I came in, I walked around the building and went from office to office saying hello to everybody, trying to get a sense of the geography of the place, and then I came down, the Corporation members came in, they administered an oath of office. After that there was a reception, and after that, lunch. It was a marvelous day, and I think that I will long recall that day as one of the best during my time at Brown, because it was all fun. No tough decisions, no complaints from anybody   it was lovely. So you didn't have to decide what you were having for lunch? I did actually have to order. They took me to the Agawam Hunt Club. You know,  hunt club    I kept thinking, I was walking in, is this for hunters? But anyway, that s where they took me for lunch, and I ordered a Caesar salad, with chicken, and we had champagne afterwards. But no dessert. And then we dispersed and I came back to the office and I did a few things, but they were really token. Then I left early that day. So I had a great day.

And then I think I ll go back  cause you know my books are impossible. I don t have enough bookshelves in the house, and so that s the biggest problem. And I have to go back and organize the books because the movers brought them in in such a way that you just have to take them out of the boxes, and they re all in disarray. And so for someone who loves to acquire and read books this is, you know, the most important thing about the move. So I ve got to go back and reorganize all of my books. What do you like to read? What's your favorite book? I'm reading a book about Elizabeth I now. But I am continually in search of the perfect book about Elizabeth because I ve read a lot of them, and I always think that the latest one is going to be the definitive one and the best one, but it s perfectly awful. But I can t put it down. It s perfectly awful because it s one of these strange books, you know it s written by a Brit, who lapses into the most awful vernacular expressions, so you re reading this chapter about htdor England and all these people being beheaded and all the intrigue and so on, and suddenly there s a strange expression in the middle of it and it s jarring. But I think I ll plow through it anyway because I just love everything. And the book I read right before was a book on Henry VIII. So I just came back from London, and so I went shopping for books while I was in London. So what I like to read: I like French books, I like literature, of course, because that s everything, that s life, you know, literature. I typically read prose, novels, and I'm trying to go back and read poetry, and so I bought a lot of books of poetry this summer to try and go back and sort of restore my love for poetry because I used to be absolutely devoted to poetry, and then this novel thing took over, so I m trying to get back to that by reading a"></div></div><div ID="DIVL302" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="4"><div ID="DIVL303" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="4" LABEL="little at a time. And then I like public affairs, I like history, I like current events, and so I read contemporary things that are about the world that we live in and the problems that we face. And so I have a very broad interest. Iknowalotof writers and I have to read their stuff because you know when you know them they expect you to read it. Every time they show up they say,  Did you read my book yet?  and they always want you to read their book and offer your opinion. So a lot of book without alienating a friend or acquaintance. So there s a little bit of that too. Can you name-drop a little? I m not about to say which ones I'm trying to figure out how not to offend, no. I m not going to do that! Do you have any plans to teach French literature, or anything else? I d love to, but I don t know if the Corporation wants me to do that right away. Hopefully I would be able to teach a course in comparative literature, something in African and Caribbean literature, but that really depends on my schedule for the year. And I have a lot to do the first year, especially Do you plan to do any guest lectures? It s up in the air. I have to do a lot of speeches this year, because I m new and people are curious about what I m thinking of doing. So I have to spend a lot of time writing and trying to give some shape and coherence to what I see for Brown in the future. So that s going to take a good deal of time, and I m trying to focus on that first. After that, maybe, I ll be able to do some lectures, some classes. After a long period of time having an interim president and lot of projects put on hold, and no permanent president having to come up with a long-term vision for Brown, what are some of your immediate priorities? Well, the most important after a long period like this is governance, really. How do we feel about the institution that we re a part of? Do we believe that it serves us well, do we believe that it represents our interests appropriately, are we able to