Sitting at a Denver bookstore in 2002, Kate Fagan did not choose to tell her mother she was gay, it was a necessity. “I had engaged in a pattern of lying by omission that was really eating away at me,” Fagan said Tuesday in front of a full Sheldon Ballroom. “And while I didn’t actually solve it going forward, I did at least put a stake in the ground at that moment to lie a little bit less to my parents.” Even after she came out to her family and teammates on the Colorado University women’s basketball team, Fagan did not come out publicly until 2011. Following Fagan’s graduation in 2002 and a few years playing basketball professionally, she began writing as a journalist. One of Fagan’s most widely recognized pieces came as a writer for ESPN and ESPNW. In 2015, she completed “Split Image,” an investigative story about suicide victim Megan Holleran, who, at the time, was a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania. Since then, Fagan expanded her concept for “Split Image” into the book “What Made Maddy Run” and has consistently chosen to promote awareness of mental health and anxiety in sports. “So many of the stories that I work on now, the sole pursuit is to try and redefine how we see weakness and vulnerability,” Fagan said. “It used to be when I was playing college sports that anybody who couldn’t finish a sprint or had to step out of practice, I just thought they were totally weak.” The concept of self-care resonated especially well with junior Mabel Muñoz, a wellness and development major. “A lot of athletes feel that they have a lot of pressure that [nonathletes] won’t understand,” Muñoz said. “And I completely, 100 percent agree with that because I will never understand what you as athletes go through. But at the same time, we’re here for you as well.” Pressure was something Fagan keyed in on, not only in sports, but in her own life after becoming a

A case of West Nile Virus has recently been discovered in Oswego County. West Nile Virus is a virus contracted by mosquito bites. It is not contagious by human contact. Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia have reported cases of the West Nile Virus in the past. Though 1 in 5 people who have the virus actually experience symptoms, it is always imperative to take precautionary action to prevent getting bitten by mosquitos. Climate change is one factor for the spread of the disease because the prolonged warm weather is causing a high number of mosquitoes to thrive in the environment. According to Dr. Jiancheng Huang, the director of the Oswego County Health Department, infected mosquitoes generally pass the virus between birds, mammals and humans. He further mentioned how there is no vaccine to prevent contracting the virus, but there are ways people can prevent getting bit by an infected mosquito. Symptoms of West Nile Virus infection, called West Nile Fever if not linked to a neurological disease, include fever, fatigue, muscle pain, nausea and rash according to the Mayo Clinic.

vent getting bitten by mosquitoes. The Rice Creek Field Station, where many Oswego State students study, is an example of a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes because of the stagnant water. Oswego State junior biology major Daniel Hatch said he feels as if no one should feel alarmed. The reason for this is the West Nile Virus is difficult to prevent from spreading.

West Nile Virus can cause neurological diseases, such as encephalitis, or swelling of the brain. It can also cause inflammation of the spinal cord, or poliomyelitis.

Taisha Khalil Contributing Writer news@oswegonian.com A domestic abuser can be more than just a significant other, which was the focus of the Break the Cycle event on Oct. 2. The presenters from Two and a Half, Emely Curiel and Cheick Traore, asked the audience what they think domestic violence is. Sophomore Tony Jones said he thinks domestic violence is violence within a relationship, whether verbal or physical. Curiel and Traore defined domestic violence as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Curiel and Traore said there are different forms of abuse: economical, emotional, physical, sexual and psychological. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 20 people per minute are abused with one of these forms in the U.S. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men are abuse victims and 90 percent of children are exposed to domestic violence. The room was split in half when discussing the pros and cons of hitting children. Some people thought it was completely acceptable to beat or hit a child. One audience member said that there is a difference between abusing kids and hitting them. She said abusing children has the intention to hurt them, but hitting or spanking them has the only goal of teaching them a lesson and stopping bad behavior. However, the other half of the room suggested that hitting children will create the domestic violence pattern. They said hitting children will probably lead them to think it is okay for someone to hit them, and they will accept a relationship with an abusive partner. When this statement was said, those on the pro side counterargued their parents hit them and they turned out alright. One person in the audience said that she is a decent person who does not tolerate domestic violence. However, those on the con side said that their parents never hit them and they also turned out to be decent people. One person said her parents did not have to hit her for her to respect them. She still fears her parents as much as a child who is subjected to corporal punishment. This debate took up more than half of the presentation that the presenters had to take control and

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Life is really hard and complicated, and I think that keeping a sense of empathy, even for people you disagree with, is really helpful.” -Lindy West, author and journalist

Oswego State associate professor awarded School of Education faculty member honored for work in community Kassadee Paulo Asst. News Editor kpaulo@oswegonian.com Maria Murray, an Oswego State associate professor in the curriculum and instruction department, recently received two awards for her work in literacy assessment and intervention in the Central New York area. Murray was awarded the 2017 Perry A. Zirkel ’66 Education Faculty Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Teaching. Zirkel is a university professor of education and law at Lehigh University and has made an impact on the education field. The award goes to a professor who contributes greatly to their profession’s field. Kristen Munger, associate dean for the School of Education at Oswego State and 2016 recipient of the award, nominated Murray. Murray has been an associate professor for both undergraduate and graduate levels in the department for the past 10 years. Literary assessment and intervention helps children who are learning how to read with a gap in their reading level and works to bring them up to grade-level or close to it. Murray received her master’s degree in special education with a concentration in learning disabilities and her doctorate degree in reading education from Syracuse University. The CNY Reading Council unanimously voted and awarded Murray with the 2017 Celebrate Literacy Award for her work as founder and CEO of the Reading League, an organization based out of Syracuse, New York, to promote literacy by teaching evidence-based reading instruction and assessment. The CNY Reading Council is an organization with a mission “to provide professional enhancement, service opportunities and networking possibilities in order to promote

personal and professional growth for those interested or involved in the field of literacy,” according to the organization’s webpage. “I was quite shocked and excited. It’s nice to be recognized by people I respect,” Murray said. Murray began The Reading League with the mission “to build educator knowledge of how to teach reading using evidence-based, highly effective methods of reading instruction and assessment,” according to the organization’s webpage. The Reading League consists of volunteering researchers and educators, a paid coordinator and a paid teaching coach. Each month, the organization hosts events with varying topics and teaching methods for about 200 educators in the CNY area. For teachers unable to attend, each event and presentation is recorded and posted online. “Because of what Maria has

started, more teachers are using effective, research-based instruction in their classrooms, which is resulting in more children learning to read proficiently,” said Stephanie Reed, a reading teacher at Donlin Drive Elementary School in Liverpool, New York. Reed began following The Reading League about a year ago and frequently attends the events because she said she admires the organization’s stated mission “to bridge the gap between reading research and evidence-based reading instruction.” Reed said she often incorporates information she learned from The Reading League when she works with the staff at Donlin Drive Elementary School during professional development. “There are a lot of ways of teaching reading. Some kids will learn to read no matter what method, and some need a specific method,” Murray said.

A4 NEWS Kate Fagan shares journey through athletics, media Happiness discussed as part Discusses social issues, mental health in college, professional sports of Oz Talks program run by P2P THE OSWEGONIAN FRIDAY, Oct. 13, 2017

FAGAN from COVER journalist. Prior to coming out, Fagan worked her way up from a local paper in eastern Washington and eventually became the Philadelphia Inquirer’s beat writer for the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team. Despite her climb up the employment ladder, Fagan was not putting forth her best work, she said. “I just distanced myself from everybody I worked with, and when I got down to the Philadelphia Inquirer, I would say that not being open about who I was, was a problem in terms of being able to be very good at my job,” Fagan said. After she came out as gay, it broadened her scope of journalism and allowed her to write with empathy, an emotion her stories had previously been missing, Fagan said. Since then, Fagan has repeatedly used her perspective to discuss the topic of women in the sports world, whether in ESPN the Magazine, online or on TV. This includes ESPN’s sports debate show “Around the Horn,” on which she consistently appears. “Every time I was in the production room, I would fight to get women’s sports stories in the program,” Fagan said. “That was so hard. It was so hard because people started to notice that I would talk about female athletes or women’s sports if I won ‘Around the Horn’ and then all of a sudden, the feedback looped to me was, at every turn they were like, ‘Nobody cares about female athletes or women’s sports.’” According to Fagan, one of the reasons women’s sports struggle is because they receive significantly less media coverage than men's. If female athletes were featured in media more often, it would make fans more aware of events in women’s sports, making them more invested, Fagan said. “Let’s reverse that for one week,” Fagan said. “All of a sudden, you’re flipping through your TV and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, is that the Minnesota Lynx? I know Maya Moore, she played for [the University of Connecticut], and I want to see how she’s playing against Diana Taurasi.’ These are things you’d say.”

The concept of women in sports is not new, but it has not reached a level of stability either. “I just believe that there needs to be more representation of women across the board, sports being one of them,” Tracy Chamberlain Higginbotham said. Higginbotham, an Oswego State graduate of the School of Business, has been an entrepreneur for more than 20 years. Her current goal is using her networking company, Women’s TIES, to promote women’s businesses at spring events, as well as to increase attendance from female fans at women’s sports. “Something that I added to my company five years ago was a women’s athletic network because there are so many women that don’t support women’s sporting events,” Higginbotham said. “For example, the [Syracuse University] women’s basketball team that did so well a couple years ago.” The group referenced by Higginbotham was the SU team from 2016, which advanced past the second round of the NCAA

women’s tournament for the first time in school history and ended up being the national runner-up. Despite the success, the following season, the team averaged less than 1,500 fans through the first dozen home games, according to a February 2017 article by the Syracuse Post-Standard. That directly relates to two of the key components that Fagan said inspire audiences to attend athletic events or watch them on TV: storyline and stakes. The storyline matters because it provides context on the event, while the stakes are about how much the outcome matters. Despite the relevant storyline and major stake produced by the previous year’s success, not many fans were enticed into watching the team. This is a problem that permeates throughout women’s sports, even at the international level. “Don’t tell me it’s because someone can jump really high,” Fagan said. “I think that’s fun every once in a while, but we see women’s sports during the Olympics. You know the storylines, you know the stakes, you don’t tune in.”

