Government Shuts Down Congressional gridlock climaxes at midnight

By SARAH CUTLER Sun Senior Writer

After days of dispute in the House of Representatives over the 2014 federal budget — during which Republicans said they would only continue federal funding operations if they won concessions on the Affordable Care Act — the federal government shut down at midnight Tuesday.

The shutdown includes all federal agencies deemed “nonessential” to national security and public safety. This means the closure of more than 350 national parks, a nearcomplete closure of the Environmental Protection Agency and limits on the abilities of housing authorities to provide rental assistance through October.

As the shutdown loomed last week, Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) introduced the “Pay Our Veterans and Senior Citizens First” Act, which ensures that veterans proSee SHUTDOWN page 4

Goals for Her Tenure

By SUN STAFF

On Aug. 1, Gretchen Ritter ’83 replaced Prof. Peter Lepage, physics, as the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. A third-generation Cornellian and former vice provost for undergraduate education and faculty governance at the University of Texas at Austin, Ritter is the first female dean of the arts college. Sun News Editor Caroline Flax ’15 sat down with Ritter to talk about her return to Cornell and her goals for the arts college.

Part of that, to me, is really about the importance of helping our students to be equipped for global citizenship, because I think we increasingly live in a time where our graduates will be going out into the world and be expected to interact with people from different cultures and nationalities and often to travel and participate in other societies outside of the U.S. Another initiative that I am particularly interested in is helping to foster more innovation in undergraduate education.

eLab Participants Will Now Earn More Credits

By YAMINI BHANDARI Sun Contributor

With the addition of two new, eLab-specific classes, Cornell entrepreneurs working with eLab — a business accelerator for student start-ups — can now receive up to 5.5 credits toward graduation.

Dan Cohen, director of eLab and a lecturer in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations, described the development as a “big win for the students.”

“We found the program is rigorous for students — they work so hard on their startups that it can get hard to balance with a full course load,” he said. “We created the courses so the students could fit the program in as part of their course load instead of on top of a full course load.” eLab’s classes help teach students how to apply “We’re incubating the their entrepreneurship skills so they can transform best startups across their ideas into real companies, according to the state of New York.” Cohen.

Cohen said only Stanford University and the Dan Cohen Massachusetts Institute of Technology offer similar programs where student entrepreneurs can take classes aimed at enhancing their startups.

The eLab program, which was established in 2008, usually accepts about 10 of the 25 teams that apply. Cohen said the program is intended to help student entrepreneurs with great ideas learn to market those ideas in the real world. eLab is open to any graduate or undergraduate Cornell student and is aimed at honing students’ business and entrepreneurship skills through classes offered at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management.

“We know students are often resource-constrained, so we help them identify target market and reach their customer base and also teach them other key entrepreneurial skills that will help them throughout their career,” Cohen said.

Just pop in | Ali Hamed ’14 sits in The PopShop, where entrepreneurs can gather to work on projects. Some student entrepreneurs can now receive more academic credit through eLab.

Cohen said eLab also helps students build networks that they can draw upon when they start a business. The eLab program already has nine current concept companies run by students, many of which have enjoyed success recently.

Last year one of eLab’s concepts, Rosie — an app that helps consumers save money on groceries by monitoring what kinds of products they purchase and making price recommendations — was selected as one of the finalists in the $350,000 Startup Labs Syracuse business competition, The Sun previously reported.

Cohen said Rosie’s success is not the only story of its kind.

“We’re not just incubating the best startups on campus , we're incubating some of the best startups across the state of New York," Cohen said.

In addition to a host of competitions around the state, eLab also participates in Demo Day in April, where students in the program present their business models. Demo Day gives students an opportunity to show off their work to faculty and peers at Cornell.

Alumni Couple Gives Grant for Travel Anthropology department receives $100,000 to support research

By ANIKA SETHY Sun Contributor

A gift from a Cornell alumni couple will enable anthropology majors with certain concentrations to travel abroad and conduct research.

Randy Freedman ’75 and Howard Freedman ’74 M.B.A. ’75 donated $100,000 to the Department of Anthropology in the hopes that their gift would allow students to bring back a deeper understanding of other cultures, according to Mrs. Freedman.

Mrs. Freedman, who studied anthropology and archaeology at Cornell and met her husband during her undergraduate years, said they chose to donate to the University out of gratitude for its contribution to their career success.

“My career has been influenced by the concepts and philosophy of anthropology, which taught me to understand and respect diversity,” Mrs. Freedman said.

The Freedmans’ gift will go toward funding the work of students, likely in their junior year, who want to pursue a senior honors thesis, according to Prof. Nerissa Russell, anthropology, chair of the anthropology department. Ideally, students supported by the grant would conduct the research the summer before their senior year, she said.

The selection process would include a committee of around two or three faculty, and might also include a student, Russell said.

