After a day of ominous cloud

for the concert to begin, giving stu-

as well as their ears. As the moon
shined brightly down on concertgo-

mixes got early arrivals pumped for
the rest of the show. Stegosaurus is

Advising
Central
expands
By Emma Janaskie
Contributing Writer
Over the summer, Advising Central
relocated and expanded from the
second floor of J. Walter Wilson to
the third. It opened for student use
on Sept. 1, the first day of classes.
The expansion was designed
to reflect the recommendations of
Faculty Advising Fellows and is in-
tended to establish a clear point of
entry for all student advising needs,
as well as to pool staff resources to
enhance the student advising ex-
perience.
The expanded space includes an
office for Disability Support Ser-
vices, a center where students with
disabilities can complete assign-
ments for classes with the necessary
accommodations.
The Curricular Resource Center,
which previously occupied the space
now used by Advising Central, has
moved to the second floor of the
Stephen Robert ’62 Campus Center.
A few temporary Swearer Center
offices also had to be relocated to
the second floor of J. Walter Wilson
to make room for the expansion.
Although Advising Central has
expanded, the number of staff work-
ing there remains the same.

mill about and enjoy the nice night.
Many retreated to the back of the
green, where they could sit and re-
lax without the pushing and shoving
of the crowd below.
But when Big Boi took the stage,
a flood of ticket-holders entered the
venue. All at once, people gravitated
toward the stage, moving as one
disorganized mass to the beats Big
Boi provided.
Despite missing one-half of Out-
Kast’s dynamic duo, Big Boi got the
crowd electrified and kept them
there. Blending some old OutKast
favorites with releases off his new
album, Big Boi entertained with
memorable rhymes and smooth
rhythms.
Some of the most memorable
performances were older singles.

University Health Ser vices has
closed its overnight inpatient ser-
vices and extended its hours of
full-ser vice operation in order to
provide more efficient service and
save money.
According to Edward Wheeler,
director of Health Services, nurse-
only hours have been cut down, but
there are more hours when doctors
give X-rays, fill prescriptions and
see patients. Health Ser vices —
including the X-ray unit and phar-
macy — is now open for full care
Monday through Thursday from
8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 8:30
a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and
Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
While Health Services is closed,
students who call the office will be
routed to a nursing service that can
provide advice. Brown’s Emergen-
cy Medical Services will continue
to be available at all times.
Two years ago, full-care oppor-
tunities were limited from 8:30 a.m.
to 5 p.m. on weekdays, but nurs-
ing appointments were available
around the clock.
Wheeler called the change a
“better use of resources.” Health
Services is now able to see about
100 additional patients each week
with the extended appointment
hours, with an average of between
80 and 100 patients total seen each
day.

Alum recognized for Move consolidates faculty advising

With the expansion, students

By Shefali Luthra
Contributing Writer
Rachel Aviv ’04 will receive a Rona
Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award
for nonfiction writing on Thurs-
day. The award was officially an-
nounced earlier this month.
The foundation, named for late
novelist Rona Jaffe, recognizes six
“emerging women writers” each
year for excellence in fiction,
creative nonfiction and poetr y,
according to a foundation press
release. Aviv will be honored with
a $25,000 grant.
Aviv was nominated based on
recommendations from writers,
editors, critics and literary profes-
sionals consulted by the founda-
tion, the press release said. The
award is the only literary program
in the nation aimed at supporting
solely women writers.
“It’s relieved a lot of the doubts
and concerns about being a free-
lance writer, which is particularly
hard in this publishing climate,”
Aviv said. “It’s been both an honor,
but it also inspired me. It allows
me to take risks and do the re-
search I might not have done
otherwise.”
Aviv said she will use the award
money to shadow patients who
are diagnosed with a 30 percent
chance of developing psychosis.
She plans to use material from her
research to write her first book.
Aviv has been published in pe-
riodicals including the New York
Times Magazine and Harper’s.
She concentrated in literature &
cultures in English at Brown, with
sudoku
an emphasis in nonfiction writing.
Aviv also received her Master of
Fine Arts degree in nonfiction
writing from Columbia.
She has had pieces published
about missionaries in public
places, Braille literacy and schizo-
phrenia. Although she has only re-
cently begun writing about mental
health, Aviv said it has interested
her for a long time.
“I realized that I didn’t really
know anything about schizophre-
nia,” Aviv said. “I guess it goes
back to the idea of being drawn by
topics that you didn’t really know
anything about.”
Aviv cited Professor of English
Elizabeth Taylor as particularly
influential in her time at Brown.
Taylor taught Aviv for three years
and “introduced” her to creative
nonfiction, Aviv said.
“I didn’t really know it was
possible to tell true stories about
strangers that read like fiction,”
Aviv said.
Taylor said Aviv was a “preco-
cious” writer even in her first year.
“She really came into Brown
already as an accomplished writer
— very serious, very thoughtful
and already thinking with the
kind of complexity one sees in a
junior or senior,” Taylor said. “It
was clear she was meant to be a
writer.”
While at Brown, Aviv also
wrote for the Arts & Culture sec-
tion of The Herald.
This is the 16th year the award
has been given. Jaffe wrote 16 nov-
els in her lifetime and died in 2005,
the press release said.
now have a centralized space dedi-
cated to advising and no longer need
to wait in the hallways to see an ad-
viser, as they did last year, said Dean
of the College Katherine Bergeron.
“Advising Central was con-
ceived as a place for students, and
it’s evolved every year,” she said.
“Students can go to J. Walter Wilson
and find Faculty Advising Fellows,
Randall Advisers and peer advising
all in one location.”
Bergeron said that Brown can

health care, and he said his research
has found that many college students
find the intensity, pressure and high
expectations of undergraduate life
leave them feeling anxious and over-
whelmed.
“There’s a lot of pressure,” he
said, and students constantly ask
themselves, “How can I possibly
compete with all of these geniuses
that are in my class?”
David Leibow, a psychiatrist on
the faculty of the Columbia Univer-
sity College of Physicians and Sur-
geons, recently published a book
on college mental health. He also
attributed student depression and
anxiety to “academic pressure and
psychosocial adjustment.”
Although “academic stress has
been around for decades,” changes
to college admissions processes
have created meritocratic universi-
ties with much higher expectations,
Leibow said. The presence of high-
performing students from diverse
backgrounds at schools like Brown,
Cornell and Columbia — which used
to be populated exclusively by the
elite — have left many students un-
able to keep up.
Over the last year, almost 85 per-
cent of college students felt “over-
whelmed” by everything they had
to do, according to a 2009 survey
by the American College Health As-
sociation. Over the same time period,
about 30 percent of students felt “so
depressed that it was difficult to func-
tion.”
Anxiety and depression are the
most common issues plaguing the 18
percent of Brown students who visit

