During a faculty forum held Wednesday afternoon, faculty members shared their perspectives on the pros and cons of revenue enhancement to improve the University’s financial future and encouraged new academic initiatives to provide budgetary relief

According to Dean of Faculty Joseph Burns Ph D ’66, astronomy, the goal of the forum entitled “Revenue Enhancement: At What Cost? To What Benefit?” was to engage more faculty in some of the ongoing discussions on revenue enhancement

Because all of Cornell’s colleges have already increased or plan to increase both the number of professional Master’s degree programs and the number of students within them, the forum primarily addressed how creating new Master’s degrees can act as a source of further revenue for the University

The first speaker, Prof Ronald Ehrenberg, industrial and labor relations, said he has been fortunate enough to live in the golden age of the private research university

“Being a faculty at Cornell has been and continues to be a great gift,” he said “Public research universities make our problems look insignificant ” Ehrenberg said in recent years, the University has been able to increase

Princeton Prof Gives Lecture on P h y s i c s i n N a t u r e

By DAVID TICZON Sun Staff Wr ter

Prof William Bialek, physics, Princeton University, spoke Wednesday evening about how biological creatures have developed to operate near the limits that the laws of physics allow as part of the the Hans Bethe Lecture Series

The evening began with Bialek honoring Hans Bethe, a long-time Cornell professor According to Bialek, Bethe greatly influenced the scientific community

“Somebody once said about Hans Bethe that he has done so many different things that one would not be surprised to learn if there were many people whose name was Hans Bethe,” Bialek said

Bialek also said “sophisticated algorithms” in fields like computer science rely on Bethe’s work

After speaking about Bethe’s research about stars, Bialek said he hoped that the evening’s lecture would captivate the audience

“I hope you will find some of the phenomenon that I talk about this evening as romantic as Bethe found the stars, ” he said

Throughout the evening, Bialek gave examples of “biological system[s] pushing right at the edge of what the laws of physics allow ”

Bialek cited bats’ use of echolocation as an example of the phenomenon

“Bats find their lunch, like a moth, t h r o u g h e c h o l o c a t i o n , ” Bi a l e k s a i d

performance tracks the limit perfectly,” Bialek said “Not only is he capable of measuring a delay to the precision of ten billionths of a second, it is also true it is down at the limit of what is allowed given the noise limit of the room around it ”

the lab, furrows must be made on the embr yo at around the 30 percent mark consistently, and can only being off by at most “plus or minus one ” He said the level of accuracy required is hard to visualize, so he offered a Cornellrelated human comparison

“If

“ They emit high frequency pulses of sound and listen for the echo and by measuring the time delay of the echo know the distance to the target ”

According to Bialek, this ability for bats, which was developed to use echolocation is incredibly precise

“ When you do the experiment with the bats, the bat’s

In addition to studying bats, Bialek also said he studies the ability of particles to detect the presence of light even in the darkest of situations to the degree of “single molecules or photons ” He said that although he has been researching this for a long time, he still finds it “astonishing” that a cell with a billion molecules can tell when light is present

“It is as if you were surrounded by a billion molecules of some perfume and somebody added one molecule that was a little different and you could smell it,” Bialek said

Like the precision of bats and molecules, Bialek’s work on fly embr yos also must be exact He explained that in

“Let us imagine that the size of the nucleus is the size of the Cornell campus Then the target you are tr ying to hit is half a meter, ” Bialek said “It means that the way the cell can respond to the chemical signals carried by these molecules is equivalent to tr ying to figure out how many students there are on campus by standing still and counting how many people walk past you ”

According to Bialek, there are many examples of natural organisms pushing the limits of physics

“If you think about the set of things allowed by the laws of physics and chemistr y it is huge,” Bialek said “I think things that occur right at the edge of those are ver y special ”

Kimberly Theidon says tenure was denied due to her advocacy for sexual assault victims

By THE HARVARD CRIMSON

Kimberly Theidon, a former Har vard associate anthropology professor, filed a lawsuit against the University Thursday in federal court, reiterating allegations that Har vard denied her tenure in May 2013 for advocating for victims of sexual assault

T h e c o m p l a i n t w h i c h names Harvard and the Harvard

C o r p o r a

s reiterates several allegations that

Theidon previously made in a complaint she filed roughly a year a

Ma

Commission Against Discrimin

Ha

va rd’s decision to deny her tenure violated the federal anti-sex discrimination law Title IX She later withdrew that complaint and indicated her plans to sue the University Pr

charge, Theidon had appealed Harvard’s decision to deny her tenure

Theidon’s Thursday complaint alleges that Harvard “retaliat[ed] against her by denying her tenure immediately after and because she supported” a student campaign to reexamine the school’s response to complaints of sexual assault

