It’s that time of year again. Students are making plans to either live on campus or off campus, leases need to be signed, housing deposits are due ... Let’s admit it, all of these things at the end of a semester can be a real headache.
Well, the Office of Residential Life is trying to make it easier on students to complete their housing applications for the following year.
All housing applications must now be completeed online. We applaud Residential Life because this is a great convenience for busy college students who have enough trouble turning papers in on time.

A sweet, music-box melody tinkers in the air, the lone notes on the piano setting the stage for the beginning and the end of The Last Five Years. The show is Jason Robert Brown’s semi-autobiographical tale of Jamie and Cathy, a young couple finding and experiencing love. Set in the intimate Blackbox Theatre, this emotion-driven operetta struck a chord with the audience, leaving many in search of tissues.
But why give away the ending now? Because that’s exactly what the show does. It begins and ends at the same time, telling the story of the couple from two perspectives — one starting at the beginning, and one at the end. This can cause some confusion, but Michael Sheehan’s keen direction gave way to understanding. Read More

The College at Brockport men’s lacrosse team was close. They had the ball and only a one-goal deficit. The momentum was there. But a sturdy Oswego defense held, and the Lakers went down the field, buried another goal and sent the Golden Eagles home with a 11-9 loss in their first SUNYAC game of 2008.
Pat Reilly had a hand in all but one of Brockport’s goals, scoring four times and setting up four others. His eight points were only one short of his school record.
“Pat had a lot of nice goals,” Brockport head coach Ben Wineburg said. “He’s a good shooter and he’s good at setting other players up.”
On the other side of the field was Garrett Allwes, who turned in a strong goaltending performance, defending the goal with intensity and hustling to prevent multiple Oswego second-chance opportunities.
“His play was a highlight of the game,” Wineburg said. Wineburg isn’t the only person noticing Allwes’ strong play, as he was also named SUNYAC Goaltender of the Week prior to the Oswego game.
While Brockport did well to match the physicality that the Lakers presented, it was mental errors that cost the Golden Eagles.
