SCOPE Weekend Events: October
By Dan Osipovitch A weekly recap of the positives & negatives at UNH
Positives
Negatives
It was great having the Appellate Court come to UNH. Dodds Theater was jam-packed, which was a great thing to see. Having students see first-hand how such a case is argued is great experience-I know it’s difficult for a student to just randomly show up at court to see some case being argued. So instead, the court came here. Thanks for that experience!
One of the coolest movies of the summer, Wanted, had its free on-campus showing cancelled last weekend due to “unforeseen circumstances.” That’s a real bummer. I mean come on, even I of all people thought Angelina Jolie was hot in that movie. You can’t get much better than Angelina being able to shoot things around corners. She definitely outdid Lara Croft in this one!
The Topping Off Ceremony was interesting to say the least. We sat there and praised a piece of metal. Then it suddenly got swooped off the table, making a lot of people nervous with all the crane failures recently in NYC, and then filled in the final gap in the new dorm. The one question on everyone’s mind: why the heck is there a tree attached to the beam!?
This has been complained about for years. Literally years. And still, to no avail, it never seems to be consistently followed through with. The mailboxes should not be locked on the weekends. What if someone receives something important on Friday but cannot get to their mailbox until Saturday? I guess they are SOL since the mailboxes aren’t open on the weekends.

Why won’t UNH e-mail work on the weekends? This was the third weekend in a row where the UNH e-mail system was out of order.

amount of influence blacks have in politics, and the results proved that Obama would have a much easier time attaining the presidency if he were white. While approximately threequarters of blacks claimed that white people have too much influence in politics, only 12 percent of white Americans concurred. In fact, when asked if blacks have too little influence in the country’s politics,
three times as many blacks agreed than did whites. This separation of races in respect to beliefs can be attributed to the lack of racial relations in our country today. According to David Bositis, a writer at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, “There’s still a lot of estrangement out there…There’s still an enormous amount of segregation.” Racial discrimina-

Topping Off Ceremony Finishes Frame of New Hall it atop the new residence hall. Once t h e beam was in place, one of the construct i o n workers pulled out a Sharpie and, as a final
flourish, signed the beam himself. Four TV stations and the New Haven Register covered the news of the residence hall’s progress. A 400-bed apartmentstyle complex with top-floor views of New Haven and the Long Island Sound, it will be ready for occupancy in the 2009 academic year, which means this year’s seniors will never have a chance to live in it. That was made obvious by Louis Eswood
III, president of the Undergraduate Student Association, who said to the crowd, “As a senior at the university, I must say I am a bit jealous that I will never have the opportunity to reside in the building. But I am proud that the institution I have dedicated myself to for the past four years is growing and developing into a noteworthy institution that I am proud to be a part of.”

The UNH library pays for subscriptions to thousands of e-journals for your use. We have many databases which include their published articles– both general ones
with broad subject coverage, and subject specialty databases such as Criminal Justice Periodicals, PsychArticles, Literary, Science, and History Reference Centers. We also subscribe to collections from various publishers whose journals cover topics relevant to academics at UNH, such as Sage Publications and the IEEE Computer Soci-

You can find a great collection of these listed with under the Journals link on the library home page, along with the many journals which we pay for. E-journals provide many advantages to students. You can
search for your topic across many years of many journals at once by entering your keywords in the database or publishers collection search box. You can also open these journals from anywhere with a computer and your campus ID card. No pages in these journals will be damaged or torn out.

