A JILLIAN CAFARCHIO PHOTOThe UNH hockey team lines up to salute the flag at their first game against UMASS.

Every four years in Oc-tober, the presidential can-didates gather to debate the topics that many deem to be the most influential to the coming year. Every four years, the vice presidents also gather-for only one debate-to back their run-ning mates and to establish themselves as politicians and presidential backups. Every year the vice presi-dential debates go smooth-ly and, essentially, unmen-tioned.

However, this year was different. For the first time since the Bush/Gore elec-tions, the presidential race seems almost neck and neck in the poles. For the first time, the vice presi-dential nominees are acting as the swing vote for young voters.

The debates started off simply enough, with ques-

tions focused on the eco-nomic crisis and taxation plans. Senator Joe Biden, the running mate of dem-ocratic nominee Barack Obama, mentioned the taxation plans they have to

limit increases on the stan-dard American family and only tax those that make above $250,000 a year.

Governor Sarah Palin, the running mate of repub-lican nominee John Mc-

Cain, talked about the importance to weed out the greed and corruption in Wall Street and de-regulate big spend-ing. Both stressed the need to fix the financial situation, although it seemed like Biden actually presented solutions while Palin merely spoke of the warn-ing messages that McCain had given beforehand.

The candidates then spoke about foreign policy and America’s role in in-terventions, nuclear weapons, and geno-cide conflicts. CNN polls showed that

Americans favored both Biden and Palin as they analyzed and critiqued the current handlings of for-eign policy. Palin offered

Students Revive UNH Hockey TeamBy ZACK ROSENASSISTANT EDITOR

–––––––––––––––––––––

WEST HAVEN—Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the University of New Haven had a Division III hockey team. Unfor-tunately this quickly dis-persed and as the university started to rapidly grow, the hockey team was quickly forgotten by most. But not all.

Over the summer, fresh-man Jeff Cafarchio (right wing) contacted the Office of Student Activities to re-instate the UNH hockey

team. Quick-ly after this spread across cam-pus, sopho-more Alex Wesolowski (right wing), junior Mike K a p l a n ( g o a l i e ) , and junior Chris Rinck ( d e f e n s e ) hopped on board. They quickly es-tablished the team, which is now recognized in Divi-sion II ACHA.

While 60 students ap-peared for the team’s initial tryouts, a note to be made

James Hilaire, according to the update website, seems to be doing very well considering the circumstances. I’m happy for the support I’ve seen around campus and I’m pretty sure by now everyone knows his name and his face. For now, we can keep hoping that the updates get better and better.

After how many years of com-plaints and student witnessing of the atrociously hot conditions at Sand-ella’s did they finally put in an air conditioner? Oh and in what month? Not a hot one, but a cold one. Well it’s FINALLY there, and hopefully it’ll do some good. Except for when it spits water all of the stu-dents walking in to get dinner.

Family Day was a success! According to G r e g O v e r -end, there were a record 1,200 families in atten-dance. Students a n d f a m i l i e s al ike enjoyed the many festivi-ties, including the inflatable fun fest and bamboo plants.

Hearsay says there was an elec-trical fire at New Hall which caused the cafeteria and game room to close. I love how the school doesn’t tell us the truth about anything—they love to hide information: “New Hall is closed” not “There was a fire and New Hall is closed.” I’m now con-cerned for the safety of those that live above and those who work behind the cafeteria.

Again with no information! The NEWS gave more information about the shooting than the school! How the hell can you prance around proudly bragging about our state-of-the-art text messaging service in wake of

the shootings in Virginia and then when there actually IS

a shooting decide it’s safer not to use

it?! And then, not tell us jack about the situ-ation that actu-ally happened? We want apolo-gies, we want answers, and we want to feel safe again.

Can we start putting the heat on? I’m cold.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden, speaks during a vice presi-dential debate at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., Thursday, Oct. 2, 2008.

Running-mates Go Head-to-Head in Vice Presidential Candidate Debate

hope for American aid in Israel and Biden promised change in Darfur and a timeline for troop withdrawal.

The candidates also debated on issues of same-sex marriage, global warming, and the definitive role of the Vice President. Each side offered up different opinions and created some of the most memorable speeches of the de-bate. Governor Sarah Palin wowed audienc-es as she referred to the average American as “Joe Six Pack” and called Senator Biden and Senator Obama out for their waver-ing truths about poli-cies. Biden shot down the notion that John McCain is a maver-ick (catch the Tom Cruise reference?) and reached out to

A m e r i c a n s with family in the war.

Of course, every debate is not with-out its rough spots. Biden occasionally got tongue tied and Palin seemed un-likely to actu-ally answer a question with-out skipping back to an old idea. Biden poked fun at Palin’s home-ly Alaskan roots with a mention of the bridge to nowhere and Palin brought about one of the most emotional moments of the de-bate by suggesting the Biden was unaware of what being a single parent was like.

