Princeton \u00dcniversitesi\u2019ndeki ilk g\u00fcn\u00fcmd\u00fc. Kald\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z doktora \u00f6\u011frencisi yurdundaki ilk ak\u015fam yeme\u011fimde gelip kar\u015f\u0131ma oturmu\u015ftu. Masmavi, p\u00f6rtlek p\u00f6rtlek, sanki yuvalar\u0131ndan \u00e7\u0131kacakm\u0131\u015f gibi bakan, merakl\u0131, ak\u0131ll\u0131 ve saf g\u00f6zleri vard\u0131. \u0130pincecik sar\u0131\u015f\u0131n bir \u00e7ocuktu. Tuhaft\u0131, garipti, inat\u00e7\u0131yd\u0131, acayipti. Neler konu\u015fmu\u015ftuk? Ne anlatm\u0131\u015ft\u0131 bana? Detaylar\u0131n\u0131 hat\u0131rlam\u0131yorum.<\/p>\n

Ama hat\u0131rlad\u0131\u011f\u0131m, annesinin koyu bir H\u0131ristiyan, babas\u0131n\u0131n da k\u00f6t\u00fc davranan bir insan oldu\u011fu ve zor bir \u00e7ocukluk ya\u015fad\u0131\u011f\u0131yd\u0131. Zamanla annesi daha dindarla\u015fm\u0131\u015f, babas\u0131 ise daha az k\u00f6t\u00fc olmu\u015ftu. Tabii soramam\u0131\u015ft\u0131m. K\u00f6t\u00fc derken; fiziksel bask\u0131 m\u0131, cinsel taciz mi? Sorulmaz ki b\u00f6yle \u015feyler. Dinlersin sadece. Soramazs\u0131n. Kar\u015f\u0131ndaki b\u00f6yle \u00f6zel, b\u00f6yle zor bir konuda sana a\u00e7\u0131ld\u0131ysa, sa\u011fa sola da bakamazs\u0131n; oturur dinlersin.<\/p>\n

Ve \u015fimdi, bilimsel bir ziyaret i\u00e7in geldi\u011fim Princeton Institute for Advanced Study\u2019de eski bir yurt arkada\u015f\u0131ma rastlay\u0131p laflarken, tuhaf, garip ve acayip bir \u015fekilde kendisini \u00f6ld\u00fcrm\u00fc\u015f oldu\u011funu \u00f6\u011freniyordum. Daha 36 ya\u015f\u0131ndayken.<\/p>\n

Oysa ismini bile unuttu\u011fum halde, ne ona shower boy (du\u015f \u00e7ocu\u011fu)<\/strong> lakab\u0131n\u0131 takt\u0131ran skandallar\u0131n\u0131 unutabilirdim, ne de o p\u00f6rtlek g\u00f6zlerini.<\/p>\n

Bir de o zamanlar Amerikal\u0131lar\u0131n en \u00f6zellerini pat diye ortaya d\u00f6kme huylar\u0131n\u0131 bilmiyordum. Kol k\u0131r\u0131l\u0131r, yen i\u00e7inde kal\u0131rd\u0131 benim bildi\u011fim. K\u0131sacas\u0131 o ilk ak\u015fam y\u00fczlerce \u00f6\u011frenci aras\u0131nda, shower boy ile ba\u015f ba\u015fa, \u00e7ok derin konularda konu\u015furken bulmu\u015ftum kendimi.<\/p>\n

Plazma fizi\u011fi<\/strong> alan\u0131nda doktora yap\u0131yordu. D\u00fcnyan\u0131n en iyi teknik okullar\u0131ndan Kaliforniya Teknoloji Enstit\u00fcs\u00fc<\/strong>\u2019nden gelmi\u015fti Princeton\u2019a. Di\u011fer g\u00fcnlerde shower boy ile farkl\u0131 ortamlara d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fck.\u00a0 O ise g\u00fcndemden d\u00fc\u015fmedi.<\/p>\n

\u015e\u00f6yle ki, me\u011fer onun uzun du\u015f alma huyu varm\u0131\u015f. Uzun derken\u2026 ger\u00e7ekten uzun\u2026 2 saat, hatta daha fazla. Bu bilgi yurtta f\u0131s\u0131lt\u0131 gazetesiyle kulaktan kula\u011fa yay\u0131ld\u0131. Sabah 2 saat, ak\u015fam 2 saat. Baz\u0131 g\u00fcnler daha da uzun. Hepimizi bir merak sard\u0131. Fiziksel olarak bu kadar \u00e7ok du\u015f alabilmek m\u00fcmk\u00fcn m\u00fcyd\u00fc? Parmaklar\u0131 nas\u0131l p\u00f6rs\u00fcm\u00fcyordu?<\/p>\n

