Le Moyne Ruled Suicide Amari
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF NEWS & FEATURES EDITOR EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The person that was found in
the woods on the northeast corner
of Le Moyne College’s campus
Sunday morning has been ruled a
victim of suicide.
Originally investigators were
unable to identify the gender, age
or race of the victim; but after the
medical examiner inspected the
scene the DeWitt Police Department
stated the body belonged to a
woman in her late 50s.
A review of surveillance
footage done by police at a local gas
station confirmed that the victim
purchased a gas can, lighter and
gallon of fuel, all of which were
recovered at the scene. The victim
had a history of depression and
mental illness, according to DeWitt
Police.
The police stated the victim had
no connection to Le Moyne College,
but did live close to the campus.
Due to the circumstances, the name
of the victim will not be released.
Faculty and staff were notified
first of the incident on campus at
3:07 p.m. on Sunday afternoon
via the college’s email service.
Students were then notified at
4:49 p.m. Two Follow-up emails
with more details were later sent
to everyone on campus around 6
p.m. on Sunday night and 3 p.m. on
Monday afternoon.
A group of joggers discovered
the body Sunday around 11:30 a.m.
while running on the trails near
Thompson Road and Alden Avenue,
said Capt. John Anton of the DeWitt
Police Department according to an
article on syracuse.com.
Investigators arrived at the
area around 12:13 p.m., where
they discovered the body. The
“suspicious” death is believed to
have occurred between Saturday
night and Sunday morning. Anton
told syracuse.com the person may
have been set on fire.
In response to the incident on
Sunday, campus security brought
additional staff to campus to assist
DeWitt Police. Resident Advisors
and members of Campus Life and
Leadership also began immediately
conducted roster checks in oncampus residence halls.
President
Linda
LeMura
released a statement to The Dolphin
saying she was terribly saddened
by the news campus received today.
"Campus Security worked
closely with the investigation by
the DeWitt Police Department and
will continue to do so,” said LeMura.
“While we believe there is no threat
to campus based upon the current
information, students should still
use best judgment and contact
Campus Security at (315)445-4444
should they have any concerns.
I join with all members of our
campus community in praying for
the person who lost their life in this
tragic incident."
Junior Steve Ferguson said he
was on his way to lunch on Sunday
with his parents around 1 p.m.
when he saw a group of police cars
near the woods.
“As we drove down Thompson
Road, we saw 10-12 Dewitt and NYS
police cars on the corner of Alden
and Thompson, a fire truck, and a
Le Moyne Campus Security officer
parked next to the National Grid
transformer. The edge of the woods
was taped off,” said Ferguson. “At
around 2:45, on my way back to
campus, I drove by again. When
I asked, none of the officers, nor
campus security would tell me
what was going on.”

Saturday evening, Le Moyne inducted
its newest Hall of Fame athletes. The Class
of 2013 was a diverse group of student
athletes with impressive records. The
newest inductees were Scott Cassity
’98 [baseball], Alison Lesher Migonis
’08 [women’s swimming], Brandon
Spillett ’05 [men’s lacrosse], and the
2003 Women’s Softball Team. Marnie
Sundberg Schneider ’03 [women’s
softball], who was a Class of 2014 Hall
of Fame inductee, was also formally
inducted with with the class of 2015.
The 2015 inductees were each
introduced and offered an opportunity
to speak to the audience.
Marnie Schneider was the first
inductee introduced. She was a pitcher
on the 2003 Hall of Fame Softball team
and was inducted into the Hall of Fame

Moyne and played on the men’s lacrosse

reflected
on
her time at Le
Moyne as both
challenging and
rewarding.
“My coach and
my team were
everything to me,
they were like my
family, they got
me through some
of the hardest
times in my life, they gave me the
strength to persevere," said Schneider.
"Softball was my one love, the one thing
I could turn to and just give it my best to
achieve something.”
Marnie finished her college career as

Scott Cassity of Liverpool, NY is
currently the head coach of Le Moyne’s
wins, 3.44 earned run average, and
153 strikeouts. His completed games
were the second most in the program’s
history, and he was only the second
Dolphin to start in 29 games.
“At one point I was going to quit, and
I told my wife, ‘I think this is it, I think
it’s time to hang up the glove. It’s just not
fun anymore and I am not getting the job
done, everything I throw gets hit out of
the park’,” he said. “And she told me,
‘okay, just finish this season and we can
talk about it, just go out and have fun’,
so I finished off the season. At the end of
that season I got MVP. It was one of my
best seasons ever.”

