Comedian, writer and actor Mike Birbiglia will come to Cornell on Nov. 18 for a night of stand-up comedy, the Cornell University Program Board announced Tuesday.

The 37-year-old Birbiglia, born in Massachusetts, has appeared in the comedy blockbuster Trainwreck and the Netflix original series Orange is the New Black, according to CUPB. He also directed, wrote and starred in the independent comedy film Sleepwalk With Me, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012.

Birbiglia’s other appearances in television and film include The Fault in Our Stars, Annie and the HBO series Girls.

He is also a regular contributor to the radio program This American Life, having been featured in episodes such as “Stranger in the Night,” “My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend” and “Of Mice and Men.” Michael Luzmore ’17, BIRBIGLIA executive chair of CUPB, said the group is “very happy” to be hosting Birbiglia for a free comedy show on campus.

“We’ve received feedback from students that they'd like to see more free comedy shows,” Luzmore said. “Through Mike and the beginning of our free Bear’s Den Comedy series, we are working to address this desire from the Cornell community.”

Birbiglia will perform in Statler Auditorium at 7:30 p.m., according to CUPB. Tickets are free for everyone and will be available beginning Nov. 3 at the Willard Straight Hall resource center and the Big Red Barn.

O captain, My(rick) captain | Mayor Svante Myrick ’09 speaks at a United Way kick off meeting Oct. 1.

Presidential candidate and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton announced that Mayor Svante Myrick ’09 is part of a team of 100 New Yorkers that will lead Clinton’s campaign in the state, according to The Syracuse Post-Standard.

Myrick is accompanied on the Hillary for New York Leadership Council by the mayor of Syracuse, Stephanie Miner, and other high-profile officials such as Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).

Cuomo and Miner have both made statements endorsing Clinton, according to The Post-Standard and the Observer.

On his Facebook page, Myrick said he would also be endorsing Clinton because he believes that she is “the most qualified candidate for president and the best bet to build upon Barack

Obama’s transformational presidency.”

“I believe that her platform will yield progressive policy successes — and I believe strongly in the power of the pioneering nature of her candidacy,” Myrick wrote.

He added that he believes a Clinton presidency would make strides for women in America today.

The Hillary for New York Leadership Council is part of a recent effort on Clinton’s part to secure the state of New York in the 2016 presidential primaries, according to The Post-Standard.

Myrick’s move to Clinton’s team is significant because it appears to divert from general views in Ithaca. Ithacans donate primarily to candidate Bernie Sanders, according to The Ithaca Voice. As of Oct. 1, Ithacans had donated three times more money to Sanders’ campaign than to Clinton’s.

Joseph Holland ’78 M.A.’79 Addresses Racial Politics Says America due for Great Awakening

By DIVYANSHA SEHGAL Sun Staff Writer

Cornell alumnus and trustee emeritus Joseph H. Holland ’78 M.A. ’79 argued that just as three centuries of Great Awakenings have shaped American social and political values, so too must the 21st century Great Awakening foster racial justice at a lecture Friday titled “Racial Justice, Revival and the Refounding of

America.”

President Emeritus Frank Rhodes introduced Holland to the audience as a Cornell alumnus, trustee, ordained minister, attorney, civic leader and activist entrepreneur.

“He was an excellent student … but it was on the football field that a wider community got to know Joe,” he said. “In the year See HOLLAND page 5

Local Press Bay Alley Will Be Transformed Into Diagon Alley Press Bay Alley, located off West Green Street in Ithaca, will be hosting a Harry Potter themed event on Halloween.

The alley will be decorated to look like Diagon Alley, with Electric Broomstick Re enactments, stories and craft time, and circus demonstrations, according to The Ithaca Journal. Attendees are encouraged to come in wizard and witch costumes.

The event has gained national attention, with 5,800 people listed as attending on the Facebook event page.

“At the beginning, we were planning a party for maybe 200 people that would be here within Press Bay Alley,” John Guttridge, Press Bay landlord, told The Journal. “As stuff has grown, we’ve decided to really just roll with it and to turn it into something really amazing.”

State New York City to Offer SAT for Free Beginning in the spring of the 2016-2017 school year, New York City will be offering the SAT for free to high school juniors. The exam will take place during the school week and not on weekends, The New York Times reported.

Only 56 percent of the class of 2015 in New York City took the SAT. Education officials said that they hope removing the fee and the sign-up requirement will allow more students to take the test, according to The Times. However, the test will not be mandatory.

