STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS REACT TO NEW SLOAN BUILDING

LIU’s Sloan Building continues to be under construction one month into the fall semester. The ongoing

renovations have left some student organizations in a state of upheaval while others wonder when the club area will be completed.

“The process is taking a long time,” said Sound Yearbook editor-in-chief Fetima Castillo. “We have assignments to be completed all year round, and our work is starting to feel rushed since we don’t have a proper club room.”

Sound met with the Student Government Association (SGA) in April to discuss renovations on the Sloan Building. SGA proposed a “green initiative,” which would bring more natural light into Sloan. In order to facilitate the proposed plan, Sound was asked to relinquish its windows and unique layout – which accommodated the Sound photo studio – and move to a new room.

“We disagreed with SGA’s proposal,” Castillo said, “but before we knew it, we were told to pack up our room at the end of last semester. It seemed like everything would be fine, then construction started abruptly. We didn’t know the decision had already been made.”

Renovations began toward the end

of May, with the majority of labor completed over the summer. When student organizations returned to campus, there were mixed reactions about the new Sloan building. While some clubs were dealing with the issue of not having a room, others found themselves sharing a room with another club.

“When we came back to campus we suddenly had to share our room with another club,” said Anime Connection Club (ACC) president Siu Tang Smith. “We don’t mind sharing a room, but each club has over 50 members. It’s difficult to fit 10 or 20 people in this room; you can imagine how crowded it could get.”

According to the Student Life Office, multiple clubs are currently sharing rooms: the Anime Connection Club shares S-229 with the Asian Students Association; the Newman Club shares S-235 with the Christian Fellowship Club; and the Caribbean Students Movement shares M-212 with the Haitian Student Association. “With a campus as diverse as LIU Brooklyn, several new clubs are being created all the time,” Castillo said, “and by trying to accommodate everyone, many organizations are feeling alienated.”

LIU Buildings and Grounds has been overseeing the renovation project,

but did not respond to a Seawanhaka request for comment. Additionally, SGA was not available to comment on the Sloan Building renovation; the completion date of the project remains unclear.

“It seems like people are working on the rooms constantly,” said Michael Sunday, ACC vice president. “The door lock keeps breaking, we’re in a Wi-Fi dead zone, and the bright white walls are reminiscent of a mental institution. This feels more like a storage space than a club meeting room.”

NEW LIU CENTER CONSTRUCTION SPARKS CONCERNS

UNVEILING LIU-TV

In an attempt to keep up with the advancements of technology and still be a competitor in higher education,

Long Island University is jumping on the bandwagon and joining several other institutions across New York City that are investing in substantial upgrades on their campuses.

The latest planned project, the LIU Teaching & Learning Centers. The new facilities are planned for both LIU Brooklyn and C.W. Post campuses. The centers will be located on the fourth floor Library at LIU Brooklyn and Lower Level B. Davis Schwartz Library at LIU C.W. Post.

The project is expected to cost LIU $2.5 million for each campus. It will be depreciated over a 10-year period, with the cost running about $250,000. News

of the Teaching & Learning Center will surely come as a surprise to many. It appears that a number of Brooklyn Campus library officials were left out of the planning stages of the project, according to several sources interviewed by Seawanhaka. But for the few library officials and campus faculty members aware of the project, there are multiple concerns. “It struck me odd that they would even consider doing construction while school is in session here,” said Brooklyn Library Chairperson Chuck Guarria. Some unanswered questions include: When construction begins on the 4th floor in the library, where will students who currently use that space, on a daily basis, be placed? Will there be additional space during the time of construction for students to utilize?

LIU has signed a contract with CetraRuddy, an international award-winning architectural firm, to design high-tech labs where faculty will test new technologies.

“The University interviewed over a dozen design firms and selected CetraRuddy because of their prior

experience with creative educational projects coupled with their design sensitivity and commitment to the program’s mission,” said Jeffrey Kane, vice president for academic affairs at Long Island University, in a statement. “Their design of the learning centers integrates the high-tech functionality we envisioned with a respect for the aesthetic sensibilities and social dynamics of groups of individuals working together creatively.”

The area capacity for each center is approximately 6,000 square feet. The new facilities will enable faculty members to receive technology-focused training and perform digital course instruction. The spaces will include high-capacity multimedia stations along with a sound studio for creating and editing audio.

