HWS Welcomes the Classes of 2015

Darell Hammond, KaBOOM! founder and CEO, is this year’s Convocation speaker. Since its inception in 1995, KaBOOM! has constructed thousands of playgrounds across the U.S. On Monday, Aug. 29, Darell Hammond, founder and CEO of KaBOOM!, a not-forprofit organization dedicated to saving play for America’s children by building playgrounds, will open Hobart and William Smith’s academic year by delivering the Convocation address. Hammond’s speech begins at 5 p.m. on Stern Lawn.

Hammond’s most recent awards include Washington Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 Award (2010), American Express NGen Leadership Award (2010) and NYU Stern’s Satter Social Entrepreneur of the Year Award (2008).

“There is a play deficit in our country and it is harming our children,” Hammond wrote in his book KaBOOM!: How One Man Built a Movement to Save Play. Children today play less than those of any previous generation,

he says, and more than 40 percent of school districts across the country have reduced recess time. Therefore, playtime is slowly becoming a privilege and less of an inherent trait of childhood. “We can save play so our children can be fitter, smarter, happier and healthier.”

From growing up at the Mooseheart Child City & School, a group home outside of Chicago with his seven brothers and sisters, Hammond learned the power of volunteerism and the importance of helping those less fortunate. After attending community college and Ripon College, Hammond joined an Urban Studies Fellowship through the Associated Colleges of the Midwest. There, he studied under Dr. KaBOOM! continued on Page 2

Congratulations and welcome to the Classes of 2015, transfer students and exchange students!

CAB’s Welcome Back Concert to Feature Sam Adams

By Carrie Stevens ‘12 Editor-in-Chief Known for his Shwayzelike beats and freestyle ability, recording artist and former Hobart student Sam Adams will perform for Hobart and William Smith’s Welcome Back Concert on Sept. 3.

“We knew that we wanted to bring a rap or hiphop artist to campus because from what we have seen and heard from students on campus, it is what they are listening to and expecting from our concerts,” explained Campus Activities Board (CAB) President Hannah Hood ’12. Last year’s performance featured rapper Shwayze, and other national musicians Gym Class Heroes and Caroline Liar have dropped beats at this annual concert.

Born Samuel Adams Wisner, Sam Adams attended the Colleges for two years and played soccer

for the Statesmen before transferring to Trinity College in Hartford. It was during his senior year the Boston native became an Internet sensation. “I Hate College,” a remix of Asher Roth’s “I Love College,” launched Adams to instant stardom in 2009. The following year, he released an underground mixtape titled Boston’s Opening Day, in addition to aboveground debut, the Boston Boy’s EP. The album debuted at number 1 on the iTunes hip-hop chart in its first week and reached #73 on The Billboard 200. The EP’s success can be attributed to its most popular track called “Driving Me Crazy,” which notched #8 on the iTunes hip-hop singles chart.

Hood says the concert will cost more than CAB has spent in the past. To secure additional funding, Hood

proposed on CAB’s behalf to Hobart Student Government and William Smith Congress for money from the excess fund.

“I think in the long run it will be worthwhile.

Sam Adams is an up and coming artist and has had a lot of great concerts at schools similar to us.”

Adams’ 2011 College Tour stops included York College, Wesleyan University, St. John Fisher and Photo courtesy of: www.mtv.com SUNY Oswego.

The concert is On Saturday, Sept. 3 at 7 p.m., the sound of Sam slated to last from Adams’ suburban rap will welcome HWS students 7-10 p.m. on the back to campus.

KaBOOM! continued from Page 1 John Kretzmann, director of the Assets Based Community Development Institute in Northwestern University.

The institute, which focuses on mobilizing struggling communities using resources already at hand, would later serve as a communitybuild model for KaBOOM! In 1995, Hammond read an article in the Washington Post about two young children who died after being trapped in an abandoned car while playing because there were no safe places for children to play in the community. This inspired Hammond and his friend Dawn Hutchison to address the need for playgrounds.

