From the first day of the search for a new University president, Provost Peter Salovey was consid-ered a strong candidate — but not just for Yale.

Members of the Presidential Search Committee said they vetted around 150 candidates, roughly the same number as in past searches, and Salovey’s experience and vision for the University made him a clear front-runner in the selection process. But commit-tee members considered another factor during the process: Princ-eton University and Dartmouth College are currently also search-ing for new presidents. Yale’s past four provosts all left the Univer-sity for top leadership positions at major research institutions, and Salovey’s administrative track record at Yale, where he has served as dean of both Yale College and the Graduate School before enter-ing the Provost’s O!ce, qualified him for top positions at other uni-versities.

The presidential search that led to Levin’s appointment in 1993 took 10 months, and Yale Corpora-tion Senior Fellow Roland Betts ’68 predicted in late August that the search for his successor would take

four to six months. But the process ended just 65 days after it began.

Richard Lifton, Genetics Department chair, said they had to “move with alacrity” because of the ongoing searches at other

universities. The Yale Corporation interviewed the Search Commit-tee’s top candidates last month, and Corporation members decided

STAFF REPORTERS

Provost Peter Salovey will assume the role of Yale Universi-ty’s 23rd president next fall, suc-ceeding current University Presi-dent Richard Levin.

The Yale Corporation named Salovey Yale’s next president in a Thursday afternoon announce-

ment before faculty and admin-istrators in the Hall of Gradu-ate Studies. The decision came after a nearly three-month-long search by the Presidential Search Committee, a group of eight Corporation members and four faculty members formed after Levin announced on Aug. 30 that he plans to step down at the end of the 2012-’13 academic year. Salovey had been a fixture

in the Yale community for three decades before his appointment as provost in 2008 — as a gradu-ate student, teacher and dean of both Yale College and the Grad-uate School of Arts and Sciences.

“When we looked at Peter and [matched him] against that search statement, plus the long history of the place and the rela-tionships he already had, it was a hand in glove fit,” Chair of the

Presidential Search Committee Charles Goodyear ’80 said.

Salovey said he was “thrilled” when Bass called him to deliver the news of the Yale Corpora-tion’s decision to o"er him the position on Sunday night.

“After more than 30 years here, it’s just so much fun to think about the next couple of decades,” Salovey told the News. “Yale has given me so much, and

I really want to give back through my service.”

Salovey said he hopes Levin will appoint a new provost before Salovey vacates the position on June 30.

As provost, Salovey steered the University through the 2008 financial crisis, which caused a nearly 25 percent decrease in the value of the endowment in 2009 and tore a $350 million hole in

the University’s budget. Salovey assumed all of his administra-tive roles at Yale under Levin’s leadership, and Levin said he has enjoyed working with Salovey as a “partner and collaborator” for the last 20 years.

“Obviously I appointed him as provost so I am very confident in him,” Levin said. “I’m delighted

The search for the next Yale president came to an abrupt end last Sunday night, when Provost Peter Salovey’s phone rang.

“I was so thrilled,” Salovey said of the dis-covery that he would assume the presidency on June 30, 2013. For Salovey, the past few days have been a “whirlwind,” but many of colleagues said the news that he will suc-ceed University President Richard Levin came as no surprise.

An administrator with demonstrated leadership ability, Salovey first came to Yale as a graduate student 30 years ago and has since served as dean of both Yale College and the Graduate School before assuming the University’s second-highest position as provost in 2008 — months before the onset of the recent financial downturn. Amid plummeting university endowments and crippling budget cuts nationwide, Salovey was responsible for helping set Yale on a path of recovery, and many professors have said he maintained the widespread trust of the faculty throughout the ordeal.

Salovey has also held major roles in the implementation of some of the largest ini-tiatives undertaken by the University in recent years, including Yale’s partnership with the National University of Singapore in the creation of Yale-NUS and the planning of two new residential colleges.

Edward Bass ’67, senior fellow of the Yale Corporation, said the vote to appoint Salovey was unanimous.

“Peter was the heir apparent for a num-ber of years,” said Roland Betts ’68, former senior fellow of the Corporation. “Nobody knows Yale better.”

A nearly 25 percent decline in the value of the endowment in fiscal year 2009 tore a roughly $350 million hole in the Univer-sity’s budget, and Salovey was forced to lead implementation of across-the-board budget cuts three years in a row. While the endowment has yet to recover fully to its high-water mark of $22.9 billion, it has seen positive returns on its investments in recent years and is now valued at roughly $19.3 billion. In January, Levin and Salovey announced that Yale would face a projected $67 million deficit in the 2012–’13 budget.

Renowned for his academic work in psy-chology, Salovey chaired the Yale Psy-chology Department and championed and developed the concept of emotional intelli-gence — people’s ability to understand and manage their own emotions and those of others.

In the Presidential Search Committee’s Oct. 9 statement announcing the criteria for selecting a new leader for the University, the committee specified that the ideal president would be a scholar and educator.

Salovey groomed by 30 years at Yale

OPINION

Provost Peter Salovey has held almost every se-nior leadership position at Yale. He has been a profes-sor, a department chair, a dean and a provost. We have no doubt his experi-ence will allow him to lead the University capably.

But more importantly, Salovey has been, and continues to be a student of Yale — a true member of the University community. We hope he does not lose this invaluable trait as he assumes the presidency.

His selection is not a surprise. With the Univer-sity completing a success-ful 20-year stretch under President Richard Levin’s leadership, the Yale Cor-poration made a cautious and conservative choice by choosing a candidate from within the administra-tion. While the University missed a chance to select its first woman or minor-ity as president, we believe Salovey’s experience and history of engagement with the broad Yale com-munity make him the right choice — especially for Yale College students.

By all accounts, Salovey was an immensely popular Yale College dean from 2004 to 2008, recognized as an administrator who was eager to interact with the student body. Known for his bluegrass band and his now-departed, deeply missed moustache, Salovey chose to be a personable and relatable administrator, seeming genuinely to enjoy spend-ing time with fellow Yalies. Although the provost position has distanced him from the student body, we are excited to see someone with his amicable reputa-tion find a home in Wood-bridge Hall.

While Levin has been a successful administrator, he has at times been per-ceived as aloof, restrained and managerial. He has chosen to recuse himself from student concerns. In some ways, Levin’s

presidency may be defined by this distance — it has been easy for him to make decisions about the Uni-versity’s future from the standpoint of an e!ective administrator, rather than as a true representative of the Yale community.

We assume that Salovey will be a greater pres-ence on campus. But that presence carries a respon-sibility to listen. We hope Salovey will embrace his responsibility to include students and faculty in the future of their university. The discussions surround-ing Yale-NUS, the new residential colleges and athletic admissions poli-cies have at times seemed corporate, but they must be made communal. We hope that Salovey will usher in that change.

Last year, Salovey estab-lished the very first stu-dent advisory committee for the provost’s position, and we encourage him to establish an analogous committee for the presi-dency. He has co-taught the Great Big Ideas college seminar, and we hope he will continue to engage with the student body in an academic setting.

We hope Salovey will remain a figure among stu-dents, and view interaction with undergraduates not as a chore or duty, but an opportunity to engage in constructive conversa-tion about the role of our University and our vision for its future.

If Salovey remains a presence throughout his term, he will not step down to find a student body largely apathetic about the role of the University pres-ident. Instead, he will find a student body that cares about the Yale president because the Yale president cares about them.

President Salovey, when you assume Yale’s highest o"ce next year, we hope to see your face — mus-tached or not — around our campus.

A president, a presence

Our hopes for President

Salovey.

INSIDER'S GUIDE Elizabeth Chrystal Catherine Dinh

Even though the election is over, I am still alarmed by the inconsistencies of the

far-right’s supposedly “pro-life” platform.

Despite the deceptive termi-nology for positions on abor-tion, conservative politicians in this election cycle touted pro-life policies that claimed to respect the sanctity of life. Yet many of their policies seem to actually disregard the sanctity of life after birth — or at least ignore the lives they were once determined to protect.

Many Republicans intend to preserve the sanctity of life by banning abortion. For some, this debate hinges on religious belief that defies debate. But still, some pro-life politicians decline to continue government support for the supposedly sacred lives. To me, it seems as though some on the right arbitrarily narrow the definition of who deserves our help. This is certainly incon-sistent, and it undermines their pro-life position.

A few weeks ago, New York Times columnist Thomas Fried-man made a powerful case for how inappropriate the Repub-lican moniker of pro-life is — it

misrepresents larger attitudes and beliefs of the right, di!erenti-ating Republican and Democratic principles into overly polarized categories. Friedman argued that the most pro-life politician in the United States is Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He respects a wom-an’s right to choose but promotes several policies that improve the quality of life from beginning to end. Many other pro-life politi-cians, he said, are against abor-tion, but also against gun control, the Environmental Protection Agency and other policies that are likely to enhance the quality of American lives. These stances are contradictory.

What I admire about Bloom-berg is his consistency. He is will-ing to make unpopular decisions — such as the New York City soda ban — but he can defend them since each is a smaller component of his larger plan. There is coher-ence, and thus there is rationality and reason.

Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan, meanwhile, were not consistent in the rationale they gave for their so-called pro-life arguments. According to the Romney campaign website, “Americans have a moral duty

to uphold the sanctity of life and protect the weakest, most vulner-able and most innocent among us.” If that is truly the case, then why did they promote specific reductions in federal aid to strug-gling school districts, children and low-income women?

As a prime example, Chicago serves as the third largest school district in America, and the city receives 24 percent of its reve-nue ($1.2 billion) from federally funded government programs. Under Ryan’s plan, Chicago would have lost $224 million. This loss would have adversely a!ected many of the low-income students in Chicago, like those on the Free and Reduced Price Meals (FARM) program, which helps students from low-income fami-lies in school districts across the country.

Gov. Romney also promised to cut federal funding for programs like Planned Parenthood, and though it provides abortion ser-vices, Planned Parenthood also serves low-income populations with education programs and health care services not related to abortion, o!ering family plan-ning, HIV counseling, cancer screening and STD treatments.

These services all sustain and improve the quality of human life.

Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, the debate about the sanctity of life should not end at conception. As someone who supports an individual’s right to choose, I would more easily respect the pro-life position if it reflected a consistent and con-certed e!ort to actually pro-tect the lives they fight to defend before birth.

With another four years in the White House, political lead-ers on the left have the opportu-nity to protect a woman’s right to choose — a right I believe should be free from idiosyncrasies of political debate. They also have the opportunity to rea"rm their support for government assis-tance to those who need it, defy-ing the logic that pro-choice is not pro-life.

If political leaders can accept a woman’s right to choose, we can instead focus our energy on supporting “the weakest, most vulnerable and most innocent among us.”

Understanding cultural centersI wasn’t sure what to expect the

first time I set foot in La Casa Cultural, Yale’s Latino cul-

tural house. It was the spring of 2010 and I was a disoriented pre-frosh trying too hard to make friends. I had decided to make my way over to La Casa because I am half-Mexican and was curious to see what exactly this “casa” at the predominantly white and North-eastern Yale was, but also because I had heard rumors of delicious food being served (the number one attraction). What is a cultural house? What types of people go there, and what do they do? These were the questions that floated through my head as I walked down Crown Street with my gaggle of pre-friends.

As soon as I stepped through the door, I was greeted warmly and whisked into the gallery (more like a living room, really). I spent a long time talking to current Yale students as well as other pre-frosh (I remember particularly a red-haired girl from Kansas and a suave young Hawaiian man) about the anxiety and excitement sur-rounding moving across the coast, from California to Connecticut, for college. La Casa put me at ease, but it wasn’t the only cultural cen-ter I visited that day. I felt simi-larly welcomed on trips later to both the Asian American Cultural

House (for more socializing over food) and the Afro-American Cul-tural House (for their dance party). At each place, I was greeted with smiles and friendly questions.

