Quote of the week
Welcome Home
Congratulations on working your way through the first days of college. I remember starting my first year here at IC, trying to fit-in and make it to class on time. Two years later I am still trying to do both! Just kidding, I have several alarm clocks now and am glad to finally have a major (after being Exploratory for two years) and some great friends.
Now that you are living on campus for the better part of the year, Ithaca is your home and the Ithaca community is your family. I was lucky enough to spend my entire summer in Ithaca and I remember this feeling I had driving home from grocery shopping one day. You know that feeling when you're driving around your hometown and you don't have to think about what turns to make on which street because you know the look and feel of the land? I had that feeling for the first time this summer, and it was wonderful. My hope for you all is that you too can find your place in the welcoming community that is Ithaca.
The first couple weeks of classes can be pretty overwhelming. Between figuring out where everything is on campus and finding a balance for your classes and social life, getting involved might be the last thing on your mind. This week's issue is packed with different information sessions and meetings for organizations you can be a part of on campus. Don't let these opportunities pass you by before the semester has even started! Two big events I strongly encourage you to attend are the Involvement Fair and the INVOLVED Recruitment Night on September 5th. The Involvement Fair is a wonderful way to check out many of the organizations you can be a part of and make a difference with on campus. INVOLVED is a way for first year students to get to know one another in small groups with upperclassmen as leaders, not only showing you what events are on campus but also the city of Ithaca. Be sure to check out these events and all others that are going on in the next couple weeks!!

Quote of the Week
Motivation for Staying Motivated
This is a tough time of year. It's not that there's really that much more work to do right now, we've had tests and papers due all year long. The problem is losing motivation to complete these tasks. I know that I'm having trouble staying motivated. The weather is getting nice, plus a new season of "Celebrity Fit Club" is on (featuring Screech).
I'm anxious to see some old friends, and can't wait to do so. It'll just be nice to not have to worry about anything really being due for the next 4 months. Don't start slacking now though. We only have a couple of weeks left. Finish the semester strong. Study for your exams as hard as you can. Proof read your papers a few times over. Don't let a bad grade at the end of the semester ruin what you've worked a half of a year on. Also, don't be too ready too leave too early. If you haven't had a college summer vacation before, it can get kind of boring. I was ready to be back at school by mid-July my first collegiate summer. So keep on keepin' on, and as a cajun clad Rob Schneider in "The Waterboy" would say... you can do it!
Hidden Talents
A couple of weeks ago we asked y'all to send us your amazing hidden talents! Here's what you sent us!
Katherine Pike writes:
"A friend of mine and I taught each other how to sing "row-row-row your boat" backwards. I don't know if that's a talent or having too much free time."
Chris Nolen, mentioned in our last hidden talents piece, informed me:
"Kate! Don't forget that I can break an apple in half with my bare hands, and do a cartwheel. Not at the same time."
Katherine, Chris, thanks for your submissions! Katherine, I don't think you have too much time on your hands, if you ever want to learn Pi let me know. Chris, I will always be jealous that you can do a cartwheel and I can't.

Kate's Corner - Staying Healthy
First of all I would like to say thank you to my good friend that I have been going to the gym with for the last month for motivating me to go last night even though I really didn't want to get off my lazy bum, and then to another friend of mine that I passed on the walk there that said "Going to the gym Kate? Way to go, stay motivated!" Y'all made my night.
When I got to the gym last night and got my workout on it taxed my body more than usual. I couldn't figure out why, and then the Seinfeld episode came on where Kramer stores his own blood in Newman's freezer and everyone tells Jerry he's gaining weight. Jerry freaks out at this, and replaces all of his junk food with fruit and vegetables. Then it dawned on me the food I had eaten throughout the day: half a dozen donuts, four cups of coffee, and half of a sandwich leftover from Sunday night; not the healthiest day. I am glad I went to the gym, because even though it was a tough workout I felt better afterwards.
The point of all this is that I want y'all to focus on staying healthy for the last couple weeks of classes and into the summer. We tend to put a lot of focus on study tips and pacing yourself, only mentioning to get rest. Staying in healthy habits is just as important as studying for your finals. Take a look at what you're eating the next time you open your fridge or at the dining hall, really look at it. Is it mostly carbs? Grab a few slices of cucumber or carrots and some grapes to go along with your carbo-loading. Don't try to totally convert to super-healthy food right away like Jerry, that can lead to stress (and who can give up sweets? Not me!). However, I encourage you to make a conscious effort these last couple of weeks to try and balance your eating, and also to keep a regular sleep schedule. It's a busy time of the year, so even if your regular sleep schedule is going to bed at 3 and waking up at 8, be consistent!
Also, don't forget that hugs help stress go away, I highly recommend 33 a day!

Quote of the Week
Pain (any pain--emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls into one of two categories: "We would be more alive if we did more of this," and, "Life would be more lovely if we did less of that." Once we get the pain's message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away.

A message from Kate and Chris
We are sure you all have heard about the shooting at Virginia Tech this Monday. In light of this tragedy, it is important to remember and be thankful for what we have. If you knew someone from the shooting, we would like to express our deepest sympathy for you, and want you to know that we, along with the rest of the campus community, are here for your support.
In support of the victims and survivors, we encourage you to attend the candlelight vigil tonight at 8:00 pm at Muller Chapel.
Tomorrow, "Orange and Maroon Effect Day," wear Orange and Maroon to honor those killed in this tragic event. Your support would mean the world to the friends and families of those put in harm's way at Virginia Tech.
It is a good idea to remember those who are important to you. If you love someone, in any way, let them know. We can never be certain of what tomorrow will bring, but we can learn from the past and try to be as prepared as humanly possibly for what waits around the corner. Remember too that this was an isolated happening, a very unfortunate one, and we encourage you to not let this keep you from feeling safe, there are still lots of great things that happen every day in this world.

Quote of the Week
Summer Is Kind Of Almost Here
 I don't know about all of you, but I'm ready for summer. I'm at the point where all I can think of is what to do this summer. I know that it's quite a long ways away yet, but I can't wait. It'll be nice to have some time to rest and not have to worry about completing a paper or studying for a test. I've already started looking for some summer concerts. A Bright Eyes show in NYC is looking promising. Hopefully I'll be able to do a little bit of wakeboarding. It's a lot of fun, but I always get sunburned. If you have Irish skin like I do, you might know how terrible this really is.
This is actually going to be the first summer where I won't be home for most of it. Summer Orientation will take up quite a bit of time, and I'm going to be moving into a house at the start of July. It will be different, but I feel that it's a good move. If you have any interesting summer stories or summer plans, send them in and we'll post them in next week's issue. Maybe some talk about summer will help warm this campus up a bit.

Kate's Corner - Amazing hidden talents
At dinner last night during a lull in the conversation I slyly raised my eyebrows, one at a time, at my friend Chris. After staring back at me, unable to move his eyebrows quite as magically as I can, we got into a conversation about amazing (sometimes called useless) talents. Chris can make his hand imitate a fish swimming (it's pretty cool!), raise one eyebrow, and has his own mascot. I can wiggle my ears and nose, know the first 50 digits of Pi, have dancing eyebrows, and can pogo-stick no-handed. My friend Jeremiah can relate the numbers 1 to 57 to any Sopranos episode, and name who wrote and directed the episode (we decided that he won for the night). Last night we all discovered one another's hidden talents.
What are your hidden talents? Can you juggle while riding a unicycle? Write in different languages with different hands at the same time? Balance anything at all on your head?
Chris and I would love if y'all wrote to us at TheEventsCrew@gmail.com and told us about your hidden talents! Send us pictures, video, or descriptions, and we will include them in either next week's issue, or maybe have a new one every issue. Let's show everyone what kind of true natural talent students here at IC have!