Additionally, Theidon alleges in the complaint that she was d

opposed what she viewed as a “sexually hostile environment” for women who complained about

sexual assault and harassment at Ha

University denied Theidon tenure because of her gender

The complaint says this “retaliation” violated Title IX and antiemployment discrimination law

Title VII

In the complaint, Theidon specifies a number of concerns regarding how her gender allegedly affected her ultimate tenure decision She claims that she was

held to a higher standard than male peers and received “less pay and work space than those accorded to males who had less experience or productivity ” Theidon also alleges that Judith D Singer, senior vice provost for faculty development and diversity, was aware of “ one or more of Theidon’s gender based concerns ”

In p

hlighted Theidon’s response to a Ma rc h 2 0 1 3 Cr i m

c l e about sexual assault at Harvard, according to the complaint In her comments on the story, Theidon offered a defense of the anonymous sexual assault victims quoted in the story

Neither Theidon nor Harvard spokesperson Tania deLuzuriaga could be reached for comment late Thursday night

Har vard employed Theidon until June 2014, when her contract expired and her formal rela-

ended When still at Harvard, she held the title of John L Loeb associate professor of the social sciences, an endowed position

Theidon’s complaint says that, prior to being denied tenure, she had received indication that she was in a good position to receive promotion

Theidon joined Harvard’s faculty in 2004 and became an associate professor in 2008

At Forum, Faculty Seek Ideas

tuition 3 to 3 5 percent every year, more than the rate of inflation

“Political and economic forces limit our ability to raise tuition as rapidly in the future,” he said “We can ’ t go funding research increasingly out of undergraduate tuition ”

Ehrenberg said there are alternative ways to ease the budget constraints by offering more online courses and increasing the use of part time and full time non-tenure track faculty

Paul Streeter MBA ’95, vice president for budget and planning, said that in terms of endowment value, types of degrees and faculty profile, Cornell cannot compete with Princeton, Yale or Harvard the three universities with the largest endowments

“Compared to most institutions we are ranked twenty, but compared to the folks we compete with [we are not the strongest],” he said

Burns said that over the last seven years, the overall student enrollment at the University has increased by 10 percent, butthe undergraduate population has not changed

“The professional master ’ s and MBA programs have grown by 30 percent in the last seven years, ” he said

Noting Stanford University’s new interdisciplinary majors that allow students to pursue an interdisciplinary study of English and computer science or music and computer science, Prof Charles Van Loan, computer science, said it is important to have a flexible and open-minded respect for new programs

Creating new undergraduate programs that com-

bine majors “is a way to pay attention to the larger university scene an acknowledgement [that within] liberal education there are technical overtones, ” he said He added that this can “ set the stage ” for interesting Master’s work

Prof Kathryn Caggiano Ph D ’98, chair of the college of engineering’s master ’ s committee, operations research and information engineering, said not only do faculty need to consider the revenue benefits

to the University, but they also need to think about the intellectual benefits for themselves and their departments

“The landscape in changing under us and there is a strong interest in changing with it,” she said “If you are thinking about master ’ s programs, first and foremost you need to ask what is in it for the stakeholders, the students ”

Closing the forum, Prof Francesca Molinari, economics, said master ’ s programs and mid-career courses can help bring in revenue to the University

“ There has been enormous chance for me to begin to interact with Beth Garrett, and she has been so energetic and effect i v e a t c o m m u n i c a t i n g w i t h m e , ” S k

Arizona Gunman Who Killed One In Suburban Phoenix Arrested

MESA, Ariz (AP) A gunman killed one person and wounded five others Wednesday in a rampage that included a motel shooting, a carjacking and a home invasion and ended with his arrest at a nearby apartment in suburban Phoenix

The suspect was taken into custody after officers spotted him on an apartment balcony and deployed a stun gun Numerous officers later led a handcuffed man to a truck parked outside an apartment complex Police did not immediately release his identity

The incident started with an argument inside a room at a motel and spilled outside, leaving one man dead and two women wounded, Mesa Detective Esteban Flores said

