Students to Run Camp for Cancer Patients’ Children

By DAVID TICZON Sun Contributor

The Cornell branch of the national organization Camp Kesem a summer camp r un by college students for children that have had a parent with cancer is planning to host its first summer camp this coming August Camp Kesem is a national organization founded at Stanford University in 2001 Eliza Weaver ’17, who created the Cornell

branch, said she discovered the organization through her sister’s involvement with Camp Kesem at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Weaver, who said the word “kesem” is a Hebre w word that means “magic,” said she wanted to recreate the magic she remembered during the time she spent at summer camp when she was a kid

“I know the amazing feeling camp can bring and how it can be an awesome distraction from life at home,” Weaver said “Camp is a great place to make friends, meet role models, and have fun ”

C o r n e l l ’ s c h a p t e r, which currently has 18 students, is planning to h o s t i t s f i r s t c a m p i n e a r l y Au g u s t , a c c o rd i n g to Tyler McDevitt ’17, co-director of the organization He added that 30 campers are expected to attend

According to Weaver, there are many tasks that n e e d t o b e c o m p l e t e d before the camp occurs, s u c h a s r e c r u i t i n g a n d t r a i n i n g c o u n s e l o r s a s well as finding a camp

“ [ We a l s o n e e d t o ] build relationships with people in the Ithaca community, plan camp activities [and] solicit donations,” Weaver said Many students joined the organization through t h e i r p e r s o n a l e x p e r iences with family members that have had cancer, according to director of p u b l i c r e l a t i o n s S a r a h

Riordan ’17 and McDevitt, who have both had a parent that had cancer

Speaking from his personal experience, McDevitt said young children often experience stress caused by their family encounters with cancer and that Camp Kesem is a sanctuar y of relief for these children that are often “forced to grow up fast ” “ The camp allows a kid to be a kid and not have responsibilities for a shor t period of time,” Riordan said

In order to raise money to r un the camp, Cornell’s branch of Camp Kesem has been fundraising primarily through family and friends, according to McDevitt

Riordan said fundraising effor ts have included bake sales and a fundraiser at Yogur tland last month

She added that Camp Kesem also plans to host a March Madness Bracket contest that will split the prize money between the winner and the organization

In a year, the organization has built a foll o w i n g a n d s p r e a d i n f o r m a t

Camp Kesem through word of mouth,

Medical Center and local guidance counselors have also been a major help for finding campers, he added

“It’s been a hectic first year organizing an advisor y board of community members recr uiting ne w members [and] finding a camp and planning activities,” Weaver said Cornell’s organization has just star ted to read applications from potential campers, who range from six to 16 years of age, according to McDevitt

“ We just began to see applications coming in,” McDevitt said “ When we began to read applications and the stories it was a major energy booster We got to see why we were doing this ”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

BY DANNI SHEN Sun Staff Writer

Professor Yang Hongwei, of The Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) is a protégé of renowned contemporary printmaker, Xu Bing and one of the foremost figures in the art world today His distinctive approach to printmaking is a continuous flux of investigating the conceptual, rooted in material, informed by the traditional, while reinventing the technical From reflective installations where engravings of scholar rocks float above lakes of ink, to rich woodengravings which retain their original block s organic form, to his eight-block scroll masterwork rendering an exquisitely painterly view of major international disasters, Professor Hongwei’s work expands from within the origins of woodblock prints as historically Chinese craft, to a manifold medium, through which we may contemplate our contemporary times and globalized trajectory

During his stay as Artist-in-Residence of Flora Rose House, the Sun sat down to talk to Professor Yang Hongwei, of The Central Academy Of Fine Arts about his artistic career demonstrations with Cornell art students, his current print collaboration with Prof Elisabeth H Meyer, art, contemporary artist Lucy Skaer, Sarah Carpenter from Pace Prints, Hongwei’s mentor Xu Bing, the Central Academy of Art and more

T HE S UN : First, can you talk about your background in printmaking?