Removing the fee is expected to cost New York City $1.8 million per year.

National Video of Police Confrontation Involving Teenager Causes Stir A confrontation between a white police officer at a high school in Columbia, South Carolina and a black female student turned violent when he flipped her backwards in her desk and dragged her on the floor while taking her into custody, according to The New York Times. The confrontation was caught on video.

The superintendent of the school district expressed concern over the incident and said they were working with the police to investigate the incident further, The Times reported.

C.U. to Host ‘Big Red Thon’

THE CORNELL DAILY SUN | Tuesday, October 27, 2015 3

Drops of wisdom

By JENNIFER TENGHEA Sun Contributor

Barton Hall will transform into a dance floor on Nov. 7 to host the Ivy League’s first dance marathon, Big Red Thon.

About 500 Cornellians have signed up to dance continuously for 13 hours — from Saturday through Sunday — raising nearly $15,000 out of their $50,000 goal as of Monday evening for Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital.

Chelsea Assang ’16, dance and morale captain of Big Red Thon, said the dance marathon will be divided into different dance themes. “[There will be a] hip hop hour, a rave hour [and] a Zumba hour to keep it very versatile so it appeals to a wider population,” Assang said.

“We want to keep our crowd energized and wanting to fundraise for such a great cause.”

Participants who wish to take a break from dancing can enjoy other activities such as a bounce house, a carnival and performances from some of Cornell’s dance and a cappella groups.

As an added incentive, Big Red Thon will also feature some special guest appearances.

“The head of pediatrics from [Upstate Golisano] will be coming,” said Alexandra Hill-Ricciuti ’16, executive director of Big Red Thon. “We will also have Miracle Children — some of the children who have been treated at Upstate Golisano — and their families will be coming in and speaking as well.”

HAEWON HWANG / SUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Aditya Acharya, an engineer at Dropbox, gives a tech talk about the company’s mission and founding, technical processes and work culture in Gates Hall Monday.

The Phi Mu fraternity and pre-medical fraternity Phi Delta Epsilon are sponsoring the event. However, while Assang and HillRicciuti said they are honored to bring Big Red Thon to Cornell, they do not want the event to be exclusively associated with Greek life.

“We think keeping it within the confines of a sorority will not give Big Red Thon the potential to grow as much as it should,” HillRicciuti said.

Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital is the local branch of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Phi Mu and Phi Delta Epsilon, which share the philanthropy, will donate proceeds from the event to the organization.

“All of the donations from the event are going to support the expansion of the pediatric emergency department,” Hill-Ricciuti said.

The hospital is the sole source of various

medical services for families in and around the area, and requires support to keep its doors open. According to Hill-Ricciuti, the hospital is “designed with children in mind.”

Assang mirrored this sentiment, saying that “this is the most unique hospital that I’ve ever seen.”

“From the ground level up, they’ve just put so much detail into what they do,” Assang said. “They make sure all of the machines that are seen in usual hospital rooms are behind the walls, so these kids aren’t scared of the machines [being] next to them, and there’s windows all around, so you don’t feel like you’re enclosed.”

Hill-Ricciuti said she promises Big Red Thon will be “the best all-nighter you will pull at Cornell.”

Ortiz said it is difficult to integrate hip hop into mainstream society due to hip hop’s association with certain communities.

“If there is a discomfort with hip hop in mainstream society, some of it, if not most of it, probably stems from the knowledge that it comes from poor, urban, Black and Latino communities, even though that is not the only place it comes from these days,” he added. “It is from an overall pervasive racism that does exist, either consciously or subconsciously.”

Hip hop fans at the rap battle said they are confident that their favorite form of music will one day become commonplace in schools across the country. The

C.U. Cyphers are attempting to facilitate this goal.

“What I’d like to see is C.U. Cyphers continue to do what they do and push the boundaries of what’s possible,” Ortiz said.

In pushing these boundaries, some attendees acknowledged the importance of encouraging female participation in what has largely been a male-dominated field.

“A female emcee is something very important to creating something new and original,” Deshpande said. “For an art form as diverse as hip hop, it is very sad that females are not more represented.”

21 campuses and an international community of over 500,000 advisors, according to the University.

“Cornell has a robust entrepreneurship ecosystem across many different disciplines. Blackstone LaunchPad will be a critical, new addition,” President Elizabeth Garrett said in the Blackstone release. “We want to inspire, enable and accelerate our students along the entrepreneurial path, and I cannot wait for Blackstone LaunchPad at Cornell to be up and running.”

