This spring the Cornell community will have the opportunity to vote on whether to ban all tobacco products from the Ithaca camp u s Currently, the referendum is slated to coincide with spring elections for the Student Assembly, according to Gabriel Kaufman ’18, chair of the Student Assembly Appropriations Committee It is likely to be held in early March
“Deciding to make Cornell’s Ithaca campus tobacco-free involves many considerations
ed by the University Assembly in May last year through U A Resolution 9 It is meant to allow all members of the Cornell community to vote on whether Cornell should “launch a two-year initiative to become tobacco-free ” The resolution was originally sponsored by Ulysses J Smith, former chair of the Employee Assembly, and was introduced in March 2017 The Cornell community will have the opportunity to submit statements during a comment period before the referendum takes place
The referendum was officially adopt-

Ithaca College and Cornell Libraries Combine Catalogs
By AMINA KILPATRICK Sun Staff Wr ter
A new Cornell University and Ithaca College partnership allows students, faculty and staff to borrow books and other reference materials directly from both campuses
The library departments of Cornell and Ithaca College have now added a program where members of each of the college’s communities can go to the other’s campus and check out books
Students will have to apply for a free library card before they can borrow materials
Cornell currently does have library lending partnerships with other universities The University participates in the Interlibrary loan program that
allows students to receive materials from Cornell’s partner organizations Ithaca College also has a similar program in place “We have had a long-standing relationship with [Ithaca
“The philosophy of resource sharing is getting these materials to people no matter where they are.”
College] on Interlibrary Loan,” said Caitlin Finlay, Director of Interlibrary Services “This is something that is growing in the resource sharing community
The philosophy of resource sharing is getting these materials to
people no matter where they are ”
Because of the proximity of the campuses, members of either institution are now able to go directly to the library and check out books
“We are so close that the [Interlibrar y Ser vices] department was getting people from Ithaca College or vice versa saying ‘Hey I am here can I take out this book?’ and there was no mechanism to do that because that was not the way the system would work,” said Wendy Wilcox, Access Ser vices Librarian
Cornell additionally has in place a program called Borrow Direct between the Ivy League, Stanford University, University

Ezra’s Tunnel Closed for Safety
Continued
ing Ithaca Falls and Ezra’s Tunnel In 2011, Kendrick Castro, 22, from Reston, Virginia, drowned the day after he received his diploma after slipping and being swept away by the rushing waters as he waded toward the swimming hole under Forest Falls Winston S Perez Ventura, 17, of the Bronx, was enrolled in C o r n e l l’s p re - f re s h m a n p ro g r a m w h e n h e drowned at the swimming hole on Aug 5 of last year
“There’s this big industrial piece of metal blocking access to an area that’s so beatiful.”
L
Both passed through the tunnel shortly before their deaths
"The installation of the safety barriers to close off the dangerous area above Ithaca Falls is a crucial component of the broader gorge safety efforts between Cornell and the City of Ithaca, to promote safe and responsible use of the gorges, ” Todd Bittner, Cornell’s director of natural areas, said in an email
Cornell’s co-founder, Ezra Cornell, used gunpowder to burrow through the tunnel in 1830 with a crew A dam above Ithaca Falls, which is now spray painted and crumbling, once sent water gushing through the tunnel and powered mills along Fall Creek
For decades, students have traveled through
the tunnel to lounge on the rocks upstream from the 150-foot-tall Ithaca Falls or swim illegally under Forest Falls A headline from The Cornell Daily Sun in 1963 reported that “Ezra’s Tunnel Lures Students ”
Frank Proto ’65 told The Sun in December, after urging Common Council to vote against the gate, that he and his friends walked through the tunnel “ a number of times” in the early 1960s
Logan Bell, who founded a loose group, Free the Gorges, that advocates to keep natural areas open, said the erection of the barrier “feels almost unreal ”
“There’s this big industrial piece of metal blocking access to an area that’s so beautiful,” he said on Sunday evening “We really don’t have much of a recourse at this point other than going in more dangerous paths to get to the same areas ”
Joe McMahon, the former chair of Ithaca’s Natural Areas Commission, wrote in an op-ed in The Sun that he wished he could continue to enjoy the area, but that the danger of the area and the desire of people “ to go to a spot where there is little-to-no oversight” requires that it be shuttered
Some Common Council members said in December that they supported the gate, but also held out hope that it would one day be opened “I will be voting for this gate with the hope that we will also marshall our time and resources [to] maybe take it down sometime in the near future,” Rob Gearhart (D-Third Ward) said in December

