Cornell enrolls about the same number of students from the top one percent income bracket as it does from the bottom 40 percent, according to a new study.

While Cornell enrolls a smaller percentage of students from the top one percent income bracket than any other Ivy League school, those students from the top one percent are still vastly overrepresented at the University.

from families whose income places them in the top one percent, while about one in nine Cornell students come from families in the bottom 40 percent of income.

Studying anonymized tax returns of more than 28 million college students born between 1980 and 1991, researchers with The Equality of Opportunity Project found that many elite institutions enroll a disproportionate number of students from high-income families and, in many cases, are not effective at moving students from the bottom income quintile to the top income quintile.

New Dean Aims to‘Transform Student Experience’ Strives to use undergrad memories to empathize with hurt,angry students

Vijay Pendakur, who took over as the new Robert W. and Elizabeth C. Staley Dean of Students earlier this month, said he wanted to become a high school history teacher when he was in college.

“I grew up in a community where some of the smartest people I knew never got a shot at higher education,” Pendakur said. “In college, I thought about being a high school history teacher so that I could work with younger folks and empower them to succeed.”

Trigger Search Of Pedestrians

By NICHOLAS BOGEL-BURROUGHS Sun Staff Writer

Police cannot search pedestrians in Tompkins County based solely on the fact that they smell — or reek — of marijuana, according to a Tompkins County Court decision that reaffirmed a lower court’s ruling.

“The mere odor of marihuana emanating from a pedestrian, without more, does not create reasonable suspicion that a crime has occurred, and consequently does not authorize law enforcement to forcibly stop, frisk or search the individual,” Ithaca City Court Judge Scott “The mere Miller ruled in 2015. odor of After the district marihuana attorney’s office appealed that ruling, emanating Tompkins County from a Court Judge John Rowley reaffirmed pedestrian ...

The case stems from the 2014 search and arrest of Raphael Brukner near Dewitt Park in downtown Ithaca by two members of the Ithaca Police Department, who were on bicycle patrol when they smelled burnt marijuana emanating from Brukner, according to Miller’s ruling.

Officers Kevin Slattery and Richard Niemi ordered Brukner to face a wall and put his hands behind his back so they could check for weapons and weed. The officers said they ultimately found a marijuana pipe on Brukner and a tin containing a small amount of pot nearby — however, the search was illegal, according to Miller.

ent’s incarceration, particularly of a mother, last well into adulthood.

As for the future state of prison reform and national incarceration, Hagan said it will be state governments rather than the federal government that may have the biggest role to play.

Citing several studies showing the large variability among individual states in reducing — or in some cases failing to reduce — incarceration rates, Hagan emphasized the growing role individual state governments, and state welfare policies in particular, will play in reducing national incarceration rates. “[One study] gave a big pitch for focusing on the states, on state-level data, and pointed to a persistence in the related trends of increasing incarceration rates and decrease in welfare support,” Hagan said.

Just how large the variability in incarceration rates between states really is has been revealed in more recent studies.

the bottom 60 percent than they do from the top one percent.

The average median income of the parents of Cornell students born between 1980 and 1991 is $151,908, the lowest in the Ivies, while Princeton students’ parents have the highest average median income at $206,383.

In stark contrast, the national average was $76,499.

Jaelle Sanon ’19 — who attended a high-achieving, lowincome Boston high school where all students received free breakfast, free lunch and SAT fee waivers — said Cornell’s wealthy skew can be alienating.

“A lot of low-income students don’t see a path to Cornell,” Sanon said. “We see how hard it is to get [in], and [it’s] extremely expensive, so we think, ‘why should I apply?’”

“It’s kind of difficult to say, ‘I am a normal student,’” Sanon added. “There are definitely things that I have to worry about that other students don’t.”

Financial aid helps, Sanon said, but smaller purchases add up: hundreds of dollars for books, a $90 gym membership and more.

Sanon added that being lowincome in a wealthy environment can make students feel out of place and noted the importance of a strong friend group.

“The experience when you see other students talking about the trips that they’ve taken and where they’ve been because their parents have been able to afford those things … can be a bit awkward,” Sanon said. “But if you have a good group of friends and know how to navigate the school, ask the right questions and know the

An Institution Where Many Rise to the Top

Even though students in lower income brackets are underrepresented at Cornell, those who do attend often rise to the top income brackets after graduating.

By limiting the data sample to students born in 1980, 1981 and 1982, — the cohort with the most stable incomes — researchers found that lowincome students who attend elite institutions are more likely to end up in the one percent.

Ivy League schools have uniquely high “upper-tier success rates” — the percent of students from the bottom income quintile who rise to the top one percent.

Cornell’s upper-tier success rate — 10.4 percent — is high compared to all schools, but one of the worst in the Ivies, beating out only Brown.

