Alumnus Fired From Intelligence Community

By JULIA CURLEY Sun Staff Writer

The West Wing’s revolving door sometimes facilitates coincidences.

A Cornell alumnus working in the intelligence community was terminated by the acting inspector general of the intelligence community last year, a position which another alumnus, Michael Atkinson J.D. ’91, may soon occupy.

Mark Colbran ’18 had already stunned the crowd into hushed whispers with his unconventional design — which featured a deer head and an elephant tusk — at the Cornell Fashion Collective Saturday night. The whispers then grew into shocked gasps as Colbran walked out on stage at the end of his section flailing a banner that read “Fuck Hate But Fuck FSAD Faculty.”

Just a few seconds after Colbran expressed his disdain at the faculty in the department of fiber science and apparel design, CFC president Jessa Chargois ’18 ran out and tried to wriggle the banner out of Colbran’s hands.

After the show ended, Chargrois apologized to the audience for the incident. She later told The Sun that Colbran’s reactions following the incident made her feel “unsafe personally.”

“He physically put his hands on me and cursed at me … I felt that he was going to come back around and distract me from running the rest of the show, so I had him escorted out by the police,” Chargois said.

Chargois added that Colbran’s father’s involvement also made her uncomfortable. “[Colbran’s] father came and spoke with me after and I felt unsafe,” she said. “I had police around me all night.”

Colbran has not returned The Sun’s request for comment.

C.U. Students to Ithaca and Cornell Community Gather to Enrich Wikipedia Entries About Art and Feminism Hold Walk-Outs to Push for Gun Laws

By SHRUTI JUNEJA Sun News Editor

After the school shooting in Parkland, Florida in February that killed 17 people, Cornellians and Ithacans are voicing their outrage and mobilizing for change.

Amidst a wave of student protest surrounding gun control across the country, a group of community members is organizing a March for Our Lives Rally here in Ithaca.

“As a parent, I’m horrified by the idea that someone could walk into one of my kid’s schools and you know, kill them, that’s an awful thing,” said Amanda K. Champion, Tompkins County legislator and one of the organizers of the upcoming march.

According to its website, March for Our Lives is a national movement led by students “who will no longer risk their lives waiting for someone else to take action to stop the epidemic of mass school shootings.” In particular, the movement calls upon Congress to pass a comprehensive and effective gun control bill.

Champion, who organized the Women’s March in Ithaca last January, emphasized that the March For Our Lives movement is “really all about the students.”

“I think these students in Parkland who have been speaking and standing up against politicians and the NRA and they’re inspiring all of us,” she said. “We want to provide that opportunity here in Ithaca as well for students.”

Ithaca High School will be hosting a walkout this Wednesday to join this effort. The Cornell University Democrats will also be hosting a simultaneous walkout on the Arts Quad to stand in solidarity with the high school students.

“For a lot of us, we are not old enough to vote, and we can’t make our voices heard through that means,” said Megan Hay, one of the organizers of the IHS walkout. “Civil disobedience is a really good way to get attention because we can’t make See WALK-OUT page 4

Edit-a-thon | Participants of the event hope to make Wikipedia — the seventh most popular online resource — “truly democratic” by improving its coverage of underrepresented women.

By KATHERINE HEANEY Sun Staff Writer

Cornell students and Ithaca residents gathered on Saturday to enhance Wikipedia entries on topics related to art, feminism and women in general in an “Edit-a-thon” hosted in Olin Library and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art. Edit-a-thons are events where people come together to edit and improve Wikipedia articles on a specific topic, according to Wikipedia. The events can take place either virtually or in person, commonly at cultural centers and universities.

Susette Newberry Ph.D. ’99, librarian at the Fine Arts Library, hopes that the third annual Arts and Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon can play a part in making Wikipedia be “truly democratic” by improving its coverage of underrepresented women.

“Wikipedia is the seventh-most popular resource on the Internet, but a recent study determined that only 10% of its

editors are female,” Newberry said. “We time our event to coincide with International Women’s Day and honor the contributions of women in the arts.”

Another librarian at the Fine Arts Library, Marsha Taichman emphasized the importance of edit-a-thons as a crucial student opportunity by talking about how “contributing to Wikipedia means contributing to scholarship worldwide.”

“It’s empowering to know that you are enriching a global corpus of knowledge, reducing gender bias and discrepancy in representation between male and female artists,” she said.

Paulina Velasquez, an Ithaca resident, participated in her first edit-a-thon in Washington, D.C. several years ago. An artist herself, Velasquez said she identifies with “the underrepresentation of women in the arts and the need to ensure that the public knows about their works.”

Velasquez noted that it can be challenging to navigate Wikipedia’s expansive collections, or to select an article to See WIKIPEDIA page 4

Cornell Installs New Blue Lights to Improve Campus Security New Blue Lights increases access for disabled community; facilitates dissemination of information during potential emergency

By MATTHEW McGOWEN Sun Staff Writer

MICHAEL WENYE LI / SUN PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Technological update | The new Blue Light on Ho Plaza replaced one of the 950 emergency phones on campus.

A new variant of Blue Light, an emergency phone station, made its debut in front of Ho Plaza in February as part of a push to reduce sexual assault and crime on campus.

Currently, Blue Light stations provide safety via quick access to police and escort teams, who can be summoned to any campus location.

With added features that increases access for the disabled community, the new Blue Light located in front of Sage Chapel on Ho Plaza replaced one of the 950 emergency phones on campus.

“One important aspect of this phone is increased [Americans with Disabilities Act] accessibility based on its design and proximity to the sidewalk,” said Cornell University Police Department deputy chief David Honan.

The University will continue to add the new Blue Light phones as part of a wider push to bring up to date security measures on campus, according to Honan. “[The new emergency phone] is part of a pilot program to test a new style of phone and new technology the University may want to use in the future,” Honan said.

our voices heard through polls and stuff.”

