While Provost Michael Kotlikoff has emphasized that the new college will aim to unite “fractured programs” he has also sought to reassure concerned Cornellians that the identities of the three schools will remain intact following the merger.

Cornell Sun Elects134th Editorial Board By PAULINA GLASS Sun Associate Editor
Following a stressladen six weeks of compet, several orders of Capital Corner’s “sugar dough” and some additional classified shenanigans, The Sun has embarked on a new era. The 134th editorial board includes some of the best, brightest and most sleep-deprived students on campus. What will this year hold? The incoming board has high hopes that no mice will make a reappearance in the office and that no websites will crash. Beyond that … well, give them some time to figure it out. It’s not like they have a paper to put out tomorrow. Without further delay, we are proud to present the editors
of The Sun’s 134th editorial board: Helming The Sun is Sofia Hu ’17, who was elected as the Editor In Chief of this institution. However, she’d just like to remind you that this institution is a community — not a hierarchy —
and that change comes from the bottom-up — and not from the top-down. We asked her about her vision for The Sun, but she told us that this is a sharedgovernance organization. Voted “most likely to pick your brain — literally,”
Sofia pulls long hours at a research lab when she’s not pulling long hours at The Sun’s office. Louis Liu ’18 will serve as Business Manager. An Applied Economics and Management and a Biology and Society double major from

He vows to bring the institution to his level of radness, but we often can’t hear what he’s saying over the loud pink-ness of his fresh sneakers. After being taken emotionally hostage by Fox News, lady Phoebe reporter Keller ’18 has used her recently found freedom to rapidly ascend the ranks to serve as Managing Editor. When not penning controversial mega-hit articles or fixing headlines, she can be spotted roaming Collegetown after dark on her way to yet another lit Sun mixer. Paulina Glass ’18, the new Associate Editor from Seattle, Wash., has recently entered a bitter hair war with a certain
Arts Editor for the title of “Best Blond.” Regardless of who wins that prized position, Paulina’s sunny disposition already brings more brightness to The Sun than her hair ever could. Advertising Jordan Manager “Baby J” Epstein ’18 hails from Tampa, Fla. and studies economics and government. “I don’t know if there are any fun facts about me,” Epstein said. “Please buy an ad.” We already know he’s going to be a great at his job. Ryan Torrie ’17 is the incoming Web Editor and also from Tampa, Fla. If he could be any file format, he says he would be a .txt. Adam Bronfin ’18, the new Sports See BOARD page 4
