Ceja and Harvey, con vinced that the bugs were moving around, had the exterminators come back and clean the room just in case. “Hofstra is extremely prepared for situations like these,” said Director of Residential Programs Eric Finkelstein. “It is up to the exterminator to decide if it’s an actual bedbug or not. If it is, then they need to determine whether it’s an isolated case or a large scale infestation, and then they will use their expertise to handle the problem.” However, Ceja and Harvey are skeptical. “It was not an isolated incident, yet they keep telling us it was,” said Harvey. “Obviously the bugs are moving from room to room. I’ve even seen saran wrapped mattresses near dump sters outside of other buildings. It’s even worse that students are telling their colleagues instead of the school.” According to Harvey, a resident walked up to the exterminators

One year ago, on December 3, 2009 students across Hofstra University receieved an email from President Stuart Rabinowitz explaining that the school had made the decision to cut the foot ball program. Northeastern had made the same decision just over a week before and it took students by surprise that Hofstra, with a relatively rich football tradition, would be next in line. The email opened, “After a comprehensive review, the Board of Trustees has, at my recom mendation, voted unanimously to eliminate our intercollegiate foot ball program in order to redirect those resources toward aca demic initiatives and need–based scholarships.” The football team was informed the morning of the 3rd, just hours before a press conference informed everyone else. One year later, the feelings towards the decision are mixed. Some agree with the decision, some have accepted the decision as neces sary and others still harbor resent ment. The initial shock seems to have worn off, leaving just smaller groups upset, but the effects of

the decision remain an important part of Hofstra University. The 82 football players had a choice to make. The school would honor their scholarships for the remainder of their time at Hofstra, or they could transfer without sit ting out a one year penalty. Of the 82 studentathletes, 67 transferred (see box on page A17 for more information) and only nine remain at Hofstra. Steve Probst was one of the players who transferred. Probst was a sophomore quarterback in his last year with the Pride, splitting time under center with Cory Christopher and Joe Sidaris. Probst passed for 466 yards and !"#$%&'()*&+,-$.,*$/.,$0&/$112$ yards. He transferred to fellow Colonial Athletic Association program Rhode Island and is cur rently thriving as a junior.

Everyone gathered to enjoy its radiance cutting through the night sky. Hofstra University students and faculty were all encouraged to come out to the event. Hofstra University students Belinda Darote and Kanisha Kennedy feel the campus Christmas lights give the cold nights a warmer feeling, a feeling of home. “I think that the lights add to our campus a lot. They add a Christmas feel that tells us the holidays and break are right around the corner which I know all students are anxiously waiting for,” said Darote. “Christmas is my favorite holiday to celebrate. I think that the lights are a great idea and a great way to kick off this holiday season,” said Kennedy.”

The college matchups in The Hofstra Chronicle started out as a way to compare Hofstra University to schools with similar academic programs. Schools were chosen due to similar size, geographical location, academics, which also included schools from our athletic conference, the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). It started with a general curiosity as to how Hofstra compared to Fordham University due to the departure of former men’s basketball head coach Tom Pecora. The Chronicle discovered that Hofstra and Fordham were comparable, but Fordham had a much better academic reputation. Since Hofstra is still fairly young, just celebrating the 75th anniver

sary, most of the schools in the New York City metropolitan area were founded in the 19th century or earlier. Hofstra originated as an extension of New York University (NYU), which just celebrated its 179th year. The Chronicle saw this as a way to keep the university and administration honest about its academic improvements. Over the course of these matchups, The Chronicle found that Hofstra compared favorably in many of the comparisons to older schools. But at the same time there were some interesting losses. Hopefully though our readers learned a bit .7&'%$)&+$>&0-%/.$?,5"#/-5%;$!%-$ in to a larger national collegiate picture.

Hofstra’s School of Education, Health and Human Services announced the opening for the Center of Scholarship, Development and Outreach at the end of November. The mission to “enhance the collaboration of SOEHHS faculty and to promote scholarship and outreach to schools and communities,” as is stated in the mission statement on the University’s website for the Center. “The concept of developing the center was really a collaboration, a think tank process for scholarly outreach,” says the Director for the Center, Edward Zero. The idea for the center was a “joint effort,” says Zero as he explains that it took the collaboration of represen tatives from the different schools in Hofstra to successfully begin working on the idea of the center. One of the center’s biggest initiatives is the NSF (National Science Foundation) Project Based Learning Project. According to Zero “will connect concepts across disciplines and engage learners in critical and innovative thinking and collabora tive problem solving related to real world contexts.” Zero states that work for this grant is basically “done”.