In a random sample of 200 Cornell students, one of those students would be both from the bottom 20 percent income bracket and move to the top one percent later in life, which makes Cornell the ninth-best mobilizer of students to the top tier in the country.

Sanon said this statistic reassures her that the sacrifices her family made to send her to Cornell may very well pay off after she graduates.

“It gives me hope that all the things I’m doing here will allow me to provide for my family and that Cornell is worth me leaving my family for four years and probably more,” Sanon said.

Cornell Student Mobility Lags Behind N.Y. Schools University struggles to move students from lowest income bracket to highest 20 percent MOBILITY

“I am the youngest of seven, and I am a child of an immigrant and I am an immigrant myself,” Sanon added. “So when I leave my home to come here, I’m not just leaving my family, but I’m also leaving my dad, who doesn’t speak English very well. I’m usually the translator — the person who’s calling the cable company and things like that.” ... But Only if You Can Get In

While Cornell and other elite institutions stand out in moving the bottom 20 percent to the top one percent, these institutions lag behind other colleges in moving the bottom 20 percent to the top 20 percent. Less selective institutions, the data show, enroll more students from the bottom 20 percent and successfully move those students to the top 20 percent.

Other New York colleges, including the entire CUNY system, are picking up the slack in mobilizing students from lower income brackets to the top 20 percent.

Sanon said Cornell could send people from low-income communities to those same communities to recruit so that prospective students could “see themselves at Cornell.” She also said resources from low-income students should be publicized more.

“So if those were more clear and open, then those low-income students would not feel like Cornell is this mysterious, expensive place that they can’t see themselves going to,” Sanon said.

The Equalizer

Because students at the high school Sanon attended had to pass an exam before they could enroll, Sanon was surrounded by highperforming students who she said may have underestimated their own ability.

The data supports Sanon’s speculation.

One of the study’s more significant findings was that incomebased “mismatch effects” — the alleged tendency of students from low-income backgrounds to perform poorly at schools with wealthier classmates — are almost nonexistent across all types of schools. This means that if Sanon’s low-income but qualified classmates had gone to Cornell, they may very well have earned nearly the same income as Cornell’s wealthiest students.

But Sanon was quick to add that the virtue of low-income students attending Cornell is more

than wealth — it is about being treated fairly.

“There are so many people who fall for the trap … of schools that accept a lot of students — especially ones who didn’t do so well in high school — and they just give them a lot of loans, have nothing else to offer and those kids usually end up dropping out,” Sanon said.

Not so at Cornell, according to Sanon.

“Cornell and other Ivies and Ivy-like schools invest

you,” she said. “They care about their graduation rate and they care about you,” she said.

But attending an Ivy League institution does not eliminate all the struggles of being a student from a low-income household, Sanon said.

“If your parents are

A

merican cosmopolitans seem persuaded that, although President Donald Trump’s election has stalled their dominance, their main political opponent is not intellectually serious. Rather, only bigoted, troglodytic — “deplorable.” On this theory, Trumpism with the strands of conservatism abetting it, is not an idea, but the moribund gasping of those on the wrong side of history.

Maybe, maybe not. But at least Trump’s rise is a revolt against central tenets of social liberalism. Right-wing populism is a kind of nausea at the content, and also the arrogance, of our elite, liberal culture. And much of this nausea, I think, is basically justified.

Let’s start with campus politics.

The student left has become incapable of fathoming dissent. The disinvited campus speakers — Christine Lagarde, Madeline Albright, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Ray Kelly, etc. — many of whom are liberals, are known to all.

Their heresies include support for “imperialism,” “capitalism,” “the patriarch.” Outspoken political conservatives, especially in the Ivies and at small liberal arts colleges, are endangered. Maybe even extinct.

And for all this conviction, the student left lacks courage. Demands for safe spaces, for speech codes, for a “home” instead of a marketplace of ideas, do not simply demonstrate contempt for disagreement. They are childish. They show that those asking do not want to discuss or debate.

That is, they do not wish to learn from others. They merely wish to rule; and not only their campuses,

bureaucratic error — is euphemistic.

Illegal immigrants broke laws in coming here. Like everyone who breaks the law of a just society, they ought to be punished for it.

Now, there are often good reasons to immigrate illegally. Leniency and mercy are justified in such cases. But such generosity ought to be codified in the law, through the usual means.

In the immigration case, many liberals would be happy if the law just weren’t enforced. Many have endorsed “sanctuary cities,” whose officials do not cooperate with federal immigration officers, as if not sharing information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement were like resisting the Fugitive Slave Act. More generally, many liberals talk as if accepting millions of immigrants is a simple and obviously moral thing for a country to do. It’s certainly not the former, and maybe not the latter.

