Founded in 2004 by Tim Horstman, it started with a core of four people and has grown since then. Tim Horstman, class of ’08, has been an EMT for the past three years as well as a member of the Geneva Fire Department, and a Chi Phi brother. Along with the help of fellow students and EMTs Nicole Henderson ’08, and Lee Dickinson ’08, they have developed protocols for the current program. The program created at the Colleges was based off of a program started at Hamilton College, a program in which students become NY state certified EMTs and respond to calls at the school throughout the academic year. In much the same manner HWS students take a class at Finger Lakes Community College to become officially recognized NY State EMT. They will then be able to respond to emergency calls on campus. The EMT class offered initially cost $800 dollars up until this year with the recognition of the agency code the state will sponsor an unlimited number of students at no cost, to take the class and become certified. The news of the sponsorship is one of victory for Horstman, Henderson and Dickinson. “Initially the costs were what kept people away from the class, the first year we had fifty people sign up but when they heard the costs associated they were unable to continue. With the incentive that they do not have to pay, we are hoping more people will sign up” commented Horstman. One current objective for the group include making a first response team on campus, the first response team would allow for students to respond to emergency calls up to 10 minutes faster than the ambulance, which they hope will help save lives. The first response team welcomes all to join, with no experience required.

HWS eMTs Gain State Recognition

HWS eMTs have gained momentum for their cause. After 3 years of hard work, it has finally paid off. Recently granted an official agency code by the state, meaning state sponsorship for students to take the eMT class, and gaining support from the school and student governments the program is almost to the point of completion.

Founded in 2004 by Tim Horstman, it started with a core of four people and has grown since then. Tim Horstman, class of ’08, has been an eMT for the past three years as well as a member of the Geneva Fire Department, and a chi Phi brother.

campus ReportThe Herald

The negative stigma of common Ground is one that quickly attaches to the fresh minds of first years every fall semester. It seems as though upperclassmen who did not have spectacular common Ground classes spread news that cG is a boring experience. Rachel Sumner has put in many an effort, as well as great ideas and solutions to the ways of the old cG. I am a cG mentor this year, and I can honestly say that these first years are just plain not interested in sitting through common Ground. It is a class that meets once a week for seven weeks, and lasts for an hour and a half. One would think this insignificant time commitment would not hurt the busy schedule of a first year. Granted, I have a great cG group this year. The students are enthusiastic, attentive, respectful, and eager to learn more about the colleges. common Ground is taking a nice turn for the better under the hands of Rachel Sumner’s great work. However, in my experience these past six weeks, it seems as though common Ground should focus more on what can be relatable to first years.

When I started discussing diversity and what that meant

to the students in my cG group, they became extremely silent and attentive; no side comments, no laughter, just silence. I told them about a documentary I had seen in high school entitled “Paris is burning”. This documentary highlights the transsexual community of New York city. It shows the hardships these men go through, as well as the lengths they take to get to where they want to be. I explained that it is important to understand that people come from many different backgrounds, and that it really can be enriching to be close to someone who is completely different from the way that we are because it helps us diversify our lives.

I believe that if in the future common Ground focuses more on subjects that first years can relate to, then maybe they might take common Ground more seriously. If cG focused more on issues like college lifestyle, diversity, and acceptance, they can learn more about their own identity. I believe that common Ground should start focusing more on the colleges, and teaching students about how their lives can be at the colleges.

common Ground Doesn’t Quite capture First Year’s Interest

HSG UPDATE

Last weeks meeting if the Hobart Student Government (HSG) started out with the announcement of a joint meeting with the William Smith congress planned for next week. This follows through with one of the goals the HSG set up at the beginning of the year and will be a great opportunity for the two quorums to get together.

Paul Zaroogian, the SAGA general manager, then took the podium for his bi-annual meeting with the HSG. After a brief update on how things are going on the business side of things, the quorum brought up several questions and complaints. Zaroogian fended off questions regarding free refills at the café, as well as the discrepancy of the value of a SAGA mean swipe ($8.50) and the value at the café or cellar Pub swipe, which is $5.75. On other issues such as the sticky tables in the café, as well as the proposed opening of the cellar Pub on Saturday and Sunday for football, beer and wings, seemed to be taken a little more seriously by Zerubian who made it seem like it could actually get done.