The NYS Statewide Literacy Resource Center, according to information from the NYSED. gov, currently has “proposals to develop, implement and sustain a web based Statewide Literacy Resource Center (SLRC).” In addition, the Graduate Clinically Rich Teacher Preparation Pilot Program, according to NYSED.gov, states that “the statewide purposes of the Graduate Level Clinically Rich Teacher Preparation Pilot Program are to effectively prepare teachers for high needs schools and increase the retention of these teachers in order to posi tively impact student growth and achievement.” Each initiative portrayed has deadlines for the grant in January. Zero feels the center is impor tant because it will “serve as a tool for faculty” and allow them to “gen erate money to support research”. Essentially Zero is excited about the resource opportunities this will give Hofstra staff in their endeavors. When it comes to how the center will fair in the future Zero was clear that he hopes the center will increase in the way they interact within the different depart ments and gave the example of two different schools coming together to educate the community &,$@!,.,(5.:$:5%#/.(;AB

When one commits a crime, they are sometimes imprisoned as a form of punishment. A cer tain amount of time is set for the perpetrator to be held in a prison, based on the severity of their crime. If, and when, a person who !"#$%&&'$!&()$*'$+,*#-'$*#$.'"((/$ released, this is supposed to be the end of their punishment. But is this really the end? In everyday life, regular citizens continue to judge former inmates for their

past behaviors, to the point where it hinders the option to turn their life around for the better. It is not the sentence alone that acts as a hindrance to this possibility. Presently, of all the young AfricanAmerican men who have dropped out of high school, more than 33 percent are incarcerated. Even worse, more young African American high school dropouts are likely to go to jail than be employed.

Two years of his life were spent in prison, he was forced to declare bankruptcy, and he lost his house. What else does he have to do to make things right?

I believe this philosophy to be the truth in regard to all prisoners. They served their time, so they should be treated as a normal human; because every normal human makes mistakes. There should be no obstacles pres ent in their lives based on our judgments of them. They were already judged for their crime by a jury of 12, and they have paid their debt. We need to learn to forgive a little more quickly instead of jumping to judgment as our modus operandi.

Now that it’s after )*!35/B,6,3BG#:+#1!3#09.1,!@@C# start thinking about Christmas. But it is such a loaded word in today’s society. Christmas could be seen as an overly commercial ized holiday with people lining up at three or four the morning after Thanksgiving just to snag super deals for gifts. Stores put up their Christmas displays as they are taking down their Halloween ones, sometimes even before, in the hopes of creating more shopping days and maybe even a frenzy. Christmas could be viewed as too secularized. The phrase “Happy Holidays” has replaced “Merry Christmas” in an effort to be more politically correct, and not offend those who don’t celebrate Christmas. Some towns have debates over whether to put up a nativity scene on public ground or to include a menorah and Kwanzaa candles also. As a result of these debates, a public display of a crèche usually has at least a Santa, a snowman and a menorah nearby. Perhaps Christmas is too reli gious. Many Christians are ever ready to remind others of the true meaning of the holiday, which is to celebrate the birth of their

savior, Jesus Christ. The problem is that Jesus was not born on December 25th at 12:01 AM. We don’t know exactly when he was born because the Bible only gives a few vague references to the reign of King Herod instead 09#!#A,-"*#1+-",.1!"+(#)*+-+# is a clue in a verse in the Gospel of Luke that men tions shepherds tending to their sheep outside at night, which rules out the cold and rainy winter months. With all this squab bling over what Christmas really means, people seem to forget that the roots of Christmas and a majority of its celebrations can be traced to preChristian times. There are plenty of winter fests that were celebrated around the time of the 25th before Jesus was born. The Romans hon ored their god Saturn by giving gifts on Saturnalia. The early Germanics celebrated Yuletide as a 12day festival and started the tradition of burning a Yule Log. Pagans celebrate the winter solstice because they believe the sun is reborn on the shortest day of the year. Even the origins of the Christmas tree can be traced to the worship of the ever

green during the long dreary winter. It wasn’t until sometime in the fourth century when the early Christian Church started to celebrate the nativity on December 25th, that the birth of Jesus became linked with the

winter holidays. Even though Christmas means different things to different people, there’s no denying that ,"#,/#!3#,7D0-"!3"#",7+G#.@@+2#:,"*# family, friends and good cheer. The diversity in how we celebrate

Christmas only adds to the magic of the season. So do what you normal ly do every Christmas – whether it’s going to church, decorating a tree, or going to the movies and eating Chinese food – and be merry. Just don’t forget where the holiday came from.

