SUNY Names New President
The State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees voted unanimously to name Nancy L. Zimpher the 12th chancellor of SUNY, the largest comprehensive system of public higher education in the country. Zimpher is the first woman to be named chancellor in SUNY’s 60-year history. Zimpher is currently president of the University of Cincinnati. Her appointment as chancellor is effective June 1, 2009. “Nancy Zimpher brings to SUNY an outstanding national reputation earned through her many accomplishments in public higher education,” said Carl T. Hayden, who chairs both the SUNY Board of Trustees and the chancellor search committee. “It is with great pleasure that I welcome her to SUNY as chancellor.” “I extend my deep appreciation to the members of the search committee whose tireless efforts have achieved such an outstanding result.” Hayden said. SUNY Trustee and search committee member H. Carl McCall said, “Nancy Zimpher is an educator, scholar and administrator of the highest quality. She possesses the intelligence, determination and experience SUNY needs for the challenging times that confront us. I could not be more pleased with the results of our search.” “Nancy Zimpher’s impressive career has been devoted to keeping public higher education high quality, affordable and accessible, which aligns with SUNY’s mission,” said search committee member Milton Johnson, president of the Faculty Council of Community Colleges. “On behalf of my colleagues at the 30 community colleges, I welcome Nancy to SUNY and I look forward to beginning our work together.” “Nancy Zimpher’s considerable skills in managing complex institutions of higher education will enable her to advance the SUNY system to new heights,” said Cornell University President David J. Skorton, a member of the search committee. “SUNY and all of New York are most fortunate to have such a capable leader. I congratulate Nancy on becoming SUNY Chancellor and look forward to working with her as we strengthen higher education in the Empire State.” “Congratulations are well in order for Nancy Zimpher and the SUNY system,” said former NFL Commissioner and search committee member, Paul Tagliabue. “Nancy Zimpher possesses all of the essential qualities a leader needs to overcome obstacles and achieve results. I expect her tenure as SUNY chancellor to be most successful.”

Lady Spartans Fall By Jesse Cases, Sports Editor
Dr. Nancy L. Zimpher New SUNY Chancellor “Creative ideas and energy combined with wisdom and a strong set of problemsolving skills mark Nancy Zimpher as a remarkable leader,” said President and CEO of the Asia Society and search committee member Vishakha Desai. “Nancy Zimpher is an ideal candidate for SUNY and I congratulate her on becoming the next chancellor.” My deep appreciation and gratitude go out to the Chancellor Search Committee, Chairman Hayden and the SUNY Board of Trustees for their support and for placing their trust and in confidence in me,” said Chancellor Zimpher. “Together with Governor Paterson, the state Legislature, the Board of Trustees, campus presidents, students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends, we will advance the educational, research and public service missions of the State University of New York and I look forward with great anticipation and excitement to beginning our work.” During the spring of 2009, Zimpher anticipates traveling to Albany on several occasions to ensure a smooth and effective transition. In addition to campus presidents and SUNY senior staff, she expects to meet with constituency groups, faculty and student governance leaders, and state legislators, among others. Dr. Zimpher succeeds former SUNY Chancellor and United States Navy Vice Admiral John R. Ryan, who stepped down May 31, 2007 to become the president of the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, North Carolina.

