Marist hosts annual
Holocaust ceremony
By
JENNA GRANDE
News Editor
On Wednesday, April 6, Marist
hosted its 21st Annual Holocaust
Remembrance assembly.
Mrs.
Jean Malkischer gave a survivor's
account of her time growing up
in
Vienna, Austria during the years
leading up to World War II and her
time in the theresienstadt concen-
tration camp and Auschwitz death
camp during the actual war.
The program, which started
promptly at 7 p.m., was held in the
Student Center. The room was
overflowing with people, and the
office of college activities was
forced to bring in extra seating to
seat the crowd. People began lining
up outside the room as early as
6:30 p.m in order
to
get prime seat-
ing for the event. College activities
reported 300 people in attendance.
The ceremony began with a wel-
coming address from President Dr.
Dennis Murray. Students Joanna
Weiss and Jenna Finn, both of
whom recited selected readings
that pertained to the Holocaust,
preceded Murray. The readings
flowed nicely into the Chamber
Singers' two-song performance.
They performed Frank Ticheli's
"Earth Song" and Christopher
Tin's "Baba Yeta".
Steve Sansola, the associate dean
for student affairs, gave a quick in-
troduction and spoke about preju-
dice.
He
encouraged
Marist
students to make fighting preju-
dice and hatred their mission, and
to make sure that the crimes com-
mitted by the Nazis are never re-
peated in our history.
Malkischer
,
accompanied by her
husband, son, daughter-in-law and
grandchildren, came to the podium
and began her eloquent speech
about her journey. She spoke about
"bearing witness" to the true hor-
rors and crimes she witnessed in
Europe during the 1930s and
1940s.
Her story began in Vienna, Aus-
tria, where she lived a normal mid-
dle class life. In March 1938,
however, her life was turned up-
side down as Hitler's forces in-
vaded her homeland. Realizing
they were in danger, Malkischer
and her family tried to flee to
Switzerland but were denied ac-
cess at the border and sent home.
Malkischer described how people
were actually excited and "jubi-
lant" about Hitler's arrival in Aus-
tria. She did not understand how
people could he happy about hav-
ing a ruler that openly discrimi-
nated against her people. She
clearly remembered the pain she

Malkischer illustrated for the au-

different parts of the concentration

High hopes for Marist's first TweetUp event
By
ABBEY SCALIA
Circle Contributor
Marissa DeAngelis has experi-
enced her first social media out-
break, and she's not planning to
slow down anytime soon. Her pro-
posed TweetUp for the Marist
community, set for April 19 in the
Student Center 349, has gotten
the attention of Tim Massie, chief
public affairs officer at Marist and
the Dean of Admission, Kent
Rinehart.
A Tweet Up is a new type of net-
working event that is created
through social media. A TweetUp
occurs when students that use
Twitter in the same coinmunity
gather together to discuss social
media. For an hour or so, students
have the opportunity to discuss
Twitter face-to-face with others
who use it. Massie said that peo-
ple are usually first given the op-
portunity to socialize with others
in the Twitter community to dis-
cuss social media applications.
"It's an opportunity to meet the
people behind the Tweets;" Massie
said.
Not surprisingly, the attention
of the TweetUp was generated
from Twitter itself. DeAngelis
said she sent a Tweet to Tim
Massie, letting him know she had
created a strategic plan. for the
TweetUp. Almost immediately,
she was contacted by Kent Rine-
hart and Brian Apfel from the ad-
missions office.
"I was so excited about how
quickly it was catching on," DeAn-
gelis said.
Apfel was excited, too. As Asso-
ciate Director of Admission, Apfel
oversees the official Marist Twit-
ter page, and asked DeAngelis to
send him a copy of her strategic
plan.
"Using social media like Twitter
is essential in order to prove that
[Marist] is ahead of the times. You
can't just talk the talk. You have
to walk the walk," Apfel said, re-
ferring to Marist's application of
social media.
DeAngelis said she would like
her TweetUp to include guest
speakers and a Q&A panel discus-
sion. She also hopes to secure
speakers that are active in the
Marist Twitter community like
Danielle DeZao and Alyssa Bro-
nander to discuss their personal
and professional experiences with
Twitter and social media. DeZao
has used the social media to make
a larger impact with the domestic
violence club she started on cam-
pus, h<3artl. Bronander has re-
cently
used
Twitter
as
a
professional vehicle for her blog,
Karma W affl.e.
DeAngelis said she recalled first
hearing about a TweetUp while
interning at the Providence~War-
wick Convention and Visitors Bu-
reau this past summer. While
TweetUps are more common in
the professional world, DeAngelis
said she thought having one on
campus would be beneficial.
Professor Mark Van Dyke as-
signed students in his public rela-
tions class to come up with their
own strategic plan. DeAngelis
said she knew she wanted to pro-
pose a TweetUp. While students
from Van Dyke's class could make
their plans hypothetical, DeAnge-
lis said she always expected the
·
Tweet Up to actually occur.
"It's not a project at this point,"
DeAngelis said. "I want to start a
social media movement."
Massie said he is prepared to
promote the TweetUp through
both traditional forms of media
and social media.
"It's a real opportunity to build
on a 'community,"' Massie said. "I
think you'll be surprised by the
number and diversity of people
who attend."

