SEREMET .. ·· Steven Seagal is trying to make a state- ment: the environment is a mess and we have to dean it up. Unfortunately, "On Deadly Ground" at times seems about as polluted as the Exxon Valdez disaster. Mr. Seagal's latest film not only features blood, gore, explosions, and vulgarities ad nauseum; but has Michael Caine with a new hairdo that looks like it's fresh out of a com- mercial for Clairol Hair Treatment for Men. How Caine can have·such a good outing as Scrooge in "A Muppet Christmas Carol" and follow it up with a _role as out.of place as his part in "Jaws: The Revenge" is beyond me. The film is Seagal's first time in the direc- tor'.s chair, and it often shows. The plot is as simple as ever: Seagal is For- rest Taft (forest ... environment, get it?), director of disaster control for a crooked oil company called Aegis, headed by Caine's ruthless character, Michael Jennings. Forrest discovers Jennings' sleazy plan to : blow up his own oil rlgS in order to fund the largest oil refinery ever, Aegis L · · · . Don't ask .me to go jnto this scheme· because it stiU doesn't make any sense to me. Upon discovering that Forrest."knows too much,'' Jennings attempts to have him kill- ed in an- oil rig - explosion. . __ . Needless to say, Forrest survi_ves the attack and is saved by a group of eskimos who teach him how to love and appreciate the "spirit ofthe land." · The oil executives are also disturbed when they learn (guess what?) he used to be part of the CIA, giving him the same sort of weaponry knowledge as.MacGyver. If this seems at all familiar, it's because Seagal's last role was a cook who was really a SEAL in "Under Seige." There is also an incredibly ridiculous scene in which Forrest dreams of tribal dances, eagles, and old eskimos chanting, almost reminiscent of Jim Morrison dancing with indians in "The Doors." Through all the eskimo teachings, Forrest now has thewiH and desire to put an end to the environmental damage caused by Jenn- ings an_d his.Aegis compa11y . . . · .. Y<>u _c;in probably,,figure. out the rest. · But· don't · fret~ Seagal action fans;· just becausflh.ere is a somewhat confusing plot doesn't'mean. that the. sadism will let up. There's still that cliched · barroom brawl that pits Forrest against 20 or.so beer-bellied thugs. . . . . . · Arms are snapped and cracked, ht!ads are smashed, and there's ple~ty of those kicks to the crotch where the audience let's out an "oooh" and the poor soul on screen yeHs out, "my nuts!" · For some reason, I still get a sick thrill from watching this kind of stuff. . A technique (not exactly a new one) used by Seagal is .to . use slow-motion in some of the fight scenes to emphasize just how much it hurts to_ have your head fly through a glass window. · - Meanwhile, it still boggles the mind how Michael Caine decided to take this part since it can't really help his (for the most part) ad- mirable career. His character is the typical cold villain who has no sympathy for the ecology he is disrup- ti'ng·or the p~ople he·har'ms .. .. . ·t Th~ reason may be that he ha · s agcioci case ofDeNiro Syndrome: .the · compulsion to star in at least one film a year; ·no matter what the role. · It 0 seems that ~eagal is trying hard to get away from being the main attraction in his films .by featuring established actors, Uke Tommy LeeJones in "Under Siege," .or in this case Caine, and having plots that are supposed to make you "think!' This, of course, is a far cry from films like "Marked for Death" or "Out for Justice," which have brainless plots, great fight scenes, and villains like Screwface. Nevertheless, ''On Deadly Ground". pro- vides the average red-blooded .American the violence he (or she) always craves, but most people with a decent amount of wit will find it to be a bit too crude. (Grade: C-) · Do rz 't hesitate! .Share sharp metal objects _with friends by DANA BUONICONTI There's something universally appealing about spring in February. Mother Nature came through for us big time this past weekend, and 1 couldn't have been happier; this campus needs more people in shorts. And with that said, let's get to the tunes. · I found some cool stuff in my mailbox this week, courtesy of the mighty, if somewhat homogenized, Sony Records. The best of the bunch, to my sur- prise, are two industrial/metal-type bands: Stabbing Westward and Prong. The Chicago-based Stabbing Westward has just released their debut record, "Ungod." . They remind me a little bit of Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, but with more ambience. And instead of using electronics as a basis for songs, like Ministry and NiN are famous for doing, Stabbing Westward use electronics as a way of enhancing · their material. Maybe the most intriguing song on the record is "Can't Happen Here," which combines industrial with African and Arabian- sounding. percussion. . The result is. a unique twist on the standard industrial fare. One fault I have with Ministry is that sometimes their songs are too long, and because of that, there tends to be few musical and struc- tural changes within the songs .. Stabbing Westward avoids this pitfall with the ultra-catchy "Con- trol" and "Nothing." Both songs are fairly short, with easily identifiable pop verse/chorus formats, so it's hard to get bored with what's going on. · Another sharp track on "Ungod" is the NIN-sounding . "Lies."