The suspect then shot a man working at a nearby restaurant

That victim, an adult student at nearby East Valley Institute of Technology, was able to r un across the street to emergency responders already at the motel, Flores said The school said in a statement that he was one of

seven students and an instructor working at Bistro 13 restaurant

The student has been treated and released from a hospital

The suspect got away by carjacking the instructor’s car

The suspect then allegedly went to an apartment complex about 2 miles away, where he gained entry into an apartment and shot a man That victim will survive, police said According to Flores, a police officer spotted a man in a neighboring apartment building with multiple gunshot wounds He is currently listed in critical condition

The shootings prompted an intense hunt for the suspect as Mesa police searched the trunks of cars, interviewed witnesses and brought in SWAT and canine units from other agencies Flores warned people in the neighborhood to remain indoors

Several locations in the area were placed on lockdown amid a heavy law enforcement presence

The Arizona Depar tment of Public Safety sent its SWAT team to Mesa to assist with the effort, DPS spokesman Bart Graves said

U.S. Presbyterian Church Will Recognize Same-Sex Couples

NEW YORK (AP) The Presbyterian Church has expanded its definition of marriage to include a “commitment between two people” recognizing gay marriage as Christian in the church constitution after decades of debate over same-sex relationships

The redefinition was endorsed last year by the church General Assembly, or top legislative body, but required approval from a majority of the Louisville, Kentucky-based denomination’s 171 regional districts, or presbyteries The critical 86th “ yes ” vote came Tuesday night from the Presbytery of the Palisades in New Jersey

“So many families headed by LGBTQ couples have been waiting for decades to enter this space created for their families within their church communities,” said the Rev Robin White, a leader of

More Light Presbyterians, which advocates for gay acceptance

After all regional bodies finish voting and top Presbyterian leaders officially accept the results, the change will take effect June 21

The denomination has nearly 1 8 million members and about 10,000 congregations and is now the largest Protestant group to authorize gay weddings churchwide

Last year, Presbyterians allowed ministers to preside at gay weddings if local church leaders approved in the states where samesex unions were legally recognized

The new wording for the church Book of Order extends that authorization to every congregation and reads, “Marriage involves a unique commitment between two people, traditionally a man and a woman, to love and support each other for the rest of their lives ”

Penn State Fraternity Suspended for Posting

Pictures of Unconscious Nude Women on Facebook

STATE COLLEGE, Pa (AP) A now-suspended Pennsylvania State University fraternity’s Facebook posting of photos of nude and partly nude women, some of them asleep or passed out, is sad and offensive and could lead to some students being expelled, the university’s president said Wednesday “I can ’ t imagine anybody that’s not appalled by the alleged behavior,” Eric Barron said in an interview

The national leaders of Kappa Delta Rho on Tuesday suspended the Penn State chapter for a year over the photo scandal and said it would be reorganized

Police in State College, home to Penn State’s main campus, are investigating allegations the fraternity operated a private Facebook page on which members shared frat house pictures of the women According to a warrant, the invitation-only page had 144 active members, including students and alumni

Barron said of the webpage: “It’s very sad, and it’s very offensive ”

Police said some of the photos they had seen showed women in “sexual or embarrassing positions ” While some of the women photographed appeared to be aware their pictures were being taken, others did not, police said in court documents

Police have said they have identified at least two photographs that could lead to criminal charges but the investigation is continuing

A young man who answered the door on Tuesday at Kappa Delta Rho said the fraternity had no com-

ment No-trespassing signs were posted there on Wednesday

Barron said the university is working with police to determine the number of offenders and victims and will hold those responsible accountable for what they did

“This is the kind of behavior that can get someone expelled,” he said

Penn State’s flagship campus in State College has about 40,000 undergraduate students About 4,000 of them belong to one of the 50 fraternity chapters, including Kappa Delta Rho, governed by the Interfraternity Council

Barron, speaking to reporters at the state Capitol in Harrisburg, was asked about whether the fraternity system as a whole needs to be reviewed He said the focus should be on dealing with people who act inappropriately, not targeting the system

“I think if you punish those that are responsible, we all learn, and if you punish everybody, then I don’t think we really all learn,” he said

Police were tipped off about the Facebook account on Jan 18 by a former fraternity member who shared printouts of some of the pictures The printouts were included in some of the court documents provided Tuesday to news outlets; police later said that was a mistake

