Cornell Community Debates Merits of Trigger Warnings

By STEPHANIE YAN Sun Staff Writer

On Sept. 11, 2014, Hannah Dancy’s ’17 chemistry professor demonstrated the chemical reaction that occurred in explosions during the 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers. Dancy, who is from Manhattan, said she felt uncomfortable with the in-class demonstration and said she thought “people in that room who might have lost someone” might have felt even worse.

“My mom and dad watched the towers fall,” she said. “My mom still has really bad [posttraumatic stress disorder] from it.

I was like, ‘I didn’t want to see that.’”

Before Dancy’s professor showed a slide about the demonstration, she said he had not warned students that they were about to see potentially upsetting material. This type of notification — commonly referred to as a trigger warning — lets students know in advance about topics

that could cause negative emotional reactions. The warning allows students to prepare themselves mentally or excuse themselves from discussing a triggering topic.

Garnering National Headlines

Trigger warnings have garnered significant media attention lately, with many articles focusing specifically on the role these warnings should play in higher education.

An article published in The Atlantic in September argued that protecting students from upsetting material “prepares them poorly for professional life, which often demands intellectual engagement with people and ideas one might find uncongenial or wrong.”

Allowing students to see triggering material in classes without a warning could also act as exposure therapy — a process used to treat anxiety disorders by exposSee TRIGGER WARNING page 4

College of Engineering Rebrands Kimball Hall Research Laboratory

Nanotechnology center is now open for public use

By PHOEBE KELLER Sun Assistant News Editor

The College of Engineering recently rebranded a Kimball Hall research lab, which is now open to the public for the first time.

The opening of the lab, now known as Cornell’s Center for Nanomaterials Engineering and Technology, follows the expiration of a grant

from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, which created Cornell’s Center for Energy and Sustainability in 2008. After the partnership between the two universities ended, the College of Engineering decided to reappropriate the remaining lab equipment due to continuing interest in nanomaterial research.

S.A. Petitions for City Meeting On Cornell Campus

O’Reilly Airs Second Segment on Cornell

By MADELINE COHEN Sun Assistant News Editor

The Student Assembly launched an online petition Monday asking students to support a proposal requesting that a City of Ithaca Common Council meeting be held on Cornell’s campus.

Believing that a Common Council meeting on campus would be beneficial to the Cornell community, the S.A.’s Civil and Local Affairs Committee started the petition because “students make a up a distinct class of constituents that are often undereducated and underrepresented in regards to the City’s policy,” according to the petition.

“What you do not see is direct engagement with local politics and policies,” said Millicent Kastenbaum ’16, chair of the committee. “I want to change this because local government and the decisions that it makes do impact

students.”

Kastenbaum intends to bring the petition to a city administration meeting on Nov. 18. If greeted with positive feedback, she said she hopes to have the Common Council address campus next semester in the Willard Straight Hall Memorial room.

Since its launch Monday, the petition received over 50 signatures out of the

400 the committee aims to garner, according to Kastenbaum.

The idea originated from Zach Praiss ’16, who said he conceived of the idea because he believed having a Common Council meeting on campus “would be an amazing opportunity to everyone involved.”

Fox News aired a second segment regarding Cornell’s “liberal bias” on The O’Reilly Factor Monday evening.

Last week, the program aired a piece on a Sun report that found 96 percent of faculty members who made political donations donated to liberal campaigns over the last four years. During the piece, Cornell officials were seen asking reporter Jesse Watters to stop interviewing students on campus.

Monday’s segment highlighted a Sun editorial, which criticized the University for its decision to ask Fox News to leave.

“The University’s response to the piece was far more embarrassing than reporter Jesse Watters’ shoddy journalism techniques,” Wednesday’s editorial read.

Bill O’Reilly then played a clip with more student and administrator interviews. In response to being described as a “shoddy journalist” by The Sun, Watters joked that he learned the techniques from O’Reilly.

“I didn’t embarrass the students,” Watters said. “They did that themselves.”

Local EPA Includes Tompkins County As Member Of Green Alliance The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognized Tompkins County as a member of its Green Power Partnership — a program that supports organizations using renewable energy — according to The Ithaca Journal. The county reduces its use of conventional electricity by producing 84,000 kilowatt hours per year of electricity with solar panels and buying wind power energy credits, the article said.

University Cornell Receives Collection of Velvet Underground Items The Cornell University Libraries has received 25 boxes of items relating to the Velvet Underground — a mid-twentieth-century rock band that was relatively unsuccessful commercially in its lifetime but is now recognized as one of the greatest in the history of its genre, according to the University.

The documents were donated by collector Johan Kugelberg and form the largest compilation of Velvet Underground material in any university.

The collection includes rare posters, handwritten set lists and photographs of performances.

“With this collection, we can see … how the Velvets came to be seen as one of the most influential rock bands of their era,” said rare and manuscript curator Katherine Reagan in a press release.

Eric Degenfelder ’86 Provides Inside Look Into $5B DuPont Sale

THE CORNELL DAILY SUN | Tuesday, November 3, 2015 3

By JOSH GIRSKY Sun Staff Writer

Eric Degenfelder ’86 shared lessons about business communication and the ever changing nature of the that economy he learned through selling the paint coating branch of DuPont Company, to The Carlyle Group for over five billion dollars.

Degenfelder said during Monday’s Olin Hall lecture that he was working for DuPont Company in August 2011 when the company decided to sell its paint coating brand. He was asked to spearhead this change as the vice president of transition.

“The night before the sale I was in the office until about 10 at night just signing documents, because I was the legal representative, [waiting] for the sale to go through,” he said.

Degenfelder said the sale of the independent branch of DuPont in August of 2012 to the Washington, D.C.-based Carlyle Group, a private equity firm was ultimately a good deal for the buyers.

“The price was five billion dollars, and at the time we said, ‘Man that’s a high price, boy they’re getting ripped off,’” he said. “But it turned out that [The Carlyle Group was] very smart because the return they’ve gotten since then has been way better than five billion dollars.”

After severing ties with DuPont, Degenfelder said he renamed the company Axalta in order to give it a unique identity, one independent from DuPont.

Many people associate Dupont with “this red oval and science” according to Degenfelder. He said that he and the other founders of wanted to brand Axalta as more costumer focused, fast paced and dynamic.

Degenfelder also said that he learned during the transformation that a company’s transition period highlights the importance of strong internal communication, to prevent unsettling sentiments.

