NEW MAGAZINE MARCHES TO ITS OWN “BEAT”

Students and faculty alike congregated in the Stood on Wednesday evening to celebrate Purchase’s very first music magazine, The Beat. At-tendees of The Beat’s launch party were greeted by eager staff members and Purchase bands as they enjoyed pre-released copies of the premiere issue. Made from glossy, thick paper, the issue introduced the reader to crystal clear pictures re-sembling that of the early editions of Life. The issue simultaneously included detailed spreads on a mul-titude of musicians on campus, particularly of stu-dent, Sean McVerry, who shyly stared off the cover.The Beat’s design displayed a sleek professionalism that impressed many of the guests. “Last year I was editing a stack of pro-files for my course The Beat of Music Journal-ism,” Professor Solomon wrote in the publisher’s letter for The Beat. “I was continually buffeted by the compelling tales of people yearning for unique and universal things, overcoming obstacles, bat-tling the odds. Suddenly, it wasn’t a stack of papers anymore. I was reading the rough draft of the first issue of a magazine.” He quickly gathered students he felt had the type of work ethic and talent to pull the idea off. Alumni Briana Rodriguez and junior Kevin Redding were swiftly picked up for the job. A Queens native, Rodriguez’s very first journalism class was taught by Solomon. Noticing Rodriguez’s strong work ethic and commitment to her craft, specifically regarding her senior project covering underground and electronic dance music, Solomon instantly brought the scrambled idea for a potential music magazine and asked her if she would be willing to be editor-in-chief. She accepted.

Rodriguez was excited to see the mash-up of different, yet compatible, Purchase students Pro-fessor Solomon had hired to take on the project. “When he put us all together it was like, ‘alright, we have this idea, we want to do this music magazine, we have this collection of stories that we think might work. How do we rework them? How do we make them fit?’” Through extensive organizing and tireless elimination, staff writers worked hard to get the right stories that would best represent what The Beat wanted to give to their readers. Senior Writer Kevin Redding took a keen interest in document-ing Purchase studio engineers. “I wanted to see the music from their point of view,” said Redding. “They kind of really make the music what it is.” Reporting in depth on Purchase alumni Scott Moriarty, Redding’s article, “Inside Studio A,” delivered a distinct point of view of the conservatory that is sometimes lost among students who are merely watching a Purchase band perform live. Insight into the inner workings of these shows, and the talented “conductors” behind them, strongly reflected the dif-ferent nature of what The Beat is about. Issues submitted to The Beat will not only include these behind-the-scenes pieces, but also political reporting and music reviews, which close-ly follow the format of popular music magazines. Seemingly going off without a hitch, The Beat’s launch party also included live performances by Spencer Polanco and Coyote Campus, and par-ticipants of the magazine were able to confidently walk away feeling that perhaps a musical legacy was in the works.

THE COUNSELING CENTER’S MOVE

With the renovation of the Humanities Building, many of the school’s offices have been dis-placed. The Counseling Center is no exception. This office provides services vital to main-taining campus-wide health and keeping students productive members of the community. Now lo-cated near the N2 parking lot in a modular office, it takes a little more work than a stroll get to it. Students may be less likely to take advan-tage of the center’s resources because they don’t know where it is. I asked around for three days and the majority of people had no idea of the lo-cation, either pointing me in the wrong direction or telling me that it used to be in Humanities. A creative writing major, Kaylee Bar-balace, 18, finally showed me how to get to the Counseling Center. Standing near Student Ser-vices, Barbalace said, “Just follow the path near the Hub heading to the parking lot. Keep walking straight and on the left of the parking lot is the Counseling Center.” After finally reaching it, I spoke to an of-fice manager who said that the Center’s director wasn’t available to comment. Instead she gave me a pamphlet containing the old address, crossing it out and replacing it with “N2 Parking Lot, Lin-coln Ave Modulars.” The main issue with this move is that even on the Counseling Center’s website, there is no updated address listed. If it was fixed, students would have better chance of knowing where to go and how to get there. There are several solutions to this issue. The center could directly address students by sending out an email providing directions to the

modular offices. Alternatively, the school can place signs around campus. After all, there are bright green, very hard to miss signs pointing toward places such as the Library and Bookstore. Why not to-ward the not-so-obvious Counseling Center? Stu-dents wouldn’t have to search around campus for such an important place. Until the anticipated completion of the Humanities restoration in June 2014, offices like the Counseling Center are essentially stuck where they are. If used, efforts such as email, signs and other means to inform students about these new changes will help the campus function more smoothly.

