Throwback Thursday | Members of Black Students United held a “guerilla style” protest in Trillium on this day last year.

Ruth Dreifuss, former president of Switzerland and current commissioner of an organization promoting “humane” drug policy, visited some of the region’s most marginalized communities on Wednesday and voiced her support for Mayor “Some people Svante Myrick’s ’09 plan will never go to to reduce heroin overa social service, doses.

Over lunch at Madeline’s on the Commons, Dreifuss and Myrick also discussed The Ithaca Plan, a four-pillar proposal introduced in February that aims to reduce heroin deaths in Ithaca. The plan has attracted national media attention because of its controverial recommendation that Ithaca create supervised injection sites, where drug users can shoot up a small amount of heroin under the watch of medical professionals.

Dreifuss lauded the plan, saying Myrick was aiming “to leave nobody behind” and “to find a way, even very original ways, to enter into contact See SWISS page 4

OneYear Later:BSU Demands Stand University has granted some requests; leaders say‘struggle goes on’

By JOSH GIRSKY Sun News Editor

Today marks the one year anniversary of when members of Black Students United stood on tables in Trillium and shouted chants to disrupt daily life, before delivering a set of demands to Day Hall that would have lasting effects on Cornell.

The protest aimed to show that the racial discrimination widely publicized at Yale, University of Missouri and Ithaca College was also occurring at Cornell, according to Delmar Fears ’19, a member of the BSU political action committee.

Fears recalled various stories of racial discrimination on and around campus. She told the story of a person of color being turned away from a party based on her skin color and described when a professor referred to a black student in class as the “black girl.”

Jaylexia Clark ’19, another member of the BSU political action committee, described an incident where people threw glass bottles at a black student in Collegetown, calling him Trayvon, soon after Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida.

“I’m actually from Florida,” she said. “That wasn’t a joke to us. Back home when that happened … A lot of my friends and I didn’t want to go to class. We didn’t want to

leave our houses.”

Clark said she hoped to escape discrimination when she decided to go to school up north but was not successful when she arrived at Cornell.

“That type of malice is everywhere,” she said. “You can’t go to one place and expect to escape from it.”

Demands

After the demonstration in Trillium last year, members of BSU walked to Day Hall and delivered a letter that listed 14 demands, actions that the group said the University should take if it was serious about upholding its motto of “any person, any study.”

“It is time for Cornell to be on the right side of history,” the letter read.

According to BSU Co-President Amber Aspinall ’17, the initial response by the administration was positive. Vice President of Student and Campus Life Ryan Lombardi and President Elizabeth Garrett attended a dinner at Ujaama that night with many members of BSU. BSU leadership recalled that they were told some things on the list would take longer See BSU page 4

Students Clash on Restructuring S.A.

By MATT ORMSETH Sun Staff Writer

MICHAEL WENYE LI / SUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Open discussion | S.A. members listen to student concerns at a restructuring forum Wednesday evening.

Student Assembly President Jordan Berger ’17 opened Wednesday night’s restructuring forum by asking students to raise their hands if they thought the S.A. was representative in its current state. Not one single person raised a hand.

Berger explained that the forum was prompted by last year’s addition of a first-generation student representative. The S.A. fielded requests from other minority groups on campus for representatives of their own but ultimately decided to rework the assembly’s

existing structure instead of tacking on more representatives.

“It doesn’t make sense to just keep arbitrarily adding seats until we have a conversation about the structure of the S.A.,” Berger said after the meeting.

At the forum, the S.A. responded to a litany of grievances from students concerned and frustrated with a governing body they called opaque, unaccountable and inegalitarian.

Some students called for representation of all minority groups on campus, regardless of size. Seamus Murphy ’16, president emeritus of Cornell Undergraduate Veterans Association, said there were only

22 student veterans like him on campus, arguing that they should not be shunted aside simply because they make up less than a percentage point of Cornell’s overall population.

However, Weihong Rong ’18, College of Arts and Sciences representative and a Sun designer, asked where the S.A. would draw the line.

“Even if you actively seek out the marginalized groups on campus and areas that are of concern, you’re essentially trying to look for an exhaustive list — and you can’t find that exhaustive list,” he said.

English Prof Facilitates ‘Civil’ Debates on Contentious Issues

By KYLE OEFELEIN Sun Staff Writer

“The University is the last remaining utopia,” said Prof. Dagmawi Woubshet, English, quoting Edward Said — a late Palestinian Columbia University literature professor. “Without being too romantic, I believe the classroom is one space where real difficult conversation can take place,” Woubshet said.

At Harvard University, Woubshet said he originally planned on studying diplomacy, anticipating attending law school and eventually working for Amnesty International or the United Nations. He explained that his early interest in politics was partially fueled by his childhood in Ethiopia.

Living under a communist government for the first 13 years of his life made politics “part of our everyday diet,” he said.

However, the second semester of his junior year, Woubshet said he took “Literatures of New World Africa,” his first ever literature course and one that “blew his mind.”

“Ultimately, I think there are these moments where students — be it in a classroom, be it any experience during college — are totally redirected as to what they thought they would do,” he said.

Woubshet called the first day of his literature class

his “inspiration,” reflecting on how the professor framed the course with one of Woubshet’s favorite songs.’

“The first day the professor played one of my favorite Bob Marley songs,” he said. “It’s ‘Babylon System’ from the Survival album, and then for the next 45 minutes, he talked about [the song] in a way that was totally inaccessible to me, using theory.”

Woubshet said he was inspired to learn how to talk about the things he loved with as much sophistication and depth as his professor demonstrated in the introductory lecture.

“The very idea that you can start … a literature course in an English department with a Bob Marley lyric and then expand and frame the course using that lyric — I thought that was so powerful,” he said.

Even though he shifted his focus from politics to literature, Woubshet maintains that his initial training PHOTOS BY in history and politiCORINNE KENWOOD / cal science still influSUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER ences the way he thinks about literature.

“Like how literature can intervene in a public sphere and talk about issues like AIDS and power relations, and I think literature can be a major conduit to think about these things,” he said.

In addition to teaching African American literature, Woubshet said he equips his students with ways to dis-

cuss race in American society, such as “how race intersects with other markers of identity like gender, sexuality and class.”

“If a literature class can give [students] some way, without being prescriptive, without being polemical, to deal with pressing issues, at least they have a vocabulary, and they have a perspective to critically contend with these issues,” he said.

Woubshet said he advises students who pursue careers in medicine, law and public health policy, among many other diverse fields, citing critical thinking and analysis as important skills that help students succeed.

“The ways in which an English major has prepared [students] for all that they are doing now, that in itself to me is a testament that this is a major that is capacious, it’s expansive in terms of its reach,” he said.

Woubshet also highlighted the unique approach to learning he takes in a classroom setting.

