S.A.Determines Budget Surplus Plan Only Days Before Activity Fee Vote

By GABRIELLA LEE Sun News Editor

Even though 16 of the 27 organizations funded by the undergraduate Student Activity Fee received either no increase or a decrease in allocations for the 2016-18 funding cycle, the Student Assembly still voted 23-1-0 on Dec. 3 to recommend an overall Student Activity Fee increase $236 per student to “There has never been a from $241 per student. discussion on how the President Elizabeth Garrett, who accepted the S.A. allocates it surplus allocation recommendation publicly.”

Dec. 15, will now recommend $241 as the undergraduate Shivang Tayal ’16 Student Activity Fee to the Board of Trustees during the board meeting this week.

If the allocation recommendation is approved by the trustees, the S.A. will receive an increase from $1.90 to $2 per student. However, less than two weeks before the S.A. was required to vote on the final Student Activity Fee recommendations for the 2016-2018 funding cycle on Dec. 4, the S.A. still had not determined how it would spend its approximately $40,000 surplus.

Chapter House Rebuilding Is Only One Approval Vote Away

By JEANETTE SI Sun Staff Writer

Rebuilding the Chapter House is expected to begin early February if the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission approves final designs today.

The latest iteration of the Chapter House design, which will be presented this evening, features a red brick exterior with black trim and bluestone on the street-facing side of the building to mimic some of the defining aesthetics of the old Chapter House. The building will also be re-leveled to help wheelchair accessibility.

At the meeting, the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission is expected to give the Chapter House architects and management full clearance from the City of Ithaca to break

ground on the rebuilding efforts of the historic structure.

“In [November], they began applying for a certificate of appropriateness for the reconstruction of the Chapter House building,” said Bryan McCracken, the city’s historic preservation planner.

According to McCracken, the architects behind the rebuilding had received clearance to demolish the old building last summer to make room for their new renovations. Last November, he said, they had met with the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission to receive feedback on their early designs for the new Chapter House.

“They are applying [now] for the final approval of their proposed design for the building,” See CHAPTER HOUSE page 4

Klarman Hall Opens After Two Years of Construction

By JOSH GIRSKY Sun Staff Writer

After nearly two years of construction, Klarman Hall opened its doors on Jan. 19, becoming the first new humanities building to be built on the Arts Quad in over 100 years. Its construction cost $61 million, funding which was raised through philanthropy, according to the University.

Adjoining Goldwin Smith Hall, Klarman Hall is home to the Department of Romance Studies, housing some members of the Department of Comparative Literature and the advising and admissions offices for the College of Arts and Sciences.

Many members of the romance studies department, who moved from Morrill Hall, said they were excited to work in more modern offices.

“My office at Klarman is great,” said Prof.

Gerard Aching, romance studies. “The one I had in Morrill was on the top floor and had a round window, so that it was impossible to find an appropriate air-conditioning unit for it. Also, the gaps around the window allowed cold air in during the winter. Not optimal.”

In addition to more modern offices, Klarman Hall also features an environ-

mentally friendly design.

“The building has been designed to achieve a Platinum LEED rating and generates electricity through a roof-mounted array of photovoltaic panels,” said Gilbert Delgado, the University architect.

Several faculty members praised the central atrium, which is a designated space for both formal and informal gatherings.

“It’s an uplifting, light-filled space to walk through and hang out in; all of us will appreciate that,” said Prof. Scott MacDonald, philosophy, senior associate dean for arts and humanities in arts and sciences. “But it’s also perfect for more intentional gatherings — receptions, talks, readings, performances — things that add richness and variety to our intellectual life and that bring us together outside the classroom and lab. I think it will become a kind of hub or forum at the center of the college.”

The glass-enclosed atrium will be “particularly See KLARMAN page 4

Cornell to Receive $150K Grant From Walmart

By GABRIELLA LEE Sun News Editor

Cornell will receive approximately $150,000 through a U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Fund grant this year, the Walmart Foundation and the U.S. Conference of Mayors announced Monday.

The grant, which was awarded to Cornell for its “no-waste apparel design and production process that utilizes post-consumer textile waste,” is part of $2.84 million that five universities will collectively receive in 2016 for their work domestic manufacturing development by

“Through these grants we hope to help remove the barriers to revitalizing and growing U.S. apparel manufacturing, while creating more sustainable production processes,” said Kathleen McLaughlin, president of the Walmart Foundation and chief sustainability officer for Walmart.

“The U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Fund is part of Walmart and the Walmart Foundation’s broader commitment to foster new economic growth and opportunity and cre-

It is not clearly stated in the S.A. charter or bylaws whether discussion and planning of the spending of S.A. money, which stems in large part from undergraduate tuition, constitutes a policy determination or a confidential matter.

While the appropriations committee is chaired by Matthew Stefanko ’16, S.A. vice president of finance, a nonS.A. member of the appropriations committee chaired the committee during discussions regarding the S.A.’s funding, according to Tayal.

