Campus Reels After Release of Trump Tape Cornell Democrats,Republicans split endorsements,but join to condemn candidate’s remarks

By REBECCA BLAIR Sun Senior Editor

After a bombshell weekend for the 2016 presidential race, the Cornell Democrats and Cornell Republicans remain split on which candidate should win in November, but both groups have reached and reaffirmed an unlikely consensus: the Republican “We nominee is an embarrassment and a danger.

While there has never been any doubt that the Cornell Democrats would support their party’s nominee, the Cornell Republicans took the controversial step of abandoning their party’s standard bearer and endorsing libertarian candidate Gary Johnson last month.

After the Friday release of a tape showing Republican nominee Donald Trump making dis-

paraging remarks about women — recounting how he enjoyed kissing and groping them without their consent and how they would let him do so because he is a “star” — the Cornell Republicans remain as committed as ever in their opposition to the candidate.

Rawlings Addresses Staff, Stewart Ave.Stabbing Vows to Promote‘One Cornell’ Tied to Failed Drug Deal

By ANNE SNABES Sun Staff Writer

Interim President Hunter Rawlings emphasized the need for collaboration between Cornell’s three campuses and unity across racial divides in his annual address to the Employee Assembly Tuesday.

“My mantra this year is ‘one Cornell,’” Rawlings said. “It’s a very simple and straightforward one.”

This ‘mantra’ includes reviewing undergraduate curriculum, mending racial divisions and encouraging Cornell to act as an example by being a “unified community” — all ideas that Rawlings has previously addressed before the Faculty Senate and Graduate and Professional See RAWLINGS page 4

Students Plan Week To Commemorate Indigenous Peoples

After the storm

Celebration follows resolution to recognize indigenous nations on Columbus Day

By WILLIAM BAI Sun Contributor

The Native American Students at Cornell organization will host five days of events this week to commemorate indigenous cultures.

“It’s hard to exist here in a place where the majority of people are not aware of us.”

Alyssa Jaquin ’18 The celebrations, called Indigenous Peoples’ Day: A Week of Celebration, come about six months after the Student Assembly passed a resolution deciding to recognize Indigenous People’s Day in lieu of Columbus Day, responding to calls from the Cornell Native American community. Several identity-based student groups on campus supported the resolution, and it eventually passed unanimously.

“A promotion of Indigenous Peoples is a logical step forward in strengthening Cornell’s commitment to campus-wide diversity and inclusion,” the resolution reads.

Events for the inaugural Indigenous People’s Day celebration will include dinners, a lecture by a guest speaker and a game night, according to

NASAC Co-Chair Alyssa Jaquin ’18.

“We want to get the Cornell community to acknowledge that Cornell is established on the traditional homeland of the Cayuga Nation,” Jaquin said. “Even though there is an impression that natives and their communities don’t exist anymore, that’s not case. It’s hard to exist here in a place where the majority of people here are not aware of us.”

The Cayuga Nation was one of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy and was forcibly removed by the Continental Army in 1779.

Jaquin said she believes it is important for the University to recognize the history of indigenous people in New York, both because they are a underrepresented group in American uni-

Jaquin also said it is important to make sure the celebration of indigenous culture is not a singular event, but rather becomes an annual tradition for Cornell.

Death Row Inmate Describes Exoneration by DNA Evidence

Details wrongful arrest, misconduct of law officials that ‘fell through the cracks’of justice system

By ALANA SULLIVAN Sun Contributor

“My name is Kirk Bloodsworth, and I’m the first person in the United States to be freed by post-conviction DNA testing from a capital conviction. I spent a total of eight years, 10 months and 19 days in prison for a brutal crime I did not commit.”

With these words, Bloodsworth opened his talk in Myron Taylor Hall Thursday, speaking to students in a Psychology and Law class taught

by Prof. Valerie Hans, law, and Prof. Jeffrey Rachlinski, law.

Hans cited Bloodsworth’s case as exemplary case of issues with witness identification, police work and human perception.

Bloodsworth described his life as a crab fisherman in Cambridge, Md. before his imprisonment, as well as the events leading up to Aug. 9, 1985 — the day police officers arrested him for the murder and

rape of nine-year-old Dawn Hamilton, whose body had been found several months earlier.

“I opened the door, lights are shining in my face. I hear, ‘Step outside, Mr. Bloodsworth.

You’re under arrest for the mur-

der of Dawn Hamilton, you son of a bitch,’” he said. “By the time it hit the news in The Baltimore Sun the next day, I became the most hated man in the state of Maryland, if not the nation.”

Detailing his interrogation

by police, the evidence presented against him during his trial and the nearly nine years he spent in prison, Bloodsworth pointed out various errors and incidents of misconduct on the part of law officials on his case.

These included the lack of any

physical evidence linking him to the crime and a heavy reliance on eyewitness testimonies from five people — two of whom were young boys under the age of 10, whose initial descriptions did not resemble him.

“This and many other things were falling through the cracks of the criminal justice system and I was the one who fell along with them,” he said.

Throughout the judicial process, Bloodsworth maintained his innocence to anyone who would listen, but he said his protests fell on deaf ears.

“After two weeks [of trial] on March 27, 1985, the gavel came down on my life and my sentence was life,” he said. “The courtroom erupted in applause.

They shouted, ‘Give him the gas, kill his ass!’ People were laughing at my mother and father in the front pew, laughing at me.”

nine years in Maryland Penitentiary — two of them on death row — where he said he received particularly brutal treatment from other inmates due to the nature of the crime of which he had been convicted.

“That is where I had my epiphany. If [DNA] can convict you, then why can’t it free me?”

Kirk Bloodsworth “When that 300-pound door slammed shut, my life was over,” he said. “All they wanted me to do was die. Somehow I had to figure out how to live.”

When he wasn’t writing letters — always signed ‘Kirk Noble Bloodsworth, A.I.M.’ (An Innocent Man) — Bloodsworth spent a large amount of his time in prison reading. He said he was struck by an idea after reading an account of a murder case in England, in which DNA evidence was used to convict a perpetrator.

“That is where I had my epiphany,” Bloodsworth said. “If [DNA] can convict you, then why can’t it free me?”

Bloodsworth cited the difficulty of requesting a DNA comparison as another shortcoming of the justice system. After he asked for access to the DNA evidence, the original prosecutor informed him that the evidence had been inadvertently destroyed.

