SANTORO KNOWSBEST

STILL

ARE YOU READY FOR HALLOWEEN HAVOC?

Santoro Knows Best

By Matt Santoro

Hello SUNY Delhi, I would like to welcome you back to a Campus Voice Throwback called Santoro Knows Best. This was a monthly article discussing the ins and outs of relationships and hook-ups in our everyday

life. I figured since writing this article was such a pleasure to me that I would supply some more of my thoughts to the SUNY Delhi students again even after my departure from the school. Just look at it as an Alumni point of view. If you have never read a Santoro Knows Best than welcome; if this isn’t your first time, then let’s just get right to it. I like to call this one “Balance”, the everyday meal.

When two people decide that they want to make there relationship an official one, things in there life sometimes start to change very drastically. From a friend’s point of view you become a different person altogether. You stop attending to things you used to; you don’t make time for anything else except you and the person you are with. -continued pg. 5-

By Marty GreenfieldDirector of Student Activities

The Student Programming Board has been doing an exceptional job of keeping our campus active and exciting so far this year. Sunday night comedy shows have hilari-ous and standing room only audi-ences, Knucklehead Zoo tore the place up, weekend movies have been packed, and lectures by Matt Glowacki on Disability Awareness and Chris Moon, the Ghost Hunter have drawn spellbound crowds.

Now that the SPB has gotten every-one warmed up, it is time for Hal-loween Havoc. Anyone who has been around here for a while knows that this is usually the biggest week of programming all semester. In 2008, the SPB will once again strive to do the impossible, and top last year’s highly successful series of events.

The kick off to this year’s series begins on Tuesday, October 28 at 8 PM in the Farrell Hall Theater as the legendary Stevie Starr, the Regurgitator, returns to campus. If you have never seen Stevie’s show, just ask someone who has, and if you don’t believe them, come down and check it out for yourself. You will be amazed at the unique talents of this very unusual individual. Stevie’s regurgitation act has taken him all over the world including

appearances on David Letterman, the Tonight Show, HBO, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, and the Discov-ery Channel.

On Thursday night, at 11 PM the traveling band of circus freaks and performers known as “The Eclectic Circus” will return to Delhi with their special Halloween perfor-mance. You never know quite what to expect from this unique troupe of performers. Everyone who saw them last year demanded that we bring them back. So here they are, once again with a very special, and highly unusual, late night Hallow-een performance.

On Halloween night, the late night action will shift over to MacDonald Hall’s Midnight Café for Jim Kar-ol’s First Annual Halloween Bash, starring Jim Karol. Jim is taking a break from the filming of “Jackass 3” and promises to host an exciting night of tricks, stunts, music, and lots of give-a-ways. Jim will be giving out over $1,000.00 in prizes and will debut his new and amazing “Silver Spike of Destruction” trick at midnight. Jim promised to shock and amaze everyone with his new, award winning, trick or wind up with a 6” metal spike through his hand if the trick doesn’t work!!!

Saturday night, November 1 will mark the debut of The Machine, America’s foremost Pink Floyd

tribute band on campus. The Ma-chine will be presenting their spe-cial performance entitled “The Darker Side of Oz” beginning at 8 PM in the Farrell Hall Commons. You can expect lots of lights, lasers, and special effects along with a syn-chronized performance of “Darker Side of the Moon” and the Wizard of Oz. Student tickets for this con-cert are only $10.00 each and are on sale at the Campus Store. Non stu-dent tickets are $20.00 in advance, and can be purchased at the cam-pus Store or through Ticketmaster or Ticketmaster Charge by phone at 607-722-7272.

The weekend will wrap up on Sun-day November 2 at 8 PM with the return of comedian Robert Kelly. To say that Robert has “hit the big time” since his last Delhi appear-ance over a year ago would be a major understatement. Robert’s starring role in the movie “Tour-gasm”, an HBO special, a Comedy Central featured performance, reg-ular appearances on Opie and An-thony, and sold out comedy clubs from New York to LA, to Las Vegas have taken him to the top of the comedy world.