Sitting down to write this edito rial I had every intention of writing about the things I will miss at Hofstra while being abroad this spring. Though, as I was generat ing my list it began to take a turn. While Hofstra cookies, Music Fest and entertainingly horrify ing public safety alerts are on the list of things I’ll miss, I will not miss the Long Island “snow”. I was recently reading an article on the world’s largest snowman. If anybody on Long Island made a snowman that didn’t look like it was made by Pigpen it would deserve applause. I think snow is the best thing in the world. Not a vast overstate ment. That being said, Long Island snow may be the most

depressing thing in the world. Not a vast overstatement. I didn’t think it was possible for slush to occur before snow even hit the ground, but I was proved entirely wrong freshman year. Slush actu ally falls from the sky on Long Island. There is no real snow. The world record for World’s Tallest Snowman is held by Bethel, Maine for their latest snowman completed on February 19, 2008. This snowwoman stood 122’1’’ tall.

Dogg’s Hamlet, Cahoot’s Macbeth, was a humorous, yet bizarre combination of Dogg’s Hamlet, which was spoken in a unique code language, known as ‘Dogg,’ and a condensed version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The play took place in Emily Lowe Hall, from Dec 14, and was directed by Ian Poake, a BFA performance major. The play begins with the tap 45&0"&6"7089:!(*1&8!;<49=4"*$& and a quirky schoolgirl named Baker, played by Maria Camilo, who repeatedly recites “ sun, dock, trog,” which automatically some may question.

The students set the mood of the play, by speaking in a strangely intriguing language while trying to set up the dead microphone.

Later, the ambiguous Hamlet, performed quite accurately by Conor Burke who gave the role of Hamlet a bit of a risible spin, goes through many phases. Similar to Shakespeare’s, Hamlet, the summary of the story was done fastpaced, and pre cisely covered the plot, with the addition of exuberant personality from all of the characters. The second half of the play, Cahoot’s Macbeth, started out in English, but then became puz zling at times when the language revolved back into ‘Dogg.’ The beginning of the play gave off an ominous spirit, with three witches (Taylor Phillips, Maria Camilo and Peter Previte) who did a miraculous job of interacting with the audience, and creating a spooky feel. Macbeth (Ben Pike) lives in an apartment that is being inspected by a villainous Inspector (Cassie DeMarco), who tries to shut down the apartment, which winds up failing. Although the inspector’s plot to take down Macbeth failed, DeMarco did a phenomenal job of dominating the second half of the play with her richly robust attitude. Overall, the revival for modern audience was confusing at times. However, considering the three week time frame in which the play was put together, the energy of the cast members made for a delightfully engaging atmosphere.

The third showing of Thursday Nite Live aired last Thursday to a full audience broadcasted from Dempster Hall. Aside from some overly long skits if TNL keeps their writing up they are going to return with a great spring season as well. The December 2 show opened with a writer’s room sketch featur ing Michael Hayden, who deliv ered laughs as he complained of not receiving the best roles that instead went to fellow cast mate Emmanuel Neris. When a role that perfectly described Hayden’s physical appearance was men tioned it was eventually given to Neris much to Hayden’s dismay.

This overall was one of the most popular sketches due to Hayden’s comedic timing, voice and facial expressions. The second sketch of the evening involved Neris and fellow cast member Lizzie Parrot who expertly played Barbara Walters in The Position. The sketch was a mock of The View as the group discussed the topic of gay marriage. Dani Letsche brought in some laughs for her impersonation of Elizabeth Hasselbeck as they poked fun at her intelligence and conserva

tive views. Claire Entrup served as a sarcastic Joy Behar while Christina Williams portrayed a hilarious Sherri Sheperd. Overall the group portrayed the famous women very well and adapt ed to their individual personalities. Jake Link and Sarah Whittle were back for TNL News, which proved to be too short of a seg ment in comparison to the other skits. The jokes, although funny, were overshadowed by a dramatic movie trailer, starring Link who was tired of being cast in non serious roles. The trailer had its moments but went on for too

long; I would have liked to hear some more “news.” A “4 Loko” package aired throughout the one hour show and featured Bennett Tyler who recorded his reaction to drinking a full can in thirty minutes. It was a humorous skit due to the recent ban of the alcoholic beverage in New York and was most relat able to the audience and Hofstra students for its high popularity on campus. Another package featured music in the style of “The 12 Days of Christmas” that directly mocked Hofstra with rewritten lyrics such as “7 nights of drink !"#$%&'()*&+,-./$%&0"1&'1*23& until I’m 53,” as part of the eight nights of Hanukkah. The song was hilarious and was a favorite