Over the past two years spent working with La Casa and more intimately with several of over 30 organizations housed under its umbrella, I have met an incred-ibly diverse set of people. Though La Casa is a “Latino” cultural house, within that house there are numerous distinct countries and cultures represented, as well as a myriad of personal and polit-ical viewpoints, from enthusiasti-cally liberal to emphatically con-servative to earnestly religious and everything in between. I have met Colombians, Cubans, Gua-temalans and Peruvians. I have met Catholics and non-believers, queer and straight people. I have met, most importantly, a loving and accepting community that learns from our collective di!er-ences to become something better.

However, these interactions are not limited to Hispanics. La Casa and other cultural houses such as the AACC, the Af-Am House and the Native Ameri-can Cultural House host a con-stant stream of campus-wide events, many co-sponsored with groups from around Yale. Cul-tural houses host dinners with

the Slifka Center, dances with the LGBTQ Co-op and panels with the Yale Law School to both unify and provoke thought in Yale’s large student body. My fresh-man year, freshmen liaisons from La Casa and the AACC organized an event that drew together over 100 students for a discussion on race at Yale. None of these heav-ily advertised events are restricted to members of the cultural houses and they encompass a plethora of topics (many unrelated to ethnic-ity) applicable to students regard-less of their race or “ethnic a"lia-tion.” Incredibly, individuals who choose to be involved with cul-tural centers also continue to exist in social, political and academic spheres outside of those houses, as members of the YPU, dance teams, social justice movements, academic departments and even sororities! It’s true that friend groups grow out of La Casa, which some see as exclusive, but how is that any di!erent from a cappella or fraternity friends? We need to ask ourselves why these groups, which essentially present the same issue, aren't scrutinized the same way that cultural centers are.

Importantly, as my friend Cathy Huang ’15, a leader at the AACC, noted, groups at Yale are not auto-matically granted their own space. The current cultural houses only

exist because enough students at one point in time expressed inter-est that realized a critical mass. Students fought hard and long for these centers and they are deeply valued today as community cen-ters and resource hubs, imbuing students with a sense of “hosting” others and being the educators in a system that is traditionally not inclusive of non-Western histo-ries, cultures and peoples. That is incredibly impactful and empow-ering for the students involved.

Our time at Yale is experienced through countless groupings and a"liations. Cultural houses are one of these optional associations and are arguably some of the most diverse places on campus. They provide a safe space for students who want additional support outside of dean-appointed froco groups. They provide funding for hundreds of organizations and events. They welcome people of all backgrounds to come together in a common space, and they provide a community for any student will-ing to step out of their everyday sphere of assumptions and expe-rience something new, while also kindling something familiar.

Unsatisfied hopeI have to admit, it was a lit-

tle weird being an interna-tional student at Yale during

election season. Everywhere I turned, I was greeted by enthusi-astic volunteers reminding me to vote, friends brandishing Obama T-shirts and “Hope and Change” buttons (aren’t those out of style already?), and don’t even get me started on Facebook. If I see the “Mitt Romney Gangnam Style” video one more time, I might as well move to Gangnam, Korea. I mean, it’s not like I’ll be able to find any out-of-touch million-aires there, right?

What was surprising wasn’t the ubiquity of politics on cam-pus — after all, that’s what democracy is all about. Rather, as a Chinese kid without any stake in these elections, I was struck by how fully I devoted myself to the process. I was more atten-tive to the presidential debates than my classes. I knew who Todd Akin was, and exactly why he lost his Senate race (boy, did he deserve to lose). And when I saw that President Obama had clinched Ohio, I felt as though I might cry — the zombie apoca-

lypse had been avoided. Gotham was saved. The Decepticons had been thrown back into space, and the world would be safe again for the next four years.

I’m exaggerating, of course. Yet looking back, I can’t help but wonder how the past two years at Yale have managed to shape my views and my grasp of Amer-ican politics. How did I sud-denly become this radical liberal that snickers whenever some-one mentions Fox News, when I haven’t even sat through a single Fox News program? How could I complain so naturally about the evils of big corporations, when I’ve never taken a real job in this country, and when I don’t even live here? Maybe they are right after all about the brainwash-ing power of the liberal media. Or maybe I’m just channeling the Chinese communist hidden deep inside me.

It is di"cult to overestimate the molding power of one’s sur-roundings, for better or for worse. I had always wondered how Americans could be so ideo-logically divided, with both sides being so sure of what they believe

in, yet so opposed to one another. Now I’m beginning to under-stand. It seems incredibly di"-cult to be a genuine conservative at Yale, and I can imagine how the opposite would be true in many other places around this country.

I recall a conversation I had in a Shanghai taxicab 2 1/2 years ago, right before I came to Yale. The driver, trying to start some small talk, asked me where I went to school. Still riding the eupho-ria of having gotten into Yale, I explained to him, with consid-erable pride, that I was going to America for college on a full scholarship. He snorted. With typical Chinese cynicism, he quipped, “You think the Amer-icans would just give you a free education? They are paying to train you so you would think like them and work for them. Those Americans are sly dogs, they are.”

To some extent, he was right. Yale has forever changed the way I think, and in many ways, I now feel just as American as I feel Chinese. However, I have not been brainwashed. It is true that I have come to take some values for granted, but Yale has also taught

me the importance of examining them with a critical eye.

At Yale, I am one of 5,000 20-somethings locked up together in a castle of wealth and privilege, trying to “figure out” the world while desperately look-ing to one another for approval and confirmation. At this place, where a majority of us start out with a set of similar assumptions, and where our voice can seem like the only one out there, American and international students alike face the very real danger of intel-lectual homogenization.

We can only combat that dan-ger through conversation and introspection. We must learn to recognize where our biases and prejudices lie, and work to restrain them.

Values that we ingest but not digest are ultimately unsatisfy-ing. That may be why, three days removed from the election, I find myself unable to enjoy Obama’s win as much as I had once imag-ined.

PAULA DEENFRIDAY FORUM “I would not want to live in a world without fried pork chops.”

G U E S T C O L U M N I S T E L I Z A B E T H C H R Y S T A L

Eat this class

Not long ago, one of my friends confessed to me that she had subsisted

almost entirely o! of goat cheese and Wheat Thins while living in Washington, D.C., this summer. “What, your job didn’t even give you time to eat?!” I exclaimed, imagining workaholic colleagues refusing to leave their desks even for a quick sandwich. “Nope, it wasn’t that,” she answered, embarrassed. “It’s that I’m a hopeless cook. I can barely even make toast properly.”

My friend is far from alone. Even at Yale, where I’m floored by my classmates’ abilities in areas ranging from Indian dance to organic chemistry, I’m reminded how many of my peers lack con-fidence when it comes to cook-ing. The all-star student at home in the lab or the concert hall often feels utterly lost in the kitchen. During the school year, with din-ing halls and GHeav to keep us full, this isn’t much of a problem. But during vacations, over the summer or — dare I say it — after graduation, not knowing how to cook can become a serious issue. Eating out all the time is not just expensive and unhealthy, it means you’re missing out on the creativity and sociability inher-ent in cooking. (And a note to guys: few things will impress a girl more than being able to whip up a tasty meal.)

Most Yalies don’t need con-vincing that cooking might be a useful skill to learn, and some even realize that they could get pretty darn good at it without putting in too much time. You certainly don’t need to go to cook-ing school, like I did this summer, to master the basics and get good at a few dishes that will impress your friends. The first step is to figure out what you want to cook, then carve out the time to learn it. Below, a few suggestions.

Let’s start with the basics: grains. Whether your favorite staple is pasta, toasted bread, rice or couscous, learn how to make it well and consistently. Ask your mom or dad for help; they’ll be more than happy to let you put on the apron.

Next up, breakfast. There’s nothing like starting the day with eggs cooked the way you like them. Whether that’s scrambled, hard-boiled, fried or (my favorite) poached, you owe it to yourself to learn how to cook them well. Eggs are inexpensive enough that even if you botch a few batches, it’s no big deal.

Once those are mastered, try soup. Soup has a lot of things going for it: it tends to be cheap to make, it’s pretty healthy, it freezes

well and it’s the perfect way to use up those vegetables that have been hanging around the back of your fridge a little too long. Soup also has the advantage of being hard to mess up. Ladies and gen-tlemen, get out your ladles.

The thing I probably get asked the most is how to cook protein: meat, fish and chicken. Broil-ing and sautéing are easy ways of preparing all of these, and can be easily learned in a small kitchen — whether that’s your residen-tial college or a closet-sized space in a New York City apart-ment. Accept the fact that you may screw up a few times, and remember that chicken — unlike fish — needs to be cooked all the way through.

Finally, think about a dish to make for a dinner party with friends or as the star of that afore-mentioned date night. My per-sonal go-to is scallops. Quickly seared in a pan and served with some melted butter, they seem fancy but can be perfected after one or two practice sessions.

Your parents probably learned to cook out of a dog-eared copy of “Joy of Cooking” or “Good Housekeeping.” Those are still useful, but even better stu! is available on the Internet: The New York Times’ Minimalist and City Kitchen columns are partic-ularly good. Check out the web-site of your favorite Food Network personality to learn the essentials before you start a recipe.

With Thanksgiving break approaching, there could hardly be a more appropriate time to start thinking about creat-ing your own Cooking 101 cur-riculum — this time, instead of books, you’ll be working your way through dishes guaranteed to keep you happy and full whenever you’re living on your own. Watch out, though — because not only will your dog eat your homework, but your roommate, best friend or “that cute girl from section” might too. A+.

The other day I was on the subway and found myself thinking, “Wow, someone

really smells like meat on this train.” Then I realized, “Wait, that’s me.” And that’s a scary thing to come to terms with — that you’re the one on the sub-way that smells like meat.

Yet I took pride in that moment, because it meant I had worked so hard for the past eight hours that I smelled like everything I’d accomplished — the sliced meats, the garlic aioli, the buttered multigrain bread, even the pickling liquid I had poured over two pounds of shallots and (unintentionally) my right thigh.

It is from this place that I urge upperclassman Yalies to con-sider the full range of options — and backup plans — available to them after graduation. Sand-wich making is among these options, despite the fact that

UCS, your professors or any-one you’ve managed to network with (side note: if anyone has a spare moment, I’d like network-ing explained to me) probably won’t communicate this to you.

One of the basic premises of a Yale education is that you will leave the institution success-ful. You were already success-ful in high school — perhaps you designed your yearbook, built houses on impoverished islands or went to prom sober. But suc-cess that matters starts in col-lege, and attending an elite uni-versity is meant to increase your

chances of finding a well-pay-ing, real-life-person job. Not only the quality of your Yale education, but also its name brand, will get you noticed. You will get noticed by banks, pub-lications, firms, agencies and other impressive categories of workplace.

I have neither been noticed nor achieved real-person suc-cess. By day, I make sand-wiches. By other days, I work as an unpaid intern for a maga-zine. By night, I fall asleep sleep to the dulcet sounds of Down-ton Abbey. When I can find the time, I try to write things. But only if “Dance Moms” isn’t on. “Dance Moms” takes priority.

It would seem that I don’t fit the image of a recent Yale grad-uate. I haven’t lived up to what my parents, my professors, those Yale admissions pam-phlets — even what I — expected of me. While my friends and

former classmates wear pencil skirts to work, I wear mayon-naise-stained cut-offs. They sit at desks, they have vacations, they company-retreat, they live near sushi restaurants. They’ve made it. Though I envy their success and seamless transition into adulthood, I have come to terms with my own strange transition. I have come to rec-ognize the value of the finan-cial, emotional and physical struggle that comes with the life of a part-time sandwich maker, full-time hustler.