C R A Z Y G E O R G E ’ S R A N TBefore Voting, Get the Facts

By George UdovichThis year is a presidential election year. In three more months George W. Bush’s presidency will come to an end. However this campaign has become nasty. Now, even before the campaign turned nasty, there was a lot of misinforma-tion about Barack Obama and Sarah Palin. I myself have heard a lot more misinformation about Sarah Palin than I’ve heard about Barack Obama; and the misinformation about Barack Obama that I have heard has been trivial and menial. I’m not saying that there is misinforma-tion about Barack Obama that’s not on a higher level than menial, I just haven’t heard it. Now to get some of the facts you can always visit the website of the candidates, and you should visit the websites of both candidates.

Be careful though because there are some web-sites out there that will give you the records of the candidate and facts about the candidates’ plans, such as votesmart.org and rightchange.com, but there are other websites out there that will give you voting records with a slant, both liberal and conservative.

Now, I’m not a big fan of John McCain or Barack Obama, and if you’ve listened to me on the radio you know that I supported Ron Paul in the Republican primary. Even though I do not like either presidential candidate I do like Sarah Palin. I think she is very competent to run the nation; just enough experience to make sound decisions, but inexperienced enough not to get caught up in the political games and not to go

along with back room dealings. I have heard of how Sarah Palin is inexperienced and shouldn’t be able to become President. Well, how does Barack Obama’s experience trump her experi-ence? He has never held an executive position at any government level. Now I’m not saying that Barack Obama cannot, or is incapable of making sound decisions, but I do not think he has had the experience to demonstrate that he can. I also disagree with Barack Obama’s posi-tion; I do not want to share my money with any-one I don’t want to; and I know how to spend my money better than someone in Washington. I also believe that about everybody can spend his or her money better than anyone in Wash-ington can.

SAMPLES COLLECTED AT CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN WATER SITE

SUNY Delhi students recently as-sisted with the collection of willow plant samples that will be tested to show the best fertilization tech-niques for how fallow farmland in Delaware County can be used to grow a cash crop for use as a renew-able energy source.

SUNY Delhi students worked with Amos Quaye, a doctoral student from SUNY ESF, to gather leaf and stem samples from willow shrub plantings and to install soil probes at SUNY Delhi’s valley campus. A variety of fertilization techniques are under investigation, including the use of biosolid compost from the Delaware County solid waste facility.

This research is part of a nationwide

effort to facilitate the commercial-ization of willow crops and other woody biomass for bioenergy and bioproducts.

The willow biomass research at SUNY Delhi is conducted as part of the Center of Excellence (COE) in WATER, a suite of projects which also includes the Catskill Regional Water Testing Lab. The COE in WATER represents an innovative partnership between SUNY Delhi and the SUNY College of Envi-ronmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse. The COE in WATER is committed to stimulating economic development in rural upstate New York, while protecting the New York City watershed and address-ing SUNY’s objectives for renew-able energy.

40 Ways You Can Respond To Domestic ViolenceSubmitted By Leslie Madeo, Nurse & Cathy Harris, Counselor in Recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month

The following is a list of ways that you or a group you belong to can help prevent future domestic violence. There are sev-eral agencies that are eager to work with interested individuals or groups.

If you know someone who is being bat-tered:Believe them, and keep what they tell you confidential. Let them know that they are not to blame for the abuse; they are not responsible for it and they do not deserve it.Take time to talk with her privately and ask about suspicious bruises or fights that you know about. They need to tell their story in their own time and at their own pace.Help them make safety plans for them-selves and children. It could save their lives.Validate feelings; they may feel hurt, an-gry, ashamed, or trapped. They may love the abuser.If you suspect that abuse is occurring, call 911. Assault is a crime.Make strong statements against violence in your social circles and in support of vic-tims building violence-free, autonomous lives.Give them information about local re-sources: The SAV hotline number is 607-746-6278.Offer to assist them in keeping safe by letting them stay with you, if possible, or keeping documents, money, and a packed suitcase for them, or identifying a code word that they can use to signal the need to call the police on her behalf.If appropriate, talk to the children about what they are seeing and feeling. Help them make plans to be safe.