My Life” is the greatest song of
all-time.
3.) Bringing It All Back Home:
Released before Highway 61,
Dylan was at a crossroads.
The first side featured
his first stab at raucous
blues, and it’s a doozy.
“Subterranean
Homesick
Blues” is the perfect
example, with Dylan going
after anything that made
him mad, like the wordsmith
he is. The backing band is
superb, particularly Bruce
Langhorne’s striking guitar
on “Love Minus Zero/No
Limit”, maybe Dylan’s best
love song. The second side
was Dylan unleashing four
of his most advanced acoustic
songs. “Mr. Tambourine Man”,
“Gates of Eden”, “It’s Alright Ma
[I’m Only Bleeding]”, and “It’s
All Over Now, Baby Blue” were
complex masterpieces, even
leaving his most assured fans
baffled. He abandoned the folk
world here, but it was quite a
way to go out.
4.) Mr. Tambourine Man:
The Byrds were the masters of
photo courtesy of stuckinthepast08.
blogspot.com
Dylan covers, as everyone was
trying them then. The debut reimagined tunes aren’t even the
highlight though. That would
be their version of Pete Seeger’s
“The Bells of Rhymney”, which
is a soaring epic of everything
the Byrds did right. Jangling
guitars and perfect harmony.
It’s also Gene Clark’s originals:
“You Won’t Have To Cry”,
“Here Without You”, and “It’s
No Use”. Pure pop wonders,
each one. His song “I’ll Feel
A Whole Lot Better” was one
of the best ones of that year,
possibly ever.
5.) My Generation: The
Who’s debut was influenced
by R&B classics and
fellow Brits, the Kinks. But
something set these boys
apart. There was an urgency
and energy that seemed new.
The title track, of course,
is a classic, demonstrating
what made The Who a
success. There are plenty of
genius covers of those R&B
hits they loved. However, the
real standout is “The Kids Are
Alright”, a Beatle-esque ballad
that shows a maturity unseen
anywhere else on the album.
Top 5 Must Watch TV Shows on Netflix
Sabrina Riley ‘17
STAFF WRITER
Thinking of a new TV show to
start for this school year? Well...
here are five shows that will
make you not want to do your
homework:
"The Office": Based on the
short-lived British comedy with
the same name, the American
version introduces us to some
of the most original characters.
This mockumentary captures
the daily lives of workers at the
Dunder Mifflin Paper Company
office in Scranton, PA. Like
the show, the characters are
admired because they are
“normal” people we can relate
to, just exaggerated in hilarious
extremes.
The
regional
manager Michael Scott [Steve
Carell], thinks he is the coolest,
most-laid back, best boss ever.
This of course means, he is the
most un-cool, most annoying,
and obnoxious boss, according
to his employees. The comedy
lies within the characters of
the show, as they live day
to day in the office with one
another. If you want something
entertaining to watch with
some awkward humor, go turn
on season one of "The Office".
"Orange is the New Black":
This is the show that you can
binge watch all three seasons
in three days. Piper Chapman
[Taylor Schilling] is in her early
30s with a decent job in finance,
when her past begins to catch
up with her. We learn that she
is sentenced to spend time in
a minimum-security prison
for her association with a drug
runner 10 years prior. This is
a Netflix original series based
on the book telling the story
of the real Piper Chapman.
She is forced to make her way
through the corrections system
and learn “how” to be an
inmate. During her time spent
in prison, she is reunited with
an ex-girlfriend [which ends up
being way more complicated
than you think], “makes
friends” with other inmates,
and is constantly adjusting to
life behind bars. From the three
seasons of "Orange is the New
Black", we learn about the past
lives of the inmates and how
they got to where they are now.
Season four will be out in the
summer of 2016, so if you want
a show with drama, romance,
students in order to produce
and sell the drugs from an RV.
Grab some popcorn and your
laptop to see how Walter White
takes on a new career in order
to support his family.
"One Tree Hill": For all
you hopeless romantics and
drama queens [or kings], you
will find yourself following
the lives of these teenage kids,
who grow up together over
the years through high school,
college, and adulthood. This is
basically a teen soap opera that
you can’t get enough of. Each
character has their own story,
whether it is about Nathan
and Lucas Scott who share a
last name and nothing else or
Peyton Sawyer, who is trying
to discover who she is. All the
characters of the show are
connected and throughout the
nine seasons, they all help each
other deal with relationships,
death, success, and failure.
"Mad Men": After you finish

Lady Gaga, "Till It
Happens To You"
Samantha McCormick ‘18
STAFF WRITER
Lady Gaga just released a new song
last week. I know what you’re thinking:
“Great, another pop song that will
be replayed on the radio for months,
followed by some weird, out-of-left field
music video with her in weird costumes.”
But this time it’s different.
Lady Gaga’s new song is called, “Till It
Happens To You”. It is a ballad co-written
by Lady Gaga and Diane Warren for the
2015 documentary film, The Hunting
Ground, which deals with campus rape
in America.
It is hard not to get emotional hearing
this song with lyrics such as, “Till it
happens to you, you don't know how it
feels, till it happens to you, you won't
know it won't be real.” This song helps
put words to the
emotions following
being
sexually
assaulted, and how
unless you have been
in that position where
your innocence has
been taken away, you
don’t know what it’s
like.
There was also a
music video released
with this single as well.
If you think the lyrics
are powerful, you
haven’t seen anything
yet. The black-andwhite music video
starts with a warning
message:
"The
following
contains
graphic content that
may be emotionally unsettling but
reflects the reality of what is happening
daily on college campuses."
The video portrays the different
settings in which being sexually
assaulted takes place: one young girl
being drugged and raped in a bedroom
at a party and another being raped in a
bathroom. It also shows the aftermath
of being assaulted and how these girls’
lives were changed. Near its ending, the
music video displays the message: "One
in five college women will be sexually
assaulted this year unless something
changes."
This is a very powerful message that
is wrapped up in this three minute
song and video. It raises awareness that
these things do happen, and they will
continue to happen unless people band
together to make a needed change. Take
this song’s messages as a warning; and
don’t wait till it happens to you to do
something about it.
One in five is one too many.

