Police Report Armed Robbery at Subway Restaurant

By JOSH GIRSKY Sun News Editor

Ithaca Police responded to an armed robbery at a Subway Restaurant at 401 Elmira Road on Saturday evening after a store employee reported the crime.

Officers spoke with a store employee, who said that at approximately at 8:45 p.m., as he was preparing to close the store, a man entered wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black ski mask, according to a police report.

The clerk was forced towards the register and then to open it as the suspect held a handgun, according to the

report.

The suspect then reportedly took an undisclosed amount of money from the cash register before fleeing the restaurant on foot, possibly towards Spencer Street, according to the report.

The suspect is described as a black male of average build with a dark complexion. He wore a gray hooded sweatshirt, dark sweatpants and a black ski mask during the robbery, according to the report.

No injuries were reported, according to the report.

Police advise that anyone who has any additional information about the

robberty should contact the Ithaca Police Department.

This armed robbery follows a shooting near the 100 block of Cleveland Avenue last week, when police responded to an argument between two individuals when one of the two suspects discharged a handgun.

Police did not recover the weapon and did not identify either suspect at the time of the shooting. Both individuals fled the scene, according to a police report.

Class Councils Host Big Red Carnival

Local Tompkins Assemblywoman Proposes Improved Lead Testing in Schools, Day Care Facilities

By ELEANOR GOOD Sun Contributor

Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton (D-N.Y.), who represents Tompkins County and parts of Cortland County, said in a statement Thursday that she is introducing new legislation that aims to improve the lead testing in the state’s water, according to the Ithaca Voice.

The new legistlation would require schools and daycares in a given water district to use water testing experts in ensuring that lead levels do not rise above acceptable quantites. If any source were to test above 15 parts per billion, parents would be notified.

This legislation follows a recent wave of lead detection.

Several Tompkins County Schools have tested positive for high lead in water sources.

One sink in Caroline Elementary School had so much lead in it that the Environmental Protection Agency considers it “toxic waste,” The Voice said.

Carnival cheer | Students enjoy food, games and performances at Cornell’s first Big Red Carnival on Friday night.

Over 1,000 students flocked to Barton Hall for Cornell’s first Big Red Carnival — a fun-filled evening of games, food and performances on Friday night.

The event, sponsored by the Cornell Class Councils, aimed to unite the Cornell community and foster a sense of school pride, according to Daniel Engelson ’18, a member of the planning committee.

“We want people to feel that Cornell is their home, and the carnival is a step in that direction,” Engelson said.

Attractions included games, a photo booth and student performances by Cayuga’s Waiters, Cornell Sitara, Cornell Juggling Team and The Hangovers.

The event started out as a “battle of the classes,” in which students from different years and organizations would compete against one another, but was eventually transformed into a school-wide carnival, according to Engelson.

Student attendee Dustin Liu ’19 expressed support for this move towards inclusivity.

“I think it’s really great that we have events that bring together the entire Cornell community, not only the classes,” Liu said.

Emily Lien ’19, attendee, said she participated in the carnival games in order to win the most tickets and walk away with the grand prize — tickets to the Governor’s Ball in New York City in June.

“We’re in it to win the [Governor’s Ball] tickets,” Lien said.

The Class Councils also set up a fundraising table to collect donations for the President Elizabeth Garrett Fund for Colon Cancer Research.

Each class council was originally meant to raise money for their own cause, but the Class Councils decided to focus all fundraising efforts on President Garrett’s prevention fund, according Taylor Christensen ’17, class council philanthropy chair.

Christensen added that half of the donations will be given to Anabel’s Grovery, because it helped sponsor the carnival.

The event was a success due to the high turnout and fun-filled atmosphere, according to Engelson.

“When I looked around the gym floor and saw a lot of smiles and students running around laughing, I personally felt as if our job had been successfully done,” Engelson said. “I'm excited to see half a year’s hard work finally come to fruition.”

The Class Councils hope to make Big Red Carnival an annual event, according to Engelson.