Alexander Gault-Plate News Editor aplate@oswegonian.com Director of campus ministry for the Newman Center, Michael Huynh, asked students to think about what makes them happy at Wednesday’s Oz Talk. Huynh presented the “What Makes You Happy” Oz Talk on Oct. 10 in the Mackin main lounge. He presented to students on the foundations of what science shows makes people happy and healthy, first showing a TED talk given in 2015 by Robert Waldinger titled, “What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness.” In the TED talk, Waldinger cited the Harvard Study of Adult Development, of which he is currently the director. The Harvard Study of Adult Development is one of the longest-running scientific studies on human adults and is still running today, according to the Harvard Gazette. The study began in 1938 with a group of men in Boston. Some were from Harvard, others were from the poorest areas of the city. Former President John F. Kennedy was one of the Harvard men to be studied. The research sought to track everything about the men’s lives with a series of interviews, questionnaires and medical scans of their bodies. The original members of the study are in their 90s now or have already passed on. According to Waldinger, the data from the study has shown that meaningful relationships are proven to have more bearing on overall happiness than any other factor. People who reported higher levels of happiness in their 50s subsequently reported better health and satisfaction in their 80s. After the TED talk ended, Huynh got back up in front of the group and asked them to reflect on what they thought made them happy. Huynh told a story of what made him reconsider what made him happy. As a teenager, he went on a service trip to a very poor country and met a family living in a school bus. That family, even though they had nothing, were so content in what they had, and Huynh said he reflected on what he needed to care about after seeing their priorities. Huynh then opened the platform for students to ask questions. One student asked how to find happiness with social media. Huynh replied with another question, asking what

the depth of a relationship through social media actually is and if there is a genuine connection in that relationship. "Do we find happiness within, or do we always look for approval?" Huynh said. Huynh said he decided to cover the topic of happiness because he believes everyone wants to be happy. "Everyone has a different idea of what [happiness] might be, so I just threw out some open-ended questions to get people thinking about that," Huynh said. The Oz Talks program had requested that Huynh present a talk with them. "I give talks in classes all the time, and my work at the Newman Center is about these kinds of topics," Huynh said. The Oz Talks program is run by Peer2Peer, a part of the Oswego State Counseling Services Center, that focuses on mental health and wellness for students by opening up topics students may not be fully aware of. Oz Talks is managed by peer educators, like Darian Fenton, who is in her first year with the program. "I think a lot of students don't have the opportunity to have these kinds of topics discussed in their lives," Fenton said. The next Oz Talk, "Masculinity and Mental Wellness,” will be given by director of campus life, Earnest Washington, in Oneida Hall on Oct. 24.

Oswego community shares viewpoints on protest Issue of kneeling for national anthem discussed by veterans, professors Ryan Zalduondo Asst. Sports Editor rzalduondo@oswegonian.com On a national level, kneeling protests in the NFL have divided countless people both politically and socially, and the debate has trickled down to small communities throughout the country. Specific to Oswego State, there are countless diverse viewpoints from both students and professors about the recent protests. Since the issue is deeply rooted in politics and media, campus veterans and media professionals alike have an array of opinions on kneeling. Oswego State student Lawrence Paice, a six-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, has a very personal experience on the national anthem in the NFL. “On the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, [the] Chargers were playing the Vikings while I was in San Diego,” Paice said. “They needed volunteers to parade the flag and stretch it across the field during the anthem, so me and about 10 of my buddies got the opportunity to do it. That was my first NFL game I ever went to, and it was probably one of the neatest things I had a chance to do while I was in the Navy.” Paice, a native of Cato, New York, expressed negative feelings about protests in the NFL, saying there should be no room for protests in the workplace. “Just like somebody acting in a movie, they should just do their part, do what they’re paid for,” Paice said. “As professional athletes, if they wanted to hold a press conference, go ahead. By all means. Until then, just shut up and play.” Brian Moritz, a professor at Oswego State and former sports journalist at the Press & Sun-Bulletin, offered a perspective of how sports media handled the coverage on the topic and how he felt it should be handled on both a professional and local level. “We’re not talking about the specific issues, we’re talking about the mode of protests,” Moritz said. “It becomes about who you agree with, not about the protest itself, and that’s kind of disappointing.” Moritz defended the players' right to protest in the workplace, citing a 2015 incident where a Kentucky court clerk exercised her political views to prevent gay marriage and was hailed a hero.

"She was protesting in the workplace,” Moritz said. “Is it okay for her to do it and not the NFL players?” On a smaller local scale, Moritz changed his stance on whether athletes would be able to protest injustice due to past court rulings. “At the high school level, the [Supreme] Court has ruled that schools have more power to punish speech that is disruptive to the stated learning process,” Moritz said. When it comes to potential protests at Oswego State, Moritz said it is in the hands of the students to decide if and how they choose to protest because they are not strictly prohibited by law. “At the college level, courts have generally allowed for more freedom of speech,” Moritz said. “Traditionally, the idea of a public institution is to spread knowledge and to talk about ideas, to protest.” At Oswego State, there are hundreds of student athletes who have differing opinions on the protests and how they would handle it during the playing of the National Anthem before one of their competitions. Senior Justin Hoagland is both an infielder for the Lakers baseball team

and an active duty member of the National Guard. “I think a lot of people in the military feel the way [NFL players] go about these protests is in the wrong light,” Hoagland said. “You shouldn’t be doing it during the national anthem because of what the national anthem stands for.” Hoagland expressed that he knows each person has their right to a peaceful protest, but the Whitehall native does not agree with the way that it has unfolded. “We don’t disagree with what they’re trying to do, just the way they’re going about it,” Hoagland said. “We all signed up to defend the constitution, so that’s their First Amendment right.” As a member of the baseball team, Hoagland said if any of his teammates chose to kneel, there would not be any major backlash toward them in the clubhouse. “It is their right to take that knee,” Hoagland said. “I think there would be some negative feedback from some of the guys, asking them what they’re doing or why they’re doing it. A lot of the guys would say ‘What do you need?’ but go about it in a different light.”

A5 NEWS Prevention suggested for West West shares experience growing up as larger woman Nile Virus, testing available Gives viewpoints as femenist, professional writer in modern age THE OSWEGONIAN FRIDAY, Oct. 13, 2017

WEST from COVER “Even if you take all of the precautions you can to prevent it, it is not necessarily 100 percent effective,” Hatch said. Hatch works as a zookeeper at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York. He and other zookeepers administer West Nile Virus vaccines to some of the birds, including flamingos and roseate spoonbills. Though he feels that no one should be on edge, he does agree with health officials that one should try to take as many precautionary measures as possible to decrease the chances of contracting the West Nile Virus. “Prevention would be using insect repellent when you are outdoors. Wear long

sleeves and pants from dusk to dawn when mosquitoes are most active,” Angela Brown, director of the Mary Walker Health Center, said. “Make sure windows have screens without holes or tears. Reduce standing water around your home.” To get tested at the health center, blood tests are done to find the virus in a subject's blood. To get tested for West Nile-related diseases like encephalitis, a lumbar puncture would need to be done at a hospital. The lumbar puncture procedure, or “spinal tap,” is a procedure where a sample of spinal fluid is taken and tested for an increased white cell count. This is the most common way to diagnose West Nile Virusrelated meningitis.

Domestic abuse against children, men, brought into view of public BREAK from COVER stop the discussion. The debate on whether corporal punishment is effective took over half the time allowed for the presentation. The presenters had to take charge and stop that discussion before they continued on. The conversation switched to a discussion on violence against men. Curiel and Traore said that 1 in 10 men are raped in the U.S., and in 2010, more men became vocal about

being victims of domestic violence. Although women are more likely to report domestic violence or sexual abuse in the household, men are just as susceptible to trauma and anxiety as female victims. The presenters closed the presentation with statements on their current takes on domestic violence. Traore said that domestic violence is a cycle that needs to be broken. “I used to hear about it, I just never did anything,” Curiel said. “Now, I have the opportunity to do something.”

AUTHOR from COVER trying to hide her big body and her even bigger opinions. As an adult, Lindy is still fighting now against other comedians over their use of rape jokes and internet trolls harassing her for her ideas and her size,” according to the Oswego Reading Initiative website. West visited Oswego State on Wednesday, where she spoke for the Living Writer Series, held a lecture and signed her book. Students, faculty and outside members of the Oswego community packed into the Sheldon Hall Ballroom where she read aloud passages of her book and discussed their meanings among more current issues and ideas. “I completely agreed with everything I read, and it opened my eyes to ideas of body positivity a little bit more than they already were,” Sara Fralix, a student at Oswego State, said. During the lecture, West revealed why she always tried to make herself smaller, physically and socially, when she was growing up. She credited her negative body image partly to the lack of positive heavyset female role models in literature and television. Many of the big characters in cartoons and animated movies she watched as a child were either villains or “sexless maternal figures,” West said. “[Lindy West] definitely presented confidence,” John Hanover, an Oswego State student, said. “I thought she was funny.” The passages West read included humorous stories, such as when she was

young, she shoplifted a single bean from the grocery store and her mother made her return it to teach her right from wrong. She credits this experience as allowing herself to become less “clinically shy.” “For me, the process of embodying confidence was less about convincing myself of my own worth and more about rejecting and unlearning what society had hammered into me,” West said in her memoir. West also read serious passages where she felt embarrassed, such as the time where she bent over to pick up a napkin and a picnic table flipped over on top of her along with a personal pizza. The memoir chronicles her experiences with learning to accept her body through a series of humiliating anecdotes.

Men should spend more time reading women's memoirs." - Lindy West Author of "Shrill"

“Please don’t forget: I am my body. When my body gets smaller, it is still me. When my body gets bigger, it is still me. There is not a thin woman inside me, awaiting excavation. I am one piece,” West said in her memoir. West was also an avid reader as a

child, and she realized in more recent years that a majority of the books she read were written by men and had male protagonists. She also noted that several of the pieces of literature, including memoirs, written by women are largely read by women, leaving out half of the population, and have covers that are considered to be more feminine. “Men should spend more time reading women’s memoirs,” West said. West also noted that “fat is a feminist issue,” in that society expects women to be small, both physically and opinionatedly, she said. When West found her voice, she was criticized for her loud opinions and her large body. “I do understand what it’s like to get a little pushback if you stand up for what you believe is a feminist issue,” Allison Schmidt, a visi t i ng a s s i s t a n t p ro fe s s o r i n t he history department, said. “Just being able to see somebody do that and be happy and successful is very inspiring.” Shrill, according to MerriamWebster dictionary, means to “utter or emit an acute piercing sound.” We s t t r a n s f o r m e d t h e n e g a t i v e connotation of this word into the title of her memoir where she tackled the criticism she has received throughout her lifetime. “Life is really hard and complicated, and I think that keeping a sense of empathy, even for people you disagree with, is really helpful,” West said.

NEWS Circle of Security works to educate parents Using scientifically proven methods, parents learn to nurture children

Alexander Gault-Plate News Editor aplate@oswegonian.com Oswego State psychology professor Matthew Dykas has worked to spread research-based parenting methods to Oswego and surrounding areas since the mid-2000s with the Circle of Security program. The Circle of Security has been operating for nearly 20 years and uses the methods and ideas put forth by attachment theory. According to simplypsychology. org, attachment theory states that children are much better adjusted to normal human society when they have developed a strong relationship, or attachment, to at least one primary caregiver. Attachment theory focuses on the effects of separation from a parental figure early in life, which it says can lead to breakdowns in social, emotional and cognitive development. Dykas said that even when he was a college student, he was fascinated by the concept that Circle of Security put into action, using the theory of attachment to teach parents how best to interact with their children. “I’m an attachment theorist, and I’ve done a lot of scientific research, but what’s the use of science if you can’t actually use it to help parents and children?” Dykas said. Dykas’ involvement with the program stretches back to when he was a graduate student. He says his mentor collaborated with the founders of Circle of Security, which was under development at the time. “I was in awe of what they were doing because there’s a lot of universitybased scientific research,” Dykas said. “They were able to take the science and make it into a practical program for parents.” The ultimate goal of the Circle of Security network is to provide an evidence-based intervention program for parents and children that focuses on relationships, according to its mission statement. Dykas said one of his favorite aspects of the program is that it is not a judgmental service. He says many parents believe that if they use the program, the educators will tell them all of the things they are doing wrong as parents and how to raise their child. Instead, Dykas says that the pro-

gram is based on building parents up on their strengths. “We go into this program and we say ‘Listen, here are the things that you’re doing right, let’s build on that,’” Dykas said. Dykas also said the research-based nature of the program is a major reason he is involved. “Anybody can help people, and that’s the thing … But, is there evidence that it actually works?” Dykas said. “The programs that I use, there is scientific evidence that this stuff works.” Dykas’ involvement with the Circle of Security is focused on training more people to educate parents. On campus, counselor and human development professor Craig Gilkey has undergone the training. “I do provide the training for parents,” Gilkey said. “I actually run a men’s group in the county of Oswego.” Dykas’ work with the Circle of Security program recently received funding and resources from the Richard S. Shineman Foundation. The foundation, named after the same man as the Shineman Science Center, seeks to serve the broad needs of Oswego County and Central New York, according to its webpage. The foundation partners with area nonprofit organizations in order to improve the quality of life in surrounding communities.