Parks and Recreation
Gabrielle Zumpano ‘16
STAFF WRITER
"Parks and Recreation" is an NBC
comedy tv series that recently ended last
February. The seventh and final season
of the show generated 4.57 million
views. The show is mockumentary style
much like “The Office”, which most of its
writers and producers also worked on.
The show illustrates the life of Leslie
Knope, a politician working in the local
parks and recreation office of her town,
played by Amy Poehler. Most of the
characters in the show work within city
hall, and for those who do not, they sure
do seem to spend a lot of time there.
“Parks and Rec” has lots of episodes,
some of them are lost in translation,
and or stand out for fans. Many people
were able to connect so deeply with the
characters because of their likeability.
Even minor characters, such as Little
Sebastian, Jean-Ralphio, and Tammy
Two, stand out in viewers’ eyes due to
their uniqueness. The show is based in
the town of Pawnee, Indiana and makes
a place like Middle America seem very
interesting. The show sheds light on
some social issues, such as obesity and
feminism, but in such a tasteful way that
you keep laughing
at the outlandish
characters.
The show really
gets going in the
third season when
Rob Lowe (Chris
Traeger) and Adam
Scott (Ben Wyatt)
become full time
cast
members.

introduced
the
world to some of
the funniest people

Rachel Chea '17
PHOTO EDITOR
Le Moyne is a unique
college, not only in its values
and teaching, but also in its
community. Not many people
know that Le Moyne has many
students from around the world
in its student body. Below are
just a few of the international
students here at Le Moyne.
Management and Leadership in
Business
How did you hear about
Le Moyne and why did you
choose to come?
I've always wanted to come
to the States for college and I
got recruited for the Le Moyne
tennis team!
What would you say was
the biggest adjustment when
you first came to the U.S.?
Everyone talks funny here,
and we have different words
for some things in Australia.
So it's been weird listening to
everyone's American accents
and having to explain myself
sometimes when people don't
realize what a "jumper" or a
"mozzie" is.
Do you go home often?
No, because flights are too
long and expensive to go back
to Australia for the shorter
holidays, so I'm going to Canada
with another girl from the tennis
team over Thanksgiving and
Christmas. I might head back to
Australia over the summer.
Main differences between
your culture and the culture
in the U.S.?
The word choices and slang
are very different! And the
serving sizes here are also a lot
bigger. Like one slice of pizza
should not be bigger than your
head!
How has your experience
been so far?
So far, I've loved it! I've
travelled around quite a bit for
tennis and it's been nice to see
a bit of the country. I love being
able to study and play tennis at
the same time and have made
some really amazing friends on
my team!
ENGLAND: Jack Ball, 2017,

How did you hear about
Le Moyne and why did you
choose to come?
I heard about Le Moyne
when I attended the Bryant and
Stratton downtown campus for
my freshman and sophomore
years. I played soccer there and
wanted to step up in athletics

and also academics. Le Moyne
was a great fit.
What do you like most
about Le Moyne?
Le Moyne has been a really
easy transition. My teammates
are excellent and made me feel
really welcomed. My favourite
part about Le Moyne is the pride
that everybody takes in being
associated with the college, you
feel like a part of something
bigger.
What do you miss about
home?
Family is probably the only
thing I miss from time to time.
Apart from that, I love being in
America and experiencing new
things. Home will always be
there.
Do you go home often?
I'll be heading home this
either stay on campus or go to a
teammate’s house.
Are you planning on staying
in the U.S. after graduation or
going back home?
My plan is to go back to
Europe to play basketball after
I’m done with my undergrad
program. After that I might
come back to the States, go to
grad school, and stay here after
that.
How has your experience
been so far?
I do like the school and the
people here, so I would say my
experience has been good so
far. However, I will never be
completely satisfied being here,
just because of the cold and long
winters.
BAHAMAS: Candice Strachan,
2016, Psychology
How did you hear about
Le Moyne and why did you
choose to come?
I heard about Le Moyne from a
list of scholarship opportunities
and I chose this school because
of its Jesuit tradition and high
academic standards.
What do you miss about
home?
I miss the warm climate and
crystal, clear waters.
Christmas, it will be a year since
I was last home. This summer
I stayed in Long Island, which
was an incredible experience.
How has your experience