director.
expect a further expansion of advis-
ing, as well as the development of
faculty expertise to comprehensively
address students’ questions.
Vice President for Campus Life
and Student Ser vices Margaret
Klawunn said that Advising Cen-
tral was conceived as a way to “en-
courage interaction with faculty and
students” and that the expansion
worked to “evaluate and build on
programs that brought together
faculty and students.”
“Advising Central is now involv-
ing faculty in the lives of students
directly,” she said.
have remained constant, Johnson
said.
There was a 35 percent increase
in the number of students seeking
psychological help between 1990
and 2000, but, she said, even that
increase might be related to more
acceptance of the usefulness of pro-
fessional treatment and not only to
changes in the mental health of the
student body.
“In general, our society became
more aware that some problems
that people have are mental health
problems, and that they can get help
for them,” she explained. Issues like
anxiety and depression were rela-
beled as mental health concerns,
rather than just sadness or nerves,
but the underlying problems had
always been on campus.
Universities like Brown also
saw a small uptick in the number
of students with more serious men-
tal health issues, Johnson said, be-
cause improvements in psychiatric
treatment and medication helped
some students make it to college
when their illnesses would have kept
them from school in the past. Again
though, there were not actually more
young people overall with mental
illnesses.
‘A supportive environment’
Brown has worked for years to
build “a supportive environment
for seeking help,” said Margaret
Klawunn, vice president for campus
life and student services. Psych Ser-
vices has been organized for decades
under a refer-out model that minimiz-
es waiting lists for students seeking
first-time help, she said. Policies for
students with psychological issues
serious enough to merit a medical
leave of absence have also been
largely unchanged.
At Cornell, most mental health
Bergeron said Advising Central
addresses students’ need for “just-
in-time advising” when they have
urgent questions and provides stu-
dents with the opportunity to expand
their network and interact with more
faculty for a diversity of perspectives.
Students have the option to head
to Advising Central and chat with an
adviser about their favorite course
over a cup of coffee or make a formal
appointment to discuss more serious
academic goals, Klawunn said.
“Advising will be made avail-
able in the way students want it,”
Bergeron said.
cal services program and a former
president of the Association for Uni-
versity College Counseling Center
Directors.
About 10 years ago, Cornell ad-
opted a “much more public health
approach” when it adopted a campus-
wide suicide prevention program
informed by the U.S. Air Force
Academy, he said. Faculty and staff
started watching videos seven years
ago that help them to recognize signs
of students in distress, he said, and
a “Let’s Talk” program puts counsel-
ors all over campus to directly reach
some underserved members of the
community.
Though Cornell had some im-
mediate, short-term responses to last
year’s six suicides — most notably
erecting bridge barriers on its cam-
pus’s infamous gorges — the general
commitment to mental health was
long-term.
An old problem
Mental illness is old news on col-
lege campuses.
In the 1600s, Har vard “was
constantly having problems” with
drunken students who would vandal-
ize property and get in fights, said
Simmons, the anthropology profes-
sor. Though no one would use terms
like “binge drinking” or “substance
abuse” to describe those students’
behavior, or suggest that it might be
caused by deeper emotional prob-
lems, it was not all that different from
many issues on campus today.
“We’re dealing with a modern
version of something that’s always
existed,” Simmons said.
Fortunately though, Brown’s
campus has also had an age-old com-
mitment to watching out for other
members of the community.

Grant funds research Org. offers alternative winter break
on college readiness
By Jamie Brew
Contributing Writer
Brown’s Annenberg Institute for
School Reform will use a $3 mil-
lion grant to help school districts
gauge their students’ preparedness
for college.
The Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation gave the grant to the
institute in August after the two
organizations worked together ear-
lier in the year to plan the grant’s
use.
“It’s a significant grant in dollar
terms and in terms of the issues
it addresses,” said Marla Ucelli-
Kashyap, director of district rede-
sign and leadership at the institute.
The institute, which was founded
in 1993 as a national organization
dedicated to non-partisan, non-
ideological education policy de-
velopment and research, relies
on grants for much of its funding,
she said.
The grant will fund research
on college readiness indicator
systems, methods of data collec-
tion and analysis that would allow
school districts to identify and as-
sist students who are ill-prepared
for college, Ucelli-Kashyap said.
Many districts already employ
similar systems directed toward
students who are at risk of failing
to graduate, looking at how stu-
dents’ grades, attendance patterns
and survey responses predict their
likelihood of graduation, she said.
But graduating from high
school does not necessarily imply
being ready for college.
“It’s not the same,” said Ucelli-
Kashyap, who hopes to shift the
focus of indicator systems research
“from being ready to get out of
blogdailyherald.com
Evan Thomas / Herald
high school to being ready to do
something after high school.”
The research funded by the
grant will focus not only on collect-
ing more data, but also on finding
previously overlooked connections
among existing data and investi-
gating how they affect students’
college performance and retention
rates, Ucelli-Kashyap said.
Rhode Island’s Central Falls
School District asks students as
early as elementary school to write
about their attitudes toward col-
lege. But Superintendent Frances
Gallo said she would like to devel-
op a more robust indicator system.
“In the past we haven’t used in-
dicator systems enough,” she said,
“We only have anecdotal evidence.”
The Annenberg Institute will
choose approximately six school
districts to take part in the program
funded by the grant. The institute
is looking for districts that already
have some elements of an indicator
system in place, Ucelli-Kashyap
said.
Once the six are selected, they
will be coordinated as “a network
with the opportunity to learn from
each other and from experts in the
field,” she said.
Central Falls, a district with
which the Annenberg Institute
has worked in the past — nota-
bly in the wake of this February’s
controversy over the mass firing
of teachers at Central Falls High
School — recognizes the impor-
tance of monitoring warning signs
and hopes to be chosen as one of
the participants, Gallo said.
“The red flags start early,” she
said, “The more we know about
our children, the more we can help
them.”
THE BROWN DAILY HERALD
“I didn’t want to end college without taking a class from him.”
By Emma Wohl
Contributing Writer
Associate Professor of Classics and
Comparative Literature Joseph Pucci
remembers a grad school professor
joking, “If anyone wants to make a
name for him or herself” in the field
of classics, “Fortunatus is the poet you
want to study.” Years later, Pucci is now
offering what he believes is the only
class in the world focusing exclusively
on Fortunatus, a medieval Latin poet.
This is Pucci’s third semester of-
fering the class, which he also taught
in 2005 and 2008. He hopes to make
it a regular part of Brown’s classics
curriculum.
“I will offer it regularly as an ad-
vanced Latin class,” he said, adding
that he now has 28 students enrolled,
which is “exciting.”
Fortunatus, a sixth-century poet
who lived in Italy and Gaul, is, accord-
ing to Pucci, “not a canonical author.
He’s not on the radar screen” of many
people who study Latin authors.

