Prosecutors to Retry Alleged Cornell Murderer

By ANNA DELWICHE Sun News Editor

In response to President Donald Trump’s controversial decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, a group of 16 democratic attorneys general filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court in Brooklyn on Wednesday

Leading the movement are attorneys general Eric T Schneiderman of New York, Maura Healey of Massachusetts and Bob Ferguson of Washington

The suit claims that Trump’s decision was motivated by “racial animus toward Mexican Americans” and violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution as well as the right process of the Administrative Procedure Act, The New York Times

A new trial will reportedly begin next week for the man accused of murdering Ithaca College student Anthony Nazaire on Cornell’s campus, following a mistrial in June

Nagee Green, 23, arrested in November 2016, allegedly stabbed two Ithaca College students Nazaire and Rahiem Williams following a party in Willard Straight Hall outside of Olin Hall on Aug 28, 2016

According to Williams’ testimony at Ju n e ’ s t r i

d around 45 seconds, The Ithaca Voice reported Attorneys presented DNA evidence of the knife allegedly used in the stabbing and Snapchat videos from the encounter

The trial in June lasted 10 days with four subsequent days of jur y deliberation,

Williams

However, the jur y was

murder, with 10-2 in favor of the conviction charge, according to The Voice "We have continued to evaluate the case and prepare in the best way possible to present the evidence in the way that's clearest and most logical so that the jur y can do the right thing," District Attorney Matt Van Houten told The Voice in June "We believe he's guilty of murder and so we ' re going to charge him with

murder in the second degree, as we did in the first trial "

Following the hung trial, Judge John C Rowley dismissed the jur y and indicated that there would be a future retrial, according to The Voice

demanded a life sentence for

“[Green] is not an innocent person, ” after the arrest in November Jur y selection for the new trial is set to begin next week on Sep 15

How I Met Your Mother Star Links

Acting Career With Jewish Identity

tic or solipsistic thing,” he said “I couldn’t locate anything altruistic in wanting to be an actor and I just couldn't figure out if I really wanted to be one ”

“I never thought much about being Jewish because I was so saturated in it.”

Q

, a rabbi in his campus Jewish community reminded him that being an actor did not have to be anti-

thetical to Judaism Years later, Radnor has discovered that his show business has become intertwined with his spiritual identity

“Reading a play and reading t h e Ta l m u d a r e e x a c t l y t h e same, ” he said “ You’re reading the surface words and digging underneath them ” Growing up Jewish also gave him a “minority perspective” on American life, which he said gave him the valuable writing skills of w a t c h i n g a n d o b s e r v i n g a s a “perennial outsider ”

As he continued in his career in Hollywood and TV, he has continued his spiritual searching that stemmed from his Jewish background

Around the time Radnor finished his final season on “How I Met Your Mother” in 2014, he said, he has tried to meditate and pray ever y day

“I’ve been saying this Jewish

prayer that I learned as a kid ever y morning,” he said His prayer translates to: “ Thank you for returning for my soul to my body ”

Amid events like the antis e m i t i c p r o t e s t s i n Charlottesville and continuing violence in Israel and Palestine, Radnor has become more motivated to pursue comedy shows while focusing on living “ethically

”

“I like the ability to transform pain to humor,” he said In times of hostility, “I look to Judaism and I look to all sorts of traditions but one of the things I keep getting into is the central thing of myster y, uncertainty In that humility of saying ‘I don’t know,’ I feel there’s something powerful ”

City Passes Resolution to Recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day

In an 8-1 decision, Common Council decides to replace celebration of Columbus Day, amend city code

and has the city of Ithaca joining Cornell’s Student Assembly and Faculty Senate in recognizing this day In 2016, Tompkins County recognized Indigenous Peoples’ Day, though it is not clear if that change was permanent

Alderperson Ducson Nguyen, who represents the Second Ward, brought the ordinance after penning a letter with the suggestion for Indigenous Peoples’ Day to his colleagues

The letter, written on Aug 4, says, “Many of our constituents and I believe the second Monday of October is better suited to celebrate the histor y and endur-

ing cultural contributions of indigenous peoples ” Nguyen worked in collaborat i o n w i t h S c h e l l e y Mi c h e l lNu n n , A r i L a v i n e a n d m a n y indigenous groups and their allies in the community to craft this ordinance Alexas Esposito and Maya Soto, of the Taino tribe, joined Nguyen to talk about the ordinance at the meeting

amendments up at an earlier county meeting, she said there “ was a lot of disrespect

“This is a day to recognize indigenous people throughout the United States and throughout the world.”

