“It is critically important that we all recognize our responsibility to engage in civil discourse at all times and especially during historical transitions in presidential leadership such as this,” Kaplan wrote.

UNH experimented with a campus-wide open dialogue last month after the controversy over Sheriff David Clarke left many students, families, and alumni angry over the accusations of

disinviting the controversial speaker. In this dialogue, students had the opportunity to speak their mind on controversial issues, in an effort to better understand the differences between students.

There is another open dialogue discussion scheduled for Monday November 14 at 12 pm in the German Club to continue the conversation that was cut short last month.

From Wooster Square Safety Pins to Up in the Air

ichael Quiello grew up right in downtown New Haven. All of his childhood he was told that he couldn’t do things. He couldn’t get off of the street, he would never amount to anything, and he would never be a pilot, like he always dreamed.

But in 2011, after decades of flying for Delta Airlines and the United States Marine Corps, Quiello had the chance to induct his heroes into the National Aviation Hall of Fame as Chairman and President – the same people who made him want to be a pilot in the first place.

“Sometimes you don’t want to meet your heroes because they’ll never live up to your expectation, but you exceeded my expectations,” said Quiello, when he thanked one of his heroes, Joe Engle, for inspiring him to succeed.

The veteran pilot, now the Vice President for Corporate Safety at United Airlines, grew

up down on Wooster Street in New Haven, a tough neighborhood where many of his friends weren’t so lucky to become a success like he did. Although some others made it out and became successful – a Ph.D, a Connecticut State Judge, an insurance executive – a few did not, and became alcoholics or had trouble with drugs.

Quiello learned at an early age that it takes self-motivation to achieve your dreams, and with inspirational guidance from many air pilots and astronauts, he got the confidence to go after what he wanted in life. After time and time again watching

over the fence at airplanes taking off at the local airport, an official who worked there asked him if he wanted to be a pilot, to which he agreed eagerly. It turns out that the official owned the flight school, and from there on, he had a path.

“When I would say that on the street, they would laugh at me,” Quiello added, talking about how no one on his block had ever been a pilot before.

Quiello got his educational start at the University of New Haven as a Civil Engineering major, graduating in 1974, and is now on the Board of Governors. He was the keynote speaker

last week at the Bartels Lecture Series put on by the University.

One of the restrictions that Quiello thinks is holding many young people back is a reliance on others to guide them in the right direction, specifically waiting for a mentor to bring them along and present opportunities to them.

He noted that this is not a way to gain success, and that it actually comes from within.

“I always tell the people that work for me: ‘It’s your career, not mine,’” he said.

He also wanted to express how important it is for individuals to surround themselves See MICHAEL page 3

with a support system full of people who are encouraging.

Personal confidence is key, according to Quiello. Having that inner motivation to go after what you want and look for the best way to do so is one of the most important parts of being successful.

“What I tell people is, if you’re in the frying pan, you can either die in the frying pan, you can learn to live in the frying pan, or you can get out of the frying pan. I had to get out of the frying pan,” he said.

It’s also crucial to understand your capabilities, and live towards them. Quiello found the most difficult part of rising to success was breaking away from the negativity in his life, since after a while it gets embedded into

you.

Quiello spent time in the Marine Corps, where he learned the important qualities of discipline and selfworth, and attributes many of his personal advantages to that experience.

“They never told us we couldn’t do it. If you can get through all the craziness, you walk out of there saying ‘man, I can do anything,’” he said.

Quiello’s tips for being successful always gravitate back to focusing on the individual. He expressed the importance of doing a self-analysis, looking at where you want to be in three, five, and ten years, whether it be personally, professionally or financially.

He also mentions that employers are really looking for a good fit culturally in a potential new hire. The technical

@ChargerBulletin

skill is a small, nonetheless important, part of a candidate’s resume, but the best personality can be the difference.

According to Quiello, the most important things students can do to get out there into the real world is volunteer, meet people, give back, rise to leadership roles in organizations that you are passionate about.

Passion is another keystone of what Quiello wants people to invest their time and energy in. The heroes that he inducted into the Hall of Fame inspired him because they seemed to radiate a passion for what they do, and having that for yourself is one of the most important things.

“I always like to say, you have to love to go to work and you have to love to go home.”