YAN G HON GWEI: At around seven, I first started studying Chinese painting without a teacher When I was around 10 years old there was an old gentleman that taught me, who had extensive knowledge of traditional technique, theory and the old masters But at the time, people in general did not regard painting as a profession It was just a hobby You therefore had a variety of interests, for example: in landscapes, the natural environment, people they were all sources of inspiration, so you painted them all

At about 16, I had to start facing developments of the future, because China was entering a new era where there were many universities as well as professional schools If you were pursuing the arts, this now became a basis for going to university Now you had to prepare for the entrance exams by learning how to sketch, learning Western methods And of course while you were doing that, you would make comparisons with traditional Chinese methods, which was a very natural transition At that time, I chose printmaking, because it involves a multitude of techniques Of course there is a lot of technique in other mediums, but most don’t compare to the strength of skills needed in printmaking I realized that printmaking was different from the kind of art-making I had encountered before, so in the midst of that decision, there was a kind of chance, or fate

S UN : Coming from an academy and an institution like the Beijing Central Academy of Art, what is your perspective and experience on working with students? How is the mentor-student dynamic between you and Xu Bing?

Y H : So, at CAFA I have 10 of my own students Of course Chinese art education and Western art education are two completely different systems For example, the Chinese system has only developed for so many decades and many of the teaching methods were imported from Europe After 1949, art education also received great influence from the Soviet Union Many students would go there to learn about social realism, or about propaganda art Afterwards, art education approaches came from France, where we had to learn about classical art-making It was only after the opening up of China that correspondence with the United States became more established

The system which entered China was Western art, modern and contemporary Since both had already originated and generated outside of China, this system did not enter in the timeframe within which it had developed in the West Therefore, this influence was not only very sudden but also very unclear Artists in China didn’t know what actually happened in the West, let alone why things happened or existed as they did The art education system was also impacted by these broader social transformations

which you live, so naturally the social and cultural essentially shaped my formation of values

These values changed after China’s reform and opening up began For example, the demand for the material conditions of life, both physical and spiritual, is always increasing Sometimes society doesn t satisfy you because your environment is limited, so you begin to consider these issues I then decided to go to the United States

When I first arrived here, many now famous artists from China as well as Japan were beginning their activities in the U S , i e Xu Bing, Cai Guo Qiang, Gu Wenda, etc Seeing their work thus had a profound impact on my impressions of Western cul-

So when we teach, we want to guide students to a healthy place where they can think about and create their work, both conceptually and practically As a professor you also have to realize that your students went through a different time period than you did, and so the social and even global questions they’re facing are often completely different

As for my relationship with Xu Bing, I’m both a professor and a student, and that’s interesting because you ’ re constantly switching roles and perspectives I’ve known Xu Bing for more than six years now, but I’ve only been his student for four years These four years have really impacted me at the fundamental level For example, when I first began to know him, I went to his house for a meal and he asked me what I had been making I said, “Sometimes I make oil paintings, sometimes I make prints ” We didn’t talk about any concepts, only materials that I was using But he then told me, “I don’t think you should oil paint, I think you should continue with print-making ” When I asked him why, he said “In actuality, oil painting is not inherent for us It’s specifically Western What we do have, is Eastern, which is entirely different If you continue to paint, in 20 years, you’ll discover you are still circling within that same place If you continue with printmaking, 20 or 30 years later, you won ’ t know where you are ” These words left a particularly strong impression on me and I thought about them for a long time in order to interpret them for myself For example, when Xu Bing said not to continue with oil painting, he didn’t mean oil painting was bad, because there is no good or bad Rather, he wanted me to consider the historical context and trajectory of printmaking, which is strongly rooted in Chinese origins Oil painting on the other hand, because it originated elsewhere, is further from our bloodline; it’s harder to achieve dao

But in all these years, I’ve also lived through five eras As you are continuously gaining an understanding of the techniques, language and sensibility of print-making, as well as extensively researching its historical origins, you realize that printmaking moves from a very narrow category in the history of art, to a great expansive space Once you get to the core, your engagement with printmaking changes entirely

After beginning a Ph D with Professor Xu Bing at the Central Academy, I started really considering what a print was from an artistic point of view, rather than forever quietly drifting within the prescribed parameters of the medium It’s been during this time that my way of thinking about the conception and the production, as well as methodical intersections of contemporary art and tradition of printmaking, really deepened

My experience in terms of creating is thus always moving forward, always undergoing change

While working with Xu Bing now, for example while installing his Phoenixes at the Cathedral of St John the Divine, I observe how he works to control a space, the relation between material and space, how to maximize an installation’s presentation; All those subtleties are part of the learning experience with him It’s not necessarily that Xu Bing is telling you what to do, but rather you are learning more about how an artist thinks and problem-solves

S UN : How does your social, cultural, political identity and context affect your work?

