It is still uncertain as to whether the commuter lounge will be permanently located in the Student Center, or trans - ferred to the previous location in Mid-Rise after construction is completed. According to Fielder , while the new lounge improves commuter life on campus, she also wants to increase commuter's partici- pation in student activities. _ /'. A goal of mine is to build com- muters' relationship with resi- dent students ," she said. "Also, I want people who aren't com - muters to see what we do." Fielder hopes to accomplish this by collaborating with stu- dent government , and co-spon- soring activities with other clubs and organizations on campus. She also is talking with admin- istration about having a person from a different area of the col- lege to come and speak on top- ics of interest to commuters. "I'd like for various faculty members to speak about hot topics, that is, those areas of student interest , " Fielder said. "Hopefully this will help the commuter students feel more connected to the administration and for the administration to identify the needs of commut- ers." Fielder, who previously was a freshman mentor in Leo Hall, is looking forv:ard to her first year as commuter mentor . She re- places former commuter mentor Sue Lozinski who accepted a high school teaching position. 'Tm excited about the chal- lenge. I've had experience be- ing a mentor , and now I will ex- perience some different aspects of mentoring," said Fielder . Fielder is also looking to the commuters themselves to con- tinuously improve their life here. Commuter Senators, Erica Deragila and Tori Neville have plans to improve commuter's presence in student govern- ment. , According to Deragila , there are plans to start a tutoring pro- gram within the commuter popu- lation. . . . . . . . ·. , .. . .

About 20 Marist students at- tended the reception, including senior, Kevin Lundy. Osgood sat down with all the students in a round table dis- cussion which Lundy said was exciting. "It's weird to see him on the TV and then hang out with them and see how they are," Lundy said. "He was one of the nicest, down to earth people." Lundy said the round table started off with Osgood giving a three-minute background speech, and then opened it up to student's questions. {:t'.t~t~~:tttf;t _. 1985 - · Howard'K.

' :·: . . . . . Student wof ks in Biosphere 2 by JAIME ANDERSEN Staff Writer Helen Stahlin, junior, ventured to Arizona this summer to work inside one of the most incred- ible scientific experiments ever designed. Stahlin, a double major in en- vironmeJ'!tal policy and second - ary education, applied to Co- lumbia University in hopes of being accepted into its summer program, which would earn her the opportunity to actually work inside Biosphere 2, a self-con- tained sealed environment. . Stahlin said the project was originally designed to see if hu- mans could live in an enclosed area on the planet Mars. The structure was a world all in it- self. "The entire structure is made of glass,'.' she said. "Everything inside the structure would be recycled, and all waste would be taken care of." . Originally the project was pri- v~tely owned, and those partici- pating in the experiment had to remain inside the gigantic "green house" for two years. Located in Oracle;justoutside : of Tucson, Biosphere 2 con- : tains ' a . desert, savannah, i"ainforest, ocean, . and marsh. All of these normally separate ecosystems exist together in- . side Biosphere 2. What was particularly interest- ing and rewarding for Stah)in was that those who travel to Oracle to see-Biosphere . 2 may only do so from the out.side. Stahlin, however, was able to go inside and become a part of the little self-contained world. WhHe there, Stahlin stayed in dorm apartments about a ha . If.of a mile away from the Biosph _ ere. She said her main purpose in the project was to study the en- vironment as a complete . sys- tem. In order to accomplish this task Stahlin and others took a field trip to t~e Grand Cany01:i fora week. "It was amazing, we had to hike the canyon, and map all of the geological changes," she said. Stahlin also traveled to Mexico for four . days, to study estuary systems and tidal pools. She said the group was study- ing the effects of industry on these systems.

