Letter From the Editors – 11.10.10

Dear readers, Just take a minute to sit back and relax.  Don’t be worried that it’s already past half way through the semester. There are six weeks (to the day) left of school…and that’s including Thanksgiving!  Not that we’re counting or anything, but the spring semester is slowly creeping up…

X’s and O’s

The C.W. Post football team is coming off two incredibly crushing losses to great teams. But the Pioneers could only afford to drop one of those games, and have now backed themselves into a corner by falling to Kutztown first. And even though last week’s loss against Bloomsburg had all the odds stacked against Post, excuses cannot be made for the Pioneers.

Clutch Win for Men’s Soccer

Pioneers Drop Last Home Game

Post was in for a challenge, taking on 13th-ranked Bloomsburg University at Hickox Field, for the final home game of the season this past Saturday.

Hearbreaker in Triple Overtime

The Pioneer Field Hockey team suffered a 4-3 triple-overtime shootout loss at the hands of Kutztown University after coming back from a two goal deficit.

Cross Country Keeps Eyes on the Prize

The C.W. Post Men’s and Women’s Cross Country team were back in action this past Saturday as both teams competed in the St. Josephs College Invitational in Kings Park, NY.

On both sides the Cross Country squad put on exceptional performances in the race that had a mix of Division I, II, and III teams. Both the men’s and women’s squad took home trophies from Saturday’s race.

Halloween Costumes, Not What Grandma Would Wear

We have all heard that line from Mean Girls: “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.” While the first part might be true the second most likely is not. If a girl does dress like that, most people would have something to say about it, perhaps both positive and negative. So is it really a bad thing that girls dress this way?

Surviving Freshman Year

Well freshmen, throughout the last week or so many of you have probably been smacked in the face with the reality that midterms are here; which means your first semester as a freshman is almost over. Pat yourselves on the back– you’ve made it. Experience is the greatest teacher, or so they say, and now that you have some of that under your belt here is some advice for surviving what is left of your freshman year. There are so many crucial things to know that it is difficult to number them in an order of importance, so take them as you will.

Corrections

In last week’s issue, we would like to apologize for the front cover story.  Our intention was to write an article about the South Hampton radio station, which is part of Long Island University.  The photo and headline were very deceiving and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
