Rep. Kennedy discusses health care
By Alex Bell
Staff Writer
Community members ranging from
students to concerned citizens and
from physicians to disgruntled po-
liticos poured in to Andrews Hall
Monday afternoon to hear a panel
that included Rep. Patrick Ken-
nedy, D-R.I., speak on health-care
reform.
The event, which was the last
in the Paul Levinger Health Care
Reform Roundtable Series, focused
on health-care reform from a po-
litical perspective. The other pan-
‘Decrepit’ cable system
soon to be on way out
By Anne Speyer
Senior Staff Writer
Cable television on campus may have
survived past its expected expiration
date, but according to Richard Bova,
senior associate dean of residential
life and dining services, the system
will not last another year.
Administrators originally planned
to shut down the cable network and
switch to an entirely IPTV-based tele-
vision access system during the sum-
mer of 2009. Bova said this plan was
based on the assumption that reno-
vations to Faunce House, where the
cable infrastructure is centered, would
interfere with cable access on campus,
which turned out not to be true.
But Bova said the cable infrastruc-
ture, which has been in place since
1980, is “aging and decrepit and fall-
ing apart” — and will be shut down
in June 2010.

elists were Dean of Medicine and
Biological Sciences Edward Wing,
Professor of Community Health and
department chair Vincent Mor and
Erin Kelly ’07 MD ’11. The event was
temporarily disrupted by an irate
audience member, who was wrestled
to the floor and arrested by Brown
police after refusing to relinquish
the microphone.

rounding health care reform.

“While the cable system is nice
for a TV, only a portion of the listings
are available,” Bova added.
When the cable system goes off
air, students will have to rely on IPTV,
which provides streaming television
access over the Internet, to watch
their favorite programs.
Students wishing to watch televi-
sion on an actual TV will have to pur-
chase or rent a set-top box to convert
IPTV streaming.
“Other Ivies who have IPTV and
provide set-top boxes have found that
demand is very low,” Bova said.
“Many students go to Hulu or
Fox and catch up that way,” he said.
“I think students’ viewing habits are
changing.”

NIH gives researchers W. hockey falls to St. Cloud twice

grant to study JC virus
By Liz Kelley
Contributing Writer
The National Institutes of Health
has awarded Brown a five-year, $6
million grant to perform research
that will determine how the JC
virus attaches to host cells in
the brain. Professor of Medical
Science Walter Atwood, who has
researched the virus since 1991,
is leading the project, along with
researchers at Dartmouth and
the University of Tubingen in
Germany.
“The grant brings money into
the local area,” said Rahul Baner-
jee ’10, who works in the lab with
Atwood. “It promotes collabora-
tion between labs and opens new
facilities to Brown.”
About 80 percent of the popu-
lation has been exposed to the
virus, but most people possess
antibodies for the vir us, and
their immune systems prevent
it from causing damage, Baner-
jee said.
“The idea is to look at the sur-
face of the virus now, and tr y
to understand what parts of the
virus interact with the receptors
on the cell,” Atwood said in a
University press release.
Patients with compromised
immune systems, including
those with HIV/AIDS, are espe-
cially vulnerable and can develop
a brain disorder if exposed to
the virus, according to the press
release. The brain disorder —
known as progressive multifocal
leukoencephalopathy — causes
victims to lose all brain function
and cognitive ability, Banerjee
said, adding that there is no vac-
cine or cure for the disease.
Atwood and his team will fo-
cus on how the JC virus gets into
the brain and attacks neurons.
They are working with cell lines
that are highly susceptible to the
virus and are looking to find a
means of slowing down the pro-
cess by which PML develops,
Banerjee said.

The women’s hockey team found its
offense over the weekend but still
suffered a pair of one-goal losses to
St. Cloud State.
Taking a break from ECAC play
to host a Western Collegiate Hock-
ey Association opponent, the Bears
scored more than three goals in a
two-game span for the first time since
their opening weekend, but fell to
the Huskies by the scores of 5-4 on
Friday and 3-2 on Saturday at Meehan
Auditorium.
“We’ve really been struggling with
scoring this season,” said Samantha
Stortini ’11. “So to score four goals in
the first game and two goals (Satur-
day) was a huge boost of confidence
for our team. We know we can score
now, so hopefully we’ll take that into
next week.”
Bruno was doomed by five SCSU
power-play goals, succumbing to a
recurring problem to fall to 1-8-3 on
the season.
“It’s tough to be playing all the
time on the penalty kill,” said Sasha
Van Muyen ’10. “It’s hard to get any-
thing going because you have certain
kids out there all the time and you get
tired. We need to be more disciplined