When you’re making sand-wiches, nothing matters but that sandwich and what you must do to craft it. Cut the baguette in half, put aioli one side and Dijon on the other, rosemary ham, cheddar, sprin-kle on the garlic pickles, put it into the panini press — try not to get burned! — start the other sandwich that mustachioed-

man just ordered, cut the pro-sciutto for it — but don’t forget about the other sandwich grill-ing! — all while making sure the meat slicer doesn’t meat-slice-off your finger.

No part of my Yale educa-tion prepared me for this fast-paced, highly-focused and highly-physical type of task (though certainly both myself and others have worked jobs of this ilk before and during col-lege). I’ve found that this diver-sity of work, this diversion from the intellectual and the inter-personal that is the founda-tion of the Yale experience, has allowed me to interact with the world in an entirely new way. I’ve learned to appreciate the sensory world and the beautiful nuances of food: the way pro-sciutto folds when sliced, the chewy bite of seconds-toasted baguette, the satisfying feeling of wrapping a sandwich tightly

and well. This isn’t to say I haven’t

thought about leaving the sand-wich game; it’s not wildly lucra-tive and often hurts my body. But the hurt is rewarding, because I know it comes from feeding people delicious sandwiches — the greatest gift of all. More sig-nificantly, the job has given me time to think about what I really want to do, and I think many recently graduated Yalies could benefit from a temporary diver-sion from traditional trajecto-ries of success. There should be more information, support and networks available to those who don’t land or want that news-paper or consulting job. When I was a senior, those few months ago, I wish someone had told me it was all right — nay, noble — to make sandwiches.

The essentials

There may be no U-Hauls, but we are now able to cheer on our foot-ball team as they strut through

our Tailgate Village — and damn do they look good in their pads and tight span-dex (well, most of them). SAE boys may no longer lounge on couches in tweed jackets or grill hotdogs, but there is now a ubiquitous amount of pizza/hotdogs/burgers/chips — basically every type of food your intoxicated appetite may want.

Once you get dropped o! at the gates of the student tailgate area, you are greeted with a smile. There are no big nasty guards patting you down and smelling your breath — just don’t be that idiot who’s slurring his words at 10 a.m. You can bring in a bottle of Gatorade and who knows what’s actually in it, and even more importantly, who really cares as long as you’re keeping your act together.

Once in the tailgate area you will be greeted by the Women’s and Men’s Lacrosse team, who will be dressed up in something absurd — because, let’s be honest, Halloween is the best holiday, so why not have it every Saturday? Every-one will be dancing, because yes, unlike last year there is a DJ. And no, he is not some random DJ that plays bad music — he is Ari Gorfain. Ari will play that song you want to request but are too lazy to ask for; he reads minds. He is also not some random DJ that just sits there and

stares at his sound system and checks his phone. He plays corn hole with the boys so he can learn a little about them. He will compliment you on your cos-tume, or call you out for being drafted by the Cincinnati Reds — because, let’s be honest, that is something to talk about.

But in the end, tailgating isn’t really about any of this at all. It’s not about what we are wearing, the food we are getting to eat or who’s sober and who’s not. It goes back before any of us were even born, back to the tailgate fields (now tennis court area) as a place where everyone is welcomed. The field doesn’t notice what frat you are in or if you play a sport or if you prefer a cappella. It doesn’t care if you are in Theta or Pi Phi or think sororities are just plain dumb — there are no cliques on the tailgate field. Now the di!erent colleges and frats may not get to ride in on U-Hauls, but they can each have their own picnic table and

put whatever they want on it, from pink cupcakes and Peppermint Schnapps to Natty Light and potato chips.

The Athletic department didn’t put new rules in place or create the Tailgate Village to take away a tradition; they are trying to preserve it. They are trying to contain us, because sometimes in our 20s we need to be contained. They went to college once too, some of them even went to Yale; they understand tradition. They are giving us free food, booze and a DJ — what more could we ask for? So maybe everyone sitting in their rooms boycotting the tailgates because they think that’s the cool thing, needs to grow up, put some weird clothes on (or maybe don’t) and come dance. You can’t really have an opinion until you experi-ence for yourself.

Maybe, this Saturday, the hipsters can mingle with the athletes, and the The-tas can meet some Pi Phis. Maybe more people will walk towards the stadium at kick-o! and maybe the Yale Bowl won’t be so empty. Maybe our players will finally get to hear their names cheered by their peers instead of just their par-ents and maybe we’ll get to watch our Bulldogs beat the Tigers. Basically, put on your dancing shoes Saturday morn-ing and carry out a tradition.

A week after Yale students hud-dled in their dorms under a Hurri-cane Sandy campus-wide curfew, some, including New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, have begun to blame the late-October hurricane on climate change.

But while the theory that San-dy’s strength was a solely a result of climate change has gained trac-tion, few climate researchers attri-bute the magnitude of last week’s hurricane — which saw winds up to 110 mph and 185 deaths — just to global warming. Virginia Bur-kett, chief scientist for climate and land use change at the U.S. Geo-logical Survey, said that climate change most likely played a role in the enormous scale of the storm, but it was not the only contribut-ing factor.

“Right now, people want to assume that everything bad hap-pening is due to climate change,” Yale professor of forest pol-icy Robert Mendelsohn GRD ’78 said. “But if you actually look at the power of recent storms, this decade has not been atypical. Sandy was not that unusual.”

Sandy’s destruction could be the result of a combination of atmospheric warming, sea level rise and natural variability, Burkett said. Another factor that contrib-uted to Sandy’s destructiveness was the dense development along the East Coast, she added.

Most climate scientists agree that over the next century, climate change will cause weather condi-tions to grow more extreme. Pow-ered by warm seawater, hurricanes are expected to worsen as climate change leads to higher global tem-peratures, increasing in intensity by 5 percent by the end of the cen-tury. But Mendelsohn said that Hurricane Sandy was not related to climate change because it was not a particularly intense storm.

Thomas Knutson, a research meteorologist with the Geo-physical Fluid Dynamics Lab-oratory said that establishing a link between Sandy and climate change is particularly difficult because his research has found that global warming may in fact lead to fewer hurricanes, as shifts in wind patterns resulting from climate change may lower the fre-quency and power of storms over the next century.

If the link between storm inten-sity and global warming were to be established, political scientists are hopeful that policymakers will prioritize climate change legisla-tion.

Yale assistant professor of envi-ronmental and energy econom-ics Kenneth Gillingham said that policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions could lower the probability of intense storms and decrease global warming.

“The U.S. alone is large enough to make some di!erence,” Gilling-ham said.

Environmental governance professor Benjamin Cashore warned that in order to impact the nation’s long-term attitude toward climate change, citizens should advocate for structural changes within the U.S. govern-ment to allow it to better fight

rising temperatures and sea lev-els. Cashore cited the example of nations such as Australia that have created independent scientific committees that advise the gov-ernment on environmental policy.

“Focusing solely on what our policymakers will or won’t do

misses larger critical factors about the political environment that we’re working in,” Cashore said. “It’s not a question of whether politicians are listening — the larger point is whether we can cre-ate institutions that will allow us to tend to our nation’s long-term

interests, especially regarding the environment.”

Hurricane Sandy inflicted an estimated $50 billion of economic damage.

NEWS “The musicals had a good, happy feeling, saying that the world is a better place. They say it’s not reality, but who cares? There’s too much reality these days.” SHIRLEY JONES ACTRESS

PAGE 4 YALE DAILY NEWS · FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2012 · yaledailynews.com

BY ANYA GRENIER STAFF REPORTER

Yesterday, the Dramat main-stage musical “The Drowsy Chaperone” opened for its four-day run. An 18-person cast and roughly 100-person crew are working on what will be the larg-est dramatic production of the semester.

Dramat musicals typically have “a pretty hefty budget,” said Dra-mat President Meredith Davis ’13, who declined to provide specific estimates of “Drowsy’s” expenses. Davis explained that musicals are significantly more expensive to stage than plays due to factors including larger casts and more complicated microphones and sound equipment. And while both plays and musicals outside of the public domain require produc-ers to apply for rights, the rights to plays are typically about half the price than those of musicals. The companies that hold musical rights, including Musical Theatre International, also charge a fee for supplying materials necessary to do the show itself: the scripts, scores and librettos a team needs just to begin rehearsals.

In part due to these expenses, even the Dramat, which has by far the greatest financial resources of any theater organization on cam-pus, does not stage more than two musicals of their seven total shows a year, Davis said.

But staging just a single musi-cal can be a challenge for stu-dents who work independently of the Dramat, usually with the help of the Creative and Performing Arts Awards administered by the Council of Masters. Undergradu-ate students can apply for these grants — which support every-thing from art exhibitions and film productions to dance and the-ater projects — at the beginning of each semester through their resi-dential colleges.

Seven of nine students inter-viewed who have worked on CPA-funded musicals said they found themselves encountering finan-cial di"culties due to the cost of rights. Javier Cienfuegos ’15 said the CPA Award budget cannot realistically cover the costs of the show’s staging once producers purchase rights.

“A lot of people express initial

interest [in working on musicals] and get put off by how bureau-cratic and expensive it is,” Cien-fuegos said.

‘THROUGH THE BACK DOOR’When Cienfuegos staged the

musical “Urinetown” last spring, he needed $1,400 — the exact cost of the CPA’s maximum $1,200 grant and $200 supplement for purchasing rights — to cover start-up expenses like rights and materials. And four students interviewed who have worked on CPA-funded musicals said the award’s reimbursement system, which refunds expenses after a show’s completion, made the pro-cess of acquiring rights more dif-ficult. Ezra Stiles College Master Stephen Pitti said that the univer-sity adopts this system to ensure that CPA awards fund “shows that actually happen.”

But this reimbursement pro-cess causes students to feel as though they need $1,200 up front just to begin working on shows, said Nathaniel Dolquist ’14, who directed the musical “Once Upon a Mattress” last semester.

“It’s one thing to lose sleep or be really stressed about a show, but to feel like you need to spend money on a show you don’t have … that just shouldn’t be asked of us,” said Gabrielle Hoyt-Disick ’15, who directed the musical “Tick, Tick … Boom!” this semester.

Despite the di"culties posed by the CPA reimbursement process, Hoyt-Disick ’15 said the grant was ultimately just enough to pay for her production — as long as she kept it to a smaller scale. When she decided to direct her first show to go up this October, she and pro-ducer Laurel German ’15 looked carefully for a musical to stage on a limited scale, in part due to the enormous cost of rights. Hoyt-

Disick said she and German set-tled on “Tick, Tick … Boom!” because the three-person musi-cal lent itself well to “scrounging” on the design side, with costumes costing roughly $50 in total and a set composed largely of pre-exist-ing pieces.

But the limited cost of stag-ing “Tick, Tick … Boom!” is extremely unusual for musicals, most of which call for larger casts — and more costumes — due to the chorus as well as more com-plex staging and sound equip-ment. Accordingly, working within the CPA budget is simply not an option, said Andrew Bezek ’13, who produced the larger-scale musical “Once Upon a Mattress” that Dolquist directed.

When Bezek began producing “Mattress,” he said he knew from the beginning that the CPA grant would not be sufficient — the rights and materials alone added up to around $1,000.

He added that he was also “in a unique position” at the time as a member of the Undergradu-ate Organizations Funding Com-mittee board, now known as the Undergraduate Organizations Committee. The UOC generally funds year-round student orga-nizations including a cappella and dance groups. With theater, on the other hand, “each production is a mini, temporary organiza-tion,” Bezek said, because “[UOC] doesn’t readily fund shows.”

Obtaining UOC funding for “Mattress” meant jump-ing through “a couple of strange hoops,” Dolquist explained. The team formed the Rodgers and Hammerstein Appreciation Coali-tion, which was largely comprised of the cast. The performance was then billed as a “Rodgers and Hammerstein event,” he said.

“It was a little through the back door,” Dolquist said. “But you do what you got to do.”

