Statue of Cornell Founder A.D.White Defaced

By SUN STAFF

The statue of Andrew Dickson White, Cornell’s first president, on the Arts Quad was spray painted with the word “Divest” Saturday morning.

The image of what appeared to be a hammer and sickle — a symbol of the Communist movement — was also sprayed on top of the message.

Cleanup crews removed the paint at approximately 4 p.m.

Students criticized the defacement on the “Overheard at Cornell” Facebook group, with a post addressing the act after 12 p.m. Saturday.

CUPD Chief Kathy Zoner said Sunday that authorities are currently working to find the person or people responsible for the act.

“We have a few leads, but we’re always happy to listen to anyone from the community who might have more information,” Zoner said.

A movement for Cornell to divest from the fossil fuels industry returned to the spotlight this semester when students confronted members of the Board of Trustees about divestiture at a forum on Oct 21. Prof. David Shalloway, molecular biology and genetics, also urged the trustees to divest during a presentation to the Board Oct. 23.

C.U. Neurotech to Expand Ongoing Research New Institute Will Focus

By JEANETTE SI Sun Staff Writer

A multi-million dollar gift from the Mong Family Foundation will fund the creation of Cornell Neurotech, a program which seeks to develop a new technological platform to better measure and provide images of the activities of the brain at the cellular level in real time.

Stephen Mong ’92 MEN ’93 MBA ’02, the pri-

mary donor to Cornell Neurotech, said the initiative is meant to expedite and expand the currently ongoing neurological research in Cornell’s laboratories.

“We would be developing a technological platform to enable scientists, researchers and engineers in the future to study the human brain,” Mong said.

On Improving Health Care

By RYAN HUMPHREY Sun Staff Writer

An inaugural celebration will be held today for the Cornell Institute for Healthy Futures — a new institute formed by a collaboration between the College of Human Ecology and the School of Hotel Administration.

The institute, located in Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, will focus on improving aspects of the health care industry through a multidisciplinary approach.

New Book Details Ithaca Hosts First-Ever Wizarding Weekend Life at C.U. Post World War II

By TOM SCHREFFLER

Sun Staff Writer

By SAMANTHA ACRICHE Sun Staff Writer

Three years ago, John Marcham ’50 — a late journalist, editor and publisher from Ithaca — approached fellow journalist Brad Edmondson ’81 with an idea to create a book for the Cornell Class of 1950, celebrating its 65th reunion last June.

The book, entitled Postwar Cornell, is the result of a collaboration between Marcham, co-editor Marion Steinmann and Edmondson, who is also the President of The Sun. It tells the story of Cornell during the transformative period from 1944 to 1952, focusing on the impact of the G.I. Bill, the influx of female students and the major

“It was a very brief period when the veterans of World War II went to college, but it made permanent changes in these institutions.”

Brad Edmondson ’81 differences between student life then and now.

“Much would change in student life at the University in the immediate postwar years, and the catalyst was in large part the G.I. invasion,” Prof.

Isaac Kramnick, government, wrote in the foreword. “This would coincide with a profound transformation of the very soul of the place, as Presidents’ Day and Malott changed Cornell from a collegiate ‘halls of ivy’ training ground for educated gentlemen and ladies, schooled in ‘gracious living,’ to a world class ‘research university’ driven

by Big Science.”

In the book, Edmondson illustrates this crucial point in Cornell’s history through 67 first-person recollections of Cornell alumni, letters, articles and diary entries.

“The whole book is about this very unique cohort of men, mostly all men, who sort of just passed through college in just a few years from 1945 to 1952,” Edmondson said. “College students suddenly got a lot older. A lot of them had seen combat. They mostly had had three to four years of experience before they enrolled in college so they were not typical freshmen. It was a very brief period when the veterans of World War II went to college, but it made permanent changes in these institutions.”

The first edition of the book was published last June for the class’s reunion, just a few months after Marcham’s December 2014 death. But afterward, Edmondson said he wanted more people to read the book and experience the fascinating stories within it.

“Over the summer,” Edmondson said, “I went back through the material and took out some stuff that wouldn’t be of interest to people who were not in the class of 1950 and added some stuff about broadening the focus for a more general audience and published a second edition which is this.”

The research process for the book took about a year and half. Edmonson, with the guidance of his two editors, said he found individuals and numerous leads that would create a captivating and enriching story of the history during this time period.

