Is the Pioneer Cafe too hot to handle?

The number of students and staff who usually eat inside the Pioneer Pub is slightly decreasing due to its hot tem-perature. Many college students and faculty members are complaining about the heat inside the Pioneer Pub. Some students and staff members cannot stand the amount of heat gener-

ated inside the pub and they would rath-er take out their order than eat inside the pub. Senior Kevin Murphy thinks the hot temperature is an issue that keeps peo-ple from eating in the pub.“I ate here one time only,” Murphy said. “This place would be nice if it was cool-er. Then more people would be here.”Senior Thomas Owens said that it is usu-

UC to offer an on-campus MBA program in fall 2013

Utica College School of Business and Justice Studies will launch an on-campus MBA program in professional accountancy in fall 2013. The professional accountancy pro-gram is designed to help business stu-dents to have enough credit hours in accounting, business and general busi-ness to sit for their CPA (Certified Public Accountant) test. In order to sit for the CPA test, students are required to have taken 150 credit hours. This particular program prepares students to sit for the CPA test, so it is a very professional de-gree, very sought-after and extremely marketable. Professor Zhaodan Huang, director of the MBA program, said this new on-campus MBA program will encourage more students to sign up for it. “It seems like most of the undergrad-uate accounting students don’t want to have the online program and they don’t want to sign up for that program,” Huang said. “After years of trying, we decided to provide the MBA professional accoun-tancy program for students on campus.”This program focuses on providing a mixture of accounting, business envi-ronment, cooperate finance, economics

and strategic management knowledge so students can prepare better to suit themselves for the future jobs. The program is not designed only for professional accountancy students. Students who are not doing accounting major and are interested in registering for this program can register for the pro-gram as well. All they need to do is finish some accounting pre-requisite courses so that they are able to catch up with the material in the program. The MBA program will be provided for students on campus and the website will be done by the end of the month. When the website is up and running, students can download, fill in the appli-cation form and start registering for the program in October or November. However, UC undergraduate stu-dents are automatically considered for the program if their GPA is satisfied. Students will need to have an average of 3.0 GPA, have completed all the ac-counting pre-requisite courses or have a GMAT score. The program runs for two semesters and students are required to take 15 credits each semester. “One thing is, we wish to use this program in order to increase the at-tractiveness and competitiveness of the accounting undergraduate program

Student Senate President Hashem Al-Hadid announced 28 new senators for the 2012-2013 academic year. The study body cast 338 votes this year, an increase from 90 votes in 2010, the last time elections were held.

Al-Hadid said he is very satisfied with the results of the elections and was surprised to see that the candidates had received so many results. “I didn’t expect that we were going to have that much participation,” Al-Hadid said. “This year exceeded expectations... I saw some [candidates] giving speeches to people to try to convince them to vote for them. They have the passion. I feel

that is a democracy and that is what we want. An April 2012 issue of The Tangerine ran an article called “Senate elections trigger confusion” that reported that the voting tables had been removed from the entrance of the Dining Commons

Syracuse University will host a career fair to inform students about employment opportuni-ties on Oct. 3. All UC students are invited to attend the career fair to learn more about employment oppor-tunities out there and to talk to professionals in different fields. Shuttle services will be provided to bring students back and forth. The shuttles will depart from the Strebel Student Center promptly at 11:45 a.m. and return from SU at 4:00 p.m. Halina Lotyczewski, interim director of Career Services, said that the career fair at SU last year had a very good turnout.“The turnout for last year’s ca-reer fair reached the 1000s and was very successful,” Lotycze-wski said. The large turnout could be credited to the many different recruitment teams that ap-peared at the fair. The groups at this year’s career fair touch upon a variety of occupational fields. Companies like Accen-ture Inc., Amazon.com, Bloom-berg, Chobani, Maryland State Highway Administration, Peace Corps, PricewaterhouseCoo-pers, Oswego Health and many others will be present. There will be a total of 130 institutions at the fair. Lotyczewski encourages all stu-dents to go because it is a great opportunity.“Everything will be here; it is a good mix,” Lotyczewski said. “[Students should] take advan-tage of every opportunity avail-able.” As of print time, there were only three spots left for students to sign up. If a student is interested in going to this event, all they have to do is to stop by the Career Services office anytime from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. between now and Tuesday, Oct. 2. The spaces will remain open until they are completely filled, so the office is following the “first come, first serve” rule. Students are expected to dress profes-sionally and go with their résu-més ready. For those who do not have a résumé yet, Career Services can help students with creating one. For more information about the career fair, students can stop by the Office of Career Ser-vices or visit https://syr-csm.symplicity.com/events/stu-dents.php?mode=list&cf=fall12 to see the list of organizations that will be there.

Many of you know him as the guy on crutches. Others may know him as a party ani-mal. Still, others may know him only as the kid who wrote the funny Daysheet ad. But to those who are fortunate enough to know him well, he is Kevin DeSa, class clown and future improv star. DeSa is a sophomore at Utica College who loves to have a good time. He is undecided in his major because he is still figuring out what path to take in his life. “I don’t know what I want to do yet,” DeSa said. “I hope my adviser can figure it out.”While he is unsure of what di-rection his life is going in, DeSa is quite confident in himself and his abilities. “I’m funny,” DeSa said. “I know how to entertain people.” DeSa’s sense of humor is clear in his Daysheet ad for his

upcoming improvisation group. He wrote, “Greetings young knights. Many of you may know me as the kid on crutches, others may know me as the man of girth. My parents know me as Kevin DeSa. I am a sophomore and I’m starting an improv group here at Utica College…I also had hickory ham this morning for breakfast. If you are outgoing, enthusiastic and funny, then this the perfect activity for you…I also enjoy long walks on the beach.” DeSa never dabbled in the entertainment arts in high school, but took the Elements of Acting class last fall on a whim. The course sparked his interest in acting and persuad-ed DeSa to take Introduction to Theater in the spring semester. It was in this class where DeSa first participated in improvisa-tion activities. Improvisation, or improv, is a form of acting that is totally unrehearsed. The actors create their characters and dialogue on the spot, where the results are sometimes hilarious and

unpredictable. Sometimes an actor is given a scenario, set-ting or plot to create the scene, but other times, the actor has the freedom to do whatever they feel is right for that mo-ment. Many people find improv acting to be the most liberating and creative form of perform-ing. DeSa said improvisation activities that he and his class participated in had a strong ef-fect on him. “My instructor, Laura Salvaggio, introduced me to im-prov,” said DeSa. “I decided to start an improv group because I’m interested in it.” DeSa has no definite plans yet for the group, but sees it as a way for students to relax and have fun in a social setting. “I’m just going to go with the vibes of the people.” said DeSa. “I’m going to feed off their en-ergy, see what they’re feeling, and say, ‘What do you want to do today?’ and go with it.” DeSa said the improv group is going to be very casual in its membership. “People can come and go as

they want,” he said. “There’s no commitment.” So far, approximately twenty people have contacted DeSa about joining the group. The amount of members that DeSa would like in this group is unlim-ited. “The sky’s the limit,” he said. Students who have stage fright can be a part of the group as well by being supportive audience members. “If people want to watch us perform and the actors are comfortable with it, that’s cool,” said DeSa. “Whoever wants to go and watch can watch.”The group is still in the process of becoming an organization on campus. However, DeSa wants to begin as soon as possible and hopes to be ready to go by spring semester. Any students who may be interested in the group can contact DeSa on his cell phone (617-785-8330) or by email ([email protected]).

ally hot in the Pub. “I usually eat here twice a week,” Owens said. “The Pio-neer Pub is generally hot and it definitely gets hot when it is packed and crowded.” The people who work inside the Pioneer Pub have strong com-plaints about the heat. Lou LaBella, who works at Subway, also thinks that the hot temper-

atures are a big issue. “There should at least be one fan to suck up all the hot air,” Labella said. “It’s always hot in here, but it’s not that much of a

big issue towards our business. As long as the food keeps cool then it is not a big problem.” Most students and staff members think that the hot tem-perature is a big issue while oth-er students and staff members think that it is not. Most of them do not even know about the hot temperatures inside the Pioneer Pub. Despite the heat, there are

still a few students who are eat-ing inside. Damian Boehlert, UC Food Ser-vice director, thinks the Pub’s hot temperature is not a big problem and he was unaware of the complaints from the stu-dents and staff members. “It is always hot inside the Pio-neer Pub,” Boehlert said. “There is never any air conditioning or air flow, but we currently have ceiling fans to keep the place cool. The main cause was the new power source, which was just installed in the back of the

Pub. Due to the new power source, we do not have enough power to put any air condition-ing, but we do plan on getting air conditioning at some point.” The pub’s hot temperature has some effect on Boehlert’s busi-ness. “College students are taking out their orders more and they are not eating inside the Pub,” Boehlert said. “We are adjusting the issue and we plan on mak-ing this place cooler.”

