Governor Demands New SUNY Sexual Assault Policies

By SOFIA HU

Senior Writer

Under an order by Governor Andrew Cuomo (DN Y ), all State University of New York schools will have to adopt a new, comprehensive sexual assault policy within 60 days his address, given Thursday

Cuomo said the new SUNY policy will eventually lead to a statewide, sexual assault law covering all universities in the state, according to The New York Times

Addressing the SUNY Board of Trustees, Cuomo called sexual assault an “epidemic ”

“It is spreading And it is pervasive It’s plaguing our

college campuses, it’s astonishing and it’s troubling,” he said in his speech Thursday

Following Cuomo’s address, the SUNY Board of Trustees passed a memorandum to establish a uniform sexual assault prevention and response plan for all 64 SUNY campuses

Among many changes, the new policy will define consent as a “clear, unambiguous and voluntary agreement, ” resembling legislation signed into law on Sept 28 in California establishing the “ yes means yes ” definition of consent

The new definition for affirmative consent at SUNY campuses now reads, “Consent is clear, knowing and vol-

Garrett Re ects on Addressing Student Issues at USC

GARRETT

Continued from page 1

similar to Cornell in the diversity of its student body We have no majority, racial or ethnic groups in our student body

Another area I’ve been very proud to have been part of is emphasizing first-generation college goers in our undergraduate class Fourteen percent of USC’s entering undergraduate class are first-generation college goers And I think Cornell has a similar emphasis on that kind of diversity of socioeconomic and often racial and ethnic diversity that can be reflected in first-generation college goers We has have 18 percent of our entering class at USC who are Pell grant eligible Again, that shows economic diversity that I think is very important

One of the things we did last year is we ’ ve looked at the diversity in our undergraduate student body One of the struggles I think all of us in higher education have been facing is making sure to have African American students comprise a significant part of our undergraduate class and participate with us in this great experience So we made a targeted effort last year to increase the number of African Americans in the undergraduate class by going to high schools where we knew that there were a significant number of African American students graduating and discussing with them the opportunities at USC We were able to change that number quite

significantly in this years class Those are some of the kinds of things that I think are important to do as you think about building a diverse undergraduate class from the admissions standpoint

We also at USC since I’ve been provost have been identifying segments of our student population that may not sometimes feel as connected as other parts or may face particular challenges in various kinds of aspects of higher education, and we ’ ve made a targeted outreach For example, international students, comprise of about 17 percent of our entering class and I know they are a substantial part of Cornell’s student body You know, they have some different challenges than domestic students they’re further away from home, they may face cultural difference that are surprising to them [and] sometimes they don’t graduate in the same numbers as others at USC We have been doing very targeted outreach for international undergraduate students and our graduate students, and making sure they feel at home and comfortable Similarly with some of the racial and ethnic groups, we work very hard to make sure that they feel both integrated and also supported as groups That’s the sort of broad description of how we ’ ve thought about it at USC on the student side, and I would want to continue those sorts of efforts because as I’ve said, I think diversity is not only fundamental to Cornell’s founding and in Cornell’s DNA, but because I

think it is what makes the university experience in the United States such a special one

S U N : This summer you announced sweeping changes across USC in regards to the issue of sexual assault and sexual violence, including bystander intervention programs, changes to the campus code of conduct and a mandatory online module for all students Could you speak about what prompted those changes and whether you think similar programs could help benefit Cornell?

E G : This is actually the second time I’ve done this Since I’ve been provost, one of the things that we have done is pretty much ever y year we have taken a hard look at our policies relating to sexual assault and violence and made sure that they are consistent with federal and state guidelines and that they reflect the very best practices that we know, given our experience and what we ’ ve learned In August, I released another memo with details some of the changes we were making, and they were based on some changes in the state and federal law In California, a new law has just been passed defining consent, and we were part of the drafting of

that bill We worked with the state legislature, so we were aware of the bill before it passed, and we had already changed our policies to reflect what California law is now

In addition, we were putting into place some training that we ’ re learning in higher education is particularly effective in combating the scourge of sexual assault and violence, like bystander education

“[Sexual assault] is fundamentally incompatible with the university environment As a community we have to be very clear that such behavior is unacceptable ”

