FSUs annual Homecoming and Fam-ily Weekend brought students, friends and family, community members and clubs to-gether in large numbers on Saturday Sept. 29.

Assistant Director of Alumni Rela-tions Robert Walmsley said approximately 1,700 people were at Maple Field to watch sporting events and partake and other ac-tivities such as browsing club tables, hang-ing out with Sam the Ram and listening to music from WDJM.

He said despite the inclement weather this years attendance was as high as pre-vious years.

This is the third year in a row that the forecast has kept us walking on eggshells up until game time, said Walmsley.

But, The alumni association gave DZD\ PRUH WKDQ IRDP QJHUV DQGcollected information updates on a pleth-ora of alumni, said Walmsley.

After four alleged sexual assaults were announced last week, members of the ad-ministration held an informational meeting in DPAC to discuss campus safety with the FSU community last Friday afternoon.

On Sept. 28, the Framingham State Uni-versity Police Department sent out an alert stating, At 3:05 a.m., a female resident stu-dent reported she was the victim of a forcible sex offense that occurred in North Hall.

Vice President for Enrollment and Stu-dent Development Susanne Conley sent an e-mail to students, faculty and staff later Fri-day morning, strongly encouraging their at-tendance at that afternoons meeting where Campus Police Chief Brad Medeiros, Presi-dent Timothy Flanagan and Dean of Students Melinda Stoops would address questions and concerns community members had.

Green Team harvests organic garden/LHS[O`JOVPJLZMYVT-:

Please provide a brief summary of your re-sume and educational background.

That would take a little while, but lets see. In terms of my educational background, I got my bachelors degree from Cornell University - I majored in government. I got my Ph.D. from Brandeis University in sociology - that was in 2001.

Why did you decide to major in sociology?

Well, Im interested in issues of power and inequality and social justice, and I felt that sociology was a discipline through which I could understand those dynamics best. Its only part of what the disci-pline focuses on, but its a good win-dow into those is-sues - to understand whats wrong with our society and, potentially, kind of, make it better.

What courses do you teach here?

I teach Social Problems, Political Sociology. Some-times, I teach the Internship in Social Services course. I have taught Sociological Theory and did so for many years - I havent done it recently. And Ive taught Social Class.

Whats the best part of your job at Fram-ingham State?

There are a number of parts that I like - its hard to say which one is the best. I like the variety of teaching and doing research. Some colleges and universities have you do mostly one or the other, and I think here, there is a good balance. There are some schools that are publishing mills that make you turn out a huge volume of publications in order to keep your job, and I think, there, the quality of teaching suffers. There are other places where you almost do exclusively teaching, and you dont have time WRGR UHVHDUFKDQGNHHSXS LQ\RXUHOGDQGdevelop your mind and make a contribution to scholarship, and here, I feel theres a good bal-ance between the two. I think its good to lead a balanced life - you develop yourself more, you make a more diverse contribution, youre happier, and so thats what strikes me as be-ing the best thing about Framingham State in comparison to a lot of other places.

Are you currently working on any projects?

Ive just had an article accepted, with minor revision requested, pertaining to the research Ive been doing for a few years on progressive third party campaigns for state legislatures. 6SHFLFDOO\ZK\VRIHZSURJUHVVLYHWKLUGSDU-ty candidates who run for state houses across the United States win - why thats so rare. I fo-cused on 16 or 17 of those races in New Eng-land to determine why they so rarely win. What

I found was that those who won tended to be a lot more connected to their communities than those who lost. Theres the impression that the reason that third party candidates rarely win is because of these major institutional obsta-cles like lack of money and media attention, and not to say that those things arent impor-tant, but I found that, at the local level, that actually connection to ones community was most important - critical. That article is going to be published in June. Im also working on an anthology, which is a collection of articles on the future of progressive third parties. That article will probably be in it in some form

along with a couple more chapters from me, and from some other writers, think-ers, activists in this HOG6R,PJRLQJto send out a pro-posal in a month or two, and hopefully itll turn into a book someday.

What was your best experience in college?

