Undergraduate Tuition to Rise 3.75 Percent Price of tuition,housing,meal plans and health fees set to increase starting next year

By NICHOLAS BOGEL-BURROUGHS

“The whole concept of ‘any person, any study’ — any person in particular in this case — is really paramount in our thinking.”

Sun Staff Writer

The Cornell Board of Trustees voted to increase the price of undergraduate tuition, housing contracts, meal plans and health fees for the 2017-2018 fiscal year, the University announced Monday.

The sticker price for undergraduate students enrolling in one of the endowed schools and for out-of-state students enrolling in a contract college will rise by $1,900 next year, from $50,712 to $52,612. New York State residents enrolled in one of the contract colleges will

Trustees Chairman Robert Harrison ’76 pay $1,274 more next year in tuition, totaling $35,242.

Robert Harrison ’76, chair of the Board of Trustees, told The Sun that Cornell is more affordable now, in absolute terms and in inflation-adjusted dollars, than it was 20 years ago for students who receive

financial aid.

“When we talk about this at the Board, the discussion among the trustees is about one thing — how to maintain the affordability of Cornell to those who we admit on a need-blind basis,” Harrison said.

Former GPSA Member Fights For Workers’ Compensation

By ANNA DELWICHE Sun Staff Writer

“The amount of work I’ve put into this over the years has been more than my Master’s thesis,” said Paul Berry grad, a former member of GPSA, referencing his work to establish a system of workers’ compensation for Cornell graduate students.

Berry presented Resolution 10, which clarifies the conditions and policies of Workers’ Compensation Coverage for graduate students at a Graduate and Professional Student Assembly meeting Monday evening.

The purpose of Resolution 10 was to “revisit the issue” from an earlier resolution in 2014. Berry was a lead author on the 2014 resolution granting workers’ compensation to graduate students.

In revisiting the resolution from 2014, Berry aimed to clarify ambiguities in policies such as musculoskeletal injury

prevention, disability accommodations, shortterm disability and longterm disability insurance. The call for clarification additionally comes from confusion of coverage for students under fellowship, according to Resolution 10.

Berry first announced Resolution 10 during Open Forum at a GPSA meeting, according to Nate Rogers grad, GPSA president. Berry then brought the resolution to the Student Advocacy Committee where it was edited, voted on and passed to be sent to the general body of GPSA. “Since Berry is not a current member of the GPSA, he cannot be the primary sponsor of the resolution,” Rogers said.

“Typically, in the case where a committee passes a resolution, the chair of that committee acts as the primary sponsor on behalf of the committee.”

study’ — any person in particular in this case — is really paramount in our thinking.”

Mirroring the increase implemented for the 2016-2017 academic year, tuition will rise by 3.75 percent next year. The rate of inflation, meanwhile, was less than 1 percent between July 2015 and July 2016, according to data from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

The new increase means that in the 10 year-period between the 2007-2008 academic year and 2017-2018, undergraduate See TUITION page 5 COMPOSITE DRAWING COURTESY OF CITY OF ITHACA POLICE DEPARTMENT

30 Years Later, Police Close In on Suspect in Killing of C.U. Alumnus

By NICHOLAS BOGEL-BURROUGHS Sun Staff Writer

Three decades after a Cornell alumnus was murdered in a Red Cross shelter in Ithaca where he worked, police have reopened the cold case and are narrowing in on a possible suspect.

Ithaca Police found David W. Malcom ’84 dead on West Court Street on Feb. 12, 1987, in what was then the Ithaca Emergency Community Shelter. Police declared the case a homicide and said Malcom, 26, died of multiple wounds the day before he was found, though they have not revealed whether a weapon was used.

In a recent interview, Deputy

Chief Vincent Monticello said he reopened the cold case in 2015 and believes a man police suspected of the murder 30 years ago — and who now lives in the Rochester area — is still a viable suspect.

“What really concerns me is that the individual who did this crime hasn’t been consumed by guilt over the years,” Monticello told The Sun. “You’d think a normal person isn’t going to kill somebody the way this crime took place … but you’d think somebody who has a conscience would, over the years, [have] some guilt and would want to get that guilt off their chest.”

“It makes me think that I’m dealing with a cold person,” Monticello added. “A very cold, no conscience,

couldn’t care less [person].”