“As the ordinance got drafted, they opened it up for us to comment on and give our input as part of the indigenous community,” Esposito said “Part of what we have been doing as the Cayuga Lake Water Protectors is maintaining relations and keep connecting with other indigenous people in the community ”

The pair also suggested two amendments they thought were necessar y to the historical accuracy and importance of the ordinance Both amendments passed with a 8-1 vote before the entire ordinance was voted on

The first amendment revised phrasing to make clear that land previously owned by indigenous people was still their land

The second amendment revoked the doctrine of discover y

Set forth in 1493 by Pope Alexander VI, the doctrine of discover y claimed that land not inhabited by Christians was available for discover y, claiming and exploitation by Christian rulers Esposito and Soto thought the revocation of this doctrine was important as to be historically accurate and raise awareness about it and its consequences

towards indigenous people at the meeting and there was little acceptance of the suggestions that we had, which were similar to the amendments made tonight ”

“It was really disheartening to see that there was a group of people that had to make a decision and had to pass it back to go through it all over again, when the reality was there was a group of people there willing to offer their help,” she added

She was even more shocked that most of them did not know what the doctrine of discover y was

As a result, Esposito was “extremely happy,” when Common Council made their decision

“I think this is larger than the histor y of this specific area I think this is a day to recognize indigenous people throughout the United States and throughout the world and the consequences they have experienced as a result of colonization,” Aldermen Cynthia Brock, who represents the first ward, said in response to the doctrine of discover y amendment

ILR faculty perspectives on negotiations between the Cornell administration and CGSU

To th e E di to r:

The following letter was sent to Cornell President Martha Pollack on September 6, 2017:

Dear President Pollack:

Labor Day provides an important moment to reflect on the rights of employees, including on the Cornell campus As you know, in March 2017, Cornell graduate employees voted on whether to be represented by the Cornell Graduate Students United in collective bargaining with Cornell The election results were close, with 856 votes for union representation, 919 votes against union representation and 81 ballots not yet counted due to questions about voter eligibility At this point, therefore, the final outcome of that election remains uncertain According to the Cornell Graduate School, it is expected that a final tally would maintain the majority “ no ” vote

Unfortunately, two incidents occurred that interfered with Cornell graduate employees’ right to vote in a fair election On the eve of the election, Cornell’s Senior Vice Provost and Graduate School Dean Barbara Knuth sent an email to all graduate students that linked union negotiated

As students at Cornell, we are bound by the mundane, yet special details of ever yday life in Ithaca The drunken freshman nights ordering Nasties chicken tenders, the Goldwin Smith lectures in 95 degree August afternoons, the hopelessness of trudging up Libe slope in L L Bean duck boots these are dues every Cornellian needs to pay to receive their diplomas However, the one fundamental, central bond that bring us together as a community is the fact that all of us were rejected from Har vard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford And while we ’ re at it probably Columbia, MIT and UChicago This principal truth the Cornell Inferiority Complex is the essence of the campus ’ heartbeat, and without it, our identity as an institution would forever be lost

It might all be different if the Cornell Inferiority Complex were a chip on the shoulder, à la Tom Brady, propelling us to post-graduation greatness and unparalleled success However, at some point, we have to come to terms with the fact that as much as we love Bill Nye, he just doesn’t really cut it along the likes of Obama, Zuckerberg or even well, Donald In fact, there’s really no point playing the alumni name-drop game with other Ivy League kids It’s like playing Pokemon cards in the playground, and while the other kids are throwing down Charizard and Dragonite, we ’ re sitting in the corner

benefits to the possibility of “reduced numbers of graduate students at Cornell ” This email by Dean Knuth constituted a threat that a vote for the union could lead to future cutbacks in the graduate program On the first day of the election, Dean Knuth sent a second email informing graduate students of new insurance benefits Announcing new benefits close to the time of an election to influence employees to vote against union representation interferes with voters ’ free choice

Following the election, 32 ILR faculty signed a letter, published in the Cornell Daily Sun, expressing deep concern about Dean Knuth’s coercive actions This ILR faculty letter stated, “In raising our concerns about Dean Knuth’s conduct, we draw on our expertise and experience in the field of labor law, labor relations and labor rights ” As the letter explained, “Each message [by Dean Knuth], by itself, was coercive But together, they delivered a ‘ one-two punch’ to remind the graduate students that Cornell holds the ultimate power to give and to take away ”

In writing to you today, we again draw on our expertise and experience as ILR faculty to urge Cornell to take action to remedy this situation Dean Knuth’s coercive conduct interfered with graduate employees’ ability to freely exercise

twiddling with our Psyduck Don’t get me wrong, Psyduck is a great pokemon but we have to accept that Psyduck really has no place in the ring with Bill Gates or Warren Buffett

Furthermore, let’s address our collective embrace of Andy Bernard, the meme of NBC’s The Office Like a ritual, pre-frosh set Facebook cover photos every March to the same screen cap of the famous Andy Bernard “Cornell, have you ever heard of it?” scene Though it is objectively cool that our school played a semi-prominent role in what is objectively the best sitcom of the 21st century, we conveniently ignore the fact that Andy Bernard is a caricature of the simple-minded, silver-spooned brat who breathes mediocrity I promise you, if you knew a Andy Bernard in real life, you would do your best to disassociate yourself with not only him, but any organization he may be tangentially related to But because the list of Cornell folk heroes is short, we are relegated to having Andy

their rights to choose whether to be represented by the CGSU We urge you to take action to right this wrong

