With ATM frustration, administrators stress patience
ByRYAN WONG
Circle Contributor
In recent months, out of order
and cash-depleted ATMs have
been a major source of frustration
for the Marist community. Many
students have complained about
the machines being too often un-
available because of technical is-
sues, or simply because they have
run out of money
to
dispense.
Issues with the ATMs around
campus have seemingly increased
since Marist took over ownership
and operation of the machines in
November 2012.
·
As the demand
for more ATM locations increased,
college administration decided to
take action, resulting in Marist
taking over the operation of all
ATMs on campus. Marist College's
Director of Finance and Budgeting
Jay Pantaleo explained that peti-
tioning the banks for more ma-
chines proved to be difficult and
costly, prompting the college to
take over the maintenance, up-
keep and operation of the ATMs.
"For the amount that we
wanted, they were very difficult to
get," Pantaleo said.
The convenience of owning and
operating its own machines also
came with a key disadvantage for
Marist: actually having to operate
the machines. Before the college
took ownership of the ATMs, the
banks that owned them were re-
sponsible for all aspects of their
maintena
_
nce.
Now,
however,
Marist relies on two separate com-
panies to repair and service the
machines when the need arises.

Since Marist took
over
the operation of on-campus
ATMs, students have been
frustrated with
out-of-order
machines that are out of money to dispense.
Brinks, a secure transportation
and money handling company,
and Red Hawk, a corporate secu-
rity and telecommunications busi-
ness,
are
responsible
for
maintaining each machine.
While there are any number of
things that can go wrong with a
piece of machinery as sophisti-
cated as Marist's new ATMs, Pan-
taleo was able to pinpoint one
crucial issue that these machines
may be facing.
In
his eyes, the
main problem was not the ma-
chines, but the people using them.
Pantaleo outlined a distinct dif-
ference between the old, bank op-
erated ATMs and the new ones
owned by Marist. The old ATMs
dispensed their cash all at once,
whereas the new machines "spit"
out bills one at a time. Pantaleo
believes that, impatient to collect
their money, many patrons of the
machines are sticking th~ir hands
up into the bill collector, causing
the pulley system that dispenses
the cash to break down.
"They're very sensitive ma-
chines," Pantaleo said.
They come complete with secu-
rity features and precautions that
protect the ATMs from tampering
and theft.

Students in control with on-demand movies
By
KYLE
HANNAAN
Cirde Contributor
The new Resident Select On-De-
mand movie program provides an op-
portunity for Marist students to
stream movies online for
free
and at
their own leisure. The new program
is available now for all Marist stu-
dents, both on-campus and off-cam-
pus, with a Marist account sign-on.
The program can be found at
http://movies.net.marist.edu.
The
program is being provided by College
Activities, with the support of the
Student Programming Council.
The inspiration of this idea came
from student's dependence on the
In-
ternet, according to Director of Stu-
dent Activities Bob Lynch. After a
survey of the student body, College
Activities searched for a solution to
improve the entertainment options
that they provide to the Marist stu-
dent body.
"Students
will
benefit from the in-
dependence it gives them," added
Lynch, who is excited about the
prospects of the program.
''The new on-demand movie pro-
gram
is
so much more desirable and
easy to access than other online
movie streaming websites like Netflix
because it is free, so I love using it,"
said Rebecca D'Antuono, who is a
sophomore employee of CollE:ge Activ-
ities.
Students
will
have the freedom to
stream featured movies and new re-
leases on their own schedule and
from the comfort of their own rooms.
The noise created by the construction
in front of the Student Center pro-
vides an inconvenience to those who
live in Champagnat Hall and Marian
Hall. To remedy this and block out
the noise, the new Resident Select
On-Demand program allows students
to plug in their headphones to watch
a new release or a classic film. The
ability to start, stop, fast-forward,
rewind and pause is available to
users. This feature was not made
available to students when watching

In lieu of

channels,

movie
program.
the movie channels on Marist's TV
network.
The movie library will be expanded
by 10-12 movies every month.
Presently, the library consists of over
20 titles, including feature films such
as ''The Dark Knight Rises," ''Brides
-
maids" and ''Lawless
.
" At this pace,
the on-demand library will exceed
over 50 movie titles by the end of the
Spring 2013 semester. With that
said,
Lynch hopes the movie library that
students can now take advantage of
should not deter students from at-
tending the weekly SPC movie events
shown in the Performing
Arts
Room.
The origins of the on-demand movie
program date back to last year when
the idea was debated by College Ac-
tivities. Before being launched for the
·
Spring 2013 semester, the program
was tested with success by current
students, which was an encouraging
push for College Activities. A survey
about Marist's live television movie
channels was conducted by College
Activities, and the results showed
that while students were aware of the
channels
'
purpose and availability,
they were not commonly used. The
software for the online on-demand
movie program was made available to
Marist by Residence Life Cinema, a
division of Swank Motion Pictures,
Inc.

Security briefs: A case of missing IDs
By MICHAEL BERNARDINI
Staff

@mrBERNARDINI
Have you guys heard of the hot, new
club all Marist students are visit-
ing? The Office of Student Conduct
is simply amazing! It's frequented
by the who's who
9f
the security re-
ports. Better yet? You don't need an
ID to get in ... considering it's al-
ready been confiscated. We're a lit-
tle over halfway through the year,
and everyone keeps playing the
same rookie moves. While I try to
make it interesting, this week is
just more of the same. A few words
of caution: Don't leave your ID in a
cab; don't try to sneak in alcohol
after 3 p.m.; and if you're a fresh-
man, don't invite guests.
2/24 2:17 a.m. Leo Hall
The entire residence hall was evac-
uated due to a resident burning pop-
corn

dime for every time a freshman

A pair of Beats by Dre headphones
were reported missing from the fit-
ness center. After checking security

and the headphones were returned.
Stripping someone of their right to

be considered a federal offense.

A wristlet was turned over to secu-

A student's fake Pennsylvania ID
was turned over to security. As a

why anyone would even want to

you're associated with Amish mut-
tonchops and horse and buggies.

MIP thrives with record .nuinber of applicants
By
MELISSA CONLON
Staff Writer
This year, Marist International
Programs is celebrating 50 years of
sending students abroad and
broadening their global views. Now
more than ever, the numbers of
students taking part in such oppor-
tunities are on the rise.
This academic year alone, the ap-
plications for Fall 2013 are double
the number of applications there
were for Spring 2013. This semes-
ter there are 165 students abroad
and almost 140 participating in
short-term programs; some of
which took place over winter break,
and others are to come over spring
break and at the end of the semes-
ter.
Despite the college's long-time
commitment to broadening stu-
dents global views~ and the 50
years that Marist International
Programs has been active at the
college and had a mission to do the
same, student are breaking records
to gain abroad experience. Carol
Toufali, senior coordinator for MIP,
said that many students, now more
than ever, are going abroad be-
cause they are seeking a world
view, as well as cultural immer-
sion, language fluency, independ-
ence, travel opportunities, overseas
internship and, most importantly
in today's economy, the chance to
enhance their resumes and set
themselves apart to attract the in-
terest of prospective employers.
As an overview, Marist Interna-
tional Programs is focused on al-
lowing students to grow and
develop in ways that staying on
campus might not allow them
to
do.
Meanwhile, they focus on making
student globally aware of cross-cul-
tures? global issues and the discov-
ery of self, culture and an appreci-
ation for diversity. The offices of
MIP offer various services for stu-
dents who are contemplating going
abroad, in the midst of preparing to
go, and so on. Each semester the of-
fice offers one to two information
sessions, as well as a Study Abroad
Fair, which just occurred last
Wednesday, Feb. 20.
In recent years, however, the pro-
gram has grown and become very
popular among students. Students
are attracted to destinations and
programs, both new and old, that
include
:
Instituto
Lorenzo
de'Medici Florence, Foundation of
International Education and other
programs in England, Marist-Uni-
versity of Havana Caribbean and
Cuban
·
Studies Program, Marist-
Mod'Spe Paris Fashion Program
and the Oman Center for Interna-
tional Learning. A large trend
amongst Marist students, which
has been observed by MIP, is stu-
dents' interest in less traditional
programs and destinations such as
Africa, Asia and South America.
However, in addition to the an-
nually run programs, this year,
students are also able to apply for
the Venice Biennale Program (June
7-July
7),
an intensive summer pro-
gram for six credits, which is run in
conjunction with the Marist Art
Department and Professor Ed
Smith. The growth in programs,
course study and flexibility in the
amount of time spent abroad is a
plus for anyone interested in ex-
ploring the world and expanding
their horizons.
In order to accommodate the in-
creased interest, Marist Interna-
tional Programs has made some
adjustments and instituted new
features to applying and studying
abroad. The greater volume of stu-

