Student Assembly Special Election Winners Share Visions Seek to improve communication between student body, S.A.and administration

By KIMBERLY LEE Sun Staff Writer

Four new Student Assembly members— Jung Won Kim ’18, Dale Barbaria ’19, Matthew Indimine ’18, and Nelson Billington ’17 — were elected to fill vacancies for the rest of the semester that arose when S.A. members transferred to different Cornell colleges, left to study abroad or not attend enough sessions, the S.A. announced Friday.

The new representatives expressed interest in improving communication both between students and the administration, and among students on campus. They also said they aim to make school resources more accessible to all students.

As a voting member of the Academic Policy Committee, Arts and Science Representative Kim said that his first initiative is to begin open course evaluations that will make the syllabi of all Arts and Sciences courses open to the public.

“This way, students may know what they are getting into before actually enrolling in courses and thus save a lot of trouble during add/drop period,” he said.

Kim also said he plans to compile a directory of Arts and Sciences alumni to make the college more cohesive and interconnected. He promised to partner with the Cornell Annual Fund and collect alumni information for the directory via senior polls, starting this year with the Class of 2016.

School of Hotel Administration Representative Billington said he hopes to increase communication between students in the School of Hotel Administration and the S.A., in order to unify students and ensure that the

identity, mission and community of the school remains intact. He said he plans to meet extensively with synergy committees and relay information efficiently.

Although initially concerned about the transition, Billington explained that he now feels more confident with the administration’s plan for the future.

“Maintaining a business curriculum grounded in hospitality is essential for the future of this incredibly unique program,” he said. “I will stand for strengthening the Hotel School and expanding collaboration with Dyson and Johnson.”

Indimine, the new LGBT representative at large, said he aims to bridge the gap between members of the LGBT

Dale Barbaria ’19 community and all other communities on campus by effectively and sustainably promoting inclusion.

“I want to foster a greater sense of acceptance and understanding of LGBT issues on campus as a whole,” he said.

Indimine explained additional plans to work with the Greek Tri-Council to encourage inclusion within chapters and to hold training sessions on bystander intervention,

sexual assault and mental health issues.

Indimine also addressed beginning a “Leave of Absence” fund to offer financial assistance to students who want to take a leave of absence, but are unable to return home for various reasons.

“This is an especially prevalent issue within the LGBTQ+ community, because, unfortunately, some students may be unable to return home due to their families' lack of acceptance,” he explained.

Engineering Representative Barbaria said he plans to work closely with Engineering Representative Justin Selig ‘17, to further current projects. He expressed hopes to continue the S.A.’s support of students in the College of Engineering.

“This would include continued financial support for project teams and keeping the College of Engineering in mind when the S.A. pursues curricular and procedural changes,” he said.

Barbaria also said he would like to push the S.A. to work on small projects that will help students and encourage the S.A. to function as a “conduit” between the student body and the administration.

“I have seen much of the S.A.’s efforts focused on Anabel’s Grocery Store — a brilliant and noble project — but I perceive this as something that has prevented the S.A. from fully focusing on its constant function of acting as a conduit between the student body and the administration,” he said. “I hope to work closely with the already seated members of the Student Assembly, and I will do my part to keep the S.A. running efficiently.”

Cornell Hosts First Make-a-Thon

By ANNE SNABES Sun Staff Contributor

One hundred and twenty students gathered from Cornell, colleges throughout the Northeast and local high schools to design models of tech gadgets for daily life in Cornell’s first-ever Make-a-Thon this weekend.

Sixteen teams participated in this competition, which was run by Life Changing Labs, an organization that provides mentorship, resources and real life experience for “Cornell’s top entrepreneurially minded students,” according to the group’s website.

Students of varying interests from engineering to business participated in the competition. Competitors were challenged to design a product that would incorporate smart living into day-to-day routines.

“With these criteria too, it’s a little bit more than just making the coolest thing,” said Michael Raspuzzi ’16, the main organizer of the competition. “It’s making

something that solves a problem that is the best solution for that problem, and can impact the world in some way.”

Despite the original plans for the event, high school students competed against college students, rather than against others in their age group, according to Raspuzzi.

“The judges did not know were high school teams pitching,” he said. “The top three teams were selected based on criteria listed alone.

The 16 competing teams had to come up with ideas for a product, create a prototype for the device and pitch their model in a final presentation.

A Make-a-Thon differs from a hack-athon because hack-a-thons rely more heavily on software, while this kind of contest relies on hardware, according to Raspuzzi.

“In a normal hack-a-thon, you sign in, you meet the six people you’re going to work with, and then you go into a room for 24 hours,” Raspuzzi said. “This is very different — everyone is in one space.”

