New dining hall unveiled to Marist students
&
community
By
JENNA GRANDE
Managing Edit.-Or
During freshmen orientation in
June, orientation leaders promised
students that the construction they
saw and had
to work around would
be worth it
.
"During orientation, I was probably
more excited about how the dining
hall
would look than the incoming
freshmen were," junior Jenna Miller
said.
Flash forward to August 26, 2013.
After a delayed opening that Sunday
morning, the dining hall officially
opened its doors for dinner (and the
semester). Students that had been
monitoring the dining hall's renova-
tions through Marist's online up-
dates on
http://www.marist.edu/about/con-
struction/ had
an
idea of what
to ex-
pect,
but those who were completely
clueless were
floored
with the
changes that had occurred since
May.
"It was definitely a shock, neing a
senior, after I had been using the
dining hall for so long. It is so differ-
ent and so much nicer. I wish it had
been like this for most of our time
here," senior Marissa Josub said:
According to General Manager Mo-
hamad Charafeddine, during the
first week of classes there was a
huge influx of students increasing
their meal plans that would allow
them more swipes per week. The
renovations stunned students and
faculty alike who could not believe
the phy3ical changes and the atmos-
phere

"All the work Marist did definite!
that students appeared to be enjoy-
ing themselves now more than ever.
She also noted that the aesthetic
changes provide her with a much
nicer work environment.

tions, and kids are much happier

clean environment" and the fact they
could see their food as it was being
prepared enhanced their affinity for
the dining hall.
Charafeddine spoke to these testi-
monies with a distinct fondness and
pride about the renovations and the
positive feedback he has received
about the new dining hall. Charafed-
dine stressed that the dining
hall
and services
is
committed
to ~uying
locally grown food, promoting
sus-
tainability and putting only the best
food out for students.
''I
am very excited because the new
dining
hall
looks and feels good. We
are
making our food on a "cooked to
order" concept, sort of like a restau-
rant. The response from students
is
incredible and amazing. They feel so
good about the service and what we
are offering. It
is
a spectacular din-
ing hall. We are
so
excited and cook-
ing so much more," Charafeddine
said.
The dining hall
has
extraordinary
green features that Charafeddine
cannot wait to display to students.
The dining
hall
has a vision of being
eco-friendly and staying involved in
the local community for its needs
and services.
Students
are relieved to finally
have a chance to enjoy a part of the
new renovations. Freshman Kelly
Smith said it best.
The dining hall staff
is
pleased
with the changes not only to their
working environment, but with the
students' attitudes toward
dining
services in general. Tracia Hibbert, a
dining
hall staff member, explained

Welcome Week proves to be success for Class of 2017
By
SHAWNA

News Edit.-Or
As
the student body has officially
embarked on the 2013-2014 school
year, a new class of Red Foxes has
joined the Mari.st community.
Courtesy of First Year Programs,
the freshmen class has success-
fully acclimated to college life
through annual Welcome We~k ac-
tivities.
This past week offered a full itin-
erary of events, all for the purpose
of encouraging the freshmen to
bond with their peers. Kait Smith,
First Year Programs' coordinator
and mentor for Leo Hall, describes
the mission behind the program.
'Welcome Week is the continua-
tion of the Orientation program
that my office runs in June,"
Smith said. "Bearing that in mind,
the program is designed to help
freshmen connect with the people,
programs and possibilities offered
by the Marist campus. This means
connecting them with other first-
year students on a social level and
connecting them with various cam-
pus offices on an academic level.
We work in a very close partner-
ship with College Activities, who
works hard to plan social events
every night of welcome week. At
the same time, we work with vari-
ous offices around campus to get
them some face-time with first-
year students, who we hope
will
take advantage of all that office
has
to
offer over the next four
years."
On Saturday, Aug. 24, students
were greeted by hundreds of vol-
unteers to assist them with mov-
ing in. Welcome
Week
officially
kicked off to a great start with a
barbeque on the campus green, of-
fered for students and their fami-
lies. During the evening hours a
series of lectures were given. Pres-
ident Murray, Student Govern-
ment, the Office of Student Affairs,
and the Office of Academic Affairs
all gave encouraging words to the
new class of Red Foxes.
The following day held the theme
of "Beyond the Classroom," involv-
ing various information sessions
about academic services and re•
sources that students can access.
The Academic Learning Center,
Career Services, and Marist Inter-
national Programs were some of
several departments that the
freshmen benefitted from. Another
educational program, titled "A
Common Read Conversation" in-
vited an open table discussion on
the required summer reading,
"The Immortal Life of Henrietta
Lacks."
One of the highlights from Wel-
come Week was the annual "Red
Fox Rumble." The freshmen class
was divided up into different color
teams. Leo and Champagnat
dorms served as their own respec-
tive teams, while Marian and
Sheahan joined forces, and trans-
fer and commuter students united
into their own team as well. Stu-
dents successfully got into the
competitive spirit and participated
in different games and prizes. The
day ended with a highly antici-
pated fireworks display that show-
cased the campus green and
Hudson River.
A major success from Welcome
Week was the student passport
program. While some of the events
during the week required manda-
tory attendance, others served as
opportunities for freshmen to gain
stamps on their passports.
If a stu-
dent collected seven stamps, then
their name could be entered into a
raffle drawing for some valuable
prizes. Some of these included a
semester's worth of books, tea with