The Richard S. Shineman Foundation granted $26,100 to the nonprofit Prevention Support Partners of Oswego County, started by Dykas and managed by the Oswego State psychology department. The nonprofit is the means by which Dykas and his partners administer training in the Circle of Security program to people in the area. Dykas said he expects that the grant will be a huge help in spreading the information he works to share with parents. "It’s going to explode,” Dykas said. “A lot of parents are going to be affected by this in the coming months.” The grant will be used by Prevention Support Partners of Oswego County to educate 15 other community members, from nonprofits like the Catholic Charities, Child Advocacy Center and the Hillside Family of Agencies. Oswego State alumni are also involved in the program. “One student was a psychology major here. She ended up getting her master’s degree here, and now she’s working for the Child Advocacy Center in Fulton,” Dykas said. “Now she’s coming back to get trained in the Circle of Security.” Dykas said that he hopes current students will get involved as well. “This is an opportunity for students if they really want to affect parents,” Dykas said.

SUNY gives in-state tuition to victims of Hurricane Maria

Move occurred within week of formal request from Gov. Cuomo SUNY will offer in-state tuition rates to students from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands seeking to attend the university system. The move comes after Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked the system to allow students from the two U.S. territories to attend at the rate usually only given to students from New York. The usual method for students to receive in-state tuition is for them to spend a year in the state to establish a residency. In-state tuition at a four-year SUNY school is $6,530, while outof-state tuition is $16,320. The move allows students to save $9,790 per year.

The move will take effect for the 2017-2018 academic year. The SUNY Board of Trustees voted on Oct. 6 to pass the measure, which Cuomo had requested less than a week earlier. The call for reduced tuition for students from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands comes after Hurricane Maria, which devastated the two U.S. territories. Weeks after the storm, Puerto Rico is still without electricity to most of its citizens, and it is expected that months will pass before full electrical coverage can be reinstated. "In the wake of the devastation of hurricanes Maria and Irma, I applaud the SUNY Board for responding to

my call and agreeing to offer instate tuition to students from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands who have been displaced by the storms," Cuomo said in a press release. C u r re n t l y, a b o u t 2 1 5 s t u d e n t s from either Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands are students in the SUNY system. This was not the only outreach effort from New York state to the p e o pl e a f fe c t e d by t he d eva s t a tion of the hurricane season this year. SUNY Maritime College, in the Bronx, sent a ship loaded with supplies to those affected by Hurricane Irma and is sending another ship to aid those affected by Hurricane Maria.

Hall of Fame Inductee Ranks

Luke Scoville Sports Editor lscoville@oswegonian.com Oswego State Athletics will be hosting their Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony dinner this Saturday, as well as recognizing the inductees at halftime of the Oswego State vs. SUNY Geneseo men’s soccer game at Laker Turf Stadium. The following seven former Laker athletes will be inducted into the Oswego State Athletics 2017 Hall of Fame class.

No.1 Ron Benwell / Class of 1960

Benwell tops the list as he was a two-sport athlete for soccer and baseball during his four years at Oswego State. He was well known for his success on the men’s soccer team, where he set many records that include registering the most points (55) and scoring the most goals (26) in a single season in 1959 season. Benwell would end his soccer career by being named All-New York Second Team and All-SUNYAC First Team in his senior season.

Gerald Lynch Staff Writer sports@oswegonian.com Oswego State Lakers men’s soccer (6-61/1-5-0) kickoff Homecoming Weekend with Friday’s match against the College at Brockport (7-3-3/2-1-2). The Lakers are desperately seeking a homecoming weekend sweep over the College at Brockport and SUNY Geneseo. They currently rank eighth out of ninth place in the SUNYAC standings. The Lakers are a point out of sixth place, the last qualifying spot for the SUNYAC Playoffs. “We’ve been playing really good teams,” head coach Dan Kane said. “I believe we’ve gotten better, but we had two bad weekends and the competition has stepped up, but right now were searching for that confidence to help us make a final push.” The Lakers have suffered five consecutive matches in a row, all against SUNYAC teams. Last weekend, they went on the road and suffered two close defeats against Buffalo State and SUNY Fredonia. The Lakers have been outscored 13-6 during their fivematch losing streak. “We have to communicate better. We’re going to play deeper to allow ourselves to have that space in behind their backline,” Kane said. “We had success playing the counter earlier in the season, so we think that gives us our best chance to win,” Kane said.

The Lakers were able to string together 27 goals in their first five matches, but have failed to match that pace in their recent fixtures. Offensively, they have slowed down even though they have the conference leader in points, Hassan Musa. “Offensively, we have not been able to find our flow, but I think that changes on Friday,” Musa said. The College at Brockport has been carried this year by a very strong defense, one that Kane refers to as “a defense that does not make mistakes.” The Golden Eagles have allowed only two goals in their previous three matches. Kane has been emphasizing in recent practices that the Lakers’ forwards must put pressure on the opponent’s backline if they want to pull together victories. The plan heading into Friday is to play the counter attack. That starts with the backline dropping back, midfielders marking the middle, wingers pressuring the full backs and strikers allowing no easy passes. “We’ve been training really hard,” Kane said. “These guys have a ton of energy and we had a bad couple weekends, so we are definitely looking to perform at our best this weekend.” Many of the opponents’ goals in recent games have come off mistakes from the Lakers. Bad passes from the backline and mistakes in the middle of the field seem to be the problem for the Lakers. “We’ve got to be better and we will be

better,” Tim Ritch said. “That starts with myself and all the guys that play the majority of the game.” Ritch is the captain for the Lakers, and he does not like to lose. The Lakers have failed

No. 3 Steve Serling / Class of 1977

Serling was nothing short of succesful with his time at Oswego State. Winning three SUNYAC titles with the Lakers and led them to their best finish in a NCAA Championship in 1976, coming in seventh place. Serling stayed loyal to Central New York after his time in Oswego and started up the Le Moyne women’s golf program in 2010. He would go on to retire in 2015, when he was named Northeast-10 Conference Coach of the Year.

No. 4 Tracey Donovan Fanning Class of 1992

No. 5 Dennis Luzon / Class of 1974

No. 6 Tom Lynch / Class of 1973

Lynch, similar to Serling, led the Laker golf team and qualified for the NCAA Championship in all four years of his career. Lynch was an honorable mention as an All-American when the Lakers placed 17th in the 1971 NCAA Championship. His 73 in the 1972 season and winning in a onehole playoff gave the Lakers their fifth SUNYAC title in six years.

No. 7 Ed Nicholson / Class of 1959

Nicholson joins Luzon as the 17th and 18th members of the Laker wrestling team to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. Nicholson started his collegiate career at The Ohio State University, but decided to transfer to the port city for his last two years of college and be closer to his hometown in Watertown, New York. Co-captain of the Laker wrestling team his junior season, Nicholson went 15-1 on the mat, with a team-high 45 points, and paced the Lakers to a 7-1-2 record.

Lakers hope to shake off five consecutive losses as they remain in SUNYAC playoff hunt

No. 2 Brian DeFeo / Class of 1998

Luzon was Div. III All-American and finished in sixth place at the 1974 NCAA Championship his senior season. In 1973 and 1974, he was runner-up at the SUNYAC Championships and finished fourth and third those two years in the New York State Championships.

Men’s soccer set to host Homecoming Weekend

DeFeo was a legendary men’s ice hockey player and is the youngest Laker athlete to ever be inducted into the Oswego State Athletics Hall of Fame. His senior season, he was named to SUNYAC Player of the Year, First Team All-SUNYAC and Second Team All-American. DeFeo scored 55 goals in his career in 110 games played and is sixth all-time in assists for Laker men’s ice hockey with 124.

Just the second Laker women’s cross country runner to be inducted, Fanning made a name for herself after qualifying for the NCAA Championship twice in her four years at Oswego State. She earned individual honors at the 1988 and 1990 Oswego Invitationals, helping the team take first place honors those both years as well. Prior to her induction in Oswego State Athletics Hall of Fame, she proved her worth by being the first women’s cross country athlete ever to be inducted into the SUNYAC Cross Country Hall of Fame.

to reach the SUNYAC playoffs since 2014, the season before Ritch transferred in. Ritch is the vocal leader on and off the pitch for this team and believes his team is not done yet. “We can’t look back. We always got to look forward but never too far ahead,” Ritch said. “Just go out there, play the best we can and hopefully get the results we want.” The Lakers have been in a goalkeeping battle throughout the season between freshman Brian Terra and last year’s starter, Evan Bogucki. “We haven’t totally made the decision yet,” Kane said. “We feel confident in both of them, and they both did really well in training earlier, but that’s a decision we’ll make before game time,” Kane said. Terra has allowed 17 goals through 10 matches of play and has recorded a total of two clean sheets. Bogucki has played four total matches and has allowed four goals through that span. The battle will continue, but as of right now, it looks like Terra will be the goalie judging off recent matches. The Oswego State Lakers play the College at Brockport at Laker Turf Stadium on Friday at 3 p.m., then SUNY Geneseo Saturday at 1:00 p.m. at Laker Turf Stadium. “We have class all over the field,” Kane said. “If we’re combining and working hard off the ball, we can break down any team that stands in our way.”

First-year transfer easing through Women’s tennis aims to do transition from club to Div. III well in SUNYAC Championships Joe Porpora Staff Writer sports@oswegonian.com Since transferring from University at Albany this past year, Shauna O’Flaherty has surprised many here at Oswego State with her strong play so far this season. This is O’Flaherty’s sophomore year, but her first as a Div. III volleyball player with Oswego State. O’Flaherty played first for Albany’s club team last season, though she was recruited by many SUNY schools such as SUNY Morrisville and SUNY Cortland to play Div. III. O’Flaherty played three years of varsity volleyball at Walter Panas High School. During that time, she was named All-Section, All-County and AllLeague. She was even a state finalist in 2015. Even with a stellar high school resume and Div. III schools trying to recruit her, O’Flaherty was more interested in going to a bigger school like University at Albany. “I did have a few schools looking at me, but I kind of wanted to go to a bigger school at that point, so I decided to do club instead,” O’Flaherty said. Even though she had fun playing club at University at Albany, she decided it was time to transfer after her freshman year. The main reason she wanted to come to Oswego State was because of the broadcasting program.

“Volleyball wasn’t really the reason I wanted to transfer. It was more for the school,” said O’Flaherty. “They have a business in broadcasting program, so that really interested me.” Although she came to Oswego State primarily for the broadcasting MBA program, O’Flaherty still wanted to play volleyball at a high level. She liked how playing at Oswego State would be more of a commitment. Once she became interested in Oswego State, O’Flaherty reached out to head coach J.J. O’Connell. “She sent me videos, so I had an idea of some of her skill sets,” O’Connell said. “I knew she could pass pretty well, but I think her offense has far surpassed anything that I had expected.” O’Flaherty figured that since Oswego State was Div. III in volleyball, there would be a chance that she could come on and play. She said the transition process onto the team was smooth and that all the players and coaches were very welcoming to her. “Once I became interested in the [Oswego State], I reached out to them because I thought since it’s Div. III, I would have a possibility of playing here,” O’Flaherty said. “It all went smoothly, [McConnell] was really nice about it. He was very welcoming and very informative of what to expect if I came here.”