“We hope to maximize and optimize faculty resources to help students,” Kane said in an interview with Seawanhaka. “A state-of-the-art, technology-rich environment for faculty development and technology will affect all classrooms.”

The Brooklyn Campus library was opened around 1976. But according

to several library staffers, the facility – as a whole – has not been renovated since its debut. There have been several small projects done over the years, but nothing major. Currently, there are leaks on the 5th floor of the library, which houses the campus’ extensive collection of book volumes, DVDs and other materials.

Several books have been damaged due to heavy rain fall. As a result, that area of the library has been sectioned off. There are several small study sections on the floor reserved for student usage. According to multiple library sources, a gaping hole in the ceiling of the media center – which is also housed in the library’s 5th floor – was caused by weather-related damage over the years and awaits repair.

The construction was scheduled to start this fall, but has tentatively been rescheduled to begin either this summer or fall 2013. Whenever the Brooklyn Campus center is constructed, university officials are optimistic that the project will expand educational opportunities for the campus community as a whole. “How can we enhance learning wherever it’s taking place?” asks Kane. “This will help us to support students.”

In place of conventional LIU TV broadcasts, students can anticipate round-the-clock coverage of campus

news, special events and more this semester. LIU-TV unveiled plans for its new broadcasting program, which will give students the opportunity to report campus news using their own cameras. This new program is structured around informing the LIU community about what is happening on the Brooklyn Campus.

After two years of system failures, LIU’s television broadcasting became available due to a recent digital upgrade last semester. “The main goal is to broadcast all information happening on campus,” said Nelson Flores, general manager of LIU TV. Flores heads the student organization of ambitious media students who learn broadcasting through hands on experiences.

“Working with LIU TV is a great way for film majors to gain experience while in school with the perk of obtaining their own camera supplied by the school,” Flores said.

After extensive planning, LIU-TV has taken their mission further into the future with plans of installing and televisions around campus that broadcast LIU news on two different channels. Additionally, LIU TV has a YouTube channel to keep internet users aware of what’s happening on campus.

LIU TV plans to hold special events such as scavenger hunts, water fights and more during the Spring 2013 semester.

LIU GRADUATE BECOMES CAMPUS CHAPLIN

CAMPUS CAMERA: ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THE BARCLAYS CENTER?

Alyssa Ayala, Psychology Junior

“It’s a bit upsetting, because as students with jobs we don’t make enough to spend [money] for MTA fare. We have enough problems paying for school and books.”

Christopher Wallace, Biology Senior

“I drive to school, but I feel that for the majority of students a hike isn’t fair. Considering todays economy it’s is not right.”

This semester LIU Brooklyn welcomed Rabbi Josh Tabi as its newest campus chaplain.

A graduate of LIU, Tabi decided to become a rabbi after working closely with the school and extensive volunteering with Our Place and Friday Night Chill, programs for at risk youth. Most of Tabi’s knowledge of Judaism was acquired while studying in Jerusalem, Israel where he specialized in Jewish Outreach.

While studying at LIU, Tabi was the president of the campus’ Jewish Club. There are currently two Jewish clubs active on the Brooklyn Campus – Hillel Jewish Students Organization and Chabad of LIU; both clubs meet in room S-231.

Tabi announced that LIU will be establishing a third club on campus called the Jewish Pharmacy Society, and it will debut during the semester. In the meantime, Hillel and Chabad have several events scheduled in October such as luncheons, movies and group discussions.

Tabi, known as Rabbi Josh on campus, earned both of his college degrees at

LIU’s Brooklyn; he holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in education and mental health.

Certainly no stranger to the Brooklyn Campus community, Rabbi Josh encourages the entire student body to speak with him if they are having any problems. “Any issue whether it’s relationship related or stress from school, I look forward to helping students as best I can,” Tabi said. “As a campus chaplain, I’ll make myself available to help any student.”

Rabbi Josh has many interesting plans for the semester. He is proposing the creation of a Jewish History and Sociology course to be offered on campus. Additionally, Rabbi Josh plans to organize field trips to the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. and to Israel.

Being a person who knows the importance of education, Rabbi Josh wanted to give a special thank you to Dean Kim Williams Clark and LIU’s administration for being so willing to accommodate students that have missed classes due to the Jewish holidays.

