Cornell Suspends 3rd Fraternity in 4 Weeks

By NICHOLAS BOGEL-BURROUGHS City Editor

Cornell suspended the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity on Friday, making the 100-yearold chapter the third fraternity suspended by the University in just over one month.

“The Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life has announced that Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity has committed a serious violation of the University Recognition Policy and as of March 3, 2017 has been placed by Cornell on interim suspension status,” Joseph A. Burke, executive director of campus and community engagement, said in a statement posted online.

An Afghan family of six arrived in Ithaca last week under a Special Immigrant Visa — the first family resettled in Ithaca by Catholic Charities of Tompkins and Tioga since the charity received a grant from the U.S. Department of State.

The immigration status of the family is different than families who have been classified as refugees, but they are resettled through refugee resettlement agencies like Catholic Charities with help from Ithaca Welcomes Refugees. The special visa is given to families who have worked for or on behalf of the United States and who are facing “an ongoing serious threat as a consequence of their

It is an exciting time at The Sun. Our beloved paper is finally, SOFIA HU / SUN SENIOR STAFF

truly entering the 21st century, and the 135th Editorial Board has the awesome (in both the biblical and modern sense) responsibility of

shepherding it through its transition.

Fortunately, the newest editors have proven themselves over the past six weeks.

They have shown that they have what it takes to publish what a sketchy Princeton Review article once deemed “The Best

College Newspaper in America.” Fueled by Gorgers Subs, takeout Thai food and crippling addictions to hallucinations induced by

sleep deprivation, The Sun’s editors are more than up for this crazy task.

Without further ado, we are proud to present the editors of the 135th editorial board: At the helm of The Sun is Sophia Deng ’19 (pronounced Sopp-HYah), our newly elected Editor-in-Chief.

Although Sophia is a sophomore, she has shown experience and a feel for The Sun beyond her years, only forgetting the existence of the opinion department on two occasions. A former blogs editor, Sophia is very excited to finally learn all about this See SUN page 4

Rep.Reed to Hold Ithaca Town Hall Feeding America CEO:

By DENA BEHAR

Sun Staff Writer

Rep. Tom Reed (R–N.Y.) will hold a town hall meeting in Ithaca on Saturday, March 11, allowing Ithaca residents to discuss current political issues with the ardent supporter of President Donald Trump.

“Engaging in a conversation with constituents about REP. REED the issues facing our district is important,” Reed said in a press release. “We continue to hold town hall meetings because I believe that having an open dialogue with my neighbors in New York’s 23rd district is the cornerstone of our democracy.”

Reed is among the top one percent in Congress for holding town hall meetings, having held 68 meetings since the beginning of his term in 2015, according to The Hill, which noted that Republicans have surpassed Democrats in holding town hall meetings.

“Among the 50 members of Congress who have held the most in-person town hall meetings over the last two years, 39 are Republicans,” The Hill reported.

In February, protesters conducted a sit-in at Reed’s Ithaca office for days demanding that the congressman speak to his constituents either in person or via video.

“Throughout the days they were camped out, people brought the protesters food and took photos of themselves holding signs asking for Reed — who was in Washington, D.C. — to make an Ithaca appearance,” The Ithaca Voice reported.

The sit-in finally ended on Feb. 16 when Reed showed up at his Ithaca office late at night and spoke with the protesters for over an hour before snapping pictures and shaking hands of those protesting him.

Reed will be holding three other town hall meetings on March 11 in Ovid, Manchester and Pulteney, N.Y. The Ithaca town hall meeting will is scheduled for 8 a.m. at the Southside Community Center.

PCCW Helps Link Successful Alumnae PCCW

excited to welcome Lynn Perry Wooten as the new dean of Dyson School. Wooten is also coming to Cornell from the University of Michigan, where she is currently the senior associate dean for academic and student excellence.

Rawlings additionally thanked Chuck Feeney ’56, the previously anonymous donor who gave the University $350 million to build Cornell Tech.

“He has earned, in his life, 8 billion dollars,” Rawlings said.

“And he has given away 8 billion dollars.”

Rawlings’ time as president, he said, has shown just how unique the Cornell community is, particularly how engaged students are in both their academics and their social community.

“They get here, they work their

heads off,” Rawlings said of students. “They double, triple major, join every group in the world, they have fun. And there are very few schools in the world that can really say that.”

Keelin Abbott ’17, student liaison of the PCCW Steering Committee, joined to help facilitate the conversation between PCCW members and the student body.

“These women are all extremely successful, and they love Cornell,” Abbott said. “That’s pretty much the best combination.

They raise money for Cornell by holding meetings and events all over the country, but this symposium really brings it back home for them.”

Linking alumnae to the current Cornell community is of key interest to the PCCW, and their symposium is an enriching means of accomplishing that goal by provid-

ing an opportunity for members to meet fellow alumnae, learn about current university programs, and revisit their alma mater.

“We are building this connectivity across generations,” said PCCW member Heidi Grenek ’92. “This symposium is a great way to both reconnect and reenergize ourselves in our commitment to service for Cornell. Women here are from all walks of life and different stages of their career, and have an opportunity for cross-generational sharing.”