There was then a proposal by colleges Against cancer for official club status which will be voted on next week. The club hopes to hold an overnight ’Relay for life’ in which participations will walk around the colleges track with candles

and hopefully raise $40,000. In other club news the Nordic Ski club was approved to official club status with 16 votes.

There was some discussion concerning the legitimacy and of many of the clubs on campus based on the fact that there was $37,000 of student tax dollars, which had been allocated to various clubs, left over from last semester. These funds, which come directly out of student tuitions, often go unused. This has led many to concerns that some clubs fail to follow through on their plans, as well as possible ways to hold them accountable for their organizations.

In keeping with the hour long meeting time, discussion on the current labor dispute regarding the dining hall renovation was put off for the second week in a row. The picketers which can be seen with their giant inflatable rats are protesting the Pike co. as well as HWS for the low percentage of workers who receive essential benefits and adequate wages. Michael Davis, a Marketing Specialist for the International brotherhood of electrical Workers, reported that his group has yet to receive any attention from President Gearan or the Pike co. Davis pointed out that this protest has full support of many of the faculty, and hopes that students will gradually rally to their cause.

were promised a substantial fund from the HSG, and the WSc is still looking into their own contribution. The money they are looking to gain will be used to gain supplies necessary to respond to critical situations, and sponsor training for higher levels of care.

A portable AeD or an automated external defibrillator, one area Horstman is looking to focus some funds on so the eMTs can carry it on hand, according to the FDA online is “a portable automatic device used to restore normal heart rhythm to patients in cardiac arrest. An AeD is applied outside the body. It automatically analyzes the patient’s heart rhythm and advises the rescuer whether or not a shock is needed to restore a normal heart beat. If the patient’s heart resumes beating normally, the heart has been defibrillated.” This

device greatly enhances the chance of survival, and would add a greater sense of safety on campus, there are currently AeDs stationed in key areas around campus this device would be carried by the eMTs, in a case where there are no AeD machines near by.

Gaining a car is also a future plan so the team can respond to calls all over campus if necessary, as well as the local community again adding to the safe environment that the campus strives to have.

The club is looking to expand out into community events including blood pressure screenings, cPR classes, and other health classes to aid with the school community and the Geneva area.

They also intend to attend a National conference, collaborating with about 80 schools nationwide including, Virginia Tech, Texas A and M, University of Maryland, Syracuse, whom operates the mass casualty trailer which is used in mass casualty

situations in the area. The schools collaborate on programs and compete to show their skills.

even though, Horstman and fellow eMT leaders will be graduating this year, the group is made of 17 eMT students and 8 already certified eMTs, he remains positive that the leadership and club will remain. New officers will be elected in the spring and will be mentored and trained in the final semester.

The group is ever grateful to everyone who helped them achieve the status they have gained in the past three years. Horstman also noted that his efforts were aided much in part by many faculty at HWS, “We would like to thank all those people who have helped us including betti Green, Sarah entenmann, Dean Flowers, Dean DeMeis, and President Gearan.”

The club, which is open to anyone interested in eMS (with training or without) meets on Mondays at 8pm in coxe 07, all are welcome to attend.

This weekend, the Hobart and William Smith Debate Team--comprised of three, two-person teams -- dominated their competition at the University of Vermont debate tournament.

After the five preliminary rounds of debate, the HWS team of David Hernandez ‘09 and Daniel Thorson ‘09 were in first place with a remarkable 13 out of a possible 15 points.

In a rare feat, all three HWS teams qualified for the semi-final round. Two of these teams advanced to the final round – along with a team from bard and a team from Rochester. This resulted in half of the teams in the final round being from HWS.

bard won the final round to take first place and three HWS debaters took individual honors, winning 4th place (Alyssa Dechow ‘09); 7th place (David Hernandez ‘09); and 10th place (Samuel Koval ‘09).

The HWS teams included Thorson and Hernandez, Thomas Frohlich ‘09 and Dechow, and Tiffany bennett ‘08 and Koval. Renee Gehring ‘10 served as an adjudicator.

