Victims of sexual violence 'Take Back the Night'
By
MYLES WILLIAMS
Circle Contributor
On the night of April 3, Marist's
"Take Back the Night" encouraged no
more silence from the many who ex-
·
perienced or knew people who experi-
enced sexual violence.
The event, sponsored by Kappa
Lambda Psi and the Social Work
As-
sociation, gave over 80 people a three-
hour life-changing experience that in-
cluded seeing, hearing and sharing
heartbreaking stories of moments of
abuse that once took over their lives.
The entire event was
run
by Marist
senior Christina Penin, a member of
Kappa Lambda Psi.
'1t's surprising to hear how many
people actually are affected by [sex-
ual violence],'' said Caitlin Canevale,

Marist's Relay for Life returns to Riverside Park
By
BRENNA
MCKINLEY
News Editor
As
of April 10,
529
participants
have formed 45 teams and have
raised
$32,550
to fight cancer
through Marist College's
2012
Relay
for Life. The Marist Relay for Life
committee hopes to raise
$65,000
by
the event, which will be held on Fri-
day, April 13 from
12
p.m. to mid-
night at Riverside Park.
Marist's Relay for Life is part of a
national fundraiser by the American
Cancer Society, which aims to raise
awareness, remembrance and money
toward the fight against cancer.
"Last year we were pretty close,
raising
$57,500,"
said Marist Relay
for Life committee member, Nguyen
Pham. "Our Relay specifically does
not have many participants com-
pared to other schools, so it's a huge
feat in itself."
To increase participation in this
year's event, the committee has tried
to open up the event to the greater
Poughkeepsie community.
''We
will
be painting on car win-
dows to raise awareness about Relay,
working with Vassar College and get-
ting Marist's Relay to be about the
Poughkeepsie community instead of
being a hole in a
wall,''
Pham said.
This year, three 10-percent profit
fundraisers
were
held at local restau-
rants Chili's, Applebee's and SQul
Dog.
''We typically only do one, so that
was cool,'' Pham said. ''The Soul Dog
one was cool because a week before,
the senior bucket list video came out
and Soul Dog was on it. We used that
as a marketing tool to get people to
try Soul Dog for the first time
if
they
haven't, while helping Relay."
Fundraising techniques aren't the
only new elements of this year's
Relay. The Survivor's Ceremony, typ-
ically held earlier in the afternoon,
has been moved to the evening to at-
tract more cancer survivors from the
Poughkeepsie community. Care-
givers will also be honored for the
first time this year alongside sur-
vivors in a VIP tent.
This year's fundraising totals
will
be updated live on http://relayfor-
life.org/maristcollege
from
now
through Friday's event. The site al-
lows you to view Marist College's
fundraising totals, as well as totals
raised by both teams and individuals.
This
year's committee chair, Nicole
Dopp, has recently raised enough
money to
be
recognized as a fundrais-
ing AU-Star, a title given from the
American Cancer Society to individ-
uals who have raised over
$2,500
for
Relay for Life. Dopp has surpassed
this total, having raised over
$3,500
this year.
''There have only been one or two
[All-Stars] in the entire New
York/New Jersey district, so that's
huge,'' Pham said.
The Marist College Relay for Life
committee is accepting registrations
for this year's event up until Friday,
April
13.
Registration costs
$20
and
donations can come in cash or check
form at registration. Registration can
also be completed online by credit
card. For more information, visit
http://relayforlife.org/maristcollege,
or the Marist RelayforLife Facebook
page.

On
Friday,
April 13, Riverside Park
will
be
transformed
into
the

This year,
organizers
hope
to
expand
the
event
to
include more of
the
Poughkeepsie
community.

'Take Back the Night' breaks the silence on sexual a·buse
additional shirts with written tes-
timonies from victims at the
Grace Smith Hous-e were on dis-
play.
From here, 21 college-aged men
and women told their traumatic
stories of sexual violence. For
some of the speakers, it was not
the first time sharing these sto-
ries, which gave others the
courage to share their experi-
ences.
Some people came to the podium
prepared to read a testimony,
while others were prepared, yet
still a little hesitant to talk of vie-.
tims close to them. Their emotions
were heard in their slightly shaky
voices and occasional long pauses.
The audience could see the anger
and sorrow on their faces and
their courage to speak out for
those that they love
.
Some stories highlighted the re-
ality that friends are sometimes
lost through sexual violence and
perpetrators still walk the streets.
Others highlighted the horrid re-
ality that sometimes attackers are
family members or great friends of
the family, that sexual attacks
happen at parties and that some
types of sexual violence happen on
the Marist cam_pus.
A few testimonies discussed how
family members may not believe
their own child and either pretend
that what they heard was a made
up s'tory or completely reject
them.
There were people at the podium
who had shared their stories in
previous "Take Back the Night"
events,
and
expressed
the
strength they recovered from sim •
ply breaking their silence. Their
testimonies influenced others who
had never shared their story.
Though tears were triggered for
many, each of the speakers took
all the time that they needed to
tell their stories.
As the night died down around
12:30
a.m
.
, group hugs filled the
PAR. Everyone had smiles on
their faces. Members of Kappa
Lambda Psi talked about how
amazing it was to see that many
people share their stories. The
number of attendees was a sign of
hope that more people will be will-
ing to speak out against sexual
abuse and violence in the future,
thereby educating the community
and bringing this issue to light.