Unlike last year's Oscars, which were almost a ~isaster, this year's are going to be great. Singer Christopher Hall has the kind of strong voice that demands attention, serving as a focal point for the majority of the songs. Adding to the musical appeal are drummer David Suycott and keyboardist/percussionist Walter Flakus, who manage. to make the drums and percussion sound less electronic and more human . . "Ungod" is not only an im- · pressive debut, but a record. that recharges metal's batteries. Prong's new song,."Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck,'' is a real knock-out, and an improvement in their overall sound. . - With the help of producer Terry·. Date ("Snap Your. Fingers, Snap Your Neck" is ·some of his best work in years), Prong~s approach hits harder. The addition of ex-Killing Joke bassist Paul Raven · and former Murder Inc. sampler John Bechdel have also greatly added • to the sound. Unfortunately, Sony only sent me the single, so I can't say how the rest of their new one, "Cleans- ing,'' is. But if "Snap ..

Staff Writer T!i_e / gro~ing : ,' concern~ of , en- .: vironmeritalists ' can ' now be seen . through art. · According to Donise English's artist statement, she · wanted to get in touch ._ with the natur . al environrnent. . After sculpting with bronze and other - man made metals English wanted to return to the environ- ment and use materials that came from the woods. · . "I now spend time in the woods near my studio where there is an abundance of tree branches that have died and found their way to the floor of the woods," English said. English has taught classes in sculpture and fundamentals of drawing at Marist for 7 years. She also teaches a class at Dut- chess Community College, and earned her degree . in . painting from Bard College in Red Hook, N.Y. English said she used to express her intellectual preoccupations through molten materials and she found it, "bereft of any connection with the natural environment." English now responds and par- ticipates with a work through the natural world around her instead of basing her work on an intellectual preconception. . The change in philosophies is due in part to time. Basically world opinion has realized that waste and distance from nature have left societies devastated environmental- ly, according to English. English's art is a return to nature and all of its abundances. Being able to make decaying · branches and sticks into something mean- ingful is a very rewarding process, English explained . Before using nature's waste to · create art, English used massive amounts of power for welding and casting metals. She now goes into the woods and searches for sticks with peculiar twists and knots while trying to understand their spatial movements. "They begin to suggest to me an image of a three-dimensional form that can be made from them," English's statement said. The whole process of searching and studying materials is where she conceives the ideas that eventually become scultures. English decided to concentrate on sculptures instead of painting because . she wanted to realize her two-dimensional objects. The materials English uses are all natural, even the outer layer, or skin as she calls it, is beeswax. "I work the wax to create a roughness that is simlar to the roughness that I find in natural sur- faces such as rocks, tree bark and leaves," English said. English said her works have a common characteristic, all of the forms have human qualities. "The surface texture appeals not 9nly to a cognitive sensibility but, even more powerfully, to our emo- tional and sensual memories," English said. As well as taking up much of her time there is very little monetary gain. "My sacrifices are to be an ar- tist," English said. Her purpose has never been to make money but rather to create. English said she makes a connec- tion, between the materials she uses to mark the surfaces, with nature and man. "Materials such as rubber cord, wire, furniture casters or , rubber gloves are important parts of the sculptural composition," English said. There is a strong intention to connect man with nature because of the already significant ad- vancements according to English. "A year ago my finished scultures were heav •, hard and in- destructable. Today my sculptures are light soft and fragile," English said. English has entered three pier.cs of her work in two exhibits. This spring in Summit, N.J. she has one sculpture at the New Jersey Center for Visual Arts, March 13 through April 15 and in Corpus Cristi, Texas, at Del Mar College, April I throu h 29. ,. 4 THE CIRCLE, , FEE3RUARY 24, 1994 M EDT EC H ... continued from page 1 to the treatm~ni of Jatientnvith labs in the area that sti.Id~nts can So why aren't more students tak- tuberculosis,. and other blood- find . helpful." . , _· -. .. • . ing · advantage of this program? related diseases that could not be .

