Lamars set lasted a brief 90 minutes, and included major hits from Lamars gold- selling major label debut, good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012), as well as some lesser-known tracks from earlier albums such as Overly Dedicated (2010) and Section.80 (2012).

According to the driver, after picking up the students from a bar in downtown Atlanta, he dropped them off on cam-pus, and they began to walk away without paying. Once officers arrived, they made contact with the students, and the individuals said they needed to go to an ATM to pay the driver. Campus Life was notified regarding the incident.

With the help of a more than $1.3 million donation from the James M. Cox, Jr. Foundation, the College of Arts and Sciences launched a minor in journalism with an interdisciplin-ary focus consisting of courses in eth-ics and law. Before the introduction of the new minor, which took only 15 student applicants and was given placement assistance by The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Emory�’s only other journalism program had been discontinued in 1952 after the departure of its director. Publications Adviser Richard Daigle, who over-saw the Wheel at the time, believed the program would greatly augment

student publications at Emory.

Patron.�” Catering to a large college crowd, Lamar opted for a loud, in-your-face approach throughout, an aesthetic choice that sidelined the more subdued, nuanced style for which he is well known.

Spring Band Party co-chair and College senior Chris Akavi booked Lamar this fall. He said the rap-per�’s performance exceeded his expectations.

�“I rarely think that hip-hop shows are good performances, but [Lamar] blew me away,�” he said. �“I thought he brought energy and clear passion to his performance and was genuinely happy to be up there performing.�”

College senior Michael Goldberg was not very famil-iar with Lamar�’s music before Friday night but said he enjoyed shar-ing the experience with such a large audience.

�“I think what I appreciated most was seeing so many students on the field,�” he said. �“The Emory community really came together.�”

College sophomore Nandita Vanka is a dedicated fan of Lamar�’s music.

�“It was so energetic and so per-sonal,�” Vanka said. �“But I can see how, if you didn�’t like Kendrick going into the concert, you might be taken aback.�”

Others, like College fresh-man Hannah Harmatz, were not as enthused. �“I thought it was decent,�” Harmatz said. �“[Lamar] definitely showed his ego but still got the crowd amped up. I think the biggest problem I had with it was people being too drunk and falling on me and push-ing me.�”

College sophomore Carrie Wiegert was not an avid listener before the concert and said the event left her feeling equally ambivalent. �“I know a lot of students who were his fans seemed to feel unimpressed by him as well. Sure, he had a decent digital set-up in terms of lights and visuals, but overall I found the concert kind of boring,�” she said.

Vanka said she was taken by

surprise at the mass of students in attendance.

�“I didn�’t even feel like I was at Emory,�” she said. �“I think I was just shocked by the number of people who came out.�”

In spite of increased risk-man-agement precautions on the part of SPC, exceptionally high numbers of guest registrations �— in part, a result of an influx of students in the area due to the NCAA Basketball Final Four tournament �— posed a major challenge, according to SPC Vice President-Elect and College junior Graham Brooks.

SPC reportedly received approxi-mately 1,350 guest registration requests, nearly three times as many

as were requested for 2010 Spring Band Party per-former Wiz Khalifa.

SPC President-Elect and Goizueta Business School junior Raghvi Anand and Brooks served as co-chairs for Dooley�’s Week this year. In order to stem the over-whelming tide of registrations, Brooks and Anand

made the decision to shut down online registration for both weekend concerts hours earlier than originally planned, late Thursday night.

�“Emory students are our number-one priority,�” Brooks said of the deci-sion to cap registrations. �“We want to make sure that the people paying for these events through their Student Activity Fees are having the best experience possible.�”

After dozens of hospitalizations due to intoxication at last year�’s Dooley�’s Ball, SPC took extra risk-management precautions for this year�’s weekend festivities, including mass emails to the student body, notices on flyers and IFC-sponsored shuttles to and from campus. Chloe Saeks, Spring Band Party co-chair and College senior, said she believes the added risk-reduction efforts had a positive impact on the event.

�“The overall event was much bet-ter from a safety standpoint than in years passed,�” she said.

ized requirements for an organization to become eligible for a charter: at least 10 members, a faculty advisor, a constitution, a mission statement and adherence to SGA and University-wide rules. It also eliminates the des-ignations of �“temporary charter�” and makes it so that all chartered organi-zations are perpetually chartered.

A perpetually-chartered organi-zation, as opposed to a temporari-ly-chartered one, has access to the Student Activities Fee (SAF), which means it may approach SGA and other divisional councils for funding.

Some members of the SGA Governance Committee voiced oppo-sition to the bill because they said they believe its wording as it currently stands would bypass the approval of divisional councils for an organiza-tion to acquire a charter.

�“[The bill] gives SGA the abil-ity to approve a thousand clubs for the medical school, and the medi-cal school doesn�’t have a say,�” SGA Governance Committee Chair and College sophomore Ted Guio said.

Gandhi said he agrees with the concerns of the divisional councils, but the spirit of the legislation is for students to no longer have to undergo month of waiting before their organi-zation is eligible for funding.

Members of other divisional coun-cils had similar concerns. Patrick McBride, the president-elect of the BBA Council and Goizueta Business School senior, sent an email to the legislature Monday afternoon encour-aging them to vote against the bill.

�“While it seems fair to think that SGA should have this type of author-ity, the current College Council, BBA Council and Nursing Association have policies and procedures already in place ensuring the right clubs receive charters and that the interests and goals of the respected divisions and student bodies are protected,�” he wrote in the email.

McBride wrote that he believes the bill threatens the autonomy of the divisional councils and would mean the SAF would be irresponsibly allocated.

Other executive members like SGA Vice President and Nursing School senior Danielle Zamarelli and SGA Chief of Staff and B-School Junior Matthew Willis agreed that

students view the current chartering process as a hindrance and a hurdle to get a club chartered.

Kurtis Anderson, the CC vice president of administration and a College junior, argued against the bill on behalf of CC.

While the legislature debated the bill, Anderson proposed an amend-ment that added a requirement to the bill that organizations must also adhere to the requirements estab-lished by the respective divisional councils.

�“[The amendment] would allow divisional councils to have additional requirements other than the man-dated minimum by SGA,�” Anderson said.

Campus Life Committee Chair and College senior Aaron Leven and SGA President-Elect and College junior Raj Patel voiced concerns that the amendment would give too much open-ended power to the divisional councils to attach as many additional requirements as they pleased, making the chartering process as bureaucratic as it is now.

Other legislators voiced approval of an amendment that would allow divisional councils to make chartered organizations adhere to the require-ments in their existing constitutions, which some members thought would solve the open-ended issue because the constitution is codified.

In order to accommodate the com-peting amendment suggestions and multiple concerns, Gandhi proposed an amendment to the bill that would add an additional requirement that organizations must obtain approval from the divisional council in under which that organization falls.

CC Vice President-Elect and College junior Adam Chan suggested to table the bill and form an ad-hoc committee to discuss it. Gandhi insisted the legislature vote on the bill during the session. He explained that if the bill was not voted on during the meeting it would lose momentum, and he wanted to see progress.

�“The intention of this bill is to empower students to be able to make a club that they love and do some-thing at Emory that means a lot to them,�” Leven said.

Gandhi�’s amendment passed 24-0-1. The legislature also voted to amend the part of the bill that applied to re-registration of organizations, which would occur every semester, so that it reflected the additional requirement

of the first amendment.Members of SGA affiliated with

the medical and business schools were concerned that the bill would give unauthorized clubs the ability to use their respective brands and logos.

In response, the legislature voted unanimously to amend the bill to say that an organization must get approval of the divisional council if it is to use the name or logo of the school in its advertising.

Legislators also raised concerns regarding a statement in the bill that gave the SGA president the authority to waive the requirement of clubs to have 10 people.

Gandhi, along with freshman representative and College freshman Sumaali Chheda, insisted on there being exceptions to the rule so that clubs with less than 10 members can become chartered.

�“Suppose ... there are only five stu-dents on campus from Yemen. There should be a way for them to create a cultural organization,�” Chheda said.

The legislature voted 22-1-1 to amend the bill so that a majority of the legislature must vote on the exception to the 10-person rule, rather than the SGA president having the final say.

Anderson proposed another amendment that would give division-al councils the power as they deem necessary, because he said the bill would change how CC has historical-ly-funded organizations.

Currently, CC evaluates the merit of a club as a whole before deciding to fund them.

Anderson argued that the bill would change this process and make it so that CC could not distinguish between a stable and an unstable organization and be forced to fund an organization simply by virtue of its chartered status.

Gandhi insisted that the bill would not change monetary policy nor would it affect the discretion of the divisional councils when it came to distributing the SAF. He also said he did not believe it would change how CC funds organizations because they could keep track of which clubs were most recently chartered under the new policy.

Leven agreed with Gandhi, stating that from personal experience the only reason clubs want to get char-tered is to receive funding from CC, and the bill would allow for that.

Anderson�’s second amendment failed.

Finally, the legislature moved to call the bill into question and vote. The bill passed.

SGA also finalized an amount to fund the TEDxEmory event. Last week, they had tabled the bill to fund the event because they were concerned about the depletion of the budget.

TEDxEmory Director of Finance and College Sophomore Ariella Iancu said that she cut the budget significantly and reduced the request-ed amount to $8,000, down from $15,000 last week.

Without the additional cost of TEDxEmory bags, the event would require about $7,400.

Leven said he wanted to fund the full amount because he did not believe SGA would be funding any other events for the rest of the month.

