Prison Ed Program Receives $1M

Grant will allow CPEP to expand services to more facilities

tiatives to strengthen the humanities, arts, higher education and cultural heritage,” according to the foundation’s website

The Cornell Prison Education Program received a $1 million grant from The Mellon Foundation on Thursday, which will allow the program to double its presence in central New York correctional facilities, according to Rob Scott, executive director of CPEP

“We offer more than 30 courses right now with over 100 students within prison walls,” Scott said “With this grant, we’ll jump to over 60 classes a year and probably more than 200 students once it’s fully implemented ”

“The Mellon Foundation has a long-standing history with Cornell as sponsors of humanities scholarship and education,” Scott said

“The program puts a face behind [statistics about prisons], centering the voices often overlooked in academics.”

The program currently offers courses taught by Cornell faculty and graduate students at Auburn Correctional Facility and Cayuga Correctional Facility So far, CPEP has held two commencement ceremonies

the first in 2012 and the most recent in 2014 and conferred more than 15 associate degrees to inmates each time

The grant money will enable CPEP to expand its services to Five Points Correctional Facility and Elmira Correctional Facility

The million-dollar grant comes from the Andrew W Mellon Foundation, which “ supports a wide range of ini-

CPEP was established to provide a college education to the region’s inmates and to engage Cornell faculty and students to the incarcerated population, according to the program ’ s website The program, unique among Cornell’s Ivy League peers, has been offering courses for credit to inmates without charging tuition or fees since 1999

“In the past decade, we went from barely offering one or two credit-bearing courses to now basically being the leading institution for higher education in prison in the entire region,” Scott said Amber Aspinall ’17, a teaching assistant for CPEP, said she has been interested in the criminal justice system since grade school and that the program has become the focus of her academic life at Cornell

“The Prison Education Program gave me an opportunity to go into a prison and learn with some of the brightest people I have ever met, ” Aspinall said “Most of

Dozens Gather to Celebrate Eid at Annual Banquet

By ALEXA ESKENAZI

Sun Contributor

One hundred and thir ty people packed into the Biotechnology Building on Saturday for Cornell’s annual Eid al-Adha Banquet, which boasted an upbeat atmosphere and diverse crowd

People who attended the banquet represented a variety of cultures and backgrounds, according to Hasna Zainul ’17, treasurer of the Muslim Educational and Cu l t u r a l A

Approximately 20 percent of attendees were not MECA members, Zainul said

MECA members decorated the banquet room in a scheme of blue and yellow, with the back wall draped in an ornate paper tapestr y covered with gold camels The backdrop was used for group pictures as guests walked in

As old friends and ne wcomers mingled and exchanged “Eid Mubarak” messages, MECA President Ehab Ebeid ’18 and member Ama Frederickson ’17 rang in the night with a recitation and translation of the Quran

The audience was taken by surprise by a twist on traditional Eid celebrations when Syed Samin ’19 took the stage and beat-boxed A sle w of remarks could be heard echoing around the room, with one wide-eyed obser ver citing how “this is pretty different” from the norm Children clapped along with the beat, dancing along the side of the banquet hall

The per formance and its accompanying reactions reflected the spirit of the night, as mentioned by keynote s p e a k e r Fi y y a z Ja a t , t h e Is l a m i c So c i e t y o f No r t h

America’s youth programming and ser vices director

Jaat spoke on the point of unison transcending religious and cultural differences, saying there is a disparity per taining to the Muslim obser vance of Eid

“ There are two ways which people can determine

when to celebrate Eid calculating and moon sighting,” Jaat said “ Where should our hear ts be? No matter what my position is, I will defend the other one no matter what ”

When asked if the banquet goes along with the usual traditions associated with Eid, Akida Erken grad, who is from China, said it ver y much resembled her family’s Eid celebrations back home

“In China for Eid, ever yone opens their doors and welcomes anyone, no matter if they are Muslim or not We will prepare lots of food,” Erken said “Last year, our family had over 100 visitors for Eid ”

The same vie w of Eid and the banquet as a time to come together was echoed by Ali Moeed grad, who is from Pakistan

“Eid back home means getting together with family a

Muslims here at Cornell come from different communities, even culturally this event is diverse It is more often a cultural than a religious event here; this is more of a cultural gathering ”

