Dean designate for the College of Business Chris Barrett discusses the priorities of the faculty governance committee.

Sun Staff Writer

Faculty and administrators gathered for an in-depth update on the development of the new Cornell College of Business in Malott Hall Tuesday.

Provost Michael Kotlikoff introduced committees — steering, faculty governance, staff synergy, alumni engagement, graduate student synergy, undergraduate student synergy and communications — established in January to “provide broad input into [the college’s] structure and policy.” The College of Business was approved by the Board of Trustees in January and will begin operations in the

“The cohesion of the College is the central purpose for creating the College of Business,” Barrett said. “Cornell makes a massive investment in these See COLLEGE page 4

C.U. Republicans Flock to Trump, Fearing Clinton

By MADELINE COHEN Sun Assistant News Editor

Many members of Cornell Republicans have said they plan to rally behind ‘presumptive’ presidential nominee Donald Trump, citing the urgency of barring former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from the White House.

Olivia Corn ’19, chair of Cornell Republicans, said that while she does not agree

with all of Trump’s stances, she plans to vote for him as the lesser of two evils, stressing the damage that would result if Clinton were to assume the presidency.

“I cannot speak for every individual in the organization, but for me at this point, I will be voting for Donald Trump,” Corn said.

“While he is a flawed candidate, his values more closely align with mine than Hillary Clinton's. Voting third party

Trump is not his ideal nominee, both parties must band together to block Clinton.

“Many Republicans, myself included, are dismayed to see Donald Trump become our nominee,” Navadeh said. “However, the worst case scenario is Hillary Clinton becoming President, with Republicans and many Democrats alike wanting to make sure that never happens.”

Corn added that, despite her reservations, she feels she has “no choice” but to vote for Trump, who she pointed out “is not currently being investigated by the FBI.” “Although Trump has said some things I disagree with, so has Hillary Clinton,” Corn said. “Hillary Clinton lies through her teeth, puts down women and would be a horrible representation of this country. I am unable to vote for the third and fourth terms of Obama, which is why I feel I have no choice but to back my establishment candidate.”

Alaska Moose Harmonizes With Home’s Wind Chimes ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Forget “Uptown Funk.” The Alaska wild is grooving to the smooth “moose-ic” of wind chimes.

Britta Schroeder shot video of a moose playing onepart harmony with the wind chimes on the porch of her rural cabin near Denali National Park and Preserve, and it’s quickly making its way across the Internet.

Schroeder heard the chimes around 10:30 p.m. May 4. She looked out the window of her home near Healy, Alaska, about 10 miles north of the park’s entrance, but it didn’t look windy.

The chimes continued to sound for two to three more minutes. Then she heard a thump on her porch.

“My dogs’ ears perked up,” she said. “I knew it was going to be an animal.”

Sure enough, there was a moose, rubbing its head against the wind chimes and gumming the glass disc pendulum that hangs down from the middle of the instrument. She opened the door of her cabin wide enough to get her cellphone through to shoot video but still keep her dog inside.

Schroeder said a cow and two moose calves had spent some time near her cabin since last summer but she had not seen the family since March. She assumes the mother has kicked the calves out, and this one returned to her

yard.

As for the “moose-ical” interlude, Schroeder isn’t going to venture a guess as to what attracted the moose to the wind chimes.

Fifty Years After Riot, Publisher Asks Rolling Stones to Return LYNN, Mass. (AP) — A newspaper publisher is asking the Rolling Stones to return to town 50 years after they cut short a show during a thunderstorm, leading fans to rampage.

Ted Grant, publisher of the Daily Item in Lynn, said in an open letter published Tuesday that “a lot has changed” since the band was last in town, on June 24, 1966, and he wants the British rockers to finish the set that ended when they left the stage during a storm at the Manning Bowl stadium. Angry fans broke through barriers, prompting police to use tear gas, and the Stones pledged never to return to the city, 10 miles north of Boston.

“We ain’t too proud to beg,” the Item’s chief executive, Beth Bresnahan, said Tuesday.

The newspaper has reached out to Stones management trying to secure an interview with one or more members of the band for a story it plans to mark the 50th anniversary of the show but hasn’t heard back and will continue to try, said Bresnahan, a Lynn native.

University Begins Slope Day Breakfast Initiative University Student Creates Display Honoring Groundbreaking Geneticist, Alumna Juliet Jacobson ’16 has created an exhibit in Mann Library honoring Barbara McClintock ’23, M.A. ’25, Ph.D. ’27 — a Nobel Prize-winning biologist who discovered transposable elements, or sequences of DNA that can migrate throughout the genome, according to the University. The exhibit, funded by a grant from the President’s Council of Cornell Women, displays books about and quotes from McClintock.