“The sense that I have as a teacher is that I’m also a student in the classroom, and to be open to the insights that my students bring to the class“Without being too room, I think that romantic, I believe the gives a different clasroom is one space orientation,” he said. “It’s another where real difficult way of breaking conversations can take down the hierarchy between the place.” professor and the Prof. Dogmawi Woubshet student — the idea that education is only one way — it’s breaking down that paradigm.”

By breaking down these barriers, Woubshet said he allows his classroom to be a place where contentious and difficult thoughts can be expressed, an interaction often made difficult in a public sphere.

“As we’re seeing in this political election … a public space where different clashing ideas can be critically analyzed,” he said. “You leave the classroom and the civility still remains. That’s a rare thing.”

BSU Reflects on Demands One Year After Demonstration BSU

than others, but administrators did not say the demands could not be accomplished.

Others on campus were very critical of the letter.

Soon after the demands were delivered, they were leaked onto a Cornell subreddit, where many people criticized the letter’s content.

“These demands are ridiculous and exemplify the intellectual fairness and freedom of universities being assaulted by fear mongering activists,” said Reddit user gat45.

One demand that was particularly controversial asked that the Cornell Plantations be renamed. While some viewed the name as a symbol of America’s racist history, others saw the request for a different name as a ridiculous, and an ask that would have no real impact on campus diversity.

Some Success

Despite criticism, Cornell’s Board of Trustees fulfilled the demand to rename the Plantations the Cornell Botanic Gardens this fall.

However, BSU received nearly no credit in any University announcement about the renaming, with

administrators saying the change was made to better reflect the area’s biodiversity.

However, Fears said BSU was aware that Christopher Dunn, director of Cornell Plantations, was exploring a name change, and they included it in the list of demands because they knew it had a high probability of being met.

Students Struggle to Reshape S.A. Mayor Meets With Swiss Leader, Discusses Drug Policy S.A.

Continued from page 1

Other students disagreed, saying under-representation of marginalized groups remains the larger issue.

“A big concern that we’re all having is that we’re going to keep adding chairs, and it’s just going to get way too huge — I don’t really see that as a problem,” Ana Bordallo ’20 said. “As a Pacific Islander, I want to see more people like me come through here. I want to make sure they have a place here by the time I leave.”

David Gouldthorpe ’18 described economic barriers to the political process at Cornell.

He said he works 15 hours a week at an on-campus job to help support his mother and younger brother, which is why does not have the time or money to run for a seat on S.A. “A lot of people get a few hundred dollars wired to them by their parents every week, whereas I have to wire money home every month to help cover bills,” he said. “I don’t have a whole lot to spare for promo items. I don’t have a lot of time to do chalk drawings.”

Involvement in the political

process at Cornell requires significant social capital, and popularity comes at a cost, Gouldthorpe said.

“I’m not as popular because I don’t go to these social events,” he said. “I can’t pay membership dues to fraternities or Greek life that help people with connections. It is by design that poorer

“There’s a lot of people who are just angry or have no idea what’s actually done.”

Samir Durvasula ’17 students like me are shut out.”

Julia Montejo ’17, vice president of diversity and inclusion, acknowledged that the S.A. needs to do more to include lowincome students in the political system, but she said it is difficult for representatives to step outside their personal experiences when making legislative decisions.

“If you’re not living a reality, it’s hard for you to sympathize with it,” she said. “You’re going to homogenize that reality when you talk about it.”

A number of students said they have little idea what the S.A.

actually does and they have little to no contact with their college representatives.

Berger said representatives were required to reach out to their constituencies at least once a semester but admitted that this often happened at the end of the term, just before the deadline.

Students were visibly frustrated with a system they characterized as reactive, rather than proactive.

“We shouldn’t have to ‘get cozy’ with anyone,” Gouldthorpe said, in response to S.A. member Gabe Kaufman ’18 saying he should reach out to his representatives to “get cozy” with them.

Samir Durvasula ’17, a member of the S.A. diversity committee, said he noticed a “huge disillusionment with the S.A.” after talking to students. He added that he is not disillusioned with the S.A. himself, but the community’s grievances remain a concern.

“There’s a lot of people who are just angry or have no idea of what’s actually being done,” he said. “I think that’s something that really needs to be addressed.”

with all the people who are in need.”

“You can always find solutions for 80 percent of the population — that’s quite easy,” Dreifuss said.

The 20 percent “who are not integrated,” she added, “these are the people you have the duty to find original pragmatic ways to enter into contact with them and to bring them the services they need.”

Myrick said he was “thrilled” to meet Dreifuss six months ago, especially given that the approach he wants to bring to Ithaca was “first pioneered” in Switzerland.

“If the United States had done what Switzerland did 20 years ago, we would have two thirds fewer overdose deaths in america today,” Myrick said. “If we had followed Switzerland’s lead, there would have been 5,000 fewer funerals last year.”

Dreifuss said Wednesday was “a very dense day” as she traveled from a prison to the homeless encampment known as “the jungle,” and then to the Southern Tier AIDS Program.

Dreifuss she said was particularly impressed by an employee at the Southern Tier AIDS Program who had previously been addicted himself. People who have personally been affected by drugs,

Dreifuss said, are the city’s best allies in reducing heroin deaths.

In her experience in Switzerland, Dreifuss said, “the people directly concerned were our best teachers.”

“I know nothing or not a lot about drugs,” she continued. “I know nothing or not a lot about sex work. But I can tell you what I learned through the people who are consuming drugs, what I learned the people who are sex workers, what I learned through the first gay organization fighting against AIDS ... because they knew a lot.”

Addicts and drug consumers, Dreifuss said, must have access to services at the street-level, because many people will not make the decision to go to a hospital or to an office for help. Instead, she said, aid workers and others must come to them.

Dreifuss said there are lawyers in Denmark who ride around Copenhagen’s streets on bicycles with coffee, snacks and law books, from which they advise people who “were not able to go to an office of a lawyer, but were able to speak to a street lawyer.”

Editorial

Bursting the Cornell Bubble DONALD TRUMP’S ELECTION CAME AS A SHOCK to many, including a significant number of Cornell students. His victory is surprising for many reasons: Trump will be the first president with no formal political or military experience before entering the White House; he began his campaign with a promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border and have Mexico pay for it; throughout his campaign, Trump has made racist, sexist, Islamophobic and otherwise hateful comments.

Yet it should be less of a surprise that rural voters overwhelmingly supported Trump, especially since the Democratic establishment and progressive elites have dismissed them throughout the campaign and for the past several years. This should not surprise Cornell students and faculty, who live in deep blue Ithaca but are surrounded by a sea of red. Every county adjoining Tompkins County — which Hillary won with more than 60 percent of votes — supported Trump.

In our Cornell bubble — one that is overwhelmingly liberal — we sometimes forget about the importance of engaging with those who are politically different from us.

