Cornell Tech,Law School Launch New Degree Program One-year Master of Laws program will help graduates navigate technological, digital industries

By ANNIE BUI

Sun Managing Editor

Cornell Tech and Cornell Law School announced the creation of a new Master of Laws degree program on Tuesday, which will give current attorneys and graduates the skills to “support and lead technology companies in the digital economy,” according to the University.

The one-year LLM degree in law, technology and entrepreneurship is full-time and will be offered at Cornell Tech in New York City, according to a University press release.

Officials say they expect students to begin enrolling in 2016.

Classes will be taught at Cornell Tech’s temporary home in Chelsea until mid-2017, when the school moves to Roosevelt Island.

As part of the academic model at Cornell Tech — where “education and research are tied closely to creating and growing companies and products” — students of the new program will have the opportunity to work their creative muscles through developing products and other solutions in response to “challenges posed by companies,” according to the release.

Through this kind of work, students will confront realworld situations that can be found in the realms of entrepreneurship and business in the technology sector. They will also gain the skills needed to navigate the “evolving environment around the digital economy.”

Dan Huttenlocher, dean of Cornell Tech, said in a statement that typical law programs have not been designed to address the evolving nature of the digital economy as well as its societal, policy and legal implications.

“This groundbreaking LLM program is the first of its kind to give lawyers the tools to be entrepreneurial thinkers, supporting technology startups, product development and the fast-paced growth that is driving the economy,”

planned Cornell Tech campus, currently under construction on Roosevelt Island.

Huttenlocher said.

Eduardo Peñalver ’94, dean of the law school, said that with today’s “rapid pace of innovation” in the tech sector, there exists a need for lawyers who are trained in law, technology and entrepreneurship.

“The goal of the LLM will be to educate this new generation with the cutting-edge lawyering skills and the business acumen necessary to become first-class attorneys working at

the forefront of an entrepreneurial economy,” Peñalver said.

“With virtually every modern company relying on technology and the law to further its business model, Cornell is the only university that offers an integrated program designed to equip talented lawyers with the tools for entrepreneurial success.”

Developer Breaks Ground on Dryden South WCM Dean Accused of

By MAXWELL DOPSCH Sun Contributor

The first layers of concrete for the Dryden South building will be poured Friday, and from there the project will “start going up very quickly,” according to Patrick Kraft, developer of Dryden South

and owner of Kraftees book store.

Located at 207 Dryden Rd., the first floor of Dryden South will be visible by Thanksgiving, Kraft said. By the time Cornell students return from their break in January, the majority of the building’s framework is expected to be standing, with full completion slated for Aug. 1, 2016.

will be on the first floor, and all of the upper floors will be housing that was designed specifically to accommodate Cornell students,” Kraft said.

Floors two through five will contain four-bedroom suites, with two large penthouse suites on the sixth floor for a total of 40 beds, according to the Dryden South website.

Each suite will have two baths and be fully furnished. Floor plans currently indicate that bedrooms will have 130-140 square feet of floor space and 9.5 ft ceilings. Heat and hot water will also be included in the rent. The basement will contain a fitness center, garbage facilities, bike storage and laundry.

Although a number of leases have already been signed for the 2016-2017 academic year, Kraft said there are still rooms available.

Jacox Ph.D.’56 Donates $1.5M to Arts and Sciences

Establishes new scholarship program to aid female undergraduates studying math, science

By PHOEBE KELLER Sun Assistant News Editor

The estate of Marilyn Jacox Ph.D. ’56, who died in 2013, has donated $1.5 million to the College of Arts and Sciences to fund a scholarship program for female undergraduates studying science and math.

Jacox received her bachelor’s degree from Utica College of Syracuse University in 1951 and went on to complete her doctoral research at Cornell. However, when she applied for a position at over 75 universities after graduation, Jacox found that opportunities were closed to her in a male-dominated field, according to the University.

“Marilyn started her career during an extremely challenging time for female scientists, in a physical chemistry field, in which women were essentially absent,” said Gerald Fraser, chief of the Sensor Science Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Undeterred by these obstacles, Jacox went on to become an internationally renowned leader in the field of molecular spectroscopy and enjoyed a long and successful career at the National Bureau of Standards, according to her obituary.

Her research has garnered many awards over the years and remains a valuable reference for scientists today.

Yuan Pern Lee, of the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, said that when he worked with Jacox he was struck

by her dedication and attention to detail.

“I was most impressed by her memory,” he said. “When we were discussing about a particular molecule, she always remembers what its vibrational frequencies are and who did what work and published in which journal.”

Lee also recalled Jacox encouraging young scientists at conferences, saying he was “deeply moved” to hear of her gift designed to assist female scientists at Cornell.

“She won her technical arguments, not by the loudness of her voice, but by her careful experiments and analysis.”

Gerald Fraser “I remembered vividly that during the conferences she always talked to young female scientists and guide them to improve their research, give her tips to overcome the obstacles,” he said.

Prof. Lester Andrews, chemistry, University of Virginia, said he would always send Jacox his papers to revise because “she probably knew more than anyone else.”

Fraser remembered Jacox as a dedicated worker, recount-

ing a time when she tripped and broke her wrist, but appeared at work the next day as if nothing had happened.

He also pointed out that she continued to do research at NIST fulltime for nearly 20 years after her official retirement in 1996.

“She succeeded by doing careful, high-quality work, by choosing important problems in physical chemistry and by maintaining a high-level of productivity throughout her career,” he said. “She won her technical arguments, not by the loudness of her voice, but by her careful experiments and analyses.”

Fraser said he believes Jacox saw the scholarship as a way to recognize the important role Cornell played in her career and encourage young female scientists engaged in similar ventures.

“Marilyn well recognized the challenges that female scientists experience in choosing a career in science, and likely hoped that her scholarship might remove one of the impediments for success,” he said.

Prof. Barbara Baird, chemistry, agreed, saying Jacox’s generous bequest to female undergraduate pursuing math and science shows that “this was her plan all along.”

“I think she pursued her career primarily for the rewards of doing good science that others could use and continue,” See SCHOLARSHIP page 4

Student Union Demands Divestment, Shared Governance

By BRIAN ENG Sun Staff Writer

The Cornell Independent Student Union demanded the University divest from fossil fuels and revitalize its governance system at the its rally in the Willard Straight Hall lobby Thursday.

CISU promotional fliers distributed at the meeting shamed the trustees for their lack of action on the issue, “despite the fact that every shared governance body has voted in favor of divestment from fossil fuels.”

“There was some hope from some [Trustees] that they would act in a compassionate way,” said CISU organizer Alec Desbordes ’17. “However, we’ve been really disappointed.”

