Body cancels critique of business college formation in light of Garrett’s death

By PHOEBE KELLER Sun Managing Editor

Roosevelt Island Hospital Murals Housed in Johnson Museum The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art hosts the first public display of portions of three abstract murals from Roosevelt Island’s Goldwater Memorial Hospital, which was replaced by the Cornell Tech Campus in 2015, according to the University.

The murals were created

by Ilya Bolotowsky, Albert Swinden and Joseph Rugolo and commissioned by the Works Projects Admin istration’s Federal Art Project in the early 1940s, the University said.

Local Four Students Charged In Trumansburg Opiate Arrests Four students from Trumansburg’s Charles O. Dickerson High School were charged in connection with the alleged sale and use of hydrocodone and oxycodone pills on school property, according to the Ithaca Journal.

A 15-year-old boy was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance; a 14-year-old boy was charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance; a 16year-old boy was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance; and an 18-year-old male was charged with criminal sale of an imitation controlled substance and endangering the welfare of a minor, The Journal reported.

National Michael Bloomberg Decies Not To Enter Presidential Race Michael J. Bloomberg said Monday that he will not enter the 2016 campaign. For months, he has been contemplating running as an independent, but he has decided against it due to his fear that a three-way race could lead to the election of Donald Trump as president, according to The New York Times.

Bloomberg said Trump had run “the most divisive and demagogic presidential campaign I can remember.”

Bloomberg said he was also alarmed by Trump’s threats to bar Muslim immigrants from entering the U.S. and his “feigning ignorance of white supremicists,” The Times reported.

The Faculty Senate has postponed plans to vote on a resolution calling for the censure of the University’s central administration and Board of Trustees after learning of President Elizabeth Garrett’s death on Monday.

The resolution’s drafters had planned to call for censure at their Wednesday meeting, criticizing administrators for failing to consult with governance bodies before forming the College of Business in January. However, they have decided to postpone consideration of the censure and cancel the meeting, given the news that President Elizabeth Garrett died in her New York City home Sunday night.

“Under the tragic circumstances of President Garrett’s death, the drafters of the censure resolution believe it is appropriate to withdraw the resolution from the agenda of the upcoming Faculty Senate meeting,” said Prof. Eric Cheyfitz, english, who was due to present the resolution in Wednesday’s meeting. “We will consider how to proceed in the most productive way after we’ve all had time to adjust to this very sad news.”

The proposed resolution claims that administrators violated University bylaws by failing to work with the Faculty Senate in making a decision which was a “question of educational policy which concern[s] more than one college, school or separate academic unit.”

The creation of a new college — which will merge the School of Hotel Administration, the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management — clearly involves educational policy as it pertains to multiple separate colleges, the resolution asserts.

The resolution also posits that administrators were in violation of the “Principles of Cooperation and Consultation Between the President and the Faculty Senate,” which was adopted in 2000.

“Meaningful faculty governance requires adequate time for consideration of issues and development of recommendations,” the agree-

ment stated, as quoted in the resolution. “The ernment bodies whose advice they ignored President or other members of the when creating the College of Business — Administration will not reach final conclu- namely the University Assembly and Student sions or take action on major multi-college Assembly who both voted to table plans for educational policy issues [without taking] nor- the college.

GPSA Addresses Maplewood Apartment Concerns

By SO HYUNG KIM Sun Staff Writer

The Graduate and Professional Student Assembly discussed the potential problems posed by the construction of Maplewood Park Apartments with real estate and architecture representatives Monday.

Murphy Antoine, the architect from Torti

Gallas and Partners, Inc., presented a brief overview of the plan proposal, saying that the current plan makes the apartments seem isolated.

“We need to integrate it by understanding the context,” Antoine said. “It feels isolated but in a physical distance sense, it’s actually pretty close to the campus.”

One of the plans for

integration is to make the streets more accommodating to public life, according to Antoine.

“The streets are all about the asphalt and the cars right now,” Antoine said. “We are envisioning streets as their own form of public space. It’s not just a place for your cars.

It’s a place to engage with your neighbors too.”

Antoine also suggested

varying the building types to accommodate the different needs of graduate and professional students.

“Maplewood is all one building type with the exact same plan, color, story,” Antoine said. “We could mix types of apartments and townhouses to meet different needs and preferences.”

Jeffrey Resetco, vice president of real estate development and construction of EdR, a real estate investment trust partnering with Cornell on the project, explained that community amenities would be included in the new development.

