President of Iceland Stresses Importance of Sustainability

By REBECCA BLAIR Sun Staff Writer

The President of Iceland, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, told Cornellians about Icelandic sustainability practices and the effects of global climate change on Friday as part of the Einaudi Center’s Foreign Policy

D i s t i n g u i s h e d Speaker Series

Grímsson

Iceland’s fifth president said the country is constantly working to combat global warming Grímsson spoke against climate change deniers, saying that evidence of increasing temperatures and melting glaciers is beyond dispute

“Despite the international dialogue and

discussion, [Icelanders] don’t need to be convinced that something extraordinar y is happening to our planet,” Grímsson said “If you doubt it, then look at

“It makes economic sense to save the planet.”

Greenland, which has an ice sheet half the size of Western Europe And it’s melting faster ” Grímsson also discussed how environmental issues need to be addressed beyond international conferences

While he did not dismiss all international environmental summits, he did say that they often miss the root

cause of the issue

“Even eternal optimists like myself do not have great hope that through such international negotiations we will be able to solve the problem in time,” he said

G r í m s s o n instead encouraged individual countries to take advantage of clean energy resources

Though he said he supported the use of solar and wind power, his speech focused on the use of geothermal energy power derived from the heat found beneath the earth’s crust

“[One tenth of a] percent of the stored heat inside our planet would satisfy the global energy consumption for 10,000 years, ” he said

He added that much of the world lacks the resources to store food, and Iceland has started using geothermal energy which can be utilized utilized without carbon emissions or climate change to dry

food before it is exported Grímsson said Iceland is able to dry food relatively quickly, adding that it can then be stored in any condition for up to two years

“I maintain it will be

the single most important contribution to food security in the world if we did this on a global scale,” he said

“About 20 percent of the food produced in the world gets destroyed in a week or

10 days, not because we waste it, but because there is no method of storing it ” Grímsson added that he believes Iceland is an international

Pope Francis Canonizes Six New Saints

VATICAN CIT Y (AP)

Pope Francis canonized six new saints Sunday, including a priest and a nun from the Indian state of Kerala, in a packed ceremony in St Peter’s Square

The pope said the new saints, four Italians from far-flung provinces and two Indians from the Syro-Malabar Church, one of 22 Eastern rite churches that operates

in full communion with Rome, provided examples of service to “the smallest and the poorest ” “They dedicated themselves, without holding back, to serving the least and assisting the destitute, sick, elderly and pilgrims,” Francis told the crowd

Some 5,000 faithful traveled from Kerala state for the solemn event, which was also streamed

live onto screens set up outside churches in the southern region of India

“Today is a big day for Indian people, especially for Indian people coming from Kerala,” said Elsy Chandy Plammoottil, a pilgrim from Kerala “We got two saints: Eufrasia Eluvathingal and Kuriakose Elias Chavara They are very important people for us ”

LGBT Cornellians Discuss Experiences With Greek System

experienced harassment from members of the Greek community

“At one fraternity event, after discovering that I was gay, a group of fraternity brothers kicked me out of the event, calling me a ‘faggot’ and a ‘fucking queer, ’” Titcomb said

As a chair of the LGBTQ+ Greek Ally Ambassador Program, Titcomb said the organizations are tr ying to raise awareness for issues that LGBT people face within Greek life, as well as “educate our non-queer peers ”

He added that he believes the LGBTQ+ Greek Ally Ambassador Program needs more str ucture

“As [the Ambassador program] stands, it is ver y

a m b i g u o u s It n e e d s t o a d o p t a m o re e d u c a t i o n a l approach to LGBTQ+ issues and tackle issues relating to prejudice and discrimination, including microaggressions,” Titcomb said

However, Titcomb said he believes the Greek system still needs to make an e f f o r

inclusive environment

“ We still have a long way to go for LGBTQ+ people to be authentically

President Brandon Yeh, MGLC is “ open and welcoming” to LGBT students

“Our community has always fostered and emphasized diversity and inclusion Many of our fraternities and sororities were initially founded to help suppor t and advocate for underrepresented student populations,” Yeh said

Yeh said MGLC has worked to promote LGBT inclusion by “actively collaborating” with Haven, the LGBTQ Student Union to increase educational programming

Shifting the Language

Erika Whitestone ’15, president of the Panhellenic Council, said the council recently met with Haven to work on ways to make recr uitment “ a more inclusive and positive experience ” “ We are planning to have educational materials and training from Haven about gender and sexuality for all of our recr uitment chairs and Rho Gammas,” Whitestone said

“During rush, it doesn’t matter whether you’re gay, straight, bisexual it’s more important how you get along with the people in the house that you’re interested in.”

R e e d N e w m a n ’ 1 6

a n d g e n u i n e l y a c c e p t e d one hundred percent, ” Titcomb said

Titcomb said he would still encourage LGBT students to r ush, especially because these same students “have the power to change Greek life for the better ”

“ The more queer people someone knows personally, the more likely that person is to willingly and wholehear tedly accept and comprehend LGBTQ+ issues and actively fight against all institutions of queerphobia,” said Titcomb

Finding a Home in Greek Life

Assistant Dean of Students Kara Miller said she thinks that any member of the LGBT community should be able to find a home in a fraternity or sorority

“ The student leaders are conscious of making their organizations places where all students feel welcome They recognize this as a priority and are engaged in dialogue to foster inclusion,” Miller said

A c c o r d i n g t o M i l l e r, t h e L G B TQ + Gr e e k A l l y

Ambassador program is a widespread initiative in the fraternity and sorority community across all three councils