Last Friday, the Board of Trustees held an open session on the issue, during which community members urged the board to consider divestment.

Desbordes said the Board of Trustees open session Friday was not indicative of an

ideological shift on the issue of fossil fuel divestment, but merely a way to prevent a disruptive demonstration.

“Basically they don’t want to take responsibility,” Desbordes said. “They just see themselves as the finance managers and supreme powers, which they are, of the University.”

CISU aims to become the students’ collective bargaining agent and to “create such de facto power, as opposed to de jure power, that we would be listened to,” Desbordes said. He said that enough student mobilization will prompt the administration to respond.

Desbordes emphasized that greater student and public influence in the University’s governance would improve the University’s responsiveness to “issues at the forefront of student concern” like the potential labor violations in Qatar and the University’s divestment from fossil fuels. By holding “an organizing rally to get people conscious,” Desbordes said CISU intends to “bring back a narrative of power for the students.”

United for change | The Cornell Independent Student Union urges the University to divest from fossil fuels and adjust its governance system in Willard Straight Hall Thursday.

When asked about the origin of this “narrative of power,” Desbordes said student activism throughout history, such as the anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s and 1970s, “really showed that if you have the organizing capacity and the will, you can change the university.”

CISU organizer Joshua Yeh ’16 emphasized that student movements through history have been instrumental to change, including the anti-war demonstrations, the

clean air and water passage, civil rights movements and now anti-sweatshop movements.

“Cornell is a beautiful place with amazing people, and it has so much potential,” Yeh said. ”Criticism comes out of a point of love, and you have to care about a place to want to make it better.”

S.A.Proposes Adding Sexual Orientation Inquiry to C.U.Common App

tion at Cornell available to the LGBT Resource Center. The Student Assembly voted to add questions on students’ sexual orientations to the Common Application and will send the resolution to the administration for a final decision.

The resolution, which is titled Collecting LGBTQ+ Demographic Data, proposes adding two optional questions, specifically regarding a student’s gender identity and sexual orientation.

This resolution, which was voted down last year in the face of questions about how such a questionnaire would be distributed, was represented this year with the addition that the questions be added to the Common Application. The resolution also noted the possibility of expanding these inquiries to other applications.

This new initiative would “allow the administration to analyze grade retention for LGBTQ+ students which we currently do not have, although other status groups do,” said Phillip Titcomb ’17.

Robert Dunbar ’18 and other members of the Student Assembly raised concerns that the demographic data would be used as a way to implement affirmative action policies.

“This has been brought up within administration, however admissions officers have pointed out that many students selfreport their gender identity or sexual orientation in other supplemental admission materials as well,” Titcomb said.

According to the 2014 Hurtado Report, many queeridentifying students, especially trans* students and queer students of color, face social and

academic exclusion at Cornell.

The Association of American Universities also reported that 29 percent of non-heterosexual females and 11 percent of nonheterosexual males experience non-consensual sexual conduct as compared to the 22 percent and 5 percent of the heterosexual populations, respectively.

The LGBT Resource Center said they are currently unable to contact incoming students to create the networks necessary to support such students. Through this resolution, the S.A. hopes not only make such resources more accessible, but also further promote inclusivity on campus, according to Titcomb.

The resolution was passed 18-0-3 with two community votes counted in favor.

protests at the homes and office of Laurie Glimcher,” Moss said.

Moss said he believes Glimcher was targeted because she was a “very prominent member of the board, she’s the dean of a medical college, she has treated patients in clinical practice, and she knows that you don’t abandon anyone, human or chimpanzee.”

Moss also believes that the NYBC’s withdrawal could be in violation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, an agreement which protects the endangered plants and animals.

“I do believe that abandoning animals with no food and water is a violation of international law,” he said.

Both the United States and Liberia are member states of this voluntary treaty, having signed on in 1974 and 1981, respectively.

NYBC’s website claims that the sanctuary was voluntarily funded by NYBC “until the Government of Liberia could take over.” It further notes that the Liberian government and animal rights organizations

“The government of Liberia didn’t create this problem,” he said. “[NYBC] created this problem and for them to now walk away and say ‘this is the government of Liberia’s responsibility’ is outrageous.”

Moss added that, because the NYBC’s $400 million in assets make it able to afford to continue its funding, it has a responsibility to do so.

Glimcher denies affiliation with this decision, saying that she “can’t provide any insight about these decisions” as her term on the board did not begin until 2013. She deferred to NYBC on the specifics of the issue.

“As a scientist, I strongly support the ethical and humane treatment of animals used in research,” Glimcher said. “I have a great respect for these animals and recognize the value they bring in our pursuit of new cures for devastating human diseases.”

The activists plan to protest at NYBC’s 50th anniversary fundraising gala, according to Moss.

“People are coming in from Ohio, Texas, San Francisco ... to participate in this protest,” he said.

“People are furious.”

Sarah Smith, director of media relations for WCM, said Glimcher vacated her position at the NYBC because her two-year commitment had expired.

“She declined the opportunity to pursue a second term due to her responsibilities at Weill Cornell Medicine,” Smith said.

Father of Young Child Crushed by Tombstone Testifies

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — The father of a 4-year-old Utah boy who was crushed to death by a tombstone while taking pictures with his family testified Thursday that he turned from his camera to see his son looking at him as he lay trapped under the 250-pound stone.

The case went to a jury after Zac Cheney took the stand at the end of the three-day trial in a lawsuit by the family alleging his son Carson died after the cemetery association allowed the stone to get dangerously weak with shoddy maintenance and failed to warn people about possible danger, including that headstones had fallen before.

“He had his eyes open and he was looking at me, and he was just gasping, trying to breathe,” Cheney testified.

The boy was caught between the headstone and footstone and died of a head injury.

The Glenwood Cemetery Association contends the cemetery was well-maintained and the 1889 headstone was stable before the boy started playing on it on July 5, 2012.

Cheney, his wife and two sons had come to the picturesque cemetery after a family friend asked Cheney to

take pictures amid their reunion at a nearby Park City, Utah, resort.

Carson Cheney was trying to pop out from behind the tombstone to make other children smile for the camera, said the family’s lawyer, Ron Kramer. The children were restless, so the boy’s mother had encouraged him to help by pretending to be a leprechaun, Kramer said.

The cemetery opened in 1885 for silver miners and their families, but as the industry faded, it fell into disrepair. The association restored the cemetery and welcomed the public, including school groups that did rubbings on gravestones, Kramer said.

Carson’s family says steel dowels that attached Michael Horan’s headstone to its base rusted out over the years, and it was repaired with construction adhesive. They are seeking between $2 million and $4 million in damages.