According to Russell, the grants would constitute about $4,000 to $5,000 per year. The money would fund independent undergraduate studies outside of the classroom, such as research over the summer. Such research could consist of ethnographic work — which would include the observation of a group of people over an extended period of time, Russell said.

The Freedmans’ gift will fund research and travel specifically for students studying the sociocultural and ethnographic sub-disciplines of the anthropology department, which currently do not have funding for these types of opportunities, Russell said.

Mrs. Freedman, who spent a portion of her career in human resources management and is currently the executive director at the York Jewish Community Center in York, Penn., said she hopes her donation will allow students to bring back an appreciation of diversity from their research and travels.

Mrs. Freedman joined the Jewish Community Center as its cultural director, and has since established a diversity education department at the center.

Mrs. Freedman said she gained a sense of self as well as humility during her time at Cornell.

“I would say [to current students] to stay flexible in your thinking about what your education can do and to make sure you attain transferrable skills,” Mrs. Freedman said.

Prof’s Daughter and Athletic Director’s Son Marry The son and daughter of two families with strong ties to Cornell were married at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art on Saturday.

The bride, Sasha Sagan, is the daughter of the late Carl Sagan, a prominent Cornell professor known for his work in astronomy and space sciences. Jonathan Noel ’04, the groom, is the son of Andy Noel, director of Athletics and Physical Education.

Jonathan Noel’s mother, Dr. Betsy Mead Noel ’86, is a senior officer in Cornell’s fundraising office, according to The New York Times.

The couple met as students at Boynton Middle School in Ithaca, although they did not begin dating until after college.

Sasha Sagan is an independent writer, producer and film editor in New York, according to the Times. She graduated from New York University.

Jonathan Noel trades United States and Latin American stocks for the Investment Technology Group, a securities brokerage in New York, where he is a vice president.

sciences as well. I think that information technology creates enormous opportunities for us to do exciting and challenging new things educationally, and it would be a shame if we didn’t take advantage of that.

SUN: You are also the first female dean of Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences. How do you feel about that?

G.R.: Honestly, when I learned that I was the first female dean, I was a little surprised, and I was a little surprised in part because I have always been proud of the fact that Cornell was one of the first co-ed institutions of its kind, and I think of Cornell as a place that has a strong tradition in leadership in woman’s education. So, I think it’s great that there is a woman dean, and I would have perhaps expected that it would have happened a while back.

SUN: And how is it being a dean as opposed to vice provost for undergraduate education and faculty governance, like your position at the University of Texas?

G.R.: [Former Cornell President] Frank Rhodes told me the other night that I have the best job at the University, and I think he’s got a point. It’s a wonderful job because it’s the college that in many ways is the heart and soul of the campus, both geographically and in terms of our ability to touch all of the undergraduates on the campus and to have the largest group of faculty on the campus. Being a dean means you can help support largescale program building, but you’re still close enough that you feel a real sense of connection to faculty, students and

SUN: So how has the transition back to Cornell been so far?

G.R.: It’s been great. I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit; it’s been very full and robust. It’s certainly keeping me busy — getting to know all of the students, the 28 departments, the dozen programs, hundreds of faculty, etcetera — but I’m enjoying it enormously.

SUN: How has it been being back in Ithaca?

G.R.: Being back in Ithaca is really lovely. I grew up in upstate New York so it feels wonderful for me to back in a place that has seasons, that has cool weather in September, and I’ve really been enjoying things like the apples and the beginning of the trees turning.

SUN: I know you have come into Cornell with a lot of initiatives that have already been started, so what have you thought of the initiatives you now are expected to spearhead, like faculty renewal, or the construction on Goldwin Smith Hall and other buildings around campus?

G.R.: The faculty renewal initiative, I think, is a brilliant initiative. I think that we should all be deeply grateful to [former dean] Peter Lepage for really helping to kick that off. It is a great way to help us plan a transition, to bring in new faculty before that bulge of senior faculty that is getting close to retirement age leave Cornell, and I think that will make us stronger in the process. I think Klarman Hall, [the new humanities building] is, among other things, a wonderful testament to the University’s appreciation for the importance of the humanities at a moment when others have doubted the

importance of the humanities. I also think it is a wonderful testimony to the great love and support we have from our alumni for things like the humanities.

SUN: Adding onto that alumni point, Cornell just announced that it has had yet another successful fundraising year. How do you think that will affect your operations in the College of Arts and Sciences?

G.R.: We could not do what we do without that kind of support. There’s no question about it, Klarman Hall and the faculty renewal program — the two things we just talked about — would not exist without that kind of deep alumni support. So Cornell’s strength as a university really depends on that, and I am very grateful for it.

SUN: So, to wrap up, what kind of things are you looking forward to for this year and into the future?

G.R.: I am looking forward to continuing to get to know our students and our faculty, in particular. Every time I get to meet a student who talks about a wonderful teacher they have had, or a research experience they’ve had, it warms my heart. One of the things I’m doing now is going around to the departments to faculty meetings where I just ask the faculty to tell me about their research and their strengths as a department. Faculty get excited when they talk about what they’re working on. That is something that makes me very happy about what I’m doing – to have an opportunity to support these great researchers, teachers, and students.