The partnership aims to introduce entrepreneurship as a viable career option for students, and will provide over 180,000 students with a “network of venture coaches and an entrepreneurial support system,” according to Blackstone.

“The more we can do to encourage young New Yorkers with an idea to turn that idea into a viable business, the better,” said Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), welcoming the foundation’s announcement. “The LaunchPad program will help tap into that entrepreneurial spirit; it will be a tremendous resource for our students, the participating universities, and for our economy.”

The early success of Launchpad led to national recognition by President Barack Obama’s “Startup America” initiative, according to the Blackstone release. As such, the foundation pledged to expand the program over the next five years.

The program is funded by the Blackstone Charitable Foundation’s Entrepreneurship Initiative, which supports the “development of ecosystems for aspiring entrepreneurs creating the high-growth ventures that are known to spark economic growth.”

Authorities:Woman’s OSU Parade Rampage Intentional STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — A woman accused of driving her car into a crowd of people at Oklahoma State University’s homecoming parade “purposely” went around a barricade, ran a red light and drove over a police motorcycle before crashing into the spectators, a prosecutor said Monday.

“The evidence suggests this was an intentional act, not an accident,” Payne County

“The evidence suggests [the drive] was an intentional act, not an accident.”

Laura Thomas District Attorney Laura Thomas said in a public statement. The driver’s actions demonstrate “a depraved mind and indifference to human life.”

At a bail hearing, the district attorney told the judge that Adacia Chambers is “looking at four life sentences” if convicted in the deaths of four people who were hit.

Special District Judge Katherine Thomas granted the request for $1 million bail and ordered a psychological evaluation for Chambers, who is being held on preliminary counts of second-degree murder.

“This was a well-known parade day and route, and these innocents were visible from a substantial distance,” the district attorney said in the statement.

The suspect appeared at Monday’s hearing via video. The only time she spoke was to say “yes” when the judge asked if

she could hear her.

Prosecutors asked for more time to interview the dozens of witnesses who were at the scene Saturday and said one of the injured is in a “fragile” state, which could lead to more charges.

In Oklahoma, second-degree murder charges are warranted when someone acts in a way that’s “imminently dangerous to another person” but does so without premeditation. Each count is punishable by at least 10 years in prison.

Chambers, 25, of Stillwater, has yet to be formally charged — a step that requires prosecutors to file additional documents in court.

The judge scheduled the next hearing for Nov. 13.

After the hearing, Chambers’ attorney, Tony Coleman, said when he told Chambers about the deaths, “her face was blank.”

He said he was not sure Chambers is aware that she’s in jail. Chambers had yet to ask to see her parents or boyfriend.

Police are awaiting blood tests to determine whether she was impaired by drugs or alcohol.

During an earlier interview with Chambers, Coleman said he “was not satisfied at all that I was communicating with a competent individual.”

Coleman has said Chambers was at work before the crash and that she does not remember much, only that she felt confused as she was removed from the car.

Chambers’ father, aunt and boyfriend spoke outside the courthouse, telling reporters that they don’t know what led to the crash.

Come out this weekend and let the actors of Risley revive it for you, while contributing to a phenomenal cause; half of all ticket proceedings will go to the Women’s Resource Center. Tickets will be $5 on opening night, and $8 at subsquent performances.

On top of the wild ride of dramatic thrills which the movie is bound to deliver, Lerner himself will be there in the flesh presenting his most recent film. This can’t-miss event will be only $5.50 for Cornell students, and the night will kick off at 7 p.m.

The Case Against the Death Penalty

R

ichard Glossip was scheduled to die at 3 p.m. on Sept. 30, 2015. After that hour passed without event, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin issued a stay of execution, delaying Glossip’s execution until the Nov. 6. For the fourth time since October 2014, the state of Oklahoma stayed Richard Glossip’s execution.

On Jan. 7, 1997, Barry Van Treese, owner of the Oklahoma City Best Budget Inn, was found beaten to death inside his motel. Richard Glossip, the manager of the Best Budget Inn, was convicted of hiring Justin Sneed, a motel maintenance worker, to kill his boss. On June 18, 1998, Sneed was sentenced to life in a maximum-security prison for killing Van Treese. On Aug. 14, 1998, Glossip was

unusual punishment.