SPC Fall Concert: The Cataracs
&
The White Panda
By
SHAWNA GILLEN
News Editor
The Student Programming Coun-
cil announced the acts that will be
performing for the fall 2013 con-
cert. SPC revealed that on Tues-
day, Sept. 26, The White Panda
and The Cataracs are the artists
that will take the stage in Marist's
McCann Arena. SPC is excited
about this latest concert reveal, in
that they aim to address an overar-
ching trend in music interests
among the Marist community.
Every semester SPC meets to
discuss plans to bring an act to
Marist campus. The board puts a
series of names of artists and acts
into a pool, of different genres they
think
will appeal to the Marist
community. Prior to the first week
of classes, SPC deliberated during
training week to discuss and brain-
storm their options. Based on a fi-
nancial budget allotted to the
college every year, a final decision
can then be made. This past spring

the highly acclaimed Goo Goo Dolls
performed at the Riverfront Park.
Based on the impressive atten-
dance and positive feedback from
the student body, SPC was eager
to
get to work to pick the next
artist for the fall semester.
SPC member Christy Cintron ex-
plains the decision-making process
that the board follows each semes-
ter.
''We sent out a survey in the
spring and it had questions asking
things like
:
''What kind of concerts
have you attended? What kind of
genre of music would you like to
see in the fall? What did you think
of the spring concert? and lastly
What could we improve on?,Cin-
tron said.
Based on the survey, there was
an overwhelming response from
the student body in regards to
fa-
voring EDM genre (Electronic
Dance Music). With that in mind,
the artist selection was a reflection
of the changing music trends
among students.
''We wanted to bring in bigger
names because we know that
draws more people in. When we
found the two groups, we thought
that they would mesh well to-
gether, and that the student body
wouid enjoy the electronic, DJ
theme," Cintron said.
The Cataracs is a DJ duo that
has made their way onto the music
scene by producing popular cltib-
tracks. They are responsible for
discovering rapper and singer Dev.
Their biggest recognition is for
their production of the track ''Like
a G6" featuring the artist Far East
Movement, which even made No.
l
at the top of the Billboard charts.
As
for The White Panda, they are
also a pair of DJs that specialize in
producing mashups. They have
performed at various music festi-
vals, including the likes of Bam-
boozle, Lollapalooza and Electric
Zoo. They have received significant
traffic on their Y ouTube Channel
as well the music social media site
SoundCloud.
In
addition, they
have toured with the likes of Mac
Miller, Steve Aoki and Gym Class
Heroes.
Based on the backgrounds of
both these artists, and the high at-
tendance of the Goo Goo Dolls con-
cert, SPC is hopeful to see similar
numbers this time around.
''We are all really excited about
the upcoming concert" said Cin-
tron.
''We think its going to be very
successful and a lot of fun. Hope-
fully the students will enjoy the at-
mosphere we are trying to create."
Tickets
will go on sale at noon,
Tuesday, Sept. 10 at College Activ-
ities. For any updates, check SPC's
official Facebook page

How to survive living off campus at Marist
By
ROBERT
CROSSLEY
Circle Contributor
So here you are. What have you
gotten yourself into?
If
only you had
participated in a few more clubs or
studied just a little bit harder, than
maybe you would have a nice little
room in an apartment on Upper
West Cedar.
What is that you say? Marist
Housing screwed you? Well, that
makes sense. I guess you'll just have
to stick it out in a dorm or some-
thing. Good luck.
But wait! There is an alternative
solution to this con·undrum. You
could venture forth from the safety
and comfort of campus, and grab a
place of your own.
Marist is located in a city after all,
and you could finally be rid of that
ity with you at its center. Nope, in
Poughkeepsie there isn't much in
the way of rhyme or reason. Gone
is the structured day-to-day famil-
iarity of student life on campus.
You'll still have to study and at-
tend classes, but you will probably
also have to work
to make your way.
To be sure, life will be different.
Don't let that discourage you
though! Living in the city affords
you the chance to experience a life
of self-reliance·.
To give you a little help though,
here is a list of tips that will help
ease you in to the lifestyle of becom-
ing a Poughkeepsie local.
As
Mugatu from the 2001 comedy
Zoolander once said, ''Let.me show

criminated against your commuter
status and left you to fend for your-
self.
Yes, you
will
have to go apartment
hunting one day in the future any-
way, so now seems about as good a
time as ever to strike out on your
own.
I'll let you in on a secret though.
Poughkeepsie is a vortex of absurd-
First, when asked if you know,
and/or are meeting "the guy," reply
that you have no knowledge of such
a person before bidding your in-

goodnight. There are sev-
eral occupations that "the guy"
could conceivably be involved in and
none of them
are
good, judging by
the look of the frightening gentle-
man who proposed you the question.

