Cornell Cinema began a film and discussion series titled 'Toward Peace, Justice & Un derstanding: Films for Reflection" to address issues related to Sept. 11. Mary Fessenden, director of Cornell Cin ema, said the series came together gradually. "It seemed that it would be useful to process what ir; going on and to explore the issues through films," Fessenden said. "By having a professor lead a discussion afterwards, the viev.ers can have more background informa tion with which they can formulate intelligent opinions." The first film in the series was "Jun~ {War): In the Land of the Mujaheddin," in which a group of Italian surgeons attempt to construct a hospital in war-torn Afghanistan while being interrupted by skirmishes be tween the Taliban and mujaheddin. Senior Jesse Crane-Seeber said he was sur prised by the actual message the film seemed to convey. "The film showed the patronizing attitude and superiority complex of the Euro peans," he said. "[The Europeans] hired Afghans to do janitorial work and then treat ed them poorly. Jhey are completely unfa miliar with the people that they are trying to help. The filmmakers said more than they meant to say." The picture of racism in "Jung" was fur ther explored by the Nov. 14 screenmg of "Pay ing the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq." It showed the effects of 10 years of U.N. sanctions on the people of Iraq. Kadyr Toktogulov, an exchange student JOE PASTERIS/THE ITHACAN CECILIA ROSSEL BUYS a ticket from Cornell Junior Jason Goldman at the Willard Straight Hall for a show on Saturday, Dec. 1.

"I wanted to get over the 300 tackles for a career barrier," McDonough said. "[I] came a little short of that, but I know as a captain, , I think I definitely achieved what I wanted to as far as the defense and how well the de fense performed this year." Despite not reaching the 300-tackle plateau, the senior sport management major made plays when it counted. McDonough 's efforts forced opposing teams to wony about him, something that verified his teammates' observations of his stellar cart!er. "With being hurt and everything throughout the playoffs, I had a great chance to really watch him," Melville said. "He got me all fired up, his play and what he does about making plays, you need a big sack or knock a ball down or pick a ball off, and he's always there to do it in the clutch." In perhaps the Bombers' biggest four games of this season, McDonough took cen ter stage each time. In the Cortaca Jug game, he netted 16 tackles in Ithaca's 21-14 win over the Red Dragons. Against Ithaca's first two playoff opponents, Raymond said Mc Donough played amazingly well. "Montclair and RPI, I asked him to cov-. er a wide receiver all day, and that's what he did." Raymond said. "He was a linebacker used to taking out fullbacks and linemen and tackling running backs all year. We asked him to cover a wide receiver, and I think they had maybe three or four catches on him, total." In the Bombers season-ending loss to Ro-.yan, McDonough recorded a game-high 11 tackles while defending against one of the best offenses in the country. With that Joss, McDonough 's incredible career came to a KRISTIN SAMPIERE/THE ITHACAN close.