High Schoolers Attend Women’s STEM Outreach Event

By GRACE SANTARELLI Sun Contributor

Thirty-six female high school sophomores engaged in scientific inquiry and discovery at Cornell’s seventh annual Women’s Outreach in Materials, Energy and Nanobiotechnology event Saturday.

The event, sponsored by the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering’s Graduate Women’s Group, aimed to encourage high school girls to go into STEM fields, according to Yaset Acevedo Ph.D. ’18, the group’s outreach coordinator.

“Volunteers led hands-on laboratory exercises and student panels to introduce high school girls to engineering and science, inspiring them

to pursue a college education and career in these areas,” Acevedo said.

Acevedo added that there are proportionally less women, especially in rural New York, who go into STEM majors.

“Here in Ithaca we’re uniquely placed with Cornell,” he said. “10th grade is a good time to attract ladies to this field because they’re still figuring out what they want to do for college, and it’s still early enough in their high school career that they can take more science or math courses.”

The group started planning the event in October with several checkpoints along the way, including a laboratory safety check and event run-through.

“In January, applications were sent out to

Starting spring

around thirty high schools in the surrounding area,” Acevedo said. “Guidance counselors were given the opportunity to invite two girls who they felt would benefit from the outreach program.”

Graduate students participated in the event in hopes of “inspiring the high school girls to make decisions similar to their own,” according to Acevedo.

There was also a parent portion of the event to help parents encourage their daughters to go into STEM fields. “[The parent portion] included a discussion about helping their daughters apply for college admission and financial aid, as well as a special See OUTREACH page 4

laboratory experiment set-up for the parents to help their daughters,” Acevedo said.

The lab activity had parents and students work together to investigate surface tension and density by attempting to float a paperclip on water. They added soap and honey to water to make it more dense than the paperclip, so the paperclip would float, according to Stacy Knapp, who did the experiment with her daughter Matilda.

Meghan Kodd, a student attendee, called the volunteers who organized the biology lab “amazing” and “energetic.”

Meghan’s father agreed, saying the energy level at the student panel was “great.” “[The college students] seemed very focused and passionate about their majors,” he said.

The event also included a panel of undergraduate and Ph.D. students who discussed topics ranging from their high school course load to Cornell’s role in shaping their designated career paths.

Kodd, who said she is interested in a career in science, called the event “a great experience.”

“I’m definitely going to apply to Cornell,” Kodd said.

White Student Union Promises March UNION

number with a 603 area code. “We want the Cornell Plantations name to stay as is. We want BSU disbanded and more fair dialogue about the issue of race.”

The group also criticized what they called BSU’s attempt to promote a program of “racial reeducation,” pointing to BSU’s calls for a diversity course requirement and increased diversity in Gannett Health Service’s resource center staff.

“They want to have black therapists at Gannett to ensure that they can understand minorities, because they don’t feel like they’re understood,” one of the anonymous students said. “There are not just whites [at Gannett currently]. We find this absolutely ludicrous. Present me metrics on… how [black therapists] would understand your plight in a different way.”

Responding to the claims made by the anonymous students, a representative from BSU said, “Until members of the Union of White Cornell Students reveal themselves, their opinions about our demands, our organization and our race are not of consequence.”

In response to questions regarding the group’s legitimacy and anonymity, the students said members of the union choose to remain anonymous and meet secretly in small groups because they are concerned for their safety.

“Since we’ve started people have been trying to discredit us,” one of the anonymous students said.

“They don’t want to believe that a voice like ours could exist on such a liberal campus with such a liberal bias.”

The anonymous students claimed that the union is made up of between 140 to 170 members, with 20 to 30 graduate students and undergraduates from at least six undergraduate colleges at Cornell.

While the group plans to deliver demands to the Cornell administration soon, the union has not had any contact with Cornell administration yet and is not officially registered with the University, according to the students.

In November of last year, 31 other “White Student Union” Facebook pages appeared, claiming to represent groups from universities around the country. While many of these pages received support the same white supremacist website, The Daily Stormer, that is sponsoring Cornell’s union, several were exposed to have no credible link to the campuses where they originated.

