For the second straight season the Falcons have captured the nE-10 title in hostile territory. This year the victim was Stonehill on their own home turf, as the Falcons defeated them 21, conquering their second straight nE-10 title. Before the Falcons had the opportunity to take on the number one seed Stonehill in the championship game, they had to defeat bitter rival and third seeded UMass lowell. The atmosphere before the UMass lowell game was electric
as the air was filled with anticipation of a memorable semi-final matchup. The game did not disappoint as it was a 70 minute all out battle that left both teams exhausted and bruised. UMass lowell came out playing very aggressively and seemed to control the play for the first 15 minutes. At this point, with 22 minutes remaining in the first half, the turning point of the game occurred when the river Hawks were buzzing around the Falcon net and put a shot on net, but senior goaltender Alyssa Sliney was there to make the save. However, Sliney was hit in
the leg on the save and fell to the ground, with incredible compo-

on the shot and Sliney saved the shot easily, preserving the scoreless tie. The game would remain scoreless until 17 minutes remained in the game. The Falcons finally broke the scoreless tie as sophomore Stephanie Sideris netted her 10th goal and third game-winner of 2009. Following a scramble in front of the river Hawk net, the midfielder controlled a loose ball and knocked it into the cage. The river Hawks came into the game as the conference’s best offensive team as they netted 80 goals in 20 games this season. (Continued on Page 14)
CAB Concert off due to contractual obstacles Campus jobs prove scarce They would also need per- enormous expense in hiring to non-work study students Dan Caponetti STAFF WriTEr
A musical artist that the “vast majority” of students would recognize almost performed at Bentley this weekend. The Campus Activities Board (CAB) recently saw months of work towards a fall concert go to waste because of contractual disagreements between the two parties. The identity of the artist would not be revealed by CAB or the Office of Student Activities. Two major problems contributed to the falling through. The first disagreement between the two sides involved a radius clause in the school’s contract. The clause states that the artist cannot perform publicly somewhere else within 48 hours before the show as well as 24 hours after without the University’s consent.
mission to perform within 90 miles of Waltham in the three weeks before the show. Jessica kenerson, advisor to CAB, claimed this clause was necessary because, “Bentley students might go to that (public show) without realizing that we are having them on campus. So, it would affect our turn out." Secondly, the artist requested that no student labor be used to set up the show. CAB revised this part of the contract, but to no avail. At that point, with both sides refusing to budge, CAB had no choice but to cancel. kenerson said that, “We couldn’t afford to hire the amount of stagehands we would need to build the stage, do the sound, and do the lighting. Usually we have 40 or 50 students helping out to build that stuff.” With no student labor, CAB would have paid an
professional help. This proved to be an unreasonable expectation for an organization with a contracting budget. kenerson also stressed that this is not a reflection of CAB. She says that student organizers put in a lot of hard work plan the show and that the unfortunate circumstances were beyond their control. in the end, no money went to waste; CAB returned all of the funding allotted to them for this event to Student Activities. There is hope, however, that this artist will be coming back to Bentley. According to kenerson, there is a “50/50 chance” that they could play at an event like Spring Day. For now, CAB will be hosting the original opener for the show, Andrew Belle, on Saturday, november 7 in the Blue line pub.
FWS students are the only ones finding jobs.

To the dismay of students seeking jobs across campus, the Office of Student Employment has recently sent out a number of e-mails muddling the possibility of job openings this semester. Assistant Director of Student Employment Candice Garabedian stated, “The Student Employment Office is working with students who have contacted us because

they are having difficulty finding an on-campus job in order to utilize their Federal Work Study eligibility. As soon as we have placed those students, we will open up the on-campus job list to all students who would like to find on-campus employment.” A second e-mail was sent as a correction by Garabedian to clarify the situation, where she stated “The Student Employment Office has deter(Continued on Page 14)