As explained on the Cornell Graduate School website, the Cornell administration and the CGSU have been negotiating for an agreement to hold a second election if CGSU chooses to file another election petition We commend Cornell for engaging in these negotiations and urge you to reach a mutually agreeable plan with the CGSU for a second election, collective bargaining if the union is elected, and implementation of any collective bargaining agreement reached Further, we urge Cornell to agree to honor this plan regardless of any change that may occur in the National Labor Relations Board’s Columbia University precedent that graduate assistants are employees under the National Labor Relations Act By choosing this path, Cornell would follow the highest ethical standards in labor relations by respecting graduate employees’ freedom of association and choices concerning unionization This was the path taken by New York University in 2013, when it voluntarily recognized and entered a collective bargaining agreement with a union of graduate assistants prior to the NLRB’s decision in Columbia University We believe that Cornell should do no less

Bernard as our token symbol of school pride

There is no doubt that the Cornell Inferiority Complex will live with us beyond graduation We will have job interviews in the future where we murmur “fuck” under our breaths when we find out the kid going after us went to Yale In Conan O’Brien’s 2011 commencement speech at Dartmouth, he compared the Ivy Leagues, proclaiming, “if Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are [the] self-involved, vain, name-dropping older brothers, [Dartmouth is] the cool, sexually confident, lacrosse playing younger sibling who knows how to throw a party and looks good in a down vest Brown, of course, is [the] lesbian sister who never leaves her room And Penn, Columbia and Cornell well, frankly, who gives a shit ” Well, despite all of this, I find that two weeks into my third year here, I give a shit Cornell has a funny way of making you find comfort and bliss in its pitiful misery

Shithica is my home, and just like only I can pick on my little brother, those ostentatious shits in Cambridge or New Haven have no right attacking my school Because I am damn proud of the fact that we have the world’s best hotel school, and you know what? they serve some MEAN burritos for lunch When I hear the Alma Mater ringing through the Arts Quad, I feel a sense of nationalistic pride that I feel only for the Apollo 11 moon landing and the South Korean speed skating team RBG will forever be the greatest Supreme Court justice of all time, and actually scratch what I said before Bill Nye is fucking awesome So the next time you read another email from Denice A Cassaro, let the spirit of Ezra flow through you because it is something that only we will ever share Hail, all hail, Cornell

In light of this week’s career fair, resumés have undoubtedly been on all our minds And as we ’ ve all been updating our special skills sections, a lot of us are also probably wondering about the surefire ways to impress potential employers

I’m not sure I can help you much with that, but when it comes to impressing others, I have found that one of the best ways to do so is by getting down on your knees (and I don’t mean begging, because that’s just not sexy in most cases) Seriously, knowing your way around a guy ’ s cock is a skill that’s in high demand and will never go out of style Few things will make a guy go crazier than a pro taking care of his bad boy Of course, I don’t have a doctorate in fellatio or anything (although if that were a thing, I’d be pretty close to getting my diploma by now), but over the years I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks that have never failed me

Here’s how to give mind-blowing head:

1. Let your tongue travel every now and then

It’s easy to get lost in the repetitive up and down of things and completely forget that you even have a tongue that can do truly amazing things Of course, it would be pretty weird (and incredibly difficult) if you were just constantly moving your tongue all over the place What I like to do is occasionally let my tongue glide along, gently applying a little pressure And every now and then, I’ll switch it up a bit and trace the head instead It makes them go wild, trust me

Lo | Bananas and Cream

2 Deep diving

This can be a bit problematic, especially if you have a gag reflex like me But if you can handle it, it’s impossible to go wrong with taking in more And if that’s too hard for you at the moment, take comfort in the fact that practice really does make perfect

3 Slow it down and speed it up

Changes in rhythm are definitely key for all oral sex remember that, boys It might seem like you should be going pretty fast at all times, especially if you ’ ve ever watched a guy take care of himself, but sometimes slowing down is the right move Believe me, no one will hate you for making their pleasure last longer, so slow down and savor it

4. Swallow / Get drizzled

I know this might not be your thing and by all means if it’s not, don’t do it But if you ’ re like me and you love the thought of swallowing or getting showered in cum, then there’s absolutely no reason you should be skipping out on this It’s a huge turn-on for some guys and it simply makes for the perfect ending Plus, if you swallow, less of a mess means more cuddling and less cleaning

5. Don’t wait for him to ask you

Taking initiative is incredibly sexy I cannot stress this

enough Guys absolutely love it when you go for their cock first, without them having to ask you to do it I mean, having to ask someone to go down on you just takes some of the sexiness out of it, you know? Plus there’s almost no risk when it comes to doing this, because who would turn down a blow job?

6. Pretend like it’s the most delicious popsicle you’ve ever tasted

I know, this is kind of ridiculous, but I’m serious I don’t know about you, but I get real hot and bothered when my man is all over me in a state of flustered desperation Do the same to his dick and he’ll love you for it

7 Enjoy it

Sexual experiences are always the most fun when both people are enjoying them So then this is probably the best thing you can do while giving head: truly enjoy it Don’t think of it as a chore and definitely don’t do it just to get it over with Take your time, make him uncomfortably aroused, drive him wild, explore every inch of him and make sure he knows you ’ re loving every second of it

For the Love of Movies

Coming this fall to Cornell Cinema

BY NICK SMITH Sun Staff Writer

There was nothing I loved more as a kid than driving five minutes up the road to an AMC theater with my mom, waiting in line at the massive concession bar and finishing my extra-large popcorn with extra butter during the previews Sometimes we’d treat ourselves and drive 15 whole minutes to a Regal with the nice reclining leather seats So why, if I loved going to the movies so much, had I never been to Cornell Cinema?