Stays are a necessary procedure to guard against executing the innocent — any ‘sensible’ death penalty system must allow for the delaying of execution dates if new evidence is found. Those given life sentences can be released. Those given death sentences cannot. We owe anyone sentenced to death the utmost candour and respect before we irreversibly condemn them.

Alongside this responsibility, we must ensure that the convicted is not punished twice or thrice for their crimes — a retribution both cruel and unusual — through life behind bars and torturous anxiety in addition to the final confiscation of life.

While stays and appeals are integral to a just system, extraneous delays are poiso-

By Ruben Bolling

Striking the balance between a legal system that guards against executing innocent people and one that cuts time spent in line for the needle is an unenviable task.

Yet our desire to maintain the death penalty mandates that we do so. sentenced to death on the charge of murder-for-hire.

Despite two trials and two convictions, there exists serious doubt about Glossip’s guilt. Sneed had strong incentives to implicate Glossip. Transcripts suggest that officers fed him the theory that Glossip had orchestrated the killing, promising a better outcome for Sneed if he testified against Glossip. Sneed was reputedly “terrified of the death penalty,” and framing Glossip allowed him to stay off death row.

An inmate in Sneed’s prison even reported that while talking on a prison phone, Sneed laughed about framing Glossip.

Regardless of Sneed’s honesty, under Oklahoma law the testimony of an accomplice is not sufficient basis to sentence to death someone convicted of murder-forhire. The killer’s claims must be corroborated by physical evidence linking the defendant to the crime. Such a provision is necessary to guard against wrongful implication, of which many accuse Justin Sneed. Yet Richard Glossip still received the death sentence despite no physical evidence tying him to the murder.

Execution is irreparable. Such a verdict should not be decided by an interrogator’s theory or a prosecutor’s agenda. There is something viscerally barbaric in the death penalty, be it under the gun or the needle.

There is something terrifying in the execution of an innocent man, something from which we should recoil.

Equally ruthless is the agony induced by repeated stays of execution, something Richard Glossip described as “pure torture.” In his Foster v. Florida dissent, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer recognised that such “immense mental anxiety [amounted] to a great increase of the offender’s punishment.” The torture of repeated stays forms the basis of an argument, albeit by proxy, against the death penalty as contrary to the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of cruel and

nous. On average, California death row inmates wait ten to twelve years for the state to appoint them a post-conviction attorney. Richard Glossip’s latest stay was issued more than an hour after his scheduled execution time. Both of these delays are the fault of the state. Mock execution is alive and well in the land of the free.

Justice and humanity are not synonymous, nor are they mutually exclusive.

Striking the balance between a legal system that guards against executing innocent people and one that cuts time spent in line for the needle is an unenviable task. Yet our desire to maintain the death penalty mandates that we do so. How we treat those who have done the worst is the true measure of our society.

I urge you to look into the case of Richard Glossip and the evidence supporting his innocence. Proof beyond reasonable doubt is all the more important when a life is at stake. While Oklahoma has indefinitely delayed three scheduled executions, including Glossip’s, the move has been motivated by concerns over the drugs to be used, not the innocence of the convicted. Let us not mistake it for the reform needed.

We as a society must address the corruption that impels the guilty to testify against the innocent and inures us to the suffering of those on death row. In the words of anti-death penalty activist Sister Helen Prejean, we must examine “the soil in which this tree produces such terrible fruit.” We call ourselves a civilized society, yet how can we be civilized when our justice system routinely infringes upon our fellow humans’ rights? Are we truly civilized, or just more sophisticated at hiding our base nature?

Hebani Duggal | Teach Me How to Duggal

Bro,Tonight Is Gonna Be Lit

E

very collegiate Model U.N. conference I’ve attended has taught me something new. Last year, the first conference I participated in taught me to never let anyone’s knowledge make you doubt your own and to never (voluntarily) walk in heels for more than twenty minutes. The second conference I participated in taught me that people can teach you things you could not imagine you needed to know, and that there are actually places colder than Ithaca (i.e. Canada). The Model U.N. conference I attended last weekend, however, caught me slightly offguard. Did I continue my trend of learning things in unexpected ways? Yes. Was I as confident in what I learned? Not really. Did I like the realization I came to? Honestly, I haven’t exactly decided yet; you can let me know what you think later.

