Mumps on Campus
Reported by: Annie Flaherty
Two SUNY Oswego students have contracted the mumps this semester. Vaccinations at the college are required for all students, but there is a 30-day period in the beginning of the semester before students have to provide the records of their immunizations. The first case of the mumps appeared on campus during this period, whereas the second case appeared this past week.
School health officials took the proper precautions once they were notified the virus was on campus.
“We notified administration […] the student was placed in isolation, and isolation is just a private room on campus, and the student went home until results and symptoms resolved,” said Angie Brown, Director of Health Service at Mary Walker Health Center at SUNY Oswego.
Other students on campus had mixed reactions to hearing the diagnosis of the mumps in their community.
“I was going to get everything and do everything I could to keep myself healthy and safe,” said senior Joe Governale.
Since the school is taking precautions, other students had different things to say.
“I was kind of worried at first, but I don’t think it is as serious as some people think it is,” said student Lauren Nevil.
Officials at Mary Walker say that the symptoms of the mumps start out similar to the common cold, but the distinguishing symptom between the two are very swollen cheeks and glands under the ears. If anyone is experiencing any of these symptoms, contact Mary Walker Health Center at (315) 312- 4100 or online at Oswego.edu/walker-health-center. -

In the second period, the Lakers had many scrappy chances and Mitch Emerson was able to get his stick on it and score the first Laker goal.
Gillispie added another on in the third off a snipe from a pass from D’Orazio and Bruce. Macmillian made the game 3-1 scoring an empty net goal.
The Lakers won 3-1 and will play again in the Marano Campus Ice Arena on Saturday. The Lakers will take on Elmira and the puck drops at 7:00pm.

Approval of Additional Funding for HEAP
Senator Schumer announced yesterday that the U.S. department of Health and Human Services will be allocating over $326 million to the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP).
Many New York residents rely on this service to pay their heating bills during the winter.
Schumer and Gillibrand pushed to have the highest level of funding possible given to this program. Schumer says that this decision will force fewer people to decide between food and heat this winter. The senators say that October marks the beginning of the heating season.
HEAP helps hundreds of thousands of seniors and low income families, according to Schumer.