A free country requires national unity and trust. Unity is, first, civic unity, and assimilation means trading one civic and national identity, culture and language for another. That takes time and resources. Accustoming newcomers to current citizens, who by right ought to be the first concern of our leaders, is also difficult.

Everyone (including you, Yalie) trusts her family and friends more than she does strangers. The same principle naturally extends to one’s countrymen. But many liberal politicians speak as if those wishing to restrict immigration are just bigoted nativists. They seem less concerned with the opinions, sensibilities and culture of their own countrymen, to

Devout Christians and lower-class whites are often subjected to the last form of bigotry respected by educated people — and this on campuses equating “diversity” with “excellence.” This cocktail of conviction, cowardice and condescension is bound to poison American public life.

Most of these right-of-center, I imagine, are even more dumbfounded by what have become common liberal beliefs on immigration. It is unclear whether many liberal elites believe any restrictions at all on immigration are justified. Nor do they believe that those here illegally are to be penalized — witness Barack Obama’s grant of immunity to adults here illegally without a criminal record.

This last point relates to the infuriating refusal of many liberals to speak about immigration laws as they do about other laws. Calling adults who illegally cross our borders “undocumented immigrants”— as if their status were the result of a

whom they have patriotic obligations, than they do with those of foreigners.

It is now conventional wisdom that the populism on the Western right is a reaction, in part, to elites who seem to have and want to have more in common with other countries’ elites than they do with their own countries’ common folk. This populism manifests in ugly ways: the election of boors and bigots, restrictions on trade and suspicion of vulnerable groups. Which is a shame, because much of what liberal elites want — free trade, a robust, international language of human rights, democratic pluralism — is important. It would be better for such policies if advocates bridled their contempt for the teeming masses that the policies ought to be intended to help.

In the meantime, political nausea is the correct reaction. When elites view their countrymen as subjects, not citizens, elites merit neither power nor respect.

A Non-Muslim’s Perspective on Islam I

t has been many months since the end of Ramadan, the holy month of Islam. Here in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, expats who compose almost 90 percent of the population are left in despair as they face 120 degrees Fahrenheit heat, restaurants closed until 7 p.m. and roads filled with hasty drivers. During this month in which Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset in accordance with one of the five pillars of Islam, misunderstandings between Muslims and non-Muslims widen. Some Muslims get annoyed at some non-Muslims who disrespect their fasting by eating in front of them. Other non-Muslims are displeased by the fact that they are not to eat in public during Ramadan. However, rarely do these two groups communicate in terms of their respective perceptions on Islam and its practices. My concern is that when such misunderstandings even persist in an Islamic country, how many more misconceptions will there be in the United States where many only hear about Islam through news about ISIS or injustice for women in Saudi Arabia? That is why we most certainly need to have more open talks about Islam, as well as any other cultures that are considered foreign.

When I moved to the UAE three years ago, almost all of my friends told me to “be careful” simply because of the fact that I was a girl heading off to a Middle Eastern, Arab, Islamic country.

Even to this day when I tell my friends that I have never felt so safe before in any other country, they give looks of doubt or simply say that it’s probably because I’m living in the multicultural hub of Dubai. That’s partially true. I have come to realize that because people from more than a hundred different countries make Dubai the place of wonder that it is, it can’t help but be accepting of several cultures and backgrounds.

Even to this day, when I tell my friends that I have never felt so safe before in any other country, they give looks of doubt. realized that Dubai wouldn’t have been able to become the place that it is if the Islam that dominates the country was intolerant as many wrongfully assume it to be.

As ISIS makes headlines almost everyday with its terrorist attacks supposedly held in the name of Allah (God), Islamophobia has escalated in many parts of the Western world, if not the rest of the world. However, one must realize that although news about ISIS dominates the media, it most definitely does not dominate Islam. The other one and a half billion Muslims do not believe in such terrorist attacks. Time and time again Arab countries have deplored ISIS for wrongfully portraying Islam and have held airstrikes against IS militants.

What’s more, the hijab, a veil used by some Muslim women to cover their hair, has become a symbol of female oppression. To be clear, forcing the hijab is condemnable in all forms and is most certainly a way of limiting women from seeking basic freedom.

However, forcing women to abandon the hijab is also almost as inconsiderate. Many Muslim women prefer to wear the hijab because it is their belief that showing their hair to strangers is inappropriate. Those who choose to wear the hijab should have just as much freedom to do so as those who prefer not to, because it is a matter of personal choice: a basic right.

Moreover, the people who choose to preserve their faith in Islam deserve to be respected for their views, just like any other belief. Too often do Muslims get shunned for their apparently unconventional views. What would become of this world if we were all to preach the exact same values and beliefs?

