The Legacy of President R. Mark Sullivan: “A great leader for Saint Rose.”

By SUNSHINE OSELLAFeatures Editor

After many years of dedi-cated service to The College of Saint Rose, President R. Mark Sullivan will be step-ping down in August 2012. Since 1996, when Sullivan began his term as President of Saint Rose, the college has seen many extraordinary, pos-itive changes.

“Dr. Sullivan has been the perfect president for Saint Rose…He has helped us grow in the number of students on campus and in the fantastic growth in the buildings and beauty of our campus. He has been a great leader for Saint Rose.” said Rev. Christopher DeGiovine, Dean of Spiritual Life and Chaplain.

Since 1996, Saint Rose has transformed into a rapidly growing college with over 5,000 students. The freshman class size increased from 333 to 600, almost doubling in the last 15 years. This is due, in

large part, to the strong lead-ership of Sullivan. Marcus Buckley, Vice President of Finance and Administration, said that the growth of the col-lege’s academic stature and its recognition as a selective institution are all direct off-shoots of the President’s work over the years.

“I am most proud of the fact that when students talk to me at the end of their career here, or when they are out in the working world or graduate school, they invariably will tell me that they can compete with any graduate from any-where,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan said that over the last fifteen years the col-lege has put in over a million dollars’ worth of structural changes. These include new academic buildings, such as the Massry Center, and new Athletic facilities, such as the Plumeri Sports Complex. These changes have, in turn, attracted over 50 new faculty members over the last decade.

Lisa Thomson, As-sistant Vice President for Public Relations, said that for a small college someone is needed who can lead all aspects of a col-lege and Sullivan is one of those multi-faceted people. Thomson, who has been working at Saint Rose since 1995, said,

The official ground-breaking ceremony for Centennial Hall was held last week. It was at-tended by Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings, state senators and as-semblymen, Saint Rose faculty,

Centennial Hall Ground-breaking Ceremonystaff and students.

Work began on Centennial Hall, named in honor of the 2020 centennial anniversary of the col-lege, last May. The ceremony was purposely delayed until the start of the Fall semester so students could be included.

“Centennial Hall is a dream

come true for Saint Rose and our students,” said Saint Rose Presi-dent R. Mark Sullivan. “We talk about keeping our students here in the Capital Region, to start that you have to get them here. In or-der to get them here you have to provide safe, secure facilities,” he said.

The new $17.5 million, 94,000 sq. ft. residence hall, scheduled for completion in August 2012, will house 224 Saint Rose juniors and seniors. The living spaces will be organized as two and four person suite-style apartments with a cooking space, living room and dining room. The hall will also feature bicycle storage and laundry facilities and group study areas on each floor.

A convenience store, Provi-sions On-Demand, and a combi-nation burger studio and café will also be located in the facility.

“Centennial Hall will provide students with outstanding ameni-ties and a bridge between college life and independence,” Sullivan said.

“I cannot wait to move in as

“The height of my career has been working for Dr. Sullivan. He is one of a kind.”

“The best day in a college pres-ident’s life is commencement be-cause then I can see those couple thousand students come across the stage,” said Sullivan. “Obvi-ously I don’t have a memory of every one of them, but for many of them I know how they’ve changed and I’ve seen them de-velop over four years or five years and that’s a good feeling.”

Sullivan is well respected and trusted by many members of the Saint Rose community. Karin Carr, Vice President for Institu-tional Advancement, said that she still remembers her first meeting with Sullivan for her interview. “The moment I met him [Sul-livan], I knew this is where I wanted to be.” Carr said that she asked Sullivan how long he was planning to remain at Saint Rose because he was the main reason she wanted to take the job.

Sullivan and his wife, Kathy, are honorary Alums of Saint Rose. This is not an honor that is handed out lightly. This level of recognition speaks to the level of respect that Sullivan has earned. “I am struck by how many people know Sullivan, and how many people he knows by name,” said Carr.

“His [Sullivan’s] concern for

all people stands out,” said Buck-ley. “It didn’t matter whether they were students, family mem-bers, alums, faculty, staff, politi-cians or community members; President Sullivan accorded them

the kind of respect seldom seen these days.”

Sullivan said he plans to con-tinue to be involved with Saint Rose after he steps down. “I will take a sabbatical and then I will return to the college and teach here in the school of education and possibly other courses as they develop,” said Sullivan. Sul-livan said he and his wife will be attending as many events that they can possibly work into their calendars: concerts, athletic con-tests, student recitals, etc. “I want to continue to enjoy everything about this institution,” said Sul-livan.

Sullivan’s plans for the future also include being involved in the discussion and solution of Urban Education. Sullivan said that it’s important to improve schools so young children can be prepared for college. Sullivan’s other in-terests include civic matters and community boards.

“President Sullivan was always insightful, and his ability to chal-lenge those of us whom worked directly for him made us all bet-ter at what we do,” said Buckley. “His leadership permeated the College. He has set a high stan-dard for all that we did, and his successor will find that the Col-lege is poised to move to the next level from a position of strength.”