Enter Ian W. Ian is hands-down the most interesting person I’ve met in a while. Ian is a Cornell freshman from Kenya. Ian has the best dress sense out of every one of my male friends. Ian has better shoes than I do, and I’m not mad about it. Anyway, the reason I’ve decided to pull Ian into this discussion is not simply because Ian referred to everything this weekend as being “lit A.F.,” but because in being entirely himself, Ian was unlike anyone I’d ever met before at a Model U.N. conference.

There are usually several types of delegates at MUN conferences — I’m not making this up just to generalize a couple people I’ve met along the way. Ask anyone who’s travelled to multiple conferences; you can usually tell delegates apart from one another by the end of the first committee session. You have your power delegate (the one that’s writing all the directives and networking the room), you have your frustratingly ideal delegate (the one that’s not necessarily wrong, but just too difficult to work with sometimes) and of course, you have the no-show delegate (the

There are usually several types of delegates at Model United Nations conferences — I’m not making this up just to generalize a couple people I’ve met along the way. one kid that never shows up and everyone is secretly jealous of right before lunch). Somewhere in between, you have everyone else, trying to win an award, yes, but also trying to learn a couple things from everyone around them in the process.

Ian did not fit into a single one of these “types.” This isn’t to say that everyone fits into a type of delegate, but there was something about Ian that set him apart. He had elements of each delegate type, but he also had a sense of humor and willingness to deal with even the most difficult people in the most laid back way so he could have the best time possible. It was Ian’s first time in D.C., and he was here to experience things apart from the competitive nature of a model U.N. conference.

So how did travelling with Ian in a car for six hours, grabbing dinner with him between hours of committee, and hearing what he had to say about each session translate over to my Model U.N. lesson of the semester?

Well, as luck would have it, the conference we attended this past weekend lacked a Friday night social event, leaving us with the responsibility of coming up with plans for the night that would please everyone after a long day of sitting in committee.

What we decided on was a night out visiting alums in D.C. and then a 3 a.m. walk from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial. Was this the most responsible idea? Probably not. Did we regret the next morning when we had to wake up for our morning committee session? Indeed. Would I go back and change the plans I made for that night? Absolutely not.

There are several delegates who would. And I’m sure those delegates will do well in the conventional sense — they’ll receive awards, rankings and all that jazz that looks fabulous on a resume.

And I’m happy for them, I really am, because if you do Model U.N. for the awards, then hats off to you; you’ve got the patience of someone waiting in line for Mongo at RPCC and the diplomacy of my dad at dinner with his mom and my mom. This trip confirmed for me why I do Model U.N. — it’s not for the grueling committee sessions, though don’t get me wrong, I’ve learned most, if not all of my soft skills through MUN’ing every year.

Instead, it’s for the people — the ones I meet in committee, the ones I spend hours driving to conferences with, the ones I drag to the Lincoln Memorial with me at 3 a.m. and drive back at 4 a.m. and the ones I stumble to committee with in the morning. I learn things I would never have learned elsewhere, in any other way, from anyone else, and I wouldn’t trade that in anytime soon.

Mitch Vanderlaan each lit the lamp twice as well en route to Cornell’s 6-1 exhibition win.

As Schafer told The Sun this past week, the head coach is trying to change the culture of the program after feeling as if some of his players lacked accountability in recent years. Both Buckles and Kubiak have seen this shift in locker room culture affect the team early on this year.

“Guys are holding each other accountable more. It’s not like if someone says something to someone they’re going to take it personally or the wrong way,” Kubiak said. “They’re going to use that to be better the next time, use that in the future to make our team succeed. I think that’s one big positive thing that we can trust each other, and we all feel together and tight. It’s going to be monumental for our team in the future, because obviously you have to have trust in your teammates and commit to each other and have good camaraderie to win anything in hockey.”

Schafer said he feels as if he gave some players in recent years too much room for error. That room for error is gone now.

“I was the biggest culprit of putting guys in those situations and having too long of a leash, and I said that the first guy here had a very short leash,” Schafer said. “If you didn’t do the right things, you sat. We sat two guys in the third period tonight that didn’t do the right things.

That’s different for our guys. They’re all in.”

Red Ends Losing Streak VOLLEYBALL

happen in a game. The Red has prepared all season. The team is now looking for its metaphorical Sunday. On this Sunday, the coaches have inspirational words for their athletes.

“Give their best and to have the confidence that their best effort will propel them to an outstanding performance,” Smith said about his message to the team. “Confidence is key and through their hard work and consistency, they’ve earned the right to toe the line at the Heps knowing they will be very successful.”

