Student’s life saved by AED
Candidates on campus
Dominick Mastrangelo News Editor A student in LCC’s Adult Fitness and Cardiac Rehabilitation Program collapsed but survived after suffering a heart attack following a class session Sept. 24. The 70-year-old student, who chose not to be identified for privacy reasons, collapsed in the men’s locker room shortly after the class ended. Linda Koning, a parttime LCC administrator and the course instructor, said she remembered it being business as usual before the student went down. “It was a smaller class that day, nothing out of the ordinary,” Koning said. Once the student went

Homecoming Week events finalized
Sarah Sanders Editor in Chief
Homecoming Week is definitely occurring this 2010-11 school year. The events will begin Monday, Nov. 15 and end the following Sunday, Nov. 21. The event is hosted by the Student Loyalty Initiative in cooperation with several other groups and committees. Last year, Homecoming lasted one day, whereas this year it
will last a full week. Students can qualify for a number of prizes, giveaways and discounts by obtaining a Homecoming Week ticket. The games are, as always, free to attend, but with this ticket students have several opportunities to support the college and be a part of a memorable event. Tickets will be available across campus, at the booths set up by the Student Loyalty Initiative in
the Gannon Building, Kennedy Cafeteria in A&S, the University Center and the lobby of the TLC building. The ticket will allow students a 10-percent dis-
count in the Spirit Shop all throughout the week. The ticket will also enter the students into a halftime drawing, which will take place during both the
men’s and women’s basketball games on Wednesday, Nov. 17, as well as those happening on Saturday, Nov. 20. Students will have several opportunities to obtain T-shirts throughout the week. In order to receive the T-shirt, students must once again donate just one canned good. The cans donated will be used to help reconstruct the Canscuplture in the Gannon Building during
the week of homecoming. After the Cansculpture is taken down, the cans will be donated to a local shelter. These T-shirts will display the new LCC athletic’s graphic. This graphic is to be unveiled during Homecoming Week as well. On Wednesday, Nov. 17, LCC will host The Pep Rally Tailgate, See Homecoming, page 16