“President Sullivan was always insight-ful, and his ability to challenge those of us whom worked directly for him made us all better at what we do.”

Marcus Buckley Pardon the intrusion into your relaxing late-June morning with this announcement. Some of you will be surprised by what I am about to say, so I will jump right into it. At a meeting of the Ex-ecutive Committee of the Board of Trustees earlier this morning, I announced that I will step down as President at the end of my cur-rent contract, which is August 31, 2012.

Ever since I decided to move in this direction, I have been strug-gling to come up with the right words to explain my intentions.

I have loved every minute serving as President of our re-markable college and I will surely miss my life as president once my term of office expires in fourteen months. When I accepted the presidency in March of 1996, I re-member commenting at the time that Saint Rose was a lot stronger than many, from both within and beyond the College boundaries, gave it credit. It possessed strong academic programs, dedicated faculty and staff, strong ties to the local community and a very supportive and generous Board of Trustees.

Fifteen years later, it is a uni-versally accepted fact that The College of Saint Rose is much stronger reputationally, academi-cally, financially and physically than it was in 1996. This, of course, is attributed to the hard work and dedication of every-

one who is part of the Saint Rose community. It will be up to oth-ers to cite significant examples of our growth in size and quality during my tenure, yet I hope you all agree that together we have developed into an outstanding in-stitution of higher education.

Of course, the ultimate litmus test supporting this observation is the success attained by our gradu-ates who have been fortunate to develop their multiple talents while studying at Saint Rose. Without a doubt, the most fulfill-ing commentary on our success is found in the hundreds of letters and e-mails I’ve received over the years thanking me for all the work you’ve done to shape their success.

We are a community that takes great pride in working together to live our mission every day. It’s no wonder that in a couple of weeks, The Chronicle of Higher Education will once again desig-nate the College as a “Great Place to Work” for the fourth year in a row, perhaps the only college in the country to receive this honor four years in a row. As Sr. Char Bloom mentioned so eloquently at a Chamber of Commerce lun-cheon last week honoring her , “we are a community of excel-lence tempered by joy.”

In my situation, the “health event” that occurred in my life last September may have made my decision a bit easier, but it is not the primary reason for phas-ing down.

It just feels like the right time. The College is in a very strong position and I am progressing, every day, toward what I hope will be a full recovery. This is largely attributable to the endless messages of support and encour-agement from all of you.

When Ellen Goodman wrote her last syndicated column on January 1, 2010, she talked about transitions while never using the “R” word. She said, “transition involves a sense of future, a be-lief that every exit line is an entry; that we are moving on rather than moving out.”

In many respects, I feel the same way. After taking an oft-postponed sabbatical, I will teach courses in the Lally School of Education and perhaps in other areas of the College as opportuni-ties arise. I will continue to work on issues and projects related to the role of colleges and universi-ties in improving the plight of ur-ban educational school systems.

For certain, Kathy and I will spend more time with each other and with our children and grand-children. As my seven-year old grandson Charlie said a few days ago, “more time for whiffle ball in the backyard, Grandpa.” Of course, with my erratic swing, it may have to be T-ball for awhile.

Without question, Kathy and I will always be very connected to Saint Rose. It is our home, and the community that we love and cherish.

Albert Einstein once said, “I must be willing to give up what I am to become what I will be.” I don’t quite know what I will be in the full sense of Einstein’s ob-servation, but I know what I am today – deeply blessed to have had the incredible opportunity to serve as your president for 16 years – and one who is looking forward with great enthusiasm to the next fourteen months of hard work with all of you, my friends and colleagues at Saint Rose. We have many tasks and challenges on the docket for next year, in-cluding the implementation of the first year of a new strategic plan; the construction and opening of Centennial Hall, and fundraising and construction related to the new Huether School of Business.

May each of you enjoy some rest and relaxation this summer and as the Irish Blessing says so well, “may God hold each and every one of you in the palm of His hand.”

Thank you very much.

Volume 80 Issue 3The Saint Rose Chronicle September 7, 2011NewsA4Hurricane Irene Causes Damage, Inspires Aid for Local Victims

By ALISON LESTERManaging Editor

As students prepared to re-turn to Saint Rose for the Fall 2011 semester, many wondered how they were going to move-in on the same day as Hurricane Irene’s inevitable clash with the Albany area on Sunday, Aug. 28. The Offi ce of Residence Life began receiving calls as early as Wednesday, Aug. 24 regarding the possibility of early returns to avoid moving in during the hur-ricane chaos.

An e-mail was sent out that Friday by Jennifer Richardson, the Director of Residence Life, letting students know that they were permitted to move in af-ter 2 p.m. on Saturday. “We had approximately 300 requests be-tween e-mails and phone calls for students to return on Saturday,” said Richardson. “I was still com-municating with students on Sat-urday about moving in that day.”

The following day, Student Af-fairs sent an e-mail to encourage returning students who did not move in early to wait until Mon-day, when the weather would be calm again.

“In terms of move-in on Mon-day, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we’ve had about 60 additional students move in who were un-able to arrive over the weekend because of being impacted by the storm,” said Richardson.

