2000 Commonwealth Ave., an upscale apartment building acquired by the University in 2008, will be renovated into a dormitory for students as part of Boston College’s plans to expand student housing. The building, projected to reopen in the summer of 2016, was purchased from Archstone Properties to be used as undergraduate housing.

Administrators fi nalized plans to remodel the building in June and began construction on Sept. 1. Th e addition, part of the Universi-ty’s Institutional Master Plan, will contribute to BC’s goal of meeting 100 percent of the de-mand for undergraduate housing, according to University Spokesperson Jack Dunn.

Previously, a management company had run the building and the apartments were available to students for rent. With the new construction, 2000 Commonwealth Ave. will

Members of Climate Justice at Bos-ton College marched up the Million Dollar Stairs in the 50-degree weather, under strong winds and overcast skies, to hold a vigil in front of the statue of St. Ignatius on Friday afternoon. The pro-testers used the opportunity to renew their call for University President Rev. William P. Leahy, S.J., and the school’s Board of Directors to divest from fossil fuels and the oil companies Shell, BP, and Exxon-Mobil.

The march was partly an effort to make other students aware of the or-ganization at the beginning of a new school year, but was also a response to Pope Francis’ recent encyclical that addressed climate change and its vic-tims around the world, particularly in developing countries.

Prominent Boston College donor and Lynch School namesake Carolyn Lynch passed away Th ursday at the age of 69, two weeks after receiving a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. In 1999, Peter and Carolyn Lynch donated $10 million to what was then known as the BC School of Education. Mary Brabeck, the dean at the time, used a common biblical analogy to explain the ef-fect the Lynches’ donation would have: if you give a man a fi sh, he’ll eat for a day, but if you teach him to fi sh, he’ll eat for life, and can teach others as well. At the time, the gift was the largest BC had ever received.

Th e next year, the School of Education was renamed the Carolyn A. and Peter S. Lynch School of Education to honor the Lynches. In 2009, Carolyn Lynch received an honorary degree from the University.

“I am deeply grateful to Carolyn for her vision and generosity in supporting education and her dedication to improving educational and life outcomes for chil-dren,” said Maureen Kenny, dean of LSOE.

In 1988, the Lynch Foundation was started by Caro-lyn, who served as president, and Peter, who serves as treasurer. Th e Foundation sees giving as an investment, and it primarily supports educational programs, like the Parents Alliance for Catholic Education and St. Joseph Preparatory High School.

Th e Lynch Leadership Academy was established in 2010 following a gift from the Lynches. Its goal is to strengthen leadership for those in middle- and early-education, off ering about 30 fellowships each year to aspiring or current principals.

In addition, Lynch served as a board member for the Campus School. One of Lynch’s greatest contributions to the school of education was her ability to connect BC with the local community, said Rev. Joseph O’Keefe, S.J., who served as dean of LSOE from 2005 until 2011. During this time, he was instrumental in setting up the Lynch Leadership Academy.

“In that sense, I think her funding provided a lot of bridge building,” he said.

When not working to further education, Carolyn quietly gained fi ve national titles on the bridge circuit. She was a “grand life master,” the highest ranking in the American Bridge League. She played about an hour or two online each day, and spent nine weeks out of the year traveling to tournaments. Earlier this spring, she told Th e Boston Globe that she found her success surprising.

“I’m really pretty happy with my life, but I’ve never done anything I’m really great at,” Carolyn said. “I’ve always been kind of average, so it’s odd to be 60-something-years-old and fi nd out you’re good at something.”

In the educational sector, O’Keefe said Carolyn was passionate about bringing together people from disparate sectors of education—charter schools, or private schools—and encouraging a common agenda for children and education. BC acted as a broker and built bridges between these communities, with the help of Carolyn, he said.

Both of Carolyn’s parents were teachers, and her father was also a principal, so she grew up immersed

was a matter of life and death because rising sea levels—an effect attributed to climate change—directly threatened the existence of his community.

“We are squabbling over 0.005-per-cent risk in shifting investments, while people like this man are fighting for their lives,” Muzdakis said. “Climate Justice at BC would like to ask everyone at Boston College to step outside of themselves and take a look at what our actions are doing to people in the global community.”

Friday’s march was the first event that CJBC has held as a registered stu-dent organization (RSO), and the first event that has been approved by the administration. The small turnout for the march, however, caused Muzdakis to question whether their registered status has actually hurt the group.

Last year, he said, they were getting big turnouts for their rallies and events, and by becoming a registered organiza-tion, CJBC has lost some of the sense of rebellion and power it had at the end of the spring semester. Although he said he couldn’t speak on behalf of the group, Muzdakis believed that the administration conceded the registered status in order to take away the nar-rative of the University suppressing

Life-safety and new common spaces have been designated as the prime focus of the proj-ect to create a livable and social environment for BC students. Th is will come at the cost of the balconies and a pool previously found at 2000 Comm. Ave.

“Out of concern for the safety and well-being of our students, the balconies will be unavailable for student use,” said Associate Vice President for Student Aff airs George Arey. “Th e pool will be removed and replaced with outdoor common-area space.”

Th e development will include the addi-tion of lounges and study rooms. BC has also planned for the replacement of windows, the installation of new elevators, and various mechanical upgrades.

“I think it will be a nice building when we’re done,” Connors said. “It’s going to be a pretty busy building.”

“[My hope is] that we will create a vibrant and engaging residential community for our campus,” Arey said.

The walls were plastered with Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign posters, “Clinton for President” stick-ers cluttered the tables, and even the desks were in the shape of an “H.”

At the first Boston College Stu-dents for Hillary meeting on Thurs-day night, organized by James Cody, MCAS ’16, and Frank DiMartino, MCAS ’17, students from several Boston schools met to discuss their student bodies’ efforts to support Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as she runs for President of the United States in 2016.

Representatives from the Clinton campaign also spoke at the meeting about organizing events and begin-ning grassroot campaign efforts at the individual schools. Eden Tesfaye, an engagement organizer for the Clinton campaign, will be working closely with the different schools in the Bos-ton area to plan future events.

“Boston College Students for Hillary will be an integral part of our campaign’s efforts to help mobilize supporters for the Massachusetts primary on March 1,” said Tyrone Gayle, spokesman for Hillary for America. “From her plans to make college more affordable to combating campus sexual assault to building an economy that works for everyone, this group will be on the front lines of sharing Hillary’s vision and agenda across the campus.”

Students also split into small groups to discuss organizing tactics and ways to convince undecided vot-ers to vote for Clinton. The groups talked about how to develop their

personal stories and use them in context to sway voters.

After working as interns on the national campaign this past summer, Cody and DiMartino connected to bring a Clinton student support group to BC. Originally DiMartino worked with the Office of Student Affairs to create a registered student organization, but BC has specific and tight regulations for political organi-zations that would take months to implement, DiMartino said.

”We’re not trying to speak for BC or put BC into any awkward posi-tions,” DiMartino said. “We know that there are students on BC’s cam-pus that support Hillary, students that don’t, but we want to make sure that there is an outlet for those who do support her. But we also want to make sure we respect the policies of the University.”

In order to quickly create an outlet for Clinton supporters, BC Students for Hillary joined as a sub-group of College Democrats of BC. College Democrats will sponsor the group to book rooms for meetings, fund refreshments for events, and schedule guest speakers. BC Stu-dents for Bernie and BC Students for O’Malley, other student-run political campaign groups on campus, also plan to work through the College Democrats of BC, Cody said.

As the president of College Dem-ocrats of Massachusetts, Cody plans to use the organization to connect the different groups around the city of Boston, including student groups at Harvard, Emerson, Boston Uni-versity, Tufts, and several other local universities.

The Boston College Law School Rappaport Center hosted a forum on Sept. 30 in Roxbury about the transit system in Dud-ley Square. Panel moderators included Boston’s chief of eco-nomic development John Barros, Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative Executive Director Juan Leyton, Smarter in the City Founder Gilad Rosenzweig, and Former Chief Legal Counsel to the MBTA Rachel Rollins, ac-cording to the Office of News and Public Affairs.

Discussion during the pan-el included the transportation needs of the community and ways to improve access to Dudley Square. Residents, however, may be skeptical about how much input they have in future plan-ning, because of a history of weak cooperation, Leyton said.

“There is a historical memory that has to do with being mar-ginalized,” he said at the event. “It may not have anything to do with some of us here, but it needs to be addressed.”

Barros said that more needs to be done around transit hubs like Dudley. Boston has invested $115 million in the redevelopment of the Bolling Municipal Building, where the panel took place. This investment is followed by private development projects worth around $200 million. Coopera-tive planning is key in improving the transit in order to connect residents with jobs and attract development, Pollack said.

“I am very happy to be here in Dudley Square with the business I’m running and many more busi-nesses will come here because of this building and the growth that is taking place,” Rozensweig said.

Bernie Sanders drew a crowd of over 20,000 to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center on Saturday, filling the center to capacity, with an overflow of attendees spilling onto the lawn outside to watch the Vermont senator on a projector. They were all there to hear the bids of the candidate, in what was the largest rally for a presidential primary candidate in the city’s recent history, according to The Boston Globe.

Among the thousands were sev-eral Boston College students, at-tending collectively as BC Students for Bernie Sanders, a newly formed student group with the aim of student organization around the democratic presidential candidate. The rally was, in many ways, a fitting launching point for the student organization’s efforts this year.

The club seeks to generate student support for Sanders by promoting an informed dialogue on Sanders within the student political landscape of the University. BC for Bernie was created this summer, the result of the efforts of sisters Chandler and Camryn Hicks, MCAS ’16 and MCAS ’18, respectively. Ameet Kallarackal, CSOM ’18, joined the club’s helm

shortly thereafter. Together, the three undergraduates manage the club, which, for now, is largely organized around the group’s Facebook page. The administrators of the club hope to use social media as an organizing tool, where members can learn about upcoming events and stay updated on the candidate.

Still in its early stages of orga-nizational development, the club hopes to gain traction and popular-ity through its first planned event, a viewing of the Democratic primary debate on Oct. 13. Not a registered student organization, it is largely an organizing effort for student promo-tion and advocacy of Sanders, who is currently leading in presidential polls among Democrats in Iowa and New Hampshire. BC Students for Bernie hopes to collaborate with other politi-cal student organizations on campus in the future, in an effort to create a productive dialogue with representa-tives from all political leanings.

“The goal would be to have people that have fundamentally different views, and then examine those can-didates and see what’s different, why are they different, and how can we come to some better understanding of reality,” Kallarackal said.

Widely known for his brand of “democratic socialism,” Sanders’

platform includes a broad range of progressive social and fiscal reforms, including addressing income inequal-ity through heightened taxation, raising the minimum wage, and intro-ducing legislature to address climate change, among other issues. Sanders has self-defined his socialist platform as endeavoring to create a “govern-ment which represents all people, rather than just the wealthiest people,” citing health care, education, decent housing, and child care as basic rights a nation should afford to its citizens, according to The Washington Post.

“Democratic socialism means do-ing what it takes to give everyone the chance to succeed, and then at that point, giving them the opportunities to succeed and be independent on their own,” Kallarackal said.

While there is still some stigma associated with the “socialist” label, Sanders has garnered widespread support, especially within the student demographic. Sanders’ impassioned rallies have been especially instru-mental in the candidate’s campaign trail. Kallarackal noted that Sanders’ speech at the Boston rally elicited very strong reactions from the audi-ence.

“It’s his passion that carries straight through,” Kallarackal said. “You see this guy—a reddish face and

light hair—he’s just moving around and so impassioned and so genuine. He was just a normal guy, saying very candid things that struck really deep chords.”

Within the complex political landscape at the University, the club has seen heightened student support for Sanders—an interest that the or-ganization sees as, in part, the result of the progressive political leanings of pope Francis. Sanders has been out-spoken about his admiration for the pope, often citing him in his speeches and campaign emails. For Kallarackal, the pope has opened the conversation on progressive politics at a University with traditionally conservative politi-cal leanings, closely associated with its Jesuit Catholic religious identity. In talking about Sanders, it is easy to find common ground with someone in discussing the progressive social views of the Pope, which align closely with Sanders’ agenda, Kallarackal notes.

“Whether or not they’re conser-vative or liberal to begin with, this is a point of conversation—the begin-ning,” Kallarackal said. “What I find is when I talk to someone—even if they lean conservative—this [the pope] is something we can talk about, this is common ground, and we can build off of that. I think that’s powerful.”

The four-day Our Common Home Conference concluded last Thursday, having featured talks by prominent leaders like Senator Ed Markey and Cardi-nal Peter Turkson. The confer-ence was noted by several news outlets, including The Boston Herald, The Washington Times,and French financial daily news-paper, Les Echos.

Laudato Si , Pope Francis ’ encyclical on climate change, formed the basis for the confer-ence. The speakers explored the Pope’s message and what can be done to avert the course of climate change.

In addition to Markey and Turkson, speakers included John Holdren, assistant to the President of the United States for Science and Technology; Maryanne Loughry, associate director of the Jesuit Refugee Service Australia; and Andrew Revkin, environment reporter for the New York Times, among others.

“In many ways, what we were able to do started with Cardinal Turkson’s decision to join us and be one of our keynote speakers,” said James Keenan, S.J., direc-tor of the Jesuit Institute and an organizer of the event. “He is the recognized authority on the encyclical and his presence brought many of the leading scholars and thinkers in this field to campus to speak about an issue of crucial importance to us all.”

campaign efforts by encouraging stu-dents to register to vote, developing support throughout the University, staffing phone banks, and canvass-ing throughout the Chestnut Hill area. The primary goal of the group, however, is to engage students in the presidential campaigns and help them to make educated decisions when it comes time to vote, DiMartino said.

