ICE Arrests 3rd Ithacan in 2 Weeks

By NICHOLAS BOGELBURROUGHS Sun City Editor

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents descended on Ithaca, a

“[Arrests] are part of the Trump Administration’s strategy to divide our comunities.”

Beth Harris sanctuary city, on Tuesday and arrested an “unlawfully present foreign national” as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, the third man arrested by ICE in downtown Ithaca in two weeks.

Agents from ICE’s Homeland Security Investigation unit arrest-

ed the man, who has not been identified, around noon on Tuesday, according to ICE spokesperson Khaalid Walls and a local immigrant rights group.

The arrest came exactly two weeks after two Thai citizens were arrested by ICE in downtown Ithaca and less than a year after ICE arrested a Mexican citizen residing in Ithaca in a move that brought hundreds of people to the Ithaca Commons to protest the federal action.

The Rapid Response Network, a group formed by the Tompkins County Immigrant Rights Coalition to aid people detained by ICE or Customs and Border Patrol agents, responded to downtown Ithaca shortly after Tuesday’s arrest, Ithaca College Prof. Patricia Rodriguez, a member of the coalition’s steering committee, told The Sun.

“The ICE arrests of immigrants working in Ithaca are part of the Trump Administration’s strategy to divide our communities between those who ‘deserve’ human rights and those who do not,” the coalition said in a statement sent by Ithaca College Prof.

Beth Harris late on Wednesday.

“The Tompkins County Immigrant Rights Coalition calls on our community to deepen our support to those living and working with us, whether or not they have been granted official documentation,” the statement continued.

Walls said the man is in ICE custody and that the probe by Homeland Security Investigation agents is ongoing. Rodriguez declined to identify the man or the exact location of the arrest, citing the request of witnesses at See ICE page 4

Ithaca Police arrested an Ithaca man on Wednesday and accused him of committing three armed robberies in and around Ithaca in a one-week period. The three stick-ups were among at least seven armed robberies in Tompkins County in less than two months that concerned police and residents.

Police arrested Curt

Rosenfeld, a 32-year-old Ithaca resident, and charged him with three felony counts of robbery in the first degree. The three robberies — at Shortstop Deli on Christmas Eve, Byrne Dairy on Dec. 19 and Mirabito Convenience Store in Dryden on Dec. 17 — all involved a white male displaying what appeared to be a gun and fleeing with cash and, in one case, cigarettes.

“In setting apart a certain group of people and depleting them of certain resources, the ‘Other America’ [becomes] more and more magnified,” Jackson said.

Jackson ended his speech with a story about his return years later to the place where Stitches threatened him. He found that the area was no longer a part of the ‘Other America’ and that Northeast Portland, Ore. had became a place for ‘America the beautiful.’

“In a way it makes me feel like there is an evolution in the city, and then it makes me feel sad, a little bit,” Jackson said. “I don’t want to condemn it. But we should also be asking ourselves question: what is the price of ‘America the beautiful?’”

According to Jackson, the greatest cost of America the beautiful is its necessity of the ‘Other America,’ which ties back to the very beginning of the United States.

Jackson advocated for people to strive for a unified America instead of the dependent ‘America the beautiful.’

“The moral arc of a nation boomerangs to its moral conscience. We need to provide the tools to critique the ethos of ‘Other America,’” he said. “The real hope is to live in a united America, with one hope and one dream.”

Alumna to Build Upon Legacy Cornell Doctoral Students New university architect hopes to update campus

By MARYAM ZAFAR Sun Staff Writer

Appointed to the position of university architect on Jan. 18, Margaret McFadden Carney ’81 hopes to use her new post to update the campus to be “better, more effective [and] more sustainable.”

Carney also plans to restore legacy buildings, such as McGraw and Sibley Hall, and further work on the Engineering Quad, North Campus housing and the Cornell Tech campus. She is also tasked with managing the architects involved with on-campSus projects and presenting proposals to the Board of Trustees.

Carney will be filling a post that has remained empty for a year after Gilbert Delgado, Cornell’s previous university architect, left for a position at the University of Toronto.

Delgado served from August 2007 to early 2016 and oversaw the construction of the West Campus dormitories and Milstein Hall.

“More connectivity ... allows for more interdisciplinary interaction among students.”

Margaret McFadden Carney ’81 Collegetown has “grown up” since she graduated from Cornell’s College of Architecture, Art and Planning, Carney said, adding that the campus has become more cohesive with “more connectivity between the east and west sides of campus … [that] allows for more interdisciplinary interac-

tion among students.”

Carney has been involved in the design of several Cornell facilities, including the Schoellkopf Field parking garage, the Grumman Squash Courts and the Physical Sciences Building.

She previously worked at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where she managed a 200-person team as university architect. Prior to that post, Carney served as university architect for Temple University and Case Western University for eight years.

“Margaret is a talented architect with a superb record of achievement,” said Rick Burgess, vice president of infrastructure, properties and planning.

“She knows Cornell well, having been here as a student and returning as a practicing architect. We’re very excited about Margaret joining the Cornell team.”

Receive Prestigious Fellowship

By JACOB WEXLER Sun Staff Writer

Two Cornell Computing and Information Science doctoral students, Manish Raghavan and Justine Zhang, were chosen for Microsoft’s Ph.D. Fellowship Program for 201819, which accepts only 10 students nationwide each year.

Raghavan and Zhang are Cornell’s first recipients of the fellowship since 2015. This year also marked the first year since 2009 that Cornell had more than one student awarded the fellowship, which covers full tuition for two years while providing the students with an annual stipend of $32,000.