communicate with each other, do we feel a part of the decision-making process? What the place is for the people who participate in it every day is one of my biggest concerns. And so I m looking at fault lines, and thinking about ways to try and repair them because I think one of the best things about Brown, certainly that I ve heard from all of my career, is that it s just such a wonderful and special place for the people who are here. And part of what I m hearing during this interim period of time is how trust and mutual respect are in need of repair. So I want to work on that. In addition, I think that this long period of time has caused people to be conftised about the primary purposes in a sense of the University and I think it s necessary to try to restore some sure direction in terms of that. Brown is, first and foremost, a place of"></div></div><div ID="DIVL304" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="4"><div ID="DIVL305" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="4" LABEL="learning and inquiry, and that has to be focused on very intensely. I m concerned about two pieces of that in particular: first, faculty and whether or not they are adequately supported for the role that they have to play as leaders of this enterprise. Secondly, students and whether they are appropriately supported for this unique time in their lives. So obviously issues like financial aid come into play, questions of graduate student support, the problem of recruiting faculty, giving them research support Faculty salaries are extremely important, one of the most important things that we have to focus on. There are lots of projects that have been on the desk for a long time and we have to take them off and resolve them. But since you know there are so many things pending,"></div></div><div ID="DIVL306" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="16"><div ID="DIVL307" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="16" LABEL="it leaves people in a state of anxiety about the future. Everybody loves Brown, and it s normal for everybody to really care about whether or not things are getting done. And sometimes, the question of whether or not things get done is really a matter of the import of that and whether or not people are willing to take risks and make decisions, and part of my job   to push people along to the point where they can reach consensus about many of these items so we can move them along. So I hope that in my first year we ll be nailing down a lot of things that have been pending for a long time. I know you've only been here a few days, but do you have specific initiatives? A lot of people have been clamoring for need-blind admission, for example. I'm not prepared to say today what that s going to be. We are looking at   that s what I can say  financial aid as a big part of that. I would say that for me, I know that at Brown, the issue has been need blind. For me the issue is a lot broader than that. I always pose it in terms of what we can do to achieve the following things: We want to have the best university that we can, the best students, the best faculty, the best courses, the best resources available, because that s what Brown is about   it s about excellence in learning. So that s our goal. Now the question is how do we attain that? Well, fundamentally, we ought not to be saying that we only want to provide for people who can pay to come to Brown. There s something inherently illogical and corrupt about that. If you re a learning institution and you re about inquiry, you have to want the best minds. Period. And so you ve got to be able to provide resources to support the best students who can come to Brown. So to me, you have to start there. That has to be a given. Now there are much more interesting questions   that s just the start. As soon as you say that, you have to ask,  Now, what does that mean? How would you do that, and how would you do it most effectively?  So I think there are lots of aspects of this that I still want to talk to students about, and I don t think it will be protracted, but I think we ll go a long way toward getting some of this resolved this year. You've noted that Brown needs to focus on its own strengths instead of seeing itself in the shadow of other institutions. Yeah, I m really bored with that. What do you think those strengths are? Well, we ve got lots of them. I ve only been here a few days, but I walk across this campus, and I can really feel why people love it. There s something so wonderfully distinctive about it. I spent a lot of my career at Princeton, and you know you walk around the place and you know you have a vista here, and the pavestones are very neat and tidy, and of course you ve got colleges laid out and it s all very logical and so on, and that s not Brown."></div></div><div ID="DIVL308" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="16"><div ID="DIVL309" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="16" LABEL="Brown is surprising.

