As one o the worlds most re-nowned repositories o rare books,

the John Carter Brown Library has

stood staunch and proud on theMain Green since 1904. But under-

graduates need not be intimidated,sad Edward Wdmr, drtr the JCB the librarians dont bite.

Since taking the directorship 006, Wdmr, ag wth hscolleagues and the JCBs Board oAssociates, have been interested in

welcoming more undergraduatest th brary.

Its a world-class collectionright here, ootsteps away romBrown classrooms, and I thinkBrown students ought to knowabout these treasures, Widmersad.

Rich Ramirez 12.5 rst started

prg th JCB as a rst-yar,and has worked with Widmer on a

Group Independent Study Project.

He said he hopes other studentswill take advantage o both theJCBs physical resources and thepp wh wrk thr.

Te Watts History o the BookPrgram s dsgd t hp stu-dents do just that. Named orProessor Charles Watts II 47,th prgram aturs wrkshps,lectures and eld trips targeted atundergraduates rom both Brownand the Rhode Island School oDesign. Te programs organiz-rs am t hst at ast ur t sevents per semester, said Williamwaddell, chair o the JCB Associ-

ats Adsry Cu.Trough the Watts Program,

waddell saw the opportunity

to spark undergraduate interest th JCBs mystry bk atext o unidentied authorshipand origin encoded with a mys-terious shorthand thought to beth hadwrk Rhd Isadsounder Roger Williams. A group studts w k t dphrthe code in a Group IndependentRadg Prjt ths sprg.

Studts a as tak ada-tage o more ormal academic av-enues that use the JCB. StephenFoley, associate proessor o Eng-lish and comparative literatureand acting chair o the Englishdepartment, taught ENGL 1190N:

Brown: Writing the Archive,which showed students how tond and use the inormation at the

JCB. T brary s a mprtatpart bth th Urstys adth tys hstry, h sad.

But that does not mean the JCB

is reserved or history concentra-tors, Foley said. A new exhibit,Drugs th Cs: T NwAmerican Medicine Chest ocus-

s Nw Wrd pharmagy,and the JCB is interested in involv-ing students rom Alpert Medical

School as well as undergraduatebgy ad rmta -tratrs, wadd sad.

Students interested in inter-

national development will alsond the JCB useul, Widmer said.Following the 2010 earthquake inHat, th JCB was quk t hpdigitize Haitis historical archivesand play host to the countrys na-tional archivist. Te JCB is alsoworking on a project to digitizehistorical Peruvian books and will

soon begin a similar eort withBraz.

I think anyone who lovesBrown and is proud o its academ-

ic distinction ought to be reallyprud th JCB, Wdmr sad.

Te library started oering areduced-ee membership $15per year to Brown and RISDstudents last year. Te member-shp uds tats t a the events hosted by the JCB asso-ciates, special lectures, a newslet-ter and ree books specially craedr mmbrs.

Were actually losing moneyon the $15 associates, but itsworth it to have students around,Widmer said. He counts on stu-dts t ask mprtt qus-tions, which are oen some o thebst, h sad.

Te more hands, the moreys that ar put rt (thJCBs bks), th mr w ds-r, Fy sad.

But ut rty th d tpreserve the librarys rare and

valuable holdings made it difcultto open the JCB up to a wide pub-, s braras had t b s-lective about when and or whomthy ud pu ut th bks.

Dgtzat s hagg a that. Now that we can scan thebooks beautiully, were really in atime o wanting to expand reader-ship, Widmer said. Its a greattm t gag yug radrs.

It helps that students are morecomortable with t hese new tech-nologies, Foley said. He said hethinks digitization will attractnew audiences now that entirelibrary collections are availableat th push a butt.

At the same time, he said hethinks it is important to teachyoung readers to value the originalobjects. Even i youre going rom

a splendid, high-quality digitalimage to a book, you have a dier-

ent experience, he said. In a way,ths w thgs mak thoriginal books seem even moreuqu.

About 65 percent o students thinktheir classes are just right neither

Tis semesters largest class has506 studts ad th smast hasone, according to Sherry Gubata,assistant registrar. Some intro-ductory courses, such as ECON0110: Principles o Economicsand NEUR 0010: Te Brain: An

Introduction to Neuroscience,consistently attract more than 400studts.

Bartosz Zerebecki 15, who istakg th trdutry urs-ence course, and Karla ytus 15,who is taking CHEM 0330: Equi-brum, Rat ad Strutur, bthsaid they think their classes are toolarge. Zerebecki said he thinks rst-

years are orced into taking largeclasses because upperclassmen have

arady pr-rgstrd r smarclasses and are usually given preer-

ence when registering or seminars.

Zerebecki added that he would liketh Ursty t r mr sma

Juniors and seniors were morett wth thr ass szs. R-becca Willner 12, a classics con-centrator, said she has mostly taken

small classes. She said having ewerthan 20 students in a class leadsto a medium o having enough

perspectives, but the amount o

opinions is not overwhelming.Pab Gad-Paya 3, a -nomics concentrator, said classesthat need to be small such asupper-level economics seminars ar sma, but sm asss h hastak wrkd w as bg turs.