Camille Cellucci speaks at Marist . byEMILYKUCHARCZVK . F ea tu res Editor Making opportunities for yourself is how_ to get along i _ n life according to Camille Cellucci. • Cellucci, visual effects pro- ducer· of the movie "Titanic,' '. spoke Sept. _ 15 to a crowd fuli of "Titariic" lovers in · the Nelly Goletti Theatre. She explained many of the visual effects in the movie . . Cellucci, who attended Uni- versity of California at Berkeley, said she had not planned on getting into a career in visual effects, but saw an opportunity and grabbed on to it . . "While I was at Berkeley I tried getting a job at the film company ' Industrial Light and Magic," she said, "and just when it looked like I was going to get a job I asked them if I could take Tuesdays and Thurs- days off because I was still a student." Since she was a student the company would not hire her, so Cellucci convinced executives to let her start an internship pro- gram with them. They agreed Ph010 coune,,y of Bob Lynch Camllle Celluccl talked about her experi- ences working on the movie ''Tltanl_c." and she ended up staying there for six years working on such films as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "Willow," and "The Abyss." "I just had to create an oppor- tunity for myself," she said. "I got a lot of great experience and made a few connections." In 1993 Cellucci got a produc- ing position at Sony Pictures Imageworks where she pro- duced effects for several mov- ies including "Look Who's Talk- ing Now." She worked at Sony until last April; it was then she got an unexpected phone call. "I was driving along and all of a sudden I get beeped," she said. "So I pull over and I call and the guy says 'Hi, Camille. It's Jim Cameron and I want you to help me work on "Titanic." A week and a half later she was working on the epic film. She said many of her peers told her she was crazy. "Everyone was like 'what are you doing, what are you think- ing, the movie's going to be a flop,"' she said laughing. "I think they were wrong." Because there were not any studios with water close by that were large enough for the movie, Cellucci said they had to build theirown studio in Mexico. She said it took I 00 days to build the boat from bottom up, with construction going on day and night. She said the group also had to make their own cable be- cause there were not any com- panies that could produce the 140 miles that was needed. The filmmakers also built their own hydraulic system that flooded the boat one-foot per minute. Cellucci said authenticity was very important to the produc- ers. Companies, which made the carpeting, silverware, and even the buttons on the clothes, were sought out for the movie. Spe- cial boot camps on etiquette and sinking survival were held for extras. Even the breath that came out of the sailors' mouths had to be perfect. Although the movie takes place several decades ago, there was a lot of technology from today used to enhance it. Many scenes, such as the long cam- era sweeps across the boat, were filmed with a green screen. Film- ing with a green screen means the actor acts out his part in front of a green screen and later on the background is filled in . Model boats were used to film water motion when sailing and then those wave motions were added into the movie . Also, computer enhanced dolphins were added in the water . Senior Lara Daghlian, who has seen ' Titanic" five times , said she enjoyed listening to Cellucci speak. "It was really interesting to have someone from the movie come in and talk," she said. Ben Winters, senior, said Cellucci gave him a new per- spective on the movie . "I think ifl watched the movie again I would probably be think- ing more about the special ef- fects," he said. "Titanic," co-produced by 20th Century Fox and Para- mount, has grossed more than $1.2 billion in movie theaters. The movie, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, won 11 Academy Awards, including best picture and director. Cellucci said the most impor- tant thing she has learned from working on "Titanic" is to never give up. "If you have an idea or vision that you want to try go ahead and try it," she said, "because you'll never know unless you do." ~ SEPTEMBER 24, 1998 by SARAH DYKEMAN Staff Writer Between busy schedules and trying to stay awake, students may feel they do not have time. to worry about staying healthy and feeling well. Wellness is more than just ex- ercising and eating healthy. It involves one's emotional, physical, spiritual and intellec- tual health. When all these com- ponents are balanced, the body and mind can experience com- plete wellness. This is an holis- tic approach to life. There is no purpose to a great body with a stressed out mind, or a stressed out body with a great mind. Like the philosopher John Locke once \Vrote, "A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in the world." To help students understand how to achieve wellness, Marist is hosting a Wellness Fair. The 1HE Allf"T'C r . ~ t Feat . u : res fair will be held on Friday, Sept. 25, from I to 6 p.m . . in the McCann Recreation Center.

