Docs Detail Students Debate Computer Science Diversity Facebook cover photo of Caucasian, male profs sparks talk of bias Eaglin’19 Rape Charges

Xavier Eaglin ’19 — whom Cornell police arrested on Sunday on charges of rape, sexual assault and strangulation — is accused of committing the offense on Feb. 15 around midnight, according to court documents obtained by The Sun. The felony complaint states that Eaglin “engaged in sexual intercourse with another person by forcible compulsion.” The incident allegedly took place in the victim’s dorm room in Balch Hall, a firstyear women’s dormitory on North Campus. After “repeated verbal denial of consent,” Eaglin allegedly told the victim that she was “going to have sex with him.”

Eaglin then allegedly choked the victim by holding his hand over her mouth and by the neck in order to stop her screams. The documents said that the victim feared physical EAGLIN ’19 harm from the defendant if she resisted.

In the documents Cornell Police say that they recorded a video interview with Eaglin in which he confesses to the forced sex acts.

Additionally, the Cornell University Police Department says it is in possession of a taped phone call between Eaglin and another person, along with a sworn statement where he confesses to forced sex acts.

Eaglin, a freshman on the Cornell men’s basketball team, was arraigned Monday in Ithaca City Court and is being held until Wednesday in the Tompkins City Jail on $50,000 bail or $100,000 bond. The 19-year-old is due back in court for a preliminary hearing at 2:30 p.m. on Friday.

The Cornell Univeristy Police urge anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to call 911 to receive police assistance, emergency health care for injuries (appropriate to your circumstance), access to supportive services and - if you choose to do so - to report a crime.

A Facebook cover photo of computer science faculty featuring only Caucasian men has ignited a debate over the discrimination that women face in computer science.

Rachel Wells ’18 wrote an angry post on the Cornell computer science Facebook group, saying she thought there was bias inherent in the cover photo — which was later changed to one that included female professors and people of color — according to Prof. Ross Tate, computer science.

“The photograph was a stark reminder of the white male ‘bro-culture’ myth that women and other minorities in C.S. are struggling to change,” Wells said. “All good intentions aside, the posting of the photograph was insensitive to many and obviously struck a nerve through the hearts of those in the community.”

Wells’ post sparked a flurry of passionate responses from other students. Rebecca Stambler ’16, who disagreed with Wells in

an article on medium.com, said she thought the original photo was not intentionally exclusionary.

“It was an old photo, and I genuinely doubt that most people even noticed it or thought about changing it,” Stambler said.

“If having a new photo makes people feel better in the C.S. community, I am all for it. I just disagreed with the manner in which the photo was changed.”

A group of 10 students who “felt very strongly” about stereotypes in Stambler’s article wrote a response on Google Docs, according to Agi Csaki ’17, co-president of

Women in Computing at Cornell. Three authors, including Csaki, then compiled and condensed the information into an article.

“We did feel that there were a lot of common stereotypes and misconceptions about computer science that were being perpetrated by this article,” Csaki said.

“Things like saying that anyone has the right to say that women only get internships or jobs because they are women.”

The ghost of Rose La Rose is haunting the halls of North Campus, luring scores of excited undergraduates to witness a new dorm phenomenon: the Late Evening Strip Tease.

On any weekday night about eleven o’clock, the stillness before Dorm 5 is shattered by the shrill cries and whoops of an impresario.

“Everybody out,” he screams to the surrounding dorms. “It’s showtime!”

Within 15 minutes, the courtyards and balconies of North Campus are jammed with between 300 and 500 whistling, stomping, shouting spectators, staring en masse at an obscure curtained window in the high rise edifice.

Behind this window, at precisely eleven o’clock, a high intensity stroboscopic light begins pulsating rhythmically to the beat of David Rose and “The Stripper,” revealing the shadowy forms of numerous feminine and quasi-feminine dancers in the process of disrobing.

In the well-honored strip tease tradition, the gray phantoms wriggle and bend, stretch and titillate, as articles of clothing slip from sight or drift out the window.

“More skin!” They clamor below. “Take it off!”

Investigation has revealed that the mastermind behind

the nightly mayhem is a group known as the “North Campus High Risers,” a group of theatrical neophytes directed by Fred A. Levine ’73 and Mark L. Wurzel ’73, with choreographical assistance from Jessica L. Bram ’74.

Most of the strippers are male and female volunteers, attracted by the mystery of a vanishing art form. One of these is Nancy.