It’s 3:00 AM and you just concluded your final paragraph when you decide to cut out some information and paste it elsewhere in your paper. The dreaded moment comes when the click of the mouse reveals a lifeless “paste” and you suddenly realize the information is lost. As college students, this gut-wrenching moment has occurred at one point or another; however could it be possible that we are cutting information in our real lives? If we were to ask today’s youth if they knew more about the duration of Paris Hilton’s jail time or the areas under Genocide Alerts, it is likely that Paris Hilton would be a more knowledgeable subject matter. So, the question is who is to blame for our material-based understanding of the world? Perhaps the blame should be put upon ourselves. In-your-face news has taken the back seat to convenient online websites, as Tony Reid grimly relayed with his visit to The colleges this past week. As proud Americans, it is rewarding to hear what we want to hear- even if that means we are only receiving a fraction of the truth. conservatives are gratified when their political positions are affirmed by watching Fox News, as are Liberals in their viewing of cNN. So we are comfortably numb to any legitimate news because we are resistant to plunging out of our comfort zone. An issue focused on by the media currently is Global Warming, a serious and very existent environmental problem. Leonardo Dicaprio uses his celebrity status to make notice of this hazardous issue, and thanks to his attempts as well as other media sources this is a conflict that has been recognized. What happens, however, when major media outlets and celebrity figures do not advertise their concern for a world issue- does this indicate a lack of importance? Monsoon flooding that demolished parts of South Asia in the recent months as well as India’s continued use of child Labor (despite a law enacted last October that seemed to be a promising solution for India’s injustices) are just two examples of global issues that are blurred by the bright lights of “more appealing” news stories. India has the largest number of child labors in the world, and because this statistic doesn’t directly affect us Americans, it is easy to name it as insignificant news. As college students preparing to enter the career world, it is vital that we set an example for younger generations and put an end to our self-censoring of news. It is our responsibility to receive news and react to it, rather than letting important issues go unnoticed. In looking past our own self-interest and learning to delve into news stories that may not necessarily appeal to us, we may not recover our lost information- but we will learn to save the information before making the decision to cut.

With many shows planed for this fall, including

upcoming appearances by Gym class Hero’s as well as The Wailers, HWS students should be getting pretty excited for what is to come. Given the $200,000 grant for concerts over the next two years, there is a great opportunity to enrich our campus with events that are sure to draw attention from the student body.

This past weekend there was a fantastic show at Skidmore college. RJD2, a solo turntable act started out the night and got the packed gymnasium feeling as if were a much more legitimate venue. RJD2 provided an example of the perfect act to have in a community such as our

own, with some jacked up instrumentals and hip hop providing a sound that anyone should enjoy.

Then Soulive, a funky organ trio out of Woodstock, NY took over and kept everyone on their feet until the show ended at 12:30PM. Soulive is one of the most impressive acts out there currently, bridging the gap between jazz, funk, and reggae perfectly.

being there it gave me a sense of hope for things to come at our school. There is a great opportunity to hold some fantastic events here at the colleges, and if the attendance and energy of our Skidmore counterparts can be replicated, campus life here at HWS will start to get a little more interesting.

even though the sport of cross country is team-oriented, the races can feel awfully lonely. After all, it is just you and the long race course ahead of you. Since running onto the HWS campus last fall, sophomore ben Flanagan can already be considered as one of the top Hobart college cross country runners ever. Already this season through five races, he has recorded five top-15 finishes, including a win and a runner-up finish. Most recently in the Liberty League c h a m p i o n s h i p s , Flanagan finished 14th, securing him a 2nd Team All-Liberty League spot. Flanagan knows, however, that the competition will only get more difficult. “I know I’m going to have to step up my running to add a competitive edge,” the sophomore affirmed.

Despite putting forth a tremendous effort in his first season as a Statesman, Flanagan failed to make it all the way to the NcAA

championships last fall. For this year, it only makes sense that accomplishing such a feat remains his

personal goal. If the team cannot make it all the way there, the sophomore will gladly accept the individual invitation to run in the championships.

F l a n a g a n devotes a lot of time and energy to the cross country team, making one believe his free time is limited. Yet, in addition to his commitment to running, Flanagan saves time for his three passions: the Patriots, Red Sox, and celtics. This time of year is especially exciting for Flanagan, as the Red Sox are going to the playoffs, and the Patriots and celtics’ seasons are both just commencing. With his boston sports teams striving for success in the next

few months, Flanagan will also be running for triumph on the long, lonely race courses.