The Lady Spartans of Cayuga Community College ended their season on a low note, with yet another loss versus Broome Community College. After starting out with one of the best seasons in school history the Lady Spartans were crippled by injuries and suspensions all season long. After last week’s embarrassing loss to Finger Lakes Community College in the Mid-State Athletic Conference Tournament by a score of 82-45, Cayuga traveled to Tompkins Cortland Community College on Friday, February 27th, to take on Broome Community College in the Division 3 Regional tournament. The Lady Spartans struggled early on in the game to find the bottom of the net, but great first half defense kept them in the game. At halftime Cayuga trailed by 5 points, 2217. The 17 points were the Lady Spartans lowest output in a half this season. In the second half the Lady Spartans scoring woes continued and, unfortunately for Cayuga, Broome started to find the bottom of the net. Outscoring the Lady Spartans 31-22 in the
second half, Broome took the easy win as Cayuga couldn’t get going offensively. In her second game back since a severe ankle sprain suffered in Cayuga’s last game versus Broome, the nation’s leading scorer, Caitlin Dillard, managed just 8 points. Also pitching in for the Lady Spartans were Shakeema Green with 9 points and 6 rebounds, and in her last game Corissa Quattrini scored 5 points to go with 11 rebounds. The loss was the fourth straight for Cayuga, the worst stretch all season long, with two losses coming to Finger Lakes and another two coming to Broome. The Lady Spartans started the season off 18-4 before losing six of their final eight games, but still managed the third best season in school history with a final record of 20-10. Dillard and Quattrini were both named to the All-Conference team and to the AllRegion team respectively. Dillard finished the season averaging 24.2 points and 4.6 steals per game. Quattrini averaged 17.2 points and 11.1 rebounds per game.
Attempt to Help Local Students Denied By Andy Brown, Assistant Editor The economy is in shambles, tuition is up, and living expenses are a pretty penny as well. If students need assistance where can they go? If all of student’s money is going toward a place to live and tuition, what will they do for books and food? How can a student whose financial situation isn’t the greatest, prior to paying for college, be expected to live? These are questions that Assistant Director of Financial Aid, Jackie Darquea, wants to address. “These students need a place to go where they don’t have to worry about the financial struggles that every student face,” explained Darquea. “This place being a food pantry.” Darquea knew that if she wanted to get something started for the students that she had to get the executive staff of Cayuga’s Auburn and Fulton campuses to help her in helping students. This didn’t go as smoothly as Darquea would’ve hoped. In trying to get assistance from upper level, executive staff, Darquea was shut down. The staff of Cayuga discussed the problem, and although it is a “great humanitarian gesture,” the staff was confused about the message that would be sent out to the students. Plus, the fact that some students might be allergic to certain foods in the pantry was too much of a risk to start one here in the college. Instead of having a food pantry here, the staff here at Cayuga has resorted to giving students a long list of different food pantries around the community
that are easily accessible. In the financial aid office here at the Auburn campus, there is a list of some places on Darquea’s door. Also, Darquea is accepting perishable goods that she brings down to the local food pantries herself. So no worries Cayuga students, if you need help, it is out there.

OPINIONS To Write or Not to Write? I think it’s important to keep a journal or diary to record milestones in your life. We’re all born as a story, no matter how miserable or boring we may think it is. Marking the events of your life in the present and looking over them a year or ten years from now will help you more clearly see the inward changes that have taken place inside you. IT can be fascinating to realize that you’ve grown slightly smarter when reading over your thoughts written a year ago. Writing is a form of personal therapy, where all your inward, frustrated, questioning and angry thoughts can be poured onto the page. Often, these are inner thoughts of our own silent world living within ourselves that we can’t tell to anyone for several reasons. The journal or diary is a trusted secret friend, ,and once the words and scrambled thoughts are out on the paper, it
helps to concretely see them in front of you that will hopefully clarify your mixed ideas and emotions. IF there is something for whatever reason you feel that needs to be said to a significant other, , sorting out such thoughts and feelings in your journal/diary will help you sort them out to better express them to that person beforehand. People often say they don’t have time to write in their diary/journal, mostly because they believe they have to write several pages. The truth is there are no rules to how or in what form you keep a journal/ diary. Even a few sentences on less than a page each day or one day a week dedicated to the entire week’s events in your life. If you write better in song, then write in a lyrical form, or express your ideas through sketches. It is your personal space and you make up the rules. -Jennifer Tissot