In case you were wondering, I am not Muslim. Nor do I support ISIS or gender inequality in extremist sections of Islam. Nor do I oppose Christianity. I simply hope that before one goes against any culture or religion with preconceived notions, even if not in full agreement with all of its beliefs, one will try to look at it from different angles before being too quick to judge. I hope that my non-Muslim perspective on Islam, although not entirely comprehensive, will help you realize that issues on the religion need to be seen from a new light.

Sperm Tails Inspire Highly Efficient Enzyme Reaction Mechanism

By DARREN CHOW Sun Staff Writer

The very cells that created us may have a role in saving our lives.

Scientists have always been amazed by the energy production system in a sperm’s tail. The system drives flagellar movement and is extremely efficient, like a high-speed vehicle with a selfcharging system, independent of external energy sources.

Now, Cornell researchers are mimicking such a system in the hopes of advancing fields such as human and animal health. They hope to use their findings to create implantable medical devices that utilize blood sugar to make products as well as support in drug delivery.

“Mammalian sperm have highly efficient energy production systems in their tails,” said Chinatsu Mukai, a postdoc at Cornell’s Travis Lab of Reproduction, Nanotechnology and Conservation. “We have been studying this system and have been amazed at how nature creates such an efficient, reasonable and flawless system to drive flagellar movement.”

Inspired by this structure, the Travis Lab has engineered a system of 10 glycolytic enzymes tethered via oriented immobilization to nanoparticles.

Glycolytic enzymes are enzymes used in glycolysis, a process that creates energy

sperm model allowed us to tether these enzymes without interfering in their activities. Thus, they provided higher efficiency of making a final product compared to the enzymes in a non-tethered solution.”

Higher enzyme production can have numerous advantages.

“It takes less substrate and time to make a final product,” Mukai said. “In addition, these tethered enzymes are portable so any kind of material can be used for the tethering scaffold.”

Mukai admits that, due to differences in nature and man-made models, her work on tethered enzymes is incomplete.

“We haven’t completed the entire glycolytic pathway,” Mukai said. “One enzyme, triose phosphate isomerase, is still missing because the engineered enzyme didn’t work the way the nature model does.”

She explains that the path of future research depends on whether or not the missing enzyme can be replicated.

“We would like to find out how TPI is regulated in an actual cell so that we can complete the entire glycolytic pathway,” Mukai said. “This energy-producing pathway can be combined to any kind of biological reaction that needs energy.”

This isn’t what we expected.

Maybe if you attended Donald Glover’s PHAROS concert, or if you took him seriously when he said that this project would be completely different, you weren’t caught off guard. Though, for most of the casual listeners, the switch from hip-hop to soul/funk/R&B is an unprecedented move.

Since Paper Boi, a central character on Glover’s his hit television show, Atlanta, produced rap music, it seemed that Glover himself would continue on this path. Nevertheless, the decision to switch from his original genre didn’t result in a flop; rather, “Awaken, My Love!” is a masterful collection of Childish Gambino’s premier work.

Like the cover art, the album’s leading singles invoke an otherworldly mood through their surreal beats and fluctuating vocals. The hypnotic beginning of the opening track, “Me and Your Mama,” entrances the audience by its soporific tone.

However, a couple of minutes in, the song offers a startling yet pleasant transition into electric guitars and Glover’s shrieking voice. The vibe of the track mimics the vibe of the project in its entirety; a perfect blend of eccentricity and relaxation.

Another highlight is the album’s second single, “Redbone.”

The track separates itself from the rest of the pack through its catchiness, ease of listening and soulful tune. The groovy harmony crafted by the instrumentals complements the artist’s heartfelt performance.

But aside from the superior quality of the music, what does the album really say?

From examining his last two albums, CAMP and Because the Internet, it’s clear that Glover likes to weave grandiose themes into his work. While “Awaken, My Love!” may simply seem like an ode to Glover’s newborn son and an account of his relationship with the mother, the topics of the prior albums are not completely lost either. “Boogieman” deals with issues of police violence, which fits into CAMP’s unapologetic exploration of Glover’s own experiences with his ethnicity.

Additionally, the upbeat “California” deals with the complex connection between the internet and romance, a major theme of Because the Internet.

In a sense, the Awaken, My Love! is an older, more mature version of Chance the Rapper’s Coloring Book. Most of the songs on both albums, some more implicitly than others, either involve messages that involve the intricacies of fatherhood, reflections on current or past relationships or perspectives on certain aspects of the music industry. The main point of differentiation is the depth to which Gambino conveys his emotions. While less verbose than Chance, Gambino utilizes the clever mixture of concise words and funky beats to deliver small but potent messages. In “Zombies,” Gambino and Arkansas singer Kari Faux offer an interesting parallel between the titled creatures and an unknown group through chanting, “We’re coming out to get you / We’re all so glad we met you / We’re eating you for profit / There is no way to stop it.”