Pirates, lacrosse balls, and Four Loko
By CHRIS
RAIA
Staff Writer
Last year on Housing Day, a
friend of mine, a senior at the time,
said he was going to sit in a lawn
chair outside of the McCann Center
and, quote, ''watch friendships get
ruined." Genius idea, I'll give him
that, but it's sort of sad. I under-
stand that housing is important,
and nobody wants to settle for any-
thing less than their dream house;
however, try to remember what's re-
ally important. If you really think
that the room you're sleeping in
next year is going to make or break
your experience at Marist, you ei-
ther have the wrong mindset or
you're surrounding yourself with
the wrong group of people.
If
you got
the house you were hoping for, fan-
tastic.
If
you didn't, don't take it
personally. With all of the obstacles
life throws at us, college friendships
have enough adversity to overcome;
don't let something as petty as a
house get in the way of your home
here at school. Whether you're in
the archway house at Fulton or
tripling up in Marian, here's to the
housing process being over. Now
that we can stop calculating and re-
calculating priority points, let's
make fun of drunk people.

A freshman student went to sleep at
midnight with her laptop sitting on
her desk. She went to class at
8
a.m.
with her laptop still sitting on her
desk, but she forgot to lock her door.
When she got home, it was gone. In
movies, some villains do bad things
and then eventually are forced by
protagonists
to go back on their evil
ways and find redemption. Look at
Cindy Lou-Who. She showed the
Grinch the meaning of Christmas,
and he found the good in himself
and returned all the presents he
stole.
If
anybody knows who stole
this laptop, I urge you to go Cindy
Lou-Who on him. Until that hap-
pens, my laptop is available to the
victim of this theft. Come find me.

During lacrosse practice, an errant
lacrosse ball left the field's premises
and slammed into the windshield of
a security vehicle. This seemed to
happen a lot last year, and that begs
the question, are the lacrosse play-

they send balls flying through win-
dows when they're aiming at the
goal? Or are the lacrosse players in-
credibly accurate and just rude to
nearby vehicles?

The tantalizing tastes of Terrapin, a true Rhinebeck gem
By
BEN BRUCKENTHAL
Circle Contributor
Depending on how you look at it, end-
ing or starting the week off with a deli-
cious meal is a great way
t.o
transition
yourself from one day
t.o
another.
In this case, a pleasant 20
minute drive north on Route 9 into
Rhinebeck, ending my journey at
the ever popular Terrapin Restau-
rant and Bistro Sunday night, was a
great, stomach-filling treat. Having
heard about Terrapin through a
friend assured me that the menu is
unique and mouth watering. I
thought it would be a perfect oppor-
tunity to explore the local fare of the
Hudson River Valley.
Terrapin, situated in the town
square of Rhinebeck,
N.Y.,
was once
a church. With peaked ceilings and
arched windgws, this former House
of God was transformed into a
warm and elegant restaurant. After
walking into the main entrance, pa-
trons have the option of dining on
either side of the eatery. My girl-
friend and I chose the bistro. The
0
prices were reasonable and the
menu looked superb.
After waiting a short 15 minutes
for a table, the experience began.
We were welcomed by the server,
escorted to our table, presented
menus and asked what beverages
we would like to start off with. Such
service is typical, but while looking
through the menu, we knew this
joint was anything but. Items such
as tapas, tiny portioned appetizers,
including duck quesadilla wedges,
chorizo and green olive crostini,
macademia-nut
calamari,
goat
cheese filled wontons, a grilled lamb
chop with chimichuri and warm brie
with mango crostini were amongst
the most popularly ordered dishes.
After considering all the choices,
we ordered the macademia nut tem-
pura calamari and warm brie with
mango crostini. The calamari was
light and delicious, paired with a
sweet pineapple dipping sauce. The
brie and mango crostini was also de-
lightful. The sweet mango compli-
mented the rich and buttery brie
that was placed ever so gently on
the toasted crostini oval.
The main course, or in my case
the create-your
·
-own sandwich, was
an even tougher decision. This one
aspect of the bistro caught my at-
tention. When creating your own
custom made sandwich, diners have
the option of choosing from nine
dif-
ferent starter meats, seafood and
vegetarian bases. Starters including
a hefty half pound beef burger,
sliced steak, shredded duck confit,
free ranged chicken, beer-battered
fried cod, ahi tuna salad and veggie
burgers were amongst those that
were offered. I know, overwhelming
but
if
you thought this process was
over the variety of breads, sauces,
cheeses and miscellaneous extras

viate the space that would be re-
quired for me to list all these top-
pings, I'll stick with describing the
items I chose to complete my tanta-
lizing concoction. I selected the half
pound burger to be served on a cia-
batta hard roll. It was dressed with
the siracha hot sauce, roasted red
peppers, smoked onions and fresh
mozzarella cheese. The siracha hot
sauce gave the burger a nice tang
and the roasted red peppers intro-
duced a smoky and element. The
smoked onions, on top of being
smoky, were caramelized perfectly.
Finally,
the fresh
mozzarella
brought the entire sandwich to-
gether, unifying each component to
form an excellently crafted culinary
creation.
Barely breathing after consuming
nearly a pound -0f burger and appe-
tizers, my only thought was to
throw in the towel. Of course every
girl loves her sweets, especially my
girlfriend. On the brink of a food
coma, I called our waiter over and
requested a dessert menu. Sure
enough,
·
after looking at the dessert
choices, we found one that would
please both of us. We chose the mini
chocolate chip cookie ice cream
sandwiches. Four freshly baked
chocolate chip cookies were sand-
wiches between a two whopping
scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream
and drizzled with chocolate syrup;
sinful and delish. Check, please!
From appetizers to dessert, the
bistro experience at Terrapin was
amazing. The food was on point, the
service was excellent and the prices
were reasonable. Granted we went
all
out and tried to sample at least
one item from every part of the
menu, but if you are looking for a
relatively inexpensive lunch or din-
ner, Terrapin is the place go. I
highly recommend it, because I am
certainly going back to tackle the
rest of the menu.