“Not many people have the nerve to strip,” she observes, “but it’s good for the ego, especially when they can tell it’s a girl.”

The daily stripping event had its origins about two weeks ago when the impresarios began playing renditions of “The Stripper” every night. “Then we started choreograping,” says Wurzel, a member of the 1971-72 University Senate executive committee.

“People don’t have any fun any more at Cornell,” explains Levine. He said he hopes the High Risers’ act will help to resurrect some of the frolicsome spirit of the vanished goldfish-swallowing days.

“We’re just trying to get people together,” he adds “It’s like a communal feeling.”

“Dorm stripping is an institution already,” concludes Susan M. Sussman ’76, as the last pair of perfumed panties wafts softly to the earth. “It’s part of North Campus.”

The Board of Directors recently implemented a policy change that allows organizations to make room reservations for the new semester, instead of for the entire year, according to Patel.

Cornell Minds Matter found the change helpful because the organization was able to notify necessary contacts in advance, according to Matt Ferguson ’16, the club’s president.

“It also helps us being able to do it early, for example, a semester early, so if you had a speaker come, or a yoga instructor, you can let them know in advance,” Ferguson said.

Patel, however, said the change made it more difficult for some groups to obtain room bookings.

“One problem with opening them up early is that these spaces get filled before the new semester even starts and that makes it really difficult for people to find spaces to have any kind of programs,” Patel said. “There’s a significant number of groups who don’t know their programs ahead of time. We always get groups asking us later in the semester if there’s any space, and we have to say, ‘Sorry, there isn’t.’”

The currently policy of prioritizing events with a large number of attendees is harmful to smaller organizations, according to Sungwon Yun ’16, president of Cornell DanceSport.

“There are performance groups catered to minority groups,” he said. “It’s not necessarily fair to give priority based on headcount.”

University Cornell Women Attend Technology Conference Over 200 Cornell business students participated in the third annual Johnson Women in Technology Conference, titled “Dare to Dare,” on Friday, according to a University press release.

The conference consisted of an “idea pitch competition” that gave MBA students the opportunity to hear from judges that are a part of private equity and venture capital firms.

One team from Cornell proposed a method for producing high-quality neurobodies that can reduce sepsis, a complication from infection.

The conference, originally founded by MBA students, is still led by students today, according to the release.

Enginering College to Offer Business Fellowship Graduate students will study entrepreneurship, collaborate with Johnson School

By DAVID BROTZ Sun Staff Writer

Beginning this June, the College of Engineering will offer a fellowship for Ph.D. students studying commercialization to provide them with hands-on experience in business, according to Prof. Emmanuel Giannelis, materials science.

Plans for the fellowship have been in the works since last spring, Giannelis said.

“Lance Collins, Dean of Engineering and I were looking for initiatives to enhance the experiential learning of our graduate students,” Giannelis said.

ers who contributed to the making of the document or agreed with the opinions expressed in it, according to Csaki.

Csaki said the co-written article aimed to provide a different perspective on the issues Stambler was discussing.

“Some women maybe have not faced discrimination and that’s awesome, but other women definitely do,” Csaki said. “We wanted to help give some women a voice who might not feel comfortable coming out in our community right now and saying ‘Yes, I have faced discrimination’ and ‘Yes, my confidence is something that I struggle with.’”

Randy Tung ’18 — who created a satirical version of the updated group cover photo by adding a picture of him and his friend in the panel — called Wells’s post well-intentioned but unnecessary.

“First, her post included ad hominem attacks towards the overall computer science community,” Tung said. “Second, the change to the cover photo was unwarranted because the individuals in the original cover photo are

some of the most prestigious professors in Cornell.”

The disagreement over the Facebook photo is part of a larger national debate about the status of women in computer science, as universities attempt to create environments that are more welcoming to women, according to Tate.

Women in Computing at Cornell, the Association of Computer Science Undergraduates at Cornell and the computer science department will co-host a discussion of women in computer science — moderated by Tate and Prof. Kavita Bala, computer science — on Monday, according to Csaki.

Csaki said WICC hopes that the Facebook discussions would calm down by creating a public debate. The forum will also be an opportunity for the computer science community to re-evaluate its policies, according to Stambler.

“All of the responses and articles written have certainly opened our eyes to the variety of experiences people have in C.S.,” Stambler said. “Hopefully these discussions will help us gain more perspective and will leave C.S. a more welcoming environment for all.”

