Since 1891
The University hopes to announce both the inaugural director for the planned center for the study of slavery and justice and a replacement director for the Office of Institutional Diversity by the end of the academic year, administrators said at the Brown University Community Council meeting yesterday. Members of the council also presented a report from the University Resources Committee and an update on relations between the University and the city of Providence. Dean of the Faculty Kevin McLaughlin P12 told The Herald in September that the University was in contact with a final candidate for the director of the slavery and justice center and that the director would be announced within four to six weeks. At yesterdays meeting, he reported that the search committee had found two candidates, one in 2009 and another this year, who were both unable to take the position due to personal reasons. But the University hopes to hire someone by the end of this academic year, McLaughlin said. What Im here to report to you this afternoon is that were in a very good position to make this a real success story for Brown, and Im very confident that we will, he said. The recruitment process for highlevel positions can typically take at least three years, McLaughlin said. The search committee for a new institutional diversity director received 36 applications and will conduct interviews over winter break, said Provost Mark Schlissel P15. The committee will present finalists to Schlissel and President Ruth Simmons in the spring, he said. In his presentation of a report from the URC, Schlissel noted that while tuition has increased, financial aid has increased at a similar rate. Tuition has stayed at about the same percentage of the Universitys total revenue, even as revenue has increased, he said. Marisa Quinn, vice president for public affairs and University relations, presented to the council on University-city relations. I think we are often seen, in Rhode Island, as a very resourced institution, Quinn said. We loom large in this little state.
Compared to the discourse on campus before the Med School was established in 1972, there was a notable lack of discussion leading up to the Universitys approval of the School of Engineering in 2010.
Mission drift?
Part 2 of a 4-part series
One professor said he was scared scared of the Universitys being asked to bear another financial risk. A few months earlier, Mark Spilka, then chair of the Department
of English, had said he was worried the University seemed to be drifting away from the humanities, establishing itself as a science-oriented campus. It was the 1971-72 school year, and the subject of debate was a proposed medical school, an institution that would be fully separate from the College. Nearly 30 years earlier, thenPresident Henry Wriston had defined Browns identity as a university-college, an institution which puts primary emphasis upon the liberal arts, differentiating it from the nations growing universities. Concerns were widespread that establishing a medical school was contrary to Browns identity and mission, and
Alpert Medical School was only approved after extensive campus-wide discussion. The same questions are relevant today, but the accompanying discourse is far more subdued. Unlike the 1972 establishment of the Med School, the 2010 approval of the School of Engineering went largely uncontested, and the forthcoming school of public health appears to face an equally smooth path to formation. If youre going to have an engineering school and the school of public health, youre departing from the university-college idea, Erwin Hargrove, a professor of political scicontinued on page 3
A shift in health insurance compensation to incentivize higher quality care is occurring at many of Rhode Islands top hospitals, some of which are partnered with Alpert Medical School. In what advocates are calling a progressive move in line with national health care reform, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Rhode Island the states largest health insurance provider announced in mid-November that health care compensation will be based on quality metrics, rather than the length of a patients stay or medical services performed. The move represents a shift from a per-day payment system to a global payment rate, where the insurance provider covers a set fee for a certain illness. For example, a patient would be charged a set fee for pneumonia, with no regard for the hospital or length of stay, said Gus Manocchia MD 86, chief medical officer at Blue Cross and Blue Shield. In this system, hospitals will have incentives to discharge patients as soon as possible, he said. Because the new system will continued on page 2
A FORTUNE IN FUDGE
In contrast to the frenzied Black Friday rush that kicks off the holiday gift-buying season for most shoppers, the inaugural Downcity Providence Holiday Market offered residents a more leisurely experience Saturday. The outdoor market which will be open every Saturday until Dec. 17 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Westminster Street aims to serve local artisan and farmed goods along with a dash of holiday cheer. A lot of the bigger cities have outdoor markets, so we asked, Why not Providence? said Mike Hutchison, a vendor at the market and one of its founders. Hutchison and his wife, Polly, who led a wreath-making demonstration Saturday afternoon, are the owners of Robin Hollow Farm
