signed up for The Chronicle on the first day of my freshman year and stayed committed since then. I am now the Editor-in-Chief of the New England College Newspaper of the Year, awarded by the New England Newspaper & Press Association, for two consecutive years. I learn more about journalism than I can in a classroom because I am practicing it through this organization. In addition to this experience, however, my classes are led by brilliant, passionate professors who educated me on what I needed to learn about myself and humanity. Quinnipiac wants to remind its students that the world is a big place, but we can still have an influence. Each classroom’s foundation is the idea of the individual and the community. And with that idea, I look at things with a zoomedout view because I like to see things for all that it is. So be ready to work hard, be ready to grow, because Quinnipiac won’t leave you disappointed.

Start making your own mark on the university as soon as you can. As your OLs will say, “Live the Legend,” and it’s up to you to do so. This is your home for the next four (plus) years. Take advantage of these opportunities while you can. You’re young, but you won’t have another time in your life when you can have a wide array of opportunities right in front of you.

If you picked a major and you’re now realizing you’re in way over your head or just simply hate it, switch. It may seem like the world is crumbling around you and that you have somehow become a huge failure, but trust me, the process is nothing more than a bunch of annoying paperwork. At the end of the day, your happiness at Quinnipiac is more important. I switched my major two weeks into my freshman year from biology to journalism and I’m still graduating on time. Academics are important, but you learn so much at college that can’t be taught in the classroom. Don’t think you’re cut out for Greek life? Neither did I. Go through the recruitment process and if you ultimately decide it’s still not for you, you can say no. But I can tell you from experience, you’re going to make lifelong friends. If Greek life still isn’t your thing, try something else. There’s a niche for everyone and everything here. Go to a Student Programming Board event, run for a student government position, or come to a Chronicle staff meeting. Get out of your comfort zone and take a risk. One of the essential parts of succeeding here is getting involved. It’s worth it.

SHOWDOWN

Ray & Mike’s? The Corner Deli? Debate has raged since the dawn of time about who has the better sub. Well, the Chronicle decided to stack ‘em up, pound for pound, in a no-holds-barred sandwich showdown. We took four of our most refined sandwich eaters, gave them a blind taste test and asked them to size up the classics. You might be surprised at the results.

The Winning Sandwiches:

The Judges:

Cassie Comeau

Lenny Neslin

Matt Busekroos

Nicole Celli

BUFFALO CHICKEN: Ray & Mike’s The Corner Deli

Draw 2 votes apiece

“I’m not really a fan of buffalo chicken, or anything spicy for that matter. If I had to choose, I say that No. 1 (The Corner Deli) was better.”

Ray & Mike’s

The Corner Deli

“No. 2 (Ray & Mike’s) tasted as good as it looked. The chicken had sufficient buffalo sauce on it and I tasted the spice as soon as I bit into it.”

“For those seeking spice, go with No. 1 (The Corner Deli). For those looking for conformity and less heat, go with sub No. 2 (Ray & Mike’s).”

“No. 2 (Ray & Mike’s) had sauce on it, and felt more like what a buffalo chicken sandwich should look and taste like. Good flavor.”

STEAK AND CHEESE:

The Corner Deli

4-0

Ray & Mike’s

The Corner Deli

“There seemed to be too much bread and not enough steak in No. 2 (The Corner Deli). You could taste the cheese more in this one than in the (Ray & Mike’s). The bread was about the same. The steak seemed to have much more flavor than the (Ray & Mike’s) and balanced out with the cheese.”

“(The Corner Deli) blew me away; it was the exact opposite of the (Ray & Mike’s). Grilled steak and cheese filled every bite. The bread was only there to hold the sandwich together, as it should be, and it did a great job. It could’ve just been my sample, but my sample contained far more meat and less bread.”

“I wasn’t expecting this result, but it made me realize that if you want a decent steak and cheese sandwich, The Corner Deli may be the best place to go. This bread is better suited for a steak and cheese sandwich. Could use more cheese, but didn’t have as much of a “burnt” taste as (Ray & Mike’s).”

“I had a feeling the second one was from The Corner Deli. Their sandwiches are usually filled to the max and a little greasy, and of course really good. The steak tastes more charred and flavorful. It was extra cheesy and a little greasier than the other one, which I think a steak and cheese should be.”

CHICKEN PARMESAN:

The Corner Deli

4-0

Ray & Mike’s

The Corner Deli

“I was shocked by this reveal as well. I’ve never had chicken parm at either place, but I know my roommates love the chicken parm at Ray & Mike’s. I thought the (The Corner Deli) one was much better than (Ray and Mike’s). It was extremely flavorful. The chicken was extremely tender.”

“I needed a napkin, and it was worth it. The (The Corner Deli) hit on the three key ingredients of a chicken parmesan sub: chicken, marinara sauce and cheese. I’d rather have lacking bread and a surplus of the three keys, and that’s what I got. While I liked both, I felt more satisfied by the sandwich from The Corner Deli.”