Last week I sauntered into the basement of Willard Straight to talk with Cornell Cinema manager Doug McLaren I didn’t lie to him I’d never ventured below the Ivy Room, so he graciously showed me around There’s no massive concession bar No reclining, leather seats There’s a lone self-serve Keurig coffee machine in a corner of the small lobby area for those who fancy a hot drink with their feature The popcorn machine occupies a good chunk of the small snack counter set just across from the old, wooden door into the Cinema’s single theater

The theater itself was built in 1927 and that age shows in some places “Dilapidated” would be far too harsh a word, but it’s not hard to imagine some uppity person turning up their nose and timidly calling it “homey ” The seats aren ’ t uncomfortable, but resemble things you’d find in a lecture hall more than what you might expect from a movie theater

The Cinema seats 304 people, with 40 of those seats on the second floor balcony

While Cornell Cinema doesn’t have the cookie cutter “luxury” of the AMCs and Regals of the world, what it does have is a whole lot of heart

The instant I stumbled into McLaren’s cluttered office, I could tell he eats, sleeps and breathes cinema Boxes of posters are scattered around the floor Fliers, lists and photos cover almost everything else

As he and I got into our conversation, any apprehensions about the quality of the production he and his staff of twenty-some students are putting on in that basement were quickly put to rest

I’ve often had trouble with places that show arthousetype flicks I always left the one in my town feeling like I wasn ’ t up to snuff That’s why I’ve always stuck to more mainstream films (pretty sure I’ve already called dibs on

BY LORENZO BENITEZ Sun Staff Writer

It has been nearly two years since the reformation of LCD Soundsystem, the Brooklyn-based dance-punk band led by James Murphy, critically- and commercially-rewarded for their searching, yet f u n n y, l y r i c s a n d d e n s e , m e s m e r i z i n g beats After announcing their return in the wake of a five-year hiatus begun by an aggressively-momentous farewell concert

reviewing Fast & Furious 12) However, McLaren and company are actively trying to dispel that “holier-thanthou” vibe some theaters can give off

McLaren described seeing a movie at Cornell Cinema as “like going to a friend’s apartment, ” and it’s easy to see why Some of Cornell Cinema’s offerings are about as niche as you’ll find anywhere but there’s never the expectation that you the viewer will know anything about the film, or anything about film in general

And that’s right there is the special thing about Cornell Cinema No one working there will ever foist their mastery of cinematic jargon over you When asked about why he does what he does, McLaren simply answered: “ to foster an appreciation for film ” Like all of his employees, McLaren’s got an honest-to-goodness love of film in his bones

Every film the Cinema plays is meticulously chosen, not for profit but because their student advisory board hopes that someone, somewhere at Cornell might appreciate it A good portion of the movies they’ll be showing this year come with some kind of introduction so that everyone who walks through the theater’s doors can jump right in

And they’ve just about everything a movie goer could want this fall If it’s big-name blockbuster you want, they’ve got you covered with Wonder Woman (this weekend), Spiderman: Homecoming (Oct 13 and 14) and Dunkirk (Nov 10 and 11) They’ve got special series on heists (from Le Cercle Rouge to Baby Driver), ghosts (A Ghost Story, starring Casey Affleck) and a showcase of their new 3-D film capabilities (with flicks like Dial M for Murder and Gravity, which is breathtaking in 3-D) They’ve got a plethora of filmmakers coming to the theater throughout the semester to offer introduction and answer questions about their films They’ve even got a couple of delightful Halloween themed movie events!

at Madison Square Garden, Murphy and his outfit quickly announced a series of high-profile festival appearances, includi n g h e a d l i n

announced that a new album was in the works

A lot of time has now passed since the a l b u m w a s p r o m i s e d A t a n L C D

Soundsystem concert I went to in June in their Brooklyn backyard, I couldn’t help but sense an increasing collective impatience among fans especially after LCD had made such a fuss in 2011 about their dissolution being permanent As much as we may gladly re-experience the somber, yet danceable, melancholy of LCD’s greatest triumphs Sound of Silver (2007) and This is Happening (2010) a lot has happened in seven years And for those who, like me, can ’ t imagine the development of their own taste without acknowledging the influence of Talking Heads, New Order and David Bowie, there is m u c h t o b e e x c i t e d a b o u t L C D

Soundsystem’s latest, American Dream, marks a worthwhile return-to-form by the l e a d i n g c o n

f these virtuosic figures Like all their prior albums, American Dream features few songs with radiofriendly runtimes Opening with luscious,

But when I asked McLaren what he was most excited about, he answered with a word I’d never heard before: “Koyaanisqatsi ” The 1982 non-verbal art film was directed by Godfrey Reggio with music from Philip Glass, who also composed the scores of The Truman Show (starring Jim Carrey) and The Hours (with Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman) On Friday, November 3, Glass is coming to Bailey Hall with the Philip Glass Ensemble to perform Koyaanisqatsi’s soundtrack live alongside a screaming of the film in Koyaanisqatsi Live!