Election Reactions con’t from page 1

The UNH administration scheduled - several weeks in advance - an open walk-in day at the new Center for Diversity and Inclusion for the day after the election. This day would allow students to come in and talk about their feelings the day after the election, no matter who won.

Juan Hernandez, Director of the Center for Diversity and Inclusion wanted this to be a day where students, no matter who, could come into a safe space and just “be.”

“We just provided a space for students to do whatever they needed to do in that moment,” he said.

Hernandez noted that there was not a lot of group discussion during the day, but there were counselors available if needed by students.

He also pointed out that there were many students of different races, backgrounds, and religions that came into the center that day, including white students who were coping with the news.

The director of this new office, aimed at helping to facilitate a healthy, diverse campus, had an interesting response when asked what students should do to move on from the current divisive climate.

“If you don’t agree with the policies [referring to Republicans in government], if you don’t agree with the rhetoric, run for your town council, run for your board of ed, run for your state representative, your state senate.

Do whatever you need to do to get involved,” he said.

Hernandez mentioned that he would like to see more diversity in government, and not just with race, but with gender and age as well. He also advised students to not fall into the traps of argument with people they disagree with on social media.

A lot of rhetoric on so-

not talked much about how they will better the interests of the younger generation, and it is chasing them in the opposite direction of the voting booths.

Along with the problems that the millennials have with the candidates, social media has influenced their desire to vote. Millennials and the generations younger than them live their lives on social media.

They have created their whole social lives on these applications, and they feed off the reactions that they get from their peers.

Millennials believe a lot of information that is thrown onto whatever social media that they are on. With the help of social media, they are able to follow their favorite (or least favorite) candidate and watch their every move. They wait for someone to say something they don’t like and then they are stuck with reasons why they don’t like this person, not why they do like them.

In addition to this, they are hearing their peers’ views on what their take on the election is. Every time a person logs onto a form of social media, they are able to enter themselves into what

cial media from citizens on both sides of the spectrum have projected that President-elect Trump’s policies may not be as dire as his campaign suggested, especially now that he will have to go through the process of government before enacting many of his plans.

However, there may be concern with undocumented immigrants all over the country with Trump’s new plan, before a wall is even designed.

“If there was a Mexican student from UNH

is almost like a virtual political debate.

In opposition to the idea that social media is inhibiting the voting habits of millennials, it is also encouraging some to go and vote.

Social media is a quick and easy way to get an idea about what is going on in society.

Although it is a helpful resource, it is difficult to decipher what information is actually true, and what information has been lost in translation. A lot of people read the things on social media and they form their opinions based on what they read. Although this is a great way to stay connected with the world, this information is sometimes bias so these people reading it are only getting one side of an argument.

This can lead to them voting for someone they know very little about, which could be more harmful than not voting at all.

Comparing Millennials to previous generations, there is a large gap in their voting habits. Whether it is social media or the candidates themselves scaring away this new generation of voters, there is difficulty in encouraging them to express their opinions at the voting booth. studying abroad in Italy and [Trump] repeals DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), that student would not be allowed back into the U.S., all because of one signature,” Hernandez said.

The UNH administration has begun the conversation on how to deal with these types of instances once Trump takes office in January, should he follow through on his claims.

This name, that you are given or that you chose, is important.

There is power in a name. Beyoncé. Harry Potter. A name can serve as one’s master status, their ‘defining feature’ with associated attributes. If someone laughs like Fran Drescher, you can get a sense of how they laugh without even hearing their laugh. If someone says that I can do cartwheels like Simone Biles, you should gather that I could cartwheel with years of gymnastic precision, even though I may not have done gymnastics (I didn’t).

Don’t Lose Hope

By SARAH COSTELLO

Contributing writer SCOST2@unh.newhaven.edu

––––––––––––––––––––– On Wednesday [Nov. 9] morning, Republican businessman Donald J. Trump was announced to be the 45th President of the United States by winning 62 more electoral votes than Democratic senator Hilary Clinton.

The entire day was filled with anger, despair, and depression about our new “oh-soglorious” president and everything turned to chaos. Riots broke out in the streets, people burned down newspapers stands, and several family and friends become more divided and began to hate one another. It seems that America has hit an alltime low because of us letting politics our lives,

but we don’t realize we are the ones who can fix the damage as long as we don’t give up.

