‘Literally Endless’ Harmon Reflects on Success, Storytelling Resources Support Co-creator of Rick and Mortyadvises hopeful filmmakers, writers Student-Run Startups

Colby Triolo ’19 is one of hundreds of students running a startup at Cornell, and she remembers the “very second” the idea for her startup came to her.

After suffering from post-concussion syndrome for almost two years, Triolo had her first headache free day in 724 days. Two weeks later, she was in the car with her dad explaining how she overcame her condition and was back to exercising. While “What I think is talking about it she said amazing about it is the words “You make you,” and they both that anyone can knew that this slogan get involved, you was something that “needs to be shared.” just have to take Flash forward three the first step.” years and YouMakeYou is now the name of Colby Triolo ’19 Triolo’s startup, which focuses on happiness, healthiness and fitness.

Triolo said the entrepreneurship resources available to her at Cornell are “literally endless,” and for good reason. Entrepreneurship at Cornell — a university-wide program offering entrepreneurship services, programs and resources — offers robust support to aspiring student entrepreneurs like Triolo.

“What I think is amazing about it is that anyone can get involved, you just have to take the first step,” Triolo said. “I have learned that anyone, See STARTUPS page 4

Dan Harmon, co-creator of Rick and Morty and executive producer for the show Community, said it was simply “banana peels and stoplights” that led to his success in a sold-out show in Bailey Hall on Friday evening.

“The luck part is time. Because luck is something that happens, the hard part is you do nothing,” Harmon joked.

He also spoke in-depth on his desire to find “a very simply, almost numerical, instinctive reason” for what makes a story.

“If there’s something ingrained in us about storytelling, I don’t think it would be attached to ‘and we do that because we love a champion’ or ‘we saved an underdog’. There shouldn’t be any of that in there,” he said.

Rather, he said that he thinks we tell stories because us “talking chimps” are constantly thinking about change.

“I do think our cells are a library full of stories or one story that is simply about how stagnation is your enemy,” he said. “Expect the worst, and when you see the worst coming, overcome your fear of that.”

This seems to be the inspiration behind his story circle technique that breaks storytelling into different simple quadrants where a character “enters an unfamiliar situation and has to work their way back.”

While Harmon did not expect any of his writers at Community to follow his method, he has heard of his former writers “spreading the gospel of the circle”.

“There are stories of it going splendidly and there’s a lot of ‘oh you're one of those Harmonites,’” he said.

In addition, Harmon

answered questions from everything about how to be a successful filmmaker and writer, his upcoming projects like adapting The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut ’44 and if he preferred chocolate or vanilla cake.

Although the event was supposed to end around 8:30 p.m., Harmon made sure to answer every question until just past 9, poking fun at the event’s original cutoff time.

“Who makes that rule, big university?” he said to a round of applause. “You know what academia wants?

Academia wants for you to stay here forever and be a grad student and then be a teacher. You can’t get out of here! So what’s with the time limit?”

The men’s hockey team toppled archrival Harvard Saturday night thanks to a last-second goal from junior defenseman Alec McCrea with 1.4 seconds left in regulation.

Tuesday night, Joshua Lafazan ’16 made history. He was elected to the Nassau County Legislature for the 18th District, making him the youngest legislator on Long Island.

The 23 year-old defeated the 39-year old Republican incumbent Donald N. MacKenzie.

Lafazan believes that residents of his district wanted change and his campaign offered it.

“Residents of the 18th district were fully fed up with the status quo,” he said. “We campaigned on a bolder and brighter vision for Nassau County. We laid out specific

detailed proposals that we would put up in front of a legislator.”

Alarmed by Threats to Women’s Rights, Cornell Alumna Eyes Congress Seat

By MADELINE COHEN Sun Senior Writer

With President Donald Trump’s unexpected 2016 victory and Republican attempts to roll back reproductive rights for women around the country, Lisa Mandelblatt ’86 said she felt compelled to run for congress.

Mandelblatt is running to unseat Rep. Leonard Lance (R-N.J.) in the state’s seventh district in the 2018 congressional election.

While at Cornell, Mandelblatt was a government major who served as the president of the sorority Sigma Delta Tau, but she believes her passion for public service began during her semester outside of Ithaca, during the Cornell in Washington program.

In an “eye-opening experi“It is high time to be electing women. ... ence,” she interned for Rep. And we’ve made strides since then, but Patricia Schroeder (D-Colo.).

“Back in 1985, I worked for it should be 50-50.”

Congressw oman Schroeder while participating in the Lisa Mandelblatt ’86 Cornell in Washington program. She was fighting back then for reproductive rights and we are still fighting for them today,” she said.

After graduating Cornell and practicing law with a degree from Fordham Law School, Mandelblatt got involved in local community efforts in Westfield, New Jersey, leading the parent-teacher organization at her children’s elementary school and becoming a board member at her temple.

Mandelblatt says that the incumbent, who voted in favor of a 20 week abortion ban, plays a key role in “eroding” reproductive rights fought for by politicians like Schroeder.

Looking ahead to her race in 2018, she is encouraged by the high turnout in her hometown of Westfield, New Jersey in last week’s New Jersey election.