Police said anyone who posted the photos could face misdemeanor charges of harassment or invasion of privacy, with a fine being the most likely penalty They also said they expected some women would only want to have the photos removed and not press charges

ornell is about excess Excess work, excess snow, excess drama, excess pizza ( Just kidding, there’s no such thing) Living in this quaint little hamlet (I’m well aware it’s a city, hush) has given us suburban mentalities; we are in ever yone ’ s business, tr ying to be involved in ever ything and broadcasting our lives and lunch to the other 17,999 people on campus Like an NBC comedy, we become caricatures of ourselves, creating intense situations that concern our parents when we tell them about the latest beef in our lives, and speaking in weird British accents sometimes Having traveled the Ivy League (and slept on numerous undergraduate dorm floors), I have honed in on the quintessential Cornell trait No it’s not #gainz (which g o t re a l l y a n n oy i n g a f t e r t h e f i r s t Snapstor y), nor is it our obsession with kale or our “sporty-style " It’s that we have a chip on our shoulder we over-do e ve r y t h i n g We a re ove r a c h i e ve r s , a n d while yes, all college students are, we take it up 161 levels We don’t have much school spirit, but we bleed Big Red (I own over 41 official Cornell-licensed products and countless red accessories) We adore the Office’s Andy Dwyer for bringing C o r n e l l i n t o t h e v e r n a c u l a r, b u t a re unaware of many real alumni other than Bill Nye ’77 (except the AMST 2001 class, they’re MVPs) We tr y to be the jack of all trades, are mini-experts on ever ything, join ever y organization to fill our resumes and end up graduating with exhaustion from tr ying to be ever ywhere Brown students are much more chill and seem to enjoy life Har vard, Yale and Princeton have that preppy quality about them Columbia and Penn kids seem pretty balanced with work a n d l i v i n g i n b i g c i t i e s , a n d p o o r Dartmouth is out in the wilderness We are stuck in the middle, a weird race of hair ychested men from Ithaca, who crawl down from the frozen Hill and amaze society with our knowledge of wines, but then t u r n t h e m o f f w i t h o u r e a g e r n e s s t o impress Don’t get me wrong, I love our identity as “the underdogs,” the “heathens on the Hill,” the crunchy collective, but overachieving can be dangerously competitive and overall draining Overthinking is another tricky trait that a lot of us have Ever y single little cue, little c l u e , g e s t u re , t i m e - s p a n , p u n c t u a t i o n mark(!) has layers upon layers of meaning that really just end up giving us a big headache We overthink when it comes to choosing a dining hall for dinner (Becker all the way) We overthink waving at someone you haven’t spoken to for two semesters but happens-to-be-walking-down-HoPlaza-and-there’s-nowhere-to-hide and ah! And we overthink how to manage all kinds of relationships Like ever y single teen movie, we languish over waiting to hear back, except we ’ ve changed from waiting on our beds by the cord phone to waiting for that “ping” or “bzz bzz” our iPhones make Technology, while it has theoretically helped us stay in touch more, also gives us more stress from the sheer connectivity of our lives The beauty of mediated communication is that you don’t have to answer right away to that professor’s email or your class project GroupMe, but at the same time, that lack of reply haunts you twice as strong with that little timestamp Along with overanalyzing things, we sometimes become overbearing Cornell is such a networked place that the second you ’ re accepted, you ’ ve been thrust into several boxes At the core you ’ re a fresh-

become exponential with clubs, Greek houses, sports and specific courses all of which entangle you in a web This web c

seniors and staff who are here to teach you about the culture of being a “hotelie,” “black student at Cornell,” “Long Islander on the Hill,” “D G sister,” “flute player,” etc ad infinitum This is the way of society, and while it can be great to belong and pass on those norms and beliefs, it can also become overbearing when we get overw

e Humans are meant to be interdependent of one another, and are meant to have choices, and people will naturally join organizations out of interest Ever yone ’ s experience on campus will be intricately different than others, so it’s important to not see ourselves as strict molds for future and current students, but rather as resources