There is no doubt that having Trump as scary.

Most notably, he has said some nasty things about women, Muslims, and Mexicans among others, and with him being in power, many question if he’ll go through with all of what he said about them.

However, it doesn’t mean it must happen, because not all the people of the United States, even Republicans, agree with such treatment, and believe in equality.

We have the greatest power to unite our beliefs, and stand by them despite what someone of power might say.

Ultimately, it is up to us to stop the hatred that divides us all and unite the country in a

way the government cannot.

We don’t have to disown our family or cut off our friendships in real life or on social media simply because some of them voted for Trump. They had their own reasons for supporting him, beyond the ideas of hatred towards women and racial profiling that were legitimate and made he was the country’s best hope.

We must learn to respect their opinions and not make a huff about it. We must learn to love each other for our differences and overcome the hate that has continued to separate loved ones.

The people of the United States are the ones who must stand up to those who have power and be a voice to those who are not heard

By CAITLIN CARNEY

When I was a junior and senior in high school going on college tours they always said that they wanted to see that you did so many activities that they questioned how you were still alive.

That’s what I did.

Throughout my four years of high school, I was a part of at least seven different clubs, sports, and other extracurricular activities on top of having a job.

Even with such a busy life, I managed to still have a social life and keep my grades up.

Honestly, if it weren’t for all of these activities, I wouldn’t be anywhere close to the person I am today.

Doing all of these activities helped me learn what I liked to do, what I didn’t like to do, and what I want to do for the rest of my life.

Being so busy in high school also taught me incredible time management skills. I knew that if I had work until 4:30 p.m. and then band at 6:00 p.m. that I had to use that hour and a half of free time wisely if I was to be able to get all of my homework done and eat.

When I first got to U.N.H., I wanted to continue to do the same activities that I did in high school, but I found that many of the activities I was interested in happened at the same time. I figured that not

being in as many activities would be fine, because I mean then I’d have more time to focus on school work, right?

Instead I found that my time management skills suffered immensely because I had too much free time.

Instead of having a free hour, I now had a free day. This lead me to believe that I had more time to do things later and I spent more time watching Netflix or reading. After a few weeks struggling to manage my time, I realized that I needed to take up more of my time in order to regain my time management skills. Since I couldn’t do the same things I did in high school, I decided to try new things, and so far, I’m really enjoying them.

Now that I am a part of all of these different activities, I am finding my time management skills to be much better, and I’m having more fun and making more friends.

I think being a part of so many various clubs is not only beneficial to me, but could be beneficial to any college student. When you go off to college, you’re more often than not in a new place with people you don’t know, and quite honestly, you have no friends. How are you supposed to make new friends if all you ever do is sit in your dorm doing homework or watching Netflix? If for nothing else, join a club or two just so you can

make new friends!

While I think making new friends is definitely one of the most important reasons to join a new activity, joining a new activity can help you learn new things as well.

It doesn’t matter if the activity you join is related to a topic you’ve known all your life or if it’s completely new to you, you will always learn new things. I learn new things every week in marching band even though the activity itself is not new to me, and I learn new things every day when I ref sports because I’ve never done that before.

Being able to adapt to learn how to do something a new way or even just to do a new thing in general is a skill that will be immensely important later in life in your job or career.

If your boss wants you to give an interview, but you’ve never interviewed before, you’re going to have to be okay with trying it out and learning how to do it.

If your boss wants you to do a major part of your job differently, you need to respect them and try the new way.

While I know not everyone has the time to dedicate to a bunch of random activities, it’s better to at least join one club or activity during college. If you don’t, you’re most likely going to wind up alone in your dorm watching sad movies on Netflix, and who really wants that?

and are ignored. While we are all afraid that terrible things might come to America in the future, we must remember to NEVER give on hope for one another and our nation.

It is the unity of the people and the hope for a better tomorrow that will keep America and thriving. Through our perseverance for a free country where everyone is equal, we can conquer the fear of a pos-

sibly dangerous future with us holding onto our personal beliefs.

We must accept that hope is still alive and we must fight for it no matter what. To quote famous author and YouTube personality, John Green, “I don’t think hope is idealistic or silly. I think it is the founding emotion of our species.”