DiBlasi and Gelok gear up for a successful adD1inistration
By
JENNA GRANDE
News Editor
On March 30, after the SGA Transi-
tion Dinner, an era officially came to
an end ThePaulsen--aourlier admin-
istration formally came to a close as
the dynamic duo Paul DiBlasi and
Brian Gelok took reign in their new
roles as Student Body President and
Executive Vice President.
Since their tight win by 81 votes
back in March, the DiBlasi and Gelok
team have made it a priority to
fulfill
and live up to promises made during
their campaign. With the semester
winding down, they have dived head
first into organizing all of their plans
for the 2012-2013 school year.
Achieving these plans, however, re-
quires a sound and strong executive
board.
Those interested in serving on
the executive board must go through
an application and selection process.
The
final
decisions come down to Di-
Blasi and Gelok, who must decide
if
the candidates fit their criteria.
So
what is their criteria exactly?
"First and foremost, it has to be
their dedication and work ethic," Di-
Blasi said. "The candidate needs to
have a track record of being passion-
ate for this school and their beliefs.
Another trait that I strongly consid-
ered when looking at candidates is
their cooperation and teamwork
skills. We are trying to establish and
foster a teamwork mentality."
Gelok agreed with DiBlasi. He con-
siders it necessary that the executive
board has members who share the
same vision as the DiBlasi-Gelok
team.
''I
want people on our e-board who
enjoy helping others while they are
helping themselves achieve all that
they aspire to," Gelok said.
This
task proved daunting to them,
however. There is always the fear of
not having the right people for the
right job or having issues trying to fill
specific spots. Dubbed "a good prob-
lem to have" by Gelok, the two admit-
ted
that the real challenge was choos-
ing between
too
many qualified can-
didates for each position.
''The problem was not filling the
po-
sitions," DiBlasi said ''It was choosing
between all of the qualified and pas-
sionate and enthusiastic candidates."
Junior Steve Sabato filled one of
these qualified positions as the new
Director of Communications. Sabato,
who had not previously been a mem-
ber of SGA, decided to become in-
volved in the democratic process after
being personally sought after by
Di-
Blasi and Gelok. No stranger to work-
ing with different media outlets,
Sabato has previous experience in the
field and as a leader as the president
of
WMAR.
He hopes to bring a new
and different perspective to the Di-
Blasi-Gelok team.
"I decided to get involved in SGA in
order to bring in different perspectives
and ideas to the table," Sabato said.
''Instead of SGA only hearing from the
same people actively involved, I
wanted to give a voice to other per-
spectives that may not have been con-
sidered or thought of."
One noteworthy and familiar face
will
be returning to the e-board under
the DiBlasi-Gelok regime: Michael
Johnson. After losing the tight presi-
dential race to DiBlasi, Johnson effec-
tively ended
his
leadership role as the
chair of the Safety and Security Com-
mittee. However, under a new pro-
gram Gelok has created, Johnson
will
.
begin next year as the Director of
·
Community Relations.
"Essentially, Michael
will
be the
co-
chair of each civility campaign event
SGA sponsors," Gelok said
The SGA Civility Campaign is a
program started by the 2010-2011
Student Body President Matt Lu-
brano in response to the dramatic in-
crease in bullying cases nationwide.
This is not Johnson's only role how-
ever; he
will
also be involved in coor-
dinating and leading all community
service projects outside of the school.
''Michael has
good
people skills and
is the man for this job," Gelok said.
''The DiBlasi-Gelok administration is
pushing for students to become more
involved in the community and to give
back as much as they possibly can.
This is a great way to start that."
With the DiBlasi-Gelok adminis-
tration only just beginning, the lead-
ers
sought
advice
from
the
Paulsen-Bourlier
administration
throughout the transition period in
re-
gards to how to best prepare them-
selves and their e-board. DiBlasi and
Gelok said that Andrew Paulsen and
April Bourlier were extremely helpful
and made their transitions "seam-
less." Sabato explained that he hoped
to continue on the great work of the
former Director of Communications
Nicolette Spallanzani.
''Nicolette was enthusiastic about
the [SGA] newsletter and communi-
cation," Sabato said "She explained to
me she wants me
·
to continue the
newsletter and expand it. With my ex-
perience in MCTV, the WMAR and
The Circle, working with media out-
lets and expanding this should not be
too
bad."
Even as the clock continues to tick
toward the end of semester, however,
DiBlasi and
.
Gelok do not see their
plans-or themselves-slowing down.
The duo
has
already begun organizing
their campaign promises and courses
of action into different tasks for them
to work on over the summer. Fearing
a "stagnant'' beginning, DiBlasi and
Gelok want to make sure they are
putting their best effort forward.
''We
are
not going to back down from
the promises we made while cam-
paigning," DiBlasi said. ''We are
staffed with an executive board that
believes in
.
us and supports us. We
are
going to tackle the issues like parking,
dining concerns and overcrowding at
the
gym."
Gelok added that he wanted ''things
to be ready to go" for when students
returned back on campus in August.
DiBlasi, Gelok, Sabato and the rest
of the e-board encourages students
who have any questions, comments,
concerns or would like to become more
involved in SGA to stop by the office
located in the Student Center, room
346.
''We are trying to make an effort to
be as inclusive and welcoming as pos-
sible," DiBlasi said. "Anyone should
feel
free
to join and help make a
dif.
ference on our campus."

Gasland - a lot of hot air and no winds of change
By
JEFF BASS
Circle C"ntributor
I used to work for a man who said
''Don't come to me with problems-
bring me solutions." People who
have never had such a boss become
documentary filmmakers like Josh
Fox, because they are much better
at pointing out problems than with
suggesting answers.
In case you were not in the Nelly
Goletti theater on April 4, Fox is di-
rector of 'Gasland', a scathing in-
dictment offracking, a process used
to mine natural gas. Fox's film re-
veals how the practice fouls water
supplies with a mind-boggling array
of chemicals, exacting a terrible toll
on the environment and the health
of nearby humans and animals.
The takeaway for me was that nat-
ural gas, while cleaner-burning
than coal or oil, is not the green al-
ternative it appears touted to be.
Methods of extraction make it every
bit as filthy as its fossil fuel cousins.
This could have been accomplished
by a 30-minute documentary.
But 'Gasland' doesn't stop there.
It
goes on to demonize the compa-
nies that would commit such repre-
hensible acts. They are depicted as
monolithic, mercenary, and com-
pletely without conscience. When
the lights came up, I was convinced
I was the only person in the room
who had not forgotten that environ-
mental damage and sickness was
not the primary goal of the compa-
nies. These are undesirable byprod-
ucts of their main purpose--to
provide energy, lots of it, energy we
not only want, but expect and de-
mand. This begs the question: if
fracking is to cease, where will the
energy come from?
Fox knew better than to pick a
fight with his fellow activists by
suggesting we import more oil or
build new nuclear plants.
The
armies of anti-petrol and anti-nuke
protesters are standing by, signs in
hand, having been recently mobi-
lized by the Gulf spill and Japane_se
quake, respectively. In "Gasland's"
one hundred-and-seven minute run-
ning time, Fox utters a single line of
voice-over, ''Why can't we just make
a solar cell?''
So that's it. The natural gas that
would come from fracking, not to
mention the eighty million-plus bar-
rels of oil used daily, and the shut-
tered nuclear plants will be replaced
by solar power. But 'Gasland' con-
tains no interviews with engineers,
no statistics about how this would
be accomplished, how long it would
take, nor what it would cost.
In fairness, Fox went a bit farther
in his comments after the filn{ but
not much. He said "all the parking
lots at Marist College could be cov-
ered with solar panels. And if your
car was electric, you could plug it
in!" This was met with cheers from
the crowd, having been whipped
into an anti-fracking frenzy. Fox
charges that the defenders of frack-
ing do not deal in facts. The same
could be said when he offers up
solar power as a sustainable alter-
native. I would be interested in a
technical assessment of whether or
not solar panels the size of Marist's
parking lots would really power its
buildings, with enough to spare for
charging cars.
Solar cells have been around my
entire life. I can't remember a sin-
gle candidate from either party
campaigning on
a
platform of re-
placing fossil fuels with solar cells.
If
it were practical, surely someone
would have ridden the solar panel
express to victory in an election by
now - but it is not practical. Like
other alternative power sources,
solar does not produce as much en-
ergy as the loathsome fossil fuels.
Another way Fox preserved his
popularity with the Goletti crowd
that night was to not suggest they
consume less power. He didn't ask
if they would be willing to give up
their DVRs and HDTV s,
if
they
would drive much smaller cars at
lower speeds with reduced range.
He didn't request they use air con-
ditioning only when the mercury
goes above ninety or that they line-
dry their laundry. That is because
he knows the Millennials are the
most technology-addicted genera-
tion in history, and they are simply
not going to live without their gadg-
ets and the energy to power them.
Like politicians, Josh Fox and
filmmakers of his ilk are unwilling
to tell people things they do not
want to hear. Remedies for prob-
lems of this magnitude will require
compromise, sacrifice, and changes
in lifestyles that will mean--here's
the dirty word-inconvenience.
Anyone who says there are simple
solutions is selling something.

