Ally
program to support
LGBTQ
students
By
ANA JEAN HEALY
News Editor
Marist Diversity Council's LGBTQ
subcommittee has recently begun
training for its new Ally program.
The program, headed by the Associ-
ate Director of Alumni
& Donor. Pro-
grams, Bobbi Sue Tellitocci, and the
Assistant Director of Housing and
Residential Life Jeffrey Kaine, is
aimed at providing a welcoming en-
vironment for lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender or questioning persons
by establishing a network of people
who can provide support, informa-
tion and a safe place for LGBTQ per-
sons on campus.
According to Tellitocci, the LGTBQ
subcommittee has been working on
the Ally program for almost three
years.
It
is
an initiative that
is
sup-
ported by the board of trustees and
the president of student affairs.
"The initiative came from the di-
versity
council
as
part of its strategic
plan," Tellitocci said. ''Me and Jeffrey
were appointed to the committee and
found out that we were both very
passionate about it."
Tellitocci and Kaine worked with
members of SUNY Fredonia's Safe
Zone Committee, another LGBTQ
program, to develop the Ally training
program that would be used here at
Marist. The program is aimed at
helping people who identify as
LGTBQ in their coming out
processes. While Marist does have a
Lesbian Gay Straight Alliance club
on (~a.mpus, Kaine said that for peo-
ple who are struggling with coming
out, those meetings can be very in-
timidating.
"Going to those meetings can be a
big step for someone who is not yet
comfortable with coming out," Kaine
said.
The Ally program is focused on
training individuals to serve as sup-
port systems for people who are un-
sure
-
about coming out. Each Ally
goes through a series of training ses-
sions and after doing so becomes
part of the "Ally Network." An Ally
can be identified by the Ally Network
symbol that they wear. This symbol
serves as a message to all LG BTQ
persons that the individual display-
ing the symbol promises to be un-
derstanding, supportive,
confidential
and trustworthy
if
a LGBTQ person
needs help, advice or just someone to
talk
to. Those people who have gone
through the training and wear the
Ally symbol indicate that they do not
tolerate bigotry or discrimination of
any kind.
.
"An
Ally is someone who wants to
be a visible person who is supportive
of
all
people," Tellitocci said. "The
LG BTQ committee is open and ac-
cepting of all kinds of diversity."
The first Ally training session was
held on Oct. 11, which was also Na-
tional Coming Out Day. Michael
Brosseau, a junior, is one of the stu-
dents who took part in that session.
"I
chose to become an Ally siinply
because I felt it was something I had
to ·do," Brosseau said. ''Recently, I
wrote a blog post for Athlete Ally,
and ever since then I kind of realized
that I can use my experiences as a
gay man here on campus to help oth-
ers the way that others have helped
me. Coming into your own is never
easy, and
if
I can help just one per-
son come into their own, then I have
helped make a difference in the com-
munity."
The next training sessions
will be
held on Nov.
7
and Nov. 20. How-
ever, Tellitocci said that training is
not
a
one-time thing. Allies
are
en-
couraged to continue to educate
themselves after the training ses-
sions and participate in periodic as-
sessments that will gauge the
effectiveness and impact of the pro-
.
gram.
''This program is very important to
me," Tellitocci said. "Everyone
should have the chance to be in love,
and no one should be denied of that
experience. People should be proud
to love anyone they want."

Hall of Fame columllist discusses NBA writing career
By
EMILY HOUSTON
Circle Contributor
Legendary NBA columnist and tel-
evision
analyst Peter V ecsey visited
Marist to speak with students about
the industry of sports communica-
tions, his experiences and lessons he
has learned along the way. The lec-
ture was sponsored by the Sports
Communication department and held
on Wednesday, Oct. 24.
V ecsey covered the NBA for 36
years, and his presentation started
with an overview of his many accom-
plishments. He is a part of the New
York City Basketball Hall of Fame; in
1976 he became the first ever NBA
columnist;
and in 2009, he was in-
ducted into the NBA Hall of Fame
and was awarded the Curt Gowdy
Media Award, which is given to a bas-
ketball journalist or broadcaster who
shows exceptionalism in the field.
Vecsey started by addressing Dr.
Keith Strudler, saying how he enjoys
coming out and talking to schools.
Re~
ferring to how he himself did not
graduate from college, Vecsey then
said, ''I'm probably this school's worst
nightmare to come up here and talk."
The crowd let out a laugh as V ecsey
moved on and began discussing his
career in sports communication. In
1960, as a junior in high school, Vec-
sey took a full-time job at the New
York Daily Newspaper, one of only
eight newspapers in New York at the
time.
While his introduction to basketball
came when he made the freshman
team at Archbishop Molloy High
School, V ecsey first started writing
while in the Merchant Marine Corps.
He would write letters, and others
told him that he could write pretty
well.
As
he tried to break into the indus-
try, V ecsey said,
"I
truly believe life
is
luck, but you make the luck."
He then emphasized how important
connections and contacts are to get
into the sports media industry.
"Nobody helped me. Nobody but my
father," Vecsey said. 'Tve always
tried to go the other way and help
kids because nobody helped me but
my father."
Freshman Cassie Carroll said her
favorite part of the speech was
''Mr.
V ecey s encouragement for all of us to
"[I]
never thought [basketball] was
the next big sport," Vecsey said. ''It
was my sport."
While Vecseys dad told him not to
lock in on one sport,
V ecsey has a
dif-
ferent view.
"[I]
truly believe you have to be a
specialist," he said. "You can't know
everything [about every sport.]"
He emphasized how it is better to
dedicate oneself to one sport than

''You'll never see me using rumors."
Even though many big papers fol-

basketball as a breakout industry.
"[I]
was asked to audition for NBA
insider because I was breaking so
many stories," he explained. ''NBC
was adamant about not having me.
Terry O'Neil convinced NBC to hire
me."
While similar in content, a news-
paper and a broadcasting job differ in
execution. Vecsey said he became
good at it by
"making
mistakes."
Given the nickname "The Viper,"
V ecsey is known for his sometimes
brutal, yet honest style of reporting;
''I don't like not being liked, but you
have got to do your job," he said. "It
doesn't matter
if
it's Michael Jordan,
or the fifteenth man on the team,
if
I
thought I was being truthful, I was
going to do it. We have both got to do
our jobs."
V ecsey has worked with many
bas-
ketball stars over the years and said
he has always rooted for
"guys
that
are humble," such as Earl Monroe,
Tiny Archibald and his personal
fa-
vorite, Larry Bird.
"[You] never knew they were super-
stars or played in the NBA," V ecsey
said.
Being a part of the business for mul-
tiple decades, V ecsey said the best
eras were the '80s and '90s because of
the ease of access. He also reminisced
on how in 1986, the two weeks he
spent traveling with the Celtics were
·
the best two weeks of his career.
.
''It is harder to be a journalist nowa-
days," Vecsey said. "[The access]
is
so
much more limited," and it
is
''harder
to trust agents," but one way it
is
eas-
ier
is
that you •~ust have to get on-
line."
''Take any job you can to get into the
field," he said. ''It's tough out there."
V ecsey advised students aspiring
to
be a part of the sports communica-
tions field to know the history of
sport.
·
''To have an appreciation of today,
you need to know where it started."

