Tech Campus Marks

New Chapter for C.U.

By LOUIS BAUDOIN-LAARMAN

Contributor

NEW YORK All the right elements for a successful ceremony were gathered at the official opening of Cornell’s new Tech Campus on Roosevelt Island in New York City on Wednesday: a brand new campus on a sunny day, enthusiastic new students, and optimistic academics, former mayors, and governor “Cornell Tech, welcome to New York,” said New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, while New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio praised “the bigger and bigger role that Cornell is playing in New York City ”

“This is the single biggest event at Cornell that I’ve witnessed in 40 years, ” said Chair of the Board of Trustees Robert

Harrison ’76

Facing an audience of several hundred members, all key actors of the new campus came together to celebrate and praise the completion of the first phase of a project intended to “bring together academia and industry to create pioneering leaders and transformational new research ”

“Starting a campus from scratch is like

surfing a big wave, ” Cornell Tech Dean and ceremony moderator Daniel Huttenlocher said, summarizing the work

accomplished since the University won former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration’s applied sciences competition for a new campus in 2011 “It’s exhilarating, but can be hard to keep up with ” Indeed, since Cornell Tech’s first days within the Google offices in Chelsea, hun-

dreds of millions of dollars were spent to create a sustainable and modern campus on the 12 acres of public land leased by the city on Roosevelt Island, a tiny sliver of land in the middle of the East River

Collaboration as a Driving Force

“Cornell Tech is the result of collaboration,” former Mayor Mike Bloomberg stressed

The campus is the fruit of a public-private partnership, as well as one between Cornell and the Technion Israel Institute

Cornell Tech to Spur Innovation

By JOSH GIRSKY Sun Managing Editor

NEW YORK In 2011, Cornell President David Skor ton stood beside Ne w York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as he announced a new vision for Roosevelt Island

“I think it’s fair to say that today will be remem-

bered as a defining moment, ” Bloomberg said on Dec 18, 2011 “In a word, this project is going to be transformative ” Now, six years and hundreds of millions of dollars after Cornell won the applied sciences competition, that vision has come to fruition with the official opening of Cornell Tech

The project is not even halfway complete the final buildout of the campus is not expected to be finished until 2043 But for the first time, students are taking classes on the island, and the campus was officially dedicated on Wednesday Cornell Tech Founding Dean Daniel

Huttenlocher, a board member of Amazon with experience in both academia and private industry, recently gave The Sun and several media members a tour of the new campus, along with Cornell Tech’s Director of Capital Projects Andrew Winter

Cornell Tech Campus to Support Student Startups

of Technology, embodied by the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute on the campus

More impor tantly for the future of Cornell Tech, the campus is meant to foster collaboration between academics and businesses The aptly named Bridge building will act partially as an incubator and collaborative space where students will be able to develop their own startups

Since 2014, Cornell Tech has given birth to 38 startups, 98 percent of which are now based in New York City, and the City estimates that hundreds more could

come into existence, generating $23 billion in economic activity over 35 years

For David Cheng MBA ’17, co-founder of Speech Up, a Cornell created mobile app that gamifies speech therapy for children, Roosevelt Island means great opportunities to perfect his product “There’s nothing better than being in a place where there are children, we ’ ve already partnered with local families here ”

Beyond the important role of entrepreneurship in academia, Cornell Tech also seeks to foster a fusion of disciplines within academia Ari Yannakogeorgos, a law student from Boston, used to work in law in a venture company,

then applied for the new law school on Roosevelt Island “I wanted to do something where I could move from traditional law and do something more technologically focused because I wanted to work with cutting edge companies,” he said

Controversy Over Technion

But despite the beautiful buildings and ceremony, not all Cornell students approve of Cornell Tech

Student groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine have decried the new campus ’ main partner Technion, whose president Peretz Lavie was present at the ceremony Wednesday, due to its partnerships with military companies and collaboration with the Israeli Defense Forces in Israel

“SJP will continue to oppose the partnership in all its forms,” said SJP member Piragash Swargalonathan ’19 “I don’t think there is a way to justify it, unless you can justify what’s happening in Palestine ”

While opposition to Cornell Tech’s partnership was more widespread at the beginning stages of the campus, fewer students are engaged in the matter at the time of the campus ’ opening “I’m not really sure how Technion fits into the campus here,” said Ari Yannakogeorgos

In fact, no military research on Roosevelt Island has been announced at the moment

For now, Cornell Tech focuses on the future, with a campus built seven feet above the 100 years flood plain, looking at the United Nations from across the river

aco Tuesday: Just Say No

remember a lot from freshman year: 1

a m Nasties, a cappella concerts at Balch Arch, free food if you knew where and when to look There was so much to love, and I certainly took it all in I didn’t care how dumb I looked wearing my I D on a lanyard or strolling through Collegetown in a group of 40 I was living my best life and experiencing a world I’d hardly imagined Regardless of whether you saw me in the library or on the CKB quad, I was almost always smiling But there was one thing that got me down every now and then, and I’ve waited years to speak my piece about it