Addressing the legitimacy of these groups, Auernheimer conceded that some of the White Students Unions had received little support from students on campus, but called others were “very real,” adding that Cornell’s union has the support of many student members.

The anonymous students also said that the Cornell campus will soon recognize the group’s legitimacy when the union organizes a “march of white students and white civil rights activists” with financial and logistical support from The Daily Stormer.

Auernheimer said The Daily Stormer has provided the union with a $500 grant and said that he intends to be one of the speakers in the lecture series the group aims to initiate. “[The Daily Stormer] is involved in a number of outreaches to white students unions, a reporter posts on Daily Stormer forums, and after some sort of communication we provide financial support sometimes,” said Auernheimer, who has previously written for The Daily Stormer. “So we’re providing a small grant to the white students union at Cornell, and I provide logistical assistance and I’ll be a speaker.”

The two anonymous students said that the union’s formation and open letter have received mixed reaction on campus, adding that despite significant criticism, many students have reached out to the group through their Facebook page to address the group’s aims and intentions.

“A lot of people have reached out to us through the page and said this is a dialogue that we need to have,” one student said. “Even if they don’t support white activism they do believe that the concerns that we have are legitimate.”

The students also said that the group originally tried to work with student organizations to organize a speaker series, claiming that they have previously and unsuccessfully attempted to convince the International Students Union to sponsor journalist Milo Yiannopolous.

ISU has refuted this claim, saying that the members of their executive board have not had any contact with the Union of White Cornell Students and the group does not plan to collaborate on a speaker series, according to an ISU executive board member.

“ISU stands in strong solidarity with protecting and upholding the interests and representation of minority communities including the international students community at Cornell,” the representative said. “We are strongly against any forces that threaten to hurt or undermine the pluralist fabric of this campus.”

The anonymous students on the call denounced being labeled as a “hate group” and said the unions’ members are not racist. Instead, they described themselves as “just very concerned white students.”

“We’re not considered minorities. We’re considered privileged, and slowly there has been this dialogue of minorities that they need to have certain rights,” one anonymous student said. “They don’t have rights already? I’m sorry, I must have misunderstood. But when it comes to me it’s a different story, isn’t it?”

The students and their external supporter stressed that their group is legitimate and its proposed projects imminent.

“This is coming, this is going to happen, there’s nothing you can do about it,” one student said.

“White people are fed up with being treated like a minority. Do you understand that?”

COLA, AIC Celebrate Release of Poet QATAR

Continued from page 1

Ajami was arrested for “inciting the overthrow of the ruling regime” and “criticizing the Emir” through two poems he read in Cairo, according to a letter.

“The poems in question did, in fact, express sympathy for the Arab Spring uprisings that famously gripped nations throughout North Africa and the Middle East that year,” the letter stated. “As an artist and man of conscience, Mr. alAjami used the spoken word to envision a more perfect and just future.”

Ajami was held in solitary confinement less than ten miles from Cornell’s medical campus in Qatar. The campus was formed with the help of the Qatar Foundation, chaired by

Qatari royal Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser, a member of the family that “arbitrarily put Mohammed al-Ajami behind bars,” according to the letter.

Hanna said Kotlikoff responded to a letter-drop from COLA and AIC before Ajami’s release, and he believes that Kotlikoff definitely had an influence on the outcome.

“We think that Kotlikoff ’s letter definitely serves as an admission that Cornell and other American institutions have a stake in Qatar’s human rights record, and also reveals a particular institutional mechanism through which Cornell could potentially place pressure on the regime,” Hanna said.

Kyle Friend ’17 added that Ajami’s release is great news for all involved.

“We at Amnesty International were delighted to hear

of Acting President Kotlikoff ’s willingness to speak up on behalf of Mr. al-Ajami, and his desire to use Cornell's influence in the region for the greater good,” Friend said. “Even more importantly, though, we are overjoyed to hear that Mr. alAjami is free from his unjust detention, and is able to return back to his family.”

