Potential rule under discussion

All fraternities could be required to have permanent “live-in advisors” if a proposed portion of the University’s overhaul of the Greek system — aimed to eliminate dangerous pledging processes — is implemented.

The potential new rule — which administrators and students emphasized is still in its early preliminary stages and in no way has been decided upon — would amend a previous proposal to install live-in advisors at only “at-risk” fraternity chapters, or those considered to have demonstrated poor decision-making in areas such as recruitment, alcohol use or financial stability.

Over the next few weeks, administrators will determine whether or not to include that policy in the final recommendations that will be submitted to President David Skorton for approval, according to Susan Murphy ’73 Ph.D. ’94, vice president of student and academic services.

The proposal to mandate live-in advisors for at-risk chapters was put forth in May by the Recruitment, Acceptance, Retention and Education committee as one aspect of a comprehensive plan to restructure the Greek system.

A Cornell professor apologized to his students two weeks ago after he showed a slide of “rape prevention tips” during lecture on Sept. 5. Although he said the tips were intended to be satirical, in the wake of two reported sexual assaults on or near campus, students expressed mixed feelings about their content.

The incident broadly resonates on a campus-wide and national level about the appropriate means of public discourse regarding rape. Student protesters have, for instance, recently demanded that the University create mandatory sexual violence training for all faculty and staff, and several politicians have been recently embroiled in scandals for their comments about rape.

Emphasizing the need to join a technological revolution in higher education, faculty from other universities urged their peers at Cornell to introduce the University to MOOCs, or massive open online courses, at a forum Thursday.

Although the University currently administers online courses for working professionals through its eCornell program, it has yet to offer MOOCs — courses open to the public, often for free, that have already attracted hundreds of thousands of students on websites owned by top institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University.

In the last few years, “leading faculty” at these universities have increasingly latched onto MOOCs — and Cornell “must” consider whether or not it wants to use them, too, said Prof. Eva Tardos, computer science, senior associate dean of the Computing and Information Science unit.

In the face of the courses’ rapid growth, it is time for Cornell to consider what role it wants MOOCs to play on its campus, Tardos said.

“Whatever you think, I strongly believe that the revolution is happening in education, and if you don’t think about it or participate in it, that’s too bad for

Student Organizations Plan Inaugural Sex Week

Fashionably dressed

Leaders hope week will aid dialogue about sex issues

By ERICA AUGENSTEIN Sun Staff Writer

Following several universities across the country, Cornell will be holding Sex Week this spring –– a weeklong celebration organizers hope will serve as a means to address sexual issues on campus.

“What we’ll do is a campuswide series of events that help people to explore their own sexuality and the sexuality of other students on campus,” said Shuangyi Hou ’14, president of the Every1 campaign, which advocates for victims fo sexual assaults. “It will be a full week of event, different events that appeal to every single type of person at Cornell. It requires a really open and collaborative process.”

Hou said one of the primary aims of Sex Week is to provide a forum to address the sex-related concerns of various groups on campus. Several Cornell officials and student leaders of campus advocacy groups expressed their support for the event, which they said will provide an opportunity to address some of these issues through University-wide, all-inclusive programming.

For instance, Rachael Blumenthal ’13, a member of the Sex Week steering committee, said the recent string of reported sexual attacks on or near campus created a need that she said can be met by Sex Week.

“There must be a discussion:

What is sex? What are the implications? It’s about understanding consent and respect having to do with sexual intercourse,” said Blumenthal, who is a member of Consent Ed, a group that seeks to educate student groups on campus about sexual assault prevention.

Laura Weiss, director of the Women’s Resource Center, agreed that the recent events have sparked what she said is an important conversation to have on a college campus. She said she is “really happy to see so much conversation happening around sexual violence at Cornell.”

Weiss added that the Women’s Resource Center has the resources to provide support to the Every1 campaign and other groups who are involved in the planning of Sex Week.

“Different programs within the Women’s Resource Center would definitely have ideas and recommendations that they could make.

The center has a large [capacity for] programming,” Weiss said. “I would love to see students involved with the center weighing in on sex week.”

Officials at Gannett Health Services have also expressed interest in helping the development of programming for Sex Week.

“We would be energetic participants in a Sex Week designed to be a catalyst for meaningful education,” said Sharon Dittman, associate director of community relations

for Gannett.

Student leaders from several LGBT groups on campus said they also hope to make their voices heard in shaping the culture of a Sex Week at Cornell.

Emily Bick ’13, president of Haven — Cornell’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender student union — said she would like to plan Haven events that are already popular to coincide with Sex Week.

“There are two programs that we already run that are fairly wellknown: Filthy Gorges, an annual dance with a sex-positive theme; and a sex toy party, where two Babeland representatives come and talk about sex toys,” Bick said.

Babeland is a company that sells sex toys and sexual education mate-

rials, according to its website.

Hou said she envisions Cornell Sex Week as a combination of fun and serious education about sexual health and safety. She cited “workshops on sexual pleasure,” such as ones organized by the I Heart Female Orgasm campaign, as possible events.

Hou said the upcoming Cornell Sex Week is the product of several months of brainstorming and collaboration between Every1 and other student organizations. In the spring, members of the Student Assembly encouraged the groups to pursue the event, she said.

Sex Week is still in its preliminary planning phase, according to Hou. “What the steering committee

will try to do is to decide the general themes [for the week],” Hou said. “We also want individual [student] groups to have a lot of impact.”

Hou said the major hurdle still to consider in organizing Sex Week is how to finance the project, which she said she hopes will manifest as a “very large, very expensive event.”

The Every1 campaign “is in the lowest tier for [Student Assembly Finance Commission] funding.

Sex Week facilitators and other [student groups] are going to need to help us out,” Hou said. “We can’t do it alone.”

Architectural Tour of West Campus Yields Lessons in University History

Profs: Online Course Offerings Could Create ‘Smarter’ Learning MOOCS

Continued from page 1

us,” Tardos said. “I don’t know what theoutcome of this revolution will be, but I certainly want to explore it.”

Though she conceded that it is still unclear exactly how MOOCs could change on-campus learning, Tardos said she sees the potential for Cornell to use them to help expand access to education worldwide.

“It aligns very well with the University’s educational mission,” Tardos said. “What these courses do is educate people who may not have the means or ability to come to campus. They might not have the ability because they’re high school kids … or because they’re far away in China or India … [but] these courses can [be accessed by] a lot of people we don’t reach.”

The benefits of MOOCs were further touted by professors from MIT and Stanford University, where MOOC lectures have already taught thousands of students everything from chemistry to cryptography online.

Prof. Anant Agarwal, engineering and computer science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, talked to Cornell faculty via a video call that was delayed by technological issues. For five minutes, Agarwal could not be heard, although his face was visible on the screen.

“This is not a good start to venturing into technology,” said one professor in the crowd.

But finally, technological issues resolved, Agarwal joked, “It’s great when online technology works.”