As contributing writer TG

Branfalt Jr. reported in the Tuesday, Aug. 30 article, “Irene Uproots Tree and Cuts Power in the Albany Area,” Hurricane Irene’s visit caused a fl ash fl ood warning in Albany County, and also brought with it high winds that “downed branches, power lines and left many Pine Hills residents without power.” Many surrounding areas also experi-enced damage, fl ooding, and power outages due to the hur-ricane.

Mary Alice Molgard, an As-sistant Professor of Commu-nications at Saint Rose, is also a Commissioner for the Berne Fire District, which consists of the Berne Fire Company and the East Berne Fire Company. They responded to 66 storm-related calls in 2 days, already doubling their usual call volume for the year. “This is rather unusual circumstances,” Molgard said. The storm-related calls were for emergencies such as fi res, water rescues, and pumping water out of basements.

Berne, which is a town about 30 minutes away from the Saint Rose campus, experienced a fair amount of road and bridge damage. However, neighbor-ing areas such as Schoharie and Middleburgh suffered more se-vere damage. “There was very serious fl ooding all around,” said Molgard.

Dr. Cailin Brown, another Associate Professor of Com-

munications at Saint Rose, had no power on her street in the City of Albany from 6 a.m. on Sunday until 6 p.m. on Wednesday. A sub-contractor truck for National Grid came all the way from Madison, Wisconsin to restore the power.

In response to the hurricane-related devastation that many have faced in and around Albany, various students spoke up about wanting to help. Father Chris DeGiovine, the Dean of Spiri-tual Life, put together a response committee, which includes vari-ous staff members, such as Ken Scott, the Director of Community Service, Dennis McDonald, the

Vice President of Student Affairs, and community members who live in the hurricane-impacted areas. “This kind of de-cision to respond is something that we see happen at Saint Rose: Stu-dents that want to immediately help those in dire straits, and Saint Rose staff who get personally in-volved with them to make it hap-

pen.” said Scott.McDonald forwarded an email

from DeGiovine to students on Thursday, Sept. 1 that asked all those who would like to donate to bring their items/supplies to the library in the basement of the Hubbard Interfaith Sanctuary. The needed items listed in the e-mail are: “New blankets, fl ash-lights and batteries, non-perish-able and canned food items that can be easily opened, wet wipes, toiletries of all kinds (feminine products too), new shoes/boots, cat/dog food, bottled water, work gloves, baby food/formula, dia-pers, Depends, sanitary supplies, hand sanitizer, gift cards of all kinds (there is a Walmart in Co-bleskill that people can access), phone cards, [and] cash.”

According to the e-mail, the items are being transported to Cobleskill (for the Schoharie and Middleburgh area), Windham, and Berne. The fi rst load of sup-plies was taken out at 11 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 2 by Molgard and Saint Rose student Samantha Smith, due to the fact they are residents in the emergency zone.

“People will need all kinds of help and assistance for months just to survive,” said DeGiovine. “We had to try and help in any way we can.”

Teri Rogers, the Administra-tive Secretary for the Offi ce of Spiritual Life, has been working on coordinating and collecting the supplies. While it is unknown exactly how many supplies have been donated thus far, a large amount of food, clothes, and monetary donations have been received by the Hubbard Inter-faith Sanctuary. Donators have consisted of Saint Rose students, faculty and staff, and members of the local community. Many dona-tors requested to be anonymous. “People just really want to help in any way they can, unselfi shly,” said Rogers. “Many are offering to drive the donations to various locations using their own time and vehicles. The calls to the Hubbard Sanctuary have been overwhelming with people want-ing to know how to help.”

Rachel Flynn, a fi rst year grad-uate student at Saint Rose, came to the Hubbard Interfaith Sanctu-ary to help organize the supplies. “I hope that it holds them over, that they have the bare necessi-ties to get them through this hard time.” said Flynn.

The Hubbard Interfaith Sanc-tuary will be accepting donations for victims of Hurricane Irene for the next couple of weeks.

By MICHAEL BELLIZZIContributing Writer

In the wake of the devas-tation caused by Hurricane Irene, The American Red Cross of Northeastern New York is asking for volunteers to assist in the response to unprecedented flooding, evacuations and power outages. As of August 31st, more than 35 shelters have been opened across New York due to Irene’s effects with the potential for additional shelters to open soon.

“You name it. We need all the help we can get,” said Skip Zimmerman, Regional Director of Volunteer and Community Services at The American Red Cross of Northeastern New York.

Volunteers are being asked to help in the assistance of shelter operations; feeding evacuees and distributing supplies such as clean-up and comfort kits. Volunteers may also be asked to help those affected by Hurricane Irene with counseling, emotional support and disaster nursing.

As Chief Executive Officer Gary Striar of The American Red Cross of Northeastern New York explains, “Volunteers are always needed for disaster responses; to help provide train-ing, work at blood drives and for many other functions.”

Blood donations are also in

high demand as well. Irene has already caused the cancel-lation of more than 50 blood drives along the East Coast at a time when the blood supply is already low.