“53 percent of people showed up in an off year election, whereas in 2016, it was 58 percent,” she said. “So that’s really good, and [New Jersey] should be seeing those numbers every election.”

Mandelblatt decided to fight to preserve affordable care on a national level, after witnessing the “real consequences” to New Jersey families of Governor Chris Christie’s policies as the “first governor to defund planned parenthood.”

Inspired at Cornell | Lisa Mandelblatt ’86 says she first discovered her passion for public service while working as a congressional intern as part of the Cornell in Washington program.

“Sexually transmitted diseases are up in the state, by an average of 35 percent,” she said. “There are very tangible consequences for defunding planned parenthood.”

Mandelblatt cited her belief that more women should be represented in congress as “another motivator for [her] candidacy.”

“It is high time that we elect more women to Congress, when I was working for Congresswoman Schroeder she was one of about 25 women in congress,” she said.

“And we’ve made strides since then, but it should be 50-50.”

Gala Raises Awareness for Food Insecurity Abroad, On-Campus Professor says ‘empathy’ is key ingredient to solving malnutrition, hunger, food insecurity

By MIGUEL SOTO Sun Staff Writer

Centered on the global problem of food insecurity and potential solutions to it, the Global Health Gala raised about $1200 to support a water filtration project in Guatemala.

Headed by GlobeMed and its partner organization, the Association Maya-Mam to Promote Research and Development, the project focused on the town of Comitancillo, Guatemala.

GlobeMed provides water filters for families in need, especially women, and works toward “women’s empowerment, efficient agricultural practices, dental hygiene, nutrition and water purity,” Shivani Bahl ’18,

GlobeMed co-president, said.

By providing filters to women, AMMID empowers women to attain autonomy over the filters, and they learn to install them so they may later act as leaders when other members of the community acquire a filter.

AMMID’s goal is for “100 percent of families that need a filter to have one by 2020,” Sarah Crowe ’18, GlobeMed co-president, said.

The event also addressed food insecurity on campus. Nicolas Karavolias ’18, director of store communications for Anabel’s Grocery, and Alexandra Donovan ’18, project coordinator of Anabel’s Grocery, discussed the store’s goal of reducing student food insecurity.

“One in five students indicated that they have skipped meals due to financial constraints,” Donovan said, addressing the importance of Anabel’s goal.

In an attempt to fight this problem, Anabel’s Grocery offers discounted produce, subsidies for students with low resources, lessons on online cooking classes, and demos to teach students about the food they are buying and how to prepare it.

The store is not only meant to serve food-insecure students, but the community, “because you're supporting a model that is supporting “One in five students your peers who are in a little bit more indicated that they have need,” Donovan skipped meals due to said.

Karavolias had a financial constraints.” hopeful vision for Alexandra Donovan ’18 the young grocery store.

“We really would like food insecurity [to] no longer exist on this campus and we hope our efforts can be a part of that solution,” he said.

Prof. David Levitsky, nutritional sciences, gave a simple solution to solving the issues of food insecurity.

“There is one important ingredient that is necessary to fix the problem of malnutrition and hunger and food insecurity. And that is empathy,” he said.

The decline in empathy was a result of the industrial revolution and the splitting of people into categories of “workers” and “non workers,” Levitsky said.

Levitsky spoke of society's accomplishments, speaking of education, longevity and less war, and was optimistic about the future of food insecurity, saying “today, we are getting better.”

“I’m glad to see so many young people trying to make this world a better place,” he said. “It’s up to you to keep working.”

A helping hand | GlobeMed provides water filters to Guatemalan women to not only address food insecurity, but also to empower women to become local leaders by teaching them how to install future water filters in their communities.

Programs Help Students Balance Coursework, Startups Students credit resources as key helpers in success STARTUPS

whether it be a professor or Cornell entrepreneur alum, is so happy to sit down with anyone and chat. If you are willing to put yourself out there, yes there are many resources.”

Cornell supports student entrepreneurs through programs such as eLab, which aims to help students juggle both their startups and school work at the same time. Triolo said eLab helps students by giving them school credits to work on their startups and helping them develop their startups through boot camps and coaching meetings.

In 1980, Donald Berens ’47 and Margi Berens ’47 created the Berens Professor of Entrepreneurship. Since then, additional donations and endowments has allowed Entrepreneurship at Cornell to expand into a campus-wide program governed by the deans of the 12 participating Cornell schools and colleges in 2014.

In 2016, Entrepreneurship at Cornell opened up two eHub locations, one in Kennedy Hall and another in Collegetown, to create a space for collaboration and entrepreneurship skills. “eHub is our dedicated space for entrepreneurship where students are coming together to connect and develop their ideas. With over 15,000 square feet of open co-working space, it is the place to find other entrepreneurial students and pursue your project or venture,” said William Larkin ’14 of Life Changing Labs.

As of right now, there are over 4,000 registered eHub members.

