Amy Tan, Award Winning Author to Visit HVCC

The award winning author is scheduled to visit the campus this November Courtesy of nytimes.com MARTIN ROBINSON EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Amy Tan will be coming Hudson Valley this semester. The award-winning author of such works as the Joy Luck Club is scheduled to deliver a lecture open to those on campus and to be present for a book signing reception at an event planned and sponsored by the HVCC English Dept. The event is scheduled to take place on Nov. 2. “I’m really thrilled she’s coming to HVCC,” said Maria Palmara, English Dept. Chairperson. Citing Hudson Valley’s large English Dept. and the courses to college offers to students, Palmara and other colleagues wanted to bring authors that would reflect the quality of the institution. “[Tan’s visit] is about the recognition that we have a large English Dept., strong writing programs and a liberal arts program; and so [a committee in the English Dept.] thought we needed to bring authors to enrich the learning experience here,” said Palmara. Tan would be on the list of award-winning authors and writers who have visited the campus previously. This includes Native American writer, Sherman Alexie along with the AfricanAmerican writer and 2011 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, Maya Angelou. In anticipation of the event, Palmara encouraged instructors in the English Dept. to incorporate some of Tan’s work into their curriculums for
this semester. Links will also be posted on the English Dept. website for students and faculty that want more access to material from the author, including quotes from Tan and lectures from her posted on YouTube. The Poetry Wall inside Brahan Hall was filled with cat poetry from a variety of writers chosen from English Dept. faculty. According to Palmara, the wall’s theme was inspired by Tan’s children’s book, Sagwa, The Chinese Siamese Cat. There will also be a contest open to students currently taking an English Comp. I course this
semester to write a response to one of Tan’s quotes. The ten best responses as determined by a panel of English Dept. faculty will be included in a booklet to be presented to Tan during the event. The students whose responses were chosen will have the opportunity to meet Amy Tan and to have one of her works given to them and personally autographed by the author. According to Palmara, Tan’s visit was inspired and modelled off of the Department’s previous success with Joyce Carol Oates campus visit and lecture last March.
“It was energizing to have Joyce Carol Oates on campus, and we were going to wait a year before bringing another author on campus, but this was too good not to wait again,” said Palmara. “The Joyce Carol Oates event went off so well that [the English Dept.] started planning on bringing another author on campus.” Palmara credited Maria Zemantauski, the Coordinator for Cultural Affairs for making Tan’s visit and the accompanying events possible. “[Zemantauski] was like a genie,” said Palmara when discussing her role in
arranging and booking Tan’s visit, along with planning the events around her lecture in November. Students shared their feelings about Tan’s upcoming visit on campus. “I think it’s good that the campus has authors come visit and speak to us,” said Kayla Smith, senior Liberal Arts. “It’s nice to get another point of view when discussing the material we read,” said Jessica Vitoulis, freshman Mortuary Science, who is currently reading some of Tan’s work. “It’s a good opportunity
for all the students here that are interested in English and the Humanities,” said Caleb Tremblay, senior Liberal Arts. “It would be silly not to go to this event and to experience what she has to say about her work, said Tremblay. Tan’s lecture and book signing reception will be free on open to those on campus. Palmara recommended that all students to attend this event if they have no classes at the time of her visit.
It’s Your Student Activities Fee KYLE BRYANS STAFF WRITER Each semester, every fulltime student is required to pay a $40 student activity fee which that is included in their tuition tuition bill. The hundreds of thousands of those dollars are organized by the Student Senate for our use. Students can find signs posted throughout the campus, as well as hear announcements on the monitors in the Campus Center. Events such as the Welcome Back Barbeque, the free pizza that is served on Thursdays, and the upcoming trip to New York City, and Fall Fest are all paid for with the activity fees. While so many people see the signs, some have no idea that
the fee goes to fund the widely advertised events. According to the school report, over $86,000 of the Student Activities iss allocated to providing Regal movie tickets to students at a reduced price of $5 per ticket. Freshman Andrew Mau has purchased movie tickets from the college but did not know that part of his tuition was funding the sale. Mau also stated that knowing these facts about his tuition rendered him more interested in future student events. Director of Student Life and Educational Opportunity Program Louis Coplin explained that he would like to see more students attend these events and
the clubs that are offered on campus. “We want students to be scholars, but we also want students to be involved in clubs,” said Coplin. The Director of Student Life explained that the Student Senate is doing well financially and would like to see more students come to events. “I would like to see more people take advantage of the opportunities,” s=aid Coplin. There are signs, bulletin boards, and advertisements around campus to notify students of upcoming events. More information can be obtained at the Student Activities Office, located upstairs in the Siek Campus Center.