Hanna called Kotlikoff ’s response “encouraging,” saying that Ajami’s release was “the result of intense collective action and pressure” on Cornell’s campus.

“Amnesty [International] and COLA will definitely hold the University to a high standard going forward, especially given the supportive rhetoric of the letter,” he said.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT It’s Not the Years,It’s the Mileage: Ageism and Sexism in Hollywood

I

’ve already gone through the seven stages of grief for Indiana Jones. In the eight years since the lackluster reception and, if I may say, gratuitous backlash to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I had accepted that my favorite cinematic character was dead and buried, interred until the inevitable reboot resurrection returned the whip-cracking archaeologist to the silver screen.

Shia LaBeouf pre-notbeing-famous-anymore had been set up as the likely standard bearer, or perhaps Chris Pratt would pick up the fedora, but someone had to replace Harrison Ford, who had long expressed a disdain for returning to popular roles.

On Tuesday, Disney and Steven Spielberg announced that they were going ahead with the long-gestating fifth Indiana Jones movie, to be released in 2019. Of course, this was to be expected: When Disney bought out Lucasfilm in 2012, they made even though, as former Arts Editor Kaitlyn acquired the entire Star Wars saga and the ability to Tiffany put it, “HF will definitely be dead by then”? print money, but also the rights to any future treks for Maybe Disney is doing this for the insurance policy, the globetrotting acquirer of rare antiquities. What some femme-fatale in a modern-day Double Indemnity.

Remember when Sean playing typical old guy parts, and at Connery played Harrison Ford’s dad in The Last this point I doubt he ever will, because Crusade? He’s only 12 years older than him — granted, he’s not really old, just his body.

Can we assume this movie will be this conversation if Indiana Jones was a woman (and how cool would a female Indiana Jones be?!). Of course a 73year-old actress would be too old to play the lead in an action movie, no question about it. Older female actors are required to make the leap into typical old woman parts — main character’s mom, stuffy spinster — or face unemployment, unless you’re Meryl Streep. Not everyone is asked to star in Ricki and the Flash.

For some reason, COURTESY OF UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Sean Doolittle

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Hollywood believes that 73year-old men are still smuggling rathtars across the galaxy and getting nuked in fridges, but 73-year old women are sitting around and slowly getting dementia or while the men in their life do far more interesting things. Actors have the luxury of picking their roles to suit their interests; if Harry wants to star in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Prunes, he can, for his starpower wills it to be so. These roles simply don’t exist for older women.

I am reminded of the infamous comments Russell Crowe made last January, when he told reporters, “To be honest, I think you’ll find that the woman who is saying that is the woman who at 40, 45, 48, still wants to play the ingénue, and can’t understand why she’s not being cast as the 21-yearold.” Crowe, who you may COURTESY OF PARAMOUNT PICTURES remember as the one mediocre singer in Les Misérables, has always strictly abided by his own age when it comes to casting, like when he played real-life boxer James J. Braddock in Cinderella Man — who, in 1935, became heavyweight champion at age 30 — at the very accurate age of 40. Or when he played real-life mathematician John Nash from age 18 to 66 in A Beautiful Mind, all from the tender age of 36.

It’s honestly asinine to think that female actors should have to observe some arbitrary age limitations based on, let’s face it, unabashed sexism in the industry, while male actors get to play far under their age on a daily basis. I needn’t even COURTESY OF UNIVERSAL PICTURES bring up the claims that leading men age while their female love interests seem to remain the same age, but I will anyway. Harrison Ford is one of the worst offenders, consistently co-starring/making out with actresses 10 to 20 years his junior. Sure, he had youthfulness during his Star Wars days, but even then he was 41 when Return of the Jedi came out and Carrie Fisher was only 27. That just makes the entire romance seem kinda weird now.

