Cayuga’s Waiters Permanently Forced Off Campus After Hazing Investigation

By STEPHANY KIM Sun News Editor

After a temporary suspension was put in place Sept. 2, Cayuga’s Waiters — Cornell’s oldest all-male a cappella group — has been “permanently dismissed,” according to the University.

During the investigation following the suspension, the organization was discovered to be allegedly involved in hazing activities throughout the fall 2015 and spring 2016 semesters.

These activities included requiring new members and non-senior members to “sit naked in an ice bath in a bathroom during an

organization trip; apply Icy Hot to their genitals; and race up and down a street and then consume food,” according to the University hazing website.

Furthermore, the investigation found that these activities had allegedly been going on for at least 10 years.

Although there were “positive steps to ameliorate some aspects of the hazing activities and reduce elements of hazing rituals in the fall 2016 semester,” the effects of these changes were unclear because the organization was suspended two weeks into the semester.

Following the investigation, the University Hearing Board “levied a list of sanctions against the

More Than $800 Worth of Items Stolen From Vehicles At Hasbrouck Apartments, CUPD Reports Cornell University police sent an email to students Wednesday morning, alerting them of a series of thefts from vehicles parked at Hasbrouck Apartments.

The apartments house many of Cornell’s graduate and professional students and are part of the University’s on-campus housing system.

The thefts occurred overnight on Monday, April 24 and Tuesday, April 25, according to the crime alert.

“An unknown person or persons entered five parked vehicles and stole cash, electronic devices and other personal items,” the crime alert read. “At this time, no description of the suspect or suspects is immediately available.”

According to the University crime log, the value of the items stolen and reported to police totaled approximately $800.

Among the items reported stolen include a DVD player, two

Garmin GPS’s, Oakley sunglasses and several insurance cards and bankcards. The thefts occurred from both secured and unsecured vehicles.

“Cornell University Police urge the community to take steps to protect their property by locking and removing valuable items from vehicles when parked, and to immediately report any suspected criminal activity they may see,” the crime alert read.

Two dozen posters in the Arts Quad depicting Tibetans who had self-immolated in protest were snatched last week by an unknown person or people on the same night a Cornell group had put the signs up.

“Self-immolation has begun to boom since 2009 [and] the [2008] Beijing Olympics, when people were desperate about the situation in Tibet,” said Tenzin Dechen ’18, a member of TIC. “It did garner a lot of international media attention then, but, since then, coverage has died down and we wanted to let the campus know that this is still happening.”

The posters attracted attention from pedestrians who walked around Arts Quad on the first day of the campaign, organizers said, which was their intention. Their mission, members said, was to make students aware of the acts by making the acts of protest visible.

“That first day was great,” said Tenzin Wagmo ’18, a member of TIC. “We were not expecting people to research or act on this issue. People were stopping at the signs and just reading it. That’s all we wanted, and people were doing just that.”

Professor Details Human Sense of Self at ‘Last Lecture’ Prof.Harry Segal says humans develop sense of self by associating experiences

By JACOB WEXLER Sun Staff Writer

“Descartes was wrong. He said that ‘I think, therefore I am.’ It really should be I associate, therefore I am.” said Prof. Harry Segal, psychology, detailing the way he understands the human sense of self.

Segal gave the lecture as part of the “Last Lecture” series hosted by the Mortar Board/Der Hexenkreis Senior Honor Society. As part of the series, professors are asked to give a hypothetical last lecture at Cornell, requiring them to think about what topics they find most important or intriguing.

To contextualize his own views versus the current perspectives on the notion of the “self,” Segal provided a history of the concept, stretching back to the origins of religions.

“There was this idea of a divide — this notion across many cultures that we have this body with instincts, but our actual consciousness is given to us by supernatural beings,” Segal said. Similar concepts of the soul and body are prevalent in Christianity, Judaism and Islam, he said.

Discussing the perceived relationship between mind and body, Segal said that “up until the 19th century, these models were overwhelmingly dualist” with the mind and body being considered separate.

Segal also referenced Freudian theory to elaborate on the history of the sense of self.

“Sigmund Freud would explain that you all think you are the person that you are conscious of at that moment,” he said.

However, Segal argued, there is more than just the conscious self and people can only see “glimpses” of themselves in certain situations.

“My prediction is that there is no ‘self’ that we are going to find in the brain. ...

But we each have a style of thinking.”

Prof. Harry Segal Further relating the history of the idea of the self, Segal explained that beginning in the 1970s, new models of self-awareness arose in which our concept of self — our self-image, our self-identity, our self-perception and our self-conception — are all interconnected.

“Connectivist models assume self is generated by hidden layers of node activity in the brain,” he said.

Providing a fuller picture of the subject, Segal discussed David Hume’s declaration that there is no self and that any idea of self must be derived from an

Who am I? | Prof. Harry Segal, psychology, discusses how people perceive themselves as part of the “Last Lecture” series, which encourages professors to give hypothetical last lectures at Cornell, exploring topics that intrigue them the most.

impression and that there is no enduring self. Others view the self as simply a social construct created by “cultural moment” and “context.”

Delving deeper into specifics and detailing his own perspective, Segal explained how the complex associations we make between our experiences in the present and our past experiences were an evolutionary advantage. These associations also allow us to develop an idea about who we are.

"In our great evolutionary advantage is our capacity to respond emotionally in the moment and to associate our present experience in memory,” the professor said.

Although an advantage in evolution, our ability to associate has also left humans vulnerable to trauma, Segal said. Humans, he added, “evolved the capacity to dissociate and go into trauma when an event is too traumatic.”

Segal explained that “when [a] memory or event is so traumatic, the brain creates a quarantine — a barrier.

But, our memory is creating associations anyways, we

are just not conscious of it.”

Because “we associate with everything,” Segal said, though it may seem counter-intuitive, the treatment for trauma and patients with post-traumatic stress disorder typically involves asking the subject to recall traumatic events over and over again.

“Once you can remember something emotionally, it can be a part of your history,” Segal said.

Segal noted that while there are still many unknowns regarding the brain and the way in which human perceive themselves, he believes the associations humans form shape the sense of self.

“My prediction is that there is no ‘self ’ that we are going to find in the brain,” he said. “But, we each have a style of thinking created by the innate capacities of our brain, our cultures, our families and our individual histories.”

Standing Rock Documentarian Speaks on Environmental Justice

By GLORIA JUYOUNG LEE Sun Contributor

In response to the protests at Standing Rock as well his own personal experience of having his son arrested while protesting, Fidel Moreno, an Oscar-nominated director, created a documentary and gave a premiere screening to the Cornell Community.

The screening of Moreno’s documentary — “Gathering Our Hearts at Standing Rock” — was followed by a panel discussion Tuesday night.

The film is an ongoing documentary project that Moreno started about five months ago with just one other coworker to paint the stories of the “protectors” at Standing Rock and their connection to the history of the American Indian Movement on their treaty-given lands.

“I first decided to start this project after seeing my son get arrested during the pipeline protest because he trespassed,” Moreno said.

Following the movie screening, six panelists, who share an indigenous background or are members of an association related to the issues brought up by the film, spoke to their experiences and relationship with the protests.

In addition to the director, the panel

featured Chief Sam George of the Cayuga Nation; Cole Norgaarden ’17, director of Environmental Justice for Cornell Environmental Collaborative; Abraham Francis, Mohawk and member of the Indigenous Graduate Student Association; Grace Bulltail, Crow and member of the Indigenous Graduate Student Association;

and Eva Bighorse, Cayuga who currently resides in Cayuga Nation territory. The panel was facilitated by Laura Lagunez ’16, a member of the Nahua and Dine tribe.

Responding to the potential overlap between environmental justice and indigenous sovereignty, Moreno emphasized the importance of this relationship between

mankind and nature.

“The question is complex,” Moreno said. “I’ll simplify it — everything living needs water to live. … Whatever we do to the land, water, air, we do to ourselves. …

We need to start rethinking about how we think about ourselves and our relationship to these elements.”

Through environmental injustice that the establishment of the pipeline presents, Francis added that indigenous peoples’ sovereignty was being robbed.

“Our sovereignty has been disrespected through this pipeline and a lot of other situations,” Francis said.

Bighorse also shared her personal experience becoming more conscious about “mother Earth” as she spent more time learning her tribal language.

“Mother Earth sustains us everyday with life, and we give thanks for that everyday,” Bighorse said.

The documentary will be released online within the next three to four weeks, Moreno said.