Viking Football Team Continue Losing Streak, 37-0 KYLE GARRETT STAFF WRITER HVCC’s Viking football team failed to break their losing streak last Saturday, bringing their record down to 0-3 against Dean Junior College in another home game. At first, it looked to be much the same as last game, with an early Dean touchdown and field goal giving them the lead within the first few minutes of play, but the Viking defensive line held fast for the remainder of the first quarter, even stopping the Bulldogs cold at the ten yard line for most of the final minutes. A literal last-minute field goal was the only scoring move HVCC let slip by heading into the second quarter. As halftime drew closer, the game became a defensive stalemate. One touchdown from Dean broke through, and HVCC made a comeback attempt from an intercepted field goal immediately afterwards, but affairs ground down into a series of failed play after failed play as two strong defensive lines clashed. The Vikings’ offensive line showed little improvement from the game against Lackawanna, so while they were able to stop plays, they found themselves incapable of closing the gap against Dean. This was a source of frustration for some fans. “Get your hands up and catch the ball,” said one spectator during the second quarter. Despite frustration at the lackluster offense, fans were optimistic heading into halftime. “It’s a pretty good game; the defense [is] going, they’ve got
it there, but the offense just gotta get it clicking right now, before the game gets out of hand,” said Rasheed Oberton, a Business and Marketing major who played for Hudson Valley’s football team last year. “The quarter back has to throw the ball fast as he can, because the line [is] not gonna block for ever, give your receivers a chance and we will win this game… we are way better athletically than the other team.” Steve Whitney, a former student and now professional math tutor at the Learning Assistance Center, was inclined to agree. “I feel like Hudson Valley has a lot of potential, and hopefully they’re going to come around and… Hudson Valley has a chance to definitely win this thing. They’ve had a couple bad breaks, and you know, it’s time to turn this thing around. I think they’re going to go, go, go,” he said. “They just have to stop making stupid mistakes… I think if they stopped making the mistakes, then they’ll win the game.” This outlook didn’t last long. As the third quarter went on, Dean chipped away at HVCC’s defensive line, while the Vikings weren’t able to get close to scoring goals, rarely getting
past the fifty yard line and often trying the same failed play over and over. People began losing interest, as one spectator said, “[It] doesn’t matter; we’re not going to score anyway.” A seventy-four yard touchdown late in the quarter, and the following field goal, finally broke the Vikings’ defense. The fourth quarter came by without any progress for either team, but the Bulldogs’ victory was already secured, and much like in the game against Lackawanna, fans started leaving in the beginning of the quarter. “I don’t even know why I came over here,” said one in the crowd. The final score was 37-0, in favour of Dean Junior College. Head Coach Michael Muehling was obviously unhappy with the game’s outcome. “It’s very frustrating losing a game like that… I just know this team is a lot better than we’ve performed, and I shoulder a lot of that responsibility because I haven’t done my job of preparing them, so I’m going to see what I can do this week to hopefully give us a better chance,” said Muehling. Next week will be an away game, as the Vikings go to Buffalo to play against Erie Community College.

