NANCY FELTHOUSEN RIDENOUR- SECOND CAREER AS A PHOTOGRAPHER
About Carlos Neiderhauser and his unique home
To some old-timers, the block building on Princess Street in Shepherdstown is the bus garage. Indeed, from a distance, that’s what the squat building looks like. But close up, glimpses of Christmas lights strung along the ceiling inside and cherub sculptures by the front door reveal the vision of one man who saw the real potential of the building—who saw beauty in debris. Carlos Niederhauser definitely has “the vision thing.”...
Sculptor Joel Perlman
In his studio at 250 West Broadway, NY, NY
Interview by Peter Baton
Sculptors cannot live in an ivory tower. They have to deal with architects, engineers, truckers, crane operators, builders of foundations and bases. The need to relate to all these outside specialists forces sculptors to keep there feet firmly on the ground...
OF LATE I THINK
OF MUSIC IN THE IVY ROOM
By Ken Schneider
In reading my good friend Steve Appell’s article on music during our years on the Hill, I was transplanted back to my afternoons in the Ivy Room. If I had time in the late afternoon, after classes, I would head there for a break - maybe enjoy a snack while I scanned a Cornell Daily Sun that had been discarded. I so enjoyed listening to the music from the juke box - though I must admit I never put a single coin into it...
IN TIME TO THE MUSIC: FROM DOOWOP TO FOLK ROCK
(A 60s CAMPUS AND NATION IN TRANSITION)
By Stephen E. Appell ’65
As the University’s Centennial Class entered in September 1961, the campus was rather placid, with most students interested in careers and traditional attachments to alma mater. The typical male student sported a crew-cut, a crewneck sweater, a button-down shirt, a pair of slacks, and loafers. The Cornell female was likely to wear her hair medium-length with a “flip,” and to be attired in a sweater, plaid skirt, knee socks, and loafers...
-ABOUT JOEL STROM-
FROM EP TO MD AND BACK AGAIN
Joel Strom’s career looks like an interesting example of multitasking, parallel processing, and perhaps a sociological interpretation of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. (EP and physics majors should relax since this is supposed to be humorous.) A quick review of his resume reveals that he’s had 15 academic appointments, 27 medical school and hospital appointments, 3 board certifications, 4 medical licensure...
Looking Back… and Ahead to Cornell Hoops—Revisited
When a Cornellian thinks about varsity sports at our University, thoughts almost invariably turn to ice hockey, football, crew, lacrosse, and perhaps wrestling. A better-kept secret is the tradition of Big Red basketball. If one loves Cornell as we do, and if we are basketball fans generally, then what better synthesis than --...
The Making of a Geophysicist-From EE 4411 in Phillips Hall to the Ice Sheets of Antarctica
- By Steve Arcone
I was never bitten hard by the science bug at Cornell until my first term senior year (1964) when I took Quantum Mechanics with George Wolga and Electrodynamics with Ralph Bolgiano, and heard Feynman’s Messenger Lecture series on the nature of Physical Law at Cornell.
-EASY RIDERS- EASY SURFERS-THE EXCELLENT ADVENTURES OF DAN STERN AND RON SCHENDEL
BY ANDREW SCHNEIDER
I have always enjoyed listening to my father’s stories about his days as a student at Cornell. Whenever I hit a rough patch during my own academic career or wrestled with the prospect of applying to Ph.D. programs, my dad has always been ready with an anecdote from his own days in Ithaca...
MEMORIES OF A WONDERFUL BIG RED GRIDIRON ERA
By Stephen E. Appell
As Thanksgiving 2007 came and invited pleasant memories of yesteryear, this Cornell sports lover thought of the traditional Cornell-Penn football game held on the holiday. That in turn reminded me that it was during the...
Jill Cornell Tarter
Jill (Cornell) Tarter was one of two women who enrolled in the engineering program back in the fall of 1961. She was one of the last to ever graduate with the five-year “professional” Bachelors of Engineering Physics degree...

Steve Levanthal Cornellian of 1000 Faces
To describe classmate Steve Leventhal, Washington D.C. raised, and still located there, calls for many scenes, as do most plays. Steve spent a year at Yale Drama School from 1966-67 (after receiving his Cornell Civil Engineering degree) studying "theater engineering,"...