dents has made way for an online worldview, develop self-confidence,
application and database system. maturity and, ultimately, freedom.
The establishment of web-based Carol Toufali and the MIP office
"pre-departure pages," so that ac-
cepted students can access forms,
instructions, links and additional
information for their chosen pro-
gram; most importantly, however,
is the addition of another MIP co-
ordinator. With these changes, stu-
dents are still welcome to apply to
go abroad more than once, and no
limits have been set on how many
times a student can go abroad. In
fact, there are numerous instances
in which a student may combine a
semester program with a short-
term program, or vice versa. Iri
some cases, students even followed
up a semester in Asia with a se-
mester in Europe.
At the heart of the growth of these
international programs are the
benefits and desires to gain a
encourage students to go if they
can.
"The more time spent abroad, the
better the opportunity for fuller im-
mersion and broader experience,"
Toufali said.
All sophomores, juniors and sen-
iors are eligible for participation in
any of the options, including se-
mester programs and short-term
pro.grams.
Interested students
should visit the MIP website
(http://marist.edu/international/ind
ex.html) for information regarding
all programs, eligibility, applica-
tion processes and instructions.
Students are also encouraged to
contact MIP by e-mail at: interna-
tional@marist.edu or with a quick
question by phone at 845-575-3330.
SGA
Update: Pup.pies, parking and spring programming
By
KATHLEEN O'BRIEN
SGA Reporter
Although the 2013-2014 elections
are complete and the new officers
elected, SGA is still working hard
to finish the year strongly,
As of last week, SGA has officially
transferred the parking appeals
system to online. SGA has long
wanted the system to be digitized
to increase efficiency and sustain-
ability. The new online parking ap-
peals system was created by Chief
Information Officer David Gunter.
"Paul [DiBlasi] approached me
last semester about moving it on-
line," Gunter said. ''When people
come into the office, they will be
redirected to the online system.
[Students] can either use the com-
puters in the SGA room or their
dorm room or, theoretically, on
their phones."
When students receive a ticket
they want to appeal, they will go to
http://sga.marist.edu/parkingap-
peals and sign in with their Marist
account. On the site, the student
will fill out all of the information
found on the ticket that would nor-
mally be submitted on the paper
form. SGA hopes to add a photo
submission to the website soon as
well.
In addition, SGA met with Marist
Chief Financial Officer John Pec-
chia to discuss the ATMs at Marist.
Currently, there are four ATMs on
campus located in Donnelly, the
McCann
.
Center, Student Center
and Jazzman's. Recently, there
have been many complaints about
the ATMs, particularly the with-
drawal fee
-
assosicated with their
use and the reliability of the ma-
chine in Donnelly. According to
Pecchia, all of the ATMs are now
owned and issued by Marist Col-
lege. HSBC removed their ATM
from the Student Center because it
was not compliant with regulations
and was too expensive. Marist Col-
lege approached Wells Fargo,
which owned the ATM in Donnelly,
about adding ATMs to the Student
Center, McCann Center and
Jazzman's, but Wells Fargo refused
because it was too expensive. In ad-
dition, they removed their ATM
from Donnelly because it, too, was
not compliant and too expensive.
Therefore, the college bought their
ownATMs.
The $1 fee that Marist College
charges for withdrawals is the low-
est possible fee for a non-bank
ATM. The larger fee is the one that
each student's individual banks
charges. The $1 fee is used for
maintenance costs of the machines.
''My objective was to make [the
fee] as low as possible," Pecchia
said. "The $1 fee covers the cost, in-
cluding the depreciation of the
equipment over five years because
then we will have to replace it in 5-
6 years, plus all of the outside
costs. I tried
to
find the lowest non-
bank A TM fee, and the lowest fee is
$1. The college is not making
money from the ATMs and we can-
not control what your banks charge
for using a non-credit union ATM."
There have also been complaints
about the reli~bility of the Don-
nelly ATM. Since it is the most
commo1_1ly used ATM by students
and staff, it often runs out of
money. To solve this problem, the
administration is considering con-
verting all money in the ATM to
$20 bills and seeing
if
there is room
for an additional tray in the ma-
chine. Otherwise, the college may
buy a new, larger machine or an
additional machine. In the mean-
time, students are encouraged to
use the other machines on campus
as well.
As midterms rapidly approach,
S9A is planning an event to pro-
vide students with a momentary
bit of relief from stress. The Junior
Senate with the help of the fresh-
man class executive board is work-
ing on an event entitled "Puppies
and Midterms." They hope to be
able to bring puppies from local an-
imal shelters to campus for stu-
dents to play with for 15-minute
intervals. The Junior Senate is cur-
rently in contact with the local an-
imal shelter and the event should
be finalized soon.
For the upcoming spring break,
SGA will once again be sponsoring
transportation. There will be buses
transporting students to New Jer-
sey, Long Island, Boston, MA, and
Hartford, CT. The cost will be be-
.
tween $20 and $25, and tickets
will
be on sale soon.
There are additional SGA events
planned for spring. The senior
tabling events have begun this
week, including the sale of pint
glasses and T-shirts. On April 26,
Fox Fest will be held. The following
day, the Gartland Easter Egg Hunt
event will take place. The main at-
traction, though, is the Spring Con-
cert to be held on April 28,
featuring the Goo Goo Dolls as the
main event.

ATMs owned
by
Marist, maintained
by
private com-panies
While Pantaleo welcomes this
extra security, the resulting sen-
sitivity
of the machines makes
them less robust and apparently
more vulnerable to problems
caused by the machine's users.
On Tuesday, Feb. 26, techni-
cians from Brinks would prove
Pantaleo's theory largely correct.
On campus to diagnose issues
with the machines, these techni-
cians found that the ATMs were
suffering the effects of static elec-
tricity. Pantaleo elaborated, say-
ing that static generated by users
and then transferred to the ma-
chine during a transaction can
wreak havoc on the ATMs' inter-
nal parts, often resulting in the
pulley system breaking down.
More problematically, static can
cause bills to become stuck and
ripped apart inside the dispenser,
essentially resulting in a paper
jam. The good news is that, un-
like the simple human impatience
that Pantaleo blames for some is-
sues with the machines, the prob-
lems posed by static electricity
can be fixed in short order.
Although Brinks and Red Hawk
are able to remedy any issues with
the machines, they typically only
service each ATM once a week.
Additionally, nobody at Marist is
qualified to work on the machines;
Brinks does not give the ATMs'
vault combination to anyone out-
side of the company as a security
precaution. Additionally, the col-
lege's service agreement with
Brinks and Red Hawk does not
allow for any Marist employees to
service or repair the machines.
The most that Pantaleo and the
staff of the Business Affairs De-
partment can do are minor tasks
like changing the roll of receipt
tape inside the ATMs.
Despite student frustrations
over the ATMs coming to a head
in recent months, Pantaleo is con-
fident that things are not as bad
as they seem. He said that com-
plaints about broken or out of
order machines are fairly rare,
stating
_
that "one a week is a lot."
Pantaleo iterated that, consider-
ing the volume and high amount
of use, the service provided by the
machines around campus is actu-
ally very good. He also said that
the addition of new machines in
more locations was an action in-
tended to improve service for the
Marist community.

"Even
if one or two machines go
down," Pantaleo said,
"there
are
two more that work."
However, the sheer number of
machines scattered across.campus
is no guarantee that students
will
be able to pick up cash when and
where they need it. Senior
Michael McKenna has experi-
enced issues with ATMs around
campus this semester.
"I needed money quickly to pay
for a delivery," McKenna said, "so
I went to the ATM in Jazzman's.
That one was broken so I went to
the one in Donnelly, which was
also broken. I had to drive to Cam-
pus Deli across the street to use
their ATM." McKenna added that
he was "very disappointed" with
the service provid~d by the ma-
chines.
Many students have been quick
to blame Marist for their woes at
the ATM despite many aspects of
the machines' operation being out
of the college's control. Having to
rely on two other companies to
take care of the machines is frus-
trating for Pantaleo, who ex-
plained "it's all new to all of us."
However, he is dedicated to im-
proving service for the college,
stating that "our job is to try to
make it as perfect as possible."
Currently, Business Affairs is
discussing Raving the ATMs filled
with cash twice a week, doubling
the number of times that qualified
technicians will be on campus to
service and fill the machines. Stu-
dents are encouraged to report
broken machines, whether by
alerting Marist administration or
calling the service number listed
on each ATM.
For students frustrated with a
machine that is out of order or out
of cash, Pantaleo and other ad-
ministrators stress patience, stat-
ing that students want and need
money

companies that maintain the ma-
chines not being on hand nearly
as often. To avoid causing compli-
cations with and within the ma-
chines,
students should
not
tamper with their parts or compo-
nents. It seems that the best
mantra for keeping the ATMs in