If you know someone who is battering:If you are violent, stop the violence imme-diately, and seek assistance. Interrupt verbal harassment, and if it is safe to do so, acts of violence that you see happening.Call the Police if it is unsafe for you to intervene. It may save someone’s life.Let batterers know that domestic violence is a crime and that they could be prose-cuted and sent to jail. If a perpetrator is justifying violence or harassment because of something the victim did, point out that the perpetrator is the only one who is re-sponsible for violent acts. Don’t let per-petrators get away with victim-blaming, minimizing or trivializing their violence.If you don’t like it when someone makes jokes about women or about battering let the person telling the joke know it and why.Talk to perpetrators you know about the

violence they are doing but do not disclose information given to you by a victim, un-less you have their permission. Let perpetrators know that violence is not acceptable and that they can choose to stop it. Support strong law enforcement intervention in cases of domestic violence. Don’t defend the batterer to police, pros-ecutors or judges. Act as a witness to a crime.If you are an employer, assist police, the sheriff or other law enforcement officers to serve orders of protection, subpoenas, or other documents.Do not ostracize the victim or side with the perpetrator. Make strong statements against violence in your social circles. Advocate for full accountability by the perpetrators and for full restitution for victims.

For Starters – Help support shelters and programs for survivors and their children:Regular consistent financial donationsFood donationsDonations of equipment, gifts, clothing, furniture, blankets, computers, gas and phone cards.Donations of meeting rooms, technical or professional services, etc.Volunteer to work during renovation, clean up, mailings.Write letters to city, county, state and na-tional elected officials encouraging them to support funding for intervention in do-mestic violence and survivor services.Write letters to the editor supporting ser-vices for survivors.

Projects for individuals, groups or teams:Adopt an agency for a year: Provide do-nations of all kinds; put on a fund-raising event; bring a group of friends/work as-sociates together to form a work party for an agency. Assist in providing meals or a celebration for those residing in a shelter or transition-al housing, including children’s birthday parties, holiday dinners, summer picnics.Prepare starter kits for survivors – ask a shelter for exact content of kit.Household kits (pots, pans, utensils, kitch-en towels, broom, clock, etc.)Personal hygiene kits (soap, shampoo, bath towel, wash cloth, comb, toothbrush and paste_Bedding kits (sheets, pillows, blankets, and bedspread)Children’s kit (crayons or art supplies, pajama, stuffed animal, toothbrush and paste)

Provide blankets or make quilts for shelter residents.Share your skills through mentoring tutor-ing, presenting workshops on parenting, computer use, employment and literacy/GET readiness or job skills.

Community Projects:Advocacy, including writing letters, mak-ing phone calls to elected officials or funders for additional funding for shelter programs, finances for affordable housing, jobs, financial assistance, access to medi-cal care.Invite shelter representatives to speak to organizations you belong to.

Advocate for school-based prevention programs and for assis-tance to children who live in homes where domestic violence occurs.Make sure schools and other officials take dating violence seriously.Advocate for appropriate services for un-deserved population, such as those who speak Spanish or other non-English lan-guages, are gang-affiliated or affected, or are disabled.Work against sexism, racism and ho-mophobia.

Now I think it is a beautiful thing that you want to show this person you care and want to spend time with them getting to know the real them and all that crazy jazz. But the bottom line is, this changes the perception of who you used to be. The most common comment that will come out of your friends mouth (behind your back) is, “he cares more about getting laid then being with us”. Chances are you are having more intimate relationships and loving it, so you can’t hate that comment at all. Fellas listen to me very closely. Stop being a little woman. You had a life and friends before you met this girl and you have to make time for your old life and your new life in a way so that you do not lose yourself.

Sometimes when that relationship is over all those things will not be there anymore. You don’t realize that some people in your life will drop you. Now the good friends of course will stay but will think very less of you if you become a husband without a ring or child. You are young and

in college and there is no reason to start big boy life before you have to. Now I am not saying you can’t have a serious relationship and treat that woman like gold because you should. But there needs to be a balance of both in this stage in your life. College is suppose to be the best time in your life, so don’t screw up by becoming a ghost and think that it is ok. Chances are this relationship won’t last anyway. So don’t destroy true friends and bonds. If it’s going to last, you should be able to find a way to keep all the important people in your life.