S.C. May Toughen Abortion Laws COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina is on the cusp of passing a bill prohibiting nearly all abortions past 19 weeks of pregnancy, making it the latest of 15 states to pass restrictive bans whose constitutionality has yet to be ruled on by the U.S. Supreme Court.

A compromise approved Tuesday by the Senate allows exceptions to the ban only if the mother’s life is in jeopardy or the fetus can’t survive outside the womb. That was crucial for passage in the Senate, where Democrats had blocked the legislation for years.

The measure’s limited defini-

tion of “fetal anomaly” means it would be illegal to abort a fetus with a severe disability if the child could live.

“I can live with it,” House Judiciary Chairman Greg Delleney, a Republican, said of the compromise worked out over the past year. He likened abortion at five months gestation and beyond to “infanticide.”

The bill is among several fronts abortion rights supporters say make having the procedure tougher. Abortion opponents have also passed laws requiring clinics to get admitting privileges for doctors and banning a

procedure commonly used in the second trimester, known as an evacuation method.

In Florida on Wednesday, legislators passed a bill that would prohibit public money from going to Planned Parenthood, among a host of other new restrictions.

Delleney, one of the South Carolina Legislature’s staunchest abortion foes, expects the GOPled House to give final approval and send the bill to Gov. Nikki Haley’s desk in the coming weeks. The Republican is expected to sign it, though her office has not said whether she will.

Jordan could have been first Cuban-American justice

MIAMI (AP) — A federal appeals court judge who could have become the Supreme Court’s first Cuban-American justice has withdrawn his name from consideration, a Democratic senator said Wednesday.

Judge Adalberto Jordan told U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) that he is not interested in being a candidate for the court opening. Nelson spokesman Ryan Brown confirmed the conversation on Wednesday, which was first reported by CNN. Jordan’s office in Miami had no comment.

President Barack Obama is considering a number of candidates to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, and Jordan has been confirmed twice before by the U.S. Senate. Republicans, however, have vowed to block any Obama nominee in hopes that a new Republican president can pick a successor.

Jordan, 54, has a compelling life story.

Born in Havana shortly after the communist revolution led by Fidel Castro, Jordan emigrated to the U.S. with his family as a small boy, along with thousands of other Cuban exiles. He attended a Catholic high school in Miami and got both his bachelor’s and law degrees from the University of Miami.

Jordan, who goes by “Bert,” has served as a federal prosecutor, a U.S. district judge appointed by President Bill Clinton and has sat on the generally conservative 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals since 2012 — the first Cuban-American to do so. He also clerked for former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and was in private practice for five years.

The Senate confirmed him to the Atlanta-based appeals court by a 945 vote.

During his confirmation hearings, Jordan was asked by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) about his views on the impartiality of judges and whether there was any place for personal or political viewpoints in their rulings.

“We are all human beings, of course, but I think as a judge you need to try and strive very, very hard to make sure you are deciding the case on something other than your own preferences and views, whatever those might be,” Jordan replied. “So I have strived and I hope I have achieved impartiality in my years on the bench in Miami.”

As a district judge, Jordan presided over a number of high-profile cases, including the convictions of brothers Hector and Eduardo Orlansky in a $164 million bank fraud case.

The Bathhouse Globetrotter Finds Masturbatory Utopia I

f you are a dude who enjoys fucking other dudes, I strongly encourage you to go to a bathhouse at least once in your life.

My most memorable bathhouse experience was at this place in London.

Descending from the lockers in only a towel and flip-flops, I saw that there were showers next to an endless darkroom labyrinth. I hadn’t even planned on traveling to London, but E.U. visa issues forced me off the continent and into a London bathhouse filled with uncircumcised studs of many ages and colors. Despite London’s stilted old world feel, the offerings at the bathhouse were dynamic and vibrant.

Walking through the darkroom, seeking the gazes of passers-by, I gently brushed away gentle touches on my arm from guys who didn’t interest me. Unfortunately, many guys I liked also averted their glances upon eye contact with me. Still nervous about the prospect of screwing a complete stranger in a darkroom in another country, I considered making a run for it.