HITCHIN’ A RIDE

Let’s say a friend comes to visit and you

pick them up from White Plains intending to board

the Loop back to campus, only to have your friend

denied access. What do you do? You can’t leave

your friend alone in White Plains, but you don’t

have a car; so how are you supposed to get them

back to campus? You’ve got to hope that you know

someone who has a car and is available to come

pick the both of you up, or dish out some cash to

take a taxi back to campus.

This new policy has left some complaining

about how this didn’t used to be an issue, which is

true. In the past, the policy of “no-card-no-ride”

was lax. But after a few incidents of off-campus in-

dividuals using the Loop to gain access to campus,

this policy had to be strengthened.

When asked about these incidents, Donna

Salter, the Director of Parking and Transporta-

tion on campus, explained that “a young man

[who boarded the Loop] in White Plains, came

to campus, used the gym facilities without a card,

and stalked a young lady.” It is worth noting that

this isn’t the first time something of this nature has

happened. Salter continued, “He got reported to

the police and the police actually found him on the

bus trying to leave.”

After this incident, President Schwartz put

his foot down and mandated this new policy.

Since the inception of a new bus company,

the unwavering policy has been “no-card-no-ride,”

and this is displayed on all of the buses. Salter dis-

cussed the logistics, saying, “The students’ trans-

portation fee pays for this service. For the students--

not their guests. The buses are full to begin with. If

it were available to those without a More card, the

school might as well be operating a shuttle service.

There is simply not enough money in the budget to

accommodate the guests of students.”

It brings into perspective what it would be

like if guests were permitted on the Loop. Every

Friday night, a student could bring two guests with

them. If every student did that, there would not

be enough room on the buses for those who actu-

ally attend this school. If it would be like that every

weekend, one could only imagine how it would be

for big campus events like Zombie Prom and Cul-

ture Shock. Students who have to use the bus to

get to work would be terribly inconvenienced. The

buses have been known to reach the capacity limit

with it’s own students.

Furthermore, the student body needs to

become more aware of the fact that their More

card is very valuable.

“They don’t realize that it has to be

treated the same way you’d treat a credit card or

a passport,” said Salter. “It’s their ID, yes, but it

also holds money, costs money to replace, it allows

access to the gym, the Loop, and the library, and

gives discounts.”

When asked if she saw this policy of not

admitting guests, even those with guest passes, ac-

cess to the Loop would change in the future, Salter

admitted that she did not. “Not unless the bus bud-

get increased by one-hundred percent.”

Salter requested that, above all, we stress

that this policy is not meant to purely inconve-

7

c a m p u s

nience us. Student safety is the top priority. Those at

the Transportation Department don’t want to make

this a hassle for us and sympathize with the frustra-

tion that we as students have experienced, but the

safety of our whole community, not just those who

ride the Loop, must and will remain the top priority.

We encourage students to look into the alternative

methods of transportation available on campus.

A few of those alternatives are:The Bee-Line #12 bus comes into campus with

limited stops, but ends this service at six o’clock.

Zimride, is a no-charge ride-share program.

Zipcars, which cost $35 dollars per year, but you

end up receiving $45 dollars back in ridership.

Taxi services. Purchase College has a partner-

ship with Central Taxi.

All of these alternatives and their details

are listed on the school’s website at:

www.purchase.edu/departments/transporation

Purchase is also looking into a new service

called Ride-Relay which allows people to regis-

ter their car and essentially rent it out to people

in their community for a fee. This is a nationwide

service where you can name your price for renting

out your car. It is fully insured and costs nothing to

join. More information about this service can be

found at www.relayrides.com.

A SECULAR SUNY

A state university that prides itself on ‘thinking wide open’ is about to become just a little more accepting. The newly minted Secular Students Alli-ance (SSA) organization is a beckoning environ-ment for secular and agnostic students. “We aim to create an inclusive group that represents the secular community in a positive light,” co-president Matthew Collura wrote in his mission statement. Collura and co-president Luigi Bonifacio plan on tackling the social and political issues that loom over nonreligious affiliations. “We decided to first create a place for secular students to discuss among themselves is-sues relating to the community, such as having a heavily religious family and dealing with the fric-tion non-belief can cause…” SSA plans to host seminars and charity events to create an open dialogue with students of religious and other beliefs in the campus community. “We won’t be a God-hating club, nor are we striving to exterminate the religious from the campus,” said Collura. “On the contrary, we want the same representation that the religious students have.” SSA will hold meetings at the Commuter Lounge in Campus Center South from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Oct. 1.

JAYDEN’S STORY

Often when children getting attacked by

animals, the immediate reaction is to blame the

animal in question. This is seen more in dogs that

have bad reputations, such as pit bulls, rottweilers,

or German shepherds.