Marist students attend alum.ni networking event
By

ROSE SIRICO
Circle Contributor
On Feb. 11, Communication stu-
dents had the opportunity to net-
work with Marist alumni in NYC.
The event was hosted by the Com-
munication Jnternship Department
at the offices of Taylor, a market-
ing communications company,
which is located in the Empire
State Building.
"I thought this event was the
best one yet (we've run three in
NYC) in terms of energy, engage-
ment and participation. The stu-
dents were very active and the
alumni never took a break - a sign
that things were humming and
everyone was engaged," said Pro-
fessor Gerry McNulty, Director of
Communication
&
Media Arts In-
ternships.
The turnout for the event was
34
students and 13 alumni. The
alumni sat at tables designated by
industry
(TV,
Sports Comm, PR,
and Advertising) and the students
had the opportunity to mingle with
them. The event was structured
so
that every 15 minutes or so stu-
dents would switch tables to get in
as much networking as possible.
The bus arriving to the city full
of students was
~
little late, due to
fog and city traffic, ~ut besides
that, McNulty said he thought the
event went very well.
"The networking event was per-

Marist students got a plethora of networking opportunites when they met up
with Marist alumni In NYC on February-11.
Odom's advice for younger stu-
dents is to attend these networking
events, and to be yourself.
"All of those people we met were
in our position once too and there's
no sense in trying to act like you

pared the students were.
''I'm always impressed by Marist
students, and this was no excep-
tion. Students came prepared with
printed resumes and business
cards, and most importantly, lots
of questions. You could really ap-
preciate the strength of the intern-
ship program at Marist in
speaking with these students, who
were eager, professional and en-
thusiastic about the opportunity,"
Spirko said.
Spirko said that networking is so
important in communications
fields, especially for college gradu-
ates.
''Marist has a really unique
alumni network that is so impor-
tant to tap into. It is great that
Marist is guiding students in mak-
ing these connections, and it is the
responsibility of thos~ in atten-
dance to follow-up with alumni to
build the relationship further,"
Spirko said.
After collecting anonymous sur-
veys from the participating stu-
dents, McNulty said that most of
them found the event to be very
helpful.
''We received a grumble or two
about the late bus, but most
alumni said they thought the stu-
dents were serious and well-pre-
pared," McNulty said. ''Most
students said they connected di-
rectly with specific alumni and
plan to stay in touch - and that's
what we want."
Networkip.g events like this one
will occur annually. Networking
events are the perfect opportunity
to introduce yourself with alumni

"Friends
of Jaclyn Foundation" m.akes a difference
By
TIMOTHY GILBERT
Circle Contributor
There seems to be a common fac-
tor among the overwhelming num-
ber of modern active charities:
These organizations always seem
to dedicate incredible amounts of re-
sources in the search for advanced
forms of medicine and treatment
techniques.
The "Friends of Jaclyn Founda-
tion," however, has an entirely dif-
ferent set of priorities. This
organization was founded in 2006
by current Marist freshman, Jaclyn
Murphy, and her father to help im-
prove the quality of life for children
diagnosed with brain tumors.
They do not focus on a cure or
tre~tment; their first and only pri-
ority is to make sick kids happy.
At the young age of 9, Jaclyn Mur-
phy was diagnosed with a medul-
loblastoma, or a malignant brain
tumor. The news rocked her family;
this vicious disease is the number
one killer of children under 18. And
sadly, its presence condemned hE!r
to surgery and weeks of sickening
treatment.
Prior to this treatment, Jaclyn
was an avid soccer and lacrosse
.
.
player. Once she began chemother-
apy however, this all changed.
The sickness began to take a toll
on the spirits of Jaclyn and her fam-
ily.
"It's an insidious disease," said
Denis Murphy, Jaclyn's father.
Through a marathon of chemother-
apy cycles, Jaclyn's father would at-
tempt cheer to her up by pointing to
a picture of a lacrosse player on the
hospital wall. He would say, "You're
going to be like that one day."
''Memorial Sloan-Kettering, the
ninth floor\ is the saddest place in
the world," said Denis Murphy in an
interview to HBO's "Real Sports."
"It's where heaven and hell meet."
The Murphy family was forced to
familiarize themselves with this
area during their extensive treat-
ment stays.
Day after day they would pass
that picture, and Dennis would re-
peat 'the same thing, hoping to lift
the mood of his beloved child.
This ritual continued on for weeks,
until one day, Jaclyn received a
package full of good wishes from
Northwestern's women's lacrosse
team.
A family friend of the Murphy's
had gotten in contact with the head
coach of the girls lacrosse team over
at Northwestern, Kelly Amonte,
and told her about Jaclyn's story.
Moved by the tale, the team
promptly declared Jaclyn an hon-
orary team member.
This sign of love inspired young
Jaclyn to go visit the team as soon
as she could. This lead her to an in-
spirational meeting with the girls,
one that did wonders for her spirits.
After coming home from her up-
lifting meeting with the lacrosse
team, Jaclyn was thrown back into
the wretched routine of treatment.
She was back experiencing hell,
except this time there was one sig-
nificant difference: This time, she
was filled with the constant support
of her new teammates from North-
western University.
-She was glued to her phone, tex-
ting her new friends through the
good times and the bad.
One day, Jaclyn was feverishly
texting her friends,, when a girl sit-
ting in the waiting room near her
noticed her popularity. The girl
asked Jaclyn who she was texting.
It was at that moment that Jaclyn
knew what had to be done. She
knew that she had to get this girl a
team.
Today, the Jacl~ foundation has
grown immensely. They currently
have over
384 adopted cp.ildren to
31
different collegiate sports. Even
a professional surfer, Dylan Perillo,
has adopted a child.
Through all the publicity and at-
tention, the "Friends of Jaclyn" or-
ganization has gained immense
popularity among sports teams all
over the country. There is a waiting
list of over 1200 teams, all eager to
love their adopted teammate.
The work the foundation does can
change the lives of the young
adoptees more than any scientific
form of healing.
"No chemo, no radiation, no clini-
cal trial drug is more important
than love, support and friendship,"
Denis Murphy said.
The "Friends of Jaclyn" organiza-
tion has two component programs
which make it up: Adopt-a-Child
and "Safe on the Sidelines."
Jaclyn's younger sister, Taryn,
started the program "Safe on the
Sidelines," which has its own set of
similar goals. Essentially, it pairs
the distraught sibling of a child with
a brain tumor with a collegiate
team.
Children with brain tumors often
require immense amount of atten-
tion and care.
According to Denis Murphy, sib-
lings "often get lost in the shuffie."
This is a serious issue, and it is the
goal of "Safe on the Sidelines" to
make sure they get the attention
and acceptance they need.
The love- and friendships forged
though the "Friends of Jaclyn" foun-
dation has positively changed the
lives of hundreds of children over
the past few years.
The quality of life that this organ-
ization helps promote is a pricefess
asset to these struggling families.
Even though the foundation does
not concern itself with research and
development, the impact it is creat-
ing is unbounded.

With spring break fast approach-

week.
It
is not too late to create an
itinerary of activities for you and
friends to enjoy. There is an array of
different ideas for spring break fun
at the fingertips of all students.
Whether it involves taking a vaca-
tion, accepting the responsibilities of
a volunteer project, or simply relax-
ing, the upcoming break does not
have to be a disappointment.
In reality, not everyone can afford
to jet off to an island for an all-inclu-
sive vacation for the dream spring
break experience. However, a small
trip that is more compatible with the
typical college student's budget can
easily be arranged. A road trip is a
great opportunity to catch up with
high school friends or get to know
new college friends even better. Ex-
penses can be kept low if everyone
contributes gas money to the driver.
A day trip can eliminate the cost of

saves money for activities. However,

Brace yourselves: the yearly hous-

Freshmen, you have never experi-

choosing where to live and, arguably
more importantly, choosing who
you'll live with. Yes, everyone wants
to get the so-called "better" housing
like Foy ToWrihouses and the Upper

what truly matters most is that you
will be happy with the group that
you decide you want to live with. It
is definitely important that you
know that wherever you live, there is
always the potential for possible
roommate drama and, as an upper-

It is better to know who exactly are
the right people to live with, even if it
is a hard decision to make, and to
know that you'll be happy living
wherever you get placed.
So, you may have already started
wondering who you're going to live