“[LGBTQ Ambassadors] is a program in which each fraternity or sorority identifies a member who will ser ve as an ally and par ticipate in programs and initiatives to increase awareness and conversation about LGBTQ issues in fraternity and sorority life,” Miller said According to Multicultural Greek Letter Council

A c c o r d i n g t o W h i t estone, Panhel is also “shifti n g t h e l a n g u a g e ” u s e d during recr uitment to be “less heteronormative ”

In the past, members of t h e Pa n h e l c o m m u n i t y were told to avoid the discussion of the “3 B’s” booze, boys and bids with potential ne w members, according to Panhel

An ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ Experience

On Nov 16, IFC and Haven co-sponsored a panel in Ro b e r t Pu rc e l l C o m m u n i t y C e n t e r t o c ove r i s s u e s including the recr uitment process, ne w member education, fraternity living and daily life as a member of the Greek community “geared from an LGBT perspective,” according to Winebrake

Reed Ne wman ’16, one of the six panelists from six different fraternities, said that the goal of the panel was to educate people on the Greek System from an LGBTQ perspective

“One of my main goals of this panel is to make this a ver y honest por trayal of what it’s like to be in the Greek System,” said Ne wman, a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity “For me, and a majority of other people, it’s been over whelmingly positive ”

Panelists discussed the process of “coming out ” to members of their Greek chapter and the ne w member education process, according to Ne wman He said other topics included choosing a house, living in the fraternity and navigating date events and mixers

Ne wman said he believes that Greek Life at Cornell currently offers a safe and welcoming environment for LGBT students

“Historically, and not just at Cornell, Greek life probably wasn ’ t as welcoming as it is now, so there’s that kind of stigma with Greek life; however, times have definitely changed,” Ne wman said “I really do feel [Cornell Greek life] is an extremely welcoming place, and if you want to join a house, there’s definitely a house that wants to have you ”

According to Ne wman, there is a “misconception” that only cer tain fraternities are accepting, but that it doesn’t matter what a students’ orientation if they find a group of students that they can connect with “During r ush, it doesn’t matter whether you ’ re gay, straight, bisexual or wherever you are it’s more important how you get along with the people in the house that you ’ re interested in At the end of the day, that’s all that matters, ” Ne wman said “As long as you ’ re confident about who you are and what you stand for, people really respect that ”

Mo Cliffstone ’15, an LGBT student and member of the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity, said he hopes the IFC will increase programming with LGBT groups on campus

“ While the [panel was] a pivotal event for introducing LGBTQ-identified individuals to the Greek system, I believe we need more programming to fur ther bridge the gap, ” he said “ That is the only way that the two communities will get over recognizing each other through their stereotypes and will see each other as people instead ”

Cliffstone added he believes many stereotypes against the Greek system currently exist within Cornell’s LGBT community

“People are still holding on to such outdated stereotypes, ” he said “It is quite upsetting to see to be honest ”

An Alternative Solution

Nathan Gelb-Dyller ’16 said he believes it is more impor tant to address how LGBT Cornellians outside the Greek system are affected by the system He said he thinks some LGBT students in Greek houses may feel comfor table because they “mold” themselves to fit norms for gendered behavior or that the environments “render their queerness invisible ”

According to Gelb-Dyller, the Greek system would have to substantially alter its social norms in order to fully eliminate what he refers to as its “hostility” to LGBT Cornellians

“ This would entail ending heteronormative fraternity [and] sorority mixers, gender ratios at par ties and any presumption that a given person is ‘straight,’” he said “I think that it is impossible to fix the Greek system and the only way to end the Greek system ’ s hostility to queerness is to end the Greek system ”

Letter to the Editor

The right to a safe campus and secure Israel

To the Editor:

Re: “Students for Justice in Palestine Rally Draws Counterprotest,” News, Nov 20

Over the past month, Jerusalem has not been safe On Oct 22, Abdel Rahman AlShaludi, a Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem, rammed into a crowd of Israelis with his car, killing a three month old baby and injuring seven civilians Fourteen days later, on Nov 5, a commercial van manned by Ibrahim al-Akri killed yet another Israeli and injured 13 Just last Tuesday, Nov 18, two Palestinian terrorists from East Jerusalem invaded a synagogue in West Jerusalem Using guns, a cleaver and an axe, two Palestinian terrorists murdered four praying Jewish men and shot to death Zidan Saif, a Druse police officer responding to the scene

Finally, in the wake of the numerous terrorist attacks, the Israeli government decided to boost security efforts by setting up temporary checkpoints in East Jerusalem While we sympathize with those who are inconvenienced by these checkpoints, there is no doubt that they are crucial to the security of those living in Israel “We have nothing against the residents of East Jerusalem,” Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, “but we will not tolerate attacks on our citizens and we will work against the people who carry out these things and against the inciters ” All Israeli civilians live under the perpetual fear of the next terrorist attack Establishing temporary checkpoints is Israel’s best and only way to ensure the protection and security of all of its citizens To rally against checkpoints is to rally against civilian safety To rally against checkpoints without recognizing their need to combat terrorism is to advocate for terrorism

The day immediately following the synagogue massacre, Students for Justice in Palestine held a sympathy demonstration for Palestinians who have to be checked at these security checkpoints Instead of condemning the killings of innocent civilians, they brought in an activist from outside the Cornell community to increase tensions and called for the boycott, divestment and sanctioning of Israel, specifically the severance of Cornell’s ties with the Technion, an Israeli university SJP’s signs, banners, chants and curses mislead and inflame the opinion of the Cornell community with false and out-ofcontext information