“I hope [the documentary] can make people become more aware of their daily surroundings on how they deal with water and other resources,” Moreno concluded.

Students Suspect Foul Play After Pro-Tibet Posters Snatched POSTERS

Continued from page 1

More than half of the signs, 24 of 34, were missing on the second day of the poster campaign, and most TIC members suspect foul play.

“We couldn’t continue the poster display because, after the second day, over two thirds of it [was] gone,” Wagmo said.

“All four title posts were gone,” Wagmo said, making her think that wind or other weather was not the culprit. “We talked to maintenance about it. It’s not like [the signs] were scattered across the Arts Quad, they were all just gone.”

All of the posters with political messages were removed from the Arts Quad, said a CALS junior who spoke to the The Sun on the condition of anonymity because the student had “family back home in Tibet” and was worried about potential consequences of speaking to the press.

“I looked at the posters that were gone,” the student said.

“A lot of them had quotes. Any posters with quotes that mentioned anything that was slightly political, like they did it in front of a government building, were gone.”

“All four title posts were gone ... It’s not like [the signs] were scattered across the Arts Quad, they were just all gone.”

Tenzin Wagmo ’17 Given exceptional circumstances, Cornell administrators extended the duration of the poster campaign and worked to find the culprit, TIC members said. But the campus group lacks the time and money to launch another poster campaign and the identity of the potential vandal remains unknown, Dechen said.

“At the moment, we are corresponding with the Cornell administrators to find out what next steps to take,” Dechen said. “But our budget is shot, and it’s prelim season. We realistically can’t do much for this semester … [the possible vandal] could be anyone. There are no cameras in the Arts Quad.”

Chinese Students’ Perspectives Vary

Campus activity concerning Tibet is a controversial topic for Chinese international students studying in the United States. Chinese students recently protested the selection of Dalai Lama, the exiled head of the Tibetan government, as the commencement speaker at UC San Diego, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Some Chinese international students studying in Ithaca were also unnerved by the Tibetan poster campaigns.

“It’s complicated,” a Chinese student in the College of

Arts and Sciences told The Sun on the condition of anonymity because the student feared retribution if they were identified. “There are two different versions [of history], and I don’t know which is true. But, I feel it's good to at least recognize that this conflict exists and these Tibetans are here, because they are considered minority groups, even here.”

Self-immolation in the Tibetan context is not an “act of suicide,” Prof. Jane-Marie Law, religious studies, said in an interview.

“Self-immolation is a long-standing form of protest in the Buddhist world … done when people have no sense of agency,” she said. “It’s very different from suicide. What makes self-immolation not a suicide is the motivation — it is done to prevent suffering of someone else, or on behalf of your community … it is the ultimate selfless act.”

Self-immolation is a very sensitive issue for the Chinese government, which often perceives the act as a symbol of Tibetan defiance of Chinese authority in the area.

“The Chinese government does not freak out without good reason,” Law said. “What is terrifying about selfimmolation to an oppressing power … is that it tells them, ‘You don’t control my fear of pain and suffering.’ Once you realize the mental control required [for self-immolation], you realize you are oppressing someone stronger than you are.”

A Chinese sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences said pro-Tibet activism on campus is positive, but added that it is discouraging to see how the issue of Tibet was framed in the exhibit.

“Students or on-campus organizations should be allowed to express their political stances,” the student wrote in a message to The Sun. “I think removing the pictures was an unwise decision, regardless of the intentions behind it.”

“However, I am indeed concerned about some of the effects of displaying these pictures,” the student added.

“From what I have seen these pictures overwhelmingly convey the message that the situation in Tibet could not be improved unless China granted it complete autonomy, which is not consistent with political reality.”

Other Chinese students were more critical of the Tibetan campus activism for “neglecting how divisive and complex the issue of Tibet is … for Chinese international students at Cornell.” “‘One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter’ goes both ways,” a Chinese Arts and Sciences freshman wrote in an email to The Sun. “What seems to be a campaign for human rights could possibly be considered a public endorsement to a known separatist and traitor by some members of the Cornell community.”

Some Chinese students said they were supportive of Tibet, but support for more pro-Tibet policies was the minority view in some Chinese communities at Cornell.

“I think I am supportive of Tibet and campus activism

about it, but that may be because my maternal family is from Taiwan and I went to an international school and wasn’t shaped by the government in the same way,” Deanna M. Pistono ’19 said. “I don’t think I am representative of the Chinese international community who grew up in China and went through their school system.”

Law said the Chinese government generally attempts to restrict speech regarding Tibet.

“There certainly is censorship in Tibet,” she wrote in an email. “People are not allowed to discuss any controversial issues, the status of the Dalai Lama, the problem with the Chinese-selected ‘Panchen Lama,’ or any other host of issues.”

Not the First Time...

Despite TIC members’ shock, this is not the first time a political display on the Arts Quad has been vandalized. Last year, Amnesty International at Cornell’s displays, and, in 2014 and 2015, signs and chalkings placed by pro-Palestine groups, were repeatedly removed and vandalized, The Sun previously reported.

“Last year, Amnesty’s refugee display was a collection of flags from five countries with the most refugees,” said Helen Shanahan ’18, co-facilitator of Amnesty International at Cornell. “People repeatedly stole the flags, particularly the Palestine flags, and scattered them around North Campus.

It was obviously purposely destroyed.”

The vandal behind Amnesty International at Cornell’s display was never found.

“Cornell Police looked into it but they never found any leads about it, so we didn’t have any avenues to go,” said Christopher Hanna ’18, another co-facilitator for the group.

In response to last year’s vandalism, Amnesty International made sure this year’s display was securely anchored to the ground to deter potential vandals.

“The displays this year are harder to take out,” Hanna said. “The flags were just shallowly put in the ground, so an assailant can easily rip dozens and scatter them out. But these displays have metal sticks in the ground and will take a lot of time to pull out.”

Hanna suspects the vandals may have been racially motivated, aiming to negatively shape the activism culture on campus.

“I think the common thread is disrespect or [a] racist way of thinking,” Hanna said. “It’s subtly racist, because these [countries] are all non-white or otherwise on the periphery that are having their flags and displays removed.”

The fact that these exhibits have been removed from campus, Hanna said, “speaks to a toxic culture about activism on campus.”

Waiters Kicked Off Campus Congressman Quells Some Profs’ Fears WAITERS

organization and lifted the temporary suspension.” However, the Office of the Judicial Administrator appealed this decision, claiming that the sanctions were “not commensurate with the violations for which the organization was found responsible.”

The University Review Board agreed with the OJA, and “modified the sanctions and permanently dismissed” the organization.

Although the a cappella group attempted to appeal the decision of the URB to the Interim President Hunter Rawlings, the president upheld the URB’s decision.

“This behavior [hazing] has no place at Cornell, and I agree with the URB that dismissal of the organization is appropriate,” Rawlings wrote on the University hazing website.

Mary Mueller ’18, president of A Cappella Advisory Council, said that although the Waiters have not been part of the ACAC in recent years, the council “does not condone any behavior in violation of the Code of Conduct” and stands by the University’s decision.

Senior Director of Media

Relations John Carberry commented that this “step was not taken lightly.”

With 67 years on campus, the group was the campus’ oldest a capella group. Founded in 1949, the group was originally a subset of the Cornell University Glee Club. The group later disassociated from the Glee Club in 1956.

Having produced a total of 25 albums, The Waiters were especially known for one of their most popular songs produced in the mid-1990s, “We Didn’t Go to Harvard,” a parody of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

Singing along to this song with the Waiters holds the number 4 spot in 161 Things Every Cornellian Should Do. “We [the University] recognize that this organization has a deep history at Cornell,” Carberry wrote in a statement.

“Still we must act powerfully to protect the current and future students of this University when violations of the Campus Campus Code of Conduct are established through application of the Code’s procedures,” Carberry wrote.

Cornell researchers happy with ‘two-way conversation’ REED

Continued from page 1

The meeting with Reed “was a two-way conversation about the specific issues that farmers face due to the increase in extreme weather events,” Schneider said, “and the research that Cornell faculty are doing to come up with solutions that help farmers adapt and stay economically viable given the uncertainties of both more downpours and more droughts.”

Prof. David Wolfe, horticulture, was also in the meeting and told The Sun he discussed the 2018 farm bill with the congressman as well as the budget blueprint released by The White House in March.

