Plans to pursue cancer care applications

By SUN STAFF

Cornell University is partnering with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to open a new $10 million Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence aimed at integrating nanotechnology into cancer care applications, the University announced Thursday.

The center, called the MSKCCCornell Center for Translation of Cancer Nanomedicines, will focus on using nanotechnology to treat skin and brain cancers. Nano-

technology deals with the manipulation of matter on atomic and subatomic scales, and thus can be useful in targeting the genetic abnormalities that lead to cancerous growths.

The Cornell-MSKCC Center is made possible by a $8.2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute’s Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer. Sloan Kettering then added more than $1.9 million, according to the University. The center’s operation will span between New York City See NANOTECH page 5

SJP Chalkings Reportedly Erased by Bailey Hall Staff

By JEANETTE SI Sun Staff Writer

Activists from Students for Justice in Palestine faced resistance when, as they were chalking outside of Bailey Hall on Sept. 18, a Bailey Hall worker reportedly asked them to stop and then erased the chalkings.

The activists were first approached by a Bailey Hall staff member when they were chalking on the steps outside the hall, according to Hadiyah Chowdhury ’18, an SJP member.

“He didn’t really tell us to go away outright, but he said to ‘be kind,’” Chowdhury said. “We told

Chowdhury said the activists had wanted the chalk to be visible to attendees of President Elizabeth Garrett’s inaugural panel discussion, “Democracy and Inequality,” which took place at 3 p.m. in Bailey Hall that afternoon.

Joel Malina, vice president for University relations, said the Bailey Hall staff acted at their own discretion during this incident. He added that the SJP activists had used crude language in their chalk.

“Some [chalk] messages included language that many might find

profane,” Malina said. “Out of respect for the century-old campus landmark and the celebratory nature of the day, staff members at Bailey Hall, on their own initiative, chose to remove the chalk messages prior to a late afternoon event at that location.”

Matthew Battaglia ’16, chair of the University Assembly, said the SJP activists’ actions were compliant with the Campus Code of Conduct, despite their coarse language.

“As far as the code is concerned, crude speech is protected, like anything else. And [after] speaking See SJP page 5

DSoc Dept.Celebrates Centennial

By JOHNNY LEVENFIELD Sun Contributor

In celebration of its 100 year anniversary, the Department of Development Sociology will welcome alumni back to the Hill this weekend for a two-day event.

Housed within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, development sociology focuses on research and applied work in current political, economic, cultural and social change. The department has a graduate program, consisting of about 40 students, and an undergraduate major in which 128 students are enrolled.

The celebration, set to take place Friday and Saturday, will revolve around the theme of “Looking Back to Move Forward.” Several alumni will speak on panels that concern both the past and future of development sociology.

Prof. Julie Zimmerman ’97, rural sociology, University of Kentucky, who was tasked with writing a monograph to commemorate the occasion, will deliver the opening speech Friday, highlighting the department’s history.

The department, which was the brainchild of Liberty Hyde Bailey and Albert Mann, was founded in 1915 under the name rural social organization. In 1939, the department changed its name to rural sociology before settling on development sociology in 2000.

Prof. David Brown, a former chair of development sociology who has served in the department for 28 years, said he believes the name “rural sociology” was too narrowly focused, given the rise of urbanization.

“We live in an urban world,” he said. “So you can’t deny the importance of urbanization and urban places to development processes. So we felt that rural sociology was too restrictive.”

Louise Silberling M.S. ’92, who is currently finishing her Ph.D. in the department, said the name change demonstrated a more global focus for the department.

“Whereas rural sociology was meant to focus on the

United States and looking at rural society here, we started expanding into international issues and international development issues in particular,” she said.

Despite its name changes and evolution since 1915, members of the department said it has consistently remained a leader in the field. One of the department’s strong points is its flexibility, which Paul Berry grad called “a central and defining characteristic” of the program. It was this flexibility that Zimmerman said allowed her to study in key influencers in several different fields.

“That absolutely influenced my breadth and depth,” Zimmerman said. “Another central feature of the department is its consistent demand for excellence.”

Berry added that faculty-student relations is another aspect that sets the department apart.

“Our department has a very collegial mentality,” Berry said. “The faculty really take the graduate student perspective seriously and try to modify and create the best program.”

Silberling noted that this collaborative spirit is particularly advantageous to graduate students, as they frequently have the opportunity to jointly publish papers with professors. “[Cornell] has this very long term, very deep reach within the world of international development,” Silberling said.

“We have a very long history of relationships with international development institutions.”

On its centennial anniversary, students, professors and alumni are celebrating the department’s progress.

“It’s a testament to the sort of work our professors and students do,” Ryan Nehring grad said. “Doing really critical work and challenging the status quo.”

For Brown, the centennial presents an opportunity to both celebrate the work that has been done and strategize about development sociology’s future trajectory.

“Now we need to think about what’s next, what’s the future of the department, and what kinds of issues are of increasing importance,” Brown said. “What are the emerg-

ing issues within the whole scholarship and discourse on development, and how can sociological research contribute to understanding those issues.”

Just as the field has evolved in the past, members of the department are aware that more change is inevitable. Still, students like Berry say they are confident about its future.

