Marist's Fede makes NFL debut with Miami Dolphins
BY AVERY DECKER
Sports Editor
The Marist football program made
history Sunday afternoon when for-
mer Red Fox Terrence Fede played
in his first professional, regular sea-
son game in the NFL, becoming the
first student from Marist to accom-
plish this feat.
That wasn't the only historic event
from the Dolphins game against the
Raiders. With 8:13 left in the third
quarter, Fede recorded his first
tack.le on Raider's former 1000-yard
rusher Darren McFadden. He be-
came the first former Marist foot-
ball player to record a tackle in a
NFL regular season game.
The game took place at Wembley
Stadium in Lmdon as the NFL tries
to extend its reach to Europe. Fede,
a 2013 Mari.st graduate from Nyack,
New York, played his first snaps of
the season after missing the first
three games with a knee injury he
sustained during preseason.
Fede was taken in the seventh
round of last spring's NFL Draft,
another first for a Marist football
player. He was the 234th overall
pick in the
draft
and with every pick
that went by, Fede's chances of
being drafted and making history
dwindled.
Fede's historic run for Marist
started in his senior year. His dom-
inance on the defensive line not only
helped lead Marist to become Pio-
neer Football League co-champions,
but also earned him the Pioneer
Football League Defensive Player of
the Year award.
His 13 sacks were enough to set
the Marist single-season record
while his 30.5 total sacks over his
college career are the most all-time
by a Red Fox. He also led the entire
Football Championship Conference
in sacks-per-game. No Marist foot-
ball player had ever won any major

award from the Pioneer Football
League.
Prior to his junior year, scouts
began to notice Fede's ability on the
football field.
"A couple scouts came in and
started talking to me," Fede said in
an interview last year. ''The light
bulb went off that I could be
drafted."
When it comes to the defensive
end's success on the field, Fede cred-
its his coaches, saying, "They
weren't going to let me be content."
Prior to playing at Marist, Fede
was a threat both on the football
field as well as the basketball court
for Nyack High School. He was
named First Team All-State in foot-
ball along with All-Section, All-
Country and All-League honors.
His high school football coach was
ecstatic when Terrence made it past
the Dolphins final cuts and onto the
season-opening roster.
''It's very exciting," Fede's high
school football coach John Castel-
lano said in an interview with
LoHud.com. "I told him on the
phone I was very, very proud of
him."
Making a NFL roster is extremely
difficult, especially for a seventh-

"An
artist's work is their soul
standing naked for all to see," re-
veals Ed Smith, Gallery Director
and Professor of
Art
at Marist.
This past Thursday, September
25, the Marist College Art Gallery
officially opened with its Annual
Art
and
Art
History Faculty Exhibition:
"Plans, Sketchbooks, and New
Work" in an inaugural ceremony
from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Located
in the Steel Plant Studios, a 3,200-
square-foot concrete chamber with
a lofty ceiling, the initial reception
was a hit. Featuring outstanding
pieces completed by faculty mem-
bers in a grand display of different
mediums
,
the exhibit provided a
brief insight into the minds of these
talents.
The exhibition is strategically for-
matted and designed to attract cu-
rious stragglers to enter. The line of
focus leads from the photography of
Dan
McCormack,
to
Richard
Lewis's stimulating animations, to
the precise paintings ofDonise Eng-
lish. Presented are intricate sketch-
books of finished and unfinished
work
showing the thought processes
behind each artist's design to
demonstrate meaning and creative
conveyance. Miniature terra-cotta
sculptures and a finished bronze
work
diversify the scene alongside
graphic and painted murals. Ed
Smith's wax mold of a human torso
is a fantastic piece and
will eventu-
ally be converted into a bronze
sculpture. This demonstration of
unfinished work helps gallery goers
conceptualize the artistic procedure,
where artists attempt to convert
something good into a thing of
greatness.
Professor Smith, along with Grace
Henderson, a digital media major
with a minor in graphic design and
art history, coordinated the night,
allowing art students and curious
aesthetes alike to collide in ·a com-
bustion of vibrant culture and vital-
ity. Refreshments and a generous
banquet was served to invite burn-
ing queries and opinions of students
for the artists, transforming the
Steel Plant into a hiatus of style and
sophistication.
Smith delineates that the purpose
of the faculty exhibition is
"to
show
that the faculty doesn't just sit
around all day on a dusty shelf, or
in an office waiting for students to
·
pay some attention to them-they
DO something." Marist's art pro-
gram is a diamond in the rough, a

When asked why they were at

Present and future construction in the works
BY MICHAEL CONWAY
Circle
Contributor
Marist College is comprised of 34
buildings and structw-es. With such
an extensive campus, it's important
for
the Marist community to
constantly update the structure of the
buildings and their technology. The
projects that
will
modernize Marist
are already taking place around
campus, but some are still in the
works.
The Lowell Thomas Communication
Center and the Rotunda are some of
the buildings that are already
undergoing a little face-lift, which
many students took notice of upon
their return to campus this past
August. Many were hoping to return
to campus and capture some

skyscapes with
the signature Rotunda at the forefront
of the photo, but were disappointed to
still find it in the process of an update.
The Rotunda, undoubtedly Marist's
most unique structure,
will now
feature large glass windows and a
stone structure.
In
an effort to
modernize the building and correct
some water damage, construction
began at the end of Spring 2014
semester, and has been ongoing
throughout this year and
will
continue
until
its
scheduled
completion in November.
"The Rotunda construction project
is
moving along well and should be done
around Thanksgiving 2014," said
Chief Public Affairs Officer, Greg
Cannon.
The Rotunda project, however,