Mayor Svante Myrick ‘09 recently issued a proclamation declaring Feb. 11 — the 30th anniversary of the murder — David Malcom Day. The proclamation said Malcom “always embraced life with a huge heart, a warm smile, and absolute kindness towards all.”

The homicide case went cold in 1988 and police reopened it sporadically in the 1990s, mid-2000s and around 2010, said Monticello.

About a year and a half ago, Monticello called some colleagues at New York State Police and decided to “start from scratch.”

Cornell Ranks 9th at Producing Billion-Dollar Companies

By SO HYUNG KIM Sun Staff Writer

the second Cornell Entrepreneurship Summit in 2013 and also said they found inspiration from their undergraduate courses.

“We were three doors apart on our freshmen dorm floor at Cornell and then without really planning it, we ended up starting a company right out of Cornell,” Shah said at the summit. “The reason we did that [is] we were Cornell engineers. One of the elective courses we took our very last semester was the entrepreneurship course in the Johnson School.”

As an assignment for the course, they created a consulting business which quickly paved their career into commercial internet and eventually to their founding Wayfair.

The three remaining “unicorns” founded

by Cornell alumni are valued around $1 billion, according to the research by Verve.

Illumio, founded by P.J. Kirner ’15, is valued at $1 billion; Eventbrite, founded by Renaud Visage ’94, M. Eng., is valued at $1.06 billion; and Human Longevity, founded by Robert Hariri ’87, M.D. and Ph.D., is valued at $1.2 billion.

“The billion-dollar start-up was once the stuff of myth, which is why private companies worth in excess of $1 billion have come to be dubbed unicorns,” said James Barnes, Creative Writer and Researcher for Verve.

Cornell University ranked in the top ten worldwide for producing the most number of founders of “unicorns” — a term for a billiondollar start-up — according to a recent study conducted by Verve, a “creative search engine optimization company.”

The five “unicorns” founded by Cornell alumni are Lyft, Wayfair, Illumio, Eventbrite, and Human Longevity, which rank 29th, 85th, 150th, 183rd and 238th respectively in valuation, according to the study.

John Zimmer ’06, the co-founder of Lyft, a billion-dollar taxi service company based in San Francisco, told Cornell Alumni Magazine that he found inspiration for his company from a city planning class that he took as an undergraduate student in the College of Architecture, Art and Planning.

During a particular lecture on the evolution of U.S. transportation, Zimmer recalled thinking “If those are the first three slides in the presentation, what would be the fourth slide ten years from now?” Eleven years after Zimmer took the course, Lyft is a now $5.5 billion private company, according to Barnes.

The second “unicorn” founded by Cornell alumni is Wayfair, a $2 billion online home store founded by Niraj Shah ’95 and Steve Conine ’95, Barnes added. Shah and Conine So Hyung Kim can be reached at called themselves “Cornell entrepreneurs” at sohyungkim@cornellsun.com.

GPSA Discusses Grad Workers’ Compensation GPSA

Continued from page 1

A member of GPSA, Alex Loiben grad served as the primary sponsor for Resolution 10.

“It’s not an uncomplicated issue and it’s one that’s been misrepresented for a long time in a deceitful and deliberative manner,” Berry said.

This misrepresentation that Berry cites has largely come from communication with members of the administration that prompted him to return to GPSA even though he is no longer a member.

Most recently Berry was mobilized by a presentation that Dean Barbara Knuth gave to the GPSA in October 2016, in which he believed the information that was given were “blatant fictions about what transpired.”

“The resolution itself is designed to get this issue back on the table after it’s been unresolved for a period of time since the dean has presented an alternative version of history,” Berry said.

Knuth notes that the “alternative version” may be referring to a complication that arose when an injured student was seeking workers’ compensation although not on a paid university appointment and thus “not receiving compensation of any type from Cornell at the time of the injury.”

“It is difficult to understand how the speaker can continue making the claim that workers’ compensation would have been appropriate in that case,” Knuth said. “I’m not surprised that the speaker continues to construe this fact as ‘misinformation’ given this truth undermines his claims.”

Berry added that he hoped reintroducing the issue of workers’ compensation would be an “education that has to take place” because “historical memory doesn’t last” in the constant cycling of graduate students.