As typical college students, we get overwhelmed We tr y to eat the world raw, have our cake and eat it too, bite off more than we can chew and we are ultimately spread too thin We also use a lot of eating analogies to describe our stress, or I’m just writing this while hungr y College is intense, don’t get me wrong, and Cornell wins at intensity level but a lot of it can be prevented with strategic time management It’s not an excuse, of course, for insensitive workloads, difficulty in learning and the g e n e r a l s y n e r g i s t i c e f f e c t o f rain/snow/sleet/hail But closing Netflix after one or two episodes of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt could help Lastly, we overfeel We take things too seriously, get worked up over small, trivial nothings that would not other wise bother us At Cornell ever ything is magnified x1000 A snide remark from a friend turns into squad drama, getting called out in class turns into humiliation, a failed crush turns into heartbreak We are drama kings and queens, but in a way we relish in it It brings excitement to our other wise academic lives It gives us conversation topics at Trillium aside from the standard “prelims, papers, p-sets ” repertoire From taking a passive-aggressive note on a fridge too seriously to playing that Sam Smith-AdeleDr a k e Sp o t i f y p l a y l i s t o n re p e a t ( a n d broadcasting it to all your friends) drama is a cathartic process that we all need to go through

It’s important to experience the range of emotions, to overthink, overfeel, overlook and overdo, but then we should reflect on those actions and their underlying motivations Are we really that devoid of stress in our lives that we need to cause external ones? Has this week been pretty mild and you need some grist for YikYak? Whatever the reason, we have to get less overwhelmed, or under whelmed, and just feel “whelmed ” We need to distract our wandering minds, not because it isn’t fun to picture the next five plus years of our lives with someone, complete with the twins’ names and minivan color, but because we shouldn’t get our hopes up for no good reason Let’s focus on the now, and if we can ’ t help but overanalyze ever ything, let’s direct that energy into our academics or distract ourselves until those goals become reality Over doing things can become is so overrated, and frankly, I’m so over it

Ilike my sex to be powerful, full of blunt passion and physical rapture, filled with a pushing and pulling of heads, hair and holes; sex that is saturated with an erotically violent and consensual dynamism, which thrusts me in ever y direction and forcibly grabs and entices ever y quivering inch of my body; sex that hurts so good that I can ’ t even stop to think if marks will be left or if someone has been kept awake by such endlessly v o c i f e r o u s g r u n t i n g S e x a s s e n s u a l l y strategic as the gyrations of our bodies and the cum-bat we wage upon each other’s war-torn, orificial battlefields, yet as primal as the throbbing pulsations of our trembling shafts that detonate the white flag of raw satisfaction and surrender

With my pole and my hole(s), I am a soldier, yet where in this war do I stand? Am I slain or am I slaying? Do I pull the trigger or do I receive the bullet? Are my crevices being colonized or am I the penetrating, imperial aggressor hell-bent on plundering the treasures of a newfound colon(y)? Alas, in order to answer any of these warring questions, I must admit that I h a ve n o t b e e n t r u t h f u l t o yo u a l l Indeed, like the histories of colonized peoples that we were taught about as children, my pseudonym is both m i s l e a d i n g a n d o n l y partially true Although

Positions of Power

I may be masculine (and to some that may even be debatable), I am not just dominant and I am not just a top Rather, I am bottom, diagonal, submissive, aggressive, s

legs tied up in knots by ropes to bed posts and ever ything in between To translate this into the appropriately sterile and documentar y language of my label in the sex-

as they say I would rationalize my decisions by superficially convincing myself that he’s too short, feminine or skinny to top me or too tall or husky to bottom for me

Yet, after a bout of introspection that I avoided for too long, I’ve realized that I must unpack the association between a par ticular position and a power role It

ual marketplace that is the commodified gay world: I am versatile I m

y instances I have found myself only wanting to top or bottom Locked into the mindset of being either hyper-submissive or hyper-dominant, I would only seek sexual partners that could vehemently fulfill one polar end or the other Rarely, if ever, have I found a sexual partner that I could enjoy both with a genuine “flip-fuck,”

wasn ’ t that I didn’t believe in the sexual capacities of others, but that I couldn’t let go of my own insecurities I wanted to be fucked as hard as I wanted to fuck someone else, but only believed that possible of a preconceived image of a certain spice of man I was insecure about being fucked by a man that I didn’t find immediately hyper-dominant, and I didn ’ t understand why I couldn’t accept someone who wasn ’ t I don’t believe

myself to be a super ficial person, but cannot locate the logic behind my rejection of a man ’ s sexual dynamism other than the super ficial

Sex ought to be a space that does not reflect the “reality” of individuals’ outside representations of power, but a space that liberates us to discursively create new “realities” of power and representation Yet I adhered to the representation of a “ masc dom top ” as a subterfuge to distract from my unconscious knowing that these representations were false, incomplete truths of myself and of others truths that would make it incumbent upon me to evaluate my relationships to structures of power, and to allow myself to feel my own vulnerabilities rawly and deeply

