Not Enough Interest Breaks Up Relay Due to lack of support, Relay for Life, an annual springtime event will not be taking place at The College of Saint Rose during the 20112012 school year By SCOTT LAWSON News Editor Every year, the Saint Rose community looks to participate in many different annual events that are held on campus. Such events include Reach Out Saint Rose Day, Rose Rock and the spring formal. However, this year will be the first year that Relay for Life is not being held on campus . Many years ago, the tradition
was started by students who were involved with Residence Life. At first, Relay for Life was a small event that was held by the RAs, or resident assistants, to help raise money for the American Cancer Society. As time progressed, Relay for Life grew tremendously and has become a challenge for both the professional and student staffs. A survey as to whether or Story continued on page A2

The Saint Rose Chronicle
Editor’s Greeting
Dear Reader, You've picked up a copy of The Chronicle, the Saint Rose weekly newspaper—from every cockle of my heart, thank you. What you are holding in your hands is the product of many, many hours of hard work by students like yourself. They find time amidst their classwork to put pen to paper, or eye to camera lens, or paint to canvas and create the publication before you. And have a good time doing it. The basic purpose of a newspaper is to communicate important factual information. This we try to do with gusto and gumption. However, as a student newspaper, we have an additional duty: To be the voice of the student body— to be your voice. Unfortunately there is no way for such a small portion of the student body as The Chronicle staff to accurately portray the diversity of student perception. As such, we need your input, whether it be through participation in a club column— such as The View from Venus—an opinion piece, or a movie review. Whether or not you’re able to attend a meeting, your input is what we want; indeed, it is what we need. If you are more interested in contributing to The Chronicle than an opinion piece would serve to suffice, then be aware that we are always looking for new writers, journalists, bloggers, photographers, artists and
graphic designers. Simply put, if you have a skill—or if you don't—we would love to have you! Stop in to a meeting sometime and find out first-hand what we’re all about. Our first meeting is this Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in CCIM 119, The Viewing Room. I'd now like to inform you of some changes which have taken place and will be taking place this year. The layout of this print paper has been altered slightly with changes to the front-page logo as well as the header. The Chronicle website is in the process of being over-hauled. It will soon have a modern, slick and spiffy look. We hope you find it pleasing and easy to use. You may also notice that our editorial staff listing has grown: With our recent growth we have created or re-instated several positions, including those of Copy Editor and Features Editor. We are currently seeking a Layout Editor and Advertising Manager, among other positions. In closing, I would like to say that in taking on the responsibility for the publication of this newspaper from the adept hands of my predecessor, Rich Aviles. I hope to continue in his footsteps by growing The Chronicle in size and quality. Good luck and good times this semester! Sincerely, Ian Benjamin Executive Editor

Irene Uproots Tree and Cuts Power in the Albany Area By TG BRANFALT JR. Contributing Writer Heavy rains and winds, the upstate effects of Hurricane Irene, downed branches, power lines and left many Pine Hills residents without power. Most notably on Woodlawn Ave a huge tree was uprooted, taking a slab of sidewalk with it. The tree fell at about 9 a.m Sunday, immediately knocking out power in the neighborhood. It bent a street light on its way down. “I heard the crash, then I saw sprays of sparks. I knew when everything went black we had lost power,” said Al Lanese Jr., a Saint Rose graduate, who lives next door to where the tree fell, “a half
hour later the transformer started shooting sparks and caught the branches on fire,” he said. The fire department responded to the 911 call made by Lanese’s wife. The rain had extinguished the fire by the time they had arrived, “We have a gas stove so we can cook, we have running water, but I don’t think that tree will be gone in two days, let alone [restored] power,” Levine said. Power outages were also reported on Ontario St and Morris St. Handwritten signs in the windows of the Fountain Restaurant and the Sake Café on New Scotland Ave. indicated they had closed due to power loss. Wind speeds ranging from 35
to 45 mph with gusts up to 55mph were reported in Albany. A flash flood warning had been issued for Albany County. National Grid has set up both text message and Twitter updates for customers, according to their website, nationalgridus.com. “I am one person that will be singing ‘Good Night Irene’ when this is over, I’ll be glad to see her go,” Lanese said. Mayor Jennings announced that Albany High School gym at 700 Washington Ave., Sheridan Prep at 400 Sheridan Ave., Albany School of Humanities at 108 Whitehall Rd and Saint Theresa’s Church at 453 New Scotland Ave, would be reception sites for those experiencing flooding or without power.