Agarwal said that cutting-edge technology offered through MOOCs could improve the quality of education. He said courses offered online through MIT and Harvard joint venture edX — one of the platforms on which Cornell could offer online courses to the public for free in the future — have already begun to benefit conventional on-campus courses at MIT. For instance, he said, a student working on an assignment at 3 a.m. can ask a question and receive a “near-instant response” from a peer on edX’s worldwide forum for his

or her class, rather than having to wait until the next morning for a response from the professor.

By moving some courses entirely online, campuses can also provide free online textbooks to their students, give students instant feedback on assignments and allow them to collaborate with their peers through “virtual laboratories,” Agarwal said.

In fact, online courses have proven so effective, Agarwal said, that in one survey, two-thirds of students said that they preferred watching and learning from online video over attending traditional lectures.

Like Agarwal, Prof. Daphne Koller, computer science, Stanford University, vouched for the potentially transformative effects of online courses.

By being able to answer each others’ questions on forums, students can also collaborate with hundreds of thousands of peers across the globe, Koller said, presenting opportunities for universities to harness the power of social learning.

The capacity to take advantage of peers sharing ideas — otherwise known as social learning — is a “game-changer” in revolutionizing higher education, said Chris Proulx, CEO of eCornell.

“Online learning has already been doing a lot with social learning. The difference is when you now start to do that across tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of students for the construction of peer knowledge,” Proulx said. “Courses themselves become smarter when you make tools and capabilities to take advantage of social learning.”

If and when MOOCs become a reality at Cornell, however, it is up to the faculty to direct the role they play in the classroom, administrators said.

“We faculty can and must be participating in these discussions,” said Dean of Faculty Prof. Joe Burns Ph.D. ’66, astronomy. “[Provost Kent] Fuchs has a lot of interest in this … but he said he needs to know what we want him to do.”

Prof Apologizes for Use of Humor to Tackle Subject of Rape TIPS

Continued from page 1

Prof. Breton Bienvenue, psychology, said he had wanted to use humor to diffuse tensions on campus following multiple reported sexual assaults over Labor Day weekend.

The 10 “Rape Prevention Tips” — pulled from the website canyourelate.org, which is run by the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence — were greeted by overwhelming laughter when Bienvenue presented them to the more than 200 students in his Introduction to Cognitive Science class, according to students.

Excerpts from the list include “tips” such as, “If you are in an elevator and a woman gets in, don’t rape her” and “Carry a rape whistle. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.”

The final “tip” reads: “When asking a woman out on a date, don’t pretend that you are interested in her as a person; tell her straight up that you expect to be raping her later. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the woman may take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape her.”

Noting that the list was not actually created by the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Kelly Starr, a staff member for the organization, said that the list was intended to provoke thought, not laughter.

“Sexual assault and rape is not a joke,” Starr said. “The intent with this list is to challenge the way we think about these kinds of crimes, and to shift from a culture that focuses on blaming victims to one that focuses on preventing violence in the first place and holds perpetrators accountable.”

Bienvenue, however, may have omitted the context with which Starr said the fake rape prevention tips are supposed to be presented.

Though he said he spoke in class

The Corne¬

about how society needs to focus on the perpetrators of sexual violence rather than the victims, some students may not have heard because the class is large and many students were laughing, he said.

Bienvenue emphasized that he did not display the satirical “rape prevention tips” in order to upset make light of rape.

“It’s not that rape is funny and we should treat it as a laughing matter,” Bienvenue said. “It obviously wasn’t my intent to be insensitive or treat rape as a humorous subject.”

Instead, he said, the comedic elements of the slide were intended to provide students with another way of grappling with the sensitive issue.

“I do think humor is a way to deal with horrifying situations. It’s obviously a disturbing subject and humor for me is a way to interact with the subject,” he said. “My intent was to use the humor of the slide to point out an incongruity: that rape is often presented as up to the victim to prevent. Instead we need to address the role of the perpetrator.”

Still, some students said Bienvenue’s presentation did not include background information crucial for understanding the purpose of the list.

Parry Cadwallader ’13, a student in Bienvenue’s class, said Bienvenue wrongly treated a violent and traumatic crime in a dismissive manner.

“He put up this list of 10 rather unhelpful ways of preventing rape and brushed over completely that a girl had just been raped less than 100 feet from where the class was taking place,” Cadwallader said.

In contrast, Shane Kalb ’15 saw Bienvenue’s presentation of the “Rape Prevention Tips” as a statement. Kalb described Bienvenue’s action as a “bold move,” explaining that “[rape] is a really sensitive issue — humor like that disempowers something that evokes fear, and that’s really important … it was comforting to hear the issue addressed in a way other than the ominous emails that came in the middle of the night, just to hear something else.”

Devon Horton ’15, however, said she did not understand

Bienvenue’s reasons for presenting such material in class.

“I thought it was weird, kind of bizarre,” Horton said. “I don’t think he had any place in saying anything — it’s not something we cover in class.”

Bienvenue said he apologized for approaching such a sensitive issue without considering the full consequences and impact of his words. He also provided an anonymous channel online through which students could provide feedback on the issue directly to him.

Several students had done so and had been understanding, he said.

Nina Cummings, Cornell’s victim advocate and a health educator at Gannett Health Services, said that if professors decide to talk about current on-campus issues — such as the reported sexual assaults over Labor Day Weekend — in the classroom, they should consider that individuals in the class could be particularly sensitive to a particular issue.

“How do they want to address it — what’s their goal in bringing it up in class? Is it to have resources available? Is it to try to connect

more closely to students in the class? Is it related to the academic work of the class?” Cummings said. “If a faculty member is going to raise it, at the same time they may want to think ahead.”

Cummings also noted that although nothing prohibits faculty members from responding to campus crises, the University administration ultimately takes responsibility for addressing on-campus issues such as sexual assault.

She added that despite the temptation to use humor to dissipate what may be a tense on-campus environment, rape is never an appropriate topic of humor.

“I think it minimizes the severity of the experience and shows an insensitivity. I think it’s an easy way for people to dismiss the numbers, if you make fun of it,” Cummings said. “I would say rape is a serious issue that too many women and many men experience.

Efforts at addressing it should always be handled sensitively and carefully.”

Greek Chapters May Face Mandatory Live-In Advisor RARE

Sanders said mandatory live-in advisors for all chapters was “not endorsed by RARE,” and that Greek leaders “will continue to give our input and to say that we don’t necessarily think it’s the best way.”

Still, some Greek council representatives and chapter officers said they were open to considering livein advisors.

Alan Workman ’13, executive vice president for IFC, said that if the system-wide provision for advisors is included in the final proposal, IFC will continue to work with RARE and the administration to help fraternities maintain self-governance.

“A lot of the initial reaction surrounding the advisors has been negative. But I don’t think it’s warranted,” Workman said. “This is a multi-year implementation program, and it will be phased in slowly. Having an older presence in the house is not necessarily meant for punishment, but to steer the chapter in the right direction.”

Workman also noted that several fraternities have had live-in advisors for years.

Adam Davis ’14, academic chair of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, said his chapter has benefited from housing an advisor.

