C.U.Ranked 15th Best Value College By JINJOO LEE Sun News Editor
Cornell University was ranked 15th in Kiplinger’s list of private colleges with the best value. The rankings, published this month, are based on a measure of both quality and affordability. The University rose three places in the rankings,
moving up from 18th last year. The ranking was based on comparisons of 600 private institutions that were compared on measures of competitiveness, graduation rates, academic support, cost of tuition and financial aid, as well as average student debt, according to Kiplinger’s website.
With the University imposing tighter restrictions on Greek houses in an effort to rein in hazing and dangerous behaviors, fraternity leaders say they have had to make adjustments to longstanding Greek traditions. After George Desdunes ’13 died in a fraternity hazing ritual in 2011, the University enacted a series of policies aimed to “end pledging as we know it,” The Sun previously reported. One of the biggest changes made to Greek life since then has been the shortening of the new member period, which used to be eight weeks but is now four, according to Felix Tabary ’14, IFC vice president One of the biggest changes for university and community to Greek life has been the relations. Tabary said that some aspects shortening of the new of fraternity life — including member period, according encouraging new members to to Felix Tabary ’14. properly clean the physical house and instilling a sense of respect for older brothers — are “harder to translate with the new new member education process.” Other fraternity brothers, like Timothy Lenardo ’14, president of the Sigma Phi fraternity, say they think it is probably too early to see any major effects of the shortened pledge period. “Many fear that people will be less committed to the house, as they have put little to nothing into being accepted. Additionally, our pledge classes are always diverse groups of guys from dramatically different parts of campus, and some argue that pledging is the ‘shared experience’ that bring them together,” Lenardo said. Tabary said his fraternity, Sigma Pi, received help in adapting its See GREEK page 4

‘Follow Your Heart,’ Says Former Student Convicted of Murder Re-Sentenced Cornellian-Antiquarian By JINJOO LEE

Stephan Loewentheil J.D. ’75, an antiquarian, organic farm owner and rare book donor, is a Cornell alumnus whose passions have taken him all over the world. Besides having his pieces featured in exhibits both at Cornell and in museums worldwide, he has also worked with clients like the White House and the Dalai Lama. Loewentheil sells pieces from his collection in his rare antiques shop, called Luxury Catalogs. Loewentheil said he did not plan on making a career out of collecting rare books and photographs. “I graduated Cornell Law School in 1975, and I went to Baltimore, Maryland, and I did historic renovation. I didn’t enjoy it. I was always a book
lover,” he said. He said he began collecting rare books after talking to Jake Zeitlin, an elderly collector who lived in California. “He was such an interesting man, it struck me that I could do that. I began buying and selling books, particularly 19th century American books originally. I found them to be something that was very intellectually stimulating, and to my amazement, I was able to make a living out of it,” he said. Loewentheil has contributed to Cornell’s collection of rare manuscripts and photos with fellow collector Stephen Rudin, and said he hopes to continue doing so. At Cornell, Loewentheil worked on building collections of Civil War era history, helping Cornell put up exhibits such as “Dawn’s Early Light” and “The Lincoln See LOEWENTHEIL page 5
Former Cornell graduate student Blazej Kot, who was convicted of murdering his wife in 2010, was re-sentenced on charges of arson and tampering with evidence Friday, the Ithaca Journal reported. The 29-year-old was convicted of fatally stabbing his wife Caroline Coffey’s throat in June 2009, The Sun previously reported. Coffrey was found dead in Taughannock Falls State Park. Prosecutors successfully argued at the time that Kot set fire to the couple’s apartment to destroy the evidence. On April 20, 2010, a jury convicted Kot of three felony charges: a second-degree murder, thirddegree arson and tampering with physical evidence, The Sun previously reported. In June 2010, Kot received 25 years to life in prison. At the county court on Friday, Assistant District Attorney Andrew McElwee proposed maximum re-sentences, while Kot’s attorneys asked for the minimum sentence of one to three years,
according to The Ithaca Journal. Tompkins County Judge John C. Rowley ruled in favor of the lesser sentences on both of the charges, according to The Ithaca Journal. Kot will serve those sentences concurrently with his murder sentence at the maximumsecurity Sullivan Correctional Facility in Fallsburg.
“I am astounded at the pain and anguish I caused. ... I see [the murder] was because of my mental health concerns,” Kot said at Tompkins County Court on Friday, according to The Ithaca Journal. Jinjoo Lee can be reached at jinjoolee@cornellsun.com.

