Following second fatal accident, mayor addresses pedestrian safety
By SOFIA HU Sun Senior Writer
Following the deaths of two pedestrians, Mayor Svante Myrick ’09 addressed how the Ithaca community can increase the safety of pedestrians and drivers
In a fatal acident on Saturday morning, Oluchukwu Onuora ’15, a student in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, was struck by a motor vehicle on Route 96 outside of Ithaca No charges are being pursued against the driver, according to the Tompkins County Sheriff ’ s Office
On Monday morning, Angela Stedwell, an administrative assistant for the College of Human Ecology, was hit by a Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit Bus while crossing
Jessup Road at around 7:30 a m , according to police
“We’ve been dealt a series of tragic blows,” Myrick said “The pain their families are experiencing is unimaginable, and I know that the entire Ithaca Community holds them in our thoughts ”
The quick succession of the two fatal accidents has led many to question how to improve the street safety, according to Myrick
“Safer streets require two things: better awareness and better infrastructure, ” Myrick said
In 2014, Ithaca added several features to improve pedestrian safety, including new traffic signals with “improved pedestrians features” and ‘bump outs ’ at intersections that

Professor: Cornell at ‘the forefront’ of preserving rap and hip hop records
By MOLLY KARR Sun Staff Writer
Anyone with access to the Internet will soon be able to view a collection of historical r a p a n d h i p h o p d o c
w h i c h includes 500 vinyl recordings and approximately 100,000 newspaper and magazine articles by the end of 2015, according to Katherine Reagan, curator of the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections
The Cornell Hip Hop Collection plans to digitalize the hip hop history collection that Bill Adler the founding publicity director of Def Jam Records sold to the University in 2013
related to ongoing efforts to ensure that students from these same neighborhoods and backgrounds are represented as students and scholars at Cornell,” Gosa said “Artists like Chuck D of Public Enemy, KRS One and Queen Latifah made it cool for a black kid to be smart and to study black and African history ”
In addition, Gosa said he hopes that hip hop may one day be studied as classical literature is studied now

Alongside medieval music manuscripts graduals and musical broadsides from the 18th century, Kroch Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections has an extensive archive documenting the history of hip hop culture

“We are digitizing his news clippings, magazines, label press packets and other paper based historical documents on the history of hip hop,” Reagan said “Due to the vast size of the collection, it will take a few years to complete the entire Adler archive But the first segment should be up by the end of this year ”
Students will not be the only ones that will benefit from having easy access to Adler’s collection With its digitalization, scholars from all over the world will be able to study documents and photos of artists like L L Cool J, Aaliyah and the Beastie Boys
“People have been coming to me for 20 years, at a minimum, because I put together this collection,” Adler said to the National Public Radio
“To not take care of it [a collection] of that importance, would almost be criminal,” Prof Steven Pond, music, said
“The library has a responsibility to preserve these things for the researcher,” Pond said “Beyond that, this is music that speaks to many constituencies, and the librar y should find ways to give access as broadly as possible to them ”

“Besting even the efforts of Har vard’s hip hop collection, Cornell is at the forefront of preser ving hip hop so that future generations can understand how it a culture pioneered by youth disregarded as unintelligent, poor and even criminals grew to become the most musically complex, most p

petition as did Rochester’s team Rochester won the tournament during a tie breaker, according to John McAdams ’15, vice president of the Cornell Mock Trial Association
Approximately 200 competitors argued a civil case called Park v Duran, which is about a shooting between two young children that resulted in a death, according to Robert Puzio ’17, public relations chair for the Cornell Mock Trial Association
“ T h e g ov e r n i n g b o d y, t h e A m e r i c a n Mock Trial Association, actually tried a lot of new things with the case this year, ”
McAdams said “Instead of just having one option on which charge [intentional shooting or negligent parental super vision] to pursue, they actually added a second option, so you can run two completely different cases ”
Because teams must be prepared for both of these charges, this year ’ s case is “especially interesting and challenging,” McAdams said
The Cornell team has made it to the national championship two years in a row, according to Ashani Ranwala ’17, one of the tournament co-directors
“[The BRIC] is good because it allows us to test what we know and get ready to prepare for the real thing,” Ranwala said
The Cornell Mock Trial Association which is fully student-run has provided its members opportunities to develop debating skills, according to Ranwala
“I am not really that interested in law, so for me it was just something that I enjoy,” Ranwala said “It teaches you how to present what you are thinking in an argument, but you have to be on your feet You have to know how to react ”
The team has traveled across the northeast to compete, according to Ranwala
“Just this year we went to Tufts, Yale, Brandeis, Cleveland [and] to Orlando last year for nationals,” Ranwala said “ We have a young team Our program is ver y young and I think that’s good because we are already showing a lot of potential ”