“We are envisioning something like the Big Red Barn but on a smaller scale as a community room so you can open it up and have events,” Resetco said. “There will also be a business center for group projects and work. We are also planning an outdoor recreational space like tot lots for people who have families and volleyball courts.”

One of the primary

concerns of graduate students are rent increases and affordability, according to Anna Waymack, a voting member of GPSA. Resetco explained that the four main goals of the project are “affordability, walkability, sustainability and community.”

“Affordability is at the top of Cornell’s list, so we are working closely with the school to make sure the rents are increasing at an agreeable rate,” Resetco said. “We agreed that there will be an escalation cap. We are sensitive to the fact that graduate stipends are set and that’s definitely in our thinking and awareness.”

Resetco noted that rent prices are still being finalized with the firms and Cornell.

“It’s complicated,” Resetco said. “We need to have a closer look at the affordability. When we look at the peers, we do feel like this is below the market for some of the off campus houses.”

Editorial

Honoring and Furthering President Garrett’s Legacy WE ARE PROFOUNDLY SADDENED BY THE NEWS of President Elizabeth Garrett’s death last evening. Throughout her tenure, she demonstrated remarkable leadership ability and personal strength, and it is clear that Cornell has lost a true force in its community. Garrett came to Cornell with a strong vision for higher education — one centered on the student experience, diversity and academic freedom for faculty — and worked tirelessly to implement it.

Exactly two months after her administration began on July 1, Garrett announced plans to increase support for graduate students, including a doubling of funds for student childcare grants for graduate students, a higher minimum research stipend and more graduate student housing. Two days after announcing these initiatives, Garrett addressed the Faculty Senate, promising to direct more revenue towards faculty research and recruitment. She approached her presidency with energy, making herself available often to input and criticism from the Cornell community. She fielded student questions regarding diversity and shared governance at Student Assembly meetings and addressed concerns raised by Black Students United in a meeting in Ujamaa.

She worked to grow the University’s global presence by announcing an international tour and committing to extend international opportunities for undergraduates. These are just a handful of instances that exemplified Garrett’s dedication to this University.

While her leadership was not without controversy, Garrett’s direct and efficient leadership style was admirable, and she will also be remembered for her warmth and ability to relate to and communicate with members of the community. Garrett came to Cornell at a pivotal point in our history, as sesquicentennial celebrations ended and as colleges across the nation confronted issues of race, diversity, shared governance and student activism. Garrett never skirted these pressing matters, facing them headon.

Though the University has made incredible strides under her leadership, we continue to face many of the issues Garrett inherited. As we mourn the loss of a strong leader, we must also look forward. As Cornellians, it is crucial that we join together, listen to each other and collaborate during the tough times ahead. Recent battles over the Board of Trustees’ approval of the College of Business, the trustee vote against fossil fuel divestment and the reversal of the 2035 carbon neutrality goal demonstrate that Cornell still struggles today to balance transparency and shared governance with implementing radical, progressive changes. As Cornellians, we must all work together on the issues we face today.

As we urge students, faculty, alumni and staff to continue holding Cornell accountable, we also urge the administration to be clear with what lies ahead. Cornell needs a leader, but it also needs to find a leader through a transparent process that actively seeks input from Cornell’s constituencies. How we can best honor Garrett and her dedication to the University is to care for Cornell as Garrett did — with enthusiasm, openness and honesty.

The Politics Of Indecision

I

would call myself the most indecisive person I know, but to be honest, I’m not sure I could even commit to that. The number of times I have tried unsuccessfully to change my order at a coffee shop (or more realistically, at Louie’s) probably matches the number of times I have typed a sentence into this Google doc only to replace it with another one that I think I would rather see in this column. Indecision is a struggle, but it isn’t one that I find only myself facing.

Take the American voters, for example. This political process in itself has been one that requires them to make tough decisions, and yet, this is not to say the political process has been one that allows for those decisions to be made and dealt with quickly.

Over the last week, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton won the biggest share of delegates. This did

The American political process is not set up to be easy to decide on; it exists in itself to create indecision, and I am glad there are still a number of undecided voters left. What concerns me, however, is that there are no parties for the undecided here. not, however, render Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) irrelevant by any means (Ben Carson, on the other hand…). What does this say for those undecided voters then, who are looking to each of these results as some way for them to come to conclusion about their preferences? How does this work in favor of the signs they need to make up their minds?

Well, put quite simply, it doesn’t. Last week’s results do not really help our undecided voters decided much of anything substantial, just as I’m sure the next few coming week’s results will do as well. I personally find this to be a good thing, a thing that allows for us to applaud the American political process. The longer each voter finds he or she needs to keep up with what’s going on in the news, the more informed and substantive their eventual decision might actually be.