Despite her lack

of experience and his ability to be standoff-ish, the vice presiden-tial debate proved to be better than expect-ed. While many polls are showing Senator Joe Biden to be the winner, many believe that Governor Sarah

Palin held her own and will make a for-midable opponent in the next month. Tune in for the next set of debates, and head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 4 to support your candidate.

WA S H I N G T O N , D.C.—President Bush signed a revised ver-sion of the $700 bil-lion bailout bill Friday, Oct. 3 after a week of worldwide economic turmoil following the House’s failure to pass the initial rescue plan.

When the House rejected the first bill, it resulted in plum-meting stocks and the biggest single-day point loss in the his-tory of the U.S. stock market. As stockhold-ers watched the House struggling to pass the bill, more and more of them began to sell

Revised Ballout Bill Passes with Minimal Promises

their stocks. Con-gress’s hesitancy in spending $700 billion, in essence, caused the market to lose $1.2 trillion. Markets in Ja-pan, Belgium, France, and Germany all suf-fered as it became obvious that it would take some time before the U.S. debt problems were rectified. Other factors leading to the huge drop included news that Wachovia had sold its assets to Citigroup and that a number of European banks had gone under.

What caused the House to pass the revised bill? The amended bill had few revisions, including $100 million in tax

breaks for businesses and the middle class, as well as raising the federal deposit insur-ance to $250,000. These revisions ap-pear to be negligible in an economy that is suffering so much. Many Washington in-siders feel that the bill was passed simply be-cause something had to be done.

Although the bail-out bill was signed into law, the work is not finished. The bill is the most govern-ment intervention the private market has seen since the Great Depression, and it is uncertain whether more government in-volvement will be is-

sued in the future.“It’s complicated,

and we’re going to make sure whatever we do is done in a deliberative fashion,” President Bush stated after signing the bill.

According to Mi-chael Farr, investment counselor, author, and CNBC contributor, this bill will not fix the economy. He believes that because of the economic cycle, it will be a year or so before any great improve-ment is noticeable. Farr and others view the bill not as a solu-tion to the problem, but as a temporary fix to keep the economy afloat.

Northern California bus crash leaves 10 deadWILLIAMS, Calif.—A casino-bound charter bus flipped over about 10 miles from its desti-nation, ejecting passengers and crushing others as it rolled into a ditch. Ten people died and dozens of others were injured.

California Highway Patrol officials said the bus crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday on a ru-ral road near Williams — about 60 miles north of Sacramento — as it headed to Colusa Ca-sino Resort from Sacramento.

California Highway Patrol Commander Fran Clader said Monday that 10 people were dead and estimated that 35 others were injured.

"It looks like they were going up to the ca-sino to have a good time," Clader said. "Unfor-tunately, it resulted in tragedy."

Firefighters used flashlights and infrared sen-sors to search the tall grass near the overturned bus Sunday night for more possible bodies, but by early Monday were certain that they had ac-counted for all the victims. The mud-covered bus was pulled from the ditch and was on a large tow truck.

Just before the accident, the bus drifted to one side of the road for about half a mile before the driver "overcorrected" and swerved back. The bus rolled over, ejecting some of its pas-sengers before it landed right side up in a ditch, CHP spokesman Patrick Landreth said.

"The roof was collapsed down, the windows were broken out, and the bus was not only rolled over onto its side, it rolled completely over," Landreth said. "It was facing the oppo-site direction and it was on its wheels."

Authorities had not determined the name of the charter company early Monday morning. They did not release the name of the driver.

Conn. officials still checking for 'dead vot-ers'HARTFORD—Connecticut Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz (BYE-suh-wits) says a review of state voter lists for names of dead people won't be finished by the November 4 election.

The review has been going on for six months, ever since University of Connecticut journal-ism students found that about 8,500 dead peo-ple were registered to vote in the state.

State election officials have found no evi-dence of election fraud. Bysiewicz says 5,300 people on voter lists have been confirmed as having died, another 1,300 are under review and the rest of the errors were corrected through the normal voter registration process.

Bysiewicz says she wants to correct the problems as quickly as possible, but doesn't want to be overzealous and possibly disenfran-chise some people.

As we all know, going green has been an ongoing force for quite a while now. For some, hearing “going green” can seem like a huge deal and way too far of a reach. For others, hearing “going green” can be an ev-eryday task. The uni-versity has recently gone green with the addition of recycling bins in the residence halls and the cafete-ria. As students of the university and as resi-dents of the earth we need to take our part by going green. Go-ing green isn’t as hard as you may think and it may also help you save money. As col-lege students, we all need to save money as much as possible. Below are a few sim-ple tips to make your dorm room “green.”