In response to this twisted, one-sided presentation of Israel and Israeli policy, a small group of pro-Israel students responded peacefully bearing signs that stated, “Israel is invested in peace ” SJP members and non-Cornell affiliated adult protesters then subjected some of these students to excessive harassment The peaceful signs pro-Israel students held up were ripped out of their hands, torn and smeared with ketchup by protesters Protesters affiliated with SJP stood within inches of students’ faces, yelling curses and obscenities, such as “Zionist scum ”

But one of the most threatening and terrifying quotes chanted repeatedly by the SJP protesters was, “We will respond to aggression with aggression ” Wednesday’s rally was not an isolated incident Three weeks ago, SJP members followed students around Central Campus until the police thankfully stepped in to ensure these students’ safety At the protest on Wednesday, police were on Ho Plaza to prevent the threats of violence and the harassment from escalating into physical attacks SJP brings the Palestinian aggression against Israel to campus repeatedly and we, as Cornellians, won ’ t stand for it

Every nation and people has a right to safety and security We too have a right to feel safe and secure from harassment and intimidation SJP’s actions have continuously threatened this right with their protests against pro-Israel students on campus and Israeli security

AThe Role of Shared Governance in Changing Times

s most Cornell Daily Sun readers know, our university is experiencing several significant transitions in leadership over the next several months In such times of transition which are full of excitement and promise, but can also be unsettling Cornell’s shared governance groups take on even greater importance They represent the concerns of their constituents in a process of consultation and deliberation that goes beyond the term of any university administration, working collectively to identify, communicate and resolve issues

Our current shared governance groups grew out of student unrest in the late 1960s and 1970s, which led to the creation of a 132member University Senate After two studies of campus governance and a community-wide referendum on alternatives to the University Senate, the Board of Trustees in 1981 approved the charters of the Employee Assembly, Faculty Senate, Student Assembly and University Assembly; the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly received trustee approval in 1993 In addition, two students, two faculty members and one employee, elected by their constituents, serve as full voting members of the Board of Trustees

Shared governance provides process to elect representation, to voice dissent and approval ... and to foster change

Today, shared governance remains an important way for members of our university community to participate in decision-making processes with senior administrators and with the Board of Trustees as well as the Weill Cornell Medical College Board of Overseers During my time at Cornell, I have attended 83 meetings of the shared governance groups supported by the Office of Assemblies and reviewed or responded to 743 of their resolutions

Here are just a few of the many issues of importance to our campus communities on which the assemblies have deliberated and had significant input during my time at Cornell: Stu dent Assem bly: Early in my Cornell career, the Student Assembly was an important voice in the debate around whether the University should divest its limited holdings in oil companies doing business in Sudan as a response to the genocide in Darfur, and, upon my recommendation, the Board of Trustees authorized such selective divestment The S A has since lent its voice to the more recent debate on divestment from companies involved in fossil fuels The S A also has provided strong support for addressing mental health challenges and diversity issues on campus, and their endorsement lent critical support to our proposal to establish Cornell Tech

Th e Gra dua te and Prof essi ona l St ud ent Assembl y has highlighted such issues as graduate student debt, open access to research journals, health care and workers compensation coverage for graduate students, financial and programmatic support for undocumented students and the right to free speech and assembly It also has advocated for a variety of initiatives to strengthen the graduate and professional student community, including the Graduate and Professional Community Initiative Students at Cornell Tech recently formed their governance organization, which includes a representative for the GPSA, and we have worked out a way for the representative to participate in bi-monthly GPSA meetings through Google Hangout Emp loyee As sembly: The E A played a critical role in the 2011 employee survey and in formulating recommendations for addressing concerns expressed in the survey The E A has been an enthusiastic sponsor or supporter of employee recognition programs, Staff Development Day, the CARE Fund (which assists members of the community who experience an unexpected financial emergency)

and the Cornell president’s annual address to staff Uni vers ity Assembly: The U A has provided perspective on various divestment proposals, civility and free speech, TCAT funding, Title IX, and it helped craft the current version of the Campus Code of Conduct Facu lty Senat e: The Faculty Senate has jurisdiction over educational policy that affects more than one school or college or is of a general nature Through the Faculty Senate, the faculty played a critical role in the adoption of the new academic calendar In the last 18 months, joint efforts by the Faculty Senate and the administration have developed policies to govern the development of distancelearning courses, such as MOOCs, and then to select the courses and programs that will receive University support Last spring, with the encouragement of the deans of most colleges, the Faculty Senate approved the nontenured title, “Professor of the Practice,” to bring individuals onto campus who can teach undergraduates based on their distinguished real-world experiences, whether as engineers, entrepreneurs or artists A Senate report has been instrumental in the University Assembly’s reconsideration of parts of the Campus Code of Conduct, and the Senate’s resolution last winter calling for the University to divest from fossil fuel companies and accelerate its schedule for achieving carbon neutrality has led to an ambitious proposal by a facultyadministrative working group, which we are currently reviewing I realize that some in our community question the legitimacy of shared governance on the Ithaca campus, as was the case in relation to the Student Assembly last semester It is worth remembering, though, that the constituencies served by each shared governance group have the opportunity to select those who will represent them These constituencies have the power to influence the composition of these bodies by familiarizing themselves with those running for office and then exercising their right to vote