Champion also said that the fact that young people are leading this movement is part of what makes it different from previous instances.

“I think what’s maybe different this time is that it is the young voices who are standing up and saying ‘we’ve had enough of this,’” Champion said.

“If we continue the way that we’re going right now, it could be Ithaca that’s next.”

Evan Bynoe ’21 Ithacans are not the only ones taking actions. Alumnus John Zimmer ’06 is also using his position as co-founder and president of Lyft to express support for the #NeverAgain student movement, which calls for new policies on gun control.

In a statement addressed to the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where the shooting took place, Zimmer and cofounder Logan Green said that the company will be offering free Lyft rides to students attending the March for Our Lives rallies in Washington, D.C. later this month on March 24.

Zimmer, who graduated from the School of Hotel Administration, worked at Lehman Brothers and founded Zimride before creating Lyft in 2012, according to his Linkedin. The Lyft press team is yet to respond to The Sun’s

request for comment.

“We believe there is something seriously wrong when the threat of gun violence is so frequent and real throughout our country. And like many, we are inspired by your leadership,” Zimmer and Green wrote in the statement. “We will continue using our voice and platform to encourage civic participation.”

For Evan Bynoe ’21, the issue hits particularly close to home. Although he did not attend Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, he grew up in Parkland and went to the neighboring middle school and knew many people, including his sister, who attended the school.

“Seeing the response from the students, obviously this is a horrible tragedy, but at the very least there’s some hope coming out of it that something will actually change,” he said.

“I was incredibly heartened at least in a time when I was just depressed for a while, but at least I’m seeing that the students are banding together and really trying to make some positive change from this horrible situation,” Bynoe added.

Bynoe also commended the activism in Ithaca and said that people shouldn’t begin to care about an issue only after it happened to themselves.

“If we continue the way that we’re going right now, it could be Ithaca that’s next,” he said. “The fact that Ithaca is holding a March For Our Lives rally shows that we’re not just going to forget about it.”

Student Assaulted in Collegetown ASSAULT

students and administrators who lamented that once again, the campus was grappling with a physical assault during which the suspect used racial slurs.

Saturday’s dispute happened less than two blocks away from an altercation in September that led to hate crime charges against a Cornell sophomore. In that case, prosecutors have accused John Greenwood ’20, who was an underground member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity, of calling a black student a racist slur and assaulting him. Greenwood has pleaded not guilty and the criminal proceedings are in the pretrial phase.

Cornell Police made an

explicit call for community assistance on Saturday night, asking anyone who might be able to identify the suspect or identify additional witnesses to reach out to the department’s investigations unit by email at cup-inv@cornell.edu or by phone at 607-255-1111.

People with information can also contact the department anonymously, police said, through the Cornell Police Silent Witness Program online.

David Honan, deputy chief of Cornell Police, said that sharing any further details in the early stages of the investigation could harm the department’s efforts to solve what he described as a “serious crime.”

Campus Groups, Administration Condemn Collegetown Assault COLLEGETOWN Continued from page 4

President Martha Pollack said in a statement to the Cornell community on Saturday morning that if the perpetrator is a student, he would be held accountable by the Campus Code of Conduct and the result of any criminal proceedings.

“We wanted to make sure you heard about this directly from us and to know that we will not simply brush this episode aside, nor will we let it deter us as we continue to strive for a more just, equitable and inclusive campus,” Pollack and Ryan Lombardi, vice president for student and campus life, said in the joint statement.

Online, students said they were disgusted but not surprised by the reported altercation.

Most student groups refrained from issuing any statements while their members sought details about the nature of the crime, but individual students and some organizations said that “once again,” — or “yet again" — or “AGAIN" — they were dealing with the aftermath of an altercation involving racial slurs.

The Cornell Interfraternity Council said in a statement that members of its executive board were “angered and saddened by the news of another incidence of racial violence in Collegetown.”

The IFC said its members did not know if any of the involved individuals were fraternity members, but that the fraternity community, as “a set of institutions founded on racist ideals … is often at the center of many similar incidents at colleges across the country.”

Student Assembly members said the altercation “is the

most recent in a series of attacks to minority students on campus” and “is a reflection of America and it is a reflection of Cornell.”

“Students should feel safe in their institution of learning” and should “be able to call Cornell their home,” wrote the assembly members, who also said the work of a committee task force looking into possible hate speech resolutions and the work of the Presidential Task Force on Campus Climate are “more pertinent than ever.”

Pollack and Lombardi acknowledged that the altercation on Saturday was not a new phenomenon, writing: “As we stated last fall, all of us who abhor such acts must speak out against injustice, racism and bigotry. We must reach out and support each other and continue the difficult work of building a community grounded in mutual respect and kindness.”

The recommendations of the presidential task force will be shared among all students by the end of the semester, Pollack and Lombardi said.

“But all of this will remain only words without a mutual resolve on all of our parts to look inside ourselves; to express empathy and compassion to one another; to embrace change; and to make a difference,” Pollack and Lombardi said. “That work must continue, every day, and must be done by all of us.”

Cornell University’s South Asian Council wrote that “Cornell University does not feel safe to us” and said its members “want to know how Greek life is being structurally changed” following the discovery that Greenwood was an underground member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity, which shut down following the September arrest.

“This is about a systematic failure of institutions of high-

er learning tolerating injustice to marginalized communities because these [predominantly white institutions] care more about financial security and the public image, all the while wrapping highly intense and emotionally demanding rallying and response as opportunities for overburdened students to become ‘leaders, movers and shakers,’” the South Asian Council wrote.

Haven, Cornell’s LGBTQ Student Union, said in a state-

“Students should feel safe in their institution of learning [and should] be able to call Cornell their home.”

Student Assembly ment that “we are once again afraid, hurt and frustrated.”

“We are afraid, because this makes us feel that we are not safe enough here,” the group wrote. “We are hurt, because we have been in pain for too long and continue to have to wait for opportunities to heal. We are frustrated, because this has happened before and the University is taking steps in the right direction, but we have yet to reach the place we want to be at.”