Kromm, who leads Brown with five
points on the season in her first year
as a forward.
But the Huskies answered 43 sec-
onds into the third period and took a
4-2 lead six minutes later.
Bruno once again rallied to tie the
game. Kelly Griffin ’13 scored her
second goal of the season at 13:49,
with the assists going to Jenna Dance-
wicz ’11 and Pyett.

from Stortini.
“My two linemates (Erin Connors
’10 and Katelyn Landry ’12) were
busting to the net, so I was trying
to get a shot to get a rebound, and it
ended up going in,” Van Muyen said.
Often “when we get down a goal or
two, we kind of just deflate a bit.”
This time, the Bears had tied the
game with 5:05 left in regulation.
“It was definitely a big confidence
boost for the team,” Dancewicz said.
“We all got a second wind.”
But minutes later a controversial
goal won the game for the Huskies.
Brown goalie Katie Jamieson
showing the previous day. “(We)
thought of that and had a little bit of
extra strength and grit to go into the
second game and know that we could
score and that we could play with
such a good team,” she said.
SCSU tied the game on a power-
play goal with 7:58 left in the first pe-
riod. The score remained 1-1 through
the second intermission, as Joy Joung
’11, making her first career start be-
tween the pipes, made 10 of her 22
saves in the first period.
But the Huskies took the lead 6:23
into the third period when they broke
away for a shorthanded goal. They
doubled their advantage 3:13 later on
a power-play goal, marking their third
goal of the game on special teams.
“A big part of the game now is
special teams, so we have to be care-
ful,” Stortini said, citing a general
crackdown by the referees to open
up offenses. “We have to capitalize
more on our opportunities when we
get power plays.”
The Bears tried to rally one more
time. With 5:15 remaining, Dancewicz
cut the deficit in half. Pyett passed to

on their 0-5-3 conference record.
“We have to go in there with confi-
dence and know that we can play with
all of these teams,” Stortini said. “We
know now that we can score goals,
and we’ve always known that we can
play defense.”
Dancewicz said winning the first
face-off and crashing the net would
be crucial. “We just have to keep up
the pressure, keep our heads up,
keep our confidence, and I think we
should pull away with some big W’s

Riedel ’75: Afghan
war a ‘disaster’
By Leonardo Moauro
Contributing Writer
Former CIA officer Bruce Riedel ’75
forecasted a bleak outlook for the po-
litical situation in both Afghanistan
and Pakistan to the Watson Insti-
tute’s Joukowsky Forum, which was
packed to capacity Monday night.
Currently a senior foreign policy
fellow at the Brookings Institution,
Riedel was an influential White
House adviser in Middle Eastern
affairs until his retirement from
government in 2006. Though he is
briefly resuming his role as adviser
on Afghanistan and Pakistan at the
request of President Barack Obama,
Riedel addressed the audience as an
independent speaker.
Riedel focused his talk on terror-
ism and foreign policy in Afghani-
stan and Pakistan, emphasizing al-
Qaida’s presence in the region.
“President Obama has inherited
a disaster from his predecessor,”
Riedel said, “and faces the most
difficult decision, I think, of his
administration” — namely, how to
deal with the war in Afghanistan and
the possible failure of Pakistan to
survive its political instability.
The stabilization of both Afghani-
stan and Pakistan is on the White
House’s main agenda, Riedel said.
The course of action Riedel rec-
ommends for the U.S. is necessarily
“resource intensive,” he said. De-
ploying one soldier to Afghanistan
for a year costs about $1 million, he
added. The strategy also involves
tripling economic aid to Pakistan,
which would make it the largest
U.S. economic assistance program
in the world.
If this strategy proves to be
effective, the U.S. will be able to
work with a more stable region and
a weaker al-Qaida 20 months from
now, Riedel said, and Afghanistan’s
government will be strong enough
to deal with the Taliban effectively.
If the strategy fails, “the Taliban will
take over southern and eastern Af-
ghanistan,” he said, and the ripple
effect throughout the region will
be disastrous.
Riedel painted a pessimistic
picture of the current state of the
Afghan war. “Eight years after the
fall of Kabul,” he said, NATO “is
losing the war.” The rate of bomb-
ings in the country has skyrocketed
since 2002, he said, and the Taliban
have direct command over one-third
of Afghan territory.
As a result of its “disastrous”
elections, Riedel added, the coun-
try has a government that lacks
legitimacy in the eyes of both the
Afghan people and the world at
large. “Karzai and his associates
cheated massively,” he said, and
the UN did nothing about it.
But Riedel also said the Taliban’s
influence over Afghanistan’s people
is somewhat limited. “The Taliban
aspires to be an Islamist jihadist or-
ganization,” he said, but is in fact an
organization that seeks to impose
Pashtun customs. “There are a ma-
jority of Afghans that, by definition,
reject it,” he said.
The situation in Pakistan, which
Riedel called “the most dangerous
country in the world today,” is even
more complicated, he said. As the
country struggles to transition from
a military dictatorship to democracy,
“Pakistan is undergoing the most
serious violence in its history,” he
said.
Riedel also addressed Pakistan’s
relationship with the terrorist or-
ganizations active on its borders,
claiming that the country is hos-
tile toward some groups while on
friendly terms with others, like the
Taliban.
The war in Afghanistan is plac-
ing the U.S. in a vulnerable position
internationally, Riedel said. Eighty
percent of NATO troops rely on sup-
plies that are shipped in through
Pakistani ports, he added.
Riedel wrapped up his lecture
by looking to the future: Obama’s
speech on the war in Afghanistan
Tuesday night. The president has
to be sure that his administration
fully supports the war, he said, be-
cause a half-hearted effort would
be insufficient.
“He has to convince you and me
that he has totally bought into this,”
Riedel said.