in Saunderstown, R.I. The markets location is ideal because of the heavy traffic brought in from the other businesses on the street, said Joanna Leavitt, who is an organizer for In Downcity, the business coalition that sponsors the market, and also works for Cornish Associates, which owns the Westminster Street property. The crowd at the market started out small on Saturday morning. Most of the shoppers seemed to have stumbled upon it while out enjoying the unseasonably warm weather or shopping at the nearby downtown businesses. Hutchison said he and his wife expect more shoppers in coming weeks and attributed the low numbers to peoples travel plans over the continued on page 5

Mission Drift? 3
dergraduate engineering program in the Ivy League, it became the last among its peers to establish a school of engineering in May 2010. The administrative shift turning a program into a full-fledged school was similar to the one involving the Med School in 1972. But unlike the Medical School debate, the approval process for the engineering school generated comparatively little opposition from either the faculty or student body. Rod Clifton, then-interim dean of the division of engineering, told The Herald in February 2010 that the change in nomenclature and size would increase the programs national visibility and attract more students, faculty and research grants. Clifton, who joined the University in 1964, said historical reasons kept the University from expanding its engineering program earlier. With the New Curriculums focus on a liberal education, the University may have deemed engineering uncharacteristically pre-professional, he said. But as peer institutions established engineering schools, the University became more open to the idea, he said in the 2010 article. Engineering can be compatible with a liberal arts education, Clifton said, if students take advantage of the one-third of their courses that are not concentration requirements. Funding for the engineering school was also less of an issue than it was for the Med School. Engineering alums, parents and companies were interested in contributing to the school, Clifton said But some faculty members thought a school of engineering could compromise Browns uniqueness. An increased focus on engineering might steer the University from its university-college identity, William Simmons 60, professor of anthropology and former vice president and provost, told The Herald in April 2010. Still, nobody was very worked up about it, Hazeltine said, because it was basically just changing the name. The Med School generated a lot of hoopla in a way the School of Engineering did not, said Jason Becker 09 MA10, who served on the Task Force on Undergraduate Education in 2007 and 2008. Rattner offered few answers for the comparatively low level of student debate over the School of Engineering. Brown is much calmer than when he was a student, he said. President Simmons has made a very compelling case for why Brown needs to have a school of engineering, he said. Students should care about major academic changes at the University, Kenney said. But the short-term goal of getting through school often pushes those changes out of mind. Should they take an interest? he said. Absolutely. Do they? I dont know. The shift under President Simmons tenure toward research and science has run parallel to a striking lack of discussion among students on campus. Whether due to inherent support, high levels of trust in the administration or simple apathy, the period stands in contrast to the years preceding the formation of the Med School in 1972. The fears underlying the Med School debate proved unfounded, said Professor of Medical Science Terrie Wetle. Many feared a medical school would not be financially solvent unless the University cut investments in existing undergraduate and graduate programs. But the Med School has succeeded, allaying fears that specialized schools negatively impact the undergraduate experience, Wetle said. Also, the University in the 1970s
Student apathy
The University first established a medical program in 1811, but it closed after 16 years and graduated only 87 students due to disputes with clinical faculty and the programs general decline. Brown has experimented with a medical school, with agriculture, with forestry and with business administration. Each was dropped because it proved fundamentally incompatible with the Universitys major obligation, Wriston wrote in a 1946 letter to the Corporation, the Universitys highest governing body. In the 1950s, Brown opened an Institute for Research in the Health Sciences. The Corporation approved a medical program in 1962 and inaugurated a six-year masters program in medical science the following year. Within 10 years, talks began concerning the granting of full medical degrees. Increasingly, federal funding for medicine was directed to institutions with medical schools, and Rhode Island hospitals were pressuring the University to expand its program. Faculty and students contested the idea. Including letters to the editor, editorials and opinion columns, The Herald published more than 40 pieces pertaining to the medical school debate. According to a Feb. 18, 1972 Herald article, a forum to debate the proposed medical school drew about 125 people, mainly students. But Barrett Hazeltine, professor emeritus of engineering, did not recall a considerable student reaction just a few meetings on the Main Green that attracted very excited people. Faculty members were more concerned, he said. As the Corporation analyzed the financial effect a medical school would have on University affairs, faculty members were left on the side-