“Women need a space with other women, to learn from them, network and find a support system,” Pérez-Rosselló added. “It is also important for students to know that their alumnae are here and behind them. We want to help them in any way.”

U.S.Hunger ‘Staggering’

By ANNE KIM Sun Contributor

Diana Aviv, CEO of Feeding America, told the President’s Council of Cornell Women on Friday that the state of hunger across the nation can be summarized in one word: “scandalous.”

Aviv examined the enormity of the problem of domestic food insecurity and the inability to ascertain when, where or how future meals will be obtained.

“The scope of [hunger] is frankly staggering,” Aviv said, “One in every eight people don’t get enough nutritious, healthy food on a regular basis. Fourteen percent of American households are food insecure.”

Aviv contextualized food insecurity by sharing just a few of the stories of the 46 million individuals that Feeding America — the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization — helps annually.

For instance, Aviv relayed the story of Jennifer, who she said works 65 hours a week but still lives in the shadow of food insecurity due to the absence of livable wages.

College campuses are not excluded from the endemic problem of food insecurity, Aviv said.

“Crunch time often hits when students need to buy books, their prepaid monthly meal cards run out, or during academic breaks when dining halls are closed,” Aviv said.

“Often, at these times, students don’t know where their next meal will come from.”

While Aviv established that hunger has no single story, and that food-insecure individuals have no typical profile, she urged the audience to consider both the individual circumstances and the broad socioeconomic conditions that are conducive to food insecurity.

For Aviv, the problem of food insecurity can also be related to an almost reckless attitude towards food, especially in the United States.

Food insecurity “is further compounded by the tragic paradox in America, and that

is that our country produces enough food to feed the world, and yet 40 percent of usable, consumable food ends up in landfills,” Aviv said.

Consequently, the scope of the problem of food insecurity in America is not only limited to food-insecure individuals, but also extended to businesses, corporations and ordinary Americans who partake in the habit of wastefulness.

“Can we, people lucky enough to live in one of the most prosperous nations on the planet, allow our neighbors to go hungry everyday?”

Aviv asked.

For Feeding America, the answer is a resounding “no.”

Aviv described how the organization has not only worked with local food banks and pantries to provide immediate hunger relief and supported legislation to reduce food waste, but also formed partnerships with national food corporations to redistribute food.

Aviv emphasized all the ways in which any American could be part of the solution.

Reducing personal food waste, donating personal resources to food banks and hunger-relief organizations and contacting local representatives regarding hunger-related policies are among some of the solutions Aviv noted.

She acknowledged that, as complex as the problem of domestic food insecurity is, there is no single or easy solution.

While Aviv recognized the obstacles of addressing the problem at all levels, she maintained that we must form partnerships between the government, businesses and the people, and continue to push forward.

Aviv refused to consider the challenge as being insurmountable, encouraging all Americans to participate in the fight against food insecurity in whatever capacity.

“It will take our time, and our talent and our resources, as well as our collective tenacity ... in our pursuit of a hunger-free America,” Aviv said.

Afghan Family Arrives in Ithaca to Warm Food,Helpful Volunteers WELCOME

ing “an ongoing serious threat as a consequence of their employment.”

“We are excited to share that a family moved in just days ago,” Ithaca Welcomes Refugees said in a Facebook post on March 3.

“IWR volunteers stocked the cupboards with coffee, lentils, rice and yogurt, and filled the freezer and refrigerator with several homemade entrees and desserts such as dal, Sabzi Challow (spinach and rice), Qorma-e-Lubia (bean stew),

sweet rice pudding and Kulche Badami (Afghan almond cookies),” the post said.

Sue Chaffee, director of CCTT’s Immigrant Services Program, previously told The Sun that the charity has been working with the Ithaca City School District, local doctors and volunteers “to help ensure this family will have a warm welcome and a smooth transition to our community.”

The charity was approved for a State Department grant late last year under which it hopes to resettle up to 50 refugees — or between 10 and 12 families.

Two Syrian families who had been approved to resettle in Ithaca are in jeopardy as they wait in a refugee camp in Jordan to see how the legal battle over President Donald Trump’s executive order indefinitely banning Syrian refugees plays out, The Sun previously reported. Trump has said he plans to issue a second executive order after a federal court stayed the first.

Chaffee previously told The Sun that the charity was even more confident in the family’s abilty to acclimate to Ithaca because they have a friend in the area who can help them with

interpretation, travel to the grocery store and other initial tasks.

In a thank you note republished by Ithaca Welcomes Refugees, CCTT said the Afghan father told the charity he was grateful for the dishes volunteers prepared.

“As long as I live here, having those foods waiting for my family is something I will remember,” he said, according to the post.

Catholic Charities hopes to resettle at least 10 additional families in Ithaca, which Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick ’09 has said is continuing a decades-long Ithaca tradition of welcoming

families from unsafe areas and providing them with refuge.

“Removing six people from a warzone is a blessing to be able to do that,” he said in January, when it was announced the Afghan family of six would be the first to arrive. “And I’m excited for our city that we’re going to continue in what’s now becoming a pretty long tradition of being a sanctuary for people fleeing oppression and violence all over the world.”

135th Editorial Board BeginsTenure at The Sun SUN

Continued from page 1

“print paper” to which everyone has been referring.

