Living on Campus at SUNY Oswego is Easy!
Reported by: Kayla Murphy
With the summer quickly approaching, it is time for SUNY Oswego students to start applying for housing for the upcoming semester. This is a four step process that ensures an efficient way to establish housing for the upcoming semester.
The first of the four steps was an in person mandatory meeting. This took place in the Hart Hall lounge from March 1st-8th. This meeting was to inform the potential on campus students to the rules and guidelines for enrolling in on campus housing. Then the students signed a form stating they had indeed gone to the mandatory meeting.
The second of the four steps is to submit the 100 dollar deposit and agree to the terms of room and board. This step must be completed by Tuesday march 8th. This secures the students spot on campus in a residence hall.
The third of the four steps is submitting housing preferences. This includes roommate(s) / suitemates as well as residence hall and room preference. The forth step is to simply choose from the available space and select the final choices.
This process is currently underway and the deadline for step two, the hundred dollar deposit it this Tuesday march 8th. So if you plan on living on campus the fall of 2016 make sure to complete these steps.

Oswego High School Marching Band Takes on Syracuse
by Owen Marchand, WTOP10-TV
Fall is an exciting time for the Marching Buccaneers as they approach the Syracuse finals. The Oswego High School Marching Band is gearing up to compete in the state championships held at the Carrier Dome. This is a huge event that is celebrated by both the marching bands, and anyone who loves a good show.
The music program at Oswego High School takes pride in music education and the arts as it is full of opportunities and has something for everyone interested in music. They have multiple bands such as jazz and orchestras, and even an annual “Festival of Winds.”
The months of September and October prove to be challenging yet exciting months for the Marching Buccaneers as they are practicing, performing, and then doing it all over again. On October 15 they competed in New Hartford, followed by the Central Square competition on October 22, and now they prepare for the NYSFBC (New York State Field Band Conference) Championships at the Carrier Dome on October 30.
In last year’s Carrier Dome championships, The Oswego High School Marching Band came in 4th place during show 3 (Small School 1 Class) with a score of 85. Every year thousands of students and dozens of bands perform a show in front of judges where they will be graded based on both their visual and musical performance.
The first Championship was in 1974 and only consisted of eleven bands participating. In the past years there have been around fifty bands participating and has even had participants from outside New York State such as Connecticut and New Jersey.

Oswego men’s soccer starts their season strong
By Alex Peck
OSWEGO, NY — The Oswego State men’s soccer team has made history. They opened the season with a 5-1-1 record; the program’s best since 1959. Head coach Dan Kane said the team’s early success is due to the support his players have for one another.“I think our guys have come together really well. They’ve supported each other and they enjoy playing with each other,” Kane said.
The scoreboard reflects the team’s cooperation on the field. The Lakers scored a total of 13 goals throughout their entire last season. This year they’ve scored 13 goals in their first three games.
Senior midfielder Connor Lunduski has been at the center of his team’s success and said he wants to make sure the team’s historic start isn’t a distraction.“Honestly we just take it one game at a time. It really hasn’t sunk in that it’s the best start we’ve had in awhile but, it’s definitely something after the season we’ll cherish but we still have a lot more we want to accomplish,” Lunduski said.
With more than half of their season still to play, there is plenty of time to accomplish even more. For the schedule for Oswego’s men’s soccer team, visit http://oswegolakers.com/schedule.aspx?path=msoc.
