Dryden South Development To Break Ground in June

By RYAN HUMPHREY Sun Staff Writer

Construction of Dryden South — the mixeduse building planned for 205 Dryden Ave. — is set to begin June 1 and will last approximately one year, according to Pat Kraft, owner of Kraftees book store.

Kraft said he expects the demolition of the current building to take “probably one day.”

Make space | A rendering depicts Dryden South, a mixed-use building which will house the Kraftees book store, as well as apartments.

Construction on the current Kraftees site will begin June 1 and is slated for completion next summer.

“It will go from nothing happening to a lot happening in a very short period of time after graduation,” Kraft said. “I’m hoping by September that the building is substantially off of the ground and that will attract the interest of the students. I know the rental season in September is very competitive.”

The planned development will host a redesigned Kraftees store on the first floor and four floors of housing above, according to Kraft.

Each floor will feature two four-bedroom suites, which will contain a kitchen, two full bedrooms and a family room. The building’s basement will also include laundry rooms, bike storage and a fitness center.

BOSTON (AP) — A Tennessee woman searching for the stranger she kissed while running the Boston Marathon this year says she finally heard back — from the mystery man’s wife.

Barbara Tatge says her daughter had dared her to kiss a random, good-looking man as she ran through the town of Wellesley, where the women of Wellesley College traditionally offer kisses to runners.

After the April 20 race, her daughter took to social media to try to find the man, who clearly left an impression on her mom.

Tatge says The Wellesley Townsman, a Boston-area news outlet, passed on a letter addressed to her Sunday after the campaign generated nationwide attention.

The unidentified man’s wife said the attention was fun but that the couple wanted to remain anonymous.

“When this story aired on the news we were pretty surprised,” the mystery man’s wife wrote in a portion of the letter quoted by The Townsman. “For me, I’m not mad. Believe me, our friends have gotten a lot of mileage out of this story and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them give my husband grief!”

Tatge says she wrote back to the wife Monday, thanking her for her graciousness and good humor.

“The letter was so kind and good-hearted,” she said.

Tatge also apologized for any embarrassment the search may have caused.

“I just wanted her to know that the media firestorm stemmed from my loving daughter’s good-hearted dare," she said. “I didn’t want to cause any discomfort to him or his family.”

Prof.Huiju Park: Engineering Better,Smarter Clothing

By CHRISTOPHER BYRNS Sun Staff Writer

For Prof. Huiju Park, fiber science and apparel design, designing clothes means more than creating appealing garments — it means creating “smart clothing” that incorporates technology to solve larger problems.

Park said he first became interested in clothing design during high school after watching fashion shows on television.

Park, who said he overcame several obstacles to study and teach fashion design, aims to improve the wellbeing of humans through aesthetically appealing, but also smartly designed, clothing.

Born to a relatively poor family in South Korea, Park said his family faced difficult times in the midst of the nation’s economic crisis in the late 1990s.

“During that time, my father lost a job, my mother went bankrupt, and our family was just scattered,” Park said. “We even lost our house. I did not have a place to live, so I lived in a church member’s house for three years.”

Meanwhile, Park said he was also studying for a bachelor’s degree, and later a master’s, in Clothing and Textiles at Yonsei University. He recounted the daily challenges he faced trying to get an education while struggling financially.

“I often had to skip lunch because I did not have much money, and my family income was not sufficient to support my graduate education,” Park said.

“I thought, ‘My dream is gone, just completely broken.’ I was just struggling [so much] with my family’s

financial crisis ... I even experienced emotional depression.”

However, a few years after earning his masters degree, Park said he found the motivation to continue studying after a high school friend leaving South Korea to earn a Ph.D. in the United States told Park about financial aid.

“He said, ‘I know your situation, you are struggling, but if you are qualified, there may be chances to get a fellowship or a scholarship,’” Park said. “So from that day on, I began attending an early morning English class before I went to work, to prepare for the TOEFL.” As he worked as a product manager for the sportswear company Puma, Park said he studied for the standardized English proficiency test. After two years, Park was accepted to study functional apparel design at Oklahoma State University.

“On July 31, 2007 — I still remember the date — I actually took my first step in the United States in Oklahoma,” Park said. “My wife and I landed at the Oklahoma City Airport, and it was such a touching moment.”

At Oklahoma State University, Park said he worked with his advisor to design clothing for sol-

careers helping their own future communities.”

The Cornell Student United Way, co-led by Coleman and Elizabeth Joyce ’16, raised over $27,000 this year through on-campus activities like the Duff Ball. They also held A Cappella United, an annual event that brings together all of Cornell’s a cappella groups for one large performance.

President David Skorton and Cornell University were also honored at the breakfast.

Skorton received a Key Contributor Award for providing leadership and aid to UWTC campaign. Murphy accepted the award on Skorton’s behalf.

Coleman said the work of United Way has been instrumental in shaping his college experience.

“I am graduating in the coming weeks and I can say without question my work with the United Way is what I am most proud of in my time here,” Coleman said. “It is an organization made up of the best people in the community coming together to do good.”

For the 11th year in a row, the United Way of Tompkins County exceeded its annual goal. This year, the organization raised a total of $2,155,335.

Cornell’s United Way Campaign raised approximately 36 percent of the total campaign revenue, according to the United Way. Ithaca College also raised over $45,000.

On April 28, volunteers and donors gathered to celebrate the end of the campaign at a celebratory breakfast.

At the breakfast, Cornell Student United Way Co-chair Sam Coleman ’15 accepted the GIVE Promising Practice Award from United Way Worldwide for the success of Cornell Student United Way’s fundraising.

“I can’t stress how much of an honor it was to accept the UWW GIVE award on behalf the United Way Student Campaign,” Coleman said.

“The award reflects the efforts of a number of Cornellians and Ithacans coming together to achieve something truly great. Our campaign donates a large portion of our money to programs Molly Karr can be reached at helping prepare students in the community for mkarr@cornellsun.com.

diers in the United States Army and Navy who were serving in the Iraq War. Park himself served three years as a Lieutenant in the Korean Army after receiving his bachelors degree and said he believed he could “help protect our young people who volunteer to be the front line of the war for their country” through high-tech clothing design. “[My advisor’s] research was just fascinating to me,” Park said. “What she was doing was exactly what I wanted to do through clothing design, through incorporation of new technology in clothing design. I thought I could directly help first responders and other people who are serving for our communities.”