Come

but

small
By
ALLISON BOLCH
Circle Contributor
Women in America today can all
relate to this scenario: you're walk -
ing through the mall with your
friends and out of the corner of your
eye you spot Victoria's Secret, in all
its "sexy" glory. The model in the
poster near the window is showing
off her assets and her size zero
waistline
to
all of your fellow mall-
goers. You may think to yourself,
''If
only I could look like that and feel
as sexy as that model appears to
·
be."
Victoria's Secret and other popu-
lar name brand stores often do not
carry pants or tops larger than a
size 12 or XL in their stores. This
forces curvier girls to special order
their fashions or denies them the
styles they want
to
wear.
Stephanie Dibble, '15, stated that,
''Victoria's Secret should be carrying
the larger sizes. The store is associ-
ated with feeling sexy I suppose,
and for the store to not carry certain
sizes could cause curvier girls to
think that they can't be sexy or
beautiful."
Kristina Garcia, '15, said "I think
it's reasonable to carry up to a size
XXL in tops and a size 20 in bot-
toms, but, otherwise, women bigger
than that really should special order
their merchandise because there's
not likely to be a large number of
women who have those very specific
size needs. I'm not asking that they
completely change their whole mar-
ket, as there are stores especially
for fuller figured women, like Lane
Bryant, but they also should not ex-
clude that market just to keep with
.
the idea of a 'perfect woman'.
11
The fact that Victoria's Secret and
other popular name brand stores ex-
clude women that require larger
sizes can make them feel alienated
by the stores or as
if
they are "not
n9rmal". This could no doubt con-
tribute to the making of a negative
body image in women with curvier
bt>dies.
Essence Grant, '15, said "[The fact
that stores like Victoria's Secret
don't carry very many larger sizes
for curvier girls] makes me feel as
if
I need to be thinner and somehow
get abs to rock the hottest outfits
like the girls on TV and in maga-
zines. I am a tad frustrated [by this
fact], but I try to find my own hot
styles that compliment my body''.
Garcia, '15, said "Although I am
not a
curvy
woman right now, I used
to be. I grew up as a larger size and
it's really tough on you as a person
to not have things fit right on you
because they're not made for people
of your size. The clothes will run
s:niall just to enforce this particular
self-image where you're not sup-
posed to be o..verweight because
other girls can fit just fine in these
clothes and you should too. It still
bothers me the way certain things
fit and society has made me so self-
conscious over the years that even
now, at 126 pounds, I don't always
feel comfortable trying on clothes
because they're made for this one
ideal body type that isn't attainable
to everyone."
The unreasonableness of Victo-
ria's Secret gets even more shocking
in a study that was done to demon-
strate the impractical sizing of Vic-
toria's Secret's brand, "Pink".
Victoria's Secret's size extra small
underwear was compared to a JC
Penny's girl's size 6/6x which is in-
tended to fit a young girl of age 7-8.
It was found that the width of the
area to span across the hips was sig-
nificantly similar and gave the im-
pression that this is the ideal size to
fit into, which is overall highly un-
reasonable and dangerously un-
healthy.
Thinner girls are also under the
impression that they must maintain
their thin size so that they can keep
their "perfect" body image, which
the media has continually drilled
into them.
Maria Sommer, '15, said, "Curvier
girls should have the right to walk
into a store, try on some clothes,
and feel good about themselves.
[Even though I am a thinner girl,
this] does have an impact on my
body image. It can be so easy to
completely freak out at the smallest
notice of weight gain and it can
cause you to take extreme rnea~ures
to prevent it from happening again".
Kimberly McVetty,'15, said,
''There are times when I've gone to
Victoria's Secret and haven't been
able to find my size, mainly because
I'm so small. I know people hate to
hear this com plaint and call it a
'skinny bitch' problem, but it's true.
Not being able to find a bra for my
32A, maybe even AA frame if we're
being honest, in a store that is de~
signed to sell undergarments is a bit
aggravating".
Stores that don't cater to the
needs of all women and sizes may
have a very negative and long-last-
ing effect on women's body images.
Sommer, '15, said she believes the
consequences could be numerous.
"It could be anything from eating
disorders, to body image distortion,
to psychological issues. Really it just
puts a negative light on the fashion
industry as a whole." With the cur-
rently high prevalence of eating
dis-
orders, it should come as no shock to
learn that denying curvier girls the
freedom to wear what styles they
desire could lead to the notion that
since they are not thin, they cannot
be beautiful.
McVetty,'15, said, "Our culture
has always valued extrinsic beauty,
as hav~ most societies since the be-
ginning of time. This is nothing
new, and although the pressures
are more prevalent today because of
the mass media and Internet,
women and men alike have felt
pressure to model society's vision of
'beautiful' or 'handsome' of the
time."
Our culture's tendency to value
external beauty rather than inter-
nal beauty is not a new issue nor is
it something people are unaware of.
But, stores like Victoria's Secret
should definitely take notice of
these issues and start to do some-
thing about it. One size does not fit
all in today's society, and it will be
only when stores like Victoria's Se-
cret realize this that a positive
change in body image will be on the
horizon.