Cornell’s Ph.D. program in computer science is consistently ranked as one of the top six such programs in the country. Students in the program are fully funded by Cornell with teaching assistantships, graduate research assistantships or fellowships.

“One of the nice things about being in a Ph.D. program, especially at a place like Cornell, is that you can basically work on whatever you want. You have autonomy to work on what you want to work on,” Raghavan said.

Raghavan described the program as “a good community” with an amicable environment and people.

“It feels like people are pretty close together here. You see the same people and if those are the people you want to hang out with, what more can you ask for?” Raghavan said.

When a Cornell student receives a fellowship, it is also beneficial to other Cornell students, Raghavan explained.

“The more fellowships that students at Cornell get, the better we’re able to handle funding [for] all the students,” Raghavan said.

Raghavan is unsure as to what he will do after completing the Ph.D. program but is looking towards entering academia.

Raghavan, who studied computer science as an undergraduate at the University of California, Berkeley chose to come to Cornell largely because of his advisor Prof. Jon Kleinberg, computer science, a Cornell faculty member with whom he had worked with over the summer.

“The faculty here are definitely a big draw,” Raghavan added. “It’s why a lot of people at Cornell are at Cornell.”

Zhang could not be reached for comment.

The DHS official did not specify what kind of operation was going to be carried out, and Ithaca Police declined to standby at the location.

Ithaca Police Officer Jamie Williamson, a spokesperson for the department, confirmed that DHS did not contact the department in advance of Tuesday’s arrest and added that the department does not participate in ICE operations.

On Jan. 9, during a five-day sweep of Western New York, ICE arrested two Thai nationals — Somkiat Wandee and Patithan Maiyodklang — in Ithaca. The Ithaca Voice quoted Carlos Gutierrez, a health and safety trainer at the Tompkins County Workers’ Center, as saying the two men were working at Taste of Thai at the time of the arrest and that one of the men had missed an appointment with immigra-

Both Wandee and Maiyodklang were being held at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia as of Wednesday night. The nearest Homeland Security Investigation field office is in Williamsville, near Buffalo.

A hostess at Taste of Thai on Tuesday evening told The Sun that the restaurant’s owner was currently in Thailand and that she was not authorized to discuss the arrests. She declined to say if the man arrested on Tuesday was an employee.

Pollack Declines to Intervene in Vote to Defund Cinema CINEMA

Continued from page 1

in a Nov. 30 vote to completely remove the student fee for the next fiscal year. This fiscal year, the student fee will provide $150,943 to the cinema, 30 percent of its budget, according to figures from the University Provost’s office.

Fessenden declined to share the letter she sent Pollack with The Sun, and in an email to Cornell Cinema staff, specifically urged board members not to share the letter with The Sun. “For those of you who may still have a copy of the letter that was sent to the President, I ask that you not share it with others or with Daily Sun reporters, etc.,” Fessenden wrote, saying the letter was “intended as confidential correspondence and should remain as such.”

Student Assembly’s vote — 19 to 5, with three abstaining — reduced student byline funding of the cinema from $10.90 per student to zero and was so contentious that it led one student representative to resign.

“I devoted every possible moment of time and energy I had to S.A. and at the end of it, I voted for what I thought was the right thing to do,” Alec Martinez ’18, who voted to eliminate student funding for the Cornell Cinema and resigned shortly after, said in an interview on Wednesday. He said his view on the funding “did not correlate” with the students who elected him, leading to his resignation.

Hoping to survive after this semester, the cinema intends to rely more heavily on donations from alumni and supporters “to get us through this transitional and difficult time,” Fessenden said.

Provost Michael Kotlikoff, who in November said Cornell does not “have anything in our next year’s budget” to replace the student funding, did commit between $36,000 and $40,000 to the cinema for the next byline cycle. But Fessenden told The Sun that while she believes the offer still

stands, “we do not have 100% confirmation of it or any amount above it at this time.”

“It is much too early to know what a restructured Cornell Cinema will look like other than to say it will involve a reduction in programming,” Fessenden said.

Deciding against challenging S.A.’s vote, Pollack finalized the assembly’s funding decisions. Now, the cinema is forced to replace nearly a third of its revenue with other sources.

The Graduate and Professional Student Assembly, meanwhile, voted to increase its student fee to $11 per student, an increase of 46 cents. Graduate students’ activity fee makes up about 16 percent of the cinema’s budget this fiscal year.

Gabe Kaufman ’18, S.A. vice president of finance and chair of the Appropriations Committee, said the Cinema should cut down on staff wages rather than non-staff expenditures.

“It’s really the staff wages that are the most problematic,” Kaufman said.

Cornell’s Office of the Provost released statistics last year that identified professional staff wages as comprising roughly 70 percent of the cinema’s expenditures, with other expenditures like programming and student wages taking up 30 percent.

Yuji Yang ’19, Cornell Cinema’s student advisory board president, said that if the cinema cannot obtain replacement funding, it will have to show fewer movies.

“It will certainly be a significantly smaller program” if the cinema does not receive more funding, Yang said.

Kaufman said that for him to negotiate with the administration, the cinema must restructure.

“If the cinema restructures and wants help to get new funding, new income, after it restructures, I don’t think a single person in the assembly, myself included, would object to helping the organizers, because no one hates the organization,” Kaufman said.

Kaufman’s indication that he will only negotiate for additional funding if the cine-

ma restructures appears at odds with fellow S.A. member Varun Devatha ’19, executive vice president of the assembly.

Devatha said in November, before he voted in favor of defunding the cinema, that he was pledging unqualified support for the Cinema, which was founded nearly 50 years ago.

