SUNY STUDENT LEADERS WORK TO
RESOLVE CRUCIAL PROBLEMS
Oneonta – The leaders of the Student Assembly of the State University of
New York (SUNY) met September 21 in Oneonta, NY for their second Executive Committee meeting of the 2010-2011 academic school year. Much
words and ideas were exchanged at this monthly conference, including
their new student reform campaign.
“I am so proud of the Student Assembly,” said Julie Gondar, president of
the SUNY Student Assembly and voting member of the SUNY Board of
Trustees. “We have been hard at work crafting our new student reform
campaign and I can’t wait to share it with the public.”
The leaders of the Student Assembly have witnessed first-hand the shortcomings that SUNY students have been presented with and instead of
dwelling, they decided to take these deficiencies into their own hands and
design a student driven reform campaign of their own.
“We the students know that change needs to happen. We need and deserve
a comprehensive legislative reform because our tuition has increased irrationally for years and its evident we need to improve these setbacks,” said
Gondar. “And best of all, our reform will help SUNY students predict the
cost of future tuition.”
“This reform will be introduced in the coming months,” said Kyle Hill,
Director of Governmental Relations. “It will include rational tuition and
a couple of other articles that the majority of students and administration
favors.”
Also on the Student Assembly agenda was the recent dilemmas facing the
SUNY institution. These problems being the stipends granted to three top
officials in the SUNY administration ranging from $3,250 to $5,000 and
tuition hikes in community colleges.
“We understand that in order for SUNY to stay competitive and accessible
we must have the best administration but it’s not like this money for these
stipends are coming from some extra bank account that was laying around.
These stipends may take away financial aid, some jobs and even some
classes,” said Gondar. “But the Student Assembly is staying positive and
looking on the bright side of things. We agree that the raises are necessary
because if we want to remain such a great institution, we must have the best
running our schools. However, we don’t agree with these political implications of the stipends in a time like this.”
The SUNY Student Assembly also discussed the tuition hikes in community colleges and their disappoint is clearly universal. With a 3.2 increase in
tuition, community colleges are going to be facing difficult dilemmas in the
coming future.
“We are worried that tuition for community colleges will reach a level
where tuition exceeds financial aid,” said Gondar.
“Community colleges are the backbone to the SUNY system,” said Julie
Gorman, Director of Community College Affairs. “They offer so much to
students and don’t receive enough credit and recognition but rather hikes
and problems.”
Pawprint Sprint fundraiser for
the Heart of the Catskills
Humane Society
coming October 23, 2010
The event will be students walking around the outdoor track
in an effort to raise money and awareness for homeless animals at the local shelter. Each team will have a mascot
(a dog or cat from the humane society) for whom they will
be responsible during the event (walking the dog, curbing the
dogs, etc.)
There will be a number of activities going on during the event
including vendor stations, scavenger hunt, gerbil racing and
much more. The event itself will be held on the outdoor track
(in the event of inclement weather, we will use the Bubble at
the top of campus and animals will not be permitted.)
We need your help with committees to aid in the organization of the event so that it can be successful. We need small
groups of individuals who would be willing to work on a particular task such as finances, set-up/clean-up, activities, decoration, publicity and food services.

The SUNY Students Assembly plans on hosting their Fall 2010 Conference
from October 29th- 31st at SUNY Binghamton. All SUNY student leaders
were invited and there is expected to be a very big turn out.

A Note From The President
Candace S. Vancko, President
Ok, maybe I’m a little bit obsessive. I’m willing to admit that. But, even
a non-obsessive person would probably agree with me that littering in the
Village of Delhi has gone too far. I walk my dog, Scarlett, almost every
day along Main Street and Elm and I always carry two bags—one for Scarlett’s “business” and one for all the litter I encounter. Most days Scarlett’s
“business” bag is empty and the litter bag is overflowing. Why do I pick
up litter? A. I’m obsessive (we already agreed on that), B. I love our
beautiful area and want it to stay looking pristine, C. I’m embarrassed
that students would be so insensitive and boorish. Correct answer? All
three.