Morgan Baker said she was
first notified of the incident
by an article released on
Syracuse.com.
“The article on Syracuse.
com was already all over
social media. I would have
liked a quicker email, even if
it was broad, but I do think
the school did a good job
with communication and
I'm glad they sent what they
did,” said Baker. “I think
this is a very unfortunate
situation to happen so close
to our home and it reminds
all of us to always be aware
of our surroundings.”
According
to
the
associate
director
of
Campus Life and Leadership
Ann Bersani all students
and faculty were meant
to be notified at the same
time, but were not due to a
technical issue.
“The College's intent
was to inform all members
of the campus community
at the same time,” said
Bersani. “Due to a technical
glitch, that did not occur. As
soon as it was brought to our
attention, it was corrected
and a new notification was
sent out.”
Along with students on
campus, local residents of
the area were shocked to
hear a body had been found
in the woods right near
their homes.
Paul Williams, who lives
three streets down from
the incident, was in shock
upon hearing the news. “It’s
very surprising because we
have a very good, stable
neighborhood over here.
It’s kind of upsetting to see
— to find a body on this side.
This neighborhood, we’re a
pretty safe neighborhood,”
he said.
Resident of 18 years
Don Santangelo said he
never expected to come
home from apple picking to
such a sight.
“It’s usually pretty quiet
around here. I know we
have some riff raff in the
area, but you never hear
anything like this. This is
just nuts,” said Santangelo.
“College kids just came
back, and hopefully none of
them are missing. Parents
must be worried. It’s kind
of a freaky thing, it’s like a
movie.”
According to a Press
Release from Dewitt Police,
the autopsy has been
completed by the medical
examiner, but the cause
and manner of death are
still “pending toxicology
testing and police and fire
investigation.”
LE MOYNE MEETS THE
POPE
Lexi Paulin ‘17
GUEST WRITER
Washington, D.C. — Amidst
a crowd of approximately
50,000 people, 45 Le Moyne
students stood on the Capitol’s
West Lawn on Sept. 24 to watch
history in the making, as Pope
Francis became the first Pope to
ever address a joint session of
Congress.
Quiet is not a word typically
associated with a crowd of this
magnitude, but as Pope Francis
took his position in front of
Congress, 50,000 people fell
completely silent.
“I am most grateful for your
invitation to address this Joint
Session of Congress in ‘the land
of the free and the home of the
brave,’” Pope Francis began.
While outside, thousands of
people struggled to get a better
view of the jumbotrons erected
specifically for the occasion.
In his papal message — the
longest speech the Pope has
ever given in English — Pope
Francis urged Congress to work
together to resolve society’s
most urgent issues in a slow
and gentle tone.
He talked about immigration
photo courtesy of Kwasi Yeboah '16
and
environmental
stewardship; he emphasized
the importance of each human
life and evoked expressions of
surprise and disbelief when he
called for the abolition of the
death penalty.
After addressing Congress,
Pope Francis emerged onto
the Capitol balcony to address
those on the West Lawn.
In his brief remarks, he asked
the crowd to pray for him and
his mission, saying, "If there
are among you, any who do not
believe or cannot pray, I ask you
please to send good wishes my
way."
The Pope concluded by
exclaiming:
“God
bless
America!”
Onlookers
erupted
in
applause and Pope Francis reentered the Capitol, vanishing
from the crowds view.
“It was truly an inspiring
moment and a once in a lifetime
experience that I will never
forget,” said senior Angela
Tommasini. “I am extremely
grateful to Le Moyne for making
this opportunity possible.”

they didn’t really mean, was
countered by the view that
bishops should be held to a
higher standard. “The article
was fair,” said Loveland, who
was countered by the opinion
that it was a hatchet job.
Fr. David McCallum described
the controversy as, “A reflection
on the polarization that has
been splitting our society into
verbally warring camps on a
multiplicity of subjects.”
One of the Ignatian spiritual
exercises is contemplation
that when in a disagreement,
one should take into account
that the person with whom
you disagree is as honest and
sincere in their views as you are
in yours, and possibly might be
right,” said McCallum. “It is easy
to describe, but very difficult to
attain.” He then contemplated
what Jesus would do. He said
Jesus would seek healing for all,
of the victims he would pray for
mercy for the perpetrators, and
grace for the bishop and all who
were pained by his words.”

years
ago,
revelations of sexual abuse
of children, adolescents, and
adults by some predatory
priests of the Catholic Church
started to appear in newspapers
around the United States and
Europe. Bishop after bishop
tried to cover up the crimes,
and predators were moved
from parish to parish. When
civil settlements were made,
the victims were under “gag”
orders, which prevented them
from discussing their ordeal.
The result of these crimes and
the obstructionism of some
bishops has led to outrage
and a massive deterioration of
credibility of the prelates of the
Catholic Church.
The Post Standard recently
featured a front-page story by
reporter John O’Brien, regarding
statements made by Bishop
Cunningham at a deposition
in 2011 concerning a sexual
assault on an adolescent by a
priest of the Syracuse Diocese.
The victim’s attorney asked,
“Whether in the eyes of the
church, a child molested by a
priest has committed a sin?”
The bishop responded, “The
boy is culpable.”
This question and answer
between the bishop and the
victim’s attorney, and the
bishops subsequent letter to the
parishioners at each church in
the diocese, has elicited strong
reactions from the community.
Senior LeeAnne Pedrick said,
“I am appalled that a child was
blamed.”
A common theme throughout
all interviews was that the
victim in the case was sinned
against and was deserving of
support, care, and compassion
from the community and the
diocese, specifically. And that
the Bishop’s comment was
hurtful to this victim, all other
victims, and those who care for
them.
Some thought the bishop
should resign, while others said
he should stay.
One said he was answering
the question in his capacity as
a canon lawyer, not civil law.

to say MAN CRUSH MONDAY
where you post a picture of a

former best friend.
The amount of “likes” on
Johnson’s Man Crush Monday
photos started decreasing
exponentially after the seventh

“I used to get at least 40 likes
on my Crashley photos, but
lately it’s been five or less,”
explained Johnson. “I think it’s
because everyone is jealous of
the love Craig and I share.”
Johnson’s peers deny being
jealous of Johnson and Green’s

After being polled, Johnson’s
followers unanimously agreed
that her weekly uploads were
“excessive,” “unoriginal” and
“not even cute.”

