STUDENT LIBRARY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Norman F. Bourke Memorial Library of Cayuga Community College is forming a Student Library Advisory Committee. Its purpose is to gain some insight into what students want and need with regard to library services, resources and programs. We hope to recruit both traditional and non-traditional students, from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines, to participate in open discussions of how the Library can best serve our students. Our first meeting will take place on Friday, September 24th at 11:00 am in the Library’s Local History Room. Lunch will be served. Students willing to participate can contact me at rosemarie.romano@cayuga-cc.

CCC to Offer Women’s Volleyball Cayuga Community College will be adding women’s volleyball as an intercollegiate varsity sport program offering next year. With the local popularity of the sport combined with our excellent indoor facilities in Spartan Hall…it makes sense for us to add women’s volleyball. We seem to have an annual interest in prospective students interested in playing volleyball at the next level. The athletic department will begin the search for a new coach
immediately in hopes of being able to put a team on the court this coming Fall 2010 season. The Spartans will spend the summer preparing their facilities to accommodate the new volleyball program. If you know anyone who might have an interest in playing volleyball at CCC or would like more information…please contact Pete Liddell at 294-8861 or via e-mail at liddell@cayuga-cc.edu
Emmy Award-Winning Actor to Perform Live at CCC October 3 Acclaimed actor Ed Asner, whose voice starred in the 2010 Oscar– winning animated feature, Up, will appear this fall in a one-man live show, FDR, at the Auburn campus of Cayuga Community College. The one-hour performance will be presented by the Cayuga Community College Foundation on Sunday, October 3, at 3:00 p.m. in the college’s Irene A. Bisgrove Community Theatre. FDR, a portrait of the iconic American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is a sequel to the 1950s Broadway hit Sunrise at Campobello by Dore Schary. Chronicling Roosevelt’s struggle to survive in politics after being paralyzed by polio, the play garnered four Tony Awards and was made into an Oscar-nominated film. Asner’s solo performance, based on a further work by Schary, follows Roosevelt later in life as he reflects on his years as president.
Inaugurated during the depths of the Great Depression, “FDR” went on to lead the nation through World War II. The only president elected to more than two terms in office, he died in April 1945, early in his fourth term, a month before the Allies’ victory on the European front and four months before victory in the Pacific. A member since 2003 of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame and a 2001 recipient of the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, Asner has won seven Emmy Awards and five Golden Globe Awards for his television roles. He created the famous Lou Grant character for the 1970s CBS comedy The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its dramatic spinoff, Lou Grant, and has compiled extensive credits in a decades-long film and stage career. General-admission tickets for FDR at Cayuga Community College will
be available for $15 each by advance sale only. Tickets may be purchased by check to the CCCC Foundation, Inc., either by mail to the Foundation at 197 Franklin Television and motion S t r e e t , picture star Ed Asner will Auburn, NY perform live at Cayuga 13021, or in Community College. person during weekday business hours.

Seating will begin at 2:30 p.m.
Orientation Express Fulton and Auburn Campuses 2010
by Crystal Wolfe, Editor-in-chief “The word for this semester is unity,” Kirk Bennett, Auburn SGO President declared during orientation. “I think it’s time students and faculty of both campuses start working together.” This semester the Orientation Express included leaders from students of both the Fulton and Auburn campuses who were trained on how to make the new students transition into college more smooth. Students went to four sessions where presentations were given on financial aid information, how to choose the right classes for your degree, MyCayuga, the latest software for
the college website, and the basics of college life and what you should expect out of Cayuga Community College. Lunch included Dinosaur Barbeque for the Fulton campus and the Auburn Campus hosted “ThinkFast,” a trivia game about general topics like music and movies where the most points were awarded to the students who gave the correct answer the fastest. During lunch at both campuses the clubs held tables where information for their events were given. For example, the drama club at Fulton might have a karaoke night, the
literary club at Fulton has book clubs and the literary club in Auburn publishes a literary magazine every semester. Tours were given of the campuses

Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Collegian Dear College Community, We are working on behalf of a young lady named Kayla Dudden. Her mom Kelly Dudden works in Human Resources. Kayla is currently a senior at Auburn High School. Kayla suffers from an extremely rare form of J.I.A. (Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis). J.I.A. is usually a treatable and manageable disease. However, Kayla suffers from an extremely rare form of the disease, which had made treatment very arduous and difficult. Kayla is currently undergoing an intensive regimen of chemotherapy and other drugs in New York City. This treatment has been both financially and emotionally exhausting for Kayla and her mom Kelly. The treatment has caused Kayla to lose her peripheral
vision as well as much of her mobility skills. Much of these physical losses will never be regained. On Saturday, October 30th 2010, our committee is having a fundraiser at the Ukrainian National Club to offset the medical and travel expenses for her family. One of our goals is to be able to provide Kayla with the opportunity to receive a mobility assistance dog. We need your help. I will have tickets available for the fundraiser in the Auburn Financial Aid Office. The tickets are ten dollars. I have dollar bracelets and 50/50 raffle tickets. I am also looking for raffle items and gift baskets for the fundraiser. Thank you, Jackie Darquea and the committee for Kayla’s cause
Crystallisms
Food for thought from Crystal Wolfe, your Editor-in-chief This is meant to be an introduction for myself and my column. This is my second semester here at Cayuga Community College but I am a transfer student from Purdue University in Indiana where I am from though never belonged and can’t really claim as my home state since I was born wanting to leave it. Through a series of mishaps and adventures I wound up here in Auburn and CCC, and right here, one by one all my dreams are coming true. One example is becoming the editor of this paper. I see Journalism as a platform for making a difference and the purpose of all my dreams is just that: to make the world a better place than I found it. As such, I am open and encouraging of any criticism about this paper in order to make it more interesting for the students who take the time to read it. This is a paper run for the students by the students so anyone who chooses to be a part of the Collegian is uniquely empowered to write about things that matter to them more freely than in most other published venues. It can be a one-time article about an event at the school or even a furious tirade on why the school cafeteria food is too pricey. I am open to any and all ideas and encourage students to write about something they are

really interested in because that will make their article and thereby this paper that much more interesting. The theme of Issue 1 is Unity and it is the goal of this semester between the SGOs and the clubs of both campuses to fuse together, as one school in two places, and a growing community that welcomes newcomers. This theme, coined by Kirk Bennett, Auburn SGO President, is perhaps the underlying personal passion of my life. To unite mind to heart and race with race and to recognize that beneath the external things like age or ethnicity we all just alike deep down and our differences are really what makes life so exciting. People need a community. We need friends, we need family, we need love. Who needs this needless drama? Who’s wrong that isn’t at least in part right, and who’s always right? No one. Who never, ever fails or makes a mistake? No one. Making mistakes are part of being human. So let’s let it go, roll with the flow, and concentrate on having fun and making life fun for other people. Let’s make getting through this crazy world together part of what life is all about. Remember: Two schools, one community makes two schools, one family...and lots more friends while we’re at it!

The word and vision for this year is Unity! The word and vision for this year is Unity! Too long has there been clicks and separation between clubs, campuses, and even between students. Cayuga C o m m u n i t y Kirk Bennett College may be Auburn SGO a 2-year college, President but this institution offers a lot that you may not see unless you are looking. Well, the Student Government is bringing it you this year upon both campuses, in your face can not miss it. Between the Student Government, 16 clubs in Auburn, 12 clubs in Fulton, and the Student Activities Board there is almost guaranteed to be something for everyone. If you find that there is no club made for an interest you have, it does not take a lot of effort to start up one as long as you find others who share your interest. We are an ever expanding college and are bound to nothing
but space. We believe that everyone should experience as much of what this college offers as they are possible. With the new MyCayuga site up and running, we will be trying to utilize this outlet for clubs to get their events and information out to the students. We understand that the site is in its infant stages and still a bit rough, but nothing worthwhile ever came easy. Diversity is a wonderful thing and everyone brings something to the table. We are here to learn and what better way to learn than from those around us? I challenge each and every one of you to go out this week and do something that you would not normally do. You might be surprised by the outcome; whether you meet someone you normally wouldn’t speak to or sit in on a club meeting. Your capacity for life is only limited to what you allow it to be. The Student Government is always up for suggestions as to what we can do to make your experience here at Cayuga a better one.
Welcome Back! Welcome back everyone! Hope you had a fun summer, and for those of you who had classes I hope you did well. Lots of events are being Kaleigh Stevens planned for this Fulton SGO year so be sure President to check out the bulletin board at the Fulton Campus located by the men’s bathroom. Currently we are running a 50/50 raffle; winner will be drawn at every $100.00 we raised, and half of all proceeds go to
the Catholic Charities Food Pantry. The next SGO Senate Meeting is September 24th at 11am in the BIC. All clubs are asked to send at least one representative to the meetings, but everyone is welcome to come! Be sure to check out the new SGO website https://sites.google.com/ site/cccstudentgovernment for information about all the clubs and be up to date on events and meetings for BOTH campuses. Also if you have any questions, concerns or comments about either campus clubs or SGO feel free to email us at: CCC.StudentGovernment@gmail. com.
From Your Student Trustee Hey guys, My name is Caryl Frame. I am your student trustee for this school year. The student trustee is YOUR voice at the board meetings once a month. I’m here for you and I love feedback. Please feel free to come up to me at anytime to share concerns, compliments or to just chat. I am in the SGO office on Thursdays from 2:30-4:30. Did you happen to notice
that the SGO office has moved? We are now located across from the security office, stop by and say hi to any of us. I have a question for you. I want to know what you think about the new rec room? Email me at cmframe12@gmail.com. Thanks, Caryl