Secondly, I don t think we ve exploited nearly enough how this kind of environment can work at the graduate level very successfully. So I m very interested in exploring that as well. Because I think we h aven t looked at graduate education in this country for a very long time. We re using a model that is very old, and that works reasonably well, but the kind of innovation that Brown made in the undergraduate curriculum, it seems to me there s lots of room to do that at the graduate level. Nobody s done it yet. Why couldn t Brown try to do that? So I hope that Brown will be about continuing to push the envelope: and do innovative things. Look at human relations, value those relations, try to improve those relations. It wouldn't make me unhappy at all to imagine that Brown graduates will rule the world. They are superior people. That s what everybody says about Brown. Well, the thing about Brown is that yes, of course the students are smart but they re also good people. Nothing thrills me more than that, frankly.

Really, it s tragic, but it s happening, and it starts very early on. It doesn t just start in college. I think one of the things that we have to do to cope with this is to work with parents and with teachers in some of the lower grades to encourage young people to remain open to their choice of career for as long as possible. If you remain open to a choice of career for as long as possible this problem goes away because you are a generalist and you are going to take as many things as possible to learn about the world and to think about the things you might want to do in the world. But as soon as you decide, when you re 10 years old, that you know what your career is, you tend to be shaped in one direction toward that career. I didn t know what I wanted to do in life until I was forced to make a decision about a major. To me, every student should be forced to make a decision about a major because the longer you hold that option open, the more likely you are to study a great variety of things and I think that serves society well. I think it serves the civic attitude well. And one of the things that s happening very rapidly in this country is that we have a citizenry that is not very well versed in what s going on around them and the consequences of that for democracy, we know what that is. So to have people trained narrowly, unable to comprehend the complexity of things going on around them, either in politics or in culture or any number of different areas, is a very serious thing. Not that the way I learned was any better than the way young people learn today, but because I m concerned about the state of affairs in this country and the kinds of problems that are being revisited among children, as a result of our neglect of their education, that's why this is such a serious problem. Because every time we take art out of the schools   it s absolutely ignorant to think that removing art and music from the schools will have no consequence. It will have a consequence. The life that we live   that s all we get. And the quality of that life has everything to do with the way we see society around us. It has everything to do with our emotional health, our psychological health. And if we see the deterioration among human beings, some of that has to do with the narrowness of the experience that people are left with. And so, for my money, if I wanted to help society as quickly as I could, I would get as many of those things back into the elementary schools as I could.

How do we make sure at Brown that we can have an impact on the way teaching is seen? I think sometimes universities think that they don t have to deal with that kind of thing, that somebody else will do it. But not everybody s as smart as we are.

As for this context at this time, for Brown, what should we do with what we have? I can t say that, but what I do know is that what we do ought to arise out of a sense of commitment to the world around us, not to a sense of preserving what those of us lucky enough to be at Brown have. That s the most important thing to me. On &quot;60 Minutes&quot; you said that you were apprehensive. Do you still feel that way? Every day. Some part of every day. It happens at strange times. During the swearingin, I looked around and said to myself, Oh my God, what am I doing here, I could never do this. I woke up at 3 a.m. yesterday and I had a sense of deep panic about all the things that have to be done and whether or not I can get them done. Some part of us ought to always have that sense of awe about the world that we live in and the privilege diat we ve been given. And I never want to lose that. I get up every morning and I make up my bed, and people drink that s very strange, because they think,  You have people who do that why do you do that? Is there something wrong with you?  But when you become a president, where people are constandy flattering you and telling you that they will do things for you, you are in great danger for your soul. Very great danger.

So I get up and I make up my bed because my mother had to do that, and when I get up and I make up the bed and I clean up things that I do, that s my way of saying that I am profoundly connected to who I am as a human being, that I am not a thing. I am not a thing. I am not a commodity. I am just Ruth Simmons, who has to make up the bed in the morning.

Thirty-eight percent of those polled could not say whether Cianci is guilty or not, an uncertainty that is likely the result of a shortage of available information. The levying of a May gag order, which silences those involved in the trial, and the sealing of numerous court documents have made pretrial details scare. When he issued the gag order on May 15, Judge Ernest C. Torres wrote,  The need for this order arises from the intensive media coverage of this case.  He said the dissemination of information   especially before a jury has been chosen   would threaten  the integrity of the trial process.  Looking to lift some of the secrecy surrounding the case, the Providence Journal is pushing to make public a sealed 1999 FBI affidavit, which the Journal reports may be &quot;packed with details of corruption at Providence City Hall.  One chapter of the affidavit is reportedly titled  The Only Thing Cianci Worries About Is Money.  The defense, requesting the document remain sealed, said pretrial attention to what it calls a biased affidavit would make it difficult to hold a fair trial. But the charges in the 1999 affidavit are no longer under investigation, and Torres said he would submit a written ruling in a few weeks on whether the document will be made public. Despite the court s efforts to silence both sides, bits of information have leaked   and not without incident. A videotape in which Cianci co-defendant and former aid Frank Corrente allegedly accepted a bribe was obtained and repeatedly telecast by a local television station. A special prosecutor was named in late May to investigate how the tape got into the hands of Channel 10 s Jim Taricani, who has refused to name his source. And in June, a prosecutor   who denies leaking the tape to media   was suspended for 30 days and fined $500 for showing the same tape to family and friends.

