The Importance of CFC to Campus Arts
Second only to Slope Day in attendance, the CFC show featured the unique work of 42 floor designers, with looks ranging from well-tailored streetwear to impressively abstract avant-garde pieces. This show was a feat of logistical prowess, as an entirely student-led organization transformed the space into one for fashion students to truly showcase their skills. The first showcase, “Greyscale,” was developed by the collective’s level one designers, using a lack of color to place a greater emphasis on the construction of the pieces themselves. CFC’s 42nd annual runway show concluded on Saturday evening as more than a campus event; it is a testament to the creative prowess and strength of those pursuing the arts at Cornell.

Video Killed the Radio Star
The advent of music streaming has long caused the decline of physical media, such as vinyls and CDs, and radio is experiencing a similar phenomenon. For a while, radio still had something going for it: It was an expected feature embedded in most cars. Now, Apple Carplay and other forms of Bluetooth listening have taken over, and many cars are being built without radio capabilities entirely, meaning radio is at an all-time listening low. Radio, which is something people can’t physically show off, doesn’t have the same overt social benefits as collectible media. In the past, before the advent of cell phones, college radio stations were a powerful center for student protest, voice and thought.

Shoes hurled at Razakar, Pakistani army caricatures in symbolic savar protest
A group of students has marked Independence Day with a rare event in Savar, inviting the public to express their hatred for 1971 war criminals and the Pakistani military by hurling shoes at their caricatures. The symbolic protest, held outside the National Memorial premises, featured a banner fastened to a roadside bus depicting the faces of those involved in the 1971 genocide, including high-ranking Pakistani army officials. “From Yahya Khan to Munir [the current Pakistani army chief], every general has followed the same path,” said one organiser. This isn’t just about individual moral failure, it is the state policy of the Pakistani military institution,” he added.