Quote of the Week
Kate's Corner
 Yesterday, for me and many of my friends, was truly a long and tiresome day. I am sure many of y'all can relate. We have started the final push of classes, can you believe that there is only a little over month left in the semester? Between busy schedules and yesterday's swift change for the worse in the weather, I think everyone is starting to feel a bit dragged down. As I was sitting in my room feeling gloomy, I tried to think of all the things I like to do in Ithaca either by myself or with friends that make me feel good. I'd like to share my favorite things to do with you, in hopes that they'll inspire you to do something that makes you feel good, and maybe even take some time to enjoy yourself.
When the weather is gloomy and I want to be alone, I like to curl up with a book (not related to schoolwork) and a mug of coffee or hot cocoa, and spend some time reading, or maybe put on an episode (or season) of Seinfeld. It's nice to do things that don't take a whole lot of effort, because while you are still being somewhat active, your body and mind have time to relax.
If I am hungry and my friends and I can't figure out something to do (which doesn't happy very often with so many events going on!!), we head to the State Street Diner. We usually end up there around midnight and spend a couple hours just hanging and talking, not to mention consuming the best milkshakes and omelettes in Ithaca!
Buttermilk or Taughannock Falls is a great place to go for a hike and a picnic! When the weather is nice and you have a few hours, these beautiful places are a must-see!
If you're out of money and it's a nice day, take a stroll down around the Commons! There are lots of window-shopping opportunities, and always a great place to people-watch!
When the weather is icky and I want to be with friends, I like to either have a dance party, movie night, play board games (Monopoly or Scrabble anyone?), or even a homework party. It's nice having your friends surround you, no matter what you're doing.
When the sun comes out, and the ground is dry, I enjoy spending my afternoons on a blanket in the quad. My friends and I toss a Frisbee, sit and chat, or maybe even do homework! Having the warm sun touch my skin makes me feel good on the inside and out.
At the risk of sounding cheesy, just writing Kate's Corner has cheered me up some. I encourage y'all to write and express yourself. Writing is a great way to let out emotions of all sorts. Don't know what to write about? Write about your classes, friends, favorite movie, you pet, favorite book, anything! Now that you have some ideas, express yourself! If you send your writings to us, Chris and I would love to include them in E-vents. Make it your own and keep your chin up, good weather is coming soon!

A Note From Chris
At one point in time I used to be in elementary school. I'm sure all of you were too. If you weren't, then congratulations... you're probably some sort of baby genius. I remember elementary school pretty well. I remember how exciting it was to go outside and play. I remember making new friends each year but still hanging out with the ones I had already made. I remember holidays, teachers, and field trips. I think it's interesting to try and think back to when you were younger.
After I transfered schools in the summer between 6th and 7th grade, I kept in contact with my old friends for a little while. Sadly, I gradually lost touch. It's a shame because I wonder what some of them are doing today. It seems like once moments pass you can't really get them back.
Here's my point. I don't mean to sound nostalgic, but now and then try to think back to when you were younger. Listen to an old album that you loved. Watch an old movie (Ernest Scared Stupid is a personal favorite). Try to get a hold of an old friend (Facebook could be the easiest way to do so).
I'm not saying live in the past, but I think it's good to remember where you came from in order to understand who you are today. While you're not thinking about the past, try to enjoy the present as much as you can and don't take it for granted. College is going to be considered your younger days soon enough.

Quote of the Week
Kate's Corner
 This Saturday marks the first day of April. In many cultures, this is April Fool's Day, a day of pranks. I know I really enjoy April Fool's Day because it's an easy-going holiday. There are no awkward family get-togethers, big family dinners, or the presumption of gift giving (though all of these things are nice at times, it's good to have a break). Pranks range from something as harmless as 'look! gullible is written on the ceiling!' to toilet-papering, post-it noting, and feathering your friend's room (not that I've done that), to borderline dangerous pranks. While I don't encourage you to do illegal things on April Fool's Day, I do encourage you to take advantage of this fun loving holiday and make someone smile by playing a practical joke or two!
I know what you're thinking, where did April Fool's Day originate?
There's no definite date of when the tradition of practical jokes began, but it's thought that it was in the late 1500s when New Year's was changed from being celebrated on April 1st to January 1st. Back in those days, news didn't travel very fast, and it took a few years for everyone to hear about the switch. There were also some who received the news that the new year was no longer on April 1st, but refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate April 1st as New Year's Day. These people were labeled as 'fools' and ended up as the butt of jokes for believing in their 'backwards' ways. Over time, the harassment of 'fools' evolved into an excuse for playing pranks on anyone and everyone. The tradition spread throughout Europe, was brought over to the American colonies, and voila! Here we are today setting roommates' clocks back an hour and saran-wrapping toilet seats.
So have fun this weekend with the day of the fools. I hope to see many of y'all at Relay for Life. I heard that they wrote the word 'gullible' all over the ceiling, so be sure to look for it!

5:00 PM - 7:00 PM - Handwerker Gallery - Reception for new media artist Renate Ferro, whose installation "Panic Hits Home" is currently in the Gallery Rotunda. In "Panic Hits Home" Ferro questions what happens when the federal political bureaucracy maps out messages of panic via the media in a way that disrupts the balances of the boundaries between interior/exterior, psychic/social, and private/public. Experiencing the Cold War panic of the early sixties as a child, she was struck by the eerie similarity of the urgency for ordinary citizens to be prepared for impending doom that Washington promulgated in light of the tragic events of 9/11.

Kate's Corner - Housing Selection and Course Registration
I truly cannot believe how quickly the semester has gone by! The week before Spring break I received a letter in the mail about housing selection next year, and yesterday when I checked again I received a reminder to talk to my advisor and start thinking about courses for next semester!
Next Thursday, March 29th is when students with zero or more semesters completed may select housing. Since housing selection is online this year, I'd like to share some helpful tips to keep in mind when getting ready to select housing at 7:00 am next Thursday. You must have your housing ID to select housing. This can be found by logging into HOMER Connect under the Residential Life section. If you are planning on getting housing with other people, give one person everyone's housing IDs and smoking preferences, as this will be the information you need to have when you make your selection. When you log in with everyone's IDs, you will be shown which housing options are available to you ( i.e. three person groups will be shown only triple rooms in the residence halls and 3-person circle apartments).
If you are selecting housing individually, after logging in with your ID you will be shown all single rooms and double rooms available.
These are the basics, if you would like further clarification you can ask me or Chris, or visit http://ithaca.edu/reslife/room_self_selection.htm
Registration for Fall Semester 2007 starts April 2nd. Registration is based on how many credits have been earned, not including the credits you are currently enrolled in. You can find out exactly what date you are registering here: http://ithaca.edu/registrar/Reg_Access.pdf. Also, take the time to schedule an appointment with your advisor, especially if you need to have an alternate PIN number to access registration on HOMER. Talking to your advisor can be a great way to keep from stressing about classes, whether you have a major or not. I started out as Exploratory, and through meeting with my advisor and other professors I found what courses worked best for me.
Some other tips include:
Make sure that when you are picking classes to have a plan with extra course options, as you may not get all of your first choices.
Pick a class outside of your comfort zone. Take a course in something that you don't know a whole lot about. This is a great way to expand your intellectual horizons!
Be careful when you ask your friends or visit ratemyprofessors.com for information on a class. Some of the information they give you might be helpful, but don't let what they say be the absolute reason you do or do not take a course.
Balance your schedule. Although it sounds like it would be awesome to have class only on Tuesdays and Thursdays and have 4-day weekends every week, that kind of schedule could end up being very stressful. Try to balance your schedule between MWF and TR classes. Sometimes it's even nice to have an hour or so break between classes where you can always have time scheduled to get work done!
You can ask Chris or myself anything about scheduling classes, but remember to speak with your advisor, they are there to help you! Happy registering!!