Students interested in doing more than
relaxing at home over winter break
will be pleased to know that another
option is available.
In a collaborative effort between
the University and Limitless Horizons
Ixil, a nonprofit organization which
focuses on improving the lives of a
group of indigenous Guatemalans,
up to 18 Brown students will travel
to Chajul, Guatemala, for 12 days in
January.
Chajul is hardly a typical tour-
ist destination, a county high in the
mountains of Guatemala where most
adults earn between $1 and $3 a day,
previous participants said at an infor-
mation session Thursday. LHI works
closely with the people of the area,
many of whom speak the indigenous
language of Ixil rather than Spanish.
The organization is still relatively
young — it formed in 2004 — but it
is growing quickly.
The organization awarded 76
scholarships to students from the
area to attend school, up from 10 in
2004. And due to the group’s efforts,
this year saw a 500 percent increase
in the number of students attending
high school in the region, students
said at the info session.
The upcoming trip is not the first
time Brown has worked with the non-
— Allison Kemmerle ’11, head of Classics DUG
But Allison Kemmerle ’11, a stu-
dent in Pucci’s course, described it as
a very important class to take “if you
want to experience Latin as literature.”
Kemmerle, who is also co-pres-
ident of the Classics Departmental
Undergraduate Group, said that she
had studied Fortunatus before as part
of a survey of Latin literature. “As a
Latin student, you get the history,”
she said.
For her, though, the major draw
of the class was the professor. “For
a lot of people who came to Brown
for classics, Professor Pucci was the
first person we met,” Kemmerle said.
“I didn’t want to end college without
taking a class from him.”
Pucci recently published the first
English translation of Fortunatus’ po-
ems, 120 poems written for the poet’s
friends that “make the everyday seem
more than common,” according to
Pucci. He described one poem in
which Fortunatus recalls “waking up,
walking into the kitchen and seeing,
in the cream on top of the milk, the
profit organization. At information ses-
sions last week, students who traveled
to Chajul last year spoke and shared
their experiences. Leonard Chen ’13
called the trip “engaging” and “re-
warding” and said he was pleased to
have learned so much on the trip.
Alysha Naik ’11 has remained ac-
tive with LHI since she traveled to
Chajul and is helping to organize this
year’s trip.
“It’s an experience you can’t get
through a travel agent,” she said, call-
ing her work in Chajul “one of the best
things I’ve ever done.”
Groups work directly with the na-
tive people of the area, helping out
wherever they are needed. Last year’s
group installed cement floors in the
school, painted the village library,
helped to build a community garden
and more.
Past participants said that, in ad-
dition to the work, they spent their
time learning. Naik “realized all the
things I take for granted,” she told
The Herald.
She said her perspective on life
changed when she met the people of
Chajul, who see virtually no tourists
or travelers due to the area’s isola-
tion. Despite their poverty, she said
she had “never seen people so happy.
They don’t care that nine of them are
crammed into one bed.”
Those in attendance at the informa-
tion session considering working with

fingerprints of a good friend.”
Though some of the poems ex-
plore the erotic, Pucci said the major-
ity of Fortunatus’ poems were “just
focused on how it feels to be alive.”
According to Kemmerle, the simplic-
ity of Fortunatus’ themes makes for
a different kind of discussion. “You
miss the point of literature if you’re
beating it to death and trying to pick
apart grammar,” she said.
Pucci’s class looks instead at the
big picture and “treats the materials
as works of art.” This is easier, she
said, because of Fortunatus’ focus on
“simple daily life.”
But students ready to jump out
of their seats and register for Pucci’s
class will just have to wait. Pucci said
he will not offer the class again until
the year after next.
Instead, said Pucci, he will “prob-
ably offer a class on another obscure
poet” — Alcuin, a Latin poet of the
8th century — thereby securing his
own “monopoly on obscure late Latin
authors.”
LHI were excited about the opportu-
nity, but expressed some concern over
the price of the trip, which totals about
$1,700 in addition to airfare.
Grey Joyner ’13 said the 12 days
would be a “great trip,” but “money
would be an issue.”
Lauren Urban ’12 echoed that sen-
timent, saying she was interested in
the trip but that it was too pricey.
But Naik explained that there are
ways to offset the cost of the trip. She
encouraged students to “apply for the
trip first,” and said that if a student
wants to work with the organization,
something can often be done to en-
sure they are able to make the trip
without breaking the bank.
Past participants have fundraised
as a group, contacted friends and fam-
ily to ask for small donations, been
sponsored by employers and were
even granted outside scholarships,
as was Chen’s case. He said the trip
was expensive but explained that all
money is used to fund the projects
in the area. Because of that fact, “it’s
your project,” he said.
Despite the costs, past participants
said the trip was worth the money and
was “really rewarding.”
“The most rewarding part was the
time spent with the people of Chajul,”
Chen said. “Their kindness makes the
trip worth it.”
The group is accepting applica-
tions until Sept. 24.

Students can now get all of
their needs — medical examina-
tions, X-rays, lab work and pre-
scriptions — taken care of in one
visit, Wheeler said. “Before, we’d
see patients at six, and we couldn’t
do an X-ray. We’d have to have
them come back the next day. Now
we don’t have to do that,” he said.
“Now when we’re open, we’re open

Wheeler said another benefit
is that fewer students end up in
the hospital. “Nurses were send-
ing more patients to the hospital
between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. (on
weekdays) and on weekends,
but now we’re able to do a better
job of evaluating them and taking

Wheeler said.

institutions, including Cornell, Co-
lumbia and the University of Penn-
sylvania, have also eliminated their
infirmaries. But Health Services
will still have four beds available
for day use, Wheeler said.
“We decided it was a good
decision at this moment to close
it,” Klawunn said. She declined to
specify the amount the University
will save by making this change,

Ser vices and Klawunn, with the
help of a consultant, Wheeler said.
“As we were considering clos-
ing the inpatient unit, we were try-
ing to figure out what would also
be helpful,” Klawunn said.
Wheeler said many students
had sought help between 5 p.m.
and 7 p.m. on weekdays and before
4 p.m. on the weekends but could
not receive the services they need-
ed. As a result, he said, Health
Services adjusted their hours to
fit the needs of those students.
Klawunn emphasized her confi-
dence in the changes. “There was
much discussion, and we looked at
it very carefully. We’re making a
decision that we think is the right
decision,” she said.