“Many of our key entrepreneurship programs and initiatives take place in eHub including the eLab accelerator, Life Changing Labs, hackathons and more,” Larkin said. “Over the past four months alone, there have been a total of 277

Letter to the Editor

The importance of keeping the Labor in Industrial and Labor Relations To the Editor: We are writing this letter to express our collective concern in anticipation of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations’ upcoming curriculum changes, guided by the particular calls for de-emphasizing labor at the ILR town hall and by careful reflection on our own experiences in ILR. This concern is situated within the broader of context of the preprofessionalization and corporatization of the university, which equips students with the tools to go far within existing structures, but not to question the legitimacy and efficacy of the very structures they benefit from. What is necessary to challenge these structures is the space to hone critical thinking, reading and writing skills, often overlooked in favor of more explicitly “marketable” focuses. Sacrificing labor studies and programs not only destroys Irving Ives’ essential vision that the ILR School was founded upon, but also does an extreme disservice to every single student in the School.

The need to focus on labor is more important now than ever. In the face of globalization, rapidly increasing inequality, and exploitation, it is imperative to counter the myth that the labor movement is a relic of the past and irrelevant to the future. The ongoing history of the labor struggle — which has given us healthcare, broad free speech protections, the weekend, the eight hour work day and child labor laws — has not ended, and we must place ourselves within it. We remember that real social change has never come from the top; it has always been won through grassroots struggle, often in the face of tremendous violence. Ignorance of this struggle will only serve to disempower today’s students who will soon become, and often already are, workers, facing new chalKaty Habr ILR ’18 Hunter Moskowitz, ILR ’18 Julissa Andrade, ILR ’18 Mayra Valadez, ILR ’18 Kataryna Restrepo, ILR ’21 Alexandra Phelps, ILR ’20 Xavier Eddy, ILR ’19 Kyle Friend, ILR ’18 Carunya Achar, ILR ’18 Laura Martinez, ILR ’19 Adam Davis, ILR ’18 Kelly Bouzi, ILR ’18 Daniel Kirchner, ILR ’21 Hannah Sosenko, ILR ’19 Erik Rivas, ILR ’20 Johannah Mitchell, ILR ’18 Lydia Zheng, ILR ’20 Grace Bogdanove, ILR ’18 Andrew Crook, MILR ’16 Michael Mintz, ILR ’17 Michelle Zhao, ILR ’19 Keanu Stryker, ILR ’18 Vanessa Roga, ILR ’20 Ashley Jones, MILR ’15 Juliet Remi, ILR ’20 Helen Shanahan, ILR ’18 Joe Anderson, ILR ’20 Travis Cabbell, ILR ’18

lenges that need to be fought. ILR classes should reflect and analyze the political dynamics that shape the experience of work and labor in today’s world, including globalization, technological advancements, precarity and the evolving ways of organizing. Oftentimes, however, this is not the case, and classes such as labor economics are taught as a steadfast doctrine — as if economics is an objective science free from sociopolitical influences, such as in its framing of people as either “unskilled” or “skilled” as a means of justifying inequalities in the labor market and class hierarchies in society. We lack the space to challenge the often-assumed correctness of these epistemologies, and we do not learn alternative perspectives. It is crucial that ILR can not only address these issues, but also give students a way to place and contextualize the movements and struggles happening around the world and in the communities in which they live, such as the fight for a living wage in Tompkins County, the unionization efforts of Cornell’s graduate students and Ithaca College’s adjunct faculty and Cornell’s use of sub-contracted temporary workers to replace unionized staff. It is true that labor is under attack — but this means we must fight harder than ever.

To understand the increasing socioeconomic inequality in the world, we must rigorously examine the intersections between labor and gender, race, class, disability, immigration status and sexual orientation, because these categories shape worker’s lives. ILR’s existing labor classes offer a needed perspective, but they are not enough to allow students to engage with the rich political history of labor. That students are able to go through their four years in ILR without ever having to engage with the ways in which race, class, gender and other Nicole Lehman, ILR ’20 Michael Ferrer, ILR ’16 Nathanael Cheng, ILR ’20 Zach Aleksandur de Stefan, Katherine Ryan, ILR ’20 ILR ’18 Leanna Zilles, ILR ’21 Karen Li, ILR ’15 Allison Considine, ILR ’17 Mario Cespedes, ILR ’13 Lindsey Fuchs, ILR ’20 Fiona Boomer, ILR ’18 Tiffany Fotopoulos, ILR Sophia May, ILR ’20 Alexandra Klein, ILR ’18 Alejandro Flores, ILR ’21 Edem Dzodzomenyo, ILR ’20 Irving Torres-Lopez, ILR ’18 Omar Cancio, MILR ’14 Hannah Lorenc, ILR ’20 Jack Nobel, ILR ’17 Cuong Pham, ILR ’20 Cecilia Faringer P., ILR ’18 Paul Ahrens, MILR ’17 Hannah Hyams, ILR ’20 Daniel Park, ILR ’21 Jodaliza Gloder, ILR ’19 Alexa Irias, ILR ’21

intersectionalities affect and shape experiences in the workplace is indicative of an egregious hole in the curriculum. The labor movement and the Left have an extremely rich history of theory that was both formed in and is practiced from the shop floor to the halls of academia, and which encompasses a variety of disciplines not limited to Marxist, anarchist, feminist and postcolonial studies. This theory, however, is rarely, if ever, taught in ILR classes, and students are forced to turn to other departments, individual studies and reading groups in order to truly understand the struggle of labor and the working class. It is disheartening that classes in other departments discuss the foundations of labor and working class struggles more than those in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations.