Construction Site Caper; Two Allegedly Steal GPS By TG BRANFALT JR. Contributing Writer
Kelly Pfeister Students embracing during the 2011 Relay for Life. Story continued on page A1 not Relay for Life should be held this year was distributed to the staff at the College. Due to this survey it was decided that the event should not be held. Relay for Life takes a lot of preparatory work for it to truly be a success. This planning is a very demanding task. “The thing is everyone wants to go to Relay, but no one wants to plan it because how stressful it is,” says Junior RA Ryan Butler of Brubacher Hall, who has worked in the committee that has planned the event. As the word has been passed along among the students via Facebook and talking amongst
each other, the reaction is strong within the student body, with most having a negative view of the decision that has been made. However it is possible to bring back Relay for Life. Student Association’s Director of Academic Activities Danielle Serrano says that it is possible to make a student club to keep Relay for Life as a part of the regular events on campus. But on the bright side, there are still going to be events to raise money for cancer. Saint Baldrick’s Day, a day where students selflessly shave their heads to raise awareness and funds for children’s cancer will be occurring this fall.
Do you have a passion for writing or photography? The Saint Rose Chronicle wants you! If interested come to one of our weekly meetings held in CCIM 119 (the Viewing Room) on Wednesdays at 4:30.
According to a police report, two men allegedly stole property from the Saint Rose Centennial Hall construction site early the morning of Thursday, August 11. The men are scheduled to appear in Albany city court on September 9 and 14. They face charges of trespassing, petit larceny and possession of stolen property. William Yager, of Albany and Samuel D’Amico, of Schenectady, both 20, were arrested at the scene at 4:15 a.m. Yager was in physical possession of a Garmin Nuvi GPS unit and charger. It is alleged that he entered a Mac CV 713 well rig, owned by Hanson Well Drilling, parked inside a padlocked eight-
foot fence and stole a GPS unit valued at $400. He was also in possession of a Sony car stereo faceplate, worth $85, allegedly taken from a parked car on Yates St. D’Amico was charged with a misdemeanor count of criminal trespassing and “released under supervision,” without bail, according to court documents. The court also ordered him to “Stay away from Saint Rose” as a condition of his release. Yager, who was impaired by alcohol according to the report, was also charged with criminal possession of stolen property and petit larceny. Both men are unemployed. Yager told the police the stolen items came “from one of the cars we broke into... down by Yates
St.” His bail was set at $2,000 and he was remanded to act. He was also ordered to “stay away” from Saint Rose. The court levied a 7 p.m. curfew and told him to abide by the “rules of household,” as additional conditions of his release. He was also issued a restraining order for the owner of the GPS. “This was the first issue at the site,” said Cpl. Isaac Paul, the Saint Rose security guard who responded to the early morning call. Car break-ins are “not at all a [recurring] problem,” said Paul, a four-year veteran of the force. “This kind of [crime] happens more when school is in session.” Calls to Hanson Well Drilling for comment were not returned.
ITS Works Hard To Improve Technology Across Campus By SUNSHINE OSELLA Features Editor As the students of The College of Saint Rose prepare for a long summer break, many of the faculty and staff are just beginning to plan for the difficult work. The Saint Rose Information Technology Services (ITS) has been hard at work over the summer intercession to improve and update the campus technology. ITS made a wide range of improvements including the updating of lab and classroom computers and equipment. Albertus Hall Smart Classrooms 211, 213, 216, 302 and 304 were upgraded with new equipment. New Smart Board Systems were installed in Albertus Hall classrooms 206 and 207. New computers were installed in many labs across campus including, Lally Audiology Lab, Geology Lab, Curriculum Library, and Midi Lab. New computers were also installed in the St. Vincent’s classroom teacher stations. Most Macintosh computers were upgraded with additional RAM and new operating
systems. John Ellis, Executive Director Information Technology Services, said that the Camtasia Relay lecture capture pilot project was begun. This was initiated by faculty request at the Academic Technology Committee. Eleven faculty members are currently participating in this pilot project. They will be able to record lectures and then post them on Blackboard. Also, as part of the Library renovation project, ITS will be installing at least ten additional computers in the Library. ITS is in the process of improving its new student technology support program housed in the Library. The other major changes ITS has worked on includes 63 faculty members receiving new computers. New Smart Carts were purchased for Picotte Hall, Brubacher Hall and the Massry Center. All of the document cameras in the Lally classroom teacher stations were replaced. The wireless network is in the process of a major upgrade that should be completed by the end of the semester. Over one hun-
dred wireless access points will be replaced. Ellis said there are many ways that students can be involved in the improvement of technology across campus. “We use results of this [The Annual Student Technology Survey] to help us determine what technologies would best help students achieve their academic goals,” said Ellis. “The challenge is to balance what the students need and want with the realities of limited budget resources.” It is important that all students complete the survey because their input is considered and appreciated. ITS also relies on student input at the Academic Technology Committee (formerly the Academic Computing Committee) to help decide what technologies will be implemented and supported. If anyone is interested, they can work with the Student Association to get appointed to the committee. Ellis said, “I am also always willing to attend Student Association and other student meetings to answer questions and listen to students.”