•Add plants to

your space, this adds oxygen to the air and could possibly help you breathe better and take away unwanted odors in the air.

•Use washable sil-verware and plates, by doing this you are keeping those plastic plates and silverware out of the landfills. (The only way this one will work is if you don’t keep the water running while you are doing your dishes)

•Place a lamp in your dorm room with compact florescent bulbs or LED lights. Use these lights in-stead of the florescent lights in the dorm rooms, it cuts down on the energy that the florescent light bulbs take and they last lon-ger than the incandes-cent light bulbs.

•Take shorter show-ers in the morning, and cut down to one shower a day if you take more than one.

•Use Brita water

pitchers and a reusable water bottle instead of buying cases of water bottles that continue to pile up in landfills.

•Unplug items that aren’t in use all the time such as your mi-crowave. Even though they aren’t running they are still using power and most mi-crowaves have clocks on them which also take up power.

•Buy a drying rack for your clothes in-stead of putting them in the dryer, this cuts down on energy used and it will save you money!

These tips are sim-ple and easy to do in your everyday life. If you do not use all of them, you can cer-tainly use one or two. By practicing the tips above in everyday life, you are helping to save the earth and make a healthier place for you and your fam-ily to live.

At our Sept. 30 meeting, President Kaplan came to hear from students what they would like to see happen on campus. As always, our students were not shy. Many of your representatives from both the House of Representatives as well as the Senate brought up ideas that should be implement-ed immediately.

Students spoke about the amount of litter on campus and the need for more gar-bage receptacles in heavily-populated ar-eas, which was ironi-cally the subject of my article last week. A

member of the House of Representatives brought up the fact that the desks in many of the rooms are small, broken, and in need of replacement. Many students spoke about dinning services and possibly extending the dining hours both for breakfast as well as extending hours for dinner and opening up Sandellas earlier to ease the load on the Echlin Dining Hall.

President Kaplan also spoke about how the university has add-ed 24 laptop comput-ers in the library which students can borrow from the circulation

desk. This brings the total number of lap-tops in the library to 36, which means their are now 90 total com-puter units available in the library. They will also be upgrading their wireless in the library to a new high-speed system as well as adding two addi-tional print stations.

Fires Cost More Than the War in Iraq?

WEST HAVEN—This week is Fire Prevention Week, a national campaign sponsored by the Na-tional Fire Protection Association(NFPA). The primary goal of Fire Prevention Week is to bring national awareness to the deadly effects of fire in an effort to educate people in saving their own life as well as others.

While this is a no-ble cause, this year’s fire prevention week brings up a very sig-nificant new view on how devastating fires can actually be. The majority of Ameri-cans are following the ongoing presidential election and as both John McCain and Bar-rack Obama remind us, the United States is fighting a war in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of the ongoing

campaign ads and media attention have brought to light that the American people are spending $10 bil-lion a month fighting the war in Iraq.

In February of 2008 the NFPA released a report titled "The Total Cost of Fire in The United States" which estimated the total annual cost of fires in America is $267-294 billion, or roughly 2 to 2.5% of the US gross domes-tic product (GDP). If you break that down, Americans spend roughly $24.5 billion a month due to fires.

Yup, you figured it out, that's more than double the amount of money we are spend-ing fighting the war in Iraq. Maybe the me-dia and the presiden-tial candidates should spend some time de-bating about how one of the most sophis-ticated and richest countries in the world has one of the largest

and most expensive fire problems. With the economy sinking in a hole and a $700 billion bailout plan just passed, someone should tell congress we can pay back that money in just four years if we addressed our fire problem.

This year's theme for fire prevention week is "Prevent Home Fires." While the theme is aimed at preventing people from dying in their own homes, where we kill the most Ameri-cans, maybe we should think about the simple steps you can take to stop the fire altogeth-er. If we prevent the fire from starting, we can stop killing people and we can save a ton on money. So use your candles carefully, and NEVER leave your cooking unattended! Let’s think about all the money we can save!

UNH: University of No Heart?Last week, around

1:30 in the morn-ing on Friday, Oct. 3, there was a shooting that occurred on cam-pus near Forest Hills, around the intersec-tion of Isadore and Tile. Two non-UNH individuals, aged 18 and 27, got into an al-tercation with a larger group of people who tried to rob them.

According to WHPD Officer An-gel Moscato, “the two male victims were walking along Isadore Street. They were ap-proached by a larger group of males. An altercation occurred. Shots were fired. The two male victims were struck. They ran over for safety to Tile Street.”

As of Friday night, both victims were in the hospital in stable condition. Police, so

far, have made no ar-rests.