“Something dawned on me at the point,” Bloodsworth said. “I figured they just didn’t know were it was. And your life should not be relegated to a treasure hunt.”

When Bloodsworth’s lawyer eventually found the DNA, he said he was released from prison in 1993 and granted a full pardon.

Bloodsworth also discussed his activist work and involvement in instigating death penalty reform around the country. He has been instrumental in the abolishment of the death penalty in numerous states, according to Hans, and currently serves as a board member of a Pennsylvania commission dedicated to exonerating wrongly convicted individuals.

“My life has been changed indelibly by this. I’ve been in front of Congress. I have a DNA law in my name, and we’re trying to get that reauthorized. I’ve helped to abolish the death penalty in my home state,” Bloodsworth said. “I wanted to kill the thing that almost killed me.”

In a discussion with the class after the talk, Bloodsworth suggested ways in which students can take part in prison reform and death penalty repeal activism. These

“When that 300-pound door slammed shut, my life was over. All they wanted me to do was die.”

Kirk Bloodsworth include supporting innocence projects around the United States, conducting letter-writing campaigns and simply breaking the silence associated with the subject.

“You must stand up for life,” he said.

“You have to stand up for what’s right in this world. You have to get up, sit up, hold your head up and never give up.”

The symposium was an even more impressive showcase given that the Institute for Healthy Futures is only a year old, according to Kelly.

Ithaca Congressman Maintains Support for Trump DEBATE

Continued from page 1

this an election about him rather than the people and for dragging the country down with him.”

While the Cornell Republicans also condemned Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s debate performance — Corn said she “despises” Clinton more every time she opens her mouth — the Cornell Democrats lauded the Democratic nominee for remaining “unfazed” during the debate.

“Clinton deftly highlighted Trump’s long record of hate, defused his conspiratorial rhetoric and explained her agenda for improving the lives of Americans,” said Cornell Democrats President Kevin Kowalewski ’17.

Corn added that she wished that Johnson, her club’s choice for president, had been present on the debate stage to force Clinton to “actually answer questions on her foreign policy record, and force Trump to prepare more than one liners attacking Clinton.” Johnson made headlines in early September when he failed to recognize the name of Aleppo, the Syrian city that has been the epicenter of the country’s refugee crisis, and again a few weeks later when he was unable to name a foreign leader he admired.

Austin McLaughlin ’18, Cornell Republicans execu-

tive director, lamented that the Commission on Presidential Debate’s rules closed out third party voices like Johnson’s.

“Gary Johnson and [his running mate] Bill Weld would have offered a mediating perspective to millions of Americans that likely agree with them but do not know enough about their campaign,” McLaughlin said.

“Clinton deftly highlighted Trump’s long record of hate [and] defused his conspiratorial rhetoric.”

Kevin Kowalewski ’17 “Unfortunately that perspective was never provided due to the CPD cutting them out of the debates despite being within the margin of error of 15 percent. We are left with two extremely disliked candidates, one an ‘extremely careless’ stateswoman — to quote FBI Director James Comey — and the other an unfit blowhard.”

McLaughlin added that Trump’s debate performance should exacerbate opinions that Trump has failed to outline a coherent, consistent stance on important policy

issues. McLaughlin referenced Trump’s disagreement with his running mate, Mike Pence, on how to best handle the crisis in Syria, and Trump’s shift from advocating an allout ban on Muslim immigration to calling for “extreme vetting” of Muslim immigrants as evidence that Trump has not “thoroughly thought out” his platform.

“Although I do not agree with Clinton’s positions on many issues, at least they were coherently framed,” McLaughlin said. “Trump darted from one idea to the next, and at times did not answer the question.”

Congressman Tom Reed (R-N.Y.), who represents the Ithaca area and was one of the first congressmen to endorse Trump, issued a statement Monday condemning the Republican nominee’s remarks on the tape. However, he refused to join a growing crowd of Republicans withdrawing their support for the candidate, saying instead that a “Hillary Clinton presidency is unacceptable.”

“We have to change the D.C. establishment — so I continue supporting Donald Trump as an outsider who will shake up D.C.,” Reed said in the statement.

Reed’s seat is being challenged by Democrat John Plumb, a former staffer in the Obama administration.

Resolution #44: Creation of the First Generation Student Representative is, without a doubt, the greatest piece of legislation to go through the Student Assembly during our time on the Hill. This resolution is unique in that it did not come from a member; instead it came from members of the First in Class Advocacy Team.

Through meetings with the First in Class Advocacy Team, it became crystal clear that the Student Assembly, our student government that is tasked with representing all students, is inaccessible and excludes many communities, with regards to transparency, communication, engagement and membership. All too many times, we have heard from people who try to challenge that notion, questioning why they (underrepresented communities) “don’t reach out to us more,” “why don’t they come to meetings?”

Well, “they” don’t come to meetings because of exactly what you witnessed last Thursday from 4:45-6:30 p.m. When you aggressively defend a viewpoint rooted in hypotheticals that invalidates the experiences of your peers, why would anyone want to be present? When you state that if you hold an open forum the public “might be confused” and might not “understand” what is going on is quite condescending, as it implies that the people who are not elected do not have the capacity to understand how the S.A. works. Well, the burden of informing and educating students rests entirely on the shoulders of the S.A. membership. The burden of speaking with communities that are currently excluded from the Student Assembly rests upon the shoulders of the S.A. They must also discuss restructuring plans and rationale in plain language, so that the entire student body can understand and prepare to voice their concerns at upcoming forums. Using uncommon language that people don’t understand is very elitist, and it excludes and harms Cornell’s most vulnerable members. The Student Assembly must go through a transparent and inclusive restructuring process in order to fully represent the student body.

“How do we restructure the Student Assembly to become representative of the entire undergraduate student population?” is the question the Assembly is currently debating. One proposed solution involves the creation of a “restructuring committee,” largely composed of members of this poorly staffed body. This exclusive body does not have the means to restructure while meeting the needs of the students whose voices are currently silenced. They will continue to be silenced. A restructure of the Student Assembly by the Student Assembly will yield a stagnant, unchanged assembly. There is an undeniable logical fallacy in the methodology with which the restructure is being approached. If the S.A. truly cares about the best interests of the student body, then they would be well served to speak with their constituents, instead of relishing in the comfort of internal conversations.