“We don’t know what the future will hold, but I think this program has demonstrated a flexibility around a changing academic and outside world, and I think that will continue,” Berry said. “There is exciting work to be done.”

U.S.-Latin American Relations Committee Turns 50

By KYLE OEFELEIN Sun Contributor

The Committee on United States-Latin American Relations, a Cornell-based organization focused on promoting social justice in the Americas, will commemorate its 50th anniversary this weekend with a variety of panels, discussions and lectures.

Since its founding in 1965, CUSLAR has impacted a variety of communities, from teaching Spanish language classes to local Ithaca families to resettling political refugees from Chile to Ithaca.

Bill Rogers, who was Cornell’s current University chaplain, founded CUSLAR with several Cornell students in 1965 against a backdrop of political unrest. At the time, the United States government often

intervened in the politics of Latin American countries, involving itself in the CIA-backed coup in Brazil in 1964 and in the Dominican Republic’s stifled revolution in

“You have to look deeper under the surface to see what is going on.”

Tim Shenk 1965, according to the committee.

CUSLAR harnessed existing campus unrest to educate the community further on the relationship between the United States government and Latin American countries.

According the newsletter, Cornellians were “incensed” by the United States govern-

ment’s support to authoritarian regimes.

Since its inception, CUSLAR has continued to deal with political issues between the United States and Latin America.

According to Tim Shenk, CUSLAR’s coordinator, the committee and Friends of Chile helped to resettle dozens of political prisoners in the 1970s to the Ithaca area after a Chilean coup against the Unidad Popular, or Popular Party Government, which was led by elected socialist President Salvador Allende. The committee also led delegations in the 1980s to Nicaragua after the fall of its dictatorship, communicating directly with the Nicaraguan people.

Last spring, the organization led a trip to Washington D.C. to lobby Congress, intending to convince legislators to denounce a 2002 Paraguayan massacre. The program has

also partnered with Cornell University to organize eight week study abroad programs focusing on global health and systems of care in the Dominican Republic.

While CUSLAR has remained active at Cornell since its inception, Shenk said many of the issues the committee deals with have shifted away from the controversies of direct government intervention to current economic disparities in the Latin American region.

“Now I think decisions that are affecting the region are not being made as much by elected representatives but rather by the private sector, changing our strategy,” Shenk said.

Shenk said that while relations between the United States and Latin America are no See CUSLAR page 4

S.A. Votes to Ban Extra Credit Incentives for Study Groups

By DAVID TICZON Sun Staff Writer

Students in the College of Arts and Sciences may soon be freed from the obligation of attending study groups. Citing the need to differentiate teaching methods according to individual needs, the Student Assembly voted over-

whelmingly Thursday to ban the practice, and will send the resolution to the Education Policy Committee for a final decision.

The resolution, Affirming Learning Style Diversity in Introductory Science Course, proposed the removal of penalties incentivizing students to enroll in unofficial study groups.

VARUN HEGDE / SUN CONTRIBUTOR

Re-group | The Student Assembly votes Thursday to disallow the use of extra credit to incentivize study group participation.

“We encourage professors to organize study groups, but we do not think it should be mandatory or grade incentivized,” said Gabriel Kaufman ’18, undesignated at large representative.

This issue is especially pertinent to the thousands of students enrolled in science courses, which often rely heavily on study groups to advance curricula goals.

“Thousands of students in specific courses, like Introduction to Biology: Comparative Physiology and General Chemistry I are offered the ‘extra credit’ equivalent to approximately a full letter grade worth of points if they attend weekly study groups,” the resolution said.

However, the resolution said that because science classes are usually graded on a curve, denying extra credit to some students is the practical equivalent of penalizing them. If you refuse to go to a study group and miss out on extra credit, you will have a disadvantage compared to your classmates, which

will put you lower on the curve and yield a lower overall grade.

Members of the SA sponsoring the resolution polled 180 students on whether they thought study groups should be incentivized with higher grades. The results revealed that 39.56 percent of students polled completely agreed with making study groups optional, 25.82 percent agreed, 17.58 percent had mixed feelings, 7.69 percent disagreed and 9.34 percent completely disagreed.

Emma Johnston ’16, executive vice-president, said the poll represented too small a sample size to give a meaningful indication of the effect of incentivized study groups.

“You had 180 people take your survey, but in this semester alone there about 1,700 students in [study groups],” Johnston said. “...

You need a little more proof and to ask students particularly what they want instead of study groups.”

However, Johnston said she supported the substance of the resolution, and voted in favor of it.

She later added that she thinks a broader show of community support would have proven beneficial when the resolution’s sponsors have to convince the Education Policy Committee to make the changes they suggest.

Matthew Stefanko ’16, S.A. vice president for finance, alone voted against the resolution, defending the idea that students should be rewarded for attending study groups with better grades.

“I am still not sold on this idea of a free market education philosophy because we actually have data that people who go to this do better in the course,” Stefanko said. “I am not about to let Representative Kaufman, as much as I respect him, interpret this data to say that this is wrong for X, Y and Z reason.”

The resolution passed by a vote of 22-1-2, with two community votes counting in favor.

longer peppered with such overt instances of political interference, government interference is still evident.

