TEI Receives $5M to Further Mission

DONATION

Continued from page 1

Dimiduk TEI also manages a library from which faculty can borrow technology in order to implement these changes, according to the press release

The donation will also help TEI continue to conduct its mid-semester evaluations, which, Dimiduk said, will help professors make changes to their courses

“When you do an end of semester evaluation, it’s too late for the professor to change what he did With mid-semester feedback, it’s easy for the professor to change,” Dimiduk said

Dimiduk added that one of TEI’s main goals is to bring in active learning to the classroom, which she said is “anything that isn’t just sitting and taking notes ”

“Research shows that human beings can only pay strict attention for 15-to-20 minutes, and then attention starts to wander So by the end of a 75minute class, it’s hard to be writing anything,”

Dimiduk said

TEI has aided teachers in introducing tools such as iClickers into the classroom and by encouraging teachers with large lectures to ask students “talk to your neighbor” questions, according to Dimiduk Dimiduk also said that TEI has changed class-

room settings to more easily accommodate active learning For example, she said an old classroom would have rows of desks with one blackboard, but, after TEI worked with the faculty, a new classroom had multiple circular tables, so students could work in groups James McCormick ’69 said the services of TEI have had a positive impact on faculty’s teaching

“I always thought that professors brilliant at research had the desire to be terrifically effective in the classroom as well It turns out that they do, and are receptive to upping their game if the right oneto-one coaching is offered,” McCormick said in the press release

Lance Collins, dean of the College of Engineering, also said in the press release that the donation would help continue the valuable services that TEI offers

“The McCormicks’ gift will have a profound and lasting impact on engineering at Cornell Like engineering itself, inspired teaching is an applied science, ” Collins said “The James McCormick Family Teaching Excellence Institute gives us the coaching, the technological tools, the expertise and the innovation to engineer courses that are more effective ”

seven or eight dollars and will be finished in four to five minutes,” he said

Oishii Bowl is the newest addition to the numerous Asian eateries in Collegetown Plum Tree, Miyake and Café Pacific are three other Japanese restaurants located near Oishii Bowl in Collegetown

Even then, Winn said he thinks the concept of a rice bowl is unlike anything ser ved by the other Japanese restaurants in Collegetown

“If you go to Plum Tree or Miyake, you order the food and they give you the rice separately,” he said “The rice bowls that they actually sell in Japan have meat put directly on top of the rice and mixed with vegetables ”

Winn noted that his inspiration for the restaurant came from his desire to bring the rice bowls typically sold by Japanese vendors to Ithaca

“Right now, we offer seven different types of rice bowls similar to what is sold in Asia,” he said

Though the restaurant will feature primarily Japanese cuisine, Winn also said that he has three Thai style rice bowls on the menu

“I have three kinds of Thai rice bowls, a mango salad, miso soup, and Japanese-style fried chicken and pork,” he said “For drinks, we offer an iced green tea latte ”

Winn said he hopes to accommodate students’ schedules and is still finalizing the restaurant ’ s hours

“On normal business days, I’m trying to be open until 10:30 at night It’s going to depend on the schedule of most Cornell students,” he said

For his long-term vision for the restaurant, Winn said he eventually hopes to turn Oishii Bowl into a franchise

“We want to set it up as a franchise and this is going to be first tried out in Collegetown We have a lot to improve right now before that,” he said

Nicholas Suss ’16 expressed his skepticism about another Asian eatery opening in Collegetown

“Miyake and Plum Tree are two very well-known restaurants among the Cornell student body so I think that opening another Japanese restaurant down the block is a little risky,” he said

However, he added that he thinks students will be excited to sample the new cuisine

“At the same time, people do have a tendency to want to try what is new around town, so I definitely think this new establishment will have good business at first, but I am interested to see how well it will do long-term,” he said

Students Say They Want to Help Victims of Typhoon

HAIYAN Continued from page 1

Although her relatives are fine, she said she is still worried about the population there, as the typhoon’s impact has been devastating

“ The typhoon that hit the Philippines has flattened down multiple towns, multiple communities and took out a lot of the adult population leaving a lot of children alone I am afraid it’s still hitting,” Arahan said