"Times" for a change
at
Marist College
By
WILLIAM SCHANZ
Circle Contributor
There it was, staring back at me,
this past Sunday. It read "this is
your last free article for the month."
No longer would I have access to my
beloved New York Times for the re-
mainder of the month. And this is
where I grew angry -
and not at
the New York Times, as you may
think, but at Marist College.
This past fall, The USA Today,
The Poughkeepsie Journal and The
New York Times were pulled from
their little white carts around cam-
pus, and were no longer freely avail-
able to the Marist community. I was
upset about this, because I liked to
pick up a New York Times on most
days, and enjoyed reading the paper
on a daily basis. But I was not de-
terred entirely, because I knew that
the Times was offered online for
free. And although it was not the
hard copy of the paper -
which I
prefer - I was still getting the same
news and information, whether I
had the hard copy or read the news
online.
I even understood and had some
sympathy for why it was a struggle
for SGA to still provide us free
newspapers when it costs them
roughly $20,000 a semester, and
they simply do not have the money
in their budget to fund that kind of
initiative, especially since they are
only a club.
But now that the New York Times
has a put a pay wall up on their
website -
which by the way, I do
not even disagree with since the
newspaper industry has to come up
with a way to make money some-
how -
I am resentful and upset
that Marist does not offer any kind
of newspaper,
especially
the
NewYork Times.
I believe that the college is doing
a grave disservice to the commu-
nity, by neither providing us free
newspapers, like they were for
much of 2010, or giving us a way to
freely access them.
There are so many reasons Marist
needs to provide the campus some
free access to the New York Times,
and has absolutely no viable ex-
cuses about why they cannot make
this happen.
First off, it is a huge win-win for
the college to provide free copies of
New York Times. Students would be
happy with the administration,
Marist tour guides can proudly
boast that they provide the commu-
nity with free New York Times,
which makes the school look better
and impresses prospective students
and their parents, and finally
Marist students come out as more
engaged citizens who are cognizant
of crucial national and world affairs.
In a time where there is so much
misinformation out there, the New
York Times continually outshines
all other news organizations. As a
community that is committed to
good, honest, quality work and the
pursuit to continually educate our-
selves, we rn.ust then show an obli-
gation to support one of the last
truly great independent news or-
ganizations.
If
we stay put, our
"news" is that of which you see on
the TV, which at this point I'm not
sure any person with any intellec-
tual integrity could even call news
anymore.
I think most importantly, we are
at the precipice of a world that is
ready to change; some may argue
that it already has. As a student
body that will soon be the leaders
and thinkers of this country, we
must be the agents of change for the
better in this country and in this
world. But that is more difficult for
students when it is more difficult for
them to find easy access to quality
content
and
information.
As the student body, -we have ail ob-
ligation to make sure we continue to
read the news and to stay involved

for with insatiable work ethic.
"He's doing all the work and I'm
taking care of the little stuff."
The little things include moni-
toring diet, sleep
,
and most recent-
ly, helping Shane taper off his
workouts. As a race of such length
approaches
;
athletes must decrease
their amount of training
.
''I really knew nothing about run-
ning before talking to coach,"
Shane said. "[Colaizzo] has taught
me that every run can't be a long
run. You have to mix short runs
with long runs to ensure that your
body is absorb
i
ng the gains from
the long runs."
Shane first began running to
train for soccer, basketball and
baseball during his senior year of
high school.
''I'm a walking cliche," Shane
said. "I was overweight in high
school. I started running four miles
five days per week. I really liked
the way I felt."
The Glens Falls native ran his
first marathon in 2:57. Shane then
cut his time by 15 minutes in the
2010
Philadelphia
Marathon
,
where he finished 53rd out of more
than 9,000 runners.
'
'That's when I realized, 'hey, I
am pretty good at this,"' Shane
said.
Even though he enjoys being
'
good,' the Bolton Landing high
school graduate admits that he's
even questioned his commitment to
the race. Aside from the constant
laughs from his housemates about
his salad and blueberry filled diet,
emerging into the snow and sleet of
the brutal Poughkeepsie winter
also
had
its
impact..
"I remember this one Saturday
morning," Shane said. "It was like
10 degrees and I thought: 'what the
heck am I doing out here?"'
While being nestled in front of
the television in his Fulton
Townhouse may have crossed
Shane's mind as he trotted through
an icy campus on that frigid day,
in world affairs, so we come out into
this increasingly global society as
thoughtful, engaged adults
.
Marist must back up their ideals
on this issue. On the college web-
site, Marist claims it wants to ''help
students to develop the intellect
and character required for enlight-
ened, ethical and productive lives
in the global community of the 21st
century."
This is a clear instance where a
simple act of providing a rich, edu-
cational resource would confirm
those statements.
I refuse to believe that there are
too many things that get in the way
of getting this done. I don't want to
hear the excuse that there are con-
cerns that parents or professors are
taking the paper. Is this really that
big of a deal? We are all smart peo-
ple here; I'm sure some kind of a
solution can be figured out. And in
regards to funding this initiative,
his resilience has bred an apprecia-
tion for what a true commitment is,
a lesson which rings true in and
outside- the realm of sport.
As
far as beating his goal of 2:40,
Colaizzo thinks Shane has put in
the work to do so. However, in a
26:2 mile trek, so many variables
exist, including weather and the
steep hills toward the end of the
race.
While Shane said he has great
respect for anyone who undertakes
a marathon, he does not approach
his goal lightly. For this reason,
those little variables will remain
entrenched in Shane's mind until
the gun goes off.
As the gloomy weather turns to
sunshine, students flood the cam-
pus greens to enjoy the weather.
Shane jogs by.
The sacrifice is well worth the
result