What I find most interesting about this commitment to indecision by the American people is not simply that it exists. Rather, I find it interesting to consider where it stems from. Is it simply dissatisfaction with the choices provided? Is it a reluctance to commit until we see how everything might play out?

Or is it the thought that in the time we are stalling from making a decision, we could instead use the same number of seconds to come up with some better choice, one that we just haven’t thought of yet?

Like most things in life, I’m sure it can be explained in more than one way. The American political process is not set up to be easy to decide on; it exists in itself to create indecision, and I am glad there are still a number of undecided voters left.

What concerns me, however, is that there are no parties for the undecided here. In fact, the Republican party does as well as it does because it attracts people with strong convictions. It is my hope that the rest of this nation recognizes that the amount of indecision that prompts a well-formed, substantiated political decision is always worth far more than a strongly held, yet hastily put together political decision.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Student Fashion Spotlight

Talking Sportswear With Senior Designer Linnea Fong ’16

BY MIKE SOSNICK Sun Senior Writer

Linnea Fong ’16 is trying something new for her senior collection. Pulling inspiration from human movement and an internship at Nike, she’s taking a break from eveningwear at this year’s Cornell Fashion Collective Runway Show and instead focusing on a sportswear line. The Sun had an opportunity to talk with her about her background, influences, collection and love of backpacks.

THE SUN: How did you start designing?

LINNEA FONG: I’ve been designing since I was a freshman in high school. I started sewing with the 4-H club in my town and I’ve always been interested in arts. I took fine arts classes every year, but we didn’t have apparel design classes in my small town in Oregon. So I kept getting interested in that, and I would enter the state competitions through 4-H. S UN: How did you find yourself at Cornell?

L.F.: When I was applying to colleges, I applied to all small liberal arts colleges, and the only fashion or art program I applied to was at Cornell.

I didn’t really know what I wanted to do until I was accepted here. I had no top choice in schools until I got into Cornell, and I figured I might as well try it since I didn’t know what I would want to major in at any of the other schools. I’m really

glad I decided to [come to Cornell] because I’m excited to go into this industry and I can’t see myself doing anything else.

SUN: Can you tell us about your collection for this year’s show?

L.F.: This year I’m doing a sportswear collection with a heavy emphasis on bags and backpacks.

It’s casual lifestyle apparel. I have six backpacks in my collection and I have eight models. There’s a wide variety of things: a swimsuit, leggings, jacket, sports bra, joggers and backpacks.

SUN: Is there a specific reason that made you keen on designing a sportswear collection?

L.F.: I interned at Nike last summer, and I think that was a big factor. I hadn’t done a lot of sportswear before that, but shopping there and working with the fit models got me more interested in sportswear. I started wearing more sneakers and active apparel, and realized that was something I wanted to explore more.

Whatever I’m more interested in wearing, I want to figure out how to construct those things. It’s kind of selfish — I design it so I can make it eventually. I think fashion is very selfish.

SUN: Can you elaborate more on the backpacks?

That’s quite unique.

L.F.: If I see someone on campus and I like their backpack, I’ll go up and examine it, I’ll ask them what it is and where it’s from. I kind of have a backpack fetish right now. I’m always thinking, ‘Wow, I could totally make that,’ or ‘I wonder how this pocket goes here,’ etcetera. A lot of it is a big experiment. I’m trying to test out all of these new things for

my final year because I want to take advantage of the facilities and the program here. I don’t want to leave always wondering, ‘What if I tried something else?’

SUN: What motivates your designs, both in general and for this project?

L.F.: For this project, I was inspired by body movement and I started examining dyes in water. I tried to understand how that PHOTOS COURTESY OF LINNEA FONG movement works in a sort of anti-gravity environment and all the forms and shapes that come out of that, and I wanted to translate that into apparel on moving bodies. I decided to take it into a sportswear direction this year because last year I did eveningwear, which is totally different. I think a lot of my designs are translated — they’re the same aesthetic — but I got tired of doing eveningwear and didn’t want to keep doing dresses. I go through phases, and now I want to try something new because I’ve never done sportswear before and I’ve never done menswear or backpacks before.

SUN: Do you have a greater philosophy for designing?

L.F.: Even if one person critiques your work and thinks one thing, it doesn’t necessarily mean that their opinion is the truth. Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it. For me, nothing is necessarily wrong because I always think there’s some potential for any idea.