amongst the audience. The song somewhat dragged and could have been set at a faster pace. “Nghbrs,” a Long Island based rock band served as the musi cal guest. The numbers they performed were powerful, as the lead singer had a strong voice that carried well. One of the songs featured a smooth piano intro that departed from the band’s louder rock songs. Overall TNL did well on many of the skits, although some could have been shortened or had better timing. Some skits were slow in the beginning but usually delivered decent jokes and laughs in the end. TNL will return after the break for a spring season.

Don’t Die suffers from overslick production and aimless songwriting, but most importantly it lacks heart.

It is not very often that the phrase “Ballet thriller” is followed closely with “Masked serial killer” but Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan is just that.

Her dedica tion has kept her living with an incredibly overbearing stage mother, wonderfully played by Barbara Hershey, who has done her best to preserve Nina’s inno cence.

AsÂ thisÂ isÂ theÂ lastÂ issueÂ ofÂ TheÂ HofstraÂ ChronicleÂ of,Â notÂ onlyÂ theÂ semester,Â butÂ ofÂ theÂ yearÂ 2010,Â IÂ feltÂ thatÂ weÂ shouldÂ makeÂ sureÂ weÂ ranÂ theÂ obligatoryÂ â€œbestÂ ofÂ theÂ yearâ€?Â list.Â TheÂ followingÂ isÂ aÂ listÂ of,Â inÂ thisÂ assistantÂ editorâ€™sÂ humbleÂ opinion,Â theÂ bestÂ albumsÂ ofÂ theÂ yearÂ 2010.Â

A)JHI 7JPMFU o 5IF National AÂ combinationÂ ofÂ masterfullyÂ orchestratedÂ andÂ layeredÂ instruÂ mentationÂ andÂ broodingÂ lyrics,Â HighÂ VioletÂ actsÂ asÂ TheÂ Nationalâ€™sÂ magnumÂ opus.Â

A5IF 8JME )VOU o 5IF 5BMMFTU .BO PO &BSUI LeaveÂ itÂ SwedenÂ toÂ provideÂ oneÂ ofÂ theÂ mostÂ promisingÂ heirsÂ toÂ theÂ Americana/FolkÂ musicÂ tradition.Â

SparsenessÂ andÂ technicalÂ abilityÂ comeÂ togetherÂ toÂ createÂ aÂ sparseÂ andÂ masterfulÂ album.

A$POUSB o 7BNQJSF 8FFLFOE OneÂ ofÂ theÂ mostÂ SuccessfulÂ â€œindieâ€?Â bandsÂ ofÂ recentÂ years,Â VampireÂ WeekendÂ provesÂ theirÂ worthÂ byÂ evolvingÂ whileÂ keepingÂ theirÂ trademarkÂ lyricsÂ andÂ rhythÂ micÂ sound.Â SmartÂ yetÂ accessible,Â theÂ albumÂ morphsÂ continuouslyÂ whileÂ keepingÂ continuityÂ throughÂ outÂ andÂ remainsÂ lightÂ throughout.

A"HF PG "E[ o 4VGKBO Stevens ProvingÂ himselfÂ onceÂ againÂ toÂ beÂ notÂ onlyÂ oneÂ ofÂ theÂ bestÂ songwritersÂ ofÂ ourÂ time,Â StevensÂ showsÂ usÂ howÂ expansiveÂ hisÂ musicÂ canÂ be,Â movingÂ fromÂ acousticÂ andÂ orchestralÂ musicÂ toÂ

aÂ moreÂ electronic,Â texturalÂ sound.

A5IF 4VCVSCT o "SDBEF Fire AÂ conceptÂ albumÂ aboutÂ suburÂ banÂ malaise,Â WinÂ ButlerÂ andÂ comÂ panyÂ turnÂ modernÂ ailmentsÂ intoÂ aÂ symphonicÂ dissertationÂ onÂ theÂ currentÂ stateÂ ofÂ America.Â LikeÂ theÂ sprawlÂ itÂ dismaysÂ over,Â theÂ albumÂ !"#$%&'(&#)%*&%*+",$%-&."/+'%0'(1& inÂ subtleÂ andÂ unexpectedÂ ways.