Gandhi offered to pay $2,000 from the executive budget so that Emory students would have free admission to the event.

Finally, the bill was amended so that SGA would fund $5,000 for the event, and the SGA Executive Budget will provide $2,000 to provide stu-dent with free tickets.

The bill passed unanimously.SGA bylaws require that bills be

passed during two consecutive meet-ings. Since this was the last session of the 46th legislature, Speaker of the Legislature and College senior Milan Udawatta ended the 20th session and began the 21st session so that the leg-islature could vote on the chartering bill again.

The bill passed 18-1-2 the second time, making its passage official.

Towards the conclusion of the meeting, the 47th Legislature of SGA convened for the first time to swear in the newly-elected members and to elect a new speaker of the legislature.

SGA Representative-at-Large-Elect and College freshman Raj Tilwa and SGA Clerk and College freshman Kimberly Varadi were both nominated.

After speeches by both candidates, questions from the legislature and discussion, the legislature voted 11-9 to elect Varadi as the next Speaker of the Legislature.

and SPC Spring Band Party co-chair, wrote in an email to the Wheel. �“I loved how engaged he was with the crowd, even stage-diving at one point, and I thought he was a true performer.�”

The Student Programming Council (SPC), which sponsored the event, invited students to attend the concert in togas, keeping with the theme of �“Doolius Caesar Presents: When in Rome, Dooley as the Romans Do.�”

SPC attempted to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest toga party, which was set at 3,700 attendants a few years ago in Australia.

�“We figured that since we were having a massive toga party, that it would be something special to really get students involved,�” Akavi

wrote. �“We thought that it would be a cool new tradition to try and break some sort of record every Dooley�’s Week, and it could be something that brings the Emory community closer together.�”

Despite the plastic white sheets available to those without costumes, SPC and students were unable to break the record.

Akavi cited regulations set by the Guinness Book of World Records as one of the hindrances to SPC�’s ability to break the toga record. The record also required the togas to be white.

�“We put a lot of time and effort trying to put ourselves in a good position to break the record,�” Akavi wrote, also noting that SPC cut up sheets of plastic to make togas for all attendees. He added that more marketing would have been helpful.

Fowler agreed with Akavi that the idea to break the record was not pub-licized well among students attending the concert.

Akavi added that the highlight of his night was when 3Lau played the �“Harlem Shake.�”

�“I always love to see the crowds go crazy for that song, and Emory students didn�’t disappoint,�” he said.

to the Wheel that he does not have any detailed information about GSC�’s decision to hold a �“no-confidence�” vote, he noted, �“Of course I respect the actions of any of our governance bodies to adopt resolutions and make decisions in what they consider to be in the better interests of Emory.�”

He wrote that regardless of the vote�’s outcome, he looks forward �“to hearing more about the specific concerns that exist in order to help ensure that this critical component of our education and research mission will continue to grow in quality and vibrancy.�”

After the final vote tally is calcu-lated, GSC will post the results on its website. Rankin wrote that he will, if he receives enough responses, sort the added comments in the ballot�’s text box into categories, tally the catego-ries and then anonymously post a few of the �“best ones�” per category on the

GSC website.�“I thought, and the council voted

on, that this would allow a more constructive conversation than just a �‘no confidence�’ ballot,�” he wrote, adding that if there are not too many responses he might just post them all online.

Cora MacBeth, Laney�’s assistant dean for student affairs and an assis-tant professor in the Department of Chemistry, said the text box addition will �“give students a chance to actu-ally say something�” as opposed to just placing a vote.

�“I just hope that the students respond and participate widely and that the vote is representative of the diverse group of graduates that the Laney Graduate School represents,�” MacBeth said.

general election. If they were truly this big I should not have been able to go through the run-off election.�”

RHA policy states that one may only present such a challenge within 24 hours after the election results are presented, but the Election Board discussed the ambiguity of the clause, given that the policy does not clarify whether it is referring to the general or run-off election.

Simon wrote in an email to the Wheel that she was unaware of these irregularities until after the first round of elections were complete. At that point, however, she was told it was too late to challenge.

This type of incident had never happened before to RHA, so there was not a proper infrastructure in place to deal with such an issue, according to Goswami. The elec-tion chair and RHA advisors had to reconstitute an Election Council after eliminating the Constitutional Council �— which provided the same function �— a few years ago.

The RHA Election Committee ultimately determined that the word-ing of the clause was vague.

The committee concluded that because the clause was vague, Simon was allowed to chal-lenge Goswami�’s actions in the gen-eral election, even though at that point the run-off had already taken place.

�“I spoke to the elections chair regarding the chal-lenge as soon as I found out before the run-off, but there was not enough time to conduct a chal-lenge hearing before Tuesday,�” Simon wrote in an email to the Wheel.

All candidates from the original election were invited back to par-ticipate in the second general election because after the initial disqualifica-tion, there was no way to determine

who would have received Goswami�’s votes otherwise, according to College sophomore and RHA Elections Chair Katherine Joseph.

Elkins has cho-sen not to run again, but Maddix has expressed interest in participating in the new election.

Maddix wrote in an email to the Wheel that although he was surprised about the decision of the RHA Election Council, he agrees with the end result.

�“I know going into this, the odds may me stacked against me,�” Maddix wrote. �“I�’m running

again because I believe in my vision for RHA and the tremendous oppor-tunities we have moving forward.�”

Joseph noted that RHA�’s processes in handling situations like these is much different from those of the

Student Government Association (SGA) and College Council (CC).

�“RHA is not like SGA or CC, and it�’s a much more informal and familial process, and so RHA is the kind of organization [where] we want to encourage people to work together, which is why we chose to handle this internally and not make a big deal of [the elections],�” Joseph said.

Goswami compared his situation to that of SGA President-Elect and College junior Raj Patel, who was accused of cheating on the day that the SGA presidential election were supposed to be announced.

�“To be very honest, I have no idea what they are doing. It makes no sense to me,�” Goswami said. �“If you look at SGA, Raj Patel was accused of cheating on the voting day, and he just got community service and he still got his position. I got five hours of community service in addition to another election, and all I did was make my Facebook group a little earlier.�”

�“No offense, but this is kind of boring. Write an editorial about Kazakhstan.�” Online comment made by �‘Drew�’ on the Wheel website.

Few know the name of the world�’s ninth largest country �— the origin of Sputnik, the testing plains for the Soviet atom bomb, the untamable steppe where the first incipient apple trees blossomed alongside the wild ancestors of today�’s tulips, soon to spread across the globe. Few have tasted kumis, our beloved fermented mare�’s milk. Few have eaten bisbarmak, �“five fingers,�” our delectable dish of horse and noodles. Fewer still have skied our slopes and galloped upon our swift steeds or felt upon their cheek the glorious rush of orange and purple behind our mountains that ushers in the twilight. A tear of pity for my reader wells within me as I write, but the pity shortly turns to a burning patriotism as I hum the national anthem. Our time is coming.

For too long has Kazakhstan been lost in the shadows of its dwarfing neighbors, Russia and China; for too long we have been neglected as unimportant in world geography and history; but now we are about to redefine geography and history, we are about to step from the shadows and neglect into the world�’s spotlight.

At our northern border is the steppe �— miles upon miles of frozen wasteland the Soviets used to test nuclear weapons. The soil, as you can imagine, is more dangerous than

the asbestos in McTeiyre. The first plan of our quest for world domination begins there, in the steppes.

Releasing the underfed inhabitants of our neglected zoos into the steppe, we will wait for the mutational effects of radiation to work their magic. In several generations�’ time, then, we should have an army of mutated monsters roaming our northern, sparsely populated borders, eventually wandering into Russia and China and eating its inhabitants. With China out of the way, the United States will too collapse, depending as it does on cheap Chinese products.

Of course, all who heard of the recent meat scandal in Europe with horse in the hot dog think it mere happenstance. How wrong they are. For years we have been undercutting cattle ranches on a global scale with our own government-subsidized horse meat programs, designed to put cattle farms out of business and increase the world�’s dependence on horse meat. Already, the hamburgers at the DUC are adulterated and impure, made mostly of Central Asian stallion. All it takes is a simple pull of the plug, and the world�’s meat supply will be critically crippled, countries toppling to their knees before us!

One of the problems that has plagued our country since its existence is a lack of water. As the world�’s largest landlocked country, we can do little more than enjoy caviar from the Caspian. Our token naval force stationed there is a joke. We have a plan, of course. We

have been stockpiling cotton since our inde-pendence in 1991. Uzbekistan, our southern neighbor, relies fairly heavily on that cash crop. Their dependence on cotton diverts for irrigation the majority of the water from the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers that other-wise flow into the Aral Sea.

Our plan is to sell cotton at greatly-reduced prices to Uzbekistan, thereby eliminating the need to grow so much. Because spiking salin-ity levels in the Aral Sea have killed most of the fish and surrounding wildlife, they will no longer be around to greedily drink up all the new water from these tributaries.

We anticipate a major rise in water level, soaking and flooding the southern deserts and hopefully creating an island of our moun-tainous steppe.

We have docks and ports ready to use up in our mountains, with ships prepared to cruise around the world and deliver nuclear payloads.

The last stage in the master plan is to bring to fruition our alliance with North Korea to harness the power of her nukes, trained, as we speak, on this nation�’s capitol. Long live communism!

All Hail the Great and Powerful Kazakhstan! College editorials from across the countryEditorial Roundup

The Harvard CrimsonHarvard University

Monday April 8, 2013In its staff editorial, titled �“UC Expresses

�‘Tremendous Concern�’ over Email Searches�” the Crimson staff discusses issues with privacy that are occurring at the University.