seen its share of construction delays

Cannon also stated that the new

that they are not sure what
will

is
complete. The
new science building, when it's
completed,
will allow for new aspects
to the Marist science curriculum to be
debuted, expand upon current science
programs and update existing ones.
''The new science building
will
establish our Physician Assistant's
program. The building
will
also allow
us to expand upon our athletic
training program, biology, and our
allied health service programs," said
Cannon.
Renovations, amongst other things,
make Marist a modern college
·
as well
as a college that can quickly adapt to
the need of the students and faculty.
It is interesting to look around the
campus
and
see
these
new
renovations and updates alongside
that of the old and archaic structures
that stand as staples on the Marist
campus. Buildings like the Bryne
House, Greystone Hall and Kieran
Gatehouse show the history of Marist
though their ancient structures and
architecture. With the new science
building, housing buildings and other
renovations, Marist
will
be a
refreshed and more modern campus,
yet still have an aesthetic that
highlights its historic buildings.
Marist football alum records first NFL tackle
round pick. Fede was one of only a
handful from the 2014 NFL Draft's
seventh-rowid
that made it on his
team's roster.
Castellano continued in his inter-
view, saying, "apparently, he's worked
hard
and he's made a nice impression.
He's got great upside. He studies hard
in the classroom; he's leaned on veter-
ans for some advice."
From page one
''I
am able to use my speed and tran-
sition it into power," Fede noted last
year. He added, saying,
''I
feel as
if
I
am very versatile."
Fede showed that versatility in his
debut Sunday, lining up at multiple
positions on the defensive line.
On the last play of the game for the
Dolphins defense, Fede was in on a
sack on Raiders' quarterback Matt
McGloin. Originally, he was credited
with 0.5 of a sack, which was later
subtracted as officials awarded the
entire sack to fellow defensive line-
man
Derrick
Shelby.
Fede might see slightly less time
next Sunday, when the Dolphins 2013
first-round pick Dion Jordan returns
from his suspension following a failed
drug test.
While making an impact on the stat
sheets in limited minutes, and being
able to successfully pressure the
Raiders' quarterback multiple times,
Fede can become a force to be reck-
oned with behind the Dolphins start-
ing defensive line.
The Miami Dolphins next game
will
be Sunday, Oct. 12 against the Green
Bay Packers at 1:00 p.m.
Exhibition showcases professors' art passions
growing and successful home to
tthriving artists and their pupils.
Smith says that these art professors
are
"active
artists," meaning that
they are actively involved in making
art, rather th~ someone who simply
theorizes. They sculpt, paint, draw,
design, shoot photographs, lecture
and exhibit-all sharing a common
adoration for guiding the youth.
Why do such successes spend their
extra hours at Marist rather than in
a studio making art? Simple. For
these professionals such "extra hours"
are not merely a tedious day job, they
are integral pieces of the interest and
satisfaction that art brings.
'The studio
is
the place to be. How-
ever, while in the studio you only ever
hear one voice. The voice inside your
head. And let's be honest: everyone
wants to do something of merit.
So we
teach. That way we can deal with
greatness and do something good-
hopefully we are good at both," Smith
said. The ability to nurture and guide
young artists
is
more than enough of a
reward.
Interest in the exhibit
is
rapidly
growing, with records showing 1000
visitors in 2013, 800 in 2012 and 700
in 2011. Smith attributes this success
to Marist as a whole, and the higher
level of excellence the school demands.
In addition to the current exhibit,
throughout the year, the Steel Plant
hosts a number of regional artists and
their works in addition to a student
showcase in the spring.
Upon encouraging his basic drawing
students to attend the event, Smith
entreated,
"How
many times do you
get the chance to be a young educated
person? Once. You may be one of us, a
'lifer,' and you may not be, but you
will
be a person."

The art department employs eight

to a number of adjwict professors.

Moore shares unique sum.m.er Fulbright experience
By MICHELLE COSTELLO
Editor-in-Chief
This past summer, junior Caylin
Moore made Marist history when
he became the college's first under-
graduate to be awarded the presti-
gious US-UK Fulbright Summer
Institutes scholarship. Moore was
one of just nine American students
chosen to study at the University of
Bristol in Wales from May 30 to
June
5.
Moore, who is also a quarterback
on the football team and an eco-
nomics major, found out about the
Fulbright scholarship opportunity
through an email. For the US-UK
Fulbright Summer Institutes pro-
gram, applicants can choose from
nine different colleges in the UK to
apply, each with its own theme of
study for the summer. Moore chose
to apply to the University of Bristol
program, where the theme was
"Slavery and the Atlantic Heritage."
Moore interviewed over the phone
for the scholarship, and originally
did not have high hopes.
"I felt like I blew it after the in-
terview," Moore said, even going so
far as to throw his application away
and make peace with the fact that
he wouldn't be receiving the schol-
arship.
His phone interview was strategi-
cally held in the chapel, so he re-
calls praying afterwards to clear his
mind.
To his surprise, shortly after, he
received an email from Valerie
Shreiner from the Fulbright Insti-
tute, congratulating him on being
chosen to study at the University of
Bristol for the summer.
Immediately after reading the
email, Moore happened to run into
Pat Taylor on his way out of Don-
nelly Hall. He remembers giving
her a hug
·
and showing her the
email on his phone. He also called
his mom, who cried upon hearing
the news.
The application was due this past
February, and he worked on it with
Pat Taylor, Marist's graduate
school and fellowship advisor.
Moore had to complete two essays,
community service statements and
provide letters of recommendation
in addition to the general applica-
tion.
Moore, who is from south Los An-
geles, didn't always dream of being
a Fulbright scholar.
"If
you would have told me
3
years
ago I would be studying in the UK,
I would have
·
laughed at you,"
Moore said.

Moore explores
Wales
with
the
US-UK Fulbright Summer Institutes program.
At
the end of the spring, Moore re-
ceived an email that Fulbright was
interested in interviewing him after
reviewing his application. Moore
viewed this in itself as an accom-
plishment, since most students
don't even make it to this stage of
the process.
Moore says that college wasn't
even supposed to be in his original
plan; he says that achieving a 3.8
GPA his first semester was better
than he ever performed in high
school. Upon coming to college,
something '1ust clicked."
When Moore arrived at the Uni-
versity of Bristol, he and the other
American students lived in the
dorms with the other British stu-
dents.
"We stayed in a place that looked
like Hogwarts," he recalled.
Despite being in another country
across the ocean, Moore surpris-
ingly didn't experience much cul-
ture shock. Coming from California,
Moore experiences some culture
shock even coming to college on the
East Coast. When he arrived in
Wales, Moore said he was able to
accept the differences of living in a
new country and learn from them.
Moore feels that his studies at the
-
University of Bristol, overall,
helped him to gain more perspective
on himself as an African-American
male. He believes that studying the
trans-Atlantic slave trade in a dif-
ferent country allowed him to learn
things not normally taught in
American schools, like the system-
atic oppression of minorities in the
United States.
"In another country you can see
things differently," Moore said.
''You can see more unfairness."
He completed a dissertation about
continuity in the post-emancipation
society at the end of the Fulbright
program. In addition to the objec-
tive knowledge he gained from his
studies, the program also allowed
Moore to learn more about himself
and his own capabilities.
He remembers that some of the
other program members seemed to
have applied to study at the univer-
sity "to come back with pictures or
souvenirs," but Moore had more
practical motivations.
"I went there to come back with

"One thing I learned is to question
everything; why things are the way
they are," he added, including
learning to understand why certain
places are wealthy or poor, or dan-
gerous or safe through examining
the immense amount of wealth
present
in
Wales.
Among
his
favorite memories from
his time
in
the UK were an archeo-
logical dig at a Viking warrior bur-
ial ground, visiting the Roman
baths in the city of Bath and being
invited to the University of Bristol
ball.
When he returned home to the
West Coast, Moore was appeared on
television
in
L.A. two times. He
also was invited to speak at the city
halls in L.A. and Carson, a neigh-
boring city about the Fulbright pro-
gram.
Now that Moore has completed
the US-UK Summer Institutes pro-
gram, he hopes to continue his pres-
tigious studies. He hopes to go to
graduate school after Marist, at ei-
ther Harvard, Cambridge or Ox-
ford.
He is also thinking about
applying for Fulbright, Rhodes or
Truman scholarships for his post-
graduation studies.
·
Moore is very thankful for the op-
portunity he had through Fulbright
at the University of Bristol. The
program offered him a greater per-
spective on what someone is capa-
ble of, something he said people
who come from his situation never
get.
"It shows what you could do with
faith and hard work," Moore said.
"I want to thank God for this op-
portunity," he said. "It's so rare, not
many people get to do something
like that."