The two were already committed to designing a day of service for Youth Service America, so they decided to build their first playground at Livingston Manor in southeast Washington, D.C. The project involved more than 500 volunteers and took

five days to complete in October 1995.

Although not under the organization’s name, this build inspired the inception of KaBOOM! Under Hammond’s leadership as CEO, KaBOOM! has raised more than $200 million, rallied one million volunteers and led the hands-on construction of 2,000 playgrounds.

During a KaBOOM! playground build, local corporations, community groups, parents, teachers and kids collaborate to design their dream playground. As a result, the community gains a safe place for children to play while it strengthens relationships and becomes more connected.

On Aug. 27, half of the nearly 700 Hobart and William Smith first-year students will refurbish three Geneva playgrounds as a collaboration between the Colleges, the Geneva community and KaBoom!

Campus Celebrity: Showtime Joe

By Bevin O’Connor ‘12 Herald Contributor As you walk into Saga, it is easy to see what stations have the most appetizing meal options for the day. A quick assessment of the line length in front of ‘Classics’ can tell you whether this area is serving delicious macaroni and cheese or some kind of chicken nugget creation smothered in marinara sauce.

The number of people huddled around the vegetarian station is an indication that you will either enjoy a hot vegetable panini or deep fried tofu surrounded by numerous unknown vegetables.

While all of the stations have their successful and unsuccessful dishes, there is one station at which there is always a sizable line: Showtime Joe. Whether it is chicken stirfry or nachos, the dishes from Showtime Joe’s station can always be counted on to satisfy your taste buds. However, it is not simply the delicious aroma that exudes from this station that students find irresistible. Even if you are a vegetarian and the dish of the night is beef tacos, it is worth standing in line simply to chat with the charismatic chef behind the counter.

This is Joe’s sixth consecutive year working at the Colleges, but what most people don’t know is that he also got his initial start cooking here when he was seventeen. When asked what inspired him to become a chef in the first place, he replied that his brother asked him a similar question once, to which he replied that he would “always have a job” because people “always want to eat.” This practical reason has developed into a “passion” Joe adds, one that two of his sons seem to share.

While one might think that working in Saga is not be as exciting as working in the kitchen of a restaurant, Joe says that he loves the continuously “changing atmosphere” and the “interaction with the kids” is a “plus plus.”

As far as Joe’s favorite part

Need-to-Know Phrase: Saga-Sitting [sah-guh sit-ing] verb The act of sitting in the Saga dining hall for an extended period of time for the purpose of socializing, people watching and/or digesting food.

I was going to start my 10-page paper after dinner, but I ended up Saga-sitting for two hours.

On-Campus Dining Saga Saga is located in Scandling, and it’s the best place to go for variety.

There are several different stations: Classics, Pizza, the Grill, the Island (for salads), and there’s also a vegetarian option. Saga is home to a wide range of desserts and drinks, and it also contains a toasting station for bread and bagels. During lunch, students can get wraps or sandwiches, while the evening meal routinely brings “Breakfast at Dinner.” During dinner on weeknights, Showtime Joe serves up an amazing dish that you can watch him prepare while chatting about campus events or life in general. In addition to Showtime Joe, another Saga celebrity is Betty, just as well known for her friendly demeanor. If you’re seeking variety, Saga is your best bet.

The Café The Café is located in Scandling and serves wraps, smoothies, burritos, burgers, and coffee. Opening at 7:30 a.m. on weekdays, it is a great place to stop for a cup of java before that early morning class. However, on weekends, the Café does not open until noon.

Belinda Littlefield/Photographer

of the day—breakfast, lunch, or dinner—he said that “just to be cooking is enough.” With the love for cooking that Joe clearly possesses, the time of day is inconsequential.

Throughout my conversation with him, a smile rarely left his face, and he told me numerous times, with an appreciative shake of the head, “I love my job.” Joe also said that part of what makes his job so enjoyable is that there are a number of chefs in the back that prepare the meat and sauces, which allow him to truly enjoy the preparation of the meals and the interaction with the students.

These unseen culinary chefs “don’t get the credit they need,” he says.