The group presented its preliminary recommendations in a webinar to alumni in May. Since then, the committee has solicited input from administrators, alumni and students to finalize their proposed changes before they are submitted to Skorton for final approval, according to IFC President Chris Sanders ’13.

Now, the possibility of the livein advisor provision being mandatory for all chapters across the Greek system is “definitely on the table,” Sanders said.

On Sunday, the Fraternity and Sorority Advisory Council, which reports to Murphy, Apgar and other administrators on Greek system policy planning, suggested that RARE expand the provision to apply to all chapters, according to Sanders.

Live-in advisors are “definitely something that Susan Murphy is considering, but I don’t know the extent of what the likelihood is of it happening. It’s very much a consideration,” he said.

Sanders said Thursday that he does not personally endorse a system-wide requirement.

CUPD is investigating an attempted rape that reportedly occurred on the Trolley Bridge –– which connects Oak Avenue and the Engineering Quad –– at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. A female victim said she was grabbed by an unknown male while she was walking across the bridge. The assailant then reportedly dragged the victim into a wooded area south of the bridge while making repeated threats that he was going to rape her, according to CUPD. The victim said she struggled against her attacker until she was able to strike him in the face and then flee, according to CUPD. She did not report any injuries.

The perpetrator is described as a white male, about six feet tall, with dark hair. He “appeared to be in his late 30s and was last seen wearing a dark suit jacket with light colored pants,” according to CUPD. After the attack, the male fled in an unknown direction, CUPD reported.

On the morning of Sept. 2, another female victim reported that she was accosted and raped near the Suspension Bridge, north of the Arts Quad. She said she was grabbed from behind by an unknown male who forced her to have sexual intercourse, according to police.

Additionally, 30 minutes before the reported rape on Sept. 2, a different female victim reported that she was forcibly touched in her Collegetown home, according to the Ithaca Police Department. The University said a third female victim reported being forcibly touched the same day while walking through the Hughes parking lot early in the morning.

CUPD –– which is still investigating the reported crimes –– urged students to consider increased personal safety measures in the aftermath of the attacks.

“Due to the increased level of criminal activity … we are strongly urging members of the Cornell community to take prudent and necessary safety precautions, including: locking your doors and windows at all times [and] using alternative methods of transportation, such as Blue Light escorts, Blue Light buses, taxis,” CUPD said in a Sept. 2 press release.

At Thursday’s Student Assembly meeting, President David Skorton echoed these sentiments. “[It’s] important to have security in your place of dwelling. It’s important to not walk around alone on a college campus at odd hours if it’s possible not to do it,” Skorton said. “It may be distasteful for you. It may be frustrating. It may make you angry, but nonetheless, it’s still part of a pretty wise bit of advice because unfortunately, on many college campuses, the risk of sexual assault is large.”

Geoffrey Block ’14, at-large representative for the S.A., said that the University needs to undertake more proactive efforts to ensure student safety.

“Right now, students don’t feel safe on this campus. I can’t tell you the number of Facebook statuses and Tweets and things like that I’ve seen today about students very concerned about yet another [sexual assault] on this campus,” Block said. “Students really want to see action taken.

Students really want ... an increase in patrols.”

Garrison Lovely ’16, a freshman representative for the S.A., also argued that the Blue Light phone in particular can be ineffective as a safety initiative.

The phone service ending at 2:30 a.m. “basically just gives any potential rapist a window when they know that nobody is going to be [going] home safely,” he said.

Still, Zoner maintained that Cornell police are working to keep students safe on campus and said that CUPD plans to “do more of the same.”

“We’ve made significant progress toward …. increasing awareness of these issues and educating people who are not as knowledgeable,” she said.

CUPD urges anyone with information about the recent sexual crimes to call its headquarters at 607-255-1111.

Presidential Hopefuls Debate Over Economy VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — President Barack Obama pledged to create many more jobs and “make the middle class secure again” in a campaign-closing appeal on Thursday — more than five weeks before Election Day — to voters already casting ballots in large numbers.

Republican Mitt Romney, focusing on threats beyond American shores, accused the commander in chief of backing dangerous cuts in defense spending.

“The idea of cutting our military is unthinkable and devastating.

And when I become president we will not,” declared the challenger, struggling to reverse a slide in opinion polls.

Romney and Obama campaigned a few hundred miles apart in Virginia, 40 days before their long race ends. They’ll be in much closer quarters next Wednesday in Denver — for the first of three presidential debates on the campaign calendar and perhaps the challenger's best remaining chance to change the trajectory of the campaign.

Heroes & Villains

Get It Together, Cornell This week, the VILLAINOUS random campus pooper was at it again. Last year, he terrorized chairs in McGraw Hall. Now, he is terrorizing Barton Hall bleachers.

Where will he strike next? Next time you want to pop a squat anywhere on campus, make sure you look before you sit.

In related news, the HEROIC Red took a giant poop on VILLAINOUS Yale during the Homecoming game, defeating them 45-6. The Big Red’s stands were HEROICALLY filled and actually excited about watching football for all of five minutes before the rain started pouring down on everyone. Thankfully, no one pooped in the bleachers.

After the game, many alumni flooded to Collegetown for bars and revelry. The bars were filled with old alumni reliving their HEROIC days as Cornell undergraduates. All the old alumni showed up at the early hour of 10 p.m. while current students were VILLAINOUSLY “drinking vodka sodas or a peach-flavored Champagne called André and refusing to head out until they have captured the perfect photo,” according to the HEROIC New York Times. Even though they managed to quote six fake Cornell seniors, they are still HEROES in our book (please hire us! We are good at quoting fake people, we swear!).

While all this debauchery was happening all around us, the Cornell police decided to go after the biggest threat on campus: the VILLAINOUS jaywalkers. Each year, these VILLAINS cause incalculable amounts of harm on campus by making us HEROIC drivers wait an extra thirty seconds at the light on Ho Plaza. It’s a good thing that these HEROIC officers were able to put a stop to this lawlessness.

All of this madness is becoming VILLAINOUSLY tiring. Thankfully, Cornell is considering changes to Greek system policies that may require all chapters to have live-in advisors a.k.a house dads. We hope that this new policy will help control the outbreak of jaywalkers. It is high time that we had a HEROIC father figure to hold our hands while we cross the street. Now, we just need our VILLAINOUS professors to finally let us take naps in class.

CORRECTION Due to incorrect information provided to The Sun, a news story Wednesday, “Four Recent Cornell Alumni Join Start-Ups Through Venture for America Program,” incorrectly stated the acceptance rate of and information about the prize award by the Venture for America program. The acceptance rate for the program was 10 percent, not one percent, and its $100,000 prize may be awarded to multiple fellows, not just one fellow.

Healthcare for All

have had the pleasure of getting to know Ms. Daniels** over the past eight months.

She is a jolly 64-year-old woman with a round face and a kind smile. At appointments she remains pleasant, always — even when informing me about the pain her bunions cause her daily.