I'm sure some kind of solution can
be concocted
.
This can be some-
thing that is backed by several dif-
ferent organizations on campus
.
Regardless of how this is fund-
ed
,
this is an investment that must
be made. There is absolutely no
downside to providing us free New
York Times. This kind of invest-
ment would only add to the great
strategy that Marist already has in
place to making this an exciting
,
engaging institution of learning.
This is an important decision now
that Marist has in their hands. The
college claims it is a progressive
institution, committed to providing
the student body all of the
resources possible to lead in a 21st
global society. Now it is time for
Marist to back up those words with
an investment that will only
strengthen Marist
'
s commitment to
their ideals.

Think local first: Student runs cupcake business
By
MAGGIE KOLB
Circle Contributor
Snickerdoodle, cannoli, blueberry,
Nutella and champagne.
These are all unique cupcake fla-
vors with flair, baked by the small
independent bakery CuteCakes
New York, located in the
Hudson
Valley.
Owner and self-professed cupcake
connoisseur Alyssa DeMarco, 21
years-old, who recently celebrated
her company's one-year anniver-
sary, has dreams of making her
company "the Hudson Valley's pre-
miere cupcakery."
With an innovative product line,
a strong social media presence on
Facebook and Twitter and advanced
marketing and advertising knowl-
edge, it is hard to believe that De-
Marco is only minoring
in
business
administration at Marist.
That's right - the cupcake queen
is a successful entrepreneur and a
full-time student. As a junior and
fashion merchandising major, De-
Marco says that last January she
noticed a big "cupcake trend" aris-
ing in New York City and wanted to
bring the excitement surrounding
the pretty little cakes to the Hudson
Valley.
''My aunt and uncle hi:rve owned a
local business for over 25 years in
Marlboro,
N.Y.
and were thrilled
when I asked them if they would
carry my CuteCakes in their cafe,"
DeMarco said. '1 started by baking
a few batches a week to be featured
on the lunch menu as the 'cupcake
of the day.'
It
didn't take long for
my brand to gain local recognition,
and before I knew it, people were
asking 'when is the next batch com-
ing?,' 'what new flavor will you cre-
ate next?,' and 'can we order these
for special events?'"
From there, the company grew,
providing even more flavors of cup-
cakes for birthday parties, weddings
and other events, including the
Relay for Life Paint the Campus
Purple awareness campaign, which
took place at Marist early this April.
''This year we are really pushing
to incorporate and utilize the com-
munity into the campaign as much
as we can," said Nicole Dopp, chair
of Relay for Life at Marist.
DeMarco's pint-sized products
went on sale at Fashionology on
Thursday, April 7 from 10:30 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. as a part of the visibility
campaign to raise awareness for
Relay for Life on April 15.
"Besides being a fundraising
event, Relay for Life is a way to
honor those affected by cancer," said
Sarah Parsloe, co-coordinator for
Relay's PTCP campaign. "People re-
ally connect to it," she said.
And that is something
DeMarco
believes in as well.
"Cupcakes are something that
everyone loves, no matter what age
they are," she said. "I believe that
making people happy and enhanc-
ing the important memories and cel-
ebrations
in
their
life
goes
hand-in-hand with Relay for Life's
message to save more lives, to
lengthen more lives and to celebrate
the lives of those who lost their bat-
tles."
DeMarco has also worked with an-
other Marist-based organization,
h<3rtl, by putting on a "Cupcake
for a Cause" event this past
Decem-
ber at Cafe Bocca, raising aware-
ness about dating and domestic
abuse. This cause is very personal
for
DeMarco.
Danielle
DeZao, founder of this
non-profit organization, said that,
"Alyssa is heavily involved in
h<3rtl to teach bystanders and
friends how important it is to know
the signs of abuse, as she wishes she
did in the past."
DeZao
is a good
friend of DeMarco.
"We made $1,000 in the two hours
that we sold her cupcakes, all of

which was donated to the h<3rtl
fund, benefiting battered women's
shelters," she said.
DeMarco
has been supplying
Poughkeepsie's Cafe Bocca with her
unique baked goods since Decem-
ber.
Cafe Bocca owner Erik Morabito
has a passion for creating a venue
that blends many aspects of the
local culture, including the artwork,
music and food. The walls are
adorned with the paintings of local
artists for sale and local bands play
in the tight space in front of the
window that now
boasts
a display of
local pottery, complete with a stack
of
business
cards.
The Poughkeepsie native is being
honored
on
April 20 by the
Dutchess
County Chambet of Commerce for
best exemplifyi:rig the "Think Local
First" approach.
An award earned through his com-
mitment to "buying from, employing
and supporting local businesses,"
Morabito said, it is evident that he
makes every effort to use local prod-
ucts in his cooking and showcase
the local talent.
He "depends on local people," not
only to supply him with music and
talent enriching the Cafe Bocca ex-
perience, but as his customers and
livelihood.
''The small farmers in the area are
very
dependent on others
support-
ing them ... I like to do what I can to
help them," he said.
And just as Cafe Bocca places em-
phasis
on
local agricultural prod-
ucts, so does CuteCakes by using
local seasonal ingredients in the
highly coveted recipes according to
DeMarco, also a Hudson Valley na-
tive.
'1 have always loved the support
that local businesses have given me
in various communities throughout
the area," she said.
Prospective fraternity to send aid to Ghana
By