Delicious food and great conversation–what could be a more tempting place to get a meal? Just to say hello to the cheery chef is well worth waiting in the longest line in Saga.

Editor’s note: Showtime Joe’s new restaurant, Ryan and Showtime’s Cafe, opened its doors on Aug. 16. Located on Hamilton Street next to Joe’s Hots, the eatery serves breakfast and lunch from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. everyday except Tuesdays.

The Cellar Pub The Cellar Pub is conveniently situated in the basement of Coxe Hall. It offers specially selected foods and beverages such as charbroiled hamburgers, deluxe chicken wings, personal pizzas, ethnic appetizers, desserts, cappuccino, espresso, soft drinks, imported beers and both local and imported wines. The Pub is unique for its homey atmosphere, since it has been a fixture at the Colleges since the early 1950s. It’s common to find professors meeting with students and classmates working on assignments.

de Cordova Café The de Cordova Café is located on the first floor of de Cordova Hall. (Students commonly refer to the dorm as South).

This operation features Starbucks beverages as well as a variety of sandwiches, pastries and snack items.

Enjoy a hot grilled panini sandwich, Smart Market salad or cool down with a Creamice Smoothie. Thanks to its Wi-Fi Internet, large screen TV and sound system, de Cordova Café is a popular hangout spot for area residents.

3. Go to class. There is no one forcing you to attend—it’s up to you. In most cases, attendance factors into your final grade.

4. Make a plan.

Buy a planner, get a calendar and use it to keep track of assignments and exams. CTL provides seminars at the beginning of the semester; take advantage of them.

5. Go to office hours.This is an opportunity to ask professors questions you were hesistant to pose in class. Also, if you’re shy, attending office hours helps show your professors you pay attention during class.

6. Don’t give up. If you didn’t get into a class you wanted, talk to the professor, especially if it’s a course you’ll need for your major. Most likely, they can put you on a waiting list.

7. Sleep at night, not in class.

This may seem like a basic concept, but many students stay up all night and wonder why they can’t keep their eyes open during class. If you must pull a dreaded all-nighter, try to squeeze in a nap the next day.

8. Check your school email often. Professors use it to tell you about assignments and when you don’t have class.

9.Get involved in clubs and activities. It’s a great way to meet people, and it will give you something to plan your time around.

Does the picture above resemble the HWS campus right now? Don’t worry; it gets better. By the end of Orientation, you’ll be able to identify at least a few landmarks. For a more comprehensive guide to campus, turn to pages 4 and 5.

10. Talk to Career Services. Yes, you can do this as a first-year student. Career Services can help you find summer internships and develop a post-college plan.

For more information check out Global Ed’s website at www.hws.edu/ academics/global/.

Studying abroad is a wonderful experience; keep an eye out for a future informational meeting.

Gulick Hall holds several important facilities for students.

Perhaps the most important is the Office of the Registrar; this office works with your courses, grades, transcripts, and other personal home and campus information. The staff is very friendly to students and has a variety of information.

Through the PeopleSoft Web site students can access their final grades, register for courses, and view their courses and an unofficial copy of their transcript. While you can view your transcript on the Web site, the only way to have your transcript forwarded to other

groups (such as those for applying for internships) is to go to the registrar in person. The registrar is also where you send your AP and other courses with college credit.

The office also has paperwork in which you can learn and apply for courses on the eight goals, change your advisor, request transcripts, and release your information. You also submit your major and minor declarations to them; these you will be filling out later in your academic career. You will be working with the registrar along with your future advisor several times throughout your academic career here at HWS.

Campus Happenings Looking For an On-Campus Job?

By Maddison Case ‘14 Herald Contributor College is expensive. We all can contest to that. Thankfully, Hobart and William Smith Colleges works hard to provide its students with the best financial aid packages possible. However, even with their support, many students are still in need. Curious as to how one goes about getting a job on campus?

No worries! More often than not, the process is very simple and the options are extensive.