”Whatever people end up choosing, in the end, we just want them to make an informed deci-sion,” he said.

BC Students for Hillary is re-cruiting students to travel to New Hampshire on Oct. 10 to knock on doors for Hillary. The group hopes to continue similar trips along with other “get out the vote” efforts in the coming months.

”The goal is to engage students around the country at different campuses, both on the issues that matter to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, but also to organize ‘get out the vote efforts’ for youth and college students,” DiMartino said.

College Democrats of Mas-sachusetts brought roughly 120 to 160 students to New Hampshire

for the Democratic convention, and this enthusiasm from young voters will make a significant difference in Clinton’s campaign, Cody said.

“That energy is palpable in the room,” he said. “When Hillary got up on stage, the crowd was loud and into it. A lot of that comes from us being younger, us being into it, and us being more engaged. We need to work to get our voices heard.”

Because the group is not an official organization at BC, lead-ers cannot spread flyers around campus, set up tables in the dining hall, or use other recruiting efforts similar to other groups on campus. Cody and DiMartino have put a strong emphasis on social media to spread awareness. They have created Facebook pages specific to both BC and the Boston-area schools.

“We want to organize students to go out and do events, whether it be registering voters on campus, doing different canvassing events in the city of Boston, or mobilizing to go up to New Hampshire for events,” DiMartino said.

CJBC, without addressing the real issue of divestment.

“Becoming an RSO was just a step along the way to show that we’re gaining recognition with the school’s administration,” Muzdakis said. “I personally believe that we could get a lot more accomplished if we weren’t an RSO.”

Memb ers of C JB C were joined by students in the School of Theology and Ministry who were in support of the Pope’s encyclical and were concerned

that BC is not doing enough as a Jesuit institution to fight climate change with their investments.

Eddie Sloane, a Ph.D. candi-date in STM, said that the Pope’s encyclical was a call to action for everyone to take a closer look at their own actions.

The encyclical, he said, has ignited a discussion within the STM and did a good job con-necting the broader tradition of Catholic social teaching to environmental and ecological issues.

BC, Sloane said, needs to embrace the teachings of Pedro

Arrupe, a widely known Jesuit form the mid-20th century.

Arrupe believed that institu-tions, especially Jesuit institu-tions, should not profit from injustice, and Sloane said that the encyclical was a call to action for institutions like BC.

“BC profits from investments in fossil fuels, and the Pope’s encyclical makes it very clear that there’s an injustice,” Sloane said.

“The fossil fuels are dispro-portionately affecting the poor and we’re called to have a prefer-ential option for the poor.”

After Lynch School professor Mike Barnett presented at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-nology Maker Faire this past fall, the Chinese Delegation regard-

ing American education systems and curriculum approached his research and development team, the Innovations in Urban Science Education. They began to discuss how they could collaborate to build upon the strengths of both systems.

Barnett has since been in-volved in an effort to develop a curriculum in China that in-corporates a larger emphasis on critical thinking. For him, research opportunities at Boston College came in the form of the availability of the University’s greenhouse as a research and development space, as well as in the University’s support of his team in obtaining federal fund-ing through the National Science Foundation and the USDA. In the past, he has done significant research, specifically in hydro-ponics, which has supported urban youth in various areas of their learning.

China’s education system has

typically been founded in rote learning, where the primary focus is memorization of facts. This has come, however, at the cost of further development in critical thinking, Barnett said.

“Technology has certainly increased our access to informa-tion, while reducing the need to memorize,” said Susan Bruce, professor and chair of the Teach-er Education, Special Education, Curriculum, and Instruction department of LSOE. “The abil-ity to apply what you know, solve problems, and see connections among what you’ve learned is critical preparation for a chang-ing world.”

The Chinese education sys-tem is built heavily upon memo-rization and uniformity, Bar-nett said. This concentration is emphasized with the goal for students of performing well on the national test. The system works well for this outcome, but hinders academic creativity. Still, China’s education system has been around significantly longer than America’s, and rote learning remains important in both countries.

“In mathematics, knowing your multiplication tables is very useful,” Barnett said. “If you know your multiplication tables then that frees up cogni-tive resources to focus on the problem at hand instead of hav-ing to use cognitive abilities to work through the multiplication. Both have their place, but rote learning should be secondary to learning that supports critical thinking and creativity.”

Although Chinese educa-tors initially wanted to adopt and implement the entirety of America’s curriculum at first, Barnett chose to take a differ-ent course of action. With the intention to preserve rote learn-ing while implementing more

critical thinking, Barnett began to evaluate the Chinese curricu-lum, along with his R&D team, particularly Anne Vera-Cruz, Paul Xu, Paul Madden, and Amie Patchen. They determined the concepts focused on in China, and re-wrote, or, in many cases, developed new curriculum ma-terials that were better aligned with the concepts that Chinese teachers are expected to teach.

“This should help a Chinese teacher to utilize our materials in their classrooms since the lessons are now aligned with the concepts they have to teach,” Barnett said.

In May, Barnett spent a little over a week in China, visiting schools and after-school centers,

and working with lead contacts in the nation. He has plans to return in November with Amie Patchen, one of the members of his Ph.D. team working on the China project. Then, they will visit new schools, as well as receive feedback from teachers on the revised curriculum. Ulti-mately, they will begin training teachers sometime in January 2016.

The hope is to slowly expand to 500 teachers over the next three to five years. Barnett is working toward creating a core set of master teachers in China that will begin the shift to a prob-lem-based teaching approach. This will allow for the system to spread from within the country,

with less support needed from the team in America.

In this development, Barnett hopes to engage students in the Lynch School in teaching in China, beginning in the summer of 2016.

One of the major focuses of the project, however, is not just altering China’s curriculum, but also on learning from the benefits of their system, Barnett said.

“One of the biggest differ-ences is that teachers are highly respected in China, and in the U.S. they are not and are often blamed for the system’s short-comings,” Barnett said. “The respect for teachers is something that the United States can learn from China, for sure.”

As a result, the project is a five-year experiment to integrateproblem-based learning and, ifpromising results arise, a muchlonger-term initiative, Barnett said.

“We hope we will be able tosupport youth in learning sci-ence through a way that encour-ages them to be critical thinkersand to support them in not justlearning about the ecological footprint of their nation, butalso how to help reduce that footprint,” Barnett said.

“We also hope to do the same with teachers … that we will learn from them how wecan leverage what they do wellto improve our work here in theUnited States.”

At the bottom of the Million Dollar Stairs, students met to rally to convince the University to divest from fossil fuels.

Since its opening in 1864 on the South End’s Harrison Ave., Boston College’s his-tory has been essential to the culture of the school. Driven by economic progress and institutional growth, the University has transformed through the years from a small school for Irish-Catholic immigrants to one with a global reach. BC’s diverse history is brought to light in the student-researched exhibit, #WeWereBC, which opened Sept. 17 and runs until January on the third floor of Stokes Hall.

Sponsored by the history department and BC Libraries, #WeWereBC gives students a chance to learn more about about lesser-known pieces of BC history.

Situated on the third floor of Stokes Hall, #WeWereBC focuses on aspects of the Uni-versity’s first 100 years, from football rivalries to presidents. Lesser-known artifacts of BC history include the Women’s Philomatheia Club, highlighted by Jenny Frese, BC ’15, the evolution of Lower Campus from a reservoir to the familiar buildings there today, and the students’ shock over the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

While many know about BC football’s Doug Flutie, the major football rivalry between BC and The College of the Holy Cross, as highlighted in a piece by Daniel Latu, MCAS ’16, is a lesser known piece of the school’s history.

Associate Director of the Institute of Jesuit Studies Seth Meehan is proud of all the work his students have accomplished for the exhibit, compiled in his “Making History Public: Boston College” spring 2015 course. Fourteen undergraduates partook in the exhibit, each contributing to one of the exhibit’s topics.

Meehan believes that all the topics are noteworthy, and he is especially proud of the students’ continuity between themes. “I can’t pick one topic as more noteworthy than the other, but there is an overall theme

of recovering lost aspects throughout the exhibit,” he said.

The students took leadership in creating the exhibit, meeting and debating once a week. “Throughout the course, debate was primary to the student experience ... The students found things they didn’t know about before,” Meehan said.

The students even designed the exhibit, choosing the appearance of an old yearbook. Unlike past courses that used information from a variety of sources, the students were able to get all of their information directly from Burns Library.

In preparation for the exhibit, the stu-dents presented their information to the class many times, culminating in both a 10-page research paper and a final presentation before University President Rev. William P. Leahy, S.J., Associate University Librarian for Special Connections Christian DuPont, Editor of Boston College Magazine Ben Birnbaum, and Clough Millennium Chair in History James O’Toole.

So far, the exhibit has been well received by the public. Not only is #WeWereBC promoted through signage around campus, but it has also been promoted on twitter, encouraging interest and attendance.

When asked whether there were any challenges creating the exhibit, Meehan laughed, eventually indicating that the only challenge was “how passionate the students were.” According to Meehan, the class was very fortunate—the students encountered only minor technical difficulties in deciding how the exhibit should work.

Part of the Making History Public col-laboration courses—very popular classes into which it is difficult to gain entrance—#WeW-ereBC is endorsed by the Burns Library and the history department, which chooses a theme each semester for the students to research.

After the #WeWereBC exhibit closes at the end of the fall semester, the “Monuments and Mentality” exhibit, another Making His-tory Public course, will open.

It’s on the news. It’s mentioned extensively in many political circles. It’s being widely debated in academic circles. People, especially young, middle class people, notice it. Income inequality is everywhere today, and it will continue to rise to collective consciousness as we enter the 2016 presidential election season.

“It is natural for some to make more money than others,” said Geoffrey Sanzenbacher, a professor within the economics department and research economist within the Center for Retire-ment Research at Boston College. “Some jobs require more skill and education than others, some jobs are more danger-ous than others so they pay more, some jobs are less attractive than others and therefore pay more to compensate, and so forth.”

The recent surge in inequality has other factors, too. One of the most-cited reasons for this surge is globalization. “With the opening of trade, low-income workers in the developed world tend to face fierce competition from other

workers of the same type in the develop-ing world, so their incomes go down or stagnate,” Sanzenbacher said. “However, there isn’t a significant number of high income workers in developing countries to compete with high income workers in the developed world, so their wages go up.”

Another reason is that technological changes in developed countries have been largely skill-biased. “Computeriza-tion has substituted for an important part of low-income, low-skill, job-like automated registers at CVS and so on, but hasn’t substituted high-skill jobs that pay high salaries,” Sanzenbacher said. “This has only hurt low-income workers’ salaries.”

Then there is the explanation given by economists like Thomas Piketty, which is that capital is concentrated mostly at the top of the income distribu-tion and the returns of capital exceed the returns of anything else.

Therefore, income continuously increases for the people at the top and makes them more apt to concentrate more capital. This process was signifi-cantly exacerbated by financial deregu-lation in the 1980s and 1990s, which led

to more financial innovation and made finance much more profitable.

Now, what is this recent surge in inequality causing? Nothing good. “While some inequality is always de-sired in the economy, since you want to reward those who innovate, who work the hardest, and those who do a job that requires great amount of skill and preparation, too much inequality—like the one we have been experiencing these last decades—can do a lot of harm,” Sanzenbacher said.

Too much income inequality over time can exacerbate inequality in op-portunity. That is, a very talented person who starts in a low point in the econom-ic system won’t be able to climb up to a higher point if that person doesn’t have a great amount of resources invested in him or her.

Eventually, great talent and potential are wasted, and a lot of innovation is discouraged. “And then there is another effect, which is that inequality will give those at the very top much more lob-bying power and influence, and their economic and political interests will not be aligned with those of the middle and lower classes, so it creates this imbal-

ance in power.”The way this affects college students

is that it makes it increasingly difficult for people in the middle and lower classes to attend university. “Parental income is a great correlate on whether someone goes to college or not,” Sanzen-bacher said. “With tuitions soaring and middle and lower incomes stagnant, it becomes increasingly difficult for those at the middle and bottom to go to college without taking debt.”

Student loan debt is becoming a bigger and bigger problem—even for those students with loans who graduate at places like BC, who tend to find a job relatively easily, it will be a very different scenario compared to their peers who graduate debt-free. “They won’t be able to buy a house as quickly, they won’t be able to save for retirement as quickly.

Even if you graduate from college as a low-income student, which is in itself unlikely, you do so under circumstances that will attribute to being in a worse situation for most or probably the rest of your life,” Sanzenbacher said.

If inequality continues to rise, we’ll have a small class of people who own the great majority of things and who have

almost unanimous political power, and we’ll see a great decrease in economic mobility—a fundamental feature of theAmerican dream.

“More people will stop trying to make it to the top because they will thinkit impossible. If they stop trying, you’llsee vast increases in crime, fewer people looking for jobs, fewer people innovat-ing, which will only hurt growth and so-cial cohesion even more,” Sanzenbacher warned. “It’ll look like the 1800s.”

More needs to be done by govern-ments and universities to combat in-equality. “It is not only investing more resources to make sure more people go to college, but also to make sure that low-income students are well-preparedto go,” Sanzenbacher said. “Many drop out of college because they come from a background that has left them ill-prepared to go.” Universities need toprovide more resources to low-incomestudents to help them adapt and dealwith collegiate life, not just financialaid.

THE HEIGHTS A5Monday, October 5, 2015

I came here knowing one person from Boston College and nobody else. To be honest, I had not even looked at pictures of Vienna before I made the decision to come here. I finally de-cided based on people telling me the city is similar to Paris, a place that I already loved. Wirstschaftsuniversitat Wien (WU) had the classes I needed, so I applied, got in, and started pack-ing.