Changes to make dent
in remaining deficit
By Sarah Mancone
Senior Staff Writer
The University has begun imple-
menting changes to support admin-
istrative and academic departments
as recommended during the sum-
mer by the Organizational Review
Committee. Chief among those
alterations are extending grant
management resources, creating
an administrative ser vice center
and expanding desktop support
services.
These changes are a part of an
overall effort to compensate for
the economic downturn’s effect on
the endowment, said Karen Davis,
vice president for human resources.
Over the course of several fis-
cal years following the economic
downturn, the University has de-
cided to cut $95 million from the
budget. The ORC and the Univer-
sity Resources Committee “worked
long and hard last year to identify
additional savings,” Davis said. Dur-
ing the first phases of the budget
alternation, the University trimmed
the deficit by $65 million.
This was done by eliminating
139 staff positions that had been va-
cated by staff members who chose
to take advantage of the offered re-
tirement incentive program, Davis
said, as well as by implementing a
general hiring freeze.
The committee also worked to
eliminate operating costs and use
that money to directly support aca-
demic programs, Davis added.
For the last $30 million, Davis
said, the University will alter cur-
rent programs and create new ones
instead of making more cuts.
One of these programs consists
of shared grants and resources for
contracts in the humanities. The
Depar tment of Applied Math-
ematics has a grant management
resource that it is making available
to some humanities departments,
Davis said.
With grants, there are “addition-
al things you have to do to manage
that money,” she said, and “that’s
been an area of need around the
campus.”
Another program that has been
developed is the administrative ser-
vice center. This ser ves to bring
people who work for the administra-
tive units across campus together
physically or virtually in order to
become more efficient, Davis said.
Through the ser vice center,
one or two people can do the work
for multiple units, which include
tasks like paying employees, buying
supplies and scheduling travel for
faculty, Davis said, adding that this
gives people in those departments
the capacity to do other things.
This makes it easier for ad-
ministrative departments to track

money, people and financial trans-
actions as well as to generally “get
smarter about doing some of the
basic transactions,” she said. Many
universities have already created
such centers, she added.
Provost David Kertzer ’69 P’95
P’98 appointed Sara Walsh as di-
rector of the center, which is now
located in University Hall.
The University has also in-
creased desktop support services,
which came as a recommendation
from the ORC during the Corpo-
ration meeting in Februar y, said
Chris Grossi ’92, assistant director
of desktop support services.
Prior to this development, Davis
said, there was one position within
the administration that provided
troubleshooting.
This person would cover desk-
top support primarily for those in
Human Resources because there
are “a lot of feeds that are going
to and from the main human re-
sources system,” Davis said.
“It wasn’t a very efficient use,”
she said, because if that one person
was out sick, there would be no
one to help maintain the personal
computers of people in Human Re-
sources.
This new system, which is
overseen by Computing and Infor-
mation Services, will “make com-
puting support in academic and
administrative departments more
consistent across the University,”
Grossi said.
CIS is now providing this sup-
port to “even more departments
across the University,” Grossi said.
There were as many as 20 de-
partments that did not have this
resource built in, Davis said, which
left them mostly on their own.
The program’s expansion does
not extend across the entire Uni-
versity but focuses on the major-
ity of the humanities and a mix of
administrative departments, said
Scott Martin, manager of IT sup-
port consultants.
Giving CIS this responsibility
“improves computer infrastructure”
and makes it easier to “manage the
volume of students and faculty,”
Martin said.
Davis said CIS offers a bigger,
more expansive team than the Uni-
versity had before.
“When I call my IT suppor t
person in CIS, they know my com-
puter,” Davis said. “They can walk
me through it” by knowing how the
computer is configured and literally
seeing the desktop, she said.
There is always someone who
can take care of a problem, she
added, and it does not require
physically bringing a computer to
the Help Desk.
They are “already seeing the
advantages,” Davis said.

Ugandan exile Seremba shares story of survival, triumph
By Anita Badejo
Staff Writer
Imagine surviving your own execu-
tion. Now imagine surviving it 326
times.
George Seremba has been per-
forming his autobiographical one-
man play “Come Good Rain: An
Extraordinary Story of Personal
Survival” throughout the world since
1992. The Ugandan exile, actor and
current International Writers Project
visiting playwright at Brown narrated
his account of life at the hands of bru-
tal Ugandan dictators Apolo Milton
Obote and Idi Amin Dada for the
326th time on Friday.
“We knew that, as a longtime ex-
ile, he was in need, and we could be
of temporary if modest help,” wrote
Visiting Professor of Literary Arts
Robert Coover, who is in charge of
the International Writers Project —
which provides Seremba with a living
stipend, an office, “a refuge and a bit
of quiet writing time” — in an e-mail
to The Herald.
The play opened the 40th season
of the Department of Africana Stud-
ies’ Rites and Reason Theatre.
Seremba left approximately 150
audience members spellbound as
they squeezed into extra space on

stage without offering an encore.
risers and the floor.
The production opened with
drumming by Malian master per-
cussionist Sidy Maiga, who provided
seamless musical transitions from
scene to scene throughout the play.
Seremba begins the play by re-
counting an old Ugandan folk tale
of a girl who is left in a forest to die
at the hands of an evil stepmother.
As Seremba’s own story unfolds, the
parallels between the young girl’s
narrative and his own become clear,
and her tale serves as a thread that
weaves the play’s scenes together.
The tale was also Seremba’s fa-
vorite as a child, he told The Herald.
Incorporating the art of folk narration
into the play was “in a sense univer-
salizing, but in the particular and the
local,” he said. The play resonates
not only with audience members’
humanity but also with their heritage,
he added. “Where you have that girl,
other people have Cinderella.”
Seremba’s own tale takes the
audience from his childhood to his
eventual escape and exile from Ugan-
da in 1980. The play comes to a grip-
ping climax when President Obote,
reclaiming power for a second time
from Idi Amin, sentences Seremba
to death at the hands of his military
intelligence. The scene unfolds in

