Sony and Microsoft, known for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, released the Xbox One and Playstation 4 this last November. Statistics show that many Xbox fans now prefer Playstation to the Xbox One. From the release to the New Year, Sony has sold 4.2 million consoles while Microsoft has only sold 3 million. Though we have our opinions here at the station, we would like to hear yours!

The Great Pumpkin Run
Need to get back into “running shape” or just want to have a good time with your friends? You are in luck because next Saturday, October 15, both Cooper and Glimmerglass fitness centers will host a 5k run called The Great Pumpkin Run. This race is to benefit Blessings in a Backpack.
Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, people, and resources, to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry. In the United States, there are more 15-million children in this country who are at the risk of hunger.
“In previous years, this race has donated money to the Susan G. Komen foundation for Breast Cancer”, said Sarah DeGeorge, a Graduate Assistant for Oswego Fitness Centers. “This year we wanted to donate to Blessings in a Backpack because the proceeds will impact the local Oswego community.”
This 5k can be done as either a run or walk. The course starts and ends just outside of Hart Hall. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the race which includes best costume, the most participants from a club/organization/Resident Hall floor and many more. Trophies are awarded for those who have the top 3 finishing times (both men and women). Also, Cider, donuts and pumpkin decorating are included after the race.
Students can register at either Cooper or Glimmerglass Fitness Centers now until October 15 for five dollars. To those that did not register beforehand, from 12:30pm to 1:15pm, there will be a table outside of Marano Campus Center to register right before the race.
So if you have nothing going on for October 15, come out and walk or run for a great cause.

HD Update: One Week Later
What a difference a week makes! Everything is really coming along and we wouldn’t be able to do this without our talented installers. They have been working 12 hour days to make sure the studio is finished in time for our first broadcasts at the end of October.
Check out these pictures we got inside the studio:
V.P. of Productions, Ian Dwyer ‘17 shows off our new HD Ikegami cameras
Fresh out of it’s box, still covered in bubble wrap General Manager, Justin Dobrow ‘17 examines another one of our new HD Ikegami cameras
Speaking of boxes… is that floor we see? Where did all the boxes go? Look at all this progress!
Look at that beauty! Now out of its packaging, our new Ross Carbonite Switcher is sure to be a studio favorite!
The rack room is looking AWESOME. With all the progress that was made in just one week, we can’t wait to see what it looks like next week!
Look at all of these cables! With everything that has to be hooked up we are impressed by this seemingly small cluster that’s left.
From our popular Instagram story to this week’s blog- a handful of our members have frequent meetings with our installers. Not to mention the countless hours they are putting in to help out!
We are nearing the end folks! In just a couple of weeks our HD upgrade will be complete and we could not be more excited.