Reed came to the meeting “with a very open mind to talk about these issues,” Wolfe said, adding that the congressman, in his fourth term, “is concerned about how weather extremes and weather might be affecting farmers across his district, the state and across the country.”

Wolfe, at the meeting, presented data from a survey he recently conducted of 270 farmers across the state showing that 80 percent of Western New York farmers said last year’s drought had a “moderate to severe” economic impact.

“Farmers just aren’t prepared for this level of drought,” Wolfe said, adding that he and Reed shared a deep interest in helping farmers deal with the extreme weather that in many cases has devastated their crops.

Wolfe and two others in the meeting said they were encouraged by Reed’s comment on the budget proposal. They said the congressman told them the cuts to research and science funding were only initial

proposals and are likely to be far from the final budget numbers.

Katherine Bunting-Howarth, associate director of New York Sea Grant and assistant director of Cornell Cooperative Extension, said she discussed how to help communities and small businesses adapt to changes in weather. They also discussed the sharp cuts in proposed spending for NOAA and the Sea Grant program.

“I felt very positive after the meeting that he appreciated the work ... the Cornell Cooperative Extension and Sea Grant does,” Bunting-Howarth said. “I feel positive that Sea Grant will survive and flourish.”

“I do remain positive that we are going to survive the potential budget cuts and I'm just going to keep fighting and ensure that people know about the importance and relevance of the work we do,” she said. “It's great being at a place like Cornell because there are so many different projects going on that are so complementary and help not just the people of New York state, but all over the world.”

Others at the meeting included Prof. Art DeGaetano, earth and atmospheric sciences, Prof.

Harold van Es, soil and water management, and Prof.

Michael Hoffmann, entomology.

Wolfe said that on the issues discussed at the meeting, “we had some real common interests.” “[Reed] seemed dedicated to helping farmers with climate change or changing climate weather, whatever you want to call it,” he said.

I

t’s standard college student protocol to hate certain questions: “what are you studying,” “are you seeing anyone,” etc. Every student has been asked these questions, and everyone has given the same, patient, noncommittal answers. Lately, I’ve enjoyed being asked the question: “Do you know what you’re doing after you graduate?”

Obviously, I used to hate that question, because there’s always so much expectation tied to it. But that’s the culture we live in at Cornell, and since plenty have taken note of it already, I won’t say a whole lot more on the matter. This is my last column here at Cornell, so I’d rather reflect on my time here than

given me in finding my way in my major, my honors thesis and my professional life moving forward.

And thank you to The Cornell Daily Sun for giving me not only a platform to spout my trash viewpoints, but also a sense of purpose and community here at Cornell. Yeah it sounds sappy, but writing for this here newspaper really made me feel like a part of the University more than any other organization at Cornell did. I never really expected anyone outside my family to read my pieces (especially running alongside our much more popular and exciting sex columns), so it was always heartwarming to receive feedback or even simple

Letter to the Editor

A week for refugees To the Editor: Today marks the beginning of a time on campus during which we once again attempt to recognize our privilege as human beings. Many of us have a place to live and a family to live with. We enjoy our safety and security regularly without questioning what it means to have such privileges and at what costs we enjoy them.

It is not our place to speak on behalf of these refugees, but it most certainly is our responsibility as human beings to learn of their hardships that we cannot begin to imagine, to actively listen to their stories, and to brainstorm and implement initiatives to welcome refugees where we can.

This week is an initiative to put refugee voices, narratives, and experiences at the center of our discussions. This is not a time to listen to politicians or political commentary, but rather to humanize these crises.

It is a time to remember and humanize the 2.6 million Afghanis, the over 400,000 Congolese, the 6.5 million Palestinians, the over 2 million Iraqis, the 4.8 million Syrians, the 3.2 million Sudanese, and the over 267,000 Yemenis who have sought refuge outside of their own countries. This does not even begin to acknowledge the millions who are internally displaced as well as the other ongoing refugee crises across the globe.

It is a time to reject the overshadowing of these lives that have been consistently and systematically overshadowed. It is a time for us to remember that this week is meant to spark awareness and actions that will hopefully last longer than seven days.

Stand in solidarity with refugees and humanity by joining us for the Cornell Week of Action for Refugees’ several events, all in anticipation of the CWR Refugee Support Gala for the City of Ithaca’s resettlement efforts.

And thank you to The Cornell Daily Sun for giving me not only a platform to spout my trash viewpoints, but also a sense of purpose and community here at Cornell. Yeah it sounds sappy, but writing for this here newspaper really made me feel like a part of the University more than any other organization at Cornell did. complain about a university I will shortly be leaving.

I know it’s always been in vogue (and usually even justified) to hate on Cornell, but in reality these past four years have been pretty good to me.

Growing up as a local unaffiliated with the university, I had that same opinion of Cornell as many others did; a passive disdain for those elites “far above Cayuga’s waters.” And to be completely honest, I only ever applied because it was close to home and I wouldn’t have to do much research to see if I liked the place. I did not care that it was an Ivy League, nor did I try to get into to any of the other seven. In fact, I only applied to three other universities: UNC at Chapel Hill and William and Mary (my parents’ alma maters), and Ithaca College, the other local school. Notwithstanding the academic quality of each of those schools, looking back it was a pretty blasé way to plan my future. And to be perfectly honest, part of me did not even want to go to Cornell.

But I’m sure as hell am glad I did. Yes, I confirmed several negative preconceptions during my time here. The crushing drive to succeed is very real, and I’ve certainly met a whole lot of people whose personalities can only be described as “inherited wealth.”

Overall, my time at Cornell has been incredible, the friends irreplaceable and the education truly world-class. My professors, without exception, have been caring, wonderful people, and the English Department here is, as far as I’m concerned, without peer. I especially want to thank my advisor Prof. Londe and thesis advisor Prof. Anker for their incredible classes and all the help they’ve

recognition that someone I had never met had checked out my columns.

Frankly, it still floors me that anything I had to say managed to garner a response at all (shout-out to my fans in the comment section).

But that question, “Do you know what you’re doing after you graduate,” remains the quintessential Cornell inquiry. What’s the next step in your bright and lucrative future as an employable individual? I don’t much care for question itself, but I love telling people my answer: “no.” I have no clue what I’m doing when I graduate. Yes, the fact that I don’t have a job lined up, that I don’t have a great Master Plan for my life, is anxiety-inducing. But that attitude is what got me into Cornell University in the first place, and it is one I intend to maintain after I leave.

I never meant to go here, just as I don’t mean to go anywhere specific after college, and the last thing I want to do is forget to live a little on the way to my future. I know many people here may disagree with that mentality, no one knows the definitive formula for success, and so far, it’s worked out fine for me.

And to anyone else in my predicament, don’t let it stress you out; to quote Jackson Browne, “There’s a world you know / There’s a way to go.” You’ll find your path, everyone ultimately does, and there is nothing wrong with wandering for a bit, I know I will be.

Take it easy Cornell, and thanks for everything.

The 10 People You’ll Have Sex With at Cornell C

ornellians like to have sex (I mean, have you read this column before?), and who can blame us? Between the never-ending stress of classwork, the brutally frigid winter, and the crushing fear that we’ll all end up dying alone, people here would likely explode (literally, in some cases) without the opportunity to fuck around a little bit. In a school of 14,000 undergrads — and 7,000 graduate students if you have a thing for that — Cornellians have their pick of a broad selection of sexual partners. During your four years in Ithaca, you’ll probably encounter a variety of snuggle buddies.

Here are the 10 types of people you’ll have sex with at Cornell: 1. The First: It’s o-week, and you’ve ventured out into Collegetown with your 50 new best friends you met on your floor. You make your way into a crowded, dingy annex, pour yourself a solo cup full of Barton’s vodka, and soon find yourself chatting up an equally confused and out-of-place freshman girl. You ask her what her major is — it’s PAM — and before you know it you’re making out in a drunken haze while EDM blasts in the background. You stumble back to your room and try to remember how all the pieces fit together while your roommate forlornly reads a book in the common room. Congratulations! You’ve had sex at Cornell. Welcome to college.

2. The Athlete: You somehow wound up at the crew/track/volleyball house, and then somehow wound up in a crew/track/volleyball bed. You wake up exhausted to an empty bed. Practice starts at 6:30 sharp, and an NCAA athletic career is more

important than whatever you can offer her.

3. The Best Friend: You know you shouldn’t have gone through with this.

She’s known you since you step foot on campus your freshman year — you’ve spent countless nights in her dorm just listening to music and chilling, but nothing’s every happened. That is, until now.