Le Moyne Soccer
Loses in Upstate
Challenge, Has
Massive Win over
Merrimack
Steve Thomson ‘17
SPORTS EDITOR
Albany, NY--- Prior to Sept. 23,
Le Moyne soccer had some serious
bragging rights over The College of Saint
Rose. The Dolphins had not lost a contest
against the bitter rival in 24 years. This
trend came to a halt in Albany last
Wednesday night. The Dolphins were
defeated by the Golden Knights 2-1.
THE DOLPHIN
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2015
The Upstate Challenge is between Le
Moyne and Saint Rose. It tallies wins and
losses in all sports that they compete
against each other in throughout the
school year. The school with more wins
claims the title. This surprising loss in
men’s soccer adds to the losses column
for the Dolphins in the 2015-16 Upstate
Challenge.
The College of Saint Rose came into
the NE-10 matchup against Le Moyne
with an even record of 2-2. The Golden
Knights had hopes of shocking the
Dolphins and snapping their 15-game
losing streak against them. They did just
that.
Junior forward Joshua Hanif of Saint
Rose scored the first goal of the game to
give them a 1-0 lead in the 41st minute.
This was only their third shot of the first
half. Le Moyne had controlled possession
up to this point, ripping eight shots, but
found themselves down a goal at half.
Just over a minute into the second
half, redshirt senior midfielder Cal Filtch
Vale [farewell] Yogi
placed a free kick to senior defender
Mark Gentile. He headed it in for his
second goal of the year to tie the game
up for the Dolphins.
The College of Saint Rose scored
another goal to clinch the victory just
eight minutes after Le Moyne had tied
it up. Sophomore Romaine Williamson
placed the ball in the back of the net to
beat the Dolphins for the first time in 24
years.
“Saint Rose was a mental test because
we knew we were better on paper,” said
junior back James Goodridge. “We made
some defensive errors and they took
advantage.”
North Andover, Mass.--- Cal Filtch

Last week on Sept. 22, Yogi Berra
died at the age of 90. He was one of the
greatest catchers in the history of the
game of baseball.
His passing generated a flood of
articles describing his life in and out of
baseball. One event in his life on the ball
field that can sum up his character and
life happened in the 1955 World Series
between Yogi of the New York Yankees
and Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn
Dodgers. Robinson was on third base,
and was one of the speediest runners of
his day. He took off toward home plate
in an attempt to steal home. As he slid
toward the plate, Yogi caught the pitch
from Whitey Ford, and put down the
tag. The umpire called Robinson safe.
All five foot seven inches of Yogi jumped
up and expressed in no uncertain
terms a vociferous and gesture laden
disagreement with the call. The play
ended up having little influence on the
outcome of the game. The next Brooklyn
batter hit a base hit which would have
scored Robinson from third anyway.
The play would, though, have an effect
that lasted almost 60 years.
All baseball careers come to an end
and memories fade. But this memory
was one kept alive by Yogi. In one of his
last interviews, Yogi was asked about
Robinson’s steal. “He was out,” was his
immediate reply, but not his last word
on the subject. During and after their
playing days, both Yogi and Robinson
became friends.
Joe Posnanski, sports writer for NBC,
wrote about a meeting that occurred
after Robinson’s death. His wife Rachel
continued the friendship with Yogi
and his wife, Carmen. Rachel and Yogi
developed a ritual that they would use
whenever they met each other at team
reunions, Hall of Fame inductions, or
any social event.
The last one was at Yogi’s last birthday.
He was 90, Rachel was 92. When she
saw Yogi she went up to him and used
their special greeting for the last time:
she said, “Safe;” he said, “Out;” and then
they hugged for a long time.
the head of the goalkeeper. This was his
third goal of the season. The previous
two were game-winners.
With six minutes left in the contest,
Filtch lofted a corner kick to sophomore
forward Jacob Borssen, who converted
a pass to senior forward Nick Rauscher.
Rauscher finished the pass into the net
to give Le Moyne a 2-0 win.
The ‘Phins were outshot on goal by
Merrimack 5-3. These five shots were
saved by sophomore goalkeeper Ben
Beaury, who won NE-10 goalkeeper of
the week that previous week. The Dolphins moved to 5-2 on the
season and made a statement with
this win after losing to Saint Rose. “We
truly played for each other,” said Liam
Roohan. “There are few things sweeter
than beating the undefeated eighthranked team in the nation.”