In a recent Cornell Daily Sun editorial, there was a call for me “ to reach beyond the structure of the shared governance bodies and engage with the student body itself to generate potential new priorities to focus on and to communicate the administration’s agenda ” I agree: Everyone’s opinion is important in our community For that reason, I have continued a tradition started by Vice President Susan Murphy ’73 Ph D ’94 of meeting regularly with elected student leaders in and beyond the Student Assembly and the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly, including representatives of M D and Ph D students at Weill Cornell Medical College In addition, I hold regular, publicly advertised office hours open to the first 10 students who sign up and share my private email address with students Representatives from the faculty, staff and student body also are serving on the search committees to find successors for Provost Fuchs and Vice President Murphy

Shared governance provides processes to elect representation, to voice dissent and approval; to hear and be heard; and to foster change as times and circumstances require I invite all members of our campus communities to use this time of change as an opportunity to clarify and confirm the “shared” parts of shared governance, to consider running for election to one of these groups, and when you receive a ballot next semester to cast your vote

Pressure, Unplugged

Pressure, Uncut

“Shit!” The young woman fell out of bed, blitzed through her morning routine and headed outside As she walked, she knew something was different about today But what? After spending several minutes trying to identify the nuisance, she realized her precious headphones had been hastily left behind Then, suddenly, the noises assaulted her They flirted with familiarity like an annoying word on the tip of your tongue, before gradually becoming recognizable She heard the chatter of surrounding students, distant groans of traffic and chime of the Clock Tower She heard birds chirping, wind rustling the fallen leaves and her own breathing Every single noise, however, seemed almost alien “Maybe this is what the angel in Wings of Desire experienced after becoming human,” she thought Pausing, she reconsidered “Ok, maybe a little too dramatic ”

A music and film aficionado, the woman prided herself on possessing an esoteric collection of media knowledge Lately though, the quintessential confused college kid thought only of a career While writing about music and positive psychology would be ideal, she lacked the necessar y confidence and artistic prowess Or so she told herself Besides, hadn’t she already invested too much energy into her purpose? The plan: Earn a Ph D , become a Biology professor and inspire other black women to teach She owed it to her family and self to see that promise through, right? Meanwhile, her younger brother sought escape Before college, he had fought to avoid being branded as just “the smart Asian kid ” Here, he waged a new war for social recognition, and eagerly joined the packs of freshmen who went out in droves on Friday nights Some people flourished at parties, but not those who danced too awkwardly, spoke too softly and drank too little Unable to see the appeal, the boy soon stopped going What followed was a lengthy series of infatuations with girls, all handled dreadfully One day, the young man just gave up For six tranquil months, he felt completely free He had always been resistant to embarrassment,

but imagine the calm indifference of someone with nothing to lose! Of course, repression can ’ t last forever The time away had been like a fast: temporary numbness and a clear head, followed by much worse hunger for a relationship Convinced that everyone was either uninterested or uninteresting, he resolved to finally get drunk Sexual frustration and impaired thought resulted in a regretful loss of virginity, which delivered no emotional punch In his mind, the deed amounted to a betrayal of the man he’d spent years claiming to be Thoughts of alcohol and more sex consumed him The former offered an option for drowning away the sorrow, though the latter never again accompanied his endeavors

While the freshman learned about the harsh wilderness of collegiate romance, his older brother just tried to focus He had arrived at the LGBT community’s largest event of the year As incoming president of a young organization for gay men, he needed to make a strong impression The eldest sibling had no problem speaking confidently about love, success and

Reluctantly, she adopts a silent disinterest in the other passengers, taking out her headphones and plugging in.

already remarkable amiability No matter the group, he could win them over But at the end of the day, the man always looked forward to therapeutic solitude

Such was the case tonight Upon returning home from an exhausting event, the eldest sibling exclaimed, “I can ’ t keep doing this!” His boyfriend smiled reassuringly before responding, “Then stop trying to be everyone ” So he did

Immersing himself wholeheartedly into the organization, the eldest sibling quit all his other extracurricular activities He spent less and less time, either by necessity or convenience, with friends outside the community What the student hadn’t understood is how much those diverse interests and friend groups had come to define him As the old self disappeared, a new man replaced him A man with tunnel vision Someone who, in going down said tunnel, had turned from happiness

stereotypes Still, he functioned best when separated from those to whom he spoke by the barrier of a podium Unstructured gatherings like these conflicted with his nature

How could an introvert lead anyone? “Just be your beautiful self,” his boyfriend often remarked His parents had always encouraged him to “embrace your mixed heritage, embrace your sexuality and above all else, do what makes you happy ” If they only understood their son ’ s inner turmoil, as he struggled to reconcile reality and expectations So he had devised an image, to be used at all social settings He transformed into a master navigator, or, more fittingly, an adept pretender Over time, the navigation became innate, replacing actual identity with a constant façade He appeared comfortable anywhere, which bolstered an

For the third consecutive Friday evening, the youngest sibling left the party early At home, he finds his roommate watching an episode of Avatar: the Last Airbender, a show which once brought him i m m e a s u r a b l e joy “I’m not going out for a while,” he told his roommate That night, there was no “fast,” no stubborn backlash against an obsession with alcohol or sex Tonight, there was only Avatar Tomorrow, maybe, he would ask that nice girl out For better or worse, he would try

After class, the middle sibling runs home to retrieve her accessories Waiting at the elevator on her floor are two students, and she decides to greet them One student lets out a barely audible response and the other doesn’t even appear to have heard anything As the young woman steps onto the elevator, she wonders why she even bothered to try Reluctantly, she adopts a silent disinterest in the other passengers, taking out her headphones and plugging in