The association denies fixing the stone. Attorney Paul Belnap said the Horan family and volunteers had been making regular inspections in the months before the boy’s death and as recently as two days before. They did not find any outward problems with the stone, he said.

Engineer James McCullough testified that the headstone was stable because it withstood winds of about 50 mph.

“It if was that close to tipping, the wind could easily have tipped it over,” he said.

The cemetery was closed for six weeks after the boy’s death, and when it reopened, the association posted signs asking people not to touch the headstones and to stay on footpaths.

There have been other cases of injuries and deaths from a falling tombstone in recent years.

In June 2012, the month before Carson’s death, a 4year-old North Carolina girl was killed when a massive cross fell off a tombstone as she played before Bible study class.

The following year, a cemetery worker in Texas died after a tombstone weighing about a ton fell on him in Edinburg.

In May, a 4-year-old boy in Odessa, Texas, died after a tombstone fell on him while he was visiting a cemetery with his family.

Minn.Man Suspected Trump Reels in Debate Aftermath In1989 Kidnapping Polls show Carson ahead of Trump in primary race MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota man charged with child pornography after a search of his home found pictures of naked boys is also a “person of interest” in the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling, whose 1989 abduction led his parents to launch a national center to prevent child exploitation.

Daniel James Heinrich, 52, was charged Thursday with five counts of possessing or receiving child pornography. Richard Thornton, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis office, said Heinrich is a person of interest in Wetterling’s abduction, but he has not been charged in that case.

Thornton told a news conference that Heinrich was originally looked at after Wetterling’s abduction and again when investigators reviewed the cold case.

Wetterling was 11 when he was abducted on Oct. 22, 1989, near his home in the central Minnesota community of St. Joseph.

“The defendant has denied any involvement in the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling,” U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said.

Authorities stopped short of calling Heinrich a suspect.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Heinrich had an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

The federal defender’s office in Minneapolis did not have Heinrich in its system. Heinrich — who lives in Annandale less than two blocks from a middle school — was in custody Thursday. A number listed for a possible brother did not work.

The disappearance of Wetterling led his mother, Patty Wetterling, to become a nationally recognized advocate for missing children. She and her husband, Jerry, founded the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, which works to help communities and families prevent child exploitation.

“The search for Jacob is an ongoing investigation and we will watch and learn like everyone else,” the boy’s parents said in a statement Thursday.

FBI agent Thornton said that

as part of their review of the Wetterling case, investigators used new forensic technology to analyze DNA on clothing worn by a young boy who was kidnapped and sexually assaulted in the same county about nine months before Wetterling’s abduction. The DNA was a match to Heinrich, Thornton said. That and other evidence led authorities to search Heinrich’s home July 28.

Heinrich was not charged in that sexual assault because the statute of limitations expired, Luger said. Court documents show he was arrested in that case back in 1990, but was released without charges.

The application for a search warrant shows authorities went to Heinrich’s home last summer seeking “Jacob Erwin Wetterling ... Alive or any human remains.”

They were also seeking items including a red T-shirt with the name Wetterling on the back and a red hockey team jacket with the name Jacob on the front.

Luger said child pornography found in the search led to Thursday’s charges.

Luger said authorities seized items including 19 3-ring binders that contained pictures of naked boys. Some of the boys were known victims of sexual exploitation — but there were no pictures of Wetterling. Authorities also found videotapes of boys carrying out routine activities such as delivering newspapers or riding bikes.

Some of that material was shot with a hidden camera, Luger said.

Jacob Wetterling was riding his bicycle with a brother and a friend when a masked gunman abducted him. The case has remained in the public eye over the past 26 years as names of potential suspects surfaced and faded. The family periodically released updated pictures, showing what Wetterling might look like as an adult.

The criminal complaint says that in 1990, Heinrich gave his shoes and car tires to investigators. They found the items were “consistent” with tracks left in a gravel driveway near the site of Wetterling’s abduction, but couldn’t be ruled an exact match.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump emerged Thursday from a debate in which he appeared to take a back seat to his rivals by lashing out at the media as he continues to adjust to a race in which he is no longer the undisputed front-runner.

Trump told more than 3,000 supporters at a rally at the Nugget hotel-casino in Sparks, Nevada, that he was pleased with his lower-key performance during the third GOP debate in Boulder, Colorado, even if the “crooked people in the press” won’t give him credit.

“Last night, all of the polls — every single one of ’em — said I won,” Trump bragged, referring to online questionnaires taken during and after the debate.

The “polls” Trump referred to are not scientific surveys of a representative sample of Americans, but reader polls of a self-selected group of respondents who often have opinions very different from those of the general public.

Trump’s performance Wednesday evening was a departure from the first two Republican debates.

The billionaire businessman and real estate developer took a less dominating role, allowing rivals like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio to take the spotlight.

Speaking Thursday afternoon, Trump took credit for predicting that tension between Rubio and his former mentor, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, would spill out into the open, but was otherwise largely complimentary of his rivals.

He said he thought Cruz and Rubio had done

well in the face of tough questions and thanked former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for defending him when asked whether he thought Trump had the moral authority to be president.

“I really appreciated Mike Huckabee for, you know, sticking up for me,” Trump said. “He’s a good man.”

He also noted how well he and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson have been getting along, laughing and winking at each other on stage, despite the fact that Carson has surpassed Trump’s lead in some polls.

Trump’s harshest words were reserved for the media, drawing cheers and applause.

Trump said he’d come to expect ill treatment from a biased press and therefore wasn’t as angry as some of the other candidates or the Republican National Committee about CNBC’s handling of the debate.

“I’ve become immune to it,” he said. “Honestly, I’ve seen things that are so bad with the press.”

He took particular issue with having been described as begging Iowa voters for support during a rally earlier this week.

“The last thing I am is a beggar, OK?” he said.

“It’s just not me.”

Audience member Paul Munding, a retired veteran who recently moved to Reno from San Jose, California, said he first thought Trump’s candidacy was a “waste of time” but had since come around.

“I think the more people hear him, they start to realize what he is saying makes sense,” he said.

Another Guantanamo Inmate Released MIAMI (AP) — Another prisoner has been released from the detention center on the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Pentagon said Thursday.

Ahmed Abdel Aziz was sent back to his native Mauritania after 13 years in custody at Guantanamo. He is the 14th prisoner released this year amid a continuing standoff between President Barack Obama and Congress over Obama’s attempt to close the detention center.

Aziz was initially detained as a suspected member of al-Qaida with ties to some of the most senior members of the terrorist organization.

He was captured by Pakistani authorities at a suspected alQaida safe house and turned over to the U.S. He was never charged with a crime.

His lawyer, Clive Stafford

Smith of the human rights group Reprieve, said the release was long overdue and the U.S. owes an apology to the 45-year-old Aziz.