There are many avenues for students wishing to study business and finance to pursue those interests in the economics department and Cornell’s College of Business, as well as in business schools around the country. However, schools that focus on labor are few and far between. ILR prides itself on being one of a kind: a unique, comprehensive program meant to advance the world of work and improve working lives. We are adamant that labor must be re-centered within the curriculum, and to that end, ask the essential question: what would the School of Industrial and Labor Relations be without Labor?

Our demands can be found in the online version of this letter, at cornellsun.com.

We also request a meeting with the committee in charge of curriculum changes, including ILR Dean Kevin Hallock, within two weeks of the receipt of this letter. We await your response.

Our Alienating Alma Mater

arly this semester, I stumbled past Noyes with a friend late one weekend to discover a jubilant group of guys sitting on a ledge. Their random shouts echoed over the slope, and, as cliched an expression it is, their relaxed demeanors and comfortable adventurousness truly did betray not a care in the world. I remember my friend and I struck up a conversation, over which we learned that these guys were just-arrived sophomore transfers. Right before departing, I turned back to one of them and said, considering what we had just discussed: “I remember what it felt like to be new here.

Best of luck, man.”

Since last January, when I filed an application to transfer out of Cornell, I’ve spent much time ruminating on what makes Cornell unique, for the better or worse.

Sometimes I wonder whether the collective sullenness that defines our campus simply stems from the anxiety of young adulthood, but disheartening comparisons to other schools often make me wonder whether I should have accepted the chance to transfer.

Whether it’s one lecturer’s facetious but purposeful remark that Cornell students “are so much less happy” than our Stanford counterparts, or a recent Make Cornell Meme Again

post about overhearing a visiting parent on a campus tour mention how “they look like zombies,” the variety of anecdotal evidence suggests alienation is quietly more ubiquitous than we are otherwise led to believe.

But its source likely isn’t the reputed rigor of our curriculum, as that doesn’t account for how other schools with similarly dense curricula don’t seem hamstrung by a similar problem. Instead we should account for the extent to which our immediate physical environment affects our social interactions, and hence our existence in a lot of respects.

Unlike universities with robust residential college systems like Yale, or a small, contained campuses like Brown, ours is one where the social experience from sophomore year is outsourced to an amalgam of tradition (Greek life), fierce landlords (off-campus living) or the Hunger Games (the housing lottery).

The other day, I found myself roped into hanging with a group of freshmen, for perhaps the first time in at least a year, in their Dickson quad. I was amazed by the variety of individuals within this tight friend group: one was dirty-rushing a prominent house and seemed like a generally fratty guy, whereas the other had long-enough hair to explain

his interest in co-ops. Separately, consider how even corporate environments make active attempts to institutionally enculturate interaction: think of the interaction-conducive architecture of Pixar, as encouraged

by Steve Jobs, and all of the academic literature connecting one’s environment and one’s mental framework, and contrast it to how clearly demarcated Cornell’s well-defined social institutions are from each other.

Anyone who stands at the intersection of these predominant institutions can attest to the sense that it can really seem like an intersection. Indeed, this is because of how demarcated the boundaries between them are, and the extent to which physical separation of our school ensures that an undergraduate hotelie living in a house on North Campus may likely never again see an international computer science student living in southernmost Collegetown. And the fact that spaces allowing for this interaction don’t extend any further than freshman North is regrettable.

This pervasive institutionalization defines more than housing. Pre-professionalism primarily by clubs, fraternities, and other responsibilities outsourced to the student body, encouraging the Darwinism of many

recruitment practice even in this field. That Cornell has so many student clubs is a wonderful, quotable fact, but also telling of the striking extent to which formal organizations are held responsible for social interaction.

And so, considering the clusteredness of Cornell’s institutions, and perhaps the unchangeable geographic scope of our university, we should not be so surprised by the social boundaries that result.

Remembering those freshmen and the eclectic variety of their friend group, it seemed worth bemoaning how their interactions will likely diminish come next fall. The same could likely be said of those sophomore transfers. Before coming to college, I imagine that many of us wrote something about wanting to be exposed to a diversity of different people while at college. Despite my cynicism toward the application process as a whole, a lot of people probably wrote this in earnest, which makes the self-segregation encouraged at Cornell all the more regrettable, considering what we were maybe looking for in the first place.

OPINION

Rubin Danberg Biggs | The Common Table

A Great Way to Shoot the Hostage O

ver the last two weeks, a group of Student Assembly members, supported by several leaders of student organizations, has been on a crusade to cut student funding to the Cornell Cinema. This culminated in a joint statement with Provost Michael Kotlikoff on Wednesday committing to “begin a collaborative process to ensure Cornell Cinema does not shut down.” This statement is genuinely encouraging; however, despite this qualified success, the nature of this campaign has been quite concerning.

