| 1 | Campus reactions to CCC: Paving the path toward tolerance by George Ellerbach · News | Volume 128, Issue 14 The “all-campus” Cornell Coalition for Change (CCC) meeting Mon. March 24 began with an explanation of how the group has been active on campus and how it has created a preliminary proposal to address the issues of hate and intolerance on the Cornell campus. Janah Cook, the president of the coalition, told those in attendance that the coalition had presented proposals to the administration; they and the group scheduled another meeting in April to further discuss the possibility of carrying out the proposals. Cook emphasized that the proposals are only in draft form at this point and that anyone at this meeting or in future meetings can still provide input to modify the proposal. |
| 2 | Friendship, laughter and healing by Danielle Green · News | Volume 128, Issue 14 A lecture by the famed physician and clown Patch Adams began at 7 p.m. in King Chapel on Wed. April 9. He was introduced by Barbara Christie-Pope, Associate Professor of Biology, who spoke about the efforts within the Cornell community to have an undergraduate program whose students are taught the importance of health care through humanities and social sciences. She then presented Adams to the full house of listeners. Adams walked on stage wearing a smile and a colorful set of scrubs. |
| 3 | New R.E.M. album “Accelerate” doesn’t hit on all cylinders by Nathan Sacks · AE | Volume 128, Issue 14 Who could have predicted 20 years ago that R.E.M. would become the venerated institution that it is today, a stadium-rock juggernaut comparable to U2 or the Rolling Stones? Certainly I wouldn’t have, nor would I have predicted that their precipitous (if somewhat unstable) rise to mainstream fame would coincide almost perfectly with a string of albums containing increasingly diminished returns. “Accelerate,” R.E.M.’s 13th album, has already been hailed in some critical circles as a “return to form” (a coded message for fans to stay away if there ever was one) and even as their best album since 1996s “New Adventures in Hi-Fi,” which was the last album to involve their long-standing drummer Bill Berry. |
| 4 | Rechecking facts by Laura Krouse · Opinions | Volume 128, Issue 14 Ariel Glasman wrote an impassioned editorial for the last issue of The Cornellian expressing her thoughts about our food and the system by which it comes to us. While we admire her willingness to speak her mind about a complicated topic, there are some statements in the article that are misleading. The biology department is concerned that readers have factual information about our food system, and so I offer a few corrections. |
| 5 | Students gain professional experience in Vietnam by Mariel Canas · News | Volume 128, Issue 14 Operation Walk is a private, not-for-profit, volunteer medical services organization that provides free surgical treatment for patients in developing countries (and occasionally in the U.S.), that do not have access to life-improving care for arthritis or other debilitating bone and joint conditions. Operation Walk also educates in-country orthopedic surgeons, nurses, physical therapists and other health care professionals on the most advanced treatments and surgical techniques for diseases of the hip and knee joints. This is done in conjunction with surgeries to help create a lasting contribution to patient care in developing countries. |
| 6 | The complexities of autism are innumerable by Margaret Behr · Opinions | Volume 128, Issue 14 April is autism awareness month. Somehow I feel like a bit of a failure for not knowing this until now, but it is important nonetheless. Autism is complicated, to put it simply. It is not basic, nor is it easily understood. However, that is not to say it should not be discussed. One of the hardest things regarding autism as of right now is the inconsistency with which it arises and the questions it provokes but does not answer. |
| 7 | The forum: If it's broken, fix it by The Cornellian Editorial Board · Opinions | Volume 128, Issue 14 Many of you may remember an article printed in The Cornellian by the eloquent Laurie Rice concerning the need for an “Awareness of Awareness Day” last year. Well, it is once again time to reexamine this theme. In short, this college is in dire need of a forum on forums; perhaps several. The excess and near irresponsibility to which this college utilizes forums as an answer to nearly all of its issues, from racial slurs to sexist comments, is nearing pointlessness and has done very little in terms of productivity. |
