Staff Writer
MaristCollege students should
have something more to be grate-
ful for this Thanksgiving.
According to Tom Daly, direc-
tor of Physical Plant at Marist,
the new south entrance to the
college should be completed by
the November holiday.
"The New York State Depart-
ment of Transportation
has prom-
ised Marist that the entrance
would be open to traffic by
Thanksgiving," Daly said.
Students said they like the
news and think the announce-:-
ment is long overdue.
Stephanie Mercurio, a sopho-
more at Marist, said she thinks
the project should have been
done by now.
"I think it should have been
completed a long time ago," she
said. "It's taken way too long."

hours playing Pitfall or Combat or Breakout

However, I have oome to realize the difficulty of bal-

with the overall goal of bring-

area is Bosnia.
We are all sick of seeing the products of war in our

out of our minds.

It is time to reconsider America's foreign Policy
towards the conflict in Bosnia.
, _ The three groups involved in the conflict, Bosnians,
Croats, and Serbs, have stated tliat United States
involvement is an intrical part of the peace process.
The point of the resolution is to get the message
across that a peace settlement does not necessarily
mean American troops will be involved in a police
action. .

will not send troops to the former Yugosla-

This shows me that Clinton and his team are· being
careful about making sure that_
they do not send our
troops into a situation that is likely to blow up in their
face.
.
l
realize that many in Congress may be skeptical of
the Clinton team's plan for Bosnia.·
His past track record _
in foreign policy certainly does not_do much to con-'-'·
vince these lawmakers that he is control of the situa-
tion. I do, however, feel that this time the President is
on target with the situation.
This is something that he inherited when he took
office and that he has had to devote an enormous
amount of time to study and look at all the options.
I understand the concerns of the Congress, but I re-
mind them that the constitutional power to send troops
rests with the President, and I encourage them to re-
frain from the age-old legislative-executive
battle that
in this case
can
bring us nowhere. -
On another political note-I would just like to mention .
my fe~lin~s of sh~ck and dismay upon hearing of the
assassination of Y1tzhak Rabin, Prime Minister of Is-
rael.
This is a great loss to the world in a time of division
and destruction. Yitzhak Rabin was someone who was
deeply committed to bringing peace to the Middle East
and who last year won a richly deserved Nobel Peace
Prize for his efforts.
The entire world mourns the loss of Yitzhak Rabin
and remembers
his contributions
to the politics of peace.

We learn from our past military involvement's, but
we should consider all of them, not justthe most
recent one.
In direct response to the Vietnam disaster, we have
kept ourselves out of the Bosnian conflict. History
tells us that when making military decisions based
solely on the previous military encounter, we have
found that we have erred.

We can only hope that intervention is the wrong

made, and see it through untii it has come to some

Oregon's government decides to
take over where parents are failing
Just the other day I picked up a
local newspaper and read one of
_the most disturbing articles
I
have ever encountered.
•
As I thought
more
and
more, how-
ever,
I
realized it was not
so
much
that the article was disturbing,
but rather the fact that, at first, I
actually agreed with what it was
saying.
My
Turn
The anicle was about a recent
law passed in the state of Oregon
regarding juveniles.
Apparently, the state of Oregon
now has the right to fine parents
up to $1,000 and send them to
special classes if their child is
under 15 years-old and is caught
violating
the juvenile code
(drinking, smoking, etc.), break-
ing
a
local curfew, or skipping
school.
The
infraction in
such cases has
been labeled "failure to supervise
a child".
Is this an innovative response to
juvenile crime? Or is it an un-
constitutional intrusion into the
private life of the American f am-
il
?
y.

ties than· most regular people

The one thathas been made
painfully aware to me of late is
the fact that I'm deathly afraid
of using the phones here on
campus for anything other than
regular uses-that
is making
and receiving calls.
I don not "forward," I don not
"transfer," I do not "connect."
I barely know how to listen to
the messages I so rarely receive.
I never learried how to do all