Y H : I was born in 1968 in Tianjin, China and caught the tail of the Cultural Revolution Since I was small at the time so it didn’t leave a large impression on me, but there are a few memories Changes were subtle but you could feel them Although close, I was also not living at the political and cultural center, which was in Beijing Political influences weren ’ t particular for me However, you can ’ t possibly escape the environment in

ture, and set a basis for what kind of work I wanted to make Of course, this power also largely comes from the relationship between one ’ s thinking and one ’ s environment As China now has such immense energy, a number of negative effects have arisen from the release of that energy, i e human restlessness, expansion of money and material needs and desires Yet at the same time, you can ’ t control this kind of madness or absurdity that results; you ’ re swept along in the arena Artists such as myself also instinctively began to think about the broader situation, and it was easy to feel disoriented It was also during this time that I began to create my large-scale works, which often took long periods to complete It was in creating these pieces however, that I was able to enter a meditative state, which gave me a genuine sense of joy and calm

SUN : In terms of this being a three way collaborative project with artists Elisabeth Meyer and Lucy Skaer, how has everything come together for you during your time at Cornell?

Y H : I’m particularly interested in the Western art education system, especially in comparison to Chinese art education In coming to Cornell University, I’ve had the opportunity to have direct communication with the students, which will be greatly informative to my future teaching at CAFA Furthermore, I’ve really learned a lot more about Western artist and teacher attitudes In terms of artistic collaboration, I believe they have a deeper, more direct understanding of international collaboration and possibilities, which I think is very important I also wanted them to learn about Chinese education in exchange, as well as our tradition of printmaking, which is different from what they had imagined That was something that I felt very deeply about Everyone has been very interested in my work, and perhaps it’s because they’ve never seen prints made in the Eastern tradition But in China, there are many artists working this way; they only need to be recognized and understood by the West and this is something Xu Bing does very well as his works have transcended printmaking onto a another level However, many artists in China are still informed by traditional methods, and that’s something I want more people to understand

As far as this three-way collaboration, everything has been going well I came to Cornell to begin my part in the production for the final exhibition using Western print methods The rest will be created in a studio in China since Elisabeth and Lucy want to engage in the traditional Chinese methods of printmaking And with printmaking, even if you come from different cultural backgrounds, you always share common vocabulary when it comes to a good print Overall, it s been very pleasant The conditions are great and I think artists here are incredibly focused in terms of their work ethic Even though the weather’s cold, everyone has made me feel very warm!

For New Ideas, Hollywood Should Crack Open a Physics Textbook

Hollywood is becoming increasingly disconnected from the American public Box Office flops win Oscars, while pseudo-intellectuals scoff at remakes of remakes of superhero movies I am not writing to explain what led to the development of this situation, nor am I tr ying to expose anyone (ahem, George Clooney) who I may feel to be responsible for this substantial divide In the spirit of both my young person ’ s naiveté and my Ivy League snobber y, I am tr ying to fix this complex problem by providing an easy solution

I’m sure most of you are familiar with Interstellar, the sci-fi thriller that was released a few months ago Perhaps you saw Matthew McConaughey in the lead role and thought you would just see Horrible Bosses 2 instead While understandable, that decision was a mistake Interstellar was not only an excellent film, but an important one It was original but not esoteric, complex b

movie Hollywood should continue making if it wants to improve its

happens to be one of the most science-centric films in recent memor y, incorporating such heavy-hitting topics as wormholes and the theor y of relativity It is my view that Interstellar is significant because of its scientific content rather than in spite of it Prominent filmmakers would ser ve themselves and Hollywood as a whole if they made science flicks the next big cinematic phenomenon

however, has little to do with the merits of science itself and ever ything to do with the fundamental relationship between science and art To clarify what I mean by this, I must first make a few points on the nature of stor ytelling As Faulkner said in his Nobel Prize

human heart in conflict with itself alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about ” All good fiction is built squarely on a foundation of human emotion