Fall Transfer Fair: “Something for Everyone”
MONET THOMPSON CREATIVE EDITOR This semester’s Fall Transfer Fair featured variety in both students and colleges. The fair, hosted by The Center for Counseling and Transfer (CCT) had colleges from all over NYS and New England. “There’s something for everyone here,” says Madison Keys, a first year Business major. “There’s a good balance of different schools, in and out of state… I wouldn’t change anything about it. I think they did a great job as is.” She also had praise for the transfer representatives, saying, “I really like that they reach out to you and find out what you’re interested in and talk about what they have to offer”, like the representative for Wells College, Zinc La Douce, whom she’d just finished talking to. La Douce was very interactive and passionate about his college, and waived the application fee for

ZACH HITT NEWS EDITOR The Maureen Stapleton Theater was less-than-full on Sept. 19, as faculty gathered to sit through an All College Meeting. Student Senate President Chad Coumbes and Rachel Bornn both spoke, but the keynote came from the Hudson Valley President, Drew Matonak. The meeting started a few minutes late, and President Matonak jested about the front row of seats being vacant, “just like a [class] lecture.” When Matonak took the stage, much of the audience had a sense that there would be few positive details to come out of this event. The college president made emphasized that the financial status of Hudson Valley Community College is taking a turn for the worst. “This college has done more with less than any other… institution,” Matonak explained, speaking of the college’s resiliency to the economic

problems of the within the last 5 years. The college president went on to say that the New York State economy has finally come to haunt HVCC, meaning that by 2015, the college is projected to lose millions of dollars. Added on to the list of problems the college faces enrollment is projected to decline. Last year, HVCC reached a record number of students: 14,000. This year, that number dropped down to about 13,700, and it is predicted to move to a lower amount in coming years. Matonak used these statistics to explain how enrollment has a direct correlation with finances and the college’s success therein. Matonak also spoke about the addition of a new science building. He showed a computer generated image of what it will look like. “It’s already been paid for,” he said, reassuring those present that the current financial situation HVCC is in will not affect the students’ ability to learn. The progress of the
building can be seen right near the Marvin Library. Coumbes spoke to the audience about the ongoing endeavors of the Student Senate, and how it is working to promote activities for students on campus, such as an upcoming trip to New York City. Rachel Bornn, an English Professor, and adviser to the Hudsonian, was elected adviser of the Academic Senate. She gave a presentation on the principles of shared governance and how it affects Hudson Valley. “We are all a part of the senate even if you are not [a(n) officially] elected member,” Bornn explained, making the point that the Academic Senate has every intention of listening to the student voice. Matonak’s message to the college was clear. HVCC faces fiscal bleak times ahead unless the economy takes a turn for the better.

THE DECLINE OF
Attention Loyal Readers!
Western Civilization
MONET THOMPSON CREATIVE EDITOR The recent remake of Straw Dogs, originally a 1971 film starring Dustin Hoffman, hit theaters earlier this month and automatically attracted attention due to a graphic rape scene. The aforementioned scene caused a big controversy in the 1971 version, and marked the start of a more violent era of cinema, along with A Clockwork Orange and Dirty Harry. Since then, film has only gotten more and more violent, and all the more graphic,
with little left to the imagination. Worst of all, violence has begun to lose its impact in film. In the 1971 version of Straw Dogs, there was an overlying theme of masculinity, and what it really meant to be a man. Fight Club also plays with the subject. Both films were not just about violence, but how and why people resort to it. The remake loses all sense of depth that the first one had, and it loses its point, and that’s what is so unsettling about most violent movies now. With movies like Hostel, whose
sole purpose is to shock with its sheer graphicness, and I Spit On Your Grave (the original made it onto TIME magazine’s “Top 10 Ridiculously Violent Movies”… and the remake was arguably much more explicit), how much farther can cinema go? What may be even more ridiculous is how the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rates these films. The issue is mentioned in the 2006 documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated, when several directors, including Mary Harron
and Kimberly Peirce (American Psycho and Boys Don’t Cry, respectively) shared their frustrations about the difficulty of getting an R rating, mostly for sex scenes. It’s ironic that the MPAA is harsher on sex scenes than it is on violence, seeing as rape and robbery and most violent activity is against the law and generally looked down upon. This just may be another example of the Decline of Western Civilization.