First and foremost, there is a plethora of jobs offered at HWS, and each student is responsible for seeking out their own campus job opportunities. From jobs in the dining hall to lab assistant positions to refereeing intramural soccer games to being a child’s tutor in American Reads or American Counts, the spectrum is wide and flexible. All students looking for employment should be able to find a position that suits them.

The trick to getting a job

here at HWS is to apply early and to multiple positions. Federal work study students have priority during the first two weeks of each semester to snatch a spot, so if you have this award act quickly to utilize your advantage! However, HWS Work Study recipients may begin securing employment on campus upon the arrival of the third week of classes. Not sure which award you received? Feel free to ask The Office of Financial Aid and Student Employment, located in Demarest Hall (the basement of the Chapel).

In order to work on campus, students must prove their identity and eligibility to work in the U.S. by completing an I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form that can found in the Office of Human Resources. This is to be finished after being hired and before the student begins working. The applicant will typically need either a driver’s license/student ID card or a

U.S. Passport, in addition to a social security card or birth certificate.

Once you have employment on campus, paychecks are either dropped off in student mailboxes or deposited directly into a bank account of the student’s choosing every two weeks.

Students commonly earn around $7/hour, and the highest paying jobs on campus are with Sodexho Dining Services ($9.45 per hour). Shifts for the latter are available seven days a week. Whether you choose to stock drinks, work the cash register, or make sandwiches for your fellow students and faculty, Sodexho has an option for you.

For a listing of jobs on campus, check with Human Resources; a helpful list is available on the HWS website along with contact information and job descriptions.

Email is also a useful tool for circulating job opportunities to the student body. Furthermore, if you

faculty member, or the Office of Financial Aid and Student Employment if they’re hiring! You may be pleasantly surprised when you begin receiving paychecks for doing something you love.

Budgeting Bucks During College

By Laura Alexander ‘14 Herald Contributor It doesn’t take long to figure out that college is expensive. From room and board to textbooks, the bills add up quickly. But the good news is that there are many ways to save a few extra bucks during your time here at Hobart and William Smith.

Let’s start with something every college student knows plenty about: food. Whether eating breakfast before a big exam or snacking in the dorms while working on a paper, food is an integral part of college. But what are the ways you can save money on food? First off, take advantage of Saga. It’s already been paid for when you select your meal plan, so why let that money go to waste? And while we’re talking about Saga meal plans, choose the one that works best for you. If you’re not a big eater or even prefer to eat in your room, then silver or basic plan will suit you fine and save you a few dollars.

Also with your meal plan comes snack money for the Café and Pub. Use it. The Café carries most basic food necessities like water bottles, coffee and cereal, which can save you from running

to Wegmans or Wal-Mart for basic groceries.

S n a c k money is also good for a quick meal when you’re in a hurry.

Watch this m o n e y c l o s e l y though, as it’s easy to spend too quickly and run out before the semester is halfway over.

W h e n snack money just doesn’t cut it and you need more than the Café offers, check local flyers for coupons and sales. If you have to wait a few days for sales or clip a few coupons for what you need, the savings will be well worth the extra work.

College students also spend money on

textbooks.

Although it may be easier to simply preorder your textbooks through the College Store, one great way to save money is shop around and compare prices instead. Check websites like Amazon.com, textbooks.com and half.com. These sites will have the books you need at much cheaper prices.

Some sites, like Amazon for instance, even offer free shipping and handling when you sign up for a student membership, which is also free.

Another way you can save big bucks on textbooks is by renting them. Let’s say for example you’re taking Economics 101, but plan to be an English major. You’ll have no use for the economics textbook once class is done, so why waste money buying it? Instead, use the more economical solution and rent it. Sites like rent-a-text.com and collegebookrenter.com offer textbook rentals for the semester and then take them back when you have completed the class.

The cost of attending college can be overwhelming. But, with some smart planning and a little research, any student can save money.

And not only will this leave you with more money to spend having fun, but your parents probably won’t mind the savings either.

Opinions First-Year Guide to Time Management

By Melissa Warner ‘12 Herald Contributor

Remember: College is a new experience. Take a deep breath, try something different and expand your horizons.

