Framingham State University has recently terminated the sale of taxi vouchers due to a newly expanded Ram Tram service.

The taxi vouchers had been sold in the game room for four years. They ZHUHVROG LQERRNVRIÀYHDQGFRXOGbe used to go to various locations in the Framingham/Natick area such as Shopper’s World, the Natick Mall, AMC Movie Theaters and the Fram-ingham Commuter Rail Station.

For three years, FSU sold vouchers from Tommy’s Taxi in Framingham for $20 per book. For the 2011-12 academic year, the vouchers were sold through JFK Transportation for $25 per book. Despite the price increase, 1,736 books were sold last year.

Associate Director of Student In-volvement and Leadership Develop-ment (SILD) Claire Ostrander ex-plained that a state-regulated bidding system determined which company served the campus. Each year, com-panies would place their bids, and

whichever company offered the most inexpensive service won.

Last year, JFK outbid Tommy’s Taxi.

However, the $5 increase had noth-ing to do with the change from Tom-my’s to JFK. The price was raised to help FSU subsidize the remaining cost for service, said Ostrander.

Dean of Students Melinda Stoops said, “We paid the difference from the actual cost of the ride and the $5 the students paid.”

For millions of Americans, the surge of 2007 was a news headline on their television screens, announc-ing that an additional 21,000 troops were being sent into the war in Iraq. For David Finkel, the surge was time spent wearing tactical gear driving in a Humvee, while surrounded by a bat-talion of 800 soldiers from Fort Riley, Kan.

Last Monday, the Pulitzer-prize winning Finkel began his lecture at FSU with a video taken in East Baghdad. Finkel’s narration is soft and deep, quickly listing the protec-tive measures the young soldiers had taken as they traveled from one base

to another: bullet-resistant glasses, 70 pounds of gear and body armor, knee and elbow pads. They carried with them tourniquets, bandages, ammuni-WLRQDQGULÁHV

“If you’ve ever wondered what ‘the surge’ felt like, this is what it felt like,” Finkel said in the video.

Finkel’s book, “The Good Sol-diers,” chronicles the eight months Finkel spent as an embedded reporter in Iraq between January 2007 and June 2008. Finkel said that the intent of the

No students were harmed, and most of the animals which were being housed in the classroom were rescued, said FSU’s External Relations Coordinator Dan Magazu.

“My understanding is that the vast majority of lizards that were in there did survive,” Magazu said.

The rescued reptiles were reportedly relocated to a temporary holding place and were being held under constant surveillance in Hemenway 316B, but a young man who answered at a locked door in the room late Thursday night declined to comment.

Administrators sent out an FSUAlert to students’ cell phones at 7:54 announc-ing that the building would be closed until further notice, and later announced that it had been reopened just after 8:30 classes were scheduled to begin.

Framingham Fire Chief Gary Daugh-erty told The MetroWest Daily News he estimated the total cost of damages would be $5,000 - 6,000, but Execu-tive Vice President Dale Hamel said Thursday that cleanup will likely only cost only a few hundred dollars or less

Please provide a brief summary of your resume and educational background.

I received my Ph.D. at the University of Il-linois at Urbana-Champaign, and last year I was a post-doctoral scholar at Emory University, the National Endowment for the Humanities Post-Doctoral Fellows in Poetics. And so, I was there at the Fox Center for Human-istic Inquiry. I have published about a half-dozen or so ar-ticles on - mostly, I work on modern po-etry and print culture - and I’m here teach-ing modern Ameri-can literature and po-etry. And so, that’s usually what I want to teach and what I want to write about. I’m currently work-LQJRQP\ÀUVWERRNwhich is tentatively titled “Poetic Mod-ernism in the Cul-ture of Mass Print,” ZKLFK ,·P ÀQLVKLQJup. So hopefully, that will come out in the relatively near future - but these things take time. I did my un-dergraduate at the University of Utah be-fore I worked on my Ph.D. I worked on a creative writing master’s at Johns Hopkins University, where I specialized in poetry. So I still do a little bit of poetry writing, but mostly, I’m doing the critical side of things. … One thing I’m doing here, that I think people are excited about, is I co-edit the Modern American Poetry [web] site, which is a critical site about modern and contemporary American poetry.

Why did you decide to major in English and Creative Writing?