terror as Seremba is marched into
the forest and shot repeatedly.
During this episode in his life,
Seremba felt like the girl in the folk
tale, he told The Herald. “I felt like
she was hovering over my back like
what the Christians call a guardian
angel.” Seremba added that he was
convinced he was dying until he
“woke up or came back to life.”
Yet, he miraculously crawls his
way to safety, is found by a nearby
village boy, receives medical atten-
tion and manages to flee to Kenya
with the help of his uncle before
ultimately breaking out of Africa
altogether to Canada.
The dialogue is masterfully writ-
ten, and Seremba captures the hor-
rors of his experiences in strikingly
poignant language. Embodying the
rage of Ugandan civilians, he cries,
“They can’t go on killing us yesterday
and mounting our daughters tomor-
row.” To President Obote’s military
intelligence, he is “a doormat to their
thick boots,” while “sometimes the
back of their guns would have a little
talk with (his) ribs.”
But it is the playwright and actor
himself who carries the play from be-
ginning to conclusion, and it is hard
to imagine understanding Seremba’s
story without having him there to

the well-known chorus back to the
rapper in synchronized mimicry.
“The Way You Move” was another
crowd favorite that had people rush-
ing toward the stage. Though Andre
3000 wasn’t present, Big Boi’s style
and tempo still thrilled the audience.
His Southern hip-hop roots came
alive on stage as he incorporated
heavy bass tracks with a bounce that
had students bobbing their heads
to the beat.
“He played all the songs I wanted
to hear, so I’m pleased,” said Ella
Evans ’11.
Other students were not quite
as satisfied. “I really like it when he
does the OutKast stuff,” said Ste-
phen Larrick ’11. “But it still feels
like something is missing.”
Big Boi may have paid tribute
to his roots, but this concert was
ultimately about his new album, “Sir
Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico
Dusty.”
“Are you ready for some new

certainly was.

tell it. The play is driven completely
by his exceptional ability to relay
his emotions to the audience. It is in
the gleam and softness in his eyes
during the beginning of the first
act that one sees young George. In
the pure, raw anguish and pain in
his twinges and jerks as he is shot
repeatedly, one sees the man who
survived his ordeal. At one point, he
lifts his right shirtsleeve to expose
an approximately six- to eight-inch
scar left on his arm from one of the
gunshot wounds he suffered.
Seremba told The Herald that
“pretty much every minute” of his
performance is as emotional as the
corresponding real events. “That
signifies success, probably.”
Dul Johnson, an International
Writers Project visiting fellow and
scholar at the Watson Institute for
International Studies, “was quite
amazed that he could relive it without
actually breaking down,” he wrote in
an e-mail to The Herald.
“It’s definitely a cathartic experi-
ence,” Seremba said, adding that he
is motivated to speak for fellow Ugan-
dans who never lived to tell their tale.
“It becomes an easier thing to do,
since I’m alive and well and those
people aren’t,” he said. “I testify for
them as well as myself.”
coln Field before,” said one Bruno-
nian before disappearing back into
the crowd. Other students had the
opportunity to “booty-dance” on
stage with the artist himself dur-
ing the middle of his set.
Big Boi also had a projector
that showcased his music videos
throughout the concert. “His movies
are pretty good,” Sugar said. “It’s
impressive that he has one for each
song.”
But after his one-hour set, Big
Boi left the stage and did not return
for an encore, leaving most students
curious as to whether the concert
was over at just 8:30.
“Unfortunately with hip-hop art-
ists, they can be a bit unpredictable,”
said Abigail Schreiber ’11, the con-
cert agency’s booking chair. “I was
told by his agency that his set would
be about an hour, but I was surprised
he didn’t come out for an encore.”
Due to requests from campus
neighbors, the concert agency had
to ensure the concert was over by
nine, Schreiber said.
“I think they should have started
later,” Sugar said.
BCA invited Hinton to come back
on for a quick set after Big Boi, and
the dance party that commenced
was energetic but short-lived as se-
Margaret Namulyanga GS, an
MFA student in playwriting and a
Ugandan, was anxious to see the play
performed by the playwright, having
seen it performed once by a student
at Makerere University in Kampala,
Uganda.
Namulyanga saw a “stark dif-
ference” between the two shows.
“There was fervency from the actor
while he narrated the story,” she
wrote of Seremba’s performance in
an e-mail to The Herald. “I think it
comes from the writer/actor’s knowl-
edge of his story; the pain that was
inflicted on him, and all the low mo-
ments.”
Seremba hopes that, by giving his
own testimony, he educates audience
members on the trials of those “who
come from places that are teeming
with inhumanity,” he said. “Once
they know, then it’s up to them be-
cause you never know where the
next fire is going to be.”
During a post-performance dis-
cussion, a man who identified himself
as Gambian said he was troubled by
the state of many African nations
such as his own and skeptical of any
potential for hope or change on the
continent. Seremba’s response was
simple: “The alternative is bleaker
because pessimism never wins.”
curity guards began shooing people
from the green within 10 minutes.
Concert-goers expressed con-
cern over the lack of people at the
performance. “I’m surprised there
aren’t more people,” Larrick said.
“I mean, it’s Big Boi. He’s a bigger
name than they get for most fall
concerts.”
Compared to the Main Green,
many preferred Lincoln Field’s more
intimate stage. Several remarked
that they enjoyed the more enclosed
atmosphere.
“You do get an intimacy that
you don’t get on the Main Green,”
Schreiber said. “The vast majority
of the tickets were sold to Brown
students, so it really felt like a pri-
vate concert.”
“BCA couldn’t be happier,” Sch-
reiber added.
Fall Concert is usually much
smaller than its spring counterpart.
According to Schreiber, many peo-
ple told her they hadn’t even known
Fall Concert existed. This was one of
the reasons the concert agency was
excited to book Big Boi, she said.
“We certainly wanted to expand
the Fall Concert from years past,”
Schreiber said. “Mission accom-
plished: We were able to put it on
more people’s radars.”