I love Nick Jonas I’ve loved him since he first premiered on Disney Channel all those years ago Nick was definitely my favorite out of the Jonas Brothers, but Kevin and Joe had my affection, too My devotion for the Jonas Brothers extended from Camp Rock to their own show, Jonas, all the way to the reality show Married to Jonas It should come as no surprise then, that when I heard Nick Jonas was creating a new album, I freaked out My tween side rejoiced at the idea of more Nick Jonas to jam out to, even if it was without his brothers beside him However, after listening to Nick Jonas, I love Nick because he makes great music and not because he was the highlight of my middle school days

The biggest struggle for Nick in this album was to overcome his Disney Channel image, a problem several performers currently face He needed to distance himself from his innocent, juvenile persona so people other than teenage girls would listen to his music It all started with his photo shoot with Flaunt magazine when sexualized photos turned Nick into an adult figure instead of a kid When I saw the shoot, I was concerned that Nick was going down the Miley Cyrus path The pictures seemed like a publicity stunt to be known for sex in a drastic attempt to erase his Disney past I was pleasantly surprised that there has so far not been a follow up to the shoot The pictures got his name back in the press just in time for his album to released and unlike Miley, Nick did not go so far to only be known as an over-sexualized per-

former The photo shoot was his statement to the world that he wants to be known as an adult and not simply as a member of the Jonas Brothers The best part about the photoshoot was that it did not overshadow his music “Jealous,” the first single off of Nick Jonas, was still able to be judged for its musical talent and was not outshined by Nick redefining his image

The final step in Nick’s quest of changing his image is the most important: the music The first song off of the album is Chains,” a sexy tune with some sick beats It sets the mature tone that is prevalent in following songs, such as “Numb ” The most popular song so far is “Jealous ” It is played consistently on radio stations and it is really good And I don’t mean good for a Jonas Brother; it is simply a good song The infectious beats combine with dance music and Nick’s crooning voice to create a song that I refuse to stop listening to The catchy, synthesized beats continue throughout the album with “Teacher” and “Take Over ” Nick blends easy to remember choruses with upbeat harmonies to form the perfect music to dance around and belt out to Nick Jonas is not all fun and games though “Push” places emphasis on Nick’s vocal abilities, highlighting his falsetto The lyrics are emotional and pure and provide a nice break from the upbeat music One of the final songs off the album is “Avalanche,” a song about a couple that is on the verge of breaking up The expressive lyrics and the emotions in Nick’s

Are tribute bands nothing more than a homage to the now-gone original, or do they play in creative independence from their inspiration? By the energy of the 700 or so fans crowding the State Theatre to see Dark Star Orchestra this past Monday, the answer didn’t much matter Hands twirled Heads bobbed And lips moved, as concert goers of all ages (but mostly old) lived and relived their love for the greatest touring band in existence

To those that believe the Grateful Dead concert experience survives only in a bygone era, you ’ re sorely mistaken While the psychedelics may have been left at home (or consumed last week for String Cheese Incident), the spiritual train of the Dead still rides on, fueled by the love of the very much alive community of Deadheads

My first-exposure to DSO was nearly three years ago, when they stopped in Ithaca to play their historic two-thousandth show Three years and 383 shows later, they returned with force, journeying through time and space to Wichita, Kansas, November 17, 1972

The hip-swaying “Sugaree” filled the air as I found my way to the front, assuring my doubtful ears that DSO had both heart and technique to work with Lead guitarist Jeff Mattson offered delightful solos and heartfelt vocals all evening, channeling Garcia’s tender touch masterfully The enjoyable but often undesired GD staple “Black Throated Wind” was transformed into a sing-along belter by rhythm guitarist Rob Eaton I was pleasantly surprised at Eaton’s finesse in recreating the younger Weir’s head cocking vocal crescendos Eaton led the band on cues and provided significant improvisational energy throughout the evening, held strong by consistent percussionist Rob Koritz

The first set soared to new heights when a Robert Hunter three-song string of “Bird Song,” “Jack Straw” and “Box of Rain” featured the ecstasy inducing trifecta of harmonies by Mattson, Eaton and Skip Vangelas, the Lesh-style bassist From left to right, Mattson serenaded Garcia’s “Bird Song,” Eaton roared Weir’s “Jack Straw” and Vangelas crooned Lesh’s “Box of Rain ”

I was pinching myself This was a theme throughout the night

Mattson’s milky voice on the treasured “Bird Song” treated everyone ’ s yearning ears Then, the timeless “Jack Straw” following the rare “Box of Rain” gave Vangelas a one-two punch opportunity to strut his stuff He filled Phil Lesh’s role nicely as the agile beat keeping, string-plucking powerhouse His thunderous work in a second set “The Other One” had the hair on my neck standing tall And notably, anyone who’s heard Lesh sing “Box of Rain,” knows he can be a marvelous trainwreck, but Vangelas was an enjoyable improvement from Lesh’s beloved, yet strained vocals

The western-style foot stomper Don’t Ease Me In” gave keyboardist Rob Barraco space to lead and exhibit his prowess behind the ivories To conclude the first set, a psychedelic “China Cat Sunflower” led into a dynamic “I Know You Rider” that had everyone in the place jumping to the beat, bad knees and all

The house lights rose, and with the harmonies of the stringed-trio’s last verse of “Casey Jones” still ringing in my ears, I was speechless With the lights up, the eclectic crowd was now clearly visible Veteran Dead Heads with 200-plus shows under their belt co-mingled with the wide-eyed younger followers who began listening to the legendary band long after they stopped touring