America lags behind on gay rights initiative
By
ADAM STIRPE
Circle Contributor
Recently, the notion of marriage
has undergone a great deal of
change, both domestically and in-
ternationally. No Tonger is mar-
riage considered to be a sanction
that exists solely between mem-
bers of opposite genders. Gay mar-
riage and equality have been social
issues that have been on the fore-
front of countless media reports.
Currently, nine states within the
U.S. have legalized gay marriage,
and many offer count~ess social
and legal benefits to gay couples
and even recognize their mar-
riages. Similarly, gay marriage is
legal in Argentina, Belgium,
Canada, Denmark, Iceland, the
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
South Africa, Spain, Sweden and
more recently, France.
In
addition,
Mexico performs marriages in
Mexico City and Quintana Roo, but
all Mexican provinces recognize
gay marriage. Israel also recog-
nizes marriages performed on for-
eign soil, but will also perform
them within the country.
Several countries such as Aus-
tralia and China are still debating
whether or not to legalize gay mar-
riage,
but the issue as a whole has
received a great deal of recognition
and acceptance throughout the
world.
A
more pressing domestic issue
of which many people within the
United States are aware is the
pressure that is being put on the
Boy Scouts of America to lift their
ban on appointing homosexuals
into leadership positions. The Boy
Scouts of America is an organiza-
tion that was founded on Christian
principles and planned on instill-
ing these values in the young men
that dedicated themselves to the
organization. They are concerned
with removing these policies for a
number of reasons. First, the or-
ganization is privately operated
and receives donations from fami-
lies, friends and peers of the mem-
bers. Depending on the way these
donors view the concept of homo-
sexuality, the flow of income may
or may not cease, and the organi-
zation certainly does not want to
lose any potential profit that it
could otherwise make. In addition,
there are several individuals
within the organization who view
homosexuality as sinful due to
their religious upbringings and be-
liefs. Unfortunately, these individ-
uals hold positions of power within
the organization.
Personally, I think it's absolutely
ridiculous to place such a ban, as
one's sexuality does not define
them in any way. There is no justi-
fiable reason that a person could
come up with to convince me that a
homosexual leader would be any
less influential, effective and re-
spectable than a heterosexual
·
leader. One's sexuality has nothing
to do with their capability to suc-
ceed in any aspect of life. At some
point in time, I do believe the dis-
crimination that exists within this
organization will subside, and gay
leaders will become more promi-
nent. For the time being, strides
will have to be made to help
change the paradigms that count-
less leaders within the Boy Scouts
share in terms of sexual orienta-
tion.
Meanwhile, overseas, England
has taken a progressive step for-
ward with regard to sexual orien-
tation and marriage equality. Very
recently, the English Hoµse of
Commons voted to approve a bill
that would legalize same
.
-sex mar-
riage in Britain. The nation as a
whole would permit same-sex mar-
riages to be performed, but the
Church of England and other
faiths would not be required to per-
form these marriages. While Eng-
land is seemingly accepting and
embracive of the homosexual
lifestyle, there are still couritless
members of the British Parliament
who strongly oppose the biij simply
because they uphold the notion
that marriage is a sanction that
can only exist between a man and
a woman. The overwhelming sup-
port of the majority of the British
Parliament is met with the slight-
est bit of rejection and closed-
mindedness.
While prejudices regarding ho.
mosexuality still exist in today's
society, a considerable amount of
progress has been made in the ef -
fort to normalize the homosexual
lifestyle and promote equality for
all. Several nations around the
world have started to implement
new laws and policies that are per-
mitting homosexuals to live lives of
ease and happiness. Many new
policies allow them to be protected
from discrimination, both socially
and economically, which is un-
doubtedly a necessity in today's
ever-changing world. Despite the
existing discrimination that is evi-
dent in organizations such as the
Boy Scouts of America and parts of
the British Parliament, there
is
still widespread support for the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans-
gender community that will only
make this world a better place in
which to live.
Taking the bite out of bloodsuckers
By
AMBER CA.SE
Staff Writer
Today's entertainment media is
consumed by zombies and vampires.
Books, movies, television and even
music feature the trend in today's
popular culture. Once prominent
back in the days of ''The Night of the
Living Dead" and "Nosferatu," these
blood-sucking creatures of the dead
took a back seat to the more tradi-
tional horror movie themes of chain-
saw-wielding
mass
murderers
throughout the 1980s and 90s.
The first reemergence of vampires
since
"~uffy
the Vampire Slayer'' oc-
curred when Stephenie Meyer's first
"Twilight" book was released in
2005. The novel was an entirely dif-
ferent approach to vampires than
Bram Stoker's "Dracula." Meyer's
novel featured a vampire falling in
love with a human teenager, writ-
ten for young adults. Despite being
panned by some critics for Meyer's
writing style, the book became an
instant classic among teenagers for
its themes of romanticism and sus-
pense. Now that it has been eight
years since the first ''Twilight" 'book
was released and five years since
the first movie, some of us have seen
en~ugh of the fad.
Vampires have been completely
transformed in the media to be
lusted after, not feared. "Twilight"
created the path for modern-day
vampire films to stray further and
further away from the original ele-
men ts of vampire fiction. This is not
to say that there are not successful
depictions of vampires in the media
today.
On the, small screen, ''True Blood"
is a series about a fictional universe
that makes sense. I stress the fact
that the premise of ''True Blood"
makes sense because it explains
why the vampires on the show are
able to walk among the humans and
be seen in daylight. This show,
·based on ''The Southern Vampire
Mysteries" by Charlaine Harris
1
is
an acceptable alternative take on
the classic vampire. The series also
focuses on contemporary issues, not
just the superficial glamorization of
forbidden love between a bad boy
and an innocent girl. When adapta-
tions of vampire stories are done
correctly, there is not as much back-
lash against the trend. If the enter-
tainment industry continues to
make movies and television shows
about vampires, the projects should
be original yet remain true to the
classic vampire image.
''White Zombie," a 1932 horror
film by Victor Halperin, is consid-
ered to be the first zombie film. The
plot and acting were criticized as
over-the-top, yet the film is often
cited as the original archetype of all
zombie movies. The more widely
known zombie series was comprised
of six films, all directed by George
A.
Romero. ''The Night of the Living
Dead" series first began in 1968
with a film of the same name. It fo-
cused on a small group of people
who become trapped in a farmhouse
in Pennsylvania when a graveyard
of bodies transforms into zombies.
The film series introduced the con-
cept of the zombie apocalypse,
which has since become the basis
for all zombie entertainment. The
''Resident Evil" series is another
popular depiction of apocalyptic cir-
cumstances in which humans are
infected by a virus that transforms
them into zombies. Similar to the
vampire trend, zombies are humans
who become infected by a plague
that turns them into mindless can°
nibals. One exception to the rule
was the 1989 Stephen King film
"Pet Semetary," in which animals
return from the dead to seek
vengeance.
Zombies did not make as long of a
disappearance from the media as
vampires did, but the phenomenon
that has kept zombies prominent for
the past three years made the
reemergence earth
-
shattering. This
spectacle was the television adapta-
tion of the popular comic book series
''The Walking Dead" which pre-
miered on AMC in 2010. Writer
Robert Kirkman and artist Tony
Moore first published their black
and white monthly comic book se-
ries in 2003. The story chronicled
the life of Rick Grimes, a police offi-
cer who awakens in a hospital to
find that the world has spiraled into
a zombie apocalypse. To date, the
show has attracted as many as 12.3
million viewers who eagerly tune in
each week. Critics also cannot get
enough of the undead creatures
faced by heroic Rick and his group.
The reason that "The Walking
Dead" has been so successful is due
to the fact that the plot is believ
-
able. It does not seem that far off
today to imagine a world in which
all but a handful of the human race
is exterminated. In addition, the
zombies make occasional appear-
ances; they do not run the show.
Paired with exceptional writing and
acting, the series has been a hit be-
cause the zombies have not been
made victim to the same glorifica-
tion that vampires have.
Unfortunately, not every depiction
of zombies can be as well done as
''The Walking Dead." The new
movie ''Warm Bodies" depicts a
zombie who slowly begins to come
back to life after falling in love with
a human. The film is a fresh take on
the usually flesh-hungry monsters
· who blindly roam the streets, but it
does not seem believable. From
what the media has defined as a
zombie for the past 75 years, we
have become accustomed to seeing
brain-dead cannibals. This new
movie has a zombie with a function-
ing brain that allows him to talk
and slowly regenerate himself back
into a normal human. While it is
better than seeing the same films
continuously remade, the classic
vampire and zombie archetypes are
not broken; so do not fix them.