UOC is not the only source of alternative funding students have found ways to tap.

Cole Florey ’14, who produced “Cabaret” last spring, said in a Wednesday email that the show was partially supported by the Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale, which has a fund for arts projects with themes affecting Judaism. Another musical — the student-written “Glass Act” — worked out a sponsorship deal with the Gant clothing store on York St., Cienfuegos, who directed the show, said. Yale Drama Coali-tion President Irene Casey ’14 added that students staging senior projects are also eligible for Mellon funding.

Dolquist, who is directing “Into the Woods” this April, said he is considering trying to secure funds

through UOC once more. He is also investigating the possibility of making the show an academic project and receiving funding from the Theater Studies depart-ment.

“We will keep looking for secret places where money is being held,” Dolquist said.

Still, in many cases where shows have failed to pull together su"cient funding, students have simply contributed their own money, Cienfuegos said. Students working on musicals are especially likely to pay out of pocket, he explained, adding that he person-ally spent $400 on “Urinetown.”

Dolquist said that while he is aware that other students con-tribute funding to theater projects out of pocket, this is not a univer-sal solution.

“I don’t have that kind of money, and my family doesn’t have that kind of money,” Dolquist said.

SEARCHING FOR TRANSPARENCY

Despite these challenges, Bezek said he does not think the CPA program should feel pressure to “give everyone everything,” since Yale is dealing with finite resources and a potentially infi-nite amount of requests.

Additionally, residential col-leges such as Ezra Stiles and Cal-houn sometimes reimburse pro-ducers for initial costs such as materials upfront, and Pitti said he regularly approves requests to buy the rights to shows. Dif-ferences in the way each college administers the award, however, means the process of applying for funding in advance could be unclear to some students. Casey said that unifying residential col-leges policies regarding upfront payment could help address some of this confusion.

Bezek said sources of supple-mentary funding should also be more transparent, adding that first-time producers in particular may find searching for funding in various places “daunting.”

“You know about these ways, or you don’t — there’s no codi-fied system,” Hoyt-Disick said. “[Finding alternative funding] is viewed as kind of sneaky. That’s just not the way it should be.”

Casey said she is working with both Cahan and Undergraduate Production to brainstorm possi-ble ways of reforming the current system to prevent students from having to pursue funds not meant for shows. While Cahan said she understands that gathering funds from various sources is a logi-cal strategy for shows, students who do so “risk compromising the intent of the donors.”

Casey said the YDC is work-ing on a proposal to increase the maximum amount of money CPA Awards can provide and is col-lecting information on how much students have spent on rights in past years. Increasing the amount of the award would not only pre-vent people from pursuing alter-native funding routes, but would also even the playing field of pro-ducing theater at Yale, she added.

“We should all have the same options open to us in terms of where we’re getting funding,” Casey said.

Cahan and Head of UP Kate Krier DRA ’07 meet weekly with YDC leaders and annually with a broader group of students from the undergraduate theater com-munity. Krier said she is “opti-mistic” and “very excited” about the ideas that will come out of the upcoming meetings, but noted that any changes made to the CPA program will have to be made by the residential colleges.

“Everything that has occurred in terms of [extracurricular] the-ater development at Yale College has occurred as a result of student input,” Cahan said. “That’s what drives us.”

Casey said the YDC has met with great success in the past by collaborating with administra-tors. Recently, these meetings have resulted in initiatives such as simplifying the process for reserving classrooms as theater

rehearsal spaces through the Pro-vost’s O"ce, lengthening the time span in which a CPA Award can be used and centralizing the resi-dential college theater reservation system.

Nevertheless, Casey admitted she is uncertain that the proposal to expand the funding for musicals will be met with success.

“It’s a big thing to ask for, and it may not be possible,” Casey said.

Raphael Shapiro ’13 said that the quality and quantity of shows at Yale is one of the reasons he came to Yale, but that students should understand “everything is limited.”

“If musical theater is what you want to work on here, be aware of what kind of shows you can do,” Shapiro said.

Hoyt-Disick largely agreed, saying the limits imposed by CPA Awards train production crews how to creatively produce seri-ous theater on a budget. But when funding and logistical concerns become a deterrent from staging musicals, she said administra-tors need to begin reforming the CPA award process or establish-ing consistent sources of alterna-tive funding.

“We need to look at the system and ask how it can be fixed,” Hoyt-Disick said.

James Bennet ’88, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, joked to an audience of roughly 50 Yalies that the main idea behind the magazine was to publish “really long stories.”

Bennet spoke at a Davenport Col-lege Master’s Tea on Thursday, where he discussed his career in journalism as well as The Atlantic’s goals — which he defined as publishing ideas to improve American society — before answering several questions from audience mem-bers. In his talk, Bennet said that after moving to The Atlantic in 2006, he sought to create a new identity for the magazine to keep up with the changing face of journalism.

“[We] are experimenting wildly with all these di!erent forms [of writing],” he said. “The last thing [the founders] would want us to do is to treat it like a museum piece.”

Though Bennet said he “never set out really to be a journalist,” he worked on his high school paper and served as editor-in-chief of The New Jour-nal while at Yale. He said he fell in love with journalism because he “loved school and learning, and journalism is a profession that rewards that love,” and after graduation, he worked at The Washington Monthly and eventually

The New York Times. Bennet added that covering a variety of subjects at The New York Times, such as metro news, business, politics and media, helped him become an experienced reporter.

When he arrived at The Atlantic as editor-in-chief, Bennet said he went through a “period of searching” for the magazine’s identity, which had not been well-defined by his predecessors. Once he defined the publication’s pur-pose as trying to interpret the “Ameri-can idea” through di!erent voices and perspectives, he said, he felt liberated because it unified the writers in aiming to improve the nation as a whole. As editor-in-chief, Bennet said he enjoys letting reporters pitch their own ideas and allows their stories to follow their own interests. He added that he thinks the magazine’s voice is composed of “part memoir, part narrative, part pro-file, part literary review.”

Bennet said he found that the rise of Internet search engines negatively affected journalism at first because journalists solely focused on getting a high view count. But the increased popularity of social networking tools has helped broaden The Atlantic’s readership.

After the Master’s Tea, previously selected members of the audience joined Bennet for dinner in Davenport, during which he discussed six articles from three student publications.

Atlantic editor discusses journalism BY COLLEEN FLYNN

CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

A Yale study showing a significant bias against women in the sciences con-tinues to make waves across the world of academia.

The paper, written by Yale faculty and published in the October issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was discussed at a panel hosted by Women in Science at Yale Thursday night in Davies Audito-rium. Drawing over 100 audience mem-bers from across the Yale community, panelists discussed the findings of the study, which showed that male candi-dates were preferred by science faculty members of both genders.

The study surveyed over 130 faculty members from top research universi-ties, who were given one application for a lab manager and told they were helping in the hiring process. The applications were identical except for the name of the candidate — half of them were from an applicant named John, and the other half were from an applicant named Jen-nifer. Both male and female science fac-ulty members were more likely to rate the male candidate as very competent, were more likely to hire him and rate him as worthy of their mentorship and paid him an average of $4,000 more than the identical female applicant, the study found.

“The hardest part for scientists is that they see their work as highly objec-tive and themselves as disinterested observers, and they feel they know how to be objective, so it is hard for them to admit they have a bias,” said Yale astron-omy and physics professor Priyamvada Natarajan, a chair of the Women’s Fac-ulty Forum.

Natarajan said she was not surprised by the findings supporting a gender bias against women because they align with her experience in science departments at major universities. At the panel dis-cussion, Natarajan said these stereo-types and preferences develop at a very young age because society conditions people to think in prejudiced ways.

Panelist Rana Dajani, a molecu-lar biologist at Hashemite University in Jordan and a visting Fulbright scholar at Yale, said this bias originates from the di!erent expectations set up for men

and women in the home. Because peo-ple view man as the breadwinner and woman as in charge of the child-rearing, people see the world through that lens, Dajani said. She and some of her col-leagues have discussed the possibility of conducting a similar study in the Arab world, where the number of women and men in the sciences is almost equal.

In some science departments at Yale, there is a large disparity between the number of male and female faculty members.

Megan Urry, chair of the phys-ics department and director of the Yale Center for Astronomy and Astro-physics, said in her department of 34, only four faculty members are women. Women are under-represented in the field as a whole, as only 12 percent of physics faculty members are women, according to the American Institute of Physics.

Corinne Moss-Racusin, a post-doc-toral associate at Yale and an author of the paper, said the bias a!ects everyone, even people who think they are egalitar-ian.

“Often, paradoxically, people who think of themselves as objective and egalitarian are often not on their guard against these creeping biases,” she said.

All four panelists said mentoring is a key issue in gender equity in science.

In academia, particularly the sci-ences, mentoring is crucial and can often make or break one’s career, Natarajan said. Data from the PNAS paper, though, showed faculty members were more willing to devote their time to mentor male candidates than the equally quali-fied female candidates.

Unconscious gender bias results in a waste of intellectual talent by excluding qualified candidates, Urry said. Rather than focusing on the gender of a can-didate, the science community should instead “keep their eyes on excellence,” Natarajan added.

Now that the science community is aware of its own bias, Moss-Racusin said scientists and scientific institu-tions must take action to avoid future stereotyping. Though she said the big-gest changes usually come from the top down, individuals cannot always wait for this big change and should instead push for more intervention research on this gender bias.

She also recommended that depart-ments change their mentoring struc-ture — perhaps by providing secondary mentors and establishing a more trans-parent advising system — to prevent bias.

Post-doctoral associate Cheryl Seif-ert, who attended the panel, said she thought it was very surprising to hear about a bias in the sciences.

“The first step in counteracting the bias is awareness,” she said.

Physics student Wendell Smith GRD ’16 said the panelists did a good job approaching the topic from both a male and a female perspective. Though he was among the approximately 15 men in attendance, Smith said about half the men present asked questions.

WISAY hosted a panel last year that discussed the underrepresentation of women in the science fields.

*acting presidents

on Oct. 31 that they were ready to make a final decision this past weekend, former Yale Corporation Senior Fel-low Edward Bass ’67 said.

But a series of cancellations and absences suggest the search process’ end came sooner than expected. On Tuesday, Levin canceled a meeting in New York for Thursday afternoon, based on emails obtained by the News. Levin was also scheduled to speak at a Yale Col-lege Council town hall event Thursday evening, but the YCC was not informed the event had to be canceled until immediately after Salovey was named president at a cer-emony Thursday afternoon. Bass said the Corporation made its decision to meet last weekend while he was on a plane to Cuba, so he attended the weekend’s discussions over a conference call from a Cuban hotel room. In addi-tion, Yale College Dean Mary Miller was not in atten-dance at Thursday’s event.

Salovey and other administrators declined to com-ment as to whether he had received an o!er at another university.

When asked why the Corporation decided to make the announcement this week, Bass said the Corporation was “ready.”

English professor Amy Hungerford, a member of the Search Committee, said the scarcity of highly quali-fied candidates for any university presidency caused the committee to speed up its search.

“I think it was clear when we realized how many peer institutions were searching for presidents at the same time that if we really wanted the best chance for the best person, we had to move very fast,” Hungerford said.

Chair of the Presidential Search Committee Charles Goodyear ’80 said the committee had planned to “move in an expedited way” from early in the process. Goodyear added that the committee only took Yale’s best interests into account during the process without considering on external factors such as other searches.

Search Committee member Judith Chevalier ’89, a professor at the School of Management, said the com-mittee did not sacrifice thoroughness in vetting candi-dates. After evaluating potential successors to Levin, she

said, the committee decided Salovey was the best choice for the job and condensed months of work into a nine-week search.