table deeds that one can engage in
besides giving money to the home-
less. Giving spare change to beg-
gars on the street is like playing a
weird game of slots. It is possible to
be shown a jackpot of genuine
human gratitude, but you are more
likely to end up with one tooth, a
wink, and a head full of confused
memones.
Third, churches abound in the city
of Poughkeepsie, but the most life
affirming moments of spirituality
can be found
on
the streets where
the prophets of grunge preach the
good word on a hard pulpit of a hard
life. Fourth, there must be some-
thing in the water here besides E.
coli.
Fifth, the most
difficult
aspect of
living
off
campus that
one
must ad-
just to is the need to cut back on
amenities that most of us have come
to rely on. Cable is the first thing to
go. Forget about AC in the summer
and heating in the winter. It's time
to get primitive. Central Hudson
can bleed you like a goat before a
Zambian cook out, and it
will.
Keep
the lights off and the showers brief.
To quote the words of Poughkeepsie
native Thomas Guerreri, ''We're me-
dieval and we smell like it."
Sixth, having no cable can be a
blessing. I suppose it can lend itself
to a more studious lifestyle, but
most likely is
will
only force you to
come up with more creative ways to
procrastinate. Don't underestimate
the entertainment value of people
watching in Poughkeepsie. There
are some interesting folk out there.
Seventh, there are more feral cats
in Poughkeepsie than there are peo-
ple. Don't feed them.
Eighth, learn to cook. This is an
essential skill regardless of where
you live. Alexx's Diner is nice and
so is Pete's World Famous Cafe, but
your funds will evaporate quickly
and needlessly if you rely too much
on eating out.
There will be
mishaps and you may grow weary of
pasta and chicken, but it will all be
worth it in the end when you can in-
vite guests over and put together a
dinner for champions.
And lastly, public transit and a
good pair of walking shoes will be-
come your primacy means of trans-
portation, so lace up and grab a
good book.
Master chef cooking without breaking budget
By
ROSE
SHANNON
Circle Contributor
When transitioning from a fresh-
man to an upperclassman, there are a
few changes students
will
have to deal
with. One of the most prevalent
changes upperclassmen face is going
from relying on the cafeteria for all of
their meals, to now having to rely on
their own cooking ability.
For some students, having to cook
and prepare their own meals is not
something new, while for others,
gro-
cery
shopping
and cooking for them-
selves is a whole new territory. For
those students in the second category,
fear not. Before one even steps foot
into a grocery store, the most impor-
tant thing to do is have a game plan
and be prepared.
First, create a list of what foods you
will
be buying and the quantity, either
on paper or using a smartphone ap-
plication. According to fulltyhemstu-
dent.com, the more often students
write down a list and plan their pur-
chases, the less likely they'll be to
im-
pulsively purchase items. They
will
also be less likely to forget something.
Besides making a list, students
should also plan a budget.
The site suggests that students de-
cide on how much they are willing to
spend before leaving home, and that
they only bring the exact amount of
money needed based on that budget
plan.
If
a student wants to only spend
$25, they should only bring that
amount with them.
Students should
also be thinking
about how to save as much as possi-
ble when shopping. Some money sav-
ing suggestions are taking the shuttle
on the weekends and shopping at ei-
ther Target or Stop and Shop. For ex-
ample, a semester pass to take the
shuttle
will
only cost students five dol-
lars.
Other money saving tips include
taking advantage of coupons and
weekly sales, printing out online
coupons, or checking out the weekly
on flyers before heading out.
"Students
should get a Stop and
Shop card because then they can save
money and get gas points," sophomore
Juliana Perciavalle said.
Once students have :finished plan-
ning ahead, it's finally shopping time.
Some shopping suggestions for stu-
dent are to buy in bulk what you like
to eat, don't buy something you are
not likely to eat, and to look into
frozen meals that take minutes to
make. Sophomore Skyler Henry also
has a helpful tip about produce. ''Don't
buy produce unless it's in season, be-
cause otherwise it
will
be more ex-
pensive," Henry says.
When students are ready to check
out, use the self-check registers. By
checking out one's own order, stu-
dents
will
be able to see exactly how
much they are getting for their
money.
As
you progress, you
will
see
what food actually costs and the
breakdown of coupons. Then at the
end of your purchase, save your re-
ceipt! By saving your receipt, you can
better keep track of your expenses.
Once the shopping is done, it is time
to start cooking and while cooking can
seem challenging, it really isn't. Here
are a few simple tips to remember
when cooking for one. Remember, you
are not a trained chef, so
start
off
with
the basics-sandwiches,
salads,
and
pasta.
If
you get a little bored with the
basics, look online for easy college
student recipes. There are tons of
websites geared towards students,
with recipes that anyone can pull
off. Another great tip is to invest in
a grill pan. Grilling is one of the eas-
iest ways to cook any protein or veg-
etable and is also a quick way to
make a healthy dinner.
If
all else
fails, go with ramen.

Marist student attends Media Scholars Week
By
CAROLINE CROCCO
Circle Contributor
It was a warm and sunny April
morning; I could almost hear the
sounds of crashing
_
ocean waves
coming from the Marist Beach when
I
realized that
I
had a voicemail on
my cell-phone. I didn't think a call
from my cousin who was a junior at
Notre Dame University at the time
was anything out of the ordinary,
but what he said in the voicemail
was probably the last thing
I
ever
expected him to say.
My cousin told me that he had en-
tered a national media planning
scholarship competition and after
two qualifying rounds, he and his
partner were selected to compete in
the final round of the competition in
Washington, D.C. later in the sum-
mer. Just a few days earlier his
partner resigned from the competi-
tion and he was in need of a re-
placement.
with my very own eyes.
On June 8th, my cousin and_ I flew
to Washington, D.C. and began our
adventure at Media Scholars Week.
A total of 236 people entered the
competition, but only six teams of
two qualified for the finals in Wash-
ington. The teams hailed from Uni-
versity of South Carolina, Beloit
College, University of Wisconsin-
Madison, Notre Dame, Princeton,
ideals of hard-work, dedication, and
passion for the worlds of media, pol-
itics, advertising, and innovation.
While each company climbed to the
top of the industry in a different
way,
and although they all had
their own specialty focuses and fea-
tures, each executive provided ex-
tremely valuable insight on how to
succeed in following your dreams. I
went into Media Scholars Week ex-