Recently I found myself back on my old stomping grounds, behind a line of kids wearing the same free Cornell t-shirt at RPCC dinner When I saw the meal for the day, I was reminded of my qualms with it years ago

Back then, during my freshman year, I’d walk to RPCC every Tuesday afternoon only to find the same spread of beans, rice, ground beef, and tortillas reclining in their warmers like that uncle who always overstays his welcome when he comes to visit I don’t hate tacos far from it Some of my fondest memories from back home involve a good plate of Tex-Mex, with the melted cheese and the marinated meat tumbling out the taco ’ s back end and onto the table In fact, I consider the Mexican restaurants in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, from Joe T Garcia’s to Rosa’s Café, to be my domain, though I acknowledge that when my friends from south of the border tell me I still haven’t tasted the best there is, they’re probably right

But despite this love for tacos, I’m convinced that the widespread culinary practice of dishing out half-hearted “Mexican food” on a weekly basis is degrading to tacos everywhere It turns them into boring filler meals the gustatory equivalent of the throw-away card you put down in Apples to Apples when you don’t have anything clever to play

If I’m going to eat a taco, I want it to be because the dining hall or fraternity chef or restaurant who served it to me was confident that it’d be the right meal for the day, not because they wanted to pay homage to a cliché To serve a taco should mean something And one should only do it when the timing is right

According to the experts, when Mexican migrants began selling tacos in Los Angeles and San Antonio, they weren ’ t just selling food, they were selling Mexico

to Americans too afraid to visit Tacos were a tourist attraction, a culinary journey, a cultural experience Over a century later, they’re just the things we eat on Tuesdays

But I guess that’s to be expected Maybe we call America a melting pot because everything gets watered down and mixed in

I remember sitting at a ceremony in a Zambian village last summer, watching a dance performance by a group of locals on a stage of red dirt When it was over, they turned to a group of Australian high school students who had come to the village to volunteer at a school “Can you show us one of your traditional dances?”

The Australians proceeded to perform the Macarena for us all, complete with scattered sets of mumbles through the lyrics Such is the plight of young western nations; we don’t just occasionally make lackluster references to other cultures our culture is based on these lackluster references It’s tacos on Tuesdays and reggae nights on Wednesdays with white singers who fake Jamaican accents It’s pizza with buffalo chicken and tattoos of Chinese characters that don’t actually say anything meaningful

But this isn’t always wrong There’s a difference between wearing a headdress to a music festival and enjoying a good gyro I can ’ t speak for the Mexican community, but from my conversations with friends in preparation for this piece I’ve gathered that calls for the end of the American taco industry on the basis of cultural appropriation aren ’ t very likely in the near future

After all, if we purged our culture of every reference to other nations, we’d find ourselves with nothing but burger patties and Leave it to Beaver

But for Pete’s sake, if we ’ re going to base our cuisine on the food found in the rest of the world, let’s do it with some integrity Let’s make good tacos and let’s not churn them out on a weekly basis like a low budget sitcom

But change can be a lofty proposition

Last Tuesday night, when a group of North Campus dwellers invited me to eat with them on a guest swipe, I declined Minutes later, as I eased into the parking spot in front of my own house, I could already smell the tacos from afar I asked what was for dinner “Don’t you know what day it is?”

I guess some things you just have to learn to live with

Center, located in Willard Straight Hall I believe the Center is under utilized, and while I spent the first par t of this column talking-the-good-talk, I want to walkthe-good-walk, too: I want to share the ways in which the Women’s Resource Center, through its inextinguishable dedication to intersectional feminism, can help students and their organizations It i s i m p o r t a n t t o p o i n t o u t t h a t t h e Women’s Resource Center does not just ser ve women but, instead, people of all genders They make it felt and known that ever yone is welcome

In uncer tain political times like these, it is cr ucial to take care of ourselves I h o p e b y p

an angr y feminist, but lately I do The anger feels so justified that when it is queried, I falter The question always comes hard and fast It has a side ways smile, and it looks like my friend until it feels so differently

“ What are you? Some type of feminist?”

Feminism isn’t as mainstream as I often foolishly believe I acknowledge how lucky I am to be able to share my vie ws without fear of violence or disadvantage I’m privileged in that I’m able to forget, if even for a moment, that even t h e s i m p l e s t t e n e t s o f e q u a l i t y a re n ’ t regarded as universal values I work to be more cognizant of this privilege ever y day

If the worst I have to face after declaring my intersectional feminism is a fe w angr y emails, I understand that it is my responsibility to keep declaring to declare DeVos’s treatment of Title IX as an utter disgrace; to declare reproductive freedom a human right; to declare that I will stand with my trans brothers and sist e r s a n d m y n o n b i n a r y s i b l i n g s ; t o d e c l a r e t h a t B l a c k L i v e s M a t t e r ; t o declare that we must defend DACA; to declare that feminist issues are human rights issues

So, yes I am some-type-of-feminist an imper fect one but doing my best to better ever y day Whether by offering the ability to take Introduction to Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies, or par ticipate in an activist group, this campus provides many oppor tunities for growth

Lower the Screens for a Minute and Embrace Everyday Mundanity

Ihad a remarkable morning when I was interning in New York this past summer Following the string of commuters into the subway station on a cloudy, drab Thursday, I picked up a copy of AM New York, a free local newspaper I usually make the more sustainable choice of not circulating paper waste around the planet, but the train on the cover intrigued me

When we look up from our screens perhaps risk becoming bored.