An argument made by many S.A. members who are in favor of this committee relates to the fact that the discussion about restructuring has lasted too long, that the S.A. has not done anything else to move this project forward. Why does the duration of a process matter? Is it not the outcome that matters? If the goal is to create a truly representative body, the restructuring process must equitably allow for the input of students who currently feel excluded. This will not happen overnight. The S.A. must not hastily pass an internal resolution in order to move the issue off the table. This issue will only be resolved by one outcome: the creation of a truly representative structure.

In conclusion, we believe there is no need for the creation of yet another inaccessible, elitist body tasked with “investigating restructuring.” Why do students, elected to the S.A., feel the need to “investigate” their peers? Rather than spending entire meetings ineffectively debating the composition of a body that will “investigate” restructuring, we recommend that members take a step back and engage in dialogue with the students they represent. Members of the S.A. are elected to be public servants. It is time to embrace that task and serve the public.

I also happen to be Jewish, and, like I do every fall, spent two days observing the Holiday of Rosh Hashanah with my family.

Beyond the fact that I have already given to Cornell this year, nothing makes me feel more disrespected than Cornell, a University with a strong Jewish community, contacting Jewish alumni on a Jewish holiday to ask for additional donations without the forethought to avoid contact during one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar year.

Few things are as special to me as my Cornell education, and it is something I would like to keep supporting for generations to come — but I would like to feel good about it. I am shocked and appalled that the Annual Fund has not taken holidays into consideration during the plans for solicitation (though I am certain no one will be calling alumni on Christmas), and hope this will be addressed immediately.

How Not to Write An Essay F

irst, notice that you classmates are asking the professor a lot of questions about the big paper that was due in the middle of the semester. They must be getting a crazy head start, the sycophants. Check Blackboard (it’s probably not due) and realize that the big paper is due in two days. Feel your heart momentarily stop. When exactly did it become October? You don’t remember.

Decide that the thing to do is to write the whole paper tonight and then spend tomorrow editing. Fifteen pages isn’t too bad, right? Read over the assignment on Blackboard. Walk to Jason’s and buy two Hershey’s bars and microwave popcorn, for sustenance. Read over the assignment again. Okay. Ready. Except, maybe you’d feel more ready to work if you took a break first. Just a short Netflix break. You’re on the third season of House of Cards, and that’s a very intellectual show, all those governmental loopholes and advanced vocabulary. Watching one episode would almost prepare you to write. It certainly couldn’t hurt to watch one, could it?

Watch that first episode. Watch another. Watch a third and fourth and after the fifth episode, notice the clock. My God, it’s nearly ten. Decide that you need a change of scenery. Head to Olin. Hope there’s still a decent seat left, one next to an outlet and nowhere near anybody coughing or sniffing or showing any symptoms of the perpetual plague going on around here. Browse Facebook. Scroll through the Humans of New York page until you forget that you’re supposed to finding sources. Wonder why Wikipedia doesn’t count as a source; you’re certainly going to use it anyway. Google “why can’t I use

Take no breaks. There. There is it, all 15 pages and a works cited, with a few hours to spare. It’s not half bad, either. Submit the essay to Blackboard. Take that, Ivy League education system.

Wikipedia?” and get…oh look, Wikipedia. Run into a friend at the library who’s walking back to their apartment. You’re tired; you might as well go with them. Go home and set your alarm for six in the morning. You know you can get up then, when the world is quiet, and bang out at least half the essay, easy peasy.

Wake up what seems like minutes later to a shrill beeping noise. Who in the world set their phone to make that ungodly noise in the middle of the night? The sun isn’t even up yet.

Realize that Midnight You thought Early Morning You would happily write this paper. Curse Midnight You — that idiot.

Rationalize your decision to hit snooze by resolving to work on the essay during your first class, a move that will no doubt inhibit your ability to write the essay for that class. Go back to sleep.

Exhausted, finish classes in the afternoon. Decide that you can take a little nap — after all, you’ve got all night to write the darn thing. Wake up three hours later with the imprint of your spiral notebook on your cheek. You’ve missed three messages; your friends want to get dinner. You certainly can’t bail on them, and Thai food waits for no school paper. Return home with around twelve hours left to write the paper.

Daydream about submitting this godforsaken assignment and instruct your roommate to whack you with their calculus notes if they see you on social media. Walk down to Jason’s for more chocolate and popcorn — you still need sustenance.

Make the popcorn and realize you can’t type and eat popcorn at the same time, that would be insane. Popcorn is for television purposes. Just one episode…

Look up at the right hand corner of your computer and realize it’s midnight. Okay, it might be time to start this thing.

Type furiously, half-asleep, until three in the morning. Take no breaks. There. There is it, all 15 pages and a works cited, with a few hours to spare. It’s not half bad, either. Submit the essay to Blackboard. Take that, Ivy League education system.

Bask in the glory of your success. Enjoy your satisfaction — that is, until the grades come back.

How to Get Thicker Brows T

hick brows are the new trend and I bet you’re wondering how to obtain them. People have become obsessed with filling in their brows to get a sharper, more defined look. Queen Kylie Jenner often rocks this gorgeous trend along with her notably full lips coated with a layer of nude lipstick that really pops against her golden, bronze skin. It’s something we’re all dying to have and I’m here to tell you the simplest way to have these features: being born with them! This method is quick and easy; you only have to do it once for a lifetime guarantee of beauty!

There are countless articles and makeup tutorials on how to fill in a person’s eyebrows and overdraw lips that emphasize the way that these two features are now a part of a fashion trend. I need to clarify that I don’t have any issues with people getting plastic surgery to alter how they look, but the problem is more so the way that people capitalize and aestheticize these features that aren’t tied to identity. The number one example of this idea that everyone always uses is Kylie Jenner. At only 19, she has become a pop culture and fashion “icon” along with every other one of her sisters featured on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I’ll admit I’ve never seen this show and have only been exposed to clips my friends show me or anything that pops up on my social media, but even as a passive witness, I am able to see the way that she dominates our culture today. She has her own popular lipstick line because her full and pouty lips have become something that many wish to adopt.

The issue that many have discussed with her lips is that it takes something that people of color have been living with for years and have been made to feel ashamed of because they did not align with Eurocentric beauty standards.