Representatives of the Undergraduate Council voted unanimously Sunday night to express �“tremendous concern�” over adminis-trators�’ searches of resident deans�’ email ac-counts and the broader issue of email privacy at Harvard.

The approved legislation, which also calls on administrators to clarify both the Faculty of Arts and Sciences email privacy policy as well as student email privacy rights, comes less than a week after revelations of a previ-ously undisclosed round of secret searches of a resident dean�’s email accounts authorized by Dean of the College Evelynn M. Hammonds.

Following reports that administrators had searched the email accounts of 16 resident deans to plug a media leak regarding the Government 1310 case, Hammonds and FAS Dean Michael D. Smith released a statement on March 11 saying that the searches had been confined to subject-line queries of resi-

dent deans�’ administrative accounts. But at a faculty meeting last Tuesday, Hammonds contradicted her previous statement, citing her �“failure to recollect�” additional queries of one resident dean�’s administrative and faculty accounts�—a breach of FAS policy�—that also went beyond a simple subject-line search.

Currier representative Sietse K. Goffard �’15, who introduced the UC legislation at Sunday�’s meeting, called on his fellow rep-resentatives to respond to students�’ anxiety about their email privacy.�“This should be something that we�’re all concerned about and having talked to many students, I know there are many concerns,�” Goffard said during his presentation of the legislation.

�“At the end of the day, it�’s their information that is under threat of being exposed and that�’s just not something that as the Undergraduate Council we should be supportive of or not take a stance on.�”

UC President Tara Raghuveer �’14 empha-sized that the precedent of the administrators�’ searches threatens not just the privacy of fac-ulty or resident deans, but also that of students.

�“With emails, the [faculty and student] pol-icies are very intertwined,�” Raghuveer said in her introductory remarks at Sunday�’s meeting.

This sounds like a laudable and realistic goal. One thing, though. You write: �“To put it bluntly, Wagner, though genuinely likeable and highly intelligent, is the product of a Eurocentric education.�” This is true RE: his apparent biases broadly speaking, but I would note that he also is an engineer and does not possess a humanities training or perspective, Eurocentric or otherwise. His lack of sensitivity in this regard is manifest in his statement, the abhorrent character of which people across the university together recognized. We need a multicultural require-ment to be sure, but we also need a legitimate commitment to the humanities more broadly �— both in the form of our president and in the form of support for humanities programs, not cuts to them.

Lamar, 3Lau Excite Emory Students

Dooley’s Week: A Major Success 6 is Year

Saturday night�’s Dooley�’s Ball, featuring electronic dance music DJ 3LAU, signaled the end of this year�’s Dooley�’s Week, hosted annually by the Student Programming Council (SPC). This year�’s theme was �“Dooley as the Romans Do�” and culminated in an attempt at Dooley�’s Ball to break the Guinness World Record for hosting the largest toga party.

The week began on Monday with Taste of Emory, a showcase of restaurants from the local community. It was followed by a performance called �“Dooling Pianos�” on Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday and a performance by comedian Hannibal Buress on Thursday. Friday night�’s Spring Band Party featured the critically-acclaimed rapper Kendrick Lamar.

We at the Wheel enjoyed this year�’s theme �— and were, to say the least, impressed with SPC�’s witty wordplay. Although Kendrick Lamar�’s performance garnered much attention on campus and in general most students knew about the week�’s events, we feel that last year�’s tactic of flashing signs around campus was a more effective advertising strategy. We feel SPC also deserves recognition for making the first three events of the week �“zero waste,�” meaning that all items were either recyclable or compostable.

Furthermore, we were pleased by the decision to relocate Taste of Emory to McDonough Field rather than hold it on Asbury Circle this year. McDonough is a more accessible location than Asbury Circle, which allowed students to mingle and socialize while enjoying the delec-table food. Tuesday�’s �“Dooling Pianos�” performance was entertaining and boasted a very high turnout. Wonderful Wednesday was charmingly goofy in a way that only Emory can be. The dance-off between The Spoke�’s Dooley and the �“real�” Dooley was an amusing twist on Emory tradition, and the foam gladiator pit offered those in attendance the chance for some less-than-traditional Roman combat.

This year�’s Dooley�’s Week T-shirts contained slips of paper with messages reminding stu-dents to drink safely at the concerts on Friday and Saturday. This was part of an advertising campaign in collaboration with the Office of Health Promotion to encourage more responsible partying following the medical emergencies at last year�’s Dooley�’s Ball. We support SPC�’s effort to encourage responsible drinking and feel that the campaign was very tactfully presented. The point of this campaign was driven home at Spring Band Party and Dooley�’s Ball, which, for the first time, did not feature kegs of free beer. The ultimate conclusion was a much safer weekend of concerts with a minimum of emergencies. We congratulate SPC on its successful campaign.

We recommend that SPC find another venue for future comedians than Glenn Memorial. In the past, some might have felt uncomfortable hosting comedians �— who frequently make jokes about religion �— in a church, and the issue came to a head this year when Buress threw a Bible on the ground as part of his routine. This offended some members of the audience and even Buress expressed confusion about performing at that location. In fact, he began his performance with the line, �“I know y�’all got other buildings.�” Although Glenn Memorial has ample seating, we feel that a church is an inappropriate venue for a comedian to perform.

We were, on the whole, impressed by this year�’s Spring Band Party and Dooley�’s Ball. SPC did a great job bringing big names such as Kendrick Lamar and 3Lau to campus, and we hope this trend continues. Nothing draws a crowd quite like a popular headliner, and Spring Band Party and Dooley�’s Ball were no exception. Both musicians put on fantastic performances and although there were a multitude of non-Emory students in the crowd, the turnout was excep-tional. While the guest policy was well-publicized and well-enforced this year, we are otherwise disappointed by the concerts�’ security. Emory ID�’s were not thoroughly checked, and it would not have been difficult for somebody who does not attend Emory to successfully present a dif-ferent form of identification.

We also recommend that SPC provide more bathroom facilities in the future. Four toilets was simply not enough to accommodate crowds as large as Friday and Saturday�’s. The line for the bathroom was unruly. As far as other accommodations go, food and water ran out quickly. We suggest that SPC endeavor to at least provide more water next year.

Ultimately, no event as substantial as Dooley�’s Week can run entirely without issue, and of course these problems cannot detract from this year�’s overall success. We congratulate SPC on another excellent Dooley�’s Week and wish the members of the SPC continued success in planning for next year.

The above staff editorial represents the majority opinion of the Wheel�’s editorial board.

THE EMORY WHEEL OP ! ED 7Tuesday, April 9, 2013

One of the most disturbing trends in the United States in recent decades is the lack of socioeconomic mobility. A core aspect of the American dream is a merit-based society where hard work will lead to greater eco-nomic prosperity. Yet even though Americans believe in this ideal �— a 2013 Brookings Institute survey found that a higher rate of Americans agreed with the statement �“people are rewarded for intelligence and skill�” than any of the 27 coun-tries surveyed �— this ideal hasn�’t matched the reality in recent decades. That same survey also found that income inequality was increasing and becoming permanent, sharply reducing social mobility.

America�’s universities �— including Emory �— play a crucial role in reversing this trend. Access to a highly-ranked college dramatically increases one�’s potential earnings and increases the likelihood of moving up the social latter. Yet my experience prior, during and in the two years since graduating from Emory, makes me doubt that the school is fulfilling its duty and mission to provide access to the country�’s youth struggling to get out of the lower class.

My graduating class of 64 students at a high school in Seattle �— about as far away from Atlanta as possible in the continen-tal United States �— sent three students to Emory. I know dozens of these wealthy, private high schools regularly send several students a year to Emory and other highly-ranked universities.

For the past two years, I�’ve taught at Jonesboro High School about 20 miles south of Emory�’s campus. Ninety-one percent of

students are minorities, and more than 75 percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Out of the 300-person graduating class last year, none will attend Emory �— the best university in the high school�’s own backyard.

It�’s certainly true that a significant percent-age of students at Jonesboro do not have the credentials to thrive at Emory, while this may not be true at the high school I attended and other similar prep-schools across the coun-ty. However, the top echelon of students at Jonesboro High �— and other low-income high

schools �— could thrive at Emory. These students may not have as high SAT and ACT scores due to the lack of

access to expensive test-prep programs that their peers in wealthier cir-cles have. However, they

would contribute a great deal to the diversity and richness of the

community in a way that students from more privileged back-

grounds cannot.From anecdotal

experience, I don�’t believe Emory admits the stu-

dent population that would provide the best, most enriching college experi-ence. While Emory students are extremely accomplished in many academic and non-academic fields, a significant portion of students don�’t offer as much as a more eco-nomically and racially diverse students would offer. These students wouldn�’t arrive on cam-pus principally concerned with which Greek organization to join and the social scene at

Maggie�’s, like is the case among a segment of Emory�’s population.

High-achieving students in Atlanta area high schools should see admission to Emory �— the top school in the metro area �— as a realistic goal. In order for this to hap-pen, Emory�’s admissions department needs to spend more time actively recruiting in Metropolitan Atlanta schools and less time focusing on elite, wealthy schools in other regions of the county.

Those schools have great guidance coun-selors and students who will hear about Emory. Recruitment and information about Emory is needed at places like Jonesboro High where �“counselors�” have too many duties unrelated to college advising to provide adequate services to our top students.