“A lot, in terms of the economic structure, hasn’t changed,” Shenk said. “You have to look deeper under the surface to see what is going on, there is that continuity as well as change.”

While CUSLAR has made many notable accomplishments in the last 50 years, Shenk said he believes its most lasting impact may be its alumni.

“Our legacy, I think, is our people,” Shenk said. “And one of the things that I’m really excited about for this weekend is that we will have a lot of people in all stages of their life … who are making significant contributions assisting Latin America and around the region in human rights and in teaching and scholarship.”

Many past members of CUSLAR continue to stay involved in the field, including Alicia Swords, CUSLAR board member and professor of sociology at Ithaca College.

“It is through CUSLAR that I had first hand connections to get to know community and international leaders from Latin America, whose work both inspired me and helped me understand the realities

of the world I knew I wanted to be involved in,” Swords said.

The organization continues to bring new interns into the community, drawing students who may one day continue the legacy of those who came before them.

“I hadn’t had the opportunity to learn a lot about Latin America through school, but through our pre-departure seminar and my experience in the Dominican Republic I’ve become very interested in Latin American history,” said CUSLAR student intern Julia Smith ’15, who hopes to pursue a career in global public health after graduation.

Smith, in addition to her normal duties, is helping to prepare for the 50th anniversary celebration this weekend, which many alumni are returning to Cornell to attend.

At the anniversary celebration, CUSLAR members and alumni will convene to commemorate its past accomplishments and discuss what is on the horizon for the organization, Shenk said.

The events will take place this Friday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in Barnes Hall Auditorium and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Founders Room of Anabel Taylor Hall.

Grad Students Move to Unionize GRADUATE

their relationship with the university is primarily educational,” Malina said. “As a result, they do not have the right to union representation or to engage in collective bargaining. Cornell will follow the law.”

Malina added that, in the case that federal law changes to allow recognition of graduate students as employees, Cornell graduate assistants would be able to unionize only if such action were approved

“through the appropriate process, which may include a legally sanctioned election should a sufficient number of graduate students request one.”

“The last time this choice was presented, in 2002, Cornell graduate student assistants voted against union representation,” he said.

While CGSU and the AFT have not determined how exactly their relationship will play out in the future, Ingoldsby said he hopes AFT will be able to “furnish [CGSU] both with expertise and physical resources for our unionization push.”

He added that some of the physical resources the AFT might provide Cornell graduate students include office space and access to labor professionals in addition to the AFT’s expertise in organizing teachers in higher education.

Weingarten added that as an alumna of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations, she hopes the University’s administration will have a “productive” dialogue with CGSU. “I am confident the CGSUAFT can set the example for graduate employee relations across the country,” Weingarten said. “While there are real issues, CGSU wants a productive relationship with the Cornell administration; we hope Cornell does as well.”

Earlier in the semester, President Elizabeth Garrett announced a number of graduate student initiatives that included doubling funds for student child care grants, creating new student-centered graduate housing, providing workers’ compensation to injured graduate and professional students, raising the minimum stipend for research interns and reducing sixth and seventh year doctoral student tuition to $3,500 per year.

New Center to Combine Nanotech,Cancer Care C.U. to partner with Memorial Sloan Kettering NANOTECH

and Ithaca — its Manhattan base will be in Sloan Kettering and its Ithaca counterpart will be housed in Duffield Hall.

“We couldn’t be more proud to have this center supporting the partnership between Cornell and MSKCC,” Engineering Dean Lance Collins said in a University press release.

The center’s operations will be based in research on the “development and translation of Cornell dots, or C dots – silicaorganic hybrid nanoparticles smaller than 10 nanometers in size designed to either adhere to and light up cancer cells or quickly leave the body,” the University said. Early clinical trials have indicated that C dots may lead to a “transformative research and development of new clinically promising classes of nanoparticles and their applications in cancer diagnostics, surgery and targeted drug delivery,” according to the University.

C dots are a Cornellian creation — invented more than decade ago, they are the product of work by Prof. Uli Wiesner, materials science and engineering. Weisner will co-direct the center with Prof. Michelle Bradbury, radiology, Weill Cornell Medical College, director of intraoperative imaging at MSKCC. Weisner said in the release that, after more than 10 years of work on C dots, he finds it “very rewarding” to see it “now all coming to fruition.”

While little is currently known about the practical implication of C dots on cancer treatment, early trials have shown them to be successful in detecting melanoma metastases, and clinical trials attempting to discern their value in brain cancer treatment are ongoing.

“This moment is the culmi-

nation of many years of innovative work by many exceptional researchers at both institutions.

Without the foundational success of C dots, we likely would not have been successful with the grant,” Collins said.

The center will focus purely on pre-clinical research rather than clinical application, according to the release.

However, it plans to partner with a start-up which will then raise funds to help turn the center’s research into clinical success with human patients.

Weisner emphasized the difficulty of translating this kind of theoretical research into concrete patient care, and said that the center is an important step in achieving tangible results from C dot development.

“You can’t do this alone,” Wiesner said in the release.