A serious injury that occurred on campus in 2013 motivated the writing of the resolution in 2014, because before 2014, Cornell graduate students did not have “any formal codified policy for addressing graduate student workplace injuries,” Berry said.

To Berry’s claim of this lack of

policy, Dean Knuth said “That’s simply not true. Workers’ compensation claims had been paid for injured graduate students prior to that time. And, workers’ compensation continues to be paid to injured graduate students.”

However, when this resolution was passed in Feb. 2014, it became a “breaking point” between graduate students and the administration, according to Berry.

“These were people who invested years of developing amicable relations with the graduate school managment,” Berry said. “Things were really different after this, [there was] a real breakdown in that relationship.”

Berry emphasized this breakdown when describing a closeddoor meeting between the authors of the 2014 resolution and members of the administration during which he said, “we were treated with the utmost disrespect. No attempt was made to resolve the issue. We were accused of being misinformed or uninformed.”

The event that transpired in 2014 involving this resolution led Berry to contribute to the formation of Cornell Graduate Students United. Resolution 10 itself, however, does not take a position on the union.

“I formed [CGSU] because of a lot of these revisions to history that took place,” said Berry. “Because I quite frankly just don’t trust the management with a lot of the things they’ve done over the years.”

In the end, the Assembly voted to recommit this resolution to the Student Advocacy Committee for revisions due to wording concerns.

Assemblymembers additionally expressed a desire to have this resolution presented at a later time with representatives from the University present as well as a legal representative specializing in workers’ compensation. “[GPSA] recommitted to the SAC because Workers’ Compensation is a complex subject, and the GPSA membership would like to be well-informed before voting on such an important issue,” said Rogers.

mind,” Monticello said. “I was a young street cop back then … what I knew about the case [in 2015] is that it could be solvable.”

Tracking down more than 20 friends, associates and possible witnesses proved difficult, Monticello said, but police were aided by the fact that many of his acquaintances were young at the time of his murder. Police have followed up on 200 leads since fall 2015, the deputy chief added.

Malcom was working the night shift at the Red Cross shelter, which provided homeless people with a place to stay, when he was

killed, according to a front-page article published in The Sun days after the murder. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences graduate had also volunteered for three years at the Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service of Tompkins County.

About 200 mourners attended a memorial service at Sage Chapel on Feb. 15, 1987, where a relative said Malcom “was a rare human being; intelligent, sensitive and caring. He had great sympathy for everyone in distress.”

THE DROIDS YOU WERE LOOKING FOR PHOTO COURTESY OF MARIA JOSE ALANIS

By ARNAV GHOSH Sun Staff Writer

On a gloomy Saturday afternoon, most Cornell buildings are eerily silent.

Not Carpenter Hall.

To the uninitiated, its basement seems more like an off-limits factory workspace.

But inside, a shiny golden droid, Star Wars’ C3PO, casually rests against a pillar. Right opposite, a mini-rollercoaster fully equipped with a seat to simulate its sudden drops blocks out the clutter of electrical wires. No, this isn’t a storeroom for summer projects, it’s Ground Zero for Intel Cornell Cup. “We were founded in 2012. We’re very similar to other project teams, the only difference is that we have our own competition in which we don’t compete but demonstrate our work,“ said Tahmid Mahbub ’17, ECE team lead.

Over forty teams from universities all over the United States showcase projects that demonstrate an ‘innovative use of embedded systems’. As opposed to laying out strict guidelines on what projects should achieve, part of the challenge is to

identify and analyze a problem.

“It’s a unique idea in that its an embedded design competition where groups find a problem that they see in the world and define a solution. It's very forward thinking in that you put the power in the student’s hands, you’re not telling them to do anything. You’re saying find something and then solve it,” said Ronnie Forster grad, MechE team lead.

According to Harley Dietz ’17, MechE team lead, the open-endedness of the competition makes a big difference. As opposed to having the same goal every year and optimizing a pre-existing solution, the competition sees a variety of submissions each year, often geared to very different problems.

“In the same year where you had a robotic arm, you have a group that created a rear-view sensor for a motorcycle. It was just a $100 kit that you could attach to any motorcycle. It’s crazy that those are two things that compete in the same competition,” Dietz said.