Saint Rose Student Caitlin Mason Spends Summer at Fuse
Caitlin Mason Senior Caitlin Mason outside of Fuse. By ALISON LESTER Managing Editor While some college students spent the summer working various jobs, traveling, and/or taking summer classes, others had the opportunity to be interns. One Saint Rose senior who had this opportunity was Caitlin Mason, a Public Communications major concentrating in Broadcast Production and Marketing. Mason spent most of her summer interning at Fuse and living in Brooklyn. Having enjoyed the music channel since the age of 14, Mason decided to apply to Fuse when she learned about the internship “because it is the only music television station out there now.” She believes Fuse is what MTV is supposed to be. “When I was 16 and decided I wanted to work in television, I knew internships were going to be extremely important for professional connections that can lead to a job,” said Mason. “My career is extremely important to me because I have many goals set
for myself and getting an internship in NYC was one of them.” Mason said she was uncharacteristically pessimistic after her interview with Fuse. After two weeks of waiting for news and sending email inquiries, Mason called and was told that the internship was hers if she wanted it. “I just remember sitting up in my bed and saying ‘you don't have to offer I'm taking it!’” said Mason. The move to Brooklyn marked the first time in Mason’s life that she was living alone, having previously lived in Albany with her family only 15 minutes away from the Saint Rose campus. Mason settled in a 12th floor apartment in Brooklyn Heights, a neighborhood that she felt was both clean and safe. Her first day in Brooklyn was an emotional one: “I suddenly became so scared of my decision and didn't know if I could last in the city without my family and friends by my side,” said Mason. “That night I decided to set goals for myself that entire week when it came to exploring the city and meeting people in my building. I was pretty successful
with meeting those goals.” Mason began her internship on a Thursday, the day after an orientation at The Madison Square Garden Company. Caitlin She Mason met Fuse’s Director of Multiplatform, Kristin Cook, whom she realized was the only other female in the department. “That didn't make me too nervous because I grew up with three older brothers and no sisters,” said Mason. “Plus I get along with guys much better than girls so I was actually looking forward to working with this department.” Mason’s first day consisted of a meeting where she was told she’d be expected to
August 30, 2011
Volume 80 Issue 2
speak at all future meetings because she was “part of the team now.” Mason said that hearing those words gave her confidence. Some of Mason’s many jobs as an intern at Fuse included research and networking for Fuse on Demand’s social media, interview transcriptions, artist research, and being on set to observe shows such as Top 100 and Hoppus on Music. Mason pitched the idea to personally research more effective ways to find new followers that fit the demographic for Fuse on Demand’s social networking, and to add to the minimal updates on Fuse’s Facebook and Twitter pages. “When I asked, my director looked so happy and my coworkers looked kind of surprised, probably because an intern had the initiative to speak up and ask for this responsibility,” said Mason. “The day after, a coworker of mine told me that it was really impressive that I did that and told me that when it came to getting a good recommendation and probably a job that I was ‘off to the races.’” During her time at Fuse, Mason had the chance to meet celebrities such as Kaley Cuoco of The Big Bang Theory and 8 Simple Rules, Los Lonely Boys, and Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus. “When I met Mark Hoppus it was in an elevator on the way to our floor, and it was the first time I ever saw him there,” said Mason. “I never thought I would get star struck but I grew up listening to his music so I was definitely freaking out on the inside and probably made myself look like a noob.” Fuse wasn’t the only place that Mason was spending her time
while living in Brooklyn. She visited areas such as Manhattan, Little Italy, China Town, Soho/ Greenwich Village, and 14th Street. Mason also had the chance to see 4 Broadway musicals: The Book of Mormon, where she met the actors, Hair, Catch Me If You Can, and Memphis. The second time she saw The Book of Mormon, Mason and a friend won front row tickets. Mason also saw the Off-Broadway play, Love, Loss and What I Wore. “Since I've lived 3 hours away all my life I have already done all the touristy things, so I wanted to see the real heart of the city,” said Mason. Mason moved back to Albany on August 21, reluctantly leaving behind Fuse and the new friends she made in New York City. “It was just so weird knowing you were going to say goodbye to the people you became so close with,” said Mason. “Even though I'm back into my old routines, I keep thinking I'm just visiting home and I'll be back soon.” After graduating this December, Mason’s long-term goal is to become a television producer. She has been offered a job at Fuse and plans to move back to New York City in January. “A few people discouraged me from getting an internship in NYC,” said Mason. “They kept saying I would be the coffee girl and I wouldn't learn anything. Thankfully, I was set on the goals I wanted to accomplish so I didn't listen to them. I wanted to shoot for the moon and I did. If I let people get in the way, I wouldn't have met the people who have helped me and I wouldn't have had such an amazing experience with a job offer at the end of it.”