Ebeid, who is from Egypt, echoed the cultural significance of the banquet, citing it as a great oppor tunity to showcase the culture and the Islamic community at Cornell

“A lot of the Muslims here like to invite their friends who may not necessarily be Muslim,” Ebeid said “One thing that I really love is how this really showcases the type of events that MECA organizes which are just so inclusive in nature We pride ourselves on being anti-sectarian and being inclusive of all traditions of Islamic thought and practice The banquet really brings that to life ”

When asked what Eid means to him, Ebeid said he saw it as a familial affair

“Eid to me is about going around to visit ever y single member of our family who is in proximity,” Ebeid said

Sorority Honors Hazing Victims C.U. Clubs Host Syria Forum

By JAMIL RAHMAN

Sun Contributor

On Wednesday, sisters of the alpha Kappa Delta Phi sorority at Cornell held a Remembrance Vigil to commemorate those who have been affected, are currently affected by or have passed away from hazing

This event was a part of the chapter’s “Comfort in your Community” series, which took place during National Hazing Prevention Week and featured several events focused on hazing prevention

At the vigil, students read various testimonies and excerpts from stories on hazing One such piece of testimony included excerpts from a paper titled “Hazed and Confused” written by Adam Zwecker ’04

In 2003, Zwecker wrote his paper for an independent study with the support of two professors at Cornell The vigil event focused specifically on an excerpt called “Woods Night,” which detailed Zwecker’s experience of being blindfolded and hazed as part of his second pledge activity with the fraternity he was pledging for in 2000

Since the “Comfor t in your Community” series aimed to touch upon different aspects of hazing, members of the

sorority said they felt this piece would illustrate how destructive hazing can be

“We wanted students to really think back into their experiences and grapple with this idea because, often times, those affected by hazing in the past didn’t consider it hazing because of this concept of uninformed consent, ” Nina Kitele ’17 said “I think we ultimately chose Zwecker’s paper because of the compelling nature of his story and because it just touched upon so many different ideas about hazing that are not often discussed ”

In addition to the vigil, the sorority raised awareness about the different dimensions of hazing by holding several other events throughout the week, which included informational tables, a photo campaign and a hazing workshop hosted by Gannett

“A big aim for our week of events was to educate the members of the Cornell community by informing students that hazing comes in all different forms, dispelling myths about hazing, educating the community about hazing practices that may not be so clear cut and informing the community about resources for how to actually help,”

For many students, the event was an educational experience

the time, we study numbers, statistics and theories The program puts a face behind them, centering the voices often overlooked in academics ”

Having spent three semesters assisting instructors at Auburn Correctional Facility, Sophie Allen ’16 noted that the students often engage their coursework with an enthusiasm that often times exceeds that of her peers back at Cornell

“At Auburn, people are jumping out of their seats to answer questions,” Allen said “In addition to bettering their employment prospects after incarceration, education for them is about learning It’s about expanding their minds ” Allen also said she believes education in prison benefits those beyond the individual students

“The ability to say ‘ my dad is getting a degree’ rather than ‘ my dad is in prison’ is huge,” Allen said Interaction between the students also improves through their education, according to Scott The cultural climate in prison settings often divides inmates based upon race and ethnicity In the classroom, these barriers are broken down

and connections are fostered through shared academic work

“Universities could do a world of good in helping to shift the prison culture,” Scott said “In a long term prison, people will often associate in racialized gangs for protection

We create a multicultural space ” Evidence indicates that education continues to benefit the inmates after their release by reducing recidivism, according to the CPEP website

“The primary impact that the program is designed to have is in the prison system, but a very close second is the impact on the volunteers from campus who are transformed by engaging the complexity of the human situation in prison,” Scott said

Aubrie James grad, a teaching assistant for CPEP, said the program has had a large impact on her

“I think one of the first steps in solving the problems of the prison system is to raise awareness that the problems exist,” James said “In CPEP, I have firsthand experience to share with others what's going on in the prisons It makes me feel like a responsible citizen ”

Cornell Student United Way, led by president Elizabeth Joyce ’16, is having two main events this year to raise funds the ninth annual A Capella