Competitors were judged on five different criteria, including the importance of their idea, its viability, the product they create, its creativity, and presentation of the product, according to the Make-A-Thon’s P.R. Lead Jimmy Guo ’16.

Jimmy Chen ’19, said his group wanted to make a light and temperature monitoring system that would save people money over time and cost around $100.

Cornell a Capella Group,The Chordials,Releases Ninth Album

By ALEXANDER CHAKRIN Sun Staff Contributor

Two years after the release of their last album, the critically acclaimed Cornell a capella group, The Chordials, released their ninth album, Surface, on Friday.

The Chordials, founded in 1997, have been nominated for 14 Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards, according to their press release.

“Surface is our ninth studio album and is a collection of all of our favorite songs from the past two years” said Chordials’ President, Grace Becker ’17. “Recording albums is an important part of our identity as a group, so I'm

sure Surface will not be our last.”

Because budgetary allocations for clubs by the Student Assembly Funding Commission do not include funds for media equipment, the group used private funds to support this project, according to Dedzidi Ladzekpo, ’16, another member of The Chordials.

“A lot of the fundraising happens through ticket sales at our concerts and other performances around campus,” she said. “This time, we also did a small fundraiser on our social media.”

The album “aims to process all of the emotions that might arise during a drastic life change,” accord-

ing to Rocco Recce ’17, Business Manager. She added that the album

guides its listeners through a “tough, toxic situation.”

“The album outlines

every stage of the transition, mostly in the context of relationships,” Reece said. “From pre-surfacing, to post-surfacing, and the act of crossing over itself, our music aims to process all of the emotions that might arise during a drastic life change.”

The group chose the songs for the album based on which they thought audiences would be most receptive to, according to Anita Alur ’17, another member of The Chordials.

“During each semester, the Musical Director and Assistant Musical Director essentially looked through the group’s repertoire from the prior term to decide which songs had the most recording potential.”

The album is a collaborative effort of the group members, according to Brian Gips ’15.

“This album was recorded over four sessions spanning three semesters, but the full production took about two years” said Gips.

While Ladzekpo said she hopes the album resonates with students at Cornell, she also said she hopes it also reaches beyond the Cornell Community.

“We also hope our album reaches people throughout the a cappella community, such as the groups at Ithaca College, that we have connected with throughout the years.”

her gain voters’ confidence, according to Rebecca Saber ’18, founder of the Facebook page “Hillary for America at Cornell University.”

“By winning Nevada, Hillary proved to her supporters and undecided voters alike that she is capable of winning the Democratic primary,” Saber said.

Sanders’ loss indicated a lack of minority support, evident in his failure to appeal to the large minority population in Nevada, according to Fernando Quiroz ’16, president of Cornell Political Union.

“While several caucuses still remain, the weak appeal to minority voters tonight could indicate a critical flaw in the Sanders campaign,” he said.

Jake Zhu ‘18, first vice chair of Cornell Republicans, said he

agrees with this analysis of Sanders’ weakness as a candidate.

“Bernie has been running one of the ‘whitest’ Democratic primary campaigns in recent history as there is hardly any racial diversity among his supporters,” he said.

Students also shared their disappointment with Trump’s success, several asserting that the results in South Carolina will have negative implications for the Republican party.

“The pure viciousness we’re seeing in the Republican primaries is not emblematic of a party that can sway independents in the general [election], especially given the hateful rhetoric we’ve seen so casually leveled at immigrants and minorities time and time again,” Jara said. “For the sake of the party, I hope things change.”

Some students felt that Trump’s victory could mean

increased support for Rubio, especially because Jeb Bush decided to drop out of the race on Sunday.

“There is no doubt that Republican voters will go towards Rubio since he is the last ‘establishment Republican’ running that can win the nomination,” Zhu said. “As more and more candidates drop out of the race, Rubio’s prospect of winning significantly increases while Trump’s prospect undeniably diminishes.”

However, Bristow argued that Trump’s victory will help him win the conservative nomination.

“The results in South Carolina make Donald Trump the clear front runner for the Republican nomination,” he said.

“We [used] a combination of light and temperature sensors to first, sense the light outside and then adjust the light levels of your house inside accordingly,” Chen said. “We [adjusted] the light levels inside through dimming lights and adjusting blinds, which will be fully automated.”

The winning group created a product called P!llPall, a product that helps people remember when to take their medications, according to Ruth Silcoff, a junior at Ithaca High School and member of the winning team.

“The bracelet is programmed with when you need to take them,” she said. “When it is time for your pills, it vibrates until you press a button. The button dispenses the pills for that time and stops the vibration.”