Jayden Forrester, a 3-year-old girl from

Rochester, was attacked on September 1st by her

aunt’s pit bull. The last thing parents Justin For-

rester and Melissa Moore are urging people to

concentrate on is the stigma.

According to DemocratandChronicle.com,

Justin Forrester spoke outside of Strong Memorial

Hospital, where his daughter is being treated.

“This isn’t about how pit bulls are bad or

blaming anybody ... The bottom line is, something

terrible happened and a little girl needs help.”

Jayden sustained extensive injuries to her

face, specifically the breaking of her top and bot-

tom jaw and a great deal of soft tissue damage near

her eyes. The dog, who had no history of violent

behavior and has been around Jayden many times,

sank his teeth in and refused to let go.

Both Forrester and Moore jumped to their

child’s aid; Forrester prying the dog’s jaw open and

Moore shielding her daughter when the dog went

to attack again. This seems to be all the help they

can provide for their little girl. The family’s medical

insurance will barely cover the cost for the amount

of surgeries this little girl will need, which all fall

under the category of cosmetic.

But there is hope for Jayden. Claire Hen-

richs, Justin Forrester’s foster mother took immedi-

ate action to get her the help she needs.

Using the site Indiegogo.com, Henrichs set

up a funding campaign to raise the money needed

for Jayden’s many surgeries. She also put information

regarding the accident, the surgeries, and rejected a

number of rumors on the campaign’s web page.

“I want to put some hurtful rumors to rest

here,” Henrichs wrote. “The dog was not Jayden’s

parents’ dog. At no time did they leave this little

girl alone with the dog - there were two adults in

the room when the attack occurred ... Please do

not try to lay blame for this and remember that it

is about a little girl who has had her life derailed

by the injuries she has suffered. The parents have

handled this situation incredibly well given the cir-

cumstances. They are not pointing fingers at any-

one and I hope that none of you will either.”

The original goal for the campaign was

$20,000. As of September 26th, the amount of mon-

ey that was raised had surpassed the $27,000 mark,

though contributions are still strongly encouraged.

Henrichs has also been providing updates

on Jayden’s condition. These have been ranging from

photos right after the accident, to photos of her state

now, to posts stating how the campaign is going. As

of September 13th, Jayden was released from Strong

Memorial with more healing to do before any other

facial surgeries could be done.

“A big thank you to the doctors and nurses

at Strong Memorial Hospital for taking such good

care of Jayden!” Henrichs posted excitedly.

Donations for Jayden can be made at:

DARK MATTERS

Humanity is one step closer to answering one of the most important questions in the history of the universe: Is the Sith Empire rising again? This past week, scientists have proven that there is a 99.996 percent chance that dark energy truly does exist. Dark energy is the coun-terpoint to dark matter. All over space, there are these black lumps that keep everything in the uni-verse from drifting away, and this effort is at odds with dark energy, which pulls the universe apart. So now it’s clear that we need to watch our backs, because the Sith want to destroy the universe with their dark energy. Statistically, sev-eral Force-sensitive people are born to our planet all the time, but due to lack of proper training and incapability of creating lightsabers, we cannot train a true Jedi. Soon, the Sith plan will come to fruition, and all that we know will be destroyed. Fighting back, however, can be a sim-ple matter. We need to weed out the Sith Lords among us, and get information from them. Then kill them. In that particular order. But where does one begin looking for a Sith? Clowns. Some believe them to be demons, others believe them to be a species set to run the human race into the ground, but the sad truth is that the Sith have been biding their time in our circuses until this eleventh hour. So next time you’re at the circus, keep a close eye on those goofy motherfuckers, you never know what they could be up to.

CINEMASAI: “RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION”

Reliably schlocky zombie fare before Octo-ber? A filmmaker has to have conviction, a follow-ing, or a death wish to trot a film as silly as “Resident Evil: Retribution” onto the cinematic field. When I remember that the aforemen-tioned writer-director is Paul W.S. Anderson, slick but mostly soulless action film auteur extraordi-naire, (“Alien vs. Predator,” “Resident Evil,” “Mortal Kombat”) and that he has been involved in one way or another with all five of these films, my thoughts begin to contradict themselves. From a technical standpoint, the series has been improving with consistently reliable action se-quences and proper use of 3D cameras and depth. Yes, the writing and narrative structure still switch between being boring and predictable or confus-ing and non-sensical. Performances across the cast range from brooding to reading off of a news tele-prompter in the grungiest voice they can muster. So why am I still having fun? Because this is W. S. Anderson’s bread and butter: films with hammy acting and insufferably dumb scripts, well-choreographed action sequences, and a guar-anteed fan base. No one does this bigger or bet-ter than him, and “Resident Evil: Retribution,” is an entertainingly shallow ride across the face of a two week old corpse. Alice (Milla Jovovich), the survivor-turned-super soldier from the first four films, has been re-captured by the cartoonishly evil Um-brella Corporation, seemingly headed by a brain-washed Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) since the events of the last film, “Afterlife.” But Alice isn’t finished running and gunning just yet. With the help of Ada Wong (Li Bingbing) and ex-Umbrella

