Director of Health Students evacuated to Rec Center, classes canceled Services passes away CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT

Classes and all university operations on Mount Carmel Campus will remain closed until Monday Nov. 5 due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, according to an e-­mail to the student body. Students on the campus are being encouraged by the university to return home due to struggles with generator power. Larson, Perlroth, Troup and Complex residence halls have been running without power since Monday, according to the email. ³:H GRQ¶W KDYH D ¿UP WLPH or date when power will return,” Associate Vice President for Public Relations John Morgan said. On Saturday at 9:37 p.m., the university canceled all classes on Monday and Tuesday in preparation for the category 1 hurricane. Earlier in the day, Gov. Dannel Malloy declared a state of emergency. President Barack Obama declared an expedited major disaster for New Haven County, among other counties in Connecticut.

Several buildings on the Mount Carmel campus have been running on generator power since Monday evening. At the peak of the outages, nearly 8,000 Hamden residents were without power.

Quinnipiac University lost its long-­time director of Student Health Services on Monday. Kathryn Macaione died at Yale-­ New Haven hospital after a brief ill-­ ness, according to a statement from the university. She was 75. “The University was saddened to hear of the passing of Kathy Ma-­ caione, the director of Student Health Services who dedicated 42 years of service to Quinnipiac,” Vice Presi-­ dent for Public Affairs Lynn Bush-­ nell said. “During her career, Kathy touched the lives of literally thou-­ sands of students, faculty and staff who respected her professionalism, compassion and dedication to pro-­ viding high-­quality care and educat-­ ing the university community about WKH PDQ\ EHQH¿WV RI OLYLQJ D KHDOWK\ lifestyle.

aUniversity new toall-access pass become second school with master’s degree in sports journalism

By JON ALBA Staff Writer

The School of Communica-­ tions is set to offer a master’s degree in sports journalism. This move will make Quinnipiac the second university in the nation to offer such a degree. Assuming approval from the faculty senate and the state, the program will be in place for Fall 2013. Associate Professor of Journalism and Head of the Graduate Journalism Department Richard Hanley will oversee its development. “Currently students are en-­ couraged to take a sequence of courses oriented towards sports but ultimately obtain a M.S. in Journalism,” Hanley said. “They can take those classes with this, but the degree instead will say ‘M.S. in Sports Journalism.’” The decision to join Indiana University as the only schools to offer such a degree was an easy

one, Hanley said. Quinnipiac is located within what professionals refer to as an “economic cluster,” which is when outlets related to the industry gather around a cer-­ tain geographic area. “We have an arc that includes ESPN, MSG, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, YES, SNY, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Films and so on,” Hanley said. “In addition to that, we have all the magazines and all the writing vessels like Sports Il-­ lustrated and other websites.” The new program will take as-­ pects of the track that is currently offered, but will be taught by ad-­ juncts from within the industry, according to Hanley. “They come right from the ESPN studio to teach students about sports broadcasting,” Han-­ ley said. “We are depending on adjuncts to teach these classes because it serves two purposes: experts and contacts.” School of Communications

Dean Lee Kamlet requested an upwards of $500,000 in funding for the program. The money will go toward new equipment and upgrades, including a venture that will put prospective students right in the middle of a professional en-­ vironment. “We’re hoping to build a re-­ mote sports trailer for our sports production,” Kamlet said. “I think it’s something that will be of huge use to the program and to the uni-­ versity;; it goes beyond the School of Communications.” The proposed trailer will have the capabilities of a functioning production truck used in the pro-­ IHVVLRQDO ¿HOG ,W ZLOO VXSSRUW IXOO replay capacities, editing soft-­ ware, audio support, graphics and more. Content will be distributed online through various Quinni-­ piac student-­run outlets, and may even be used higher up. “ESPN has contacted us be-­ cause they are interested in cov-­

ering Quinnipiac sports online on ESPN3, so that may be an option in the future as well,” Hanley said. Kamlet says he believes the program will be greatly improved as a result of the addition. “I think it will make the journalism program much more attractive because of the spe-­ cialization and because of the never-­ending appetite for sports content,” he said. “It’s more than just game production because that’s not just what we’re doing here;; we’re training journalists to get involved with in-­depth report-­ ing. It demands a specialization in sports journalism that isn’t avail-­ able now.” If all goes as planned, Hanley believes this degree will elevate Quinnipiac to levels it has never been before. “Five years from now, we will be the premier sports journalism program in the nation,” he said. “No question. Can’t wait.”