Certainly, develop-ing socially was an important part of my college life, as it is for many college students now. But as the years have gone by, and even then, I think some of the small seminars I had where I really got a chance to get

into in-depth discussion with my peers and with the professors, those were really reward-ing and they stuck with me. The information and the analysis from those courses really did stick with me. So I like teaching courses like that for that reason, and I think students really do appreciate them for that reason.

Do you have any hobbies?

Yes, a few. Politics. Im actually advising a third party candidate right now who is run-ning for state legislature, and actually using my research to kind of help him. I think, you know, the most important thing about that is just helping to provide more alternatives for people in the state, not necessarily supporting a particular candidate and a particular agenda, but just expanding the range of alternatives. I like to play guitar and write songs when I have the chance - I havent done that in a while be-cause Im so busy. And I like to hike. So thats ZKDWFRPHVWRPLQGUVW

Do you have any advice for students?

I guess my advice would be to really try to engage as much as possible with your studies. Social life is an important part of the college experience, but you will never have as much time as you have now to really develop your-self intellectually and to learn about the world and how it relates to you, and if youre in soci-ology, to imagine how, possibly, you can make a difference in creating a better society and world. This is one of the few times in life when you have the opportunity to focus on those im-portant things, so take advantage of it.

Administrators maintain FSU community is safecampus that would be jumping out from behind a closed door or out of the bushes ready to attack you, said Medeiros.

If there is ever an immediate threat to the campus, Medeiros said the FSU Alert system would be utilized. He said it is only XVHGVSHFLFDOO\IRULPPDQHQWWKUHDWVRIdanger, but that he, along with other mem-bers of the administration, is currently con-sidering ways to alert the community other than from campus police bulletins and the FSUPD website and Facebook page.

He added that in each of the four al-OHJHGFDVHVWKHLGHQWLHGSULPDU\DJJUHV-sors and victims were friends.

:LWKWKHVHVSHFLFLQFLGHQFHVSHRSOHknew each other. Unfortunately, like with society today, their guard was let down and something happened that shouldnt have, said Medeiros.

He said the campus is equipped with many safety enhancements such as code blue emergency phones, 24/7 staffed secu-rity within the dorms and over 75 CC-TV cameras which are located in residence hall entrances and around campus.

One student at the forum said she was waiting for a shuttle bus to take her back to campus one evening and was alone. She called the Campus Police dispatch, who told her to continue to wait for the shuttle to arrive.

Mederios said if she or any student has a similar problem, to ask for the director of dispatch.

Medeiros added that FSUPD holds a self-defense program, Rape Aggression 'HIHQVH 5$' VSHFLFDOO\GHVLJQHG IRUwomen, at least once per semester.

A female student said she lives in Tow-ers and was informed of the alleged as-saults from Channel 5 news. She said she QGVWKHFDPSXVSROLFHVDIHW\EXOOHWLQVWR

be hard to reach, and suggested providing a warning via text that is separate from the FSU Alert system.

Stoops said, We are certainly open to suggestions and additional possibilities. I think our reluctance to use something sim-ilar to the FSU Alert when it isnt an imme-diate emergency [is] that you may get sort of the over-exposure fatigue. We dont want to run that risk.

According to the FSUPD Facebook page, Campus Police received reports on :HGQHVGD\6HSWRIWKHUVWDOOHJHGDV-saults. The police department did not post LQIRUPDWLRQ DERXW WKH UVW DVVDXOWV XQWLOMonday, Sept. 24. The most recent alleged attack was reported in the early morning hours of Sept. 28 and the police depart-ment posted information on their website later that day.

Stoops said she believes FSU is a safe campus that offers many resources which can provide support to someone who needs help or for someone concerned about a friend.

6KHHPSKDVL]HGWKDWKHURIFHDVZHOODV WKHRIFHVRI)683'5HVLGHQFH/LIHHealth Services and the Counseling Cen-ter are all here for each and every one of you, and we really want to hear from you and see you if you have concerns, or need assistance.

Stoops said her program, called Live Safe, serves as another safety resource for students.

The initiate which was established last spring, consists of faculty members, staff and students who meet on a monthly ba-sis to look at ways to promote safety on campus.

Whether it is safety while you are driv-ing - not driving while you are texting, not driving drowsy, wearing your seatbelt, to alcohol-and drug-related safety - to pro-tecting yourself from the risk of sexual as-sault. It covers a whole range of things, said Stoops.