Being abroad for me has been a constant flow of new places, foods, cultures, and experiences. For the first time, I have to cook for myself without the option of going to the dining hall. Because of my naive assumptions about life in other countries, abroad has come with many surprises. I didn’t realize the number of things I would have to do once I got here.

At BC, arriving on campus meant buying some toothpaste, unpack-ing my boxes, and rushing off to see friends I hadn’t seen in three months. In Vienna, arriving meant getting a visa, registering my presence in Vienna with the Austrian government, getting a public transportation pass, figuring out how to get to campus, getting a new student ID, and regis-tering for classes with a system that makes UIS look intuitive—and that was just the beginning.

My program is internal, but there are only about 10 BC students par-ticipating in it with me. Every day has consisted of meeting at least a handful of new people, exchanging names and hometowns—like freshman year all over again. In the time since freshman year, it has been all too easy to forget how difficult making friends can be. Conversations can feel superficial and it is difficult to remember that you cannot start relationships without knowing basic facts about a person. Nevertheless, getting to know a ton of people has been a refreshing change from the routine of returning to BC and my somewhat established friend

group (whom I love dearly, of course!).Among the people I have been

meeting, most are exchange students from throughout the European Union. It is really a blessing to be a part of a program that consists of so many exchange students—I came abroad to experience other cultures, after all. As an observation, it rings true that birds of a feather flock together. Maybe it is because of how much easier it is to communicate with people in your own language, but the Dutch speak-ing people tend to stick together, as do Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian speakers. I find myself gravitating toward Americans, more so because I know they will understand my quest to find peanut butter than because I know they speak the same language as me. Pretty much everyone here speaks fluent English, as well as at least two other languages. I, meanwhile, am the archetypal ignorant American when I answer, “Um, one and a half?” when people ask how many languages I speak. Does high school French count?

While I’m far from an expert when it comes to language, I have found my-self becoming proficient in the ways of public transportation. The UBahn can be compared to the T only because they are both trains that sometimes run aboveground and sometimes below. The UBahn runs regularly, on time, and I have never waited more than seven minutes for a train to come (#blessed). It takes about 20 minutes to get to campus via public trans-portation, which is approximately the same amount of time it takes me to wait for the elevators in Maloney before a 9 a.m.

When I arrive on campus, I am greeted by a host of modern buildings that could not be more opposite BC’s gray stone. Instead of staring up at Gasson’s towers, I look up at a modern library building designed by the ar-chitect Zaha Hadid. In contrast to the hordes of students that cluster on the quad/Bapst lawn in fair weather, stu-dents at WU seem to come to campus

for class and then head straight home without pausing to chat with friends. To be fair, this might be because classes just started on Oct. 1.

Since the semester has just begun, I have had a lot of free time, which I have taken as an opportunity to do some exploring. I have travelled to Prague, Czech Republic, Hallstatt, Austria, Munich, Germany, and Bratislava, Slovakia, as well as a few places in Slovenia. While I am excited to be seeing new places and new things, I never realized how exhaust-ing travelling is. My family has been throughout the United States, but we

usually vacation for 10 days. When you only have two or three days to see an entire city, the pace of your days is much quicker. I sometimes feel rushed to see everything I came to see. In the process, I worry that I might be missing the culture and authenticity of the city that comes with, say, sitting outside a coffee shop for a few hours people-watching.

On the other hand, travelling to places that are just a few hours out-side of Vienna has me itching to do more travelling around New England. It is actually so easy to hop on a train or rent a car and drive to a small town

that feels completely different from the town where your journey began just a few hours ago. I have not trav-elled throughout the Northeast at all, so I cannot say if this is exclusive to Europe, but I cannot wait to find out when I get back to BC.

So far, being abroad this fall has been a whirlwind of newness and differences. There have been time I’ve missed BC, but I am ultimately happy to be here and excited to see what is in store for the next three months.

This past week, student-driven campaigns for Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bernie Sanders have emerged on Boston College’s cam-pus. The Clinton campaign, which is not a registered student organiza-tion (RSO), but is instead housed under the parent organization Col-lege Democrats, hosted an event featuring members of the national campaign that attracted students from across Boston. The Sanders campaign is also not a registered student organization, and it aims to attract student support by way of social media.

In particular, the event for Clin-ton supporters around Boston is significant for its location at BC, rather than one of the more activism-focused universities , like Tufts University or Harvard University. Students from several Boston-area schools showed up to discuss the efforts at their various schools to support Clinton. The battle of Comm. Ave. was paused, albeit briefly, in order to convene for Hillary.

Since last winter, there has been a discernable shift on campus regarding activism. Prior to the die-in and climate justice-related protests of last semester, there were not as many visible displays of alignment with a particular party. This, however, shows that despite the label of political apathy often assigned to younger generations, a shift in the campus climate is pos-sible. The move toward campaign-ing for various candidates—there is also a BC chapter for Martin O’Malley—shows that change can be pushed for on a college campus at the national level.

Right now, the prominent activ-

ists on campus are for the Demo-cratic candidates. This is not en-tirely unexpected—young, college-educated people tend to be more liberal. But, there is a definite con-servative element at BC, and those students have not yet made a visible effort to enact a campaign for any of the Republican candidates.

The effort these students are making for the Clinton and Sanders campaign, though the campaigns are not registered student orga-

nizations, ought to be copied by those students with other agendas as well.

Political activism on college campuses is nothing new, but physical efforts for change on BC’s campus are a more recent develop-ment. The push for national change being made by these students in-dicates an admirable effort to look past the changes that can be made on campus, to the changes that can be made on a national level.

EDITORIALS

The views expressed in the above edito-rials represent the official position of The Heights, as discussed and written by the

Editorial Board. A list of the members of the Editorial Board can be found at bcheights.com/opinions.

In the group’s first official protest since becoming a registered student organization (RSO), Climate Justice at Boston College marched up the Million Dollar Stairs and held a vigil in front of the St. Ignatius Statue. Their message was clear and con-sistent with their message last year: BC should divest from fossil fuels. They said that as a Jesuit institution, University President Rev. William P. Leahy, S.J., and the school’s Board of Directors should be doing more to fight climate change, especially in the context of Pope Francis’ recent encyclical on climate change.

Since this protest was registered, CJBC’s members did not need to worry about disciplinary action and instead could focus on their mes-sage. CJBC participant Zack Muz-dakis, MCAS ’17, believed that the lack of disciplinary context around the event partially contributed to the low turnout for the recent protest, but followed that it’s more the polarizing environment that CJBC provides during the protest that acts as a deterrent for many students.

For those that are looking for fervent displays of aggravation with the issues of climate change, CJBC’s protests provides an outlet for students. For those that don’t feel comfortable engaging with the intense protest atmosphere, there are programming events on cam-pus that are there to fill the void. Last week, “Our Common Home,”

an event that brought in a plethora of environmental speakers and provided activities for students to participate in throughout the day, attracted those students that were looking for a more casual environ-ment to discuss what he or she found important. Very different

from a CJBC protest, but with the same theme in mind: “Our Com-mon Home” might have been one of the reasons that some of the air was taken out of CJBC’s tires.

Regardless, it’s admirable for CJBC to take advantage of its reg-istered status. As much as it might be looking for bigger numbers, the organization’s new place on BC’s campus is victory enough for the recently recognized group—for now.

FRANCISCO RUELA / HEIGHTS GRAPHICS

It was with joy and then sadness that I read Sean McGowan’s letter to his future son (20 September 2015). Let me explain.

McGowan begins his letter describing all the unearned advantages and privileges white folks possess. He describes how his son, if he’s like dad, will be deeply troubled by these advantages. Like dad, the son might stay up at night “counting all the things you ever worked hard for, coming up with ways to convince people that no one handed them to you.” Should the son grow up in his father’s like-ness, he might go so far as to “make fun of people who went to protests and vigils,” of organizers who are trying to make a difference.

Fortunately, something changed for Sean. He read and fell in love with Coates’ Between the World and Me, and the letter to his son was one small action to stand up for racial justice, for Black freedom. Sean admits he doesn’t know what to do about “all this,” the murderous racial inequality all around us. That’s good: admitting you don’t know what to do is a proud step for a white man in this society and the intolerant culture that far too often is Boston College.

Unfortunately, the letter’s conclusion brought sadness to me: Father and son ended up on the “bad side of the movement that’ll define our generations. We’re the oppressors … There’s not much you can do about it, besides being aware of it.” You can do something, as you are with that letter, Sean!

As buildings were going up in flames in major US cities, the government put together what’s

called the Kerner Commission to examine whatcaused the riots. Their report described racism as a white problem. “What white Americans have neverfully understood—but what the Negro can neverforget—is that white society is deeply implicated in the ghetto. White institutions created it, white in-stitutions maintain it, and white society condones it.” To me, that means that I have a responsibility, like every white person in this country, to change this intolerable situation. There are so many ways toget involved in Black liberation. To name just twoof many options, you can support the Black StudentForum on campus and off campus you might get involved with Showing Up for Racial Justice.

One last point. White people certainly benefit from the white supremacist society we live in, but we are also hurt by it. Think where this countrymight be if not for deep racism that pervades our institutions. Imagine if we tackled racism, we mightthen be able to get on with the other two “giant triplets” of materialism and militarism, in MartinLuther King’s words. We might then address pov-erty, the climate crisis, and so much more. But don’tjust imagine it—make it so! It won’t be easy, but I promise you’ll be happy with every step you take in challenging white supremacy and building thebeloved community. I can see that community in my dreams. Sometimes I even catch glimpses of itwhile organizing for social justice.

Response to “Between Privilege, My Son, And Me”LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

him the fi rst NYPD offi cer to die in con-nection with internal injuries sustained at Ground Zero, they announced that they were “[certain] beyond doubt that the foreign ma-terial in [Zadroga’s] lungs did not get there as the result of inhaling dust at the World Trade Center or elsewhere.”

Th e damage to his system had been done, the Offi ce claimed, through self-injection of various narcotics over a long period of time.

“We wanted to have a hero, and there are plenty of heroes” NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg said to a room full of reporters. “It’s just in this case, science says this was not a hero.”

Th e mayor seemed to harbor such disdain for Zadroga that when asked whether he’d consider adding the offi cer’s name to the offi cial list of victims from Sept. 11, he fl at-out refused. Th at Zadroga self-medicated to dull the pain from granulomas in his lungs

didn’t seem to matter, nor did the fact that he needed stronger hits of the drugs because he didn’t know whether he’d ever get more.

Every year, the names of the victims are read for an audience. Th ere are 2,977 of them, so it takes most of the morning. Th e names also etched onto the walls at the Na-tional Sept. 11 Memorial in New York City.

James Zadroga’s name isn’t spoken with the others, and it’s not written on any walls.

It is, however, right on the front cover of S.2844, a bill that funds the $2.4 billion World Trade Center Health Fund. Better known as the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compen-sation Act, the bill squeaked through both houses despite a lengthy Republican fi libus-ter, and became law on Dec. 22, 2010. After a long series of battles to include diff erent types of cancer and respiratory infections, the fund now covers 46,820 fi rst responders. Th ese are people that refl ect the bravery and valor of Zadroga, and are still facing a variety

of health issues stemming from their actions.Keep in mind that the fi libusters we’re

talking about aren’t those Mr. Smith Goes to Washington-style showdowns, when one guy stops fl oor activity out of passionate opposi-tion. Th ey haven’t been used that way since the early 20th century, when conservative Southern senators used them to block certain pieces of civil rights legislation.

Today, the fi libuster is a way for senators to avoid votes on things they’d rather not deal with. Th e threat of one looms over all legisla-tive proceedings, and only the most safe, ster-ile bills have any hope of escaping without one. So, it was a small miracle in itself that the bill ever got out of Congress—under the stipulation that it wouldn’t include certain deadly (and expensive) cancers, and would expire every fi ve years.

Th ey made that deal fi ve years ago. To-day, most of the diseases that need coverage have been added to the bill, but the deadline still hasn’t gone anywhere. On Wednesday night, when the deadline came and went, the bill expired.

Despite calls to action from Jon Stew-art—who made passage of the bill something of a passion project with his fi nal show—and visits from real, suff ering patients, Congress let the deadline pass. Th ey talked about the TSA instead.

Advocates for the fund estimate that they have enough money to last almost one more year, but it’ll all be gone by next October if the bill isn’t extended. Th e sick will get worse without treatment, and people will die.

Extending benefi ts indefi nitely would be easy. A simple provision would allow the Fund to remain active until the fi nal ill fi rst responder dies. Owing in part to restrictions on certain diseases that are still in place, that probably won’t be very long anyway.

Instead, those affl icted march up to Capitol Hill every few years, some of them in wheelchairs, to remind everyone that they’re still there, and that they still need help.

Sadly, there really isn’t much we can do about it. Since the bill expired, Congress has absolutely no obligation to pick it back up. To tell them otherwise, you can Text “911” to 877877 to get connected with a represen-tative. Do everything in your power to not forget the story of James Zadroga.

SWEET FREEDOM - You figured that taking a once-a-week class was go-ing to make things so much easier on you. But when you’re in it for three straight hours, the once-a-week class suddenly doesn’t feel like such a great idea—especially when the professor doesn’t let you bring food, and when the class itself is at night. But, every time, we hold on to the possibility of early release. Just 15 minutes early would be enough. And, when it is finally granted to us, and the teacher says, go ahead, pack up, we feel like we’ve just been awakened to a long-forgotten freedom. When we can get to Corcoran Commons before it closes, get back into our dorm rooms and actually relax for an extra, unprecedented minute or two, and realize we don’t have to think about sitting for those three hours for another whole seven days, we cannot help but be thank-ful for that once-a-week class.