“I interviewed about 67 people and I was asking them about things that had happened 65 or 70 years ago, so dates, names, the who, what, where, when was pretty fuzzy in these interviews,” Edmondson said. “I got these interviews that were emotionally great material but not really nailed down in terms of accuracy.”

Edmondson said he realized just how “compelling” the voices of these individuals were and decided at that point to let the words speak for themselves. However, he had to find primary sources in order to validate these stories.

On Saturday, thousands flooded the Commons and the streets of downtown Ithaca, wearing robes, wizard hats and other mystical garb in celebration of Wizarding Weekend — a family friendly, Harry Potter-themed convention.

Darlynne Overbaugh, the owner of Life’s So Sweet Chocolates, was the mastermind behind the event.

“It started out very simple, and the community made it become viral,” Overbaugh said. “We had about a week to put it together.”

She said that the idea to transform the collection of box shops off of Green Street in downtown Ithaca known as Press Bay Alley into Diagon Alley — the shopping center of the Harry Potter universe — came about on a whim.

“The story goes that there was a young man who works for Boxy Bikes, he and his brother were riding in a car, and he said, wouldn’t it be cool if Press Bay Alley became Diagon Alley?” she said.

Upon hearing this idea, Overbaugh said she decided she could help organize the event. She posted the first message to Facebook about Wizarding Weekend on Oct. 20, and it immediately garnered likes and recognition from the community.

“When you’re putting together an event of this size, there are a lot of logistics,” she said.

CUPD Arrests Newfield Resident on Lewdness Charges

By MADELINE COHEN Sun Assistant News Editor

Following an investigation, the Cornell University

Police Department arrested Newfield resident Floyd G. Slater Jr. on public lewdness charges Thursday.

Slater, a 23-year-old reg-

istered sex offender, was arrested due to his alleged connection to three lewd incidents near the Veterinary College.

Campus safety | Cornell Police arrested a man allegedly connected to three October incidents of public lewdness near Cornell’s Veterinary College.

On Oct. 20, a woman noticed a man sitting in a vehicle and masturbating while she was parking her car. On Oct. 27, CUPD received two reports of a man in a vehicle “yelling lewd comments and making lewd gestures toward the victims, both females.”

Slater has been arraigned in the Town of Ithaca court on a class A misdemeanor for Public Lewdness. He was then remanded to the Tompkins County Jail on $2,500 bail or a $5,000 bond for a future court appearance.

Additional charges are pending.

Slater is neither a student or employee of Cornell and has no affiliation with the University.

“We’re holding a unique event because we’re a unique community,” she said, acknowledging that other cities have had events like Wizarding Weekend.

An organ player played eerie music to set the mood as people walked around. Press Bay Alley merchants sold Quidditch shirts and Harry Potter-themed scented candles. The Finger Lakes Meat Project, a project that tries to provide affordable access to meat, held a Magical Creatures Exhibition that invited people to take pictures with “a rare American Graphorn.” Gringot’s Bank also offered people a “prosperity enchantment” of 25 percent on any bank account they opened with them.

working towards studying the brain [within the University].

Now, we’re developing the tools to allow that to be more efficiently and effectively done.”

Cornell Neurotech will be a collaborative project primarily between the Colleges of Engineering and Arts and Sciences. Arts and sciences Dean Gretchen Ritter said she believes Cornell’s unique interdisciplinary environment will be beneficial for the growth of neurotechnology.

“Cornell’s strength in neurotechnology lies in the interdisciplinary interactions and effective collaborations across multiple disciplines,” she said.

“Cornell Neurotech will support strategic investments in new and innovative interdisciplinary areas within the College of Arts and Sciences and across the University.”

Currently, there are two codirectors heading Cornell Neurotech: Prof. Chris Xu, applied and engineering physics, and Prof. Joseph Fetcho, neurobiology and behavior. Xu said the engineering school’s strong background in neurological technology will synergize well with the neuroscience research currently being conducted in the College of Arts and Sciences.

“Cornell Engineering is one of the main drivers for the technology development [in] neuroscience, and has a strong track record of developing breakthrough technologies for neuroscience research,” Xu said.

“Cornell Neurotech will facilitate and enhance the inter-college collaboration between Art and Sciences and Engineering, and we hope [to] eventually grow beyond those colleges.”

Xu added that understanding

the brain is one of science’s current frontiers, and that application-wise, Cornell Neurotech may open up new avenues for the diagnosis and cure of many common mental illnesses.