“The world doesn’t stand still,” he said. “Any industry you look at is going through rapid change, and that creates merger and acquisition activity. Private equity takes advantage of that.”

Degenfelder said that since the coating brand severed from DuPont, it has become successful and has developed factories and research development offices around the world.

“We’ve got a global footprint to serve our customers,” he said.

“We have manufacturing in the United States but also in South America, in Europe and in Asia. We need a global supply and sup-

port network to serve our automotive customers.”

Degenfelder, said his specific experience — selling the paint coating company to the private equity firm The Carlyle Group — is relevant to anyone who plans to work in the business world.

“If you get out there and you’re working in industry, it is likely that you’re going to come into contact with some activity like this sooner or later. [...] You might get bought by private equity,” he said. “I would encourage you to just run with it.”

Harvard Professor Ends Run for Presidency

By THE HARVARD CRIMSON

Following unsuccessful efforts to earn a spot on the stage at televised Democratic presidential debates, Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig has ended his unusual bid for president of the United States. In a YouTube video released Monday entitled “The Democrats have changed the rules,” Lessig said he was no longer running for the nomination, pointing to new restrictive rules for participating in the debates.

Without the chance to stand behind a podium next to more mainstream Democratic candidates like Hillary Clinton, Lessig, who has focused his campaign on elec-

tion law and campaign finance reform, said that his chances of election had all but vanished. By the Democratic rules, Lessig’s polling numbers were not high enough to qualify for the second Democratic debate, he said.

“It is now clear that the party won’t let me be a candidate, and I can’t ask people to support a campaign that I know can’t even get before the members of the Democratic party,” Lessig said in the video. “Or to ask my team or my family to make a sacrifice even greater than what they have already made.”

Lessig’s candidacy began over the summer, when he announced his intention to run as a “referendum” candidate to reform campaign

The online activist organization Anonymous — which exploits security flaws to obtain information supporting its political agenda — published the names of dozens of Ku Klux Klan activists yesterday, according to AnonHQ, the group’s news website. Anonymous had previously promised to release the names on the one-year anniversary of the Ferguson protests, calling the initiative #OpKKK. The preliminary list that the group released on Twitter includes multiple U.S. senators and mayors of major U.S. cities.

finance and election laws. Under Lessig’s original plan, he campaigned on his narrow election reform platform, hoping to pass widescale legislation when he took office and then resign the presidency to his vice president. A long-time reform activist, Lessig launched a political action committee in 2014, called the Mayday PAC, to support candidates fighting the influence of big money in politics.

When Lessig raised an initial $1 million by Labor Day, he formally launched his campaign, taking a leave of his absence from his day job as a Harvard Law professor and hitting the trail in New Hampshire.

Soon, though, Lessig’s campaign ran into issues as voters and the media questioned his plans to resign the presidency. In an Oct. 17 essay published in the Atlantic, Lessig changed one of his campaign promises in hopes of increasing his credibility with voters, announcing that he would stay on as president if he were elected.

“If the Democrats won’t take seriously a candidate with a viable, credible, and professionally managed campaign just because it includes a promise to step aside once the work is done, then fine,” he wrote in the essay. “You win. I drop that promise.”

Now, less than a month after his strategy overhaul, Lessig has ended his bid for the Democratic nomination all together, though he promised he would stay committed to the issue of campaign finance reform.

“I must today end my campaign for the Democratic nomination and turn to the question of how best to continue to press for this reform now,” Lessig said.

Nanomaterials Research Lab Opens to Public LAB

Continued from page 1

The lab will now be open to all students, researchers and private companies who are willing to pay a fee to use the lab’s equipment, according to Prof. Robert Van Dover, materials science and engineering, the center’s co-director.

“The main raison d’être for CNET is the service it provides to Cornell faculty, staff and student researchers,” he said. “It will enhance their productivity and make possible studies that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive.”

Van Dover said the lab’s new public status will help Cornellian users develop technology in a way that extends beyond economic research as well as attracting the interest of outside companies. He said he believes Cornell faculty research groups will be the primary users, with some use coming from start-ups and smaller companies.

In its first month of operation, the lab was commissioned by 30 unique users, including some not affiliated with Cornell. The lab has 17 items of sophisticated equipment available for synthesis, processing and

characterization of materials, according to Van Dover.

This equipment can be used to develop and analyze materials for carbon capture and conversion, electrochemical energy storage and innovating methods of biomedicine and drug delivery, according to the University.

The University believes the new lab could also potentially be used to encourage partnerships between Cornell and various private companies. These interactions could create the atmosphere of a business incubator for students interested in entrepreneurship, in addition to attracting interest from national companies.

While the center will now generate revenue for Cornell, its directors said commercial benefits did not lead to the lab becoming public. “[The lab’s aim is to] make the state-of-the-art facilities of CNET available to researchers across the campus and beyond will enable studies that would otherwise require them to buy or rent expensive equipment,” Van Dover said.

“I thought it would be a terrific opportunity to bring local government officials up to the hill to meet with us students, their constituents,” said Praiss, who is a member of The Sun’s design department. “Such a meeting I believe would get students to think more seriously and thoughtfully about how the city government impacts their life.”

Emma Johnston ’16, executive vice president of the S.A., shared her hope that this initiative will help students become more civically involved.

“While this event seems to bring part of the Ithaca community to campus, hopefully it will encourage them to to leave campus to participate in the local community by going to Common Council meetings, volunteering or simply attending events or supporting local businesses on the weekends,” Kastenbaum said.

Cornell Faculty and Students Weigh Merits of Trigger Warnings TRIGGER WARNING Continued from page 1

ing people to their source of anxiety in small doses, the article argued.

However, responding to The Atlantic piece in an op-ed in The New York Times, Prof.

Kate Manne, philosophy, defended her use of trigger warnings and said she has been using trigger warnings since she began to lecture.

By providing students a simple warning about potentially uncomfortable or sensitive topics ahead of time in the syllabus, Manne wrote that she hopes students are prepared for any emotional responses they may have and can better interact with course material.

“The thought behind trigger warnings isn’t just that these states are highly unpleasant (although they certainly are),” Manne wrote in the column.

“It’s that they temporarily render people unable to focus, regardless of their desire or determination to do so. Trigger warnings can work to prevent or counteract this.”