Ok, it’s not just students who litter. I’m willing to admit that. I walk Scarlett year-round and I pick up some litter during times when students aren’t
in Delhi (recently I witnessed a very scary man rip open a Price Chopper
package with his teeth, devour the contents, and drop all the remnants on
the sidewalk). I’m sorry to report, however, that as soon as students return
to campus, the litter quotient rises dramatically. Most of the litter con-
sists of McDonald’s wrapping/bags,
styrofoam containers, and beer cans
(though there has been a run on Vitamin water bottles and iced tea cans).
I have found more interesting things
(drugs, condoms, used tissues—no
wonder my husband suggested I wear
gloves!) including $50.25 (two twenties, two fives and a quarter).
Ok, so please don’t litter. And if you
see litter, please pick it up and dispose
of it properly. And to the guys on the corner of Main and Elm Streets—
thanks for helping me pick up litter and, even more, for keeping your yard
free of beers cans. It’s good for Mother Earth and brings credit to SUNY
Delhi. Yeah!

 Failure to meet General Education Requirements: Please note that if you have “double dipped”, it will say that
the General Education Area is “NOT MET”. However, if all the General Education Groups have notations of
“YES” next to them, then the General Education Requirements are considered satisfied.
 Liberal Arts majors – your elective group may say it is “MET”-however- to make sure that you have completed
the appropriate number, please check the Area/Major to see if the number of credits has, indeed, been “MET”.
 Every Group appears to be “MET” but you do not have a GPA of 2.0. You must have a cumulative GPA of
2.00 to graduate.

Retro Retrospective: Jade Empire
Being a fan of video games can be difficult. With all of the different systems,
cutting edge peripherals and the hundreds, upon hundreds of individual
games that are released every year, you will never have enough money or
time to play everything. Thankfully, I’ve come to the rescue! In this months
edition of 8-Bit RD, I’ve decided that it would be a good idea to take a look
back at a game they may have been missed by many of you. Those who are
fans of Microsoft and the Xbox have become familiar with a few game development companies. One of those companies needs no introduction. Bioware Corp. is a Canadian based game company that has taken the gaming
world by storm. Releasing extremely popular games like the Mass Effect
and Dragon Age series, as well as the blockbuster title, Star Wars: Knights
of the Old Republic, Bioware is known for making action-packed games
with compelling narratives.
One game that may have flown under the radar of many gamers is called Jade Empire. Jade Empire, a game
that was released exclusively for the original Xbox back in 2005 by Bioware has received a lot of mixed
reviews due to how different the gameplay was compared to Star Wars: KOTOR. The story begins in the
mythical and fictitious land of the Jade Empire, a country that shares many similarities with Ancient China,
that is plagued by war and poverty. As the main character, players embark upon a journey that will take them
across the empire and into the heart of battle where the player has control over his or her decisions. This is a
staple of any action role-playing game (RPG) released by Bioware.
The entire story hinges upon the player and it is up to them to decide how the story unfolds. Think of this
game as a Choose Your Own Adventure book that many of us read as children but instead of turning to page
34 to “punch the man in the face for being rude”, you press a button. These decisions then impact the morality scale connected with your character. If you decide to be an honorable warrior, you can choose the option
that would be more in line with a righteous decision. If you want to play the role of the unabashed, silvertongued rogue ala a Han Solo-like character, you may decide that killing the person blocking your path is the
way to go. The choice is yours but remember, your actions impact the relationships you have with your allies
and the world of JE. If you are a known scoundrel, don’t expect the townsfolk to be very friendly towards
you.
Besides the story, the other aspect of any Bioware game must contain user-friendly battle system
in which to engage the enemy. In JE, players use what is known as the Harmonic Combo system.
This system allows players to battle enemies in real time in a closed-quarters atmosphere where
your character can move freely, attack and dodge incoming attacks at will. The attack system
mainly uses two buttons, one for short, quick but weaker attacks and the other for stronger but
slower, charged attacks. As the player progresses through the game, he earns experience in battle
and by performing special tasks to help level up the character. These upgrades help to open up
new abilities and stronger forms of the combo system. I must admit, while the battle system is
very good for keeping players in tune with the story and holding that atmospheric, ancient Chinese martial artistry…is does become rather boring and repetitive as you progress through the
game.