I’m just tired of seeing old men romp around with their wrinkles and have all the fun, Expendables-style, refusing to let it go, while women age out of Hollywood by age 50. Honestly, I actually have some respect for Sly, who has let go of Rocky the boxing champion who beat Apollo Creed and the communists and embraced Rocky the sad old man who wears fedoras and has cancer. That’s more akin to what actresses his age get to play, so it’s only fair.

Mustang: Looking for a Way Out

BY CATHERINE HWANG Sun Staff Writer

With heads of dark, rich, slightly wild and uncontrollable hair, the five orphaned sisters of Turkish-French film director Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s Mustang — Lale (Güneş Şensoy), Nur (Doğa Doğuşlu), Ece (Elit İşcan), Selma (Tuğba Sunguroğlu) and Sonay (İlayda Akdoğan) — seem to fly free in their rural Turkish village, independent, bright and happy. But this sense of freedom only remains during the brief beginning prelude before their conservative relatives lock the girls away from the world and try to mold them into perfect wives when the girls are (wrongly) accused of indecent play with male classmates on the beach. A story of female empowerment and of being jolted into adulthood, Mustang’s sisterhood is both beautiful and tragic.

We’re guided through the story by Lale, who is the youngest, and in some ways the most visibly rebellious, sister — she seems too young to marry, she enjoys soccer and she sneaks out of her window like she was born to do it. Seeing the world of Mustang through Lale’s eyes is essential. Kept in the house the longest, Lale watches as the walls become higher and the windows become barred. Seeing all of her older sisters quietly married off after awkward sessions of tea and biscuits with suitors and future in-laws, Lale grows increasingly spirited (and desperate) as she looks for ways to sabotage her relatives and ultimately free herself from the confines of her new prison.

It’s also important to note that Lale, in her youth, lacks predefined judgments about groups in society to a certain

degree. Though a feminist, progressive piece, the film doesn’t look to condemn a general group, such as men or older generations. Instead, it creates a vivid and fleshed-out world, in which random individuals, like the truck-driver or one of the many aunts (enlisted to mold the girls into wives), help the girls out of kindness. The film refrains creating flat, caricaturized characters though it does seem to roughly divide the cast of characters into the general “good” and “bad.” The same

film largely comes from the clash of unease and worry of the adults about societal expectation and sexuality, and the fierce independence and (relative) innocence of the sisters. The fact that the natural growth and innocent liveliness of the girls are twisted into immoral and dirty behavior is a testament to that.

And the girls do their best to fight this, actively disobeying their grandmother and uncle as much as possible in order to stay themselves as much as possible. They sneak out, have premarital sex, spit in drinks and rip and toss restrictive dresses; they do their best to stay ahead of the patriarchal game, succeeding at times and resignedly failing at others.

The film’s aesthetics mirrors this tension in a rather wistful smoke of light; bright colors of the sisters’ outfits versus the drab clothing they are forced to wear, a balance between the energetic movements of the sisters and the silent confines of the house.

Certainly, the film has its moments of unnecessary extremity at times, such as the extent to which nearly the entire village oppresses the girls, or the unrealistic way the television catches a clear shot of the girls at the soccer game they’re not supposed to be at. But it doesn’t feel gratuitous. It’s a film that gets your heart racing and makes you earnestly root for the five sisters, from their beautiful moments of courage to the moments filled with empty eyes and dejectCOURTESY OF AD VITAM DISTRIBUTION ed frowns. These ultimately come together goes for the girls.

From the Editor

Credibility,Anonymity And Legitimacy On Friday, The Sun published a news story online titled “Aided by White Nationalist Groups, Union of White Cornell Students to Release Demands, Host March” detailing an interview with two anonymous people claiming to be members of the Union of White Cornell Students and white nationalist Andrew Auernheimer.

While the legitimacy and scope of the Union of White Cornell Students remains unclear, The Sun continues to actively investigate this organization. Moving forward, The Sun refuses to continue reporting on this group until its members’ identities are verified.

We feel that we cannot continue dignifying this group’s requests for anonymity as its members prepare to host a speaker series and a white students march, continue to share inflammatory and divisive aims and become more involved on-campus.

