Test Spin: Socialburn

Perhaps calling Socialburn the orphaned offspring of Bush and Creed is an unfair criticism. Maybe there’s a reason they were orphaned. At least when Bush did it, Gavin Rossdale’s voice was alluring, and damnit, he was hot. When Creed did it

  • S.A. to Create Special Slope Day Committee

    By wpengine February 7, 2003

    After a debate-filled meeting yesterday evening, the Student Assembly (S.A.) passed resolutions regarding Slope Day and Cornell’s application for undergraduate admission, among other issues. In an effort to better represent student opinions to the administration, the S.A. voted on a resolution to form an ad-hoc committee “to evaluate the undergraduate student body’s desires for Slope Day.” This resolution was proposed in response to the feeling shared by many members of the S.A. that student insight and opinions on Slope Day have been largely ignored by the administration, especially when “contradictory to the president’s charge,” according to the resolution. “I hope students get angry. I hope they get interested in this committee,” Student-Elected Trustee Leslie Barkemeyer ’03 said. Last November, President Hunter R. Rawlings III sent a charge to the Slope Day Steering Committee to overhaul Slope Day so it would conform to all alcohol regulations, be a safe and fun event and fulfill Cornell’s value of “freedom with responsibility.” “I think this is an important resolution that will allow the student body to give input on Slope Day. It is a big step in the right direction,” said Stuti Mandala ’04, S.A. vice president of finance. Though most members agreed that it is important to keep the student body informed and seek its input on the issues surrounding Slope Day, concerns arose about the effectiveness of creating a new committee. “Just creating a new committee doesn’t mean we’ll be heard by the administration,” said Ari Epstein ’04, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences representative. Despite this misgiving, the resolution passed by 14 votes. In a move that will affect future prospective Cornell students, the S.A. also passed a resolution supporting an additional question on the application for undergraduate admission. The question, which asks applicants to “discuss an event or situation you have experienced that was influenced by the input of people from other backgrounds and/or perspectives,” is meant to reaffirm and strengthen the University’s commitment to “Open Doors, Open Hearts, Open Minds.” “It is a good solution to giving meaning to the statement,” said Minority Liaison-At-Large Jermaine Gause ’04, who proposed the resolution last semester. The question has been approved by the committee in charge of the admissions application and will appear in the application for next year’s freshman class. “This question really asks something compelling of prospective students. It deals with part of the Cornell experience,” said Sai Pidatala ’04, S.A. executive vice president and minority liaison. On a different side of the diversity issue at Cornell, Lynette Chapell-Williams, director of the Office of Workforce Diversity, Equity and Life Quality, presented the Committee on Special Education Projects’ (COSEP) report on bias-related incidents at Cornell and effective techniques used by other universities to deal with incidents. Chapell-Williams reported that although there was one more bias-related incident this fall semester compared with the fall 2001 semester, last year the majority of incidents were verbal while last semester most incidents involved graffiti. “This year the majority of bias activity occurred in the residence halls,” she said. Last year’s bias-related activity was split between the residence halls and the campus. Archived article by Elizabeth Donald

  • No. 5 Red Gets Last Regular Season Shot at Green, Cats

    By wpengine February 7, 2003

    The men’s hockey team will attempt to stay atop the competitive ECAC standings this weekend as it faces Dartmouth (12-8-1, 8-6-0 ECAC) tonight and welcomes Vermont (9-12-3, 6-8-0) tomorrow. Both games begin at 7:00 p.m. at Lynah Rink. The Red (17-4-0, 12-2-0) split a road weekend earlier this season, defeating Vermont 8-0 and dropping a 5-2 contest in Hanover the following night. Many consider tonight’s match-up with the Green the ECAC’s game of the week. Though Dartmouth is currently tied for fourth in the conference and trails the Red by a formidable eight-point margin, the importance of the game runs deep for both teams. Cornell’s senior class has never beaten the notorious giant killers in four seasons on East Hill. Tonight’s game could mark the Class of ’03’s final opportunity to spell the juggernaut from up north. “We’ve talked about [what we need to do to beat Dartmouth] and we’ve stressed a lot about being very, very aggressive both physically with the puck and being disciplined,” said head coach Mike Schafer ’86 when asked what his team will look to do differently this time around against the Green. Dartmouth boasts a pair of young guns who have been able to consistently produce offensive numbers for the Green this season. Sophomore Lee Stempniak is currently tied for second in the conference in total goals with 11, while freshmen Hugh Jessiman is fourth in scoring with 23 points in 14 games. Jessiman has garnered a lot of attention lately, outscoring the rest of the ECAC freshman class by an incredible margin (his closest competition has 10 less points in six more games) and easily establishing himself as the odds-on favorite for Rookie of the Year honors. Overall, the Green boasts an offensive-minded attack that will give up goals in order to open up the game to a scoring dual. Dartmouth tellingly holds a fourth overall offensive ranking (3.86 goals per game), while allowing the opposition an average 3.64 goals. “We need to play within our system and be way more disciplined, finish our chances and just play our hockey game,” said senior co-captain Doug Murray. On Nov. 16, Cornell and Dartmouth met for the first time in 2002-03, and the Green stole a closer game than it appeared. Two of the Green’s five goals were empty-netters, and it remained a one-goal contest until just under two minutes remaining in the third period. It was arguably the Red’s most frustrating performance of the year, as chances went unfinished, goals were disallowed, and the bounce of the puck seemed to favor the Green. Cornell experienced a similar feeling after last Thursday’s loss to an overmatched Colgate team. “[Colgate] was a team we shouldn’t have struggled with, had we played our own style. But we surely didn’t do that,” said Murray. Tomorrow night’s game against a lesser Vermont team should allow the Red to flex its offensive muscles, though last week’s loss to the Raiders reminded Cornell that it did not have the luxury of taking a night off. “Every win means a lot to us right now, anyone that saw what the loss to Colgate did to us in the PairWise and the RPI. We’re playing on a different plane here and what I mean by that is that every game we play, there’s a lot at stake for us as there is for them,” said Schafer. “With the race being as close as it is, you can’t slip up in one game or else they’re going to be right there,” added B