It is stupid to think this way,
but darn funny. I think the rea-

on my general fear of any sort
of call-waiting feature

good for Oregon -
somebody_
has to intervene where parents
are failing, and do something
about the under-age drinking,
the drug-use, and the other prob-
lems apparent among the youth
of our society.
However, as I thought about
what exactly this type of govern-
ment intervention entails, George
Orwell's novel, 1984, began to
come alive before my very eyes.
And if I have learned only one
thing from Orwell's work, it is
that this type government action
is a bad thing, a very bad thing
-
leading to only worse things
in the future.
When our government feels it

pleading with me to
"switch over" to that other call, I
just ignore it.
Do you want to know why?
Because I am sure that person
I
am talking to at that time is just
looking for any sort of excuse to

them listening to classical music

Down with machines! Smash the

Another little insecurity I have
is my general fear of Q-Tips.
I,
Scott K. Wyman,_Esquire,
hearby swear that I have never
before and never will put a Q-Tip

lack of Q-Tip confidence is the
fact that I know I will spear my

and I will be instantly be trans-
formed into a brain dead drool-
ing vegetable.
Or maybe I will nudge that little
part of my brain that keeps me

had as a little
tyke.
It seemed like every freakin'
day a big fat sweaty nurse was
jamming a metal cattle prod into
my ear.
I was completely sure that
they were trying to pull my brain
out one side of
my
head at a
time.
"Does this hurt?" they would
say. "Uh, yea, Nurse Cratchet,
that does hurt. What are you
trying to do anyway, see to the
other side?"
But I kept having these
strange ear infections, and ev-
ery time I had· one, they had to
jam this stainless steal thing
into my ear to "get a better

They never figured out what

were, but I knew exactly what

It was those

it all around, and it seems to
work well enough.

Off the shelf suspense: 'Copy·cat'
and Connick, Jr. not original
by
AMIE LEMIRE
Staff Writer
Suspense thrillers are pretty
much a dime a dozen; it takes
some originality to make one
stand out from the rest.
'Copycat'is the latest addition
to this genre, but there's noth-
ing really unique about it.
It
has
all the standard P.lements of your
basic· run-of-the-mill detective/
thriller flick, complete with help-
less victims, bloody murders,
studly cops and drooling psy-
chopaths.
Sigourney Weaver is Helen
Hudson, a psychologist special-
izing in serial killers. At a stu-
dent lecture she was terrorized
by a crazed killer, Daryl Lee
Cullen played by Harry Connick,
Jr. Connick looks particularly cer-
tifiable, complete with dyed red
hair and crooked front teeth.
Helen had previously testified
at Cullen's murder trial, and he
was put away because of her. To
get revenge, he escapes and
tracks her down at the lecture.
Because of this incident, Helen
becomes agoraphobic, and be-
comes a prisoner in her· own
home.
She hasn't been outside in thir-
teen months, and even simple
tasks like getting the morning
paper is a major ordeal. She
spends her days in front of her
computers, popping pills with
brandy chasers, and collecting
information about famous serial
killers.
Meanwhile, a string of grisly
murders is going
Qn
in the area
that have the San Francisco Po-
lice baffled. Holly Hunter and
Dermot Mulroney are Detectives
M.J. and Rubin, who are as-
signed to the case.
Helen keeps calling M.J. about
the murders, but when they try
to visit her for questioning, they
cause Helen to have a panic at-
tack and pass out.
. Gradually, Helen learns to trust
Rubin and
M.J.,
and they work
on solving the serial murders.
Because of her experience in this
area, Helen is the biggest help
to the two detectives,
who
haven't got any other leads on
the case besides her.
The serial kille~ copycats other
famous serial cases, like Ted
•
Bundy, the Hillside Stranglers,
Son of Sam, Jeffrey Dahmer, right
down to the smallest detail.
Helen, Rubin, and M.J. try to fig-
ure out the clues to the murders,
but the killer is always a step
ahead of them, mocking them.
He sends Helen a message, let-
ting her know she's next on his
list.
'Copycat' is definitely gory
and bloody, but it doesn't sue-.
ceed as a suspenseful thriller:
Movie Eye
Throughout the movie I was
grossed out; yet I wasn't scared;
the predictability factor runs high
here. Director Jon Amiel throws
in romantic subplots that don't
go anywhere-they serve as filler
material to take up time. Also,
Harry Connick,
Jr.
gets credits in
the promos when he's only in·
about six scenes; William
McNamara is a major player in the
movie, and he isn't even men-
tioned.
Sigourney Weaver is a convinc-
ingly helpless victim; I must ad-
mit, the agoraphobia was a nice
touch.
Partners M.J. and Rubin are life-
less; they are stereotypical char-
acters played to the hilt: the ex-
perienced, seasoned mentor M.J.,
and her hot shot stud sidekick,
Rubin. Dermot Mulroney is sadly
underused as Rubin, who spends
most of his screen time bogged
down in si!Jy romantic innuendos,
which have nothing to do with
the plot.
'Copycat' is, at times, a decent
film. The idea of patterning a film
after famous serial killers is origi-
nal;
I
only wished it was put to-
gether better.
There are gaping holes in the
plot; and some of the dialogue is
so corny no one would;say such
stupid lines-"Agoraphobia?
.
You meari;she's afraid of spiders
too?" Come on, really.