Career
Services hosts
annual Graduate School Forum
By
MICHEUE COSTELLO
Copy Chief
Representatives from 57 gradu-
ate school programs met in the
Cabaret on Wednesday, Oct. 24, to
speak with Marist students at the
annual Graduate School Forum.
The forum, coordinated by the
Marist Center for Career Services,
hosted a variety of reputable
schools and programs, including
many law schools. Some programs
in attendance included Columbia
University's School of Social Worlt
and School of International
&
Pub-
lic Affairs, Binghamton University
and Temple University.
The Graduate School Forum is
organized every year by Pat Tay-
lor, the graduate school and fel-
lowship advisor from the Center
for Career Services.
Taylor said Marist students have
typically been very competitive in
gaining admissions to graduate
schools. Students in the past have
been admitted to programs in
schools like Harvard, Columbia,
Yale and Cornell.
"When students are determined
to make it on to grad school, they
make it happen," Taylor said.
The Graduate School Forum is
one way that Marist students are
able to explore their graduate
school aspirations after Marist.
Stephen Cole, the executive di-
rector of Career Services, saw the
forum as a valuable asset to stu-
~
"This is an event that we're
pleased to offer annually, because
it does give students a chance to
see what graduate schools are
looking for in terms of students,"
Cole said.
Cole said the event was also
helpful in terms of seeing what
programs would be a good fit for
students.
The turnout for the event was
consistent, Cole said. The pro-
gram, held in the informal atmos-
phere of the Cabaret, usually gets
"a good mix of juniors, sophomores
and even some first year students,
so they can get an idea of what
their game plan is going to be after
Marist," Cole said.
Students who attended the
Graduate School Forum agreed
that the event was very useful.
"I think it's a really great oppor-
tunity for us to see what's out
there after Marist," senior Meghan
Mahony, an American Studies
major, said. "The thought of
grad-
uation is really overwhelming, but
the grad school fair introduced me
to a variety of options for post-
gr_aduation."
The program proved useful not
only to seniors, but to juniors and
underclassmen as well.
"I thought it was really informa-
tive," said junior Christina D'Arco,
a Biology major with a Journalism
minor. "All the admissions coun-
selors were really nice and pro-
vided a lot of information. Even
though I'm a junior, I think it's re-
ally ill)j)ortant to start looking at
grad schools."
MICHELLE
COSTELLO/THE CIRCLE
At this year's Graduate School Forum
Marist
students had the opportunity
to
meet
with
representatives from 57 graduate schools.
Marist's own graduate programs
were also represented at the
forum. Marist has 12 very compet-
itive programs, said Kelly Holmes,
Director
of Admission.for graduate
programs.
"Most of our programs are ca-
reer-focused," Holmes said. The
programs are aimed at providing
students with valuable and mar-
ketable skills for the professional
world.
Half of the programs are avail-
able online, and half are on-site
graduate programs. One program,
the Master of Arts in Museum
Studies, is offered on-site at the
Marist campus in Florence, Italy
at the Lorenzo de Medici Institute.
Students who missed the Gradu-
ate School Forum or are interested
in more information on graduate
programs at Marist or elsewhere
can contact the Career Services of-
fice, located on the third floor of
the James A. Cannavino Library.
SGA update: Thanksgiving buses
By
KATHLEEN O'BRIEN
SGA Reporter
The Student Government Asso-
ciation is the group of elected rep-
resentatives
for
the
Marist
College student body.
Every
Wednesday at 11 a.m., SGA meets
to discuss upcoming events and
initiatives in order to help and im-
prove the Marist community and
campus. This article is the first in
a series of bi-weekly SGA updates
in order to keep the rest of the
Marist community informed of the
progress and activities of its
elected student officials.
The first initiative that SGA is
currently developing is the cre-
ation of a food pantry. The food
pantry will provide nonperishable
foods and gift cards to help the
local community. The food will be
donated by SGA members and
other Marist students. SGA is
looking to coordinate with Cam-
pus Ministry, particularly the Col-
bert Community, to help organize
and run the pantry. The location
and structure of the food pantry is
still being decided.
In addition, SGA is sponsoring
bus trips to Long Island and
Boston to transport students
home for Thanksgiving break. The
buses will leave on Tuesday, Nov.
20. Ticket sales for the trip will be
held on Oct. 29 from 11 a.m.-1
p.m., Nov. 1 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.,
Nov. 6 from 12-1:30 p.m. and Nov.
9 from 5-6:30 p.m. Tickets will
only be sold on Nov. 6 and 9 if
there are still available spots on
the buses. There is one bus for •
each trip and each
will
carry 55
passengers. Tickets for the Boston
trip will cost $25 and the Long Is-
land trip will cost $20. Marist
Money as well as cash will be ac-
cepted as payment.
Another program organized by
SGA is the Physical Plant Project,
which works to change different
asp~cts on campus in order to im-
prove student
life. The first initia-
tive concerns the amount of bike
racks at the college. Currently,
there are too many bikes and not
enough bike racks, and the loca-
tion of the bike racks that do exist
interfere with the daily operations
of the buildings such as opening
and closing doors, particularly
near the entrance to the Breeze-
way. Therefore, SGA is proposing
that the school buy five-bike bike
racks to be distributed throughout
the campus.
The second Physical Plant Proj-
ect, organized by sophomore class
president Giananthony Damasco,
concerns filtration systems known
as "hydration stations." These
new Brita filtration systems
would be inserted into the new
performing arts building, Student
Center,.McCann Center and resi-
dence halls. The purpose of the
hydration stations is to encourage
sustainability and reduce the
reuse of water bottles, especially
non-plastic ones. The project is
now currently being presented to
the buildings and grounds com-
mittees.
"Not only would it be more con-
venient for the student, but it is
also much more environmentally
friendly," Damasco said. "The sys-
tems we are looking at could pro-
vide 3,000 gallons of water on one
filter,
which
would
prevent
around 22,700 plastic water bot-
tles from being used."
In addition to these physical
changes on campus, SGA is also
currently planning the next Red
Fox Den, spearheaded by junior
class president, Deborah Akin-
wunmi. The Red Fox Den is a pro-
gram hosted once a semester in
the Student Center, consisting of
various simultaneous activities.
It
provides students an alternative
to going out on the weekend. The
Den was started last year by stu-
dent body president Andrew
Paulsen. Paulsen was a Resident
Assistant in freshman dorms for
two years and saw that there was
a need for alternative events on
weekends.
"Our goal is really to give people
who ·would prefer not to go out
something fun and engagirig to
do," Akinwunmi said.
"It
will be
nice to see it become a once-a.-
weekend thing, but on a smaller
scale."
The Haunted Trail at St. Anne's
Hermitage, which was originally
scheduled for Oct. 28, will be
rescheduled for another weekend
yet to be determined. SGA will be
posting information in the upcom-
ing week.
At SGA's Oct. 24 meeting, the
members of the Board appointed
Charlotte Carol to the Judicial
Board as a resident justice. The
responsibilities of the justices in-
clude deciding parking appeals,
interpreting the SGA Constitution
and handling other issues that
arise within the organization and
other clubs.
"I really wanted to join because
I was interested in being a part of
SGA," Carol said. "J-Board is
somet~ing unique that I have
never experienced before and I
thought it would be a great oppor-
tunity."
Finally, SGA will be participat-
ing in the annual Hunger Walk
sponsored by Campus Ministry.
The event will take place on Nov.
7. Any club, organization or indi-
vidual is welcome to attend. Par-
ticipants will meet on the hill
outside of the Chapel at noon. A
$3 donation is required for partic-
ipation in the event.

Barstool Blackout comes to Poughkeepsie

Once again, Marist was buzzing
with excitement for the Barstool
tour to hit Poughkeepsie
.
Students
everywhere rushed to purchase tick-
ets
,
and a plethora of crazy outfits
arrived before the big night. This
wasn't just happening on campus,
but all over the country.
Barstool Sports, the infamous
blog, is the source of these massive
events taking over cities every-

Inaugural lecture in Series in Hudson River Valley History
By
TAYLOR MULLANEY
Circle Contributor
On Thursday, Oct. 25, Dr. David
Schuyler held a lecture in the Nelly
Golletti Theatre to discuss his most
recent book; "Sanctified Landscape:
Writers, Artists, and the Hudson
River Valley, 1820-1909." Schuyler
was the inaugural speaker in the
Handel-Krom Lecture Series in
Hudson River Valley History, a se-
ries made possible by Bernard and
Shirley Handel and LTC Gilbert A.
Krom, U.S. Army, Ret. The lecture
was hosted by the Hudson River
Valley Institute at Marist College.
Schuyler is the Arthur and
Katherine Shadek Professor of the
Humanities and Professor of Amer-
ican Studies at Franklin
&
Mar-
shall College, and also a Newburgh
native.
The title of his book, "Sanctified
Landscape," is a reference to a line
by Thomas Cole in his "Essay
on
American Scenery": ''The great
struggle for freedom has sanctified
many a spot, and many a mountain,
stream, and rock has its legend,
worthy of poet's pen
or
the painter's
pencil."

Reconsidering the presidential candidates
By
DANIEL TORRES
Circle Contributor
I was recently asked by The Cir-
cle to comment on why students
should vote. As the Northeast Re-
gional Director for College Democ-
rats of America, I interact with
students all over the country. We
talk about the issue most people shy
away from: politics.
It
has been said
that politics is not a dinner table
discussion but I have to ask, why
not? Politics-the outcome of poli-
tics--affects us all.
This year's election presents many
challenges for our country and es-
pecially our generation. In fact, I be~
lieve it is fair to say that our
generation may be the most im-
pacted by this election. During our
weekly voter drives I couldn't help
but notice how many people checked
off the box for "Republican" when it
came to party enrollment.
However, I don't believe that this
is an election about Democrats or
Republicans, tax returns and birth
certificates, the
99%, 1
% or
4
7%. In
fact it is not an election about
Barack Obama or Mitt Romney.
This is an election about American
values!
Do we as a country feel that access
to affordable health care allows us
"life, liberty and the pursuit of hap-
piness?" Do we believe in affordable
education, clean energy, keeping
and growing jobi; in the United
States and more?
Oftentimes we get caught up in
slogans and sound bites. Words