Ben Grieco Staff Writer sports@oswegonian.com The Oswego State women’s tennis team is slowly approaching the end of their 2017 season. This coming weekend, they will be heading to Binghamton, New York, to play in the SUNYAC Championship tournament. Despite an overall record of 3-7, head coach Shane Evans is happy with the season and the direction that the team could possibly be heading in the upcoming seasons. “I’m actually very impressed with the season, despite the win-loss record,” said Evans. “The matches have been a lot closer this year. I’m very happy with where this team is going.” At the end of the regular season, the team faced some close matches against teams like Plattsburgh State and SUNY Fredonia. Three losses resulted in a 4-5 loss for the Lakers, including a 3-6 loss. Had one more match gone their way, the record could’ve been a lot better, according to Evans. “I think we could’ve won any of them if we won the final match,” said Evans. “Tennis can be really backand-forth. Any of them could’ve gone our way.” Overcoming the challenges that have faced the team all season is Haru

Kobayashi. The Tokyo native has won eight of her 10 matches this season, all in singles. As a strong leader on the team, Evans described her as very reliable. “She’s confident with herself on the court,” said Evans, who is in his third year as head coach. “She has such a good attitude, which is very infectious with the rest of us. It keeps our spirits high. Nothing really gets her down, which is why she has such a good record.” With the final match of the regular season occurring on Oct. 12 against St. John Fisher College, the team now looks toward the SUNYAC Championships. While the team has an 0-3 conference record, with losses to SUNY Fredonia, SUNY Geneseo and The College at Brockport, none of that matters for the weekend. “We’ve just got to have confidence going into this weekend,” Evans said. “We know that we’re not out of it just because we’re 0-3. If we stick to the plan, we should be set up well.” Junior Lorrayne Broach is also embracing this coming weekend. She is hoping that this weekend becomes a team effort to show conference rivals their potential, despite what they might have seen during the regular season.

Lauren Fie

Volleyball Sophomore, Corning

Grupp was a key contributor in both women's soccer comeback wins last weekend, scoring her first goal of the season on her senior day. The Charlottesville, Virginia native anchored a defense that allowed only two goals in two conference matchups. Her game-tying goal in the 52nd minute against SUNY Fredonia, the 12th of her career, pushed the game to two overtime periods, where teammate Emma Geyer was able to capitalize and win the game for the Lakers.

Fie had an outstanding performance in volleyball's four games over the last week, including two pivotal conference wins at home in SUNYAC pool play. The Corning native had a team high 36 kills over the four-match span and the highest hitting percentage for the Lakers over the week, with .406. In the Oct. 7 loss to SUNY Potsdam, Fie led the Lakers with a career-high 15 kills and a .565 hitting percentage. On the season, Fie ranks fourth on the team 109 kills through 20 matches.

After a blazing 6-1-2 start, men's soccer has continued their losing streak, dropping five straight contests all in SUNYAC play. Being outscored by a margin of 13-6 over this span, the Lakers have fallen to the bottom of the conference with a 1-5 record. Now 12 points behind conference leading SUNY Cortland and SUNY Oneonta, the Lakers are looking to get back on track and enter in playoff contention.

Allison Sullivan leads Lakers volleyball with 151 kills on the season, averaging out to 2.02 over her team-high 75 sets played. The junior is just one of four players with over 100 kills at this point in the season, and 17 more than the 134 from Shauna O'Flaherty. Oswego State as a team ranks seventh in the SUNYAC with 736 kills through 20 matches.

Field hockey aiming for their best season since 1985

B33

Lakers have not finished with winning record in 31 seasons Matt Watling Staff Writer sports@oswegonian.com The average cost of a movie ticket was $2.75 the last time the Oswego State Lakers field hockey team had a winning season. That same year, 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union and Nintendo released their Nintendo Entertainment System to the North American markets. Now, that same movie ticket costs an arm and a leg, while Nintendo has created a gaming console that can be taken on the go. The point is, a lot has changed since the Lakers, last winning season, but the team looks to erase that this season with a winning record. Oswego State field hockey is an impressive 5-4, 2-1 in conference play, which is good for fourth in the SUNYAC, only behind SUNY Oneonta. Oct. 3, the Lakers lost their first game in nearly a month to No. 20 William Smith. Although they lost 5-1, head coach Heather Moore loved what the game was able to do for her team to prepare them for the next game against the College at Brockport. “I think it was an opportunity to set the bar. We played really, really well

against that team, despite what the score said,” Moore said. “And taking what we learned from that game and into the game at Brockport. In that game [against William Smith], we were disciplined, we set the pace of the game and rose to the challenge of the game. So, setting a new expectation was important.” Setting the pace played a huge role in their victory over the 2-10 College at Brockport Golden Eagles. The Lakers recorded their first shutout of the season, winning the contest 1-0. Something even more impressive was Oswego State’s ability to limit the Golden Eagles shot output. The Golden Eagles mustered up a mere seven shots on target. This allowed senior goaltender Sarita Charap to stay fresh and confident throughout the game, giving Charap her first shoutout in 16 games dating back to last season. “It was a combination [of good defense and good ball control]," Moore said." In the first half, we struggled a little bit defensively to get our bearings. But at halftime, we stepped it up, and that led to us getting more offensive opportunities.”

Alex Shevchuk | The Oswegonian Field hockey has not finished with more than seven wins in a season since 1984 when they finished 13-5.

This low-scoring style of play is something we have not seen from Oswego State in quite some time. Up until this game, the average goals scored per game was six, but it is certainly sustainable over the course of the rest of the season. In the first three games, the Lakers were giving up four to five goals a game, but since then, the team has played extremely well. A big part of that is the familiarity they have established with their new head coach and her system. Since it is a new season, with a new head coach, the Lakers needed time to adjust. According to senior midfielder Monica Harvey, the team has done that. “[It took time] getting in our groove,” Harvey said. “In the first few games, it was new coach, new things, so once we got out there and knew what we were doing [tactically], it went a lot smoother.” With their groove found once again, the Lakers have been able to limit the opposition’s scoring chances. Most importantly, this solid defensive effort has propelled the offense to produce more shots and in turn, more high-quality chances. Coming down the stretch, the games will become a lot less high-scoring and more defensive, where teams will need to grind out wins. This style favors Oswego State, as they already play a style that emphasizes ball possession because they only have four subs. With just five games remaining in the season, the Lakers have set themselves up to not only finish above .500, but also make a run at the SUNYAC Championship come playoff time. “It comes down to the little details with what we are doing individually and how that feeds into our unit as an entire team,” Moore said. Looking at their schedule, the Lakers will have five contests to complete their goal of having their first winning season since the end of the Cold War. Through those games, the Lakers have three pivotal conference matches remaining. Oswego State will play SUNY New Paltz and SUNY Oneonta at Laker Turf Stadium, two teams who rank ahead of them in the conference standings. These games, as well as the Oct. 14 match up against SUNY Geneseo on the road, will be major factors in determing whether or not they will qualify conference playoffs beginning on Nov. 1.

Club baseball combines leadership, comraderie to create fun product on field

Bartyzel, Troelstra collecting accolades for club team, helping continue winning ways for remainder of season Michael Reilly Circulation Director mreilly@oswegonian.com While October is most commonly associated with postseason baseball heating up in the MLB, it is also the same time the fall season of the National Club Baseball Association is heating up. That is certainly the case for the Oswego State club baseball as they get ready to enter their third series of the season this weekend and they take on SUNY Geneseo in a two-game set. Oswego State goes into the matchups with a 3-3 record, which included taking two out of three in a series with Niagara University two weeks ago. The series also saw two the of team’s players receive NCBA weekly accolades. Junior pitcher and outfielder Tom Bartyzel was awarded pitcher of the week after finishing out the Niagara series by tossing a no-hitter in a 14-2 Oswego State victory. “It was really cool. I definitely wasn’t

expecting it because I walked a lot of guys,” Bartzyl said. As for his pitching strategy throughout the game, Bartyzel kept things simple and stuck to what was working. “Just really my fastball. I really didn’t throw much off-speed pitches. I just pretty much threw fastballs every pitch. My catcher basically told me they’re not gonna hit [my] fastball, so if [I] can locate it, just keep throwing it,” Bartzyl said. Freshman Justin Troelstra took home the NCBA Player of the Week award, which saw him bat .778 with four homeruns and five RBIs. Like Bartzyel, Troelstra also found the honor to be a surprise. “It was kind of unexpected. I was surprised with my own performance. This was my first breakout game,” Troelstra said. “I really feel like I found my swing well.” Troelstra elaborated on how he went about fine-tuning himself in the batter’s box. “I try to hit when I can, like back home over the summer, I would hit with my brother," Troelstra said. "I guess it’s just

the muscle memory of repetition and repetition, kind of pays off every once in a while.” Another thing both Bartyzel and Troelstra have in common besides astonishment over their accolades is optimism toward their team play going into the spring season. “We have a great group of guys,” Troelstra said. “We all get along real well. I’d say the whole team’s pretty dedicated to each other and to the team, so it’s a pretty good group of guys to be around and play baseball with.” Bartzyl projected confidence about the skill set of all members of the team. “I think we got a lot of talent." Bartzyl said. "A lot of these guys should be playing college baseball somewhere. I mean, I used to play Div. II, but yeah, we got tons of talent. If we could just get on the same page and get everyone going at the same time, I think we could probably beat anybody.” One of the more interesting things when it comes to club baseball is that at most colleges, the coach is also a player on

the team. Oswego State is no exception, as junior outfielder and president of the team Mike Drummond also handles the coaching duties for the team. He explained some of the challenges that come along with pulling double duty. “Trying to focus on the game and what I do in situations and also pitching changes, who’s in the game, who feels good, whose arm’s alright,” Drummond said. “I think the most important thing is injuries. If you have a lot of injuries in people’s arms, they can’t throw for a while they can throw for like an inning. Changing people around, what position they can play and can’t play, stuff like that, that’s a challenge.” Drummond expressed his thoughts on the team’s overall play so far and which aspects they can improve moving forward. “We started off not really hitting, but in the past few games starting with [Troelstra], we started hitting really well out of nowhere,” Drummond said. “Defensively, we just need to sharpen up and hopefully make the playoffs this year. That’s our plan.”