The plot of a stor y is only valuable insofar as it enables dynamics between characters and thereby brings this emotion to the forefront

Therein lies the reason why art is fundamentally dependent on science For ever y new thing that emerges in the world, there emerges a new potential plot point able to be used in fiction This new plot point, while it certainly does not create new human emotions, enables

emotions to be combined in new ways

Casablanca, starring Humphrey Bogar t, is widely considered to be one of the greatest

As a science major, I am admittedly not an objective voice on this topic My argument,

romantic interest to get on a plane with her husband and leave him forever, giving us the famous quote, “If that plane leaves the ground a

with him, you’ll

” T

e airplane scene is

of the emotional effect it has on

because it combines the feelings of sadness associated with good-

plane travel The plane is leaving quickly, so Bogart’s character is actually forced to encourage the love of his life to leave him If she’s leaving in a covered wagon, the scene feels different The invention of the airplane did not bring into being the human sentiments of sadness or urgency, but it allowed for these sentiments to interact with each other in a novel and exciting way Without the Wright brothers, there would be no airplane scene

While Casablanca makes use of transportation technology, Interstellar is built on modern theoretical physics, especially Einstein’s theor y of relativity The popular layman’s explanation of relativity is that the faster you go, the slower time goes In accordance with this concept, a person could conceivably age a few years on a fast-moving spaceship, then come back and find that hundreds of years have passed on earth When McConaughey’s character leaves the solar system to find a colonizable planet, relativity repeatedly comes into play At one point, McConaughey and an away team land on the surface of an alien

planet that is travelling faster than their spaceship Relativity takes its toll, and the away team eventually returns to their spaceship to find their colleague has aged thirty years Again, this situation leads to extraordinar y dynamics between the characters Without the development of the theor y of relativity, this situation could never have been conceived of If Hollywood wants to keep up with the times, it needs to modernize its stor y ideas

We are living in a scientific age, so a big part of focusing on modern times is focusing on science As a college student currently typing on his laptop at 2:00 a m , I have no idea how they should go about it (although I have a funny feeling it may involve Neil Degrasse Tyson) All I know is, I hope Interstellar 2 comes before Fast and Furious 8

Why Run (and Vote) for The Next Undergraduate Student Trustee?

Over the next month you will have the chance to make a lasting impact on our school by running or voting in the next Undergraduate Student Trustee elections Cornell, unlike any of its Ivy League peers and the vast majority of private research universities, provides its students with the opportunity to serve as full-voting members of the Board of Trustees And now is a particularly exciting and important time to be a member of Cornell’s governing body: The next Student Trustee will join the Board at a critical juncture for higher education in America and for our University Cornell’s tradition of student involvement on the Board extends back over 40 years Today, one undergraduate student and one graduate student serve two-year terms alongside 62 other members of the Board, including eight alumni-elected trustees, two facultyelected trustees, one employee-elected trustee and the eldest lineal descent of Ezra Cornell Collectively, the trustees are vested with “ supreme control” over the University, including its colleges Trustees provide fiduciary oversight and guidance to ensure that Cornell is positioned as one of the preeminent institutions of higher education in the world The Board makes decisions that affect every aspect of university life, including hiring our President, establishing tuition and financial aid levels, ratifying our $3 5 billion budget, determining what buildings are constructed on campus and approving major strategic initiatives such as faculty renewal in Ithaca, Cornell Tech in NYC and the Belfer Research Building at Weill Cornell Medical College Trustees help lead our entire institution, support our educational and research programs and work to realize our aspiration to be the land-grant institution to the world Trustees chart the course for the long term Student Trustees have a seat at the table on the same basis as every other trustee, and their input is both valued and solicited Each of the writers of this column has served as a Student Trustee, with Bob now serving as Board Chair Students who serve in this position can have a profound impact on University policy Currently, Student Trustees serve on a range of committees, including Student Life, Academic Affairs, University Relations and the Trustee Community Communications Committee Most recently, we served together on the Presidential Search Committee, which selected Elizabeth Garrett as the 13th President of Cornell Student Trustees also help set the agenda for the Committee on Student Life, and they make sure that other trustees are aware of pressing campus issues In recent years, Student Trustees have addressed topics that include off-campus housing and safety, student health and wellbeing, diversity, inclusion and the academic experience