such as "socialist" are thrown
around. Did you know that the
term was often used to criticize Re-
publican Theodore Roosevelt? We
hear phrases like ''You didn't build
that ... " and fail to draw the paral
7
lels between those ideas and those
brought forward in the social con-
tract theory. The social contract the-
ory argues that we gain civil rights
in return for accepting the obliga-
tion to respect and defend the rights
of others, giving up some freedoms
to do so. This is the idea that law
and political order are not natural,
but are instead human creations.
Let me remind you that Thomas
Jefferson used this theory in the
construction of the Declaration of
Independence. For it, he was never
called a socialist but rather a pa-
triot.
Had Barack Obama not signed
the American Recovery Act, many
feel the country would have fallen
into a depression. Had he not saved
the auto industry, over one million
jobs would be lost. Had he not
signed "Obamacare" into law, thirty
million Americans would still be
uninsured and those with a preex-
isting illness would not be covered.
Don't forget the fact that we now
will ALL be covered under our par-
ent's insurance pl.an until the age of
26. This is important when many
first jobs do not come with benefit
packages.
How about those expensive stu-
dent loans we will have to repay?
Well, the President's student loan
reform lowered the cost of federal
student loans, and, even more im-
portantly, it gives students the right
to repay those loans as a clear,
fixed, low percentage of their in-
come for up to 20 years.
These are all things that the other
candidate for President opposed.
There is a long road to full recovery,
but it seems clear to me that we are
in fact on our way. Pundits on tele-
vision may disagree, some of you
who are reading this may disagree,
but the facts indicate that as a coun-
try we are moving forward.
I ask that you consider what I
have said. I ask you not to vote for a
candidate because your parents are,
but rather do some reading on your
own before you step up to the ballot
box. I ask that you consider your
values and what you think our
country's values should be. I also re-
mind you that your vote coul_d de-
termine whether or not you are
insmed upon graduating or affect
how you will pay back all of those
student loans. This
is
an important
election for us all, and I hope that
you all vote and take that responsi-
bility seriously.

Taking control of fem ale contraception
By
CHRISTINA D'ARCO
Circle Contributor
Young women, especially during
their college years, lead an inde-
pendent and exciting life full of par-
ties, people and new places.
In
this
whirlwind of intoxicating fun, who
can blame us for wanting to let loose
and have fun with the various men
we meet?
But beneath all the fun and games
lies a discomforting thought. Young
women face a harsh reality when it
comes to our lifestyle choices--
something men cannot ever fully
grasp. For the ambitious female col-
lege student, pregnancy is not to be
taken lightly. This one discovery
can change everything. Therefore, it
is important that young, sexually
active women realize they have an
obligation to protect themselves
against 'J)regnancy, even if that
means going on the pill.
Since its approval by the Food
&
Drug Administration in 1960, the
birth control pill has revolutionized
women's rights. After decades of
being in the dark, women were fi-
nally exposed to a safe and effective
way of preventing pregnancy. "The
Pill," as it came to be known, altered
gender roles of American society as
it redistributed power in the bed-
room, the classroom and the work-
place. Women-not men-were in
control. Most importantly, the birth

control pill gave women the power
of choice: They could choose when,
how and if to have children, careers
or marriages.
It
was this independ-
ence that paved the way for the fem-
inist revolution of the 70s and
created
·
a nation where today,
women vastly outnumber men in
college and graduate degrees.
Although "The
Pill"
has remained
the mainstream method of birth
control, many women are exploring
newer alternatives. According to the
Planned Parenthood website, these
options include Ortho Evra (patch),
Depo-Provera (shot), lmplanon
(im-
plant), NuvaRing, FemCap (cervical
cap) and female condoms (yes, there
is such a thing). The efforts of these
women should not go unnoticed.
They have educated themselves on
the usefulness and availability of
pregnancy prevention methods.
They are also neither careless nor
afraid to assume their personal re-
sponsibility as child-bearers. In
.
turn, these women are impacting
the lives of other women, causing
them to reconsider their methods of
protection and ways in which they
could improve upon it.
Anti-contraception organizations,
however, continue to add resistance
to this progressive movement.
Apart from their cohorts, American
Life League has been extreme-al-
most desperate-in their attempts
to gain the attention of the public.
Their exaggerated studies and fab-
ricated advertisements contain seri-
ous factual errors that are mislead~
ing, even harmfuL to the female
consumer. Such statements seek to
destroy a woman's self-confide:oce
and distract from the realties of her
sex.
Organizations such as American
Life League are only interested in
promoting their own political, reli-
gious or moral agenda. Therefore, it
is of the utmost importance·that a
young woman
·
not allow her inner
voice to become muffled by the so-
cial outcries of extreme conserva-
tives. She must ultimately reach
her own conclusions regarding the
use of birth control and decide
whether or not it conforms to her
personal system of beliefs.
Birth control is first and foremost
a social anq. political matter, and
therefore its acceptance remains far
from universal. But, we must also
acknowledge that birth control has
made equally important advances
in
the 20th century. It not only has
served physical purposes; m~ny
young women have reaped psycho-
logical benefits, as well. ''The Pill,"
alongside other methods, has given
the modern woman an irrevocable
sense of independence and com-
mand. We cannot simply let it go,
and revert to our original state of
defenselessness. Birth control has
empowered the female gender and
forever changed the way the mod-
ern young woman views herself.

Working your wardrobe from day to night
By

Every girl has her favorite "going
out" shirt or skirt that she saves
for only the most special occasions;
I know mine is a sheer black but-
ton down with white skulls and
gold buttons. Who says that every
day isn't a special occasion, and us
girls can't whip out our prettiest
clothing
to hit the mall and run to
class?
Here at Marist College, I have
seen many girls successfully incor-
porate their going out pieces into
~ovely daytime outfits. The differ-
ence between day and night outfits
isn't in the actual
pieces
of clothing
but in the attitude you exude when
you wear them, as well as the way
you accessorize the look.

gings and a classic pair of black
boots from Nordstrom. She acces-

sorized her look with a Michael
Kors watch and a bold collar from
New York and Co.
Because Kelly kept her colors
simple, her makeup neutral,and
her accessories understated, she
rocked this look! Kelly could easily
take her daytime look to a night
time look!
She could swap out her boots for
a pair of heels, apply some smoky
eye
makeup
and throw on a
leather
jacket for a cool nighttime look!
Kelly pulls her inspiration from
things she sees on TV, in maga-
zines and other people she sees
around. She likes to try to replicate
those ideas while adding a per-
sonal twist to them in order to cre-
ate her own look. She describes her
style as being "classic and simple,
yet trendy." She loves to try out
new looks as well.
Try taking some of your favorite
going out pieces and rework them
to be appropriate for daytime. Try
softening your makeup and acces-
sories as well
as
pairing any bright
colors with more neutral tones like
blacks, greys and nudes.
Not only
will experimenting with
this idea provide new ways to
see
your closet and show you a fun
time with your clothing, but will
also save

Volunteering can cost money in
the long run. Students are less
likely to participate in activities if
they are donating a little more than
they can afford. Donating food and
other goods can be costly. Students
who look for ways
to get involved on
campus and in the community can
find different ways through school
organizations or community organi-
zations
to give back without having
to spend money.

service opportunities that don't in-

There are various service oppor-

zations allow students
to clean up
certain areas that are nearby their

For example, I was a member of
an organization at my high school
that took students to a local beach
and had us assist in cleaning up the
garbage and other things that were
polluting it and negatively affecting
the physical structure of it and the
wildlife that inhabited the area. We
also were able
to make sandwiches
that were sent
to homeless shelters
that helped feed the homeless indi-
viduals living there during major
holidays and even during other
·times of the year. Experiences like
these can be extremely r-ewarding.
The best part is that I didn't spend
a single dime. My school had funded
every resource tbat we needed to
complete the task at hand.

Coming off of a nail-biting loss to St.

last season's NCAA Tournament,
Marist is ready for another title run.