Campus Recreation Report: O’Flaherty feeling at home in Laker uniform Champions crowned in softball Sophomore’s emergence gives Lakers edge in closing stretch Austin Tanner Contributing Writer sports@oswegonian.com Another exhilarating week of intramural sports consisting of more playoffs and more champions crowned throughout the leagues. Two teams came out victorious in both the co-rec competitive and men’s competitive softball leagues. The flag football leagues continue to charge toward the end of the regular season, while soccer also wrapped up their regular season. In the co-rec competitive softball league, the No. 1 seeded Blazin’ Jays squared off against the No. 4 seeded Ball Busters in the first game of the semifinals. Ball Busters led the majority of the game heading into the final inning of regulation play. However, Blazin’ Jays got the final swing, scoring two runs in the fifth to pull ahead to win 6-5 and advance to the championship. On the other side of the bracket, No. 2 seed, The Reigning Champs were supposed to take on No. 3 seeded Dingers and Dongs, but forfeited the game, automatically sending Dingers and Dongs to the championship game. Moving on to the championship, Dingers and Dongs came to play, and showed up Blazin’ Jays, taking the championship by a score of 13-1. Over to the men’s competitive softball league, Aikeys and The Meatballers met on the diamond in the first game of the semifinals for an exciting game. Throughout the game, both teams put up a good fight, taking

the score back and forth between every inning. But in the end, The Meatballers would come away with the victory in a score of 11-7, advancing to the finals to play the L.A Riots, whose game against Caught Looking was forfeited. In the finals, top-seeded L.A. Riots looked to cap their undefeated season against The Meatballers, but alas, their record will have to wait another season. The Meatballers gave it everything they got despite being down a player, ultimately coming out on top, winning in 13-4. In the men’s competitive 7v7 flag football league, both the Townies and Team Pheonix sit on top of the standings, tied for first place and were in their final games of the regular season this past weekend. Team Pheonix took on The Hurricanes and demonstrated why they are at the top of the league. Team Phoenix took this one 43-0 and showcased excellent teamwork to remain undefeated. Townies took on Boonk Squad and similar to Team Pheonix’s win, came out on top big 51-6, staying on top of the leaderboards. Over to the soccer leagues, ‘Can I Kick It?’ of the co-rec recreational League took the first place spot away from Rooney Toons. ‘Can I Kick It?’ came out victorious in their final regular season game 4-1, over FC Winterfell. Also inching their way up the leaderboards, the 5-2 Scrambled Legz put on a performance against Class Kickers, winning their regular season finale 9-0 and securing a spot in the playoffs.

O’FLAHERTY from B1

As a transfer student, O’Flaherty knew it would be tough getting to know people, but her teammates have been very welcoming to her. “They’re [teammates] all really super nice. They’re all very friendly and welcoming,” O’Flaherty said. “As a transfer, it’s kind of hard to come into it. Being a sophomore, there’s already a group of friends, but they’re all very welcoming and inclusive.” O’Flaherty has wasted no time making a big impact on the team. She is second on the team with 134 kills and second in points with 171. Coming from a situation where she has not played Div. III before, nobody really knew what to expect from O’Flaherty, but O’Connell is very pleased with her play. “[O’Flaherty]’s great,” O’Connell said. “She’s a much stronger blocker than I would have expected and she’s really good about reading the hitter. She’s got little things to work on still, but she’s been pretty stable.” Last year’s team struggled with ball control, so O’Connell knew coming in that O’Flaherty’s skill there would help the team out a lot. “Some of our ball control issues we had last year, I knew Shauna was going to address some of those with her great passing,” O’Connell said. O’Flaherty was not expecting the

amount of success she has had the season either. Coming into the season, she did not know what to expect. She just wanted the opportunity to go out there and play. “I didn’t really know what to ex-

pect coming in,” O’Flaherty said. “I was hoping to play, and that’s all I really wanted, just to practice and be a part of something. To come in, play and do well with the team is definitely a good thing.”

son. While she wanted to accomplish a little more this season individually, she was impressed with how the team came together this season. “We’ve definitely made some headway this season,” Broach said. “Everyone’s behind each other, one hundred percent.” Along with Kobayashi and Broach,

Kobayashi returns a volley in her match against SUNY Oneonta on Sept. 18 at Romney tennis courts.

Evans is looking toward some other players to shine during the championships. He not only wants to see how his senior class performs, but watch what freshman Bridget Bender can do in this kind of situation. Generally, he wants to see some solid gameplay and positive attitudes from everyone. “She’s been a crucial addition to our team as a freshman,” Evans said. “I’d like to see how she competes under tournament pressures.” The freshman has been a decent singles player all season. She also served as Broach’s partner during doubles, and the pair won a few matches throughout the season together. Broach is looking forward to how Jill Burns plays this weekend as well. Burns previously played at Broome Community College before transferring to Oswego State. “I want to see everyone play well, but definitely Burns,” Broach said. “She’s been fighting through the season, and she definitely earned her spot.” After the match against St. John Fisher College on Oct. 12, Evans does not have a specific goal for SUNYACs, but a goal for the team as they move forward into next season after the weekend concludes. “I want the team to realize we haven’t been out of this, just because of the losses,” Evans said. “We’ve been close every match, and with some new additions next year that I’m hoping to get, I want to hopefully be middle of the pack next season.”

Cuomo gives hope to students Tip of displaced by recent hurricanes the hat... Girard Bailey Staff Writer opinion@oswegonian.com There is no reason not to offer instate tuition rates to those displaced by the recent hurricanes. Similar measures were used in 2005 when people were displaced by Hurricane Katrina, according to “Higher Education Today.” It would be wrong not to offer the same aid to those devastated by these recent hurricanes as was offered to those displaced in the past. Tens of thousands of people have recently been displaced by hurricanes Maria and Irma. This is devastating for everyone affected. University students have not only lost access to their campuses, but many feel that the time and money spent toward their incomplete education has been for nothing. It would not be a stretch for those affected by the hurricanes to say their lives have been ruined. Gov. Cuomo has recently suggested that he would like for SUNY schools to offer in-state tuition rates to those students displaced by the hurricanes. Students who live in New York state pay less for tuition than those who live out of state. It is of vital importance that people have the opportunity to receive an education. Not only New York, but the nation as a whole espouses the idea that all people deserve the opportunity to better themselves in life, even if policies do not

always reflect that idea. Furthermore, it is necessary, in order for society to continue to function, that all generations receive an education. All human beings deserve a fundamental right to an education. This is not to say this measure will fix everything. Things will still be difficult for displaced people. Universities are very expensive to maintain, and college tuition is costly. Most undergraduate and graduate students agree. Many in-state students will already struggle to afford tuition. For those displaced by the hurricanes, in-state tuition will help relieve a burden, but there will still be a significant struggle to afford education, having lost their homes, jobs and everything they have. Education is only one of many issues displaced students are currently facing. Not all people displaced by the hurricanes should have to go to New York. Other states could also offer in-state tuition rates to displaced people currently living there. While there are budgetary concerns, more economic assistance could be offered to students, both those displaced and those already attending SUNY schools. New York state spends millions of dollars on advertising. Many argue that this money is wasted. Advertising funds could be reallocated, and education is just one of several areas that could benefit from those funds. While offering instate tuition rates is undoubtedly a good first step, perhaps further measures are necessary to help all those affected by natural disasters.

Stunning annual report numbers

Faculty email reiterates disturbing epidemic plaguing campuses Lola Breton Staff Writer opinion@oswegonian.com On Oct. 3, every Oswego State student received an email from the faculty. That email was sent to announce the issue of the Annual Security and Fire Report. It was probably forgotten, unopened or quickly overviewed, and that is a shame. Thirteen: That is the number of rapes that have been reported to the school’s officials in 2016. Considering the fact that a school year is only eight months, more than one rape per month was perpetrated last year. Oswego State is not the only school to issue that report. The Jeanne Cleary Act requires colleges to do so, and for every single one in the U.S., the numbers are striking. Society and the constant pressure witnessed by people around victims of rape is keeping a lot of them from coming forward. We seriously have to wonder what kind of country, and world, we live in if standing up for ourselves and other rape survivors against aggressors makes us crazy. Money, as usual, and reputation are at the core of the issue. Of course, colleges do not want to write on their recruitment pamphlets the numbers of rapes that happened on campus. Imagine receiving your acceptance letter with this document attached. Imagine putting yourself into debt for the rest of your life to move into a dorm where

dozens of students get raped every year. Using these words might put everything back into perspective. At Oswego State, some actions are taken to curb those infuriating numbers. The school is implementing the principles of Title IX. Title IX coordinators are present on campus to handle any claim of discrimination based on gender, which includes sexual assault. Additionally, every single student club, including Greek organizations, is required to participate in a Title IX training. It’s on Oz is also very active on campus for Sexual and Interpersonal Violence Preven-

tion. These actions are more than some other universities provide for their community. Still, the numbers speak for themselves. Students need to act out for their campus to be the safest place around. As a young American, as the future of the nation, they need to take action to make sure that these numbers keep on decreasing. Students need to believe claims of sexual assaults and report them constantly, wherever and whenever it happens. Be furious, be passionate and dare to be the crazy one.

Cam reveals his own ignorance

Trump tramples women’s right Newton seems baffled by woman’s sports knowledge to fair contraceptive coverage Erin Newell Staff Writer opinion@oswegonian.com

Taylor Woods | The Oswegonian Women who no longer have access to birth control through their employers may soon be on their own.

Lola Breton Staff Writer opinion@oswegonian.com It happened once again; President Donald Trump and his administration decided to take care of women’s ovaries. On Oct. 6, the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services co-signed an executive order to make it easier for employers to deny insurance coverage for birth control. This time, the reason for continuing to cut Obamacare’s innovations one day at a time is a favor done for the country’s religious groups. For once, the president has actually kept his promise, which he made in May with the “Religious Liberty” executive order, of “not allowing people of faith to be targeted, bullied or silenced anymore.” That is the only rather positive aspect of the story. It was a promise kept, but women are still in danger. It is easy to justify repealing, piece by piece, the only semblance of healthcare that exists in America by making it about the First Amendment. It would be more credible if Trump had not made it clear that his ultimate goal was to crush the legacy of Barack Obama. There was a time, only a week ago, when women with a job were assured to have their contraception covered by their health insurance plans. It was not ideal, and it will not be until the U.S. looks at

Europe and realizes that when health insurance is provided to every citizen, employed or not, it is the solution to many of its evils. But, it was a step forward. Now, to avoid getting pregnant, women all over the country will have to put hundreds of dollars a year into contraception. For instance, to access the pill, it must be prescribed. The doctor’s appointment could be up to $250. This change of policy raises questions for everyone. The constant rejection of women’s health issues by religious groups is getting somewhat ridiculous. It is undeniable and scientific that if women do not have enough money to pay for birth control, they risk many health problems. America should be concerned about what this policy could imply for the future. If religion is an excuse to take a step back from federal laws, there are many other areas that could be impacted. The LGBTQ community might suffer from discrimination, for example, when trying to adopt a child or get married. The repeal of mandatory coverage of birth control in health insurance plans could be the open door to let the clergy decide who virtuous citizens are like in the medieval times. Finally, women need to find a way to make the male policymakers understand what being a woman looks, feels and costs like. Men never seem to learn from centuries of mistakes. Women, take back control.