Miller and Casson’s DoubleDoubles lead Dolphins to
Two Wins
Pat Coultry ‘18
STAFF WRITER
This past week, the Le Moyne Dolphins secured their first conference victory
defeating The College of Saint Rose on Sept. 22 in front of a packed Ted Grant Court.
The bleachers were nearly filled with fans supporting Le Moyne as ‘Phins volleyball
defeated Saint Rose in five sets.
Le Moyne dropped the first set, but regained momentum, winning the next two
sets. The Dolphins looked to end the match in the fourth set, but they fell short.
They eventually took care of business by winning the decisive fifth set, 15-11.
Le Moyne was once again led by freshman right side, Jessica Miller, who registered
a career high 18 kills. She also added three aces and two blocks to propel the
Dolphins past the Golden Knights of Saint Rose.
Junior outside hitter, Natalie Casson, added 11 kills and 16 digs to secure her fifth
double-double of the season. Sophomore setter, Kendall Corcoran, led the way with
42 assists and freshman libero, Mikayla Porr, had 25 digs.
The Dolphins found further success on Sept. 25, as they defeated Roberts
Wesleyan College in three straight sets to improve their winning streak to three.
Once again, Miller led the team with 11 kills, but Le Moyne made quick work
of Roberts Wesleyan in large part due to Casson’s second straight double-double.
Casson contributed 10 kills and 12 digs to earn her team high sixth double-double
of the season.
Junior outside hitter, Andrea Buchanan, and sophomore middle hitter, Danica
Durdines, also combined for 17 kills. In this match, Kendall Corcoran registered 33
assists consistently setting her teammates up. Porr and Casson combined for 28
digs and freshman defensive specialist, Molly Gallagher, had 7 of her own as well.
With the win, Le Moyne improved to 9-3 on the season [1-1 in NE-10 play] and
dropped Roberts Wesleyan to 1-9 on the 2015 campaign.
The women’s soccer
team dropped two games
on the road this week at
The College of Saint Rose
and Saint Anselm College,
once again losing by a
deficit of just one goal in
both games.
The ‘Phins, who have
lost each of their last five
games by one goal, took
on undefeated and ninthranked Saint Rose to start
the week on Sept. 22. In
addition to giving the
Golden Knights their fifth
win on the season, the
win evened the score of
the “Upstate Challenge”,
the year long competition
between Le Moyne and
Saint Rose, at one point
apiece.
Senior goalkeeper, Tori
Corsaro and the rest of
Le Moyne’s defense were
able to keep the Knights
scoreless for most of the
first half until Amanda
Vasquez scored at the
37:04 mark, her second of
the season.
The goal proved to be
the only one it would
take to give Saint Rose
the victory, as both teams
were
held
scoreless
through the remainder of
the game.
Corsaro had a seasonhigh nine saves to keep
the Dolphins in the game,
as Saint Rose registered
a 28-8 advantage in
shots over the course
of the game, including a
10-5 advantage in shots
on goal. In addition, the
Knights took nine corner
kicks, as opposed to Le
Moyne’s two.
Madison Taylor had
five saves for Saint Rose
on her way to posting a
shutout.
Four days later, the
‘Phins
traveled
to Saint Anselm
College on Sept. 26,
where they were
beaten 2-1 by the
Hawks.
Rachel
Gillies
opened the scoring
for Saint Anselm at
the 20:22 mark. The
Dolphins answered
just 48 seconds
later as sophomore
midfielder, Alexis
Muraco
knocked
in a goal off a pass
from sophomore forward,
Kirsten Colegrove.
After
both
teams
were scoreless for the
remainder of the first
half, Saint Anselm’s Callie
Millet was able to score
what proved to be the
game winner about three
minutes into the second
half.
Corsaro had five saves
in the contest to once
again keep Le Moyne in
the game, including four
in the second half. The
Hawks held a 21-5 shot
advantage as well as a
7-2 advantage in shots on
goal.
Saint
Anselm
goalkeeper,
Cassie
Quattropani, made one
save en route to earning
the win.
According
to
lemoynedolphins.com, Le
Moyne put two shots over
the crossbar in the second
half, but was otherwise
unable to capitalize to tie
the game.
After dropping two

the ‘Phins fall to 1-6 on
the season and 0-4 in

goals over the course of
their seven games thus far
this season.
“We need to do the little
things with great effort
and play as a team,” said
Corsaro. “Once we find
our rhythm we’ll be able
to be successful.”

to
two opportunities for

FRESHMAN
THOUGHTS
Allison Stephens ‘19
STAFF WRITER
Alright, time to face facts:
we’re freshmen again. It means
a new school, new people, and a
new campus to learn. But we’ll
get through it. . .eventually.
In the meantime, let’s review
some thoughts from these past
few weeks.
1.“Okay, where’s my STATs
class again?”
No worries, we have no idea
where we’re going either.
2. “So if I have eight meals a
week I can do dinner every night
and I can lunch on Thursday...
but wait, Maria wanted to have
lunch with me on Tuesday.”
Just eat all your pop-tarts and
cheez-its and call it a day.
3. “What is with all these golf
carts?!”
Seriously, they’re everywhere.
4.
“WOO
HOO
FREEDOMMMMM!!!”
Slow down. Don’t go crazy.
It’ll just make your meal plan
and your wallet run out the first
week.
5. “8 a.m. classes won’t be too
bad! High school started at 7!”
No. It’s just as bad. Don’t kid
yourself. You’re still gonna hit
snooze every morning.
6. “I miss my parents but
I don’t want to seem like a
baby.…”
We all miss them. And that’s
okay.
7. “Yes! Time to party every
night!”
Once again, slow down. A
little partying isn’t bad, but
everything in moderation. Don’t
party all night and fail your way
out.
8. “Ugh, does this mean I have
to go to church every Sunday?”
No. Despite all the priests on
campus, everyone is accepted
here.
9. “I don’t know anyone in
any of my classes. Guess I’ll eat
alone every night.”
Being in college is about new
experiences and new friends.
No matter what kind of person
you are, you’ll definitely find
someone you click with.
10. “I wanna do every single
club this school has to offer!
Psych club, drama club, tennis
club, EVERYTHING!”
Say it with me this time: slow
down. Find your niche. Find
something you’ll absolutely
love. Try some new things but
do what you want in the end.
11. “I have a paper due at the
end of the first week?!”
Yup, this is college. It’s time
to start cracking down. But hey,
it’ll prepare you for real life.
12. “I hope my teachers are
really laid back and don’t care.”
No. You WANT your teachers
to be on you all the time. Those
are the teachers that want you
to succeed. Those are the ones
that will make you great.
13. “I know exactly what I
want to be when I grow up! I’ll
never have to think about it
again!”
One more time: slow down.
You never know, and that’s
okay! All in good time.
14. “Oh no, I’ll be poor by next
week! That’s what happened to
all my friends!”
No, all your friends blew
their money on hot pockets and
cheese doodles. You just gotta
be smart with it.
15. “Wait, people actually use
the library?”
Crazy right? But the library
is actually a great place to find
a quiet place to study and get
your work done.
16. “I was top ten in my high
school! College will be so easy!”
Nope. It’s a whole different
ball game. You’ll pick up on
some things fast and others
not so fast. Just make sure you
always try.
17. “Yeah, finally! No dress
code!”
That one is pretty great.
18. “College is going to be
great!”
And you sure are right about
that.