lines to discuss curricular matters, Hargrove said. The vice president for administration had told the faculty not to concern themselves with financial matters, Hargrove said, but the great anxiety was about money. The Corporations deliberations were sealed off from the community, and the consensus among faculty members was that the schools approval was fatalistic, he said. The deck was stacked. But other faculty members were open to the idea of a four-year medical school. Henry Randall, professor of medical science and surgeon-in-chief at Rhode Island Hospital, wrote an article in the The Heralds Medical School Supplement on March 7, 1972 in support of the schools development on the condition that the University integrate the schools administration and curriculum with the undergraduate College. The students in the Master of Medical Science program supported establishing a four-year medical school, said Pardon Kenney 72 MMS75 MD75 P03, a member of the Medical Schools first graduating class. But to undergraduates, it was a big deal, said Steven Rattner 74 P10 P13 P15, a former fellow of the Corporation and a former Herald editor-in-chief who reported on the medical school developments. There were a lot of us who felt it would change the character of campus, change the nature of the school. We viewed Brown as a place that was not going to do professional education that was going to focus on undergraduates, he said. The Universitys limited financial resources also raised concerns that the medical school would be developed and maintained at the expense of undergraduate education. Though Brown has the oldest una lack of interest
was simply a different place from campus today. It was a period of enormous activism, Rattner said. The all-female Pembroke College officially merged with Brown in 1971, and the New Curriculum had been instated two years before. Brown was on fire when President Richard Nixon ordered a military invasion of Cambodia, Hargrove recalled. The atmosphere affected student attitudes, said Professor of Biology Ken Miller 70 P02, who called the 1960s a turbulent time at Brown. Though the medical school debate came after Miller graduated, he said the activist environment encouraged students to question University authority. Students are more serious about their education today, said Hazeltine, who joined the Brown faculty in 1959. With increasingly selective admission, the nature of the student body has changed. Students are now more focused on finding jobs, Hazeltine said, leading to a decrease in student activism on campus. There were at least a few students when I was here who didnt think that learning for learnings sake was so corny it was unrealistic, Miller said. Students today are more vocationally oriented. The level of student trust in the administration particularly Simmons may also account for a decline in student debate over curricular changes, Rattner said. Next steps for the University involve transitioning the public health program now four separate departments into an accredited school. Wetle, a key force behind the push, said the idea for a public health school dates back to at least 2000, when she joined the University. Creating a school of public health continued on page 5

established roots in the neighborhood a legal residency status, but not citizenship. Admittedly, both are small steps in the right direction, especially the first one. It seems inimical to the ideals of the country that we would deny citizenship to soldiers who put their lives on the line for our nation. Furthermore, the country would benefit more from the human capital bonus by following the lead of Gov. Lincoln Chafee 75 with some manner of fence double walled for Bachmann, electrified for Cain and refuse any form of amnesty for the 25 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the country. Straying away from this basic track was proscribed as political suicide. Most credit the Perry Plunge of Gov. Rick Perrys poll numbers to his statement arguing that the GOPs position on immigration was heartless. votes Democratic. It is also possible that Gingrich is taking advantage of his recent frontrunner status to look ahead to the general election, where his primary views have to be moderated to appeal to the droves of independent voters who decide presidential elections. Whatever his reason may be, it does not matter. For the United States to overcome its current malaise, compromise between the two parties will have to be reached. Republican willingness to agree to anything has been suspect. Tying back to the Republican allergy to any form of tax increases, a previous Republican debate notably featured every presidential candidate refusing to support a deficit reduction deal that featured $10 of spending cuts to $1 of tax reform. The autopsy results of the recently failed supercommittee found that there was no deal to be had because there was no common ground to be reached. Gingrichs immigration policy is making steps toward finding that common ground. That may sound highly unsatisfying, and it is. It is unfortunate but true that not every Republican is at heart willing, like Chafee, a former Republican senator, to pass a state DREAM Act or compromise over fiscal issues. But to reach any form of compromise, that common ground will need to be formed. Gingrich is taking the bold step to steer his partys discussion back toward the center. It may be a small step, but he should still be applauded for it. Chip Lebovitz 14 is still waiting for Chafee to respond to his letter. He can be reached at charles_lebovitz@brown.edu.

