Vijay Pendakur, who took over as the new Robert W and Elizabeth C Staley Dean of Students earlier this month, said he wanted to become a high school history teacher when he was in college

“I grew up in a community where some of the smartest people I knew never got a shot at higher education,” Pendakur said “In college, I thought about being a high school history teacher so that I could work with younger folks and empower them to succeed ”

Instead, he stumbled into student affairs through a series of chance encounters and decided to pursue a career in higher education because it fit strongly with his passions and strengths, according to Pendakur “I found that I loved the kinds of questions college students often ask of themselves and the world,” he said “I am drawn to the excitement and self-discovery that often accompanies a rich undergraduate experience ” Prior to assuming the posi-

tion as Dean of Students on Jan 3, Pendakur served in student affairs offices at University of WisconsinMadison, DePaul University and CSU Fullerton, according to his LinkedIn profile Pendakur said he hopes his past experiences will allow him “ to reimagine what our programming model looks like and pursue strategies that allow us to truly transform the student experience ”

“I have had the privilege of working for amazing leaders

that have taught me that making change in higher education is about building relationships with lots of people, listening more than talking and having the humility to admit when I have made a mistake,” he said

Pendakur said he experienced several volatile campus incidents when he was a student leader at his alma mater, UW-Madison, and hopes those events will help him understand the needs of students at Cornell “I can remember, intimately, my own feelings

Weed Stench Not Enough to Trigger Search Of Pedestrians

By NICHOLAS BOGEL-BURROUGHS Sun Staff Writer

Police cannot search pedestrians in Tompkins County based solely on the fact that they smell or reek of marijuana, according to a Tompkins County Court decision that reaffirmed a lower court ’ s ruling

“The mere odor of marihuana emanating from a pedestrian, without more, does not create reasonable suspicion that a crime has occurred, and consequently does not authorize law enforcement to forcibly stop, frisk or search the individual,” Ithaca City Court Judge Scott Miller ruled in 2015

After the district attorney ’ s office appealed that ruling, Tompkins County Court Judge John Rowley reaffirmed Miller’s decision last month, setting a standard for police searches of people who smell like weed in Tompkins County

“The lower court, in its detailed opinion, properly found that the police lacked the requisite reasonable suspicion that a crime had been, was being or was about to be committed to justify forcibly handcuffing respondent and searching him for marihuana,” Rowley wrote, dismissing Assistant District Attorney Brad Rudin’s appeal

“The mere odor of marihuana emanating from a pedestrian does not authorize law enforcement to forcibly search an individual ”

The case stems from the 2014 search and arrest of Raphael Brukner near Dewitt Park in downtown Ithaca by two members of the Ithaca Police Department, who were on bicycle patrol when they smelled burnt marijuana emanating from Brukner, according to Miller’s ruling

Officers Kevin Slattery and Richard Niemi ordered Brukner to face a wall and put his hands behind his back so they could check for weapons and weed

The officers said they ultimately found a marijuana pipe on Brukner and a tin containing a small amount of pot nearby however, the search was illegal, according to Miller

Children Are ‘Forgotten Victims’ of Incarceration, Prof Says

By ALANA SULLIVAN Sun Staff Writer

Mass incarceration in the U S is more than a statistic, and it affects more than just the people behind bars, argued Prof John Hagan, sociology and law, Northwestern University, at a lecture Monday in Uris Hall

The forgotten victims of the incarceration state, Hagan said, are children whose parents are prisoners As people born during the War on Drugs begin to come of age, the consequences of having imprisoned parents are now coming to light

“Because [the spike in national incarceration numbers] began in the ’80s, and many of these children are now young adults, we ’ re seeing the unfolding life consequences on these children,” Hagan said “Long-term negative effects are even witnessed in children living in places where there are many incarcerated parents, even if their own parents are not incarcerated ”