‘Have Mercy!’

Full(er) House Returns

BY KYLA BRATHWAITE Sun Contributor

Full House is back! Kind of. Fuller House, the modern day spin-off of the sitcom Full House, was released in full on Feb. 26 as a Netflix original series. The original cast members, with the exception of the Olsen twins, returned to reprise their roles. Additionally, Full House creator Jeff Franklin remained at the helm of the new series. The revival of Fuller House is comparable to the slightly disappointing 2015 spin-off Girl Meets World, a follow-up to the 1990s sitcom Boy Meets World.

Fuller House appealed to me because of its similarity to Full House, another family-focused show. Unlike Girl Meets World, a children’s show on Disney Channel that covered themes and topics that younger audiences could relate to, Fuller House’s subject matter, much like that of Full House, appeals to a multi-generational audience.

The pilot episode of Fuller House is a nostalgic ode to its valiant predecessor. I enjoyed the show’s up-to-date version of “Everywhere You Look,” redone by Carly Rae Jepsen, and opening sequence that showed the progression of each main character as they aged. In the opening minutes of Fuller House, the main cast trooped in with the roar of the studio audience behind them.

I was incredibly excited to hear Uncle Jesse’s usual “Have mercy!”

Stephanie’s “How rude!” and to see Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) put her feet on the kitchen table in her usual lovable fashion. Noticeably absent was Michelle, whose character on Full House was played by twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Michelle’s absence was explained by her recent success as a fashion mogul.

As the show progressed it became evident that Fuller House would now focus on D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure) — a recent widow — Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy, who come together in order to help D.J. adapt to life as a single mom of three boys. Although Fuller House’s spirit did not disappoint for those nostalgic for Full House, the show does have some pitfalls.

Fuller House itself is entirely built on nostalgia. Although some of the characters, like D.J.’s new love interest Matt (John Brotherton), Kimmy’s husband (Juan Pablo Di Pace) and Kimmy’s daughter Ramona (Soni Nicole Bringas) are new, the characters of the original cast members have barely been developed. Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) is still a cleaning fanatic, Kimmy still makes poor fashion choices and barges in unannounced.

In both shows, friends and family of a widow(er) come together to help raise three kids. They even name the family dog Comet in both shows.

Although I initially found myself annoyed at the lack of change between the two shows, I soon began to appreciate the endless number of references to the ’90s hit. The not-so-subtle references to Full House were awkwardly funny, and I found myself feeling more comfortable with the show. What has changed between the two shows is the chemistry between the cast members.

As of now, the main cast lacks some of the chemistry that they once had, which might be a result of the guest-only appearances of Bob Saget, John Stamos and Dave Coulier. Hopefully, in time, the Fuller House cast will develop the same easy chemistry that their predecessors had.

Although Full House has been off the air since before I was born, I feel like I have grown up with Tanner Family through endless reruns. I watched as D.J, Stephanie and Michelle grew from childhood into adolescence, dealing with the struggles of middle school and high school, friendship troubles and bad breakups. In addition, I watched the love and support that Danny Tanner, Uncle Jesse and Joey had for them in building their own unique type of family. Although the show, as of yet, does not feel as organic as its predecessor, the same spirit of unconditional love perseveres.

importance of supporting every Cornell constituency and often expressed her support for students and faculty.

“Our students are simply amazing,” Garrett said at her State of the University address in October.

“It is important to provide ample support so they both contribute to and gain from the academic experience at Cornell.”

Before her presidency at Cornell, Garrett served as the provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at the University of Southern California, where she oversaw the USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences as well as the Keck School of Medicine of USC and 16 other professional schools, according to the University.

Garrett was also awarded the University of Virginia’s distinguished alumna award in January, a recognition that aims to “honor alumnae whose contributions at the highest level have brought about progress in a wide range of fields,” UVa said.

beyond all those things, it’s the human tragedy of a life cut off at a young age.”

Provost and Acting President Michael Kotlikoff called Garrett “a visionary leader,” saying that the legacy she leaves behind will be her ability to inspire Cornell’s continual improvement.

“Her greatest legacy will be for this generation of Cornellians — faculty, students and staff — to build on Beth’s fearless dedication to discovery and learning, and her incredible energy to make her vision for Cornell University’s future a reality,” he said. “We are all deeply saddened by her passing, and I extend my profound condolences to her husband, Andrei Marmor, to her family, and to the community of thousands and thousands of Cornellians, here in Ithaca and around the country and the world.”

