Pres. Supports Ithaca Drug Plan

By NICHOLAS BOGEL-BURROUGHS Sun Staff Writer

Ruth Dreifuss, former president of Switzerland and current commissioner of an organization promoting “humane” drug policy, visited some of the region’s most marginalized communities on Wednesday and voiced her support for Mayor Svante Myrick’s ’09 plan to reduce heroin overdoses

“Some people will never go to a social service, so they need people who are in the street, at their side, working for them not in an office, but in the street.” R u t h D

s

Dreifuss, one of 25 former presidents and activists now working with the Global Commission on Drug Policy, visited a homeless encampment in the forests and fields off of Route 13, Cayuga Correctional Facility in Moravia, a grouping of nine cottages in Newfield designed to provide affordable housing, and the Southern Tier AIDS Program, which provides Ithaca’s needle exchange service

Over lunch at Madeline’s on the Commons, Dreifuss and Myrick also discussed The Ithaca Plan, a four-pillar proposal introduced in February that aims to reduce heroin deaths in Ithaca The plan has attracted national media attention because of its controverial recommendation that Ithaca create supervised injection sites, where drug users can shoot up a small amount of heroin under the watch of medical professionals

Dreifuss lauded the plan, saying Myrick was aiming “ to leave nobody behind” and “ to find a way, even very original ways, to enter into contact

One Year Later: BSU Demands Stand

University has granted some requests; leaders say

By JOSH GIRSKY Sun News Editor

Today marks the one year anniversary of when members of Black Students United stood on tables in Trillium and shouted chants to disrupt daily life, before delivering a set of demands to Day Hall that would have lasting effects on Cornell

The protest aimed to show that the racial discrimination widely publicized at Yale, University of Missouri and Ithaca College was also occurring at Cornell, according to Delmar Fears ’19, a member of the BSU political action committee

Fears recalled various stories of racial discrimination on and around campus She told the story of a person of color being turned away from a party based on her skin color and described when a professor referred to a black student in class as the “black girl ”

Jaylexia Clark ’19, another member of the BSU political action committee, described an incident where people threw glass bottles at a black student in Collegetown, calling him Trayvon, soon after Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida

“I’m actually from Florida,” she said “ That wasn ’ t a joke to us Back home when that happened A lot of my friends and I didn’t want to go to class We didn’t want to

leave our houses ”

Clark said she hoped to escape discrimination when she decided to go to school up north but was not successful when she arrived at Cornell

“That type of malice is everywhere,” she said “You can ’ t go to one place and expect to escape from it ”

D e m a n d s

After the demonstration in Trillium last year, members of BSU walked to Day Hall and delivered a letter that listed 14 demands, actions that the group said the University should take if it was serious about upholding its motto of “ any person, any study ”

“It is time for Cornell to be on the right side of history,” the letter read

According to BSU Co-President Amber Aspinall ’17, the initial response by the administration was positive Vice President of Student and Campus Life Ryan Lombardi and President Elizabeth Garrett attended a dinner at Ujaama that night with many members of BSU BSU leadership recalled that they were told some things on the list would take longer

Students Clash on Restructuring S.A.

By MATT ORMSETH Sun Staff Writer

Student Assembly President Jordan Berger ’17 opened Wednesday night’s restructuring forum by asking students to raise their hands if they thought the S A was representative in its current state Not one single person raised a hand

Berger explained that the forum was prompted by last year ’ s addition of a first-generation student representative The S A fielded requests from other minority groups on campus for representatives of their own but ultimately decided to rework the assembly’s

existing structure instead of tacking on more representatives

“It doesn’t make sense to just keep arbitrarily adding seats until we have a conversation about the structure of the S A , ” Berger said after the meeting

At the forum, the S A responded to a litany of grievances from students concerned and frustrated with a governing body they called opaque, unaccountable and inegalitarian

Some students called for representation of all minority groups on campus, regardless of size Seamus Murphy ’16, president emeritus of Cornell Undergraduate Veterans Association, said there were only

22 student veterans like him on campus, arguing that they should not be shunted aside simply because they make up less than a percentage point of Cornell’s overall population

However, Weihong Rong ’18, College of Arts and Sciences representative and a Sun designer, asked where the S A would draw the line

“Even if you actively seek out the marginalized groups on campus and areas that are of concern, you ’ re essentially trying to look for an exhaustive list and you can ’ t find that exhaustive list,” he said

English Prof Facilitates ‘Civil’ Debates on Contentious Issues

“ The University is the last remaining utopia,” said Prof Dagmawi Woubshet, English, quoting Edward Said a late Palestinian Columbia University literature

p r o f e s s o r “ W i t h o u t being too romantic, I believe the classroom

i s o n e s p a c e w h e r e real difficult conversation can take place,” Woubshet said

