“I’m unhappy with the process they took to make the agenda,” said Sanchez.

“It’s being ignored. If you listen to the governor’s speech, he has not men­ tioned a rational tuition increase which is what the [Student Assembly] is trying to do.”

The SUNY Assembly sent this agenda to all schools in the system for consideration. Sanchez and the legisla­ tive body went over the agenda, split into priority sections I and II, point by point.

Senate Chair Terrell Coakley said further discussion of the agenda will take place to examine typographical er­ rors and the wording on some points of the agenda.

Sanchez urged the senators to look at the document carefully.

“They want to pass this and have support from all SUNY schools,” she said. “Don’t feel like you can’t question it.”

The agenda also included informa­ tion about the Tuition Assistance Pro­ gram, public­private partnerships and the Bundy Act. Some of the provisions discussed more power of procurement. Another stipulation of the act discussed putting more power in the hands of administra­ tors to make what they feel are neces­ sary purchases. Coakley said this pro­ vision will be further examined by the senate next week.

During the meeting, the senate also discussed the budgetary shortfall at SUNY New Paltz and the efforts SA members were putting forth to reach out

to students about the issue.

According to Coakley, Ryan was gathering opinions to possibly bring forth a committee that will re­examine the general education program next year.

At the meeting, the senators also discussed the open positions for the Budget and Finance Committee. Three seats remain vacant.

The next general meeting of the student senate will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 22 in Student Union 418.

Housing Project Seeking Approval

By Pamela Vivanco News Editor | Pvivanco57@newpaltz.edu

New York based commercial real estate development and construction company, Wilmorite Inc., is currently seeking approval from the town of New Paltz to begin the operation and construction of a two­phase, 210­unit housing project for students, faculty and staff on 50 acres of land adjacent to the campus.

Due to the need for additional student housing, !"#$ %&'($ '#)$ *+,!-$ ./012+!3/1$ 4$ +$ 1/!45/6476/8!$ foundation whose mission is to support the college ­ created Goshawk, LLC as a limited liability company to purchase the undeveloped land in 2007, said Executive Director of the SUNY New Paltz Foundation, Sally Cross in a letter to the Town Board of New Paltz.

Vice President of Student Affairs David Rooney said that even though the apartments would be adjacent to the campus, they are off­campus and run by an independent agency, without the normal structure of on­campus residence halls.

Wilmorite, which has developed similar projects for Rochester Institute of Technology and Syracuse University, submitted the conceptual plan for the proposed project called “Park Point Place at New Paltz” to the Town of New Paltz on November 2010 >+32$ @+?A3#$ B3%!#5+1/C$ D3?#$ 76#>32#1!$ /5$ 81+1?#$ +12$ administration.

The three primary elements of the plan included 20 buildings in total, 17 for students and three for faculty with a total of 780 beds, 720 for students and 60 for faculty, a clubhouse that would include a 8!1#>>$ 6//;C$ ,/01E#$ +12$ ;+1+E#;#1!$ /58?#>$ +12$ +$ maintenance shop.

SUNY New Paltz currently houses just under 3,000 full­time undergraduate students, according to Rooney.

“We'd like everybody who wants to live on campus to be able to, but we can't build residence halls as fast as the demand for on­campus housing has grown,” he said.

SUNY New Paltz transfer students are not offered on­campus housing, but Rooney said the !6+1>5#6$ 7/70,+!3/1$ ?/0,2$ =#1#8!$ +$ ,/!$ 56/;$ !"3>$ project.

“I think we do disservice our transfer students by kind of forcing them to go beyond the campus boundaries and really not engage with the campus as much as I think they would like to or had the opportunity to if they lived on campus,” said Rooney.

F,!"/0E"$!"#$2#D#,/7;#1!$3>$=#31E$>7#?38?+,,G$ designed to house SUNY New Paltz students who are unable to live on­campus due to overcapacity, a portion of the project is dedicated to accommodate housing for New Paltz faculty. “…Convenient and affordable housing, especially for new employees, will help the College continue to attract and retain great faculty who can more readily participate in the life [of students] both in the classroom and importantly out of the classroom,” said DiStefano.