“Everything we do is governed by our brain, but we have so far very limited knowledge about how the brain works, and we know very little about the cause of neurological diseases such as depression, autism, dementia, et cetera,” Xu said.

“We are developing technologies to measure and study how the brain functions at the cellular and molecular level. It is widely accepted that neurotechnology development is essential to push our understanding of the brain to the next level.”

Mong said he has high hopes for the program and believes that Cornell’s friendly attitude towards collaboration can push the field of neurotechnology to new heights.

“Our family foundation has always believed that education [and] health [are] each individual’s [most precious] assets, so we’ve always been looking for opportunities to give in those areas,” he said. “I’ve [also] been looking for an opportunity to support Cornell that would pull together the various resources across campus, and [Cornell Neurotech] fits the bill.”

Currently, Cornell Neurotech is working on an inter-college forum where faculty members can share ideas about possible advancements in neurotechnology with each other. The foundation’s gift also will be used to launch the Cornell Neurotech Mong Family Foundation Seminar Series, which will invite top researchers in the field to the Hill to share their work.

As a part of its plan to support educational programs, the institute plans to develop “across-college dual degree program options,” along with “concentrations, minors and other programs” related to the multidisciplinary field.

Today’s inauguration celebration will “include panels on integrating hospitality principles with health care operations, and enhancing health and wellness facility design,” according to the University.

U.S. District Judge Valerie Silver has steadfastly professed his innocence since his arrest in January, insisting federal prosecutors misinterpreted the law, turning innocent actions such as pursuing private employment into crimes.

“At bottom, what the government objects to in this case is not actual federal crimes but rather longstanding features of New York state government that the U.S. attorney finds distasteful,” Silver’s lawyers wrote in court papers.

Prosecutors, though, argue it is criminal for politicians to get rich working side jobs with those who can benefit from laws written in the state Capitol. They say Silver seems to be planning a smoke-and-mirrors defense aimed at leaving jurors confused about what’s right and wrong.

In one recent filing, prosecutors said Silver plans to elicit testimony from witnesses about state anti-bribery laws and state ethics rules, creating a sideshow or “mini-trial” to “confuse the issues, mislead the jury, and unnecessarily prolong what already promises to be a lengthy, multi-week trial.”

The case against Silver, who stepped down from his speaker post after his arrest, focuses on outside employment. Multiple counts of honest services fraud

At a news conference after Silver's arrest, Bharara said “it seems sometimes that Albany really is a cauldron of corruption.”

Then the next day, in a speech before a law school audience that was laced with humor, Bharara derided the state’s reputation for making deals with just the Assembly speaker, the Senate president and the governor, the so-called “three men in a room.”

Several months later, Bharara charged Dean Skelos, New York’s then-Senate leader, with extortion and soliciting bribes, claiming that the state's most powerful Republican official used his position to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars for his son, who was also charged.

Skelos, 67, has said he and his son will be found innocent. They go to trial this month as well.

On Vandalism THIS WEEKEND, THE WORD “DIVEST” was spraypainted on the statue of Cornell’s first president and co-founder, Andrew Dickson White. Although police are investigating the defacement of the Arts Quad statue, no information is known as to who committed the offense or at what time the vandalism took place between Friday and Saturday. Nonetheless, the act serves as a blow to the fossil fuel divestment movement and potentially damages future opportunities for dialogue between students, trustees and administrators.

Although the divestiture movement has been a longstanding point of controversy and conversation on the Cornell campus, it has returned to the spotlight over the last few weeks. Students confronted members of the Board of Trustees about divesting during a forum on Oct. 21, and Prof. David Shalloway, molecular biology and physics, represented the five shared governance groups that voted in favor of divestment. The progress made by the group of Cornellians in bringing the issue of divestiture to decision-makers on campus has been significant since the movement began in spring 2013 when the Student Assembly demanded divestment from the fossil fuels industry.

Still, we are disappointed in the individual or group of individuals who undermined the movement’s advances and meaningful discussions with administrators and trustees.

Though we understand the historical context behind this action — where activists have scrawled messages on the statues of the University’s founders to grab the attention of the campus community — we also believe that doing so is ineffective and may serve to hinder future communication or progress between these groups. Publically vandalizing a campus monument fails to encourage any dialogue about how to address issues facing our campus.

OPINION

Amiri Banks | Honest A.B.