They still have to get final approval from the building division, but that’s from the technical aspect of it — if it’s designed to current building code.”

Since the Chapter House is located within a historic district in the City of Ithaca, both the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Planning and Development Board are working with the Chapter House team to review designs and grant clearance.

If their proposal is accepted, the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission will grant the Chapter House rebuilding team a Certificate

of Appropriateness which allows them to move forward past the planning and design stage of the project. McCracken added that the architects and builders may decide when they want to begin construction, but that it must take place within a two year period from the time the certificate is given.

“Once a project is approved by the Landmarks Commission, they have two years to start and complete the project. I don’t see it taking anywhere near that long for this project to [complete],” McCracken said. “They have two years to complete the work that was proposed and approved.”

Obama Announces Solitary Confinement Ban for Juveniles

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Monday he will ban the use of solitary confinement for juvenile and low-level offenders in federal prisons, citing the potential for “devastating, lasting psychological consequences” from the use of the isolation as punishment.

“It has been linked to depression, alienation, withdrawal, a reduced ability to interact with others and the potential for violent behavior,” Obama wrote in an op-ed posted Monday evening on The Washington Post's website. “Some studies indicate that it can worsen existing mental illnesses and even trigger new ones. Prisoners in solitary are more likely to commit suicide, especially juveniles and people with mental illnesses.”

Obama asked the Justice Department to review the use of solitary confinement last summer, as part of the administration's increased focus on the criminal justice system. Activists have been pushing for changes to the prison system.

The department review yielded a series of recommendations and 50 “guiding principles,” which officials said would aim to ensure solitary confinement was an increasingly rare punishment used as an option of last resort when inmates posed a danger to staff, other inmates or themselves.

Interim Chancellor Rejects Calls for Resignation Of Missouri Prof Accused of Accosting Journalist KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — An interim chancellor on Monday rebuffed demands for the ouster of an assistant University of Missouri professor that have been rekindled in the wake of her being criminally charged for a campus run-in with student journalists during protests.

Hank Foley, who oversees the four-school system’s campus in Columbia, said the university “must allow due process to play out” and will not rush when it comes to determining Melissa Click's future at the school, including a decision on tenure.

“For those of you calling for hasty action, I say that we have good, strong processes in place,” Foley said at a news conference.

Click, 45, was charged with misdemeanor assault earlier Monday. The assistant communications professor faces up to 15 days in jail and a fine up to $300 if convicted. The charge is related to a confrontation she had with a student photographer and a student videographer in November during protests over what some saw as indifference to racial issues.

Click called for “some muscle” to help remove

the videographer, Mark Schierbecker, from the protest area on the Columbia campus.

Schierbecker’s video of the run-in went viral, and he complained to university police.

The confrontation came the same day the university system's president and the Columbia campus’ chancellor resigned.

Click later said publicly that she regretted her actions, and that she apologized to Schierbecker and all journalists and the university community for detracting from the students’ efforts to improve the Columbia campus’ racial climate. Foley said Monday that Click “is quite aggrieved by this,” and he called her legal troubles the result of a “moment of heated anger.”

When asked about the prospect of Click being fired before her tenure process is completed later this year, Foley replied: “No. Not going to happen.”

Click did not respond to an email seeking comment Monday. Her university phone’s voicemail was full and not accepting messages, and her home number was disconnected.

Michigan Prosecutor Investigates Contamination of Flint’s Drinking Water; Faces Impartiality Concerns LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan’s attorney general named a former prosecutor on Monday to spearhead an investigation into the process that left Flint’s drinking water tainted with lead, though Democrats questioned whether the special counsel would be impartial.

Republican Bill Schuette said Todd Flood, a former assistant prosecutor for Wayne County, which includes Detroit, will lead the probe and be joined by Andy Arena, a retired head of Detroit's FBI office.

Schuette said the two would play key roles in the investigation and prevent conflicts of interest since the attorney general’s office also defends the state. Both will report to Schuette, who promised they would provide an “experienced and independent review of all the facts and circumstances.”

He dismissed any concerns about Flood, who is now in private practice and has donated to candidates from both parties, including the maximum allowable amount to Schuette.

“I don’t care who he (Flood) has given money to, Republican (or) Democrat. It doesn’t matter,” Schuette said. “This is about con-

ducting a thorough, exhaustive, complete investigation. That’s what we’re doing.”

It is unclear at this point if the probe could result in criminal or civil charges. The investigation could focus on whether environmental laws were broken or if there was official misconduct in the process that left Flint’s drinking water contaminated.

Flood mostly declined to discuss which laws may have been broken, except to note there are prohibitions against misconduct by public officials. He said “a plethora of laws” potentially could be used to charge someone.

Schuette gave no timetable for the investigation.

Flint switched from Detroit’s municipal water system while under emergency state financial management and began drawing from the Flint River in 2014 to save money, but the water was not properly treated. Residents have been urged to use bottled water and to put filters on faucets.

Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has been a focus of criticism, but Schuette said political affiliations would not be a factor there either.

Marco Rubio Visits Iowans Before Approaching Lead-Off Caucus

MAX WHITTAKER / THE NEW YORK TIMES

Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) speaks at a campaign event at Grinnel College in Iowa Monday.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Marco Rubio is all over the map in Iowa. Quite literally.

Having spent little time in the state’s rural Christian conservative northwest, the Republican presidential candidate dropped in to Sioux County for the first time on a solo campaign trip last week, then bounced across the state two days later to speak with some of Iowa’s more fiscally conservative voters in the east.

“I’m going to trust that he

knows what he’s doing,” state Rep. John Wills, who supports Rubio, said after his campaign stop at the Christian Dordt College in GOPrich Sioux Center. “I hope he gets the chance to get up here again.

Northwest Iowa is where you win.”

Rubio began an uninterrupted nine-day run Saturday ahead of Iowa’s lead-off caucuses next Monday. His itinerary includes college towns, larger cities and rural outposts.

How Not to Create A Business (College) LAST MONTH, THE UNIVERSITY EXPRESSED ITS INTENTION to create a College of Business, comprised of programs from the School of Hotel Administration, the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management. The announcement resulted in a significant outcry from alumni and faculty, who cited the lack of input given on many of the details of the structure of the new college. In light of these concerns, we urge the Board of Trustees to table the vote on the College of Business until Cornellians are given the opportunity to engage with the administration on the details of the college.

The University intends for the new unified college to integrate students and faculty in Cornell’s business programs and to become “a world-class center of teaching, research and engagement for business management and entrepreneurship.” In the college’s initial announcement, made without fanfare and during the exam period, very few details were revealed about the structure of the college. Instead, President Elizabeth Garrett said she hopes the Board of Trustees will formally recognize the new administrative unit before the University engages “deeply with all the involved constituencies” on the details surrounding the college.

The manner in which the University introduced the proposed College of Business proves detrimental to the shared governance system touted by administrators. By announcing the intention to dramatically change a major component of undergraduate academics for many students at the conclusion of the semester, the administration essentially decreased the ability of students and faculty to offer input before the matter is taken to the Board of Trustees.

Additionally, numerous Cornellians have expressed their outrage over the proposed creation of a new college, threatening to divest their donations from the University’s endowment if the Board of Trustees approves the new college. Although the administration and Trustees are charged with making long-term decisions about the University, the threats of alumni should not be taken lightly. Many of these concerns are exacerbated by the wealth of misinformation and lack of details over the new proposed college, which could likely be resolved had administrators engaged with Cornellians about the proposed college in the first place.

The administration’s decision last month, we believe, ultimately damages the trust many alumni hold in those running their alma mater. There is no doubt that potential exists for a College of Business, in some form, could prove beneficial for the University in the long run. However, creating a major administrative unit to enact such a major change before a constructive dialogue among Cornellians about how the college should be implemented proves detrimental.

Lost in Translation

espite a few cancelled flights and a missed bus here and there, I did make it back to campus a couple days early. I am convinced there is no better feeling in the world than the one that washes over you as the bus rolls up College Ave and you can see a now-closed Stella’s next to the brightly lit up 7-Eleven. “Yes,” says my brain. “Five and a half hours have been completed. The end is in sight. I’m coming for you, dorm room twin bed.”

What is always unclear to me is what happens after. What happens after we go through the motions of dragging a suitcase into our room, unpacking, meeting everyone we could not wait to see over winter break — once I’m unpacked, showered and rested, what do I do for three days on a campus that never stops to let you breathe for more than a couple hours at a time?

This year, it was a movie with friends.

Creative, yes, I know. We put about as much thought into our plans as we did into the genre of the movie we would watch. Popcorn and copious amounts of boba in hand, we set out to combat the process of picking a romantic comedy to watch. Would it be our girl, Bridget Jones, documenting the various ways in which she sets out to self destruct but somehow ends up okay (a clear metaphor for just about everyone's time at

Cornell)? Or would it be my least favorite 13year old, Jennifer Garner and those incredibly rough curlers she felt the need to sport for what felt like literally half the movie (if you can't tell, 13 Going On 30 was not even close to my first choice of romcom for the night)?

Our choice, rather, was a Bollywood romcom — one about the intricacies of Indian families and their kids, as shown by sticking them all in a place from which they cannot run: a cruise.

Unfortunately, I too was stuck in a place from which I couldn't run throughout the course of the movie.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I love the above described movie. It's one of my absolute favorites. I could watch it every other week, curled up with popcorn and Nutella. The only difference is, in my mind, I’m alone in bed with popcorn and Nutella and I’m experiencing this movie all by myself. Watching with friends was an entirely different experience, one filled with discomfort and anxiety over sharing my culture and opening up part of my life I choose to usually keep very separate from the life I have at school.