‘Well It Is Ithaca; You Never Know’:

BY ALI JENKINS Sun Staff Writer

Paula Poundstone, standup comedian and star of National Public Radio’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, recently traveled to Ithaca to perform at the State Theatre She strode onto stage right after 8 p m with a florescent pink suit and an enormous presence For the next two hours, she engaged the audience with her informal comedy routine Known for never performing the same routine twice, she mixed old jokes together with improvisational banter with the audience for an evening full of laughs

Poundstone began the night by poking fun at Ithaca itself, sarcastically explaining how thrilled she was by her timing: “What is it, the Apple Festival or something? Oh, well then I timed it just right ” At a later point, she heard some crinkling in the audience and asked if someone was passing around a loaf of bread “Well it is Ithaca,” she conceded “You never know ” Although Ithaca was the butt of many jokes, Poundstone did remark on the beauty of the area several times Poundstone also spent several minutes talking about Mayor Svante Myrick ’09, who was not at the event but whom she met earlier in the day She told the audience he was the “ cutest little fellow I ever did see ” She went on to comment that Ithaca is the only place that you can find a “10-year-old mayor, ” and that since it was past the mayor ’ s bedtime we would probably have a “fussy mayor in the morning ” Though the audience members laughed at the mayor ’ s expense, the crowd was clearly comprised of many of his supporters When Poundstone asked if he is a good mayor, she received an enthusiastic “ yes ” from the crowd along with applause Poundstone was very open about her political and religious leanings and she spent a large portion of the beginning of the show on current events She explained that she did more Popewatching than she expected to as an atheist and remarked, “You know I thought it was great that he went around saying we should take care of one another and love one another and we should work our problems out and work as a team I thought it was embarrassing that the Congress didn’t know that already ” She went on to pick apart a woman ’ s comment that the Pope was extraordinary simply because his first words

after being elected were “good evening” instead of the traditional “ my brothers and sisters ” Poundstone stated, “If ‘good evening’ is extraordinary, hold on to your hats because I’m going to blow you the fuck away tonight ”

The political tone of her jokes was overwhelmingly progressive At one point, she expressed her dismay at the

COURTESY OF PAULA POUNDSTONE

Republican candidates, imitating the goldfish-like facial expression of Donald Trump She stated that we might have dumbed ourselves down enough as a society at this point that “Trump can make his move now Luckily, she had the right audience for her political statements In contrast to some of her experiences in the South, her political jokes went over well with the Ithaca crowd She even recounted the time in which she was accused of being a “rich, stupid Liberal,” to which she

countered that she may be a “stupid Liberal” but she wasn ’ t rich

Poundstone wove some of her personal life into her comedy as well, bringing her three kids into many jokes She shared with the audience that she has a 17-year-old son, which she claims “is just about the worst thing that can happen to a person ” She said that she gets so tired of arguing with her son that sometimes after he goes to sleep she goes back into her room and just completes her sentences She connected this back to the book she recently published, titled There’s Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say Each chapter in the book compares her life with that of a historical figure, such as Abraham Lincoln, and the entire work focuses heavily on parenting

Later, Poundstone went on to explain her view on technology in schools She stated, “In schools, they don’t write [ ] PowerPoint is the enemy of education and intelligent oration ” Going to the audience, she asked if anyone had to use PowerPoints regularly A college student in the audience told Poundstone about her PowerPoint slides about “immersive theater ” Poundstone took her time dissecting this term, acting out her interpretations, and trying to understand its meaning She returned to the topic of “immersive theater” many times throughout the night

This audience interaction was a common occurrence in Poundstone’s show She took great pleasure in calling audience members out and asking them what they did for a living and where they worked, before turning the responses into impromptu jokes This technique gave the event a breath of fresh air, as much of the routine was unscripted and personalized for the Ithaca crowd She did express her surprise at the hesitancy of the crowd to engage with her banter, concluding that she must be ignorant of the Ithaca culture However, many audience members did call out jokes throughout the show and it was overall an interactive performance

She finished with a final reference to NPR: “I’m actually always happy to talk about Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me publicly because I d like to clear up this misconception: Yes, I m trying to win!”