The next Student Trustee will help guide the University as it enters its next chapter and will aid in the transitions of PresidentElect Elizabeth Garrett, the next Provost and the next Vice President for Student and Campus Life The next Student Trustee will work alongside the other trustees to enhance Cornell’s academic stature, address our University’s budget model, engage in dialogue regarding the future of online education and participate in discussions about Cornell’s presence in New York City

The next Student Trustee will join a group of devoted individuals who are committed to one goal: improving Cornell, now and for the future

In the upcoming months, you will have the opportunity to participate by either running or casting your ballot for the next Student Trustee For those students interested in running, we will host two information sessions on Friday, March 13 from 12 to 1 p m and on Monday, March 16 from 5 to 6 p m , both in B12 Day Hall Further, you are invited to observe the next open sessions of the full Board and its committees on March 25 and 26

On April 16, the Daily Sun will host a debate from 7 to 8:30 p m in Willard Straight Hall’s Memorial Room to further inform you about the candidates, so that you may select the candidate who most accurately captures your ideas and aspirations for our University Voting will open online on Wednesday, April 29 from 8:00 a m and continue through Thursday, April 30 at 10 a m all students, including undergraduate, graduate and professional students may vote

We hope you will join us in participating in this year ’ s elections, so that together we can continue to ensure that Cornell remains a world-class institution that promotes discovery, disseminates knowledge and improves the lives of individuals and communities throughout the world With your help, we can build upon the success of our first 150 years and make an even greater impact during our next 150 years

Where We Stand on Selma’s Bridges

Ohailed as one of the finest speeches of his presidency; against the

Edmund Pettus Bridge, he articulated a vision of America that ser ved both to lionize the heroes who marched in Selma half a centur y beforehand, and to fire back at the less-than-dignified leaders of his opposition with Rudy Giuliani being only their most recent standard-bearer who have tried, year in and year out, to cast aspersions on his patriotism

The President, known for too much of his term for his dispassion and his passivity, seemed

autumn of his time in office, standing at the site of the Civil Rights Movement’s most iconic day Once you have finished your House of Cards binge, I implore you to take a few minutes to watch the President’s address Or, at least, read it As I watched, what stood out to me most was that the President’s vision of America which he used as a re

on-one goal opportunity However, sophomore goaltender Paula Voorheis stopped their attempt and pushed the puck wide of the net But with 4:40 left in the period, Clarkson’s top line finally broke through Cornell’s defense and secured a 1-0 lead

“I thought the first two periods we didn’t execute as well as we could have We weren ’ t quick enough with moving the puck forward and getting it into the Clarkson end,” Veerman said

However, Cornell regained momentum and created a few goal opportunities in the last two minutes of the period Even though the team did not score at that moment, Fulton said she believes that its momentum continued to build throughout the second period when both teams had penalties and various scoring opportunities and into the third

“I think the momentum we built through the first two periods helped us going into the third,” she said “We continued to do the same things, but just a little more tenacious In the third, the execution factor came in huge and we were able to get a few goals ”

able to build some momentum from some huge kills we had,” Fulton said, echoing Veerman “On the other side, power plays did the same thing We got a few shots and were able to build some momentum, getting our first goal on the power play and two more came quickly after ”

Only 23 seconds after Saulnier’s goal, sophomore forward Hanna Bunton got the eventual game winning goal when she wristed the puck over Clarkson’s goalie Jenner scored another goal for Cornell to win the game, 3-1, bringing the team into the ECAC Championship game against Harvard

In its matchup against the Crimson, Cornell gained an early 1-0 lead six minutes into the game when Saulnier, assisted by Fulton and junior forward Anna Zorn, snapped a wrister past Harvard’s netminder Cornell continued to have goal opportunities throughout the period However, Harvard capitalized on a Cornell power play, tying up the game

“We played them really evenly throughout the first two periods. Both teams had their chances ”