Sexual Violence Experts Urge Colleges to Refrain From Survey
Cornell: Survey will further understanding of sexual assualt
relieve institutions of the incentive to perform valid surveys conducted by those with expertise in researching campus sexual assault,” the researchers wrote in the letter
However, in a statement given Jan 22, Joel Malina, vice president of university relations, said he hopes that Cornell’s participation in the sur vey would contribute to a larger national cause
“[
The University is participating in the survey to “further the understanding of sexual violence in a national context, ” Malina said “By analyzing data from Cornell and other United States colleges and universities participating in the survey, the AAU will help higher education institutions across the country understand, prevent and respond to sexual violence ”
AAU President Hunter Rawlings III
who also served as Cornell’s 10th president from 1995 to 2003 and as interim president from 2005 to 2006 said the survey is a “significant milestone” in a November 2014 memo
According to Rawlings, the survey will allow the organization to assess campus climate across many institutions and to determine the frequency of sexual violence on college campuses
Yamini Bhandari ’17, vice president for outreach and women ’ s representative for the Student Assembly, said she believed the sur vey would help administrators better understand the sexual assault situation on campus
“I believe the survey is a good way for administration to get real data on the number of incidences of sexual assaults on this campus, ” she said “That being said, I am somewhat hesitant on whether or not students would feel entirely comfortable shar-
ing this information in the form of a survey I hope the questions are framed such that it be a safe space for students to share their experiences ”
Bhandari also said she hopes the AAU survey would spark student discussion about sexual assault on campus and guide both students and the faculty toward a solution
“The current campus attitude toward
conversations about sexual violence is open to discussion but hesitant to act, ” she said “Part of this is because there is little data, and there are few tangible solutions out there ”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Lupe Fiasco is a weird dude From making claims that aliens abducted him as a child to failed attempts at resurrecting bifocals as a fashion trend, he perpetually walks the line between social media sideshow and mercurial rap star Yet the artist seems dissatisfied with either fate, as illustrated by his recent decision to stop giving interviews and end all social media presence This drama follows a career-long battle with Atlantic Records over issues of creative control and timely release dates The soured relationship culminates with this year ’ s Tetsuo & Youth, Lupe’s fifth studio album and his last with the label By now, fans of the rapper have learned to discern which of his career decisions are label concessions and which are purely his own, a confusing distinction that explains such debacles as 2011’s maligned Lasers, the pop-rap follow-up to his gritty, critically-acclaimed The Cool For the most part, Lasers is a disturbingly bland and apolitical release from one of rap ’ s most brilliant weirdos and acute social commentators In 2012, Lupe promised his alienated fans a return to form by announcing the release of the boldly titled Food and Liquor II, an intended sequel to his 2006 debut While a definite improvement over Lasers and sonically a step in the right direction, fans and critics alike continue to await the return of the young, energetic rapper they met on Kanye West’s “Touch the Sky ”
This melodramatic timeline brings us, at long last, to the release of Tetsuo & Youth The 80-minute album’s bloated scope becomes apparent from the tracklist alone: It features no fewer than five interludes and as many as three songs that clock in at almost 10 minutes each This initially reads as aggressively anticommercial, but further examination reveals the involvement of Australian Idol alumnus Guy Sebastian who was responsible
for the Food and Liquor II abomination, “Battle Scars” and a superstar team of producers, including frequent Lupe collaborator DJ Dahi While these collaborations might make sense from a creative standpoint, in the case of Lupe’s career, it’s difficult to not be cynical about Atlantic’s role in the album’s development The Sebastian collaboration, “Blur My Hands, is the most radio-friendly piece of music Tetsuo & Youth has to offer, featuring a poppy, sing-a-long hook over a fuzzed-out bass line Would Lupe have made this song without pressure from his label? It’s uncertain, but the creative tension between a single artist’s vision and a corporation’s concern with commercial appeal remains present (though certainly to a lesser degree than on Lasers)
Whether due to label concessions or the seemingly random, fleeting nature of his thought process, Lupe has yet to craft a singular masterwork with a clear vision For all their strengths, the original Food & Liquor and The Cool both feature some terrible tracks and incoherent narratives Tetsuo & Youth does not break that streak, but it does provide a number of moments that capture and magnify Lupe’s unparalleled storytelling abilities, unclassifiable musical tendencies and slippery wordplay The guy is an acrobat with words, allowing them to effortlessly fall into one another without missing a beat Internal assonances and double entendres abound, effectively conveying the chaotic but fluid thought process of his anomalous mind with dense bars unmatched by his contemporaries When rapping from the firstperson, Lupe seems to view words as an aesthetic rather than a tool for communication, resulting in hollow but beautiful nonsense, a tendency he admits to on “Mural”: “The ribbon in the sky is the rhythm that I drop / Dribbling the eye across the prism of a clock / That lacks meaning, but racks up stacks of fat read-