Rihanna and Chris Brown’s Big Fight Put your butt where it belongs!
The unpleasant incident involved pop star Chris Brown who allegedly assaulted the singer Rihanna after a heated argument regarding a text message that Brown received from another woman. Rihanna who was already aggravated after the dispute tossed Brown’s keys from the car forcing him to get out the car and search for them. Unable to find them he returned to the car and choked her and screaming “I’m going to kill you” The singer who was severely injured says she lost consciousness while Brown was choking her. Black eyes, split lips, bloody nose and bite marks to her arms and hands were just among some of the shocking injuries she suffered before being treated by a doctor. Witnesses report seeing Chris Brown fleeing the scene of the crime. Later he turned himself into the police and afterward he was released on $50,000 bail. Following the scandalous dispute, Chris brown is now feeling the consequences of his actions in which he has been taken out of “Wrigley” and the “Got Milk” Campaign. Later on Chris Brown said that he was good boy and was never known to be violent. Following the incident Brown is now staying with his mother in Virginia. According to sources celebrated rap legend Jay Z who discovered and mentored Rihanna was furious after hearing the news of the incident. He says “Chris is a walking dead man. He
messed with the wrong crew” reported by the New York Post. He was not happy after learning of her grisly injuries. This seems to be a very unfortunate incident in which emotions got out of hand. They are still very young and have a lot of maturing to do. Chris Brown’s actions were very irresponsible and I agree that some action needs to be taken to prevent this from ever happening again. This situation could have been prevented and now he has to suffer the consequences of what he has done. Domestic abuse solves nothing.. It is reported that Brown is regretful about the incident and is reaching out for counseling. Which I agree is for the best as well as a good step toward responsibility. But as for Jay Z threatening Chris Brown it’s childish and very, very uncalled for. It is not his responsibility to deal with any of this. He is an adult and Chris Brown and Rihanna are young. He should be setting an example for them. Z threatening Brown is just as bad as Brown threatening Rihanna. He should keep out of it if he can’t act like a reasonable adult. He needs to leave that to the parents to deal with. Violence cannot solve a problem it only produces more violence. I believe that as an entertainer he, himself, has a lot of growing up to do. I can understand his frustration but violence is not the answer. -James Hayes

Music Downloading Music has been a big part of the world and its cultures. Artists have made money selling albums and playing concerts or small shows all over the globe. In the past three decades, artists have started losing money and are being dropped from their record companies because people are illegally downloading music that their favorite artists have created. Of course it’s cheaper and faster to download music, rather than go to the store and buy an artist’s CD. Record Labels are being forced to drop bands because they are not making money from their CD sales. “I bought an iPod for my girlfriend and just downloaded about 3,000 songs and 200 movies to it before I gave it to her,” said Arthur Voro, a TC3 freshman. “I don’t find it wrong to take money from artists like that because everyone does it and also because they already make so much money anyways.” If Voro had paid
for the songs he downloaded, he would have paid up to $3,000 dollars if he had downloaded them legally. Instead of downloading music illegally from sites like Limewire, some people actually pay money to download music. The most popular system for legally downloading music is iTunes. Sites like this offer songs for 99 cents. Many artists actually put their songs on iTunes because they know that people won’t go out to the store anymore to buy records. Downloading music is the preferred way consumers get their music. “I feel that people who download music illegally are robbing the money out of the pockets of artists,” said Roman Vick, a sophomore at TC3. “I believe that if you like the artist that you are listening to, you should buy their CD and support them so that they can keep making the music that you enjoy.” -Srdjan Rackov

SPARTAN SPORTS Men’s Basketball in great shape coming into Big East Tourney By Andy Brown, Assistant Editor
all 16 teams in the great conference that is the Big East. This year being the first year ever that all 16 teams make it, the Syracuse Orange are in great shape to make a deep run. Head Coach Jim Boeheim has said that this is the healthiest this team has been all year, and he expects them to be playing the best ball yet this year, thankfully its crunch time. Last Tuesday night the Orange played their B home y last game of the season against the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers, and lone senior Kristof Ongenaet had a great send off.. Ongenaet played
25 minutes and chipped in his usual hustle and heart. You will be missed my Belgium friend, we ‘Cuse fans hardly knew you, but it has been a pleasure watching you scrap for every loose ball, and every rebound. After a very slow start to the game, Syracuse woke up to score 51 second-half points after just 19 in the first. Behind the strong play of “Do-it-all Paul,” Paul Harris, who had 18 points and 9 boards, the Orange solidified a first round bye in the Big East Tournament. Not to

