By ERIC OBERMAN

More than 13 years after the Tompkins County Public Library moved to its current location on Green Street, the County is considering various options for commercially developing its old building on N Cayuga Street

Since the library moved out in the fall of 2000, the space valued at $1 5 million has been occupied by various other government agencies, according to Michael Lane (D-14th District), chair of the Tompkins County Legislature

“The County was expanding criminal justice programs, so those programs stayed in the building for about 10 years, ” he said “By now, most have moved out, with the exception of Day Reporting [a criminal justice program for rehabilitating those

Supporting Free Bus Passes, Students Call Skorton’s Of ce

Student organizers hold ‘mock bake sale, ’ exchange cookies for calls to Day Hall

By ANNIE BUI Sun News Ed tor

In an act of “political theater” Thursday, students from across campus exchanged cookies for calls to Day Hall to protest recent University deliberations over discontinuing free first-year Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit bus passes

Though the University Assembly amended its resolution on Tuesday to increase subsidies to TCAT rather than call for the removal of free bus passes for freshmen, President David Skorton will have 30 days to respond to the U A ’ s resolution regarding the future of TCAT bus passes

“Bake sales are the cliché way groups fundraise, so we satirically flipped this tactic on its head ”

The “mock bake sales” held outside Mann Librar y and Willard Straight Hall were intended to initiate conversation between students and administrators on the issue at the grassroots level, according to organizer Rudy Gerson ’15 Following the sale, students dropped off a “letter of demands” at President Skorton’s office

“Bake sales are the cliché way groups fundraise, so we satirically flipped this tactic on its head by handing out free cookies in order to start the conversation with students in an organic way, ” he said

According to Anna-Lisa Castle ’14, an organizer of the event, student involvement during the mock bake sale was significant

“While I wasn ' t able to keep track of all the calls, I will say that I

Students Demand

C.U. Terminat e It s JanSport Contract

By SLOANE GRINSPOON

Sun Staff Writer

On Wednesday, the one-year anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse that killed over 1,100 Bangladeshi garment workers, Cornell students gathered on Ho Plaza to demand that the University cease to partner with corporations that support sweatshop labor specifically clothing manufacturer JanSport

The Cornell Sweatfree Coalition, a partnership of student groups including the Cornell Organization for Labor Action, Cornell Students Against Sweatshops and KyotoNOW!, sponsored the event, where protesters called for the Cornell Store to stop selling JanSport products by hanging a banner comprised of t-shirts covered with hundreds of signatures above the store ’ s Ho Plaza enclave The t-shirt petition was then delivered to President David Skorton’s office

“Today is a national day of action, where students and workers are standing in solidarity with the Bangladeshi factory workers who died in Rana Plaza,” said Allison Considine ’17, a member of the Cornell Organization for Labor Action “We’re asking Cornell to cut our contract with JanSport ”

Though JanSport products specifically are not produced in Bangladesh, other products produced by VF Corporation, its parent company, are produced there According to Steck, VF has refused to sign the Accord on Building and Fire Safety in Bangladesh an independent agreement designed to make all garment factories in Bangladesh safe workplaces

“We sell JanSport in the Cornell Store, and all the profits are going back to that same conglomerate of VF,” Considine said “There are tons of [VF] brands producing [in Bangladesh], and they are making money off of exploiting Bangladeshi workers ”

Large lectures

In February , President David Skorton announced that the University intends to require all licensed apparel contractors to abide by the Accord, calling it “ a fair, transparent and unbiased approach to factory inspection and remediation ” However, JanSport remains technically unaffected

“Cornell is requiring licensees doing business in Bangladesh to become signatories to the Accord in order to continue to be licensed by the University,” Skorton said in a letter to the Cornell Sweatfree Coalition “JanSport does not do business in Bangladesh, therefore we will not end our licensing relationship We consider JanSport’s relationship with VF entirely separate from its relationship with Cornell ” Members of the Cornell Sweatfree Coalition said they dis-

agree with the administration about the dynamics of this relationship and said they view the license with JanSport as support of dangerous work environments and sweatshop labor

“Getting that written into [the University’s] code of conduct was a victory for us, ” said Amy Frieder ’15, the treasurer of COLA “But it means absolutely nothing if we don’t enforce it And so we ’ re pressuring the University to uphold standards that we ’ re setting for ourselves ”

Cutting Free Pa sses Is ‘Absurd ’

was on Ho Plaza for three hours, and there was always at least one person calling if not multiple,” Castle said “We also had students sign the brand new online petition which now has over 400 signatures ”

The University was unable to comment on the number of students who called Day Hall in regard to the issue Thursday evening

Organizers said that they thought the claims that the University cannot afford the bus passes are “inappropriate” and “absurd,” given “multi-million dollar building” projects such as Gates Hall and Cornell Tech

“In light of these projects and also the increase in tuition, if the University can ’ t afford this then they should rethink things,” Nadia Shebaro ’15 said “[In] particular, [they should think] about what’s important to the students and community in general ”

budget priorities, Cornell-Ithaca ties, workers’ rights and our commitment to sustainability among others, ” she said