MEAL PLAN ANSWERS BY: BRIA MCNEIL-ROZIER

Luntey Commons in the Metcalfe Building

TAKE A “HIKE”Already facing tuition hikes and

hectic work schedules, Long Island University students will

have to brace themselves for yet another concern – increase fare hikes courtesy of the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA).

According to published reports, the MTA plans to eliminate the 7 percent Metrocard bonus. In addition, the usual one-way ride on the subway will be going up by a quarter to $2.50. And if that wasn’t enough, weekly Metrocards will be raised by a dollar to $30. But some students will especially be impacted by those increased whenever they try to purchase a monthly Metrocard, which will increase by $5 for a total of $109.

Meanwhile, students who drive to school aren’t being excluded. They too can expect to see fare hikes on the tolls

and bridges. For many LIU students, there’s an air of despair given that they’ll probably have no choice but to pay. Among them – Crystal Wilson, a nursing student, who questions the MTA increases. “The subways are hot, dirty, overcrowded and there are rampant layoffs,” she said. “It’s annoying.”

at the beginning of each semester. Students can assess these funds by using their LIU ID cards. Declining dollar amounts also depend on the type of plan students set up for themselves. Certain amounts come with certain rooms and plans. Commuting students only get 40 of these declining dollars to start them off. After the declining dollars are used, it is the individual student’s choice to add more. Depending on your particular arrangements with the university, each semester students will receive new declining dollars.

Many students are not aware of the option of adding money to their ID cards. Considering the cost of college expenses, it is important that students utilize every tool at their disposal. The use of these declining dollars is a greatly advantageous to students.

Additional funds can be added to ID cards by visiting Integrated Financial Student Services on the third floor between the Pratt and Metcalfe buildings. LIU IDs are more than just a type of identification; it’s the equivalent of a campus debit card.

Meal plans at LIU’s Brooklyn Campus have left many students in a state of

confusion. Freshman and new transfers are not the only students looking for answers.

According to the office of Residence Life and Housing, meal plans depend on what type of on campus housing students have arranged for themselves.

For example, all freshmen are required to have a meal plan because there are no kitchens in the dorm rooms. Hoyt, Fulton and Conolly Hall Residents have the option of having a meal plan or turning it down; if you have a kitchen in your room, you aren’t required to have a meal plan.

With the meal plan, students are given “declining dollars” which can be used

BE DRESSED TO IMPRESS BY: NAVARRE CALDWELL

lot about your level of professionalism to look well dressed for class. Your professor expects you to be presentable, and I’m not saying wear a nice shirt, tie and dress shoes everyday, but casual wear or a bit of business casual here and there wouldn’t hurt.

Professors definitely don’t want to see sweat-pants, pajamas, slippers, flip-flops or sneakers. I feel that is quite disrespectful to your professor. Considering they take time to be well dressed to teach us, there should be no reason why students can’t show a bit of appreciation and also dress appropriately. Being dressed for class shows professionalism, and it gives the professor a good impression of who is taking school seriously and who is not.

This isn’t always the case, but generally it’s a good idea to look your best and carry yourself appropriately. It shows a lot about who you are. So next time you decide to wear any old thing to class, think twice before making that decision! 

On move-in day this year, an interesting thought came to my mind. I was inside Target

with my father getting necessities for my dorm room. I said to him, “Dad, I need to get some more clothes for class.” To which he replied, “Navarre, this is college. Everyone looks like a bum for class.” That statement instantly struck me. I thought about it, and then realized that shouldn’t be the truth.

I love to be dressed up for anything. Whether I’m going to the corner store or going to eat a meal in the dining hall, being dressed is important to me. First impressions are everything, so you wouldn’t want to ruin that.

This is important to know for school in regards to your professors. It says a

Emily Dow, freshman on campus on her way to class.

INFORMATION ON PANCREATITIS

Acute pancreatitis is sudden inflammation of the pancreas that ranges from mild to life

threatening, but usually subsides. Almost everyone with acute pancreatitis suffers severe abdominal pain in the upper midabdomen and below the breastbone, often penetrating to the back.

Gallstones cause acute pancreatitis, and then pain starts suddenly and reaches maximum intensity in minutes. The pain then remains steady and severe, which penetrates and persists for days. Coughing, vigorous movement and deep breathing may worsen the pain; sitting upright and leaning forward may provide some relief. In severe acute pancreatitis, a CT scan

helps determine the condition; if the scan indicates that the pancreas is mildly swollen, the prognosis is excellent. If the scan shows large areas of destroyed pancreases, the prognosis is poor. The death rate for acute pancreatitis is about five percent. However, in severe cases with significant damage and bleeding, or when the inflammation is not confined to the pancreas, the death rate can be as high as 10 to 50 percent.