Vote on Tobacco Ban
After Pollack’s review, referendum to be non-binding
TOBACCO
Continued from page 1
Joseph Anderson ’20, chair of the Campus Welfare Committee and an undergraduate representative to the U A , said the referendum is being held to give every individual at Cornell the opportunity to “have a say in this process ”
In September 2016, the U A referred the idea of creating a tobaccofree campus to the Campus Welfare Committee After meeting with constituent group representatives, Cornell Health, Cornell Wellness, Environmental Health and Safety and Tompkins County, the CWC recommended the U A hold a campus-wide referendum
President Martha E Pollack’s response to the approved resolution praised the U A ’ s commitment to addressing the health concerns of tobacco on campus and providing a chance for members of the Cornell community to express their views, but recommended that they hold at least one public hearing regarding the referendum
“In addition to providing opportunities for dialogue on the use of tobacco on campus, a referendum along with the attendant comment period and public forum –- would create an opportunity for a public education campaign on campus to enhance understanding about the negative health effects of tobacco use, an effort I would fully support, ” she said in her statement
Pollack did express some concern that some might see a tobacco ban as “ a significant personal restriction ” She specifically disagreed with a clause in the resolution that would make the results of the referendum binding
“Deciding whether to make Cornell’s Ithaca campus tobacco-free involves many considerations, and although popular opinion among our students, faculty and staff is chief among them, other concerns about enforcement and the impact on staff on a sprawling campus must not be overlooked,” she said in her acknowledgment of the resolution
The Assembly took Pollack’s concerns into consideration In response, Anderson told The Sun, the referendum will not follow the initial binding clause so university leadership will not be obligated to honor the referendum results

An Independent to Democrats: You’re Losing
Well, the last month has been interesting, to say the least Trump has further unveiled his narcissism, racism and misogyny More importantly, however, Michael Wolff ’ s tell-all, Fire and Fury, has revealed the complete and utter incompetence of Trump and his cronies As someone who gobbled Wolff ’ s book down, I can only say that the men (and only men) that are running this country terrify me to my core
But perhaps the greatest evil of the Trump era is not the president and his staff, but rather the Republican-controlled Congress that continually defends the monstrosity that is Trumpism The moral bankruptcy of men (and only men) like Rep Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Rep Bob Goodlatte
Democrats
unable to convey a coherent message and lack inclusivity
2016 hangs over the Democrats like mosquitos on a hot summer night Debates on whether Hillary stole the nomination, or whether it was her fault that the party blew the most winnable presidential race in modern history, plague the party Democrats are still embroiled in a bitter civil war over a race that was lost over a year ago
The time for fighting over 2016 is over Democrats need to accept that there will never be a broad consensus over what exactly happened in that strange, bizarre election As a swing voter, I personally find Democrats’ constant fights over the election to be annoying and distracting from the real issues An autopsy is fine –– but this all-out brawl feels lik fi ht between petulant chil-
(R-Va ) and Sen Tom Cotton (R-Ark ) threaten the very foundations of our democracy Despite the complete lack of competence and morality among Republicans, Democrats are somehow, some way, losing the war on Trump and his allies
Democrats’ recent defeat on the government shutdown –– where Democrats failed to get a deal on DACA –– is only a symptom of a much greater institutional dysfunction within the party As a registered Independent, I find that my outsider status gives me a unique perspective on the party ’ s problems In my view, Democrats face three major problems: they are still haunted by the ghosts of 2016, are
nd the election, ats face a massive messagblem If I were forced to the main theme of the arty ’ s messaging, it would be this: Trump sucks No focus on policy, no focus on the problems facing everyday Americans Instead, Democrats seem to be almost singularly focused on the fire-breathing dragon that is Trump Sure, Democrats may occasionally discuss an issue that seems to have salience (DACA, for example); however, the main focus of their efforts has been an attempt to bring down Trump
I understand the impulse to focus one ’ s energy singularly on the president: the guy is dangerous and wholly incompetent However, Trump is Teflon Look at the Republican primaries –– Trump was able to literally insult veterans and somehow not lose support Look at the general election ––Trump bragged about groping women, yet somehow won over 300 electoral votes Quite simply, the country has