BOYLE AND BENJAMIN

Circle Contributors
The Delta Nu chapter of Zeta Psi,
once recognized as a fraternity at
Marist College, has taken the initial
step to become the volunteer driven
and social welfare promoting broth-
erhood it was viewed as seven years
ago.
This summer, the Marist Zeta Psi
Fraternity Interest Group will be
creating care packages for families
in the city of Tamale, Ghana, West
Africa. Ghana has a total popula-
tion of 24,791,000 but its gross do-
mestic product is only $1,600.
Eddie Summers, assistant to the
President at Marist, is working
closely with involved students and
is in charge of mailing the packages
.
Involved students plan to address
childhood hunger, one of most
prominent and life threatening
travesties of the 21st century. Many
would agree that while our world is
faced with terrorism, civil u~est
and an uncontrollable increase in oil
prices, it seems almost unfath-
omable that millions of people are
living each day without the proper
nutritional and hygienic resources.
Whatever happened to universal
rights?
Human beings continue to be de-
nied the most basic necessities, to
which all people are entitled. This
issue becomes even more disheart-
ening when children, the leaders of
the future, become the victims of
malnutrition and inadequate physi-
cal care.
Tamale is now one of the fastest
developing cities in West Africa due
to its industrial advancements and
developing economy. But despite its
economic developments, Tamale is
suffering from increased social de-
pravity. Issues of hunger and insuf-
ficient hygienic resources are
amongst the most deprived re-
sources of the people of Tamale.
The city of Tamale is considered
one of the poorest cities in Africa,
and this is reflected in its ever in-
creasing poverty level of 20.5 per-
cent. An alarming 1 in 5 children
are underweight and 1 in 10 chil-
dren dies before their 5th birthday.
Furthermore, Tamale is still in
great need of major improvements
in their economic and social infra-
structure in comparison to their
more developed capital city, Accre.
The Marist Zeta Psi Fraternity In-
terest Group hopes to fulfill their
civil duties while being conscious of
the unjust practices of foreign na-
tions. They aim to confront and
eventually subdue the threats
which have victimized all those who
find themselves in the middle of this
social crossfire.
With assistance and generous do-
nations, the Marist community can
help to make an important differ-
ence by alleviating the overwhelm-
ing hardships that these mothers
and children experience every day.
For every good deed we do, there is
a positive impact
.
that slowly fol-
lows, changing the lives of the world
today as well as those in the imme-
diate future.
Those who wish to donate can con-
tact the active president, Jesus
Ramos

The Marist Zeta Psi Fraternity In-
terest Group hopes to get a care
package ready by the end of the
week. They are not yet recognized
as an official fraternity, but hope to
achieve recognition.

The green film guide: Must-see environmental movies
By
MELANIE LAMORTE
A&EEditor
Each year, Marist's Sustainability
Day offers students the opportunity
to view a variety of films and docu-
mentaries tQ raise awareness about
environmental issues. On Thurs-
day, April 14, the following films
will
be
played in the Nelly Galetti the-
atre:
''Hydrofracking,"
''Gasland,"
''Eco-
nomics of Happiness," 'We Feed the
World" and "Bloom: The Plight of
Lake Champlain."
In case you miss the films, or if
they spark your interest, there are
plenty more "green" films that have
been released in recent years, effer-
ing tons of information for the envi-
ronmentally conscious.
"Food, Inc.": Walking down the
aisles of a supermarket will never
be the same. "Food, Inc." delivers
disturbing insights into the busi-
ness of corporate agriculture, spot-
lighting the
mistreatment of
workers and the alarming compo-
nents of our beloved processed food.
While it's unsettling and shocking,
"Food, Inc." provides alternatives
and solutions, encouraging viewers
to invest in local and organic foods
for the sake of their health and the
environment. "Food, Inc." is grip-
ping for each of its 91 minutes, mak-
ing all those who see it question
each and every grocery store deci-
sion he or she makes. The film also
directs audiences to the "Food, Inc."
website, http://foodincmovie.com,
which supports the mantra, "Hun-
gry for Change." The website pro-
vides ways to get involved in local
initiatives and stay informed.
"The 11th Hour": Created and
narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio,
"The 11th Hour" informs audiences
about the dangers of our increas-
ingly unsustainable lifestyles. The
earth simply cannot support the
way humans live today-changes
must be made in order to decrease
our carbon footprints and preserve
the planet for future generations.
With beautiful panoramic views of
the earth's natural wonders, ''The
11th Hour" is visually stunning and
captivating. The film encourages
conservation of resources and
spreads awareness about global
cli-
mate change. This cautionary docu-
mentary is convincing, entertaining