Scientists —The Good,the Bad and the Ugly T

here is such thing as ugly science. You know, the kind that leads to media sensationalizing, fear-mongering by the ignorant and the miseducation of the masses (look up the “scientific” root of the anti-vaccine movement for one infamous example). I’m already sick of talking about ugly science, which doesn’t deserve more than a few sentences condemning the stuff to hell for its negative effect on the STEM community.

Bad scientists, on the other hand, do exist. They may not be bad people, but money, political corruption or the pressure to publish often leads them to bad decisions. They often produce illadvised conclusions that, technically, could be drawn. For evidence, look no further than the legions of diligent pro-fracking scientists lurking on corporate payrolls. More often than you’d think, anti-science escapes peer-review unscathed and becomes published.

Once that happens, there’s no stopping companies, government leaders and other non-STEM folk from using the research to peddle a particular narrative. Yet it’s not even the ugly or bad scientists that worry me the most.

I’m most concerned about the good scientists, for whom I have a tremendous amount of love and respect. These passionate souls fling wit and innovation back and forth in lab meetings, engaging in the most heated of debates on the merits of one technique or theory

of research. Fast forward to this over another.

hope to slough off the debilitating untrustworthiness that some have unceremoniously draped over them.

Scientists have a knack for thinking critically about the work of their peers and pointing out areas for improvement. In the world of good science, this skill proves invaluable. Yet academics also have a tendency to apply this same line of thinking to their interactions with those outside that world. For this reason, the general public continues to perceive academics as pretentious, cold and esoteric.

This exclusivity presents the most salient danger of all: the danger of believing that not doing science and understanding science are mutually exclusive, or that one who does not engage in scientific research cannot understand that research.

Consider the renowned astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson and famed science communicator Bill Nye ’77. Neither of them are biologists. Neither of them have conducted research in evolution. Yet they have both publicly defended the overwhelming evidence supporting evolution because they have the capacity to read, interpret and articulate the findings of others. No one challenges their credibility or questions their resolve

when it comes to the importance of spreading awareness. Imagine the world we’d live in if the only people allowed to explain the perils of anti-vacciners’ beliefs were people with doctorates in immunology or disease.

At the core of everything that occurs in this world, science prevails. Regardless of whether or not we have the explanation already, we as a species have the latent potential. When people contribute their energy, hearts and — quite frankly — dollars, society can discover and create wonders.

We can also use this latent potential to avoid the destruction and disaster that results from a reckless abuse of our intellectual capital.

But none of this is possible without people to communicate. No change takes place without a middle woman or man to serve as the bridge. And a bridge is only as good as its connection to both sides of a stream.

Granted, times will always arise when science communicators cannot fully grasp the work of a researcher from simply looking over a paper. During these times, it is the responsibility of those who seek understanding to reach out to the scientists, humble themselves and learn all of the details. I wonder though: If and when they do so, how will the scientists respond?

wake up and before I even get out of bed, there is a degrading voice in my head calling me names. How discouraging is that? I have no explanation for why this is happening so early in the morning. In most cases, it bodes ill for my writing. I can’t count on anything positive happening once such negativity has been introduced to my thought process. I don’t know what brings it on, and I don’t really know how to make it go away. Maybe exposing it publicly, by writing about it will have some constructive effect.

The origin of this unsettling phenomenon remains a mystery. There are medications to treat it, of which I am currently taking three, but why it pops up when it does defies explanation. The patterns change and shift. The rules are not consistent. A period of time that seems safest one month may, by the next, be fraught with uncertainty, even danger. Medical authorities take this degrading voice seriously, as do I. The consensus seems to be that you can’t just ignore it — that some form of response is warranted. When I told my psychotherapist that I had been standing by the swimming pool at the local YMHA, while a voice was telling me to submerge myself and drown, he did not take it lightly.

Still, there are clearly ways of dealing with my mental illness. Take this morning for example. I wake up thinking the darkness has clearly taken the upper hand, and here I am twenty minutes later,

gainfully employed, feeling quite clear and collected. All I did, really, was carry on. I made my breakfast, and sat down to write. Go figure.

I’ve come up with a million different theories about that angry voice. None of them are really any good. The reality is

I wake up and before I even get out of bed, there is a degrading voice in my head calling me names ... I can’t count on anything positive happening once such a negativity has been introduced to my thought process. I don’t know what brings it on, and I don’t really know how to make it go away. that it is, in some way, an outgrowth of the spirituality I have so sought after by working The Twelve Steps. That lifesaving program that has helped so many alcoholics and addicts was never intended for me, yet has helped me enormously.