Since then, Park said his research interests have grown to include clothing for first responders of other challenging situations. Since his arrival at Cornell in 2011, Park said he has researched and designed more flexible clothing for firefighters and cooler clothing for Ebola responders.

“I worked with firefighters in Ithaca for a couple of years. What I did at Cornell was to evaluate how their body movement changes depending on the garment configuration,” Park said. “Another thing I am very excited about is the Ebola protective clothing …

What I am doing is providing some cooling in Ebola protective clothing.”

Park said he believes clothing is not just “something you put on to cover your body.” He envisions a future where the boundaries between clothing and technology blur.

“In the future, clothing will be more intelligent and will enhance human performance as another layer or extended part of the human body — that is what I believe,” Park said. “Clothing will become a wearable interface to interact with the outside world.”

Park said he feels optimistic about the future and that the lessons he has learned in the past will help guide him forward as a professor.

“The three things I’ve learned as a Cornell faculty member are to be creative, be open minded to collaborators opinion and lastly [to have] fortitude,” Park said. “If you go through that thin layer of fear and uncertainty, you will see something clear later.”

National Science Foundation Awards $5.5 Million Grant for Rice Research Cornell researchers received a $5.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation to use genome editing techniques to improve rice cultivation on Friday.

Genome editing is a process by researchers can alter an organism’s DNA. Cornell researchers will use this grant to “focus on such quantitative traits in rice as disease resistance and tolerance to acidic soils,” according to a University press release.

“We have the ability to open the genome like a book, go to a certain chapter and a specific word and change the word or correct its spelling,” said lead scientist Adam Bogdanove in the release.

This is significant because rice is a “staple crop that feeds half the world’s people,” according to the University. Increasing the quality and reliability of the rice crop could have profound humanitarian implications.

“Scientists are also in a race against time to double the production of cereal crops on limited arable land by 2050, when the global population could reach 9.5 billion,” the University said.

Bogdanove said researchers have already identified section of rice DNA which could present the opportunity for beneficial genome editing.

“Now, we don’t have to do years of breeding; we can just make the precise changes needed in a few short steps,” he said.

Construction on Dryden South to Begin June1 KRAFTEES

Continued from page 1

“We’re looking forward to getting back into that permanent location and making a really nice campus store that is commensurate with an Ivy League school,” Kraft said.

The new building will be more “technology focused,” according to Kraft. Additionally, Kraft said he intends to update the building’s website to be as “interactive and comprehensive as possible.”

“I want students to be able to manage their experience either through an app or completely over the website,” Kraft said. Such a platform would allow students to pay rent and communicate with their landlord, Kraft envisioned.

Kraft said he was excited to receive the first site plan approval under the City of Ithaca’s new code on formbased zoning districts, which the Common Council adopted in March.

THE CURRENT KRAFTEES “When Cornell and Ithaca started approaching the initiatives back in 2007 to expand density in Collegetown and remove some of the stress students were putting on neighborhoods, they began developing the code to allow for higher density — especially by Dryden Road and College Avenue,” Kraft said.

In preparation of the development, Kraftees has relocated to 315 College Ave. Although Kraft said the process of developing Dryden South has included “waiting and waiting and more waiting,” he is optimistic about the future of Collegetown.

“I think there’s a lot of people very interested … in seeing this area foster and grow and be more representative of the kind of college Cornell is,” Kraft said. “I think after a long time we’ll start to see that time.”

Students, Administrators Discuss Sexual Assault HUNTING GROUND Continued from page 1

college campus.

“There’s a huge generational issue, particularly within the fraternity culture. We’re in different places in society than we were 20, 30, 40 years ago,” Murphy said. “We need to communicate with our current students.”

An audience member asked how students could trust campus police when it appears they are “inherently contracted by the University, the same type of administration that has silenced so many other victims at other colleges.”

In response to the question, Police Chief Kathy Zoner described the partition between the school’s judiciary system and Cornell University Police Department.

“There is very much separation of what we each have to do, what our respective jobs are and where we go with an investigation,” Zoner said. “What may be perceived by someone outside the investigation as pressure is nothing more than our offices working our hardest to conduct a thorough investigation while trying to balancing the needs and wants of the complainant.”

However, few reports of sexual assault are made directly to CUPD, according to Zoner.

“The most problematic issue is if [students] don’t report at all … [then] all we can do is damage control,” Zoner said. “The

offenders are small in number, they are serial in their acts.

These acts can best be uncovered when people bring them forward.”

Additionally, Community and Respect residence advisors — called “CORE RAs” — have been trained to examine why certain situations on campus make it easy for sexual assault to occur, according to Joseph Burke, director of residential programs.

“We all have a part in this [with] bystander intervention — but to get further upstream, [we need] further clarity on why you even need a bystander at a party,” Burke said. “If anything, what we’re trying to say is that sexual assault is not inevitable.

It does not have to take place on a college campus.”

In regards to the number of sexual assault cases reported on campus, Murphy said “we are a University that has shown very small numbers early on.”

Laura Weiss, associate dean and director of the Cornell Women’s Resource Center, spoke about Cornell’s progress in addressing problems of sexual assault on campus.

“I think that Cornell is doing a lot and is a very strong leader on this issue, but there is always more to do,” Weiss said.

“No society has solved these issues.”

Breaking tradition this year, the University has opted not to cancel classes during the inauguration ceremony.

Earlier in February, the University Faculty Committee withdrew a Faculty Senate resolution requesting the cancellation of classes from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on Sept. 18, The Sun previously reported.

Both Garrett and Interim Provost Harry Katz had stated they did not want classes cancelled during the ceremony, leading to the UFC’s decision to withdraw their resolution, according to Dean of Faculty Prof. Joseph Burns Ph.D. ’66, astronomy.

In addition to the activities on Sept. 18, the University has planned to continue the celebrations with events over the course of Homecoming Weekend, according to the release.

Faculty, staff and students at Cornell’s New York City campuses will also have the opportunity to celebrate Garrett’s inauguration at a Sept. 21 event at Weill Cornell Medical College, according to the University.

Texas Muslims On Edge After Gun Attack DALLAS (AP) — When an outspoken opponent of radical Islam sought to mock Muhammad in Texas, home to one of the nation’s largest Islamic communities, local Muslims were encouraged to ignore her, and they did.

No one protested when Pamela Geller’s cartoon contest attracted about 200 people to suburban Dallas Sunday, even though some Muslims in Texas were already feeling aggrieved and fearful over growing anti-Islamic sentiment in the state.

