tickets tomorrow
Tickets for this year’s
Spring Weekend concerts
featuring Snoop Dogg and
MGMT will be available
Wednesday morning at 8
a.m. on Brown Student
Agency’s online store at
http://bsa.brown.edu, ac-
cording to Abigail Schreiber
’11, Brown Concert Agen-
cy’s hospitality chair.
Tickets will cost $18 for
each concert for Brown and
Rhode Island School of De-
sign students, who will be al-
lowed to purchase up to two
tickets per show. BSA will
sell 3,000 tickets for each
concert on Wednesday.
Currently, BSA can only
sell tickets up to the capac-
ity of Meehan Auditorium.
Weather permitting, both
concerts will be held on the
Main Green, and BSA will
sell 1,500 more tickets on
April 22, the Thursday be-
fore the concerts.
Schreiber said she does
not expect students to en-
counter any problems on
BSA’s Web site when pur-
chasing tickets, despite the
expected high traffic.
Unlike last year, reduced-
price packages will not
be available. According to
Schreiber this is partly to
allow for a portion of tick-
ets to be offered at reduced
prices for students who
qualify for financial aid.

Senate panel endorses pot decriminalization
By Mark Raymond
Staff Writer
A commission studying marijuana
policy in Rhode Island recommended
last week that the state legislature de-
criminalize possession of marijuana
in small amounts.
The Special Senate Commission
to Study the Prohibition of Marijuana,
which was composed of experts in
relevant fields — including Professor
of Economics Glenn Loury — re-
leased its final report, which outlined
various benefits of decriminalization
for the state, earlier this month. The
commission found that decriminaliza-
tion of under an ounce of marijuana
would create “significant” savings for
the state through lower administra-
tive costs and fewer arrests for minor
cases of possession.
The report states savings would

accrue to agencies such as the Rhode

and the Office of the Public Defender.
A report published by OpenDoors, a
Rhode Island organization that works
on behalf of released convicts, esti-
mates the change will create $12.7
million in savings for the state.
But others have projected more

modest savings. Rep. John G. Ed-
wards, D-Tiverton and Portsmouth,
told The Herald last month that he
believed decriminalization would
save the state between $250,000 and
$2 million annually.
“It would make what is already
close to true de facto,” said commis-
sion member Jeffrey Miron, a senior
lecturer in economics at Harvard and
the director of undergraduate studies.
Volpatti ’10 signed by
Vancouver Canucks
By Dan Alexander
Sports Editor
The NHL’s Vancouver Canucks
signed tri-captain Aaron Volpatti ’10
to a two-year, $400,000 contract with
a $200,000 signing bonus Monday,
fulfilling Volpatti’s lifelong dream
of playing for the team he rooted
for as a child.
“It’s kind of surreal still,” Volpatti
said. “It will probably sink in tomor-
row when I fly out to Vancouver and
meet everyone and Wednesday night
when I’m watching the game with all
of the general managers.”
Volpatti will begin his career with
the Manitoba Moose, an American
Hockey League team affiliated with
the Canucks. His season salary with

Miron, a supporter of not only
decriminalization but full legalization
of marijuana, said, “Painting this as
a panacea for state budgets is a fairy
tale.” But, he added, “the burden of
proof should be on the government
when the government wants to in-
fringe on what people can do.”
Col. Joseph Moran, Central
Falls chief of police and president
of the Rhode Island Police Chiefs’
Association, also said the current
system does not result in as many
marijuana-related incarcerations as
some may think. Moran said he op-
poses decriminalizing marijuana.

will increase to $500,000 if he gets
called up to the NHL. He will receive
half of the $200,000 signing bonus
this year and half of it next season.
Volpatti — who finished his
senior season Saturday — led the
Bears with 17 goals this year, includ-
ing a team-high six power-play and
three game-winning goals. He also
set the Brown record for penalty
minutes in a season, reaching 115
minutes on a game misconduct