In addition, the books on this . shelf are stereotypical of, and in some cases, detrimental to, ·women.The vast majority of the books on the shelf focus on re-· lationships, diets, and exercise. By making relationships and body image the emphasis of this section, the bookstore is per- petuating negative stereotypes about women. Not only does this imply that women's only concerns are with maintaining their appearance and relation- ships, but it also conveys the message that these issues should be women's primary fo- cus. I request that the Marist Col- lege Bookstore challenge these inaccurate and unjust assump- tions by remedying the situa- tion. I do not believe that'it is necessary for diet books to be placed i_n a section for women. Instead, they should be placed under a_category such as fitness · and health, as books about re- lationships should be placed under the title of relationships. Women are capable deciding what interests us-we do not need a sign indicating where we can or are supposed to shop. I would like to see a "Women"s Studies" sections replace the "Women's Interests" section. The academic women's studies books that ideally ,vould stock the shelves would allow mem- bers of the Marist community to educate themselves, not only about women's history (which has been excluded from "main- stream" texts), but also as to how gender issues, such as the one 1 am writing about, negatively impacts the lives of women. ·· I request that each member of the Marist conimunity. includ- ing students: faculty. and staff. challenge such inaccurate and unjust assumptions. I think Americans have developed a sense of ··political correctness" that h'as allowed us to consider how our words and behaviors ·can impact certain populations in America. I do not believe that such an awareness of how sex- ist assumptions impact women has become as widespread. We . need to start looking at issues through a lens of gender. in or- der to see how offensive stereo- types impact women. It is time that women get a fair share of the world's considerations.

His moral- ity was brought to th~ forefront immediately, in '1991 when he came in second at the Demo- cratic P.rimary in New Hampshire to Paul Tsongus.

We lived in a revolution and we were the de- serters. We deserted ourselves to acquiesce to the dark lord whose wrath was far worse than the loneliness we found within. He trod upon our spirits and we inhaled his sins. Defeated by our circumstances, the remain- ing eight waited for one to face the fury of his evil. Many years we waited and no one stepped forward. So I, the youngest, rose from out of the shadows that. had become our safety to embrace the light. Scared. but desperate, I be- crone the sun. I overcame the darkness that had crept into our house. I was the light and the heat; the breath of passion. I dipped my trembling flesh into the river of life and all at once I understood. I came to know in that instant the secrets of humanity's inner nature and those of my surroundings. No longer was the world inhabited by distant, blurred masses. The shapes took form of mountains, trees, clouds, and people; mil- lions of people. Their souls merged with the river's life force and beckoned me to experience life as I had never dreamed.

Douglas Guarino is a freshman Journalism major. Student addresses campus ·apathy . . ' . I wonder if the average Marist student realizes how privileged they are to be in a school with as many resources as Marist. We are given ample opportunity to be involved in our surround- ings. Wejoin clubs under the pretense that we will make a dif- ference . Yet, I look around and • from what I see we must be per- fectly contented. Or at least our lack of action can be interpreted as such. In last week's circle Edward J. 0'Keefe articulated a dilemmas I have been c:lealing'with Tor . quite some time: What.is · the sec'.re(?'Iristead of what · is . the - secret to the . liberalarts educa- . tion, I ask, what is ' the secret to · engaging people in their sur- roundings? . . . .

The liberalarts coi-e curriculum is designed for that purpose. It is iniportcJ.ilt for the average citizen to have a basic understanding of political science; history, Jiterature;and philosophy. · More importantly, . with a core curriculum we all have the same basis. when we branch off into our specified fields. What good is all of the busi- ness knowledge in the world if the person wielding that power doesn't know the environmen- tal, economic, or political ramifi- cations of the actions they are taken.