Jacobson told the University that she was motivated to create the display when she arrived at Cornell expecting to see a major monument commemorating McClintock but only found a remote plaque.

C.U.Health Experts to Conduct Zika Study for WHO Work to formulate guidelines on best ways to feed infants during outbreak

By DREW MUSTO Sun Staff Writer

Global health experts Prof. Julia Finkelstein, epidemiology and nutrition, and Prof. Saurabh Mehta, global health, epidemiology and nutrition, will lead an international team of researchers studying the risk of transmitting the Zika virus through breastfeeding, according to a University press release.

The World Health Organization will use the team’s research to inform its guidelines for feeding infants during a Zika outbreak, the University said.

This announcement came shortly after the professors, with Susannah Colt grad and other WHO researchers, released a study on May 2 that was unable to determine if breastfeeding alone can transmit the virus, the University reported.

The study concluded that “more evidence is needed to distinguish breastfeeding transmission from other transmission routes [around the time of birth],” such as labor and pregnancy.

Researchers have nevertheless established that Zika — a mosquito-borne infection — is “associated with an increase in central nervous system malformations and newborn microcephaly cases,” the study said.

“We anticipate that people are going to start actively looking at Zika virus infection and breastfeeding transmission as better diagnostics become available and as knowledge about it is increasing around the world.”

Prof. Saurabh Mehtna Microcephaly leads to abnormally small heads in infants and has also been linked to intellectual disabilities, seizures and developmental delay, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

One complication with diagnosing Zikaassociated microcephaly is that Zika is fre-

quently asymptomatic in mothers, Finkelstein said in the release.

“Since the mother most often doesn’t show any symptoms, the potential numbers for how many mothers are really infected could be much greater,” she said.

Finkelstein estimated that while only one in 100 cases of a mother carrying Zika results in infant microcephaly, one in five cases may cause other complications — such as congenital abnormalities and brain malformations — according to the University.

In the release, both researchers stressed that the literature linking breastfeeding and Zika transmission is still in its beginning stages, but Mehta expressed optimism that research on the topic will grow.

“We anticipate that people are going to start actively looking at Zika virus infection and breastfeeding transmission as better diagnostics become available and as knowledge about it is increasing around the world,” Mehta said.

Cruzin’ into Congress

Clinton From Presidency REPUBLICANS

Continued from page 1

Navadeh said that although he prefers Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) or Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to Trump, if either ran a third party campaign, it would guarantee a Clinton presidency.

“A third party victory from Cruz or Rubio would be ideal, but we know this would just split the Republican vote and hand the election to Clinton” Navadeh said.

As many Cornell Republicans members voted for Cruz in the New York primary, they may choose to vote for a third party libertarian candidate instead of Trump, according to Irvin McCullough, first vice chair of Cornell Republicans.

“While I've supported Donald Trump for some time, almost all of the Cornell Republicans supported Ted Cruz in the primary fight,” McCullough said. “That makes sense given our slightly libertarian bent. I wouldn't be surprised if some of our members, regardless of Mr. Trump's attempts to unify the party, voted libertarian in November. I have yet to see many members cross party lines to vote for Hillary Clinton.”

Corn also said Republicans must consider the stakes in this election, stressing that she would not feel comfortable with Clinton choosing members of the Supreme Court.

NEWS BRIEFS

Sanders Wins West Virginia, Facing Slim Nomination Chances LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — White House dreams fading, Sen Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) added another state to his tally against Hillary Clinton with a win in West Virginia on Tuesday — a victory that will do little to slow the former secretary of state’s steady march toward the Democratic presiential nomination.

Meanwhile, Republican Donald Trump also won there and in Nebraska, a week after he cleared the field of his remaining rivals. They were not victories likely to heal the party's wounds, as some GOP leaders continue to hold off offering their endorsement of the party’s presumptive nominee.

The result in the West Virginia Democratic primary underscored the awkward position Clinton and the party's establishment face as they attempt to turn their focus to the general election. Sanders has won 19 states to Clinton’s 23, but she is 94 percent of the way to winning the nomination — just 144 delegates short of the 2,383 required.

That means she could lose all the states left to vote by a landslide and still emerge as the nominee, so long as all her supporters among the party insiders known as superdelegates continue to back her.

Clinton needs to win just 14 percent of the delegates and uncommitted superdelegates at stake in the remaining contests,

and she remains on track to capture the nomination in early June.

Still, Sanders is vowing to fight on. He campaigned in Oregon and California on Tuesday and his victory in West Virginia highlighted anew Clinton’s struggles to win over white men and independents — weaknesses Trump wants to exploit in the fall campaign.

“Let me be as clear as I can be, we are in the campaign to win the Democratic nomination," Sanders said at a campaign event in Salem, Oregon.

"We are going to fight for every last vote.”