Relay For Life
March 31st marks a pretty exciting and emotional experience for students of Ithaca College and Cornell. On this date, students willing to participate will meet their teams for a night full of friends, stories, walking, and fun. Relay For Life is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. It allows students to come together and show their support for cancer research as well as those who are fighting or have fought cancer. The events usually occur from 7 PM to 7 PM the next day, for 24 hours, to show that cancer is something that is going on 24 hours a day, and consist of special performances and food, as well as the most important aspect; walking.
If you've never participated before, I cannot begin to explain the awesomeness that is Relay for Life. I had gone to a few relays when I was in high school, but it was never quite as powerful as the one I attended last spring. I arrived fairly early at Barton Hall on the Cornell campus, but there were still quite a few participants getting ready for the night. By the time Relay for Life was about ready to start, the gigantic room which more resembled an aircraft carrier than a gym was full of people. Blankets, sleeping bags, and coolers crowded the center of the track where hundreds of people had already started to circle. Frisbees and footballs were being tossed where students waited their turn to walk the track. Dancers and jugglers performed to entertain interested onlookers. The most memorable moments in my opinion were when cancer survivors made a lone lap and then the rest of the participants made a silent lap to remember those who have battled cancer in the past.
Sign up a team of 10-15 people (friends, teammates, classmates, co-workers) at acsevents.org/relay/ny/ithacacollege. For more info, contact Colleges Against Cancer at cac@ithaca.edu. If you get a chance, please make a team or join one that has already been formed. It's a great cause and may be one of the most memorable events of the school year.

Quote of the Week
Spring Semester Halfway Point
As many of you know, next week marks the start of midterms. If you didn't know this you might have a few all-nighters to pull in the next few nights. This can be a pretty stressful period, so here's a few tips that I use to reduce my stress levels during times like these.
1) Make a list of things you have to do. This will keep you on track and in the right state of mind.
2) Don't overwork yourself. You don't want to get burned out within the first few days of studying.
3) If you need a break, take it. Go down the hall and hang out with friends. Play some music. Read a book. Go to the gym. Do whatever it is that allows you to relax.
4) Naps. 'Nuff said. (Just don't make them too long)
5) If you have to stay up all night, get some energy drinks to help you through the night. I recommend Red Bull or Monster. (Kate's favorite is Amp!) Also, if you don't have any food to make during the night try a Jimmy John's sub and save it for if you get hungry. If you don't end up getting hungry, eat it for lunch or a snack the next day.
6) Go to any review sessions available and try to not put off your work.
7) Remember: after this next week, you'll have a break to do whatever you want... and then it's just a countdown to summer.
Good luck everybody!

Kate's Corner - Howling at the full moon
This just in. On Saturday, March 3rd 2007 there will be a total lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Moon is full, and when the Sun, Earth and Moon are exactly on a line, or very closely so. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depends upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. You're probably wondering, "why on Earth [haha] would she be talking to us about a lunar eclipse? Why should we care?" Well, total lunar eclipses only occur about once 5 to 6 years. If you miss this one, you won't be able to see another until 2012!!
 In relating back to last week's Kate's Corner about magic, and things that make you get that really good feeling (like good movies, excellent books, hugs), I want everyone to go out a look at this special something. I want y'all to get that good feeling inside, and I think taking even 10 minutes to stare up into the night sky could be a wonderful way to relax and feel good(As long as the night skies decide to clear up!). This too is a type of magic, the type of magic created by nature, or science. Before I run off into math world, and all the things I think are neat about math (pi, the golden ratio, etc.), I will just say that before midterms this week, take some time to yourself and take in the beauty of nature with the lunar eclipse.
Make sure you look for the lunar eclipse right at sunset on Saturday, this will be the best time for viewing the eclipse. Observing tip: Find a place with a clear view of the eastern horizon and station yourself there at sunset. As the sun goes down behind you, a red moon will rise before your eyes.

The New Mascot....
 Well, the votes are in. It was a close race, but in the end Peg the Panda came out victorious. Peg was submitted by James Chapman and Haldane McFall. Next week Peg will start of E-vents in her new position. Thanks to everyone who participated in finding/sending in potential mascots as well as voting for which one will represent The E-vents Crew from now on. Perhaps the mascots who didn't win will make a few guest appearances in the future...

Kate's Corner
We hope y'all enjoyed Ithaca College's first snow day in over 10 years! I heard rumor of a late night snow-ball fight that included homemade shields and battle tactics! I thought today I would share with y'all what I did on my day off. The morning started out with me hitting the snooze on my alarm. As I sleepily exited my door to head to the bathroom for a shower, I noticed something written on all of the dry erase boards in the hall. "No school!" was the message on every single one. I came back to my room, checked my e-mail and voila! A snow day! I woke up my roommate Ashley, and she was so excited she ran downstairs to scream her excitement to our friend Chris, waking up our other friend Matt. While Matt attempted to go back to sleep Ash, Chris and I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast followed by another hour of sleep. We made plans to have a snow fight, come in, warm up, and have a homework party.We ended up going outside and enjoying the snow. This much is true. We weren't the only ones enjoying the snow! There were many students bundled up and covered in white as they tackled one another or attempted to roll or sled down the hill. After a leisurely dinnertime meal we came back to my room and watched Unbreakable, a great movie but not one that is very conducive to work.
Now I sit here finishing up E-vents, satisfied with how the day went. I also received a lovely e-mail from my father. I am originally from a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, just barely outside of the snow belt, but enough so that when they get 6 feet of snow we get just a few inches. My dad sent me an e-mail with some pictures and told me that it was the biggest storm he has seen since he moved back to Cleveland in 1986. Intense! And so I would like to share with y'all some Cleveland snow and a couple pictures of my home.
This is the inside of my garage (what is snow doing in there!?) and looking out into my backyard with some crazy drifts of snow!
 
A peek outside the front door early in the morning, before the snow really started to pile up!

Valentine's Day
Love it or despise it, Valentine's Day is almost here. Remember back in Elementary school when everyone got a Valentine with some popular cartoon character on it? A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle that said "You're radical!" or Strawberry Shortcake saying "You're sweet. Be mine." Back then Valentine's day was a fairly simple process. Yet, now that we're older, the nature of the game has changed a little. February 14th signifies love, chocolate, and passion... or maybe it's just commercialism for Hallmark. In this segment we will discuss both sides of one of the most disputed holidays of the year.
If you enjoy Valentine's Day, you may have already started preparing for it. Perhaps you already have a valentine or are waiting to ask that special someone. Valentine's day can signify a lot for you. It means that you might be getting candy, a card that's homemade and heartfelt, and a bouquet of beautiful roses. You might be getting a special outfit together for that special someone and your special plans. Cupid shot you with an arrow, and the first thing you saw was Valentine's Day.
On the other hand, you may hate the day of love. Valentine's day is just card companies creating a holiday to make more money, You don't need to celebrate a day with gifts to show your love for someone else. A cheesy day that's filled with anatomically incorrect hearts just doesn't mean anything to you. Go on and carry on your day just like you would, and ignore everyone wearing red, white, or pink.
Really, there is no right or wrong side of this debate. Like so many things in this world it's a personal preference. There will never be a law that states that everyone must give at least one valentine on February 14th, or one that outlaws any of the festivities. So if you're pro Valentine's Day, embrace it while you can. If you're not, then hold on. February 15th is just around the corner.

Reduce, Reuse, Recyclemania!
Do you ever wonder how Ithaca College compares to other colleges and universities in the recycling department? Do you think that your good recycling habits go unnoticed? Then get ready to feel some recognition! Recyclemania is a friendly competition among various colleges and universities across the US. It is aimed to increase student awareness of campus recycling programs and waste management. It will last for 10 weeks and will consist of numerous contests including the largest amount of recyclables per capita, the largest amount of total recyclables, least amount of trash, and the highest recycling rate. I'm pretty sure I've always recycled my cans and bottles. In New York it's a nice way to make a few quick dollars when you're short on cash. I can't say that I have always recycled other resources though. This contest can be a great way to help out the environment while developing personal habits that can last a lifetime. Last year Ithaca College was in the top 15 colleges in the country. Lets put IC back on the recycling map, but this time at #1! Visit http://www.ithaca.edu/ices or contact ices@ithaca.edu for more info. ICES meets Wednesdays at 8 in Friends 206.