Nancy Thorsen: More Than Just “Paper or Plastic?” By CHRIS SURPRENANT Arts Editor For 37 years, one cashier at the front register has served more customers at the local Price Chopper supermarket than perhaps any other ringer – ever. Nancy Thorsen, a cashier at the Madison Avenue store is well known by many customers, and always has a kind word to say. Her thoughtful personality goes well beyond register #9 - her attitude carries over in different facets of her life. After working at the store for almost four decades, people of the community have come to know Thorsen because she takes the time to know them. She has made the acquaintance of both college students and residents that have lived here for years. With many of them, she is on a first-name basis. “Technically, they’re acquaintances, but I feel they’re friends,” Thorsen said. “Price Chopper is like a neighborhood store, I like that fact.” Thorsen is somewhat of a neighborhood gem. Her relationship with the customers is comparable to a day when everyone knew each other, and everyone cared. Thorsen is just herself, and nothing more, which is how she wants it. It is this honesty that really strikes a connection with customers. “What you see is what you get,” she said. After working at the store for so long, she likes to make every day count. She tries to have a positive outlook on life, and at the end of the day, she lives by her favorite saying: “it is what it is.” Thorsen’s magnanimous personality resonates with many. Customer Harold Becker said,
“She’s the best in the store.” Where does such a personal connection come from? Born in the small town of Copake Falls, about an hour southeast of Albany, Thorsen left home at 18 to attend Albany Business College. Copake is still a big part of her. “I’m very simple. I’m a small town girl, and it carries through with everything that I do,” she said. Family plays a huge role in her life. After college, she worked at Albany Medical Center for a number of years, then she met her husband John. They have been married for 43 years. When her children were born, Thorsen started at Price Chopper, working weekends and weeknights from 7 p.m. to midnight – that way, she could take care of the children during the day. Though her schedule was often busy, Thorsen always loved the outdoors. Combined with an interest in traveling, she and her family often took annual vacations. For 40 years, the Thorsen family ventured with close friends, “a second family,” up to Maine for an annual camping trip, a place that became like another home to them. These outdoor trips, Thorsen said, were great experiences, especially for her kids and she has a lot of fond memories of those outings. “Before gas went up, I used to like day trips too,” she joked. Now that her children are grown and have kids of their own, Thorsen focuses more on her varied interests, which still includes her family. She absolutely adores her four grandkids. The most recent addition to her family is her 10- month-old granddaughter who is just, “the cutest little thing, just a joy.”
Along with her love of family, Thorsen recently found a passion for cooking. Lately, she has a particular penchant for Italian food. From her love of cooking, she has also found that she enjoys reading cooking magazines for different recipes, or just for entertainment. Ever-curious, she often observes and comments on what customers are buying, just to get a new idea or two, and maybe even swap a recipe once in a while. Thorsen claims cooking is just a hobby, and she remains modest in her accomplishments in the kitchen. However, her success as a baker has not gone unnoticed. While her kids were growing up, she would often bring baked goods wherever she went. “Mrs. Thorsen’s brownies” were always in high-demand among her children’s friends. Beyond baking, Thorsen enjoys being active. When she lived in the neighborhood, she loved to walk the campus of The College of Saint Rose and take in the beauty of the campus. Her active lifestyle goes beyond the occasional walk or two. A surprise hobby of Thorsen’s is that she loves to dance. She said that although she may not be totally in-tune with today’s musical trends, for dancing she has always felt, “the faster, the better.” Thorsen, like many, has had her ups and downs in life. From
Nancy Thorsen, Price Chopper cashier, at her register post. her experiences, she has come to value the little things. A very dear friend advised her to “appreciate what you have.” Thorsen is grateful for what life has given her, even if it has not turned out exactly as planned. Thorsen realizes that this is the case for a lot of people. So, when someone comes through her line at Price Chopper that may not being having the greatest of days, she always tries to make it just a little bit brighter. And, there are days when customers may return the gesture. Working the register for so long, Thorsen has met some fairly interesting people. About 15 years ago, she remembers meeting a member of the Minnesota Vikings Super Bowl team. Though she can remember what he was wearing, including his ring, she cannot remember his name. Over the years, Thorsen has seen a lot of change in the neigh-
borhood, mostly for the good. She knows that although there have been some problems, the area is still a nice place to be. Since her time in the Pine Hills, she has found that she enjoys all the little shops along Madison Avenue, visiting Washington Park, and even events such the annual Tulip Festival. Nancy Thorsen has a genuine interest in what is going on in the lives of those around her. It does not matter if it is a stranger she meets for the first time, or a member of her own family, she is willing to lend an ear, or offer a story herself. Longtime customer Sam Langell offered a testament to her influence: “Ninety-nine percent of the reason why my wife and I come here is because of Nancy. She knows everybody. She’s my favorite.”

The Saint Rose Chronicle
Through the Premiere Performances concert series, Saint Rose has been able to bring a host of acclaimed performers to the campus throughout the years. Past performers have included jazz master Dave Brubeck, the Boys and Girls Choir of Harlem Alumni Ensemble, Ramsey Lewis, and Tim Reynolds of Dave Matthews Band notoriety. The series is always filled with a variety of performances by virtuosos in their respective genres. This year is no different with a kick-off performance by Maceo Parker to be followed by performances from Soulive and The Ravi Coltrane Quartet, among numerous others. According to Salvatore Prizio, Massry Center programming director, the initial outreach and planning for the 2011-2012 season began in January prior. “After that it is mostly scheduling, availability, cost negotiation, and working with the faculty to ensure the season works with their academic needs as well. It goes right up until July when we begin to work on press releases with PR, making programs, flyers etc.” Make Prizio’s and the staff of The Massry Center’s hard work worthwhile by checking out some of this year’s performances. The Chronicle spoke with Salvatore Prizio about the upcoming performances: What excites you most about this year’s line-up? “The diversity. We have some great genres of music coming here from Funk with Maceo Parker, to Jazz with Chick Corea, and Classical with the Cameratas and Yuja Wang, to Pop with Paula