Among those voting in the West Virginia Democratic primary, about a third said they would support Trump over either Clinton or Sanders in November.

An additional 2 in 10 said they wouldn’t vote for either candidate. But four in 10 also said they consider themselves to be independents or Republicans, and not Democrats, according to exit polls.

While Sanders is still attracting thousands to rallies, his campaign has grown harder as Clinton closes in on the nomination. His fundraising has fallen off and so, too, has his advertising, with only about $525,000 in ads planned for California and $63,000 each in West Virginia and Oregon, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media’s CMAG.

GOP Presses Facebook Over Display of Conservative Stories WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans on Tuesday demanded an explanation from Facebook after reports that former company staffers excluded links to conservative political stories.

A senior Facebook executive said the company has found no evidence to back up the anonymous allegations.

In a letter to chairman and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, South Dakota Sen. John Thune requested information on who at the company made the decisions on stories for Facebook’s Trending Topics feature, what training is provided to employees, whether the company is investigating and what steps it will take to hold people accountable.

“If Facebook presents its Trending Topics section as a result of a neutral, objective algorithm, but it is in fact subjective and filtered to support or suppress particular political viewpoints, Facebook’s assertion that it maintains ‘a platform for people and perspectives from across the political spectrum’ misleads the public,” wrote Thune, who chairs the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.

He asked for answers by May 24.

News reports say Facebook employees excluded links to stories they considered less reliable in its list of trending stories, though individuals could post links to conservative stories on their own Facebook feeds.

Tom Stocky, Facebook vice president of search, said his team is responsible for the Trending Topics and the company has “found no evidence that the anonymous allegations are true.”

“There are rigorous guidelines in place for the review team to ensure consistency and neutrality,” Stocky wrote. “These guidelines do not permit the suppression of political perspectives. Nor do they permit the prioritization of one viewpoint over another or one news outlet over another. These guidelines do not prohibit any news outlet from appearing in Trending Topics.”

Adam Jentleson, an aide to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, (D-Nev.), maintained there are more pressing priorities than the Facebook issue.

“The Republican Senate refuses to hold hearings on (Supreme Court nominee) Judge (Merrick) Garland, refuses to fund the president’s request for Zika aid and takes the most days off of any Senate since 1956, but thinks Facebook hearings are a matter of urgent national interest,” Jentleson said. “The taxpayers who pay Republican senators’ salaries probably want their money back.”

Questioned later in the day about his inquiry, Thune defended the committee's actions and insisted he wasn't suggesting “anything untoward” on the part of Facebook. He said the panel was responding to media reports and asking for a clarification on policy.

Miami Heat Top Raptors In Overtime, Tie Up Series MIAMI (AP) — Just about everyone struggled to score, with one very notable exception.

Dwyane Wade was rolling.

And the Miami Heat couldn’t be more thankful.

Wade scored 30 points, including the layup that sent the game to overtime and finished off Miami’s frantic comeback from a nine-point deficit, as the Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 94-87 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday night.

The series is tied 2-2, heading to Toronto for Game 5 on Wednesday.

“It looked dark for a minute,” Wade said, “but there was no quit in us.”

It looked dark for a lot of minutes before Wade and the Heat figured it out. Goran Dragic had 15 points, including a threepoint play that just about clinched it for the Heat with 22.4 seconds left in overtime. Joe Johnson also scored 15, despite still being without a 3-pointer in this series — but setting the tone with two blocked shots in the first 59 seconds of the extra session.

Wade didn’t score in overtime until his steal and dunk closed the scoring. He didn’t have to, either.

“I was tired,” Wade said. “I was using myself as a decoy. All eyes were on me and I wasn’t going to force anything.”

Miami led for only 13 seconds in the fourth quarter, but never trailed in overtime — the third time in four games the Heat and Raptors needed five extra minutes to decide a winner.

On Tinder C

aution: this is a low-key sentimental column. Lots of feelings, lots of emotions. I listen to lots of Drake. There might be some jokes here or there, but mostly just heartfelt words about the machinations of my inner soul. But yeah anyways, here’s my column.

Everybody has that one person, or several people, that they seem to see everywhere on campus. You don’t know their name, you don’t know what they’re like and you’ve never heard their voice, but they’re really damn hot. Since you’ve never been introduced, there’s nothing to do but avoid eye contact and wonder why, of all the people at this crunchy ass school, this one person has such a presence in your life. And why you most likely have such a presence in theirs.

Spring semester of 2015, which was the latter half of my sophomore year, I took two art history courses. There was a girl in both of those classes whom I recognized from one of the art history courses I had taken the semester before.

It was a strange coincidence that we had so many schedule overlaps, especially with the extensive list of art history classes offered to fulfill the major. I even started seeing her more around other parts of campus; she was my mystery Isee-you-everywhere person. She was also the most attractive person I had probably ever seen, so I definitely wasn’t complaining.