become desensitized to the filth and evil of this amoral buffoon Thus, focusing on Trump is a gigantic waste of time
Instead, Democrats should offer a reasoned alternative to the fiery blond orange The party should present a platform that utilizes its history of economic populism with a wellthought-out foreign policy agenda This will not only counter Trumpian populism, but will also contrast with the let’s-throw-a-hand-grenade-into-world-affairs-and-see-whathappens approach of the president’s foreign policy
Furthermore, the party should push a uniform message It is clear that nearly every major Democrat –– from Senator Cory Booker (D-N J ) to Governor Andrew Cuomo (DN Y ) –– has their own message and agenda Instead, Democrats should strive to establish some sort of universal message that will routinely be heard by the American people
Finally, Democrats face a major inclusivity problem The party refuses to admit those who do not adhere to an exact ideology –– meaning that anyone who has pro-life, pro-gun or any other semi-conservative leanings is unwelcome in the party This is perhaps the most foolish thing that a party rebuilding from the ashes of a historic defeat can do Republicans were routinely criticized by Democrats after 2012 for having policies that excluded minority Americans from their party; four years later, Democrats are effectively making the same mistake by blockading those that do not fall in line with liberal orthodoxy
To win the war on Trump, Democrats need to free themselves of their self-imposed chains They must present themselves as something beyond the broken two-party system that has paralyzed our system of government And maybe –– just maybe –– if Democrats present themselves as a dignified party, they may raise the level of political discourse and force their Republican colleagues to emerge from their morally bankrupt status