My Morning Jacket "Cir-
cuital"
-Anchoring their campaign
of free music downloads, offering
five songs weekly from each live
show at their one-week stay at Ter-
minal 5 in NYC during October
2010, My Morning Jacket released
"Circuital," the title track from their
sixth album, due out May 31. "Cir-
cuital" is a gargantuan track with
over a seven minute runtime that
slowly builds on a simple bass kick
and hoppy guitar lick. At its climax,
with acoustic guitar flutters, coun-
try-rock twang and a danceable bo-
h¢mian, hippie nature, the song
sounds much larger than the
Louisville church gymnasium that
the album was recorded in.
Cults "Abducted" - "Abducted"
premiered on NPR's "All Things
Considered" and is further proof
that their upcoming debut album
will be a strong contender for sum-
mer album and even one of the best
of the year. The song starts lo-fi be-
fore bursting into the bubbly, 60s
pop the duo has become notorious
for, and pairing this sound with
dark lyrics on abduction is another
feat in itself. Look out for Cults;
their sound will abduct you.
Arctic Monkeys "Don't
Sit
Down, 'Cause I've Moved Your
Chair" - Besides the hokey title,
the Arctic Monkeys' latest flexes
more southern country muscles, yet
also employs more hard-nosed rock
than fans of the indie rockers
might
expect.
Beastie Boys "Make Some
Noise" - The first single from the
Beastie Boys comeback album "Hot
Sauce Committee, Pt. 2,"(which will
be released at a future date) "Make
Some Noise," tickles our "Check
Your Head" era funky bone, making
the Brooklyn boys return as com-
forting as riding the Schwinn that's
been sitting in the garage for the
last four years or seven, if you ex-
clude 2007's instrumental album
"The Mix-Up."
LCD Soundsystem "Live
Alone"
(Frariz
Ferdinand
Cover) - LCD Soundsystem may
not be performing anymore after
their farewell show at Madison
Square Garden on April 2, but it
doesn't signify the end of new music
from the New York-based dance
punk band. Their cover of "Live
Alone" appears on Franz Ferdi-
nand's Record Day release, a compi-
lation of artists covering tracks from
their 2009 album ''Tonight." The
original already faithfully lends it-
self
to
LCD's signature sound: tight,
repetitive bass lines appropriate for
a dance floor or a CBGBs-styled
punk club, staccato, almost robotic
vocal delivery, electronic blips and
bleeps, and sweeping strings. LCD's
rendition travels the unexpected
route, and in a way, the Franz ver-
sion sounds more LCD than LCD's.
James Murphy and company strip
away the embellishments, reinter-
preting the song into a minimalist,
dark, slow-burner over seven min-
utes long.
and richly informative-without the
sensationalism and doomsday fore-
casting many would expe<;t from

FROM COMMONS.WIKIMEDIA.ORG/SUBWIC
"An Inconvenient Truth": This
Academy Award-winning film docu-
ments former Vice President Al
Gore's famous presentation about
global warming. Chock-full of infor-
mation and statistics, "An Incon-
venient Truth" has a dire tone,
urging people to take the crisis more
seriously. Though the film is a bit
dry
at times, Gore does an effective
job at conveying environmental con-
cerns and suggesting solutions. By
highlighting consequences of envi-
ronmentally destructive actions,
Gore calls for a change in policy and
the current human lifestyle.
"Erin Brokovich": Though
"Erin Brokovich," starring Julia
Roberts, is not a documentary, it
does tell a true story of environ-
mental advocacy and how just one
person can make a significant
change. The real Brokovich, an un-
educated legal clerk, stumbled upon
evidence that the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company was releasing
contaminants into drinking water
and compromising the health of
those
who
drank
it.
"Erin
Brokovich" is heart wrenching and
dramatic, but the great story and
excellent acting performances make
it a must-see. It promotes environ-
mental advocacy without preach-
ing-the perfect balance between
information and entertainment.
Leaming about environmental is-
sues doesn't have
to
be boring. Both
serious environmental activists and
average people can benefit from
these movies and documentaries,
which pair entertainment with
valuable facts. Keep Sustainability
Day alive each day with an inter-
esting film!

Working sustainably to give Mother Nature a water break
By JENNA GRANDE
News Editor
Marist's fourth annual Campus
Sustainability Day, dedicated to
promoting sustainable living among
the
college
community, provides us
with the informati"on we need to
make
environmentally
conscious de-
cisions. Water activist Maude Bar-
low's presence on the campus
during this important week had me
thinking: How much water do
I use?
What is my water consumption's en-
vironmental impact and how can
I
change it?
I decided that the best way to
change my behavior was to keep
track of the amount of water
I used.
I emailed my old environmental
teacher, and he provided me with
the average amount of water used
in ev.eryday activities: A sink uses
about 1.5 gallons per minute, a
shower uses about 2.5 gallons per
minute and a toilet uses about two
gallons per flush. With my new
knowledge,
I
kept track from Mon-
day to Sunday of how much water
I
used per day in Marian.
Monday
I
never really have much time to
myself on Mondays, which means
little time for me to actually con-
sume or do much of anything.
I
had
two
eight-ounce
glasses of water
while in the cafeteria to start off my
water consumption tracking. Then,
after a whole day of water tracking
and barely time to breathe,
I
went
to the bathroom twice and used the
sink for a total of five minutes. So,
if
I did my math correctly, my water
total should be at 7.5 gallons for the
sink, four gallons for the toilet and
16 ounces for the cups of water.
Total: 11.5 gallons
If I
always had this same routine,
with a total usage of 231.5 gal-
lons per week, then
I
would use
12,038 gallons of water per year!
Tuesday
Tuesdays are just as busy as Mon-
days. After staying up late on Mon-
d~y night to accidentally write a
six-page
paper and skipping my
8
a.m. class,
I
did three loads of laun-
dry.
After doing some research on
front-loading washing machines, it
said the average washer used about
10-24 gallons of water per load; it all
depended on the size. Given that in-
formation and using my estimation
skills, the small washers in Marian
Hall probably use about 15 gallons
of water.
I
also took a 10-minute
shower today and a six-minute
shower, which was unusual for me.
I normally take about seven-minute
showers and
I
don't shower more
than once a day, but
I
think show-
ering after going to the gym was for
the best. Add this water usage to
the 16 ounces of water
I
had today,
the five minutes
I
left the sink on,
and the three toilet flushes, and
I
am at a high water usage for the
day.
Total:
·
98.5 gallons
Wednesday
Ah, Wednesdays. Physical activ-
ity,
once again, caused me to use
more water. After going to a Zumba
class Wednesday morning, a shower
was in order, and my sore muscles
enjoyed a nice 10-minute shower.
I
also filled up my 12-ounce water
bottle twice since
I was so thirsty
from working out. Drinking a lot of
water also means a lot of trips to the
bathroom. So three toilet flushes
and seven minutes of sink action
later,
I
am still using high amounts
of water. It's actually rather infuri-
ating that
I keep using this much
water.
I
promote my image as envi-
ronmentally conscious and yet,
I
use
so much water!
Total: 41.5 gallons
Thursday
Thursday was one of the best days
of the week, not only because it was
my birthday, but also it was just an
overall great day for water usage:
There were three toilet flushes and
the sink was on for seven minutes.
I
also filled up my water bottle and
two glasses of water while at the
dining hall. Yoga makes you a little
dehydrated, because you are remov-
ing toxins from your body; natu-
rally,
I
had to replace my lost toxins
with pure water.
I
am relatively
proud of the water used today.
Total: 16.5 gallons
Friday
It's Friday, Friday, Friday! This
was a night of celebrations. Be-
cause of the amounts of other liq-
uids
I was consuming, water usage
was a little high today. Five toilet
flushes and 15 minutes of leaving
the sink on meant a whole lot of
water.
I
also drank a lot of water,
but how much,
I cannot exactly re-
member ...
Total: 32.5 gallons
Saturday
Feeling the effects of the previous
night called for a 12-minute
shower. The entire time though,
I
kept thinking about how much
water
I
was using. Environmental
guilt will always come back to
haunt you once you are informed-
there is no way around that. As for
other personal uses, there were
three toilet flushes and
I
lett the
sink on for eight minutes during my
morning and evening routines.
I
also drank three water bottles, but
they were all different sizes, so
I
have to use my best judgment in to-
taling their amounts.
Total: 18 gallons
Sunday
Sunday was a much slower paced
day, and there were only two
sources of water usage: two toilet
flushes and six minutes of using the
sink. That was really it ... a nice way
to end the week: on the low side!
Total: 13 gallons

