CAYUGABRIEFS Students raise money for Peggy Carroway Scholarship The CCC community was sad to learn of the sudden passing of CCC’s Peggy Carroway in November. According to Teresa Hoercher, CCC’s Coordinator Peggy Carroway of Tutorial Services, The Tutor Club raised $1,480.00 for the CCC Foundation Peggy Carroway Scholarship selling Hofmann hots and soda at the Holiday Craft Fair in December. Peggy was a dedicated worker, helping students with disabilities learn for more than 15 years at CCC.

SUNY HAS BIG PLANS: ‘FINISH IN FOUR’ By Kelsey McLean, Co- Editor-in-chief
S U N Y chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher has big plans for the state. Big, big p l a n s . What kind of plans, you ask? The kind of plans that SUNY chancellor involve a Nancy L. Zimpher whopping sixty-percent increase of students getting their bachelor’s degree in just five year’s time. That’s 93,000 to 150,000, far from a puny goal. Zimpher’s end goal is to emulate the ‘Finish in Four’ campaign, a combined front by the University
of Buffalo, Fredonia, Oswego, and Potsdam. The ‘Finish in Four’s banner is that all students who enter the system will be able to get their desired bachelor’s degree in four years or less so long as they prioritize school first and keep up a good GPA. While it’s too soon to say whether or not it’ll affect graduation rates, as the first affecting class will be the class of 2016, so far the system has been an overall success with increased grades across the board. Predictions have placed the graduation rate increasing as high high as 60% -- exactly where Zimpher needs it to be. But the money required to keep these promises hasn’t been cheap, and the price tag will only get steeper if it’s applied to the rest of SUNY. UB hired at least 150 additional instructors and added
300 courses, and then some, to meet the requirements, adding up to a whopping 7.5 million dollars... and that’s just UB. Governor Andrew M. Coumo, who had promised more funding in public education, has laid out a cool 987 million dollars for the SUNY program, which is quite the jump from the measly 7 million last year -- but that’s still short of the 1.1 billion the SUNY board of trustees had asked for. Still, it’s a start, and an important one if SUNY is serious about increasing its graduation rate. Zimpher has said on record that she can’t lay out any concrete plans for program just yet, saying that ‘We cannot make make futuristic changes on yesterday’s dollar.’ But she promises to ‘...Be ready, because this is what New York needs.’
THE OFFICIAL STUDENT-RUN NEWSPAPER OF CAYUGA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Should you trust government? Not yet Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Sheldon Silver, in trouble. By Kelsey McLean, Co- Editor-in-chief
OPINIONS Here’s how I see it!
Kelsey McLean Being as embroiled in the news as I am, I try to keep on top of everything that happens about the news just as much as it’s on the news... and I’m no fool. I see the way newspapers are becoming more and more digital, with more focus on getting the word out there first, and less on what the word actually is. So I often wonder - what is the fate of news as we know it? It feels like we’re living in a time where not even the news itself knows what it wants to be. It’s almost like I live in two worlds. A world where print newspapers are still the ‘in’ thing, where people don’t mind waiting or taking their time for a good story, and a world where everyone knows better than to waste their time with because you never know when breaking news is going to strike again. A world where this is no news, just Google. I can’t say either is wrong, either. Accuracy is important, it always is, but there’s no point in being accurate if you can’t get your ‘accurate’ and ‘trustworthy’ news in on time. It might be a damn good story, but you’ll still be last in the race. It’s a bitter thing to think about as a journalist, and especially unpleasant for one who writes for a print newspaper, but it’d be even more unpleasant to pretend that nothing’s changed at all... only to wonder why you’re the one standing in last place at the end of the day, working as hard as you’ve always had, and yet with nothing to show for it -- not even a cheap plastic medal. The best writers, of course, adapt and thrive. That’s why so many successful newspapers like the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times have updated themselves to an online client, following the lead of the digital only Huffington Post. Now they’re as successful as they always were before... but not, on paper. The newspaper is a three century year old institution. It is the very backbone of our society and our government as we know it. There wouldn’t be an America without it. It’s a sobering thought to think it won’t be around anymore, and like this? With a whimper? Not a bang? I don’t think it’s quite there yet. I still see people reading newspapers from time to time-- sometimes it even feels like they’re reading them more than ever before. So I’m not sure. Maybe it won’t. Maybe it never will. But if it will, it will, and there’s no changing that. Progress sheds no tears, after all. It only does what it thinks is best.

