| 1 | A Watchful Silence of the Fathers by Andrew Halter · Flipside | Volume 128, Issue 4 His hands were soft and strong, like a velvet noose. He brought his gloved hand up to her cheek and stroked her chin gently with the frozen leather from the bottom of her ears to the bottom of her lip. She struggled gently, futile, he thought. “Good night, baby” he cooed gently, and she softly left the waking world. |
| 2 | ACP conference lends depth, knowledge by The Cornellian Editorial Board · Opinions | Volume 128, Issue 4 Amidst the grandiose government buildings, the multicultural hubs, the buzzing Metro and the millions of business suits was our humble newspaper staff. This past block break, The Cornellian attended the Associated Collegiate Press Conference in Washington, D.C. and the staff was bombarded with information and the surrounding culture of our nation’s capitol. Along with that, our Online Manager, Brian McMillin, was awarded second place for Best Online Package (check out his work at www.thecornellian.com) Our experience can benefit many, including you, the reader. |
| 3 | Addressing infectious rumors by Pat Kelly · News | Volume 128, Issue 4 Recently, talk of staph and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections around campus has stirred an increased concern among students with regard to their wellbeing. Rumors founded in misunderstanding have given rise to confusion and worry, leaving many to wonder where they can turn for answers concerning the true nature of current staph infection risk levels. |
| 4 | An introductory guide to independent films by Ariel Glasman · AE | Volume 128, Issue 4 Like most people at Cornell, I love to watch movies. Going to the movie theater (or “Cineplex”, if you want to get technical) was a huge treat when I was little and since then that dark, air-conditioned auditorium has been a fantastic place to spend summers, ditched school days and even Thanksgiving. I’ll watch any type of film, from “10 Things I Hate About You” to “The Breakfast Club,” with some “Saw” thrown in for good measure. However, I am a die-hard independent film fan.This love for indie films was spawned way back in 2001, after watching “Ghost World.” The graphic novel it’s based on is great, but parts of it just can’t compare with the soundtrack, which has music by little-known artists such as Skip James and Little Hot Jones. |
| 5 | An ode to Crayons... kind of by Clint Parry · Opinions | Volume 128, Issue 4 I was thinking today about crayons. You know the ones. I know people who call them “crowns,” which is rather ridiculous, but to each his own. Crown or cray-yawn, it matters not, because we all know the best brand: Crayola. |
| 6 | Antioch closes its doors by Katherine Sullivan · Opinions | Volume 128, Issue 4 “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” |
| 7 | Deaden your mind with a little help from ‘Tila Tequila’ by Janet Northey · AE | Volume 128, Issue 4 The perfect way to wind down after a gruesome final is to watch TV, preferably a show that does not require any thinking whatsoever. Naturally my mind, on such a Wednesday afternoon, is flipping through the channels for something to ease the pain of the recent exam. After flipping through a myriad of reruns and commercials I finally stop at channel 55, MTV. I am usually not one to stoop to the level of MTV, but as my brain was already fried and the show was just starting, I figured, why not? The show was, indeed, “A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila.” |
| 8 | Doth mine eyes...? by Laurie Rice · Flipside | Volume 128, Issue 4 Deception, lies, betrayal ... things are not always as they seem. And when we discover the truth we may wonder about the certainty of our conclusions. This experience of distrustfulness is not a wholly negative one. It is the artful creation of a deceptive reality which fuels the demand for mystery novels, suspenseful thrillers and horror movies. Betrayal can be a powerful dramatic element used to reveal the true integrity (or lack thereof) of the characters involved. |
| 9 | Face it: No one appreciates secondhand smoke by Heather Stocker · Opinions | Volume 128, Issue 4 There’s a new group seeking senate approval on campus — CAFE. It stands for Clean Air For Everyone, and it promotes the rights of non-smokers. Truthfully, I think it’s one of the best groups created on this campus. Not only am I a non-smoker, but I am also asthmatic and highly allergic to cigarette smoke. It really isn’t fun when I have to pass by people and hold my breath, or when I’m forced to hide behind my hands, a sweater or a water bottle in class because the person sitting next to me needed their smoke break. Now don’t get me wrong, I think smokers have their rights and if they want to do it, well then, by all means they can celebrate their freedom! But leave me out of it. |
| 10 | For students, by students: the Gumbo Project returns by Ariel Glasman · AE | Volume 128, Issue 4 The Gumbo Project, a two day event featuring acting, dance and comedy, will premiere in Kimmel Theater November 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. What is unique about this production is the degree to which students are involved. Entirely student-run and directed, The Gumbo Project opens itself up to everyone — not just theater students. Cornellians, from first to fourth years, are able to express their theatrical talent in the fields of directing and producing short plays, acting, Irish dancing and prose, among others. The Gumbo Project offers a creative outlet for a broad variety of performances. A student chooses just how involved he or she wants to be. |