Again, and this will sound like what I said about hazing, I believe we cannot tolerate sexual violence, assault, intimidation or harassment on our c a m p u s e s That is fund a m e n t a l l y incompatible with the university environment As a community, we have to be very clear that such behavior is unacceptable, and that has been my position since I became provost

With respect to my position as president of Cornell, that is not going to change Those are just unacceptable behaviors, and as a community, we cannot tolerate them We must avoid them, and if people violate those policies, they have to be punished

ered to intervene before a bad situation can develop As members of a caring community, if we see someone who is vulnerable, who is in danger, we have to that we have the power to intervene to protect them

SUN : What do you think is a University’s role in addressing global issues, and in particular, climate change and sustainability?

E G : I think we have two roles in [addressing climate change and sustainability] First, universities are the best places to find solutions to problems because we have the very best minds, we have the very best disciplines working together [and] we have the capacity in the academy to think about things in a rigorous and innovative way And not only to understand them, but then to move forward with them with practical innovations Of course, that has been Cornell’s background, that the Cornellian faculty work hard not only to figure out the right answers and to make discoveries, but then to take those discoveries out in the world I think that’s inherent in our landgrant mission and in the foundation of Cornell I think universities play an enormously important role in determining the problem and figuring out solutions

What I have gathered at Cornell and of course I want to listen a lot more is that many of the policies that I wrote about in my memo for USC are well underway at Cornell For example, I remember when I met with the students, I talked to somebody about the bystander efforts that you already undertake at Cornell, and I want to learn more about that, but it sounds like Cornell has moved very far along that path of effective bystander education in ensuring that all members of the Cornell community feel empow-

Secondly, universities need to be good global citizens I have been very intrigued and interested to read about President Skorton’s sustainability initiatives within the University and the goal of the University to take steps to reduce its carbon footprint, to think about values of sustainability in its activities and buildings I think universities can play two different roles as both the engines of solutions and taking actions within the universities that can reflect our commitment to being good global citizens

SUNY Revisits Assault Policy

SUNY

Continued from page 1

the Student Assembly, said he supports SUNY ’ s new policy

“I believe that it is a step in the right direction Consent must be mutual when partaking in any and all forms of sexual activity,” Titcomb said “I believe that Gov Cuomo’s policy for the SUNY schools will affect Cornell by helping to further define what consent actually is, hopefully helping administrators thoroughly prosecute sexual assailants ”

According to Titcomb, the change in SUNY ’ s sexual assault policy should prompt Cornell to update its own policy on discrimination, harassment and sexual assault and violence, titled “University Policy 6 4”

“Put bluntly, Policy 6 4 is ineffective,” Titcomb said “We need to foster an environment where survivors of sexual assault are able to come forward and report what happened to them rather than stigmatize and blame the survivors It is also important to remember that men can also be subjected to sexual assault and that sexual assault does not only happen in a heterosexual

context; men can prey on men and women can prey on women ”

Many students have also recently raised concerns about Policy 6 4 At the rally for the National Day of Protest Against Rape Culture last Tuesday, protesters left a mattress in front of Day Hall with the spray painted message, “Skorton, here is your oral warning We’re fighting back ”

The “oral warning” echoes terminology used in Policy 6 4, which states that disciplinar y action against Cornellians who commit sexual assault or violence can include an “oral warning ” Other disciplinary actions include suspension, dismissal and community work

According to Yamini Bhandari ’17, women ’ s issues liaison at large for the S A , while the University’s sexual policy may “have its flaws,” the policy is comparable to that of other institutions

“I think the problem for us is the fact that the policies are so confusing that it becomes a deterrent for most students to actually utilize them,” Bhandari said

NYSEG, Simeon’s Crash Add to Commons Delay

Continued from page 1

Alley and the 200 block of the Commons until next spring

According to Gar y Ferguson, executive director of the Downtown Ithaca Alliance, there are two major causes of the delay

“One was that the laying of the utilities really got complicated, particularly the ones that were outside of the control of project and those were the ones pretty much the gas and electric that were controlled by NYSEG,” Ferguson said

