Cornell Severs JanSport Ties

Baby, you’re a firework

Parent company failed to sign worker safety accord

By ANUSHKA MEHROTRA Sun News Editor

Cornell broke ties with apparel manufacturer JanSport due to worker safety concerns in Bangladesh, the University announced Friday.

The partnership officially ended after President David Skorton sent a letter to Eric Wiseman, chief executive officer of the VF Corporation, the parent company of JanSport, according to the University.

In the letter, Skorton said he was concerned about for VF’s factory operations in Bangladesh.

“The sheer size of VF’s presence and influence in Bangladesh behooves the company to support all initiatives designed to improve worker and fac-

tory safety,” Skorton wrote in the letter.

In May, Cornell threatened to cut its affiliation with JanSport if its parent company did not sign the Accord on Fire in Building Safety — which seeks to make all Bangladesh apparel factories safe workplaces — by Sept. 30, according to the University. The Accord, a legally binding agreement, mandates publicly reporting the results of factory safety inspections.

Skorton said that Cornell would be “happy” to renew its partnership with JanSport in the future if the company decides to sign the worker safety agreement.

‘Cornell Now’ Campaign Goal Extended by $1B

Tailgate talkers

By ZOE FERGUSON Sun Senior Writer

After announcing it had exceeded its original $4.75 billion goal over the summer, the University has increased its “Cornell Now” campaign goal by one billion dollars, President David Skorton announced Friday.

The campaign surpassed its initial goal after reaching at least $4.79 billion by the end of June, the University announced last month. At his final State of the University address Friday, Skorton announced Cornell’s new campaign goal.

“Inspired by the momentum we have already achieved and pending formal board approval later today, I am pleased to announce that we plan to set a new campaign goal of $5.75 billion to be achieved by the Cornell Now campaign’s official end in December 2015,” he said.

Skorton said that the additional funds raised towards this new goal will support Cornell Tech, in addition to the Ithaca campus and Weill Cornell Medical College, which are already indicated as beneficiaries of the Cornell Now campaign.

“Our dreams are fueled and our endeavors [are] bolstered by the tremendous generosity of Cornell’s alumni, parents and friends,” Skorton said. “Thanks to you and other Cornellians, our total giving continues to raise above the $4.75 billion goal we surpassed last summer and separately the $600 million raised so far for Cornell

Tech.”

Skorton said he will continue to pursue this new fundraising goal, adding that he believes Cornell will reach the milestone before December 2015.

“I will do all I can to advance us toward this ambitious new goal during my remaining time at Cornell,” Skorton said. “I have no doubt that Elizabeth Garrett, who will become Cornell’s 13th president on July 1, is superbly equipped to move us forward in this and in so many other ways.”

Skorton said he thinks the Cornell Now campaign has

enhanced the school and will continue to do so through 2015.

“We are buoyed by the success of the Cornell Now campaign, to which so many of you have contributed, and the momentum we have going into this sesquicentennial year,” Skorton said. “I know we can continue to contribute to societal progress and individual success.”

Cornellians Dedicate Sesquicentennial Grove

By GABRIELLA LEE Sun Staff Writer

In a joint celebration of Cornell’s sesquicentennial and Homecoming weekend, students, faculty and alumni gathered to formally dedicate the Sesquicentennial Commemorative Grove on Friday.

The grove, which opened this semester, features 15 quotations and 26 events on a timeline engraved on the benches and walkway “in the hopes of capturing the spirit and history of this special university,” according to Natalie Rosseau ’16, the undergraduate student member of the Sesquicentennial Committee.

Prof. Isaac Kramnick, govern-

ment, said he thought of the idea in 2010 when initial planning for the sesquicentennial celebrations began. He noted that Cornell’s 100th birthday was not marked by the creation of any buildings, markers or plaques on campus.

“One of our first decisions was that the 150th birthday, unlike the 100th, would leave its mark,” Kramnick said. “Be it a building, a set of plaques, whatever it would be, its theme would be an effort to capture and represent Cornell’s unique history and spirit — the features that make it so special among institutions of higher learning in America.”

After securing the New York architectural design firm

Weiss/Manfredi, cofounded by Michael Manfredi ’80, to design something commemorative of Cornell’s sesquicentennial, the idea for a grove documenting Cornell’s history was born, according to Kramnick.

“Their firm … had a reputation for innovative blending of structural and landscape design.

It was their genius that came up with the idea of this magnificent grove as the way to convey the rich tapestry of Cornell history, with its engraved benches, its timeline underfoot and its plantings,” Kramnick said.

Additionally, the firm of Weiss/Manfredi also chose the grove’s location at the upper edge of Libe Slope overlooking West Campus, Cayuga Lake and the

Town of Ithaca, as a link to the statues of Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White on the Arts Quad.

Rosseau also spoke about the significance of the grove’s location.

“I currently live on West Campus and have walked by this grove every day on my way to class,” she said. “This memorial is a lasting testament to the scholarship, passion, ingenuity and idealism of a university students have come to love.”

In addition to Kramnick’s and Rousseau’s remarks at the dedication and a performance by the Cornell Glee Club and Cornell University Chorus, Robert Harrison ’76, chair of the Board of Trustees, also thanked the sesquicentennial Board of Trustees for funding the construction of the grove.

“Many future generations of Cornellians will benefit from this generous birthday present to Cornell,” Harrison said.

While co-chair of the Sesquicentennial Committee Nancy Meinig ’62 said that the sesquicentennial would conclude in 2015, she added that she hoped the grove would serve as an on-going reminder of Cornell’s history.

“Set here in granite and on this eternal hill, these words will stand as the years pass,” Kramnick said. “With some benches still empty of inscription and with much blank space after the timeline’s last entry, the grove will in years to come expand and evolve with newer voices and newer landmark moments and Cornell’s story will be forever glorious to view far above Cayuga’s waters.”

