Muslim Human Rights Activist

Celebrates Malcolm X’s Legacy

By JULIA CURLEY Sun Staff Writer

“Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and over whelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land,” Yahya Abdul-Basser ’20 said, reading from Malcolm X ’ s “Letter from Hajj ”

Jo i n e d b y Cy r u s Mc G o l d r i c k , a Muslim human rights activist of Iranian and Irish descent, the Cornell Muslim Educational and Cultural Association celebrated Malcolm X's life through a roundtable discussion, late Monday afternoon MECA, which has ser ved Cornell for over 20 years, aimed to offer Muslim and non-Muslim students a place to examine both Malcolm X and his legacy in contemporar y U S politics

The forum challenged common perceptions in and beyond the Muslim community of Malcolm’s contentious legacy by offering a glimpse of the activist’s lesser known years as a devoted Muslim “Malcolm realized on his pilgrimage that black and brown people across the world actually cared about what was hap-

McGoldrick said about Malcolm’s journey to Mecca “Malcolm began to identify w

k nationalism in a global sense ”

McGoldrick focused on Malcolm’s abil-

ity to balance opposing qualities like confidence and humility, inclusion and exclusion and spirituality and secularity

“It is a tremendous act of humility to be able to change one ’ s mind and to do so publicly,” McGoldrick said “Malcolm was someone who grew in public without being ashamed ”

On the issue of managing inclusion and exclusion, McGoldrick and MECA members delved into a divisive debate of “safe spaces ”

“I worr y when I see us broadcasting weakness,” McGoldrick said of the safespace mentality “ We need to be strong We don’t need to talk about how damaged we are and how fragile we are, even if it’s true, I don’t think this helps us ” Despite contention over safe spaces, the group agreed that Malcolm’s legacy has crucial implications for contemporar y politics

In p a r t i c u l a r, Mc G o l d r i c k p r a i s e d Malcolm’s ability to build “ strong local communities outside of the state system, ” his “clear language” and his steadfast devotion to a cause

According to the group, most important of all was that Malcolm “internationalized the struggle” through his Muslim pilgrimage, changing “the discussion from civil rights to human rights ”

Tuition Hike for Undergraduates

f o r It h a c a ’ s c a m p u s w i l l n e e d t o b e approved by the board in May

The trustees also approved a 3 25-percent increase in the housing rate from $8,564 to $8,842 for a double-occupancy room as well as a 2 75-percent increase in the price of a meal plan, from $5,766 to $5,924 for the next academic year The health fee will increase from $358 to $370

Pr ov o s t Mi c h a e l Ko t l i k o f f, w h o w a s quoted in the Cornell Chronicle release but did not respond to an inter view request on Monday, said in the Chronicle that the $10 million increase in undergraduate financial aid to a total of $265 million “ augments Cornell’s commitment to increasing

said Cornell would only be sharing the overall budget parameters at this time, which include building the University’s capacity to invest in key academic priorities, ensuring sufficient and predictable budgets for academic units, increasing socioeconomic diversity of the student body and lowering the total endowment payout to below 5 percent

Tuition rates for professional master ’ s degree programs var y by program but none increased more than 3 75 percent, Cornell said There will no increase in tuition for doctoral and research master ’ s degree students, Cornell said, the ninth year in a row with no increase The nine-month stipend rate for graduate students who have fellowships or teaching or research assistantships is increasing 2 5 percent to $26,426

Kotlikoff is quoted by the Chronicle as saying that most students who are receiving financial aid will not see their net tuition cost increase

The Cornell Chronicle release includes many claims about what the budget supports “enhancement of the educational experience for Cornell students through increasing experiential and engaged learni n g , e v i d e n c e - b a s e d t e a c h i n g , i n n ova t i ve uses of technology, and curricular advances such as the gateway courses initiative” without giving any evidence or figures

Susan Kelley, who is listed as the author of the Cornell Chronicle release, declined to answer questions about whether she had seen the budget planning documents, none of which have been publicly released Rebecca Vali, a Cornell spokesperson,

Chronicle as saying that the budget includes an “increased investment in faculty recruitment in Ithaca” and “ cross-campus collaboration and programing” that will “ preser ve and enhance our stature ” The release does not provide any more information about the increased investment or mention it again

Robert Harrison ’76, the chair of the board, and Joanne DeStefano, the executive vice president and chief financial officer, also either declined to comment or did not respond to requests Harrison told The Sun last year that, “ When we talk about this at the Board, the discussion among the trustees is about one thing how to maintain the affordability of Cornell to those who we admit on a need-blind basis ”

“It is likely to increase each year, ” he said last year of the tuition “ That is the norm that we are expecting unless we scale back on our ambitions, which I don’t have any i n t e r e s t i n d o i n g a n d I d o n ’ t t h i n k Cornellians have any interest in doing ”