A t H a r v a rd University, Woubshet

s a i d h e o r i g i n a l l y planned on studying diplomacy, anticipati n g a t t e n d i n g l a w school and eventually working for Amnesty International or the United Nations He

e x p l a i n e d t h a t h i s early interest in poli-

t i c s w a s p a r t i a l l y fueled by his child-

h o o d i n Et h i o p i a

m u n i s t g ov e r n m e n t for the first 13 years of his life made poli-

t i c s “ p a r t o f o u r

” h e said

However, the second semester of his junior year, Woubshet

s a i d h e t o o k

“Literatures of New World Africa,” his first ever literature course and one that “blew his mind ”

“Ultimately, I think there are these moments where students be it in a classroom, be it any experience during college are totally redirected as to what they thought they would do,” he said Woubshet called the first day of his literature class

framed the course with one of Woubshet’s favorite songs ’ “ The first day the professor played one of my favorite Bob Marley songs, ” he said “It’s ‘Babylon System’ from the Sur vival album, and then for the next 45 minutes, he talked about [the song] in a way that was totally i n a c c e s s i b l e t o m e , using theor y ”

Woubshet said he was inspired to learn how to talk about the things he loved with as m

n and depth as his professor demonstrated in the introductor y lecture

“ The ver y idea that you can star t a literature course in an E n g l i s h d e p a r t m e n t w i t h a B o b M a r l e y lyric and then expand and frame the course using that lyric I thought that was so power ful,” he said Ev e n t h o u g h h e shifted his focus from p o l i t i c s t o l i t e r a t u re , Wo u b s h e t m a i n t a i n s that his initial training in histor y and political science still influe n c e s t h e w a y h e t h i n k s a b o u t l i t e r a -

ture

“Like how literature can inter vene in a public sphere and talk about issues like AIDS and power relations, and I think literature can be a major conduit to think about these things,” he said

In addition to teaching African American literature, Woubshet said he equips his students with ways to dis-

cuss race in American society, such as “how race intersects with other markers of identity like gender, sexuality and class ”

“If a literature class can give [students] some way, without being prescriptive, without being polemical, to deal with pressing issues, at least they have a vocabular y, and they have a perspective to critically contend with these issues,” he said

Woubshet said he advises students who pursue careers in medicine, law and public health policy, among many other diverse fields, citing critical thinking and analysis as important skills that help students succeed

“ The ways in which an English major has prepared [students] for all that they are doing now, that in itself to me is a testament that this is a major that is capacious, it’s expansive in terms of its reach,” he said

Woubshet also highlighted the unique approach to learning he takes in a classroom setting

“ The sense that I have as a teacher is that I’m also a student in the classroom, and to be open to the insights that my students bring to the classroom, I think that g i ve s a d i f f e re n t o r i e n t a t i o n , ” h e said “It’s another w a y o f b re a k i n g down the hierarchy between the professor and the s t u d e n t t h e idea that education is only one way it’s breaking down that paradigm ”

“Without being too romantic, I believe the clasroom is one space where real difficult conversations can take place ” P

By breaking down these barriers, Woubshet said he allows his classroom to be a place where contentious and difficult thoughts can be expressed, an interaction often made difficult in a public sphere

“As we ’ re seeing in this political election a public space where different clashing ideas can be critically analyzed,” he said “ You leave the classroom and the civility still remains That’s a rare thing ”

Josh Peck Talks Jewish Identity, Working on Drake and Josh

By TALIA STERN Sun Staff Writer

“How come Jews don’t go to jail? Because we eat lox,” Josh Peck joked to a full house of over 600 attendees in Call Auditorium Wednesday evening The former star of Nickelodeon’s Drake and Josh attracted so many Cornell students and visitors that attendees exceeded the auditorium’s capacity, forcing organizers to turn people away

Peck was not afraid to joke about his Jewish identity, saying all Jewish men “end up marrying our mothers ”

At 12 years old, Peck said he auditioned for The Amanda Show, where he first met his future co-star, Drake Bell Peck confessed that he and Bell “did not like each other” at first, but after a few months, Peck finally won Bell over with his standup comedy

“I think I tried to be funny because I was fat. And you can’t be the sad fat kid, that’s rough ”

J

o s h P e c k

“I don’t know man, I’m proud to be Jewish,” he said “I fucks with some Hamantaschen ”

Peck described growing up in New York City with a single mother and attending a performing arts high school

“I think I tried to be funny because I was fat,” he said “And you can ’ t be the sad fat kid, because that’s rough ”

“From that moment on I thought, ‘ you laugh at my jokes, I love you, ’” he said Peck explained that he and Bell received their big break while on The Amanda Show Nickelodeon had been looking for the next “buddy comedy,” and the producer, Dan Schneider, thought they would be the perfect duo to star in Drake and Josh

Since Drake and Josh ended after four seasons, Peck said he has been acting in other television shows and films, such as The Mindy Project, Drillbit Taylor and Grandfathered

Peck shared some of his best celebrity costar encounters with the audience, featuring Tom Cruise, Chris Hemsworth and John Stamos Peck’s co-star in Grandfathered

“[Stamos is] super handsome We would go out together and people would say ‘Oh my god John Stamos I love Full House’ and then they would turn to me and go ‘I fuck with Drake and Josh too, ’” he said Peck also fielded several questions about his past co-stars, like Miranda Cosgrove and Amanda Bynes, and obliged when asked to

perform his most famous lines: “Hug me brotha” and “I aint callin’ you a truther!”