I know Emory prides itself on recruiting students from every part of the country and the globe. However, it seems the majority of students are from schools in the nation�’s high-est-income neighborhoods, and most inter-

national students from the same types of English-speaking schools where admis-sion to an American college is the goal.

While this might look diverse on paper, the reality didn�’t always feel that way during

my time at Emory.Recruiting at low-income Atlanta area

schools might not seem like the most logical approach for Emory�’s admissions

department. These students would require significant financial aid and don�’t help

the school boast its national and international appeal. In a lot of

ways, recruiting students from abroad who can afford to pay full-freight might seem like a better approach.

But this approach is contributing to both the lack of social mobility in the country as a whole and the lack of real diversity at Emory that affects students�’ college experience.

Alex Dawson is an alumnus of Emory University from Seattle, Wash.

Over Spring Break, the Office of Religious Life held its annual New York Seminar trip. Every year the program seeks to raise aware-ness about issues the nation is facing and their pertinence to faith and religious tradition. In the past, themes have included immigration policy, education disparity and healthcare. This year the focus was �“Sacred Sites on the Margins of NYC,�” and the Emory group trav-eled to neighborhoods around New York City to explore religious traditions and gain a new perspective on faith.

The program this year had 25 Emory attendees, including faculty, Inter-Religious Council members, theology students and alumni. Although New York City is a tourist hotspot, the group strayed away from popular attractions and instead explored a different side of NY, one that most people don�’t see beyond the surface.

Among the items in the agenda were trips to religious sites including a Sikh Gurdwarda, a Ganesh Hindu Temple, a United Methodist Church and the Jewish Institute of Religion Gallery. The group also made special visits to marginalized communities in the Bronx, and spoke to health professionals at the South Bronx Health Center and Bronx Psychiatric Center.

At each site, students were informed on the basics of a practice, and then guided through the site and roundtable discussion. At the end, a dedicated leader of the community would share his/her history in NYC and a

personal story of faith. These visits encour-aged interreligious dialogue by giving stu-dents new insight into religious practice and one�’s experience within it. After each visit, the group was curiously asking questions and later engaging in their own conversations about the issues raised at hand.

What was beautiful about the communities was how each found a way to integrate faith into urban lifestyle without compromising parts of their identity.

You can be a forensic psychiatrist in the Bronx, for example, and incorporate prayer into your practice. Better yet, an ambitious middle school student by day and full prac-ticing Sikh by night. Although the urban lifestyle can seem intimidating, listening to one�’s religious journey certainty made NYC feel warmer.

Each minority group had a reoccurring theme that resonated with the Emory group, such as hospitality, love, hope or just plain respect. Striking to most students was how similar the struggles of each of these minority sites were.

At the United Methodist Church, the group discussed how clergy should �‘market�’ religion to make it more appealing to the youth. At the mosque, they discussed how to portray reli-

gion in a good light and combat stereotypes. And similarly at the Jewish institute, how to ensure equality and maintain sacred religious tradition.

These are questions not specific to one group but important for every person to consider regardless of their religious beliefs. From Canal to Broadway Street, students were intrigued by these communities and inspired by their pride.

The trip ended with a visit to the 9/11 memorial and a reflection at the Park 51 Community Center, otherwise dubbed �“ground zero mosque.�” The group considered a-day-in-the-life scenarios and gained a new perspective on sensitive issues by listening to leaders of the respective communities.

Although time was limited in New York, the trip shed light on our own precious home-towns and how we can make the most of what we have while we can.

For Emory students, we need not look further than the mini communities of our own campus and what insight we can glean by hav-ing similar discussions.

Appreciating diversity is one act, but chal-lenging it through a trip like this is a whole different experience.

We hope to pass on these reflections and encourage students to ask questions, discuss struggle, discover their own themes and ulti-mately balance the interconnected identifies we have as college students.

For a campus that never sleeps, it seems more than fitting.

Looking for New Rhetoric Around Immigration ReformMICHAEL HARRIS

The bulk of media coverage on current initiatives for U.S. immigration reform has centered on either the fate of 11 million undocumented immigrants already living here or our reception of low-skilled migrant workers. An issue in immigration reform, however, is a more fundamental question of America�’s orientation to the world-at-large: is it our ambition to be a continual nation of immigrants?

According to a 2010 census about 13 percent of the U.S. population are foreign born. We need policies and a popular rhetoric affirming the sustained presence of persons from diverse countries within our borders. Even if not often spoken of, such a stance seems to be a goal of policy makers advocat-ing for immigration reform. If this reform is to be successful, however, a cultural and attitudinal transformation must occur with Americans�’ perception of the role and value of immigrants.

One country to look toward for the pros-pects and struggles of such a transition is Germany. In 2005, Germany enacted new legislation to attract more immigrants from inside and outside the European Union (EU). I studied abroad in Berlin during the 2011/2012 school year, which allowed me to see and hear the result of these initiatives. Leading up to Germany�’s 2005 immigration reform were internal concerns that the country was perceived as being unreceptive to a diversity of faiths and cultural traditions. This was vali-

dated when, even in a city as heterogeneous as Berlin, I would occasionally see a group of men proclaiming (perhaps nostalgically) the virtues of folk German identity. Sometimes this was followed by xenophobic remarks against Turks or North Africans.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, even as I went out-side the cosmopoli-tan borders of Berlin, I witnessed sincere curiosity for other ethnic groups from Germans, in addi-tion to an expressed conflict regarding their national iden-tity. I had the advan-tage of examining Germany�’s relation to immigration dur-ing a critical junc-ture in the Eurozone crisis.

As fiscal conditions in Greece and Spain quickly worsened, pragmatic citizens of those states felt compelled to relocate to Germany in pursuit of stable jobs. They were also inclined to critique the economic policy of Germany and invoke its malignant nationalist sensibilities in response to imposed austerity measures.

The atmosphere for EU immigrants was only worsened by German arguments on the street and in the media that good fiscal practices of Germans must suffer due to the

ineptitude of foreign states.While expression of such positions may

breed difficult conditions for Germany�’s goal of immigrant reception and integration, it also ignites an important debate ostensibly absent in the U.S. Wherever one goes in

Germany one hears about the benefits or lack of preparedness for a multi-ethnic and mul-ticultural society in the country. Even from Germans weary of the Eurozone�’s future, my friends from Spain and I would constantly get inquiries on how our language instruction programs were going, how other Germans were treating us and what we hoped to con-tribute to Germany. An ample amount of people were more interested in how Germany was being transformed from the inside due to our presence rather than how we improved the

country�’s standing abroad or were individu-ally being bettered.

Such interest in how one�’s state can be improved by the presence of foreigners is rare in the U.S., because the U.S. may come off as diverse enough without foreign populations.

Natives too often see America as embody-ing multiculturalism without representa-tion of people from across the globe. Because this country was built on immi-grants, arriving as either enchained, exiled or free will-ing, we should be especially inclined to express the value of diverse nationali-ties within a single state, and remind the world of our contin-ual commitment to

this principle. It often seems that the reverse is the case, i.e., that America�’s vibrantly diverse history results in increased isolation and protectionism.

Grounded in the media and political dis-course, Americans usually assume this coun-try provides the immigrant something, not that the immigrant contributes something to this country. �“We have enough difference,�” an American might claim. �“We are not in jeopardy of producing tyrannical majorities or intransigent traditions.�”

wWhile there are quite a few histori-cal examples I can point out to dispute this remark, I want to conclude with my experi-ence in Germany to evaluate the United States�’ need for a new orientation towards immigration.

The reactions I received as an American abroad were alarming. Europeans were either ready to castigate me for our intervention-ist foreign policies or eager to ask questions about the American culture they had always seen in films or heard in music but never experienced up close and personal. Perhaps the most surprising was that folks abroad would make assumptions about the American character: that we were individualistic, lacked interest in international affairs and were high-ly patriotic.

In other words, people I spoke with felt the nationalism of Americans was more adamant than that of European countries. Although these people were exposed to many elements of American politics and culture, the United States was held at a strange distance com-pared to other parts of the world.

I believe this is because of the rhetoric surrounding our immigration policies, which relies on a damaging notion of American exceptionalism. The U.S. needs to learn from countries like Germany, who (not without apprehension) attempt to negotiate a strong nationalist history with policies and rhetoric affirming the gift of multiculturalism and sustained presence of foreign traditions and cultures.

Prioritizing Socioeconomic Mobility

SAHAR RAHIM

Visiting Faith and Religion

In last Friday�’s edition of the Wheel, David Giffin presented a lengthy critique of the con-cept of �“white privilege.�”

At least, I think he did. Maybe. It was unclear to me whether Giffin was attacking the validity of the white privilege critique, or simply the way the concept is deployed in modern political discourse. He was probably doing a little of both.

Giffin defines white privilege as the �“notion that white individuals in society benefit from certain social or eco-nomic norms in a way that people of minor-ity groups do not.�” He laments how accusa-tions of white privilege have been used to unfairly attack and exclude certain groups from commenting on political and social affairs, simply because they come from a place of supposed privilege.

Does white privilege exist? Of course it does. Obviously there are exceptions and anomalies, but on the whole, structural rac-ism and sexism continue to plague our society today.

Giffin acknowledges this, stating that �“society does still suffer from certain forms of racism and sexism that need to be addressed.�” Granted, Giffin and I would likely disagree over how pervasive these forms of discrimi-nation are. But at the end of the day, we both seem to agree that institutional racism and sexism do in fact exist to some extent in mod-ern society.