Student occupation pushes performance-reality boundaries
By Fei Cai
Senior Staff Writer
On Dec. 17, 2008, over 100 students
barricaded themselves in a New
School cafeteria in protest. Their
goals: the resignation of unpopular
President Bob Kerrey and other head
administrators, more student participa-
tion in university decisions and more
student space, among other reforms.
Following the New School ex-
ample, student occupations spread
to California, the United Kingdom
and even Greece, wrote Mark Tribe,
assistant professor of modern culture
and media, in an e-mail to The Herald.
On Saturday at 5 p.m., students
from Brown and the Rhode Island
School of Design, along with alums
and graduate students, stormed into
Faunce House in the fashion of New
School students two years ago.
These students were participants
in a performance piece by Tribe, who
is also an artist and curator, and Ariel
Hudes ’11, a performance studies con-
centrator. The two decided to reenact
the occupation this weekend in the
Kasper Multipurpose Room in the
Stephen Robert ’62 Campus Center.
The project, titled “Re: Occupa-
tion,” is a two-part piece that includes
a participatory performance event and
a video installation based on the New
School occupation, according to Tribe.
The performance will be recorded and
presented as a multi-screen video at
the Aronson Gallery across from the
New School in New York City this
fall. The video will also be shown at
the MK Gallery in Zagreb, Croatia,
next summer.
Tribe created the piece for the Ar-
onson Gallery, which commissioned
him to contribute to the “Shape of
Change” exhibition Oct. 30–Nov. 9,
Hudes said.
Hudes proposed the idea of re-
enactment after she watched unre-
leased video footage Tribe found of
the event. She wrote in an e-mail to
The Herald that she “honed in on the
idea of ‘performance of protest’ ” and
became interested in “separating the
words/people/space of the original
occupation.”
Tribe was more interested in
thinking about the occupation as an
instance of radicalization and even
a performance, he wrote. “To some
extent, occupations are performances;
reenacting an occupation has the po-
tential to make that performativity
explicit, to open it up to a different
kind of exploration.”
Tribe and Hudes decided to reen-
act the occupation at Brown because
of the University’s long history of
student activism, according to Tribe.
“The eruptions of 1968 culminated in
Brown’s adoption of a progressive new
curriculum drafted by students and,
in 1985, students erected shanties and
staged hunger strikes to protest the
University’s investments in companies

wrote.
Tribe has worked on a number of
performance-video projects and has
staged a series of six public reenact-
ments of historical protest speeches
from the Vietnam War era’s New Left
movements.
This reenactment consisted of a
group of actors who played activists
from the original occupation and many
extras to flesh out the project. Hudes
created the scenario based on the un-
released footage and ethnography
written by some of the occupiers.
“We hope to complicate the bound-
aries between art and politics, artifice
and everyday life, mediated represen-
tation and immediate experience,”

Squad remains undefeated after weekend victories
By Zach Bahr
Sports Editor
BOSTON — This weekend was a
true early-season test for the men’s
soccer team (4-0-2). The Bears wel-
comed a nationally ranked oppo-
nent to Stevenson Field on Friday
and then went on the road to face
a squad looking for an upset. But
Brown preserved its unbeaten re-
cord after securing wins against
both No. 24 Indiana (3-3) and Bos-
ton University (3-3-1).
Brown 2, No. 24 Indiana 1
Bruno was up against a peren-
nial national powerhouse on Friday
night. The Hoosiers have appeared
in 34 national tournaments all-time
and have been crowned national
champions seven times. But Brown
handed the Hoosiers a 2-1 defeat
after a late goal by for ward Sean
Rosa ’12.5.
“I think it’s a great feeling. They
are as good a team as we’ve seen in
a long time,” said defender David
Walls ’11. “It’s the first time we’ve
been behind this year.”
A wet field proved problematic
for both teams early on, with many
players falling. But Indiana’s Andy
Adlard scored midway through the
first half. The goal was the first
allowed by Paul Grandstrand ’11
this season.
The Bears would settle into their
game during the second half. Just
five minutes in, midfielder Thomas
McNamara ’13 hammered a shot
into the back of the net from 15
yards out.
With less than 10 minutes re-
maining, it looked like the game
was going to end in a draw. But
the Bears were able to connect, as
a pass to Rosa found the back of an
empty Indiana net. Hoosier goalie
Luis Soffner was still on the ground
after diving for an attempted shot
by Brown.
“It feels amazing,” Rosa said
about his game-winning goal.

where the keeper got my first one,

The intensity was high through-
out the matchup. Several hard slide
tackles were made by both teams,
but no cards were shown by the
referee. After some exchanging
of words between both squads, a
member of the Indiana team at-
tempted to tackle the ball out of
midfielder John Okafor’s ’11 hands.
After the game, the head coach-
es reflected on the close contest.
“Players executed the plays
ver y well,” said Head Coach Pat
Laughlin. “There was never a mo-
ment where we weren’t playing
well. Total team effort.”
Things were not as bright on
Indiana’s sideline.
“You know, tonight we obviously
didn’t play our best game,” said
Indiana Head Coach Todd Yeagley.
“Brown was able to capitalize on
our mistakes.”
Brown 2, Boston University 0
Sunday evening’s matchup at
Nickerson Field was an ugly one
for both teams. Ultimately, under
the lights in Boston, the Bears were
able to overcome first-half difficul-
ties to secure the victory.
“It was a tough game.” Laughlin
said. “We knew that coming off of
the Indiana game and the amount
of energy needed, it was going to
be tough.”
The story of the night was the
depth of the Brown bench. Nine-
teen Bears saw action on the night,
with both goals being scored by
reserve players.
Forward T.J. Popolizio ’12 fired
in the first goal after a long pass
from Grandstrand, and midfielder
Bobby Belair ’13 knocked in a head-
er from midfielder Jay Hayward
’12 to give the Bears a two-goal
advantage, which stood until the
final whistle.
Bruno had trouble passing in
the first half, and the Terriers were
able to control the ball for a major-

the abilities of Grandstrand. But a
BU penalty kick missed high, and
a shot on goal ricocheted off the
crossbar, keeping the Terriers off
the scoreboard.
Laughlin noted his team’s early
struggles.
“We only had one practice on the
turf field, and I think it showed,”
Laughlin said. “But once we settled
down, these guys were able to get
it done.”
Brown’s shutout effort was led
by defender Ryan McDuff ’13, who
cleared several attempts by the op-
posing team in frenetic stretches
near the Bears’ goal.
“It’s humbling,” McDuff said
of being such a young leader for
the team. “Week in and week out,
we young guys have to bring the
energy and maturity. We have to
learn how to practice so that we
get the most out of it.”

