UCTV Club
Utica College students who are interested in television, being on the set or working behind the scenes can join UCTV Club. The group meets Wednesdays at 12:30 p.m. in the TV Convergence Center on the main campus in the basement of the Faculty Center. All are welcome to join.
Club members will learn how to craft news stories from the writing, how to work a video camera and be able to shoot footage to go with their stories, what it’s like to be a news anchor on the set in the television studio, and how to work the sound system and additional functions that are a part of the production.
For those who are interested in joining or want more information, contact Jacy Sullivan at jasulliv@utica.edu
Battle of the Bras
Some Utica College students had a little push-up to their days as the school’s Womyn’s Resource Center (WRC) hosted what’s known as “The Battle of the Bras” yesterday to raise awareness for breast cancer.
Students got the chance to decorate and paint a bra while learning more about breast cancer. This event is free and at the end, people were able to cast their votes to their favorite bra that was designed that day. The goal of the event was to have the UC community educated more on breast cancer. WRC hosts this event every semester.
Senior Laura San Juan, who’s also a part of WRC, said her favorite part of the event is watching the painting and designing process and what the initially plain bras turn out to be.
One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. See link
Another member of WRC senior Qwelan Dopwell said a couple of her favorite bra designs she’s seen from previous years were bras decorated with pearls and one with a butterfly design on it.

Syracuse Stage Presents: Steve Martin’s “The Underpants”
Syracuse Stage tickets are currently available for purchase in the Arts & Sciences office (Gordon 286) for $15 each at Utica College; A program that consistently offers students (and others) the opportunity to get tickets for Broadway plays at a great price.
This sale offers viewings for comedian Steve Martin from ‘The Underpants,’ as directed by Bill Fennelly.
The following is a trailer for the show. A little sneak peek, so you know what you’re getting:
“A guffaw inducing comedy from the wild and crazy mind of the incomparable Steve Martin. Dusseldorf, 1910. A very public wardrobe malfunction (a young woman’s underpants fall down at a parade—for the King!) becomes the talk of the town in this ribald update of an uproarious German farce. (Yes, there is such a thing.) Chock-full of sexual innuendo, verbal jousting, and non-stop laughter, The Underpants skewers the absurdity of instant fame. Das ist funny! Bill Fennelly (Hairspray, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) directs.”
“Hilarious and bawdy.” – The Village Voice
“Valiantly eccentric.” – The New York Times
If you’ve never seen a Broadway kind of performance, consider this one. Reviews for the show are raving.
Tickets are for the performance on Saturday, October 24 at 3:00 p.m.
Transportation by bus will be available free of charge to students. The buses will depart from Strebel Circle by 1:20 p.m. While they may give you an extra five minutes or so, you’ll want to be there on time. You don’t want to miss it.