Kat arkada\u015flar\u0131n\u0131n g\u00f6zlemleri sonucu ortaya \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131 ki, fizik kitaplar\u0131n\u0131n hepsini plastikle kapl\u0131yordu. Du\u015f giri\u015findeki e\u015fya koyma bank\u0131na oturup kendisine buhar banyosu yap\u0131yor, banyo esnas\u0131nda da fizik, matematik \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yor, denklem \u00e7\u00f6z\u00fcyordu. Bununla da kalmay\u0131p o esnada d\u0131\u015f f\u0131r\u00e7alamak ya da lavaboyu kullanmak i\u00e7in i\u00e7eri giren kat arkada\u015flar\u0131yla \u201cG\u00fcn\u00fcn nas\u0131l ge\u00e7ti?\u201d muhabbeti yapmaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yordu. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc her kata 8 \u00f6\u011frenci, 8 \u00f6\u011frenciye de sadece 2 du\u015f ve 2 lavabo d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcyordu. Hem du\u015f ve lavabonun giri\u015fi ortakt\u0131.<\/p>\n

Benim kat\u0131m sadece k\u0131z \u00f6\u011frencilere tahsis edilmi\u015fti, ama onun kat\u0131 k\u0131z-erkek kar\u0131\u015f\u0131kt\u0131. Lakin Princeton\u2019da doktora yapan k\u0131z \u00f6\u011frenci say\u0131s\u0131 o kadar azd\u0131 ki, kar\u0131\u015f\u0131k kata sadece bir tek k\u0131z \u00f6\u011frenci d\u00fc\u015fm\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc. Frans\u0131z dili ve edebiyat\u0131nda doktora yapan, \u015fu anda da bir \u00fcniversitede profes\u00f6r olan ufak tefek Frans\u0131z k\u0131z, onun y\u00fcz\u00fcnden kat\u0131ndaki lavaboyu kullanamaz olmu\u015ftu. Zaten kat\u0131nda kimsecikler du\u015f alam\u0131yor, ba\u015fka katlara gitmek zorunda kal\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n

Yurtta beraber yap\u0131lan kahvalt\u0131larda, ak\u015fam yemeklerinde, e\u011flencelerde herkes onu konu\u015fur olmu\u015ftu. Yurttan at\u0131lmas\u0131 i\u00e7in imza topland\u0131, kampanyalar d\u00fczenlendi. Oysa babas\u0131 y\u00fcz\u00fcnden diyordum i\u00e7imden. Babas\u0131n\u0131n g\u00fcnahlar\u0131n\u0131 temizlemek i\u00e7in.<\/p>\n

\u00dcz\u00fcc\u00fc haberi \u00f6\u011frendikten sonra Google\u2019dan ara\u015ft\u0131rd\u0131m. Unuttu\u011fum ismi Ronald H. Stowell imi\u015f. Princeton\u2019dan sonra M\u0130T\u2019de doktora sonras\u0131 ara\u015ft\u0131rma yapmaya ba\u015flam\u0131\u015f. Her nas\u0131lsa \u00c7inli bir bilimkad\u0131n\u0131 ile evlenmi\u015f, bir de \u00e7ocu\u011fu olmu\u015f. Kar\u0131s\u0131 ve kaynanas\u0131 ile beraber ya\u015f\u0131yormu\u015f.\u00a0 Bir ak\u015fam kar\u0131s\u0131na sinirlenip kar\u0131s\u0131n\u0131n \u00fczerine s\u00fct kremas\u0131 at\u0131nca kar\u0131s\u0131 polis \u00e7a\u011f\u0131rm\u0131\u015f, polis de gelip Ron\u2019u tutuklam\u0131\u015f, yerel gazetelere d\u00fc\u015fm\u00fc\u015f.

Hem de kendisinden 6 y\u0131l kadar \u00f6nce intihar eden a\u011fabeyi ile hemen hemen ayn\u0131 g\u00fcnlerde.<\/p>\n

\u015eimdi geriye bak\u0131nca d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyorum da, belki de onu bu kadar me\u015fhur eden du\u015flar\u0131, Ron\u2019\u0131n birer yard\u0131m \u00e7\u0131\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131 idi. \u201cBana yard\u0131m edin.
