College campuses are always hotbeds for political debate. We hit the pavement to find out whom Adelphi students voted for on November 4, 2008 and why.

|
Josef Rodriguez '12
History Major
"I favor McCain. I just think he'll do better with the economy and the war in Iraq than Obama. Those are the two biggest issues for me." |
|
|
|
|
|
Gregory Cantone '11
Business Management Major
"My political background is very conservative, but I will be voting for Barack Obama. I personally think that McCain will want to go to war with Iran. I also disagree with the way he would handle the economic crisis." |
|
|
|
|
|
Camille Pajor '09
Philosophy Major
"Obama! Well, I'm part of the Democratic Party and stand for its ideals. I like [Obama’s] social policy and think he would do better with foreign policy. Those are my main views." |
|
|
|
|
|
Rita Chen '10
Nursing Major
"Obama. I guess he has better plans, he's younger, and he's smarter than McCain." |
|
|
|
|
|
Matthew Dispensa
M.B.A. Candidate
"I started off liking McCain, but then I started watching the debates and switched to Obama. Especially at the Hofstra debate, McCain was just going after Obama without telling me, 'What are you going to do?'" |
|

Stephanie Staco '12
Political Science Major
"[I favor] Obama because I think he has the better economic policy and policy on Iraq. Also, socially I’m more liberal than conservative." |

After years of mounting anticipation, the new buildings are finally open at Adelphi! We asked those whose opinion matters most, the students, faculty, and staff who use the new Performing Arts Center and Center for Recreation and Sports, complete with its new underground parking garage, for their take on the new facilities.

Carrie Novell '09
Theatre Major
"The Performing Arts Center is our new home. We used to be spread all over the campus, but now we’re all in the same building with such a familiar aura to it. After all the construction and anticipation, it’s nice to finally be here." |

Rosanne Clemen
Department of Music Administrative Assistant
"This is my favorite spot. I didn't used to have windows in my office in Post Hall, but now I can sit and watch the rain come down. This building is evidence that the University is growing in leaps and bounds, and incoming students are really impressed by these facilities." |
|
|
| UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE |
|
|
|
|
|
David Lubell
Professor, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
"What's not to like [about the new parking garage]? It's wonderful. So far, I've always been able to find a space, and the parking spots are generous enough that you don't have to worry about scratching the car of the person next to you. I can come in on one side and rush through to the other side to get to class on time. It hasn't rained yet, but I imagine when it does it will be really nice to have this option." |

Steven Gromling '12
Physical Education Major
"It's much easier to find a spot down here, and the spaces are wider so it's easier to park. I use the underground garage every day." |
|
|
| CENTER FOR RECREATION AND SPORTS |
|
|
|
|
|
Allen Louissaint '09
Political Science Major
"I love how the sunshine travels throughout the facility. The natural sunlight creates a cheerful atmosphere for everyone to enjoy." |
|

|
Danielle MacKnight
Women's Volleyball Coach
"We're very fortunate to have these new facilities. We have better practices now that there are two courts instead of just one." |