My chemical imbalances were all generated internally. I have been able, however, with the assistance of a capable doctor, to adapt the Twelve Step philosophy to relieve the symptoms of severe obsessive compulsive disorder. I don’t like to acknowledge that this wonderful way of life has had a significant down side, but it seems to be true. Without the Steps, no psychotic episode. Without the episode, no ugly degrading voices.

I have posed this disconcerting

me there, to say nothing of the truck load of anti-psychotic medications I have taken since, and the fearful apparitions and voices, I have come out ahead. They both agree.

The treatment I’ve undergone has been successful, one might contend, because it has conferred upon me a capacity to move spontaneously through my day. I can now manage the minor decisions that would once have stymied me completely — like the decision of which brand of granola to buy in the supermarket, or whether to buy two or three bottles of blueberry jam. It is not an overstatement to say that these kinds of choices once turned the grocery store into a house of horrors. Now I just kind of Zen

past them, kind of on autopilot. I sit in the driver’s seat and the plane makes it to its destination without a mishap. But there is ever so much more. There are feelings of joy and contentment. There is a growing resolve that whatever I have lived through has been well worth the effort, as it has empowered me to be of assistance to others. There are those special times when I can get on my knees, ask my Higher Power for assistance and know that it has been granted. There is every morning when I awaken and ask to know my Higher Power’s will for me for that day. And, I suppose, right up there at the top of the list, there is this strange ability I seem to have acquired of stringing coherent words and sentences together on a computer screen.

So when the trained medical personal contend that in the grand equation, the enormous blessings that have been conferred upon me far outweigh the psychotic symptoms, I simply have to agree with them. The psychotic stuff can be controlled with medication, and who knows, maybe over time I will find a way to dispense with it entirely. In the meantime, I am a writer — which is no small thing.

And if my writing can help alleviate the stigma normally associated with open discussion of mental illness that is no small thing either.

Cornell Takes Hollywood

MARK DISTEFANO Sun Staff Writer

The Sun spoke with Cornell, and Cornell in Hollywood alumna, Casey Minella ‘14: now an executive assistant at Gaia Entertainment. Cornell in Hollywood is a PMA program that places students in Hollywood internships in the film and entertainment industries.

T HE S UN : What was your experience in Cornell in Hollywood? Who was your mentor, where did you live, where did you intern, did you have a car?

C ASEY M INELLA : Cornell in Hollywood was a wonderful gateway into the entertainment world. I was studying Television Studies as an independent major and was lucky enough to work for Josh Greenbaum (director/writer) and Trevor White (director/producer) where I learned a lot about the industry. While I did not have a lot of practical knowledge going in, working in development helped me hone my skills of storytelling and open me up to the many different jobs. I was happy to learn there are quite a few options that I am still exploring.

My mentor was Yelena Chak of the drama department at CBS. She was a great resource to learn not only about the industry from a network perspective, but also to get thoughts on graduate school and advice on how to best navigate my career path. The mentor program allows students a great opportunity to have an ally and an additional support system for the summer, as well as in the future should you need any advice.

I lived in Koreatown with a few roommates… and could not have been happier. During the summer I had access to a car. It would have been a lot harder without one but definitely doable ... Make sure that if you are accepted to an internship you look into what

is possible for you before making your decision on the area you live in because it can make all the difference.

SIDE NOTE: I would recommend to any who have the option to do so, to drive across the country.

Having done it twice now, it's absolutely an essential adventure.

Everyone here has been in your shoes at some point, and you will be surprised to find how many are willing to give you advice, and sometimes even [help you] get your foot in the door (though never presume this will be the end result of someone you are connected with).

S UN : What were some of the challenges and highlights of your internships?

S UN : What is your advice to any incoming students regarding the CiH program? Why should they do it and how can they best utilize it?

C.M.: A few challenges during my internship were learning to set priorities. Sometimes you will be given tasks without a specific timeline. I learned to work as quickly and as diligently as I could and then ask for more. Even if they don't have your next project, they will appreciate your follow up and eagerness and will trust you with more moving forward. It's important to realize that starting on the bottom might be tough, but if you stick with it without complaint and a positive attitude, the payoff is real. One of the highlights of my internship was being able to see the editing process and give input on a television show in postproduction. Then seeing the final product a few months later gave me a truly unmatched feeling of appreciation and accomplishment for my boss that I hope to feel about my future work.