Three full semesters passed and neither of us spoke to each other or made eye contact, but clearly we knew who the other was. We kept having classes together — small,

I have Tinder to thank for giving me another friend at Cornell; once we matched (wink wink) it provided the channel to be able to start talking to this person whom I had “known” for over a year and a half but hadn’t had the gall or the right situation to be able to become familiar with. discussion-style classes — yet somehow defied all odds and never once spoke. I sat behind her for a number of hours I don’t want to try and calculate, saw her at least once a week in passing somewhere else on campus and ran into her at open parties. It wasn’t until March of this semester that we finally broke down the invisible wall and started talking. Oh also this happened on Tinder.

People give Tinder a tough break because of its pure focus on physical attractiveness and its intended purpose as the premier hookup app. Don’t get me wrong, I downloaded Tinder for the same reason every other hormoneriddled youth on this campus did. However, the app deserves so much more credit than I previously thought. I have Tinder to thank for giving me another friend at Cornell; once we matched (wink wink) it provided the channel to be able to start talking to this person whom I had “known” for over a year and a half but hadn’t had the gall or the right situation to be able to become familiar with. My clever ice breaker of “hey u wanna talk about some art type shit” resulted in us exchanging numbers and starting to finally figure out why the universe was so insistent that we know each other.

If you’re asking yourself how this fairytale ends, the answer is that it’s still in progress. By this I mean she still hasn’t replied to my original message. If you’re reading this mystery art history beauty, please reply. I promise I’m a fun and nice guy. Nah, just kidding. She’s my girlfriend now. God bless Tinder. Sorry for the sentimental post.

Have a great finals week everyone! And if you get bored, download tinder and start swiping. You never know who you might meet.

Dear Cornell…

I

cannot believe that it has been four years and that it is finally my turn to graduate.

It feels like I have spent my whole life working towards and waiting for this moment. As a kid, I could not wait to be “grown.” As a highschooler, I dreamt of college everyday.

Sometimes I still dream about college if I’m being honest. I wonder if I did the last four years “right.” Did I work hard enough?

Party enough?

Experience life enough?

T h e answers to those questions does not matter of c o u r s e .

Because, even if the answer was no, I’m stuck with the college experience that I’ve got.

Fortunately, I’m pretty happy with it — pretty happy with it and extremely grateful for it. I remember getting into Cornell and being so excited because I always wanted to attend an Ivy League university, and with my acceptance that dream could come true. It’s funny though because, I threw out the initial brochure that Cornell sent me.

Thank God my mom saw it, believed in the marketing and strongly suggested, I mean made me apply because four years later, I can’t imagine having gone to school anywhere else.

Coming here opened up my world. Don’t get me wrong, I always knew that there was more to the world than my own backyard and I always believed I had a responsibility to people around the globe. But, I struggled with figuring out how to reach them, how to engage, how to become one of them. I always knew that I wanted more for myself than just experiencing

where I’m from and Cornell made that possible by laying a sea of opportunities at my feet.

All I had to do was pick which fish I was interested in and somehow reel it in. Some, I caught easily. Others were a struggle and some evade me to this day.

As a freshman, I had a post-it on my wall that said, “Forget the Big Red Boxes and just make your Cornell story a good one.” This has been my guiding

experience or if I wish I had done anything differently and it brought me such joy to be able to tell them, no. My one, overarching goal, when I entered Cornell as a freshman was to milk this place for everything it’s worth and four years later, I know I’ve done that. Your Cornell experience will not be the same as the person next to you and that is the magic of this place. Yes, we all experience a similar form of torture, but the devil is in the details, so don’t be afraid to build on your details to stand out.

If you let it, Cornell will place you with people, in situations, doing things that you maybe only ever dreamt about. And if you have the courage to trust in the magic of your life, plus the gall to follow through, I believe there is no way you can leave this place worse off than you were when you first arrived here. So, today, in my last column for The Sun, I’d simply like to say thank you. Thank you Cornell for giving me more than I ever thought to ask for over the course of the last four years. Thank you for bringing me a village and thank you to that village — you know who you are. I leave here, a young, Ivy League educated, Black woman, ready to engage with the world. For that, for making little six year old Gabby’s dream come true, thank you.

And if you have the courage to trust in the magic of your life, plus the gall to follow through, I believe there is no way you can leave this place worse off than you were when you first arrived here. light. Having big goals, but remaining flexible in how I try to achieve them in case the Universe decides it has other, hopefully better plans in store for me. I would admonish all who will still inhabit the Hill next year to do the same. It’s so easy to get caught up in classes, work, trying to secure a good internship and planning for whatever will come next. I know firsthand because I have been guilty of this more times than I would like to admit. But, I promise you that it does all work out, even when it looks like it won’t and all you can really ever do it your part and keep the faith in the process. Cornell is an institution that makes you believe it is and will always be the most important thing in your world. But it isn’t and it won’t be.