Silcoff said the invention is intended for anyone who takes pills on a regular basis, but it is specifically geared toward older people who take more pills and may have worse memories.

Joanne Kim ’17 said she competed with a group of all juniors that had multiple ideas, one of which was considering how they could aid children and the elderly in the medical field.

“This past summer I had to help my grandma through her hospital needs because she got fairly ill,” Kim said. “I think this is a really awesome opportunity to help further that cause and to make some innovation for the elderly in the medical field.”

She said her group was not just focused on winning, even though many other groups had that goal.

“While we’re all here, we’re very excited about it,” Kim said, “And we’re really dedicated to making a change.”

James Franco to Address Graduating Class FRANCO

including the Spider-Man trilogy, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Spring Breakers and This Is the End. The actor was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in the drama 127 hours. In 2014 he took his skills to Broadway, making his debut in an adaptation of Of Mice and Men, his website says.

Franco is also known for his plethora of education experiences — in 2006, unhappy with the his career path he re-enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles as an English major while continuing his work as an actor, according to New York Magazine.

He subsequently earned degrees from Columbia University’s MFA graduate writing program and attended both New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and Brooklyn College. He has also studied as a Ph.D. student at Yale University and attended the Rhode Island School of Design.

Benefanti emphasized that, even beyond Franco’s demonstrated commitment to bettering him-

self through his studies, he demonstrates a “worldliness, confidence and ambition” which is essential to what it means to be a Cornellian.

“I hope his speech will impact students by helping them recognize that with the time spent at Cornell, you can do absolutely anything that is aligned with what you are most passionate about,” Benefanti said. “Everywhere Franco has turned he has left an impact and demonstrated what it means to be an effective agent of change, which is a terrific example and inspiration that through his words will hopefully be driven home even further.”

Franco has taught courses on filmmaking and production at New York University, the University of Southern California and his alma mater, the University of California, Los Angeles, according to IMBD. He has also been honored for his charitable contributions to organizations such as the Art of Elysium Charity — a group which enables children with serious medical conditions to pursue creative projects.

Benefanti said the selection of Franco as the convocation speaker represents a “coup for convocation

in general,” stressing that the committee seems to have evolved away from choosing purely political figures to address graduating classes.

“Prior to Ed Helms [in 2014], there were many years where politicians rose to the top of committee’s list, and [Franco’s] selection represents a departure from that,” he said. “Last year with Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly, convocation was gifted with not only an alumna, but a story of strength and determination that powerfully encapsulated the spirit of resilience.”

Benefanti said he believes Franco’s enthusiasm for education and “versatility” in professional pursuits will inspire Cornell’s class of 2016 this May. “Franco’s versatility is something that is fresh, welcomed and nicely attuned to the evolution of not only convocation, but also Cornell in fostering a community where its students are able to pursue their wildest passions with no reservations whatsoever,” he said.

“It is an honor to be able to welcome him to Cornell this May.” Phoebe Keller can be reached at pkeller@cornellsun.com.

Xu said that this discovery not only furthers understanding of fruit acidity, but also has allowed the development of a predictive functional marker, which would help farmers identify which seeds to plant.

“Apple breeders have been using this marker to select seedlings of desirable fruit acidity levels at young stages even before the seedlings are planted, thereby considerably improving apple breeding efficiency by saving time and resources,” he said.

Xu said he is excited for what this award means for his future work.

“The award will encourage us

to work even harder on this project to accomplish more,” he said.

“This is the most significant award I have ever received and I am extremely honored.”

Kourkoutis received the award from the Department of Defense for her contributions to the development and applications of atomic-resolution electron microscopy and spectroscopy, and to the discovery and control of new multifunctional materials, she said.

Kourkoutis and her group of researchers use state-of-the-art electron microscopy techniques to study the microscopic properties of next generation energy material, according to their project website.

“The PECASE award will support my group’s research to

advance the fundamental understanding of how novel properties emerge in artificially engineered materials,” she said. “Ultimately, this will help to design strategies to control them and to engineer novel and technologically relevant materials and devices.”

All recipients of this award will receive their awards at a Washington, D.C. ceremony this spring.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Local Talent Shines in Deathtrap

BY SAMUEL MORRISON Sun Contributor

A staged reading is always a dangerous route to take for actor and directors. In this format the performers’ physicality and intentions are focused towards the script in their hands, which can make them feel immobilized and their characters seem flat. It is especially courageous to put up a staged reading of a play with the notoriety of Deathtrap, which won the 1978 Tony Award for Best Play for playwright Ira Levin. A significant portion of the room has most likely already seen this Broadway classic produced by a full production team with seasoned actors who’ve had at least a few more weeks to memorize, stage, and color their performances. Luckily, local Ithaca theatre troupe The Homecoming Players casts a group of extraordinary actors, who successfully turn what could have been a long night at the Kitchen Theatre into a romp of suspense and hilarity.