Jade Rankin, an education graduate student, said it would be great if faculty actually took advantage of proximate off­campus housing.

“When we do have severe weather, if the housing is that close then it would enable the faculty members to still come to campus to hold class, so in that respect it’s good,” said Rankin.

In his November faculty report, Interim President Donald Christian said cost and availability of local housing creates a challenge for many new faculty and >!+55C$ !"+!$ #12$ 07$ ,3D31E$ >3E138?+1!$ 23>!+1?#>$ +)+G$ from campus.

“This project will provide affordable townhouse­style apartments at the edge of campus,” said Christian. “We believe that the availability of proximate housing will assist us in our continuing efforts to recruit top­quality candidates who wish to work and live in the New Paltz community.”

Once Wilmorite drafts an Environmental Impact Statement (EPI), the Town Planning Board will review that statement and recommend it to the Town Board, according to Cross. The approval process will take approximately 18 months to complete and Wilmorite hopes to begin the project a few months after the end of the process.

“As they look through this approval process, it is just a concept,” said DiStefano. “It's like a nine­inning game and they are just starting.”

“Honors certainly contributes to the overall excellence of college,” said Jeffrey Miller, director of the schools’ Honors Program that is open to all students on campus. “Retention rates, already high at New Paltz, are even higher among members of the Honors program, and our emphasis on excel­ lence and research mean that a substantial portion of our graduates go on to receive advanced degrees.”

While the Honors Program is open to all stu­ dents of academic excellence based on coursework, recommendation letters and writing samples, ac­ cording to Miller, students in the program are re­

Both programs only take about 100 students each against New Paltz’s campus of about 6,000 students. But the size, Cohen­LaValle said, is some­ thing that only helps the student while they are mak­ 31E$!"#36$86>!$+2<0>!;#1!>$31$+$1#)$>#!!31E$)"3?"$3>$ different from home, thus making the small size a =#1#8!K 9%!02#1!>$ 31$ .(L$ E#!$ !/$ A1/)$ /D#6$ MNN$ 86>!4 year students like themselves, making the transition to a new place and balancing school and college life,” said Cohen­LaValle. “They get an opportunity to do community service together and have resident

Not only does the FYI program have students meet each other by taking some of the same classes, FYI students are also presented with trips around the area where students can also meet outside of the classroom, such as the trip taken during the fall se­ mester to Mohonk Mountain.

While the Honors Program also focuses on as­ >3;3,+!31E$>!02#1!>C$#>7#?3+,,G$86>!4G#+6>$!/$?/,,#E#$ life, they place a strong focus on academics not just in the classroom, but for the eventual departure out into the world.

“Programs like Honors bring academic enrich­ ment to SUNY New Paltz through small seminar based classes, a focus on undergraduate research, preparation for graduate school and an enhanced sense of community,” said Miller. “We look to prepare students for further graduate work, later employment, but most of all to be citizens of the world. We want them to leave SUNY New Paltz with an excellent foundation for their later pur­ suits in life…Whether that means going on to get an advanced degree, starting a business or pursuing other interests.”

NPmail Server Test Showed No Error

By John Brandi Copy Editor | Jbrandi02@newpaltz.edu

The NPmail server was inaccessible for over an hour due to a maintenance test on Sunday, Feb. 6.

According to Paul Chauvet, UNIX & Linux Systems administrator, these maintenance tests are not on a set schedule and happen no more than once or twice per year. He said the last outage was announced as taking up to three hours in case !"#$%&'()*+,$-*&*$.'/"01$!"0$234!"5./))#6$34*&*$-*&*$"'$7)*$ system errors and no repair was needed.

Car­Sharing Service Arrives on Campus

Students have already registered for the SUNY New Paltz car­ sharing program introduced this semester.

Students have the option to rent two different cars, a Toyota RAV4 and a hybrid Prius, through Connect by Hertz.