Soylent: student tries new liquid food-substitute
By SHANNON BALES
Features Editor
"What
if you never had to worry
about food again?"
The innovators of a new and un-
usual food-substitute craze
"Soy-
lent" believe that one drink could
provide all of the nutrients needed
to sustain the human body.
As it is defined by its official
website,
"Soylent
is a food product
(classified as a food, not a supple-
ment, by the FDA) designed for
use as a staple meal by all adults."
Originally developed and tested
by a group of busy, budget-con-
scious entrepreneurs in San Fran-
cisco, Soylent is a combination of
powdered ingredients, water and
oil that replaces all of the nutri-
ents normally derived from a per-
sons daily food intake with less
empty calories. Soylent's webpage
guarantees: "Each serving of Soy-
lent provides maximum nutrition
with minimum effort."
"Food was such a large burden,"
Soylent founder and tech engineer
Rob Rhinehart told Lizzie Widdi-
combe of the New Yorker.
"It
was
also the time and the hassle. We
had a very small kitchen, and no
dishwasher."
The name "Soylent" is a refer-
ence to
Harry
Harrison's 1966 sci-
ence fiction novel "Make Room!
Make Room!" which was adapted
in the 1973 film "Soylent Green."
The movie tells a tale of a
dystopian future marked by pollu-
tion and overpopulation. Through-
out the
film,
society subsists on
wafers called Soylent Green -
only to discover in the end that the
wafers are made of people.
Although Rhinehart's Soylent
.
isn't made of people, the site states
that "it is inspired by the idea that
we must have an eye toward sus-
tainable food sources as the
world's population growth increas-
ingly taxes our resources."
Headquartered in Los Angeles
with production facilities in Cali-
fornia and Colorado, Soylent ini-
tially appealed to the trending
''life-hack"
culture of.the Silicon
Valley. However, since the advent
of this affordable and efficient sub-
stance, people have been tweaking
the readily-available recipe in a
global online community. D.I.Y.
Soylent drinkers altered the origi-
nal recipe to suit their dietary re-
strictions, lifestyles and body
types. The personalized recipes go
by names like ''People Chow," "Liq-
uid Cake," "Crude Food" and
"Schmoylent".
"I've been drinking People Chow
for about a week now," said Marist
senior Garrett O'Reilly. "I defi-
nitely feel a lot healthier than I
used to and I don't have to spend
nearly as much time or money as I
used to just on food."
He believes that Soylent offers
an opportunity to save time and
money for those who struggle to
buy health foods on a minimum
wage budget.
''The shopping for, preparation
of, and cleaning up after food does
not outweigh the joy of eating for
me," he explains. As a self-pro-
claimed picky eater, O'Reilly found
that he was struggling to find in-
expensive, healthy foods that he
actually enjoyed before he started
drinking People Chow.
For O'Reilly the beginning of the
transition to an all-liquid diet was
about trial and error. With a daily
dosage of People Chow split be-
tween two Nalgene bottles, the liq-
uid's consistency was gritty- "it
was really thick, almost like a bot-
tle of sand and water." He let some
curious coworkers try cups of the
beige liquid in the beginning when
he was still tweaking the mixture
for grittiness and they had simi-
larly negative responses. O'Reilly
decided to experiment instead,
with roughly half the amount of
powder mix in each bottle of liquid,
substituting in a real meal -
which he has started referring to
as ''Muggle food" -
to make up for
the rest of the day's calories.
"I'm glad I thought to try adding
more water, because if I hadn't, I
probably would have given up on
it," he said.
O'Reilly plans on trying origina-
.
tor Rhinehart's recipe in the near
future.
''I'm eager to get my shipment of
the official Soylent so I don't have
to mix up the powder myself," he
says,
''I
think paying a little more
will be worth that convenience."
The wait for a supply of official
Soylent can be up to 10 to 12
weeks as the company tries to han-
dle the influx of orders related to
the general media buzz on the
topic. The company accepts all
major credit cards as a form of
payment for the stark white

pouches of Soylent powder and

New Soylent drinkers can choose
to make a one-time order while
continuing fans enjoy the ease of a
monthly subscription.
However, it can be difficult to
maintain the Soylent lifestyle
without the support of fellow en-
thusiasts.
"I
miss the sensation of eating
something solid," said O'Reilly.
"I've heard this is a feeling that
takes getting used to."
He relies on the suggestions of
D.I.Y. Soylent forums for ways to
deal with these cravings.
''I've also heard some people use
People Chow to make pancakes,"
he said. ''While that idea see!Jls
counterintuitive to the idea of Peo-
ple Chow and Soylent, it's some-
thing I plan to try at some point."
On the opposite end of the spec-
trum, students who eat solid food
at the Ricketts House dorm at Cal-
ifornia Institute of Technology feel
left out as the majority share D.I.Y
Soylent recipes at social outings .
These busy engineering and
physics majors find that the bland
goo suits their heavy workload.
As for the future, Rhinehart told
the New Yorker that he believes
that, "we'll see a separation be-
tween our meals for utility and
function, and our meals for experi-
ence and socialization."
O'Reilly says that he still enjoys
one solid meal a day, and an occa-
sional "real dinner'' at night with
his girlfriend.