Around the time of the Virginia Tech massacre, the Univer-sity of New Haven implemented a new text messaging system to alert students, staff, and faculty of emer-gency conditions. The last message sent on this system was on Feb. 22, 2008, to an-nounce that UNH was closed due to wintry weather. On Friday, Oct. 3, with students walking around cam-pus and going to and from Forest Hills, no text message was sent out warning them of a shooting and a po-tentially dangerous situation for these stu-dents.

Of course these things are rare in this area and will hopeful-ly not happen again. But the fact is, there

was no apology to stu-dents or parents–just notice that a mistake was made. Somebody high up thought that not implementing the system was the best route. According to multiple sources, the university felt that students didn’t need to be woken. Bull-to-the-freakin’-shit. There are always students up and about at all hours, and they need to know if they’re about to walk into a poten-tially deadly situation or not. As a student, I demand that whoever made this terrible de-cision make a public apology to my fellow students and myself.

Campus security is something that we all take for granted, and expect UNH to be way above par on. But on Saturday, as I was walking up towards

the German Club with a few people, I saw someone–probably homeless–digging through the dumpster behind Botwinik. For something that I have now witnessed more than 10 times at UNH, I called CP to take care of this situation. When I walked back past the dumpster an officer had not yet ar-rived, but some cus-todians were walking towards the dumpster. “Oh good!” thought I. But much to my dis-appointment, the cus-todians said “hi” to the homeless man and went on their way.

There is a terribly unacceptable problem with this university when one day a shoot-ing occurs on a loca-tion that is right next to our campus, and the next day people who are unauthorized

to be on our campus are digging through our dumpsters. And on Family Day, too. I hope for the univer-sity’s sake that I was the only one to see this occurrence, and that no parents saw it.

How embarrassing for our campus.

Practically every university has some sort of protection around it. At UNH, we pride ourselves–as we should–on a great Campus Police

department. But in terms of actual physi-cal protection, such as fences or a gate, there is nothing. My middle school had better pro-tection.

It shouldn’t take a shooting to increase shuttle service to and from Forest Hills, but it did. Before something worse happens, let’s make the UNH more secure and put in some fences. We’re known for our top-notch po-lice, our Criminal Jus-tice program, and our safe campus. Let’s be known for treating our students in a way that will make them feel safe. Use the damn text messaging ser-vice, build us some fences, and actually do your jobs. Don’t only protect us, but make us feel protected as well.

A Well-Timed Campus Safety EditorialI know it’s pretty

lame and predictable for me to write an arti-cle about campus safe-ty right after a shoot-ing happened next to campus. Ironically, I was planning on writ-ing this a week ago, so now its timing is even better than it would have been without the shooting.

While Zack’s edito-rial covers the shoot-ing situation pretty well, there’s more to the story that many administrators fail to realize.

Residents have never been safe on this campus and they probably never will be because there has been a consistent lack of attention paid to-wards their safety in all four years that I’ve lived here.

This semester, ex-tra attention has been directed toward com-

muters’ safety (due to commuters complain-ing about their safety). Lights were upgraded

when they have night classes. Funny, there was a parking lot there before all these pre-cautions were put into place.

Residents parked behind Winchester last year without good lighting, without a path to walk in, with-out a security camera, and without a guard. I know that every time I turned the corner behind Winchester that had maintenance trucks parked there, I anticipated some-one waiting there, in the dark, for an un-suspecting student to walk by. Fortunately, that day never came to fruition. So we lucked out. That doesn’t mean we were safe.

What kills me, is you would think that the school would take more precautions to make residents safer if they were going

through the same pre-cautions making com-muters safer.

The new resident lot is further away than the old one is. Yet I was never told that a security camera was being put in. Lighting is mediocre and even non-existent where the street curves up from the Winchester parking lot. There is also no call box (even though there is a shiny new one in the commuter lot). That fence? What a barrier! It’s never closed when it’s supposed to be and even when it’s closed, there are still plenty of ways to get onto campus. I have a pret-ty good feeling that the only reason that fence is there is so the residents on Isadore St. aren’t bothered at night. I wonder if our safety was even in consideration.

In truth, that fence just causes more prob-lems. It is so unsafe walking or driving from the back of Win-chester to Pruden St. and vice versa. That mirror that is sup-posed to show you if a car is turning the corner from the op-posite way—it’s been broken all semester. There’s also barely enough room for two lanes of traffic.

And what about resident students with night classes? I’ve had plenty of classes that required me to walk from Kaplan to Winchester at 10:00 p.m. alone. With no guard looking out for me. An even worse route is from Haru-gari, which requires students to walk down an uncontrollable, res-idential street with ter-rible lighting. Alone. So while shuttle ser-

vices to Forest Hills have been increased, the rest of us are left out to dry.

There’s a big dif-ference between put-ting in an effect and blatantly disregard-ing the well-being of a particular group of people. Catering to a particular group of people (a group that pays less money to go here and doesn’t actu-ally live here, by the way) is more than just rude, it’s disrespect-ful. We have a right to feel safe too. I doubt commuters go home and fear walking to their cars as they sit in their driveways. I sure fear walking to mine. But does it matter?