Pulliam honored with prestigious Crisafulli Award

Dr. Curtis Pulliam, associate profes-sor of chemistry and chair of the chem-istry department at Utica College, walked the stage on May 13, 2012 to receive the Dr. Virgil Crisafulli Distinguished Teaching Award at Utica College’s 63rd Undergrad-uate Commencement Ceremony held at the Utica Memorial Auditorium. The Crisafulli Award is considered UC’s finest tribute to a faculty member. Colleagues and students nominate fac-ulty members and a selection committee makes the final decision. Winners are chosen based on demonstrated teaching excellence over a minimum of five years. Pulliam is the 38th faculty member to receive the award since its institution in 1974. UC does not inform faculty members who won in advance, so Pulliam did not know he won the award until Provost Judy Kirkpatrick introduced and presented him the award. “I was very honored and humbled,” Pulliam said. “The list of previous win-ners is a real ‘Who’s Who?’ at UC.”Although humble, Pulliam believes his teaching style is part of the reasons that he won the Crisafulli award. “I think I work real hard at trying to convince people that chemistry is under-standable and relevant,” Pulliam said. “I try to show my students how I learned it and the process that I go through in thinking about chemistry… doing chemis-try and doing the kinds of problems that we ask our students to do in our chemis-try courses. “I also want students to see how chemists work and that often involves the use of instrumentation,” Pulliam said. “We involve our students and expose our

students to sophisticated instrumenta-tion.” Pulliam also believes his recognition stems from introducing those instru-ments into earlier courses in the depart-ment. Pulliam credits his recognition to the faculty he joined when he arrived at UC. “I came here 25 years ago and the reason I came to UC [was] I saw the peo-ple I was going to join were passionate about what they teach [and] were excel-lent teachers,” Pulliam said. “In fact, two of three chemists that were in the depart-ment when I came here won the award previously. They’ve since retired, but I knew UC was a place where I can learn from them and become the best teacher I could.” Pulliam earned his Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from the University of Wiscon-sin at Madison with a minor in analytical chemistry. He is a member of the Ameri-can Chemical Society and Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society.

Crist receives 2012Harold T. Clark Jr. Award

Dr. Thomas Crist, professor of physi-cal therapy at Utica College, won the Har-old T. Clark Jr. Award for Distinguished Scholarship and Professional Accom-plishment. According to the Utica College website, the award is given annually to the professor who exemplifies the high-est traditions of scholarship. Dr. Dale Scalise-Smith, special assis-tant to President Todd Hutton, told Crist to put his cap on because his picture was about to get taken. Crist did not realize what Scalise-Smith meant at first. As the introduction to the Clark award continued, Crist heard enough hints to realize he was the winner. When Crist learned he was the recipient while sitting with the rest of the faculty at this year’s Convocation, his colleagues noticed.“I was very happy and overwhelmed,” Crist said. “I was hyperventilating and Professor [David] Chanatry was sit-ting next to me. He told me, ‘you gotta breathe, you gotta breathe.’ I was so overwhelmed and I got teary-eyed.” Crist admitted that he, Scalise-Smith and Chanatry sat close together by coinci-dence. There was no assigned seating of any sort. “I have a lot of respect for my col-leagues, so when I was chosen it was overwhelming,” Crist said. “It was appro-priate that two of my closest colleagues were right there next to me in that mo-ment.” Scalise-Smith knew Crist and his wife, Dr. Molly Crist, associate professor of physical therapy, from their days at Temple University in Philadelphia, Penn. Scalise-Smith recruited Crist and his wife to join the Utica College faculty. Chanatry’s interest in Crist’s work led to traveling with him and John Johnsen,

dean of the School of Arts & Sciences, to Albania a couple of times. Crist and a group of students examined skeletal remains in Albania. Chanatry ended up producing several journalism pieces that brought attention to Crist’s work over-seas. “We got to an archaeological site that was once an Ancient Greek and Roman city called Butrint,” Crist said. “Students and I analyze skeletal remains that were excavated. “I do work here as well,” Crist said. “Skeletons get sent to me from police, historic period cemetery remains and Native American burials accidentally dis-covered during excavation projects in the anthropology laboratory with students.”Crist and his students perform osteobi-ographies, which is an examination of a person’s life through their skeleton. Some examples of what Crist looks for include age of death, sex, cause of death and evidence of disease and other kinds of trauma. For more information, visit utica.edu/butrint.

Students at Utica College, no matter their major or political beliefs, should and can find ways to be engaged in political discussions on campus. Although not every professor is able to incor-porate current events and political conversation into their class time, there are still ways students can learn about the political process. According to Associ-ate Professor of govern-ment Luke Perry, there are almost always ways to draw parallels between class material and current events. “Current events relates to a number of different fields in a variety of differ-ent ways,” Perry said. “I think reading the newspa-per daily is, I know a time constraint for students, but a very important part of becoming an informed

citizen…I know other dis-ciplines require The New York Times [to be read], so I think being more informed, generally, and reading the newspaper, generally…all can relate to a lot of disciplines and fit into a lot of people’s class-rooms.” Perry noted that he does not want to sug-gest to any professor of any major how he or she should be spending their class time. But he does reiterate the fact that there is always room for students to learn outside of the classroom.Utica College students can participate in the meet-ings and forums held by the Sherman Society. The Sherman Society is a non-partisan organization on campus that meets to dis-cuss politics and govern-ment on a national level, with individual opinions of students inclusive to the conversation as well. Perry, who is also the

advisor for the Sherman Society, encourages students to stop by on Wednesdays when the Society meets. “Each session, we spend some time talking about current events and give students the opportu-nity to discuss what’s go-ing on in the country and the world today,” Perry said. No matter what method students use to get involved, whether it’s reading the news, attend-ing meetings or taking government classes, it’s crucial to take an interest in some form. Professor of History David Wittner agrees stu-dents need to pay atten-tion to politics. “Your major is irrel-evant; you’re an American citizen,” Wittner said. “It is part of your duty as a citizen to be informed about what’s going on in this country and to vote.”

Work-study students can now apply online

Starting fall 2012, the Of-fice of Student Employment has changed their job application to an online system, in an attempt to make it more convenient for students. Instead of lining up and wait-ing in front of the White Hall 250 to talk to the employment coor-dinator and apply for a work-study, students can now apply for a job with just a few clicks anywhere, anytime - as long as there is Internet access. “All summer, my work-study students and myself worked on getting job description posted on the application portal so that students can view the job de-scription and apply for the posi-tion,” Rebecca Sullivan, Student Employment coordinator, said. “It used to be they had to come to see me and I would suggest a place for them to ap-ply. Now students can apply wherever there’s an opening.” However, students who have never worked before still have to go to the Student Employment office to finish the paperwork af-ter they get approved from their supervisors for a position.