BY NICK SWAN Sun Staff Writer

On Saturday night, the Department of Theatre Arts at Ithaca College performed its public debut of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It In addition to launching the comedy's individual production run, this marks the beginning of the department's 2015-2016 theatre season, which will consist of other well-known classics like A Chorus Line and more modern dramas like Arcadia

One of Shakespeare’s 38 plays, As You Like It was written in 1599, and published in the First Folio in 1623; the origins of its initial performances are unclear Of the three “ genres ” present in the First Folio, As You Like It is considered to be a comedy As You Like It centers around Rosalind and her unexpected journey through the Forest of Arden, to where she and her cousin, Celia, are cast away from the court by her ruthless uncle, Duke Frederick At some point before the play’s events, Frederick had claimed the throne from and exiled his brother, Rosalind’s father, to the Forest of Arden Before Rosalind is expelled, however, she meets Orlando de Boys In true Shakespearean fashion, the two fall in love at first sight Orlando is also forced out of the kingdom and into the Forest of Arden by his oppressive older brother, Oliver Initially, neither of the two lovers know that they are both cast away in the forest Rosalind, disguised as a boy named Ganymede, Celia, disguised as another woman named Aliena and Touchstone, the court ’ s jester, set off through the woods They encounter many eccentric characters like Jacques, a member of the old duke’s exiled party Jacques possesses a pensive, “melancholy” nature, and his constant philosophical monologues lead him to mutter some of Shakespeare’s most

famous lines, including “All the world’s a stage / And all the men and women merely players ” Ganymede (Rosalind) soon encounters Orlando, and eventually she lifts her disguise, marrying Orlando in the forest Furthermore, Celia marries a newly reformed Oliver and Frederick, who has recently turned to a life devoted to religion, restores Rosalind's father to the throne

Performing a Shakespeare play in the 21st century can be quite difficult for contemporary theatre companies and departments As Shakespeare was limited by the strict norms and basic technology of stage acting, the development of his plays lies primarily within their verses Therefore, those who perform his plays are responsible for bringing the verses to life, and filling them with a splendid emotion that captures the audience's attention This can be a daunting task; at a first glance, Shakespeare’s early modern English appears to be lacking in any sense, and only through careful subsequent readings does its meaning begin to convey itself Nevertheless, I was compelled by the refinement and professionalism evident in the I C player ’ s performance of As You Like It

Each actor possessed a certain quality in their deliverance that truly channeled the wit and emotional spectrum present in the playwright's work Perhaps most exemplary of this emotional command was senior Brianna Ford in the role of Rosalind Ford portrayed Rosalind (and Ganymede) in a jovial, energetic way which captivated the audience Far from merely muttering the lines, she brought to each verse a physicality – whether in literal skips and jumps or in facial expression when communicating with other characters – that satisfied the original challenge of bringing Shakespeare to life Possessing a similar emotional presence was junior Trevor Eichhorn, who portrayed Jaques One could identify with the philosophical brooding of Jacques, whether he be demanding more music to satiate his melancholy intel-

lectual appetite or musing over the seven life-stages of man Director Catherine Weidner took advantage of the intimate, arena-style seating of the Clark Theatre In many instances, the actors moved about and around the center of the room, with different characters entering and exiting from any of the four sides; this created a three-dimensional, rotating effect that allowed the audience members to fully submerse themselves in the scenes of the play The transitions from scene to scene and act to act were seamless, giving the comedy life as its lines flowed freely across time The Forest of Arden, a quintessential setting of the play, was introduced skillfully; the “parade” of characters that passed through the center field accurately showcased the more liberating nature of the forest in contrast to the strictness of the court Furthermore, I particularly enjoyed how the musical scenes in As You Like It were addressed; the actors, singing themselves, applied Shakespeare’s lyrics to more contemporary melodies, and played the underlying chord progressions on six-string, acoustic guitars As a contemporary audience may have difficulty identifying with musical ideas of Shakespeare’s time, this modernization of the play's music was crucial in giving life to the play in 2015 This effective and skillful modernization also exists in the characters’ costumes, which represent fashion more so of the past century rather than that of Shakespearean times

The theatre department at Ithaca College produced an excellent rendition of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It Through carefully refined acting and modern directing techniques, this centuries-old play was vividly brought to life As You Like It will run until Oct 10, so I implore all to see it while it lasts!

