TeePee the Tree

It’s that time of year again! Embrace the former half of “trick-or-treat” because it is time to teepee the tree. Be there on Monday, Oct. 30 around 11:50 p.m. to partake in this annual Saint Rose trick!

Yearly on the night before Halloween, this tradition gets thrown. Students gather on the quad as midnight approaches, and once the clock strikes twelve, they launch rolls of toilet paper across the tree. All toilet paper is provided for par- ticipants. The tradition started as a way to let students have some mischievous fun while not disturbing the surrounding community. The toilet paper thrown on this night will be left decorating the tree until nature takes its course.

This event is sponsored by the Student Association. Any questions about it can be directed to Sonia Morreira, director of social activities for SA, at moreeiras341@strose. edu.

Meyer discussed resources available about Advisement Day, which would be especially useful for first year and transfer students. On the Saint Rose website, click “Academics,” look at the right sidebar, click “Academic Resources” and then “Academic Advising.” There, students will find a PowerPoint presentation as well as a video detailing how to register for classes. Meyer can be reached in his office on the third floor of Saint Joseph’s Hall past the Career Center.

Topic of the Week: Diversity and Inclusion on Campus

The topic revolved around potential initiatives for Saint Rose to move towards gender-neutral bathrooms and inclusive housing.

“After living here for five years, I would say that it is time for Saint Rose to move towards gender inclusive housing. Maybe not for first years, maybe only in Centennial or Alumni but I think it is time for us to start integrating all genders,” said Matthew Eisner, Director of Social Interests. Along the same lines, gender neutral bathrooms were brought up in the discussion. There are gender neutral bathrooms around campus, including some in the basement of the EAC, the Hearst Center for Communications, and Alumni Hall.

“I don’t think we should be denied who we want to live with because of our gender. Especially people who are transgender or don’t identify with a gender,” said Alyssa Palmer, president of Identity.

Other topics regarding inclusivity included meeting the unique needs of commuter students on campus as well as availability and access for academic support services. Student Association Meetings are held every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Standish A/B.=
