The 2010 C.W. Post Turkey Trot was a huge success yet again for the 9th straight year.
Athletes, staff members, students, and walkers all participated in the five-kilometer race in which they all donated non-perishable foods for families in need for the upcoming holiday.
A thrilling 42-38 win over Slippery Rock put a bow on an exciting season of Pioneers football. Even at 7-4, the Pioneers fell short of the playoffs and will ride into the off-season as spectators again. But with any season come the end-of-season awards, the best players and moments from the 2010 football season.
The women’s swimming team lost its first meet to Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) this past Saturday. The Pioneers fell behind with a final score of 138-152.
“It was tough because we are a small team compared to them,” said Sandra Kirstein, the C.W. Post sophomore. Despite having only 10 swimmers, the lady Pioneers walked away with nine first-place finishes.
As reported in the Pioneer on October 27, the Jericho Water District guaranteed that it is supplying the C.W. Post campus with the best water. It said it would be even better than bottled water.
So, the Pioneer decided to test the truth of that promise. After holding a taste test during the common hour in Hillwood Commons, there were some contradicting results. There were more votes for bottled water than Post’s drinking water. Out of the 11 students who volunteered for the water tasting, only two of them preferred Post’s drinking water. The rest of the students preferred the Poland Spring bottled water.

From ordering movie tickets to watching a quick Youtube on how to do Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” dance, it’s safe to say you can search for just about anything. But what about everything in between? Just as you can use the Internet in a positive way, leaves an even greater chance to use it in a negative way. The web is filled with portals of dissenting sites. One in particular is Pro-Ana, which is a self-hate site used to influence anorexia to young teens.
Many of us assume Twitter to be just another social networking system like Facebook and Myspace. It started as a fun way to post pictures and update one’s status with activities of their daily life, however it grew into something much more than that. Today, students across college campuses are using Twitter to find and market themselves for jobs.
