Local News for Cornell University

Longtime Cornell Zamboni driver accepts early retirement

Over Dave Nulle’s three decade career working for the Cornell University, he became a staple of the Lynah Rink experience. Hockey players and skaters — not to mention fans — inextricably linked Nulle with the zamboni he drove and the costumes he wore, even giving him the affectionate nickname “Zamboni Dave.”

Column: Time management is tough, but students should stop whining

The expectation to have successful time management during college is truly a remarkable thing. For some reason, people expect you to be able to take on a ridiculous amount of things and be able to pull it all off. A challenging course load, extracurricular activities that demand at least five times the time they would have taken you in high school, paying your bills, doing your laundry (and the dishes!), doing homework, keeping fit, eating healthy, having a job (or five), having a relationship, and not going nuts. Well, people really do not require you to not go nuts. That’s just a personal preference. read more