Gives final State of University address SKORTON

Continued from page 1

“Public engagement already enriches the intellectual, social and professional lives of our students, faculty and staff,” he said. “Just last week, we announced a new initiative, Engaged Cornell, that proposes to dramatically scale up our efforts in the next 10 years.”

The $150 million plan, partially funded by a $50 million gift from the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust, will require all undergraduate students to participate in community-engaged coursework by 2025, The Sun previously reported.

Skorton also outlined some of the “continuing” and “increasing” challenges that Cornell, as well as other institutions of higher education, face.

These topics ranged from the cost and affordability of a college education to issues of campus diversity and faculty tenure.

“In addition to continuing our robust program of need-based financial aid, we need to work to attenuate the rate of rise of tuition by controlling the costs of operating this university,” he said.

Besides stressing the affordability of education, Skorton said he believes all members of the Cornell community benefit when people of “many backgrounds and differing perspectives” are welcomed at Cornell.

“As of last fall, underrepresented minorities only accounted for about 7 percent of faculty, 5 percent of other academic employees and 6 percent of non-academic staff,” he said. “In attracting and selecting students, faculty and staff, we must seek out excellence from as broad a pool as possible.”

He also said it was important to defend the “institution of tenure,” though it must be coupled with “more robust faculty-directed, posttenure review.”

“Tenure is very important in my estimation to recruiting and retaining the best faculty and by extension, institutional excellence,” Skorton said.

Looking forward, Skorton said the University must reach out to serve the wider society on a more expansive scale.

“By taking a hard look at the issues I’ve mentioned and many others that surely will arise in finding the right balance, I know we can continue to contribute to societal progress and individual success,” he said.

and in Ithaca, according to Lyon.

Eligible students from New York State unenroll in their current Medicaid plan and enroll in CUSHIP-M to receive the benefits.

“The state thought this was a real win-win from the context of providing better access to care and increased portability of health insurance coverage,” Lyon said. “From a cost point of view, the cost of the student health plan was less expensive than what it costs the state of New York to pay for health insurance through Medicaid ... and it works better in Ithaca.”

According to Jo Ann MolnarKieffer, a student insurance administrator and member of the University’s Student Insurance Advisory Committee, the lack of plan coverage in Ithaca has meant most Medicaid recipients do not actually meet Cornell’s minimum coverage requirements, as monitored over the last several years.

“Most Medicaid plans pose an access-to-care issue,” MolnarKieffer said. “Now that we’ve created this CUSHIP-M program with the state, enrolled students have the benefit of a SHIP plan here [in Ithaca] with the same benefits of Medicaid back home.”

Students Praise JanSport Decision JANSPORT

Continued from page 1

Cornellians have previously protested the University’s partnership with JanSport, saying that the company supports sweatshop labor.

Last April, students rallied on Ho Plaza and demanded that the University terminate its ties with all companies that have not signed the Accord.

The University ended its partnership with all companies that refused to sign the Accord in February, according to an announcement from Skorton.

However, JanSport remained exempt from this decision.

Though VF operates in Bangladesh, JanSport itself does not directly do business in Bangladesh.

Therefore, JanSport remained exempt from the University’s February decision to cut ties with companies that did not sign the Accord.

Allison Considine ’17, a member of the Cornell Or ganization for Labor Action, said she is pleased with Cornell’s decision and its recognition of concerns held by students about the company.

“I think this is a really great example of how long-term, coordinated pressure campaigns can be really successful in a University setting,” Considine said. “I think it’s great that in his last year here Skorton is recognizing that students are really committed to this issue.”

According to Considine, this decision follows previous

Cornell decisions to cut ties with other apparel companies, such as Nike.

“There’s a pretty long history of Cornell responding to student activism around sweatshop-free apparel and Cornell being a leader in sending the message that our University won’t do business with brands that don’t treat workers right,” she said.

Michael Ferrer ’16, another member of COLA, said he is unsure how this stance will translate to other issues targeted by recent student activism, such as fossil fuel divestment.

“I think [the JanSport decision] indicates that the University might be willing to work with students on campaigns like divestment, but I think it would be saying too much to say that cutting Jansport equates to cutting ties with fossil fuels,” Ferrer said. “I think that will be a more difficult campaign.”

Considine agreed, saying that divestment “a lot more complicated” for the administration to consider.

“Our contract with JanSport doesn’t have a huge economic impact — it’s more symbolic,” Considine said. “Divesting from fossil fuels would require a lot of coordination on behalf of the people who manage our wealth at Cornell. But I think [cutting ties with JanSport] is a really good step in the right direction.”

Yemen Shiite Rebels Take Town South of Capitol

Hawaii Hit by Winds, Rain as Hurricane Veers West HONOLULU (AP) — Hurricane Ana was on course Saturday to miss Hawaii by more than a hundred miles while generating strong winds and heavy rains that prompted flash-flood warnings and lured surfers with high waves.

The center of the powerful Pacific storm was about 120 miles southwest of Honolulu, and it was losing speed as it churned southwest of the islands, the National Weather Service said.

“The intensity of Ana is slowly expected to weaken,” said Chris Brenchley, a weather service meteorologist.

A tropical storm warning was issued for Kauai and a tropical storm watch remained in effect on Oahu but was lifted for Maui, Lanai and the Big Island.

On Oahu, tourists and surfers at popular Waikiki Beach enjoyed ample waves created by the storm in the early afternoon that later gave way to choppy water.

“When the waves are good, you’ve got to get in,” said surfer Emile Meder, 23, who squeezed in a session before heading to work. “Every time we have a hurricane we know it’s going to be good.”

Rain fell early in the day on the island’s North Shore and Koolau Mountains, and slickened the island’s southeast shores. Waves were expected to crest to 10 to 20 feet on the south shores of the islands and remain high through Sunday.