Campus Auxiliary Services (CAS) signed a contract with the Connect by Hertz program last semester and now students can sign up for a membership online at connectbyhertz.com to take out a car. The membership includes an initial fee and there will be monthly fees after this payment is made.

Students Evacuated From Egypt

By Maxim Alter Managing Editor | Malter42@newpaltz.edu

Following political unrest in Egypt, three SUNY New Paltz students were evacuated from the American University of Cairo (AUC) just two weeks into their studies overseas.

According to Carlton Rounds, assistant director of the Center for International Programs (CIP) at SUNY New Paltz, each student was safely transported from Cairo after tensions began to mount in the region and an emergency evacuation was declared in early February.

“We thought we were going to have more time and we were going to wait and see, but the situation went from being fairly sort of mild to ‘all Americans go to the airport right now,’” Rounds said.

“Thankfully, we have an incredibly sophisticated emergency and evacuations procedures plan at New Paltz.”

Rounds said constant communication was maintained with students through e­mail, landlines and other methods provided by AUC during the emergency period.

Because SUNY New Paltz has a long­ standing partnership with AUC, Rounds !"#$%&'()(%*"!%+#&&+(%$#,-./+&0%#1%2+"11#13% the evacuation with each student even while Egypt’s Internet became an unreliable method of exchange.

“Whenever you have a study abroad program, it’s your foreign partner that’s really crucial to the safety,” Rounds said.

“The [AUC] is a very sophisticated, very well resourced and a very safe school, so they were really on top of it before anybody.”

However, not all three students returned to New Paltz after evacuating Egypt.

When third­year senior and double major in international relations and Women’s Studies Ashley Drzymala was told Wednesday, Feb. 2 that she had to be on a plane out of Cairo the following day, she said she felt like she was being torn from an important moment in history.

“I wanted to stay there with every inch of my body,” Drzymala said. “I decided to study in Ifrane, Morocco immediately after because I am interested in what’s happening in the region and secretly hoping something similar will begin here.”

Siding with protestors in the removal of Hosni Mubarak from his presidential seat, Drzymala said she only became truly

Drzymala sided with protestors in the removal of Hosni Mubarak from his presidential seat during her brief stay in Cairo. concerned for her safety when she was around pro­Mubarak protestors.

Even during such a brief stay, Drzymala said she became emotionally invested and attached to those protesting for democracy and wishes she could have stayed in the country during such an “eye­ opening and inspiring experience.”

“The passion Egyptians have for their country and their people is unlike anything I have ever seen before,” she said. “All of the people came together to help each other, to lend each other money when the banks were closed, to cook for each other when the stores were closed…it was honestly the most amazing experience of my life and I’m so grateful I was a part of it.”

Rounds said work was done to help students returning to SUNY New Paltz register for classes for the spring semester and transportation costs were covered by emergency evacuation insurance.

But if a student chose to continue studying abroad in a different country like

Drzymala did, Rounds said adjustments were made to cover the costs for the new program.

“Quite frankly this doesn’t happen very often, so some of this is a little bit uncharted territory,” Rounds said. “What we do is work to make sure that there’s as +#&&+(%!&)(!!%"1$%-1"1.#"+%+4!!%&4%&'(%!&/$(1&% because it’s not their fault that the country had a revolution.”

In Interim President Donald Christian’s February report to the faculty, the efforts of groups and individuals on campus were praised for helping to support not only the three students who were evacuated from Egypt, but the seven students from Egypt studying abroad at SUNY New Paltz.

Christian also said he applauded the efforts of the staff working to help students studying abroad.

“The Center for International Programs has done a marvelous job working with our students both here and in Egypt and with their parents,” Christian said. “A number of faculty and department

chairs have been wonderfully cooperative in arranging academic schedules for the students whose studies at [AUC] were interrupted by the unrest in Egypt.”

Although SUNY New Paltz still maintains a great relationship with the AUC, Rounds said the CIP’s primary concern will always be the well­being of the students studying abroad.

“I’d rather have students home and safe and then we can try to work getting them into another program or maybe go back to [AUC] in the future when things calm down,” Rounds said.