The Philippines has been struck by several major typhoons within the past two years, including Tropical Storm Khanun in 2012 and Tropical Storm Washi in 2011 Although the country ’ s gov-

ernment has made preparations for future natural disasters, the area hit by Haiyan has been seriously damaged, according to Arahan

Hannah Carandeng ’14, another member of the Cornell Filipino Association, said that, prior to Haiyan striking, the government adopted measures such as storing most relief goods in the north, where the typhoon was not going to hit as badly to prevent or at least limit the damage caused by the storm

However, officials could do nothing to protect the rural area that was most seriously hit, according to Carandeng The damage caused by the typhoon in this area was compounded by the

instability of most of the buildings there, she said

“In the countryside, there is very little chance to prevent such a catastrophe The roofs of the houses there consist of sheets of iron that are not even taped to the building,” she said, adding that rural areas also face the challenge of efficiently communicating information in the storm ’ s aftermath

Arahan said she thinks that, although a disaster cannot be prevented, more measures to prepare the population are absolutely needed Some of the most damaged communities were the more impoverished areas of the country, which were underprepared when the storm hit, she said

“I think that the most important response is the reactive one rather than the proactive one, but I believe that there is more outreach that can be done to the communities who lack the means to be as prepared as possible when such a catastrophe happens,” she said

Both Arahan and Carandeng said that they were very glad to learn that there were already many organizations including the Philippines Red Cross, UNICEF and other relief associations that are working on collecting donations and volunteers

Up until now, the Cornell Filipino Association mainly suppor ted philanthropic organizations par tnering with Advancement for Rural Kids and

the Ricefield Collective that promote an improved livelihood in the country, especially for children

Now, however, the CFA is planning on moving its philanthropic efforts towards relief, said Nina Valenzuela ’16, the philanthropy chair of the CFA She said most of the funds raised by the organization will be used to purchase relief goods

“Most of the money collected through our upcoming events will probably be used to support those organizations that are now working towards helping the Philippines to recover, ” she said

Petra Collins’ attempts to bring the rawness of the female form into the forefront of American fashion have reached a ne w climax pun intended For those of you who haven’t heard of her, Collins is a 20-year-old Canadian

a r t i s t a n d p h o t o g r a p h y s t u d e n t a t

Ontario College of Ar t and Design She h a s p h o t o g r a p h e d f o r Vo g u e , Ur b a n Outfitters and VICE, but is most well known for her recent collaboration with American Apparel on the “ The Ardorous X” fashion line The controversial line features raw depictions of the female f o r m , i n c l u d i n g a t - s h i r t w i t h a n unshaven, menstr uating vagina accompanied by a hand in a masturbator y position While her line is controversial, these sor ts of themes of women ’ s sexual liberation are nothing ne w

Earlier this month, Collins got herself into a whole bunch of trouble with the folks at Instagram after she posted a photo of herself wearing a bikini where her own pubic hair emerges from the bottoms In response, Collins’ Instagram account was deleted As provocative as it

w a s f o r h e r t o post such a thing

o n I n s t a g r a m , the act definitely b e g s t h e q u e stion: What is so t h re a t e n i n g a n d

nothing to violate Instagram’s terms of use which state, “ you may not post viol e n t , n u d e , d i s c r i m i n a t o r y, u n l a w f u l , infringing, hateful, pornographic photos or other content via the Ser vice ” I have seen the picture that got her account dismantled, and I can assure you that I’ve seen much worse as in the mainstream media We see Rihanna’s beaten face all over the ne ws after her bout of batter y with Chris Brown, we see Miley’s popularity has soared when she does awkward, naked things on a wrecking ball and, on Instagram alone, several million photos include the hashtag “bikini” without any backlash from the company It is shocki n g e n o u g h t h a t t h e s e d e p i c t i o n s o f women are the cultural norm So, why is it that an image of a woman ’ s pubic hair has caused such an

uproarious response? Yes, maybe pubes are generally kind of a gross thing and maybe most of us prefer not to have anything to do with them, but how did we develop these preferences? If any of you h a v e s t u d i e d f e m i n i s t t h e o r y, y o u ’ v e probably come across the notion that one of the greatest oppressive mechanisms for women in contemporar y society is teaching us to vie w our bodies through a male lens We are taught to diet, dress and design our appearances all in order to create docile bodies that take up as little space as possible Ladies, perhaps you ’ ve never realized this before, but oftentimes, when we think about our appearances, we are measuring them, not based on our own, independently c o n

by

society What Petra did created such a splash because it explicitly por trays femininity in an organic state, void of any tampering to fit the masculine-lens of beauty It is impor tant to recognize the implications of women without pubic hair in t e r m s o f