Senator Schumer Says Shutdown Is Concerning SHUTDOWN

Continued from page 1

grams and pay for military servicemen continue even in the event of a government shutdown. The bill guarantees troop pay while cutting off pay to Congress and the President for the duration of the shutdown, according to a Sept. 26 op-ed Reed wrote in Defense Politics Magazine.

Under current law, members of Congress, the President, Vice President and heads of Executive Agencies and Departments receive pay even if the government shuts down. The bill states that no lawmaker should receive pay “for any period in which there is more than a 24-hour lapse in appropriations.”

“I want to take proactive steps now to ensure our troops, veterans and seniors are secured from a shutdown’s impact,” Reed wrote. “The fact that Congress and the President are paid during a shutdown even though members of the military are not is completely backwards and unacceptable.”

Reed told WGRZ-TV on Sunday that he supported the Republicans’ efforts to “treat Americans fairly” and delay Obamacare for a year. By having previously granted businesses a oneyear delay to implement the Affordable Care Act, Obama “already said his health care law isn’t good enough,” according to the Republican congressman.

“Extending that delay to all American families is the fair thing to do,” he said.

Reed has also worked to end exemptions for members of Congress, congressional staff and the President under the Affordable Care Act, according to a press release published Sept. 29.

If government officials “ensure they receive special treatment, they

are choosing to shut down the government for their own self interests,” he said.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Monday that there was “small hope” of the House and Senate passing a spending bill by the midnight deadline. In an interview with MSNBC, he said that if Republicans allowed the government to shut down because of Obamacare, they would be sacrificing America to the “right-wing gods.”

On Sunday, the Democratic senator told Politicker Magazine that he was concerned about the shutdown.

“These things sometimes get resolved at the last minute, but right now I’m worried because we have a small group of fanatics who seem to have a stranglehold on the Republican Party,” he said. “No matter how strongly one feels about an issue, you shouldn’t hold millions of people hostage. That’s what the other side is doing.”

Two weeks ago, Schumer said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that Republicans wouldn’t go through with their proposed spending bill, which would defund Obamacare.

“At the end of the day, they’ll blink,” he said.

In the “unprecedented” drama that played out over the legislation, the democratic will of the people was “frustrated” by Republican intervention, Prof. Isaac Kramnick, history, said.

“What does that say about Democratic theory in America?”

Kramnick said, adding that though the media has portrayed both Democrats and Republicans as complicit in the stalemate, he believes Republicans are at fault.

“The problem has been created by one party,” Kramnick said.

New IPD Chief:‘My Motto Is Professionalism’ BARBER

Continued from page 1

enacting policies. On Thursday, the police department announced a new policy that outlines when off-duty police officers should intervene when they witness people breaking the law, The Sun previously reported. According to the protocol — which is designed to to maximize officers’ safety — off-duty officers should only intervene in situations if their actions will save a life, prevent serious injury or stop significant property loss.

Barber said one of his goals as police chief is to create a professional standards division which would oversee the department's training division, put an individual in charge of internal affairs to ensure complaints are investigated and be responsible for getting the agency accredited. If earned, this accreditation would allow for the department to apply for additional grants and helps to ensure that the department’s policies are up to date, according to Pete Tyler, senior deputy chief of police.

However, the standards division may not become a reality in the near future due to the department’s current budget constraints, imposed by city-wide budget cuts, according to Officer John Joly.

“The only problem is that we are so short-staffed that we don’t have the manpower to do it right now,” Joly said about the professional standards division.

Tyler also expressed similar concerns and said that the department is doing its best to handle the reduced staffing.

However, he lauded Barber’s efforts as police chief.

“Bringing it all together, running an agency, keeping the

public happy and making sure that your officers are taken care of, again, leads me back to having John Barber as Chief of Police,” Tyler said. “I think he was the right person for the position.”

Barber said that the creation of the standards division is long overdue.

“My motto is professionalism, and this is one more step in achieving the best possible professional police organization,” he said.

In addition to creating a professional standards division, Barber also hopes to continue interacting with the public and working to make positive changes in regards to policecommunity relations, which he described as his favorite part of the job.

“I think the community needs to know that they have an excellent police agency here with some very dedicated men and women who are very good at their jobs,” Barber said about his colleagues.

Barber also said that another one of his duties as chief is to take care of his employees. According to Joly, Barber “seems to have his eye on increasing morale.”

Joly — who is also the union president of the Police Benevolent Association, which represents IPD officers — said that Barber has made himself available to patrols and provides support when necessary, adding that Barber is “working towards making the department a better place.”

Tyler said that the manner in which Barber treats people and his employees, as well as the way he deals with “sensitive issues” are reasons why he is qualified for the position.

