Further investigations needed to determine cause of crash Occurence during off-hours was lucky; damage quickly covered up with makeshift wall By ALEX PANAGIOTOPOLOUS Staff Writer T~e first spectacularly beauti- ful day of spring was disrupted in equally spectacular fashion last Wednesday afternoon. A blue Chevy S-10 pickup truck with an unconscious driver nudged into the left corner of the Lowell Thomas Communications Center facade, causing a quarter of the glass entrance to come crashing down. The crash occurred during Marist's activity period, when students typically are not in aca- demic buildings, at around 12:30 p.m. The driver, 64-year old exterminator Milton Joseph, was sent to St. Francis Hospital with a minor hand inj1,1Ty and was dis- charged later that day. There were no other. injuries. April 6 was also Lowell Thomas' birthday . The iconic broadcaster, writer and world traveler would have been 113. The accident attracted a swarm of onlookers, ranging from shirt- less Frisbee aficionados to Marist College president Dennis Murray. Marist spokesperson Tim Massie said he came from his Fontaine office to find. out what had happened. He said that the timing of the accident probably saved lives. "We just call him when we get different problems," said Dillon. "He was taking care of some bees down in Gartland. He came to Donnelly to drop off his "Thank God no one got hurt," paperwork here, and then he was Massie said.

THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2004 www.maristcircle.com PAGE3 Green Committee seeks pollutant-free energy system By SARA NYLIN .Circle Contributor Marist has the chance to help the env i ronment while improv- ing the college at the same time. The Green Committee has coa- lesced to convince Marist to replace a percentage _ 6f their fuel consumption each year with electricity from wind energy. By doing so , the college would con- serve natural resource s , reduce the output of ' solid waste, and over time, decrea s e its energy bill. The first company the Green Committee has dealt with is Community Energy, Inc. Their program, NewWind Energy , is a renewable energy te c hnology that produces el e ctricity with no From Page One fuel or pollution. Patrick Bean, one of the heads of the committee, has been walk- ing around campus with his team, gathering signatures to show the Marist administration that the students are willing to pay 10 dollars more in tuition per semester to implement the ener- gy switch. "I don't think there is much risk in buying wind energy since it is a reliable source of energy that is good for the environment," Bean said. "Plus we are not taking money from the budget ·or other programs; our group is essential- ly fundraising $80,000 for the school to invest in.energy." Along with the wind energy proposal, the committee is trying to get Marist to consider con- structing environmentally safe buildings, caUed green or LEED buildings (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), as it continues to expand the school. The construction of LEED buildings interests and gave the Marist community an opportunity to do something significant.

A 25 percent switch would be notable, and would make Marist one of the first major consumers in the area.

Bean and Abby Truck crashes int·o Lowell Thomas entrance days before Open House front Erik Vincelette , a senior , was one of many students taking snapshots of the truck's unorthodox parking spot. Within a few hours , pictures and videos of the scene were avail- able online. "I was just wal k ing to class, and since I have photo at 3:30 I figured I could take scime photos of this," · Vincelette said. The accident was similar to one that occurred on February 11 by the Main Gate, when a white sedan's driver suffered a seizµre, causing the car to plow through an iron fence before vaulting onto a parked car via a large rock. Honkala, who works for the traffic division of the Poughkeepsie Police Department , said that many automo- bile accidents are caused by medical emergenc i es. " [The February 11 accident] was with an elderly woman who ended up dying," he said. "It's just kind of coincidental, and it happens more often than you think .. . there's a lot of vehicle crashes due to medical condit i ons like diabe t es or heart attacks."

THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 www.marlstclrcle.com PAGE 4 Celeb _ ration of Pope's achievements obscures blunders • By IGOR VOLSKY Staff Writer The passing of the pope John Paul II has led to an outpouring of world emotion. Iconic-like devotion portrayed the pope as a flawless global leader and has cost him his humanity. While the pope's accomplishments are note- worthy, his shortcomings provide critical insight. Great emph~sis has also been placed on the future of the Catholic Church and the role of a to-be-name pope within it But before we can speculate about the future, we must first evaluate and learn from the past. An honest remembrance yields mixed • results. To reflect on the pope's failures is not to disrespect his legacy. Rather such reflection comes with . the recognition that his passing provides a unique opportunity for the church to learn from its past shortcomings. By 1989, El Salvador, a postage stamp size country in Latin America was engulfed in a brutal civil war between Salvadorian government forces and leftist opposition groups. The conflict was fueled by peasant frustration over the growing disparity of wealth that stemmed from the country's agricultural practices. Coffee cultivation, which domi- nated the Salvadoran economy from ffie latter half of the 19th century, subsidized the land-own- ing oligarchy but forced the majority of the Salvadorian pop- ulation off their land and into poverty. By the 20th century, only two percent of the land- owning population controlled El Salvador's wealth, and most citi- zens lived as poor agricultural workers. In the 1930s economic conditions deteriorated further. The because a man is born again at death, whereas an ant dies forev- er."

Instead, the memo attrib- Farm work- ers found themselves unem- ployed or facing large wage cuts. Desperate to ensure their sur- vival, the far:iner-peasants began to organize government-opposi- tion groups. In 1932 a peasant revolt (with communist under- tones) took one hundred lives. Government security forces responded by instigating a la Matanza (the Great Killing), in which they "methodically lined peasants up against the wall and shot them down." It is estimated that 30,000 peasants and indige- nous peoples were killed in this manner. General Martinez, the dictator and perpetrator of the El Salvador massacre defended the Matanza on religious grounds, contending that it was "more of a crime to kill an ant than a man uted all deaths to the spread of commu- nism in Mexico and praised the Salvadorian government for its "display of efficiency" in dealing with the revolt. Over the next 50 years, while El Salvador remained under military rule, popular frustrations over economic inequalitie~ intensi- fied. And as opposition groups evolved into a powerful social force, the government began to target "subversives" with death squads and assassinations. One officer described the torture these death squads inflicted. "When the actual physical torture begins, there are a lot of different meth- ods: cutting off pieces of his skin, burning him with cigarettes ...

After six years at the Post, Adams found a job as a film critic at US Weekly. Now she sees three to five movies a week, mostly mainstream, and writes shorter reviews. "There are certain movies · I don't look forward to . . . [but it's] still a great job, it's fun," she said. According to Adams, the key to writing a good review is to tell a little about. the plot, lead- ing the reader to the crisis. It's important not t9 "give away the ending or twists," she contin- ued, "most [critics] tell too much." "If I like somethip.g, I stand up · for it," Adams said. "Sometimes I'm wrong- everybody's wrong." When asked what movies she ·likes and dislikes Adams described she has a "pretty wide taste frame." She highly recommends "Lost in Translation" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", called Dodgeball "fabu- lous, a great movie," hates Titanic, and is offended by Schindler's List. Adams describes her own voice as "funny, direct, [with] no bullshit and not arrogant. This is what I think-take it or leave it, [I'm] tough but fair." Now that Adams is at US Weekly, her writing is "a lot softer and to the point," than it used to be. Highlighting her straightfor- ward personality was the fact that she used no notes during the lecture. "[You must have] strong opin- ions, the writing [ must be] ' interesting, entertaining, funny, and [ able to] connect with read- ers," she offered as tips to aspiring critics.