The team’s role is to facilitate such innovation by showcasing their own projects, often involving upcoming technolo-

gies that competing teams have struggled to use.

“In the past, we’ve looked at submissions and looked at what we can help out with, how we can use our projects to fill any of these gaps. It’s great to see what people come up with in the competition.

It's educational for us and we also provide back all our documentation and how we did things in order to help them build even better. It’s a nice back and forth,” Forster said.

An example of such a project is a rollercoaster simulator which the team hoped would demonstrate how to integrate aspects of virtual reality into existing creations. However, their most prized project is a Star Wars character: R2D2.

First introduced in the competition’s third edition, the droid is now making a comeback.

“The idea is that it resembles R2D2 from the movie, but functionally it's meant to be a semi-autonomous lab assistant robot which figures out where in the environment it is and interacts with it,” Mahbub said.

With its second iteration, the team hopes to tackle some of the problems facing robots entering wider use. The most pressing concern is that of localization, a process in which a robot attempts to understand its environment. Conventional GPS systems are of little use in settings where uncertainty needs to be kept to centimeters, not meters. Consequently, the team’s R2D2 contains plenty of sensors to allow the robot to create a 3-D map of it’s environment.

The team is also assembling a ‘Minibot,’ essentially an educational tool that helps people learn how to create robots themselves.

“We’re competing against different commercially available robotics kits to make one that gives more power to the users. This means that users are more involved in actually making the robot: doing the coding, wiring it up, manufacturing it themselves. They’re actually learning about robotics rather than just putting together a kit,” Forster said.

The team is working on a couple of bots to narrow down the components the kit should contain and gauge the different

projects it could cater to. Among others, smaller sub-teams work on racer bots that interact with virtual environments and swarm bots that interact with each other as they complete a pre-defined task.

Despite the intricacies of these components, the team aims to manufacture most parts themselves, instead of buying modules and wiring them together.

“Even though it is a very simple kit, it’s still a very interesting challenge to minimize cost, minimize size and make it as intuitive as possible. We bring those groups together to talk about the kit, what needs one bot has that perhaps another doesn’t and how we can ensure that the kit serves everybody but doesn’t have too much extraneous stuff,” Forster said.

One of the team’s key goals is to ensure that working on projects is an educational experience for all. Each year, projects are carefully documented, detailing the processes used to create prototypes, the tools used and various design considerations. Once compiled, the information is made available online.

“People can go take a look and say, I really don’t have any idea of how to build an R2 and they can follow our documentation to do that. Or even a certain part of our documentation. It’s really going back to that philosophy of being an educational tool so that people can pick it up and really learn through what we did,” Forster said.

Forster insists that maintaining such an educational environment is just as important within the team.

“People are learning all the time. We take on freshman and sophomores who may not have as many capabilities but they’ll shadow different teams, take part in training sessions on say CAD software or GitHub. And so when they become juniors or seniors, they’ve really learnt something from their roles,” Forster said.

“This is a good opportunity for people to experiment outside their major. It really helps people figure out more about themselves and learn to make cool things.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT The Calm Honesty of Collegetown

BY KATIE SIMS Sun Staff Writer

P

arties spilling into Collegetown streets during Oweek, bags left on tri-Delt’s walkway during rush, Olin glowing across the Arts Quad at night — Collegetown, a film by Hugo Genes ’10, is full of eerily familiar sights.

The college in Collegetown is unnamed, but so much of it is filmed at Cornell that it seems like it could be about your classmates. The film critiques elite universities and the students’ narrow focus on getting drunk and rich.

Althought the more thematic film does not explore the characters very deeply, you do get to see the moments in their lives relating to financial situations, both in terms of career and college costs. Since you don’t get to know the characters well, the film’s most relatable aspects are small interactions. Phone calls with your mom, assuring her everything is fine, even though she knows better. Sitting in the financial aid office, unable to react when the officer talks you out of the room. Overwhelming information sessions with hundreds of people who have spent their lives preparing to compete for the same opportunity you want.

Aside from familiar scenes of college life, the film’s strength also lies in the cinematography. Soft focus and shallow depth of field are overwhelmingly popular in emotional and personal independent films like Collegetown. It differentiates the genre from corporate cinema and feels more intimate. It’s the aesthetic we chased after in my high school film classes and clubs, and

Collegetown caught it. The long, scenic montages that split up sketches and give well-needed geographic context can be a little long, but well composed and necessary. A lot of the morning-after shots of Collegetown houses are stills, though, which is a little jarring.