What is so

offensive

from preferences for cer tain sexual acts, the absence of pubic hair is c

m

n i scent of a prepubescent girl This trend only reinforces the reduction of women to a docile, childish objects

Men and women alike are so often bombarded with pressures to alter their n a

attractive enough the way they are However, we should examine our feelings of shock and disdain upon seeing the female body in its most organic state

By

counter-cultural way, Collins made the statement that, perhaps, we should be more critical of the pressures we feel to modify our bodies based on the cultural standards that have been forced upon us

The Cornell Daily Sun s digital archives The article, which dates back to Nov 14, 1956, is entitled “Salk Urges Adult Vaccination, Predicts Freedom From Polio ” The news clipping begins with this statement:

“Dr Jonas E Salk today recommended that adults up to age 50 take shots of Salk polio vaccine It they do, and if all children are vaccinated, then 1957 could be the first year of complete or nearly complete freedom from paralysis by polio, the Pittsburgh scientist predicted ”

It is quite eerie to read this statement and reflect on how, more than 50 years ago, Cornellians were reading breaking news stories about the creation of the polio vaccine I think it s safe to say that no one could have predicted that the world 50 years after the publication of that article would be nearly free of polio According to the World Health Organization, as of April 2013, only three countries (Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan) remained polio-endemic However, within the last seven months, it seems as though everything has changed It is extremely heartbreaking that almost 57 years after that story was first published, we are now facing the threat of a massive polio outbreak

About a month ago, it was confirmed that the poliovirus had been seen in Syria for the first time in 14 years Although there have been

Mankind has had the ability to eradicate polio for more than 50 years, and yet we still find ourselves living in a wolrd that is not yet free from polio paralysis

polio outbreaks in the past (in fact, it was reported as recently as Oct, 1 that Somalia has witnessed 175 cases of polio since April 2013), this particular outbreak has proven to be a more dangerous threat to the rest of the world A virus that is transmitted via contaminated food and water, polio can spread rapidly among children, especially within the unsanitary and debilitating conditions of the refugee camps within and outside of Syria

In a Reuters report last week, the WHO stated that the virus most likely reached Syria from Pakistan, which is one of the three remaining polio-endemic countries, and that the spread of the virus poses a threat to all children across the Middle East As a result, the WHO has repeatedly warned the world that as long as a single child remains infected with the disease, children everywhere are at risk

With this warning in mind, German scientists are now claiming that Europe also faces the threat of being exposed to polio, as Syrian refugees are not only fleeing to neighboring countries, but to countries within Europe as well Furthermore, most European countries use inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) rather than oral polio vaccine (OPV), which is a live form of immunization So, while IPV is effective at preventing polio from occurring, it isn’t as effective at providing protection from infection if the virus is actively circulating Thus, it is very possible that the virus, which hasn’t been seen in Europe for decades, could be reintroduced to the continent

The Syrian Civil War has been going on for more than two years now, and it seems that there is no end in sight Ultimately, as the bloodshed continues and the Syrian people suffer, the consequences of war and armed conflict are far-reaching and immediate for everyone throughout the world It only takes one small event to cause a negative and disastrous chain reaction of global proportions Although the origins of that one event are shrouded in mystery, the reintroduction of a disease that was so close to being eradicated is a deplorable testament to the horrors of war and its devastating ramifications for every person on this planet So, exactly three days before the 57th publication anniversary of The Sun’s once-hopeful and promising news story, I urge you to consider the tragic irony in the fact that mankind has had the ability to eradicate polio for more than 50 years, and yet we still find ourselves living in a world that is not yet free from polio paralysis

Comm en t of the day

“I agree that the GOP should attract more minority votes by genuinely helping them rather than tricking them But it’s not clear that Julius is saying that He seems to suggest that the GOP should focus on the policies which minority voters are more likely to favor. I think this is better than actually changing your ideas on what’s best for individuals in this country just to get more votes and stay in power In reality, both Democrats and Republicans usually ‘try to beguile them to their side’ and don’t ‘genuinely want to help’ anyone but themselves (politicians) ”