One day, Ms. Daniels called and left a voicemail on the clinic phone line: “Hello, this is Samantha Daniels. I’ve started feeling this fluttering in my chest and it feels kind of like what happened to me about ten years ago. I seem to be having a bit of trouble breathing when the fluttering happens. I’d like to make an appointment when you get the chance. Thank you.” Though Ms. Daniels spoke as calmly as usual, her inflection suggested something new, disquieting.

These words concerned me enough to call her back immediately.

She told me about going to the pharmacy down the street from her house to get a blood pressure check.

“The machine must be broken,” she said, “Sometimes it says my heart rate is in the 80s and other times it says 150s.”

When she came into the office she told me about the chest pain that started just a day-or-two before. We used an electrocardiogram to examine her heart’s electrical rhythm, and diagnosed an atrial flutter. Atrial flutter is a dangerous condition, especially in combination with chest pain and shortness of breath. As the heart pumps blood throughout the body, electrical signals initiate each beat. When the signal travels down abnormal pathways, the heart “flutters,” or pumps shallowly and quickly. Sometimes it moves so quickly that it can’t properly refill between beats. Rarely, the heartbeat degenerates into extreme irregularity, and the heart just stops.

With these serious risks in mind, we sent Ms. Daniels on to the hospital.

Right after the hospitalization, I called Ms. Daniels to check in. Joy and amazement permeated her voice, as she informed me that

all the symptoms from the previous week were gone. Even more so, while she had been waking up late for the weeks before she went into the hospital, now she was suddenly waking up at 5:00 a.m., ready for the day. Luckily we caught her condition early, and she is now fully cured.

What makes this story unique is that the patient was seen at the Weill Cornell Community Clinic (WCCC), the medical student run clinic for the uninsured. This patient is not just any woman. She is a welleducated woman laid-off from her job on the cusp of retirement. She came to our clinic because she could not afford insurance for the nine months between losing her job and turning sixty-five, when Medicare will accept her. In that absence though, we students, with the help of incredible volunteer physi-

Mahala Schlagman What’s Up, Doc? cians, protected her from harm; we diagnosed, we brought her to treatment and we followed up afterward. The WCCC, located in Manhattan, sees approximately 300 uninsured patients per year. In an average week we see a middle-aged woman with diabetes who is self-employed and cannot afford the cost of insurance; a man who lost his job and has heart disease; and a student who needs asthma medication. We grant each of these people access to health care with dignity and integrity. **Details about the patient have been changed to protect her identity.

Mahala Schlagman is in her final year at Weill Cornell Medical College. She may be reached at mms2009@med.cornell.edu. What’s Up, Doc? appears alternate Fridays this semester.

Letters

A response from an activist To the Editor: Re: “Editorial: The Hypocrisy of Scorpions X,” Sept. 24 We became leaders of the LGBTQ Community for a reason. Like many, we struggled to find confidants who we could trust that might understand the tension between who we are and who society says we can be. In many cases, we found ourselves actively altering our gender expressions to appear heterosexual — both for personal safety and emotional security. Our performed mannerisms, our gait, our words and our early (non)sexual experiences (regardless of whether we wanted those experiences) all reflected an intricate, painstakingly maintained façade. And then we came out. Moreover, we took the initiative to fight for a more open and inclusive university.

For us, Cornell offered an opportunity to learn how to accept ourselves and find our place within the larger community. While we realize that there are still many students on campus for whom coming out is not an option, we are striving to provide these students with the resources and opportunities to feel comfortable in their own skin. We understand that even within the LGBTQ community, oppression takes many forms. We do not pretend that all of our experiences with marginalization are the same.

Our campus has many strengths. We have access to top notch resources: strong LGBTQfriendly administrative policies, a number of safe spaces and support groups, trans-inclusive health insurance and generous funding for LGBTQ events (many of which focus on intersectional identity). That being said, our campus has a very long way to go. Many instances of bias and discomfort still exist for students. Even within our community, a social hierarchy exists in which certain identities have greater access to privilege than others. Queer people of color in particular face numerous forms of oppression regarding their intersecting identities within their respective social identity based communities. Although we know that our experience is not everyone’s, we are here and active and present as leaders on campus because we still believe that we have the continuous ability to effect change.

And there has been tangible change on campus. For example, Haven — the LGBTQ student union — has been incredibly active on campus, organizing many awareness events, such as Coming Out Day, proposing and co-sponsoring administrative initiatives.

But substantive change must come from all of us. Come out as an ally for your friends and those who need visible support from this caring community. Come out in support of LGBTQ partner benefits in the military. Come out in favor of gay marriage marriage equality. Stop your friend the next time he or she uses hateful speech. Never assume you know someone’s orientation or identity. Try to promote discussions across identities and within identity based groups. Only by doing so can we truly make strides in our shared dream for a more open and inclusive Cornell University.

Last Call for Legitimate Journalism

oday I’m going to take a step away from my usual academic-life in vet school theme to write about Courtney Rubin’s New York Times article about college bars that made a little splash late Wednesday night. I’m taking off my vet-student cap for the first part of this article and writing from the perspective of a 2011 Cornell alumna.

First, let’s talk about the fact-checking failure (first reported by the blog IvyGate). I was a news staff writer for The Sun for all four years of undergrad, and the concept of fact-checking was drilled into my head from the very beginning. People get angry when you spell their name wrong or misquote them or misrepresent their organization, because even if you’re just spending an hour writing about them, you’re often writing about topics that they’ve devoted their whole lives to.

They take what you write personally because it’s often also read by all of their peers; so if you’re going to write something contentious, the least you can do is make sure the facts are right. Then the editors serve as backup for further fact checking, but if there are any mistakes people will blame you and not the editors.

So the fact that Rubin, the photographer and the editors of the New York Times didn’t bother to fact check the names at least is puzzling to me. Looking up Cornell affiliated names is even easier than a Google search — all you have to do is enter the person’s name on cornell.edu. It’s true that students can opt out of being in the directory, but I’ve never actually run across someone who did and it would be highly suspicious if a whole group of people weren’t in it. Even if you didn’t know about the Cornell directory, just Googling the person’s name and the word “Cornell” should be sufficient. Try it with your own name (put your full name in quotes). Cornell students are go-getters and do things; by the time they’re seniors there is usually some record affiliating them with Cornell.

Fact checking aside, let’s talk about the topic of the article. The headline makes it sound like it’s about the demise of college bars. This is a valid topic, I suppose, although it surprises me that the Times thinks it’s important enough to devote an entire article to. It’s true that in our smartphone dominated world, you’re constantly connected to both your friends and strangers and don’t need to frequent bars as often to hang out. I think this was supposed to be the point of this article, but it’s lost in the derisive tone the author adopts

T

towards the college lifestyle. The not-so-subtle jibes at sorority girls with Hermés bracelets, 16 shot drinks (no mention that these are usually shared amongst a group of friends over a period of time) and the pre-gaming / hook-up culture seem to be the author venting frustration more than informing readers about anything at all.