Beyond the positive or negative effects of trigger warnings on the mental health of students, however, the debate surrounding trigger warning usage has extended to its implications with free speech. Some people worry that fear of showing potentially triggering material could hinder free speech, while others argued that trigger warn-

ings create environments that better allow free speech.

In a meeting with reporters last month, President Elizabeth Garrett said while she “would never require” professors to warn students about triggers, she believes professors’ freedom to teach certain topics was inextricably tied to their freedom of speech.

“If they wish to do that, they have that right,” Garrett said.

“If they wish not to do that, they also, in my view, have that right.”

Dancy’s chemistry class was one of many small incidents of professors bringing up potentially triggering material in class.

“Trigger warnings are increasingly being applied to material that isn’t objectionable to a large percentage of students,” Kairey added. “They’re being used by just a few students to try and rid syllabi of material that they find personally offensive.”

While the debate about triggers has centered on the effect warnings may have on the quality of higher education and free speech, many professors and students argue that warnings should simply be a common courtesy in class.

Pizarro said professors should aim to be able to discuss potentially triggering topics in a way that makes students comfortable.

“Any good professor ought to be sensitive to the fact that they might talk about distressing or disturbing things,” he said.

Manne also argued that while professors cannot predict every time some material may prove triggering for a student, that it was simple enough to avoid topics that are likely to cause stress or trauma for a student.

“It’s important to respect what other people want to see or can see without having some sort of panic attack or anxiety,” said Robert Chirco ’18.

NEWS BRIEFS

E. coli in Northwest Marks Chipotle’s Third Outbreak This Year

SEATTLE (AP) — Chipotle closed 43 of its Pacific Northwest locations after the chain’s third foodborne illness this year sickened about two dozen people — prompting renewed scrutiny of a company that touts its use of fresh ingredients and farmsourced fare.

Cases of the bacterial illness were traced to six of the casual Mexican food restaurants, but the company voluntarily closed down all of its locations in Washington and the Portland, Oregon, area as a precaution as an investigation continues.

Three people in the Portland area and 19 people in western Washington have gotten sick with E. coli as of Friday. Seventeen of them had eaten at a Chipotle restaurant during the past few weeks. Eight people have been hospitalized but no deaths have been reported.

About a dozen more people were being tested for E. coli on Monday in Washington state and health officials were aggressively searching for more cases, said Dr. Scott Lindquist, state epidemiologist for communicable diseases for the Washington State Department of Health.

Lindquist does not expect the number of sick people to increase dramatically, and he said they are not positive yet that the outbreak is limited to people who ate at Chipotle restaurants over the past few weeks.

Those sickened in the E. coli outbreak range in age from 11 to 61. Lindquist did not have any detailed information about their medical conditions.

Chipotle has faced other recent foodborne outbreaks. A salmonella outbreak linked to tomatoes sickened dozens of people in Minnesota beginning in August, according to state health officials. In California, health workers said norovirus sickened nearly 100 customers and employees at a Chipotle restaurant in Simi Valley in mid-August.

“Having three problems in a couple of months means that Chipotle is not paying attention to food safety like it should,” said Bill Marler, a Seattle food safety lawyer who built his national reputation with the 1993 E. coli outbreak at Seattle Jack in the Box restaurants.

The common denominator in most food-borne illness outbreaks is poor food safety, Marler said.

People should not assume a company that focuses on local and fresh ingredients — like Chipotle — is going to be immune from food safety issues, he said.

“People shouldn’t have a false sense of security that local means safer,” Marler said.

Health officials believe the contamination at Chipotle is related to a fresh food product such as lettuce or other produce.

The outbreak probably will not be traced to one sick individual or one instance of cross-contamination of food because the cases are connected with various restaurants, said Marisa D’Angeli, medical epidemiologist with the Washington State Department of Health.

The company is not planning to close any other restaurants in other states because there is no evidence of a link to other locations, company spokesman Chris Arnold said.

Only six restaurants in Washington and Oregon have been connected to the outbreak.

“We closed 43 in those states out of an abundance of caution,” Arnold said.

Reopening the shuttered locations will depend on the investigation, he said.

Allen Adamson of New York marketing consulting firm BrandSimple said the outbreak in Washington state is likely to hurt the brand far beyond the closed stores.

“Many consumers will feel, ‘Why risk it?,’ until they find out how it happened,” Adamson said.

“Consumers have lots of choices.”

Although the shutdown restaurants represent just 2 percent of the company’s 1,931 locations, each restaurant brings in about $2.5 million in revenue a year on average, according to Chipotle.

Chipotle’s stock fell as much as 5 percent early Monday, but recovered slightly, falling 2.5 percent to close at $624.

The decision to close down immediately will help the brand in the long-term, said Laura Ries, president of Atlanta marketing strategy firm Ries & Ries.

“They went above and beyond what they needed to do,” she said.

Customers tend to return to eating foods that caused illnesses as soon as they are assured it’s safe, said Darren Seifer, a food analyst at market research firm NPD Group.

NATHANIEL BROOKS / THE NEW YORK TIMES

To court | State Sen. Dean Skelos (R-N.Y.), Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) and State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-N.Y.) in Albany, N.Y. in 2013. The coming trials of Silver and Skelos will focus on the crisis of corruption in the state capital.

Opening Arguments Likely Today in Trial Of Former New York Assembly Speaker NEW YORK (AP) — Opening statements in the corruption trial of a former state Assembly speaker appeared likely to start Tuesday after a judge questioned jurors into the evening Monday.

U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni said she hoped opening statements could occur Tuesday morning after jury selection is completed in the trial of Sheldon Silver, a Manhattan Democrat.

The judge questioned several dozen prospective jurors individually over a 10-hour stretch to identify biases that could contaminate Silver’s trial.

Silver was arrested in January on charges he took nearly $4 million in kickbacks and payoffs characterized as attorney referral fees. He is free on bail and has said he will be vindicated.

His lawyers say federal prosecutors are unfairly going after him for practices that have long been sanctioned in Albany.

Silver, 71, stepped down from his speaker post after his arrest but retained his Assembly seat. The charges he faces carry a potential penalty of 130 years in prison upon conviction.

Months after Silver’s arrest, prosecutors charged the state Senate leader, Dean Skelos, with extortion and soliciting bribes. They said Skelos, the state’s most powerful Republican official at the time, used his position to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars for his son, who also was charged.