A, veritable plethora of money-hungry food, clothing and entertainment com- panies are salivating over us, and what's inside our distressed leather Abercrombie wallets. Money talks, and according to the Boston Globe, the $172 bil- lion American teens alone spend each year on non-essentials says that in 2005, it's the younger members of society that hold the power of the purse. Our mate- rialism pays off: every corpora- · tion wants to secure a piece of our mouth-watering financial pie. From Pepsi to Verizon, Wal- Mart to Arden B., pleasing Generation Y is at the top of practically every company's list. Companies are knocking them- selves out trying to predict what prod~cts 'will capture our fancy, luring us into stores with flashy billion dollar ad-campaigns, playing our music, listening to our opinions, researching our tastes and preferences, catering to our needs and interests. They don't care about Uncle Ned, who buys one new golf club every year or Grandma Ethel and her thr.ee-dollar, K- Mart housedresses. Corporations are drooling over the teen mallrats, the chic and sophisticated never-wear-the- same-thing-twice 17-and-up set, the prepsters, the twenty-some- things with jobs and money to bum-they're in love with our somewhat . decadent spending habits, and the market reflects just that. Companies are con- stantly branching out, expanding and reinventing themselves to keep up with young people's ever-changing definition of hip. As soon as we so much as reach for our rainbow-striped jelly coin purses, we're confronted with an overwhelming multitude of choices: hundreds of options when it comes to munchies, lip gloss, cute underwear, or brands of jeans Pottery Barn and the Bombay Company have recently created lines of bric-a-brac and furnish- ings designed especially for teens; chain restaurants are (liter- ally) catering to a younger clien- tele, updating menus to include trendy foods like wraps, sushi, fair-trade coffee and quesadillas. New magazines and television stations are more directed at younger readers/viewers, and electronics companies are push- ing cell phones, iPods, digital cameras and laptops with glitzy, pop music-enhanced ads that tar- get more youthful customers.

Recently, classic American clothing companies J. Crew and Gap found themselves with a serious problem on their hands: their profits were in a · slump, . ,tm~.,,and-true ,b&sios w.eren't selling, and consumers were making a beeline toward younger, trendier shops like Hollister, Abercrombie, American Eagle and the infa- mously chic and ine~pensive H&M, W~ h#Pl'~UAd? HY MEN WANTE D. Were their clothes that bad, so frumpy and blase that customers just stopped buying? How could well-made chinos and polo shirts ever go out of st)!le? With a huge and ever-increasing percentage of consumer dollars being spent by the more than 32 million sons and daughters of the beloved baby boomers , chinos and polo shirts just weren't cut- . ting it. J. Crew Outfitters began as a simple, catalog-style direct sup- plier of casual sportswear and shoes in 1983. Famed for cre- ating the first stonewashed chi- nos and solid cotton-pocket tee, it's now an $800 million dollar . brand with 40 factory stores and I 50 retail locations; according to the company's Web site However, the apparel retailer recently found itself in dire financial straits as a new, more fashion and status-conscious generation of customers headed away from their predecessors' time-honored well-made classics and veered toward more runway style, unconventional fun and funkiness. The members of Generation Y don't want to dress like their parents; we don't want to fit in, we want to stand out. We spring for items that we can experiment with, mix and match, express our uniqueness. We aren't into the clean-cut copycat- ting of our parents' childhood, 1tt1d w.e'.n: a ;bit. .too sophisticated for cliched flower child or Gothic costume. Our fashion icons are diverse: Scarlett Johansson, Lindsay Lohan, Beyonce, Avril Lavigne, Paris Hilton, the Olsen twins, the OC, Natalie Portman ... there's no one particular look that defines our style aesthetic. It took a serious financ i al crisis for clothing manufacturers to get the hint, but now that they're in the know, J. Crew, Gap and sim- ilar retailers are undergoing major turnarounds, hoping to become significant competition for younger, hot-shot companies. Last year, J. Crew bit the bullet and appointed fashion business- maven Millard Drexler as chair- man and chief execut i ve to over- haul the company's pedestria n image and sluggish sales. "Anyth_ing and everything is under attack in the company," Drexler said in an interview with the Seattle Post-Inte lli gencer. "Nothing's been left alone unless it (was) right." The new CEO is revamping every as p ect of J. Crew's product. The main focus of the transformation is trending towards more fun, fash- ion-conscious and "upscale," appealing to mature, discerning teens and twenty-somethings that have outgrown trite, bub- blegum mall storefronts and want a sophisticated but stylish wardrobe minus the designer , SE ESTYLE, PAGE9 Think about the future.