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Jeremiah Kim & Viri Garcia
For a generation who practically grew up on the internet, the age-old American adage of “Do It Yourself ” has never loomed so tantalizingly close overhead Want to make a music video for YouTube? Do it yourself Want to organize a rally on Facebook? Do it yourself Want to garner 2 4 million listens on Soundcloud? Do it yourself
We are convinced that the traditional models for artistic and cultural production which relied heavily on the capital of big-name record labels and mainstream broadcasting corporations have lost their titanic grip over our DIY 2 0 society At the same time, however, pop is increasingly trending toward independent artists whose success can be nearuniformly traced as a neat jump from the Soundcloud hype circuit to Spotify’s Rap Caviar playlist, or from a viral YouTube video to an Apple Music feature
Nowhere are the exhilarating capacities and latent contradictions of today’s entertainment industry more apparent than in the meteoric rise of boy band/hip-hop collective/pop outfit Brockhampton And their latest effort, SATURATION III, caps off what has been a watershed year for the boy band exactly in terms of those tectonic economic shifts to contemporary music production and consumption that I just described
For example: there’s a decent chance you may have seen Kevin Abstract, the band’s de facto leader, on Twitter before you heard his music And that’s alright in fact, that’s exactly how it should be Every member of Brockhampton is active online (shoutout to Death Grips) and thus fully engaged with “ pop culture,” which gives us a clue not only to their marketing strategy but also to the content, form and force of their music
As many have noted, Brockhampton wear their musical influences Kanye, Frank Ocean, Odd Future, Childish Gambino, N E R D and Kid Cudi to name a few on their sleeve with unabashed ardor If you were to (1) take the maximalist production and lyrical freak-outs of Kanye post808s and (2) mix it with the genre-and-sexuality-bending aesthetics and pitched-up vocals of Frank Ocean on Blonde, and then (3) cram all that into the frenetic energy of a group
of eager, vulgar youngsters with more than half a mind to flip over the metaphorical table that is the mainstream music industr y whilst wearing (and selling) brightly colored streetwear akin to Odd Future, you’d end up with something resembling Brockhampton in its current state
This isn t to imply that their three back-to-back-to-back albums are wholly derivative They each deliver a startlingly fresh sound that’s genuinely fun to listen to And since we ’ re already making comparisons between Brockhampton and Odd Future, I’ll make the case that the former’s Saturation trilogy sounds leagues ahead of Radical, the latter group ’ s second mixtape From production quality and vocal delivery to thematic depth and stylistic range, Brockhampton scores higher than their predecessor across the board at parallel stages of development Let’s look at some of the highlights from the album to see what I mean
Following the trend of Saturation I and II, Saturation III begins with punch-to-the-face banger “BOOGIE” that is breakneck in both its lyrical content and breathless, carnivalesque pace Aside from being instantly catchy and fun, “BOOGIE” addresses some issues that the seven members feel are important to them Kevin Abstract starts off the first verse with “What’s on the rules for breakfast today? / What are the words I’m forbidden to say?” Kevin Abstract is openly gay, and his family has often censored him with their disapproval He is no stranger to homophobia and has made it his mission to make sure no one else feels the way he did through his music
The fourth track, “LIQUID,” is short but features four strikingly raw verses and an outro Ameer Vann starts off the first verse with “I grew up all alone / My mom and dad fighting / I moved around a lot, I did a lot of fighting ” Dom McLennon jumps into the second verse with “Watch my uncles duck indictments / I'm used to ramen noodles, victims of mental illness / Products of neighborhoods with broken souls and wounded spirits ” Each member has gone through different hardships and they’re not afraid to let the world know, especially since they are living proof and hope that hard times are only temporary
“BLEACH,” the seventh track, has become more popular than “BOOGIE” regardless of the fact that the two songs sound like opposites Whereas “BOOGIE” is an upbeat dance song, “BLEACH” is smooth, emotional and raw The laid-back beats and echoing chords create a melancholic backdrop to the chorus, sung by Ryan Beatty: “Who got the feeling? / Tell me why I cry when I feel it / Tell me why ” The first verse, rapped by Matt Champion, follows the despondent theme of the chorus with lyrics such as “Feel like a monster, feel like a dead head zombie / Feelings you don't want me, I ain't giving up, you should set if off / Tell me ‘time's up ’ , let the water run, let my body run ” In a genre that is generally about flaunting fame, success and money, Brockhampton are not afraid to flaunt their vulnerabilities and emotions
The last track, “TEAM,” has no chorus but brings the Saturation trilogy to full circle In each album, every track had a six-letter title, except for “HEAT,” the first track on Saturation Now, on Saturation III, the last track has four letters once more, signaling the end of the trilogy “TEAM” is made up of two parts, the first one being an exposed ballad sung by bearface The second part features the members once more revealing striking pieces of themselves, such as “Little old me, I thought my world was progressive / 'Cause my president was black, twenty-five lighters on the dresser” and “I hope this holy water burn me ' cause I ain't worth this life / I ain't worth the light of day, but for some I light the way ”
The end of the Saturation trilogy leaves listeners satisfied yet wanting more There has been enough of Saturation, but we want more Brockhampton They bring something new and fresh This isn’t generic rap and this isn’t Kendrick or Kanye This is Brockhampton, the best boy band since One Direction, and listeners are eager to see what they have in store for the future

Festival 24: The Epitome of Student Creativity
BY RUBY QUE Sun Staff Writer
What did you do in the 24 hours starting from Friday at 6:30 p m ?
A group of students were creating something incredible from scratch Festival 24, which started in 2008 with only theatre productions, recently added film and dance performances to showcase the work of other students in the Performing and Media Arts department Festival 24 challenges students to produce a story from a one-word theme in 24 hours Playwrights stayed up all night to write a 10-minute play Directors and stage managers came in at 6:30 a m to cast actors Rehearsals started right away, while the tech crew started coordinating light and sound
This year ’ s program features four plays, a dance and a film The Flex Theatre at the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts filled up as soon as the house opened, with people evensitting down on the ground
I loved how different creative minds interpreted the theme, “weather,” in all ways possible Playwright Janilya Baizack ’18 made a reference to the one and only Angels in America by bringing an actress wannabe into
a hallucinating state, where she meets Harper Pitt in Antarctica and learns a life lesson
In the only dance piece of the night, Hurricane, the choreographer created a beautiful natural rhythm with the dancers’ smooth yet powerful movement
My personal favorite was Teagan Todd’s 20 Room 104, a play about the fictional Cornell Loneliness Club,” where sad and lonely college kids with no friends can get together Over the course of a club meeting, characters exchange stories about how they lost their friends Luisa (Catherine Yu ’20) sacrificed friendship for school and higher GPA, Nicky (Alonzo Farley ’20) couldn’t resist the lure of casual sex and slept with all his friends, Daisy (Ilana Wallenstein ’21), who came into the scene with charisma and confidence that almost didn’t fit, eventually revealed that although she could easily socialize with anyone in the room, she didn’t know how to bring the conversation beyond surface level and build long-lasting friendships These confessions are shockingly personal and relatable As the club flyer reads, “Cornell is overflowing with these sad, sad fucks,” yet we never talk about our weaknesses half as much as we should Todd, who was also the master-
mind behind Booty Call in the 1 0 - m i n u t e playfest last semester, has a unique sense of dark humor and her work always taps into the issues we face as college students with honesty and sympathy
Richa Parikh ’20 and Carley Robinson ’21 are hilarious as the artificial intelligence “Alexa” developed by Amazon in Dream State, written by Jack Press ’18 and directed by Julia Dunetz ’19 The play, by showing how Alexas mess with college student Rowan (Scott Blankenbaker)’s psyche and produce a detrimental effect on his social life, vaguely reminded me of Black Mirror, a TV series that explores the modern age techno-paranoia
To use project coordinator Irving TorresLopez’s ’18 words, “the amount of creative and emotional labor that went into this production is nothing short of remarkable ”
Dancer Madeline Gray ’20 admitted that although the program has a lot of “rough edges along the way ” due to lack of rehearsal, there’s “ a kind of magic in making something so complete” in such a short period of time Festival 24 is ephemeral and so particular to this moment in time, that I almost felt sad when it ended But there s always a next time, and if you want to see what some crazy, determined artists can create in one day, make sure to mark next semester ’ s date