Dahlia Wilson ’19 finds herself as The Sun’s new Business Manager, which is confusing because she swears she’s “the least corporate person you’ve ever met.” She said this, of course, while discussing her involvement in the exceeding corporate professional business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi, but I suppose we can give her the benefit of the doubt.

In a clear indication of his masochistic tendencies, Josh Girsky ’19 has accepted the punishing job of Managing Editor. After a year of managing sleepless nights and recalcitrant staff writers as news editor, Josh said, “Let’s do it again, but with two more sections!” While he’s not busy breaking major stories, raking the university media relations department over hot coals or getting tipsy off one sip of champagne, Josh enjoys reminding his suitemates that moderation, circumspection and a willingness to listen are all valuable qualities to possess.

Jacob Rubashkin ’19, the new Associate Editor, disagrees with Josh about moderation and circumspection — Jacob plans to bring to the opinion section the scalding hot takes he perfected while writing his opinion column, and will continue to do so until he is indefinitely detained by the United States government for one too many comments on President Trump’s hand size.

Lydia Kim ’18 is the incoming Advertising Manager. When she’s not at The Sun, she can be found exploring art museums,admiring campus architecture, or with a Starbucks cup in her hand to fuel her caffeine dependency.

Senior Sun officials tell us that Prajj Dey ’18 is our incoming Web Editor, but as of now we cannot verify that Prajj actually exists as flesh-and-blood human being. We have a functioning website, so clearly someone is doing their job.

Zach Silver ’19 has assumed the office of Sports Editor, though his real job at The Sun is social media sensei. He’s always quick to tell you if your posts aren’t on point, and he’s very territorial with his space in the Lynah

Rink press box. If you listen closely at the office, you can hear him off in the distance whispering “follow Sun Sports on Twitter…”

Lev Akabas ’19 will serve as Blogs editor.

Lev is known to speak in listicles — ask him what he wants for lunch and his response will be, “Five Sandwiches on Central Campus That’ll Blow Your Mind! (Number 3 will leave you shook).” Jeremiah Kim ‘19 will serve as Assistant Blogs Editor, and kindly asks that you not speak to him until you’ve eaten a full breakfast.

Brian LaPlaca ’18 is The Sun’s new Design Editor, and he’d like all of you to know that 95 percent of your questions about Quark are more quickly answered with a Google search than by asking him.

Here to serve another year as Photography editor is Cameron Pollack ’18. A native of Philadelphia, Cameron possess a magical camera that adds at minimum three points to the attractiveness of his subjects. Assisting Cameron are Assistant Photography Editors Karly “The only thing interesting about me is my inability to straighten my arm” Krasnow ’18 and Michael “I decided not to show up at the office today” Li ’20.

Resurrecting the long-dormant post of City Editor is Ithaca native Nick BogelBurroughs ’19, who was almost kicked off his high school newspaper for failing to write about sports and insists on wearing his Ithaca Times sweatshirt around the office.

The 135’s esteemed News Editors are Rachel Whalen ’19, of Buffalo, who delights in seeing the pain in the eyes of outof-staters as they trudge through the snow; Anna Delwiche ’19, of Baltimore, who maintains for some odd reason that the D.C. suburbs aren’t part of “the real Maryland”; and Stephany Kim ’19, of San Ramon, who, despite not being in the Editorial Board picture, is in fact a contributing member of the Sun community.

Incoming Arts and Entertainment Editor Katie Sims ’20 single-handedly destroyed her high school newspaper and now works in a sealed glass booth at the Sun office to prevent further destruction. She is a disappointment to her father, who had hoped she would write for news. Joining her as Arts and Entertainment Editor is Andrei Kozyrev

President Donald Trump arrives in Orlando, Florida on Saturday after making controversial claims on Twitter — with no evidence — that President Obama tapped his phones.

’20, from Moscow by way of Miami. Andrei strongly denies any involvement in the suspicious circumstances surrounding Saturday’s election.

Arnav Ghosh ’19 is The Sun’s new Science Editor. “Arnav…” managing editor Josh Girsky mused, “now there’s a nice kid who really loves science.” Originally from Mumbai, Arnav is tasked with keeping it real in a world of alternative facts and conspiracy theories.

Due to a booming Ithaca food scene, The Sun has elevated not one but two Dining Editors, Olivia Lutwak ’18 and Janna Yu ’18. Though they ran far too kind a review of the Hot Truck during their compet period, they learned from the experience and are now churning out reviews at blazing speed, keeping Cornellians and Ithacans informed of all the latest delectables available.

Juhwan Park ’18 is the new Video and Multimedia Editor. While he’s not busy making content for The Sun he does his own multimedia as a member of Last Call.

Assistant Design Editors Megan Roche ’19, of Hillsborough, and Emma Williams ’19 will be great, but they’ll never be Melody Li in Josh Girsky’s eyes.

The Sun returns to its full complement of Assistant News Editors, with Alisha Gupta ’20, Emma Newburger ’18, Girisha Arora ’20 and John Yoon ’20. If you need to kill five hours, ask Girisha about the best Indian food in Ithaca.