lonof water used.
This tally, as much as
I hope it is
pretty accurate, does not take into ac-
count certain factors.
I
did not include
the amount of water used in the pro-
duction of the foods
I
ate, and
I
esti-
mated the water usage of the washing
machines. However, it was pretty
shocking to actually see the totals at
the end of each day.
I
always thought
I
was a water conscious person, but it
appears that
I
use more water than
I
realized.
I
am going to
try
and make
changes to the amount of water
I
use.
If I
always had this same routine,
with a total usage of 231.5 gallons per
week, then
I
would use 12,038 gallons
of water per year! These realizations
make it necessary for people like
Maude Barlow to come and discuss
the global water crisis we
are
in, and
will
continue to face
if
we do not make
necessary lifestyle
changes.

Men's Tennis
Over the past week, the Marist
men's tennis team has assembled a
five-match winning streak, beating
Fairfield, Hofstra, St. Peter's, Hart-
ford and Army.
The Red Foxes' annual match with
Army has becom~ such an impor-
tant date on the schedule that head
coach Tim Smith rested some of his
players in preparation during a dou-
bleheader on Saturday.
On Monday afternoon, the Red
Foxes defeated the Cadets 6-1 to
run their winning streak to five
matches as they improved to 13-3
overall.
"This is one of the
·
few times we
have swept the doubles against any
team," Smith said, "let alone a good
team such as Army."
Over the last week, senior Rhys
Hobbs has
become
a fixture in the
doubles' lineup.
Hobbs
is frequently
paired with fellow senior Nicolas
Pisecky which forms a doubles team
with
significant
experience heading
towards the MAAC tournament.
Hobbs and Pisecky won first dou-
bles, 8-5. In the second slot, junior
Matt Himmelsbach and senior Lan-
don Greene teamed up to handily
win 8-2. At third doubles, the fresh-
man duo of Lorenzo Rossi and Will
Reznek recorded the victory by a
score of 8-5.
At first singles, Rossi won 6-3, 4-
6, 10-6. This time slotted at second
singles, Pisecky continued his trend
of comeback victories. After losing
the first set narrowly, Pisecky dom-
inated the second set and fought
through
an
ultra-competitive
breaker to win 5-7, 6-0, 14-12.

Gang,

this season earned her a third-team
all-MAAC selection, is 6-2. Sopho-
more Kelsey Beynnon is also 6-2,
and transfer Kristina Danella is 6-1.