With a strong season under their belt, the cross country teams are prepared for whatever they may come across next week.

Wemhoff and a final kill from Wilson ended the match.

The victory was Cornell’s first win in the Ivy League. The Red has six games left in the regular season, and currently are at the bottom of the standings.

“Coming into the Columbia game, we had a solid game plan which we did a good job of executing,” said sophomore defensive specialist Chelsea Sincox.

“Overall, we passed pretty well, and we were able to run a balanced offense. Additionally, we did a good job defensively, on the block as well as picking up the balls behind them. The big difference this time around was a confidence and a determination to win that wasn’t there the first round of Ivies. Even when Columbia won the two sets, we held our composure.”

Those statements were echoed by head coach Trudy Vande Berg.

“We played well as a team versus Columbia and adjusted well to what they were doing,” Vande Berg said. “The best part is that we stayed aggressive throughout the entire match. Even when things weren’t going our way, we remained calm and went after it.

The entire team was 100 percent involved, which is always good to see. We really needed a win. We have been so close and have played well in our previous losses.

[We just needed] that boost of confidence for the second half of Ivy play. I know that the team is committed to getting better every day, it’s great to see a positive result.”

With another weekend full of Ivy games, Cornell has a chance to move up in the standings and make a statement to the rest of the league.

“Going into this weekend with Brown and Yale, we can look to be pressured a lot more in our serve and pass game,” Sincox said. “If we can serve and pass aggressively, I think we could get two more wins at home this weekend.”

Columbia couldn’t regain the lead, and Cornell took the second set 25-18.

The third set was no contest.

Cornell pulled away, behind Sganderlla’s standout hitting performance. Eventually the lead went to the Red 20-12, and though Columbia got close, Cornell clinched the win, 25-18.

The Red faltered in the fourth set and allowed the Lions to get some confidence back. The two teams traded leads late in the game, but it was the Lions who took the final point on a devastating kill by Columbia superstar Anja Malesevic.

It all came down to the final set. The energy was high in Levien Gymnasium, and the match reflected it. There were lead changes constantly, up until the score was tied at 12-12, but two kills from sophomore Emily

With a major meet next weekend, the team saw this meet as a major stepping stone.

“This season gets better every passing moment and has yet to have a peak,” Oliver said. “Every second, I'm getting excited thinking about the next few weeks when we'll show the rest of the nation how fierce we are ... Our tenacity has become our biggest strength, and I think we're ready to prove ourselves as the fiercest team on the course next week.”

MEN’S ICE HOCKEY

Skaters Easily Win First Two Exhibition Games Cornell dominates Ryerson, 5-2, on Saturday night, then cruises to 6-1victory over Laurentian

By JOON LEE Sun Assistant Sports Editor

The point of Saturday night’s exhibition for the Cornell men’s hockey team was never to come out and dominate Ryerson (which they did, for the most part) or establish its dominance over a collegiate team that is not even in the NCAA (which they also did, for the most part). The goal was to put that newly established locker room culture to the test on the ice versus an actual opponent for the first time. And boy, did it look real good for the Red. To say that the Red passed the test with flying colors would be an understatement to the display of dominance put forth at Lynah Rink in the team’s 5-2 victory over the Rams.

While the quality of the Red’s opponent — Ryerson has not played an NCAA Division I opponent this season — likely played a role in the team’s high-octane offensive output, there was a certain balance and patience that Cornell displayed against the Rams that the team rarely, if ever, displayed last year when the offense centered on the output of Cole Bardreau ’15, Joel Lowry ’15 and John McCarron ’15. The lines set forth, which will face tweaks in the early parts of the season, appeared to favor balance over all else.

“We go back to resetting the culture is that if guys don’t want to shoot the puck, he won’t be there,” said head coach Mike Schafer ’86. “Our fans have gotten used to

seeing that these are four or five guys that are on the power play and they get those roles and they keep those roles. Twenty years ago, I’ve gone back to my roots and if you don’t shoot the puck, you won’t be on the power play. If you don’t do the simple things, you don’t play.”

All of the Red’s offensive output came in the first period. Cornell struck first when senior forward Christian Hilbrich snuck it past Ryseron goalie Tory Passingham in a blink of an eye after a boarding penalty called on Ryerson put the Red on the power play. Junior forward Jeff Kubiak scored a goal on a 5-on-3 power play at the 10-

minute mark followed by sophomore defenseman Ryan Bliss’ goal two minutes later that the sophomore defenseman sniped top shelf past Passingham.