Especially as the Union of White Cornell Students plans to release a list of demands to the Cornell administration soon, it will become impossible for us to produce accurate reporting on the union’s intentions and motivations if its members refuse to provide us with their identities.

Many readers have appropriately questioned whether the Union of White Cornell Students is a hoax, following a chain of 31 fake white student unions created in November. These concerns are valid, especially since white supremacist website The Daily Stormer was involved in the creation of the hoax unions and appears to be providing logistical and financial support to the Union of White Cornell students.

However, several key differences distinguish the Cornell union from previous hoaxes.

In a span of four days from Nov. 19 to Nov. 23, at least 30 Facebook pages surfaced, claiming to be white student unions at various college campuses. On Nov. 21, Andrew Anglin, editor of The Daily Stormer, encouraged readers to make Facebook pages even if they did not attend the colleges. These pages shared identical statements of purpose, and several were taken down hours or days after creation. In contrast to these short-lived hoaxes, the Union of White Cornell Students was created nearly three months after Anglin’s post, has been consistently active since March 2 and has shared Cornell-specific positions and demands.

There remain many questions regarding this union. We are committed to producing the strongest stories possible, and using anonymous sources risks the quality and credibility of our reporting. We recognize the importance of taking a firm stance on the use of anonymous sources, which remains an important and contentious issue for all papers. Just last week, The New York Times instituted a stricter policy on the use of anonymous sources. Like The Times, we place utmost importance on maintaining our credibility and our reader’s trust, and we will continue doing so with our future coverage.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any concerns, comments and questions at editor@cornellsun.com.

Aditi Bhowmick | Abstruse Musings

The Rest Is Silence T

he flipside of being aware and constantly thinking, questioning and critically analyzing everything we come across is the sheer anxiety it translates into. As someone who has struggled with a mind that does not believe in quietude, I have been thinking deeply of silence of late. Silence is powerful. Yes, it makes us uncomfortable but embracing silence makes a world of a difference. This is especially relevant in our microcosm on the Hill. Personally, I have been trying to deal with my battle with silence. It is hard especially at Cornell when we are constantly worrying about something or the other. I am devoting this column to the power of silence because it is perhaps the most important takeaway for me in my final semester at Cornell. As someone who is inherently garrulous, it does not come easily to me. But, in several situations over the past few months, I have grasped the significance of silence.

It is most tedious to silence my mind before going to bed. On nights when I am able to ignore the deluge of thoughts that get unlocked as soon as the lights go out, silence has been therapeutic. It has been soothing. It has been like a homecoming where you close your eyes and know everything is bound to fall into place one way or the other.

This semester, I am facilitating a dialogue on gender as part of the Intergroup Dialogue Project. There has been a lot of emphasis on facilitating silence and allowing it to fill the room. Silence, in this context, has been a form of communication. When emotions run high and triggering situations emerge, silence gives you the time and space you need to absorb the experience. Silence allows you to respect. Silence makes feelings palpable.

When you are spending time with someone you deeply care about, silence is comfort and an expression of love. Being able to sit and let each other’s presence be enough is a meaningful elucidation in itself.

During the times I have learned to silence my mind, I have become a

When emotions run high and triggering situations emerge, silence gives you the time and space you need to absorb the experience. Silence allows you to respect. Silence makes feelings palpable. better listener. I am always one to raise my hand in class. These days I write down in my notebook “Don’t speak for the next twenty minutes,” and it has influenced my ability to learn. When I consciously focus on silencing my mind, I listen not only to the words spoken by others but the stories hidden behind the words. I pay attention to language, intonation, personalities and experiences.

Silence can be a form of quiet revolution. When words don’t suffice and only leave you feeling frustrated, silence is a marvel. The mental ability to be silent is a privilege, one that I have only started acknowledging now.