agent Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), Alice es-capes on a “globe-trotting” mission across an un-derwater Umbrella facility filled with simulations of major cities to reach the surface of the planet, making for a virtual greatest hits list of characters both new and old. The plot description is as ludicrous as it sounds because it serves as a convenient way to cram as many zombies into as many different cities as possible, but it also serves another purpose. Because the first “Resident Evil” film skewed so far from the source material, the far-ther into the zombie-filled hole these films have gone, the closer they’ve come to incorporating characters from the games into the movies. “Ret-ribution” sees the arrival of Leon S. Kennedy, everyone’s favorite comb-over hairdo, albeit look-ing like Keith Urban with suspenders, and Ada Wong from the Resident Evil 4 game. Meanwhile Jill’s evil make-over has been accompanied by an accurate purple skin-tight costume and chest-mounted mind scrambling device. Even with all of the “talent” on display in this installment, with the exception of Jovovich and Rodriguez, the cast can’t rise above the necro-tized hole that their acting chops have fallen into, especially Sienna Guillroy and Shawn Roberts, whose grim mugging and teleprompter line read-ing seem to exist in a different self-aware spoof. “Resident Evil: Retribution” is a slick, pulpy, absent-minded action thriller with enough beautiful faces and 3D depth perceptive cam-era tricks to wonder what cutting room floor the script was pulled off of, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

ALBUM REVIEW: “BABEL”BY TOMMY ROACH

Close to three years ago, in the month

of October, an album came out in the UK in a

scene that hadn’t really become popularized yet.

Behind it were four exceptionally talented multi-

instrumentalists who, mind you, didn’t even own

the instruments they were playing on. In fact, the

group was initially sent home from the studio

when they showed up to record with nothing.

In 2009, Mumford and Sons released

their debut album, “Sigh No More,” in the UK.

Since it’s release, the album has gone double

platinum on our shores, and quadruple platinum

across the pond.

Fast forward to now, the end of Septem-

ber 2012, and the release of Mumford and Son’s

sophomore album, “Babel.” With a bar set as

high as an album like “Sigh No More,” Mum-

ford and Son’s had their work cut out for them for

this release. While a band’s debut is important to

grab everyone’s attention (which they’ve obvious-

ly done), the second album is really the turning

point for a young band. This is the album where

a band proves to the world that they weren’t just

lucky. This is the album you use to let everyone

know you’re not fucking around.

To say that Mumford and Sons isn’t fucking

around with “Babel” would be an understatement.

The band has taken everything they started with

“Sigh No More” and turned it up to 11, if you will.

The first song on the album, appropriate-

ly called “Babel,” opens up with so much energy

it’s stunning, immediately producing images of

autumn, of festivals, of cool crisp air. Mumford

and Sons could not have possibly chosen a better

way to establish their intentions for this album.

The chorus is poetic perfection and ends by go-

ing back into heavy acoustic guitar and banjo riffs

that make you want to lay in a pile of leaves and

forget you’re a broke college student for a little bit.

The song “I Will Wait,” is a perfect

choice for the first single off of this album. While

not the strongest track on the album, it has a large

amount of wonderful things going for it. If there’s

one thing I love hearing more than anything else,

it’s harmonies. The be blunt, the harmonies in

this song tug at my heartstrings in a way I’m not

used to.

Track 11, in contrast to most of this al-

bum, is a slower, more beautiful song called “Be-

low My Feet.” I note the track number due to

the fact that I usually find the second half of an

album to be good, but not always memorable.

Mumford and Sons breaks that, and reminds you

that the album is still playing in the background,

and this track is no exception to that.

In all honesty, I wish I could go into great

detail about every track on this album. There’s

so much to be said about this band. “Babel” goes

above and beyond everything it should have been.

It’s a gorgeous album that belongs in any audio-

phile’s collection. I’d say that’s pretty damn good

for a band that couldn’t afford the instruments

they needed to play only a few years back.

CLUBS SEARCHING FOR A NEW HOMEBY MARK VASEY

How do you move on from the walls

of memories built on the shoulders of dreams?