Now, your personal favorite may var y; if you had friends, you probably played a lot of SSBM, if you had an ignorant parent that you could trick into purchasing GTA, you did If you didn’t meet either of those criteria, hollah, we totes should have had a sleepover and played THPS3

T h e s t r a n g e s t t h i n g i s I couldn’t even tell you why the To n y H a w k g a m e s w e r e m y favorite as a child You see, I am not what one would call “ spor ty ”

o r “ a t h l e t i c ” o r “ l o c o m o t i ve ”

I’m more Squid than Reggie or Otto My favorite par t of baseball games are the hotdogs I once dashed off a soccer field in tears and never looked back I’ve never ridden a skateboard in real life, but I had real cred on the PlayStation 2 I must have p l a y e d e v e r y e n t r y b e t w e e n

T H P S 2 a n d D o w n h i l l Ja m , w h i c h k i l l e d i t f o r m e I mean, what was that anyway, a racing game? I especially loved Tony Hawk s Underground and its sequel, Underground 2, which I believe were the tr ue innovators of the series For the first time, you could get off your board and just do other stuff Like graffiti or driving vehicles, for some reason It also introduced Eric Sparrow, the worst

a s s h a t e ve r w r i t t e n i n t o e x i stence I just remembered that I went through a serious Viva La Bam phase during this period I ask for privacy during this difficult time

I don’t have an explanation as to why I played the Tony Hawk

g a m e s s o re l i g i o u s l y I w a s n ’ t really interested in skateboarding, after all I haven’t played a s p o r t s v i d e o g a m e s i n c e , Wi i

S p o r t s a n d s o m e p a t h e t i c attempts at FIFA aside The only reason I can come up with is that the Tony Hawk games were good Really, really good

And that’s a complete and utter cop-out The gameplay skate around, do some tricks, string some tricks into combos, spell S-K-A-T-E with floating letters, collect some inexplicable VHS tapes was immutable and consistent If you flipped before you grabbed, you did an Anti-Casper and if you grabbed before you flipped, you did a Tr uckstand, end of stor y What it lacked in innovation, it made up for in dependability, transplanted from one location to

Alcatraz

you were

into

o I thought

Earlier this month, my brother shot me a text out of the blue “ They’re releasing a pro skater 5 [sic] ” Of course, this came as a shock The Tony Hawk series has been in limbo since 2007 when Neversoft, the series’ long-time developer, was restructured by Activision and given command of the Guitar Hero series instead Ever y entr y since has been

micks, culminating in the coup de grace of the Tony Hawk series: the Ride skateboard peripheral The entire point of the series was to skateboard without having to a c t u a l l y s k a t

! It w a s a betrayal of all the things we held dear about the games They never quite recovered I was excited at the prospect of a ne w Pro Skater; the name a l o n e i n s p i r e d h o p e f o r t h e game, a return to form for a genre that fell by the wayside years ago My hope was shor tlived, however Revie ws for Pro Skater 5 are universal in the savageness of their evisceration I mean, Super man 64-level awful If you manage to get past the d r e a d e d l o a d i n g s c r

n b o s s w i t h o u t h a v i n g y o u r c o n s o l e lock-up, you are doomed to a l i f e o f f a l l i n g t h r o u g h t h e ground, taking off a half-pipe into low orbit, and spontaneously dying at the slightest bump They’ve also added the ability to g r o u n d

because that’s something skateboarders can do On the bright side, you can play as Lil Wayne, so there’s that I w i l l n o t b e b u y i n g Pr o Sk a t e r 5 , a n d n e i t h e r s h o u l d you I will take the next fe w days to reflect on one of the greatest video game series ever made, and then promptly move on Better to let the series live in the past, bathed in the warm glow of n o s t a l g i a , t h

From the Editor

On CornellSun.com

The Sun’s website has experienced multiple periods of downtime since the beginning of the semester, most recently being offline for the past two weeks While we provided a temporary blog where we continued to publish our new content, this has provided a less than ideal reading experience As of this weekend, we have restored access to cornellsun com after working with both our student-web team and alumni Although we are continuing to work to resolve many of the problems facing our website and restoring features our readers have come to expect most notably our backlog of archives we at The Sun are dismayed over our inability to reach the high standards you have set for us