Looking at the Red Foxes' roster,
there is a notable absence of two

Men's basketball primed for winning season
By
GARRIN MARCHETTI
Sports Editor
Chuck Martin knew he needed to
have a plan.
Three years ago, Martin, the
head coach of the Marist men's bas-
ketball team, had just seen his team
go through one of worst seasons in
program history: a 1-29 overall
record.
Martin understood that the nec-
essary improvements could not me
made overnight or within the next
season. He met with his coaching
staff shortly after the season's end,
and they determined their plan of
action.
The plan, according to Martin,
would be to "get better by five." For
the next season, and the season
after that, the goal for the Red
Foxes would be to improve their
winning mark by five games.
The following season, the team
won six games, keeping on track.
Last season, Marist went above the
projection, earning 14 victories, in-
cluding one in the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC) Tour-
nament.
Three years later, the plan is
right on schedule.
''We [the team] have been
work-
ing hard for three years," Martin
said, as his team begins to prepare
for the 2012-2013 season. "Now, we
are starting to reap the benefits of
that [plan] a little bit."
For the first time in many sea-
sons, the Marist men's basketball
team has emerged as a favorite in
the MAAC. The Red Foxes return
their entire starting lineup from the
2011-2012
campaign, losing only
one member of the team to gradua-
tion.
Martin said that having the
whole team back, something that he
.
has not had in years past, has made
preseason·practices much easier.
"The fact that we have some older
guys in the program, guys like
Dorvell [Carter] and Devin [Price] is
great. It makes it much easier for
our team," Martin said.
Carter and Price are elder states-
men of the team, players who have
been through the highs and lows
with this program. Last season,
Carter missed all but three games
due to a torn ACL, averaging 11.3
points per game (PPG). Price had a
career year for the Red Foxes last
year, averaging career highs in PPG
(13.6),
three-point field goals made
(60)
and free-throw percentage
(.800).
Carter, who will serve as one of
the team's captains this season
along with Price and junior Jay
Bowie, expressed his anticipation
for the start of the season.
"I am very excited for the sea-
son," Carter said. "This is probably
the toughest team we have had
since I've been here. There is a lot of
depth; we have two or three guys at
every position. We all have been
working hard [in practice] to try and
have a great season."
Marist also returns a junior class
with plenty of starting experience.
Bowie has appeared in all 65 of the
team's games over the past two sea-
sons and has started in all but one
of them. He led the team in field
goal percentage last year (.491).
Center Adam Kemp started all 32
games last season, averaging 8.5
points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
Forwards Pieter Prinsloo and red-
shirt junior Anell Alexis also have
valuable experience startlng and
coming off the bench.
Martin expressed his approval of
the way the upperclassmen, espe-
cially the captains, have handled
their roles during the preseason and
how they have set the tone for the
rest of the group.
"They [the captains] are great.
They really echo my thoughts and
the agenda for the week, and we
have never really had that before,"
Martin said. "In the past, I never
felt like there was anyone [on the
team] that deserved to be a captain.
These guys really deserved the right
to be captains."

There are many key underclass-
men contributors returning for the
Red Foxes, including last season's
freshman sensation Chavaughn
Lewis. The swingman from Queens,
N.Y. led the team in scoring last

to the All-MAAC Rookie Team.

Women look to continue dominance
I'm playing, but wherever I am
I'll be happy," Dulin said.
Despite playing an unnatural po-
sition,
Dulin was third on the team
in both scoring and rebounding,
while
finishing
second in assists.
''We lost two big players for us,
but I don't feel any more pressure,"
Dulin said. "I like having to take on
a role of sc@ring more, and getting
my teammates the ball when they
need it."
Beynnon had a breakout season
offensively, especially down the
stretch, as she set career highs in
most offensive categories. Beynnon
was fifth on the team in scoring, sec-
ond in rebounds and second in field
goal percentage.
"I want to be a really reliable
player for my team this year, so that
when they need me I can be confi-
dent in that role," Beynnon said.
''I
don't feel any added pressure this
year and I think we're all confident
that we can uphold our roles."
Ockenden developed a reputation
as one of the top of the line shut-
down defenders in the conference
last season, earning the nickname
of "Lockdown." She finished fourth
amongst Red Fox scorers and
drained the most three pointers of
any Marist player. She also was
fourth in assists and fourth in re-
bounds.
Coming into this season, Ock-
enden seems to be embracing her
role as a captain and as one of the
returning starters. Despite all of
the individual accolades at stake,
she preaches that the team first at-
titude is what
will
be the driving
force once again for Marist.
"Being a captain, obviously it's an
honor, but the most important thing
is working together as a team and
just not worrying about certain
things," Ockenden said. "I'm just
trying to be a better team player,
and working together is the most
important thing
."
Depth
will
be a key part of this
Marist team. Five other players re-
turn from last year's team, along
with two more from injury and one
from a redshirt year.
Kristina Danella and Natalie
Gomez should be the first options off
the bench this year as returners.
Danella averaged 6.5 points per
game in just over 16 minutes of
playing time and was always a
source of instant offense off of the
bench. Gomez was a freshman last
season who saw her role expand
greatly as the season went on.
Gomez finished third on the team in
assists, and she should see ex-
panded minutes this season.
Emma O'Connor and Bri Holmes
should also see more time with the
departure of Gang and Emily
Stallings, who took up minutes as
the forwards last season, with
Yarde at the guard po

sition.
O'Connor is a solid rebounder who
has shown a scoring touch at times
as well, while Holmes showed great
scoring ability when given the op-
portunity.

dropped 30 pounds in the offseason,
impressing his teammates and his
coaches with his new physique.
Martin also said that as whole, the
team certainly "got bigger."
"Physically, everyone looks like
they gained 10 pounds of muscle.
T.J. is the obvious one, but Isaiah,
Chavaughn and Manny all look
great too, and that's just to name a
few. That just shows the commit-
ment that these guys made to the
program and each other. I was re-
ally impressed with how everyone
looked," Martin
·said.
The freshmen class consists of
three players: forward Phillip
Lawrence, center Eric Truog and
guard Khallid Hart. Hart, the
Delaware State Player of the Year
last year, suffered a knee
injury
during
training
camp and will be
given a medical redshirt this sea-
son. Despite the loss, Martin is look-
ing to Lawrence and Truog to
contribute right away.
"Having
the three captains and
the upperclassmen has been great
for their [the freshmen] develop-
ment," Martin said. "They seem re-
ally comfortable on and off the
court, and they are definitely able to
contribute for us early on."
While Marist seems to be on the rise
in the MAAC, Martin explained
that the rest of the league will be
the strongest it has ever been.
''I have always followed the
MAAC wherever I have been, and
right now, it is the best it has ever
been," Martin said. ''It has the best
talent one through ten. The coach-
ing is tremendous. The fact that we
got two teams in the NCAAs last
year is a clear indication of how
strong this league is."
Three years after the
suffering
through that tumultuous 1-29 sea-
son, the Marist program looks to
keep the momentum it has built.
Martin explained that, while the
process of building the right team
may have taken a long time, the
benefit of
taking
that time will,
hopefully, be seen for seasons
to
come.
''When
I took this job five years
ago, I told the administration that
we were going to do this the right
way. Brick, by brick, by brick," Mar-
tin said. ''When you build a house,
the foundation is going
to be strong,
and it is going to stand the test of
time. That has been the motto for
this program: brick, by brick, by
brick."