Since DSO reenacts full sets from the Dead’s over 30-year touring history, fans are given a fully-recreated night with the Dead Every night, DSO changes arrangements, guitar modulation and their playing style given the evolving sound of any-given era And they’re committed, traveling with their own sound and lighting equipment to recreate the energy of all the Dead’s unique periods No LED lights Woven rugs underneath their feet A mesmerizing 30-foot tie-dye backdrop A three and a half hour, two-set show sure doesn’t feel like just a tribute band Dark Star Orchestra are only the current drivers of a bus that hasn’t stopped since the Grateful Dead first hopped on in ’66 They’re the biggest Dead fans in the room, playing for each other and the audience

The air was electric when the lights came down for the second set to begin A toe-tapping “Cumberland Blues” started the set into a homey “El Paso” that, in keeping with Dead tra-

voice stunned me as I first listened to it “Avalanche” displays an emotional depth I previously would not have associated with him The same can be said for the last song, “Nothing Would Be Better ” The song slows down to connect with listeners while maintaining the synthesized beats to form a cohesive album Nick Jonas concludes in such a way that displays Nick’s ability to create love songs that do not inspire Camp Rock dance numbers

Throughout Nick Jonas, Nick distances himself from his Disney Channel persona by producing an album that combines sexy tracks, catchy beats and emotional lyrics that will make you keep the album on repeat

dition, had Rob Eaton flub a couple verses in a beautiful Bob Weir-esque fashion Demonstrating the collaborative, supportive vibes of a Dead show, the crowd lovingly cheered the band on because any mistake brings us closer to the heroes on stage, who aren ’ t gods, but humans just like us

The tone shifted when the stirring ballad “He’s Gone” brought the carnival inward for a lengthy jam that moved hearts and brought the dead to life Everyone’s deeply personal relationship to this music surfaced when Mattson delivered the somber lines in the first chorus: “Like a steam locomotive, rolling down the track/He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back ”

Since Jerry’s death, “He’s Gone” has held a special place in all Dead Heads’ hearts We’ve all lost family and friends on our long strange trip through life, and DSO and cover bands everywhere help us honor their gone, yet not lost, love of the Dead The internal exploration took a poetic hiatus when the celebratory “Truckin” brought us out of our contemplation, only to be continued when a trippy half-hour “The Other One” followed

For the first time all night, the crowd appreciated the obstructing chairs of the State, as we all sunk into our chairs and blasted off into a disorienting deep-blue excursion through the depths of space Reality was suspended for a time as the spaceship of my mind floated, only guided by an innumerable number of penetrating rays of light guiding my path The lengthy brain melting cacophony only subsided when gentle bass vibrations swirled softly into a warm “Brokedown Palace ”

A highlight: A five foot three dancing blue bear grooving through the crowd all night made her/his/its way up onto the stage

After the final joys of “Sugar Magnolia,” “Uncle John’s Band” and “Johnny B Goode” to end the show, I zombied out onto State Street looking for a way to safely float back down to earth Alas, no balloons, only a man selling grilled cheese

I happily settled for grilled cheese, knowing the Dead were alive as ever

While Lorde’s descriptive lyrics and her deep, intense voice retain a strong presence, this new song and its accompanying video are a bit less uplifting than her usual work Opening with an eerie sustained hum as Lorde sits in a dimly lit motel room, the focus is on her own suffering and emotions Moving almost constantly in solitude, and flailing (her personal form of dancing) in various gloomy locations, the young singer appears passionate and invested in the song Recorded for Mockingjay Part 1, the next installment of The Hunger Games, the song ’ s darker nature suits the purpose With lyrics like, “I dream all year, but they’re not the sweet kinds / and the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time,” the song seems to convey a sense of disturbance, displayed by Lorde’s singing in the middle of a road at night and later fainting at a crowded party However, it also captures the revolutionary feeling of Mockingjay The ever-present darkness draws the focus to each shot’s particular light source, and the reference to the “red, orange, yellow flicker beat, sparking up my heart” suggests a fire burning, bringing hope to the compelling tune With little visible makeup and very personal lyrics, Lorde projects a “bare” version of herself, and moves into new, more meaningful territory with this creepy and stirring video

I gave my feelings on One Direction’s latest offering, FOUR, in Friday’s paper

The music video for “Night Changes,” the second single for that album, debuted not long after I had dyed my fingers the newsprint-blue of narcissism (man, my name looks good in print), and I got to say it made me rethink some things In my middling review, I asked fairly simply, where had the fun gone ? “Night Changes” brings it back, in standard 1D fashion, with a ridiculous, over-the-top, ham and cheese Dating Game-style shitshow I’ve praised the group ’ s smart choice to not show romantic interests in their videos in the past (it would spoil the fantasy!) and they take this to next extreme with “Night Changes” a Ben Winston-directed effort to show you how it would feel to go on a date with any one of the 1D guys

The girl is left a mystery, and the camera is meant to be the viewers eyeballs

Cloying? Try adorable

And clearly, because it’s One Direction, everything gets goofy fast Harry Styles’ ice skating date turns into an ambulance ride, Liam Payne tosses his cookies after a particularly topsy-turvy carnival ride and Niall, well Niall lights himself on fire and does not know how to handle the situation at all Stupid little beautiful boy This is marketing like you ain’t never seen take note, boy bands of the world

An American in Edinburgh: Thanksgiving TV

Of all of the holidays at our disposal, I still find Thanksgiving to be the greatest There is less pressure, less obligation, and more food than any other holiday Put that together with the fact that my family has cut throat Sorr y! tournaments each Thanksgiving and our killer stuffing recipe (oh and my fabulous homemade pies) and I see no other holiday that I enjoy more Which makes this year all the more tragic Being in Europe from September until January means I am missing Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s But the only holiday I truly wish to be home for is Thanksgiving