“The medical community doesn’t have enough know-how of nanomaterials, and we, the scientists and engineers, don’t have enough experience in the medical area. But to keep a team together for over 10 years to successfully translate an idea from conception to human clinical trials is not easy.”

Instead, the center will work on examining the “core science behind C dots.” They will also work on creating different colored particles that may be able to help surgeons identify tumors during surgery and investigate whether C dots can be used to treat tumors as well as detect them.

“This is a stamp of approval by the research and medical communities that the early risk we took by focusing solely on sub-10 nanometer particles for clinical translation in the field of cancer nanomedicine was the right decision,” Wiesner said.

with people throughout the administration as well as people in the assembly, [we all agreed] that what [SJP] did was considered protected,” Battaglia said.

“They were peaceful, they were simply chalking — they did not break any of the rules about chalking.”

Malina said the actions of the Bailey Hall staff were not representative of the University. He also promised to communicate with Cornell staff so that future incidents like this can be avoided.

“No one within the Cornell Administration directed this action, nor do we support this action,” Malina said. “Among the highest values that must be honored at any academic institution, and throughout any free society,

is the open and active exchange of ideas. Political ideas, even if expressed crudely, must receive our highest level of protection.”

Battaglia agreed with this viewpoint and added that the erasure of the chalkings was the result of an unfortunate miscommunication between administration and staff.

“I think it really was an accident. I think the staff at Bailey Hall didn’t know that what [SJP] was doing was protected. I know for a fact that they have been since told that what was being done was permissible,” he said.

“But [this incident] was valuable in that the staff at Bailey now understand what is permissible and what is not, so that moving forward, they’ll be fine.”

A T

BY TROY SHERMAN Sun Staff Writer

By the time Wednesday night swung around, a day of abstract classes and abject meetings had left me feeling like my spirit had been ripped from my body and like my body was dejectedly content with walking from thing to revolving thing out of obligation or boredom, rather than necessity or desire. So when the clock ticked away my day’s final compulsion, I was more than ready to book it down to the commons in the hope that Wilco would be able to concoct a sound or two that’d staple my mind and body back together again — and maybe even convince them to get along for awhile.

I picked up my ticket (I attended solo) and located my seat a few rows back from the stage — to the left of which was situated a commandingly large armrest-commondeerer, and to the right of which was an empty chair, which remained conspicuously devoid of life for the entire night. I sat back into my seat’s cushion, and, in waiting for the opener, devoted some time to scrutinizing the backs of my hands and the oppressively full State Theatre. The former were unremarkable and a little hazy in the slightly dimmed lights and synesthetic confusion of some 2,000 voices chattering. The latter was brimming and churning with people, the vast majority of whom (to my modest surprise, as I thought Wilco had a greater millennial appeal) were middle aged and very, very hyped on the prospect of seeing Wilco.

Eventually the lights dimmed, and the crowd — apparently still not ready to quiet down for the night despite the accession of William Tyler, our opener, to the sole stool up on the stage — kept on talking. Tyler was unflashy in appearance and silent as he picked up his guitar and plunged headlong into his first composition (which he told us after the fact was called “Missionary Ridge,” about driving through the hills of Tennessee).

Having not listened to Tyler before the show, I don’t know what I was expecting out of a Wilco opener; All I can say is that it wasn’t American Primitivism. Tyler, from what I could tell by the four songs he played, has taken this guitar tradition (the brainchild of John Fahey, Leo Kottke, and Robbie Basho, developed some 50 years ago) and, if not updated it, kept it interesting and captivating.

The problem, often, with dazzling guitar techniques like his is that, despite the fact that American Primitivism is a wedding of the intellectual (classical music) and traditional (folk and blues music), it is very, very easy for a guitarist, who has the ability to blur his hands in celerity without missing a note, to remove himself, in his technicality, from both the intellectually captivating and the everyday human aspects of his craft. Not so for Tyler. As his left hand raced across the neck and his right hand’s fingers jigged excitedly on the strings, never missing their mark. He coaxed from his axe (which was acoustic for two tracks and electric for the rest) the kind of melodies that I’m sure the Gods must folkdance to. His playing, fast and sure, reeked of the folksy spatiality that differentiates Primitivism from Electroacoustic and New Age; motifs were repeatedly grasped onto, tossed around in pastoral playfulness and released into liberated sonority as they wilted, gradually wrested from our minds by new and increasingly exciting ideas, slowly to the floor.

And as he played — his head slowly thrashing about like it was floating in the sounds he was making — I progressively felt more and more like I knew him. His songs were wordless and he, when talking in between them, didn’t say much of substance, but something about his playing — the way it could come alive, envelop and flutter around the room — told me everything about him: that he has dreams he thinks he’ll never achieve, that he’s lonely, that he can’t help but feel

the rush of the earth past him while he’s standing still, that his art is all that can reel him back into reality when his head starts drifting into the ether or into the doldrums.

Hell if I know if any of that is even close to being true about him, though. I guess all I do know is that William Tyler built a bridge for me with his music that let me push all that buildup in my own brain onto him. And for that, his short little set was fantastic.

