O P I N I O N S Why are you ignoring The Cayuga Collegian?

Every week The Collegian’s Staff, and especially myself put a paper together that we hope the students, faculty, administration and staff take the time to read. The Collegian’s staff is made up of a group of hard workers and they persevere DANIELLE SKOWRON through. But it seems no one cares about the paper that we work so hard to put together.

Two weeks ago, I printed an article about a student who dropped out of school and moved back home because of how bad she was bullied here on CCC’s campus. I was disgusted by what had happened and even wrote an opinion article about it. I’m writing right now because I am confused. I wrote this horrific article about something bad that happened on our campus. I wrote about

What people are saying about Cayuga Community College

something that showed CCC in a bad light, and not once was I asked by staff, a student or administration about the girl who left CCC. I guess my question today is Is no one taking the time to read the paper that we work so hard on, or are we sweeping something bad that happened underneath the rug and ignoring that it ever happened? I sincerely hope that the answer is that you simply did not read my article and that you are not ignoring the situation. That girl’s life will be forever changed because of what happened on CCC’s campus. Bullying in no way shape or form should ever be tolerated on this campus. I hope you took the time to read through my article and will hear me out. Bullying can change someone’s life forever. I watched it destroy this girl’s happiness and she felt like she had no other option but to go home. Think before you say or do anything to anyone that might hurt them in anyway because hurting someone else does not make you a stronger person.

President Obama, Why didn't you visit the Harriet Tubman Museum?

As the excitement of hosting the President of the United States last August fades locally in Central New York, many are left asking how could President Obama pass up an opportunity to visit one of Auburn’s most significant and value place of history-The Harriet Tubman House?

Did the NICOLE LEMOINE President make a fauxpas? Congressman Dan Maffei formally invited the President to the site, so the hope that he would indeed make an appearance was a valid expectation.

The anticipated day arrived and the community watched as President Obama made his way down Route 5 and into Auburn.

Locals lined the streets waiting to catch a glimpse or a Presidential wave, hoping to be a part of this memorable event. The folks at the Harriet Tubman home waited with patient optimism that the President would in fact make a visit to Harriet’s home. They were hopeful that the first African –American U.S. President would surely visit the home so closely associated with the history of the Underground Railroad and the site of a proposed National Park.

The fact that he did not stop to visit the site, despite being just a mile away, initially left people in a state of disbelief and disappointment. Many believe he should have made the time since his stay closely preceded such significant approaching anniversaries such as the Tubman Centennial, the 150th

anniversary of Emancipation Proclamation, and the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

While the folks who work to keep Harriet’s legacy alive say they were left disappointed, they do understand that no promises had been made. They say they are also well aware of possible scheduling conflicts and very valid security issues that may have caused him to pass up a visit to this important piece of Auburn’s history.

They say they were let down, but not at all discouraged. After the excitement of his visit faded, they say they immediately got back to work on the Harriet Tubman Centennial Symposium which will be held on November 8th and 9th at Cayuga Community College’s Auburn campus. Students can go online to Cayuga Community College’s homepage and register for the event.

On November 7th, there will also be a FREE performance of “A Change Gon’ Come’”, which is a multi-media production of Harriet Tubman’s extraordinary life in slavery and beyond. There will also be a traveling exhibit from the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum which will be free to the general public and on display throughout the symposium. Be sure to take part in this event and witness the true history and legacy of Harriet Tubman. People may never know the real reasons why President Obama passed up the opportunity to visit this vital piece of history, but the community as a whole can make a difference by supporting a local treasure and a heroine whose bravery touched and will continue to touch many lives. Be sure to register today!

Harriet Tubman: Heroism, History and Hope A special symposium to commemorate the centennial of Harriet Tubman’s death will be held at Cayuga Community College, November 8th & 9th

by Nicole Lemoine, Staff Writer The next time you walk to class along streets in Auburn, you may be following the footsteps of one of Auburn’s bravest citizens. Auburn was once home to a true heroine, a woman who sought justice and freedom while risking her own life to stoutly defend and protect others. Harriet Tubman, born Araminta Harriet Ross in 1820, was a remarkable Christian woman whose humanitarian efforts spanned decades and facilitated the freedom of more than 300 slaves.

There is a group of devoted and dedicated individuals who work every day to promote learning about Tubman’s legacy. It’s called The Harriet Tubman Boosters Club. Their latest project is bringing an important, two-day symposium marking the centennial of Tubman’s death, to Cayuga Community College’s Auburn campus, November 8th and 9th.

Planning committee co-chair, Rose Marie Romano of Auburn, says the goal of the event is to bring Harriet Tubman to life for students.

