Keri and Allie introduce the content for Daze's final spring semester issue with their Slope Day letter.

The second-to-last Letter From the Daze Editors!

Daze celebrates Earth Day (the other green holiday in April) with a look at the Seven Natural Wonders of Ithaca.

In anticipation of one of the most popular collegiate holidays, Daze explores the local head shops that serve as some of Ithaca's prime pre-4/20 shopping destinations. Also, a new Cornell Diaries, an in-depth look at the Big Red Bear and tons more!

The weather may be inconsistent in Ithaca, but here at Red Letter Daze, we have continued to stay steady in our promise to bring you new and interesting content.

While the other sections in today’s Daily Sun are designed in celebration of April Fool’s Day, this week’s Daze isn’t a what’s-missing-from-this-picture issue. Rather, this week marks the introduction of some of the changes we promised you before Spring Break.

The sixth week of every spring semester signals an annual period of transition and change. This annual springtime renewal is neither Groundhog’s Day nor Easter — it takes place right between the two — but rather it is the Sun’s Editorial Board elections. 

There has been a whole lot of talk about Reimagining Cornell — a nebulous term that applies to everything this school does to try and stay viable (i.e. save money gracefully). As art parallels life (or is it the other way around?), we at The Sun, and Red Letter Daze in particular, are doing some reimagining of our own. 

There are people and groups on this campus who are important parts of the Cornell community, but they don’t necessarily step into the spotlight. Their faces and identities are hidden, but their activities are legendary on campus.

The Cornell chimesmasters and Underground are two such organizations.

In the case of the chimesmasters, their activities are heard several times a day in the form of the sweet sounds coming from McGraw Tower.

Thank God for DVR.

My roommates and I are recording the entire run of the Olympics, and the next few weeks will cause serious damage to our study schedules. For this week’s edition of Daze, Assistant Daze Editor Cara Sprunk explored Cornell’s Olympic presence, past and present.

However, there is entertainment to be found closer to our Ithaca home than the Vancouver Olympics.
