Editor’s Note: The following is an edited version of an open letter delivered by Marco Fuentes ’85 to President Michael Kotlikoff and members of Cornell University’s Board of Trustees. He can be contacted at marco_a_fuentes@hotmail.com.
On the night of Sept. 25, Cornell University Program Board hosted comedians Preacher Lawson and Daniela Mora for a “family friendly” Parents’ Weekend show. Filled with both students and parents, Bailey Hall was the site of a hilarious yet categorically mature set from opener Mora and a borderline frenetic performance from headliner Lawson as he experimented with different bits, crowdwork and drinking water.
Emma Ruth Rundle is hard to describe in sufficiently laconic terms. By simply saying “singer-songwriter,” one does not seem to reach sufficient depth; by expanding outside the strict definition, one wanders into the endless forest of possible genres and occupations to append: a metal vocalist, a poet, a visual artist. But however cliche it may sound, her artistic presence is so all-encompassing — and yet so niche.
In a world of series and spin-offs, the media industry’s obsession with sequels comes as no surprise. But sometimes a franchise takes a different route, creating books and movies about events occurring before the original story. These prequels often provide background, origin stories and supplementary world-building, presumably aimed at helping audiences better understand the plot of the initial piece.
Victoria Monét knows what works. Having written songs for Selena Gomez, Fifth Harmony and Ariana Grande, including “7 rings” and "thank u, next" Monét has established herself as a genre-spanning, effective songwriter. But Monét had her own individual breakout through 2023's Jaguar II. The record was full of artistic risks — breezy, extended outros, experimental bass and horn-heavy production, and confident, sex-positive lyricism. And the risks paid off; the record brought Monét three Grammys, including “Best New Artist,” “Best R&B Album” and “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.”
On Sept. 24, Hasan Piker visited Cornell’s campus to talk to students about an array of issues: the conflict in the Middle East, the massive shift our political sphere is undergoing and most importantly, the role of young people amid these changes. Speaking to a packed Sage Chapel, Piker was invited onto campus by the Students Not Bombs campaign, a collective initiative by Cornell Young Democratic Socialists of America, Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace. Despite the controversy, Piker’s presence on campus starkly underscored the need for greater protection and empowerment of all voices.

What better way to waste my Friday evening than by going to a dating show? Or so I thought, as I entered Goldwin Smith Hall 132, jammed wall-to-wall with spectators buzzing with excitement. Cornell has its fair share of what I’d like to call ‘matchmaking platforms’ from the Bisexual Pop the Balloon: A Live Queer Dating Show to Big Red Missed Connections and Perfect Match, all comedic attempts to solve the loneliness epidemic on this campus. Now, enter the Kupid Dating Show.
Over the last few years, there have been a significant number of new show releases focusing on teens and young adults that are just begging to be hated on. After watching these shows, one should seriously question the ability of directors and producers to portray people our age in a realistic way.

Na Hong-jin’s Hope is one of the most baffling movies of the decade. After premiering at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the wildly mixed reactions from critics and festival goers placed the film high on my watchlist. After all, Hope hardly fits the bill of your typical Cannes premiere, especially one in the main competition lineup. It’s a CGI-heavy creature feature, more focused on intense action than developing its characters or storyline. Hope is no less absurd outside of the Cannes lineup, and, a week after seeing the film, I still don’t quite know what to think. Still, I will always admire a movie that takes big swings, and Hope certainly doesn’t shy away from taking every risk possible.
Saturday afternoon, volleyball returned home following back-to-back road tournaments, where it took on the Columbia Lions (6-4, 0-1 Ivy) to open Ivy League play. Cornell’s (5-5, 1-0 Ivy) continued defensive effort powered the squad to a quick sweep in front of the Newman faithful.