The next morning you make sure to wake up before she does so you don’t have to see

talents. At least, that’s what you think till your mutual friend sends you screenshots of their group chat. Not only does she spend a good two paragraphs roasting your skills in bed, but now you have to see her friends knowing full well they’ve heard about your thing for feet.

6. The One Way Out of Your League: How did you do it? You still don’t know. Before you met her, you didn’t believe in the perfect woman, but now

7. The One From Class: “Hey, don’t you sit by me in Professor Gold’s class?” An innocent question, for sure, but it leads in only one direction, and your shared passion for labor law quickly morphs into shared passion for reverse cowgirl. each other. You’ll never speak of it again, and in a few years you’ll look back and laugh at it.

4. The Senior: She shows up to frat parties in sweatpants. She’s only taking 12 credits, so you have plenty of time to fool around during the day. You’re not quite sure how you ended up with her, but you like it — it gives you street cred, and the other guys on your floor give you approving nods as you walk out of your room together. She’s very experienced, and sometimes you get the suspicion she’s just keeping you around for what’s in your pants rather than what’s in your head.

5. The Group Chatter: You think you’re good at what you do. You’re a fucking stud. Girls should be grateful that they get to experience your natural gifts and

you’re not so sure. When you asked her to be your pong partner you didn’t even expect her to acknowledge you, let alone leave with you. That night, she blows your mind. Your friends will never believe you when you tell them what happened. She’s gone when you wake up, and she isn’t returning your texts, but you know she’ll be back.

7. The One From Class: “Hey, don’t you sit by me in Professor Gold’s class?” An innocent question, for sure, but it leads in only one direction, and your shared passion for labor law quickly morphs into shared passion for reverse cowgirl, and even though you know it’ll be beyond awkward next week during lecture, you let yourself enjoy a little ILR lovin’.

8. The Crazy One: You’ve fucked in Ezra’s tunnel. You’ve fucked in the Olin stacks — at 1 p.m. She once tied you up and fed you shrooms before fucking, and even though it was unexpected, you kinda liked it. She wears you out, though, and you’re terrified of what’s going to happen when you try to break it off because you need time to study for your finals.

9. The “One”: You’ve finally found her: the one. Everything about her is exactly what you want. It’s only been one night with her, but you’ve already reserved Sage Chapel for the marriage. You text your best friend from home and tell her you think you’re in love. You walk around campus in a state of euphoria. You see her the next night, and right when you’re about to approach your bride-to-be, you notice she’s grinding with some dude wearing a Kobe jersey even though he’s probably never set foot in L.A. You’re crushed, but that’s the way it is sometimes.

10. The Girl: You fuck. Maybe you’ll do it again. Maybe you won’t. It’s sure fun to do, but you’re just a confused student who doesn’t know what he’s doing in life.

This is college, and you’re not supposed to know what’s going on. It’s about having fun, learning cool shit and experiencing new things, from the classroom to the bedroom.

Maybe you’ll only run into a few of them. Maybe you won’t run into any of them (and that’s okay, too). But be on the lookout, fellow Cornellians. The sun is out, the necklines are deep and the collegiate capacity for sex is, as always, unparalleled. So stop reading and get busy! This list ain’t gonna complete itself.

The Column You Didn’t Know You Needed

ello loyal readers, I’m back from my month-long literary hiatus. Hope you all have been having the best sex of your lives (or at least, for now). Here at Sex on Thursdays, we’re all about advice and funny experiences. Is it possible, however, that we’ve been overlooking key areas of sex? I mean there’s only so much that can be said on how to give a good blowjob or how threesomes are most exciting when the inevitable group highfive happens. So today, I shall be filling in the gaps (crude pun not-intended, but YOLO) and teaching you all how to fine-tune your romp.

Grinding, Not Just for People with Skill: We all know the art of conversation is dead and the only way to meet your future wife is by randomly grinding up on them.

Believe it or not, some people are uncomfortable with walking up to complete strangers and dry-humping them, and thus they lack proper technique. Here’s what you do: Make eye-contact. If she swarms in with all her girl friends, she obviously telling them, “Oh my god, girls!

There’s this total hottie checking me out over there, he’s all mine for the night!” Now you deftly stumble through a crowd of other guys on their own journey and initiate contact.

The rest is easy. The beat of the song is not necessary to know at all; remember grinding is just about moving left and right at your own choosing. And be sure to be just out of phase with her swaying — girls like guys who can follow, albeit slowly.

The Art of Sock-Removal: After your sweet dance moves have won each other over, you’re inevitably ending up back to the crib for three minutes of pleasure (or in my case, three and a half minutes. Helloooo ladies!). Everyone knows the most difficult part about sex is clothing removal. Guys have all those complex buttons, girls have Fort Knox holding the back of their bras together. But we all know the hardest part is below the waist. That’s right … the socks.

If girls are in heels, perfect. I didn’t have enough foot grime from outside of my sheets, anyways. If you have a nice pair of whites, however, you’re going to need some real Jedi shit to get those off. Beginners are going to have to deal with standing/laying down completely naked except for your feet, then realizing and having to awkwardly stop what is already such a smooth night. The skilled are capable of removing the socks along with your shoes, and the trained elite (such as myself ) can sneak them off with that little thumb trick at the same time as your pants. Try it while your roommates watch, because practice makes perfect and you’re going to want as much input as you can get.

Receiving Oral 101: Giving oral is a cakewalk — penises are easy enough to navigate and I only needed a diagram for the vagina the first, like, three times. It takes exceptional skill, however, to receive. Where do you put your hands? Do you moan or not? Your love-parts are center stage right now, so own it! Here’s what you do. You

have two options: 1) if the oral is good, then just lie there and let the natural noises come out — don’t force anything, and 2) if the oral is bad, then ignore your inner voice telling you to jump right to the sex and fake as many noises as humanly possible. When done, fist bump your partner and switch.

Bottom, the Most Difficult Position: At this point, you and your partner are no doubt turned on from this flawless foreplay. But that inevitable question comes into both your minds: Who should be on top when storming the castle? That’s right, not you! You’re the headline, not the opening act. Hell, Moby Dick has his own book and he doesn’t even show up until the last chapter. So start out on bottom and set the stage, but remember now is not your time. Feel free to grab, stroke and kiss whatever ever you want. Now’s the time for moans, dirty talk and a little reciprocal thrusting of your own. But don’t give the opening act too much action; like I said, you’re the headliner, so when it’s your time, get up there and own it.

Cuddling: I want you to cuddle your partner as hard as you can. Nuzzle and kiss the crap out of them, because you are one tender son of a bitch.

Now give yourself a high-five, because you are a sex machine.

Don’t Tell Me What Needs to Be Offensive to Me

t has been over a year since the Student Assembly passed a resolution to introduce a new Asian American Studies major. You can see the profound progress we’ve made on the Fall 2017 Class Roster, where you will find a whopping two classes listed under the department. If progress doesn’t come in the form of AAS 2100: South Asian Diaspora and AAS 2620: Introduction to Asian American Literature, I don’t know what does. The dearth of courses on the Asian diaspora in America represents a larger issue facing Asian Americans today. We are silenced by the dominant culture, and we refuse to be silenced any longer.

Asian Americans, despite comprising the most rapidly growing minority group in the United States, are essentially invisible in American race discourse. When slicing and dicing demographics in elections, pundits scrutinize the black and Hispanic vote while simultaneously ignoring issues pertinent to Asian American communities and people. Asians are also conspicuously underrepresented in positions of power; in the current 115th Congress, only 15 of the body’s 535 members are Asian. That’s only two percent of the United States’ top legislators — the officials who dictate the tone and the message of American political and racial discourse. As a result, it’s almost inevitable that our voices and concerns are drowned out by the bellowing voices of old white men. Much of this may be because Asians fall somewhere in between privilege and disprivilege; we are white

The dominant white culture dictates every facet of my being yellow in America and Cornell.

America’s “model minority.” We are reminded that the median household income for Asian families is significantly higher than that of other minority groups; however, this backhanded compliment overlooks the tremendous breadth and scope of Asian American diversity.

By extension, our concerns are overlooked in issues that are particularly pertinent to our communities, including immigration and access to health care.