U. announces
60 staff layoffs
By Alex Bell
Senior Staff Writer
The University will lay off approxi-
mately 60 staff members in June, ad-
ministrators announced to employees
via e-mail message Monday morning.
This figure does not include the 139
staff members who have opted for vol-
untary early retirement packages.
Executive Vice President for Fi-
nance and Administration Beppie
Huidekoper said in an interview with
The Herald shortly after the e-mail
was sent out that the elimination of
these currently filled positions was
based on the February report from
the Organizational Review Com-
mittee. The committee was tasked
with finding $14 million of savings
in Brown’s budget for the 2010–11
fiscal year.
“As we have stressed throughout
this process, in addition to improv-
ing efficiencies while protecting our
academic programs and student life
experiences, the plans are focused
on limiting the number of layoffs
that will become effective on July 1,
2010 and providing support for those
whose jobs are being eliminated,”
Provost David Kertzer ’69 P’95 P’98
and Huidekoper wrote in their e-mail
to employees.
According to the e-mail, these
employees’ severance packages will
provide four weeks of compensation
for every year worked at Brown, up
to 40 weeks. The packages will also
provide health coverage during the
severance period.
The message emphasized ser-
vices the University will provide to
the employees whose positions are
being eliminated, including training
programs, career counseling, finan-
cial planning, outplacement support
and “placement wherever possible in
alternative positions at Brown.”
Though the review committee re-
port recommended the elimination
of certain positions, the University
will also create some new jobs and
merge other existing positions. Some
positions vacated by retirees will be
refilled. Huidekoper said the train-
ing programs would not be geared
toward obtaining other jobs at Brown,
but the skills employees could learn
through them would be helpful to
finding future employment. She said
she cannot be certain yet how many
of the 60 terminated employees will
seek or obtain alternative positions
at Brown.
“We want to make sure the individ-
uals are fully supported,” Huidekoper
told The Herald.

terminated employees were offered

F eature “You learn if you’re a fighter or not.”