the nation's capital and a scholar-
ship was on the line! I encouraged
him to ask an older student. I was
just a freshman business major; I
could barely concentrate on getting
through my
8
A.M. classes, let alone
designing a media plan!
After a lot of consideration and
hesitation, I realized that this was
a once in a lifetime opportunity, and
it might help me decide which major
to pursue, as I was pretty much suf-
fering from a mid-life "what am I
going to
be
when I grow up" crisis at
the time.
The weeks flew by and before I
knew it, June had arrived and I was
spending my late nights on
Wikipedia, (and other credible web-
sites of course,) working on our
PowerPoint presentation, learning
about marketing strategies, and
thinking about the booming media
industry that I was about to see
and of course, Marist. Throughout
the week, we spent our nights at
amazing events including a Wash-
ington Nationals' baseball game, an
elegant dinner at the City Tavern
Club in Georgetown, networking re-
ceptions, and trips into Alexandria,
VA,
and D.C. itself.
Our days were extremely busy and
served as great preparation for the
"real world." Each day we woke up
at 5:30 A.M., dressed in business at-
tire, and toured many of Washing-
ton's chief media outlets. We
explored the United States Capitol
building with NBC and CBS corre-
spondents, and had meetings with
executives at organizations includ-
ing National Media, NBC4, ABC7
News, the Washington Post, the Na-
tional Journal, POLITICO, the
Daily Caller, and CQ Roll Call.
Each office told a different story,
but they all embodied the constant
tremely nervous because my politi-
cal knowledge was pretty much
kindergarten-level.
At the time,
I
knew a few differ-
ences between democrats and re-
publicans, (like I said, Wikipedia is
pretty useful...) but beyond that, I
was pretty much in the dark in the
political realm. However, nearly
every piece of advice the executives
gave
us
was applicable to any type
of industry.
A key piece of advice we heard
throughout the week is to figure out
what the public wants, and put your
heart and soul into satisfying them.
I recorded all of my insights from
the· week in an interview notebook
and
will
keep it forever. The knowl-
-
edge and encouragement I gained
from this experience is absolutely ir-
replaceable, and the people who
gave it to me are just as inspiring
and unforgettable.
On our last day, we presented our
media plan presentations to a panel
of judges at the Knight Studio at the
Newseum. Several hours later, we
celebrated at a networking recep-
tion with about 400 executives from
the industry who support the Wash-
ington Media Scholars Foundation,
and gained contacts who can help
us
on our journey of career soul-search-
ing. Looking over the city of D.C.
from the 7th floor terrace of the
Newseum, I realized I was so ex-
cited to see what the world had in
store for me, and what else was out
there for me to discover.
Above all, this week taught me to
take risks and take advantage of
every opportunity. I will never for-
get this incredible experience and I
am so grateful that I was a part of
it.
While I originally hoped to find a
definite career path to follow, I am
still a business major with an unde-
cided concentration. However, I now
realize that you don't have to have
an exact plan carved into stone.
Sometimes just having passion for
learning and broadening your hori-
zons is most important, and from
there, you will find your way. After
coming home, I also made a per-
sonal goal to learn more about poli-
tics because as I learned during the
week, we are the future of tomor-
row. On another note, the future of
the Washington Media Scholars
Foundation is approaching soon!
This program is a fabulous way
for college students to learn about
the media industry, politics, adver-
tising, public relations, networking,
and so much more. It truly is the ex-
perience of a lifetime, and in addi-
tion, it brings a great deal of
attention to Marist's name, as the
Washington Post was so kind to fea-
ture Marist in an advertisement in
June.
Registration for the 2014 case com-
petition and Media Scholars Week
opens on November 14th! Hope to
see more Red Foxes in Washington
next year!
New government website helps students become healthier
By
BRITTANY OXLEY
Features Editor
After a blissful summer of going to
the beach and spending hours of
your day in the sun, it has now all
come to a quick end.
Welcome back to your next fall se-
mester at Marist, where your day
will now be consumed with ex-
tracurricular activities, internships,
part time jobs, classes, homework,
and more. That means hello busy
days, and goodbye to all of that free
time you had only weeks before.
However, it also means possibly
saying hello to the dreaded fresh-
man fifteen or maybe even the
freshman twenty, regardless if you
are even still a freshman or not.
With all of these new activities
now bombarding your schedule,
time spent eating healthily and
even participating in some sort of
physical activity is going to become
harder to schedule.
Luckily, for all of you out there
who want to eat healthy and find a
way to still somehow participate in
some physical activity throughout
the week but don't know how, I am
proud to tell you that there is a so•
lution. I introduce you to www.su-
pertracker.usda.gov. Although at
first intimidating when you first
look at the website due to its many
options to choose from, once you get
the hang of it, using the site actu-
ally becomes quite easy!
First things first, when you go to
the website, create a free profile.
After that, you're pretty much ready
to go, and can choose from a lot of
options.
These options include creating a
list of goals you want to make about
your health and fitness, where the
site's virtual coach will help you
until you reach them.
As
you
.
continue to use this, the
site actually tracks whether or not
you are meeting your goals, and
how you are doing over time.
You can also track all of your
physical activity, track the foods
you eat, and compare those foods to
the nutrition goals you set for your-
self. Those are only a few of the op-
tions this site gives you to help you
stay healthy on campus.
The truth is, being so busy all of
the time, and not being able to ex-
ercise or eat healthy, is unhealthy
for everyone. To help motivate your-
self, think of eating healthy and ex-
ercising as you would about
brushing your teeth or taking a
shower. You wouldn't go for days
not brushing your teeth or taking a
shower, so don't go for days not ex-
ercising or eating healthily either.
To make it easier, plan your busy
schedule a.round when you want to
exercise or eat a healthy meal, just
as you would about taking a shower
or brushing your teeth.
And with this new website, doing
all of these things inakes it that
much easier. It's like you have your
own personal fitness coach and nu-
tritionist all packed in your com-
puter.
Therefore, there are no excuses
anymore for being unhealthy. Your
health is extremely important, and
sometimes your health habits that
you develop for yourself as a college
student, will stick with you into
your postgraduate self as well.
Be sure to create good health
habits now, your body and mind
will
thank you for it.

Staff Writer
It's that time of year again.
School has begun, there is a chill
in the air, and fall fashion is on

your familiar go-to stores, you can
still get a head start on fall fash-
ion here at Marist.
Just seven miles down Route 9
is the Poughkeepsie Galleria.
This mall is filled with fabulous
fall statement pieces that can be
incorporated into any wardrobe.
Not only are these stores up-to-
date on the trends of the season,
but are also affordable for college
students.

Tips to help you land your dream internship
ByAMBER~
Staff Writer
It is never too early to begin
looking for internship opportuni-
ties here at Marist. Even
if
you do
not have enough credits, get
ahead of the game by researching
places where you would like to in-
tern and seeing if Marist has any
connections to the company. Stu-
dents of any age are welcome to
attend the many events sponsored
by Career Services during the
school year, despite the number of
academic credits, and are encour-
aged to do so.
In the fall and spring, an in-
ternship fair is held where re-
cruiters who have a connection
with Marist come to meet prospec-
tive interns and employees.
To attend, you are required to
bring a resume and preferably
wear business attire so that you
are taken seriously by recruiters.
There is a wide range of compa-
nies that come to the fair includ-
ing Bank of America, IBM and
MSG. A full list of recruiters is
available at www.marist.edu/ca-
reerservices in the online Career
Guide.
Students are often nervous to
begin the internship search sim-
ply because of a lack of experi-
ence. The Marist College Career
Center offers many programs and
services to help you start the
process successfully. Develop a re-
lationship with a career counselor
and when you begin to feel com-
fortable, he or she could help re-
lease your information to employ-
ers who may want to hire you.
Internships exist within the
Marist community as well, so
chances are you may not have to
look too far to get your foot in the
door.
The information released to po-
.
tential employers includes a re-
sume and cover letter. Career
Services can help you to perfect
these items, but taking the one-
credit Career Development course
offered each semester can also be
greatly beneficial. In this course,
you will learn how to create the
ideal resume with relevant infor-
mation that employers will want
to see. A cover letter is an extra
way to sell oneself and stand out
from a crowd of other college stu-
dents vying for the same position.
Using social networking sites
can also keep you informed about
potential internship opportuni-
ties. Linkedln is a great network-
ing website that allows college
students to create alumni connec-
tions that will help them to gain
an understanding of what poten-
tial employers are seeking in their
prospective employees. Through
the email alerts, you can stay on
top of the different positions aris-
ing every single day from the com-
panies with which you become
linked.
·
The one aspect of getting an in-
ternship that students find most
daunting is the interview process.
However intimidating it may