TOM SEGURA - For as much as Louis C.K. has been able to keep his rep up and his jokes hilarious, his humor is not exactly what we’re looking for right now. But, taking chances on new stand-up comedians is always a risk. Each has their own style, diction, and timing: like wearing pants all win-ter and deciding that one spring day to wear shorts, transitioning between comics won’t feel like the most comfortable thing you’ve ever done. But, here comes Tom Segura. If you haven’t seen his special on Netflix, Completely Normal, you should give it a watch at your earliest convenience. His traditionally set-up jokes always find a way to reverse on you at the last second, keeping you on your toes the hour plus that you’re watching him. Also, get prepared to laugh until you cry.

TOO MANY GOOD MOVIES TO SEE - Theaters are jam-packed with good content right now: Sicario,The Martian, and the upcoming Steve Jobs, all of which are ranked with a metacritic score above 80. Think hard about it, and make good choices with your money, but know that you can’t go wrong right now.

LOWER CLOSING EARLY - One in the morning is the prime Late Night time on a Saturday. So, when a cop started turning kids away from get-ting in at about that time, you can understand why so many people were frustrated. We’re just looking for those delicious, fatty chicken fingers, and a Powerade to match, so please don’t be shutting us out in our time of need.

OVER-CAFFEINATION - We’re look-ing to focus. We’re not looking to shake like an old drier and feel uncomfortable in our own bodies. And, what no one tells you is that it’s a thin line between the two.

Th is summer, I spent a few days in Montpellier, France, a beautiful coastal town on the Mediterranean Sea. I spent my afternoons sunbathing and swimming in the gentle waves of one of the world’s most beautiful bodies of water. Life was good. I was relaxed and happy. Little did I know, however, that just a few hundred miles out, there were groups of men, women, and children dying in the same exact sea that I was lazily fl oating in.

Before this summer, I held Europe on a pedestal. Somewhat dissatisfi ed with my own Congress’ inability to compromise, I looked toward the European Union with hopeful eyes. Here was a union of 28 countries that worked together, though theydiff ered from one another on a multitude of levels. I was oblivious, however, to the fact that the European Union has a multitude of problems on its own. I was just viewing the EU through the lens that I wanted to view it through.

Th e current refugee crisis in Europe hit me like a quick and painful slap in the face. After a while, I had to stop watching the videos put out by mainstream media. I couldn’t bear seeing any more videos of dying and starving men, women, and children just trying fi nd a place where they could live their lives without the constant fear of being killed. I am quite aware that the refugee crisis in Europe is not a simple problem with a simple solution. I know that there are dozens of political, economic, and social implications surrounding all sides of the issue. I know that at this point in my life I don’t have the adequate education or experience to go out and make political change within the European Union.

At the same time, I cannot stand by and watch this international atrocity unfold before my eyes without voicing my dissent and disappointment in the way we as a society can treat other human beings. It’s a time like this when I think it’s important to step back and question ourselves and our motives.

“It is true that Europe cannot house all the misery in the world,” said Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission. “But we have to put it into perspective … this still represents just 0.11 percent of the EU population. In Leba-non refugees represent 25 percent of the population.”

Th e EU should be able to fi nd room for such a small percentage of the popula-tion. While many EU leaders argue that Europe does not have the infrastructure or funds available to house this mass wave of refugees, some leaders have voiced that they believe the countries of the EU are not ready for this amount of Muslims within its borders. Th e prime minister of Hungary went to far as to say that the refugees, a majority of whom are Muslim, pose a threat to Europe’s Christian heritage. Christian heritage teaches its followers to love one another, not to devalue the life of another human being because they prescribe to a diff erent religion.

Th ere are so many problems in this world that stem from a lack of understand-ing of those around us who do not share our same customs or culture. Th e European Union itself is made up of countries that do not share the exact same language or cultures but that actively chose to come together and work toward the shared hu-man goals of well-being and stability for all citizens of the EU. Yet, now that these refugees are landing on their shores, many want to turn their heads and ignore them because they are too diff erent.

Th ese refugees are leaving their own countries that are fi lled with so much violence and hatred only to arrive on a con-tinent where many still look at them with hatred in their eyes.

Perhaps I am too optimistic or too impractical, but I stand fi rm with my belief that so much good can come from teaching each other that, above all, it is imperative to treat every other human being with kindness, respect, and compassion. I can only hope that the countless stories, videos, and pictures published daily of the struggles these refugees face can open up more eyes to the atrocities of the world and our responsibility as free human beings to make positive change.

extra cost to lawful taxpayers would be insurmountable.

As a recent Heritage Foundation article points out, “Over a lifetime, the former unlawful immigrants together would receive $9.4 trillion in government benefi ts and services and pay $3.1 trillion in taxes.” Ultimately, they would generate a lifetime fi scal defi cit (total benefi ts minus total taxes) of $6.3 trillion (a minimum esti-mate). It probably understates real future costs because it undercounts the number of unlawful immigrants and dependents who will actually receive amnesty and un-derestimates the future growth in welfare and medical benefi ts.

With respect to government spending, the amnesty bill thwarts any attempt at fi scal discipline with respect to Congress. Th e bill itself also exploits a loophole that would allow Congress to spend more than stipulated in 2011 spending caps (the high-est recent history).

Geopolitically, the amnesty bill would by no means ensure that borders will be secure. In fact, the incentive of access to governmental benefi ts would further entice foreigners to immigrate to the U.S. Th is is extremely problematic, as the Southwest is already plagued with border violence.

Ultimately, the new bill for compre-hensive immigration reform tries to be a “cure-all” for the current crisis. As with most congressional bills, it is exceedingly long and convoluted. Spread out too thin, it fails to enact the precise reform that is necessary for the current situation.

Additionally, the proposition itself seems discouraging and insulting to cur-rent Americans and immigrants that are in this country lawfully. Congressional myopia, however, seems to be moving the nation in a direction in which the “nanny state” will provide for all, regardless of the repercussions.

gration Studies.Some will argue that the defi cit fi gures

for uneducated households in the ag-gregate population are irrelevant because lawful immigrants use little welfare. In actuality, lawful immigrant households receive signifi cantly more welfare than US-born households, on average.

Because unlawful immigrants do not have access to means-tested welfare, Medicare, or Social Security, many people make the erroneous (or fi scally neglectful) assumption that they receive no govern-ment benefi ts at all. For example, they receive public education and community services, while their children (if they were

born in the U.S.) have access to a myriad of governmental benefi ts.

In 2010, the average unlawful immi-grant household received nearly $24,721 in government benefi ts and services, running a fi scal defi cit of about $14,387. Th is is a cost that carries over entirely to American taxpayers, underlying the fundamental fi -nancial problem of the illegal immigration issue. Because amnesty would allow the illegal immigrants to have access to over 80 programs—among them Obamacare, which is already a fi nancial disaster—the

Th e latest of the proposed immigration reform bills, one that would grant amnesty to nearly 11 million people currently living unlawfully in the United States, would lead to large fi scal costs for the United States taxpayers.

Related to the issue of immigration, the government provides its constituents four categories of relevant benefi ts and services: direct benefi ts (Social Security and Medi-care), means-tested welfare benefi ts (Med-icaid, food stamps, Earned Income Tax Credit, public housing), public education, and population-based services (police, fi re, highway, and park services).

We seem to take for granted these gov-ernmental services and fail to appreciate their staggering cost. In 2010, the average American household received $31,584 in governmental benefi ts and services in these four categories.

Th e governmental service system is fundamentally redistributive. Well-educat-ed households tend to be “net tax contrib-utors,” meaning that the amount of taxes they pay exceeds the amount of services they receive. Th e average college-educated household runs a fi scal benefi t surplus of nearly $29,250, which the government uses to fund these benefi ts.

James Zadroga died in his childhood home on Jan. 6, 2006, with a chest full of deep scars and dust. He was 34.

Th e doctor conducting the autopsy found his lungs austere and unyielding—they’d swollen to about three times their normal size. Inside were gathered traces of talc, cel-lulose, and various plastics, identifi ed weeks later by a specialist. Only when his heart stopped was it allowed to rest from a fi ght it had kept up for fi ve years, pumping blood through the tattered veins and capillaries that riddled his body.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, he’d been about a mile from his home in New Jer-sey, driving back from a court appointment in the city. News of the attack came to him via the car radio. Despite pleas from his wife to stay home, he turned around and headed toward the pillars of smoke.

He made it through the morning, and stayed at the site for days. He lifted glass-laden rubble, cleared away metal scraps, and searched for survivors through unending clouds of caustic dust, thick and deadly as an oil-and-Drano cocktail. He saw death, desolation, and carnage during those days the way a jailed man sees metal and concrete. Th ey were on every surface. Th ey were in every direction. Th eir presence became an inextricable element of the atmosphere.

Over the years that followed, Zadroga developed a persistent cough and the begin-nings of a few serious respiratory issues. By 2003, he couldn’t walk 100 feet without stop-ping to sit down.

He visited a few hospitals a month, all of which turned him down. On occasion, they’d throw a few prescription painkillers his way. Most often, it was Oxycontin or Vicodin. He took to grinding them down to a powder and injecting them straight into his bloodstream for higher potency. Th e mainlining started to aff ect his inner organs. Whether his drug habits were what killed him remains in dispute.

form of dining dollar currency and fork-ing down anything the dining halls have to off er.

As you enter, you’re usually look-ing to get in and out without any of the intros or small talk about how things are going. Don’t get discouraged when you see essentially everyone else eating with their buds. Th at’s not your game. If someone asks you to grab food together, make one of those fake regretful sounds (where you keep your teeth closed and suck in, and then proceed to frown the corners of your lips, as if you just stubbed your toe), and tell them that you have somewhere to be on that par-ticular night.

Now, yeah, you can throw some friends a bone every once in awhile, but if something comes up, do not hesitate to cancel. Grubbing in solitude feels phenomenal. Fire up the “Rainy Days” playlist, eat as quickly or as slowly as you want to, avoid mindless conversation, do a little people watching, and get out of there in time to catch a few episodes of Shark Tank.

Swiping for a friend: Really torn on

this one. I’ll admit, after working this summer and realizing that my personal fi nancing skills place me within the bottom 13 percent of all Americans (re-gardless of age), I’ve gotten a little stingy.

I’ve got no trouble buying a pint for a lad when we are out, or even covering the cost of transportation from time to time. Th ose things fall within the, “I scratch your back, you scratch mine” category, and they almost always seem to come full circle. Heck, picking up the tab for someone’s girthy burrito at Chipotle isn’t even unheard of.

But using that school ID with the picture of your face on it to swipe for someone’s meal in the dining hall, that’s a completely diff erent ballgame. Th e fact of the matter is that those things never seem to make their way back to you. Th e dude says that he’ll “hit you back next time,” but let’s face it, you don’t want there to be a next time. You eat 95 percent of meals alone, and the other 5 percent will certainly exclude the kid who asked you to cover his meal. I’d rather just pay however much it is for a meal if that meant that I could eat by

myself without that freeloader.Slow Walkers: Yesterday I was walk-

ing to the gym on campus and I realized that the two girls who had been walking in front of me for a subtly long time were headed to the same place. Fellow workhorses, I initially thought. Well, I was wrong. Th e two walked at a snail’s pace. It was as if they had nowhere to be, or rather, they weren’t rushed because they enjoyed each other’s company. Not at this point in the game. Time is money. Just call me the Monopoly Man with a pocket watch. So yeah, I breezed passed them, made it into the check-in line a person in front of them, and then basked in my glory as I entered the place fi rst. Th at’s just the name of the game.

Campus Shuttle: Some people are fi rm believers in that little bus that takes you to and from the places on and around campus. If you time it right, it actually makes perfect sense. Check the schedule, do what you are doing for a few minutes longer, and then chase after that thing like a dog chasing a meat truck (or something along those lines).

So it’s been a month, your feet are starting to get wet again back on campus, and things are looking up. Just when you had started to doubt yourself, all the stars aligned: your academic advi-sor let you know that your credits have in fact been going through, you’ve made some new pals who really bring a “fresh perspective” to the table, your school spirit is off the charts after attending a few football games, and it goes without saying that your course load is interest-ing and engaging.

Now, in order to get back into the grind as the honeymoon period comes to an end, you’ve got to have a routine you can fall back on. By routine, I’m not talking about a 9-5 agenda, but rather rules to live by. You want to have some go-to moves on hand so that when cer-tain situations on campus arise, dealing with them is like clockwork.

Mealtime Company: If you’re ball-ing on a budget, you’re pooling together all of the leftover funds you have in the

Th e rush is actually pretty intense, and I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I’ve been stoked a handful of times after catching it. Th e point is, in an ideal world I’d have the schedule down pat. But I don’t, and whenever I tell myself I’ll catch the bus, I end up waiting until Easter before it picks me up. If you want to make yourself feel like you are ac-complishing something, always be mov-ing around. Keep on your feet. I’d rather walk 10 minutes somewhere then wait fi ve minutes for a three-minute bus ride. Plus, people see you walking around and rumors begin to fl y, like “Th ere he goes to volunteer down at the local ani-mal shelter,” or “he must be walking to a nearby relative’s to spend some quality time together. What a family man.” You’ll never get these narratives sitting on a bus. Just remember what Ferris Bueller said: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.”

in education. Her husband, Peter, had a father who taught at BC, but then died young. After BC gave him the tuition he needed to continue, he also developed a commitment to education. Together, the two Lynches had the necessary background and commitment, O’Keefe said.

“Th ey were both very dedicated to the archdiocese and the church, and the works of the church, especially the church that serves poor people,” he said. “Th at was a passion for both of them. What better way to do that than an education?”