How to Function Like a Cornell Entrepreneur By SAMANTHA WILHELM Sun Contributor
For many Cornell students, Friday evenings are about making fun weekend plans and celebrating the end of another week of classes. However, for Cornell entrepreneurs, the end of Friday’s classes means working on business strategies, meeting with employees, conducting market research and maybe catching up on some lost sleep. In addition to maintaining their status as full-time undergraduates, these students invest large amounts of time nurturing business ventures — from the early conceptual stages to profit-turning realities. What drives these student entrepreneurs? A passion for innovation and drive for success, says Rob Ainslie ’14, president of Student Agencies Inc. “Do whatever it takes to make it work, even if it means you’re working 30 hours a week on top of school,” he said. “If you’re not passionate about it, you’re not going to have the drive or dedication to follow through with it.” Many students will tread through ups and downs as they reach toward their ultimate goal of profitability, according to Ricky Panzer ’14, co-founder and manager of PopShop, a student-run space for Cornell students to meet for entrepreneurial collaboration. Even though, the ups and downs sometimes shape a startup’s success, Panzer said.
“A successful entrepreneur is someone who learns from [one’s] failures, takes lessons from them and improves,” he said. “It’s the mistakes and skills they acquire that truly make them successful.” Jeff Shaffer ’13, founder and CEO of FiberSpark Inc. — a company that aims to deliver next-generation Internet service via fiber-optics technology — has a different perspective on success. Shaffer defines immediate success as being able to support himself, adding that he has long-term goals of making an impact on the United States’ Internet infrastructure. For FiberSpark, Shaffer says the current aim is to “[get] to the stage where we are established and have credibility as a company so that we have a reputation to expand and grow more easily in the future.” It is important to define priorities, according to Feifan Zhou ’16, co-founder of Tunetap — a platform designed to handle concerts logistics and connect artists with their fans. “It is [about] prioritizing what you want to see out of college and what you want to see out of life,” he said. “I want to see people using the things [that] I helped build.” Jacob Reisch ’15, co-founder and CEO of Party Headphones — a company that rents and sells wireless headphone systems for events — already sees his business as a success. “Our team is awesome. We have great people that love what they do. We’ve

already impacted enough people for me to say we’re successful,” he said. “We’ve inspired more people to think creatively and to have a problem solving mentality.” Prof. Daniel Cohen, director of eLab — a program that provides mentorship to entrepreneurs on campus to develop skills necessary for professional achievement — highlighted several traits that he said are key to an entrepreneur’s success. Being comfortable with risk, “tolerance for ambiguity,” sales ability and leadership are the most important characteristics of an entrepreneur, according to Cohen. “Is there something about the way they conduct themselves, their presence, their persona, that leads me to conclude that this person could build a company?” he said. “Do I believe that they have the tenacity and the persistence to stick with it day in and day out?” Another key aspect of leadership is communication skills, according to Gizem
Sakalli ’14, co-founder and CEO of RedPencere — an online service that guides high school students in emerging economic countries through the American college application process. “You need to communicate your idea to people, to potential teammates, to potential customers, to people who can help you, to investors,” she said. “You need to communicate your needs.” Beyond these practical skills, surrounding yourself with other creatively minded people may be most important factor for an aspiring entrepreneur, Zhou said. “I’m a big believer of being in the same place and working out of the same mindset as a lot of people doing great things,” he said. “There is so much positivity, and that energy is contagious.” Samantha Wilhelm can be reached at smw338@cornell.edu.
Some Students Choose Passion,Not Money in Internships By JONATHAN KWEE Sun Contributor
As Cornell students apply for summer internships, some of them seem to be putting their passions first and their
wallets second. Learning about the firm and the role he would play in the company was more important than monetary compensation to Han Wei Chew ’15, who interned at Goldman Sachs
Sun Market Watch Company’s Record Settlement Amounts to Billions JPMorgan Chase & Co. has tentatively agreed to pay $13 billion to settle allegations surrounding the quality of mortgage-backed securities it sold in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis, the Associated Press reported Saturday. Google Stock Reaches New Highs Google Inc. stock rose 14 percent to trade at $1,015.22 at close of markets Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported. The surge is attributed to the Internet giant’s new mobile Internet division and its declaration of third quarter earnings of $2.97 billion, up from last year’s $2.18 billion earnings, The Journal reported Friday. Government Shutdown Will Cost Economy Billions The recent United States government shutdown will cost the economy an estimated $3.1 billion in addition to having greater adverse effects on consumer and business confidence, The New York Times reported Friday. Top Boss at Burberry to Join Tech Giant Apple Inc. said it would poach Angela Ahrendts, the current Burberry CEO, to run the technology giant’s retailing operations, The Economist reported. She could revive a sense of style at the firm and even help the company break into the market in China, The Economist reported Saturday.
over the summer. “Pay was a huge draw, [but] the most important things were that I got to better explore the industry and the firm,” he said. “As long as you’re doing something you really enjoy, pay will be a very small factor.” Julia Guacelli ’16 said she interned without pay at Panna — a digital food magazine company — over the summer. Despite the lack of monetary compensation, “the experience was so worth it and I learned so much. It showed me the value of a Cornell education,” Guacelli said. “I have no regrets whatsoever — it was awesome,” she said. “[The internship] really improved my communication skills and taught me how to deal with people.” While the University keeps no official data on summer internships, compensation rates can vary vastly across industries, according to Rebecca Sparrow, executive director of Cornell Career Services. “The best paid fields would be in engineering and financial services, and in both of those industries interns are compensated a pro-rated amount of what a first year employee would be paid,” she said. Annual salaries in these industries ranged from $60,000 to $70,000, according
to Cornell Career Services’ Class of 2012 Postgraduate Report. Other industries are known to provide less, if any, compensation. “Advertising, communications and sports management are pretty well known to be areas [where interns] aren’t even paid at all,” Sparrow said. “But employers have gotten used to having that ready supply of eager people who want to volunteer their time to accumulate work

However, not all internship fields have such formalized compensation.

