Pete Dominick to
perform comedy act at
Francis Hall Cafe
Wednesday, Oct. 18, at 9 p.m.
Pete Dominick will entertain
students at Francis Cafe. After
graduating from SUNY /
Cobleskill in upstate New York,
Pete trained at The American
Musical and Dramatic Academy
in New York City for two years.
While at AMDA, Pete moonlighted as a stand-up comic and
a personal trainer. His hilarious material parodying
the world of fitness and exercise - including love and
romance at the gym, the perils of the steam room
and aerobics as self-defense are some of the results
of his experiences. Pete’s quick wit, instant likeability
and unique way of engaging any audience have made
him one of the most sought after M.C.’s at many of
the most popular New York City Comedy Clubs.
Over the past four years Pete has visited
almost every state touring colleges. “I love performing at colleges and meeting new people. The students are always grateful and love to laugh.” Last
summer one of Pete’s dreams came true when he
got to work with Jon Stewart as the audience warm
up comic on The Daily Show. It went so well that
Stewart and his production company offered him
the same job on their new hit show “The Colbert
Report.” Become Pete’s friend on My Space or visit

Wear a ribbon. Make a donation. Take a cause
worth fighting for and create an organization of others
who want to do the same. That's exactly what students
and faculty at St. Bonaventure University are doing to
fight cancer in a big way.
These leaders are organizing a Colleges Against
Cancer chapter for the University. Colleges Against
Cancer is designed to help eliminate cancer by supporting the initiatives of the American Cancer Society on college campuses, according to the American Cancer Society
Web site. The organization is applying for official club
status with the Student Government Association to be
University-recognized.
“The purpose of the organization is to promote
and educate the student body about cancer prevention,”
said senior Anna Bulszewicz, Colleges Against Cancer
president. “It will benefit everyone.” Serving as faculty
advisor is Pauline Hoffmann, assistant professor of the
Russell J. Jandoli School of Journalism and Mass
Communication.
St. Bonaventure University will be joining more
than 115 chapters across the country in establishing
advocacy, increasing awareness and prevention, promoting support groups for caretakers and survivors, and
raising money for the American Cancer Society. This
chapter plans to raise money for cancer research, education, advocacy and patient and family services, said St.
Bonaventure University graduate Tami Gabri, director of
special events for “Relay For Life” for the Amherst, N.Y.,
branch of the American Cancer Society.
“Our hope is that the college community will be
more aware of cancer causing behaviors as well as how a
healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of developing cancer,” said Gabri.
The St. Bonaventure University chapter represents the American Cancer Society's goal for 2015 of
reducing cancer incidence rates by 25 percent and cancer

mortality rates by 50 percent, and dramatically increasing the quality of life for cancer survivors, said Gabri.
Upcoming events planned for the 2006-2007
academic year include “The Great American Smokeout,”
sun safety, a breast cancer awareness program, and
“Relay For Life.”
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Colleges Against Cancer plans to have a table from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 12 and
13, in the Reilly Center Arena lobby to sell baked goods
and ribbons. The organization also will distribute handouts to help educate the importance of leading a healthy
lifestyle. All proceeds raised from this event will go to the
American Cancer Society.
Last semester, SBU hosted “Relay For Life.”
Teams of students, faculty and staff ran or walked laps in
the Reilly Center Arena to raise money for cancer
research and programs. The sponsored teams keep at
least one member on the track at all times during the allnight event. Music, refreshments and supporters keep
the teams going. Relay for Life is fairly new to this campus but has Cancer Society, “Relay For Life” represents
the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten,
that those who face cancer will be supported and that
one day cancer will be eliminated. Those involved from
SBU raised over $15,000 for the American Cancer
Society. Colleges Against Cancer plans to host the event
in March of 2007 with the theme “Be The Cure.”
Smokers mark your calendars. Kick the habit
on Nov. 16 with the help of the 30th annual “Great
American Smokeout.” Give up smoking for the day, or
maybe even for life. The organization plans on handing
out patches and other products to help smokers quit.