Limauro, Twisted Thursdays are aimed at providing students with an alternative activity other than going downtown. The programs started off with a taco social, followed by a chocolate fountain and stress balls the next week. Some upcoming events include game night with pizza and wings, a bowling trip, pumpkin carving and painting, a comedian, and loaded potatoes. “We are really trying to offer a variety of events so that we attract a variety of students,” said Limauro, “I’m hoping that as
weeks go by more and more students will start taking advantage of the things we plan.” Events are primarily planned to match week themes. For example, last week’s chocolate fountain and stress balls event was planned to emphasize Beat the Blues Week. Loaded potatoes will highlight Alcohol Awareness Week. When asked how the idea of Twisted Thursdays was started, Limauro explained that it was a collaborative process. “Greg Overend and I were talking and we
realized that Thursdays just didn’t have much to offer students on campus. After that, he assigned me to the project and I’ve been planning events ever since,” said Limauro. With two successful events already in the past, Twisted Thursdays show promise for getting plenty of student attention and interest. Anyone looking for something to do on a Thursday night should check them out. Look for announcements regarding upcoming Thursday programs from Student Activities.

Although the cases were interesting; the attorneys did not seem to be able to get their points across. It was as if they were not prepared enough, or possibly got a little nervous with the crowd of students
that were watching the proceedings. Nevertheless, the experience proved to be a very interesting and exciting one for UNH students from all majors. Hopefully the Appellate Court will come back again!

UNH Prepares for Semi-Annual Bartels Fellowship Lecture

DIRECTOR OF ADVANCEMENT COMMUNICATIONS
–––––––––––––––––
WEST HAVEN— ESPN is one of the biggest names in sports communications. Rosa Gatti,
who will be speaking at the semi-annual Bartels Lecture at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 2 in Dodds Theatre, is the woman who made ESPN a household name. As ESPN’s long-
time communications director, Gatti built the ESPN brand to where it is today. She will talk about the experience of building a successful brand, weaving in stories about her job as the first female sports information director at her alma mater, Villanova, then at Brown University. Members of the audience will have the opportunity during a question-and-answer session to ask her if it’s true that ESPN job applicants have to ace a sports trivia test in order to be hired at the network. The entire University community– students, faculty and staff–is encouraged to attend the lecture at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 2 in Dodds Theatre. Admission is free.

Keeping Our Campus Clean
Recently, it has dawned upon me that the university has become filled with trash. The area outside of the Quick Zone and Sandella's is constantly littered with napkins and wrappers of all sorts. It seems to bother me a bit that the students we have on campus complain that our campus doesn't look as nice as some other colleges. It’s not like the university hasn't provided the proper receptacles for trash. There is a trash can right between the Quick Zone
and Sandella's. Please let’s start using it. Also the area outside the first floor of Kaplan hall is flooded with cigarette butts. This seems like a pretty simple issue of placing a smoking receptacle there so students have a cleaner and safer place to dispose of their butts. Nevertheless, I assume it is easier for students to simply throw their butts on the ground and wait for someone else to pick it up. Please keep in mind that our cam-
Louis Eswood III USGA President pus can only be as clean as we make it. Throwing your garbage on the ground is not only harmful to the environment but disrespectful to the university. Please next time you have some trash, take a look around and find a garbage can.

Citywide Open Studios

–––––––––––––––––
For all those interested in art and local artists, this weekend, Oct. 3 to Oct. 5, Artspace will be holding a free city-wide open studio gallery showing. The hours are as follows: Friday, Oct. 3 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This is a great event because it hosts local artists in five chosen locations: downtown New Haven, West Haven, Fair Haven, Hamden, and Westville. There are bike and walking tours
from site to site which makes this a unique chance to get in some exercise while viewing the art. There are also bus shuttles from each site if walking or biking does not appeal to you. Each site sponsors several artists who have been handpicked by two jurors: one being a gallery owner and the other being a local art professor from schools such as Southern Connecticut State University and Yale. Sixty to 80 artists will be showcased in total, spread throughout the five selected galleries and several art studios in the area. The galleries are revived build-

eccentric artwork and have the chance to meet the talented artists who created it. Artists range in age, background, and genre of work, expressing great diversity and a real taste of what our state’s local artwork is all about. Again, this event is free and is a very interesting deviation from the usual weekend oncampus events. Take this chance to experience local art while it’s available for free.