“Student Assembly would essentially be providing support by reaching out to alumni for garnering that funding in the short term,” Devatha said in November. “We are essentially looking at generating $150,000.”

In addition to seeking new funding and restructuring itself, the cinema appears to be more cautious of the impact of the tides of public opinion on its organization than it was

I

didn’t expect I’d be writing to you so soon. Honestly, you keep sneaking up on me at the most inconvenient of times, like while I’m basking in the sun and reading that book I said I’d finish last year, or watching Netflix for the first time in forever. Don’t you know how to leave someone in peace?

Reuniting with you is never the way I expect it to be. Last night I hopped off the plane, still carrying the Californian breeze in my suitcase and the smile of someone who finally ate In-n-Out, and you greeted me with a 20-degree hug and a huge pile of snow in my face. A goddamn pile snow. Who greets someone like that?

I dropped my bags off in my apartment, and amidst the smell of musky carpets and cramped ceilings, I sat down on my bed and for the first time in a while… you made me feel lonely. You made me think of friends I had meant to meet up with over the past month, a little sister with whom I didn’t have enough time to watch movies, conversations I forgot to have at the dinner table. You made me think of all the ways you rushed me back,

You remind me of all the times I have wanted to abandon you, to run away and never look back.

But oddly enough, while I was gone from you, sometimes you crept in my mind. You snuck into my thoughts at the most unexpected of times, when I was sipping a latte in San Francisco, or trying to have a decent burrito for the first time in forever. But you didn’t remind me of essays and bad food at Okenshields and trips to Target that take forever — you reminded me of things like late-night talks in a warm apartment, and hot apple cider on a chilly morning. Running through wheat fields in the Ithacan countryside. Buffalo wings and messy fingers and funny faces. You reminded me of nights spent at the dance studios of Willard Straight Hall, feeling safe between the wooden walls and loud music and laughing conversations.

So, second semester, it’s time I admitted something to you. You might give me frostbite and grade deflation and an excessive amount of Canada Goose jackets. You might give me a pit in my stomach every time I reload Blackboard. And

Letter to the Editor

In response to: ‘Cornell Launches New Diversity Website, Student Leaders Claim They Were Not Informed’ To the Editor: The newly re-designed diversity website is intended to be the primary online gateway for accessing information about diversity and inclusion at Cornell. In launching this site, we hope to provide a more inclusive, transparent, dynamic and user-friendly experience and resource to the community. To accomplish this, input and feedback from stakeholders is and will continue to be both an essential and valued part of the process. The website you see today at www.diversity.cornell.edu was a collaborative effort with input from a variety of individuals. I am thankful to the students, faculty and staff who shared their opinions and helped shape this central resource.

Planning for the website began in spring 2017 as a project of the University Diversity Officers. In the initial phase, we reached out to our constituent populations, undergraduate students, graduate and professional students, faculty and staff to nominate representatives to share feedback on the then-existing website and express their needs and vision for a new website. Approximately 12 30-minute individual user interviews were conducted with approximately half being interviews with undergraduate, graduate and professional students. Their input was the basis for the layout and many features you see now.

For the new website to reflect the ongoing initiatives, programs, events and developments in this critical area of diversity and inclusion, the website necessarily will evolve and be an iterative process. We remain open to additional thoughts and ideas about ways to enhance the site further. I welcome receiving additional input and feedback. Please feel free to contact my office at owdi@cornell.edu with comments and suggestions.

You were supposed to tell me that this semester will be better, that I will get better grades, make more friends, join more clubs. reminding me that I’ll always live from a suitcase, how I’ll never have a permanent home anywhere I go.

See, reuniting with you was supposed to feel different. You were supposed to make me feel hopeful, make me believe in fresh starts. You were supposed to tell me that this semester will be better, that I will get better grades, make more friends, join more clubs. That I will have a new beginning, that I will be a better person.

But here I am instead, sitting on my bed, and I don’t feel different. I don’t feel more mature, more prepared, more relaxed. I try to ignore you and sleep before the first day of class (because let’s be honest, sleep is a rarity), but you won’t shut up. You won’t stop reminding me that soon we’ll be sharing instant ramen at midnight again, that I’ll have more days of struggling to find a table at Temple of Zeus, more long lines at the quesadilla station in Trillium. You’re remind me of trudging up the Slope at 7 a.m., and falling asleep at Olin at 4 a.m.

WANT

TO

you might make me want to throw my iClicker across the lecture hall.

But you gave me a chance when I needed it most. You’ve brought me back to people who feel more like family than anyone else. You brought me back to board games on the couch and movies in the dark. You brought me back to novels in seminars and debates about politics, to sculptures in museums and staring at stars on the Arts Quad. You brought me back to a group of bright, young minds, who, admittedly, all missed you too. I guess you weren’t trying to rush me away from home, but bring me closer to it.

So second semester, I guess I’m glad we’re back together again. All I ask is that you take care of me, take care of all of us.

You never turn out how I expect you to be, but I guess I wouldn’t rather be with anyone else.

ReykjaDick | Whoreoscopes

I Think We Should Only Sleep With Other People

H HELEN HU / SUN CONTRIBUTOR

e slept with someone else. There is nothing so incredibly devastating as learning that the person you thought would remain faithful to you has thrown that out of the window. More devastating: learning that the individual who chose to betray your trust chose to hide that information, not because they wanted to protect you but because they wanted to protect their own self image, desperate not to seem like a horrible person.

The most devastating: immediately tallying in your mind that you’re three for four on your serious significant others cheating on you.

I cried in the shower this morning and I cried myself to sleep last night, the weight of each sob compounding in on to itself, working to flush out the mental image of him lying next to someone else.