Rainy day album.a: five classics for bad weather
By
MATTHEW CASTAGNA
A&EEditor
1. "In A Silent Way" - Miles
Davis: By 1969, Miles Davis had al-
ready solidified himself a position as
one of the world's greatest jazz mu-
sicians, churning out hard-bop and
modal jazz classics with an unprece-
dented efficiency. Yet, even after the
transformations of "Kind Of Blue"
and "Sketches Of Spain," Davis
wanted more. After 1968's "Miles In
The Sky," Davis began phasing out
his "Second Great Quintet'' in an aim
to once again reconstruct his musical
dynamic from the ground up. The re-
sult of this transitionary period was
''In
A Silent Way," a two-track mural
that seemed to effortlessly (although
it was anything but) fuse the classi-
cal arrangements of cherished pasts
with modern directions of
rock,
soul
and ambiance. Unlike his previous
acoustic work, "Way' featured the
utilization of spanning electric moves
ments and intense studio production,
creating a record that caught jazz
fans by surprise.
Yet, for all its behind-the-scenes
tweaking and manipulation, "Way'
remains an organic masterpiece that
works beautifully when paired with
Mother Nature. John McLaughlin's
warm, electric guitar noodles warble
and oscillate, meandering through
cool clouds of foggy synth on
"Shhh/Peacefull." Davis's soloing
shoots for the upper register here,
with rich tones that coat your ceiling
with thin layers of fuzzy pitch before
frailly dripping to the ground. It's a
highly intellectual listen that fits
perfectly for quiet contemplativeness
on long, downcast days. It won't
cheer you up, and it won't bring you
down - it's a middle-of-the-road
groove that slyly glides with your
current state of mind.
2. "Blood On The Tracks" - Bob
Dylan: "Blood On The Tracks," is
often considered to be Bob Dylan's
best work ... and rightfully
so.
''Tracks" both rejuvenated Dylan's
career while becoming the definite
comparative floor model for autobio~
graphical lyricism.
Yet, where ''Tracks" succeeds the
most is in its mood-a collage of blus-
tery pieces that mesh with gray
molds of cloud tethered skies. It isn't
all down-in-the-dumps, but even the
more upbeat pieces like ''Tangled Up
in Blue" and ''Meet Me
In
The Morn-
ing" emit a clouded feel. You don't
need to have just gotten out of a
lengthy relationship or lost a relative
to connect; ''Tracks" binds all listen-
ers through a band of emotional
unity - an elemental sadness that
transmits all spectral complexities
through a single continuous expres-
sion.
If
you ever need a good rainy
day to just sit and sort through your
emotional baggage, this is the way to
go.
3. ''The Campfire Headphase" -
Boards Of Canada: Of all Warp
Records' front-line acts, Boards of
Canada was always the most amoe-
bic. Through slower, more introspec-
tive musing and strangely endearing
nostalgic loops, BOC was able to
move European intelligent dance
music (IDM) in a more serene envi-
ronmental direction and away from
the fidgety restlessness of ,A.phex
Twin and Autechre. "Headphase" is
the best example of this direction.
While tracks like "Slow This Bird
Down" and ''Tears From The Com-
pound Eye" would be the perfect
drone for dark, dreary nights, the
general mood of "Headphase" is up-
lifting. "Hey Saturday Sun" incorpo-
rates an addictive acoustic melody
atop BOC's typically impressive ana-
logue backing, while
-
single "Dayvan
Cowboy" plays like a dramatic an-
them of finally watching the sun
burst through the clouds on a dark-
ened day.
Even the "filler'' pieces pack a sce-
nic punch. "Sherbert Head" grinds
atonal blurbs that fit with light
spring showers while "Constants Are
Changing" beautifully turns color-
less pastes to bright greens and or-
ange.
In
general, this record is the per-
fect pick-me-up for when the
weather has got you down.
4. "Kid A" - Radiohead:
''Kid A" is
intense. It is a heavy composition
that physically weighs upon the lis-
tener until the end of the record has
sheathed you down to a nub. There
is no "Creep" here, nor "High and
Dry';
not even a ''Paranoid Android."
It's entirely based on mood with little
to no pop adherence. But, for what it
lacks in general accessibility it suc-
ceeds in passionate delivery. Hot col-
ors swirl over icy-sheaths of horns
and keys (''The National Anthem''),
cellos screech over tattered acoust:i,c
melodies ("How To Disappear Com-
pletely') and murmured, undistin-
guishable vocals spiral around your
head, finally crashing to the ground
(''In
Limbo'').
It's been described as "a
soundtrack to 9/11," while others
claim it to be the living sounds of
David Lynch. Regardless of your
comparison, it is a fearsome work of
art that should be handled with del-
icacy. Save this one for a hurricane
or lightning storm as this is music
you want on as you feel the world
crash beside you.
5. ''The Ecstatic" - Mos Def: ''The
Ecstatic" is the fourth solo studio re-
lease by Mos Def and the first album
to deliver a consistent s~t of material
since his standout 1999 debut
album, "Black On Bqth Sides." But
where "Both Sides" focused on
pump-up rhythms and fast-paced de-
livery, "Ecstatic" takes a much sub-
tler approach. Fusing sounds of
Latin dance, R&B, urban soul and
jazz, Mos Def weaves a series of con-
stantly shifting moods that are all
connected through their laid-back,
low-intensity production. The entire
album is funneled through a low-fre-
quency static e9ating that allows for
each track, regardless of individual
genre, to flow gently into one an-
other, creating a perfect blanket for
you to zone-out in. ''The Ecstatic"
may not be Mos Def s best work
(check out "Black Star''), but it is
ideal background music for your-typ-
ical lousy day.
A possible explanation for the cancellation of "30 Rock"
By
NICOLE
KNOEBEL
Staff Writer
This fall, "30 Rock"'s seventh and
final season premiere debuted to
3.46 million viewers in the U.S. To
many people, it may seem confusing
as to why a show with such a small
following is still on the air - but
those who watch know exactly why.
The quirky, Tina Fey-led show has
amassed a loyal cult following on
NBC, with hysterical one-liners fu-
eled by pop culture and the show's
writers' own teasing of the oft-strug-
gling network. It has spawned nu-
merous catch phrases loved by fans,
like "I want to go to there" and
''Blerg!" The season premiere fea-
tured Alec Baldwin's character, an
NBC network executive, unveiling a
lineup of awful television shows in
order to tank the network and build
from the ground up to increase rev-
enue and ratings. Tina Fey's char-
acter, Liz Lemon, is surprised to
hear that this is a new strategy and
has not been in the works for the
past eight years, blatantly mocking
NBC's recent poor history with lack-
luster ratings and bad corporate
management.
"30 Rocks"'s tendency to make fun
of its own network has left many
wondering
if
this is the reason that
NBC is pulling the plug on the
Emmy and Golden Globe award
winning series. The entire series cir-
cles around a fictional

achieved. The program is also be-

Live," and the dysfunctional profes-
sional and personal lives of the peo-
ple working to put the sketch show
on. Since day one, "30
Rock"
has
.made it a mission of sorts to merci-
lessly tease NBC's current state of
disarray.
But is this the reason for the
ginning to show its age in its last
season. Tina Fey's Liz Lemon is fi-
nally growing up and starting a
family, and other plotlines, such as
Jenna Maroney's bizarre engage-
ment, are beginning to wrap up.
New characters like Hazel are com-
ing in that serve little purpose to
the plot, suggesting that the writers
may be grasping at straws for a
fresh new angle.
IfNBC was really that irritated by
the show's teasing, it would've ad-
dressed the problem from the be-
ginning of "30 Rock"'s run. The
network has allowed the show run-
ners to mock the network for seven
years, and there was nothing evi-
dent in the sixth season that
would've called for an immediate
pulling of the show's plug. Shows on
rival networks like "Family Guy"
also ruthlessly make fun of their re-
spective networ~, in their case Fox,
without a cancellation. "Family
Guy' is now in its eleventh season
with no sign of an immediate can-
cellation anytime soon. It is possible
that the NBC executives may be
slightly more sensitive, but it seems
unlikely. Perhaps "30 Rock"'s time
has simply come.
So after seven seasons of laughs
and antics, "30 Rock" is finally
wrapping up the tales of the fic-
tional ''TGS" gang. Although the
award-winner is coming to a close,
fans can anticipate great comedy to
come in the future from Tina Fey
and Co.

"Skyfall": James Bond's 23rd entry
BY ROBERT CROSSLEY
Circle Contributor
In 1962, movie-going audiences
were treated to a cinematic experi-
ence filled with high stakes action,
plot dripping with intrigue and a
protagonist as suave as he was
deadly. His name was Bond, James
Bond, and his subsequent exploits
would provide Hollywood with a
franchise rich in
fan
appeal and un-
limited hype for years
to come. With
a release date set for Nov. 9, direc-
tor Sam Mendes' "Skyfall," the 23rd
installment in the series, will bring
Bond back to the big screen and
rekindle the fans' love affair with
the British superspy for whom to-
morrow never seems to die.
A
dry
martini-three measures of
Gordon's, one of vodka, half a meas-
ure of Kina Lillet, shaken well over
ice until it's cold throughout, topped
with a thin slice of lemon peel. This
is the Bond formula: a mixture of
gadgets, womanizing, and intrigue
shaken over a blitz of action and
cooled with the iron nerve and
classy charm that permeates
throughout. Keeping with the for-
mula, "Skyfall" is sure to appeal to
longtime 007 fans expecting those
elements of each movie that they
fell in love with since that iconic
theme song first reached their ears.
Man
y
will recognize familiar char-
acter archetypes transcendent of all
007 films. Javier Bardem will play
·
the role of Silva, the lead antago-
nist, who is seemingly omniscient as
he attempts to thwart Bond and
Ml6 at every turn.
Naomie Harris
will surely please as the deliciously
beautiful Bondgirl who, as a rule,
possesses no
defense
against tactful
charm. Diehards will be pleased to
see the return of the Quartermas-
ter, or "Q," who issues Bond his pre-
ferred Walther PPK firearm in
addition to whatever other crazy
gadget the secret service has cooked
up.
Additionally, like all Bond movies-
before it, "Skyfall" will adhere to a
sual moviegoer to check out such
a
tiresome formula?

tried and true Bond tradition that is
instantly recognizable while helping
to keep each movie current: opening
with an original song. Lending her
popularity to Bond's latest adven-

erful set of vocal chords
.
The Eng-
lish singer-songwriter will be
providing an original composition
for the traditional opening sequence
of Bond's 23rd foray into the world
of cinema.
The elements of what longtime
fans have come to expect from 007's
forays into action on Her Majesty's
secret service
ensure
that "Skyfall"
will appeal to a certain target audi-
ence.
But
what can
Bond offer