If we were built on the emotion of hope and looked to create new

paths of equality and happiness for, then we must not abandon it even when the future appears to be bleak.

Hope is not pointless. It will guide up to a better tomorrow where we longer fight over Donald Trump being our president, but rather we fight to shape our nation into one for all of the people to live each and every day in freedom, equality, and preserverence.

With the recent results of presidential election, I decided to see how many people were really with President Donald Trump, and how many were still rooting for Hillary Clinton. The results make sense due to the unfortunate chaos and rioting around the world caused

ow that the

regular season is in the books, the University of New Haven Chargers move on to their Northeast-10 Conference playoff game against rival Southern Connecticut State.

The Chargers are coming off a victory in their final regular season outing against the Bentley Falcons. Quarterback Ajee Patterson led his team on Senior Day with 160 yards and a touchdown in the air.

His backfield mates, Andre Anderson, and Lemar Thomas, combined for 138-yards on the ground and Anderson scored the only touchdown on the day.

Defensively, linebacker Tyler Condit led the team with 15 total tackles and a sack, as the team held the Falcons to only an early first quarter touchdown.

Southern is coming off a slim, three-point victory against the Saint Anselm Hawks. Quarterback Ray Catapano had a 278-yard performance, 235 of which came in the air, adding four passing touchdowns to his stat line.

Three Ways to Fix the New York Jets

By CHRISTOPHER DIGERONIMO CONTRIBUTING writer cdige1@unh.newhaven.edu

–––––––––––––––––––

The New York Jets came into the 2016 season with very high expectations. They were able to re-sign their franchise record setting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to a one year $12 million deal with incentives. They retained their top two receivers in Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall.

On top of that they signed pro bowl run-

ning back Matt Forte, and they retained the reputation of having one of the best defenses in the league. With all this going on, the NFL also announced that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was suspended for the first four games of the season.

This announcement caused the AFC East to suddenly become an open division because nobody knew how the Patriots were going to play without Brady. The Jets were also handed

the toughest schedule in the league, but with all their assets they believed that they would be able to handle it.

Fast forward 11 weeks later and Jets fans see a team that is running out of fuel. The defense is horrible, the offense can’t score, and everything seems to be going wrong. I am here to give you three ways the Jets can improve, and possibly turn the season around.

Cubs Win

season.

The Chicago Cubs came into the 2016 playoffs with the best record in baseball and the most heavily favored team according to Las Vegas bookkeepers. This team, built from young cornerstone players and former Cy Young Award winners, started hot in the National League Division Series. In a best of five series, the Cubs defeated the even-year favorite San Francisco Giants in four games.

While many of the games they played were close, the Cubs continued their seasonal mantra of solid pitching and timely hitting. Led by second-year third baseman Kris Bryant, who slashed a line of .375/.412/1.099 during the series, the Cubs stormed into the National League Championship Series, hoping to win their first pennant since 1945.

In the National League Championship Series, the Cubs offense disappeared during games two and three against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cubs’ bats exploded in game four, scoring 10 runs while only yielding two, and didn’t look back.

The MVPs of the series would be second baseman Javier Baez and starting pitcher, Jon Lester. The Cubs had already made history, but they wanted more.

The Cleveland Indians entered the postseason with the second-best record in the American League, but did so while enduring many injuries to key players like Carlos Carrasco and Michael Brantley. The Indians hadn’t made a World Series since 1997, but have not won the World Series since 1948, so they came in as underdogs.

Cleveland would now face the Cubs in a World Series that is more than a half century in the making.

The 2016 World Series may go down as one of the greatest World Se-

ries ever played. Even if you disregard the sheer history in play, a 108 year drought v. a 68 year drought, the games were close and the drama was ever-present. After fairly easy streams to the Series, this series would go the distance of seven games to determine who actually the best team in Major League Baseball was in 2016. Although only three of the seven games were decided by one run, it didn’t seem possible that the Indians would be able to finish the series in six games.

After leading the series 3-1 heading into game 5, Chicago wouldn’t quit. Seventyone years since their last World Series appearance couldn’t end in anything other than victory in the minds of Cubs fans. Neither team believed that “there’s always next year.” Every fan believed that this was their one chance to break the curse.