seem, a good interview is usually
what secures your job. That is why
it is important t.o become a good
interviewee.
If
you are lucky enough to be of-
fered an interview, it is impera-
tive that you do your research.
Employers like to see applicants
who have taken
an
interest in the
company to which they are apply-
ing. Develop a general under-
standing of the history of the
company and its mission, as well
as an idea of the position you are
interviewing for.
Come to the interview prepared
with questions for the inter-
viewer. This will also show that
you have a real interest in landing
the internship. However, avoid
questions about the pay or any
other aspect of the position that is
not related to your ability to per-
form the job well. The goal is to
make a good impression with your
communication skills and unique
personality.
For those who are nervous about
his or her interviewing skills, at-
tend Mock Interview Day. It is
great practice and can relieve
some of the pressure felt during a
real interview. You will receive
feedback from your interviewer
which
will help you to improve for
next time.

Students share housing with cockroaches
By
SHEPFORD GORDON
Circle Contributor
There are many things wrong with
the Marist Housing System, but one
that most students probably don't
know about is cockroaches: big,
brown, nasty, Lower Fulton inhab-
iting cockroaches. Instead of living
in Lower Fulton, students who
earned high priority points are
forced to live in Talmadge, the hous-
ing usually inhabited by students
with the lowest priority points.
"I am usually not creeped out, but
I definitely did not want to stay in
my room after seeing four cock-
roaches crawling over my desk
while doing homwork," said Andrew
Lohr, a senior. "The only thing
Marist did was give us a Talmadge
key."
Senior Jeff Scott, another resident
of Lower Fulton had similar experi-
ence.
''We've found roaches and their
droppings (both varying in sizes) in
all rooms of the house and in the re-
frigerators, the freezers, the cabi-
nets, our bedroom closets and pretty
much everywhere else you wouldn't
want bugs to be," Scott said.
Cockroaches are extremely
diffi-
cult to
kill
and require a trained ex-
terminator
with
the
proper
equipment to ensure the problem is
dealt with. But Marist students
have had to take on the role of ex-
terminator themselves
.
"We've lost a lot of money from
buying Raid and throwing away
food from our cabinets," said Cohr.
According to another angry stu-
dent, ''Marist housing is totally ig-
noring the problem. They did bring
in an "exterminator" to try and
make it seem like they did some-
thing, but the roaches are still there
and kicking. It didn't do anything."
Cockroaches live where the food
is, and since the inhabitants of the
infested house have abandoned liv-
ing there, the cockroaches will look
for their food elsewhere, namely,
other apartments in Lower Fulton.
If
not dealt with soon, cockroaches
could spread to more Lower Fulton
apartments looking for food.
Another Fulton resident expressed
concern, saying, "I'm worried that
the cockroaches will spread to my
house, but there
'
s nothing I can do
about it. I have to wait and hope
that Marist calls an exterminator,
but from what I've heard, they've
just been ignoring the problem. I
don't know why they are. This could
turn into a huge problem."
Cockroaches can spread through
heating and
air
conditioning vents,
as well as piping to other Lower
Fulton apartments. Furthermore,
cockroaches can lay eggs in insula-
tion and other parts of the house,
which is an even more costly process
to remove than a simple extermina-
tion.
Marist prides itself on its upper
classmen housing, but that pride
may turn to shame
if
a quarter of
their housing is infested with the

Cyrus' VMA performance sparks controversy
By
BRIANN NEWMAN
Circle Contributor
Unless you have an aversion to so-
cial networking sites or reside
under a rock, you have probably
heard about Miley C~s• VMA per-
formance on Sunday, Aug. 25. The
performance, which consisted of
poorly executed twerking and the
inappropriate use of a foam finger,
has been a hot topic in the world of
entertainment news.
The performance has received its
fair share of feedback, some sup-
porting Miley in her decision, but
most claiming that the performance
was trashy and that Miley has lost
her mind.
I myself, who was a huge Miley
Cyrus fan since she was portraying
the double persona of Miley Stewart
and Hannah Montana, am ashamed
to admit that I ever considered her
one of my role models.
This down ward spiral in the be-
havior of child stars seems to be a
recurring trend in Hollywood. Why
do so many girls who become
fa-
mous at a young age, take turns for
the worse, getting involved in sub-
stance abuse and creating a nega-
tive image for themselves?
Miley is not the first to go from
Disney princess to deranged drug
addict in a short all)ount of time.
Some of the female stars to fall prey
to this path before her include Lind-

say Lohan, Amanda Bynes, even
sweet little Stephanie Tanner from
Full House, actress Jodie Sweetin.
All of these stars had hit movies or
television series, and promising fu-
tures in the business, but something
caused them all to turn to drugs and
acting out.
Is it the pressure of being in the
public eye 24/7? Is it the need to be
a normal, rebellious young adult,
like many regular people are? Is
their behavior that different from
people who are not in the public
eye?
·
For the most part behavior like
Miley's is not that different from
what you would see kids her age
doing at a college party, but because
millions of people can see her doing
it, it becomes an issue. In my opin-
ion, Miley is just trying to live out
.
the rebellious teen years she lost as
an employee of the clean-cut image
of Disney in short amount of time.
After
all,
she isn't attending college,
a place where such wacky behavior
is barely even acknowledged or just
blamed on a drunken night.
Although Miley is just trying to
enjoy her youth, her performance
and actions, as well as those of other
famous females, do have a major
impact on the audience of young
girls that are watching. Stars like
Miley, who get away with such in-
appropriate actions show girls that
it is okay to act those ways, whether
they are dressing in revealing
clothes or becoming involved in sub-
stance abuse. Does society really
want all of our seventh graders to
start acting like Miley? I didn't
think so.
The trend of female child stars
setting poor examples for the young
girls who idolize them needs to
change. These changes do not come
from the stars, but from society it-
self.
First of all, Hollywood should stop
putting so much pressure on people
who become stars young, especially
women. This pressure to be perfect
could be what is leading them to go
out of control when they have the
opportunity.
If
the paparazzi and
the general public itself were not so
concerned about the daily life of
celebrities, these young women
would not have
to
be in the spotlight
24/7. They could be themselves, and
release some of that pent up energy
that comes from the pressure of
being a good role model, rather than
releasing it all when they are older
and in ridiculous ways that set poor
examples for the youth of society.
Second, society needs to stop put-
ting pressure on all girls in general.
There are so many things out there
that encourage girls
to
act and look
certain ways. More and more mag-
azines and other forms of media
portray girls in unrealistic ways,
but young girls feel pressured to as-
pire towards those unreachable
goals.
Maybe instead of spending all our
free time reading about the latest
fashion trends,
newest dance
crazes, or surfing social networking
sites, we should be enjoying our own
youth
,
before we end up exploding
from the pressure to live up to a cer-
tain expectation, the way Miley ex-
ploded all over the stage in her
VMA performance.