— Jurica Bulovic ’13, member of the table tennis team

From abroad to Andrews, table tennis shows off skills

By Brielle Friedman
Contributing Writer
As students filter into the Rockefeller
Library on a Sunday night and pre-
pare to start the work they’ve put off
all weekend, a group of dedicated
team members convene on the other
side of campus. The team sets up
equipment, transforming the dimly
lit Andrews Dining Hall into a suitable
table tennis practice room. Over a se-
ries of warm-up drills, excited chatter
about the team’s recent accomplish-
ment fills the air — in February, the
team claimed the New England Divi-
sion Table Tennis championship title
for the second consecutive year. In
April, they will send five members to
Waukesha, Wis., for the National Col-
legiate Table Tennis Tournament.
An orange ping pong ball flies back
and forth between rubber paddles as
the team’s two best players, Yanqiang
Tan ’13 and Jurica Bulovic ’13, rally.
They back farther and farther away
from the edge of the table, hitting the
ball with a variety of offensive and
defensive strokes. In table tennis,
there isn’t a lot of time to respond
to a shot, so each second matters.
Maintaining focus is essential, and
it’s something Tan and Bulovic are
incredibly good at doing. Despite
cheers from a group of teammates at
the next table, the two never break
their concentration.
Finally Bulovic responds with a
strong spin that sends the ball flying
over Tan’s reach. It drops softly onto
the carpeted floor. Warm-up is over.
It’s time to play a match.
A well-kept secret
Unless students wander into the
Olney-Margolies Athletic Center
during the activities fair, they prob-
ably won’t hear much about the table
tennis club. The team may be one of
the University’s best-kept secrets.
Not every student organization can
boast New England Division cham-
pionship titles three of the past four
years, nor can most student organi-
zations claim members who played
semi-professionally before coming
to college.
Tan and Bulovic, two first-year
players, have made “the team much
stronger this year than it’s been, I
think, ever,” said Andrew Tarr ’11, the
club’s president. The club’s members
are more actively improving their
individual skills by trying to add more
structure to their practices and work-
ing with a coach from the Rhode Is-
land Table Tennis Association who
attends the team’s practices three or
four times a semester.
Additionally, the team may try to
apply for status as a club sport. “It will
really depend on how much effort
people are willing to put in,” Yuan
said. Club status will give the team
better access to University funding
and practice spaces on campus.
A taste of professional life
Tarr said the first time he saw Tan
and Bulovic play he was blown away.
“They were able to do a lot of looping at
each other without dropping the ball,”
a technique he said signals experience.
“We had never seen anything like that
here,” he said.
Tan, an international student from
Singapore, said he started playing table
tennis when he was nine. He played
on the Singapore National Youth Team
and even represented Singapore re-
gionally once. At age 16, Tan stopped
playing professionally in order to con-
centrate on his other interests, though
he continued playing for fun. Tan said
he started playing again before coming
to Brown “in anticipation of joining the
team, should there be one.”
Bulovic, who is from Croatia, also
started playing at age nine. “My fa-
ther bought a table tennis table and
we played in the basement,” Bulovic
said. “Then I found out there was a
way I could play in school.” Almost
immediately, Bulovic’s school encour-
aged him to join one of the capital city’s
several table tennis clubs.
Soon Bulovic was playing between
six and nine times a week, often prac-
ticing before school and again after
classes finished.
“I didn’t have much time outside of
practicing,” Bulovic said. “Whenever I
would have free time, I would probably
study. I mean, if you have tournaments
and training every day, you can’t go out
every day and every weekend.”
The lack of free time was a sacrifice
Bulovic said he was willing to make to
play at such an intense and competitive
level, especially for a sport to which he
said he feels strong attachment.
“You start playing and you have
tournaments and then you always have
higher goals to achieve,” Bulovic said.
By age 12, he was playing with the best
table tennis club in Croatia.
Bulovic said playing a sport at such
a high level helped him learn a lot about
himself. “You learn if you’re a fighter
or not, how far are you ready to go to
achieve some goals, how strong and
determined you are,” Bulovic wrote
in an e-mail to The Herald. Bulovic
was named the eighth-best player in
Croatia for his age group and even
earned a bronze medal at one of the
international table tennis tournaments
held in Croatia.
After injuring both of his knees — a
common occurrence among table ten-
nis players — as well as his shoulder,
Bulovic began to seriously consider
taking a break.
“I would see the specialist and go to
therapy but the injury would never go
completely away,” Bulovic said. Even
today, he said, these injuries often
bother him if he plays for an extended
period of time.
But his education was the biggest
factor in his decision to stop playing
professionally. His parents felt edu-
cation was more important than his
potential table tennis career, and en-
rolled Bulovic in the city’s most rigor-
ous high school, a choice that meant
he could no longer continue to play at
the same level.
“I’m still in contact with some of
the people that played with me,” he
said. Now these players are traveling
around the world and earning money,
Bulovic said, but “it’s not like soccer
or a different sport. You really can’t
make a living.”
“I am really happy this is the path
I chose,” Bulovic said. “Playing table
tennis for all those years was amazing
and an unforgettable experience, but
also a lot of sacrifice and hard work.
Eight years, that was enough.”
A worldly sport
It is difficult for the average college
student — whose only interaction with
a ping pong table usually involves red
Solo cups and spilled beer — to imag-
ine what an intensely fast-paced game
table tennis can be. Overall, the sport
is relatively unknown in the United
States, often regarded as little more
than a recreational activity.
The table tennis club is mainly
comprised of international students,
something Yuan said “just happens
to be that way.”
“Maybe because ping pong is a
more organized and respected team
sport in other countries,” he said.
Club member Kaijian Gao ’13 is
from China, where table tennis is the
national sport. He said he feels like
table tennis is hardly recognized in
the United States.
“In China, there’s all this media
attention devoted to table tennis,” he
said, comparing it to the way the “U.S.
looks at Michael Phelps.”
Though Bulovic said table tennis
is not as popular in Croatia either, he
said people in Europe are definitely
more familiar with table tennis than
they are in the United States.