Team wins two of four during weekend of Brown Invitational
By Ashley McDonnell
Assistant Sports Editor
In preparation for conference play,
the volleyball team (5-6) hosted
the Brown Invitational this week-
end, managing to win two of its
four games.
The Bears suffered a tough 3-2
loss to the University of Rhode
Island (9-3) in the first matchup
but then managed to turn right
around and dominate Holy Cross
(5-11) with a 3-0 victor y. On Sat-
urday, Brown repeated the previ-
ous night’s performance, starting
with a sweep of Central Connecticut
State (2-7), but then ended up on
the other side of the spectrum, los-
ing in straight sets against Boston
College (8-5).
“All the teams in this tournament
were even, and I knew it would be a
really good experience,” said Head
Coach Diane Short. “We’re trying
to prepare for Ivy League play.”

in the second set and won by a slim
margin, 25-22. The momentum

with a 25-16 victory.

and into the end zone. In double over-

and the team was forced to settle for
a field goal, leaving the door open for
Brown to capitalize.
After two crucial defensive penal-
ties by Stony Brook — a roughing-
the-passer violation and a pass in-
terference — Tronti took the ball in
on 2nd and goal from the one-yard
line, prompting the Bears’ sideline
to erupt and storm the field in cel-
ebration.
The Bears might not have had a
chance without an electrifying kick-
return touchdown by Mark Kachmer
’13 with 6:03 remaining in the third
quarter. Stony Brook had just capital-
ized with a touchdown off a Brown
turnover to pull ahead 20-10, but
the return pulled Bruno back into
the game. On the ensuing kickoff,
Kachmer took the ball along the left
hash mark, broke free from a tackle
at his own 30-yard line and sprinted
91 yards for a touchdown, shifting
the momentum back to the Bears
at an important juncture early in the
second half.
The comeback
Less than three minutes into the
game, Stony Brook struck first on a
67-yard pass on its first offensive play.
But the Bears clawed back.
After a 30-yard field goal by Alex
Norocea ’14 put the Bears on the
board, Brown scored its first touch-
a decisive fifth set, which they won
15-10.
“They’re a good team,” said set-
ter Alexandra Rieckhoff ’14, who
had 42 assists. “We should have
beat them in four, but we played
well.”
The matchup had a particular
importance for Short.
“It was heartbreaking” to lose to
“my alma mater,” Short said. She
said she believes that the team “ran
into some problems” at the end of
the game.
“There were some momentum
changes that worked against us,”
Short said. “And we kept serving
to their best passer. But there were
lots of digs, and it could have gone
either way.”
Brown 3, Holy Cross 0
Less than an hour later, the
Bears battled Holy Cross and man-
aged to put the recent past behind
them. Brown won both the first and
second set by the score of 25-19.
In the third frame, the Crusaders
came their closest to edging past
the Bears, but Brown won 25-21,
sweeping Holy Cross.
“It was one of our better-serving
games,” Short said. “The confi-
dence level was high throughout
the match.”

from the 16, Springer connected with
receiver Jimmy Saros ’12 in the back
corner of the end zone to take a 10-7
lead with 11:53 remaining in the half.
Springer put the ball where only his
man could pull it in, and Saros obliged
with an athletic leaping catch for the
score with a defender on his back.
The Seawolves answered right
back with another long scoring play
as Jackolski took the ball 47 yards
up the middle to take back the lead,
14-10, going into halftime.
With 5:33 remaining in the 20-
20 ballgame, the Seawolves looked
poised to seize the victory, as they ef-
ficiently moved the ball to the Brown
11-yard line. But inside linebacker
and tri-captain Andrew Serrano ’11
jumped a route and picked off a Coul-
ter pass near the goal line. Serrano
was the defensive star of the game,
finishing with 12 tackles and a sack

Prop 8 decision about justice,

not popularity
To the Editor:
In his column “What Brown can
learn from Prop 8” (Sept. 10), Ter-
rence George ’13 argues that Califor-
nia’s vote on Prop 8 was “democracy
in action” and should have been up-
held. George is right that Prop 8 won
the popular vote, but that is not suf-
ficient for democracy. Less than half
of California’s population cast a vote
on that proposition, and those that
did were subject to million-dollar
campaigns on either side. Religious
groups rallied around the country to
make sure Californians didn’t make
what they considered the wrong de-
cision. Is this “democracy in action”?
Separate branches of govern-
ment are part of ensuring that de-
mocracy works. American history is
filled with examples of laws based on
popular but wrong beliefs that have
changed with time. This is precisely
why the courts exist. As for Prop 8, I
believe California’s laws should not
restrict the freedoms of citizens in
favor of defending a tradition. The
Constitution serves primarily the
citizens and not the institutions that
others hope to maintain, even if the
others are a majority. We risk a dan-
gerous precedent otherwise.
Brown is a bubble, but a liberal
education teaches us to see beyond
it, including the difference between
popularity and justice.