The former prisoner has a wife and son in Mauritania and immediately reunited with them upon arrival in the North African country. Aziz plans to work at a newspaper owned by his brother-inlaw, the lawyer said.

“While it’s great that Ahmed is home with his family, it’s 14 years late, and long after he was cleared,” Smith said. “His release was only delayed because he, an innocent man, routinely protested his mistreatment. “ The Pentagon said in a statement that Aziz’s release came after a “comprehensive review of his case” and after Defense Secretary Ash Carter ensured it was in compliance with standards set by Congress. “The United States is grateful to the government of

Mauritania for its willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility,” it said.

There are now 113 prisoners at Guantanamo, including 53 who have been cleared for release or transfer.

Congress has thwarted the Obama administration’s effort to close the prison with a ban on transferring prisoners to the U.S. and restrictions on sending them abroad. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the president remains committed to closing the prison.

Earnest did not rule out the president eventually issuing an executive order to hasten the prison’s closure, saying Obab has made clear his willingness to use his executive authorities to make progress on key priorities, and “this would certainly be one of his priorities.”

Governments Gather to Discuss Syrian Unrest

VIENNA (AP) — The success or failure of the Syrian peace talks this week is tied to the fate of one man who’s not even at the table: President Bashar Assad.

Neither Assad nor any of his representatives are in Vienna, where U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and senior diplomats from almost 20 other countries began negotiations Thursday. But his future is at the heart of all the talks.

The broad group of governments — an unprecedented collection of countries on the Syria issue — is looking for a plan that might convince Syria’s government and its Western-backed rebels to agree to a national cease-fire and start a long process of “political transition.”

Even bitter foes Iran and Saudi Arabia will be sitting at one table along with their powerful partners, Russia and the United States.

That reflects the urgency all parties say they’re attaching to finding a peace formula.

It’s mostly about Assad.

Since the start of Syria's unrest four years ago, his future has been a stumbling block to all efforts aimed at ending the fighting.

President Barack Obama demanded that Assad leave power in 2011.

Russia resisted the push by blocking attempts at the United Nations to pressure the Syrian leader and insisting that any new government only be established by mutual consent of both the government and the opposition. That essentially gave Assad veto power over his own would-be replacements.

The United States and its Arab and European allies have since tempered their calls, suggesting that Assad can remain in office for months as part of the transition if he agrees to resign at the end of the process. But even that softened demand has been too much for Russia and Iran, who are both engaged militarily alongside Assad’s forces, fighting rebels supported by the Saudis and the Americans.

And neither of the Syrian sides has suggested they would support

such a plan.

In Vienna, Kerry is being joined by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and counterparts from other nations, all hoping to get past disagreements that have held back international mediation efforts over the conflict's four-and-a-half years. More than 250,000 people have been killed and more than 11 million people — half the country's population — have been uprooted from their homes. The war has led to the rise of the Islamic State and sparked a refugee crisis that has deeply unnerved much of Europe.

“We’ve a lot of very important meetings. We’ll see what happens,” Kerry said as he kicked off his first session, with Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz. Kerry then met with the U.N. envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, his key counterpart in a seven-nation nuclear deal wrapped up in July.

He later met with the foreign ministers of Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey before bigger talks on Friday.

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Wednesday that Assad must step down “within a specific timeframe,” though he didn't elaborate. That unleashed bitter recriminations from Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi, who called al-Jubeir a “tumor.”

Given their differences, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini played up the significance of the meeting.

“It is very important that tomorrow, here in Vienna, we’ll have all the relevant actors both regionally and internationally ... around the same table trying to define a common space for the beginning of a political process,” she told reporters after meeting Zarif.

Even if the countries do reach an agreement on Assad it won’t solve everything. Syrians of all stripes will have to figure out how to stop the violence between the army and the many different militant groups and how to share power in a government comprised of such fierce enemies.

Boat Carrying Hundreds of Refugees Capsizes LESBOS, Greece (AP) — An autumn chill had set in and winds were blowing at 30 miles per hour (50 kph) when the wooden boat, packed with families from Syria and Iraq, set out on the short crossing from Turkey to the Greek island of Lesbos and the promise of a new life in Europe.

Partway across, it capsized, triggering a scene of panic, confusion — and compassion — in a dramatic rescue recorded on video from a boat involved in the operation.

A Greek Coast Guard vessel sped to the site of the latest migrant catastrophe on Europe’s doorstep. So did an array of volunteers, including Spanish lifeguards and Turkish fishermen, who crammed dozens of distraught people onto the decks of their small boats.

People bobbing in the water — the lucky

ones in lifejackets — were hauled aboard fishing boats where they huddled, shaking and sobbing. It was too late for one man, pale and cold, who was placed gently into a black body bag. Several other corpses bobbed in the water.

Spanish lifeguards, who had left the beaches of Barcelona to help save refugee lives in Greece, dragged people from the water onto the backs of jet-skis.

The Greek Coast Guard said 242 people were rescued in the operation Wednesday night, including at least 18 children. At least seven people died, and more than 30 are missing.

As the rescue boats arrived in the port town of Molyvos, paramedics and local volunteers raced to treat the shocked, chilled survivors. Among them were children, some

scarcely more than babies, bundled up by their parents for a perilous journey.

As one boat docked, a medic scooped a small child in his arms and rushed ashore.

Another man looked urgently for signs of life in a limp, dark-haired toddler wearing a colorful striped top. Doctors struggled to revive several unconscious children; it was unclear whether any had died.

Men and women wrapped in thermal blankets sobbed, with shock or relief, as they limped ashore.

As dawn broke, the sea looked deceptively calm and blue. Blanket-wrapped survivors sat in a quayside square scattered with discarded shoes, boxes of clothes and a mound of orange lifejackets. In a nearby chapel, medics tended to the many suffering from shock or hypothermia.

Reports Claim New Child Policy Could Improve China’s Economy

BEIJING (AP) — China’s decision to abolish its onechild policy is a boon to couples and to sellers of goods from formula to diapers to toys. And it might help defuse economic stresses caused by an aging population.

The impact of the surprise change announced Thursday is expected to be gradual. But with incomes rising in the world’s most populous country, even a small uptick in births could translate into higher demand from Chinese that could ripple around the world.

The decision to let all married couples have two children, ending a policy that limited many urban families to one, coincides with official efforts to encourage economic growth based on consumer spending.

Wei Guang, the father of an 8-year-old son, said he and his wife already were considering whether to have a second child, even though the cost was daunting. Wei said food, clothes, nannies, after-school lessons and other expenses can cost 100,000 yuan ($16,000) a year.

“We know the cost will be substantial,” said Wei, 51, who works in media and whose wife is in her 30s. “But we can manage.”