"SIGNAL PROBLEMS!” the headline blared, specifying below, “Ancient signal problems still persisting on the 7 train ” I lowered the paper to watch where I was going as I got off the escalator, and strangely, my commute was already in the news

Three tracks, two platforms, countless people, no train New Yorkers, usually stoic and determined to get to places i n m i n i m a l t i m e , l i n e d b o t h p l a t f o r m s h e l p l e s s l y

Ventilation was nonexistent Distress was ever ywhere

Ten minutes later, a train finally and slowly pulled into the middle track, which was sided by two equally crowded platforms I was on the left, peer pressured into track start position The driver only opened the doors on the other

side however, and people flooded in the cars so quickly that the train bounced at the onset of the sudden weight, like a playground rickety bridge Once the doors opened on my side, the train was nearly full, but I managed to slip in, my nose pressed against the door window For the next five stations, only three people braved to squeeze into the car At one stop, a stout man in a purple dress shirt and khakis could not help but look into the train despondently, knowing that he could not fit and nor would the passengers let him tr y to I then heard a slam from outside and ever yone jolted a construction worker had punched the train’s steel body, probably frustrated that he will be late to work It was as dismal as a commute could get Inside, nearly ever yone wielded some sort of device their arms were constrained by the cramped car but their fingers deftly tapped away Many wore headphones as well An old lady smiled as she flipped through pictures of someone ’ s wedding on her phone, escaping to a happier day I was tempted to do so as well my left hand instinctively reached for the soft rubber y material of my phone case in my back pocket Experiencing such an unpleasant commute, a mere snippet of what local media dubbed as the city’s transit “Summer of Hell,” ever yone understandably wanted to be somewhere else For New Yorkers, the 5x7 inch glowing screen was not only a minicomputer, but also a window of escape, escape from the reality that whether they can start their day depends on the efficiency of a centur y-old train signal system in bad repair The headphones they put on only further block out the robotic announcements droning on about how there is a train ahead of us and to maintain vigilance against ter-

rorist threats There is, for once, the illusion of control in their commute, and therefore their lives

Escapism is necessar y sometimes, especially after a tough day But maybe such an accessible form of it has some underlying costs The internet has evolved into a 24hour buffet of information and enter tainment Its propensity to keep updating with new, attractive dishes of content makes it even harder to leave it behind

By being so engorged in being somewhere else, we are missing out on where we presently are, and the opportunity to think, evaluate and learn about ourselves In a recent inter view, Ed Sheeran revealed that he gave up his phone as a New Year’s resolution and if he had not, he would have taken it out immediately after the recording Without his phone, Sheeran pointed out, "I think a lot more Now when I’m waiting for someone, the only thing I can do is think, ‘ cause there’s nothing to stare at ”

When we look up from our screens, we perhaps risk becoming bored But this reprieve from information also allows our brains to rest and become more able to obser ve, appreciate and ask ourselves, “Is this really where I want to be? Am I satisfied with what I’ve done so far? What are some new things I can learn?” For instance, by spending my commute obser ving rather than staring at my phone, I learned that New York City was not the place for me after the summer I needed my trees and open skies

In a society with increasing responsibilities, meetings and stimuli for its members, we should cherish instances of being bored or trapped in unpleasant situations Instead of adding more to our minds, we can reflect on what we already have, even if it’s while queuing in that mundane doctor’s office or suffocating in an overcrowded subway car

Cornell Tech Encourages Interdisciplinary Education, Collaboration

over a dozen CUNY campuses

After working out of the Google Building in Chelsea for the past four years, the administrators showcased the modern buildings, sustainability efforts and real world impacts that exemplify Cornell Tech

Cultivating Digital Technology on and off the Island

Currently about 80 percent of Cornell Tech students are earning masters degrees while the other 20 percent are working toward a Ph D The masters programs include not only STEM subjects such as computer science and electrical and computer engineering but also an MBA program and a law program

There are also currently two programs in connective media and health tech offered through the Jacobs TechnionCornell Institute Cornell’s joint program with the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, which partnered with Cornell on the Tech campus Cornell officials have highlighted the Technion’s role in commercializing new technologies and supporting Israel’s startup economy

The programs on campus emphasize their interdisciplinary character, with buildings designed to foster collaboration

