The student newspaper of Marist College
New text alert system implemented
Transportation Committee
.Announcement:
By MONICA SPERANZA
News Editor
Marist recently instituted a text
message alert system, available for
students to opt in by following
@MaristAlerts on Twitter or by
texting: "follow MaristAlerts," to
40404. The school will send out
text messages to students about
class cancellations, campus emer-
gencies and delays.
"This texting notification system
is an important step for Marist,"
Student Body President Andrew
Paulsen said.
"It
fits into a model
that offers Marist officials a wide
variety of options to get in contact
with students in case of a snow
closing or emergency situation on
campus."
Although the new system is not
mandatory, Paulsen recommends
that all students sign up for it, es-
pecially since the system was in re-
sponse to student demand.
"As
always,
Student Government
went ahead with this project be.:
cause it is something that the stu-
dents wanted," he said.
According to Chief Information
Officer Mike Janofsky, improving
communication with students has
been one of the Paulsen adminis-
tration's ongoing goals.
''We worked to get this system
out to the students to ensure that
all students are receiving impor-
tant information in a timely and
convenient manner," Janofsky
said.
The new system is the latest im-
provement in safety and security
on the Marist campus. Michael
Johnson, chair of the Safety and
Security Committee, believes that
communication is the key to help-
ing prevent tragedies on campus.
Many other colleges in the.U.S. are
looking into implementing similar
systems or already have text mes-
saging alert systems of their own.
Messiah College in Grantham,
Pa. has a text message system al-
ready in place. According to the
page "Text Message Alert System"
on the college's website, it found
that 98 percent of college student
have cell phones, so nearly every
student has the ability to receive
text alerts. It also said that word of
mouth can be heavily relied on
using this system. At Marist,
if
one
person in every residence house re-
ceives a text alert, it will be easy to
pass it on to housemates and
friends.
Fairfield University, in Fairfield,
Conn., has a system similar to
Marist's in place. An officer from
Public Safety at Fairfield said that
when there is an alert; students re-
ceive a text message with informa-
tion and a description regarding
the cancellation, delay or emer-
gency.
Closer to Marist is Vassar Col-
lege, which has a system that si-
multaneously sends out text
messages, emails and phone calls
when there is an alert. When there
is an immediate threat, text mes-
sages are promptly sent out to
warn students.
In regards to whether or not the
sending of a mass text message
will slow down the receiving of the
message, SGA does not think slow
receiving will be a problem since
-the school has several other ways
to notify students. Also, Marist re-
lies on Twitter to send out the mes-
sages, so slow message receiving
will be less of a problem.
For further information, contact
Marist Student Government Asso-
ciation at extension 2206, email
sga@marist.edu, or stop by Stu-
dent Center room 34 7.

Marist's annual Silver Needle show has new look, concept
By CHRISTINA D'ARCO
Circle Contributor
The Annual Silver Needle Fashion
Show
is
not until the spring, but plan-
ning for the show is already in the
works. This year's show
will
differ
drastically from last year's formal ap-
pearance. There
will
be exciting colors
and energetic patterns reflected in the
garments. This new direction led
Richard Kramer, the fashion show di-
rector, to title
this
year's fashion show
"FashionSpeak."
"The graphics are based on graffiti,"
Kramer said. '1t's kind of a raw-edged
attack we're taking this year."
The theme of graffiti
will
be incor-
porated into various sections of the
show: the sophomore projects, the jun-
ior garments and the senior collec-
KALI STAMOS/THE CIRCLE