Kylie and the rest of her family are known for the way that they take from PoC features and aesthetics and make them acceptable in mainstream society; when a white girl does it, it finally becomes beautiful. White girls everywhere are now aiming to have these looks that people of color have had for years, and the fact that they are considered to be popular is really uncomfortable.

The obsession with lips is everywhere. People have been overdrawing their lips or pouting them in pictures to make them seem fuller.

Whenever I see this, it just makes me feel uncomfortable on multiple levels; one generally being that it just doesn’t look right. When I see a white person with overdrawn lips, it feels like something is off and I’m only focused on that one aspect of their face.

Eyebrows are a similar story but aren’t as noticeable as lips and have not been as heavily discussed.

Many women of color are made fun of for being hairy, it’s just a sad fact. Our hair is dark and thick, so it’s very prominent on our bodies as opposed to white bodies that often have thinner and lighter colored hairs. From a young age, women, especially women of color, feel like they need to shave and trim everything in order to fit in with all the other less hairy women. It’s an insecurity that I know I had when I was younger and upon discussing this with other women of color, they also felt this way.

One of the hairy points of contention have been our eyebrows. Brown and Black women are known to have naturally thick, bushy eyebrows. We are taught to maintain them and present them a certain way along with the rest of the hair on our bodies.

It is now becoming more popular to shape and fill in your eyebrows to make them appear to be thicker and defined on your face, some-

thing that women of color often naturally have and are made to feel ashamed of. In the same way that I’m not opposed to plastic surgery, I’m also not saying I’m opposed to the use of makeup. I love makeup and use it all the time, but my issue is when people try to recreate something on their privileged bodies that those with marginalized bodies have historically been made to hate about themselves. What makes me feel so uncomfortable is that I know that from my own perspective I have hated these aspects of my body for years.

When I was eight years old I thought my eyebrows were too thick, so I thought it would be a good idea to trim the hair and ended up cutting off my eyebrows, which is now both a funny and somber memory. I hated my lips because they were fuller and “pretty girls” didn’t seem to have the same size lips as I did, etc.

I’ve hated my eyebrows, lips, and other features of my body for years, but I’m thrilled that I can begin to feel more comfortable, because it’s finally beautiful now because white girls want it. It’s actually kind of messed up, and I wish that these features were more accepted on the bodies that were born with them. There’s a difference between progression and co-opting for your own gain: one works towards abolishing systems and recognizing where you might be taking things from, the other is a form of colonialism, just taking from communities with little to no recognition and continued violence towards them. It may seem like just a fashion trend or makeup style, but it’s necessary to realize where these “trends” are coming from and how they might be considered harmful.

Researchers Uncover Genetic Variations Responsible for Tumor Virus in Horses Compare genomes of affected horses to discover which breeds are more susceptible 1.

No horsing around l (1) Doug Antczak: the man behind the discovery. (2) Sarcoid tumor on a horse’s ear.

By SAM NADELL Sun Contributor

At Cornell University’s Baker Institute for Animal Health, groundbreaking horse health research is not surprising but standard. Such is the tone with which Prof. Doug Antczak ’69, animal science, refers to various scientific feats that have emerged from the 66year-old facility, although the professor mentions the endeavors of his predecessors before his own work.

Regardless, Antczak, in collaboration with colleagues from Cornell University, the University of Glasgow, Iowa State University and the University of Florida, recently published findings from a research project of their own. The team proposed that genetic differences in horse species could allow for papillomavirus-induced sarcoid (skin) tumors to grow in some horses and not others.

This papillomavirus is similar to one found in humans, known as Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and the group’s findings could shed light on whether certain people are more susceptible to the virus and subsequently the cervical cancer it causes.

Sarcoid skin tumors are the “most common tumor of any kind described in the horse,” Antczak said, with tumors coming in various shapes and sizes and potentially occurring anywhere on a horse’s body.

Although these tumors are often not fatal – they are categorized as non-malignant – the placement of a tumor could interfere with the functionality of the horse, for example if the tumor lies in the same location as where the saddle sits. Horses get sarcoid tumors if they are exposed to papillomavirus, but the way certain horses became exposed to the virus was misunderstood prior to this study.

Now, Antczak believes that histocompatibility genes, responsible for ensuring that tissues are compatible in different horses, are the root of why not all horses are equally susceptible to these tumors. The team came to this conclusion based on a genomewide

association study in which they compared the genomes of horses suffering from sarcoid tumors to those that were not.

“We determined that horses of certain breeds got sarcoid [skin tumors] more often than other breeds,” Antczak said.

He first noticed a difference in horse susceptibility after combing through decades of veterinary hospital

“We determined that horses of certain breeds got sarcoid [skin tumors] more often than other breeds.”

Doug Antczak admission records. From this, Antczak proposed that Standardbred horses are missing a specific gene that would otherwise allow for sarcoid tumors to grow.

Antczak compared the presence of this specific histocompatibility gene to differences in eye color.

“If a disease-free population is made up of people with exclusively brown eyes, and a disease is known to be associated with people who have blue eyes, then the gene for blue eyes most likely allows for you to get that disease,” Antczak said. “Here, it’s exactly the same thing, except instead of having brown and blue eyes, you’ve got 10 different colors.”

In this way, sarcoid tumors are considered a complex disease, impacted by both a genetic and an environmental component. The genetic component is the histocompatibility gene that allows the horse to acquire the papillomavirus, while the environmental component is the exposure to the virus itself.

Cervical cancer in humans is also a complex disease, except the virus of importance is HPV, a type of papillomavirus which is specific to humans. Despite the difference in species, however, the general mechanism of obtaining the disease is the same.

“There are genetic variations in the same genetic region in women with cervical carcinoma caused by Human Papillomavirus,” Antczak said, referring to where the genes for papillomavirus susceptibility was discovered in horses.

Thus, just as animal scientists can now identify which horse breeds are more likely to become infected by the papillomavirus, doctors may one day be able to identify which humans are more susceptible to HPV. It is important to note that while papillomavirus may be linked to certain histocompatibility genes in horses, humans and many other mammalian species, the exact mechanism behind why this is the case is still a mystery. Additionally, while animal scientists may now be able to determine which horse breeds are more likely to get exposed to the papillomavirus, the range of susceptibility in horses of the same breed is yet to be quantified.