Green-Eyed, Full-Hearted, Can Definitely Lose
I’ ve never made a Ne w Years resolution My aversion to them stems from my awareness that I’ve never stuck to a goal like “read more!” before, and that I’m not star ting now Following a call from my doctor about my triglyceride levels this Januar y, I finally agreed to eat vegetables and engage in the dreaded activity called cardio But other than that, I’ve attacked 2018 the same way that I’ve approached each prior year
That is, with ambitious dreams that I break down into exactly zero actionable steps and then abandon
It’s not my fault According to 16personalities com, I am an ENFP personality type and as such have “ poor practical skills” and “find it difficult to focus ”
Still, I’m turning 22 this June and tr ying to act like the post-college adults por trayed in sitcoms and movies I made a habit tracker and signed up for a budgeting website I deleted hundreds of half-baked tweets about Air

about DIY scenes is legally obligated I deduce to include at least one paragraph about how scenes thrive when artists boost each other In other words, you should go to your friend’s basement set on a Friday night even though you would rather be in bed playing computer games
But I’m fallible and self-conscious (I told you I’m an emo ar tist), and a negative feeling sinks in when I hit “going” to my friends’ shows on Facebook or stream their albums: envy
When I say, “I’ll for sure go to your show,” a petty, little par t of my mind says, “I wish I had a show coming up ” When I see someone get a stellar revie w, that same voice whispers, “I wish I was getting written up ” It’s trivial, it’s immature, it’s probably inextricably human Thankfully, I’m usually adept at beating back those thoughts When they flare up, I remember Jon, played by Domhnall Gleeson, from the movie Frank Jon wants to

They hate it It’s a terrible song Jon gets what he’s always envied Soronpr fbs for adoring crowds, a huge stage but his musical skills just aren ’ t there Jon wasted all of his effor t envying Frank’s success instead of working to be a better ar tist