Make sure that you get everything you want from this place.

Last week, someone asked me if I regretted anything about my

pretty well as unchallenging pump-up music — or at least can coexist with the more get-up-and-go tracks from Run the Jewels 2, for example.

Much of the record’s accessibility lies in its transparency. Death Grips hide less behind an imposing wall of sound and instead wear many of their influences on their sleeves — a move that makes their latest effort more relatable, familiar and welcoming than The Money Store, for example. The opener, “Giving Bad People Good Ideas,” features a pulsing metal drive like a heartbeat gone out of control. The heavily overdriven guitar stops short of being just noise, and is markedly more melodic than most songs with four bars of one note. “Spikes” shares some twisting elements of mainstream dubstep (looking at you, deadmau5), while the album’s title track plays like a punk jam with a hard-rock edge under MC Ride’s abstract raps. Somewhat less expectedly, “Hot Head” sounds like a 16-bit video game soundtrack gone haywire, and behind the grime of “Ring A Bell” lies a distinctly vapor groove.

Bottomless Pit also exhibits Death Grips’ muchimproved handle on texture and space than their previous work. Perhaps due to their recent instrumental project, Interview 2016, the group’s sound is now fuller and more complete than ever. The popping synths on “Eh” that are halfway between a computer in a ’70s sci-fi film and a Kygo bridge live in three dimensions, and the muddy swells of “80808” fill sonic space unlike anything from No Love, Deep Web

I’m no Death Grips stan (à la Anthony Fantano), but I am someone who has genuinely liked all the music they’ve put out. After every release, though, there’s a little voice in the back of my head that wonders if MC Ride, Zach Hill and Andy Morin are fucking with us. Do they really believe their abrasive industrial x noise x hip-hop hodgepodge is good music, art or both? Or are they sitting in Sacramento, laughing at their legions of hyperdedicated fans for falling for their joke? Either way, they’re smarter than all of us.

Listening to their latest release, though, was the first time the “are they fucking with us” thought never crossed my mind. Bottomless Pit is without a doubt their most well-structured effort yet. Every track falls on the record falls into an infectious groove, it’s quite melodic and has segments that are — dare I say — catchy.

It’s moments like the shout-along chorus of “Three Bedrooms In A Good Neighborhood” that urge me to recommend Bottomless Pit as a Death Grips jumpingoff point. If you’ve never heard them before (how?) or you thought they were too rough on the ears, try Bottomless Pit on for size. If you’re still not swayed, I could play the “you just don’t get it” card, but hey, it can’t be for everyone.

If MC Ride’s lyrics were just a bit more decipherable, I’d be shouting along with this album from start to finish. Whereas their previous releases felt more intellectual, more high concept, Bottomless Pit plays

Mitski “Happy” Dead Oceans

O

O

O O O

or even The Powers That B. Over this stellar production work from Zach Hill and Andy Morin resides MC Ride’s no-holds-barred vocals. His delivery is as forceful as ever, filled with angry urgency. His ferocious bars lend further intensity to the already gripping album, with 100 percent intelligibility always just out of reach. While occasional indecipherability only adds to Death Grips’ manic fervor, the lyrics are helpfully available on the group’s website. Spoiler: they’re manic indeed.

Honestly, unintelligibility is favorable to most of the incoherent babble being spouted by MC Ride (unless, again, they’re smarter than all of us). For illustration’s sake, here’s a choice snippet from the title track: “Gag ’til I’m all drenched/ fucked you in half / I see you fiending marvelous/ Gagballs drooling pools.” Um … “gagballs.”

Lyrical content aside — because hey, you probably won’t understand it anyway — Bottomless Pit is the most approachable, if not the flat-out best, Death Grips effort to date. Their musical approach is more mature, intelligent and skilled than ever, with a finesse that minimizes abject brutality without sacrificing rage. Past Death Grips releases have made me feel like an onlooker into the group’s hellish, upsidedown world, but Bottomless Pit welcomes listeners in with open arms.

“Happy came to visit me, he brought cookies on the way.” Mitski softly spills out the words in a ghostly, vibrating mumble, over a quick, blasting automatic weapon-esque drum machine pulse on her single “Happy” — the second pre-released track from her forthcoming, sophomore sum, Puberty 2. The track is a beautiful mystery: a queer, sad, riddle of a song.

The track recounts the memory of a visit from Happiness (who goes by male pronouns) who laid her down, told her it would all be okay, then vanishes while she’s in the bathroom, leaving a mess and reminders of the visit in his wake for the singer to clean up.

