By postpioneer on Nov 12, 2010

The Great Northeast Collegiate Hockey defending champion C.W. Post Pioneers defeated New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), 3-1 on October 29th but suffered their first loss Saturday in overtime against Kutztown University.

Against NJIT, the Pioneers took a 1-0 first period lead on junior Lawrence Kutsovsky’s first career goal off a scramble in front of NJIT goaltender, Mike Lipinski. Securing a rebound off a John Ninivaggi shot, Kutsovsky lifted a wrist shot over Lipinski’s left shoulder at 12:23 of period one. Just 5:04 later, Brian “Sully” Sullivan put Post on top 2-0, with his fifth goal of the season. Carrying the puck down the right side, the senior winger shot the puck towards the net, where it deflected in off a NJIT defenseman.

Greetings Post Pioneer!

I am an avid reader of the Pioneer and would like to say your doing a great job! I do however have a suggestion. What about a page for job opportunities on campus. I work at the Hilllwood Commons Information Desk and students always ask, “Whose hiring!” I send them to the Pep Office, but why not have help wanted ads for jobs that are searching for work study or budget students. Just throwing it out there.

“I’ve Lost the Weight of my Bulldog”

By postpioneer on Nov 12, 2010

C.W. Post’s Senior Assistant Director of Student Life has successfully completed his first round of P90X, and he’s ready for more. Eric Zirlinger, 30, began the fitness program five months ago. He has since lost 50 pounds and gone from a 33” to a 28” waistline. “I feel… glorious,” Zirlinger said with a smile. “I’ve lost the weight of my bulldog.”

The P90X fitness program is a 90-day program that is designed to get its users “ripped” in 90 days. It consists of working out six days a week, and parallels a nutrition plan.

Organic vs. Non-Organic

By postpioneer on Nov 12, 2010

In one hand, you’re holding a conventionally grown granny smith apple. In your other hand, you have one that’s labeled organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol. This scenario, provided by the Mayoclinic.com/health, leaves us with the questioning which one to actually choose. However before making this decision, it is important to become educated on what the word “organic” even means and why it is beneficial. There are several distinctions between the organic and non-organic growing process. The conventional way of farming consists of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, chemical herbicides, as well as hormone and antibiotics given to animals.  On the other hand, organic farming consists of natural fertilizers, insect traps, rotating and mulching crops, and organic feed for animals. Just the sounds of these words gives us a good idea of which products and techniques are harmful and which ones are natural and safe.

Campus Dining Compared

By postpioneer on Nov 12, 2010

Food is an essential part of every student’s college experience. While food service may not make or break college life, it definitely affects it. At C.W. Post, ease compels most residential students to eat most their meals in the Winnick Student Center. Sentiments about the food range from good to terrible.

“It’s not so much the food, as the people who work there. Some of the people who work in Winnick just do not give a crap and cook it poorly,” said Freshman Eric Holloway. “For instance, sometimes I wait around Jimmy, the pizza guy, because he makes remarkable pies. I wish that everyone cared about their job as much as him.”
