‘Hi storic’ Storm

To Strike Ithaca

Millions of people on the East Coast are bracing for what newspapers around the country are calling “Frankenstorm”: a hybrid of powerful winds, intense rains, extreme tides and possibly snowfall, a portion of which local meteorologists say will hit Ithaca on Monday

As of Sunday night, experts predicted that the storm would persist through Wednesday afternoon just in time for Halloween and the full moon

Mark Wysocki M A ’89, a senior lecturer in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, said that Frankenstorm is likely to be a storm of historic proportions because it is a combination of two separate storm systems

The first is a large storm in northern Canada that is drawing cold, dry air south, across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast; the second storm is Hurricane Sandy, which is bringing warm, moist air into the mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast, according to Wysocki The two storms are expected to merge Monday night, bringing 36 hours of violent weather to Ithaca

The storm will occur during a full moon, which increases the chances that flooding will occur, Wysocki said

According to Michael Gouldrick, director of meteorology for Time Warner Cable’s New York news channels, the heaviest rain and winds will occur in Ithaca between late Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning During this period of time, residents can expect to see winds with speeds of 20 to 40 miles per hour, with some gusts reaching 60 mph Winds of 60 mph are strong enough to cause tree damage, which can cause power outages, Gouldrick said

Beer, Wine Flow at Inaugural Ithaca O ktoberfest

By SARAH CUTLER

Sun Contributor

At the first-ever Oktoberfest on the Commons this weekend, participants several clad in lederhosen endured overcast weather to sample local beers, wines and local restaurant fare

On Saturday, residents and students attended the event, which was co-sponsored by the Downtown Ithaca Alliance and Kilpatrick’s Publick House Tim Gammons, Kilpatrick’s food and beverage manager and one of the event ’ s organizers, said he felt the turnout was impressive for the festival’s first year

“I think it’s going very well We’ve got a lot more people

than we expected,” Gammons said during the festival “We’re just so happy to have everyone here being part of this ”

While the event ’ s organizers were impressed by the turnout, some vendors said they had expected more attendees They recalled attendance numbers at other annual festivals on the Commons, such as Chili Fest, Apple Fest and Brew Fest

“I was at Chili Fest last year This is a little bit slower, but I think that has to do with the weather and the fact that this is the first time,” said Will Sheavely, who was running Life’s So Sweet’s chocolate sampling station

Gammons said he came up with the idea for Oktoberfest after Ithaca Brewery’s annual Brew Fest was

canceled for 2012

“We wanted something that would kind of imitate the idea without stealing it,” he said

Food and beverage samples were served by local companies ranging from Ward’s Maple Products to Viva Taqueria

“Everyone’s kind of joined in the festivities, whether they’re a German-themed restaurant or not, ” said Patricia Clark, event manager for the Downtown Ithaca Alliance “They put their spin on it ”

The festival provided an opportunity for local food and beverage producers to gain exposure in the community, Clark said

“We think it’s important for a lot of the local brewers, winemakers and farmers who are off the beaten path, because people don’t necessarily happen upon them,” she said “This kind of event allows people to get a sense of what’s available right in our area, which is really great because we have a lot of wonderful local treasures ”

Ithaca resident Alex Zavaski said he took advantage of the variety of samples available Saturday

“The event ’ s awesome I like it; there’s a bunch of different places I didn’t know about, and I get to try some beers,” Zavaski said during the festival “I’m just gonna enjoy it ”

Like many events on the Commons, Oktoberfest was free and open to the public For those who wanted to sample the food and drink options, however, ticket packages were available for purchase

Local bands including The Notorious String Busters, The Erik Caron Connection, and Mike Brindisi and The New York Rock performed over the course of the day, providing a lively backdrop for festival attendees and entertainment for children, who turned the center square into a dance floor

Clark said she hopes and expects that Oktoberfest will become an annual event in Ithaca

“The music is fun, people are enjoying themselves, there’s lots to talk about, there’s lots to taste, ” she said “This is something, like Apple Fest, where people make it an annual event and plan to go again next year This is the first year to make a good impression so folks can come back ”

Student Orgs. React to Tiered S AFC Funding

By SARAH SASSOON Sun Staff Writer

After several consecutive years in which students were angered by what they called unfair funding practices, the Student Assembly Finance Commission has implemented a new system this fall for allocating funding to student organizations

In recent years, campus groups have criticized the SAFC for what they said was a lack of transparency, a difficult application process and untenable budget cuts In response, the SAFC created a tiered system to ameliorate the funding application process for student groups

Under the new system, organizations are placed into tiers, or levels, of funding allocations based on how efficiently they spent money in the past Each tier has its own funding cap or the maximum amount of money any club within that level can receive in a given semester

allocated funds about $200,000 went unspent each year Money that is allocated to clubs and is unspent, called rollover funds, is essentially wasted resources, according to Desai

The tier system, in response, was designed to reduce rollover by rewarding groups that spent wisely, according to Matty Gruber ’13, co-chair of the SAFC

“This year, when we placed groups into tiers, we did so based entirely on their past spending We didn’t care what kind of group you were or what the purpose of your organization was We simply cared how much money you spent from the SAFC [in the past],” Gruber said

For this semester, the 383 organizations that applied for funding were sorted into five of the six tiers, according to Gruber

“The tier we were placed in was sufficient for our [organization’s] needs ”

S h a n t e l M a h a r a j ’ 1 4

With the SAFC’s new funding system, groups were able to receive up to $1,000, $1,750, $2,500, $3,250 or $4,000 this fall, depending on what tier they were placed in The changes represent an increase in funding from last fall, when organizations were able to receive a maximum of $2,700

The new funding system will also aim to reduce unspent funds, SAFC members said

Under the old system, all student organizations were capped at the same upper limit a practice that left some groups underfunded and some with more money than they could spend, according to Roneal Desai ’13, vice president of finance for the S A

“Basically, the previous incentive of an SAFC group was [to] apply for as much as you can, get as much as you can and then spend whatever you need,” leaving a portion of some clubs’ budgets unspent, Desai said