The joke is not on 25-year-old sports reporter, Jourdan Rodrigue, it is on the quarterback of the Carolina Panthers, Cam Newton. Last week, during a press conference, Newton was asked a professional question by female reporter Jourdan Rodrigue from the Charlotte Observer. How he responded was not so professional. Newton answered the reporter in a degrading manner saying, “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes, like…it’s funny.” He was seen giving a long, exaggerated smirk and sarcastic laugh. Later on, Rodrigue waited, found Newton after the press conference and asked him alone why he thought her question was funny. According to Rodrigue, Newton did not even apologize. He did, however, ask whether she had the capability to recognize pass routes. Newton faced a lot of backlash from the media, sponsors and the NFL. Frankly, he deserved it. Rodrigue said later on Twitter, “I don’t think it’s ‘funny’ to be a female and talk about routes. I think it’s my job.” Many fans rallied behind her, agreeing that Newton’s comment was outright wrong as well as incredibly sexist. Nearly half of NFL fans are female according to Reuters, so Newton’s misogynistic remark hit home with a lot of people. In light of the controversy, he made an apology video, where he expressed his

word choice as “extremely degrading and disrespectful.” He also addressed that he has two daughters, in which he claims to try and encourage the idea that they can be anything they want when they grow up. That being said, he should not make remarks like these to female reporters if he is trying to instill the idea of equality to his children. It is because sexism has a very prevalent tone in today’s society. In a nation considered progressive, there is still a lot of improvement that needs to be made. Forty years ago, the strive for women in the sports industry began with reporter Melissa Ludtke, who sued Major League Baseball by claiming her 14th Amendment rights had been violated. In 1977, during the World Series, Ludtke was denied access to the Yankees’ locker room, all because she

was a woman. After Ludtke won the case, she changed sports journalism forever. That was 40 years ago, and since then, there has been a movement of women in the sports world. Newton tried to soften the blow of his comment by saying he was being sarcastic and making a joke, but we do not live in a society where this is considered comical. Women involved in the sports industry are constantly facing the criticisms and hardships of what it is like to operate in a traditionally male kingdom. If the nation wants to strive for equality, it needs to start here. It needs to start in jobs, families, churches, schools and sports. People need to pause when they speak and before they act. What is automatic is not always what is right.

The college is in the midst of Homecoming Week, but rather than celebrating this, students and parents are planning visits for Friends and Family Weekend. Both of these campus events celebrate almost the same thing but take place a week apart. If you walked through the Marano Campus Center this week, you may have noticed green and yellow streamers and maybe some new signs that popped up. Many do not know that the reason the Campus Center halls have been given a minor facelift is because it is officially Homecoming Week. The purpose of Oswego State’s Family and Friends Weekend is the definition of a “homecoming.” It is a time to welcome back former students and offer activities to participate in, culminating with the start of the most popular sport on campus, men’s hockey. Despite the similarities, the college and

Homecoming and wanted to learn more, all the school’s website provides is the dates and times with a description that merely says, “A variety of celebratory events inviting alumni to return and open to the campus and community.” It would be more effective for the school and SAPB to combine Family and Friends Weekend with Homecoming. It would allow for a larger event and would be easier to advertise for without the worry of one event overshadowing the other. Many students and faculty put a lot of effort into both events. By combining the events, Homecoming will be able to get the recognition and turnout it deserves. It will also provide more hype leading up to the exhibition hockey game and follow a timeline that would make more sense for a Homecoming celebration.

organizations that plan these events divide Homecoming and Family and Friends Weekend into two events at different times when they are essentially the same. Organizations like the Student Association Programming Board (SAPB) and the Alumni and Parent Relations Office put a lot of effort into planning the events for Homecoming Week, but students cannot take full advantage of these if they are not aware of them. Homecoming Week is not communicated well to students. Most of the advertising is left up to resident assistants spreading the word. The hope that students rushing to their next class will take the time to read and remember details of the events is unlikely. It is just as unlikely to believe that a few signs and resident assistants will be able to effectively spread all of the details of the numerous events involved in Homecoming. Even if students were to hear about

Derek Smith Opinion Editor dsmith@oswegonian.com Rarely, if ever, is there something so urgent on one’s phone that it must be checked before arriving at a safer place than the hallway or sidewalk between classes. With hordes of people racing back and forth from classes, residence halls and parking lots, the public space between students’ destinations is no place to scroll through Instagram. Students are already distracted by classrelated tasks, daydreams and friends. Adding hundreds of pedestrians staring down at their phone to this frantic herd of absentminded students is an annoyance at

best and a danger at worst. Being glued to a phone while walking severely slows down one’s pace, forcing the walkers behind them to either narrowly squeeze past or perform the tense “slow walk” until a lane opens up. Long-legged and fast walkers can relate. Even more hazardous than this, distracted walkers risk head-on collisions with their fellow phone addicts during busy times of the day. If lucky enough to avoid the crash at the last minute, the two students will spend the next few seconds in a painfully uncomfortable sidestepping routine in an attempt to get by each other. This infamous period of awkwardness has become far too familiar since distracted walking became commonplace. Aside from inconveniencing those around them, phone users put themselves in harm’s way on nice days when students are riding bikes or longboards. They will likely not be aware of an oncoming rider, especially from behind. Given the lack of vehicle lanes on sidewalks, longboarders and bikers need a clear path that could not exist with packs of unaware people absorbed by their phones. Getting run over by a mountain bike seems like a large price to pay for a Snapchat. Many students enjoy listening to music through headphones on their walks. This is

completely reasonable, provided they remain attentive to their surroundings and refrain from looking at their phone for more than a quick song change. There are plenty of sights on campus to keep one occupied on a long walk that are far more pleasurable than a Facebook Live update. Observing the playful squirrels, art exhibits or one’s peers on a route is more worthwhile and much less irritating to those around them. Smartphone usage is the inescapable reality of being a college student in 2017. There is no denying the utility of smartphones for entertainment, interacting with friends or communicating with faculty. When taken to the extreme, however, we devolve into lead-footed zombies hunched over our devices, completely oblivious to our surroundings. Besides that, we begin to overvalue the importance of whatever notification has appeared on our lock screen.

Price increase comes at curious time Netflix membership still worthy of investment Dominick Lioto Laker Review Editor dlioto@oswegonian.com For years, Netflix has dominated in-home entertainment options with hundreds of popular TV series and films to choose from, especially when they produce quality content that can compete with the most popular widerelease movies and biggest network shows. Given the type of quality content the studio has been producing for a few years now, it is no surprise that they have increased their prices. Of course, the ones still mooching off their parents’ account or logged into an ex-girlfriend’s will not be affected. “House of Cards,” “Orange Is The New Black,” “Stranger Things,” “Narcos,” a universe of intersecting Marvel superhero shows and various films have become household names for many subscribers thanks to Netlflix. Netflix is so engrained into today’s culture it is practically inescapable from the phrase “Netflix and chill” to answering “I’m watching Netflix” when asked “What are you watching?” Fo r l e s s t h a n t he p r i c e o f mo s t movie tickets, subscribers have endless hours of entertainment at their fingertips. Not only are these options easily accessible, but most of them are good. It is not just outdated comedies and dramas from the 1990s on Netflix, but quality, thought-provoking original productions that make their marks in the world of movies and TV. Streaming services have caught the eye of academy boards and industry insiders as well. Netflix ended up with the second most wins at the 2017 Emmy awards. The company took

The Academy Awards only allow films that have been released in the actual cinemas, not just streaming productions. In October of 2015, Netflix teamed up with Bleeker Street and distributed Cary Fukunaga’s “Beasts of No Nation” in theaters for a limited time, making it eligible to compete in the most notable film-centric awards program in the world. For those subscribed to the standard service, the rate of $9.99 has increased to $10.99. Their premium service, providing four screens and ultra

HD content, has increased from $11.99 to $13.99. This is not the first time the company has upped their prices, but they have done so at a not-so-ver y coincidental time for the company. It has announced this pricing alteration only a couple of weeks prior to the season two release of “Stranger Things,” a series that has spread like wildfire through younger audiences and pop culture. For anyone with a subscription to Netflix, whether they are entertainment junkies or just casual TV watchers, this increase probably will not break their banks. Most people will only see an extra dollar taken out of their bank accounts ever y month, but for the award-winning series and films they have been keeping up with every month, it will be worth it.

Liam Gallagher stuck in past on solo album ‘As You Were’ Ian Saunders Asst. Laker Review Editor isaunders@oswegonian.com

Rating: Liam Gallagher is a riot, but not always the fun kind. The former frontman of the well-known British rock band Oasis has spent the past couple of years blasting content across social media, promoting his material and hurling insults at his more prolific older brother, Noel, on Twitter. The 45-year-old boasts an impressive 2.3 million followers. Aside from his popularity on the internet, the infamously abrasive rock icon has not been in the limelight much as of late. Following Noel’s departure from Oasis in 2009, Gallagher and the remaining members of the band became Beady Eye, releasing two full-length albums in the span of five years. They disbanded in 2014 following an announcement from Gallagher over Twitter. Now, he finds himself pursuing a solo career, which might be for the best, considering his rotten reputation working with other people.

He seems determined to fix his public image, one that had been steamrolled once Oasis collapsed. “I’m starting from the bottom again,” Gallagher told Esquire magazine, recounting the “hail of smashed guitars and thrown fruit” that brought everything to a halt. His volatile behavior on the internet has not ended (there was an altercation between him and Noel on Oct. 8), but his crude behavior on stage mostly has. On his new album, “As You Were,” the audience sees a version of Gallagher where most of the wrinkles have been ironed out, and they see an artist who seems ready to sound and act more professional. “Wall of Glass” kicks the album off as a rough-around-the-edges rock ballad that tirelessly pounds away with a distorted guitar and a harmonica. Gallagher’s voice has not changed, as he sings “one day you’ll shatter like a wall of glass” over the wailing guitar leads. It is a catchy song that makes the rest of the album feel very promising, but unfortunately, that hope fades away quickly. “Hope” repeats the same stale

sound of strumming guitars found on the last track, and the chorus does not bring anything new to the table. “Greedy Soul” follows suit, sounding eerily similar to the songs played before it. What feels refreshing at first slowly starts to chip away, and with each boring chorus and uninspired hook, Gallagher starts to sound more like a one-trick pony. “When I’m In Need” changes up the sound and feels like one of the more thought-out tracks on the album, with a relatively strong

chorus and a nice, energetic finish. After that song runs its course, the listener gets another dose of four to five identical rock tunes, where Gallagher’s tough guy attitude starts to seem more forced than ever. Most of the tracks on “As You Were” are absolutely loaded with energy. The problem lies in the fact that Gallagher does not do anything interesting with that energy. Instead, he lets it drill into his audience’s head for four to five minutes before abruptly ending it and mov-

ing on to the next song. Arguably the best parts of the album are when he finally lets up, writing a more emotional ballad, but those often end up being lackluster and uninspired. At the end of the day, “As You Were” is not doing much. It blends into a sea of average rock albums that have been around for years and does not do a lot to stand out on its own. If Gallagher wants to be the better brother, he needs to start releasing better music, too.