According to Carrie Freshour grad, the University’s proposal would not only adversely affect first-year students, but graduate and professional students as well

“I see this issue as particularly affecting graduate and professional students who live far from campus, ” she said “I’ve spoken with many staff members in my department who work for Cornell and who can ’ t afford a parking pass, and who are worrying about bus lines being cut if the University makes this decision ”

Castle said she hopes the event will help to build momentum around the effort to save the bus passes and “demand accountability” to Cornellians and the community as a whole

“The ver y act of calling the office and hearing a complaint heard was ... a liberating experience ” R u d y G e r s o n ’ 1 5

Gerson said he thinks widespread concerns raised by the potential cutting of the first-year bus passes shed light on broader issues of University accountability

“ When President [David] Skorton and the Provost’s office decide to cut a basic amenity, students demand to know why,” he said “Other Ivy League [institutions] give them out to all students it almost seems like the least the administration can do The very act of calling the office and hearing a complaint heard was in itself a liberating experience, especially on a campus where strict codes of conduct have become normalized ”

Castle said she believes access to TCAT bus services is “something all students can get behind ”

“Broader questions this issue brings up are important to a lot of people: student autonomy, university

“We wanted to educate students about the issue while making an impact, but also demonstrate how accessible political action can be by using humor and encouraging friendly participation during the bake sale,” she said “We wanted to show the administration how much this issue means to students by generating calls and encouraging people to voice their concerns ”

Gerson also said he hopes to keep the issue of TCAT accessibility and budgetary accountability “ on the minds and hearts” of students

“Too often political demonstration takes itself so seriously that people who want to join or listen feel intimidated and simply spectate, ” he said “This performance was a way to bring others into the conversation our small coalition grows every day and we will soon demand what we and Tompkins County rightly deserve bus passes for all students ”

n just two rotations I feel like the word teamwork has taken on a whole new meaning.

There’s also one in Orange County, California, which is the “ worst officials have seen in two decades ” There have been measles scares in Boston and the Bay Area, too There are all sorts of bizarre outbreaks of measles, mumps and more in the United States and around the globe, as depicted in a fantastic (and terrifying) infographic from the Council on Foreign Relations I urge you to check it out and take note of the title above the map:

“ V a c c i n e - P r e v e n t a b l e Outbreaks ” There is no question that rare infections are on the rise again due to the ill-advised anti-vaccine movement, which is based on a since-retracted study from 1998 linking the

m e a s l e s / m u m p s / r u b e l l a vaccine to autism

If any of your Facebook friends are interested in immunology (or interested in not getting measles), odds are you ’ ve seen all sorts of ar ticles recently about these anti-vaccine-related viral outbreaks (perhaps even the one from the Onion) If you ’ ve read them, you may have noticed that these articles typically explain where the outbreak is, what the symptoms look like and the importance of getting the vaccine This is, of course, great But all of the articles I’ve encountered have forgotten something pretty important

Actually explaining what a virus is I concede that teaching the general public Virology 101 is not the purpose of most news articles, and that the more important objective is getting parents to vaccinate their kids again It is also true that explaining what a virus is may be easier said than done But the puzzling and power ful nature of viruses is exactly why we should all want to know more about them

A vir us consists of a piece of genetic material (DNA or RNA) packaged

inside of a protein coat, with some viruses having a lipid envelope surrounding this coat That’s it At the end of the day, the infectious par ticles that kill human beings around the globe are teeny-tiny hunks of protein with some nucleic acid inside To appreciate the scale we ’ re talking about, the measles virus is just 220 nanometers, which is approximately 409 times smaller than the average thickness of a piece of paper Other vir uses are even smaller; there are sites that let you compare a few different vir uses with objects from daily life, bacteria and various cellular components, which really drives home just how small these bad boys are With such diminutive size and so few components in their possession, viruses can ’ t really do much with-

their ability to co-opt the machinery of a bona fide living cell for these purposes places viruses at the border of living and nonliving But just how can a tiny molecular suitcase filled with such simple baggage fool our sophisticated immune systems? Why haven’t our defense mechanisms eliminated these nonliving entities?

Understanding exactly why viruses exist is likely to always be a bit of a mystery

My favorite theory is the virus-first hypothesis, which suggests that viruses arose before cellular organisms and then coevolved with them To me, this is the best argument due to the evolutionary benefit of a method of horizontal gene transfer, or the sharing of genetic material between organisms without the lengthy process of mating, creating off-

Hopefully, examining what a virus is, why we have them and how impressive they are will prove helpful in the effort to increase understanding of how crucial it is that all who those who can recieve vaccinations do so.

out the help of a host cell A host could be you, me, farm animals or a plant, depending on what virus we ’ re considering (some of the scariest viruses are ones that can jump from animal to human hosts, or zoonoses, but this is a topic for another time) Once a virus has found a suitable host, then it can fulfill the goal of all species: replicate And here’s where scientists of the past have often been stymied by viruses Since a virus can ’ t reproduce on its own, does it count as “alive?” How do we define “alive” anyway?