While the target of the song is never explicitly stated, the paparazzi and overzealous fans who try to creep their way into

Hamilton… a mere mention of its name opens a bevy of conversation. But really, what more can be said about the ten-dollar-bill founding father, that has not already been said? Lin ManuelZachary Lee Miranda’s Broadway behemoth already has a Grammy Award-Winning soundtrack that reached #1 on the Rap Albums chart (apparently the first cast album to ever do so), and its shows have been consistently sold out, with some re-sale tickets going upwards of $2,000. Yet Miranda’s involvement with recent films like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Moana, seemed to signal his departure from the musical. But surprise, surprise! On December 2, the versatile maestro unleashed The Hamilton Mixtape, a 23-track collection of covers and remixes of the original cast recording, as well as unreleased demos and some new material, all performed by guest artists such as Chance the Rapper, Nas, Sia, Alicia Keys, Usher, John Legend, Busta Rhymes, Wiz Khalifa, Regina Spektor, Jimmy Fallon the Roots and of course, Miranda himself. All of these artists provide their unique reinterpretation of the original lyrics of the album, and as a result, they expound upon the musical’s themes of perseverance, integrity and diversity, while also paying homage to the signature charm and aura of the original soundtrack. The result is an eclectic and electrifying project that diehard and new fans of the musical can enjoy.

The mixtape’s strength lies in its ability to tell a different version of the events that transpired in the musical. “Say Yes to This” provides an alternative account of Hamilton’s infidelity from the perspective of Mariah Reynolds. The original version saw Hamilton’s inner turmoil against rejecting Reynolds advances, but Jill Scott’s performance subverts the viewpoint; she sings with braggadocio and allure as she seductively tempts Alexander to be with her. It is unsettling and at the same time dangerously bewitching. While the original musical did not give much characterization to Reynolds, this rendition of the song deepens her character.

Likewise, with “Washingtons By Your Side,” Wiz Khalifa transforms the beat of the original song into a double-time contemporary rap track, complete with auto-tune elements and drums. Rather than speaking from Aaron Burr’s perspective, who was jealous of how George Washington always seemed to admire Hamilton, Khalifa speaks of his own life,

and muses that although it would have been nice to be born with more wealth (i.e. the “Washingtons” in this track referring to dollar bills) he was still able to achieve success without compromise. It’s a small little punny twist, but Khalifa faithfully commits to the concept, which gives the track instant replay value. Likewise, my favorite song on the original cast album was “Satisfied,” and the combined star power of Sia, Miguel and Queen Latifah embellish the themes of longing and desire beautifully. Sia’s croons the opening lines, and immediately sets a different ambience, opting for vehemently circular lyrical phrases, and a balanced combination of mid-range to high range octaves. She lingers on the notes, letting them trail off slowly rather than cutting them out quickly as if to further elaborate the resonating feelings that she has for her lover. Queen Latifah injects a sense of belligerence as she showcases frustration at her lover for not making advances. Miguel’s silky vocals likewise interplay well when he and Sia dialogue, and as a cohesive whole the trio works well to elevate the track from its historical context.

For those who want more of Miranda himself, a third Cabinet Battle song also makes its way on the mixtape, with Miranda debating over the ethics of slavery over a J. Cole “Tale of Two Cities” sounding beat. Compared to previous installments, the track is not as bombastic and much more stripped back and eerie, which further communicates the gravitas of its subject matter. Miranda likewise proves his further lyrical prowess on “Wrote My Way Out,” providing a visceral verse stating “I know Abuela’s never really gonna win the lottery / So it’s up to me to draw blood with this pen, hit an artery.” Nas also makes an appearance, and he and Miranda talk about how their quick wits and adept pen game got them out of dark situations. On the original cast album “My Shot” was an instant classic, and on the mixtape, while the main chorus is kept, three brand new verses from Black Thought, Joelle Ortiz and Busta Rhymes unanimously encourage individuals to not be lazy, but to rise up from the bleak situations they find themselves in.

But by far, the standout track “Immigrants (We Get the Job Done)”. K’naan, Snow Tha Product, Riz M.C. and Residente showcase the hardships and frustrations of being an immigrant in America, and the dual isolation of living in a country that blacklists them, while also being away from their families. They boldly make a case at how not only are immigrants necessary for the development and survival of America, but also reiterate how America was a nation of immigrants, and poignantly spell out the injustices against the indigenous peoples as well. All four artists provide blistering guest verses, with each 16 bar phrase being jammed

Glover’s personal life seem to perfectly embody the lyrics.