P14 and adopting a federal DREAM Act. We would also be wise to quickly listen to Romney before he changes his mind and staple a green card to every student who graduates with a graduate degree in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. It is Gingrichs admittance to the basic understanding that America as a society will not be able to deport every illegal immigrant who has unlawfully entered the country. Not only is it an egregious waste of resources, but the nation just has more pressing problems, namely a $15 trillion deficit. yet ask every other Republican primary candidate and they would imply that as president they would secure the Mexican border Lets expand on the Perry anecdote a bit. The Texas governor signed into law a bill giving in-state tuition rates to the children of illegal immigrants in Texas. He then defended the bill, an identical copy of legislation found in conservative bastions like Nebraska and Kansas, at a Republican debate. Conservative activists disapproved. Perrys poll numbers plummeted. Perry has been apologizing ever since. Gingrichs position is by no means a safe or particularly smart one for the primary and therefore leads to the question of why he would even take it in the first place. It is possible that Gingrich is pandering to a burgeoning Hispanic electorate that historically

for reaching its almost comically unattainable goals. How exactly were the occupations supposed to result in a just society? They brought attention to the plight of the 99 percent, yes, and excited participants who were growing ever more disillusioned with American power structures but then what? Where was this energy supposed to go? The protesters never decided.

As the protesters glumly departed, some predicted their anger would fizzle out: a nice display, a fun media circus, but one with no real results.

Its bad enough catching a cold during midterms week or spraining an ankle in a satellite gym. But when students get sick abroad, they can end up grappling with an administrative headache.
Feature
Claire Luchette 13 was hospitalized for a week in August for Dengue fever while studying abroad in India. It was rather grim, she wrote in an email to The Herald. I was never entirely sure of what I was being medicated with. Luchette has been hospitalized three times so far during her time in India. Brown was helpful in coordinating emergency medical assistance by referring her to an emergency room in Delhi where she could receive care, Luchette wrote. The hospital stay was scary and fairly lonely, she wrote, though International SOS a health care and medical services provider that serves Brown students studying abroad maintained contact to ensure that her treatments were going smoothly. But she had to deal with insurance information and communicating with her parents on her own, Luchette wrote, which became a bit stressful. Because of the language barrier, it was often difficult to communicate her questions, Luchette wrote, and she became convinced that the nurses were giggling about me in Hindi.
Brooke Dalury 12 had two weeks left of her fall semester in Paris last year when she fell and twisted her ankle while running to catch the Metro. Not wanting to go to the hospital, Dalury said she did not want to make a big deal at first. But her boss, a French citizen and fluent English speaker, drove her to the hospital for an X-ray. Luckily, I do speak French, but its hard to be thinking in another language when Im in pain, Dalury said. Its just a little harder when youre in a stressful situation to be explaining specific circumstances in a different language, such as distinguishing between twisting or rolling your ankle. After several hours in the waiting room, she learned that her leg was broken in three places and that she would probably need surgery, Dalury said. According to the Office of International Programs website, all Brown students who study abroad are covered by a Brown Travel Assistance Plan, administered through International SOS. Coverage applies regardless of whether students attend Brown programs or approved alternative programs. SOS is not an insurer but provides emergency medical evacuation service. Its services include more than 3,500 professionals in medical facilities on five different continents. Though SOS would have covered Dalurys surgery, her parents did not want her to have surgery in a foreign country and encouraged her to come home, she said. She received a cast on her leg so
she could fly home safely and ended her semester in Paris two weeks early. Her program coordinators allowed Dalury to finish her study abroad requirements from the U.S. For students studying in areas where adequate medical facilities are not locally available, International SOS seeks approval from the University and from the students requiring medical care to evacuate them to a capable facility. Evacuations are supervised by physicians and may involve an air ambulance if necessary, according to the Brown-specific section of the SOS website. Once students have applied and been accepted to study abroad programs, they may choose to fill out a disclosure form about their physical condition, psychological or emotional problems and recent injuries or diseases. For instance, because certain medications are named differently depending on the location, students are encouraged to get a note from a physician with the medications generic name to ensure they are able to renew prescriptions if necessary, Brostuen said. Students preparing to go abroad should make health concerns known to coordinators at the outset, he said. Pre-existing mental health issues can be exacerbated when students are abroad, he added. Study abroad can be challenging in the best of circumstances, said Kendall Brostuen, director of international programs and associate dean of the College.
around two-thirds of students own an iPhone, android or Blackberry, according to a recent Herald poll.