Up until that point, I had only heard of things like bathhouses and cruising from older gay mentors who had lived in NYC and S.F. in the 1970s. With sodomy legally outlawed until 2001, gays created saunas and bathhouses to provide somewhere for men to go to the spa, unwind and (hopefully) get some action while there. Alvin Baltrop’s photo collection Under

the Piers records public outlaw sodomites cruising Manhattan’s West Side Piers prior to their demolition in the ’80s. But now, with gay hookup apps like Grindr and Scruff, you can privately organize hookups and shop around virtually, never physically interacting with other cruisers in public. Hopefully the placards in the Teagle Men’s Locker Room referencing “inappropriate behavior” are signs that reports of cruising’s demise at Cornell have been greatly exaggerated. And bathhouses, of course, still exist today (like the West Side and East Side Clubs in Manhattan, or Steamworks in Chicago).

At the London bathhouse, as I passed the occasional guy giving a blowjob, empty sex swings and little porno cabins, my appetite for sex kept me primed for the prowl.

Finally, about 20 minutes after arriving, I caught the attention of this really hot guy — just tall enough, light brown hair darkened by the red lighting, scruffy face, just hairy enough on his chest and stomach. I made eye contact, and he looked back. I gave myself a little tug through my towel, and he rearranged his towel for me to catch a glimpse of what was on offer. I got close enough to let out a soft but audible “Hello.”

And then we gleefully looked for a little sex cabin to get away from the others. No orgy room for me — well, at least not that time.

Among American friends, I don’t usually admit that I’ve gone to (and really enjoyed) bathhouses because of the scarlet letter that some might tack on. Luckily, gay men in

Europe of all ages are a bit more accepting of going to the baths. My gay Belgian friend told me that when he came out in high school, his teachers almost immediately asked if he would check out the bathhouse.

Obviously I want to avoid claiming that there is some gloriously accepting, pro-sex culture in Europe, since my worst experiences with physically threatening homophobia were in France and Germany.

But the very idea that gay Americans find bathhouses distasteful because of how the Internet has bizarrely “privatized” gay sex only explains things partially. That idea doesn’t account for the troubling cultural irony that safer sex emerged in New York as a queer political intervention during the AIDS epidemic, even though it is unequivocally my European gays who talk more openly about condom use and other forms of harm reduction, regardless of the sexual locale.

Whatever model of “culture” you choose, there must be other “cultural” factors at play here.

Honestly, I don’t even remember my bathhouse beau’s name, but he was definitely Australian, on an extended business trip to London. Of course, I only found this out after what seemed like two hours of intense play. It was surprising that this stranger took things slowly, actually communicating with me about where I wanted things to go. It was such a contrast to the hookups that I had found online in the States, where the entire conversation about what we were “into” sex-

ually had taken place beforehand. Maybe the bathhouse setting demands verbal and nonverbal communication that guys from Grindr often forego to just enact whatever they discuss beforehand. Hell, the frat boy closet cases and other horny Cornell Grindr guys could learn a thing or two from my bathhouse stud!

After teasing me with his hands and mouth for a while, he started thrusting himself between my legs from the front and had me almost begging to have him inside me.

My Australian stallion definitely met all the criteria of a “masc dom top”— he had the size and knew how to use it (with condoms and lube, of course) — but made sure that his bottom was enjoying the pounding as much as he was. A good bathhouse fuck like this one is bittersweet because the act is ephemeral but the positive memories persist.

Since I’ve had good sex like this (in London, Berlin, and elsewhere), my masturbatory fantasies luckily offer real solace … especially when college boys can’t get their shit together to fuck me (let alone have a relationship).

Considering that Grindr may ultimately aid the anti-sex agenda to eliminate gay sex in public, I only hope that other guys are not stifled by peculiarly American, puritanical privacy of their own bedrooms.

Boys, get back to the bathhouse!

I Scream ... for More than Ice Cream The Cornell Dairy Bar

By CATHERINE ELSAESSER Sun Staff Writer

O

ne of my earliest memories of Cornell involves the Dairy Bar. My family was on a summer visit to campus and the surrounding Ithaca area when I was in middle school. I remember my dad explaining to me how the ice cream was made on campus and that students were able to interact in the process, something certainly special about the university. The Dairy Bar has undergone a makeover since my visit years ago. I remember how excited I was as an incoming freshman to hear that the Dairy Bar would be reopening to students, faculty and visitors to the university that year.

The space has transformed from a cramped, dark store with a few tables and a small counter for the frozen treats to a modern, inviting, beautifully designed space.

I can never turn down a scoop of ice cream. Whether it’s celebrating the first warm days of spring

semester with my roommate, showing my best friend campus and all the culinary treats it offers when she visits for Slope Day, or stopping by the Dairy Bar with my sorority sisters for a midday Homecoming cone, I have many memories of enjoying ice cream on campus.