new member process with the help of a strong alumni network. He said he is unsure, however, of whether every fraternity has the resources necessary to do the same. “The University can do a better job of counseling new member educators about how to teach things in a safer way. That would go such a long way,” Tabary said. IFC President Colin Foley ’14 said new member education plans are best looked at on a chapter-by-chapter basis because some fraternities would prefer to do it on their own using a strong alumni base or national fraternity organization. “Our tradition is to be a governing body, but they’re individual chapters, so it can be tough to apply things broadly throughout system,” Foley said. Foley said the IFC remains supportive by keeping an open dialogue between fraternities to share ideas. “I think we’ve engaged in a much more open and honest conversation with fraternity presidents,” Tabary said. The IFC will also be revamping its event management guidelines for fraternities this semester to make sure they are in line with University policies, according to Tabary. The event management guidelines are only part of what Foley called a “broader strategic review” of how the IFC will be updating “antiquated and outdated” policies to make them more in line with the beliefs of chapters. Tabary said he hopes to be able to provide a small binder to every fraternity with the new guidelines to communicate the ideas clearly. Lenardo said that although he would
not complain about event guidelines being “unclear,” adhering to the current rules can be “very difficult and stressful.” Still pending is the Recruitment, Acceptance, Retention and Education task force’s proposal to require live-in advisors in every fraternity and sorority house, according to Foley. Foley said he has been speaking with fraternity presidents to draft an IFC recommendation in response to the task force’s suggestion. The IFC recommendation would not suggest mandatory live-in advisors for houses who currently comply with IFC guidelines, according to Foley. “Our stance is that there is already organic mentorship within the system. If fraternities are meeting that [criterion], then they’re complying. Otherwise, there may be a problem to address,” Foley said. Foley said he believes the Greek system is still “extremely strong” due to an increasing number of students rushing. “I think we’ve had traditions in place for a long time that people are making big changes to, so it’s not going to be a seamless process,” Foley said. “It’s obviously going be difficult, but I have faith in the chapter presidents to do what’s necessary.” Despite the changes to Greek life that have been enforced by the University, Foley said fraternities are starting to adjust and reach a point of normalcy. “Pretty soon, we'll be in a place where the system is sustainable and the University won't feel that major policy changes need to be made,” Foley said.

‘Significantly’ Lower C.U.’s Cost,Univ.Says KIPLINGER
Continued from page 1
Quality of education accounted for 56.25 percent of the weighting, while affordability accounted for 43.75 percent of the weighting. Although tuition rose in response to rising costs in education, financial aid helped many students cope with tuition increases, according to Elmira Mangum, vice president for budget and planning. “Our financial aid policies have a significant impact on lowering the actual cost of attendance for over 48 percent of our undergraduates with financial need,” Mangum said in a University press release. “Cornell will administer nearly $245 million in financial aid this year that benefits roughly 6,700 students.” The private college with the best value was Yale University, which Kiplinger wrote meets 100 percent of need-based aid to families earning as much as $200,000 per year. As a result, Yale’s average net price weighed in at $15,435. Although Cornell’s “sticker price,” or tuition cost, was $59,887, the average need-based financial aid given was $35,752. The average debt at graduation was $20,490. Jinjoo Lee can be reached at jinjoolee@cornellsun.com.

Diversity and of the day Inclusion at C.U.: is if Cornell were not here and all of the taxWishful Thinking? exempt“ThelandwaywasI seenot itowned by the University, Ithaca would be much worse off. An incredible amount of business and economic growth in Ithaca is directly due to the presence of the University. Cornell should I contribute to the community, but I don’t think that the City of Ithaca n the past decade, Cornell University has been all about expanding its horizons to make room for talented individuals from every corner of the world. The statistics boast of ever-increasing variance within the Cornell demography. It is absolutely possible that when you’re sitting in class, there are students from at least three different continents in your row. The collective efforts of President Skorton’s diversity initiative, the admissions offices, the Student Assembly and the enormous conglomerate of student organizations on campus have created diversity in letter. But, does it actually exist on a more tangible level? Does the average Cornellian care to push the boundaries of his or her comfort zone to be conscious of diversity on a daily basis? I believe that Cornell’s vast diversity can be a veritable truth only when every member of our community is sensitized enough to bother with inclusion on a more personal level. I am well aware of the preconceived notion that an American student would rather not intervene in a social circle of say, international Chinese or Indian students, because it would result in feeling left out. So, why bother?
Does the average Cornellian care to push the boundaries of his or her comfort zone to be conscious of diversity on a daily basis? But, the truth is, when international students lose strength in numbers and are thrown into an idiosyncratic American setting, they feel overwhelmed, or even intimidated. For instance, when there are student-run elections on campus, an international student will always be more hesitant to enter the race than any other candidate for reasons which may or may not grounded in reality. It is also true that in order to blend in when home is literally seven seas away, you absolutely have to be outgoing and exuberant. If you’re an introvert and international, college will be rough waters for you. I am among those outgoing international students who have tried to test the waters on the other side. As a result, I am often left feeling stuck on the fence between two communities, belonging nowhere in entirety. I’m not saying I am unhappy or discriminated against, but my identity as an international student is definitely forced to keep going back and forth because my two worlds do not merge on campus. Stereotypes have always existed and always will, but my concern is eliminating vulnerability among international students. College should be a great experience for every person irrespective of who they are or where they’re from and whether or not they are inherently sociable people. We will not need multiple resources exclusively for depressed international students if every person at Cornell were a little more sensitive to the fact that the person sitting next to them in class is probably a gazillion miles away from home and still gets startled by the array of options at Starbucks. Just saying ‘Hi’ or giving a smile is not awkward. Moreover, here’s some incentive to actually go and talk to the kid with the funny accent in your class: In a few years, life will in all likelihood be monotonous, and people will be angrier and more frustrated. This is may be the only time we can live and learn through the diversity in our classrooms. Diversity is a resource and I believe students at Cornell could make better use of it. Trust me, 20 years down the line, when you boast about how your friend from college is the new Prime Minister of Burkina Faso, your kids will think you were way cool at college. One way to invoke the current blandly indifferent status quo could be to send every person at Cornell off to study abroad, but since that is technically impossible, we can at least start with conversation and get to know people — people who have not had the exact same life as yours. This goes both ways. As international students, we brag about being third culture kids and global citizens, but how many of us actually are any of those things? Bottomline: Homogeneity is boring. Embrace diversity everyday. Aditi Bhowmick is a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences. She may be reached at abhowmick@cornellsun.com.