We suffer not only disadvantage through policy, but also a societal oppression that deems us complacent and uncool. It was only five years ago that Ashton Kutcher appeared on our TVs, dressed in Brownface and imitating a Bollywood producer, and tried to sell us Popchips. Earlier this year, Steve Harvey had a memorable self-dialogue on national TV, in which he asked his crowd, “Do you like Asian men?” before promptly responding to his own question, “NO!” Though most Americans have become hyper-sensitive to issues on race, treatment towards Asian Americans has been painfully lagging.

Underrepresentation in the political sphere seems mild in comparison to the number of Asian figures in the media. Prominent roles for Asians on the big screen include, but are not limited to: IT specialist, taxi driver or the quant Ryan Gosling yells at in The Big Short.

Stereotypes and pop culture representations are symbols of the diminutive status that we hold in the larger American fabric.

Microagressions are irritating and a bit old by now, but they also distract us from larger conversations on structural and societal barriers that prevent Asian Americans from advancing into the future. Despite relative socioeconomic and professional success in this country, we are very much a racialized group. The dominant white culture dictates every facet of my being yellow in America and Cornell — whether it is in Greek life or my professional prospects, the racialization of Asian Americans has painted an expectation of me that is bland and onedimensional. Furthermore, by perpetuating the belief that Asian Americans fall into relative privilege, we ignore the growing population of marginalized subsets in the AAPI community. We are relatively inoffensive to white America, and by extension, our struggles and perspectives have gone unnoticed. Asian Americans bring forward centuries of eclectic cultures and backgrounds that can contribute to the national discourse.

Herein lies the beauty of the Asian American narrative; we are at a formative stage in our country’s history, one in which our generation can become the catalyst for profound reinvention of American society.

We have been unrecognized and unwelcome in the political discourse for far too long, and our silence should not be equated with indifference. It was heartening to see so many groups within the Cornell AAPI community back Jung Won Kim’s bid for SA presidency, but the work is far from complete. Be loud, be disruptive and let it be known that we are more than what white America tells us we are — we’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take this any more.

Putting a Price Tag On Quad Trees: Natural Capital, a Friend or Foe To Conservation?

he northern red oak that I walk past on my walk to Goldwin Smith every morning is worth 803 dollars across a 25 year period. Or, so Cornell has told me.

Last week, the multitude of trees that decorate the Arts Quad were clothed with blue ribbons and paper signs that read their economic worth in dollars across 25 years. The values, calculated using i-Tree, an online program developed by the U.S. Forest Service, are based primarily on measures of climate change mitigation: pounds of atmospheric carbon dioxide the trees sequester, gallons of storm water runoff the trees intercept and air quality improvements the trees provide.

The initiative, organized by a College of Agricultural and Life Sciences course associated with the Cornell Urban Horticulture Institute, appears as a celebration of trees and surely aims to inspire environmental consciousness among passerby.

When I first saw the arboraccolading tags and shiny blue ribbons, I was excited and impressed at the environmental enthusiasm gracing the Arts Quad. But, after my grin straightened, I began to wonder: are these celebratory price tags implicitly telling us to think of the environment as a commodity?

The tree tagging project falls under the domain of a controversial conservation phenomenon known as Ecosystem Services Valuation, which aims to estimate the monetary benefits human populations derive from ecosystem functions. The assessment of “natural capital” integrates environmental value into the economic.

Lending economic metrics to ecological entities may help to instigate conservation strides, by informing policy decisions and pricing goods according to the environmental exploitation involved in production. Further, green accounting initiatives that estimate corporate environmental externalities can be beneficial in educating consumer and marketaffiliate decisions.

Economists that prize ecosystem valuation as a conservation tool argue that it is a necessary response to the inherent environmental evaluations ingrained in society’s exploitative consumer, industrial, infrastructural and agricultural practices. While the commodification of the ecologi-

cal may be a virus of our cultural mainstream, in pursuing change, must we work within the capitalistic system that led to our environmental downfall? Should we engage our captor in fighting for freedom?

While the project on the Arts Quad only evaluates about 80 sidewalk trees, it works to promote a dangerous enviro-economic lens. Ecosystem services valuations insinuate a notion of an economic balancing scale. In policy, natural capital assessments of ecosystems may be measured against market revenue profit.

The direct economic outputs of a fracking program may be greater than the capital valuations

dynamic and ignores the existence of our 8.7 million species cohabitants. What kind of monetary benefit do the squirrels and robins that nest in the oak’s muscular brown branches gain from the tree? It wasn’t plotted on the poster’s graph.

The misled conservation tactic that the Arts Quad tree tags champion may turn our attention away from the construction on the Agriculture Quad that is using an immense amount of energy and natural resources to plant rain-runoff-impervious concrete onto a once tree-laden, grass lawn. Though new trees will ultimately be planted on the Ag Quad, I find myself thinking of the construction as a microcosm of agricultural expansion, a global phenomenon that engenders threats of energy exploitation, pollution and ecosystem disruption.

Though it may serve to inspire a form of environmental appreciation, the valuation of the Arts Quad’s trees represents a controversial approach to conservation that must be engaged cautiously and critically. However subtle, the tree price tags may impact the way in which Cornell’s future professionals of the business, legislative, agricultural academic, architectural, and technological fields, engage with and prioritize environmental conservation.

While natural capital assessment will likely be incorporated in global conservation initiatives, having already gained significant momentum, I think it is imperative that we begin to work towards a cultural shift whereby we view the environment as a priority separate from our economic growth. A graph schematic of variables and growth curves may seem functional, but we must approach conservation from a position that distances us from the very economic institutions that led us to this global state of environmental calamity.

As we enter an era of environmental reform and engage with ecosystem valuation, we must question whether a price tag can represent an ecosystem’s worth and how we can make changes to human-ecosystem dynamics that can’t be plotted on a curve.

What kind of monetary benefit do the squirrels and robins that nest in the oak’s muscular brown branches gain from the tree? It wasn’t plotted on the poster’s graph. assigned to the ecosystems it threatens. Ecosystem services valuations plot ecology onto a timelimited graph that disregards the environment’s intrinsic value and pan-generational indispensability.

How can the worth of natural resources be estimated when their perpetual presence drives the propagation of our futurity?

The values of our ecosystems are infinite across time because they are necessary for the propulsion of humanity. In the same way that a human’s existence, that encompasses the possibility for reproduction, cannot be economically quantified, the ecological entities that support life cannot be reduced to dollar signs.

As humans continue to push the biophysical boundaries of energy and material consumption, the “stock” of natural resources rapidly dwindles.

Economic valuations of environmental entities, like trees, will rise as carbon emissions escalate and weather calamities rise with the changing climate.

Can we assign static estimates to entities that sit at the foundation of our ecological survival?

Are the benefits that we reap from ecosystems as linear as the tree poster graphs proclaim?

To whom is the red oak worth 803 dollars? The economic valuation of ecosystems in conservation strategy is fundamentally anthropocentric, in that it focuses solely on the human-ecosystem

CoreLife: The Healthy Eatery We’ve All Been Waiting For

By CHELSEA LEEDS Sun Contributor

C

oreLife Eatery, the healthy fast casual restaurant spot that has been highly anticipated by Cornell students and other members of the Ithaca community, finally opens to the public on Friday. With so much excitement and hype surrounding its opening, I could not wait for the opportunity to try one of their carefully curated green, grain, or broth bowls during their preview days this week.

I enjoyed my experience from the time I walked through the door up until the moment I left. Since it was opening week, there were many CoreLife Eatery representatives and team members on standby to answer any questions I had about the menu, beverages and order process. I even got the chance to speak with one of the founders of CoreLife Eatery, Todd Mansfield, who describes the concept as “a fast casual restaurant that offers scratch-made dressings, falafel, hummus, homemade beef and chicken bone broth.”

All employees were extremely helpful, making the ordering process, which felt slightly overwhelming and daunting upon first glance, approachable and easy. I didn’t feel rushed at all as I made my way through the line and debated what to add to my shiitake mushroom and roasted tofu broth bowl, which consisted of a vegetable broth, shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, shredded kale, roasted tofu, sprouts, ginger, lemongrass and sliced almonds. This specific broth bowl is one of the six soup options they offer, ranging from grilled chicken tortilla to tomato and basil. Many of the bowls have been curated by Scott Davis, one of the other founders of CoreLife, who spent 20 years at Panera Bread as their Chief Concept Officer. However, if none of the broth bowl combinations offered catch your eye, you are encouraged to created your own by simply adding a broth (vegetable, beef or chicken) to any combination of vegetables, grains and proteins you choose.