Our online presence has been the topic of conversation for quite some time now, with our website occasionally facing difficulties over the past two years While our website is now online at cornellsun com, we have plenty of work to complete before we are satisfied with our online presence These problems are frustrating not only for our readers, who expect more from The Sun, but also for us Moving forward, we will work to improve our online presence, which will culminate with the launch of a new website that will provide a vastly enhanced reader experience for all the latest Cornell and Ithaca news

As we work to address these issues, we will provide you with all the latest information on our progress We apologize for any inconveniences our downtime has caused since the beginning of the school year Please feel free to contact me at editor@cornellsun com if you have any questions or concerns you would like to voice

They really did tr y to flip the narrative of the season In the early part of the 2015 season, the Cornell football team had been on the wrong end of comebacks during its first two games Down 27 points in the fourth quarter, the Red (0-3, 0-1 Ivy League) had a chance to make Colgate University (2-3) feel the pain, just like they had when they dropping massive leads to Bucknell and Yale

Indeed, with the luck of the draw, Cornell’s record could be looking at itself in the mirror and the Red could be the most surprising undefeated team in the Ivy League A stop on

Instead, all that came out of the first night game at Schoellkopf field was more pain Coming 10 yards short of a touchdown on the last drive of the game, the win would have changed the team ’ s fortunes Instead, the Red dropped the contest to the Raiders, 28-21, and fell to 03 on the season “ We [were] so close,” said senior wide receiver Ben

Morgan Roberts and a completed pass from Somborn 10 yards out against Colgate, and the Red could be undefeated on the year

Instead, the Red has experienced fourthquarter heartbreak, a feeling that it has known all too well so far this season This time, coming so close, the pain was just as bad for head coach

Cornell Loses First Game to Army

By SHAN DHALIWAL Sun Staff Writer

The Army West Point sprint football program can never be taken lightly A powerful rushing defense combined with a penetrating offense makes reaching the end zone against this powerhouse nearly impossible

The Cornell sprint football team dropped this past Saturday’s conference game to the Black Knights, 33-0, and ultimately fell to 2-1 on the season The

Knights were coming off an 86-0 victory over Princeton the previous week and have yet to give up a point all season In three games, the Knights have outscored their opponents 1530

Senior wide receiver Trevor Marrero, who received for 123 yards in the game, described the Red’s preparation in practice prior to facing the Knights

“Offensively, I know we tried to do some more shots down the field in the passing game, ” he said “We also prepared a lot for Army's rushing attack in practice ”

Army got on the board early with a 30-yard first quarter touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Brady Miller to junior wide receiver Austin Breed The Red responded late in the quarter with a reception from sophomore defensive back Karriem Royster, but could not convert the change in possession to a touchdown Junior quarterback Rob Pannullo passed for 140 yards despite the loss, completing a monster 50-yard pass to Marrero early in the second quarter that brought the Red to the 22 The Red was not able to penetrate Army’s defense from there, and another pass from Miller to Breed late in the second quarter this time of 23 yards combined with a safety in the middle of the quarter put the Knights up, 16-0, at halftime

The Knights had two rushing touchdowns and a field goal in the second half to finish off the game

A combination of strong rushing offense and defense made the difference for the Knights in the matchup Led by junior running back Marqus Burrell, who rushed for a net gain of 92 yards, the Knights out-rushed the Red 162 to 23 They also administered five sacks

There were highlights to the Red’s performance despite the loss The strong offensive connection between Pannullo and Marrero was clearly evident, with Pannullo passing for 140 yards and Marrero receiving for 123 Defensively, junior linebacker John Zelek administered six solo tackles and CSFL defensive player of the week Christopher D’Ambrosio had five of his own to lead a defense that held Army to its lowest point total on the season

Nevertheless, the Red will have to practice hard this week to regain positive momentum for its second home game of the season against rival Penn on Friday

“We are going to put the mistakes we made this Saturday behind us and focus on Penn,” Marrero said “They are off to a good start this year, also at 2-1, so it will be a great match up ”