Where do you go when the home you built has

been taken from you, and the situation is out of

your control? This is the problem staring many

clubs at Purchase College in the eye, many of

them forced to find new meeting spaces this se-

mester, due to construction and policy changes

regarding the use of rooms on campus.

The Nerf Guild once wielded their

weapons of plastic, containing projectiles of foam

as numerous students took over the Humanities

building, battle after battle, until The Nerf Guild

became a victim of renovation.

The Nerf Guild has been forced to leave

its home battlefield behind in search of a suitable

replacement. Although they have lost their loca-

tion, their spirit will live on as the club searches

for new foreign battlefields. The games will con-

tinue for the Nerf Guild as it searches for a per-

manent base of operations, but not all clubs have

fully acquiesced the loss of their homes.

Push Ideas Into Action, commonly re-

ferred to as PUSH, an activist club on campus lost

its beloved location due to construction as well.

Sandra Quints, the president of PUSH, misses

the clubs old space in the basement of Campus

Center North.

Jasmine Rippey, the Coordinator of

Clubs Organizations and Services (CoCOas),

stated that the rooms in Campus Center North

are no longer assigned to specific clubs, and must

be reserved using the Room Management System

(RMS). This can be accessed from the self-service

section of the student portal.

Rippey said that the change in policy is in

response to the reduced amount of space on cam-

pus due to construction, and the change creates

a “fair chance for everyone to have space.” This

could help alleviate the space constraints placed

upon clubs by the renovations of buildings, but

does not make Quints feel any better about the

situation.

“It’s good to know there is a space you

can go to,” she said, referring to the impromptu

meetings that PUSH once did in their old space.

Remnants of the past can be viewed if

you journey into the basement rooms of campus

center north. I was showed the rooms by Rippey

and Chair of Senate, Teddy O’Rourke.

Many of the items that once belonged to

the clubs are now piled in a mess of history that

fills the center of these rooms. The images bring

up thoughts of mass graves and book burnings as

the piles of seemingly useless junk sit, collecting

dust, waiting to be removed, and with it, any hint

of what once occurred in these rooms.

These piles symbolize the transition of a

campus, and its student body, from the past into a

future filled with newly renovated buildings, and

new policies that replace the old. Homes have

been lost, but new memories will be cemented

into the minds of students at Purchase College

and the clubs will live on.

HEY TEAM! I missed you this summer.

Purchase was so lonely without you. I did, howev-

er, get a buttload of work done without you here

to distract me... so that’s good! Before I update

you on all of that, it’s important that you know

who I am and how you’re going to use me.

My job as president is a two-part gig. Half

is being the chief student to the administration

and SUNY network, and half is being head of

the PSGA’s (all clubs, organizations and services)

operations and affairs. If you guys have an issue

or idea, I need to know about it. In some cases,

I’m the only student that speaks directly to our

“higher ups,” so I need to understand what you

want in order for it to happen. If we don’t know

each other yet, that’s easily fixable.

The Executives were all on campus this

summer, so we were able to plow through the

general housekeeping that’s accumulated over the

past… thirty years or so. The Stood and our in-

ternships are on probation this semester because

of problems last year’s executive board faced. We

desperately need your help keeping the Stood

afloat… So please, please don’t drink there, start

a fight, or do anything cray to jeopardize our

Stoodhome. Drink wherever else you want- that’s

on you- but the second you bring it into the Stood

it’s on all of us. DON’T DO IT.

Next! I’m sure you’ve all noticed the new

and greatly improved loop schedule! The Goddess

of the Transportation Office, Ms. Donna Salter,

worked her butt off to have that ready for us by

this semester and we’re so thankful! I hear seats

on the Friday buses to White Plains are scarce; go

to Port Chester instead! The hourly loop is brand

new, and it offers everything that White Plains

does and more including a Metro North train

to the city, cheaper movies, great music venues,

shopping, delicious food. It’s fierce, so use it!

Also: go check out the GORGEOUS

path between H street in the Olde and Alumni.

It was my baby this summer and I hope you all

make use of it, stay safe and keep it clean!

That’s just a tiny bit of what we’re doing

and dealing with here in the PSGA. The Inde-

pendent’s lovely Editor-in-Chief has generously

offered us a weekly spot to keep in touch with you,

so let us know what you want to know and we’ll

keep this conversation going. You’ll hear from the

other executives in the coming weeks and you’re

going to love them just as much as I do. They’re

hyperactive, caring, PHENOM at getting shit

done- everything you’d want in a team of lead-

ers- so use them while you can.

Thanks team! You’re the best!