Just the breadth of what Cornell Cinema is putting on this semester is staggering, not to mention cheap! The Cinema typically screams films Wednesday through Sunday night and tickets are typically only $5 50 It’s also about as close to home as you can get

So, Cornell Cinema might not be the biggest or the nicest theater you can find, but it’s packed to the doors with soul and it’s got a little something for everyone, regardless of prior cinematic knowledge And yeah, that snob from earlier might still call it “homey,” but I’m sure Mr McLaren would take that as a compliment

pop-y synthesizers over which we hear Murphy ethereal pleas to an undefined lover, the album’s first song, “oh baby,” teases our attention with a kinetic, but tempered, melody that seamlessly eases into “other voices,” a faster and funkier track about the deadening mundanity of routine that sounds like it could’ve been ripped straight from Talking Heads masterpiece Remain in Light As the track’s harmonious, fast percussions accelerate m i d - s o n g , t h e m o n o t o n o u s , f e m i n i n e t a u n t s i n t e r s p e r s i n g 2 0 0 8 ’ s “ G e t Innocuous” re-appear, provided by LCD’s Nancy Whang They announce: “ This is what’s happening and it’s freaking you out ” Since This is Happening, comparat i v e l y c e l e b r a t o r y i n i t s a t t i t u d e , t h e promises of late-stage American capitalism have continued to be unmasked for their emptiness, and the senselessness of o u r e x p e r i e n c e s o n t h i s d y i n g p l a n e t prompt her to ask: “ Who can you trust? And who are your friends?” Murphy himself is now 47 years old, making it necessar y for me to occasionally remind myself that he’s getting old Knowing this should prepare listeners for the much darker, less m i r t h f u l L C D S o u n d s y s t e m t h a t h a s returned just as cognizant of our earthly insignificance, except now even more terrified by it

Continuing with this angst, Murphy reflects, in “i used to, ” on how in spite all in the world that is “ wrong [he] still tr[ies] to wake up ” Perhaps because it is less-appealing for its repetitiveness, we soon return to the David-Byrne-head-

space in “change yr mind,” at a slower, groggier tempo This is all for good reason, as the album’s most power ful song, “how do you sleep?,” a nine-minute piece propelled from star t to finish by tribal dr ums, defined by its raw anger and a l m o s t - d e f i n i t e l y n a m e d a f t e r a Jo h n Lennon song lambasting Paul McCar tney in the wake of their creative separation I’m not as familiar with the details of Murphy’s spat with the former collaborator who’s the subject of the song as whoever at Pitchfork is paid to monitor the lives of our favorite ar tists, but if “dance y r s e l f c l e a n , ” t h e f u n n y, e c s t a t i c a n d infectious opener of This is Happening, is LCD at their most optimistic, “how do you sleep?,” with a similarly epic r untime, represents the group at their most desolate U l t i m

e l y, w i t h Am

i c a n D re a m , LCD Soundsystem disproves their outdatedness, arriving with an album that, while not necessarily their most sonicallypioneering or ambitious, is nonetheless a ver y welcome return-to-form for a band w h o s e t h re e a l b u m s t o - d a t e a re e a c h arguably among the centur y ’ s best In LC D ’ s 2 0 1 0 s o n g , “ Ho m e , ” Mu r p h y, referring to one of those momentous parties marking, say, the end of a semester, happily sings “and if it’s crowded, all the better ” I say the same of their discography

The Minions of Madness:

An interview with Brett Middleton

Minions are everywhere You know them

Those yellow things They are cute, they are corporate, they are a bit annoying Beloved by children and the elderly, Minions can appear in any context, constantly being cross promoted it is totally unnecessary to watch the Minions movie (Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin, 2015 – not the characters’ first iteration, but the definitive text) to experience Minions as a franchise But what if you did watch that movie?

What if you watched it every day?

Enter Toronto-based folk punk musician Brett Middleton Between gigs with his band Former Gang Members, Brett has been livestreaming himself watching all 90 minutes of the Minions movie on a daily basis

I don’t see myself gaining anything Maybe I’m learning how strong I can be And persistent What do you mean by strength?

Look: how many people like to watch their favorite movie every day for two weeks? I feel like there’s something in watching something that you aren ’ t a fan of at all That isn’t necessarily building character, but it’s showing how much I can put myself through It’s a strength in itself

Who’s your favorite Minion?

C atalys t Strin g Quartet – Septe mb er 9

Occasionally some of his friends join him, but for the most part Brett is alone on this journey Be aware, dear reader: I’ve known Middleton since high school, and he has always impressed me as a clever performer with a knack for thinking of a funny, offthe-cuff turn of phrase that becomes something greater once actually said So it is with the Minions marathon

What began as a joke has evolved into a bleak performance art of late capitalism and the limits of patience

Two weeks into his quest, I spoke to Brett about his time with the minions

Let ’ s get down to business. Why Minions? Why are you doing this?

I’ve seen Minions everywhere, and I’ve never seen

Despicable Me or anything They’ve just become such an absurd cultural phenomenon! It’s always just enraged me So I thought it would be funny to watch Minions every day for as long as I could It started off funny, like “oh yeah, this guy watches Minions every day ” But now it’s becoming something totally different than I thought it would be

How so? How has Minions changed in your time?