Cole.” Are there any acts that you think students would be particularly interested in? “Soulive in October is going to be a great concert. I definitely programmed it with more of the student body in mind, however they are doing their Beatles show, and I requested this intentionally because I wanted the concert to have a wider appeal to a more diverse crowd of people who might be interested in it from that aspect. The Paula Cole concert will have the first three rows set aside for Saint Rose students. We are running that concert like a version of Inside the Actors Studio but for music, or like a Storytellers Concert. Paula Cole will play some music, talk about her career, and take questions from the students. It gives them an opportunity to talk and interact with a Grammy award winning artist who has traveled the world. Our intention is for the students and audience to get some real insight into the world of professional recording and touring.” Are there discounts for students? Yes there are. We have a new discount policy for students this year. We are offering a 50% discount to all concerts to the first 25 students who order tickets for each concert. Limited 1 ticket per student. The really great thing is that with our new Vendini ticketing system, students can order any ticket they want for any show throughout the season as of now. So if they want to buy tickets at a discount for a concert in April, they can. All students can visit our web site at www.strose.edu/ concerts. They can pick out their concert and any seat that is avail-
able and enter the discount code Student. Or students can call me at 337-4871 to order over the phone. There will be some additional student discounts for some select concerts like the Paula Cole concert in which the first 3 rows are for students so more discount tickets are available as an educational component to the concert.” What else, apart from the Premiere Performances, will students be able to take advantage of this year in Massry? “There’s always so many activities going on at the Massry Center. The Esther Massry Gallery has fantastic exhibits going on. Dr. Hansbrough and The College of Saint Rose faculty have performances from the student ensembles which are usually free and always worth a trip to the Massry Center. It’s a great venue to see the stars of today and the stars of tomorrow.”

Student Opinion
When asked her thoughts on the Massry performances she has seen Heather Thibdeau ‘12 said: “I will definitely want to make sure I attend one (the Christmas jazz concert in the style of Peanuts sounds particularly fascinating). Speaking from a general standpoint of all of the Massry performances I have been to, I thought that overall it was a very professional environment, but by no means was it a yuppie affair. Everyone was respectful towards the performers, but it was clearly an upbeat, festive environment that I assume must be even more so with famous and well-known performers. Even people who are not fans of instrumental music always have a good time, because the performers are just that good. The acoustics are also amazing.

I did take a music history class freshmen year, and recall my professor saying that they built the Picotte Recital Hall specifically for superb acoustics.” “Be warned that this kind of music is not what you expect in a fancy looking recital hall. It might not be what you hear on the typical radio station, but these songs and pieces have stood the test of time for a reason, because they are likeable by everyone. I challenge you to go in, view the entire concert, and not walk out with a part stuck in your head or your fingers flying to iTunes or Amazon to download a different version of a song you just heard. Also, all of the “great” artists of today get their inspiration from somewhere, so you never know! You might just be inspired yourself!” The Saint Rose Camerata is the faculty ensemble in residence at Saint Rose. As is common at Saint Rose, the faculty of the music department not only teach, but practice what they teach. For the upcoming performance, The Camerata will be playing a piece, Impressions de la Puna by Ginastera Trio by Piazzolla (La Muertetel Angel, Otono Porteno ‘Autumn’ from Four Seasons) in celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month. The Camerata will also be performing on Saturday, October 29, 2011; Saturday, February 11, 2011; and Friday, March 23, 2012. All performances will be at 7:30 p.m.

B8 Best Surprises of Summer 2011

The Saint Rose Chronicle
By CHRIS SURPRENANT Arts Editor In years past, the summer TV season has often amounted to endless nights of boorish, wholly unentertaining television. In the movie industry, the blockbusters have tended more towards bust. These have been the forces that normally drive the American public outside during the hot, humid weather. However, Summer 2011 has had great successes in both areas, which has greatly encouraged the inner couch potatoes in all of us. If given the chance, be ready for next summer by catching these hits in reruns!
Television The Killing (AMC) Sure, diehard Mad Men fans didn’t get a visit from Don Draper and company, but AMC delivered another great summer series set in gloomy, modern-day Se-
attle. With its doom and gloom, rainy atmosphere, Seattle is now home to one of the best murder mysteries this summer—who killed Rosie Larsen? That’s just what icy detective Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos of Big Love) intends to find out, along with her wise-cracking, often sketchy, street-smart partner Detective Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman). The Killing is unique in that one storyline spans the entire thirteen episodes of the season, representing one day in the investigation of drowned teenager Rosie Larsen. It also focuses on three main aspects of the case per episode: the police department, shady politician Darren Richmond, and the deeply grieving Larsen family. Enos particularly shines. She portrays a divorced mother of a rebellious teenager who is trying to get away from the police beat, while simultaneously preparing for an upcoming marriage. The