Gretchen Ritter ’83, the Dean of Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences, wrote in an email to students that she was “unbelievably saddened” to learn of Garrett’s death, calling her “not only our president, but our colleague.”

“Beth was an inspiration to me, and I know she served as an inspiration for many other faculty and students here at Cornell,” she said.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) also expressed his condolences to Garrett’s loved ones and all Cornellians, calling the former president a “visionary leader who was wholeheartedly committed to furthering the education and growth of those around her.”

The governor also remarked upon Garrett’s ability to challenge the established order, commending her for the steps she took as Cornell’s first female president.

“Elizabeth devoted her life to creating a better future for everyone, and she understood that in order to accomplish that, part of her responsibility as a leader was to boldly challenge the status quo,” he said.

“As the first woman to lead Cornell University as its President, she lived that promise herself.”

Cuomo called Garrett’s passing a great loss “not only for her University, but for our state.”

Assemblymember Barbara Lifton (DN.Y.) also sent her sympathies to Cornell’s campus this afternoon, writing that she was “devastated to hear the news.” “[Garrett] was a lovely, warm and accomplished woman who was poised to be a great leader at Cornell,” she said. “My sympathies to her husband, family and to the entire Cornell community.”

“We thought this would be a nice gesture of how much we appreciate her, even though her time was short here,” said Jung Won Kim ’18, one of the organizers of the card-signing.

After the chimes concert, members of the Cornell University Chorus and the Cornell Glee Club gathered together to sing “The Cornell Evening Song” on Ho Plaza.

“The turnout was truly moving,” Cohen said. “In my time at Cornell I have never seen so many students come together in one place for a common purpose.”

He added that he believed the massive attendance for the event was symbolic of Garrett’s legacy and her contributions to the University.

“In many ways, the greatest challenge and duty of a president is to bring people together,” Cohen said. “Watching over 1,000 Cornellians come to honor President Garrett on the Arts Quad was a symbol of her leadership and the all-too-short, yet strong legacy she has left on this campus.”

North Carolina Attempts To Take Next Step At ACC Tournament

WASHINGTON (AP) — Expectations are high for the seventh-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels as the No. 1 seed at the ACC Tournament. That’s nothing new for them.

The preseason pick to win the ACC, coach Roy Williams’ team beat Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday to capture the regular-season title. Now it’s on to the postseason.

Williams said it is just the “next step” for his oft-criticized group.

“I think it’s probably the least appreciated, most criticized championship team I’ve ever had,” Williams said. “Everybody’s (like): ‘Well, y’all are not tough, you blow this lead, y’all can’t guard anybody, y’all can’t shoot.’ And I agree, but we figured out a way. So you’ve got to have some toughness there.”

It’ll take more toughness to get through the deep ACC field this week, trying for the school’s first ACC Tournament title since 2008. No. 19 Duke is on the same side of the bracket, and No. 4 Virginia or No. 11 Miami could be waiting in the final.

A year after blowing a lead to Notre Dame in the ACC final, the Tar Heels are determined not to let that happen again.

“We’ve got to finish it out,” sophomore guard Joel Berry II. “That’s been a big thing for us, just finishing games. This year we’re going to go in with the same mindset that we did last year — going in there and competing. Just this time, we’ve got to finish it out and accomplish that goal that we want.”

The competition will be tough, starting with an NCAA Tournament team as an opponent in either Syracuse or Pittsburgh. On the other side of the bracket, Miami is Virginia’s biggest roadblock.

Virginia has ACC player of the year Malcolm Brogdon and plenty to prove this week.

Harden, Rockets End Raptors’ Home Win Streak, 113-107 TORONTO (AP) — James Harden had 40 points and 14 assists, and the Houston Rockets beat Toronto 113-107 on Sunday night to end the Raptors’ franchise-record, 12-game home winning streak.

The Raptors lost at home for the first time since Jan. 3 against the Chicago Bulls.

The Rockets also snapped their eight-game losing streak north of the border, winning in Toronto for the first time since the 2006-07 season.

Corey Brewer had 23 points off the bench for the Rockets, who trailed by as many as 18 points in the second quarter.

Dwight Howard added 21 points and 11 rebounds.

Luis Scola led the Raptors with 21 points, while DeMar DeRozan had 19.

Trevor Ariza’s 3-pointer with 4:43 remaining gave the Rockets their first lead since midway through the first quarter. Houston built on that advantage with an alley-oop dunk from Howard, before Patrick Patterson tied it at 102 with a 3-pointer with 3:38 to play.