In an effort to take a stand, the S.A. held a valuable institution hostage, and put the livelihoods of its full-time employees in jeopardy. Setting aside individual intentions, the tactics that these students have taken, both in public statements and in a letter to the editor this week, have ranged from bizarre to downright reckless. The power to

University resource.

To be clear, they are probably correct. Cornell undoubtedly owes more to the arts, whether in programming or student activities. I fully support the University prioritizing meaningful student enrichment over the vast majority of other projects into which it pours resources. The University would also likely be a more stable source of funding than the Student Assembly, if for no other reason than that revenue could not be jeopardized by a handful of quixotic students. However, using the threat of devastating budget cuts in order to shame the University into action is absolutely irresponsible.

The potential consequences of this political stand are very real. Setting aside for a moment the harm done to students and faculty who rely on Cornell Cinema as an outlet and resource, just remember that there are human people whose salaries are tied to this thing. While the loss of funding may not have completely shut down the theater, it is plausible to think that employees could have seen a reduction in hours and wages.

Even if the theater were only closed for six months, that kind of lost salary can be catastrophic for a family. For the Student Assembly to even threaten this kind of measure was just unconscionable.

Just as troubling is the apparent lack of any organized advocacy on the part of the S.A. prior to this week. Before this abrupt decision to cut the Cinema’s funding, it does not appear that any members of S.A., nor signatories of the letter, arranged meetings with Cornell administration or organized any collective action in support of Cinema funding. This was not the culmination of a long-term campaign to secure better University funding for Cornell Cinema. If it had been, perhaps such a drastic threat may have been warranted. But to my knowledge, there have been no rallies, resolutions, meetings or op-eds in support of this particular issue until just now.

This lack of organized effort is also clear in the vague way in which the letter demanded University funding.

In addition to being a highly risky strategy, this gamesmanship was not a responsible use of the power entrusted to our student representatives. control large organizational budgets carries with it the responsibility to be considered and thoughtful. Regardless of the outcome, on this issue, the Student Assembly has not met this responsibility.

The reasoning for abruptly cutting 30 percent of the Cinema’s annual budget has evolved quite a bit over time.

After spending a few days on the claim that it is simply too expensive and inefficient to ask students to fund, proponents quickly pivoted to a more reasonable argument.

Writing in The Sun on Wednesday, a cohort of current and former campus leaders expressed their support for defunding the Cinema by claiming that they were actually trying to save it. In an all-out sprint to a moral position, the writers argued that they were trying to force the University administration to fund the Cinema themselves. This, they claimed, would be more sustainable, and would not improperly burden students with the cost of supporting a

There is no particular source that was specified, or even an amount of money they sought to see allocated. In general, I don’t expect students to have all of this information, nor is expertise in University finance a prerequisite for demanding better services. However, if students are going to threaten to cut off a vital source of funding for an organization based on the expectation that the University will make up the deficit, their burden is much higher to know where that money will come from.

Moreover, even despite this week’s statement, it is far from certain that the University will fully capitulate to this last-second ultimatum. Kotlikoff’s initial response, reported Wednesday, was that the University would be unable to make the budget shortfall in 2018. Given how vast and intransigent University budgets are, it is by no means guaranteed that this collaborative process will be successful.

Given that the S.A. has now already made a public show of cutting off all student funding to the Cinema, one has to be uneasy about what the future holds.

Regardless of how pure its intentions may have been, it was wholly inappropriate for the Student Assembly to hold a gun to the head of such an important program. It threatened the passion and work of numerous students and professionals, and lacked a robust plan to follow through. This use of the Cornell Cinema as a leverage point treated students and staff like talking points. In addition to being a highly risky strategy, this gamesmanship was not a responsible use of the power entrusted to our student representatives.

Politics in general, and student politics in particular, has a tendency toward public declarations of virtue. We are all predisposed to seek the immediate gratification of something done. So, rather than pursue incremental improvements to the Cinema’s funding structure, our Student Assembly opted to take a dramatic step and loudly declare how virtuous it was. Yet, as is too often the case, this comes at the expense of the countless people whose lives are profoundly influenced by the decisions our political leaders make. Moving forward, I hope the Student Assembly does a better job resisting the politics of self-gratification that led to this callous set of choices. The Cornell Cinema deserves better, and so do we.

Pegah Moradi | All Jokes Aside

I

The Winter of Our Discontent

tend to take the opinion that banality is beautiful. Where columnist Kelly Song ’20 rejects the stability of suburbia, I often revel in it. I love my suburban home, my little white neighbors with their little white dogs, the purple minivan that I drove semi-embarrassedly during high school, cutting up oranges for soccer games, the whole schtick. Life isn’t as full of ups and downs as sappy aphorisms would have you believe; it’s mostly steady lines. As I’ve written about before in some form or another, delighting in mundanity is wonderful. It’s a lot like peanut butter: maybe not as fabulous as a pâté (a food that I just learned about by Googling “fancy spread for crackers”) but rich and heavenly when savored. Smooth yet familiar.

The past several weeks, though, I’ve been living in stagnation. I am in stasis, and stasis is the enemy of good writing.