character of Sarah Linden often comes off as bi-polar and testy, but Enos is able to add just the right amount of frustration and heart to give several dimensions to her character. You might have heard that The Killing ended the season with a bit of a frustrating cliffhanger. Don’t worry, this is one summer series that’s worth sticking with because it’s good oldfashioned story telling with great characters and a great storyline. Give it a chance and stay tuned for next season. Franklin and Bash (TNT) When first seeing the previews for Franklin and Bash, it was easy to hate the new buddy dramedy. Starring Breckin Meyer as attorney Jared Franklin and Mark-Paul Gosselaar (of Saved by the Bell fame) as attorney Peter Bash, it wasn’t hard to loath two smart-alecky, post-frat-boys who seemed to treat the legal system like a three ring circus. However, when given the chance, the duo of Franklin and Bash became a personal favorite. Recruited to the prestigious Infeld Daniels law firm, Franklin and Bash throw conventionality to the wind. They constantly hit on coworkers, throw parties in

their shared office/frat pad, and have an occasional lightsaber battle in court. They are constantly in the company of equally strange people, including senior partner Stanton Infeld, a man of the world with many a story to tell, agoraphobic/super-techie Pindar, and ex-con Carmen. Meyer and Gosselaar have great rapport as bickering college buds: They say the things that many would only say to their closest friends—often over the line, and lacking appropriate remorse. They will fight like no tomorrow, but defend each other until the bitter end. Now that’s a friendship. Make sure to catch up on the summer’s best new buddy comedy. Teen Wolf (MTV) Though previously reviewed, it is worth noting that Teen Wolf has been able to build an incredible storyline oozing with suspense
over the past few weeks. Teenage werewolf Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) has faced many obstacles no ordinary 16-year-old ever has to face, including supernatural beasts, werewolf hunters, and several brutal murders. Alongside him is his best friend Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) and girlfriend Allison (Crystal Reed). Each character has shown immense growth from the beginning of the season. The acting is very good for an MTV series, and the kids are truly talented. Sure, Scott is facing a lot that many can’t ever imagine, but that’s part of the brilliance of the series. Everything that Scott and friends face is a metaphor for growing up. At one point Stiles tells Scott, “You can’t protect everybody.” Brooding, Scott replies, “I have to.” Teenagers are always trying to please everyone, and most of the time it’s just plain hard. Thanks for the depth, MTV.

Super 8
Directed by J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Fringe), along with Steven Spielberg, this sci-fi thriller is one that everyone can enjoy. Set in the late 1970’s, Super 8 centers around a group of adolescents in the process of making a monster movie. One night, while filming by the train tracks, the group witnesses a colossal train wreck. After, strange events begin to plague the town, later found to be the result of an alien presence. The film focuses on the theme of growing up and letting go, all while in the midst of a crisis. Joel Courtney, in the lead role of Joe Lamb, allows the character to grow from a child grieving over
the loss of his mother, to an adolescent confident in his future. Leading lady Elle Fanning as Alice Dainard, too, gives a great performance as Joe’s love interest. Her affection towards Joe is incredibly natural. Providing the comic relief is pudgy Riley Griffiths, stealing every scene as bossy director Charles. Super 8 manages to capture the innocence and imagination of childhood in the midst of the most exciting adventure any kid could ever ask for. Abrams is a talented director who is able to tell a taut alien adventure right alongside the classic story of finding one’s place in the world. Make sure to catch it on Netflix.

For some male viewers, the title may be an automatic turnoff: a comedy that is crazy, stupid, and about love sounds like standard chick-flick fare. But don't worry! Even if you do see it for your girlfriend's sake, you won't regret it. The film stars Steve Carrell, a comedic genius, so it’s automatically funny. Many male viewers will connect with his average, recently divorced character Cal Weaver. While drowning his sorrows at a local bar, Cal meets womanizing barfly Jacob (Ryan Gos-
ling), who shows Cal a thing or two about the opposite sex. Meanwhile, Jacob meets Hannah (Emma Stone), the one woman immune to his charms. Cal’s ex, Emily (Julianne Moore) also tries to lead her own life with David Lindhagen, played by none other than Kevin Bacon. There are many twisted relationships in this world, but the ones portrayed by this group have got them all beat. Perhaps the sickest one belongs to Cal’s babysitter, Jessica, who is in love with Cal. She goes a bit too Twenty-
first Century to show she cares, which leads to, you guessed it, more hilarity! The chemistry among all the cast members is incredible. They all play off each other very naturally, and give great performances as people looking for answers. The big payoff is a huge family affair, literally involving every main character, and is by far one of the cleverest plot twists to date. Do yourself a favor and see Crazy, Stupid, Love. It’ll make you feel so incredibly normal, and will have your sides splitting from laughter.