At Sandy Beach State Park, where President Obama enjoys bodysurfing when he visits Hawaii, people ignored the “no swimming” signs.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen’s Shiite rebels captured a town south of the capitol Sanaa early on Sunday, when they also blew up the home of a rival Islamist politician, security officials said.

In Sanaa, the rebels, known as the Houthis, stormed the headquarters of the capital’s local government. According to officials, the rebels chased out the governor, AbdulGhani Jameel, who they accuse of corruption.

The Yemeni officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Sunday’s developments reflected the growing strength of the Houthis, who overran Sanaa last month and captured a key Red Sea port city last week along with a province south of the capital.

Early on Sunday, the Houthis captured the town of Yarim about 106 miles south of Sanaa in the province of Ibb. Yarim has a population of more than 100,000 and lies along the main road to Yemen’s southern provinces.

The Houthis, widely suspected to have links with Iran, took over the house of a prominent Islamist politician in Yarim on Saturday, setting off clashes that left 12 people dead. The politician, who comes from the powerful Islah Party, was not home at the time. On Sunday, according to

the officials, the Houthi rebels blew up the house.

The Houthis are at sharp odds with the Islah party and powerful Sunni tribes allied with it. The rebels say they are demanding a bigger share of power and a change to the country’s political order following the 2011 protests that forced longtime leader Ali Abdullah Saleh out of office.

But their military advances suggest they are seeking to take full control of Yemen’s northern provinces at a time when secessionist sentiments are growing in the once-independent south of Yemen.

On Sunday, thousands in the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeida demonstrated to press demands for the rebels to leave the city. Similar protests had taken place in Sanaa in recent weeks. In Yarim and in Ibb, where the Houthis have some military presence but are not in full control of the city, local authorities closed all schools on Sunday because of the tense security situation.

Yemen has been beset for years by an al-Qaida-led insurgency that has staged dozens of suicide attacks against military and security personnel. It also has endured crushing poverty that has bred resentment — and outright rebellion — that took root in a secessionist movement in its southern region.

Celebrating Cornell THE UNIVERSITY’S SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS continued this past weekend with the Trustee-Council Weekend and the Homecoming football game. Throughout the semester, the University has programmed events in honor of the occasion, including a reception in New York City and the dedication of a monument on Libe Slope in direct line with the statues of A. D. White and Ezra Cornell. Of course, the University deserves to celebrate this milestone; for 150 years, Cornell has been widely recognized as a top research university and a model for other institutions. However, we at The Sun encourage the University to use this opportunity not only to celebrate its past, but to continue its exemplary traditions into the future.

The University has a progressive history deserving of celebration. It was one of the first American colleges founded as a non-sectarian school. Cornell awarded bachelor’s degrees to African American students as early as 1890 and admitted its first female student as early as 1870, making it the first coeducational school among what came to be known as the Ivy League. Founded with the mission to “discover, preserve, and disseminate knowledge, produce creative work, and promote a culture of broad inquiry, the University has enhanced the lives and livelihoods of its students, the people of New York, and others around the world.” We believe that with a formative past, a culture for improvement as well as talented students, faculty and alumni, the University will be able to propel itself into the future as one of the top research institutions in the world.

However, we encourage students, faculty, staff and administration not only to dwell on past accomplishments but reflect on what it might accomplish in the future. The University faces challenges now that it can address. Engaging the University and students in discussions about the problems Cornell faces — such as policies relating to sexual assault, Greek life, financial aid and mental health — takes on incredible importance as we commemorate the sesquicentennial. We at The Sun urge the University to let its past guide it into the present and future.

Air Jordans Are Inflated

By Hype A

bout a year ago, my brother bought a pair of basketball sneakers — Air Jordan Retro 3s to be specific — slightly used for 100 dollars. I thought that was crazy, but that’s not even the worst part of the story: Nike designed the shoes in the 80s, so they’re like cinder blocks compared to newer shoes. My brother bought basketball sneakers for 100 dollars knowing he would never play basketball in them.

Apparently, he’s not the only one who will pay triple digits for used basketball sneakers. People who do it call themselves Sneakerheads. They buy and sell shoes in a system of buying and selling over Facebook, Venmo and Twitter called the Kick Game.

The Kick Game makes no sense. My friend — who considers himself a Sneakerhead — bought a pair of skateboarding shoes called the Nike Tiffany SB Dunks for 400 dollars a few years ago (of course, he doesn’t skateboard with them, just like my brother won’t play basketball with his Retro 3s). He could resell these sneakers for more than 800 dollars even though Nike released the shoes with high tops last May. Increase the supply of anything, even the Nike Tiffany SB

Although it’s hard to say when the bubble will burst, I think it’s safe to say it will.

Maybe you remember Beanie Babies?

People who thought they were valuable paid through the roof for them.

Dunks, and the price goes down. Sneakerheads are just speculators who dump hundreds of dollars into valueless shoes because they are convinced other people will pay more than they will. Although this is true now, eventually people will realize the shoes have no inherent value and when they do the speculative bubble will burst.

This matters because when the hype dies down, prices for basketball sneakers and Nike’s profits will take a hit. Sneakerheads will pay Nike double what its competitors charge in hopes that the shoes will appreciate in value.

Obviously, it’s hard to say exactly how much money Nike makes from the kick game, but for arguments sake let’s limit it to Nike’s Basketball division. According to Nike’s 2013 annual report to investors, Nike’s basketball division contributed 2.5 billion in sales revenue last year. Nike will lose 1.3 billion dollars by selling the 2.5 billion of basketball shoe sales at 50 to 150 dollars, like their competitors, instead of 150 to 300 dollars. Although this doesn’t seem like much, Nike orders all of its product four to five months in advance from independent manufacturers, so costs are relatively constant. In other words, if Nike sold less, it would profits less because profit are revenue minus costs. And losing 1.3 billion in net profits would be huge for Nike, who only posted 2.6 billion in net profits last year.