The group said it was calling on its own members and other students to “channel our hurt into resilience” and called on Cornell to “to protect us and to uplift us.”

Designer Raises Expletive Banner Targeting Faculty During Fashion Show CFC

fused about whether the occurrence was staged.

“I was very confused if it’s part of the show, but obviously it wasn’t,” said Rachel Hong ’20.

Daisy Lee ’20, an usher at the event, said that they were warned by the CFC executive board beforehand to keep an eye on Colbran and any potential incidents. “[The e-board] said something could happen because [Colbran] always does weird things,” Lee told The Sun. “At first I was also confused about if it was planned … but then I saw [Chargois] backstage, she was really mad and she took [the banner] away from him.”

Prof. Jooyoung Shin, fiber science and apparel design, CFC faculty advisor, said that “it is not rare for fashion designers to turn the runway into a platform” for personal expression, but that Colbran’s action was unacceptable.

“The CFC supports freedom of speech and creative expression of its members, but certainly does not condone speech or any type of expression that is targeted harassment,” Shin told The Sun in an email.

Chargois also said that CFC is supposed to be a

place “for people to express their feelings and creative energy,” but that one designer’s opinion cannot represent the opinion of everyone involved.

“Fashion isn’t always black and white and we have to keep that in mind,” she said. “I do not wish to repress free speech, [but] there were children and older generations in the audience, and I am extremely upset to have been put in a position to have to step in.”

According to Chargois, David Wild ’18, who cofounded the brand FSAD Boyz with Colbran, left the venue after inviting audience members to come on stage, which raised a safety concern.

“The stage could have broken and injured hundreds of people, including children that came on stage,” Chargois said. “He chose to leave the building, he was not asked to leave.”

Running for Student Trustee

his week marks the beginning of a campus-wide race for the next Graduate and Professional Student Trustee. While the official campaigning period remains on hold, graduate and professional students competing for this role are collecting petition signatures to secure their ballot spots. Many of the undergraduate, graduate and professional students who are asked to sign candidates’ petitions however, may not know what exactly a “student trustee” is. Questions that I frequently encountered included- what are the student trustees’ duties, who are their constituents and how does this election impact me?

Each year Cornell University undergraduate, graduate and professional students have the opportunity to elect a fellow student to serve on the university’s Board of Trustees. Cornell is one of the very few institutions in the nation to allow students to directly elect representatives to its highest governing body. Consisting of 64 board members — including corporate CEOs, government representatives, employees, faculty members and alumni — Cornell’s Board of Trustees is larger and more diverse than our peer institutions’. Whereas other colleges invite students to sit on their boards, attend meetings and discuss diverse initiatives, the two student elects on Cornell’s board hold full voting rights. This means that on issues regarding campus health, buildings and property, tuition and academic services, to name a few, the student trustees have real and concrete voices.

Cornell’s Board of Trustees is comprised of various committees and task forces. They include committees on academic affairs, student life, university relations, buildings and property, finance, and development. Joint Academic Affairs and Student Life Committee meetings discuss topics ranging from revised curriculum proposals to student health initiatives, student trustees have added to the discussion by presenting presented issues ranging from student legal service and bystander intervention programs, to food insecurity and campus free speech. The student trustees provide an important pulse on the student community. I often find that despite the incredible skills, expertise, and enthusiasm that our board members bring to every meeting, they may lack a holistic student perspective on a variety of significant issues. That’s where the student trustees come in.

Student trustees have a fiduciary duty to the university. What this means is that student trustees must make decisions based on what’s in the university’s best

interest. It’s this very fiduciary obligation, I believe, that enhances some community members’ skepticism of the Board. If you’re one of these skeptics, just know that I was once in your shoes. Having served on the Student Assembly as a Cornell undergrad, I jumped at the opportunity to become a professional student advocate as a law school student. I was initially confused by what it meant to be a fiduciary. I quickly learned, however, that doing what’s in the university’s best interest doesn’t mean belittling students’ needs. In fact, it means quite the opposite.

Listening to engaged department heads, reading and analyzing data sets, synthesizing research and gaining senior trustees’ perspectives on decisions that impact students’ welfare are some of the greatest joys of being a student trustee.

As a student trustee I’ve become a more competent leader. I have learned how to more effectively convey my views and proposals; to contribute viable ideas in a room full of pioneers; to hold my ground despite cognizable disagreements; and to “toe the line” between my obligations to Cornell’s students and the university.

Outside of board meetings, student trustees may be asked to join campus task forces, coalitions or search committees.

This week I was asked to sit on the Coalition on Mental Health. Having attended various meetings and spoken with students regarding mental health services and resources, it is my honor to be apart of this discussion. Serving on the Presidential Search Committee to help select our current president was another remarkable opportunity and the highlight of my first year on the board.

Few other universities incorporate student voices into decisions of such great importance.

Serving as a student trustee has been the most rewarding part of my Cornell experience. I hope that this article encourages other students who believe in Cornell’s mission, core values and goals to join the race.

Bursting the Asian Bubble Myth O

ver the weekend, Cornell hosted the East Coast Asian American Student Union conference — the largest Asian American conference in the East Coast. Overall, it was a notable weekend: Asian Tinder was absolutely on fire, Duffield radiated with the smell of food from the homeland and Buzzfeed’s sweetheart Steven Lim graced campus with his wholesome presence. It was inspiring and uplifting to see so many Asian American students from all over the country discuss everrelevant issues in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.

During my freshman year, Eddie Huang of VICE Munchies and Fresh Off the Boat fame came to Cornell to talk about food, media and everything Asian American. Unabashed in his opinions on racial politics and embraced by viewers of all colors, he represented what I believed to be the best of what a new generation of Asian Americans has to offer. So during the Q&A segment, I sheepishly took the mic asked him something along the lines of: “how will we ever be a part of the dominant American culture if we stay into our ‘Asian bubbles?’” I don’t remember all of what he said, but I distinctly remember him prefacing his remarks with “I clench every time I speak because I know someone might ask me this question.” It’s a topic that’s fraught with delicate nuance, but one that is essential to understanding the role of Asians in the American social schema.