“Our job is really to voice the opinions [of student athletes] and to make the highest quality experience f o r s t u d e n t - a t h l e t e s o n c a m p u s , ” Togashi said “Issues like this where p e o p l e d o n o t h a v e g o o d f o o d options for after practice if they want to go to a librar y or if they have a night-prelim, [are] a big deal to a lot of athletes because they need to eat ” Togashi also recalled that the lack of late night dining options compromised her classroom experience when she had a night class last year

“I was falling asleep in class, I was hungr y, and when I’m hungr y I’m distracted and not paying attention It’s tough to have a practice that goes from 4:30-7:00 and then a night class that goes from 7:3010:30 and not [eat] anything in that entire stretch,” Togashi said

“I would definitely say that stud e n t a t h l e t e s u s i n g t h e i r v o i c e helped make this happen,” Chall said “I think it’s awesome that we got this star ted so soon, ” Togashi said “ We star ted talking about options

[ Trillium] was going to be an option because it takes so many people to r un [ Trillium],” Togashi said The SAAC brought the issue to

Committee

The suppor t students expressed a l l o w

option: “ There was so much suppor t for opening Trillium that they decided to go with it,” said Emma Bankier ’19, chair of the Dining Ser vice Committee

The extended hours will remain in place for the rest of the semester

The University will have to determine if keeping Trillium open will

The pain, opinions and tr uths of women, especially women of color, are constantly taken less seriously than those of men, and I believe this to be par tially to blame for the epidemic of shootings in America as of late This is emblematic of the things we, and our legislators, need to consider in terms of gun reform The solution to this as well as practically ever y other problem begins with tr usting and suppor ting women Unfor tunately t

The Beauty and Vulnerability of Netflix’s Queer Eye

BY SHAY COLLINS Sun Staff Writer

On Feb 7, Netflix released its reboot of mid-2000s hit reality series Queer Eye For the uninitiated, Queer Eye features a crew of gay men the “fab five” who rejuvenate their subjects’ lifestyles Each fab five member has a specialty: fashion (Tan France), grooming ( Jonathan Van Ness), interior design (Bobby Berk), culture (Karamo Brown) and food and wine (Antoni Porowski) At first blush, Queer Eye sounds like an indulgent, if light, watch

But after binging its first season in just over a day, I realized that Queer Eye is an outlier The show’s emotional impact is unlike that of any other lifestyle show I’ve watched

“Really?” my friend asked, “You’re calling it one of the best shows ever?”

I understand the apprehension The original Queer Eye, which was broadcast on Bravo from 2003 to 2007, had vocal critics Some queer viewers felt that the show reinforced the stereotype that gay men are inherently fashionable and cultured In a 2003 Village Voice polemic, Richard Goldstein wrote, “it’s a measure of how far we haven’t come that the meeting [between straight and gay men] must be staged on stereotypical ground ”

But in Netflix’s reboot, fashion, grooming and the like are truly conduits for conversations about sexuality, masculinity and

vulnerability To fall in love with Queer Eye, you have to understand that the fab five’s make-overs or, as they say, “make-betters” strike much deeper than the surface

The fab five work with a diverse group of men who live in the Atlanta region throughout the season The thing that ties all of their subjects together is their conformity, in one way or another, to masculinity Rather than simply giving their subjects an expensive wardrobe and a fresh haircut, the hosts delve into the worries and desires that gender roles create Where a viewer may see a messy living room or someone in desperate need of a shave, the fab five see insecurity or loneliness

For example, in the fourth episode “To Gay or Not Too Gay” the fab five work with strikingly handsome civil engineer A J He has a chiseled jawline, thoughtful eyes and, by his own admission, an “above-average body ” ( Translation: he’s ripped ) Yet, France observes that A J wears baggy outfits that make him look years older When France takes A J shopping, A J shirks from bright colors and tight clothes

A J ’ s fashion aversions stem from more than personal taste

As the fab five learned at the start of the episode, A J is gay, and anxious about talking about his sexuality with people who are close to him During the shopping trip, A J explains that he fears telegraphing his sexuality to the world by dressing any way other than modestly Porowski empathizes He

shares that he also chooses to dress in a fashionable, but understated way In the fitting room, France, Porowski and A J converse about their diverse interests and experiences as queer men In the end, Tan recommends terrific, youthful outfits, but also respects A J ’ s desire to dress conservatively at work

In his review, Goldstein also complained that the original Queer Eye make-betters made “ everyone look like a resident of West Hollywood ” While watching the reboot, however, I noticed that the fab five consistently recommend products and habits that are affordable, accessible and in line with their subjects’ tastes