“When you think about the impact that digital technology has had, is having and will have, societally and economically, these are not purely technological questions, they’re not purely business questions, they’re not purely legal questions, they’re not purely ethical and societal questions, they’re a mix of all of those,” Huttenlocher said

Cornell Tech’s curriculum also aims to reach beyond its new front doors

Through students volunteering their time, developing curriculum and staffing conferences, Cornell Tech helps prepare students in New York City public schools to work in the digital economy

In addition, Cornell Tech has partnered with City University of New York to develop the Women in Technology and Entrepreneurship in New York program, which teaches computer science and coding to women at

And the campus ’ intended influence extends beyond work with outside organizations Several startups have been born out of Cornell Tech, and several parts of the campus are designed to help young companies grow

Bridging Industry and Academia

The Bridge which is owned by Forest City Ratner is a place where established companies, growth-stage companies and startups come together with students and faculty to accelerate the commercialization of new technologies

So far, Two Sigma Investments, Citigroup and Ferrero International have all leased space in The Bridge Those companies will occupy the upper floors, while Cornell uses the lower floors for its studio curriculum, as well as research lab space and master student space Forest City anticipates that there will also be retail space on the first floor

All those parts of the building stem from the lobby, which Huttenlocher said is intended to bring them all together

But the Bridge is not the only collaborative innovation hub on Roosevelt Island

The Bloomberg Center

The Emma and Georgina Bloomberg Center, named after Michael Bloomberg’s daughters, is the main academic building on the campus

The ground floor has a cafe and is open to the public during business hours The layout of the floor is open, and the ceiling is covered in artwork from German artist Michael Riedel, who uses text in many of his pieces The ceiling is adorned with zeros and ones, which are the basis of binary code

While the classrooms are on the ground floor and lower level, the upper floors include open layout workspaces There are no private offices, but there are many places for people to meet and collaborate with each other

Huttenlocher highlighted an internal staircase that links the second, third and fourth floor He said that the space was designed in an attempt to prevent students and faculty from splitting apart based on their specific subject of study

One of the private areas that Huttenlocher pointed out was a phone booth on the second floor But unlike phone booths of the past, there are no actual phones

“It’s a Skype booth as much as a phone booth,” Huttenlocher said

The phone booths, as well as the over 100 private spaces designed for quick, unscheduled meetings, are intended to foster innovation and collaboration on campus

But at the end of the day, students will also have private space that is just for them

Home Sweet House

The House is the high rise residential building on campus

With 26 stories, the building will house up to 500 students, as well as a limited number of researchers on the upper floors

While the apartments are rather small a studio is a little more than 400 square feet the amenities on the top floor may be ample compensation

The top floor of the building is public to all residents, and features unobstructed views of the New York City skyline Winters stressed that the decision to have small rooms but plenty of open space was not an accident

“The units themselves are a little bit smaller than a standard apartment might be, and so in order to compensate for that you have these wonderful public spaces in the building,” he said

And the small apartments have a big effect Winters pointed out that the smaller units allow the building to use less energy Decreased energy consumption and increased energy production is a theme of the entire campus

The House was built to passive-house standards, the most rigorous energy-efficiency standards in the world The building is projected to save 882 tons of carbon dioxide per year compared to code buildings, according to The House website

A Push for Sustainability

In fact, the entire campus has taken and will take steps to be energy efficient The Bloomberg Center and The Bridge are both topped with photovoltaic arrays The Bloomberg Center aims to be a net-zero building, meaning that over a 12-month cycle it would generate as much energy as it uses

The “Great Lawn,” as Huttenlocher referred to it, hides about 80 geothermal wells that are set to handle all the heating and cooling needs of The Center

Winters and Huttenlocher both pointed out that although building all of the sustainability infrastructure may be expensive, the decreased energy costs will make the increased price “ a surprisingly small amount, ” Huttenlocher said

Cornell Tech has already led the way in its sustainability initiatives: the House is the largest passive house in the world, and Winters said that given the unprecedented size of the building, the designers faced issues that are now solved for future large passive houses

As the approximately 300 students and 30 faculty members make their way around campus for the first time this fall semester, many expressed hope that Cornell Tech marks a new beginning for education not just for those on Roosevelt Island, but for universities around the world

When you can add Brie cheese, bacon and sautéed mushrooms to your burger and then top it off with chipotle aioli, it’s almost impossible to trust any other burgers It’s like finishing your favorite Netflix series you could start watching a new show or you could go back and watch the whole series over again because it’s just too good That is the BYOB at Ithaca Ale House

and by the positive revie ws of L u n a ’ s d e s s e r t s b e f o r e B a k e d existed, I decided to tr y Baked myself and invited my apar tment mates to dig in as well

The Baked website was easy to follow and orders could be placed quickly A selection of toppings from, M&Ms to fresh berries and hot fudge, can be added to cookies and brownies Pairing options such as milk and flurries are also available, which I thought was brilliant classic