Those who wish to become a volunteer are asked to come straight to The American Red Cross of Northeastern New York’s headquarters located at 33 Everett Road in Albany. Volunteers must be over the age of 18, be able to lift at least 35 pounds, and have a valid driver’s license.

Added Striar: “The Ameri-can Red Cross volunteers make up 96 percent of our work. As a result of the hurricane and resulting flooding, we have an urgent need for volunteers at this time.”

Volume 80 Issue 3The Saint Rose Chronicle September 7, 2011NewsA6It’s T-Shirt Time! Local Student Entrepreneurs Start Business

By KAYLA MATTEOContributig Writer

There is good news for those hoping to start off this school year looking fresh. Two local businesses, Lo Key T Company and Made in Truth Clothing are here to help. Both formed last fall, Lo Key T Company and Made in Truth Clothing feature original art and some real busi-ness initiative by area students.

TJ Kennedy, 20, a student at State University at Albany and a resident of Pine Hills, has excit-ing plans in store for Lo Key T Company. The company, started in fall of 2010, is ready to release three original shirts this Friday, after much planning and promot-ing.

Lo Key started out as an almost unrealistic idea, but with the help of graphic designer Brian France, web designer Will Winkler, and designated head of fi nances De-

ven Gould, it has grown into a lo-cally established brand name.

Starting out with notebooks full of sketches done by Ken-nedy himself, the four fi rst meet to discuss which ones they want to use. The images then go to France, who turns the sketches into graphic designs. After that, the images are sent out to a local screen printing company, where they are re-sized, and then printed in bulk on T-shirts and tank tops. The shirts are then sold on their website.

At their weekly meetings, they also discuss promotional ideas and marketing strategies, along with planning events and trying to fi gure out how to best bring together a community of people with similar interests, like music.

Lo Key T Company plans to re-lease two related designs weekly after starting things off this week with three designs to give ev-eryone a sense of what they are

about. They are also starting a promotion where customers will receive a pair of Lo Key sunglass-es with every order. You can fi nd them on Facebook, Twitter, and at their website, lokeyt.co.

Also out there in the local T-shirt design scene are the guys behind Made In Truth Clothing. Eugene O’Neill, 21, an art major at The College of Saint Rose, and Will Rowe, 23, a student at Bry-ant and Stratton College, started Made In Truth and its sister com-pany Truth T’s and Apparel, in October 2010.

O’Neill, who makes music under the moniker “Subliminal Truth,” met Rowe through mu-sic friends and told him about an idea he had had to start a shirt company based around the idea of truth. Rowe was instantly in-trigued, and together they began brainstorming ideas for what would eventually become Made in Truth.

In order to supplement cash fl ow for their own artistic busi-ness venture, they started Truth T’s and Apparel. Truth T’s prints shirts for local businesses and groups, such as student clubs and Greek life. With the revenues made from printing for Truth T’s, they then used Made in Truth to really express themselves with less of a fi nancial risk.

“We’re trying to represent how we feel and think about every-thing that’s going on around us,” said Rowe of the designs, which often include their logo, a bar-code. “We know a lot of people and we know what they like and dislike. We know what’s hot,” said O’Neill.

The designs, which generally start out as graphics, are then made into screens and print-ed onto shirts by O’Neill and Rowe themselves in a studio in O’Neill’s home. The time con-suming process of screen printing their own work is well worth it to them.

They are currently accepting orders through Facebook and e-

mail. They hope to have their online store up and running this month and are always open to suggestions from the public.

“We’re try-ing to incorpo-rate everyone’s lifestyle into the way they express t h e m s e l v e s , ” said Rowe.

Lo Key and Made in Truth both have simi-lar goals and aspirations to bring the com-munity closer through art and music, and they are not alone. Other compa-nies have started recently and locally, including thINK Apparel and U IS Nation Clothing.

“I see more and more stu-

dents coming in with little tee-shirt lines,” said Jim Holodek, of ALLU Inc., a screen printing and embroidery company located by the University of Albany. “It’s defi nitely a trend.”

September 7, 2011 Volume 80 Issue 3 The Saint Rose ChronicleArts B7Charlotte Brontë, You Ruined My Life:

Professor Barbara Ungar’s Latest Poetry BookBy ALISON LESTERManaging Editor

After viewing the 1944 fi lm version of Jane Eyre, “while go-ing through a painful and pro-tracted divorce,” Saint Rose Professor Barbara Ungar found herself saying “Charlotte Brontë, you ruined my life!” These words would lead to her writing a poem which she ended up not liking.

“Others did, however,” said Ungar. “So it grew on me gradu-ally, till I realized it would make a good title for the collection.”

This collection of poems, pub-

lished earlier this year, was in-spired either directly or indirectly by events in Ungar’s life. Ungar, who practices freewriting, says she does so in an attempt to con-tact “the se-cret monsters of the id.” Along with poetic license, the inclusion of “dreams, books, mov-ies, artwork, stories, fanta-sies, and so on,” and inspiration from rereading the classics, Un-gar’s poems are born.