Saraiva and Michael Solitro III, who were cleared of criminal wrongdoing, contend they mistook the off-duty, plain clothed, gun-wielding Young for a suspect. The defense responded to the lawsuit   filed by Young s mother, Leisa   on July 3, acknowledging that Saraiva and Solitro shot Young, but also producing 10 pages of refutations arguing that Young s actions alone led to his death. Young was at the scene of a fight outside Fidas restaurant last January and drew his pistol when a suspect showed a gun.

Tabitha Glavin told a grand jury that when officers realized they gunned down a colleague,  I knelt down and I started yelling at Cornel,  Don t give up, fight!  I kept yelling that.

The absence of athletic scholarships creates more of a relaxed environment, paving the way for other forms of motivation to take center stage. Ivy League athletes seem to be humble in contrast to their highly promoted counterparts. Because they re not receiving scholarships, you will rarely find them on a pedestal, standing tall with the belief that they are above their peers. A prime example was one of my close friends during my freshman year. Every time I asked him about his high school days, he would tell me that he did well, leaving it at that. I would later find out he was a two-time high school All-American in lacrosse and scored the most goals in his state s history, as well as the captain who also led his high school s hockey and soccer teams to the state championship.

In doing so, Gibbs turned down an opportunity to play in the United States for the Miami Fusion of Major League Soccer (MLS) for a chance to compete in a superior soccer league.  There were really three reasons why Cory chose to play in Germany,   said men s soccer coach Mike Noonan.  First, it allows him to play in one of the top leagues in the world. While the MLS is an evolving league, in the Bundesliga, Cory will compete against some of the best players in the world.  In fact, possibly the best club in the world plays in the Bundesliga: Bayern Munich. With world-class players like Oliver Kahn and Stefan Effenberg, Munich won the Champions League, the closest thing to a European Super Bowl, and finished atop ESPN s final world club standings. For Gibbs and St. Pauli, playing Munich two times this year will be no easy task.  Secondly, like many Brown students, Cory wanted to explore things outside the United States both culturally and socially,  Noonan said. &quot;Finally, it was a much better situation for him financially.  However, Noonan stressed that it was the opportunity to improve his skills rather than the monetary value of the contract that eventually led Gibbs to Germany. Experience in a league known for its high level of play will hopefully give Gibbs an edge in achieving his ultimate goal of playing for the United States National Team."></div></div><div ID="DIVL778" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="21"><div ID="DIVL779" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="21" LABEL="Before he can focus on the future, Gibbs first has to worry about the upcoming season.

To make room for the promoted teams, the three worst teams are relegated into a lower division. St. Pauli s first goal this season is to avoid relegation at the end of the season. Gibbs  ex-teammates are confident that the players on his new team will not be disappointed by his play.

At Brown, Gibbs amassed quite a collection of accolades. He was named the 2000 Ivy League Player of the Year and earned All-American Honors in leading the Bears to an undefeated Ivy League record and a trip to the Elite Eight in college soccer s NCAA tournament. With a former player in the Bundesliga and a magnificent season in the books, the Bears are making a name for themselves as a nationally recognized soccer power.

If you  use your ExtraCare card every time you shop at CVS  then you will  get automatic store sale prices, coupons and special offers on your favorite items all the time.  At the same time, CVS can use your ExtraCare Card to monitor and keep track of every single product you buy at any one of its thousands of nationwide locations. By the sixth time Jane Doe has used her Extra Care card, CVS has probably already compiled an in-depth profile on her, containing everything from estimated annual income to which months of the year she uses super absorbency tampons.

Like me, you ve probably walked around College Hill and wondered,  In spite of my (over) qualifications, do I deserve to be at Brown?  This thought owes not to insecurity but to a legitimate inquiry into who rightly deserves a place at Brown and whether you are one such person. It also has implications for just deserts in society as a whole. Let us first consider the mainstream American capitalist view: equality of opportunity. For adherents of this conception, life is a kind of race or sport; the job of the government is to maintain the oft-quoted &quot;level playing field  by preventing unfair discrimination such as racism or sexism and providing equal access to education. According to"></div></div><div ID="DIVL884" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="23"><div ID="DIVL885" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="23" LABEL="this view, differences in income or wealth are okay as long as everyone started out equal. Participants in the game of life succeed and fail based on their own merit, so we can congratulate the winner and scorn the loser. Economists would point out that a system that rewards success, whatever its cause, promotes allocative efficiency, which means that society s overall material output tends to be high. The motto of capitalism might well be,  to each unto his success. "></div></div><div ID="DIVL886" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="23"><div ID="DIVL887" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="23" LABEL="So we have a view that says you may well indeed deserve to be at Brown; you won your ticket.