Viilce Gill off ends my stereo, texas style by PATRICKWHITILE A & E Editor Ordinarily the thought of lis- · tening - to, let alone taking the valuable time write about a Vince Gill CD, would have honified me. However since i Big Vinny was . courteous enough to send The Circle a free CD, his riew release "The Key" was newsworthy. · : The best way to describe his - music is to paraphrase Kyle from ''South Park"; it is cheesy and lame yet eerily soothing at the same time. I am decidedly not a fan of country music. In fact, the only time I have ever watched "The Nashville Network" was when niy roommate's · remote control ran out of batteries and . I . was too lazy to make the eight-foot . tre . ~ to '. the idiot box: Conversely, . ' , . my first listen to Mr.: Gill's CD made me.want to throw itoff of an 80-foot cliff. He does pos- sess good range and keeps his Southern drawl modestly under wraps. When our boy rips · into the occasional _ emotional out- burst is when "The Key" begins to fall short. His attempts at love songs really hit me . where it hurts, · over and over and over again. Repeatedly. With the force of a fully encumbered pickup truck. -The "s~and ouf' number on this thirteen'-track assault on the eardrums has got to be ''I'll Take Texas." I'll take deportation to just about any state, · country; or province over this CD. Big Vinny's duet with Patty Lo.veless on ' . 'My Kind of Woman/My Kind of Man" left me more than a: ' bit loveless. What's the best lyric on this celebration of life, love and re- gret in the land of grits and. honey? Try, "The pain oflQsin' him cuts like a . Randall knife/I learnecl a few chords on the banjo was the key to Hfe." I must giv!! credit where - it is due though. If you've ever lost a love or basically had anything bad of any kind ever happen to you, there is something on this CD you can relate to. Gill truly does have a lot of passion in his work, and I can feel that he really· does meari it when he says, "I'd get up off this barstool if you'd play something we could dance to." His just diffi- cult to accept this obvious sin- cerity when it is delivered . through a voice with all the subtlety of the warbling of a castrated sparrow. Can spar- rows even be castrated? I di- gress. I think Vince Gill has a bright future ahead of him if he chooses to cross over into more mainstream American popular music. I see great things in the possibility of a tech no remix al- bum. Possibly he could join a Buddhist monastery and do a nifty all-chanting album. Thich Nhat Hanh, are you listening? Perhaps he could even don a checkered suit and go ska. I think there is quite a market for plaid cowboy hats out there. There must be some genius in his work that I am just not privy too, because judging by his se- lect discography he has been quite prolific. There is even a "Christmas With Vince Gill" video. I am sure it is pure cin- ematic brilliance, but I could probably get the same effect if I watched my brother ride the quarter-operated bull outside my local supermarket. Espe- cially if it was snowing at the time.• Vince Gill's new painfully full- length release "The Key" really made me think about why other countries are fed up with Ameri- can export. I have come to the conclusion that this kind of music is essentially a scam to balance the influx of bad Euro- dance music we have been flooded with. MTV should se- riously consider making their next "Celebrity Death Match" an encounter between Big Vinny and crew and Ace of Base.

Anyway, Rosy took the point, I headed the right flank and Leonard took the rear as we con- tinued down . Esopus Cree_k. What we saw next could only be described as a bad acid trip. We were in God's country and in a place void of urbanization, sources of entertainment are lim- ited. After rounding a comer, my stomach dropped as my eyes fell upon two men and two sheep. I was speechless and revolted. No they were not do- ing that. Get your mind out of the gutter you filthy animal. Two tubes were docked on the riverbank and Sweet Home Ala- bama played on an inexpensive transistor radio. The men were obviously drunk, holding cans of Budweiser and sporting cut off dungarees. I'm not sure if the sheep had been drinking or not but they were being some- what flirtatious because the men were dancing with them. They circled the two animals; laugh- ing, stumbling, singing, dancing and poorly recreating the sheep's mating call. The team was quite perturbed by this atrodous site and we were about to come unglued when Rosy reminded us that we had a job to do. The second section of rapids got ugly. James Watson, codename Sasquatchtrash, was manning the left flank and he ran into a little bit of trouble. Along the right the fastest and most vio- lent. A fallen tree protruded out over the river, lying eighteen inches above the surface and Watson was headed right for it. Rosy ordered him to abandon tube but his ego got the best of him. Falsely assuming that he could steer out of harm's way, he rode right into it. Thrown from his tube, he struggled to stay above the surface and clung to the tree for dear life. I actually saw him mouthing the Hail Mary and although the rest of the team and I should have helped him, we were too busy laughing. Some stretches were quick and semidangerous, while others were slow and relaxing. The ride lasted an hour and a half and the team made it out unscathed. If you are interested in tubing, Esopus Creek is located in Phoenicia. Get off exit 19 on the thruway (87) and hop on route 28 west. If you' re a rookie, I highly recomm _ end a helmet and additional padding for the knees, elbow, chest, and groin. If you want to go tubing and you're not white trash, you will have to undergo a temporary transformation or the veteran tubers will either mock you or assault you with inner tubes. [ did not require any transfonn- ing but many of you probably will. If you are interested in more infonnation on tubing, contact the Student Activities office. And no, I would not advise that you try it in the Hudson River. ~ .. ; I ' I l. i ' ' · . :. \ : -:- , ... . . . _ ~ .. :' ~ . ... · -- 1HEOIOE - SEPTEMBER24 · 1998 · . . · -, · . ~ · A , ~& '. ;~ :E . 1111111111 ''Rounders · takes~ ·- the , audience on - :· runatoun · d -: .