TOver the S ound of Traf c

here were many evenings back home when I walked through a patch of tall trees incongruously placed in the midst of a city and heard, over the thunder of traffic on a nearby highway, the soft liquid notes of a wood thrush, harmonizing with itself

This little swath of forest in Rochester, N Y , the city where I went to high school, is called Washington Grove I know nothing about why it is there It is part of Cobb’s Hill Park, one of a line of hills that runs through Rochester (glacial in origin, like many landforms in upstate New York), nestled beside the hill, butting up against the backyards of one of the nicer neighborhoods in Rochester It’s quite small, only a few acres, but somehow it has sur vived the march of development through what is now Monroe County Washington Grove is not what most people would call a wilderness It has the pit and mound topography of a forest that has never been plowed or put to pasture, but it has certainly been impacted by humans Invasive Norway maples grow there among the oaks and tulip poplars, and there is a particularly large non-native cherr y growing there as well

Paths for jogging and dogwalking run through it The sound of traffic is pervasive, absent only when it is raining quite hard Wilderness doesn’t really exist anymore; not a square inch of the earth goes untroubled by mankind, so why worry? What is the difference between natural and unnatural? Who cares? Why is it so damn important that we protect nature, if we don’t even know what it is? It’s a question I wish didn’t have to be asked, but there is still a great deal of apathy in the greater community, at Cornell and certainly in the world People are the most difficult element in any plan for sustainability,

attests to that But, why are so many people still convinced that nature plays second fiddle to the economy, to their car?

I don’t think this line of argument is as effective as some might hope, because I suspect that most people don’t really believe any of that (in the sense that picturing things on a global scale is too difficult, that attaching numbers to anything is usually secondary to how we feel about something) Activists for wildlife or old growth forest preservation produce such numbers only when forced into corners; they fight first and foremost for the love they bear for “ nature ” I am speaking to those readers

What is the difference between natural and unnatural? Who cares Why is so damn important the we protect nature, if we don’t even know what it is?

so how do you get people to care?

I could quote the study published in Nature magazine years ago, which stated that a minimum estimate for the dollar value of “ ecosystem services” worldwide was 33 trillion U S dollars per year Global GDP at the time was 18 trillion Clearly “ nature ” is a good long term investment Our lives rely on functioning, stable ecosystems much research

who do not think that nature has intrinsic value, or at least not a very great one: What can I do to convince you to feel what I feel? I suppose I could try to quote some more at you elevant passages from the various religious texts of the world, perhaps? Shall I read aloud on the street from Thoreau? Proselytizing does no good Anyone who didn’t already agree with my basic premise and even some

who did wouldn’t be able to see past the pretension (Ah, another collegeage environmentalist who reads Thoreau, how original ) Repeating what other people have already said obviously won ’ t work No, it’s something more personal, spiritual, an aesthetic judgment I would never try to claim that such a judgment is more important than food or water or housing, but I do think it can be more important than the consumerism that this nation is infamous for, more meaningful than convenience or speed I can ’ t convince you, though I am writing this in part to express that frustration felt by activists who just don’t get why other people don’t get it, but also hoping that someday those people will All of the tools I have at my disposal do not have the power to say what it is that I want to say The only thing that I could really do would be to take people into the woods, to stop the joggers on the paths and pull off their headphones, and to ask ever yone to pause for just a few seconds and really listen over the sound of traffic to that wood thrush

Spurs Handle Knick s

With E ase at Garden

NEW YORK (AP) Danny Green had 24 points and a career-high 10 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs pounded the New York Knicks 120-89 on Sunday for their fourth straight victory

Kawhi Leonard scored 18 points and Tony Parker had 17 in a game that was close for about 3 minutes San Antonio scored the first 10 points, led by as many as 37, and was in complete control in between

Tim Duncan took just four shots but finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds as San Antonio shot 54 percent

The Spurs spoiled the season debut of Knicks guard J R Smith, last season ' s Sixth Man of the Year Suspended the first five games of the season for violating the NBA's anti-drug program, Smith shot 1 of 9 and scored five points in 20 minutes