Helen Hudson
in
'Copycat'
The identity of the killer is re-
vealed much too soon; there's no
building of suspense because
the audience already knows who
did it.
.
In some movies, knowing who
the killer is beforehand works, like
in 'Silence of the Lambs' where
you were on the edge of your
seat, gripping the armrests as you
watched Jodie Foster helplessly
fumble around in the dark.
.
Here,. this element of knowing
more than the characters do
fizzles in a major way .. The audi-
ence knows, Helen knows, every-
one knows. And no one is sur-
prised ...
In the end, everything works
out alright, just
as
predicted. The
movie just isn't scary; you know
what's going to happen, and
who's going to do it.
The scenes with Daryl Lee are
supposed to be chilling, but in-
stead they're comical. Harry
Connick, Jr. is such
an

MaristCollege students should
have something more to be grate-
ful for this Thanksgiving.
According to Tom Daly, direc-
tor of Physical Plant at Marist,
the new south entrance to the
college should be completed by
the November holiday.
"The New York State Depart-
ment of Transportation
has prom-
ised Marist that the entrance
would be open to traffic by
Thanksgiving," Daly said.
Students said they like the
news and think the announce-:-
ment is long overdue.
Stephanie Mercurio, a sopho-
more at Marist, said she thinks
the project should have been
done by now.
"I think it should have been
completed a long time ago," she
said. "It's taken way too long."

I am a child of the eighties. That is what I prefer to be
called. The nineties can do without me. Grunge isn't
here to stay, fashion is fickle and ''Generation X" is a
myth created by some over-40 writer trying to figure out
why people wear flannel in the summer. When I got
home from school, I played with my Atari 2600. I spent
hours playing Pitfall or Combat or Breakout
or Dodge'em

synthetic in the back of their psychedelic van. I hated

I would sleep over at friends' houses on the week-
ends. We played army with G.I. Joe figures, and I set up
galactic wars between Autobots and Decepticons. We
stayed up half the night throwing marshmallows and

We never beat the Rubik's Cube.
I got up on Saturday mornings at 6 a.m. to watch bad

However, I have oome to realize the difficulty of bal-

area is Bosnia.
We are all sick of seeing the products of war in our

out of our minds.

It is time to reconsider America's foreign Policy
towards the conflict in Bosnia.
, _ The three groups involved in the conflict, Bosnians,
Croats, and Serbs, have stated tliat United States
involvement is an intrical part of the peace process.
The point of the resolution is to get the message
across that a peace settlement does not necessarily
mean American troops will be involved in a police
action. .

It is a mistake to promise troops now if peace can
be achieved without troops: Thi~ question ,cannot

I have only one hesitation a~oufthis plan arid it was

of ~tate Warren Chris-

fact that Radovan
Karadzic and Slobodan Milosevic are still in power and
therefore poised to destroy the peace process.
Th~ Secretary said last week, however, that the Ad-
ministration
will not send troops to the former Yugosla-
via unless those two leaders step down and clear the
way for peace.
•
-
This shows me that Clinton and his team are· being
careful about making sure that_
they do not send our
troops into a situation that is likely to blow up in their
face.
.
l
realize that many in Congress may be skeptical of
the Clinton team's plan for Bosnia.·
His past track record _
in foreign policy certainly does not_do much to con-'-'·
vince these lawmakers that he is control of the situa-
tion. I do, however, feel that this time the President is
on target with the situation.
This is something that he inherited when he took
office and that he has had to devote an enormous
amount of time to study and look at all the options.
I understand the concerns of the Congress, but I re-
mind them that the constitutional power to send troops
rests with the President, and I encourage them to re-
frain from the age-old legislative-executive
battle that
in this case
can
bring us nowhere. -
On another political note-I would just like to mention .
my fe~lin~s of sh~ck and dismay upon hearing of the
assassination of Y1tzhak Rabin, Prime Minister of Is-
rael.
This is a great loss to the world in a time of division
and destruction. Yitzhak Rabin was someone who was
deeply committed to bringing peace to the Middle East
and who last year won a richly deserved Nobel Peace
Prize for his efforts.
The entire world mourns the loss of Yitzhak Rabin
and remembers
his contributions
to the politics of peace.

