As part of a nearly yearlong effort to court student votes, senate hopeful Eliza-beth Warren spoke to members of the Mas-sachusetts college media Saturday via con-ference call.

platform.“There’s a lot at stake in this election

for college students, for young people all across the Commonwealth,” Warren said to representatives from The Gatepost, The MCLA Beacon, the Harvard Crimson and Northeastern’s Huntington News.

Warren said her campaign works with over 300 interns on college campuses tasked with recruiting volunteers - over 1,500 of them so far - and helping students register to vote. The candidate stopped by the FSU campus last October, attracting few students, but many local Democrats for a campaign rally in DPAC.

Last Saturday, Warren held a rally at Northeastern featuring an appearance from actor Zach Braff, of “Scrubs” and “Garden State” - an icon for the twenty-something voters both candidates are after. Braff also appeared at Clark University and UMASS Amherst that same day.

“I’m so proud of our efforts to reach out to college students, to engage young peo-ple in this campaign,” Warren said. “I’m in this race because I believe we need to in-vest in our future and create opportunities for the next generation. Having college students and young people all across the

This semester, local bar O’Connell’s Pub has been offering a free ride Thursday nights for students to and from their location DERXWDPLOHIURPFDPSXVRQ5RXWH

The shuttle service, which began opera-tion on Sept. 13, runs from 9 p.m.-1 a.m., picking up and dropping off students in front of the McCarthy Center, according to Co-owner Jen Madden.

Thursdays are typically one of the most popular times for undergrads to get together and socialize.

“It’s like the big night for O’Connell’s,” senior Danielle Landry said.

Madden claims the shuttle isn’t being provided simply to transport inebriated stu-dents, and points to two other reasons for offering it.

“Safety for everybody walking down here, number one,” Madden said. “Number two was the weather. Once it starts getting really cold and rainy, everyone is going to FRPHKHUHDQ\ZD\VVRZHÀJXUHGZK\QRWhelp everybody out up there?”

Students who use the shuttle “shouldn’t [be in violation of the policy] because, re-gardless whether the students come here or another bar, or where they’re going to go, if they’re 21, they’re going to go out. … We’re just providing the shuttle for safety.”

Alexis Huston/The Gatepost

Please provide a brief summary of your resume and educational background.

I’ve had a little bit of a varied background, but I’ll go through it. So I grew up in the New York City suburbs. For undergrad, I went to Harvard College. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do when I graduated. I was starting to think about graduate school, but I was not entirely sure. So I went and worked for two years for a state legislator repre-sentative in the New York state assembly, and then decided I wanted to come back to go to grad school and be a historian, and so went to Johns Hop-kins for gradu-ate school. I taught at Johns Hopkins for a year. I had a few research fellowships do-ing work at ar-chives this past year, and now I’m here.

Why did you decide to ma-jor in history?

When I was in college, I was trying to de-cide between history and political science. I was interested in both and interested in the processes of politics and history, and so I took a couple of classes in each. His-tory is a long-time love since I was a little kid, and that won out. It’s the area of my greatest interest. It’s the thing I can’t live without.

What courses do you teach here?

7KLVIDOO,DPWHDFKLQJWKHÀUVWKDOIRIWKHU.S. survey, so United States history up WR 5HFRQVWUXFWLRQ ,Q WKH VSULQJ ,·OO EHteaching that again and I’ll be teaching a course on Native American history from contact to the age of revolutions, so a sur-vey of Native Americans between about 1500 to 1800 in both North and South America.

What’s the best part of your job at FSU?

Getting to talk about history and getting to interact with students and explain the past and get students to think about the past in different ways - hopefully, in more critical ways and to appreciate it.

Are you currently working on any proj-ects?

I am. I’m writing a book on the business and politics of publishing, especially

QHZVSDSHUVGXULQJWKH$PHULFDQ5HYROX-tion.

What was your best experience in col-lege?

The two best experiences I had: one was writing a senior thesis and getting to do my own research project and really dig into sources and to reading up on an issue. I wrote it about an issue in the American 5HYROXWLRQDVZHOOIRUWKDWSURMHFW7RUH-

ally just get into the period and try and practice what it was like to be a real historian, be-cause I was start-ing to think about going to graduate school and be-coming a histori-an. And the other actually was sing-ing in a chorus as an extracur-ricular activity. I ZDV ÀUVW WHQRU LQa chorus that trav-eled around the country, and so I got to go some new and exciting places and sing some fantastic music. It’s a dif-ferent kind of comradery when you’re singing together with 50

other people and producing a sound like that. Do you have any hobbies?

I still enjoy singing, and when I moved up to Massachusetts, I joined a chorus in the area. I also follow baseball pretty closely. When I moved to Baltimore, I started fol-lowing the Orioles, though there wasn’t much to see for many years. So it’s been nice to see them rebound this season.

Do you have a role model?

I don’t really have any single person I de-scribe as my individual role model, but I have a group of about six or eight or 10 or so friends and colleagues and mentors whom I look to in various ways as models for teaching and scholarship and as writ-ers and they are the people I go to for ad-vice when I need it.

Do you have any advice for students?