Carmelo Anthony and Andrea Bargnani both scored 16 for the Knicks

Though San Antonio leads the Western Conference with a 6-1 record, coach Gregg Popovich said before the game the Spurs were playing C+ or Bbasketball, adding there was " not much" he liked about the Spurs' start

Well, hard to give this performance anything but an A+

Green hit two 3-pointers in the 10-0 start, Marco Belinelli's 3 made it 174, and the Spurs hit 13 of 18 shots while opening a 35-17 lead after one quarter, matching their highest-scoring period of the season

Smith, who ended the postseason in a miserable shooting slump, opened this season the same way He missed all five shots in the first half, unable to shake the rust after appearing in just one preseason game following summer knee surgery

By the time he made a 3-pointer with 8:43 left in the third quarter for his first basket, the Knicks trailed by 26 points The Spurs went up by 30 a few minutes later on another 3 by Green, and fans loudly booed when Amare Stoudemire missed both free throws with a little less than 3 minutes left in the period

The Knicks won both meetings last season, sweeping the Spurs for the first time in 10 years But with center Tyson Chandler sidelined with a broken leg, New York looked defenseless against the Western Conference champions

It was such a laugher that Popovich had Duncan, a career 69 percent free throw shooter, take the shot when Knicks coach Mike Woodson was called for a technical foul in the third quarter Naturally, the way this one went, Duncan made it

lead in the match-up Less than eight minutes into the first period, Ryan fired a wrist shot that slid past the right post to give the Red the 1-0 lead Rensselaer came back in the second period, however, scoring on a short-handed goal 1:11 into the period It was the first short-handed goal the Red had given up in 52 games, a streak dating back to January of 2012

The Engineers added their second goal late in the second period during a power play for the 2-1 lead They netted their last goal, an even strength tally, 7:59 into t h e t h i rd p e r i o d f o r t h e 3 - 1 advantage

The next day’s game was a fr ustrating affair for the Red, which failed to put away several early chances against Union and suffered its second shutout in six games The Red has yet to outshoot an opponent this season, and managed only 11 shots on goal compared to the Dutchmen’s 31

“Our forwards were just there’s no other way to say it

they were awful,” head coach Mike Schafer ’86 said in a state-

y turned pucks over, they didn’t know where they were going, they didn’t do the things we talked about Bringing pucks to the net, they didn’t do that They looked to pass all the time; just a frustrating night all around ”

After a scoreless first period, the Red surrendered the first goal seven minutes into the second, allowing Union to put away a re

Gotisbehere tallied the second goal for Union more than halfway through the third period, sliding the puck inside the right post Five minutes later, Union took advantage of an odd-man rush, firing a wrist shot past Iles on a two-on-one for the 3-0 lead

“[The third goal] was reflective of our forwards’ effort and will to win,” Schafer said in the statement “They had a greater will tonight than we did ”

Red One of Two Undefeated NC AA Teams Remaining

By BEN HOROWITZ Sun Staff Wr ter

The No 3 Cornell women ’ s hockey team went undefeated in two ECAC contests this weekend at Lynah Rink, and after these impressive wins over Rensselaer and Union, the Red remains one of only two unbeaten teams in the NCAA After defeating Rensselaer (3-7-1, 2-2-0 ECAC) in a close Friday night contest, 3-1, the Red enjoyed a lopsided win over Union (4-8, 1-3 ECAC), 8-1, on Saturday According to senior forward and captain Jessica Campbell, the Red’s unbeaten streak is cementing its elite

position above most other teams in the league

“Me and Alyssa Gagliardi, the other cocaptain, have been talking to the team about how there are a lot of ups and downs in the league, and the Minnesota Gophers are the only other undefeated team, but we want to be the exception,” she said “We don’t want to be that team that just follows everyone else this year and can be beaten by anyone on any given day We want to be the frontrunner, and our coach says that at this point in the season, halfway through the first half, you start to see great teams separate themselves from average teams ”

Friday’s game against the Engineers started off relatively slowly, with Cornell killing off two RPI power plays early in the period