Located past many of the School of Agriculture buildings on Tower Road, the Dairy Bar is located in Stocking Hall and is always worth the trip. In addition to offering 25 plus ice cream flavors, the Dairy Bar serves up sandwiches, salads and grab-and-go items for quick fuel between classes. I was excited to discover that the Dairy Bar also carries Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters coffee, one of my favorite coffee blends on campus. There is a wide array of dairy products to try, including Cornell Dairy milk, pudding, yogurt and Big Red cheddar produced right on campus in the processing plant. The cold case holds ice cream sandwiches, pints of ice cream and even offers gift bags

stocked with all of your favorite goodies — perfect for late night prelim cram sessions.

I headed to the Dairy Bar on a w a r m Monday to meet a friend for lunch.

Overall, Stocking Hall was fairly quiet, with a few students studying at tables throughout the open, clean white space. Before indulging in any frozen desserts, I wanted to sample one of the sandwiches from the Dairy Bar’s lunch menu. I decided on the muffaletta, which was loaded with flavorful ingredients. The sandwich was

stacked with salami, ham, lettuce, slices of roasted red pepper and was served warm on a hearty rosemary flecked roll. The highlight of the sandwich was the two condiments: the first, a tangy mayonnaise-based sauce and the second, a kind of olive and caper spread that provided the perfect briny flavor. My friend opted for the tuna melt, also served warm on a similar roll with cheddar cheese melted on top. The sandwiches came with a side of kettle chips, but as my

friend suggested, it would be nice to have the option of veggies on the side instead, since many other campus eateries offer this.

Finally, it was time to indulge in the star of the Dairy Bar: the ice cream. I have a weakness for anything involving chocolate, so I decided on the Bavarian Raspberry Fudge and tried a scoop of Ezra’s Morning Cup for an extra buzz. The Bavarian Raspberry is creamy vanilla ice cream swirled with raspberry and chunks of dark chocolate. The Ezra’s Morning Cup is a rendition of a classic coffee ice cream, and the coffee flavor was just strong enough but not overwhelming. My friend sampled a scoop of the Cookie Dough Dream and was thoroughly pleased with her choice.

Whether stopping by for a quick cone or a leisurely lunch on a sunny spring day, the Dairy Bar is a great place to meet and enjoy a treat on campus.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Student Fashion Spotlights

Caroline Donelan ’16 Discusses Collaboration, Confidence and Sportswear

BY SHAY COLLINS Arts & Entertainment Editor

Throughout her time on the hill, Caroline Donelan ’16 has always sought to take advantage of Cornell’s opportunities, both academic and extra-curricular. Her various interests have led Caroline to take various classes outside of the Fiber Science and Apparel Design major, such as Introduction to Wines and Vines, and to join Cornell’s running club. Donelan’s interest in running and athletics greatly influenced the senior collection — which features a number of different sportswear garments — that she will display at Cornell Fashion Collective’s runway show this Saturday.

After graduation, Caroline plans on continuing to work with sportswear in a technical design position at Nike.

THE SUN: What got you into fashion, was it always a part of life, or was there one moment when you decided that you wanted to study it?

C A R O L I N E D ONELAN : I always knew that I wanted to do design; I’ve always loved hands-on projects. I taught myself how to sew when I was in middle school, and just worked myself up from there.

For a long time, I never really had a focus in design, but over the past two years, I’ve been able to define it. I’m still not the most high-fashion designer, but I love creating and designing functional garments, I’m a

very practical person. I’ve geared my collection over the last few years towards athletic wear. I really like working with athletes and finding that thing that they don’t yet have, but that they want to improve their performance, or comfort.

When creating my collection this year, I worked directly with the track team here at Cornell. I interviewed with a bunch of runners in the fall and got a broad scope of not only their clothing and their complaints about it, but also of their training regimens, what sort of exercises they do and how long they train for. I wanted to have an idea of how long they’re wearing these garments, what role these garments need to fulfill and how can we make them better.

S UN: What attracted you to Cornell’s fashion program when you were thinking about where you wanted to study?

C.D.: I definitely wanted a university with a broad scope, and also a college campus feeling.

Because I wasn’t the most artsy kid in high school, I knew that I didn’t want to be in New York City at a design-specific school.

S UN: Through your four years at Cornell, have you found that your vision has coalesced, or is it still a learning process of trying new things?