This event was presented by the Cornell Hillel Major Speaker Series and made possible by a gift from the Himan Brown Charitable Trust

Other students disagreed, saying under-representation of marginalized groups remains the larger issue

“A big concern that we ’ re all having is that we ’ re going to keep adding chairs, and it’s just going to get way too huge I don’t really see that as a problem,”

Ana Bordallo ’20 said “As a Pacific Islander, I want to see more people like me come through here I want to make sure they have a place here by the time I leave ” David Gouldthorpe ’18 described economic barriers to the political process at Cornell He said he works 15 hours a week at an on-campus job to help support his mother and younger brother, which is why does not have the time or money to run for a seat on S A

“A lot of people get a few hundred dollars wired to them by their parents every week, whereas I have to wire money home every month to help cover bills,” he said “I don’t have a whole lot to spare for promo items I don’t have a lot of time to do chalk drawings ”

Involvement in the political

process at Cornell requires significant social capital, and popularity comes at a cost, Gouldthorpe said

“I’m not as popular because I don’t go to these social events, ” he said “I can ’ t pay membership dues to fraternities or Greek life that help people with connections It is by design that poorer

“There’s a lot of people who are just angry or have no idea what’s actually done.” S a m i r D u r v a s u l a ’ 1 7 M

students like me are shut out ”

Julia Montejo ’17, vice president of diversity and inclusion, acknowledged that the S A needs to do more to include lowincome students in the political system, but she said it is difficult for representatives to step outside their personal experiences when making legislative decisions

“If you ’ re not living a reality, it’s hard for you to sympathize with it,” she said “You’re going to homogenize that reality when you talk about it ”

A number of students said they have little idea what the S A

actually does and they have little to no contact with their college representatives

Berger said representatives were required to reach out to their constituencies at least once a semester but admitted that this often happened at the end of the term, just before the deadline

Students were visibly frustrated with a system they characterized as reactive, rather than proactive

“We shouldn’t have to ‘ get cozy ’ with anyone, ” Gouldthorpe said, in response to S A member Gabe Kaufman ’18 saying he should reach out to his representatives to “ get cozy ” with them

Samir Durvasula ’17, a member of the S A diversity committee, said he noticed a “huge disillusionment with the S A ” after talking to students He added that he is not disillusioned with the S A himself, but the community’s grievances remain a concern

“There’s a lot of people who are just angry or have no idea of what’s actually being done,” he said “I think that’s something that really needs to be addressed ”

with all the people who are in need ”

“You can always find solutions for 80 percent of the population that’s quite easy, ” Dreifuss said The 20 percent “who are not integrated,” she added, “these are the people you have the duty to find original pragmatic ways to enter into contact with them and to bring them the ser vices they need ”

Myrick said he was “thrilled” to meet Dreifuss six months ago, especially given that the approach he wants to bring to Ithaca was “first pioneered” in Switzerland

“If the United States had done what Switzerland did 20 years ago, we would have two thirds fewer overdose deaths in america today,”

Myrick said “If we had followed Switzerland’s lead, there would have been 5,000 fewer funerals last year ”

Dreifuss said Wednesday was “ a very dense day” as she traveled from a prison to the homeless encampment known as “the jungle,” and then to the Southern Tier AIDS Program

Dreifuss she said was particularly impressed by an employee at the Southern Tier AIDS Program who had previously been addicted himself People who have personally been affected by drugs,

Dreifuss said, are the city’s best allies in reducing heroin deaths

In her experience in Switzerland, Dreifuss said, “the people directly concerned were our best teachers ”

“I know nothing or not a lot about drugs,” she continued “I know nothing or not a lot about sex work But I can tell you what I learned through the people who are consuming drugs, what I learned the people who are sex workers, what I learned through the first gay organization fighting against AIDS because they knew a lot ”

Addicts and drug consumers, Dreifuss said, must have access to services at the street-level, because many people will not make the decision to go to a hospital or to an office for help Instead, she said, aid workers and others must come to them

Dreifuss said there are lawyers in Denmark who ride around Copenhagen’s streets on bicycles with coffee, snacks and law books, from which they advise people who “ were not able to go to an office of a lawyer, but were able to speak to a street lawyer ”