“I fi nd the process of self-ex-ploration exciting and challeng-ing,” said Ungar.

Before Charlotte Brontë, You Ruined My Life, Ungar wrote two

other poetry books: Thrift, which was published in 2005, and The Origin of the Milky Way, which was pub-lished in 2007. According to the back of Charlotte Brontë, You Ruined

My Life, Ungar won the follow-ing awards for The Origin of the Milky Way: the 2006 Gival Press

Poetry Award, an Eric J. Hoffer Notable for Poetry Award, a Silver Independent Publishers’ Book Award, and the Adirondack Center for Writing Award for Best Book of Poetry 2007 (as a co-winner).

Ungar says that Thrift, whose poems were written over a period of many years, “doesn’t have any co-herent theme, apart from ‘how did I get here, to where I am now?’” Some of Thrift’s poems were more experimental than others.

The Origin of the Milky Way, which was written during Ungar’s last sabbatical, focuses on the themes of preg-nancy and early moth-erhood. Ungar believes her second poetry book is more “cohesive” than her fi rst.

“The poems are shorter, simpler; many of them were written in my head when my son was very young;” said Ungar. “As soon as he would go down for a nap, I would rush to write them down.”

Ungar believes that Char-

“No one would write poetry if they didn’t love it;” said Ungar. “There are no other rewards.”

Author Professor Barbara Ungar

Ungar’s new poetry collection, Charlotte Brontë, You Ruined My Life

lotte Bronte, You Ruined My Life is somewhere be-tween her fi rst two books. “It coheres around the theme of divorce, descent into hell, and rebirth, but the poems range some-what widely.”

As a professor who does the assignments she gives her students, many of the poems that appear in Charlotte Brontë, You Ruined My Life were cre-ated from writing insult poems, which is one of Ungar’s favorite assign-ments.

“I fi nd it can release ter-rifi c energy and free stu-dents (and me) from constraints,” said Ungar.

Ungar hopes that her latest po-etry book will both comfort and entertain those who have dealt with struggles related to those that she has dealt with, such as divorce.

“The book attempts to deal with many layers of culture that infl uence women and our choic-es: from nineteenth-century nov-els with Byronic heroes (I could have called the book Blame It on Byron, and I’d still like to write a poem by that name),” said Ungar. “To Disney with its absolutely atrocious heterosexist and sexist stereotyping, which (thanks to

VCRs and DVDs) young women now grow up absolutely saturated in.”

Ungar, who says she is always writing poems, has been working on a new collection.

“It has a lot of aquatic imagery, and has to do with mortality,” said Ungar, “My father is 89 and fad-ing, so I’ve been wrestling with that lately, along with my own ag-ing (and that of all my friends and relations).”

Its current working title is Does Anyone Know a Spell to Become a Mermaid That Really Works.

“No one would write poetry if they didn’t love it;” said Ungar. “There are no other rewards.”

A decade has gone by and we are now approaching the an-niversary of one of America’s most devastating days: Septem-ber 11th. Now, at this 10 year anniversary it is pertinent to ask, “What, as a country, have we achieved? What has changed? What will change?”

In the ten years that followed the most tragic event America has ever experienced we have witnessed a collapse in faith of one president and the rise of the fi rst African-American president, an invasion of two countries, the fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. We have seen Katrina, one of the most tragic hurricanes to hit US soil, an economic and housing crisis, the beginning of the social networks and their impacts on us, the Middle East and the world.

We have experienced a social-ized medical system, an increase of media control on public view, and a Congress that is too divided to cooperate to do what is best for the country as the Founding Fa-thers intended.

Almost ten years after the most

devastating attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor, justice was brought to Osama bin Lad-en in the form of a group Navy SEALs, their attack dog, and two bullets. We have all experienced so much in the last ten years.

Although many of the Taliban’s and Al Qaeda’s leaders and forces have been killed or captured, it is not the end of terrorism. Over four and a half thousand Ameri-can soldiers have been killed in action for the War of Terror, not to mention the brave 343 of FDNY and those killed on the four planes that crashed into the World Trade Center, the Penta-gon, and the fi eld in Pennsylva-nia. May we never forget their memory and sacrifi ce as we ap-proach this historic anniversary.

Many of our allies, such as the United Kingdom, have also suf-fered, and continue to suffer, the horror of terrorism . We must be grateful to these allies who have aided us in our endeavor to stop this global threat. Many attacks have been stopped thanks to our allies and our intelligence agen-cies and no further ones have claimed lives on US soil. How-ever, it will still be years, most

The Day that Shook America

likely decades, before we see how our actions have affected history and whether or not our fi ght in the Middle East was suc-cessful or not.

This is the time for the Ameri-can people to truly remember who we are. Things look bad: by the time we get to graduate we will still probably be in a world with debt, war, and politicians that are constantly in disagreement, but we have been through worse. We have spent twelve years in a re-cession and entered the most de-structive war in history after los-ing a large majority of our navy

and eighty-fi ve percent of our air force in a deadly sneak attack. Af-ter the American Revolution we were in major debt, hardly any military, and a weak government. There were times during the Civil War when the future looked like a world where America would dissolve and slavery would con-tinue. However during every one of these dark times the People of America have come together and pulled through to beat the odds. I want people to know that we will survive, the future has not been written yet, and there is hope.