Needle
Fashion Show, models showcased

c:olle<r
tions. As fashion students advance in the program,

ture their
work
and designs in the show.
tions. Even the shirts designed by
freshmen will be what Kramer de-
scribed as '<prismatic in color."
And for the first time this year, the
show is using professional models to
walk the runway for the senior collec-
tions. The other garments
will
be
modeled by Marist students, as
is
typ-
ical.
In fact, the student models have
already been chosen.
On
Wednesday, Sept. 21, students
congregated in the Student Center
Performing Arts Room to
fill
every
available seat. The auditions were
open to students of all majors and
grade levels.
'Tm always impressed by the mun-
her of models that come," Kramer
said. '1 love having the students in-
volved in the show. I think it brings a
real spirit to the campus."
The judges chose approximately 30
female models and five male models
out of tbe 70 students who auditioned.
Jamie Perillo, audition judge and
fashion design professor, said she was
looking for
girls
who were comfortable
walking in heels, those who walked to
·
the music well and, above all, people
who seemed at ease in front of crowds.
Those who were chosen to model in
the show
will
have a great opportu-
nity to see the world of runway fash-
ion.
"Modeling
is
a great way for the stu-
dents to get involved," said senior
Madeline Bergeron, the student di-
rector of this year's fashion show.
Audrey Maysek, a freshman fashion
design student, said she and her class-
mates were encouraged by their fash-
ion professors to audition in. She said
modeling would give her experience in
the industry, as well as the "inside
scoop" on what happens behind the
scenes at a fashion show.
The show is considered by the fash-
ion program to be the highlight of the
year. The afternoon and evening
shows produce a total attendance of
over 2,100 guests. The event presents
the work of design majors and also
showcases the capping projects of sen-
ior merchandising majors.
"Every class
is
represented," Kramer
said. ''The freshmen always do a shirt.
The sophomores do a special proj~t
based around some kind of inspira-
tion."
Juniors usually do three garments,
and the seniors present their collec-
tions comprised of four to seven gar-
ments.
The 26th Annual Silver Needle
Fashion Show
is
scheduled for Friday,
May 4, 2012, at the Mid-Hudson Civic
Center in Poughkeepsie. More infor-
mation about the show
is
available on

department's

Tuesday, Thursday Valley
Cafe gaining popularity
By
DAN
SCOFIELD
Circle Contributor
The Valley Cafe has become one
of the most popular dining options
on campus, based on an increase
in demand and attendance since
fall 2009. It is held every Tuesday
in the Caberet and offers local and
sustainable food, which makes the
carbon footprint smaller.
·
"I never thought our campus
would see the day where a menu
like this would be offered," sopho-
more Pat McGinn said. "For the
trade of just one meal swipe, I am
eating a meal that deserves more
praise on campus
.
"
McGinn had a hard time believ-
ing such a well-kept secret existed
on campus. He said he was "lured
to the Cabaret" by his housemate,
Tom Russo, who has been dining
at the Valley Cafe since last fall.
"I look forward to the different
menus each and every week,"
Russo said. "One week I'm eating
Filipino cuisine and the next Na-
tive American. Where else is that
kind of variety offered?"
On Tuesday, Sept. 27, for exam-
ple, guests were welcomed with a
fresh Tuscarora yellow aquash
soup and wild green salads for
starters, Indian tacos as the main
course, and Indian pudding with
bread for dessert.
"We get our foods straight from
the Hudson valley region," All
Donato, food services marketing
director, said. "It's all sustain-
able and organic, not to mention
dellclous."
Past menu themes have in-
cluded Thai, French, African and
Hawaiian cuisines.
"The diversity is probably what
keeps me coming back," Russo
said.
According to Food Services Mar-
keting Director Ali Donato, the
"best part" is the key marketing
attraction that goes along with
the Valley Cafe: a menu featuring
sustainable, organic and regional
foods.
"We get our foods straight from
the Hudson Valley region," Do-
nato said. "It's all sustainable and
organic, not to mention delicious
.
Our chef offers new themes each
week and for anyone with a meal
plan, its price of just one swipe is
extremely fair."
General Manager of Dining
Services Mohamad Charafeddine
and Associate Dean of Student Af-
fairs Steve Sansola created the
dining event to "highlight more
holistic and sustainable food op-
tions." Two years after its pre-
miere, the Valley Cafe has
experienced a growth in popular-
ity, with 100 students attending
every Tuesday.
With only a number of tickets
available, the weekly event is
available on a first-come, first-
serve basis. Even then, according
to cafe worker and hostess Rose-
marie Keanner, students just can-
not get enough once they sit down.
''We have problems with running
out of utensils," Keanner said.
"People come up for seconds,
thirds, and sometimes, even
fourths."
The Valley Cafe is featured in
the Cabaret every Tuesday from
11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For those
without a dining plan, the cost is
$11.20 per plate. Faculty and staff
with a valid Marist ID may dine
for a discounted price of $7. It is
also offered in the main dining
hall on Thursday at the vegan sta-
tion from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Freaky films for a fall night in
By
MONICA A. SPERANZA
News Editor
If
you are looking for some scary
movie suggestions for this upcoming
Halloweeii, don't just watch what-
ever is on
TV.
You can do without
watching ''Bewitched" on ABC Fam-
ily. Do some research and figure out
which scary movies are right for
you. How about a classic feature-
film, like "Dracula?" Or a slasher
movie
,
like "Saw?" Maybe you want
some nonfiction horror, like the doc-
umentary "Serial Killers"? Take a
tip from someone who loves horror
movies and check out
1:10iuc-
£!'nm
this list. Many of these movies can
be found online on websites such as
Netflix and hulu plus, or through
College Activities and single serve
dvd rental services like RedBox.
Classic
Horror Films

cles a scientist's journey and

visibility go awry. Based on the

fying and chilling. A little girl is vi-
olently possessed by demons and

Slasher Movies
1.