Marist's 26th annual fashion show approaches
By
RACHEL SWEENEY
Staff Writer
From behind the glass doors of the
Fashion Department comes a cam-
pus-wide promotional campaign
that invites everyone to share in the
excitement surrounding the 26th
Annual Silver Needie Fashion
Show.
The Fashion Department has de-
cided to welcome the student body
back from Easter break with some
strategically placed fashion figures
around campus.
These fa~hion figures have been
placed in the Champagnat Breeze-
way and the Donnelly building,
catching the attention of multiple
students around campus.
The Fashion Department holds
two fashion shows every spring se-
mester, with an average of about
2100 people attending the shows
each year.
''Last year's show was really great.
I'm really looking forward to at-
tending this show as well," sopho-
more Rachel Mendoza said.
With the Silver Needle fast ap-
proaching, the figures are intended
to drive ticket sales and give the
Marist community a taste of this
year's production. As you may have
seen, there are various fashion fig-
ures posted around campus.
Maybe you've noticed one just out-
side the Fashion Department in
Donnelly? According to the Fashion
Department, a person can win tick-
ets to the Silver Needle show simply
by Tweeting about certain fashion
related figures that they see on
campus.
The 26th Annual Silver Needle
Fashion show will be held at the
Mid-Hudson Civic Center on May
4th.

The Facebook Disorder: A new type of addiction
By
BRITTANY OXLEY
Features Editor
Making relationships "Facebook
official," "liking'' something, and
"posting on someone's wall" are only
some of the few phrases that we
have all become familiar with
thanks to the popular social net-
working website
,
Facebook.
Initially created for the sole pur-
pose of connecting college students,
Facebook is now used by most peo-
ple all over the world. According to
CNN, Facebook currently has about
two hundred million users, and in-
creases its number of users every
day.
With such a website available that
just about everybody is on, it is not
surprising that people have become
"addicted" to Facebook.
Facebook is the virtual place you
can visit when you are putting off
studying for that big final the next
day, the place you can go to stalk
that ex-boyfriend or girlfriend of
yours, or to look at the profiles of
people you have never met before,
simply because you are curious or
bored out of your mind.
''I
go on Facebook basically every
day," said Kerianne Caprara. "I am
not sure why I even go on it so
much. It's just something to do."
Why are people so determined to
visit this website every day? The
reason for this may be because
Facebook provides people with the
opportunity to connect with a wide
array of people and portray to those
people just how "perfect" their life
18.
In
a way, Facebook provides a tool
for people to create an alter ego for
themselves to feed their inner inse-
curities.
On Facebook, a person can make
their lives look as perfect as they
want it to be. He or she can enhance
his or her own attractiveness, sim-
ply by altering his or her pictures
using an array of photo editing web-
sites. Many hope that after doing
so, a large number of people will
''like" or comment on their picture.
These people can also create sta-
tuses about just how successful
.
their life has been or go out of their
way to post pictures after an excit-
ing night out, just to show other
people how great their lives really
are.
Dr. Michael Fenichel argues that
Facebook has created a new type of
mental disorder that he likes to call,
"Facebook Addiction Disorder," or
FAD.
"For some, the 'apps' seem to be to-
tally compelling, for hours on
end,"Dr. Fenichel says. "For others,
Facebook is used more like email: to
keep in touch with a group, some-
times serious, sometimes playful,
and sometimes simply sharing. But
the fact of how ingrained Facebook
has become culturally is one which
is easy to miss, because, well, every-
body's doing it!"
Because Facebook holds the infor-
mation of everyone you have ever
thought about, or were secretly jeal-
ous of, while at the same time al-
lowing for 24/7 communitation
access, this website has become ex-
tremely addictive.
According to CNN, there are five
ways to dete:r:mine whether or not
you have conformed into a Facebook
addict yourself:

jWWW.TOPNEWS.IN/COMPANIES/FACEBOOKF
Many, out of the 200 million users on Fac:ebook, have developed Fac:ebook addic-
tions without even realizing
it
after frequent use of the social networking website.
1.)
you stay up late at night to the
point where you lose sleep to go on
Facebook; 2.) you spend more than
one hour a day on Facebook; 3.) you
become obsessed with old loved ones
or people you barely know in real
life; 4.) you ignore important work
that must be done in order to go on
Facebook; and 5.) you feel stressed
if you cannot go on Facebook for at
least a day at a time.
According to
Dr.
Fenichel, "One of
the ironies is that the very people
who might otherwise be working
with people p
_
rofessionally to treat
addictions, social isolation, etc.,
seem to be themselves among the
most active Facebookers."
Rethink how and why you spend
your time on Facebook. You may be
an addict without even realizing it.

Wild ways to heal your health problems and put off the pounds
By ASHLEY LAMPMAN

It
seems that nowadays anyone
is willing to try the latest fad, es-
pecially when that fad can help
you drop a few pounds or cure a
sickness.
If
it promises to burn
away your belly fat or heal your
health problems, people set out to
see if it is the magic elixir they
have been waiting for. Over the

craze. How extreme have people
gone to drop the fat and fast? Ac-
cording to Self Magazine, people
have donned MXP Calorie Shaper

burn hundreds of calories. These

burn calories throughout the day.
Saran wrap has also been added
to
wardrobes to aid weight loss. By
wrapping your body in saran wrap
it causes you to sweat and lose the
extra pounds.
Some have gone more extreme
and enlisted a little help. By in-
gesting a tapeworm, one can con-
sume as much food as they like
without weight gain. The tape-
worm absorbs much of what you
eat allowing the pounds to pour
off.
Others have different tricks to
cut the calories. Eating with your
non-dominant hand is a silly, yet
effective way to cut the calories.
According to Self Mag_azine, eating
with your non-dominant hand
causes you to get less food from
your plate into your mouth, there-
fore causing you
to
consume fewer
calories in a meal. Dieters have
also exercised right at the dinner
table. Using weighted utensils
while you eat reminds you that
what you eat requires exercise to
work it off.
Losing weight is not the only rea-
son people have fallen into the
health food craze. Many things
have been said to prevent
ill-
nesses, cure health issues and put
off the aging process. The promises
of cures and youth have pushed
people to try crazy things. Drink-
ing urine is one of them. Some say
that urine is the elixir for every-
thing, curing cancer and common
health
issues,
according
to

may have some competition.
Consuming placenta may also be
the remedy to many common
health issues, and it may also slow
down the aging process, says
http://choosenatural. Some celebri-
ties such as Tom Cruise and Janu-
ary Jones have consumed it for its
health benefits. In the search to
regain youth and beauty, munch-

poop facials have become an ex-
pensive craze, and there are people
waiting in line to rub these fantas-
tic feces on their faces. Bird poop
facials can rejuvenate your skin
and give you the youthful look you