All good things must end, though, and after his last song and a brief bow he ceded to a soundcheck. I mulled about the State’s orchestra for awhile in mild anticipation, glad that all the components of my being’s totality were at least a little reigned in and yoked together after Tyler’s set. I was still, however, hoping that Wilco could continue to change the course of my Wednesday for the better; if not in the same manner as Tyler then definitely to the same degree.

Feeling a hint more lucid than before, I turned around and really tried to take in the crowd: It was comprised, in order of descending frequency, of unsettlingly amorous couples between the ages of 45 and 55; drugged out dads with overgrown wires of hair calling attention simultaneously to their hazy eyes (vacant, I’m sure, from trips of yore), glistening scalps and cowboy hats; the kind of person who has trouble differentiating between dancing and yoga; pre-drunken gaggles of mid-30 year olds and (tied for last place) college students and the slumberous elderly. But before I could come to any conclusions about what exactly this kind of spread implicated, the lights cut out and the crowd erupted. Wilco was

gracing the stage.

They burst into “EKG,” the first track off of their new album Star Wars, whose paradoxically appealing dissonance succeeded in getting everybody present ready to rumble. But as “EKG” transitioned into “More…” and “More…” and then “Random Name Generator,” a gloomy realization began to settle over me: Wilco was opening up the show by playing Star Wars (a decidedly unexciting, if listenable, attempt at staying cool) in its entirety.

And so the band cycled — wordlessly, almost as an obligation — through Star Wars’ 11 grueling tracks. There were brief spurts of interest or appeal scattered amidst the utterly boring opening 40 minutes of the set, but there wasn’t nearly enough music of substance to get the crowd out of their seats or me feeling interested. But it wasn’t that Tweedy and his cohorts were only playing music in which the crowd was markedly disinterested and to which nobody was emotionally connected — it was that they were playing this music without even attempting to cultivate a connection. They slogged through their new tracks removedly, unattached to the music they were playing and without taking breaks between tracks to greet the audience.

In my disconnected haze, this lack of an attempt to make any personal connection was almost affrontive. And it wasn’t

just because they were playing new material; it was because Wilco seemed inhuman. At its best, their sound is personable and relatable; it’s the zenith of the kind of music everybody feels like they could make in a garage with a few of their friends. Tweedy’s lyrics are written with a jumbled everyman vocabulary, and, when you listen to them, their songs almost come out of your speakers looking like Jeff Tweedy, such is the degree that he imbues every composition with his view of the world. But their performance of Star Wars was bereft of any points of connection between rock star and fan, and it left me sedentary like everyone else in the State, wishing for this show to hurry up and end.

That is, until the band finished “Magnetized” (the last track on Star Wars), and the lights went up while Jeff Tweedy approached the mic. “How’s it going everybody? I just wanted to check in and make sure you guys are having a good time.

We’re gonna keep playing, but I’ll just periodically check back in on you guys.” A flicker of humanity! And then, with Wilco out of new music to play, the lights turned purple and a magnetic shift occurred: “Handshake Drugs,” from A Ghost is Born.

With this, the night shifted from a dismal, pedantic showcase of mediocre music to a deluge of engaging, wellloved Wilco hits. An electrified version of “Kamera” followed, and pretty soon the crowd was starting to stand. A handful of classic Wilco cuts later and the entire venue was on its feet singing along with Tweedy to “Heavy Metal Drummer.”

Through the rest of their main set and both the first (“Spiders(Kidsmoke)”) and the second (a brilliant allacoustic roundup of favorites from “Misunderstood” to “California Stars”) encore, something began to dawn on me.

With the gloomy cloud that was their performance of Star Wars all but dissipated, Wilco succeeded at something which few artists ever really succeed at: creating a veritable connection with their audience. And I don’t mean the kind of connection that stems from a particularly chummy performeraudience relationship — any musician either beautiful or amicable enough can muster one of those with a flashy smile or show of wit. Nor do I mean a purely song-based connection, in which the audience relishes their beloved hits while a jaded performer churns them out.

No, I mean a slightly more unattainable connection than either of those: one which concocts a tenuous thread between performer and audience-member that is defined by its moderation of adoration on the part of the fan, and of starpower on the part of the performer. A connection which manifests itself in the uninhibited dancing of an audience that knows it doesn’t have to be dancing. A connection, in this particular and exemplary case, that was most tangible with 2,000 people from pretty disparate walks of life singing in unison that “All [They] Really Need is a Shot in the Arm.” A connection, in my case, between two people — myself and Jeff Tweedy — that blossomed from the fact that both of us have felt all the same stuff in the same way and for, at times, what are probably similar reasons; the only difference is that he decided to write it all down and perform it for us.

For every write-up such shows received in Juxtapoz and Artnet, there are far more images of Darren Criss sitting next to Dietrich Wegner’s sculpture of a woman being engulfed by a flock of seagulls. You can’t help but feel that Banksy enjoys the cult obsession with Dismaland in an unsettling way.

The quote that grounded my discomfort also appeared in Banksy’s Juxtapoz interview.

Dismaland, Banksy professed, was “truly global in scope and scale, you will find art from Israel and Palestine hanging side-by-side.”

The Gulf Labor Coalition’s protests at the Israeli pavilion at the Vienna Biennial evidence that even hanging Israeli and Palestinian art in the same exhibition is not Morning Bowl uncontroversial.