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

Dow Jones Industrial Average Turns Positive for 2015 NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks posted solid gains Monday, adding to last month’s big advances and pushing the Dow Jones industrial average into positive territory for 2015.

Several companies moved on news, including Chipotle Mexican Grill and Visa.

Health care stocks were among the winners as drugmakers Pfizer and AbbVie climbed, while energy stocks rose sharply in a late-day rally.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 165.22 points, or 0.9 percent, to 17,828.76. The gain made the Dow the last of the three major U.S. market indexes to return to positive territory for 2015.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 24.69 points, or 1.2 percent, to 2,104.05 and the Nasdaq composite rose 73.40 points, or 1.5 percent, to

5,127.15.

Health-care stocks continued to rally. Drug giant Pfizer rose $1.24, or 3.7 percent, to $35.05, the secondbiggest gain in the Dow. The shares slumped late last week on word Pfizer is in talks to buy competitor Allergan.

AbbVie, which surged 10 percent Friday on strong third-quarter results, climbed $3.83, or 6.4 percent, to $63.38 after analysts at Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock.

Health-care stocks gained 2 percent, nearly twice as much as the broader S&P 500 index. Energy stocks rose even more, 2.4 percent.

Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Chesapeake Energy and others rose 3 percent or more.

Visa was among the biggest decliners. The payments processor

gave up $2.36, or 3 percent, to close at $75.22 after saying it would buy its sister company Visa Europe in a deal that could be worth more than $23 billion. The company warned that 2016 earnings could be hurt as the company finances the debt and stock to pay for the deal.

A lot of focus for investors is on company earnings, which continue to roll out this week. Earnings season is nearly through, and the stock market has recovered significantly as companies have reported somewhat better results than initially expected.

With 340 companies out of the S&P 500 reporting, third-quarter earnings are down 2.2 percent compared to a year earlier. When earnings season began, analysts were looking for earnings to be down 5.2 percent.

Jimmy Carter Says He Feels Fine, Keeps Busy Despite Cancer MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Jimmy Carter resumed his role as Habitat for Humanity’s most prominent booster on Monday, donning a white hard hat and a worn leather belt stocked with his own tools to hammer and saw with other volunteers building a home in Memphis, Tennessee.

“We haven’t cut back on my schedule yet,” Carter said, seeming invigorated during an Associated Press interview. “I know it’s going to come, particularly if my cancer progresses, but we don’t yet know what the result will be from the treatments.”

The former president celebrated his 91st birthday in October, and is undergoing treatment on cancer found in his liver and brain. But he was sure-footed on the construction site as he moved from one task to another.

Arriving ahead of schedule, Carter installed a hammer, measuring tape

and thick pencil on his tool belt. Then he helped place pre-framed walls, hammered nails into place and sawed boards into smaller pieces, occasionally shouting questions or suggestions at the rest of the crew.

His wife, Rosalynn Carter, 88, hammered brackets to secure the walls, pulling the nails from her own leather tool belt. “Hard work,” she said with a soft laugh.

Carter and the Atlanta-based charity have been practically synonymous for more than 30 years. His presidential museum even has his work boots and a hammer on display. Since leaving the White House, the Carters have personally been involved with 3,943 projects in 14 countries for the charity, which has helped five million people with home construction and repairs.

Each year since 1984, the couple has volunteered a week of their time to “Carter work projects,” drawing thou-

sands of volunteers. The streak seemed at risk in August when he revealed his illness, casting doubt on his ability to travel to a remote region of Nepal this month.

Ultimately, doctors approved the trip, but it was cancelled due to concerns about civil unrest in the region, Carter said. He told the AP on Sunday that he had been looking forward to the Nepal build, which would have involved making walls woven of bamboo.

“Back in August ... I didn’t know if I would be physically able or if the doctors would let me go to Nepal, but they finally approved my going, and I was very happy and excited about that,” Carter said. “To find out that we couldn’t go because of civil disorder in Nepal was just a very serious blow to me, and I presume to the other 2,500 people who were going to join us down there.”

A Candidate For Students Elie Kirshner’18 For County Legislature

BETWEEN THE TWO CANDIDATES RUNNING in Tompkins County’s Fourth District, we believe Elie Kirshner ’18 is the best person to represent the needs of students living in Collegetown and near the Commons on the Tompkins County Legislature.

Kirshner’s opponent, Rich John ’81, is undoubtedly a qualified candidate. He has valuable experience as an attorney, and understands the community both as a resident and a Cornell alumnus. While he would bring a great amount of experience to the position, we believe that Kirshner is a more favorable choice. Kirshner is admittedly young, but his age and student status are part of what distinguish him as an appropriate candidate for the County’s Fourth District. Kirshner understands the issues and concerns pertaining to Ithaca’s large student population.

Furthermore, by having a student on the Legislature, additional opportunities can be created for Cornellians to further their engagement with the community, which has been lacking in recent years.

If elected, Kirshner would not be the only young candidate elected to serve the local community in recent memory — Mayor Svante Myrick ’09, who is currently vying for mayoral reelection, won a seat on Common Council as an undergraduate student. Myrick is a testament to the fact that electing students to government positions fosters continued and active civic engagement with an important part of the community — the student base. Kirshner has already interned for Myrick, meaning that Kirshner has an understanding of the responsibilities of government officials, as well as a broader understanding of issues pertaining to the Ithaca community beyond Cornell’s campus.

While students ought to engage with the community, it is imperative that the local government also engages with students, who make up a significant portion of Ithaca community for two-thirds of the year. While both candidates are qualified to serve on the legislature, Kirshner, if elected, will bring a perspective that will bring to light the problems facing the Collegetown and Commons neighborhoods.

Question Candidates, The Crazy Thing Not Questioners About Mental Health Week O

“T

he easiest Ivy to get into, the most difficult to get out of.” Cornell University’s reputation is not always one to envy. Worrying about prelims, papers or presentations, watching sleep-deprived students trudge around campus, talking to friends about ever-impending deadlines, students feel the stress of Cornell every day. But only on anonymous platforms, such as Yik Yak or Overheard at Cornell, do the true costs of this enormous stress begin to surface.

Five years ago, in response to the suicides of six students, Cornell built fences and posted security guards and installed cameras on the bridges that span its gorges. Twenty-nine people, including fourteen Cornell students and one Ithaca High School student, jumped from Cornell bridges between 1990 and 2010, according to a study on suicides the University commissioned in 2010. Then-president David Skorton pushed for the expansion of Gannett Health Services’ mental health counseling. Permanent nets were installed on five Cornell bridges.