Isak Dinesen said, “the cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea”. Yet, as every tear fell down my cheek, my brain churned out reminders of the fact that he chose to sleep with me after he cheated. He deceived me, betrayed my trust and kept me in the dark for his own sexual benefit. I didn’t want to cry. I wanted to salt his house and scorch the earth. I found myself screaming “how fucking dare he” to no one in particular. My psyche is Bertha Rochester. My internal wheels turn out Instagram captions that spurn him just to ensure he knows he hurt me. Just to ensure that he knows I have lost an ability to retain

trust and that my confidence in men is shattered. Just to ensure he knows how fundamentally deceitful his actions were.

Yet I won’t. The ex-girlfriend spurned by her boyfriend is an actor that requires only mild pity. She cannot dwell on it for too long — that would make her unable to be strong or to bounce back. She cannot tell everyone that he is a horrible person — that would make her petty. She cannot ask him to leave Cornell — that would make her unfair and cruel. She must move on, grow and be mature.

She certainly shouldn’t even be writing this column in the first place. So I’ll smile at him when I see him around, and move on because you can only scream your lungs out and sob so many times before it becomes tiring to even feel the pain.

I write this, instead, as a reminder to every person who has experienced the trauma and pain that can coincide with our relationships: this is your permission to grieve.

Men are told that sorrow is completely inconsistent with their masculinity, women are told that their pain is representative of their fragility and incapability of moving on.

Hookup culture begs us to bounce to our next relationship as quickly as humanly possible, and informs us that the only way to get over someone is to get under someone else.

Yet, I know that I’ll need at least a day, during which I’ll binge some Netflix and maybe watch a horror movie (because for me right now, love is dead, the only emotions are pain and fear). Social norms tell us not to feel pain and sorrow over our relationships and instead to move onward, bouncing back faster than a boxer who has been knocked out in a ring.

Take a minute before you try to bounce back. Ignore the forces telling you that your pain is invalid, or that you don’t deserve to feel sorrow. I know I’ll need a week and some ice cream.

Finding Your Fuck Buddy Y

ou’re ready to start the new semester!

A beautiful planner you’ll use infrequently? Check! Finally going to tackle the requirement you dread? Check!

Cutting your drinking down from four to three days a week? Check!

The perfect sex buddy relationship you’re going to ruin by mid-semester? Check!

The beginning of the semester is the perfect time to start a new relationship to which you’ll soon be too stressed to commit. I hope to give you all the tools you need to start this new affair: where to meet your partner, how to mix signals and confuse both parties, how to best drag out the crash when you realize you actually kind of hate them.

Oh, you don’t have a shortlist of waiting partners yet? Don’t worry, even though you’re already behind. As long as you put in the work, you won’t completely fail. (That sounds like what every professor tells you when you switch into a class two weeks into the semester. They’re lying. I’m not.)

There are really two traditional tracks you can take to find the fuck buddy of your most underwhelming dreams.

The drunken encounter is the easier option, but it carries a lower success rate.

Pick your poison: Hideaway, Loco or any fraternity basement. Make out with the first willing participant you find chugging a Keystone on the dance floor. It is vital that you know their name, so try to find a second to introduce yourself before you move to a non-public, or at least less-public, environment. But most importantly, slip them your number by the end of the evening so you don’t have to do the classic Facebook stalk and awkward message.

This tactic has two main pitfalls. Firstly, drunk goggles are real and intoxicated hookups are not always safe hookups.

Remember that you don’t need alcohol to feel confident enough to make a move, and always check in every step of the way.

Secondly, there is no guarantee you’ll have anything in common. Worst case scenario, they’re an engineer. Pillow-talk for the rest of the semester will be based on them telling you “You probably won’t understand, so I’m not going to try to explain.” Maybe ask them what college they’re in or what their extracurriculars are before you get intimate.

The study buddy option typically has a bigger reward but also carries more uncomfortable, and possibly grade-lowering, risks.

The clear strategy is to come to class as late as possible on the first day, scope the room and sit next to the most attractive person in the room. After fifty minutes of the professor explaining why attendance is important and how a curve works, turn to them and say “Wow, this seems super hard. Do you want to study together?” Okay, maybe not in so few words (and don’t forget to tell them your name), but that’s all there really is to it.

If you’re successful, numbers will be exchanged and you’ll be well on your way to mediocre sex.

This is where it gets difficult. Compared to the instant success of the drunken encounter, the one-to-three week waiting period for the study to sex transition can seem endless. Just hang in there! Start by asking them class-related questions only.

Slowly start to ask them their plans for the weekend or sending them memes only

slightly connected to the material you’re studying. Then, when that first prelim approaches, ask them to meet you at Mann for an hour or two to learn every concept you never tried to understand over the preceding weeks. Over a Manndibles coffee invite them to a non-class-related event. If you have been putting in the work, they’ll say yes and the rest will be history.

The next step in either case is to make this relationship as confusing and awkward as possible. Consider not waving to them when you seem them on campus. It’ll make them question if they saw someone else, not the person they were sexiling their roommate for at 3 a.m. last night.

Another option, a personal favorite of mine, is to kick them out 15 minutes after you have sex so there is absolutely no chance for you to actually get to know each other.

Don’t forget that asking them to get lunch and then cancelling last minute because you’re positive there will be nothing to talk about is a classic tactic. Whatever way you choose, the key here is to make them unsure of the direction in which this relationship is heading.

Don’t forget to drunkenly text or call them every weekend confessing feelings but include enough typos and mispronunciations to make it impossible to understand. This is also the best option when you’re trying to guard your heart from the strain of rejection.