In the song’s three brief verses, Mitski crystallizes the intoxication of happiness — the everythingness of small moments, the sun-filled room, cookies and tea with a lover — and the violent

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

hangover of the come-down, the desperation to get it back. However, the most haunting emotion on the track, is Mitski’s apathy about the whole affair: that she is not heartbroken, screaming or crying: just a little bit sad, as she quietly cleans up the debris: “And I turned around to see/All the cookie wrappers/And the empty cups of tea/Well I signed and mumbled to myself/Again I have to clean.”

As it turns out, ambivalence about heartbreak is much sadder than heartbreak by itself. We know what to do with heartbreak; it is familiar and legible to us, and we have libraries of rock and roll songs to tell us how to feel and heal. Ambivalence about happiness, however, is a different and much scarier game of existence.

Mitski has made sad songs, haunting songs and strange songs before — they comprise the bulk of her last album, Bury Me At Makeout Creek — but

never like this before. The macabre non-love story is woven into a carnivalesque soundscape of instrumentals and production. The track is an experiment, into a St. Vincent, or tUnE-yArDs-ian land of acerbic, uneven, discordant beats, minor-key saxophone riffs, distorted vocals, machine-gun drums and, generally, having no idea what to expect the next note will bring. The biggest surprise for me on the track comes with the indelible chorus, when Mitski cries out “And if you’re going, take the train/So I can hear it rumble, one last rumble/And when you go/take this heart/I’ll make no more use of it,” not liberated, but confident in her capacity to self-preserve and carry on.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

“Dark Getaways” Warner Brothers

O O

O Internet denizens mocked Kylie Jenner for her Kylie Up Close video in which she proclaimed, “I feel like every year has a new energy, and I feel like this year is reall about, like, the year of just realizing stuff.” Yet, if the four-and-a-smidgen months have been any indication, the mainstream music world is very much so been experiencing a period of new, bizarre bursts of energy and important realizations. In the case of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, this realization comes in the form of realizing that perhaps an important bond ran under the group’s long-running partnership with Def Jam founder and super-producer Rick Rubin.

Rubin, after all, brought the group three stellar albums in a row: 1999’s Californication, 2002’s By the Way and 2006’s Stadium Arcadium.

Additionally, all of the albums featured guitarist John Frusciante, whose guitar work, when considered alongside the funky, crunchy guitar licks of singer/guitarist Anthony Kiedis, arguably wormed their way into listeners’ ears even more effectively than Anthony Kiedis’ often cryptic vocals. Yet, upcoming album The Getaway instead features Josh Klinghoffer, who has toured with the band since 2007 and appeared on 2011’s I’m With You, and producer Danger Mouse.

Danger Mouse is not a producer to be dismissed. His combinatorial mash-up of the Beatles

and Jay-Z, 2004’s The Grey Album, cast two often over-idolized artists into a radically rejuvenated and reimaged light. He has worked with a plethora of artists, from A$AP Rocky to Beck, and, perhaps mostly notably, teamed up with crooner-cum-TV judge Cee-Lo Green to concoct Gnarls Barkley. If the opening hits of Gnarls Barkley’s 2008 “Crazy” have ever synced up with your adrenaline-fueled heartbeat and pumped you up for a wild night, you have Danger Mouse to thank.

And yet, he is not the right producer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as evidenced by “Dark Necessities,” the group’s first single off of The Getaway. After all, the Red Hot Chili Peppers long thrived off of always seeminge slightly off-kilter.

Despite the many studio takes required to create them, tracks like “Dani California” and “Can’t Stop” always felt like the band nailed them on the first take, slight flubs and all. However, Danger Mouse (and, in fairness, an older, calmer RHCP line-up) have put a track that lacks most elements that first endeared listeners to the group.

The first 30 seconds of the track, which are propelled by muted bass, clean guitar and hi-hat pattering, sound like inoffensive instrumental music written to underscore the trailer of a political thriller film. After the initial swell, Flea’s funky bassline and Kiedis’ characteristic stuttering vocals

cut in to truly usher in the track. Unfortunately, both musicians’ contributions sound merely like lackluster imitations of their previous work.

Strings and piano are the most conspicuous additions to the band’s toolkit, and feature prominently at a break that occurs around the three minute-mark. At that moment, the overwhelming strangeness that nags at the listener throughout “Dark Necessities” bubbles over. Are the Red Hot Chili Peppers even trying to still write rock tracks?

Still, if RHCP are still trying to crank out rock releases, “Dark Necessities” falls short. And if they’re instead aiming for mainstream, toothless rock-pop, well, it falls short as well. Perhaps the single was an odd choice to evidence the type of material to expect from The Getaway. If not, however, RHCP listeners must face the same concern as many fans as aging rock bands and consider that their once rebellious heroes have become complacent in the studio.