For an in-depth discussion of this very question and on the history of how viruses are classified, check out “Are Viruses Alive?” by Luis P Villarreal for Scientific American Bottom line, vir uses are widely considered nonliving since they cannot independently utilize energy, make proteins or reproduce, but

spring and raising those offspring Perhaps at one time, having vir uses helped quickly create genetic diversity within our species, and thus viruses stuck around and co-evolved with us

Supporting evidence can be found by inspecting our genomes, where you can find that eight percent of the human genome derives from retrovir uses which inserted themselves into our DNA and then got passed down by our ancestors

Humans and other mammals have in turn utilized those ancient viral genes to assist in development, formation of the placenta and who knows what else

So perhaps viruses have not been eliminated because sometimes they have proven helpful to our species But what about all those times when they really aren ’ t helpful, like the outbreaks we ’ re seeing now?

You would think that our

complex immune system would be able to handle any virus that comes along But, as it turns out, viruses have evolved brilliant mechanisms to evade the immune system There are viruses with proteins on their coats that mimic human proteins, so our system doesn’t recognize them as foreign Other vir uses prevent infected cells from presenting pieces of degraded viral proteins on their surface, effectively stifling that cell’s cry for help to the immune system Others, like HIV, preferentially infect cells of the immune system, so that when new cells traffic to an infected cell to come take care of the problem, they become infected themselves You could write an entire book about the many impressive strategies that viruses use to survive the tumultuous world inside of our bodies And they accomplish this all with just a fe w genes Suddenly, these tiny invaders don’t seem so simple anymore Hopefully, examining what a virus is, why we have them and how impressive they are will prove helpful in the effor t to increase understanding of how crucial it is that all those who can receive vaccinations do so Viral infection should not be treated lightly Perhaps as a remnant of an ancient symbiotic relationship with viruses, they are very much here to stay There’s a lot we don’t currently understand about viruses, but we do know that these “ creatures ” are capable of elegant ways to avoid elimination by our immune system If we want to keep viruses at bay, we need to strive to teach more people about them with the hope that doing so creates renewed respect for medical advances that turn the tables and allow us to evade them

Veep Impact: The End of The West Wing

Veep’ s tour de destruction of a third season The glossy veneer of

The most ruthless killing on HBO last Sunday night did not involve wildlings and cannibals Seven years since The West Wing went off air, the show was officially slayed, and the last episode of Veep was caught holding the bloody knife Veep’ s been stabbing at Aaron Sorkin’s opus for two-plus seasons now, using the titular character’s White House ambitions to impugn political righteousness, a righteousness President Bartlett’s team perspired

Veep embodies the public’s perception of politics in the post“ Yes We Can” era, where CPACs, filibusters and the Brothers Koch come to mind before progress In last Sunday’s episode, “Alicia,” a poster of Faustus hangs inconspicuously in the background as Vice President Selena Meyers, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, wrestles with supporting either a single mother’s noble efforts to expand childcare or the stodgy Democratic senators whose endorsements are crucial to her Presidential run In true Faustian fashion, Meyer’s sells her soul to the political establishment to the ire of the single mother and the viewer

Souls on The West Wing were rarely stained by the devilish lure of ambition and greed If a character was ever tempted to hop off the righteousness wagon, a pathos-tugging resolution would Purell the character’s morality free of impropriety

Such a resolution is found in Season Six’s “King Corn,” where two of the candidates to replace POTUS Bartlett are faced with their own Faustian dilemma They can follow their convictions and rebuke ethanol subsidies or they could bite the kernel and appease the all-important Iowan caucusgoer In the world of The West Wing, both candidates could stand strong against ethanol subsidies Both candidates could refuse to compromise their beliefs, laugh about the political “suicide” they just committed and still go on to obtain their respective party ’ s nomination The conclusion to “King Corn” is uplifting, cozy and completely fanciful

The West Wing isn’t deser ving of scorn Its writing is palatable syrup and its sentimentality is warming It’s the perfect show for your dad as he transitions into a grandfather But its tone never seemed as outdated as it does in the wake of

public’s eye since Toby, Sam, Josh, C J and Leo first started talkingwhile-walking on screen

Veep eviscerates the notion that one can sur vive in D C ’ s main industr y without caving to the devil While still much zanier than re

more rooted in reality In Doctor Fa

writes, “If we say that we have no

there’s no truth in us ” Both Veep and The West Wing are part-caricatures of real politics, with each setting camp in polar opposite ideo-

ceived brokenness of Washington, the outlandishly sinfulness of Veep seems to hold more truth

The satirist behind Veep is Armando Iannucci, who HBO imported from Britain to replicate his success as showrunner of The Thick of It and as director of In the Loop, both of which are exceedingly watchable Iannucci’s works profit from their heavy use of a patently British form of droll comedy, where ever yone operates at var ying degrees of miserable, and awkwardness breeds entertainment Iannucci thrives on leaving characters out to struggle like a fly in a spider web

