Before deciding to venture off into the world of politics, Vladimir opted for a wide range of careers – a drama professor at a renowned Czech university, a skilled painter, and an opera composer. Franz was also granted a doctorate degree from law school, but deferred to a career in the arts due to the Czech Republic’s involvement with the former communist regime. Perhaps the most enthralling de­

tail about Franz’s character is that he loves getting inked. I’m not al­luding to the “ink” that’s associated with his increasing press coverage, but the ink that the hopeful politi­

His goal is to collect the 50,000 signatures he needs to formally declare his can­didacy. The politician’s startling image

is contrasted by his surprisingly

modest political ideals. Franz holds a moderate position in politics, and the foundations of his appeal as president lie in “promoting toler­ance, human rights, democracy, and encouraging the search for alterna­tive energy sources.” He told the Czech newspaper, titled ‘Prague Post’: “Politics, politicians and the state have become alienated from the people. Citizens are frustrated, and I fear radicalization.” Franz believes in maintaining Czech rela­tions with the European Union, but has defended regulations that seek to balance equal policies over big­ger and smaller nations.

The 16 Amish individuals were found guilty of car­rying out the “beard attacks” that left Amish in the area in distress and fear in the fall of 2011. These so­called “beard attacks,” which also involved cutting off women’s hair, were carried out by his followers on nine occa­

sions on what Mullet deemed to be his en­emies. Even though Mullet himself was not involved directly in the attacks, prosecutors claimed that he was the mastermind behind the assaults and ordered them to be carried (8/+.-+&+1?%,.2,+0&--%'=The victims that Mullet had targeted had

As re­venge for doing this to him and his communi­ty, he ordered men and women who followed him to break into the homes of the victims, shaving off their beards and cutting their hair

with instruments intended for horses. The trial itself, and the fact that the Amish

had law enforcement involved, is very un­usual to begin with. Amish generally do not get involved with courts and police, prefer­ring to handle their disputes among them­selves. However, the nature of the assaults moved them to action. Normally Mullet and his followers would

be faced with trespassing, assault, and other charges. But they were charged with con­spiracy and hate crimes due to the context of the attacks and the violence in the way they committed these assaults. To the Amish, hav­

ing a beard for men and having long hair for women is an important part of their faith and culture.

Shortstop player Yunel Escobar, of the Toronto Blue Jays, has been suspended for three games for displaying a gay slur on his eye black.

The money that Escobar would have been paid for playing these three games is estimated to be around $83,000. This money will instead go to the You Can Play project and the Gay & Lesbi­an Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), both LGBT advocacy groups. The baseball player, as punishment for his actions, is also being required to attend sensitivity train­ing and educational outreach for tolerance B&1%*+(-+ 1%Z8&)+('.%-/&/.(-=+;%&0+(52,&)1+hope the sensitivity training will help Esco­bar develop tolerance for people based on their sexual orientation.The slur, which stated “tu ere maricon,”

roughly translates to “you are a faggot” in English. When questioned about what ex­actly the phrase meant and why he used it, Escobar was surprisingly vague and said

it was not meant as a gay slur, more as a joke among the Latino community. Escobar is Cuban, and he insisted when questioned that the phrase was not to offend anyone, referring to several people he knew that were gay. However, the team released a statement during the announcement of sus­pension declaring that they still had no tol­erance for discriminatory actions. Escobar did accept and agree with the suspension and expressed embarrassment. Even though the incident itself happened

on Saturday, no one noticed the homopho­bic slur until Monday, when a fan who had taken pictures uploaded them to Flickr. The photographs then went viral, catching the attention of the team managers. The man­ager John Farrell said that the slur went unnoticed because Escobar was known for writing messages on his eye black. He was known by the team to write motivational and inspirational messages, nothing harm­ful or insulting. For this reason, it came as a surprise when Escobar walked onto home plate with a slur instead of motivation writ­ten under his eyes.

you were listening, you’d notice I didn’t make the old­man demand that, “You snotty kids stay off the lawn!”. I ask for only inches to one side.