Sullivan said that the online ap-plication system also gives stu-dent the experience of applying for a job on the Internet because in the real world, people have turned to the Internet and email communications for submitting resumes and applying for jobs. Junior Shaquille Barnes, a tutor at the Math and Science center and a teaching assistant, feels that the online application makes things a lot easier for

him and the office. “It’s easier and more con-venient,” Barnes said. “I didn’t have to fill out any paperwork again.” Freshman Candice Minor, a work-study in the library, also feels that way.“I think it’s a good thing to do,” Minor said. “It’s fast and conve-nient.” The only drawback from the online system is that students

do not need to sit down and talk with the employment coordina-tor on which work-study they should take so that it will be rel-evant to their majors and give them some sort of experience. It is also noticeable in the application process that there are different application dates for different students. It is the federal law that students with federal aids get to apply first, followed by payroll students and

international students respec-tively. “It’s a federal mandate that we have to give American stu-dents an opportunity to apply first,” Sullivan said. “We can’t have international students take the jobs away from Ameri-can citizens.” Besides the change in the job application process, every-thing else including payroll and timesheets still remains the same. However, different de-partments might have slightly different procedures and poli-cies in the timesheet submis-sion. The library, for example, requires the students who work in there to clock in when they come to work and clock out when they leave to keep track of who is on duty at what time. Students are still required to fill in and submit the timesheet as usual. With the online application system, positions in each de-partment filled up pretty fast too. However, there are still some positions available if stu-dents need a work-study to sup-port themselves financially. Stu-dent employment opportunities can be found online at https://www.utica.edu/hr/studentem-ployment/jobs.cfm?.

because if we only offer four years, students will not be qualified for the CPA test,” Huang said. An MBA program such as this is important because accounting has become very complicated over the last several decades. With all of the economics and financial issues that are happening, accounting is really helpful in controlling cash flow in an organization. Professor David Kiner, executive director of business and econom-ics, shows optimism in the launch of the program.“I think it’s going to be highly suc-cessful,” Kiner said. “One of the reasons for that is that the state of New York now requires that stu-dents receive 150 credit hours to be able to get an accounting degree today. We developed a coordinative program that students get a gradu-ated program along the way, so it’s not just five years of undergraduate, it’s actually four years of undergrad-uate and then [one year of] gradu-ate courses to complete the 150 credit hours [required] so it’s highly

marketable and attractive to stu-dents and the parents.” This program is also reaching out to the University of China be-cause it is a major international market for CPA since it is known

internationally, so it’s highly de-manding regardless. “We are very prepared for this program,” Kiner said. “The only thing that we’re not ready for this moment is how we are going to communicate the program, but in term of the actual courses, the fac-ulty and physical facility, we’re all set.” Senior Britton Tarris, a business management major, thinks that UC is doing the right thing to have an on-campus program and he would consider doing it after he gradu-ates. “From what I knew, the MBA program at UC was only offered on-line for a specific concentration,” Tarris said. “I think there are sev-eral things that students are going to want to consider when trying to obtain their MBA. I do think UC is moving in the right direction if the school does decide to hold classes on campus.”

because it gave residential students an unfair advantage over students who commute and may not eat on campus. “There was discussion whether or not we wanted to have tables set up with laptops… by [the Dining Com-mons,]” then-Student Senate adviser Paul Lehmann said. “There was a feeling that that gave some candidates, particularly residential can-didates, a huge advantage. If I’ve got a table in front of the Dining Commons and two or three times a day, every day, every residential student walks past me and I say, ‘Come vote! Come vote! Come vote!’ [This creates an unfair advantage.] Yes, I can put a table up over in Hubbard [Hall] and Addison Miller White [Hall]. It will have nowhere near the same impact.” This year, some candi-dates used typical campaign-ing strategies as in years prior: fliers and speeches. Some, however, fled to populated areas on campus with their laptops logged into the voting website, request-ing votes. If students wanted to vote for a candidate, they could vote right then. According to the Article VII, Section 1, G of the Stu-dent Senate Constitution,

“Candidates shall not be allowed to campaign within fifty feet of the voting area,” but it has not been

updated since the ballots have gone electronic. Al-Hadid admits there is a gap in the Constitution regarding what is and is not constitutional when cam-paigning, but said he is ac-tually impressed with the pas-sion of the candidates who are going “the extra step.” “They cannot force stu-dents to vote for them right [then],” Al-Hadid said. “What they’re doing is telling people to vote for them. We have told them they can campaign this way. Years before, there was a machine and candidates were not allowed to be next to this machine and campaign-ing. So this way it is not incor-rect. The Constitution doesn’t say anything about electronic [voting]. There is a gap in the Constitution and it needs to be amended.” Though Al-Hadid ap-proved of this new campaign method, some students, like junior Kasey Mizener, thought it was invasive. “I think I had two people [approach me with their laptop] this year,” Mizener said. “It’s a little invasive. Just because they come up to me and do their little spiel, doesn’t mean they’re the right person for the job or

that I want to vote right now. I usually just give the excuse, ‘I haven’t decided on all the other candidates first, so I’ll just wait.’ It’s a little annoy-ing.” Mizener said she sug-gests students go back to the traditional campaigning strategies. “A lot of [candidates] have put up fliers,” Mizener said. “That’s nice. Or do the speeches–only some [can-didates] went... If you can’t speak in public, how are you supposed to speak in a Student Senate meeting? You can even come up to some-one in Pio or the caf and give your little spiel. Just don’t give them a laptop. It’s also a little annoying, but you don’t feel forced to vote for them.” Out of the 49 total posi-tions in the Student Senate, 16 were not filled and will begin to be appointed soon. Students who are appointed to positions on Senate have a more difficult time than those who get elected by the student body. Often those who apply are students who missed the earlier deadline. Appointed students must turn in an application, inter-view with a board of senators and then they are chosen by Al-Hadid. The first Student Senate meeting will be Wednesday, Oct. 3 where they will intro-duce the senators and review proposals. It is open to the campus community.

Student Senate hosts Academic Integrity assemblyDevin BlakeStaff Writer

What exactly is pla-giarism? The answer to this question can be difficult to define, but most students have a general idea of what it means to plagiarize. Essentially, you are stealing someone else’s work, taking shortcuts and not doing any of the actual work yourself. Utica College’s definition, which can be found on the school’s website, is as follows: “Plagiarism, a serious form of academic dishonesty, is the use of ideas and phrases in the writings of others as one’s own without crediting the source. All materials used or paraphrased must be cited and credited.” All of this falls under the school’s heading of “Academic Integ-rity.” According to school policy, a number of consequences can be faced for plagarism that range from a zero for the assignment to an “F for cheat-ing” in the course, a serious penalty that will remain on the student’s transcript. Alan Goldenbach, assistant professor of journalism, empha-sized his desire for some al-terations in the school’s policy. “In the past decade we have seen an incredible rise in cases of plagiarism,” Goldenbach said. “There are several differ-ent reasons we’ve seen this, including greater access to media and the ease in which we are able to obtain the

information. Another factor is the amount of pressure that is placed on college students today. They are faced with unre-alistic amounts of work.” Goldenbach also suggested that instead of focusing on the penalties for a student caught plagiarizing, the focus should shift towhy they are doing it and offer more pro-active solutions to this growing problem. The question of why stu-dents plagiarise was offered to Utica College students on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at an Aca-demic Integrity assembly held in the concourse of the library. It was attended by about 50 students and a small number of the faculty including R. Scott Smith, associate professor of

