More than 4,000 freshmen and transfer students received First-On-Us ticket vouchers during the past summer and winter orientations in an effort by the Staller Center to expose students to the Staller experience and to lessen the proportion of gray hair in the audience. But as of April 5, only 141 vouchers had been used.
For a school that prides itself on being “Red Hot,” Stony Brook could not have picked a hotter day for Earthstock 2008. Booths lined the walkways from the SAC to the fountain in front of the Administration…
Unbeknownst to many undergraduate students on campus, professors from various fields of the sciences visit this University almost every day to discuss their research findings and current work.
It is no secret that the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), set up by globalist kingpin David Rockefeller, exists to push for a world government. Carroll Quigley, mentor to Bill Clinton and member of CFR, says himself, “The Council on Foreign Relations…believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established.” In an effort to make this a reality, they have used incrementalism as a way to gain gradual acceptance of their plans.
For three weeks, I toiled away in my room. Sweat-stained Hanes contained rolls I had been trying to get down. The diet of McDonald’s number two meals and Taco Bell’s chalupas did not help, but while I bookmarked Goons with Spoons, running a guild takes up too much time to cook like that sweet Rachel Ray.

It seems that emo kids do have something to fear from Panic at the Disco’s sophomore album, Pretty. Odd., released March 25. The band, once known for their hard beat, techno undertone and circus theme, has emerged from their three years of song writing with a new and more mature sound from their first release A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out.
Spore is proof of evolution. That’s right. Spore. It’s an interaction simulation that shows the progression of species as they start in tide pools, grow limbs (or not) to climb onto land, form tribal existences, build up civilizations, and then finally blow up other planets.
I stopped watching American Idol. Quite frankly, it’s become a mockery of itself (Simon Cowell used to be my curmudgeonly hero; but he has long since been replaced by Gregory House). Luckily, Stony Brook Idol is still fresh and interesting, and a great opportunity to see the sort of talent that can’t necessarily come out to the Open Mic Nights at Tabler or the various productions that occur every semester.
Stony Brook is famous for many things: churning out doctors by the hundreds, being one of the leading research schools in the country, and an overwhelming Asian student population on the east coast. With such a rich cultural representation on campus comes interesting and exciting events. Cultural events pop up throughout the month of April; however, one stands out above the rest.