Another interesting part of JE is the top-down airplane shooter minigame. One of the main
themes of JE is that all though you are reminded of ancient China. The world of JE takes place
where magic, gods, monsters and technology are common in this seemingly underdeveloped nation. So, as you progress through the game, your
character and his allies will “borrow” a flying machine to help get your to your next area or plot point. It is at this point that you can choose to either
bypass the minigame or play it to earn valuable experience points. The minigame is reminiscent of old school shooter games like Galaga or 1942.
Overall, Jade Empire was a fantastic game but lacks in certain elements when compared to
the other blockbuster titles from Bioware. If you are a fan of Biowares games or if you are
in the mood for a game that will take you on a journey without having to devote 20+ hours
of your time to complete it, JE is your game. It is available for download on the Xbox Live
Marketplace or if you are lucky enough to find it, in a “mom and pop” video game store
near you. JE is one of those rare games that is backwards-compatible with the Xbox 360
system. So take a break from your hours and hours of Halo and Call of Duty and enjoy a
good story. Remember, there are other games out there besides FPS’s.
“The Munsters Marathon”
Hallmark Channel Premiere
Sunday, October 31 (8a.m. – 6p.m.)
Butch Patrick may be 57 years old now, but he’ll always be Eddie Munster, the only son of Herman and
Lily Munster on the mid-1960s television classic “The Munsters.” Like “The Addams Family,” the comedy
about a family of loveable but misunderstood monsters ran in network prime time for a mere two seasons
(1964 to ‘66) but wound up producing 72 episodes of memorable laughs. Stars Fred Gwynne (Herman),
Yvonne De Carlo (Lily and Al Lewis (Grandpa) are all gone now, leaving Patrick as something of an unofficial steward and guardian of the “Munsters” legacy. He defends its sanctity and greatness wherever fans of
the series gather to “Munster-ize.” And on Halloween, the show will again take center stage with a day-long
(10-hour, 20-episode) marathon on the Hallmark Channel. For one magical morning and afternoon, Patrick
will again be a pre-teen monster boy with pointy ears, impossibly bushy eyebrows and hair that covers half
his forehead in a “V.” OCTOBER 2010

Community Service Day Does “IT” Again!
Amanda Sterling
As most of the campus is aware, community service is an important fixture
here at SUNY Delhi. Every
year, our students receive
scholarships for their duty
towards the community, and
our college receives awards
because we are so devoted to
helping others. Recently, we
have won the True Hero competition because of the work
we did last year for the Hope
for Haiti fundraiser for which
we received a $2,000 grant
for the O’Connor Center for Community Engagement. Last year, SUNY
Delhi recorded over 20,000 hours of community service. We even have a
whole day committed just to community service. October 2nd marks this
year’s official community service day.
Some of the different groups were raking leaves in downtown Delhi, helping clean up the Countryside Care Center, and helping to clean the
American Legion after it flooded last Friday. Volunteer Amanda Jones said,
“I love community service, it feels great to help others. And here it’s so easy
to get involved because we have an office dedicated for it.” Community service day isn’t the only day that people get involved in the community here at
Delhi; there are community service events happening all the time. Anybody
can get involved by helping the elderly or being a mentor to a younger child
or practically any other way you want to help. For anybody who wants to
get involved in the local community, you can go to the O’Connor Center
for Community Engagement, which is located on the second floor of Farrell
Hall, behind the Student Activities Office.
Thanks to all the students who made this year’s Community service
day such a success and thanks to Bagels ‘n’ Cream for providing free breakfast to all the volunteers.
“In Their Shoes….”
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. And “domestic” violence isn’t just between married people. Consider the following statistics:
•
One in five, or 20 percent, of dating couples report some type of violence in their relationship.
•
One of five college females will experience some form of dating violence.