Letter to the Editor

In defense of student activism Editor’s note: The following is an open letter to President Garrett: Dear President Garrett: As you know, last semester the Cornell Police used threats of jail time and fabricated charges to intimidate students who voiced dissenting speech. Police, wearing armor and carrying guns, are a common sight at peaceful political demonstrations on Cornell’s campus. Nearly 100 faculty, joined by countless students and several media organizations, have condemned these activities. The Faculty Senate has launched an investigation into the malicious and potentially unlawful actions of the central administration and the campus police force.

Students on campus are rightfully asking: How will I be treated if I choose to exercise my fundamental freedom of speech in opposition to the central Cornell administration?

The events of last semester are the most recent development in a long history of police repression at Cornell, including the November 2012 incident in which campus police intimidated and used excessive force against students peacefully demonstrating on Ho Plaza. A faculty investigation found that police threatened unwarranted arrests and forced a student to the ground.

Students, faculty and workers have absolutely no formal power in challenging the actions of the Board of Trustees or central administration. Currently, neither student government nor faculty senate operate with any binding power; their resolutions are merely passed on to the administration “for consideration.” It is a great conceit of the administration to believe that it can operate the university in the public interest without democratic procedures.

President Garrett, as students, we have the right to participate in dissenting speech, discussion and expression. We demand that police do not intimidate or harass students engaged in peaceful political activity. As Cornell’s new president, what actions will you take to end police intimidation? What policy will you use in governing campus police interactions with students who are voicing dissenting ideas? This question is especially relevant in light of the use of police at USC. We hope to hear from you by Monday, September 28th. We look forward to your response.

Cruz’s Take On the Court

uring an interview with Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show” Monday night, U.S. Senator and Tea Party Stalwart Ted Cruz defended his views opposing same-sex marriage by confidently instructing Colbert that “under the Constitution, marriage is a question for the states.”

Does it matter that the United States Supreme Court decided otherwise in an historic decision it handed down in June? Not to Cruz. “I don't think we should trust governing our society to five unelected lawyers in Washington,” he responded to Colbert's prodding.

Was Cruz really suggesting we should ignore the Supreme Court? The branch of the federal government that is supposed to be coequal with the President and Congress? Would the Constitution, which Cruz so reveres, allow for such a thing?

It is easy for liberally minded people like myself to write Cruz off as an elementary demagogue who will say what his supporters want to hear. That may be true on occasion, but Cruz is a Harvard Law School graduate and former clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist. He knows what he is talking about when it comes to the Constitution.

Rather than spouting off conservative nonsense, Cruz is trying to reopen

This idea that the Court need not be the Constitution’s final arbiter is well-developed in the academic literature, but it is just that — academic. a debate that most believe was settled more than two hundred years ago: Just what powers, exactly, does the Supreme Court have to interpret the Constitution?

The Court addressed this question in the 1803 case Marbury v. Madison, when it held that it has the power of judicial review. Now ubiquitous, judicial review is the practice of invalidating an act of the legislative or executive branch as unconstitutional.

Judicial review is what ended segregation in schools. Judicial review is what promised that every indigent criminal defendant must be appointed an attorney. Judicial review is what determined that the Affordable Care Act is permissible, but only if we pretend the individual mandate is a tax. And of course, judicial review is what guaranteed all Americans could marry, regardless of their sexual orientation.

Certainly a great jurist like Cruz knows all of this. Surely he read Marbury while toiling away in Cambridge. Undoubtedly the topic of judicial review came up while Cruz was serving in Rehnquist’s chambers.

So what was he talking about on Colbert.

As it turns out, some scholars believe that, although Marbury is one of the most famous and important cases the Court has ever heard, our modern understanding of its holding is skewed. This is a radical position, but it is not unfounded.

Marbury is based on the now-obvious premise that the Constitution is superior to any act of Congress or the President, and therefore when the Constitution conflicts with subservient law, the Constitution must prevail.

From this premise, the Court concluded that because judges take an oath to uphold the Constitution, it is their duty to declare the Constitution to be superior to legislative law when the two conflict.

But some scholars have noted that although this law justifies judicial review, it does not necessarily follow that the Court must then be the final arbiter of the Constitution. For example, professor Michael Stokes Paulson argued in a 2003 Michigan Law Review article that under Marbury’s reasoning, the Court, Congress, the President and even the states have equal power to interpret the Constitution. Eventually, Paulson argues, this decentralized approach to constitutional interpretation would “produce a kind of general equilibrium,” and “[w]here an issue remains genuinely contested, and the several branches of government legitimately and in good faith continue to disagree, the issue should remain unsettled.”

Cruz’ assertions about same-sex marriage fit in well with this logic. He is essentially saying that he disagrees with the Court’s interpretation of the Constitution such that it forbids discriminating against same-sex couples, and a Cruz presidency would offer a different interpretation.

This idea that the Court need not be the Constitution's final arbiter is well-developed in the academic literature, but it is just that — academic (I would be amiss if I did not note the irony of a conservative searching through the depths of academia for a radical position to further his agenda). Changing course at this point in American history would reverse decades of a practice that has come to play a starring role in the American political institution.