So what exactly is my problem with Giffin�’s article? Everything else.

For one thing, Giffin�’s Facebook anecdote is a classic case of the straw person fallacy, where the writer constructs a one-dimension-al caricature of the viewpoint he intends to contest, and then demolishes that caricature with relative ease, given the selective way that the opposition is presented. From the get-go, we readers have an image in our heads of an ignorant, sarcastic commenter who unnecessarily attacks David for his supposed �“privilege.�”

Any oppositional arguments in support of the white privilege critique are tainted by this image. Meanwhile, Giffin is able to support the basic tenants of the white privilege cri-tique, that racism and sexism do exist, while distinguishing himself from the Facebook political crusaders who seem incapable of doing anything but slinging unfounded ad hominems at their opponents.

The problem with this formulation is that it does not give an adequate voice to those who would disagree with Giffin�’s claims.

Any attempt to criticize white privilege is immediately pigeonholed into this caricature. Throughout the rest of the article, �“check your privilege�” is presented forever and always as an ad hominem attack, rather than as what it could and should be�—a constructive prescrip-tion to (yes) check our privilege.

Because we do need to check our privi-lege, especially when it comes to formulating our political views. Politics is the one place where we absolutely must check our privilege,

because our political ideas don�’t just affect us or people like us. When we participate in the political pro-cess, we present ideas about how we think the whole of society should be structured. When I advocate for a par-

ticular policy or support a particular political viewpoint, I must consider how it will affect all members of society�—not just other white males.

This is where the concept of privilege becomes important. Whether I like it or not, the privileges I have enjoyed as a white male have subtly but surely shaped the way I view the world. I unconsciously view obstacles that I have had to personally face as more legitimate than those I have been spared from having to deal with.

I have never had to deal with racial dis-crimination. I have never experienced person-al discomfort or disadvantage due to gendered cultural norms. My privilege has taught me to prioritize issues that affect me personally. As a result, I sometimes forget about the issues that don�’t affect me personally, especially those that I am spared of having to confront simply thanks to the fact that I am male and white. White male privilege does indeed exist. And it does indeed need to be checked.

Do I disagree with the substance of Giffin�’s argument? Not necessarily. Of course it is wrong to exclude someone�’s viewpoint simply because they come from a place of supposed privilege. Of course it is wrong to generalize an entire political party as racist simply because its members tend to be pre-dominantly white and male. Who wouldn�’t agree with that?

Do I disagree with the manner in which Giffin structured his argument? Most defi-nitely, because I believe he glosses over the very real issue that is white male privilege.

But Giffin�’s last point rings true to me. Without rational, level dialogue, there is no way that we as a society can hope to progress. Discussions of white male privilege can and must be a part of that rational and construc-tive dialogue.

AHANA�’s semiannual dance per-formance always comes with a mas-sive range of possibilities.

Where else could you see cari-catures of every type of performer, video-game mockeries and evocative, elegant works, all in the span of one hour?

The diversity of AHANA Dance�’s performances is undoubtedly owed to its role as a vehicle for student artistry. Every single element of the performance is student-created, from the pieces�’ choreography to the tech-nical choices.

The show offers opportunities for independent student choreographers as well as specialized dance groups.

And with that much of a range in choreographers, you never quite know what you�’re going to get.

In the case of AHANA Dance�’s Spring Show 2013, which ran from April 4 though 6 at the Performing Arts Studio in the Burlington Road Building, it meant everything.

The show kicked off with �“Kill This Switch,�” choreographed by College senior Lauren Kaplan and set to Icona Pop�’s exuberant �“I Love It.�”

The piece was visually striking, with arresting colors and sensational tricks, but for the amount of energy generated by the music and Kaplan�’s vivacious choreography, the overall

mood of the piece was surprisingly lackluster.

The show went on to show-case performances by dance team E-Motion, tap group Tap That and several individual choreographers.

For the most part, those pieces were engaging for the span of the performance but didn�’t leave a par-ticularly lasting impression.

Nonetheless, it�’s clear that AHANA Dance�’s choreography as a whole has grown, even over the past couple of years, and that evolution in the sophistication of their movement deserves to be recognized.

But the performance that undeni-ably left audiences talking was that by Trickanometry (TNT), Emory�’s all-male hip-hop group.

Since the club�’s inception four years ago, TNT has garnered an incredible amount of Emory star power for their high-energy perfor-mances, crowd-pleasing satires and explosive hip-hop stunts.

TNT�’s self-titled routine was particularly noteworthy for its col-laboration with Moving in the Spirit, an Atlanta-based organization that strives to inspire confidence and leadership in kids through dance. �“Founded in 1986, Moving in the Spirit reaches over 250 young people annually through dynamic programs that educate, inspire and unite young

took place Friday, April 5 at 7 p.m.The groups sang three phenom-

The first group to perform was No Strings Attached, and let�’s be honest, isn�’t that everyone�’s favorite (for at least all of the girls)?

College junior Benito Thompson was a fan favorite, singing �“Dancing

Cherry Orchard Blends Drama and Comedy

Theater Emory’s current production of The Cherry Orchard presents an aesthetically-strik-ing and emotionally-volatile vision for Russian dramatist and author Anton Chekhov’s final

play. The first thing that strikes viewers upon entering the Mary Gray Monroe Theater (MGMT) is the careful innova-tion with which the physical space itself has been treated; the audience is seated so that they are not wholly separate from the play’s action but simply on its periphery.

The set blends aristocratic interiors with expanses of turf littered with ruins, giving concrete presence to the psycho-logical and social state of many of the play’s characters. Each character contains a certain paradoxical duality — a penni-

less noblewoman, a son of a serf who is nearly a millionaire, a student who will seemingly never graduate — and the set successfully embodies these contradictions.

The Cherry Orchard centers on the return of an aristo-cratic woman, Ranevskaya, to her native home after having lived abroad in Europe for several years. Along with her foppish brother and daughters, Ranevskaya faces the task of finding a way to save the estate’s finances or else risk losing her home at auction later in the year. Audience members soon learn the tragic circumstances under which Ranevskaya originally fled her Russian home, and it’s obvious she has not yet truly found emotional and psychological resolution from that trauma.

A retinue of valets, maids and governesses with concerns of their own attends this noble family in decline, giving the cast a certain upstairs-downstairs feel reminiscent of a twisted version of “Downton Abbey.”

The cast functions well as an ensemble, giving each character the appropriate level of visibility to appear fully developed but reasonably damaged by the situation. As Ranevskaya, however, Theater Emory’s artistic director Jan Akers masterfully provides a center for the discontent group, even if that center is proverbially one that cannot hold.

MOVIE REVIEW

B! S"#$#% W&'()"Staff Writer

If you’re one of those people who rates horror films by the amount of blood on screen at any given time, then Fede Alvarez’s “Evil Dead” is probably going to be your favorite film of all time. Taking cues from its source material, the cult 1981 film “The Evil Dead,” Alvarez quickly makes it clear that he has no qualms about turning the gore up to 11 in every scene. Besides this penchant for ultra-violence, however, “Evil Dead” is a surprisingly by-the-book affair that rips its best moments directly from superior films while showing none of the satirical qualities that made the original film such a classic.

The setup is as old as the genre itself: five stock characters of various back-grounds gather together in an aban-doned cabin in the middle of some creepy woods in order to accomplish a task that they could have easily carried out back in civilization. In this case, a blank slate protagonist named David (Shiloh Fernandez, “Red Riding Hood”), his girlfriend, his sister, a nurse and a bookworm have left civilization in order to get the sister to kick her heroin habit.

Shockingly, they find the cabin, owned by David’s mother, in a state of disrepair and immediately find a bunch of dead animals hanging in the basement, along with a book that is sealed shut. Naturally, instead of piling back into the Jeep and heading for the hills, the five friends decide to stay in the cabin. Naturally, the bespectacled scholar-type decides to take wire-cutters to the seals of the nasty book, and natu-rally, all sorts of awful events follow, most of which involve copious amounts of blood and power tools.

While the plot may be thin at best, that was never the point of horror films to begin with, so it’s easily forgivable.

Far more damaging to the movie’s quality are the characters themselves, who never rise above their designated roles as cardboard cutouts for the evil spirits to take down in increasingly gruesome ways. And of course, in classic horror movie fashion, the five characters have the combined intelligence of a raw potato.

Deep in the movie’s second act, a bloodied David suggests to his book-ish friend Eric (Lou Taylor Picci, “All Together Now”) that perhaps his sis-ter is just infected by a virus that she caught from the dead animals in the cabin’s basement. That’s right — after seeing one of his best friends rip her face off with a piece of glass and his sister give herself third-degree burns in the cabin’s shower, he still rules out the supernatural.

While that previous scene made me laugh, there were little-to-no comic moments to be found anywhere in “Evil Dead.” Even as David’s sister, Mia (Jane Levy, “Suburgatory”), twists her head 360 degrees and shouts obscenities about the next victim’s mother, it feels like a limp shout-out to the source mate-rial, not a shockingly funny moment of self-awareness.

Without the humor element of the formula, the film quickly begins to feel like an exploitative gore-fest with no aim other than to up the ante from the last bloody spectacle. On this level, the film is an unqualified success, but it made me wonder what exactly the point of it all was. Sure, each scene successfully out-performs the last in terms of viscera and filth, but after 70 minutes of watching fingers get smashed or heads chopped off, the effect begins to numb.

As such, it’s hard to recommend “Evil Dead” to anyone but the most rote hor-ror fans — it may hit all the right notes, but it sure is a familiar tune.