“Until we can verify that everything is going to be predictable and more placid and safe, we’re not going to send any students.”

RecycleMania Returns to New Paltz TOURNAMENT RETURNS TO CAMPUS WITH COMPREHENSIVE CHANGES

By Maeve Halliday Features Editor | Mhalliday74@newpaltz.edu

Organizers said the spirit of friendly competition and environmental awareness is spreading through­ out campus as the RecycleMania Tournament returns to New Paltz.

Recycling Coordinator of New Paltz Recylces Lauren Brois said that as with last year’s event, New Paltz will be competing against universities all across the nation to see who can recycle the most per capita, with a sub competition among the residence halls on the New Paltz campus. The Tournament began this past Monday, Feb. 2, and runs until April 2.

Brois said while not all students at SUNY New Paltz are gung­ho about recycling, this year’s Recy­ cleMania event hopes to draw attention and partici­ pation from a larger constituency than merely the en­ vironmentally conscious.

“I think the RecycleMania program offers a new incentive for recycling and going green. Recycling

saves energy, preserves natural resources, prevents pollution and helps make our habits more sustain­ able,” Brois said. “Through the tournament we can reach out to students who might not necessarily re­ cycle but are interested in other aspects of the com­ petition.”

RecycleMania 2011 will be slightly different than last year’s tournament due to some changes made by the event’s coordinators. This year, only the weight of recyclables from the Residence Halls will be re­ corded for purposes of the competition, whereas last year weights were taken from the campus as a whole.

Assistant Director of Facilities Operations and Maintenance Kim Nelson said that these changes were made in response to the behavior of other schools and were not due to New Paltz’s performance.

“Last year we did campus wide and it went very smoothly and we did very well, however, the way other campuses were participating was question­ able,” Nelson said. “They were holding on to a year’s worth of recycling and then pumping it through for

RecycleMania and it skewed the numbers. When that happens we aren’t able to compete in a fair and equal way. So we decided to pull back to residence halls and focus in on having a friendly, fun competi­ tion.”

In an effort to build the spirit of recycling throughout campus, the Recycling Club will be host­ ing a kickoff event for RecycleMania on Feb. 17 in the Student Union. The event, Game Show Night, will put an environmentally­conscious spin on a number of classic television game shows, includ­ ing “Wheel of Fortune” and “Legends of the Hidden Temple.”

Brois said students can get together in a group, whether it be from a team, club or just a group of friends, and sign­up to compete in the games. The winning team will receive $500 worth of custom printed t­shirts for their group or organization.

More information about RecycleMania or New Paltz Recycles can be found on the “New Paltz Re­ cycles” Facebook or greenthinking.newpaltz.edu.

Hello! My name is Pamela Vivanco. Each week I will present one basic sustainable practice. Some will only serve as reminders and some might be methods that you and I have never even considered! The goal of my column is to re­emphasize the sustain­ able efforts that have been made by many members of the SUNY New Paltz community. With the help of environmentally­ friendly friends and experts, I hope to provide tips and sources toward becoming better friends with our earth. So let’s begin!

Sustainable solution #1: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

“Reducing and recycling are criti­ cal pieces of decreasing waste and increasing sustainability. All of these methods work to lessen the amount of waste, which in turn saves ener­ gy, prevents pollution and conserves natural resources. Practicing the three R’s can lead to the fourth R­ rethink­ ing.” ­Recycling Coordinator Lauren Brois.

Reduce, Reuse: Even though recycling is highly encouraged and a great habit to have, we must not lose sight of the !"#$%&'()*+$,+&-*+.%/&+&0$+12/3+4(*+$,+ the best ways to help our environment is by reducing our consumption levels altogether, by preventing waste. But, $,+)$5%/*+.(6!(7+0'8/+&$+%*5/*+0-'&+ we don’t want is extremely important too. We can repair, give away or reuse in different ways.

1. Think before you print. Unless you really need to have a physical copy of something, avoid printing it and read

from the computer screen. Be sure to print double­sided pages!

2. Instead of buying new notebooks each semester, try to use old ones that still have blank pages. And be sure to write on both sides of each page, please.