Howard fouled out with 2:08 left and DeRozan made one free throw to put the Raptors back on top. But Harden, who had 20 points in the quarter, scored the next five points on a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws to put Houston up by four points with 1:18 remaining.

A flagrant foul by DeRozan on Patrick Beverley with 1:02 to go saw the Houston point guard shoot one of two from the free-throw line to increase the lead to five, before Clint Capela’s dunk took the game beyond Toronto’s reach.

With Toronto’s normally

explosive backcourt starting slowly — DeRozan and Kyle Lowry had just one point between them — it was left to Toronto’s forwards to lead the Raptors out of an early sixpoint hole. Scola had 11 to go with eight from James Johnson, as the Raptors overcame Howard’s 10-point effort to jump out to a 30-26 lead after one quarter.

Lowry got going in the second quarter with 10 points, and the bench chipped in with 12, as the Raptors led by as much as 18 at one point before taking a 61-51 lead into the half.

Harden sparked the Rockets in the third, with his 10 points helping close the deficit to six points, but DeRozan had 12 of his own to give the Raptors an 85-77 lead heading into the final quarter.

Tip-Ins

Rockets: Harden’s average of 29 points in his five career games in Toronto is his highest in any opposing venue. After going 23-7 against Eastern Conference teams in 2014-15, Houston is just 9-13 against East teams this season.

Houston is now 7-8 in the second game of back-to-back games this season, with the team playing a league-high 20 such games.

Raptors: Coach Dwane Casey received his Eastern Conference coach of the month award for January before the game during an oncourt presentation. With his season-high 38 points in Friday’s win over Portland, DeRozan joined Harden and Golden State’s Stephen Curry, as the only players from the 2009 NBA draft class to reach 9,000 career points.

Women Finish Weekend Strong; Men Split Matches

By BRITTANY BIGGS Sun Staff Writer

It was weekend of wins and losses for the Cornell men’s and women’s tennis teams. While the women’s team was able to secure a 5-2 victory over St. John’s, the men’s team was on the road and split their two matches. On Saturday, the men were able to push past Nebraska, 4-1, but COURTESY OF fell to Drake, 4-2, on CORNELL ATHLETICS Sunday.

In their victory, the women’s team started out strong and continued to push for the win.

The team now stands at 7-5 and is moving forward with a

On point | Junior Chris Vrabel’s victory helped the Red overcome Nebraska.

stretch of home games.

“After coming off of a couple tough losses the past couple of weeks, our team had to refocus, make some adjustments and put extra work in practice,” said senior Dena Tanebaum. “I think that really helped us turn it around in the matches this weekend.”

The women lost close 4-3 matches to West Virginia and Boston College in two of their last three matches.

After rebounding with a 7-0 victory over the University of Maryland Baltimore County, this weekend’s match seemed to put the team back on the right path.

“I think everyone on the team is doing a really good job of focusing on their individual needs as well as the team needs to keep improving for each match,” Tanebaum said.

“With only a few matches left until our Ivy season, we need to continue working hard and raising the bar in practices and use these few last non-conference matches to continue to make those little adjustments on the court to minimize our weaknesses and capitalize on our strengths.”

The men’s team traveled this weekend and fought against two non-conference competitors. In the win against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Cornell was bolstered by wins from junior Chris Vrabel and senior Stefan Vinti, who played in the fourth and fifth singles positions respectively.

“Although we did not win all three matches, we felt that we took steps in the right direction,” said head coach Silviu Tanasoiu. “We are understanding more and more as a team that taking the initiative

makes a world of a difference. We had several spots throughout the week where we took the initiative in playing our brand of discipline tennis and it paid off immensely. We need to stay true to our identity and compete at every position with that mindset.”

Continuing their Midwest trip, the Red traveled to Des Moines, Iowa to take on the Drake Bulldogs. The team was outplayed in the 4-2 loss, with their two wins coming from the racquets of junior Colin Sinclair and freshman Karlo Lozic. This loss put the team back to a 5-8 record as they get closer and closer to facing their Ivy League conference rivals. Despite the loss, the team feels that they are making progress and are learning from their losses Tanasoiu commented on one standout moment when the Red was resilient against Drake.

“Being down against Drake, 1-0, after the doubles point, and three breaks on three different courts, we came back firing after that and came within two points from winning the match,” Tanasoiu said. “Mounting that comeback by playing the right way is what stands out to me. The guys could see that, when multiplied by every player, disciplined tennis never disappoints.”

