“Well my boyfriend and I, when we do have the opportunity to have sex, pick at least three new positions to try,” Michelle, a senior at C.W. Post, said. She was part of a group of friends seated in Hillwood during common hour who, in addition to eating, were all looking at a relatively new iPhone application that illustrates different sexual positions. It’s called ‘kalm sutra’ and is a hit with college students.
Greek life has had a long withstanding reputation of being just a bunch of people getting together to party. Movies like Old School and Animal House portray perfect examples of the stereotype society has on Greek life. However, Greek life is not about the boozing and partying, it’s about philanthropy, trust, sisterhood/brotherhood, and growing up.
Dear readers,
So what’s next on the agenda? We’ve all gone through the endless nights of studying, wanting to pour the coffee over our heads, hoping it would somehow give us even more energy to stay up and finish cramming for those midterms. Then we rejoiced the end of midterms by enjoying the spooky festivities of Halloween this past weekend.
On Thursday October 28th, Diane Kennedy, the President of the New York News Publishers Association (NYNPA) visited C.W. Post’s campus. She traveled all the way from upstate in Albany, NY to share her experience and knowledge of working in the industry of journalism and politics. As the President of NYNPA,…
In early October, graduating journalism majors received a jolt of fear as they found out a required class would be canceled for their final semester.
Journalism 56, and Broadcasting 54 normally ran on Wednesdays in the spring semester. The Producing the TV Newscast course took up two class periods and went from 12:30-6:10 p.m. The first half of the class was devoted to developing new story ideas, and critiquing work from previous weeks. Students then went out and shot the stories in pairs, one being in charge of the camera, the other being the reporter. After the footage was recorded, students edited and produced news packages much like those you see on television.
Coming off a tough overtime loss to first place St. Thomas Aquinas College by a score of 2-1, the Pioneers came out focused and determined for their next games at Molloy College (3-11) and Mercy College (6-6-2).
The Pioneers volleyball team walked away from their “Dig-Pink” match on Saturday with a split. The games were played as part of the CW Post-held tri-match that took place in the Pratt Center and featured a very pink setting as coaches from all three teams wore pink and the stands were heavily decorated in the color in order to honor the “Dig-Pink” cause. In addition to CW Post, the match included teams from Dowling and American International Colleges.
The C.W. Post Pioneer Women’s soccer team continued their winning streak by defeating Caldwell College and Mercy College this past week. Prior to the two matches the Pioneers had beaten Wilmington University, Dowling College and Saint Thomas Aquinas College in impressive fashion.
On Monday, the Pioneers easily took care of Caldwell College in a non-conference match up. Midfielder Tove Eriksson opened up the scoring for Post at 21:47. Five minutes later freshman Alexa Niciforo would score her first of two goals she tallied in the game.
The best way to judge a team is not by the number of wins or losses it has, but by the way it plays each specific game. So while a 5-3 record for CW Post is not the most glamorous mark, it tells a deep, promising story. Case in point: the Pioneers’ 50-48 loss against Kutztown.
A four-year starter who has never sat out a single game in her college career, Kristina Gustafson has virtually been the backbone of the Pioneers’ field hockey team. After spending her first two collegiate seasons at midfield, Gustafson was voted Second-Team All-PSAC her sophomore year before she switched to defense her junior and senior seasons. On defense Gustafson subtly maintains control of the game while always keeping a positive attitude. Not only does Gustafson excel on the field, however, but the senior from New Braintree, Massachusetts also maintains one of the highest GPAs on the team, garnering a spot on the NFHCA National Academic Squad each of her three years completed at C.W. Post.