In today's hyper-partisan world it is not difficult to imagine the chaos that would result if every county clerk got to decide for herself who has a constitutionally protected right to get married or if every new presidential administration got to decide whether the Constitution provides for birthright citizenship. Furthermore, such a scheme would greatly undermine the Court's important role as a protector of minority voices.

Cruz might be technically correct to suggest that states do not need to listen to the Supreme Court, but that does not make his seriously suggesting it any less radical. This may be an interesting topic of discussion for a law school constitutional law class, but it is out of place on the campaign trail where practical considerations should take priority.

Stepping Back A

few months ago, when “What are you doing this summer?” was a ubiquitous question, I was faced with a peculiar situation.

I planned to work at a prisonreform think tank, and whenever I would tell some of my more conservative friends, I would be met with a bit of skepticism.

In fact, back at home, when a neighbor heard what I was doing, he criticized Yale for turning me into a “liberal hippie.” While I’m not explicitly rejecting the label “hippie”— maybe being a philosophy major is enough to qualify me as one for most people — working in prison reform is certainly not the reason why that label should apply.

Based on the facts alone, prison reform ought to be an apolitical issue. The prison system as we currently have it is broken, and that’s a simple fact.

It’s expensive, and in the current system, re-entry and rehabilitation don’t work — recidivism rates remain incredibly high and the problem disproportionately affects particular minorities such as AfricanAmericans and Hispanics. The burden on taxpayers is huge, and cheaper, empirically substantiated alternatives remain underutilized.

These problems should align squarely with the conservative stance. From a fiscal perspective, we’d simply be saving money, and lots of it, full stop.

From a social perspective, redemption is a central theme in all of the Abrahamic religions. This is actually a point I heard this summer from a conservative reformer from Texas, a state that is actually a leader in the prison reform field today.

While it may surprise many to hear that Texas had problems in the past with the issue of criminal justice reform, the state is paving the way for nationwide reform.

And yet, perfectly intelligent people, both liberals and conservatives, often fail to see prison reform through an apolitical lens. Liberals claim the issue and conservatives often

cede this ground without a fight. I’m not saying this is universally true. There are obviously exceptional individuals on both sides who are trying to make criminal justice reform a bipartisan issue. But for an institution as self-reflective as Yale, the number of people who thoughtlessly label criminal justice as a liberal issue is disappointingly large.

But why is this the case?

Unfortunately, self-reflective people like Yalies may be more likely than most people to make this kind of mistake. A few years ago, Dan Kahan, a professor at the law school, authored a study that showed how intelligence actually corre-

of itself at Yale, can be dangerous when not employed honestly.

So what are we to do?

While I’m sure cognitive scientists and psychologists have proposed remedies, the best piece of advice I can offer is awareness. Take a moment to examine your views. It might be helpful to play devil’s advocate with your closely held assumptions. See if you can build a case against tax increases if you’re a card-carrying Democrat, or the case for gay marriage if you’re an evangelical conservative.

Yale is politically active, and that’s commendable, but we need to make sure that this

Too many of our most important issues — from climate change to prison reform — have already been tainted by political association. lates to polarization on culturally colored issues.

In other words, the more intelligent a person was, the more they could construe the same facts to fit their own worldview. And this makes sense. The smarter a person is, the more they can look at the same facts, and pick and choose the parts that fit their view in a convincing, even self-convincing, way.

When you don’t have any pre-formed biases towards an issue, intelligence is helpful for guiding someone to the truth.

But too many of our most important issues — from climate change to prison reform — have already been tainted by political association. In these cases, intelligence can be less than a tool for identifying the truth and more an instrument for reinforcing your existing biases.

As much as we would like to deny it, our own perception of the world is colored with personal views and subjective opinions. Intelligence, an attribute we often value in and

spirit doesn’t take away from rational consideration. All too often I hear the phrases “Why would I vote for him, he’s a Republican,” or “Isn’t that the project those crazy liberals support?”

Categories help us navigate the world. It helps us make sense of things, and without them we’d be helpless. But we should be acutely aware of this and work to first define people and issues by their own merit, and then categorize them, rather than instantly ascribing a category to a person and letting that do all the explanatory and substantive work.

To move forward, we first need to take a step back. We’re a group of fairly smart people, but unfortunately that only makes it harder to distance ourselves from our deeply rooted views. Yet, all the same, that makes it even more important that we do.

MANNY’S GHOST

YALE I, Manny’s ghost, am back from the grave (can ghosts even come back from the grave?) to give you the rundown on this week’s football game against Yale. All of the below facts, quotes and predictions have been communicated to me beyond the grave — not the best form of communication since lines tend to cross and I don’t have great hearing.

This weekend, in one the most anticipated football games of the season, Harvard Cornell will take on Yale to continue the oldest and most notable rivalry in college football (I say that with a lot of authority). The Crimson Red will travel to New Haven uncharacteristically early — as “The Game”

usually takes place in late November — to take on the Bulldogs on their home turf. Yale has struggled to take down the Crimson Maroon Scarlet Red in the past, winning only one game in the last decade. Thus, Harvard Cornell is feeling pretty confident.