Th e couple was also among the fi rst supporters of Teach For America, Partners in Health, and City Year. In addition to the

University, they donated to the New Eng-land Conservatory of Music, the Catholic Schools Foundation, and the Museum of Fine Arts, among others.

“When all is said and done, she was a person of great faith,” O’Keefe said. “Both her and Peter were blessed with a great marriage, three wonderful daughters. As sad as it is—69 is not old—but a life well-

lived in that sense. So, yes, it’s very sad, and sad for the people she leaves behind, but you know, you mourned her death but you can celebrate her life.”

Th e Lynch School will continue her legacy through its dedication to prepare teachers, leaders, and researchers in educa-tion, Kenny said.

At the dedication of the Lynch School

in 2000, University President William P.Leahy, S.J., presented the couple with aplaque that names the Lynches as advo-cates of education and dedicated friends to Catholic schools.

“We are a community involved in thiswork of education,” Leahy said at the dedi-cation. “We are all striving to do our part tomake our society an even better place.”

Two pennies: a cheap invest-ment matched cent-for-cent in a cause that makes “sense” within the greater context of

Boston College’s Jesuit mission —helping secure clean water, strengthen women’s rights, and improve living conditions in the developing world through the purchase of Coke products.

Spanning 129 years of business, the Coca-Cola Company currently sells products in over 200 countries as the world’s largest beverage company, is Forbes’ No. 4 most valuable brand, replenishes an estimated 94 percent of its sales volume as of 2014, and has recently launched “Project Ripple,” whereby the organization endeavors to inspire community well-being through university crowdsourcing—a global campaign that has made its way to BC.

In collaboration with Coca-Cola Compa-ny’s 2013 EKOCENTER initiative—a social enterprising program through which the com-pany places modular kiosks in underserved communities worldwide to promote and prioritize well-being, women, and water based upon the wants and needs of individual loca-tions—Coke introduced its “Project Ripple” campaign this September.

“We’re working with a variety of partners, local NGOs, and government, and we’re try-ing to make these kiosks help these communi-ties grow … by providing access to Internet, power, electricity, and access to safe drinking water,” said Stephanie Rose, a Coca-Cola Global Public Aff airs and Communications correspondent and BC ’11. “In order to grow it and sustain it and keep it running on its own, you need money—a steady stream of money—and so that’s how we came up with this [Project Ripple] model.”

Striving to involve millennials in its larger movement toward global betterment and em-powerment, Coca-Cola devised this crowd-sourcing model wherein university students, faculty, and consumers pay two cents more per Coke product—fountain and beverage.

By doing so, they support EKOCENTER in one of three ways: safe drinking water initia-tives, female economic empowerment, or projects enhancing community well-being. At the conclusion of Project Ripple’s duration on individual campuses, Coca-Cola matches the overall sum raised by BC—up to a $5,000 corporate contribution—and each university determines to which cause its donation will go.

Coca-Cola came to the University through BC Dining Services with the proposal in the summer of 2015—and thus far, BC is only

the second university to participate in Project Ripple after Seton Hall.

“What I liked about this EKOCENTER drive is that, as I said, they’re trying to make things better for our global neighbors,” said Megan O’Neill, associate director of opera-tions within BC Dining. “And BC’s mission, right, is all about social justice and how do we do things for others, so they really paired nicely together. So when they reached out … I was like, ‘Yeah, sign me up! How do we do it?’ … Just by throwing in 2 cents, you’re rip-pling the eff ect across and helping our global neighbors.”

Having begun at the start of this semester and located within the Rat, the initiative will conclude on Wednesday prior to Th anks-giving, with students voting to determine which of the three initiatives will receive the University’s contribution.

“I don’t want Dining to make the deci-sion—it’s not our money,” O’Neill said. BC Dining interns are currently determining how best to promote awareness and gauge public opinion regarding the three diff erent causes, but will likely use social media to poll the student body.

“For me, I think that safe drinking water is a really big one.” O’Neill said. “But, you can’t go wrong in any of them.”

Th e relationship between BC and Coca-

BRECK WILLS / HEIGHTS GRAPHIC

Cola spans a number of years, with an exclu-sive contract currently existing between the BC Dining and Coke, and Coca-Cola adver-tisements targeting students at the University dating back to the early 20th century.

“We are a Coke school, we do a lot of partnerships with Coca-Cola,” O’Neill said. “I work closely with Coca-Cola in the dining halls, in the mini-marts, in all those places, to partner together, fi gure out what we can do the best for the students.”

Coca-Cola’s presence on campus extends beyond Dining Services, and it is particularly notable at Alumni Stadium and Conte Forum, where, in addition to sponsoring BC Athlet-ics, Coke has worked with the University to improve upon recycling and sustainability eff orts.

“I also work with a lot of student groups—in terms of EcoPledge and Real Food,” O’Neill said. “One of the things we always hear about

is ‘Coke is a bad company. It’s a big company, they don’t take care of the little people.’ Which really isn’t true, and Coke has been working really hard over the last few years to improve that image—probably over the last 10 years. Part of this initiative is how EKOCENTER got created [within the] sustainability arm of Coca-Cola.”

Led by Sustainability Program Di-rector Robert Pion, the Greening Eagles Game Day Ambassador Program was recently launched

by the University—and is sponsored by Athletics, Facilities Services, and the Sus-tainability Offi ce—as a means to reach its 50-percent recycling rate goal for the 2015 football season.

Th e hospitality and sustainability pro-gram, which encourages student, faculty, and staff participation, allows individuals a

free ticket into home football games as wellas a voucher for Dining Services BBQ in exchange for volunteering prior to the startof the game.

In recognizing BC’s on-campus endeavors to improve upon its recycling rate, Coca-Colahas bought more recycling bins to be placed inside and near Athletics facilities.

“Th ey came to us and said, ‘Gee, yourrecycling numbers aren’t very good—how can we help with that?’” O’Neill said. Th e company has also been steadily replacing itson-campus vending machines over the lastcouple years with low-energy, more effi cientand sustainable models.

“It’s about helping students see that Coke is not just out there to make a penny,” O’Neill said. Indeed, Coca-Cola is out there to maketwo pennies—and to give BC students theopportunity to put their two cents towardthe cause of their choice.

DURHAM, N.C. — ’Tis the season to get into the Halloween spirit. October rolls around and it’s time to go crazy for Hocus Pocus, corn mazes, and begging elderly neighbors for candy while receiving nothing but dental equipment. Line up your best costume for that big night that ends this long month. Make it out of a cardboard box, do your makeup like a Hollywood artist, or just grab some cat ears. Whatever it takes, try to get in the mood for this time of year.

Boston College head coach Steve Addazio already has his costume. He’ll be going as a pumpkin. It doesn’t take much for him to get his costume on—all he has to do is watch his offense and special teams.

For every failed run up the middle, Addazio stomped his feet. For every incompletion, he shook his head. And for every call made by a line judge, he clenched his fists, charged down across the bench, screaming profanity, enraged at the calls they blew.

Really, the only person he should be mad at is himself.

With rain coming down hard on Brooks Field at

Wallace Wade Stadium, home of Duke University, the Eagles (3-2, 0-2 ACC) had the upper hand. They had the perfect opportunity to employ the run-heavy scheme Addazio loves so much, even against a front seven as fearsome as David Cutcliffe’s Blue Devils (4-1, 2-0 ACC).

Yet for all the heart Don Brown’s defense put into this game, BC showed its youth in a 9-7 loss. And Addazio’s staff, which emphasized special teams all week in practice as the key to the game, didn’t appear to have a game plan that was up to the challenge of playing against the ACC’s best teams.

At the outset, the Eagles looked outmatched. Cutcliffe quickly realized that his team would find no holes through BC’s defensive line, so he trusted his quarterback, Thomas Sirk, to exploit the passing defense. Though almost as elite as the run defense, BC’s defensive weakness comes from short passes over the middle, when linebackers such as Steven Daniels and Connor Strachan are forced into covering speedy receivers.

Following a first quarter drive that ended in a Reed Martin field goal, Sirk was on the move again, before Daniels got back to what he does best: rushing the

passer. A 7-yard sack gave Duke a 3rd and 17, reason-ably out of a college kicker’s field goal range.

At that point, Addazio’s face began to shade into that orange tint.

Sirk connected with Max McCaffrey for what ini-tially appeared to be an 18-yard reception. BC corner Isaac Yiadom emphatically waved his arms to signal no catch, prompting a booth review. Although replays made it appear that McCaffrey dropped the ball, the zebras stuck with their call, leading to a second Duke field goal. Later in the first half, Martin crushed a 53-yarder to put up a 9-0 Blue Devil lead.

But once again, BC’s offense and special teams couldn’t bail out the few mistakes the defense made. In the first half, the run game barely mustered any mo-mentum, gaining only 100 yards. Even worse, Addazio’s quarterback tandem of Troy Flutie and Jeff Smith combined for no completions on nine attempts.

It’s hard, however, to blame the quarterbacks on one of those incompletions.

Facing 3rd and 12 in Duke territory, Smith lofted the ball up to Thadd Smith, who clearly caught the ball

Wake Forest might be the best soccer team in the coun-try. The Demon Deacons came to Newton, Mass. and put five in the back of the net to beat Boston College. It was graceful, it was easy, it was la joga bonitowrapped up in a package of 90-minute goodness.

BC has been good this year, and even superb at times. The Eagles have a very young team with enormous potential, but they have a ways to go before they reach Wake’s level of play.

The thrashing at the hand’s of Wake Forest epitomizes the major problem for BC’s team: inexperience.

The two teams could not have looked more different. Wake Forest was composed, stringing together passes at will. BC was impatient, forcing balls and losing possession far too quickly.

The Eagles are better when they have the ball. It sounds like an odd and obvious state-ment, but it makes sense when you see BC and Wake Forest play. When BC has its lion share of possession, the talent takes over. A couple of passes creates the necessary space, and Trevor Davock, Simon Enstrom, or Zeiko Lewis can take over.

When they don’t have the ball often, as was the case against Wake, inexperience gets the best of them. When they finally win the ball back, they rush the counter-attack.

They play long balls, force passes through the air, and almost always look forward instead of waiting and playing back. The talent wants to take over, but it’s forced out too soon, resulting in turnovers.

In an extreme example, Davock had the ball on the sideline with no defenders on him. He took one bad touch and then dribbled out of bounds.

That’s inexperience at its core, comparable to a wide receiver dropping a pass be-cause he is focusing on the juke he’ll make to beat his defender instead of seeing the ball into his hands.

The Demon Deacons were better than the Eagles not because of pure soccer skill—as in the ability to pick a corner of the goal or try Ronaldo-esque tricks—but because of mental superiority.

Wake’s style—passing and

All eyes in the world of wom-en’s hockey are on Alex Carpen-ter. She’s just coming off a sensa-tional 2014-15 campaign, as she earned the Patty Kazmaier Me-morial Award for the best player in NCAA women’s hockey.

The New York Riveters saw her talent, making her the first overall pick of the new National Women’s Hockey League. Car-

penter is arguably the face of the sport. Most would crack under the pressure, but instead Carpenter is thriving, leading Boston College to victory against the University of Minnesota-Du-luth, 4-2.

Neither team had much of an advantage over the other at the start. After several shot attempts by the Eagles and Bulldogs in the first period, BC’s Meghan Grieve passed to Megan Keller, who shot hard into the back of the net.

Keller’s first goal of the season evaded Duluth goalie Maddie Rooney, who was still reeling af-ter Keller’s initial deflected shot.

Carpenter found her offen-sive stride toward the end of the second period, setting off a suc-cessful campaign for a hat trick. Her feat comes almost a year to the day since the Eagles scored their last trick, which came from fellow senior Lexi Bender.

Her first goal came easily, as she was looking for someone to

pass to, but instead found a shot, sending the puck far into the back corner.

Duluth took advantage of the lax celebratory defense and scored its second goal of the series, making the score 2-1. As goalie Katie Burt was recovering from another shot on goal, Mi-chela Cava snuck the puck behind Burt for an easy score.

DOING GOD’S WORK BC football might have lost in Durham, N.C., to Duke, but everybody was really a winner this week-end, thanks to the efforts of Clemson University. Th e Tigers took down Notre Dame in the primetime game on Saturday, knocking the Irish down from No. 6 in the AP Top 25 to No. 15.

RIGHT BACK AT IT Another weekend, another sweep for BC women’s hockey. Th e Eagles stuck it to Minnesota-Duluth on Friday and Saturday, domi-nating the Bulldogs for their fi rst two wins of the season.

BALL IS LIFE - By all accounts, this upcoming BC basketball season is going to be a long one. Some pundits have said it would be realistic to expect zero (!) conference wins from BC this season. But damn it, we can still be excited that practice started this weekend.

BLAME GAME - BC head coach Steve Addazio has found a number of scapegoats for BC’s shortcomings this season, but he has skirted around accepting blame himself. While it’s the players’ jobs to execute, it’s the coaching staff ’s job to call the plays and manage the game. BC has been poor in both of those aspects this season.

MUFFED - But this has nothing to do with Addazio. Sherman Alston has looked lost return-ing punts all season, and he made a great case to be taken off return duties by muffi ng a punt deep in BC’s own zone.

RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY - Hurri-cane Joaquin rolled through the East Coast this past week and wreaked havoc. While the eye of the storm swung out to sea, a number of professional and college games along the Atlantic coast were affected by the rain, making for a few ugly contests.

Every winning streak has to start somewhere.

For Boston College women’s hockey, it began w i t h a

4-1 win against the University of Minnesota-Duluth. The Bull-dogs, coming off a 2-0 start to the season, fell to the Eagles in a well-balanced match, the first in a two-game series.