Treatment of mild pancreatitis, particularly when flare-ups are recurrent, usually involves taking analgesics for pain relief. Normal eating can resume after two to three days without further treatment. Moderate to severe pancreatitis usually requires hospitalization; anyone with pancreatitis

must initially avoid ingestion because eating and drinking stimulate the pancreas to produce more enzymes.

Chronic pancreatitis is long standing inflammation of the pancreas that results in irreversible deterioration of pancreatic structure and function. Symptoms of chronic pancreatitis may be identical to those of acute pancreatitis fall into certain patterns. For example, a person has persistent midabdominal pain that varies in intensity.

A complication of chronic pancreatitis, such as an inflammatory mass, a cyst, or even pancreatic cancer, is more likely. Chronic pancreatitis is suspected because of a person’s symptoms or history of acute pancreatitis flare ups.

Blood tests are less useful in diagnosing chronic pancreatitis than in acute pancreatitis, but they may indicate elevated levels of amylase and lipase. Also, blood tests can be used to check the level of sugar in the blood, which may be elevated.

Tests such as X-rays, ultrasound scans, and CT scans are not routinely done people with chronic pancreatitis. However, abdominal x-rays and ultrasound scans can be used to show stones in the pancreas. A CT scan may show these abnormalities as well as the size, shape, and texture of pancreas. Also, the CT scan does not require the use of an endoscope.

People with chronic pancreatitis are at increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Worsening of symptoms, especially narrowing of the pancreatic duct makes doctors suspect cancer. In such cases doctor is likely to order an ultrasound scan, CT scan, or endoscopic study.

Treatment of repeated flare-ups of chronic pancreatitis is similar to that of acute pancreatitis. During a flare-up, avoiding alcohol is essential. Avoiding all food and alcohol and receiving only intravenous fluids can rest the pancreas and intestine and may help alleviate pain. Later, eating four or five meals a day consisting of food low in fat and protein and high in carbohydrate may help reduce the frequency and intensity of the flare-ups.

The festival will celebrate films produced by women of color. “Personally, it has been a wonderful journey being a part of the Reel Sisters community and at times working with such bold women determined to finance, produce and tell their own stories,” said Rodney K. Hurley, managing director of the Kumble Theater.

The BET 2012 Hip Hop Awards this year will definitely go down in the history books.

Last weekend Young Jeezy and Rick Ross were involved in an altercation which occurred backstage. There was another fight between Gunplay and 50 Cent’s entourage that occurred in the parking lot. According to E! News there were

also gun shots between the rival crews. BET has issued a statement about the altercations and the network is claiming that no shots were fired, despite the fact that numerous publications are insisting there was a shoot-out in the parking lot.

Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to trouble.Brand new drama arises for the troubled star. The actress is making accusations that she was allegedly choked and punched by former Congressional aide Christian Labella. Lohan met her alleged attacker at New York City’s 1-Oak nightclub and brought Labella to her hotel room at the W Hotel for a one night stand.

The two were involved in an argument over photos Labella had taken of Lohan. And once the actress tried to take the phone away, she was allegedly assaulted by her attacker. Lindsay says that she was able to escape the incident by pulling a fire alarm in the hallway.

Jaden Smith, son of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith, is beginning his career as a rapper. Jaden’s mix-tape “The Cool Café,” is out now, be sure to check it out.

According to the website, Allhiphop.com

Souljah Boy and his girlfriend Diamond may be the new cast members to join VH1 “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” for the second season.

MEN’S FALL FASHION BY: YANA NADELYAEVA Q&A WITH MEITAL DOHAN

The fall season has arrived to New York City along with the most recent Mercedes-Benz

Fashion Week. New York Fashion Week (NYFW) displayed a number of trends this season. Designers such as Badgley Mischka, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Donna Karan New York, Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren were favorites among fashion editors and the like. In regards to that, let’s discuss men’s fashion.