Couchsurfing: The new way
to
travel cheap
By
JULIANA PERCIAVAUE
Circle Contributor
Travel is expensive enough that
it is nearly inaccessible to most
Americans. International flights
can put a dent in your bank ac-
count and studying abroad even
for a short-term program, can put
a hole in your wallet
if
you don't
budget properly. Even hostels can
be overly plush and expensive and
the cheap ones are often loud and
unkempt.
Americans value their privacy
more than most. Perhaps because
of that, websites such as Couch-
surfing, Airbnb and W armshowers
are just starting
to
become main-
stream even though Couchsurfing
has been around since 1999. Ac-
cording
to
their website, there are
5.5 million "couchsurfers" world-
wide.
Couchsurfing and W armshowers
are essentially free services, al-
though you do not have
to
pay to
book rooms, it is implicitly ex-
pected that you bring something
for your host. Warmshowers
is
mostly geared towards bikers.
The idea of sleeping on a
stranger's couch probably doesn't
seem appealing to a majority of
people, especially those who like
their hotel comforts. But as an in-
creasing number of people who
travel do so with a tight budget,
they have begun to turn to these
networks for a place to stay. These
websites are also advantageous to
those who are under 21 or don't
have a credit card to book a hotel
room.
Peter Neiger, who has biked
from Washington, D.C. to Los An-
geles and from Los Angeles to Mis-
soula, Mont. with his partner and
a friend, has nothing but positive
things to say about his experiences
with Airbnb and Warmshowers.
"We had nothing but great
couchsurfing experiences but a
couple stand out.
In
Santa Rosa we
stayed with a guy named Trevor
who was an amateur beer brewer,"
said Neiger. "In Arcata we stayed
with a few girls for a couple days
and hung out with them and went
to the Kinetic Sculpture Race."
"In
Spokane we stayed with two
college students; They were just
really fun to hang out with and
they took us to a bunch of brew-
eries," Neiger continued.
"Couchsurfing is a really good
way to see cities because locals
know better places than you
will
find just searching online or going
to tourist traps."
These services are not just for
people in their twenties either.
Kelly Kidwell, a student at Tulane
University in New Orleans, said
that her parents and sister have
used Airbnb while visiting her.
"The [Airbnb room] they used in
New Orleans during Mardi Gras
was owned by this adorable old
lady and it was super nice.
It
was
cheaper than a hotel room and had
a full kitchen and pull out couch
for my sister." They had similarly
positive experiences in Romania
and New York City.
Of course these room-sharing
services aren't without their risks.
Google "couchsurfing horror sto-
ries" and you'll be treated to a
plethora of stories about travelers,
mostly women, encountering
creepy hosts. Unfortunately, it is
necf ::;sary to remain vigilant and
take precautionary measures
while traveling regardless of
where you decide to sleep. These
Web services do, however, attempt
to
mitigate risk with a system of
ratings for both hosts and guests.
''There are so many built-in mar-
ket mechanisms that rule out
sketchy people and incentivize
hosts to maintain good reputa-
tions," said Kelly Barber, who has
participated in home exchanges in
Germany, Florida and Louisiana.
Because of this, Barber said she
has never felt unsafe using these
services.
Santana Whatley, a student at
Jones County Junior College in
Mississippi, confirms this.
On a trip to New York City, she
and a female friend stayed at an
apartment in Harlem found
through Airbnb.
''We left our stuff out in the open
and everything," she said. "Also, I
think it's safer than hostels, which
seem to be socially accepted, at
least among young people." She
also recalls the hostels in New
York having too many rules, like
not being able to check in after
11:00 p.m. and only being allowed
a small bag.
So, will couchsurfing replace ho-
tels in the near future? Probably
not, since not many people's
houses can accommodate travel
groups and special events. Addi-
tionally the idea of sleeping on a
stranger's couch is still"uncomfort-
able for many. However, it is defi-
nitely worth a try for your next
trip.
Couchsurflng not only saves money, but helps foster new friendships.
How to avoid gaining the "Freshman
15"
By
ELIZABETH
HEHIR
Circle Contributor
The first few weeks of college are
a haze of Friday nights and gather-
ing with friends on Saturday morn-
ings over French toast sticks.
Actually, that's most of freshman
year and it's awesome until it's been
a month and you don't know what
the inside of McCann looks like.
The "Freshman 15"
is
a reality for so
many college freshmen who have no
choice but to eat dining hall food,
but it doesn't have to be. By being
aware of what you're eating and
maintaining a decent workout regi-
men, you can avoid gaining weight
and maybe even lose a few pounds.
The best way to stick to a fitness
goal is to do it with a group. Fortu-
nately for all freshmen, you're al-
ways surrounded by 1,000 others
who are also trying to stave off the
pounds. If you and a couple of your
closest friends decide to hit the gym
together a few times a week, you're
more likely to go than
if
you planned
to go alone. There's more motivation
to trek to McCann
if
you're not
alone.
If
even your friends can't get you to
the gym, try signing up for fitness
classes that you risk failing if you
don't attend. While you've already
missed out on fall semester classes,
plan on attempting to get into a one
credit class, like boxing or yoga, for
your second semester. There are
also plenty of intramural teams,
from basketball and Zumba to bad-
minton and volleyball, that you can
sign up for.
By the time it gets to winter and
the wind is blowing off the Hudson
and freezing you straight through to
your spine, the number of people at
McCann will drop drastically. If you
can't bring yourself
to
go out in the
snow, get a few friends together in
someone's dorm room and search
YouTube for some exercise videos.
Turn on Jillian Michaels or a 40
minute yoga tutorial, anything is
better than nothing and it's fun
when you're with your friends.
If
all
else fails, never underestimate an
abs circuit and some old-fashioned
pushups before dinner.
A benefit of being an upperclass-
man is having your own kitchen and
being able to decide what you will
cook on a day-to-day basis. Unfortu-
nately, freshmen don't have this lux-
ury yet and they are subjected to
whatever Sodexo serves. Before
grabbing pizza for the third time in
a week, take another walk around
the dining hall and check for health-
ier options. Designate a day in
which you
will
have salad instead of
loading up on calories.
If
possible,
don't walk near the dessert trays or
risk succumbing
to
pound cake and
cookies. If you have a sweet tooth,
make dessert your reward and not
an everyday event. Only have
dessert on cupcake Tuesday, or
promise yourself ice cream only on
your hardest class day, but don't pile
on the dessert seven days a week.
Worse than swiping cookies from
the dessert stand every day is Pleas-
ant Ridge at 2 a.m. four times a
week. Yes, their chicken bacon
ranch pizza is delicious, but
if
this
becomes your lifestyle you11 quickly
notice changes that you don't neces-
sarily like. The occasional P-Ridge is
acceptable (it's a Marist tradition),
but. make sure pizza isn't your main
source of food.
Unfortunately, even
if
you think
you're grabbing a healthy option in
the dining hall you might not be.
That is the reality of dining hall
food. The solution is downloading
the My Fitness Pal app and logging
your calories and exercise so that
you
'
re aware of how much fuel your
body actually needs and what is ex-
cess. This app allows you to track
your weight and body measure-
ments while giving you set numbers
of how much food you need. You'll
also realize that a serving size of
French toast sticks is five, not
twelve. Most Sodexo foods are on My
Fitness Pal, so it's easy to log your
foods on a daily basis. Make it part
of your routine so you TI stick with it.
Nobody wants to leave their dorm
in May and be 15 (or more) pounds
heavier than when they arrived in
August. Unfortunately, this is the
reality for many freshmen. If you
and your group of friends are res-
olute in your fitness goals, you can
be part of the freshman class that
loses weight instead of finding it.
The trick is attempting to eat
healthy whenever possible and not
be fooled into thinking that walking
to Fontaine on Mondays and
Wednesdays counts as your exercise
for the week.