Consequently, more than 20 percent of

The top tier was left vacant and will be reserved in the future for clubs that not only use funding effectively but also “do more for our community,” he said winning a national competition, for instance, or providing a unique resource

According to Gruber, before the SAFC made changes to its system, it struggled to provide larger clubs with the amount they needed

“Inevitably, the amount of funds requested would be way higher than what we could give out in a semester, ” he said After the latest round of budgets were released last month, student leaders of organizations in both higher and lower tiers say they have been generally pleased with the new system

“We received all the funding we requested, and the tier we were placed in was sufficient for our needs,” said Shantel Maharaj

’14, president of the Teszia Belly Dancing Troupe, a smaller organization on campus

Elizabeth Nolan ’13, president of Women’s Club Soccer, said the previous funding system, which substantially diminished the budget of club sports teams, was a detriment to her organization

In Fall 2011, when the SAFC decided to give clubs who make mistakes on their applications a second chance to apply for funding, the number of organizations that qualified increased substantially resulting in dramatic budget cuts across the board For club sports, funding was cut in half from about $10,000 to $5,000 per year last spring

“Last year was awful when the new changes were so abrupt Our funding was cut by over 50 percent, ” Nolan said “Thankfully, we had saved up on team dues from the previous years; otherwise, we likely would not have been able to afford [to participate in] the annual national tournament ”

This semester, club sports fall into the highest available tier guaranteeing their ability to secure up to $4,000 per semester, compared to the approximately $2,700 per semester they received last year

Nolan said the changes the SAFC has made to the funding process “have already benefited” her organization but acknowledged that her satisfaction could be attributed to her club’s placement in the second tier

But even officers of new clubs all organizations applying for SAFC funding for the first time are automatically placed in the lowest tier expressed approval for the tiered system

For instance, Shuangyi Hou ’13, president of the Every1 Campaign, said her group received funding that was “absolutely adequate to cover our first-semester needs ”

Skorton Challenges Univ. To S eek ‘Great Tomorrows’

great tomorrows ”

Skorton put forth the goals Cornell will move toward in his “State of the University” speech

Friday

Skorton said Cornell has made significant progress in striving to achieve the vision outlined in its strategic plan to make itself “widely recognized as a top-ten research university in the world ” Three years since the plan was launched, the University has risen in national rankings, recruited faculty at the top of their fields and bolstered its academic programs, he said

Currently, 47 of the Ithaca campus ’ academic programs are ranked in the top 10 of their fields more than any other college in the nation, Skorton said

Anticipating a wave of faculty retirements, the University has also been “ very successful” in hiring “rising stars, as well as senior-level colleagues,” he said

For the Ithaca campus alone, Cornell made 71 new tenure-track appointments during the 2011-12 academic year a leap from the 27 appointments in the 2010-11 academic year

Some of the newly-hired faculty members will soon inhabit Klarman Hall, Skorton added The building the first that will be built at Cornell for the humanities in a century will break ground next summer, with the aim of opening it to the public in 2015

As the tech campus rises in New York City, the University has also forged greater connections between its Ithaca and New York City campuses, Skorton said

Although Skorton expressed pride over these accomplishments, he also highlighted several challenges facing Cornell today

Despite boasting one of the most economically diverse student bodies among U S colleges, the University has a faculty that is predominantly male and white Only 27 6 percent of faculty are women, and just 5 7 percent of faculty are underrepresented minorities

The Cornell community has also been shaken by multiple incidents of bias and sexual violence in the last few months

And in recent months, Cornell staff have expressed concerns about imbalanced workloads an issue Skorton said came “particularly in the wake of the belt-tightening of the past few years ”

The University cannot resolve such issues with complacency, Skorton said Quoting former Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson II, he emphasized that “We dare not just look back to great yesterdays We must look forward to

Skorton stressed that, following the traditions of the University’s founders, Cornell must continue to think about fostering diversity among its students, faculty and staff

“When many of us think about diversity, we have in mind a way to reduce inequalities by creating opportunities part of Ezra Cornell’s famous aspiration,” he said

As part of efforts to increase diversity at the University, Cornell has launched “ Toward New Destinations” a program in which administrators have committed to 158 goals relating to improving diversity in their respective colleges and units, Skorton said

Cornell is also attempting to respond to community concerns in the wake of several sexual assaults Skorton said that the University is working on “[getting] the word out about safety services and other resources that are available, improving lighting in areas where incidents may occur and continuing conversations with individuals and groups so that we can move closer to being the diverse, welcoming and caring community we aspire to be ”

Many faculty and staff are also taking an online course, “Respect@Cornell,” to learn how to handle reports of sexual violence, harassment and discrimination

“Clearly, we still have work to do, but I am proud of the seriousness and the sensitivity with which so many on our campuses are attempting to address the challenges we face,” Skorton said

As the University prepares to celebrate its sesquicentennial anniversar y in 2015, Skorton attributed the state of Cornell today to the sum of Cornellians’ work over the last 150 years

“Because of the excellence and diversity of our student body, Cornell graduates are making contributions throughout the world Because Cornellians have given back so much so very much to their alma mater, we ’ ve achieved our current level of distinction,” he said

Skorton charged the community with continuing to push Cornell forward over the next year

“As we begin another year together, I challenge you, through your commitment of time, energy, resources and skills, to help create great tomorrows for new generations of Cornellians on the Hill, in New York City and throughout the world,” he said

E xperts Predict Ithaca Power Outages

experts ’ recommendations to stock up on emergency supplies

In Ithaca, “there will definitely be strong winds that could lead to power outages, ” he added Prof Arthur DeGaetano, earth and atmospheric sciences, warned that if rainfall exceeds two to three inches, there is a moderate risk of flooding of creeks and rivers DeGaetano also urged students to stock up on extra batteries, water and other emergency supplies in case there are widespread power outages in the area