“He’s done an exceptional job of balancing the needs of the department and personnel and the needs of the public.

He seems to have a knack for it,” Tyler said.

Tyler — who said he was also a candidate for the chief position — has worked with Barber since the chief began at the IPD, and since then, the two have worked together throughout their careers. At one point they were squad partners, and when Barber was commander of the SWAT team, Tyler was assistant commander of the team, Tyler said.

Joly also noted his satisfaction with Barber’s work so far as chief.

“I’ve known him for over nine years now. I think he’s doing a good job since he’s officially taken over,” he said.

Despite the satisfaction among Barber’s colleagues with Barber’s being selected, promotions within the police department have been a source of controversy in the past. For instance, in 2010 officer Chris Miller sued that IPD for $17 million after Lt. Marlon Byrd was promoted to the lieutenant position, The Sun previously reported.

Miller, who is white, claimed that he suffered racial discrimination and said that Byrd should not have been promoted over him for the lieutenant promotion partially because Byrd is a “poor police officer,” The Sun reported.

Regardless of the challenges that come with the title of Chief of Police, Barber is glad that he was selected for the position.

“I’m grateful I was selected for this job,” Barber said. “I think the experience I’ve acquired and accumulated along the way has prepared me for the job as Chief of Police, and I think my resume speaks for itself.”

Inside Cornell’s Guaranteed Transfer System S

enior year of high school is infamous for two things: senioritis and college decisions. “Where are you going to school next year?!” seems to be the question on everyone’s mind. For most, the answer is a simple, one word answer: Princeton or Columbia.

For a small group of others, the answer is complex and confusing. Welcome to Cornell’s Guaranteed Transfer system.

People were generally caught off guard when my answer to the college decision question sounded something like, “I’m spending my first year at McGill University in Canada before transferring to Cornell University for my sophomore year.” People thought I was either A) crazy B) lying or C) crazy and lying.

Each admissions round, Cornell extends an offer to high school seniors to attend another university of their choice for one year before beginning their studies at Cornell as a sophomore transfer student.

Although the offer’s label of “guarantee” sounds definitive, there are ironically conditions and requirements that each GT must fulfill before getting a formal acceptance to the University in the spring of their freshman year. Each school varies in requirements, but for ILRies like myself, a minimum GPA of 3.3 and the completion of core classes, such as micro and macroeconomics, was required.

Why would Cornell extend such a non-traditional

Through my personal experience, I’ve come to realize that the Guaranteed Transfer system is actually the most ideal college experience anyone could have. offer? I found myself questioning this throughout my year at McGill. The best response I received was from an admissions officer who explained that Cornell does not have the capacity on North Campus to house its ideal freshman class. So, as a solution, they reserve transfer students to come to Cornell when they can properly accommodate them. Although it seems a bit impractical, through my personal experience, I’ve come to realize that the Guaranteed Transfer system is actually the most ideal college experience anyone could have.

Now, put yourself in the position of a high school senior who has accepted the GT offer. How will you decide which university to attend for your first year?

Imagine being able to go to any university to which you’ve been accepted, knowing that you will only be there for one year. Will you try something completely out of your comfort zone? I know I did, and the same is true for so many other GTs. Take Jessi Goldman ’16, for example. She spent her year studying halfway around the world in Tel Aviv, Israel. Or Sam Newman-Plotnick ’15, who did a semester abroad taking classes at a local university in the Netherlands.

I am sharing these examples for a number of reasons. First, to show the endless possibilities the GT system offers — both for the first year, and while at Cornell. Second, to show how amazing some of our experiences have been.

My goal of this piece is not only to clarify some misconceptions about the GT system, but also to offer a challenge to those reading: Get to know us.

Collectively, GTs have had such diverse experiences, and we have so many stories to share! We have a completely different perspective on what it means to be a Cornell student, and we are so excited to finally be on campus.

With that said, look out for us on campus, ask us about our first years and show us all the little things that make Cornell, Cornell.

Comment of the day “This is yet another hateful, intolerant and entitled article about this poor persecuted bird. What makes you think that geese exist only to fulfill human needs?

Animals are not simply food, and eating something does not justify killing wildlife.

Someone thinks there are too many squirrels? Eat ’em. Too many cats? Eat ’em. Too many sparrows? Eat ’em. This is a solution indicative of a rather primitive level of problem-solving capabilities? Nope, they’ll see you coming!”

It’s Not You, It’s Me

Judging a Cop

By His Badge I

looked around in horror; I could feel the uneasiness in my bones. I sprinted forward into the dark searching for anyone that could possibly help me. With no one in sight, I grew more and more apprehensive as I ran on and on. I hysterically searched the moonlit alley for anyone who could be of service.

Finally, I bumped into the person I needed most: a man in uniform.

He turned around to face me with a scowl on his face. To my chagrin, he demanded to know why I was bothering him at this time of night. I managed to say that I was in need of help and that a police officer could possibly help save my life. He simply guffawed at the request and asked how I could possibly think he was a cop. I pointed at his badge and uniform and he simply replied: “Just because a man dons a badge and uniform does not mean he’s police officer.”