For those unfamiliar with the “Asian bubble,” let me explain. I went to a California Bay Area prep school where my graduating class was comprised of a majority of East and South Asian students, which meant two things: we had a phenomenal STEM program and we had to spend at least ten minutes to get through the “C” and “W” last names during graduation. For the most part, it was like any other high school experience. Every year, guys would devise unoriginal and painfully awkward ways to ask girls to prom, underclassmen would flock to friends who recently received their driver’s licenses, and sleep-deprived students would doze off in the back of first period A.P. Bio. However, there were comforts that came along with sharing a heritage: mutual struggle under a culture of high expectations, a shared propensity for bubble tea, and implicit understanding that you better take your shoes off when you come into my house.

The data shows that Asian Americans don’t self-segregate more than any other ethnic group in their time in college.

Nor is it a sociological revelation that people tend to stick to other people from similar backgrounds. However, as a racialized group, we go through our own individual set of systemic racial barriers that are almost entirely unique to our demographic. Statistically speaking, if you are an Asian American student at Cornell, you are likely to have come from a middle or upper class family that immigrated to the United States in the past several decades. Therefore, we fall in this hazy limbo between socioeconomic advantage and social disadvantage that allows us access to some avenues of white America while block-

ing others. These realities manifest themselves in the everyday lives of every Asian American student in the country.

For instance, take Greek life. Most Asian students in IFC and Panhellenic have at one point or another discussed with each other the invisible racism of rush week. When you are Asian and you rush a house, you can’t help but look at generations of white faces on composites and feel like an outsider. Or when that house you thought you clicked so well with never calls back, you can’t help but feel that it’s because you’re not cool enough or that you don’t fit in. You’re not only “not a fit for the house,” but you are also not welcome into the bigger social circle dictated by generations of institutional racism.

This is why the existence of Asian American interest fraternities are so important. If you Google “Asian fraternities Cornell,” one of the top searches is a College Confidential thread from 2011, in which one commenter posted, “I personally do not understand why Asians want to join Asian frat/sorority.

Why should race come into play when making friends?” This narrative is one that I’ve heard from several people, but it is completely ignorant to the societal realities of Asian Americans on college campuses. The reason Asian American interest fraternities and the Asian bubble exists is because it is only once we remove ourselves from historically white and patriarchal institutions that we can escape the racialization of our people. In the Asian bubble, we find comfort in knowing that we are free from judgement and condescension.

In retrospect, the issue with my question for Eddie Huang was that it was founded on the assumption that our goal as Asian Americans is to assimilate into the dominant white culture.

Instead, the Asian bubble is its own cultural sphere, one in which our

The Asian bubble should not be dismissed, but rather celebrated. mutual struggles and interests are pushed to the forefront. The Asian bubble should not be dismissed, but rather celebrated. Furthermore, I believe it is fundamentally flawed to tell people who they should and shouldn’t surround themselves with.

And admittedly, I am not the most well-versed in the literature or the issues of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. However, there is one thing I have absolutely no tolerance for: the self-effacing Asian Americans who drunkenly chime along to “ching chong” jokes with non-Asian friends. We’ve all seen it, and those who participate are cowards whose insecurities make them complicit in a system of disenfranchisement. The reason why organizations like ECAASU are so important is that it is only through collective consciousness that we can transcend stereotypes and dictate our own American narrative.

OPINION

Michael Glanzel | Cornell Shrugged

Moral Bankruptcy

T

here is a theory in political philosophy that the United States, and mankind in general, is on a continual, upward progression. That as time progresses, we as a people are becoming more caring, more protective of individual rights, and more evolved in our treatment of one another. It is a theory that posits us as constantly striving to achieve more and more progressive goals, which in turn creates a more fair and equitable society. This theory, I’m afraid, does not apply to today’s America.

damage to the once morally authoritative title of President of the United States.

What is most egregious about the Trump presidency is not the man himself, but rather those that support and sustain his lunacy. The Republican Party brands itself as the party of family values — the party that will protect America from the liberal loonies that threaten the core of what it means to be American. Yet at the same time, they hold up a womanizing, misogynistic, temperamental, unlearned, offensive, semi-illiterate, groper who revels in the fact that he has become America’s number-one bully.

We teach children to treat others with respect — to avoid name calling and express kindness.

Our president, on the other hand, takes pride in mocking others (e.g. a disabled reporter, virtually every major world leader) and in disparaging women because of a perceived lack of beauty (e.g., Carly Fiorina, Mika Brzezinski). It is impossible to hold oneself as the party of family values while simultaneously standing by a man who serves as the manifestation of everything that is anti-family.

What is perhaps most emblematic of the Republican Party’s moral bankruptcy is that it is all too clear that they know how crazy Trump is. Does anyone really think that Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), who refused to endorse Trump after he won the nomination, supports the president? Does anyone really believe that Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), whose wife is a Taiwanese immigrant, approves of Trump’s racism? The fact of the matter is that these men stand behind Trump because they are afraid of the repercussions if they speak out. They are afraid to say what they truly believe because they believe their political careers will be in jeopardy. Cowards. The Founding Fathers spoke their mind with the knowledge that their actions could be met with the gallows; today’s leaders refuse to stand-up to tyranny for fear that peo-

Over the course of the last couple of years, America has taken a decidedly downward turn in its morals.

Over the course of the last couple of years, America has taken a decidedly downward turn in its morals. Though the land of the free has never truly embraced its utopian idea of “all men are created equal,” we have nevertheless worked to break through the barriers preventing the attainment of such a goal. Now, however, instead of breaking barriers, we are constructing walls. Instead of striving for a better society, we are deconstructing once established moral norms. Instead of creating a dialogue for change, we cry “fake news” and rip one another apart on social media. This is not a period of progress; rather, it is an era of retrograde.