About The New Authors
Hi Y'all! I am Kate Ulicky, proud to be one of the co-authors of E-vents! I am originally from a small city outside of Cleveland, Ohio (GO Browns!), and am currently a sophomore Mathematics major. I love corn. It's pretty much my most favorite thing ever, which is why my feature is called Kate's Corner. I also love puns, no matter how corny! :-) I also enjoy giving and receiving hugs. Did you know that you need 33 a day to be happy? And if you say to that "I'm pretty happy without that many," Just think of how happy you would be if you attained 33 a day! Please don't hesitate to approach myself or Chris with any type of question of confusion, we are more than happy and willing to help y'all in any way shape or form.
Hey everybody, I'm Chris Cherniss. I'm from a town a little more than an hour away called Canandaigua. Although some people may complain about the cold, I've kind of been raised on it. Whether it's skiing or participating in a polar bear club my friends started where we jump in the lake on New Year, I really don't mind the cold. I'm a Bio major and hope to do something in the medical field, but I'm not really sure what that is exactly. I love my friends, finding out new music before anyone else, Saved By The Bell, Collegehumor.com, and Salvation Army. I'm pretty cool with meeting new people, so if you see me on campus and say "hi" I won't ignore you (unless I didn't hear you because of my I-pod being on too loud).
Greek Life
This week kicks off rush events for the four Fraternity houses on campus. Remember, these events are open to EVERYBODY, but are geared toward those who might be interested in the fraternity so you can meet members and learn about the organization.
We'd like to thank ZackFord for giving us some unbiased information about the Greek life on campus. The four fraternities all abide strictly by the Ithaca College Greek Life Policy. This means that there is absolutely no hazing. There is a pledge process, but it is merely educational about the history and workings of each organization. The fraternities are also all substance-free. This doesn't mean you can't ever drink alcohol again if you are a member; it just means that alcohol, drugs, and other substances are never a part of any official Greek Life event. There are no real "houses" per say, but each of these four organizations has its own floor of a Terrace where its members can live together. If you become a member, you will be guaranteed housing on those floors.
Here are brief descriptions of the fraternities. The best way to learn more is to attend different rush events. (You can rush all the houses, but you can only ultimately pledge one.) Note: All fraternities have minimum GPA requirements.
Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia - Phi Mu is an all-male music fraternity. There are no requirements for major or minor, but be aware that its members are mostly music majors. The guys of Phi Mu live in Terrace 12.
Sigma Alpha Iota - SAI is an all-female music fraternity. Yes, they are called a fraternity even though they're all girls! Like Phi Mu, you don't have to be a music major or minor! The ladies of SAI live in Terrace 9.
Mu Phi Epsilon - Mu Phi is a co-ed professional music fraternity. This is the only one of the four houses that has a major requirement. You MUST be a music major, minor, or musical theatre major to become a member. The "Muphies" live in Terrace 4.
Kappa Gamma Psi - Kappa is a co-ed professional performing arts fraternity. Performing arts is open to much interpretation; in fact, most members of Kappa Gamma Psi are not music majors (but some are!). The Kappas live in Terrace 8.
Even if you have no desire to pledge, you're still totally welcome at all rush events! (They're usually quite entertaining.) If you are interested, make sure get to as many rushes as you can so you can get to know the members of the fraternity and let them know you're interested in receiving a bid to pledge.

 The End of ZITs This Week's Events!
SGA Podcast Quote of the Day and Valediction The End of Zack's Interesting Tidbits
Well, the day has finally come. Today is my last day as your E-vents guy.
It probably doesn't mean all that much to most of you, but it's a very sentimental moment for me. This is my last issue... #76. It's not going to be extensive or flashy, because I don't want it to be. I've done my part, and it is my turn to move on.
We've had some good times and some better times. I've told funny stories, given sagely advice, and kept you as up to date as possible. I hope it was as enjoyable for you as it has been for me. Providing this service to all of you for so long has truly been one of my greatest joys at Ithaca College.
Flopper has been there every week to make you smile as well. He too, shall depart with me. He has been a faithful companion and will continue to be as we begin new journeys.
I am going to leave you with this simple piece of advice: Don't stop believing. This advice is two-fold.
1) Do not give up hope. Do not stop dreaming. You are the only thing that can get in the way of becoming the difference you want to see in the world, so get over yourself.
2) When in doubt, sing Journey. Hold on to that feeling... Streetlight people...

3:00 PM - Ford Hall - FORD FEST. What is Ford Fest? Hmmm... Well, you know how music majors kind of live in the bubble that is Whalen Center? That's because our majors are really stressful, and when we're not bogged down with theory homework, we're practicing our primary instruments, our secondary instruments, sightsinging, keyboarding, and ensemble music. Let's just say the Counseling Center sees a lot of music majors who are overwhelmed. Ford Fest marks the end of classes, so we celebrate. A lot. We celebrate the holidays, our love for music, and our professors who we love so much. If you enjoy fun and entertaining musical performances, music theory and other inside jokes, and a jolly good time, I highly recommend you take a peek inside Ford Hall. (No, none of the above is named for me.)

Chris's Study Tips This Week's Events!
Kate's Corner - The Holiday Season
SGA Podcast Quote of the Day and Valediction Chris's Study Tips
As we approach the last week of classes you may notice that your stress level has increased significantly. You may also notice that you seem to have no time for anything, including sleeping and eating in some cases. These feelings are by no means uncommon for this time of year. But no matter how stressed you are, there are ways to combat the onslaught of work that has recently arrived into your life.
First of all, make a list of things to do with the dates that the assignments are due, and then post it someplace where it is easily
visible. This will allow you to judge just exactly how much you need to complete and in what time period it needs to be completed. I recommend putting the list above your computer. I'm a pretty frequent Facebook and Collegehumor.com checker, so when I'm surfing the internet and checking up on my "I met Screech!" group I can look up and remind myself that I should be doing something more productive. Plus, once you complete something on your list it feels pretty good to cross it off.
Don't procrastinate. I fall victim to this every year and always regret doing it. Writing a paper a few pages at a time over a week or so is a lot less stressful than waiting until the night before to start it. Even if you put off finishing it until the night before it's due, you won't have nearly as much to go until you're done.
Next, reserve some time to relax. A half hour to yourself isn't going to make you fail a class (unless maybe the class is in a half hour and you haven't started a paper). Use this time to do something that you enjoy. Take a nap. Read a magazine. Play some ball. Like doing laundry? That can wait; break is almost here.
This is an important piece of information to remember. No matter how hard college might seem right now, keep reminding yourself that break is just around the corner. Everything will be over soon enough, and you'll get a pretty decent amount of time to relax. Even if you won't be relaxing much, at least finals will be over. And that's really all that matters right now.