Howard Gardner, an expert in leadership at the Har-vard Graduate School of Education, described the con-text of the search as a “perfect storm” for a quick selec-tion. While it is not unusual for presidential searches to last for over a year, Gardner said selection processes tend to be shorter when the preceding president is considered successful and there is an obvious, qualified successor.

Gardner added that in Levin’s time as president, he was known for his ability to groom future leaders, which he said would make Salovey an attractive candidate for other institutions. During Levin’s tenure, eight top Yale administrators went on to leadership roles at nine dif-ferent institutions — Cambridge, Carnegie Mellon, Col-gate, Duke, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Oxford, Swarthmore, the University of Pennsylvania and Wellesley.

“Of course [Salovey] would be considered because Rick Levin is known worldwide as a person who devel-ops future leaders,” Gardner said. “Any other university would put [Salovey] on their short list.”

Princeton Vice President and Secretary Robert Dur-kee, who will also be staffing his university’s search committee, said Princeton is still in the early stages of its selection process. The committee held its first meet-ing last month and is currently engaging in forums and discussions about the search, with the aim of selecting a candidate to present to the trustees in the spring, Dur-kee said.

Members of Dartmouth’s presidential search com-mittee could not be reached Thursday evening.

The Yale Corporation announced Salovey’s appoint-ment at 2:30 p.m. Thursday in the Hall of Graduate Studies.

“[Salovey] is somebody who has made a real di!erence in the world of ideas,” said Howard Gardner, an expert on leadership at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. “Among great universities and colleges, we like people who not only can administer well, but who are respected intellectually because they have made a real contribu-tion.”

Since becoming provost, Salovey has continued to guest lecture for “Introduction to Psychology” classes and has co-taught the experimental residential college seminar “Great Big Ideas.”

As Yale College dean, Salovey led the implementation of several large reforms that emerged from the recom-mendations of the Committee on Yale College Education, which reviewed the state of undergraduate education at Yale in the early 2000s. But faculty and alumni said they remember his tenure for his focus on students rather than for his policy initiatives.

Salovey conducted the Yale Precision Marching Band at major athletic competitions — a tradition current Yale College Dean Mary Miller has continued. Salovey told the News in 2011 that he believed his conducting brought luck to athletes.

“I said, ‘I’m going to do something to change our luck,’” Salovey recalled. “‘I’m going to go over to the band and ask them if they’ll let me conduct.’”

Salovey’s interest in music extends beyond the football field: Students know him as an aficionado of bluegrass music, which he discovered while an undergraduate at Stanford University in the 1970s, and as a founding mem-ber of the band the Professors of Bluegrass. Formed in the early 1990s by Salovey and psychology professor Kelly Brownell, the band has played at many venues, includ-ing Toad’s Place, and performed at Levin’s inauguration

in 1993, Brownell said. Band member and banjo player Oscar Hills, a psychi-

atry professor, said the group no longer practices regu-larly on Sunday afternoons in the basement of Salovey’s home, but the five core members and various veterans of the group still get together as often as they can, adding that the band has taken several road trips during which they would “camp out in a couple of motel rooms.”

“He always pokes fun at his terrible singing, which of course isn’t really terrible at all,” Hills said.

While Salovey prepares to assume the position of Uni-versity president in June, one final question looms on his colleagues’ minds: will the mustache he shaved o! in 2009 make a return?

Though he said he will not make any promises about the walrus-like mustache that graced his chin for 33 years before its demise, Salovey added that he once told Chief Investment O"cer David Swenson that he might con-sider regrowing the mustache “when the endowment gets back to its high-water mark.”

Fortunately, Salovey will lead a Yale much stronger than the University Levin inherited in 1993: Under Levin’s leadership, Yale has experienced a period of accelerated academic and financial growth, bolstered its relationship with the city of New Haven and solidified its reputation as one of the world’s premier educational institutions.

During one of his search committee interviews, Salovey said he was asked to describe his vision for the University.

“I answered with four phrases,” he told the crowd gath-ered in the Hall of Graduate Studies Thursday afternoon. “A more unified Yale, a more innovative Yale, a more accessible Yale and a more excellent Yale.”

to see that the Corporation had the confidence in him to give him this opportunity.”

Salovey has inhabited many areas of the University since arriving in New Haven in 1981. As a student, he completed M.S. and M.Phil. degrees and earned a Ph.D. in 1986, joining the faculty later that year. Salovey then became chair of the Psychol-ogy Department in 2000, dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 2003, dean of Yale College in 2004 and provost in 2008.

The Presidential Search Statement, released by the Presidential Search Committee on Oct. 9, said the new president must be “a scholar and edu-cator” with a commitment to admin-istrative duties, among other quali-ties. Four members of the Presidential Search Committee and five adminis-trators interviewed said they predict Salovey’s breadth of experience at Yale will help him unify the Univer-sity.

“Peter loves this place so dearly — he has been engaged and led in every arena since his first year as a grad stu-dent,” Vice President Linda Lorimer said. “This is a tremendous moment for Yale.”

Presidential Search Committee

member Amy Hungerford said she hopes Salovey will connect the parts of Yale that “seem like separate things sometimes,” such as the Law School, Drama School and science programs. She added that Salovey communi-cates the University’s central goals well.

Of the 53 students interviewed fol-lowing Thursday’s announcement, none expressed a negative reac-tion to Salovey’s appointment as the next president, and 36 students who said they were familiar with Salovey praised him as a charismatic choice.

Former Senior Fellow of the Yale Corporation Roland Betts ’68 called Salovey an “absolutely fabulous choice.”

Yale’s last four provosts under Levin have gone to lead the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Oxford and University of Cambridge.

BY MONICA DISARESTAFF REPORTER

Following Thursday’s announcement that Provost Peter Salovey will succeed University President Richard Levin as Yale’s top administrator, city officials voiced excitement and optimism that the long-time New Haven resident will con-tinue the progressive town-gown part-nership initiated under his predecessor.

Levin assumed the presidency in 1993, at a time when decades of discon-nect between the University and the city left students wary of venturing beyond campus and New Haven residents dis-trustful of an expansive neighbor. Today, the former economics professor passes a mantle of town-gown accomplishments — including educational, economic development and outreach e!orts — to his presidential successor. Local resi-dents and elected o"cials said they view Salovey’s appointment to the presiden-tial post as a step forward for Yale’s rela-tionship with New Haven and believe he will carry on Levin’s legacy of promoting partnerships between the University and the Elm City.

“Peter comes to us as someone we all know. He has lived for 30 years in the city. He’s a part of the city,” Mayor John DeStefano Jr. said, “[Working with New Haven] will be second nature to him.”

Aldermen interviewed also said Salovey’s appointment is a positive sign for New Haven. Though neither Ward 10 alderman Justin Elicker FES ’10 SOM ’10 nor Ward 7 alderman Doug Haus-laden ’04 said they have worked directly with Salovey on city initiatives, both are hopeful his appointment will be benefi-cial to the New Haven community.

“I am very optimistic Mr. Salovey will continue and expand Yale’s role in being an active and positive force in the city,” Elicker said.

Aldermen and city locals interviewed pointed to Salovey’s residence in New Haven as a sign of his investment in the city. Elicker said that while some pro-fessors choose to live in the suburbs, Salovey’s decision to live in New Haven for 30 years makes him a “dedicated res-ident.” DeStefano said that, having lived in the city for decades, Salovey under-stands the “texture” and “importance” of town-gown relation-building.

But Bruce Alexander ’65, vice presi-dent for New Haven and state a!airs and campus development, said Salovey’s relationship with the city is not limited to his status as one of its residents. The two worked together on University projects benefiting New Haven public schools 15 years ago, and Alexander said he is confi-dent that Salovey will be an active leader in the community as Yale’s president.

“Peter is very interested in New Haven and will certainly continue the Univer-sity’s very substantial involvement in community a!airs and civic leadership,” Alexander said in an email to the News.

Salovey arrived to the city in the fall of 1981 as a graduate student during a difficult era for Yale and New Haven. Through much of the 1980s and into the early 1990s, the University was burdened with deteriorating infrastructure, per-sisting labor union strikes and a multi-million dollar deficit. At the same time, the city was struggling to control high rates of unemployment, record level school dropouts and poverty. New Haven saw a then all-time high of 34 homicides in 1991, which included the death of Yale student Christian Prince ’93. Prince was shot to death by a New Haven resident on the steps of St. Mary’s Church on Hill-house Avenue.

DeStefano said Salovey’s exposure to the history of New Haven’s relationship with Yale will help him understand how best to continue the partnership.

“He’s seen it from both sides — seen

it in better times and in worse times,” DeStefano said.

Those “better times” for the Univer-sity and its relationship with the city began when Levin introduced a num-ber of Yale-sponsored programs aim-ing to help New Haven. These programs include the New Haven Promise, the Yale Homebuyer Program and the cre-ation of University Properties. The New Haven Promise is a college scholarship for students in the city’s public schools, the Homebuyer’s initiative provides University employees an income benefit if they purchase a home in the Elm City and University Properties has invested millions of dollars in real estate in New Haven. Aldermen and the mayor said they believe Salovey will work to build on the relationship Levin created with New Haven.

“Over the last 20 years Richard Levin has done a lot for the town-gown rela-tionships,” Hausladen said, “I can only imagine that [Salovey] wants to continue that trajectory.”

New Haven Promise Director Patri-cia Melton ’82 said she has no concerns about what will happen to the program during Salovey’s tenure.

“I think he’s an excellent selection,” Melton wrote in an email to the News. “The president-elect will continue to build upon the great work and legacy of President Levin. I am very excited to know we’ll be working with him and I have confidence in his leadership skill.”

Elicker said he would like to see the city’s relationship with Yale progress even further under Salovey. He said the University could partner with New Haven to improve transportation in the city. If the Yale shuttle and CT transit were combined, he explained, greater service could be o!ered to students and residents alike at lower costs. He also said he hopes Yale continues to support eco-nomic development in New Haven.

Ben Crosby ’14, co-chair of Ward 1, said he hopes Salovey will emphasize economic development that is inclusive of New Haven residents. Crosby noted changes on Broadway as an example of development that has benefited Yale students but is not always accessible to other city residents.

“Big, expensive brand-name places are great for students — at least those of us who can a!ord it — to shop at high-end clothing places, but I think that’s an example of a decision that was made that has generated tax revenue for the city but has not benefited New Haven people as much,” Crosby said. “In order for these places to be helpful, they have to actually be hiring from the neighborhood.”

Fellow Ward 1 co-chair Nia Holston ’14 said she hopes Salovey will create mechanisms through which New Haven residents and Yale students can offer input on what they want to see from the University, adding that she wants Salovey to be more of a “visible pres-ence” than Levin was.

“I think Salovey needs to continue building relationships with community organizations and be a visible presence. Levin has done a lot and was very impor-tant to the city, but I’m not so sure if he connected with di!erent people in the community,” Holston said. “I can only think of a few times that I’ve interacted with President Levin, and I didn’t neces-sarily get to engage in conversation with him, and I don’t think that’s conducive to transparency.”

Salovey earned his M.Phil and Ph.D. in psychology from Yale in 1984 and 1986, respectively.

on Oct. 31 that they were ready to make a final decision this past weekend, former Yale Corporation Senior Fel-low Edward Bass ’67 said.

But a series of cancellations and absences suggest the search process’ end came sooner than expected. On Tuesday, Levin canceled a meeting in New York for Thursday afternoon, based on emails obtained by the News. Levin was also scheduled to speak at a Yale Col-lege Council town hall event Thursday evening, but the YCC was not informed the event had to be canceled until immediately after Salovey was named president at a cer-emony Thursday afternoon. Bass said the Corporation made its decision to meet last weekend while he was on a plane to Cuba, so he attended the weekend’s discussions over a conference call from a Cuban hotel room. In addi-tion, Yale College Dean Mary Miller was not in atten-dance at Thursday’s event.