Watching a spider eat the fly can be excruciating Some moments of Veep are truly hard to sit through, like in “Alicia” when Meyer’s sadsack press secretar y Mike begs super brat journalist Jonas not to run a stor y Squirming is inevitable while watching Mike doff an imaginar y cap from his knees while singing a Civil War ballad with a folksy twang to the glee of the ever-punchable Jonas

The humor of Veep is far from all dr y At its best, the show cracks with ver ve Its pistol-paced wit and cultural references will get you well acquainted with the HBOGO rewind button (or with clicking backwards on Project Free

TV ) Iannucci is similar to Sorkin in that both men ’ s characters converse in a way we outside the screen don’t A So

Iannucci character is a Picasso of the insult The level of verbal sparring on this show would have Wilmer Valderrama fork over all the cash money (I’ll update my references soon) Veep writers hold as much regard for political correctness as they do for politics This approach produces such putdown gems as “ You’re not even a man you ’ re like an early draft of a man, where they just sketched out a giant mangled skeleton but they didn't have time to add details, like pigment or self-respect” and “Are we seriously going to let the guy with the police-sketch face of a rapist tell us what to do?” And that’s just a smattering

While the episode “Helsinki” from Season 2 might be Veep at its one-liner peak, “Alicia” is the episode most deser ving to be parsed as a political statement And when a comedy turns into something more, it’s best time to tune in

Playing the Frame Game at the Johnson

The newest exhibition at the Johnson Museum takes frames a step beyond the bord e r s o f a r t In c o l l a b o r a t i o n w i t h t h e Department of History of Art, the Johnson Museum opened enticing the eye/exploring the frame this Friday, organized by students of the History of Art Majors’ Society The exhibition explores the way that subjects or scenarios are situated in their respective work

Since 1993, the History of Art Majors’ Society has annually curated an exhibition f ro m t h e Jo h n s o n Mu s e u m a rc h i ve s

Narrowed from over 200 initial selections

from the Johnson’s archives, the final exhibition in the Kress Study Gallery features the curatorial collaboration of History of Art majors across all four years of study

The exhibit is structured around three primary concepts: Framing through abstraction, the artists’ framing of themselves and the framing of history Through these core concepts the exhibit considers the interaction of a subject and its presentation Centered on a unique mode of interpretation rather than a concrete subject, the exhibit presses one to view the exhibit beyond a merely aesthetic experience and take the perspective of the artist

The basis of the exhibit is broad; the con-

framing obvi-

from implicit bias of histor-

concepts, but

averts redun-

impact If the

framing of history, the evident mockery in Andy Warhol’s “Vote McGovern,” (1972) an illustration of Nixon blotched with gaudy color and a promotion for his opponent, may seem blatant Yet, among the breadth of “frames” explored in the exhibit, Warhol’s work is refreshingly straightforward Enticing the eye/exploring the frame is thought provoking without being elusively interpretive, making it an enjoyable exhibit for a casual museum-goer as well as an art aficionado

An overwhelming majority of the pieces in enticing the eye/exploring the frame are photographs, many in black and white, followed by an assortment of prints Other than being a logical extension of the artist’s discretion in capturing a visual perspective, the selection of photography also reinforces the viewer’s connection with the artist, realistically positioning them into the artist’s shoes

“Stars and Stripes” by Emma Amos (1992) seems to be one of the most powerful works in the exhibit, a blue-tinted photograph of a group of African American children imposed in the top left corner of an American flag, streaked in red oil with an “X” smeared across the center Framing, in the conceptual and tangible sense, a historical injustice, the work thoroughly manipulates the perception of an otherwise simple photograph of several black children in 20th century America

By the same token, the juxtaposition of Imogen Cunningham’s Model in Monterey Co and Ruth Bernhard’s In the Box Horizontal are another enticing part of the e x h i b i t i o n B o t h n u d e p h o t o g r a p h s ,

Cunningham’s image of a woman stretched across the floor of a cave intriguingly contrasts Bernhard’s containment of her model to a box Using different visual framework in to frame the same subject and same issue of gender, the two photographs emphasize the impact of an artist’s placement in determining the message of a work of art

Ultimately, enticing the eye/exploring the frame brings to life the impact of an artist’s perspective in developing the message of a work of art Tackling a variety of concepts of framework, from historical to abstract, the exhibit concurrently touches an expanse of social issues such as gender and race in a way that is collectively thought provoking The overall diversity of the exhibit reflects the contributions and perspectives of a variety of students in a way that highlights the breadth of form and impact of an artist’s framework In many cases placing viewers behind the artist’s lens, the pieces in the exhibit also bring to life the liberties and responsibilities held by the artist in controlling the way that their art is perceived

In the spirit of analyzing perspective, this year HAMS encourages viewers to interact on social media by uploading photos of meaningful works to Instagram with the hashtag #HAMS HAMS will host a video symposium for enticing the eye/exploring the frame on April 29 in the A D White House

