Beginning in Fall 2020, it was mandatory to wear masks in side of all dormitories and class rooms, and if students failed to do so there was potential for administrative consequences. Students as well as faculty were required to take part in routine COVID testing. If students were to test positive, they were forced to quarantine in a designated building for a week or until they tested negative. Now as the Fall 2022 semester kicks off, that is all in the past.
“I’m still cautious with masks because COVID isn’t over yet and there is still potential for outbreaks. Overall, though, it’s nice not hav ing to wear my mask and getting my glasses fogged up,” Eniyah Mat

The chain of unanimous decisions was interrupted when Senator Nilay Vaidya expressed a concern for Silvanus’ ability to remain impartial.

Lee felt that Brightspace is “not as intuitive” as Moodle or Blackboard. He explained the transition from Moodle to Blackboard using an analogy of moving from New England to Texas: “You are still using English, but just a different accent.” But moving to Brightspace from either of the two platforms is moving “across the border to Mexico.”
“My job as chief justice will supersede any personal relationships,” Silvanus said in his defense.

Loan forgiveness causes debate
This recent announcement had sparked mass debate in the country. Perhaps the most prominent debate amongst peo ple is whether debt forgiveness is fair. Is it really fair to someone who has already paid off their debt? Why should a person who paid off their student loan debt have to pay money in taxes to the government to pay for some one else’s debt.
To many Americans, the Biden administration’s new plan to cancel student debt is a bad solution to an even worse problem. A vast number of Americans are concerned with regards to the economy. Many believe that the extra spending
by the government will not be good in the long run. A couple weeks ago, former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers stated that Biden’s plan will only make things worse.
If inflation, and tuition costs with it, continue to rise, it will only lead to a downward spiral of spending between the gov ernment and students. Only time will tell if Biden’s plan is really the best solution to the debt problem.
These two roles are played by Austin But ler and Tom Hanks, respectively, and their performances in this film were critical to making the movie as good as it was. This, combined with the creative directorial style of Baz Luhrmann, helped to create one of the best films of the year.
“Every dollar spent on stu dent loan relief is a dollar that could have gone to support those who don’t get the oppor tunity to go to college. Student loan debt relief is spending that raises demand and in creases inflation. It consumes resources that could be better used,” Summers said.

ing away that right, the Texas Supreme Court is not holding back whatsoever, ruling over a month ago that upholding an abortion law from nearly a hundred years ago was the right decision. The 1925 law is similar to one of Tennessee’s trigger bans, with no excep tions for rape or incest. And under the new trigger law, the penalty is far greater than the $10,000 fine introduced last year, regarding helping a per son obtain the procedure. Now, anyone who attempts to pro vide or actually performs the procedure will face $100,000 at least in legal charges and a felony charge.
The problem with these “trigger laws” are if states have provisions in their leg islation that allows a doctor to perform an abortion in a medical emergency, it is hard to determine whether or not there is one, or to the extent where a doctor will not be punished. Therefore, doctors may be hesitant to offer the procedure at all, putting a woman’s health at serious risk.

using the report as an outlet isn’t that great, because most of these cases often go un reported, after a person has experienced a traumatic ex perience and does not want to continue reliving that trauma.
As bleak as it sounds, the uncertain future of these laws is unwarranted and puts a strain on those who want to be sexually active with con sent. Even being safely active does not mean that one can not get pregnant. That may not be something they want, not every situation is the same, and as contraception access is being questioned in other states, it’s a scary time for individuals who are just trying to live their lives and express their freedom.

Abortion bans attack autonomy
It is unfortunate that those who have had to endure do mestic violence situations, assault and rape will now be forced to keep a child they may not have intended to have in the first place. For states like Tennessee, one of these six-week trigger laws prohibit abortion, with no exceptions for rape or incest, according to the New York Times. Under both the ban and laws, the only point where a person conceiv ing may have the procedure is if having the child causes death or injury.
As Roe v. Wade was struck down June 24, after the Su preme Court overturned the almost 50-year-old constitu tional right to abortion, more and more states began to intro duce trigger laws and bans to put restrictions on those who wish to have the procedure — as these are legislations that had already been passed by more conservative state gov ernments, in the event Roe v. Wade was overturned.

The media is not covering the conflict as diligently as it was at the beginning of the war and seems to have been brushed under the rug.

