Men’s soccer headed into the most important part of its season this Saturday: Ivy League play. This team has a countless number of goals they would like to reach and an overall experienced team to help them achieve those goals. This showed when it played the Harvard Crimson (1-5-1, 0-1-0 Ivy).

Born from the bipartisan National Cultural Center Act of 1958 calling for the creation of a cultural center in the capital, the Kennedy Center has showcased the cultural diversity of the United States for just over 55 years, beginning with its grand opening on Sep. 8, 1971. With two of the aims in its authorizing statute being to “[present] world-class art by the artists that define our culture today” and to “[deliver] powerful arts education opportunities nationwide,” this memorial to the 35th president has platformed a host of memorable performances. Among them, major pre-Broadway runs like that of Moulin Rouge!, visiting international opera and ballet troupes like Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo and legendary musical tributes like Beyoncé’s powerful rendition of “Proud Mary,” which dazzled even Tina Turner. The Kennedy Center regularly hosts the National Symphony Orchestra and even presents the annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, among many other American artistic staples. It has also been committed to offering summer intensives, workshops and training programs for all kinds of blossoming artists. It goes without saying that the Kennedy Center has cemented itself as one of the United States’ most prized cultural institutions.

In 1971, 24 college students were sent into a mock prison (the basement of the Stanford Psychology Department) to play out an experiment on the human psyche and how people react to shifting power dynamics.

In the midst of a nationwide literary crisis, making time to read seems more important than ever — and what better way to do this than by exploring the local book scene at the Ithaca is Books Festival? The festival was four days long, from Sept. 10 to 13, and was hosted throughout local bookstores in and around the Ithaca Commons. It included a book fair with vendors, bookstores and various author discussions and book signings at local bookstores. There were about 40 authors and over 20 bookstores, libraries, radio stations and literary organizations, most local to Tompkins Country, tabling and hosting events throughout the weekend.
Unsurprisingly, my algorithm has ascertained that I like music. Somewhat more surprising is the fact that it has also curated an immense collection of Snoopy-related videos for me. Listen — Snoopy is America’s sweetheart; I am certainly not complaining about his sudden appearance on my feed. But he’s showing up everywhere, in every context, more than usual. I’m seeing videos of Charlie Brown adopting Snoopy, Snoopy-themed cakes, footage of the new Snoopy balloon for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. One of my professors even assigned a Peanuts episode for homework last week. The most shocking Snoopy situation to come across my desk, however, has been a painting juxtaposing that sweet dog with the cover of Jeff Buckley’s monumental 1994 album Grace, the only record Buckley was able to complete before his tragic death in 1997. Picture it: instead of Buckley holding his microphone, eyes squeezed shut, it’s Snoopy, looking extremely out of his element. “No snoopy don’t yearn that hard you’ll die [broken heart emoji, broken heart emoji],” one conscientious observer wrote in the Instagram comments. Divorcing this album from the act of yearning is an impossible feat, though. It’s over from the very second one starts listening to “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over.” Thus, I was inspired to revisit Grace and contemplate how Buckley achieves that effect, to the point where even Snoopy can’t help but yearn (a sentence I never thought I’d say).
Following a week of backlash from student organizations, conservative news outlets and prominent political figures, including President Donald Trump ally Laura Loomer, leftist political commentator Hasan Piker spoke to a crowd of 450 students at Sage Chapel on Thursday.

“Sports.” This is the word repeated nine times by actress Sydney Sweeney in a recent advertisement for the sports predication market app Novig. However, though the video promises it is about “just sports,” it has quickly accrued backlash from female athletes across the world for its imagery surrounding women’s bodies and their sports. That’s because this is no typical advertisement, but a semi-pornographic, exploitative way of designing media. Sweeney, nude except for a few well-placed pieces of athletic equipment, is sold alongside whatever else Novig offers, as she gestures to footballs, hockey sticks and her own body, saying, “You can trade this.” There is no distinction between object and person, but don’t worry, because Sweeney assures you that there is “no betting on death or wars, and no politics” when it comes to this presentation.
As we settle deeper into the fall semester, new students are starting to find their footing here at Cornell, discovering things like knowing when to catch the TCAT 81 in the mornings and when not to go to Okenshields. Another thing that freshmen are trying to discover is their own personal style.