New Politics proves they are far from ‘Lost in Translation’ Mary Katherine Moylan Staff Writer laker@oswegonian.com

Rating: On Oct. 6, Danish rock band New Politics released their longawaited album, “Lost In Translation.” The band created tension when their single “One of Us,” from their fourth studio album, was released on March 10. The band released their first self-titled album in 2010, then released their second album, “A Bad Girl In Harlem,” in 2013. After opening for Panic! At The Disco’s “This Is Gospel” Tour, New Politics released their third studio album, “Vikings,” in 2015. They have since traveled the U.S. and have performed two years consecutively at Alternative Buffalo’s Kerfuffle festival in 2015 and 2016. Commencing with “CIA,” the first track kicks off the album with electric dance vibes that the band is known for. Opening up with an interesting 8-bit video game intro, the

song goes on with childlike harmonies, especially with spoken lines “W is a watch / A is an apple / R is the rain, rain,” tying in an overall familiar and youthful theme. Other electric and dance anthems that display the band’s signature flare are “Lifeboat,” “East Coast Thrillas,” and “Istanbul,” which is as much of a staple to the album as “West End Kids” was to “Vikings.” “Call Your Dad,” the only song on “Lost In Translation” to feature another artist, keeps with the alternative and indie

rock ranks by featuring Weezer’s frontman, Rivers Cuomo. “I’m not cut out for Heaven and I’m never, never, never getting married in a church / I’m not cut out for Heaven and I’ll be just fine lying next to you.” Taking on a rock-tinged revision of a traditional Japanese melody, this love ballad with a twist is a subtle and satisfying taste of the band’s new sound. “ M a d e l i n e ,” a s o n g t h a t brings forward traces of Dexys Midnight Runners’ “Come On Eileen,” resembles a “drinking sound” and is one of the more

upbeat sounds New Politics has begun to play with. Advising, “You gotta love yourself ‘fore you love somebody / You gotta try it all before you know who you are,” the song rocks back and forth with a beyondcatchy chorus. One of the more subtle and soothing tracks from the album, “Color Green” contrasts the fiery young love heard in “Call Your Dad” and reinvents a soulful and heart-aching tale of unrequited love. Strippedb a c k , r a w v o c a l s a re a l s o found on the album’s “Lifted,”

while “Color Green” has that of a wistful and wise folk rock song when it comes to instrumentals. “Color green, color green, the grass is red from all the cherry trees / Velveteen, velveteen, so sweet and soft she’s falling with the leaves.” The lead singer’s diverse voice takes on softer and lifting undertones that bring forth a tenderness in the song. The final tack, “Clouds,” is an insightful and delightful tune that cannot help but make listeners smile. With horns descending, yet quick tempo piano chords and reflecting lyrics like “Maybe I can’t see the stars for clouds, see the stars for clouds but I know, they’re out there / Maybe I can’t hear your heart out loud, hear your heart beat loud, but I know, it’s in there,” the album is nearly bookended with a subtle theme of nostalgia and reflection that courses throughout the tracks. “Lost In Translation,” a pleasant and refreshing work, gracefully swirls the beloved familiar sound of New Politics, with a new sound the band has taken on.

‘Blade Runner 2049’ serves as brilliant follow-up to original Cameron Verrette Staff Writer laker@oswegonian.com

Rating: It has been 35 years since Ridley Scott’s beloved neonoir sci-fi classic “Blade Runner” first hit theaters. A critical flop upon first release, it took 25 years and four re-cuts before the film truly cemented itself as one of Ridley Scott’s best films. Director Denis Villeneuve’s ( “A r r i v a l ” ) s e q u e l “ B l a d e Runner 2049” gets it right on the first try, delivering a thought-provoking sci-fi film that is easily one of the most beautiful films to hit cinema screens this year. Taking place 30 years after the original “Blade Runner,” “2049” follows another blade runner. A blade runner is a cop tasked with hunting down and “retiring” older mo d e l a nd ro i d s , k no w n a s “replicants,” that were used for slave labor in the origi-

cate puzzle that is the plot of “Blade Runner 2049. ” The film clocks in just 15 minutes shy of the three-hour mark, but it rarely drags. The long runtime allows the film to take thematic detours from the main plot, such as a subplot with Gosling and his Wallace Corporation manufactured holographic girlfriend Joi (Ana de Armas, “Overdrive”). Gosling is perfect in this role. He has al-

All of the wome n o f “ B l a d e R u n ne r 2 0 4 9 ” put on exceptional per formances in their time onscreen, with Ana de Armas being the easy standout. Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch, both fresh off their fantastic work on the score for “Dunkirk,” provide the score for this film, which is a drone-heavy mood piece that works so well as a comp a n i o n t o t h e f i l m ’s v i s u als. “Blade Runner 2049” is hands down the most visually striking film audiences will see in theaters so far t h i s y e a r.

It is a shame that it looks to be a box office flop, making only a little over $30 million in its first weekend on a $150 million budget. This is the type of film that demands to be seen on the big screen. “Blade Runner 2049” is science fiction at its best. It tackles large themes of what it means to be human in new and interesting ways and never feels like a rehash of Ridley Scott’s 1982 original. The sweeping score and hypnotizing visuals are some of the best available in theatres this year. “Blade Runner 2049” does just about everything right, and while it may have less open ends than the original for viewers to debate and dissect, many will find thems e l ve s c o m i ng b a c k to t he world of “2049” to bask in its neo-noir beauty.

‘Spielberg’ taps into mind of one of world’s greatest directors Connor Brennan Contributing Writer laker@oswegonian.com

Rating: “Spielberg” successfully touches the heart and finally puts audiences in the head of a remarkable filmmaker. At the start of “Spielberg,” Steven Spielberg talks about a moment during his teenage years when he said he considered not being a director at all. That moment came when he saw “Lawrence of Arabia” for the first time at age 16. He said it could not be outdone. Without a doubt, many cinema students must have felt this way. Spielberg star ted making movies as a child, using the medium to tell war stories and even a short about aliens called “Firelight.” After working in TV for Universal Pictures for a few years, he made feature-length films, with “Jaws” being the first widely recognized film of his career. The classic film about an aggressive great white shark eating people at the beach be-

came the highest-grossing film of all time, and summer blockbusters became a thing. The making and release of “Jaws” is the first major segment of “Spielberg,” and it feels appropriate, given how much he owed that film for his career, despite his frustration making it. The numerous interviewees in this documentary, critics, actors and directors, examine the ideas and themes behind each of Spielberg’s movies and offer their own views about them. In fact, not all of those views are positive. It also feels appropriate that a good number of the interviewees were part of the “film brats” from the 1970s that Spielberg was a part of. There is a lot of Super 8 footage of private parties between Spielberg and directors like Martin Scorsese, George Lucas and Brian De Palma. Almost everyone who has worked on one of Spielberg’s movies makes an appearance here. Surprisingly, two films considered to be weaker ones in Spielberg’s filmography, “Always” and “Hook,” are never touched upon. While “Always” is seen as

merely a small blip on his career, “Hook” was a successful blockbuster that has gained the love of some, but the director himself is not that proud of it. Other films not considered as important to Spielberg’s life and overall career are also only given a slight amount of focus. One segment groups all of his sci-fi films from the early 2000s such as “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” and his “War of the Worlds” adaptation together. The segments focusing on Spielberg’s personal life are especially important, since more often than not, a person puts what they have experienced in life into their own work. New details, some quite heartbreaking, are revealed, such as why Spielberg’s parents divorced in the first place. Listening to interviews from Spielberg’s parents and even his sisters are w e l c o me . O ne s e g me n t t h a t shows Spielberg’s personal life coinciding with his movies that flows almost seamlessly is one that covers his rejection of his Jewish heritage as a child, his marriage to Kate Capshaw, who was an actress from his film “Indiana Jones and the Temple of

Doom,” in a Jewish ceremony and finally, the making of what many cinephiles think is his best film, “Schindler’s List.” Not only did the film inform millions about the Holocaust, it also allowed Spielberg to start the Shoah Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving records of accounts by Holocaust survivors, and won him his first Best Director Oscar and the Oscar for Best Picture. It is extremely clear that “Schindler’s List” was a moment that defined who he would be for the rest of his life. Despite the initial confusion of his filmography being covered out of order and a couple

of details on Steven Spielberg’s p ers onal life getting s hor tchanged, like his marriage to actress Amy Irving, “Spielberg” presents a definitive life story of a filmmaker who has dedicated himself to entertaining millions and looking for something to say in his work. A final and special touch from this documentary is that the soundtrack is mostly filled with themes from film composer John Williams, who has been the source of Spielberg’s longest-running collaboration, starting all the way back to his first feature film, “The Sugarland Express.”

Laker Review Live: Last Responders, more than cover band On-campus band fuses its own unique style while covering others’ popular music Rebecca Szabo Staff Writer laker@oswegonian.com

Oswego State is known for its eclectic music programs and activities. The concentrations within the music major are audio production, jazz studies, performance studies and generalist studies. There are multiple choral and instrumental ensemble groups like the college choir and jazz ensembles. Music lessons are available to students and taught by renowned faculty, all of which are associated with the newly renovated Tyler Hall. Recording artists and bands may record their music in the recording studio in Tyler Hall, one of which is a newly formed rock band known as Last Responders.

Seubert teamed up with drummer Litavsky and a recent graduate, bassist Wes Jones, who ultimately could not commit due to a job offer in Rochester. Upon searching for the right guitarist for the job, Litavsky recommended Cushman for the group. Last Responders began doing covers of a diverse selection of rock, such as “No Quarter,” by Led Zeppelin, “Watermelon Man,” by Herbie Hancock, and “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” by Elvis Presley. Seubert said that the band’s style reflects “original covers” by taking the original music and rearranging it to make it their own. Seubert explained, “Instead of sitting down and making a note-

Last Responders’ inception all started with a final project that entails recording an album for Recording Technology III (MUS 482), which is a class taught by Dan Wood for music majors that have the audio concentration and/or the audio design and production minor.

Saeva and Litavsky are both seniors from Rochester, New York, and Saeva has been playing bass for 11 years, while Litavsky has been playing drums since eighth grade. Zufall is a freshman from West Islip, New York, on Long Island and has been playing saxophone since fourth grade. Seubert is a junior from Cicero, New York, and has been playing keyboard and piano since he was 5 years old. Last Responders will be performing at some of the local bars in the upcoming months, and Seubert said that a recent graduate of Oswego State, Ken Migliore, is designing the album artwork and logo for the band. Their first album, titled “Jambulance,” is due to be released to Oswego State students and the general public via iTunes and CD format sometime before winter break. It is no easy task coming up with a band and album name. Ideas floated around for a few months, but no one could settle on one idea. “Someone came up with First Responders as a name, but I said, why don’t we mix it up and do Last Responders?” Seubert said. “They all loved it.” The band’s success is attributed to the recently renovated recording studio in Tyler Hall. The studio includes the industry standard program, Pro Tools 12 HD, an Avid

S6 control surface and a broad selection of microphones. A second recording studio is being added and will be available to audio program students beginning in the fall of 2019. “We have seen a substantial increase in the number of students who are taking advantage of the opportunities that our state-ofthe-art recording studio makes possible,” Wood, the audio program director, said. “All are welcome, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the recording projects coming out of our new studio. It truly is a great time to be at Oswego if you are interested in music recording and production.”

Last Responders band members enjoy working with talented musicians and expanding their repertoire. Seubert hopes the band is something that can be continued for a long time. “I am thrilled that we were able to meet and form this group because I’ve experienced nothing as amazing as this group of musicians,” Zufall said.