The dangerous Cubs offense was almost nonexistent in the first five games of the season, but down to what could have been their final game of the season on Oct. 30, they fought.

The Cubs won game five by a score of 3-2 and then would move on to Cleveland for the final two. Home field advantage meant nothing in cities so close, everyone was fairly represented.

While game six was an easy win for the Chicago Cubs, a 9-2 highlighted by a 6-RBI night from Cubs’ shortstop Addison Russell, it would only set the stage for what might become known as the greatest game of all time.

Game seven of the World Series began with a bang as Cubs’ outfielder Dexter Fowler led off the game with a homerun to dead centerfield. The Indians matched that run in the bottom of the third inning thanks to an RBIsingle by designated hitter Carlos Santana.

The Cubs would rally to score two in the fourth

@ChargerBulletin

and two in the fifth, holding a 5-3 after a wild pitch allowed two runners to score in the bottom of the fifth.

Cubs catcher Cody Ross, who announced his retirement from the game earlier this year, would hit a homerun in the top of the sixth inning, becoming the oldest player in Major League Baseball history to hit a homerun in game seven of the World Series. The score would remain until a tired Aroldis Chapman was brought in to face the lower half of the Indians order in the eighth.

An RBI double by Brandon Guyer set the stage for what might be the most dramatic homerun hit in Indians history. Rajai Davis hit a two-run, game tying homerun with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, fulfilling many young players’ lifelong dreams.

The only way to better that would be to hit a walk-off. The ninth inning would end in a 6-6 tie, leading to a short rain delay before extra innings. In that short delay, Cubs underachieving outfielder Jason Heyward held an inspiring meeting.

The meeting certainly inspired them as they would score two runs in the top of the tenth off Bryan Shaw.

The Indians attempted comeback would fall one run short, ending with Michael Martinez grounding out to Kris Bryant, who would throw across the diamond to the other Cubs cornerstone in Anthony Rizzo. The Chicago Cubs have just broken a 108-year curse that many millions of people could not see and many millions other believed that they would never see.

The only questions that remain are: Can Cleveland return next year to break their own curse? And can Chicago create a dynasty which hasn’t been seen since the 1996-2001 New York Yankees?

Jesse Tate.

The Owls would attempt to make a late fourth quarter comeback as they would drive down the field and seven more points to their side of the scoreboard to make the score 26-24. The Chargers would get the ball back with about two minutes left to play and all they had to do was run the clock down to zero and that’s exactly what they did. U.N.H. would win their final game of the year by a score of 2624.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Chargers were led by Senior Ajee Patterson, who played his last game as a Charger on Saturday. Patterson threw for 187-yards and two touchdowns on the day. Lemar Thomas took over the running back duties as starter Andre Anderson was not suited up for the game; he finished the game with 82 yards and a touchdown.

The receivers were led

by Senior Ty Headen, who had 83-yards on 6 catches, while Jesse Tate was on the receiving end of both of Patterson’s touchdown passes. Defensively, the team’s all-time leading tackler, Senior linebacker Tyler Condit, led the charge with 13 total tackles and a sack and combined with defensive end Ralph Jonathas for half of another.

Mark Clements had the team’s only interception on the day.

With the season completely over, the Chargers are looking to move on to bigger and brighter things. While they may have to fill the shoes of 16 starters, eight on both offense and defense, there is no shortage of young guys ready to step up and fill those spots. Some of those guys include Freshman running back Ryan McCarthy and Junior quarterback Kellen Croce.

ranchise movie making has become one of the most profitable endeavors in the film industry. Starting in 1977 with Star Wars, universe building has proven to yield returns of over a billion dollars a film. Franchises such as Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings capitalize on episodic installments in the stories of their larger universes. Yet, no cinematic universe has been as consistent at producing critically acclaimed films, as well as profitable projects as Marvel Studios.

Marvel has done this again with their most recent film, Doctor Strange.

of a hero. The monks that Strange trains with are essentially wizards.

The storyline is nothing unseen before, following the classic “goodwizard-gone-bad” plot line. Yet, where Doctor Strange excels in is the visual representation of accessing the higher dimensions. As all of the television ads have shown, the mandala like settings are beautifully rendered and best scene in IMAX 3D. One scene in particular involves Strange going on a trans-dimensional trip where he flies through all sorts of cool graphics. Think the quantum realm scene in Ant-Man, but extended for five minutes. This is one of the most stunning sequences seen in film recently.