That hatred in my family was laid to rest with them and never passed on to me, and I see now that I have Eva to thank for that. Perhaps evil exists because it is necessary; perhaps affliction presents an opportunity. The astounding humility and grace with which Eva accepted her life seems perfectly symmetrical to the magnitude of torture she faced. The events that emptied her expelled all vanity and purified her. It is because she was taken to such desperate lows that she was bestowed with such magnanimous depth. It is because she was separated from her husband that they were able to remain ever faithful after being reunited. It is because she was robbed of her first two children that she was able to love the five that followed so dearly. It is because things looked so grim early on that she was able to look back toward the end and conclude, justly, that it was good.

From Stage to Screen: Othello
BY MADELINE SALINAS SUN STAFF WRITER
For its 50th anniversary, this fall the National Theater is producing a series of Platform events. Othello is a part of the National Histories platform, celebrating historically acclaimed plays. Othello’s September 26th performance was filmed live and the recording was screened twice at Ithaca’s Cinemapolis this weekend. This fall, the National Theatre of London produced Shakespeare’s Othello in a performance that brings to light the ways that theater has changed over time. The production, directed by Nicholas Hytner and starring Olivier Award-winning actors Adrian Lester and Rory Kinnear as Othello and Iago, showcases Shakespeare’s classic writing with a talented cast. Set in modern day, Hytner, the cast and the creative team utilize Shakespeare’s literature to tie the best of two eras of art together in a seamless and memorable production. The opening scene, an exchange between Roderigo and Iago set in front of a bar and complemented with noise from indoors and from the surrounding city, was perhaps too casually staged for
Shakespeare’s formal writing. However, as the play moves to Cyprus, the blankslate uniformity of the military base minimizes the cultural discrepancies between the setting and the writing. On

ature. The blocking and staging of the National Theatre’s production “set the stage” for a dynamic and energetic performance. The set, especially on the base in Cyprus, was very substantial, with
backdrops realistically resembling large cinder blocks that were seamlessly moved from scene to scene. Many of the indoor scenes in offices or lodgings at the base were placed on the diagonal, with the audience facing the corner of the room. This placement effectively opened the set and increased visibility of the actors, creating more opportunity for innovative blocking and seamless movement of the set between scenes. The set was also conducive to filming; because the National Theatre Live exponentially increased their audience of Othello through current screenings in theater’s such as Ithaca, this was a critical factor in the success of the production. The performance was captured very artfully on film, avoiding the static panorama that many theatres employ when filming productions. Indeed, the National Theatre is deeply committed to incorporating the art of film into the NTL screening, capturing close ups of actors in monologues that strategically worked with the literature. In Othello’s first monologue, for example — spoken as he meets with the duke and Desdamona’s father — the movement of the camera is deftly used to accentuate the honorable traits that the monologue reveals. The acting in Othello fulfilled the promise of such an experienced cast. The relationship between Othello and Iago, specifically, is built very strongly on the base in Cyprus. In a scene with the two actors, Adrian Lester’s ability to vacillate between emotions in his turmoil with Desdamona is moving and critical in executing the complexity of the play. Ultimately, the National Theatre’s production takes a challenge in setting the performance in modern day and makes it a useful tool, dazzling audiences with the emotional connection that this modern setting provides. With excellent acting, the talent of the cast showcases Shakespeare’s literature. The acting skill, combined with excellent filming and set design, comes together to create a memorable performance and a worthwhile film-play hybrid.

From White Plains, featured now until Nov. 10 at the Kitchen Theatre, follows Dennis, an acclaimed, openly gay actor whose childhood was marred by homophobic bullying, in his quest to expose his childhood tormentor, Ethan. In his Oscar acceptance speech, Dennis broadcasts to the world the pain Ethan put him through — an act that leads both men down a complex and ultimately cathartic path.