The second cause of delays, Ferguson said, “ was the [crash at Simeon’s] that happened over the summer, which certainly added some problems to the project ”

As a result of the delays and ongoing construction, Ferguson said that “the message was communicated last week [at the Common Council meeting] that a number of businesses have been adversely affected ”

Adil Grigiuhi, owner of Casablanca Pizzeria, who said that he had seen a 65 to 75 percent decrease in customers, stressed at the Common Council meeting last week of the impor tance of finishing constr uction as soon

as possible “ The job was promised to be done at a certain time and they changed the date, and then they changed it again We’re just sick and tired about hearing about all these delays,” Griguhi said “ The job has to be done so that life can go back to normal ”

Grigiuhi also said that if the lack of customers caused his business to close down it would be worse than bankruptcy to him

“I know that a lot of people are affected I don’t even have time for my family, I’m here all the time I’ve got to make money to pay some bills and pay ever ybody,” he said “ We have a lot of pressure, we have a lot of bills to pay ”

Jerr y Martins, who co-owns Now You’re Cooking on the Commons, also spoke at the Common Council meeting and said in addition to a promise of no more delays on the construction project, there were several proposed remedies that could alleviate the stress on businesses

According to Martins, the Commons should include features such as better lighting in the evening and more cross-throughs amid construction so customers could more easily access stores, as well as some electricity that would enable stores to put up Christmas lights in the

CHARLOTTESVILLE,

Va

winter

“ We also need the side-walk areas fixed up, because they’re really tough,” he added “Older people, people with baby-strollers or on walkers are really having a tough time, so they’re avoiding coming downtown and we also want to make a way for some free parking for customers to make it somewhat easier ”

As a response to the concerns of business owners, another meeting is scheduled for Thursday to allow merchants and Common Council members to discuss implementing proposed remedies to the disruptions caused by construction, according to Martins

While Martins said that he and other businesses were feeling the negative effects due to the continued construction, he said help from the city would help businesses weather the construction

“It’s not only the city that we need help from, we also need help from the people the students from Ithaca College and Cornell University they have to play their role to come down and shop The city can ’ t do ever ything by themselves,” Grigiuhi also added “Ever ybody has to chip in if they want to save downtown ”

Typhoon Hits Tokyo, Killing U.S. Airman Search for UVA Student Continues

TOKYO (AP) A powerful typhoon lashed southern Japan on Sunday, churning up high waves that washed three American airmen out to sea and killed at least one before taking aim at Tokyo

Elsewhere in the Pacific, a separate typhoon whipped the Mariana Islands, including Guam, with high winds and heavy rain

By late Sunday, Typhoon Phanfone was off the coast of Shikoku in southwestern Japan, with winds of up to 90 miles per hour after hitting the regions of Okinawa and Kyushu, Japan’s Meteorological Agency said

One of the three airmen was found dead The other two were missing, according to the Air Force and the Japanese coast guard

They had been on Okinawa island’s northern coast when they were overcome by the waves, according to Tsuguyoshi Miyagi

of the coast guard’s Okinawa branch

The Air Force said the search for the missing airmen had been interrupted by rough seas Their names were being withheld pending notification of relatives Okinawa is home to about half of the roughly 50,000 American troops stationed in Japan

Several people on Kyushu island were injured in the typhoon The storm also grounded more than 100 flights Sunday and knocked out power to more than 9,500 Kyushu homes

In Suzuka, in central Japan, a French driver was severely injured following an accident in the Japanese Grand Prix that had to be shortened because the heavy rain made conditions too dangerous Formula One driver Jules Bianchi of the Marussia team went off the track at a turn and hit a recovery vehicle that was removing a car that had crashed earlier

(AP) Charlottesville’s police chief said Sunday that an anguished statement from the parents of a missing University of Virginia student has given investigators fresh resolve to carry on with the difficult search of hundreds square miles of countryside

Police Chief Timothy Longo said that law enforcement is aggressively searching areas surrounding Charlottesville many of which are hilly or thick with brush for Hannah Graham,

who disappeared on Sept 13

He said he hopes that the plight of Hannah’s parents moves anyone who may have information about the disappearance to come forward