Craig was chosen as the new Bond,
replacing Pierce Brosnan after nine
years and four films. Through his
first two films as Bond ("Casino
Royale" and "Quantum of Solace"),
Craig has taken the character into
previously uncharted territories,
working within the confines of·the
story to reveal to audiences the
inner psyche of a man who is run-
ning from his fears
,
that runs par-
allel with a cold and calculating spy
who is licensed to kill. This, coupled
with the maternal sentiments
shown to Bond by M, played here by
Judy
Dench,
creates
an
emotional
undercurrent that ups the ante of
the action
as
characters are now
more than
just static
pawns
bereft
of emotional
motivation.
In addition to the attempt to sati-
ate audience need for an emotional
anchor, "Skyfall" will make an at-
tempt to reach out to audiences by
providing a social context that is
congruent with current fears and
cares of a modern society. In 1962,
at the time of Bond's first adven-
ture, the threat of nuclear war
weighed heavily on the minds of
Americans.
It is no surprise then to
learn that the threat in "Dr. No"
was an atomic powered radio beam.
In
the 22 Bond movies since, James
has faced villains that have fiction-
ally symbolized a threat prevalent
in the modern world
.
From "evil"
Russians to biological weapons,
"Skyfall" continues this trend by
continuing the previous two film's
theme of intercultural terrorist or-
ganizations capable of infiltrating
even the most secure areas. "Sky-
falls"'s trailer features the bombing
of public buildings and acts ofter-
rorism meant to send messages to
leaders of the free world (in this
case,
MI6).
The relevancy with
which each Bond movie presents its
plot and the suave hero's triumph
over the pervading fears of the day
has helped to keep turnout for each
installment high.
"Skyfall" appears to be a promising
addition to the ongoing story of
James Bond and MI6, staying true
to its formula while still appearing
different enough to warrant a re-
turn to theatres. Whether it is an
old fan or a curious newcomer who
find themselves witness to 007's
newest tale of danger and sub-
terfuge, Bond will be sure to bring
his best in
an
attempt to survive his
latest mission
so
that he
can
live to
die another day.
"Taken
2":
An unnecessary, but entertaining sequel
BY GEOFFREY
MAGLIOCCHETTI
Staff Writer
2008's ''Taken" is notable for being
a turning point in Liam Neeson's ca-
reer. Neeson, a noted thespian that
earned critical acclaim for dramatic
turns in films like Schindler's List,
took on the role of Bryan Mills, a re-
tired CIA agent out for revenge
when his daughter is kidnapped by
human traffickers in Paris. Shortly
after, Mills sought out his daugh-
ter's kidnappers, found them and
killed them in an unmerciful fash-
ion. Through ''Taken," Neeson
reached a level of bad-assery re-
served mainly for guys like Jason
Statham and Bruce Willis. In the
four years between the "Taken"
movies, Neeson has been the king of
the gods ("Clash/Wrath of the Ti-
tans"), led the greatest military
team into battle (''The A-Team"),
lost and found his identity ("Un-
known") and even took on mother
nature (''The Grey''). Now, the man
with a particular set of skills re-
turns in ''Taken 2."
In terms of unnecessary sequels,

came a financial necessity. How-
ever, ''Taken 2" is
more
than just a
money-grabber and should be cred-
ited for shaking things up a bit. Yes,
we're faced with the same concept ef
Bryan having to save members of
his family, this time his
daughter
Kim
(Maggie Grace) and her mother
(Famke Jansen), but Kim gets a
much
more prominent
role. Reduced
to
being
the
pretty
and helpless
damsel
in distress in part
one, Kim
gets
in
on
the action, first
delivering
a
gun to her father then taking part
in a wild car chase. We also see an
expansion of Bryan's character.
Whereas the first film primarily fo-
cused on Bryan's skills with a gun,
Neeson, who has impressively done
his own stunts for most of the se-
ries, does more hand-to-hand com-
bat in the sequel. The
film
also spots
a set antagonist, unlike the first
movie's villains who were essen-
tially identified by the way Bryan
finished them. Rade Sherbedgia,
the go-to guy for Serbian antago-
nists (in "Snatch" and "Shooter," for
example) portrays Murad, the fa-
ther of one of the men whom Bryan
killed in Paris. Sherbedgia plays a
cruel and ruthless villain that psy-
chologically taunts and teases
Bryan
throughout
the
film.
Renowned French filmmaker Luc
Besson, responsible for foreign gems
like "Leon The Professional" and
''The Fifth Element," makes enough
changes to differentiate the two in
his sequel script.
However, like most
action
sequels,
''Taken 2" falls when it tries to go
higger than its predecessor. The
dif-
ference can be seen in the budget,
which is just
over
triple of the orig-
inal.
Directorial duties go
to
Olivier
Megaton, whose action sequences
are much less organized than
Pierre
Morel's
efforts
in the predecessor.
Megaton has made some enjoyable
films, like ''Transporter 3" and
"Columbiana," but his sequel effort
is subpar compared to Morel's orig-
inal work.
In addition, ''Taken 2" is
not. grounded in the same reality as
the original "Taken," which focused
on the all-too-real horror of human
trafficking, and as a result, the se-
que1 can be somewhat silly at times.
Examples of such scenes include
Bryan giving Kim an impromptu
math lesson over the phone to help
her find his location, and two sepa-
rate sequences where Kim literally
tosses grenades from rooftops.
Overall, though, "Taken 2" is a
satisfying time at the movies. It's an
action movie where you're willing to
look past things like the fact that a
teenage girl, who has already failed
three driving tests, is able to navi-
gate in a manual shift taxi through
the narrow streets of Istanbul at
high speed without a problem.
You're not there for realism. You're
there to see Liam Neeson kill the
bad guys. And with ''Taken 2,"
that's exactly what you get.

Kendrick Lamar's "good kid, m.A.A.d city"
BY BRIAN TABB
Circle Contributor
Once a decade, hip-hop fans are
graced with the new "King" of rap.
In the 80s, it was Rakim with "Paid
In Full," the first rapper to intro-
duce multisyllabic rhyming in his
songs.
In
the 90s, it was Nas, who
introduced the world to street life
with "Illmatic," widely regarded as
the great~st hip-hop album ever.
And in the 00s it was Kanye West,
who pushed hip-hop to the forefront
of the pop music scene by introduc-
ing multi-genre influences and
radio-friendly hooks. So the real
question here is, who leads us now?
Compton MC Kendrick Lamar ap-
pears to be the man for the job.
Lamar's hype has been building
ever since he released his first mix-
tape "Overly Dedicated" in 2010.
His masterful 2011 release, "Sec-
tion.SO" and his numerous guest
verses in 2012 sent the hype train
into overload for his major label
debut
"good
kid, m.A.A.d city," ar-
guably the most anticipated hip-hop
release of the year. Many naysayers
believed Kendrick would succumb
to all the pressure, while others de-
clared him the savior of rap. I am
confident to say that Kendrick has
not only reached the insurmount-
able hype; he, in some ways, has
surpassed it.
"good
kid, m.A.A.d city" is not your
typical rap album. As its second
title suggests it commits to a much
larger artistic range. The subtitle
that Kendrick added is
"A
short
film: By Kendrick Lamar," and boy,
does that ring true. Each of the 12
tracks adds another crucial compo-
nent to overarching autobiographi-
cal plot - the story of Kendrick's
youth growing up in Compton. The
drugs, violence, crime and mayhem
run
rampant
through his "m.A.A.d
city" and document the way he, the
"good
kid" sees them. The story, just
like a crime drama, takes twists and
turns through the use of skits. I
would go into details about the
story, but it's better you experience
it for yourself.
The opening track, "Sherane a.k.a.
Master Splinter's Daughter," seems
to start almost mid-sentence with
Kendrick telling the story of how he
met this girl who would eventually
be his downfall. The song begins
with a prayer. Immediately follow-
ing is a haunting beat protruding
from the depths of the soundscape.
drops about a minute in, transform-
ing into something much more sin-
ister. What ensues is a night of
escapades with the homies smoking,
drinking, fighting gang members
and robbing houses - all done exclu-
sively out of peer pressure, viewed
retrospectively
through
a much
darker lens.
''Poetic Justice," featuring Drake,
is your typical hip-hop love song,
beautifully crafted through bass-
heavy coating. After this,
"good
kid"
and
"m.A.A.d
city," the two title
FROM WWWPITCHFORKMED CO
The bare, seemingly-nothing alternative cover
to
Kendrick Lamar's debute album,
•goog kid, m.A.A.d city," arguably the most anticipated
hip-hop
album
of
the year.
"Backseat Freestyle" the definitive
banger on the album, is a loud, fero-
cious song rapped by Kendrick in
his youthfully ignorant days. The
song dives into Kendrick's previous
rapping life as K.Dot; the foul-
mouthed rapper who spits about
glamorous things he doesn't have.
The most impressive aspect of the
song is Kendrick's flow, which dips
and bends seemlessly off walls of
walls of furious backbeats and sam-
ples. This song will surely be played
at top volume whilst driving around
campus.
The next track, ''The Art Of Peer
Pressure," is storytelling at its
n.nest. With a beautiful intro de-
scribing Kendrick's wrongful ac-
tions with his homies, the beat
tracks, are placed back-to-back; one
detailing Kendrick the good kid and
the other exposing the mad city in
which he lives. In the former
Kendrick uses his lyrical prowess to
compare gang violence with police
brutality, using the colors red and
blue as a ~milarity. The latter,
being a two-part song, which de-
scribes drug life in Compton.
Easily the most emotional rap
song of the year,
"Sing
About Me,
I'm Dying of Thirst," simply has to
be heard, whether you're a fan of
hip-hop or not. The song, clocking in
at an astronomical 12 minutes, is
Kendrick at his best. The first half
contains three separate verses from
three different perspectives, all
~peaking to Kendrick about their
lives. The second half takes on a
much darker perspective that is in
stark contrast to the opening sec-
tion.
However, the greatest strength of
the album is arguably Lamar's
lyri-
cal content. His verses, flow and cre-
ativity are as close as hip-hop has
gotten to perfection in a while. The
complexity of his lyrics performed
on these songs are to die for. A
prime example is the first half of
"m.A.A.d
city" where Kendrick
spazzes on a hype beat about the vi-
olence he endured as a child, hitting
every note on point. Meanwhile, the
production, not only on this track,
but on every one,
is
top-notch. The
diversity portrayed on the album
through the use of beats, from DJ
Dahi's "Money Trees" to T-Minus'
"Swimming Pools," is astounding.
Never before has a single album
sounded so different a~d yet so alike
at the same time.
The album can't be without criti-
cisms, though. Tracks ''Real"
&
"Compton," the final two on the
album sadly don't compete with the
previous 10, They close out the
album very nicely but leave much to
be desired in terms of general
sound. Still, on your typical hip-hop
album these two songs would be
prime for the picking. My only other
critique is that, while the skits are
phenomenal, they sometimes go on
for too long. For instance, the final
two minutes of "Sing About Me, I'm
Dying of Thirst" is devoted to a skit
that actually takes away from the
lasting feel of the track.
Still, these critiques are hardly
anything to scoff at, as this debut is
most certainly a masterpiece. The
album will
·
be considered hip-hop
Album of 2012 by
year's
end, and
will likely be considered a classic
down the road.
"good
kid, m.A.A.d
city" is a triumph in the hip-hop
community, and Kendrick Lamar is
its new leader.

