Baseball Ready to Get Rolling

“People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.”

Students Choose Trustee

By March 14, 2005

The Trustee Nominating Committee released the results of the 2005 student trustee election yesterday, declaring Doug Mitarotonda grad the new student trustee. He will be serving with Josh Katcher ’06. A student trustee is elected every year and serves a two-year term. “I can’t express how excited I am to represent the Cornell community to the Board of Trustees,” Mitarotonda told The Sun yesterday. Mitarotonda, who is also a Sun columnist, ran in a three-way race against Rayon Taylor ’07 and Justin Davis ’07, a member of the “Students First” ticket. According to the results published by the committee, Davis was disqualified for alleged illegal campaigning in dining and residence halls. Davis denied the charges, saying, “I have facts and evidence to prove that that isn’t true.” “Clearly [Mitarotonda] won the race,” he said. “But the Office of Assemblies really screwed me from the beginning.” Katcher said that he was happy to be working with Mitarotonda in the next year. “I called him up and congratulated him [when he won],” Katcher said. “He brings with him a wealth of experience that, in recent history, trustees have not brought, in that he was both an undergraduate and a graduate student here.” For his part, Mitarotonda said he will try to push for safety improvements for University students. “We need to make sure students are safe on and off campus,” he said, adding that the “Collegetown Creeper” and the David Church case have raised concerns that the University needs to take an active part in ensuring the safety of all of its students, no matter where they live. He also said that he will push for issues important to undergraduates as well as graduate students. “It’s exciting to represent graduate and professional students on the Board of Trustees,” he said. “I do still have close ties with undergraduate groups and the undergraduate community.” Brian Holmes grad, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly, said that he was happy Miterotonda won. “Doug is the first graduate student ever elected student trustee as a grad,” he said, adding, “He really appealed to all students.” The Trustee Nominating Committee statement said that Davis’s disqualification did not affect the end results of the race.Archived article by Michael MorisySun News Editor
Scott's Goal Sends Icers To ECACHL Semis

By March 13, 2005

An overtime goal by freshman Topher Scott sent the crowd at Lynah Rink into celebration, as the Cornell men’s hockey team defeated Clarkson, 3-2, on Saturday night to book its place into the ECACHL semifinals. With the Red taking the teams’ first encounter on Friday night, 5-0, in a best of three game series, Clarkson jumped out to an early lead on Saturday off a Jay Latulippe goal in the first period. Cornell junior Shane Hynes was quick to answer about two minutes later, with a goal of his own. The teams were tied up at two by the end of three periods. In overtime, both teams battled evenly, as Red sophomore goaltender David McKee became one of the night’s stars — making several key saves down the stretch. McKee’s heroics set the tone for Scott’s goal, as the freshman scored off a pass from winger Cam Abbott. Cornell will travel to Albany on Friday, where it will face the winner of the Vermont/Dartmouth series.