After one to

two months of general confusion, missed signals and passive-aggressive texts, you have to find the perfect way to ruin the relationship. Whether you make-out with another person at a party to which you specifically invited your fuck buddy, or ghost them for a few weekends and then hit them with the “Hey” text on a late Wednesday night, make the ending as painful and unclear as the relationship itself. If you’ve done your job correctly, the “break up” will take almost as long as the time you actually spent semi-happily hooking up. No matter what, second-guess your decision three or four times so you spend almost the whole semester giving the hook up another chance.

Simple Tips for a Healthy Diet

By CATHERINE HORNG Sun Staff Writer

A

s another winter break ends, a new semester brings along another chance at keeping those New Year’s resolutions such as bringing up your GPA, getting rid of that procrastination habit and finally making a conscious effort to stay healthy. For many, the beginning of February is when those resolutions begin to fall through and, as students, that can be especially true with the return of problem sets, readings and essays. However, there are some easy ways to keep on track with your health goals, especially if there is no time to meal prep or cooking for yourself.

Stop Drinking Calories

One of the easiest ways to consume a lot of calories without gaining any nutrition is through drinking high-calorie beverages.

Soda and juice are full of sugar and will ensure that your plans to stay healthy will fall through. Try to minimize consumption of sugary drinks and drink water instead. Coffee, while essential to many students, can be deadly to your resolution when filled with packets of sugar and heavy creamers. While it may be impossible to cut the much needed caffeine boost out of your life completely, be careful how much sugar and fat you add into it.

Additionally, avoid ordering the lattes, mochas and holi-

day drinks at the on-campus Starbucks or Café Jennie, which are already full of high-calorie syrups.

Don’t ever eliminate your favorite food from your menu.

Banning your favorite foods will not only be disappointing in the short run, but it may ultimately be detrimental in the long run.

The temptation to eat something completely bad for you may break your resolutions, and at that point your health streak may be unsalvageable. Instead, eat your favorite foods in moderation. If you spot something you want in one of the dining halls, don’t be afraid to grab a little, and remember it will most likely show up again another day.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Beauty in the Unfinished: Drawing the Line

BY VARUN BIDDANDA Sun Staff Writer

Drawing the Line, open until June 10 at the Johnsson, displays over a century of drawing history from European artists. In particular, the exhibit celebrates both the drawing as a sovereign entity as well as an often-ignored component of the artistic process in its entirety. In this way, Drawing the Line forces the audience to closely reevaluate pre-existing notions of where and how beauty is to be found.

A drawing technique with a history of over six centuries, gouache differs from watercolor in that it produces a distinctly more opaque finish. In an untitled composition from 1915, Pablo Picasso intermingles both gouache and watercolors. The artist’s oeuvre is well-known for expressing the tumultuous social, political and emotional upheavals of his life and the painting in question was heavily influenced by the passing of his lover Eva Gouel in December of 1915, the same year as the painting’s completion. The subject of the painting is a seated figure whose depiction is almost defined by its ambiguity. While the fragmented nature of the gouache is undoubtedly ubiquitous to the Cubist technique, the portrayal simultaneously alludes to the devastation that

Picasso witnessed not only in his personal life, but in the surrounding world as well. It is unclear whether the subject is the departed Eva, a grim reaper figure or a vivid interpretation of the artist’s own inner state, but perhaps most compelling is the possibility that the work is a centralization of all three.

While some pieces in the exhibit are shown on their own, others are displayed next to the finished pieces forf which they are a draft. An untitled drawing from 1932

by Arshile Gorky depicts an arrangement of abstract yet organic figures, and while the overall shape is transmitted to the painting, the latter’s vivid color patterns evoke an emotionally distinct character from the former. The drawing does, however, manage to convey a sense of texture and dimension through variations in line techniques and patterns, nuances which have been painted over in the finished product. The judicious techniques often employed by similar drawings tend to have the effect of demarcating the space without disrupting it, and it is this sublime restraint which takes place at the heart of the works’ elegance.

A similar juxtaposition of a drawing with its painting is a portrait by Duncan Grant of his colleague Mina Kirstein Curtiss. The sketch employs charcoal and red chalk and in many ways is deeply moving. The sketch depicts the subject’s wistful gaze of painful acuity while

the medium itself betrays a certain organic intimacy. At the same time, the contrast between jagged lines and blurred frontiers of shades radiates an elegance that is uncanny.

When exhibited with the finished artistic product, we tend to presume — due to the lack of visual detail — that the drawing assumes a position inferior to the work that it precedes temporarily. However, introspection suggests that this mode of thought is deeply rooted in a detail-centric view of artistic value. Breaking free from such methodological frameworks, it becomes clear that it is perhaps absence rather than presence to which the expressive power of the works can be attributed.

Conventionally, we are shown only the final product to be the point of artistic departure and it is toward this which we are attuned. However, Drawing the Line and its focus on the finished works’ predecessors suggest that instead of proceeding along a linear path which theoretically blossoms into the polished masterpiece, the works in question develop across a series of spaces with their own points of artistic departure, whether they express themselves through a handful of dark jagged lines or a labyrinth of dazzling color and detail.

The Shape of Water Is a Fairytale for Adults

BY LEV AKABAS Sun Staff Writer

The elevator pitch for The Shape of Water is “a fairytale for adults,” and the movie doubles down on this concept from the very beginning. The opening shot, a graceful long take, sweeps through an underwater home as if the viewer is swimming in it. The image is surreal, especially combined with Alexandre Desplat’s enchanting score and Richard Jenkins’ narration about the “princess without a voice.”