How will I survive a city without Thanksgiving, you ask? Well, by living vicariously through my favorite television shows, of course! And who better to share in the Thanksgiving love than all of you lovely Cornellians So, when you get sick of the parade on Thanksgiving Day and have no desire to help out in the kitchen, here is my list of the best Thanksgiving episodes to look out for:

6 SMALLVILLE: “A M B U S H ”

for angsty teenage Superman as Clark chops wood in the barn With his bare hands While there would be so many other people whom I would prefer seeing at a Kent Thanksgiving, as long as Clark and Lois are present, that is good enough to make my list

5 BEWITCHED: “SAMANTHA’S THA NKSGIVING TO RE MEMBER ”

This episode is sweet and funny in the way that only Bewitched is When Aunt Clara was sleep talking and accidentally pops over to the Steven’s house, she starts to reminisce about the first Thanksgiving on Plymouth She then accidentally transports them all back to the seven-

Not a fabulous episode, but a fun one nonethe-less In truth, the whole hero registration plot was a bit boring, but the reason this Thanksgiving episode makes the list is the adorable Lois and Clark scenes After waiting three season for Lois to appear, five and a half seasons for them to become and couple and then another half a season for Lois to figure out the truth, any adorableness involving the two of them is always welcome After General Lane catches them Lois wearing only Clark’s old football jersey, pulling him out to the porch swing for Round Two amusement abounds as he sets a list of tasks for Clark to complete in order to prove himself We almost get nostalgic

teenth century (accidentally bringing along nosy neighbor Mrs Kravitz) It is a cute episode and showcases the girl-powered badassness of Samantha A Thanksgiving win-win

4 CHUCK: “ C H U C K VE R S U S T H E N E ME S I S ” Life hasn’t been quite the same without this quirky, fun spy show Especially after that controversial ending destroyed our faith in humanity If we ignore the fifth season, however, we can go back to season one: a simpler time Back before “I know kung-fu,” when the whole “ spy ” thing was still a huge secret Chuck and Sarah, fresh off their first real kiss, have to face deadly enemies: Bryce Larkin friend or foe?, Fulcrum who are they?, Thanksgiving dinner with the whole family and Black Friday

at the Buy More There is everything you could possibly want in 42 minutes of television viewing: Car chases, shoot outs, dramatic hand-to hand combat, Jeff and Lester, love triangles and overly dramatic Buy More sub-plots Add it to your Netflix Queue

3 A RC H E R : “ L O S C A NDOLO”

I know, I know This is not a true Thanksgiving episode It does, however, contain a rather fabulous dinner party so I couldn’t resist adding my favorite spy team to the list (sorry Chuck) The episode involves a murdered Italian Prime Minister decked out in some rather kinky sex toys and tied up in Mallory’s apartment In a very Thanksgiving fashion, all of Mallory’s close friends are brought in to deal with the fiasco, they sit down to dinner and all take home leftovers when they leave Unfortunately, in this case, the leftovers are pieces of the Italian Prime Minister, which probably wouldn’t make a good midnight soup or sandwich Worth it just to see Cheryl and Pam at a fancy dinner party

Gilmores’, the episode will satisfy any and all Thanksgiving traditions you could possibly have

2 G I L M O R E G I R L S : “A DE EP F RIED KOREAN T HANKSGIVING”

It’s not too hard to see why this episode is on almost every list of “Best Gilmore Girls episodes” that started popping up all over the Internet the moment it was announced that the show was coming to Netflix Four vastly different Thanksgiving dinners, each featuring a different set of our favorite characters, take Rory and Lorelai through a marathon eating event From Tofurkey at the Lane’s, deep fried shoe at the Belvilles’, classic Americana food at Luke’s, and family tension and yelling at the

1 FRIENDS: “ THE O NE WHERE RO SS G OT HIGH ” With nine Thanksgiving episodes in 10 seasons it is damn near impossible to pick Say what you want about Friends, but it is the master of the Thanksgiving episode From guest cameos by Brad Pitt, to terrifying troll doll trophies, to fabulous flashbacks (including a few into Phoebe’s past lives) and the first time Chandler tell’s Monica her loves her these episodes make every other attempt dwarf in comparison But, if you only get one Friends episode in this Thanksgiving, season six is the one to go for Apart from the Gellars, there are no special cameos, but the climax of the episode involving lightning fast confessions is on my list of funniest Friends moments of all time

was the difference I thought in the second period in making sure it stayed a 1-1 game ”

Yale tied the game up early in the third off a misplay by Gillam, as the Red netminder mishandled the puck behind the net and Yale defenseman Ryan Obuchowski was able to snake it away and bounce the puck off Gillam for a 2-2 contest

With seven minutes to go in the contest, the Red took the lead for good as Hilbrich fired home a shot from the slot with an assist from linemate Cole Bardreau

“The guy kinda lost me, so I was just screaming ‘Bardreau’ and he heard me and right onto my tape, thank god I’m a lefty,” Hilbrich said, laughing as he described the game-winning play “The guy in front of me kinda tried to get a stick on it, but I just shot where I tentatively shoot low blocker and it ended up working ”

The Red carried the momentum from Friday’s game into the next night’s contest against the Bears, zipping to a 3-0 lead before the opening frame was over

Senior forward Joel Lowry got the Red on the board first, deflecting in sophomore defenseman Holden Anderson’s shot five minutes into the game

The Red struck in on the power play five minutes later, as freshman forward Dwyer Tschantz deflected in a shot from Bliss Hilbrich earned the third first period strike for the Red, with assists from linemates Bardreau and Weidner