Where have the rapid-fire lyrics, distorted riffs and hyperactive funk drumming that once defined the Red Hot Chili Peppers gone? Perhaps we will find out later this year, but I fear listeners will be disappointed.

Alicia Keys “In Common” RCA Records

Whenever artists take moderately lengthy hiatuses between projects, suspicion inevitably arises as to what their next release will bring. A period working on side projects might bring about a radical shift away from the creator’s previous ethos (think Fall Out Boy’s radical mainstream shift on Save Rock and Roll). Alternatively, a break from the demands of touring and recording can bring about an inspired, reinvigorated release. Consequently, Alicia Keys’ single — “In Common” — that was released leading up to her first release in four years granted fans a first peek at how Keys intends to frame her new work.

In truth, “In Common” does not fall neatly into

either category outlined above. Keys undoubtedly has her finger on the pulse of recent pop releases.

The pulsing, understated beat of “In Common” calls to mind Rihanna’s current mega-hit “Work,” while her confessional lyrics fall in live with Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself ” (and countless other pop hits, without a doubt). Above all else, the constant of Keys’ music — her always exemplary ability to convery rich, aching emotion through her voice — has not wavered.

The ultimate strength of “In Common,” however, lies in its lyrics. Keys throws a head-fake at the listener. At first she seems to politely break up with a former lover, singing, “We got way too much in

common/If I’m being honest with you.” However, Keys then reveals the painful, relatable heart of the track: insecurity. Keys weaves a multi-layered skein of connection, fear of intimacy and complicated love. “If you could love somebody like me,” Keys concludes, “You must be messed up too.”

If Keys pursues this intimate, honest take throughout the rest of her album, it will undoubtedly continue the trend of heart-baring, beautiful pop music. In essence, Keys has not left, but rather expanded upon her incredibly powerful voice.

Shay Collins is a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Steve Gunn “Into You” Matador Records

Steve Gunn makes music that’s meant to be forgotten — the new single off of his new album Eyes on the Lines, “Ancient Jules,” is no exception.

“Ancient Jules” positions the singer/songwriter (see, even his most fitting moniker is as used up and vapid as any genre-label in the popular canon could be) squarely in line with a whole dynasty of ephemeral strummers and justbarely-good-enough lyricists: think Willie Nile, think Mark Knopfler solo, think latter-day ex-

Byrds, think Kurt Vile. Yeah, think Kurt Vile especially. They cut an album together just last year, and, among other similarities that all surely spring out of not having that many ideas, they both have a certain proclivity for making songs that are about twice as long as they should be.

Although, Vile likes to wear that guitar playing more on his sleeve and put it higher in the mix, and he feels more comfortable getting a little edgier in the lyric department than such ingrained rock-“poetic” platitudes as “You were

lost / on the road from a different way/pushed too far/miles away” (a real lyric from either “Ancient Jules” or just about any other guitarrock track since 1972).

That’s not to say it doesn’t sound nice; something as innocuous as a six-string-fronted, PG rated wander ballad in 2016 really can’t be anything but pleasant. It’s just boring as hell, man.

Cornell - Oxford Study Provides Insights on Morality, Trust

By MARY NATTAKOM Sun Staff

Imagine there are five railroad workers stuck on a track and a train is quickly approaching. You have the chance to save these five people, but you would have to push someone else in front of the train to stop it. Would you do it?

In a recent study co-authored by Prof. David Pizarro, psychology, researchers found that people can judge trustworthiness based on answers to a hypothetical moral dilemma like this one. The results of this study were published in Journal of Experimental Psychology: General last month.

Researchers from Cornell and Oxford University asked over 2,400 participants if they would be willing to kill one innocent person to save five others. They then asked participants to play an economic game to evaluate trust. Participants were required to lend money to people who either answered yes or no to the moral dilemma question and then asked how likely they thought they were to get the money back.

Regardless of the participant’s answer to the moral dilemma, participants overwhelmingly answered that someone who was willing to kill someone to save five others would also be less likely to give them their money back.

“Even in these hypothetical dilemmas, people are more likely to trust somebody who refuses to do something for the greater good,” Pizarro said.

These findings indicate that participants found these

about trusting other people,” Pizarro noted.

Many of daily actions are fundamentally based on trust. Driving on a public road implicitly requires trusting other drivers to obey traffic rules. Accepting a credit card or a check as payment relies on trust in other people to make those payments later.

“So much of human society exists because people have been willing to trust each other and cooperate on things,” Pizarro said.

Because of its integral role in shaping society, trust has become an interesting topic of study.

Whether it be figuring out who to start a business with or who to date, finding cues to “The big question is how determine if someone is trustworthy is critical do we determine that other to navigating our social world. People look for “signals that you are the kind of person who people are trustworthy? cares about fairness and loyalty, who has empaOur whole lives are about thy” Pizarro said. This study reveals one of the multiple cues we use to make that judgment. trusting other people.”