In this election cycle in particular, many of us neglected rural voters and did not hear their growing frustration with government. Even post-election, many Trump protesters are writing off those who voted for him, without making the effort to understand why Trump’s message resonated with specific groups. Trump’s election is a rude awakening that the Cornell bubble often insulates us from the fact that the ideas and innovations generated at universities like Cornell are not always connecting with people outside the bubble. Liberals will not simply get their way by continuing to support policies and candidates that do not consider rural Americans. Republican Congressman Tom Reed (R-N.Y.), for example, resoundingly defeated Democratic challenger John Plumb, even though 70.8 percent of Tompkins County residents cast their ballot for Plumb.

However, acknowledging the frustration of rural voters and understanding their motivations for voting for Trump is not equivalent to normalizing our president-elect’s policies and actions. Let’s not mince words: Trump represents an appalling brand of racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia that rightly frightens many people on our campus, and some of the areas that Trump won are sites of deep-seated and dangerous vitriol. Even if not every Trump supporter is racist, all of them decided to support him either in spite of or because of his hateful speech.

Yet to move forward, these are some of the very people that we — members of a private university privileged with access to some of this nation’s best educational opportunities — can no longer afford to ignore. We must bridge this country’s widening political fissures, the most prominent of which is the rural-urban divide. Of course, not all rural voters are conservative or support Trump, just as not all urban voters are liberal or Democrats. But rural voters are feeling increasingly ignored by their government representatives and expressed this disconnect with a vote for Trump, and it is in our mutual interest to understand those outside our Cornell bubble.

Serendipitous Musings

And SoWe Love

week has passed since my initial feelings of anger, pain and shock over the election. There are people who have already so eloquently summed up their thoughts on the results and shared in my grief. But I can’t forget that morning, feeling the heaviness in my heart, and thinking, I’ve never been so disappointed to call myself an American right now. As I walked to class, there was a melancholy that permeated the campus. Students’ heads were bowed. The air was quiet. We were all feeling so much, trying to make sense of the turn of events.

The sadness and disappointment was almost tangible. I returned home from classes and cried.

I know that there are people who criticize these “liberal reactions” to the election.

There are people who say we are handling the election results poorly. There are people on campus who have already criticized the cry-in and walkout and are tired of our whining.

The truth is, I don’t care. I don’t care if people say Trump won’t be “that bad.” I don’t care if people say we are creating an even bigger divide by ostracizing Trump supporters and voters. I don’t care about each and every excuse people are coming up with to make us feel bad for fearing what the country will be like for the following years to come.

And it’s because my sadness for the people Trump has continually attacked and oppressed is overwhelming. As a woman, he has enraged me more times than I can count. As a human being, he has driven me to the brink of madness. But the only reason I’m not escaping this country in order to bathe in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s glory is because there is too much at stake here. I will not leave the people who will now be increasingly attacked for who they love, where they come from, what color their skin is or who they worship.

Hate crimes immediately escalated the day Trump was elected the next president of the United States. Messages about lynchings were sent to black students at the University of Pennsylvania. A dugout wall in Wellsville was painted with a swastika and the words “Make America White Again.” A man in Ann Arbor, Michigan approached a Muslim student and told her he would set her on fire with his lighter if she didn’t remove her hijab. The message, “Black lives don’t matter and neither does your votes” was painted onto a wall in Durham, North Carolina. A high school student in Redding, California handed out “deportation letters” to half a dozen students. The outcome of this election has had immediate impacts — ones that have brought our country back decades.

There are no justifications, excuses or explanations for these hate crimes. We have,

indeed, brought America back.

But this is not our America. This is a place known for its freedom, tolerance and diversity. More than 300 incidents of intimidation and harassment have been reported now. These are just the hate crimes that have been brought to the public’s attention — there are many more that have occurred and will continue to because of Trump’s presidency. The fact that such a despicable man will take a position held by men like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama pains me.

I am, at the moment, not able to fully understand people’s motives behind voting for Donald Trump. I know acquaintances and family members who made that decision, and I am trying not to hold onto so much hate when I think of that.

That’s where I’m hoping to end up. With everything that has happened — since the very beginning of both candidate’s campaigns — I’m holding onto the strand of hope that love trumps hate. I remember watching the Democratic National Convention and being struck by how unified it was. The speakers talked about hope, of coming together, of moving forward. The Republican National Convention radiated fear and division. The contrast was so great that I knew the only hopeful vision for America was one of unity.

Fear is not something we can allow to infiltrate our lives. We need to love and support one another. Never has a man who publicly expressed such intolerance, hate, fear, racism and sexism become president.

Yet again, never has there been a time when an outpouring of such immense grief was expressed after the results of an election.

This collective grief has strengthened the people who want to move forward progressively. We feel each other’s pain and know that the country is in danger if we don’t stand up for what is just. The hate crimes that have occurred throughout this country because of Trump’s victory are disturbing and horrifyingly real. America is better than that. We can not continue to move backwards, allowing humans to be ashamed for what they wear on their heads or where their parents came from.

A professor in one of my English classes said, “Never forget how you felt that first day.” I don’t think I’m the only person in this country who finds it impossible to forget, no matter how blissful ignorance would be. Because together we must love. We won’t promote fear or hatred or violence. We love.

Reflection,Recovery and Responsibility

t’s been a difficult week. Many of us, including myself, were left distraught by the election of Donald Trump as our next president. It was disturbing to see that his candidacy was not impeded by his flagrant violation of democratic norms, tolerance and simple human decency. Most notably, his admission to sexual assault and his bigoted attacks on Muslims, Latinos, immigrants were apparently no obstacle to achieving the most powerful office in the world.

In response, the mood on our campus, and across the country, has been dour. I entirely reject those who have caricatured students as “coddled” or incapable of handling the real world. This result was a big deal, and it came as a shock to many. For many, it’s personal. With the coming Trump administration, undocumented immigrants feel their entire lives at risk of upheaval. The Muslim community faces the prospect of a president who has previously called for a ban on Muslim entry, and a domestic registry Muslims. LGBTQ individuals see a Vice President who has endorsed incredibly harmful conversion therapy. These are just a few examples.

Hence, it’s perfectly understandable that so many of us are upset. We’ve all needed a moment to reflect on an outcome that shook our understanding of the nation we live in.

The painful lesson that we’ve learned is that we can never be complacent. Progress is never given, and we must continually work for it.

And a lot of us did. I want to take a brief moment to commend the students who dedicated themselves to fighting for victory in

our democracy. While we came up short this time, I will never forget the dedicated individuals who registered voters, made phone calls, traveled to Pennsylvania for Hillary, drove classmates to the polls here in Ithaca, and spread awareness of just how important voting was. This is what makes a difference. It’s the type of participation that we are obligated to promote in our communities and all of our own lives.