After a long deliberation, I decided to add quinoa to my broth

bowl and to get an extra scoop of tofu, turning my bowl from a “big bowl” with full protein into a “big bowl” with double protein. As I made my way down the assembly line, stationed employees confirmed that I wanted the standard ingredients that make up the shiitake and tofu bowl. While I decided upon ordering a broth bowl, you can also have the same toppings, but with a salad or grain base; the options are endless.

After adding all my desired components into the bowl, I watched the next team member in line steam the raw vegetables before adding the vegetable broth.

The steaming machine they have is definitely an attraction unique to the restaurant. It allows employees to cook quickly any raw vegetables they have on the line, so my meal was made fresh and right in front of my eyes. The friend I was with took advantage of this option and turned her personally curated salad into a mixture of steamed vegetables.

After making my way past the steamer, I was offered a piece of bread (the only item at the eatery

containing gluten) prior to checking out. I was then faced with multiple options of handcrafted beverages including beet lemonade, tropical green tea, blueberry mint lemonade, cold brew coffee and ceylon black tea. A few of the offerings, such as the blueberry lemonade, will be changed seasonally.

The nearby team member encouraged me to try as many as I’d like before choosing (which was amazing!). In the mood for something light and refreshing, I got the ceylon black tea, and I helped myself to a refill on my way out. I will definitely be returning to CoreLife Eatery, and I think it is a great

addition to Ithaca. The prices were completely reasonable, less than what one would pay for a salad at Mac’s, an important factor for college students. Additionally, it fills a unique void by offering food that is fast, healthy and delicious.

TheValue and Values of French Cuisine

hen the French cook, they read from recipes written in invisible ink.

Their culinary creations are much more elaborate, much richer (and not just in butter content) than what is written on the page. Their foods — and their eating practices — seem to be infused with their values, their traditions, their beliefs about humanity, themselves.

In eating French food, I’ve tasted a value for practicality, for economy. When invited to a dinner party, my host mom instructed me to ask the host what you should bring to ensure you don't bring something he/she is already making. It would be tragic, for example, to have two desserts, because then only one could be

eaten and that would make for gaspillage: waste. (“Couldn't you just eat both desserts?” I asked. My host mom furrowed her brow.

Clearly not.) Better to bring a bottle of wine or champagne, she advised, that could be opened on another occasion if the host is already serving another drink or serving a kind of food that doesn't pair well with the drink. She requires that her sons finish everything on their plates before leaving the table; she used my eggs that were about to expire and bought new ones for me, rather than letting mine go to waste. And it’s not

just food wastage that is avoided — it’s electricity, gas, water. I’ve been chastised for leaving the heat on after leaving the apartment.

I’ve been surprised to find the rare ice cubes in my drinks, as they guzzle unnecessary electricity, according to the French.

Perhaps as a consequence of this prudence, I’ve tasted an acceptance and a normalisation of the body — the entire body. I've ordered a salade aux crevettes (shrimp salad) to find a full-fledged shrimp (whiskers, legs, and eyeballs) swimming on my plate. It’s not uncommon to come eye to eye with what you’re about to eat; the act of eating an animal isn’t disguised in purées or patties. And it’s nothing shocking to serve up all different parts of the animal or all different kinds of animals. I’ve seen intestines, tête d’agneau (lamb’s head) and tongue on a menu. One night, my host mom asked what exotic foods I've eaten, and after racking my brain to come up with

escargot and squid ink pasta, she rattled off an extensive list of her own: horse, zebra, antelope, sea urchin, turtle... The stigma around eating cute, cuddly critters or romanticized species isn’t such a stigma here. One animal’s body merits a meal just as much as that of any other. This acceptance and normalization of animal bodies extends to the human body, as evidenced in the scantily clad women fronting magazines on streetside kiosks, in French people’s confusion about why Facebook automatically censors nude pictures, in the social acceptability of men wearing tight pants. For the French, the body just is, in its human and animal forms.

I’ve tasted a value for precision.

While teaching my host family how to make chocolate chip cookies one afternoon, my host mom broke out a cooking scale to measure the weights of the ingredients.

When my 10-year-old host brother accidentally dumped 92 grams of sugar — a whopping two grams more than the recipe called for — into the bowl, my host mom grabbed a spoon to scrape out the imposing two grams. And when the sticky dough was ready to be spooned onto the baking sheet, my host brother quizzically asked, “There's no mold?” Expecting an American equivalent of a madeleine pan, a shape to fill, a standard to conform to, he couldn’t believe that the blind indulgence of a chocolate chip cookie could be so careless.

Through their cooking practices, the French express their value for exactitude, for uniformity and order.

I've tasted the importance of food towards social bonding. My study abroad program assigned us college-aged Parisian correspon-

dantes, and one night they invited us to one of their apartments for a party. Accustomed to American college party refreshments (i.e., usually nothing more than a few packs of stale Doritos), I was amused to find a thoughtful assortment of snacks spread across the counter: a bowl of Haribo gummies, a vat of potato chips, several tubs of pretzels and a tarte aux pommes (apple pie). It seems that, not only amongst the classier ranks of society, but across all ages and occasions, food is a staple at any social gathering, a symbol of hospitality and celebration.

Whereas in the U.S., food is a facilitator of friendship but not a requirement, in France, food is what makes a social gathering a social gathering.

Beyond revealing French values, these encounters have served as a point of contrast to my American ones. In becoming aware of the French concern for conservation, for example, I have become aware of my own wastage. In realizing the French normalization of the body, I’ve realized my own squeamishness.

In appreciating how the French value precision, I’ve realized my own appreciation of individuality.

But in finding that food serves a social function in France, just as it does in the U.S., I have felt more similar than different from the French. Our shared understanding of the importance of food in bringing people together brings us together. You don’t even have to speak French to understand what it means to receive a lemon poppy seed cake when you first arrive in France.

Money Out of Misery: Colbert's Comeback

t became a cliché during the primaries and the general election that Donald Trump had stumped comedians. He was too outlandish, too unpredictable, too unreal to mock. Any absurdity that a comedian could dream up and then deliver in a Trumpian drawl would be outdone the next day, by Trump himself. Since mockery didn’t really work, some shows like SNL and Jimmy Fallon resorted to flattery, inviting Trump on their shows and allowing him to appear as something like a standard, self-aware candidate.

It was during this period that Stephen Colbert became host of the The Late Show, following the end of David Letterman’s 33-year reign. Colbert had left behind the overblown caricature of a conservative pundit that he had played for years on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report — a character also called “Stephen Colbert” — and he was struggling to find his footing on the new show. He was a familiar face, but no longer a familiar personality. After years of cultivating an audience that expected sharp-edged, unrelenting irony, he had to figure out how to sell himself without a smirk.

It didn’t work, and his ratings were beginning to call his job stability into question. The turning point was election night, when Colbert performed a live show, surely expecting a Clinton victory. As it became clear that Trump was going to win, Colbert stopped trying to deliver jokes and instead communicated his confusion and anxiety. He ended with a powerful monologue about political polarization, and the toxicity of feeling morally superior to Despite All the others.

Since the Amputations election, Colbert has found his element, once again as a furious satirist. He is at his best when tackling topics that are both monumentally important and deeply absurd. He is getting plenty of material, from Sean Spicer’s garbled equivocations to Trump’s improvisational interviews to the stumbling administration itself. The new Colbert is a disillusioned believer in the American Dream, someone

who has not completely let go of his vision of the country, even though that country is letting him down in new, more hateful and more surreal ways each day. And his disappointment has granted a new power to his monologues — he is relevant in a way he hasn’t been in years, even during The Colbert Report.

More and more people are coming to him to try to understand what is happening to their country.

So Trump’s victory was, in a way, an enormous gift to Colbert. It’s hard to imagine Colbert flourishing in the same way under a Clinton presidency because Colbert needs a villain to confront, not a vaguely compromised antihero. Some critics have presented an ungenerous way to read his comeback. In this narrative, Colbert takes advantage of a nation spiralling out of control and away from its most sacred beliefs, using the anxiety of this moment as a springboard to vault himself back into the spotlight, as a crusader against the very immorality that is granting his career a second life.

Colbert is certainly aware of the dependence of his success on upheaval and chaos.

In a recent segment about Trump’s first 100 days, Colbert mocks the administration’s inability to follow through on its promises, and concludes, “I gotta say, Donald Trump has done a lot for me in the first 100 days.” He grins impishly, salutes and points at the camera: “Thank you for your service, Mr. President.” Then he shakes his arms around, laughs and says, “Aaaand now I feel dirty.”