At the helm of this decline is our president.

There was once a sort of majestic dignity to the office of the presidency. Though presidents have time and time again violated this dignity behind the closed doors of the West Wing, the leader of the free world nevertheless put on a face of resilience and honor in public. Now, not only has President Trump boasted about the ugliness of his self-centered egoism, he has caused irreparable

ple will get mad at them.

But America’s moral bankruptcy extends beyond politics. The Logan Paul controversy stands out as another example of a society on the decline. Though the world cried in outrage over Paul mocking the corpses of those who had committed suicide, I find the whole premise of his YouTube channel to be repulsive. This “comedian” makes millions of dollars off of insulting people, being rude and annoying, and constantly screaming at the top of his lungs. And if you look beyond the suicide jokes, Paul’s entire Tokyo video mocked Japanese culture and embodied the very ideal of the “ugly American.” Young tweens and teens look at this man — an individual who quite literally contributes nothing of value to society — as a role model. Our young people look to this suicide-mocking internet star — not civil rights activists, nor policymakers, nor writers and artists — as the ideal person.

I am not arguing that we should return to a past America — that is, quite literally, the opposite of progress. But at least we once strived to be something better. It is my hope that we can re-embrace the desire to fight for a better country and world. The morality of this nation is not defined by whether we achieve the values of fairness, justice and universal freedom; rather,

There was once a sort of majestic dignity to the office of the presidency. our moral character is determined by how hard we fight for those virtues. It is only when we have the courage to stand-up to intolerance, misogyny, racism, bigotry and bullying that we will truly re-embrace sense of morality.

Bob Dylan’s a Tool

M

aybe you’ve read The 36 Questions That Lead to Love on The New York Times’ website. The piece enumerates 36 increasingly intimate questions that apparently accelerate intimacy and facilitate pair bonding. One of my current entrepreneurial ventures is The 36 Questions That Lead to Disdain, one of which is “What’s your most unpopular opinion?”

Mine is that I hate Bob Dylan.

I don’t hate his music (I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it). I’ll throw on “Quinn the Eskimo” every now and then if I’m in the right mood, and “Who Killed Davey Moore?” has a few good lines. I’ve just never understood the fascination with the man. If you asked me to name an artist who meant more to the progressive community than Dylan, I’d name Pete Seeger or Woody Guthrie. If you asked me for a better songwriter, I’d point you toward Paul Simon or John Prine. And if you asked me to identify someone who’s just plain cooler than Bob Dylan, I’d name just about anybody. Anyone from Adele to ZZ Top. I’d name Ed Sheeran or Nicki Minaj or even Van Morrison, for God’s sake.

I’d name all those people because Bob Dylan is not a cool guy. He’s a cornball and a tool. At a 1965 press conference, a reporter asked “if you were gonna sell out to a commercial interest, which one would you choose?” and Dylan’s response was “ladies garments.”

Definitely douchey, but admittedly not that bad. What is bad is that, thirty-nine years later, ol’ Zimmy followed through on his promise by appearing in a Victoria’s Secret ad that might very well be the most cringe-inducing thing ever produced by anyone in any medium.

The commercial features a bikini-clad Adrianna Lima, and yet I’ve never found anything less arousing in my life. It’s a sexual Dementor of Azkaban; watching the thing makes you feel as though you’ll never be turned on again. I strongly suggest that you don’t look it up.

If you need further proof of Bob Dylan’s boorishness, look no further than his Nobel Prize acceptance speech (that he was apparently “too busy” to read personally at the award ceremony).

He compares himself to Shakespeare, he doesn’t thank anyone besides the Swedish academy, and he says that he

never “had the time to ask [him]self, ‘Are my songs literature?’.” No no no, no time for such esoteric questions as that. Ya jackass. You didn’t have time to ask yourself that question, but you had time to appear in commercials for Victoria’s Secret and IBM and Pepsi. Ya toolbag. Go cheat your fans out of some more money with your god-awful Sinatra covers. Ya jerkweed.

was worth liking on his own merits. I wouldn’t be surprised if Grumpy Cat or Pepe the Frog wins a Nobel Prize in 40 years; it’s the “golden years” effect. But there’s more to life than memes and Highway 61 Revisited, people. Whatever else Dylan was, he was undoubtedly the voice of a generation, which is a title that has gone tragically unclaimed since Kurt Cobain died. We’re a generation

Bob Dylan was a meme before memes were invented.

Bob Dylan was a meme before memes were invented. The younger generation liked him because the older generation found him bewildering and vaguely offensive. And it’s entirely understandable that, when the younger younger generation came along, this meme-ish irony was lost on them and they viewed Bob Dylan as someone that

living half in the past and half in the future, and the former is easier to fix than the latter. Let Bob Dylan go; he’s not that great anyway.

Humane Monsters and Monstrous Humans

COURTESY OF FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES

F

ollowing Guillermo del Toro’s Best Director win at the Oscars last week, graphics creator La Botica Gráfica posted a GIF celebrating his victory on social media. Something about the GIF captivated me. A cartoon Guillermo Del Toro slowly pivots, hoisting his trophy in front of an unseen crowd. But I was charmed by the characters in the background.

Behind del Toro, a sampling of the creatures and monsters that he’s spent his career creating cheer for him. On the right stand Doug Jones’ Amphibian Man and Ron Perlman’s Hellboy, both golf-clapping politely. On the left, Trollhunters’ Blinky and AARRRGGHH!!! (I swear that’s the character’s actual name) grin and pump their fists. In the middle, the Faun and the Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth (and also both portrayed by Jones) linger ominously, stock still but for a slight smirk on the Faun’s face.

I can’t put my finger on why, but I felt overjoyed to see del Toro, a director who’s spent his career creating monsters and creatures, win Best Director. (His win was, of course, coupled with a Best Picture win for his film, The Shape of Water.)