Just when you thought it was safe to trust your government, think again. S h e l d o n S i l v e r , speaker of the New York Assembly for nearly two decades, has been charged with taking over four million dollars in bribes and kickbacksduring his tenure. Charged on the 22nd, the arrest followed a slow, but truly earthshattering, six days as one of the giants of Albany crumbled away into nothing but dust. Albany came alive the very moment the news became public on the New York Times. Lawmakers and assembly members were dragged out of bed to be given the shocking news. Their response, at first, was overwhelmingly positive -- almost defensive. The Democratic Party believed in their leader, their friend, and was devastated to see him go. They would, of course, stand by him all the way. Why wouldn’t they? But as details started to creep in, whispers of manipulation and bribery that made Al Capone seem like a saint, so did doubt. “How bad is it?” An anonymous lawmaker asked Todd Kaminsky, a fellow Democratic assemblyman who had originally worked as a publiccorruption prosecutor. “It’s really, really bad.” It was about then that the idea of a resignation started to come into play. Silver had already been highly criticized for what Preet Bharara, Silver’s prosecutor, calls the ‘Three Men in a Room’ system, in which he, the governor, and the senate majority leader lock themselves in a room and decide the state’s finances, policies, and major

Suspicious, yes, but now positively horrific with this new information brought to light. Their apprehension only heightened as Silver announced his ‘Gang of Five’ plan. In Silver’s absence, he would place five trusted allies to handle his duties as the speaker... but he would keep his title, of course. Albany might have been confused, disorientated, and surely lost, but they certainly weren’t stupid. The final nail had been hammered into the coffin. On Monday, the writing was on the wall. “I’m going to beat this,” Silver confidently told the assembly, before he left the room to let his assembly members decide just what to do with him. Some applauded. Most stayed quiet. Everyone,
perhaps even Silver himself, knew that his fate was sealed. By Tuesday, Silver awkwardly shuffled into a conference room, declaring his resignation to his former colleagues and allies, and awkwardly shuffled out, reduced to a wanted man and a whipping boy. No one asked him to stay. No one asked him anything, at all. And so, a chapter finally closed on Albany. While it’s easy to feel optimistic, the future is still uncertain. For the first time in 21 years, a new speaker must take Silver’s place. For many, Silver was the only Speaker they’ve known. What does this mean for New York? Will things change for the better? Or for worse? Only time will tell. All that is known for sure is this -- change is in the air.

Harriet Tubman Presentation held at Thompson Memorial AME ZION Church By Caleb Slater, Co-Editor-in-chief Last Wednesday, January 28th, guest speaker, Kimerly Cornish gave what she called a “Presenversation” (a presentation with conversation) on Harriet Tubman in contemporary visual culture. The purpose of the presentation was to discuss how Harriet is being represented in this time of “post black art.” Many
examples were discussed including the google doodle that sprung discussion in February of last year, as well as the life-sized mold of Harriet made by Madame Tussauds.
Congress has endorsed turning Harriet Tubman’s home in Auburn, New York in a National Park. There was also discussion of the very controversial “Harriet Tubman
BEWARE: Texting and walking could be hazardous
Sex Tape” by Russell Simmons and the actions that were taken to remove the content from YouTube. The presentation was essentially an analysis of how Harriet and her legacy is being represented in the modern day world, within the artistic world, as well as the virtual world. The speaker, Kimerly Cornish, is a native of Cambridge, Maryland, as well as a descendent of Harriet Tubman. She has a Bachelors in English, with a specialization in creative writing and is currently applying to attend Graduate School at Cornell University in their Art, Archeology and Visual Studies. She has also been a co-curator, curatorial assistant and editorial assistant for a variety of historical projects. In addition, Cornish has published articles in Thompson County Weekly, as well as, The Inca
Harriett Tubman Is modern media tarnishing this hero’s legacy? Journal for Contemporary African Art. In addition to the presentation there was a guest appearance by a representative from Senator Chuck Schumer’s office to discuss the current status of making the Harriet Tubman home into a national park. Recently, it was approved by both the Congress and the Senate, so the next step will be transferring the deed from the locals to the national park list. Afterword, the Department of Interior will allocate a piece of their general funding for the Federal Year 2017, which will essentially fund the park on a long term basis. Once those steps have been taken, a representative from the park service shall arrive on site to start implementing the plan for how the park will run.
By Shaquella Newby, staff writer Are you ever in a rush for class but an annoying crowd always seems to be in the way? Most of us can probably assume that majority of the crowd is on their cellphones texting, searching the web, or getting a phone call. Ignoring the world and walking slowly without looking where they are going. This action can cause several types of accidents. There are many videos shared on social media showing people doing just that—walking into traffic, falling, and even one woman who worked at a shopping mall, walked and texted her way into the mall’s center water fountain. Dangers of texting and walking can happen right at CCC. Just before class time, there are many people in the hallways of the college. If your head is down looking at your phone as you walk, you could accidentally
bump into the person in front of you injuring that person or yourself. Not paying attention while you are walking may lead you into a wall or even a fall because you did not see “caution wet floor” sign on the floor. “It’s annoying when I’m trying to go to a specific place, and I am unable to beat the crowd because a person wants to be on their phone. Why don’t you just wait until you’re seated in your class or sitting down somewhere?” says Zhane Holmes, a CCC student on the Auburn campus. If students stay off their phones in the hallways of CCC, it most likely will cut down the chaos and the hassle from going to one class to another. Please think about others next time you decide to be on your device and help prevent an accident.