Get the Most Out of College

By Kristyna Bronner ‘14 Herald Contributor A good friend once reminded me, “There’s a time and place for everything: that place is college.”

As a first-year, college marks the beginning of the next chapter in your life: no more parents, childhood friends, or living at home. College, a time of independence and growth, may seem intimidating. The key to enjoying and succeeding in college is trying new things. By putting yourself out there, you open the door to discover new passions and meet new people.

Trying new things requires self-motivation. The decisions you make affect no one but yourself: your professor still gets paid whether or not you go to class or do you work; other students still get together whether or not you decide to go to club meetings; events still go on whether or not you attend. Why miss out on all of the fun by sitting in your room?

Getting involved on campus is the solution to many of the problems you may be worried about as an incoming first-year.

Starting with a fresh slate allows you to take new classes, pursue new interests, and put yourself out there to meet people you otherwise would not meet.

You might be concerned about making new friends, and you probably went to school with the same people for most of your life and haven’t had to make new friends in a while. This process is not as intimidating as it seems.

By being involved in a variety of different things, you will make a variety of friends. Hobart and William Smith Colleges offer more than 70 different student organizations from the HWS Figure Skating Club to Glass Blowing Club and the Russian Society. Students are always welcome to create their own organizations as well.

Another worry may be time management. It may be having too much free time and not knowing what to do with it all. Your simple solution is to fill up your time with things that interest you, such as a club sport or activity. Or, you may worry about not having enough time. The biggest thing to remember about college is that no one forces you to do anything: there is no babysitter to make sure you go to class or do your homework. Managing your time is up to you.

There will be plenty of things that seem more alluring than going to class or doing your work, but in the long run, procrastinating or slacking off will be your downfall.

Most professors give you a syllabus for the whole semester.

Utilize your planner or a calendar and write down major due dates and projects. By keeping track of what is going on in each of your classes, you will know which weeks will have heavy workloads.

You can also make up a schedule for yourself based on the free time that you have outside of classes and activities. For example, if you have an hour between classes every Tuesday, you can spend that hour in the library getting a jumpstart on homework or going to a professor’s office hours. If managing your time seems too daunting, the Center for Teaching and Learning can help you with time management and study skills as well as tutoring for subjects you may be having difficulty with.

Remember, college is full of many great opportunities and people, but you have four years to experience it all. Don’t be afraid to try new things or ask for help when you need it. At the end of college you’ll have a degree, new friends, and great memories: make the most of it.

Welcome to HWS, Classes your life as well as you can. This of 2015!

Arts and Entertainment Get to Know Your Area

By John Howland ’10 Herald Contributor

This section of The Herald is meant to give the students of the Colleges a taste of what Geneva and the surrounding area has to offer.

The Captain’s Room The Captain’s Room Café, concurrent with the cachet that great diners pride themselves on, is a great place for breakfast or lunch.

Located on 372 Exchange Street in Geneva, down and across the street from Ciccino’s, it is a quick drive from campus. The resemblance to the famous Water St. Café is not a coincidence, as the former owner used to be the husband of the current

owner of Water St. Despite the similarities, the Captain serves some great and truly unique dishes. The lunch menu includes a selection of 16 different burgers with 1/3 pound of beef for $3.95 each. Variety abounds at the Captain’s Room with not only the burgers, but also seven different types of wraps, four different salads and a list of egg choices. Despite the plethora of options, vegetarians and vegans will be hard pressed for lunch options. . Breakfast is served all day.

Lunch begins at 11 AM, continuing until 2 PM when the café closes

The Flour Petal

Upon arrival, Iwas seated immediately and served drinks within the first couple of minutes. I indulged myself with the Captain’s Stuffed French Toast. The filling was a mixture of cream cheese and fluff. This creamy sweet mixture was the pinnacle of the meal. The fresh blueberries adorning the creation were light and natural, fresh rather than drowning in the heavy syrup of canned fruits.

Although her main cliental is locals, Jennifer Barnard is hoping to expand to students and tourists.