Peter Buonanno
In January of 2017 Donald Glover, better known as Childish Gambino, gave a shout out to three of music's hottest on-the-rise M C s: Quavo, Offset and Takeoff
Together they formed the group Migos A few days after Glover's mention of the trio, Migos dropped the album Culture, which quickly reached critical acclaim From there, Migos saw a successful summer, playing on a massive tour with Future and making several festival appearances In the midst of their busy summer, Offset dropped a major bomb: the announcement of Culture II And after months of waiting, almost on the exact anniversary of Culture, the sequel has arrived Culture II is a booming follow-up to an incredibly successful year Over the span of 24 tracks that equate to nearly two hours of listening time, Migos flaunt their wealth, ambition and style Tracks such as White Sand,” Gang Gang,” Too Much Jewelry” and “Open It Up” stand out as clear setlist staples, and Offset and Takeoff shine on “Crown Kings ” Migos enlist the help of fellow Atlanta native 21 Savage, mega-star Drake, Gucci Mane, Big Sean, Travis Scott, Post
Malone and several other big-name artists to piece together a group of energetic tracks designed to act as the backbone for any party But what may be most impressive are the producers that Migos were able to recruit: the likes of Metro Boomin, Kanye West, Murda Beatz, Zaytoven and Pharell Williams included
While the content from song to song is very repetitive, the group ’ s sound is constantly changing The Migos have opted for a more experimental, reverberant vibe on Culture II While they haven't completely abandoned the 808s of their past, still including songs like “Motor Sport,” Culture II has a much bouncier and lighter feel than the dark trap house vibes of its precedent Tracks like “Narcos” and “Stir Fry” show the Migos using new vocal effects, rhyme schemes and rhythmic patterns These songs also see experimentation with traditionally Latin instruments Furthermore, Beast” utilizes a synth pop influence and “Made Men” has a very jazzy feel, showing that the Migos and their producers are committed to reinventing Migos’ Sound with each track
All that said, there is one thing about Culture II that has
not Frank, I’m Jon ”
For a while, I thought that if I got a big break if I was able to sell lots of music and play huge shows all
of my envy and insecurity would go away Yet, Tad Friend’s profile of Ben Stiller in the Ne w Yorker shows how much insecurity can plague the extremely successful In the ar ticle, Stiller’s wife Christine Taylor explains that Stiller thinks, “Do my peers respect me? I don’t get nominated for awards And it would feel good to get the call from this director, or that one ” Envy, it seems, has more to do with how you think than external success, or lack thereof
Relief came in the form of the realization that there is another way to create Many ways, actually At the end of break, I took the Metro-Nor th down to the city to visit my grandmother, Renee Renee has been creating for her entire life, and her apar tment alone is evidence of her practice Ar tworks of many media adorn all of the walls: c o l l a g e , p a i n t i n g s , m i x e d m e d i a w o r k s , d r a w i n g s
Decorated bottles of various shapes cover a long counter in the living room Ever y time I visit, she insists that I take something if she has her way, a bunch of things back home with me
This isn’t to say that she hasn’t been successful in a public sense, too She has shown her work in many shows throughout the years, and worked as an instr uctor at the Fashion Institute of Technology for much of her life
Still, I’ve always admired Renee for the way in which she shares her ar t: not for profit, not for fame, not for admiration, but because she finds something beautiful and she thinks you will too So here it is, a non-resolution for a ne w year: to envy less, share more and just play some damn music without worr ying so much

the potential to change the dynamic of the Migos Takeoff, while showing his prowess in live performances and on tracks such as “Big on Big” and “Fight Night,” has predominantly taken a backseat to the solo success of Offset and Quavo However, Culture II proves that Takeoff has star power flowing through his veins While all three Migos give memorable performances on the record, it is Takeoff who truly shines It seems that he has a major impact on nearly every song, but he especially displays his skills on the jazzy “Made Men ” Culture II is a fun sequel that will quickly become a staple in playlists around the world It is the beginning of new era in for Migos: one that is no longer Quavo-dominated Offset and Takeoff Takeoff especially prove that they are among the best M C s today The only thing about Culture II that falls short in my mind is the lyrical similarity between songs I look forward to what Migos have in store for us this in the coming year

Red Dominates Behind Angello and Galajda’s Big Nights
Angello said
time all season
“All four lines knew when [Donato] was on the ice,” Schafer said “You have to know when he’s on the ice, you better play him one-on-one strong, you better keep your feet moving against him ”
The highlight-reel performance was perhaps Galajda’s most challenging of all his shutouts yet The Crimson peppered the rookie with scoring chances, especially in the second period, during which the Harvard outshot the Red, 136
A back-and-forth opening period saw the Red take a 10 advantage into the locker room thanks to Angello’s first strike and the first of three early Cornell penalty kills
“I think as a whole we brought it to them and got pucks to the net, and good things happen when we do that,”
After failing to convert on one minute of power play time left over from the opening frame to open the second period, the Red fended off several Harvard advances, holding off the Crimson to enter the final intermission still clinging to a one-goal lead
One of Galajda’s biggest saves of the night came with under five minutes left in the second frame when he sprawled to glove a redirect off the stick of Harvard’s Michael Floodstrand
“He’s very, very calm in the net, ” Schafer said of his goaltender “He doesn’t get running around or sliding around in there ”
Angello gave the Red some breathing room 6:33 into the third, rifling a shot that ricocheted off the post and then off Harvard goalie Michael Lackey before trickling into the net
Cornell dominated the first half of the closing period,
outshooting the Crimson, 10-4, entering the midway media timeout
With Angello’s insurance goal in hand, Galajda settled further into his element The rookie netminder made several more big stops, including an instance in which he covered up a shot after a flurry of chances in his crease with around eight minutes left The lockdown defense did its job the rest of the way, squashing Harvard’s few remaining opportunities
The “ gutty ” game was yet another tough battle between the two storied rivals
“It was a hard-fought game, ” Schafer said “I said to [Harvard coach] Ted Donato at the end it was just typical [of the rivalry matchup], a battle to the very end ”