Children of incarcerated parents are at risk for future financial insecurity, food insecurity, lack of healthcare and low education, according to Hagan, who also noted the role race plays in the outcomes of at risk youth Just as incarceration rates dispropor tionately affect minority groups, particularly African Americans, the children of prisoners who belong to minority groups have more negative “ outcomes ” in these areas

Criminology in 2009 and is co-director of the Center on Law & Globalization at the American Bar Foundation, emphasized the central role that state and local governments have played and will continue to play in both creating and resolving problems related to incarceration

Hagan reviewed various federal acts and initiatives like President Nixon’s “ War on Drugs,” President Reagan’s state-favoring “devolution revolution,” and President Clinton’s 1994 crime bill and 1996 welfare reform law These initiatives have all spawned not only the relatively high incarceration rate of the U S , but also the serious problems that affect children of incarcerated individuals, according to Hagan

ent ’ s incarceration, particularly of a mother, last well into adulthood

As for the future state of prison reform and national incarceration, Hagan said it will be state governments rather than the federal government that may have the biggest role to play

Citing several studies showing the large variability among individual states in reducing or in some cases failing to reduce incarceration rates, Hagan emphasized the growing role individual state governments, and state welfare policies in particular, will play in reducing national incarceration rates

“[One study] gave a big pitch for focusing on the states, on state-level data, and pointed to a persistence in the related trends of increasing incarceration rates and decrease in welfare support, ” Hagan said

Just how large the variability in incarceration rates between states really is has been revealed in more recent studies

“ There are a few states since 2010 that have really started to decline, places like New York, California, New Jersey, notably getting well into the double digits [of percentage in decreased incarceration] But there’s still quite a number of states that have only decreased a little, and there’s even 10 or 12 states that are still increasing incarceration,” Hagan said “It’s striking to me, how many states are still invested in punitiveness ”

These studies, coupled with the failed bipartisan criminal justice reform attempt in the Senate this past year, polarization in Congress and the results of the 2016 presidential election all point towards greater state influence, according to Hagan

“If [the Federal Government] continue[s] the trend that I think goes back to the Johnson

“It’s striking to me, how many states are still invested in punitiveness ” P r o f J o h n H a g a n

block grants giving funds to states, there’s ever y reason to think that state variability [of prison population] will increase,” Hagan said Caught up in the politics of prison reform and mass incarceration are the futures of millions of children

“All of [these initiatives] impacted, in terms of jeopardizing and making more vulnerable, the needs and rights of children, particularly through the mass incarceration of parents, and so this whole theme of mass incarceration has become so prominent in American society,” Hagan said

Citing several studies, notably the Add Health Study a national longitudinal study of children from adolescence to adulthood and his own research, Hagan described how the negative effects that come with a par-

NYC Hedge Fund Buys Space In Cornell Tech Building

Plans to integrate research, company initiatives

By HNIN EI WAI LWIN Sun Staff Writer

Two Sigma Investments will be the first company to carve out a place in Cornell Tech campus ’ s The Bridge, a building set to open in September that is dedicated to joining Cornell’s academic research with tech companies

The Collision Lab, where Two Sigma’s research and development engineers will work with startups and Cornell researchers to develop the company ’ s initiatives, will consume the space

Two Sigma is a New York City hedge fund that uses computer systems to search and collect data, make predictions and execute automatic trades It has over $ 3 7 b i l l i o n i n a s s e t s under management, according to its website

of Forest City Ratner Companies “The Bridge is designed to encourage the random interactions and deep collaborations that solve problems, build partnerships and accelerate new products to market ”

Alfred Spector said the firm’s goal is to “gain value from the world’s data, particularly in areas related to economics and finance ”

from technology companies interested in the recruitment of talent ” Cornell Tech will take up 39 percent of The Bridge, while remaining space will be dedicated to corporate use

Around 15 to 18 organizations would fill the building and occupy spaces no more

“I think we need to understand how these changes are influencing particularly the children of the prison generation We now have an enormous number of children affected, now well into the millions,” Hagen said “It’s crucial that we document these things, get [the information] out there quickly and into public discussion and put pressure on other states that are caught up on the punitive side ”

than 10,000-square feet, the size of Two Sigma’s space, according to Mar y Ann Tighe, chief executive of CBRE Group Inc and a member of the group leasing office space in the Bridge