“A lot of the big utilities cover large areas, so a lot of places might take precedence [for repairs] over places in upstate New York,” DeGaetano said Lee Shurtleff, director of the Tompkins County Department of Emergency Response, said that by the time Hurricane Sandy hits Ithaca, it will have become a tropical storm which is characterized by less extreme winds than a hurricane Still, Shurtleff warned all residents to prepare to stay indoors for up to 72 hours due to the threat of falling branches and wires He said the storm ’ s unusual combination of two pressure systems could create unpredictable effects, which is one reason it has been nicknamed “Frankenstorm ” “[ Weather experts] have a fairly good sense of the volume of rain and amount of wind, but how that affects the infrastructure for the electrical systems is still a question,” Shurtleff said Students are not taking the impending storm

“Personally, I have plenty of food that doesn’t require cooking I’m a poor college student,” Ted McHardy ’13 said “I have a weather radio that will be charged and I'm going to make sure I shower Monday in case we lose power ”

In addition to stocking up on food and water, Sage Hiller ’13 has been charging all of his electronics in anticipation of prolonged power outages Other students, like Sydney Altschuler ’16, are following suit out of fear that the storm will disrupt their use of laptops and iPads

Warnings about the storm and its severity have caused some students to criticize Cornell’s decision to not cancel classes

In an email sent out Sunday evening, Joseph M Lalley, senior director of facilities operations, said that “all classes are expected to meet, and all staff to report to work, as scheduled ” Ryan Hobson ’15 questioned the University’s decision

“People could get hurt, and it could be dangerous to get to class,” Hobson said

Although some students said they disagree with the administration’s decision and hope that the University will ultimately cancel classes, Frank Xie ’15 said he is not surprised by Cornell’s announcement Xie said that he expects classes will likely go on unless TCAT shuts down its bus ser vice

A Reas on to Hope A gain

My first column this semester was titled “Hope?

Nope ” It contained my thoughts on why I was not especially thrilled to vote for President Obama, at least not as excited as I was in 2008

But the fact remains, I support the President Here’s why:

The modern form of the Republican Party has to be stopped in its tracks The GOP’s national agenda ought to be considered abhorrent to our generation

During the Primaries, the only candidate to not receive any momentary surge of support was Jon Huntsman I ll admit that Huntsman doesn’t have the memory of Rick Perry, the thoughtfulness of Michele Bachmann, the pizza making skills of Herman Cain, the humility of Newt Gingrich or the per-

What Huntsman did offer was a reasonable alternative to President Obama He was a deeply conservative governor from one of our nation’s most preposterously conservative states

Additionally, he spoke Mandarin fluently, having served as President Obama’s ambassador to China He looked past partisanship and put the duty to serve his nation above future political opportunities His opposition to the President did not come from a deep-seated distrust of Obama; instead, it came from legitimate political differences

And that, more than any other reason, is why he never found any traction in today’s Republican party

Driving to grab some lunch today, I saw a woman whose bumper sticker featured President Obama’s rising sun symbol with a big X through it and the slogan, “I’ll keep my guns and you keep your change ”

Now, I understand that Mitt Romney is probably the better candidate for “ gun rights,” but that’s if we determine that gun rights means that the right to bare arms includes the right to high-capacity magazines and as few checks to gun ownership as possible

However, what has President Obama done on the issue of

guns to make somebody devote their pickup truck’s rear window to it? The objective answer is: absolutely nothing The President has expanded gun rights

But that does not matter In fact, during President Obama’s term, gun sales have dramatically increased because Americans think that the President is going to go after their guns

Whether it’s gun control, Obamacare, tax cuts, Solyndra, Dodd-Frank financial reform, regulation or a multitude of other issues, Republican opposition to the President is not based on an honest assessment of his performance, it’s based on a ingrained dislike of the President

I want to make it as clear as possible; this is an issue that is present in the Democratic Party, too However, look back to the way Democrats treated President Bush They did not like him and, coming from Massachusetts, I saw plenty of people who appeared to hate President Bush

Yet, Democratic Senators in Washington voted for President Bush’s tax cuts, the War in Iraq and passed No Child Left Behind by a vote of 91-8

Not a single Republican voted for Obamacare Only three Republican Senators voted for the Stimulus Act Of the three, one later switched to the Democratic Party and another, Olympia Snowe, is quitting the Senate because she believes that there is not enough bipartisanship

Since then, Republican opposition has hardened, as have its positions Mitt Romney is the embodiment of that opposition His wild inconsistencies, his radical choice of vice president and his patently absurd tax cut proposal all reek of the unreasonable conservative opposition to President Obama I think it is overly simplistic, and foolhardy, to cry racism Yes, 79 percent of Republicans were found “ to express racial prejudice in the questions measuring explicit racism” in an Associated Press poll from last week Yet, core Republican opposition goes deeper than the mere color of the President’s skin

They oppose the President because he, in so many ways, represents the future He’s relatively young, biracial and worldly He’s not rural he’s urban Obama’s America, a more diverse cosmopolitan country, is coming The demographics, with a rapidly rising minority population and a rapidly shrinking white population, make a more diverse and dynamic pop-

ulation inevitable

Imagine you are an older, rural, middle-income and temperamentally conservative person You have watched your income disappear, you ’ ve watched homosexuals begin marrying, your house is probably worth less now than it was 10 years ago, you ’ ve watched many of the decent jobs around you disappear, your pension (if you had one) is gone and all of a sudden the visual embodiment of the future, multiracial, progressive and secular country is elected to be your President Voters like this are the face of the Tea Party, and they would never vote for a Democrat, let alone President Obama

It is not hard to see why people like that oppose the President and have unrealistic impressions of his attitudes and policies Fortunately, there are not enough of those people to win an election

What it will take to defeat the President is the opposition of voters who harbor no resentment toward Obama, those who don’t have bumper stickers on the back of their cars touting their opposition to positions the President does not have They simply think that the President has not done a good job and needs to be replaced

If you are one of these voters, I do not blame you I really don’t The last four years have not been a picnic But I do ask you to think, think really long and really hard

If you wanted to vote for Jon Huntsman, I would disagree with you, I would argue that Huntsman’s conservative ideology was not the correct prescription for America The American Conservative, a magazine with a name à propos of its politics, said Governor Huntsman’s views were both “ a break with the Bush legacy on foreign policy and the chance to move their policy prescriptions off the Tea Party’s placards and into the center of our political debate ” Huntsman stood up to the radicalism at the core of today’s Republican Party, and he was quickly struck down