DAKOTA FARLEY

Potsdam invaded by unimaginative horses

Notice how I didn’t call you an idiot? That sure was nice of me. It’s almost as if I wanted to open a dis­course about something I disagree with in a civil and respectful man­ner. I’m referring of course to your recent editorial piece about “idiots on skateboards.” Believe it or not, I cannot skateboard. I’m sure you’re happy to hear this, because it means I won’t be giving you dirty looks or bloody noses. I may not be able to look “cool” in “wool parkas or kha­kis and converse,” but at least I’m not a “total douche.”I’d now like to address some of

the generalizations and embellish­ments you printed recently. First of all, “technically”, skateboards

are not vehicles. They cannot be le­gally driven or ridden on the street, like a bike or car. They are, howev­er, like you said, “fast, convenient, easily portable, and can save a lot %&$ ).5#?@$A"#0$ B$ '7/)$ 7#+2$ )"+)1$ B$thought those things were all good, but I kept reading and learned the truth. Second, I may not know much about physics, but I do know that it would be almost entirely impossi­ble to “cruise down a crowded side­walk at 40 miles an hour” on any type of board. The wheels would probably get wobbly and the person would fall off. However, I’m not as good as you are at judging speed by “the wind of passage,” so I guess I’ll never know. Third, your friend

witnessed someone kick a skate­board down a hill “where it pro­ceeded to hit the legs of a girl at the bottom.” Well, I wasn’t there, but I’m assuming that the board kicker wanted his or her board back, and during its retrieval, apologized for the heinous crime, because that’s what civil people do. Perhaps the girl at the bottom of the hill should have been “aware of other people in existence,” and moved a few steps out of the way to avoid what could have been a crippling injury. I hope she’s O.K now though. In closing, I don’t think that ecstasy makes you veer wildly around, and I think you just chose a drug that you thought was bad to get your point across.

I also don’t think you should hate people you don’t know, especially not forever, and especially not after you say that you’re O.K. with those people. Finally, please don’t push people off their boards in unjusti­'#2$7+6#1$ )"+);/$C-/)$7#+334$0%)$)"+)$nice, and you wouldn’t be helping anything. You’d probably be actu­ally harming someone severely, seeing as they all go forty miles an hour. But I do see your point, hav­ing wind blow up against your face is just the absolute worst.

ANONYMOUS NON­SKATEBOARDER

Editorial response: An open letter to Emily Beatty

Hi, Anonymous Non­skate­boarder. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my opinion.Let’s break your response down.

You saw me refer to a group of ab­stracts as “idiots” and got upset, be­cause “idiot” is a strong term about someone’s supposed intelligence, so that makes it bad. I guess it was rude of me, but I don’t understand why my level of rudeness is con­sidered too strong by you when it’s in reaction to extreme rudeness by people who can’t be bothered to op­erate skateboards like other people exist on the sidewalk.Skateboards aren’t vehicles?

A#8/)#7;/$2#'0.).%0$%&$+$D#".(3#$+/$it applies here is “a means of car­rying or transporting something”, so okay, I will give you that skate­boards aren’t considered a “ve­hicle” in the eyes of the law, but they have wheels and they transport stuff, and they go fast, so “techini­cally”, one can describe them as a “vehicle” and not be wrong. Basi­cally, I believe that if you are using something that is capable of going faster than a person who is walk­ing, then you should operate it like a responsible person. Doesn’t mat­

ter what it is, wheelchairs, scooters, skateboards, cars, if you don’t use it with consideration of other people, you’re gonna hurt someone. And yes, I did praise skate­

boards as “fast, convienient, eas­ily portable, and can save a lot of time”, because I believe that’s an accurate description of them. I don’t really see how my statement that people who are inconsiderate on skateboards are idiots changes that opinion, because I wasn’t refer­ring to “idiot skateboards”. Kind of like, I’m okay with guns, because they have practical uses and can do a lot of different things. But people who are idiots with guns suck and I do not like them, because they use guns wrong, and it usually means someone’s gonna have a bad time. Same goes for skateboards.Yeah, I know its probably not

possible for someone to go down a sidewalk on a skateboard at forty miles an hour, but I was employing hyperbole for the sake of the argu­ment. Skateboards can go pretty fast compared to someone walking. Things that go fast hurt if they run into people. That was pretty much the bottom line of that particular

argument, and the fact that people can’t go 40 miles an hour on a skateboard doesn’t change the fact that someone going 10 to 15 miles on a skateboard would still really hurt if they ran into you.Oh man, let’s get to my favor­