Students
weigh in on NFL concussion suit
By
KEVIN BRUCKNER
&DEREK ROSE
Circle Contributors
A story that has caused numerous
headaches over the past couple of
years is the status of the NFL's con-
cussion policy. According to the
NFL Concussion Litigation, more
than 4,500 concussion-related law-
suits have been brought up by re-
tired football players in recent
years. Fortunately, this past Thurs-
day the NFL and NFL Properties
announced that they
will
contribute
$765 million to provide medical ben-
efits and injury compensation for re-
tired NFL football players. The deal
includes funding for medical and
s
afety research
,
as well as litigation
expenses.
The section of this agreement that
has some people scratching their
heads states that the deal does not
require the NFL to release the files
and
inforl}iation
that
details
whether they were aware of the in-
juries and risks. I, for one, do not
have one of those itchy heads
.
No-
body denies that football is one of
the most regulated sports in Amer-
ica. I imagine that athletes around
the country have a pretty good idea
about what they are getting them-
selves into when they put on an
NFL uniform come draft day.
And as I mention draft day, I feel
I must declare that regardless of
what people think about Commis-
sioner Roger Goodell, the fact of the
matter is that along with accepting
and assuming the responsibilities it
takes to run a multi-billion dollar
brand such as the NFL, he is mak-
ing the league safer while continu-
ing to globalize the sport in other
parts of the world.
Kevin Turner not nearly as pow-
erful as Commissioner Goodell
spoke out, saying, ''The benefits in
this agreement will make a
·
differ-
ence not only for me and my family,
but also for thousands of my football
brothers who either need help today
or may need help someday in the fu-
ture."

The NFL concussion suit has spurred
much controversy causing
opponents
to
face
off
and debate the repurcussions
and effect
of
It.
The implementation of compensa-
tion for concussions is certainly a
step in the right direction for the
NFL, but it is a timid step
as the lead plaintiff for one
group of retired players
.
vs
at best. Football, at all lev-
els across America
,
is torn
by the issue of concussions:
Turner also says, "I am
grateful that the NFL is
making a commitment to the men
who made the game what it is
today."
This deal is huge for the sports
world, and is what I believe to be a
large step in the right direction to-
ward a clear mind for these athletes
and their families.
Former United States District
Judge Layn Phillips agrees, stating,
''This is a historic agreement, one
that will make sure that former
NFL players who need and deserve
compensation will receive it ... "
the most polarizing topic in
the country's m.ost polariz-
ing sport.
Participation numbers, especially
at the Pop Warner level, have been
going down faster than an NFL
lineman on a slip and slide. Many
parents are deciding that football is
far too dangerous of a game to en-
roll their children in. Experts, such
as Hall of Farner Troy Aikman, fear
that the NFL has reached its popu-
larty peak because of the incredibly
high health risks. According to live-
science.com, nearly half a million
football-related injuries are re-
ported annually. Even Barrack
Obama has spoken out on the dan-
gers of football, saying "I'm a big
football fan, but I have to tell you, if
I had a son, I'd have to think long
and hard before I let him play foot-
ball."
Clearly, compensation is well over-
due for NFL players that risk not
only their livelihoods, but their lives
each Sunday. However, how can
football players at lower levels,
where there are opportunities for
injury but no monetary rewards, be
compensated?
It
seems unethical
not to release files and information
related to concussions in the NFL.
The more information that doctors,
coaches, scouts, parents and players

for severe concussions to occur. As
the figurehead of football world-
wide, the NFL should set an ethical
standard and release their informa

tion to the public.
The NFL's hesitalion to release
concussion-related
information
leads to the conclusion that the
issue is more serious than the p
_
ub-
lic believes. Releasing their infor-
mation could reveal that they know
the risks certain concussion-prone
athletes face, yet allow them to play
anyway. Obviously, this would gen-
erate much derision and scrutiny
among players, fans and the media.
The choice between popularity
and protection is made far too easily
by NFL executives and, sadly, tends
to fall towards the former. In an ef-
fort to maintain its image, the NFL
risks the health of football players
worldwide by not sharing informa-
tion.
Chef robots add spice to the kitchen
By
KATHLEEN O'BRIEN
Opinion Editor
Forget Gordon Ramsey or Emeril
Lagasse and introduce ARMAR, the
next best thing to happen to the
food world: a kitchen robot.
This new breed of metal chef is
programmed to perform all of the
duties of a chef including cooking,
cleaning and retrieving items from