“This young lady disappeared She was taken Somebody has to know something Somebody has to have seen something,” he said in a short interview Sunday afternoon

A team of about 100 law enforcement officers and other trained searchers were combing

the countryside over the weekend for any sign of the college sophomore Teams have been searching every day since the 18-year-old student vanished

On Saturday, her parents made an emotional plea for whoever is responsible for the disappearance to help find their daughter In the videotaped statement, Sue Graham said: “Please, please, please help end this nightmare for all of us ” The Grahams also thanked law enforcement for their efforts

For Development

With Residents in Mind

LAST WEEK, DEVELOPER AND LANDLORD NICK LAMBROU unveiled his proposed development for 114 Catherine, a three-story apartment with 17 rooms on what currently is a five-car surface parking lot If approved, his proposal will join the other proposed developments in Collegetown that the City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board has been approving It would also follow the new zoning ordinance that the city implemented in Collegetown and is expected to be approved by the Board We at The Sun commend developers who are increasing the housing stock of the neighborhood in line with the progressive zoning ordinance that the city established, and we encourage other developers to do the same

While the Catherine Street development will still have to follow minimum parking requirements, many developers have been trying to build in Collegetown because of the new zoning code Since the city removed minimum parking requirements for many lots in the central Collegetown area with its Collegetown Area Form Districts plan in March, a burst of development proposals have been submitted to the Planning and Development Board for review Together, the new developments, if approved, would add hundreds of bedrooms to the Collegetown rental housing stock, which we hope will help moderate prices in a neighborhood that is increasingly pricing out all residents of Ithaca Successful developments would also be in line with other provisions of the city’s form-based zoning code, which ensures that new developments are designed to integrate with the existing housing stock, rather than be the new eyesores of the neighborhood The code also encourages buildings along busy streets to provide retail spaces on the ground floor, providing space for amenities that can be enjoyed by existing and new residents alike We support the city’s decision to increase the capacity and vitality of Collegetown through an innovative zoning ordinance, and support developers who are in the process of creating new developments that are up to this code

We at The Sun also commend developers that are following the code’s vision of an active neighborhood by incorporating amenities in their designs From a new bus shelter to a new grocery store, these new amenities will improve the quality of life for all residents in the neighborhood We encourage other developers to consider the current and future needs of Collegetown and incorporate solutions from the beginning, rather than as an afterthought We also encourage owners of vacant storefronts to make an effort to attract and retain businesses Together, these two actions will increase the vitality and livability of Collegetown today and in the future

Re: “President-Elect Garrett: Hazing ‘Unacceptable in Any Form’,” News, published October 3, 2014

semester There is the constant fear that I will graduate not k n o w i n g w h

n e x t Meanwhile, all of my senses constantly protest saying it is ludicrous to beat oneself up about what is to happen in the future and in the process be absolutely lost and distracted in the present There is however, an issue at hand Why is it that a college degree in the major we are passionate about is not the cornerstone of what makes us qualified for the real world? Must the curriculum be revised so that students do not have to scrape to land a spot in a summer job training session; where they teach you how to read the Wall Street Journal correctly on campus instead of at job training? Our university is constantly tr ying to get in touch with

Why is it that a college deg the major we are passionat about is not the cornerstone what makes us qualified fo the real word?

think that the faculty advising system should take care of that, but I do not think it is adequate enough, as a student always feels like he or she is encroaching on a faculty member’s valuable time when asking them the s i m p l e q u e s t i o n A q u e s t i o n like, “I am really confused and these are the subjects I really enjoy but I am not sure where or how to go ahead from here ” Ever y week there is a column in The Sun about the growing stress about what next all of it emerging from fear of rejection from jobs, graduate school, fellowships and all of that This s t r e s s i s v e r y t a n g i b l e a n d Cornell Minds Matter does an excellent job during exam week but the root of this stress is entrenched ver y deeply in the fear of failure in a world of increasing expectations and a d e c r e a s i n g time frame for success A m i d s t a l l of this, all the average, s t r u g g l i n g C o r n e l l i a n needs is to h e a r t h e i r p r o f e s s o r

e empty accolades which do not reflect any passion whatsoever and I hate ever y bit of it