Demistifying the fall and spring concerts selection process
By
MICHAEL KURTZ
Circle Contributor
Every year the Student
_Program-
ming Council announces its fall and
spring concerts to the student body.
It is safe to assume that every year
there will be those who are excited
and eager to be first on line for
ticket sales, and those who are not
so pleased to want to start a Face~
book group to express that. What al-
most everyone has in common,
though, is that they are unsure as to
how the choice was made.
Some students believe that the
choice is solely made on what SPC
believes will be popular, which, in
theory, leaves some students out of
the loop. Senior Zakiya Thornhill
has only attended one Marist con-
cert during her three and a half
years.
''My friends and I want someone
that fits our interests, but SPC is
concerned for the majority of the
students. I get that but I would like
to enjoy a concert, too. I wish they
would get Ke$ha or something,"
Thornhill said.
So why can't Marist have the best
shows? Full-time undergraduate
students pay
an activities
fee of
$114, so they should know where
their money is going. To shed light
on concert planning, inside sources
from College Activities and the Stu-
dent Programming Council explain
where they begin, problems they
run into and how they finally
secure
a concert.
The Assistant Director for Student
Activities, Jennifer Unterbrink,
says that the planning process be-
gins very early.
"SPC and College Activities start
about a year to six months out from
our desired concert date. We
are
col!l.stantly trying to stay abreast of
the next upcoming musician/come-
dian; as well as keeping the student
opinions/tastes in mind," Unter-
brink said.
Researching talent and attempt-
ing to contract with artists can take
months, as SPC executive board
members
.
exchange emails, collect
student opinions, and contact
agents.
SPC President Courtney Seto
gives the process a little more di-
mension.
"Of course the popularity of the
acts are touring when, and how to
get in touch with them for
more
in-
formation."
In
the past, the council has used
its audience to give input on who
they would like to see at a show.
Methods of acquiring this informa-
tion range from having designated

said Seto,

is
in
he.r third year
as an SPC executive board member.
"But there are tons of other factors."
One
of those factors is previous
concerts. Seto and her·board take
previous acts into account and try to
avoid overlapping genres.
"We wouldn't bring an alternative
rock band if we had one in the last
year. They would be too similar. We
tty
to add as much variety as possi-
ble," Seto said.
But how does SPC come up with
these acts? Vice President Helen
Chang has the answers.
"We compile a list of acts that fall
within our allocated budget over the
course of the semester," Chang said.
''We
work with different agencies to
find out which acts are hot. We also
look on the web to determine what
selection nights in which students
attend and give input on talent, to
surveys distributed at events
throughout the year, to voting for
specific artists and genres. SPC has
determined
over
the last few years
that the fastest and most conven-
ient method of getting opinions from
the Marist community in the future
would be to further promote online
voting.
This year, Mike Posner was
among recommendations made by
the council's booking agent and all
other factors fell into place. SPC
had been run:rung into typical con-
flicts: being out-bid on artists,
scheduling conflicts and availabil-
ity. After extending offers to artists,
there is a waiting period for a re-
sponse. Even after talent initially
accepts a bid, they may fall back on
that for more cash. Last year SPC
had more trouble than usual due to
a music festival held by Universal
Studios during the planned time of
the show.
''We were relieved that we finally
made a successful bid, but even
after we've booked talent, it isn't
smooth sailing," Chang said. ''We
need to begin thinking of multiple
rounds of promotional material,
how and when we're going to release
information, and what the contract
of the entertainer means in terms of
what we can say in our advertise-
ments and what accommodations
we need to provide them with."
Breaking the silence this year was
a large banner in the Champagnat
breezeway with the phrase "He's
cooler than you" on it, referencing
Posner's song "Cooler Than Me."
There was also an SPC email refer-
encing a mysterious website update
that announced the talent as Mike
Posner with no other information.
From this point forward, SPC will
slowly release more information
about timing, ticket pricing, location
and other special features of the
show.
Sometimes SPC is restricted in
what they release to the student
body by the contract the entertainer
issues.
"It's a common thing, having
mandatory guidelines," Seto said.
''We can only use such and such
photo for posters, we can only label
the artist
as
such
and
such genre,
don't say the date until this day, we
need two gallons of only green
M&Ms, you get the idea."
So how can students get more in-
vov led with the selection process?
By joining SPC. The Marist College
SPC welcomes potential members to
help voice their opinions.
"Our numbers are consistently ris-
ing and being a part of an organiza-
tion like this looks pretty good on a
resume," Seto said. "Please reach
out to us and get involved! Maybe
you can help bring the talent for the
next big concert."

Hollywood who got his start on the

"21 Jump Street" is actually a toler-
able and fun film.

pace.

-
complete with an over-the-
top celebration - but the guy goes
free
because
Tatum forgets to read
him his Miranda Rights. The entire
film would have worked just fine if
it focused on the two of them taking
down criminals as regular cops. In-
stead, they're transferred to 21
Jump Street, where they are placed
undercover in a high school to find a
new synthetic drug. There, they
meet Ice Cube, who portrays their
no-nonsense boss. Ice is funny in
this film - something he hasn't been
since the last "Friday" film came out
- but his character serves no real
purpose other than to mutter a few
swear words at Hill and Tatum and
move on. All-in-all, his character
.could have easily been left out to
make room for more significant
characte;r development. The high
school scenes play out somewh~t
awkwardly but are salvaged by ap-
pearances made by SNL alums Rob
Riggle, Chris Parnell and a much
underused Ellie Kemper.
It's hard to bring a television show
to the big screen. Sometimes it
works (''The A-Team''); sometimes it
fails miserably (''The Green Hor-
net.") "21 Jump Street" doesn't give
us much to compare to, given that
it's radically different from its
source, but it works as a funny "in-
dependent" film. This is one of those
cases in which a license hurts a
movie more than it assists it (see
"Terminator Salvation.") The end-
ing promises a sequel, which will
probably further distance itself from
its predecessor.
But
as long as the
result is as funny as part one, I
probably won't even mind.

'The Hunger Games': A compariso~ between the film and novel
BY NICOLE KNOEBEL
Circle Contributor
Last summer, I read "The Hunger
Games" by Suzanne Collins and
couldn't wait for the upcoming film
directed by acclaimed film producer
Gary Ross: The tale of a sixteen-
year-old girl thrown into an arena
by her dystopian government to
fight to the death against other
teens was heart-pounding and ex-
hilarating. After months of antici-
pation, however, I left the theatre
disappointed and underwhelmed by
an adaptation that succeeded in
adding
new scenes that enhanced
the movie experience but failed in
its
cutting
of scenes integral to the
success of the book.
The most glaring issue with the
film
was that it wasn't able to trans-
fer Katniss's (Jennifer Lawrence)
thoughts in The Huriger Games's
arena to the screen. Instead of hear-
ing Katniss's thoughts and intelli-
gent plans for the Games, we were
left to watch Jennifer Lawrence sit
in trees and seemingly escape all
the drama and action. By losing her
thoughts, we lost the core narration
that created such excitement in the
books
.
Another issue was the glossed-
over relationship between Katniss
and Rue
(Amandla
Stenberg), a
twelve-year-old
tribute in the
Games who becomes Katniss's ally.
Their relationship in the books
spans
several
chapters, but Ross
doesn't provide the time necessary
to emphasize the dynamic between
the
two
pivotal
characters.
Their al-
liance in the film is so rushed and
brief that by the time their truce
ends, the audience is unable to feel
the grief and anguish that Katniss
felt in the books.
story, the audience is still unable to
see the extent of Peeta's knowledge
regarding Katniss's supposedly
false love.