Best Multicultural Burger: Luna Inspired Street Food

It’s one thing to put some random things on a burger (foie gras or arugula) and give it a new flavor or texture But it’s another thing to make the Togarashi Ramen Burger Luna’s takes a regular beef patty and tops it with kimchi, galbi cucumbers and sriracha mayo and then sandwiches it all between a ramen bun This burger is a Korean take on an American staple, and you definitely have to try it to understand the impact of this flavor combination

Best Local Burger: AGAVA

All of these burger places are local, but I’m also referencing the locally derived ingredients Not only is the beef on the Agava Burger from Ithaca farms, but so are all the other ingredients This isn’t just the case for the burgers but for all of AGAVA’s menu items It makes the food taste fresher, and it makes you feel good about supporting local farms with the farm-to-table movement

Best Overall Burger Experience: Ithaca Beer Company

It’s a brewery, it’s a restaurant, it’s an outdoor lounge (with cornhole boards for us Southern folk) and it’s home to the Smokehouse Burger You go outside to the beer garden to have a Hopkist while you wait for your table You take a seat at one of the picnic tables and enjoy the warm Ithaca weather while it lasts for the next couple of days Your table is ready and you sit down and order the Smokehouse Burger even though you absolutely hate pickles of any kind But I’m telling you, the combination of the pickles, chipotle aioli and cheddar cheese on top of a medium-cooked beef patty, combined with the atmosphere of Ithaca Beer Company, led to the best overall burger experience I’ve ever had

Contrar y to my usual impression of take-out desser ts as cold and mushy, these brownies were hot and fresh, with a che wy center

Was it a good deal? $17 99 for half of a brownie pan seemed slightly overpriced for the average student budget, but considering its por tion and density, this was an acceptable price, but I w o u l d d e f i n i t e l y r e t u r n m o r e often if the price were slightly lower Overall, Baked has lived u p t o m y e x p e c t a t i o n s o f a desser t

Two Do o r C in e m a C l u b: C o n c e r t P r e v i e w

BY RAMYA YANDAVA Sun Contributor

We’re all probably familiar with the stor y of Shakespeare’s Hamlet – Hamlet, prince of Denmark, seeks revenge on his uncle at the behest of his father’s ghost, all the while finding the time to talk to skulls, wallow in existential dread, etc etc However, this 1921 German silent film adaptation turns the familiar tale on its head, doing so with a ver y interesting proposition from Dr Edward P Vining’s 1881 book: Hamlet is actually a woman

This not actually as unusual as it might seem; there is, in fact, a long and rich tradition of female Hamlets After Charles II gave permission for women to a c t , t h e f i r s t w o m a n t o a p p e a r i n a Shakespeare play did so in 1660, and soon after wards, women began playing not only women ’ s roles but also those of men In the 1770s, famed Welsh-born actress Sarah Siddons became the first known woman to play Hamlet, but fearing London critics, took on this role only in provincial theaters In 1796, Elizabeth Powell played Hamlet in London’s Dr ur y

Lane, and in 1820, Sarah Bar tley became

Charlotte Cushman was another notable

Bernhardt continued the tradition at the beginning of the 20th centur y Asta Nielsen, the famed Danish actress and one of the first international movie stars, sets herself apar t from this crowd of “ trouser roles” quickly, however at the beginning of the film (which Nielsen formed her own production company to make), it is revealed that her Hamlet was born female, then subsequently disguised as male by Queen Ger tr ude in order to preser ve the family lineage The unique nature of these circumstances is most prominent in scenes between Hamlet and Horatio, where we see Hamlet’s secret love for Horatio and the conflict that this

h

Ophelia Also notable is the por trayal of Queen Ger tr ude as a scheming queen who, for example, administers the poison she will drink later by accident

Overall, the main drawback in this Hamlet for me is that, due to its nature as a silent film, it cannot make use of much of Shakespeare’s original dialogue,

which limits the film from realizing its full potential and really exploring the consequences that a female Hamlet might face and how Hamlet’s gender identity might impact some of the larger themes in Shakespeare’s play I also found a couple of plot decisions, like the manner of Claudius’ death, to be a bit confusing as to why they were changed from the original play

Never theless, Nielsen manages to take a theor y ultimately derived from reductive, old-fashioned vie ws on gender (i e Hamlet is gentle, indecisive and not ver y willing to fight, ergo, he must be female) and elevates it through the powers of her superb acting Nielsen shines especially in H a m l e t ’ s b r o o d i n g s c e n e s , w h e r e h e r dark, expressive eyes do all the talking I also loved the humor in scenes such as the one in which Hamlet drops her pencil in a lecture and Hamlet and Horatio bump heads going to pick it up, Hamlet eyeing Horatio playfully after wards