Although it’s hard to say when the bubble will burst, I think it’s safe to say it will. Maybe you remember Beanie Babies? People who thought they were valuable paid through the roof for them in the early 2000s. Eventually, people realized stuffed animals are adorable but not worth hundreds of dollars and Ty disappeared with its Beanie Babies. People also bought ridiculous quantities of comic books in mid-90s speculatively. But when people realized the books were valueless, the publishers were stuck with the worthless supply and went bankrupt.

A smart investor would short Nike (if you’re not so financially savvy, that means you would borrow Nike stock and sell it with the intention of buying it back later — presumably at a lower price so you can repay your creditor his shares and pocket the rest) because the bubble will bursts and profits will fall. You can’t make the case that slightly used basketball shoes that aren’t even meant for playing basketball are worth hundreds of dollars. Most Sneakerheads are kids making minimum wage; it’s only a matter of time before they realize basketball shoes aren’t worth a week’s worth of fulltime work.

of a momentous period in Cornell’s history.

Our university is at the threshold of change which gives us the opportunity to really take things into our hands and fix the things we dislike about life on the hill. The sesquicentennial is a celebration of everything Cornell is — the glorious aspects and the shortcomings.

We need to care enough about Cornell beyond how it adds to our professional portfolio. If an octogenarian can try and give to Cornell’s community despite the immense mantle of responsibility they bear, a crowded academic calendar is really not a good enough excuse to stay aloof. If there ever was a year to tune in and get engaged, this is it. Our generation finds it very difficult to answer the simple interview question: What are you passionate about? We are too busy trying to do things right and we forget to live like real people and feel all of the worthwhile emotions. It is a mutually beneficial deal to be quite honest — we will all do much better in life as individuals if we tried to move forward as a community instead of focusing only on individual yardsticks.

My sesquicentennial vision for Cornell is a less apathetic, more passionate community which truly understands the value of the dream they are living.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT homecoming 2014: Five Knives, Grace Potter, Icona Pop

BY EMILY FOURNIER Sun Staff Writer

Before the co-headlining acts Grace Potter and Icona Pop took the stage for the 2014 Cornell Concert Commission Homecoming Concert on Saturday night, a Tenessee-based band, which combines EDM-style deejaying and live instruments and vocals wowed the crowd in Barton Hall. The Sun spoke with Five Knives’ lead vocalist Anna Worstell about their experience touring with Icona Pop, their plans for the future and the seeming oxymoron of being an EDM group in Nashville.

THE SUN: What’s it like performing with Icona Pop? ANNA WORSTELL: Well, we’ve had one show with them so far, and it was amazing. We’ve been looking forward to this for months now. We got to meet the girls before the show and they have a reputation of just being a lot of fun and super nice, which was all very true. The crowd was really receptive to us, they were just very accommodating, and, I don’t know, I think it’s gonna be a great tour. I can’t wait to play with them again.

SUN: That sounds great. Where did you most recently perform?

A.W.: We played in Columbia, South Carolina.

SUN: So how do you guys feel about performing at a college homecoming? How does that compare to what you’ve done before?

A.W.: No, we’ve never done anything like that before, but bring it on. I think it’s gonna be a party. It’ll be really fun.

Grace Potter

S UN: Great! What’s the biggest audience you’ve had before?

A.W.: I mean, we’ve played arena shows before — probably about 15,000 [people]. I mean, that’s not on the regular, but festivals and stuff like that. We’ve played a few arenas with a few thousand people.

SUN: That sounds pretty huge. So you guys do electronic music. What sets you guys apart from other electronic music groups that we might have heard before?

A.W.: We’re like an electro-pop band. We have a full band: I mean we have guitars, live drums — it’s like a full-on D.J. set but with a band, and then it’s got a punk flair to it live. We take our shows really seriously and we’re all super energetic and, you know, we like to just go crazy onstage and engage the fans and it’s different than just standing behind a D.J. booth, you know, but it has the same sort of aesthetic.

SUN: Right, yeah, I watched a couple of your videos and you guys seem to be much more involved than those who just push a button. And you’re the vocalist — you have a lot of high energy songs — it’s a lot more exciting.

SUN: It seems very different. What’s next for the band after your current tour?

A.W.: Well, we’re actually going to be flying out to L.A. to shoot a music video for one of our songs. It’s for a song called “Sugar,” so that should be really fun. We’ll probably have a few dates here and there, and we’ll do some D.J. sets, and then all the focus is gonna be on our record, which, like I said will drop at the top of next year, so that’s the main focus. And then hopefully, knock on wood, we’ll be touring like crazy next year!

SUN: Sounds like a pretty full schedule!

A.W.: Yeah, it’s a lot, but we’re all really passionate about what we do and we have so much fun doing it.

SUN: Have you had concerts at a lot of universities before this tour, or would this be the first time?

A.W.: We’ve never done like a university-only tour. We have played colleges before but this one’s more intense. And actually, I think it’s gonna be great. We’re really excited about it.

Icona pop

old-fashioned sing-a-long going during her closing number, a cover of Joan Jett’s classic “I Love Rock ’n Roll” and ultimately won Barton’s heart after promising that she too had gone to college in the “Great White North,” and that she too, partied to keep warm.

The Swedish pop-duo Icona Pop was greeted somewhat more warmly — with a Swedish flag!

The message there was either that Sweden is the only thing we know about Icona Pop or that Icona Pop is the only thing we know about Sweden. Either way, the obvious besties started off their set with the sticky-sweet and catchy-as-hell, “All Night,” which repeats over a lightly pulsing beat, “with a love this deep, we don’t need no sleep” and “we have the keys to open paradise” and is basically the most adorable dance jam ever.