A.Z #FBVUJGVM %BSL 5XJTUFE 'BOUBTZ o ,BOZF 8FTU ReturningÂ fromÂ theÂ wasteÂ landÂ ofÂ theÂ mediocreÂ 808â€™sÂ andÂ HeartbreaksÂ andÂ bitter,Â televisedÂ outbursts,Â WestÂ bringsÂ sneeringÂ versesÂ andÂ variedÂ collaborationÂ toÂ proveÂ thatÂ heâ€™sÂ asÂ awesomeÂ asÂ heÂ thinksÂ heÂ is.Â ByÂ bringingÂ inÂ differentÂ artistsÂ fromÂ hisÂ ownÂ levelÂ ofÂ stardom,Â asÂ wellÂ asÂ aÂ fewÂ indieÂ

surprises,Â thisÂ albumÂ playsÂ outÂ asÂ oneÂ ofÂ theÂ greatestÂ comeÂ backÂ recordsÂ ofÂ recentÂ inÂ recentÂ memory.

A5IF .POJUFS o 5JUVT "OESPOJDVT IfÂ ArcadeÂ FireÂ madeÂ aÂ symÂ phonyÂ outÂ ofÂ suburbanÂ malaise,Â thanÂ TitusÂ AndronicusÂ wroteÂ aÂ dissertationÂ onÂ urbanÂ outrage.Â PossibelyÂ neverÂ beforeÂ hasÂ anÂ albumÂ displayedÂ suchÂ gritÂ whileÂ includingÂ aÂ bagpipeÂ solo.

A#V[[BSE o .BSHPU BOE 5IF /VDMFBS 4P BOE 4P T Â Â Â Â Â Â MargotÂ abandonedÂ theirÂ orchestratedÂ popÂ soundÂ forÂ theirÂ newestÂ release,Â exchangingÂ itÂ forÂ aÂ gritty,Â melodicallyÂ simple,Â yetÂ powerfulÂ work.Â FilledÂ withÂ ambigÂ

uous,Â harrowingÂ lyricsÂ andÂ fuzzÂ ladenÂ guitars,Â theÂ albumÂ showsÂ anÂ unexpectedÂ evolution.ContentÂ rangesÂ fromÂ theÂ windyÂ streetsÂ ofÂ ChicagoÂ toÂ theÂ dirtyÂ streetsÂ ofÂ NewÂ YorkÂ City,Â fromÂ theÂ troublesÂ ofÂ infedelityÂ toÂ bitterÂ contemptÂ forÂ modernÂ times.Â

A'MBXT o #PNCBZ #JDZDMF $MVC TheÂ BritishÂ bandÂ strippedÂ downÂ theirÂ jauntyÂ rockÂ soundÂ toÂ createÂ aÂ tastefulÂ andÂ acousticÂ aestheticÂ toÂ createÂ aÂ veryÂ singularÂ album.Â 23+'4%&."5&%'!673&)(8&'(*'!)*$739

Â FusingÂ reverbÂ vocals,Â resonatÂ ingÂ guitars,Â andÂ aÂ varietyÂ ofÂ wellÂ craftedÂ rockÂ songs,Â aÂ memorableÂ albumÂ consistentÂ inÂ quality.

BearÂ struckÂ aÂ delicateÂ balanceÂ betweenÂ theÂ scienceÂ ofÂ technicalÂ accuracyÂ andÂ theÂ artÂ ofÂ liveÂ gusto.Â SniderÂ treatedÂ hisÂ pedalboardÂ asÂ anÂ instrumentÂ untoÂ itself.Â WhileÂ someÂ areÂ quickÂ toÂ criticizeÂ thisÂ aspect,Â theÂ bandâ€™sÂ fansÂ seemedÂ toÂ acknowledgeÂ andÂ appreciateÂ it. ClosingÂ yourÂ eyes,Â theÂ setÂ couldÂ haveÂ beenÂ aÂ recordingÂ playingÂ inÂ anÂ intenselyÂ strobeÂ litÂ room.Â WhetherÂ thisÂ isÂ aÂ criticismÂ orÂ aÂ complimentÂ dependsÂ onÂ yourÂ prioritiesÂ asÂ aÂ concertgoer.Â TheÂ bandâ€™sÂ tightnessÂ wasÂ undeniable,Â andÂ theÂ productionÂ qualityÂ high.Â OnÂ theÂ otherÂ hand,Â theÂ perforÂ manceÂ atÂ timesÂ lackedÂ theÂ rawÂ energyÂ thatÂ oftenÂ isÂ theÂ reasonÂ peopleÂ attendÂ shows.