“ That whole line Hilbrich, Weidner and Bardreau they’re outstanding,” Schafer said after the Brown game “Just their awareness, their movement But it was simple, they weren ’ t careless When they play that way they’re ver y effective ”

Sophomore forward Matt Buckles scored the Red’s fourth goal to bring the game to its final 4-0

score On the power play, Buckles missed his initial chance by ringing the puck off the goalpost, but later in the same shift Weidner passed the puck from the right circle to a wide-open Buckles in the left circle, who buried his shot home this time for his third goal of the season

Freshman Hayden Stewart started between the pipes for the Red, turning in a 26-save performance to keep the Red’s 20-season shutout streak alive He is the first Red freshman goaltender to earn a shutout in six years

“To play that well of a game that we played tonight with that group of guys in there that have worked hard every day and deserved it is an unbelievable feeling,” Stewart said, praising his supporting cast

Several Red players have returned to the lineup recently after sitting out due to injury in the first few weeks Tschantz, the second goal-scorer against Brown, is one of the players back; this weekend marked his collegiate debut after injuries hampered him for the early part of the season

“It was pretty fun,” Tschantz said of returning to the ice “Sitting in the stands watching is not the most fun thing to do, so getting back on the ice and going to war with the guys is awesome I love it, I can ’ t describe it; it’s a great feeling ”

Having a healthier roster means Schafer can scratch players, keeping competition tight to make it into the game-day lineup The fight for spots gives the team a better attitude going forward, according to Schafer

“It’s not so much keeping them fresh; it keeps them accountable,” Schafer said “When you feel like you ’ re gonna settle in and you feel comfortable in what’s going on, I think it’s human nature that we don’t have the same passion as we do when we ’ re trying to prove ourselves ”

For Archer, implementing a new offense, based off the reado p t i o n

n , ranked high on the list of priorities There were certainly some rough patches during the initial development of the new system, highlighted by the team ’ s inconsistency at the quarterback position Through the first five games of the season, the offense had t h row n m o re i n t

A very clear switch clicked on w

Somborn took over under center

Brow n Somborn’s strong, accurate arm immediately created a threat that had not existed with junior James Few and freshmen Jake Jatis and Ky l e Ga l l a g

Before Somborn, the Red averaged 144 4 passing yards with 1 2 touchdowns and 1 4 interceptions per game with a 489 comp l e t i o n p e rc e n t a g e Wi t h Somborn, the team averaged 260 yards through the air with two touchdowns and one interception per game and a 576 completion percentage

Se n i o r c a p t a i n a n d w i d e receiver Lucas Shapiro said having that consistency at quarterback combined with a threat on the ground created a much more balanced offensive attack later in the season, one that was unseen with

So p h o m o re l i n e b a c k e r Mi l e s Norris led the team in tackles with 71 and sacks with 4 5 Led by senior captain Justin Harris, the defense grew substantially over the course of the season and proved effective once the offense began to increase its time of possession Leaders like Harris, Archer said, helped inspire the

team on a week to week basis, regardless of the results

“ [ H a r r i s ] c a r e s a b o u t h i s team, cares about Cornell football so much, like [senior safety] Rush [Imhotep], like Shapiro, l i k e

Offense Back on Track With Seven Goals in Victories

By EMILY BERMAN Sun Assistant Sports Editor

For weeks, the mantra of the men ’ s ice hockey team has been to stick with the process, to avoid frustration, to fight the sense of panic that accompanies a talented team stumbling to a 1-3 conference start

the Red “I said that to their coach afterwards always seem to have great contests, ” said head coach Mike Schafer ’86 after the Yale game “Respectful, clean contests where the guys play hard but [with] respect I thought it was a good college hockey game ”

Special teams dominated Friday’s contest

The Bulldogs struck early in the first on the power play, taking a 1-0 lead 6:45 into the opening frame After Yale won a scrum by the blue line to keep the puck in the zone, the Bulldog defensemen found wide-open sophomore forward John Hayden, who fired a slap shot past Red sophomore goalie Mitch Gillam’s blocker

The Red’s faith in its systems was finally validated this weekend, as the team put together its most consistent play yet to take victories over Yale and Brown for its first four-point weekend of the season Junior for ward Christian Hilbrich, who scored the winning goal on Friday and was instrumental in Saturday’s match, had one word to describe the weekend: “huge ”

“We’re planning on going on a roll now, all the way through MSG ‘til Christmastime We don’t want to lose another game losing sucks,” Hilbrich said, emphasizing the last word Friday’s game was the closer of the two matches, as the Red eked out another tight contest against Yale with a 3-2 victory Last season, both of the games between the two squads resulted in narrow one-goal wins for

The Red struck back two minutes later, taking a power play goal of its own With Yale in the box for hooking, sophomore forward Jake Weidner set up junior defenseman Reece Wilcox by the blue line Wilcox’s long blast sailed past Bulldog goalie Alex Lyons on the glove side and ricocheted off the corner post and into the net to tie the contest at one goal apiece

Cornell took the lead in the second frame, as freshman defenseman Ryan Bliss scored his first goal for the Red on a wrist

Playing hero | Junior forward Christian Hilbrich, who scored the game-winner in Friday’s victory over Yale, described the weekend wins as ‘huge’ for the Red

shot that sailed through traffic to beat Lyon Bliss’ goal also came on the power play

“It was great to see him score his first collegiate goal,” Schafer said “That’s one of the things [we changed] We moved him on the power play he gets shots through, he gets them down to the net ”

Although the Red took the lead heading into the second intermission, Yale’s offense put up a dogged fight in the middle frame