“Two Sigma is a terrific example of how technology can be applied to change the world and a fitting first tenant for the Bridge,” said Dan Huttenlocher, dean of Cornell Tech “This is the centerpiece for what we are trying to do, which is build an environment where established companies, startups, government agencies, nonprofits a n d a c a d e m i a c a n w o rk m o

The first phase of Cornell Tech scheduled to open this September includes The Bridge, The Bloomberg Center, which is the first academic building on campus, and The House, which is a residential building for graduate students, faculty and staff It will also contain companies working alongside Cornell Tech graduates and faculty

“This building, under a single roof, should not be just a breeder of talent but should launch a billion ideas,” Gilmartin said

Cornell Has Fewest One-Percenters of All Ivy League Schools

INCOME

Continued from page 1

a l a ve r a g e was $76,499

Jaelle Sanon ’19 who attended a high-achieving, lowincome Boston high school where all students received free breakfast, free lunch and SAT fee waivers said Cornell’s wealthy skew can be alienating

“A lot of low-income students don’t see a path to Cornell,” Sanon said “We see how hard it is to get [in], and [it’s] extremely expensive, so we think, ‘why should I apply?’”

“It’s kind of difficult to say, ‘I am a normal student,’” Sanon added “ There are definitely things that I have to worry about that other students don’t ”

Financial aid helps, Sanon said, but smaller purchases add up: hundreds of dollars for books, a $90 gym membership and more Sanon added that being lowincome in a wealthy environment can make students feel out of place and noted the importance of a strong friend group

“The experience when you see other students talking about the trips that they’ve taken and where they’ve been because their parents have been able to afford those things can be a bit awkward,” Sanon said “But if you have a d f f i d d k

-

right offices to go to, then I think it’s manageable ”

An Institution Where Many Rise to the Top

Even though students in lower income brackets are underrepresented at Cornell, those who do attend often rise to the top income brackets after graduating By limiting the data sample to students born in 1980, 1981 and 1982, the cohort with the most stable incomes researchers found that lowincome students who attend elite institutions are more likely to end up in the one percent Ivy League schools have uniquely high “upper-tier success rates ” the percent of students from the bottom income quintile who rise to the top one percent Cornell’s upper-tier success rate 10 4 percent is high compared to all schools, but one of the worst in the Ivies, beating out only Brown

In a random sample of 200 Cornell students, one of those students would be both from the bottom 20 percent income bracket and move to the top one percent later in life, which makes Cornell the ninth-best mobilizer of students to the top tier in the country

Sanon said this statistic reassures her that the sacrifices her family made to send her to Cornell may very well pay off after she graduates

“It gives me hope that all the things I’m doing here will allow me to provide for my family and that Cornell is worth me leaving my family for four years and probably more, ” Sanon said

Cornell Student Mobility Lags Behind N.Y. Schools

University struggles to move students from lowest income bracket to highest 20 percent

Continued from page 4

“I am the youngest of seven, and I am a child of an immigrant and I am an immigrant myself,” Sanon added “So when I leave my home to come here, I’m not just leaving my family, but I’m also leaving my dad, who doesn’t speak English very well I’m usually the translator the person who’s calling the cable company and things like that ”

... But Only if You Can Get In

While Cornell and other elite institutions stand out in moving the bottom 20 percent to the top one percent, these institutions lag behind other colleges in moving the bottom 20 percent to the top 20 percent Less selective institutions, the data show, enroll more students from the bottom 20 percent and successfully move those students to the top 20 percent

Other New York colleges, including the entire CUNY system, are picking up the slack in mobilizing students from lower income brackets to the top 20 percent

Sanon said Cornell could send people from low-income communities to those same communities to recruit so that prospective students could “ see themselves at Cornell ” She also said resources from low-income students should be publicized more

“So if those were more clear and open, then those low-income students would not feel like Cornell is this mysterious, expensive place that they can ’ t see themselves going to, ” Sanon said

The Equalizer

Because students at the high school Sanon attended had to pass an exam before they could enroll, Sanon was surrounded by highperforming students who she said may have underestimated their own ability

“People are getting 4 0 [GPAs] and they’re going to schools

“You can’t enjoy all of the things Cornell has to offer when your parents are struggling to pay rent.”