There is something peculiar even if we assumed (and this is by no means the case) that everyone did have equal access to the resources; we find that in that extreme case, people will win based on their innate abilities. This follows from the premise; if the environment is made the same for everyone via the same opportunities, then what differs and therefore determines outcomes is genetic makeup. As the utilitarian philosopher Peter Singer explains,  Equality of opportunity is not an attractive ideal. It rewards the lucky, who inherit those abilities that allow them to pursue interesting and lucrative careers. It penalizes the unlucky, whose genes make it very hard for them to achieve similar success.

A society in which you"></div></div><div ID="DIVL892" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="23"><div ID="DIVL893" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="23" LABEL="got into Brown by being lucky, by inheriting traits that made you attractive to Brown, would not be a just society. Moreover, some people who try very hard will fail miserably for no fault of their own (but a fault of their makeup) and will suffer accordingly. For Singer, to take a step toward a just society, we must take a step toward socialism and away from maximum economic efficiency. Many with socialist views envision a society that rewards effort instead of luck:  to each unto his work. "></div></div><div ID="DIVL894" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="23"><div ID="DIVL895" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="23" LABEL="Accordingly, we would compensate people for trying. Already any economist will point out that this is difficult in practice; it s a lot easier to fake trying than it is to fake success. The possibility that some members of society would engage in  parasitism,  acting selfishly and cheating others, is inherent to any non-capitalist system It doesn t affect capitalism because in that system people are generally rewarded for acting selfishly. For the socialist, if you tried very hard, and put much effort into your Brown application and the years leading up to it, you would be here deservedly. Granted, this is not as flattering to you, as in this example you are not necessarily the smartest or best student, just the most  effortful  one. However, socialists fail to take their idea to the logical conclusion. They correctly point out that whatever your innate attributes are, they are outside of your control, and hence it is unfair to reward people based on what amounts to luck. But they ignore the fact that the amount of effort one puts into his work is also determined   no doubt heavily influenced by, if not preordained   by genes for personality traits and behavior. Nevertheless, it is possible to envision a system that eliminates almost all elements of luck, whether the chances of having skills or the odds of being an effortful person, although the system entails a great loss of efficiency. Communism, with its credo,  from each unto his ability, to each according to his need,  appears to be, in the words of a famous comedy troupe,  a meritorious achievement   a prodigious accomplishment. It s putrid!  Under communism, you deserve to be at Brown if you are among those who most need to be at Brown. Sounds great, but the parasitism problem that was a nuisance under socialism is crippling with communism. Whereas the socialist system maintained some degree of efficiency inasmuch as people who try at least have some likelihood of succeeding, the communist system has almost none. In fact, as conservative critics point out, rewarding needs is tantamount to rewarding failure. The above systems have at most an unsatisfying, superficial equality of opportunity that is so in name only. For capitalism and socialism, the problem lies in the rules that enable luck to enter the equation; for communism, the troubles lie in implementing a version in harmony with nature. So given that true equality of opportunity remains elusive, what is my position? In truth, I have yet to extricate myself from the dilemma, finding myself torn between nihilism and welfare capitalism. If we live in a generally predetermined universe, no one deserves credit or blame for anything, so any system is just as arbitrary. If this is so, why not pick the system that makes the most overall wealth, remembering that it cannot be perfectly fair? At the very least, there is a lesson in this; We should be loathe to make great changes when they may all be for naught."></div></div><div ID="DIVL896" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="23"><div ID="DIVL897" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="23" LABEL="An avid debater, Brett Cohen '02.5 welcomes e-mail about his columns.