The silence that tied the Cornell community together on the Arts Quad when we were honoring President Elizabeth Garrett’s memory this past week was poignant, compassionate and stirring. With all of the emphasis on speaking out that has been such a defining aspect of my life for the past 22 years, I had either not noticed or forgotten the importance of silence. When a powerful speech is delivered, the efficacy lies in the silence that follows the final words spoken. Silence marks the anticipation before one says “I do” at a wedding. Silence is a treasure in a world where entire cities are dealing with drones, explosion and violence day after day, for years and decades. Silence can be peace — both comfortable and uncomfortable. Silence is transformative and profound. If we think about it, silence holds our lives together. Silence is humility, unspoken understanding and in so many ways, life changing. My dialogue about silence has only begun and it is a challenging one, but at the end of the day, when the night silently descends, it is rewarding.

Comment of the day “I do know that a student proudly gripping a Cornell diploma in their hand with no academic understanding of the sociology of racism in America is a student that is woefully unprepared to set foot in the real world.”

Juliana Hong | Guest Room

A Mosaic of Responses to Germany’s Acceptance of Refugees S

itting in an advanced English course in a German high school, Jane* blends into the crowd. She is surrounded by white faces and occupies her place amidst the neat rows of off-white desks. She reads the same textbooks, laughs at the same jokes and writes with the same pencils as her classmates.

Yet, her past is so starkly different from the peers she sits next to.

She is a refugee, who initially escaped to Greece and now lives in Germany with her mother.

She has slept in refugee camps and has been forced to live with strangers in crowded spaces. She is one of the 1.1 million refugees who have come to Germany within the past year and are trying to integrate into German society.

Over winter break, funded by the Meinig Family Cornell National Scholars program, I traveled to Germany to gain onthe-ground information about the influx of refugees in Germany and to hear the stories of people like Jane who have been affected by the greatest movement of refugees to Europe since World War II. Currently, the primary issue of concern and goal for Germany is integration of these people. In the next few years, what will Germany look like? How will Germany change?

By conversing with people directly facing the effects of the situation, I caught a glimpse of the integration process that has just started to begin during the past year and a half.

A remarkable response through the Willkommenskultur (Welcoming culture) has been fostered by ordinary German people who are motivated by a moral imperative to help and welcome new refugees. Adrian, a high school student I spoke to, had just spent his winter break on the shores of Greece, distributing socks and warm clothes to refugees arriving on flimsy boats.

Maren, a full-time consultant, served as a grassroots organizer during the weekends, using food and community dinners as means to connect Germans and refugees. Henoch, a biotech sci-

entist, expressed his belief that “it should be absolutely natural for Germans to provide any kind of help for the reason that they’re human beings.” As I looked into the eyes of person after person describing their commitment to creating an accepting culture, I couldn’t help but marvel at the inspiring acts of humanity displayed collectively through individual Germans.

And yet, there exists an apparent clash between moral desires and pragmatism. The challenges have also overflown to various parts of society. Some doctors are forced to work 2 a.m. shifts to accommodate newly arrived refugees. Christiane, a labor researcher, expressed her concern regarding the government’s mistake of letting in people without proper identification. Even “ideal immigrants” — young, university educated, and ready to work — are stuck waiting and receiving government support due to the bureaucracy.

Furthermore, during my time in Germany, Cologne — the very city in which I was staying and the fourth largest city in Germany — captured international headlines for the attacks that occurred on New Year’s Eve. There, hundreds of women were attacked, sexually assaulted and stolen from by hundreds of “men of North African or Arab descent.” This incident of crime only bolstered the heightened tensions that permeated the conversations, news headlines, and street protests.

As a result, there was perhaps a noticeable shift in media sentiment, towards a more critical lens. Initially, some Germans felt that there was a degree of social pressure perpetuated by the media to fully support refugees without focusing attention on the challenges. Gerit, a German graduate student, said, “I think the media in this year will be playing a very important role in how the society in Germany thinks.” For many, German media outlets are immensely influential sources of information regarding the situation.

However, instead of the polar-

ized dichotomy depicted widely in portrayals, the German responses appeared to represent more of a mosaic, comprised of varying levels of concern and optimism and nuanced understandings. People are clearly conflicted on how to proceed. There exist reasonable people with valid, understandable apprehensions. Surprisingly, one Iranian refugee expressed her opinion that Germany’s choice “was the best decision for refugees, but the worst decision for Germany.”