It’s quite a dilemma at this point because I find myself sitting in the most engrossing lecture and straying onto CCNet (Cornell’s career ser vices portal) hunting for internships I find myself constantly preoccupied and consumed by the terror that there will not be a rewarding internship waiting for me at the end of my Junior year, and an opulent job offer waiting in

what the student community wants Well, this is what we need: In the midst of this ratrace, we need a credible, sensible, adult maybe our professors or advisors telling us that it is okay When we walk into a career ser vices session, the first thing we are asked to figure out is what we want to do with our lives However, before we can even start making our minds, we fall for the glamour of one d re a m i n t e r n s h i p o r a n o t h e r w i t h o u t g i v i n g i t m u c h thought In this world of relentless marketing by ever y firm in existence to attract students of all sorts, it is ver y easy to lose touch with who we really are and the passions that accompanied us to Cornell One would

and University administrators say, “It will all work out You are doing a good job so far, and hard work pays off ” I know I don’t have a success stor y to back my word of assurance up, but I promise ever yone who f e e l s re m o

J OH N CO LTRANE, A LOVE SUPREME

The relationship between John Coltrane and Stephen Ellison (Flying Lotus’ human name) is both physical and spiritual That sounds like bullshit, but hear me out: Ellison is the great nephew of Mr Coltrane and his wife, the famed jazz instrumentalist and composer Alice Coltrane And while it’s difficult to draw a straightforward comparison between John Coltrane and FlyLo, Coltrane’s 1965 masterpiece A Love Supreme provides an interesting contrast to Ellison’s latest work As the first in a long line of albums with an overarching thesis, it’s likely that You re Dead would never exist at all without Coltrane’s magnum opus

Rather than traversing the moments before his demise, Coltrane’s album is a prayer for redemption and a communication with the beyond from a man whose dealings with drugs and alcohol had brought him fearfully close to death Split into four movements that sound like they were pulled from an A A meeting “Acknowledgement,” “Resolution,” “Pursuance” and “Psalm” the album b u i l d s toward a c l i m a c t i c solo, during w

It’s worth exploring some of the sources FlyLo draws from on You’re Dead (which will be officially released on October 6 via Brainfeeder) Knowing this stuff will make you the coolest dude or gal at the party, even if that party is super weird to begin with and involves listening to FlyLo actually, if you start hearing Flying Lotus at a party, I would leave, as you have probably just entered an opium den Even so, it also provides a great excuse to take a look at some of the greatest albums of the 20th and early 21st century Jazz is back, you guys!

recites

m through his

sax Does it get more avant-garde than that? And yet, the album is marked by breathtaking beauty and transcendence that hasn’t lost its appeal over the years

MI

LES DAVI S, BITC0HES BREW

Bitches Brew’s cover art is absolutely captivating Matti Klarwein’s visual rendering of the album’s avant-garde sonic themes succeeds against all odds at capturing the artist’s iconoclastic vision But the most important aspect of the cover might be the text placed right above the title: “Directions in Music

by Miles Davis ”

This fine print is not hyperbolic: Davis is known as a musical innovator who, i n c r e d i b l y , changed the entire landscape of the jazz world at least five times

Of a l l h i s i n n o v a t i o n s , though, Bitches Brew might be his most controve r s i a l Da v i s employed two bass players, three drummers, three electric piano players and a percussionist to play these songs, in order to allow his soloists to explore the furthest reaches of their instruments In doing so, they managed to alienate much of Davis’ traditional fanbase and, ultimately, to create the second best-selling jazz album of all time The chaotic, dissonant and often mind-altering improvisation of Bitches Brew can be found in equal measure on You’re Dead Ellison has said that Davis “marked the beginning of [his] appreciation of jazz You never really felt like you knew everything about him You’d hear his music, and there’d be mystery ” Judging from the quality of his latest work, I am sure that, were Miles still around, the admiration would be mutual

Maiden Voyage, he set out to recreate the ocean through jazz The work itself is a serene, windswept journey, pocked by storms and rogue waves Hancock succeeded in capturing his watery subject and, more importantly, in establishing himself as one of the greatest pianists and composers of the modern era