The per ks of
buying
homemade
By
NICOLE BURGAGNI
Circle Contributor
In today's society, con-
sumers have plenty of choices
when it comes to shopping.
They choose where to shop,
what to buy and how much to
spend. With the rise of tech-
nology over the past decade,
retailers have made it even
easier for shoppers to stay on
trend with just the click of a
button. As online shopping
continues to gain momentum,
people around the world have
connected with others and
seen what else they can buy
outside of their local malls. In-
stead of buying
·
the same
cookie-cutter
manufactured
items, men and women have
been looking for new ways to
shop for unique pieces that
will set them apart.
Websites like Etsy, Artfire-
and Da Wanda have taken on-
line shopping to another level
by offering their customers
products that are personalized
and homemade. These trendy
websites mix old traditions of
handcrafting with the new
technology of online shopping,
providing shoppers with dis-
tinctive goods that cannot be
found in chain stores.
Etsy, along with other online
retailers, has just about any-
thing and everything a shop-
per could want, from vintage
clothing and jewelry to en-
graved gadgets and gizmos.
These websites provide a
space for crafty people and
small business owners alike to
sell their products to people
across the world without hav-
ing to open a single store. Ven-
dors are able to display all of
their product offerings using
various styles, making shop-
ping easier for the consumer.
Most items on these websites
are made to order and do not
go through mass production,
ensuring customers receive
unique gifts and products.
Several months ago I de-
cided to check out these web-
sites to see what all the rage
was about. I had been looking
for a gift for my brother and
his new fiancee for their en-
gagement party, but I kept
finding the same engraved pic-
ture frame over and over
again. I took my search online
and stumbled upon Etsy.
The website was profession-
ally laid out and had a search
bar on the top of the page to
help me get started. I punched
in "engagement gifts" and over
250 pages appeared with tons
of custom-made items and
knick-knacks. My search was
finally over. I was able to de-
sign and plan out my own gift,
which would be handcrafted
and sent to my house within
three weeks. Pleased with my
purchase, I decided to go back
and look for items that I nor-
mally would get in the mall.
Since then, I have bought nu-
merous pieces of jewelry,
phone cases and personalized
items for my dorm room.
Next time you are searching
for a remarkable gift or even
want to try selling your own
products, check out homemade
online retailers like Etsy.
Homemade
goods
and crafts can make great and unique
gifts
for any occasion.
Culture Corner: A surreal Switzerland
By
KATHRYN SCHMALZ
Circke Contributor
Travel is a topic very near and
dear to my heart.
I recently
spent a year abroad in the en-
chanting city of Florence, Italy.
There, I had the incredible op-
portunity to not just explore the
culture of Italy, but the cultures
of nearly 17 other countries in
and around Europe.
Nearly
every city took my breath away
with its own individual charms
and nuances. However, I must
admit that, I left my heart in the
amazing, breathtaking beauty
known as Switzerland.
I can clearly remember drag-
ging myself off of the stuffy bus
at 4 a.m. after an eight hour
drive.
I took in a long, deep
breath of the crisp, clean air.
The air seemed to have been un-
touched by any human exposure,
pollution or otherwise for quite
some time.
After a quick nap, I was eager
to see what Switzerland had in
store for me. A group of other
students and I walked along the
quaint streets of Interlaken
where a single car or bus seemed
to pass once every 20 minutes.
It
was hard not to take in the in-
credible views of the soaring Alps
that surrounded us like sky-
scrapers in New York City. The
cottage-like buildings below were
dwarfed by the sheer magnitude
of these mountains.
As we
walked, they only seemed to get

The Swiss Alps will definitely not disapppol

t on a weekend getaway.
more magnificent.
It wasn't
until I reached the top of the ski
slope that I noticed how amazing
their power truly was.
In the interest of full disclo-
sure, the only reason I chose to
visit Switzerland was for the
chance to tell my friends and
family that I skiied down the
Swiss Alps. Therefore, I made it
my first priority to find the clos-
est ski shop.
However, I realized this was
not my average ski slope when I
listened to the directions needed
just to reach my starting point. I
was required to lug myself, ski
boots and skis on a bus, train,
gondola, another train and fi-
nally up the ski lift, in that
order.
So, as many of you can expect,
it was a huge relief when I
reached the top of the slope. Yet,
when I reached the peak, the
simple pride that was soon to be
gained from my downhill trek
was replaced with the pure joy to
be where I was. I was no longer
simply surrounded by the beauti-
ful Alps as I was in the town, but
I was now standing among them.
I was on top of the world where
no one could touch me. Every
fear, hesitation or worry that
was in my head at that moment
had vanished. The only thing I
could think to do was savor that
moment.
Yet, no matter how
long I stood there for, it was
never long enough. There are re-
ally no words to describe the
beauty that I encountered.
As I mentioned, I traveled to
many countries before and after
that moment, yet I still find it
hard to compare standing at the
top of the Swiss Alps with any
other view. But, it would have to
be the lake which was found
nearly by accident.
On the last day I spent in
Switzerland, my friend and I de-
cided to explore further.
We
hopped on a city bus which
curved along the winding roads,
passing streams, small towns
and cobblestone streets. Finally,
through a line of trees, we
glimpsed a lake.
Quickly escaping the confines
of the vehicle, we ran to the
water's edge.
There was the
beautiful view of a lake with
water so blue it could blend in
with the sky; surrounded by none
other than the Swiss Alps. The
mountain peaks were beginning
to thaw out and the greenery was
beginning to show.
The sight
once again took my breath away.
I was now starting to realize
that I could expect nothing less
from this amazing country. Al-
though, the chocolate was deli-
cious and the people were
incredibly nice, it was the view
that increased my desire to ex-
plore Switzerland again.
So, in short, for any nature-
lover or anyone who is just trying
to find the best view in the world,
I suggest Switzerland.
It
will not
disappoint.

Derek Jeter: A legacy of greatness
By
ADRIANA BELMONTE
Circle Contributor
When you
think
of
Derek Jeter, what
oomes to mind? Yankees
fans
might say
the captain. Fans of other teruns
will
probably think classy. Keith Olber-
mann,
on the other hand, would proba-
bly say "overrated," but let's not get into
that. Most people have an idea of who
Jeter
is
and the impact that he
has
had
on the game of baseball. Since
his
debut
in 1995, he
has
been a model of consis-
tency, excellence, and ability. He was
named to the All-St.ar team
14
different
times
and won five World Series Rings,
five Silver Slugger Awards, five Gold
GloveAwards,
two
Hank.AaronAwards
and a Roberto Clemente Award. On top
of all of that, Jeter was the captain of
baseball's most
infamous
team:
the New
York Yankees.
Many
fans
feel that Jeter
is
overrated,
but they are wrong. He retired with over
3,400
hits
and over 1,300
runs
batted
in.
In the postseason, Jeter ranks first in
games played, at bats, plate appear-
ances,
runs
tn>red,
hits, total
bases,
dou-
bles, triples and singles. What
is
even
more important to note
is
that he ac-
oomplished all of this while playing
without the use of performance en-
hancement
drugs.
While some records are
tainted
be-
cause of players like Manny Ramirez
and Alex Rodriguez, Jeter's records
stand cleanly and proudly. It
is
because
of
bis
solid
character
that Jeter
has
be-
oome an incredible role model over the
past
20 years. Little kids look up Jeter
and see a player who
has
never
tested
positive for any
drugs,
who has never
been ejected from any minor or major
league baseball game, and who
has
re-
spect from players in not only baseball
but all other professional sports leagues
as well. Just take a look at Michael Jor-
dan's
RE2PECT
commercial.
This
season
has
been
known
as
Jeter's
farewell tour and while it
is
under-
standable that many have
grown
sick
of
ti.on.
There are not many other players
out there that have such universal re-
spect. Not many other players have
done what Jeter
bas.
Jeter captured the hearts of
fans
not
only with his everyday play and work
ethic, but
also
by showing his true tal-
ent on the baseball diamond. There was