Salovey and other administrators declined to com-ment as to whether he had received an o!er at another university.

When asked why the Corporation decided to make the announcement this week, Bass said the Corporation was “ready.”

English professor Amy Hungerford, a member of the Search Committee, said the scarcity of highly quali-fied candidates for any university presidency caused the committee to speed up its search.

“I think it was clear when we realized how many peer institutions were searching for presidents at the same time that if we really wanted the best chance for the best person, we had to move very fast,” Hungerford said.

Chair of the Presidential Search Committee Charles Goodyear ’80 said the committee had planned to “move in an expedited way” from early in the process. Goodyear added that the committee only took Yale’s best interests into account during the process without considering on external factors such as other searches.

Search Committee member Judith Chevalier ’89, a professor at the School of Management, said the com-mittee did not sacrifice thoroughness in vetting candi-dates. After evaluating potential successors to Levin, she

said, the committee decided Salovey was the best choice for the job and condensed months of work into a nine-week search.

Howard Gardner, an expert in leadership at the Har-vard Graduate School of Education, described the con-text of the search as a “perfect storm” for a quick selec-tion. While it is not unusual for presidential searches to last for over a year, Gardner said selection processes tend to be shorter when the preceding president is considered successful and there is an obvious, qualified successor.

Gardner added that in Levin’s time as president, he was known for his ability to groom future leaders, which he said would make Salovey an attractive candidate for other institutions. During Levin’s tenure, eight top Yale administrators went on to leadership roles at nine dif-ferent institutions — Cambridge, Carnegie Mellon, Col-gate, Duke, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Oxford, Swarthmore, the University of Pennsylvania and Wellesley.

“Of course [Salovey] would be considered because Rick Levin is known worldwide as a person who devel-ops future leaders,” Gardner said. “Any other university would put [Salovey] on their short list.”

Princeton Vice President and Secretary Robert Dur-kee, who will also be staffing his university’s search committee, said Princeton is still in the early stages of its selection process. The committee held its first meet-ing last month and is currently engaging in forums and discussions about the search, with the aim of selecting a candidate to present to the trustees in the spring, Dur-kee said.

Members of Dartmouth’s presidential search com-mittee could not be reached Thursday evening.

The Yale Corporation announced Salovey’s appoint-ment at 2:30 p.m. Thursday in the Hall of Graduate Studies.

“[Salovey] is somebody who has made a real di!erence in the world of ideas,” said Howard Gardner, an expert on leadership at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. “Among great universities and colleges, we like people who not only can administer well, but who are respected intellectually because they have made a real contribu-tion.”

Since becoming provost, Salovey has continued to guest lecture for “Introduction to Psychology” classes and has co-taught the experimental residential college seminar “Great Big Ideas.”

As Yale College dean, Salovey led the implementation of several large reforms that emerged from the recom-mendations of the Committee on Yale College Education, which reviewed the state of undergraduate education at Yale in the early 2000s. But faculty and alumni said they remember his tenure for his focus on students rather than for his policy initiatives.

Salovey conducted the Yale Precision Marching Band at major athletic competitions — a tradition current Yale College Dean Mary Miller has continued. Salovey told the News in 2011 that he believed his conducting brought luck to athletes.

“I said, ‘I’m going to do something to change our luck,’” Salovey recalled. “‘I’m going to go over to the band and ask them if they’ll let me conduct.’”

Salovey’s interest in music extends beyond the football field: Students know him as an aficionado of bluegrass music, which he discovered while an undergraduate at Stanford University in the 1970s, and as a founding mem-ber of the band the Professors of Bluegrass. Formed in the early 1990s by Salovey and psychology professor Kelly Brownell, the band has played at many venues, includ-ing Toad’s Place, and performed at Levin’s inauguration

in 1993, Brownell said. Band member and banjo player Oscar Hills, a psychi-

atry professor, said the group no longer practices regu-larly on Sunday afternoons in the basement of Salovey’s home, but the five core members and various veterans of the group still get together as often as they can, adding that the band has taken several road trips during which they would “camp out in a couple of motel rooms.”

“He always pokes fun at his terrible singing, which of course isn’t really terrible at all,” Hills said.

While Salovey prepares to assume the position of Uni-versity president in June, one final question looms on his colleagues’ minds: will the mustache he shaved o! in 2009 make a return?

Though he said he will not make any promises about the walrus-like mustache that graced his chin for 33 years before its demise, Salovey added that he once told Chief Investment O"cer David Swenson that he might con-sider regrowing the mustache “when the endowment gets back to its high-water mark.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS

DOHA, Qatar — Syrian oppo-sition leaders say they have made progress toward forging a broad-based leadership group sought by the international community.

Riad Seif, the author of the proposal, says the main oppo-sition bloc, the Syrian National Council, deferred a decision until after a final round of inter-nal elections Friday. Seif says some of the SNC members present during day-long talks Thursday signaled they accept the idea of setting up a new 60-member leadership group.

The leadership group is to serve as a conduit for foreign support for those trying to oust President Bashar Assad.

The SNC is hesitant because it would receive only 22 seats to make room for activists inside Syria. Seif says the SNC will make a final decision Friday afternoon, after picking a new chief and executive committee.

The bravado sounded famil-iar. Like the leaders of other countries swept away by Arab Spring uprisings, Syrian Pres-ident Bashar Assad vowed to

never be forced into exile and to die in his homeland.

Assad dug in his heels even as world powers move to boost the opposition in Syria’s civil war — the latest turn in a nearly 20-month-old crisis so over-whelming that even the Red Cross says it can no longer cope.

“I am not a puppet, I was not made by the West for me to go to the West or any other coun-try,” Assad said in an interview with Russia Today, which posted excerpts Thursday on its web-site. “I am Syrian, I am made in Syria, and I will live and die in Syria.”

The rare interview — in which the 47-year-old president spoke in English with his words trans-lated into Arabic — was posted online two days after British

Prime Minister David Cameron suggested that Assad could be allowed safe passage out of Syria if that would guarantee an end to the civil war.

The full interview will be broadcast Friday, the TV sta-tion said. It was not clear when or where it took place. Assad was seen in a gray suit and tie, casually talking and also walk-ing with RT’s reporter outside a house.

Assad has made only a few appearances public since the revolt began in March 2011. Last month, state TV showed him praying on the floor of a Damas-cus mosque for the Muslim holi-day of Eid al-Adha.

As the two sides battle for the upper hand, civilians are bearing the brunt of the crisis.

Peter Maurer, the head of the Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross, said the civil war has been in a downward spiral for months.

“We can’t cope with the worsening of the situation,” Maurer said. “The seriousness of the crisis is deepening with every day and this trend has been uninterrupted since sum-mer.”

The Red Cross has improved its transportation and logis-tics, making it easier to bring in truckloads of food and med-icine, but it has become over-whelmed by the dire need of hundreds of thousands of people struggling inside Syria, he said.

The daily death toll in the civil war has been averaging 100 or more recently, according to activists’ accounts. The fight-ing pits rebels and troops, and the violence includes artillery shelling and regime airstrikes on rebel-held areas.

Assad’s defiant vow to “live and die” in Syria echoed statements by Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Moammar Gadhafi of Libya — two Arab dictators who said they would never leave their homelands before popular revolts swept them from power.

WASHINGTON — Big changes are coming to President Barack Obama’s administration — just not right away.

The White House is making the nation’s high-stakes fiscal crisis its top priority coming out of the election, underscoring the vital importance of averting severe year-end tax increases and spending cuts, not just for the econ-omy but in setting the tone for Obama’s second term.

Still, Obama is weighing replacements for high-profile o!cials expected to leave his Cabinet and the White House soon. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton both want to step down but have indicated a willingness to push their departures into next year, or at least until successors are confirmed. Defense Sec-retary Leon Panetta also wants to retire next year.

“The first thing is to try to find a way out of the box we’re in with regards to the fiscal cli",” said Tom Daschle, the former Senate majority leader who is close to Obama. “When the new Congress con-venes they’ll begin the nominating pro-cess for what I expect will be a good num-ber of vacancies.”

Obama privately delved into both issues Thursday, his first full day back in Washington following his re-election on Tuesday. The president and his team were also assessing how congressional Repub-licans were positioning themselves fol-lowing the election before saying much publicly about his second term.

The president will make his first com-ments on the economy and the fiscal cli" Friday at the White House.

In his victory speech Tuesday night, Obama o"ered a call for reconciliation after a divisive campaign. But he made clear he had an agenda in mind, cit-ing a need for changes in the tax code, as well as immigration reform and climate change.

Obama aides want to avoid what they believe was an overreach by President George W. Bush, who declared after nar-rowly winning re-election that he had “political capital” and intended to spend it. One of Bush’s first moves was to push to privatize Social Security, a plan that was roundly rejected by Congress and the public.

The White House believes Obama has a clear mandate on one key issue: rais-ing taxes on families making more than $250,000 a year. Obama senior adviser David Plou"e said voters “clearly chose the president’s view of making sure the wealthiest Americans are asked to do a little bit more” to help shrink the federal deficit.

The president has long advocated allowing tax cuts first passed by Bush to

expire for upper income earners. But he gave in to Republican demands in 2010 and allowed the cuts to continue, anger-ing many Democrats.

Both parties agree that the combina-tion of tax increases and spending cuts set to hit on Jan. 1 could plunge the econ-omy back into recession.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday that he wanted to compromise with the re-elected pres-ident. And he said the House would be willing to accept higher tax revenue under the right conditions as part of a more sweeping attempt to reduce deficits.

The White House wants consistency in its “fiscal cli"” negotiating team, mean-ing Geithner is likely to put o" his depar-ture from Treasury until Obama and law-makers can reach some agreement.

Obama’s administration to changeBY FRANK ELTMAN AND TOM HAYS

ASSOCIATED PRESS

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Vin-cent Pina finally saw a couple of utility trucks coming down his street Thursday and started to wave in anticipation. But they just cruised past his house and kept on going.

He hung his head in resigna-tion.

“The thing that gets me the most is that there is no flood dam-age. I don’t have any branches down. I have no wires down,” said the Long Islander, who put a hand-painted sign out front that read: “Still No Power.”

So why, he wondered, was it taking so long to get electricity?

A week and a half after Super-storm Sandy slammed the coast and inflicted tens of billions of dollars in damage, hundreds of thousands of customers in New York and New Jersey are still wait-ing for the electricity to come back on, and lots of cold and tired peo-ple are losing patience. Some are demanding investigations of util-ities they say aren’t working fast enough.

An angry New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo joined the calls for an investigation Thursday, ripping the utilities as unprepared and badly managed.

“Privately I have used language my daughters couldn’t hear,” he fumed. He added: “It’s unaccept-able the longer it goes on because the longer it goes on, people’s suf-fering is worse.”

The power companies have said they are dealing with dam-age unprecedented in its scope

and doing the best they can. And there is no denying the magni-tude of what they have done: At the peak, more than 8.5 million homes and businesses across 21 states lost power. As of Thursday, that was down to about 750,000, almost entirely in New York and New Jersey.

And that’s after a nor’easter overnight knocked out power to more than 200,000 customers in New York and New Jersey, erasing some of the progress made by util-ity crews.

“We lost power last week, just got it back for a day or two, and now we lost it again,” said John Monticello of Point Pleas-ant Beach, N.J. “Every day it’s the same now: Turn on the gas burner for heat. Instant co"ee. Use the iPad to find out what’s going on in the rest of the world.”

The mounting criticism came as New York City and Long Island followed New Jersey’s lead and announced odd-even gasoline rationing to deal with fuel short-ages and long lines at gas stations; the Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency started bringing mobile homes into the region; and Cuomo said the storm could cost New York State alone $33 billion.

New Jersey did not have a dam-age estimate of its own, but oth-ers have put Sandy’s overall toll at up to $50 billion, making it the second most expensive storm in U.S. history, behind Hurricane Katrina, which swamped New Orleans in 2005.