Then, two men with attack rifles drove in from Arizona and opened fire on officers guarding the conference center in Garland. Both were shot dead, an officer was shot in the leg, and from the other side of the world, the Islamic State group made an unproven claim of responsibility.

Over the course of the spring term, The Sun has made great strides in covering the issues facing Cornellians across campus. When the 133rd Editorial Board returns, we aim to continue delivering the news, sports, culture and science pieces you have come to expect from us in a manner stronger than ever.

However, just because The Sun has set for the semester does not mean its editors and managers will become complacent over the summer recess. Until we return, we intend to reevaluate our online and social media presence in order to deliver stronger digital content to our readers in the fall. With many of our opinion columnists graduating this year, the Opinion section will hire a new crop of columnists through a process we hope will bring a more diverse set of writers to The Sun, allowing for a wider variation of campus voices. In addition, we will continue to rethink how we work internally to deliver The Sun to you in the most effective manner possible.

Until then, please remember to follow The Sun on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the latest breaking news over the summer. We look forward to seeing you back on the Hill next fall.

A Weisman Once Said

The Dingo

Life After Hogwarts

I

began my career as a Sun columnist with a piece about Hermione Granger and how being compared to her throughout my life was something that I was proud of. It seemed fitting to write my last column for the University that has shaped my last four years about the fictional witch who has influenced me. And since the movie version of the Deathly Hallows installment got a part two to showcase the final battle, I figured my final column deserved one as well.

For those of you who did not read or do not remember my first column, I wrote about how my elementary school librarian told me she thought the Hermione portrayed in the Harry Potter movies should have been “more like me.” I took this as an insult as an eightyear-old, wondering if she was implying I was annoyingly arrogant or a stuck-up know-it-all. Throughout the years, I have come to realize that I am happy to be compared to Hermione, as long as I am being compared to a headstrong, genuine, loyal, intelligent character who cares about women and is passionate about her interests. During my time as a Sun columnist, I strove to write my column as Hermione lives her life in the wizarding world: with unwavering passion and logical thinking.

The only problem is Hermione’s story ends at the end of her last year in school. Aside from a short epilogue showcasing Hermione as an adult, her fictional journey in J.K. Rowling’s magical world ends at the end of her seventh year as a wizarding student (though she did not spend much time in school that year). The widely criticized epilogue was supposed to give us closure for our beloved characters, but it’s too short and leaves out far too much. We know a little about what “happens” in Hermione’s future from bits and pieces J.K. Rowling has told us, but her real story ends when her time at Hogwarts comes to a close.

I really hope my story does not end when I leave the Hill. In fact, I hope that this is just the beginning.

As we prepare to graduate later this month, we can be hopeful about all the firsts we have coming our way.

In my mind, the second best role model after Hermione is the woman who plays her in the movies. Emma Watson is a smart, driven, passionate person, who represents so much more than simply the character of Hermione Granger. She certainly did not let herself become defined by her Harry Potter experience — as many actors in big movie franchises tend to do — and instead used it as a springboard to launch herself into everything else she has accomplished.

Twenty-five year old Emma Watson is a Brown University graduate, a versatile actress and a U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador. She is so much more than simply an actress in Harry Potter just as I hope to be more than just a “Cornellian.”

Many people treat the end of college like it’s the end of the best years of their lives — suggesting that everything goes downhill after graduation. While we might never have the same kind of fun we had while we were here, or be around so many of our friends at once, I believe that graduation represents more than just a series of lasts. It symbolizes a beginning: the beginning of the rest of our careers, the beginning of our time as alumni — the beginning of our epilogues.

Cornell is my Harry Potter, my springboard that will launch me into the rest of everything I do. We can’t all be as amazing as Emma Watson — believe me, I’ve tried — but we can use our Cornell experiences to help shape our futures, just as Hermione shaped my development and Cornell has shaped my past four years.

As we prepare to graduate later this month, we can be hopeful about all of the firsts we have coming our way. However, I am still dreading saying goodbye to this campus, the unique experiences I have had here and this column. It has been an absolute joy to write for this paper. Thank you to everyone who has read A Weisman Once Said, to anyone who has given me feedback — both positive and negative, looking at you, Game of Thrones fans — and to my wonderful editors who have empowered and helped me to express my opinions and nudged me when deadlines were approaching.

Someone told me that my last column was supposed to explain why my column is called A Weisman Once Said. Although we might now all agree that it probably should have been called “Harry Potter Fan Girl” or “Shonda Rhimes Wannabe,” through my discussions of pop culture, feminism and Cornell, I have tried to convey some wisdom and apply it to everyday life. I hope I have inspired you to look into the lessons that can be taken from the world around you, whether it’s from Harry Potter, your favorite T.V. show or a current event in the news. So if you’re ever lost, bored or in doubt about anything, just remember what A Weisman Once Said.

The Tale of the Dingo at Midnight

A

s I wrote in my most recent column, I will be ending my undergraduate career as an opinion writer with the first draft of the screenplay for my original made-for-TV special The Tale of the Dingo at Midnight.

We ended last time with our protagonist in an I Am Legend-esque moment as he held his deceased dog in his arms before the producers cut to commercials. His dog died when his house exploded, surrounded by suspicious circumstances. For those of you who did not read the most recent installment of this column, there really is not a whole lot of necessary background. Just know that the film is narrated by Jeff Bridges, the protagonist is stanky rich and loved his dog very much and dingoes live in both Australia and Southeast Asia.

The Tale of the Dingo at Midnight Part 2: Vindication Camera fades in and pans over the charred wreckage of Culkin’s (Rory, not Macaulay) former home. Kansas’s “Dust in the Wind” (or some other elegiac music) plays as bulldozers clear the debris from Culkin’s property.

We are taken to Maisy’s funeral where our protagonist stands eulogizing his late canine friend.

Dust in the wind / All we are is dust in the wind / Everything is dust in the wind.

JB [Jeff Bridges]: The fire marshall told me that the explosion was the result of a small bomb hidden in my house. I never learned who planted the device or exactly what their motivation was in doing so. In the end, however, it doesn’t matter who the Lovecraftian monster was; my house and closest companion were taken from me, and in their place remained only sorrow. But with each bit of sorrow in our lives, comes little bit of wisdom...

The camera shows Culkin approaching his boss’s (Zach Galifinakis) office. After he knocks on the door and enters, Culkin puts in his two weeks’ notice. After years pursuing financial wealth, he found himself jaded with the corporate rat race. He explains he is frustrated that most people around him asking themselves only “What can I get away with doing?” or “What can I get away with not doing?” and never “What should I be doing or not doing?”