Students shouldn’t have to complain in order to make people care about our safety. But, the commuters had their turn, now we deserve ours.

behind Winchester, a walking path was out-lined in the same area, a security camera was installed on the back corner of Win-chester, and a guard stands between Win-chester and Sheffield for hours. All of these steps were taken to make the commuters feel better about park-ing behind Winchester

The EscargotRestaurant Reviews by Kaitlyn GlattCOSÌ- Off Broadway, New Haven

My Favorite Thing: the S’moresType of Food: Sandwich/Soup/Pizza

Average Meal Cost: $10.00-$15.00 per person

Overall Rating:Four Stars out of Five

Just off Broadway I recently wandered into COSÌ, a sandwich shop that is open un-til 9 p.m. Arriving at 8:30, I felt bad to order what I did but ordered it anyway. It was right after Wine Apprecia-tion and my friend and I were craving some nice hearty sandwich-es and chocolate.

As we walked in, we looked at the menu to the left of the door. It's huge, you can't miss it. Both of us de-cided on the Grilled Chicken T.B.M. Melt ($7.49), one on white

and one on wheat. One thing I noticed though is that the S'more Fire Pit that I heard a lot about was not on the menu (although, it is on the website, I checked). I ordered it anyway to see if they still made it and sure enough, they did.

We sat down and after about 10 min-utes received our sandwiches. The cook brought our sandwich-es to the table because they were closed and there were very few people in the restau-rant. I appreciated the

hospitality, and started eating right away.

The mozzarella on the sandwich was out-standing and gooey, and the chicken was thoroughly cooked without being dry. One thing I was al-ways intrigued about with COSÌ is how they make their bread. It is hard to describe the taste, but I will do my best. Think pretzel crunch meets toasted bread.Yum. My friend must have really liked his sandwich because he finished it in a matter of minutes.

I, on the other hand, wrapped up half of the huge sandwich for the next day's lunch.

When we were stuffed, we remem-bered we ordered s'mores so we told the cook we were ready for it and he brought it over. It was a tiny ce-ramic oven with a fire lit by butane, on top of a wooden holder that included enough supplies and sticks for four s'mores. It was probably the cutest thing I've ever seen at a restaurant. So guys and girls: surprise

your special some-one with this dessert. They'll die from the romance!

By now it was 9:45 p.m. and I was ready to leave the restaurant so they could clean up and go home. I was incredibly impressed that they did not try to force us out at 9 just because that was the time on the door. They treated us with great hospitality and that, besides the awesome food, gives them the amount of stars that they deserve.

Even though this

place is in a bunch of cities across the coun-try, I still believe it was worth reviewing. The delicious meals and unbelievable staff made me realize that some restaurant own-ers know what they're doing especially if they're able to dupli-cate impeccable food and service across the region. If you haven't tried COSÌ yet, you should soon. Cutest sandwich shop in New Haven.

suggestions!

I would like to start out by saying that this book was well worth the wait! Brisingr by Christopher Paolini does not fail to im-press as it continues to chronicle the adven-tures of Eragon and the dragon Saphira.

This next book in the Inheritance Cycle picks up where Eldest leaves off and finds Eragon, Roran, and Saphira hunting their foes the Ra’zac. The action starts here and doesn’t stop, even at the end of the novel.

The story continues

Author Paolini Delivers Anticipated Sequel

with all the elements of an epic adventure:

action, adventure, suspense, and even a little romance thrown into the mix. Paolini ties all of these ele-ments into a cohesive, wonderful to read sto-ry that leaves readers waiting desperately for the next, and final, installment of the In-heritance Cycle.

Personally, I don’t enjoy the trend series seem to take that in-cludes the killing off of at least one major character each sto-ry. It almost feels as though after killing off a major character, authors feel that they must kill off another in the next book to keep their readers in-

terested. I completely understand that many of these deaths make up an integral part of the story line in any series, but it seems a little suspect that the deaths fall exactly once per novel and close to the end.

Since the continu-ation of this theme is the only real “issue” I have with this story, I can’t really complain.

I feel that the re-lease of spoilers was handled masterfully if frustrating from the perspective of the person waiting for the book release. No spoiler gave away any information from which readers could

infer large sections of the plot. In retrospect, some of the spoilers were fairly lacklus-ter compared to the rest of the novel, but that’s the whole point so job well done!

I suggest that any person interested in dragons, elves, dwarves, humans, and many others in-tertwining into a fantastic fantasy se-ries read Brisingr by Christopher Paolini. If you are so behind as to have not read the first two novels read them…ASAP!