Ch-ch-ch-changing the campus and the college
BY WILLIAM TOMASKO
Opinions Columnist
When I started my sophomore year of high
school, I felt like a freshman again. That was
because my school had substantially reno-
vated its campus, meaning that more than
half of the building was brand new when
school started in September.
Our faculty advisers led their advisee
groups in tours around the new facilities,
but it took me much more than that one in-
troduction to feel like I knew my way around
the school. I routinely got lost. I could count
on walking out of the new stairwell and en-
tering the wrong floor. This shouldn’t be
happening anymore, I would grumble. Since
I’d advanced to sophomore year, I didn’t
think I still deserved to feel disoriented at
school.
Now, having started my second year at
Brown, those bewildered feelings came
stampeding back when I encountered the
new campus center in Faunce House. For
example, when I try to leave the building,
I almost always go out the wrong door and
end up on Waterman Street when I’m aim-
ing for the Main Green, or vice versa. I’ve
found it’s nearly impossible to gracefully re-
cover by pretending I’d intended to stand
outside the door for a few seconds, stare at
my surroundings in confusion and then go
back inside.
This confusion might help explain why,
at a meeting for a student group where we
by Yue Wang
Opinions Columnist
The result of a recent nationwide survey in Ja-
pan shocked the nation’s psyche and put a dent
in its pride for its people’s renowned longevity:
in the country with one of the world’s larg-
est populations over the age of one hundred,
234,000 Japanese centenarians listed in govern-
ment records are now reported missing and
may have died long ago. Some walked away
from home and their children didn’t bother to
report their disappearance, some died alone at
home and went undiscovered by neighbors and
some deaths were deliberately concealed so
that surviving relatives could continue to col-
lect the deceased’s pension or social security
checks. Despite long-time advocacy among
many in the west of Japanese-style healthy
diets and robust health care system, their old
people’s salubrious lifestyle and the excellent
health services the public offers them by no
means justify the neglect and poor care the
elderly are supposed to get from the people
closest to them — families and neighbors.
My thoughts could not help but fly to my fellow
Brown students, as absurd as it may sound.
Brown students were ranked as the happiest
in the United States in 2009 by the Princeton
Review, and being a Brunonian almost cer-
tainly means being positive and self-fulfilled.
Yet beneath that invincibility of youth that sets
Brown campus far apart from a nation full of
centenarians, there is an underreported mental
went around in a circle and introduced our-
selves, I accidentally said I was a freshman.
Maybe it helps explain why I did the same
thing at a discussion section, too.
Still, while the new construction might be
disorienting at first, I know it’s an improve-
ment. I enjoy having the campus center as
an appealing option for studying and social-
izing, and so do many other students. More-
over, the new Blue Room is vastly more con-
venient now, thanks to its expanded hours
and the fact that we can sometimes pay with
meal credits.
While change can be jarring, its arrival can be
made easier when the people it affects can
clearly see the reasons behind it and feel as if
their input has been considered in the process.
Another encouraging aspect of the con-
struction is process-related. According to
a Herald article describing the new facility
(“Coffee and couches: New campus center
debuts,” Sept. 1), “five main priorities” for
the space “came out of the discussions dur-
ing community forums and planning com-
mittee meetings.” Students and staff had op-
portunities to suggest the need for longer
Blue Room hours and a community space
for casual gatherings.

health issue among our students. Discussions
concerning the mental health of Brown stu-
dents are rare on this campus. Although I am
not questioning that Brown students are given
the opportunities to lead a happier life than
other college students, the mirth and felicity
we associate with youth and Ivy League life
should not be taken for granted.
Recalling my two years of life at Brown, I
have been surprised and always distressed
by the high number of friends and classmates
taking leaves due to mental health issues,
and in most cases, it usually took me a long
time to figure out that some friends are no
longer around until the truth was quietly and

discreetly whispered during a dinner chat
with their closest friends. However partial
my experience may be, the existing problems
with mental health of the student body deserve
our attention.
The good news is that Brown psychological
services recently hired a new psychothera-
pist after a report showed that its resources
were lower than peer colleges, which means
that from now on, students’ limited free psy-
chotherapy sessions are increased from five

boast, “You asked. We listened,” when they
list the improvements to the Blue Room,
demonstrating that the administration is
pleased with its responsiveness to commu-
nity demand.
Personally, I don’t remember being in-
vited to participate in any of those “commu-
nity forums” — but then again, they might
have taken place before my freshman year,
or maybe I just don’t read Brown Morning
Mail announcements carefully enough. Still,
the University’s apparent use of community
engagement as a step in setting its priorities
is reassuring.
A similar example of a transparent, inclu-
sive process is the creation of Brown’s new
website. The Herald recently reported that,
during the two-year development process,
“designers and administrators distributed
online surveys and publicized decisions on
a redesign blog” (“After years, U. website
gets facelift,” Sept. 8). The new design re-
flects the input of more than 1,800 online
survey participants.
Changes such as the revamped website,
times to seven times per year. It also means
a much shortened wait for a counseling ses-
sion. I praise the University’s awareness of the
importance of student mental health and its
willingness to better staff the psych service.
But I doubt that the mere increase of a psy-
chotherapist solves all our problems.
First of all, it doesn’t address the psych ser-
vices’ lack of resources. If the psychotherapy
session is the only professional, confidential
and intimate way to tackle students’ mental
health issues, the one-to-one session appears
to be inefficient and insufficient in dealing
with a large number of students in need and
sometimes seems too formal to those with less
concrete and acute issues. So in addition to
increasing the availability of psychotherapists
as a way to maintain students’ mental health,
another step that could be taken by the Uni-
versity is to expand the education of mental
health for students. For example, lectures or
panels could be run by experts on topics such
as stress management and relationship build-
ing, etc., so that a large group of students could
be exposed to knowledge of how to manage
a stressful academic and personal life and be
the new Blue Room and a campus center
certainly can be great improvements. In
general, while change can be jarring, its ar-
rival can be made easier when the people it
affects can clearly see the reasons behind it
and feel as if their input has been considered
in the process.
Allowing for generous amounts of pub-
lic input also helps foster trust between the
administration and the rest of the commu-
nity. Recent opinions columns in The Her-
ald have sparred over the intentions of Pres-
ident Ruth Simmons and the Corporation
(“Brown, Inc.,” Sept. 10 and “In defense of
Brown, Inc.,” Sept. 13).
According to columnist Simon Liebling
’12, the new construction projects are “evi-
dence of an administrative addiction out of
control” — he says that the University is
“callous” to pursue renovation while laying
off workers and increasing tuition.
Whether or not Liebling’s impression is
accurate, the fact that he, and presumably
others, feel so alienated by the adminis-
tration means that the University ought to
make its intentions clearer and somehow
let students and staff feel more invested in
changes around campus.
For me at least, I know that I can
feel like less of a newcomer or outsid-
er when I know that I have and that I can
play a part in developing my community.

aware of self-help tools, even prior to the stage
of crisis where private counseling becomes
urgently necessary.
More importantly, however, the school isn’t
the first or the best place we should look to if
we are to tackle the problem. Back to the story
of the Japanese centenarians: it is true that no
matter how comprehensive and excellent the
system designed by government is in providing
care to the elderly, social networks, by which I
mean families and friends, are always the most
trustworthy and intimate for an individual to
rely on. And when networks that are supposed
to work and assist individuals fail, even the
most superior public services cannot help. The
same goes for Brown students. We don’t have
to doubt the commitment by the University
or the dedication and professionalism of the
fantastic and helpful people at psych services,
but we know earlier and better about our fel-
low students than University officials. There
is some guilt on all of us when we fail to reach
out to our friends, detect their problems, and
help them at their time of need.
As a past wall post in a Rock restroom says:
I wish people really meant it when they ask
“How are you?” So call up a friend of whom
you seem to have lost track, including on
Facebook, ask them how they are doing and
really mean it. Because that is what a friend
is supposed to do.