Let me first state that the “cop” in this hypothetical is completely right in saying that a badge and uniform does not make you a police officer. However, he is completely wrong in thinking that anyone would assume otherwise.

Now take this ludicrous hypothetical and apply it to your own life. Look down and ask yourself: “What badge am I wearing?”

This hypothetical will

later speak volumes as I convey my overarching message. However, I must give a few disclaimers before I do so. First, if you are reading this column online, I suggest that you log off of your computer or other device and pick up a print copy of the Sun because this week I may cause you to throw your device against the wall in anger. That being said, you should

think that it won’t affect the way people treat them. For some odd reason people get very touchy about this subject and reference the First Amendment and begin babbling about how this notion goes against everything America stands for. Nonetheless, this does little to change the fact that Trayvon Martin might be alive if he had decided not to

I would be be ignorant if I failed to realize the threatening image of a hooded African American male in today’s society. realize now that this column was written for those of you who want to be successful. If you do not want to succeed, simply put the paper down on the nearest table and leave it for someone who deserves to be at Cornell.

Now that you have affirmed that you are indeed an ambitious Cornellian reading a printed copy of The Cornell Daily Sun, you are ready to hear my message.

I want you to stop and realize right now that it is ridiculous to dress in a certain manner and to expect people to assume something entirely different. I utterly believe it is an individual’s right to dress or appear however the hell they would like.

However, it would be completely ignorant to

wear a hoodie on that fateful night.

I refuse to blame Martin and I am absolutely not saying that his death was in any way his fault. However, once again I would be ignorant if I failed to realize the threatening image of a hooded African American male in today’s society.

The concept of being unable to wear certain clothes is obviously a preposterous notion, however, reality forces this reality upon us. If you talk a certain way, look a certain way or act a certain way people will jump to conclusions and you better be wary about what those conclusions could be. You will find yourself in a bad situation if you aren’t prepared for all of the possibilities. I am in no way condoning these

ill-formed deductions, however, I make a conscious effort to uncover their existence.

Express yourself! I’m not asking you to strip yourself of displaying your personality to the world, however, I do ask you to remain knowledgeable at all times. I do question if there will be a time when people will cease to make these quick unreasonable judgments but until then we must remain vigilant. Know what your “badge and uniform” say about you and anticipate how people may react to them. If you want to be treated a particular way then you must dress and act in the manner you wish to be treated. Be sure to come to obvious conclusions before people can make them for you. The less clothing you wear the more promiscuous you appear, if you’re white and you wear a pointed white hood people might be afraid of you and if you wear large glasses in elementary school you will be called a nerd (sorry, personal story of mine). However, if you don’t manage to think of the possible repercussions of your appearance and end up in a hell that you didn’t know existed, you will not be able to forget that it’s not me, it’s you.

ARTS ENTERTAINMENT Sunday Night Recap

BY JASON ECKER Sun Contributor

Performing at Barton Hall on Sunday in her final concert in the U.S. before heading to Southeast Asia and Japan, Ke$ha definitely showed she deserved the title of her most recent album and tour — Warrior. Upon speaking with her manager I learned that Ke$ha had been battling a brutal case of strep throat. He stated, “She was truly in pain. She did everything she could today just so that she wouldn’t have to cancel the show.”

Despite her illness, she gave the crowd all of the energy, glitter and edginess that they could ask for. Entering the stage wearing a sparkle covered silver leotard and looking like her usual hotmess self, the journey into her “Crazy Beautiful Life” began.

Her performance featured her sex-packed party anthems such as “Die Young,” “Take it Off ” and “Blow,” along with the wonderful shenanigans, such as cross-dressing male pole dancers, that only Ke$ha would think to incorporate.

Amazingly, even with a sore throat, she flawlessly belted out the hooks to her many chart topping songs and proved that even without the benefits of auto-tune and a studio, she has a ton of vocal talent. In fact, maybe even more impressive While she may maintain a public persona as a wild sex symbol than how similar her voice sounded live as compared with who has never seen a rave she didn’t like, there is a lot more to her recordings, was the production value. Her incorporation the 26-year-old singer than drugs and glitter. She has a near of set changes, props and even multiple outfits made this genius IQ of over 140 and scored a 1500 out of 1600 on her show feel less like a college concert and more like a perfor- SAT’s. Prior to dropping out of high school just weeks before mance at Madison Square Garden. For several songs, she graduation to try and make it in entertainment, she had seductively sprawled out high above the stage on a diamond planned to attend Columbia University. Even last night amid shaped structure and only returned to the stage to show the audience some moves on PHOTOS BY OLIVER KLIEWE/ SUN SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER the attached stripper pole.

