While it may seem like any other Friday to some, to others, today – 4/20 – is a day that couldn’t have come soon enough.

“Yeah, I’m definitely going to roll a fatty and smoke a doobie,” said one Cornell student, gearing up for today – a day on which many Cornell students will smoke cannibis, marijuana, weed, pot, grass, Mary Jane or ganga – however you choose to refer to it.

Prof. Jeremy Rabkin ’74, government, recently announced his resignation from Cornell, effective July 1. According to the government department, Rabkin has accepted a position teaching international law at George Mason School of Law in Washington, D.C.

“Unfortunately for [Cornell], he has taken a position at George Mason,” said Judy Vergilio, the government department manager.

According to Vergilio, Rabkin will finish teaching this semester at Cornell. Faculty, staff and graduate students have been notified of his departure.

As if weeks of prelims and papers are not bad enough, Cornell students can anticipate losing an extra hour of sleep this weekend as a result of Daylight Savings Time. At 2 a.m. this Sunday morning, time will move forward one hour.