With Plattsburgh host ing the matchup this year, they went on to lose 2-0 in plucky fashion. A conse quential moment came in the final mo ments of the game when Villemaire was given a red card on a seemingly contro versial call, with the graduate student and Coach Frary immediately express ing displeasure with the referee. This call puts her playing status unlikely in the team’s upcoming SUNYAC debut.
The Cardinals would strike once more before the second half, with a highlight reel goal from Fitzgerald. The junior, who had stepped up to make a slew of important defensive plays already, made another en route to scoring.

With time dwindling down, Platts burgh finally got their fortunate bounce. With 10:25 left in the game, Seidman was awarded another corner. After this one landed just outside the goal box, the op posing defense attempted a clear, which came down right in front of junior Saman tha Rachon in the penalty arc. Without hesitation, she shot the ball out of the air, bouncing it off the bottom of the crossbar into the net to break the standstill.
Villemaire mentioned how frustrating the game was on offense up until this point, adding how a number of her team mates hit the crossbar and the goalie hav ing some great saves. She said the team had to dig deep to finally get the goal.
Plattsburgh maintained the shutout throughout the final minutes of the game and finished the game allowing twelve shots, while tallying 13 of their own. Ennis earned the win, saving four and improving to 2-0 with both being shutouts. Skidmore split the halves be tween Rogers, who earned the loss, and
Despite the nine-shot half and 11 to tal throughout the game, RPI would be kept off the score sheet and fell to an 0-2-1 record to begin their season. Plattsburgh finished with 13 shots in an all around team win.
“I feel like if we lost that game, obvi ously a loss sucks, but it could have re ally put us off to a different start to the season,” Villemaire added. “It would have kind of put a damper on the sea son right from the start.”
Rachon, who played her first year at the Division II Robert Wesleyan College and scored one goal in her four games there, joined the Plattsburgh team last season and also played four games at defense. With a bigger role this season, she chose a clutch moment to score her first Cardinal goal.
The Cardinals capitalized on the early momentum right before the 15-minute mark. After an attempted clear from RPI was headed back the other way by the Cardinal defense, graduate student Sam Spear deflected it forward for Villemaire. With little space to work with and two defenders to get past, Villemaire went to work, briefly bringing the ball to a complete stop then moving it over to her other foot with speed. Once she quickly got into the arc, she took a low shot that beat the goalkeeper, giving her team the early 1-0 lead. Last season, she tallied nine goals, the second highest total on the team. She begins her graduate year with two goals in four games.
“Our motto this season is just taking it game by game,’’ said Fitzgerald. “We just have to show up for these games, the rest will follow. I think it’s just very important for us being mentally there because we are all talented enough physically to do it, the hard part is staying focused throughout.”
Despite the excellent start to the sea son, both Fitzgerald and Villemaire mentioned the importance of practices this week. Fitzgerald strived how the way the team practices will reflect the way they play and that they need to work on putting two halves together. Villemaire talked of how there is an out come this week and said the team needs theseEnnispractices.saidhow early in the week, the team wasn’t looking at conference play and was getting mentally and physical ly prepared for the Middlebury game.
Plattsburgh’s SUNYAC opener will take place at the Field House Soccer Complex Sept. 17, as the team looks for revenge against Cortland, who are 3-0-2 coming into conference play. The Cardinals were 7-2 in conference games last season and, with many of the players in their final season, the stakes for success are high.

After a thrilling 1-0 win, Plattsburgh looked to continue their win streak just three days later against RPI. Last season, these teams played Sept. 4, 2021, which re sulted in a 1-1 tie after two overtime periods.
This time was different, as Plattsburgh found their stride swiftly. It began when the team tallied a shot right after the two- minute mark. Six minutes later, Seidman hit the top of the crossbar on a shot from outside the penalty arc. Only a few moments after this chance, the Cards lined up for a corner kick where sophomore Sophia Hatziyianis took a shot amid chaos inside the box that bounced off the post.
With RPI pressuring and sending a
“I was just trying to break free, so I could find a good pass and I heard Coach [Frary] in the back saying just keep go ing. I was waiting for one of them [RPI] to step to me so I can slot it and the more I went, the more the lane opened,” Fitzgerald said. “I felt good to finally complete it. I went back the next day and looked at it, I didn’t even realize it was off the header. I had no idea. I kind of just blacked out at the moment.”