The offensive standout performance of the night came from junior forward Matt Buckles, who followed up Bliss’ goal with one of his own 13 minutes into the first period. But Buckles was not done. The junior forward followed up with another goal a little over two minutes after his first to give the Red a 5-0 lead heading into the locker room at the end of the first period. Buckles, who scored eight goals and tallied three assists for a total of 11 points in 2014-15, flung 10

shots on net on Saturday and personified the shift in offensive philosophy the Red has implemented this season.

“We’ve done a lot in the fall so far, changing up our offensive philosophy,” Buckles said. “Basically, we just try to get all pucks and bodies in the net and we’re confident and we’re getting used to our new offensive systems and it paid off in the first period.”

Kubiak proved himself as the second star of the night for the Red, tallying a total of four points with his own goal and an assist on the scores from Hilbrich and both Buckles’ goals.

“I know guys like [Buckles] here and other guys on our team are shooters, so I kind of like to be a passer,” Kubiak said. If I give them the puck and they’re willing to shoot and it goes in, it kind of helps me out.”

Junior goalie Mitch Gillam had a solid night in net, stopping 18 shots and allowing two goals. Gillam, in midst of a competition with sophomore netminder Hayden Stewart for playing time, put in an effort that certainly did not detract from his chances of taking up the majority of the time for the Red between the pipes.

In the Red’s second exhibition of the weekend against Laurentian, the team saw standout performances from its freshman class. Freshman forward Anthony Angello netted four goals while freshman defenseman Alec McCrea and freshman forward See M. ICE HOCKEY page 11

CROSS COUNTRY

XC Teams End Regular Season on Positive Note

By BRITTANY BIGGS Sun Staff Writer

With championships in sight, the Cornell cross country teams competed in their final regular season meet this weekend on their own home turf at Makley Field in the John Reif Memorial Meet. The teams competed against programs from Syracuse and Cortland and took many of the top spots on both the men’s and women’s sides.

“I think the most important thing is that we have learned to work together very well as a team.”

Jess Elliot ’18 more Jess Elliot was able to take the top spot with a time of 18:11.9.

She was joined in the Top-5 by freshman Suzie Petryk, sophomore Mary Barger and senior Dina Lacone. It was a meet of many personal bests for a team that has been working hard all season. Because the Red is only allowed to bring 12 to the meet next week, athletes who competed in this weekend’s meet will not be running in the Ivy

League Heptagonal. However, they still contributed greatly to the zeitgeist of the team.

“I thought this meet provided us with a great deal of momentum heading into next week,” said head coach Artie Smith. “It was inspiring to see so many people running personal bests and producing so many huge seasonal bests. The times were surprisingly fast and that is a testament to the hard work the entire team has put in this fall. This team has been getting better every week and the momentum clearly continues.”

This weekend’s big winner also feels the optimism surrounding the team.

“We have all improved a lot individually over the past few months, but I think the most important thing is that we have learned to work together very well as a team,” Elliot said.

The men’s cross country team was also able to receive a large push from this weekend’s meet. The top finisher for the Red was senior George Oliver, who secured an eighth place finish. Sophomore Michael Wang also completed a Top-10 finish, coming in ninth place for the Red. The team was See CROSS COUNTRY page 11

Volleyball Defeats Columbia

By OLIVIA MATTYASOVSZKY Sun Staff Writer

It’s a new start for Cornell volleyball. The team entered the second half of conference competition when the Red traveled to New York City to face the Columbia Lions for the second time in one month.

Recently against Ivy League opponents, Cornell has started the match strong, taking the first set only to lose momentum and

drop the match. Last time the Red played Columbia this was that exact pattern. Cornell took the first set handily 25-21 only to lose the next three. This time, however, the pattern was interrupted.

“I think what really helped us was thinking about this second round as a fresh start,” said junior Macey Wilson. “We felt like we had a new chance to prove ourselves to everyone.”

Cornell dropped the first set,

25-18. After remaining close for most of the set, the Lions went on a five point run, forcing a side-out at 20-18 and taking the next five to end the set.

The second set was another dog-fight, but this time it was the visitors who went on a run to pull away. Cornell and Columbia were neck and neck at 12-11 until Wilson and freshman Carla Sganderlla each slammed down a See VOLLEYBALL page 11