Compare the Conservative’s assessment of Huntsman to its assessment of Romney whose willingness to say whatever his supporters want to hear regardless of the merits” and that he “lacks important qualifications for the Presidency ” Unlike Huntsman, Romney’s election would be a realization of the irrational cultural backlash to President Obama That might not be reason enough to vote for the President for everyone, but it’s why I am

Bringing Climate Change Into

The National S ecurity Conversation

Th i s p a s t T h u r s d a y, t w o f o r m e r National Security Advisors, Samuel “Sandy” Berger and Stephen Hadley, discussed their experiences at a panel on “ The World, the Day After ” They shared their insights into the overnight transition from being the (successful) presidential candidate to being the commander-in-chief Despite coming from opposite sides of the partisan divide, they echoed the consensus of policy wonks that the range of difference between Republican and Democratic foreign policy agendas is actually ver y narrow

When asked to look ahead to next Ja n u a r y, H a d l e y, w h o s e r v e d u n d e r President George W Bush, said that he w o u l d a d v i s e Pre s i d e n t O b a m a a n d

Gove r n o r Ro m n e y t o re s i s t g e t t i n g s o absorbed in managing current crises as to neglect taking measures to forestall the development of future conflicts He didn’t quite have the time to go into specifics, although I have a feeling that he wouldn’t agree with me on climate change being a top national security concern

The two candidates probably wouldn’t assent either, since climate change didn’t come up once in any of the four debates Oil, gas and “clean” coal made it in; the failure of Solyndra was mentioned; but, climate change the most pressing issue facing the world, this nation and our generation wasn ’ t deemed a hot enough topic to be addressed According to polls from last month, two-thirds of Americans would beg to differ

The U S militar y has, in recent years, pulled far ahead of the government in renewable energy investments, committing

to incorporate solar, wind, biomass and geothermal power into its energy profile by 2025 In 2010, the Pentagon’s Quadrennial Defense Review described global warming as a destabilizing force The Department of Defense didn’t quite consider it a cause of conflict yet but rather a catalyst of conflict

Resource wars are certainly not a historical novelty, but climate change’s interference in the harnessing or cultivating of resources will create a pressure cooker for conflicts over food, water and energy In a discussion on genocide prevention with foreign policy experts and Secretar y of State

Hi l l a

By

National Intelligence Council, a government agency, predicts that nearly half of the world’s population will live in areas of severe water stress Unfortunately, if climate predictions have been any indication, proj e c

tioned ones are usually far too conser vative to allow for effective policies

At home, we are hardly immune to resource-related security vulnerabilities As the student body prays for Sandy’s projected trajector y to deliver a hurrication (but its actual path to cause minimal damage), oil executives in the South are probably breathing a sigh of relief that there isn’t a hurricane in the Gulf threatening drilling and refiner y operations The growing number of extreme weather events, including hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes and flooding, have incurred industr y and government

staggering costs in lost operation time and recover y efforts

T h i s s u m m e r ’ s d ro u g h t a n d re c o rdbreaking heat wave decimated the Midwest corn crop and left farmers and policymakers, both domestic and international, with a range of problems: food security, loss of

profit and impact on the various industries dependent on corn

There is an additional way in which national security and climate change needs to be considered As resources have become depleted due to increased consumption and population growth, nations are frantically scouring the globe to secure access to energy, minerals and land China, a countr y that the U S has a sensitive relationship with, h a s v i e d f o r C a n a d i a n t a r s a n d s o i l , expressed interest in developing Greenland’s rare earth metals and acquired agricultural land leases in Africa

In all these cases, the resource bidding war privileges countries with political or economic advantages and deprives the people living in countries with resources to exploit The conflicts that are going to spring up will either force the U S to consider an inter vention or directly pit the U S

against another world power European countries have already joined forces to leverage their long-term diplomatic relat i o n

awareness of the myriad ways in which cli-

efforts to build resource capacity and foreign relations with countries that are competing for resources or relying on U S support Extreme weather and resource strains compel immediate action, but the prolonged and increasingly severe effects of climate change necessitate long-term planning Candidates do not excel in thinking beyond the four-year election cycle, but the person who is sitting in the President’s chair the next four years will cease to be a candidate the day after the election (at least temporarily) Americans cannot afford to allow him to remain silent on climate change

Just Another Man

Glen Campbell’s Last Ride

BY MEREDITH JOYCE Sun Contributor

Glen Campbell said one more goodbye on his Farewell Tour Thursday at the State Theatre Cornell students may not who he is, but with a 54-year music career starting as a session guitarist with the famous Wrecking Crew ensemble before a nonstop solo career with 61 albums and 81 charted singles, not to mention a starring role

Jo h n Wa y n e ’ s Tr u e Gr i t t h e 7 6 - y e a r - o l d G l e n

Campbell is who anyone ’ s parents or grandparents would call a countr y and pop music legend However, at Thursday’s concert, Campbell showed the skill, not the fame and recognition, he has accrued as a musician for so many years

Gl e n ’ s c h i l d re n , A s h l e y a n d Sh a n n o n C a m p b e l l , opened the show as part of their countr y/folk project Victoria Ghost The two have toured with their father, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, to help him perform They sang with him when he forgot lyrics or mouthed the words as they played in his band They were also there to introduce themselves as an exciting, harmonious group with varied and enjoyable songs Their lyrics were clear and, for that, engaging, telling relatable stories with profound messages “Just Another Man,” a stringy ballad about mortality, felt complete, even with just a banjo and a guitar, and relevant to the spirit of closure that this Farewell tour signifies In a 30minute set with six songs, they provided variety, grabbed the audience’s attention and brought a family feel to the concert

After a 20-minute intermission, Glen’s children lead him on stage He still wore a white blazer and an electric blue, rhinestone shirt, perhaps in the fashion of his hit song “Rhinestone Cowboy ” The audience gave him an immediate standing ovation With a total of three standing ovations, the audience, many of whom were around in the ’70s to see him at his peak, was knowingly pleased with the performance They had nothing to complain about except the intermission Glen started out with three of his most popular songs:

“Gentle On My Mind,” “Galveston” and “By The Time I Get to Phoenix ” With a steering banjo, patient bass and circuitous beat, he eased the crowd into the happy, relaxing mood of countr y music

Through all 17 songs, the crowd responded most favorably to his countr y repertoire Despite his age and ail-

m e n t s , C a m p b e l l , f o r t h e most part, stayed away from the sad and slow piano blues T h e d i m m e d s t a g e l i g h t s d u r i n g “ T h e Mo o n Is a

Harsh Mistress” marked a somber tone in light of the rest of the night He gave a solid performance that was meant to make the audience feel breezy, not mournful

The instantly gratifying nature of today’s music hasn’t affected Glen, either From the talent he has built over h a l f a c e n t u r y, h e c re a t e s music with dedication and skill that recalls ideals remin i s c e n t o f t h e A m e r i c a n

managed to get the audience to laugh along with his fumbles Sometimes, he pivoted away from the audience or forgot words However, his setbacks never stopped the s h ow

Dream A truly professional musician, he knew how to put on a show that grew steadily as the show went on Without knowing his songs beforehand, I hummed along before I even realized I liked them His songs evoke words like “class i c ” a n d f e e l f a m i l i a r and timeless This is a testament to how influential his work is, as we ’ ve probably all heard derivatives of his work i n t o d a y ’ s p o p u l a r countr y singers C a m p b e

that watching

Campbell overcame ailments beyond his control and struck a confi-

stage presence

G l e n C a

l’s concert showed how he has mastered, not surrendered to, age After the show, during a bou-

anniversar y that night, his drummer son remarked to the audience after the show, “Amazing what those fingers could do, right?” It was true: When playing guitar solos, his skills proved ageless He may have sold more records and appeared on more talk shows decades before, but Campbell has not let time define who he is He is the kind of performer who can keep touring at the age of 76 in an industr y of Taylor Swifts He’s not touring to recruit more fans or sell more records he is here to say a grateful goodbye to his fans and his work After the concert, my taxi driver praised him, saying how there are other performers who stay around too long, with ruined voices and listless stage presence I wondered whether this was true of Glen Campbell, who couldn’t always remember lyrics and who remarked more than once to the crowd about the heat of the theater But then, I thought about the crowd: They were grateful to see someone stand up there, just as flawed as anyone else still working at his or her craft

SATURDAY

Continued from page 16

The next 25 minutes of play did not provide many great opportunities for either team, aside from the 55-second five-on-three advantage Cornell had around 12 minutes into the second

The third period opened with Colorado having the first few shots on net However, the Tigers drew another penalty six minutes into the third, and once more Lowry was able to capitalize on it and score his second goal of the night On the power play, sophomore defenseman Joakim Ryan and senior forward Greg Miller helped set up the play for Lowry, who fired a low shot to the far side of the net, getting it past Thorimbert once again for a two-point lead

“It felt good to contribute I saw [Ferlin’s] back door and I was just trying to throw it off the goalies pad to get him a rebound and it went in, so it was kind of lucky I guess, ” Lowry said

Just 35 seconds later, the Tigers were able to put another one past Iles making the score

“We made a major blunder,” Schaefer said “We had both defensemen jumping into play on a 3-1 lead and that’s just an early season thing and they made us pay for it, scoring and making it 3-2 ”

The score stayed at that number for the rest of the game, and the Red beat the Tigers, 3-2 Iles had 21 saves on the night

According to Lowry, the Tigers came out with some more ferocity than they had the night before

“They had a lot more push tonight than they did last night Tonight I think they came out pretty strong They played really physically tonight,” he said “I think we matched them for the most part and were just lucky that we capitalized on our chances on the power play and I think that’s why we won tonight ”

The benefit about playing the same team two nights in a row is that it provides the team a chance to build off of play from the previous night and improve in certain areas against the same opponent According to Ferlin, this may have helped lead the Red to more success

“We were a little too quick to get to our spots [Friday] night and not so much as focused on getting possession of the puck,” he said “So I think we were working a little better together tonight, and getting possession of the puck before we set up so that definitely had a lot to do with it We struggled a little last night, my unit did, so it was good to come out tonight and put it together ”

Cornell’s special teams units played a cru-

cial role in Saturday’s game The Red went three-for-eight on the power play and did not let up any goals on its eight penalty kills “Obviously it’s nice to have [special teams] clicking early,” D’Agostino said “Right now, we ’ re just trying to keep it simple on the power play, get pucks to the net, look for seams and I think guys are doing a good job of that right now ”

“I think we have a lot of skill right now as a team, ” Lowry added “Guys have finally got a handle on who they’re playing with and have a little bit of chemistry with the guys they’re playing with now that the season started I think we ’ re just making good plays, getting pucks to the net, getting bodies there

FOOTBALL

Continued from page 16

Princeton’s offense was in general more methodical Nonetheless, sophomore quarterback Conner Michelsen hit junior wide receiver Roman Wilson for a 72-yard touchdown pass up the right sideline midway through the third quarter that tied the game at 28 the fourth of five touchdowns traded by both squads on consecutive drives

Michelsen finished with 390 yards on 29-of-35 passing, although he did throw two interceptions Red sophomore linebacker Andrew Nelson, who recorded a team-high 12 tackles, picked off a deflected pass on the first possession of the second half that led to an eight-yard touchdown bullet from Mathews to Tasker

“[Defensive coordinator Kim Dameron] is always stressing getting to the ball and running to the football, [saying] we need 11 heads to the football,” Nelson said “When we do fly around, when we do give 100 percent effort from whistle to whistle, that’s when good things happen ”

Predictably, the Red offense responded after Michelsen’s touchdown bomb Tasker made a 37yard catch on an underthrown ball to set up freshman running back Silas Nacita’s sixth rushing touchdown of the season on third-and-1 from the Princeton 2-yard line

three passes to pick up 46 yards The Tigers appeared in control with a thirdand-2 from the Cornell 31 with just under three minutes to go, but that’s when the Red defense flipped the script