Junior for ward Jillian Saulnier broke through with a goal on Cornell’s first power play with about four minutes left in the first, and freshman Hanna Bunton netted her first collegiate goal with just one tenth of a second left in the period, giving the Red a 20 edge According to Campbell, the Red’s ability to score on the power play and kill penalties are key aspects of its success

“We put a lot of work into our special teams, power play and penalty kill, and I think thats starting to show,” she said “It’s nice to see early on that we ’ re having success on the power play and defending a lot of penalty kills as well, because as we move forward it’s going to be crucial to our success

To be able to get confident in those systems now is huge for us because they do make a big impact on the result of the game ”

According to Saulnier, strong chemistry on the power play has been a crucial component of its success

“I think we ’ re talking well, and we ’ re getting used to each other and where everyone ’ s going to be,” she said “Sometimes that’s what makes good teams great, knowing where your teammates are going to be without even having to look We’ve been working on that a lot in practice and we ’ ve been getting lots of opportunities in games to execute ”

The special teams success continued in the second, with Cornell killing off a fiveon-three power play to preserve the 2-0 lead The Engineers cut their deficit to one in the third, but Saulnier responded by scoring her second of the game to seal the win

Saturday’s win over the Dutchmen was far easier Cornell scored four goals in the first period and enjoyed a 6-0 lead before Union could get one goal on the board

Freshman goalie Paula Voorheis saw her first collegiate action when the game was well in hand and made 18 saves

“I think the greatest thing to see on our team is that everyone has contributed, and if you look at the statistics, every line, even defense, are getting big goals for us It’s great to see that we ’ re all having success, ” Campbell said

This coming weekend, the Red will travel to face traditional rivals Harvard and Dartmouth in two important ECAC contests

“The win happens and it’s in the past, and you ' re on to the next game, so just making sure to stay humble and continue to focus on our goals will hopefully lead us to the success that we want, ” Campbell said

According to Campbell, the Red is confident in its abilities and is excited for the upcoming games

“We’re trying to stick with what’s working for us and to keep building, because we are very confident in what we ’ re doing and we ’ re going to keep moving forward and keep getting better,” she said “It’s great to have an awesome start like we ’ re having, and our team is very excited to see where it’s going We have some huge games coming up this weekend If we can come up big this weekend it’s going to make a statement and send a message to the rest of the league that we ’ re going to keep leading the way ”

Saturday and traveling to Penn (4-4, 3-2) on Nov 23 The last home contest against the winless Lions could be the perfect cure for the Red’s losing ills

“ We are going to work hard and put ever ything we have into these last two games and put the seniors out on a good note, ” Hagy said “ They have put so much into this program; they deser ve it But nothing comes easy ”

Red Falls Despite Strong First Half

No. 8 Syracuse gets a scare from Cornell at Carrier Dome

By BRIAN GORDON Sun Contributor

The No 8 Syracuse Orange (1-0) defeated the Cornell Big Red (0-1), 82-60 on Friday night, but the 22-point final deficit tells only half the story The Red came to play at the Carrier Dome, jumping out to a surprising 14-point first-half lead, leaving a mostly hostile crowd of 24,788 stunned

Sophomore guard Nolan Cressler caught fire for much of the first half, totaling 20 points in the game ’ s first 16 minutes A two-time Ivy League Rookie of the Week last season, Cressler was transcendent on Friday, finding pockets of open space throughout Syracuse’s vaunted 2-3 zone Cressler, along with freshman guard Robert Hatter, paced Cornell early, as the Red outplayed and outhustled a much larger and more skilled Orange squad in front of a raucous Syracuse student section As point guard, the inexperienced Hatter demonstrated considerable poise on the court

“My teammates welcome me, they let me be a leader They trust me and I trust them,” said the freshman from Houston Hatter finished with nine points and two assists in only 14 minutes of play

As a team, the Big Red shot 43 percent from behind the arc in the first half, keeping the increasingly frustrated Orange from cutting into a deficit that hovered around ten for much of the period Each time Syracuse would piece together a run, Cornell seemed to answer with a three ball As a fan in the Syracuse student section

dryly stated, “Cornell has figured out that three points is more than two They truly are in the Ivy League ”

Defensively, the Red was stout as well, preventing preseason ACC Player of the Year C J Fair from ever getting into a rhythm