Sandy killed more than 100 people in 10 states, with most of the dead in New York and New Jersey.

SPORTS USC student manager accused of deflating footballs before gameThe University of Southern California fired a student manager on Wednesday after it was discovered that the student had purposefully deflated five footballs that were to be used in USC’s matchup last Saturday against the Oregon Ducks. Most of the non-regulation balls were discovered by o!cials before the game. Under-inflated footballs tend to travel more slowly and may be easier for receivers to catch.

“[Last week] was just one of those things where he wasn’t going to do any more damage so the medical sta" cleared him.”

Quarterback Derek Russell ’13 was also cleared to play last week with a sprained throwing arm, but dealt with pain during warm-ups, according to Reno.

The Elis will be facing Prince-ton tomorrow — a team that has the luxury of not one, but two quarterbacks at its disposal. The sophomore tandem of Connor Michelsen and Quinn Epperly have combined for 1,821 passing yards and 11 touchdowns.

Michelsen has thrown 82 per-cent of the Tigers’ pass attempts

this season while Epperly adds a running dimension to the Princ-eton o"ense. Epperly has dashed for 226 yards and four scores this season. Reno stated that both Tiger quarterbacks can manage the o"ense.

“Princeton’s a hard team to prepare for because they do so many di"erent things on o"ense,” Reno said. “They have two good quarterbacks. Both can run the o"ense and not much changes.”

To compete with Princeton’s quarterback duo, the Elis will have to continue their success running the football. The Elis have rushed for more than 200 yards for three straight weeks and currently average 195.2 yards per game on the season.

Gaining 200 yards on the ground will be tougher this week, as the Elis face a Tiger defense that is third in the Ancient Eight against the run. Princeton’s run defense is led by defensive line-man Mike Catapano, who cur-rently has 11.5 tackles for loss this year. Center John Oppenheimer ’13 stated that Yale’s offensive line is looking forward to the challenge.

“As an offense that prides itself on running the ball no mat-ter who we’re against, we’re really looking forward to this week,” Oppenheimer said. “We just need to go in with the mindset that it doesn’t matter who we’re play-ing, if we give everything we’ve got, we can run the ball on any-

body.”For Oppenheimer and 22 other

seniors, tomorrow afternoon will be their final time playing at the Yale Bowl. The Class of 2013 is currently 8–11 at home over their career.

Defensive back Collin Bibb ’13 said that he is trying not to con-centrate on his final game at Yale.

“It’s kind of weird of weird to think about,” Bibb said. “You try not to. The Yale Bowl is obviously a special place and I’m sure it’ll be a little bit emotional. Just try-ing to end it the right way.”

Kicko" is at noon.

REST THE QUARTERBACK:Due to the fast pace of col-

lege football, it seems like a team cannot win without a quarterback who can lead them down the field. Yale’s best chance at a victory this weekend, however, might come from sitting its signal callers on the bench. With shoulder injuries to quarter-backs Eric Williams ’16 and Derek Russell ’13, and Logan Scott ’16 out with a broken hand, none of the quarter-backs for the Elis are at full strength. Head coach Tony Reno admitted after last Sat-urday’s 20–0 loss at Brown that Williams was “under 50 percent” when he was in the game. Williams was in obvi-ous pain and had trouble with his accuracy due to his injury, turning the ball over twice when his passes were inter-cepted. Instead of trying to resuscitate the passing game prematurely, Yale would be better suited to commit more fully to a rushing attack that ranks second in the Ivy League with 195.2 yards per game.

WATCH WILSON:Ask any defensive back:

nothing is more embarrassing to them than getting burned by a wide receiver for a big play. No Princeton player has more ability to burn Yale’s secondary than junior wide receiver Roman Wilson. The Broken Arrow, Okla. native leads the Tiger receiving corps with 32 catches, 608 yards and five touchdowns. Wilson’s longest play of the year is a 72-yard reception — a strong indicator of how

he can stretch the field ver-tically. He has also shown that he can make plays with his feet this season, rush-ing for 116 yards on 13 carries and another score. If defen-sive backs Collin Bibb ’13 and Kurt Stottlemyer ’13 can lead Yale’s secondary in contain-ing Wilson, they will take Princeton’s best deep threat and scoring option off the table.

MOVE THE CHAINS:Yale rushed for 201 yards

last week, but not one of those yards got Yale past the first down marker when the Elis needed to stay on the field. Yale got 11 first downs, but finished the day 0–10 on third down conversions and 0–2 on fourth down. Reno said that one reason for the Elis’ struggles was that the team created too many third-and-long situations for itself with penalties and other mis-haps. He added that the per-centage of third and fourth down conversions con-verted should come up if the Elis set up shorter yardage situations. Yale might also have been hurt by the lack of a quarterback, as Brown defensive back AJ Cruz said last week that the Bears’ defense felt more comfort-able committing to the run. Whatever the reason, failure to convert was what kept the Bulldogs o" the scoreboard at Brown last week. It could also keep the Elis out of the win column tomorrow if they do not bring that conversion rate back up.

Keys to the game

Tyler Varga ’15 will continue to take snaps in an option o!ense against Princeton this Saturday.

speed.“We have been focused on all

aspects of our game and exe-cuting at high speed,” Allain said. “We are able to compete on the weekends with a relentless aggressive style of play.”

The Bulldogs’ explosive play brought bursts of scoring in their first two games. In last weekend’s matchup against Dartmouth, right wing Antoine Laganiere ’13 blasted two past the Big Green in the second period, just nine minutes apart. Against Prince-ton, the Bulldogs scored first and added another pair of goals in the second period, just two minutes apart.

The Elis will have to play aggressively to battle Dart-mouth’s gritty o"ense.

“Dartmouth looks to beat you with an aggressive forecheck-ing system and strong net front play,” Allain said. “Their forwards and goaltender look to be a real strength for them.”

Finding a balance between aggressive play and penalties

is important as well for the Bull-dogs this weekend. Aside from a 15 minute boarding and game misconduct penalty, the Bulldogs have only accumulated 12 penalty minutes — the same amount as the Crimson, while the Big Green has put up 16.

The Bulldogs have scored a total of five goals in two games while the Crimson have scored five in a single game and the Big Green has put away six goals in two games.

“Harvard has a very good power play,” Allain said. “They have a number of players capable of beating you one-on-one.”

Freshman forward Jimmy Vesey leads the attack for the Crimson with two goals and an assist in his first game. For the Big Green, junior forward Eric Rob-inson leads the attack with two goals in his first two games this season. The Bulldogs have two players that have registered three points in their first pair of games.

Laganiere has put up three goals and forward Clinton Bourbonais ’14 has contributed three assists.

On the power play and pen-alty kill, the Bulldogs will have to work as a team. The Elis have gone one for eight on power play opportunities compared to the Crimson’s one for two and the Big Green’s three for nine. On the penalty kill, the Bulldogs will also have to outwork the competition.

While still a high success rate, the Elis’ penalty kill percentage of 0.75 is not the same as the Crim-son and Big Green’s perfect pen-alty killing percentage.

“We are focused on being bet-ter in our team game, pushing the tempo and applying pressure on our opponents,” Allain said.

Yale has beaten Harvard in five of the last seven contests and Dartmouth in 10 of the last 11.

The Elis will take on the Big Green tonight at 7 p.m.

by a desire to send o" the senior class with a solid record, although they have already been eliminated from Ivy League Championship contention.

“We’ve definitely been playing for them, and we’ll especially play for them this Satur-day,” Alers said.

In order to continue the streak, the Bull-dogs will have to compete with a Princeton squad coming o" its widest conference vic-tory of the season, a 3–0 drubbing of Penn last Saturday.

The Tigers utilize a style of play unique to the Ivy League, Alers said. Small, nimble players comprise much of the team, leading it to focus on retaining possession, passing and keeping the ball on the ground. Thalman said that while the Bulldogs will not have to face forward Antoine Hoppenot, Princeton’s

former premier playmaker who joined the MLS after last year’s season, the Elis will still have to contend with a dangerous o"ense and strong backline.

Thalman also pointed to last year’s con-test between the teams and the Bulldogs’ last two matches as warnings for this Saturday’s match. While Yale won last year’s contest 2–1, the Elis went down a goal in the seventh min-ute.

“We’ve made it harder on ourselves hav-ing to come back from a 1–0 deficit early on in the game,” Thalman said. “With all the emo-tions tied up in this game, we should be able to come out strong.”

While the Bulldogs must be wary of an early strike, Alers said that the team has become more sure of its identity as the season comes to a close. After opening its Ivy slate with a tie and two defeats, the Bulldogs have recorded a victory and two ties over its last three confer-ence games, including a draw against No. 11 Brown last weekend.

The team is unsure about whether Hack-barth will be able to play against Princeton due to an injury su"ered last week.

The game will kick o" on Saturday at 3 p.m. at Reese Stadium.

the leading returning scorer for the Bulldogs. He finished fifth nationally last year with a .900 free-throw shooting percentage and fifth in the Ivy League with a .386 three-point percentage. Although Jones said that Mor-gan is the only player he has so far decided will start come tipo! tomorrow, point guard Mike Grace ’13 also started last season. Jones said he expects Morgan, Grace and Yale’s other perim-eter players to get many more open shots this year.

“Greg [Mangano] didn’t really help our offense on the perimeter that much,” Jones said. “Because once Greg got the ball he shot it.”

Yale’s balanced o!ense will be challenged early on by a rigorous non-conference sched-ule. After Hartford, Yale will play at St. Joseph’s from the Atlantic-10 in the Coaches vs. Can-cer Classic, and over winter break, the Bull-dogs will take a trip to the West Coast to play Nevada from the Mountain West, St. Mary’s College from the West Coast and Iowa State from the Big 12.

Guard and captain Sam Martin ’13 said that playing against high-profile competition is thrilling for him and other players on the team.

“That’s why you play,” Martin said. “We want to play all the best teams in the country.”

Martin and Jones also said that playing against these teams will help Yale identify its strengths and weaknesses on the court before Ivy League play begins in January.

One of Yale’s opponents this year was ranked in the national preseason polls. No. 10 Florida will visit the Lee Amphitheater Jan. 6. Coach Jones said he was disappointed that the game will take place when Yale is still on winter break. He added that the game was originally scheduled for November but was moved when the Gators asked to reschedule.

Once the Bulldogs survive their non-con-ference tests, they will begin the two-month-long Ivy League season. Although Yale was picked sixth in the ivyleaguesports.com pre-season media poll, Martin stated that he believes the Elis are underrated.

“The league is wide open,” Martin said. “I think we’re going to surprise some people.”

Yale finished fourth in the Ivy League with a 9–5 record and a 19–10 record overall last season. Tipo! tomorrow is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. in West Hartford, Conn.

1 Princeton

2011-’12 Record: 20–12, 10–4 Ivy, Ivy 3rd

Picked to win the Ivy League in a preseason Ivy League sportswriters poll, this Tigers squad will look to a strong upperclass-man leadership to improve on last year’s third place finish. The team is undoubtedly anchored by 6’7” senior forward Ian Hum-mer, an All-Ivy first team selection last

year who led his team in points per game, rebounds per game and blocks — and was second in assists. Other returning start-ers figure to include senior center Brendan Connelly, who started the last 16 games of last season, and junior guard T.J. Bray, who started all but one game last year. Mitch Henderson, a former Tiger player, enters his second season as the team’s head coach after guiding the team to 20 wins last year. Princeton will begin its season on Nov. 10 at Bu!alo.

