in Scales Hall Campus relocation roundup Fire Cooking catastophe causes some concern Julia Tilley Asst. News Editor jtilley@oswegonian.com Over the past few months, Oswego State has gone through several changes in anticipation of the fall 2019 semester. The campus bookstore in Hewitt Union, entitled Bookland, has been moved to the old theater department labs and classrooms, while an advisement center took over the original space. Bookland has expanded in the new space provided, and the rooms that were previously used as the theater department’s costume shop and lab classroom have been moved to the freshly renovated Tyler Hall, where they are intended to remain. Tyler Hall has been in different phases of renovation since 2016, causing the original displacement of certain theater, art, and music classes and rehearsals.

Student Association plans for year
SA president interested in reducing textbook expenses John Contrata Business Manager jcontrata@oswegonian.com The Oswego State Student Association president is looking for ways to make out of class academics easier on students and updating SA rules. Student Association represents the voices of the students at Oswego State. They promote the wants and needs of the students while funding many clubs and organizations on campus with a budget of $1.8 million. Many students may not realize how much SA affects the campus experience at Oswego State, such as free hockey game tickets and the GoCentro bus routes. One of SA President Takeena Strachan’s main priorities for the year is to reduce the costs of textbooks by finding a cheaper alternative to required textbooks, which can cost upwards of $200.

A fire broke out in Scales Hall on the east side of campus Wednesday night. The fire originated from a stove in a Scales kitchenette unit around 8 p.m. Oswego State University Police responded to the emergency call and were quickly dispatched to Scales Hall. Lt. Robert Vaccarelli and officers Michael Boehn, Mark Miklos and Scott Bullard arrived at the scene and confirmed smoke and flames. Using a fire extinguisher, Boehn was able to keep the flames contained to the area around the stove. His fellow UP officers sup-
plied him with an additional two fire extinguishers as they were expended. Oswego Fire Department arrived from the city, followed by the Oswego Town Volunteer Fire Department and several assisting emergency personnel from surrounding areas. According to UP, the fire was contained to the stove, adjacent wall and cabinet area of the kitchenette. UP reports indicate the fire was put out within 10 to 12 minutes, with no injuries reported. The fire, according to UP, was said to be caused by students cooking on the stove with oil, which caught fire.