The portrayal of
the
fan-adored
•eave
Scene,• as seen In film adaption above, was
criticized by many fans for skimping on emotional depth for thematic simplicity.
The weakest translation to screen
was the relationship between Kat-
niss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson).
The "cave scene" that Hutcherson
has been raving about in interviews
for months fell flat with an all-too
miraculous and quick recovery for
Peeta and no intimation of a false
romance for Katniss. We as an au-
dience could not feel that Peeta's
love for Katniss was genuine, while
Katniss's love may have been all for
the Games. At the end of their
ters and absent plot elements have
bothered other students as well.
"The way Katniss got her [rebel-
lious mockingjay] pin, that kind of
annoyed me because it means it
took out a character. And another
thing that bothered me was that
they didn't play up ... Katniss and
Peeta's love affair. They made it so
PG," freshman Adele Jackson said.
However, there were also devia-
tions from the book that worked
very well in context with the film.
The first being the exP.ansion of the
character Caesar Flickerman (Stan-
ley Tucci). whose Ryan Seacrest-
esque persona added to the
dysfunction of the Capitol's obses-
sion with the Games and helped
clarify some of the events that took
place in the arena. Another great
addition was the new scenes with
President Snow (Donald Suther-
·
land), which added to the sense of
rebellion and showed the desperate
need for an uprising within the dis-
tricts of Panem. Showing Snow's
feelings on hop and fear while illus-
trating the danger of liking the un-
derdog made clear his tyrannical
rule over the districts of Panem.
Fi-
nally, the final scene with Seneca
Crane (Wes Bentley) was a welcome
treat for readers that expanded on
what we know of his fate from the
books.
In all, I think the movie would
have been more enjoyable had I not
read the books so I wouldn't have
had anything to compare it to. Al-
though an excellent movie, and cer-
tainly a better-crafted film than any
of the ''Twilight" or "Harry Potter"
film adaptions, certain aspects just
fell flat in comparison to Collins'
heart- racing novel. Many of the el-
ements that made the no.vel so
unique and intense were ineffec-
tively transposed to the big screen.
Here's to hoping the second movie
in the trilogy,
"Catching
Fire," will
be able improve upon the first film.
Regardless, fans of the book will
still be hungry for more.
Nostalgia reels in the big laughs for "American Reunion"
By
GEOFFREY MAGLIOCCHETTI
Staff
Writer
The "American Pie" franchise had
become a bit of a travesty with its
countless direct-to-video install-
ments that were Pie films in name
only. Now, 13 years after the
groundbreaking original and nine
years after their last adventure in
"American Wedding," Jim (Jason
Biggs), Michelle (Alyson Hannigan),
Oz (Chris Klein), Kevin (Thomas
Ian Nicholas), Finch (Eddie Kaye
Thomas) and Stifler (Seann William
Scott) are back in "American Re-
union," which proves that this "Pie"
is still fresh.
Nostalgia is

strength: a strength that directors
John Hurwitz and Hayden Schloss-

above other modern comedies. The

popular artists like Boyz II Men,

tentions or doing something rather
weird to a pie. Classic sub-plots like
Finch attempting to rom~nce Sti-

role that made

a star and does
it with impressive results. It's not
very ofteri that one side character
can carry an entire film, but that's
what makes Stifler even more in-
credible. With his raunchy one-lin-

Stifler is easily one of the best
comedic characters of our genera-
tion.
If
they do decide to make an
"American
Pie 5," I seriously hope
it's a Stifler spin-off.
While ''Reunion" may not be the
best slice in the "American Pie"
saga, it is still a refreshing trip
down memory lane and a very effec-
tive comedy. I know I discussed a
part five earlier, but let's leave the
saga where it is. Let's have this be
the lasting image of the "American
Pie" franchise, not the ridiculous di-
rect-to-DVD-drivel.

Baseball team earns third straight win
By
ZACH DOOLEY
Sports Editor
Coming in on a six-game losing
streak, the Marist baseball team
had every right to be down, but
with four of those six losses coming
in conference play, they knew they
had move on quickly. Over the
weekend, the team rallied and
swept a doubleheader over St. Pe-
ters, propelling them into third
place in the MAAC Standings,
with a 4-4 record.
Striking early was the key for
Marist in Game One versus the
Peacocks, as a four-run third in-
ning propelled the Red Foxes to a
6-4 victory. Marist opened the
scoring in the second inning when
sophomore Jake Berry drove home
sophomore Nick McQuail, getting
the Red Foxes on the board first.
Junior Zach Shank started off
the third inning with a solo home-
run to left, which put Marist up 2-
0. After senior Eric Helmrich was
hit by a pitch and McQuail walked,
a double from junior Ben Luderer
drove home one, and a fielders
choice from freshman Mark Bren-
nan, along with a Peacocks throw-
ing error plated two more.
St. Peter's made it a game with
a three-run sixth inning, but junior
Mike Orefice hit an RBI double
down the right field line to give
Marist an insurance run. This was
Orefice's first game back at first
base coming off of a lower body in-
jury that kept Marist's top hitter
out for three games.
''It makes our lineup longer in
terms of that it puts everyone back
in pl~ce," Marist head coach Chris
Tracz said of Orefice's return.
''Mike's
one of our leaders and bet-
ter players and it was a lift to get
him back."
That was all the offense Marist
would need as senior pitcher Chad
Gallagher gave up only four runs
over 5.1 innings and senior closer
Jake Rifkin shut the door for the
save.
Game Two saw a different kind
of display from Marist, but a late
innings comeback allowed the Red
Foxes to prevail, 4-3.
The third inning was kind to
Marist once again, as they scored
two runs to overturn an early 1-0
deficit. Berry, Orefice and Shank
led off the inning with back to back
to back singles, which plated one
run, and double from freshman
Alec Petrone scored another to put
the Red Foxes on top.
After St. Peters surged back to
take a 3-2 lead with a run in both
the fourth and fifth innings, Helm-
rich led off the eighth inning with
a homerun to left to tie things at
three and set up a dramatic finish
in the bottom of the ninth.
Berry grounded out to start the
inning, but Orefice followed with a
single to center. After sophomore
Eric Molinaro came on to pinch
run for Orefice, Shank was hit by a
pitch, setting the stage once again
for Helmrich. The senior delivered
with a base hit to left scoring Moli-
naro and giving Marist the
win.
Helmrich's heroics were a testa-
ment to a better offensive display
in both games, something Coach
Tracz had been looking for.
"We needed to be more produc-
tive offensively and we were,"
Tracz said. "Helmrich had two
great at bats in the eighth and
ninth. We just put together more
quality at bats than we did earlier
in the season. We were much
tougher outs."
Overall on the doubleheader,
McQuail and Orefice led Marist
with four hits apiece, including a
perfect four for four from McQuail.
Shank and Helmrich had one
homerun and two RBI's each and
sophomore Kevin McCarthy
earned his first career
win
by
throwing four strikeouts over just
two innings to closeout Game two.
Marist continued their momen-
tum into Tuesday when they
downed Albany by a score of 10-8.
The Red Foxes jumped out to a
.
quick 6-0 lead after two innings,
where Berry and Orefice scored
two runs a piece. The lead was ex-
tended to 10-1 after five after an
RBI groundout and double from
Helmrich plated three and an RBI
single from Petrone scored an-
other.
Albany made it a game down
the stretch, scoring four in the
sixth and one in the seventh, as
well as two in the ninth, but they
could not complete the comeback
as Jake Rifkin was able to hang on
and close things out. For the after-
noon, Shank was a perfect three
for three, Orefice finished with
three runs scored and Helmrich
had four RBl's. Brendan Dolan
pitched four innings of one run ball
to earn his fourth win of the sea-
son.
A look ahead for the Red Foxes
sees a crucial conference series
when Siena comes to Poughkeepsie
this weekend for a three game set.
With only the top four teams quali-
fying for the season ending MAAC
Tournament, each conference
game has a high level of impor-
tance for the Red Foxes.
''Within the conference series,
we need to win the series and we
will
be at the top at the end," Tracz
said. ''We're a good team when we
can put together pitching, defense
and bullpen."