The Art of the Halloween Costume I
’ve been struggling for the past several weeks now with a dilemma. Actually, to say that it’s only been several weeks is a lie; it’s been on my mind since the beginning of August when I was packing for school. It’s not a gnawing problem (it doesn’t keep me up at night), but I’ve been thinking about it for quite a while. That dilemma is what I should be for Halloween. Let me back up here: I am not one of those people who is obsessed with Halloween. Sure, it’s fun, but it’s definitely not the best holiday of the year — Christmas is the best holiday of the year (at least it is at the Mosers’. However, I do have a strong track record of witty Halloween costumes, which needs to be maintained. My desire to find a good costume has nothing to do with the pictures, or the parties; it is purely a source of personal pride. Twice in high school I won our school’s costume contest. In ninth grade, two friends and I were the Three Blind Mice. We won in the Best Group category. Senior year, my friend Caitie and I won the prize (a Starbucks gift card) for Scariest Costume for dressing up as the Common Application. I was the University of Chicago’s supplement because one of their essay options that year was “Find x.” It was truly terrifying. Prior to that, I think my favorite costume was “Cloudy with a Chance of Rain.” I wore a huge blue puffer jacket with cotton balls glued on all over, and carried a squirt gun. That was not only clever, but also I got to squirt water at people.
The other reason that “Cloudy with a Chance of Rain” was so successful, was because the huge blue puffer jacket kept me warm that chilly October evening in Los Angeles (it was like 50 degrees.) Which brings me to the criteria that govern my Halloween costumes and that should govern yours at Cornell, too. The very first and most important rule is that you be comfortable. That includes being adequately covered so that you don’t freeze to death. I know that I’m particularly sensitive to the cold as a Californian, but I also know that even objectively, Ithaca is a cold place and that October is basically the start of winter here. The genius of my costume last year was how cozy I was. As Shaun White, I wore leggings, Uggs, a USA t-shirt, snowboarding goggles on my head and let my natural wavy red locks do the rest of the work. So cozy. So all you girls who want to dress as a
Julia Moser Carrot Top Confessions slutty [insert LITERALLY ANYTHING here], just remember that you can still be slutty and wear tights. I’m pretty sure your partners will be okay with removing that extra layer. Secondly, for God’s sake, be clever. You go to Cornell. I have no respect for people who buy an entire ready-made costume
from a costume store. I’m not saying you can’t buy an accessory or two from those places, but Jesus, show an ounce of creativity. Plus, I judge you for spending money on something you can literally only wear one day a year. On Halloween, you should never be wearing exactly the same ensemble as someone else unless it’s planned. Along those lines, topicality is great, but I’m already rolling my eyes at how many Miley Cyruses and Robin Thickes I’m going to see. Plus, in ten years, you’re going to look back at those pictures and be like “Why was I dressed up as Beetlejuice again?” Also, back to my slutty girls: Really? You can’t think of anything better than slutty cat? How about a slutty zebra? Or a slutty eggplant (you just need a dark purple mini skirt and a green top — which could also double as slutty Barney for another night)? I’ve accepted that a lot of girls have taken Mean Girls’ wisdom that Halloween is just an excuse to wear lingerie in public (even though I’m pretty sure that’s not the message Tina Fey wanted people to take away from her film), but seriously, slutty schoolgirl? So overdone. Another part of being clever is making sure that other people also think you’re clever. For example, I think I’m hilarious, but often no one else does, so it’s important for me to test out an idea on my friends and make sure I’m not the only one laughing. That was the problem with my most recent idea. I thought it was super clever for me to dress as a traffic cone, but no one else thought that was particularly amusing. So now I’m back to square one, trying to think of a