prizes for attending a certain number
of BrowNation-sponsored games.
The group has also tried to boost
attendance by hosting the Mega-
Bowl, a competition in which varsity
athletic teams compete against each
another to attend the most games.
According to Riner, BrowNation,
which boasts between 700 and 800
members, has made significant
progress in improving school spirit
among students.
“The culture around athletics and
the enthusiasm is definitely chang-
ing,” he said.
Goldberger called BrowNation
“the driving force” behind the ef-
fort to get more students to attend
home games.
“We had more fans this year,
which is pretty exciting,” said Leslie
Springmeyer ’12, a member of the
women’s field hockey team. “When
you have more fans on the field, it’s
definitely more of a motivation for
the players.”
Peter Sullivan ’11, a captain of the
men’s basketball team, has also seen
an increase in his team’s fan base,
but said the crowd at games is still
composed mostly of players’ friends
and families. “When I look in the
stands and look at all the students,
I know most of them,” he said. “But
there are also people I know who are
basketball fans.”
Some students interviewed by

Wallace ’13.
“Kids make Facebook event

“People will say, ‘Oh, I would have

“I think a lot of the non-athlete stu-

likely to come out to events and try
new experiences.”

Spicing up the Ratty,

blogspot.com are the twins’, they
“want to make it a huge database,”
Connie said. “It wouldn’t just be
our blog, it would be ever yone
at Brown’s.”
“It you’re nerdy enough and
analyze your food, I think any-
one can be a good cook,” Connie
added.
The sisters’ love for edible cre-
ations began in seventh grade,
when they took a cooking class
and enjoyed their first taste of the
culinary world, Connie said.
But their appetite for fun with
food didn’t end in the kitchen.
During their senior year of high
school, the twins started their
first food blog: “Artful Food,” a
collection of photos and com-
mentary about the creations they
cooked up.
“It’s really immersing yourself
in food,” Connie said, “trying to
imagine what it tastes like.”
After starting their freshman
year at Brown, the twins found
that they “really missed baking,”
Annie said. To satisfy their urge
to create delicious concoctions,
the sisters started their second
blog, “Ratty Gourmet.”
Annie had heard that “after a
while” the selection at the Ratty
seems “drab,” she said. “A big
part of that is presentation.” The
twins hope their new blog —
replete with striking photos —
“make it a little more appealing,
more appetizing,” Annie said.
Originally, they wanted to
share their recipes and photos in
a newsletter, but due to the costs
of printing and distribution, they
decided a blog was easier, Con-
nie said.
The costs and complications of
printing color photos were key to
their decision, Annie said, calling
the blog “super convenient.”
In the past, the Ratty has tried
to create a place to house student
recipes that used its ingredients,
Connie said. But because of the
excessive number of recipes the
binder accumulated and the pro-
pensity for food to splatter on it,
the idea didn’t pan out.
Though the pair works at the
Ratty on Saturdays, their passion
for food goes beyond the walls of
Brown’s main dining hall. Both
sisters are avid viewers of the
Food Network, citing “Diners,
Drive-Ins and Dives,” “Good Eats”
and “Chopped” as some of their
favorites.
In “Chopped,” chefs compete
against the clock and each other
to create a dish from a basket full
of mystery ingredients that, when
revealed, initially seem like an
odd combination of flavors.
“It reminds me of the Ratty,”
Connie said. “You have all these
ingredients waiting to be discov-
ered.”
Connie is currently taking
BIOL0190E: “Botanical Roots of
Modern Medicine” and is writing
a paper about “how tea affects
appetite,” she said. She also cre-
ated a meatball mask in a studio
foundation art class.
“Food is going to be a huge
part of my life no matter what I
do,” Connie said.
THE BROWN DAILY HERALD
“In the final analysis, all of us are children of God.”
Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., said limits to health care access present “a threat” to how we view ourselves.