More than just bored housewives can enjoy ‘This Is Us’ Zachary Bell Staff Writer laker@oswegonian.com

Rating: Those who are not watching “This Is Us” must get the preconceived notion that this show is meant for middle-aged housewives out of their heads. Even a 20-yearold male college student can agree with the national media that this is the number one drama on television. NBC’s hit new series has just entered a second season, coming off its inaugural season that won six primetime Emmy awards out of its eight nominations. The show follows the Pearson family as they go through life’s struggles in both the past and the present. The family of five is parented by Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia, “Rocky Balboa”) and his wife Rebecca (Mandy Moore, “47 Meters Down”). The couple both deal with struggles of their own, but

always make sure that their kids come first. They raise three children, two boys and a girl, who are born on the same day, but are not necessarily triplets. The audience watches both the children and the parents learn and grow, as each episode continuously switches between the time periods of the mid-‘80s and the duration of the ‘90s, all the way up until present day. This element of the show really separates “This Is Us” from any other program on television. Creator Dan Fogelman (“Crazy, Stupid, Love”) has found a way to intertwine characters with different versions of themselves, such as an experienced 50-year-old mother in Rebecca with a much more inexperienced and troubled 35-year-old Rebecca. Viewers see the evolution of these characters unfold before their eyes, and how their past has affected their future. Usually, it takes multiple seasons’ worth of progression in order to de-

pict such a long-time range worth of evolution, but Fogelman is able to do so with each episode in just an hourlong time slot. This is something that is not done in any other television show and is something that keeps viewers hooked and engaged. With the entire show’s plot based on the ability to time hop, the drama is able to portray how the presentday lives of the characters have been shaped by their past. The biggest milestone

in the show that has changed the lives of the entire family is the death of the father, Jack. This is shared with the audience right off the bat in the first episode. However, the biggest question that remains is how he died. Over 20 episodes are now in the books. With the knowledge that Jack has been dead since the show’s first airing, viewers are still putting the pieces together as to how he passed away. With each episode comes more clues to help lead

viewers toward an answer, but with that comes continuous twists that constantly make them switch up any theory lies they may have. Aside from the jumps in time, this is the show’s most addictive element and is easily a favorite. Some fans never feel the sensation of leaning off of a cliff quite like the way “This Is Us” makes them feel with the continuing mystery of how the shows most beloved character meets his demise. All of these elements have helped viewers become infatuated with the show and constantly rave about it amongst friends, who are shocked that they are so enthralled with a “soap opera,” as they like to put it. Be assured, “This Is Us” is the furthest thing from a daytime drama and includes something for everyone. If you enjoy constantly being on the edge of your seat and watching something that can make you cry, laugh and gasp, all in one sitting, be open to giving “This Is Us” a chance.

After 16 seasons, ‘Family Guy’ still clever as ever Michael Reilly Circulation Director mreilly@oswegonian.com

Rating: With all nonsense that is going on in the world nowadays, it helps to have an outlet to turn to. “Luckily, there’s a Family Guy!” The beloved cartoon dives headfirst into its 16th season as clever and bold as ever. Despite his apparent newfound love for acting, series creator Seth MacFarlane and company are still able to put forth a solid effort that has been a shining consistency throughout the run of “Family Guy.” The season premiere is almost like a happy yet chaotic circus of comedy. Elements such as prominently blatant parodies of other shows, special guest appearances by celebrities and, of course, getting to see the characters long-time viewers know and love help emphasize this. It feels fresh and not like a show

that has overstayed its welcome over the years. Parodying other acclaimed shows such as “Modern Family” and “Breaking Bad” are the point of focus throughout the episode, but there is still plenty of classic “Family Guy” gags and cutaways that do not feel forced or cheap. The fact that the characters are purposely trying to be like other shows just because they are desperate to win an Emmy makes the whole situation all the more hilarious. Although each of the main characters in the Griffin household get an opportunity to display their well-known comedic chops, it is the head of the household, Peter Griffin, who steers the ship in this episode. From becoming transparent to crying his eyes out like a child while portraying Walter White, Peter is absolutely at the top of his game. Not to mention his continued (and criminally underrated) success at getting involved in his typical

shenanigans all the while holding together a household. As mentioned earlier, there were a healthy amount of celebrity cameos throughout the episode. Some of these included comedians like Louis C.K. and Bill Maher, as well as actors like Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin. While no celebrity appearance is necessarily significant to this particular episode, it is still pleasant to have the aspect of real people interacting with the characters, another consis-

tent feature of the show that has yet to grow old. Speaking of real people in the show, it was definitely eerie to see a cameo by the late Adam West, who passed away over the summer. It will be interesting, in a sad way, to see how the show deals with his actual death within the show. As the season progresses, viewers can certainly hope to see some more of their favorite characters, such as Stewie and Quagmire. Each have a chance

for a more prominent role in upcoming episodes. Overall, this episode gives plenty of reason for long-time fans to continue watching “Family Guy” with excitement. The comedic creativity is still very much alive in Quahog, and since the show does not necessarily follow a specific storyline throughout the season, viewers will be on their toes every week to see what MacFarlane and crew cook up next.

while “Color Green” has that of a wistful and wise folk rock song when it comes to instrumentals. “Color green, color green, the grass is red from all the cherry trees / Velveteen, velveteen, so sweet and soft she’s falling with the leaves.” The lead singer’s diverse voice takes on softer and lifting undertones that bring forth a tenderness in the song. The final tack, “Clouds,” is an insightful and delightful tune that cannot help but make listeners smile. With horns descending, yet quick tempo piano chords and reflecting lyrics like “Maybe I can’t see the stars for clouds, see the stars for clouds but I know, they’re out there / Maybe I can’t hear your heart out loud, hear your heart beat loud, but I know, it’s in there,” the album is nearly bookended with a subtle theme of nostalgia and reflection that courses throughout the tracks. “Lost In Translation,” a pleasant and refreshing work, gracefully swirls the beloved familiar sound of New Politics, with a new sound the band has taken on.

‘Blade Runner 2049’ serves as brilliant follow-up to original Cameron Verrette Staff Writer laker@oswegonian.com

Rating: It has been 35 years since Ridley Scott’s beloved neonoir sci-fi classic “Blade Runner” first hit theaters. A critical flop upon first release, it took 25 years and four re-cuts before the film truly cemented itself as one of Ridley Scott’s best films. Director Denis Villeneuve’s ( “A r r i v a l ” ) s e q u e l “ B l a d e Runner 2049” gets it right on the first try, delivering a thought-provoking sci-fi film that is easily one of the most beautiful films to hit cinema screens this year. Taking place 30 years after the original “Blade Runner,” “2049” follows another blade runner. A blade runner is a cop tasked with hunting down and “retiring” older mo d e l a nd ro i d s , k no w n a s “replicants,” that were used for slave labor in the origi-

This time around, w e f ol lo w L A P D bl a d e r u nner and newer-model replicant Officer K (Ryan Gosling, “La La Land”) who discovers a clue during a routine mission that sends him down a path to discover dark secrets about replicants that his supervisor (Robin Wright, “Wonder Woman”) says may “break the world.” To summarize any further would likely spoil the intri-

cate puzzle that is the plot of “Blade Runner 2049. ” The film clocks in just 15 minutes shy of the three-hour mark, but it rarely drags. The long runtime allows the film to take thematic detours from the main plot, such as a subplot with Gosling and his Wallace Corporation manufactured holographic girlfriend Joi (Ana de Armas, “Overdrive”). Gosling is perfect in this role. He has al-

ways had a robotic quality to him. Behind his effortlessly suave demeanor is often something more cold and calculating. All of the wome n o f “ B l a d e R u n ne r 2 0 4 9 ” put on exceptional per formances in their time onscreen, with Ana de Armas being the easy standout. Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch, both fresh off their fantastic work on the score for “Dunkirk,” provide the score for this film, which is a drone-heavy mood piece that works so well as a comp a n i o n t o t h e f i l m ’s v i s u als. “Blade Runner 2049” is hands down the most visually striking film audiences will see in theaters so far t h i s y e a r. P e r e n n i a l O s c a r bridesmaid cinematographer R o g e r D e a k i n s m i g h t h ave finally locked up his Academy Award win with his work on this film. “Blade Runner 2049” is an absolute master class in lighting.

164 minutes of film is absol u t e l y b re a t h t a k i ng . T he re is rarely a frame in the film t h a t is a n y t h ing l e s s t h a n absolutely hypnotizing. It is a shame that it looks to be a box office flop, making only a little over $30 million in its first weekend on a $150 million budget. This is the type of film that demands to be seen on the big screen. “Blade Runner 2049” is science fiction at its best. It tackles large themes of what it means to be human in new and interesting ways and never feels like a rehash of Ridley Scott’s 1982 original. The sweeping score and hypnotizing visuals are some of the best available in theatres this year. “Blade Runner 2049” does just about everything right, and while it may have less open ends than the original for viewers to debate and dissect, many will find thems e l ve s c o m i ng b a c k to t he world of “2049” to bask in its neo-noir beauty.

‘Spielberg’ taps into mind of one of world’s greatest directors Connor Brennan Contributing Writer laker@oswegonian.com

Rating: “Spielberg” successfully touches the heart and finally puts audiences in the head of a remarkable filmmaker. At the start of “Spielberg,” Steven Spielberg talks about a moment during his teenage years when he said he considered not being a director at all. That moment came when he saw “Lawrence of Arabia” for the first time at age 16. He said it could not be outdone. Without a doubt, many cinema students must have felt this way. Spielberg star ted making movies as a child, using the medium to tell war stories and even a short about aliens called “Firelight.” After working in TV for Universal Pictures for a few years, he made feature-length films, with “Jaws” being the first widely recognized film of his career. The classic film about an aggressive great white shark eating people at the beach be-

came the highest-grossing film of all time, and summer blockbusters became a thing. The making and release of “Jaws” is the first major segment of “Spielberg,” and it feels appropriate, given how much he owed that film for his career, despite his frustration making it. The numerous interviewees in this documentary, critics, actors and directors, examine the ideas and themes behind each of Spielberg’s movies and offer their own views about them. In fact, not all of those views are positive. It also feels appropriate that a good number of the interviewees were part of the “film brats” from the 1970s that Spielberg was a part of. There is a lot of Super 8 footage of private parties between Spielberg and directors like Martin Scorsese, George Lucas and Brian De Palma. Almost everyone who has worked on one of Spielberg’s movies makes an appearance here. Surprisingly, two films considered to be weaker ones in Spielberg’s filmography, “Always” and “Hook,” are never touched upon. While “Always” is seen as

merely a small blip on his career, “Hook” was a successful blockbuster that has gained the love of some, but the director himself is not that proud of it. Other films not considered as important to Spielberg’s life and overall career are also only given a slight amount of focus. One segment groups all of his sci-fi films from the early 2000s such as “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” and his “War of the Worlds” adaptation together. The segments focusing on Spielberg’s personal life are especially important, since more often than not, a person puts what they have experienced in life into their own work. New details, some quite heartbreaking, are revealed, such as why Spielberg’s parents divorced in the first place. Listening to interviews from Spielberg’s parents and even his sisters are w e l c o me . O ne s e g me n t t h a t shows Spielberg’s personal life coinciding with his movies that flows almost seamlessly is one that covers his rejection of his Jewish heritage as a child, his marriage to Kate Capshaw, who was an actress from his film “Indiana Jones and the Temple of

Doom,” in a Jewish ceremony and finally, the making of what many cinephiles think is his best film, “Schindler’s List.” Not only did the film inform millions about the Holocaust, it also allowed Spielberg to start the Shoah Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving records of accounts by Holocaust survivors, and won him his first Best Director Oscar and the Oscar for Best Picture. It is extremely clear that “Schindler’s List” was a moment that defined who he would be for the rest of his life. Despite the initial confusion of his filmography being covered out of order and a couple

of details on Steven Spielberg’s p ers onal life getting s hor tchanged, like his marriage to actress Amy Irving, “Spielberg” presents a definitive life story of a filmmaker who has dedicated himself to entertaining millions and looking for something to say in his work. A final and special touch from this documentary is that the soundtrack is mostly filled with themes from film composer John Williams, who has been the source of Spielberg’s longest-running collaboration, starting all the way back to his first feature film, “The Sugarland Express.”