The screening will be accompanied by the Filmharmonia Duo, who were commissioned to create a ne w score for the film by the National Galler y of Ar t in Washington, D C The score includes

music composed by three sons of J S Bach The Filmharmonia Duo consists of Michael Tsalka (harpsichord and piano) and Dennis James (organ), who will be joined by Marija Bosnar (me zzo soprano) The Filmharmonia Duo, founded by Dennis James, seeks to per form authentic accompaniment to silent films, showcasing unusual instr uments in order to recreate period styles and per formance and to reproduce sounds that are not only accurate to the silent film era, but enter taining for an audience perhaps not used to silent film

Whether you ’ re a Shakespeare fanatic, silent film lover or just want to hear some really lovely music and enjoy the aweinspiring talent of Asta Nielsen, I would definitely recommend checking out this screening of Hamlet (1921), which had its original color-tinting restored in 2007 Cornell Cinema is playing this free screening with a live score per formed by the Filmharmonia Duo on September 14th at 8 PM in Sage Chapel

The Big Sick : Graceful and Hilarious Rom-Com

What if we fall in love with someone that does not meet our family’s traditional standards? The Big Sick, playing at Cornell Cinema this weekend, explores on this question hilariously and gracefully

Kumail is a stand-up comedian and Uber driver in Chicago An immigrant from Pakistan, Kumail is supposed to marry a Pakastani woman Every time he goes to dinner at his parents ’ house, a Pakastani woman “just drops in” to join the family for dinner Both his parents and his brother had arranged marriages Kumail explains in the film that in Pakistan, “there is marriage and love marriage;” the norm is arranged marriages

At a family dinner, Kumail’s mother talks about their cousin who married “ a white girl” and has a baby Kumail’s

family agreed that that baby “would grow up very unhappy and no one would visit it and it would have no family ” His family is engrossed in Pakastani tradition

Anyone who disrespects or rejects a part of their culture is banished from the family

Kumail loves his family and Pakastani culture but does not believe in all of their traditions Kumail’s family also longs for him to become a doctor or lawyer instead of a standup comedian We also see Kumail’s struggles to be a Pakastani immigrant in post-9/11 United States Kumail is

asked about his “ stance on 9/11,” and also told to “ return to ISIS ”

Becky Frank Cornell Cinema

One night during Kumail’s stand-up bit, a young woman named Emily “woo-hoos” him from the crowd After the show, Kumail and Emily talk, and eventually develop a romantic connection Both are not looking for anything serious, so they agree to never see each other again Unsurprisingly, they keep on seeing each other Cue the romantic montage

Kumail and Emily begin to develop serious feelings for each other Emily wants Kumail to meet her parents, but Kumail knows Emily could not meet his He was still meeting a Pakastani woman every time he went to dinner at his parents ’ house

Eventually, Kumail mentions Emily to his brother, Naveed His brother understood “hanging around other girls” and “experiencing America,” but he stressed the importance of marrying another Pakastani woman Naveed married a Pakastani woman named Fatama, and in the first few months barely spoke two words to her but now sees her as a best friend Naveed also reasoned with Kumail that their mother would love him less and that Kumail had to “end it now or Mom will fucking ghost you ”

Though he does not plan to end it, Kumail and Emily get into a big fight surrounding Kumail’s family’s culture Shortly after, Emily gets very sick Kumail is there the whole time, getting roped into signing forms for her as her “husband ” While he waits by her side, hoping she’ll recover, he bonds with her parents Kumail must find a way to be accepted by his family and also win Emily back, if she survives her illness

Kumail Nanjiani’s true story is not only hysterically funny, but interesting and uplifting The Big Sick’ s jokes are very relatable to young people’s everyday lives Uber, texting language, sexiled roommates, family relations, and more all leave the audience laughing

Of Montreal at the Haunt

The experimental pop band, of Montreal, delivered a theatrical performance at The Haunt in Ithaca on Monday

The band was founded by lead singer Kevin Barnes in 1996, and their music has since endured various evolutions since their early rock, alternative sound

With the release of their most recent album, Rune Husk, of Montreal has embraced an experimental pop vibe that deviates from the style of the band’s 13 previous albums This performance not only showcased the band’s new sound, but integrated various songs from their older albums, all which were welcomed by the crowd of veteran fans

The band’s publicist Naavin Karimbux described Barnes as “ a sort of modern day David Bowie ” Though this statement seems a bit too bold, Kevin Barnes certainly knows how to entertain the crowd and his use of costume changes, dancers, sets and theatrics allows him to mimic Bowie, in his drama and androgyny

The opening act, a group of two women called Nancy’s Feast, set the trippy, entrancing tone for of Montreal’s performance, though parts of their act fell a bit flat As a combination of interpretive dance, performance art and electronic, synthesized music, the performance felt almost hypnotic, but was rather disjointed It evoked a sort of robotic attention that did not quite seem to mix with of Montreal’s generally upbeat tone By the time Nancy’s Feast had finished their act, the audience was eager for the band to come on stage

The Haunt provided a space that allowed the crowd to interact with Barnes and other members of the band

“...of Montreal and its music is truly a fusion of various identities.”