The pair delivered a pretty uncomfortable monologue about how they had read all of the college boys’ tweets about doing body shots off of their Swedish bellies and about how they were totally into it (?), but a way more fun bit about how great it was to have lady friends around. They hugged!

Which was a great segue into “My Girlfriend,” a bouncy ode to female friendship and the sweeter side of the man-hating coin that cropped up intermittently and teasingly in their biggest hit, “I Don’t Care (I Love It).”

Even if the fun was a little bit tamer than in Homecomings past, the musical selection was infinitely more rewarding. And kudos to Cornell Concert Commission for bringing such an overwhelming female line-up (even the opening act had a pink-haired crazy person as their front lady!), something that the Slope Day Programming Board has notoriously shied away from in every single year except 2009 (when the Pussycat Dolls headlined).

An American Punk-Fan in Osaka

espite its worldwide economic influence and massive population, Osaka isn’t known for a thriving music scene or much other artistic output to speak of. The Internet theoretically gives Osakans the ability to stream every knucklehead Portlandian bedroom producer’s SoundCloud just like the rest of us, but Japan’s idiosyncratic insularity has created a strange pattern of music consumption among even the most musically inclined individuals For my study abroad accommodations, I was lucky enough to be placed in a house with three Japanese students and two Americans. One of the other Americans plays drums and two of the Japanese kids play guitar. Naturally, many of our house’s conversations come back to our commonality: music.

The first question — one that I despise with a passion but was an easy way to discuss music through a language barrier — was, “What genres do you like?” Among a few other genres, I responded with punk. “Oh … punk … I don’t really know punk that well,” replied my housemate. “What are some bands you like, for example?”

“Well, right now I really dig Big Ups, FIDLAR, Iceage and a bunch others.” Realizing the odds of him knowing those were pretty low, I added, “Some more classic bands I like are Fugazi, Bad Brains, Black Flag …”

“Oh yeah, I know some of those. So those newer bands … are they like Blink-182? Do you know them? Do you like them?”

This was my abrupt introduction to international music consumption the Japanese way — without any cultural context. My immediate reaction was to recoil in anger. Except maybe a hormonally confused middle schooler, no American who was familiar with Fugazi

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

would immediately draw a Blink-182 connection, let alone ask if you knew who they are.

For a Japanese listener, though, these two are both just American punk. For the most part, they get assessed on the same musical reference plane since they both appear to be filled with rage. English lyrics about suburban middle-class plight get lost in translation and I guess they sound pretty similar to Fugazi’s when screamed.

This attitude isn’t limited to your average Osakan in a cover band; rather, this lack of context reaches to the upper echelons of the city’s tastemakers. Flake Records, mainly dedicated to new releases from abroad, is one of the best-curated record stores in which I have ever had the pleasure of shopping. It isn’t a collector’s store — you won’t find your one-off pressings here. Flake is a listener’s store, with records carefully selected by the extremely knowledgeable staff to expose you to

Guest Room Mike Sosnick some of the best (pop and rock) music in the world. The first record that caught my eye on the extensive staff recommendations wall was Frankie Cosmos’s exquisite Zentropy. I certainly did not expect to see a bunch of recent Double

COURTESY OF FLAKE RECORDS

Double Whammy releases 13 time zones away from Brooklyn. Even more unexpected, though, was its placement: sandwiched between Modern Vampires of the City and AM. I’m not surprised at all that it would take an employee endorsement for an Osakan to pick up Zentropy, but where in America would the Arctic Monkeys be a featured, recommended record? Best Buy? WalMart? Beyond the top of the Anglophone pop charts, the average Japanese person has almost as little exposure to Vampire Weekend as to Frankie Cosmos. Having had some time to digest this sight, Flake’s recommendation wall should not have been nearly as shocking to me as it was.

Marinating on this phenomenon further, I realized I am just as guilty when it comes to Japanese music. I am just as oblivious to their cultural contexts as they are to mine. When asked my favorite Japanese acts, my answer tends

to be Melt Banana and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. For reference, that would be like saying Sunn 0))) and Lady Gaga. I realize how ridiculous that combination sounds, but I tend to wear it as a badge of pride.

For once, I have the luxury of being ignorant of context and honest to my ears.

Good for these Osakans, being unwittingly blind to the cultural context of the foreign music they’re listening to. If we all could do that with American music I think we would be a lot happier, just like my housemate who cites Raekwon and Drake as his two favorite rappers ever.

Being able to listen to and discuss music without any pretense would let us be true to our tastes. But until everyone’s doing it, I’ll leave public Simple Plan appreciation to Hot Topic part-timers and only sing along at the top of my lungs when I’m alone in my car.

Defense Shines as Colts Blank Bengals

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis has a message for the NFL: Its defense is pretty darned good.

And it can win games, too.

On a day Andrew Luck threw for 344 yards and two touchdowns Sunday and Indy ran for 171 yards, the Colts’ usually overlooked defense overshadowed its higher-profile offensive counterparts with a 27-0 shutout of Cincinnati.

“We’ve always had confidence, but at the same time we want to humble ourselves and be on to the next game and try to do it again and again, and again, and again,” safety Mike Adams said after getting his first shutout in 11 NFL seasons.

This was no fluke.

Over the previous four games, all wins, the Colts (5-2) had forced eight turnovers, got 16 sacks and limited opponents to 18.8 points. With a chance to crack into the top 10, Indianapolis’ numbers were every bit as good: Andy Dalton was sacked three times Sunday compared with a leaguelow two in the previous five games.

The Bengals, ranked No. 5 in total offense, managed 135 total yards, 32 on the ground.

Kevin Huber punted a franchise-record tying 11 times, 10 of which followed three-and-outs.

And when the Colts needed a fourth-quarter red-zone stop to preserve the shutout, they got that, too.