JB: I found that I needed a change. I was looking to the future without hope, and when a man finds himself living hopelessly, his soul begins to wither. It was time not only to leave Seattle behind but to embrace the Thoreauvian type of “deliberate living” that had been crammed down my throat in high school literature.

We see Culkin pull up to and park at the Seattle International Airport and unload an external frame backpack from the trunk of his car. The car horn honks as he locks it and makes his way towards the terminal. When he reaches security, the TSA agent looks at his boarding pass and sees “Bangkok” written on it. The

agent asks if Culkin is visiting someone or just going on vacation. Culkin responds that he will be embarking on an indefinite excursion into a new culture and nothing else.

JB: I had spent some time hiking during my time in the Pacific Northwest and knew well that what might be just a few inches on a map could be a grueling death march of a hike. I had never flown transcontinental before, though, and did not anticipate how painful it would be to sit in an aluminum tube in the sky for 14 hours.

The plane touches down in Bangkok, and Culkin disembarks. As he rides the bus from the airport to the heart of town, it is clear that screens have taken over the capital of Thailand too.

Teenagers and adults alike are buried in their cell phones and tablets. The bus pulls into its stop, and as Culkin steps off the bus we see the cityscape is a juxtaposition of modern urbanity and old world Buddhist temples.

JB: I quickly abandoned the rough itinerary I had put together when some travelers at the same hostel suggested visiting Doi Ithanon and Pai if I was planning on traveling much in Thailand.

Bangkok savored of the days of American soldiers looking for drugs and prostitutes during Vietnam, so I left. The next day, I bought a Triumph Bonneville motorcycle from a toothless salesman and made my way to Doi Ithanon National Park.

Culkin sets off on the classic Triumph bike and, after a short period of traveling, arrives at Doi Ithanon. Here we see the tallest mountain in Thailand and two enormous pagodas built into the waterfall speckled hillside.

JB: I would have stayed at Doi Ithanon forever had the people I met in Bangkok not insisted so strongly that I continue on to Pai. I had to ride my new motorcycle up the windiest road in the country to make it there, but it was well worth the trek. I spent three weeks there, rising early in the morning to watch a thick layer of clouds engulf the bungalow where I was staying. It was there that I met Amelia.

As Culkin is purchasing a coffee in town he notices a beautiful blonde woman (played by Naomi Watts) sipping from a cup reading Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon in English. We learn that she is a coffee buyer for an American roaster and has been living in southeast Asia for the past six years. After speaking for a few minutes, she tells Culkin to visit her in Laos and indicates on his map exactly where and specifies a date in two weeks.

JB: Amelia was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. Her eyes were a blazing shade of green that looked like a clear emerald stone held up to the sun and stole all the words from my vocabulary.

The companionship I had fostered with the people I met on my travels never failed to teach me something about themselves and their cultures. When my mind was open, they also taught

me about myself. I knew that I needed to meet her in Laos and left Pai the next morning.

We see Culkin ripping across tropical southeast Asian roads on his motorcycle. The roar of Gibbons echoes through the rolling mountains. The elusive apes are heard but not seen hiding in the canopy high above.

Eventually the landscape changes from dense rainforest to grassy Laotian savannah. As Culkin rides into the night, he sees an animal get clipped by a car traveling ahead of him.

JB: I am not sure what inspired me to stop for that animal that night. Perhaps it was a way for me to remember my last moments with Maisy or perhaps I was simply exhausted from the long motorcycle journey and needed a break. Either way, as I got off my bike and saw the dingo that looked so much like my old dog wheezing ineffectively, I knew I couldn’t let it die alone. I sat with the animal’s head in my lap as it took its last breaths and quietly expired.

Culkin leaves the dingo and gets back onto his bike and continues down the same road as he was before. When he gets to the next town and looks at the name on the sign, he realizes that he took a wrong turn a few miles before seeing the dingo and would have to backtrack to meet Amelia in time.

JB: As I rode back towards where I veered off course, I thought about the futility of human existence. We all have unique experiences and perspectives to share with the world, and we all eventually die and pass on with all of our experiences and perspectives into forgotten obscurity. I thought this until I pulled up to where I had left the dingo on the side of the road.

Left where the dingo once was is a small red puddle. Culkin rubs his fingers through it and sees it is blood, believing the animal had been scavenged by something else. He looks towards the tall grass and sees the silhouette of the dingo limping away and barking cheerfully. Unseen dingos answer the call from the grass. We see a tear roll down his cheek as the sound of crickets is the only thing audible.

JB: As I watched that shouldbe-dead dingo walk away, I watched him exult in what had just been given to him — life’s most precious commodity: time.

I realized that ultimately our lives are not measured by how successful we are in our quest for greatness or wealth. Success is in the harvest of the seeds you sow. Our greatest hope is that we can make the people around us better and have them cherish the time they spent with us.

Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy” fades in.

Fade to black. Credits roll.

Audience loses their minds.

OPINION

Kevin Milian |

I

think it’s fitting that the sesquicentennial celebrations occurred the year I’m graduating. What are the chances that I’d enter Cornell in 2011 and graduate just in time for those once-in-a-lifetime celebrations that cater to my excessive amounts of school spirit? It seems like destiny that all these coincidences occurred. I immigrated to the U.S. when I was six, in the year 2000, and started first grade in the middle of the school year. If I hadn’t learned English in those six months left of school, I could have been held back, decreasing the chances of me graduating high school in 2011 and college in 2015.

Had I not done well in school, assimilated into American culture, been a nerdy bookworm, joined my high school newspaper’s staff and dreamed of something more than the white-picket fences and canal-alligators of my hometown, I wouldn’t be here.

I applied to Cornell because of its title. To be honest, I hadn’t really heard of it before I applied. I knew about Harvard because of its viral presence in academic popculture, Columbia for it’s journalism school and Yale and Dartmouth because of Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl respectively. I guess I have to thank television for my academic aspirations! Jokes aside, I only really applied to Cornell because of those college fairs (shoutout to E. Angela Herrera ’03 in Multicultural Recruitment for traveling down to the swampy depths of South Florida), because it looked “really pretty” on brochures and it was part of this “Ivy League” that is an elusive mystery to those of us who live in the south and beyond (try telling your Latina mom that you want to go to “Jail” — Yale — after high school). I had no threshold or standard to fulfill, I’m a first-generation college student. So I applied, waited for the pivotal “Ivy Day” and after the teeter-totter of acceptances and rejections, thought “maybe Cornell.”