Flanagan said, When that victimiza-tion is that of a student, and allegedly comes at the hands of another student, it is

particularly injurious to us as a communi-ty, and so I want you to know that the topic of this afternoons meeting is one that we take very, very seriously. ... We want them [students] to be safe, we want them to be happy and we want them to be successful.

He said there are many jobs in the Unit-ed States such as embalming, practicing law, medicine or a registered tax agent ZKLFKUHTXLUHSURIHVVLRQDOFHUWLFDWLRQRUlicensing which complies with a quaint two-hundred-year-old phrase called good moral character.

I would like to just make a special mention to the males in this audience.

He emphasized that the safety of every member of this campus community is very, very important to us and we all have a role to play in that - in terms of reporting of-fences or reporting situations that we see that require the attention of police.

Sophomore communication arts major Kevin Quin said, I dont think it has to do with the safety of the community. Im concerned with the mindset of people here. I didnt hear about it until a couple of days later, so that was the only concern I have.

Sophomore psychology major Aliana Ciampa said, I am not concerned when this kind of incident happened because it happened between people who knew each other. They [the school] posted about it, so they [the school] let us know.

Junior business major Herbert Kyles VDLG,WKLQNLWZDVQHWKHFDPSXVGLGtell us [students] about it, so they did their job.

Sophomore geography major TJ Lid-dell said, I think removing the two kids was necessary, and it made the campus community a lot more secure.

Sophomore psychology major Amber Samuels said, I just lock my door now at night when I sleep. But I do feel safe on campus because the appropriate actions were taken.

The Hilltop Players came forward with D IXQGLQJ UHTXHVW RI IRU WKHLUNov. 15-17 event, The Hilltop Games, a cabaret of 11 different musicals based on The Hunger Games trilogy of books by Suzanne Collins.

The amount requested would provide for a campus police detail for the three performances, the set, a rehearsal pianist, sheet music, costumes, props and posters for the event.

SGA Secretary Carly Granville moved to allocate the requested amount from SGAs unallocated to the Hilltop Players and the motion passed unanimously.

SUAB came forward with a travel and FRQIHUHQFHUHTXHVWRIWRIXQGVHQG-ing six students and one advisor to the Na-tional Association for Campus Activities (NACA) conference in Hartford, Conn. from Nov. 8-11. According to naca.com, the association advances campus activi-ties in higher education through a business and learning partnership, creating educa-tional and business opportunities for its school and professional members.

SUAB President Nikki Curley ex-plained that club members will attend edu-cation sessions concerning campus-wide programming at the conference.

A lot of them [sessions] are based on how to set up programming for the entire campus - how to program to commuters, residents, nighttime programming, week-end programming, she said. Theres one for suitcase schools, which involves try-ing to get them [residents] to stay.

Because the Gaming Club didnt submit its funding request by the 12 p.m. deadline last Thursday and wasnt originally sched-uled to come before the senate until next week, Vice President Larry Liuzzo moved to table the request until the next senate meeting.

SGA President Hannah Bruce explained that the club had accidentally been sched-uled to come before the senate this week, and said she thought that since they were present at the meeting, their request should not be tabled.

This semester, Framingham State Uni-versity is housing a record 1,950 students - 23 of whom are being housed in residence hall lounges.

FSUs residence halls are designed to house 1,931 students.

According to Cochran, in 2010, 16 students were assigned to temporary hous-ing in lounges and 40 in the Sheraton. In 2011, 10 students were temporarily housed in lounges and 38 students were assigned to the Sheraton.

There are still 45 students on a wait list for housing, said Cochran. He anticipates spaces to become available for students on the wait list as well as the 23 students tem-

Even though FSUs residency rate is above capacity, the number of students in each room has not changed, said Cochran.

According to Cochran, a large number of students requested triple rooms. Over the years, he said, collective wisdom has said that three is a bad number, which comes as a surprise to him.

Sophomore students Glenda Serrano and Elizabeth Chauppetta live in Towers. Not having lounges, they rely on spaces being available in recreational and com-mon areas to study.

Its real loud being next to the elevator and having people running around, said Serrano, discussing the downside of hav-ing to study in one of the common areas in Towers.