Throughout Collegetown, nothing is ever peaceful.

There’s always something to do, someone to impress or

lingering anxiety and turbulence. There’s one character who seems to be resisting the lure of banking — despite a childhood dream to follow his father’s banking footsteps — and even his indie guitar fingerpicking leaves a nagging feeling of imbalance in the frat house.

The editing is remarkably well done, carrying a lot of the mood in the film. It presents the stop-then-go nature of college, shows what happens as students use their devices and strings together multiple stories into one nar-

rative. Particularly interesting is the use of editing to show what happens in texts, emails and on laptop screens. Since so much of our lives and connections are propagated through electronics, it is critical that they are shown in film. Filmmakers are working hard to figure out how to present electronic communication well in film and Collegetown explores some outstanding options.

The film forgoes exploring the life of any particular character — it is very topical. However, the narratives grow parallel to each other and eventually come together in a smashed up interview in a Manhattan high-rise, which goes terribly for everyone involved. Jumping between so many topical characters and themes doesn’t give you a chance to get too attached, so the movie doesn’t really reach into profound emotions. In addition to following several students, Collegetown throws in a few backstories and several children trying to explain the workings of Wall Street. The ideas are interesting, but there are too many to flow together naturally.

Many films excel in exploring relatable emotions and aspirations, but Collegetown shines more in representing day-to-day occurrences. It’s very much a critique of the life we’re living, although it’s more reflective than condemning. Collegetown isn’t the movie of the year, but it is relevant and valuable to Cornell students.

Collegetown is showing at Cornell Cinema for free on February 15 at 5:00 p.m., featuring a discussion with director Hugo Genes ’10.

At risk of stating the obvious, the Grammys don’t matter. They skip over most of the best music being made and function primarily as the industry’s excuse to trot out a lot of celebrities who do not particularly want to be there. The fact that Kanye, Frank (what event matters without him?), Drake and Taylor Swift skipped the show entirely speaks to whom it actually services. As further evidence of the Grammys’ irrelevance to the zeitgeist, David Bowie won more awards last night than he did in his entire lifetime of making music. The list of complaints can go on, but ultimately the point is that the Grammys present – and export to other parts of the world – a false, outdated conception of American pop culture. Here’s to hoping the Oscars can do a little better.

espite the recent standout successes of films like Spotlight, La La Land and Moonlight, the past several years have been dark times for cinema. Last summer, droves of Americans willingly spent a collective $176 million to see a movie titled AntMan, not because of any particular affection for either ants or the secondtier superhero who obtains their powers, but because we were compelled to do so as a part of Walt Disney Studios’ master plan. See, a standalone film about a man who can shrink himself to the size of an ant probably wouldn’t do so well, regardless of how unassuming and charming the actor playing him was (and Paul Rudd is about as unassuming and charming as they come).

But a film about a man who can shrink himself to the size of an ant that happens to be part of a larger so-called “cinematic universe”? Instant blockbuster. Indeed, Ant-Man is like Thor 2 and Iron Man 3: all average films in their own right, propelled to the top of the box office because they are parts of a greater project, structured around The Avengers and their various cinematic escapades. All it took was one endearing performance by Robert

Warner Brothers, who at one point looked to be the one bright spot in an increasingly uniform universe of superhero films, has decided to leverage Christopher Nolan’s success with Batman on a new Justice Leaguethemed series of films that kicked off with last year’s incredibly disappointing Batman v. Superman.

So far, Disney has been the only one to make it work. Audiences will continue to converge on the average films they put out — The Thors, Iron Mans (Iron Men?) 2-3, Ant-Man — as long as they’re eventually treated to something special like Guardians of the Galaxy or Captain America: Winter Soldier. The other studios have yet to be able to replicate the “special” superhero films, and so what we are left with is a glut of overhyped, underperforming costumed capers that serve only to burn holes in our wallets. Moreover, looking forward to the coming films of the next five years, it is hard to believe that even Disney can continue to keep its ratio of average to special films at a level that appeases audiences. Sooner or later they’re going to screw up, and in their pursuit of easy dollars they will forget the level of quality they once produced.

