Cruise Around the World Has One of Its Best Turnouts Yet
This year’s edition of SUNY Oswego’s ‘Cruising Around The World’ took place this past Sunday, April 7.
Students toured different residence halls on campus. Each residence hall represents a different country or culture, and students are given a passport.
“We have been in Funnelle, Johnson, Mackin, and Sheldon, which are together, plus Riggs, Scales, and Waterbury. We are on our way to Seneca now,” Oswego student Valentina Solonos said.
Food and drink are also provided, for which volunteers are needed.
“I make sure that they come, have fun, and take pictures,” volunteer student Britini Robinson said.
Hart Hall featured the Bahamas. Here students could taste some food from the Bahamas such as piña colada, or experience the music or the culture from the Bahamas. Not only did students learn about the music and the food from the Bahamas, but also some of the slang from the region.

Former SUNY Oswego Professor Killed During American Military Operation
On April 23, 2015, former SUNY Oswego professor Dr. Warren Weinstein was killed in an United States counterterrorism operation, the White House announced Wednesday.
According to an email sent out to students and staff of the university, Dr. Weinstein left Oswego in 1979 to work with U.S. aid for people in developing countries. He was abducted more than three and a half years ago in Pakistan, and it is reported that he was inadvertently killed during a U.S. operation in the area.
In a statement made by SUNY Oswego President Deborah Stanley, she expressed Weinstein’s devotion and character, saying, “Dr. Weinstein devoted his life to making the world a better place. He left us to serve others in some of the world’s most impoverished and troubled regions. His life was an inspiration that will not die. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and colleagues.”
Dr. Weinstein’s wife also made a statement in which she stated that the ultimate blame belongs to those that abducted him, saying, “the cowardly actions of those who took Warren captive and ultimately to the place and time of his death are not in keeping with Islam and they will have to face their God to answer for their actions.”
The White House and President Obama have since issued statements regarding their sorrows towards the situation and Dr. Weinstein’s family.

Walgreens Buys Rite-Aid in Merger
Local Rite Aids may be changing their names soon after Walgreens announced today they are buying Rite Aid in a $17.2 billion deal.
If the deal gets approval from the antitrust review, the second and third largest pharmacy companies will combine and surpass the current number one, CVS.
Rite Aid stores will keep their names for right now, but they eventually will change. The consolidation of the two stores is just another change that the health care industry is changing due to Obama Care.
If approved that would mean Walgreens will have more than 13,000 stores in the U.S alone. In recent years, Walgreens has been buying up other chains, such as Duane Reade in 2010 and the European pharmacy chain Boots Alliance, last year. Walgreens currently is in 11 different countries.