The  contestants  were  put  to  the  test,  and  had  to  respond  to  witty,  Quinnipiac-­related  questions  to  show  off  their  personalities  in  one  round.  A  contestant  was  asked,  â€œIf  you  were  a  sub  from  Mondo’s,  what  kind  of  sub  would  you  be,â€?  which  promptly  received  a  suggestive  response  that  had  the  crowd  go-­ ing  wild. The  talent  section  proved  to  be  equally  en-­ tertaining,  despite  the  lack  of  diversity  in  the  performances.  Random  people  who  were  not  DIÂżOLDWHG ZLWK 63% RU WKH FRQWHVW HQWHUHG %XUW Kahn  in  Halloween  costumes  and  ran  through  the  audience  during  the  contestants’  talent  por-­ tion  of  the  competition. 7HQ FRQWHVWDQWV ÂżYH PHQ DQG ÂżYH ZRPHQ took  the  stage  in  Burt  Kahn.  But  in  the  end,  Romano  and  Hinson’s  antics  made  them  stand Â

out  among  the  rest. During  Romano’s  talent,  she  fooled  the  audience  in  a  good  way.  Romano  walked  on  stage  equipped  with  a  guitar  and  told  the  audi-­ ence,  in  a  somber  voice,  that  she  was  going  to  play  her  grandmother’s  favorite  song.  After  some  light  strumming,  she  began  to  deliver  an  acoustic  rendition  of  â€œMy  Humpsâ€?  by  the  Black  Eyed  Peas,  a  comical,  unexpected  twist  that  won  over  the  judges. But  all  comedy  aside,  Romano  showed  she  could  be  a  good  representation  of  Quinnipiac. “I’m  very  passionate  about  Quinnipiac,  and  I  wanted  to  take  advantage  of  the  opportu-­ nity  to  have  a  good  time  and  to  just  show  my  love  for  the  university,â€?  Romano  said. Hinson’s  background,  recent  struggles  and  strong  heart  also  made  him  stand  out.

IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN (1966) This  movie  is  a  classic  Hal-­ ORZHHQ ÂżOP &KDUOLH %URZQÂśV EHVW friend,  Linus,  believes  there  is  a  Great  Pumpkin  that  visits  only  the  most  â€œsincereâ€?  pumpkin  patch  on  Halloween.  Instead  of  going  to  a  party  and  trick-­or-­treating  with  the  rest  of  the  Peanut  gang,  he  sits  in  the  pumpkin  patch  awaiting  the  arrival  of  the  Great  Pumpkin.

“I  would  have  done  this  last  year,  but  I  had  to  get  jaw  surgery,  which  nearly  cost  me  my  life,â€? Hinson  said.  â€œI’ve  been  so  much  better  and  I  was  just  so  pumped  that  I  could  do  it  this  year.  I just  love  the  spirit  part  of  it  all.  It’s  been  something  I’ve  wanted  to  do  for  a  while.â€? Despite  his  previous  struggles,  Hinson  re-­ mained  in  high  spirits  the  entire  show.  He  was  respectable  and  chose  not  to  get  caught  up  in  his  past. Both  Romano  and  Hinson’s  high  en-­ ergy  had  everyone  watching  in  the  Quinni-­ piac  spirit.  It’s  safe  to  say  that  both  winners  equally  deserve  their  titles  and  each  truly  embodies  a  well-­rounded,  passionate  Quin-­ nipiac  student.

For  the  eighth  year  in  a  row,  the  Quinnipiac  women’s  cross  country  team  took  home  the  Northeast  Con-­ ference  Championship,  the  longest  consecutive  conference  title  run  in  NEC  history. “Eight  straight  titles  is  incred-­ ible,â€?  Quinnipiac  head  coach  Caro-­ lyn  Martin  said.  â€œIt’s  incredible  to  put  that  many  championships  to-­ gether  in  a  row.â€?