“Isn’t there something perverse
when some people matter more than
other people because they happen to
have a different card in their wallet
or happen to be perceived by the
way they look to be more impor-
tant in society?” Kennedy asked the
audience.
“In the final analysis, all of us are
children of God,” he continued. “All
of us have that spark of divinity. If
any one of us is denied health care,
it really is a threat to who we call
ourselves as human beings.”
Wing provided a practical argu-
ment for health care reform by con-
trasting different countries’ systems,
many of which cost about half that
of the U.S.’s.
He said countries such as France
and Japan have reduced the cost of
health care in large part through

government regulation.
“The average length of a hospital
stay in Japan is 36 days and in our
country it’s six days,” Wing said.
“The way they control the cost is
by government regulation of those
prices.”
He said that medical profes-
sionals make less money in such

regulation.
An alternative way of controlling
costs while increasing accessibility
is through rationing care, like in the
United Kingdom and Canada, ac-
cording to Wing.
He said that systems that pro-
vide for universal coverage allow
for more preventative care, which
ultimately can save costs while in-
creasing quality. The downside to
such systems can be long waiting
lines for care.

“Grappling with that issue of
what it means for one person ver-
sus what it means for the population
is a struggle that Americans aren’t
used to making, and we do not trust
our government to decide that for
us,” he said.
Kennedy interjected to say that
care is already rationed in America
by insurance companies, and that
the health care system could only do
better to have that process managed
by elected representatives instead.
Kelly, a PLME student who con-
centrated in political science and has
expertise in health policy, addressed
the debate over a public option.
“The government is already

Medicare and Medicaid,” she said.
“And it’s worked quite successfully
in providing competition.”
Mor added that he does not be-

enough power through a public op-
tion to set prices in a way that would
endanger private industries.
Kennedy said a chiropractor in
the audience who asked how the
government would incentivize doc-
tors not to order unnecessary proce-
dures “hit the nail on the head.”
“Trying to right the ship and turn
it around is very difficult,” Kennedy
said, referring to the monetary in-
centives that can exist for doctors to
order unneeded treatments.
But now that consumers and em-
ployers are aware of the way this
tendency drives up their premiums,
he said he hopes they will advocate
against it.
The discussion came to a tense
standoff when Providence Demo-
cratic mayoral challenger Chris
Young stepped up to the microphone
to voice his religious and moral ob-
jections to abortion. After shouting
at Kennedy about the link between
abortion and what he called “ethnic
cleansing” of blacks, Young, who
also clashed with police during a
protest on the Main Green over Fall
Weekend, approached the represen-
tative and threw him a DVD about
the subject.
After Young was wrestled to the
floor, handcuffed and removed from
the building by police, the discussion
proceeded peacefully.