Seminars and language coursesare generally restricted to 20 or ew-r studts, whh a smtmsmean rst-years and sophomoresare not able to enroll. But Dominika

As the search or the Universitys19th president continues, Universityemployees hope or a leader whowill inspire sta to continue to dotheir best work, said Karen Davis,

economic climate could createa less heterogeneous student body.

Because the University is tu-ition-dependent more so thanay ts prs rasg tutis one o the only easible waysor it to maintain its academicand inrastructural capabilities,said Beppie Huidekoper, execu-tive vice president or nance andadmstrat.

Compared to Harvard, Yalead Prt, a smar prt th Urstys budgt msout o its endowment onlyabout 20 percent, compared toover 30 percent at Harvard andaround 50 percent at Yale and

Prt. T raty smarendowment aords less exibil-ity with the size o tuition, whichmakes up about 32 percent oBrws budgt.

Te impact o increased tu-ition, which rose 2.9 percent in2009, 4.5 percent in 2010 andanother 3.5 percent last spring,is something the University is al-ways worried about, Huidekopersad.

Both Huidekoper and ProvostMark Shss P5 sad thy -pect tuition to rise again this year,thugh a gur has t yt bddd.

Everyone is ully conscious oeconomic constraints, Huideko-

pr sad.Both expressed worries that

consistently raising tuition couldaect middle-class students or

whom, even with nancial aid,rasd tut a mak t scollege becomes a stretch, Schlis-s sad.

And though the Universitylooks to bolster its endowment by investing eectively and so-liciting donations Huidekopersaid dramatic endowment growthdst happ rght.

We have got to nd some oth-er sources o revenue, she added.Otherwise, were going to have to

start uttg prgrams.Achterho said she understands

the University needs tuition to

unction but that increases intuition should be better bal-anced with nancial aid. Dontsay youre a need-blind schooland youll take all students i youdont, she said. I love Brown, butI hate an institution that puts outa statmt t at uphd.

Huidekoper said i tuitionwere not increased, the gap inrevenue could result in reducedsalary increases or aculty anddelays in inrastructural develop-ment. Schlissel said the University

would likely not be able to hirew auty.

Eventually, he said, the Uni-

rsty ud start sg auty.Brown would stop being Brown,

h sad.Tough nancial aid always

increases alongside tuition, Schlis-sel acknowledged the rise may not

b ugh t kp g asyardab.

Browns nancial aid packages

arent as generous (as our peers),h sad. T us studtloans may render Browns packag-

s ss attrat tha ths rmschools like Princeton that havemd t a-r ad, h sad.

Te University will try to re-duce the amount o loans students

must take out, but there are noplans or the University to become

a-r, Hudkpr sad.I addt t bg th mst

tuition-dependent school among

its peers 12 schools identi-ed by the University includingStard, MI ad th thr IyLeague institutions Brownalso has a higher concentrationo undergraduates. Consequently,th Ursty s t just tut-dependent it is specically un-dergraduate tuition-dependent,Hudkpr sad.

Despite increasing at a lowerrat tha tut at Harard adYale, tuition at Brown is highertha at Harard, Ya, Prtand MI. Te most expensiveschool listed among Browns peers

is Columbia, whose tuition in-

rasd by 4.5 prt ast yar.Huidekoper, who previously

worked at Harvard, said Browns ry prdut wth th r-sources it has, despite it havingsignicantly less money than any ts prs.

And though endowment-heavy

schools may suer at the hands othe stock market, both Schlissel

ad Hudkpr sad thy wudpreer it i Brown were more

endowment-dependent. Werealways attempting to grow the size

It seems counterintuitive that asound artist would seek out oneo the quietest places on earth orinspiration. But that is just what EdOsborn, assistant proessor o visual

art, dd ths a wh h turdt th hgh Art.

It was a ulllment o a longtimepassion the exploration o a space

g s as -mts but w a-ssb ad d a arrat,

h sad.Osborn participated in Arctic

Cr, a prgram skg t brgtogether creative practitioners oall types aboard an Arctic-boundss t rat a us whr artintersects science, architecture andactivism to engage in the centralissues our time, according to theprograms website. For 18 days, dur-

ing the months o September andOctober, Osborn journeyed with19 ellow participants representinga cross-section o visual, sound andperormance artists and writers. Te

vessel carried the artists rom thenorthernmost part o Norway to

Svalbard, an archipelago within theArt Cr.

Osbr, wh tahs asss tr mda ad sud art,decided to ocus his work in theicy expanses o Svalbard on cap-turing the place in the languageo sound and moving images. Arg thught as a hug saanomaly in its emptiness and oen

caught up in the abulous claims oa araway place, the Arctic neededth rsmtud t dsrd, Os-br sad.