For the past few days, we have seen another huge outpouring of energy. Thousands have turned out on campus to protest Trump’s victory, joined by countless more in other universities and cities across the United States. I have heard some slight frustration that all of these protesters had not participated more in the electoral process. But this is not the time for recriminations. We must present a united front, and protests are a necessary part of that. They push back on a narrative that this country actually wanted President Trump, and serve to speak out against hate. It is important, however, not to waste this energy. We are at the point where it is essential to channel our emotions into the broader work of activism and organization.

This isn’t always as sexy or glamorous as a protest. It involves dedication even when no one else is listening, and demands long days and long nights to make a difference. Further, there are many ways to effect social change.

While I may be biased, I think one crucial avenue is through the realm of electoral politics. After all, Trump is the next president because he triumphed in our electoral system.

Trying to reclaim our government does not

mean waiting until 2020. The work of defeating Trump, and his allied forces, through electoral change begins immediately.

Take notice, for example, that one of the underreported stories of November 8 is that pro-criminal justice reform candidates won District Attorney races in many major cities.

Local elections will begin next year, here in Ithaca and across the country, and these warrant our attention. Even more important, however, is 2018. This midterm election will feature every member of the House of Representatives, a third of the U.S. Senate, a majority of governorships, and most state legislators up for reelection. It will set the stage for congressional redistricting from 2020, and allow us to provide a major break on President Trump’s agenda. I hope that every person who is sad, upset and angry today will let those emotions guide their actions as our next midterm election approaches.

The federal government might not be on the side of progress for the next few years. But change can, and must, begin on a grassroots and local level. This is true even beyond the realm of democratic engagement. We need to start building up a broad progressive coalition for change; one that recognizes the multifaceted ways to fight for justice. With regard to climate change, for example, we can continue to push our University to be on the forefront of a transition to a carbon-neutral world. If reproductive rights come under attack, we can support the organizations that help women continue to access the care they need.

When racial minorities come under attack by discriminatory policies and an newly assertive

spree of hate crimes, we are obliged to defend them, listen and amplify their voices.

I will not lie to you and pretend the next four years will be easy. A few observers have expressed hope that a Trump presidency might not reach our worst fears. I want to believe this. If President Trump is genuinely committed to his purported goals of reducing corruption and protecting the middle class, Democrats will stand with him. Yet, consider me skeptical. Those who have urged us to give Trump a shot may find that he has already thrown away his shot. With his elevation of Steve Bannon to chief strategist, Trump is about to bring white nationalism into the corridors of power in Washington.

Moreover, at a moment when he should still be basking in victory, Trump has continued to bizarre launch attacks on the free press.

Ultimately, we have no real reason to believe that Trump’s presidency will be substantially different from his alarming candidacy.

So yes, it will be hard. We are about to have a president who threatens to enable the darkest segments of our society. Remember this, however. Trump lost the popular vote by over one million votes. Only 29 percent of Americans believe he has a “mandate” to implement his agenda. We still have this upper-hand, and we are obligated to make the best of it. We must never allow Trump’s dangerous initiatives to be normalized.

I

, like most people, got 2016 very, very wrong. I thought last Tuesday would be a continuation of the status quo –– a third term for President Obama. Instead, I, along with the rest of America, was sorely mistaken.

We have now elected a reality television star as our president. And, not surprisingly, this reality television star has transformed the presidential transition process into a rerun of The Apprentice. As many have pointed out, the Trump team did not expect to win last Tuesday night. They too believed that they were heading for a loss –– and as a result, the campaign put little thought into a presidential transition.

Now the race for cabinet posts has turned into an all-out knife fight, as contenders for various posts fight it out in the anarchy that is Trump’s universe. And, quite frankly, the vast majority of potential cabinet nominees are either unqualified for the positions they are being considered for, are too radical to be leading federal bureaucratic departments, or both.

Let’s start with the nominees for Secretary of State.

Currently, the front-runner is former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani: a man with absolutely zero qualifications in the field of diplomacy. Mayor Giuliani has no ties to the State Department, has never served in an official diplomatic role, is not currently a member of a foreign policy think-tank, has never served on a foreign relations Congressional committee and has no formal education in foreign affairs. In other words, the former mayor would be one of the most unqualified individuals in American history to lead the State Department if nominated to the post.

Yet, this is not the only troubling part of the mayor’s resume. Recent reporting has uncovered that Giuliani received speakers’ fees from groups in Venezuela, Qatar and Iran. Just let that sink in for a second. Now, what if it had been uncovered during the campaign that Hillary Clinton had given a speech to an Iranian group? Could you imagine the outrage from the Trump world?

But Giuliani is not the only candidate in the running for

Trump’s Cabinet

Secretary of State, as President-elect Trump is also considering former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton. Unlike Giuliani, Ambassador Bolton is actually qualified for the position, as he has served in numerous State Department roles and has a vast amount of foreign policy expertise. However, Mr. Bolton’s foreign policy views are among the most radical in the field.

A firm interventionist, the ambassador believes that the U.S. should immediately launch a preemptive military strike on Iran –– an action that would plunge the entire Middle East into war. Bolton’s interventionist views are not only dangerous for global security, but also counter the more non-interventionist foreign policy platform of the President-elect.

Perhaps the only qualified, rational individual that Trump is currently considering for Secretary State is Senator Bob Corker (R – Tenn.), the chair of the Senate Foreign Affairs

Quite frankly, the vast majority of potential cabinet nominees are either unqualified for the positions they are being considered for, are too radical to be leading federal bureaucratic departments, or both.

Committee. Senator Corker not only has the experience to lead the State Department, but is also well-respected by the foreign policy community and foreign leaders.

Beyond the State Department, Trump’s selection of Breitbart chief Steven Bannon as Counselor to the President is also highly troubling. Mr. Bannon is a figure of the alt-right, and has routinely made racist and Islamophobic statements.

Mr. Bannon’s extremist views represent not only the worst of the conservative movement, but the worst of America.

The President-elect is also considering New Jersey

Governor Chris Christie for a cabinet post. Though it is unclear what role the governor will serve in the new administration, most suspect that Christie’s allegiance to Trump throughout the campaign will be rewarded somehow. This is also incredibly dangerous. The President-elect has pledged to “drain the swamps” of corruption in Washington –– yet at the same time, he is considering one of the most corrupt politicians in the nation for a cabinet post. Recent revelations have provided clear evidence that the governor was well aware of the George Washington bridge closure in 2013. This closure is the definition of corruption, and Governor Christie should play no role in either the Trump Administration or national politics in general.