miering in 1980, this movie depicts

as a killer stalks the summer camp

Funny Scary Movies
1.
''Young Frankenstein" - In this
1974 comedy-turned-musical, Gene
Wilder plays the role of Dr.
Frankenstein's grandson, who in-
evitably ends up (hilariously) con-
tinuing his grandfather's work with
a much different outcome.
2. "Little
Shop
of
Horrors"
- The
1986 version is preferred to the
1960. A perpetually awkward nerd
comes into possession of an alien,
man-eating plant.
3. "Ghostbusters" - In this 1984
film,
a group of parapsychology sci-
entists battles supernatural forces
after they form a ghost removal
c:ompany.
4. "Beetlejuice" - Creepy but funny,
the 1988 "Beetlejuice" shows the af-
terlife of a deceased couple who be-
friend a teenage girl and hire a
''bio-exorcist."
5. "Abbot and Costello Meet
Frankenstein" - This comedy duo is
back in this 1948 movie encounters
not only the Frankenstein monster,
but Dracula and the Wolf Man, too.
Documentary
Scares
1.
"Serial Killers" - Real-life serial
killers and murderers give first-
hand accounts of their horrific
crimes.
2. "Paradise Lost: The Child Mur-
ders at Robin Hood Hill" - Docu-
ments the trial of two teenage boys
accused of sexually mutilating and
killing three young boys.
3. "Charles Manson Superstar" -A
play on the title of the musical
"Jesus Christ Superstar," this 1989
documentary takes a look at the life
of Charles Manson, whose followers
believed him to be the Christ and
committed horrible violent acts.
4. ''Most Evil: The TV Series" - This
2006/2007 series on Investigation
Discovery (available on DVD) ana-
lyzes a "scale of evil" by looking into
crimes committed by infamous
killers and ordinary people.
5. "The Iceman Interviews" -
A forensic scientist tries to get in to
the mind of a mafia hitman serving
90 years in prison after confessing
to numerous murders in this 2003
documentary.
Psychological Thrillers
1.
"Silence of the Lambs" - In this
1991 movie, an FBI cadet must co-
operate with a psychotic, but highly
intelligent serial killer in order to
get his help catching another killer.
2. "Se7en"-A detective on the brink
of retirement and a rookie investi-
gate grisly murders based on the
seven deadly sins in this 1995 film.
They must get into the mind of this
highly-specialized killer.
3. "Donnie
Darko"
- Premiering in
2001, this movie follows a strange
young man and his "Harvey" -like
rabbit friend with a big twist end-
ing. Jake Gyllenhal gets creepy in
this role.
4. "American Psycho" - By day,
Christian Bale is a normal New
York business man in this 2000
film. By night, his alter-ego takes
over as he gets deeper into his
twisted fantasies.
5. "Psycho" - An Alfred Hitchcock
classic, this 1960 film introduces the
audience to a young woman who
goes on the run after stealing
$40,000, only to end up at the wrong
hotel with ''Norman."
If you are torn between this abun-
dance of fantastic suggestions, in-
stead of trying to squeeze in all 25
try watching just one from each cat-
egory. This is the combination I
would recommend: ''The Wolf Man,"
''The Collector," ''Young Franken-
stein," "Charles Manson Superstar"
and "Silence of the Lambs." If you
are feeling ambitious and want to go
for 10, your next choices should be:
"Dracula;' "Saw," "Ghostbusters,"
"Serial Killers" and "Se7en." Enjoy
your night in getting freaked out.

