JoAnn DeLauter Official Communicator openlinesofcommunication@osweonion.com Despite New York laws banning the medical and recreational use of marijuana, University Police has changed its protocol for dealing with suspected drug use. “We understand that marijuana is illegal, but this is college,” University Police Lieutenant Phillip McDoggle said. “Drug offenses happen too often, so we decided not to respond to them anymore.” The change in policy comes after many resident assistants have filed complaints against University Police accusing officers of failing to acknowledge or recognize drug usage. According to the official complaint, the last incident when University Police allegedly ignored the use of marijuana was on March 30 on the 12th floor of Seneca Hall.

myself,” the SA president said. “But so many students have been talking about Trump; we really thought it would get people excited.” The president of Oswego State said she is especially looking forward to hearing Trump speak at the college, as she is a Trump supporter. “I have been a huge fan of Donald since I was a teenager,” the college’s president said. “When I heard he was running for president, I got a ‘Trump 2016’ sign for my lawn right away. I just hope next month I’ll be able to get his autograph.” According to the SA president, Trump will receive $50,000 for delivering a one-hour speech at Oswego State. Tickets to the event, including the prespeech performance by Oswego State’s gospel choir, are $20. Some students are less enthused than the college president about Trump’s upcoming appearance in Oswego. “I hate Donald Trump and I think more people from Oswego will vote for him if he comes here,” said sophomore Sean Neebles. “He says some really
stupid things and I’m not interested in hearing any more of them.” Neebles added that he is not registered to vote, nor does he plan to register in time for the presidential election this year. The event is also open to the Oswego community. The mayor of Oswego said he will be in attendance. “Having someone as well known as Donld Trump come here is going to be great for Oswego,” the mayor said. “Oswego’s going to become a household name after this. This could be great for our economy, and I expect to see a spike in tourism this summer.” Oswego State’s president said there were some problems finding accommodations for Trump, who will be staying for the weekend. However, it was decided that Trump will be housed in Waterbury Hall. “We’re thrilled to be able to house Donald in Waterbury, which was our most recently renovated residence hall,” the president said. “We hope he will be impressed with all the work
we’ve done there. He will be eating his meals, for free of course, in Lakeside Dining Hall.” Students hoping for the opportunity to meet Trump can stop by Lakeside Dining Hall May 6-8 to try to get a selfie opportunity with the presidential candidate. “I know I’ll be in Lakeside all weekend chatting with Donald,” the college’s president said. A group of students are planning to invite Trump to join them on Friday for Bridge Street Run, a traditional Oswego bar crawl that takes place on the last day of classes. “I wanna be able to say that Donald Trump signed my white T-shirt,” said junior Julianna Snocks. “He just seems like a pretty fun dude to get drunk with.” Tickets to the event go on sale April 1. The college’s president said those interested should purchase tickets as soon as possible, as they are anticipated to sell out quickly.

The chicken patty will be competing for a $10,000 grand prize in the sandwich competition, taking place from November 9 to 13.

Since the patty was introduced to Oswego in 1974, dining hall staff has served over 200 million of the delicious sandwiches. The manager at Cooper dining hall is confident the chicken patty will win because of its simplicity. “All the other competitors have fancy