The script on its own begins at a slow pace, forcing the intrinsic static reality of a staged reading into a challenging position to jumpstart the theatrical energy. But before anybody can settle into complacency, the first character is dead and the rest of the evening spirals into a suspenseful perpetual series of cliffhangers. Going into a play categorized as “comedy-thriller,” it is difficult to avoid the expectation of a cliché murder mystery; but Deathtrap deconstructs that genre from the inside out.

It is a play about playwrights and quickly becomes overwhelmingly meta. While reveling in the indulgences of a thriller, Levin aggressively mocks concepts of reality and illusion. The result is a script that demands that the actors hook the audience into an abundance of intense life-or-death situations, at the same time helping the viewers delight in deciphering Levin’s mindlessly complicated world.

The play is driven by a cynical and well-established playwright named Sidney Bruhl, whom actor Arthur Bicknell brilliantly interprets with a casually maniacal performance. Equipped with direct asides to the audience and cleverly placed reminders that what has happened on stage so far would make a great play, Bicknell readily embellishes Levin’s metatheatrical trope.

Bicknell pulled out an amusingly dry sense of humor, but the most enjoyable part of his performance was a

jaded and almost sardonic delivery that had a seemingly self-reflective effect on the scene. He played Bruhl with a certain elevated air and natural bravado that separated his character from the rest of the cast. It felt as if he was nodding to the audience, saying, “I, too, am watching.” While Bicknell guides the audience through the action in the course of the evening, he seems to be as much of a bystander in his journey as the audience is.

If Bicknell is a master at breaking the illusion of a

requires a company capable of expertly crafted acting, or else it could easily fall into a hodgepodge of unsatisfying plot developments of unjustified murders and incidentally witty remarks. With the utmost conviction, this cast pulled it off, and earned every bit of laughter and applause from the attentive audience.

For all of its praises I can sing, the proclaimed social justice aspect of the troupe left much to be desired.

The only non-American character in the play, Helga Ten Dorp, was exoticized with an ambiguously eastern European accent, topped with a noticeably culturally incorrect headCOURTESY OF AMANDA STEIN dress and her stated sole purpose was comic relief. The world of playwriting is depicted as one dominated by males, and while this is a realistic depiction of the field at the time at which it was written, it seems unnecessary for a contemporary audience. How much more fun would it be to recast that timeworn narrative by including female depictions of the profession? As a final note, the two main characters’ unstated but obvious homosexuality had a sense of shame and unnecessary delicacy around the issue that seems to have been stuck in 1978. It had me yearning for just one same-sex kiss for most of the play. While these critiques may reflect some of the inherent risks of working with a script written in another political epoch, I would be remiss to leave them unstated, as these temporal contradictions become norplay within a play, then his co-star Jacob White must malized in the ways in which modern audiences view be equally as skillful at maintaining it.

Just Dying to See It: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl Based on the debut novel of writer Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is endearing with its painfully suburban but quirky setting, wide range of eccentric characters and first-person narration by our main character, Greg Gaines (Thomas Mann).

From the get go, his character is swiftly established with his first line: “This is the story of my senior year of high school. How I almost destroyed my life and made a film so bad it literally killed someone.”

Following the high-school filmmaking duo Greg and Earl (RJ Cyler) through their “doomed” friendship with Rachel Kushner (Olivia Cooke), a classmate who’s been recently diagnosed with leukemia, the movie seems to contain the makings of a perfectly mawkish tale, set to induce tears and follow every cliché that might spring from such a relationship. It is very clearly a coming of age film, generally filled with the suburban strife of coming to grips with life and responsibility. As such, its plot isn’t so innovative or fascinating: A white boy in suburbs grows up (or makes a butchered

— is not constructed that way.

While the quirky range of characters (Greg’s sociologist father who frequently buys exotic foods; Rachel’s mother who is always just tipsy enough to say relatively creepy things) makes us giggle and brighten the mood, there are some serious undertones in the movie. The key to tapping into these is to really hear Greg over his self-deprecation and his way of dealing with awkward moments and actual human bonds. To understand Greg is to understand that his words should be taken with a grain of salt.

It’s in the way he refuses to verbally admit Earl is his friend, though he Cornell so clearly is; it’s in the way his sadness at Rachel’s illness manifests in a Cinema fight between them.