Deviating from that tone, “Baby Boy” explores Glover’s fear his complications with his girlfriend interfering with the relationship that he has with his newborn son. He glumly coos “Don’t take my baby boy/Don’t take my pride and joy,” expressing his disdain with his current situation while exposing his inability to change it himself.

So yes, that was unexpected. As a huge fan of Gambino, I was hoping too for another track list that contained a bunch of witty raps that make you do the equivalent of an aural double-take. But as a huge fan of Gambino, I also know that his talents are not limited to making timely puns. Throughout multiple mediums, he has exercised the ability to weave significant messages into his work. To belittle this new album for its deviation from the norm undermines the masterpiece that he and co-producer Ludwig Göransson created. Just as Taylor Swift’s decision to switch from being a country star to a pop sensation led to her creating some of her most popular works, Glover’s channeling of his soulful side led to his most artistic album yet. No other genre of music can fully project the shades of gloom and layers of vulnerability that Glover exhibits. Ultimately, Awaken, My Love! provides listeners with a funky view of the world through the eyes of the artist.

packed with complex rhyme schemes, lyrical punches, and double-entendres. Snow Tha Product spits what is possibly one of the illest lines of 2016, stating “You claim I’m stealing jobs though / Peter Piper claimed he picked them, he just underpaid Pablo / But there ain’t a paper trail when you living in the shadows.” Likewise, Residente (of Calle 13 fame) raps a verse is completely in Spanish, all the while retaining the same confidence and force as his peers. It’s one of the best moments of the song, and his lyrical dexterity is best shown through the line: “Nosotros Les Sembramos el árbol y ellos se comen la fruta,” critiquing once again the hypocrisy of American hostility towards immigrants. From the medium tempo to the incorporation of sound bites from this year’s election, the track is outstanding, and reminds a divided nation that we should not disparage immigrants who work hard and who have, in reality done so much for the nation.

The Hamilton Mixtape provides more of what fans of the musical have come to expect, and this is not necessarily a bad thing. Unlike the original soundtrack, the mixtape doesn’t tell a cohesive story, but it succeeds in its incorporation of contemporary artists to communicate the relevancy of its poignant themes. The project’s impressive guest list and assemblage of talent harkens back to the musical’s celebration of diversity, and Miranda proves once again that the story of Alexander Hamilton doesn’t just belong in the history books; there’s a lot more to be learned from this hero and a scholar.

New Dean Aims to Build Trust,Access Judge: Pot Odor Does Not Warrant Pedestrian Search inTompkins County DEAN

Continued from page 1

ing these times,” he said. “I hope to stay connected to those memories as I work with students at Cornell, so that I can be empathetic to what they are going through and make real connections that allow us to forge a new path.”

In addition to these personal and professional experiences, Pendakur’s background in educational research has also shaped his vision for his time at Cornell.

“Staying abreast of the research as a scholar-practitioner gives me hope … hope that in the face of complex, long-standing challenges to creating inclusive environments, that we have a myriad of pathways to improvement,” he said.

Pendakur outlined three specific goals he hopes to accomplish while serving as the Dean of Students at Cornell.

First, he wants to enhance Cornell’s commitments to diversity and inclusion by building strong partnerships with students, staff and faculty.

“This university has a storied commitment to access, stemming right from its egalitarian founding mission, and I am inspired to continue building on this legacy,” he said.

Second, he wants to be an advocate for students within the administration.

“As your Dean, I hope to be a liaison between students and various parts of the administration as we work together to transform the student experience,” he said.

Finally, he said he would like to help “create a cohesive, healthy and safe student experience at Cornell” by being a key member of Vice President for Student and Campus Life Ryan Lombardi’s leadership team.

According to Pendakur, the biggest difficulty for him as dean will be the complex, turbulent climate surrounding issues of human dignity, inclusion, free speech, and educational equity. He said these problems would challenge him in his new role but also offer an opportunity to lead by example.

“I am concerned about how we, as a campus community, can be an example for the rest of the country in the way we model civic exchange,” he said. “I hope that we Cornellians can find our way towards a model of inclusion that allows for the dignity of all of our students to be honored.”

Aside from his duties and responsibilities, Pendakur said he is also looking forward to having fun with students and getting to know them around campus, emphasizing the importance of engaging with students, respectfully listening to other points of view and compromising when forming plans and committing to sets of actions.

“When mutual trust is deepened through personal connections, students can bring concerns to me directly, knowing who I am and the commitment I bring to the table,” he said. “That’s how we’ll be able to affect long-lasting, positive change on this campus.”

WEED

Continued from page 1

In a thorough 8,000-word decision, Miller noted that the question “will arise again, especially in this college town,” and “law enforcement and civilians should be given clearer guidance on this issue.”