It was an interesting experience. I squirmed every time an elaborate song came on, I giggled awkwardly every time someone spoke English with a strong accent and, by the end of the twoand-a-half-hour movie, I got over my uncomfortable attitude towards having my friends peek into a different part of my life. I truly enjoyed sharing what I mistakenly believed should be kept to myself.

Car and Driver

ompared to the smooth wine of Formula 1, rallying is harsh and jagged. Taking place on closed public roads over a number of ‘stages’, it is far from the pristine tarmac of its more refined brethren. On surfaces ranging from sand to snow, drivers thread their cars along forest tracks and through village alleys at bowelloosening speeds. Tight corners and loose surfaces at high speeds made accidents inevitable. Long stages and remote locations made crash recovery difficult. Despite these factors, small engines and production requirements kept accidents un common and manageable.

In 1982, the F é d é r a t i o n Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA) introduced Group B, a new class which removed many restrictions from rally cars. Group B had no regulations controlling a car’s power output, and between 1981 and 1986 engine power climbed from 250bhp to over 500bhp. Weight reductions and the development of four-wheel drive, pioneered by Audi’s Quattro A1, poured more fuel on the fire.

This technological development was driven by lower vehicle production requirements. Group B mandated only that eligible cars be produced to 200 vehicles per 12 months, far fewer than equivalent classes in the past. Such a low threshold allowed manufacturers to produce a costlier vehicle and to race, arguably, a ‘purer’ rally car.

All the deregulation of the 1980s laid the foundation for rallying’s golden age.

Drivers loved this brave new world. Ari Vatenen, one of the many Finns who have dominated rallying, likened racing a Group B car to being in a jet launching from an aircraft carrier. In carbon-kevlar shells capable of reaching 60mph in under three seconds, he can’t have been far off. “Driving is like music, it takes you. But you need a good piano. And Group B was a fantastic piano,” he said.

FISA had little understanding of quite what they had created with Group B. Rally car racing was moving into uncharted territory.

Despite the governing body’s fog, manufacturers grasped the opportunity and seized upon the promotional value of a winning rally car.

By helping sell more road cars, Group B sculpted the Quattro into a 1980s icon and gave Peugeot a foothold out of financial ruin. The hope that production cars would capture some of rallying’s magic was strong among companies and

The S4, supercharged and turbocharged, with a Finn behind the wheel, distilled the essence of unrestrained, Group B rallying.

However, the combination proved to be too volatile. Toivonen and codriver Sergio Cresto were killed after they missed a corner and the S4 dove into a ravine.

Why the car left the road is unknown. There were no witnesses to the crash and the car was destroyed by fire. What is known, and what was known by everyone involved, is that the S4’s design

Why the car left the road is unknown.

There were no witnesses to the crash and the car was destroyed by fire. their customers. As sales drove investment, drivers raced ever faster cars and drew ever larger crowds. Despite all the money in rallying, safety was a decidedly low priority. Fans would crowd onto hairpin bends and blind crests to catch sight and sound of their idols. Spectators stood so close as to frequently be clipped by cars going sideways. The Portuguese had a special reputation for trying to touch the cars as they sped past.

Fast cars and eager fans mixed with sometimes lethal results. In 1986 during a Rally de Portugal stage, Joaquim Santos crashed his Ford RS200 into spectators, killing two children and a woman and injuring thirty-two. While speed and Santos’ inexperience were undoubtedly factors in the crash, he lost control after swerving around a spectator who, like countless others, stood in the path of the car. Uninjured but in shock, Santos did not move, sitting with his head bowed over the steering wheel.

Later that season, Henri Toivonen, eager to prove that the new Lancia Delta S4 could win on Corsican tarmac, opened up a minute’s lead during the Tour de Corse. Despite feeling unwell, Toivonen held on and broke the Stage 17 record by three minutes.

dictated that the fuel tank be situated beneath the front seats. The tank’s underside lacked a gravel guard due to the asphalt surface.

Trees in the ravine punctured it and the tank exploded. Toivonen and Cresto died in their seats.

Rally drivers and their cars have always held a special mystery. In the words of Michèle Mouton, rallying is about finding “the limit of the car and yourself.” Car and driver converge, the risk and the seeker, never touching but occasionally crossing over into the other’s domain. After which point, as Walter Röhrl put it, “the car is driving with him and not he with the car.”

The fine line between car and driver was the territory of men like Toivonen and Röhrl. Those who veered off reminded us that idols, too, are mortal. Those who kept their balance created an escape that led to a place of dreams and danger, those hidden figures just around the next corner. “It’s up to you to decide what’s the definition of that,” said Ari Vatenen. “Is it crazy or… what else?”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Anomalisa Gets UnderYour Skin in Unexpected Ways

BY MARK DISTEFANO Sun Staff Writer

“What is it to be human?” asks the voiceover in the trailer for Anomalisa. “What is it to ache, what is it to be alive? Each person you speak to has had a childhood. Each has a body. Each body has aches. Look for what is special about each individual.

