Students Brockin’ the Port will stay mobile once again this year, with the location moving from Main Street to the municipal parking lot adjacent to Chase bank.
The annual end-of-semester bash will be held May 9 and will feature small musical acts, inflatable games and a multitude of vendors. The event will take place from 4 to 9 p.m.
Bands chosen to perform will be Wisenheimer, The Innocent Bystanders, Hyan Dry, Tru Skillz and Lemuria. There will not be a big-name band playing at the event, such as last year’s Reel Big Fish, due to a lower programming and promotions budget.
The inflatable games will include gladiator jousting, a bounce house and rat race, among others. Recreational Services will be sponsoring games to play. Delta College Student Association will be taking pictures with a frame around them to remember the year’s end. There will also be a caricaturist.
Vendors at the event will include Flash’s Tavern, Jimmy Z’s and potentially more.

Hate crime — “a crime, usually violent, motivated by prejudice or intolerance toward a member of a gender, racial, religious or social group.” That is how the Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines it, and that is what is rumored to have occurred at SUNY Oswego.
A bonfire held April 6, sparked a controversy surrounding what was thrown into the fire — a copy of the religious text the Quran.
Since this time, an article run in the April 11, 2008 issue of Oswego’s student-run newspaper, The Oswegonian, states that students involved and affected by this incident have attempted to resolve their differences, stating the intent of burning the Quran was misunderstood, and it was not a hate crime.
So, what’s the problem?

Kismet, the 2008 Annual Student Art Exhibition is now open and ready for viewing. The exhibition showcases the work of Brockport students of all majors.
The display was judged this year by Charles Beneke, a professor from the art department of the University of Akron. Kismet is organized and run by Brockport students enrolled in the gallery management class.
The first piece of art that may be viewed upon entering the Tower Fine Arts Gallery is “The Calling of Saint Gary,” by Alex Gruttodaro. This piece was made from oil on canvas and was awarded the Painting Award. This large painting depicts five men sitting around a table dressed in modern clothes. Two standing men are placed to their left with arms toward the table. These men are dressed in clothes of an older fashion including draping fabrics.
“Lotus #3” is a strong piece epitomizing femininity. It is created using digital print by Kaitlyn Kaufman. It portrays a silhouette of a woman sitting with her legs crossed and her head tilted to the side.
The silhouette is shown through the print of innumerable small identical pink lotuses. There was no clutter surrounding this woman, so the viewer is drawn only to look at the silhouette and the lotuses comprising her body. Read More

The College at Brockport faced a grueling road trip last week, but after five wins in six road games the Golden Eagles are looking at something much better — a place near the top of the SUNYAC standings.
Brockport (19-11, 10-4 SUNYAC) bounced between home and road without faltering, as trips to Potsdam and Oswego ended with doubleheader sweeps.
Freshman Stephanie Geer strong-armed her way through the week, earning three wins and a save on the road trip. Geer has accounted for half of Brockport’s SUNYAC wins. She took the hill in game one of each of the three doubleheaders and never relented, pitching complete games three days in a row.
Brockport used strong support from the mound en route to a 2-1 win in Potsdam and a 5-0 win in Oswego. Golden Eagles’ batters battled better in game two both days, with a 7-6 win in Potsdam and a mercy-rule 14-1 win over Oswego.