Bill Smith filed a lawsuit in Fort Worth, Texas, against the estate of Elvis Presley, charging that the estate had been "perpetrating a fraud" that Presley died in 1977. Smith says that the estate's "claim" interferes with his at- tempts to sell his books on Elvis' current whereabouts. As it wasn't enough to kill him in the first place. Vicki Jo Daily, 36, filed a lawsuit in July in Jackson, WY., against the widow of the man she collided with and killed in a February acci- dent. The 56-year-old victim's snowmobile had suddenly cut in front of Daily's pickup truck, and he died at the scene. Police said Daily was free of blame, and now she wants money from the widow for the "grave and crippling psychological injuries" she suf- fered by watching the man die. An argument for lightswitches.

Communication can _ be defined in many ways , What it generaJJy • means is - dialogue. The exchang · e of ideas. Two or more parties listening and dis~ussing and considering and answering. . . . - _ - : - ~- - - _ - - _ How many students _ can name their administrators? Identifying them is even more of a stretch. . . _ .• _ .- Then there is the almighty Board of Trustees. Student involvement with that group is unheard of. The student body president is allowed to attend the meetings. A liaison is . needed to bring the words and rules of those in power down to the rest of us who are expected not to question and not to participate. How many administrarnrs attended the speeches among candidates on Mon- day night? _ _ Not very many of them · take a very active interest in what goes on with the students, beyond what the job description requires. · It was refreshing to see Bob Lynch in auendance at both the speeches and the live debate between presidential candidates. It is impossible to complain about the administration as a whole so long as he has a say in what goes on here. Faculty members were also pretty scarce at these events. We are here to get · an education. Part of this education process includes learning by example. What kind of example are we getting? Communication. - Perhaps if the administrators and trustees were held · accountable to - the students, communication would not be the problem that it is. Important decisions are made without any student iriput because of the lack of communication. There are those who would like to keep it that way. For some, it would be easier to ~eep this hierarchal structure of power which keeps the unassuming students at the bottom, content to vote for SGA represen- tatives who will ensure an extra refrigerator in the townhouses. The new student body president has an opportunity. If he really wants to improve communication on this campus, then start at the top. If he really wants to serve his constituents, the students, he should hold the administration and the trustees accountable. All students should start questioning, suggesting, communicating. You do not have to be a part of SGA in order to get things done. They are there for us, but we can · take the initiative ourselves. Communication cannot be one-sided. They may not like it, but we can force those in power to listen. We have no idea - what really goes on at this school. There is the real com- munication problem. Enough appeasement. We want more. He said The administration has - said : , that they would like to - see more interaction between · students and faculty. . \ . . - _ The Housing O(fice plans programs for the students in all areas of student housing. - How many of these programs have you at- tended? I know that some of you may . no~ have received invitations ·· but · a very good portion of you have and I can not help but wonder why you do not attend, After talking with a professor; the answer became obvious, there is no reward or incen- tive for you to come back to campus at night and interact with the students. Moving on ... I do not have a lot of space but I will try and explain some of the reasoning behind the column on political correctness. Some people have come to me asktng me if I made those political correct words up. The 'answer is no. - · - I have friends who work on Capitol Hill in D.C. and I called them up to try and get some of the "buzz-words" on "the Hill." I do not agree with the word "challeng- ed" because I believe that tha~ is how the ma- jority looks at the minority . If everyone was in wheelchairs, then it would not be a challenge. Since everyone is not homosexual or "sex- ually challenged", people may perceive it as a challenge. Just as last week when I challenged the students, this week I challenge the faculty. Go make a positive change for the Marist community.