psychology, who hosted the event along with members of the Student Senate. Scott admitted that he has become concerned that college has now become about “what you can get away with” rather than how much you are actually learning. He also stressed the fact that more often than not, students are accidently com-mitting partial plagiarism rather than flat out stealing someone else’s work. “I like to look at it like the difference between Grand Theft Auto and petty larceny,” Scott said. Many of the students offered up suggestions to en-courage students who perform exceedingly well academically,

including the introduction of an academic hall of fame. Another suggestion was for instructors to encourage and assist stu-dents who submit a well-written paper in getting that work published. Most agreed with the sentiment of Goldenbach in trying to encourage hard work, honesty and integrity rather than simply looking to punish offenders after the fact. David Wittner, professor of history at Utica College, created a spreadsheet for the Academic Integrity meeting to show the increasing number of not only students being caught, but the increase in cases being reported by instructors. The chart (pictured) has categories from left to right listing number

of reports, number of students charged, faculty reported cas-es, number of F’s for cheating, number of appeals, number of appeals upheld, number of cases reported to academic standards, number of F’s im-posed, and the number of the dismissed. Wittner stressed the fact that instructors don’t enjoy handing out F’s and they are here to help. “This isn’t a case of teacher versus student,” Wittner said. “The way I look at it is: you don’t have to be here, so I am assuming you want to be here. Learn. With the amount of money students are spending on college education, you have to make it worth your while.”

“The Tangerine”

The EditorialBoard

Alexandra CaldasCopy Chief

Who runs the world? Girls Two weeks ago, the Tanger-ine staff and I presented Utica College students with a column that implied the significance of paying attention to the presi-dential election. This week I’m here to share statistics that prove that. The most important take-away from this column has to do with women voters and how engaged they are within the government - which is not enough, according to a recent article published by USA Today College. The article noted that women make up more than 50 percent of the U.S. population. So yes, ladies, we are the majority. The unfortunate part, however, is that we are not represented as such. Within Congress, women comprise only 16 percent of officers- that’s 78 women in the House of Representatives and 17 in the Senate. This means while women make up over half of the nation’s population, they are dramatically underrepre-sented in our government. The point is, women need to be more involved in govern-ment affairs because repre-sentatives should reflect the population. Why? Think about it like this: Congress votes on a number of issues having to do with women’s rights, such as women receiving equal pay, the

right to birth control and having that birth control covered by certain insurance policies, and also having the option of carry-ing a child or not. These topics are subject to heavy debate in both the House and the Senate, yet there are very few women in either establishment to be the voice for females around the county. Ultimately, we’re letting men make these decisions for us. As USA Today put it, “How can a legislative body be truly representative of the popula-tion if more than half the United States is barely present within that body? The unfortunate answer is that it cannot.” College-educated students have the power to change this. That column published two weeks ago was about getting informed. This column serves to tell students how they can use that knowledge to their advantage. We need to stop acting like the decisions made in Congress don’t affect us. Our generation (the 18-25 year old demograph-ic that most traditional college students fall into) makes up a

huge cohort of eligible voters. There are 46 million people eligible to vote between the ages of 18-29, while there are only 39 million senior citizens eligible. This means we have 7 mil-lion more people who can vote in this coming election than our elders. However, we neglect to take advantage of this. In the 2008 presidential election, roughly 50 percent of eligible voters in our demo-graphic voted. Fifty percent? So half of those who could vote, didn’t? Don’t we want a say in our government or should we just let our par-ents inadvertently handle these decisions for us, too? It only makes sense that both men and women our age get educated on politics, even though it may not be the most interesting topic, and then use their newfound awareness to make a difference. Ladies, we are not repre-sented adequately in the leg-islature. It is college-educated women who could eventually take on these roles in govern-ment so the percentage of women in Congress would actu-ally be representative of the percentage we make up in the general population. After all, there’s strength in numbers.

Lifting weights with my mates

I made a promise to my-self before I came here; it was something important, something paramount to my stay here. The U.S. is a place well-known for its fast-food chains and overconsumption of these fatty delicacies. The quote “fattiness is happiness” comes to mind. Partially I came here because I want-ed to grow bigger. My plan has been to hit the gym like a crazy person - four times a week - and my gold meal plan with its all-you-can-eat policy helps me achieve this goal. If I have not emptied at least three plates per meal then I have failed miserably.So where am I going with this? What is the “nega-tive” thing am I going to present to you? In the U.S. I feel puny at the gym. It was Aug. 27 when I be-gan my quest for body-building excellence. I had it all prepared. My former roommate, who is quite the expert in the field and stands at 6-foot-4, 265 pounds, had made a prop-er training program for me to follow. So there I was, taking my first steps towards the Gary M. Kunath Fitness Center. As I entered the gym, closed my eyes and inhaled for the first time the cool air-conditioned yet slightly moist air, I knew I was in the right place. The walls were embedded with testosterone.But as I walked forward, my legs started to tremble, my muscles started to de-tract and the feeling of my whole physical existence felt so puny, all 6-foot-2, 170 pounds of me. What caused this sudden change? The football team was there doing their rou-tine. I had entered at the worst possible time. I felt so out of place. There were

linemen wherever I looked. I seriously considered go-ing back to my room and crying like a little girl. If you are a frequent visitor of gyms, you know there is an unwritten hierarchy. This is the place where our inner animal instincts wake up - a metal jungle of some sort. When you enter a new territory you have to prove to the existing pack that you are a fighter and deserve to be there. There is no talking, only grunting, with the exception of subtle conversation coming from ESPN on the televisions. Fortunately my Finnish pride took over my senses and forced me to stay. But I could just feel the stares from these mountains of flesh laughing at me as I stacked my weights. I kept on fighting and I am now in my fourth week of training, still going strong. I’m still feeling a bit tiny, but I am heading in the right direction. The pack has started to accept me and the people I have fre-quently been seeing in the gym have transformed from beasts to fellow weightlifters. Now every-day when I visit the gym, it just feels like I am lifting weights with my mates.

Do you ever read any of the books you burn?

This year is the 30th an-niversary of Banned Books Week, an awareness campaign created by the American Library Association in 1982 to inform people about censorship. Thursday, Oct. 4 will mark the 21st year that a Banned Books Day event will be held on cam-pus. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. At the event, which takes place in Strebel Lounge, people read excerpts from their favorite banned or challenged books and learn a bit about why they are banned or challenged for removal from classrooms or public libraries. People who come to the event are often surprised to find some of their favorite books were banned or challenged. Did you read Judy Blume books as a kid? She is one of the most challenged authors ever. I’ve heard so many girls come to Banned Books Day saying that “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” helped them cope with the awkwardness that is puberty.

Have you read “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeline L’Engle? It’s been banned and challenged left and right. Let’s not even start with the “Harry Potter” book burnings. Newer books that kids are growing up with now are in the same boat. “The Hunger Games” trilogy was the third most challenged book/series on the ALA’s 10 Most Chal-lenged Titles of 2011 list. Other than people having problems with the violence in the book, it was cited as being anti-ethnic, anti-family, insensitive and offensive. Some people felt it delved into the occult or was satanic. If it’s not happening in your library, it’s probably not some-thing you would think about. That’s why this event means so much to me. When I went to my first Banned Books Day at UC my freshman year, I learned that my favorite book, “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, is one that is constantly on the ALA’s Most Challenged list. It was assigned to me in high school, as were a number of other banned books like

“The Catcher in the Rye,” “To Kill A Mockingbird,” “The Great Gatsby” and “Animal Farm.” I had no idea. These were all books that I enjoyed reading. After that, I worked with Kim Landon, a now-retired journal-ism professor, to help label her collection of banned books with information about when, where and why they were challenged. Books that introduce people to new ideas and different ways of thinking are constantly being pulled from classrooms, and that is unfortunate. Books can act as a com-panion in confusing times such as the case of “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.” They can bring you to a dif-ferent world such as the case of “A Wrinkle in Time.” Whatever books do for you, it is important to know that for various reasons, some people do not get to read them. If you want to come see the strangest book banning case, come find the book of “Where’s Waldo?” puzzles in Strebel. It will literally take you a while to figure out why it was banned.

