SUNY Janitorial Employee Identifies Smelly Brown Matter

It was early on the morning [or "mañana"(in spanish)] of September 30, 2011, when a janitorial employee cleaning the Adirondack residence hall at SUNY Plattsburgh stumbled across a mysterious brown piece of matter on the floor of a first floor bathroom. She revealed to specialexperienceblog that she didn't know what it was initially. 

The employee continued down the hall to the janitor's closet to retrieve cleaning suplies, when she noticed more brown matter in the stairway. As she swept it up, she caught a whiff of the material in question, and at this point she was able to confirm it as feces of some sort. The resident assistant added that he had "never seen anything like this". 

It is typical for freshman dorms such as Whiteface to have trash and unwanted food thrown about, but a situation like this is surprising. It is unknown if the hair stuck to the turd in the photo belongs to the rouge-pooper. It is worth mentioning that the incident did not occur in the substance-free area of Adirondack Hall.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: "It is my hope that the publication of this article deters any further disregard to the janitorial staff and residents of SUNY Plattsburgh."

Doomfu*k thrash eardrums at local art gallery



September 23, 2011.


Local supergroup; Doomfu*k rocked The ROTA Gallery (19 Clinton Street) in Plattsburgh, NY.


Also on the bill:
  • super-collective noise-rockers; Tranquilizer Full Of (T.F.O)
  • up-and-coming group; Implode The Abyss 
  • grind-core group on tour from Georgia; Dead In The Dirt

Doomfu*k's lineup consisted of a standup bass player, a live drummer, a guitarist , a violinist , a vocalist, and a noise-technician/turtablist. The group featured several interesting alternative musical techniques, such as playing guitar with a pencil, and incorporating a shopping cart into their stage setup. The event saw an excellent turnout.


Nino Cuzco (French + Spanish education major at SUNY Plattsburgh) had this to say about the event:

"Matt added a nice punk flavor with his drumming, in contrast to Shannon's elegant violin technique."

Students marvel at their tuition dollars exploding in the sky!



September 23 2011 marked the start of homecoming weekend at the prestigious SUNY Plattsburgh (aka. SUNY Iceburg). Alumni and student's families flooded the campus in hopes of experiencing the magic of 'public university life'. At 9pm, fireworks lit up the night sky. Light rain was no deterrent for the masses gathered to see the explosives being ignited behind the Memorial Hall gymnasium. A typical 20-30 minute fireworks display costs between $3,000-$30,000. In addition to this fantastic use of tuition money, the college hosted a martini social in Sibley Hall from 8-11pm.

WQKE updates their display case!

*image edited to protect the safety of WQKE personelle 

After years of sloppiness, the WQKE display case located in the Angel College Center at SUNY Plattsburgh has been updated! WQKE is SUNY Plattsburgh's student-run commercial-free radio station, broadcasting 24/7 at 93.9fm. Although the board was updated last year, this is the first time it has seen a complete re-vamp in 4 years!

WQKE's promotion department diligently modified the display during their Thursday night meeting at 8:30pm. Students and faculty took notice of the flashy new design as they walked by. 

An anonymous party had this to say about the board:

"Wow that display case looks awesome! I want it inside me."







WQKE meets every Tuesday night upstairs in the ACC at 9:30. If you would like to sign up for a show, feel free to stop by.

Professor T. Clukey is the station's advisor.

SUNY Professor Alternates Java Styles!



On September 12, 2011; SUNY Plattsburgh's Professor J. Jeong was seen drinking an ICED coffee. This is highly out of character for Professor Jeong, as he is usually observed consuming a piping hot brew. In a brief interview, Professor Jeong admitted that his coffee consumption was as necessary as breathing.





On September 13th, Professor Jeong was once again seen drinking a hot cup of joe. It appears that all is well.

In addition to his return to hot coffee, Professor Jeong set an exciting new fashion trend by sporting not one, but TWO ties!

September 29th is National Coffee Day.

Spunky Misunderstood Genius shakes up the ACB Coffeehouse at SUNY Plattsburgh



Amongst a slew of acoustic guitarists, WQKE's DJ Poppa Bear (aka. Spunky Misunderstood Genius) made his premiere appearance at the Activity Coordination Board's weekly Coffeehouse-style open mic. The event kicked off at 9:00pm at the SUNY Plattsburgh ACC in the Subway cafeteria. 


Bringing a unique style of spoken word poetry, SMG rocked the house with his envelope-pushing concepts. This raw performance was intense and heartfelt. A modern day philosopher, SMG left the crowd feeling both enlightened and aroused. After his act, the MC announced: "next time, let's try to keep the swearing to a minimum..."

Free Candy In The ACC!!!

On September 05, 2011, at 12:22 PM, a representative from Alpha Epsilon Phi was distributing free candy in the Angel College Center at SUNY Plattsburgh. The specific flavor and brand of candy are still unknown, but it is likely that candy handout was part of a sorority recruitment initiative. The gentlemen pictured are not technically eligible to join a women's sorority; although free candy is a great way to build a positive relationship with the college community. The incident was observed via the Angel College Center Lobby Web Cam which can be viewed around the clock here.





Shortly afterwards; CMM 360 student M. Wilson was seen receiving a telephone call.