Brukner’s case is not analogous to police smelling pot during a vehicle stop, Miller said, because while it is a crime to drive under the influence of marijuana, “it is not a crime ... to smell, or even reek, of marihuana while standing in public.”

“An odor of stale or burnt marihuana on clothing, without more, is equally susceptible to the innocent non-criminal explanation that the Defendant smoked marihuana previously

in private, and not in public,” the judge wrote.

Attorney Max Brown, who represented Brukner in the case, said the county court’s decision is an important one, noting that President Donald Trump’s called for an increase in stopand-frisk policies by police during his campaign for president.

While the weed ruling only applies to Tompkins County, it could be cited by other counties and, if implemented elsewhere, could reduce racial profiling in cities like New York, Brown said, prohibiting police from stopping someone simply because they smell of pot.

Brown said the decision is an important but narrow one, joking that Cornell students should not read about the decision and think they can take bong rips out of car windows.

Many factors, such as visible smoke, could have led to a legal search. “[The decision] is really just saying that if you walk out of your apartment or dorm and reek of marijuana ... that's not enough,” Brown said.

District Attorney Matthew Van Houten told The Sun that he does not plan to appeal the decision, which, if the court agreed with Miller, would make the ruling applicable throughout New York.

“We have no intention of appealing it to a higher court,” he said. “We respect Judge Rowley’s decision affirming [Ithaca] City Court’s decision.”

Van Houten, who assumed

“Are you going to stop every kid who comes out of a Phish concert or every kid who comes out of a frat party at Cornell?”

Attorney Max Brown the role of district attorney on Dec. 30 and had no part in the appeal, said he thinks Miller’s initial ruling was the right call.

“I agree with it,” he said.

“The smell of marijuana on its own is only an indication that the person has committed something that is worthy of a ticket. You can’t detain someone for that level of offense.”

Brown said people should be polite when they are stopped by police, but it is also important that they know their rights.

Now, in most circumstances, pedestrians who are stopped by police in Tompkins County and smell like weed cannot be searched, as long as there is no evidence of a crime being committed.

“Are you going to stop every kid who comes out of a Phish concert or every kid who comes out of a frat party at Cornell?”

Brown said.

1967 Men’s Hockey Team to Return for 50th Anniversary

By CHARLES COTTON Sun Staff Writer

The historic 1967 Cornell men’s hockey championship team is returning to its old stomping grounds. Prominent members of the team, which earned the University its first NCAA championship in the sport, will celebrate its 50th anniversary at a reception on Saturday, Jan. 28th, one part of a weekend of festivities.

Legendary goaltender and NHL Hall of Famer Ken Dryden, co-captain Murray Deathe and 1967 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player Walt “Skip” Stanowski are expected to headline the group.

The hockey-filled weekend kicks off Friday afternoon when members of the 1967 team will join current head coach Mike Schafer ‘86 for a lunch in advance of the team’s matchup against Harvard, arguably the biggest and most highly-anticipated game of the season. The following day, the decorated alumni will have breakfast and watch the current team’s morning skate before the reception from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

The reception — which will be hosted by Cornell Athletics along with the Cornell Hockey Association — is open to the public. Tickets are available for $10, and the event will take place in room G10 of the Biotechnology Building.

Following the reception, the Red takes on another Ivy-foe in

Dartmouth at 7 p.m. in neighboring Lynah Rink. During the first intermission, the attending members of the 1967 team will be honored during a brief ceremony.

The 1967 team — led by longtime Cornell head coach Ned Harkness, who has since passed away — finished the championship season with a 25-1-1 record, won the ECAC tournament and defeated North Dakota and Boston University en route to the national championship. The NCAA title was not only the school’s first but also the first for any Ivy League institution in the sport.

While Dryden is one of the best goalies to ever play for Cornell, he is also regarded as one of the NHL’s all-time greats.

Dryden went on to play seven seasons for the Montreal Canadiens, earn five Vezina Trophies — which are awarded to the league’s top netminder — and see his legacy cemented with his jersey retired by the Canadiens along with his selection to the Hall of Fame in 1983.

He also earned his law degree at McGill and was elected to serve in the Canadian Parliament where he served multiple terms. Dryden’s No. 1 jersey number now forever hangs in the rafters of Lynah Rink as one of only two jerseys to have been retired by the Red. Charles Cotton can be reached at ccotton@cornellsun.com.

Grapplers Grab Wins Over Lehigh,Lock Haven

Red overcomes 17-3 deficit against Lehigh

By JACK KANTOR Sun Assistant Sports Editor

There was not much breathing room for Cornell wrestling over the weekend against Lehigh and Lock Haven, but after a handful of close matches and besting Lehigh by a single point, the Red picked up two more dual meet victories.

Cornell (8-2) found itself in an early hole Saturday against Lehigh (8-2).