I have a problem when it comes to doing my homework. I’m a junior and it’s time for me to really start concentrating and stop messing around and partying all the time. But every time I hear that my friends are going out, I want to, too. I know that I should stay in and study most nights, but I have this weird phobia that I’m going to miss out on something if I stay in. I want to succeed and I know that especially with my health studies major it’s important that I take my schoolwork seriously, but I can’t focus. When I was a fresh-man I didn’t know what to make of college. I went out probably every other night and my grades suffered because it. I was able to keep above a 2.0 both semesters, but I know I could have done better. Then when I was a sophomore, and my circle of friends got bigger, it became even harder to say no. If one friend wasn’t going to a party, another one was. I always had an

excuse to not do my homework and hang out with my friends instead. By my second semester sophomore year, I was put on academic proba-tion- my parents flipped out. Now, here I am in my junior year trying to get back on track. I think that if I apply myself I should do fine, but it’s forcing myself to stay in or go to the library that is the prob-lem; especially when I know there are so many other things I could be doing. But if I don’t get it together, then there’s a good possibility I won’t be back at Utica College in the spring. That would suck. I like it here and really like hanging out with my friends, clearly too much, so I don’t want to leave. But I need some help taking my classes and assignments seriously. What can I do to get my work done, but still have fun? Sincerely, About-to-flunk

This sounds to me like a classic case of FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out. You’re not the first or the last student to be affected by the phobia. The truth is, you need to do your work before anything else, including partying. I understand how you feel - I love going out, too - and a lot of times it’s hard for me to tell my friends no. But you have to learn to do it and stop thinking about what it is you could possibly be missing out on, because chances are it’s nothing that crazy. I don’t blame your parents for being annoyed that you’re on academic pro-bation- this is not a cheap education we get here. You should be taking ad-vantage of the professors and classes at UC instead of wasting money on credits only for it to be negated by all the partying you do with your friends. And I don’t mean for that to sound harsh, but I’m trying to be honest. This is how I manage my assign-ments with my partying; try using this method and see if it helps: Sunday eve-ning through Thursday evening, I’m in

school mode. I do my work throughout the day, sometimes in the library some-times in my room, but it depends on how much I have to get done. If I want to be left alone, it’s the library. I stay organized so I always know when an assignment is due. Planning ahead is crucial in college. Once Thursday night comes around, if there’s something going on that I want to do and I have the majority of my work done, I go do it. Then, Friday through Sunday (with the exception of going to class on Fridays) I don’t open a single book. That’s when I go out. Once Sunday is back, school mode sets in again. This seems to work for me, as long as I know that at some point on Sun-day I need to crack open a book. It’s about finding balance, which you can definitely do if you try. Hope this gives you some insight. Best of luck, Danielle

Code of Conduct: Failure to be fair

I’m not a fan of the Utica College Code of Student Con-duct, especially the revised and updated version. I cannot say I know specifically what has been added or changed and I realize a lot of the pillars within the code have been in place for a while. The longstanding ones are those regarding underage drinking or harassment, which are usually violations that draw the most attention. I’m not here to critique either of those, at least not directly, because I understand there are legal con-sequences to violating these laws outside of Utica College campus and it is the duty of those on the conduct board to hold students responsible for discrepancies on campus. Although I may not be a fan of the Student Code of Conduct, that does not mean I think all the rules are unfair. I’m sure any college student who has been written up could attest to the fact that it’s not fun. And going though the conduct process can really be a pain in the ass. I’m not naming names, but there are quite a number of students who think the conduct system is far too critical and too harsh, but I suppose that’s not for me to say. Nonetheless, guidelines to

student behavior are neces-sary. What I will say is that the “Failure to comply/failure to act” clause, which is number 10 in the code, is ridiculous. I’m assuming that many stu-dents are not familiar with the Student Code of Conduct, so let me cite a specific example of what Utica College would cat-egorize as misconduct within the “failure to comply” section: “Being present when a violation of the Code of Student Conduct or Residence Hall agreement is occurring, and failing to leave and notify campus authorities that there is a violation(s) tak-ing place.” In layman’s terms, if your roommate or friends are in the vicinity of you and are engaging in activities the college would deem a violation and you don’t tattle on them, then you’re in trouble too.I’m interpreting this as Utica College encouraging me to snitch on my friends. Why would I do that? Sure, maybe if it was a group of students I didn’t know I would say something. But, in most scenarios, that is not the case. And even if it were, I would have to feel extremely uncomfortable to report them. To me, this clause seems unfair. I feel I am being given the ultimatum to rat out my friends or take the heat with them- neither being a favorable

option. I think that it would make more sense to enforce a rule that states any student wit-nessing a violation take place may be subject to questioning, but not disciplinary action. But “failing to act?” No student wants to feel forced into tak-ing action and I doubt anyone does. Just to put it in perspec-tive, here’s an example. I’m doing homework in my room when my roommate and her friend walk in with a case of beer. They start drinking the beer on her bed, laughing and minding their own business. They ask if I want some; I say no since I’m preoccupied, but don’t mind them drinking in the room. For whatever reason our resident assistant finds out my roommate and her friend were drinking and now they’re in trouble. Oh, but wait- I’m in trouble, too, since I sat there and did my homework without caring enough to go tell my RA what was going on. There are numerous other scenarios where the “failure to comply” act may be enforced; my point is that it shouldn’t even exist. I do agree that the Code of Student Conduct needs to be there in order to facilitate a comfortable, safe campus for students. But, I think this article of the Code hurts more than it helps.

For many students here on campus, the 2012 Presi-dential election will be your first opportunity to vote, but the ramifications of the out-come will be felt for much longer. The economic poli-cies of the next administra-tion will have a direct impact on what the job market will look like when you graduate, and while the last four years have not been perfect, it is undeniable that President Obama is taking us in the right direction. The economy continues to grow, with a 2.2 percent increase in the Gross National Product, (the market value of all products and services produced by U.S. residents over the past year) in the face of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. It is important to remem-ber that before Obama took office, the U.S. was losing around 700,000 jobs per month. Since taking office he has added 4.5 million new jobs. While growth has been somewhat anemic – only 96,000 jobs added to the economy in last month’s jobs report – we have seen 28 consecutive months of job growth and more jobs created in four years of Obama’s administration than within the eight years of Bush. This is a direct result of this administra-tion’s policies and can be improved in the next four years by more stimulus in the form of infrastructure spending, extending unem-ployment benefits (which give you more bang for your buck than tax cuts) and by cutting taxes for those businesses that hire in this country instead of overseas. Obama has also un-veiled the “Pay As You Earn” program, which will cap federal student loan payments at 10 percent of income. This is important not only in the obvious

sense that less money spent on student loans is more money that can be spent in the economy, but also offers students more flexibility in which jobs they can take once they graduate. Obama has also offered a provision that will keep interest rates on student loans low, a mea-sure that if not taken up in Congress by July 2013 could see interest rates spike from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. But what proposals has Mitt Romney offered on the economy in general and student loans in particular? The most advice we have gotten is to “shop around” for less expensive schools or “borrow money from your parents” to start a busi-ness. Unless you have been born into a wealthy family, like Romney, this is prob-ably not an option. Romney would like to take us back to the policies that caused the Great Recession in the first place: deregulation of Wall Street, tax cuts for the wealthy and increased mili-tary spending beyond what the Pentagon has asked for. We have seen many years of this “trickle down” ap-proach, and it is clear that it does not work unless you are at the very top. It is no secret why Wall Street and large corporations have had record profits while the middle and lower classes have been squeezed. It is important to view this election not just as, “who do I have to see talking on the news each night for the next four years?” but instead as, “who gives me the best chance to suc-ceed when I have gradu-ated?” Obama offers the best chance for the future success of this country. But don’t take my word for it, do the research - you will find the facts have a very liberal bias.