I thought it would be like “haha! This guy watches Minions every day That’s hilarious ” But it’s slowly starting to break me? And now every day you ’ re basically seeing me lose a bit of hope for the world

I see. So, you ’ re at two weeks now, right?

Yeah

How long do you think you can keep this up?

I don’t know Maybe a month

You still feel Minions is a totally cynical thing, then

You’re not gaining anything from this experience?

CBob Easy He’s the childish one, he’s so innocent I was asking my friend Alex the same thing, and he said it’s so easy to say Bob is your favorite, because the movie paints him as the most perfect minion His only flaw is ignorance

Who’s the worst minion?

Stuart Ugh He’s the worst He’s just so full of himself He does nothing worthwhile to add to what the minions are trying to accomplish I think I see a bit of myself in him, because he wants to be cool I think the projection there is why I don’t like him

Have you made any discoveries over the past two weeks?

About yourself or the Minions mythos

Yeah I’ve been trying to get something out of this movie, and most of the time it’s just me watching it, but through my own mind and that of my guests I’ve come up with some theories Are the Minions God’s angels on earth? Is the movie some sort of allegory? Is the proletariat and the bourgeoisie What is the anatomy of the minions? To be honest, I haven’t learned much about myself

Aside from your Minions exploits, you ’ re also in a band called Former Gang Members

Yes As an artist, I feel that I like to create Music is just one of the things I like to do, as well as writing But I feel like this project is somehow some sort of art I thought it was going to be a comedy thing And now it’s more introspective I’m seeing how frail a human being is Middleton’s Minions livestreams can be seen on his facebook page, “Beans Middleton ”

On Enthnomusicology and Listening

ornell’s Department of Music is an institution so wonderfully varied in its scope that one must step back from it occasionally and ponder the vastness of the thing Once, in the middle of a piano lesson during my freshman year, before I even considered myself a real member of the department, my instructor hilariously described to me this great divide “On one half, it’s like 1750 all over again ‘Alright everyone, let us put on our pantaloons, sit down and play our harpsichords!’ Meanwhile, on the other side of the rift, people are busy questioning whether ‘music’ even exists ‘ What is music? Is sound an object, or is it an entity? What is the difference between an object and an entity, anyway?’” I am fairly sure that I have experienced both sides of this aisle in only my first two years here Last fall I took a music theory course where, at least once a week in section, I was expected to improvise a continuo line on harpsichord in the relevant 18th century style In the spring, I took an elective dealing with music and nature and we had a class devoted to the aforementioned question of sound objects and entities (and afterwards I am still not really sure if music does indeed exist)

near the middle of this curricular rift, particularly in the realm of ethnomusicology Musicology might be broadly defined as the study of music and its place within a given culture, including its history, how it is used or appreciated and, of course, who is listening to it The ethno portion of the word is a somewhat antiquated prefix used by Western scholars to imply the study of music cultures around the world, largely in non-Western regions Research in ethnomusicology stems from problematic beginnings, when Western

The world has led me to become rather wary of polar extremities of any such variety and so in my attempt to avoid them I have carved out my interests in a place somewhere

European anthropologists would travel to far-Eastern regions or areas in the Americas and describe various cultures as being inferior in intellectual and artistic substance to that of their own Unfortunately, this colonizer-savior mentality persisted throughout the 19th century and existed well into the 20th century It was only as recently as the 1980s that ethnomusicologists began to consider the bias and weight of their discipline as a whole Research processes were altered and became more inclusive and relative, as did

the language used in descriptions of different cultures

In my broad range of undergraduate studies, ethnomusicology seems to be a fitting discipline to concentrate some of my academic thought I feel as though throughout my entire life, I have been listening to music that does not necessarily belong to my own personal culture My mother was born and raised in the incredibly diverse Jamaica, Queens, where many of her friends were not white Thus, she grew up listening to music by black artists in genres like soul, disco and eventually hip-hop music, as it emerged from New York in the later 1970s Naturally, from the time I began to listen to music, this appreciation for such artists was instilled in me When I was growing up and throughout high school, none of my white friends listened to music by black artists outside the realm of popular music (think of white boys at parties jumping around to Kanye West’s “Gold Digger”) It was not until I started college and began to think about music as being a powerful societal tool did the problematic nature of this virtual segregation of taste become apparent I have had so many conversations with white people who label whole sectors of music as being extreme or ridiculous and who judge black artists on completely different standards than they do white artists (yeah, Kanye is an eccentric person, but so was every white rock artist, ever) These unchecked opinions can not be considered anything less than microaggressions

If someone thinks Fear of a Black Planet or Straight Outta Compton is too extreme, how are they supposed to intelligently confront relevant political happenings, like police brutality or an oppressive prison-industrial complex or the Black Lives Matter movement?

Being a student of ethnomusicology often feels somewhat suspect, given the discipline’s troubled and outright racist beginnings I sometimes worry if, for example, it is right for me to take a course on African diasporic music, led by a white professor, or whether white musicologists are unfairly thriving on the musical practices of other cultures The truth is, white people can never presume to know what it is like to be a minority citizen in the United States and we can never claim to possess the genres that stemmed from diasporic cultures, such as jazz, rock or hip-hop Yet, what we can not fully understand we can attempt to sympathize with and, in this light, it is our duty to listen to the music of marginalized voices

Ethnomusicology certainly fulfills this duty

Finally, as I finished this column, Donald Trump announced the termination of the DACA policy I wonder, what will be the resulting extent of the loss of diverse artistic voices in the United States, especially in the realm of music?