hearing his name everywhere, they
need to understand why it
is
happening.
At
first,
I even began to
grow
wary
of
the
media talking about
him
nonstop this
year, especially at the All-Star Game.
But then, I watched Jeter take the field
and I watched
him
bat. I saw how he in-
teracted with his teammates. I saw the
respect both his tearomat.es and his op-
ponents had for
him.
It was then that I
realized
that Jeter deserves this atten-
The Flip, The
Mr.
November homerun
and The Dive, among many others.
When the Yankees needed someone to
oome through for them in the
regular
season or post.season, Derek Jeter al-
ways answered the
call.
That
is
why he
was the captain; he was their leader
both
on the field and in the clubhouse.
On Thursday, Sept. 25, Jeter stepped
on
to
the
field at Yankee Stadium for the
final
time in his career and what did he
do in his last at bat? He got the game-
winning
hit.
As
Mariano Rivera said in

Jeter stepped onto the field 20 years ago,
his illustrious career
has
been
drafted

The
kid who grew up
wanting to play for the Yankees ends up
becoming one of the greatest players
ever.
His
3,000th
hit was a homerun.
His
last
hit at Yankee Stadium was a hit
to right field that won the game.
His
final
game ever was against his team's
biggest rival, the Boston Red Sox, at
Fenway Park. He exited to a standing
ovation after getting a hit in his
last
at-
bat.
At his last game on Sunday, the Red
Sox honored
him
with a
classy
pregame
ceremony. The festivities featured not
only former Red
Sox
captains Carl Yas-
trz.emski,
Fred
Lynn
and
Riro
Petrocelli,
but
also
former captains from other
Boston
teams:
Bobby
Orr,
Troy Brown
and Paul Pierce. Arguably though, the
highlight of the ceremony was an ap-
pearance
by Pete Frates, the young man
that inspired the AU,

player like
Derek
Jeter was able to bring
two teams together, despite their fierce
rivalry.

I sat in front of my television on

Derek Jeter, I realized that

Yes, no, maybe so? Scots choose to stay with
U .K.
By MATTHEW MAGGIO
Circle Contributor
Scottish nationalists went home
disappointed on Thursday, Sept.
18 after the failure of the referen-
dum vote that asked the question,
should Scotland become an inde-
pendent country? The vote for
"No" led the majority with 55.3
percent leaving 44. 7 percent of the
population unhappy with the cur-
rent political situation in the
United
·
Kingdom. However, the
question remains, why have a ref-
erendum at all?
The creation of a united England
and Scotland dates back to 1707
when the two crowns of Scotland
and England both rested on the
head of Queen Elizabeth
I. It
was
under her rule that the parlia-
ments of Scotland and England
hammered out the Acts of Union
in 1 707 which created Great
Britain. This union would prove to
be one of the most successful
unions of all time. Together,
·these
countries were able to create a
colonial empire that spanned the
seven seas, and defeated the
armies of Napoleon (and half of
Europe). They held their island by
land, air and sea against the Fas-
cist war machine that crushed
other nations in its path.

Recently, Scots have been calling
for "devolution," the transfer of
local power to Scottish Parliament
members that legislates at a lower
level than the Parliament at West-
minster. Debate has forestalled
any recent bills from passi~g in
the past, causing many Scots to
believe they are not being repre-
sented properly.
One of the most important les-
sons to take from this event is the
implication of successfully divid-
ing a nation. Many other inde-
pendence movements are now on
hold for fear of failure. Catalonia,
a territory of Spain, has recently
been making great strides in sup-
port of independence, creating
fears of yet another possible di-
vide. If nations choose to divide
themselves for short-term gain,
Europe will grow weaker econom-
ically and politically.
Smaller governments will need
to work with fewer resources and
weaker currencies. Smaller mili-
taries will require the interna-
tional community to defend their
freedom if they are ever threat-
ened.
It
is important to remember
that we live in times when we
need to work together to build and
protect a better tomorrow rather
than fall apart to satisfy short-
term gain.
Doe
S
nail polish really prevent date rape?
By
MALLIKA RAO
Circle Contributor
The statistics are no joke. The
White House recently issued a re-
port saying that 1 in 5 female stu-
dents on college campuses is
sexually assaulted or harassed
during her time as a student.
Many of those women are sur-
vivors of sexual abuse while under
the influence of a toxic substance.
As a female student, these sta-
tistics shock me. What is particu-
larly alarming are the biased
opinions toward the issue that fail
to realize the situation is severe;
most of which are politically moti-
vated. You can easily hear argu-
ments from right-wing pundits
such, as those of Glenn Beck, that
dismissively label the college at-
mosphere as a "hookup culture,"
while those on the left refrain from
using such baseless terms and
work actively to encourage colleges
to take action. Essentially, the for-
mer side seems to not actively
solve the problem by retreating to
the archaic idea of always blaming
the woman.
Adding fuel to the fire is a con-
troversial new product created by
four North Carolina State Univer-
sity undergrads to combat rape on
college campuses. Ankesh Madan,
Stephen Grey, Tasso Von Wind-
heim and Tyler Confrey-Maloney
believe that nail polish will help
women defend themselves in the
face of rape. While well-intended, I
find the idea to be rather ludicrous
and don't believe in its long-term
purpose. It certainly does not help
that the "creators" behind this
product are males.
How the nail polish works is ap-
parently as a litmus test of sorts,
intended to detect the date rape
dents.
drugs found in spiked drinks with
a change of color. You put your fin-
ger inside the drink, and see what
happens. Aside from sounding
rather unhygienic, this idea does
not exactly allow women to take
back control of their bodies.
I cannot believe that men are
making
decisions
regarding
women's bodies and sexuality,
even outside of the political land-
scape. Feminist bloggers have
come out on the offense about this
issue like trench warfare soldiers
in World War
I.
Now, I do not
claim to be a feminist by any
means, but I understand their con-
cern. The societal tendency to vie-
timize the fem ale seems to
trivialize the truly heinous crime
that is sexual assault.
If
use of this nail polish were to
go viral across college campuses,
girls who refuse to buy the product
will potentially be viewed as cow-
ards and the "blame the victim"
mentality will only spread further,
this time amongst fellow female
students. It is about time that we
change the conversation of sexual
assault to focus on the male stu-
dents and how to educate them to
treat women better, something
that I personally always believed
was common sense.
Tracey Vitchers, the chair of the
board for Students Active For End-
ing Rape (SAFER), clearly agrees.
On a post for ThinkProgress.org,
she posed the following question,
"Are you talking to young men
about the importance of respecting
other people's boundaries and un-
derstanding what it means to ob-
tain consent?"
Additionally, in an article for
Salon Magazine, Jenny Kutner
asks, "Is this really a market we
should continue to applaud entre-
preneurs' (notably male ones) tap-
ping
into?
Or
might
these
resources be better allocated try-
ing to teach people not to rape?"
Lastly, intoxication is not the
only cause of sexual assault. Peo-
ple need to be mindful of the fact
that a nail polish thought to pre-
vent date rape will not prevent
sexual assault. We need to educate
men on how to treat woman prop-
erly,
something
that
seems
straightforward yet is somehow
difficult given the shocking statis-
tics. Women also need to learn to
defend themselves in this increas-
ingly fearsome world.