Bursting the Cornell Bubble

DONALD TRUMP’S ELECTION CAME AS A SHOCK to many, including a significant number of Cornell students His victory is surprising for many reasons: Trump will be the first president with no formal political or military experience before entering the White House; he began his campaign with a promise to build a wall along the U S -Mexican border and have Mexico pay for it; throughout his campaign, Trump has made racist, sexist, Islamophobic and otherwise hateful comments

Yet it should be less of a surprise that rural voters overwhelmingly supported Trump, especially since the Democratic establishment and progressive elites have dismissed them throughout the campaign and for the past several years This should not surprise Cornell students and faculty, who live in deep blue Ithaca but are surrounded by a sea of red Every county adjoining Tompkins County which Hillary won with more than 60 percent of votes supported Trump

In our Cornell bubble one that is overwhelmingly liberal we sometimes forget about the importance of engaging with those who are politically different from us In this election cycle in particular, many of us neglected rural voters and did not hear their growing frustration with government Even post-election, many Trump protesters are writing off those who voted for him, without making the effort to understand why Trump’s message resonated with specific groups Trump’s election is a rude awakening that the Cornell bubble often insulates us from the fact that the ideas and innovations generated at universities like Cornell are not always connecting with people outside the bubble Liberals will not simply get their way by continuing to support p

Congressman Tom Reed (R-N Y ), for example, resoundingly defeated Democratic challenger John Plumb, even though 70 8 percent of Tompkins County residents cast their ballot for Plumb

However, acknowledging the frustration of rural voters and understanding their motivations for voting for Trump is not equivalent to normalizing our president-elect’s policies and actions Let’s not mince words: Trump represents an appalling brand of racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia that rightly frightens many people on our campus, and some of the areas that Trump won are sites of deep-seated and dangerous vitriol Even if not every Trump supporter is racist, all of them decided to support him either in spite of or because of his hateful speech

Yet to move forward, these are some of the very people that we members of a private university privileged with access to some of this nation’s best educational opportunities can no longer afford to ignore We must bridge this country ’ s widening political fissures, the most prominent of which is the rural-urban divide Of course, not all rural voters are conservative or support Trump, just as not all urban voters are liberal or Democrats But rural voters are feeling increasingly ignored by their government representatives and expressed this disconnect with a vote for Trump, and it is in our mutual interest to understand those outside our Cornell bubble

Aweek has passed since my initial feelings of anger, pain and shock over the election There are people who have already so eloquently summed up their thoughts on the results and shared in my grief But I can ’ t forget that morning, feeling the heaviness in my heart, and thinking, I’ve never been so disappointed to call myself an American right now As I walked to class, there was a melancholy that permeated the campus Students’ heads were bowed The air was quiet We were all feeling so much, trying to make sense of the turn of events

The sadness and disappointment was almost tangible I returned home from classes and cried

I know that there are people who criticize these “liberal reactions” to the election

There are people who say we are handling the election results poorly There are people on campus who have already criticized the cry-in and walkout and are tired of our whining

The truth is, I don’t care I don’t care if people say Trump won ’ t be “that bad ” I don’t care if people say we are creating an even bigger divide by ostracizing Trump supporters and voters I don’t care about each and every excuse people are coming up with to make us feel bad for fearing what the country will be like for the following years to come

And it’s because my sadness for the people Trump has continually attacked and oppressed is overwhelming As a woman, he has enraged me more times than I can count As a human being, he has driven me to the brink of madness But the only reason I’m not escaping this country in order to bathe in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s glory is because there is too much at stake here I will not leave the people who will now be increasingly attacked for who they love, where they come from, what color their skin is or who they worship

Hate crimes immediately escalated the day Trump was elected the next president of the United States Messages about lynchings were sent to black students at the University of Pennsylvania A dugout wall in Wellsville was painted with a swastika and the words “Make America White Again ” A man in Ann Arbor, Michigan approached a Muslim student and told her he would set her on fire with his lighter if she didn’t remove her hijab The message, “Black lives don’t matter and neither does your votes ” was painted onto a wall in Durham, North Carolina A high school student in Redding, California handed out “deportation letters” to half a dozen students The outcome of this election has had immediate impacts ones that have brought our country back decades There are no justifications, excuses or explanations for these hate crimes We have,

And So We Love

indeed, brought America back

But this is not our America This is a place known for its freedom, tolerance and diversity More than 300 incidents of intimidation and harassment have been reported now These are just the hate crimes that have been brought to the public’s attention there are many more that have occurred and will continue to because of Trump’s presidency The fact that such a despicable man will take a position held by men like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D Roosevelt, John F Kennedy and Barack Obama pains me

I am, at the moment, not able to fully understand people’s motives behind voting for Donald Trump I know acquaintances and family members who made that decision, and I am trying not to hold onto so much hate when I think of that

That’s where I’m hoping to end up With everything that has happened since the very beginning of both candidate’s campaigns I’m holding onto the strand of hope that love trumps hate I remember watching the Democratic National Convention and being struck by how unified it was The speakers talked about hope, of coming together, of moving forward The Republican National Convention radiated fear and division The contrast was so great that I knew the only hopeful vision for America was one of unity