I became curious in the institution that had chosen me. After all, the wand chooses the wizard. Cornell was esteemed by my peers, had snow (I was a sweet summer child) and was very, very, very far away from home. Any ongoing reservation was quickly quenched by the storied associations that came with the Cornell name at my high school; I had truly been sorted. Through Cornell’s gen-

Milian Dollar Baby

Origins and Endings erosity, I was given more financial aid than some of my state schools, so the choice was made. I was going to attend an Ivy League institution that I had Wikipedia-ed once, one that apparently had “normal” (non-palm) trees and wanted to fly me in for a visit. Impulsivity runs in my veins. I stepped off that propeller plane at Ithaca Tompkins Regional, and the rest is Facebook, Instagram and Daily Sun history.

I loved every minute of Diversity Hosting, from eating at Risley and swearing I’d eat there every day (I didn’t), to the tornado warning on the Arts Quad that same evening. I loved making my first Cornell friends (including the infamous Omari “Thunder” Powell ’15), and having a strange smugness when asked if I was still deciding between schools. I had already paid my deposit weeks in advanced, I was going here. My parent’s voices echoed in my head “you’re going here whether you like it or not,” a recurring theme in an immigrant’s life, said not out of warning, but to encourage positivity, hope and opportunity. I placed my hope in an institution, and that hope was returned. Here are a few concluding thoughts: I'll never have the chance to hear the Glee Club practice their songs next door to my house on Wednesday nights. I'll never again pick up the fish that my 5,000 fellow Lynah Faithful threw onto the slippery ice of Lynah Rink. However, I'll never fall on said ice again to a full house (it’s probably on YouTube). I'll never again have my first winter in the north, falling down on the hills on my way to class from the Townhouses.

I'll never have to take another prelim! I took about 29 that I remember, countless papers were written, a couple hundred blog posts and tweets were sent and of course, I gained an infinite amount of knowledge. I'll never experience freshman year heartbreak, write a column about it and have Professor Bazarova, Communication, present it one of her classes. I’ll never again have a place where I'll know at least one person in any given location, surrounded by friends who keep me hanging on.

However, I'll always have a couch to lie on in one of the marching band houses, assuming my legacy as “Waffles” stands the test of time. I'll always have a

Communication Department to visit, unless we go fulldigital soon, and then I'll have to connect via pod or some other crazy invention. I'll always have that gutwrenching, tear inducing feeling when the chimes start playing the Alma Mater and goes on to play all 6 verses at midday. I'll always have that chip on my shoulder, though hopefully it'll shrink and I won't have to say "ever heard of it?" because we'll be legendary and confident enough in our Cornell education.

I will always cherish all the pounds I gained from eating too much of our world class dining. Shoutout to Synapsis, Trillium breakfast, the Pizza Bagel at CTB, peppermint mochas, the Chicken Milano, the food trucks and all the "light refreshments" at events that I scarfed down routinely.

I will always have an elite, astute and compassionate group of friends in the Intergroup Dialogue Project who helped enlighten the world on social justice and the real issues that we sometimes forget on the Hill. I will always celebrate our time together and see you as amazing advocates and my strongest support group.

I'll always demand a more inclusive and socially proactive university. Because it's always necessary to strive to make this institution as supportive as possible.

We must continue to strive for “any person, any study,” but also to provide any help that anyone may need along the way.

After four years here I have done many quintessential Cornellian things. I've admired the beauty of our campus, learned as much as I could (credit wise) and truly had such a fun time. From sleepless nights to restful days, I’ve spent them all in the company of brilliant people, sometimes eccentric, sometimes exhausting but overall brilliant. Cornell, as alumni say, is forever, so this is the end of the first chapter of my Big Red love story.

If you were a part of it, I thank you profusely. And finally, in the words of our Evening Song “...joy to all we love the best, love to thee, our fair Cornell.”

Cornell Teams Investigate Dry Hopping Efficiency for Ithaca Brewing Company TENI CENICOLA / THE NEW YORK TIMES

By DEANNA LYE

According to Jo Yang ’15, the food science group worked closely with Ithaca Beer Company’s Head Brewmaster Andrew Houseman to develop a scientifically sound sensory experiment for the company to test whether dry hopping made a difference in Flower Power’s flavor.

“Our initial project set up was based on a decision tree,” Yang said. “It consists of three tests, the discrimination, the acceptance and the descriptive tests.”

According to Yang, the discrimination test was conducted as a “taste test” on a group of individuals to find out if Flower Power’s flavor differed between the old and new hopping process. If at least 12 out of 28 test subjects could distinguish the difference between the flavors, the acceptance test was next used to discover which flavor was preferred. If the flavor produced by the new hopping method was not popular, a descriptive test must be conducted on beer experts to obtain feedback on the necessary changes that should be made to the new hopping process.

According to Rachael Cusick ’17, another member of the food science research team, the project encountered some experimental resctrictions.

“Flower Power is a product favored by both older and younger customers. As we are on a college campus, we had a very restricted demographic,” said Cusick, who is also the dining editor for The Sun. “To accommodate for the limitations, we con-

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Exposing Big Brother: Citizenfour

BY KATIE O’BRIEN Sun Staff Writer

uation — namely, the fact that the NSA intercepts the vast majority of device-based communication in the United States. This means that the government can go back and read through any individual’s communications, and if that individual for any reason falls under suspicion, the government can monitor all further activity in real-time. Insert 1984 reference here.

In cinéma vérité fashion, the story speaks for itself with-

Laura Poitras’ 2006 film about life for Iraqis during the Iraq War got her an Academy Award nomination for best documentary — and it also got her a place on a US government watch list. She was marked as a highest-level national security threat, and detained and interrogated at the airport multiple times. In 2013, after Poitras had already begun research for a film about government surveillance, she received an anonymous email from “Citizen Four,” asking for her help in releasing classified NSA documents to the public. Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald traveled to Hong Kong to meet with the source — the now-famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) Edward Snowden.

With Citizenfour (2014), the third in a series of documentaries about post-9/11 America, Poitras tells of the NSA’s mass surveillance, the revelation to the public and the aftermath.

Citizenfour has a factual and informative narrative. It is a fascinating and chilling science ficCOURTESY OF PRAXIS FILMS tion story come true.

In addition to inducing paranoia and outrage, the docupened two years ago, watching the events unfold in the film allows for a whole new understanding of the gravity of the sit- mentary also inspires self-reflection. Do we even care if we are

being watched? Of course we do, but are we actually going to change our online behavior? Delete our Facebook, encrypt our emails and make 30-character passwords? Probably not.