Take advantage of the opportunity. Espe-cially engage with the faculty when you have the chance. I know it’s true for me, and I think it’s true for everybody - we’re here because we want to work with stu-dents and so take advantage of the oppor-tunities offered to talk to people, to ex-SORUHÀHOGVDQGSURIHVVLRQVDQGLQWHUHVWVthat have no job prospects after college, and interests that might have job prospects after college.

“We’ve had no incidents yet where we’ve been told a person came off the bus intoxicated, but we have had incidents where students came back intoxicated and stated the last place they were was O’Connell’s,” Medeiros said.

“The only way they’re [O’Connell’s] breaking the rules is if they’re knowingly sending people back here intoxicated,” Medeiros said.

In general, though, he said, “It’s al-ways a good idea to give someone a ride if they’re intoxicated. … It’s a common sense thing.”

But some students aren’t sure about whether to use the service due to worries about the potential for backlash from the school.

“I feel like it’s giving mixed messages,” said Junior Maura Kaldas. “We are a dry campus, so why offer that service? I feel like it’s a trap.”

Speaking outside of O’Connell’s on Sept. 27, senior Bryce Lipscomb said, “Half of the college students are going to bring their own cars [to the bar]. They’re going to be driving drunk tonight.”

Junior Kelly Ann Kerrigan, also speak-ing at O’Connell’s on Sept. 27, said she supports a shuttle system to cut down on drunk driving. Without such a service, she said, “How are people who are of age go-ing to get to the bar? Their cars. Then how are they going to get back after drinking

too much? Their cars.”Senior Nick McWilliams, also inter-

viewed outside O’Connell’s on Sept. 27, said, “[The shuttle] is giving people a safe way home. It’s not going to hurt anyone.”

Campus police say they will follow the dry campus policy if any students come back to campus intoxicated, regardless where they came from.

“It doesn’t matter if they’re coming back from O’Connell’s. If we get a call, were not going to bust them. We’re go-ing to check them out and make sure there O.K., if they’re stable, and can care for themselves. … When Campus Police re-ceives a call about an intoxicated student, >RIÀFHUV@ GR WKH EDVLFV DQG PDNH VXUHthey’re aware of their surroundings - ‘do they know their name or where they are,’” Medeiros said.

Campus police will then administer EDVLF ÀHOG VREULHW\ WHVWVZKLFK ´WHVW WKHlevel of impairment by giving the ‘heel to toe’ test, ‘alphabet’ test, ‘one-legged stand’ test, and a portable breath test (PBT) that gives a digital reading of what the level of intoxication is,” said Medeiros, adding that FSUPD purchased two of the PBT de-vices this year.

Sanctions become more serious for sec-ond offenses, and a third offense results in a 16-week suspension from campus. The punishments are different for students who do not live on campus.

SGA allocated money to FSU Fashion Club to fund a November guest speaker, to the Dance Team for its fall performanc-es and to The Onyx for its spring 2013 edition.

The FSU Fashion Club came before senate with a club request of $854 to fund guest speaker Sondra Celli, a designer from the TLC show “Bling It On” and a Waltham native. The motion to allocate the full amount passed unanimously.

SGA Vice President Larry Liuzzo said Celli will showcase three dresses she has created in addition to screening DVD clips of her show.

“It’s to get students educated about the fashion industry,” he said. “She’ll pos-sibly talk about her rise to celebrity sta-tus and what steps she took to further her career - how she ended up where she is now.”

Liuzzo said the club members are hap-py with their second choice for a guest speaker after their request for $53,607.60 to bring TLC’s Clinton Kelly failed to pass at last week’s meeting.

“I think Sondra is going to bring a great message to not only the fashion stu-dents or people interested in fashion - but whoever goes, I think, will get a nice mes-sage,” he said.

The FSU Dance Team came forward with a club request for $1,344 for its “Just Dance” fall show and a separate request for $397 for its November “So You Think You Can Dance” event. Motions made to allocate the full amount for both requests passed unanimously.

The Onyx came forward with a re-quest for $6,281.57 for its spring 2013 edition. The motion made to allocate the full amount for the request passed unani-mously.

The Student Government Association and WKH2IÀFHRI6WXGHQW,QYROYHPHQWDQG/HDG-ership Development have registered 137 stu-dents as part of a voter registration drive this fall.

SILD and SGA have also aided 180 stu-dents complete and submit absentee ballots this fall.

“On Tuesday, 98 people alone registered to vote,” said SGA Vice President Larry Liuzzo, “which is an unbelievable number.”

Liuzzo commended SILD Outreach Coor-dination Intern Kendra Sampson and Student Trustee Molly Goguen for spearheading the effort to help students register to vote.

He said, “Even working the table a few times, I was excited with the numbers.

“I think it’s an important issue - to not only register - but to take part in our society. It’s an important thing, and not too many kids our age may see it that way.”

Liuzzo said he thinks voter apathy is an is-sue that needs to be addressed.

Goguen said, “I’ve been inspired by the amount of people who have registered to vote on this campus. There seems to be a genuine interest among students in this year’s election. Students realize that they can make a change.”