Although not the actual robots being
used in restaurants, living replicas of
this statue could be the future faces
of
the restaurant business.
the dishwasher. ARMAR is joined
by other new robots such as KUKA
whose main specialty is the ability
to print 3-D cookies.
KUKA is the product of students
at Poland's School of Form. The stu-
dents made KUKA as part of their
''Let's cook the future" project,
which emerged from a robot me-
chanic idea. The hope is that KUKA
will eventually be able to replace
humans as chefs and other restau-
rant positions.
This idea is already in practice in
Harbin, northeast of China, where
robots work in a restaurant per-
f~rming the duties of usher and
chef.
However, after reading about all
of these new robots, I am left with
one question: what is the point of
our existence?
Something seems amiss that, con-
sidering all of the problems in our
world that need solving, our scien-
tists are focusing on developing a
species of robots that would make
the human race obsolete
.
With the
development of each new robot, one
more human on this planet de-
creases in worth. The creation of
this new brand of robot which is
supposed to be an asset to our world
is actually a detriment.
Amidst the clanking of machinery
used to create these robots, the sci-
entists ~ust have forgotten one im-
portant concept: unemployment.
Every day, humans across the world
wake up wondering if today will be
the day that they will finally get a
job. They wonder about how they
will be able to supply food for their
families or keep a roof over their
heads. Yet, our scientists have de-
veloped a machine and project to re-
place more workers increasing the
unemployment rate. How is this in-
vention helping the world? The re-
sults of this innovative hunk of
metal will only be the crippling of
an entire group of workers.
It
will be
pathetic to see the fruits of this ex-
periment: empty robot restaurants
because no one will have enough
money to attend them due to unem-
ployment.
Furthermore, this invention will
only serve to make the human race
lazier and more inept. Over the past
two hundred years, we have lost so
many of the vital, life preserving
skills our ancestors possessed.
If
the
light went out on the entire world
tomorrow, very few ofus would sur-
vive since we are unaw~re of how to
make fire, hunt or create shelter. At
least in the world today, we are
knowledgeable enough in the field
of cooking to be able
to
cook our own
food. However, with the invention of
this new robot, even that will fade
overtime.
ARMAR, KUKA and all of their
robot companions are decreasing
the worth of the human race with
each cookie baked.
If
humans con-
tinue to be replaced, unemployment
and poverty will increase and create
a new level of degradation for hu-
manity.
Machines have taken over assem-
bly lines and robots are now con-
trolling our kitchens. It is horrifying
to imagine what industry will be
swallowed next by the well of inno-
vation. As this trend towards ma-
chinery continues, every ounce of
purpose in humanity will slowly be
drained from our world.
Innovation and science are sup-
posedly enriching our lives with
each new technological invention.
However, it seems that with each
new advanced product, our general
purpose and being decreases. There
is a line between what can be done
and what should be done and, un-
fortunately, science has become
too
familiar with it. Hopefully the world
will realize the potential dangers of
these new inventions and prevent
them before our race becomes su-
perfluous.

Summer music 2013: 4 albums worth checking out

have worked out a complete over-

shooting for abstract soundscapes in
place of tightly-knit Afro-pop/elec-

The "pursuit of excellence under
adversity" has become a motto this
year for the Marist College Band.
It
started well before the semester
even started, when it was discov-
ered that the new rehearsal hall in
the Multipurpose Music Buildin-g
would not be completed until mid-
October, forcing rehearsals and
classes to be scattered all through-
out the campus from the McCann
Center to Saint Ann's Hermitage.
It continued through Music Camp,
with a band that had less than two
weeks to learn all of the material
necessary to perform at the opening
football game versus Sacred Heart
University. It continued even
throughout that very game, with
thanks to torrential downpours that
cancelled the half-time field show
and a football referee who, in no
pleasant terms, told the band just
what the
y
could do with their music.

In
addition, this has
been done with one of the largest
freshman classes that the band has
ever seen. Out of the 90+ students
in the Marist Band, over 40 of them
are of the Class of 2017.
All of the people in this band,
along with Director of Bands and
Music Arthur Himmelberger, who is
now in his 28th year directing the
Marist Band, are greatly anticipat-
ing the opening of our brand-new
music building, which, when com-
pleted, is expected to be one of the
finest collegiate rehearsal halls in
all of the Northeast. The music hall
will serve as the pinnacle for a band
that started as two trumpets at a
Marist basketball game at Madison
Square Garden (with Art playing on
drums) to one of the most dedicated
small college bands in the country.
The Marist Band is comprised of
three separate bands for concert
performances (Symphonic, Wind
Symphonies and Orchestra) and two
bands for pep performances at
sporting events (Marching Band
during Football season, and Pep
Band for Basketball Season); chap-
ters for a band Fraternity and a
band Sorority (Kappa
Kappa
Sai
a~d Tau Beta Sigma, respectively);
and several small ensembles that
have various performances through-
out the year, both at Marist and in
the local region (Brass, Woodwinds,
Percussion, Guitar, Flute, Handbell
Choir, and Jazz Foxes). Many of
these talented individuals are mi-
noring in music, but none of them
are music majors, simply because
there is no music major offered at

addi-
tion, the Band will be performing

future performances are as follows:
Saturday, Nov. 23, 1:00 p.m.

Men's soccer drops pair on the road
By
GEOFF MAGLIOCHETTI
Staff Writer
With the disappointment of the
2012 season that saw them finish 5-
10-1. . .last in the MAAC ... the
Marist Red Foxes men's soccer team
has ignored what the critics have
been saying, entering the 2013 sea-
son with a sense of optimism. De-
spite opening the season with two
losses on the road to UC Riverside
and UC Irvine, Marist head coach
Matt Viggiano remains optimistic
for campaign.
"College soccer is a fast-paced,
well fought game," Viggiano said
after returning from a red-eye flight
from California.
"I believe if we
match (our opponents) intensity for
90 minutes and fight as hard as pos-
sible, we can get back to where we
were."
Viggiano, entering his seventh
season at the helm of the team,
guided them to the MAAC semifi-
nals during the 2011 season. While
that team finished 8-7-5, injuries re-
duced made 2012 a lost year, as the
Foxes managed just a 1-6 record
against MAAC foes.
"First and foremost, we have to
stay healthy," Viggiano said. "Even