* eater Emory Plays With Characterization, Improv in Chekhov’s Last Playater department, commands the audi-ence’s attention in her performance of the endearing, frustrating and deeply-unsettling Ranevskaya. Akers deserves a great deal of admiration for the way she balances Ranevskaya’s aristocratic appearances with the profound trauma she continues to experience. One of the most fascinating parts of watching this production is wondering just when and how severely Ranevskaya will finally lose self-control.

In the role of Ranevskaya’s brother Leonid Andreyevitch, Mark Cabus gives a delightfully sinister performance as an untrustworthy brother and manipulative uncle. Early in the play (and occasionally

thereafter) he straddles a rocking horse in the estate’s nursery, establishing his appearance as a slightly-dangerous over-grown child. As the eternal student and typically-frustrated intellectual Petya, College senior Jake Krakovsky speaks with an authentic blend of conviction and subtle vulnerability.

His political and philosophical speeches provide a great deal of use-ful historical contextualization without feeling heavy-handed or uncomfortably like a lecture.

One unique addition to this pro-duction’s cast in particular is that of the character of Anton Chekhov him-self, the playwright. According to the production’s director, Theater Studies

Department Chair Tim McDonough, “[The] idea [arose] that it might illu-minate The Cherry Orchard to see Chekhov learn something from the play by experiencing whatever happens to him as the story develops.” This addi-tional presence feels a little less than convincing at first but soon feels organic and compelling.

Donald McManus, another theater studies professor and Theater Emory company member, largely plays Chekhov for comedic effect: strolling around play-ing a guitar, passing characters their lines on small slips of paper, whispering in characters’ ears.

Though such gestures garner a laugh from the audience, they also destabilize

the sense of narrative cohesiveness with-in the play. The playfulness of Chekhov the character makes the action of The Cherry Orchard feel almost entirely improvisational, as if the outcome of the story is as unknown to its author as to its characters and the audience who are watching it. In a play that is so much about the cumbersome passage of time, this novel aspect makes the present feel alive and urgent throughout the show.

The laughter drawn by Chekhov’s occasional antics is not undeserved, and for all of its concern with weighty top-ics of death and change, The Cherry Orchard isn’t necessarily entirely a trag-edy. In fact, Chekhov himself subtitled the play as a comedy. At its best moments

this production seizes onto that ambigu-ity of genre, producing moments that are as tragic as only absurdist farce can offer.

There is a melancholic, angry bitter-ness that underlies most of the show’s comedic moments, and it is often the case that the audience experiences that emotional contradiction more authen-tically than during moments that are played in total seriousness.

These farcical moments also allow for the feeling of utter strangeness that per-meates this show, a kind of strangeness that results from feeling as if one is in the middle of this unhappy family’s conflict.

people through dance in order to help them become successful, compas-sionate leaders,�” according to their website.

Before the show began, TNT co-founder and College senior Julio Medina explained alongside Moving in the Spirit director Chris McCord that TNT had recently begun a part-nership with the kids�’ hip-hop group, Men in Motion, and this production marked the first time the boys were performing on the Emory stage.

But by the time TNT�’s slot in the performance arrived, a good half-hour had passed, and most of us audience members had forgotten about that announce-ment and were just anticipat-ing a good old-fashioned TNT performance.

The dancers started upstage, in dim lighting, moving in slow-motion towards the audience.

But as soon as the lights went up and the performers removed their hats, we were thrown for a loop �— this wasn�’t TNT at all, but rather their kid counterparts.

And by and large, these kids were unnervingly exact doppelgangers of the TNT dancers, demonstrating the same commitment and energy, which was a delight to see in action.

The TNT dancers themselves did not disappoint. They kicked off their routine with a satirical movement set to Taylor Swift�’s �“I Knew You Were Trouble,�” even parodying the �“goat version�” of the song that has recently gone viral.

They went on to mimic the old-fashioned Pac-Man video game sounds, and naturally, closed the rou-tine with their trademark hip-hop stunts, bringing the kids back for solos of their own.

Together, the entire team dominat-ed the stage with their fierce, uncom-promising cool and confidence. That collaboration and demonstration of charisma alone was well worth the price of admission.

Additionally remarkable was College sophomore Dana Sokolowski, whose �“Why Don�’t You Like Me�” closed the show on a bang.

The piece featured over a dozen performers, each depicting carica-tures of a different kind of dancer: the prim and proper ballerina, the straight-faced hip-hopper and the Shirley Temple-esque, smile-perma-nently-pasted-on performer, to name a few.

As these dancers got tired, annoyed or frustrated, they gradually moved offstage, eventually returning as changed characters.

The piece exhibited technical talent, characterization and story-

telling, and perhaps most i mp or t a nt ly, the high-fly-ing fun we�’ve come to expect from AHANA Dance.

S e r i o u s , interpretative pieces are beau-tiful, but audi-ence members come across humorous piec-

es like this one so rarely that the tonal shift always comes as a welcome change.Sokolowski�’s willingness to poke fun at herself and how seri-ously artists take themselves could have come across as tactless, but she managed to keep it lighthearted and charming.

Like any ongoing conversation, the AHANA Spring Show came with plenty of filler.

The remainder of the pieces seemed to blend together, often leav-ing the audience with nothing but an impression of the costumes or the music.

Ultimately, this production didn�’t leave me speechless. But AHANA Dance did succeed in providing an entertaining performance and giving Emory students an opportunity to showcase their creativity.

And in that vein, I was definitely impressed with the range, imagina-tion and presence of Emory students. Fortunately, they�’ll be back next semester to continue the conversation.

cappella group. They opened with �“Downfall,�” a song by Matchbox 20 and continued with a Hebrew love song. College senior Michael Goldberg and College freshman Gabrielle Bloch sang the emotional and soothing love song effortlessly.

Finally, College sophomore Becky Morris sang her heart out during a rendition of KT Tunstall�’s song �“Black Horse and the Cherry Tree.�”

Up next was AHANA, Emory�’s R&B a cappella group. AHANA per-formed �“Hate That I Love You�” by Rihanna, �“Halo�” by Beyoncé and a mash-up of Adele songs. The most exciting performance of the three was the Adele mash-up.

Without looking up, one would have thought that Adele was actu-ally singing at Emerson Concert Hall because Goizueta Business School senior Arista Ware had the key and pitch spot on.

The fourth group to perform was The Gathering, Emory�’s only all-female a cappella group. They sang �“Wide Awake�” by Katy Perry, �“Tainted Love�” by Soft Cell and �“Bridge Over Troubled Water�” by

Simon & Garfunkel.The latter was the most memora-

ble, with masterful harmonies and an outstanding performance by College freshman MacKenzie Wyatt. Wyatt�’s small frame definitely did not stop her huge and powerful voice from projecting to all corners of the room.

Aural Pleasure, Emory�’s oldest co-ed a cappella group sang three songs: �“Some Nights�” by fun., �“Let it Be�” by The Beatles and �“Leave My Body�” by Florence & the Machine.

Law student Tye Tavaras brought the entire concert hall to their feet with her amazingly powerful, strong and emotional rendition of �“Let it Be.�” Tavaras was definitely the star of the night.

The second-to-last group to per-form was the Concert Choir, who sang two beautiful pieces. The 50-per-son ensemble was overwhelming. Incredibly, 50 voices came together as one while still managing to create distinct and unique harmonies.

The seventh and final group to perform was Dooley Noted, Emory�’s philanthropic a cappella group.

First, College junior Jenni Seale sang Blondie�’s �“Call Me,�” then College senior Michael DelGaudio

sang a heart-melting rendition of Jason Mraz�’s �“I Won�’t Give Up.�” Finally, the group closed with �“Mercy�” sung by College junior Stephanie Yates.

However, the most interesting aspect of Dooley Noted�’s entire per-formance was the fun and funky choreography that accompanied their final number �“Mercy.�” Spinning, hip-popping and gaudy gestures, and that was just the guys.

The evening ended with the room going black as a faint orange glow began to appear, surrounding all of the a cappella groups that had come together for a final number.

This year, for the first year ever, the finale featured a duet by Laney Graduate School student Tyrone Webb and College senior Chonise Thomas.

The entire group sang a touching rendition of �“Ain�’t No Mountain High Enough.�”

The finale brought the evening home perfectly by reiterating what the night was all about: varying groups coming together to celebrate the common love of a unique musical form: a cappella.

allowed Hendrix to take an early 2-0 lead, with a hit-by-pitch, a walk and two singles putting them on the board in the first inning.

The Eagles responded in the sec-ond inning. Iturrey doubled, advanced to third base on a passed ball and scored on a groundout by sopho-more centerfielder Wes Peacock. The Eagles now trailed by a score of 2-1.

Emory took the lead the next inning. Junior third baseman Ryan Toscano singled and advanced to sec-ond on a sacrifice bunt. Khan then ripped a triple, driving in Toscano.

Junior right fielder Brandon Hannon singled, driving in Khan. A single from Welch, a wild pitch and an Iturrey groundout then brought home Hannon and gave the Eagles a 4-2 lead.

The Eagles added on a run in the fourth inning, when sophomore des-ignated hitter Chris Brown singled, then moved around the bases on a wild pitch, balk and sacrifice fly.

Emory then scored two more in the fifth. A double and a hit-by-pitch put Hannon on first and Khan on sec-ond, and the two executed a double-steal to advance to second and third. Welch hit a sacrifice fly to bring home Khan, then a double by Iturrey drove in Hannon.