The English Cellar Alehouse will feature a selection of European liquors and traditional English dishes.
On this side of the pond, Liquid goes British
By CC Chiang
Contributing Writer
After 13 years, Liquid Lounge will be
closing its doors for good. On April
1, the English Cellar Alehouse will
open in its place under the same own-
ership.
According to owner Umberto
Sorbo, who also operates bars in Cr-
anston and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the
decision to close down Liquid Lounge
was partly due to its age. “It’s ran its
course after 13 years and it needed
renovations and a facelift,” he said.
Sorbo also revealed that “business
has decreased over the last couple of
years due to the economy.”
“But you have to remember as well
that the Liquid Lounge was more of a
watering hole. Once you have food, it
rounds off the whole business well,”
he added.
The Alehouse, modeled after a clas-
sic English pub, features brick walls
and a replica red telephone booth. “I
knew I had a very old building to begin
with,” Sorbo said, “so I wanted to make
this as authentic as possible.”
According to Sorbo, the main at-
traction of the English Cellar Alehouse
will be its extensive liquor selection,
English cuisine and a wide range of
games and entertainment.
“We’re going to have a lot of craft
beers, such as Dog Fish,” Sorbo said.
The Alehouse will feature over 180
varieties of liquor, with an emphasis
on European and English brands. The
lunch and dinner menus will include
English dishes such as shepherd’s
pie and fish and chips. Sorbo also said
the Alehouse will organize a Cellar
Dweller Beer Club that offers tiered
prizes to aficionados who sample more
than 25 brands of foreign beers.
A section of the pub is dedicated
to billiards and darts with weekly
league competitions. Televisions will
broadcast the Soccer Network and
the Rugby Network.
“We’re specializing in the Euro-

pean thing,” Sorbo said.
To Sorbo, opening a pub in the
midst of a slow economic recovery is a
calculated risk. “In general, the market
is doing pretty well with pubs that
are not overpriced,” he said. “High-
end restaurants are the market that
is getting hit hardest in this economy,
but an appetizer and beer for $10 will
always do well.”
Sorbo considers the Alehouse’s lo-
cation in the heart of Brown’s campus
to be a competitive advantage. “We’re
going to get college and graduate stu-
dents, as well as local professionals,”
he said. “There are Brown students
from across the world, and they make
the neighborhood very cultural.”
“I appreciate the quality and
uniqueness of the East Side,” Sorbo
said.
Theo Spiridis, manager of Spats,
Viva and Paragon, welcomed the new
competition. “The more people in the

visions of probations,” Moran said.
“We can all manipulate statistics to
say what we want them to say.”
Moran, one of two opponents of
decriminalization on the commis-
sion, claimed that decriminalization
would not only fail to cure state
budgets but also called marijuana
a “dangerous drug.”
“It can open up the horizon for
use of more dangerous drugs,” he
said.
Mischa Steiner ’10, treasurer of
the national board of directors of
Students for Sensible Drug Policy
and former president of the Brown
chapter, praised the commission’s
decision.
“It doesn’t make sense economi-
cally, socially or politically for mari-
juana to be criminalized,” Steiner
said. “Officers are spending their
time arresting people for marijuana
possession when they could be deal-
ing with far more serious crimes.”
David Lewis, professor emeritus
of community health and medicine
at Brown, said both sides exaggerate
their cases, but he still believes mari-
juana should be decriminalized.
“Proponents of legalization or de-
criminalization oftentimes overlook
some of the health risks of mari-
juana, while opponents oftentimes
exaggerate the risks,” Lewis said.
But he added that marijuana
should still be treated as a poten-
tially dangerous substance, though
it is less harmful than tobacco and
alcohol.
“Any substance that has risks
needs to be regulated in one way
or another,” Lewis said. “If we de-
criminalize or ever legalize mari-
juana, it will need to be stringently
regulated.”
Steiner said he believes decrimi-
nalization and even legalization are
bound to occur. He said the inertia of
state governments will be the factor
holding back policy changes.
“Not only will decriminalization
become a reality, but full legaliza-
tion with taxation is inevitable,”
Steiner said. “It is just a matter of
how quickly the state government
can move.”
“My guess is that within a year
or two, marijuana will be decriminal-
ized in Rhode Island,” Lewis said.
Despite the growing sense of
inevitability, Moran believes that
not much will change if and when
marijuana is decriminalized in small
amounts.
“We’re still going to have to seize
the drugs and file reports,” Moran
said. “It’s still going to take lots of
time and energy, and I don’t see a
windfall of money coming into the
state as a result of this policy.”
But Steiner said he believes sig-
nificant change is within sight.
“Support for marijuana legaliza-
tion in our generation is extremely
high and it continues to grow across
the entire population,” Steiner said.
“I think that once a state fully legal-
izes marijuana, it will be a major
turning point.”