I’ll take a minute to address the insults anyways. We’re led to believe that excessive drinking is something that college kids do irresponsibly for fun. I have several friends working in the corporate world, however, and it seems to me that once you graduate drinking becomes something that you’re expected to do in order to advance in your career. It’s not appropriate to criticize college drinking without offering alternatives especially when the “real world” can be even worse. It would have been appropriate to criticize underage drinking, but the author wasn’t even aware that this was an issue. As for the “meat markets”… How can you realistically expect thousands of 21 year olds to want to commit to serious monogamous relationships (because isn’t that the alternative?) when they don’t even know what state they’re going to be in eight months from now?

So, time for me to be a vet student again. You probably noticed that the main picture associated with the article states that it’s of two Cornell Veterinary students. I thought the article was about the undergraduate lifestyle? Did someone not realize that veterinary students are graduate students?

It’s like writing an article about elementary school and posting a picture of high school students.

The biggest issue I have with the picture though is that it implies that these students commonly participate in the activities that the author writes so vitriolically about. Even though I’ve already talked about how I don’t have a problem with the lifestyle, I would like to set the record straight and confirm that even if we want to relive our college years, vet school does not allow time for drinking and going out on a regular basis (if these were the things that were most impor-

tant to us we would have picked another career). We bemoan Ithaca’s lack of nightlife for grad students, but the truth of the matter is even if there were bars that were close and full of primarily grad students, we wouldn’t have time to go to them anyways.

I can tell you that those students were only at Level B that night because they had just completed a strenuous two day long exam. I can also tell you that they specifically asked (via email, even) that the pictures not be published. I know that the paper is not legally obligated to abide by their request, but these are not famous people who are used to having paparazzi post pictures of them (well, they’re not famous yet

Nikhita Parandekar Hoof in Mouth … in my completely humble opinion, Cornell vets often do great things). They’re hard-working graduate students who don’t need to have future employers find this when they’re applying for jobs in a couple of years.

I was disappointed in Rubin’s article because it’s the kind of journalism that gives reporters a bad reputation — unashamed about being biased, half-researched and unnecessarily antagonistic. This is the first time that I’ve ever thought that the crisis newspapers are facing in terms of readership and accessibility might actually be due in part to the newspapers themselves and not just the electronic world that we live in.

Anonymity and Why It Matters: In Regard to Scorpions X

he Sun’s Sept. 24 editorial, “The Hypocrisy of Scorpions X,” criticizes the group’s approach, citing their anonymity as hypocritical. In this piece we find all sorts of retaliatory language in response to what seems is being taken as a personal challenge from Scorpions X (no doubt due to the circulation of the “Cornell Nightly Moon”).

The main object of attack and criticism is neither the group’s agenda, nor even its methods, but rather the anonymity of

paper; most importantly, they have made several lists of demands (or rather, one list with several versions) asking for awareness and transparency for issues of oppression and bias. As far as things go, they have been pretty consistent. Or is the hypocritical tag being applied because the Scorpions X is anonymous?

The writer offers, for contrast, that The Sun’s editorial board members are responsible for its output. Okay, great.

But the comparison is absurd. The Sun

Christina Zhang ’15 Guest Room its individual members. Accusations include, among other things, “hypocrisy,” “eschew[ing] responsibility,” and “cowardice.”

Hypocrisy — that’s a pretty heavy word. In what way has Scorpions X been hypocritical? They have defaced a few dozen allegedly racist posters and defended the act in an email bringing attention to the group; they have made a bunch of YouTube videos sending antioppression messages; they have published and distributed a polemical news-

has a responsibility to its contents. The University administration has a responsibility to the well-being of its students.

The only responsibilities an anonymous group owes to anyone are those that are taken upon themselves.

Anonymity seems to be fundamentally misunderstood. Too easily do we forget that “Scorpions X” itself is an identity, and that it has been attached to a number of actions as well as an articulate agenda. Thus it can represent students without being their representative. That

the anonymity of its individual members matters so much to the writers only calls attention to the fact that Scorpions X is at least right on the count that the issues are being ignored. After all, it is fair to disagree with their views. It is equally fair to agree with them but condemn their methodology, including personal attacks — which might have made an effective, valid argument had it not been immediately sidelined. Instead, the editorial chose to openly ignore everything they have said and done, and criticize them for failing to meet standards of non-anonymity arbitrarily projected upon them. As the editorial reads, “Without commenting on the message or methodology of the group, The Sun calls on Scorpions X to either drop its highly personal vitriol or step forward and reveal the names of its members.”

Isn’t this the inevitable and highly ironic response — a self-righteous admission of disregard for both message and methodology? If that’s not missing the point, or any possible point — even if this is just a political stunt — I really don’t know what is.

And that is the crux of the problem.

Something that is questioning our community’s ability to address individual bias (be it racial, sexual or otherwise) is being turned into a question of individual identities. The majority of recent responses are more concerned with treating the situation as a threat to established authority than a critique of our

community. We are trying to make it personal. So is anonymity really cowardice? No. Rather, I think it is necessary to the nature of the issues being addressed. Our inability to see past that is symptomatic of the very things Scorpions X is suggesting — that as a community our responses to bias are immature and that our attitude towards critique is problematic. It is exactly the kind of attitude that stifles actual discussion by reducing every criticism into a personal affront. The editorial also complains that Scorpions X has not provided a forum, apparently having overlooked the fact that the lack of a forum for problems in the community is exactly why such a group exists in the first place.

And yes, we do have problems — only the “dangerous escalation of rhetoric and hyperbole” is hardly one of them. While that is, always has been and always will be the first reaction to minority outcry, nobody has the authority to gauge the exact point in time it becomes appropriate to act. Throwing around loaded words like hypocrisy and cowardice while skirting the issues at hand contributes nothing. I think we have had enough bottle-throwing and sexual assault as it is.

with endless nuances and demands. Here, Anderson constructs an exacting cinematic construction that expresses its meaning through acting as well as direction.

The Master is unlike any film I have ever seen. Some of its power comes from what we do see, in all its rich 70mm cinematography, tailored by Mihai Malaimare Jr. The rest is in what we feel. Anderson often navigates the temporal space of his sets from a distance — The Shining’s long hallways come to mind. This technique, along with the film’s slow-paced editing and character-driven narrative, allows for our eyes to wander and pick up on the details of the mise-en-scene. The score by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood (he also composed for There Will Be Blood) does not underline plot points or memorable lines but just slips under your skin along with every other element. Surreal fantasies creep in without warning, and the power of The Cause starts to seem plausible.

I am curious as to how history will judge this film. There is a chance, upon closer analysis, that the academic verdict of The Master will deem it symbolically empty and hopelessly vague. I believe my first viewing offered enough validation of its merits, and what we have here will rise to a Great film.

As the credits rolled, I could not escape associations with Ingmar Bergman’s Persona. That film, too, studied two individuals, one mentally ill and the other trying to heal through empathy. It is questionable whether these intimate examinations ever cured these characters, but as any film, literature or art major knows, they are how we convert our confusion into reverence.