Ladies now this is something I feel you really should listen to because this happens most times then most things I have seen in my life. A girl meets a guy and they start to date. Then the next thing you know the life you had before doesn’t even exist at all. All the girls and things you used to do together get put on some back burner and the next thing you know your life is now only involved in your boyfriend’s and that’s all you know. You get so caught up in this relationship you lose your identity, next thing you know there is a break up and you have nothing. Who wants to be put in that kind of position? Having to start life over pretty much and then jump from relationship to relationship just to feel like somebody isn’t any way to enjoy yourself. Don’t do that to yourself; plus I have seen good quality girlfriends are really hard to come by so don’t lose the quality ones because of some guy that chances are won’t last more than a few months anyway. Bottom line here is you can have a relationship and balance out the other important things in your life. Sometimes it’s hard and takes time to get used to, but if you care about the person and the other things, chances are you will find a way. Well friends my time is up maybe I will come back with another article in the future, you never know. Until that day I wish you all luck with whatever it is you’re trying to do in college. Just remember wear a rubber, be careful and have fun. Most of all, watch your heart. You only got one. Lastly if you sense or smell something fishy chances are it is… Holla

Dakota Fanning...A Chance MeetingBy “Baffled in Mac”I recently met the famous child, actress Dakota Fanning in a fast food place on eastern Long Island.

What a charming person. This youngster of 12 had more charm and aplomb than many adults I have met.

While in the midst of our talk about Maltese dogs, she sat and signed an autograph for a 5 year old. She then got up and pushed the chair in, went over and got some napkins and wiped off a table she had not eaten at. The point here is, she is 12...also a multi millionaire. She had enough respect and grace to do these tasks.

Why are there things left on the tables in MacDonald Hall? Are some students not able to grasp the concept of SELF serve? Have some respect for your School! This also assists in keeping your food cost down.

with Library Director Pamela Peters andInformation/Resource Assistant Maria Wesley

Campus Voice recently chatted with two key staff from the Resn-ick Library in the always popular Library Café, just one of many of the library’s wonderful offerings. Pamela Peters, Director of the Library, and Maria Wesley, Information & Resources Assistant, were gracious with their time, offering a wealth of knowledge about Resnick’s varied resources. They also explained more about the buzz around the new library hours necessitated by budgetary con-straints.

CV: Thanks so much for taking the time to chat with us. So tell us, what’s new and exciting at the Resnick Library this fall?

PP: Most recently, we rolled out our new web page. We encour-age everyone to check it out! We’ll still have the same great fea-tures but it will be improved in that we’ll be on a platform consis-tent with the rest of the College’s web pages. You can search the library’s entire collection, download articles to your pc and use the AIM chat to ask the librarian a question anytime the library is open. And don’t forget to check out the Library Blog to stay up to date on library news and get insights on other helpful information – like registering to vote!

CV: As a busy Vet-Sci student, I personally love that feature. I even placed “resnicklibrary”on my personal AIM for easier access.

MW: The site also offers helpful documents you can view and/or print, like how to correctly cite sources in your midterm papers. You can also access Illiad, our inter-library loan system. If we don’t have a resource in –house, we can borrow it from another library that does. It’s easy to set up an account (there are instructions on our site). Once you find material that you would like to order, the information is extracted from the other library’s catalog and pre-fills in your account. You just press the send button and wait for an email telling you the information is available. Either the material is emailed to you or you can pick it up hard copy at the library.

PP: We’re also very excited to have a presence in Vancko Hall which is new this fall. This moves the library and its resources to the online classroom setting. The “Post Your Questions” link allows students to ask questions about what they are currently working on. Students who check this out frequently may find answers to a par-ticular topic or an issue that is relevant to what they are currently working on. Answers will depend on student questions so if they post questions, they will receive answers!

CV: So it sounds like even though Resnick Library scaled back the actual hours it is open, there are many resources available to students 24/7 via the Internet.

PP: Exactly! And even when the library is open, we offer Real Time aids that make accessing our materials as convenient as pos-sible for SUNY Delhi students, faculty and staff.

MW: The physical library is a wonderful site to meet, study, and communicate. We invite students, faculty and staff to use our dis-play areas to educate the campus community about various inter-ests.

CV: What’s been the biggest change with the new library hours?

PP: Namely that we are no longer open on Saturdays, otherwise our hours are the same as noted online and in the student handbook & planner. Resnick Library is open: Monday – Thursday 8 am – 10 pm; Friday 8 am – 5 pm; Sunday 1 – 8 pm.