“I hope that they will begin to see beyond the two-dimensional icon created by stories, myths and children’s books that are often exaggerated and told her story inaccurately, to find the complex, extraordinary, but very human woman that Harriet Tubman was,” Romano said. She says she hopes students will be inspired by Harriet’s many instances

of courage, compassion and self-sacrifice so that they might be brave enough to emulate Harriet’s heroism and do something of great importance in their own lives.

“The more I learn about her the more impressed I am by her persistence in the face of unimaginable adversity. Remembering what she endured and achieved helps me to put my own challenges and fears into perspective. She is a great role model for all of us,” said Romano. She says students who attend the symposium will be learning about the rich history of the community and the nation, as well. She hopes students will come away from the event with a better understanding of how the past leads to many of the problems and challenges that present themselves in today’s society.

The organizers of the event her heroic heritage needs to be respected, revered, and upheld by the community that she once called home so that her bravery will continue to be shared for generations to come. They feel her courage in the face of great and dangerous adversity is an inspiration for the future.

Still no confidence? Now what? Damaged Lattimore Hall is still a work in progress

by James Granger, Staff Writer

Earlier this year, President Daniel Larson along with Vice President of Administration and Finance Diane Hutchinson both received a vote of ‘no confidence’ from the Faculty Association. The letter was publicly released and listed several reasons for the vote of ‘no confidence’.

Recent projects undertaken by the college administration, layoffs of staff and furlough days for faculty have added to the tension between President Larson and the Faculty Association. The Faculty Association is one of the four unions the college deals with. The Association represents many of the faculty and teaching staff.

With the retirement of President Larson scheduled in November, Faculty Association President, Eric Zizza, was asked about the association’s position regarding Diane Hutchinson and her future at the college.

Zizza stated, “On May 10, 2013 the Faculty Association presented a letter to the Cayuga Community College Board of Trustees expressing a vote of no confidence in Diane Hutchinson, and that letter has not been retracted and still stands.” Zizza went on to state, “With a new interim president being hired in the next few months, as Faculty Association President, I would like to look to the future to work constructively with whomever the college hires for the interim position.”

One of the current candidates for interim president, retired Jamestown Community College President Gregory DeCinque,

recently visited and toured the college and its facilities.

Dr. DeCinque met with students, staff and other college employees.

F a c u l t y Association President Zizza says he did attend a meet and greet Dr. Gregory forum for Dr. DeCinque DeCinque and sounded optimistic about what the candidate had to say. Zizza said lastly, “Dr. DeCinque faced many of the same challenges at Jamestown Community College that this college faces. He was able to fix many of these same problems, such as drops in enrollment and a low reserve fund for JCC. He seems to be strategic thinker.”

When the college does hire interim president, Faculty Association President Zizza said there would be a formal meeting to start to discuss some of the challenges and opportunities the college will face in the future. The other three unions will also meet with the interim president at some point when a candidate is hired. The immediate and possible long term future of the college will be partly shaped by whomever is chosen as interim president of the college and the four unions representing college employees

College graduates still need skills

by James Granger, Staff Writer With unemployment near eight percent and the economy in a weak recovery, certain skills or an academic degree are needed more than ever say many economists. Many community colleges are seeing record enrollment with people looking to develop those job skills or retrain to move from working in one career to start a whole new career.

Many students here at Cayuga Community College are just starting school after graduating from high school. Mike Rowe, host of the former Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs, stated on a recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher said the heavy equipment company, Caterpillar, was unable to find enough technicians to repair heavy machinery. The starting salary for some of these jobs is 50,000 dollars.

With the importance of having the right jobs skills and resume, Amy Valente, Professor of Business and Phi Beta Lambda Business Club Advisor was asked how students in today’s job market can start to build a solid resume and needed job skills. Professor Valente gave three important points that she believes can help students.

1. Gain some actual job experience while in school by doing an internship. You will work for one semester to gain job experience while at the same time gaining three credits. This is a great way to try out a particular job while at the

same time learning on the job. Talk to your advisor about the next steps to do an internship.

2. Learn how to be a confident professional.

Join a club such as Phi Beta Lambda Business Club to learn important skills, like how to communicate effectively, how to run a successful fundraiser, how to collaborate with teams, how to network with others, how to dress professionally and more.

3. Take advantage of services offered at your college to help you explore your interests and learn more about ways to stand out in a crowd. Here at CCC, our Career Services department provides services including career exploration, resume critiques, workshops on Dress for Success and Business Etiquette and more.

Professor Valente’s said her final piece of advice was, “I hope you take advantage of some of these tips to help you gain the necessary workplace skills.”