Despite our lackluster athletics, The Sun has deemed it necessary to employ a record four Assistant Sports Editors: Charles Cotton ’19, Josh Zhu ’20, Jack Kantor ’19 and Jamil Rahman ’19. That’s an assistant editor for every win by the Big Red football team this year.

Marketing Manager Kathleen Joo ’18 aims to bring the people skills and business acumen she has acquired at the hotel school to the business side of The Sun. Finally, Dustin Liu ’19, The Sun’s incoming Human Resources Manager, is one of the only non-celebrities I know to consistently get over 1,000 likes on his Facebook profile picture, which I assume is a good thing for a Human Resources Manager to be doing. He is incapable of smiling with his teeth closed.

From the Editor

A New Dawn THE SUN ELECTED ITS 135th editorial board Saturday morning. As members of the incoming board, we are excited to continue the legacy of our outgoing editors, expanding The Sun’s presence within the greater Ithaca community and shaping a generation of students who take a novel approach to exploring our culture and history.

Last year, we downsized our print operation, reducing the number of weekly issues from five to three. The decision was met with skepticism: would the reduction diminish the quality of our content? Needless to say, the past year has proved otherwise.

Adopting a “web-first” mentality has streamlined our newsroom. We can now break stories and cover incidents with unprecedented timeliness and efficiency. Our revamped online platform allows us to enhance our stories with compelling data and interactive features that actively engage our readership.

As we move forward with this innovative approach, we will aim to cover our community in a more holistic manner, exploring how Ithaca and the Greater Tompkins County area are affected by various policies and events on both a local and national scale. This shift is more crucial than ever given today’s turbulent sociopolitical climate.

It is a difficult time for all — questionable leadership, waning interest in journalism and fractured trust in traditional media. Despite this, we will continue to work around the clock to brainstorm ideas, publish stories and develop projects that will engage more readers across campus and beyond. In doubling our efforts to navigate the uncharted waters of digital journalism and draw from previously untapped talent in various disciplines, we will continue to keep you informed to the best of our ability.

Thank you for staying with us through these trying times. You, our readers, have always inspired us to grow. We are incredibly excited to share what we have in store for you.

— S.Y.D.

Jacqueline Groskaufmanis | The Dissent

The Pursuit of Perspective I

think the “we all need to talk to people we don’t agree with” conversation has been beaten to death from every angle, but I also think it’s really true, and can be hard to do here at Cornell. I’ve always known that Cornell’s student body and faculty are overwhelmingly liberal, but I only recently took a look at how the composition broke down in numbers. If I’m being honest, I’ve never cared about the political leanings of my professors because I haven’t given it much thought in the first place — most likely because they’ve always been subtle or consistent with my own. If you’ve ever read this column, you know that I’m a pretty liberal person. In my time at Cornell, I’ve found that there’s something comfortable and satisfying about hearing my convictions confirmed in the classroom. On the other hand, I think an argument can be made for the merits of learning from faculty with whom you disagree. For the overwhelmingly liberal population at Cornell, that means conservatives.

I understand that hiring more “conservative” professors isn’t a straightforward initiative, particularly because conservatives in the United States are overwhelmingly white — a group that certainly has not been barred from representation in academia throughout history.

But assuming we could hire more conservative professors and professors who are diverse in other respects, why wouldn’t we?

As a student, I feel like I’m missing out on the opportunity to explain my thinking, because I don’t usually have to.

In my experience, one of the easiest ways to determine where I stand on an issue or develop the logic behind an argument is to be challenged on it. While at Cornell, I’ve been lucky to learn from some of the smartest people I’ve ever met, but none of my major assumptions have been challenged in the classroom in any capacity other than “devil’s advocate.”

The one concession I’ll make in defense of keeping the status quo is that I’ve never had a professor try to teach his or her opinion. For this reason, I don’t see the majority liberal faculty as an urgent issue or an assault on conservative students, but rather just an interesting phenomenon that could be looked into.

I’ve been lectured on theories of democracy, the legislative process, mass incarceration and election strategy, but I’ve never learned “Trump bad, Hillary good.” Or anything close to that.

That said, a conservative student might receive the same lectures differently; I have no idea. The fact that I don’t notice the political leanings of my professors is probably a consequence of the fact that I most likely am in line with all of them. In fact, I don’t even know how to compare a liberal professor to a con-

servative professor because I’m not sure I’ve ever had a conservative professor.

And while some may argue that this is irrelevant, I think that’s an oversimplification. In an intro biology class, sure, political leanings don’t matter, but in a class on presidential power, healthcare or global economics, it’s absolutely relevant — or at the very least, interesting.

A friend of mine who transferred to Cornell last year said that two of her economics classes — which covered relatively similar material — were taught in different ways, because one professor was expressly in favor of free trade and the other was openly critical of it. Both, she said, were legitimate academic perspectives, but the professor’s personal beliefs still framed the material in subtle ways.

“I wouldn’t say it impacted the course, because they were pretty standard econ classes, but it impacted the way I used the information outside of class,” she told me. I don’t think the ideological leanings of faculty is something that necessarily needs to be fixed, in part because I don’t even know how this kind of reform could take place. But it’s definitely something that we should recognize, even if just for ourselves.