C.D.: I definitely like trying new things and experimenting with new features of various garments. My big thing in this collection is digitally printing and for some pieces I specifically engineered the design of the garments to be cut into single pieces of fabric. This way there are minimal seams on the garment to reduce the risk of chafing and discomfort for the athletes, so it’s a process of having different

shapes mold around the body and then forming it into one garment. So that process was new for me this year.

Also, I designed the print used in the garments itself because I wanted to create a dimensionality in the fabric that reflects the athletes themselves.

Especially with running, but I believe with a lot of sports, there’s a huge mental aspect of it, you have to believe in yourself and believe that you can do it to even step up at the starting line. So the garments bring in the PHOTOS COURTESY OF CAROLINE DONELAN 3-D reality of the runner, like yes, they’re varsity athletes, but they still have mental barriers to encounter on their way to the finish line.

S UN: You were talking earlier about your collaboration with the track team, and even here, all of the designers share studio space, do you feel that the collaboration aspect has changed your vision throughout your time at Cornell?

C.D.: It certainly influences my ideas, I feel like the way I work is very team-oriented. In this collection, I wanted it to be for the track team, so I asked them time and time again to be very honest with me when I asked, ‘How does this feel?’ ‘What do you like?’ ‘Do you want something different?’ Not only in terms of comfort and fit, but I also wanted them to feel strong and great in their clothes, just to build their confidence. I definitely like working with a team and coming up with a single goal.

From Pre-Med to Refined Eveningwear With Robin Reynolds ’16

BY JAEL GOLDFINE Sun Senior Writer

Robin Reynolds ’16 believes in the personal, the intimate, the individual — and their capacity to triumph over conformity and conventionality through design. Compelled to pursue a career in clothing design as a result of her experiences as a preprofessional dancer, creating and altering clothing for herself and other dancers, Reynolds seeks to articulate wearers’ multidimensional identities and depth, through her luxurious detail, defining surface elements, textile layering and deliberate construction. Her senior collection will feature eveningwear and lingerie inspired by the shapes and subtleties of glass in its various forms. The Sun had the opportunity to speak with Reynolds about her design aesthetic, senior collection, and the journey of her transfer to the Cornell Fiber Science and Apparel Design from a pre-medical track.

THE SUN: When did you first start designing? How did you end up at Cornell for design?

ROBIN REYNOLDS: It really depends on how you define the term. I believe we as people are always designing whether we realize it or not. As people in a world that has certain expectations for how we should act, think, and feel, it seems only natural that that part of ourselves [which] deviates from society’s expectations, must spill out in some shape or form. We have to mold our surroundings into a form that we can be at peace with and interact with. So it follows that from the moment I was born, I was designing, and redesigning, and rethinking how every little part of our world could be more functional and beautiful.

I would say that my journey as a designer shifted towards a focus in clothing design when there was a functional need for me to do so. Firstly, the clothing available to me in my youth has always been problematic: too short, too wide. Alterations were a necessity. As a pre-professional dancer, I became even more involved in clothing construction, altering and designing clothing for myself and for other dancers. Realizing that clothing design and construction was a real source of joy for me, I transferred to Cornell’s program after a year and a half at

COURTESY OF CORNELL PERFORMING AND MEDIA ARTS

Secret in the Wings: A Preview

BY SAM MORRISON Sun Contributor

Fairytales are fun as hell. But we rarely access the kind of childhood innocence that allows us to immerse our world completely in someone else’s. Theatre practitioner Mary Zimmerman taps into this potency in collaboration with the famous ensemble-based company, Lookingglass. The product is Secret in the Wings, which strips down six relatively obscure and decidedly strange European fairytales and jam-packs them into a script that forces its actors into highly physicalized ensemble gymnastics. Senior Performing and Media Arts and Government double major Brian Murphy is the daredevil of a director who found this play, which, at least in terms of normative narrative structure, presents itself as a hot mess of a script. The fairytales quickly intertwine and dig deep as the process of navigating the structure of the play becomes more and more enjoyable.

Senior actor Max Joh-Carnella thinks the cast has embraced the psychic space of childhood throughout the process. “The whole cast brings a sense of childness not in a simplicity sort of way — wide eyed exploration — in a way that only a child can explore the things that we take to be true,” he said. This acute sensitivity in engaging with rehearsals is Murphy’s ambition. Mirroring Lookingglass’ original creation process, Murphy blew up the traditional rehearsal framework. He introduced a number of ensemble building exercises before they even got to the text, just to build trust and chemistry between the actors as they explored the script.