NYMPHOMANIC

ZACHARY ZAHOS Sun Senior Writer

I don’t know I mean, what else I have seen by Lars von Trier (Melancholia, Dancer in the Dark) has also left me slack-jawed by the end The Dane has a knack for translating his cruel, starless worldview into undeniably arresting cinema, both celestial and psychological in scope But this is just something else It’s not the inherent pornography of these images that leaves me at an impasse take “Desire & Cinema” with Prof Ellis Hanson, English, and your tolerance of, even appreciation for explicit art will grow and make you forever wiser No, Von Trier attacks something close to home, for me at least: the act of criticism itself

Nymphomaniac: Volumes I and II, a fourhour sexual bildungsroman split in half to facilitate distribution and, in reality, make two times the money, straddles two different modes: Backwards-looking narrative and contemporary criticism of said narrative The storyteller is Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), who Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård), an intellectual, Stephen Dedalus-type, finds bloodied and incapacitated in an alleyway by his local convenience store The alley’s vertical, recursive walls echo F W Murnau’s German Expressionism that is, until von Trier rotates his camera some 270 degrees like Gaspar Noé and blasts Rammstein’s “Führe Mich” on the soundtrack It is the first instance of bathos that totally undermines whatever impression you had been forming in your head to that point, and it sure ain’t the last Seligman brings Joe to his humble apartment, where he offers her tea and she tells him her life story Her story starts at the beginning, with a now famous line, “I discovered my cunt as a two-year-old ” Joe narrates with as little emotion as you probably just read that sen-

SIMPLY ENLIGHTENED PORN?

tence, so the word “irony” is applicable here, there, everywhere Played by Stacy Martin in teenage flashbacks and Gainsbourg for most of the latter half, Joe covers a life’s worth, and then some, over four hours: Discovering beauty in nature with her father (Christian Slater, with a poor British accent); losing her virginity to an excitable older boy, Jerôme (Shia

LaBeouf, same); competing with her friend, while wearing “fuck-me-now” attire, in screwing a train’s worth of men, all for a bag of chocolate sweets; provoking the wrath of Uma Thurman (just phenomenal), playing the dumped wife of one of Joe’s most gullible partners; marrying Jerôme and giving birth to a child whom she does not love; searching for her lost orgasm through routine visits to a sadomasochist ( Jamie Bell, sort of incredible here); dabbling in “debt collection,” a k a organized crime run by a typically wraithlike Willem Dafoe; and, naturally, a lot more

is just there You see close to everything, and sometimes actually everything, but von Trier does not bathe the intercourse in titillating lights or shroud it in I’m-Making-AStatement darkness It’s just sex Moving on Throughout Joe’s retelling, Seligman interjects to draw analogies from the literature, music and history he loves We are supposed to laugh at the extremity and banality of his similes, which range from prowling as flyfishing and polygamous sex as a Bach fugue Seligman does not know what to do with Joe and her insatiable sexuality but see her as another great text, to be studied and com-

The tone of the first volume is one of high comedy, where von Trier superimposes numbers and throws in split screen effects to alleviate awkwardness The second volume, as the later plot summary only hints at, darkens and loses its voice as a result The sex, meanwhile,

pared with He does what a critic is supposed to do, except he extrapolates a bit too much, drawing connections too far removed from Joe’s experience, with which he cannot relate Seligman hits gold now and then, like when he rebukes Joe’s self-labeling as a sinner when she also proudly disavows religion; in turn, Joe

resolves, through minute, Tarantino-esque dialogue, his elitist thought process regarding how one clips their fingernails Seligman does not judge her and even praises how she has, her entire life, retained her agency which is true, in that no matter how much you dislike Joe by the end of this film, you must admire von Trier’s unorthodox commitment to female empowerment and, it must be said, some broad tenets of feminism

Except at the end, when von Trier blows off the head of his own movie I will not spoil it, but I will say it is outrageously cynical It negates the film’s thematic momentum in its embrace of nihilism It is too much Or, perhaps, von Trier wants to remind us that the world of Nymphomaniac is still a text, and to take anything that is said, through Joe’s narration, her flashbacks, Seligman’s analogies or the very composition of the projected image, as a vehicle not for spoon-fed lessons but some higher, figurative truth

What that truth is, I have no clue Is von Trier just raising a middle finger to the critics many of whom championed his work, of course under some guise of deconstructionism, settling on a thesis along the lines of that immortal quote from The Rules of the Game: “The awful thing about life is this: everyone has their reasons”? Given the way Joe ruins families and seeks out black men for sex, only to call them “Negros,” this throwinghands-up-in-the-air tactic may be the most fitting way to critique Nymphomaniac In that, these characters are above critique Not a very comforting verdict, in my view, but clearly von Trier believes it His films, and especially this one, must only, truly make sense to him God help him