When I was in high school, up until I was about when I was a sophomore, I wanted to be an astrophysicist. So, from about the time I was maybe in third grade or so until I was a sophomore, I was really interested and I’m still really interested in science. But the math got too tough. I liked the ideas but - part of what I kind of tend to think about for students who are thinking about majors and careers is - you want to do something that you really love, right? And you want to do something that you - the best moments in doing what you’re doing make it all worthwhile. But you also want to think about what the day-to-day thing is that you’re doing. I was al-ways really excited about thinking about

stars and the universe. Then I was like, “Well, actually, I’m going to be doing a lot of math and computation.” And I started getting really interested - about my sopho-more year - in writing, and especially in PRGHUQÀFWLRQ

What was your best experience in col-lege?

Probably the University of East Anglia study abroad. I was there for a full year. A very similar situation to here - I paid state tuition and was able to study there and it was relatively inex-pensive. I worked my way through college like a lot of people do here. And so I was very mind-ful of expenses, but it was really great. It ZDVWKHÀUVW WLPH,·Gbeen abroad and a couple of things that I really loved about it were that I was learning a lot about Britain, about Eu-rope. But I was also

IRU WKHÀUVW WLPHUHDOO\ LGHQWLI\LQJDVDQAmerican more generally because a lot of people from other parts of the country were studying there. … I was in the hon-ors program there [as an undergraduate at the University of Utah], so it was a similar setup to here. I did an honors thesis and I did a collection of poems. And the profes-sor I worked with was just one of the most amazing teachers that I’ve ever had. So, I try to learn from my favorite teachers and take as many of their tricks as possible to help in my own teaching.

What is the best part of your job at FSU?

I think students here are just wonderful. They really care about learning and they really appreciate the opportunities that are given to them. And they want to get the most out of the experiences. They really want to learn, work with me to improve being a better writer, a better reader. So it’s really exciting for me to be able to do that.

Do you have any hobbies?

I am trying to pick up sort of New Eng-land hobbies. So I just got my solo license to sail on the Charles River in Boston. I went out once and I didn’t capsize, so I guess that’s good.

FSU replaces taxi vouchers with expanded Ram Tram service

The total cost to FSU in 2011-12 was $26,219.

The taxi vouchers are now unavail-able on campus because the Ram Tram runs to the same places as the taxi service. The Ram Tram was new to campus last year as an extension of the parking lot shuttle. It runs on loops to the Natick Mall, Shopper’s World, Target, AMC Movie Theaters and the West Natick Commuter Rail Station. This fall, the Student Transportation Center [STC] added Stop & Shop and CVS on Temple Street to the Ram Tram route.

According to Vice President of En-rollment and Student Development Su-sanne Conley, FSU leases three Ram Tram buses from the MetroWest Re-gional Transit Authority (MWRTA) for less than $10,000 per vehicle per year. This cost includes the lease and week-ly maintenance routines performed by the MWRTA. These buses are “newer, bigger and they are [handicap] acces-sible,” said Conley.

The Ram Tram runs on two routes - Route 1 and Route 2. From Monday

through Friday, Route 1 begins its loop at 4:15 p.m. and Route 2 begins trans-portation at 6:15 p.m. On weekends, the earliest Ram Tram leaves the FSU Bement stop at 12:00 p.m.

The Natick Mall and Shopper’s World serve as popular places of em-ployment for FSU students. If stu-dents need to be at one of these loca-tions before the scheduled departure time, “They can take the MWRTA bus, which runs Monday through Friday until 5 p.m.,” said Ostrander.

The MWRTA is a public transporta-tion service dedicated to serving com-munities in the I-495/MetroWest area, according to the MWRTA website. The MWRTA runs directly through the cen-ter of campus along State Street and costs $1 for students.

Currently, the FSU STC is working out the kinks in the Ram Tram sched-ule. Many students are not happy with the current Ram Tram system, due to late arrivals, late departures or not hav-ing a Ram Tram on route when needed.

According to STC student desk rep-resentatives, the Ram Tram currently runs seven days a week. The repre-

sentatives said the shuttle employment VFKHGXOH KDV ÀYH WKUHHKRXU VKLIWVwhere the shuttle provides only “lim-ited service.”

Freshman elementary education major Ali Ryan said, “I have gone to take the Ram Tram a bunch of times just to be disappointed. I have yet to see a Ram Tram arrive on time or run according to the posted schedule.”

Now that taxi vouchers are no lon-ger available, students who rely on the Ram Tram to get to work on time have a problem if the shuttle itself is not running on schedule. Junior nutrition major Luis Penzo said, “I know people ZKRKDYHEHHQÀUHGIURPWKHLUMREVIRUbeing late multiple times because they relied on the Ram Tram.”