Library Offers Numerous E-Journal Databases

There is value-added content to e-journals: many have hyperlinks to other related articles or web sites. The IEEE Computer Science Digital Library includes, along with full text of their journals and for the same price as their print journals alone, many hundreds of conference reports, which the faculty have said are essential for research in the field. Why did I men-

Well, in Google, and especially Google Scholar, search results include citations for many published journal articles. And if our library subscribes to the journal’s online version, and you are searching within the campus IP network, then you can often access this legitimate research source from Google.
If you haven’t already, please do jump into this great pool of scholarly research and general interest information on the Library web page of the UNH web site.

Let Me Think For Myself
We’ve all been there: that point midlecture, when your professor switches gears from talking about microbiology to preaching about politics. In some classes, with some professors, it almost seems inevitable. No matter what topic is being discussed, they find some way to work in their political opinions. I do not intend to infringe on any individual’s freedom of speech. However, I do find it to be disturbing when a person (other than a politician) uses his or her position of authority to not only promote their political beliefs, but to idealize them. Instructors should be encouraging students to develop their own thoughts and ideas. Unfortunately, many students take on the “if my teacher said it, it must be true” mentality. The majority of Americans are misinformed
or completely uninformed when it comes to our country’s political issues. The future depends on the minds of today’s youth, especially the minds that are supposed to be enlightened by college, but instead are being squandered by it. This political brainwashing does not just happen on the college level. Younger students, whose minds are even more malleable than our own, are being negatively influenced by their teacher’s opinions. My sister, who is a senior in high school, has a class in which the teacher is a huge fan of Obama. Each night she brings home homework that is Obama-focused. She has researched his background, his policies, and his overall views. And while Barack Obama has definitely stirred things up around the nation, last time I checked, there was another candidate
named John McCain. These students aren’t even going to realize that their teacher is being biased. They will simply accept that the only candidate who matters is the one that they have studied. If voicing an opinion was the furthest a professor ever went, this would not be an issue. However, rather than simply stating an opinion, or working it casually into conversation, select professors teach their opinions. They treat their very biased beliefs as facts, and present them in such a manner. Not only is this inaccurate, but it can also be insulting to a student who may not share those particular views. I’ve often heard that if a teacher tells you his political views, he is automatically a Democrat. Obviously, this is a great generalization and oversimplification, but there is some truth behind
it. In Connecticut, or even in the Northeast, the majority of the population has democratic beliefs, leaving Republicans in the minority. Therefore, individuals (professors included) often assume that they are surrounded by a group of Democrats. This leads those Democrats to feel comfortable in preaching their opinions, while leaving the few-and-far-between Republicans much more cautious. It would be impossible to attend classes in a completely unbiased atmosphere. Teachers should feel free to give their opinions, but only if they are willing to accept others’ opinions as well. Political opinions do not need to include criticism, hatred, accusations, or assumptions. And most importantly, opinions should be given, not taught. -Melanie Rovinsky, Staff Writer

Thank God for Football Fall is just beginning; the leaves are changing colors, the night is coming earlier. For a student, it means back to the tough school schedule and the end of summer fun. However, there is one great thing that comes with the season of fall: the season of football. Some tailgate, others cancel all Sunday activities, but one thing is the same: football fans of America all celebrate Football Sundays, Monday Nights, and occasional Saturdays and Thursdays. There are 17 consecutive weeks of this national holiday. I love it. I love the air, I love the atmosphere, I love the plays, the hits, the cheerleaders, the defense, the highlights, fantasy teams, and favorite teams. I love the National
Football League. Although I love playing every sport and watching every sport live, staying interested in a professional team entirely by watching televised games can only be accomplished in the NFL. Now some ask, “Why football? Why not baseball or basketball or soccer?” This is a question everyone can stop asking. It shouldn’t require an answer, but I’ll give you one just one last time. Let’s start with baseball. Baseball is boring. Don’t get me wrong, I like being at baseball games and I like the Yankees, but watching baseball on TV is like watching the same episode of Antiques Road Show over and over and over again. If you got season tickets or