Who Wants to Be a Comic Book Artist?

BY ASHLEY POPP Sun Contributor

Why spend $85 to go to the New York Comic Con, when you could go to Buffalo Street Books instead? Last Friday, the bookstore held a panel of comic book artists that rivaled any convention that you could find in the city. First off, you didn’t have to wait on line for three hours to get a seat. But more importantly, the three artists featured at the event each understood the comic industry differently. Usually when you go to a comic convention, the panels are highly specialized — you don’t get to compare artists with wildly different styles and backgrounds in the same room. Yet this was what you had at BSB. The panel was geared towards local artists trying to break into the industry, advertised as providing information on “Indie Comics, Web Comics, Self Publishing ... & Everything Else You Ever Wanted to Know About Drawing Awesome Comics and the Industry.”

Amazingly, all of this was covered.

Steve Ellis started everything off by talking about self publishing and this little website called Kickstarter. The site is a poor man’s best friend. If you have an idea, but

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

don’t have the money to produce it, log on right now and create an account. Unlike in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, you’ll have the rights to your comic and control over what you produce. Basically, you set a funding goal and project deadline, and online contributors will choose to fund your project or not. It functions almost like a reality show, but instead of getting votes, you actually get funded.

Kickstarter sounds almost like a shortcut to getting published, but in a way, it’s not. All of the responsibility falls on the artist. They are given money, but they have to get materials and distribute everything themselves. Ellis shared a friend’s experience with the site. He explained that the goals of the project were set so high that his friend couldn’t fit all of his materials in his house. This forced him to buy a storage facility, and, in the end, lose money on the project. Ellis’ own comics High Moon and The Only Living Boy were successfully created through the magic of Kickstarter.

On the opposite end of the industry is Aaron Kuder, who only recently broke through. Before he started his career as an illustrator, Kuder was a full-time electrician. He attributes his success to luck, saying “I was like Cinderella,” to which Ethan Young, another panel member, teased, “We

all know you look good in a dress.”

Seriously, Kuder is an exceptional illustrator, yet his story probably would upset some aspiring artists. He never submitted portfolios to publishers; he got called to replace someone. Now, he works for both DC Comics and Marvel on the new Green Lantern and Avenging Spider-Man series respectively.

Working now for such major publications yet groomed by smaller ones, Kuder has an interesting perspective on the industry and the dynamic between writer and artist. He explained that “you receive your assignment in the mail, and sometimes all it’ll say is ‘fight scene on pages six through 18.’” This means that you have to be somewhat of a writer as well as an artist. Your job not only entails drawing, but deciding what is being drawn and how that conveys part of the story. On the other hand, the writer can choose to control what the illustrator draws in each panel, making the artist follow strict directions rather than interpret ideas. Oddly enough, Kuder associates drawing for Marvel with the former description and his experience at DC Comics with the latter. He did admit, however, that Marvel is starting to follow the meticulously planned storyboard method found at DC.

Now we come to Ethan Young, appropriately the youngest panel member. He is also the only writer and illustrator among the group and truly a unique individual.

He went to Laguardia High School of the Performing Arts in NYC and was one of the top illustrators of his class. Yet when he went to college and found his teacher couldn’t draw a tricep muscle, he dropped out. And at the age of 22, he came up with a comic called Tails, a semi-autobiographical tale of the misadventures of a vegan hippie who talks to cats. Young jokingly said that writing Tails validates “assigning names to the voices in [your] head.”

Among the audience were quite a few aspiring artists trying to get their feet in the door of the comic world. Laura Shepard ’12 and her friend Tom Regal, an Ithaca College grad, were a part of this crowd.

When asked how helpful this panel was to their careers, both agreed “it was informative,” but not as helpful as they hoped.

After all, Ellis did classify himself and the others as “the modesty panel.” A lot of getting into the industry is luck, and luck is not the answer students want to hear.

The Adventure of Everyday Life

With two amateur female leads, four episodes and merely a handful of characters, The Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle, directed by the late French filmmaker Éric Rohmer, offers a surprising amount of both philosophical and comical moments, making the many long dialogues between characters tolerable. The quartet of stories that make up the movie depict not only four separate episodes of rather mundane activities between two friends, Reinette and Mirabelle, but also the progression of their rather interesting friendship. What is remarkable, though, is that throughout these four episodes, Reinette and Mirabelle clash and slowly adapt to each other’s ideologies.

When the two meet each other, Mirabelle is on a trip to the French countryside — where Reinette resides each summer — in order to escape the noises and bustling lifestyle of Paris. The differences in their personalities are apparent from the moment they meet: Whereas country girl Reinette carries with her an air of naiveté and, more or less, an adventurous spirit, her counterpart, Mirabelle, could not be any more Parisian.

Despite her interest in the farm life led

by Reinette and her neighbors, Mirabelle regards everything around her with a nonchalant arrogance. For those acquainted with the French language, the not so subtle difference in the girls’ accents makes it clear that the two are not crafted from the same mold.

Yet, despite their differences, Reinette and Mirabelle become friends almost instantaneously as Reinette invites Mirabelle to stay for dinner. When the two

T

COURTESY OF LES FILMS DU LOSANGE

approach the topic of silence, Reinette introduces Mirabelle to the idea of “The Blue Hour,” which is technically the only minute of silence early in the morning when “nature holds its breath” and the birds stop singing. It is a phenomenon Reinette believes only can exist in the countryside.

The hysteria that Reinette displays as a truck ruins the couple’s first attempt to catch “The Blue Hour” renders her almost insane. However, the next morning, when the two newly minted friends hold their breaths and enjoy that precious moment where everything becomes dead silent, they share a moment of unexpected intimacy between the two. The embrace Cornell between them at the end of the scene eluCinema cidates not only an unlikely mutual understanding between two individuals but also the beginning of a companionship that is clearly not based on similar ideology. The end of the first episode illustrates Rohmer’s theme of universality as the audience contemplates the basis of Reinette and Mirabelle’s fast-blooming friendship.

Charley Du

The three following chapters of the film all take place in Paris, after Reinette decides to develop her technique in painting at an art institute and move into Mirabelle’s apartment. The second chapter, titled “The Waiter,” provides a comical interim in the midst of more serious adventures. After Mirabelle gives Reinette directions to a café, the latter insists on obtaining the exact address. When that fails, Reinette’s attempt to ask passerbys for direction leads to a ridiculous argument between two Parisians that reflects the sheer idiocy of the situation. Even after Reinette arrives at the café, the self-important waiter informs Reinette that she needs to have exact change for her café and refuses to accept her two-hundredfranc bill. The two girls’ escape from the end of the café and the waiter’s reaction is probably the funniest moment in the film.