Ostrander acknowledged the stu-dents’ frustration with the Ram Tram system. The Ram Tram is currently short-staffed - causing it to run on a limited service schedule, which can be found on www.framingham.edu/sild.

Conley said, in an e-mail to stu-dents, “You may have noticed some level of disruption with campus shuttle and Ram Tram services. We are aware of the issues and are working toward their resolution. For the most part, problems are related to a shortage of drivers, although most routes are cov-ered by at least one vehicle.

“Our goal is to create a safe and re-liable service that connects students to the local community through a partner-ship with the MWRTA,” said Conley.

Ostrander said there are currently 21 shuttle drivers employed by the STC and she is still interviewing students WRÀOORSHQSRVLWLRQV´7KHKLULQJDQGtraining process can take up to two to three weeks,” said Ostrander, and the sudden resignation of drivers at the be-ginning of the semester left nearly 20 hours a week unstaffed.

SILD has “received an overwhelm-ing number of applications,” said Os-trander. “We are currently taking names on a wait list as we work through cur-UHQWDSSOLFDWLRQVWRÀOORSHQVKLIWV6RWKLV>VWDIÀQJ@LVVXHLVLQWKHÀQDOVWDJHVof being resolved.”

Student shuttle drivers must have a valid Massachusetts State driver’s li-FHQVHQRPRUHWKDQWKUHHWUDIÀFYLROD-tions and no record of drug or alcohol abuse. Additionally, they must submit to random screenings and complete commercial vehicle operation training.

Ostrander said SILD is “also look-ing into hiring a contractor to provide a consistent schedule to Ram Tram ser-vice, but we are in the beginning stag-es of this. This person would need to already have their CDL [Commercial Driver’s License].”

Many students are bothered by the restricted availability of Ram Tram this fall because it limits their ability to travel to their desired destination.

Sophomore psychology major Kay-oua Lor had to take a taxi to work be-cause the Ram Tram did not run at a time that was practical for her. “I wish the Ram Tram would run all day be-cause taxis are way too expensive and a full-priced taxi can cost up to $20,” said Lor.

According to a dispatcher at JFK transit, it cost $2.50 to order a cab ini-tially and $3 per every additional mile, SOXVDFKDUJHSHUPLQXWHRIWUDIÀF

Some students, like senior commu-nication arts major Michelle Rhoades, have relied on the taxi vouchers for the past four years and were upset that students were not informed prior to the start of school that vouchers would no longer be available. “The way they handled it was extremely unprofes-sional,” said Rhoades. “I would have liked to know about this change ahead of time so that I could have made ar-rangements to have my car on cam-pus.”

On Tuesday, Sept. 18, Dean Stoops sent out an e-mail warning students of the dangers of walking along Route 9. However, on more than one occasion, junior nutrition major Luis Penzo was forced to walk back to campus from his job at Shopper’s World at 10:30 p.m. because he couldn’t contact the shuttle or it never came.

Junior communication arts major Samantha Boland said, “It’s a safety concern. … Students should be able to rely on the provided transportation to get them home safely.”

Rhodes said, “The Ram Tram is a good idea in theory. However, it should have been thought out more before be-ing put into action.”

Viewers said the issues they were watching the most closely were the number of jobs in the US waiting for them after graduation and the candi-dates’ stances on renewable energy.

Taylor Tocci, a junior biology major, said her views on energy policy make her an Obama supporter. “I am more on clean energy, and I think it would be a really good thing to do solar power, wind power and water power, and any-thing that doesn’t include oil and coal,” she said.

Tocci also agrees with Obama on the

idea of providing more jobs by giving more money to the Renewable Energy Project.

Conor Tynan, a junior food and nu-trition major, said he thinks Romney’s idea to establish a grading system for public schools will not help the educa-tion system. He said, “I think it’s ab-solutely ridiculous. I don’t think there is a logical way to grade schools. It’s almost as if you were grading on how happy you are. It’s something that’s just not measurable.”

Matthew Curtis, a junior math ma-jor, said he feels that the country is focused more on quantity in education than on quality. He said, “If you create more people with degrees, it’s going to create more value to the degree.”

Curtis said he was unsure whether

having more people obtaining degrees would help mend high unemployment in the country.