To start off the show, as the other band members came on stage, the crowd cheered and built the suspense for the arrival of Barnes He skipped on stage to make his entrance in his first of many androgynous costumes and began singing one of the band’s most popular songs, “Wrath Pinned to the Mist ” Lights flashed various psychedelic 70sstyle patterns on the back wall, and Barnes lit up the crowd

The first song on of Montreal’s latest album is “let’s relate,” which begins with the lyric, “how do you identify?” This question of identity pervades the band’s music and was an overarching theme of the performance

From the fusing of styles incorporated in the costumes to the variety of musical elements of different genres, of Montreal and its music is truly a fusion of various identities In this fusion, the band and its music encourage an acceptance of identity, enforcing the way that Barnes was able to invoke the audience to join him rather than listen to him

His dancing and interactions with the other performers on stage with him encouraged the crowd to similarly engage in a carefree attitude His dramatic hair and costume may have demanded attention, but it was the combination of the performance between the people on stage and the nature of of Montreal’s music that allowed the performance to generate the upbeat and carefree attitude that the audience surely experienced

Football Kicks Off 2017 Season at Delaware

recovered

This past week, Delaware took a step up when it traveled to Virginia Tech, the No 16 team in the FBS, the nation’s highest level of football Delaware dropped the game 27-0, but held the Hokies to 303 yards of total offense and only 81 yards rushing

While Delaware’s Danny Rocco, named head coach this past summer, has just two games under his belt, he has already established an identity for his team: one that can stop the run on defense and a ground-and-pound offense that eats up clock In the past two games, Delaware averaged just over 38 minutes in time of possession

“ They definitely swallow the football,” Archer said of Delaware’s offense “ They just want to hold the ball, keep your offense off the field that way, run the ball, run the quarterback Offensively, you have to be conscious of that, you have to make your possessions count ”

But Archer had a simple answer on how to take on

“I just see a confidence, and I see an intensity. They know they can win, let’s get to the games ”

Delaware’s strategy stick to playing Cornell football

“Ideally, you want to get a lead on these guys so that they have to change what they do, throw the ball a little more, play a little bit more up tempo, ” Archer added “[ We’re] not looking to change anything we do, we want to get them out of what their game plan is ”

While Delaware already has two games in the books, the Red will be seeing its first game action as a result of Ivy League rules, another significant challenge

“It’s definitely tough when your opponent ’ s got two games under their belt, and we ’ re going in with our first

game, ” said senior safety and captain Nick Gesualdi “ You just gotta know it’s game time, you got to get into it We just need to start fast, start hard and keep it going ” Archer acknowledged that the team will inevitably deal with some opening-day jitters but stated that the group has “ a way different maturity level” than teams past “At the start of it you ’ re just going to have to press the poise button way more than you normally would, because that game speed we haven't seen yet and they have,” Archer said “[But] it’s just a night and day level where you ’ re not worr ying about the snap count or the call or things like that, we ’ re really in attack mode ”

While Saturday is only game number one, the team is looking to prove that the offseason work has paid off this year, especially after last year ’ s season-ending 1-6 skid “[ We] kind of fell off at the end, but we ’ re really excited for what we ’ ve got this year, ” Gesualdi said “ We’re just really excited to show ever yone outside of Cornell what we can do I love our squad this year, couldn’t be happier ” Kickoff is set for Saturday at 3:30 p m in Newark, Delaware

Undefeated Field Hockey Picks Up 2 More Road Wins

Goalie tandem of Henry and Johnson anchor stingy Red defense, giving up less than goal per game

By BENNETT GROSS Sun Staff Writer

After beginning the year with two 1-0 wins, Cornell field hockey continued its early winning streak by picking up two more one-goal victories over Vermont and Maine this past weekend

The Red (4-0) has heavily relied on the goaltending tandem of sophomore Maddie Henry and senior Kelly Johnson So far this season, the duo has only allowed a combined two goals through four games, and they have saved 92 percent of the shots they have faced

“We have two starting caliber

goalies, and we have been committed to playing both of them,” head coach Donna Hornibrook said “They work really well together, they have been pushing each other and they have been really supportive of one another I can ’ t say enough about how much they mean to this team

”

Their stellar play led the Ivy League to recognize Johnson as the league’s player of the week

Additionally, Henry earned a spot on the Ivy League Honor Roll

“Our team defense has been great on all three lines, but our goalies have also been phenomenal,” senior captain Sam McILwrick said “Both of them have played exceptionally well in our opening four games ”

“We came into this season with a lot fight, which was something that we were honestly lacking at some times last season, ” added senior forward Katie Carlson “So that was a huge starting point for us We’ve been focusing on channeling the drive everyone has into creating smart plays and decisions in the moment because the energy and will to win people have can take over in tough competition ”

The pair’s impressive start has overshadowed the Red’s otherwise slow start on offense Through its first four games, the squad has netted the ball only six times, half of which came in the win against Maine