Fall concert review: All Time Low rocks Marist College
By
DANIEL ABRAMSON
Circle Contributor
Marist College's big concert of the
semester occurred on Thursqay,
Sept. 25. This year, Marist's Stu-
dent Programming Council did not
disappoint in bringing a big name to
campus. The pop-punk band, All
Time Low, performed for a large
crowd in the McCann Arena that
night, and it was quite an event to
remember.
The band has been around since
2003, having formed while still in
high school in Towson, Md. Since
their formation, All Time Low has
released five studio albums, five ex-
tended plays and eighteen music
videos. Two of their albums have
been at the top of Billboard's list of
rock albums.
An up and coming band named
Brick

combining indie rock, drums and

bass and pop to make a unique
sound. The duo of guitarist Bran-
don Asraf and drummer John Tacon
worked to create an interesting mix
of genres, convened in their entire
set list. As for the headliner, All
Time Low enthralled fans by play-
ing a collection of their hits, such as
"Dear Maria, Count Me In,"
"Damned
If
I Do (Damned If I
Don't)" and "Weightless." The
crowd cheered and screamed for the
band throughout the show with fists
in the air.
There were more than 500 people
at the concert and they did not leave
disappointed. Leader singer and
rhythm guitarist Alex Gaskarth,
lead guitarist Jack Barakat, bassist
Zack Merrick and drummer Rian
Dawson put on an impressive show
filled with energy and enthusiasm.
The band had not performed a show
in about two months, but that did
not stop them from having fun with
the audience and playing their
hearts out.
It
was evident how many of All
Time Low's fans were at the concert.
While Gaskarth and Barakat made
conversation, jokes and sexual in-
nuendos, the crowd had a largely
positive response.
It
seemed that
the majority of the audience was
fe-
male, yet there were surely some
male fans of the band as well.
All Time Low even announced
that they were working on another
album and that they are going on
tour in the United Kingdom. They
have not released any music in over
a year and have not released an
album in two years, so this is big
news for fans.
Overall, Marist definitely chose a
good act to come to campus. I can-
not wait to see who will be headlin-
ing this spring.
"Death

Taxes" offers Family Weekend entertainment

is
a member of MCCTA.
This past family weekend, the
Marist College Club of Theatre
Arts (MCCTA) and the Office of
Student Affairs worked together to
present the dinner theatre produc-
tion of "Death
&
Taxes."
Boasting two sold-out perform-
ances, "Death
&
Taxes" tells the
story of Granville Powell (portrayed
by freshman, Dan Ahl) and his an-
nouncment bid for the White House.
What starts out as a lighthearted
night with potential sponsors (the
crowd themselves) turns sinister
when Powell is murdered. Police in-
spector Mack (portrayed by senior
Brianne Kai), must then determine
who of the five suspects committed
the heinous act.
Despite the severity of the situa-
tion, the cast still manages to pro-
vide plenty of laughs along the way.
Raquel Medina, in particular, deliv-
ered many of the chuckles as the ec-
centric old woman, Pearl Powell.
Also among the cast was Evan
Brucia as the calculating Nick
Spencer, Conor Bergstorm as the
smooth-talking Jasper Kipperling,
Gabriela Morris as the flirtatious
Track Kipperling and Jessie McFee
as the soft spoken Clarissa Powell.
"The shows went great," said cast
member and junior, Evan Brucia.
''The audience really warmed up to
us quickly and it was exciting get-
ting to interact with them. It's
something I've never been able to do
as an actor before." The actors' en-
thusiasm seems to have been
shared by the audience as well.
"Although it was small-scale, the
overall production was well put to-
gether.
It
was a fun hour of the-
atre," said Zach Russo, a junior.
With all of the talent onstage, it's
easy to forget how much time and
effort it takes behind the scenes to
make
a
show
great.
Emily
Crescitelli, a senior, acted as the
production manager for "Death and
Taxes." As such, it was her respon-
sibility to make sure everyone in-
volved in the event was on the same
page.
''With an event like dinner the-
atre, there is a lot more that needs
to happen than people realize," ex-
plains Crescitelli.
Indeed, she is considered to be the
liaison between everybody, includ-
ing the Office of Student Affairs and
Sodexo.
''We have to make sure parents fill
the seats, that dinner and timing is
organized, and that the show is
ready to wow the audience,"
Crescitelli added.
And not to be forgotten, of course,
is the director. Tara Higgins, also
the president of MCCTA, was in
charge of pulling this show together
for family weekend in a matter of
weeks.
"Death
&
Taxes" will be remem-
bered as a successful installment in
the family weekend dinner theatre
tradition.
Nick Santino brings original s

By
DANIEL

Circle Contributor
Marist has brought many singer-
songwriters to campus for their
Coffeehouse events. Nick Santino
might have been their most tal-
ented musician so far.
Santino was formerly the lead vo-
calist and rhythm guitarist for A
Rocket to the Moon, which was a
rock band signed to Fueled By
Ramen. He enjoyed success with
the band, as both their albums "On
Your Side" (2009) and ''Wild
&
Free" (2012) charted on both the
US Rock charts and Billboard Top
200. The latter also charted on the
US Alternative charts.
Unfortunately after seven years
as a group and three group member
changes, the band broke up. This
left Santino to perform solo and
he's been.touring ever since.
Marist was one of his many stops.
Santino put on an impressive
show, playing and singing
his
origi-
nal music on guitar. This was his

first show since he performed at the
Vans Warped Tour in August. He
was a little rusty from his time off,
but powered through and show-
cased his impressive vocals and
songwriting abilities. He performed
for about an hour and entertained
the crowd with both
his
music and
stories. People laughed, cheered
and had a good time.
When the show was finished, I
asked him how his band went
from local shows at Braintree,
Mass., to millions of views on
YouTube. He told me how market-
ing on the internet played a big role
and he was actually discovered on
MySpace. He also gained signifi-
cant interest from Pete Wentz of
Fall Out Boy, who had also heard
the music of A Rocket to the Moon.
Overall, Santino put on a show
that enticed his listeners and cre-
ated a new fanbase in the Marist
community. This October Santino
will be going to t~e U.K. to tour
with The Maine. He released his
first full solo album this past May
entitled "Big Skies."
It
performed
rather well, climbing to number
three on the iTunes Singer-Song-
writers chart.

year; the tal~nt brought to campus
will
not disappoint.