On Wednesday, October 6th, Counseling & Health Services, in collaboration with our local domestic violence agency sponsored a presentation of the
program “In Their Shoes.” Using actual scenarios of real victims, this interactive program provides participants the opportunity to experience what it’s
like to be a victim of domestic violence or stalking. Approximately 100 students took on the roles of “Ashley,” whose boyfriend forces sex on her and
she becomes pregnant; “Derek,” whose girlfriend is emotionally abusive and possessive; and “Elena,” whose boyfriend distributes topless pictures of
her to his friends; among others.
One of the most heart-breaking scenarios is of “Cara.” After Cara breaks off her relationship with “Brian” he kills her and then himself. Cara’s story
is inspired by the experiences of Dayna Fure, and at the end of the scenario participants were given a letter written by Dayna’s mother, Melody Hafner.
In the letter Mrs. Hafner says:
“My daughter Dayna was all about being positive and making changes to improve the lives of others. If just one life is saved by this effort, it
will be worth the time and money because Dayna’s legacy will have a chance to live on. Thank you for coming together today to talk, listen
and learn.”
After reading the letter, several student participants left messages of their own back to Mrs. Hafner:
“I am so sorry. It must still be hard to know that someone took your daughter’s life after falling in love with her.”
“I’ve seen people go through this and it’s never a good outcome. But to her family, be strong and have all hopes that other girls will see Cara’s
story and get out while they still can.”
So what can we do to help? Everyone can speak out about domestic and dating violence. We can donate to local, state and national anti-domestic violence programs or victims assistance programs. And we can teach others about healthy relationships.

We The Kings:
Named for hometown
Bradenton, Florida’s
King Middle School
where they first made
music together, We
The Kings has grown
into one of the most
engaging and exciting
acts on the pop-rock
circuit. The band’s selftitled debut album hit #1 on Billboard’s New Alternative Album sales
chart and spawned the Billboard-charting tracks “Secret Valentine” and
“Check Yes Juliet,” which is nearing Platinum status. We The Kings has
sold over 2 million tracks and had over 56 million plays on MySpace, 15
million YouTube video plays (including the #1 most played music video),
and three of MTV.com’s most requested videos. Additionally, iTunes has
featured “Check Yes Juliet” as its single of the week.
The band’s music has been licensed for the CW, MTV, Rock Band,
and more, and they were nominated for a 2008 mtvU College
Radio Woodie Award. Appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and
MTV’s TRL and Spring Break 2008 have further boosted the band’s
visibility. Constantly on the road, in 2009 they headlined their own tours
as well as the 2009 Vans Warped Tour.
Since Warped wrapped up, the band has been in the studio recording the
sophomore disc, produced by S*A*M & Sluggo (Gym Class Heroes,
Cobra Starship, Metro Station), which will be released December 8. The
infectious first single, “Heaven Can Wait,” is gaining nationwide airplay,
climbing the Billboard Singles chart, and has already reached the Top
10 on the Alternative Singles chart. It’s the band’s third Top 40 charting
single. J. Cole:
In an era saturated with upstart MCs all vying for the coveted status
of “next big thing,” the story of 24-year
old North Carolina native J. Cole (born
Jermaine Cole) is a refreshing exception
to the quick route for fame and success.
The first artist signed to Jay-Z’s new Roc
Nation label, Cole made himself notable
through a scholarly approach to the game –
no small feat considering his Magna Cum
Laude distinction upon graduating from St.
John’s University.
Taking from his favorite artists a love for
powerful storytelling with an intense innerstrength, J. Cole advanced to writing his
own lyrics at 15, soon amassing stacks of
notebooks filled with rhymes and observations. Without a DJ or producer
to provide a beat, he industriously started creating his own using a beat
machine given as a present by his mother. From then on J. Cole was
constantly creating new music and lyrics leading to his current and flow.
If his sudden christening by JAY-Z shocked the haters, their doubts were
quickly refuted when J. Cole dropped his recent mixtape The Warm Up,
as well as a coveted guest verse on JAY-Z’s Blueprint 3 with “A Star is
Born.” Soulful and strong, J. Cole’s lyrics touch on everything from his
upbringing in North Carolina to the poverty and hopelessness that affect
his community. The mixtape encapsulates not just who J. Cole is as a
rapper, but who he is as an artist and a person.