Greg’s problem is not a case of confused identity. Rather, it is a problem with honesty and a wellsocially awkward and comically cowardly. established feeling of worthlessness.

film and insist on a witty, unsentimental story, is a rather heart-wrenching sensation and mixed reactions to the feeling of having been played. The viewer is left with the distinct impression of having allowed her/himself to be emotionally manipulated.

But at the same time, the movie is startlingly honest about death and how we as humans (fail to) deal with it. There is no silver lining, no radical shift in personality. It is just this: Death sucks. Rachel is not some philosophical martyr whose impending death changes everyone and everything. The friendship between Earl, Greg, and Rachel is not a dramatic turning point in their lives.

Greg’s confrontation with death does not particularly leave a profound impact on his life — nor does it really change how he is as a person. At the end, he is still himself, albeit perhaps a bit wiser and older. In the end, life goes on in a straight, horizontal line across time. What remains behind Greg are empty rooms and memories left behind, and the truth that someone is gone, and that the only way to move is forward.

From X-Men to R-Men: Do Superheroes Need to Be Bad?

I

I worry that Hollywood has gleaned the wrong moral of the story. We don’t need a string of dark superhero movies chockful of eviscerations and innuendo. Heck, I enjoyed Deadpool. I wasn’t in love with it by any means, but it was a loving, authentic treatment of the Merc with a Mouth. The gore, sex and explicit language weren’t refreshing so much as the sincerity with which first-time director Tim Miller and star Ryan Reynolds approached the source material. This isn’t the neutered Deadpool of X-Men O r i g i n s : Wolverine, but the real McCoy. Reynolds has entirely dedicated himself to a movie that he believes in, personally, and it shows.

While the majority of superhero movies seem like meaningless cash-grabs, Deadpool never really feels the same as the umpteenth Iron Man or Captain America movie. Fox Pulp FictSean was so wary of making Deadpool, an R-rated motormouth that banters with the audience, that it very cern. Their conclusion: Deadpool did so well nearly almost never happened. It wasn’t because of its rating. But that’s simply not until somebody — maybe Reynolds, maybe true. Nobody above the age of 17 chooses Miller, who knows? — leaked test footage what film to see based solely on its rating. onto the internet that the studio began to Just as man doth not live by bread alone, a pay attention. The video circulated the web, the response was legendary, and the rest is movie doth not sell tickets by an R alone. f you happened to see a movie over the break, it probably wasn’t Zoolander 2 or Kung Fu Panda 3. Why? Because those movies weren’t rated R, of course. Those movies aren’t edgy or cool. Audiences need gritty, dirty, violent, sexy movies that break the fourth wall — movies like Deadpool — to really get the dopamine flowing. Let’s have more of those, shall we?

That is, for worse or for worse, the message that Hollywood has received in the wake of Deadpool’s stunning, record-breaking debut, the highest opening weekend of all time for an R-rated film and for a February release. Right on the heels of this news, Fox reported that they would seek an R rating for their upcoming third — and final — Wolverine movie, the first of its kind in the series. If this last movie is indeed based on the “Old Man Logan” comic book arc, as the persistent rumors claim, the rating announcement seems apropos, but its impeccable timing with Deadpool raises con-

superh e r o movie, 2009’s Watchmen, was rated R, in part due to an extended sex scene set to Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” that 14-year old me watched in a dark movie theatre next to my 73-year old grandfather. Good times. Like in Deadpool, the R was inherently vital to Watchmen; without it, the film could never have hoped to achieve the tone it was going for. If Kung Fu Panda 3 had been rated R after all, I doubt it would have had its desired tone, either.

Guardians of the Galaxy director and graphic novel guru James Gunn has become the de facto clarion voice for superhero movies, often taking to Facebook to criticize or to praise recent releases in the genre.

Gunn worries that Hollywood will lose sight of what made Deadpool such a fun movie in

wall,” but that it’s “good and original.” He summed it all up like so: “For the theatrical experience to survive, spectacle films need to expand their definition of what they can be. They need to be true and unique voices of the filmmakers behind them. They can’t just be copying what came before them.”

I must wholeheartedly echo Gunn’s sentiments. Originality is the greatest blessing a movie can possess, evoking a sense of surprise and wonder and novelty in the audience. The cardinal sin of filmmaking is, in my opinion, predictability, and while even Deadpool cannot fully rise above all the tropes and cliches of the superhero genre, it makes a most valiant effort. In order to continue making good superhero movies a la Deadpool, Guardians or Watchmen, studios must learn to pick stories — and storytellers — with integrity and vision, regardless of the rating.

Letter to the Editor

On shared governance To the Editor: Shared governance and student participation in University decisions has been an integral part of Cornell’s structure since 1967. Throughout the history of our University, we have seen students challenge their role in the policy making system and question whether student opinions and experiences are fully considered. The recent decisions of the Board of Trustees and University Administrators once again test our faith in the shared governance system.