The symbol of this hope will

be the One World Trade Center building (formerly known as the Freedom Tower). It will be tall-est building in the Unites States, standing 1,776 feet; a number that represents the year of the signing of the Declaration of In-dependence. It is scheduled to be complete in 2012. I know it is just another skyscraper to some peo-ple, but we should always think of it as symbol that no matter how badly any enemy hurts us we will always rebuild and never forget the innocent who died and those who died saving others.

Quit Staring at Your ChestBy ABBY FINKELMANThe Women’s Initiative

“I’m too pretty to do home-work, so my brother has to do it for me.” That’s the message that a recent (now pulled from the shelves) JCPenney sweatshirt was sending girls size 7-16. When I say that they were sending that message, I mean that those are the words printed on the shirt.

I hope no one reading this is shocked and horrified. Horrified, yes. Preteen girls being told that beauty and brains are mutually exclusive, with a side of sexism, is horrifying. But it is not shock-ing.

Setting aside the pink/princess/sparklyfairyunicorn issue (and setting aside the fact that you can purchase leopard-print high heels for 0-6 month olds), the clothing sold to preteen and teenage girls increasingly tells them that they are shallow, stupid, and fat. Wait, fat? Why would a t-shirt tell a girl that she is fat? Beats me, but that is what Urban Outfitters did last year when it sold a shirt that said simply: “Eat Less.”

We have covered stupid and fat. What about shallow? It was less publicized, but JCPenney had to stop selling another shirt, too: “Who has time to do home-work when there’s a new Justin Bieber album out?” Because, you see, intellectual pursuits are total-ly trumped by listening to music (apparently you cannot do both?). It is okay--girls do not need to do well in school, go to good col-leges, and get good jobs. They are pretty, so someone’s smart brother will take care of them.

That is what a girl should as-pire to: being with a man. That is why Sears sells a shirt with a graphic of two beavers. One is a girl (sparkly bow and shoes), and the other is a boy who looks fa-miliar. She has a wistful expres-sion. There are hearts emanating from her head, so we know she is in love. The caption? “Justin

Beaver’s Future Girlfriend”. I have not looked at every shirt out there, but I am fairly certain there is not one that says “Tay-lor Swift’s Future Boyfriend” (or whoever size 7-16 boys listen to, I do not know these things).

Some shirts are less openly of-fensive. Sears has another one: “Don’t think of it as losing. Think of it as getting beat by a GIRL.” At first glance, this is a positive message. At second glance, it is perpetuating the idea that being beaten by a girl is both note-worthy and, more importantly, shameful. It is actually impres-sive how they took something good (succeeding) and turned it into something misogynistic.

These are a few examples. You can go to the store and find oth-ers (as well as bikinis for your infant). I know this seems like a silly thing to get upset about, but as pressing as many other issues (domestic violence, choice, equal pay, maternity leave, etc) are, it is still important to remember that these girls are going to grow up. We have to remember that a girl who is told to aspire to being someone’s girlfriend is unlikely to aspire to being someone’s CEO (nor could she, since she has been focusing on her beauty and Bieber instead of homework). Remem-ber that a girl told every time she looks in the mirror to “eat less” is eventually going to see fat where there is not, and do just that. And remember that teaching our girls to be extra happy if they beat a boy is just subtly teaching them that they are not as good, and never will be.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

By REGINA IANNIZZOTTOOpinion Editor

In a previous class, my teacher asked us to remember our first memories of reading. I thought and thought—I could not think of anything. I remember certain parts of my childhood, but none of them consisted of reading. I remember hating naps in Kinder-garten. I remember the paper-ma-che pig in first grade. I remember forgetting my entire backpack in second grade making the day very difficult. I remember being em-barrassed for liking a boy in my class in third grade. I remember rushing through my work to help the teacher in the fourth grade. I remember my teacher always catching me with SweeTarts in my desk in fifth grade. However, none of these memories consist of reading.

Then, I remembered some-thing; Shel Silverstein. He is my favorite poet. He is funny and his rhymes are extremely catchy; they just roll off the tongue. In first grade, my teacher showed us the poem, “Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Gar- “Snowball”: A poem by Shel Silverstein

bage Out”. From that day on, every student in my class, when asked, begged and cried for that poem. It is all about what was in the large pile of garbage. Then fi-nally, when Sarah decides to take out the trash, it is piled up past the sky and impossible to get rid of. Now obviously this is an exag-geration. No parent would let the garbage pile up past the clouds, at least I hope. But still, listening to this poem and its alliterations like, “rubbery, blubbery maca-roni” entertained little old first grade me.

My favorite poem is “Snow-ball.” It took me until rediscov-

ering my youth from finding his books in the basement to remem-bering this genius poem. I had al-ways liked to read, but from that day on, after begging my parents for the Shel Silverstein books, I discovered reading to be an amazing discovery.