know someone on the team, baseball is okay, but let’s get serious, there are so many steroids in the MLB who knows if your watching talent or a couple drugged up muscle heads swinging a toothpick? Finally, 162 games are just too many. I can’t stay interested for longer than a hour, how am I supposed to take three hours out of 162 times in my life, sometimes twice in the same day, to watch this garbage? I would rather let Michael Jackson baby-sit my kids. Basketball has so much potential; there are so many great offensive plays in the NBA. Yeah, its pretty fun to watch, until you see a team of five guys that get paid millions of dollars to just stick out their hands, reach for the ball and call it
defense. It just makes you angry and anyone that has ever played basketball knows it. I’ve played since I was just a little kid and defense is all about blood, sweat and hard work. I never got paid to play, and maybe that’s what it takes to remember to take pride in the work you put into your game. Soccer. Need I say more? I watched my high school’s soccer team face many opponents and they worked hard, possibly as hard as any athlete can. However, watching it on TV with a thick accent talking a mile-a-minute trying to give me the play by play just isn’t a good time for me. The worst part about soccer is the how no one cares about it; See GROUND page 14

over. It’s such a close race that we are not going to know the front-runner until the final results no matter what. So what’s the point of all the backand-forth campaigning? I haven’t heard anything new about either campaign for at least a month. A lot of it is pointing fingers and he-said she-said statements. I had to take a political poll in one of my classes and a section of it involved watching campaign commercials (about four of each). None of the ads told me anything about their respective platforms. Obama’s ads were all focused on saying McCain’s term would be “more of the same.” And McCain’s ads said that America is not ready for the changes that Obama wants to make. So
where are the facts? They definitely aren’t in biased network news or even newspapers most of the time. The Internet is swimming with opinions, false facts, and satires. I usually favor debates to get a grasp on campaign platforms. However, I’ve been so uninterested in this stagnant election that I was not interested in taking the time to watch boring debates on TV. I know I’m ruining the whole attempt to get young people to vote, but I’m pretty sure that I’m not going to vote at all (much to the disappointment of my father, I’m sure). I just don’t see a point in voting when I don’t really believe in anything the candidates are promoting. I’m just ready for this whole mess to be over.

Featured Interview: Behind the New Music Magazine PULP
“Cleveland Rocks” for 2009 Hall of Fame
By MIA BECKER STAFF WRITER
–––––––––––––––––
CLEVELAND— The opening theme to Drew Carey's sitcom The Drew Carey Show said it first: “Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks!” Well, Cleveland, Ohio is getting ready to rock again as they prepare for the 2009 Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame taking place this spring. Over the last week, the nominees were announced: nine artists, with only five being chosen to be inducted this year. The list of potential inductees range in cultural impact, musical influence, and genre: guitarist Jeff Beck, Disco band Chic, Queen of Rockabilly Wanda Jackson, R&B and Doo-Wop act Little Anthony and the Imperials, Head-Bangers Metallica, Punk legends The Stooges, Hip Hop pioneers RUN DMC, 70's funk
band WAR, and singer Bobby Womack. Artists find eligibility for nomination for the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after their first release. The twenty-fourth annual Induction to the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame will take place April 4, 2009 at Cleveland's Public Hall. Chosen inductees will be announced in January 2009, three months prior the event. This year marks a historic time for the hall of fame event: it's the first year that tickets will be available to the public. Tickets will be sold to museum members in advance, and a public sale will follow for all general tickets. All tickets will be sold through www. ticketmaster.com. For complete information about the ceremony, tickets, and information about the nominees visit http:// www.rockhall.com/.
Q: What motivated you to start this sister project with The Charger Bulletin? A: The project had great support from the beginning, which I think was the first real motivating factor. I wanted to start a music magazine on campus just through a large interest in what's happening within our school and events going on downtown. Our music program is such a large part of our school and I wanted to create an additional outlet for what's happening within the musical community. Q: What impact do you see this hav-
ing on the University of New Haven? A: Hopefully a positive one. Something that can really expand and shed insight into the local scene and expose some new talent-both on and off campus. I'd like the project to be able to continue for years to come. Q: What specific groups are you looking to get involved with? A: We're looking to be involved with all Music/Entertainment based clubs on campus-especially MEISA, because it's one of the largest. Any club/groups that would be interested
in teaming up with our publication, let us know! Q: Tell us a little bit about what topics you will be covering. A: A solid range of topics: various events happening on campus (concerts, club events), upcoming shows within the CT area, new music releases, conferences and news within the Music Industry, and features on local artists in the area, both on and off campus. Q: Can non-music majors help with this publication? A: Definitely! Just having a general love for music is key. Any-
one is welcome to join our staff. Everyone's musical tastes and musical experiences are so different. Contact PULPmagazine@ newhaven.edu with questions or intent of interest! Q: Will this be in a print format anytime? A: We'd like to be eventually. We're looking to expand the project into print in the future, maybe by next year. There are advantages to being published online and advantages to being physically published. But having a great public response, as well as being printed is our ultimate goal.