Enter Derek Green, the new vocalist who has brought Sepultura back up to par. On some iracks his voice is very reminiscent of Max, but he maintains his own style. Derek's voice is very strong and powerful. With the guitar attack of Andreas Kisser and drums oflgor Cavelera, · Sepllltura is brought back to _ , · the glory days. ·· Sepultura broke through to a more mainstream audience with the release of 1996 's · "Roots.''. With - that albu ' m the band began in _ corporating more tribal beats and down- tuned style heaviness to their sound rather than their · · · traditional speed-metal_ crunch. Recent interviews have revealed that this was mainly due to _ Max's _ plans for , t)-ie band. His new pr()ject Soulfly is basically ~n extension of what he and Sepultura were trying to accomplish on ''R.oots." "Against' 1 on the other hand owes a lot more to the Seps' past efforts _ like "Arise" and "Chaos A.O." The tribal rhythms are still in full effect on many of the tracks, but they crea~e a much less alternative-accessible sound than "Roots" or - Soulfly's debut . The question that remains to be answered is whether or not Sepultura's fan base is re<!~Y to accept the now Max-less ban<;{. Derek is a more than - suitable but less high-profil_e replacement. Yes this record is different than their previous releases. But you · can't put out the same stuff over · and over.

River Aits Festival. They played an intensfve · set thatlasted for about an hbur of pure swing ska that led the crowdonto the stage; including members of all ages and races. Promoting a sense of unity while having as much fun as possibie was what the day was an about. Opening the day on the stage was Marist College's very own MidHudson Pork who have · been together for the·last three · years. They were asked to play only two days before the con- "Skunk") eyes there seems to be a lack of support lately . "It just seems like there's this big nationwide problem, there's no unity anyrnore, the hard-core kids won't support ska and vice versa while the punk kids are somewhere in between," Chris said. "People just need to come out and see more bands instead of sitting around watching MTV." . . . The band aiso addressed the fact that they encourage the stfaight edge ideas but at the same time they try not to be preachy about it. "People have to make their own d . ecisions so we're just try- ing to help , you know," Chris said. "It just gets to me that kids think they're being rebellious by drinking, meanwhile Anheiseur Busch is a multi-billionaire cor - poration run by some middle- aged guy who couldn't care less about them." cert after the ' original opening band had canceled. A Marist alumni contacted Junior Jon Murray to ask if they could play on such short notice and _ the band agreed. The second band was Peifect Thyroid who played an ener- getic set that'also got the crowd involved by singing along to some of their more popular songs . The day went along • without incident · and as · the concert closed around 5:00 ev- eryone seemed to leave with a Photo courte s y Jun Murray R-L Jon Murray, Vinny · commlsso, Mike Flynn and Mike McCarthy (not shown) of .

There are many bands today that try to promote unity in the punk/ska/hard-core scene; and one of those is Peifect Thyroid who had · an electric perfonnance at the Hudson River Arts Festi- val. They played an upbeat set, mixing swing ska with pop punk that really got the crowd in- volved.

He paints a landscape of a post- apocalyptic world in which de- mons have taken over · and the · human race is enslaved. This also works incredibly well with Brook's playful and descriptive writing style. He is . one of the few authors who · can create a range of moods without giving up the plot in the process. The only drawback to "A Knight Of The Word" is that it gets repetitive at times, espe- cially in descriptions of physi- cal attributes. Brooks also has a way of stereotyping his charac- ters, especially when he creates dialogue. This does not change the fact that A 1 Knight Of The Word is a good read, and it is worth picking tip ifthe · premise interests you.