Men's lacrosse almost completes upset
ory for the Foxes.
"It was great. It felt like all the
work we have been doing [as a
team] since September had paid
off," Nesmith said of his game-win-
ner.
T-he team then carried the mo-
mentum of the emotional victory
into Durham, N.C., to face the Duke
Blue Devils, ranked eighth in the
nation. The Red Foxes (5-4, 2-1
MAAC) led nearty the entire game
but Duke (10-3) eventually came
storming back in the fourth period
to avoid the upset at home against
Marist.
Doherty had a game-high five
goals to lead the Foxes' offense,
while Joka recorded his second hat-
trick on the year. Both Rice and Ne-
smith added a goal apiece. Rice
extended his point streak to 39
games with his three-point per-
formance. Nesmith's goal was his
ninth in the past four games, giving
him 11 for the season. Doherty
leads the Foxes with 22 goals this
year.
"It was pretty cool," Doherty said
of his five goals. "We had a great
game plan and Connor set me up
nicely for some good shots, our de-
fense played awesome and Craig
made some unreal saves."
·
Goodermote made a career-high
19 saves in net against Duke.
"Our zone defense held Duke to
the shots we wanted to give up and
the
ones
I wanted to see. The game
was a stepping stone for the pro-
gram ... we're creating something big
here," Goodermote said.
Marist jumped out to an early 2-
0 lead thanks to goals from Joka
and Rice. Duke would then respond
and take a 4-3 lead after the open-
ing period.
.
Midway through the second, the
Foxes' offense exploded, scoring four
consecutive times, taking a 7-4 lead.
A late Blue Devil goal with 57 sec-
onds remaining in the half made the
score 7-5 at halftime.
.
Nesmith opened the third period
scoring with a goal at the 8:29
marker to give the Foxes an 8-5
lead. After a pair of Duke goals,
Joka completed his hat-trick, giving
Marist a 9-7 advaqtage heading into
the final quarter.
Duke eventually tied the game at
nine and with 5:31 remaining, Do-
herty scored his fifth goal of the af-
ternoon to put Marist ahead by one
at 10-9. Eight seconds later how-
ever, the Blue Devils tied the game
at ten. Only a short 45 seconds after
that, Duke scored once again to take
an 11-10 lead, a score they would
not relinquish the rest of the way.
Marist will look to bounce back
from the tough loss as they return
to conference play this Saturday at
home against Manhattan at 7 p.m.
The game is being played in honor
of Coombs and the team is asking
for the support of the student body
to cheer them on in what should be
an emotional contest.
''We're really excited to get out
there against Manhattan under the
lights on Saturday," Doherty said.
"It's all about Eddie."
Water Polo beats VMI, but falls to Iona
By
JOE
FITZHENRY
Staff Writer
The Marist water polo team split
a pair of MAAC games over the
weekend. The Red Foxes defeated
Virginia Military
Institute
by a
score of 17-5 but fell to Iona College
by a score of 12-10. Both contests
were played at Siena College. The
split puts the Red Foxes' overall
record for the season at 14-18 over-
all, and 6-2 in MAAC play.
Assistant Coach Hillary Walling,
filling in for head coach Ashleigh
Huckins (who is on maternity
leave,)
had some positive notes
fol-
lowing
the games.
''We were solid, we have a great
positive attitude and we're in a good
position, given where we are in our
eeason," Wailing said.
Against VMI, the Red Foxes had
six players who scored at least two
goals, led by a hat trick apiece from
Yuriria Chavez and Allison Hamby.
Katie Knutson, Jessica Hamby,
Mackenzie Maynes and Hannah
Levien each recorded two goals
apiece for Marist.
In one of the best offensive per-
formances all season, Maynes and
Levien also chipped in with a pair of
assists, while Natalie Stringer had
four helpers and Shelby Rinker, a
junior driver from Lansdale, PA tal-
lied three assists for the Red Foxes.
Elise Humphries, starting in the
net in relief of
Rebecca
Thomas,
recorded nine saves for the Red
Foxes and also contributed an assist
as well.
Marist gained control of the
game early on, as they led 6-1 after
just one quarter and opened up an
11-3 halftime lead.
"Our attack was
definitely
there,
usually our
defense
carries over to
our offense and our defense was
solid," Walling said of the team's of-
fensive performance.
In the opening game of the day,
Robyn Crabtree, a junior from Cut-
ler Bay, Fla., led the offensive
charge for the Red Foxes with a hat
trick in the losing effort against
Iona. Jessica Hamby and Kelly
Kline also had a pair of goals apiece
for Marist, while chipping in on the
defensive side as well with two
steals.
Rebecca Thomas recorded nine
saves in net for the Red Foxes, while
also contributing a pair of steals.
The game remained close through-
out, but Marist could never quite
gain control of the contest, as Iona
held a slight advantage over the
course of the game. The Gaels led by
a count of 4-2 after the first quarter
but then allowed Marist to get as
close as 8- 7 in the following three
quarters. However, the Red Foxes
could never get over the hump and
take the lead, accounting for the
final score of 12-10.
Marist will return to action next
weekend when they travel to Vil-
lanova University for four games.
Along with taking on the Wildcats,
the Red Foxes
will
also take on St.
Francis
(N.Y.),
Wagner and Siena.
The four contests will be the final
ones of the regular season for
Marist before the MAAC Champi-
onships, which
will
be played at Mc-
Cann Natatorium on April 28 and
29.
Softball splite conference opener with Stags
By
GARRIN
MARCHETTI
Sports Editor
Riding a four-game winning
streak, the Marist softball team
began the conference portiox:i of
their schedule on Saturday when
they traveled to Connecticut to
take on Fairfield in a double-
header. Sparked by a two-run rally
in the seventh inning, the Red
Foxes took Game One 4-3, but
came up short in Game Two, losing
5-4.
Going into the season, Marist
and Fairfield were ranked second
and third in the MAAC Preseason
Poll. The doubleheader showed
there was substance to the hype,
as both teams came back from
multi-run deficits to take their vic-
tories.
Despite his team's win in the
first game, Head Coach Joe Au-
sanio felt like the Red Foxes
should have swept the day.
"Honestly,
I came away a little
disappointed, because I really felt
like we were the better team," Au-
sanio said.
"If
we don't drop some
fly balls,
if
balls don't get lost in
the sun, I don't even think they
score a run. It was just a war of at-
trition."
In the Game One victory, the
Red Foxes found themselves down
by two runs entering the top of the
seventh inning, their final at bat of
the game. Freshman Taylor
Kuzma started the rally with a
leadoff
single, and two batters
later, Meghan Lamoureux doubled
to score Kuzma and tie the game.
Two batters after that, Nicole Di-
Virgilio hit a hard single to score
pinch runner Nicole Van Loan and
give Marist the 4-3 lead. The come-
back was completed in the next
frame, when pitcher Janine Lalli
shook off a one-out triple to shut
the door on the Stags.
To Ausanio, the comeback
proved that the Red Foxes are
completely focused on their goal of
winning the conference champi-
onship. At the same time, he also
knows that because his team is so
focused, he does not have to re-
mind them about what is at stake.
''They
all know what the ulti-
mate goal is, and that is to be here
in May for the MAAC Champi-
onship. I don't have to light a fire
under them to do that," Ausanio
said.
''They
knew what they had to
get done, and they all stepped up
and it was a concerted team ef-
fort."
Game Two ended a bit differ-
ently for Marist, as Fairfield made
its own comeback in the bottom of
the sixth inning. Trailing 3-2, the
Stags scored three runs
on
five hits
to take the 5-3 lead, their first of
the game. However, the Red Foxes
would not go down quietly, as they
scored one run in the next inning
to cut the
deficit
to one. With two
outs and two runners
on
base,
Alyssa Zahka singled up the mid-
dle and Van Loan was waved in to
score. But Fairfield's centerfielder
threw a perfect throw to home
plate, beating Van Loan by less
than two feet and preserving the 5-
4 Fairfield victory.
Ausanio admitted that he may
have underestimated Sammy Ruf-
fc:>lo, the centerfielder who made
the game-winning play for the
Stags.
''I
went with the thought of
'there is a freshman out there [in
centerfield], and I am going to
make her make a play,"' Ausanio
said.
llAlyssa
did a great job of get-
ting the hit for us. But they had to
make a perfect throw, with perfect
execution. It was just one of those
things."
Even though the gamble did not
end favorably for his team, Au-
sanio will not hesitate to wave Van
Loan or any runner home again
if
the opportunity presents itself.
"Ninety-nine times out of 100 I
am
going to still send her [Van
Loan] on that play because that
might have been our only chance to
come back and win the game," Ay.-
sanio said.
The Red Foxes will look to add
another victory to their record
today, when they host Bucknell for
a doubleheader. Game One is
scheduled for 2:30 p.m.