Beating the Bias

ON JAN. 25, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION’S Office of Civil Rights opened its sixth Title IX investigation into alleged mishandling of sexual assault investigations by Cornell, making it the university with the most active Title IX investigations.

Under Title IX, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” At Cornell, that promise has come into question. The accounts of all parties involved in the recent Doe v. Roe case were unfairly evaluated under Policy 6.4, the University’s problematic policy for handling cases of sexual harassment. Cornell came under fire for instances of evident discrimination in this case. Both students accused each other of sexual assault, but Doe’s account was deemed less credible than Roe’s by the University investigator, who had “no evidence whatsoever to place the [male student] (or anyone else for that matter) at the scene of the theft.”

Furthermore, when Doe took this student-against-staff issue to Laurie Johnston, head of the Office of Workplace Policy and Labor Relations, Johnston neglected to attend to Doe’s complaint until threatened with litigation.

The fact that the investigation of Doe’s discrimination complaint was so easily delayed reinforces that Policy 6.4 is “fraught with inequities.” The University’s justification for the deferral was that Doe’s previous complaint against the other student had not yet been resolved, but it weakly disguised the fact that the deferral “placed Doe in a ‘more vulnerable position.’” If the policy’s authors had the students’ best interests in mind, Policy 6.4 would not have enabled the investigators to make such a move. There are obvious holes that allow those on payroll to gain control of the system and bend it to their advantage. This specific incident of mishandling is but one of potentially more cases.

As an institution that prides itself on student diversity and its egalitarian vision of higher education, the University should take a closer look at the policy and be more cautious in appointing personnel who will not attempt to circumvent the standards that protect students’ rights to a fair investigation. Title IX is meant to benefit everyone, irrespective of gender, and continually sweeping these cases under the rug provides basis for similar incidents in the future, invites further scrutiny of university policies and throws the safety of students into a state of doubt.

Title IX investigations persist, even though the University has made revisions to Policy 6.4. If we mean to truly assert our intolerance towards bias and assault, we must push for a comprehensive review of all complaints, even those concerning university personnel. Regardless of any pre-disposition towards bias, Cornell must become more proactive in terms of protecting the stated privileges of all students.

Indeed, Ant-Man is like Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 : all average films in their own right, propelled to the top of the box office because they are parts of a greater project, structured around The Avengers and their various cinematic escapades.

Downey Jr. in Iron Man and one entertaining Avengers film, and audiences were hooked on superheroes. Disney realized this, and now, if you so choose, you can find online a release schedule for a dozen superhero films over the next five years. And that’s just from one studio.

The other studios are all trying in vain to catch up. During the aughts, Warner Bros. put out perhaps the greatest superhero trilogy ever with Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, Fox kicked off the century of the superhero with Bryan Singer’s X-Men, and Sony redefined the genre with Sam Raimi’s often entertaining, occasionally terrible Spiderman trilogy. All three of those were decent series, even if there were some slip-ups (looking at you, Spiderman 3). The Dark Knight trilogy went as far as to transcend the superhero genre and earn acceptance as one of the best movies of the 00s. It’s important to note that all three of those trilogies had definite beginnings, middles, and ends, and each concluded with varying but definite degrees of closure.

Now, in the light of Disney’s success with Marvel products, the rival studios have trotted out their old properties in an attempt to cash in on the superhero fervor, with fairly bad results. Sony rebooted Spider-man with an apathetic Andrew Garfield, and it took them two films and a bevy of lukewarm reviews to realize audiences were uninterested. Fox rebooted their Fantastic Four series, which resulted in a two-pronged failure. First, it reminded us all that the terrible Jessica Alba-helmed Fantastic Four from 2005 actually happened (and even got a sequel!) and second, it was a terrible movie in its own right. And

Cracks will begin to form in the façade.

If you don’t believe me, take a closer look: the cracks have already begun to form. In their frenzy to expand and develop existing, proven material through sequels and reboots rather than to pursue original ideas, Disney is going down a very dangerous path.

In 2014, Disney announced that they would produce Toy Story 4, and a little part of me died inside. There is no series more perfect than Toy Story.