Two alternative perspect·ives on Taylor Swift
BY MICHAEL BERNARDINI
Staff Writer
Unless you're Amish, without
power as a result of Hurricane
Sandy or simply avoidant of all
forms of communication, you're
probably aware that Taylor Swift
released a new album last week. My
biggest round of applause goes to
the singer's PR and marketing
team, as they turned it into a full-
blown media blitz. While some
artists plunk their albums onto
iTunes or the sad CD shelves of dis-
count superstores, Taylor Swift
makes quite the commotion. From
bouncing around the talk show cir-
cuit and magazine covers to hosting
Twitter chats and offering special
incentives
to
megafans, she didn't
just make us aware that she was re-
leasing some new tunes, she com-
manded us to listen. This leads me
to a brief analysis of why I think the
one-time
curly-haired
country
crooner is equal parts pure genius
and absurdly obnoxious.
With four albums full of songs
about boys who broke her heart,
there's no denying that the shtick is
getting old. Jake Gyllenhaal broke
up with you after going on three cof-
fee dates? There's a song for that.
You flirted with the Kennedy curse?
There's a song for that. A mildly at-
tractive stranger didn't hold the
door for you? There's a song for that.
You can't write like that and not be
either an emotional train wreck or
a girl of a rather questionable dis-
position. At times, I actually listen
to these lyrics and imagine myself
hanging out with this girl and bang-
ing my head against concrete pave-
ment. Can someone really be this
whiny and annoying? For some rea-
son, despite hearing these songs on
heavy rotation since high school, I
still can't make my mind up about
her.
At times, I think Taylor Swift's
voice sounds like a menstruating
cat suffering its final round of
chemo while being forced down a
garbage disposal. Other times, my
eyes grow wide and dreamy, and I
begin longing for the suburban girl-
hood I never had, spent admiring
the quarterback's letterman jacket.
Lyrics focusing on such tragic,
cathartic emotions are both over-
the-top and annoying, yet weirdly
understandable. Just listen to a full
album, and you'll find yourself
agreeing
that
all
boys
are
douchebags and that Taylor is so,
like, not crazy.
However, this squeaky-clean
image is another thing I can'.t get
past. Lindsay Lohan has five
mugshots. Miley Cyrus smoked
salvia and cut her
hair
to look like
a Swedish gymnast. Demi Lovato
got drunk and beat the hell out of a
backup dancer. Taylor, you can't be
as sweet as you say you are. I'm not
saying you have to be doing blow
while balancing on a stripper pole,
but show us that you're a real per-
son. The real emotions you write
about aren't experienced by spend-
ing a Saturday night baking cookies
with your cat; you definitely have
taken some shots and felt up a
man's tenders at one point or an-
other. The clean image, and songs
that don't focus on getting slizzered,
are kind of refreshing though. I
thought the only difference between
males and females was tampons;
but Taylor provides a glimpse into
some crazy emotions women face.
Regardless of the debate over her
singing abilities or quality of song-
writing, Taylor Swift is still pretty
annoying. She's also like the little
sister you want to kick out of your
room but also enjoy having around
at times. That's the essence of Tay-
lor: you hate her for what she does,
love her for who she is and accept
the fact that she refuses to leave.
Ultimately, we won't see this fan-
dom die down, or hear a song that's
not about a boy smashing her heart
to smithereens. Therefore, grudg-
ingly accept her and let her do her
thing, because she is never (ever)
going to leave.

to
improve
the ''business" side of intramural
sports at Marist, that is, what can
be learned from this project that
will help the intramural depart-
ment increase participation and im-
prove the overall experience by
female students.
As
a side effort, across the stu-
dent body I want to promote Marist
Athletics and physical fitness. Play-
ing on an athletic team helps im-
prove cooperation and effective
communication skills and teaches
one to cope with competition in a
healthy way. Important individual
traits are developed and enhanced
as well. A mindset
to
succeed, per-
severance, determination, charac-
ter, confidence, self-esteem and
integrity are also instilled in a per-

Staying physically fit helps keep the
mind and body healthy and function
as a whole, and helps with weight
loss and reduces the chance of seri-

The rose
By
DEREK ROSE
Circle Contributor
Everyone has a story
.
In Caylin Moore's case, he has
taken a story that should be
plagued by pain and crippled by dif-
ficul
t
y and written it as a master-
piece. He compares himself to a rose
that grows from concret~an allu-
sion to a poem by Tupac Shakur.
Through profound adversity and in-
finite grief, CaylJn has risen to be-
come something and someone that
few people ever thought he could.
Caylin stands 6'1, weighs 175
pounds, runs a 40-yard dash in 4. 7
seconds, and he can throw a football
60 yards-plus on the fly. He's had
scouts raving about him since he
was a junior at Verbum Dei High
School in Los Angeles, California.
Today, two years and three thou-
sand miles later, Caylin is a red-
shirt freshman quarterback for
Marist College.
He is a mobile quarterback-when
the pocket collapses, Caylin is able
to escape the pressure and run.
When his home life began to col-
lapse at the age of six, however, he
chose not to.
Caylin's hometown, Carson, bor-
ders Compton--0ne of the most
crime-ridden and gang-infested
cities in the country. In the area in
which he lives, it is not unusual to
hear sirens ring late into the night,
watch drug deals happen on shad-
owed street corners, walk past
homeless men languishing on filth-
covered sidewalks, or even lose a
loved one. Living in such a district
leads people down roads paved in
crime and regret, but Caylin has
chosen to walk a more virtuous
path.
This past year, Caylin was a re-
cipient of the prestigious CDF-Cali-
fornia