Fear is not something we can allow to infiltrate our lives We need to love and support one another Never has a man who publicly expressed such intolerance, hate, fear, racism and sexism become president Yet again, never has there been a time when an outpouring of such immense grief was expressed after the results of an election This collective grief has strengthened the people who want to move forward progressively We feel each other’s pain and know that the country is in danger if we don’t stand up for what is just The hate crimes that have occurred throughout this country because of Trump’s victory are disturbing and horrifyingly real America is better than that We can not continue to move backwards, allowing humans to be ashamed for what they wear on their heads or where their parents came from

A professor in one of my English classes said, “Never forget how you felt that first day ” I don’t think I’m the only person in this country who finds it impossible to forget, no matter how blissful ignorance would be Because together we must love We won ’ t promote fear or hatred or violence We love

Refection, Recovery and Responsibility

t ’ s been a difficult week Many of us, including myself, were left distraught by the election of Donald Trump as our next president It was disturbing to see that his candidacy was not impeded by his flagrant violation of democratic norms, tolerance and simple human decency Most notably, his admission to sexual assault and his bigoted attacks on Muslims, Latinos, immigrants were apparently no obstacle to achieving the most powerful office in the world

In response, the mood on our campus, and across the country, has been dour I entirely reject those who have caricatured students as “coddled” or incapable of handling the real world This result was a big deal, and it came as a shock to many For many, it’s personal With the coming Trump administration, undocumented immigrants feel their entire lives at risk of upheaval The Muslim community faces the prospect of a president who has previously called for a ban on Muslim entry, and a domestic registry Muslims LGBTQ individuals see a Vice President who has endorsed incredibly harmful conversion therapy These are just a few examples

Hence, it’s perfectly understandable that so many of us are upset We’ve all needed a moment to reflect on an outcome that shook our understanding of the nation we live in The painful lesson that we ’ ve learned is that we can never be complacent Progress is never given, and we must continually work for it

And a lot of us did I want to take a brief moment to commend the students who dedicated themselves to fighting for victory in

Iour democracy While we came up short this time, I will never forget the dedicated individuals who registered voters, made phone calls, traveled to Pennsylvania for Hillary, drove classmates to the polls here in Ithaca, and spread awareness of just how important voting was This is what makes a difference It’s the type of participation that we are obligated to promote in our communities and all of our own lives

For the past few days, we have seen another huge outpouring of energy Thousands have turned out on campus to protest Trump’s victory, joined by countless more in other universities and cities across the United States I have heard some slight frustration that all of these protesters had not participated more in the electoral process But this is not the time for recriminations We must present a united front, and protests are a necessary part of that They push back on a narrative that this country actually wanted President Trump, and serve to speak out against hate It is important, however, not to waste this energy We are at the point where it is essential to channel our emotions into the broader work of activism and organization

This isn’t always as sexy or glamorous as a protest It involves dedication even when no one else is listening, and demands long days and long nights to make a difference Further, there are many ways to effect social change While I may be biased, I think one crucial avenue is through the realm of electoral politics After all, Trump is the next president because he triumphed in our electoral system Trying to reclaim our government does not

mean waiting until 2020 The work of defeating Trump, and his allied forces, through electoral change begins immediately

Take notice, for example, that one of the underreported stories of November 8 is that pro-criminal justice reform candidates won District Attorney races in many major cities Local elections will begin next year, here in Ithaca and across the country, and these warrant our attention Even more important, however, is 2018 This midterm election will feature every member of the House of Representatives, a third of the U S Senate, a majority of governorships, and most state legislators up for reelection It will set the stage for congressional redistricting from 2020, and allow us to provide a major break on President Trump’s agenda I hope that every person who is sad, upset and angry today will let those emotions guide their actions as our next midterm election approaches

The federal government might not be on the side of progress for the next few years But change can, and must, begin on a grassroots and local level This is true even beyond the realm of democratic engagement We need to start building up a broad progressive coalition for change; one that recognizes the multifaceted ways to fight for justice With regard to climate change, for example, we can continue to push our University to be on the forefront of a transition to a carbon-neutral world If reproductive rights come under attack, we can support the organizations that help women continue to access the care they need When racial minorities come under attack by discriminatory policies and an newly assertive

Trump’s Cabinet

, like most people, got 2016 very, very wrong I thought last Tuesday would be a continuation of the status quo ––a third term for President Obama Instead, I, along with the rest of America, was sorely mistaken

We have now elected a reality television star as our president And, not surprisingly, this reality television star has transformed the presidential transition process into a rerun of The Apprentice As many have pointed out, the Trump team did not expect to win last Tuesday night They too believed that they were heading for a loss –– and as a result, the campaign put little thought into a presidential transition