J a e l l e S a n o n ’ 1 9

with people with 2 0s,” Sanon said “Sometimes I’m like, ‘oh my god, y ’all could’ve done so much better at Cornell Y ’all are smart I don’t know why y ’all are there,’” Sanon added, laughing

The data supports Sanon’s speculation

One of the study’s more significant findings was that incomebased “mismatch effects” the alleged tendency of students from low-income backgrounds to perform poorly at schools with wealthier classmates are almost nonexistent across all types of schools This means that if Sanon’s low-income but qualified classmates had gone to Cornell, they may very well have earned nearly the same income as Cornell’s wealthiest students

But Sanon was quick to add that the virtue of low-income students attending Cornell is more

than wealth it is about being treated fairly

“There are so many people who fall for the trap of schools that accept a lot of students especially on high them else to end u said N accor “C Ivies invest i n

you, ” she said “They care about their graduation rate and they care about you, ” she said

But attending an Ivy League institution does not eliminate all

struggling to pay rent, or dealing with gentrification if your parents are dealing with those things it’s really hard because you ’ re here, but it feels like you ’ re dealing

your parents are at home struggling to pay rent ”

Ice packs, painkillers and elastic bandages are silent attendees at any sporting event Capable of soothing sprains and bruises, athletes around the world over depend on their support

But swollen and painful joints are not simply a byproduct of physical exertion In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1 percent of the world’s population suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and complains of similar symptoms Its socioeconomic effects are incalculable Simple painkillers are incapable of mitigating the pain patients suffer Consequently, they have to turn to power ful immunosuppressants that have significant side effects

However, promising ne w research at Cornell’s College of Veterinar y Medicine could soon lead to alternative treatments without these unwanted effects

ble for regulating inflammation when the immune system detects any danger to tissue, such as from pathogens or physical damage When the danger has passed, HDACs release inhibitors capable of suppressing such an inflammatory response Chang’s molecule activates these inhibitors in the presence of U V light generated by unnatural, high-powered sources HDAC inhibitors are used to treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases but are known to detrimentally affect heart function According to Chang, this new technique could prevent such side effects because its selective targeting ensures that HDACs all over the body aren ’ t affected

“We hope to improve on these methods by developing technologies that are selective or specific to the target or affected tissue.”

Led by Prof Pamela Chang, microbiology and immunology, researchers have created a molecule that, when exposed to U V radiation, is capable of controlling immune responses and thus, tackling inflammation

P r o f P a m e l a C h a n g

“In the clinic, current therapies include drugs that modulate inflammation systemically and they often have off-target or side effects to the healthy, surrounding tissue We hope to improve on these methods by developing technologies that are selective or specific to the target or affected tissue,” Chang said Enzymes, known as histone deacetylases, are responsi-

Consequently, doctors have better control over treatment procedures that target chronic inflammation Immune responses continue normally except at the specific locations at which U V light is targeted and only during well-defined time periods of exposure The technique also prevents infections that would be a byproduct of a weakened immune response, if drugs that affected HDACs throughout the body are used Chang believes that the technique could help alleviate the pain of patients suffering from diseases like asthma, rheumatoid ar thritis, multiple sclerosis and colitis Existing clinic infrastructure for similar procedures gives rise to enthusiasm that the procedure could eventually make an easy transition to hospitals and medical care centers all over the country Chang insists, however, that work remains “Currently we have not identified any side effects of

our technology, but we are limited in the dose that we can administer due to the toxicity of the photo-caged inhibitor at high doses,” Chang said “We plan to test our methods in vivo with mice to demonstrate its viability for clinical use and are currently working on improving the selectivity of our approach for the target tissue ” Bibudha Parasar grad was also a co-author on the study, titled “Chemical optogenetic modulation of inflammation and immunity” that was published in Chemical Science’s October issue