“We did a lot of things that we wanted to do in the first half We wanted them to take outside jump shots, contested jumps shots,” said head coach Bill Courtney, who is entering his fourth season at the helm for the Red Fair put the first points on the board for either squad with an easy lefty layup Cornell answered a minute later when Hatter, playing his first minute of non-exhibition collegiate basketball, lobbed a precise pass to a soaring freshman forward David Onuorah for an alley-oop dunk This sparked a 7-0 run for the Red, who would stretch the lead into double digits as the first half wore on A combination of relentless zone and man-to-man pressure from senior forward Dwight Tarwater and junior guard Devin Cherry kept Fair, an NBA prospect, under control for much of the game Fair finished with 19 points, but also had 7 turnovers

Cressler’s 20th point was notched on a goaltending jumper, which stretched Cornell’s lead to its largest margin of the night, 36-22 Behind a pair of Trevor Cooney three pointers, the Orange put together a 10-2 run to close the half, leaving Cornell to take a rather precarious six-point lead into the halftime locker room In the second half, Cressler could not sustain his hot shooting stroke The sophomore credited second

Icers S core Twice in Two Minutes, Tie Rensselaer

By EMILY BERMAN Sun Assistant Sports Editor

Fo r 7 6 c o n s e c u t i ve g a m e s , senior goaltender Andy Iles has been the consistent, stabilizing presence for the men ’ s ice hockey team It was without him on the ice, however, that the Red shone on Friday night, scoring two goals in the final 1:35 of regulation with Iles pulled for the extra attacker to give Cornell a 3-3 tie with No 10/13 Rensselaer The No 14/15 Red (3-2-1, 1-2-1) failed to keep t h e m o m e n t u m g o i n g i n t o Saturday’s matchup, though, and was shutout 3-0 for the second straight Saturday, falling to Union in a game in which the Red mustered only 11 shots

Ju n i o r f o r w a rd a n d c a p t a i n

John McCarron assisted on both of Friday’s late goals, increasing his

team-leading point total to nine points in six games For the first goal, he dished the puck from behind the net to sophomore linemate Christian Hilbrich, who sent

Diebold to tie the game with 30 seconds remaining Despite clawing its way back to a tie, the Red had held the initial

The 2013 season doesn’t appear to be turning around any time soon The Cornell football team turned in a dud of a performance on the NBC Sports Network to lose its seventh straight game, falling to Dartmouth, 34-6, on Saturday evening in Hanover, N H

While the Red (1-7, 0-5 Ivy League) punted after its first seven possessions and threw an interception on the eighth, Dartmouth (4-4, 32) rushed for 291 yards and held the ball for over 38 of the 60 minutes Cornell’s defense played well in spurts, but wasn ’ t nearly good enough to hold off the steady Green attack that produced 510 total yards, led by sophomore quarterback Dalyn Williams

Williams passed for 156 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 110 gained yards It got so ugly that junior backup and former starter Alex Park took over with 10 minutes to play with a 27-6 Green lead, completing all four passes for 63 yards and a score Williams’ first career start was a win over the Red in Ithaca in 2012 when Park was injured, and the sophomore’s dualthreat ability has kept him on the job since

The Cornell offense, meanwhile, couldn’t get into a rhythm all night, mustering only 11 first downs and 216 yards against the Ancient Eight’s best defense Senior quarterback Jeff Mathews had only 169 yards of offense, just over half his season average of 331 Mathews leads the FCS in proportion of team ’ s yardage and quite clearly, as he goes, so goes the Red offense

“Dartmouth has a very good defense, but it wasn ’ t as much of what they did but more of what we didn’t do,” sophomore running back Luke Hagy said in a text message to the Sun “We didn’t execute and had penalties that killed us We were the ones that stopped ourselves ” Mathews short-armed a few throws early, suffered a few drops by receivers and was sacked four times The Red tried to establish a running

game early, as Hagy carried eight times for 30 yards in the first half But after falling behind 21-0 by intermission, the visitors were quickly forced to do what they do best pass but were wholly unable to do so until the game was out of reach in the fourth quarter

“We believed we could run on them and that our [offensive line] was moving the line of scrimmage,” Hagy said “Once you get down a couple scores and it gets later in the game, it’s harder to run and especially with our offense and Jeff at quarterback we can score pretty quickly ”
