Dozens of Cornellians,Ithacans Attend Philadelphia Papal Mass By LAUREN KELLY
Approximately 165 members of the Cornell and local Ithaca Catholic communities traveled to Philadelphia to attend Pope Francis’ World Meeting of Families Papal Mass Sunday, joining hundreds of thousands of Catholics. Students, faculty and staff members traveled in three buses for five hours to attend the mass in Philadelphia and returned early Monday morning, according to Joseph Mazzawi, Cornell Catholic Community associate director of programs and ministries. The trip, which was organized by the Cornell Catholic Community and St. Catherine’s of Siena Catholic Church, a local Ithaca parish, is the first time such a large number of
Cornell Catholic students have traveled together, according to Mazzawi. “Not during my time have we done something like this before,” Mazzawi said. “Every year a handful of students go with the local church’s buses down to Washington, D.C. or we’ll send around a dozen students to service trips, but we have never directly sponsored such a large pilgrimage to such a large event.” Students who journeyed to Philadelphia said attending the Mass was a spiritual experience that helped connect them to the larger Catholic community. “[When] you go to something like this and realize ‘Wow, the Catholic Church is spread across the globe and we are all See POPE page 4
Demonstrators Recall Student Disappearance By ZACHARY SILVER Sun Contributor
Around 25 students and professors gathered at the doors of Olin Library Saturday afternoon for a die-in demonstration to bring awareness to the disappearance of 43 students in Iguala, Mexico last September. After gathering, demonstrators laid silently on the ground of the Olin lobby for a 43 second die-in. In addition to the die-in, the activists also held signs that read “Justicia para México” and “They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.” Following the die-in, the demonstrators gathered in a circle outside of the library and shared stories on how important it is to keep these events in the public eye. “We wanted Cornell students to realize that there are issues going on in the world and it’s important for them to speak out on them,” said Tiffany Fotopoulos ’18, one of the event organizers.

A 20-year old man reportedly fell from the roof of a Cornell fraternity house Wednesday night, according to the Ithaca Police Department. Jamie Williamson, public information officer for the IPD, said the man fell about 10 to15 feet from the roof of the fraternity, which is located on Ridgewood Road. Although Williamson could not speak to the seriousness of the man’s injuries, he said that when emergency teams arrived, the man was conscious and complaining of back pain. “He was conscious but not alert, breathing and moaning but not able to speak initially,” Williamson said. Williamson said no alcohol or drugs played a role in the incident and there is currently no suspicion of foul play. The Ithaca Fire Department, Bangs Ambulance, Cayuga Heights Fire Department and Ithaca Police Department all responded to the fall. After emergency teams arrived, the man was transported by a Bangs Ambulance to a landing zone and was later taken to a regional trauma center by helicopter, according to Williamson.

Police Issue Crime Alerts After Stalking, Burglary Police issued crime alerts to the Cornell community after reports of a stalking incident Wednesday night and burglary with an attempted sex crime early Sunday morning. A student who was walking home on Campus Road near the intersection of West Avenue around 1:30 a.m. said an unfamiliar man drove up beside her and asked if he could give her a ride home. After she refused to get in his vehicle, he continued to pressure her. The student then asked him to leave her alone, but he continued to follow her, police say. The student described the driver of the vehicle — a silver Lexus SUV — as being around 40 years of age and having dark, short hair, according to police. She said she was able to get him to leave by threatening to call police. Police are currently following up on the incident and are attempting to identify and track down the suspect, according to the University. On Sunday afternoon, another student reported to police that an unidentified man “entered his apartment” in the 300 block of Bryant Ave. at 3 a.m. and “attempted to remove the undergarments of a sleeping female,” according to police. The male suspect fled the residence when the male and female woke. Police believe the suspect to be male, approximately six feet tall and 155 pounds, according to the University. A criminal investigation is underway. —Compiled by Paulina Glass and Annie Bui