Anal Virgins, Public Penetration and Performance

Performance art is the Jan Brady of the art world consistently misunderstood Understandably, it’s an art form that comes under fire even more frequently than it is legitimized, and Lady Gaga and her egg-sleeping, meatdress wearing antics ain’t helping matters Nor is either of James Franco’s or Shia LaBeouf ’ s performance art lifestyles, curating a portfolio of career choices as art objects But when a 19-year-old London art school punk claims to create art through the public penetration of his virgin butthole, performance art ’ s reputation of shock-for-shock-value seems regrettably accurate

Worse than the dude who planted a fake bomb at the Boston Marathon this year in the name of art, Clayton Pettet has been hyping his live performance piece, “Art School Stole My Virginity,” for over a year What can be a more unpleasant experience than watching some skinny brat take it up the butt for the first time in a borderline pornographic exhibition? Well, the actual show’s execution was much, much worse After months of scandal and media backlash, of peers claiming to have recently smashed Pettet, of peers claiming to have their ideas ripped off by Pettet, the show finally premiered earlier this month

Ten thousand hopeful audience members rallied through a careful selection process for one of 120 available tickets to make it to a show that has been rescheduled time and time again only to witness the penetration of zero buttholes In an ending so predictable it became unpredictable, Pettet did not partake in anal sex What the observers received instead was a juvenile collection of art school clichés, of piled bananas and half-nude women in sheaths These nude characters held up signs that read, “ANAL VIRGIN” and “LIVE FUCK BUTT VIRGIN SEX SHOW” as a disturbed Pettet stumbled to the ground in all his painted glory Marked with

phrases like “NSFW” and “TEEN WHORE,” Pettet furiously scrubbed away these words as his skin turned ruddy from abrasion Because, get it? Scrubbing away society’s hateful labels and stuff!

Later, audience members were shuffled into a basement where more graffiti bedecked the walls, reading, “Performance art is shit” and “#trending ” Wow, it looks like Pettet has opened this thing called the Internet once or twice to read his own coverage Pettet is, like, so self-aware of what the media and society has to say After this, observers followed one-byone into a “penetration booth” where they are instructed to penetrate Pettet’s mouth eight times with any of the scattered bananas nearby “I am your anal virgin,” he says, “and you are my partner ” Oooh, because all of us have been mouth-fucked by society Because blah media is toxic and blah no real virgins exist and blah metaphors Finally, the gallery emptied out into a room where erotic, hyper-colored prints of girls being fingered (and other nonsensical raunchiness) line the walls They’re for sale on Instagram because of course they would be

“How clever that the artist displayed the controversy surrounding his performance as the performance itself,” said no one, ever, since this tired art gimmick started over a century ago Next up, Pettet will shit in a pizza box and sell it to you because it’s raw and visceral and may possibly be misconstrued as social commentary It is so outrageous and shocking, maybe it will distract viewers from the conspicuous lack of meaning in any of my art!

Did no one boink in the show because our virginity is a social construct that doesn’t really exist? Did the vulnerability and anticipation of the act say more about sex than sex itself? Did anyone buy any of this hack’s navel-gazing clichés? Not to completely vilify Pettet, who is after all, only 19 and dumb and horny like the rest of us, but for such a sexual virgin, he does a lot of whoring himself out to the press His current portfolio is probably full of canvases covered in mutilated Barbie parts and black and white films of floating plastic bags

In the end, this wasn ’ t some lazily cut documentary of a wannabe auteur that Pettet chose to complete for his school assignment, but it wasn ’ t really art either Though Pettet’s intentions may not have been inherently bad, his work serves as a perfect representation for why the public so quickly maligns contemporary art Either it’s abstract expressionist paintings, which garners a chorus of, “My kid could draw that,” or it’s performance art, bemoaned for its supposed lack of substance

But in its truest form, performance art doesn’t lack substance it’s merely reductionist And therein lies a huge difference Performance art strips away the trappings of social convention in an attempt to reach the truer meanings of humanity underneath, which is why so much performance art happens in the literal nude And really, we should love performance art for its absolute purity It’s art for art ’ s sake because nothing can be sold, and even any ephemera from the performance videos, t-shirts, props are strictly defined as false idols of the art As Marina Ambramovic has said: “It’s not a painting you can hang on the wall and look at it tomorrow If you talk about immaterial art, it’s about energy ” Abramovic, her ex-partner Ulay and others have defined this field with their intense, superhuman commitment to their craft Alas, there is a way for performance art to be deeply disturbing and provocative without jumping the shark into Pettet’s derivative drivel Chris Burden got shot in the arm in his exhibition, “Shoot, 1971” and Vito Acconci publicly masturbated under a stairwell for “Seedbed ” Carolee Schneeman actually pulled a paper scroll out of her vajay to comment on the synthesis of logos and mythos in the feminine form These performances were all legendary, creating lasting meaning from a temporary act, and they miraculously involved zero publicity ploys (or bananas) So, the next time I ask you to penetrate my mouth eight times with a burrito in the name of performance, ask yourself, “Is this art or is this just delicious?” My money ’ s on the latter

e c i de on Union

E VA N S TO N , I l l ( A P ) No r t h w e s t e r n

University’s football players will cast ballots Friday on whether to form the nation’s first union for college athletes a potentially landmark vote that will be kept sealed for months and possibly years