Luckily, Snowden does not ask us to. He recently told John Oliver in an interview, “You shouldn’t change your behavior because a government agency somewhere is doing the wrong thing. If we sacrifice our values because we’re afraid, we don’t care about those values very much.”

Citizenfour’s portrayal of Snowden emphasizes his bravery and boldness in standing up against government violation of privacy, exposing the NSA’s lies and leaving behind his family and life to go into hiding for an important cause.

Obviously, not everyone agrees with this narrative — Snowden has had his motives questioned and received a lot of criticism for revealing too much about the US’s surveillance of foreign countries, which is not something the documentary addresses.

But call Edward Snowden what you want.

Call him a whistleblower, call him a spy, call him a hero, call him a traitor. President Obama called him “not a patriot,” but I disagree. If Snowden had not released the documents — and if Poitras, Greenwald and other journalists had not risked their own safety to report it — we would have no idea of the extent to which government invades our privacy.

So I think that everybody should watch the amazing accomplishment that is Citizenfour. We cannot allow the NSA’s actions to slip back under the radar thanks to our own apathy. The American public should continue to demand our right to privacy — before mass surveillance morphs from a covert, scary abstract we’d rather not think about to a simply accepted norm.

Twists on Twists on Twists: Shyamalan Strikes Again

BY ALEX REHBERG Sun Senior Editor

Fox’s new summer drama, Wayward Pines — anticipated by many to scratch that itch David Lynch left us withafter Twin Peaks — was really more of The Giver meets … well, everything M. Night Shyamalan has ever made. But it’s clear now that the only real reason why critics ever thought that Shyamalan’s Wayward Pines would be anything like Lynch’s Twin Peaks is simply because of its title and the picture of the town’s welcome sign plastered all over the Internet. Besides that, it’s merely a tip of the hat to the style in which great directors like Lynch have made amazing television series. So, I’m going to put a stop to that conversation right now and, instead, just say: It’s really no surprise that the veteran supernatural guru made his television debut with this — The Village turned modern commune for ex-security operatives — and made it interesting enough to keep our scattered attention spans latched onto its story, as well as give the show that “Shyamalan twist” which will keep me in the game for the COURTESY OF FOX

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

next five episodes of this 10-part mini-series (premiering May 14).

Oh, wait, did I say twist? Sorry, I meant twists on twists on twists.

If you’ve ever seen a “you took a wrong turn and now you’re trapped here” type show, you can pretty much picture how it all begins: with a crash (special thanks to Misery, The Truman Show, Lost and Under The Dome).

We start our journey to Wayward Pines with the starbursting cast of Matt Dillon as Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke, Juliette Lewis (Beverly the bartender), Toby Jones (Dr. Jenkins) and Melissa Leo (Pam the nurse). We hang upside-down with Ethan, trapped in the seat of his flipped-over car. Unfortunately for Ethan, he and his partner were simply looking for a couple of MIA secret service operatives somewhere in this middle-of-nowhere Iowa town when they took a wrong turn for the worst.

And after waking up in the hospital, with his partner and belongings missing, Ethan learns he can’t leave Wayward Pines; so the unsettling adventure begins.

What makes the town most unnerving isn’t the fake crickets, wire-cut telephones or even the fact that the sheriff refuses to show Ethan where his wrecked car and partner are.

Instead, it’s these onesided characters like the sadistic nurse, doctor and bartender who all serve singular purposes and really wouldn’t be too interesting to watch if such masterful actors didn’t play them. We get the bartender, who is the token voice of reason telling Ethan “things aren’t what they seem in Wayward,” then there’s this evil nurse who wants to implant something in

Ethan’s brain — well, we think that she does, but can only assume at this point — and all the townspeople who seem to follow whatever it is they’re being told, without knowing who the mysterious mastermind of the town is.

I’m going to harp on the nurse again (sorry, Leo), but Shyamalan doesn’t even try to hide the “everyone’s in on it” quality of this show, and makes this quite apparent in the first episode (first few minutes?) with the fact that this nurse seriously wants to harm or do some kind of major, invasive surgery to Ethan against his will — when he doesn’t seem to have any physical wounds. No concussion or even a broken leg. But since we get to see Melissa Leo chasing Matt Dillon around with a giant syringe, we’ll just let it slide.

We know that something is wrong in Wayward Pines, and there are at least 10 twists that happen in the first five episodes to let you know that. The anticipation of these twists is great, and I wish we got to see them sooner. The one thing Pines fails at, as a mini-series, is not skipping over the saturated, “getting started” exposition and just delving right into the world of the show. In the first two or three episodes we oscillate between this nightmarish, Real Stepford Wives of Idaho landscape and the “Real World,” which is apparently Seattle, Washington — where Ethan’s wife and son live. But we don’t need to constantly see the jaded, “I would be more concerned if my husband wasn’t a cheater” Theresa Burke (Shannyn Sossamon) and their monotonous, crazy-eyed son (Charlie Tahan) run around in Seattle before they too crash into the other-world of Wayward Pines.

Of course, I’m going to tune in to see what happens to Ethan — and I can’t even predict what is going to happen, or why, because there are so many twists and turns and, at this point, anything could happen. So the only way to find out what the hell is wrong with Wayward Pines is to watch the show. You got me there, Shyamalan.

I’ll be tuning in, and you’ll hear me shout, “Called it!” when it turns out they’ve all been dead the whole time.

A&E

I

am, for whatever reason, incapable of taking pride in the things that I do. It’s not modesty, really — more an intense critical attention turned inward. The writing process, for me, is one of stops and starts, of constant doubts and questions.

And the anxiety does not end when the piece is done and off to be printed; instead, it lingers for days, months, even years, as I wonder why I buried that lede or why I didn’t give that piece another draft or why I was so kind to The Amazing Spider-Man. The simple, calming truth here is that I am more stressed about the quality of my writing than anyone else. No one else is browsing The Cornell Daily Sun archives, at least for my stuff, and only a few more than zero people read these pieces in the first place. So this is the right time to mess up, overreach and set high standards. If I continue on this path, of writing for a living, the hope is that I will have editors, readers and salary providers to whom I must answer. My Daily Sun work has been largely selfappraised and self-assigned, which are both liberties offlimits when you’re aiming for a spot on The New Yorker.