The men and women Spartans have both started the season 0- 4 with home losses to Clinton CC, and North Country CC. They have also dropped road losses to Corning CC and Mohawk Valley CC.

A Look at the Club BASIC by Ashley Gilfus, Staff Writer, Auburn Campus Well, I don’t know about all of you but boy am I glad to be back in school. WHAT?! Yup, glad to be back. While I am enjoying my classes this semester, the main reason for my joy is that I get to see all my friends again. I don’t have a cell phone. Double WHAT?! So over the summer I really miss talking to my friends almost daily like I do during the school year. Friends are important; they influence you in so many ways. That’s way I’m so grateful for basic. Basic is a club at CCC. Its title stands for brothers and sisters in Christ. We meet Tuesdays in the cafeteria at 4:30 pm and listen to a message The CCC Libraries have added a new resource to their collection of electronic databases: JSTOR JSTOR is an online database of archived academic journals. It provides full-text searches of digitized back issues of hundreds of well-known journals. The content is unique and is not duplicated in any of the library’s other databases.

We are able to encourage each other to grow in our faith and offer each other moral support in hard times. It has been a strengthening experience for me and I greatly encourage anyone who is interested to come and visit us. “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another...” Hebrews 10:24-25

Why Buy a Hybrid? by Angela Wornick, Staff Writer, Fulton Campus What is a hybrid vehicle? It is a vehicle that has a traditional combustion engine; some run on gas some on diesel fuel and an electric component. The electronic component is generally a rechargeable battery system. The purpose of these vehicles is to reduce pollution in the form of emissions as well as decrease the consumption of fossil fuels. Now before buying a hybrid it is important to understand that not all hybrids are the same. There are full hybrids, mild hybrids, parallel hybrids, series hybrids and plug in hybrids. Many of these have subtypes as well so it is important to do your research to see what type of hybrid suits your needs. There are lots of options out there for someone who wants to “go green” when purchasing your next vehicle. Almost
every manufacturer out there has at least one hybrid model and some have almost as many as standard gasoline vehicles. Like regular vehicles many wonderful upgrades are available to you such as satellite radio, moon roofs, alternative upholstery colors and fabrics. There are cars like the Toyota Prius, SUV’s like the GMC Yukon Hybrid and trucks like the Chevy Silverado Hybrid. Every year the list of makes and models grow as vehicle manufacturers recognize the needs of consumers. As of right now the Toyota Prius holds the highest ranking for MPG’s and they also use more environmentally friendly materials than any other hybrid on the market. If a Prius is too small for all you soccer Mom’s and

Dad’s out there, the new Toyota Rav4 sport utility vehicle will be unveiled at the LA Auto show in November. Another important thought is that many Auto Dealerships as well as Insurance companies offer money saving incentives for those who choose to purchase a Hybrid. When it is time to purchase your next vehicle save yourself some money on the cost of fuel and do something for the environment, buy a hybrid!

