The University is hosting the final debate in the 2008 presidential election cycle on Oct. 15, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), a non-partisan, non-profit organization that has organized and produced debates since 1988, announced on Nov. 19. Students, faculty and administrators received a special e-mail from President Stuart Rabinowitz on the afternoon of the announcement, spreading the message throughout the University community.
Well, I'm back to clinging on to a mediocre "Picks" record this year. Thanksgiving clearly did not treat me well, as I laid a pair of goose eggs, going 4-10-2, then 6-10. My season is starting to look equitable to the New York Giants' yearly shenanigans; come out of the gate roaring to an impressive first-half showing, then fold mid-season and squeeze into the postseason.

UNIONDALE, NY-The Islanders would be a juggernaut offense if items like puck discipline, blocked shots and consistent goaltending were rewarded with goals. But in a post-lockout era that supposedly favors scoring, the Isles entered Tuesday with an NHL-low 51 goals.
Juicy turkey, succulent vegetables, sweet cranberry sauce, buttery mashed potatoes and grandma's freshly baked pumpkin pie. Curling up in a larger bed than the one at Hofstra without a roommate and taking showers without sandals. Now that's a Thanksgiving break most of the 14,000 University students and faculty enjoyed last week, but an unfortunate handful missed out on the rare family time.
I have been reading The Chronicle fairly regularly for over three years now. Over time, the paper has begun to publish an impressive number of op-eds, post-graduation advice and other interesting articles discussing issues beyond our campus. The only column that truly ruins what has otherwise become an excellent paper is the atrocious "Sex and the Suburbs.
As stressful as course registration is, trying to log in at midnight to get that perfect schedule isn't the biggest problem many students face each semester. Specifically for students in graduate school, one of the biggest problems is finding a way to schedule all of the classes needed to be a full-time student.
As many students prepped for home and prayed for Thanksgiving to come as soon as possible, Pride players suited up for two tough games in a five-day span against local challengers, the Jaspers of Manhattan College and the St. Francis Terriers. Thankfully, the men were able to survive a overtime nail biter against a feisty Manhattan team, 73-71, with a strong team effort, and improved shooting from the line.
After a 20-3 win over Towson on Oct. 13 improved the record of the Hofstra Pride football team to 6-0, giving them the lead atop the Colonial Athletic Conference, a playoff spot appeared to be a very likely possibility for Hofstra. Through the first six games, the Pride had displayed a dominating defense that had ranked atop the CAA conference and an offense that had averaged 31 points per game.
"My skin always gets so dry around this time of the year," said junior psychology major Jenna Falon. "I'm constantly putting on moisturizer." As the weather changes from hot to cold, our skin undergoes a transformation as well. Common symptoms include dryness, itchiness and flakiness, but a few changes to your routine can help prevent the unpleasantness of winter skin.
After reading John Leschak's viewpoint, "ONE should focus more on policy, less on puppies," I was struck by the nonchalant way he criticized ONE, an organization that brings together students who want to create awareness for and find means to end poverty and AIDS.
Sandwiched between a hard-fought home win against Manhattan and the thought of the leftovers to come, the Men's basketball team fell in a surprising game on Thanksgiving Eve to Brooklyn's St. Francis Terriers, 60-57. What makes the loss even more remarkable is how well the Pride played in the first half, shooting 46.
Everyone makes mistakes. This cliché is true for all, but it is a bit different for journalists. Their mistakes are published and distributed for a greater audience. On top of one's personal embarrassment is the problem of the misinformed readers who picked up that newspaper.
I know, as a proud American, I know that all the problems associated with our nation's finest institutions (and Congress) have always been solved through compromise. With this in mind, it is my belief that problem ailing America's finest institution, College Football, should be resolved the same way.
Whether it's legal or not, drinking is a popular college pastime. It's not uncommon to walk outside ones' dorm on a Friday night and see barely dressed people running around screaming nonsense. Yet, very few people actually condone this behavior: they just happen to turn their heads.
After the success of The Hives' punchy "Hate to Say I Told You So" single, "Black and White Album" is their newest release and has received stellar ratings from many professional critics. However this critic can't understand why. For the most part, the album is just a lot of noise with some lyrics thrown in.
Simple brilliance is exhibited from director Kevin Lima in Walt Disney's new live-action/animation movie "Enchanted." A fantasy-meets-comedy, it is a film children and adults alike can enjoy. "Enchanted" shifts a cartoon world to real-life actors. Throughout the movie, the characters sporadically burst into song.