Since Coco Chanel’s era, every true fashionista knows that a little black dress (LBD) is essential in one’s closet. An LBD is versatile it can be worn in the office or for a night out. Not only did NYFW feature fall trends for the ladies, one can’t forget about the men either. For men the obvious answer is a perfectly fitted suit, something of “Hugo Boss style.” As the cliché goes “A women likes a man in uniform,” and it continues to be the case now. However, men on the other hand (with the exception of financiers on Wall Street) aren’t fond of wearing suits on a daily basis because it’s somewhat uncomfortable. Here are a few popular clothing stores that are affordable and fashionable for every man.

Taking into account that we are students, such luxury stores such as Prada or Gucci wouldn’t be very helpful in our case. Some good choices that are more affordable and chic are Banana Republic and Zara.

Well, this season’s trends present the reiteration of the same idea, with slight variations: not too official and not too lax- neat and comfortable casual style. What does this mean? For those guys, who think this means sweatpants and sports attire, you’re completely wrong! Casual, comfortable style simply means jeans and a T-shirt with some additions.

For example, it could be a pair of jeans, slim fit, skinny, dark or regular jeans with a polo neck sweater and jacket in denim or leather. This is simple, but proper and cozy. Another outfit option is trousers and a collared shirt styled with a pullover. This look is comfortable and classic, it can be worn to school or on the weekends. Those outfits could be worn with both leather shoes and “Converse” boots.

As it gets colder, one can add an elegant trench coat or a sporty-like parka to any casual outfit. One helpful fashion tip is to buy at least one versatile scarf. A scarf will give you warmth during this fall and winter season. Scarves come in a variety of colors and fabrics so it can easily underline one’s individual style and personal charisma.

These are just suggestions to keep in mind for the fall season. Remember, always try to take an article of clothing and make it your own style. And don’t forget that numerous shop mannequins are quite helpful in finding something special and being stylish.

For Banana Republic and Zara stores, prices range from time to time. A pair of jeans or trousers will cost you approximately $80-$100, pullovers and shirts will be about $40-$60, and T-shirts are $30. The Gap and H&M are much more affordable and feature similar styles seen in Banana Republic and Zara. One should starting looking into these stores fast because fall sales have already started. There is one more store worth mentioning - UniQlo. It’s a modish Japanese brand, known for its good quality, natural fabrics, interesting trendy models and very affordable prices.

When it comes to fashion, most guys are rarely obsessed with designers and shopping as girls are. It is very important to look well-dressed, comfortable and still feel like yourself either in the classroom or work place. And the reason for that is, for the most part, people get the first impression of you through your appearance and get a clear idea of what kind of person you really are. So brand yourself with a help of fashionable outfit.

I’m in Hate with Love is the new album from rising Israeli pop star Meital Dohan. Her music features

a mix of globally influenced dance—friendly tunes. This summer she has been promoting her latest single “On Ya” featuring Sean Kingston and “Yummy” in the U.S.

Seawanhaka Managing Editor Keeley Ibrahim had an interview with Dohan on her debut single and her music career.

Seawanhaka Press: Your second single “On Ya,” features Sean Kingston – how did this collaboration come about?

Meital Dohan: This collaboration occurred through the magic of entertainment professional Cudda Love. Thanks to Cudda Love I was introduced to Sean Kingston through him.

SP: The debut album was reportedly supposed to be released this past summer. Why is there a delay for the album?

MD: The album was not supposed to be released in the summer because I am only on my second single. I do not know where the information of me releasing

new album came from. Right now I’m just concentrating on my new single “On Ya.”

SP: How would you describe your music?

MD: I would describe it as electro, dance and dub-step.

SP: I noticed that many of your career choices have to do with independent women, why is that?

MD: I like to talk about strong confident women in my music because so many things are changing nowadays. From divorce, relationships, and economy problems.

SP: So in addition to singing, you also write and act and I read that you’re also a comedian too- have you ever done stand-up?

MD: No. But I have done some comedic acting. I was in the Isreali version of “Ugly Betty” and Showtime’s “Weeds.” In Israel acting came easy- it just happened naturally. My singing career started two years ago in the United States. I never thought about singing until I was told by close friends that I should sing.

Make sure to tune in October 5 to see the premiere of Meital’s debut U.S video “On Ya” on MTV and also look out for the world premiere video nationwide on October 10.