Focus on that.” The trailer is wildly misleading. While it suggests a happy, effervescent tone reminiscent of Her, especially when set to the tune “Just Like a Dream” by Lykke Li, the film itself is actually about a man fundamentally and tragically unable to do just that — distinguish between individuals. It is actually a retrogressive, surrealist horror film about the waking nightmare doldrums of our daily lives. I admire this film immensely but I cannot say I was deeply moved or affected by it. Nonetheless, I was very much impressed by its ingenuity, ambition, and structure, which are hallmark characteristics of a Charlie Kaufman film.

Instead of dealing with the questions raised in the trailer, the film asks what happens when one becomes nearly unable to recognize the humanity in others. The answer: hell. A very monotonous, mundane, boring hell. The movie so successfully creates this aura that even at 90 minutes it becomes a slog. Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight feels shorter. This is another obstacle to one’s enjoyment of the film, but if you are able to appreciate why the filmmakers are trying to make you feel deliberately uncomfortable, you will not mind. Kaufman and his codirector, Duke Johnson, are not out to entertain you in this Kickstarter-funded animated film. They are out to make you feel the burden and inertia and malaise that chokes us when we are at our lowest ebb on a daily basis. I was always checking my watch, but still there was brain candy aplenty on screen, and my interest remained intact.

The movie concerns the overnight stay in Cincinnati — bthough it could be any generic American town — of one Michael Stone, an English hospitality services drone. Voiced beautifully by David Thewlis, the character recalls the actor’s aimless yet deep London drifter from Mike Leigh’s Naked.

Michael is to give a lecture at a conference on consumer satis-

faction, and tries to engage in a desperate affair with a girl who he dumped many years ago. This is an effort to pump some much-needed excitement into his pulseless life. Something strange you’ll notice shortly into the film: Every single supporting character has the same voice. All are portrayed by Tom Noonan, and represent the identically dull tones which all people sound like to Michael. This is a brilliant conceit which does not make things easier on the audience. In fact it makes it easy for us to regard every character on screen with the same disdain and annoyance Michael does.

Then into Michael’s life tumbles an anomaly: another woman, Lisa, actually no more than a goofy fangirl of his work.

She treats him with disproportionate admiration and is so selfdeprecating she is easy to manipulate. Voiced by Jennifer Jason Leigh, she is yet still a warm and inviting soul and one cannot blame Michael when he falls desperately in love with her. There is a protracted puppet sex scene with a miniature prosthetic penis, in which the film frighteningly uses the Uncanny Valley effect to its advantage. The trouble is, soon Lisa’s little tics, neuroses, and peccadillos get in the way of Michael’s fervent adoration for her and prevent him from enjoying her markedly tactile voice. The honeymoon period is over mighty quick — after only one night — for poor Michael. He cannot seem to make any sort of magic or romanticism last, and soon has to return to his dopey wife and kid in the morning, both of whom he considers nothing more than a nuisance.

Reading up on the almost exclusively glowing reviews of the film, I discovered a clue which helped me unlock the central motif. The name of the hotel where Michael stays is called the Al Fregoli. Kaufman, a screenwriter with the mind of a Freudian psychologist, tends to embed many layers of, well, psychology in his settings and characters, and “Fregoli” refers to a specific delusion. Knowing this is critical to unraveling the movie’s game plan, so take a minute and Wikipedia it.

There are two camps when it comes to film criticism, as far as I am concerned: the intellectual branch and the emotional branch. Some appreciate a film more for its merits: acting, writing, construction, set design, etc., whereas I tend to view the best films as instruments to elicit strong emotional responses.

The best films in my mind are the ones that provoke those

exhilarating responses and play your heart like a violin — like Her. Anomalisa does not do that, but it does precisely what it means to. It is exceedingly effective at creating a suffocating atmosphere of nothingness, and scares you into putting some goddamn meaning into your ordinary humdrum life. Other movie characters have undergone these trials with more emotionally satisfying results (Lester Burnham in American Beauty), but unfortunately for Michael Stone, he is irredeemable.

He is a quirk in the rigidity of proper “official” behavior exhibited by Thomas Walsingham or other important figures with whom he must interact, just as his works break the confines of poetic norms contemporary to his time. Historically, Marlowe is the famous influence of Shakespeare, a fact symbolized in Shakespeare's character.

Like Marlowe, Shakespeare is different from the figures around him and combats societal norms through a humorous and witty approach to various interactions. Shakespeare, however, is much more conscientious and tamed in the way he conducts himself with others, and even appears timid when facing the initial danger of his mission. Yet, as Marlowe and Shakespeare face the hardships of infiltrating the Gunpowder Plot (neither playwright knows of the other’s actions or whereabouts), their personalities converge, leading to the meeting between the two writers in the Globe Theatre and their first embrace since 1593.

License to Quill is crafted around historical facts of the playwrights’ lives. Due to the proliferation of espionage during Shakespeare and Marlowe’s time, much is known about the two writers, and indeed, Quercia presents a significant quantity of footnotes as proof of consulted documents. In approaching the time period in the style of a modern spy thriller, Quercia brilliantly animates and explains the figures and events that occurred hundreds of years ago.