Both teams will be in action next weekend competing in home matches. The women’s team will go up against Stony Brook and Niagara, while the men welcome Binghamton on Sunday.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Red Ties Last Place in Ivy With Win Freshman Matt Morgan breaks Ivy League record with 510 points in season

By TOBE ATTAH Sun Staff Writer

After a slew of losses against multiple Ivy League opponents, the Cornell men’s basketball secured a win in their last game against Brown this weekend on senior night.

The Red (10-18, 3-11 Ivy) fell to conference leaders Yale (22-6, 13-1) on Friday, 88-64, but bounced back to get the close 75-71 win against Brown (8-20, 3-11).

On Friday against Yale, the Red stayed close initially, letting the Bulldogs only have a 22-20 lead with eight minutes left in the first half. Unfortunately, Yale finally found their stride when things got too close for comfort, widening the score gap by a substantial 30 points near the beginning of the second half With Yale’s win over Cornell and Princeton’s 76-74 upset against Harvard on Friday, the Bulldogs were sure to earn

their first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1962.

The Red put their loss behind them and focused all of their efforts on their senior night against Brown. The winner of this final game would determine who would finish their season in seventh place among the Ancient Eight, as both teams were in the last two spots.

Cornell struggled out of the gate, falling behind 9-0 against the Bears. It was not until senior Robert Mischler answered with a big three-point attempt which invigorated the team to send Mischler out with a win in his final collegiate game.

Cornell struggled out of the gate, falling behind 9-0 against the Bears. But the Red finally found their rhythm after a key three-point play from junior Jojo Fallas, putting Cornell in the lead 14-12 with 11 minutes left in the first half.

After managing to hold a 30-27 lead into the second half, Cornell rallied with Brown to hold them off throughout the

rest of the game. Juniors Darryl Smith and David Onuorah netted 13 and 6 points respectively and sophomore Jordan Abdur-Ra’oof scored 8 points.

Freshmen Matt Morgan had the performance of the night, concluded his first collegiate campaign with 25 points for the night. He ended up scoring 510 points for the season, the most any Ivy League freshmen has been able to score.

The intense battle between Cornell and Brown set up a climatic ending for the Red. Snapping their drought of losses with one final win at home is the best outcome the team could ask for going into the 2016-17 season.

Cornell finished seventh in the Ivy League, and this young team is more than excited to continue improving their team cohesion and adding new freshmen to their scheme in October.

Lakers Stun Warriors 112-95 for Golden State’s Sixth Loss LOS ANGELES (AP) — Even a team that dominates the way the Golden State Warriors have this season is bound to stumble every now and then.

They tossed out a clunker against the Los Angeles Lakers, losing 112-95 on Sunday while shooting a season-worst 13 percent from 3-point range.

“We got what we deserved,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

“When the ball doesn’t go in, you have to win with energy and defense and toughness, and we didn’t have any of that.”

The young Lakers did, led by Jordan Clarkson with 25 points and rookie D’Angelo Russell with 21. They handed the defending NBA champions just their sixth loss of the season, all on the road.

Kobe Bryant added 12 points

points on a day the Warriors were awful offensively. Klay Thompson added 15 points, but the Splash Brothers were a combined 1 of 18 from 3-point range. In all, the league’s best long-range shooting team missed 26 of 30 attempts, a season low for for a “We got what we deserved. When the makes team that ball doesn’t go in, you have to win with a v e r a g e s nearly 13. energy and defense and toughness.”

“I would say 24 of Steve Kerr them were good shots “Kobe kept us on our toes,” that just missed,” Curry said. “It Russell said. “He was coaching happens.”

Golden State fell to 55-6 and us the whole game from the sideline. Telling us to push it the Lakers improved to 13-51.

“We haven’t brought our Awhen we got it, don’t wait, and it plus game, but we’ve found difworked.”

Stephen Curry scored 18 ferent ways to win,” Curry said. in one of the biggest upsets in NBA history and the Lakers’ most important victory in a downtrodden farewell season for Bryant, who spent the fourth quarter on the bench resting his aching right shoulder and mentoring his teammates.

“That’s what we’ve been most proud of this year. Today could have been the same story had we made shots in the third quarter and not dug ourselves such a huge hole.”

The loss snapped Golden State’s seven-game winning streak and was its first since a 32-point blowout at Portland on Feb. 19.

“It happens,” said Draymond Green, who just missed a tripledouble, with nine points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. “It just can’t happen anymore.”

The Lakers effectively put the game away in the second quarter, when they built a doubledigit lead that Golden State threatened just once, pulling to 65-57 early in the third.

