With relatively few logistical hurdles and a clear reason for action (the Greek system changes), creation of “Hubbell’s Pub,” as it might be called, should be an easy way for the administration to show that it is serious about listening to student ideas on how to improve Cornell’s late-night social options.

It’s nearly Thanksgiving, so The Sun is taking a break from chasing down all the turkeys running around Day Hall to call up the spirits of this University’s founders — Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White — to discuss what we’re all thankful for. Welcome to Seance With the Founders: Thanksgiving Edition.

Members of the Student Assembly are pushing for a pub on Cornell’s campus that would be open to anyone with a Cornell ID seven days a week — until 11 p.m. weekdays and 3 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. 

The Greek system is not the exemplar of exclusivity that is made out to be, argues Ben Koffel grad.

The Board of Trustees, which is convening on campus this weekend, is expected to vote on an amendment to the University’s Recognition Policy that seeks to ban alcohol, drugs, and hazing from recruitment and new member education.  

In advance of the Trustee Committee on Student Life's vote on the proposed changes to the University Recognition Policy, The Sun discusses why the amendment should be rejected.