CV: How did it come about to close the library on Saturdays?

PP: SUNY-wide budget cuts made it necessary for Delhi to be more efficient with resources. We determined a day to close, based on usage: 10 to 25 students on average come to the Resnick Library on a Saturday. So we cut that day. Because we do have so much available online and Sanford Hall Tech Center is open on Saturday, we hope this hasn’t been a terrible inconvenience to anyone.

CV: Will the library be able to offer extended hours at the end of the semester?

PP: At this time a decision has not been reached.

CV: We will keep our ears open for that decision and suggest that our readers go to the Library web page for updates. You can access this under Academics at www.delhi.edu and email any questions or suggestions you have to library@delhi.edu .

MW: Resnick Library holds a lot of knowledge and our staff are more than willing to share it, online or in person.

CV: We agree and hope our readers do too. The library staff is here when students most need them to be and from personal experi-ence, I’ve always noticed that the staff give 100% of themselves. Thank you!

Display cases at the library are interesting and educational. Check them out next time you’re in the library.

A record number of 2,971 students are enrolled at SUNY Delhi this fall, the highest total in college history. The total tops the previous all-time high of 2,825 students set in 1977. It also represents a 7.4 percent increase over Fall 2007 when 2,767 students enrolled at SUNY Delhi. “SUNY Delhi is entering a new era where our growth is through on-line and off campus programs,” says President Candace Vancko. “We have introduced a number of unique programs at both the baccalaureate and associate degree levels that are expanding our outreach nationally and internationally.” More than 10 percent of SUNY Delhi’s enrollment now comes through on-line and off site programs. Leading the way is Delhi’s on-line RN to BSN, a program that was the first of its type in New York State . The program, introduced in January 2008 with an initial enrollment of 20 students, now enrolls more than 100 students from as far away as North Carolina , Georgia

and Korea. SUNY Delhi is seeing tremendous interest in an expanding line-up of baccalaureate programs offered in the Capital District. A total of 130 students are pursuing baccalaureate degrees in Hospitality Management,Travel and Tourism Management, and Business and Technology Management at the college’s satellite campus in Schenectady. Delhi also offers an on-line baccalaureate in Veterinary Technology Management, an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) through the Partnership for Nursing Opportunities with Bassett Hospital , an on-site ADN at Fox Hospital, and an on-line associate degree in Electrical Construction and Instrumentation through the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Latham.

OCTOBER16THE FUTURE FARRELL

Farrell Hall Will Close for RenovationsDecember 20, 2008

What Will This Mean To Campus Life?Farrell Hall, built in 1964, is in need of a face lift and Botox just won’t do it! College staff and stu-dent leaders have been laying the ground work and planning for this major renovation for years. In January, Thurston Hall will become the temporary, new home for the Student Activities Office, the Student Senate, Greek Council, Student Mailroom, O’Connor Center for Community Service, and the Campus Voice. The Art Center, College Radio and TV stations will move to the Evenden Tower Basement.

During the 18-month construction project, CADI will offer new eating venue options to compensate for the closing of Farrell eateries. A Cobblestone Market in Evenden Tower 212 will feature conti-nental breakfast in the a.m. and Deli items in the late morning, afternoon and evening. In the San-ford Hall Lobby, 1st floor, a Taco Stop will offer salads and a taco station. Additionally, MacDon-ald Hall will feature a grab-n-go station on the ground floor that will offer sandwiches, salads and beverages. Modifications will also be made to the Library Cafe for “coffee only” customers and Campus Convenience will extend its hours while offering more grab-n-go items.

Student activities will take place at various loca-tions around campus. Movies and comedy shows will be held in the Evenden Tower Pit (104), danc-es and major events will take place in the Clark Field House, and smaller scale music and novelty acts will be performed in the Midnight Cafe which will relocate to Mac Hall.

The new, completely renovated Student Center will open in the fall of 2010 and will include: a spacious, modern food court, the Campus Store, multipurpose spaces for all types of student activi-ties, lounges, offices for clubs and organizations, the Student Mailroom and theater.

Look for a special Farrell Hall edition of the Cam-pus Voice as well as flyers and other communica-tions to keep you updated. All coming soon!