By Jesse Cases, Sports Editor In the first game of the MidState Conference Tournament held at Onondaga Community College, the Lady Spartans seeded 3rd in the tournament, and squared off versus the Lakers of Finger Lakes Community College, who were seeded second. After the two teams split their two regular season games versus each other, the outcome of the third game was something that surprised many. Cayuga came out soft and paid for it immensely in the first half. When a Ryan Reeder basket cut the Lakers lead to 6-7 with just under 15 minutes left in the first half, Finger Lakes took over. Finishing the first half with runs of 8-0, 8-0, 11-0 and finally 11-3 the halftime score stood at 19-47 with Finger Lakes holding a commanding lead. Lakers star player Brittany Williams
led Finger Lakes first half scoring attack as she completed 3-pt plays on three different occasions and did not miss a free throw the entire half. The second half told much of the same story as countless 2-1 fast break opportunities built the Finger Lakes lead to as many as 43 points before Cayuga started to chip away briefly at the end of the game. Countless turnovers, sloppy play, and poor defense in what was easily Cayuga’s worst game of the season doomed the Lady Spartans from the beginning. Cayuga leading scorer Caitlin Dillard was limited to just seven minutes of first half action due to an ankle injury suffered versus Broome Community College on February 14th and managed a season low 3 points. Corissa Quattrini led the Lady Spartans with 11 points, 8 of which came in the second half.
mention the usual play of Harris was a handful of highlight dunks, including one in which he literally threw himself his own alley-oop on a fast break to trick the defender. In order for these men to continue their strong play they need a good outcome to this Big East Tournament. So pay attention ‘Cuse fans, because although it may feel early in the year, it is in fact March Madness time; my favorite time of the year.
Orange Ranked 25th coming off a fresh 49-63 loss at the hands of #1 Connecticut. The bubble talks had started again. After the Orange started the season off 16-1 with their only loss coming to Cleveland State after a 70 foot buzzer beater as time expired, the Orange were sitting pretty. Wins over ranked Kansas, Florida and Memphis teams, the orange were back, and were looking to get back into the big dance after missing out on the NCAA tournament the last two seasons. Then the woes started. After starting off 4-0 in conference, the Orange dropped 7 of 10 games. Although the majority of those losses came to ranked teams, the Orange who were once ranked as high as 8th in the country dropped out of the top 25. The Orange were playing with injuries to starting big man Arinze Onuaku who saw limited time. Starting point guard and leading scorer Johnny Flynn also struggled to find his shot along with long range bomber Andy Rautins. All of these factors played a big role in the Orange’s mid season slide.
The good news, the Orange are turning it around after losing 7 of 10 games. After their last loss an 89-86 heartbreaker to Villanova at home, the Orange are 3-0 with blowout wins over St. Johns by a score of 87-58, Cincinnati by a score of 87-63 and the most recent a 70-40 pounding of Rutgers in the Orange’s regular season home finale. The Orange are turning their mid season slump around and now find themselves more or less guaranteed a spot in the big dance. Ranked again now at #25, the Orange have one regular season game left versus #13 Marquette on the road. If the Orange win they could secure the 6 seed in the Big-East Conference tournament, after already having secured a first round bye. If the Orange win the Big-East tournament they could find themselves seeded as highly as 3rd in the NCAA tournament. The Orange haven’t won an NCAA tournament game since the second round of the 2003-2004 season when they beat Maryland in the second round 70-72.
Take Advantage of “Make the Road NY” CCC Career Services
By Kelsey Brown, Staff Writer
On Tuesday, February 17th, an important event occurred at “Make the Road New York” in New York City. For a half hour that morning, State Elected Officials and Immigrant adults, on the verge of losing their services, met for “Immigrant Communities: Fighting for Our Survival, Fighting for One New York.” Organizations from all over the city held media events in an effort to convince the city to restore its recent cuts to adult literacy and job training programs for the immigrant workers. Students and instructors discussed the impact those cuts would have on the community, and the reasons why it was a bad idea. The economic downturn has affected both immigrant and non-immigrant workers in New York. Uncertainty, unemployment, and critical services no longer available, nearly every community has been affected. Over 20% of the state’s population is foreign-born, and there are more than one million state residents that do not speak English well. Immigrant workers
have been massively affected by the job losses in areas such as construction, allied trades, and the service sector. Although there is a vast need for training opportunities for adult immigrants at this time, there are less than 60,000 free or affordable government-funded adult English classes currently available. That leaves 94% of immigrants in need for English classes. The “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009” represents the largest investment in the American economy and workforce’s recent history. Both the immigrant and ELL (English Language Learners) workers are part of the economy and make up a large portion of the current labor force, along with the future labor force. Make The Road New York and the New York Immigration Coalition are working towards persuading Governor Patterson to deliver a positive message to the immigrant and ELL workers and students by taking their needs into account with the use of our state’s use of its stimulus funds