Despite these unknowns, Antczak considers this project one of his favorites because of these very complexities.

“It’s got everything,” Antczak said. “It’s a tumor, it’s an infection which causes a tumor, there’s a genetic basis, there’s lots of variation that we don’t understand and it’s an important disease in humans, of course.”

Research Team Prototypes Spacecraft Propelled by Water

Infinite Opportunities l Thermal vacuum chamber where the CubeSat was tested.

By DARREN CHOW Sun Contributor

What would you explore if you owned your own spacecraft? The rings of Saturn? The surface of Mars?

Research conducted by Cornell University’s Cislunar Explorers could soon make these dreams a reality.

By trying to create a spacecraft capable of using water as rocket fuel, Prof. Mason Peck, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and his team of engineers, hopes to revolutionize space exploration.

"Life on Earth and the success of human civilization is dependent on sunlight and water,” Peck said. “The things that make us successful inhabitants of this planet can make us successful inhabitants of other planets. In this case, our spacecraft uses those everyday resources to explore the cosmos."

The Cislunar Explorers team, named for its mission of exploring regions between the Earth and the Moon, has an extraordinary goal. The team, comprised of Peck, Kyle Doyle grad and several other students, aims to send a spacecraft, nicknamed CubeSat, around the moon using nothing but an object “the size of a cereal box”. If successful, this 10x20x30 spacecraft will be the first to demonstrate water based propulsion by storing the liquid during launch and converting it to rocket fuel once in orbit.

“We’re trying to demonstrate that water is all you need for sustainable exploration of the solar system,” said Peck, who previously served as NASA’s chief technologist. “If we could depend on the mass that is already in space, such as water, to fuel the spacecraft, the cost would be significantly lower and we could do a lot more exploration."

The spacecraft uses a process known as electrolytic propulsion to move. Electrolytic propulsion is the breakdown of a liquid, using an electric current, into simpler chemicals that can be used to enable thrust. In this case, water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen to be burned as rocket fuel. The team made important design decisions to ensure that such a process could even be used. The spacecraft is made up of two L-shaped halves that separate after launch, causing each to spin. This spin helps separate liquid water from the hydrogen and oxygen produced during electrolysis.

Doyle uses the analogy of exploring New York City to explain how the CubeSat pinpoints its exact location.

"I think for the optical navigation system the best

analogy would be landmarks. We’re looking at the sun, the earth and the moon and we know at any given moment where the three bodies are. We take pictures of them from our spacecraft which tells us where it is in reference to those bodies,” Doyle said. “It's very much like navigating your way in New York City by looking at the Empire State Building or following landmarks anywhere else.”

Doyle points out that in order to maximize efficiency and minimize the use of resources, the team intertwined different aspects of the CubeSat. A specific example is the use of water on board the spacecraft. He said the team carries water on board to use as a propellant, but also uses it for other things, and needs heat to keep the

“Since water is such an effective propellant and is so common throughout the solar system, future spacecraft could land, gather water and go on to other planets.”

Kyle Doyle liquid from freezing.

“Another problem we face is that in space there’s no easy way to get rid of the waste heat from our electronics.” Doyle said. “In order to solve these problems, we heat synced our electronics to the water propellant tank, so that the waste heat from the electronics could be drawn away. This keeps the water warm and our electronics from overheating. Our spacecraft is full of subtle tricks like that. We’re really trying to make the design

clever but not complicated.”

Several aspects were considered when choosing water as a rocket propellant, including its accessibility, safety and price.

"Since water is such an effective propellant and is so common throughout the solar system, future spacecraft could land, gather water and go on to other planets."

Doyle said.

Peck added that safety must be a central concern of any such mission.

"In my opinion, it’s the most obvious propellant to use. Water is about as non-toxic as liquids get,” Peck said. ” Even what they call green propellant, which is a modern concept for low toxicity propellant is not that safe."

One of Doyle’s most memorable experiences while working on the CubeSat was when he and his team found an interesting way to solve a particularly challenging problem.

“We needed some way to study the spacecraft while it was in microgravity, or free fall,” Doyle said. “What we decided to do was take a pottery wheel and attach the spacecraft to it with an electromagnet. We hung that upside down over a cushioned pit and dropped the spacecraft while it was spinning. It was such a bizarre approach to what we thought was a simple problem.”

The team’s passion for advancing space science is evident. While the Cislunar Explorers team is competing in NASA’s Cube Quest Challenge Tournament, which inspired the project and awards $5.5 million to the winning team, they readily share their findings with others.

"Democratization of information is a key feature of this project. All the designs, all the software, it’s all online. It’s all free,” Peck said. “So even though we’re in a competition, we are sharing our discoveries with the world. If we’re successful in this, anyone who wants to build a water-powered spacecraft could do that."

As an experienced professor of aerospace engineering, Peck shared a few words of wisdom with budding engineers.

“Care about what you work on,” Peck said. “You have this rare opportunity to really make an impact. If you care about it, that’s a key ingredient for people to be successful in their careers. In the long term, if you really care about what you’re doing, there are really no limits for an engineering degree.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT O TE S T S P I N S Baba Brinkman The Rap Guide to Climate Chaos

O

O Katie Sims I have a lot of admiration for music as a way of sharing information and ideas. It has the power to bring people joy and excitement, to catalyze casual or critical thinking and to incite discussion and reflection on problems. Music also teaches in a way that’s memorable and comprehensible. It has incited social and political change time and time again, and has ingrained all sorts information into minds. Because of its capacity for influencing and teaching, musicians like Baba Brinkman have tried to capture its power for education.

Baba Brinkman’s 18th educational hip-hop release, The Rap Guide to Climate Chaos, takes on climate change, spitting verses on everything from policy to ecology to religion. He throws in nearly every vocabulary word from an introductory environmental science class, earning some real scientific merit when the information is correct. He casts moral judgements freely, referring to the United States’ lack of action on climate change and the religious implications of pollution and environmentalism. He throws in some wellestablished slang for street cred, dedicating a whole song to the “beef ” between deniers of climate change and the scientific community, as well as one entitled “Mo Carbon Mo Problems.” He runs the gamut, adding every facet he can to intrigue listeners.

The problem with his reach for these elements is that Brinkman does none of them particularly well. All of the interest groups he reaches for — rap music, science and religion — are dispelled by the mediocrity of his execution.