beautiful feed from sophomore defenseman Yanni Kaldis With the goal, Cornell has now scored first in 18 of its 21 contests
The Donaldson goal was the first of several chances for the Barron-Trevor Yates-Donaldson line that has struggled in its last couple games
“Donny hit a post, Morgan hit a post, [Yates] hit a post They didn ’ t have an evens t re n g t h s c o r i n g chance [Friday],” said head coach Mi k e S c h a f e r ’ 8 6 “ [ I ] m e t w i t h t h e m t h i s morning and said they got to pull their weight I thought they came o u t a n d t h e y p l a y e d h a rd tonight ” “ We’ve been not too happy with our performances,” Yates said of his line “ We haven’t been c re a t i n g a s m a n y c h a n c e s Tonight we got back to the sim-

Ithaca College and Cornell Create Direct Borrowing Program
LIBRARY
Continued from page 3
of Chicago, Duke University, John Hopkins University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Borrow Direct was “ a means of getting books to each other a little faster,” Wilcox said The program “ creates a shared catalog” that allows the partners to “ move books much quicker to each other,” Wilcox said “It was really just a faster Interlibrary loan between us ” The “natural extension” of the Borrow Direct evolved to allow members of the partner institutions to take out books directly from the institution
“It just made a lot of sense to get rid of the barriers associated with sharing materials.”
W e n d y W i l c o x
“Once we had those relationships and people were used to getting those books from Borrow Direct, we would see a lot of people go visit those actual institutions,” Wilcox said “We saw that this was the natural expectation
our users wanted ”
Using the existing framework of the Borrow Direct program, Cornell was able to create the new partnership with Ithaca College When looking to see other institutions that would be good partners to expand the program, “Ithaca College couldn’t be a better partner, ” Wilcox said “They are right here in our town, [have an] undergraduate population, and they have several master programs It just made a lot of sense to get rid of the barriers associated with sharing materials,” Wilcox said Wilcox talked of how coordinating programs between libraries takes careful planning Different schools have different systems of organizing their libraries
“It was complicated,” Wilcox said “Figuring out how we would manage the logistics took a lot of time to work out ”
Three people have already gone to Ithaca College to use the service, and several people have come to the Cornell libraries, according to Wilcox “It is pretty exciting and I think people also agree it makes sense ”

Red Dominates Brown, Harvard For 80th Straight Ivy Win
Talented freshman class continues to play crucial part on road to 16th consecutive Ivy League title
By JACK KANTOR Sun Assistant Sports Editor
W i t h c o n v i n c i n g h o m e w i n s o v e r
Brown and Har vard this weekend, the Cornell wrestling team has now gone 80 straight contests since its last loss to an Ivy League opponent
The win also takes the Red one step closer to its 16th consecutive Ivy League title
Cornell (7-2, 2-0 Ivy) defeated the Bears (2-5, 0-1) and Crimson (3-2, 0-1) b y h e f t y m a r g i n s o f 2 7 - 9 a n d 3 5 - 3 , respectively With the Red winning at least its first four matches in both duals, the home team ’ s success was never in much doubt
“Coach Koll is a real strong believer that there is no such thing as a rebuilding year
Despite only losing a total of four matches, head coach Rob Koll believes his team still could have posted a better performance
“I don’t mean to not be thankful for the wins, but we always expect to be better, ” Koll said “ There were some close matches that were disappointing ”
Several losses against Brown could be accounted for with sophomores Fredy Stroker (157) and Adam Santoro (165)
m ov i n g d ow n a n d u p we i g h t c l a s s e s , respectively However, it was junior Ben Ho n i s ’ o n e - p o i n t l o s s a t h e a v y w e i g h t which disappointed Koll
“Heavyweight was disappointing, losing it at the ver y end,” he said “And I felt t h a t we we re va s t l y s u p e r i o r a n d we shouldn’t have lost that one ”
Ne v e r t h e l e s s , a l l 1 0 o f C o r n e l l ’ s wrestlers managed to pick up at least one
win on the day, with freshmen No 4