3. Instead of using plastic or paper bags to carry your lunch while you’re on campus, get a lunch bag or just throw it in your backpack. Also, in­ stead of getting plastic Ziploc bags, invest in reusable Tupperware for sandwiches and snacks!

4. Water! Instead of buying plastic bottles, buy a reusable water bottle that you can take to campus every day '(6+ .99+ 5#+ 0-*(*:*%+ 8$5+ 0'(&3+ ;$5+ can even use old jars.

5. Instead of taking home plastic bags every time you go shopping, invest in a few tote bags that you can take to the market each week. If you forget your tote bags, reuse plastic bags for bathroom or bedroom trash bins.

6. One person’s trash is another per­ son’s treasure. Instead of throwing out your clothes, shoes, toys, furniture, go to local centers that take donations,

like The Salvation Army or Family of New Paltz. Some­ body else might get some use out of it.

And when it’s warm out, consider hav­ ing a yard sale or a clothes swapping party/session!

7. Get creative with materials! Use old newspaper as gift wrap­ ping paper.

8. Avoid using disposable products like cups and plates.

9. Avoid buying heavily packaged products.

CC: It’s been 12 years. I used to work at SUNY Oneonta and it was just one of those things where a New Paltz position opened up and I’ve always loved the area. I stayed overnight in Scud­ der and I saw a student of mine from Oneonta and he held the door open for me as I was going in. Life is just a small world and a series of incredible experiences and he was a sign. After I spent a whole evening with New Paltz students, I loved it.

AY: Do you have any words of wisdom or anything you want to say to students who are graduating and moving on with their lives?

CC: You know, when I tell people I work at a college, they always ask me what I teach and I tell them I teach life les­ sons. It’s about learning about who you are and Residence Life teaches you outside the classroom. Be passionate about what you do in life. Live it to the fullest because you only have one.

Dorsky Does A Decade

THE SAMUEL DORSKY MUSEUM OF ART CELEBRATES WITH NEW LOGO AND EXHIBITS

By Zan Strumfeld A&E Editor | Sstrumfeld34@newpaltz.edu

The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art (SDMA) will be !"#"$%&'()*+ (',+ -.'/+ &))(0"%,&%1+ '/(,+ 1"&%2+ 3('/+ &)+ 456!(&#+ dedication in October 2011. The museum will begin the celebration with a number of new exhibits, followed by a published catalogue and a series of parties.

The SDMA began as the College Art Gallery in 1964 as one large room (now known as the Alice and Horace Chan­ dler Gallery). Neil C. Trager, the former director, was able to secure funds to build other galleries. In October 2001, the museum expanded from 3,000 to 9,000 square feet and all the galleries were opened to the public.

“It’s a young museum,” said Sara Pasti, the Neil C. Trager director of SDMA. “Since we can’t create our niche on historic art, we can create one with contemporary artists.

7/"+89:,4)+;&##"1+(,+6##":+3('/+&%'(,',<+=4+-..+1"&%,+5%4>+ now, we will have an exemplary amount of work.”

The museum began its celebration with an unveiling of the new Dorsky logo on Feb. 11. According to Pasti, they based the logo off the new SUNY New Paltz logo revealed last year. The Dorsky decal shows the same outline of the mountains, the silhouette of the Atrium with an additional capital “D” slanted on its side. “The Dorsky” is imprinted underneath the image.

“We’re thrilled with it. Hopefully, over time we’ll be called The Dorsky, which is an easier way to refer to the museum,” said Pasti.

Although Pasti has only been the director for two years, she said she is always thinking ahead.

“This is the beginning of our next 10 year cycle,” said Pasti. “It’s given me a chance to look back at exhibitions and see the legacy my predecessors set up that I can bring forth to the future.”

The Dorsky has also started to digitize their collections onto a website. Through www.hrvh.org/hvvacc, there are over 200 artworks featured from a collection of a variety of art mediums. In the fall, The Dorsky will have a physical exhibit to show the works going online.