Topping and bottoming are fantasies

We will never access the true power that imbues our libido and loins through specific physical positions that we assign and limit ourselves to Rather, we must let go of ourselves and the power we hold, and surrender to our carnal vulnerabilities It is here, in this space we cannot control, that we can unleash and activate the unadulterated energy of desire

Oishii Bowl Review:

By LUKE BULLARD Sun Staff Writer

B ow l i s a s m a l l A s i a n restaurant that focuses on reason-

may not stay open as late as some

o t h e r C o l l e g e t ow n re s t a u r a n

O i s h i i B ow l’s a c c o m m o d a t i n g

seating and savor y cuisine offers diners an enjoyable experience

Perhaps the most notable dish offered at Oishii Bowl is the Kastu Don This delicious blend of fried pork, an over-easy egg and green onions is ser ved atop a bowl of white rice The portion size is generous and matches the modest price for this well-rounded dinner

Like any true Asian restaurant, customers are encouraged

although utensils are provided upon request Si d

Looking for a sweet, refreshing beverage? The Thai iced tea is an excellent choice especially on one of those warm days we hope to be seeing more frequently

If you think you ’ ve seen it all at Oishii Bowl, think again In a d d i t i o n t o t h

offerings, Oishii Bowl has added several tasty new dishes to their lineup: the Kuay Teow (rice noodles in a chicken soup), Pad Prik Moo (pork with oyster sauce) and Kuay Teow Gai Toon (roasted chicken noodle soup)

Despite its fast food chain atmosphere, Oishii Bowl’s food is still high quality, and the interior of the restaurant is pleasant and calm

Another good choice is the miso ramen, which is a combination of pork, hard-boiled egg, bamboo shoots, corn and perfectly cooked noodles all mixed together in a well-salted broth

So if you ’ ve never eaten at Oishii Bowl, I definitely recommend making the trip it’ll soon be one of your favorite

Eight years have passed since Modest Mouse’s last fulllength album, 2007’s We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank 2007 is ages ago in the music world: In 2007, the Jonas Brothers were huge, Kanye West released his new song “Stronger,” Taylor Swift had released one album to date and most mainstream music fans had never heard of dubstep, trap music or Juicy J When a band takes this long to work on a new project, fans expect something risky, adventurous and new If the band is simply going to retread previous ground, then why could it possibly need so much time?

In light of these expectations, what is most surprising about Modest Mouse’s Strangers to Ourselves is how familiar it all sounds There is hardly anything here than is not between somewhat and very reminiscent of previous Modest Mouse songs There is nothing inherently wrong with a band continuing to make music in a style that it knows how to do well, particularly when that music is as uniquely exciting as Modest Mouse’s jagged, anxiety-producing indie pop/rock/funk can be However, after the long hiatus, it’s hard not to find Strangers to Ourselves a little disappointingly stale and safe

That said, the worst moment by far on Strangers to Ourselves may also be the most adventurous “Pistol (A Cunanan, Miami, FL 1996)” begins promisingly with a clat-

tering drum rhythm and devolves into a simply terrible song inspired by serial killer Andrew Cunanan Frontman Isaac Brock leers tritely sexual lyrics like, “Why don’t you come to my room and clean my pistol?” in a voice that sounds like an ape that has acquired speech The song is not only severely tasteless in its banal treatment of a serious topic, but it’s also incredibly annoying

Luckily, the following song is one of their best ever, the beautifully enigmatic “Ansel ” The clicking percussion and pretty guitar flourishes underscore a travel narrative of a trip to Mexico with the narrator ’ s father and brother, Ansel, who is implied to have gone missing at a later date Brock repeats “You can ’ t know / Well, you can ’ t ever really now ” over and over throughout the song, a broad and nonspecific claim that nonetheless achieves resonance by the end of the song The narrator reflects that he didn’t know this trip to Mexico would be the last time he would ever see his brother, and that one can never know “the last time you’ll see another soul ” This a song where the different parts of Modest Mouse melodic, catchy guitars, eclectic percussion and Brock’s impassioned, lisping bark all come together to create something uniquely vulnerable and moving