While Ke$ha may be known for her bath tub full of glitter, her show included confetti, streamers, light-up beach balls and even pyrotechnics — not that any of those were needed to keep the crowd enchanted. Most people were screaming the lyrics to every song from the beginning of her set. Throughout the show, she never stopped dancing or running around the stage, and her electric persona kept Barton Hall rocking. It was nearly impossible to be in the audience without dancing, sweating and getting some glitter rubbed off on you.

Her manager described the audience as “terrific” and “a lot of fun,” and clearly Cornell felt the same way about Ke$ha. Ben Broad ’17 described the show saying, “Ke$ha’s performance was extraordinary. She made every fan ecstatic and raised the energy level of the room ten-fold.” If you have ever seen one of her music videos then the show was exactly what you would expect — wild, racy, and a hell of a lot of fun.

At first glance Ke$ha may seem like an odd concert choice the stripper cage/jungle gym hybrid and telling the crowd that for a university that has an overbearing IFC, enforces a “Basics she, “Hopes everyone gets laid tonight,” Ke$ha showed great Program” many of us are all too familiar with and was outraged grace and delivered a powerful message. Before performing her at the rowdiness of last year’s crowd for Avicii. However, Ke$ha hit song “Your Love is My Drug,” she declared that she was “a does perfectly embody the unofficial school motto many supporter of any kind of love” and “won’t get married ‘till everyCornellians so proudly live by — “Work hard, play hard.” one can marry who they love.” Following that announcement,

the audience was showered in multi-colored streamers, and a pandemonium of dancing and screaming the lyrics soon ensued. It’s hard to deny that between her high IQ, political activism and healthy appetite for fun, Ke$ha sounds a lot like a typical Cornellian.

Those in attendance were treated to a fantastic show featuring all of Ke$ha’s hit songs, multiple props and sets and an overall intoxicating atmosphere where it was basically impossible not to enjoy yourself. Jen Francken ’16 said that, “It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. She was just so sexy.” Unfortunately, it seemed that the attendance paled in comparison to last year’s Avicii show, and Barton Hall was half full at best.

While the tickets sold out instantly yet again this year, after the realization that Ke$ha was on a Sunday in between prelim weeks sunk in, many people looked to unload their tickets. In fact, between Craigslist and Cornell Facebook groups more than 100 Ke$ha tickets were listed for sale at close to or under retail.

Whether people were studying or watching Walter White’s last moments on the series finale of Breaking Bad, a lot of Cornellians did not make it to the concert. It is a fairly rare occurrence that an artist of Ke$ha’s magnitude comes, not only to Cornell, but to the upstate New York region in general, and it was disappointing that so many Cornellians were unable to go.

Balancing work and play is something that every student must confront at a university as rigorous as Cornell, but one phrase that could be heard numerous times in the crowd last night was, “I can’t believe I have a prelim tomorrow.” I’m sure if it were possible to read the minds of those students who spent Sunday night in the library, they would echo a similar but opposite sentiment of, “I can’t believe I’m missing out on seeing Ke$ha.” The only positive aspect of having a smaller crowd is that there seemed to be a lot less mischief than at the previous year’s Avicii concert. After six people were hospitalized and someone infamously relieved their bowels in the bleachers, University Officials were up in arms about how to control student behavior at concerts. Luckily for the University (and whoever is responsible for cleaning Barton’s bleachers), the CUPD Staff Sargent on duty Sunday night described the crowd as, “A lot better behaved than last year.”

Regardless of the crowd’s size, Ke$ha performed her heart out for the entire hour and a half set and received rave reviews from those in attendance. As students were forced to make the quick transition from body glitter and spandex to lectures and prelims, hopefully nobody actually brushed their teeth with a bottle of Jack before class on Monday morning.

It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMC

The end of Breaking Bad

BY ZACHARY ZAHOS Sun Associate Managing Editor

“When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.”

— Hans Gruber, Die Hard This quote often serves epigraph duty atop reviews of films and television shows because, let’s be honest, a lot of the protagonists we love are extraordinary men (and, for better or worse, they are men) who live for the struggle. They face a problem, set a goal and barrel so furiously towards it that when they reach that peak, they find it constraining, foreign, flavorless. Whatever motives they had at the outset have molded to this new self-centered, usually violent way of life.

Donna Bowman of The AV Club cited the quote in her review of last year’s mid-season Breaking Bad finale, “Gliding Over All.” Back then, ages ago, Walter White realized his dreams of power, money and infamy with as smooth and lucrative a meth operation he was ever going to get. Yet he was exhausted with the monotony of his work and the emotional distance between him and every member of his family. A lot has happened since then, but that quote still applies.

It applies to us, more than anyone or anything else. How are you managing? “Felina,” the series clincher, ties up about every loose end and hits all the right notes. It’s about as perfect a finale any of us could hope for — perhaps too perfect. After all that change, all that bloodshed, all those montages and minerals, Vince Gilligan ends it all on a note of startling, almost uplifting finality. I want to give him either a standing ovation or a punch in the face. The latter more as a coping mechanism because, come on, does he expect Homeland to fill the gap he’s left us?