Additionally, many allusions to Shakespeare’s works are present in the novel. For example, Bianca, a fictional spy and former love interest of Shakespeare, is referred to as the “Dark Lady.” This is a reference to Shakespeare's sequence of sonnets — 127 to 154 — that address an assumed lover of the poet, whose identity is unknown. Furthermore, in the novel, Guy Fawkes tasks Shakespeare with writing a play that would become Macbeth. In reality, Shakespeare did write this play around and possibly as result of the Gunpowder Plot. Jacopo della Quercia’s License to Quill is a highly entertaining spy thriller, complete with vivid characterization and creative depictions of a significant and infamous chapter in European history.

Daughter

Not to Disappear Glassnote

O TE S T S P I N S O

O Jessie Weber This past weekend, I spent a period of about 24 hours intermittently watching snow plaster itself against the homes and roads of the neighborhood I grew up in. The sky was a constant, distant grey that seemed to feed off of the continuous snowfall instead of starving from it.

Standing outside, leaning against a shovel with drenched gloves and hearing the crackle of ice shifting in my hair as I lifted my gaze, I stared straight into the sky and could find no single trace of sunlight.

We don’t get snowfall like this too often in SouthCentral Pennsylvania; by the time you clear to the end of your driveway, the other end is drowning under inches of snow again. Crossing the street becomes an all-day affair.

Amazon shut down its factory on Saturday. By the time the snow had reached 20 inches, I was listening to the only band that felt appropriate to match the bleak yet exquisite landscape.

In their 2013 album If You Leave, the three artists who make up the band Daughter created a space that was both feeble and quite strong through its sense of futility. This is a band that knows how to draw you in and hold you close, whether it’s what you want or not.

Say what you will, you can’t listen to “Smother” and not feel that strong twinge of guilt that inspires some kind of self-pity and remorse, even if you have no logical reason to feel it. Elena Tonra’s personally written and personal lyrics, are both passive and seductive, leading and

empty when sung in her haunting voice. The muted sorrow of Igor Haefeli’s guitar and Remi Aguilella’s deliberately aimless drumming don’t cease to insist that you follow her through her memories of recent and remote sorrows.

But compared to their previous album, Not to Disappear ventures several layers deeper. Released on January 15, this is an album suited for a winter storm like Jonas, which drives immense distances between people simply by the methodical piling up of miniscule building blocks from the ground level. It still has all the same soft calls of angst; the line “I don’t want to belong / to you / to anyone” in the aptly titled “To Belong” is repeated until you can’t ignore it anymore. And once more there are the sorrowful lilts in Tonra’s vocals — “And when it’s dark / I’ll call out in the night for my mother / But she isn’t coming back for me / Cause she’s already gone” — which echo towards the recesses of your thoughts until you can’t shake them out. But the weight of this album is different. It calls for more attention as you listen to it, it calls out not just sorrowfully but also angrily this time. “Alone / With You” and “No Care” sound like drunken masterpieces trying to pirouette across a stage.

With these two songs, more than with any of the others in the album, Tonra’s emotions seem far more aligned with Simple Plan than with the typical indie-folk type,

O

O

O

but the band still manages to express them in a way that strikes one as being part of a wholly natural progression from older songs like “Youth” and “Shallows.”

The beauty of this album is not simply that it’s an evolved continuation of their previous releases, but that it so seamlessly provides a window into an internal dialogue that flutters, rages, ebbs, sputters and ultimately spins off into the distance, murmuring, “You’ll find love, kid, it exists,” in spite of the immense void you’ve suddenly found yourself sitting in. I recommend Not to Disappear to anyone who isn’t currently scrolling through Spotify to find some pre-made playlist for finding your inner Miami Beach vibe — if that’s you, then you probably want to transfer to a different school anyway. If you do feel up to it, then definitely give this album a spin, but make sure you have the heat cranked up and a picture of your dog somewhere close at hand, because it’s an emotional ordeal. You eventually begin to internalize these songs in a visceral way, and can’t help but question whether perhaps you’re destined to blunder up and down some icy driveway, bent over the weight of your shovel but finding that each time you look behind you, your work has been erased by the drifting down of something new to be cleared.

I imagine some people who adopt this resolution will have a similar experience. Perhaps they will realize that they are reading little and only seeing subpar films. And maybe this list will encourage them to try to change that (I recognize that films and books are less financially burdensome and more convenient than theater, but tickets for Cornell student productions are very cheap.) Or maybe they’ll realize that they are averaging over fourteen movies a week, and

There is so much powerful art out there and I look forward to being able to look at my list at the end of next year.