The ver y cells that created us may have a role in saving our lives

Scientists have always been amazed by the energy production system in a sperm ’ s tail The system drives flagellar movement and is extremely efficient, like a high-speed vehicle with a selfcharging system, independent of external energy sources

Now, Cornell researchers are mimicki n g s u c h a s y s t e m i n t h e h o p e s o f advancing fields such as human and animal health They hope to use their findi n g s t o c r e a t e i m p l a n t a b l e m e d i c a l devices that utilize blood sugar to make products as well as support in drug deliver y “Mammalian sperm have highly efficient energy production systems in their tails,” said Chinatsu Mukai, a postdoc at Cornell’s Travis Lab of Reproduction, Nanotechnology and Conser vation “ We have been studying this system and have been amazed at how nature creates such an efficient, reasonable and flawless system to drive flagellar movement ”

Inspired by this structure, the Travis Lab has engineered a system of 10 glycolytic enzymes tethered via oriented i m m o b i l i z a t i o n t o n a n o p a r t i c l e s

Glycolytic enzymes are enzymes used in glycolysis, a process that creates energy

for the cell Oriented immobilization is fixing the position of an entity, in this case the enzymes

The lab team ’ s goal was to mimic the sperm tail’s energy production system to

This system of enzyme organization provides proof of the principle that complex biological pathways can be reproduced in hybrid organic-inorganic systems

sperm model allowed us to tether these enzymes without inter fering in their activities Thus, they provided higher efficiency of making a final product compared to the enzymes in a non-tethered solution ”

Higher enzyme production can have numerous advantages

“It takes less substrate and time to make a final product,” Mukai said “In addition, these tethered enzymes are portable so any kind of material can be used for the tethering scaffold ” Mukai admits that, due to differences in nature and man-made models, her work on tethered enzymes is incomplete

“ We haven’t completed the entire glyc o l y t i c p a t h w a y, ” Mu k a i s a i d “ O n e enzyme, triose phosphate isomerase, is s t i l l m i s s i n g b e c a

She explains that the path of future research depends on whether or not the missing enzyme can be replicated

“ We would like to find out how TPI is regulated in an actual cell so that we can complete the entire glycolytic pathway, ” Mukai said “ This energy-producing pathway can be combined to any kind of biological reaction that needs energy ”

This isn’t what we expected

Maybe if you attended Donald Glover’s PHAROS concert, or if you took him seriously when he said that this project would be completely different, you weren ’ t caught off guard Though, for most of the casual listeners, the switch from hip-hop to soul/funk/R&B is an unprecedented move

Since Paper Boi, a central character on Glover’s his hit television show, Atlanta, produced rap music, it seemed that Glover himself would continue on this path Nevertheless, the decision to switch from his original genre didn’t result in a flop; rather, Awaken, My Love!” is a masterful collection of Childish Gambino’s premier work

Like the cover art, the album’s leading singles invoke an otherworldly mood through their surreal beats and fluctuating vocals The hypnotic beginning of the opening track, “Me and Your Mama,” entrances the audience by its soporific tone

However, a couple of minutes in, the song offers a startling yet pleasant transition into electric guitars and Glover’s shrieking voice The vibe of the track mimics the vibe of the project in its entirety; a perfect blend of eccentricity and relaxation

Another highlight is the album’s second single, “Redbone ”

The track separates itself from the rest of the pack through its catchiness, ease of listening and soulful tune The groovy harmony crafted by the instrumentals complements the artist’s heartfelt performance

But aside from the superior quality of the music, what does the album really say?