Cold War Kids have taken the world by storm over the past three years. Their blues-influenced in-die-style rock is re-freshing in a world of alternative rock mo-notony, and the gen-eral public tends to agree.

Their latest album, Loyalty to Loyalty, is just what we expect from them and more. Like their previous album, 2006’s Rob-bers and Cowards, the band delivers the same unique sound, but with more beats mixed in and guitar to create music that can only be described as

Cold War Kids Return With Second Albumhappy by fans.

A more public-friendly album, the tracks on Loyalty do not disappoint when it comes to the poignant lyrics that we have come to expect from Cold War Kids, but have also combined some key elements from the more generic alternative rock scene already embraced by thousands across the globe. And this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Band members Nathan Willett, Matt Maust, Jonnie Rus-sell, and Matt Aveiro have written very un-sympathetic lyrics that benefit greatly from Willett’s soulful vo-cals. Their more popu-lar song off of the new

album, “Something is not Right with Me,” is an obvious example. The song is a fast-paced masterpiece with a catchy beat that basically depicts hysteria, but in such a punchy way, it’s hard to sit still while lis-tening. Like much of their music, it’s a clear declaration expressed with such a convinc-ing tone that it comes across as though lead singer Nathan Willett wants to tell someone off but in a rather elo-quently-phrased man-ner.

Other songs off of Loyalty to Loyalty that are worthy of praise include “Every Val-ley is not a Lake” and “Relief.” Both com-bine the band’s style

with synthesizers and more of a rock-and-roll sound while still reaching down into the soul to pull forth meaning that the band’s lyrics are suc-cessful at conveying.

All in all, this al-bum is great. Cold War Kids are com-monly associated with their 2006 hit, “Hang Me Up to Dry,” but the songs from the new album go beyond topping their previ-ous work. My sug-gestion to you is to give it a shot. It’s not your average music and they can be an ac-quired taste, so listen first. Visit any music store and preview it if you can. Odds are you won’t be disap-pointed.

When week four of the NFL season start-ed, I was not look-ing for too much as-tonishment. Some of the best teams in the league were on byes and the match ups (minus the excitement in the NFC East and Scobee having to be a kicking hero, again) were relatively boring to the say the least. However, I and most other National Foot-ball League fans were blown away by the power-house playing of the New York Jets.

To be perfectly honest, many die-hard sports fans were

Favre Proves His Worth Against ArizonaBy ERIN ENNISSTAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––

not looking forward to the admittance of Brett Favre back into professional football. Admittedly Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. His NFL records include most career touchdown passes, most career passing yards, most career pass completions, most career pass at-tempts, and most con-secutive starts as an NFL quarterback. But Favre has played in the league since 1991 on three different teams and has played more games than any football player cur-rently on the field. It was time to retire, and it had been for many years, but he chose to

come back and play another season for a team that greatly needed a starting quar-terback with some sort of play dynamic.

Week four was the moment in this season where I think every-one finally understood why Brett Favre plays football. The match up on Sunday, Sept. 28 was not supposed to be a blow out, but the New York Jets swept the Arizona Cardinals in a 56 to 35 victory that surprised all fol-lowers of the game. Brett Favre threw for six touchdown com-pletions, a personal best and a feat barely seen during a regular season. Thirty-four of the points were scored

in a single quarter, beating any known franchise record cur-rently held. Favre ral-lied the offense and inspired the defense to pummel the Cardinals

For the non-football fans out there, it means yet another season to see Brett Favre play, and yet another sea-son where his abilities are probably going to

be endless. Expect the Jets to play heavily throughout the season and be big contenders for the AFC playoffs.

As for those of us who love the game, well, it’s another year of Favre. Another year of his antics, another year of him showing up our most beloved quarterbacks, and an-other year that proves years of practice (no matter how many) still makes you one of the greatest quarter-backs of all time. With a week to rest before a game against Cincin-nati, we can be sure to see Favre play spec-tacular yet again.

Oh Fiddle Stx

WEST HAVEN—Fid-dle Stx! That’s right I said, “Fiddle Stx!” with no ‘i.’ This min-iature indoor version of lacrosse is the third and final sport of REC-Sports’ first season. Fiddle stx games are played on Wednesday and Thursday nights and wrap up the week of intramurals sports very nicely.

If you haven’t seen any of the games this season, you can still check them out as the fiddle stx regular season continues to-day, tomorrow and next week. Fiddle stx games are worth the watch as they have been action-packed with the players really sacrificing all to win the games.

There is only one division of fiddle stx, but there are plenty of teams to keep the two nights busy. The level of participation has

been great, especially considering that this is a new sport to the RECSports’ family.

I usually add in the highlights from the games this week, but due to the games be-ing later in the week I thought I would mix it up a little this week. For all the latest scores and standings check out the REC-Sports bulletin board located across from the Equipment Is-sue Desk. Scores and standings are updated every Friday.