Now the race for cabinet posts has turned into an all-out knife fight, as contenders for various posts fight it out in the anarchy that is Trump’s universe And, quite frankly, the vast majority of potential cabinet nominees are either unqualified for the positions they are being considered for, are too radical to be leading federal bureaucratic departments, or both

Let’s start with the nominees for Secretary of State Currently, the front-runner is former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani: a man with absolutely zero qualifications in the field of diplomacy Mayor Giuliani has no ties to the State Department, has never served in an official diplomatic role, is not currently a member of a foreign policy think-tank, has never served on a foreign relations Congressional committee and has no formal education in foreign affairs In other words, the former mayor would be one of the most unqualified individuals in American history to lead the State Department if nominated to the post

Yet, this is not the only troubling part of the mayor ’ s resume Recent reporting has uncovered that Giuliani received speakers’ fees from groups in Venezuela, Qatar and Iran Just let that sink in for a second Now, what if it had been uncovered during the campaign that Hillary Clinton had given a speech to an Iranian group? Could you imagine the outrage from the Trump world?

But Giuliani is not the only candidate in the running for

Secretary of State, as President-elect Trump is also considering former U N Ambassador John Bolton Unlike Giuliani, Ambassador Bolton is actually qualified for the position, as he has served in numerous State Department roles and has a vast amount of foreign policy expertise However, Mr Bolton’s foreign policy views are among the most radical in the field A firm interventionist, the ambassador believes that the U S should immediately launch a preemptive military strike on Iran –– an action that would plunge the entire Middle East into war Bolton’s interventionist views are not only dangerous for global security, but also counter the more non-interventionist foreign policy platform of the President-elect

Perhaps the only qualified, rational individual that Trump is currently considering for Secretary State is Senator Bob Corker (R – Tenn ), the chair of the Senate Foreign Affairs

Quite frankly, the vast majority of potential cabinet nominees are ei unqualified for the positions they being considered for, are too radica to be leading federal bureaucratic departments, or both

Committee Senator Corker not only has the experience to lead the State Department, but is also well-respected by the foreign policy community and foreign leaders

Beyond the State Department, Trump’s selection of Breitbart chief Steven Bannon as Counselor to the President is also highly troubling Mr Bannon is a figure of the alt-right, and has routinely made racist and Islamophobic statements Mr Bannon’s extremist views represent not only the worst of the conservative movement, but the worst of America

The President-elect is also considering New Jersey

spree of hate crimes, we are obliged to defend them, listen and amplify their voices

I will not lie to you and pretend the next four years will be easy A few observers have expressed hope that a Trump presidency might not reach our worst fears I want to believe this If President Trump is genuinely committed to his purported goals of reducing corruption and protecting the middle class, Democrats will stand with him Yet, consider me skeptical Those who have urged us to give Trump a shot may find that he has already thrown away his shot With his elevation of Steve Bannon to chief strategist, Trump is about to bring white nationalism into the corridors of power in Washington Moreover, at a moment when he should still be basking in victory, Trump has continued to bizarre launch attacks on the free press

Ultimately, we have no real reason to believe that Trump’s presidency will be substantially different from his alarming candidacy

So yes, it will be hard We are about to have a president who threatens to enable the darkest segments of our society Remember this, however Trump lost the popular vote by over one million votes Only 29 percent of Americans believe he has a “mandate” to implement his agenda We still have this upper-hand, and we are obligated to make the best of it We must never allow Trump’s dangerous initiatives to be normalized Welcome to the loyal opposition

Governor Chris Christie for a cabinet post Though it is unclear what role the governor will serve in the new administration, most suspect that Christie’s allegiance to Trump throughout the campaign will be rewarded somehow This is also incredibly dangerous The President-elect has pledged to “drain the swamps ” of corruption in Washington –– yet at the same time, he is considering one of the most corrupt politicians in the nation for a cabinet post Recent revelations have provided clear evidence that the governor was well aware of the George Washington bridge closure in 2013 This closure is the definition of corruption, and Governor Christie should play no role in either the Trump Administration or national politics in general

Finally, Mr Trump is also considering former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich for a cabinet post as well First, and foremost, Mr Gingrich has not served in a political capacity for nearly two decades The former Speaker has little understanding of how the modern bureaucracy functions, and has been routinely criticized by former House colleagues for his lack of leadership skills Furthermore, Speaker Gingrich’s confusing and often irrational behavior (please refer to his 2012 presidential run in which he called for the establishment of a human colony on the moon) makes him a very dangerous choice for a cabinet appointment

Overall, the conservative movement is not without qualified candidates for the many cabinet positions that must be filled Furthermore, Trump’s selection of RNC Chair Reince Priebus as White House Chief of Staff shows that the President-elect is willing to name rational thinking individuals to senior administration positions It is with this knowledge that I hope that the President-elect is willing to avoid making careless appointments