Hamilton a mere mention of its name opens a bevy of conversation But really, what more can be said about the t e n - d o l l a r - b i l l founding father, that has not already been said? Lin ManuelMiranda’s Broadway behemoth already has a Grammy Award-Winning soundtrack that reached #1 on the Rap Albums chart (apparently the first cast album to ever do so), and its shows have been consistently sold out, with some re-sale tickets going upwards of $2,000 Yet Miranda’s involvement with recent films like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Moana, seemed to signal his departure from the musical But surprise, surprise! On December 2, the versatile maestro unleashed The Hamilton Mixtape, a 23-track collection of covers and remixes of the original cast recording, as well as unreleased demos and some new material, all performed by guest artists such as Chance the Rapper, Nas, Sia, Alicia Keys, Usher, John Legend, Busta Rhymes, Wiz Khalifa, Regina Spektor, Jimmy Fallon the Roots and of course, Miranda himself All of these artists provide their unique reinterpretation of the original lyrics of the album, and as a result, they expound upon the musical’s themes of perseverance, integrity and diversity, while also paying homage to the signature charm and aura of the original soundtrack The result is an eclectic and electrifying project that diehard and new fans of the musical can enjoy The mixtape’s strength lies in its ability to tell a different version of the events that transpired in the musical “Say Yes to This” provides an alternative account of Hamilton’s infidelity from the perspective of Mariah Reynolds The original version saw Hamilton’s inner turmoil against rejecting Reynolds advances, but Jill Scott’s performance subverts the viewpoint; she sings with braggadocio and allure as she seductively tempts Alexander to be with her It is unsettling and at the same time dangerously bewitching While the original musical did not give much characterization to Reynolds, this rendition of the song deepens her character Likewise, with “Washingtons By Your Side,” Wiz Khalifa transforms the beat of the original song into a double-time contemporary rap track, complete with auto-tune elements and drums Rather than speaking from Aaron Burr’s perspective, who was jealous of how George Washington always seemed to admire Hamilton, Khalifa speaks of his own life,

From examining his last two albums, CAMP and Because the Internet, it’s clear that Glover likes to weave grandiose themes into his work While “Awaken, My Love!” may simply seem like an ode to Glover’s newborn son and an account of his relationship with the mother, the topics of the prior albums are not completely lost either “Boogieman” deals with issues of police violence, which fits into CAMP’ s unapologetic exploration of Glover’s own experiences with his ethnicity Additionally, the upbeat “California” deals with the complex connection between the internet and romance, a major theme of Because the Internet

In a sense, the Awaken, My Love! is an older, more mature version of Chance the Rapper’s Coloring Book Most of the songs on both albums, some more implicitly than others, either involve messages that involve the intricacies of fatherhood, reflections on current or past relationships or perspectives on certain aspects of the music industry The main point of differentiation is the depth to which Gambino conveys his emotions While less verbose than Chance, Gambino utilizes the clever mixture of concise words and funky beats to deliver small but potent messages In “Zombies,” Gambino and Arkansas singer Kari Faux offer an interesting parallel between the titled creatures and an unknown group through chanting, “We’re coming out to get you / We’re all so glad we met you / We’re eating you for profit / There is no way to stop it ” While the target of the song is never explicitly stated, the paparazzi and overzealous fans who try to creep their way into

and muses that although it would have been nice to be born with more wealth (i e the “Washingtons” in this track referring to dollar bills) he was still able to achieve success without compromise It’s a small little punny twist, but Khalifa faithfully commits to the concept, which gives the track instant replay value Likewise, my favorite song on the original cast album was “Satisfied,” and the combined star power of Sia, Miguel and Queen Latifah embellish the themes of longing and desire beautifully Sia’s croons the opening lines, and immediately sets a different ambience, opting for vehemently circular lyrical phrases, and a balanced combination of mid-range to high range octaves She lingers on the notes, letting them trail off slowly rather than cutting them out quickly as if to further elaborate the resonating feelings that she has for her lover Queen Latifah injects a sense of belligerence as she showcases frustration at her lover for not making advances Miguel’s silky vocals likewise interplay well when he and Sia dialogue, and as a cohesive whole the trio works well to elevate the track from its historical context