Their notorious hiatus finally came to an end after nine years last Tuesday with the release of their eighth studio album No Cities To Love: a hiatus which has paralleled debatably some of the most precarious years for the genre of rock and roll in histor y To make one thing clear, rock is not dead the click-bait eulogizing of entire musical genres being one of the worse hobbies of pseudo-intellectual music bloggers but it has undeniably taken on ne w shapes in recent years However, the girls are back in town and No Cities To Love takes us back to a more political and arguably a more dynamic moment in rock and roll, in disarmingly inventive ways

COURTESY OF SUB POP
ing ” This approach grows old by the end of that nine-minute cut, but Lupe fans know he is best when storytelling from an alternate perspective, creating richly developed characters with unique insight into oft-discussed issues This is the side of Lupe that made masterpieces like “Hip-Hop Saved My Life, and thankfully he s present on several of Tetsuo & Youth s better tracks, most notably the two-part opus Prisoner 1 & 2 ” The harshest, most spot-on condemnation of the prison-industrial complex to come from a rapper this side of Killer Mike, it features Lupe rapping from the perspectives of prisoners, their families and prison guards While the album tends to suffer from bland, misused instrumentals, the dramatic violins and aggressive stomping of “Prisoner 1 & 2” match Lupe’s manic energy perfectly It is a future classic worthy of placement on a better album A few of the other tracks (“Dots & Lines” and “Madonna”) come close but ultimately fall short of the high bar it sets Tetsuo & Youth insists on subverting its own likability with its seemingly pointless interludes (not to mention the banjo solo that kicks off “Dots & Lines”) and sheer length, rendering it unwieldy and almost inaccessible Then again, that sentence could describe most of Lupe’s discography, and I’m curious to see how that changes once he’s freed from a major label contract Tetsuo & Youth is a project that rewards repeat listens, and on a few tracks the rapper reaches new heights both musically and lyrically Unfortunately, the album as a whole is about as inconsistent as Lupe’s career

past three years for sure It showed through our dual-meets during the season that this is not the same team that has been in the league for the past three years, ” he said “We are bigger, closer and faster than any team I’ve been on before I think there are going to be some heads turning at Championships ” Hallowell agreed, adding that the weeks leading up to the meet will be important for the team
“After our best season in the last four years, I think the team knows we have what it takes to be competitive at Championships The next few weeks are crucial to be resting and maintaining our strength so we can go into Ivy Championships feeling confident and ready We swam well against every Ivy team this year, and there is no reason we can ’ t extend that success into the Championship season ”