A wall of Cornell defenders stuffed Princeton’s Dre Nelson for a one-yard gain

The freshman running back fought for more yardage, but Gee punched the ball loose and junior defensive end and defensive co-captain Tre’ Minor recovered

“[Princeton] did move the ball on us, but when we needed to make a play, when we needed to step up, we did to give our offense a chance,” Nelson said

The comeback still looked bleak when Mathews twice underthrew wide receiver Kurt Ondash up the left sideline once the senior had beaten the Princeton secondary But Mathews stayed calm and found his reliable targets on consecutive passes to get the Red into field-goal range

Wells missed wide left on the point after attempt, however, to keep the Red advantage at six points, 34-28, with 5:22 left in the third quarter Princeton’s second quarterback, sophomore Quinn Epperly, made the miss more costly when he found senior tight end Mark Hayes in soft coverage for a six-yard score with 8:49 remaining in the game for a 35-34 lead Epperly also rushed for two short touchdowns Cornell marched right back down the field with a solid Mathews throw and diving 30-yard catch by Tasker, followed by a 20-yard completion to junior tight end Ty Bostain But two short gains and an incompletion created a fourth-and-5 from the Tigers 23, and Mathews fired low to Tasker and the pass was broken up with 6:17 to play

Princeton took over on downs and made the clock move quickly for the first time all afternoon, mixing three runs and

the Year hit Tasker over the middle and the wideout spun away from defenders for a 15-yard gain Then, Mathews dropped a precise throw into the hands of a welldefended Gellatly for 35 yards down to the Princeton 11

“The poise that we showed at the end and the leadership helped us, ” Austin said “Our guys just don’t panic on offense We just go out and execute the next play You win with execution and not letting the pendulum swing too far emotionally from euphoria to being too negative You have to strike the proper balance ”

Austin showed faith in his junior kicker by electing to run the ball and run the clock under one minute instead of going for a game-winning touchdown Wells did not disappoint, splitting the uprights on a 23-yard boot for redemption and a 37-35 lead as the Red sideline and a crowd of 4,420 erupted with cheers

Princeton’s offense had 42 seconds to try to win the game, but sophomore linebacker Taylor Betros made the Tigers final chance short-lived, cutting off a Princeton

receiver’s route and intercepting Michelsen on the first play to seal the thrilling victory

Princeton committed four turnovers on the day while the Red had none The Cornell defense allows 464 7 yards per outing, but the ball-hawking unit has forced 15 turnovers in seven games this season

“The difference to the game was the forced turnovers, ” Austin said “Our defense has found a knack to get us turnovers, especially at key times in the game The good news is we were able to capitalize on that today offensively ”

In fact, ever ybody has capitalized offensively on Schoellkopf Field lately Mathews, Red senior backup Chris Amrhein, Michelsen and Monmouth’s Kyle Frazier combined for 1,889 passing yards in Cornell’s last two home games

As for Mathews, it was an exceptional showing a week after he threw three untimely interceptions in a loss at Brown just in case anyone doubted his professional potential Austin wasn ’ t afraid to scrutinize Mathews’ performance against the Bears, but the gunslinger said that comes with the territory of being the focal point of a pass-heavy offense

“I told Jeff when he first started playing, ‘When I quit pushing you and quit getting onto you and quit trying to push you to another level is when you ’ ve got to worry, ’” Austin said “We have a great relationship He understands what’s going on we need great play out of that position the way we ’ re structured offensively right now We’re putting a lot on his plate ”

“When you don’t play well, you should be criticized,” Mathews added “I didn’t give us a chance to win last week, and I think as a player you ’ ve just got to respond I expect Coach Austin to get on me and to coach me hard, and I think that’s going to make us a better team and me individually a better player ”

The club indeed already appears in a better position than last Saturday The win hands the Tigers their first Ivy loss and moves the Red within one game of first-place with three contests remaining Austin also reflected more broadly on the huge triumph for the team ’ s confidence

and when you do that, good things happen ” The Red has scored all of its goals so far on the power play

“We’re not naïve, we ’ re gonna need to score even strength goals throughout the year, ” D’Agoistino said “But, Cornell hockey is shut ‘ em down five-on-five and win a special team battle, and we ’ ve done that so far we ’ ve scored five power play goals and haven’t let in a power play goal against ” Cornell begins ECAC play this upcoming weekend, with a two-game match-up against its neighbor Colgate

Iles Emphasizes Penalty Kills in Win O ver Tigers

FRIDAY

Continued from page 16

defenseman Joakim Ryan both had one

“I am obviously pleased with the first game of the year, especially against a team that’s great in the transition,” said head coach Mike Schafer “It is great to see John Esposito come out there after an injury and get off to a good start

Cornell scored its first goal with six seconds left in the second period on a five-on-three advantage, after Colorado (2-2-0, 0-0-0 WCHA) earned a costly too many players on the ice penalty and went down two men with under two minutes in the second period Esposito’s goal resulted from a rebound after the Tigers’ goaltender left the net wide open

“I was at the right place at the right time on the first goal,” Esposito said “Both teams definitely came out physical and we played hard enough to get what we wanted to get done ”

After another penalty by the Tigers in the third

period on a slashing minor, Esposito received a swift pass from Bardreau and maneuvered the puck beyond Colorado’s blockers

However, according to Schafer, one of the key plays of the game was senior defenseman and tri-captain Nick D’Agostino The 6-2 Ontario native came through on the defensive side, when he blocked a shot in the middle of the second period

“[D’Agostino] got right in the shot lane and sacrificed his body and laid out for it,” Schafer said “I thought we did a great job overall putting the pressure on their offense Our clears on the penalty kill were pretty good today and we were able to limit their second chances ”

In net, Iles recorded his seventh career shutout on Friday with 19 saves After the game, he emphasized that the Red cannot get too far ahead of itself

“It is a 120 minute game, ” Iles said in reference to the weekend’s two-game series against Colorado We made penalty kill an emphasis today and it was amazing tonight ”

