The 98th Academy Awards will take place at 7 p.m. on March 15. There are four notable precursors for the Oscars, including the Actor Awards (formerly known as SAG awards), which took place this past Sunday. The other three are the Critics Choice Awards, the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs, which have also crowned their winners for the season. The only thing left to do is to sit around and twiddle our thumbs, and try to make sense of the various and contradicting directions these precursors point in.
In fact … she was … the blueprint.
Ithaca is a cold, lonesome place. I may believe this because I’m from the sunny state of California, but regardless, that was the mindset I had traveling 3,000 miles from home to Cornell. Entering as a sophomore transfer student undoubtedly made things worse. I left my previous school just as I had gotten comfortable. Not to mention, making new friends seems to get more difficult with age. I can acknowledge that this was my decision to make, but the transition was more difficult that I imagined it would be. I didn’t know how to find my place here — all in all, I had a very rocky start.
After the first day of the Men’s Ivy League Swim and Dive Championship at DeNunzio Pool in Princeton, New Jersey, the Red sat third in the standings. The men have finished as high as third only once since 1962, in 2009.
There is one simple truth at 139 W State St.: Life revolves around The Sun. On Saturday, Sun staffers gathered to elect its 144th Editorial Board. Light filtered through the dance hall’s window panes to shine on discussions of ambitions and new beginnings. The silence following our speeches settled into the walls, floorboards and the yellowed pages of past issues. You read the stories and check the news, but it’s time to meet the editors. Please join us in welcoming the members of our 144th Editorial Board!
The Cornell University Police Department currently has a contract to operate seven different Flock Safety AI cameras on Cornell’s campus, according to the Ithaca Voice; these cameras have been operating on campus since October 2024, according to a University spokesperson.
On Saturday, in the second-floor ballroom of the brick-and-mortar heart of our downtown Ithaca office, The Sun gathered to elect its 144th Editorial Board. Hours and hours of deliberation ensued as the next generation of editors, for a paper that has remained unwaveringly independent since 1880, were elected by their peers.
With these words in June, President Michael Kotlikoff announced what he called “financial austerity” at Cornell: “We must immediately address our significant financial shortfalls by reducing costs and enacting permanent change to our operational model.”
David Duffield’s $371.5 million gift to Cornell University is being celebrated as a triumph of innovation, vision and progress. New laboratories will be built. Nanoscience will advance. Engineering will bear his name for generations. And yet, for all its magnitude, the gift is ultimately irrelevant to the most urgent problem we face: how to keep ourselves from destroying one another.
Crossing between the spheres of science and politics, former United States Congressman Rush Holt brought his breadth of experience to a talk and panel discussion in Goldwin Smith Hall on Thursday. Holt reflected on how the current state of science in the U.S. came to be and outlined possibilities for where it can head in the future.
Up a dirt driveway in Trumansburg, New York, amongst a patchwork of grass and snow, I could see a red barn perched welcomingly against the sunset-streaked horizon. Bohemian sun and moon decals ornamented the outside walls, and a row of solar panels lined the roof. Through the top window, illuminated by the glow of lights strung between the battens, the outline of a crowd was visible: Friends, family and townspeople gathering to enjoy an evening of Americana tunes.
I want to write a song. This is nothing new. All too often, when I sit down with my guitar and notebook, I find myself trapped in the jaws of writer’s block. I may land on a small melodic or lyrical section I like, but then I struggle to come up with anything I consider good enough to follow it. Time after time, perfectionism stifles creation; I get so attached to the hope of writing something wonderful that I overthink it and end up barely writing anything at all. My creative possibilities are endless, but when I fixate on an unattainable ideal, these possibilities can never come to fruition.
Last year, I wrote an article about my choice to disaffiliate from my sorority following what I felt was an inherent link between Greek Life and sexual assault on Cornell’s campus. Perhaps it was naive of me, but I felt at that time that there was a mounting pressure on Cornell’s administration to do something. I thought that the horrific occurrence at Chi Phi brought with it a sort of finality. Then I thought back to the incidents that occurred during my freshman year — a group of assaults at a fraternity that also held an air of finality about them too, but still no substantial strides were made. Still, I had some hope.
If senior defenseman Jack O’Brien’s final week at Cornell is anything like his first week, he wants no part of it.
When the bare branches above begin to shed a whirlwind of snowflakes onto the ground below, many Cornellians prepare to brave the harsh winter winds of a false spring, feeling the breeze in their The North Face coats (and also in their hearts). College students across universities would agree that cold winters bring an inexplicable longing for warmth — the emotional kind. The very first winter breeze triggers a surge in couples holding hands and budding pairs across campus, many of whom seem to materialize out of thin air. It’s a campus-wide phenomenon that none of us can escape.