Kayex passes his fingers over the door carefully. He is about to venture into the secret sixth floor of Keeney Quadrangle. The secret space   accessible only by removing a tile from the fifth floor ceiling, climbing up the wall and crawling through a hatch usually covered by the ceiling tile   has served as a secret getaway for select students for several years. Some 40 feet long and 30 feet wide, the space sits above three double rooms on Keeney's fifth floor. Students, many of them residents of the fifth floor, have passed on the secret of the room's existence for several years. After Kayex has taken down another tile, there is enough room for him to fit through. He pushes the door open, shimmies up the wall and hoists himself through the hole. Kayex switches on the light. The large room is eerily lit.The night slithers through two windows. He tries to replace a broken windowpane while it rains steadily outside. Kayex and his roommate discovered the sixth floor after they heard noises in their hall late one night. Sophomores living on the fifth floor of Keeney Quad, they saw a former senior descending from the ceiling. Apparently, the secret has been passed down through the years   a select few (mainly those who live or have lived in that area of Keeney) know about the location. &quot;When I first came here it was empty,&quot; said Kayex. Now, chalk figures and names cover the brick walls. A mattress falls sloppily off a bed frame in the corner.There are a couple of beer cans lying around. Parts of the floor have been painted over. Even though the room now has traces of human touch, it still retains its magical, eerie feeling. Strings of metal hang from the slanted ceilings, light reflecting from the aluminum panels. If you turn off the lights, it is possible to see the Providence skyline. It is the perfect place for introspection   silent, barely touched. The sixth floor is also ideal for parties. For example, last semester a mass e-mail was sent out to friends of the people who knew about the Keeney secret. According to Kayex, there were about fifty people there. Someone had handed up a large screen and projector, as well as a stereo and a hammock. &quot;It was definitely the coolest party I have been to,&quot; one partygoer recalled. Jackie Feke '03 was also taken with the sixth floor. &quot;I was hanging out in the hall when some of my friends came and showed me where it was,&quot; she said. &quot;It was really cool because we didn't know that it existed.&quot; The administration has doubts about this &quot;secret&quot; sixth floor. According to Jim Coen, director of maintenance and service operations, &quot;There are mechanical spaces on the Fifth floor.&quot; But &quot;no building in Keeney has sixth floors or secret spaces.&quot; Assistant Director of Residential LifeThomas Forsberg agreed. &quot;There is no sixth floor of Keeney Quad, secret or otherwise,&quot; he said. &quot;There may be attic or crawl space for mechanical purposes in many of our buildings.&quot;"></div></div><div ID="DIVL1119" TYPE="PARAGRAPH" ORDER="29"><div ID="DIVL1120" TYPE="TEXT" ORDER="29" LABEL="Whether this space is a &quot;secret sixth floor&quot; or not, it is clearly sacred.

If there is one characteristic that defines him above all others, however, it is his mop-top head of mangy, though admittedly well groomed, shiny black hair. Make no mistake about it: it's the hair that's earned Koizumi his image as a cultural rogue. &quot;His wavy long hair symbolizes his bracing nonconformism,&quot; wrote the Washington Post, remarking upon Koizumi's alternative appearance. Indeed, national and international observers from Tokyo to New York have been hard pressed to comment on Koizumi's rise to power without making mention of his most defining and noticeable physical characteristic. It's no mystery why. From Che Guevara to Allen Iverson, long hair is still associated today, as it has been in the past, with revolutionary dissidence of epic proportions. A mangy mop is now identified not simply as an indicator of a fertile scalp and eager follicles; in lengthy locks, we have come to fear the threat of irreverence and discontent.

Brown has facilities unique in the New England area, including the Northeast Regional Planetary Data Center ( a data library of all US Space Mission photographs, maps, and related materials; see below) and Brown's Ladd Observatory. The Fi Space Grant Program's goals are to encourage undergraduate students to explore science as a career, to enable graduate students to explore science as a career, to enable graduate students to pursue an education in science, and to use space-related science as an outreach activity to increase scientific literacy among the educators and children of Rhode Island. Our strategy is to excite both the givers (the scholars and fellows) and the receivers (the RI K-12 teachers and students) through sharing research experiences in face-to-face discussion s in the classroom. .C iL Dorcas E.
