The Purpose of the Residence Life Journal
The purpose of the Residence Life Journal is to provide a newsletter that
centers around the Residence Life Program. The journal is
informative, educational, and strives to promote the overall mission of the college within a resident life setting and to the benefit of the campus com-
munity at large.
Philosophy of the Residence Life Program
“The expressed purpose of the residence life program here at Thaddeus
Stevens College of Technology is to foster self-development, good citi-
zenship, and democratic principles. These goals are accomplished
through acquisition of decision-making skills on the part of the
student and through the emulation and promotion of values inclusive
of respect for fellow students, honesty and the involvement of students
in the residence hall governing structure.
The residence life program also seeks to create an environment of un-
derstanding and
appreciation for the values of students from diverse backgrounds. It is
through the
development of this kind of sensitivity that students grow personally,
which impacts directly on other program purposes of citizenship and
emulation of democratic principles set forth in the College’s mission
and purpose.”

“In our endeavors to recall to memory some-thing long forgotten, we often find ourselves upon the very verge of remembrance, without being able, in the end, to remember.”
~ Edgar Allen Pole
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The month of October is dedicated to the women with or without breast cancer. We must support this cause by wearing pink and donating to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This foundation wants to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by pro-viding mammograms for women in need. In order to complete this task NBCF has to get funds from people who help out and support. Many women had died from having breast cancer go untreated. We must be able to help those in need and donate to make sure no one will fall victim to breast cancer.
For more information on how to help the National Breast Cancer Foundation

Riddle #1
It's more powerful than God. It's more evil than the devil. The poor have it. The rich need it. If you eat it, you'll die.
What am I
Riddle #2
The one who makes it sells it. The one who buys it doesn't use it. The one who's using it doesn't know he's using it.
What is it
Riddle #3
Two cops walked into a room with no windows and found a dead man who obviously hung himself from the ceil-ing, though they couldn't figure out how. There was no chair beneath him that he might have jumped off of, or a table. Just a puddle of water.
How'd he do it

Bottom: Coaches: Brenda Chavez, Jonny Figueroa
I had the chance to talk with Coach Figueroa before he and his team started to practice. I asked him “ What do you want to ac-complish this year?” he replied, “With the talent that we have this year, I’m expecting to begin at a slow to medium pace, but by the end of the year, we will be one on the top competing teams.” Then, I asked “What would make this year different from last year?” Coach stated, “We have a wide variety of runners, and for the first time in the history of the college, we have women runners that are competing on the cross country team.” I then wished him and his team ongoing, continued success.