S UN : How do you feel your CiH experience prepared you or acted as an important building block for your career?

C.M.: My experience at CiH was an important building block because it taught me incredibly important but basic tasks, such as script coverage, that are a given in almost any TV or film company. It especially prepared me for what to look for in a position and what specific companies to seek out. It was really a comfort to be able to come to Los Angeles straight after college with a great local support system already in place to help navigate this crazy town.

C.M.: Cornell in Hollywood is a great opportunity to explore different parts of the industry. You will be exposed to a plethora of people, jobs and events.

Take advantage of it. You are surrounded by not only accomplished people who can give you great insight, but also your peers who you will grow with and rely on throughout your career. You can learn a lot from them if you put in the effort. If you are interested in any facet of entertainment I would recommend thoroughly exploring the different areas of the industry to zone in on the one or two skills you truly feel passionate about or want to expand upon. Then learn more about, and research the companies that fit your goals.

Don't be afraid to branch out of your comfort zone; but please, make sure you know what you are getting yourself into and research (let's all say it together now: RESEARCH). You have a brief period of time to comfortably shop around and see what fits you best. You may learn that you don't love Los Angeles, but these are the connections you make for a lifetime. People you meet can lead to opportunities in many different places. CiH gives you the hands on experience that put your studies to work, and put you in a room that gives you the opportunity to make the next step towards in shaping your end-goal. Make it count.

I Hope I Get It: The Accessibility of Broadway

A

t the beginning of the 65th Tony Awards ceremony, Neil Patrick Harris sang “Broadway has never been broader, it’s not just for gays anymore!” and a wave of heterosexuals suddenly flooded Manhattan, from 40th all the way up to 54th.

It was a lovely little song for “those who’ve never seen theatre before,” but who have somehow found themselves spending a Sunday evening watching the most niche awards show on broadcast television, next to the CMAs; A signal of inclusivity to come for one of the most exclusive spheres of the arts. Of course, straight folks never really need to worry about being included in anything, anyway. Broadway has never had an issue with sexual orientation to begin with, save the relative invisibility of lesbian women on and off stage (which warrants a future column at some point). No, the real divide between theatregoers and non-theatregoers has always been one of status and class.

Ask any theatre lover why they don’t see as many shows as they’d like and you’re bound to hear the same answer: It’s damn expensive. As I wrote in a column from last March, “According to the Broadway League, 80 percent of Broadway theatregoers are Caucasian, with an average age of 44 years old and an average household income of $200,000; otherwise known as old, rich white people.” Tickets to some of Broadway’s hottest shows are status symbols as much as, you know, actual tickets.

A day-of orchestra seat at Hamilton can run you anywhere from $400 to $1,400 and beyond. When Ben Brantley of the

New York Times said, “I am loathe to tell people to mortgage their houses and lease their children to acquire tickets … but Hamilton … might just be about worth it,” he had no way of knowing that a ticket would literally cost more than the average mortgage payment/market price of a child.

While the mere notion of someone spending a month’s rent on a Broadway ticket is enough to make me throw up in my mouth, all is not awful in the theatre world. This past week, the Rockefeller Foundation and the producers of Hamilton announced their plans to make entire matinees available to low-income students in the New York City area.

Tickets will be reduced to $70 each, but the Foundation will contribute $60 per student, so students will only need a #Ham4Ham — Alexander Hamilton was the Ten-Dollar Founding Father, after all.

These kids have probably never seen a

The other huge piece of Broadway

COURTESY OF BILLBOARD

news this past week was the introduction of BroadwayHD, a new Netflix-esque streaming service for Broadway plays and musicals available for a monthly subscription fee. The website currently has a meager collection — mostly Shakespeare and a few musicals, like Memphis and Jekyll & Hyde, to start — but promises to grow as more producers commit to bringing the art to your laptop. In the past, one of the only ways to view recordings of old shows was to go to the New York Public Library Theatre on Film Archive and claim to be doing research of some kind. If you lived in Alaska, you were up the creek if you ever dreamed of seeing a Broadway show, regardless of your income. The exclusivity of these recordings was baffling to begin with. As if video of the original production of Fiddler on the Roof is going to hurt the upcoming revival, or any other currently playing shows, for that matter. If it suc-

ceeds, BroadwayHD has the potential to democratize the medium and open it up for new generations of fans around the world. Where’s the downside in that?