Last month, as the university proclaimed on campus and online, held Cornell’s first “Mental Health Awareness Week.”

Its purpose was to “stomp out stigma” surrounding mental health at Cornell. As administrators are quick to point out, the suicide rate at Cornell is lower than the national average of 6.6 to 7.5 deaths per 100,000 students. The 2010 changes in men-

The real issue is the University’s failure to sincerely address the underlying causes of mental illness at Cornell. tal health services have led more students to seek help from the university’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).

However, as Rebecca Kruger pointed out in a recent Daily Sun blog post, for all of the life-saving work that the Gannett staff does, it is woefully understaffed and struggles to address the urgent needs on campus: There are 21 counselors for the 2,800 students who use CAPS each year, or a daunting 133 students for every counselor. It’s a shame, but no surprise, that when a student calls Gannett’s emergency support line, he or she is typically asked to wait weeks to receive treatment.

Hopefully the ongoing expansion of Gannett will address these problems, but for now they remain.

Yet in spite of all of the attention they receive, stigma and the resource shortage at Gannett aren’t our biggest mental health problems. The real issue is the University’s failure to sincerely address the underlying causes of mental illness at Cornell. Not unlike its stressed students, the administration of Cornell University is all too prone to acting as if everything is fine. The history of suicide at Cornell tells a different story. No photo shoot on Ho Plaza, and no social media campaign with a hashtag thrown together in a focus group will change that.

No net prevents suicidal feelings. The increase in Gannett staffing in 2010 was an important step in the right direction, but a change in Gannett is not a change in the Cornell experience.

If insanity is changing nothing and expecting a different result, then our attitude towards mental health is insane. To the community here at Cornell, the students, the professionals at Gannett, the University staff and faculty and to President Garrett, I say: Let’s have a real mental health week. Let’s talk about depression. Let’s talk about suicide. Let’s talk about the crushing workload that most students struggle with, as well as the significant disparity in workload, difficulty and grading standards between the seven undergraduate schools. Let’s talk about grade deflation, and student inability to fully engage with academic, athletic and social groups on campus. Let’s talk about rampant abuse of alcohol and “study drugs.” Let’s talk about how Greek Life impacts our social scene, and the role and form student government should take. Let’s talk about a “residential life” where students move off campus and away from each other. For once, don’t think about the negative publicity. Think about the students at risk.

n Sunday night, representatives from 13 Republican presidential campaigns — staff from the Carly Fiorina team was absent — met in Virginia to discuss the format of future debates and to decide whether the Republican National Committee would have any role in the proceedings. The assembly culminated after days of backlash ensuing CNBC’s handling of the Republican debate last week.

During the debate, Ted Cruz slammed the moderators as untrustworthy while Marco Rubio panned journalist John Harwood for misrepresenting his tax plan. Chris Christie found a breakout moment in questioning the legitimacy of questions surrounding a billion-dollar unregulated betting industry.

The resulting demands from the campaign summit were sent out to future debate hosts, including Fox Business Network and CNN, without input from the RNC, which had previously managed debate criteria and logistics. After some candidates had proposed including all 14 candidates on one stage or creating two randomly selected seven-candidate debates, the actual demands were tame in nature; asking only for two hour limits, thirty second opening and closing statements and equal speaking time.

Days after a handful of Congressional Republicans forced out Speaker of the House John Boehner, the presidential candidates have moved to squeeze out the Republican National Committee in the debate process, which displays the latest fracture between establishment and dissidents. The CNBC debate was disastrous. But it wasn’t the fault of the moderators.

Perhaps Ted Cruz best summed the feelings of candidates and their supporters with his mid-debate tirade against the media, exclaiming “You look at the questions: ‘Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain?’ ‘Ben Carson, can you do math?’ ‘John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?’ ‘Marco Rubio, why don't you resign?’ ‘Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?’ How about talking about the substantive issues the people care about?”

To be fair to the moderators, the answer to that first question may very well be a yes. All jokes aside, the questions presented to Mr. Trump — regarding how he’d get the Mexican government to pay for a wall and how he’d deport 11 million people — are squarely within the substantive scope of the landscape Republican rhetoric has shaped.

When mentioning Ben Carson, Cruz was referring to the moderator’s pushback against Carson’s tax plan. The exchange began when Becky Quick asked Carson how he planned to fund the government with a 10 percent tax rate; a proposal that would cut the revenue the federal government currently collects in half. Carson asserted he never said such a thing (Carson flashback to

the first Republican debate: “You make $10 billion, you pay a billion.

You make $10, you pay one”), and that the rate would actually be closer to 15 percent.

Carson persisted in the third debate, “If you’re talking about an $18 trillion economy, you’re talking about a 15 percent tax on your gross domestic product. You’re talking about $2.7 trillion. We have a budget closer to $3.5 trillion. But if you also apply that same 15 percent to

first-term belonged to women.” This is obviously false, yet in the following days Fiorna appeared on CNN and in the Wall Street Journal stating, “No, I’m not using the wrong data. The liberal media doesn’t like data. Perhaps the liberal media doesn’t like facts.”

This past Sunday, Fiorina went on ABC to concede, “In this particular case, the fact checkers are correct. This is what the liberal media always does, it attacks the messenger,

By dragging along the investigation at a “glacial pace,” the Committee makes clear their intention to influence presidential politics in an attempt to gratify a decades old partisan vendetta. several other things, including corporate taxes, and including the capital gains taxes, you make that amount up pretty quickly.”

But the tax base is not the gross domestic product in its entirety. For this math to work, you’d have to tax a base representing 100 percent of the economy, a proposal that would necessitate a more expansive tax code.

Even more fireworks were in store in a testy altercation regarding the tax plan of Marco Rubio.

Harwood started his line of questioning by asking the Senator why his proposed tax plan, as scored by the conservative-leaning Tax Foundation, would give highincome earners nearly double the after-tax income increase compared to middle-income earners. Mr. Rubio deflected the question by pivoting to a discussion of low-income tax scales and then blasted Harwood for writing a story on the issue that had to be then later corrected.

Harwood says, “No I did not.”

Rubio says, “You did. No, you did.”

Rubio gets wild applause.