Cumberbatch is a likeable hero who clearly has the acting chops to secure himself along other Marvel stars like Chris Evans and Paul Rudd. While hearing his American accent is off putting, Cumberbatch does a good enough job of differentiating himself from previous roles to create a dynamic new hero in the MCU. Tilda Swinton costars as The Ancient One, an ancient sorcerer who leads the faction of monks that Strange trains with.

Swinton brings her all to the role as she always does, and might even

top her performance in Snowpiercer. While The Ancient One is traditionally an Asian male in the comics, it is always a good thing to fill the Marvel universe with more strong female characters. Chiwetel Eljiofor and Benedict Wong also star as monks who are trained in the mystic arts. Both of tThe Martian actors hold their own as more than just simple wizards, and are characters with depth.

The script and direction of Doctor Strange is spot on. Whereas past Marvel films like Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers have suffered from too light of a tone given the grave circumstances, Doctor Strange excels in having moments of levity while still treating itself as seriously as inter-dimensional threats deserve to be treated.

On the whole, Doctor Strange is among the top three solo Marvel films, along with Iron Man and Captain America: The First Avenger.

It will be exciting to see where the character is taken in the future of the Marvel universe, especially given the post credits scene. While much of the plot takes places within an hour, Doctor Strange is still an immensely satisfying movie going experience that merits multiple viewing experiences.

of Literacy Volunteers is to empower adults through literacy.

Taylor Edgecomb, the President of AMA, was pleased to see the huge turnout, 18 teams, at the event.

She says, “A week ago today, there was only one team signed up.

I think we marketed well.”

Navjot Singh, the immediate-past-President, said that Face-

book, reaching out to personal connections, emailing professors, getting PEP approved, and of course food, really generated interest.

The event was held in the Alumni lounge at 8 p.m. where the APO Eagles took scrabble by storm. Sam Jones, Kayleigh Perez, Dan Disbrow, and Erin Snyder, the winning participants, took home first place and Amazon

Gift Cards.

Signh says Literacy Volunteers is an organization that can help people who speak English as a second language read and write past an elementary school level.

“There are a lot of things that are simple for us because we are used to it and we take it for granted,” said Singh.

Sign” and “The Price Is Right.”

The committee has around seven members and meets once a week to discuss ideas for future projects. Some of their upcoming events include “90’s in November,” stenciled mason jars, and “relaxation day.”

There are three events like paint night per month. Each committee has at least two events per month.

“College is all about the experience and when you come to my events you can take the experience home with

you,” says Lambie.

Nicole Langlois VP of operations said, “Paint Night is a fantastic event because it allows students to get out of their rooms and unleash their creativity!

SCOPE’s mission is to plan new and exciting events for the enjoyment of the campus and this event truly showcases that goal.”

Students in attendance certainly had a great time unleashing their creativity with their friends.

“This was the best stress reliever I’ve ever had,” says Ally Drewes.

Ett Robison agrees saying, “I liked this event, painting is calming.”

Students painted everything from skylines to inspiring quotes, allowing their creativity to flow. The night was a huge success with everyone leaving happy, and SCOPE cannot wait for the next time!

“Thank you to everyone who came out for paint night! The turn out was great so I’ll be sure to plan another one next semester so be sure to look out for it,” says Lambie.

Students Line Up for Paint Night

By LAUREN COHEN

STAFF writer lcone2@unh.newhaven.edu

––––––––––––––––––––– Hosted by SCOPE, and planned by head of the novelty and variety committee, Andrea Lambie, this semester’s second paint night was a huge success. Crowds lined up in the Westside lobby waiting to be let into classrooms 111 and 112. Rows of tables with canvas’s and water were spread out around the room. Up in the front various colors of paint were spread out. Once 8:45 p.m. hit, everyone lined up to pick their colors and grab their seats.

SCOPE has five different committees.

The novelty and variety committee hosts “make and take” type of events. The materials are provided and it’s up to you to create what you’d like. Previous events from this committee included, “Make Your Own Street