Halfway through the match, the Red trailed Lehigh, 17-3, but Cornell found its way to defeat its EIWA rival, 21-20, “We beat Lehigh six out of the last seven years,” said head coach Rob Koll.

“This season they were expected to beat us. But it is always a heck of a match either way.”

A couple technical falls in the Red’s lighter weight classes put the team down by a significant margin by the time Dylan Palacio (165) took the mat. In a tight match, Palacio squeezed out a 3-2 victory over the Mountain Hawks’ Cole Walter, and the tables began to turn for Cornell.

“It was a tale of two halves with Lehigh,” Koll said. “We were down going into the intermission and came storming back and found a way to sneak that one out. When we were down 17-3, I thought our chances were slim at best.

The guys on the top [of the lineup] are as good as anyone in the country.”

But some of Cornell’s lighter wrestlers struggled to find success against Lehigh.

MEN’S HOCKEY

By CHARLES COTTON

After a successful three-point weekend, the Cornell men’s hockey team now sits alone in fifth place in the ECAC. The Red — who tied Clarkson and defeated St. Lawrence at home this weekend — plays all of its remaining games in the ECAC and will look to climb further in the rankings as it approaches the final stretch.

Of the 12 ECAC teams, only Colgate has played as few in-conference games as the Red, and if the teams were ranked in order of winning percentage, Cornell would sit in the three hole, behind only Union and St. Lawrence.

While students were on winter recess, all of the ECAC teams were in action, some continuing to play nearly every weekend of the break. There have been some statement wins and a few major upsets as well.

This past weekend, Brown beat Dartmouth on the road, Colgate topped Clarkson and

Yale salvaged a tie against Harvard.

However, the Crimson established itself as one of the league’s elite teams by defeating last year’s ECAC champion Quinnipiac.

However, Harvard then shockingly lost to RPI along with Union in consecutive nights.

Union is currently in first, and RPI is in the cellar with just two wins in thirteen league contests and a 4-21-1 overall record.

Union has lost just one game in league play — a 3-1 loss to Clarkson back in early November. The Dutchman have earned big wins over Harvard and Quinnipiac and are currently ranked number five in the nation.

Cornell will travel to Schenectady the weekend after next.

St. Lawrence — who is tied atop the standings with Union — boasts a 9-2-3 record in conference, good for 21 points. Key injuries have slowed the Saints down, however, as they have won just five out of their last ten.

St. Lawrence’s geographic rival, Clarkson, sits in sixth just

lose close with the heavyweight.”

On Sunday, Cornell returned home to take on Lock Haven in another dual meet. Cornell won by a more decisive margin, topping the Bald Eagles, 31-15, and extended its win streak against unranked opponents to 70.

But like the previous day, Cornell found itself in a tough spot early on. The Red only led 16-15, before heading into its final three matches.

Up first in the final three weight classes was Taylor Simaz (157), who forced a disqualification with his strong pressure.

Brandon Womack (165) followed with a win by decision, controlling his opponent to a 8-2 victory.

Realbuto finished the day off with his second fall for the weekend, winning in less than a minute. The senior used a pair of back throws to ensure victory, with the second resulting in a pin.

“Once again we knew what we had at the end of the lineup,” Koll said. “Although it was good for the crowd it — the match was exciting until the very end — we knew we had Brian anchoring us. We knew we would get bonus points there.”

Dean also found his second win-byfall for the weekend, pinning his opponent in less than 90 seconds in Sunday’s first match. The No. 1 wrestler at 184 improved to 22-0 on the season with 15 falls. 12 of Dean’s 15 falls have come in the first period.

Cornell’s third pin came from Baughman early in the third period of his match. The freshman’s win gave the lead back to the Red after having lost two straight at a key juncture in the meet.

behind Cornell but has stuck around all season. In addition to being the only ECAC team to take down Union, they also have wins over ranked teams like Vermont and UMass-Lowell.

Yale and Dartmouth are next at 7 and 8, respectively. Yale has been playing better hockey as of late and has not lost since early January. The Bulldogs won the Ivy League last year and finished second in the ECAC, but has had its struggles without All-

American goaltender Alex Lyon, who graduated last spring.

Colgate, Princeton, Brown and RPI round out nine through 12 in the league. The Raiders have lost several close games this year, Princeton took two straight from Quinnipiac and RPI beat Union handily. Clearly, anything can happen in this league.

At this point in the season, each team is only playing ECAC games, and every weekend can alter the standings quite a bit.

The season runs until late February, so there is plenty of time left to make up some ground.

Only time will tell who is holding this year’s trophy in Lake Placid, New York at the end of the annual ECAC tournament come March. For Cornell, they’ll just have to take it one game at a time.