I have fallen into routine, and at the ripe age of 20, I have run out of experiences.

My friends at other universities — who mainly come from a similar middle and upper-middle class suburban, immigrant upbringing as me — have many of the same gripes. We are risk-averse, likely the very result of our peaceful suburban childhoods and our parents having already borne the burden of the necessary risks. My friends from home and I raised our eyebrows at a girl from our high school who moved to France with her boyfriend after graduation, another

who took time off from college to live in Senegal. We dismissed their decisions as those of privileged people who were ungrateful for how easy their upper-middle-class suburban lives were. That’s a crass way of putting it, but it’s the most frank description of our judgement.

Yet now, I find myself with this itch to escape this routine of stagnation, at least briefly. I envy Paul Russell ’19’s flowery descriptions of spontaneously hiking the Adirondacks or my friends who are country-hopping across Europe right now. It’s grim, truly, that I am 20 years old and spend most of my time answering emails and doing problem sets. I have been saying “no” to a lot of things in the hopes that a hundred noes will someday materialize into a massive, strong yes.

I know I sound whiny. This lack of excitement or passion or experience, though, is very visceral, not to mention a common and well-documented phenomenon: One of my friends gave up a White House internship because it would put him behind a year at school, noting, “I chose comfort over adventure.” Another, an aspiring academic, says he’ll probably be doing the same kind of stuff his whole life. “I’ve been trained to value stability and traditional success,” he tells me, “so I’m not compelled to change.”

Stagnation among students at elite colleges is a symptom of a larger acade-

mic and professional system that incentivizes predictability and routine. The longer I can stand to do the right things, to continue sending emails and finishing up projects, the better chance I have of

ping all my classes this week in order to write my debut sci-fi screenplay, which I will be then filming with only an iPhone and submitting to Cannes. These are, of course, not viable options. Time is a lim-

I have been saying “no” to a lot of things in the hopes that a hundred noes will someday materialize into a massive, strong yes. getting into a good law school or grad school or internship. This is hardly a novel insight; even Dr. Seuss has written about it, in Oh the Places You’ll Go, referring to it as the famous “Waiting Place”: “You can get so confused/that you'll start in to race/down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace/and grind on for miles cross weirdish wild space,/headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.”

The narrator resolves this terrifying tension by simply writing “Somehow you'll escape,” which is not at all convincing. Escape is not a given. The ideal conclusion to this discomfort would be that I have decided to take a trip to Maine next weekend or that I’ll be skip-

ited resource and the status quo is uninspiring, but not tragic. I want to be able to pick a side, to drop everything and take humongous, loud and powerful risks, or to really, genuinely love and appreciate the stability I have.

Instead I, like so many others, am stuck in the middle, wondering which side has the greener grass. Paralyzed by fear, numb from stasis. And so I default to continuing with mundanity, the easier choice; there’s less fear of the unknown, but a whole lot more to be desired.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

BY VICTORIA HORROCKS Sun Staff Writer

In James McBride’s latest short story collection FiveCarat Soul, McBride tackles an era of history dominated by contentious social and racial dynamics through the a lens that humanizes the oppressed. Through each story, McBride reveals social truths about groups ranging from PhD students at Columbia University to war veterans to lower class African Americans in the wake of desegregation. Each story takes the reader through emotional, often heart-breaking encounters that demonstrate different pains of the human condition: love, trauma, injustice and acceptance, among others.

Through his clear but poignant prose, McBride emulates the sort of rational and telling voices of historic authors whose literature exposed cultural norms, even if such norms were unflattering. His prose is didactic guised as charming, thus going beyond simply conveying the multiple personalities and experiences, but more broadly conveying an era of post-traumatic stress, whether it be racial, economic, political or a hybrid of the three.

To delve into these aspects of American culture, McBride treats emotion from a detached, almost objective narratorial perspective that turns the characters into allegorical souls. Perhaps the most poignant story of the collection is “The Christmas Dance.” The story tells of a Columbia PhD student researching an

unrecognized group of soldiers. To write his thesis, the student interviews two men f r o m Harlem about their wartime experiences. men, The reluctant to relive these painful memories, release their story in small pieces in a way that reveals the irrevocable emotional damage inflicted on these men. Each section of the story dwells on the mysterious “Christmas dance” that seems to hold even more significance than their own OOKS AD B accounts of the events of ERHE F RIV O Y S TE their battle. At the end of COUR the story, it is evident that the most influential aspect of their experience is not

Col3trane Tsarina Self-Released

BY AJ STELLA Sun Staff Writer

Cole Basta, known as Col3trane is a London native already starting to make a name for himself in the English hip hop scene at age 18. He released his first single “New Chain” on May 19 of this year. The vibe of this song set the stage for his entire debut album. It is slower than most rap songs we hear in the states, and has more of an R&B vibe to it. The beats, while very rhythmic, are relaxed and subtle, leaving room for his lyrics to come through. The general feel of “New Chain” is a

bit melancholy, as it starts out slow with melodious beats, and is later paired with his laid-back vocals.