The fifth episode “Camp Rules” focuses on Bobby Camp, a father of six who works two jobs to support his family Rather than taking Bobby to a haute couture boutique, France, Porowski and Van Ness bring Bobby to Target, where Van Ness finds products that the whole family can buy in bulk and use

Bobby says that he rarely buys himself clothes, preferring to save the money for his children As such, France picks out a few outfits from the men ’ s section, showing him how fashionable he can look without expending much effort Furthermore, Queer Eye’ s message isn’t that high fashion is the ideal, and some people have to economize Rather, it’s that fashion and confidence come from knowing your worth and loving yourself

Regardless of their field expertise, all

members of the fab five find ways to connect with their subjects Bobby, for example, seeks to keep and accentuate items from the subjects’ homes that they love, be them a treasured painting, hand-me-down furniture or memorabilia that showcases their hobbies The central theme of Queer Eye is the idea of the “make-better,” and the fab five consistently stress all of the beautiful attributes that their subjects have always had

A few episodes into Queer Eye, I felt that the show was not only enjoyable (and it is wildly, giddily enjoyable), but also important Queer Eye features men being vulnerable and crying on screen In every episode, the fab five praise their subjects’ willingness to open up and discuss their emotions freely Towards the end of “To Gay or Not Too Gay,” culture expert Brown takes time to talk with A J before the party where A J will tell his step-mom that he’s gay Brown affirms him as one black, gay man speaking to another, praising his beauty and his strength Moments like these evidence the emotional power of Queer Eye It is a show that is simultaneously a meditation on sexuality, gender, race and socio-economic status in the United States, and a lovely reality show that lets you revel in the fab five’s stunning make-betters

A LONG, LONG FINNEGANS BREAK

A fe w weeks ago, former Ar ts editor Troy Sherman ‘18 and I decided to r uin our Febr uar y break Instead of going on a trip with friends, catching up on sleep and work or just spending time thinking and relaxing, we chose to spend a good por tion of the break in close quar ters, reading pages and pages of near-nonsense When others asked us what we planned to do

Here Comes Ever ybody); his wife, ALP (Anna Livia Plurabelle); their sons, Shem and Shaun, and their daughter Issy What little there is of a discernible plot revolves around the r umor of a sexual indiscretion involving HCE in a park, which seems to ultimately lead to his wife’s depar ture at the book’s end But Joyce refuses to offer e

Why? I’m not entirely sure, looking back, how the seed of this idea was first planted I’m an avid fan of the Irish writer James Joyce, and I think at some point last semester I realized that if I didn’t read Finnegans Wake his final and by far most difficult work now, while I’m in college and have friends like Troy that will do ridiculous, simultaneously self-flagellating and self-indulgent things like this with me, then I might never read it It is a notoriously difficult work to make sense of Many of the words in it were created by Joyce himself, who used

and seemed, along with us, to be generally following the “narrative” direction Saturday, Feb 17: We star ted reading at 11 a m , and finished 257 pages later at 12 a m , mid-way through Book III I don’t think I’ve ever spoken so many words in a day Moxie gre w increasingly anxious throughout the day as cabin fever took hold of all three par ticipants By the end, my voice was r usty and my mouth was dr y, I had a ver y tenuous grasp on where the stor y was and where it was going, and Troy’s eyes were bloodshot and water y We were over the hill, past the midway point and securely in the final third of the book, but there was little sense of triumph, only of exhaustion and temporar y relief

Tuesday, Feb 20: Troy left on Sunday, so we didn’t pick back up until Tuesday Reading at this point was like pulling teeth Ever ybody was back from break and we wanted to be saying real words with meanings that we understood to people whom we hadn’t spent almost 48 hours straight with just before, not reading nonsense words alone to one another We gave up early, far shor t of our set goal

ity of Finnegans Wake It was, in fact, almost exactly what I thought it would be, and had been led to believe: a maddening, boring, profoundly self-indulgent and fascinating work by a genius who decided he no longer needed to communicate with anyone or anything other than his own intellect and knowledge Instead, he left a work that one could make equally compelling arguments is about “ ever ything” and “nothing”: a work made up of glimpses, mirrors, hidden treasures, murmurs, galloping rhythms

a n d s w i r l i

d s o f puns, and he dared the world to tr y to make sense of it Troy and I hardly tried, instead resigning ourselves to a degree of incomprehension and finding solace and enter tainment in the more coherent sections

And this sense of recurring be wilderment offset by momentar y recognition was, I think, the most valuable par t of the experience We were lost in the foaming, spe wing maw of a great storm, gasping for air; and now and again we would find something, sometimes just a little piece of driftwood and other times an entire log, to hold to for a moment before the waves pulled us back into this storm with no

Those moments of respite were brief, but they were power ful; and more than anything they confirmed that we were moving, touching ne w things, not simply at t h

waves And so, in this way, I suppose I did go on a trip over Febr uar y break
