Oswego State has taken a giant step into the future. This semester technology students on campus have been able to enhance their learning by using the new technology manu- facturing laboratories and the new multime- dia classroom in Wilber Hall. These are just some of the first additions and renovations COLLEGE HOUSING! that have been taking place on campus. “We have vastly superior equipment and facilities than we had last semester, and it will only get better,” Technology education faculty member, Dan Tryon said. “People know us from our historical strength, and this keeps us competitive. This lets students experience, learn and develop skills that are current and even future technology.” Photo provided by Public Affairs The new Wilber Hall totaled to be a $5.8 Richard Bush (left) and Dan Tryon (right) examine a machine model produced by the new 3D printer.

I people filled a 600 foot stretch of sidewalk. “We were on our way back to scales and I saw this going on and I said lets join. I heard what they were saying and I’m like, yeah, I agree with that,” said Hurley. On Rudolph Road, a police car stopped traffic at the stop sign outside Waterbury Hall. From the line of stopped cars, pas- sengers cheered and waved as the march went by. Marchers chanted, “Join together, we are wise, we will not be victimized.” The dominant theme and intent of the march is to give a voice to those victims that feel they do not have one. “I just think it’s a great thing to sup- port. It represents everything we stand for, speaking for those who can’t speak. Those victims that feel like they have been downtrodden and have been told their cases are not top priority and don’t feel they are important enough to speak out,” fourth-year student and member of the Vega Women’s Honor Society, Siobhan McGee said. The Vega Women’s Honor Society was a tabling organization at the event along with Oswego County’s Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Center, Omega Phi Beta, Lakeside Counseling, Active Minds and the Pride Alliance. “I’m here because I’m supporting my friend who was assaulted years ago, se- nior Ryan Pabis said. “No one should have to endure the trauma of sexual as- sault. I’m just another voice for those that don’t have one.” The group headed back towards west campus. Students in the third floor of the library pressed their faces to the window to see what the commotion was about below. The march came to end back at the Hewitt Ballroom. Supporters shouted one last chant, encompassing the main Mackenzie Oatman | The Oswegonian idea of the night. “Out of the halls and Janelle Stepien holds a sign raising awareness about rapists at the Take Back the Night march. into the streets, we won’t be raped we won’t be beat.” THE OSWEGONIAN NEWS FRIDAY, Oct. 26, 2012 A4 Religion declines Oswego plays host to leaders of media Summit brings together communications professionals from across country Fewer Americans consider themselves religious SUMMIT, from COVER