Most of Strangers to Ourselves, however, sticks to the band’s

Jack Jones is a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences He can be reached at dwj37@cornell edu O O

script more than “Pistol” or “Ansel ” The jittery funk of “Lampshades on Fire” sounds so remarkably like something from We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank that it could have fit seamlessly in its track list, which should not be expected from two albums separated by eight years “The Ground Walks, with Time in a Box” begins in classic Modest Mouse form with a driving guitar rhythm and Brock squeezing in more words in than fit the meter, but continues on too long with a somewhat excessive show of tempo changes and horn and guitar solos The tender acoustic lullaby “Coyotes is pretty but unmemorable, while “God Is an Indian and You’re an Asshole” turns out to be little more than its contentious title If Strangers to Ourselves had been released in 2009, say, it might not seem as disappointing as it does in 2015 The songs are good, but not nearly as raucous, exciting or catchy as their best work The band has promised to release another new album “ as quickly as it’s legally allowed;” maybe this next work will contain the more adventurous, novel efforts of their eightyear hiatus

Stephen Meisel

A paranoid science fiction writer from the ’60s has terrible, carnal nightmares of the apocalypse In his dream there is thunderous music in which philosophies revolve solely around destruction, aggression and pain I’m willing to bet the farm that the three men behind Death Grips are providing that soundtrack, as they’ve been creating something quite like it for the past five years The eponymous single of the second disc of their two-part final album The Powers That B doesn’t stray from that description in the least bit M C Ride raps a mix between a soul being tortured in hell and a convict on the loose; his lyrics are no less violent, no less terrifying than past ones The production from Zach Hill and Andy Morin screams like a supercomputer going rhythmically haywire, its heavy drums and unfurling synthesizers reminiscent of a doom or stoner metal groove instead of a tacky association with dubstep

For the most part, all is well in the rip-roaring land of Death Grips Perhaps the only dissatisfying element of this single is that the lyrics reek of unpolished work Early Death Grips verses displayed stunning technical skill on M C Ride’s part Exmilitary’ s opening track begins with a powerful chant: “I close my eyes and seize it / I clench my fists and beat it / I light my torch and burn it / I am the beast I worship,” and not a single line after falls short of that In The Powers that B,” however, the listener is given the chorus: “I've got the powers that B / Running through me / My favorite color is oh my god bitch / I'm wearing black gloves through your mall, I'm rich ” It isn’t so much a bad few rhymes as it is a sign of little effort on the part of the lyricist, whose past work has made me feel simulatneously empowered and horrified in a way I’ve yet to see from another artist

Hopefully Jenny Death, the second disc of The Powers that B, will show the talent I know M C Ride has in this realm But for the next couple of weeks, I have no problem blowing my speakers with this overclocked mutant of a hip-hop song

After Signing Harvin, Bills Make Clay Offer

ORCHARD PARK, N Y (AP) The Buffalo Bills have free-agent receiver Percy Harvin under contract, and confirmed they’ve submitted an offer for Miami Dolphins tight end Charles Clay

T h e t e

Wednesday It’s a one-year deal initially agreed to last week

Harvin is a dynamic receiver and special-teams returner, who joins his fourth team in two years He opened last season with Seattle before being traded to the New York Jets

As for Clay, the Bills announced they have made an offer to sign the fourth-year player

A person familiar with negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Clay signed the Bills' five-year, $38 million contract offer The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills have not revealed the terms

The Miami Dolphins have five days to match Buffalo, or lose Clay without compensation

Jim Boeheim Will Retire After Three More Seasons

SYRACUSE, N Y (AP)

Jim Boeheim became the face of Syracuse University over the past five decades, first as player, then as coach revered for wins and delivering a national title to a struggling city in 2003 But the coda to his decorated career has become tinged with undeniable

b l e m i s h e s , l a i d o u t i n h a r s h p e n a l t i e s f o r v i o l a

NCAA says show Boeheim and the university lost control of athletics

Boeheim and Syracuse officials acknowledged the unwanted ties Wednesday in announcing he will retire after three more

s e a s o n s , w h i l e i n s i s t i n g t h e y don’t agree with par ts of the scathing NCAA report and will appeal to tr y to save scholarships and wins

S y r a c u s e Un i v e r s i t y Chancellor Kent Syver ud said Boeheim decided to make the announcement to “bring certainty to the team and program in the coming years ” and to allow for a smooth transition

“ C o a c h Ji m B o e h e i m h a s b e e n a m a i n s t a y a t S y r a c u s e University for more than onethird of our entire 144-year histor y, ” Syverud said in a statement “He enrolled as a student here in 1962 and has never left He has been the embodiment of Orange pride ” When Boeheim turned 70 in November, wife Juli asked him if he was OK with coaching as a septuagenarian and all that goes along with it

