ern Jordan, teaching English at agrs sh.

While at Brown, I took Arabicclasses and even studied abroad inCar r a y ar, sh wrt ae-mail to he Herald. However,even during my study abroad ex-perience, I elt that my knowledgewas largely academic and that I

had little idea what day-to-day s ra y k.

Chiu was sworn in as a vol-unteer last month, so the real

substa hr wrk has yt tbegin, she wrote. But because shes wth a hst amy ad uyparticipates in their daily rou-ts, sh has arady bgu thchallenging yet rewarding transi-tion to a new set o traditions andustms, sh wrt.

Integrating into a new cul-ture and society is never easy, shewrote. It takes time and patienceand oten includes a air amounto conusion and sel-doubt. AmI doing this wrong? Did I just

oend someone? Is this or thatuturay apprprat?

Like Chiu and Wood, 19 otherBrw udrgraduat aums arcurrently serving abroad anddealing with their own set o chal-lenges. Each volunteer bringshis own expectations, history,tradt, sad Nrm rmbay,a rrutr ad rtur utr.

he 21 Brown alums are serv-ing in Asia, Arica, Europe andSouth America. hough each vol-unteer has a unique living situ-ation and experience, all work

duat, hath, busss ryuth dpmt.

Brown is currently the 25thlargest eeder school or the PeaceCorps among medium-sized uni-

versities and colleges, with 21 vol-utrs th d.

Partly because o their sel-directed academic phil osophy,Brown students have traditionallybeen successul applicants to theincreasingly selective program,rmbay sad.

Wood oered a similar ex-

planation or Browns high rank-ing among Peace Corps eedershs.

Sm th r trats that Iobserved in the Brown communi-ty were resourceulness, lexibili-ty, independence, a willingness towork hard, social conscientious-ness and a taste or adventure,he wrote. hese are also someo the most important qualitiesin successul volunteers, so itsnot surprising that many o thepeople attracted to Brown are alsodraw t th Pa C rps.

Part o the reason Jason Reeder11 decided to apply to volunteerwith the Peace Corps in the Mid-d East r Nrth Ara was hsrsat wth Chu, h sad.Nearly 600 Brown g raduates havecompleted Peace Corps terms, ac-rdg t a rt prss ras,so there are plenty o alums avail-able to share their experienceswth ptta appats.

Reeder also ound currentBrown students on campus to bequt udrstadg hs d-sion to consider working or 27

months in minimal living condi-ts hag r y abut$6,000 r $7,000.

I dont eel like an outlier ap-plying to Peace Corps. I eel verysupported, Reeder said. heydont ask why I would want todo something that is diicult andpoorly inancially compensated.

Reeder has not yet decidedwhether he wants to commit toth Pa Crps. But h sad hss t as w ways t da magu, g-trm pr-ence abroad, even i it does in- a t prsa sar.

Its kind o a masochism thatmakes me want to do it at all,

In addition to administrativereorganization, the University hasb takg stps t urag a-ulty members to write more grantprpsas.

One o the main things I do is totry to be aware o opportunities andthen to try to get that inormation all

to aculty, Briant said. One recentstrategy has been to have programrs rm th Nata Isttutso Health talk to Brown aculty aboutthe NIHs unding areas and whatunders might look or in grant pro-psas.

wo years ago, the Universityalso hired Lewis-Burke Associates,a government relations organization,to alert aculty o unding opportuni-ts, Brat sad.

Although the amount o und-ing has increased, the Universityhas not seen a large change in thepercentage o unds coming rom

dfrt ags, Brat sad, add-ing that the NIH provides the largestportion o Browns ederal undingsources, ollowed by the NationalScience Foundation. Te Universityalso attracts unding rom several pri-

vate organizations and oundations,including General Motors, Pzer,IBM, the Howard Hughes Medical

Isttut ad th Wam ad FraHewlett Foundation, according to theUniversity research prole publishedast mth.

When the economic stimuluspackage was signed into law twoyears ago, researchers were unsurei its efects would last. Some worriedthe stimulus would give out enoughgrats t st a hghr stadard thatwould be dicult to reach when the

stmuus udg dd, sad MarkBertness, proessor o biology andhar th Dpartmt Egyad Eutary Bgy.

Another concern was that in-creased competition or grants woulddiscourage young researchers anddrive them out o the eld, accordingto a March 2008 report, co-sponsoredby th Ursty, ad A BrkPipeline? Flat Funding o the NIH

Puts a Generation o Science at Risk.Now, Bertness said, researchers

Bertness added his division,which is largely NSF-unded, hasseen its unding nearly triple overthe last our years. Faculty in his divi-sion have seen their unding double.

he key to writing a greatmemoir, Sabar said, is to wrestle th pag wth th mag yur past.

Sabar said that in his experi-ence as a creative writing teacher,most students hold back inor-mation about themselves out oembarrassment. He said writersshould think about their narrative as athr prs t adths a mmr.

But the memoir author must

be discerning with an unsparingcritique o your own lie, he said,adding that memoir writers mustha th rght baa trstad attahmt.

Memoir is not journalism,Sabar said. Te memoir writermay bend or elaborate on theacts, but you do have a contractwth yur radrs, Sabar sad.

For his story, Sabar interviewedover 100 people, traveled twice tothe Middle East and listened tomay ra hstrs. I watd tgt th sstas rght ad rthe rest, he said. He comparedhs pr as hagg a w

Te other day, I saw an advertise-ment or Te Social Network, abest picture nominee. In case youmissed it, the movie is about this guy

named Mark Zuckerberg who madea website that allowed people youve

r mt t k at pturs yuad t yu t sam ptry rad-ings. Anyway, this new trailer eaturesthe intense Kanye West song Powerin the background, presumably tohighlight Zuckerbergs hubris andpursuit o money presented in thelm. Te song has one o those catchybeats you end up singing under yourbrath ut a yur rds watt strag yu.

E thugh th V was shw-ing Andrew Gareld smashing acomputer and jabbing his nger in

ths r th tp t m Suday.Ad why t? Trs a t pwrtied up in this Super Bowl. Te Steel-ers are pursuing their third SuperBowl in six years. Tat would givequartrbak B Rthsbrgr hsthird title and move him into a tieamong active quarterbacks or cham-pshps wth m Brady.

Excuse me (vomits). Okay, Imgd r w.

Ys, a w ths Suday wud a-low Roethlisberger to plop his amplerame in the discussion or best quar-trbaks ths ra. O urs, hhave to go through a ellow candidate

in Aaron Rodgers and the Green BayPackers. Its a game with some in-triguing matchups, so I think it wouldbe un or us to run through some othem and analyze which team hasth dg.

Qtbcs

How on Earth do you make ateam led by a guy who has twochampionships and has willed histeam through the playofs the un-derdog when you have never played a Supr Bw br? Yu put upa quarterback rating o 109.2 andthrw r 70 yards th payfs.You go into the No. 1 seeds houseand drop our touchdowns on them.Yu put th hampshp btwhenever you have a big play.

Its dty a physa sprt theres not a lot o sports where play-ers are colliding with each other atsuch high speeds. But I dont see itas being a whole lot more violent

ve-minute penalty. So lots o peopledt agr wth that, but ts kd just a part th gam.

and I didnt want to let it pass me by.

kind o team we play hard and we

dont make it easy or the oppositionto get a win. Were a top team, and

weve got a lot o ofensive upsideths yar mpard t yars past, sthats kda hpd m a t. Topportunity to play with some reallygood players that Ive played with hasb hug r m.