For those who want more of Miranda himself, a third Cabinet Battle song also makes its way on the mixtape, with Miranda debating over the ethics of slavery over a J Cole “Tale of Two Cities” sounding beat Compared to previous installments, the track is not as bombastic and much more stripped back and eerie, which further communicates the gravitas of its subject matter Miranda likewise proves his further lyrical prowess on “Wrote My Way Out,” providing a visceral verse stating I know Abuela’s never really gonna win the lottery / So it’s up to me to draw blood with this pen, hit an artery ” Nas also makes an appearance, and he and Miranda talk about how their quick wits and adept pen game got them out of dark situations On the original cast album “My Shot” was an instant classic, and on the mixtape, while the main chorus is kept, three brand new verses from Black Thought, Joelle Ortiz and Busta Rhymes unanimously encourage individuals to not be lazy, but to rise up from the bleak situations they find themselves in

But by far, the standout track “Immigrants (We Get the Job Done)” K’naan, Snow Tha Product, Riz M C and Residente showcase the hardships and frustrations of being an immigrant in America, and the dual isolation of living in a country that blacklists them, while also being away from their families They boldly make a case at how not only are immigrants necessary for the development and survival of America, but also reiterate how America was a nation of immigrants, and poignantly spell out the injustices against the indigenous peoples as well All four artists provide blistering guest verses, with each 16 bar phrase being jammed

Glover’s personal life seem to perfectly embody the lyrics

Deviating from that tone, “Baby Boy” explores Glover’s fear his complications with his girlfriend interfering with the relationship that he has with his newborn son He glumly coos “Don’t take my baby boy/Don’t take my pride and joy,” expressing his disdain with his current situation while exposing his inability to change it himself

So yes, that was unexpected As a huge fan of Gambino, I was hoping too for another track list that contained a bunch of witty raps that make you do the equivalent of an aural double-take But as a huge fan of Gambino, I also know that his talents are not limited to making timely puns Throughout multiple mediums, he has exercised the ability to weave significant messages into his work To belittle this new album for its deviation from the norm undermines the masterpiece that he and co-producer Ludwig Göransson created Just as Taylor Swift’s decision to switch from being a country star to a pop sensation led to her creating some of her most popular works, Glover’s channeling of his soulful side led to his most artistic album yet No other genre of music can fully project the shades of gloom and layers of vulnerability that Glover exhibits Ultimately, Awaken, My Love! provides listeners with a funky view of the world through the eyes of the artist

packed with complex rhyme schemes, lyrical punches, and double-entendres Snow Tha Product spits what is possibly one of the illest lines of 2016, stating “You claim I’m stealing jobs though / Peter Piper claimed he picked them, he just underpaid Pablo / But there ain’t a paper trail when you living in the shadows ” Likewise, Residente (of Calle 13 fame) raps a verse is completely in Spanish, all the while retaining the same confidence and force as his peers It’s one of the best moments of the song, and his lyrical dexterity is best shown through the line: “Nosotros Les Sembramos el árbol y ellos se comen la fruta,” critiquing once again the hypocrisy of American hostility towards immigrants From the medium tempo to the incorporation of sound bites from this year ’ s election, the track is outstanding, and reminds a divided nation that we should not disparage immigrants who work hard and who have, in reality done so much for the nation

The Hamilton Mixtape provides more of what fans of the musical have come to expect, and this is not necessarily a bad thing Unlike the original soundtrack, the mixtape doesn’t tell a cohesive story, but it succeeds in its incorporation of contemporary artists to communicate the relevancy of its poignant themes The project’s impressive guest list and assemblage of talent harkens back to the musical’s celebration of diversity, and Miranda proves once again that the story of Alexander Hamilton doesn’t just belong in the history books; there’s a lot more to be learned from this hero and a scholar

New Dean Aims to Build Trust, Access

DEAN

ing these times,” he said “I hope to stay connected to those memories as I work with students at Cornell, so that I can be empathetic to what they are going through and make real connections that allow us to forge a new path ”