Students are given positions on various committees that govern the University such as the Board of Trustees, the Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs, the University Assembly, the Provost’s Financial Aid Committee and the Student Health Fee Advisory Committee, but we question what tangible impact the student voice has on major University decisions. Why is there usually only one student allowed on such committees to represent the concerns of a wide variety of constituents? At what stage in the process are students brought into the conversations?

Did student voice have any impact on the decision to include only Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival students as domestic students for financial aid or the transition to need-aware admissions for international students?

Though students have been made members of several councils and committees, they often face limitations that create barriers in representation, such as obligations to sign confidentiality agreements, which prevent open discussion between student representatives and the student populations affected. Additionally, when students admit to their limitations in delivering appropriate representation, they have been barred from giving their position to other students.

At the Feb. 11 Student Assembly meeting, the Provost reminded students that not every student could have a seat on every committee that they wanted. We do not believe that this is the current demand of students. Rather, students are asking for an opportunity for their voices to be heard before radical decisions that greatly impact us are made. While we expect our voting representatives to vote in the best interest of their constituency, the importance of sharing students’ lived experiences requires a more nuanced approach to selecting student representatives to fill these committee positions. Student opinions in these decisions appear to be mere formalities for the administration. Moving forward, we ask the administration to move away from this “tick-the-checkbox” attitude and show a genuine concern about student opinion on campus. We request that the administration introduce ideas to students before they are fully baked, and instead involve students, including members of the populations that will be affected by new policies, in the development of initiatives and policy changes.

D

Decoding The Donald

uring the Presidential Debates last Fall, it was remarkable how the ubiquitous Trump emerged as one of the most talked about candidates according to Twitter real-time metrics. Over the past few months, Donald Trump has become a hackneyed name in every household for both his calumny and éclat. As for me, I cannot help being thoroughly intrigued by this outrageous political figure who clearly does not hold back. Despite being a radical liberal, I decided to give Trump the benefit of the doubt and really parse through his proposed policies.

Given that Trump has championed a “total and complete shutdown of all Muslims entering the United States,” claimed that Mexican immigrants are “ rapists, and some, are good people,” and has publicly denigrated fellow Republican candidates for how they look, comparing one of them to a “child molester,” it is indeed a predicament that he has come so far in the 2016 Presidential election. On the other hand, I am also somewhat confounded by Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (D-VT.) growing popularity in a society which appears to be chary about any ideology remotely affiliated with socialism.

The materialization of both Trump and Sanders as formidable candidates in the 2016 presidential election elucidates a sense of disillusionment among the electorate which is not necessarily partisan. It is a manifestation of democracy taking a stand and a coherent voice rising above the bedlam. It is really not that unusual for incendiary politicians and demagogues to emerge in a democracy. A popular demagogue is indeed a sign that the electorate has acknowledged a crisis. It is also a sign that the American masses are tired of inequality and socio-economic problems that emerges from it. It is an indicator that the American electorate is facing the music and a clear signal that American voters are looking for parsimony in politics. At this point, people seem to be choosing between two extreme roads out of the mess. Their choice, of

The way this election has unfolded indicates a deep chasm between the intellectual elite and the American public. course, is informed by their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, they are picking two vastly divergent sides.

There is, nevertheless, a very meaningful consensus between the two poles that have emerged in the 2016 election. Ardent supporters of both Sanders and Trump want a government which is more populist in nature. This is a significant fact that Clinton and her menagerie should pay attention to. It is time for political leaders upholding Obama’s legacy to think about the problems posed by alienation of the masses.

The way this election has unfolded indicates a deep chasm between the intellectual elite and the American public. This cleavage needs to be addressed by those in power before they become parables of bureaucratic elite and reckless political figures disrupt the balance in domestic and international policies further exacerbating the problems faced by the political order today. It is time for political leaders to take the divide between Wall Street and the rest of American society seriously and address the deleterious collective public memory of suffering caused by the recession.

Finally, it is very crucial to react to the glaring indication that a vast majority of American society does not relate to the decisions and approach of the federal government. The 2016 presidential election, so far, has been an admonition that populism cannot be wished away in a democracy. The other presidential candidates who are relatively more conventional should constantly be asking themselves how Trump made it so far and how Bernie Sanders became such a formidable candidate.

The answers to these poignant questions will be crucial for the future president if he or she is committed to doing justice to the electorate.

L

ast Tuesday, Sepp Blatter returned to FIFA headquarters in Zurich to challenge the ruinous end of his 17-year reign as the leader of the world’s most powerful soccer association.