JAY-Z AT THE BARCLAYS CENTER

Jay-Z held his long awaited Barclays Center opening concert on Friday, September 28 and it was an excellent

show. History was made in front of a sold out crowd as Jay-Z performed songs from past and present. The two years of hard work that lead to getting the Barclays Center built culminated into an emotional night. It was unfortunate to see protesters outside

showing dismay towards the arena, but inside Barclays was pure bliss.

A night such as this even made Jay-Z on occasion come close to tears; mentioning his upbringing in the Marcy Projects to then performing in an arena he help build. When the concert was over everybody left smiling since they were a part of history, but the night didn’t start off so well.

On the concert ticket it clearly states the show begins at eight, two words, “they lied.” For the first hour and a half HOT 97 DJ Mister Cee had the place rocking paying respect to Biggie Smalls with his classic songs. At one point the entire crowd was rapping “Warning” it was certainly a sight to see. After the first forty-five minutes this became boring to the masses and people wondered where Jay-Z was. In an attempt to make Jay-Z come on stage faster everybody began to scream “HOVA.” These chants went on for five minutes then the building went dark and the people began to scream. The lights came back on and still no Jay-Z. At 9:40 p.m., the lights went out with Jay-Z’s silhouette appearing. The Barclays Center continued to be quiet,

not being tricked twice until Jay-Z proves it’s actually him by clearing his throat forcing everybody to rise up screaming. Once he was finally on stage the wait become worth it.

With the concert starting so late the possibility of a short show, was thinkable. Luckily Jay-Z chooses to show his home love by performing for three hours, rapping all his classics. For those who had been listening to Jay-Z since his career began they were reminded of what made Jay-Z such a great rapper. On the other side of the spectrum the non or borderline fans may have been forced to convert.

Jay-Z wearing his customized Nets Jersey gave the show of his life going on to say that “I’ve been on bigger stages. I’ve been all around the world. Nothing feels like tonight.” Seeing Jay-Z rap in person is special. He has such stage presence and being able to keep the crowd involved. Jay-Z poured his heart out to Brooklyn but something the concert lacked was major guest performers. Big Daddy Kane performed mixing in the old school feel and it was great. However, watching Jay-Z rap

BY: JUSTIN ELLIS“Empire State of Mind,” “Clique,” and “Run This Town” without Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Big Sean or Rihanna was the only missing element of the show. If any of the artists mentioned would have appeared, the night would have been perfect.

As the night was coming to an end Jay-Z said his good byes and left the stage. He wasn’t gone too long before coming back for an encore. It was heart warming to hear Jay-Z say, “to be honest I don’t want to leave yet.” Staying on stage a while longer, ironically performing “Encore” made up for the few things that went wrong with the event. Jay-Z has always attempted to please the people. Friday was no different. The night was unforgettable.

The grand opening was historic and first of his eight night shows at the Barclays. No matter what happens the next seven nights, nothing could compare to his first night out. Everybody who was in the crowd will be able to tell their child or grandchild they were at the first show ever at the Barclays Center. Downtown Brooklyn has certainly gained an attraction.

BROOKLYN NATIVE PENS POETRY

Author E.M Souza has a passion for poetry. Raised in Jamaica, Souza found beauty in each

form of the written word. “My desire to write was always there from childhood,” says Souza.

Her new book, Reflections Through an Hourglass, is her recent collection of her poetry and literature. “I drew from the springs of life, emotions on film, works of art and music, and most of all the human experience and environment- real life.”

Souza has always been an avid reader of writers like Charles Dickens and Langston Hughes. Dickens and Hughes, to her, portrayed the complexity and realities of human life and human nature. “[They] always left [readers] with food for thought. [These writers] lent inspiration to my ideas on writing

about real life and real issues,” says Souza.

The Brooklyn native has been compared to some of the most iconic literary authors. However, Souza believes no author should deal with comparisons because she feels each writer brings something to the table. “Each one of us casts a different glow. Each one of us giving as good as the gift we’ve been given,” Souza says, “Nothing can compare to a writer.”

E.M. Souza says Reflections Through an Hourglass will take readers on a tour of their own hearts, minds, and souls. It is rhyme with reason, “Each poem and vignette conveys a message to enlighten, uplift, motivate and empower towards a new perspective on looking at life,” says Souza, “It is a portrayal of the realities and challenges we will all confront at

some point and time in our life.”Souza believes that her new book is insightful as it is honest. She says, “You will ask questions of yourself but you will find answers to putting yourself on the right path to overcome obstacles and succeed.”