Within the first minute, we’ve been transported into director Guillermo Del Toro’s fantasy.

Del Toro’s vivid imagination brings to life the story of a mute woman, Elisa (Sally Hawkins), in the 1960s who works as a janitor in a secret government laboratory in Baltimore. The science facility has captured an aquatic, humanoid, referred to as The Asset. Colonel Richard Strickland (Michael Shannon), a clearly sadistic psychopath, repeatedly tortures the creature and wants to dissect it to possibly gain an advantage over the Soviets in the Cold War. Or something.

The movie kicks into action when Elisa begins to develop a connection with the creature, which could be a little weird, for sure, but the relationship is handled with the maturity of one between two humans.

Somehow, this unlikely love story feels realistic. Perhaps the attachment arises because Elisa, a mute orphan, and the creature, an inhuman, intimidating, blue being, are quickly dismissed by society as “others.”

This theme permeates the script, particularly with the character of Elisa’s lonely, gay neighbor, played by Richard Jenkins, who adds a lot of gravitas to the movie through a number of heartfelt conversations with Elisa.

In addition to universally fantastic performances, there’s a reason The Shape of Water received a near-record 13 Oscar

Elisa and Amphibian Man form a bond inside a government science facility in The Shape of Water.

nominations, including in almost every technical category: the movie is one hell of a production. Paul D. Austerberry’s lavish sets are particularly noteworthy — we can practically reach out and touch the slime in the basement of the laboratory — and Dan Lausten’s camera allows us to soak it all in.

The colors in this movie are vibrant.

The deep sea teals of the facility are complemented by the cinnamon hue of Giles’s apartment, both of which allow some of Elisa’s red clothing to pop off the screen.

The film excels during the sequences in the facility when it’s riffing off classics like King Kong, ET and Beauty and the Beast.

Sally Hawkins gives a charming perfor-

mance as Elisa, who brings lunch for the aquatic being and feeds him, plays records for him and teaches him sign language.

The work done by the filmmakers to bring the beast to life is remarkable, and Del Toro manages to depict him as both imposing and human-like. These scenes of love between Elisa and the beast, which I didn’t really expect to work, are some of the strongest in the movie.

The third act hits a lot of predictable beats, however, with corny antics like villain monologuing and “shocking” twists.

As Elisa tries to protect the creature from the baddies who are after him, the story abruptly turns into a classic Hollywood

thriller. Maybe this familiarity and simplicity are appropriate for what is in essence a fairy tale, but some of the emotional heft dissipates in the finale. Still, Del Toro manages to fittingly cap off the film with a memorable, ethereal closing shot.

The Shape of Water isn’t an especially thought-provoking experience, but oh man is it visually sumptuous. The film delivers on its promise of being an otherworldly fairytale so thoroughly that we hardly even realize we’ve just watched a film about beastiality, fish-human sex scene included.

Films About Mexico Should Stop Focusing on Día de los Muertos and Drugs

COURTESY OF PIXAR STUDIOS

Miguel talks to his grandmother in front of the ofrenda in the recent Pixar release Coco.

W

hen I first saw an ad for Coco, I felt hopeful. There aren’t very many movies about Mexican people, especially not children and family movies.

However, once I watched the trailer, I was massively disappointed. Time and time again, movies that focus on Mexicans are about either Día de los Muertos or drugs.

I get it. Día de los Muertos is cool and “exotic,” but it definitely isn’t the most meaningful, representative thing about Mexico. I also understand that drugs are possibly Mexico’s biggest problem, but why make that define a whole country? The film industry keeps trying to define Mexico based on either a meaningful, beautiful tradition or its unappealing, pressing drug issues.

Believe it or not, us Mexican people do

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

more than celebrate our dead and fight over drugs. It’s time more filmmakers delved into Mexican history and culture to paint a more accurate and less embarrassing Mexico.

Coco was a good movie. It won a Golden Globe and is now nominated for some Academy Awards. Even thought it was done so beautifully, the movie still followed the Día de los Muertos trend. Mexico can’t be molded and chopped to fit into a pretty, flashy box to be sold to audiences. The film Traffic revolves around drug crimes, yet it remains as one of the must-see Mexican movies. I was born and raised in Mexico and a large portion of my family still lives there, so I often visit. The drug war has impacted my family only in minor ways, and I have never been anywhere in Mexico where Día

de los Muertos is a big deal; to me it seems like a decaying tradition. All we do is buy pan de muerto (a traditional pastry for the occasion ) and put up an ofrenda (offering for our deceased relatives), or just light a candle next to a picture. My family does those things, so I suppose we “celebrate” it, but how does that compare to what filmmakers show everyone? To me, Día de los Muertos was taught more like a routine than the grand celebration it is often portrayed as.

If the decay of the Día de los Muertos traditions continue, what will be left for the film industry to romanticize?

The answer lies in plain sight: Mexican people.

Yes, movies about Día de los Muertos (and drug cartels) are about Mexican people, but they’re fake Mexican people. Yes, movies are almost always unrealistic, but seeing something you can relate to on screen is worthwhile. For instance, in Coco, when Miguel is pushed to eat more tamales, I laughed because it was relatable and true.

However, the rest of the movie felt like a shiny, far-off fantasy, and it was far less enjoyable.

There are certain things that tie Mexican people together, but they can’t be learned by repeatedly displaying the same two tired

themes year after year. For instance, homophobia is a big issue in Mexico because machismo is a huge part of Mexican culture, and as a start more films could scrutinize this.