Marist softball extends win streak to nine
By ERIC VANDERVOORT
Sports Editor
The Marist softball team is off to
a fast start in the conference sea-
son, going 6-0 in Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference games so far.
Last weekend, the Red Foxes went
4-0 in doubleheader sweeps
against Rider and Iona at Softball
Park at Gartland Field. Marist's
pitchers threw four complete
games, giving up only seven runs
the entire weekend.
On Saturday, Marist defeated
Rider 3-1 and 9-0. Freshman
pitcher Paige Lewis won game one,
giving up one run on six hits.
Sophomore Emily Osterhaus con-
tinued Marist's dominating pitch-
ing performance with a complete
game shutout in game two, giving
up only three hits. Junior Ashley
Corris led the way offensively,
recording six RBIs on three hits on
the day.
Osterhaus and Lewis pitched
again on Sunday as the Re.d Foxes
faced Iona in a doubleheader.
In
game one, Osterhaus earned the
win against Iona pitcher Sarah
Jackson, last year's MAAC Pitcher
of the Year.
"For these girl& to believe that
th.ey can beat [Jackson], it's huge
for their confidence;" head coach
Joe Ausanio said.
The game ended
on
a walk-off
home tun by sopnomore
Danielle
Koltz in the eighth
inning.
"It was funny; right before coach
told me to hit the first one
over.
It
wasn't on the first pitch, but yeah,
it was exciting," Koltz said.
In game two, the Red Fox offense
exploded for a 13-5 win. Behind
an
RBI walk, a grand slam from
freshman Haley Birnbaum and an-
other home run from Koltz, Marist
led 6-3 after the first inning. Sev-
eral players added RBI hits to
round out the scoring in the game,
which was called after five innings.
On Monday, Birnbaum was
awarded the MAAC Rookie of the
Week award, having gone 4-10
over the weekend with five RBIs.
With the sweep, Osterhaus and
Lewis each improved their season
record to 9-5. Osterhaus was
awarded MAAC Pitcher of the
Week.
''We played [Iona] last year, and
they swept us," Osterhaus said.
''They beat up on us pretty bad. It
was kind of like revenge, we had
nothing to lose. We were the un-
derdogs. so it was nice, I could just
stay controlled and pitch my
game."
Marist improved their overall
record to 21-14
overall
and have
won nine consecutive games.
Ausanio says that the
Foxes'
suc-
cess
can
be attributed the whole
team effort, performing well offen-
sively and defensively (Marist com-
mitted only two errors over the
weekend), as well as great pitch-
ing.
"It
really helps when the team is
firing
on
all cylinders," Ausanio
said. "It's been fun to come to the
park knowing that we have a
chance to win every game."
Despite the pitching staff dealing
with an injury, Osterhaus and
Lewis haven't missed a beat.
''I
can't say enough about our
pitching," Auaanio said. "Both
Emily and Paige have done a great
job. It's unfortunate that we lost
Haley Shelton to injury, but the
other two, both Paige and Emily
have done a great job stepping in
and pretty much being our go-to
for the rest of the year."
Marist' s winning ways are a
major step up from last year, when
the Foxes finished ninth in the
MAAC with a conference record of
4-12. Ausanio says that confidence
is a main reason for the improve-
ment.
"I think the big thing is the girls
believe they can win," Ausanio
said. ''When they come to the park
thinking they can win, you just see
a better attitude on the field."
The players also attribute the
success to the togetherness of the
team.
"I think overall this year every-
one's just so much closer, we're just
having a lot more fun than we did
last year, so that definitely helps,"
Koltz said.
''We're more of a team, we're uni-
fied, and we all enjoy being out
here, so we're playing a lot better."
Things are looking good going
forward for the team, as they only
need four more conference wins to
qualify for the MAAC Tournament,
which Marist is hosting. Next for
the Red Foxes is a home non-con-
ference doubleheader against
Hartford, and away doubleheaders
over the weekend at Manhattan
and St. Peter's.
''We're having fun out here," Os-
terhaus said. ''We're realizing
we're better than we think we are."

Mari.st junior takes on Boston Marathon
ByJIM
URSO
Sports Editor
AB
I walked over to the Donnelly
Cafe on a gloomy Friday morning, I
couldn't help but think, "man, this
weather is miserable." Ten minutes
later, I was engulfed in a full-
fledged conversation with junior
Luke Shane and realized later that
day he'd probably be spending
nearly three hours running in the
'miserable'
weather. Obviously, I
ayoided any mention of the annoy-
ing dampness.
This week, Shane, a member of
Marist's cross country team, will
conclude his training for the Boston
Marathon; which will be held on
Monday, April 18 in Boston, Mass.
If Shane meets his goal of 2:40, he
will most assuredly rank among the
top 250-300 runners out of 28,000
who will lace up their shoes that
day.
Shane has been training for over
six months for the marathon by
run-
ning
7
5-80 miles per week, as well
as abiding
to strict nutritional and
sleep regimens. Along with an
in-
tense training schedule has come a
subset of other challenges, most no-
tably the temptation to just have
fun.
For example, the 21-year-old re-

cently decided to spend a night out
with his friends. The result: a hos-
pital visit. As Shane bent down to
pick up a piece of a bottle near his
foot in a local pub, the glass sud-
denly shattered on his hand. A few
days later, Shane had surgery at St.
Francis Hospital to repair nerve
damage in his hand. Alth9ugh the
injury should not affect Shane in
the race, the unlikely events were
emblematic of Shane's frustration
with trying to mend a normal col-
lege life with such rigorous training.
MARIST INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
"I don't think anyone really can
understand
what
I'm
going
through," Shane said.
''I
really care
about and want to be able
to hang
out with my friends. But I also have
to remember I set a goal, and so
much of my life revolves around
that goal."
According
to Marist Track and
Field coach Pete Colaizzo, it is un-
usual for a college student to take
up competitive running.
"It isn't unusual for an adult run-
ner out of college to become a decent
runner," Colaizzo said, "but for
someone to start
in
college when ar--
guably you are at your most social
time
in
life, it's extremely unusual."
Colaizzo has been
a
close mentor
to Shane throughout training,
teaching him how to run and train
for a race of such immense distance.
Throughout the winter, Shane
trained outside with the men's
Track and Field distance runners.
After roughly 10-13 mile runs with
the team, Shane would often con-
tinue for another eight
to 10 miles.
''Luke is so highly motivated that
I'm just steering the ship," said Co-
laizzo, who admits what Shane
lacks in pure talent, he compensates