Musical theatre has long been called one of the only true American arts, but most Americans have never even had a chance to see a Broadway show. Beauty and art flourish when they are widely available for everyone to admire, not when they are locked away in vaults or behind premium price walls. I believe we are witnessing the rebirth of an art form, from marginalization and inaccessibility to availability and inclusivity, regardless of class. What a time to be alive.

Not just for gays — or rich whites — anymore.

The offense had a tough break when sophomore quarterback Jake Jatis’ pass bounced off the hands of wide receiver Chris Lenz and Princeton came away with it later in the first quarter. The Tigers marched down the field following the take-away and got on the board first with a 8-yard touchdown pass from Princeton quarterback Chad Kanoff.

Cornell failed to capitalize in Princeton territory again in the second quarter, turning the ball over on downs after the offense couldn’t convert a fourth-and-6 at the Tigers’ 24-yard line. Princeton got the ball back and, thanks to two long plays, quickly and efficiently worked its way down the field. Lovett ran in for a touchdown, putting the Tigers up by 14.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The biggest football game in Temple history was on the verge of turning into the Owls’ greatest victory. DeShone Kizer refused to let Temple make history at Notre Dame’s expense.

Kizer hit Will Fuller with a 17yard touchdown pass with 2:09 left in the game, KeiVarae Russell picked off a pass to end the last threat and No. 9 Notre Dame escaped with a 24-20 victory over No. 21 Temple on Saturday night.

It was the third time this season Kizer has led Notre Dame (71) from behind in the fourth quarter, first against Virginia in

his memorable debut and then against Southern California.

“It all comes with experience.

When you go out there and you do it once or twice, that’s how it’s going to end up being,” said Kizer, the redshirt freshman who took over for the injured Malik Zaire at Virginia. “We know how to go about a fourth-quarter comeback now.”

The Owls (7-1) took a 20-17 lead with 4:45 left on a 36-yard field goal by Austin Jones. But Kizer came right back with a long scoring drive, capped by the TD to his star receiver who hails from Philadelphia to make it 24-20.

“They were crowding me and DeShone just threw a perfect ball,” said Fuller, who went to Roman Catholic High School.

Then the Notre Dame defense stepped up. Temple’s P.J. Walker went deep down the right side, but Russell cut underneath the throw and made a diving pick.

Not until the very last play, when Kizer dropped the ball, picked it up and then threw it away to kill the clock, did the Irish get to celebrate.

Kizer finished with 299 yards passing and a 79-yard touchdown run.

“He got the game ball,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.

The Fighting Irish had chances to distance themselves from the Owls, but four red-zone trips produced only 10 points in the first three quarters against a defense that ranked eighth in the country.

“I knew that those were probably going to put us in a position where it would be a dog fight in the second half,” Kelly said.

The Owls entered the fourth quarter down seven. All they could have wanted. After a targeting penalty in the end zone by Notre Dame’s Elijah Shumate gave Temple a new set of downs, the Owls got it down to the 1 on fourth down. Coach Matt Rhule decided to go for it and Jahad Thomas made a crisp cut to turn the corner and tie the game at 17 with 10:51 left.

offensively for Cornell. That is no surprise for Schafer.

“One of the things is that Anthony Angello could’ve come in last year and so could’ve Mitch Vanderlaan,” Schafer said. “They made conscious decisions about when they wanted to come in college hockey, they wanted to make an impact. They didn’t want to just get here.

Both of those guys did a good job. Beau Starrett did a good job coming into the game tonight as a freshman and had a great 2-on-1 there in the third period.

Those guys and Alec McCrea and some guys that are energy boosters.”

The Red dominated both sides of the ice in the first period, creating a significant number of shots while keeping the Purple Eagles away from their net.

Cornell outshot Niagara 18 to 4 while winning 16-of-23 faceoffs. The Purple Eagles struggled to clear pucks around their net, giving Cornell a lot of secondchance shots on Niagara goalie Guillaume Therien. But what really stood out for the Red was how the first line shot pucks on pucks on pucks at the net like a machine gun.

“We’ve been gelling really well starting in practice,” Angello said. “We come in and we’re always on the same page and we know where each other are on the ice and I think that helps us, not only in the games, but as a team as a whole because it provide camaraderie and that will provide us with success. I feel that the closest team is going to go the farthest, not only between us three, but between the whole team.”