You Are Not Alone Week
Haley Quinlan
GUEST WRITER
As we come to the end of the
first month of the semester,
hopefully everybody is finding
their footing on campus:
we hope that freshmen are
finding new surroundings
and that upperclassmen are
reestablishing their old ones
and moving forward with the
goals of their respective year.
Sometimes, however, these
transitions don't go as smoothly
as we would like them to or as
we expect them to. You may
experience small bumps in
the road or large chasms that
keep you from progressing.
Sometimes these occur here,
but for some people, these
might be challenges that could
have started before they got to
Le Moyne this year.
We're here to tell you
that everyone experiences
challenges, no matter how small
or large. We also want to let
you know that there is always
someone there at Le Moyne that
can help you get through it!
Next week is our annual, “You
Are Not Alone Week” [YANA].
You might have seen folks
wearing these T-shirts from
previous years around campus
— they mean something! This
week recognizes and celebrates
Le
Moyne’s

caring community, and wants
everybody on its campus to feel
like they have an ally, no matter
what is going on in their life.
From being involved in an
abusive relationship, to having
a substance abuse problem, or
suffering from a mental health
disorder and other situations
such as being a victim of sexual
assault, discrimination, or
bullying, and struggling with
sexuality...there are endless
situations and conditions that
may be thrown at us in our lives,
which we may not be informed
about.
Feelings of safeness are only
temporary; escaping your
problems does not mean they
are resolved. Instead, confront
your fears by taking the first
step towards educating yourself
on the issue at hand and using
helpful tools such as the internet
as your go-to. Most importantly,
ask for help, confide in someone,
and know that there are people
at Le Moyne who can help you
feel less isolated and alone. As
you go through next week’s
YANA activities, keep in mind
that YOU might be the person
to help a friend or peer feel less
alone!
We all live busy lives. Let’s
face it, we’re college students.
In the midst of our chaotic lives
we sometimes forget to take
care of our mental health. As a
member of the Le Moyne College
community, it is important to
remember that, YOU ARE NOT
ALONE. Someone is ALWAYS
there for you no matter the
situation. Whether it be a friend,
family, peer, trusted professor
or advisor, someone in Health
or Counseling Services, coach,
Campus Ministry, etc. Someone
is always there and someone
always understands. Remember
that anything and everything is
important enough to talk about.
So fellow Le Moyne students,
in the words of Disney’s
Cinderella
[2015],
“Have
courage and be kind.”
On
Saturday,
it’s open from
noon to 6 p.m.,
and Sunday from
noon to 5 p.m.
Who wants to wait till noon
on Saturday or Sunday to go to
the gym? If I wait that long, I’ll
already be in line at Chipotle
for my mid-day burrito bowl,
you feel me? THEN, it closes at
6p.p.…what is that? WHAT IS
THAT?
Because of these whacked up
hours, I am unable to go to the
gym on Monday, Tuesday, and
sometimes Wednesday. That
totally ruins my week. I need
my “me” time at the gym, it’s the
only way my body can function
properly.
My housemate Shannon is
behind me 100 percent. We
have been gym
buddies for a
long time and
now because
of our different
schedules
and
the
disgustingly
odd
gym
hours, we can’t
sweat together
anymore.
THAT
WAS
QUALITY
BONDING
TIME
WITH
EACH OTHER.
The solution:
L o n g e r
gym hours. Maybe 6 a.m. to
midnight? Every day, if possible.
Yes, I know that would require a
work study to work but HELLO,
I know so many people who are
always looking for work study
positions and never find one.
Or, we could solve all of these
problems and give students
swipe access to the gym
anytime/anyday we want. I can
do my squats in private at 11:30
p.m. if I want. Or, I can wake
up early Saturday morning,
eat a nice healthy breakfast,
and then head over to the gym,
get my sweat on, come back
to my house and finish all my
homework just in time to pregame for the bars. Just saying.
I’m starting a petition.
I JUST WANNA
WORK OUT....
Abigail Adams '16
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
It’s Monday night, 10:30 p.m.,
I’m just leaving The Dolphin
office after our meeting and I’m
going to head down to the gym
for a killer workout. Oh, wait...I
CAN’T.
It’s Saturday morning around
9:15 a.m., I just had some
granola with milk and a fresh
banana, now I’m going to head
to the gym and really crank out
a good ab workout. Oh, wait...I
CAN’T.
It’s Friday around 5 p.m. and
I had a stressful day answering
emails, finishing projects, and
catching up on reading, so I’m
going to go do some cardio
to clear my head. Oh, wait...I
CAN’T.
I think you get the idea. The
gym has crappy hours and it’s
frustrating. I can’t even tell
you how many people I’ve
talked to over the past three
weeks and somehow we end
up complaining about our
schedules and how we have zero
time to go to the gym, because
the hours are totally ridiculous.
On the weekdays it’s open 6
a.m. to 10 pm. Except Friday, it’s
only open until 4:30 p.m....yeah,
you read that right. So much
for that pre-dinner workout.