Citigroup researchers said they expect a 5 percent to 10 percent rise in Chinese births.

The one-child policy had been intended to conserve resources, and the ruling Communist Party has said it led to 400 million fewer births. But that also caused China’s average age to soar, prompting concern about whether a shrinking workforce could support a growing pool of retirees.

China already had one of Asia's highest median ages at 37.3 years in 2014, and that could rise to 40 by 2025, according to Media Eghbal of Euromonitor International, a research firm.

The size of China’s workingage population ages 15 to 64 is set to decline starting next year, according to Eghbal.

Euromonitor estimates that the workforce will shrink by 11 million people in 2015-20.

The latest change “is significant and likely a response to the pressures that have been building,” said Eghbal.

No one anticipates any immediate boom in babies or economic growth for China. It will take decades for babies born under the relaxed policy to have a significant effect on the workforce.

“Everything for the next 15 or 20 years is already baked into the cake,” says Nicholas Eberstadt, a demographer at the American Enterprise Institute.

Because of the cost of raising a child, some Chinese families may also hesitate to take advantage of the policy change.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT The Cornellians Behind BoJack Horseman

BY GWEN AVILES Sun Staff Writer

N OEL BRIGHT: I’m one of the executive producers that runs the show with other producers here [in] L.A. I’ve been with the show since the beginning, which is actually how I met Keith.

KEITH OLBERMANN : I’m the voice of Tom JumboGrumbo, who’s a news anchor at MSNBSea on the show, and what was special about this project was that for once I was not playing me […] although parts of the character do come from me. It’s my voice, but it’s not me on camera.

You know I’m not horsing around when I say that Cornell alums go on to do big things. But did you know that Noel Bright ’94, the executive producer of BoJack Horseman, and Keith Olbermann ’79, voice of Tom Jumbo-Grumbo on BoJack and renowned broadcaster, once walked on the very same slush-covered steps and studied in the exact dungeon-like stacks as you?

me hands-on daily experience doing broadcasting where there was money on the line because we sold commercials. In terms of the Cornell community, you must learn how to budget your time to last a week, to last a day. You have to pick what you’re going to get away with not doing and learn how to cut corners. No place in my life has come close to WVBR. It made me employable and gave me the ability to do some news. Nothing that I have encountered in my career I didn’t first encounter at WVBR and Cornell.

N.B.: First of all, I’d say it taught me to open my eyes a little bit to the world mostly through the classes I took and the people around me. I was an ILR major, which taught me to look at the world through a specific lens and try to understand organizational behavior. Just because a corporation exists doesn’t mean it’s good. Cornell taught me you can do whatever you want to do. Cornell brings things together and brings the right people together in the same way. I then learned starting a TV show and starting a business were the same thing. For both, you have to put all the right people around you. Cornell taught me to be open-minded and my time there inspired me to drive out to L.A. for my first job.

SUN: Do you have any advice for Cornell students looking to get involved in media?

N.B.: The piece of advice I have for Cornell students is to decide as early as you can what you want to do and where you want to be and don’t lose sight of that. Be vocal about it if you want it badly, and you can achieve it.

Secondly, be prepared to be slightly diverted. Nothing is really in your control. I think your career is a mix of your ambition, your personality and the circumstances in your life. Push as hard as you can and that will typically work out.

K.O.: If your dart hits the dartboard that’s actually a terrific accomplishment, and doable given how big the world is. My advice is that you cannot have too many diverse skills. Last time I saw Jonathan Rubinstein ’78, who basically invented the iPod, he was rebuilding headphones [...] on Linden Ave. Jay Walker ’78 invented Priceline. To do things like that you have to have amazing skills that apply to mechanical changes. You have to be capable of doing more than one thing.

Chamber Music Redefined at Barnes

BY TYRAN GRILLO Sun Staff Writer

The term “chamber music” can be quaint or constricting. In the first sense, it describes music played in a small space and on a smaller scale than, say, a symphony orchestra; in the second sense, a literal and figurative confinement that will never match the volume of said orchestra. Tuesday’s performance by cellist Steven Isserlis and fortepianist Robert Levin at Barnes Hall threw open the windows on both misconceptions. Throughout the evening’s all-Beethoven program, these established musical partners held conversation not only among themselves, but also with the immovable spirit of invention that was the composer’s gift. Beethoven was unprecedented in spotlighting the cello in such an intimate setting, and the duo’s traversal of the Cello Sonatas Nos. 1, 3 and 5 clarified this sea change in duly harmonious fashion.

Yet if the First Sonata, composed in 1796 during Beethoven’s Berlin period, is indicative of any major transformation, one might flag it in the piano’s from mere accompaniment to virtuosic centrality.

Throughout the sonata’s two long movements, each working slowly but surely into whirlwinds of expression, cello and fortepiano revealed their affinity at the hands of these two masters. Levin’s running fingers cast shadows of meticulous play across the score, while Isserlis, having consulted on new editions of this very

music, secured his ambassadorship a hundredfold.

In quieter moments, notes bled from one to the other, while the loudest illuminated their sync h r o n i c i t y.

Isserlis threaded the needle with his sustained bowing and, like a performer who can hold a note while dancing vigorously on stage, kept his tone in check even in wildest abandon. His playing was corporeal in this regard, full of twang and lilting nuance.

All the while, Levin’s musicological fecundity and artist’s touch held ground with assured wit at every turn.

From Beethoven’s first piece for this combination, his last, the Fifth Sonata, written in 1815 and broken into three concerto-like movements, showed a more restless soul at work. In performance the sonata drew from fire and shadow in equal measure. Isserlis dug deepest to bring the central Adagio to a state of tangibility, leaving us in exquisite suspense for a magnetic Allegro. Unlike the First Sonata, in which the instru-

ments felt at best like mirrors of one another, here they were vibrant actors. Such was the dynamic throughout the Third Sonata, completed in the same year as his Fifth Symphony. In contrast to the latter’s familiar staccato were the sonata’s dolorous beginnings, offset further by the finery of the joyous Scherzo and a soaring pulse in the finale.

Between these protein bombs, the duo served up the parfait of Beethoven’s 12 Variations on Mozart’s “Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen,” Op. 66. It was a delightful showcase of ingenuity by way of a drama no less operatic, and gave space for dust to settle after breaking down the chamber walls.

We, the Living: Absurdist Pigeon at Cornell Cinema A small village covered deep in snow sits in a valley by the side of a rocky mountain. In the back, people carrying ladders climb the roof of a house to reach its blazing chimney. At the center, on a frozen river, three kids skate in formation, others run with hockey sticks and a larger group is curling. A woman pulls another in a sledge and a third one is seen crossing a bridge with a bundle of sticks on her back. Closer to the left, a sign in a brick building hangs half unhinged. Below it, a group of adults tend to a fire while a kid watches. In the corner, on the forefront, we finally reach our subjects, three hunters and their dogs, back for the day, seemingly tired and with no game on their bags.