Every Mexican state also has beautiful and unique traditions, such as the voladores de Papantla (Papantla flyers) in Veracruz, and I have not seen nearly enough of those in any mainstream film. The 2012 Mexican documentary, Hecho en Mexico, takes the audience on a musical journey throughout Mexico, beautifully demonstrates the richness that the country has to offer. A film like this that isn’t a Guest documentary, that people might view Room as “boring,” is what is needed now more than ever.

All it takes to start steering the film and entertainment industry in a new direction, when it comes to Mexico, is to watch and listen. Watch, listen and work with Mexican people who want their cultures shown in film. It’s time to get rid of the tiny box of exotic Mexican things when creating films and art, and instead look to the country’s heart — its people — and create something new and Oscar-worthy.

hopes to pull off a win.

“We are focusing on playing team defense,” said junior forward Diana Buckley. “Strong defensive plays will lead to offensive opportunities, and when we have offensive chances, we need to bear down and make them count.”

Creating offensive opportunities is one thing, but capitalizing on them will be difficult against Clarkson goaltender Shea Tiley, who ranks third in the nation in average goals against at 1.27.

“We can continue to improve on burying our scoring chances with poise around the net and creating more dangerous ones with speed and skill,” said junior forward Lenka Serdar.

Despite two top-ten clashes ahead, the team is carrying the mindset that if it sticks to its best hockey for the entire game, it stands an excellent chance at success.

“We're going to need three periods of consistent hockey,” said senior defender Sarah Knee. “We're successful when we're disciplined with our systems but we'll need that commitment right from the start of the first period.”

Puck drop in this weekend’s homestand will be 6 p.m. Friday against Clarkson and Saturday, 3 p.m. Saturday against St. Lawrence.

WOMEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

Runners Start Season Strong, Look to Build on Success Team attributes early victories to a team culture of support thanks to smooth coaching transition

By KAREN PAPAZIAN Sun Staff Writer

The Cornell women’s track and field team is proving itself to be a force to be reckoned with early this season, dominating the competition this past weekend at the Upstate Challenge. The top-finishing Red put up an impressive 315 points — a nearly 250-point margin over second-place finisher Binghamton.

After putting on impressive displays at the Greg Pace Relays, the Southern Tier Collegiate Open and the Penn State Challenge, Cornell built on its early-season momentum and came out of the Upstate Challenge with 12 event wins and 25 top-three event finishes.

Head coach Artie Smith, who assumed the position this past August, pointed to his five senior captains as sources of the early triumphs.

“Our captains have done a terrific job of keeping our large and diverse team connected and have fostered a very supportive team environment that has made practice and meets a lot of fun,” Smith said.

One of the captains, senior Taysia Radoslav, also praised her new head coach while acknowledging the contributions of now-assistant coach Rich Bowman.

Bowman served as head coach for the previous six years and has been a part of the program for 36 years.

“The transition from Coach Bowman to Coach Artie as head coach has been pretty seamless,” Radoslav said.

“We are extremely lucky to have Coach Bowman continue to be part of our fantastic coaching staff. He has helped out the two new coaches immensely and is always a good resource for Coach Artie to run things by.”

This weekend, Cornell looks to come out on top of the competition at the Kane Invitational and flip the focus to individual performances.

“As a team, this weekend’s focus is shifted more towards individual performance,” Radoslav said.

“Coach Artie wants us to use the opportunity of an unscored meet to really focus on ourselves and fine-tun-

ing so we are ready to compete for the team the following week at Penn State.”

Last season at the Kane Invitational the Red had strong results — eight ECAC qualifiers, five event wins and nearly 22 top-five event finishes — and is hoping to have similar results this time around.

“This will be a very large meet, and after an intense scored team meet this past weekend, [it will be] an

opportunity for most people to focus on just one event and hone skills that will help them in our next team scored competition: Feb. 2-3 at Penn State,” Smith said.

Onlookers will be able to see the Red host the Kane Invitational all day on Saturday in Barton Hall.

C.U. Just Two Wins Away From Clinching Ancient Eight M. HOCKEY

Friday’s matchup at “Lynah East,” Harvard’s Bright-Landry Hockey Center, where the Red’s

defense — the nation’s best at 1.53 goals allowed per game — will be tasked with slowing down the nation’s leading goalscorer: junior forward Ryan Donato.

Donato, who will join the U.S. Olympic Team after this weekend, has 20 goals and centers a dangerous line with Lewis Zerter-Gossage and Ty PeltonByce, who rank second and third

on the team in points, respectively.

“They’re a good team [and] they’ve got a lot of skill up front.

well defensively,” Galajda said.

Harvard, whose 1-5-1 November record sent them in a downward spiral, is 7-1-3 in its last 11 and is 4-0-1 in its last five home tilts.

In Hanover, the Red will look to avoid becoming Dartmouth’s next top-five win. The Green downed then-No. 1 Denver in December before beating thenNo. 2 Clarkson last weekend.

“Everyone wants to be the big dog and take us down and that’s something that we embrace and take in on a daily basis,” Angello said. “And we’re ready for everyone’s effort because we’re going to bring one heck of [an] effort of our own.”

Along with its No. 2 ranking, Cornell is tied for first in the PairWise rankings, which puts it in position for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. But, as conference opponents heat up, Schafer isn’t worried about this ranking with ten games to play.

“There’s one time of the year when PairWise matters. That’s when they select the teams for the NCAAs,” Schafer said.

“They will change so much from now until the end of the year based on other guys’ strength of schedule, other teams getting hot, teams in other leagues going cold.”

Looking to maintain its favorable position for now, the Red will take on Harvard Friday and Dartmouth Saturday. Both games are at 7 p.m.