Spring Concert: A closer look at the Goo Goo Dolls
By
AMBER CASE
Staff Writer
Many students were delighted to
hear that the
Goo
Goo
Dolls would be
coming to Marist for the 2013 Spring
Concert when the Student Program-
ming Council made the big an-
nouncement on their Facebook page.
For those who are unfamiliar with
the alternative rock band, the Goo
Goo
Dolls formed in Buffalo, N.Y., in
1986. Their name was inspired by a
True Detective advertisement for a
toy called a goo goo doll. At the time,
the band had to come up with a
name quickly, and this particular ad
cau_ght theil- attention. Lead singer
John Rzeznik has stated in past in-
terviews that if the band had even
five more minutes to come up with a
band name, then they probably
would have chosen something differ-
ent. Along with Rzeznik, the other
band members include bassist Robby
Takac and percussionist
Mike Ma-
linin. Malinin replaced original
member George Tutuska as drum-
mer in 1995.
Although the trio has been in the
music industry for 27 years, it was
not until 1995 that the
Goo Goo
Dolls
had their first hit. Between 1986 and
1993, the group released four albums
which spawned three singles but
garnered little recognition. The Goo

A review
of the
2013
Academy Awards Ceremony
By
NICOLE KNOEBEL
Staff Writer
This year's Oscars finally achieved
what producers have been hoping
to achieve for years: high ratings
and a show enjoyed by viewers of all
ages. Seth MacFarlane pushed
through a rocky start to keep view-
ers entertained with witty one-lin-
ers and just enough controversy to
keep things fresh and interesting.
MacFarlane, following the impos-
sible-to-top Tina Fey-Amy Poehler
joint hosting gig at the Golden
Globes, did his best to live up to the
yp.e
and to draw younger viewers
in.
H
is
monologue was slightly too
long and forced. He made sly infer-
ences to his provocative ways with-
out ever actually stepping over the
line, relying
too
much on the hype
in social media that he would be as
inappropriate
as
his
"Family Guy"
and ''Ted" endeavors. These jokes
would have made more sense com-
ing from three-time Golden Globe
host Ricky Gervais, who spent his
time on stage roasting the celebrity
audience. MacFarlane found his
groove after his monologue by play-
fully targeting nominees and pre-
senters and a hysterical ''The Sound
of Music" inspired introduction for
Christopher Plummer, a.k.a. Cap-
tain von Trapp.
Keeping the notoriously long
awards show chugging was the
''Music and Film" theme of the

evening. With performances by the
"Les Mis" cast, Catherine Zeta-
Jones of"Chicago," Jennifer Hudson
of
"Dreamgirls"
and
007
crooner/newly-minted Oscar winner
Adele, the monotony of presenting
the lesser-known awards was
greatly reduced while maintaining
audience interest. The one draw-
back was the use of famous movie
scores as music to queue winners to
wrap up their speeches. A few un-
fortunate winners were unceremo-
niously rushed off the stage by the
much-too-harsh
"Jaws"
theme,
much to the dismay of audience
members like the visibly sympa-
thetic Nicole Kidman.
As always, the most anticipated
awards are the ones that presented
to actors and, of course, the best pic-
ture. Anne Hathaway surprised no
one by winning Best Supporting Ac-
tress for "Les Mis." She delivered a
well-rehearsed, but no doubt,
earnest speech, announcing that
her dream of winning an Oscar had
come true. Christoph Waltz won his
second Academy Award for his sup-
porting role in."Django Unchained,"
thanking
the
always-quirky
Quentin Tarantino for directing him
in his second winning role.
Daniel Day-Lewis made history by
being the first actor to win Best
Actor three times. He broke his
often-stoic persona to joke with pre-
senter Meryl Streep, claiming to the
audience's delight that she had in
fact been lined up to play Abra~am
Lincoln by Steven Spielberg. And
perhaps most charmingly of all,
America's newest sweetheart Jen-
nifer Lawrence tripped on her way
up to the stage to become the second
youngest Best Actress winner ever.
She recovered and said her usual
girl next-door candor to her stand-
ing ovation, ''You guys are just
standing up because you feel bad
that I fell, and that's really embar-
rassing, but thank you."
Although she handled the situa-
tion well and delivered a heartfelt
speech, she revealed in the press-
room all she could think after her
fall was, "A bad word that I can't
say. It starts with 'F."'
Ben Affleck defied the Academy
that snubbed him a Best Director
nomination by winning Best Picture
for "Argo." He delivered a flabber-
gasted, genuine speech that hon-
ored the real-life heroes behind the
story of "Argo," in addition to his
wife Jennifer Gamer and his chil-
dren.
In all, the Oscars was an enjoyable
and entertaining show. After strug-
gling in the past to create a more
memorable and youthful show, the
show's producers finally found the
right balance of classic, Old Holly-
wood glamour and modem, exciting
fi.m.

Sony reveals the PS-4 during confer
_
ence
By
BRIAN TABB
Circle Contributor
It's been seven years since the
PS3 came out. We've seen the Sony
PlayStation brand blow up ever
since its start with the PlayStation
in 1995. Ever since then, the graph-
ics have encountered major up-
grades, the games have become
more immersive and the worlds
these games have been set in have
become more expansive and real-
ized in the developers' eyes. How-
ever, on Feb. 20, we got an exclusive
look into the future to see where
Sony will take the gaming world
next with the PlayStation 4, set to
be released this holiday season.
To the thousands of gamers who
saw the conference, its announce-
ment and revealing was quite unex-
pected. What Sony showed off was
of similar fashion to that of E3, the
massive gaming expo that takes
place every June. After doing an
ini-
tial business "keyword" talk about
interactivity, integration and cre-
ativity, the real show began when
the lead architect designer came out
to show off the product.
As
expected,
the graphical leap from PS3 to PS4
was minimal in comparison to the
tremendous leap from PS2 to PS3.
The focus this time was graphical
detail: more polygons with each
character and more diverse worlds
for the players to live in. The worlds
will be bigger, more immersive and
more expansive. At one point, they
showed 1 million polygons falling
into a detailed city. which aimed to
show how realistically a mass of ob-
jects interacted accordingly with the
world around them.
In addition to the visual upgrade,
Sony also revealed their new altered
controller - the first time they've al-
tered their DualShock design. It
boasts a touch pad in the middle, re-
moving the start and select buttons.
It also slightly alters the analog
sticks and back buttons to be more
user-friendly. The coolest feature
that they showed off in relation to
the console's power was also its sim-
plest: the ability to turn your sys-
tem on and start playing exactly
where you left it, with no boot up
ability to insert ourselves into our
friends' single-player game
if
they're having a tough time. I don't
personally see the need for it, but it
could become a cool feature
if
used
properly. Also, included on the con-
troller is a "Share" button where at
any point in a game you can press it
and take a screenshot, or capture a
video to send to the World Web.

time at all. My thought is that this
will lead into the games themselves
where
loading
is minimal to non-ex-
istent.
Then came the less exciting reveal
- the social side of the new system.
My worry immediately skyrocketed
because I felt the rest of the show
would be dedicated to Sony's focus
on bringing the community to-
gether. The new main menu, it
seems, is something similar to Face-
book or Twitter where you have a
picture and your latest gaming
events lined up in a timeline on the
left. With the PS4, we now have the