After a year of explosive corruption allegations, raids and resignations, the FIFA ethics committee found Blatter guilty of conflict of interest, exchanging illicit gifts and dereliction of duty. Citing his approval of a $2 million payment to UEFA president Michel Platini, the committee sentenced Blatter to an eight-year suspension from FIFA soccer in December.

Blatter’s suspension is the culmination of many years of alleged corruption, money laundering and bribery within FIFA — international scandals that involved hefty sums of money, national pride and corporate cover-ups.

While FIFA’s commercial sponsors, fans and players can appreciate a governing body that mediates internal corruption, FIFA has not yet held itself to the same pinnacle of liability for abuses of power at lower levels of the organization. Since Qatar won the bid for the 2022 World Cup, journalists and human rights activists have called upon FIFA to eliminate exploitation and abuse of the migrant laborers working on the construction of the extravagant World Cup infrastructure — a call that has largely gone unheeded.

Qatar — the richest country per capita in the world — also houses the highest ratio of migrant workers to citizens. Comprising over half of the national population, an estimated 1.4 million migrant workers seek jobs in Qatar. In recent years, the promises of a booming $260 billion construction project to prepare for the World Cup brought many foreign job seekers to Doha. Migrant workers in Qatar generally come from South Asian countries and low-income backgrounds. Human rights reports have indicated a pattern of Gulf companies and contractors engaging in predatory recruiting techniques — involving down payments by migrants for employment, deceptive job descriptions and salary promises and dishonest interest rates on loans for

Better FIFA, Better Cornell

deposits to the company — which result in a form of debt-bondage, through which companies hold control over their migrant employees. In accordance with kafala, the “visa sponsorship” contract, bosses retain migrant’s visa papers, and often require that workers hand over their passports as well.

Migrants express decreased mobility and a threatened sense of freedom — their ability to leave their job diminishes if their bosses maintain control over their visas and passports. Earning paltry compensation, the workers live in tightly packed hostels, where sanitation, health and safety conditions fall below coded standards and access to potable water is erratic. According to Amnesty International, workers are forbidden to form or join trade unions; legal restrictions obstruct worker’s capacity to collectively organize for better conditions.

Furthermore, migrant laborers face long and cumbersome trials to seek justice for labor abuse. Legal avenues for rectifying exploitation, debt-bondage, or unpaid wages are precarious, unreliable, expensive, and difficult to access.

Human rights activists additionally decry the high dangers of physical labor in the sweltering heat of Qatar summers — a report from the International Trades Union Confederation shows that an unparalleled rate of laborers have perished in the recent construction boom. In spite of international outcry over the labor conditions for workers preparing the 2022 World Cup, numerous corresponding lawsuits and hundreds of workers’ deaths, FIFA has kept a squeamish distance from the labor abuse allegations. In contrast with the flurry of court proceedings, international press conferences, and multinational raids surrounding and leading up to Sepp Blatter’s suspension, FIFA prosecutors have not undertaken any radical upheavals to undo internal corruption against the migrant workers. The FIFA ethics committee’s prioritizes seem to rank justice for misused dollars over justice for thousands of exploited migrant laborers working to bring a Qatari World Cup to fruition.

As soccer fans, consumers of the products advertised by World Cup sponsors and as people who (as Judith Butler has said) are “undone” by the exploitation of others’ vulnerability, we, too, are accountable to the fulfillment of labor justice for migrant workers. And while the laborers in Qatar may seem a world away, at Cornell, we know this issue hits close to the heart and home.

In Ithaca, the Cornell Organization for Labor Action (COLA) has called upon Cornell Administration to undertake similar action towards mitigating possible labor abuse on the Weill Cornell Medical campus in Qatar.

Well aware of the structural insufficiencies that posit migrant laborers at high risk for exploitation, COLA has pressured the University to enlist a third party investigator to inspect the potentiality for exploitation on the Cornell campus in Education City, Qatar — a measure that was supported by the Student Assembly in S.A. Resolution 16. Nonetheless, as the Sun has previously reported, President Garrett referred to this proposition as “frankly, unrealistic,” and wrote that a wide-scale investigation of labor abuses “threatens to divert resources from areas where we can be most effective” in a response to S.A. president Juliana Batista.

Too often, corporate, state and collegiate bodies worry about the loss of resources only when they perceive a loss of capital. Cornell administration tells us that our highest accountability is to return on investment, at the possible expense of those who may be crushed in the pursuit of profit.

FIFA and Cornell — two elite powers vested with immense privilege and influence — have an obligation to do better, to use our privileged platform to disrupt global chains of exploitation (of which we may be perpetuating) and to ensure workers at all levels of our organizations are guaranteed security, rights, compassion, and humanity.