The painting, after all, is titled “Hunters in the Snow.”

But it’s not due to a lack of attention that our eyes are not immediately drawn to these men. Pieter Brueghel, the Elder, knew exactly how to hide his subjects in plain sight and use the extent of his canvas (or rather panel, since he painted mostly on wood) to cast as many characters and to tell as many stories as he could, showing a distinctive preference for peasants, their traditions and beliefs, but mostly their daily lives.

Another inconspicuous figure in that painting is that

of a bird, possibly a pigeon, laying quietly on a tree right in the middle of the scenery. That sight caught the attention of Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson, who named his latest movie A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on

of black humor evident not only in the deadpan performance of the actors but also the theatrical scenery and the pervading score. These set the tone for the following few dozen scenes, each one a single shot or tableau that together ends up constituting a panoramic view of the human condition.

Even though there isn’t a clear sequence of events, we do get a few recurring characters, and some situations show continuity and even resolution as we go back and forth between them. A couple of travelling salesmen serve as the lead for the drama, two sad clowns straight out of a Beckett play that could very well have been named Vladimir and Estragon. They don’t exactly wait for Godot, however, but travel around selling “funny” articles like vampire teeth and laughing bags, while living uneventful, miserable lives.

In a modern diner, meanwhile, the patrons are surprised by the arrival of 18th century Swedish king Charles XII, a young, feeble man riding a horse into the establishment with a group of aides on the way to a war with the Russians and who suddenly seems infatuated with the restaurant’s waiter.

On ClickHole Quizzes and Credibility

T

he Onion has been on the Internet for a long time — since 1996, actually. Before that, the famous fake news outlet began in print, but most of us within the demographic of 18-34 year olds only recognize it due to a significant online presence, featuring anything from satires of VICE magazine documentaries to articles with names like “Scientists Find Strong Link Between Male Virility, Wearing Mötley Crue Denim Jacket” and “Mom Leaks Out Another Divorce Detail During Drive to SAT Prep Class.”

Unsurprisingly, a model so successful is bound to have its spin-offs, Cornellrelated spin-offs included. And from the looks of it, the Onion does not show signs of slowing down. Its past few years as a company have been ones of expansion and growth, taking its momentum primarily, of course, from its flagship fake news website, but also from other clever concoctions such as ClickHole and StarWipe.

But what is it about the Onion that seems to make it so popular? Its tight connection with Internet culture seems to be one thing.

When your fake news outlet awards the 2014 Person of the Year award to both Malala and John Cena, I think it is safe to say the Internet has influenced your decision, because even an ironic nomination is still a way in which the joke ends up published out there, presented as information or truth. Certainly, in this way the Onion is a singular entity. Its ability

to adjust and articulate political standpoints, personal despair or the hypocrisy of everyday life prove it has its fingers on at least a couple important pulses. Or take the bizarre critiques and sophomoric surrealism of one of its more recent hits, ClickHole, for example. It is, of course, an obvious indictment of the mindless consumerist nightmare we know as clickbait, yet it also functions as a way of exposing the malleability of the truth and information fired point blank at us daily.

From ClickHole (and from the Onion), we see that a news and culture format we took for granted can be called into question via parody or reenactment. And if news and clickbait can be performed, and essentially gutted of all seriousness, it can be laid out bare in front of us. The ways in which we are subsumed by the culture-at-large can be exposed. A news headline can lie to you just like fiction can. In fact, a news headline is just another form of fiction, able to be appropriated for whatever political or social purpose at Appearances hand, only respected because its language and position presuppose authority and truth in our world. You can watch the formula applied to content farms and memes as well, showing that they too have slowly become another cultural commodity. They too are just another manifestation of someone trying to sell you something.

It seems like language also plays a

vital role with the Onion’s popularity.

The tone of a newspaper headline marks an intense compression of language into its role as a conveyor of truth. You cut the syntax down, as there is no need for complete sentences. You make sure the vocabulary is powerful and attentiongrabbing, usually at the risk of sensationalism. And while the linguistic nuances of Harry Potter quizzes and Buzzfeed articles turn out completely different from the economic prose of news outlets, the underlying premise — that the language of this information affects you just as much as the information itself — remains the same. These satires serve a key function. They render transparent the means by which language has control over us. And noticing these structures is the first step to considering them critically. I am not going to decry Internet culture, if there is or ever will be such a thing. Nor will I stand on a platform and morally bash the consumerism of everyone around

me, because I am involved in pithy celebrations of life just as much as the next guy. What I will say is that before believing something, before looking someone else in the eye and repeating your memories as if they were realizations you had come to naturally, understand how that message has been delivered to you, how it has been designed, thought out, crafted, revised. A satire which causes significant dissonance with the ways we digest and absorb content in our digital lives has a critically unique role in our culture. It gives us these questions, and it creates these doubts, and ultimately we are more conscious of our digital and physical selves, as well as of the world around us, because of it.

Drake,the Culture Vulture?

N

o one in music has had a bigger year Drake a culture vulture? neither I nor any of my woes was involved in so far than Canadian rapper Drake.

By now, we’ve all probably seen Drake’s any way in the making of the ‘Hotline Bling’ With two number-one albums this “Hotline Bling” music video. Everyone has video.” While it’s hilarious that the 72-yearyear alone and a third expected to drop in also seen the myriad of memes poking fun at old Turrell would quote one of Drake’s the coming months, Drake may very well be Drake’s corny dance moves. However, the songs, the question remains, is Drake a culhaving one of the most successful years in video itself featured a very clear influence ture vulture? music history. However, with success comes from artist James Turrell in its use of colored It’s clear Drake takes aspects of different criticism, which Drake is all too familiar light in a large, blank space. Drake has very cultures and uses them in a self-serving manopenly admitted to drawing inspiration ner. As a native Houstonian and an art hiswith.

Houston rapper Sauce Walka is one of from Turrell’s work. In 2014 after visiting tory major, a part of me is sort of uncomthe many rappers to be critical of Drake. Among other things, Sauce Walka claims that Drake appropriates By now, we’ve all probably seen Drake’s “Hotline Bling” different cultures’ music to benefit himself, and gives very little back to music video. Everyone has also seen the myriad of memes those individual musical cultures. For poking fun at Drake’s corny dance moves. However, the video Sauce Walka, this means Drake has appropriated Houston rap culture’s itself featured a very clear influence from artist James stylistic variety and lyrical nuance, Turrell in its use of colored light in a large, blank space. while only collaborating with mainstream Houston artists, such as Bun Turrell’s retrospective at the LACMA, the fortable with this idea. Then again, I’m not B, Travi$ Scott and Beyoncé.