“I Don’t Know How She Does It” Doesn’t Know How To Please; Fails Dreadfully KYLE GARRETT STAFF WRITER “I Don’t Know How She Does It” was originally a novel by British journalist Allison Pearson, a comic work about the struggles of an overlymultitasking woman trying to balance her career with a good family life. By all accounts it was surprisingly witty, and endearing in a self-amused way, but oddly unaware of the fact there are worse things out there than having everything. Whether it was that good or people are just gullible, it didn’t take long in becoming a best-seller, even being endorsed by Oprah. So, of course, ten years later someone would try to make a film of it. Putting aside the question of if people in these hopeless economic times would have any interest in the woes of the rich (spoiler: They wouldn’t), the resulting product by director Douglas McGrath (Infamous) and writer Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada) makes one thing abundantly clear: “She does it”, and you’ll learn how, but you probably won’t care. Quite simply, this film is a mess. The jokes are unfunny, the characters are hollow stereotypes and there’s never a sense of arc or development, with them or in the overall plot. Things happen in a sequence that’s “by-the-numbers” to the point of boredom, and people don’t seem to so much accomplish things as luck into them. Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City) plays investment manager and mother
Sarah Jessica Parker and Greg Kinnear in “I Don’t Know How She Does It” Photo courtesy of rottentomatoes.com of two, Kate Reddy, not as a strong woman trying to juggle her career and family, but as an incompetent ditz who wouldn’t have the troubles she has if she’d bother talking to the people in her life. This clearly isn’t intentional, as the film all but has “YOU SHOULD EMPATHIZE WITH THIS WOMAN” flashing on the screen. On a few occasions, Parker even shatters the fourth wall by pausing the action to directly address the audience. Parker’s act as the shrill,
oversexed woman-child, a character which she doesn’t seem to have moved on from since “Sex and the City”, has overstayed its welcome, and instead of being a figure to identify with, Kate becomes incredibly annoying. This stands out all the more because of the supporting cast, as Parker is flanked by actresses who could easily have made a more interesting character of Reddy. Kate’s best friend Alison (Christina Hendricks) is largely relegated to mockumentary-style interludes where she decries
womens’ workplace issues, probably so the audience won’t realize Hendricks (best known for AMCs “Mad Men”) is the more competent of the two. Olivia Munn also steals the show in her scenes as Kate’s co-worker Momo, a chilly, super careerfocused woman Reddy refers to as being robotic. Oddly enough, Momo even occasionally talks like a robot (“System failure”, “does not compute”, etc.). Momo is sure she doesn’t want kids in her life, so naturally, she gets talked around in about
thirty seconds, in a scene that actually came off as somewhat distasteful. Munn and Hendricks share the mockumentary interludes with slimy co-worker Bunce (Seth Meyers) and a condescending stay-at-home mother (oh so subtly) named Wendy Best (Busy Phillips), who offer their own theories on parenting and the “battle of the sexes”. Except it’s not much of a battle, because even their best points come off as vapid, inane babble and the characters themselves are one-
dimensional caricatures. Meanwhile, Kate’s husband Richard (Greg Kinnear) and ridiculously-named boss/partner Jack Ablehammer (Pierce Brosnan) are actually fairly likable. Unfortunately, it’s clear they weren’t given much to work with. The drama is forced, the romance is tacked on, and the elements of genuine charm and wit that actually exist are so lost in the muck of everything else they aren’t worth searching for. The supporting cast gives the impression of smart, capable people weighed down by poor directing, a story that falls flat before it begins and a lead that is entirely wrong for the role. The effort is there, but the film tries so hard it stops being amusing and simply appears desperate to please. Another problem, which may or may not have just been a theatre issue, is iffy sound quality. The film spontaneously alternated between normal volume and being extremely quiet. This is not a film that can be recommended in good conscience. For romantic comedy fans, there are much better examples of the genre out there, and those who aren’t fans will get absolutely nothing out of “I Don’t Know How She Does It”. Give this one a skip.