Actor Siobhan Brandman ’17 said that rehearsals had no consistency in structure. The first rehearsal was a Lego building exercise and the rest was a mix of collective staging and winging it.

Brandman identifies the one caveat — “We started out everyday writing ideas and stuff on the blackboard Mad Libs style,” she noted. If you’re still unconvinced that the generative process was atypical, senior actor Jazlin Gomez accounts her favorite evening so far: “We spent an entire rehearsal just trying to get Siobhan to laugh. A jersey shore character telling knock-knock jokes finally did it. So did a stripper unicorn.” Stripper unicorns. I honestly don’t know what more you could ask for.

Murphy is pleased with how openly the cast has embraced the avant-garde process. His hope was to get as close to from-scratch devised theatre as possible while still starting with a script. So he approached the show as a co-collaborator as much as a director. “I saw my job as someone to provide as much creative input as I could and some scaffolding for everyone else to put their art in,” Murphy said. It certainly struck a chord for sophomore actor Irving Torres, who said his favorite part was “feeling that my input mattered. Everyone really wanted to know what I thought about things.”

This production is not like anything you have seen at Cornell — and the process behind the product is equally as unique. The script, rehearsals and final performance have a dangerous and innovative feel that is often lost on main stage season shows. In Murphy’s own words, “We are making a different kind of theatre than what people are used to at the Schwartz Center.” And let me tell you, I could not be more excited. This weekend at the Black Box Theatre, theatrical absurdity meets childhood. Don’t miss it.

Secret in the Wings will be performed Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Schwartz Center’s Black Box Theatre.

Tickets are $5 and can be purchased online.

well, but almost immediately got hurt, having to get Tommy John surgery and missed the entire next season.

Bush’s injuries would have been enough to derail his career, but his legal problems made things even worse. Just weeks after he was drafted, he was arrested after getting into a bar fight while underage. He struggled extensively with alcoholism throughout his career and life, but stayed out of trouble for the most part.

This changed in 2009 when Bush was caught on video beating a freshman high school lacrosse player with a golf club while screaming, “I’m Matt fucking Bush!” Shortly after, the Padres traded Bush to the Blue Jays for almost nothing.

Bush assaulted a woman at a party in Florida a month later, leading to his release from the Blue Jays. He eventually found a match with the Tampa Bay Rays, who signed him to a minor league deal.

At this point, Bush had received two

“No person, no matter how talented of an athlete singer or acress they are, should be given such leeway.”

Noah Elden ’19 DUI’s and had his license suspended, but other than that, had put together a couple of years where he stayed somewhat healthy and out of legal trouble. In the spring training of his third year, he ruined any good reputation that he had left. He borrowed the car of his teammate Brandon Guyer — who was unaware that Bush was not allowed to drive — and drove drunk. He then hit 72-year old motorcyclist Tony Tufano. Faced with the possibility of a third DUI and legal complications from driving with a suspended license, he fled the scene. In the process of leaving, he ran over the motorcyclist.

Miraculously, Tufano survived, but he deals with extreme pain and will be limited in his physical abilities for the rest of his life.

This was in March of 2012. Bush was released from prison in October of last year. He served just under four years in prison, and was recently signed by the Texas Rangers to a minor league contract, which is contingent on Bush not driving, not drinking and being accompanied to spring training by his father. Bush has been given an excessive amount of extra chances due to his physical ability. No person, no matter how talented of an athlete, singer or actress they are, should be given such leeway. Bush has a history of aggression, violence, and drunk driving, so his sentencing should not have been as light as it was, and Major League Baseball should not have allowed his re-entry into the sport.

The MLB has recently emphasized a policy that is tough on domestic violence.

Players have been banned permanently from baseball for a variety of actions. In 1920, Benny Kauff of the New York Giants was banned for selling stolen cars.

Fergie Jenkins — later re-instated — and Steve Howe were both banned for cocaine use, and former owner Martie Schott was banned for slurs against minority groups.

The reasoning for those bans was a lack of character, which is very evident in the case of Bush. The MLB has both the ability and incentive to ban Matt Bush from ever playing baseball again.

to finish plays.”

“If we can’t get to 10, 11, 12 goals it’s going to be tough to win,” he continued.

Rupp was in accordance with the need for making the most of chances.