His debut album, Tsarina, came out less than six months later, on Nov. 2. “New Chain” is featured in the mixtape, as are six other songs, an intro, interlude and an outro. His album has one wholesome feel to it, the same feel we get from listening to his first single. With an intro and outro, it is an experience to listen to the album all the way through. By doing so, one can appreciate the continuity he has throughout his songs. Both the intro and the interlude, entitled

O

O

O

“Tsarina” and “Marie Antoinette” respectively, start out with a woman speaking in French to a soft underplay of a somber tune. He sings about a powerful woman figure, almost looking up to her. The outro also has the somber beginning, but lacks the French.

Other songs on the album, like “New Chain,” also refrain from hiding the lyrics with busy melodies. “Mario Kart” is about driving around with a girl, not really worrying about anything else. The carefree image these lyrics paint is represented by the relaxed beat they play over.

Col3trane’s debut album promotes a sense of tranquility in its listeners. It is the perfect type of music for listening to after a night out, to unwind with your closest friends. Or to listen to when you’re driving late at night, with no other cars on the road.

Col3trane’s most popular song, “Penelope,” has over 500,000 plays on Spotify. He is starting to get his name out there, for good reason. This tune, which you can’t help but sing along to, starts out about a

the violence or politics of the war, but the way the loss of life has inflicted deep emotional wounds. It is the loss of fellow human life that equalizes these men, who had experienced racial prejudice among their peers. McBride uses this equalizing power of emotion, or rather pain, to demonstrate unity among all men, even where there is racial and cultural disunity.

Despite this reduction of humans to emotion, however, McBride is sure to demonstrate the power of racial identity and how it reverberates through American history. Whether in his use of dialect and specific stories of racial injustice or the cohesiveness of the racial identities in Harlem, McBride is sure to acknowledge the significance of identity and the way it simultaneously can be estranging and uniting in cultural and social spheres.

Throughout the stories, emotion is closely connected to human connection and the way social groups unite over common threads of experience. It is through this fusion of human emotion, connection and fallibility that arouses such poignant nostalgia in FiveCarat Soul that ultimately calls for a deeper sense of cultural empathy.

O girl that used to be in the narrator’s life, as Col3trane sings “we had a beautiful chemistry.” At first, it seems this song is about a breakup, but with an interesting bridge later on, things change. The beat becomes more aggressive, as do the lyrics, “I can’t trust you, we through.”

Then the beat switches a third time and he is back to singing “Penelope come back and check on me. I need you to rescue what’s left of me.” The complicated nature of the lyrics are complemented by the everchanging melodies he uses in the background. Col3trane pairs his lyrics with beats that repre-

sent the meaning and overall vibe of his songs.

Col3trane is an authentic example of what British hip hop has evolved into from its original roots. The genre is continuing to branch off on its own, differentiating more mellow songs like Col3trane’s from songs that are more energetic like M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes”. It will be interesting to see where British hip hop is in ten years. If Col3trane is any indicator: it is headed in the right direction.

ing to this magnitude of opponent.”

After earning the surprise nod to start, Boeheim showed poise playing in his first ever game at the collegiate level. Prior to the game, the forward was expected to be a sixth man off the bench.

“I was in the first unit in the last few days of practice, but I didn’t know I was starting until [Coach Earl] told me today,” said Boeheim, who was greeted with cheers when announced as a starter. “The first few minutes I was a little nervous, but after the first possession, it felt like any other game.”

While it is just any other game, Earl is quick to point out how unique Syracuse is amongst its other opponents. In terms of arena, style of play and size of players, the Orange is an outlier

on the Red’s 2017-18 schedule.

“Frankly we’re not going to be playing another team these like this again, so we’ll try to move past it,” Earl said. “We play Binghamton next and they play a more traditional man-to-man.”

Despite the loss, some praise from the second winningest coach in NCAA Division I men’s basketball history should go a long way in helping move past the loss.

“I think Cornell is good, I think they’re going to be better than last year,” the elder Boeheim said. “They had trouble with our defense, but their man-to-man offense is very good and difficult to play against.”

Cornell makes its home debut against Binghamton this coming Monday, Nov. 13.

coming in the final minute.

“They are obviously very excited,” Cornell head coach Mike Schafer ’86 said about his team, which remains the last undefeated squad in the nation. “How could they not be?”

The guys will remember [these] kinds of games,” Schafer added. “That’s why there’s such a big rivalry — the games are always like that.”

Harvard got off to the quick start, opening the game’s scoring 6:03 into the first period after a defensive breakdown in the Red’s defensive end led to a brutal turnover and a gimme goal for Henry Bowlby. It was the first goal that got past Cornell freshman goalie Matt Galajda all weekend.

The Crimson would strike again just under 10 minutes later after a scrum on top of Galajda eventually pushed the puck to an open Ty Pelton-Byce. Galajda, who seemingly had the entirety of the ice’s skaters apart from PeltonByce on top of him, had no shot of reestablishing himself to make the save. The goal was reviewed, but the result was to the disdain of Lynah.