But, on point, that last scene is beautiful, albeit hardly surprising. In contrast with his catatonia in “Gliding Over All,” here

Walt greets that dingy meth lab — the remnants of his domain, of all that he built — with a smile. A smile, a cue from Badfinger’s “Baby Blue,” a slip of a bloody hand, a contented corpse, a crane shot ascending to heaven or else sending that soul to hell and one final cut to black. I watched that last shot with a breathless smile, yet I could not summon the expected tears. I’m not sure if that is the show’s fault or mine, or if that is the even the tone Gilligan was aiming for, or what that tone is.

Ending a show built on moral ambiguity is tricky business.

“Guess I got what I deserved. Kept you waiting there too long, my love.”

— Badfinger, “Baby Blue” A stray bullet from his own jury-rigged M60 finishes what cancer started 61 episodes ago, so why does Walt look so happy? Perhaps because he goes out without a shred of bullshit between him and those he loves and those he hates. As for those he hates, he lets Uncle Jack know money has nothing to do with it via a bullet to the head. He boasts to a dying Lydia how easy it was to slip her some ricin, how predictable she is after all her precautions. He kills all the neo-Nazis because they’re scum and the sloppy antitheses to Mike and Gus, criminals he admired and emulated. He lets Jesse strangle the life out of Todd’s already lifeless eyes because Jesse has more than earned it, not to mention the privilege to finish his own. Jesse’s refusal to put Walt down is one of the show’s final, humanistic triumphs, in which the corrupted breaks free from the corrupter to drive, cackling and crying, toward the sunset. Perhaps Jesse will finally find his way to Alaska, or into the apprenticeship of some old bearded woodworker, one equally wise as Walt but nowhere near as toxic.

“Cheer up, beautiful people, this is where you get to make it right.”

— Walt to Elliot and Gretchen

Because Breaking Bad made its name as the funniest serious show on TV, “Felina” balances its late-act slaughter with some seriously funny, somewhat horrifying preamble. In a scene none of us saw coming, Walt saunters around the postmodern, largely hollow mansion of Gretchen and Elliot Schwartz like Jacques Tati’s Mr. Hulot. Gilligan, who penned and directed “Felina,” emphasizes the Schwartz’s empty space and towering doorways against the stooped, narrow hallway of the White house. Walt may come across like a zombie — or, according to Vulture’s Matt Zoller Seitz, A Christmas Carol-esque ghost — but he’s still as brilliant as ever. He’s got that pissed-off-at-the-world Falling Down vibe about him, which about sums up his feelings for Gretchen and Eliot, yet he knows their dearly valued comfort will ensure that his remaining millions go to Walt Jr. when he comes of age. That “the two best hitmen west of the Mississippi,” Badger and Skinny Pete, are a pair of laser pointers, Badger and Skinny Pete, both perfectly willing to cast aside moral quandaries in favor of stacks of cash, just reaffirms the basic motivations that drive most of the characters in this world.

“Back in El Paso my life would be worthless. Everything’s gone in life; nothing is left.”

— “El Paso” by Marty Robbins With that: Why, oh why, did Walt return to ABQ in the first place? That fascinating cold open, just of Walt sitting there in a car, deserves a revisit. It opens with a gray, out-offocus, neutral palette, like this year’s opener “Blood Money,” which opened on the White’s pool-turned-skate-ramp. After some scratching and shedding of snow, this grayness reveals to be a driver’s window, the corner of which frames Walt’s bearded, desiccated face. Gilligan employs a ton of framewithin-a-frames in this episode (in this shot alone, two of them), which could be a subversive hint to stop judging, scrutinizing, entombing Walt — like a work of art — before he has his final say. He nearly freezes to death there in that car, the glare of police lights reflected in his thick-framed glasses (there it is again). But when he finds the keys and gets that car running, we are with him, in a close-medium shot, as he smacks the snow off the window and gets one last show on the road.

“I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really ... I was alive.”

— Walt to Skyler Even with that one frigid, cloistered moment and all that long-overdue revenge, no scene spelled true catharsis like those words. Before Skyler in her cramped flat stands neither Heisenberg nor the Walter White who justified every terrible thing in the name of family. Here is Walt, changed by his actions and, for once, true to them. That does not make him a hero, not after all he’s done — perhaps that’s why the celebratory tone of the final shot confused me, even as it moved me. If anything, that line sequesters Walt into the darkness once and for all. He seems happy there. I’m reasonably happy, too. I’m about as happy as I can be, greeting the finale not as the end of greatness but as yet another completion, now enthroned to history.

We place more emphasis of where we’re running late October and in November than September,” he said. “In our sport you can’t burn super hot for several months at a time, you have to pick your strategic time. Because of that I think we’re capable of much more and will achieve more in the later parts of the season.”