“It feels great to share my inspirations with others. [My book] can be a guiding tool to help make a difference in the lives of others,” Souza says.

Reflections Through an Hourglass is available online and in bookstores.

BLACKBIRDS END ALUMNI WEEKEND WITH 3-0 ROUTE OF WAGNER BEHIND CALDERONBY: JOHN TOLIS

The Long Island Blackbirds captured their first NEC victory during the Alumni Weekend

against Wagner and tied against Quinnipiac 0-0.

LIU bulldozed Wagner in a 3-0 match and could start something for the Blackbirds. The soccer club hasn’t been playing its best so far, but maybe this win was something needed to ignite a spark.

The Blackbirds started out fast from the start and put the first goal in the 10th minute.

Junior, Shino Kunisawa placed the ball beautifully in the middle of the box that deflected off a Wagner defender and landed in front of LIU senior Toni Smith, who belted the ball in the back of the net.

Everything was going right for the Blackbirds throughout the whole match. They were playing flawless soccer on the pitch, especially senior, Evelyn Calderon.

Just five minutes after the goal, Calderon displayed her dribbling skills and went up the left side by herself. Calderon scored an amazing goal, as she put in the upper-left corner 25 yards out and gave her club a 2-0 cushion.

Wagner had absolutely no answers for LIU and was struggling. The Blackbirds made Wagner’s whole a bit deeper late in the first half as Erin Fish gave a pass to Mariana Ruas that tapped the ball pass the Wagner keeper to make it 3-0.

There was not much action in the second half by either squad, but the Blackbirds still looked better. They had a 15-7 shot advantage.

LIU goalkeepers, Jennifer Bannon and Jessica Sexton each played a half in the net that helped secure the 3-0 win.

The Blackbirds are now 3-7-2 and 1-1-2

in NEC play. In the first game of Alumni weekend, LIU tied up with Qunnipiac in a bore 0-0 match. Both teams had trouble finding the net in the full 90 minutes and even two overtime periods.

LIU won the battle in shots 8-7, but had nothing to show for it. Quinnipiac grabbed five saves throughout the whole

match and played shut down defense. Even though there were no goals in the match, there was definitely some excitement. Both teams were playing very physical and increased as the match went on.

There was a combined of 24 fouls in the game. A yellow card was given

to Kunisawa in the 93rd minute that could’ve cost LIU the match, but Quinnipiac’s foul shot sailed over the bar and kept the game level.

The Blackbirds will continue NEC play on Friday Oct. 5 against Bryant and will try to create a winning streak.

LANGLEY, SICA SCORE CAREER FIRSTS & MEN’S SOCCER SPLITS WEEKEND BY: MICHAEL GARCIA

The LIU Brooklyn Men’s Soccer team returned to LIU Field and picked up a 1-0 victory over

Mount St. Mary’s in a Sunday Northeast Conference rivalry. Taking advantage of a late substitution, freshman Jovane Langley netted the lone goal of the contest in the 74th minute, his first of his career in Brooklyn.

The match remained relatively quite until the 22nd minute as Langley’s classmate, Nahuel Medina took aim from about 20 yards out but missed wide left. The Blackbird’s ensuing opportunity would be the deciding factor as Langley scored from deep within the box. Senior, Robert Schroback delivered a precise overhead cross to freshman, Brian Alumbaugh who then delivered the feed to Langley for the goal.

“It’s always good to see some of the young guys getting involved with the scoring in conference because it gives them that extra confidence,” stated senior Jakeem Johnson, “I think that we have a couple of guys that are capable of leading the team in scoring including Tanner Sica, Rob Soto, Nahuel Medina and Jovane Langley to mention a few.”

Mount St. Mary’s key opportunities came late in the first half. The Mount failed to capitalize off of a modest 15 shots, placing just six on goal. The Blackbirds delivered 19 shots with just two on target. Johnson led the team with five shots followed by sophomore, Asher Herbet who contributed with three.

Goalkeeper, Nathan Stockie supplied yet another brilliant performance at net recording a shutout following the tie at Columbia on September 22nd barring a potential bid for NEC Player of the Week.

The Blackbirds were not as fortunate on Friday night as they were on the losing end of a 2-1 showdown at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, NJ. In the early minutes of the contest, the Blackbirds were called for a handball inside the penalty box awarding FDU with the penalty kick that resulted in

their first goal. Less than 10 minutes later, Knights senior Jack McVey would convert his second goal of the match from within 15 yards.