There is no way to improve upon Toy Story. Each individual film is heartfelt and sincere, and together, the three movies chronicle an emotional journey far more moving than a story about sentient plastic has any right being. But the arc ended with Toy Story 3. It ended in the best possible way it could, and I would be lying if I said that I didn’t cry at least twice in the last half hour of that movie.

There is no need for a fourth film.

The fact that it is in production is a clear signal that sequel frenzy has infected Disney beyond superheroes. It has infected one of the most beloved franchises in the history of film, and if it can get that far, then nothing is safe.

The studios took well-intentioned, selfaware superhero films and turned them into mindless cash-printing workhorses, and Toy Story 4 shows that they won’t hesitate to do it again, this time with films that have no business being resurrected. You may not see it now, but just wait. We’re one gritty Zack Snyder-directed reboot of Casablanca away from the end of cinema as we know it.

The Cracks Appear W

ho will be the first casualty of the Donald Trump White House? Well, it seems the primary injury has been to the standing of the office of the presidency. The second looks to be the Constitution, as that document is licked by the flames of Trump’s ire at “so-called judges” and the gag they represent in preventing him from fulfilling his prophecy — “I am your voice.” But who will be the first human casualties of the administration? Oh, sorry, I suppose those were the civilians — one a child and U.S. citizen — and the U.S. soldier killed in the botched Yemen raid Trump ordered, reportedly approved over dinner. It seems he refuses to enter the Situation Room until the gold panelling and tanning bed he requested are installed.

With all these bodies piling up it seems best to state the question in its most simple terms. Which aide will Trump fire first? Will it be Kellyanne Conway, who broke federal law like a dime-store saleswoman and, in doing so, performed the first (partial) spine transplant on Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chair of the House Oversight Committee? Will it be Michael Flynn, who broke federal law like one Mr. and Mrs. Rosenberg and, in doing so, proved his ineptitude at being National Security Advisor (he’s an intelligence officer who didn’t realise U.S. intelligence agencies monitor the communications of Russian diplomats)? Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said the Democrats are the party of the Klu Klux Klan. Well, Teddy, the Republicans are the party of Joseph McCarthy. But you wouldn’t know it from looking at them.

Or will it be Sean “Spicey” Spicer who, though he declined to break federal law (everyone must wait their turn), has emerged as the Dmitry Peskov to Donald Trump’s Vladimir Putin? Trump has demonstrated his lack of faith in Spicer by questioning his performance in conversations with contacts outside the White House, one of whom stated, tellingly, that Trump “only asks questions when he’s unhappy. If he thinks things are going well, he just tells you how well things are going.”

This cocktail of insecurity and egotism is what makes Trump’s administration so dangerous. Stupidity and lack of thought fuel lawbreaking. It is difficult to attribute Conway’s blatant promotion of Ivanka Trump’s products and Flynn’s childlike ignorance of diplomatic machinery to anything besides a disregard for the intricacies of the protocols and laws that govern the operation of the executive branch. Both Conway’s and Flynn’s actions directly contravene federal statutes. However, Conway’s comments provide further opportunity for some form of insider trading.

Anyone with advance knowledge of Trump’s next Twitter tantrum target could quite easily short the stocks of that company, potentially profiting “bigly” from such a strategy. Stupidity breeds illegality.

Mr. Trump’s first dismissal will give an indication of the relative strengths of the two major power centres in his administration. Commanding one of these camps (in the red corner) is Reince Priebus, Trump’s chief of staff and former Republican National Committee chairman, who represents the pre-Trump wing of the party. Opposing him (in the red, white, and black corner, but mainly white) are Steve Bannon and Steve Miller, White House Chief Strategist and Senior Advisor to the President respectively, who subscribe to a more populist, nationalist conservative ideology. Spicer, an ally of Priebus, resides in the former group while Conway and, to a greater extent Flynn, are members of the latter. The dismissal of any of these aides will provide an important insight into whether the Republican old guard or the nouveuax despotisme have greater sway over the infantile president.

Trump has been unaccustomed to criticism because ultra-wealthy people have the power at their disposal to punish those who question them. The office of the presidency delivers to him the full machinery of the executive branch to continue this. Let us hope that he makes the right choices in snuffing out the embers that threaten to set fire to his presidency.