Communist victory. Now the Bosnia· conflict has
erupted_. Has America made the _wrong decision
again? Are we going to pay for the lack of decisive
action when the conflict first began?
We learn from our past military involvement's, but
we should consider all of them, not justthe most
recent one.
In direct response to the Vietnam disaster, we have
kept ourselves out of the Bosnian conflict. History
tells us that when making military decisions based
solely on the previous military encounter, we have
found that we have erred.
-
We can only hope that intervention is the wrong
thing. We must now stick to the decision we have
made, and see it through untii it has come to some
kind of a resolution. •

Oregon's government decides to
take over where parents are failing
Just the other day I picked up a
local newspaper and read one of
_the most disturbing articles
I
have ever encountered.
•
As I thought
more
and
more, how-
ever,
I
realized it was not
so
much
that the article was disturbing,
but rather the fact that, at first, I
actually agreed with what it was
saying.
My
Turn
The anicle was about a recent
law passed in the state of Oregon
regarding juveniles.
Apparently, the state of Oregon
now has the right to fine parents
up to $1,000 and send them to
special classes if their child is
under 15 years-old and is caught
violating
the juvenile code
(drinking, smoking, etc.), break-
ing
a
local curfew, or skipping
school.
The
infraction in
such cases has
been labeled "failure to supervise
a child".
Is this an innovative response to
juvenile crime? Or is it an un-
constitutional intrusion into the
private life of the American f am-
il
?
y.
I really hate phones, but I love my ears
I have more strange insecuri-
ties than· most regular people
_havefictitious
accounts about

The one thathas been made
painfully aware to me of late is
the fact that I'm deathly afraid
of using the phones here on
campus for anything other than
regular uses-that
is making
and receiving calls.
I don not "forward," I don not
"transfer," I do not "connect."
I barely know how to listen to
the messages I so rarely receive.
I never learried how to do all
_
that "fancy-pants" stuff ·that

derful Foxnet service when I
was a fresh-person, so why

It is stupid to think this way,
but darn funny. I think the rea-
son I am afraid of the special
features on the phone is based
on my general fear of any sort
of call-waiting feature

At first, I found myself saying
good for Oregon -
somebody_
has to intervene where parents
are failing, and do something
about the under-age drinking,
the drug-use, and the other prob-
lems apparent among the youth
of our society.
However, as I thought about
what exactly this type of govern-
ment intervention entails, George
Orwell's novel, 1984, began to
come alive before my very eyes.
And if I have learned only one
thing from Orwell's work, it is
that this type government action
is a bad thing, a very bad thing
-
leading to only worse things
in the future.
When our government feels it
r: --
ging
_ine,
pleading with me to
"switch over" to that other call, I
just ignore it.
Do you want to know why?
Because I am sure that person
I
am talking to at that time is just
looking for any sort of excuse to
hang-up on me, hence if I leave
them listening to classical music
while tending to the other call,
they will be outta there like spit
through a trumpet.
I also feel a sense of power
when I don't
"switch
over" to the
other call, kind of like I'm really
bucking the system, really march-
ing to my own drummer.
My own private rebellion.
"They want me to make the
'switch over' but I'm not going
to-they
can't make me. This
silly machine won't tell me what
to do, I'm my own man, dag nabit!
Down with machines! Smash the
technology! I'm not a number,
I'm a free man!"
Or at least that's how I think in
my little fantasy world.
••••••••••••••••
Another little insecurity I have
is my general fear of Q-Tips.
I,
Scott K. Wyman,_Esquire,
hearby swear that I have never
before and never will put a Q-Tip
into my ear. The reason for this
lack of Q-Tip confidence is the
fact that I know I will spear my
brain with that little white javelin,
and I will be instantly be trans-
formed into a brain dead drool-
ing vegetable.
Or maybe I will nudge that little
part of my brain that keeps me
from
__
turning into a full-on raving
loon, and I
will
lose my ability
to fight the urge I have to run
amok trying to injure everyone
I see with a waffle iron and a-
hula-hoop.
This all stems from all those
ear operations
I
had as a little
tyke.
It seemed like every freakin'
day a big fat sweaty nurse was
jamming a metal cattle prod into
my ear.
I was completely sure that
they were trying to pull my brain
out one side of
my
head at a
time.
"Does this hurt?" they would
say. "Uh, yea, Nurse Cratchet,
that does hurt. What are you
trying to do anyway, see to the
other side?"
But I kept having these
strange ear infections, and ev-
ery time I had· one, they had to
jam this stainless steal thing
into my ear to "get a better
look."
They never figured out what
the cause of the infections
were, but I knew exactly what
was causing them
...
It was those
darn instruments of destruction
they kept shoving into my ear
hole!
But hey now, don't get me
wrong, I have got clear ears.
I'll drive that big green bar of
Irish Spring into my ear and slide
it all around, and it seems to
work well enough.

