Three SUNY-Geneseo Students Charged in Drinking Death

posted apr 1 2009, 7:07pm by Suny Geneseo

Three SUNY-Geneseo students have been charged with criminally negligent homicide in the alcohol poisoning death of a sophomore who was pledging an off-campus fraternity, the Associated Press reports.

Arman Partamian, 19, was found lying face-down on a mattress March 1 in an off-campus house run by the Orange Knights, otherwise knows as Pigs. The group was banned from campus in 1996 after two students were hospitalized for overdrinking.

Partamian's toxicology results showed a 0.55 blood-alcohol level, almost seven times the legal limit for driving in New York and an amount typically considered lethal. He died in the midst of a three-day initiation.

The three students have pleaded not guilty to the charges, which also included hazing and unlawfully dealing with a minor. The most severe charge carries a sentence of up to four years in prison.

What happens when Obama-leaning journalists also happen to be Obama-leaning students? You get college newspaper endorsements that favor the junior senator from Illinois by 63 to 1 as of October 31, Editor & Publisher magazine writes. Of the editorial boards that endorsed a candidate (many more did not), the only newspaper to endorse McCain so far is the Daily Mississippian from the University of Mississippi.

Chinese Earthquake Victims to Attend SUNY

This fall, the State University of New York will enroll 150 Chinese students who were affected by the earthquake in Sichuan province in May, covering their tuition and living expenses, the Chronicle of Higher Education writes. The agreement, which includes 22 SUNY campuses and was negotiated with the Chinese government, stipulates that the students agree to return home after a year to rebuild the local economy.

SUNY plans to raise $5 million privately for tuition and living expenses, while the Chinese government will pay travel and visa costs.

At SUNY-Geneseo: Make Naked Peace Signs, Not War

posted mar 9 2009, 12:21am by Suny Geneseo

With temperatures barely hitting 50 degrees, 18 SUNY-Geneseo students formed a human peace sign on the campus lawn. Naked. Really naked (see the pic).

More than 100 onlookers came to look (gawk?) at what one unadorned participant called "an artistic expression of what's important," the Lamron reports. Said the event organizer: "For people to step out of their comfort zone...really proves that they're committed to peace."

Apparently indifferent to indecent exposure laws, the school's dean of students voiced his support for the demonstration: "As far as I can tell, it's protected political expression. We have a group of students who want to take a stand on something—I'm supportive of that."

The Ann Arbor Pow Wow—the largest of its kind in the Midwest— drew protesters who not only were celebrating American Indian culture but were also demanding the University of Michigan hand over ancestral remains and tribal objects they claim belong to Saginaw Chippewa Indian tribe of Michigan, the Michigan Daily reports. At the event, 1,428 seats were sectioned off to represent the number of artifacts the tribe is requesting returned. The university maintains that the remains are "culturally unidentifiable."

SUNY-Geneseo students dressed up as polar bears to rally against global warming last week, the Lamron writes. Organizers also handed out awards to "proponents of environmental degradation," which included the Bank of America and the Bush administration.

Penn State students protested the Guantánamo Bay prison with a rally and demonstration, which featured two students dressed in orange jumpsuits and black masks holding cardboard slats as a faux prison cell, the Daily Collegian reports. The 10-person rally was organized by the school's Amnesty International chapter.

Die-ins continue their popularity. Utah students held one on Friday as they sprawled on the ground to bring awareness to the Darfur genocide, the Daily Utah Chronicle writes.

At SUNY-Geneseo: Make Naked Peace Signs, Not War

posted feb 27 2009, 12:19am by Suny Geneseo

With temperatures barely hitting 50 degrees, 18 SUNY-Geneseo students formed a human peace sign on the campus lawn. Naked. Really naked (see the pic).

More than 100 onlookers came to look (gawk?) at what one unadorned participant called "an artistic expression of what's important," the Lamron reports. Said the event organizer: "For people to step out of their comfort zone...really proves that they're committed to peace."

Apparently indifferent to indecent exposure laws, the school's dean of students voiced his support for the demonstration: "As far as I can tell, it's protected political expression. We have a group of students who want to take a stand on something—I'm supportive of that."

The Ann Arbor Pow Wow—the largest of its kind in the Midwest— drew protesters who not only were celebrating American Indian culture but were also demanding the University of Michigan hand over ancestral remains and tribal objects they claim belong to Saginaw Chippewa Indian tribe of Michigan, the Michigan Daily reports. At the event, 1,428 seats were sectioned off to represent the number of artifacts the tribe is requesting returned. The university maintains that the remains are "culturally unidentifiable."

SUNY-Geneseo students dressed up as polar bears to rally against global warming last week, the Lamron writes. Organizers also handed out awards to "proponents of environmental degradation," which included the Bank of America and the Bush administration.

Penn State students protested the Guantánamo Bay prison with a rally and demonstration, which featured two students dressed in orange jumpsuits and black masks holding cardboard slats as a faux prison cell, the Daily Collegian reports. The 10-person rally was organized by the school's Amnesty International chapter.

What happens when Obama-leaning journalists also happen to be Obama-leaning students? You get college newspaper endorsements that favor the junior senator from Illinois by 63 to 1 as of October 31, Editor & Publisher magazine writes.

The agreement, which includes 22 SUNY campuses and was negotiated with the Chinese government, stipulates that the students agree to return home after a year to rebuild the local economy.

SUNY plans to raise $5 million privately for tuition and living expenses, while the Chinese government will pay travel and visa costs.

At SUNY-Geneseo: Make Naked Peace Signs, Not War

posted feb 16 2009, 12:29am by Suny Geneseo

With temperatures barely hitting 50 degrees, 18 SUNY-Geneseo students formed a human peace sign on the campus lawn. Naked. Really naked (see the pic).

More than 100 onlookers came to look (gawk?) at what one unadorned participant called "an artistic expression of what's important," the Lamron reports. Said the event organizer: "For people to step out of their comfort zone...really proves that they're committed to peace."

Apparently indifferent to indecent exposure laws, the school's dean of students voiced his support for the demonstration: "As far as I can tell, it's protected political expression. We have a group of students who want to take a stand on something—I'm supportive of that."

The Ann Arbor Pow Wow—the largest of its kind in the Midwest— drew protesters who not only were celebrating American Indian culture but were also demanding the University of Michigan hand over ancestral remains and tribal objects they claim belong to Saginaw Chippewa Indian tribe of Michigan, the Michigan Daily reports. At the event, 1,428 seats were sectioned off to represent the number of artifacts the tribe is requesting returned. The university maintains that the remains are "culturally unidentifiable."

SUNY-Geneseo students dressed up as polar bears to rally against global warming last week, the Lamron writes. Organizers also handed out awards to "proponents of environmental degradation," which included the Bank of America and the Bush administration.

Penn State students protested the Guantánamo Bay prison with a rally and demonstration, which featured two students dressed in orange jumpsuits and black masks holding cardboard slats as a faux prison cell, the Daily Collegian reports. The 10-person rally was organized by the school's Amnesty International chapter.
