Nathan Hubbard is a communication major who has served as sports editor of The Lamron for the past year. Despite coming into his role with the newspaper hesitantly and at the behest of his roommate, Hubbard has become one of The Lamron’s strongest supporters since he first joined in the fall semester of 2022. With his graduation quickly approaching, it is only fitting that Hubbard be given the “senior treatment” and opportunity to express his story at SUNY Geneseo.
As some students may know, SUNY Geneseo’s annual GREAT Day takes place on Wednesday, Apr. 24. There will be a plethora of discussions, presentations, and showcases covering a range of topics and major interests. For English majors, something to keep in mind is the roundtable discussion—“Internships for English Majors: A Round Table”—which will take place in Bailey 102 from 4:30-5:45 p.m. During this discussion, five students—myself included—will share our experiences during and before obtaining internships with the department.
The month of April is annually observed as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Before SAAM was officially declared in 2001 by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, activists held campaigns, protests, marches, and other events related to sexual assault and violence throughout April. Sexual assault is a challenging topic, but it is crucial for us to discuss these public health issues. It is even more important for us to show our support for sexual assault victims whose stories have never been shared.

Parrots, along with the species related to them, are found to be the most intelligent birds in the world with about the intellect of a small child. In March 2024, researchers established that parrots can use technology, such as tablets, to further their brain power and induce mental stimulation.
Nearly two years ago, Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, allowing abortion rights and access to be decided on the state level. After the Supreme Court’s ruling, it was predicted that half of the states in America would instate laws that would restrict or even completely ban abortions, which has so far proven to be accurate. Recently, Arizona joined the ranks of these states with their plan to reinstate a ban originally created in 1864.
On Friday, Apr. 12, 2024, two separate organizations held fundraisers for their respective charities. Alpha Kappa Psi (AKPsi) and Morgan’s Message both raised money by letting students pie members in the MacVittie College Union. Pieing has been a popular fundraising option for organizations at Geneseo for years, but the intriguing aspect of these pieing events, specifically, was that they occurred at the same place and at the same time.

Who is the rightful owner of the respective artifacts in the archaeological record? I am not any more qualified to address this topic as the next guy, however, as an anthropology student, my interest is piqued. On principle alone, my consensus is that artifacts created in a culture should remain in that culture. If artifacts are stolen, ethically, they should be returned to their culture or country of origin. The controversy begins when asked the important question: ‘What if that culture is no longer identifiable in the modern era?’

If you were to ask, “Who are the most famous icons of cinema that came from the teachings of legendary ‘B’ movie producer Roger Corman?” You might get answers such as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, or James Cameron, but one you’ll hear less is that of Joe Dante. Dante is a filmmaker whose story echoes that of many of his peers, beginning with promise and a few hits under their belts, but ultimately getting spat out by the system.
26-year-old Kayleigh Amstutz, better known by her stage name “Chappell Roan,” has become a prevalent face in the public eye over the past few months—even having the opportunity to perform during Coachella’s opening night this year. As with any artist who makes their way into the mainstream, some may wonder what it is about her, particularly, that warrants this attention. The most obvious answers are related to the singer’s aesthetic, the energy she brings to her music, and her presence both on and off the stage.
With the film adaptation of Susanna Collins’s prequel novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, hitting the big screen, the franchise's popularity has soared in status once again. This has made me wonder: how would all of the lovely folks here at The Lamron fare in a battle to the death relying on wits and pure physicality?
Michele the Library Dog has been a beloved member of the SUNY Geneseo campus for several years. Every Thursday morning, Michele is surrounded by students in need of a distraction from their hectic schedules and coursework. We got a chance to sit and interview Michele, who had a lot to say about the students who see her monthly on Thursdays in the Fraser Library.