ite part where you talk about how its the girl’s fault she got hit by a skateboard because she “should have been aware of other people’s existance” and magically known that the person behind her was go­ing to kick their skateboard down a hill and hit her, because its not like the skateboard owner should have been aware of what they were do­ing or anything, maybe given the person a warning that, hey, I just kicked something at you, look out? Nah, totally that girl’s fault she got hit. And even if the owner of the skateboard apologized, which I’m sure they did, I was using the inci­dent to illustrate a wider pattern of certain people on skateboards not being considerate to other people, I.E, trying to do tricks, maybe not even fancy ones, that could hurt people nearby if they mess up.Ecstasy would probably make

you do some pretty weird things

on a skateboard, but you got me, I was using it as more hyperbole. I’m assuming most skateboarders on campus don’t drop E and then cra­zily skateboard into crowds, they 2%$)"+)$C-/)$'0#$9.)"%-)$27-6/?E02$'0+3341$C-/)$)%$(3#+7$)"#$+.7F$I

was not referring to all skateboard­ers or skateboards in my opinion.Instead I was referring, exclusively, to those people who act obnoxious and with no consideration to other people, on skateboards.In closing, I don’t actually push

people off skateboards because I do have a concious, but I do have the right to dislike people who are rude and inconsiderate on skateboards and almost hit me, and yeah, I can dislike them forever if they keep doing it. (You’re right, “hate” is a strong word, and since I don’t have energy to waste on actually “hat­ing” idiots on skateboards, I’ll tone it down to a “dislike”.)

September 25, 2012 – The College Store at SUNY Potsdam is joining hundreds of other college stores across North America October 4 to celebrate and promote social responsibility during the annual National Student Day.

National Student Day, sponsored by the National Association of College Stores (NACS), is a day dedicated to celebrating and promoting social responsibility by college students.

“We decided to take part in National Student Day because we see our students committing selfless acts every day,” said Carlie Robinson, Director “From volunteering at Fire Department to organizing fundraisers like Relay for Life or Suicide

Awareness, our students continue to improve the campus community and beyond. We are proud of our students and are taking the opportunity to recognize them.”

The College Store is looking for students to post their stories on wallboards in the store on October 4th from noon­4pm. There will be random giveaways for students who share their stories, as well as cake, punch, free popcorn, and a special on selected t­shirts for people who stop by.

Students can also win cool prizes from NACS by sharing their story of social responsibility. Students can submit their story on how they give back to their community online at

www.nationalstudentday.com. Stories will be voted on by students across North America. The 10 most popular stories will win awards consisting of $3,000, $2,000, and $1,000 scholarships as well as seven iPads.

For more information on National Student Day, go to www.nationalstudentday.com.

The College Store is a full service retail store serving the students, faculty and staff of SUNY Potsdam. Located on the first floor of the Barrington Student Union, the store is open from 9­6, Monday through Thursday, 9­4:30 on Friday and noon to 4 on Saturdays and carries a complete supply of course materials and SUNY merchandise.

I look for the pens in the plastic shelves they gave me for Christmas, and the note­book with a golden heart on the front cover they handed me the day after a forgotten birthday. Write me down, take note of me. It calls me, the voice, I feel embraced in warmth when it is around. Calming me with division away from reality, entering a dreamy state of mind. “Why am I even here? All I do is create another reason for

them to yell, to drink.” I lay down on the bed and begin to scribble down words to forget the lyrics of everyday life. Writ­-(8"@<"0,("'/<./@2")**-(8"@<"/&$+",-./"-@$8&1"04"/$55-(&11"and life.

I scribble faster to catch up to the thoughts, the pen not mov­ing fast enough for me. Pressing the pen down harder into the paper, engraving it, the pen cries out for mercy. It tries to keep up, pushing through its pain and the force I put on it. Wincing at every cross of the T and dot of the I. Then something hap­pens, something very terrible happens, the ink...it stops com­ing out. My face, mood, and body changes from wonderment to an intensity of destruction. The voice takes control, like it was waiting for this moment. It must die, give the pen what it deserves. I follow the demands and take the pen in both hands and slowly bend it to the breaking point, simultaneously the pen screams in excruciating pain and is silenced. The note­book, it must burn for the pen’s mistake. It too was a part of

the plan to stop you from writing down the thoughts. Burn it.