“We definitely did some good things against Albany, and we’ll definitely take what we did well there, but we've got to shoot better,” Rupp said. “We’re doing a lot of shooting drills at practice, and I'm confident some more goals will start to go in this weekend for us.”

With such a young team, Kerwick knows that consistency in finishing chances and offensive production will come with patience and time.

“We’re working on it,” he said. “It’s a process right now with a younger group and a new group, but it’s our focus.”

But it’s not just the younger guys who need to improve. Rupp, who has looked to the seniors as mentors, has been playing like a veteran college shooter himself, despite having only ever played in three collegiate lacrosse games.

Rupp credits some of his success to the mentorship he’s received from the team’s upperclassmen, including senior midfielder John Edmonds.

“They’re always there for me and always there to talk, just about lacrosse or about things off the field,” he said.

“That definitely helps on the playing field when you have a good relationship off the field.”

However, with the way Rupp has

been playing, Kerwick is starting to push the team’s players to use him as an example as well.

“He finishes the ball [which is] one thing that we’re lacking … and for him to do what he’s doing right now is great for our team,” Kerwick said. “We’ve got to have some other guys follow his lead and kind of watch the way he does things [because] he’s an excellent shooter.”

The Cavaliers defeated the Red 1514 last season in Charlottesville, so the Red are looking to respond with a victo-

ry on home turf. The Cavaliers are 10-5 all time against the Red. Despite this, Kerwick has a winning record of 2-1 against Virginia since he began coaching the Red in 2014. He and the team are confident that they can bring home the victory in front of the home crowd this Saturday.

“This game we just have to get our our shots, play aggressive defensively, and take some risks,” Britton said.

We’ve played them well and anticipate this will be a good, hard-fought series. Our guys are excited about it.”

One degree of separation for each team has been rest, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Right now, the Red is in its groove and could catch the Bobcats off guard with a quick Cornell start, but at the same time Quinnipiac’s strong legs — the team is coming off of a bye — could prove to be a challenge in the long-term.

In accordance with the tradition around the hockey world, the men have been growing their superstitious playoff beards. The challenge has become a friendly competition off the ice for the boys.

“The team decided about three to four weeks ago to start growing playoff beards. Vanderlaan’s is right up there; he looks a bit like a lumberjack,” Syer joked. “The boys are having some fun with it for sure.”

Weaver, Verlander and Drew were all projected to go higher in the draft, but would have been significantly more expensive. Ownership decided that it wasn’t in the budget to draft a more expensive player, and requested for the front office to make the most cost-effective selection.

They selected Bush. He received a signing bonus of $3.15 million and was assigned to the minor leagues. He struggled tremendously, hitting .192 and .221 in his first two seasons. Injuries and legal problems followed, and he never was able to play another full season. In his fourth year, the team gave up on his ability to hit and converted him to a pitcher. He started off See ELDE page 15

Playing against a high school buddy in the college level is an incredible experience. On the one hand, it can bring back earlier memories of playing together, but it can also lead to fierce competition and the development of an even deeper friendship over time.

Freshman attack Colton Rupp will experience something like that this weekend, when the men’s lacrosse team takes on the University of Virginia. Rupp says he has four friends on the Cavalier squad.

“It will be great to play against them and definitely get a win,” he said. “I haven’t talked to them yet, but we’ll probably shoot a text before the game, wish each other good luck. It’ll be fun to see each other again.”

When it comes to gameplay, No. 17 Virginia (3-3, 0-1 ACC) is much better than what its record might indicate, and the Red (1-2, 0-0 Ivy) will have to come out fighting in order to be successful.

“I think when you’re talking about a perennial powerhouse in Virginia, a loss to them is always going to hurt,” said senior defender Tony Britton.

“They’re a good team this year … [and] we know they’re going to come into Ithaca guns ablazing … so I think it’s important we come out with the type of intensity that this program is accustomed to coming out with.”

Playing on Schoellkopf will definitely help bolster the Red’s confidence and pride.

“Every time we play a team like Virginia on our home field it’s an opportunity for all of those guys in the locker room to show what we’re made of,” Britton said.

A problem for Cornell all year has been capitalizing on opportunities.

The Red took 45 shots in the game

against Albany last weekend, 35 of which were within nine yards, but only came away with eight goals. The Red will have to step up on offense in order to be successful against the Cavaliers.

“It’s not good enough just to generate good looks and good shots,” said head coach Matt Kerwick. “You have See LACROSSE page 15