Upset City: Providence
hosts bracket busters
By Fred Milgrim
Sports Staff Writer
March Madness in Providence. It
doesn’t get any better than the first and
second rounds of college basketball’s
unique playoff system. And the Dunkin’
Donuts Center was home to some of
the most thrilling games and notable
upsets so far this tournament.
SPORTS
The upstart town was pulling for
the upstart teams. The crowd erupted
every time the underdog, the Ohio
Bobcats, made one of their many cir-
cus shot three-pointers. Robert Morris
and Saint Mary’s also felt the local
energy as they tried to dethrone the
Villanova Wildcats. ’Nova barely sur-
vived an OT thriller in the first game,
but lost in the second.
Each squad brought its share of
wacky fans, who provided their teams
with a spark of energy. The San Diego
State posse had some of the wildest,
almost pushing their underdog Aztecs
to an upset of Tennessee. Four alums
decided to make the trip together —
two from New York and two from
California. They said they barely
had enough cash for the trip, but the
shirtless quartet, who sported colorful
wigs as accessories and had “SDSU”
painted across their chests, made it
well worth it as their spirit was visible
from around the arena.
With Providence College running
the event on behalf of the NCAA, the
school asked media relations profes-
sionals in the Providence area to volun-
teer to run the two days of basketball.
Brown’s Director of Sports Informa-
tion Chris Humm, along with Lindsey
Maurer, assistant sports information
director, and Isaac Goodling, sports in-
formation coordinator, volunteered.
Humm was the moderator for all of
the press conferences, while Goodling
and Maurer helped in photo support.
“It’s tiring,” Humm said, “but for those
of us in the athletic communications
profession, working an NCAA basket-
ball tournament is a thrill.”
Even some of Brown’s players were
able to attend the action last week.
Tri-captain Adrian Williams ’11 said he
knows two players on the University
of Richmond team and was able to get
tickets through them.
“There is really nothing like the
atmosphere of college basketball,
especially during March Madness,”
Williams said.
He felt Brown’s squad could hang
with some of the tournament teams,
especially after watching Cornell’s run.
“Both of our Cornell games, we felt like
Liquid gets a little British

area, the more customers we have,”
he said. “There’s enough business for
everybody.”
“Business is good in Providence,”
said Sarah Chase, manager of Abe’s.
At present, there are no plans to
offer exclusive discounts to members
of the Brown community.
At least two Brown students were
receptive to Sorbo’s concept. “I’ll go
In case you missed
it, here’s a quick
recap of the action
down the hill:
The action tipped off
early Thursday afternoon,
with No. 2 seed Villanova be-
ing tested by a tough Robert
Morris team — there was
some questionable officiat-
ing toward the end of regula-
tion, which allowed ’Nova to
send the game to OT, when
they were able to pull ahead.
No. 10 seed Saint Mary’s
then took down the No. 7
Richmond Spiders.
In the night action, a
lightning quick Ohio team
seeded No. 14 in the region
ran circles around the larger
(and heavily favored) No. 3
Georgetown team. Even
when the Bobcats missed,
they managed to pull down
an offensive rebound. Short-
ly thereafter, in a much clos-
er game, Tennessee held off
San Diego State. But by the
second game, many of the