the games! No one was
sure exactly what Sony would be
showing off, but they shocked us all
when game developer after game
developer came out to show us their
creations. There was "Killzone:
Shadow Fall," which showed off the
most epic scope possible for first-
person
shooters.
"InFamous:
Shadow Son" follows a group of su-
perheroes in the near future as they
attempt to combat the much-pre-
vailing security taken by the
''World's Police." Bungie, the cre-
ators of "Halo," revealed
·
their plans
to bring ''Destiny," their new epic, to
the PS4 and Witness. The creators
of "Braid," showed off another indie
game about an island that you must
discover using hundreds of different
puzzles. "Driveclub" from the cre-
ators of the ''Motorstorm" and
''Wipeout" series, is a somewhat in-
triguing racer that speaks highly of
its community-based features. "Lit-
tleBigPlanet" creator Alex Evans
showed off a new approach to the
PlayStation Move, which seems to
actually contribute something other
than a Wii knockoff. And last but
not le~st was my favorite game from
E3 last year, ''Watch Dogs," from
UbiSoft. The game takes place in a
futuristic Chicago where a powerful
security system controls everything
from discharging electrical fuse
boxes, to hacking ATMs, to predict-
ing future bank robberies and mur-
ders. We follow Aiden Pearce in a
highly detailed open-world environ-
ment with something to do around
every corner. ''Watch Dogs," I be-
lieve, is the greatest piece of soft-
ware to show off the power of the
PS4 and easily
one
of my most an-
ticipated games.
Overall,
the reveal of the PS4 was
a rousing success. Numerous games
were shown and social media fea-
tures were kept at a minimum, al-
though my worry from its near
dominant
inclusion is still high. The
controlier got a fresh breath of air
with its sleek look and friendlier ap-
proach. The power that went into
the system is very impressive, com-
paring easily to top of the line su-
percomputers.
The PS4, and with
almost a 100% certainty, the Xbox
720, will be reaching homes this
coming holiday season.
Bonnaroo and Governor's Ball festival previews
By
ALEX SPIESS
Circle Contributor
And so it begins; we have officially
embarked on the summer 2013
music festival pre-season. It's time
to start training and preparing for
the rigorous road ahead of hazy
stage hopping and musty under-
arms. With the fin;mcially success-
ful and even groundbreaking 2012
festival season (Tupac Hologram
Performance at Coachella), 2013 is
set to be even better. For college
students who want a plethora of
mainstream
and
underground
music, Governor's Ball and Bonna-
roo should be any young adult's des-
tination at least once during their
four years of financially aided par-
tying. Festival season can be a very
overwhelming time, so in order to
not be misguided and stressed out
about which festival is going to be
"the" festival to go to this year, let's
consider the lineups.
Governor's Ball has already re-
leased their killer schedule which
includes such headliners as Kanye
West, Kings of Leon and Guns N'
Roses. Other big names on the
docket are Nas, Kendrick Lamar,
The Lumineers, Pretty Lights, The
XX, Thievery Corporation, Beach
House, Bloc Party, Alt J and Erykah
Badu.
·
The Governor's Ball never
disappoints, and with this lineup as
well as many more great artists, I
don't expect them to fall short. Gov-
ernor's Ball has always been a pop-
ular destination for Marist students
because it's a great atmosphere and
right in New York City's Randall Is-
land.
The festival will run from
June 7-9 with Kanye West, Kings of
Leon, and Guns N' Roses headlining
each one of the days. On top of
those three monsters topping off
each night of the festival, don't for-
get to check out the other stages and
events set up, like their infamous
silent disco. For those of you who
don't know, the silent disco is es-
sentially exactly as it sounds; hun-
dreds
of
people
wearing
headphones, dancing to music being
played by live DJs! Definitely a
bizarre sight to see from the outside
looking in, but a dance-off with
friends while listening to crystal
clear music is definitely something
to look forward to.
If
Governor's Ball doesn't get you
amped enough for festival season,
look no
·
further than the next most
reasonable festival destination:
Manchester, Tenn. The Bonnaroo
Music and Arts Festival has been
throwing down since 2002 and is on
almost any festivalgoer's bucket list.
The long awaited 2013 Bonnaroo
lineup was finally announced
.
Feb.
19, and it just might be the best
lineup of the summer: Paul Mc-
Cartney, MumfQ:rd and Sons, Tom
Petty & The Heartbreakers, ZZ Top,
Macklemore and Ryan
Lewis,
Bjork,
Wilco, Nas, Pretty Lights,
R.
Kelly,
Wu-Tang Clan, Daniel Tosh, The
Lumineers, Passion Pit, Kendrick
Lamar, A$AP Rocky, and that's not
even the half of it.
If
you're still not
completely ready to make the trip,
consider that the whole event is
being hosted by the man, the myth,
the legend, Neil Patrick Harris. Yes
folks,
NPH
will be facilitating the
entire festival in all his hosting
glory. Tickets go on sale Saturday
Feb. 23, and I'm already saving
money for tickets and gas money to
road trip down to Manchester. This
Bonnaroo is sure to be one festival
of legendary status. With estab-
lished rock gods like Paul McCart-
ney, Tom
Petty
& The Heart
Breakers and ZZ Top, as well as
many up-and-coming
.
artists in at-
tendance, this festival will prove to
be more than just a love fest in a
muddy field in nowhere Tennessee.
It is a reunion of musical giants and
eager upstarts of epic proportions.
Governor's Ball and Bonnaroo are
the largest festivals that are within
reasonable driving distance for the
Marist demographic
.
So I leave it
up to you to decide which festival
you make an effort to get to, unless
you do both. Governor's Ball is
great because it's a relaxed festival
atmosphere, with all the hustle and
bustle of New York city's finest food
trucks and restaurants. It's the
best of both worlds, and you don't
have 80,000 sweaty hippies crawl-
ing around in a music-drunken
haze.
If
the latter life is for you,
then I would suggest making the
trip down to Manchester, Tenn.; it
will be well worth the drive. After
looking at a lot of major festival
lineups, as far as musical diversity
and talent go, Bonnaroo has the
best collection of performers in my
book.
Don't forget to check out all the
other great festivals that are closest
to you. In the meantime, pack your
summer clothes and save the dates
for these two great destinations, be-
cause they are sure to make a great
trip this summer.

Softball refuses to lose in 2013 season
By
GEOFF MAGLIOCCHffil
Staff Writer
Many college sports teams go into
battle with a saying or a battle cry
that gives them all the inspiration
they need to take home a victory.
For the Marist softball team, noth-
ing motivates them further than
three simple letters.
"RTL. Refuse to lose," senior
pitcher and Emily Osterhaus said.
"It's always a terrible feeling to lose
a game, but when it's home, in front
of friends and family, it's even
worse."
Osterhaus is referring to the
heartbreaking defeats suffered by
the Red Foxes on their very own
Gartland Field this past May. De-
spite finishing fourth in the MAAC
with a 9-7 conference record (28-27
overall), the team went 0-2 in
MAAC Tournament play, falling to
Iona and Canisius.
Following the spring setback, the
Foxes return this year with a re-
newed sense of optimism. Marist
welcomes back six starters from the
year before, including seniors Os-
terhaus and Danielle Klotz, who
have been named co-captains. Klotz,
an indispensable component in the
Marist infield for the past four
years, earned Second Team All-
MAAC honors, posting career num-
bers in almost every major offensive
category. She posted a .314 batting
average, eight home runs and had
39 runs batted in.
The Chenango Bridge,
N.Y.,
na-
tive spoke of a team dedicated to
earning victories.
''The-things that set this team
apart are the initiative and desire,"
Klotz said. ''We've spent so much
time on our own in the gym, not be-
cause we have to, because we want
to."
The determination of the Klotz-
Osterhaus regime has spread to the
team's other players, such as out-
fielder Aly Klemmer. Klemmer, who
is a junior concluded last season on
a high note, making the All-MAAC
Tournament team after batting .500
with an equally impressive .667 on-
base percentage.
''We've takeh it to another level
this offseason," Klemmer said. "It's
important that we show up on our
own, not just when we're scheduled.
If
we'.re going to build on last year's
success we have to go hard from the
first game and this offseason has re-
ally prepared us for it."
Head coach Joe Ausanio has also
taken notice of the team's efforts in
the offseason.
''They're
doing a lot on their own,
always in the batting cages or the
gym," said Ausanio, who enters his
fifth year in Poughkeepsie. ''They
understand how important this sea-
son is. They're much better pre-
pared this year."
Both captains welcome the chal-
lenges facing the Foxes this season,
especially the ones they personally
face in their captain duties.
''I
don't see any extra pressure,"
said Osterhaus, who posted a ca-
reer-low in hits allowed last season,
in addition to 11 wins and a 3. 73
ERA. ''We see it as a great opportu-
nity to be leaders and mediators to
the team."
Osterhaus and Klotz are two of
five seniors this season, the first re-
cruiting group brought in by Au-
sanio,
who
applauded the efforts of
his debut
class.
"These
girls endured a rebuild-
ing
period," Ausanio recalls. "In
the
ir
freshmen year, they won 10
games. Now, we're averaging about
30 wins over our past two. They
helped pave the way_to our success.
I'm very proud of their transforma-
tion."
Ausanio's inaugural class has left
its mark on both the college and its
softball record books. Klotz's 19
home runs, for example, are good for
sixth all-time in Red Fox history.
Osterhaus has thrown 46 complete
games in her career, good for fourth
in the Marist record books. Au-
siano's successful rebuild of the
Marist program has attracted tal-
ented underclassmen to the team
over
.
the past couple of years.
Among them are juniors Alyssa
Zahka, who led the team in batting
average last season at .327, and
Haley Birnbaum, who stole 11 bases
last year.
Ausiano also spoke highly of
Marist's new freshmen class, in-
cluding outfielder Nicole Cheek,
who homered in her first at-bat this
fall.
''ThiJ
team will feature contribu-
tions from everybody, including our
freshmen," he said. ''These five tal-
ented athletes are definitely going
to make an impact."
The Red Foxes enter the season
ranked second in the conference's
preseason poll. While most teams
would be satisfied with a number-
two ranking, everybody on the team
knows that's not the end goal.
Perhaps no one knows that bet:
ter than new assistant coach
Melissa Giordano, a 2009 Marist
graduate who holds the all-time bat-
ting average (.371) and total hits
(236) record for the school. She also
helped the Foxes earn their last
MAAC title in 2006.
"It's a good sign when the team is
-upset over number two," Giordano
said. ''The younger players are
pushing the older players to be bet-
ter. The team is constantly locked in
a friendly competition for playing
time. Our depth is probably our
greatest asset."
''We may be number two now, but
we need to show the league that we
deserve that praise," Osterhaus
said. "Last season's loss eats us
alive, but that's all the reason we
need to come out strong and win
ball games."