Sox Head to World Series
(AP) — Big Papi, Dustin Pedroia and the bearded guys from Boston. Michael Wacha, Trevor Rosenthal and those fresh mugs from St. Louis. Pretty neat face-off in this World Series. Cardinals-Red Sox, once again in October. Fully rested, they’ll start Wednesday night at Fenway Park with Boston opening as a slim favorite. Postseason stars from past and present — Carlos Beltran, David Freese, John Lackey, David Ortiz and Adam Wainwright. Juicy plotlines — can Gold Glove catcher Yadier Molina shut down Jacoby Ellsbury and the runnin’ Red Sox? Can all-world closer Koji Uehara stop Matt Holliday and the Cardinals? Plus, plenty of history — think Stan Musial vs. Ted Williams in 1946, Bob Gibson vs. Carl Yastrzemski in ’67 or Pedro Martinez vs. Albert Pujols in 2004. Or, perhaps more memorably that last time, Curt Schilling and the bloody sock vs. The Curse. The Red Sox and Cardinals are hardly arch enemies, however. They haven’t played since Kevin Youkilis homered over the Green Monster in the 13th inning on June 22, 2008. This year, Boston and St. Louis bounced back from disappointments and tied for the most victories in the majors with 97. Not since the Braves and Yankees in 1999 have league win leaders met in the World Series (the Cardinals and Red Sox were the top-scoring teams in their leagues, too). Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino and Boston’s scraggly band rose under first-year manager John
Farrell, a season after the team hit bottom under Bobby Valentine with its most losses in nearly five decades. Matt Carpenter, Matt Adams and St. Louis rebounded a year after wasting a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series against the Giants. Manager Mike Matheny got lots of help from a rookieladen staff. Wacha was the MVP of the NLCS and is 3-0 with an 0.43 ERA in the postseason. Rosenthal took over the closer role with a 100 mph fastball. Shelby Miller, Carlos Martinez and others also made major contributions. The Cardinals captured their 19th NL pennant by trouncing Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers on Friday night in Game 6 of the NLCS. “Watching them last night, they’ve got a fantastic team. And a lot of young power arms that will walk to that mound,” Farrell said. The Red Sox earned their 13th pennant Saturday night, riding Victorino’s go-ahead grand slam to a 5-2 victory over Detroit in Game 6 of the ALCS. Uehara was the MVP with a win and three saves. “It’s been a special ride,” Pedroia said, “and we’re still going.” For Beltran, this will be his first time in the World Series. For the Cardinals, it’s their fourth trip in 10 years. For the Red Sox, it’s their third Series visit in the last decade. And they hope for a repeat performance from 2004, when they never trailed during a four-game sweep of the Cardinals and won their first championship since 1918.
By Ole Miss Rebels
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi kicker Andrew Ritter said his game-winning, 41-yard field goal attempt felt good off his foot. Then he watched with dread as it started drifting right. By the time it reached the uprights, it was dangerously close. The senior held his breath. So did the rest of VaughtHemingway Stadium. It sailed through with about a foot to spare. The crowd exploded. It was the finishing touch on Mississippi’s 27-24 upset victory over No. 6 LSU on Saturday night. “Can you believe it?” Ritter asked. It was a happy ending for Ole Miss (4-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) after the Rebels let a 17-point lead slip away completely when LSU’s Zach Mettenberger hit Jarvis Landry for a 4-yard touchdown to tie it at 24 with 3:19 remaining. But the Rebels responded with a methodical, 14-play drive that ended in Ritter’s field goal with two seconds remaining. It capped a remarkable day of upsets across the league. LSU joined Georgia, Texas A&M, Florida and South Carolina as ranked SEC teams to lose Saturday. Bo Wallace completed 30 of 39 passes for 346 yards and
Jaylen Walton rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns for the Rebels, who snapped a threegame losing streak. LSU (6-2, 3-2) nearly pulled off the comeback, but couldn’t overcome a rough game by Mettenberger, who threw three crucial interceptions. The winning field goal was redemption for Ritter, who had a 29-yard attempt blocked earlier in the fourth quarter. LSU moved the ball fairly well in the first half, especially on the ground, but Mettenberger’s bad decisions and poor throws cost the Tigers dearly. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound senior came into the game leading the SEC with 1,890 yards, 15 touchdowns and just two interceptions. But he had a brutal first half, throwing three interceptions, including two in the end zone. All three were thrown into tight coverage. Mettenberger finished 19 of 33 passing for 274 yards and a touchdown. While Mettenberger was struggling, Wallace started hot, completing 16 of 23 passes for 200 yards in the first half. Ritter kicked a 28-yard field goal in the first quarter to put Ole Miss ahead 3-0 and Barry Brunetti's 3-yard touchdown pass to Nick Parker gave the Rebels a 10-0 halftime lead.

Cornell to Face Princeton,Penn Athletes Can Play Abroad FOOTBALL
Continued from page 16
The Red fumbled the opening kickoff of the half, giving Monmouth the ball in good field position. The Hawks did not hesitate, driving 34 yards in less than two minutes before connecting with a 16-yard touchdown pass. That sequence seemed to stun the Red, and in the next 10 minutes, Monmouth was able to take back its early 17-point lead, scoring a touchdown and connecting on a 28-yard field goal in rapid succession. In the blink of an eye, the Red found itself down 34-16 going into the final quarter, needing a significant comeback to get back into the game. Mathews tried to kick off that comeback, hitting junior wide receiver Lucas Shapiro for a 27yard touchdown — Shapiro’s second touchdown since returning from injury last weekend — with
just over 14 minutes left in the game. But that was the last time the Red would change the scoreboard in its favor, as the offense was shut down the rest of the way. Monmouth went on to score two more touchdowns to go up 48-23 and effectively silence any whispers of a Cornell comeback. With four straight losses in the rearview mirror now, the Red has an arguably even more difficult schedule ahead of it. The team will finish off the season with five straight Ivy league games, three of which will be played on the road. Two of those away games will be against Princeton and Penn, who are undefeated in conference play right now and are perennially difficult teams to beat on their home turf.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — After four years on the volleyball team at Le Moyne College, Lindsey Gleason figured her competitive playing days ended with her athletic eligibility and graduation. But then she stumbled on an online ad offering the chance to earn a master’s degree in one year while on a volleyball scholarship in England. “It sounded cool,” she said. “But it also sounded like a scam.” It wasn’t. In fact, the year Gleason spent studying and playing for Durham University in northeast England was so incredible,
allowing her to travel the world and work on the 2012 London Olympics, that she’s now putting her newly earned master’s degree in business to work by giving other college athletes the same chance. She founded TeamGLEAS, a Buffalo-based network catering to American graduate students interested in playing sports abroad. “The first question I get is, ‘But what about eligibility?’” said the 25-year-old Gleason, referring to college rules that prevent students from playing more than four years. “Because we’re programmed to think that you’re done, you can’t play anymore. But it’s not an issue over there, which is a beautiful thing.” She has found a willing clientele in England, where 12 universities and colleges have signed on so far, paying a fee to appear on the 5-month-old website student-athlete clients can access for free. She is working on signing on colleges in New Zealand and Australia for the fall. The universities see it as way to diversify the student body while taking advantage of the experience and ability of highlevel U.S. athletes. “We recruit talented athletes as part of our normal business. Recruiting people who are leaders is much more difficult,” said Philip Atwell, director of sport at the University of Exeter in England. “Athletes who have played four years of NCAA are likely to galvanize our students to achieve their potential.” For lifelong athletes, leaving competitive sports behind “is devastating, really,” said Sara Shipley, who played volleyball and basketball at Nazareth College in Rochester and then coached to stay involved. “The first year I coached basketball after graduating from college, there was not a single practice that went by the whole season where I didn’t want to cry because I missed it so much,” the 30-year-old Shipley said by telephone from Newcastle. Through TeamGLEAS, she arrived at Northumbria University in northeast England in September to begin work on a master’s in international sports management. She plays volleyball for the college team as well as the British national league. “The market is there,” said Gleason, who knew she was on to something after pitching the idea at a college-wide competition of new business ideas while at Durham, which she won. Since then, she has undertaken a whirlwind schedule to sign on colleges and students. She’s met with 32 colleges in England and is now traveling the U.S. meeting student-athletes at Fordham, Temple, Penn State, UCLA and a host of other campuses. Imperial College has relied on its elite academic reputation to attract international students but sees TeamGLEAS as a more focused way to attract students who also excel at Imperial’s target sports of rowing, fencing and basketball, said Neil Mosley, head of sport at the London college.