We need to hold President Murray - and the Administration · accountable not to just our parents, but accountable to us. - This won't . happen though, until we show them we want _ this attention and respect. It shouldn't take a phone call from our parents to get President Murray's attention. If you have a problem with anything - housing, registration, or the cap on clubs - calf or write to President Murray and insist that something be dorie. If our parents can do it, there's no reason why we can't. - Don't call your parents. Take responsibili- ty for yourself and your actions. Give P _ resident Murray a wake-up call. Demand that students get representation on the Board of Trustees. Demand that Marist, a communications school, find the funding to have a better television studio, radio station and newspaper. Demand condoms on campus if you want that. Demand the same resp,:ct your parents would get. _ Caroline Jonah is one of The Circle's political columnists. · .

I was most impressed with the enormous preparation and com- mitment everyone made to this program. Special recognition to James Gorham for directing and coor- dinating the television broadcast.

No famous rock performers were there - yet they all seemed to look like one. I mean they all looked like the Addams Family ~haracter Cousin It, which I imagine wouldn't be the best look for dating or parole hea·rings. Yet they all seemed to be out on parole and with some pretty hot girls, which could only be explained by the girls need to possibly visit the optometrist and depending on how intimate their relationship is with the Charles Manson look-a-like maybe even the clinic for a free blood test and lollipop. I always thought that was nice - the lollipop with the bloodtest - "Oh you have a rare blood disease, by the way, cherry or lemon?" Then of course these various convicts at the convention also seemed to have some strange skin disorder where the pigmen- tation on their arms formed several reptiles and dragons with occasional knives and kit- chen cutlery. Yes, I'm talking about tattoos. _ l wonder if any of them got their tattoos at the place on . Route 9 called "Tattooz". This would bother me - so- meone who is to put a perma- nent ink marking on my body using needles and can't even spell "Tattoos" l mean it's a bad sign if you go. to a tattoo parlor and ask for . .. a .'.'MOM!'.·,.tattoo.:.on .. youi: .. forearm and he asks, "How would you like that spelled?" I'd say, "Correctly would be nice." A rule of thumb - if you go to get a tattoo with something simple and pleasant spelled in it like "MOM" or "WAR" and Mr. Human Etch-a-Sketch grabs a dictionary - GET OUT OF THERE! Now of course I sec many of these Hell's Angels extras spen- ding money like crazy at the convention and I'm thinking they should conserve their money for the future because bail can be pretty stiff · l imagine how beneficial it would be for the parents of these kids if they could've seen what their kid would turn out like in 20 years. Instead of a college education fund it would be a bail and legal fee fund. And no time would be wasted on looking for colleges, but in- stead plea bargaining for various state prison accomodations. Hey, I'm just kidding because I to went through my long hair, leather, and temporary tattoo stage - temporary because I was low on both money and threshold for pain. But one day I looked in the mirror and realized with this hair I'm starting to look like a girl. And then I figured if I'm go- ing 10 emulate a part of a girl there are nicer parts than just long hair. Of course I can't grow any or those nicer parts but I'm figur- ing if any guy could then ven- turing out of the house and get- ting a job would really plummet on our list of priorities. · Now as I walked out of the record convention with about 11 cd's and looking over the Chapter 11 forms I picked up on the way out, a rather dirty looking guy came up to me and asked for money. Now I do have a heart and would like to help people out - but I have no patience for swpidity. Standing outside of a place where people just spent all their money is a pretty dumb place to be asking for it! If you were smart you would stand outside a bank. Here is where people just got mone)' and m,gh\ be mote w:.U- ing to share some. . But I wasn't totally heardess. He asked for$ I to get a soda and instead I gave him a tip - I said "T.he snow is melting, if you're thirsty grab yourself a straw." Hey - in tough times you've got to improvise. Oh, and if you've taken anything I've said to heart and have been offended then you're even more whacked in the head than I am. · But if you still feel the need to send hate-mail - please send it to Shannon Doherty because I think she deserves more.