But I am also thinking back on my time at The Sun, which began before freshman orientation (I emailed the Arts editors that summer, gushing about how much I wanted to write for them) and amounts to some 160 articles since, and I cannot but help detect a surge of pleasure, maybe even pride. From the get-go I knew I wanted to

Wednesday, May 6, 2015 | The Corne¬ Daily Sun | 11

That Wasn’t So Bad? write about movies, and I definitely did that, but I also covered concerts, albums, interviews, Breaking Bad. This column, which I started in January of 2012 and carried for 46 biweekly installments, allowed me to rope in all that plus the most blatantly non-arts topics, like family, the SATs and — remember this? — #Kony2012. The intent was never to just write about one thing, or judge whether something was good or bad, but to draw connections between as much as I could and encourage further thought from the reader. I never expected agreement.

This heady approach produced plenty of misses, but I’ll stand by more than a few of my hits. I kind of reviewed Slope Day my freshman year, in an arch, gonzo-wannabe report that rings true for each Slope Day

Zachary Zahos A Lover’s Quarrel With the World I’ve attended since. The other piece people actually read was my positive write-up of Bob Dylan’s April 2013 set at Barton, which I still get flak for liking. Reviewing At Berkeley, a four-hour documentary about higher education, provided non-activist me a platform to smuggle in some criticisms of Cornell’s administration, between your typical plot summary and formal analysis.

Perhaps my favorite column was the one

where I went full-on millennial, offering a close reading of the racial allegory and quantum physics in the Spongebob episode “Rock Bottom.” And if you have been following this space over the past year, you would know I’ve been obsessed with talking about criticism itself, which led to a lot of head-scratching, but also the column about “terms,” Fury and Frances Ha, where I actually, for once, nailed it.

Better than writing for The Sun, however, was getting to know the people in it, so allow me to be that guy as I give shout-outs to my heroes, who are also my good friends: Joey Anderson ’12, the only person I know under 50 whose friends have all attempted an impression of; James Rainis ’14, who is not a douche; Akane Otani ’14, who made the single greatest edit I’ve ever received by calling me over when proofing my Amour review and drawing red lines through my entire first paragraph; Gina Cargas ’14, who is a god to every cool person I know, and me; Liz Camuti ’14, who I once called “mom”; Julia Moser ’15, who is the best sparring partner I never asked for; Arielle Cruz ’15, who knows how to both dish the sass and bring people together; Sean Doolittle ’16, who is much nicer than me and Sam Bromer ’16, who is not. I must single out three Sunnies, in particular: Daveen Koh ’13, my co-editor, teacher and close friend; Kaitlyn Tiffany ’15, who encouraged me to think more critically about feminism; and Jeff Stein ’13, who has long been both my sharpest critic and biggest fan.

Most of those people are long gone or going, but when I look at The Sun’s Arts

section today I am more hopeful than I’ve ever been. My editors, Jael Goldfine ’17, Mike Sosnick ’16 and Troy Sherman ’18, are great writers all, overseeing an impressive roster of up-and-comers like Shay Collins ’18, Jack Jones ’18 and Chris Stanton ’17. In addition to my contributions, I have always been the Arts section’s biggest fan, reading it in print or online every day. With the current talent in place and more on the way, I expect to remain so, for quite some time.

I am leaving Cornell uncertain as to what I will make of all this, this swirl of epiphanies, relations and stress, now waning. My academics and other commitments (yo, CUPB!) will factor into the decisions I will soon make, but my time at The Sun will guide me most of all. I don’t even mean that in a cute, Daily-Sun-Is-My-North-Star#blessed kind of way. I just really have no way of removing my identity from this paper, which is why the finality of this piece is sort-of-definitely heartbreaking. I will write for some place else, yes, and attempt to answer the questions — about film, media, life, whatever — now fighting for attention in my head. These gigs might even pay, for once. But it will be tough to beat this place, with its built-in support network and fairly low stakes. Even if I’m only coming to terms with this now, The Sun allowed me to stress so much about my own worth that, in the end, it made me realize I actually had it.

I made the right decision.”

Coming to Cornell pushed Jenner out of her comfort zone on a multitude of levels. Both on and off the ice, she developed a stronger work ethic and developed both as an athlete and a student.

As a government major in the College of Arts and Sciences, Jenner took on the challenge of balancing athletics and academics.

After her junior year on the slope, Jenner took a year off from school to train with Team Canada for the Olympics.

“I played boy’s hockey growing up. The guys’ parents would tell me, ‘Oh, you’re going to play on

Team Canada’, but you never really take that seriously because there are so many other girls who have that same dream,” Jenner said. “I made Team Ontario U18 and then I started to really think about my

“I started skating when I was two, and I was in diapers.”

Brianne Jenner dream and trying to get a scholarship to a university in the States and play for Team Canada. I’ve been very, very lucky to be able to do both.”

Born and raised in Canada, Jenner grew up wearing skates.

“My dad played high-level hockey. He played at university and my uncle ran hockey leagues and I grew up with a hockey rink in my front yard,” Jenner said.

“My dad was a teacher, so I grew up on a campus and we had access to the rink . . . I started skating when I was two, and I was in diapers. Started playing hockey at three.”

After Cornell, Jenner will return to the University of Calgary to pursue a master’s degree in public policy. Despite continuing her studies, Jenner will continue to train for the next Olympic to maintain her spot on Team Canada’s roster.

“I’m still in the Hockey Canada program, so you always have to keep your spot,” Jenner said. “I was able to participate at the last World Championships, and it’s always an honor to represent the country and I see training with the national team in my future, especially for the next couple of years and I want to be training for that next Olympics. It’s a matter of me doing my work and seeing if I can retain my spot. There’s always young kids biting at your heels.”

Jenner lists her teammates, who have become a second family to her, and the Lynah Faithful as two of the things she’ll miss most when she leaves Cornell. Jenner said she feels proud that the fanbase of the women’s hockey team has grown during her time on campus.

“There are so many people that support us and coming on the ice and having the band playing and having our fans there,” Jenner said.

“That’s something that I missed last year and something I’ll really miss graduating.

“I’ll always think of this campus as a place to call home.”

Heading to UConn To Continue Career MILLER

men at Cornell. The next season, Miller took on a more central role on the squad and earned first team All-Ivy honors. This past year, Miller improved his performance in nearly every category and posted one of the best all-around seasons in program history.

Miller led the Red in points, rebounds, steals and blocks, averaging 16.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.8

“I think this is the next step in the journey that I see myself on. I’m excited about it.”