Tri-captain Peter Sullivan ’11 has

for the Ivy League because of all the
positive publicity they have received,

them so many times,” he said. “I hope
they continue to be successful, and I

Madness means money for Providence
By Fred Milgrim
Sports Staff Writer
The white tents plastered in Guin-
ness, Coors Light and WBRU post-
ers and droves of out-of-town buses
at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center last
week did not only indicate the kick-
off of basketball’s best month of
the year, it also meant big bucks
for the state’s struggling economy.
Providence College’s basketball
arena was rocking for three days
while local businesses were raking
in tourists’ dollars.
College basketball fans from
New England swarmed to Provi-
dence for the NCAA March Mad-
ness basketball tournament. The
Dunk was sold out for all six games,
and the sports bars in the surround-
ing area packed their tables, accord-
ing to Fred Goodwin, the owner
of Bravo Brasserie on Empire
Street.
Fans pouring in from the rest
of the country — including San Di-
ego, Tennessee and Ohio — were
expected to bring the real boost,
however.
According to Martha Sheridan,
president of the Providence/War-
wick Convention and Visitors Bu-
reau, conservative estimates predict
about $3 million in direct spending.
This figure is based on hotel res-
ervations and restaurant patterns,
but she said this number is modest
in comparison to estimated figures
from other host cities. The city of
Providence secured this year’s
event in 2006 and Sheridan began
planning for it in September.
There were 10 official hotels
in the downtown area sponsoring
the event, eight of which hosted
individual teams and their traveling
fans, she said.
“When they arrived Tuesday
night, each team was greeted with a
chocolate cake and Autocrat coffee
syrup,” Sheridan said, providing a
little taste of Lil’ Rhody’s finest. Visi-
tors’ tables and information centers
also gave fans recommendations
for sites to visit and explore around
Providence.
Reservations at the local hotels
began to pick up after the tourna-
ment teams were announced the
Sunday prior, said Patrick Jordan,
general manager of Hotel Provi-
dence. “The city looks like a well-

basketball games, bringing a boost to the Rhode Island economy.
oiled machine,” he said.
He expects that the tournament
will provide immediate profit for
Providence, as well as paying divi-
dends through the spring and sum-
mer tourist seasons. “The amount
of exposure we get — not only from
the universities coming here, but
also when the national television
audience sees cuts of Providence
— it’s a great vehicle for people to
know that we’re a regional destina-
tion as well,” he said.
The Convention and Visitors
Bureau worked closely with the
office of Mayor David Cicilline ’83
to ensure that things ran smoothly
and to plan for a special Slam Dunk
WaterFire, held Friday night.
The WaterFire event was espe-
cially important to Cicilline, accord-
ing to his press secretary, Karen
Southern. He spent most of the
night walking around, introducing
himself to visitors and talking about
their stay in his city, she said.
The event came “during a time
that’s typically slow economically,”
Southern said, “right before tourist
season.”
Cicilline also recently secured a
10-year contract with the Big East,
a collegiate athletic conference that
includes Providence College. The
conference was headquartered in
Providence’s Jewelry District until
Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Fred Milgrim / Herald
Brown’s planned expansion forced
it out of the neighborhood. Cicilline
intervened to secure new office
space for the Big East elsewhere
in the city, Southern said.
One avid University of Ten-
nessee fan, Trey White, wearing
orange-and-white checkered golf
pants, displayed enthusiasm for
his team in the Dunk on Thursday
night. He checked into the Provi-
dence Crowne Plaza Hotel on the
previous Tuesday, dined out around
the city and was planning to visit
Newport the next day.
Since his Vols won, White
planned to stay through their sec-
ond game on Saturday before re-
turning home or moving on to root
for his team in the next city.
White was not the only fan plan-
ning to enjoy the rest of the state
during his visit. One large contin-
gent of Tennessee fans planned an
excursion to Narragansett, and a
group from Villanova University
was planning a trip to Newport,
Sheridan said.
Inside the arena, one local said,
“This is way more packed than a PC
game. PC security is a joke com-
pared to this.”
An attendant at a fried dough
stand inside said, “This is probably
the most crowded event we’ve ever
had.”

Hipsters’ attire is
scrupulously selected
To the Editor:
While I was amused by the vague-
ly Swiftian whimsy and diction of the
quixotic Sean Quigley’s ’10 recent
opinion column (“Appropriate for
the occasion,” March 17), I am a bit
concerned for his welfare. He seems
to be in a mild existential crisis, a
modern-day Sartre Resartus stuck
in a fin-de-siecle Zeitgeist. Ironically
for a Brown student, he ignores the
massive hipster subculture, which
focuses heavily on clothing and any
other sort of sartorial individuality.
Many may wear a standard jeans and
tee, but is this not just as conform-
ist as an ensemble suit in an earlier
era? Nay, I prefer to save my dap-
perness for the occasions when they
matter most, making it all the more
contrastive. So what, precisely, did I
take away from all this cockpuffery?
To wit: with petty topics come pithy
aphorisms.

