Plaque commemorates WWI veterans of 100th anniversary of the armistice
OSWEGO, NY — Veterans’ Day 2018 marked a historic time for SUNY Oswego. The brave men and women who fought for our country overseas were officially immortalized in way of a memorial plaque near Sheldon Hall at SUNY Oswego.
SUNY Oswego President Deborah F. Stanley had expressed her utmost sincerity towards this impactful memento and stressed the importance of gratitude for our rights and freedoms as citizens as a result of the armed forces’ bravery and tenacity.
“These were individuals who did not fight on our soil,” President Stanley said. “They went to represent America. They went to fight to guarantee and defend democracy, and to make our way of life insured.”
The plaque honors twenty brave individuals from the Oswego Normal School, including student Jesse Merle Hewitt, who lost his life in France in 1918. Town Supervisor Rick Kaulfuss shared President Stanley’s sentiment and reverence towards those who died for our freedom.
“I think it’s really important to recognize that veterans have contributed a lot to our society in a lot of different ways, and they keep us free,” said Supervisor Kaulfuss.
The public may visit this plaque along Washington Boulevard, aside Sheldon Hall, at SUNY Oswego.

Democratic Debate Gives First Look at Candidates
Last night marked the first of many Democratic Presidential Debates in which Hillary Clinton surprised many with her professional and poised approach. Along with candidates Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley, Jim Webb, and Lincoln Chafee.
Clinton has been listed as the frontrunner for the Democratic side of the Presidential Race for some time now, but candidate Bernie Sanders’ recent uprising in the polls has given her campaign some fits.
Many were excited and curious to see how Sanders would be in the debate, and he stayed true to himself, being the ultra-progressive, almost revolutionary candidate that many Democratic voters have fallen in love with.
The major piece to take from this debate is the overall sense of unity of the candidates that was not seen in the Republican Debate. For the most part, all five candidates agreed on the same set of principles including higher taxes on the wealthy and stricter gun regulations. Where they did differ is on their plans on how to achieve their goals.
Overall, Clinton seemed to show off her confidence as being the frontrunner, whereas Bernie Sanders stuck with his radical approach that may have won him a couple voters. While we do not know for sure who will emerge from the Democratic Party for President, what we can be sure of is that it will be an election for the ages.

As many students are satisfied with the nostalgic feeling from both Disney and Nickelodeon, they share their response to matter of the rivalry between Disney Plus and Netflix.
“I think that Netflix has a lot more going for them than Disney. It may draw away a few people to watch a few Disney movies, you know on Netflix, but in the long run, I don’t think that Netflix should have much to worry about regarding Disney Plus. ”- Damon Fletcher
Others say otherwise,
“I think I feel bad for Netflix because I just feel that Disney owns a lot, it’s a huge conglomerate, so they have a lot more to offer right now I think than Netflix does.” – Ivanelis Fletcher
And some are in the middle
“Either people have Netflix or Disney Plus now. They are like watching monopolies like Disney get ESPN, Netflix gets a deal with Nickelodeon. Like it’s just crazy how they are just taking over on what people watch on regular TV anymore.”- Matthew Van Ihsem