The Eagles went on to tack on three more runs in the sixth inning and one more in the seventh, eventu-

ally winning by a score of 11-4. Khan led the offensive outburst, going three for four with a double, two triples, three RBIs and three runs scored.

Iturrey chipped in two doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored, and Hannon also drove in a pair of runners.

�“Offensively, we tore it up,�” Iturrey said. �“Jared Kahn went crazy; he is a warrior-killer. He led our offense this weekend, and everybody else did their job.�”

Merolla picked up the win for the Eagles. He allowed four runs and nine hits over five innings and improved his record to 3-1.

Junior Robert Gross and sopho-more Michael Byman each pitched a scoreless relief inning to close out the game.

�“Our pitchers really held their own,�” Iturrey said. �“They threw a lot of strikes and got deep into the game. They kept Hendrix down in runs so the offense could keep scoring and help us win games. Our relief pitchers did their job really well and kept runs of the board for the most part.�”

The Eagles took the rubber game of the series Sunday afternoon, win-ning by a score of 8-1 behind the pitching of Dylan Finer and the offense of Iturrey.

Finer allowed just one unearned run in five innings on the mound and improved his record to 2-0 on the year and his ERA to 2.84. Junior Robert Gross and sophomore

Graham Bloomsmith contributed two scoreless innings of relief.

Iturrey went two for four in the batter�’s box, including a double, three RBIs and two runs scored.

The Eagles took the lead in the first inning. Kahn singled, extending his hitting streak to 14 games, stole second and scored off a single from Welch.

Hendrix tied the game in the bot-tom of the inning, but the Eagles took the lead for good in the fourth inning. They scored three runs, behind two walks, two wild pitches, a sacrifice fly, an error and a single.

From that point forward, the game was never close. The Eagles added on two runs in the seventh inning and two more in the ninth to close out the 8-1 victory.

The Eagles offense and pitching staffs both performed terrifically over this three-game series. The Eagles scored 20 runs over the three games, while allowing only seven.

The Eagles next take the field tonight, when they travel to Berry College (Ga.).

�“At this point, we need to win every game,�” Iturrey said. �“Berry is going to be really important to continue this streak. The next game is always the most important one, because at the end of the day, we will need all of the wins possible to make that playoff push.�”

who went on to win the next four single matches, winning the overall match by a score of 6-3.

�“Even though we didn�’t come out on top against Williams, each of us fought and gave it our all,�” Loutsenko said. �“I think we�’re definitely more united, and it shows in our matches.�”

Now, Emory will turn its attention to conference play. After a three-week break from game-time, the Eagles are headed to Altamonte Springs (Fla.) for the 2013 University Athletic Association (UAA) Championships. The matches will begin on Thursday, April 25.

Team Tops Div. III Ranked

Opponent

We at On Fire love to rank things. Until recently, our favorite basketball player was Metta World Peace (for the record, we care more about the quantity of different skills unrelated to basketball in a basketball player than we do about the quality of his actual basketball skills).

Here is a quick rundown, for those of our loyal readers who are unfa-miliar with the multitudes of talents of this man. As �“The Captain�” told us in season six of �“How I Met Your Mother,�” all great men name them-selves. Well, Mr. World Peace took this advice straight to heart.

His mother named him Ronald Artest. He first asserted his indepen-dence early in his youth, making it known that he preferred to be called Ron instead of Ronald (in the name of full disclosure, we must confess that we did not ascertain for cer-tain whether Mr. World Peace�’s birth name actually was Ronald [we just assumed that it was] and neither did we investigate into whether it was actually Mr. World Peace�’s decision to shorten that name, if it was his, into Ron).

But Mr. World Peace did not stop there. Living up to The Captain�’s advice, he proceeded to change his name, legally, to Metta World Peace. And in so doing, by the logic of The Captain�’s statement (and we at On Fire hold everything said on �“How I Met Your Mother�” to be infallible), he made himself a great man.

Our resident logicians have point-ed out that The Captain�’s statement was an if/then statement, not an if and only if statement. In layman�’s terms, he was saying that if you are a great man, then you will name yourself, but you can name yourself and still not be a great man. In other words, naming yourself is a neces-sary but not sufficient step in becom-ing a great man.

Regardless, we at On Fire believe that Mr. World Peace is a great man. In addition to naming themselves, all great men excel at more than one thing or at least dabble in several different hobbies (we were unable to find a quote from a minor character on a past-its-prime TV show to say this for us but nonetheless, our read-ers can rest assured that this state-ment was read by two members of our executive board and our excellent Copy Chief before being printed, and therefore must be true).

Well, Mr. World Peace plays bas-ketball by day, but by night he hits the clubs as a rapper. Come to think of it, most basketball games take place at night so he probably hits the studio by day, but either way Mr. World Peace knows how to bust a rhyme. He is so committed to his rapping that he once asked the Detroit Pistons, his former team, for a year off so he could finish his first album.

His request was denied. Big cor-porations and stuffy executives are forever squashing the great ambitions and grand dreams of great men like Mr. Artest. But he tried, and that is all that we at On Fire really care about.

Sports Illustrated once asked Metta what he would name a race-horse, if he owned one. Without hesi-tation (we assume, only having read a print version of the interview), he responded �“Ghetto Fabulous.�”

That little anecdote in no way relates to Metta�’s status as a great man, but we at On Fire find it to be extremely funny.

But this column is not actually about Metta (we just love him so much that he inspires long tangents). This article is about our new favorite basketball player �— Iman Shumpert of the New York Knicks.

Mr. Shumpert passes the many skills test. Like our friend Metta, he is a rapper. But the difference is that, whereas we admire Mr. World Peace for his commitment to the music, Mr. Shumpert is actually good (at least, according to ESPN.com; we at On Fire are terrible at evaluating rap and generally prefer country music).

And music is not his only skill �— this kid also has some great hair. He is bring the high-top fade back, and we at On Fire could not be more excited about it.

The cool thing about the high-top fade is that you can grow it long up top but can still shave funny things onto the side and back of your head. And that�’s exactly what Mr. Shumpert did. He endorses Adidas, and in a spectacular show of brand loyalty, he shaved their logo onto his head.

The NBA told his to shave it off, citing league rules, and in another instance of corporate suits suppress-ing the dreams of great men, the logo went the way of Metta�’s rap album. Now just an awkward triangle remains on Mr. Shumpert�’s head.

This one is for you, Iman. Keep fighting the good fight.

Division I sport. However, athletics scholarships are not offered at the Division III level and this extends to programs that have one Division I sport. (There are certain multi-divisional exceptions, but usually those schools have single Division I programs, which have been grand-fathered in.) The process is also cumbersome.

�“It is timely and it�’s expensive,�” Downes said. There are certain facil-ity requirements and the issue of finding a conference to join, Downes added.

And there is no indication Emory will alter its athletic course any time soon.

�“I�’ve received [Division I] inquires, I think its natural,�” Downes said. �“Institutionally we look like a Division I school. However, we�’ve never had any serious conversations.�”

Nonetheless, though the pos-sibility of seeing Emory dance in March is very dim at best, the topic is worth exploring because, well, other schools are doing it. More specifi-cally, Harvard.

FGCU�’s tournament success this year comes 16 years after graduating its first student.

In short, FGCU has concentrated on beefing up its athletics program as a means to establish itself and grow. To be frank, FCGU is famous because of its basketball team. Their circumstance, for obvious reasons, does not apply to Emory. But what Harvard is doing serves as a better comparison.

President Wagner has often articu-lated the goal to make Emory a �“des-tination school,�” though his actions this past year might suggest other-wise. Harvard is as �“destined�” as a school can be and they, like FGCU, are making moves.

Their reputed smarts proceed them. Read Jack McCluskey�’s ESPN post on Harvard�’s first NCAA tour-nament victory or Bloomberg sports columnist Jonathan Mahler�’s piece

�— that win was no fluke. This year�’s first postseason win

was not due to some sort of Crimson moxie, it was the result of a calculated commitment to the basketball pro-gram. As McCluskey notes, Harvard hired Tommy Amaker as their head coach in the spring of 2007 after he was fired by Michigan. Amaker cut his teeth as a player and then as an assistant coach at Duke, as part of Coach K�’s basketball factory. In other words, Harvard brought in a man straight from the Division I heavy-weights, well versed in not just basket-ball but, more importantly, recruiting. (Amaker lucked into Jeremy Lin, who was already at Harvard when Amaker came on board. Then again, everyone lucked into Jeremy Lin.)

The point is, Harvard is imple-menting a plan, a plan which requires extensive resources.

Yeah Harvard is dedicated to excellence, but only a fool would believe that them wading into the expensive trenches of college basketball is purely out of dedication.

This is a calculated move: the Harvard bigwigs calling the shots believe investing in basketball is justified.

In simpler terms, it is worth it. Trying to conclude exactly how so is speculative, but the incentives are clear. More telling is a school with Harvard�’s cache and hegemony is doing so. Emory also has resources. We have a $5.4 billion endowment. (At least that�’s what the tour guides preach.)

How much �“belongs�” to the College, especially in contrast to the Hospital, is another issue. And a big endowment does not necessarily mean the hard cash that is needed to fund and build a top flight Division I caliber program is available. And

that�’s assuming hard cash will lead to basketball success. My overall point is that Emory has pretty considerable capabilities.

Let�’s be serious, a significant chunk of Emory�’s regular season ath-letics schedule is against regional liberal arts schools; Emory�’s stu-dent body number and financial heft dwarfs many of its opponents. (There are exceptions of course, most nota-bly the formidable swimming pro-gram which faces off against Division I programs on the regular.) Emory is already peculiar for not fielding a football team.