I believe in liberalism and progressive ideals, but, as a caricature of the Idealistic College Kid, I guess I’m still pretty sold on this whole “bipartisanship” thing. If the thought of adding one or two moderately conservative professors to a department that currently has none seems antagonistic to you, take a look at the ‘ideological pool’ that exists just miles from our upstate blue bubble.

Besides, the hiring of conservative faculty wouldn’t mean the imposition of a conservative course load; it would just be an option for those who are curious. We all ultimately have say in what we study and who we learn from.

By the time students reach college — particularly if they’re studying political science —– they’ve developed their political identities. My guess would be that if a bunch of staunch Bernie Bros had a really awesome conservative professor, they wouldn’t all be going out and buy Make America Great Again hats at the end of the semester. On the reverse, I don’t think our liberal professors are “indoctrinating” us (contrary to what The O’Reilly Factor may believe). So why not put those political assumptions to the test? Ask a liberal to explain their logic, for a change, and give their evidence, and practice being the ideological underdog. I’d like to think that I know how to argue my points, but sometimes doing so feels like a monologue.

YouTube Stars Deserve Better

T

he year 2016 was rough. It was particularly rough for Andrew Ucles. Who is that you ask? Think Bear Grylls, only legit. Bear Grylls fakes bear attacks and stays at motels during survival videos.

Andrew Ucles spent 67 days in the Australian outback with some tools and a GoPro; he would actually attack a bear (although he hasn’t yet).

Andrew shares his wildman stunts on YouTube. His most popular video (my favorite) is called “How to catch a Kangaroo, disguised as an Emu”. The title says it all.

Andrew grabs a kangaroo by the tail by disguising himself with an emu pelt. His unbelievable videos earned him a TV contract, but when a parasite from the Amazon weakened Andrew’s immune system, he spent four months hospitalized and the network got tired of waiting.

Knowing Andrew’s TV deal fell through is upsetting.

Content creators on Youtube aren’t fairly compensated.

Andrew Ucles deserves to be dead. Another video he

It’s time we compensated YouTube content creators fairly for the risks they take. There aren’t hard facts about YouTube compensation (although lots of YouTubers make videos about it).

It seems every 100 views earns a cent — which is pretty bad. made (also a favorite) is called “Catching Wild Rabbits using Snakes.” This is exactly what is sounds like.

Andrew flushes out a rabbit by nonchalantly grabbing a handful of venomous snakes without equipment and dropping them into its hole.

It’s time we compensated YouTube content creators fairly for the risks they take. There aren’t hard facts about YouTube compensation (although lots of YouTubers make videos about it). It seems every 100 views earns a cent — which is pretty bad considering Andrew Ucles only earned 1.5 million views for a video where he stuck his tongue into an ant nest like an echidna (“ANT ATTACK AND ECHIDNA”).

Some might say, we as a society shouldn’t encourage Andrew Ucles and other Youtubers to risk their lives for our entertainment. I think this is a mistake. In contrast to the facade of television and movies, the authenticity of Youtube is irresistibly refreshing. Nothing is more genuine than watching a grown man wearing a suit made of roadkill being pulverized by a hoard of bees after grabbing a chunk from their hive. If I needed to watch more ads, or pay a monthly premium like Spotify, to make sure Andrew was taken care of, I would.

I think YouTube and cable networks are to blame.

YouTube purposely pits content creators against each other. It has actually modified its website to stop channels from mobilizing their fans’ support. It has no incentive to change its format to earn more revenue for its content creators. Cable networks have no incentive to encourage content creators like Andrew Ucles when people will settle for Bear Grylls.

In an ideal world, networks would work with YouTube on transitioning talent and overhauling traditional advertising structures. The changes are inevitable.

As YouTube grows, networks will improve their content and YouTube will better compensate its talent. Still, it would be nice if that happened sooner rather than later.

Andrew Ucles shouldn’t have to wait for fair compensation. That’s this week’s schtick. Tune in alternating Mondays for my final semester.

OPINION Letter to the Editor

Cornell Undergraduate Veterans Association endorses Dustin Liu’19 To the Editor: The Cornell Undergraduate Veterans Association is proud to endorse Dustin Liu ’19 for Student Trustee.

Dustin recognizes the challenges facing our Veteran students at Cornell and is committed to giving them a platform to voice their concerns. As a representative on the Student Assembly, Dustin helped advocate for an increase of on-campus support for Veteran students through the creation of a resource center, knowledgeable staff and a team room to ensure the effective recruitment, retention and transition of Veteran students.

Dustin’s leadership spans across our campus. He is the Resident Advisor in Clara Dickson Hall, VP Outreach at Cayuga’s Watchers, First Year Initiative Mentor of CAPSU, an Ambassador for Consent Ed, a Facilitator for the Intergroup Dialogue Project, the Social Chair for Phi Delta Theta, Policy Chair for the Ivy Council, a panelist for Peer Educator of Gender and Sexuality and the Human Resources Manager for the Cornell Daily Sun. Dustin’s involvement at Cornell demonstrates his commitment to advocating for student voices to be directly involved with the decisions made by the Board of Trustees. Dustin’s commitment to accessibility is in parallel with CUVA’s mission of creating a more welcoming campus for Veterans.