The season-opener against Minnesota-Duluth did not make the Eagles nervous—quite the opposite. “It was a lot of excite-ment and energy,” assistant cap-tain Haley Skarupa said.

That excitement allowed the Eagles to take the lead early. They got off to a quick start with a goal in the second minute by Dana Trivigno. Teammate Toni Ann Miano originally shot the puck, but Trivigno, with the help of freshman Makenna

Newkirk—who earned her first collegiate point with the as-sist—finished it off with her own shot. Duluth goalie Kayla Black had no chance to save it, as the puck slipped between her and the right pipe.

Last season, Skarupa played alongside Patty Kazmaier Award winner Alex Carpenter on the same line. For the season open-er, head coach Katie Crowley shook things up, putting Skarupa alongside junior Andie Anastos. So far, the two look to be a dy-namic duo.

Anastos and Skarupa dem-onstrated their good chemistry, as Anastos scored two goals and Skarupa supplied the assist for both.

Skarupa claimed the puck from the Bulldogs and brought it down toward the goal. She had her own shot, but Anastos fol-lowed up when several Bulldogs blocked the play, creating confu-sion. “I slapped at the puck and I didn’t even know it was in until I

skated past,” Anastos said. By the seventh minute of the game, the Eagles were up 2-0.

Goalie Katie Burt kept the Bulldogs at bay, deftly saving 22 shots. Burt played aggres-sively, making sure that the puck did not slip through the sides when she was bombarded in the crease.

Kayla Black, the only return-ing member of the Bulldogs, notched 27 saves, keeping up with Burt. The Eagles’ offense, however, punished Black with tough shots. In the second pe-riod, the Eagles fired off three shots within seconds, rebound-ing off Black’s pads, and keeping Black on her toes, but failing to finish them off.

BC’s third goal came dur-ing a power play, during which Carpenter charged the goal and shot in between the goalie’s legs, who slumped over in frustra-tion. Head coach Katie Crowley praised the team for capitalizing on a power play, which they

failed to do in three other oppor-tunities during the game. “We haven’t had that much practice with it [power plays] yet, but I thought they moved the puck really well,” Crowley said.

Anastos scored her second goal of the game after a de-layed pass by teammate Meghan Grieves.

“She was doing a little dance with the puck for a while,” Anas-tos said. She took the pass and shot it, with the goalie unable to recover it in the 20th minute of the second period.

The Eagles failed to shine in the third period, with Katie Burt and her defensive line allowing a goal into the upper corner in the seventh minute by Bulldog Lara Stalder.

Though the Bulldogs couldn’t put another one in between the pipes, the Eagles also couldn’t produce another goal, even though they had 12 shots in the period, the most in the game. “We ended up losing that pe-

riod,” Anastos said.Crowley agreed, offering

some pointers on how to im-prove for tomorrow.

“I want to tighten up our D-zone a little bit,” Crowley said.

The Eagles encountered thesame problem in the third pe-riod of their exhibition gameagainst Guelph, when BC goalieGabri Switaj allowed a goal tothe Canadian college. While theteam has stellar play in the firsttwo periods, the Eagles need towork to stretch their game to a full 60 minutes.

The team, which went 34-3-2 last season, has a lot of expecta-tions to meet.

They are currently ranked asthe No. 2 team in the nation byall of the major polls.

But with all three of the cap-tains—Trivigno, Carpenter, andAnastos—scoring goals in theseason opener, the future looksbright for the Eagles.

A winning streak has begun yet again.

Andie Anastos scored two goals in a dominating victory over Minnesota Duluth, and linemate Haley Skarupa assisted on each goal. The duo combined for seven shots on goaltender Kayla Black.

Clark Griswold took his fam-ily on a road trip to create last-ing memories in the classic film National Lampoon’s Vacation.The Boston College women’s volleyball team just completed a road trip of their own, but in addition to making memories, their goal was to start conquer-ing the ACC.

Last weekend, the first half of the road trip left the Eagles emp-ty handed. As October rolled

around, the girls were looking to turn over a new leaf in the Atlantic Coastal Conference.

On Friday, Oct. 2, the girls arrived at Notre Dame poised to get back to winning form. It did not take long for this to happen, as the first set began and the Eagles showed no mercy. After opening up to a 5-0 start thanks to the help of two service aces by Madisen Lydon, the girls did not look back and took the set 25-12.

The second set saw the Fight-ing Irish take an early lead,

which was difficult for the Eagles to eradicate in the infancy of the set.

In the turning point in the match, however, Katty Workman and Sol Calvete produced back-to-back kills and put the Eagles up 10-8. This lead was never relinquished and the girls took the set 25-19.

Set three saw very little seri-ous threat from Notre Dame in the third set, maintaining a solid lead throughout thanks to fine performances and crucial kills from McKenna Goss and Katty

Workman. Boston College took the set 25-17, and won the game 3-0 for their first conference win of the season.

With a win under the belt at South Bend, the Eagles took to Louisville in search of their second consecutive victory.

Looking to make the second half of the ACC road trip a suc-cess, the girls were focused as they entered the game Sunday afternoon.

Unfortunately for the Eagles, the Cardinals were a relentless force not to be trifled with. The

first two sets saw dominantperformances by the home team, resulting in a 25-12 victory for the Cardinals in both sets.

Set three was the highlightof the game, with Workman and Goss posting two kills apiece.This effort was once again too little, however, as the Eagles fell short, 25-17.

The road trip did not pan out the way the Eagles were hop-ing, but a solid away victory atrival Notre Dame is enough to encourage the team for the road ahead.

moving, keeping the ball on the ground—is a reflection of it’s ability to think. Any ACC team has the skill to make these passes, but only the best have the patience and mental stamina to go through a series of 10 short passes just to go 20 yards upfield.

While shouts of “take care of it” and “use it a little better next time” came from BC’s bench throughout the game, Wake Forest was already doing

just that.The Demon Deacons, and

all their effortless give-and-go’s, represent the end goal for the Eagles. For the first time in a while, this ranked BC team looks like a real contender.

Despite all this inexperi-ence, BC has started 6-3-1, a massive improvement over last year’s 5-8-3 record. They are currently ranked as high as No. 22 in various national soccer polls, and they are only powered by Zeiko and a bunch of sophomores and freshmen.

One look at Lewis, En-strom, Davock, Len Zeugner, Balf—nearly the whole squad, really—and it’s clear that are a team for the future, one that is approaching rapidly.

Tactically, the 4-1-4-1 has looked like a major upgrade from past years, in which BC has utilized a 4-4-2. Abe Bibas fits perfectly as the one player in between the four midfield-ers and defenders. In the mold of Nigel de Jong, he has been outstanding in thwarting the attack.

Meanwhile, Balf, who usu-ally played the defensive role in last year’s diamond midfield, can focus more on setting the offensive tempo as the fulcrum of the formation. With these two in place, and Joshua Forbes or someone else alongside Balf, the attacking talent is free to get forward.

The Deacons did not expose any major flaws in BC’s coach-ing or formation. They were simply the better team, as Ed Kelly emphasized postgame. Using possession as their de-

fense, they never let the Eagles into the game.

A combination of youth and a few injuries makes the possibility of matching Wake’s performance nearly impossible, as the Eagles do not have the full squad necessary to reach Wake’s all-around performance.

So, as it stands, the only thing holding them back is inexperience. Any program that only has to wait for young players to improve over time is on the right track, and with the current talent on the roster, the

Eagles are on the fast track. If BC can continue to bring

in recruiting classes like this year, then this team can quickly progress to a point where it can start seriously looking at com-peting in the ACC and NCAA tournaments.

It’s only a matter of time nowbefore BC can replicate Wake Forest’s magnificent display of the beautiful game.

New captains Dana Trivigno (8) and Andie Anastos (23) excelled in game one of this series, while Alex Carpenter stole the show in the second game.

and went to the ground after cross-ing the plane. Smith the receiver began his celebration, showing the ball to the line judge.

Then Addazio burst into a burnt orange inferno, fired by the ghosts of Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, and all the famous Blue Devils who college basketball fans believe got every call to go their way.

The refs called it an incomple-tion on the field, claiming that Smith didn’t have possession as he went to the ground. That incited outrage from Addazio, so much so that he’d have to be restrained by assistants and he’d still be chirp-ing when the Eagles headed to the locker room at the half. He didn’t outright blame Thadd, but at least provided his hypothesis.

“Never present the ball [to the refs],” Addazio said. “When you catch the ball, bring the ball right back to you.”

Whether the line judge blew the call or not, it doesn’t excuse the botched snap on a field goal attempt by Colton Lichtenberg immediately after that play. Nor does it excuse BC’s seemingly neverending parade of special teams miscues.

Sherman Alston, a surprising option given Addazio’s qualms

with the return team throughout the whole season, muffed a punt at BC’s own 14-yard line, slam-ming his hands against his helmet in disgust after he did.

That didn’t end up hurting anything but the clock, thanks to a Herculean effort by the defensive line. Eyeing 4th and 1 at the goal line, Cutcliffe decided to go for the kill.

Kill, meet Kevin Kavalec and Matt Milano and their incredible ability to stuff the run. That stop seemed to spark BC—a couple of drives later, Flutie hit Smith on a 66-yard touchdown pass into the wind to cut that lead to 9-7.

And yet we come back to the special teams unit. An impressive drive led by Flutie and Marcus

Outlow set up a 4th and 3 in Blue Devil territory. Normally, this would be a chance for a 45-yard field goal. But this is a story the Eagles have already written—last year, Alex Howell, a more expe-rienced kicker than Lichtenberg, missed a 42-yarder that could’ve tied BC’s game against Florida State.

Addazio decided to send out his true freshman—the only op-tion, considering Howell’s injuries rendered him unavailable for placekicking—thinking history couldn’t bite him twice and acting

conservative was the way to go. He felt it’d be “absolutely crazy” to do anything but trust his kicker—”He doesn’t lack for a leg,” Addazio claimed.

But today, Lichtenberg did, coming up well short of the goal-posts.

With one more chance at midfield after a bad punt by Duke, the Eagles couldn’t make that one more play.

Addazio pointed out that his team did outgain the Blue Devils 305 to 228, which, by all respects, is a positive sign for this offense. Even he couldn’t avoid mention-ing the team’s blown opportuni-ties. “We had seven taken off the board and two missed field goals,” Addazio said. “That’s 13 points off the board.”

Yet he kept coming back to one crucial point: this is still a young team. This is a team that will make mistakes, especially given the banged up offense down Darius Wade, Jonathan Hilliman, and Myles Willis.

And while that’s fair, to credit his team’s miscues on a young offense filled with many players that have been thrust into start-ing roles for the first time it’s worthwhile asking: When will Addazio stop making mistakes of his own?

later with her second goal of the game. After receiving a pass from Makenna Newkirk, Car-penter shot into a narrow spot in between the goalie and the right pipe.

The Bulldogs crept back up on the Eagles again in the third pe-riod, when Duluth forward Maria Lindh scored in a miniscule space in the right corner. Burt was visibly upset by the goal, which made its way in by sheer luck. Lindh’s goal put the pressure on the Eagles again to make the defi-cit wider, but BC’s defense held up enough to prevent another goal from the Bulldogs.

With 11 seconds left, Carpen-ter scored from far out on a wide-open net, finally earning her hat trick. “We were a really good goal scoring team last year but I think obviously we can improve on that,” Carpenter said.

Probably some good advice, as

the Eagles went 34-3-2 last sea-son with 192 goals and are now ranked No. 2 in the country. Head coach Katie Crowley weighed in on Carpenter’s importance to the team after her impressive performance. “She makes things happen when she’s out there,” Crowley said. “I’m happy she plays for us.”

The Eagles played a much closer game against Duluth than the first in the two-game series, which the Eagles won, 4-1. BC put up 31 shots to the Bulldogs’ 23, but the Bulldogs showed more offensive promise in the second game, beating out the Eagles’ 33 shot count with 34. This can part-ly be attributed to BC’s defense, which has faltered toward the end of games so far this season. “We have to buckle down on our defense and make improvements back there,” Crowley said.

The sky’s the limit for Alex Carpenter. As a senior, she will have to decide whether to play

McKenzie Meehan stood in the rain as she watched her ball slip just wide right of the Univer-

sity of North Caro-

lina goal post. It was the shot that would have given Boston College its only chance to fight back against the ACC’s number one seed. But the wind swept

it away.The Eagles—now 8-4-1 over-

all and 2-1-1 in the ACC—and the No. 1-ranked Tar Heels, who increased their records to 11-0-1 overall and 4-0 in the confer-ence, battled this past Friday in poor weather conditions as Hurricane Joaquin inched closer to the coast.

The game was originally scheduled to take place on the UNC campus, but the Tar Heels’ home field Fetzer Field was

unplayable after heavy amounts of rain washed out the state on Thursday night and into Friday. Location was changed to Cedar Falls Park, though the rain still proved to be a factor throughout the evening.

The Tar Heels saw through the rain pretty clearly early on in the first half, with UNC eas-ing the ball down the wet field with sharp passing to take them into Eagle territory. Following a combination between Cameron

Castleberry and Joanna Boyles, Alexa Newfield sent the ball into the back of the Alexis Bryant-defended net from 12 yards out to give UNC the lead after 15:36 minutes.

The Tar Heels camped out in BC’s half for the duration of play, with five corners following the first goal, forcing the Eagles to play the defensive. UNC solidi-fied its win in the 51st minute, when a rocket from Tar Heel Joanna Boyles smacked the top

right corner from 28 yards out. The Eagles’ only break came in the 60th minute when Meehan was able to break free and get a shot off on the UNC goal, but could not squeeze it inside the net.