And does he? Even if Colbert has won the late-night

Ulver The Assassination of Julius Ceaser House of Mythology

O

Nathan Chazan “The most hunted/Body of the modern age/Flowers crown her head/Ancient goddess of the moon” So purrs lead vocalist Kristoffer Rygg on “Nemoralia”, the opening track of The Assassination of Julius Caesar. The track is named after the Roman festival celebrating the goddess Diana, syncretized here with Diana, Princess of Wales. The contrast of Princess Di’s famously untimely demise with the ancient immortality of the gods creates a troubling contradiction – if celebrities are our new deities, what does it mean that those we have imbued with godhood also die?

Ulver, a Norwegian experimental band whose genre-defying catalog has ranged from black metal to electronica and even opera, has declared their latest to be their “pop album.” Indeed the eight tracks which compose The Assassination of Julius Caesar have an immediate appeal akin to pop, a

war, at least for now, by figuring out (belatedly) how to effectively make fun of Trump, he still shows telltale signs of discomfort. In the same first 100 days segment, Colbert quotes an interview in which Trump says that his ratings on CBS’s Face the Nation were, “The highest since the World Trade Center came down.” Colbert adds, in his Trump voice, “We’re blowing up. Bigger than anything since Nagasaki.” When the audience audibly cringes, Colbert grins sheepishly and explains, this time without the accent, “Again, I’m modeling the behavior of another person! This is not me speaking!”

It’s a fascinating moment, and one that speaks to Colbert’s awareness of his complicated position. His job hinges on making humor out of horrible things being done by horrible people, and part of that job often includes impersonating them. It’s a dirty business and he doesn’t execute it perfectly. But, if an entertainer is going to profit off of this moment, I would say we are lucky to have someone as thoughtful and incisive as Stephen Colbert to be making money out of misery.

pulsating, polished immediacy given menacing depth, a more baroque version of the glamorous anguish found in the music of popular artists such as, say, Rihanna or Drake. The Assassination is as immersive and intense, each song a perfectly realized expression rich in aural detail.

Throughout The Assassination of Julius Caesar, the grandiose imagery we associate with Rome and its decline(s) mingles with the rot and wonder of pop culture. The shoegaze track “1969” melds pleasant retro imagery with evocations of the Manson murders, Rosemary’s Baby and satanism, while “Southern Gothic” mourns the emotional tragedy of trying to speak to someone “in a dead language.” Decay and doom seem to constantly threaten, yet apocalyptic visions are never realised, muted by foggy memory and ethereal synth hooks.

With this schizophrenic, elliptical evocation of history and the dark nostalgia of electronic music,

Ulver creates a space where events recur and collapse into each other, an infinity of loss.

The real assassination of Julius Caesar was far from the end of Rome — indeed, the city’s dominion over the classical world would not even reach its peak for over a hundred years (depending on your metric), let alone fall. Following a long and grueling period of civil war, the triumphant Augustus declared Caesar a deity, just as Ulver now declare Princess Di to be Diana. Historical recursions are sinister, but as pop music they become transcendent, the suffering state of humanity given harmony. Many secrets remain tucked away in The Assassination’s forty-odd minutes, but as we poke around the album’s dark recesses we may just find catharsis.

The Big Me and the Importance of Character The Road to Character by David Brooks is not your average “self-help,” “life coaching” type of book. It is a rich and profound critique of our cultural orientation towards narcissism and the “I.” The book describes this more plainly as the culture of “the Big Me.” Brooks’s thesis focuses on how the dismal shift of Western culture towards “the Big Me” has nullified our notions of character from attaining any substantiality. The beginning of the book illustrates this thesis by identifying two antithetical relationships. One of them highlights the difference between “eulogy virtues” and “resume virtues” and the other being the contestation between “Adam I” and “Adam II.” These relationships become emblematic of the greater conflicts unpacked in the book. First, he says that “resume virtues” are known as the constructive skills an individual can bring to the marketplace. They are the virtues you put on your resume, whether it be proficiency in Microsoft Office or your GPA. Your “eulogy virtues,” though, are far more profound. They are the virtues you will be remembered by. Were you loving or hateful? Humble or brash? Honest or deceitful? Brooks uses the natures of Adam I and Adam II, which were

first produced by J e w i s h philosopher Joseph Soloveitchik, as the corresponding symbols to these two contesting virtues.

B r o o k s describes Adam I as the economic element to our nature.

He is driven by the profit and success motives. He is the producer, innovator, creator and m a x i m i z e r.

Adam II adheres to moral principles. He is the lover, the redeemer — he sacrifices, understands self-mastery and self-discipline.

O n c e Brooks presents his thesis, he applies it by conducting an in-depth analysis of the lives of historical figures, who haven’t necessarily achieved “the perfect c h a r a c t e r, ” but have been able to nurture their Adam II enough to outpace the overly ambitious Adam I. The figures Brooks examines include Frances COURTESY OF RANDOM HOUSE PUBLISHING Perkins, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Dorothy Day, George Marshall, civil rights leaders A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, novelist

George Eliot and her husband George Lewes. The list does not end there, as he also explores the lives of St. Augustine, Samuel Johnson, Michel de Montaigne, Johnny Unitas and Joe Namath. An extremely diverse group, yet bound together by their uncanny ability to face and defeat internal struggle, or rise higher after losing a few battles on the way.

There is no guarantee that The Road to Character will induce the reader to a moral rebirth. It will not push you to reach a state of exaltation, as it analyzes the masses with contempt, primarily for their lack of character. Instead it attempts to catalyze the adverse effect. It forces the reader to break from the shackles of “I” and begin to look for the power behind “us” and “we”; not in the Marxist sense but in the spirit of moral fortitude. Individuality is the essence of identity, but without discipline it can overtake the better sides of human nature. At times the excessive emphasis on “resume virtues” and the “I” insulates people from empathizing with others, in turn leaving them to bathe in a silent sorrow of selfishness.

Psycho as Not-so-Scary Video Art I often wonder why people pay money to spin around in a teacup or turn upside down on a rollercoaster. Why willfully commit yourself to nausea and headaches when your feet can stay put on the ground?

You say fun; I say torture. I approach horror cinema with the same skepticism. Why open your eyes to nightmares when nothing so scary need occupy your mind? In his creation of Psycho, the definitive psychological thriller, director Alfred Hitchcock upholds my selective frugality. Hitchcock filmed the horror story with a surprisingly low budget, even for the 1960s. He used television cameras rather than a film crew and opted for gray scale quality depictions. He invested little money in scaring his audiences. This Friday, Cornell Cinema screens the film for just $5. At that price — with “the greatest film of all time” promise added at no extra charge — Psycho is money well spent, even for the wimpiest Fun-Park attendee.

Marion Crane, played by Hollywood starlet Janet Leigh, steals $40,000 from her boss so that she can run away with her bankrupt boyfriend. She falls victim first to her senseless love, and second, to a psychopathic murderer. In order to break from the nauseating insanity, I encourage viewers to grab onto a side rail on that spinning teacup and look past the superficial terror. Hitchcock invested in a television crew, not a horror movie enterprise. His film foregrounds the medium, not the genre. Psycho plays with video as a mech- iconography and mass media, created a pressure cookanism for presentation and as a mode of expression. By er of expectation and reality.

solves in Norman’s character and representational confusion enters a violent realm. His character plays with video’s distortion of the here and now and the there and then. He both confounds the past into the present and convinces himself of an alternative reality.

Through Norman, Hitchcock shows how video practice bridges on insanity. He questions where acting and impersonation become mental derangement. He asks his audiences: how far can we extend cinematic metaphors into our real lives?

Hitchcock’s Psycho draws viewers into the Tilt-aWhirl. Audiences feel Marion’s distress, her fear, her longing, her guilt and her regret. And at the same time, viewers feel real fear. As the infamous shower scene plays across the screen, you’ll jump at the creaking of your neighbor’s chair. At least for a moment, the screen becomes an emotional reality. Hitchcock involves the viewer in the confusion of the present now and the pre-recorded then, the mirrored self and the imagistic self, the tangible fear and the imagined danger. The resulting horror film becomes not so much scary or nauseating as thought provoking and video critical. It’s the kind of amusement ride I could get used to, not for its amusement but for its psychoanalysis. Psycho’s spinning confusion provides less of a headache and more of a mental challenge.