I imagine that the list will make me less passive as writing it down reminds me of what I’ve just consumed. In other words, while this list doesn’t dictate a change in behavior, perhaps it will inspire me to change in 2017. Of course people should cater what they are cataloging according to their interests. I know some people who see every concert they can, others who attend a comedy show almost weekly. It’s a resolution that is achievable, tangible, and hopefully rewarding when December 31 comes along. So far it’s been interesting to see some of the contrasts in what I’ve been consuming — this year in movies has kicked off with The Danish Girl, Creed and It’s Complicated. I am already looking forward to my complete list and seeing what pieces of art will define my 2016.

Kroenke, Deception and the NFL SHATZMAN

Continued from page 16

effective immediately. Stan Kroenke had not spoken publicly about the Rams since 2012. His lack of transparency suggests that he bought the Rams with the intention of moving to the team back to Los Angeles, where the Rams played from 1946 to 1994.

He and his associates worked behind the scenes, preparing a plan for relocation, never once addressing St. Louis or Rams’ fans. Ultimately he emerged from the shadows for some celebratory words in Los Angeles, to fans who, to Kroenke, are nothing more than ticket stubs and jersey sales. Bryan Burwell knew what was coming. But in order for Kroenke to execute his relocation plan, he would have to receive the approval of the NFL — a league that, over the course of the relocation process, proved itself to be corrupt.

The NFL is to organizations what Stan Kroenke is to human beings.

Article 4.3 of the NFL Constitution and Bylaws states, “… no club has an ‘entitlement’ to relocate simply because it perceives an opportunity for enhanced club revenues in another location.” Section A of the league’s Policy and Procedures for Proposed Franchise Relocations affirms that, “…clubs are obligated to work diligently and in good faith to obtain and to maintain suitable stadium facilities in their home territories.” When the league and franchise owners approved the Rams’ move to L.A., the policies stated in the league constitution were blatantly disregarded. So, then, why have a league constitution at all? The St. Louis Stadium Task Force, established to work in “good faith” with the NFL to ensure the Rams’ future in St. Louis, proposed a viable stadium plan. The plan included $400 million of public funding from St. Louis, which would have been the “… 5th highest public contribution in the history of the NFL.” The Rams’ application to move to L.A., authored by Kroenke’s people, is full of statements that are utterly incorrect.

These falsehoods are addressed in detail in the ‘Response to Rams Application to Relocate to Los Angeles,’ authored by the Stadium Task Force.

Kroenke’s insistence that St. Louis cannot support the

Rams is simply not true. From 2007-2011, the Rams’ 15-65 record was the worst five-year stretch by a team in NFL history. During that span, the Rams’ Edward Jones Dome was 89 percent full on average, including 95 percent full in 2007. This was in the worst span by a team in NFL history, mind you. In Major League Baseball, St. Louis has been ranked second in attendance each of the last three seasons. Cardinals’ fans are widely considered to be the best in baseball. But according to Kroenke, St. Louis cannot support an NFL franchise, despite no evidence to back such a claim, and a plethora of evidence to argue otherwise. In fact, the statistics show just how faithful Rams’ fans were during a period of unprecedented losing. Rams’ attendance over the last ten years in St. Louis was greater than the Rams final ten years in Los Angeles — 1984-1994. Despite far fewer wins in St. Louis and a much smaller city and overall smaller market compared to L.A., St. Louis sports fans are loyal, no matter the number of wins. Stan Kroenke should know a lot about purported low fan support, seeing as his Denver Nuggets currently sit 30th of 30 NBA teams in attendance. Over in the NHL, his Colorado Avalanche aren’t much higher.

While I needn’t list each and every statistic that proves how and why St. Louis is a suitable, loyal football city, I refer readers to the aforementioned response by the stadium task force that critically details all of them. The point is that Stan Kroenke moved the Rams to benefit financially; and in approving his plan, the NFL shamelessly disregarded its own policies so that it, too, could benefit. Although NFL franchises have historically fared poorly in Los Angeles, it makes sense why the league wants to occupy the west coast hub. But the victimization of a city full of passionate fans by a two-faced billionaire is tragic for the city of St. Louis, and the authorization of the move is a disgraceful act by the National Football League. Actions speak louder than words, and St. Louis was cooked from the beginning. Stan Kroenke lied. The NFL ignored its policies.

Together the two formed the snake that ultimately bit the city of St. Louis.

Clarkson the lead. The Red was able to hold Clarkson and tied up the game on Jess Brown’s goal in the third.

“We stuck to the gameplan,” Derraugh said about the Clarkson game. “We got some good goaltending as well.”

Against St. Lawrence, the Red seemed relatively evenly matched, yet sharpshooting from the Saints powered St. Lawrence to a 3-0 lead halfway through the game.

“We were giving them the lead,” Voorheis said. “We were still confident we could come back.”

“You can’t be distracted by the scoreboard,” Woods said. “We were still with them. You just have to chip away at it.”

The Red tallied a second period goal by senior forward Amanda Zorn to make it 3-1, but the team was not able to capitalize on any third period opportunities. The final score left the Lynah Faithful wanting.