Lacrosse earns overtime win, nearly upsets Duke
By

Within the last week and a half,
the Marist men's lacrosse team
played two non-conference games,
in what were probably the two most
dramatic affairs the squad has ex-
perienced all season long. On Tues-
day,
April
3,
they
defeated
Lafayette College 11-10 in an over-
time thriller at home. Then on Sat-
urday, April 7, they almost pulled
off the biggest upset in program his-
tory, falling short to eighth-ranked
Duke University 11-10 in regula-
tion.
''These
past two games have
shown
how this team fights in the
face of adversity," senior co-captain
Kevin Defranco said. "Obviously we
wanted to come out of Durham with
that win, but we know what we're
capable of doing and that's impor-
tant."
Prior to the start of the Lafayette
game, freshman Drew Nesmith was
given the privilege of wearing num-
ber 34 in honor of former Red Fox
Eddie Coombs, who died last sum-
mer in an automobile accident. This
is a tradition that the Marist coach-
ing staff carries on for every game.
''The selection goes to a guy who
demonstrates hard
work,

week or from a previous game,"
Marist Head Coach Keegan Wilkin-
son said.
Nesmith did more than just honor
Coombs; he posted a four-point per-
formance, including the.game
win-
ning goal 2:45 into the overtime pe-
riod.
The Red Foxes opened the game
strong, scoring twice in a 41 second
span to take a 2-0 lead with 12:04
remaining in the first quarter. Colin
Joka and Mike Begley were credited
with the scores. Joka's goal came off
a dish from Connor Rice. Lafayette
eventually tied the game at two, but
Nesmith scored with 2:27 left in the
first to give Marist a 3-2 lead.
Second period goals from Jimmy
Marks, Jack Doherty, and Nesmith
all contributed to a 6-5 lead
in
favor
of the Red Foxes going into half-
time.
Marist would then score the first
three goals of the third to increase
their lead to 9-5 with 8:52 left in the
period, via scores by Evan Guarini,
Joka and Begley. However, four
consecutive goals by the Leopards to
close out the third left the game tied
at nine heading into the final quar-
ter.
Begley found the back of the net
to complete a hat-trick, giving his
team a 10-9 lead with 12:21 to go.
Just over two minutes later,
Lafayette would score to tie the
game once again and send it into
overtime.
Marist goaltender Craig Gooder-
mote came up with a huge save (one
of hi's nine on the night), which
would eventually lead to Nesmith's
goal to seal an impressive 11-10 vic-
tory for the Foxes.