Providence Police Dept. buys 92 new BlackBerry phones
The Providence Police Department is
unleashing a new weapon in the fight against
crime — the BlackBerry Curve. According to a
Monday press release from the Office of the Chief
of Police, 92 supervisory staff members have
been issued the phones as part of a “long-term
strategy of putting real-time tools in everyday
policing.”
The BlackBerry phones, which were purchased
with money from the Edward Byrne Memorial
Justice Assistant Grant, will provide officers with
immediate access to crime bulletins as they are
updated throughout the day, according to the
press release. Officers can also use the phones’
camera function to document evidence in assault
cases and instantly communicate with other
officers in the department.
“I am impressed with the vast amount of
information available to me in real time with the
BlackBerry,” said Youth Services Sgt. Carl Weston
in the press release. “I don’t have to be in front of
my computer at headquarters to have access to
critical information.”

beds to homeless shelters
By George Miller
Metro Editor
Rhode Island has enjoyed a warm
autumn, but the approach of winter
has caused the state to increase the
number of beds at homeless shelters
— a measure that advocates for the
state’s growing homeless population
say won’t be enough.
Homeless shelters in Westerly,
Woonsocket, Pawtucket and Provi-
dence now have 88 additional beds,
which will remain until spring, said
Noreen Shawcross, the head of the
director.
According to the coalition’s data,
the state’s homeless population has
been growing — the number of
people using emergency services
increased from 925 in October 2008
to 1,518 this October — so the deficit
is likely to grow, Ryczek said.
The coalition held a press confer-
ence and rally last week to alert the
state to the shortage and is waiting
for a response to a letter requesting
a meeting with the governor.
“At a basic level, we’d like them

Relatives of fire victims to get $8 mil.
By Ben Schreckinger
Senior Staf f Writer
A report filed last week with the
U.S. District Court in Rhode Island
proposed a benefits distribution
system for minor children of the
victims of the 2003 Station night-
club fire that claimed 100 lives.
The report, authored by court-
appointed Special Master William
Poore, uses a point system to al-
locate nearly $8.3 million among
the 41 minors whose parents died
in the fire, an average of about
$200,000. It allocates an additional
$4.7 million among the 30 children
of deceased victims who are no
longer minors, an average of about
$150,000.
In addition, 17 children of vic-
tims who survived the fire would
receive a total of $1.5 million, or
an average of $91,000.
The fire broke out at the West
Warwick nightclub during a per-
formance by the hard rock band
Great White, when the band’s
manager set off a pyrotechnics dis-
play that ignited sound-proofing
material on the club’s walls. The
manager pled guilty to 100 counts
of involuntar y manslaughter in
Februar y 2006. In September of
that year, the club’s owners agreed
to a plea bargain and were also
convicted on 100 counts of invol-
untary manslaughter.
Poore used the point system
proposed earlier this year by Spe-
cial Master Francis McGovern, a
professor of law at Duke Univer-
sity, for deciding the size of each
claimant’s settlement. Under the
system, which Poore’s report calls
“eminently fair” and “remarkably
consistent,” children would re-
ceive marginally larger awards for
each year under the age of 18 they
were at the time of the fire.
These awards would make up
just a small portion of the $176
million settlement of the civil class
action suit that followed the fire.
The damages are to be paid by
17 groups of defendants, includ-
ing the club’s owners, the town
of West War wick and Anheuser
Busch.
According to the report, one-
third of the total $176 million in
damages will go to the plaintiffs’
attorneys. Poore, an attorney
with Providence-based Poore and
Rosenbaum LLP, called the fee
“standard and reasonable within
the legal profession” in the re-
port. The report goes on to state
that the case required an unusual
amount of effort and financial risk
on the part of the attorneys.
The nearly $60 million in at-
torney fees will be split by seven
Rhode Island law firms and the
Boston-based Cooley Manion
Jones LLP.
“The complexity of this litiga-
tion was perhaps unparalleled in
this jurisdiction,” Poore wrote.
state’s Office of Housing and Com-
munity Development. The state is
funding 58 of the beds, while the Ro-
man Catholic Diocese of Providence
and the United Way are providing
the remaining 30. Statewide, there
are about 610 emergency beds for
the homeless, Shawcross said.
The state provides additional
beds annually when colder weather
approaches.
“We’re always trying to keep up
with the need,” Shawcross said, add-
ing that the ultimate goal is to find
people housing.
But according to a count con-
ducted Oct. 29 by the Rhode Island
Coalition for the Homeless, there
will be a deficit of 79 beds, even with
the extra resources. The count, in-
tended to identify the number of
people on the street at a particular
point in time, found that shelters
were over capacity by 36, and 131
people were sleeping outside, said
Jim Ryczek, the group’s executive
to acknowledge that it is an emer-
gency,” Ryczek said. The coalition
also wants the governor “to take the
lead on helping us solve the prob-
lem,” he said.
In order to make up the deficit,
the state would need to find more
space to put beds in order to comply
with fire codes or fund emergency
apartment housing to clear space in
shelters, Ryczek said.
Shawcross said an emergency
shelter task force is meeting to plan
for the winter, and is searching for
more space and more funding.
The task force includes members
from her office, homeless advocate
groups, service providers and home-
less people, she said.
Calling it a “challenging situa-
tion,” Shawcross added that Rhode
Island is one of a few states able
to provide shelter for its homeless
population.
“Times are bad and there are a
lot of desperate people,” she said.