Read It, Hear It, See It Read it: “ The Best of Me” by Nicho-las Sparks I have been reading Nicho-las Sparks probably since I saw “The Notebook.” Though at times his books can be pre-dictable and instill hope into people who have read his work – “Dear John,” for example – he is able to pull off these realistic romances. In another southern love story, “The Best of Me,” Sparks writes the ‘what ifs’ of love. Very much along the lines of “Pretty in Pink,” the lead-ing female protagonist is from a wealthy southern family who falls in love with the kid from the wrong side of the tracks. Not only is their love forbidden, but also torn apart by each other’s families and college opportu-nities. Fast forward 25 years and the two of them, who have grown into two different people, have to be reunited for a funeral of a childhood friend. Through-out the novel you learn about what each of the characters has gone through to get to this point. Reflect on the past ‘what ifs,’ and what the future has in store for each of them. With his knack of getting you to love

each leading character and his ability to make the tears come, Sparks has written “The Best of Me” to reflect the best of Sparks himself.

Hear it: “Away From the World” by Dave Matthews Band “Away From the World,” the band’s eighth studio album, is nothing short of a journey. Dave is going back to the 90s with his producer Steve Lillywhite, who hasn’t produced an album for Dave in over 10 years. Most

fans that have been following Dave since he started out want-ed him to go back to his roots, and that’s exactly what he did. Dave wouldn’t be Dave with-out his rambling opinion about stuff going on in the world. He hits society issues with beauti-fully sung “Mercy.” In “Gaucho,” Dave instills hope in the next generation with the chorus of: “We gotta do much more than believe if we wanna see the world change.” “Broken Things” is a vintage Dave love song with a violin solo and electric guitar.

This album pays special atten-tion to the use of trumpet and saxophone, which Dave also emphasized on tour this sum-mer and can be found within “Belly Belly.” Dave breaks out a ukulele solo in “Sweet” for half of the song that sounds oh so “sweet” and melodic. Overall, this album is a breath of fresh air for the 21st century with ev-erything auto tuned. Most fans of Dave will be pleased to go back in time. See it: “Moonrise Kingdom” by Wes

Anderson “Moonrise Kingdom,” or ‘Moonlight Camping Trip’ as I af-fectionately call it, was my first Wes Anderson film and I can guarantee it won’t be my last. Not only was it refreshing to see the two leading characters as relatively unknowns but also have a leading supportive cast. A love story set in the 1960s on an island off the coast of New England, “Moonrise Kingdom” is about two troubled pre-teens who run away together and set the island into hysteria in the midst of a hurricane brewing. The movie’s tone is set to Ben-jamin Britten’s “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra.” The set itself gives you a glimpse into these characters’ lives with a dollhouse perspective. Everyone in the film looks impeccably put together at all times and speak almost monotone but matter-of-factly. Throughout the film, you’ll learn of the characters’ quirks and flaws, which make them more different from the perfect doll world that Wes Anderson has set them in. In the end, he roots for this young love that be-lieves the world is against them. “Moonrise Kingdom” is coming out on DVD on Oct. 16.

Gangnam Style goes viral

Jessica FordStaff Writer

Chelsea McGuiganStaff Writer

”

TOP TEN: What attracts you most about theopposite sex?

“ “I think it’s attractive when you go in for a kiss and a guy teases you by pulling away, tugging at your hair or biting your lip.” -Gia Marchesani

Park Jae-Sang, also known as PSY, pronounced like “sigh” and short for his stage name “PSYCHO,” has taken the world by storm with his new music video, “Gangnam Style.” PSY is a South Korean singer, songwriter, model, rap-per, dance musician and record pro-ducer. PSY’s video “Gangnam Style” re-ceived 100 million views on YouTube in 51 days. His music has reached No. 1 on iTunes. Because of the his viral video, PSY has made an appearance in several shows in the U.S. including “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Sat-urday Night Live,” “On Air with Ryan Seacrest,” “NBC Today Live Show” and several more. There are also many Gangnam style flash mobs at many dif-ferent places around the world. “The video climbed to 100 million views in 51 days - faster than Justin Bieber’s “Baby” and Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” Branden Goyette of the New York Daily News said. “PSY became the first Korean artist to be invited to the VMAs since Rain [a South Korean singer and actor] performed in 2005.” The K-Pop (Korean Pop) star, who is considered a little old for the music industry standards at 34, is known in South Korea as a performer who is not afraid to poke fun at himself and make a scene. A lot of people here in the U.S. are wondering what “Gangnam Style” means and what is with those dance moves. Gangnam is a neighborhood in Seoul, South Korea. PSY explains that the song simply describes the life in Gangnam. In the song, PSY describes the kind of guy he is and the kind of girl he wants, painting caricatures of the ostentatious culture of people who hang out in Gangnam. “Gangnam is a wealthy neighbor-hood in the South Korean city of Seoul where young people go to party,” PSY said. “[Gangnam is] noble at the day-time and crazy at the night time. I com-pare ladies to the territory. So - noble at the daytime, going crazy at the night

time - and the lyric says I am the right guy for the lady who is like that.” The repeated verse “oppa Gang-nam style” in the song means that your man has Gangnam style. “Oppa,” which literally means older brother, is an affectionate term girls use to ad-dress older guy friends or a boyfriend in Korean. Here in America, it looks like a guy doing a ridiculous dance. However, there is another message behind the song and video. The video gives us a glimpse into the high value of material-ism in this small town of Gangnam. In Korea, they make fun of women who pay for Ramen and later buy an expensive Starbucks coffee. They are called “doenjangnyeo” or “soybean waste women” for their propensity to crimp on essentials so they can over-spend on conspicuous luxuries. PSY basically created a video that points out how silly South Koreans have been getting caught up in this ex-travagant spending. “Human society is so hollow, and even while filming, I felt pathetic,” PSY said. U.S.-based Korean blogger Jea Kim said that in the beginning, viewers were manipulated by the various scenes in the video. “We think he’s at a beach in the opening shot, but it turns out to be a sandy playground,” Kim said. “He visits a sauna not with big-shot businessmen but with mobsters, and dances not in a nightclub but on a bus of middle-aged tourists.” “The singer manages to turn an activ-ity typically associated with the wealthy (referring to PSY’s horse riding dance) into a hilarious, arm flapping dance move,” Goyette said. So, are we going to expect more from this Boston University and Berk-lee College of Music alumnus? Ac-cording to NPR, he has signed a deal with Justin Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun. The key element to remember when it comes to Gangnam style, according to PSY, is to “dress classy and dance cheesy.”

Be careful what you wish for - you just may get it and regret it. Keep in mind that

everything always looks better when you’re on the outside looking in, but the grass isn’t always greener

on the other side.

Spend your time wisely today, Taurus. Before you know it, it’ll slip right out from under you and leave

your head spinning when it goes. Don’t take the ticking

clock for granted.

Tread lightly and speak slowly, or you’re bound to break someone’s heart or hurt someone’s feelings.

Think before you speak and you’ll be spreading smiles

rather than frowns and tears.

Quit putting off that ever-approaching assignment! No

matter what you say, your middle name is not Procras-tination and you can’t keep claiming that it is. Put the pedal to the metal and get

going!

You’ve been working really hard lately and it will all pay

off, but you need to take some time for yourself and relax. Turn off your brain for just a few hours this week;

you deserve it.

You should really take that chance that you’ve been

avoiding for so long. Life is too short to stay in the shad-ows – you have to step out of your comfort zone from

time to time!