In addition to these personal and professional experiences, Pendakur’s background in educational research has also shaped his vision for his time at Cornell

“Staying abreast of the research as a scholar-practitioner gives me hope hope that in the face of complex, long-standing challenges to creating inclusive environments, that we have a myriad of pathways to improvement,” he said

Pendakur outlined three specific goals he hopes to accomplish while serving as the Dean of Students at Cornell

First, he wants to enhance Cornell’s commitments to diversity and inclusion by building strong partnerships with students, staff and faculty

“This university has a storied commitment to access, stemming right from its egalitarian founding mission, and I am inspired to continue building on this legacy,” he said

Second, he wants to be an advocate for students within the administration

“As your Dean, I hope to be a liaison between students and various parts of the administration as we work together to transform the student experience, ” he said

Finally, he said he would like to help “ create a cohesive, healthy and safe student experience at Cornell” by being a key member of Vice President for Student and Campus Life Ryan Lombardi’s leadership team

According to Pendakur, the biggest difficulty for him as dean will be the complex, turbulent climate surrounding issues of human dignity, inclusion, free speech, and educational equity He said these problems would challenge him in his new role but also offer an opportunity to lead by example

“I am concerned about how we, as a campus community, can be an example for the rest of the country in the way we model civic exchange,” he said “I hope that we Cornellians can find our way towards a model of inclusion that allows for the dignity of all of our students to be honored ”

Aside from his duties and responsibilities, Pendakur said he is also looking forward to having fun with students and getting to know them around campus, emphasizing the importance of engaging with students, respectfully listening to other points of view and compromising when forming plans and committing to sets of actions

“When mutual trust is deepened through personal connections, students can bring concerns to me directly, knowing who I am and the commitment I bring to the table,” he said “That’s how we’ll be able to affect long-lasting, positive change on this campus ”

19 67 Men’s Hockey Team to Return for 50th Anniversary

By CHARLES COTTON

The historic 1967 Cornell men ’ s hockey championship team is returning to its old stomping grounds Prominent members of the team, which earned the University its first NCAA championship in the sport, will celebrate its 50th anniversary at a reception on Saturday, Jan 28th, one part of a weekend of festivities

Legendar y goaltender and NHL Hall of Famer Ken Dryden, co-captain Murray Deathe and 1967 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player Walt “Skip” Stanowski are expected to headline the group

The hockey-filled weekend kicks off Friday afternoon when members of the 1967 team will join current head coach Mike Schafer ‘86 for a lunch in advance of the team ’ s matchup against Harvard, arguably the biggest and most highly-anticipated game of the season The following day, the decorated alumni will have breakfast and watch the current team ’ s morning skate before the reception from 5 to 6:30 p m

The reception which will be hosted by Cornell Athletics along with the Cornell Hockey Association is open to the public Tickets are available for $10, and the event will take place in room G10 of the Biotechnology Building

Following the reception, the Red takes on another Ivy-foe in

Dartmouth at 7 p m in neighboring Lynah Rink During the first intermission, the attending members of the 1967 team will be honored during a brief ceremony

The 1967 team led by longtime Cornell head coach Ned Harkness, who has since passed away finished the championship season with a 25-1-1 record, won the ECAC tournament and defeated North Dakota and Boston University en route to the national championship The NCAA title was not only the school’s first but also the first for any Ivy League institution in the sport

While Dryden is one of the best goalies to ever play for Cornell, he is also regarded as one of the NHL’s all-time greats Dryden went on to play seven seasons for the Montreal Canadiens, earn five Vezina Trophies which are awarded to the league’s top netminder and see his legacy cemented with his jersey retired by the Canadiens along with his selection to the Hall of Fame in 1983

He also earned his law degree at McGill and was elected to serve in the Canadian Parliament where he served multiple terms Dryden’s No 1 jersey number now forever hangs in the rafters of Lynah Rink as one of only two jerseys to have been retired by the Red