Where was everyone? Last Thursday, after
what has been, in her own words, “an ex-
ceedingly difficult year for the Brown com-
munity,” President Ruth Simmons delivered
the first State of Brown address in four years
to a mostly empty Salomon 101. To make mat-
ters worse, those few students who showed up
started trickling out from the very beginning,
with the floodgates finally unleashed during
the question and answer session. By the end,
hardly anyone was left.
It seemed that nobody wanted to be there.
At times, even Simmons could be seen check-
ing her watch or inquiring about the time.
Spring fever had arrived and the entire
University forgot about 2010’s major issues
and changes. As Undergraduate Council of
Students President Clay Wertheimer ’10 ex-
plained, they just couldn’t compete with the
beautiful spring weather.
How could it be that spring just happens to
come along and cause such bad amnesia? How
quickly everyone forgot about that $740million
hole in the endowment or that charming 4.5
percent tuition hike. Where were the faculty
and staff who had their salaries frozen or their
friends and co-workers laid off?

Stop promoting pseudoscience
DAVID
SHEFFIELD
Opinions Columnist
Over the weekend, the Haitian Students As-
sociation held an event for dowsers. It had
two purposes. The first was to raise money
for water filtration systems in Haiti. The sec-
ond was to provide classes on dowsing (also
known as divining or water witching). Playing
with dowsing rods on Pembroke Green is one
thing, but doing it in Haiti and other countries
with problematic water supplies is another.
Dowsing has repeatedly been shown to not
work, and it should not be used in disaster
areas where it has the potential to impede
efforts that could actually help people. It’s fine
for a group to raise money for water filters,
but they should not give implicit support to
pseudoscientific practices along the way.
For those of you not familiar with dows-
ing, users claim that they can find water or
pretty much anything else (gold, oil, etc.) with
what’s called a dowsing rod. At one point or
another, you have probably seen a depiction in
popular culture of someone using a traditional
Y-shaped branch to look for underground
water. Dowsers now use anything from bent
coat hangers to pendulums.
The problem is that dowsing does not work.
When subjected to scientific scrutiny, dowsers
are unable to divine the location of objects
hidden from their view. They are unable to
find where to dig for wells unless they already
know where the water is.
The James Randi Educational Foundation
Spring into action
groups always seem ready with a cause and
a petition. The Herald’s pages are generally
filled with the voices of many passionate and
opinionated students. Where did all these
people go when the President of the University
set aside a full hour and a half to speak directly
to the Brown community?
There appears to be a disconnect between
the zeal on campus for these many causes
and the general apathy of the student body.
While many students have their own pet is-
sues, they missed an excellent opportunity to

express themselves. It is time that students
shed this indifference, put down the Frisbee
and start caring.
Let’s be clear: The University is raising
tuition by a comparatively large margin dur-
ing the worst economic crisis in decades.
However, these tuition hikes will not even be
enough to plug the budget gap.
The University is at the same time seeking
budget cuts and cost savings measures. Sim-
mons chose her words very carefully when she
promised that large tuition increases would
offers a million-dollar prize to anyone who can
demonstrate a paranormal or supernatural
ability under proper observing conditions.
Randi has offered the prize since the 1960s —
originally at only one thousand dollars — and
no one has claimed the money yet. The Foun-
dation has tested psychics, astrologers, and
breatharians among others (look up breathar-
ians, they’re hilarious). However, dowsers
are by far the most common applicants. Still,
after all this time, not even one has passed the
preliminary test. If dowsers want to help Haiti,
they should win Randi’s million-dollar prize