Edmonds’ Hat Trick Not Enough for Men’s Lacrosse M. LACROSSE

Continued from page 12

To begin the game, Massimilian won the opening faceoff and sprinted down the field and, when Penn State failed to stop him, found the back of the net to give Cornell its first goal of the season. The goal was the secondquickest in program history, behind the record that Massimilian set last year against Harvard.

The first quarter ended with a tied score at 2, but it was all Cornell, who gets a week of practice before the team travels to Florida for a battle against Hobart, for the majority of the

period. The Red held a 16-4 advantage on shots in the period, maintaining possession for the majority of the quarter.

“I think overall from the start we had nice long possessions, which is a big positive,” Edmonds said. “But the biggest thing is finishing opportunities which we didn’t. We had two- and threeminute possessions in the fourth quarter, we were getting looks we just weren’t burying them.”

“We knew it was going to be a 60-minute game, unfortunately we played 45 or 50 minutes today,” Kerwick said.

Cornell Back on Track With Three-Point Weekend

Following 2-2 tie with Harvard,Gillam leads Red to shutout win against Dartmouth on road

By ZACH SILVER Sun Staff Writer

They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, so having turnaround performances against two Ivy rivals on ice must be twice as nice.

This past weekend, Cornell (13-8-6, 8-7-5 ECAC) got a second look at two teams who gave the Red a great deal of trouble earlier in the season. Last time around, Dartmouth (14-12-1, 11-9-0) and Harvard (15-8-4, 11-5-4) handed the Cornell two straight losses in the midst of the team’s longest winless streak of the season.

In the defensive battles, the Red was able to redeem two disappointing performances and muster a three-point weekend, tying Harvard on Friday and narrowly beating Dartmouth 1-0 on Saturday.

“We are starting to play better than we have been in the past,” head coach Mike Schafer ’86 said.

The Crimson and Green put up nine goals collectively against the Red in the earlier weekend, so defense was without a doubt going to be a focus going into this weekend, according to Schafer.

“We know for both Harvard and Dartmouth we had to have tight gaps all weekend and play well defensively,”

Terrific Teemu | Senior forward Teemu Tiitinen scored a goal with 5:07 left in the second period to tie up Harvard at Cambridge. The goal was just Tiitinen’s second career lamp lighter.

Schafer said. “Both these teams have been doing a great job this year creating offense.”

Yet again, the story of the weekend was junior goalie Mitch Gillam, who recorded his sixth shutout of the season, stopping 65-of-68 shots.

“Our guys did a good job of letting [Gillam] see pucks,” Schafer said. “He also did a good job using his stick around the net controlling rebounds. He was solid and didn’t let things get through.”

Perhaps the biggest turning point in the Dartmouth game was the Red’s ability to fend off a 5-on-3 unscathed after two minor penalties committed by senior Christian Hilbrich and freshman Anthony Angello.

“It was huge coming off that 5-on-3,” Gillam said. “We just clogged up the middle and didn’t give them anything.

We played the way we wanted to win.”

Along with the 5-on-3, the Red felt the momentum from the impressive tie with Harvard helped lead into Saturday’s game.

“We got our swagger back and we were building off the game against Harvard [on Friday],” Gillam added.

The biggest question with only two games left in the regular season is where the Red will end up in the standings.

With two points separating Cornell in seventh place with St Lawrence in fourth place, the ECAC is still up for grabs after third place. Every point from now on is huge.

“It’s a big win in both the national and league picture,” Schafer said. “We knew we had to get points and focus on getting a win.”

With the two games left coming against RPI and Union, two teams the Red has not beaten yet this year, they are not letting the past dictate its confidence going forward.

“We’ve had that [playoffs] mindset all year,” Gillam said.

“I think we can be a top team in the nation and I think we can turn heads in the end.”

Finally, freshman Colton Rupp knotted up the score at seven with his first career goal.

“We pushed the guys to [be confident] in the fourth quarter and [Edmonds] led the way and really set the tone offensively for us,” Kerwick said. “We had some chances and unfortunately you can’t dig a hole like we did in the third quarter and expect to come out on top against a very good opponent like Penn State.”

Mistakes similar to those made in the third quarter again resurfaced late in the game. Following Cornell’s flurry of goals,

junior faceoff specialist Dom Massimilian won the faceoff but was whistled for a violation, giving the Nittany Lions the ball. Penn State would eventually score on the ensuing possession.

Cornell had one last shot at tying the game late in the fourth quarter, but a crease violation gave the ball back to Penn State, all but eliminating the Red’s shot at completing the comeback.

The Red began the game strong, showing poise and control in the first 15 minutes.