2016 Presidential Candidates: What You Need to Know
Allison Dolzonek '16
OPINION EDITOR
photo courtesy of repmanblog.com
I love election season. It
might just be the real most
wonderful time of the year, that
is, if you enjoy mud slinging,
absurdly funded campaigns
[Trump recently loaned his
own campaign $1.8 million
— and it’s not even 2016!],
and ridiculous quotes from
presidential debates [“The
most dangerous person in any
room is the person who doesn’t
know what he doesn’t know.”—
Former Governor of Arkansas,
Mike Huckabee].
So, I guess, yeah! I love
election season! Now here’s
what I think you should know
about the frontrunners for the
2016 election. . . .
We’ll start with the
Republicans because, well,
they’ve been the most fun:
Former Florida Governor
Jeb Bush: His crime plan
revolves mostly around building
more prisons and issuing longer
sentences, because punishment
over therapy hardens people.
What better way to solve our
prison industrial complex than
with more prisons and stricter
sentencing?
Dr. Ben Carson [Florida]:
Has minimal business, political,
and military experience. Oh,
and he claimed that sexual
orientation is a choice. Why
don’t more people choose to be
straight like him?
Businesswoman
Carly
Fiorina [Virginia]: Here we go!
The Republicans are shaking
it up and throwing a woman
in the mix. I mean, it is about
time. . . she wants to overturn
Roe V. Wade, which defended a
woman’s right to abortion.
US Senator Rand Paul
[Kentucky]:
Wants
to
decriminalize marijuana and
do away with the common core
[bonus points for Paul], but
advocates for energy freedom
and traditional energy sources
— AKA open the floodgates for
private and unregulated coal
extraction and hydrofracking.
Or perhaps he is looking for
a return to kerosine lamp
lighting? I could get behind that.
Businessman
Donald
Trump [New York]: He wants
to make some serious cuts to
the Department of Education.
Because it isn’t hypocritical at
all for a man whose networth
is approximately $4 billion to
advocate for spending cuts
on public services millions of
citizens rely on.
Now onto the Democrats!
They’ve
been
slightly
disappointing compared to the
entertainment the Rs have been
providing, but here’s what you
need to know:
Former US Secretary of
State and Senator Hillary
Clinton [New York]: Wants
to promote the teaching of the
Bible as history and literature
in schools and not as religion
or science. Hey, Hillary! Go
girl! She supported the Defense
of Marriage Act Bill Clinton
signed [2007], which she
recently recanted and claimed
to have changed her views
on the definition of marriage
[convenient, huh?]. And she
sponsored a bill in 2010 which
would criminalize flag burning.
Let me exercise my freedom of
speech to say, “Hey, Hillary! Go
away, girl!”
US Senator Bernie Sanders
[Vermont]: Wants to increase
income tax for the wealthiest to
50 percent, pass an employment
non-discrimination act, combat
the disproportionate killing
of black citizens by police, and
immediately address the state
of the global environment.
And his voting record actually
matches up to his platforms
[that may be a first]. Running
this country, however, relies
a lot on compromise and a
realistic understanding of how
legislation will be passed within
a deeply divided legislature,
both of which Sanders lacks.
But don’t take my word
for it — go read up and stay
informed! Every vote counts,
especially when Trump still
holds the lead.

CHEERS & JEERS GUY
Le Moyne’s family weekend looked like it went really well. So many of you
were kind enough to take time out of your busy schedules to give your parents
and siblings the grandest of Le Moyne tours. You guys want to know whose
family didn’t get the grandest of tours? You guessed it. With smiles on their
faces, bags already packed, my parents informed me that rather than come to Le
Moyne’s family weekend, they would be attending my sister’s family weekend
at Geneseo. They made these stupid excuses, saying that it’s because I “still live
at home” and I “see them every day” and I “make them cook me food and do
my laundry” and on and on. Whatever. What follows is my revenge on families
everywhere. Blame my parents.
1 Cheer: I’ll Do it For
You, Honey…
Woman: “I know I shrank this
shirt in the dryer but it’s the only
color that works with my eyes.”
Man: “...Want me to pull my shirt
up so you don’t feel so insecure?”
Woman: “Want me to grow a
beard so you don’t feel so insecure?”
Man: “Take the photo.”
1 Jeer: Don’t Ever Forget Me
Of all the pictures I’ve seen in my life, this one
just scares me. Why isn’t the dad (?) smiling? Is
he questioning his choice to allow his daughter
to wear a furry lampshade on her head? Does
he regret picking out the same sunglasses for he
and his daughter? Is he jealous of the luscious
locks his son has?
photo courtesy of dailymail.co.uk
2 Cheers: Say...Surprise!
The most difficult thing to figure out
about this photo is who is more surprised.
My money's on the woman; I think she
just realized who the photographer
really is. As for the guy in front of her, I’m
almost 100% positive that this is her son,
but I’m puzzled as to why he’s nearly as
surprised as she is. Best guess? I think he
just realized who the photographer really
is.

3 Cheers: I’ve Had the Time of My Life
Man in the Middle: “We can’t
have our shirts on for this photo.
I don’t do 20 push-ups a day for
nothing.”
Man on the Right: “I just want
the camera to see the tattoos I
just got.”
Man on the Left: “...Were we
supposed to go tanning?”
photo courtesy of epiccarnage.com
3 Jeers: I Want a
Permanent Memory
photo courtesy of google.com
If you read-up on this photo you’ll discover that this
woman ended up launching her child into the sand. Kids are
tough (and it looks like pretty soft sand) so naturally the kid
was fine, but let’s talk about the husband. He just secured an
invaluable get-out-of-jail-free card. For example: “How dare
you forget our anniversary!” can be countered with, “How
dare you throw our child into the sand!” “Honey, how could
you forget the broccoli again?” can be easily refuted by saying,
“The same way you forgot to hold onto our child.”
2 Jeers: No Shoes,
No Shirt, No Problem
photo courtesy of epiccarnage.com
One photo has managed to
highlight quite a few bad decisions.
Most blatantly obtuse, does this guy
realize that he paid to have the faces
of the people he assumedly “loves”
on his back, where he’ll never be able
to see them unless he poses shirtless
in front of a full-size mirror?