In reality, it was a tweet Harwood had corrected that referred to numbers the Tax Foundation derived from the Rubio plan. In their assessment, the Foundation concluded that middle-class earners would receive a 15.3 percent increase, while top earners would see a 27.9 percent increase, or about a doubled increase in after-tax income. Furthermore, a March New York Times assessment of the Tax Foundation method of scoring stated, “I discussed the Tax Foundation report with 10 public finance economists ranging across the ideological spectrum, all of whom said its estimates of the economic effects of tax cuts were too aggressive. ‘This would not pass muster as an undergraduate’s model at a top university,’ said Laurence Kotlikoff, a Boston University professor whom the Tax Foundation specifically encouraged me to call.”

Elsewhere in the debate, Carly Fiorina claimed that, “92 percent of the jobs lost during Barack Obama’s

trying to avoid the message.”

Luckily for Rubio and Fiorina, the Republican candidates have quickly discovered that any legitimate question pushing candidates outside of their prescribed narrative will swiftly be answered by them questioning the questioner and bashing the media. Facts are attacks and a message need no root in reality, but instead merely needs to be a fantasy of what candidates and their supporters wish to hear. When tuning in to a presidential debate, viewers assume a certain degree of truth.

After all, many of the candidates are former or sitting Senators and Governors.

After the debate Frank Luntz went on Fox News to discuss the Ted Cruz outburst, saying, “I've been doing this since 1996. This is a special moment. I've never tested in any primary debate a line that scored as well as this.”

At a time when debates are setting record-viewership numbers, the notion that candidates will be believed in deceit and rewarded for avoiding criticism and lampooning journalists is a dangerous one.

Allowing candidates — in a debate of either party — to perpetrate their own concocted narratives that loosely rely on reality isn’t a debate, it’s a press conference.

Oh, and the question that went unanswered and launched Mr. Cruz into his confession of media contempt: “Senator Cruz. Congressional Republicans, Democrats and the White House are about to strike a compromise that would raise the debt limit, prevent a government shutdown and calm financial markets that fear of . . . another Washington-created crisis is on the way. Does your opposition to it show that you're not the kind of problem-solver American voters want?”

‘Making the Most of the Night’

C A R L Y

R A E

BY MIKE SOSNICK Arts and Entertainment Editor

Nearly every student knew that Carly Rae Jepsen would be playing at Barton Hall on Sunday, but there weren’t many that seemed to be going. There wasn’t a steady stream of them trudging up from Collegetown, and people that I talked to treated the fact that I was going more as a gag than a given. The queue for laughably ineffective pat-downs at the entrance was nonexistent and the slim number of people already in Barton at 7:30 didn’t grow much ahead of the headliner’s set.

The few stragglers didn’t miss much, though. The night’s opener was the wholly replaceable St. Lucia, a band you probably know for that indie-pop song you can sing half the lyrics to but can’t remember who it’s by ... yeah, that one.

Walking into the middle of their set was like walking into a neon-lit Urban Outfitters soundtrack. Top buttons of patterned button downs were buttoned, hands were clapped, tambourines were slapped and a massive fan kept lead singer Jean-Philip Grober’s undercut flowing. With only two or three musicians of the five-person band playing their instruments at any given moment, the thin crowd responded dutifully to Grober’s inquiry of, “Are you ready to jump tonight?”

What St. Lucia’s set lacked in originality, it made up for in the most synth-pop way possible — it was remarkably easy to describe with purposefully bland words like “fun” by people who probably use “Brooklyn” as an adjective.

As Carly Rae Jepsen (praised be her name) took the stage to 101 Dalmatians soundbytes, the crowd didn’t seem much thicker. While I can’t imagine that’s what CCC wanted out of a concert that nearly every student knew was happening, a sparsely packed Barton Hall was exactly what I needed to flail my limbs with reckless abandon in a vague approximation of dancing. The extra space proved immediately necessary as the Cruella de Vil-costumed Canadian — she was compensating for missing Halloween on the plane — launched into the disco pulse of “Run Away With Me” with the help of a band clad in dog ears and spots. Jepsen crooned for a crowd which, although small in number, was massive in its singalong fervor.

J E P S E N

A T

I don’t think I was alone in forgetting that “Good Time” is (partly) a Carly Rae Jepsen track; to me, it had always been Owl City’s “song that isn’t ‘Fireflies.’” But “Good Time” was still enough of a summer banger to keep the crowd screaming, even if the bassist’s attempt at the male vocals fell a bit flat. The song ended up being quite representative of the concert itself, with its refrain of “We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time” proving to be a fine motto for the evening. Jepsen can belt out the most formulaic, dead-simple pop hits and it’s still a blast — “Good Time” was no exception.

Cruella had already shed her faux fur vest when she proclaimed, in the middle of “Tiny Little Bows,” that she “didn’t mean to turn [the concert] into a strip show” as she planned to take off her heels. Conveniently, the confetti cannons shot off to announce this decidedly unsexy move that would end up requiring a roadie’s help. This refreshingly wholesome move from the 30-year old came in sharp contrast to anyone who was at the same venue two years earlier for Ke$ha’s show (or most major pop concerts, for that matter) where sex appeal was high on the list of priorities. Therein lies much of Jepsen’s appeal — she’s no more threatening than a childhood smile or a jar of jellybeans.

She may be short on substance, but her saccharine disposition leaves little to dislike.

Taking off her heels didn’t do much to alleviate Jepsen’s stiff stage presence, but her coy discomfort seemed to be another welcome product of her manufactured innocence. She’d run her hands through her hair every so often in an attempt at passion, but it was impossible to take it seriously with Cruella-inspired grey streaks. Carly Rae defiantly declared she was over dwelling on boys in a bout of mass-produced pseudo-feminism, and stopped herself before uttering what, to her, were “bad words”: “bitching about boys.” How edgy! Her weakly uninspired attempts at subversion only highlighted how cloying she really is, but that’s where her allure squarely lies. Would you be dancing you tushie off to “Boy Problems” if she actually reflected thoughtfully on her relationship issues? Didn’t think so.