With the job market becoming more competitive and in need of special skills students have the opportunity to take advantage the many services offered to help start their professional skills. One opportunity will be an upcoming internship fair scheduled for some time in November.

Are students’ rights ignored?

CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE fill the vacant positions of treasurer and student trustee. Winkler says the election process went smoothly for the treasurer position, but not the trustee position.

“I emailed all the administration about the new officers we had, the president (Larson), his secretary and his staff, Jeff Rosenthal (the past FSA president), that is when the president’s secretary came into the office and told me the administration appointed a student trustee,” said Winkler.

According to SGO Bylaws: In the case that the vacancy lies within the position of the student trustee of SGO, there shall be a nomination and election of a member from the entire Auburn/Fulton student body. (article 2, section 6, point 3) The student trustee is supposed to sit in on board meetings. They represent the student body. Is it fair for the administration to

SIX

appoint a student to represent us as a whole?

Winkler says the administration never told him about the student they appointed.

“This person has never contacted me about reporting as the trustee, and that is unacceptable in my opinion,” said Winkler.

Winkler says the student trustee is supposed to follow certain rules to remain as a trustee. They are to have three hours of office time a week. Once a month, they are to do those office hours on the opposite campus from which they attend classes. They are to attend every Board of Trustees meeting, Senate meeting, and SGO meeting. The student that the administration appointed, Anthony Faiola, has stepped down from his appointed position of student trustee. Both student bodies have agreed and elected Max Appleby as the student trustee.

Workers are still in the process of gutting the water damaged suites; may take at least six months VP Rosenthal says plans to build an on-campus dorm are on hold for now

by Kelsey McLean, Staff Writer The prognosis of Lattimore Hall’s recovery isn’t terrible, but it’s not great either. The diagnosis? Six months at the earliest, if not more, but not never. It could be a long wait for the students displaced from the Hall, but it won’t be forever.

For those who need a refresher on the events, or perhaps those who have heard the rumors and want to discern truth from lies, here’s the whole story on what happened at Lattimore Hall, from a firsthand source-- Jeff Rosenthal, Vice President of Student Affairs and head of the Lattimore displacement project. A still undisclosed student dorming at the hall was attempting to fry something in the communal kitchen on the fifth floor and, unwisely, left it attended. Someone else had discovered the fire and tried to call the student over, at which the grease had reached flash point and burst into flames.

The sprinklers had turned on immediately and had quashed the fire but couldn’t turn themselves off or be turned off manually, which left the fifth floor in a torrential downpour for nearly two hours before the fire department arrived. By the time they did, the fifth floor was drenched in two feet of water, which had trickled down to seep into nearly everystructure downstairs, a breeding ground for fungus. “The environmental biologist we had on hand told us it was already infected with spores,” Rosenthal said, recalling the

event. “It needed to be completely gutted.”

Indeed, Lattimore Hall has and is still in the process of being ‘gutted’. While some areas of the dorm are livable, most are either destroyed or lethally hazardous. Fortunately most of the residents have been successfully displaced in nearby areas, though two still remain in Wells College, a stunning 30 miles from the campus. Still, it appears that the case on Lattimore can finally be closed... though a few questions still remain. It is still unconfirmed whether or not the smoke alarm had successfully sounded during the incident, nor what will be done about the sprinkler system in the future. Anyone that can confirm these questions are welcome to write in and fill in the missing gaps of this mystery.

And as for another dorm? Rosenthal says “In the long term? Absolutely. But in the immediate future? No, not right now.” While the college currently lacks the funds to build another dorm without some serious cuts to the staff, he relates, students often desire a residential experience and often opt over other colleges for the experience. So though it’s not in the cards right now, students and staff should definitely expect plans for another dorm in the coming years.

Hopefully after Lattimore is rebuilt, that is!

CCC Men’s Soccer advance in tournament to play Genesee

by Nick Czerow, Sports Editor

Congrats to All-MSAC Team Congrats to the following members of the men’s soccer team who were recently recognized by the Mid-State Athletic Conference on the All-Conference Team for 2013. They are: Jason Boxx, Tautis Poniskaitis, Sean Wynn and Matthew Spencer.

The Spartans of Cayuga Community College have advanced to the next round of the NJCAA Region III Division III tournament.

The sixth seeded Spartans defeated the third seeded Broncos from SUNY-Delhi in thrilling fashion. The game was decided by a late goal in the final ten minutes from Ryan Killian.

Cayuga was off to a slow start going down 1-nil in the game; but Sean Wynn and Killian pushed the score to 2-1 Spartans.