SUNYSA Supports Get on Your Feet Loan Forgiveness Program Albany – The Student Assembly of The State University of New York (SUNYSA) advocates for almost half a million students that attend the 64 campuses throughout the state. Making student loans more manageable has been a priority issue for the SUNYSA Executive Committee. As such, SUNYSA is in support of Governor Cuomo’s announcement of “Get on Your Feet Loan Forgiveness Program.” This program will not only assist students with the burden of student loans it also encourages graduates to remain in New York. “The Student Assembly has long advocated for a substantive response to the increasingly serious issue of student loan debt. The governor’s new program is an aggressive move to address what has turned into a debt crisis: $1.2 trillion dollars nationally and counting, with the average New York graduate walking away with nearly $30,000 in high interest indebtedness” states Lori Mould, SUNYSA president. “In addition, we are thrilled to see that our dialogue is being taken seriously and we wholeheartedly support this and similar initiatives.” For students meeting the following qualifying criteria, New York State will pay the first two years of student loan repayment: • Attend college in New York • Continue to live in New York
• •
after graduation Participate in the federal Pay As You Earn (PAYE) loan repayment program Earn less than $50,000 per year
SUNYSA Director of Government Relations, Rey Muniz, III, has been working on the issue of student loan affordability and states, “The fact that student loan debt has reached such a critical point is a travesty in and of itself. Students are investments not profits and that is something that the governor recognizes in this program. We cannot continue to saddle the up and coming generation with crippling debt; we have to give them a fighting chance. That is precisely what the governor is saying and students everywhere support and appreciate that message.” About the Student Assembly of the State University of New York The Student Assembly of the State University of New York (SUNY SA) is an organization comprised of student leaders elected by their peers from across SUNY’s 64 campuses. Empowering students throughout the state, the SUNY SA is committed to student life and ensuring the representation of its members on the state and national level as well as throughout the SUNY system.

Basketball Spartans having a tough season By Dustin Albino, Sports Editor
SPORTS GO SPARTANS! GO SPARTANS! GO SPARTANS! GO SPARTANS!
The Cayuga Community Spartans Men’s Basketball team has had a rough 2014/2015 season thus far. The team is on a current 11-game losing streak after. Scoring has been a problem for the team this year. The Spartans are only averaging 58.5 points per game. The lack of converting on free throws has hurt the Spartans in the close games that they have had this season. In the mixed of the 11 game losing streak, they have lost 3 games by less than five points. Sophomore Mike Guity is averaging 13.8 points per game this season. He has been the leader of the team, and the younger guys look to him when called upon. On the defensive side of the court, it is Guity and DaVaughn Johnson who are leading the way respectively, averaging 7 rebounds per game. Though the majority of the Spartans are freshman, it will be a key factor heading into next year with something to build on. These next five games will be crucial with the mindset of going into the offseason. The Cayuga Community Lady Spartans have improved from last year. Last season, the Spartans only won two games. With five games remaining on the season, they have already won eight games. Due in part to the better season is the production from sophomores
Maxine Williams and Allison Chase. Williams is averaging a team-high 14.8 points per game. Chase is averaging a respective 11.8ppg. On the defensive end it is Shaqueria Everson who is grabbing down over 10 rebounds a game. However, the Lady Spartans free throw percentage is fairly low,
54.4%. The improvement for the team could be contributed to the recruitment that Coach Jim Alberici and his staff has done. Williams and Chase are the teams lone sophomores. Every other player is a freshman, thus the future is looking on the upside for the Lady Spartans.
NASCAR: Jeff Gordon—what a career; what a legacy By Dustin Albino, Sports Editor Jeff Gordon is a legend. He is the man who really launched NASCAR into the popular sport that it is today. Even if a person doesn’t like NASCAR, they know of the name Gordon. Whether they saw it come across the television screen, heard it from a friend or if they are a diehard race fan, everyone knows the “Rainbow Warrior.” His name is one that could arguably be entered within the debate of “the best overall race car driver of all time.” For more than 20 seasons, Gordon has brought NASCAR to an upperechelon sport. Auto racing has come from what many think is a “redneck sport,” to one of the most popular sports in the United States. And for the past 23 seasons, Gordon has been the face of the sport. But on Jan. 22, the 92-time race winner announced that he will take a step back from auto racing following the 2015 season. Gordon refuses to use the “R” word (retire), because he doesn’t know what the future holds. As far as being a fulltime Sprint Cup driver, this is it for he and Hendrick Motorsports. There are many reasons as to why 2015 is the last full-time season for him. Ever since a vicious crash into the inside wall at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2007, Gordon has been battling a bad back. With the addition of being a parent to seven-year old daughter, Ella, and his four-year old son Leo, he has
begun to see life beyond racing. Numerous competitors of Gordon chimed in on social media showing their respect for the career of one of the best. Many of these drivers grew up watching Gordon, including Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, AJ Allmendinger and Kyle Larson. Even the likes of Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson showed support of their friend. Fellow Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. tweeted “I will never forget the day my dad introduced me to Jeff Gordon in 1994, at North Wilkesboro Speedway.” “This kid is going to be special.” “Special” sums up the career of Gordon. Four championships, 92 wins, 320 top-fives, and 454 top-10s says it all. He also has 77 poles and has led almost 25,000 laps. What a career. What a legacy. “Winning the inaugural Brickyard 400 was most special to me,” said Gordon. ’It really bums me out that I haven’t won under this format. We’ve been close, but haven’t won it, and I’m using that as motivation in this final season to run for the championship and to go out there and get it done.” As a five-time winner of the Brickyard, Gordon knows a thing or two about winning the big races. He is also a three-time Daytona 500 winner, as well as a three-time CocaCola 600 winner. Gordon’s accomplishments will go down as some of the best ever for anyone who wheeled a NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series car. But as his last full-time season is rapidly approaching, it will be an emotional rollercoaster for the entire No. 24 team in 2015. He will visit all 23 tracks on the circuit for the last time as a driver, and if he can record a win at Kentucky, he will have won at every track on the circuit. 2014 was one of Gordon’s best seasons over the past decade, and he was at the top of his game every week, leading at least one lap in 26 of the 36 races. He had his best shot at his luxurious fifth championship in many years, but came up just short. This will be an emotional season for everyone involved in racing. When
SERVING THE STUDENTS OF CAYUGA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS!
a fan goes to the track this season, it could potentially be the last time they see one of the best ever strap-up into a race car for their last time in person. “I think the chances are pretty good that Homestead will be the last race you ever see me in, he said” There is no doubt that Gordon will be a first ballot hall-of-famer when he becomes eligible. His name is high on the ranks of all-time greats beside Earnhardt, Petty, Pearson and Johnson. It would not be surprising if Gordon goes out on top with a fifth championship. There will never be another Jeff Gordon.