Following a few deeper cuts (in relative terms, obviously) that could be loosely deemed the show’s “e•mo•tional” section, she capped off the night with the two tracks everyone was expecting her to end on: “Call Me Maybe” and “I Really Like You.” However much Jepsen may hate those songs by

now, it didn’t show on Sunday night. She rattled through them with all the passion that this dedicated fan was hoping for. To say that those seven-ish minutes were a life highlight is probably an exaggeration, but the fact that such an acutely unchallenging pop set could enter that conversation speaks volumes about Carly Rae’s strange, infectious appeal. After the set concluded with a guitar solo from my favorite dalmatian, Tavish, I rode a powerful wave of cheerfully stupefied confusion, unadulterated bliss and inconveniently pooled sweat out of Barton’s alternate universe and back into the real world.

— Zhao Shen “Hello?” It’s the first lyric we’ve heard from Adele in over three years. Three years of listeners imploring her to release a new song, and now she’s finally here to answer us. The world’s response has been tremendous; “Hello” has amassed 100 million YouTube views in just five days, broken the U.S. record for first-week digital sales and sent Adele plunging straight back into the limelight.

There’s one thing I can say for sure: The song is very much in alignment with her previous work. It’s a somewhat minimalistic yet extremely catchy track that emphasizes the many colors of the artist’s beautiful, smoky voice. Starting from soft piano chords under her crooning voice and swelling into a passionate refrain with a style that is distinctively Adele’s, “Hello” does a good job of reintroducing her voice to our ears.

Yes, she’s back, and she’s back in style. “Hello” is a great opening track for her new album 25, and does exactly what it should: get the world excited for the rest of the album to hit on November 20. If you find yourself hating it, you had better brace yourself for the amount of times you’ll hear it on the radio and estrange yourself from all of your fanatical Adele-loving friends. But if you’re like me, you’ll find her latest song a pleasure to listen to and a comforting sign that she still hasn’t lost her touch.

Schiff Sublime at Carnegie Hall

BY TYRAN GRILLO Sun Staff Writer

Pianist András Schiff is a genius. By that I don’t mean to describe an artist of exceptional talent, which nevertheless Schiff proved himself to be with his appearance at Carnegie Hall last Friday night. I intend the original Latin meaning of “generative power” or “inborn nature,” by which his playing was duly possessed. This embodied approach to performance has become clearest since his tenure with ECM started in 1997. Schiff ’s latest for the label is an all-Schubert recital spanning two discs and culminating, as did the Carnegie performance, in the Piano Sonata in B-flat Major of 1828. Whereas the album documents his reckoning with a Viennese fortepiano built that same decade, an instrument of concave power that shores up the Schubertian temple against any resistance of preconceptions, for this appearance only the convexity of a Bösendorfer would do. For him these qualities have never been opposite but complementary, as was clear when he sounded Schubert’s ominous trill. But let us, like Schiff, save the best for last.

In addition to its sublime musicianship, Friday’s concert sported a masterful program, sequencing the final piano sonatas of Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart and

dear, ill-fated Schubert, in that order. Schiff finessed his way through Haydn’s picture-perfect Sonata in Eflat Major (1794) like a skilled orator: No gesture or utterance was wasted. His Adagio was all the more barren for being surrounded by two leafier branches, neither of which shed a single trident in the gusts of Beethoven’s Sonata No. 32 in C Minor (1821/22). The latter came only after Schiff had hunched over the keys, as if in prayer, to gather himself. Equal parts brush and chisel, its curious, two-movement structure revealed the independence of Schiff ’s fingers, and the composer’s in turn for treating repeats as opportunities for self-discovery and, in the dolorous latter half, holistic expression. The coda nevertheless resounded with affirmation of life.

Had it not been sandwiched between two heavyweights, Mozart’s Sonata in D Major (1789) might have seemed like poor casting. But its placement after intermission was refreshing. Although a subpar sonata, one that inlaid its frame at the expense of a clear scene within it, its technical flourishes emitted from Schiff ’s fingers with seaward force. Thus cleansed by lack of challenge, we could navigate Schubert’s winding paths, tenderized to receive their shadows. Schiff opened the sonata like a thumb-worn book and read it aloud to the audience with burrowing grandeur. Despite its length, the first movement

was eclipsed by Schiff ’s restrained handling of it, which assured that the impact of the final Allegro rung true. Between them were a passionate Andante, in which he barely touched the keys as his left hand arced back and forth over the right, and a sunnier Scherzo. Throughout, Schiff was always moving ahead with the future in mind and all the necessary construction materials at his fingertips.

Just as the Goldberg Variations belong to Glenn Gould, so too does Schubert to Schiff. All the more appropriate that he should end the concert with the second of two encores, playing the Aria from Bach’s masterwork. In his handling it became an open lattice, if not also the vine creeping up it, dreaming of its own birth from seed and soil. Before that we were treated to Schumann’s rarely performed Geistervariationen (Ghost Variations) in E-flat Major, featured on Schiff ’s 2011 ECM recording of the same name.

Although written on the brink of madness, it was as lucid as all else, and showed Schiff as, more than anything, one of the great listeners to ever grace the Carnegie stage. That he played it all from memory would have seemed amazing had it not felt so inevitable.

Each number in the solution therefore occurs only once in each of the three “directions,” hence the “single numbers” implied by the puzzle’s name.

Sprint Football Wins Final Game

Does Instant Replay Have a Place in Sports?

SHATZMAN

Continued from page 16

was missed, stating “There is no dispute that last night’s game should have ended differently.” Regardless, Armando Galarraga’s name would be left out of the record books.

Many, including former players and United States politicians, lambasted Selig for his refusal to change the call. Although Selig contended that the call wouldn’t be overturned, he did vow to examine “…the expanded use of instant replay and all other related features.”

Prior to the 2014 season, replay in baseball was used almost exclusively for reviewing home runs. But 2014 and 2015 marked significant changes in the system. Besides reviewing balls and strikes, almost any call can be reviewed by umpires at the Replay Operations Center, which relays the decision to the onfield umpires. Managers are afforded challenges, similar to those in the NFL, during which a manager can consult via phone with someone who determines whether the play is worth challenging.

This, of course, takes time. A review can take several minutes, even when the call appears obvious.

There are regular lulls in the action.

Replay obstructs game flow, which

can be frustrating for both players and fans. But if the integrity of the game is at the base of the issue — that is, ensuring the correct call no matter what — then the constant pauses are merely necessary evils in guaranteeing the integrity of the sport. But do the benefits outweigh the negatives? Are sports better with the constant scrutiny of replay?