“Overall, there were clear differences between the two. I felt (The Corner Deli) was more satisfying. Nice and moist, which is good. Slides down my throat with ease. Kind of melted in my mouth. Could’ve used a bit more spice. There was more spice to the (Ray & Mike’s), but didn’t necessarily add anything to it.”

“The Corner Deli all the way. This wasn’t a contest at all. I really expected more from Ray and Mike’s. I think The Corner Deli is often overshadowed by Ray and Mike’s, especially since Ray and Mike’s is closer to the campus and therefore more easily accessible. However, I think The Corner Deli really made a name for itself in our challenge.”

WHAT’S IN

There are a lot of familiar names around campus, but who are they?

KATIE O’BRIEN/CHRONICLE

The man, the myth, the library. Most Quinnipiac students have been inside of Arnold Bernhard, but do they really know him? Here’s your chance to get a feel for Arnold, the investor.

HEY ARNOLD!

Meet the man behind the books By ANNA BRUNDAGE Former Senior Managing Editor Whether it's a serious relationship or just a fling at finals time, Quinnipiac students find themselves getting personal with Arnold Bernhard. Originally the Connecticut College of Commerce, founded in 1929, the school evolved over the past 82 years into today’s Quinnipiac University. When the first name change occurred in 1935 to the Junior College of Commerce, the school began its gradual assembly of a library named for “a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities.” Founder, publisher and editor of Value Line Investment Survey and Value Line Family of Mutual Friends, Bernhard was a hardworking first generation American. Talented in many areas, he took on Wall Street with his own resourcefulness and aca-

demic honesty. The motto of Bernhard’s Value Line is “Themost trusted name in investment research.” His commitment to the stock industry transformed the practice of security analysis. After Quinnipiac’s relocation to the Mount Carmel campus, monetary donations were made by the Bernhard family to construct the library and clock tower that is now the icon of the school. The library that once only held close to 4,000 texts now houses thousands more. “Arnie B,” as some students call it, has had many face-lifts since its construction at the center of campus. From an entire renovation and redesign of the clock tower to the recent installation of more study cubicles, the library accommodates and inspires more students than Bernhard could have imagined.

A NAME?

Don’t worry, The Chronicle has you covered.

McMahon Communications Center

Lender Business Center

It’s the Ed McMahon Mass Communications Center, which was dedicated in Sept. 1993, and was originally presented as part of the Lender School of Business Center. Ed McMahon was Johnny Carson’s sidekick on “The Tonight Show.” McMahon’s daughter is a 1971 graduate of Quinnipiac, and he reportedly supported the creation of the communications center because it would help young people break into the world of broadcasting. He had a great career and hoped that future QU graduates would go on to have successful, fulfilling careers.

Actually we do not have a “Lender School of Business,” Rather, we have the “Lender School of Business Center” – the building has a name, not the actual school (e.g. “Wharton School of Business” at UPenn). Murray Lender is a 1950 graduate of Quinnipiac. He and his brother Marvin Lender were involved in their famous family business, H. Lender & Sons restaurant chain and, most famously, Lender’s Bagels. The Lender brothers have been active supporters of Quinnipiac and other causes in the Greater New Haven area for years. Their reputation as successful businessmen, their generosity and Murray Lender’s service as the co-chairman of the 1993 fundraising campaign for the School of Business Center explain the Lender name on it.

Dean Evans CAS Dean Robert W. Evans joined the faculty of the Junior College of Commerce in the fall of 1945 as an instructor of psychology and philosophy. In 1950, he became director of the Evening Division and dean of continuing education. In 1966, he became dean of students when the college moved to its Mount Carmel location and served until 1983, when he stepped down as dean. He continued to serve as the assistant to the VP of Academic Affairs until 1985 when he fully retired. In 2002, alumna Helen (Lindenmeier) Blake ’51, one of Evans’ former students wanted to preserve his place at Quinnipiac, since he was – in her words – “a true teacher, one who changed lives.”

Buckman Center Clarice “Clare” Buckman was a businesswoman and philanthropist known for her strong commitment to improving higher education in the region. Her late husband, Jacob F. “Jack” Buckman, was a pioneer in electroplate technology and co-founded Enthone, Inc. of West Haven in the 1930s. Buckman assisted her husband as the company’s bookkeeper and they grew the company from a local shop to a multi-national chemical company in the 1950s. Mrs. Buckman passed away in 2000, after a lifetime of generosity in the region. The Buckman name can be found in another very prominent place on the Quinnipiac campus. Can you find it?

Tator Hall Samuel W. Tator, business professor and politician, founded Connecticut College of Commerce, a small business college, in 1929. With support from his wife, Irmagarde Tator, and Yale graduate, Judge Phillip Troup, the school enrolled 200 students. In 1930 eight students earned degrees as the first graduating class.

Albert Schweitzer Institute

The Albert Schweitzer Institute, named for philosopher and humanitarian Albert Schweitzer, is one of Quinnipiac’s most recognized institutions. Schweitzer’s belief in nuclear nonproliferation has reverberated to this day, as ASI Director David Ives and students recently traveled to Japan for a global conference on nuclear disarmament. Schweitzer famously founded a volunteer hospital in Gabon, Africa that functions to this day.