Similar to chickens, fish are also very intelligent. They can be trained to do tricks and recognize their human companions.

will make the postseason tournament at the Palestra, and Cornell currently sits tied for fifth along with three other teams — one of which is the Green.

But if the Red has any hopes

of continuing play after the regular season finale at Brown on March 4, this weekend will be pivotal for keeping its head afloat.

“We just need to come together and play as a team instead of individuals,” Gettings said. “We play our best basketball when we play as a team and

have shown we can play with anyone. Hopefully, it comes together for us, and we can make a run these last six games that will give us an opportunity to play in the Ivy Tournament at the end of the year.”

Grapplers Clinch 15th Straight Ivy Title

By JACK KANTOR

ADRIAN BOTEANU / SUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Sun Assistant Sports Editor

At this point, winning seems to be second nature for Cornell wrestling. With dominant victories over Penn and Princeton this past weekend, the Red collected its 15thstraight Ivy League title to continue the longest title streak in the history of the Ancient Eight.

Halfway through the meet against Princeton (8-7, 4-1 Ivy), Cornell (12-2, 5-0) could taste victory with its 18-0 lead over the Tigers. The Red went into the match with the Ivy title on the line and with a certain degree of uncertainty. Not long after though, it seemed a 38th league title was imminent.

“Princeton has a very good team, and I was a little concerned with some of the match-ups,” said head coach Rob Koll. “Out of the blocks, our team physically dominated their wrestlers, setting the tone for the remainder of the match.”

Before Saturday, Cornell put itself in position to claim the title against Princeton by topping Penn (6-7, 2-3) Friday evening. The Quakers held a 10-7 lead over the Red early in the match, but starting with Brandon Womack at 165, Cornell won its final five matches, including a key major decision victory by No. 3 Brian Realbuto (174) over No. 13 Casey Kent.

After No. 1 Gabe Dean (184) won by forfeit, No. 19 Owen Scott (197) took the mat for a nail-biting penultimate match. A takedown with 40 seconds remaining in the third and final period secured his victory over No. 13 Frank Mattice along with three more points for his team.

“The two biggest wins of the weekend came from two different 197 pound wrestlers,” Koll said. “Owen Scott upset a nationally ranked Penn wrestler, and Ben Honis defeated Princeton’s all-American captain to give us all the points we needed to secure the dual meet victory.”

On Saturday against Princeton, Honis captured a huge upset victory over No. 10 Brett Harner. The 7-6 win by decision gave Cornell that 18-point lead heading into half-

time, just about putting the match out of reach for the Tigers.

While freshman Noah Baughman (125) would see the only victory in the weekend’s final five matches, Cornell had created enough of a cushion for a 21-12 victory and its 15th-straight Ivy League title.

The Red’s pair of dual meet wins over the weekend makes it seven straight victories since its loss to then-No. 9 Missouri (10-4, 7-1) in early January.

“We have managed to string together a very nice season

despite putting a different team on the mat in virtually every competition,” Koll said. “I feel good about where the team is, and I believe our best is yet to come.”

The work is far from over. Next up for Cornell is No. 4 Ohio State (11-2, 7-2) in the NWCA National Duals Competition Series. The Red will host the Buckeyes this weekend for the team’s final home meet of the season.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Hoopers Disappoint in Earl’s Return,Swept on Road

By ZACH SILVER Sun Assistant Sports Editor

The only thing Cornell men’s basketball’s head coach Brian Earl cares about is the now.

So when the Red visited Princeton this past weekend — Earl’s home for over 13 years in schooling, playing and coaching — it was no surprise he was more focused on the game at hand than remembering the years in the rearview.

When the Princeton PA announcer read off his accolades and accomplishments in the orange and black, Earl was busy preparing his team for an essential game to try and claw into tournament con-

tention.

“There's so many familiar faces. The place has done so much for me so it’s nice to be home, but before the game and right now, I'm not as happy to be back here,” Earl half-jokingly said after the Princeton game. “Its great that they read that off but it’s good to see the people who have done so much for you in the department.”

Unfortunately for Earl, his team was not able to make it a happy homecoming, as Cornell (6-17, 2-6 Ivy) dropped a 69-60 decision on the road against the Tigers (15-6, 8-0), as well as an 82-63 game Sunday at Penn (9-12, 2-6).

The first game of the weekend —