When an opportunity knocks on your door this week, don’t pass it up! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for you to make a positive change in

your life. Take it and run with it.

Even though it may not seem like the right thing to do, fol-low your heart. Sometimes

small wonders hide in shady packages, then blossom into something beautiful. You’ll

thank yourself later.

You know that problem of yours that hangs

over your head like a black cloud? It’s no longer invisible. You need to take charge and fix it before it

becomes even worse; stop swimming in denial.

Money, schmoney. You’re struggling now but

you’ll be just fine later. Though it’s hard to see, your current financial

situation will be a lesson learned in the future.

Hang tight.

Don’t let others bring you down. Keep your head

high, give your advice and move along – Nega-

tive Nancy will get over it and you should, too. Get

your mind off of it and into your books.

Take a breath. You’re feeling overwhelmed and anxious, but if you take a step back and look at the big picture, you’ll see all that you’ve been missing while you were busy being

busy.

Football gets set to take on Ithaca

It was a productive week of practice for the Utica College football team last week. After a tough loss to No. 14 Ho-bart, the team went right back to work in a bye week to begin preparations for their Empire 8 opener against Ithaca. Head coach Blaise Faggiano made a number of alterations to his practice schedule during the bye week. After a shortened Monday practice, he can-celled practice on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Although Faggiano gave his team plenty of rest last week, he felt that his staff was able to use that time produc-tively. “I think it was a good time after our non-conference schedule to go back and look at our tendencies,” Faggiano said. “Our staff took advantage of that time to see our strengths and weaknesses.” In addition, Faggiano said that the rest time was much needed to help his players remain healthy as they enter conference play. The Pioneers have been extremely fortunate when it comes to injury prevention, as they have yet to lose any of their starters to a significant injury this season. As the Pioneers open Empire 8 play against Ithaca on Saturday, Sept. 29,

the stakes could not be much higher. The conference has shown a great deal of parity so far this season, as a Buffalo State team that beat No. 1 Wisconsin-Whitewater lost to a young Alfred team the following week. When the confer-ence is that competitive, each individual game becomes increasingly important. In their preseason preview, d3football.com called the Pioneers’ matchup with the Bombers one of the biggest games of the season in the Empire 8 confer-ence. This is mostly in large part to the game’s impact on the overall standings and the outcome of last year’s game. In last year’s meeting, Utica pulled out a close 20-15 victory over the Bomb-ers. The win over Ithaca was the first in program history. When the Pioneers visit Butterfield Stadium next Saturday, the Bombers will have a potent trio of skill position play-ers lining up on offense.Quarterback Phil Neumann has made great strides over his inconsistent per-formance last year. After leading Ithaca to its worst record in over 30 years, he is 3-0 this season as the full-time starter. Neumann threw for 249 yards in Ithaca’s 40-21 road victory at Frostburg. Faggiano expects to use a variety of defensive schemes to get effective pres-sure on Neumann and force his hand when the pocket collapses.

Tailback Clay Ardoin, of Dolgeville, has proven that he is a tough customer in his first year as a starter. The 6-foot-2, 260 pound speedster has been a nightmare for opposing tacklers, rushing for 397 yards and three touchdowns in three starts. Faggiano said that getting solid tackles on Ardoin will be a major key for his defense if they expect to win. Wide receiver Joseph Ingrao has been one of the more dynamic receivers in the Empire 8 this season. Ingrao is among the conference leaders in every major receiving category, and the Utica

secondary will have to keep him on a short leash to slow down his production. As far as Faggiano is concerned, quite possibly the most important key to Saturday’s game lies in his offense’s ability to run the football. As pass-heavy as his offense can be, Faggiano said that whoever runs the ball better on Sat-urday will likely be the team that walks out of Butterfield Stadium with a victory. The Pioneers will travel to Ithaca on Saturday, Sept. 29. The game is sched-uled to begin at 1 p.m.

After helping to lead her team to a strong run at the Empire 8 conference title just last spring as a fresh-man, Louise Steele-Norton is more prepared and ready than ever to lift her team to this ultimate goal and take it all home this season. The Pioneers are already showing their drive and de-sire this season as they currently sit with a 5-3 record and a 1-2 mark in the Empire 8, with their one con-ference win against Nazareth College. Steele-Norton is overjoyed with the success of last year’s program, however, she is ready for a clean slate and another shot at an E8 title. “Going into this season after coming off of an awe-some season last spring, I feel very confident that we are going to be awesome and do great things,” sopho-more forward Steele-Norton said. “My goals and hopes for this season would have to be to make it to the NCAA tournament and to be No. 1 in regular season.” Her passion and heart heading into this season is evident in her ability on the field. Steele-Norton was a freshman standout last season, providing the Pioneers with an offensive spark on the field. She has recorded eleven of the Pioneers 29 goals in eight games already this season and is the powerhouse attacker next to classmate forward Hannah Mackey. Mackey and Steele-Norton are focused on working off of one another and creating this offensive duo powerhouse in the conference this season. “The roles that I am playing this year are pretty

much the same as last,” Steele-Norton said. “I am most looking forward to playing alongside this new group of girls.” While the team is looking forward to another suc-cessful year, one player and close teammate to Steele-Norton is thrilled to have gotten this chance to play alongside her and create this duo. “It was one of the best experiences of my life,” Mackey said. “I’m so lucky that I got paired with a great player like her. We always know where each other are and love working our passes up the field. She has added not only an amazing forward to our team but an amaz-ing personality.” Steele-Norton’s characteristics as a team player and the ability to make her teammates laugh could easily come from her desire of sports, and team sports at that. A native of Avondale, Pa., Steele-Norton is one of seven children. Outside of her love for field hockey, she is also an active member of Utica’s women’s ice hockey team. In her life outside the field and ice, Steele-Norton is a psychology-child life major and en-joys spending free time with friends. These traits of hers have made her a lovable

person both on and off the field, and for Mackey, her experience at UC would be a lot different without hav-ing met and played with Steele-Norton. “I hope I never have to start a game without her,” Mackey said. “My favorite trait about her is that she is always making the team laugh. When I’m down or just having a bad day, she knows and is there to pick me up.” Steele-Norton and the Pioneers are looking to be a top contender in the E8 conference again this year af-ter taking the number one seed last spring and hosting the E8 tournament. The team will be looking for some new roles to be filled as they lost key players through-out their offensive and defensive line. This does not worry Mackey though, because she is confident in the work between her and Steele-Norton. “My time here at UC so far has been awesome,” Steele-Norton said. “I have made my best friends here through this school. I have also made the best team-mates. The word awesome underestimates the experi-ence I have had here.”

Field hockey standout Steele-Norton is ready to win

Women’s volleyball will be hosting a series of games this weekend, one on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 5 p.m. against Nazareth College and one on Sun-day, Sept. 30 at 1 p.m. against Morrisville State College.