Kate's Corner
 Hey Y'all, in this week's Kate's Corner I'd like to talk to you about the holiday season and share with you some of my favorite holiday memories.
When the weather gets cold outside we are driven to the indoors (I like to call it ''static electricity season") and desire for the company of others, but also sometimes just wish to be alone. My favorite saying is "you need 33 hugs a day to be happy." I tell people this (and show them) as much as I can. The winter-blues can sneak up on anyone and within a few days really hurt them. I realize this sounds a little depressing. But there are lots of things that we all can do alone, and in interacting with others. On a personal level, it's always nice to find a wintertime activity to be involved in. This could be something as simple as picking up those knitting needles that laid around all summer or writing letters to friends and family for some holiday cheer. Also consider what you'll be doing over the sometimes lonely 3 weeks after the New Year before we return to IC. Look around your community for who needs help. A great place to look for volunteering opportunities in your area is www.volunteermatch.org
This Leads me in to one of my favorite winter-time memories which was volunteering with a local seeing-eye dogs charity. I helped them wrap presents at the mall during the holiday season to help raise money(which was a ton of fun!!), but I took away so much more than that. Working side by side with these women and men who devote a great part of their lives to such a seeming cause really had an effect on me. I guess you could say it truly put me in the holiday spirit, and this is something that anyone can do!
Another one of my favourite holiday-season memories is having sleepovers. Sleepovers are a great time at college! Staying up til late hours, talking about things you all can relate to (a nice break from academic work). Look around to your friends here on campus and focus on what you can relate to. Bind together and swap stories, share some good food, and just hang out. Even if you are stuck in your dorm with no chestnuts to roast, pull down the box of cheez-its that has been in your room for a couple months, microwave up some hot chocolate (à la Suiss Miss), throw a couple comfy blankets into the mix and voila! A nice little story circle!
Beat the winter blues and have fun doing it! If you're ever in need of a 33rd hug (or first or second), my hugs are always there. :-) This Week's SGA Podcast
This week on the Student Government podcast, Rob and Julia talk about about this past week's Dining Services Forum. Turnout was a little low, but there was a lot of great discussion about meal plans and such and a lot of people had their questions answered. They also talk about the upcoming Unity Conference and Rainbow Session happening this Saturday. Lots of good stuff on here!

Valediction - With TWO quotes!
Spectacular achievement is always preceded by spectacular preparation.
--Robert H. Schuller
Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
--Thomas H. Huxley
It's over!!!
Best of luck for the last week of classes!
Remember, you can contribute to E-vents too! SERIOUSLY. You can write your own feature, a letter to your peers, submit questions to Zack's Favorites, or propose all new ideas! Let me know if you're interested! (I say this every week and nobody ever responds, so I'll just leave it here.)
In the meantime...
Be well, do good things, and keep in touch. Pizzout.

ZITs - Zack's Guide to Being Sick at College This Week's Events!
Zack's Favorites - When The Weather's Bad
SGA Podcast Quote of the Day and Valediction ZITs - Zack's Guide to Being Sick at College
No, there's not an epidemic. But it does seem that it's one of those times of the year when everybody is getting sick at the same time. Every year, I put out this little guide of tips for caring for yourself or your friends when flue & cold season strike. Last March was actually the last time I put it out and I was very sick at the time. This year I have been remarkably lucky. I used to always get what I called my "Ithaca cough" every Autumn, where I would just cough for a couple weeks with no other symptoms. I haven't gotten that nor have I gotten much of a cold, so I know that this issue of E-vents will totally jinx me into getting sick.
Anyways, enough about me. You all are the ones who need help! Residence Halls can be very tight-knit communities, so here are some tips to help your friends and neighbors feel better!
Chicken Soup. When your buddy or your honey has the sniffles, nothing is better for them than a nice bowl of chicken soup. That's not always the easiest to prepare or serve in a residence hall, but Ramen makes a great substitute in a snap!
Emer'gen-C. This wondrous little "super energy booster" is great for supporting the immune system in times of need. It comes in neat little packets that you just mix with with a little bit of water and drink. It actually contains 1,000 mg of Vitamin C (that's 1111% Daily Value; take that OJ) and tastes pretty good too. You can pick it up at Wegmans or GreenStar--a must-have for beating any cold. I can put it in E-vents because I actually originally heard about it from my awesome boss, Kim. Even Chuck Norris recommends it! http://www.alacer.com/
A Card or Letter. It sounds so simple or silly, but it's really pretty powerful. (Remember Maura Cullen's presentation??). If your friend's stuck in bed, giving a nice little caring note to read is really a special gesture. They sell greeting cards in the Bookstore, but a nice homemade card truly comes straight from the heart. That time in March when I was sick, my super-awesome friend Laurel, who was actually in Australia at the time, IMed me to remind me of this really great time we were eating ice cream while we admired Niagara Falls at night, and it really lifted my spirits.
A Fun Carepackage. You don't have to go all out, but just give your buddy something to cheer them up or pass the time until they feel better. It's really easy to be creative and just gather a couple little items to make them smile.
A Movie. Did you know that the library has a huge collection of DVDs that you can check out (for free)?? Check it out the collection at http://www.ithacalibrary.com/research/dvds.php. Not only do they have all your favorite classic and recent movies, they also have a ton of TV shows on DVD, including Sex and the City, Family Guy, Friends, Seinfield, 24, Lost, The Simpsons, and The Sopranos. The movies or shows will help pass your friend's time and take their mind off their misery. It also might put them to sleep, which is great because they need their rest!
Dedicate a song. It's cheesy, but you know it'll make them smile. Request a song for your friend on ICB or VIC. You can listen to either of IC's radio stations online, so check them out at http://www.ithaca.edu/radio.
Do them a nice favor. A load of laundry or a little tidying up never hurt anybody, but it's certainly not something you want to think about when you're sick. Give your friend one less thing to worry about when they get better.
Help them to the health center. Sometimes rest, drugs, and vitamins aren't enough to help a person get better. Encourage your friend to go to the Health Center. Remember, aside from special tests like X-Rays or blood work, all the services at the Hammond Health Center are at no cost to you as an Ithaca College student. They even have an infirmary where your friend can stay to get nursed back to health. Your friend might not feel like it at the time, but I'm sure they'll thank you in the end.
Massage. This is my favorite. Most colds--aside from the runny nose, sinus drainage, sore throat, and tummy ache--just make you feel achy all over. Give your friend a little shoulder rub to make them feel a little better! (And then remember to wash your hands so you don't get sick too!)
There are a ton of other great ideas out there, too. Be creative... what would make your friend smile or feel better? Remember, we all get by with a little help from our friends, so be that friend!

Zack's Favorites - When The Weather's Bad
This week's question came from Heather, who lives in Talcott Hall. (Sorry it took two months to get to it!):
"What is Zack's favorite thing to do in Ithaca when there is bad weather (you know, most of the time)?"
It's an odd question be answering this week, considering how bizarrely nice the weather has been. It can't last too much longer!
When the snow really starts to fall, it gets harder to get off campus (though the TCAT usually keeps running). So then you have to gather up your friends and figure out how to entertain yourselves!
Sledding is always an option. There are two places IC students usually sled, down below Emerson Hall or between Boothroyd and Rowland. You have to be careful there because there's a lamp post at the bottom of the hill that could cause you quite a bit of pain if you should hit it, so be careful! Always sled with a group to be safe. There are a million other ways to have fun in the snow too, so take advantage of them!
If you're looking to stay warmer, game nights are always a blast. Order some food for everybody to share then get to playing! Residence Hall Lounges are perfect for games like Taboo, Cranium, Scene it!, and "Mafia." You would be surprised how quickly the hours pass and how much fun you have. If you're a little too tired for some hardcore gaming, movie nights are also effective for group bonding! (http://www.ithacalibrary.com/research/dvds.php )
I hope these tips help! When the Winter Weather hits, if you're still looking for ideas, let me know and I'll come up with some more!
Submit your "What is Zack's favorite..." question to icflopper@gmail.com.

