I Was the Student Referenced in Kotlikoff’s Op-Ed. Here’s My Response. - The Cornell Daily Sun
I had been tabling with Cornell Progressives, talking to families about the University’s crackdown on student protest. President Kotlikoff and the administration are not neutral, they are picking and choosing which students to protect and which to punish. In his op-ed, President Kotlikoff cites this as his primary example of “protected speech” at Cornell. Clearly, President Kotlikoff disagrees. In our conversation, President Kotlikoff twice called me “ridiculous,” and wrote that I demonstrate a “fundamental misunderstanding.” Does President Kotlikoff view 5,000 of Cornell’s undergraduates as “ridiculous”?

Student Artist Spotlight: Havily Nwakuche
Courtesy of Havily Nwakuche I visited Tjaden Hall once again on Oct. 31 to sit down and talk art with senior BFA student Havily Nwakuche ’25. With her graduation looming in the near future, Nwakuche reflected on how both she and her art have grown since coming to Cornell. Growing up near a library that offered community art projects and always loving art in school, Nwakuche really started getting serious about her craft in her senior year of high school. Though she works with textiles and photography now, Nwakuche came into Cornell as a painter. Courtesy of Havily NwakucheThe most powerful aspect of art to Nwakuche is its impact.

My family fled the Holocaust. Here's why I may return to Germany.
I was born in the United States and have lived here almost my whole life. Until recently, German citizenship never crossed my mind. But my right to German citizenship was my father’s bequest. My grandfather pushed to leave sooner but — like many German Jews — Margot demurred. Once in the United States, he secured her a Cuban visa, but it was too late: She was already deported.

Series win over India eclipses my perfect 10, says NZ spinner Patel
The 36-year-old said his incredible figures in the 2021 Test were tarnished by the fact New Zealand lost the match heavily. I can say that for sure," Patel told New Zealand media. "This time around, bowling the team to a special test win and a 3-0 sweep in India is pretty epic and pretty crazy." It's the same when I get back to New Zealand and to Auckland for the first time after a while. Teammate Mitchell Santner had a match haul of 13 wickets in the second test in Pune as New Zealand's spinners beat India at their own game.

Tourism restricted to save St Martin’s Island: Rizwana
Referring to all the negative publicity surrounding travel restrictions on St Martin’s Island, Environment Advisor Syeda Rizwana Hasan says that the government has imposed some limitations on tourism to protect the only coral island in the country. Speaking of the destruction of the corals due to uncontrolled development of hotels and motels on the island, Rizwana said: “If this continues, by 2025, all the corals will be destroyed and St Martin’s will sink.”According to the interim government’s new limitations, St Martin’s Island will be open to tourists from November to January. Referring to the concerns of those who are criticising the government’s decision, Rizwana said: “People are muddying the waters for no reason about St Martin’s. According to internationally accepted journals, if this continues, all the corals will be destroyed by 2025 and St Martin’s Island will sink. That’s why tourism is still allowed on St Martin’s Island.”

Govt dismisses another 58 trainee sub-inspectors in Sardah
"The 58 [sub-inspectors] were served with show-cause notices as per the rules over breach of discipline and were dismissed after they failed to reply satisfactorily,” he said. On Oct 21, 252 cadet sub-inspectors undergoing training at the academy were dismissed for 'causing a commotion over the snacks served’ at the graduation parade rehearsal. Three other SIs from the same batch had been dismissed before the 252 SIs. The graduation parade of the 40th BCS cadre's trainee assistant police superintendents on Sunday was postponed due to 'unavoidable circumstances,' on Oct 20. The postponement occurred even though the home advisor and other high-ups in the home ministry went to Sardah to attend the graduation parade.

36 dead in bus crash in Indian Himalayas
DEHRADUN, India, Nov 4, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - A bus in India plunged into a deep Himalayan ravine on Monday, killing at least 36 passengers and injuring several others, a government official said Monday. Photographs released by government rescue teams showed the crumpled wreckage of the bus in thick undergrowth, with the twisted front of the vehicle squashed nearly flat. Road accidents are common along the many mountainous roads in the Himalayan region, caused mostly by poor maintenance and reckless driving in the tortuous terrain. "So far, 36 casualties have been confirmed," Deepak Rawat, a senior official from the northern state of Uttarakhand told reporters. Hundreds of people die in road accidents in India every year.