HERB IE HANC OCK , MAIDEN VOYAGE

Before moving forward with his concept for You’re Dead, Ellison has remarked that he first had to ask Herbie Hancock for permission (yes, unlike these other jazz greats, Herbie is, thankfully, still alive) That the two have now worked together seems at once to be the strangest and most natural thing in the world In 1965, at the tender age of 24, Herbie Hancock released a concept album of his own and a classic at that On his

Hancock’s contribution to You’re Dead comes in the form of a track called “Moment of Hesitation,” and on the track, he displays his more experimental side Alongside Thundercat, Hancock’s rhythmic, dreamlike vamping is weaved perfectly into FlyLo’s mix As a jazz fan, there is really nothing more heart-warming than seeing commenters on SoundCloud calling a song featuring Herbie Hancock “fire,” “filthy” and “insane ” I can only hope that You’re Dead exposes a new generation of music listeners to the rest of his heady, gorgeous tunes, and, more generally, to the world of experimental jazz Maybe one day, I won ’ t have to sit alone in the corner of a dark room and talk to myself about strange time signatures and unexpected chord progressions

“Yale played a great game and made plays all over the field and we didn't,” Archer said “That was what caused the ending result and not a whole lot of positives on the tape and on the tape, there certainly will be, but Yale is rolling right now and they came in and got the ball to the guys that they needed to get the ball to and they did a nice job that way and were able to get us off the field and not let us sustain anything, especially early on ”

against Bucknell due to shoulder fatigue, consistently overthrew receivers Few said that the shoulder soreness that has hampered his ability to throw the football did not affect him on Saturday

“I felt pretty good,” Few said “It didn't hurt It didn't hurt any worse ”

Archer said that the decision to start Jatis over Few was an internal one made before the game, despite the plan to have the junior take more snaps

“James is day-to-day We make those internal personnel decisions with our coaching staff and with James and with the players and we went in with a plan and stuck to it,” Archer said “James took a lot of snaps ”

On the other end of the gridiron, the Red, led by junior quarterback James Few who came into the game mid-first quarter after freshman gunslinger Jake Jatis made the start struggled to generate much of anything offensively On the day, Few threw 6-of-15 passes for completions (40 percent completion rate) and one touchdown while junior running back Luke Hagy ran the ball for 68 yards on 18 carries (3 4 yards per carry)

“We were definitely prepared for the hurry-up offense We've been practicing it since the beginning of training camp, especially looking forward to Princeton,” said senior defensive lineman Justin Harris “They are very fast Yale's was [a] no-huddle operation and it wasn ' t as fast as we were expecting it We were definitely more in-shape and ready for it because that's all we ' ve been practicing ”

Few, who sat out during the team ’ s last game

The two offenses that took the field on Saturday are on opposite ends of the development spectrum Bulldogs coach Tony Reno has developed the offense for three years since coming over from Harvard’s coaching staff Archer’s squad, on the other hand, is in year one of the implementation of a new offensive system The disparity in the development of the offense was apparent to Archer

“Whatever you do comes down to personnel What they're doing schematically fits the personnel right now and I think it's been developed It's in year three of that,” Archer said “They do a great job of asking their players to do what they do best and I think they really have a nice mesh of what they do schematically with what their personnel is ”

Red Tops Penn For First Time Since ’96 Season

By JOEL COOPER Sun Staff Writer

The Cornell women ’ s soccer team evened out its Ivy League results by beating Penn 3-2 at home on Friday The Red (6-3, 1-1 Ivy League) picked itself up after a tough weekend last week, in which it fell to Columbia 1-0 in the opening conference game of the season, before losing to Wagner College, 2-1 The Red looked dangerous throughout the encounter with the Quakers, particularly in the first half where Cornell scored all three of its goals

The Red burst out of the blocks and, after just under two minutes, was rewarded with a goal Freshman defender Whitney Farber started the play from a throw-in deep in the opposition half and the ball was passed onwards off the head of junior for ward Caroline Growney Sophomore midfielder Elizabeth Crowell pounced on the ball and sent it into the net from 12 yards out

Cornell continued to add pressure and soon had a second goal, this time off the foot of Growney Senior midf i e l d e r C l a i re Ma c Ma n u s s e n t a through-ball diagonally across the pitch right onto the feet of Growney, who deftly touched the ball past the Penn keeper from about 20 yards out from goal