Motzer, Sorensen, Janssen, Nick St. John, Andrew Sapozink and Russell Browning Jr. are all seniors who Coach Schassburger thinks have the ability to play at the next level. “They’re all great, but in different ways,” he said. “Benno is a seasoned veteran, Pierce has sustained some terrible injuries over the years, but always comes back stronger than before, Motzer and St. John are just phenomenal athletes, and Sapozink has gone from someone who knew nothing about the game, to an anchor up front. It will be a shame to see them go.” In the short-term, the Red is eying an undefeated Ivy season and a top seed in next semester’s Ivy Rugby Championships. As for the long-term, the team’s future looks bright. With a solid group of new recruits and proper direction from Barford and Schassburger, Cornell rugby hopes for a strong season.

opportunities, including a goal from sophomore forward John Knisely five minutes into the second. Three minutes later, sophomore forward Christian Hilbrich cashed in on another power play and the Red led 5-0 at the end of two, despite committing eight penalties up to that point. “They were all excited for that physicality to come in and hit — just some bad penalties [from] being over-exuberant about it,” Schafer said. “But our discipline with our sticks and our retaliatory penalties [was] excellent, and that’s something we’ve really made a priority with our guys this year.” Despite the high volume of penalties against the Lions, Schafer said he was pleased by the Red’s lack of mental errors. He added that he has been emphasizing a tougher stance on penalties this season. “Something I didn’t do enough last year, especially early, is to bench guys … when they come off of a bad penalty to sit for two, three, four shifts,” Schafer said. “That hurts more than anything, is not playing. [It’s] a shortterm sacrifice for a long-term goal.” With the exception of an interference call, the Red remained penalty free during the third period, in which freshman goalie Mitch Gillam came on in relief of senior goaltender Andy Iles. Cornell relinquished two York goals during the period, but got two back from Dias — including one off a great feed from freshman forward Eric Freschi. “Second one, it was a great play,” Dias said. “Cycle and a good shift. Temu — give credit to him — it was a good cycle and then Freschi made an unbelievable pass and then it was kind of just there for the net.” “He’s growing, getting more confidence in himself. He scored goals, killed some penalties for us tonight,” Schafer said of Dias. “That’s where you see the growth of these guys — not just the influx of freshmen but how guys like Madison have grown over the summer.” When the final buzzer sounded, the Red had outshot York 52-10 to cap a positive early outcome for Schafer’s squad. Schafer indicated that the team’s physical play and contributions from Dias and the freshmen were all factors he would like to see carried into the coming weeks. A big part of the Red’s success this season will also come from a new and improved Bardreau. “He’s stronger; he’s faster,” Schafer added. “I think his weight last year was 185 — he’s up to 194 this year. So through that rehab he’s put on more muscle. I think he’s quicker. His mental toughness [and how] just nothing affects him is quite evident coming back from an injury like that.” “I worked pretty hard this summer and stayed here, skated a lot, was in the weight room with our trainer and it’s been paying off for me,” Bardreau said. “Me being a smaller guy, I think putting on 10-15 pounds will help me in the corners — not get pushed around as much and give me more scoring opportunities [at] the net.” “He’s huge. He’s a great part of our team,” Dias said. “He’s a leader for sure. Having him back on that ice — not even on the ice, but [also] off the ice — it’s awesome. The Red will look to carry the momentum over into practice this week in preparation for the team’s season-opening trip to Omaha, Neb. this weekend.