with their paranormal abilities and donate it
toward clean drinking water.
If dowsing doesn’t work, then what is re-
ally happening? Dowsers move their rods
through the ideomotor effect, a phenomenon
where people make unconscious movements.
The most familiar example of this is the Ouija
board. It would appear that the planchette, a
small wooden pointer, mysteriously moves
around the board, spelling out words and
answering questions. In reality, people are
unconsciously pulling and pushing the indica-
tor to the letter they want in order to spell out
“absolutely not be an option.” She specifically
did not rule out any tuition increases and in-
stead left herself leeway in the interpretation
of what constitutes a “large” tuition increase.
I understand that Brown doesn’t come cheap,
but this reach into our already turned-out
pockets should at least get students excited
enough to turn out to hear why this is hap-
pening.
Therefore, it is time to demand full ac-
countability from ourselves and from our
school. Simmons said that the funds for the
new construction were contributed specifically
for those projects and could not be used else-
where. We should demand to see the books
and ensure for ourselves that more flexible
funds did not go into those projects. More
importantly, we should insist that those in de-
velopment do their best to obtain open-ended
donations that can go straight into lowering
tuition and providing financial aid.
A quick glance at the Organizational Re-
view Committee Report should inspire some
outrage. While many students are seeing cuts
some word. If you blindfold the participants,
the Ouija board no longer works. Without see-
ing the board, the participants can no longer
unconsciously move the planchette to the
correct locations.
The same thing happens in dowsing. If a
dowser knows that there is a water pipe run-
ning along the street, the rods will cross to
indicate the presence of water as the dowser
passes the spot. If, however, the dowser has no
knowledge of where the pipe is, he or she will
be no more successful than random chance.
The dowser might as well have walked to
an arbitrary spot and proclaimed that water
lies below.
The most disturbing application of dowsing
is the detection of explosives and weapons.
The Iraqi government has bought thousands
of glorified dowsing rod devices for tens of
thousands of dollars each. They use them at se-
curity checkpoints in an attempt to stop bomb-
ers from reaching their target. Unfortunately
for the ensuing victims, dowsing rods detect
bombs no better than they detect water.
But have no fear. Jim McCormick told
the London Times that his company, which

to things like athletics, the folks who attend
the Faculty Club — whoever they are — are
getting a big break. The ORC recommended
that the Faculty Club receive over $200,000
despite the fact that the Faculty Club operates
at a deficit. Surely, there are better ways to
spend this money.
At the same time, we need to make our
values known as the University has to make
tough choices. At the address, Simmons
mentioned the great debate about athletics
at Brown – whether it is better to spread the
funding over more teams or field fewer teams
and fund them more. I would be very curious
what a poll of students — especially athletes
— would turn up. Sadly, the University is not
conducting such a poll, and the students are
not rising up to voice their opinions.
I think that a shift in attitude is in order. I
know that students are extremely passionate
about various issues — why not this? Indiffer-
ence is not an option when your money and
values are at stake. The warm weather will be
around for the rest of this semester, but the
chance to voice your opinion directly to the
University President is gone. Hopefully, you
won’t have to wait another four years before
an opportunity like that arises again.

sells these devices, is making improvements:
“We have been dealing with doubters for ten
years. One of the problems we have is that
the machine does look a little primitive. We
are working on a new model that has flash-
ing lights.” They might not stop bombs, but
at least they’ll look cool. You’ll be pleased to
know that McCormick was arrested for fraud
in January.
These devices are also used in the United
States by law enforcement. Because they do
not actually detect explosives — instead rely-
ing on the user’s biases — they are perfect for
disguising otherwise-unacceptable profiling.
All the user needs to do is consciously or
unconsciously move his or her wrist slightly
and the device will flag someone the officer
thinks is suspicious.
Pseudoscience is not harmless fun. No
matter whether you have good intentions like
the dowsers at last weekend’s event or ques-
tionable ones like McCormick, dowsers are
all operating in a world divorced from reality.
The Haitian Students Association should have
just stuck to raising money for the water filters.
They should not be lending any credibility to
demonstrably false claims, and they should not
be tacitly encouraging dowsing in a disaster
zone. Instead, the dowsers should have been
told that if they really want to help Haiti, they
should stick to effective efforts only.