Bill Horton is 61 and has been cooking gumbo for 19 years all throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. John Jones plays the Bass and Justin Heavy plays the Drums to keep a good backup sound for the Sauce Boss legend to play his 4 guitars while the ingredients are added between songs. The event took place on the 26th of February and amounted to be a smaller crowd than usual, a total of 50 people were on hand to see the e x t r ava g a n z a from 7pm8:30pm . It all started with a whaling song of the Blues with a shimmering slide echoing in the Bisgrove Theater. The crowd took it all in as the aroma of the gumbo tantalized everyone’s taste buds. The ingredients were boiled up together, being previously prepped for the occasion; that included the onion, peppers, chicken and shrimp as some of the main ingredients. Although there was this special sauce Bill added during the show, having forgotten to bring it on stage
and an assistant brought the hot sauce to him to make the gumbo complete. It seemed to be 2 more tunes and the gumbo would be ready. It all started over 30 years ago when one morning Bill walked out onto his front lawn and found a vintage 1933 steel guitar that lead him to playing the Blues. “We’ve been cooking for over 19 years and have fed over 150,000 people for free,” Bill said. “We always give the gumbo away,” Bill added.. That said, the crowd was waiting to try this fabulous gumbo as the band played on. Bill and Justin played percussion on a kettle used for a drum together and it sounded pretty cool, then they ended in unison after a few minutes of rapping the kettle. The band was very personable, coming into the isles to get the crowd involved, and the crowd gladly participated with ovations. Before you knew it the show was over and gumbo was served and it wasn’t just anyone serving the hot steaming gumbo it was the band. John and Justin served the gumbo in the lunch room, where the entire crowd came down to meet the band as Bill made a point to shake every one’s hand and thank them for supporting the cause. There is a cause and it’s Planet Gumbo, a donation kettle to gather funds to play on and even for supplies for the gumbo. The people in the crowd donated what they could and the children loved to drop in some change too. The gumbo was served and it was hot and spicy too. It was such a great time and free. It tasted very well as it savored a taste throughout the show. This isn’t the first time the Sauce Boss played at CCC and it most likely won’t be the last.

Dear Isabella, Lately, I’ve been feeling so depressed. Schoolwork is adding too much pressure and lack of sleep and falling asleep in class the next day doesn’t help. My mom and I got into a bad argument and now she won’t talk to me at all, and my dad and I aren’t too close, so I can’t talk to him about anything personal. My sister is close to me and vice versa, but she’s younger than me so I can’t go to her for most issues. Lately, colleges have been sending stuff to me, including letters inviting me to visit their campus and consider their college when I apply. I don’t know why, but I want to get away from home. I love the city and the people, but I have a feeling that some time away might do me some good. As the colleges keep sending in letters, I get more and more anxious to get out and go somewhere else, where I don’t know anyone and I can start over completely fresh. What should I do? I<3NY
Dear I<3NY, Take life one day at a time; don’t rush yourself off to the next thing. Just relax. I know it sounds much easier than it is, but you gotta just stop and find the good in what you have now. You’ll miss it when it’s over. Schoolwork can be very stressful, especially when you are having trouble sleeping. Unfortunately though, both schoolwork and sleep are essential in achieving your goals. Make sure you set aside at least 6 or 7 hours each night to get sleep, and if you’re having trouble falling asleep, try some deep breathing exercises or different meditation techniques to clear your head and help you get a good night’s rest. I obviously don’t know the details of your argument with your mother, but maybe you should try talking to her. Suggest some one-on-one bonding time; go see a movie, or take her out to dinner. Bonding with your father would be nice too, especially if you’re going away from home soon. Get to know each other a little better before you leave. You never know, he might surprise you. And the relationship between sisters is an incredible bond. Some issues might be difficult to discuss with a younger sibling, but trust her. Open up to her, and let her in. Some subjects may not be appropriate depending on how much younger she is, but don’t be embarrassed or shy to let her in. Going away to school is also an exciting adventure, and it’s completely normal to look forward to it. But again, don’t rush anything. Just relax and enjoy life. Good luck with everything! =) Isabella