The second period was intense and equal between the two teams There were some big scoring opportunities throughout the period Jenner and Saulnier had a twoon-one chance, but the puck hit the cross bar

Head coach Doug Derraugh said he felt the first two periods were really close and could have gone either way

In the last seven minutes of the period, the Red equalized the game during its fifth power play opportunity Senior captain and forward Brianne Jenner worked the puck into the zone to Fulton, who then whipped the puck into the crease Senior forward Jillian Saulnier went into the crease and tapped the puck into the net, tying the score at 1-1

Veerman said she believes the penalties were a huge factor in the rhythm of the game and the team ’ s momentum

“Penalties played a big role with changing the momentum for both teams, ” she said “It was a big factor for our first goal, which was on the power play and that goal gave us the spark we needed to come back and win ”

Fulton explained that the team gained momentum from its power plays and shots on goal, despite the penalities

“While it’s never good to be penalized, we were

“We played them really evenly throughout the first two periods,” he said “Both teams had their chances ”

In the third period, Cornell stole a 2-1 lead early on, but Harvard heated up and pressured Cornell The team scored five goals back-to-back and ran away with the game Late into the third, Bunton scored her second of the weekend on a Harvard power play This goal gave the team life Despite having a few more scoring opportunities, Harvard rejected Cornell’s advances and topped off the game with an empty netter to win, 7-3

Derraugh said he thought the small errors added up to make the difference in the game

“We got that early goal, but gave up a couple [of ] tough ones, ” he said “You [have] to give credit to Harvard for capitalizing on the chances we gave them ”

Dean earns Coach’s Award for Most Outstanding Wrestler, helps team to ninth straight title

By HANNAH NOYES Sun Staff Writer

The Cornell wrestling team ’ s win at the EIWA Championships this weekend earned the team yet another major victory on the season and a ninth consecutive title under the coaching of Koll

Sophomore Gabe Dean was awarded the Coach’s Award for Most Outstanding Wrestler Koll said he honored his player with this title because he had “total domination of the tournament ’ s toughest weight class ” On top of an incredible season athletically, Dean has been a leader for his teammates as a sophomore captain

Alongside Dean, Koll also recognized senior Jacob Aiken-Phillips in the 285-weight class He placed third this weekend, after only being seeded as No 7 According to Koll, Aiken-Phillips had the most impressive performance of the weekend This all-star performance is not uncharacteristic of Aiken-Phillips He was a unanimous All-Ivy League pick last season, and prior to that, has had an integral role in the EIWA tournaments as well as the Binghamton Open and Body Bar Invitational

With the ninth straight EIWA title, the Red will now send eight out of its 10 top wrestlers on the team to the NCAA Championships in two weeks Although walking into a tournament facing such a strong bracket of teams is undoubtedly intimidating, Koll said he was very impressed with how his men handled the stress

“I’m not sure the team could have performed much better Every man wrestled well,” Koll said

Having another championship to his name feels very satisfying, according to Koll

“Lehigh wrestled well and is a very good team As a matter of fact, they recently defeated Ohio State who just won the Big Ten,” he said “The EIWA tournament is pretty brutal and we were able to win it handily ”

The men finished the weekend with a total of five champions and 176 points, beating the second runner up team and host Lehigh by 30 points

Heavy-weight hype | Senior Jacob Aiken-Phillips took home third place this weekend after coming into the weekend in the No 7 seed Head coach Robert Koll noted that he was the most impressive showing of the championships

The wrestling post-season will come to a close in just two short weeks While the squad has seen much success this season, the team had to change the starting lineup more than once, battle injuries and keep a winning mentality throughout the past few months

“We had to rely on many non-starters to make this season a success, ” Koll said “Up until recently, we didn’t have our complete starting line-up on the mat at once Brian Realbuto wasn ’ t even in the picture until the last month of our season and he placed seventh at the EIWA tournament ”

Koll said he will take lessons he learned from this season

and incorporate them into the Championships, and later into next year

“The lesson is that opportunities will occur, and if you are prepared, the rewards of that opportunity might just fall upon you, ” he said

The team will travel to St Louis on March 19 for the NCAA Tournament

“I am very proud of every member of the team, ” said Koll