I do find del Toro viscerally likable.

Maybe it’s just the wise look behind his circular glasses, or his wide smile.

Maybe it’s the fact that his collection of

monstrous props, art and artifacts grew so large that it warranted a public exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2016. Del Toro just seems so utterly happy that he gets to create his outlandish, unnerving worlds and share them with all of us.

As I reflected more on what drew me to del Toro, I realized that the Best Picture nominees this year made up a sort of two-way mirror. They gazed at the same idea from slightly altered perspectives. Excluding perhaps historical pieces The Post and Darkest Hour, most of the nominees focused on (and I know this sounds cliché) what it means to be human.

Sa o i r s e Ronan navigated high school as “Lady Bird” McPherson in Greta Gerwig’s directorial debut, pinging b e t w e e n extremes of rebellion and v u l n e r a b i l i t y.

Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name depicted the misery of falling in (impossible) love. Still, what mainly interested me was this: While del Toro uses monsters and creatures to understand humanity, a number of other

restrial look, which included a model with silver hair and makeup in a silver dress with sheen that was very unique.

Other level one designer, Grace Rickert ’21, spoke about how this limited number of looks was beneficial since “I just knew I always wanted to do something that was like a koi pond motif in dress form, [to follow the second tier theme of surrealism] I had the fish swimming off the dress and on to her. It was just one of those things I had thought of for a long time so this was kinda my chance.” She also said an eco-conscious mindset is important to her designs, as she has been influenced not only by her courses at Cornell, but by her upbring in the greater Los Angeles area.

Although all of the designers in the show displayed impressive work, one collection seemed to stand on its own. Third level designer Grace Lawson’s ’18 collection Doyenne, which, as Lawson said in a statement for the sun, was “inspired by 1950s silhouettes” and

directors flipped the vector, looking at the monstrosity of humans.

Christopher Nolan’s maximalist war film Dunkirk showed the desperation of young men caught up in a monstrous war, replete with stormy gray skies and the incessant tick of a watch in Hans Zimmer’s score. Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread (without giving too much away) looks at the horrifying lengths people will go to in order to wield control. Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri features an ensemble of characters who challenge viewers by alternating between horrible and heroic actions.

Jordan Peele, who won a muchdeserved Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, used hyperbole to call the racism of many white liberals into relief. Peele’s allegory felt like it was in the same family as The Shape of Water, using extreme, psychopathic villains as foils for the United States racial climate.

Del Toro has openly discussed the metaphoric meanings of his latest offering. In an interview with NPR from December last year, he stated, “The movie is about connecting with ‘the other’… You know, the idea of empathy, the idea of how we do need each other to survive.” But what is it that makes del Toro’s monstrous allegories so compelling?

Delving into completely different t e r r i t o r y, another perspective on human monstrosity and entertainment comes from last week’s Morning Bowl of finale of The B a c h e l o r ’s Surreal 22nd season.

To quickly recap (major spoilers, obviously), bachelor star and tall, boring child Arie Luyendyk Jr. initially proposed to finalist and far-better person Becca Kufrin. Luyendyk then got cold feet and called off his engage-

consisted of mainly formal evening-wear, was beautiful and garnished a warm reception from the crowd. Not only were the designs of each piece moving, but the modeling of the utmost quality. Models performed difficult transitions, including the turning of a skirt into a cape that took the crowd’s breath away, flawlessly. Her eye for combining practicality with elegance is second to none, and the Sun eagerly awaits her level four collection.

The show was as interesting and expressive as the clothes themselves. Designers were clearly attempting to make statements, though some were more obvious than others.

These attempts raise the questions of what is the best way to express controversial opinions and how do they affect one’s fellow designers and the integrity of the show. We loved seeing the imagery and the creativity from using waste to showcasing the human body. From billowing evening gowns to reused bottles, each collection was unique and beautiful.

ment with Kufrin to try to win back runner-up Lauren Burnham.

This alone isn’t horrific. The break was incredibly painful for Kufrin, I’m sure, but people have doubts, engagements get called off, these things happen. But god, oh god, Luyendyk could not have picked a worse way to go about it.

After giving Kufrin zero warning, Luyendyk brought a camera crew into their shared home to tell her that he was calling the wedding off to try again with Burnham. During breaks in the episode, Bachelor host Chris Harrison told the audience again, and again, and again that the footage of the break-up is uncut and unedited — a television first!

You may be watching someone realize that their future is suddenly being ripped away from them, but hey, at least you’re witnessing television history.

Sure, much of The Bachelor feels stunt-y and ridiculous, but the idea of filming someone being blindsided with one of their worst nightmares for reality TV ratings feels George Saundersesque. Since the finale, there have already been a plethora of think-pieces dramatically swearing off the series.

I’m leagues away from being a misanthrope. There are overarching, structural problems that make the world we live in a profoundly unfair one, but I still think that most people you see out on the street are pretty alright and trying their best. Still, The Bachelor finale was particularly unnerving because it evidences the banality of being a terrible person. Luyendyk wasn’t stranded on a beach in the middle of a World War, or a controlling genius, or a murderer. He was just a self-absorbed jerk.

So when television shows and films hold a magnifying glass up to the terrible, hateful aspects of humanity, I find myself looking for the del Toro’s of the world, the purveyors of the magical, supernatural and uncanny. Is it escapism? Definitely, but it helps.

C.U. to Face Red-Hot Tigers in Semifinals

By RAPHY GENDLER Sun Assistant Sports Editor

As the top-seeded Red completed a dominant sweep of Quinnipiac, Clarkson, Harvard and Princeton also advanced to the ECAC semifinals. Recap the action from around the ECAC quarterfinals below.