Darmstadt and freshman No 11 Max
Dean have all eclipsed 20 wins in their freshman campaigns
These young grapplers are also continuing to impress and show that they are more than able to carr y on the program ’ s tradition of success, even in an environment with a high expectation of success
“Coach Koll is a real strong believer that there is no such thing as a rebuilding year and we are those tools to say no to t h e r e b u i l d i n g , ” D a r m s t a d t s a i d
“[However] I don’t think there is any pressure We work so hard in the room
that we just come in and do what we know we can do ”
“Pressure is something you put on yourself,” Diakomihalis added “If you don’t feel that pressure, there’s no pressure, so it’s just in your head And we are confident in coaches If they believe in us, we believe in ourselves ”
The key trio of freshmen have demonstrated an undaunting attitude thus far in the season, with Dean, Diakomihalis and Darmstadt at 11, 17 and 19 bonus point wins respectively Darmstadt in par ticular is a bonus point machine, with 86 percent of his matches resulting in bonus point victories an unprecedented rate, according to Koll
“[Darmstadt] just gives you a spark,”
he said “ When you know you have an anchor like that at 197, you ’ re going to get not just a win but a bonus point ” As long as Darmstadt and his fellow freshman continue to contribute in a m e a n

ICERS CLINCH 22ND IVY LEAGUE TITLE
Angello’s hat trick, Galajda’s shutout down Harvard
By RAPHY GENDLER Sun Staff Writer
Two pivotal games against nemesis Harvard this season, two last-second goals for Cornell men ’ s hockey Only Friday this time on the road it was significantly less dramatic than the thrilling game-winner in November
Junior forward Anthony Angello earned himself a natural hat trick on an empty net goal from center ice with one second remaining Friday, securing his team ’ s 3-0 win much to the delight of a raucous traveling Cornell fan base
“This is our home away from home, in a way, ” Angello said “I think our band is three times as loud as theirs and our fans maybe even a little louder ”
Freshman goaltender Matt Galajda certainly looked right at home between the pipes at Bright-Landry hockey center, also known as “Lynah East,” making 35 saves and earning his third consecutive shutout, a first for a Cornell freshman Galajda extended his shutout streak to 220 minutes and 30 seconds, contending for secondbest in program history
With the victor y, Cornell maintains both its unbeaten streak and its place atop the ECAC standings
“I don’t think it was that pretty, ” said head coach Mike Schafer ’86 “It was a gutty performance on the road to get two points ”
Never one to oversell his performance, Galajda said he looked forward to building on the momentum and extending his team ’ s stretch of success in a key matchup with Dartmouth Saturday
“The puck seems to be bouncing my way right now and we’ll keep it rolling tomorrow night,” Galajda said His sixth shutout of the season is the most for a freshman in Cornell history
Angello, now with nine goals in his last nine games, led the way offensively for Cornell (17-2-1, 11-1-1 ECAC) with his ninth, 10th and 11th goals of the season To back up the offensive production, Galajda dominated yet again as Cornell’s b

Dartmouth win brings Red unbeaten streak to 10
By RAPHY GENDLER Sun Staff Writer
Thanks to a stifling penalty kill and yet another goal from junior forward Anthony Angello, Cornell men ’ s hockey clinched the program ’ s 22nd Ivy League title on Saturday with a 3-1 win over Dartmouth
The win, paired with Clarkson’s tie with Brown, means the Red is now in sole possession of first place in the ECAC
A back-and-forth affair saw the Red (18-2-1, 12-1-1 ECAC) and Dartmouth (8-11-2, 6-7-1) enter the second period all knotted up at one Two Dartmouth power plays in immediate succession looked like a momentum shifter for the host Green, which entered the contest with recent wins against top-five teams Denver and Clarkson