We go to school in Atlanta, but this is still Georgia. Georgia Tech is a 15-minute drive away. And in times when storied foot-ball programs are being shut down, neighbor-ing Georgia State University recently started a football program. Also, did you see how much

that new Falcons stadium will cost the public? ($200 million.) But then again, I think it�’s safe to conclude Emory is not a southern school.

In fact, the University Athletics Association, Emory�’s Division III sports conference, is relatively new, having been founded in 1986. Before then, Emory forewent varsity athlet-ics and focused on physical educa-tion and recreational activities. So Emory�’s athletics program is rela-tively young.

�“Athletics is the front porch to your house. It does bring in more applica-tions, it does attract students,�” basket-ball Head Coach Jason Zimmerman said. �“People know FGC because of what happened in the last two weeks. Is that right? It comes back to the commitment. What is your philoso-phy? Our mission is excellence in the classroom, excellence in the field.�”

Zimmerman and Downes both

emphasized that athletics should reflect the school�’s philosophy. The UAA is comprised of similar schools, (as opposed to being based on geog-raphy like most Division III confer-ences), such as research universities who want to compete in athletics.

�“I feel very strongly that the NCAA needs places like Emory,�” Downes said. �“Talk about the scholar-athlete, it�’s real here. Our primary focus is developing students and using athletics to develop students. Higher education needs places like Emory to justify student athletics.�”

Certainly, for all the glamour and gold, student development is not a top priority for many pure Division I schools. And we haven�’t even gotten started on football. That is not to say Division I is non-academic, just like it is untrue that Division III is not non-competitive.

But without a doubt, things can get pretty ugly at the most competitive level: recruiting scandals, grade scan-dals and other skullduggery.

At the highest competitive level it is difficult not to compromise standards, notably with respect to recruiting.

�“Now if you admit student ath-letes who can�’t handle the academic rigor of your school, you�’re going to have problems,�” Zimmerman said. �“Between getting the most talented athlete you can get and the athletes who can make it at your school aca-demically, I think there�’s a fine bal-ance there.�”

It�’s all about finding the right per-son, which is hard work. Though it is not impossible to run a clean, principled and successful Division I basketball program, there are schools which do so. It seems that Emory is content with staying in its niche for the foreseeable future.

Yes, the benefits of the Division I NCAA tournament are clear, but Emory will not participate. Anticlimactic? Admittedly, and self-ishly, yes.

Another iteration of March Madness is in the books. Kudos to last night�’s newly anointed cham-pions, and kudos to the rest of the basketball powerhouses and their fat T.V. contracts. The players, with their free education, benefit too, of course.

And there are also the underdogs, the yearly cinderellas everyone falls head over heels for. Nine-seed Wichita State was in town for the Final Four. Bonus points if you can tell me which state they are in. Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) dunked their way to the Sweet 16 and onto the national stage.

Harvard, for once not the top dog, won their first-ever NCAA tourna-ment win.

On the basis of their basketball teams, these three schools reaped plenty of benefits, both tangible and intangible. In other words, March was a good month.

There�’s the cold hard cash the teams receive from T.V. contracts. Less tangible, but arguably more important, is the publicity value, as winning teams and cinderellas make for good copy. (Butler University [In.], in a study commissioned by their athletic program, did put a pre-cise number on the publicity value of their 2010 NCAA Championship bid: $639,273,881.82).

To point out the obvious, public-ity equals a higher profile. Even less tangible, but no less important, is the effect a Cinderella-run has on the home school. School spirit is fomented, not just among the kids currently enrolled, but among the (income-earning) alumni.

If you are keeping count, a suc-cessful tourney run generates profit, increases a school�’s popularity and adds excitement to the school�’s com-

munity, among other things.Given the many many incentives, a

successful Division I basketball pro-gram can have, it begs the question: should Emory position its basketball team to compete in Division I and

pursue the potential glory and riches that await?

This is not to denigrate Emory�’s current Division III basketball pro-gram, or the strong athletic program as a whole. The Eagles work hard to

be the best they can be at their level, of this there is no doubt.

Rather, the question is should the Eagles, specifically the basketball program, aim for a higher level?

First off, it is more or less impos-

sible for Emory to do so. According to Athletic Director Tim Downes, schools can be multi-divisonal and Divison III programs can have one

and field participated in a pair of meets over the weekend, with a handful of distance runners heading to the Duke Invitational (N.C.) on Friday and a larger group representing the Eagles at the Terrier Relays in Spartanburg, S.C. on Saturday.

There were multiple standout performances from each day. On Friday, sophomore Stephanie Crane posted a season-best time of 4:41.09 in the 1500-meter run. Sophomore Tamara Surtees also ran a season-best time, clocking in at 18:20.76.

The Eagles also earned a number of first-place finishes on Saturday, led by senior Theresa Ford�’s victories in the long jump and the high jump.

Senior Kaele Leonard fin-ished first in the 400-meter dash, while junior Morgan Monroe won the 100-meter hurdles.

For the men, freshman Jacob Seigel finished seventh in the discus throw.

His mark of 44.02 meters was both a season best and the sev-enth-best mark in meet history.

Junior Brandon Bassell also notched a season-best height in the high jump.

Junior Samuel Jean-Baptise finished the 100-meter dash in a team-best 11.38 seconds.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Graham Bloomsmith pitched twice for the baseball team last week, allowing just one base-runner over three innings of work in the Eagles�’ loss to Birmingham-Southern College (Ala.) and 8-1 victory over Hendrix College (Ark.).

Bloomsmith is now 1-2 on the season with a team-leading 1.50 earned run average and three saves. The Eagles are 15-13 on the season.

The No.3-ranked Emory women�’s tennis team took off on a three-match, northeast road trip this week-end, winning two of three matches. The Eagles defeated No.9-ranked Middlebury College (Vt.) on Friday and No.9-ranked Bowdoin College (Mass.) on Saturday. On Sunday, Emory fell to No.5-ranked Williams College (Mass.).

On Friday, the women defeated Middlebury 7-2 on Middlebury�’s home courts.

In a sweep across all three doubles matches, Emory solidified an early lead in the match.

The Eagles�’ team of junior Gabrielle Clark and freshman Annette Sullivan came together at first doubles, defeating their oppo-nents 8-5.

At second doubles, senior Jordan Wylie and freshman Madison Gordon came out with an 8-4 victory.

Freshman Emma Taylor and junior Brenna Kelly followed with another 8-4 win at third doubles.

�“We have been working more as a unit and really supporting each other and helping one another fight till the very end in all our matches,�” Taylor said.

While the doubles teams were cleaning up on one side of the court, the back end of Emory�’s singles lineup secured the final victory. Freshman Beatrice Rosen, at third singles, defeated her opponent 6-4, 6-1. Wylie followed with a 6-3, 6-3 final score over her competition at fourth singles.

Gordon, at fifth singles, walked off of the court with a 6-2, 6-0 score, and Kelly secured the doubles play with a final mark of 6-4, 6-1 at sixth singles.

On Saturday, the Eagles continued their winning streak with an 8-1 win

over Bowdoin. The match was played at Williams College.

Once again, the doubles teams breezed by the competition. Clark and Sullivan finished with a vic-tory of 8-3 at first doubles. Wylie and Gordon brought home an 8-5 win at second doubles. Rounding out the doubles victories were Taylor and Kelly, earning an 8-4 final score at third doubles.

At this match, the singles play proved to be just as successful. The Eagles defeated their opponents in five out of the six matches. Clark slaughtered her opponent 6-2, 6-2 at first doubles. Rosen continued power-ful play with a triumph of 6-3, 6-0 at third singles.

The baseball team played three games against the Hendrix College Warriors (Ark.) this weekend, losing the first game of a double-header Saturday by a score of 2-1. The Eagles went on to win the second game 11-4, and won the third game of the series 8-1 on Sunday. The Eagles�’ record now stands at 15-13 on the season.

�“I thought we did a really good job coming out and taking two out of three,�” junior left fielder Daniel Iturrey said. �“We just need to main-tain the consistency �— keep hitting and keep pitching, and everything else will fall into place. Everyone has

been doing their jobs, and that�’s what we need to keep doping.�”

In the first Saturday game, the Eagles and Warriors played scoreless baseball for the first two innings. The Eagles took the lead in the third, however, behind the efforts of junior shortstop Jared Kahn. Kahn singled and stole second then scored on a sin-gle from junior catcher Jared Welch. The hit was the 100th of Welch�’s career.

The Eagles entered the fourth inning carrying a 1-0 lead. Freshmen Tyler Sprague was pitching for the Eagles, and with one out in the inning, he allowed three consecutive singles, and the Warriors tied up the game.

Sprague went on to pitch through the fifth inning and allowed just one run and seven hits while recording a no-decision. He was relieved by junior Matt McMahon.

The score remained knotted at 1-1 until the bottom of the eighth inning. Hendrix loaded the bases with two walks and a single, and then McMahon allowed another walk to bring home the winning run.

McMahon took the loss and fell to 2-3 on the year. However, he only allowed one hit over his three innings on the mound.

Freshman Paul Merolla started the second game for the Eagles. He

�“This is a young team,�” Browning said. �“We�’ve had a lot of guys step up.�”

Kahler and Wagner improved their record to 16-3 on the season, includ-ing a 12-2 mark in the No. 1 spot. The Eagles did not fare as well in the other two doubles matches.