Off the shelf suspense: 'Copy·cat'
and Connick, Jr. not original
by
AMIE LEMIRE
Staff Writer
Suspense thrillers are pretty
much a dime a dozen; it takes
some originality to make one
stand out from the rest.
'Copycat'is the latest addition
to this genre, but there's noth-
ing really unique about it.
It
has
all the standard P.lements of your
basic· run-of-the-mill detective/
thriller flick, complete with help-
less victims, bloody murders,
studly cops and drooling psy-
chopaths.
Sigourney Weaver is Helen
Hudson, a psychologist special-
izing in serial killers. At a stu-
dent lecture she was terrorized
by a crazed killer, Daryl Lee
Cullen played by Harry Connick,
Jr. Connick looks particularly cer-
tifiable, complete with dyed red
hair and crooked front teeth.
Helen had previously testified
at Cullen's murder trial, and he
was put away because of her. To
get revenge, he escapes and
tracks her down at the lecture.
Because of this incident, Helen
becomes agoraphobic, and be-
comes a prisoner in her· own
home.
She hasn't been outside in thir-
teen months, and even simple
tasks like getting the morning
paper is a major ordeal. She
spends her days in front of her
computers, popping pills with
brandy chasers, and collecting
information about famous serial
killers.
Meanwhile, a string of grisly
murders is going
Qn
in the area
that have the San Francisco Po-
lice baffled. Holly Hunter and
Dermot Mulroney are Detectives
M.J. and Rubin, who are as-
signed to the case.
Helen keeps calling M.J. about
the murders, but when they try
to visit her for questioning, they
cause Helen to have a panic at-
tack and pass out.
. Gradually, Helen learns to trust
Rubin and
M.J.,
and they work
on solving the serial murders.
Because of her experience in this
area, Helen is the biggest help
to the two detectives,
who
haven't got any other leads on
the case besides her.
The serial kille~ copycats other
famous serial cases, like Ted
•
Bundy, the Hillside Stranglers,
Son of Sam, Jeffrey Dahmer, right
down to the smallest detail.
Helen, Rubin, and M.J. try to fig-
ure out the clues to the murders,
but the killer is always a step
ahead of them, mocking them.
He sends Helen a message, let-
ting her know she's next on his
list.
'Copycat' is definitely gory
and bloody, but it doesn't sue-.
ceed as a suspenseful thriller:
Movie Eye
Throughout the movie I was
grossed out; yet I wasn't scared;
the predictability factor runs high
here. Director Jon Amiel throws
in romantic subplots that don't
go anywhere-they serve as filler
material to take up time. Also,
Harry Connick,
Jr.
gets credits in
the promos when he's only in·
about six scenes; William
McNamara is a major player in the
movie, and he isn't even men-
tioned.
Sigourney Weaver is a convinc-
ingly helpless victim; I must ad-
mit, the agoraphobia was a nice
touch.
Partners M.J. and Rubin are life-
less; they are stereotypical char-
acters played to the hilt: the ex-
perienced, seasoned mentor M.J.,
and her hot shot stud sidekick,
Rubin. Dermot Mulroney is sadly
underused as Rubin, who spends
most of his screen time bogged
down in si!Jy romantic innuendos,
which have nothing to do with
the plot.
'Copycat' is, at times, a decent
film. The idea of patterning a film
after famous serial killers is origi-
nal;
I
only wished it was put to-
gether better.
There are gaping holes in the
plot; and some of the dialogue is
so corny no one would;say such
stupid lines-"Agoraphobia?
.
You meari;she's afraid of spiders
too?" Come on, really.

The design of the mansion's

Sigourney
weaver as the paranoid
Helen Hudson
in
'Copycat'
The identity of the killer is re-
vealed much too soon; there's no
building of suspense because
the audience already knows who
did it.
.
In some movies, knowing who
the killer is beforehand works, like
in 'Silence of the Lambs' where
you were on the edge of your
seat, gripping the armrests as you
watched Jodie Foster helplessly
fumble around in the dark.
.
Here,. this element of knowing
more than the characters do
fizzles in a major way .. The audi-
ence knows, Helen knows, every-
one knows. And no one is sur-
prised ...
In the end, everything works
out alright, just
as
predicted. The
movie just isn't scary; you know
what's going to happen, and
who's going to do it.
The scenes with Daryl Lee are
supposed to be chilling, but in-
stead they're comical. Harry
Connick, Jr. is such
an
ugly sight;
you forget that he's supposed to
be scary, and just laugh at him
instead.
I wouldn't say 'Copycat' is a
bad movie, but I wouldn't pay
$7.25 to go see it, either .. Oh wait,
I did.Dam .