The team began the weekend

with a 1-0 win on the road against Vermont (2-3) After a scoreless first half, senior for ward Katie Carlson gave the Red the lead, and Cornell never looked back, holding on for its third consecutive victory

The next day against Maine, Cornell stayed in Vermont and clinched its first top-25 win of the season by defeating the Black Bears in the neutral location

“They’re consistently a really good team, and we finally scored some goals, so that was a pretty big win for us, ” Hornibrook said “Our defense has been able to bend but not break, which is a promising sign for us as we get closer to Ivy League play ”

to yet another one-goal lead, outlasting No 24 Maine

“We struggled with our play in the first three games, but finally in the Maine game we played our way We still have a lot of work to do, but we are happy to see that we are able to perform on game days,” McILwrick said

In its next game Friday, the Red will host another top-25 team in Rutgers Cornell will look to start the season 5-0 for the first time since 2009 Last season, the Scarlet Knights defeated the Red 4-2 in New Jersey Cornell will then travel to Lafayette

“We have two starting caliber goalies, and we have been committed to playing both of them.”

The Red got out to an early 20 lead on goals by McILwrick and junior forward Isabel Siergiej But the Black Bears did not go down without a fight

Maine came roaring back with two goals of its own, both scored by junior Samantha Wagg The two goals came within four minutes of one another

Just after halftime, the Red took advantage via a Kr ysten Mayers goal, and Cornell hung on

“It’s still early in the season, and we ’ ve had some moments where we have played exceptionally well, and some moments where we haven’t, but luckily we have been able to come away with wins our first four times out, ” Hornibrook said “We just want to continue to improve and develop at this point, we aren ’ t too focused on who our opponent is, because we are mostly interested on how we can get better each game ”

I believe strongly that football not only fits into [Cornell’s] mission, but is instrumental in achieving many of Cornell’s institutional goals.

Red Takes on Delaware to Open 130th Season

Cornell has sights set on season-opening upset against top-caliber opponent on the road

By JAMIL RAHMAN Sun Assistant Sports Editor

There is a reinvigorated buzz and optimism around this year ’ s football team, especially since the team is coming off its winningest season and highest league-finish during the tenure of head coach David Archer ’05, now entering his fifth year

“Ivy League’s a really long preseason, so everyone ’ s really excited to get it going,” senior running back and captain Jack Gellatly said “All the pieces have now kind

of fallen into place, and we ’ re just excited to get after it ”

The team has a variety of things to be excited for For starters, it’s Archer’s first team where he hand-picked all of the recruiting classes In addition, the team is returning many key players, such as All-Ivy first teamers junior running back Chris Walker and senior safety Nick Gesualdi and honorable mention junior quarterback Dalton Banks Now, at long last, the team gets to put its self-confidence to the test when it opens the

Delaware

“I just see a confidence, and I see an intensity They know they can win, let’s get to the games, ” a bubbling Archer said The Blue Hens opened their season against in-state rival Delaware State, cr uising to a 22-3 victor y Delaware put up 432 yards of total offense, 226 of which came on the ground while holding Delaware State to only 59 yards rushing and 165 passing The team ’ s defense also forced five fumbles, two of which it

3 Keys for Football to Pull Off the Big Upset Against Delaware

By CHARLES COTTON Sun Assistant Sports Editor

Heading into the 2017 football season with high hopes, Cornell football kicks things off with what will be the hardest matchup on its schedule, a road game at Delaware That’s one hell of a way to open up the year Saturday’s game will mark the first ever meeting between the two teams though they are two of the oldest programs in college football Here are three keys for the Red to remain com-

petitive with Delaware

Play Mistake-Free Football

This is an easy one While it is not clear exactly what to expect from Cornell, Delaware is a strong favorite going into the contest with two regular season games already under its belt

The best way to erase any hopes of an upset? Mistakes

It’s game number one of 10, and without a true preseason, Cornell is more than likely going to commit its fair share of mistakes mental, phys-

ical, you name it But if the team wants to keep up with the Blue Hens, it will have to find ways to minimize those mistakes

Last season, the Red commited a comedic amount of penalties in its opening matchup at Bucknell three on the first drive and 11 overall but the group eventually settled down and won 24-16

“That game speed, we have not seen yet, and they have, so it’s going to take a little bit,” said head coach David Archer ’05 of potential jitters

“We have to keep pressing the ‘poise’ button early in the game ” Against a tough team, however, those mistakes could prove insurm o u n t a b l e L i m i t i n g p ro c e d u r a

penalties, turnovers, blown coverages and miscommunications is priority number one come Saturday if the Red wants a shot at the upset

Establish the Run Early

Although Cornell finished last in the league in rushing last season, the backfield is filled with talent, especially in the form of junior Chris Walker Walker averaged over five yards per carry last season and will be the team ’ s featured back in 2017

Walker won ’ t do it alone, however, as senior captain Jack Gellatly and