Valediction

ZITs - Leftovers This Week's Events! Quote of the Day and Valediction ZITs - Leftovers
Well, folks, it's the home stretch! It will be the best of times and the worst of times. Such a shame that the holidays happen during crunch time. Or perhaps a blessing! As the workloads get heavier, the spirits get lighter!
These last four weeks are important for a lot of reasons. All those papers will finally be due, and then there are final exams. It is also a special time of year to spend with your new Ithaca College family. This might not mean much now, but the Winter Break is a lot longer than it looks. You'll know what I mean come mid-January. Cherish the time you have with your IC peeps now!
Also, a bitter truth approaches. My time as the E-vents guy ends soon. E-vents will be in very capable hands, but my departure nears! Alas.
Well, it's Sunday night and I have as much work to catch up on as the rest of you, so I'll stop yakking. Here are events to hold you over until Thursday! ;-)

ZITs - Zack's Super-Awesome Registration Tips This Week's Events!
A Special Message to Towers Residents Zack's Favorites - Event
SGA Podcast - Food Services Quote of the Day and Valediction ZITs - Zack's Super-Awesome Registration Tips
Registration for the Spring Semester is upon us! Unlike at Summer Orientation, you now have to take care of business yourself, including picking classes and registering them through Homer. It's so much easier than the program we all used before, so be glad you didn't have to use Degree Navigator; it was not so navigable. So, here is Zack's failproof step-by-step method for registering for classes! Most of this is recycled from my Degree Navigator guide, but hopefully I've made all the right adjustments so that it works for Homer. Get the coffee percolating and get ready to register!
Step 1: Set up a time to meet with your advisor! This is the most important step, which is why it's first! Your advisor is there to help you, and help you they will, but only if you find the time to meet with them. He or she will help you select classes to take, find ways to balance out your schedule, and also answer questions you might have about Homer. Your advisor will not actually schedule your classes; that you have to do on your own--hence the other steps. If you are in the school of Humanities and Sciences (H&S), you must meet with your advisor before you can register.
Step 2: Practice using Homer. You can get all the links you need through the registrar's website, here: http://www.ithaca.edu/registrar/student.htm. Remember, your log-in is your ID number and your password is whatever you set it as before, unless you get your PIN from your advisor (this varies from school to school). Now, even if you aren't ready to actually register for classes, you can still explore Homer and practice looking up classes, seeing what's required for your degree, etc. On the registrar's webpage, you'll see some helpful guides to Homer. I definitely recommend reading the FAQ and the Quick Guide for a better understanding of using Homer.
Step 3: Select your courses. Using the search is very easy. You have to select a subject to search through, but if you want, you can click on Accounting, hold "Shift," and scroll all the way down to Writing to select them all. This is where you can see all the classes available for next semester and the times they're offered in the Spring. You can also search for classes by time, day, professor, or classification. It's helpful to even prepare a list of ideas prior to meeting with your advisor, but make sure you take enough of the classes you need for your major so you don't fall behind. As you find the classes you want, write down their "CRN," or Course Registration Number, because you'll need it to register. (Note: Each section of a class has its own CRN.)
Step 4: Register! Check out the Registration Information page to see what day registration opens to you, based on how many credits you have. Once that day rolls around, log on to Homer, type in the CRNs for the courses you want, and register! You'll have your schedule for the Spring Semester before Thanksgiving! Chances are you'll end up having to make changes later, but at least you'll have a rough idea of what your semester will be like.
Other helpful tips:
Spread out your schedule! As nice as it might seem to have days off from class, you'll go crazy on the days your classes meet. Schedule some for MWF and some for TR.
Take at least one class just out of curiosity. Make sure your bases are covered for your degree and then pick a class that simply seems interesting to you. I definitely recommend taking sometime to explore various subjects, because you never know what you might find! There are some neat classes that often get missed from the Center for Culture, Race, and Ethnicity, so check those out!
Make the time to plan everything out ahead of time. Registration will go much smoother if you're prepared ahead of time and have lots of options ready. In fact, if you have your CRNs (and maybe some alternative CRNs) ready to go, actual registration will take less than five minutes, and then you can roll back into bed.
Don't get frustrated. Degree Navigator used to always break down, so Homer may have a glitch or two as well. If if you're having trouble, don't fret! Contact your advisor or ask a friend, but importantly, relax! If you don't get every class you want, your life will still be okay! 
Be careful when you ask others about classes they've taken. DO listen to details about format of the class, workload, evaluation, teaching method, and effective presentation of the material. DO NOT listen to details about someone's personal feelings about the class, professor, or subject matter. If you choose to use services like RateMyProfessors.com, do not let the feedback there make or break decisions for you.
Hopefully, that should help you take care of all problems that may arise. If you have questions about registering, I can try to answer them, but I would recommend you contact your advisor. After all, I'm only one guy and I can't answer EVERYBODY's questions! (I could try, but I'd go a little crazy.)

The victor of this war will be determined by which tower uses the least amount of electricity in a two week span. The war will begin at noon on Friday, November 3rd, and will end promptly at noon on Friday, November 17th. A measurement of each tower's electrical meter will be taken and recorded at the start the war. At the half-way point, Friday the 10th at noon, another measurement will be taken, and then given to your RA to post on your floor. This will be the marker of your progress through your competition against the East Tower.

ZITs - Have Your Voice Heard! This Week's Events!
A Special Message to Towers Residents Zack's Favorites - Halloween Memory
SGA Podcast - Outreach Results Quote of the Day and Valediction ZITs - Have Your Voice Heard!
First things first, mega kudos to everybody who got snowed in by The Lake Effect. The First Year Cabaret rocked my world, and I'm so glad you all had a great audience there to enjoy it. Congrats! It was super enjoyable.
Now, it's easy to get lost in the bubble that is "the college experience." Many of you may have forgotten that the national elections are next week! Unfortunately, it's too late to register or apply for an absentee ballot at this point. However, if you did apply for an absentee ballot, make sure you submit it right away! I know the Pennsylvania deadline for absentee ballots is tomorrow. And if you're registered to vote here in Ithaca, make sure that you DO vote on Tuesday!
But what about on campus? How can you have your voice heard as an Ithaca College student? One of the best ways is through Student Government, of course! What I thought I'd do this week is tell you about all the different committees currently working under SGA so that if you're interested in these different issues, you can get involved and share your ideas! If any of these committees interest you, contact the chair directly and they'll hook you up!
Sustainability Committee - Chair: Julia Pergolini (jpergol1@ithaca.edu) - The Sustainability Committee is dedicated to just that: sustainability. Working with the new ICare campaign, they'll be coming up with ways to help students make more responsible decisions on campus regarding food, energy, and transportation.
Handicap Accessibility - Chair: Kerry Dolan (kdolan1@ithaca.edu) - Ithaca College has a lot of challenges when it comes to Handicap Accessibility. This committee works to identify concerns on campus and advocate for change. They currently have a petition floating around, so check out the SGA table on Tuesdays to sign it.
Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) - Chair: Kerry Dolan (kdolan1@ithaca.edu) - This committee is dedicated to researching issues external to the campus that directly affect students, including textbook costs, financial aid legislation, and other matters of law and policy. They find resources to help students deal with these issues and organize efforts to advocate on behalf of the Ithaca College student body.
Food Service Advisory Committee - Chair: Matthew Wright (mwright1@ithaca.edu) - There have been a lot of concerns and ideas floating around about Meal Plans, and this is the place where all of them can be heard. This committee pursues ideas to make meal plans better, as well as taste-tests new food products, does mystery shopping, and finds new and innovative ways to improve Dining Services.
School Spirit Committee - Chair: Nicole Spitalieri (nspital1@ithaca.edu) - School spirit and school pride are qualities that are often lacking on our campus, and this committee is working to remedy that. For example, next week this committee will be selling Cortaca Jug t-shirts for just $7 in the Campus Center. If you'd like to help improve Bomber pride, you should definitely join up with this committee.
Off-Campus Relations Committee - Chair: Zack Ford (zford1@ithaca.edu) - Relations with our neighbors off-campus have been tense lately, especially with all the concerns students have with the noise ordinances. This committee is working to develop ways to help students living off-campus have better relationships with their neighbors, and then on a larger scale, how Ithaca College can have a better relationship with our greater community.
Wireless Internet Committee - Chair: Kyle Kelley (kkelley1@ithaca.edu) - This committee just formed this week! It will be investigating options for making the campus more wireless friendly, especially in residence halls!
International Student Needs Task Force - Contact: Tatenda Mbudzi (tmbudzi1@ithaca.edu) - This group is taking a look at the experience of International Students on our committee. What needs do they have that are not being met? How can we better accommodate their lives while they are members of our campus community? This group will report directly to Student Government for further action.
The Student Government is also working to restructure what has been called its "Diversity Council." Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks about how SGA will be working to bring students from different organizations across campus together to make our community more inclusive of all forms of diversity.
If you have any questions about Student Government, check out the SGA webpage at http://www.ithaca.edu/sga or email SGA directly at sga@ithaca.edu.