Moving Into a Hurricane By REGINA IANNIZZOTTO Opinion Editor Moving in early may bring a sense of sadness if you had an incredible summer like I did, but it also brings a sense of relaxation. Signing up to be an Arrival Assistant was one of the best decisions I could have made. Last year, we all moved our things in and were pushed into academic mode by starting classes the next day. Being an arrival assistant not only saved me from the effects of the hurricane in my hometown, but gave me a few days to get comfortable in my surroundings. We all move in at different times, but this year was especially hectic. With Hurricane Irene coming in, upperclassmen were able to move in early. Smart thinking. Not only does it help the students avoid the hurricane, it helps students acclimate to their surroundings and allows for time to transition from “laid back summer” to “stressful semester.” In my opinion, this should happen
every year. Speaking of the hurricane, who else got scared when the wind picked up and things started tapping on the window? Was it just me? Gradually finding out about your hometown, your family’s hometowns and the damage that was caused is never fun. A tree fell on the power line down the street from my house and knocked out the power, so my parents went out to eat. Who does that? My family. Around my hometown of Staten Island, there were the usual problems (e.g. floods, cars floating, trees falling, etc). A sight to see, however, was the group of people on a raft rowing down the street to get somewhere. I am just happy that my family was safe and not much happened in my area. My parents did not take as much precaution as others. They did not tape their windows or stock up on canned food. However, my dad being himself took a bungee cord and wrapped it around the barbeque attaching
Opinion it to the deck. If something happened to the new barbeque, I think he would cry a little. Sitting around all day watching people try to move in during the rain gave me minimal entertainment until I finally got out of my house to eat at the dining hall. We all say things such as, “I wish I could just lie in bed all day and watch TV,” but in reality, it is not that much fun. I got up twice to walk down my hallway, look out the window (so I do not look like the creepy girl just walking around), and walk back to my bed. Due to me being in bed all day, I now have a crink in my neck and got a burst of energy really late at night. I am extremely grateful that Albany did not get hit with Hurricane Irene as bad as some places did, but it was still scary and difficult to get through. Even though we prepared like crazy and most were stuck in boredom (like me), I am just happy it is over and we can now go on with our regularly scheduled lives. So let’s kick it into gear and start this year off with a bang! (And no, I do not mean thunder).

At our weekly meetings, everyone is encouraged to offer their extremely valued viewpoints on matters that are meaningful to them. Additionally, we organize and run events open to the entire Saint Rose community. Last year, the Women's Initiative organized a series of faculty and student forums on
such varied topics as women in the workplace and the public and inner lives of culturally diverse women. Fun, recreational events are another focus of ours, including an anti-street harassment and self defense event, and a Love Your Body Night complete with yoga, facials, henna and delicious snacks both healthy and indulgent. Other notable events included a campus production of The Vagina Monologues and a reception honoring all the hard work of the female faculty and staff at the college. Now that you have found out a little bit about us, we would absolutely love to get to know you! We would like to invite any and all interested to our first meeting of the year. Information on time and place can be found on the bulletin board outside of the Camelot Room in the EAC, as well as online on our Facebook page (joinable by entering "Saint Rose Women's Initiative" in the main search bar). We are so excited to see new faces and hear unique and passionate voices! Keep checking in the opinion section for our column, which will be written by a different member of our group each week to offer diverse and interesting reading on a variety of women's issues across the political, social and media sectors. We hope everyone enjoys the first week back and we look forward to meeting with members old and new very soon. Until next time, thanks for taking in the view with us!

Saint Rose Adds New Lacrosse Program and Head Coach Tim Robbins will be at the helm of Saint Rose lacrosse in their inaugural season By JACKSON WANG Sports Editor As the new Golden Knights prepare for their very first lacrosse season at Saint Rose, the search for a new head coach has been completed. According to athletic director Cathy Haker, Tim Robbins has accepted the head coach position for men’s lacrosse. “After a very successful recruiting cycle, our new head coach will have a solid recruiting class to work with in setting the foundation for the new men’s lacrosse program at Saint Rose,” said Haker. “This is a unique and exciting opportunity for both the coaching staff and this special incoming class.” Robbins was an assistant coach at Springfield College, prior to accepting the head coach position at Saint Rose. Robbins had also spent a year coaching at Siena College in 2009, when the program won the MAAC Championship and received a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Prior to coaching at Siena College, Robbins was a member on the coaching staff at Bucknell and Wheaton Colleges. Mark Cometti was serving as intern head coach of men’s lacrosse for the Golden Knights during the search for a new head coach. Cometti was doing head coaching duties and was very active in the recruiting process.

class,” said Haker. “Coach Cometti will be an invaluable resource and asset to the new head coach as they work together to build the lacrosse program.” Cometti has helped recruit some 30 student-athletes for the Golden Knight’s first lacrosse season. Many of these studentathletes were recruited from renowned lacrosse areas such as Syracuse, Long Island and Maryland. The first recruiting class for men’s lacrosse also includes three NCAA Division I transfers, Nick Longo from Towson University, Joe Pompo from University at Albany and Brett McAuliffe from the U.S. Military Academy.