Cheaters cheat on everyone

To the Editor:
Regarding Tuesday’s article
(“Poll: 17 percent of students say
they have cheated,” Nov. 24): I am
bitterly disgusted to think that nearly
one in five of my classmates is an
academic cheater.
Professor of History Omer Bar-
tov questions why students would
spend tuition money in order to
cheat. The answer is simple. It is
the same reason why some people
fabricate their resumes or lie to
achieve power, fame and money —
except less risky. I want to clarify
that I am not criticizing Professor
Bartov for his comment, as most
likely any other professor could have
been quoted as saying the same. It
is important to continue to point out
that academic dishonesty is a form
of stealing from oneself.
Professor of Computer Science
Andy van Dam’s argument that aca-
demic dishonesty “debases the coin
of the realm” is nonetheless much
represent the greatest achievement
of my life. Perhaps many students
forget that earning a Brown degree
is, in the big picture, a rare and envi-
able achievement, uniquely qualify-
ing one for positions of power, intel-
lect, and responsibility. Those who
falsely possess a Brown degree and
transcript because they cheated will
devalue my achievement, and the
achievements of all other honest
Brown graduates. I consider this
a significant form of stealing from
me. Cheaters receiving financial aid
steal from tuition-paying students
and the University’s donors. Cheat-
ers using Brown’s physical and intel-
lectual resources steal from all past
and present University benefactors.
Cheaters steal from a centuries-old
tradition, among the most excep-
tional in the world, of preparing
knowledgeable and moral men and F ranny choi
women for the responsibilities of
society.  These points may seem ob-
vious, but they are under-articulated e d i to r i a l

Time for a warm and fuzzy moment: after
nearly four years at Brown, I’ve come to con-
sider this University, as well as Providence,
another home. While I still look forward
immensely to returning home to Asheville,
North Carolina each and every break, I
equally relish returning to Brown and the
surrounding community.
Granted, Rhode Island is pretty different
from my home state. Politically, North Caro-
lina and Rhode Island might as well be Kan-
sas and Oz. North Carolina is firmly situated
in the “conservative” South, while Rhode Is-
land is part of “liberal” New England.
North Carolina laws prevent the pur-
chase of alcohol before noon on Sundays
and limit liquor sales to regulated ABC
stores; in Rhode Island, you can pull up to
a liquor store and have the store’s staff fill
your trunk without ever having to set foot in
the store itself.
Rhode Island’s politicians tend to be far
more interesting than North Carolina’s; try
as he might, former Senator and Vice Presi-
dential candidate John Edwards’ hijinks just
can’t compare to those of former Mayor
Buddy Cianci.  Democrat Heath Shuler claimed Republican

Once you look beyond apple pie, Thanksgiv-
ing and the consumer culture of the Christ-
mas season, there are few things that are
more American than sports. The Super
Bowl is the most watched television event
in America, and March Madness, the World
Series, and NBA and NHL playoffs do not
disappoint sponsors either. Parents and chil-
dren alike herald sports as the way to build
camaraderie and teach how to win and to
lose with dignity.
Sports heroes give us the underdog sto-
ries kids thrive on and offer an alternative
path to success from a straight academic
narrative of achievement. They formulate
how we look at relationships in schools and
workplaces. Everyone, regardless of involve-
ment in sports, is taught to be a team player.
The team dynamic is intrinsic to our Ameri-
can identity, whether or not the Super Bowl
is an event on our calendars.
What fascinates me most about sports in
American culture is that it is the single in-
stitution which professes to be democratic
yet has an inherently anti-democratic struc-
ture — for example, selecting captains for a
team. Most teams have coach-selected cap-
tains, from intramural leagues to college var-
sity teams. An adult selects a player or two

despotism?
I’ve heard the justification from many
coaches that a coach-selected captain system
is the fairest system because it eliminates
the possibility of captain-selection based on
popularity. But we don’t have to look beyond
the most obvious example of popularly elect-
ed officials, especially local politicians, to see
that their ability to function depends heavily
on whether they maintain popular support.
Likewise, a captain of a sports team will not