Spor ts

across the goal towards the back post and, though the Penn keeper managed to get a glove on it, the ball soared deep into the back of the net This was the first time since 2006 that Cornell has scored three goals in an Ivy League game

The Red pushed harder as the first half drew to a close and with 13 minutes left, freshman Meera Dheer scored the first goal of her young Cornell career The Red moved the ball far up the right-hand side of the pitch and Dheer collected it for a shot from 30 yards out The shot flew

According to sophomore keeper Kelsey Tierney, the team ’ s recent focus on a quick passing game, particularly in the attacking half of the pitch, led to Cornell sealing the win in the first half “ The attack had a tremendous first half, building up three goals that we really needed,” Tierney said “ We were ver y cohesive and able to connect a lot of passes and create sequences ” However, it was Penn who came out of the break strongest and attacked Cornell right up to the final whistle With 64 minutes on the clock, the Quakers got on the scoreboard with a well worked cross that lead to a header that was just out of Tierney’s reach

Win Streak Shattered By Penn in Close Loss

By TUCKER MAGGIO HUCEK Sun Staff Writer

Saturday afternoon the Cornell men ’ s soccer team outplayed the Penn Quakers on Berman Field, but fell to its Ivy League foes, 1-0 A 35-

yard free kick goal from Penn midfielder Forrest Clancy found the back of the net to put the visitors on the score sheet, something the Red failed to do despite playing a strong game overall

“Soccer is a cruel game Penn had fewer chances than us, yet [they] were still able to escape with a win,” said senior captain Devin Morgan

The Red took 12 shots to Penn’s eight, but Quaker goalkeeper Max Polkinhore made five saves on the day Within the first four minutes, senior captain and defenseman Peter Chodas and sophomore for ward Rafik Mekhaldi had made attempts on the Penn goal, but both shots missed the target The first half of play was more even than the second, in which the Red took five corner kicks compared to Penn’s three and took seven shots whereas Penn only had four attempts on goal

The only breakthrough of the game was Clancy’s goal in the 58th minute Penn was awarded a free kick from 35 yards out, a sizeable distance from Cornell senior goalkeeper Zach Zagorski Clancy opted to take a chance and was

Then with 2:45 left, Penn cut Cornell’s lead to just one, but the Red’s defense proved too steady for the Quakers in the end The game finished with Cornell on top, 3-2, giving the Red its first win over Penn since 1996 and ending a 15-game losing streak against the Quakers in the process Tierney gave particular praise to the team ’ s defense in helping Cornell hold on for the victor y, though she said she still believes the team can improve its physicality before its next game “ The defense was strong throughout the whole game, doing especially well covering for each other,” Tierney said “ This week we are looking to focus on defending against through balls and staying physical when challenging for the ball ” Cornell is back in action on Monday evening on the road against Colgate University, before traveling to Har vard for its next Ivy League game on Friday

Yale Pass Game Baf es C.U. Defense

By JOON LEE Sun Staff Writer

It was a constant sight during Saturday afternoon’s Cornell football home opener against

Yale Bulldogs quarterback Morgan Roberts, standing four yards in a read-option formation behind the center, taking the snap, sifting through his progressions and zipping a lofty pass

downfield into the hands of a Yale wide receiver with a member of the Big Red secondary trailing two or three steps behind, unable to make a play on the pass

The Red secondary struggled to keep up with the Bulldogs receivers as Roberts, who came into the game leading a Bulldogs charge that was averaging 654 yards of total offense, threw threads to open receivers throughout the game en route to Cornell’s 51-13 loss

“Not taking anything away from Yale, but there was some miscommunication and we need to work on formation recognition that we wanted We were able to correct that later on, but it got on us in a hurry,” said head coach David Archer ‘05 “It was a combination of explosiveness, particularly with a couple of their players Deon Randall is a very special, very explosive player and you have to be able to account for him, and there was a breakdown on our part, but still a very good job by him ”

On top of their explosive production in the pass and run game, the Bulldogs kept the Red offense off the field Cornell’s offense did not generate a first