The National Labor Relations Board said Thursday it will hear an appeal by Northwestern challenging the decision from a regional NLRB director who ruled the players are university employees and thus have the right t o u n i o n i z e T h e b o a rd s a i d t h e b a l l o t s w i l l b e impounded at least until it issues its decision later this year If the case lands in court, it could be a far longer before the results of the vote are known

The vote comes one day after leaders at the NCAA endorsed a dramatic proposal to give its biggest and most powerful member schools the autonomy to make decisions for its athletes, including more robust funding of scholarships, the ability t o a d d re s s h e

lead to player strikes in the event of a dispute but if it did, replacement players could be brought in to cross picket lines

“ The tension created in such a situation would be unprecedented and not in anyone ' s best interest,” it said

The school also said divisions could emerge between scholarship players eligible for union membership and walk-ons, coaches and staff

“ There is no question but that the presence of a union would add tension in terms of creating an ‘ us ’ versus ‘them’ feeling between the p

R a m o g i H u m a

n d other key areas Union supporters say they are seeking guaranteed coverage of sports-related medical expenses for current and former players

There have been no raucous rallies or demonstrations on the 19,000-student campus just north of Chicago, just official notices about the vote posted near the Wildcats’ locker room But there has been plenty of lobbying in the form private meetings, calls and emails, and ever yone from coach Pat Fitzgerald to NCAA President Mark Emmert has called for a “ no ” vote

The 76 scholarship football players eligible to cast ballots know the spotlight is on them, said Ramogi

Hu m a , p re s i d e n t o f t h e C o l l e g e At h l e t e s Pl a ye r s Association, which would represent the players at the bargaining table if the pro-union side prevails

Some of the pressure they feel stems from dire Northwestern claims about the consequences of unionization, he said

“ They’re looking at anything and ever ything to invoke fear in the players,” said Huma, a former UCL A linebacker and longtime critic of the NCAA “ We feel like some of the tactics are scare tactics ” Northwestern, which is required by law to let the vote proceed, denies applying undue pressure on players to vote “ no ” However, it recently sent a 21-page question-and-answer document to the players outlini n g t h e p r o b l e m s w i t h f o r m i n g a u n i o n In i t , Northwestern said it hoped unionization would not

those it would not, ” it said Nor thwestern did not release the document publicly, but The Associated Press obtained a copy and a spokesman for the universit y ’

e n t , Pa u l Kennedy, verified its authenticity

Alan K Cubbage, the school's vice president for university relations, dismissed Huma’s suggestion that the school was using scare tactics

“I would say strongly that Northwestern has conducted an election campaign according to the procedures and the rules of the NLRB,” he said

When outgoing Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter announced in Januar y that he would lead the drive to unionize, helped by CAPA and the United Steelworkers, he said nearly all of his fellow teammates were behind him

Safety Davion Fleming said his teammates slowly began to understand the issues aren ’ t clear-cut

“ When the union talk initially started, it wasn ’ t ver y clear what was going on, ” said Fleming, who can ’ t vote because his eligibility is exhausted “I think they didn't understand the implications ”

Huma said Northwestern seemed to be intentionally misconstruing the facts, and said the school’s “subliminal messages ” included the suggestion that a “ yes ” vote could throw their amateur status into question

“No one is taking about striking,” he said “ They are tr ying to rattle players ”

The fight has been noticed by incoming recruits, too

“I went there for many reasons, more than just football,” said Justin Jackson, a running back recruit from Carol Stream “ There’s no possible way that it would have deterred me from signing back in Februar y ”

BOSTON (AP) New York Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda was suspended for 10 games Thursday after being caught using pine tar He said he won ’ t appeal the penalty that will cost him two starts

“I accept it,” Pineda said before Thursday night’s game at Fenway Park “I know I made a mistake ”

The commissioner’s office announced the ban, which started immediately

Pineda was ejected in the second inning of Wednesday night’s 5-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox after umpires found the pine tar on the right side of the right-hander’s neck

After the game, Pineda admitted he used the pine tar to help him grip the ball on a cool, windy night

“I feel so bad,” he said Thursday

Pineda said he had never used pine tar before this season He spent his first seas o n i n t h e m a j o r s w i t h t h e Se a t t l e Mariners in 2011 then missed the last two with the Yankees following right shoulder surger y

“I think he understood” the seriousness of his action, said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, who expected a suspension of about 10 games, “but I think he got caught up in the moment of competing and it got the best of him ”

Girardi indicated David Phelps would take Pineda’s turn in the rotation Phelps came into the game with two outs in the second after Pineda was ejected

The ejection set off a debate in the baseball world about pitchers who try pine tar,

and whether it should be allowed in certain circumstances

Many former aces said they had done it, albeit in a more discreet man-

ner “I’ve seen a lot of things in my career, so I’m not blind to it” being viewed as part of baseball, said Girardi, a former catcher in his seventh year as Yankees manager Rule 8 02(b) prohibits pitchers from

“We want to make sure we do it the right way.”