Students who took to the skies over Thanksgiving break had new options for getting to T.F. Green Airport. In addition to the usual smattering of taxis and shuttles lined up at Faunce Arch, the Mas-
a.m. and the last train departing at 10:15 p.m. The timetable was designed to coincide with flight schedules and is intended to provide more convenient connections for travelers, according to a Rhode Island Department of Transportation press release. The majority of trains leaving the airport continue on to Bostons South Station. But despite the additional departures and the relatively cheap $2.25 one-way fare, few students appear to be using the service. Drew Morrill 13, from Bellingham, Wash., said he had not used the commuter rail connection in the past because the service was quite limited, and the schedule was not well-timed to catch flights from the airport. Now that he is aware of the increased service, he
said he would consider the rail link for future trips. MBTA commuter rail service to Rhode Islands primary airport began Dec. 6, 2010 with trains stopping at T.F. Greens InterLink hub, a $267 million project stemming from a collaboration between the state Department of Transportation and the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. The InterLink, which serves as a hub for Rhode Island Public Transit Authority buses, also features nearly 700 commuter parking spaces and room for 1,800 rental cars. Work has already begun to further extend the commuter rail service on the line to Wickford Junction, a station in North Kingstown.
Thirty years ago, having a portable writing machine meant lugging a typewriter across campus. But today, nearly all students own a laptop, and almost 65 percent own a smartphone. According to the most recent Herald poll, 97.5 percent of students indicated they own a personal laptop and 64.3 percent reported owning an iPhone, Android or Blackberry. Nearly 99 percent of students who do not receive financial aid own laptops, compared to 96.3 percent of students who receive financial aid. Seventy percent of students who are not on financial aid reported owning an iPhone, Android or Blackberry, compared to 54.5 percent of students on financial aid. Many students said personal electronics are important in both the academic and social realms. I think laptops are a pretty big deal, said May Siu 15. If you dont have a laptop and have to use the cluster computers in the library, it can be difficult to deal with. Emily Chang 14 also mentioned the academic constraints students face without certain technological devices. If students are not able to afford a laptop, it will really limit their ability to mobilize and study wherever they want or even take notes in class, she said. But Sheyda Bautista-Saeyan 14 said the University does help the few students who lack their own computer. I think it might hinder the social environment, but I do think Brown does a good job in having computers readily accessible to students, Bautista-Saeyan said. Other newly popular portable devices have not yet permeated campus culture only 5.5 per-
cent of students reported owning a tablet computer and 6.2 percent an eReader, such as a Kindle. In terms of learning, only laptops matter in the classroom, said Daryl Eng 15. Most professors still use the chalkboard during class, which is pretty cool. One course offered this semester, COLT 1421Q: Word and Image: Ekphrasis, the Iconic Narrative and the Graphic Novel, has experimented with moving beyond the traditional chalkboard setup. The course, taught by Meera Viswanathan, associate professor of comparative literature, provided each student with an iPad to help bridge the gap between text and images in works of literature. But the novelty of the iPad did not improve the course for everyone. I feel as though the iPads have been detrimental to the class, a student enrolled in the course, who did not want her name used, wrote in an email to The Herald. We used the iPads as a narrow framework that we had to use all the time as opposed to a supplement that we only used when it was convenient. It negatively impacted the books that we read because we could only read books that were available for the iPad. written questionnaires were administered to 851 undergraduates november 23 in the lobby of J. walter wilson and the Stephen robert 62 Campus Center during the day and the Sciences Library at night. The poll has a 3.1 percent margin of error with 95 percent confidence. The margin of error is approximately 4.7 percent for students receiving financial aid and 4.2 percent for students not receiving financial aid. Find results of previous polls at thebdh.org/poll.