“We were disappointed in the St. Lawrence game,” Derraugh said, reiterating Woods’ point about playing two strong games every weekend. “We need to have more consistency.”

Even after grabbing only one point last weekend, Cornell’s mental resolve when faced with a difficult situation midgame or midseason is readily apparent. It is this measured approach and ingame confidence that has the Red believing it can go on a late season run and play deep into

March.

“We have to control what we can control,” Bunton said.

“Even losing to SLU, we control our own destiny,” Woods said. “We’re playing with a chip

on our shoulder every single time.

I, for sure, believe in every single one of my teammates.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Marshall Leads Red Over Break

By BRITTANY BIGGS Sun Staff Writer

While the rest of campus was enjoying winter break, the Cornell women’s basketball team was busy in the middle of its season. The 10-6 team competed in eight games over break, winning six of them. The Red was challenged by teams from Stanford, California State University at Fullerton, Binghamton, Howard, Delaware State and Columbia.

Cornell is currently in a three-way tie for first in the Ivy League with Yale and the Penn, boasting a 2-0 record against conference opponents, picking up two victories against Columbia. Following the strong break, the team is now focused on keeping up the momentum for the rest of the season, according to head coach Dayna Smith.

“We played different teams [over break]: some athletic, some up-tempo, some teams were set orientated,” Smith said. “This did a pretty good job of preparing us for Ivy League opponents. Our non-conference schedule was difficult but it was also very beneficial to us.”

The Red opened winter break with a dominant 5935 victory over Fairfield. Cornell limited the Stags to fewer than 10 points in three quarters of the game.

Next up for the Red was a road trip out west to take on Stanford and California State- Fullerton. Cornell split the pair of games, getting blown out against the Cardinal and using a strong second half to top the Titans.

The Red returned home to take on Binghamton in a battle of upstate rivals. Junior Nia Marshall shined, scoring 31 points on 15 of 16 shooting from the floor. She currently leads the league in scoring.

Despite junior forward Nicholle Aston’s double-double, Cornell fell to Howard on the road, 76-74. Ashton scored 21 points and pulled down 11 rebounds.

Cornell finished off its nonconference portion of games with a 71-62 victory against Delaware State. Both Marshall and Aston had double-doubles in the victory as the Red held off a late rally in Ithaca.

To open the Ivy League slate of games, Cornell swept Columbia with two strong victories. In the first game, the Red used a dominant second half to come away with the win. In Ithaca on Saturday, junior guard Megan LeDuc connected on four of five field goals to power Cornell to a 84-73 victory over the Lions.

The team looks to use winter break’s games as stepping stones for the full Ivy League schedule beginning this Friday and Saturday.

“We want to compete for an Ivy championship, that is our main goal,” Smith said. “But as a more specific goal, we want to get better every day … We want to play as a team offensively and defensively. We want to play together and work towards progress.”

Cornell hosts Harvard and Dartmouth this weekend.

“We played phenomenally [against Yale],” Woods said. “We came flying out in the first period. Everything seemed to be clicking.”

Cornell was up 3-0 after the first period but Yale scored three unanswered goals of its own in the second period to tie the score. Undaunted, the Red scored three goals in the third as senior forward Jess Brown finished off a hat trick. “[It was] our biggest turning point in the season,” said junior forward Hanna Bunton.

The Red tied Brown the next day and welcomed the Knights and Saints this past weekend. Against Clarkson, Cornell scored first, but faced a 2-1 deficit compounded by a shorthanded goal that gave See W. HOCKEY page 13

Skating forward | The Red experienced a back-and-forth winter break, failing to string together two excellent games in a row.

n April 2010, the late sportswriter Bryan Burwell wrote a foreboding column in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Rams were for sale and Shahid Khan —a businessman with a ragsto-riches story who was perceived to be trustworthy — and Enos “Stan” Kroenke were both

Ben Shatzman Calling the Shatz interested in purchasing the franchise. Burwell’s blistering piece, titled “Rams minority owner not to be trusted,” referred to the latter of the two.

Kroenke, who already owned the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, had a reputation as a cunning businessman whose every move was done only to benefit Stan Kroenke.

Despite the fact that Kroenke was a Missouri native with three degrees from Mizzou and is named after St. Louis Cardinals’ legends Enos Slaughter and Stan Musial, the prospect of Kroenke owning the St. Louis Rams was unnerving. Burwell, warned in his now prophetic essay, “Kroenke has already clearly and dramatically demonstrated that he cares about two things — himself and his money. Everything else is negotiable.” So when Kroenke declared, “I’ve been a Missourian for 60 years. People in our state know me. People know I can be trusted. People know I am an honorable guy,” time would prove to be the determining factor that would reveal the real Stan Kroenke. Was he the greedy, self-interested man whom Burwell depicted — one who wouldn’t blink before stealing a franchise from its loyal fanbase? Or was he the trustworthy Missourian he claimed to be?

Earlier this month, the NFL approved the St. Louis Rams’ application to move to Los Angeles See SHATZMAN page 13