Zack's Favorites - Halloween Memory
My good friend Julie Bartolomei submitted this question:
"What is Zack's favorite Halloween memory to date?"
I'll have to go all the way back to like junior year of high school for this one. Maybe it was senior year, I don't remember. This really good friend of mine had this big party out in her barn. Hey, I'm from a hicktown, what can I say? The rule for the party was that you had to dress as the opposite sex. I was quite bashful, so my mother helped me come up with quite the delightfully conservative costume: Judge Judy. I had the robe with the doily and the curly haired wig. There was nothing significantly special that happened at the party, but it was just a really fun night with a lot of the people who meant the most to me in High School (most of whom I didn't get to see often because they went to different schools).
Submit your "What is Zack's favorite..." question to icflopper@gmail.com. (Don't worry if I didn't get to yours yet, I still have it!)

ZITs - In Memoriam This Week's Events!
Chris's Halloween Costume Guide
This Week's SGA Podcast - Capital Campaign Quote of the Day and Valediction ZITs - In Memoriam
This is the third time since I've been at IC that we've lost a student who I knew personally. There have probably been about five or six total. Of them all, Danielle Goren was the one I knew the best. She and I served as Orientation Leaders last Summer and were good friends. You soph omores who are still subscribed may have had her as an OL, even if you don't remember. She was also an RA, President of the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and very active in Hillel.
On Sunday, about 50 people from Ithaca College traveled to Allentown, PA to pay our respects to Danielle and her family. Students, faculty, and staff caravaned from campus, and some other students and alumni came from places as far as Boston and Los Angeles to be there. It was an extremely sad, sad event. Any loss always is, but Danielle was truly special, one of the purest, most selfless souls one might ever encounter on life's journey.
After the ceremony, most of the crowd dispersed from the temple, except for one particular chunk of people... everybody from Ithaca College. There we all were, exchanging hugs and supporting one another, even though not all of us knew each other. As sad as the day was, there was something truly remarkable about the way that members of the Ithaca College community supported each other. Most of us all visited Danielle's family to once more pay our respects before starting the three-hour journey home.
More than ever, I think of the Ithaca College community as a second family. I always have, but as your elected student leader, I feel it even moreso. Even though there are many of you that I don't know and may never meet, I care about you. When the community loses somebody, it affects all of us to some extent, even if we didn't know the person. Life really is too precious, and so is your time on South Hill.
I have a request for all of you. Take a moment this week and tell your friends how much you care about them. Give them a hug. Take just a little bit of time to let them know you appreciate them. It is the sappiest, cheesiest thing in the world--I know--but I promise you won't regret it. Many of my friends and I are still very much grieving, and I know I desperately wish I still had the opportunity to tell Danielle what she meant to me. We're on this earth for way too short a time, and every moment we don't spend supporting one another is a wasted moment.
Thank you all just for being here. Each of you helps inspire me to do my best, whether you believe it or not. Please do not hesitate to ever ask me for a hug, and if anybody is looking for someone just to talk to about whatever is going on your life, I'm available. It might not mean much, but it's true. Have a lovely week.

Chris's Halloween Costume Guide
As most of you may know, Halloween is almost here. This is a pretty amazing time of year. I mean how many other times during the year could you dress up like Ali G or Pee Wee Herman and not get weird looks?
If you haven't thought of a costume yet (whether it's because you've been too busy or just because you think you're too old to be wearing a costume), it's not too late! There are plenty of places in and around town to visit to arrange an awesome costume that will be sure to turn heads wherever you plan on going!
I recommend checking out the Salvation Army. If you're heading south on Route 13 (the road where Wegmans and all of those plazas are located) the Salvation Army will be on your left. You can find a lot of pretty cool clothes to make a fairly cheap costume. If you find a leopard print vest, buy it and go as Ferris Bueller.
You could also check out the Commons. Here you could find Evolution and Trader K's. Evolution is sort of a trendy shop and usually has a good amount of costume apparel during this time of year. Last year they had the light blue and orange top hats from Dumb and Dumber. Trader K's is basically a Salvation Army. If you decide to go this direction and one store doesn't have the items you need, then the other store might.
Finally, you could see what the new costume store up at Pyramid Mall has in stock. It might be a little more expensive, but they have a good selection to choose from. I think I even saw a Ben Franklin costume there.
If you don't get any candy from now until Wednesday morning, don't worry about it. All Halloween candy goes on sale on November 1st, so stock up on all the fun-sized candy you want. No matter what you dress up as this weekend, be safe and have fun!

This Week's SGA Podcast - Capital Campaign Quote of the Day and Valediction ZITs - A Special Holiday
In the past, I've written this bit in subtle and creative ways, but since it's the last opportunity I have to do it in this forum, I'm not going to dress it up.
Yesterday was National Coming Out Day, so I wanted to tell you all that I am gay.
This probably isn't news to most of you, but I wanted to share it nonetheless. It's been almost 2 years and 3 months since the first time I said those words... to myself, or to anybody else. Despite how many times I've said it, I still draw such strength from being able to acknowledge that I am who I am. There are so many people out there in the world--and likely right here on this campus--that haven't found the courage to do that. The world is still so hateful and scary that people are still denying themselves and carrying an intense burden that nobody deserves.
Some of you may wonder why I choose to publicly come out like this. There are several reasons I suppose, but the most important is this: every one of you can now not deny that you know somebody who is gay. Many students arrive at college having never met someone who is gay. It was true for me. It was a revelation when I realized that many of the close friends I'd made were gay and it completely opened my eyes to what exactly that means.
This year's Coming Out Day theme is "Talk About It," so that's what I'm doing. This week, Kate and Chris are actually getting their first chance to start writing parts of E-vents, but I didn't want to leave this out. I hope you'll take some time this week and check out a new resource called "A Straight Guide to GLBT Americans." I think it'll help explain what it means when someone comes out to you, as I just have, plus some other things you might not know.
Also, if nothing else, know that I am here for you, and I'm opening myself up in a way that might even seem excessive, but I don't think it is. I encourage you to share any thoughts you have about being gay... if anybody wants to talk about anything or if you just have some questions, please share your thoughts and ask your questions. You will have my complete confidence. Being gay is only a small part of who I am, but it's a part of me that I want to share with you, to help support you if it can. If you're looking for other resources, you should definitely contact Lis Maurer, our wonderful LGBT Services Coordinator at lmaurer@ithaca.edu or 274-7394 or just stop by the LGBT Resource Room, which is in the basement of the Health Center, next to the Counseling Center's office. Have a great Fall Break everybody!
Kate's Corner - Fall's Finale: Midterms
I remember last year around this time, a freshman on IC campus, worrying about my 7 PM Math Midterm. Was it really going to take 3 hours? Worrying about studying probabilities and coin flips my head was buried down in books rather than around enjoying the last of Ithaca’s nice weather for the year. I came back from Fall Break only to find that in just a few days, the trees had been stripped of their leaves. I knew it was truly late fall when I forced myself to wear my crocs with socks. This year I have made a point to enjoy the nice weather while it lasts, and would like to share some of my favorite fall things to do on and around campus. Check out the Ithaca Farmers' Market. They’re open through the end of October on the weekends, with lots of hand-crafted items and foodstuffs for sale! You can even get some lunch, sit on the dock, and watch the boats pass by. Go to their website at http://www.ithacamarket.com/home/ Did you know that we have hiking trails right here on campus? Gather up a few friends and take a relaxing and scenic hike on one of the trails located beyond the steps of the Terraces, or climb the hill between Rowland and Boothroyd. On a somewhat windy day, get a blanket, a couple layers of clothing, your beautiful self and find a nice spot under a big tree with lots of leaves. Take a half hour, or even 15 minutes, watch the leaves fall and relax. This is a great de-stresser that hardly takes any time. Play Leaf Football. Never heard of it? My grandmother used to play it when she was our age, but it’s a timeless game! With a group of friends (or people who happen to pass by), find a quad with a tree somewhere, divide into teams and set up bounds and end zones. Pick a team to be on offense. Their job is to catch a leaf as it falls from the sky and try to get to the opposite end zone before the other team tags (or tackles) the person with the leaf. A game of football that anyone can enjoy. Study in the commons! This weekend, grab your books, your friends, and spend a day downtown. Get some coffee at Juna’s and head upstairs for a nice studying area. With midterms coming up, studying somewhere other than the library or you room (which I am sure is spotlessly clean) could make a world of difference in your attitude towards midterms. My midterm only took two and a half hours, not three. It doesn’t change the fact that I let myself miss out on some of the great things Ithaca has to offer while the weather is nice. Try to get outside at least once over the next week, and I promise you’ll come back from Fall Break feeling refreshed and ready to walk to class (15 miles uphill both ways) in the snow. Chris-tory: This Week In History
Hey everyone! This week I’m dedicating my section to events that have happened this week in history. Maybe you can use one of the facts in a paper. Maybe you’ll be asked a trivia question somewhere down the road and one of these tidbits will contain the answer. Maybe you’ll just mention this trivia in a conversation. Whatever you do, I hope you find these dates and events interesting.
October 12 1823 - Charles Macintosh, of Scotland, sells the first raincoat. (I wonder if he was a business major…) October 13 1983 - Ameritech Mobile Communications (now Cingular) launched the first US cellular network in Chicago. (Talk about raising the bar.)