Hayley Dowd managed to get down field into the Tar Heel half as well and attempted a shot of her own, but failed to actually hit net.

The Eagles finished with a total of three shots in the game,

and keeper Bryant tallied up five saves defending BC’s goal.

The matchup went to showthat the maroon and gold have a lot of work to do to contend with the level of competition that UNC displays.

BC was outshot 21-3 and UNC took advantage of nine corner kicks. The Eagles have some work to do, specifically on the offensive, if they want tobe seen as a true competitor inthe ACC.

Puffs of steam collect into a cloud above the screaming hud-dle of Wake Forest University

play-ers. Their

warm breath does little to com-bat Newton Campus Soccer Field’s frigid playing conditions, but their combined effort on the pitch wears down a tough Boston College back line with a five-minute passing attack that culminates in a seismic finish from Jack Harrison. Eagle de-fenders look on in astonishment, eyeing an excuse or penalty to explain their first half deficit. They can only watch as their gulps of air vanish amid the De-mon Deacons’ celebration, along with any hopes of extending their now-forgotten four-game unbeaten streak.

BC (6-3-1, 2-2 ACC) suffered a 5-0 loss on Friday night to a No. 6 Wake Forest (8-1-1, 3-0-1 ACC) squad that played a near-perfect game despite dismal weather conditions under the lights. The defeat will undoubt-edly hurt the Eagles’ chances of garnering a spot in next week’s NSCAA Coaches rankings, but more importantly, it serves as a grim reminder of the unforgiv-

ing ACC schedule that lies ahead of them.

“We got smashed,” BC head coach Ed Kelly said. “[Wake Forest] could be a national championship team. Some of their movement was exquisite, and we’re having trouble passing to someone’s feet at times.”

Harrison, the 2015 Men’s Soccer National Gatorade Player of the Year, led the way for Wake Forest, opening up the scoring with a strike in the 33rd minute that snuck underneath BC goal-keeper Cedric Saladin.

A British-born freshman who starred at Massachusetts’ Berkshire School as a midfielder, Harrison capped off his big night with some flare, fielding a high-bouncing cross and keeping his first-touch laser inches below the top crossbar to give Wake Forest a 4-0 lead.

Kelly pursued Harrison, a former teammate of Eagle for-ward Zeiko Lewis, as a top re-cruit last year before losing out to Wake Forest.

“He was with Manchester United when he was a kid for like five years,” Kelly said. “He should go home now. He’s wasting his time in college—not for his edu-cation, I mean soccer-wise.”

Outmatched and outplayed, the young Eagles stood as no match for one of the best teams in the country.

Boston College field hockey goalie, Leah Settipane, came into the game against Wake Forest

look-i n g t o reach a

personal milestone: she was just one win away from the record for most career wins by a BC goalie.

At the same time, she was trying to help her team achieve its first in-conference win.

Despite her best efforts and multiple stellar saves, No. 11 Boston College field hockey (6-5, 0-3) fell 3-2 to the No. 7 Wake Forest Demon Deacons (10-2, 3-0) in Winston-Salem, N.C. on Sunday afternoon.

The game started off rough for BC. The Eagles quickly fell behind by a score of 3-0. The action started for Wake, with its first

goal coming off the stick of Krysta Wangerin at the 6:32 mark.

Wake followed that up with a second goal two minutes later and it’s third goal five minutes after that to take their lead of 3-0. After those three goals and more than 10 minutes still remaining in the first half, the Eagles held Wake off for the rest of the first half.

In the second half, BC’s of-fense finally started to wake up. After only three shots and two corners in the first half, BC took 10 shots and had four corners in the second half of the game. More opportunities and more aggres-sion led to much better results for the Eagles in the second half.

Three minutes into the first half, Emily McCoy scored the first goal of the afternoon for the Eagles on a backhand shot with an assist from Romee Stiekema to make the score 3-1.

Later on, the Eagles struck again to make the score 3-2, this time the goal was scored by the freshman from the Netherlands, Frederique Haverhals.

Despite a bevy of opportuni-ties throughout the second half, the Eagles did not score again in the second half. The Eagles ended up dropping their third straight game and remained winless in Atlantic Coast Conference play this season.

The game was markedly differ-ent for the Eagles after halftime. In the second half, BC stepped up its defense and kept Wake off the board.

While goalie Leah Settipane failed to tie the record for career wins by a BC goalie, she did step up big time for the Eagles in this game, recording 10 saves throughout the game and keeping it close for the Eagles. But the of-fense left BC just short.

on the ground that started in the defensive third and steadily worked its way up the field. The Demon Deacons’ calculated as-sault was patient, yet lethal.

In the 40th minute, Wake Forest’s Tane Gent fired a shot from close range to give the Deacons a 2-0 lead before half-time. At the break, the Demon Deacons held advantages in nearly every offensive category, but BC was still knocking on the door. The second half saw Wake Forest promptly lock that door and shoo any remaining Eagles away like obnoxious Comcast telemarketers.

Early in the second period, Wake Forest defender Brad Dun-wall opted for the short corner, tapping a quick ball on the ground to forward Jon Bakero instead of sending a cross directly into the box. The result? Bakero utilized his extra space and improved angle, taking a few touches before sending a ball directly to the head of defender Kevin Politz, who was eagerly waiting to deliver the knockout punch.

It seemed as if each BC scor-ing opportunity was thwarted before it could even begin to de-velop, as the unit only mustered five shots against an unassuming but effective Wake defense. Har-rison equaled the Eagles’ total, launching five shots on his own

for Wake Forest.By the end of the beating,

the Deacons had scored three second-half goals on four shot attempts, rubbing salt in the al-ready-painful wound by scoring the final goal on a penalty kick with under 10 seconds left.

Although, in the words of Kelly, BC got “killed,” “smashed,”

and “beat by a better team,” the Eagles will have a chance to pick up the pieces on Tuesday when they travel to Providence for a non-conference matchup against Brown.

Next Friday, they find them-selves back against the ropes once again versus the defending national champions, No. 16 Vir-

ginia. Such are the struggles of an ACC schedule.

And while the blowout may yield some positives for the inex-perienced roster, the loss should serve as a blunt wake-up call for Kelly’s team: the Eagles aren’t theonly ACC team with explosive, goal-scoring freshmen. Proceedwith caution.

Fetty Wap was launched into the public eye by the success of his debut single “Trap Queen,” which has gone on to become a bonafide radio juggernaut, peaking on the Billboard Top 100 Chart at No. 2. Accumulating over 250 million views on YouTube, a feat in and of itself,

Fetty was further pro-pelled into the pop music

stratosphere with a helpful co-sign from Drake—the reigning King of Pop—on his track “My Way,” another Billboard smash. He has followed up the success of his two debut singles with three more (“679,” “Again,” and “RGF Island”) that have, so far, peaked at six, seven, and 61 on the charts, respectively. With his recent musical onslaught, Fetty Wap has proven to be a ubiquitous radio

presence and a preeminent force in the world of hip-hop today.

Widely considered to be one of the most anticipated projects of the year, his debut album, Fetty Wap, has finally arrived. Anxious to hear what their new favorite hip-hop crooner had cooked up for them, people took no time in down-loading the LP. It currently sits atop the iTunes Album chart, second only to a joint album from Drake and Future, arguably the two most influential artists in rap right now.

The album’s commercial success has been solid, and deservedly so. Fetty Wap stacks this project from top to bottom with infectiously catchy hooks and up-beat production, making for irresistibly fun music.

His voice glides into every track drip-ping with auto-tuned swagger. While many see the use of voice enhancement technology as a crutch, Fetty seems to use it as an addition to the fact that he is a naturally gifted singer, giving his sound a unique flare and allowing room for even more impressive vocal acrobat-

ics than he is innately capable of. While his lyrics are admittedly

simple and, at times, even laughably silly, his music possesses an undeniable charm. Fetty Wap sings a siren song strong enough to lure even the staunch-est lyric-lovers into the rocks of his trap kingdom. The sincerity in Fetty’s voice transcends the importance of power-ful lyricism. He communicates more through the fluidity of his sound, war-bling in and out of jubilant trap beats, than through the content of his lyrics. When listening to this album, you get the impression that you’re witnessing Fetty Wap in his purest, most honest form: naturally talented and indisput-ably fun.

The feel of this album is only further reinforced by Fetty’s genuinely earnest public persona. After winning a Music Choice Award for “Trap Queen” earlier this year, he accepted the award and went on to say, “This is actually the first award I ever won. I ain’t never won nothin’ in my life before.” He paused for a moment in reflection, and then

At the end of the title track of her new album, Unbreakable, Janet Jackson de-clares in a her sultry speaking voice: “It’s been a while / Lots to talk about.” And it has been awhile. It’s been seven years, to be exact, since her last album, Discipline

(2008), which disap-pointed many fans . In her lat-

est work, Jackson makes up in many ways for the failures of her previous album.

For decades, Jackson has been a legend of the pop/R&B genre. One of the defining characteristics of a pop music legend is that they are able to fluidly move through genres, making it seem a natural progression of sound, rather than an experiment or change in direction.

Jackson has proved that she can make such transitions throughout her career. Starting with her third solo out-ing, Control—which proved she truly could step out her brother’s shadow and make a unique mark on the music industry.

On that album, she sounded more

like Prince’s little sister than the king of Pop’s, as she was backed by the hard, angular electronic synths that were coming out of Minneapolis. Mixed with her sweet voice and lyrics, it was a win-ning formula.

Then there was the hugely success-ful, The Velvet Rope, which saw her transform into a socially conscious pop star with soul, where she tackled difficult issues such as abuse.

Unbreakable finds her throwing these previously established personas to the wind, embracing yet another unique voice, one of simple fun and excitement.

She does not draw all the fun from the catchy nature of synth pop though the use of synths is apparent throughout the record, it is more reminiscent of ’90s house or disco.

The ’90s house groove is exemplified on the song, “Night,” where the beat stops and starts, twists and turns, and glitches and glades over supremely me-lodic harmonies, as she sings, “I woke up in Heaven in the morning / With the biggest smile upon my face.” It sounds like the hottest club jam coming out of Philadelphia in 1998 and rivals anything that Disclosure put out.

The disco aspect is brought through by a bouncy beat that is bolstered by a piano riff on “Take Me Away.” While “Broken Hearts Heal” has a disco in-

spired beat and she brings the nostalgia of the ’70s era through the lyrics, which are some of the best on the record: “We made-up songs to do our chores to / And harmonized while we all did our part / Danced and sang our way through most anything / Always felt safe in each others’ love.” Such words are intriguing. As a fan, it’s hard not to imagine that this is what it was like in the Jackson household.

It is when Jackson slows her music down, such as on “Lesson Learned,” that you realize what is holding the record together: her voice. Light, agile and like a reed you realize that before there was Aaliyah or FKA Twigs, there was Miss Jackson and she does it very, very well.

Overall the album is packed with great jams both club and slow. But therein lies its problem: Like many later Jackson albums, it is a mammoth work of 19 songs and you can lose your way and the feel of the album with so many songs.

Even though a more concise mes-sage may be lost, it is a victory for Miss Jackson. For her fans young and old, this album is a homecoming to music. They showed their appreciation by tak-ing the album to number one, and she showed hers by giving them an album packed with songs to dance and cry to. Classic Janet.

Hanging on in quiet desperation may be the English way, and, for once, it works.

For over a decade, Editors have been both ever-present and completely anonymous. Ris-ing to some popularity after their 2005 debut album Th e Break Room, the band shouldered the burden of being the next “it” group to spring

forth from the scep-tered isle, and, to an extent, began to crumble

under the insurmountable weight of expecta-tion. Or so we thought.

In Dream, Editors’ fifth studio album, serves as a reminder that no matter how ominous, distressing, or heartbreaking Editors become, they will always fi nd a way back into our ears, and by extension, our soul. A raw sound comes forth that nevertheless enlists the elements synonymous with their character and does so in such a way that allows us encounter

hand does not make you a miracle.” Th e song’s riff s and constant repetitions of the chorus remind the listener of a prayer, a constant yearning for validation. Th e song is the most Editors-like of the album, it generates a state of mind that resonates with the quintessential late-afternoon cof-fee shop, where the search for lonesome company in order to escape the abyss of your own mind becomes strikingly real.

In Dream feels like the completion of

Editors’ evolution as musicians and estab-lishes them as a staple in the alt-rock genre. Its constant infusion of futuristic soundsinto the instrumental backbone generates a fresh yet familiar sound. Smith has lostneither any of his vocal vivacity nor his obsession with the unfulfi lled. Editors havea large growth margin and they took a giantstep in the right direction with this album.Th eir lucid dreams enter reality, at least fornow, and it works.

The English rock band returns to its origins, leaves behind gloomy, apathetic tone.

IN DREAMEditors

a faint glistening burning within the work, a reminder of their inherent fervent talent.

“No Harm,” the album’s opening track, embodies all of the “new” qualities Editors bring forth, but with enough character that long-time fans will recognize the substance simmering beneath the surface. It reminds listeners of the raising of the curtain during a performance and the intricate and careful introduction of sounds that feel right at home with the ambiance it generates.

Editors become more Massive Attack than Depeche Mode as they morph their sounds into a conglomeration of the two with its own distinct aura—the painful out-ward refl ection has never felt so good.

For years, Editors have been damned if they do and damned if they don’t—care-fully (or dangerously) stepping on and sidestepping around their own self-imposed boundaries. Th eir follow-up to their 2005 success, An End Has A Start, it felt more as an extension of their previous work rather than a separate undertaking. Th e same heavy reliance on guitars, deep, if not demoraliz-ing, themes, and Tom Smith’s striking vocals were present—just not its previous umph.