Icers Begin ECAC Play, Earn Wins O ver Brown, Yale

By BEN HOROWITZ Sun Staff Writer

The No 2 Cornell women ’ s hockey team began its ECAC schedule with two victories over opponents that the Red has become accustomed to defeating in recent seasons The Red beat Brown (1-1-0, 1-1-0 ECAC) in 11 consecutive contests heading into Friday’s game at Lynah Rink, and again proved victorious in a 2-0 shutout

Similarly, the Red handily defeated Yale (1-3-0, 1-1-0) in two contests last season and defeated the Bulldogs on Saturday in a close game, 3-2 According to senior defenseman Laura Fortino, the Red (4-1-0, 2-0-0) is excited about winning its first two ECAC contests

“As a team it feels really good to win these two big Ivy League games, ” she said “That was really important for us, and to have those two under our belt is a great start and we ’ re really excited and continuing to get better as a team ”

The Red was on the attack from the outset in the game against Brown, and outshot the Bears by a wide margin in the first period However, Brown’s goalie did not back down and the game was still scoreless after one period of play The Red ultimately broke through with a power-play goal by freshman forward Taylor Woods at the beginning of the second According to sophomore forward Jillian Saulnier, staying patient and not getting frustrated led helped the Red finally take the lead

“It was really important to stay patient because you can ’ t get on your heels and think too much about scoring,” she said “We knew the goals would come if we stayed focused It was really important that we kept our composure and fortunately things worked out for us ”

“It could get frustrating to not capitalize on your offensive chances, but as a team we did a good job of staying focused on our tactics and doing the little things right,” Fortino added “It was a positive that we kept on getting those shots, and the amount of focus we put on not being selfish and playing a good team game really helped us in

those two victories ”

One of the keys the to this victory was the Red’s strong penalty kill Cornell killed off all six of Brown’s power plays that it faced According to Fortino, the penalty killing unit’s agressiveness and good execution contributed to success

“The amount of pressure in all three zones that we put on their power play was key, starting with our forecheck, and through the neutral zone our defenseman forced them to dump the puck in,” she said “I think overall the key was being aggressive, not letting them set up, and we did a great job of that and blocking shots and getting the puck out ”

The Bulldogs struck first in Saturday’s contest when the Red failed to move the puck out from behind its net, and Yale cashed in on a loose puck However, the Red took the lead five minutes into the second period with goals by junior forwards Brianne Jenner and Jessica Campbell just 19 seconds apart Yale tied the game on a five-on-three

power play a little over five minutes later According to Fortino, the Red was not sufficiently careful in avoiding penalties

“One thing we took away from that game is that we need to minimize our minutes in the penalty box,” she noted “We need to be more disciplined and smart in those areas, and specifically with the stick infractions we need to be able to move our feet and not use our sticks so much We do not to play physically, but staying in the lines of being smart, because its hard to have momentum when your shorthanded a lot ”

The Red tallied the game winner on a power play goal by Saulnier at the beginning of the third period

“The puck went around and Jenner made a beautiful pass in the middle for me and I was able to finish it,” Saulnier explained We had been working on that a lot in practice so it was nice to see ”

With these two victories under its belt, according to the sophomore forward, the Red is excited for the games that lie ahead

“We have a strong team this year for sure, and I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season, ” Saulnier said

“I’m hungrier than those other guys out there Every rebound is a personal challenge,” said famous NBA rebounder Dennis Rodman, when asked to describe his success on the court

The No 17 Red channelled the same inner drive over the weekend, as it strived to bounce back from a devastating 2-0 loss to No 11 Brown on Oct 20 In one week’s time, Cornell dropped seven spots in the national NCAA Division I rankings and fell to second place in the Ivy League, while Brown climbed six spots in the country and took control of the conference leaderboard by one point With its destiny no longer in

its hands, the Red (13-1-0, 3-1-0 Ivy League) needed to earn a crucial win against the visiting Princeton Tigers if it hoped to keep its dream of an Ivy crown alive and it did, earning a 1-0 shutout

“We want to strive for perfection, but we understood that last [week’s loss to Brown] had to happen,” said junior striker Daniel Haber “Sometimes you need a hard loss like that to wake you up and show you that it's not going to be a perfect season We're going to have to work hard for every win ”

On Saturday afternoon against the Tigers (6-6-2, 2-1-2), Cornell gave a dynamic effort on the field muscling its way into Princeton’s defensive third and fighting to create scoring opportunities However, true to the nature of many conference foes,

Princeton pushed back and fought hard to stave off any Red attack

“Like all the other Ivy League games, we knew it was going to be a grind,” Haber said “We had some chances; [Princeton] had some chances Our defense did a great job handling our set pieces ”

Yet, despite multiple attempted shots on goal, the first half of play proved scoreless for both teams Senior keeper and tri-captain Rick Pflasterer gave a strong performance in net, making one save in the first 45 minutes of play, compared to Princeton’s junior goalie Seth MacMillan’s two catches

Wanting to grab the lead on the scoreboard, the Red needed to sharpen its execution on both sides of the ball

“We just had to raise the level of play and clean up a couple of things on both sides of attacking and defending,” said head coach Jaro Zawislan “In the game of soccer, that first goal is so important it definitely changes the dynamic of the play ”

Coming back after the halftime break, the Red approached the field with a renewed sense of urgency Just over two minutes into the half, Haber struck and scored Cornell’s game winner his 17th of the season Junior midfielder/forward Stephen Reisert dribbled down the field, outmaneuvered Princeton midfielder Joe Saitta and closed in on the penalty box He passed the ball off to Haber, who spun around and beat MacMillan for the goal The national leader in points per game (3 00) positioned himself yards from the end line and ripped off a

shot, which flew towards the far post and found a place in the side netting

“I was waiting for the ball, waiting for the ball, and just trying to stay onside,” Haber said “In the end, [Reisert] found me and I got a great pass and was able to put it in ”

A win against the Tigers was crucial for the Red in its hopes of staying in the running for the Ivy crown With 12 points, Cornell is tied for second place with Dartmouth (8-6-0, 4-1-0) who will travel to Berman Field on Saturday for the Red’s Senior Night According to Zawislan, the team is back on track and remaining competitive in what has grown to be a very unpredictable conference