The weather also played a factor in Saturday afternoon’s match-up. Freshman Goalkeeper Tautis Poniskaitis commented that it was probably the “windiest game I’ve ever played in! It was very difficult to judge high balls and play long passes.” Poniskaitis also mentioned that team is ready for the next match. “After today confidence is so high and everyone is up for the game on Tuesday and just can’t wait for it!”

Come Tuesday October 29th the Spartans

CCC Men’s Soccer Team 2013 will be on the road against the second ranked Cougars of Genesee Community College.

Genesee beat CCC earlier on in the regular season in convincing fashion 4-1. But this time “We’ll know what to expect from them this time,” said Poniskaitis. If Cayuga can get off to a quicker spot and become a presence in the opposite field than things look good for the Spartans. So come out and show your support for the Spartans on Tuesday.

My Experience at College Music Journal Marathon

by Eric Nans, Staff Writer “CMJ Music Marathon, 33 years running, is one of the world’s most important platforms for the discovery of new music. Throughout one vital week every October, CMJ features over 1,400 live performances in more than 80 of New York City’s greatest nightclubs and theaters.

120,000 artists, music fans, and industry insiders descend on the city for exclusive parties, over 100 cutting edge conference events featuring industry insiders, an Entertainment Business Law Seminar and College Day, a mixer designed especially for college and non-commercial radio programmers.

All attendees have full access to every aspect of the festival, the world’s largest for emerging music, throughout storied locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn.” Quoted right from http://www.cmj.com/marathon/info International college radio awards are also held at the CMJ Marathon, This year WDWN was nominated for most creative in the college radio awards held at the CMJ Marathon.

Jeffrey Szczesniak Winning the title of the Station Adviser of Year 2012, was asked this year to lead a panel of Radio Industry professionals in the subject of Autonomy Authenticity Defining Independence for College Radio at this years CMJ Marathon 2013. His panel went over quite well, Jeffrey being modest said “I didn’t feel it was that big of a deal.” although it was very important, they had people more people

lining up for questions then I had seen at any panel I visited all week. Instead of paying 299 + fees (599, non student) I opted into intern/ volunteer for the festival and was lucky enough to be chosen. The thrill of diversity was amazing meeting people from all over the globe I myself met people from Belgium, Australia, New Hampshire, Utah, Ohio, France, Taiwan. The first day of the festival I worked my first volunteering shift loading gift bags, then was assigned to information which worked well for me, in the aspect I was able to study the festival. I was off around 2 pm and made my way a few blocks to the college radio mixer which was an open bar, filled with all kinds of people from various college radio stations. With no direct plans for the evening, I over heard my new friends from UTI Dallas that planned on going to the Co-sign record promoter showcase, I heard something about a list and how they RSVP’d in advance +1 so I asked if I could follow them. After making through the subway system we ended up on the front steps of the build the showcase was held, we made our way through the door people and rode the elevator to the penthouse. We entered the event, which was in an luxurious penthouse sweet, a DJ spinning tunes in doors, and a stage step up outside on the roof. It was there that I had met up with Jeff Szczesniak as he was mingling with the crowds. Jeff is quite popular among the active industry members working that event, there was even a past CCC

Collegian writer and Telcom student Eric Nans (right) with WDWN Radio Faculty Advisor Jeffrey Szczesniak at the College Music Journal Marathon in New York City.

WDWN Radio Faculty Advisor Jeffrey Szczesniak (far left) participating in a panel discussion at the Annual College Music Journal Marathon. student that recognized Jeffrey named Nick he now attends SUNY Oneonta. I networked with the people around Jeffrey, then after enjoying a few performances by artist in Cosigns repertoire, I left and went to my room to refresh, after I took a breather I felt like seeing more performances so I left my room and navigated to The Websterhall Studio, where I was lucky enough to see; Computer Magic, Cherb, The Bad Suns. The next day I did not have to report to volunteer till 6 pm so I made my way to some of the conferences featured like for example: Jam packed which was about throwing music festivals, and had top names in the business one of the panel members was the producer of Governer’s Ball that is another major music festival in NYC. There was another panel I attend about BIG Brother Data Collection, that I found intriguing from what I could decipher everyone should really pay attention to what they have posted, and should do a hard check up on your self. Another thing I learned from that is as an artist it would be wise to keep track of your fans, and have their contact info for news letters, it give more of a community feel we all like. After the panels I then I arrived for my next volunteering shift, were I worked club patrol my duty was to navigate to a specific club (in this case the Westway), then count the number of people that attend with CMJ badges, Four bands played inside but I mostly stayed at the door with the two bouncers asking them questions about their profession it did not seem like a very glamorous job but it seemed like it would have it’s perks. I left around 11 pm after meeting with my CMJ contact and giving her the number of badges. Next I attended an ASAP Mob event at Webster Music Hall, saw School boy Q preform along with John Rey Cash, here is where I met up with a group of friends from Syracuse University. After a while I made my way back to my room at The Bowery House. Relaxed for a while in

the lounge on the roof before going to bed.