Th eir next two studio endeavors ex-plored previously uncharted territory with the addition of a distinctly electronic character and what they described as “vibe,” which, in simple terms, became an attempt to induce certain emotions within the listener. Unfortunately, all they induced was apathy and often annoyance. Their future came into question: Would they join the expanding rank-and-fi le division of the industry retreat into its graveyard of forgotten artists?

Th e answer came as a resounding “no” in the form of the band fi nally maturing and generating that long-sought sound. When it works, it’s breathtaking, and when it does not, it returns to its default mode, which in their case is better than the majority of material produced in today’s materialistic musical paradigm.

And In Dream sounds both similar and foreign. “Forgiveness” feels most at home after a few run-throughs. It speaks of the necessary qualifi cations to deserve absolu-tion from a deeply personal perspective, as Smith resolutely says, “Th e line in the sand is not drawn for everyone / the fl ag in your

Lower Live went wild on Thursday night for a couple sets from a capella groups like The Acoustics and The Bostonians among others, then settled in for the Boston College Music Guild’s latest open mic night.

If there is one thing you can always expect from Empire, it is over-the-top drama. From a caged Cookie on stage to Ludacris’ hostile takeover attempts, the first couple episodes of the second sea-son certainly deliver. While not many new characters have been introduced, familiar characters have drastically changed. Jamal, whose transformation began halfway through the last season, has become an entirely different person.

Gone is the sweet sensitive ‘Mal’ and i n h i s place is a petty,

egotistical head of Empire. Turning on Cookie and Co., Jamal burns bridges and does nothing to better his stand-ings. Terrence Howard continues to step up his game as lead. In several scenes, his acting shines brilliantly as he introduces new facets to the character. He reminds the audience that the pas-sionate, skilled Lucious seen in the past is still very much alive despite the suits

into what it is today, and LyDy gives us the chance to see if Cookie is capable of doing the same. Furthermore, in this new venture, opportunities for Hakeem may arise. Perhaps given some respon-sibility he will grow up, at least a bit. While these episodes flowed slightly slower than usual, they were still a

strong beginning to the season. If there was any doubts that the show couldn’tfollow us such a fantastic first season,these episodes thoroughly squashed them. There is quite a bit left for this dysfunctional family and these episodes only increased the interest level for howthings will play out.

As Lucious’ world crashes around him, Terrence Howard continues to blister his way through ‘Empire’ as a compelling lead.

and board meetings. Most of the first episode is dedicated

to show us Lucious’ new world behind bars. Meanwhile, Jamal struggles to find time for his music and simultane-ously run Empire. Still others are busy convincing an investor to back them in future endeavors.

Shifting gears, the second episode is dedicated to Cookie’s predictable move to start a new company—Lyon Dynasty. Outside the shady studio Mal, it quickly becomes clear that this new team has very different views on what happens next. Hakeem is obsessed with groom-ing new talent in the form a new girl group “like Destiny’s Child.” Cookie is excited about the new prospect, even as she attempts to hold on to Jamal.

Andre is once again out of his ele-ment, wanting to be back at Empire, despite the lack of need for him. As he meets with Lucious to beg to be brought back into the fold, viewers are given in-sight into Lucious’ disdain for Andre.

It is difficult to predict how long the Lyon Dynasty idea will remain, but one can hope it stays for a while. It will be interesting to see how Cookie pulls it off and to watch her go head-to-head with Empire, particularly the determined

Lucious. Up to this point, it has all been talk, no action. But talk is cheap. When given the chance, viewers have seen that Cookie is a force to be reckoned with. As an instrumental figure in the launching of Lucious’ business, she proves she is resourceful. One cannot deny, however, that he was the one who built Empire

along the quiet carpet and examines the old, broken books and reads about how they got there.

Dubliners is a series of naturalistic short stories detailing the hum-drum depravity of Dublin in the beginning of the 20th century. Joyce first inquired about its possible publication in the summer of 1906, and it took about nine years of haggling, mostly over its obscene language and content, for the collection to be published by London publisher Grant Richards in 1914. Joyce submitted revised manuscript after revised manuscript to publisher, as he and Barnacle moved from Dublin, to Rome, and then Trieste. In the following year, Joyce began work on Ulysses, which takes many of the concerns of Dubliners but widens in epic scope and task.

As the exhibit succinctly explains, “Th e narrative of Ulysses parallels Homer’s Odyssey in 18 episodes. The central character is a non-practicing Jew, Leopold Bloom, who the reader follows around Dublin during the course of an ordinary but not arbitrary day—June 16, 1904—the date of Joyce’s fi rst outing with his life companion Nora Barnacle, subsequently celebrated in annual “Bloomsday” festivals.”

Ulysses was eventually published in 1922, after fi rst being serialized in the Little Review—an American literary magazine—beginning in March 1918. It was successfully

published due to Joyce’s heightened status after Dubliners, the help of other avant-garde writers like T.S. Elliot, Ernest Hemingway, and Gertrude Stein among others, but mostly American-in-Paris publisher Sylvia Beach who handled the printing and advertising for Joyce’s modern epic.

In 1923, now living in Paris, Joyce begins work on “Work in Progress” which would eventually become his multi-lingual, purposely incoherent Finnegan’s Wake.“Work in Progress” would be heavily serialized in avant garde literary magazines in the 1930s and the final novel would eventually be published by Faber and Faber in London and the Vikings Press in New York on May 4, 1939. He’d die at age 59 on Jan. 13, 1941.

Th e exhibit also features a few more fun, less instructional items. Joyce’s death mask rests in the Dubliners row. It’s a copy of the casing made by Swiss sculptor Paul Speck. Joyce looks quietly self-satisfi ed, with an air of dignity, like he knew Speck was coming.

Another highlight was an edition of Th e Cat & the Devil, a French folklore infused with Joyce’s Irish wit. In the tale, “the mayor of the little town by the Loire made a pact with the Devil to build a bridge across the river.” Th e Devil agrees to build the bridge, as long as the fi rst soul to cross the bridge is the mayor’s of the Devil’s. And so the mayor arrives at the new bridge the next morning, carrying a cat. Th en, it’s the cat that crosses the bridge into the Devil’s arms. Th e tale is a nice respite from historical publication talk.

Th e exhibit has been a quiet, thoughtful addition to the memorialization of Irish writing on the Boston College campus. Joyce and his work have found their way across the world, and have found a bit of an honorary

SUMMER LIN

When Chanel Oberlin marches through the hallowed halls of her once-great sorority with the sharp resolve of a military sergeant and dunks her maid’s head into a large vat of hot frying oil, it’s a slow-motion car crash scenario. No matter how much we want to, we can’t seem to tear our eyes away in horror when the maid begins peeling her face off .

In a genre replete with chainsaw-wielding masked murderers and one too many damsels-in-distress, spoofi ng horror fi lm cliches has become a spoof in itself. Horror fi lms have come a long way since Freddy Krueger terrorized suburban teenagers in their dreams and Michael Myers chased Laurie Strode around her house with a kitchen knife. Film franchises like Scream (or the much-lauded Cabin in the Woods) riff on horror movie conventions with a certain level of self-discernment while still delivering on the promised blood and gore.

When co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the minds behind Glee and American Horror Story, fi rst imagined Scream Queens as a spoof of other hor-ror movie spoofs, Murphy promised at least one character death per episode. In a show which Murphy describes as, “Heathers meets Halloween,” Scream Queens has more than delivered on that promise. When the large star-studded ensemble cast features pop stars Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas, along with Little Miss Sunshine’s Abigail Breslin, Glee’s Lea Michele, scream queen veteran Jamie Lee Curtis, and American Horror Story alums Emma Roberts and Skyler Samuels, it’s only a matter of time before they’re picked off one by one.

Murphy’s writing delves into the familiar territory of identity politics and hatred for humor’s sake. Roberts plays the show’s lead, Chanel Oberlin, the president of Kappa Kappa Tau who fi ghts against school administrators when they force her sorority to accept pledges of ev-ery creed. Meanwhile, a chainsaw-wield-ing serial killer in a red devil costume begins targeting members of Kappa. Cha-nel is written as a caricature of the rich, popular, racist, white girl trope. With her derision toward “fatties and ethnics,” as well as her ableist, classist, and homo-phobic remarks, Chanel is meant to be the character we love to hate. “I thought about donating my clothes to charity, but there’s something so depressing about poor people walking around in couture,” she says in one scene. “It’s like sorry, but that Lanvin sweater is not appropriate for your job at Roy Rogers, welfare queen.”

Rather than disputing Chanel’s worldview, however, Scream Queensseems to perpetuate it. While Keke Palmer plays Zayday Williams, the genius sidekick to the show’s protagonist, Grace Gardner (Samuels), Scream Queens also features a lazy black security guard and a sexually embittered ’70s-era feminist played by Curtis. It’s sloppy storytelling at its peak, abandoning cohesive plot structure and character development in favor of slasher fi lm-level antics. Th e show’s humor ultimately falls fl at when characters seem to embrace their own stereotypes rather than challenge them.

Th e deaths themselves are Shake-spearean in nature—each scene is a testa-ment to how far Murphy and Falchuk are willing to go in terms of shock value and gross-out humor. Ironically enough, the only time Scream Queens is even mildly watchable is when characters are being sawed in half or decapitated by riding lawn mowers. We keep our eyes glued to the screen with the same level of rever-ence as when we watched Paris Hilton get brutally impaled in the 2005 House of Wax remake. When the show forsakes nuanced characters and believable plot structure (two elements that make horror fi lms scary in the fi rst place,) the only way to watch is to mute the show during dialogue scenes and only tune in when you hear the distant whirl of a chainsaw.

“What’s your major?” “Th eology”“Th e study of God … not bad.”This Friday, the Campus Activities Board

(CAB) brought Improv Asylum to Robsham. Th e improvisation group, located in the North End, holds shows throughout the week. But for one night only, Robsham Th eatre was packed with students ready for a show full of laughter.

Th e whole show was fully improvised and relied on the energy of the audience to keep it going. A member from the group would prompt the crowd with a question or a topic that would dictate the subject of the scene. Th en they would choose the loudest, most common, or most creative response. These seemingly straightforward questions like, “What is your major?” would elicit responses interesting enough so as to allow the troupe to run with it and build an interesting scene. There was never a dull moment on stage and the performers always had a witty response to keep things moving.

One of the staff writers from Th e Heights was picked out from the crowd and asked to reveal personal information about herself. After gathering enough random information, the group

proceeded to act out this student’s life for both her and the audience, as the cast understood it. Th e skit consisted of deadlines for a paper, the irony of her fl ag football team being called basketball, the correct name to use for each of her roommates, and her love of the Jesuits.

At one point during the show, the group picked up a copy of this very publication. Each member of the group opened Th e Heights and read to the theater some of the paper’s most recent articles. Improv Asylum then took some comedic liberties and acted out their own interpretations.

One of the articles chosen was “Falling in Love at the Library” by arts editor Ryan Dowd. Th e skit that followed featured “Ryan Dowd,” the author of the article, loving everything in and about the library. Th e character tried to stay at the library overnight to go through the dewey decimal system manually to sort books into place.

Th e group highlighted another piece called “SockCess Is Starting From Th e Bottom” by Julie Orenstein. In this sketch it was decided that there needed to be a pool party sock and a slipper sock. Since the largest demographic of customers was teenage girls, they needed to market to this group especially.

Another improv technique the group used was the bell take-back system. As someone was

performing, the bell could be rung at anytime and the person speaking would have to replace the word they had just said with another and continue on with the scene as if there was never an interruption. Th e crowd was asked for a special skill they would put on a resume. Th e troupe came to a consensus with the talent in cooking and scene progressed from cooking quesadillas in the microwave to enchiladas to cereal.

Th e next part of Improv Asylum’s show was a guided limb game. Two audience members were handpicked to direct—like a puppeteer—two members of the troupe. Th e crowd was then asked for something in their room that no one else had. Someone yelled out “frog puppet” and the scene progresses from there. Th e frog puppet in questions was tasked with helping his son learn his letters from his mother, who was sad about him going off to school.

Improv Asylum did not disappoint. The crowd was overtaken with bellyaching laughter throughout the entire show. The whole group had such fun playing off each other and reading the dynamic of the audience. The company offers classes in Boston for anyone looking to learn. Improv Asylum will be holding a Cards Against Humanity show at midnight on Oct. 16. The show will be held in Hanover Street in the North End.

It’s fitting that an exhibit about the Jesuit-educated James Joyce lies just across the street from the decadently simple St. Mary’s. “Unhemmed As It Is Uneven: Joyce’s Odyssey in Print” has called Burns Library home since mid-June. It ends Oct. 8. Th e exhibit is a study of the publication of Joyce’s work—the struggle between a genius, often rightfully egotistical Irish writer and the publishing industry machinery he found standing between his work and its intended audience.

Born in Dublin in 1882, Joyce—one of fi rst and foremost critical modernist of the 20th century—spent the majority of his life and career transposing the people

of his Dublin from the city street to the page. He did it fi rst in the more manageableshort stories of Dubliners, and then against Homer’s Odyssey in the heralded Ulyssesand then in the even more difficult, language-overlapping, Finnegan’s Wake.

“Unhemmed As It Is Uneven” is set up in the opening corridor of the Burns Library, just before the distinguishedreading room. Th e Ulysses editions face those of Finnegan’s Wake, along the typicalplaques that offer timely explanations and timelines. Th e Dubliners history liesalongside the same wall in an adjoiningroom. It’s these three rows, these rivers of edition and histories that make up theheart of the exhibit, as the viewer walks