Dartmouth at Harvard

The underdog Green won game one, but Olympian Ryan Donato and No. 4 seed Harvard took control in the series’ final two games to advance to Lake Placid, where it will play third-seeded Clarkson. Donato’s hat trick in game three propelled the Crimson to a 4-2 win, a night after dominating the Green, 7-1. Adam Fox scored twice in the big win to force game three.

Colgate at Clarkson

Star Colgate goaltender Colton Point made 31 saves in a 2-1 game one victory, but it wasn’t enough to topple Clarkson, whose Jake Kielly posted a shutout in a 3-0 Golden Knight victory to force game three. In the finale on Sunday, Clarkson’s offense showed its scoring ability, beating Point and the Raiders, 5-1.

Point and Kielly, two of the country’s best goaltenders, stole the show in games one and two, respectively, before Clarkson ran away from Colgate in the rubber match to earn a semifinal date with Harvard.

Princeton at Union

After dominating Brown with a relentless scoring attack, the Tigers went on the road and swept Union, the No. 2 seed in the conference. Princeton scored three goals in the third period of game one to take a 5-3 victory, and earned the upset sweep thanks to a dramatic game-winner in the third period of game two.

After Princeton took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission, the Dutchmen came storming back in the second to tie the game at two. As the third period wound down, David Hallisey scored with 9.5 seconds left, giving his team a 3-2 win.

Icers Advance to Semifinals with Sweep of Bobcats Penalty kill, gritty defense lead the way in hard-hitting battle GAME TWO

Continued from page 16

ond as senior forward and captain Alex Rauter buried a rebound. “[Quinnipiac] did exactly what we thought they would do,” Schafer said. “They came out, they played hard, they played physical. They’re a very prideful team and we knew that’s what was going to happen.”

Freshman forward Kyle Betts assisted on both Cornell goals. Rauter put a rebound of Betts’ shot past Quinnipiac goaltender Keith Petruzzelli for the game’s first goal, and Vanderlaan buried one in the third to double the Cornell lead courtesy of a Betts assist.

“The second period we knew we wanted to come out a little harder, and it was huge that we got that goal,” Rauter said. “Kyle Betts made a great play coming down the wing … it was a great momentum boost for sure.”

Vanderlaan left Quinnipiac’s Nick Jermain facedown on the ice after a big hit near the Cornell blue line and was called for a game misconduct and ejected — the team’s second of the period. Cornell would be shorthanded for the remaining 3:49 of the game.

“That was probably the first time I’ve ever seen two players get kicked out with fives in the same game, it was kind of outrageous,” Rauter said.

“Whenever we face adversity we kind of rise to the challenge, and the penalty killers did a great job.”

Schafer, frustrated with the three reviews of Cornell penalties in the contest, said neither Vanderlaan nor Angello had any malicious intent.

“I think [Vanderlaan has] two penalties this year,” Schafer said. “He’s skating away from him, the kid runs into him.”

The game was a hard-hitting affair from the opening whistle and the Bobcats certainly didn’t resemble the same team that was embarrassed 24 hours prior.

“I just think [Quinnipiac] competed so much harder tonight and we didn’t have the same jump,” Schafer said. “Our games against these guys all year have been … tight games.”

The conference rivals and frequent playoff foes showcased renewed energy in the series’ second game.

“We knew it was going to be intense and competitive,” Rauter said. “As the game wore on it was pretty evident that … we came to play and we were ready to compete.”

With Princeton’s upset victory to sweep No. 2 seed Union earlier in the night, the Red will face the redhot Tigers in the semifinal next weekend.

about going into the weekend.”

Junior defenseman Alec McCrea, the newly-minted ECAC defensive defenseman of the year, kicked things off for Cornell just 1:47 into the first period. The Bobcats tied it up on a power play goal by Tanner MacMaster not long thereafter, but that would be all for the Quinnipiac scoresheet.

Cornell took the lead once more on a goal from senior forward Alex Rauter and never looked back, steamrolling its opponent goal after goal. The Red added another goal with under a minute left in the first to take a 3-1 lead into the intermission.

In his first game back from a month of injury, junior forward Mitch Vanderlaan scored twice to help his team take a commanding victory.

“I felt good physically,” Vanderlaan said. “First game in a while, there were some jitters, but got those out pretty quick.”

Schafer spoke highly of the return of his star forward and the impact that it had on the team. “[Vanderlaan] is our captain and a leader,” he said. “I thought he set the tone.”

It seemed like the first time in ages that Cornell turned in a healthy line sheet after several players had been sidelined with various injuries in the final weeks of the regular season.

“It was definitely helpful to have some guys back,” said junior forward Beau Starrett. “It helps seeing [Vanderlaan] work because he’s one of the players to … lead by example.”

Cornell seemed to benefit from the bye week that it had earned after securing the conference’s top seed, allowing some much-needed rejuvenation.

“I felt like the week off gave us some jump to our legs and got some guys healthy that had been in and out of the lineup,” Schafer said.

What’s more, the week off also seemed to present an opportunity for the team as a whole to get some rest and enter the playoffs ready to “First game in a while, roll — evident in its ninethere were some jitters, goal performance. but got those “I think the bye week gave everybody on the team out pretty quick.” some fresher legs,” Vanderlaan said. “So everyJunior Mitch Vanderlaan one was full of energy tonight and it paid off.”

Cornell took a five-goal lead 11:16 into the second period, when Vanderlaan’s second tally of the game made it 6-1 in favor of Cornell. At that point, Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold decided to pull his starting netminder, Keith Petruzzelli, in favor of Josh Mayanja.

Mayanja had no luck against the potent Cornell offense either, and when the second intermission finally provided the Bobcats with a much-needed break in play, the Red had potted six goals in the frame and sported a 9-1 lead.

One of the Red’s most successful groups was its fourth line of senior Jared Fiegl, Starrett and sophomore Jeff Malott. The group posted three goals on the night — two by Starrett and one by Malott — while Fiegl added a pair of assists.

“Guys were rolling,” Starrett said. “We have to keep our legs going, keep working them and finishing checks and keep that going for a full 60 minutes of the game and we’ll be successful.”