Now back to some-thing different. In the first article on RECS-ports this year I talked about the Quest for the Charger Cup. Since then I’ve sadly not kept up in the articles with the competition. Let me change that.

The Quest is off to a great start this year with thirteen teams participating. The leader as of this mo-ment is the Bangin’ Bulldogs team with 98 points followed by

Team Dienasty with 71 points. Teams acquire points for submitting a team to any and all divisions of any and all sports offered dur-ing the RECSports’ four seasons. Points are awarded for each game the team partici-pates in, win or lose, and for every RECS-ports survey submit-ted at the end of the season. So the more a team participates the more points they will accrue and the better the chance that the team will be the Char-ger Cup champions in May. Therefore, don’t forget that Season 2 registration started on Monday, Oct. 6. Even as Season 1 comes to a close with playoffs just around the corner, the Quest continues. So come out and par-ticipate.

Speaking of par-ticipation, this week’s participant of the week is the Bandits. Con-gratulations! Keep up the good work!

WEST HAVEN—The University of New Haven men's soccer team grabbed a 4-2 victory Satur-day afternoon, Oct. 4, over the visiting American Interna-tional College Yel-low Jackets in their first match since the injury to goalkeeper James Hilaire. The Chargers improve to 3-7-0 overall and 2-4-0 in the Northeast-10 Conference.

The Chargers opened scoring at the 17:24 mark off a di-rect kick from just in-side the 18-yard box. Jason Zurita scored the goal off a kick which bent its way to the left side of the net. Just under one min-ute later, at the 18:22, Oren Corridon scored from around 18 yards out off a shot that he

riffled from just right of the net. Corridon scored his first of the season and proved to be a tough matchup for the AIC defense as the match wore on.

At the half the

Soccer Returns with Victory Over AIC

ute Corridon scored the second goal of his career off a through ball from Christian Sanchez. The Char-gers scored again in the 75th minute when Jelani Joslyn scored his second goal of the season from just out-side the 18-yard box, right in the center of the field.

The Yellow Jack-ets added goals in the 76th and 90th min-utes to break the UNH shutout.

The Chargers out-shot AIC 13-11 in the game, but trailed 6-2 in corner kick at-tempts. Creem earned his first career victory and seven different UNH players attempt-ed shots.

The Chargers return to action on Wednes-day, Oct. 8 at 4 p.m. when they travel to Syracuse to take on LeMoyne College.

Chargers held on to their 2-0 lead and held a slight 6-5 lead in shots. UNH goalkeep-er Jonathan Creem grabbed one save in the opening half, while the AIC goalkeeper tallied two stops.

The Chargers con-tinued to open their lead with another two goals before the Yel-low Jackets could ever get on the board. In the fifty-third min-

Goalkeeper Jonathan Creem.

O.J. Simpson, charged with 12 counts, including armed robbery and kidnapping, has been found guilty of all counts. Simpson was originally arrested and charged on Sept. 16, 2008 for the crimes and made bail shortly thereafter.

Simpson told au-thorities at the time that he had arranged a meeting to get back some personal items that had been stolen from him years before. He announced the day after the incident that “I’m O.J. Simpson.

Simpson Found Guilty...But Not for MurderH o w am I g o i n g to think that I’m g o i n g to rob s o m e -b o d y and get a w a y w i t h it? Be-sides, I thought w h a t h a p -p e n s in Las Ve g a s stays in Las Ve-gas.”

T h e a l l -w h i t e

jury has maintained that they relied mainly on the video and au-dio footage and not so much on the witnesses. Video footage includ-ed scenes of Simpson and his buddies en-tering the Las Vegas hotel and then leaving some time later with sports memorabilia that Simpson claimed was stolen from him. On the audio record-ings Simpson could be herd shouting “Don’t let nobody out of this room. Motherf*cker, you think you can steal my shit and sell it?”

The jury also main-tains that the previous verdict of not guilty handed down in Simp-

son’s murder trial had no effect on their deci-sion. Polls given to the jurors after the verdict was handed down may show otherwise.

Simpson and co-defendant Clarence Stewart, also found guilty of all 12 counts, could face between 15 years to life imprison-ment for their crimes. The jury delivered their verdict on Oct. 3, 13 years to the day af-ter a Los Angeles jury acquitted Simpson of the murder of his wife and her friend.

Both Simpson and Stewart are sched-uled to be sentenced on Dec. 5 at 9:00 a.m. PST.

ANAHEIM, Calif.—Miley Cyrus' 16th birthday party was more boisterous than sweet.

Cyrus celebrated the hallmark birthday at an over-the-top Dis-neyland celebration Sunday—even though she doesn't actually turn 16 until Nov. 23. The theme park was closed for the super-sized soiree, which included a four-song

Miley Honors Her Sixteenth the Sweet Wayperformance by the teen queen and a fire-works display above Sleeping Beauty Cas-tle and 16 giant inflat-able candles.