The Marist men's tennis team pos-
sesses a championship tradition,
winning 11 MAAC titles in their his-
tory. Last season Marist competed
in the NCAA tournament at the
eighth ranked University of Texas
Longhorns in Austin against the
Longhorns. The team also has not
lost a game in the MAAC in the past
five years, the last loss coming in
April 2009. Since then the Red Foxes
have run the table in the MAAC
compiling a record of 31-0. The rea-
son the team has seen this much suc-
cess is the ability to land good
recruits from all over the world, who
are willing to work hard and come
together as a team.
This
year, the men's team has al-
ready began preparing for the spring
season, participating
in
the Brown
Fall Classic at Providence, Army
Shootout at West Point, Ivy Plus
Tournament at Princet.on and played
a match at the University of Con-
necticut. The team is led by head
coach Tim Smith, assistant coach
Ron Lane, captain Matteo Giudici
and co-captain Joe Dube.

Fletcher defeating Palmer and

from Rudolf Kurz at first singles,
Dube at third singles, Justin Chan-
thalangsy at fifth and Timo Tanzer
at sixth singles.
"It was definitely an exciting match
with three of
our
freshmen really
showing up," according to coach
Smith. "Chanthalangsy won 6-2, 6-1,
Kurz won in a third set tiebreaker,
and then at 3-3 with the final match
on the line, Tanzer dominated the
third set tiebreaker to win the match
for our team. Although our third
doubles team of Giudici and Fletcher
came back and won their match,
our
doubles are still a work in progress."
The team also won all three of its
doubles matches against Farleigh
Dickinson and earned a victory
against MAAC rival Niagara on the
first day of the Army Shootout on
Sept. 19. Marist doubles team Joe

In
the vie-
tory against Hagan, Kurz won the
final sets 6-2 and 10-2, and grinded
out 6-4 and 11-9 set victories against
Chaudhuri.
The goal now for the team moving
forward is to continue to play well in
the MAAC, and bring home another
MAAC title.
"If our freshman play well then we
should have a great shot at another
MAAC title," coach Smith said.
This year the most challenging op-
ponents in the MAAC include Mon-
mouth, Fairfield, Niagara and
Quinnipiac, all of which should be in
contention for the MAAC title. When
asked about the coaching style of
Smith, captain Matteo Giudici
replied, "He shows a great level of
enthusiasm and energy, which defi-
nitely helps fuel our team in practice
and he always thinks about how he
can improve the program."
In
order to reach that goal the team
has a rigorous practice schedule in
place that will prepare them for the
upcoming MAAC schedule. Cur-
rently, the team practices four times
a week for two hours, while in the
winter they focus on both playing
and conditioning to ensure they are
ready for spring. With hard work,
and dedication throughout the fall
and winter, the Red Foxes should be
more than prepared for MAAC play
as they look to win their 12th MAAC
championship.

Men's soccer draws In
New Hampshire
ByOWEN CONDON
Staff Writer
The Red Foxes men's soccer team
took the trip up north on Friday night
to play their last non-conference game
of the season against the University of
New Hampshire Wildcats. Marist
(4-
2-2,
0-0 MAAC) was coming off of
their first bad loss of the season, when
they were taken down by St. Joe's 5-1.
Early on, it looked as
if this game
could
turn
ugly too, as the Wildcats
stormed
down the field and got a shot
off that looked to be heading to the
back of the net. Luckily for Mari.st, the
ball took a loud clang off of the post to
keep the game
scoreless.
Mari.st
marched right back down the pitch
and got a chance of their own, only to
be turned away by New Hampshire
goalie
Travis Worra. After that, the
game was a
stalemate
for the next 20
minutes or so, until New Hampshire
lined up for a corner kick 29 minutes
In.
Until junior Midfielder Jesus Tudela
lined up and placed a beautiful ball
into the box to find midfielder AJ. Al-
bers on a strong header to the back of
the net for a 1-0 Wildcat lead. How-
ever, the Red Foxes would not be de-
terred. They pushed back right away
and three minutes later senior mid-
fielder Matty Berman hit freshman
Brandon Curtis with a pass that Cur-
tis
took and shot right past the keeper
for the equalizer.
Now it was time for the
Red
Foxes
defense to come to the forefront. After
allowing seven shots in the first 30
minutes-four on net-the stubborn
Marist defense allowed only three
shots for the rest of regulation. How-
ever, the Red Foxes had offensive
problems in the second half, as they
were only able to muster up four
shots. Mari.st also had a difficult tin.le
finding good scoring opportunities,
taking one comer in the first half, two
in the second half and zero in over-
time.
But Friday's game was not a story of
the offense, but rather the stingy,
bend-but-don't-break defense of the
Red
Foxes. They were able to hold off
the Wildcats attack for a while, but
when they could not, freshman net-
minder Mark Rajovic stepped up and
put on a show.
New Hampshire came out of the
gate quickly in overtime and started
firing on all cylinders, but Rajovic was
there and made three key stops to
keep the game at a gridlock and give
the Red Foxes a chance. The offense
was unable to get a shot off in the two
overtime periods but the defense
stepped up and earned Marist the
draw. The Wildcats attack was fast
and furious, but the Red Foxes de-
fense was always a step faster.
The Red Foxes next game
will
be on
Wednesday,
Oct.
1, when MAAC foe
Manhattan travels to Poughkeepsie,
opening up conference play. After
that, the team
will head down to Fair-

Marist football drops heartbreaker

With
the first win of the football
season in reach, first time starter
Anthony Francis managed the game
as best he oould for the Red Foxes.
An eventual 36-yard touchdown
with 12 seconds left squashed all
hope for Marist and shed a new ray
of light on conference opponent San
Diego.
The energy was quickly sucked
out of Tenney Stadium after San
Diego quarterback, Keith Williams,
scrambled to bis left on fourth down
to find a widt! open Reggie Bell,
waiting in the end zone to catch the
game-winning touchdown.
''The two defensive ends contained

Williams said after the game. "I
don't really know what happened in
the secondary."
Williams played a pivotal role for
the entire game with multiple pass
deflections and even a defensive
touchdown when he recovered a
forced fumble from teammate, Mike
Kagafas.

Parady replied, "Once Ed gets
healthy we will make a final deci-

next week."
Francis will receive another
chance to earn the first win of
Marist's season next week. The Red
Foxes will travel to Indiana to

a frustrating record of 0-5 for the