WA L L I N G F O R D , Conn.—When 21-year-old Dave Estes, from Wallingford, Conn., received the news that he had been chosen to display his artwork at Artspace’s annual citywide open studio, he was ecstatic. Never displaying his artwork for the public, this will be a new experience for Estes, who seeks to one day make a living from his paintings. Estes started drawing in middle school, realizing his talent somewhere between seventh and eighth grade, as his abilities far surpassed his peers. Once he reached high school, he decided he wanted to pursue the difficult life of an artist. He taught himself how to paint, knowing this was the only way he could truly make a

Yankee Stadium Goes Competition Heats Up Out with Class for RECSports
By JOHN OKO
SPORTS WRITER
–––––––––––––––––
A few weeks ago, I gave my opinions on the Yankees getting a new stadium and how I did not like the idea of it at all. But after watching the final home game on Sunday night, Sept. 21, I give the Yankees organization all the credit in the world on how they conducted the ceremony as well as the entire day. The gates opened at 1:00 in the afternoon on the day of the final game. This let fans that had tickets to the game enjoy the sights of Yankee Stadium for one last time. Fans got to visit Monument Park for one last time. Fans also were treated to the opportunity to walk along the warning track off Yankee Stadium and be on the field to experience Yankee Stadium from a different vantage point. Then around 7:00 p.m. the ceremonies began. Fans were treated to the voice of long time public address announcer Bob Sheppard who has been ill all year. Via a recorded message Sheppard welcomed everyone to Yankee Stadium for one last
time and said he hoped to seen everyone next year at the new Yankee Stadium. Fans were then treated by the unveiling of the 1922 American League championship flag that was raised on the first opening day, in 1923. Fans were then treated to the first lineup that took the field on opening day in 1923. Actors played all the greats such as Babe Ruth as they took the field. Then the Yankees took the fans throughout the years by bringing out the great Yankees of each position. The living Yankee greats took their positions in front of a sold out crowd. The children of other legendary players also took the field including Randy Maris, Michael Munson, David Mantle as well as others. One of the more emotional moments of the night was when the Yankee center fielders were announced and Bobby Murcer’s wife and children came out to center field to a great ovation. The biggest response of the night was by far for Bernie Williams who was finally making his return the legendary cathedral. Williams was standing in
center field and was given a two-minute standing ovation. The ceremonial first pitch was thrown by Julia Ruth Stevens, who is the daughter of Babe Ruth. Julia was all smiles as she bounced the first pitch to Jorge Posada. After the ceremonies had finished there still was a game to be played. It could not have been written any more perfectly. The Yankees won 7-3. A Yankee was the final player to hit a homerun. Derek Jeter was pulled off the field with two outs in the ninth to a standing ovation. And Mariano Rivera recorded the last out at Yankee Stadium. It could not have been a better night. Derek Jeter then gave a speech with all his teammates surrounding him. Jeter thanked the fans for their support for 85 years and said he hopes they carry over across the street to the new stadium. The Yankees then took a final lap around the field giving the fans one last thing to remember on what was a truly remarkable night not only in Yankees history but in baseball history.
College. The Chargers fall to 5-4-1 overall and 3-2-0 in the NE10 this season. After holding the Greyhounds scoreless the entire first half the Chargers allowed three goals in the second half to drop their second NE-10 contest of the season. As-
sumption scored goals in the 48th, 65th and 75th minutes to secure their fourth victory of the season. Selina Moylan had the Chargers best chance at scoring at the 65:52 mark when she riffled a shot that was saved by the Assumption goalkeeper.