"Miley is really hard to surprise," her father Billy Ray Cyrus said at the event.

Organizers estimat-ed over 5,000 people attended the special party, which cost $250 a ticket. On the event's purple carpet—that's Cyrus' favorite col-or—the Hannah Mon-tana star bragged that her parents bought her

a new puppy for her birthday. What else does Cyrus want for her birthday? A new car? Perhaps a later curfew?

"My parents shut down Disneyland for me, so I'm good for a while," Cyrus said.

Cyrus' father opened up for his daughter with a few of his own songs, in-cluding "Achy Breaky Heart." His daughter donned a white ruffled skirt and jersey-like vest with "Sweet 16" printed on the back

for her truncated con-cert. At one point, Cyrus boarded a boat in the park's Rivers of America and crooned such tunes as "Break-out" and "G.N.O."

Throughout the evening, several popular attractions, such as Big Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean, re-mained open to party-goers. Additional ac-tivities, like receiving a Hannah Montana makeover and playing the upcoming Disney Interactive Studios

rhythm video game Ultimate Band, were also made available to attendees.

Partygoers ogled celebrities roam-ing around the park throughout the party. David Archuleta and his entourage skipped the line to ride Space Mountain. Jennie Garth and her family ducked out before the fireworks display cap-ping the celebration. Other stars in atten-dance included Steve Carell, Cindy Craw-ford, Tyra Banks and

Jennifer Love Hewitt.Disney used the

event to promote their upcoming "What Will You Celebrate?" mar-keting initiative, which encourages tourists to take "celebration vacations" with their families. Beginning in 2009, guests at Dis-neyland and Walt Dis-ney World in Florida can gain free theme park admission on their birthday with a valid ID and proof of birth date.

The bunnies leave the hutch

We all hoped this day would never come. Unfortunately, it has. The Girls Next Door (Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkin-son) are leaving the Playboy mansion.

Last week, Perez

Hilton broke the story that the three girls are moving on. It was ex-plained that they are going through “transi-tions” right now that require a change of scenery.

It’s no secret, es-pecially in the case of Holly, that they girls want to get married

and have children. Hugh Hefner, who is still married to the mother of his teenage sons, has no plans of marrying again. Ac-cording to Hef, the ru-mor that the girls are leaving is completely false. Reps from the girls’ camps remain silent.

I like these girls ans I enjoy watching the Girls Next Door, but seriously we knew they would leave sometime right? Hef-ner rotates through girlfriends like sea-sons, so why would these three be any different? You know, winter is approaching.

A life worth KnowingFrom 5 to 9 he slaves all day,

Tired and weary he comes home to lay.Sipping from bottles of chilled cooled beers,Which drown his pain and sorrowed tears.

He grabs his plate and takes a seat,With quiet and silence he begins to eat.

He grabs the mail which passed early in the day,

And reads all the piles of bills to pay.Alone he runs off to bed,

As he feels a gentle kiss above his head.With the kiss given to him during his sleep,

My love is given for him to keep.I thank him in every way I can,

For showing me the definition of a true man.

Greg was running down the city block on Canal trying to reach Varet Street as soon as he possibly could. He knew the bounty hunt-ers had been looking for him and was try-ing his best to stay out of their sight. These bounty hunters had been searching for him for the last six weeks. He owed them a large sum of money that he borrowed to produce his films and had not paid them back. All of his projects failed

and his accounts had been frozen due to overwhelming debt. How could Greg pay back twenty thousand dollars when he didn't even have enough for a meal! Like you, Greg didn't know the answer either. As he reached Varet Street he realized that the bounty hunters would find him on Varet for sure; he had lost all faith that he could es-cape successfully. He began to think up a plan. The bridge was

not far from his pres-ent Varet. He then de-cided that he would jump into the river and give his destiny to the vile current. Greg was planning on drowning himself that sly eve-ning.

As he approached the bridge he slowed down and began to feel relieved from run-ning for so long. The bridge was quiet with no one in the distance to witness Greg take his life. He smiled as he stepped out into the

edge and stared at the now black water. His phone suddenly began to ring. Greg threw it off to the side of the bridge. It slid to the opposite side of the bridge almost falling over into the ocean. Greg believed it to be the bounty hunters in-forming him that they were on his tail. Greg then jumped into the river and an amazing splash would have been heard if anyone was around to hear it.

Greg’s phone had

stop ringing and a soft voice spoke once his answering machine picked up. It was his girlfriend, and she was telling him that she loved him and that she wanted to spend her entire life with him. She continued to say that she could never go on without him then "I love you, Bye." and hung up.

Based on a true story.

In loving memory of a former friend.