Before and after the broadcast, SGA gave out a chart organizing each candi-date’s views on abortion, Afghanistan, the US budget, economy, education,

energy, environment, guns, healthcare, immigration, gay marriage, national security and social security. SGA also handed out forms for students to reg-ister to vote in the upcoming election, which will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

This is in addition to the extensive WUDLQLQJWKHRIÀFHUVDOUHDG\KDYHDIWHUhaving successfully undergone training equivalent to that of a new recruit in the police academy.

Santoro said the entire process of arming the campus police cost FSU approximately $28,127.50.

This week at SGA, the FSU Fashion Club approached the senate with a re-quest of $53,607.60 to fund its annual fashion week events.

This request would cover the costs of the Trashion Show on Nov. 6, the Drag Show on Nov. 7 and guest speak-er Clinton Kelly from TLC’s “What Not to Wear” on Nov. 8.

Fashion Club Treasurer Steph La-belle told SGA that Kelly’s agent had given them a price range of $34,000-50,000.

Senator Kendra Sampson asked if the club had considered featuring a speaker with a lower price range. Vice President Samantha Solimini replied, “He [Kelly] is our lower range.”

Charging students a fee to hear Kel-ly speak was an option that was con-sidered, but Estes said she would feel bad about making students pay for an on-campus event.

Labelle explained that Clinton’s speech “is not just for fashion majors” - it can be helpful to anyone seeking style advice.

proached SGA with a co-sponsorship request for $935 for SILD’s Pledge to Vote event.

Tables are scheduled to be set up in the McCarthy Center lobby on Oct. 11, 16 and 22. Pledge to Vote will educate students about the importance of vot-ing and encourage them to register for absentee ballots.

The co-sponsorship request of $935 will go toward T-shirts to be handed out at the event. The T-shirts will read “I pledge to vote” on the front and “be-cause I care about …” on the back.

“The whole premise [of the event] is - if you care about something, if you care about anything, you should vote,” said Sampson.

Manning moved to allocate $935 from SGA’s co-sponsorship to SILD for the Pledge to Vote campaign. The motion was followed by a second from Boland and was passed unanimously by a 30-0 vote.

The Onyx also came forward with a funding request which was tabled.

Monique LaPierre and Benjamin Martin were both sworn in as senators-at-large by SGA President Hannah Bruce at the start of the meeting.

Last on the meeting’s agenda was senator of the month votes. The nomi-nees for the month of September were Pat Dempsey, Nikki Curley and Dean-na Collins. Curley was elected as sena-tor of the month.

Bruce reminded senators to sign up for governance committees. Liuzzo

announced Social Event Coordina-tor Scott Shea was chosen as e-board member of the month. Dining Chair Nathan Stowes encouraged anyone with questions or concerns regarding the dining commons to contact him so that issues can be brought to the atten-tion of Ralph Eddy, director of Dining Services.

Fashion Club seeks funds from SGA to bring TLC’s Clinton Kelly to FSUBy Cristina ValenteSTAFF WRITER

They are heavy-duty police vehicles that have all-wheel drive, which was particularly important to the depart-ment in wintertime, considering the hilly terrain of the campus.

“Our cars run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” Santoro said. “They take a lot more wear and tear than civilian vehicles, and it got to the point where LWZDVQRWÀVFDO WRNHHS UHSDLULQJ WKHolder cars.”

This brings the extra amount spent on the campus police this summer to about $96,127.50.

Krista Dyan, a junior history major, said, “I think being armed with guns is a little overboard. FSU doesn’t have a big crime problem because it is such a small campus. It’s unnecessary.”

Kelsey Vreeland, a freshman psy-chology major, said, “I don’t think they should be armed because the campus police are there to protect the students for little circumstances. They should

leave the major cases dealing with criminals to the Framingham police.”

Zoe Aylward, a sophomore environ-mental science major, said “I think it is unnecessary and a waste of funds.”

Matt Roberti, a freshman secondary education major, said, “My opinion is that they should be armed because you know how Framingham can get. Also, having a weapon, in itself, will stop people from doing bad things because of what it symbolizes.”

Freshman English major Helen Fal-

zone said, “They should be armed. There was a shooting pretty close to here over the summer so it is better to be prepared if something like that actu-ally happens on campus.”

Alex Brayman, a senior business administration major, said, “I believe it’s an appropriate safety precaution as long as strict regulation and control is PDLQWDLQHG UHJDUGLQJ ZKLFK RIÀFHUVget armed and when they are allowed to use the weapon.”