On Tuesday, Sept. 16, Lindsey Buckingham, the famed and oft-overlooked musical engine behind Fleetwood Mac, released his fifth solo album. Gift of Screws is Buckingham’s fifth solo project since his 1987 departure from Fleetwood Mac. Though Buckingham was the mastermind behind Fleetwood Mac’s bestselling 1975 album Rumours, which according to the Recording Industry Association of America has sold approximately 19 million copies, he remains surprisingly under the radar. Indeed, in one of the tracks off Buckingham’s 2006 Under the Skin, he sings “reading the paper, saw a review, said I was a
visionary, but nobody knew.” But with Gift of Screws, Buckingham bursts back onto the scene with raw vocal expression, scathingly brilliant guitar work and an attitude of freshness not seen in a fifty-something musician in quite a long while. Contrast these qualities with 2006’s Under the Skin and you find a very interesting parallel. Buckingham’s music is always introspective. Under the Skin finds that personal reflection in a folksy, sweeping, almost ballad-like sense. Gift of Screws is driven by a more rock-oriented feel; it might even be considered an improvement on Buckingham’s 1991 Out of the Cradle, an album huge in scope and artistic progression. Gift of Screws has plenty of moments
where the listener recognizes Buckingham’s signature guitar finger-picking, a method he utilized while in Fleetwood Mac and on all of his solo projects. In the opener “Great Day” there is a solo that Rolling Stone describes as “so blowtorch-hot, it seems specifically designed to bitch-slap anyone with the nerve to wonder if Lindsey Buckingham still rocks.” “Right Place to Fade” is a song that is directly reminiscent of a Fleetwood Mac rock piece, and that is nothing to complain about. Indeed, Lindsey does still rock and will continue to do so if Gift of Screws is any indication. Buckingham has a tour scheduled for this fall and will be at the Ridgefield Playhouse on Wednesday, Oct. 15.

All Hail Football
con’t from page 7
many might not even know soccer has a major league. You’ll never hear about the Chicago Fire’s 4-1 loss to FC Dallas (actually happened), because no one cares enough! Call it sad, call it a shame, I call it no fun. But football, ah football. There is never a dull moment; there is a hit every play and who knows where it will come from. It pumps you up to see a quarterback or runningback get buried like a casket after a funeral. It pumps you up to see a quarterback throw the ball like a rocket and have it caught in the end zone and held
onto as the receiver gets nailed like a shingle on a roof. You don’t sit on the edge of your seat when you’re watching a game with a fan of the opposing team; you stand up, scream for every touchdown and boo for every bad play. So to all my football fans, my “cheesehead”-wearing, “terrible towel”waving, “Viking helmet”-owning fellow football fans: on Saturday night, when you’re living your normal lives counting the hours and minutes till Sunday at one (time of the first football game), when you watch your clock at work or school just waiting till it strikes
time to go home and get everything done before nine (Monday Night Football), remember that you are part of the most exciting, fan-friendly sport in America. And when you are with your friends and you feel your blood pressure start to rise with your heart rate as you stand in front of the TV with a cold one and a bowl of Nutzels, thank god for this great sport. Then turn to one of your friends and yell/ ask him like you mean it, “Are you ready for some football?!” Cause this is what we live for. -Matthew Ezzo, Staff Writer