Dustin believes every person should be able to achieve their fullest potential, strives to help promote a stronger understanding of student governance and paths to influence change on campus and urges the University to provide resources that would allow every student to take advantage of the opportunities at Cornell.

We proudly Trust in Dustin and ask that you do too.

Voting begins on Wednesday, March 8.

I

Tables of Zeus:A Discourse

’m boycotting Klarman hall, or so I tell people angrily whenever people mention Klarman in conversation. I understand this statement is (A) ridiculous considering my presence at Klarman is effectively meaningless, and (B) barely even true because I refuse to miss cauliflower curry day.

Alas, I’m supposedly boycotting Klarman. I have some sort of good reasons: The entire “I’m so, uhh weird ... I’m interested in, uhh, art” aesthetic feels utterly disingenuous, and the fact that so many people are wearing the same glasses is creepy. Those reasons are trivial in impact, however, compared to my main, but bad reason: I can’t get a damn table.

If you don’t know who Warby Parker is, or if you aren’t studying a social science in Arts, then you may not be hip to the notorious tabular situation at Temple of Zeus.

Let me lay it out for you: We have six sitting strata at Zeus. In order from most sought after to most unwanted, there’s internal rectangular, internal circular, external circular, couch, bench and floor. Note that there are some substrata, such as internal circular: outlet-adjacent and internal circular: outlet-distal.

Note also that I’m generalizing to some extent; there are some who think the couches are better than the tables, but they are simply fools tricked into loving their own subjugation. To quote Rousseau, “Slaves lose everything in their chains, even the desire to escape from them.”

The stratification of Zeus seating is primarily structural; some seats are simply more favorable than others in terms of outlet adjacence (as previously discussed), distance from the soup line, acoustics and space. As a result of these structural inequalities, however, we see social stratification emerge as well. Social capital is transformed into tabular capital at Zeus. The

more Zeus-friends you have, the more likely it is that you can either secure a seat at an optimal table initially or maintain a table longterm. Many social circles communicate via online group messaging platforms (such as Groupme, Facebook messenger, iMessage and Slack) to inquire about Zeus seating ahead of time or to make arrangements for one member of the social group to maintain the

of Zeus wouldn’t be so considerable if it were not for the largerscale inequalities between Cornell Dining and Temple of Zeus (a matter for a different column). For now, let us consider tackling the problem on a smaller scale.

Assuming that Zeus is self-interested as a firm and is primarily preoccupied with making money, the cafe itself does not have a vested interest in ameliorating the seating inequalities. The solution could come from greater regulation from the Cornell administration, although as the Cornell administration grows in scope each day, I become increasingly wary of administrative overreach.

A third party could intervene, though this would likely result in the exploitation of seating areas rather than accessibility (imagine if a firm decided to place individuals in every highdemand seating area then auctioned off access to each seat: lucrative for the firm, but harmful to all).

A democratically elected board could organize a lottery system in which individuals interested in sitting are given a bid to a certain table. A project team could develop a thermal pad to be placed on each seat such that after a given period of time the seat becomes too hot and the occupant is forced to leave.

A social movement could encourage prospective sitters to challenge occupants to fight in exchange for the seat.

Zeus himself would hate to see his mighty name besmirched by such heinousness. While I may not know for certain how to reverse these grave atrocities, I do know that we need to speak up about this issue. After all, awareness is the first step on the staircase to change.

Unfortunately, as a result of this social stratification, the well-seated remain seated well and the poorly-seated remain seated poorly. This cycle is not indestructible, however; many, in fact, break the cycle by engaging in arguably unethical methods. group’s occupation of the table.

Unfortunately, as a result of this social stratification, the well-seated remain seated well and the poorlyseated remain seated poorly. This cycle is not indestructible, however; many, in fact, break the cycle by engaging in arguably unethical methods of obtaining seats. The practice of hovering over a table with a single occupant with the intention of intimidating said occupant into vacating is not uncommon, and the more insidious gradual conquest of a singleoccupant table is almost too commonplace. We are all familiar with an intruder’s seemingly innocuous, “Is anyone sitting here?” followed by more intruders joining in with the intruder until we, the original occupants, become the minority and are forced to work, eat and live under the tyranny of the majority.

How do we assuage these injustices, brought upon by structural inequalities and perpetuated by our generation’s moral degradation?

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT CAMERON POLLACK / SUN PHOTO EDITOR

The Head and the Heart at the State Theatre The past and present of the Seattle indie-folk outfit

BY ALLISON ARTEAGA Sun Staff Writer

The move from a small label to Warner Bros. for the Signs of Light album should leave no fan surprised that the stage production was as polished as the album’s established indie pop sound. Hanging lights and potted ferns were arranged across the stage, like a dreamy NYLON Mag photo shoot, and the draped reflective curtains in the back and twinkly lights atop the antique piano were impressive alone. An impressive light show weaved through the setlist, neon colors (sometimes a complimentary yellow over violet, but always bright) and floor lights always in motion created a stage your eyes couldn’t ignore. A disco ball was even added during the sixth song, and as Josiah and Jonathan crooned the last line of “Let’s be Still” the lights switched off right as the final chord was strummed, a beautiful quiet moment after long projections of light.