It isn’t just baseball. The NBA and the NFL have also expanded review systems over the past few seasons. On Sunday afternoons, it often seems like the broadcast crew brings in Mike Pereira every other play. It’s worth considering whether the increase in penalties over the last few seasons — 3,699 yellow flags in 2009 compared to 4,248 last season — can be attributed to the comprehensive scrutiny that officials are always under. Missed calls will be exposed via replay, so officials could be more tempted to throw their flags, even if the penalties seem superfluous. Reviews are common, and cameras are ubiquitous, so every move by every person involved in the game will be tracked.

The effectiveness of replay review has been suspect. On Saturday, Miami beat Duke on a Music City Miracle-esque touchdown as time expired. But the replay showed that during the

return, one of the ball carriers was down. The officials reviewed the play and failed to correct the call.

Miami gets the win on paper, but Duke won the football game. The mistakes were admitted and the officials were suspended for their errors, but that’s not the point.

Replay review exists for a reason: to guarantee the correct calls. If officials cannot make the correct calls using replay, then it’s time to question whether replay should be used at all.

Umpires and referees make mistakes. There are two ways to go about handling the inherent human error that exists among sports officials. Either the mistakes can be corrected, using replay to ensure the correct call, or missed calls can be part of the game that athletes and fans accept.

Having a review system makes sense. But the system needs to be effective. It needs to be quick and precise. Replay was expanded to ensure that there would be no more Armando Galerraga fiascos. That hasn’t been the case. If there are going to be missed calls with replay review, then why have replay review at all?

and after their first drive, our defense shut them out,” Marrero said. “Our offensive line played an amazing game and Connor [Ostrander] made great decisions with the ball.”

Marrero is one of the many valuable seniors the team will lose next year.

With 22 seniors on the team this year, the roster will look much different in the 2016 season.

“We have to fill those holes, and hopefully we pick up some good recruits and we have a very sound starting point going into next season,” Guccia said. “They [will] have to come through and work hard in the offseason so that they can get stronger.”

Finishing with a winning record this year is something the Red has not accomplished since 2012. Although the team’s goal each year is to win a championship, Guccia understands that simply taking the season

one game at a time and looking to improve week by week is the best way to approach a season.

He emphasized that the goals for next season are the same as with any other season.

“Our goal always with any season is to try and win a championship, but the key thing is for [the players] to improve each day in practice and improve each week in games,” he said. “If they can do that, then we can have a very successful season.”

The Red will take the positive momentum from this game into preparation for next season and again, set its sights on a league championship.

“While we fell short of going undefeated, by the end of the season we were executing at a high level on both sides of the ball,” Marrero said. “Our main goal all year was to finish [and] we definitely did that against Post.”

“Obviously it’s disappointing to lose and we would have loved to come away with a win Saturday, upsetting the top-

Mets Look Forward to Bright Future Post Loss NEW YORK (AP) — It was an exhilarating run with an empty feeling at the finish line.

For a team that lost the World Series in five games, the New York Mets came tantalizingly close to winning.

They led Kansas City in the eighth inning or later during three gut-wrenching defeats.

They played 53 innings and only trailed at the end of 13.

Nine more outs spread over those gnawing nights and they’re the ones bouncing in blissful unison at Citi Field, hoisting the championship trophy, soaking each other with champagne.

“This hurt,” captain David Wright said. “There’s no doubt about it.”

After locking up leads all season with steady closer

Jeurys Familia, the Mets were unable to put away the relentless Royals.

Uncharacteristic walks, deficient defense and a couple of questionable decisions by manager Terry Collins did them in.

What follows now is endless second-guessing and a litany of what-ifs.

The players, however, will leave all that to everyone else.

“That’ll drive you crazy if you start doing that,” Wright said.

“When we get a chance a few days from now, a few weeks from now, to sit down and reflect on what we did to get here, I think it’s going to bring a smile to everybody’s face.”

On a warm spring evening in Detroit, Armando Galarraga was on the verge of doing something that only 20 players had accomplished in 130 years of Major League Baseball.

Ben Shatzman Calling the Shatz

By SHAN DHALIWAL Sun Staff Writer

Coming off of a loss to Navy two weeks ago, the Cornell sprint football team travelled down to Waterbury, Connecticut, this past Friday to take on Post University in its final game of the season. Head coach Bart Guccia has stressed the importance of finishing all year long in practices and games and —

although the Red (4-3-0) did not finish the season with a league championship — the team certainly finished strong.

“Our preseason goals were to possibly win the championship, but that didn’t come to fruition,” Guccia said.

“We had our chances in the games we lost but made a few mistakes at critical times that ended up hurting us, but one thing about this team is that they never quit.”

Donald stepped to the plate, Comerica Park was full of life.

On a 1-1 count, Donald slapped a ground ball to the right side of the infield. First baseman Miguel Cabrera ranged to his right, fielded the ball and fired to Galarraga, who was covering first. In real time, Donald appeared to be out.

Tigers announcer Dan Dickerson’s call went like this: “He’s out! No! He’s safe. He’s safe.” First base umpire Jim Joyce signaled safe, and that was that. Replay review had not yet been expanded to safe/out calls, so the real-time call always stood.

The replay shown to fans, however, revealed that Donald was clearly out. Joyce had missed the call. And thus began the universal campaign for expanded replay in sports.

The day after Galarraga’s 28-out perfect game, Commissioner Bud Selig admitted that the call See SHATZMAN page 14

End game | Junior running back Kevin Nathanson had a strong game against Post, finishing with 123 rushing yards and 98 receiving yard.

With junior quarterback Rob Pannullo out with an ACL tear, freshman quarterback Connor Ostrander stepped up to lead the Red to victory. He had his best game of the season, completing 9-13 passes for 152 passing yards and rushing for an additional 52 yards. He also had three touchdowns.

“He did an excellent job of managing the game, and we were able to run the ball extremely well,” Guccia said.

Junior running back Kevin Nathanson had another big game, with 123 rushing yards and an additional 98 receiving yards. Senior running back Benjamin Herrera added an additional 87 rushing yards. In this way, it was the Red’s offense that carried the team to victory.

“Offensively we played very very well,” Guccia said. “Defensively, our first possession wasn’t very good but after that, they stepped up and shut them out. It was a good team win.”

Senior wide receiver Trevor Marrero, who caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Ostrander early in the third quarter, agreed with Guccia on the reason for the team’s solid performance.

“We ran the ball very effectively, See FOOTBALL page 14