Has anyone else had a lapse in their childhood? I can only re-member the big things. I always feel bad when my parents tell me all of the stories to Disney World that we took, but I can never re-member them. Has that ever hap-pened to you, or am I the only one with this memory loss?

With the end of the Major League Baseball season ap-proaching, the question on most baseball fans mind is who will make the playoffs?

As it stands now in the Ameri-can League, the Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, and the Detroit Tigers are division leaders. Lead-ing in the American League wild card race are the New York Yan-kees.

In the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies, Milwau-kee Brewers, and the Arizona Diamondbacks are currenlty the division leaders. Leading the Na-tional League Wild Card are the Atlanta Braves.

My predictions for the World Series are the New York Yan-kees taking on the Philadelphia Phillies in a rematch of the 2009 World Series.

Both teams have some big hitters. The Yankees have play-ers like Curtis Granderson, Brett Gardner, and Mark Teixeira. The

Phillies have hitters such as Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino, and Chase Utley.

Any of these batters can score the winning run for their team, but the main battle is going to be between the pitchers for these two teams. The main pitching battle in the expected World Series will be between Yankees’ ace starter CC Sabathia and Phillies’ ace starter Cliff Lee.

Sabathia and Lee know each other well: not only were they for-mer teammates, but they pitched against each other in game one of the 2009 World Series. The Yankees will win the 2011 World Series in seven games with CC

Sabathia getting the World Series MVP.

After the regular season and post season, pitchers are not only concerned about next season but also the Cy Young Award. With such great pitchers this season, the Cy Young Award is going to be a close race. The top 5 pitchers to look out for are CC Sabathia, Cliff Lee, Josh Beckett, Roy Hal-laday, and Felix Hernandez.

With 27 games left in the regular season, only the players can dictate who makes it to the playoffs and eventually the 2011 World Series, as well as, wins the Cy Young Award.

Men’s Soccer Fall Short: Story on D12

September 7, 2011 Volume 80 Issue 3 The Saint Rose Chronicle D11Sports

This Thursday night, the Green Bay Packers prepare to host the New Orleans Saints to open the 2011 NFL regular season.

There are many story lines to follow in this upcoming series. Some story lines may already be answered by the time of the Thursday kickoff. The most noteworthy being, will Peyton Manning, whose consecutive start streak stands at 208, be un-der center for the Colts in Week 1?

Some may take the whole sea-son to follow, such as, can the Packers repeat? Can the Jets fi-

nally claim the AFC East crown from Tom Brady and the New England Patriots?

One big question is, is this the year that the Colts finally get knocked off in the AFC South? At times last year, the Colts didn’t look like themselves in the Pey-ton Manning era.

The Colts have missed the playoffs twice since Manning came into the league in 1998. They have now made the playoffs in nine straight years, but with Manning’s health in question, there is no way to know what to expect from them this year.

Michael Smith shares his thoughts on who we can expect to see in Indianapolis for Super Bowl XLVI

With that being said, all this could make Peyton a favorite for an all-time record fifth MVP. The Colts are a bad team without him and they need him to win, which is the true meaning of the Most Valuable Player award.

However, the award for Offen-sive Player of the Year will go to Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers. He has a rocket for an arm, he’s mo-bile and he’s going to lead Green Bay to back to back playoff ap-pearances.

Defensive Player of the Year is Ndamukong Suh. He’s a monster, and with Nick Fairley there, some of the pressure gets taken off of

Suh. Suh will be running free all year against quar-terbacks.

As for the divisions and the wild card in the NFC, with Michael Vick and a revamped defense, the Philadelphia Eagles will run away with the NFC East.

The Green Bay Packers, hav-ing gotten the monkey off their backs, will take the NFC North.

In the NFC South, the New Or-leans Saints will win this season, after getting the Wild Card berth last year and losing in the first round of the playoffs.

In the horrific NFC West, the 49ers quarterback troubles will doom them yet again in a winna-ble division that will go to the St. Louis Rams. Dallas and Atlanta will come out of the NFC as the wild cards.

The AFC East will go to the New York Jets, as they will, fi-nally, edge out New England. The

AFC North will go to Pittsburgh over Baltimore, again. Same sto-ry in the AFC South, Colts over Houston, again.

As for the west, the Chargers will take it from last year’s Cin-derella, the Chiefs. The Patriots and Baltimore will be the wild cards, leaving Houston out again.

The playoffs will end with a Super Bowl match-up between the Jets and the Eagles. The Jets will play well, but not well enough, leaving the Philadelphia Eagles as the Super Bowl Cham-pions, 45-35.

NFL fans are in for an incred-ible year. Are you ready for some football?

The Saint Rose women’s soc-cer team lost a good number of players this past season due to graduation, but good teams don’t rebuild, they reload and the Gold-en Knights did just that this past offseason.

The Saint Rose women’s soc-cer began their 2011 campaign with a strong win in a non-con-ference game against New York Institute of Technology last Thursday night at Sullivan Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex. The Golden Knights defeated the Bears in a 10-0 rout.