Echoes versus hard light set up the conflicting atmosphere, 30 year old men with their girlfriends holding cheap beer, young college students shivering and unused to the Ithaca winters, sprinkles of couples on date night — every single person was standing up throughout the 2 hour long concert and what a wonderful Saturday night festival feeling that created.

Nothing was jarring, only a feeling of togetherness was about.

Almost as important as the main show, Springtime Carnivore (not Springtime Carnival as lead-singer Greta Morgan reiterated several times after seeing it misprinted on the ticket) perfectly framed the before and after situation of The Head and the Heart. The tiny L.A. band was reminiscent of the early years of the Head and the Heart, 70s springtime outfits for the foursome, the familiar wailing and low-range of the famed Seattle alternative rock scene, and setlist composed of wellmeaning B-sides. It was almost as if the 20-minute introduction, of earthy tones, pure garage band quality production, innocent play with the front row (“I’ll show you a good time later don’t worry!”) from Springtime Carnivore was a look back at the humble beginnings for the Head and the Heart. It told the audience the band understood their past and their present, so complaints they had forgotten their roots were unfounded.

The set switched from bittersweet final dance at a mid-sized town prom to summer festival commercial — all only great as memorable snippets in the background of something better.

Not a complete 180 (maybe a 90 degree shift) from their sophomore album, Signs of Light is fully aware it is in fact a pop rock record with an indie folk audience. The album’s setlist blended together at times, as each song followed The Lumineers’ song structure to a T and ignored the magic of Charity Rose’s distinct vocals over a chorus that calls for crowd

chants. It’s very clear this is a band on the lineup for Coachella with lines like “Come on darlin’ won’t you let me/ I’ll drive you home” and AABB rhyming (for the crowd).

Original online fans since 2009 and critics since the 2011 Lost in My Mind hype train hold a nearly unanimous disappointment in the latest album, hinting at a total sell-out track listing by the next release. Perhaps an unfair mouthpiece for other indie acts that haven’t made it big, perhaps just part of an established mindset in underdog reverence, this wave of negativity was not present in the Ithaca Commons last night. Two scraggly men behind me bonded over the “anthem-like choruses,” though one admitted to only knowing the lyrics to two songs, while the other owned the band’s complete vinyl set and the group in front held onto each other’s shoulders as they screamed the bridge to “City of Angels.” Josiah’s apologetic “this song sounds like a lullaby honestly” followed by Kenny’s “because it is a fucking lullaby” summarizes this dilemma well.

Staying independent versus moving to a corporate creative hold, doing well as an opening act versus filling amphitheaters — what’s wrong with pleasing the crowd?

Pop, Rock and Indie Bands Take the Stage at Cayuga Lodge Saturday night, thanks to four out of town bands. Ellen Siberian Tiger, Rickie & Aimee, And The Kids and Adult Mom brought a mix of performance styles, though their Despite the single digit temperatures and music was similar and went well together. the layer of fresh snow on the ground, The show was cohesive, danceable and fun.

Cayuga Lodge’s basement was full on Ellen Siberian Tiger, a five-piece group out of Philadelphia, opened up the night with sweet rock music that leaned toward folksy, but had its bold moments. Frontwoman and songwriter Ellen Tiberio-Shultz brought powerful vocals, and the whole band brought skilled instrumentation.

They were fun and engaging, low-key enough to start off the night with a lot of bustling in the crowd, but energetic enough to be exciting and capture the attention of everyone walking in and finding their friends.

Rickie & Aimee put on a different kind of performance art than the other bands of the night. Their show KATIE SIMS / ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR focused on pop singing and wellBY KATIE SIMS Arts and Entertianment Editor

timed dance moves, along with a recorded instrumental track. They bobbed up and down and threw their arms outwards rhythmically, in well-rehearsed and seeminglyautomatic choreography. Their performance was flashy, interesting and fairly well-received.

The crowd even agreed to sit on the floor with Aimee while she lit candles and shared self-affirmative messages. The duo excelled at putting on a captivating performance, but didn’t share the same depth or the same indieband feel as the other groups.

And The Kids, a quartet from Northampton, Massachusetts, were up next, playing pop songs that seamlessly turned into electrifying rock. They played well, and had a crowd of fans singing along right up front. They had the best dancing music of the night so the crowd was the most mobile and excited then, especially as the room was finally filling up.

Adult Mom finished out the night. The band is fronted by Steph Knipe, who plays guitar and sings sweetly about relationships, sad nights and friends. Their songs are honest

and heartfelt, and their performance was excellent. They sounded better live than they do in their recorded discography, taking the best parts of lo-fi music — honest lyrics and simple music, among other traits — and combining them with pleasant vocals and high-energy bass, guitar and percussion.

Someone walked up behind me during Adult Mom’s set and said, “I want this to be the background music for my whole life.”

While that wasn’t the first thing that came to my mind, I think he’s got the right idea. It’s often upbeat, introspective, fun to dance to and easy to listen to. The music has a lot of thoughtful ideas about life, reflects on the good and the bad, but is overwhelmingly fun.

While I don’t think the universe around us will play Adult Mom throughout the day, it makes pretty good walking-around-with-earphones music.