Lacrosse is currently the fastest growing sport in the United States. Many high schools and colleges are adding lacrosse to their athletic programs. In the last 30 years, the number of studentathletes who are a part of lacrosse at the NCAA Division II level has nearly tripled. “Adding lacrosse will enhance the college’s enrollment numbers by attracting men who want to compete in lacrosse during their college career,” said Haker. “The addition of these men also helps with the gender balance at the College and will enhance diversity by attracting students from many different geographical areas.” Lacrosse serves as the 18th varsity program sponsored by the college, which draws and serves over 330 student-athletes at Saint Rose.
“Growth and change have been characteristics of our athletics program at Saint Rose and I expect that this trend will continue,” said Haker. “Certainly, with the recent completion of the Plumeri Sports Complex, women’s lacrosse would be [a] contender worth considering,” when asked if women’s lacrosse could become a part of Saint Rose athletics. Coach Robbins and assistant coach Cometti met with players of the first recruited class for men’s lacrosse this past weekend. The Golden Knights will play a limited schedule this upcoming season, before playing a full schedule in the 2012-13 season in the NE-10 conference. The Golden Knights will open the 2011-12 season on February 29 against Dominican College.

The Possible Return of the Death Penalty By JACKSON WANG Sports Editor
The Miami Hurricanes’ football program could be facing the death penalty after a Yahoo! Sports’ 11-month investigation found players receiving impermissible benefits from former University of Miami booster, Nevin Shapiro. Shapiro, who is currently serving 20 years in a federal prison for coordinating a $930 million Ponzi scheme, told Yahoo! Sports at least 72 athletes have received thousands of impermissible benefits from him between 2002 and 2010. At least seven coaches from both the football and basketball program were implicated in the scandal during Shapiro’s eightyear tenure as booster at the University of Miami. Shapiro supposedly provided cash, goods, prostitutes, and various favors, including parties on
his yacht. Shapiro has released several pictures of himself with many current and former players at the University of Miami. Many players have come forward stating they have received impermissible benefits from Shapiro and some had even gone on record with Yahoo! Sports during their 11-month investigation. If all of this proves to be true, then the University of Miami could face the ultimate punishment in college sport‒the death penalty. When a college sports program is handed the death penalty, they are banned from competing in that particular sport for at least one year. The death penalty is typically handed down when a college program repeats a violated rule. This punishment can be handed to any college sports program at any level. The death penalty has been used only five times in college
Little People of the Big World By SCOTT LAWSON News Editor For the past couple weeks, you could not change to ESPN without watching or hearing about one of the biggest events for young athletes for the past couple of weeks. No I’m not talking about what is going on with the NCAA and the start of college football which is starts this week, I am talking about the Little League World Series. Many of us have grown up playing some form of recreation-
exclusivebaseballupdate
al sport, and it is fairly difficult to find someone who hasn’t played little league, both softball and baseball. For those of you who do not know, the Little League World Series is the national and international tournament for kids around the age of 12. It is an experience of a life time for these individuals because typically teams will not compete for sectional and state tournaments until they reach their high school athletic programs. The tournament is held in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the big story of this year was the team that was representing the MidAtlantic. The team from Pennsylvania set records by drawing the highest attendance rates for a Little League World Series game of all time with 41,848 fans at a stadium that seats a maximum of 9,000. This was more than most major league teams drew. Yeah, they drew more fans than the New York Yankees. Although they were knocked
sports. One of the most talked about scandals that led to the death penalty was the Southern Methodist University football program during the mid-1980s. ESPN’s 30 For 30 made a film about the whole SMU football scandal called Pony Excess. SMU boosters were paying the top high school athletes to come play at their school. These boosters were making payments to several student-athletes over a period of time. In 1985, SMU was placed on a five-year probation for recruiting violations. What put SMU under the ultimate penalty was continuously violating rules after 1985. As a result, the 1987 season was canceled and SMU was on probation until 1990. The probation included a ban from bowl games and live television games, as well as the loss of 55 scholarship positions over four years. The death penalty affected the
SMU football program for over 20-years. Since 1989, SMU had only two winning seasons and only defeated two ranked teams. SMU would only return to a bowl game in 2009 when they faced Nevada. In that game, SMU defeated Nevada in a 45-10 rout. If the investigation finds that many of the coaches, and possibly administrators, were aware
of Shapiro’s actions, then Miami will have been found to have repeatedly violated NCAA rules. This would most likely lead to the Miami football program receiving the death penalty. If the Miami Hurricanes do receive the death penalty, they could be facing several years of losing just like SMU did after their punishment.
out of the tournament in the National Semi Finals, they still exemplified one of my favorite aspects of sports, they had fun. As they tipped their caps and took their victory lap, all of them had
smiles on their faces despite the fact that they lost. Having fun is something I feel most people lose as they progress through their athletic careers. I do understand the competitive aspect of the
sport, been there and done that, but it is refreshing to see sports in the eyes of a kid who you can easily see that have the aspirations of going as far as they can in their careers.