EQUESTRIAN

Equestrian Wins 8th Ivy League Championship

By CAITLIN STANTON Sun Staff Writer

Two weeks ago, the women of the Cornell equestrian team were strong but disheartened. They had just competed at Zones and missed the qualifying place for Nationals later this May, despite what they deemed a solid showing. Their only qualm with their performance had been the tiny slip-ups they had made in several events, slip-ups that had prevented them from claiming top finishes in those events, and eventually, led them to finish third.

good effort went into it, so it was kind of good to not make redemption,” said senior Claira Seely. “Our team is really powerful and we get along really well, so it was nice to kind of have that show through, and, you know, win Ivies.”

Seely may have sounded casual, but Cornell’s riders were anything but. This was the program’s eighth overall title, a nice tally to add under their belt as a team. In addition to the overall win, five riders won individual championships, including senior and co-captain Victoria Whitworth, who left as the High Point Rider with two individual titles in Open Fences and Open Flat.

Redemption | Two weeks ago, the Red missed qualifying for Nationals. But on Monday, the team bounced back and won the Ivy League Championships.

Yesterday’s tournament told a different story. The Red hosted the Ivy League Championships and clinched the entire showing by finishing with a perfect score to claim the championship title.

“It was a really great way to end the year for the majority of the team,” said head coach Joanna Novakovic ‘03. “It was also my birthday, so it was probably the best birthday gift they could give me.”

Cornell was definitely in a celebratory mood after their showing on Sunday, especially after having all of their high point riders win their events “It was a lot of fun — a lot of good teamwork and

The perfect example to showcase Cornell’s dominating performances was Open Fences, where Whitworth took first place, junior Molly O’Shea took second as the Reserve Champion and senior Carlee Roberts took third.

Not only did they manage to secure titles for all events, they grabbed top finishes in those events as well.

“I think everyone just had great attitudes going into it,” said senior Nicole Zitzmann. “We were really excited, and I think it really showed because we had a perfect score … which is basically unheard of, so it was really great and everyone worked so hard. It was a really great culmination for everything.”

Zitzmann had one of the team’s championship rides, specifically in Novice Fences. Alongside her and Whitworth were sophomore Vaughan Shanley in Intermediate Fences, Seely in Intermediate Flat and sophomore Madeline Kinnear in Walk Trot.

Senior Lauren Jaquay earned second place and Reserve Champion in Intermediate Flat. For the Walk Trot Canter event, four of Cornell’s women competed, with freshman Callie Boozer claiming third, sophomore Laura Vasquez-Bolanos taking the fourth position, freshman Kate Wagner winning for fifth and freshman Stephanie Introne placing sixth after riding in their individual sections. Junior Megan He and freshman Mariam Khan took third place for Intermediate Fences and Walk Trot, respectively.

“Yesterday, we were pretty much untouchable,” Coach Novakovic said. “We won every single class with our point riders, which is a pretty impressive thing to do, and the Dartmouth coach told me that that’s only happened a few times in the 20 years of the Ivy League Championships, so that felt pretty good.”

This tournament was the last ride for nearly a third of the team, including Zitzmann.

“Everyone was definitely on top of their game,” Zitzmann said. “There’s also … 11 of us [seniors] and it’s the end of the road for most of us also, so I think we really wanted to get that last great showing in before graduation. I think that everything just came together so well.”

Out of the 33 members of the team, 11 are seniors.

With the exception of Amanda Ko, who will be riding as an individual for Nationals in May, this weekend’s championship was these seniors’ last competition as part of the Red. “Everybody was in a really good mood, and it was just a nice way to finish out my IHSA career,” Seely said. “I think our team has a really good culture. My senior class is certainly very big and has a prominent presence in the overall team, but I think skill-wise and personality-wise and everything, [the team will] all still do really really well. Our team has a good foundation.”

With the season finally coming to a close, only Seely, Ko and Vasquez-Bolanos will be able to ride again this year at the IHSA National Championships. Regular team practice is over, and the focus is on these specific people to bring home yet another win for the Cornell program.

Coach Novakovic detailed a little bit about the riders’ training for the next few weeks in anticipation for Nationals.

“They can basically do as much riding and take as many lessons as they feel like they need to in this next week,” she said. “It’s really just putting the finishing touches on because they’re already great and they’re know how to win.”

Nationals will be held from May 4 to 7 in Lexington, Ky. Caitlin Stanton can be reached at cstanton@cornellsun.com.

Red Hopes to Contain Dominant Tiger Offense M. LACROSSE

In addition, Princeton has three players with 50 points for the season, including freshman standout Michael Sowers, who has 70. Sowers’ mark broke Cornellian Rob Pannell’s ’13 Ivy League record for points by a rookie.

The Tigers also have some standouts on the defensive side of the ball, such as junior goalie Tyler Blasidell, who ranks fifth in the nation in saves per game.

One area that Princeton does struggle in, however, is in faceoffs, winning only 47.8 percent of the chances. While Cornell also struggles more in this category — winning only 36.7 percent — head coach Matt Kerwick knows that Cornell will have to exploit Princeton’s weaknesses to get the win.

“We have to do a better job at the faceoff [circle]. It’s been a struggle for us all year, and we’ve got to battle and scrap for those,” Kerwick said. “We have to keep as many possessions our way as we can. They’re very efficient as a shooting team, one of the better shooting teams in the country, so we’re going to have to

limit those opportunities.”

Saturday’s game will feature two of the best-performing freshmen in the country in Sowers and Cornell’s Jeff Teat. Both Sowers and Teat were placed on Inside Lacrosse’s 2017 Midseason DI Freshman Rankings at No. 1 and No. 3, respectively.

In addition, Sowers and Teat rank third and eighth in the country in points per game, and fourth and fifth for assists in the country, respectively. Amongst freshmen, Sowers ranks No. 1 and Teat ranks No. 2 in the country in both categories.

Though the freshmen are poised to be the standouts, and while Cornell has nothing tangible to gain from this game, the team is looking to send the eight seniors out the right way after a tough season. But Kerwick made sure to stress not letting the emotions get in the way of Saturday’s performance.

“We recognize those guys Monday at practice, we had them stand in front of the team and we made a vow to each other that we’re going to play our best for those seniors because they’ve done a lot for this program,” Kerwick said. “[But] I

just want us to play our best, the Senior Day stuff is something we recognize after the game.”

For the seniors, it has been an emotional week leading up to the game.

“I was sad after the Brown game. It’s tough, a bit surreal, [that] Saturday’s our last game,” Peters said. “But I’ve been telling myself that I can’t be sad for the last game, I have o appreciate the great times, the great memories I’ve had at Schoellkopf, and be happy about that.”

One special circumstance in the senior class is in the case of goalie Christian Knight, who missed all of last season due to injury. As a result, Knight has another year of eligibility, and told The Sun that he is “working on getting [his] fifth year to play here next year.”

Nevertheless, Knight wants to make his last game with his class a special one.

“It is the last time that I get to play with the guys in my class, the guys that I’ve spent the last four years with,” he said. “[Senior day] is a really special day, and just because I have another year doesn’t mean much. I still want to make it a special day for all the seniors that

Laxers Prepare for Senior Day Double-Header WOMEN’S LACROSSE

Women welcome Harvard to open lacrosse-filled Saturday

By MARY BARGER Sun Staff Writer

The Cornell women’s lacrosse team heads into its final competition of the regular season this Saturday where it will host Harvard at Schoellkopf Field.

Despite already clinching a spot in postseason play, the team is using the season finale to prepare itself for the Ivy League tournament.

“The main focus heading into the final regular season game is to continue to get better and improve on past games so we head into the postseason strong and confident,” said senior co-captain Kristy Gilbert.

The Red (10-4, 5-1 Ivy) is coming off of its first IvyLeague loss of the season, coming up just short to Princeton. In a hard-fought, gritty battle, the Tigers scored in the final five seconds to edge out the Red 1211.

Harvard (8-6, 4-2 Ivy) is also looking to rebound from an Ivy-League loss, having fallen to Penn 13-10 for the Crimson’s second conference loss of the season.

Cornell faced Penn earlier in the season and came away with a 10-4 victory. While this circle may give the Red some extra confidence, the team will certainly not underestimate Harvard’s skill.

“Harvard is a talented and well-coached team,” said head coach Jenny Graap ‘86. “They have an explosive offense with multiple scoring threats and an aggressive zone defense. We know that we must execute on both ends of the field in order to win this game.”

This weekend’s conference games will determine the seedings for the Ivy League championship tournament,