2 Harvard

2011-’12 Record: 26–5, 12–2 Ivy, 1st Ivy

Harvard’s season took a major hit months before the season even began as co-cap-tains forward Kyle Casey and guard Bran-dyn Curry apparently withdrew from the university after being implicated in Sep-tember’s cheating scandal. Casey, who was an All-Ivy first team selection last year, and

Curry, a second team honoree, figured to lead the Crimson to its second straight NCAA tournament appearance before the scan-dal hit. Still, Coach Tommy Amaker will look to capitalize on the team’s success last year, when it qualified for the tournament for the first time in 66 years. The squad’s newly named co-captains, senior guard Christian Webster and junior guard Laurent Rivard, are players to watch in the upcoming year. The team begins its season on Friday at home against MIT.

3 Cornell

2011-’12 Record: 12–16, 7–7 Ivy, Ivy 5th

After finishing fifth in the Ivy League last year, the Big Red will look to its youth to build upon the solid 2011-’12 season. The squad will look to do so behind the play of sophomore forward Shonn Miller, who was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year last season and is the team’s top returning

scorer, and sophomore guard Galal Cancer, its third-best return-ing scorer. The team will also rely on leadership from senior guard Johnathan Gray, an All-Ivy League Honorable Mention last year. One of Cornell’s major focuses appears to be on winning games on the road: the Big Red went 10–3 at home this season while dropping 13 of 15 on the road, including five of seven in Ivy League play. Cornell will take on Western Michigan University at home on Saturday in its season-opener.

4 Columbia

2011-’12 Record: 15–15, 4–10 Ivy, 6th Ivy

In his two seasons since being named head coach in 2012, Columbia’s Kyle Smith has guided the Lions to consecutive 15 win-ning seasons, the most wins by a Columbia coach in his first two seasons since 1952. He projects to build upon that strong start this season behind the play of senior guard

Brian Barbour. The 6’1” guard was named to the All-Ivy First Team after his season last year in which he posted averages of 15.5 points and 4.4 assists per game. Senior big men Mark Cisco and John Daniels also figure to start this year after beginning 29 and 21 games, respectively, on the court last year. The Lions start their season on Saturday at Furman.

5 Penn

2011-’12 Record: 20–13, 11–3 Ivy, 2nd Ivy

After dropping a chance at last season’s Ivy League crown on the final day of the season, the Penn squad figure to stum-ble this year upon losing the conference’s top player to graduation. Zack Rosen was unanimously named last year’s Ivy League player of the year; Indeed, he was an hon-

orable mention AP All-American. The Quakers also lost their other All-Ivy selection, honorable mention Rob Belcore, and their second leading scoring, Tyler Bernardini, to graduation. Much of the burden, then, features to fall on junior guard Miles Cartwright, who was Penn’s third leading scorer last season. In fact, the team will generally rely on youth — the squad features no seniors. The Quakers host UMBC on Friday to begin the season.

6 Yale

2011-’12 Record: 19–10, 9–5 Ivy, 4th Ivy

The Bulldogs will rely this year on guard Austin Morgan ’13, who was third on the team last year with 11.8 points per game and is one of three returning Yale starters. Head coach James Jones will have to retool his o!ense after losing his two top scorers, cen-ter Greg Mangano ’12 and forward Reggie Willhite ’12, who took nearly half of the team’s shots last year, to graduation. Forward Jeremiah Kreisberg ’14, who averaged 7.7 points per game last year, as well as Brandon Sherrod ’15 and Matt Townsend ’15 are expected to pick up the majority of minutes in the low post.

7 Brown

2011-’12 Record: 8–23, 2–12 Ivy, 7th Ivy

Brown has not had a winning record in the Ivy League since 2008, and Ivy sports-writers project more of the same for the Bears this season. Still, the team certainly has some glimmers of hope for the future. Junior guard Sean McGonagill, the team’s leading scorer last year, returns to the floor

after being named a member of the All-Ivy second team last year, and senior guard Stephen Albrecht, the team’s second leading scorer last season, will also return. Brown may be most notable for its lack of size: The team’s tallest player is sophomore cen-ter Rafael Maia, a Brazilian big man who missed last season with an ACL injury. The Bears start their season on Sunday at Bing-hamton.

8 Dartmouth

2011-’12 Record: 5–25, 1–13 Ivy, 8th Ivy

The Big Green would like to forget their last three seasons: They have won a single con-ference game each year over beginning with the 2009-’12 campaign. Last year, Dartmouth was the only Ivy squad that did not feature an All-Ivy selection. The team won just one Ivy League contest last year,

a five-point victory over Brown at home. Second-year coach Paul Cormier appears to be trying to restart the program, as the squad features only two upperclassmen. There may be certain glimmers of hope for Dartmouth as the team returns its top two scorers from last year, sophomore forwards Jvonte Brooks and Gabas Maldunas. Might the Big Green entertain the lofty notion of multiple conference wins? Find out as the squad kicks o! its campaign on Saturday by hosting Maine.

Just one weekend stands between the Bulldogs and per-fection.

After clinching the confer-ence title last weekend, Yale (16–5, 12–0 Ivy) will attempt to become just the second team ever to go 14–0 in Ivy League play this weekend when Harvard (9–15, 6–6 Ivy) and Dartmouth (2–20, 1–11 Ivy) come to New Haven. The first team to accomplish the feat was the 2007 Princeton Tigers, who beat out second-place Yale for the conference title that season.

“It would be cool to have that to say in addition to what we have already accomplished,” captain and middle blocker Haley Wes-sels ’13 said. “But I don’t want to make it something that we’re pressured to do. Still, I think it’s nice to be able to finish the season with goals.”

The Bulldogs would become the 15th team to finish the Ivy League regular season unde-feated since volleyball was added to the conference in 1977. But in each season prior to 1994 at least one member school fielded a club, rather than a varsity team, and the League only expanded to its current 14-match schedule in 2001.

Adding to the festivities this weekend will be Yale’s senior night. The Bulldogs will honor Wessels, the team’s only senior

and current captain, prior to Saturday’s match against Dart-mouth. Wessels has won three Ivy League championships with the Elis and was a second-team All-Ivy selection in 2010.

“She’s such an amazing person to play with, both on and o! the court,” outside hitter Mollie Rog-ers ’15 said. “She’s done a great job as a captain, not only with the logistical stu! but also as a leader and someone the team can respect. She’s done so much for the program and I’m really hon-ored that I’ve been able to play with her.”

The Bulldogs will open this weekend’s action on Friday night against Harvard, a team they have not lost to since at least 2006. Going back to 2007, Yale has beaten the Cantabs 11 straight times and has won 33 out of the 38 sets the two sides have played during that span.

Yale swept Harvard on the road earlier this season behind a mas-terful performance from setter Kelly Johnson ’16. In that match, Johnson had 13 kills and a .722 hitting percentage to go along with 20 assists.

But the most impressive per-formance of the day came from the Yale defense, which shut down Harvard’s star outside hit-ter Taylor Docter. Docter, who is currently third in the conference with 3.18 kills per set, recorded just three kills in the entire match on 28 attempts.

For its own o!ense, Yale will

likely look to Rogers, who is com-ing off a monster weekend and the first Ivy League Player of the Week award of her career. Rogers ranks just behind Docter at fourth in the Ivies at 3.01 kills per set and is second among the Bulldogs in digs. Last weekend, she hit 16 kills against Penn on Friday and 15 against Princeton on Saturday to lead the Bulldogs to a pair of vic-tories.

“Before the weekend, coach told me to just go for it offen-sively,” Rogers said. “I had the mindset that if I make an error or two, that’s okay. I just kept swinging away and I think that’s why it clicked.”

After Harvard, the Bulldogs will take on Dartmouth on Sat-urday. In last year’s regular sea-son finale, the Big Green shocked Yale with a 3–2 win the night after the Bulldogs clinched the Ivy title against Harvard. That contest was Dartmouth’s final home match of the year and then-senior Madeline Baird exploded for 17 kills against the Elis.

But the Big Green has strug-gled without Baird this season. Dartmouth is in the midst of a 12-match losing streak, a slide dating back to Sep. 21.

The action tips o! Friday night at 7 p.m. against Harvard and concludes Saturday at 5 p.m. against Dartmouth.

Yale trailed Columbia 57–58 with seven seconds left when guard Reggie Willhite ’12 drove to the basket for the game-win-ning layup to silence the crowd at Levien Gym last February. With Willhite and first-team All-Ivy center Greg Mangano ’12 now graduated, the Bulldogs will have to look to others to step up as the 2012–’13 season gets underway.

Yale will begin its 31-game schedule tomorrow at Hartford University in the Connecticut Six Classic. Head coach James Jones said that the team is not concerned about the void left by Mangano and Willhite.

“I don’t think any kid on our team right now is thinking about the guys that were on the team last year and what they did,” Jones said. “Everybody is think-ing about how this team and this group of guys can come together and play.”

Last year Mangano and Will-hite took 45 percent of Yale’s shots, but other players still found time to show flashes of brilliance in the clutch. Guard Jesse Pritchard ’14 drained a three to bring the Elis within one and set up Willhite’s heroics at Columbia. When Yale played Cornell at home last season, forward Greg Kelley ’14 coolly watched a few seconds tick off the clock before calmly knocking down a three as the final buzzer sounded on Yale’s 71–40 victory. Guard Austin Morgan ’13 said that Yale will have to rely on each team member this year in order to succeed.

“We’ve been stressing depth and ball sharing,” Morgan said.

It has been almost 139 years since Yale and Princeton first faced o! on the gridiron. Both the game and the two universities have changed, but the two colleges will meet again tomorrow in the oldest rivalry in the Ivy League.

The Elis (2–6, 1–4 Ivy) will host Princeton (4–4, 3–2 Ivy) on Saturday for the 135th meeting between the two rivals. With such innovations as hel-mets, oval-shaped balls and the line of scrimmage, tomorrow’s game will look little like the Tigers’ 3–0 victory on

Nov. 15, 1873. Another important rule change since

that time is the introduction of the for-ward pass after the 1905 season. But with the injuries to Yale’s quarterbacks, it remains to be seen how often the Blue will take to the air. Head coach Tony Reno said that he was unsure whether he would have a healthy quarterback

this week. He added that although quarterback Eric Williams ’16 was cleared to play last week with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, the freshman signal caller is far from full strength.

“[Eric]’s banged up,” Reno said.

After a season of ups and downs, the men’s soccer team will say goodbye to four seniors on Saturday as the squad con-cludes its season at home against Princeton.

When the Bulldogs (4–7–5, 1–2–3 Ivy) take the field at Reese Stadium to face the Tigers (3–1–2, 7–6–2 Ivy), it will be the last time that defender Andy Hack-barth ’13, midfielder Frank Shaw ’13, defender Milan Tica ’13 and captain and goalkeeper Bobby Thalman ’13 do so as members of the Yale squad.

“It’s definitely a game that has a little bit more weight than those

in the past just due to the nature of it for our seniors,” Thalman said. “We’ve got a great group of guys, it’s a very close knit team, so everyone’s going to be out there playing for each other.”

All four seniors significantly contributed to the men’s soc-cer program and brought di!er-ent strengths to the team over the course of their Yale careers, defender Nick Alers ’13 said. He described Thalman as a leader and one of the best goalkeepers in the country, Tica as complet-ing his best season, Shaw as an unsung hero and Hackbarth as one of the squad’s hardest work-ers.

Alers added that the team’s current three-game lossless streak has been in part motivated

After taking home a win and a tie in last weekend’s Ivy League Showcase tournament, the Bull-dogs are looking to top their sea-son opening performance and take two wins this weekend.

Yale (1–0–1) is going on a road trip to take on Dartmouth (1–0–1) and Harvard (1–0–0) on Fri-day and Saturday night to open ECAC conference play. Head coach Keith Allain said physi-cal play from the Big Green and individually skilled players from the Crimson will pose a chal-lenge for the Elis. To top their two Ivy League opponents this weekend, the Bulldogs will have to compete and play at a high