2013
campaign

Circle Contributor
Marist' s volleyball team started
their 2013 campaign with a
·
victory,
but ended their stay at the Toledo
Invitational with two tough losses.
Marist started day one of the tour-
nament strong, as the Red Foxes de-
feated the Toledo Rockets in four
sets, with a score of 3-1 (18-25, 25-
14, 25-22, 25-21).
Each of the three co-captains had
their own impressive performances
during the first match. Mackenzie
Stephens had the most kills of the
match with 16, while three· other
Red Foxes had ten. Audra Brady,
despite only playing in the last
three sets, was able to put up forty
assists. Finally, Grace Hill had thir-
teen kills in her first match back for
Marist after suffering a tom ACL
last year.
Toledo was able to take the first
set of the match thanks
to
a
·
few
runs of consecutive points, but that
wasn't going to stop Marist. The
Red Foxes were able to capture the
second set due in large to kills from
multiple players. Stephens and Hill
each had four, while Courtney
Shaw, Marisa Gilbert, and Becca
Jories accounted for two apiece,
which allowed Marist to take the
25-14 set win.
The third set went in favor of the
Red Foxes thanks to a 6-1 run after
trailing 20-18, which was then fol-
lowed by. a kill from Stephens.
Marist had a few early leads in the
fourth and final set of the match,
but the Rockets weren't ready to
give up without a fight.
Toledo got back into the set from
trailing by as many as eight points,
to leading by one with a score of 1 7-
16. Marist was able to score a few
consecutive points and close out the
match strong.
The second match for the Red
Foxes turned out different than
what they had hoped entering play.
They were matched up against the
Panthers of Eastern Illinois to con-
tinue the Toledo Invitational.
Marist took the early lead in the
first set, up 9-8, however EIU took
the lead with four straight points;
and they never looked back, win-
ning the set 25-20.
The second set was the closest of
the three that were played, as
Marist brought the game to 21-21,
but EIU took four of the next five
points and claimed the second set
25-22.
The third and final set of the
match was controlled throughout by
the Panthers and a trio of 4-0 runs,
with a final score of 25-22 Eastern
Illinois, sweeping the Red Foxes 3-0.
Overall, Marist played well despite
a tough loss, as Jones led the team
with nine kills combined with seven
digs.
Offensively, Stephens, Hill, and
Shaw contributed a combined
twenty three kills (8, 8, and 7 re-
spectively)
.
Audra Brady also accounted for
thirty assists. On the defensive side,
Gena Russo had ten digs, while jun-
ior libero Brooke Zywick had nine.
Match number three was on day
two of the Invitational, as the Red
Foxes took on Loyola Chicago. Like
their previous match, the Red Foxes
didn't come out on top, but put up a
good fight in a losing effort.
Loyola Chicago took the match in
straight sets, winning 25-23, 25-20,
and 25-20.
Co-captain Grace Hill finished
with a match-high thirteen kills,
and Becca Jones added eleven

Looney sets record, football loses 37-21
By
RYAN
CALVI
Sports Editor
As the Marist community got
started up again this past week, so
too did the school's football team
this past Saturday evening. The
Red Foxes (0-1) suffered a disap-
pointing 37-21 loss at home to Sa-
cred Heart (1-0) in their season
opener despite senior quarterback
Chuckie Looney setting the
school's record for career touch-
down passes. Looney finished the
game 25-for-49 for 228 yards and
two touchdowns (both to senior
wide receiv~r Armani Martin).
Marist head coach Jim Parady
expressed disappointment follow-
ing the opening night loss. ''We
had great expectations coming into
this game," Parady said. ''We re-
ally wanted to make a good im-
pression, especially at home."
For Looney, career touchdown
passes 30 and 31 surpassed James
Luft's record set eight years ago.
.
Luft graduated in 2005 and played
from 2001-05 for the Red Foxes.
When asked what the record
meant to Looney, the captain un-
selfishly put the team's loss before
his personal triumph. ''We need to
stop beating ourselves
if
we're
going to win games," Looney said.
Marist committed three
turnovers and the team took 10
penalties for 78 yards, much to the
displeasure of their head coach.

Cartica leads women's soccer to hot start

Three games into the season,
the Marist Red Foxes women's soc-
cer team sits at 2-1 after picking
up a pair of wins over new Division
1 team UMass Lowell and At-
lantic-10 foe Duquesne.
''We talked a lot about starting
and ending the game on the same
note. really having the mentality
after a goal
is
scored and take ad-
vantage of certain moments in
time" head coach Katherine Lyn
said.
The win over Lowell proved es-
pecially dominant, with the final
score reading 5-1 in favor of
Marist.
It
was the only home game
the team has played thus far and
senior Alycia Cartica wasted no
time in making an early :µnpres-
sion on the Red Fox faithful. The
Pleasant Valley, N.Y. native netted
a pair of goals while also dishing
out two helpers to set up goals
.
from Marissa Mertens and
Danielle Glazer. For Glazer it was
the first of her collegiate career.
Cartica scored her first of the
evening less than 10 minutes in
and the Red Foxes never looked
-
back, holding a 3-0 lead at the half.
The second goal would come in the
early stages of the second half,
dribbling up the sideline and plac-
ing it squarely in the back of the
net. beating the River Hawks net-
minder.
"She continues to be a star
player for us in the back based on
her athelticism, but its nice to
throw a wrench in there every once
in a while and make something
happen with composure on the ball
and a great touch in front of the
net" Lyn said.
The senior forward/midfielder
was also named MAAC Offensive
Player of the Week for her efforts.
Brittany Russo tallied the only
goal of the night for UMass Lowell,
cutting the lead to 4-1 for the time
being.
Amanda Epstein would close
the scoring, taking a nice feed from
Samantha Panzner and sending it
far post for the fifth Marist goal of
the night.
More recently, the Red Foxes
captured a 3-0 victory over the
Dukes of Duquesne in their only
match of Labor Day weekend.
Cartica continued her strong
start to the season, taking a pass
from junior Jamie Strumwasser
and giving her team a 1-0 lead in
the 34th minute, one that they
would take into the locker room at
halftime.
"I pressured the backs and
forced them to make a mistake on
a ball over the top from Jamie
(Strumwasser) and that led to the
first goal" Cartica said.
The Red Foxes wasted little
time opening up a two-goal lead
just seven minutes into the final
stanza, as Glazer was helped out
by a pair of seniors in Panzner and
Rycke Guiney and beat Dukes'
goalie Devon Tabata with a shot
from 20 yards out.
Maria Moreno's goal in the
72nd minute would account for the
final margin of victory. Guiney
picked up her second assist of the
afternoon on the goal.
However.
the start of the new
campaign hasn't come without a
tough defeat mixed in as the Red
Foxes fell to Drexel in their season
opener back on August 26. A game
that featured the Dragons' Alyssa
Findlay scoring the game-winning
goal with under two minutes re-
maining in overtime.
As
previously mentioned. the
Red Foxes sit at 2-1 thus far in the
2013 season and will look to con-
tinue the positive momentum
when they travel to Long Island to
face the Hofstra Pride on Friday at
7 p.m. Marist will then return
home to the friendly confines of
Tenney Stadium and host LIU-
Brooklyn on Sunday in a game
slated for a 1 o'clock start.