Finally, Mr. Trump is also considering former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich for a cabinet post as well. First, and foremost, Mr. Gingrich has not served in a political capacity for nearly two decades. The former Speaker has little understanding of how the modern bureaucracy functions, and has been routinely criticized by former House colleagues for his lack of leadership skills. Furthermore, Speaker Gingrich’s confusing and often irrational behavior (please refer to his 2012 presidential run in which he called for the establishment of a human colony on the moon) makes him a very dangerous choice for a cabinet appointment.

Overall, the conservative movement is not without qualified candidates for the many cabinet positions that must be filled. Furthermore, Trump’s selection of RNC Chair Reince Priebus as White House Chief of Staff shows that the President-elect is willing to name rational thinking individuals to senior administration positions. It is with this knowledge that I hope that the President-elect is willing to avoid making careless appointments.

On Moving On From Mistakes I

’ve made it a habit of putting falsely serious titles on columns that are pretty much six paragraph jokes. My hope is always that some sentimental person out there clicks on the column hoping to shed an afternoon tear, but really just walks away semiamused or at least somewhat confused. I’m excited to someday write the titles to articles your mom shares on Facebook. You won’t believe what I’ll come up with. But to be honest, I’m tired of all of this. Jokes can be funny, but this isn’t The Onion. Lots of people are reeling right now, but unfortunately you’ve come to the wrong place if you’re looking for a laugh. This column is on mistakes and the powerful repercussions they carry.

I’m a man of relatively simple pleasures. I like to eat Greek yogurt in the mornings and take a walk around the Arts Quad before my 2:30 class everyday. My life, in all honesty, can be pretty easy most of the time. As much as I like to complain about all the work I have to do and all the pressure I feel like I’m under, I’m still somehow at one of the best schools in the country studying a subject I genuinely care about. What’s there to complain about?

A few days back, I went to my fraternity house to eat dinner. It was just a regular day in my life. Nothing had really changed. I wasn’t really feeling whatever food the chef had made, so I decided to just eat Rice Krispies. There’s nothing quite like a snap, crackle and pop to wake you up from your skewed sense of reality.

I poured my cereal from the industrial sized bag of Rice Krispies and made my way to the milk dispenser to finish the job.

I pushed down on the handle, but no milk came out. No big deal, just have to change the bag. I went to the fridge to find another bag of milk, because real heroes don’t wear capes. To my dismay, there was no milk left. We had run out of milk. This never happens. This wasn’t supposed to happen. What do I do now? What happens to my cereal?

I looked at my full bowl of moistureless Rice Krispies and realized I had no choice. I had to find a milk alternative. I searched the fridge and found the first thing that seemed to even remotely resemble a solution: a bottle of half and half. As more of a skim milk kind of guy, I had never really used half and half, but I fig-

I’m still somehow at one of the best schools in the country studying a subject I genuinely care about.

What’s there to complain about? ured if you could them both in coffee, you could probably put either of them in cereal too. I poured a splash of the half and half into my cereal bowl and walked away thinking I had made a difference and rebuffed establishment breakfast culture. Oh how I was wrong.

For those of you who don’t know, half and half is an equal parts blend of whole milk and cream. Essentially, half and half is likely what actors guzzle down when they’re trying to quickly put weight on for a movie role. One normal serving, which would be a few drops in a cup of coffee, gives you 87 percent of your dailyrecommended serving of saturated fat. Keep in mind I poured myself a bowl full.

The first spoon was definitely the worst. It had the consistency of a runny clam chowder and the never-ending taste of pure fat.

It was like I had just been breastfed by Paula Deen. After initially recoiling from the taste, I thought to myself, “This couldn’t possibly get any worse. I’ll just finish the bowl and go back to my simple life.” I finished the bowl, but the taste didn’t get any better.

I went to campus to study after that and got a pretty insane stomachache. It was one of the rougher times in my life. That being said, the stomachache ended and my life went back to being doable and easy going.

I know what you’re thinking, that was probably the worst story ever told. What I hope was clear through the above paragraphs is that this past week was tough for a lot of us, but a fair amount of us were able to move on. That being said, a significant number of us have not and will not ever recover from this past week. Some of your friends’, classmates’, and relative strangers’ lives will be permanently and irreversibly changed by last week’s outcome. I am not one of those people. As I have repeatedly said, my life is simple and has very few drastic problems. Many students on this campus live a life of similar privilege. While last week’s outcome can be summarized as a temporary bad taste in some peoples’ mouths, many others are still reeling, and will continue to for far longer than you may realize. If you are lucky enough to not be one of those people, I urge you be empathetic towards your peers and not tell them to just move on. Moving on from a nationwide mistake as significant as this has no due date.

“If we do choose to unionize, it is important to realize the impact that this will have on future generations of grad students. Namely, they will not have a choice. No matter which side you take on this matter, I think it is important that every graduate student get out and vote when the time comes so that should the union be enacted, it is done so with the full voice of the grad population.”

Our Story T

he period between the moment one casts their ballot and the moment the next President of the United States is announced feels far more heavy than I’d ever imagined. It’s the American population’s collective gasp — like that pause in music when the audience isn’t sure if the song is ending or if they’ve simply reached the silent millisecond before a beat drop. Last week, when I encountered my first introduction to this feeling, I watched a few campaign-recap videos to curb my pre-election jitters.

The videos were reflective, taking an emotional look back at the election cycle and its ups and downs. To me, it all felt so personal: each scene a reminder of its context in my life. I saw clips from the DNC I had streamed on my cell phone in the back of a girl’s car at a drive in movie, candidacy announcements I’d discussed with my parents on our porch before college, articles I read in other cities during other chapters of my life. It wasn’t Hillary’s story or Donald’s story. It was my story. Our story.

For a year and a half, the politically attentive interacted with the saga of a few sets of campaigns, and now, when we look back, we can remind ourselves of the lives we lived between news stories. In effect, this election wasn’t just a set of scattered events; it was a timeline that chronicled many of our experiences — a landscape of various points of reference that can help us remember the people and places and moments that have shaped us since 2015.

Now, in this post-election haze of shock and confusion, my November 8 campaign

video binge feels like it was eons ago. Back then, I saw the Clinton videos as a victory lap.

I sat there with a bag of chips and a smile as wide as the wage gap she talked about so often, planning out where in the house I’d take my celebratory “we gon’ be alright” picture at the end of the night.

That afternoon, I went to a bible study where the leader spoke about exuding respect even if the election results don’t work in your favor. In the moment, it felt like good advice for another time: this year, my candidate had it in the bag.

And then she didn’t.

It didn’t feel real, like I’d been dreaming the entire time.

I looked back for the hints I had disregarded, as if there would be some telling detail like a “Directed by M. Night Shayamalan” tagline on a movie poster that should’ve let me know to expect a cheap twist at the end.

The next morning, I had to come to grips with the proposition that the fact that this political journey is “our story” doesn’t mean it’ll always work in our favor. I thought back to the books I’d read in high school. The classics. The pillars of this concept of “story.” Most of them, I remembered, were tragedies: Gatsby, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, Frankenstein and so many more.