“ We are staying in business,” he explained

“The situation is where at this point in the Ivy League season you have to keep getting results, otherwise any result by the win can practically eliminate you from the contention for the Ivy League Championship because you start running out of the games where you can win the points ”

The win marked Cornell’s first win over the Tigers since 2006 and equaled the most victories the Red has compiled in a year since 1995 The team will look to rebuild a positive streak to close out the season, as it heads into its last home game of the year against Dartmouth on Saturday night

“We have to keep improving because we always strive to be a better team for the following game, ” Zawislan said

Wells Secures Win Against Princeton With 23-Yard Kick

By QUINTIN SCHWAB Sun Senior Writer

“Great players always respond and that’s what [junior quarterback and offensive co-captain Jeff Mathews] has done,” said Cornell head coach Kent Austin

Mathews followed arguably the worst game of his career with his best, while junior kicker John Wells nailed a 23-yard field goal with 49 8 seconds remaining to lift the Red past League-leading Princeton, 37-35, on Saturday afternoon at Schoellkopf Field

Mathews completed 35-of-51 passes for 525 yards and four touchdowns the third 500-yard game of his career and the Red’s (4-3, 2-2 Ivy League) fourth in its last nine contests Junior receiver Grant Gellatly had 12 receptions for 215 yards a touchdown, while senior wide receiver and special teams cocaptain Luke Tasker added 10 catches for 201 yards and two scores Cornell entered this season with only one 200-yard individual receiving game in its history, but the team now has four

Mathews orchestrated his first-ever game-winning drive in a contest ’ s final five minutes, after junior safety Brian Gee forced a Princeton fumble for the second time with 2:57 to play Three completions and several clock-milking runs gained 66 yards down to the Tigers 5-yard line, offering Wells a chance to make up for a missed first-quarter field goal and a missed extra point on his previous kick the reason Princeton (4-3, 3-1) held a one-point advantage in the entertaining shootout

“I just had to move onto the next kick,” Wells said “[Sophomore long-snapper] Dylan Chayes had an excellent snap, [holder] Luke Tasker put it right down on the spot and

Spor ts

I helped us kick it through I can ’ t even explain the feeling It was amazing I was so excited and the team believed in me ”

The team also believed in its offense After a scoreless first

period in which the Red possessed the ball for over 12 minutes but failed to cash in, Cornell and Princeton each put up two touchdowns in the second quarter for a 14-14 halftime tie

The Red rediscovered big offensive plays that were customary in 2011, but elusive so far in 2012 Tasker took a short

pass 54 yards to the end zone midway through the second frame to knot the game at 7-all and Mathews found Gellatly over the top of the defense for a 74-yard strike on the next possession to hand the Red a 14-7 advantage Mathews said the explosive plays relieved an offense that has struggled to execute in the red zone, even if they were primarily a product of Princeton’s blitzes

“I think [big plays are] always kind of dictated by the team you play and Princeton is a pressure team, ” Mathews said “I knew if we could hold up up front, which we did very well today, our receivers could get open And we focused a lot this week on yards after the catch When you go down the field a lot and you ’ re in the red zone it’s easier, let’s just say, to get 50 yards "

Cornell Sweeps Colorado College in Two-Game Series

Esposito scores both goals in 2-0 shutout against Tigers

By SCOTT ECKL Sun Staff Writer

Defense dominated the Red’s first game of the 2012-13 campaign In Cornell’s 2-0 win over Colorado College on Friday night, the men ’ s hockey team did not allow a single shot by the Tigers on a power play, as junior goaltender Andy Iles recorded 19 saves in his first shutout of the year

Senior forward John Esposito was the

offensive standout of the game, notching two goals in his first contest after coming back from an injury that sidelined him most of last season Both of Esposito’s goals came on the power play as the Red (1-0-0, 0-0-0 ECAC) went two-for-six with the extra man with eight total shots Sophomore forward Cole Bardreau had two assists while sophomore forward John McCarron and sophomore

Red nets three power -play goals for close win

By DANI ABADA Sun Ass stant Sports Editor

After a 2-0 victor y over Colorado College on Friday night, the men ’ s ice hockey team returned to Lynah Rink on Saturday night for another victory this time with a 3-2 final score

“It was a good weekend, [Colorado College is] a good hockey team, ” said head coach Mike Schaefer “I think they came out with more energy and I think we were as sharp tonight as we were last night It was that kind of night that we learned a lot of lessons and came out on top ” Colorado College was off to an aggressive start, leaving junior goaltender Any Iles defending a barrage of pucks At six minutes into play, a Tigers forward took a two-minute elbowing penalty

ning of the year, so that’s encouraging to see I think we ’ re far ahead from where we started off last year, so it’s a good spot to build off of and get better ”

A few minutes later, Tigers sophomore forward Charlie Taft was able to get past Red senior defenseman and co-captain Braden Birch, take the puck down the ice and score on Iles, tying the score up at 1-1 before the first period came to a close

COLO. COLLEGE CORNELL

Just as the Cornell power play was coming to an end, sophomore forward Brian Ferlin started a rush through the neutral zone, where along with senior defenseman and co-captain Nick D’Agostino brought the puck down to the far wing Ferlin shot the puck through a sea of bodies, including junior forward Armand de Swardt, and the puck found its way into the net

“I thought we were pretty strong, especially for one of our first two games of the season, ” Ferlin said “I know last year we didn’t come out quite as strong at the begin-

The second period got off to a strong start for the Red, as just two minutes in Tigers’ junior defenseman Eamonn McDermott earned a two-minute penalty for hooking Cornell was able to capitalize on the power play again, when junior for ward Dustin Mowr y passed the puck to D’Agostino, who sent it down low, where it found sophomore forward Joel Lowry, who tipped a low shot past Colorado College goalie junior Josh Thorimbert

“D’Agostino] made a good play,” Lowry said “He tried to get it to Miller and just couldn’t get enough on it, and we kind of got the puck again in the corner I saw Nick out the weak side and just hit him I was just trying to get to the net to get some traffic and he saw me There was a seam and he just made a great pass and I just had to put my stuck on it ”