H I T N E Y F A R B E R

Staff writer Mary Barger sat down with Cornell womens soccer defender and captain Whitney Farber and talked about everything from getting to lead the team her senior year to her favorite place to grab a bite on campus

1 What’s the best part about being on the women ’ s soccer team?

Getting to do something you love with your best friends Everyday, you ’ re going out there on the field, and even if you ’ re having a bad day, you ’ re working with the people who are your best friends If you have their back, they have yours, no matter what, and you know that That’s a really awesome bond that you get from playing a college sport that you don’t necessarily get in a different environment On the field, it’s like you ’ re playing for each-other, and that’s really how it is

2 Why did you choose Cornell? God, it feels like a long time ago now I came to the camp at Cornell [on] April 21 of my [high school] junior year, I remember it so clearly It was snowing, and I was like, “Why would I ever come here? It’s snowing, and it’s the end of April ” But I went on a tour, and just kind of fell in love with the campus I loved the opportunities, that there’s seven different colleges, that you could take any class you could possibly want to take here That was a huge draw for me because I was looking at a lot of smaller schools, some other Ivies and some NESCAC schools Cornell just has so many options to study and different people to meet, which was really cool I loved that The weather hasn’t been well, it’s been bad, but not that bad, so it’s okay

3 After sustaining some injuries the last couple years, how does it feel

to be back and leading the team?

The two injuries that I’ve had here have been pretty major and will continue to impact me, but it’s really nice to feel like I can go on the field and be the player that I used to be It was a challenge, obviously, those few years just sitting out and going through two major surgeries, so that makes a big difference But it’s great to be back, be leading the team, and having been in those circumstances I can really help talk to the girls who are going through similar things It really helps in connecting and being a leader on the team, too I’m excited to have a hopefully injury-free season

4. Do you have any pre-game rituals?

As a younger player, I used to b e s u p e r s u p e r s t i t i o u s Everything had to be perfect, and I had to do the exact same thing After I got injured I kind of forgot about some of them, but there are some newer ones that have formed Every time I go on the field, I jump three times, like, for no reason, but I always do it, and it has to be three times I do a specific warm up before I step on the field, all the time, and I have lucky spandex that I always wear, but, you know, that’s to be expected

5. What is one thing most people don’t know about you?

My best friends know this, but most people don’t because it doesn’t really make that much sense I am, like, super clumsy I am unbelievably clumsy I trip over my own feet walking all the time It’s really a challenge, it really is People think it’s insane because it’s like, ‘You play soccer in college, how are you that uncoordinated and clumsy?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know I don’t know ’

6 What is your favorite meal on campus?

Well, no dining halls Definitely not the dining halls

So not Okenshields?

I’ve been to Okenshields once in my time here and won ’ t ever go back I would say, well, Trill salads used to be great, but now the selfserve thing is just not an option Mac’s sandwiches are really good, that’s a good one, and then Trill breakfast burritos also great Those are my two

7. Do you have a favorite song or artist?

I don’t love country music, but I love Zac Brown Band Specifically, ‘Knee Deep,’ because I listen to it a lot during finals and I’m like, ‘I wish I was on the beach doing that instead of studying for finals ’ But yeah, that would probably be it My friends would say that about me, too I can listen to that song on repeat for a while it’s a problem

8 What advice would you give to the freshmen on your team?

If things don’t go your way, you can ’ t get down Everybody encounters adversity in their career, and I think the most important part of being successful and getting through that is just staying positive

You have these teammates who are here for you, it’s like a family, and everyone ’ s been through something similar No matter what, you have someone you can relate to, so don’t be afraid to ask upperclassmen, and use the experiences that they’ve learned from to help you, and adapt that to you own situation

9 How do you see soccer impacting your life after college?

I think I have gained so many valuable leadership experiences, and just all the cliché stuff that everyone says you get from college sports on your resume But it’s really true There is something to be said about being a college athlete There’s a mindset, and a way of life, and I think just the will to fight through anything, fight through adversity And leading different groups of people is something I will take with me, and the experiences I’ve had here there’s nothing like going out on game-day and playing against an Ivy It’s really fun Those are memories that are important to me, and things that I’ll want to share with the people who are important to me in my life

10. What is your favorite memory from your time at Cornell?

Well, soccer-wise, it was probably last year when we tied Harvard It wasn ’ t at Cornell, but it was a really big game for us Harvard won the Ivy League, and we’d had a rough game the game before, so going to Harvard and tying them on their home field was really awesome It went into double overtime It was just one of those games that reminds you of why you play soccer, you know, why you still do this

Golfers Hungry for Ivy Title

By CHARLES COTTON Sun Assistant Sports Editor

It was April 23 and the Cornell golf team had a chance to do something special Just two strokes behind first place, the Red entered the final round of Ivy Championships in Greenwich, Connecticut seeking its first conference title in program history

But that Sunday was not their day, as the team ’ s starting five faltered and fell 15 back of eventual champion-Harvard, still managing to come away with second