No. 2/4 Icers Hit the Road for Pair of Ivy Contests Red set for conference rematches, looks to complete season sweeps of league foes Harvard, Dartmouth

By RAPHY GENDLER Sun Staff Writer

Cornell men’s hockey will take the road to face two of the hottest teams in the conference this weekend — all while the Red is riding an eight-game unbeaten streak of

its own.

The Red (16-2-1, 10-1-1 ECAC) is coming off a homeand-home sweep of Colgate and will clash with Harvard (9-6-4, 8-3-3) Friday and Dartmouth (8-10-2, 6-6-1) Saturday. The Red can clinch the Ivy League title with a pair of wins.

Rivalry road trip | After downing both Harvard and Dartmouth at Lynah Rink earlier this season, the Red takes its eight game unbeaten streak on the road this weekend to face the Crimson and the Green in their home arenas.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY

“They’re going to give us a really good run for our money,” said junior forward Anthony Angello, who has seven goals in his last eight games. “Especially Harvard, playing them on Friday, [after] beating them with two seconds left here at Lynah [Nov. 11], I’m sure they’re itching to play.”

The last time Cornell took on the Crimson and the Green was one of the season’s most exciting weekends and cemented the Red as a serious threat, both in the ECAC and nationally.

The 3-0 win against Dartmouth and the come-frombehind, last-second thriller against Harvard improved the Red’s record to 6-0 to begin the season.

Eleven weeks later, up to No. 2 in the country in the USCHO rankings and tied for first in the ECAC, this weekend may be the Red’s toughest test yet.

“We have a tremendous opportunity and tremendous challenge this weekend playing both Dartmouth and Harvard on the road, two teams that are arguably right behind us as far as how hot they are,” said head coach Mike Schafer ’86.

After freshman goaltender Matt Galajda’s pair of 2-0 shutouts of Colgate last weekend, the Red will set out to maintain its national prominence by taking down two squads who spent last weekend sending seemingly unbeatable Clarkson back to earth.

On Friday, Harvard earned a 6-6 tie with the Golden Knights thanks to an extra-attacker goal in the final minute and Dartmouth downed Clarkson, 3-2, the next day. The two contests ended Clarkson’s streak of ten straight conference victories to start the season.

Harvard is tied with the Red for the country’s longest active unbeaten streak. Both streaks will be tested in See M. HOCKEY page 14

Red to Host Clarkson, SLU Freshman Galajda Named NCAA

By DYLAN McDEVITT Sun Staff Writer

Last year, the Cornell women’s hockey team took two tough losses in the same week, to the same team, in the same building. The first came in the ECAC title game, when the Red fell short of the conference trophy in a grueling 1-0 defeat at Clarkson.

Six days later, the Red’s 2016-17 campaign came to a heartbreaking end in the NCAA tournament, falling again to the eventual national champion Golden Knights for a “These are two very second consecimportant games with utive game. new searespect to the confer- sonA provided ence standings.” no further as Freshman Kendra Nealey luck, Cornell (12-62, 9-4-1 ECAC) returned to the scene of the crime earlier this season only to take a beating at the hands of then-No. 2 Clarkson by a score of 6-0.

This weekend, the Red will look to finally secure a victory over the Golden Knights (21-3-1, 12-2) in its first home game against the squad in nearly a year.

The last time Clarkson made a trip to East Hill was Feb. 18 of last year, when the Red lost in an overtime thriller on its annual senior day.

“Clarkson is a very strong team both defensively and offensively,” said head coach Doug Derraugh ’91. “We need to be tough defensively [because] you can-

not give Clarkson many opportunities to score.”

Cornell’s most recent victory over Clarkson came during the Jan. 20 regular season matchup on the road last year, when the Red ended its conference rival’s 18-game unbeaten streak and handed the Golden Knights their first and only conference loss of the season.

While Friday’s matchup against Clarkson presents the more emotional contest of the weekend, the Red will also face a tough matchup against a different team from North Country in No. 8 St. Lawrence. The Saints will come to town on Saturday for a rematch of the Red’s 30 victory earlier this season.

Sitting at fourth in the conference behind Clarkson, Colgate and St. Lawrence, Cornell may be facing its most crucial weekend yet in terms of postseason implications.

“These are two very important games with respect to the conference standings and the conference tournament, and hopefully getting to the NCAA tournament,” said freshman defender Kendra Nealey. “We’re looking forward to home ice advantage and coming in being the team that’s most determined to win.”

Along with its eight shutouts this season, which are tied for the most in collegiate women’s hockey, the Golden Knights also enjoy the nation’s fourthranked offense, averaging 4.16 goals per game. All said, the Red will need to play sound hockey on both ends of the ice if it See W. HOCKEY page 13

First Star, ECAC Goalie of Week

By RAPHY GENDLER Sun Staff Writer

After tying the Cornell record for shutouts by a freshman and becoming the first goaltender to earn two straight shutouts for the Red since 2015, Matt Galajda earned the honor of NCAA First Star of the week.

To earn the top spot on this week’s list of collegiate players who turned in the most outstanding performances in the country, Galajda made a total of 47 saves in consecutive 2-0 shutouts of then-No. 19 Colgate, one at home and one on the road.

His fourth and fifth shutouts of the season tied David McKee’s freshman record, set

in the 2004-05 season. Galajda ranks second in the country with a goals against average of 1.66, and is fifth in save percentage at .930.

In addition to the national honor, Galajda was named ECAC goalie of the week for the second time this season.

Galajda and the Red’s best-in-thenation defense, allowing 1.53 goals per game, have a pair of key conference road games this weekend, at archrival Harvard on Friday and at Dartmouth on Saturday.