Freshman, Tanner Sica netted the first goal of his Blackbird career and the lone goal for the Blackbirds in the match. Sica shot in the waning moments of the first half would be followed by another such opportunity later in the match. Sica led

the team with three shots, two of which were on goal. Johnson took two shots for the Blackbirds. Fairleigh Dickinson’s barrage consisted of 16 shots, eight of which were on target compared to LIU Brooklyn’s seven shots.

Stockie was at net for the Blackbirds as he recorded five saves despite the two goals.

“The team is feeling confident going into this weekend, but we also know that it is going to be a battle just like every other NEC game,” stated Johnson.

LIU Brooklyn looks to defend LIU Field in front of past Blackbirds as NEC play continues on Alumni Day, Sunday October 7th against Quinnipiac.

VOLLEYBALL REMAINS UNBEATEN IN CONFERENCE PLAY BEHIND FOIT, DJURIC BY: SHANEL GILBERT

LIU- Brooklyn’s Volleyball team improved 10-7 overall to its perfect NEC record last Sunday as

the team shut out Saint Francis (NY) 3-0 in Brooklyn Heights.

Saint Francis (NY) put up three early kills that set the pace for the contest, but its lead was soon lost as the Terriers committed errors that tied the game up 3-3. Long Island took advantage of errors and used a 6-0 run to build a 5 kill lead that forces Saint Francis to call a timeout. However, its opponent was not phased as the team maintained it lead and added a 3-0 spurt before the Terriers called another time out. Still the Blackbirds steam did not die down as they added yet another 3-0 spurt sparked by a Saint Francis (NY) attack error.

Long Island led by as much as nine kills and closed out the first set on top, 25-16.

The second set opened in favor of the Blackbirds who went up early to take control of the contest. The Terriers trailed the entire way as they watched LIU use of a 6-0 run and hit kill-after-kill in a series of short spurts. Long Island took the set 25-19.

The third and final set followed the same pace as LIU went up early with two kills that allowed the Blackbirds to take full control. Using a 6-0 run, Long Island increased its lead to nine kills. The Blackbirds never looked back as the team bullied the Terriers to close the set 25-16.

Sophomore, Annika Foit and freshman, Tamara Ignjic led the Blackbirds with 12 kills each, while sophomore, Mia Radisic added nine and graduate student, Jessica Rice put down seven of her own. Classmate, Ashley Rice added four total blocks, while freshman, Adriana Vinas Joy added13 digs to the win. The Blackbirds saw six service aces that included one from sophomore, Vare Djuric, two from Vinas Joy and three from Foit.

Foit also led the Blackbird last Tuesday

against Stony Brook with 15 kills and 7 digs. LIU demanded control over the Seawolves who looked to bury its opponent in commemoration of it opening day.

Stony Brook attempted to set the pace of the first set and led Long Island 11-5 but the Blackbirds were quick to respond to the threat by going on a 9-3 run that gave LIU its first lead of the contest. Back-and-forth the teams traded kills that resulted in six ties. When the Seawolves point extended the contest, Long Island swept in and took the set 27-25.

soon after. The Seawolves struck back with a vengeance that left LIU trailing throughout the set and led by as much as eight. However, Long Island did not fall easy; the team made a last attempt to get back into the match and closed the point gap to just four kills but were unable to regain control as SBU went up for the kill that ended the second set 20-25.

With the game tied 1-1, both teams opened the third set with fury that kept the game tight. But after a SBU service error followed by an attack error the Blackbirds found itself in good shape and took advantage of the two kill lead. Unable to bounce back Stony Brook saw the set come to a close, 25-21.

Eager to tie the contest at 2-2 SBU hit the final set hungry for kills and took an early 2-0 lead. But Long Island was not far behind as the team even out the kills 6-6 before taking control of the contest with an 11-3 run. Long Island was able to stretch its lead by as much as eight kills before taking the last set 25-17.

Also included in the four game streak are victories against Sacred Heart 3-2 and Quinnipiac 3-0.

The Blackbirds return to the court October 6th where they plan to add another NEC win to its streak by defeating Saint Francis(PA). The Volley Ball Schedule can be found online at www.LIUAthletics.com/Volleyball.