Finding its groove | Cornell scored six points in the last three quarters, making a significant improvement after failing to record a single goal in the first. However, despite finding its offensive rhythm, the Red were still outscored in every quarter by Albany.

However, a mixture of poor shooting and an offensive explosion from Brown’s Mehta Shayna in the following quarter blew the game wide open. Cornell shot a disappointing 27 percent from the field and and allowed Shayna to score nine of her 29 points in the pivotal third quarter.

“I think that third quarter run that they had really just got us out of our rhythm,” Aston said.

“They definitely built up their intensity and forced us into some bad shots.”

As the final buzzer sounded to finish off the team’s 67-46 loss against the Bears, the Red’s postseason chances were officially over.

While the loss to Brown was certainly disappointing, the Red was able to take some positives by reflecting on record milestones accomplished this season.

After her weekend performances, all-time leading scorer senior Nia Marshall added to her tally to finish her career at 1,685 points. Marshall also finished the season with 414 points, her record third 400 point season since arriving in Ithaca.

In addition, the class of 2017’s overall 59 wins have made the class the most successful “Cornell’s been in program history.

“We weren’t ready everything to for the season to be me, and over,” Smith said. women’s “[However] we talked about the basketball has accomplishments we been a huge made this year and just thanked the part of that.” seniors for everything Senior Nicholle Aston they’ve done.”

Looking ahead into next season, much remains uncertain. Among the five seniors, the graduating class logged in an average of 28.9 minutes a game. The class also collectively accounted for 48.4 points for a team that averaged 62.2 points per game.

“It’s going to be an opportunity for a lot of people to earn playing time. Roles are going to be changing. It’s going to be something new and something different.” Smith said.

However, while the Red will certainly have to consider changing roles next season, the team’s current focus undoubtedly lies with the emotional sendoff for its senior class.

“Cornell’s been everything to me, and women’s basketball has been a huge part of that,” Aston said. “Once in the family, always part of the family.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Red Splits Final Two,Misses Ivy Tournament

CAMERON POLLACK / SUN PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Just not enough | Cornell’s loss against Brown in its season finale left the team just short of the fourth and final invitational spot in the first Ivy League tournament.

By JOSH ZHU Sun Assistant Sports Editor

During a weekend that determined the final spot in the inaugural Ivy League tournament, the Cornell women’s bas-

ketball team fell just short, splitting its last two games against Ivy League rivals Yale and Brown.

“It’s not the ending that any of us seniors wanted for the end of our careers,” said senior Nicholle Aston. “[However] just looking back on my career, we’re very proud and really

couldn’t have done anything better.”

Cornell (16-11, 7-7 Ivy) secured a double-digit win over Yale on Friday but could not get the job done against Brown with everything on the line on Saturday.

The Red’s final Ivy League record placed the team in a tie for fourth place with Brown. However, Brown’s 2-0 season record against Cornell awarded the Bears the tiebreaker for the fourth and final spot in the Ivy League tournament.

“We felt like we could finish in the top four, which we did but just lost the tiebreaker,” said head coach Dayna Smith. “The season wasn’t a disappointment, but our expectations were high, and we just didn’t meet them.”

Cornell certainly played like a team desperate to secure the last Ivy League tournament spot in its Friday matchup against Yale. The team began the game on a 20-3 run and never looked back, leading wire to wire in its 59-49 win.

The Red put on an impressive defensive performance as well, holding Yale without a field goal for the first 14:56 of the game. Yale ended the game shooting just 25 percent from the field and 26 percent from three-point range.

“It was a great first quarter, really the first 15 minutes, to open up the game,” Smith said. “We worked hard to make them take poor shots. I think we buckled down on their top scorers and finished their possessions with rebounds which fueled our break.”

Cornell began its Saturday matchup against Brown in much the same fashion. Despite shooting only 30 percent from the field in the first half, the Red headed into halftime down by only four points.

Mixed Results for Laxers in Early Season Matches Men continue early season woes in third straight loss

With the chance to come home and show its fans that its first two losses were flukes and not indicative how the season may unfold, the Cornell men’s lacrosse team failed to quell any doubts surrounding the storied program, dropping a tough 17-6 loss to Albany for the first 0-3 start in 20 years.

“We have some good pieces but we are not even close right now,” said head coach Matt Kerwick, who watched his team get outscored 9-1 by halftime.

“Now we are three games into this thing and it’s the same song, and we have to figure this thing out. We need some guys to step up.”

Despite the eight-goal deficit at after 30 minutes of play, it looked like Cornell might have found its rhythm shortly into the second half. Albany scored two goals in less than 30 seconds to start things back See M. LACROSSE page 11 ADRIAN BOTEANU / SUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Women take care of business against Penn in Ivy title rematch

By SMITA NALLURI Sun Staff Writer

Opening up Ivy League play with a bang, No. 16 Cornell women’s lacrosse defeated the No. 13 Penn Quakers in a 10-4 win yesterday at Franklin Field. “[This game] is exactly how we wanted to open our Ivy League game play,” said junior midfielder Taylor Reed. “Despite many turnovers in the game, we were able to overcome our mistakes with hustle and teamwork.”

The Red (2-1) got off to a shaky start as the Quakers (3-1) scored the first two goals of the game, but Cornell kept its compo-
