The Most Competitive Room in Collegetown: CTB Trivia

The only trivia I’d encountered before coming to Cornell was Trivial Pursuit, a board game now covered in dust in the back of a closet at home. Tuesday night at Collegetown Bagels on 420 College Avenue proved trivia could look very different from a simple board game: every table filled, music blasting and more than 10 teams debating answers with bragging rights on the line.

Noyes Fitness Center: Many People, Few Machines

Noyes Fitness Center, the only gym on West Campus, is located in Noyes Community Recreation Center, a short walk away from Baker Flagpole. This year, I have found myself at Noyes more than any other gym on campus. But this is not because Noyes is superior to any of the other fitness centers, or because I think it is particularly great. Instead, I’m at Noyes so often due to its convenience and familiarity; it is the closest to my dormitory and classes, leading me to return faithfully every time I want to work out.

Thirty Reasons To Love Cornell in the Spring Semester Slump From Thirty Students

We’ve arrived at what I like to call the dreaded ‘spring semester slump.’ Skies are gray, prelims are copious, the slope feels steeper and spring break cannot come soon enough. During this time of the semester, it is easy to forget the positive and succumb to academic pressure and focus only on the negative. Now, with the slump at its peak, I wanted to combat this mindset and highlight the benefits of living on this wonderful campus. So, I racked my brain for ways to remind people of the reasons why we all love attending Cornell — and then it hit me: all I had to do was remind people of the reasons why we all love attending Cornell.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR | This Giving Day, The Sun Is in Your Hands

If you have ever walked into the Temple of Zeus past 9 p.m., you have seen our editors hunched over laptops, refining the stories you will read in our newsletter the next day. If you have ever passed our office at 139 W. State St. on a Monday night, you have seen us flatting the pages you will hold in your hands by Wednesday. If you have ever sat behind one of our writers in lecture, you have watched them emailing the sources whose names you will see quoted in print. If you have ever wandered through Goldwin Smith Hall on a Thursday evening, you have heard us, the laughs, the debates and the occasional heated moments over the pieces you will later share with your friends. And if you have ever found yourself at a concert, at a game, at a protest, at an assembly meeting, on a foggy morning or a bright afternoon, you have seen our photographers with cameras hanging from their necks capturing the moments you will remember Cornell by.

YORK | ‘The Bride!’: A Classic Aesthetic, Reanimated

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s first film, The Lost Daughter, is an Oscar-nominated psychological drama based on Elena Ferrante’s novel of the same name. Her next feature, The Bride!, veers wildly into unknown territory. It’s messy, full of bizarre choices and certainly won’t be nominated at next year’s Academy Awards. The Bride! won’t work for everyone, but it resonated with me in a way I didn’t expect.

AYSW? | A Collection of Less-Than-Accurate Book Adaptations

A myriad of thoughts race through one’s mind when they discover their favorite novel is being brought to life on screen. Initial joy and anticipation can quickly cascade into skepticism with every questionable casting choice, disappointing trailer and obnoxious fandom discourse. One of my wardrobe staples as a child was a T-shirt with one simple statement printed across the front: “The Book Was Better.” I lived by that phrase every time a beloved book endured a big-budget butchering.

‘Forcings’: Frequencies in Foam

With every increasingly worrying headline I read, I wonder a few things, including but not limited to: Do people believe in science anymore? Do people believe in art anymore? Do people believe in each other anymore? And maybe those are pessimistic musings, but I’m comforted by the fact that, at Cornell, students are answering in the affirmative. Arden Conine ’26 and Jackson Fellows ’24 gave a resounding ‘yes’ to these questions in the form of an art installation. “Forcings,” a collaboration between Conine and Fellows, explored sonification, tidal frequencies and their translation into art, highlighting the process of listening and viewing in tandem.