ZITs - A Remarkable Moment in Ithaca College History This Week's Events!
Zack's Favorites
This Week's SGA Podcast - Meal Plan Mania Quote of the Day and Valediction ZITs - A Remarkable Moment in Ithaca College History
Do you know the name Robert Iger? If you're a music student, the number 2105 might come to mind, as that is where in Whalen you can find the Robert A. Iger Lecture Hall. But perhaps you did not realize that Bob Iger is one of our most notable alums. Who knew when he graduated in 1973 and began his career as a weatherman that one day he would rise to become the CEO of The Walt Disney Company? That's right, the head of Disney went to school right here on South Hill, and next week, he's coming back.
Next Thursday, Ithaca College is kicking off the public phase of its first-ever Comprehensive Capital Campaign. Never before has Ithaca College engaged in fundraising of this scale. The Campaign has already been in action for about five years in what's called the "quiet phase," during which various donors and alumni were contacted to create a base of donations. This week, we throw open our doors to the world for the next 16 months to continue our efforts to raise an enormous sum of money. This money will fund, among other things, new facilities like the Athletic & Events Center, academic programs, and scholarships. This event is truly an important marker in the history of IC, rivaling our move up from the city of Ithaca to South Hill.
Bob Iger is only one of the MANY notable donors and alumni who will be present on our campus on Thursday and Friday. So take a look at this Thursday's schedule. You'll see a presentation by Bob Iger during the noon hour in Ford Hall. You'll see School receptions in the late afternoon where you can meet many of the guests. And on Friday? Master Classes all over campus. There are a few events closed to the public, such as Thursday night's gala in the Hill Center, but maybe you can see SportsCenter's Karl Ravech '88 broadcasting live from the event on ESPN.
Have I successfully hyped this yet? We are lucky enough to be students at Ithaca College at a monumental time. I'm jealous of those of you who will still be here over the coming years to witness the transformation our campus is undertaking. I hope we can generate a new Bomber pride that's never existed before.
Check it out.

Zack's Favorites
(This is a feature where you can ask me any "What is Zack's Favorite _____?" question (icflopper@gmail.com), and each week I'll answer one! No one has really asked me any questions, so I just keep making them up on my own. Maybe you'll learn something, maybe you'll laugh, or maybe you'll think it's totally lame and pointless. Here it is anyway.)
I have a feeling this week's question was meant to be sarcastic, but it's the only one I got, so I'll go ahead and answer it anyway!
James from the East Tower asks: "What is zach [sic] ford[']s favorite reason for loving himself so much?"
Dear James and Everybody Else Who Receives E-vents,
Well, first things first. Not to sound like Stuart Smalley, but I think loving yourself is a very important thing to do. You can't be happy in life if you're not happy with yourself. You can't expect the world to love you if you don't love yourself. Take yourself as you are, or find flaws and make them better, but either way, it's important to find a you that you are content with. Until then, you won't be able to tap the self-esteem and confidence that you truly have. Find a way to feel good about the life you are living and the decisions you are making and trust me, you can change the world.
There are some people who love themselves too much and who expect you to kowtow to them. Hopefully, you don't think that I fit that description, because if you do, then I'm not doing my job right. I do love myself, but only in such a way that I believe I have the potential to impact other people's lives in a positive way. Any of you who have met me know that I'm very chill, and always happy to chat with any random stranger, and any of you who've ever contacted me with a question or concern know that I do my best to answer the question or address the concern.
So what is my favorite reason for loving myself so much? I think it could be described as my "fortune," but by that I guess I really mean my ability to make the most of the circumstances I'm dealt. Do you realize how much it means to me that it gets to be my job to enhance your life at Ithaca College through E-vents? It is just as rewarding to send it to you today as it was over two years ago when I first assumed the role of "E-vents Guy." It's not because of the fame. I don't care that 3,300 people see my name in their inbox once a week... but the fact that I am responsible for providing 3,300 people with a weekly resource that informs and (hopefully) entertains them? What a thrill.
I love myself because I can make a difference. I love myself so that I can share that love with each and every one of you. If I never say it again, thank you for that privilege.
(Dr. Cullen... I know you said my letter had to be written, but does the fact that it's to 3,300 people make up for it being an email? This was it.)
This Week's SGA Podcast - Meal Plan Mania
This week on the Student Government podcast, Rob and Julia talk about meal plans! It's a topic to get you hungry! After Rob and Julia chitchat about some of the issues that are often raised in regards to meal plans, Rob heads out into the dining hall to get student FEEDback. Find out what your peers are thinking and learn the Chicken Finger Song. It's educational and entertaining (not unlike E-vents)!
On a sidenote, if anyone wants to learn more about meal plans and help make dining services the best it can be, you should consider joining the Food Service Advisory Committee, chaired by Matthew Wright. Drop him a line at mwright1@ithaca.edu!
Check out how easy it is to get the Student Government podcast. Just open iTunes, go to the music store, and search for "ithaca college" or "sga." Click on "IC SGA" and the podcast menu will come up. Click "Subscribe" and you'll be set. It'll automatically download the newest episode (today's) and you can go back and download old episodes too! (Note: You do not need iTunes or an iPod to listen to the SGA Podcast; it is always available on the SGA website at http://www.ithaca.edu/sga)
Valediction
There are no bad fundraisers and there are no bad fundraising campaigns. There are only bad visions and dreams.
--Robert H. Schuller
IT'S OVER!! Last week was a little slow, but this week is quite the opposite! Get excited. Get very excited.
Remember, you can contribute to E-vents too! SERIOUSLY. You can write your own feature, a letter to your peers, submit questions to Zack's Favorites, or propose all new ideas! Let me know if you're interested! In the meantime...
Be well, do good things, and keep in touch. Pizzout.

E-vents is a weekly newsletter designed to keep first-year students (and whoever else) informed about on-campus and community events. It is produced through the Office of First Year Programs and Orientation, though all thoughts and opinions belong strictly to its fabulous author, Zachary Ford, and his penguin, Flopper.