Aries (March 21- April 20) Show off the last of your summer hotness this week. Charm the pants off everyone with your natural confidence and charisma. Smile, laugh, dance, and have fun! Summer may almost be over but there’s still lots of fun to be had in the fall. Just don’t have so much fun you neglect to get your homework done!
Taurus (April 21- May 21) Get your head out of your books and look up once and awhile at the people
around you. Say hello and ask them about themselves. Remember that school is about learning but it’s also about making friends that will last you for a lifetime. People really like you, give them a chance to show it.
Gemini (May 22 - June 21) With Mercury going retrograde you might have more problems communicating than others, although everyone will have more misunderstandings than usual. The solution: have fun with it. Laugh it off, smile and have a good time when the eloquent speech you practiced for speech class comes out like Silvester Stallone haven’t he’s had a few Red Bulls.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You feel like yourself again, which is loony bird funny and caring and sweet.
You’ve been a little moody lately but you feel like a weight has been lifted off of you. You’re ready your put your all into the club of your choice.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Everything is going to start looking up for you this week. Times have been tough
and you’ve gotten a little discouraged, though you’ve tried hard to put on a brave face. It’s all going to come together this week, so wear your big beautiful smile and keep the faith!
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) It’s time to call on your seemingly endless reserve of natural poise
and calm this week. Try to work through your restlessness and anxiety by using breathing exercises that help you with patience. You are already getting overloaded at school, and you are too kind to want to tell people no. Try to delegate away some your duties and thereby still get the job done.
Libra (September 24 - October 23) It’s time to whip out that million dollar smile you’re so famous for
and shine it on all who cross your path. Look up, Libra, look people in the eye and make them feel special like only you know how by making them know how special we all are!.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 22) You are so gifted intellectually, and also creatively and socially
that it is sometimes difficult for you to be around incompetence. You’re straightforward honesty is a wonderful quality you have but try to temper it this week with a little bit of diplomacy for those who things don’t come as easy to.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 22) Shoot for the stars, aim high, and ride a wave of
spontaneity, from one adventure to the next have fun on the journey to the galaxy. You are the most wildly successful person on the zodiac simply because failure is not in your vocabulary and you have perfect faith in everyone and even in yourself.
Capricorn (December 23 - January 20) You are great person but generally even at your most bright
you come across as a little aloof or snobbish. The thing is you have a sincere heart you just aren’t quite comfortable with showing it. Try to get outside your little world this week of work, school, work, school and allow more people into your life who encourage you to show more of your heart and fun-loving side.
Aquarius (January 21 - February 19) Things never come easy, but lately it seems like you’re riding a
pretty study ride of success. There’s been a lot of endings and beginning for you over the summer and now it’s time to let go and embrace the fact that all your dreams are coming true.
Pisces (February 20 - March 21) You are such a gifted caretaker that sometimes you neglect taking care of yourself. Allow your friends this week to lift YOU up and do for you. Allow them to show you that love you too and realize that you don’t need to DO things for people for them to adore you. Your wonderful sense of humor and caring heart is more than enough for people to appreciate you.

Summer is on it’s way out and a new semester has begun. That means that the Cayuga Collegian is back in full swing! In this little weekly column I’m going to do a local restaurant/establishment review. I should probably qualify myself at this point. I started in the restaurant business as a dishwasher when I was 15 and from there learned every position in the business. Bartending is my favorite! I have worked in some of the busiest and finest restaurants and night-clubs in the United States, including Dallas, TX, Boulder, CO, Ft. Lauderdale and Tampa, FL, Syracuse, Auburn, Skaneateles and Rochester, NY as well as Boston, MA. I have worked with some of the best chefs in the country and I currently work at The Inn Between Restaurant on Rt. 5, Camillus, NY-only a 15 minute easy ride from Auburn. The Inn is owned and operated by chef Chris Cesta and his wife Penny. They have owned the restaurant for many years and have a very loyal following and with good reason! I work there as a bartender and waiter, 5 nights a week (closed on Mondays). The food and atmosphere at the Inn
COSMO’S CORNER Between are exceptional; however, and with a little foresight and discipline a financially struggling college couple need not break the bank. Go in and try a cup of Lobster Bisque or split an order of Oysters Rockefeller (my favorite). There are several salads to choose from including the house “poppy salad” that features honey from the orchard out back and fresh fruit. Entrees include the always favorite “Medallions Neptune,” a combo of two tender fillets of beef topped with crab and lobster-yum! There’s always a nice seafood and veal special and the dessert offerings are scrumptious! So come out to the Inn Between and have an appetizer, your favorite beverage (full bar available) or even split an entrée and relax and enjoy the view! Hope to see you there soon! Cheers! - Jim Collins, CCC Student
AT THE MOVIES WITH
Christopher Lehman
Takers Takers was one of the most highly anticipated blockbusters of the season. I do not feel it lived up to the hype. The most disappointing aspect was how watered down the script seemed. There was no character depth and the movie seemed like every other heist film. The camera work was sloppy at some points, leaving me slightly dizzy after a few scenes. The main draw to Takers was its superstar casting, which includes Paul Walker, Tip “T.I.” Harris, and Matt Dillion. There were some things I was impressed with in the movie, like the actual action scenes. The stunts were done quite well and the plot twists were moderately clever. The bottom line is, I would not go see Takers in the theatres, but it is worth renting when it comes out on DVD.