Ironically, some right-wing conservatives and immigrants share the same skeptical opinions.

Many were very careful in articulating their thoughts, cautious not to offend or appear judgmental. Still, others were genuinely fearful of increases in crime. As one university student said, “In this situation, the simple solutions are the wrong solutions.”

Not even a century has passed since the horrific events of the Holocaust indelibly stained Germany’s history. And yet, present-day Germany has demonstrated a striking shift in attitude.

As put by a German woman, “Only someone who has seen the wall through Berlin and the lethal fence of the Iron Curtain with their own eyes, can correctly assess what that means… This year our country has had the historic opportunity to show that our hearts have really changed, from a country that wanted to wipe out a whole nation of people to a country that can take in a whole nation of people.” Their actions are not clouded by idealism, but they are fueled by clear and thoughtful motivations. The complexities of the situation demand flexibility, adaptation and a willingness to be uncomfortable. As Germany wrestles its moral ideals with its pragmatism, the solutions cannot be reduced to simple answers. *Names have been changed for privacy reasons.

‘Passing on theTradition’

Dean, Garrett Earn National Titles

Cornell takes seventh in NCAA Championship held at Madison Square Garden WRESTLING CAMERON POLLACK / SUN PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Perfect Garrett | Senior Nahshon Garrett’s national title completed his undefeated season.

Witherspoon when his knee gave out. The junior entered the match seeded second in his weight class, and finished as the national runner-up last year. Despite losing the match, Realbuto miraculously came back and decided to give his consolation match a go. Despite working off one leg, he almost won, only losing a 6-5 decision to Chattanooga’s Sean Mappes after a last-second takedown was called off.

“I don’t think people truly appreciate how frightening that experience is when you don't have the use of one of your legs and you’re out there in front of 18,000 people and you’re almost embarrassing yourself, but he fought his ass off and I was proud of how he wrestled,” Koll said. “It was unfortunate that he didn’t win, but at the same time, I don’t think we would’ve put him out again.”

Beyond just Garrett, Dean and Realbuto, Koll said he was proud of the performance of all his wrestlers on the weekend, which included freshmen Dalton Macri, Joe Galasso and Jeramy Sweany, junior Dylan Palacio — who placed fourth at 157-lb — and seniors Duke Pickett and Owen Scott.

“When you have two of your top kids go down like that, it seems to represent the whole team, which is unfair, because overall, they’re not scoring tons of points, but they’re wrestling,” Koll said of Realbuto and Pickett’s first round losses. “When you look at the three freshmen we have here, our heavyweight gets caught and pinned late in the late period [on Friday], otherwise, they’re winning matches at the national championship and that really makes me feel good.”

Reacting to the show of support from many Cornellians who attended the tournament, Garrett found himself emotional speaking about finishing his collegiate wrestling career.

“It’s easy to get caught up in it when they were singing the National Anthem,” Garrett said. “I was in tears because I was overwhelmed by the glory of the spectating and just everything emanating from me and from

from where we started to where we are now as a group, I remember coming into Cornell when I was a kid, getting the crap kicked out of me every day by Cam Simaz [’12].”

Now a junior, Dean has become one of the leaders of the NEW YORK, N.Y. — With the lights at their brightest, senior Nahshon Garrett and junior Gabe Dean were at their team and, unlike in his freshman season, is “not getting best. Garrett and Dean both won national titles as Cornell [his] head shoved into the bleachers every day.”

“The point was these kids, not just me but my whole wrestling placed seventh in the nation, at the 2016 NCAA class, we kept coming back and didn’t Wrestling National take no for an answer,” Dean said.

Championships held “We didn’t have the perfect NCAA “And you know what, we didn’t have at Madison Square Garden over the Tournament, but we’ve got a lot of fighters on the perfect NCAA Tournament, but we got a lot of fighters on our team and weekend.