Last day I worked on the production team, were my job was to greet people walking into Roswell 10th floor pavilion at the Kimmel Center, this is were Jeff Szczesniak ‘s panel was, and the voting for the CMJ 2013 awards, Cayuga Community College did not win this years award for the most creative award.

Although I believe I speak for us all when I say it’s an honor just to be nominated because this was international recognition regardless, two years running at that! I did not make it to as many shows and panels as I wanted to there was far too many, but It’s highly encouraged that anyone that has the chance to experience a CMJ marathon do so it’s very enjoyable, just know your legs might be a little sore the next week!

The ship anchored itself to shore this weekend after two weekends of scaring people to collect food for the needy.

Pirates for the Pantry, started by Rick Martinez, had its annual haunted pirate ship to collect food for the Calvary Food Pantry.

WITH ERIC NANS

Kid N0va

The local artist of the week is known as Kid N0va rap/mc alias, producer alias is Moniker.

When I asked him what sounds I would hear in his music he replied “The instrumentation all depends on the song because it ranges anywhere from heavy synths/electro tones and 808’s/ old 80-90’s kick drums to Persian Kid N0va string instruments with Coltrane sax samples layed over. I make some of my own beats, but my “brother”/ main in-house producer is a Demi-god. Anybody reading this probably saw him moseying around CCC last year. I always reference my line “the range is insane” when I’m asked similar questions.

Simple but it explains a lot of what I portray.” after I asked him what his genre was he said “The genre of my music falls under Smacked Mus.I.C. I guess it’s kind of cliche to say but I don’t like to categorize myself solely under the hip hop title, although hip hop/ rap is most definitely the foundation of my work.” Then I asked who do you sound like he replied “I Can’t stand saying I sound like anyone else, what’s the point of artistry if it’s imitation and not origination? I can say that I draw inspiration from many, though.

Example...My music is the sound of a soulful rebel before anything else. When Ferris took the Ferrari I swore I heard my mixtape playing in the movie. I don’t want to sound like I’m some hard core rebel, though. I just like to go against the grain as well as take a proper gander at the Propoganda.” Next I was curious to what the Kid’s message was so I asked and he rebutted with “ What I make represents a slu of things. Again, it’s all dependent upon which song. I feel as though, when I listen to myself, I could close my eyes and wind up in a Taco Bell sitting at a table with Malcolm X, Lennon, The catcher in the rye kid, Jay-Z, Maya Angelou, James Dean and Tinker Hatfield as a way to help me get over my distaste of speaking to people I don’t know. We’d be discussing a takeover of the mars one project using the force of deep speech to revolutionize mars and it’s inhabitants while wearing stylish Nike brand space boots.” Kid NOva has not preformed at many shows, although the Kid stated “Once a nice lady said “I have a stage presence similar to J-Hov” no one has every said I sound like anyone else. For real, you can search my music online and look at the comments. Anyone who comments says they’ve never heard a rapper

like me or something else that’s completely irrelevant. My homies say they wouldn’t expect the music I make coming from me.

Which is weird.” Kid NOva’s only current full project is an EP from about two years ago when Kid NOva first hopped behind the mic.

It’s called “Too Smacked For Class”. Other than that there is a ton of singles out that are more recent. There is music In the works soon there should be another EP and/or mixtape dropping called “Life’s A Beach” Look out for that. Then I asked him who he has played with and he responded “I’ve had opportunities to jam with so many amazing people, small time and big names. My best experiences were with the dudes from my collective “Smacked Records”. I’d suggest you come watch if you ever hear that we’re putting on a show. It gets wild by the time my shirt comes off and I’m in the crowd. Also Ave Mack, Money Mars and Ernest Verb are all marvelous artists that I’ve had the opportunity to hop in the booth with, I look up to all three if those guys. I’d give anything to live those times again. Some family friends from my hometown granted me the chance to open for Mac Miller and GZA, but those weren’t as fun.” When I asked about his creative process he kept it pretty simple telling me “Ummmm....Living life.”

His advice to inspiring artist is to “Take every opportunity that’s handed to you and take every one that’s not. They’re all worth it. Don’t ever forget why your creating either, whether it be a hobby, for the love of music or the love of money. You should never forget where you started. Also, if you ever get a chance to sign an autograph, dolliwhop the paper and hand it back.”