’ ve made it a habit of putting falsely serious titles on columns that are pretty much six paragraph jokes My hope is always that some sentimental person out there clicks on the column hoping to shed an afternoon tear, but really just walks away semiamused or at least somewhat confused I’m excited to someday write the titles to articles your mom shares on Facebook You won ’ t believe what I’ll come up with But to be honest, I’m tired of all of this Jokes can be funny, but this isn’t The Onion Lots of people are reeling right now, but unfortunately you ’ ve come to the wrong place if you ’ re looking for a laugh This column is on mistakes and the powerful repercussions they carry I’m a man of relatively simple pleasures I like to eat Greek yogurt in the mornings and take a walk around the Arts Quad before my 2:30 class everyday My life, in all honesty, can be pretty easy most of the time As much as I like to complain about all the work I have to do and all the pressure I feel like I’m under, I’m still somehow at one of the best schools in the country studying a subject I genuinely care about What’s there to complain about?

A few days back, I went to my fraternity house to eat dinner It was just a regular day in my life Nothing had really changed I wasn ’ t really feeling whatever food the chef had made, so I decided to just eat Rice Krispies There’s nothing quite like a snap, crackle and pop to wake you up from your skewed sense of reality

I poured my cereal from the industrial sized bag of Rice Krispies and made my way to the milk dispenser to finish the job I pushed down on the handle, but no milk came out No big deal, just have to change the bag I went to the fridge to find another bag of milk, because real heroes don’t wear capes To my dismay, there was no milk left We had run out of milk This never happens This wasn ’ t supposed to happen What do I do now? What happens to my cereal?

I looked at my full bowl of moistureless Rice Krispies and realized I had no choice I had to find a milk alternative I searched the fridge and found the first thing that seemed to even remotely resemble a solution: a bottle of half and half As more of a skim milk kind of guy, I had never really used half and half, but I fig-

ured if you could them both in coffee, you could probably put either of them in cereal too I poured a splash of the half and half into my cereal bowl and walked away thinking I had made a difference and rebuffed establishment breakfast culture Oh how I was wrong

For those of you who don’t know, half and half is an equal parts blend of whole milk and cream Essentially, half and half is likely what actors guzzle down when they’re trying to quickly put weight on for a movie role One normal serving, which would be a few drops in a cup of coffee, gives you 87 percent of your dailyrecommended serving of saturated fat Keep in mind I poured myself a bowl full

I know what you ’ re thinking, that was probably the worst story ever told What I hope was clear through the above paragraphs is that this past week was tough for a lot of us, but a fair amount of us were able to move on That being said, a significant number of us have not and will not ever recover from this past week Some of your friends’, classmates’, and relative strangers ’ lives will be permanently and irreversibly changed by last week’s outcome I am not one of those people As I have repeatedly said, my life is simple and has very few drastic problems Many students on this campus live a life of similar privilege While last week’s outcome can be summarized as a temporary bad taste in some peoples’ mouths, many others are still reeling, and will continue to for far longer than you may realize If you are lucky enough to not be one of those people, I urge you be empathetic towards your peers and not tell them to just move on Moving on from a nationwide mistake as significant as this has no due date O n M o v i n g O n

The first spoon was definitely the worst It had the consistency of a runny clam chowder and the never-ending taste of pure fat It was like I had just been breastfed by Paula Deen After initially recoiling from the taste, I thought to myself, “This couldn’t possibly get any worse I’ll just finish the bowl and go back to my simple life ” I finished the bowl, but the taste didn’t get any better I went to campus to study after that and got a pretty insane stomachache It was one of the rougher times in my life That being said, the stomachache ended and my life went back to being doable and easy going

able to do that in the past, so I feel like we were able to make a lasting impression on the program ”

The women came out victorious, 3-2, in double overtime

The three graduating seniors midfielder Katy Week, midfielder Elizabeth Horak, and back Luisa Schulte-Bockum made a significant contribution to the program during their time with the Red

“Our seniors have put in so much time and effort into showing us what it is like and what is expected to be a member of Cornell field hockey,” McILWrick said “[The team] is so proud of [them] ”

The class of 2017 had a total of 42 wins throughout its four years, which ties the class of 2011 for the most winningest in program history

“I am so proud,” Weeks said, of this record

Looking forward, the Red hopes to maintain the momentum it has established at the end of its season and continue to grow as a program

“Coming off our final four games, we are left hungry for the next season, ” McILWrick said

Sarah Peters can be reached at speters@cornellsun com

“We were one of those teams just a week ago this time,” he said “They have some really talented forwards on the team They’ve been on the road and have had some really tough competition ”

With Quinnipiac and Princeton, scoring has often been incredibly important In five matchups against the Bobcats last year including the ECAC playoff series only one game saw less than seven total goals, a 2-2 tie in Hamden Though the second game against the Tigers last season ended in a 1-0 win for Cornell, the first game saw seven total goals None was bigger than now-injured senior alternate captain forward Jeff Kubiak's game-winner with less than a minute remaining