Fractured
by Casey Pinder
Behind Closed Doors
Shivering as the cold seeps into bone. Aching…. Breaking…. Hairline fractures deep within a heart of stone. Dancing on razor blades, Painting the dusk in hues of deepest crimson. Breathing…. Gasping…. As snowflakes brush past winters ice-blue kiss. Take these hands while you steal a frost bitten token, Dying for a lovers wish. Breaking for long dead desire, Passing silent ‘cross these lips. Pressing fingers to the window pain of a forgotten life. Just an empty husk. A shadow of my former self. Passing invisible, Just a specter in the whirling snow
Marks on tender thighs Leave the reminder Of last nights passion Sitting in a dark room With eyes black as charcoal Hands in head rocking The mind trying to forget his love The bedroom door creaks eerily Heart pounding Skin trying to hold stead fast To the flesh that binds the bones His foot steps sounding like Double barrel gun shots cause nails to dig in To the floor bracing its captor For the blow that undoubtably Rips her from her soul once again
Second Place by Steven Nagy
Consumed
The mind, from secret places that stretch from sea to sea, To the smallest of memories. Of all the things that could be on his mind? Why does it always come back to her? His mind searching for every little detail, from the feel of her finger-tips to the fragments of scattered color in her eyes. It strives to know, to understand something he knows so little about. Trying to reveal those brief seconds. If only he knew? Maybe those seconds wouldn’t have passed so quickly. His mind just wanders. He sits back in his chair, Consumed, noticing a blank sheet of paper, So I write.
Blood flows now like a crimson river From the once beautiful asset Called her nose That’s not all that’s broken Lying face down on the lint carpet As life is ripped away For the final time She thinks to herself: Life was good once
Honorable Mention by Christopher Ossit
The Silent Thoughts of a Storyteller These are the silent thoughts of a story teller
upon opening the book the precursor says: Take this moment to reflect; but even when my eyes are wide open the World isn’t as vivid as I portrayed it, these sites are stained in my mind like soiled memories on a card that keeps getting reread, hoping one day to relive that moment. Only thing is, it’s the past and not tomorrow how am I to push forward, to make a new era? it’s only been three years and you still haven’t left, everything still fresh as the scent on your neck, and God, I miss that scent. So wishing upon a star in the heavens will only make me long for another Chance to see my fallen angel again in this story book Of fantasies and fairy tales. When will my silent words ring out?
