| 1 | An academic hub: A look at Cornell's 13th annual Student Symposium by Danielle Greenand Ariel Glasman · News | Volume 129, Issue 15 The month of April can be an exhilarating time in the life of a college student as graduate school acceptance letters filter in and the end of another year begins to approach. For Cornell students, April also means the Student Symposium is at hand, and despite a rather chilly and un-spring-like day, this year’s 13th annual symposium was bustling with student presenters and their advisers, parents and friends. Seventy students spanning from freshmen to seniors converged in the Commons to give both oral and poster presentations, as well as performances. Eighteen of Cornell’s academic departments were represented, with 33 faculty members lending their expertise to their students’ work. |

| 3 | Juggling housing on a residential campus by Ariel Glasman · News | Volume 129, Issue 15 Returning students received some surprising information when they opened an email from Judy Goetschius, Housing Facilities Coordinator. The purpose of her message was to inform students about available rooms for the 2009-2010 school year. Because Cornell is a primarily residential campus with over 90 percent of students living in a residence hall, room selection can be a time of anxiety and speculation as people find roommates, draw lottery numbers and search for a new dwelling. |
| 4 | A ticket to ride... or not by Ariel Glasman · News | Volume 129, Issue 14 Students were invited March 24 to take part in a set up known as the Purple Bike Program. According to an email sent to the student body by John Harp,Vice President of Student Affairs, the Purple Bike Program was coordinated and funded by Student Senate. The intent is to encourage students to have fun and perhaps save on fuel by using these distinctly colored bikes to ride around on campus and into Mount Vernon. According to Harp’s email, “Feel free to ride one if you see it; then return it to a Cornell bike rack so someone else can use it.” Along with this came a list of six expectations that included asking students always to return the bikes to a rack and to treat the bikes with respect. However, beginning April 6, the purple bikes have been recalled pending repairs. |

| 6 | Nationalization: Problem... or solution? by George Ellerbach · News | Volume 129, Issue 12 “Nationalization” is a term that has been thrown about a lot in public discussion recently. Surely, nationalization is just intended to fulfill President Obama’s socialist goals. After all, the 41st president, George H.W. Bush, nationalized troubled banks with the Resolution Trust Corporation, and we all know George H.W. Bush was the standard bearer of socialism. Seriously though, when The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman called nationalization as “American as apple pie,” he wasn’t far from the truth. Democrat or Republican, several presidential administrations have presided over government “nationalization” of banks. Right now, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is gobbling up small banks that are insolvent in order to clean them up and sell them back into the private sector. Now it is only a question of whether the government will take on the responsibility of cleaning up the larger banks in the U.S. as well. |