After a missed shot by Marist, the Stag's Kyle Herman came down the end and managed to get a shot by Gravino in goal. Despite the out- come, Gravino played well for Marist, coming up with 17 saves. The outcome was obviously not to be desired, and Copelan said the outcome of the contest was due to a few mistakes and missed opportiplities. 0 I think we played well," he said. "But, I also think we made too many mistakes. We are not good enough where we can make mistakes and expect to win."

"(The loss is) tough to handle but the guys are responding exactly how we would expect. It stings a little bit, but it's over, and gotta regroup, get on solid ground and get on the next one."

Conference (MAAC) rivals in Riverdale, N.Y. The two teams split a double- header on Saturday aftemodn as Manhattan starter Chris Cody pitched a complete game shutout for the Jaspers in the first game ' of the twin bill. Cody scattered four hits, and issued four walks, while striking out seven in Manhattan's 8-0 vic- tory. The Jaspers broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning as Nick Derba singled and he eventually scored due to a double by sopho- more Nunzio Franzese. Franzese then came around to score on a wild pitch and a passed ball to make the score 2- 0. Clean-up hitter John Fitzpatrick hit a towering two-run homerun to center field in the sixth inning, which was his fourth of the sea- son. Marist pitching would struggle again in the seventh as sopho- more reliever Bobby Hastry walked to load the bases. Matt Rizzotti singled home a run, and Fitzpatrick picked up another RBI with a sacrifice fly. The Jaspers had 11 hits on the day. Derba led the Jaspers with a three-hit, one RBI performance while Fitzpatrick led the Jaspers with 3 RBIs in the game along with two hits. Rizzotti had two hits with one RBI, and Franzese matched Rizzotti in hits while also scoring twice. Erik Supplee (2 .. 2) went five- plus innings for the Red Foxes giving up four runs on seven hits. The second game featured MAAC Pitcher of the Week Chris Tracz, who started for the Red Foxes. Tracz (3-3) went all seven innings of the game, -which was shortened due to impending darkness. Tracz allowed one run on three hits in a spectacular pitching performance. However, he escaped a jam in the second inning as he loaded the bases with nobody out. 'fracz induced a groundball double-play and an inning-~nd- ing come-backer to limit the Jaspe~s to only one run. The Red Foxes scored all three of their runs in the fourth inning on the strength of a Justin Lepore RBI single, and a two-run home- run by Joe Sargent that stayed just fair down the left-field line. After his struggles in the sec- ond inning, Tracz retired 11 Jaspers in a row until John Maser reached on an infield single in the sixth inning that glanced off ofTracz's foot and trickled away. Another double play aided in Tracz's stellar performance, and that eventually led to Manhattalt's shut down for the 'rest of the contest. The two teams would meet again for the rubber game of the three game set on Sunday, Apr. 10. The Red Fox offense exploded for 19 runs and 23 hits to defeat Manhattan by the score of 19-6. Marist used an 11-run fifth inning to blow open a close game, in which the Red Foxes held onto a one-run lead. Marist sent 13 batters to the plate, and went through three Manhattan pitchers in an impres- sive offensive onslaught. Sophomore Nick Derba hit two homeruns for Manhattan and was 3,4 with four RBIs and three runs scored. Jonathan Smith (2-J) pitched a complete game for Marist, allowing five earned runs on eight hits, and Jesse Darcy took the loss for the Jaspers, lasting only four innings. It was a team effort for Marist as all 11 men that played got a hit and l 0 of the 11 drove in a run. Travis Musolf and Pat Feeney each had four-hit games, and Justin Lepore had a game-high three RBI. After the three-ga19e set, the Red Foxes improved their record to 9-14 overall and 7-2 in MAAC conference play. The Jaspers dropped to 9-10 overall and 3-2 in the MAAC. Marist will oppose LeMoyne in a three game set starting with a doubleheader this Saturday, Apr. 16 at noon. The Foxes will con- clude this home series against LeMoyne on Sunday, Apr. 17 at noon.