It is at the end of the second chapter of the film that the paradoxes and contradictions in the relationship between Reinette and Mirabelle begin. After the debate over how to treat the waiter from chapter two, the girls go on to philosophize charity and vigilantism in chapter three. Mirabelle, after trying to convince Reinette that her four-franc cup of coffee was not worth going back to the café to return the money,

his week I opened a fortune cookie on a site called show portrayed High School more like it really is — kind of FortuneCookieMessage.com. My fortune told me the opposite of Clueless. The end of the season left us forevthis: “Old dreams never die, they just get filed away.” er waiting to see what happens when Lindsay Weir gets on I don’t fully agree with this statement, dear electronic for- that bus and what is next for Daniel Desario. I’m always tune cookie. But I can certainly think of some old dreams hoping that her little brother will find a girlfriend and that that have stayed with me. Some of these dreams are heartfelt he and Daniel will become friends.

Speaking of girlfriends: One of the strangest and strangegoals and secret hopes, I suppose, but the things I am holding most tightly to are the dreams I have had for my favorite ly adorable relationships that never quite came to fruition people. Not real people. I’m talking my favorite television was the 2007 Ned and Chuck relationship in Pushing show characters. I’m talking about my dream for George- Daisies.

argues that it is impossible for her to give to every beggar. Her actions here reflect the irony and hypocrisy in her logic as she refuses to give a few francs to the beggars. In a later scene, Mirabelle makes the point that “you cannot accuse a person whose motives you don’t understand,” while Reinette advocates acts of vigilantism that seem to contradict her saying that “adults are responsible for their actions.” All the philosophical questions arise in the movie without much action — they really happen as a result of the characters’ ordinary experiences. That is the magic of Rohmer’s film: Reinette and Mirabelle could be any two friends whose lives converge, bettering both of them as a result.

At the end, the audience is offered more questions than answers as Rohmer incorporates philosophical topics — ranging from friendship to innocence versus cynicism to responsibilities over one's’ actions. Jessica Forde’s Mirabelle displays a perfect Parisian mindset, all the while preserving the character’s inner intensity; Joëlle Miquel portrays a Reinette who is both convincingly naïve yet in her own way both adamant and mischievous. The film is as much a loss of innocence story for the characters as it is a suggestion of an ordinary life with a muchheightened sense of excitement for the audience. Like in many other French films, much of the drama of the film occurs through dialogue and not action. To learn to appreciate such a film is definitely an acquired taste, but given the laughter and questions with which it provided me, I would suggest it to Francophiles or cinephiles alike.

— all that, all for nothing.

These are just a few examples of many. Arrested Development is getting a movie and new season which is beyond exciting. I can’t begin to describe young Jay Baruchel in Undeclared, but I am also running out of room so I won’t try.

We have all had TV show characters we’ve become attached to. If we didn’t, the shows wouldn’t be fun to watch.

When they finally end, we get sad for a while, stalk the crap out of the characters/actors and find new shows to love. At least I hope you all do that too. If you have a Netflix account or a go-to streaming site and want to share the dream, check out some of these over October break.

When our lives are filled with prelims and cups of coffee and my dreams are just to make it through all the work of the week, there is always something going on in the land of television. Old or new. I will always always go back and laugh at Tobias from Arrested Development when I want to smile. So, to you fortune cookie gods that are probably gathered up in the interwebs: My TV dreams are filed away in a little manilla folder somewhere that keeps getting bigger. I hope they never do die. It might be sad, but they make life a little more interesting when not much else is going on.

Red Looks to Extend Its Undefeated Streak M. SOCCER

Continued from page 16

kick for the Red. Haber converted the kick, sending it high to the right beyond Hartwick sophomore goalkeeper Tom Buckner and successfully tying the game at one all.

“We were a little disappointed that we came out flat,” Haber said.

“But, we picked our stuff up and quickly rebounded, which we know we are capable of.”

After earning the equalizing goal, the Red stepped up the momentum on the field. In the 27th minute, Regan lifted Cornell over Hartwick, 2-1. The forward capitalized off a long ball from the midfield and beat Buckner, shooting the ball low and right. The pass bounced between a Hawks defender and Regan, before he found a breakaway opportunity which he followed through on. Cornell finished the first half racking up 12 shots to Hartwick’s four and leading 2-1 going into the next 45 minutes of play.

“We’re resilient, and it’s one of the things that we pride ourselves on,” Regan said. “[Head coach Jaro Zawislan] always says, ‘The game’s never over. The game’s never out of reach,’ and we embody that.”

The second half was even stronger for the Red, as Haber notched his second goal of the game. Haber put away his nation-leading 13th goal of the season at the 65-minute mark, after receiving a pass from Regan. The junior cut inside the box, “We pride ourselves on the out-muscled a quality of the depth we defender and sunk have.” the shot behind Buckner — giving Jaro Zawislan Cornell a 3-1 lead.

The game looked like it was in the bag for the Red; however, one more player was able to light the scoreboard up for Cornell’s fourth goal of the night. With 11 minutes left to go, DeProspo scored for the first time in his collegiate career. Regan sent the ball streaking up the right side of the box, where DeProspo was waiting to bury it in the net.

“My teammates did such a great job, so I was really happy,” DeProspo said. “Coach [Joe] Schneck had been pushing me and pushing me and pushing me to get into the box, I just happened to be in the right place. Tyler Regan did a great job, and it was a team effort to get the ball up there.”

With the win, Cornell earned its best start to a season in program history. The Red has extended its non-conference unbeaten streak to 16 games and increased the school record to 24 consecutive games with at least one goal. The team has been making headlines recently, as players have earned recognition for their accomplishments on the pitch, including Haber and Regan. “[Haber and Regan] will be the first one to say that their individual recognitions, their individual play, their individual styles are the outcome of the full team effort,” Zawislan said.

Against Hartwick, Haber scored his 30th point of the season and earned the fifth-place spot (23) on the all-time career goals list for Cornell. While Haber shined on the field, other players were able to get to some more playing time and contribute to the team’s overall effort.

“We pride ourselves on the quality of the depth we have,” Zawislan said.

While the final score was clearly in favor of the Red, Hartwick gave Cornell a run for its money, according to Zawislan.

“It wasn’t an easy game,” he said. “Hartwick was a quality, solid team and we had to come up with special plays to break them down.”

The coach credited the Hawks for coming out sharp, executing good sequences and attacks and putting away the chance in the first minute of play. Soccer is a game where teams need to be sharp from the first play to the last play, Zawislan said.

Looking forward, Cornell is set to begin conference play, welcoming Ivy foe Penn to Berman Field on Saturday at 7 p.m. Ivy League play is one of the most competitive conferences in the country, according to Zawislan, so as the Red enters the second half of the season, the team will need to step up its level of play once more.

The Quakers (2-7-0) have had a rough start to their season, losing their first six games, before winning last weekend against Farleigh Dickinson, 3-2, and Rider, 7-2. Most recently, Penn competed against Drexel, but fell 2-1 in the Wednesday game. The Quakers have given up 23 goals this season, putting them at the top of the Ivy League. Penn is currently leading the overall series against the Red, 59-29-13; however, Cornell left smiling last year, as Haber scored the game-winning goal with just over a minute left to play in the then-scoreless match. Before 2011, the Red had not beaten the Quakers since 2005.