With no regrets, Price set for senior day
By
ERIC
VANDERVOORT
Prep in Trenton, N.J., where he met
.
Editor-in
-
Chief
future Marist teammate Rob John-
Devin Price could have taken the
easy way out. He could have left. In
fact, he was told to.
But he didn't, and when Price has
the chance to play in front of his
family on Senior Day on Sunday
against Fairfield in the McCann
Arena, he will be wearing
"the
biggest smile in the world."
After Price's sophomore season,
he and Marist men's basketball
head coach Chuck Martin had a
meeting in which Martin told Price
he should transfer. The Red Foxes
went 6-27 that year, and Price saw
a significant dip in playing time
after he violated Martin's social
media policy.
"He was a young kid, trying to
find his way
·
through it," Martin
said. "He was stubborn and imma-
ture."
Martin says no one would have
blamed him for leaving. Four other
Red Foxes, Candon Rusin, Menelik
Watson, Sam Prescott, and Rob
Johnson ended up transferring out
ofMarist by the end of that year.
But Price has, as he said, a ''thing
for challenges," and won't give up
something he started.
In high school, coaches and play-
ers involved in Amateur Athletic
Union
(AAU)
basketball told Price
that if he wanted to be noticed by
Division I schools, he should trans-
fer from St. Bernard High School in
Playa Del Ray,
Calif.,
to
~
bigger
school with a more reputable bas-
ketball program. Price refused to
make the switch. He wanted to
prove the do
.
ubters wrong, and his
team that was ranked 13th in the
playoffs made a run to the champi-
onship game, beating out several of
the schools he was told to transfer
to.
While good results came on the
court, Price's college hopes were not
coming to fruition. He wanted to
stay cl<;>se to his home of Inglewood,
Calif., a city Price describes as a
"tough place-you got to be tough to
get out of there." But being around
his family and giving his parents
the opportunity to see him play was
important to him. However, this
dream did not work out, as he did
not receive a scholarship offer from
a California Division I school. Price
says this is why he wears the num-
ber zero on his jersey.
With no options in Southern Cal-
ifornia, Price ended up at Edison

son. The pair was found by former
Marist assistant Bashir Mason, who
is now the head coach at Wagner
College. After seeing the interest
Martin showed by attending several
games, Price turned down schools
like Stony Brook, Howard and
Delaware State to play with John-
son in Poughkeepsie.
Price was excited to play Division
I basketball, but he didn't expect
what happened during their fresh-
man season. The Red Foxes went 1-
29 in the 2009-2010 season, the
worst record in program history.
"Being
a freshman, I didn't know
what to expect. We were a hard
working team, we were just so
young and unprepared," Price said,
as he cites the struggle as a learn-
ing experience.
''I
couldn't have been
the player I am today without that
year. It teaches you to value every
single
win."
Price played in every game in
that season and was the second-
leading scorer on the team with 9.1
points per game.
As
the Red Foxes
had nowhere to go but up his soph-
omore year, Price seemed primed
for improvement and to be an inte-
gral part in the team's turnaround.
However, Price says, despite the
struggles of the first year, it was
sophomore year that proved to be
the most challenging.
A tweet Price sent out in the fall
of 2010 was featured in The Circle
'
and its language violated Martin's
pQ).icy. He sat out six games and
played under 10 minutes in another
five. Johnson, the player he came
from prep school to Marist with, had
transferred out at the end of the fall
semester. For the year as a whole,
is playing time dropped to 23.8 min-
utes per game and his points per
game fell by 1.9 to 7.2.
"Sophomore year was my hardest
year, mentally and emotionally,"
Price said. "Coming off of the fresh-
man year that I had, statistically, I
felt that I should be playing more. I
learned a lot, grew up that year."
After the season came the meet-
ing in which Martin told Price he
wouldn't play for him anymore.
Price went home for Easter break,
and upon returning to school, told
Martin he would be staying. Martin
wanted to make sure his parents
understood the situation.
"I spoke to his dad, and said 'I
want you to know he's probably not
going to play,m Martin said. "He
said Devin sat down with us and
ERIC VANDERVOORT/THE
CIRCLE
Devin Price has served as a captain for the Marist men's basketball team this season
and earlier this year scored his
1,000th
point as a a member
of
the Red Foxes.
'
he's real determined to prove you
wrong. When he decided that he
was going to stay, I knew at that
point that he was going to be a good
player because he had committed to
me."
Price, just like he did in high
school, refused to let someone else
determine his own fate.
"I took it as a challenge," Price
said. ''That whole summer I worked
and got better."
·
He put in at least four hours a
day, six days a week, of lifting,
shooting, dribbling, and more.
Mar-
tin, who was recruiting in Las
Vegas at one point over the sum-
mer, made a side trip to Inglewood
to meet with Price, and the two had
dinner.
''The relationship really took off,"
Martin said. "We talked a lot that
summer."
When Price returned to Marist
as a junior, he was one of four play-
ers left from the squad that went 1-
29. The Red Foxes were still a
young team, but expectations were
starting to rise. Marist went 14-18
in 2011-2012, and Price started all
32 games and was second on the
~earn in scoring at 14.3 points per
game. His performance was good
enough to be named All-MAAC
Third Team, just a year after being
told he should transfer.
Price's senior season has brought
more achievements and accolades.
He was named to the preseason All-
MAAC Third Team and scored his
1,000th career point on Dec. 7
against Manhattan. But the season
has come with obstacles, t~. Price
injured his ankle and missed two
games in January. He returned for-
three games, but he re-aggravated
the injury and was forced out of the
next four, including two wins
against Iona and Loyola. Watching
from the sidelines, especially in the
final month of his senior season
'
was difficult.
"It's been tough, because he's
such a competitor and he's worked
so hard to get to this point," Martin
said.
With senior day and the MAAC
tournament on the horizon, Martin
and Price agreed that it- was neces-
sary for him to sit out the earlier
games so that the injury did not
worsen, and he would have to miss
those important games. Price re-
turned to the court on Saturday in
_
Marist's high-powered 112-74 win
over VMI. He shot 7-8 from the field
and scored 20 points in 19 minutes
of play.
When Price steps onto the court
for Senior Day on Sunday, it
will
be
with both of his parents in atten-
dance for just the second time in his
college career. The first time was
the last home game of the season
last year, when he scored a career-
high 32 points in a win against Ni-
agara.
As
he wears the Marist white
in the McCann Arena for the final
time, this
will
be the culmination of
everything he worked for since high
school and proof that he made the
right decision to stay at Marist.
"It shows that hard work does
pay off," Price says. "These are
things that, it I don't play basket-
ball again after this year, I'll always
have with me. I'll always be a
Marist 1,000-point scorer and my
name will always
be
on the banner.
These are things that I am proud of,
and I will cherish for the rest of my

goal for the first 3:41 of the game.
However, Loyola would eventually
cut it to two in the early going.
As
we've seen so many times over
the course of this season, the Red
Foxes responded with a 15-2 run of
. their own, giving themselves a 27-9

The lead would stay in double

Begley powers men
-
's lax to Victory
By
RYAN CALVI
Staff Writer
On a cold and rainy day at Ten-
ney Stadium last Saturday~ the
Marist men's lacrosse team de-
feated Sacred Heart 15-12 to im-
prove to 2-0 on the season.
The weekend started off well for
the
Red
Foxes as last Friday, Marist
senior attack man Connor Rice was
named to the 2013 Tewaai'aton
Award Watch List for the second
consecutive season. The award is
presented to the nation's top male
and female collegiate lacrosse
player at the end of the year. Rice is
one of 92 males across all three di-
visions of men's lacrosse on watch to
win the award.
Marist's head coach Keegan
Wilkinson is extremely proud of his
senior for being recognized as one of
college lacrosse's best players.
'1t's a testament to all of his hard
work and it's an amazing honor.
Connor's done an unbelievable job
and it looks like this year he's ready
to go," Wilkinson said.
Despite this tremendous honor
for Rice, the Red Foxes were led by
midfielder Mike Begley's six-point
performance on Saturday. Begley
scored five goals and also had one
assist on the afternoon. The sopho-
more now has a team~high eight
goals on the season, which matches
his total from all of last year.
Begley was named MAAC Offen-
sive Player of the Week for his ef-
forts in Saturday's game as a result.
This is the second week in a row
that a Red Fox has won the award
as Rice won last week.
'1
think the chemistry of playing
with these guys for the past two
years and knowing where everyone
is going to be on the field has really
helped my game," Begley said of his
recent scoring streak.
The midfielder also credited Rice
for acting as a mentor in improving
his skills.
"He has an amazing lacrosse IQ
and it rubs off on everyone. He
makes everyone on the field a better
player," Begley said of Rice.
Aside from Begley's outstanding
game, Jack Doherty quietly posted
his second hat trick in as many
games this season, and added an as-
sist to finish with a four-point out-
ing. Gannon Osborn and Joseph
Radin both added two goals of their
own and Rice, Drew Nesmith and
Aedan Herman, all had one goal
apiece to round out the Marist scor-
ers.
Mike Mawdsley had a team-high
five goals for Sacred Heart, and
teammate Cody Marquis added two
as well.
The game had a great pace right
from the opening whistle. Exactly
two minutes in, Osborn gave Marist
(2-0) a 1-0 lead with the game's first
score. Nesmith then found the back
of the net to make it 2-0 off a feed
from senior captain Jimmy Marks
at the 11:44 marker.
Marquis would answer for Sacred
Heart (0-2) by scoring at 10:06 to
make the game 2-1 Marist.
The Red Foxes would outscore the
Pioneers 3-2 for the remainder of
the period and take a 5-3 lead into
the second quarter of play.
Three· minutes into the quarter,
Mawdsley netted his second of the
game for Sacred Heart to bring
them within one at 5-4.
However,
this would be the only goal of the pe-
riod for the Pioneers as the
·Foxes
played lock-down defense and
scored four more goals to take a 9-4
lead into halftime.
Following the break, Marist
seemed to put the game out ofreach
as they scored the halfs first three
goals to increase their lead to 12-4
with 8: 19 remaining in the third
quarter.
Mawdsley was able to break the
streak of seven straight goals for the
Foxes by scoring his third goal of
the contest to bring the game to 12-
5 Marist.
But just 35 seconds later, Rice
would score a breakaway goal on a
beautiful open-field pass from soph-
omore defenseman Patrick Eaker.
The play once again increased the
Foxes' lead to eight as they had all
the momentum of the game and
a
13-5 advantage on the scoreboard.
Sacred Heart refused to quit, as
they would then close out the quar-
ter on a 5-0
run to get right back
into the game and find themselves
down 13-10 heading into the fourth
and final quarter of play.
Wilkinson credited Sacred Heart
for their run.
"We knew they would fight back
because they're a great team.
Lacrosse
is
a sport where you see a
lot of those four or five goal spurts
and it's about limiting them to the
best of your ability. We wish we'd
handled it a little better but you live
and you learn," Wilkinson said.
Marist was able to regain control
of the game in the fourth as Begley
and Osborn both scored to extend
the lead to 15-10. Sacred Heart
would then score two more times
but wasn't able to mount a come-
back and the Foxes went on for the
15-12 triumph.
For the second consecutive game
sophomore goaltender Dave Scar-
cello got the start in net for Marist.
Scarcello made 10 saves on.the af-
ternoon, including a sold five in the
second quarter.
Marist will hit the road for the
first time this year as they visit Eas-
ton, Pa., for a matchup against
Lafayette (2-2). The Red Foxes de-
feated the Leopards last season in
overtime, 11-10 in Poughkeepsie.
"They [Lafayette] have a new
coaching staff who has done a nice
job with those guys so far,
so
we're
expecting a battle," Wilkinson said.
"Every game in Division I is a battle
so we're going to have a great week
of preparation and look forward to
another great game on Saturday."
B as e b a 11 splits Sunday doubleheader
By
JOE FITZHENRY
I think, was a benefactor of not
Staff Writer
being outside and not playing
This past Sunday the Marist Col-
lege baseball team split a double-
header
with
the
Charleston
Southern Bucs in Charleston, S.C.
The team lost the first game 9-0 but
rebounded and won the second by a
final score of 2-1.
Typically, college baseball teams
based out of the Northeast head
south to escape the weather and
allow themselves to take the field in
great conditions. They do this while
their home field remains unplayable
for the time being.
The catch? That hasn't exactly
been the case for the Red Foxes over
the first two weeks of the season.
Thus far, Marist has seen a game
postponed due to snow and had an
originally scheduled three-game
se-
ries reduced to two seven-inning
contests this past Sunday after-
noon.
"It was tough for us to get into
any sort of rhythm. The first game,