Musically, the album is not well developed. The

If George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road set the gold standard for a director returning to an old franchise and Steven Spielberg’s return to Indiana Jones with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is an example of a flop, then Paul Greengrass’s effort for Jason Bourne lands squarely in the middle. The action is as exciting as ever and all the performances are engaging, but the movie’s title indicates just how little effort was put into making the latest installment of the Bourne franchise fresh and unique.

The film continues the original trilogy’s story of former CIA assassin Jason Bourne, once again played subtly but convincingly by Matt Damon. The details of the plot are more or less unimportant. Bourne is still on the run and he’s still trying to find out information about his past (and the sky's still blue, by the way). New people are out to catch him, however, when CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) orders CIA cyber head Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) to organize the hunt for Bourne. The relationship between the two adds intrigue throughout, and Tommy Lee Jones is in peak disgruntled, old-age Tommy Lee Jones form.

It’s a relief to have Greengrass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, behind the camera once again after the disappointing, Matt Damonless The Bourne Legacy from 2012. I love the first three Bourne films, and one of their greatest merits is Greengrass’s ability to make chaotic action sequences coherent despite lots of quick cutting. His talents are on

display from the onset in Jason Bourne. After a few introductory scenes, we get a thrilling, nearly 15-minute chase through a violent riot in Athens with policemen and protesters flooding the streets. It is one of a number of kinetic, realistic sequences involving a fight or a chase amid big city mayhem.

whose data Dewey wishes to use as part of his new assassination programs. Other than a shallow, unnecessary debate on privacy rights, this storyline does nothing but disrupt a hallmark of the Bourne films: their total, undivided attention on the titular character. When I go to a Bourne movie, I want to watch Bourne.

Whereas the original trilogy was carried by the underlying momentum of Bourne working to uncover his identity after his amnesia, this film has no such drive. For a sequel nine years in the making, Jason Bourne is disappointedly detached from the rest of the franchise. Ultimatum was so successful at tying up loose ends and bringing the trilogy to a satisfying close that the writers needed a much stronger effort to justify the existence of a continuation to the story. Jason Bourne doesn’t raise the stakes, and it strips the series of its narrative progression that once elevated it above simply being a grimmer, gloomier version of Mission Impossible.

That being said, other than story, the movie still has everything you loved about the first three films: extended car chases, COURTESY OF UNIVERSAL PICTURES shaky-cam phone conversations, people in a control room looking at camera footage and Though the movie delivers on the action front, its talking about “assets,” and lots and lots of Jason Bourne story comes up short.

Five Frighteningly Fantastic Horror Comics

alloween’s just around the corner, and most of you are enjoying your annual reminder that you actually enjoy the horror genre. However, if you’re anything like me you know that horror is truly a genre for all seasons — nothing really brings catharsis quite so viscerally as a good scare. The artists and publishers of comics have been aware of the fascination horror provokes for as long as the medium has existed as an industry — horror and crime were once the two most popular genres in North American comic books until the rampant censorship laws of the 1950s quashed the flourishing scene (more on that another day). However, outside the United States the nightmare never ended, with some spectacular spooky stories coming out of countries like Japan and France, and by the 1980s North American horror comics had a comeback with titles like Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing and the early issues of Chester Brown’s Yummy Fur providing deeply personal takes on the body horror found in films like The Thing. It seems now that the monster hiding under the bed is here to stay, so here are a few favorites of mine to read with lights on.

THE DRIFTING CLASSROOM

you like horror comics. The cartoonist, filmmaker and Budō swordsman has drawn upon his painful childhood memories of WWII Manchuria over decades of graphically lurid, at times searingly personal, horror stories for readers of all walks of life, reaching into the fears of schoolchildren and gorehounds alike. One of his greatest (and most readily available) comics is The Red Snake, an elliptical, surreal parade of Oedipal nightmare imagery that would give Freud a heart attack.

A scared little boy with eyes the size of saucer pans wanders about his family’s home, a place where evil lurks “within the walls.” We are treated to voyeuristic glimpses of the grand guignolesque follies of our narrator’s family — the abusive, alcoholic father, the grandmother who believes she is a chicken, the sister and her nocturnal liaisons with the titular red snake. This gyrating freakshow of the Japanese family reaches a mutant crescendo as our narrator is left to discover (and perhaps forget?) that there is no escape. Something evil lurks within the walls. There’s this intense terror of deformity within the confines of tradition in The Red Snake, a fear built upon people suddenly behaving in a way that defies sense in the confines of a structure that renders their irrationality all-encompassing. The work bears some resemblance to some of the films of David Lynch, particularly the ceaselessly cerebral surrealism of Eraserhead. But where Eraserhead is at its core a metaphor for fatherhood (albeit a creepy one), The Red Snake is essentially the terror of a child discovering the realities and irrationalities of the traditional family unit.

by Kazuo Umezu Great comics have a way of lodging themselves in the reader’s mind, phrases and images returning to the reader like a timeless memory. I cannot think of a comic with moments I can recall more viscerally than The Drifting Classroom. It’s a panel in the third volume, previewed in the backmatter of the second, in which a child is being burned at the stake, shrieking in agony as the fires roar (he makes it out OK in the end). In viewing this page, the reader experiences a powerfully abject image. The fascination the image provokes grows deeper when you realize you are in fact reading a children’s comic, serialized in a magazine for ten year old boys.

in the middle of the woods, her internal decay forcing the cute little ones out into the harshness of nature. Our diminutive heroines must survive their surroundings and each other as internal harmony is shattered by external danger. Few, if any, will survive this dangerous ordeal. Rendered in lush, expressive watercolors by the husband and wife team Kerascoet, Beautiful Darkness is a grim fairy tale which serves as an allegory for the deconstruction of identity, the little people embodying aspects of the idealized girl that break down and destroy each other as she decomposes in the dirt… or perhaps matures? The ending of the book is all about compromise in the face of barely surviving, and it’s heartbreaking because it is real.