According to Pizarro, the study illustrates that we evaluate others not only on actions but Prof. David Pizarro on their judgments as well.

people to be less trustworthy.

The study also revealed a unique exception.

Individuals who said they would sacrifice one to save many were consistently deemed less trustworthy.

“However, if you report that you made a decision [to kill one person in order to save five] with great difficulty, then people are less mistrusting of you” Pizarro said.

Understanding why this is the case is a little trickier.

Although the majority of people would refuse to push someone in front of a train, there are rational arguments

Student Team Designs Earthquake Resistant Buildings for Competition, Wins Third Prize

By ARNAV GHOSH Sun Contributor

If you’ve ever seen footage of enormous buildings swaying uncontrollably during an earthquake or actually felt the Earth opening under your feet, you would know just how terrifying an earthquake can be. For people in earthquake prone areas who have to endure the natural phenomena on a regular basis, it is important that their homes are safer and more resilient. A project team at Cornell aims to help with that.

Cornell University Seismic Design Team, started in 2013, works to model and prototype earthquake resilient buildings as part of an annual competition, Undergraduate Seismic Design Competition, organized by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute. For the competition, various national and international teams submit a prototype of a building capable of withstanding varying earthquake magnitudes within certain architectural constraints.

“The goal is to maximize structural resilience of the building while at the same time taking into account other factors such as maximizing building income and minimizing weight,” said Sean Thompson ’18, architectural lead.

Over three years, the team has been evolving its design to ensure that its prototype doesn’t collapse in these testing scenarios that can mimic a magnitude eight earthquake. As Thompson notes, experimentation is key to the team’s philosophy. In the 2015 competition, the team added shear walls — thin plaques inserted between columns to minimize sideways movement — to their design.

“Though a fairly common structural component in areas prone to seismic activity, adding them [shear walls] may have actually lead to the collapse of the structure,” Thompson said. “And once your prototype collapses, it’s automatically placed in a much lower category.”

However, they learnt from this setback and the team managed to place third in this year’s competition that was held in Sans Francisco, California. Much of this success goes to the team’s decision to add supercolumns — four columns connected by diagonal braces — to its prototype.

“This is something that we came up with ourselves.

The main reason you won’t find it in too many buildings is that it does cut a little into the floor space that is available,” Sean said.

To support such innovation, the team is divided into three sub-teams — structural design team, constr uction IMAGE COURTESY OF SEAN THOMPSON

team and architecture team — each of which perfects a different aspect of the building.

The structural design team works to generate building models and uses simulation software to carefully tweak each to perform optimally. Since the team also has to demonstrate its ability to construct these structures, a construction team overlooks the design and

manufacturing of each component.The architecture team works to design the building with regards to aesthetic appeal and ensures that it abides by the constraints posed by the competition.

The prototypes often have to account for various requirements like certain floors need to be double the height of the others or elements like restaurants need to be included. Part of the competition’s philosophy is to force teams to design earthquake proof buildings that can be used in real environments. This often means that compromising on aesthetics and functionality is impossible.

“We have to satisfy this main requirement to make sure the building withstands these quakes but at the same time we also have these other very real architectural requirements that can sometimes conflict with the structural integrity,” Thompson said.

Despite the team’s success in overcoming many such challenges, Sean is adamant that there are significant obstacles left to tackle.

“We hope to carry out more design analysis and construct several test structures,” Thompson said. “We would use these tests to ensure that the actual software that models deflections is as accurate as possible because in the past we’ve seen error rates of 40 percent.”

Daniel Wilentz ’16, team lead, said that it was extremely satisfying to see their team survive the three shake table tests. He also emphasized the need to help spread awareness about seismology ideas and concepts.

“Our goals are to instil knowledge regarding earthquake engineering within Cornell's engineering community and foster a stronger desire on campus to learn about seismology,” Wilentz said.

For future semesters, the team hopes to be involved with the wider community by hosting quizzes and trivia that as Thompson puts it, “inspires youngsters to explore the fascinating world of structural design.”

Growing up in Chico, Garrett said he didn’t even think about college as an option. He started on the mat in eighth grade, which was late for someone who’s competed at such a high level collegiately.

“My mom didn't let me do it for a while because she was afraid that I was going to get a disease or mat herpes or something, which I do have,” Garrett said. “But it's not that serious I guess.”

Soon, Garrett’s natural athleticism, his cheetah-like quickness, his Adonis-like strength, took over and he became one of the best wrestlers in the state. When he was recruited to Cornell, he had no idea what he was getting into.

“It should’ve been one of those, woah Cornell University, but I was like, “What?