But this time around, second will not be good enough

“It’s pretty much win the Ivy’s or bust,” said senior captain Mike Graboyes, last year ’ s individual champion at the annual league-wide tournament

“Our expectation this year is to win the Ivy League Championship,” junior Jack Cen told The Sun “We came very close last year, only two strokes behind going into the last day, and under the leadership of our new captains, I feel very confident about our chances of winning this year ”

While winning Ivy’s is clearly the team ’ s ultimate goal, the golf season is divided into a fall and spring portion of the schedule, with a lengthy five-month break in between What’s more: the group ’ s results in the four fall events have no bearing on what happens in the spring

So when action gets under way Sept 9 at Colgate’s Alex Lagowitz Memorial Invitational, the conference tournament will be little more than a spec on the team ’ s radar

Yet the group understands the importance of each of the fall tournaments

“Oh definitely,” Graboyes said when asked if the fall weekends really matters “Last fall, we never placed outside of the top-3 in a tournament it establishes you as a really good team and gives you confidence going into the spring

So obviously we want to do something similar this year where we play really well, we get the starting lineup, and everybody has some confidence going into the spring ”

Graboyes and Cen are both locks for starting spots, but there is still some healthy competition for

the others Sophomore Mike May and senior Chris Troy figure to see the course regularly, but that leaves one more spot

That void left wide open after Graboyes’ brother and last season ’ s scoring leader Luke graduated in the spring will be key for the team to address as the fall season unfolds

Head coach Matt Baughan chose freshman Charlie Dubiel as the team ’ s lone addition, and the Juno Beach-product may be slotted in sooner rather than later

“He’s a really good player, and his game is really mature for a freshman,” Graboyes said of Dubiel

“Getting a mature freshman who has a lot of talent is something that’s going to help this team the whole season ”

In addition to Dubiel, sophomore Jack Casler is a viable option for Baughan Casler earned a spot in four tournaments as a freshman last season and figures only to get better as practices and events start up

Graboyes who competed in the NCAA tournament last season said he cannot wait for his senior season to get underway

“My game feels really good right now The problem is you introduce classes into that You’re not just playing golf all day,” the senior said with a chuckle “But my individual goal is to win every single event ” Given his performance to close out last season, anything is possible

But can it be hard to stay focused out of the gate when spring matches carry more weight?

“I don’t agree with that,” Graboyes said “Of course there’s more emphasis on the outcome of Ivy’s, but as far as mindset and focus going into it, I’d say it’s pretty much the same the whole year ”

So while we ’ re already talking about a tournament that’s more than seven months from now, the team seems like it is comfortable and ready to take things one day at a time

Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt on this one

Cornell Exits Opening Weekend Undefeated at Home

By BENNETT GROSS Sun Staff Writer

Coming into the season with an experienced core of upperclassmen, the Cornell Field Hockey team was expected to compete for an Ivy League crown, and the team got off on the right track by winning each its first two games in nail-biting fashion

In its season-opener on Friday, Cornell (2-0) defeated Ohio 1-0, then just 48-hours later, the Red played an eerily similar game, moving past Bucknell by the same score

“We are thrilled to be 2-0, but we all know that there is plenty for us to work on, ” said head coach Donna Hornibrook “However, I would much rather be working on our issues with two wins, as opposed to starting out slower ” Against the Bobcats (1-2), the Red took an early lead after a goal by junior midfielder Gabby DePetro, the only goal of the game

Both defenses were stingy throughout, and despite a relatively poorly played game, the Red exited its home opener with a narrow margin

In Sunday’s matchup against Bucknell (1-3), where the Red held a fundraising event for the Make-A-Wish foundation, the Red used a similar formula to edge the Bison Junior midfielder Kirsten Pienaar’s second half goal, along with a couple of

clutch saves from sophomore goalkeeper Maddie Henry, clinched Cornell’s second win of the weekend

The Red utilized two goalkeepers in each game, with senior Kelly Johnson starting and Henry taking over for the second half Neither goalie has been significantly challenged yet, as Ohio and Bucknell combined for just four shots on goal in the two games

“We have two starting caliber goalies, and both of them have played extremely well so far,” Hornibrook said “In my opinion, they are the best tandem in the Ivy League ”

Hornibrook hinted that the two will continue to split time for the foreseeable future

“The two goalies have been working really well together, and they have very distinct styles,” Hornibrook said “They have definitely both gained experience during their time here, so we are very happy with how both of them played in the first two games ”

The Red will look to pick up two more wins this weekend, as it travels to Vermont for a matchup with the Catamounts on Saturday Cornell will finish its two-game road stint when it faces Maine on Sunday

“In our next couple of games, we need to focus on our team play and connecting with each other,” said senior captain Sam McIlwrick

Last season, the Red defeated Vermont 41, and while the Red and Black Bears did not meet last year, Cornell was victorious against Maine in 2015 The Catamounts finished the 2016 campaign with no conference victories, while the Black Bears, who finished league play 6-2, were knocked out of the America East Tournament by the University of California, Berkeley

“We are looking forward to playing two more really good teams this weekend,” Hornibrook said “I am hoping that we can continue playing solid defense, and if we can improve the attack side of the ball this weekend, I like our chances ”