A BODY BENEATH

by Michael Deforge Michael Deforge is probably my favorite cartoonist active today. A prolific artist, Deforge’s stories depict people uncomfortable with their identity, experiencing bodily changes amidst alien environments, explored through schematic lineart and dry wit. Deforge has hardly constrained himself to horror work, but his comics are rooted in a Cronenbergian approach to body horror, and this can be seen best in the stories contained in A Body Beneath, a collection of stories from his oneman anthology LOSE. The title alone evokes something under the skin, something slimy looking to crawl out of the flesh and walk free. The cover depicts a cartoon dog with oily dark skin, perhaps a kind of tar or well varnished leather (both dogs and leather are a recurring obsession in Deforge’s work). Within, we are informed that the artist began drawing these stories after a failed suicide attempt in a sparse introduction. From there we turn to heartfelt stories of crawly weirdness, from the boy-and-his-maggot-infested-horse-head charmer “It’s Chip” to the leather-themed conspiracy theory/post-adolescence coming of age tale “Someone I Know”. I compared Deforge’s body horror mode to Cronenberg before, and the comparison is apt - both are very understated even when presenting truly gonzo transformations — but Deforge is a more emotionally tender storyteller. It’s in stories like “The Sixties” where we see this best, an earnest account of a teenage girl’s desire to leave her hometown enhanced by a surreal conceit I won’t dare spoil here. These are some creepy comics that also happen to be among the best the medium has to offer.

BLACK RIVER

by Josh Simmons If you are looking for the future of horror comics, I could not think of a better artist to name than Josh Simmons. Bleak and weird, a Josh Simmons comic starts with a compelling idea then takes it to its logical conclusion, bringing the reader seeking the amusement of seeing f*cked up sh*t to to a place of true grotesquery and discomfort that transcends the horrorhound impulse.

Black River may be Simmons’ greatest work to date, not as disgusting as some of his short stories but a powerful, sustained vision that refuses to be forgotten.

In a post-apocalyptic future of seemingly ceaseless winter, a community of hard-bitten, mostly female survivors make their way across the hellish landscape in search of something, anything better. These survivors are people — they crack jokes and make love and work hard to survive — which makes the sudden turn about midway through the book all the more shocking, when the gang is captured and must escape sadistic torture or die trying. Simmons carries the difficult story through immaculate, handmade cartooning and earthy dialog, adding humanity to a story where humanity is dying away. In the midst of a glut of apocalypse-flavored power fantasies that soothe the reader with visions of survival and nuclear families (*cough*thewalkingdead*cough), Black River is a book that shows you the end of the world and makes sure that you do not feel fine, one of the essential scary stories of the decade so far.

Cornell Turns Attention to Post After Second Consecutive Loss

Effective special teams play insufficient to overcome potent Army offense and offensive, defensive woes SPRINT FOOTBALL Continued from page 16

in the second quarter, as it recovered two Army fumbles, and subsequently scored its first touchdown against the Knights since 2014.

Army led Cornell, 29-10, through the first two quarters.

Needing a spark because its offense was having trouble moving the ball, Cornell elected to begin the second half with an onside kick, which was recovered by the Red on its own 46-yard line.

Despite the effective special teams play, Ostrander and the offense were stuffed by the efficient Army defense, handing the ball right back to the home team, which led to yet another Army touchdown and extended the team’s lead to 36-10.

With just under a minute left in the third quarter, Army sophomore backup quarterback Brady Miller found the end zone with a 15-yard touchdown rush.

In a relatively uneventful fourth quarter, freshman linebacker Donald Stimpson was able to force a safety with 3:55 remaining in the game, which provided a glimmer of hope for the Red. However, after 60 minutes of competition, the Knights soundly defeated the Red, 43-12, for the team’s sixth consecutive victory over Cornell.

Although the game was relatively one-sided, some bright spots for the Red heading forward included Ostrander’s performance at quarterback, junior Ryman Seeley’s performance at wide receiver, and junior Evan Ball’s performance at running back. Ostrander ended the night with 144 passing yards, Seeley caught six passes for 65 yards and Ball led the team with 32 yards on the ground against an Army defense that only allowed an average of 17 rushing yards through its first three games.

“It was another tough loss, but Army is a really solid team, and we knew that going to their place to play would be a big challenge for us,” Seeley said. “They were able to move the ball through the air, and it helped them get a big

who shared Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week honors with Banks last week, finished with 229 passing yards and a touchdown.

Before the game, Archer emphasized that putting pressure on the Crimson quarterback would be critical to the team’s success. While the team was relatively successful at getting past Harvard’s vaunted offensive line, Viviano showed he can be just as dangerous with his legs. He rushed for 57 yards, including several critical first downs. “[The defense] put pressure on him and it forces him to try to make plays with his legs,” Archer said.

“Which is, from defensive perspective, a real threat when the quarterback can run. I think the Harvard quarterback was able to extend some plays when we had pretty good coverage.”

Thanks to strong rushing from Viviano, Harvard tacked on another score just as the first quarter ended, giving the Crimson a 14-7 lead.

The defenses appeared to be locked in as the second quarter began, forcing interceptions and halting the opposing team’s offense. Both teams traded picks in the quarter, but neither threatened to score.

Archer praised the efforts from his defense, noting that, despite the loss, the Red was able to play near its best against one of the

top offenses in the country.

“I thought our defense played really, really tough,” Archer said.

After being held scoreless in the second quarter, Harvard opened the third with a touchdown, but Cornell blocked the point after kick to keep the Crimson within 13. The Red seemed to bounce back immediately from the score, marching down the field to Harvard’s 21-yard line, but Banks was intercepted again — this time in the endzone.

The Crimson turned Banks’ mis-

“[I’m] very disappointed with the outcome of the game, but I still see a tremendous amount of progress... ” David Archer ’05 take into points, methodically working down the field to convert a 31yard field goal.

More strong defense from the Crimson continued to shut down Cornell for the majority of the second half, deflating hopes of a magical comeback like last week against Colgate. Harvard tacked on another touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, extending the Crimson’s lead to 22.

With the clock ticking down, the Red’s offense began to click in the fourth quarter, and the Red scored when

Rogers snagged a 29-yard pass from Banks. But after Harvard recovered the ensuing onsides kick, the fate of the game was all but sealed, and Cornell’s hopes for an undefeated season came to an end.

Despite the loss, the game represents a marked improvement from last year. In 2015, Harvard racked up almost 500 offensive yards against Cornell in the Crimson’s 40-3 blowout. This year, the Red limited Harvard’s high-powered offense to just 388 yards.