by Marian Wright Edelman to

lence and perseverance in the face

come from areas like Compton. In
On life's brink she underwent a
LA County, everyone knows their
odds: the odds that three out of ten
people won't graduate, the odds that
11.2% will be arrested in their lives,
and the odds that they could be an-
other of the 4,197 people murdered
there this year.
Caylin knows these odds, but no
one keeps statistics for what he and
his family went through. There is no
percentage that indicates the
chances of your mother being sexu-
ally assaulted in her hospital room
after open-heart surgery. No num-
ber can predict that your .father will
shoot his girlfriend from point-
blank range. And no data can be
compiled to illustrate how difficult
it is to endure all this, but Caylin
has gone through all three. To fully
know Caylin now and appre.ciate his
character, it is essential to start
from the beginning.
When Caylin was six years old his
mother and father divorced-a
rather normal aspect of childhood.
What wasn't normal, however, was
the barrage of abuse that Caylin's
father would unleash upon his fam-
ily each night.
"You always see those stories on
T.V. about a woman taking abuse
for years and years and never say-
ing anything, and even letting the
children taking the abuse as well,"
Caylin said. "But my mom was
strong. She wasn't that woman that
you see on T.V. She decided, 'You
know what, I've got to get my kids
out of this situation."'
After Caylin and his mother, older
sister and younger brother moved
out of their home to escape abuse,
they lived in a one-room apartment
and had to sleep in the same bed at
night. During the day Caylin's
mother would
work
two jobs to sup-
port her kids and attend classes at a
local community college. When
Caylin was eight, his mother re-
quired drastic surgery.
"She went in for open heart sur-
gery-she had a tumor on her
heart," Caylin said. ''That was dev-
astating enough for us because I
thought I was going to lose my mom
successful, yet rigorous surgery-
the doctors assured her that she
would make a full recovery. How-
ever, they couldn
'
t predict .from
what else she would need to recover.
She can still remember the sight of
the hospital employee assaulting
her while she lay in bed, incapable
of moving because of the anestq.esia
.
"I feel like God takes you through
things only when he knows that you
can finish the mission. My mom is
strong. God knows that'," Caylin
said.
He was right. His mother over-
came trauma and finished a mission
with which no human should be
burdened. Much of her recovery
stemmed from Caylin. He noticed a
difference in his mother's personal-
ity soon after the surgery and knew
something was wrong
.
He took his
mother to the shower and urged her
to wash her hair-something he
later said he had seen in a movie.
After this simple act, Caylin's
mother was slowly revitalized
.
Since then, Caylin's mother gradu-
ated law school and now works for
multiple law firms doing wills,
trusts and estate planning for their
local church
.
She is also a professor
ofla~ at Summit College in Califor-
nia.
When he was sixteen, Caylin was
taken off the field during football
practice and told that his father had
shot his girlfriend at point-blank
range. She was dea~, and he was
missing.
Caylin thought back to when his
father would come home late at
night with stray cats that he had
found and shoot them in the second
floor of their house. He could see the
cold look of malice in his father's
eyes and hear his furious yelling
y.,hen he would abuse Caylin and
his family. A decade after Caylin's
parents divorced, his father was
still causing pain. Two years later,
Caylinbears no resentment towards
his father; he says that his father's
actions only harmed himself and no
one else.
Today, Caylin has taken all of
these childhood wounds, painful
memories and arduous struggles to
become the man that he is. But who
is he?
Caylin is intelligent: he holds a 3. 7
G.P.A,
majoring in economics and
minoring in Spanish
.
He is also
highly ambitious; Caylin hopes to
become the president of a bank
foundation in the Los Angeles area
someday. As president
,
he would
give money to inner
-
city charities
,
scholarship programs and housing
plans.
''We forget about children and
those are the ones that lead the fu-
ture," Caylin said
.
Caylin is dedicated and puts every
-
thing he has not only into his
schoolwork, but into football as well.
''To me, being a Division I athlete
means discipline
,
it means focus
and it means you have to hold your-
self to another standard," Caylin
said. ''You have-to set yourself apart
a little bit and put yourself in a
dif-
ferent path, but still be the same
humble person."
Caylin is also thoughtful. On his
desk sits a copy of the Bibl~which
he reads each morning before be-
ginning his day and each night be-
fore going to sleep. Right next to the
Bible he keeps a small, black
leather journal with all the words
he wants to give to his son one day.
One of the lines that can be found in
the book comes from the movie ''The
Shawshank Redemption": "Some
birds aren't meant to caged; their
feathers are just too bright."
In
the drawer of his desk, Caylin
keeps a black-and-white picture of a
rose sprouting out of concrete. From
his concrete garden, Caylin has
grown to be that rose, and the stars
in his future shine brighter than
most who have gone through his
struggles. He is a man filled with
virtue, a lit candle in the darkness,
a boom box in a silent room and a
rose that grew from concrete.
Caylin Moore stands 6_'1, he
weighs 175 pounds, he runs a 40-
yard dash in 4. 7 seconds, and he can
throw a football 60 plus-yards on
the fly. But his heart is immeasura-
ble.
Women's soccer take number one seed

The Marist women's soccer team
gave themselves some momentu
·
m
heading into the MAAC Tourna-
ment as they won a pair of 1-0
games over Loyola and Rider. The
win over Rider gave the Red Foxes
the MAAC Regular Season crown by
virtue of their head-to-head victory
over Fairfield on Oct. 12.
Amanda Epstein scored both goals
for the team over the weekend, once
again proving her clutch ability for
the team this- season.
"Amanda Epstein has proven her-
self to be a 'clutch' player on the
field... Amanda uses her soccer
sense to be three steps ahead of the
play and technically, I would go as
far to say she can match up with the
best players in the nation," second-
year head coach Kate Lyn said.
On Friday night, the first half f ea-
tured strong defense from both sides
with just one quality scoring chance
apiece for the two teams.
In the 13th minute, Loyola's Brit-
tany Yancey found her way through
the defense before being denied by
Marist keeper Andrea Wicks.
For the hosts, Epstein played a
great ball up the sideline to fresh-
man Megan McEnroe who couldn't
quite get a foot on it before Grey-
hounds' goalie Didi Haracic inter-
cepted the pass.
10 minutes into the second half,
Ryck~ Guiney took a pass from Ep-
stein only to have her shot turned
away by Haracic.
The game wouldn't remain score-
less for much longer however as Ep-
stein was award~d a penalty kick
for a Loyola handball and slid the
ball into the lower right portion of
the net for a 1-0 lead which would
prove to be the eventual game win-
ner.
Over the final 30 minutes of game
action, the best opportunities for the
Greyhounds came in the 67th and
87th minute
.
a. Both plays involved
Nichole Schiro, who, for the latter
chance, was chased down by
Marist's Kylee McIntosh, who poked
the ball just out of the dangerous
area to keep the game in favor of the
Red Foxes.
For the match, the Red Foxes out- .
shout the Greyhounds 8-7, includ-
ing a 6-3 edge in shots on target.
On the program's Senior Day on
Sunday afternoon, senior keeper
Caitlin Landsman came up big in
net with a shutout as the tea~ held
on to defeat Rider 1-0.
Each team registered six shots
apiece in the first half with once
again each team registering one
quality chance apiece. For the
Broncs, Landsman tipped a shot
from 20 yards out just over the
crossbar.
As
for Mari.st, Alycia Cartica de-
livered a beautiful shot that went
directly off the crossbar.
The game would remain scoreless
as the teams entered the locker
room. Early on in the second half,
Epstein got her team on the board
as ghe made a pretty move to beat a
couple of Rider defenders for her
seventh goal of the season and 13th
game winner of her career.
The sophomore from Jericho, NY
was named the MAAC Offensive
Player of the Week.
After taking the lead, the Broncs
tried to play catch-up but managed
only a handful of chances.
Meanwhile, senior Jackie Frey
nearly made it a 2-0 contest at the
56-minute mark as she received a
punt from Landsman and made a
move towards the net before the ball
was deflected away by a Rider

The offense scored four touch-
downs of over 75 yards, the defense
continued its strong play inside the
red zone, and the Marist football
team cruised to a dominating
44-7
victory over conference rival Val-
paraiso on Saturday, in Indiana.
Offensively, the Red Foxes put
together arguably their most com-
plete performance of the season,
running for 349 yards and throwing
for 312 more to total 661 yards on
the afternoon. They had two 100-
yard rushers: Emmanuel Onakoya
(110 yards on seven carries and a
touchdown) and Max Jacques (128
yards on nine carries and a touch-
down)-
.
Michael Rios led all receivers
with two touchdowns and 193 yards
on four catches
.
"It was a very nice football game
for us offensively," head coach Jim
Parady said. ''We completed a high
percentage of our passes, our offen-
sive line worked hard in the
trenches
,
and our running backs
made some people miss at the sec-
ond and third level. Anytime you
have those three [phases] it is going
to inake for a very good game."
Parady gave lot of credit to the
running backs corps, who have

worked hard this season to get to
the level that they are at now, ac-
cording to their coach.
"What we are seeing is their un-
derstanding of blocking schemes,
and knowing where people are
going to come at them at the second
and third level. Their vision is
a
lot
better [at this point of the season].
Onakoya and Jacques each had
long touchdown runs in the game.
Early in the second quarter, On-
akoya burst through the middle for
before the end of the first half,
Jacques broke for a 96-yard run into
the end-zone to put Marist up 30-0.
Parady also gave credit to the
passing game, where Chuckie
Looney, who missed the team
'
s pre-
vious game, threw for 232 yards and
two touchdowns
.
Looney once again
connected with Rios for two long
touchdowns. The first, a 97-yard
catch about five minutes into the
first quarter, was the longest play
from scrimmage in Marist history.

Parady said of his team's success in
the vertical game. ''It was nice to see
us take advantage of how Val-
paraiso covere
d
us."
Rios continued his strong red-
shirt senior season with his per-
formance on Saturday. He earned a
College
Football
Performance
Award, the second time he has
earned that recognition this season.
The Marist players on the other
side of the ball also played well
against the Crusaders, surrender-
ing only seven points and stopping
their opponents on their three trips
to the red zone. Safety Zach Adler
led the way for the Red Foxes, to-
taling nine tackles "and two inter-
ceptions. He was named PFL
Defensive Player of the Week for his
efforts.
"Especially in the red zone, this
defensive performance was very sat-
isfying
.
Our defense is ranked Num-
ber One in the conference, and we
left this game feeling good about our
job," Parady said.
The Red Foxes will return home
after two straight road games on
Saturday, when they host Pioneer
League rival San Diego. Kickoff is
scheduled for 4:00 p.m. San Diego
currently has a