The most popular choice among customers is the #1 combo which consists of two eggs, home fries, and toast all for $2.99. Low prices are consistent in the menu with the most expensive dish being the Captain’s Platter, which includes two eggs, four strips of bacon, home fries, and two pieces of French toast for $6.45.

For those concerned with their health, there is a low-carb option, and egg whites can be exchanged for an additional sixty cents.

Overall I was really impressed with this restaurant. There were many different choices for all different kinds of people. The stuffed French toast alone is reason enough to add this to your Sunday Morning brunch schedule. Especially concerning price and quality, I give The Captain’s Room 4/5 stars. Got a little captain in you?

Chinese Cuisine Main Moon is located on Exchange Street and offers a wide selection of Chinese food at decent prices. It is a small location, however, so not the place to go if you are looking to bring a large group; however, what they lack in size they make up in delivery service.

Their delivery service has mixed reviews, so you may want to pick it up yourself.

Ling Ling’s Chinese Buffet is located on Hamilton Street, a half-mile past Wegmans, and provides both delivery and carry out but are more well known for their buffet service.

This is a great place to go if you are looking for something cheap and suitable for large groups.

Wing Tai Oriental Restaurant is located at the top of Castle Street and is better for an intimate sit-down atmosphere. They are known for their good food, generous serving sizes, and friendly staff.

The Flour Petal is a small shop missed by many students not only because of it’s size but also the location. Located at 34 Linden Street, it is right near the Post Office, stuck in the middle of a one way street. Although it may not exactly be on your way it is definitely worth the stop.

The inside is something reminiscent of your kitchen back home. The wooden paneling combined with the hand written signs let you know that you are at a truly local business. Time does not seem to pass here, but rather stand still as your mind relaxes and forgets about that ten page paper you haven’t started yet.

I walked in just past three on Friday and the aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies engulfed my nostrils. The window looking into the kitchen allowed me to see exactly where the smell was coming from. The owner Judy Dombek emerged from this aromatic orifice to take my order of a grilled cheese and cappuccino.

After I informed her that I was from the Herald and that I wanted to interview her, she tidied up and sat down with me. This interview was more like catching up with my grandmother than procuring information for the school news paper.

Take-Out Dining

This café specializes not only in lunch time delicacies but also a profusion of lattes, espressos cappuccinos, coffees and teas.

In addition to this very Italian sounding drink menu, there is also over twenty different flavor shots that can be added to your beverage.

There are many different types of lunch options including both cold and hot sandwiches, wraps, and salads to choose from. Probably the

most famous choice is the Rubin sandwich. If you prefer brunch, then you are in luck as all of the breakfast options are served all day.

After being in business for eleven years Judy has seen many students come and go through her shop. She has always tried to make it a “home away from home”.

So whether you are visiting the Flour Petal for it’s breakfast, lunch, beverage, or desert options I can say with confidence that your visit will be worthwhile. I give this little hole in the wall five out of five for it’s homey appeal, delectable options, and gracious owner. So I encourage you to stop on by and get to know Judy and her wonderful creations.

Pizza Wars All of these offer calzones, wings, salads, and subs; however, it is their different take on pizza that distinguishes them from their competitors.

If your favorite pizza has a thin crust with a mountain of melted cheese. Grease is a foregone conclusion, but that is what napkins are for. (315)-789-6297

Other

Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant is located across the street from Wegman’s and next to Irene’s Coffee House. They provide a wide range of cheap appetizers and Mexican cuisine classics such as burritos and tacos, although this list barely covers the range of foods available.

This is a great place to gather in a group and indulge in spicy food.

Head to Mark’s if your favorite pizza is an equal balance of cheese, dough, and sauce. Try delivery, because it is fast and worth the tip. (315)-719-0205 If you are the kind of person that likes to think outside of the box, head to Ciccino’s for a specialty pizza to spice up your life. (315)-789-4613

New faces and meeting people are just part of the college experience. Orientation is used to help smooth the transition, but this very situation will likely occur several times after being confronted with nearly 700 faces in one weekend.