Archer acknowledged that there were certainly some positives in the loss. “[I’m] very disappointed with the outcome of the game but I still see a tremendous amount of progress in our program and that’s what we’re here to do,” Archer said. “I see this as a great opportunity for growth for our 2016 football team” This week brings a new challenge for Cornell football: practicing after coming off of a loss. Archer mentioned that the team’s early winning streak had perhaps made the men of the program overlook ways in which they could improve.

With a full week leading up to next Saturday’s home game against Sacred Heart, all eyes will look to see whether or not the team can bounce back from the loss and fix the weaknesses that were made apparent against the Crimson.

lead early on.”

“Ultimately, the lead they built on us early was too much for us to overcome, but I felt that we gave Army a good fight.”

This marks the second consecutive loss for the Red, who was stunned last week on the road by Chestnut Hill 29-24.

“Losing twice in a row is never fun, but we have a bye week ahead of us to prepare for Post, so I expect to win,” Seeley said.

Cornell will look to get back in the win column after a bye week, when they host Post on Oct. 21 at Schoellkopf Field. Last season, the Red defeated the Eagles 44-6.

“In terms of the second half of the season, it’s like a brand new year for us,” said senior running back Kevin Nathanson. “We have a week off to get everybody healthy and to get prepared for Post.”

Losing Jobs: The ‘Sack Race’ LINSEY

Continued from page 16

Like Bilic, there are rumors that the chairman is unhappy with Pulis’s defensive style of play.

Adequately Doing Their Job

Manchester United’s Jose Mourinho and Chelsea’s Antonio Conte are both experiencing some growing pains as they settle at these big clubs. Both are unlikely to be fired in the near future, but results need to improve if they want to stay for the long-term. Burnley’s Sean Dyche and Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe are currently keeping small-budget clubs out of the relegation zone, a commendable achievement that will keep them in their roles. Watford’s Walter Mazzarri has done well, but the Pozzo family (who own the team) are known to be very quick to fire the team’s manager if anything goes wrong. In this way, Mazzarri will be constantly looking over his shoulder. Southampton’s Claude Puel and Crystal Palace’s Alan Pardew are enjoying solid runs of form for their teams, but both could conceivably be fired later this season if things go south.

Impressive Work

Tottenham Hotspur’s Mauricio Pocchettino is proving to be a very successful manager. At his old club Southampton, he developed a reputation for positive attacking play and for reliance on youth. He has adopted the same strategy at Tottenham, deploying an attack of young talents Dele Alli and Harry Kane. Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp has built an attacking juggernaut, but the defense needs some work. Fenway Sports Group, the American ownership group, is unlikely to fire him as long as they score regularly. Ronald Koeman took over this summer at the other Merseyside club, Everton, and has largely impressed, with Everton in fifth place so far.

He has solidified the team’s defense, even after the summer sale of John Stones.

Job For Life

CAMERON POLLACK / SUN PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Manchester City has wanted Pep Guardiola to be its manager for years. Now that they have Guardiola and he has led them to first place, they won’t let him go. Leicester City’s Claudio Ranieri has this job for as long as he wants it after the team’s fairytale championship win last season. Lastly, Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger, having just celebrated his 20th year in charge of the club, is the definition of this category.

Kevin Linsey is a second year hot columnist. He can be contacted at klinsey@cornell.edu. The Beautiful Game appears alternate Mondays this semester.

Football Undefeated No Longer Hungry for upset, Red falls to perennial powerhouse Harvard

By ADAM BRONFIN Sun Sports Editor

With high hopes and unbridled confidence, Cornell football entered Saturday’s clash against Harvard on a three-game winning streak, hungry for another upset. But once the game started, Ivy League powerhouse FOOTBALL Harvard showed why the Crimson, not the Red, is the winningest program in Division I FCS football since 2001.

Winning 27 of its last 28 games, the Crimson defeated Cornell, 29-13, halting the Red’s winning streak at three.

Harvard now stands as the only undefeated team in the league.

The Red entered the game hoping to upend Harvard and earn its second road victory over a ranked team in as many weeks, after not winning one such game for the previous 66 years.

But it was not to be.

“I love playing Harvard because you pick the first play off,” Archer said.

Trend Shows Manager Job Loss T

he ball sailed through the air in the Swansea City penalty area, where the team’s right full-back, Angel Rangel, anticipated its descent. However, he misjudged the ball’s flight, allowing Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino to beat him to the ball.

Rangel shoved the Brazilian in the back and Firmino fell to the ground. The referee pointed to the penalty spot, where James Milner would score Liverpool’s late winning goal in a 2-1 decision. Several days later, Swansea City’s manager Francesco Guidolin was fired and replaced by the American Bob Bradley, after widespread reports that Swansea needed to beat Liverpool to save Guidolin’s job. The Italian Guidolin was just seven games into his first full season on the job and is the first Premier League manager to be fired this campaign.

Kevin Linsey The Beautiful Game In recent seasons, Premier League chairmen have had decreasing patience with their managers. A run of five games without a win or 10 games with only a few wins could lead to managers “getting the sack,” as the Brits call it. The unfortunate Guidolin was the first to go, but there will undoubtedly be more sackings as the season goes on. Let’s assess the managers likely to be fired soon, all the way through those who have the job as long as they want it.

Be Watching LinkedIn, Just in Case

West Ham’s Slaven Bilic is the most likely to be fired next. There are rumors of boardroom discontent with his performance this season, after an outstanding campaign last time around. In his defense, his team has been besieged by injuries. Stoke City’s Mark Hughes really struggled to get his team going this season, and the Potters have the worst goal difference in the 20team Premier League. Sunderland’s David Moyes is also in this section, because his team is in last place with only two points from seven games. Given Moyes’s pedigree and the fact he was just hired this summer, logically results will improve as he settles in, so it would be surprising to see him fired in the next few weeks.

In Charge for Now, But Don’t Slip Up

Middlesbrough’s Aitor Karanka leads the next section, as his team started the season promisingly but has struggled since. Given Karanka has excelled as the team’s manager for the past two years in the lower divisions, he will likely be given at least until January to show he is the best coach for the team’s Premier League adventure. Another newly promoted manager, Hull City’s Mike Phelan, is also going through a sticky spell after two wins to start the season. As an interim manager, his job is also less secure. West Bromwich’s Tony Pulis could be sacked soon as well, despite the fact that his club occupies ninth place, a good position considering the club’s aims.