That was as close as they got the entire second half.

Clarkson answered with a pair of 3-pointers sandwiched around Julius Randle’s dunk and the young Lakers kept on rolling. Brazilian Marcelo Huertas fed Larry Nance Jr. for an alley-oop dunk in the fourth that had the fans exploding in cheers, seemingly exorcising the demons of another losing season for the once-proud franchise with the league’s third-worst record.

“We’re just growing as a young group here,” Clarkson said. “We just have to keep our foot on this pedal and keep going.”

The Lakers stretched their lead to 16 points in the third, when both teams scored 24 points apiece. The Warriors scored five straight to trail 84-73 going into the fourth.

Grapplers Grab 10th Straight EIWA Title Eight of 10 wrestlers qualify to compete in NCAA tourney

“Gabe Dean walked onto the mat in the finals and within 30 seconds, slammed his opponent on his back earning the fall.”

By ANNA FASMAN Sun Staff Writer

When junior Gabe Dean took the mat on Sunday, no one imagined that within 30 seconds, he would earn a fall that would secure the Cornell wrestling team’s 10th straight EIWA title. Dean and the other first place finishers, senior Nahshon Garrett and juniors Brian Realbuto and Dylan Palacio, all had incredibly strong weekends, dominating in their respective weight classes and earning themselves spots in the NCAA Tournament in two weeks.

“Gabe Dean walked onto the mat in the finals and within 30 seconds, slammed his opponent to his back, earning the fall and thus dashing all of Lehigh’s hopes of stopping our Eastern championship run at nine,” said head coach Robert Koll.

Along with Dean, Garrett, Palacio and Realbuto, freshmen Jeramy Sweany and Joe Galasso and seniors Owen Scott and Duke Pickett earned themselves a place in the upcoming NCAA tournament. While qualifying eight of 10 wrestlers on a given team is quite a feat, Koll is not totally content with the weekend’s results.

“I am pleased to qualify eight for the NCAA tournament but we had the ability of qualifying all 10 so I am not completely satisfied,” Koll said.

However, Koll said he is still happy with the results overall and is particularly pleased with Galasso and Sweany’s performances. According to Koll, they both have been hot and cold all season but he said that it is “great to see them peaking at the right time.”

Koll, who has been coaching the Red for 22 seasons now, has been able to transform the wrestling team into one of consistency, talent and strength. While his strong coaching ability has led to numerous wins and overall success for Cornell, it has also contributed to a fairly large fan base for the wrestling program. Just over 61,000 people like Cornell Wrestling on Facebook and a little over 18,000 followers on Twitter.

Best in class | Senior Nahshon Garrett, along with juniors Gabe Dean, Brian Realbuto and Dylan Palaco, all earned first place in their respective weight classes to earn spots in the NCAA tournament in two weeks.

Koll explained that while the win this weekend was exciting for his team, it is also a big win for all of the fans and alumni following the Red. “Considering some of our team was eight years old when the [EIWA winning] streak started, I’m not sure they really appreciate the significance of the accomplishment,” Koll said. “The people who it means the most to are our alumni and fans.”

In the weeks to come, the eight NCAA qualifiers will focus on tightening up their wrestling before the tournament. The NCAA tournament, held at Madison Square Garden, is one the main focuses for the Red each year, as the men’s whole season is built around qualifying wrestlers

and making sure that all of the wrestlers are in true fighting shape when the tournament approaches. Koll noted that he is not worried about keeping his wrestlers in line the next two weeks.

“I really don’t have to worry about keeping the team focused at this point of the season. The entire season has been built around being ready for the NCAA tournament,” he said. “If I had wrestlers who had to motivated to stay focused at this point in the season, those individuals wouldn’t have qualified for the NCAA tournament.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Campbell and Red Finish Season Fifth in Ivy League

By OLIVIA MATTYASOVSZKY Sun Staff Writer

In their last weekend of play, the Cornell women’s basketball team suffered two losses against Yale and Brown and capped off their season with a record of 14-14 overall and 68 in the Ivy League conference for fifth place. It was senior Maddie Campbell’s last game as part of the Red. “It was a rough way to end the season.

No one wants to end on that note and we especially did not want to send Maddie out on that as well,” said junior Nicholle Aston.

On Friday, the team went down to New Haven, Conn. to take on the Yale Bulldogs.

At their previous meetings, Cornell hosted the Yale team and beat them in Newman arena 74-63, with standout performances from Megan LeDuc with 20 points, and both Nia Marshall and Nicholle Aston scoring in the double digits.