The Bengals (3-2-1) ran just eight plays in Colts territory, had only eight first downs and never had a chance after Dwayne Allen’s brilliant 32-yard catch-and-run made it 17-0.

Indy did all that with Robert Mathis, the 2013 NFL sacks champ, relegated to waving a towel; starting defensive tackle Arthur Jones inactive; and starting linebacker Erik Walden ejected late in the first half for making contact with umpire Bruce Stritesky.

Luck, who finished 27 of 42 and posted his sixth 300-yard game of the season, enjoyed every minute.

“I’m just like a fan watching the game, I might as well just be a fan when our defense is out there,” he said.

Luck wasn’t the only one applauding Indy’s breakout performance.

With his six-game suspension over, Jim Irsay returned to the owner’s suite for the first time since the preseason. After three years of preaching about the need to have a balanced offense and stingy defense, Irsay and each defensive player received a game ball.

It was Indy’s first shutout since beating Tennessee in the final game of the 2008 season.

Watkins Scores Winner With One Second Left ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Quarterback Kyle Orton keeps delivering in the clutch since taking over the starting job in Buffalo.

And receiver Sammy Watkins is certainly showing signs of playing up to his dynamic first-round draft-pick promise for the Bills.

The 10-year NFL journeyman and 21-year-old rookie combined for a 2-yard touchdown with 1 second left in a 17-16 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

“Any time you get a chance to go on a game-winning drive, it’s awesome,” Orton said. “We hung in there, made some mistakes, but in the end we got the win, and that was our goal.”

Facing second-and-goal, Orton accepted the shotgun snap and immediately turned to his left, where he zipped a pass to Watkins who was a few yards deep in the end zone and had a step on cornerback Xavier Rhodes.

The touchdown capped a 15play, 80-yard drive in a game the Bills offense turned the ball over four times and lost starting running backs C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson to injuries.

Orton shook off an interception and a lost fumble to finish 31 of 43 for 283 yards and two touchdowns, both to Watkins who finished with nine catches for 122 yards.

“To make the last play to win

the game in Buffalo, it’s the best feeling ever,” said Watkins.

The player selected with the No. 4 pick out of Clemson then smiled and referred to his teammates when asked about his rookie status, “I never really feel like a rookie except when those guys make me feel like one.”

Orton, who signed with Buffalo a week before the start of the season, improved to 2-1 since replacing second-year starter EJ Manuel.

He won his first start three weeks ago with a drive that set up Dan Carpenter’s 58-yard field goal with 4 seconds left in a 17-14 win at Detroit.

The Bills (4-3) snapped a twogame home losing streak, and bounced back from a 37-22 loss to New England.

The Vikings (2-5) lacked finish on both defense and behind the Teddy Bridgewater-led offense that managed one touchdown — Cordarrelle Patterson’s 4-yard catch — and three field goals on five trips inside the Bills 40.

“There are no words that can describe this loss,” defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd said. “It’s the last play of the game. I’ve got nothing to say about that except it hurts.”

The Vikings had their opportunities, only to give Orton new life on the final drive that began with 3:07 left.

Red Takes First IvyWin,Stays in Title Contention M. SOCCER

Continued from page 16

The Red recorded eight shots in the first half, with the first major opportunity of the period coming in the 38th minute.

Senior defender Peter Chodas floated a ball into the box from the right wing.

Freshman forward Jonathan Cullom displayed lightning footwork to breeze past the Yale defenders only to scuff the shot.

As the first half drew to a close there was a visible increase in Cornell urgency as the Red desperately pressed for the opener. A Chodas corner caused confusion in the Yale box as they tried to clear it. The ball landed with the Red, only for the last shot of the half to go well over the goal.

Cornell started the second half threateningly, with some quick interplay between senior midfielder Atticus DeProspo and sophomore forward Chris St. Germain leading to an opening, which the Red failed to convert.

Cornell was met with a much more resolute Yale side in the second half as the Bulldogs began to apply some pressure on the Red defence, with a shot in the 48th

minute going just over.

As the game wore on it got increasingly more end-to-end. A DeProspo header found its way into the arms of the Yale keeper while a powerful run and shot by freshman defender Eric Nuss from his own half was also well collected.

“You have to give credit to the Yale goalkeeper; he came out with a couple of great saves,” Zawislan said. “Yes, we want to score on those chances, they were very good chances but the Yale goalkeeper made some quality saves.”

With ten minutes to go the rain caused an already frantic game to get increasingly chaotic, with the slippery conditions affecting the play. Cornell was struggling to get past the Yale keeper, displaying pace and power on the wings but often lacking in the center.

However the Goepel goal soon after indicated a key change in the Red response, with Cornell now happy to absorb the Bulldogs attacks as Yale went looking for an equalizer.

Yale registered four shots on goal, with a corner kick in the dying seconds of the game representing a final throw of the dice. Senior goalkeeper Zach Zagorski

Zagorski was just able to track back and punch the ball over his own net, leading to gasps of relief from the Berman faithful.

“We were just in survival mode; get everything out of the box and hang on for the win, so we were happy to do that,” Zagorski said.

Bortles,Robinson Lead Jaguars to First Win of Season JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — With Jacksonville on the verge of its first win of the season, the team mascot dived into one of the pools at EverBank Field.

Denard Robinson and the Jaguars’defense could have done the same.

Then again, they had already made a huge splash.

Robinson ran for a career-high 127

yards and a touchdown, the defense came up big in the red zone, and the Jaguars snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 24-6 victory against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Jacksonville (1-6) won for the first time since beating Houston on Dec. 15, 2013.

“The last time I carried the ball 20 times I was in college,” said Robinson, a star quar-

terback at Michigan. “It's a great feeling. We knew it was coming. We've just got to stack them and up and get back to work.”