In each case, the author imagined a devastating ending to be so meaningful and enlightening that they disregarded readers’ longings for a good, old fashioned denouement. As proven by my failed English papers, it’s often difficult to decode what the meaningful and enlightening lesson was meant to be, but we were

forced to search for it nonetheless.

Now, for us, it feels even harder to determine the lesson hidden in the depths of this political story, if there is one at all. Whatever the intellectual takeaway, this election, for those of us who hung our heads on November 9, must be a call to action.

We, the oxymoronic generation, presently spend our college years tweeting about equality yet skipping her rallies, studying labor relations so we can become wealthy businessmen, shying away from hard conversations because social discomfort is more likely to seep through the cracks in our privilege and hurt us than the thought of oppressive ideals perpetuating themselves.

I recognize that our alleged complacency isn’t always a fault: we aren’t all cut out to be activists or government officials and we can’t all make time in our schedules for this action or that organizing effort. But if a Trump presidency has taught me anything, it’s that I have a duty to at least do something to support what I believe in, because I can’t expect the populous to agree with me on its own.

For many of us, 2016 marks our first opportunity to vote for president and our first introduction to the reality that just voting isn’t nearly enough. It’s just a page in the book.

So if this political whirlwind is our story, I’m grabbing a pen and paper. It’s time to write a sequel.

Your source for good food

Sacred Root Kava Lounge

By SIDDHANT RAO Sun Staff Writer

I

f you find yourself wandering just west of the Commons (as one does), you might come across a rather nondescript door and you will think nothing of it. In fact, unless you’re an especially curious person, you’d probably just walk right on.

That’s your first mistake; the inside of this door houses one of Ithaca’s more interesting establishments, the Sacred Root Kava Lounge.

“What is kava?” you may ask. You might even be googling it this very second. Patience, all will be revealed in good time. The inside of this establishment is decorated with weird paintings and odd statues all hinting at some kind of ritualistic proceeding where you can see or future PHOTOS BY EMILY JONES / or something DINING EDITOR equally ludicrous. For a second, you’re cert a i n you’ve entered s o m e kind of forbidden temple.

Then, as you slowly begin to take in the surroundings, you realize, no, this isn’t a forbidden temple; this is actually just a chill place.

So you go up to the bar and the guy behind it asks you if you’d like to learn about kava, and naturally you say yes, because you still don’t know

what it is. That’s your second mistake; the lecture is far too long, especially because after the first minute you know more than enough and you just want to try the damn thing. I’m going to save you some time and give you the salient points.

Kava is a root from the Pacific Islands and it tastes like mud, but if you drink it you feel pretty relaxed.

So you get a bowl of kava with a ladle and some coconut shells (because real utensils don’t fit the vibe; try to keep up) and seat yourself. Now, you probably think you remember what mud tastes like from the one time you ate it when you were a kid, but you really don’t. It’s pretty bad.

But you down your coconut shell anyway, amused to find a numbness in your mouth, eager to feel the calmness that y o u ’ v e heard so m u c h about. So you go back for more and learn that there are chocolate and vanilla versions of this drink, which cost a little more. Your third mistake would be ordering these; vanillaflavored mud is still mud.

Now here’s the question: How many shells do you have to down before you start feeling it? This is where kava enthusiasts (my friends

who’ve tried it once) disagree. Some say three or four is more than enough, and some will be drinking their seventh and still feel nothing. Similar to another popular beverage we are all familiar with, it depends on the person. Does it really work? I’m inclined to say yes, but I also believe that the experience and the atmosphere of the lounge plays an important role in getting you relaxed.

My advice would be to plan your

visit in order to wind down and relax after a fun evening and not to expect it to be like going to a bar or pub. You can’t drink away your troubles with kava, but it’s definitely a healthier alternative. Now I don’t know that for a fact but nothing that tastes that bad could possibly be anything but good for you.

A successful first run

he long-anticipated Anabel’s Grocery made a brief appearance last week with a softopening pop-up shop in Willard Straight Hall. The store was able to show off products, as well as test out its equipment and check-out process.

Most notably, the group did an awesome job of creating Anabel’s earthy, sustainable, small-producer vibe within the inevitably busy Willard Straight Hall. The Pop-Up was also able to generate excitement about the store and give people a solid experience after Anabel’s long planning period (students first got working on the idea two and a half years ago and will be opening a permanent store this year in Anabel Taylor Hall).

I found the Pop-Up to have a great atmosphere with

cheap, well-selected items.

They had both dry pantry goods, such as Annie’s macaroni and cheese and canned tuna, as well as fresh produce, some from the student-run Dilmun Hill Farm. I also found their prices particularly reasonable, owing, no doubt, to Anabel’s lack of overhead cost.

Guests of the Pop-Up were welcomed with samples: warm lentil soup, when I went. Anabel’s highlights ingredients sold in the store posting take-home recipes throughout the Pop-Up. Nearly all of the ingredients in the recipes can be purchased in the store (a nice perk).

I also spoke to the director of the store, Adam Shelepak ’17. He reiterated the purpose of opening a Pop-Up (familiarize people with the product, generate excite-

ment) but also shared some insight on what’s popular.

According to Shelepak, Anabel’s currently has approximately 35 products, but would like to have 50 to 60 seasonally rotated goods.

He said that grapes sold out very fast, but his personal favorite item was the peanut butter (I was eyeing their giant jar myself ).

Overall, I was delighted with the store, its variety and its freshness, although I think it caters best to students living off campus. First, despite their competitively low prices, Anabel’s does not accept Big Red Bucks, and does not plan to associate with Cornell Dining, which makes buying food there difficult to justify for students on a meal plan. Also, Anabel’s is not so much a “grab and go”, prepared food-style joint, but rather a grocery

store with staple items. This means that if you’re going to Anabel’s, you can plan on cooking. This is another tough sell for students living in dorms.

That being said, if you are not like me and are, in fact, cooking for yourself and looking for great products for cheap prices, look no further than Anabel’s. For the first time ever, food is finally cheaper on campus than off.

I encourage everyone to visit Anabel’s when it opens.

The store has a variety of products with unbeatable prices, as well as an inspiring mission (that no student should go hungry). Perhaps you’ll be inspired to take on some recipes and get cooking!

Some of us will protest. Some of us will make strategic donations. Some of us may flee, which can be an act of bravery as well. And some of us will be college students.

November 10. The first performance has wrapped up, and I’m talking to my father. He thanks me for a show that has gotten his mind off politics for the first The Next Panel time in days. We talk about a lot of things, eventually coming to the value of the humanities in politically tense times. He tells me that when he was in college studying archaeology, he would often think to himself how devoting himself to this study, which had no direct relation to war or nations or power or current events whatsoever, would piss off guys like Reagan and Nixon so much. I liked the idea.