The Golden Knights attacked right from the get go and that lead to an early goal by Sophomore midfielder Sydney Bond with a header from a corner seven min-utes into the game. In the 23rd minute, Bond delivered an assist to Freshman forward Brittany Barry for a goal to make the lead 2-0.

Minutes later in the 33rd min-ute, Freshman forward Cenayda

Guzman delivered a strike from the right side to give the Golden Knights a 3-0 lead into halftime.

The Golden Knights didn’t lose a step in the second half and continued their rout. Less than two minutes into the second half, Guzman put away her second goal of the game from a corner kick.

The Golden Knights added another six goals in the second half to put away the Bears. Goals

came from Senior forward Brit-tany Godin, Junior forward Aoife Herbert, Sophomore midfielder Allison Schmidt, Sophomore forward Carmelina Puopolo, and Freshman forward Brittany Bar-ry.

Barry finished the night with a hat trick in her Saint Rose debut.

“It’s a good start to a very long season,” said Senior midfielder Christina Cuffari. “We still have a couple of things we need to work

on, but overall it’s definitely a good start.”

A strong defense made it an easy night for the goalkeepers. Sophomore Jessica Gerski started the game as goalkeeper for the Golden Knights. Freshman keep-er Lauren Minkoff came in the second half to complete the 10-0 shutout. Neither players were forced to make a save.

The Golden Knights were ranked 3rd in the NSCAA/Con-tinental Tire preseason poll. The Golden Knights look to continue to move up the rankings this sea-son and earn their way back to the Final Four.

The Golden Knights entered this season without their four-year central midfield starter Amanda Deck, who was also a conference MVP and an All-American.

The Golden Knights also lost two other All-Americans, Katie Whiting, starting center back, and Deanna Esposito, starting keeper.

“One thing we need to work on is just getting players used to new roles,” said Cuffari. “We lost a lot of seniors and everyone just has

Saint Rose Women’s Soccer Opens 2011 Season With WinBy JACKSON WANGSports Editor

to get their nervous out of their system and so we can move for-ward.”

This past weekend the Golden Knights traveled to unknown territories to take on the New Mexico Highlands Cowgirls in another non-conference game. The Golden Knights will open up NE-10 conference play today against Pace University at 5p.m. at Sullivan Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex.

On Friday afternoon, men’s soccer took on the Nyack War-riors in the first game of the Saint Rose Tournament. This was the first game of the season for the Knights.

The Golden Knights came out a little slow at first, but Senior goal-keeper Patrik Ohlsson kept the game scoreless with some stellar saves early on in the first half.

Though the Golden Knights had a little trouble pushing the ball down the field, their defense played fairly well. After allow-ing a couple of good shots against Ohlsson, they seemed to be set-tling in.

Midway through the first half,

the Golden Knights made their first substitutions, bringing in two freshmen, midfielder Steven Anderson and forward Jeff Ko-zlowski.

These two seemed to bring a new tempo into the game. The entire Knights team seemed to have a new energy, no longer were they being out run, and they constantly fought for the ball on every possession.

Saint Rose had a couple of scoring chances towards the end of the first half, but failed to re-ally get anything consistently go-ing. They only managed to get two shots off with neither one be-ing on goal.

The story of this game would prove to be the officiating. With just over three minutes into the

Golden Knights Fall Short to Warriors in Season Openersecond half, Paxton Ballard, a sophomore back for the Golden Knights, received his first yellow card, the fourth booking of the night for the Golden Knights.

Just two minutes later, Ballard tripped a Nyack forward on a breakaway, which led to an auto-matic red card, giving Ballard an ejection. This proved to be costly as Nyack Junior midfielder, Mar-co Likos, put his free kick oppor-tunity into the net.

At this point, the Golden Knights were playing at a disad-vantage with a man down, but watching the game it didn’t seem that way.

With just over 26 minutes left, Saint Rose had a corner kick that led to a beautiful crossing pass to setup a great scoring opportunity.

Unfortunately, an incredible save from Nyack’s Senior goalkeeper Adrian Ibanez kept the Golden Knights off the board.

Ibanez was truly phenomenal in the second half. All four of the Golden Knights’ shots on goal came in the second half and all four came on very good scoring chances.

With about 1:30 left in the game, Saint Rose matriculated the ball down the field and worked to kick a ball off the side post, in heartbreaking fashion. This would be the last scoring chance the Golden Knights would have, giving Nyack a 1-0 win.

Even though they lost, head coach Matt Jones was pleased with his team’s performance playing a man down for most of

the game. “I’m proud of the way we gen-

erated scoring chances a man down,” said Jones. “We fought through adversity to give our-selves a chance.”

Ohlsson was also pleased with the defense that played in front of him. “We played solid D today, especially when we were playing a man down,” said Ohlsson.

The Knights took on Mercy to wrap up the Saint Rose tourna-ment last Saturday. “We really haven’t had a chance to scout,” said Jones.

With the quick turnaround, the game scheduled less than 24 hours after the completion of Fri-day’s, Jones said he only wanted his Knights, “to go out and play well.”