“We had to make some adjustments,” Schafer said about his team’s performance after going down 2-0. “They made us play the kind of game that we didn’t want to play tonight, and it took

us a while to get going” Facing the real threat of heading into the locker room down a pair, sophomore defenseman Yanni Kaldis erased that worry on the power play, rocketing a shot from the top of the circles past Harvard goalie Merrick Madsen, who was unbeatable until that point.

Using the momentum of Kaldis’ goal, Jeff Malott came right out of the gates in the second period to tie things up at two. Just over a minute played into the middle frame, the sophomore collected the puck at his own blue line and didn’t stop until he had powered his way through the Crimson defense and deked past Madsen.

Harvard’s two-goal lead had vanished within a span of 119 seconds of game time.

“That was huge,” Malott said, referring to his and Kaldis’ goal creating the succinct swing in momentum. “[Madsen] was standing on his head. We were peppering him with shots but it didn’t seem like we could get anything through until Yanni shot from the point there.”

After that point, the teams combined for 10 penalties, but solid play from each netminder kept opposing offenses from finding twine. That is, until McCrea teed up.

[the zone],” said Cornell head coach Brian Earl. “You can give them an idea of how long, how athletic, how fast they close out on passes that might be open, but you just can’t prepare for it.”

While the offense struggled to penetrate the zone, the Red did keep Syracuse’s offensive threats in check in the first half. Defense has been one of Earl’s focuses in his second year as head coach, especially since last season, the Red ranked No. 7 in the league in scoring defense and allowed opponents to connect on 46 percent of their shots.

On Friday, Cornell held Syracuse to just 33 points on 31 percent shooting in the first half, allowing the Red to head into the locker room down 11 points — well within striking range.

That wouldn’t last for long.

From the opening whistle of the second half, Syracuse began flexing its muscles. The Orange orchestrated a 16-4 run to open the second frame to build a 49-26 lead. And as Syracuse locked in and knocked down shots, Cornell began to panic, launching up

“I think we had trouble adjusting to the magnitude of the opponent and in particular the way they guard.”

Head Coach Brian Earl multiple 3-pointers seconds into the shot clock instead of its more careful and calculated approach in the first half.

“You just can’t replicate playing against Syracuse,” Earl said. “In general I think we had trouble adjusting to the magnitude of the opponent and in

particular the way they guard.”

Aside from Boeheim, junior Matt Morgan provided the only other consistent stream of scoring throughout the night.

The guard totaled 14 points on 33 percent shooting to go with two assists and three rebounds.

“He’s been in big games and it’s nothing new to him,” Earl said. “He didn’t have the wideeyed glare that most of our team had. He’s capable of making plays and performing at that level.”

While Morgan has played in other big games, several of the Red’s players were making their debuts and had to do so in the Carrier Dome against a talented, well-coached team.

“It’s a jarring experience,” Earl said of new guys getting their first taste of college basketball against Syracuse.

“Jimmy made a couple of shots, but I think in general, we had a problem just adjustSee M. BASKETBALL page 10

Get out the brooms | Cornell swept its Ivy rivals at Lynah Rink this weekend, blanking Dartmouth on Friday night before a thrilling win over archrival Harvard on Saturday.

the referees, Cornell was gifted a faceoff inside the Harvard zone with 17 seconds to play in the third period.

Junior forward Beau Starrett won the faceoff back to McCrea, who misplayed the puck while seeing Benjamin Solin come out of the Harvard box over his shoulder to end the 5-on-3 opportunity.

But McCrea was able to regain his composure and keep the puck in the Harvard zone by just a matter of millimeters.

Then, some strong play by Starrett, freshman Morgan Barron and sophomore Jeff Malott deep in the Harvard end ultimately gave Barron the puck alone, searching for the open man while behind the Harvard net. Barron looked up to see a wide-open McCrea creeping toward the goal mount, howling and slamming his

stick on the ice demanding a pass.

Barron obliged. McCrea didn’t miss.

“I saw that there was not much time left so I decided to sneak in between the hash marks,” McCrea said. “Morgan gave me a great play and I was able to find the space in the low blocker.”

In a game that featured fish, and then a slew of goals, it was the storybook ending this game and the sold-out Lynah crowd of 4,267 deserved. It was also Cornell’s first win over Harvard in its last seven tries, with the last win coming back when the team’s current seniors were freshmen.

Red Falls Short in Boeheim Battle

By JOSH ZHU and ADAM BRONFIN Sun Assistant Sports Editor and Sun Senior Editor

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said before Friday night’s game that he wanted his son to play well but for his team to get the win.

He certainly got his wish.

With his dad coaching from the opposing sidelines, Cornell freshman forward Jimmy

Boeheim totaled 11 points and five rebounds. His first possession 3-pointer gave Cornell men’s basketball an early lead but Syracuse pulled away fast, issuing the Red a 77-45 loss on college basketball’s opening night.

“You hope your son does well, but you don’t really focus on that and just focus on the game,” the elder Boeheim said after the game. “I did think he did a good job of getting a foot forward —

it’s hard to do that against our defense.”

The vaunted Syracuse 2-3 zone visibly bothered Cornell throughout the night, forcing contested shots and numerous turnovers. Cornell finished the game shooting 25 percent from the field and coughed up the ball 15 times.