“We’re hoping that all 15,000 objects in the museum will be online in the next three years,” said Pasti.

There will also be a catalogue published in June where people associated with the museum can write comments about The Dorsky and how much it meant to them, accord­ ing to Pasti. The catalogue will also list all of the shows done in the past 10 years and their highlights.

The museum is currently focusing on the Hudson River

“We’re always open for people proposing events,” said Pasti.

Curator Brian Wallace said he encourages students to check out The Dorsky all­year round.

“All year we’re going to be showing a variety of art­ work and people should poke their heads in pretty often because exhibits change every couple of months,” Wallace said. “I hope people will check our website frequently be­ cause we have a lot of events coming up involving comedi­ ans, a talk on the artist Marc Chagall and probably an event with the New Paltz cheerleading squad.”

Pasti said she hopes that student groups will want to hold events in the museum.

“It’s a place to go to get into another world,” said Pasti.

“The value of art takes you out of your day­to­day life.”

Shed This ‘Skin,’ MTV

AMERICA DELIVERS A POOR IMITATION OF THE BRITISH TV SHOW

By Leo DaVilgen Contributing Writer | N02004453@newpaltz.edu

MTV’s “Skins,” which premiered ear­ lier this year, is a sexualized, hetero­sexist, Americanized, poor imitation of an inno­ vative British TV series. It shows no origi­ nality.

For those foreign to British television, the original 2007 “Skins” is a series written

by Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain about the lives of a group of high school friends.

The fact that the American “Skins” comes up short is to be expected. America has a track record for adapting British tele­ vision and doing a poor job; “The Elev­ enth Hour” and “Life on Mars” are both examples. The only exception to the rule that I can think of is Showtime’s “Queer as Folk.”

Advertisers don’t seem to favor the show either, mainly for its portrayal of teens engaging in sex and drug­use rather than the show’s lack of originality. Schick,

Subway, H&R Block, Taco Bell, Wrigley and GM have all pulled their advertising from the show.

In the original “Skins” there is a char­ acter called Maxxie who is gay. Maxxie is treated no differently than the other charac­ ters, not even Tony, the high school “play­ boy.” I want to make it clear that Maxxie isn’t the “gay character.” He is a character who happens to be gay. In the American version, Maxxie is replaced with Tea, a lesbian cheerleader. A comment is made by one of the guys about “converting” her so that he could have a threesome with Tea and another girl.

There is a double standard with les­ bian couples and gay couples in Ameri­ can society. Men don’t have (as much of) a problem with women being sexual with !"#$%&'(%)*&+$,-.*$&"#$/&012&("&3#!"45&6."&(7& two guys start kissing in front of them, they 012&("&2(*'.*"(1'4&8%9&(1&"#$&,-*$&!7&3:.$$%& as Folk,” they go out of their minds and

bash a guy with a baseball bat.

This clearly says something about Americans and how they deal with modern issues in popular teen media. There needs to be a lesbian that straight men can sexu­ alize instead of a gay man.

The original “Skins” didn’t cen­ sor words like “fuck,” nor did it treat the sexual material in the way that Hollywood does. The original showed the sexual sto­ rylines as more life­like and real. To put it simply, the British version was a drama and the American version is a soap opera for teens (and did I mention the acting is bad?).

Remaking “Skins” with American ac­ tors was unnecessary. The original stands on its own. MTV should have just aired the original. If you are interested in watching “Skins,” please watch the British version.

You will get much more enjoyment out of it than MTV’s.

What is your instrument of choice? Why? Electric Bass. I’ve always gravitated towards bass.

I grew up listening to a lot of reggae and ska, and bass is very prominent in those styles. I guess the real reason would be because sophomore year of high school, my best friend started playing bass and then he gave up and I just took it – and then I fell in love.

Who are you currently listening to and who !"#$%&'"$(!)*$)*+'#*,#-.

Jamiroquai, Marcus Miller and Hepcat. I’m heav­ !"#$!%&'(%)(*$+#$,-.$.%*$/(00.($.%*$.",1$2'%-$.%*$ soul. The Temptations and James Jamerson and Stevie Wonder. For reggae and ska: The Toasters, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Jimmy Cliff.