“I just think one day you ’ re going to have to slow down,” Juli said “He doesn’t want to, number one, and he feels better than he ever has ”

T h e r e ’ s b e e n a c h a n g e o f heart

The violations, lasting more than a decade under Boeheim’s watch, involved academic misconduct, extra benefits and the university’s dr ug-testing policy, according to a March 6 report by t h e N C A A C o m m i t t e e o n Infractions Boeheim is already suspended for the first half of the next Atlantic Coast Conference season, a total of nine games

Sy r a c u s e w i l l a l s o h a v e t h re e scholarships taken away for four seasons and all wins vacated in which an ineligible player partici p a t e d d u r i n g f i

between 2004 and 2012 The total wins removed from records could be as high as 108, depend-

already vacated 24 wins

Athletic director Dar yl Gross is also stepping aside, immediately taking another marketing position with the school Pete Sala will ser ve as interim athletic director Boeheim, who scheduled a news conference for Thursday, has had problems before The NCAA banned the Orange from the 1993 NCAA Tournament for recruiting violations

L o

Mike Hopkins, a former star for the Orange, is in line to succeed Boeheim

In i t s re p o r t , t h e N C A A placed Syracuse on probation for five years for breaking with the “ most fundamental core values of the NCAA ” Athletic department officials interfered with academics, making sure star players stayed eligible, the report said

The report said the former director of basketball operations, who was picked by Boeheim and whose job primarily consisted of m

mance of basketball student-athletes, became overly involved

He c

d student-athletes’ usernames and passwords and provided them to others, including student-athlete support ser vices

r

Members of the support staff

included attached course work to maintain the required grades for the student-athletes to remain eligible, the report said

The 94-page report also said basketball staff encouraged students to develop relationships with a booster, which led to rule violations The booster provided more than $8,000 to three football and two men ’ s basketball students for volunteering at a local YMCA, the repor t said Additionally, the booster gave m

weren

t reported to the school as outside income or supplemental pay, as NCAA rules require

Top-Twenty Defenses Collide at Schoellkopf Field

Cornell Football Program

Headed in Right Direction

I team in the countr y They had the second worst offense and defense in the Ivy League Opponents scored 177 more p o i n t s t h a n C o r n e l l i n t h e

team ’ s 10 games

So yes, the football team wasn ’ t a particularly good (or fun) team to watch for the majority of the 2014 season

That, however, shouldn’t be an indictment on their future and b e a r e a s o n w h y t h e t e a m

s h o u l d s e e d w i n d l i n g a t t e ndance numbers As a group, the team ’ s future looks bright for a multitude of reasons

First and foremost is head coach David Archer ‘05 As a f o r m e r m e m b e r o f t h e Re d offensive line, Archer’s passion for the program and bringing the team in the right direction is second to none When Jim H a r b a u g h l e f t t h e Sa n Francisco 49ers to coach at his alma mater Michigan, analysts talked about how the decorated head coach was the right man to lead the program because of h i s h i s t o r y i n t h e p ro g r a m

W h a t H a r b a u g h i s t o t h e Wolverines, Archer is to the Red Ye s , A rc

If Archer’s Cornell ties and recruiting ability can ’ t eventually lead to success for Cornell,

should just call it a day and

Archer can

t succeed in bringing the Red to the next level, it’ll be next to impossible to find someone who will

But even beyond Archer, the team made considerable strides o

struggling to find a competent quarterback for the majority of the season, Somborn came in and ignited the Cornell offense, opening up the running game for halfback Luke Hagy

The team ’ s major improvem

n

m e o f p o s s

o n strongly benefited the defense, who could catch their breath after spending the majority of the time on the field during the team ’ s offensive struggles With a solid quarterback under center (regardless of whether or not Somborn is the solution

A

showed in the last couple of games of the season albeit against relatively weak competition that his system, both offensively and defensively can be successful

With a lot of strong returning starters and a young nucleus of core players, the Cornell football team is heading in the right direction It’s going to take time for the program to find consistent success on a y e a r l y b a s i s , b u t St e v e Donohue did just that for the basketball program when he coached on the slope Donohue brought Cornell out of the doldrums of the Ivy League and made the program a conference contender

Archer is headed in the right direction at the moment, and although the progress may be hard to see in the statistics, it’s time to jump on the Red football bandwagon so you can tell your friends in the years down the road that you believed in the team before it was popular to do so