“Last week’s win loss was a pretty strong game overall,” said Cornell quarterback Scott Hosch Robert Somborn. “I’m pretty sure we can go into this game and come out as top (bull)dog. It’s funny because they’re the Bulldogs. Put that in so the readers get it.”

Harvard Cornell head coach Tim Murphy David Archer ’05 has been focusing on strategy for the field, grade inflation and the Cambridge locals while prepping

Visualizing the Win I

am studying English and linguistics and I love how letters and the building blocks of sound can form words, units that grow into chains of resonance. I love how meaning can accumulate, start somewhere and layer extraordinary interpretations. Nothing is more satisfying or mind-numbingly beautiful as creating our own circumstances, and this is something we can do with language and the mental processes that accompany sports.

The world is so full of magic. We cannot forget this. When your sport is dominating you and putting you down, look outside the window, out past the markings of the field or the court. Know that there is escape and beauty and chance — things that make life lovely. On the ice, I would circle the perimeter 5,000 times before I worked up the nerve to pop (not rotate) another jump. It was aggravating. My coaches used to have me do laps, look out at the boards, try to get my mind off of the brutal frustration. Inhabit another world and give myself a fresh start.

I mentioned in my first column how identity plays a large role in the developing of mental illness surrounding athletics. So often we get locked into patterns and habits and all we need is a quick fix.

But we psych ourselves out — listen to things like Mind Games instinct and the voices in our heads. Our thoughts can take over our actions and control more than might be obvious.

Yet, we can harness our thoughts with the mental technique of visualization. How cool is it to construct your own circumstances, to see yourself do exactly what you want. It’s a fantastical play world where possibility is the only implication. Imagining past situations or future optimal ones can take on a variety of forms — visual, kinesthetic or auditory. Whatever the mode, constructive mental thoughts can impact performance.

Novak Djokovic, the world’s No. 1 ranked tennis player, claims his mental game as one of the greatest assets to his performance.

Dubbed the “Unloved Champion,” he has used his unpopularity to his advantage. When the crowds cheered for Roger Federer during his match at the 2015 Grand Slam, Djokovic said he imagined them screaming his name instead.

It’s a simple notion, but we must actively remember to not care about what anyone else thinks. The audience, the crowd — they are irrelevant to what you are doing. It’s always best to keep judgments out of your head while engaging in sports.

“I like to be in the creative spirit all the time,” Djokovic said in a New York Times article. “I think you either progress or regress, so it’s either going up or down. Everybody is moving, the people, our planet, so you either keep up with it or you just stay where you are.

But staying where you are, you actually regress.”

It’s important to align yourself with reality in a lot of ways, to be aware of progress and changes in your surroundings. There is so much pressure to keep up, but there is also precedent and an energy flow to help carry us.

“One of the ways is to kind of meditate, but not meditate with the intention of going away from those problems, but visualize,” Djokovic said in the same article. “Visualization is a big part of everybody’s life, not just athletes’, but everybody. I strongly believe in visualization. I believe that there is a law of attraction: You get the things that you produce in your thoughts. Life just works that way.”

This is a lovely sentiment about the powerful nature of our thoughts and their capability to extend themselves into the actual.

It’s a constant, something that we should learn to trust.

his team for this weekend’s game.

“I am proud to be coaching the Crimson, erm sorry, the Red — I always get so confused, they’re such similar shades — this weekend,” he said. “It is amazing to be a part of such a historic rivalry. Everyone should go rub the statue of John Harvard Touchdown today for good luck.”

While the Cambridge Ithaca weather has been in flux this last week, spiking at 80 degrees on Homecoming and settling down to a consistent low-70’s this week, the football team has not let the changing weather affect its game.

“Sometimes I like to stroll along the Charles Cayuga to get acclimated to the day’s weather,” said running back Blade Brady Luke Hagy. “Sweaters are a must as the leaves start changing and the air gets crisper.”

With a storied history of pranks and tomfoolery in general in honor of the Ivy League’s most famous

showdown each year, Harvard Cornell fans, especially the Lampoon the CU Nooz staff, have a lot in store this weekend for the Bulldogs, including a planned kidnapping of the Yale mascot, Handsome Dan. “I’m pretty sure Cornell Harvard has already done that,” a CU Nooz staff writer commented.

While Harvard Cornell fans tend to come out in the hundreds for the annual game against Yale, Yale fans are equally excited, gearing up to tailgate and enjoy the beautiful September day. I, Manny’s Ghost, was actually able to schedule an interview with Yale freshman Trip Buckington III, a Yale legacy going back five generations.

“Um, I thought we were playing Cornell,” Buckington said in response to our questions. “We don’t actually care about them, right? Didn’t they go 0-15 last year or something?”

Junior goalkeeper Kelsey Tierney has also been flawless so physical, emotional and psychological adjustments needed far, stopping any shots that manage to sneak through the following a hard Ivy match less than 48 hours earlier,” Farmer said. “It is always a tough test for the team to play back line.

Cornell will look to continue its undefeated season this a nonconference match the same weekend as an Ivy match, weekend, first with a game against Columbia (4-3-0) (0-0 and it will tell us even more about this current team.”