What are you involved in on/off­campus that is music related?

I play with several groups such as Quatrane and Liana & the Michaels. I run a jazz quartet call the Ben Basile Quartet (BBQ). My main group is In The Pocket, which I play with my twin brother Tony and we are a funk/soul/party/dance band.

What will you do with your degree?

Czech Mate: Chleboun Sets Up Stateside

PHOTO BY ANDREW WYRICH

Jakub Chleboun (no. 13) transferred from the Czech Republic to play volleyball for the Hawks and his recent play have been a driving force in the Hawk’s SUNYAC dreams.

By Andrew Wyrich Sports Editor | Andrew.wyrich63@newpaltz.edu

In his native country of the Czech Re­ public, Jakub Chleboun would spend hours practicing his passion – volleyball.

Chleboun, who is a transfer­student playing for the Men’s Volleyball team this season, has been a top performer for the Hawks and hopes to be an integral piece in their quest for a spot in the SUNYACs. “I love volleyball,” Chleboun said. “In general, if I am passionate about something, I try to do it a lot.”

Chleboun currently has 20 kills this season, is sixth on the team in blocks and currently averages just under a kill per set.

Chleboun also averages 0.64 digs per set and is one of the Hawk’s top players on de­ fense.

Chleboun came to SUNY New Paltz as part of an exchange program, after be­ ing chosen to transfer as part of a program at Charles University in Prague. Chleboun said he had wanted to visit the United States before he graduates and begins to work full time, so the decision to spend a semester

playing volleyball was easy.

After exchanging e­mails with Head Coach Radu Petrus over the past months, Chleboun came to New Paltz on Jan. 19 and began practicing soon after.

In the Czech Republic, Chleboun played for many teams and his home club is now SK Dansport Praha. Chleboun was also part of the Junior Extraleague Champion­ ship team on USK Praha in 2006.

“There are a lot of fond memories,” Chleboun said. “It had always been my dream and it came true.”

In the team’s short season, Chleboun has helped the team win in many ways. On Feb. 11, Chleboun scored a New Paltz ca­ !""!#$%&$'(%("')*%(+,'-(.'$-.'/0"'.%&,'%('+$"' team’s win against Medaille College during the Nazareth Tournament.

Chleboun followed his strong perfor­ mance in the Nazarath Tournament by scor­ ing 7.5 points in each of his last two games.

After only scoring two and a half points in $%,' /!,+' 1*2!' 3-+4$",5' 6$7"8*2(' $-,' -0"!­ -&".'9:;')*%(+,'*0"!'$%,'7-,+'/0"'&-3",:' As a setter in the Czech Republic,

Chleboun said he was involved in every play and enjoyed it, but has noticed many differences in the rules of the game in his short time in New Paltz.

According to Chleboun during games in the Czech Republic, if the ball hits the ceiling during the match the game ends and instead of 15 switches allowed during a set,

only six are allowed.

While Chleboun primarily played setter while in the Czech Republic, Petrus said that he has been playing outside hitter this sea­ son because of his ability to handle the ball.

“He is a positive player on the court,” Petrus said. “He helps the team win. That is a big part of Jakub.”

The one player I can’t really understand being taken seriously as a candidate is Justin Turner. Turner, who was claimed by the Mets off waivers from the Orioles in May, was added to the roster late last season. Turner doesn’t have any outstanding qualities as a player and projects, at best, to be a “25th man” kind of :)!'&/#0%*#?!.#-#))#5.#51#!("*)A$&)'#.&&2&2C# G5+5)!/#$*#DA/.&/#5"#1*/+&/#H*"#I.;&)&"#4*2;8 er Chin­lung Hu.

However, his ability to crush minor league pitching has not translated at the major league level. Hu is also out of minor league options, which means if he does not make the 25 man roster this spring he will have to pass through waivers before he can be sent down to AAA Buffalo. In essence, it appears that if Hu does not make the team his Met career will be short.