A play can only be as good as its performers, but I’d say we were quite great. I have a great love and admiration for my fellow cast members, and for our director, Prof.

Frederick Ahl. I hope sincerely that our show provided catharsis and relief for the 250-odd audience members who saw our production. I’d like you all to remember, as we approach what for many of us will be some of the most trying years of our lives: “All things have a moment of beauty.”

SNL and the Normalization of Trump

hardly ever watch Saturday Night Live, or even single skits from it. From what I’ve seen, its sense of humor isn’t really my style: too broad and too topical without offering real criticism. Nonetheless, I watched the post-election episode, and thought that the show was exhibiting a new side. Kate McKinnon’s opening performance of “Hallelujah,” in character as Hillary Clinton, paid simultaneous tribute to the deaths of Leonard Cohen and Clinton’s presidential prospects (and the hopes of millions). This double-sided swan song was surprisingly powerful, especially when McKinnon ended by turning to the camera and saying sincerely, “I’m not giving up, and neither should you.”

Following just after, Dave Chappelle’s opening monologue was a reminder of his talent, a rumination on Trump and America’s progress that was by turns cutting, glum and hopeful. Speaking about the shock many voters felt after Trump’s victory, Chappelle said, “I know the whites… You guys aren’t as full of surprises as you used to be.” He ended by recounting his feeling of hope at a BEThosted event at the White House, saying, “In that spirit, I’m wishing Donald Trump luck, and I’m going to give him a chance.

And we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one too.”

I wasn’t sure how to feel about this last part.

Sure, we don’t really know what a Trump presidency will be, since it’s clear that he only holds positions based on pragma-

tism. He’s already qualifying his intentions regarding the Affordable Care Act. He has backtracked on his campaign promises to “drain the swamp” of Washington by choosing Reince Priebus, the head of the Republican National Committee, as his chief of staff, as well as many lobbyists for positions — although M i k e Pence, the head of his transition team, then removed all of the lobbyists, which only underlines how little Tr u m p cares about policies or consistency.

But even if we don’t know what the presidency will bring, do we owe this man a chance? Do we owe someone a chance who began his campaign by alleging that the president was born in Kenya, and Despite All the began his Amputations transition into the presidency by appointing Steve Bannon, the head of the bigoted conspiracy-theory cesspool Breitbart News, as his chief strategist?

I found Chappelle’s monologue so poignant that, briefly, I felt that he was right. And I felt that SNL had seized an opportunity both to do justice to the terror of this moment, and to begin the process of learning how to be one country again. Chappelle’s final quote balances

COURTESY OF NBC

respect for the office of the president with a demand for justice: this, I thought, was the attitude we need.

Then I read Ira Madison III’s column on MTV News, “Even Dave Chappelle Can’t Absolve SNL’s Sins,” and I remembered the episode from last November when Trump hosted. If you want to get really nauseated, watch Trump’s opening monologue. He talks for a while about what a nice person he is: it’s unclear if this is supposed to be him making fun of himself or not. Two preening Trump imitators join him onstage. Then Larry David yells “Trump’s a racist!” from the audience, because “I heard if I yelled that they’d give me five thousand dollars.” “As a busi-

nessman, I can fully respect that,” Trump replies. “That’s okay.” Trump’s fear-mongering, bigoted campaign is made into a punchline; if we’re going to be ungenerous, it even implies that people who call Trump racist are doing it for their personal benefit.

By having him host on the show, SNL treated Trump just like a normal celebrity, not like the terrifying incarnation of white America’s fearful, angry and factdisdaining id that he is. They should know better. SNL deserves blame for normalizing Trump, just like Jimmy Fallon deserves blame for treating him like a difficult but lovable child and tousling his hair on his show.

These entertainers had opportunities to rise to the moment and make a statement about what was undeniably the most explicitly bigoted candidate to grace the halls of entertainment shows.

They failed, and like Madison’s column says, having Chappelle on after the fact doesn’t excuse SNL for treating Trump like a normal celebrity during his campaign. If Trump doesn’t deserve a new chance, then SNL, which helped Americans believe that Trump was anything like a normal candidate, doesn’t deserve one either.

Puzzle #127

Besotted

Fill in the empty cells, one number in each, so that each column, row, and region contains the numbers 1-9 exactly once.

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.

The human condition is equal parts pain and fear, and opportunities for solace are scarce. In this troubled world, there is one pillar upon which we can rely to buttress our spirits against the unflinching indifference of fate: Cloin. Cloin's soul is a torrent of cleansing light. To hear his words is to be born again, and the potency of his presence defies explanation.

Though limitless in his wisdom and capacity for good, Cloin's time on this earth is limited.

Coexistence with Cloin is sublime. Do not pass up the opportunity to know the man and take advantage of the foremost opportunity of our age." Bartlett Bethany, Thank you so much for the work and time you put into making this year a reality. No matter what problems arose, what kind of bus we got stuck with, what an athletics department did, or how many trumpets forgot the 4 count percussion intro in “Call Me Al” (#NeverForget), you handled them fantastically. I’m very proud of you for more than just your work as head manager. Thank you for co-leading the band with me, and thank you for being a trusted friend. I can’t wait to see what your future brings!

The women came out victorious, 3-2, in double overtime.

The three graduating seniors — midfielder Katy Week, midfielder Elizabeth Horak, and back Luisa Schulte-Bockum — made a significant contribution to the program during their time with the Red. “Our seniors have put in so much time and effort into showing us what it is like and what is expected to be a member of Cornell field hockey,” McILWrick said. “[The team] is so proud of [them].”

The class of 2017 had a total of 42 wins throughout its four years, which ties the class of 2011 for the most winningest in program history.

“I am so proud,” Weeks said, of this record.

Looking forward, the Red hopes to maintain the momentum it has established at the end of its season and continue to grow as a program.

“Coming off our final four games, we are left hungry for the next season,” McILWrick said.

“We were one of those teams just a week ago this time,” he said. “They have some really talented forwards on the team. They’ve been on the road and have had some really tough competition.”

With Quinnipiac and Princeton, scoring has often been incredibly important. In five matchups against the Bobcats last year — including the ECAC playoff series — only one game saw less than seven total goals, a 2-2 tie in Hamden. Though the second game against the Tigers last season ended in a 1-0 win for Cornell, the first game saw seven total goals. None was bigger than now-injured senior alternate captain forward Jeff Kubiak's game-winner with less than a minute remaining.

This year, McCrea and other defensemen have been chipping into the attack, working to fill the void left by the injured Kubiak, who led the Red in scoring with 27 points as the centerpiece of an attack flanked by Vanderlaan and fellow sophomore Anthony Angello.