“I wouldn’t be against coming up with an idea” to modify the rule so pitchers could get a better grip on the ball in cold weather, Girardi said “It would be a great time for someone to start looking at " coming up

with one substance pitchers would be allowed to use

Pineda wasn ’ t seen with the pine tar in the first inning, when the Red Sox roughed him up Boston manager John Farrell asked plate umpire Gerry Davis to check Pineda after two fast outs the next inning

Davis went to the mound, touched Pineda’s neck and ejected him

Earlier this month, Pineda pitched well in a 4-1 win over the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium Television cameras showed a substance on his hand in the fourth inning

Pineda said it was dirt, not pine tar His hand was clean in the fifth and Farrell didn ’ t ask for him to be checked

Pineda said he didn’t use pine tar in a start against the Chicago Cubs, in between his Red Sox outings

Among other suspensions of pitchers for pine tar in the past decade, Tampa Bay’s Joel Peralta was penalized eight games in 2012, the Angels’ Brendan Donnelly 10 days in 2005 and St Louis’ Julian Tavarez 10 days in 2004 The suspensions of Donnelly and Tavarez were cut to eight days after they asked the players’ association to appeal, and Peralta dropped his challenge with no reduction

Pineda said Thursday he didn’t feel the ball well in the first inning when he allowed two runs on four hits And he said he wanted to be careful not to hit any batters

“I know it’s pine tar, but the pine tar did not help me ” throw harder, he said “It helped me for feel, (get) a better grip ”

After being shut out in three straight games against Columbia last weekend, the baseball team ’ s bats came a l i v e i n Tu e s d

Binghamton Though the Red mounted two valiant comebacks in the game, it was not enough to best the Bearcats, as the team dropped its ninth straight, 8-6

According to sophomore outfielder Jordan Winawer, the Red gained some confidence after putting r uns on the board in Tuesday’s game

plated two more later in the inning, cutting the deficit to one

“Our team is resilient and will continue to fight until the game is over, no matter what the score [is],” Winawer said “ That attitude set the stage for the multiple rallies that game ”

After freshman Scott Soltis blanked the Bearcats in the top of the seventh, the Red took advantage of an oppor tunity to tie the game up Winawer led off with a walk and a stolen base, finding h i m s

“I think our offense got back on track against Binghamton,” he said “ We’re ready to put last weekend behind us [and] are looking for ward to another series this weekend against Princeton ” Cornell sent freshman Tim Willittes to the mound, and he gave his team five strong scoreless innings The offense got on the board first in the bottom of the fifth, when senior infielder Ben Swinford and junior infielder Kevin Tatum hit back-to-back doubles to take a 1-0 lead Willittes hit his first bump, though, in the next frame, allowing three r uns only one of them earned before he was pulled A pair of errors plagued the Red, as four of the five r uns in the innings were unearned

“ We need to improve our focus the whole game to avoid costly mistakes in the field,” Winawer said Down 5-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth, the Red mounted a comeback that would put it right back in the game Junior outfielder JD Whetsel star ted the rally with a hit by pitch and promptly stole second He moved to third on a groundout and then scored on junior first baseman Ryan Plantier’s single to left Junior designated hitter Ryan Karl then scorched a double into the gap that

D’Alessandro then hit a base-knock to left, which got past the left-fielder and rolled to the wall Winawer scored easily to tie the game, but D’Alessandro was cut down tr ying to take home on the play

It was a momentum shift in Binghamton’s favor, as the Bearcats answered with two r uns in the eighth to take a lead from which the Red would never fully recover Cornell cut the deficit to one in the bottom of the eighth off Swinford’s RBI single, but Binghamton put an insurance r un on the board in the ninth to regain the two-r un lead

The Red still did not lie down easy, as D’Alessandro and senior outfielder Chris Cr uz kept things alive with two-out singles to put the tying r un on base Freshman catcher Jamie Smith then gave the ball a ride to the warning track in right field, but it was caught to end the game

Princeton will come to town this weekend to kick off the final Ivy League series of the season Looking to snap a nine-game skid, the Red faces off against a Tiger team that is one game ahead in the standings

“ We know that this weekend is going to be competitive,” Winawer said “ With them being only a game ahead of us, we want to come out strong and play our game ”

It’s quite a sight to see very large athletes, with cave-men like beards following the no-shaving playoff tradition, gleefully skate around while kissing and hoisting the cup again and again.

34 5 piece of pure silver has been the highest trophy in hockey ever since When a team wins the Cup, the names of all the team ’ s players are engraved on it To prevent it from growing, the oldest bands are taken off and stored in the hockey hall of fame for eternity All in all, winning the cup is more than just a championship, it’s literally etching a place in hockey histor y It’s quite a sight to see ver y large athletes, with cavemen-like beards f o l