This year, McCrea and other defensemen have been chipping into the attack, working to fill the void left by the injured Kubiak, who led the Red in scoring with 27 points as the centerpiece of an attack flanked by Vanderlaan and fellow sophomore Anthony Angello

While Vanderlaan has continued to impress, earning honors as the ECAC player of the week following his performances against Brown and Yale, Schafer said he is enthusiastic about the variety of scorers on this year ’ s roster

“Last year we were far too dependent on Jeff, Mitch and [sophomore forward] Anthony [Angello] as far as five-on-five scoring,” Schafer said “We’ve already seen a lot of five-on-five scoring from all our guys this year ” Regardless of the results, the team is excited to finally get back to a packed rink in front of the Lynah Faithful

“This year it has kind of been a grind with the three weekends on the road,” McCrea said “We are going to bring the momentum back home ” Sidd Srinivasan can be reached at ssrinivasan@cornellsun com M HOCKEY

Red Welcomes Quinnipiac, Princeton in Home Openers

By SIDD SRINIVASAN

Sun Staff Writer

As far as adages in the sporting world go, there is one that holds true to a team ’ s league success: “Split on the road, and win all your games at home, and you'll have a great year ” This is the sentiment Cornell men ’ s hockey head coach Mike Schafer '86 relayed ahead of the team ’ s first home matchups of the season against Quinnipiac and Princeton on Friday and Saturday, respectively

"[I hope] we can win every game at home and I think we can split every game on the road," he said "If that follows through for the rest of the year I think we'll be in great shape "

The Red (2-2-1, 2-1-1 ECAC) has done well in splitting on the road, as evident in a 500 record As the last Division I team to play a home game in all of college hockey, Schafer hopes a victor y against defending league champion Quinnipiac (7-3-1, 3-1) can help to establish Lynah Rink as a fortress with a statement victor y In Quinnipiac, the Red faces a familiar foe, with the team from Connecticut emerging victorious in the ECAC quarterfinals last year to end the Red’s 2015-16 season A victory would see the Red leapfrog a consistently strong ECAC team, who currently sits one point ahead of Cornell in the league standings with six points in four league games

Despite the fact that last season ’ s defeat remains in the minds of the team ’ s returning players, sophomore winger and forward Mitch Vanderlaan indicated that the team will approach this game just like any other

“Last year is last year, ” Vanderlaan said “It’s a clean slate and we will play them as hard as we play anyone else ”

Schafer noted that strong performances against Harvard and Brown were followed by a less dominant performance at Yale, where the team was able to win by making the most of its fewer scoring opportunities Against Brown, the team held back an early onslaught from the Bears, and was able

to grow into the contest and secure the two points Schafer is looking for the players to regain the same chip on the shoulder the inner willpower and desire to improve at each practice ahead of Friday’s match

“In business or sports, those wake up the next day not satisfied with what happened the day before; they tend to be the more successful people and they are constantly always pushing forward,” Schafer said “That’s what our guys are trying to learn right now

”

While the Red will no longer have to nullify the attacking threat of Sam Anas, who swapped collegiate hockey for a professional contract within the Minnesota Wild organization, Schafer noted that much of the game plan remains the same from last year

“Their strength is their numbers [and] they travel in packs on the ice,” Schafer said “They compete very hard and they block shots very well ”

Sophomore defenseman Alec McCrea indicated that matching Quinnipiac's speed and intensity will be essential if the Red is to emerge victorious

“We know they will come with a lot of speed and intensity like they always do and we have to match that and exceed it,” McCrea said “We are going to bring them the game, play with more speed than them and shut them down ”

Princeton, on the other hand, presents a different challenge for the men in red Whereas Quinnipiac has been a flourishing powerhouse, the Tigers have struggled to keep their head above water in the league standings

A winless team would seem to be a welcome sign to any challenger, but Schafer is not so quick to undermine Princeton's 0-3-1 ECAC record

In their showing against regional rival UConn, the women of the Cornell polo struggled to break their losing streak The Red had its match against the Huskies on Saturday with a home field advantage, but came away with a 17-10 loss

“I honestly can say we just didn't have a good day,” said senior Emma Eldredge “That happens We all get days where things just aren ' t working out how we want them to, just as some days we will play incredibly well ” The team ’ s previous matchup against UConn was down to the wire, with the Huskies pulling ahead by one goal The fact that the two teams had played such a close game in their last showing added another level of pressure on the developing team

“I think there was a lot riding on this match because we all put a lot of pressure on ourselves to win, since we lost by only one goal last time,” said junior Hannah Noyes “I think coming out with that kind of anxiety and pressure to perform well and then still being a new team was the biggest issue that we had ”

Unlike in its last game against UConn, the Red was never able to break its opponent ’ s lead The first chukker ended with UConn up by five goals, and, although Cornell managed to close in and shrink the lead to only two goals during the second