enough. We made some mental mis-
takes that are repetition
based,
with guys playing new positions,"
Marist head coach Chris Tracz said.
''The second ga~e, we made
pitches when we needed to and
there were definitely some posi-
tives.
It
was a good end to a tough
weekend," Tracz said.
Game one of the double-dip fea-
tured some very strong pitching
from the Bucs as Ryan Gunther
fired six scoreless frames and held
Marist (2-2) to just five hits. Marist
sophomore catcher Mark Brennan
had two of those hits as he went 2-3
at the dish.
A pair
·
of early runs from CSU (4-
3) had the scoreboard reading 2-0
before the hosts plated four runs in
the fifth and three more in the sixth
to account for the final score. Chase
Shelton drove in four of those nine
runs, including a bases-clearing
double in the sixth, one of six dou-
bles of the afternoon for the Bucs.
Brett
Houseal
was charged with
the loss for Marist, as the senior al-
lowed five earned runs in 4.1 in-
nings of work while striking out
four.
"I'm really not worried about
Brett, he's been through the fire and
been through every type of situa-
tion. I'm looking for things to click
for him sooner rather than later,"
Tracz said.
Looking for a strong bounce-back
performance in the night cap, Kevin
McCarthy provided just that as the
Malverne,
N.Y.,
native permitted
just one run on four hits while strik-
ing out four in a complete game vic-
tory. McCarthy threw 54 of his 77
pitches for strikes.
"Kevin did an outstanding job. He
made pitches in those tough in-
nings. He did a great job of control-
ling the running game and I
thought the seventh inning was his
best," Tracz said:
CSU started the scoring in the
third; but the Red Foxes quickly re-
sponded with the tying run in the
top half of the fourth, as Eric Helm-
rich was hit by a pitch and came
around to score on a pair of singles
by Brennan and freshman Joey
Aiola.
Marist would take the lead for
good in the top of the fifth as fresh-
man Matt Pagano, singled, moved
to third on a single by Zach Shank
and scored what would prove to be
the
decisive
run on a successful sac-
rifice bunt by Nick McQuail. Pagano
would later be named MAAC Fresh-
man of the Week for his efforts.
McCarthy allowed just one per-
son to reach base over the final two
innings, slamming the door shut
and giving his team their second
victory of the young season.
Marist will return to action this
weekend as they travel to Johnson
City, Tenn., to take on East Ten-
nessee State in a three-game series.
First pitch times for the weekend
are scheduled for 3:05 p.m. on Fri-
day, 4:05 p.m. on Saturday and 1:05
p.m. in the series finale on Sunday.

need to ask yourself, 'how focused
can you be the last

It
was great to see the
guys settle down, stick with the
game plan; and have composure."
With only two games remaining
in the regular season, Marist (8-20,
4-12)
will try to turn a disappoint-
ing season into a memorable one.
Martin said that the team must
focus on the now and not the past.
"One of the things we talked
about two days ago was forgetting
about the first two months of the
season. The season comes down to
six games," Martin said, referencing
the end of the regular season and
four games in the MAAC Tourna-
ment. ''Let's make it a six-game sea-
son, and right now we are 1-0. Don't
worry about the last two months.
Just focus on the next 16 days."

Notes
Marist ended BracketBusters play
with a 5-3 all-time record, including
4-1 under Martin and 4-0 at the Mc-
Cann Arena .... The team's 38-point
margin of victory was the program's
largest since Jan. 21, 1995 when
Marist defeated St. Francis

fifth conference award of his career,
and his second this year .... The Red
Foxes will take on Siena tonight on
the road at 7:00 p.m. The Saints are
7-21 overall, and are tied with
Marist with a 4-12 record in the
MAAC.

Staff Writer
The closest Rider would get for
For the better part of the last
decade or so, the Marist women's
basketball team is used to having a
target on their back. That's what
comes with 10 straight MAAC regu-
lar season titles and seven consecu-
tive MAAC Tournament titles, not
to mention just one regular season
MAAC loss in the past three sea-
sons.
The quest for a perfect record in
the MAAC rolled on this past week-
end, as Marist defeated visiting
Rider by a score of 69-44 on Friday
night, and on Sunday beat Loyola,
79-55, in the final MAAC regular
season game between the two
teams.
Friday's game was the annual
Pack the House game at McCann,
and a white-clad crowd saw the Red
Foxes dominate. Casey Dulin led
the way for the Red Foxes with 25
points, including going 3-5 from
deep while Elle Beynnon added 14
points and six rebounds.
''It was an excellent game by our
players. We had another hot team
coming in. It was kind of scary
early, since we were matching
shots. Finally, we dug in and got
some stops and did a great job on
the defensive boards," head coach
Brian Giorgis said.

got my opportunity to show the
coaches I still want to play, it helped
a lot and I feel good so hopefully I
can keep being consistent," Gomez
said.
Trailing 11-10 early on, the

he has done many times this season, player was available to play. The gle for the Red Foxes, particularly
in late games. Towards the end of
the first half, VMI went on a 19-6
run to cut the deficit going into the
locker room. With the momentum
starting to swing in favor of the
Keydets, Martin made sure his
team would not lose its composure
this time.
Maybe this team should put in a
petition for a name change.
After Saturday night's game
against VMI, the Marist men's bas-
ketball team put so many points on
the scoreboard that no one would've
thought differently if the team de-
cided to call themselves the ''Run-
ning Red Foxes."
That is what happens when a
team puts together its highest point
total in 19 years. People start to
look at a team a little bit differently.
Marist rolled to a 112-79 victory
over VMI at the McCann Arena, as
part of the Ramada Worldwide
BracketBusters event. It was the
second time this season that the
Red Foxes amassed 100 points in a
game, having done so on Feb. 7
against Iona, a 105-104 double-over-
time victory.
The 112 points were the highest
that a Marist team had scored since
1994, and marked the first time
that the Red Foxes scored 100
points twice in a season since the
1995-1996 season.
After losing their previous two
games, the Red Foxes suddenly
found their scoring touch and went
off on the Keydets, who themselves
ranked 13th in the nation with 77 .6
points per game.