Shonn Miller blocks.

Despite the improvements on the court, Miller points to his leadership ability as the most important skill that Courtney has helped him improve in his time in Ithaca.

“I came in [as a freshman] and I would really go after my teammates,” Miller said. “[Coach Courtney] told me there are certain ways you can go about talking to people.

There are certain ways to lead.

It’s not just always getting on somebody, but it’s constructively telling them how to do something or talking to them in a certain way that will get the best out of them. He really helped me with that.”

While seniors across campus are preparing for lives in the workforce and beyond, Miller faces a different challenge. Due to an Ivy League rule that limits eligibility to four years, the former captain will be transferring to UConn for his fifth year. All season, Miller kept the focus on Cornell and his senior campaign, but as graduation approaches, he appears ready to take the skills he learned under Courtney’s tutelage and continue his career and development at one of the most storied basketball programs in Division I. “We did things this year that are going to stick with me in my future experiences,” he said.

“We went through battles. I just feel like everything I’ve done here is going to help me there.”

For Miller, basketball at UConn will be a different experience. It will be the first time since high school that he’ll be without the guys he’s grown so accustomed to playing and living with over the past four years. At UConn under the tutelage of head coach Kevin Ollie, a school synonymous with basketball, Miller said he’s ready to take on the extra pressure and the difficulties that come with being a member of a top program.

“I always like challenging myself, no matter what it is that I’m doing,” Miller said. “I think this is the next step in the journey that I see myself on.

I’m excited about it.”

4) What is your favorite Cornell memory so far, either with the team or outside rowing?

Obviously winning the Jope Cup at Sprints last year is up there but I think probably my favorite memory was my race against Yale last year. I was in the 2V [boat] and the 2V that year lost to Harvard in our first race.

We had, uh, I’ll call it a “malfunction” in our race when we were leading and made up a ton of ground as our race went through.

Shonn Miller

MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

By ADAM BRONFIN Sun Assistant Sports Editor

For four months, Shonn Miller watched from the bench as his team stumbled.

Sidelined with a shoulder injury, the 6-foot7 forward was a spectator to one of the worst seasons in Cornell basketball history.

With Miller and fellow senior Galal Cancer back on the team this past winter, the Red matched its win-total from the entire previous season in just four days.

“Last year, being out and sitting there at just about every game and not being able to contribute and watching the team struggle was hard,” Miller said. “But that fueled me in the off-season.

MICHAELA BREW / SUN SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

And then once we started, I was just excited to be able to play with them finally.”

“He’s the kind of player and teammate that was probably more disappointed for his teammates than for himself,” said head coach Bill Courtney. “For us to be going through that, and him having to watch and not being able to contribute, I think was a big deal for him.”

Shoulder healed, Miller returned to the Red and helped the team to an 11-win improvement, one of the best in the nation. He made an immediate impact on both ends of the floor; offensively, Miller possesses smooth, effortless touch around the rim. Whether it’s soft jump hooks, timely three-pointers or thunderous alley-oops, the Euclid, Ohio native seems to score at will against opponents.

Despite his offensive prowess, Miller takes the most pride in his defense. It’s common to see Miller come swoop in out of nowhere to grab rebounds or rise up to block opponents several inches taller than him. A finalist for National Defensive Player of the Year, Miller was a key factor in the Red’s upset of Harvard, a game that he calls his best game at Cornell.

“With him coming back this year and helping us get the program back in the right direction, you can see his value as a player to our program,” Courtney said. “He’s been tremendous over the past four years and he’ll go down as one of the best players to ever play here.”

In 2012, Miller won Ivy League Rookie of the Year, setting several records for fresh-

To say Brianne Jenner is accomplished would be selling her way short. The senior defenseman for the women’s hockey team is among the most decorated athletes to ever step foot on the slope. While on campus, she was named to the First Team All-ECAC Hockey all four years playing for the Red, was a nominee for the Patty Kazmaier award, given to the best female collegiate hockey player all four years and received ECAC Hockey Player of the Year honors her junior and senior years.

Oh, and she won an Olympic gold medal playing for Team Canada in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. But despite all of that, Jenner said she constantly finds herself in awe of others on Cornell’s campus.

“There are people who do way crazier things [than win the Olympics], like build robots. I just can’t fathom that, to be honest,” Jenner said. “So many amazing people do amazing things and I’m like, ‘Wow, I don’t know how I fit in here,’” Jenner fit into head coach Doug Derraugh’s program immediately once stepping onto campus. In four seasons, she

averaged 23 goals and 34 assists per season for Cornell. Jenner not only excelled herself, but made her teammates better, the true sign of an influential, prolific hockey player.

But there was a time for Jenner when Cornell wasn’t quite on her radar when she was looking at potential schools to play for in college more than six years ago. Jenner set her sights on the Ivy League early on, due to her desire to use hockey to get a great education. While touring through schools with her father, she was most interested in Dartmouth and Harvard. “I was fairly set on another school [other than Cornell],” Jenner said.

But when she visited Ithaca, something felt right. Things clicked.

“The atmosphere here, the hockey program, the coach, campus, everything felt right when I got here,” Jenner said. “I think See JENNER page 15

Sports Editor and 10 Questions columnist Anna Fasman sat down with equestrian junior Nigel Harriman to talk about everything from rowing to medicine.

1) How did you start rowing?

I started rowing in seventh grade after seeing my cousin — who eventually went on to Bates — win the Head of the Charles. I thought that was amazing. I thought that was the coolest thing to see eight people all in sink rowing together and having her win was really incredible.

Her name is Hannah Richardson and she graduated in 2011.

2) You were just named captain for next year. What do you think is the most important quality a leader should have?

Bringing out the best in everyone around them and making sure there is open communication on all levels, especially with the coaching staff.

Do you have any specific goals as captain?

We’ve had some great success this year and a lot of success last year and I would like to build off of what we’ve done. Last year we won a national championship and we also won the Jope Cup, which is the points trophy. The goal for this year is to do that again and that’s going to be our goal every year. We’ve done a good job of

establishing a healthy team culture and just continuing that culture is something everyone on the team is committed to.

3) Do you have any passions or hobbies outside of rowing?

I love biking, I love hiking, I love my dog. I think of those three I love to hike the most. Hiking is really really fun — I really enjoy nature. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve enjoyed being outdoors.

Coincidentally, I guess, I found a sport

that is almost always outdoors.

Have you hiked around Ithaca?

A little bit. It’s mostly been around See HARRIMAN page 15