Entering Friday’s game, Quinnipiac had found great success on the power play towards the end of the regular season, scoring a goal on 25.8 percent of its extra-man opportunities in the month of February. Cornell successfully killed 4 of 5 penalties to keep the Bobcats at bay. “[Quinnipiac has] always had great special teams,” Schafer said. “We knew that they are definitely a team you don’t want to get into a special teams war with.”

In the third period, which saw no further scoring, Schafer subbed out starting goaltender freshman Matt Galajda in favor of senior Hayden Stewart, who had started the last game of the regular season after Cornell had clinched the No. 1 seed in the ECAC playoffs. “[We’re] thinking about tomorrow night,” Schafer said after the game. “Both teams understand it’s a series, and trying to keep guys fresh for the next game.”

that they found a way to fix late in the game.”

Senior goaltender Christian Knight continued his strong start to the season, making 13 saves as a reliable backstop for the Cornell defense. “[Knight] is not even reliably good, he’s reliably great right now,” Milliman said. “He was seeing the ball very well today. They got a couple in on him early, but he really performed down the stretch when he needed to.”

Cornell won the discipline battle in crunch time, committing just one penalty on the day while the Nittany Lions had four in the final quarter alone.

“I think our guys typically are a pretty disciplined team,” Milliman said. “I think they stay inside of our system and stay inside of themselves.”

Game: Penn State Cornell

By DYLAN McDEVITT Sun Sports Editor

In a showcase of grit and late-game intensity, Cornell men’s lacrosse defeated Penn State on Saturday afternoon at U.S. Lacrosse’s Tierney Field in Maryland.

Despite trailing 3-0 after the opening quarter, the Red (32) held steady throughout, ultimately overpowering the Nittany Lions (4-3) in the final frame, scoring six times in the fourth quarter en route to a 9-7 victory. With the win, Cornell secured a winning record for the first time in nearly two years.

“The guys really showed some heart,” said interim head coach Peter Milliman. “They wanted to win the game.”

Sophomore attack Jeff Teat led the way for the Red,

notching six points on two goals and four assists. Senior midfielder Jordan Dowiak and sophomore attack Clarke Petterson added a trio of goals each in a display of Cornell’s familiar offensive faces. “[Teat] is a very high level attackman,” Milliman said.

“He’s patient, he dodges, not for himself but for his team … he’s always looking for his teammates.”

Down 6-2 near the end of the third, Cornell scored four unanswered to tie the game before Penn State restored its lead by one goal. But that would be all for the Penn State scoresheet, as the Red notched the game’s final three tallies to secure the victory.

“I thought our guys showed some real toughness at the end of the game,” Milliman said. “They kind of willed their way back in there. I think we were working on some things

The Red’s struggles on faceoffs continued Saturday afternoon, winning eight draws to Penn State’s 11. On the clear, Cornell was 12 of 16 for a .750 percentage, showing a regression to its early season troubles. “[Clearing] is more than an issue, it’s a problem for us right now,” Milliman said. “We need to get better at those.”

The win is the Red’s first over a ranked opponent since it topped then-No. 13 Princeton in last season’s final contest.

Dating back to April 1 of last year, Cornell is 7-4 in its last 11 games.

“We are definitely ready to be winners,” Milliman said.

“Guys definitely take pride in the success of this program and put in the hard work to make it successful. I think they’re definitely excited to be competitive.”

The Red is back in action next Saturday when it opens Ivy League play against Yale at Schoellkopf field at 1 p.m.

ments and we got stagnant at times,” said junior guard Matt Morgan. “We just didn’t make enough shots to loosen up their defense [and] move the ball as much as possible, but they did a good job adjusting to what we were doing.”

Junior forward Stone Gettings ended the night with just nine points and five boards — a stark contrast from his previous 20 and 30 point outings against the Crimson.

“In those [previous two] games, we had it going, but also took what was given to us,” Gettings said. “If they’re backing off of us and they’re giving us shots then we’re going to take them. I thought early on it was pretty evenly distributed in terms of scoring because [Harvard was] doing a good job of denying [Morgan and me] the ball.”

Harvard big man Seth Towns, recently named the Ivy League’s Player of the Year, led the opposition with a game-high 24 points and 12 rebounds.

Despite running some effective zone defenses early in the first period, the Red ultimately fell victim to some hot Harvard shooting on the defensive end. After a questionable play in which Juzang knocked over junior Jack Gordon before draining a halfcourt shot, the Crimson shot 50 percent from downtown in the second half. Cornell was also outrebounded in the game, 37-25.

I don’t know if it stuck with us [in the locker room], but it was tough to see,” Earl said of the half-court shot. “The refs had a tough job … [Juzang] was backing up and hit [Gordon] and I guess it wasn’t a foul. It’s unfortunate and we would’ve preferred it didn’t happen, but it is what it is.”

“He’s versatile and our defense is a little bit of scramble [so] when they move the ball to him ... we occasionally have a matchup that’s not great.”

Chris Lewis added another double-double for the Crimson with 16 points and 10 boards, and Juzang added 12 points on four treys to seal the win.

Cornell Dominates Quinnipiac in Quarterfinals Defense stands tall in shutout victory to clinch spot in semis

By RAPHY GENDLER Sun Assistant Sports Editor

Just 24 hours after a nine-goal thrashing of Quinnipiac, Cornell men’s hockey earned a much closer victory against the Bobcats to secure a two-game sweep and earn a trip to the ECAC Championship weekend in Lake Placid.

After subjecting Quinnipiac to a throttling 9-1 victory in game one, it didn’t come nearly as easily Saturday, but Cornell men’s hockey dispatched the Bobcats in two games after earning a 2-0 victory Saturday night.

Freshman goaltender Matt Galajda’s ninth shutout, key shotblocking and some clutch Cornell penalty killing were the keys in a Red victory.