“We have a very bitter taste in our mouth with the way that Ivy [play] ended last year,” Haber said. “We’ve been hungry and we’re ready for it, but we knew that all we could do beforehand it was take care of our out-of-conference schedule. We’re really happy with the way we’ve done that and we’re really excited and we’re ready for it. It’s what we’ve been waiting for all year.”

Last year Cornell finished third in the league, so the Red will look to record its ninth victory of the season and lift a win streak over Penn to two games.

“We know and understand that Princeton always comes ready to play, and we need to prepare for them just as we do for any team,” he said.

The Red looks to continue its early season success over Princeton this Friday. According to Guccia, the team has one big goal for the end of the season. ”Like all teams, it’s to win the championship,” he said.

This weekend the Red looks to take another step forward in its goal of winning the Collegiate Sprint Football League Championship. According to Zittel, in order to continue its success this season, Cornell will have “to continue to work hard in practice and take each week and each game one at a time.”

Having already played two very tough games, Guccia explained that the experiences have shaped the team. “[Winning the tough games] shows team character,” he said. “[The players] never gave up, even when we were behind, and that’s why they were successful.”

The character of this team could play an important role in its continued success in the upcoming games.

With Princeton, followed by Army and then Navy, the Red faces the traditional powerhouses of the league.

Cornell Hosts Sienna,Yale This Weekend

By SHAYAN SALAM Sun Staff Writer

The field hockey team will look to Yale pick up some needed points this weekend when it hosts both Yale and Siena. After winning its first Ivy vs. competition of the season against Penn, the Red lost both games last weekend Cornell when travelling to and Columbia Rutgers.

“We’ve really been working on coming together as a team and honing our skills and this work should translate into more wins the second half of the season,” Collins said.

Red Prepares for Battle of the’Nells Offense shapes up as weeks pass

By QUINTIN SCHWAB Sun Senior Writer

Coming off a resounding Homecoming victory, the Cornell football team looks to stay hot against its 2011 Homecoming prey, Bucknell, in Lewisburg, Pa., tomorrow at 6 p.m. The Red (1-1, 1-0 Ivy League) is focused on taking care of the Bison (1-2, 0-1 Patriot League) for the sixth straight year as a high-profile matchup at defending Ivy champion Harvard lurks over Fall Break.

Last Saturday against Yale, the Cornell offense sharpened up from its season opener at Fordham, the defense was fast and furious and freshman running back Luke Hagy, the Ivy League Rookie of the Week, notched 157 yards of total offense and two rushing scores in the 45-6 drubbing.

The last of these accomplishments, joked former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie on NBC Sports Network’s broadcast of the win over Yale, rivals the inherent pass-first philosophy of Cornell head coach Kent Austin. Flutie and Austin, who hold the first and second totals for passing yards in a Canadian Football League season, respectively, are good friends. Austin, the Ole Miss offensive coordinator from 2008-09, stressed that the Bulldogs’ three-down defensive formation encouraged the Red to run but that he values a potent running game nonetheless.

“Every complexion of a football game is different.

Schematically [Yale] just played a defense that we felt like was a good look for us to run the football against,” Austin said after last weekend’s game.

“If you look statistically at my past and do any due dili-

gence, you’ll see that we were a very balanced offense at Ole Miss,” he added this week. “Obviously I favor the pass, but I certainly understand the value and the need to have a great running game.”

The new-look Red ground attack faces a stiff test this week, as an historically stingy Bucknell defense relinquished only 11 rushing yards to Lafayette in a 20-14 home loss last Saturday. The Bison, who ranked third in the nation in rushing defense and second in forced turnovers in 2011, recorded an astonishing 13 tackles for loss against the Leopards.

“They’re experienced on the [defensive] line,” Hagy said.

“We know that they’re going to be very physical on defense and they all get to the ball. I’m going to have to [run] north

and south and get as many yards as I can on each carry.”

“Bucknell runs well on defense,” Austin added. “They play with a lot of energy, they really play hard up front, they play to the whistle and it’ll be a challenge for us.”

If the Bison contain Hagy and Cornell’s other rushers, the Red can always turn to the country’s second-best passing attack. Junior quarterback and offensive co-captain Jeff Mathews is on a tear, averaging 414.5 yards per game in 2012 with seven touchdowns.

On the other side of the ball, it is anyone’s guess as to which version of the Red defense will show up — the unit See FOOTBALL page 14

C.U.Begins Ivy Play Against Penn Squad Welcomes Tigers For Friday Night Battle

By LAUREN RITTER Sun Sports Editor

On Tuesday night, Hartwick may have commanded the first 22 seconds of play; however, the Red dominated the remainder of the game — adding a 4-1 victory to its ‘W’ column.

The Hawks made their presence known from the moment the whistle blew. Freshman back David Styles quickly got down to business, serving the ball into the box from the left side of the field, where senior forward Cleyon Brown was able to make good on a header. Hartwick (2-3-2) earned a one-goal advantage, while Cornell (8-0-0) found itself down

for the second game in a row. “[The early goal] was a quick wake-up call for us as a team,” said sophomore midfielder Atticus DeProspo. “It kind of got us back into [the game], focused and concentrated on our game plan and high pressuring [the Hawks] and making sure we had to do our jobs individually and as a collective team effort too.”

Cornell was quick to reclaim the game’s momentum, as junior forward Daniel Haber broke through just over seven minutes later. Senior forward Tyler Regan was fouled from behind — earning a penalty See M. SOCCER page 13

For a Cornell sprint football player the idea of playing under the lights of Schoellkopf Field on a Friday night is something very important. On Friday night at 7 p.m., the Red is scheduled to welcome the Princeton Tigers. Not only is this a game on the Red’s home field against a rival Ivy League school, according to the players, there is nothing more sentimental than playing under the “Friday Night Lights.”

Up to this point in the season, the Red (2-0, 1-0 Ivy League) has overcome two tough opponents to capture an undefeated start to its regular season. With an astonishing six-overtime win over Penn, and an intense fourth quarter touchdown over Franklin Pierce to solidify its success over the newest addition to the league, the Red has exhibited its maturity and toughness when it matters.

This Friday night Cornell will be tested again. Princeton (0-2) comes off of a tough loss to The United States Naval Academy, a perennial league powerhouse.

Furthermore, Princeton narrowly missed a

successful home opener against Mansfield University the weekend prior with a final score of 23-16.

“We watched [the Tigers’] first game versus Mansfield; they played them pretty even,” said co-head coach Bart Guccia.

Princeton will be out looking for its first win of the season against the Red. Although having had a successful history against the Tigers, Guccia said that he will not take this game lightly.

“We prepare for each team the same way,” he explained.

“We learn their tendencies, formation, and defense and create our game plan accordingly,” Although having started their season with two losses, the Tigers are looking for redemption this coming weekend against the Red. “Princeton is much improved,” Guccia said. “Had it not been for a couple of interceptions they could have won. We can’t take them lightly.”

During the last meeting of the two programs, the Red stunned Princeton with a 49-7 win. However, last year’s game See SPRINT page 14