find it easy to lead team members who re-
sent their captaincy.
Coaches have a self-interested motive in
selecting captains. A coach-selected captain
owes her position to the coach, and therefore
is more likely to serve the coach’s interests
rather than her team’s. The danger of a play-
er-selected captain for a coach is clear. This
captain is a threat to a coach’s authority.
A player-selected captain does have a
clear benefit for a coach, however. If a cap-
held for eight consecutive terms.
As a registered Democrat, I voted for
Shuler in what was my first ever election, and
I was proud to be part of his success. When
early poll numbers for the 2008 presidential
election showed North Carolina emerging
as an important swing state, I excitedly re-
quested my absentee ballot again.
I believe my vote was well spent. As the
election results rolled in, North Carolina
remained “Too close to call.” The final tally
gave the Old North State to Barack Obama
by a mere 13,962 votes, mine being one of
them. My vote also went to the election of
a new Democratic senator, Kay Hagan, and
Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue.
North Carolinians (conservative and lib-
eral alike) aren’t the only Brown students
who may benefit by registering to vote in
their home state. There are 25 states where
citizens can vote to veto state statutes, and
22 where voters can initiate laws — states
that a significant number of Brown students
tain is only interested in preserving her own
position and does not view keeping her team-
mates satisfied as crucial, the information
that a coach receives from this captain about
the team is likely to be unhelpful. A captain
selected by the players will be those players’
advocate. A captain is that extra set of eyes
for the coach to use, and is likely to offer an
alternate opinion if she sees herself in a posi-
tion to challenge the decisions of the coach
and push the coach to see new options.
Like authoritarian leaders, a coach will
rarely relinquish the ability to choose cap-
tains, while players who hold the ability to
choose their own captains and relinquish
this privilege won’t find themselves satisfied
with the result. Even the most well-inten-
tioned coaches can’t make a choice that will
be respected by the team every time. When
a coach selects a captain, a player above the
rest, they inevitably lose a little bit of their
credibility with the team.
Players don’t always make the right de-
cisions. Captains might be selected for the
wrong reasons — perhaps as a lesser of two

call home. This November, Maine voters had
the opportunity to support or overturn the
state’s recently added same-sex marriage
law, an issue with national significance.
  I do not want to downplay the benefits
of voting in Rhode Island, however. There
are many good reasons to vote in Rhode Is-
land and many important issues at stake that
would benefit from the voice of young, politi-
cally active students. For example, Sen. Shel-
don Whitehouse, D-R.I, was helped by strong
support from college students in 2006.
So when it comes time to register to
vote, consider the benefits of voting in each
state in which you can claim residency, and
choose carefully. Engaging with the com-
munity outside College Hill is an important
duty all Brown students should undertake,
but there are more ways than casting a bal-
lot to effect change in Providence and Rhode
Island.
If Rhode Island political issues move you,
then by all means cast your vote here — it’s
a great way to get involved in the state that
serves as our residence for eight months out
of the year. But if you feel your vote would
be better spent in your home state, just click
your heels three times and request your
absentee ballot. Sometimes, there’s just no
place (to vote) like home.

evils, perhaps because of their greater pop-
ularity. But once elected, this captain has a
responsibility to all of the players. Captains
who suggest their friends for starting posi-
tions they don’t deserve, or fail to advocate
for the unseen star of the team, will find
themselves quickly impeached.
One of the factors that coaches rarely
consider is whether a player wants to be cap-
tain. The general assumption is that all play-
ers aspire to that position, but this is far from
true. On a competitive team such as colleg-
es boast, captaincy is a time-consuming and
stressful position that not all competent play-
ers seek. It is hard for a player to say no to
a coach and risk her personal standing in
her coach’s eyes, whereas it is significantly
easier to decline a nomination by players, al-
lowing players more able to serve their own
needs first.
At a school where intramural to club to
varsity athletes are expected to be students
before athletes, and at a school that professes
a liberal ideology, it might be reasonable to
expect students to be able to select their own
captains. We are given the choice of direc-
tion for our education, we are eligible to vote
for our politicians, and we select members of
our other clubs. There is no reason beyond
the “enlightened” leadership of coaches that
players should not pick their peer leaders.
Susannah Kroeber ’11 is a proud
member of a team with player-selected
captains.