Vanderlaan stood out in the first period, scoring the first Cornell goal off a rebound and creating Kubiak’s goal, putting the puck near the senior center’s stick and creating the tip-in goal. For Vanderlaan, adding additional strength and size to his frame took place as his foremost reason behind his decision to delay his time enrolling at Cornell.

“I had to get a lot bigger, a lot stronger,” Vanderlaan said. “I didn’t think I was quite ready to jump in with

the physicality. Another year in juniors for me was something that could really benefit me because I didn’t think I was ready to jump in with the physicality of it, so I thought another year of juniors for me was something that could really benefit me, so I took it. It’s something I’m glad I did.”

Coming into Cornell, size was not the issue for Angello; rather, the forward wanted to improve his all-around play in order to maximize the potential impact he could have for the Red once he got to the hill.

“Taking another year in juniors as a way to increase my all-around game, whether it’s my offensive skills or defensive skills, getting bigger and stronger,” Angello said. “I feel for me that was the right play. I wasn’t ready to come in and have a dominant impact in college hockey last year. For me, it was about getting

It’s a ticularly strong on Saturday, lit the lamp work in progress,” Schafer said. “We changed a with a tip-in goal from Jeff “We each bring our unique skill and bunch of guys on the power Kubiak on a different talents.

So while Schafer said that the team Thieren left with an injury. expects to see the lines alignments to be fluid as the Red continue on into the season, the group will continue to need to see the freshman bring their A-game in order to contribute on the offensive end.

Over the first weekend of the season, the Red score seven goals, a mark that took Cornell three weekends and eight games to hit last year. And for the first line of Kubiak, Angello and Vanderlaan, the trio’s drastic differences in skill set could ultimately prove to be why the line could make a mark as one of the team’s strongest offensive units.

“We each bring our unique skill and different talents, but to make things work and to bring production, we need to gel together and communication between the three of us, we come back to the bench and we make sure each other knows what we could’ve done better that shift and it’s worked with our chemistry,” Kubiak said. “Anthony said it starts in practice and you’ll have to gel different skills to make a good line. So far, all three of our lines have done in the first two games and guys are finding chemistry and that’s what it’s all about.”

ow the extent of my exposure to the rugby is personally only viewing one game, and watching Ross get completely beat up trying to play it on Friends.

What I do know is that it’s like football except you throw backwards (because that makes sense), and the guys are super buff and don’t wear any pads when they play (which makes football players look weak). There are also these fun lift things they do where they basically build pyramids so a guy can get high enough to catch the ball.

Tigers Extend Cornell’s Losing Streak

By ADAM BRONFIN Sun Assistant Sports Editor

There’s something about this Cornell football team that whenever the Red does something well, the team follows it up with a mistake. Against Princeton today, that was abundantly clear. If Cornell were to put together a strong offensive possession, the team would slow to a halt deep in Princeton’s territory, and come away scoreless. If the defense were to make two strong pass break-ups, the Red would miss tackles and allow a long run for a first down.

The Red (0-7, 0-4 Ivy) leaves Princeton (5-2, 2-2) still without a win.

The Tigers never trailed and won 47-21.

Princeton put up 452 yards of offense led by do-it-all quarterback John Lovett, who finished with 92 rushing yards, two touchdowns and countless broken tackles.

“It kind of mimicked our season where you’d see a ton of incredibly good things and then some really bad things,” said head coach David Archer ’05. “The first part of the game we couldn’t finish, we weren’t able to come away with points from our field goal unit and we weren’t able to come away with points from our offense. It’s like a microcosm of the season.”

Senior running back Luke Hagy returned to the Red after sustaining a concussion two weeks ago against

Sacred Heart, and the offensive captain made an impact, rushing for 128 yards, accumulating 41 receiving yards and scoring a touchdown.

“It was awesome to be back,” Hagy said, “It was hard to be on the sidelines, watching everybody work so hard when I’m not being able to do anything.”

Junior quarterback Robert Somborn finished with 279 yards and two touchdowns, and Cornell as a whole compiled 444 yards of offense. But it wasn’t enough to hang with Princeton.

Cornell’s defense came out strong in

the first half, forcing three straight three-and-outs to begin the game. The offense was similarly clicking, that is until Cornell made it deep until Princeton territory. On the Red’s first three possessions, Cornell made it within the Tigers’ 25-yard line. Yet the team couldn’t come up with any points, missing two field goals and failing to convert a fourth down.

“I thought we came out and the offense was on a roll,” Hagy said. “We See FOOTBALL page 15