Blake Bortles connected with fellow rookie Allen Robinson for a 31-yard score and the game's first touchdown. It was really all the Jaguars needed on a day in which coach Gus Bradley's defense delivered time and time again.

Red Falls to Brown in Final Set

By ANNA FASMAN Sun Assistant Sports Editor

ALICE PHAM / SUN FILE PHOTO

Bending over backwards | The Red did everything it could to beat Brown, but it lost a tightly contested final set.

Tied, 2-2, the Cornell women’s volleyball team stepped onto the Brown Bears’ home court for its deciding set, ready to fight for the win. After an eight-game losing streak, including a loss just the previous day to Yale, the Red was motivated to leave Providence with a victory.

However, after a set of back and forth games that led to the heartbreaking two-point loss in the final deciding set, Cornell finished the weekend with two more losses and a prevailing hunger for wins during the next round of Ivy play.

Cornell (3-14-0) came into this weekend hoping to see its first win in a month. However, despite strong performances from senior Libero Natasha Rowland on defense and the offensive duo of sophomore Macey Wilson and freshman Emily Wemhoff at the net, the Red was swept by Yale in three games with at least an eight-point deficit in each round. Although the loss was disappointing, Wilson explained that the team had some strong points throughout the match.

“We served tough against Yale, but Yale is a very physical team and we had more errors against them than Brown,” she said. “We have had a lot of trouble with our hitting errors, but this weekend we improved a lot in that area, which allowed us to be competitive with the other teams.”

While the loss against Yale was a tough but swift one, the true disappointment came on Saturday against Brown.

The Red came very close to winning the whole match, taking two of the five games and dropping the fifth deciding game by only two points. After another two-point loss in

the first-round game, the Red came back strong in the next two games with help from Wilson, Wemhoff and freshman libero Chelsea Sincox, who took over for Rowland for part of the game. In addition, sophomore setter Alyssa Phelps was able to assist the hitters well and get to the ball fast up front.

The Red played a whole different game on Saturday, minimizing the amount of errors and sloppy mistakes on its side of the net. Phelps explained that Yale was a strong team, but the Red really struggled because of its own faults.

“The difference between both games was the amount of errors we made on our side of the net. Yale is a very good team that doesn't make many mistakes; we played out a lot of long rallies but sometimes they just didn't go our way,” she said. “Against Brown we took care of what we could control and everybody contributed. We played with a lot of fight that game and it stings to come up short by only two points.”

Moving forward, the Red prepares for the upcoming Ivy home games. The team will face the Bears and Bulldogs once again, but it is confident that with a perceived home court advantage, it will be able to come out on top the next time around. Wilson noted that this weekend helped the team get a sense of who it is up against and provided the women with confidence moving forward.

“This weekend has helped prove to ourselves that we can play at a higher level than we have been. We are really motivated to play and beat these teams to prove ourselves,” she said.

Freshmen QBs Thrust Into Action FOOTBALL

to take into account before the snap of the football that the two have not needed to take into account previously.

“It goes from everything to calling the play. Our offense is conceptually built, so knowing which concept is going on on which side and making sure the protection is what you want, checking the protection if it's not,” Archer said. “They need to make sure the motion happens, reading the motion, reading the coverage post-motion or if it’s a run play, reading the front premotion, reading the front post-motion, making sure those are lined up. They need to snap the football on time and execute what you have to do in case everybody is moving after the snap.”

The lack of experience for both Jatis and Gallagher was front and center for the Red in its 31-14 loss against Lehigh (1-5). The two quarterbacks did not complete a pass until 5:34 left in the second quarter, a moment that sparked excitement. That was until Jatis threw an interception into the hands of Mountain Hawks cornerback Brandon Leaks.

Despite both gunslingers’ indecisions

throughout the first half, they flashed their talent in the second half in the form of a 58yard pass from Jatis to sophomore wide receiver Collin Shaw in the third quarter that accounted for the Red’s first score of the game and a 40-yard throw from Gallagher to Shaw again that set up the Red at the oneyard line. This led to a touchdown pass from Gallagher to tight end Matt Doneth that brought Cornell within three points of Lehigh halfway through the fourth quarter.

On the day, Jatis completed eight-of-23 passes (34.7 percent completion) with a touchdown and two interceptions.

Gallagher completed nin-of-21 passes (42.8 percent completion) with a touchdown and no interceptions.

Jatis and Gallagher are in the middle of a very young offensive corps. All rushing attempts on Saturday were made by freshmen, running backs Josh Sweet (11 carries for 53 yards), Demetrius Daltirus (11 carries for 46 yards), Jatis and Gallagher. The leading pass catcher on the way was Shaw, who reeled in four balls for 119 yards and a touchdown.

While the struggles of the Big Red’s offense is evident at the moment, Archer, who was noncommittal on who his starting quarterback would be moving forward, said

CAMERON POLLACK / SUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Growing up fast | Freshman quarterback Jake Jatis was given the difficult task of leading the offense on Saturday in the first homecoming game of his career.

Jatis and Gallagher will continue to grow into their roles under center as the season progresses.

“They're playing a lot and the game moves too fast for them at times and that's what happens with a freshman quarterback.

What you're going to see is that this offense — these kids work so hard and the coaching staff works so hard — is that they're going to

keep getting better, keep getting better and it might not manifest itself in a certain stat or this or that or the other thing, but we know it's happening and then all of a sudden, bang, it's going to explode on the scene and they're going to say, 'Now I get it.'”

Pannullo, Marrero Lead Offensive Charge in Loss to Navy SPRINT

the entire game.”

The Red’s offense put a great deal of pressure on Navy, which entered the matchup as the CSFL’s top-ranked scoring defense. Cornell jumped out to a quick start, with linebacker Jino Park picking off a pass from Navy offender Joe Hampton on the foe’s second drive of the game to set the Red up inside the redzone.