With constant references to dirty sprite rapper posted several photos of himself totally sure what else to expect. In what way and the Underground Kingz, there’s no standing in Turrell’s installation, with the can Drake really benefit Houston rap or the denying Drake’s pervasive use of Houston caption “Turrell x OVO,” a reference to his art world? It seems he has done some good for both communities just by transferring culture. Drake even began Houston record label, October’s Very Own. Turrell didn’t seem to mind Drake draw- his own hype onto them.

Appreciation Week, a weeklong celebration If not for Drake, who would care about of all things associated with Houston rap. ing from his work and even put out a stateHowever, Drake came under fire for HAW’s ment in which he claimed, “While I am Houston rap anymore? The biggest names lack of representation from Houston rappers truly flattered to learn that Drake fucks with the Houston rap community boasts nowain the lineup. The question remains, is me, I nevertheless wish to make clear that days are probably Kirko Bangz and Z-Ro,

neither of whom are totally relevant outside of Houston circles anyway. Bun B hasn’t put out any heat since Pimp C passed and he seems just fine with Drake using Houston culture to his advantage.

The art world, probably at the peak of commerciality right now, is in a similar boat.

With a number of artistic collaborations with rappers, such as Kehinde Wiley and Santigold, the art world seems more open to cross cultural collaboration than ever before. Drake even curated a music playlist for an exhibition at Sotheby’s last year. It seems Turrell really didn’t care that Drake used some of his most introspective work as a dance background, so honestly, why should we?

It’s easy to hate Drake. The guy really can do no wrong. Even when people criticize him for his corny dance moves, bandwagon sports fandom and rumors of using a ghostwriter, Drake emerges unblemished and on top. Maybe we should all take a step back, put some Drake on shuffle, and softly whisper to ourselves, “What a time to be alive.”

David Roy grad | What’s Up, Doc?

Personalized Medicine in the Genomics Era “Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.”

— William Osler

M

edicine is frequently described as both art and science, a delicate balance of intrinsic and learned creativity accompanied by mechanistic understanding of pathology. The “art” encompasses the more subjective elements of doctoring, mainly the ability to understand the patient and their illness via the medical history. In contrast, the “science” is grounded in objective investigation, usually through research studies that make statistically valid conclusions about groups of individuals as a whole.

Due to the plethora of traits unique to each patient — both physical and psychosocial — the clinician is required to interpret the evidence-based guidelines and tailor their recommendation appropriately.

Recently, the new Omics era has forced an irreversible shift in favor of science, allowing the complete capture of individual biologic variation. Omics is a neologism that refers to the study of proteomics, metabolomics and genomics, the latter of which is now primed to transform medical practice.

The power of genomics as a medical modality is derived more from its comprehensiveness than true biological novelty. In fact, it was almost 200 years ago when Charles Darwin first proposed that heritable traits could be passed on to offspring — the underlying structure of this heritable DNA “code” was later characterized by Watson and Crick in 1953. Through advances in DNA sequencing and genetic engineering, many molecular determinants of disease were identified beginning in the 1970s, giving rise to personalized medicine via genetic testing.

The ability to identify disease-causing mutations forced drastic changes in medical decision-making. For example, genetic testing allows the identification of patients with degenerative disease (e.g. Huntington’s Disease), increased risk for cancer (e.g.

BRCA1 mutation in breast cancer) and those with high-risk pregnancies (e.g. cystic fibrosis), all before any signs of illness manifest.

This actionable information can lead to earlier screening, improved therapy and better outcomes.

The limitations of genetic testing were already apparent decades ago, however. In fact, many hallmark genetic mutations represented only the tip of the iceberg. For example, BRCA1-associated breast cancer comprises only 10 percent of all new cases and even these patients were noted to have considerable variation in outcomes.

Therefore, undiscovered genetic factors likely explained this clinical diversity.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of all 22,000 genes in the human genome were still uncharacterized by 1990. Without a catalogue of human genes and their role in disease, progress was predicted to slow or even plateau.

In order to jumpstart new discoveries into genetic underpinnings of disease, the Human Genome Project was formed.

This massive undertaking successfully sequenced and mapped every gene in the human genome by the year 2003.

These data quickly allowed researchers to identify new gene mutations and even design therapies to target specific mutant proteins.

As the puzzle pieces linking genetics to disease were being assembled, two significant challenges remained. First, with traditional genetic testing, only a single gene or small gene “panels” can be tested, due to cost and time limitations. Therefore, clinical suspicion is usually a prerequisite to genetic testing. Unfortunately, chasing genetic mutations in a patient — whether ill or healthy — is highly subjective, inefficient, and prone to missing key “driver(s)” of disease. Second, since most diseases likely result from multiple genetic alterations acting in concert, traditional approaches have been limited in deconstructing the combinatorial nature of genetic-driven illness. In the past 10 years, genomics has helped tackle these obstacles.

Genomics is a new field that aims to understand associations between disease and the genome (i.e. all of our genes), facilitated through innovation in both high-throughput biological platforms and computers. New

technologies such as next-generation whole exome/genome sequencing, DNA methylation chips and gene expression profiling allow the exhaustive characterization of all molecular features in individuals. Improved processing power and novel computational algorithms further facilitate the objective understanding of biological processes linked to disease.

For the first time ever, researchers and doctors can be presented with a comprehensive snapshot of the unique molecular features within a patient and make medical recommendations that are personalized and

upfront, and only those patients who benefit will be placed on this costly and occasionally toxic medication.

The unbiased, exhaustive power behind genomics cannot be overstated. The ability to find all molecular alterations in a patient can better characterize the illness both within and outside of the disease in question. In 2012, the New York Times profiled a cancer researcher that discovered a rare FLT3 alteration in his leukemia cells through next-generation sequencing, allowing the use of an anti-FLT3 drug already in use for kidney cancer.

Remarkably, genomics is not limited to the clinic or research lab. Perhaps most notable is 23andMe, a company that offers independent genomics-based testing for only $99. Their report can be used in conjunction with online tools to determine future risk of many diseases, a controversial subject since there is no medical counseling provided to interpret the findings. As an added bonus, the test also reports one’s relative ethnic heritage and distant relatives who have also paid for the service.

As with the advent of genetic testing, genomics represents only the beginning of a new era in medical innovation and patient-centric medicine. Advanced technologies continue to enter the market, including an exciting portable USB-based sequencing device dubbed the MinIONTM . Of course, clinicians will always be required to extract critical details of the patient’s medical history as well as other relevant non-physical details (e.g. social support networks, ability to pay, safety at home). Regardless, the value of genomics in enabling bona fide personalized medicine is indisputable. Treating the individual, not just the disease, is now more objective and better than ever.