Cancer Care Center in Utica. The girls did well with raising the money, however they lost the game in double overtime with only 2:26 left on the clock. Alfred’s Mary Hendee finally broke the 0-0 tie with a rebound shot on goal. Utica’s own Caitlyn Smith saved Alfred’s Rachel Williams’ first attempt on goal, but did not recover in time to block the second shot by Hen-dee. Both goalies played a huge part in this game. Samijo Scheer, Alfred’s goalie, made nine saves throughout this 108 minute game, while Smith made six saves. Through this grueling battle of wills, Utica had some issues in their game play. “We need to work on keeping the ball and when we have it, we need to fin-ish,” head coach Claire McLain said. “We will have some training sessions on possession next practice.” Besides the Pioneers’ issues with possession, Smith sustained an injury during the game against D’Youville College on Wednesday, Sept. 19 . This seemed to be a factor in Saturday’s game given how on-key Smith has been thus far. However, the girls may have been defeated physically, but not men-tally. Senior captain and forward Sam Spohler weighed in on how the team

did. “We did a great job setting in the flanks but did not capitalize on it,” Spohler said. “We need to work on keeping the ball after we win 50-50’s

and finishing. The rest of our games will definitely be competitive. This was our first league game and it means that none of our games will be won easily and should not be taken lightly. We most definitely did not take this game lightly beforehand, and we surely won’t now.” “Even though the conditions were tough, our team held together,” junior forward Sarah Southwell said. “We just couldn’t finish the 1v1. Even in the double overtime we kept our cool and didn’t freak out or yell at each other.” Jenna Hughes, a sophomore for-ward on the team, explained that the loss came down to the team’s inability to get good passes and finishing them.Despite this, Hughes is not worried.“I am not worried about the rest of our league games to come. We come out after a loss and play harder and tougher. It is after a loss that we can be counted on to give it our all to win.” In the end, the result of the game was 1-0 to Alfred University, yet the UCWS is not down. Their record is now 6-2 overall and 0-1 in league play. Utica is set to travel to Houghton Col-lege Saturday, Sept. 29. Game time is set for 2 p.m.

there,” Watson said. “I thought they em-braced the opportunity to play in pink uniforms for a good cause and I think we raised several thousand dollars for the event.” Senior midfielder Dan Garcia was not pleased with the loss, but enjoyed the opportunity to play for a good cause. “It was great to play for this cause,” he said. “It was the first time we have done this and it was great to help and it felt good.” Teammate and starting defenseman Shane Ruffing echoed Garcia. “Playing in the ‘Kick Cancer’ game was a lot of fun,” Ruffing said. “It was great to play in a game where we could benefit a good cause.” The Pioneers enjoyed the opportu-nity to play for a great cause, but their minds had to stay focused as they pre-pared to travel to Plattsburgh State for a non-conference matchup. The Pioneers matched up with Plattsburgh State on Tuesday, Sept. 25 and did so with pride and hard work. UC fell behind in the first half when Platts-burgh’s Nick Parrella headed the ball past Caruso’s reach off a corner kick. The Pioneers fought back and had some missed opportunities as they dropped their second straight game. Watson was pleased with the work and progress of the guys despite some odds they had

against them. “It was 1-0, a hard fought game,” he said. “The first half we kind of sat back a little bit, the wind was in our faces so we just sort of played a little

bit of low pressure, kept it organized, and tried to shorten the game itself. We came out in the second half and cre-ated a lot more chances. Their keeper had one good save and we missed a few open headers but showed we continued to battle and it made it very difficult for them.”Garcia feels the team needs to work on finishing on open opportunities. “We need to finish chances and work harder from here,” he said. Ruffing also feels finishing is a problem for this UC team and improvement is needed if they want to come out on top the rest of the season. “Right now we are just having trouble finding the net as a team, but it is get-ting better,” he said. “We are trying to improve on things as we go along; what ever isn’t working in the game before, we try to focus on.” The Pioneers are still looking for their first conference win and Watson stressed the importance and difficulty of this. “We have to battle ourselves back and look for that first conference win,” he said. “The first one is always the toughest one.” The Pioneers are preparing for a road trip to Williams College on Satur-day, Sept. 29. Game time is set for 1:30 p.m.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is great when it comes to college sports. The NCAA is not all about fun and games, however. Their rules and regulations, es-pecially those related to drugs, are very strict and strongly upheld. Student athletes are re-quired to fill out certain paper-work before they are allowed to participate in collegiate contests. This type of paper-work is referred to as a drug testing consent. The process of filling out these forms is simple. The student athletes read the contract and become familiar with the NCAA rules. They are to review and sign the paperwork, then return it to the athletic di-rector. The drug testing consent forms are due before the first athletic contest, according to the NCAA. The student athletes that sign off on this paperwork are allowing themselves to be drug tested. Student athletes would be notified of the test and will have to face the consequences if they test positive. Student athletes are also allowing NCAA drug testing laboratories to use their sample to further advance drug testing methods. There are a few conse-

quences for testing positive. If a player tested positive for any banned substance, he or she would be banned from compe-tition in all sports for at least a year and also lose a year of eligibility. However, student athletes are given the benefit of the doubt and are allowed an opportunity to appeal the posi-tive test results. If a student athlete were to test positive two times during their collegiate career, he or she would lose all remaining regular season and postseason eligibility. A player that misses a scheduled drug test has conse-quences to face as well. If a student athlete skipped his drug test, he would be recognized as testing positive on their drug test for a banned substance that is not a street drug. The NCAA’s banned sub-stances are broken down into the following eight classes: stimulants, anabolic agents, alcohol and beta blockers, diuretics, street drugs, peptide hormones and analogues, anti-estrogens and beta-2 agonists. One example of each class respectively is caffeine, testos-terone, alcohol, bumetanide, marijuana, growth hormone, anastrozole and bambuterol. A more specific list with more banned substances can be located on the NCAA website or at the athletic training office.

However, there is no com-plete list of banned substances. The proper and safe thing to do when taking supplements is to have the athletic training staff check any substance before us-ing it. Head athletic trainer Dan Sheffer suggests that student athletes approach him or other Athletic training staff before taking substances. “My job is to educate the athletes about the difference between legal and illegal substances and supplements,” Sheffer said. The athletic training staff is able to provide resources that sell supplements that meet NCAA regulations. Sheffer did have one important tip when talking about caffeine, which is a banned substance if taken in large quantities. “I recommend using caffeine in small amounts,” Sheffer said. This goes for coffee, Red Bull and other energy drinks. Since caffeine is a banned substance, the training staff removed the energy drinks ma-chines from the Athletic Center. If you have any questions about drug consent forms or banned substances, you can visit NCAA.org and get infor-mation under the health and safety tab. You can also receive information from the Utica Col-lege Athletic Training staff or Athletic Director Dave Fontaine.

Men’s soccer drops two straight

A series of unfortunate events left the Utica College men’s soccer team with an 0-2 week, dropping their record to 4-5 on the season with an 0-2 mark in the Empire 8 Confer-ence. The Pioneers first hosted E8 rival St. John Fisher in their “Kick Cancer” game on Sat-urday, Sept. 22. Neither team would strike until the 51 minute mark of the second half, when

Fisher’s Garhett Varin chased a long ball from teammate Austin Buckley and tapped it past UC keeper Anthony Caruso for a 1-0 advantage. The Pioneers were not ready to give up. They came back less than seven minutes later as freshman defender Greg Silves-tro recorded his first ever colle-giate goal as he headed the ball into the top right hand corner of the net off junior midfielder Jeff Cupka’s direct kick. Both teams battled to the end of regulation but neither team was able to capitalize, sending the game into overtime. Fisher sealed the victory roughly ten minutes into

the overtime period when Jake Quattrini pushed the ball across the left side of the field and into the right hand corner past Ca-ruso. Despite the tough overtime loss, UC was pleased to play for a cause. For head coach Eric Watson, the game gave his men a new perspective. “I thought it was a great op-portunity because you get a game and the guys are always thinking about themselves and the school, so this is a good opportunity to go out and real-ize there are bigger issues out

All of the players on the Utica women’s soccer team knew what the definition of wet was Saturday when they played Alfred University to start their league play. From the time they were warm-ing up until into the second half, it was a complete washout. The pink jerseys the girls were sporting in honor of the “Kick Cancer” game were soaked before the match even began, but

this did not dampen their pride for the cause. The idea behind the “Kick Cancer” game was to raise money for breast cancer treatment. Both the men and women’s soccer teams were hosting this event and raised money by selling pink t-shirts and also auctioning off the jerseys they played in with the starting bid at $40. All of the funds are being given to Faxton St. Luke’s Breast