But the contours o his projectonly took shape as the journey pro-

gressed. Without exact plans beore-hand, Osborn allowed the space toinspire and dene his work. Knownto take a minimalist approach toart, h sad h ddd t us the intense solitude and silence thatsurrounded him and shape a project

wthut aythg drat.He proceeded to record hours

sud watr, was, adambt s udg tstpsand voices rom other travelers,according to an article publishedon the Brown website. He plansto compile these materials into atwo-channel audio installation thatw b part a argr aud-dwork. Its not just quiet like youthink o here, like when you go intothe woods its really, really superqut, h sad.

One instance that shaped Os-brs pt th spa wasan exploration o an abandonedSoviet mining town that led tosurprising inspiration. We werewalking through there, people weretalking and suddenly you could hear

their voices bouncing o buildings,which is a totally normal thing tohear, but afer being in absolutequiet in the wilderness, it was ashk. It was uatura, h sad.

He also created a video record

o his journey, which he hopes to

dst t th mutha dcomponent o his installation. Hold-

g tru t hs mmast sty, ht th adsap spak r ts.

Tr ar a ths radgs how nature looks or how the natural

trra arud hr ks, h sado lands unlike the Arctic Circle.Pictorial history, visual history, alot o social history its all verycomplex. Teres a lot less o thathr.

Osbr dd t tak part thprogram on a whim. He has longharbrd a pass r th amst

vacuum-like quiet, the icy whiteness

o the arctic regions o the earth. Hehas always been ascinated by thealmost imaginary or abulous, as

he calls them, narratives associatedwth th spa.

One specic narrative associated

wth th Art s that th Ks-tr bradasts, a srs dsrp-tive broadcasts rst dispatched in1931 by Arthur Koestler, a writerwh w r th Art barda Zpp ad dsrbd what hsaw r th rad.

Inspired by the broadcasts, or atleast the idea o them whetherthey happened remains uncertain and the idea o sound being tiedto a space through radio, Osbornsought to bring his sound expertiseto the landscape and ll in the gapsthat Koestler could not rom the sky.

But th pr a art

expedition is more than simply do-ing what one comes to do. Alongwith his work, Osborn developeda strong camaraderie with his el-lows on board. Naturally, there wasconstant collaboration as everyonesought odder or their works romthrs bard.

Cultural connections werergd as w, r matm ds-usss ad quk-td sapsback to the warmth o the vessel.Te group comprised creative peo-p rm a r th wrd, hagrom areas like Palestine, Australia,aiwan, the Netherlands and theUtd Stats. A am wth wrk thr md, but thy wth asense o weathered solidarity, hesad.

Art-seekers can expect to seea lecture presentation o Osbornswork next spring and a galleryshowing o his work at the WheelerSchool next all. Tere is also thepssbty that hs staat wnd at least a temporary home inth Prry ad Marty Gra C-ter, as well as the chance that thetwo-channel installation will bebradast rad.

Whatever the case, Osborn said,I d t mak sur Im rady t

Long ago, in the era ater thedeaths o giants Notorious B.I.G.and upac, the hip-hop world was

West generally delivers the wit-

and sexy, went perectly with thechoreography. Cameron Donalds14 solo embodied the energy,conidence and diversity whichmade the piece so strong. Dy-namique a Quatre was also one oth w ps t us ts, whhaddd t th arty th p.

more current music and moves,prompting a very enthusiastic re-sponse rom the audience. Bad-maash members also perormed a

piece called ut-Adavu, puttinga modern twist on the traditionalIndian dance Bharatantyam. Withtechno music and black and silver

costumes, the perormance had auturistic eel to it that comple-mented the traditional style odag. h rsut was suaystriking, and the precision andthusasm th dars madth p a pwru .

A major theme othe piece appeared to mimic elec-trocution, with dancers writhingand jerking violently on the loor.hough a very impressive andcomplex piece, it was perhaps toointense or the audience to relate.

According to Siems, co-captain Katie Goddard 12 andHad Cah Sara Carr-M,

the team has improved each yearsince this years seniors began onthe team as irst-years in 2008.his upward trend culminatedin last years promising season,during which the team broke theschools previous records in thebalance beam, uneven bars and

all-around record. In addition tothese team accomplishments, anumber o individuals also brokerrds ad w awards.

It was just an incredible build-ing season, said Carver-Milne,wh s trg hr th saswth th tam ths yar.

Carver-Milne said missing Na-

But Carver-Milne said this ex-perience pushed the team to work

harder to get to Nationals thisyear. hey are more experienced.

hey are hungry. hey know whatthy a ah. hy s tirst hand. So theyll get there,sh sad.

he team also hopes to win

which they placed third l ast year.

We are right there. Its just a mat-tr puttg t tgthr thatday, C arr-M sad.

In order to achieve these goals,

the team has prioritized consis-ty ad hadg th prssuro meets. his is especially im-portant or the two new irst-yars, Da Hma 5 adAs Rubst 5, wh art usd t mptg at a tamlevel.

hey watch each other. heywont le t anything slide, Car ver-Milne said. hey are going tolisten to their bodies. hey aregoing to stay ocused and driven.

Injuries may pose a majorchallenge or the team, but thisyear, the team hopes a practiceschedule including more condi-tioning will prevent injuries rombeing as detrimental as in yearspast.