For the first time ever, researchers and doctors can now be presented with a comprehensive snapshot of the unique molecular features within a patient and make medical recommendations that are personalized and unique. unique. For example, early stage breast cancer patients can now be tested via Oncotype DXTM, a tool which informs whether a patient is high-risk and requires chemotherapy. Across cancer, a new test called MSKIMPACTTM is being used to screen for specific gene mutations that are responsive to FDA-approved targeted therapies, such as small molecule inhibitors.

Genomics has even allowed us to exploit genetic alterations that are not even causative or linked to the disease itself. For example, immunotherapy has been recently used to stimulate the body’s immune system to eradicate cancer cells, which are generally perceived as non-self or “foreign.”

Unfortunately, many patients do not respond and eventually relapse. Exciting research in the past year has used next-generation DNA sequencing to identify mutations in otherwise benign genes that act as neoantigens, which are essential for immunotherapy’s effectiveness.

Now, response to this therapy can be predicted

“It’s a gamble on their part for sure,” Archer said about Princeton’s offense. “They can’t guarantee the look they’re going to get and so they could put out a certain formation, and we could, with a certain defense, stop the exact play they’re looking for. ...

But their philosophy is to run as many plays as they can, and they feel like if one of their plays doesn’t work, it’s alright, they’ll get you on the next one.”

On the offensive side of the ball, senior running back Luke Hagy has been practicing for the Red. Hagy, who left at the beginning of the Sacred Heart game two weeks ago due to a head injury, should benefit from an offensive line that really began to click last week against Brown. In Hagy’s absence, a platoon of running backs combined for 260 rushing yards.

“I saw a great performance,” Archer said when asked about the offensive line’s performance last week. “Zach Wilk, Dan Morin, Alex Emmanuels, John Foster and Dan Cunningham. I saw those guys really open up some holes. I

It’s another week for Cornell football and another matchup against a fast-paced offense. The Red has played four straight offenses that primarily play nohuddle, and each time, the team has given up at least 28 points.

With a matchup against Princeton looming, the defense gets yet another challenging, complicated offense to go up against.

“It’s definitely challenging going against a fast pace attack,” junior linebacker Jackson Webber said. “Your mind is racing, your body is getting tired. It comes down to just knowing your assignments and being able to focus for that five to seven seconds that a play is going to last.”

After last week’s comeback against Brown fell short, the Red (0-6, 0-3 Ivy) travels to Princeton (4-3, 1-2) still in search of its first win. Webber said the team has continued to try not to focus on the record.

“It’s frustrating, but we keep a positive mindset coming in everyday,” Webber said.

“All [we] can really “All [we] can really do is control do is control how how hard we work, and hopefully hard we work, and hopefully that transthat translates into victories.” lates to victories on Jackson Webber the field. We’re coming in with a good mindset every day, trying to get saw them blocking downfield. I saw them pancaking the Brown better and get things done.”

Princeton’s offense comes in kids. ... You’re starting to see them averaging over 30 points per game come together and what they can and has put up over 40 points per do and what coach Istvan has game three times this season, been doing with them, not only as including a 52-point outburst the offensive line coach but as the against Lehigh. With an offense offensive coordinator.”

Wilk, the senior right tackle, that occasionally will play multiple quarterbacks, Princeton can said the offensive line is the best force teams into uncharacteristic he’s played on since his freshman year when J.C. Tretter ’13, now errors.

“They try to create confusion with the Green Bay Packers, was with trick plays,” said head coach also on the line. As a senior, Wilk David Archer ’05. “They like to admits the losses are tough, but, be very creative, so it’s unique in with four games left, he remains the league — no one else is really hopeful that his senior class can like them so you got to make sure make a difference.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Cornell Goes on the Road To Take on Princeton Tigers Red looks to give Princeton first Ivy loss this season

By JACK KANTOR Sun Staff Writer

The pressure is on for Princeton. With a win this Saturday, Cornell women’s soccer can spoil Princeton’s chance to clinch the Ivy league title while tacking on another win to the already successful season for the Red. However, the Princeton Tigers (12-3, 50 Ivy) have not lost since Sept. 13 of this season and are on an absolute tear. The Tigers have won 10 straight matches, two of which were decided in overtime.

“All of that is in the past and didn’t have to do with us,” said head coach Patrick Farmer.

Princeton is a squad that can really score with its quick and intense attack, averaging a solid 2.67 goals per game this season.

“They are certainly a little more mobile. … We are more pass-oriented. [Princeton] is a little more penetration-oriented,” Farmer said.

Cornell is averaging just above one goal per match. Nonetheless, the Red is holding its opponents to under an astounding half a goal per game. The question this weekend will be if the team’s stout defense can hold off the Tiger’s dangerous attack, while hopefully punching in a goal or two.

History would say Princeton has the upper hand in this matchup; Cornell has only beat the Tigers seven times since they

starting playing back in 1982. However, the Red played the Tigers tough last year in a close 1-2 loss. This is a new year and a new team — for both sides. This matchup leans towards Princeton, but could go either way.

According to Farmer, the team has spent the first half of the week focusing on its own game. The Red is looking to keep up fast paced play while working on sustaining possession, preferably in the opponent’s half. Farmer said the team, “looked quick, lively and fast,” in the training session on Monday.

Princeton tends to take an approach that emphasizes possession less, but instead focuses on simply attacking with pressure and moving the ball around the field quickly. Farmer said he believes the team needs to “play faster, be a little more physical, be a little more proactive and creative in [oneon-one and two-on-two] situations.”

After a break on Wednesday, the team has focused on its play against Princeton, specifically.

“Princeton has two of the top three scorers in the league,” Farmer said. “We talked to [the players] about where those two play and how we will deal with that. We won’t change a lot, to be honest.”

Farmer said the Tigers are a different team than what Cornell faced last year.

“Princeton lost a very good senior attacker, but they added a great freshman attacker,” he said. “They a new coach; they

are a little bit different, a little bit more direct. … They are in the top five scoring teams in the country.”

The Ivy League leaders in both goals and assists are Princeton players Tyler Lussi and Lauren Lazo, respectively. While defense has been the Red’s strength this season, Cornell will need to be at the top of its game defensively to stay in the match.

The Red will not win this matchup by

outscoring the Tigers, but by keeping the goals down to a minimum. If Cornell can out-possess Princeton and keep the ball in the Tigers’ half, then the Red may be able to chalk in another win and spoil Princeton’s hopes of an Ivy League Championship.