Bardreau’15 Makes Successful Return to Ice By CHRIS MILLS Sun Staff Writer
Cole Bardreau is back. After suffering a neck fracture that ended his season prematurely last January at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute, the junior forward and co-captain scored twice in the Red’s Saturday night exhibition game.
Bardreau’s two early goals, coupled with a late pair from junior forward Madison Dias, propelled No. 19 Cornell (0-0, 0-0 ECAC) to a big 7-2 victory over undefeated York (4-0, 4-0 OUA) in front of a Lynah crowd of just over 4,000. “It feels awesome, especially after that first [goal],” Bardreau said. “It’s been way too long — I think it’s been seven months.

the fans and the boys.” The Red killed several early power play opportunities for the Lions, maintaining a 16-1 shot advantage in the first period. Midway through the first and down 5-on-4 via a two minute charging penalty on junior forward co-captain John McCarron, Cornell responded in a big way. Dias scooped up a loose puck from a York attacker and funneled it forward to Bardreau, who outpaced the Lions’ defense and scored on the backhand to give the Red a 1-0 lead. The goal was Bardreau’s first for the Red in over half a year. “I blacked out — I couldn’t tell you what happened,” Bardreau said, laughing. “[I was] so excited. But after that I had been planning on the celebration so it was a good feeling after.” Minutes later, sophomore forward Teemu Tiitinen scored with an assist from freshman forward Jake Weidner. Bardreau followed up with his second goal of the night on a strong feed from junior forward Joel Lowry, this time on a Red power play, to put Cornell up 3-0 going into the second. “It was just exciting to see [Cole] get back into the play,” head coach Mike Schafer ’86 said. “He’s got no reservations — he doesn’t think about it. He had to answer all the questions from [the media] throughout the course of the week and leading into the year which is really natural coming off of a major injury like that, but he’s been fully rehabbed.” The Red continued to smother York throughout the second period.

Ruggers Ready Footballers Take For Season Ahead Fourth Straight Loss By SCOTT CHIUSANO
By EDWARD McNELIS
Sun Assistant Sports Editor
Sun Contributor
Despite its impressive history, the Cornell rugby football club — which has been an active and competitive team on capus since 1879 — has received little recognition at Cornell. Senior and president Pierce Janssen said he is hopeful, though, that things are starting to change. “With revitalized alumni support, new equipment and one of the country’s best rugby coaches in Paule Barford, Cornell ruggers are finally starting to open some eyes,” he said. The team hopes that its 4-0 Ivy League record — a product of what is described as exceptional coaching, new attitude and legal violence on the pitch — will attract new fans to support the team and see why rugby is such an incredible game. This is not Coach Barford’s first rodeo. Barford has a CV that stretches from CTB to Trafalgar Square. But Cornell has provided the former coach of the U.S. National Team with a new challenge. “It’s a shame that Cornell, a program that has bred an Olympian, has not given the sport more attention,” Barford said. “We have an Olympic sport that may not be well known in this country, but is the third most popular worldwide. It’s soccer, the Olympics and then rugby.” Barford took over as head coach for Ron Schassburger, who came in at a time when the team was just a directionless hodgepodge of college kids. He is now serving as the assistant coach. “Coach Ron taught a lot of us the fundamentals of rugby,” Ryan Cleary ’13 said. “Contrary to what people may think, it’s not like, ‘kill the carrier.’ There’s a lot of skill involved, and Coach Ron was more than patient with us while we were learning.” Schassberg has appreciated the sport for a long time. See RUGBY page 15
For the fourth weekend in a row, the football team was bested in the second half, this time falling to Monmouth, 48-23. The Red went into the locker room with all the momentum, trailing by just one point, but the Hawks came out stronger, outscoring Cornell 31-7 to close out the game Saturday. Monmouth started off the game in a flurry of offense as well, jumping out to an early 17-0 lead with ten minutes left in the second quarter. The Red got off to a slow start, fumbling on its first offensive possession and allowing Monmouth to strike first with a 25-yard field goal. The offense was again stymied on the ensuing drive and Cornell was forced to punt, giving the ball back to the Hawks, who were able to convert on three straight third-down opportunities and eventually find the endzone to go up 10-0. For the second straight possession, the Red was forced to punt and Monmouth took advantage again, running more than five minutes off the clock before ending the drive with an 11-yard pass that put them ahead 17-0. With its back now against the wall, the Red finally woke up, sparked by a botched snap by Monmouth that turned into a safety for the visiting team. Though it was an unorthodox way to score, the Red captured the momentum at that moment, kicking off a 16-0 run. Senior quarterback Jeff Mathews started off the scoring spurt, keeping the ball himself for a one-yard rushing touchdown — his second in the last two weekends. With 3:50 left in the second quarter, Monmouth’s lead was cut to 17-9, and the Red was not finished yet. The defense came up big again, forcing the Hawks to punt on a three-down and out

drive. Sophomore defensive back Jarrod WatsonLewis made the big stop this time by breaking up a third-down conversion try. Sophomore corner back Matt Smith then blocked the punt, allowing the Red to recover the ball in good field position at the 15yard line. Mathews took advantage almost immediately, hitting senior wide receiver Grant Gellatly for a 15-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the drive. With all of the momentum now in Cornell’s favor, it looked as though the visitors would be able to pull ahead in the second half. But as fast as the Red had spun the game around, it was turned back on its head just as quickly when the two teams returned to the field. See FOOTBALL page 14