Sophomore quarterback Rob Pannullo connected with Marrero on the third play of the ensuing drive to give the Red a 7-0 lead at the 8:23 mark. The Red’s 30-point finish was the highest total posted on the Mids since 2010 when powerhouse Army scored 32 in the final game of the season.

“On the second defensive drive of the game, Jino Park grabbed a huge interception which set us up in the redzone for our first touchdown,” Marrero said. “We let up some big plays afterwards, but we were able to stay in the game with great protection up front and Rob Pannullo making good plays in the passing game.”

The Red saw a standout performance from Pannullo, who set new career highs for completions, attempts, passing yards and passing touchdowns. He went 23-of-48 for 295 yards and four passing touchdowns against a strong Navy defense.

Back-and-forth offensive action continued throughout the game, with Navy taking a 28-17 lead entering halftime. The Red opened the second half with possession, but Midshipmen senior Brady Flies short-cir-

cuited the drive with an interception at Navy’s 41-yard line. Navy offenders Hampton and junior Corey Garcia then worked together for a 59-yard pass and catch, extending Navy’s lead to 18 points at 35-17.

Both teams were quiet for almost 15 minutes after that until the Red bounced back at the 13:45 mark of the fourth quarter with Pannullo’s third touchdown pass to set the score at 35-24. The Red could not sustain its momentum, however, and less than five minutes later the Mids scored another touchdown. With just over five minutes to go, the Red fired back with a touchdown of its own for the final score of 42-30.

Marrero said that the squad is working on eliminating mistakes moving forward and hopes to maintain its offensive momen-

tum in future matchups.

“We left some points out on the field, but we’ve already started fixing these errors and are looking ahead towards the Post game,” he said. “We hope to keep our offensive momentum moving on in the season.”

Junior defensive back Brent Weissman added that the 30 points scored in the game should have been enough to defeat the Mids.

“We showed a ton of heart this weekend.

But when it came down to it we beat ourselves,” he said. “We can’t score 30 points against Navy and lose. But all we can do now is look forward to working hard to beat Post.”

MEN’S SOCCER

Goepel Nets Game-Winner in 82nd Minute

By HAMDAN AL YOUSEFI Sun Senior Writer

The joy of the Cornell men’s soccer team was evident from its post-game huddle as the Red secured its first Ivy League victory of the season, defeating Yale on a cold, wet and windy homecoming Saturday night at Berman Field.

Senior midfielder and co-captain Conor Goepel scored the winner in the 82nd minute, sliding in amongst the confusion of the Yale defense to rifle in a shot into the roof of the net. The goal was Goepel’s sixth of the season.

The Red played like it had a point to prove, knowing that a win was needed to keep it in Ivy League contention. The team pressed hard and fast throughout the pitch, refusing to give the Bulldogs much time on the ball.

A staunch performance by the Yale goalkeeper prevented Cornell from scoring earlier as the Red spurned several golden opportunities throughout the game. However Cornell kept threatening and eventually broke down the Yale defense with eight minutes to go.

“We always stay YALE @ CORNELL positive, no matter how long it takes.

The victory now takes Cornell to 8-4-1, 1-2-0 Ivy

League and Yale to 1-9-2, 0-3-0 Ivy League.

“Before the game, we knew we were still [in the Ivy League], we knew there was still everything to play for,” Zawislan said. “That was the attitude of the players, they kept going after it and the team came out with a very, very important result.”

Cornell started the game brightly, playing free-flowing, intricate soccer, often leaving the Bulldogs chasing shadows. Yale was reduced to long-ball tactics, trying to simply get the ball into the opposition half.

Lehigh Stuns C.U.on Homecoming

By JOON LEE Sun Staff Writer

Head coach David Archer ‘05 could only laugh at the question.

It’s not as if what was asked was funny in nature or outrageous. When posed with the question of what the greatest challenge was for freshmen quarterback playing at the collegiate level — such as Jake Jatis and Kyle Gallagher — there were simply too many answers to point at one aspect of the game.

“There is an awful lot that happens [during the course of a football

game],” Archer said. “The jump for a quarterback from high school to college is big, just like the jump from college to the NFL for the quarterback is really big.”

Archer did not expect Jatis, a first-year player from Crown Point, Ind. making his fourth start of the season, to be taking firstteam snaps so soon. An undisclosed shoulder injury to junior signal caller James Few forced the predicament for the Cornell football team. With no other alternatives, Archer turned to his duo of freshmen quarterbacks, Jatis and Gallagher.

Because of

Few’s injury, the two freshmen have been thrown into the fire with very little preparation.

Archer said that the transition is inherently difficult for young quarterbacks for the Red (0-5, 02 Ivy League). There is a checklist that both Jatis and Gallagher need See FOOTBALL page 15 CAMERON POLLACK / SUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Strong Offense Not Enough To Sink Tough Navy Squad

By SYDNEY ALTSCHULER Sun Assistant Sports Editor

The Cornell sprint football team fell to Navy, 42-30, in its homecoming game on Saturday at Schoellkopf Field.

With the loss, the Red drops to 2-3 on the season while the Shipmen extend their perfect record, advancing to 5-0.

Cornell faced an explosive offense in the Midshipmen that proved to be too much to overcome for the Red’s defense. The Mids racked up 529 yards in the game — 257 rushing and 302 passing — to take the win. The 529 yards of

total offense was the most for Navy in CSFL action since 2009, when the squad tallied 579 against Princeton.

But make no mistake, the Cornell squad made the Mids work for the win. According to junior wide-receiver Trevor Marrero, the Red played a solid game against a talented Navy team and stayed in it from start to finish.

“Navy is and has been one of the most talented teams in the league,” he said. “We played them tough on Saturday and kept it close throughout See SPRINT page 15