Lang was also adamant that the new “pack-attack” method that is being implemented this season is the way forward “The way the team is structured this year, our success comes from big pack of guys running together. We have several individual stars but as a whole, we have bunch of guys who are all running about the same times right now and packing them up together is the right strategy at the

Heck reflected on what was essentially a miracle comeback for him.

“I just felt so happy to make it back to the starting line after so long. Individually for me the race was a miracle. I’ve dealt with so many injuries and had so many obstacles to overcome that I even questioned my abilities. But when I wind up with my team, I just forget about all that and focus on my performance“ he said.

There may have been some claims that the men’s team should have perhaps finished a little stronger, but Heck was quick to point out the collective strength of the team that was showcased on Friday.

“It may not have shown in the results but collectively we ran a sound race. We “I think our team is got our card and competed certainly capable of much with some of the best teams in the country.

The leadership as well has been superb. Both Slogic and Rinow are responsible for two goals apiece this season, a significant portion of the overall ten goals scored by The Red. Williams has also recorded 1 assist and 4 goals. While all three maintain a very high skill level on the field, their leader-

ship off the field has been important as well.

The men look forward to starting conference play this week, with the team’s first Ivy League game of the season against the University of Pennsylvania taking place this coming Saturday at 7 p.m. After taking the title of Ivy League Champions last season, the Red prepares for a tough season of conference play trying to defend its title.

C.U.Women’s Soccer Snatches First Ivy League Win Since’10

T

he Cornell women’s soccer team grabbed its first Ivy League win against Columbia since the 2010 season Friday. Sophomore Shanay Fischer and freshman Dempsey Banks scored the goals for the Red — their first in their first Ivy League games.

Around the Ancient Eight, Princeton had its first Ivy loss of the season against Yale Saturday. The Tigers fell to the Bulldogs in a overtime showdown where it lost, 3-2. This loss was the first loss in an opening Ivy League game for Princeton since Nov. 5, 2011.

Brown also had an interesting weekend after narrowing keeping the 1-0 lead against last-year’s runner up, Dartmouth Sunday. The win for the Bears is the first against the Green and its first victory in a beginning Ivy since 2011.

2011 Ivy League winner Harvard also took home a 2-1 “W” against 2010 League winner UPenn.

Cornell Men’s Soccer Experiences First Season Loss

T

he Cornell men’s soccer team had its first loss this past Sunday in a 1-0 loss to Niagara. The team played its third game in six — adding two positive numbers to the books as well, including a 1-0 win against the University of Buffalo and a 0-0 tie against Lafayette. The loss against the Purple Eagles ended the Red’s non-conference 25-game regular season streak. Cornell dropped to a 6-1-2 record for the season thus far and the team will look to UPenn

Saturday on the road.

The highlight of the weekend was definitively the Green who remain one of nine unbeaten squads in the country. Dartmouth is unbeaten through seven games for the first time since 1987.

The Green snatched the win against Albany on Saturday in a 2-1 showdown, improving the team’s record to 4-0-3 for the season.

Columbia also continued its winning streak and

made it five straight thanks to a 2-0 shutout against Fordham on Sunday afternoon. The five straight are the most for the Lions since 1995 when the team closed that season with five consecutive victories.

Heading into next weekend, the Ancient Eight begins its Ivy League play. Some of the more interesting matchups will be Cornell as it plays Penn Saturday night and Brown who will face Columbia.

Booters Lose First Against Niagara

This past weekend, the Cornell men’s soccer team competed in two games against the University of Buffalo and Niagara University respectively. The Red fell, 1-0, against the Purple Eagles, losing for the first time since September

Dropping the ball | The Red lost its first game this season against Niagara.

2011 in a non-conference, regular season game.

The men started off the weekend with a wellplayed game against The University of Buffalo.

Senior captain and defender Patrick Slogic was able to net a goal early on in the game and get a lead on The Bulls. Through excellent play on the field as well as a great performance by senior goalkeeper Kurtis Teskoski, Cornell maintained its lead through the end of the game and was able to come out with yet another win, advancing its record to 6-0-2.

Niagara came into Sunday’s game with a record of 2-6-0, gameplay that shied in comparison to The Red’s undefeated start to the season.

However, after many attempted shots on net, which came close to tying up the game, the Red ultimately could not catch up to Niagara.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of Sunday’s loss were the many shots on goal that had the potential to tie up the mere one point deficit. In the 71 minute of the game, senior captain and defender Jake Rinow was able to slot a cross through to junior midfielder Conor Goepel.

Goepel was able to capitalize off the cross, however, the shot deflected off of the cross bar.

The next play that came close to tying up the game came in the 87 minute of play. After an unsuccessful header on net by senior captain and midfielder Ben Williams, senior defenseman Jake Kirsch executed a skillful shot, which was ultimately not counted due to an offsides call.

Despite the heartbreaking loss, the Red has seen much success this season and should take pride in the level of play they have shown on the field. The defensive line especially has been See MEN’S SOCCER page 12