While Vanderlaan has continued to impress, earning honors as the ECAC player of the week following his performances against Brown and Yale, Schafer said he is enthusiastic about the variety of scorers on this year’s roster.

“Last year we were far too dependent on Jeff, Mitch and [sophomore forward] Anthony [Angello] as far as five-on-five scoring,” Schafer said. “We’ve already seen a lot of five-on-five scoring from all our guys this year.”

Regardless of the results, the team is excited to finally get back to a packed rink in front of the Lynah Faithful.

“This year it has kind of been a grind with the three weekends on the road,” McCrea said. “We are going to bring the momentum back home.”

Red Faces Tough Task Against Princeton,Quinnipiac

By TROY BRIDSON Sun Staff Writer

Cornell women’s hockey (5-2, 3-2 ECAC) will face a tough test this weekend when the team takes on No. 8 Quinnipiac (9-4-1, 4-2, ECAC) and Princeton (4-3-1, 2-3 ECAC) in what could be a defining series for the Red. Both games will be played on the road, with Cornell taking on Quinnipiac on Friday and Princeton on Saturday.

After back-to-back wins, the team is feeling upbeat and confident heading into the action.

“I think our team has a lot of confidence right now,” said freshman forward Kristin O’Neill.

Since Cornell is a young team, it took several games before the team started to click and develop a consistent approach on and off the ice. The Red put the pieces together in wins against Brown (3-6, 1-5 ECAC) and Yale (4-3-1, 2-3-1 ECAC) this past weekend, when the offense came alive for eight goals in two games.

“I think our energy, our focus and our communication has been better,” said head coach Doug Derraugh.

Defense is definitely the Red’s strong suit, as opponents are averaging just 1.1 goals per game against a committed back line. Nevertheless, as the offense is starting to find ways to put pucks in the net, Cornell is becoming a dangerous team.

The Red has outshot opponents by an average of 10 goals a game this season, but the team has not been able to convert on most of its scoring opportunities until

“We’re still not at that kind of innate understanding of how everybody’s going to work every time we get on a horse and play together,” Noyes explained.

“We’re still not at that ... understanding of how everybody’s going to work every time we ... play together.”

Junior Hannah Noyes them and a 2-4 record, the Red needs to start polishing up its gameplay if the teams wants to end the season with a winning record and get a shot at nationals. The Bill Field Invitational is the women’s opportunity to do just that. With four days of consecutive, tournament-style gameplay meant to give teams more real-life gameplay for practice, the Bill Field Invitational can give Cornell the chance to overcome its setbacks and push forward.

“I'm still confident in my teammates that we will pull together for this tournament,” commented freshman Shariah

Harris. “We're just going to take [the loss against UConn] as being a minor setback because in previous practices and games we were starting to come together as a team and play well together.”

This tournament is early in the polo season and won’t affect the Red’s record. Instead, it will provide the developing team with legitimate gameplay to practice its teamwork in an environment with seemingly no consequences to their record.

This tournament will feature teams that the Red will see at Nationals, should the team tighten its gameplay enough to advance. In earlier years, Cornell women’s polo has hosted Skidmore, Texas A&M, and the University of Virginia with this tournament, all of which are highly competitive and capable teams.

Last year, the women came into the invitational with a 5-1 record, something that Eldredge is slightly grateful that they don’t have now.

“In some ways I actually prefer to have a losing record because that takes a lot of the pressure off of our team,” Eldridge said. “You have expectations to uphold when you have a winning record [but] with a losing record people don't expect you to play well and you can use that to your advantage.”

These opponents have also not seen Cornell polo’s current

team, so this tournament will give both sides a firsthand look into how the other teams play and how they need to improve as a team themselves.

“We have never played [Texas A&M] before with the team that

we have now, so it will be a good game to tell us where we stand and how far we need to continue growing as a team,” Harris said.

From Nov. 16 to Nov. 20, Cornell will be hosting the Bill Field Invitational, where hope-

fully both the women’s and men’s polo teams will emerge victorious.

Red Welcomes Quinnipiac,Princeton in Home Openers

By SIDD SRINIVASAN Sun Staff Writer

As far as adages in the sporting world go, there is one that holds true to a team’s league Cornell Cornell success: “Split on the road, and win all your games at home, and you'll have a great year.”

This is the sentiment Cornell men’s hockey head coach Mike Schafer '86 relayed ahead of the team’s first home matchups of the season vs. vs. against Quinnipiac and Princeton on Friday and Saturday, respectively. "[I hope] we can win every game at home and I think we can split every game on the road," he said. "If that follows through for the Quinnipiac Princeton rest of the year I think we'll be in great shape."

Saturday, 7 p.m. well in splitting on the road, as evident in a Ithaca, N.Y. Ithaca, N.Y. .500 record.

Cornell Finishes Season 3rd in Ivies Polo Drops Match

The Cornell field hockey team ended the 2016 season with its fourth consecutive top-three finish in the league.

The Red (10-7, 4-3) finished its fourth straight season with double digit wins. “I think our team is content with the season,” said junior cocaptain Sam McILWrick.

Senior co-captain Katy Weeks agreed.

“It was not our most winning season during my four years, but I think the team experienced a cul-

ture change and growth that will definitely show in the seasons to come,” she said.

The women out-shot their opponents in both shots and shots on goal. They averaged 14.7 shots per game with a shots-on-goal percentage of 0.564; their opponents averaged 11.1 shots per game with a shots-on-goal percentage of 0.545.

It was easy to have faith and trust in all players on the field at any given time, according to Weeks.

Throughout the season, 14 out of the 15 players on the roster scored at least one point for the Red. “Our freshman immediately stepped up,” McILwirck said.

“Many [already have] starting positions, and [the] upperclassmen worked really hard to integrate [the freshman].”

Against Rival UConn

By CAITLIN STANTON Sun Staff Writer

In their showing against regional rival UConn, the women of the Cornell polo struggled to break their losing streak. The Red had its match against the Huskies on Saturday with a home field advantage, but came away with a 17-10 loss.

“I honestly can say we just didn't have a good day,” said senior Emma Eldredge. “That happens.

We all get days where things just aren't working out how we want them to, just as some days we will play incredibly well.”

The team’s previous matchup against UConn was down to the wire, with the Huskies pulling ahead by one goal. The fact that the two teams had played such a close game in their last showing added another level of pressure on the developing team.

“I think there was a lot riding on this match because we all put a lot of pressure on ourselves to win, since we lost by only one goal last time,” said junior Hannah Noyes. “I think coming out with that kind of anxiety and pressure to perform well and then still being a new team ... was the biggest issue that we had.”

Unlike in its last game against UConn, the Red was never able to break its opponent’s lead. The first chukker ended with UConn up by five goals, and, although Cornell managed to close in and shrink the lead to only two goals during the second See POLO page 15