The thrills and chills of 'American Horror Story'
By
MELANIE LAMORTE
A&E Editor
"American Horror Story" is FX's
intriguing new drama from Ryan
Murphy anti Brad Falchuk, the cre-
ators of "Nip/Tuck" and "Glee." Mir-
roring the quirks and campiness of
Murphy and Falchuk's previous
shows, "American Horror Story'' is a
bizarre creep-fest that's sure to
gather a cult following at the very
least, though it's definitely not for
everyone.
Having premiered in early Octo-
ber, just in time for Halloween,
"American Horror Story" delivers
all the twisted and terrifying ele-
ments of a classic horror story with
an artsy, kitsch spin that pushes
the envelope. According to Nielsen
ratings, the pilot episode drew in 3.2
million viewers.
There's nothing particularly orig-
inal about the show's main premise:
A troubled young family moves
across the country for a fresh start
on their lives. They can't resist the
impossibly low selling price of a big,
beautiful restored mansion that has
just one catch: many of the home's
previous owners have been killed in-
side. After moving in, the family
starts hearing voices, hallucinating
and receiving visits from ill-inten-
tioned neighbors. It's a story that's

been told many times before, but
the good acting and perverse psy-
chosexual undertones make it some-
thing fresh, new and undeniably in-
teresting.
Dylan McDermott plays Ben, the
good-looking but adulterous psy-
chologist husband and father, try-
ing to right the wrongs he's put his
family through. Connie Britton
plays Vivian, the beautiful but
wounded wife and mother trying to
get a grip on life after experiencing
the pain of a miscarriage and a
cheating husband. Taissa Farmiga
plays Violet, the couple's angst-rid-
den spitfire of a teenage daughte'r.
Three episodes in, the series has
put its main characters in enough
terrifying situations to send them
running, but they stay put despite
all the lessons that horror movies
have ever taught us (e.g. move out
of the haunted murder house after
knife-wielding intruders try to kill
you). Even though each episode has
its quota of standard horror story
moments, the actors do a great job
of portray.mg their cliche characters
in a way that's anything but.
Although the show includes plenty
of violence, gore and disturbing sit-
uations,
there's something about
"American Horror Story" that says
"don't take this too seriously."
Maybe it's the strange sex or the
far-fetched nature of every scene, or
perhaps it's the music that seems to
be ripped right out of "Psycho," (the
creators are licensing the music
from its composer) that reminds
viewers to sit back and take this
show for what it is-a cringe-worthy
but entertaining new drama, just
spooky enough to get viewers in the
Halloween spirit.

Pitt's winning performance in
'Moneyball'
may not score him an Oscar
By
JOSEPH BROSNAN
Circle Contributor
With the release of ''Moneyball"
this past month, much praise has
been given to Brad Pitt for his lead-
ing role as Oakland Athletics' gen-
eral manager Billy Beane. Pitt, who
is in almost every scene, is at times
charming and at other times, de-
manding. But throughout the
movie, he is captivating. With all
the acclaim coming Pitt's way, a
common thought has seen light:
Could Pitt win an Academy Award
for this role?
Pitt has one thing going for him:
the Academy feels as if they owe
him one. Pitt" has been a mainstay
in Hollywood and is one of the few
true movie stars of his time. Many
felt that he should have taken home
the tiny golden man for his role in
''The Curious Case of Benjamin But-
ton," but the Oscar went to a previ-
ous winner, Sean Penn.
But back to ''Moneyball" and Pitt's
chances of winning-it probably
won't happen. It's not because he
doesn't deserve it, but because the
Academy seems to be in the midst of
a trend where those nominated for
Best Actor who starred in sports-re-
lated movies just aren't winning. In
fact, the last time the award went-to
an athlete was in 2000 and that was
for Russell Crowe's role as Maximus
Decimus Meridius in "Gladiator."
Since then, five actors have at-
tended the awards with hopes of
winning after starring in a sports
movie and none have won. Unfortu-
nately for Pitt, based on the below
list, his chances don't look that
good.
2010
James Franco saw his first nomi-
nee for his role of Aron Ralston in
Danny Boyle's "127 Hours." Franco
is the main actor and for the major-
ity of the film, the only actor on
screen. Franco's character gets his
arm stuck beneath a boulder while
mountain olimbing in Utah in 2003.
Based on a true story, Franco must
endure hours of pain, dehydration,
and helplessness as he searches for
a way out and a way to escape
death. But Franco didn't win the
Oscar. Colin Firth took home the
award for
his
role as King George VI
in ''The King's Speech."
2009
Morgan Freeman was nominated
for his role as Nelson Mandela in
the rugby movie ''lnvictus." Directed
by Clint Eastwood and co-starring
Matt Damon, ''Invictus" definitely
packed enough of a punch to have
Freeman win. There was only one
problem: the movie was about
rugby. The film centers around
events in South Africa in 1995 when
the nation finally rid itself of
apartheid and how a sport united
the country. But Freeman didn't
win. Jeff Bridges won for his role of
a country singer looking to revive
his career in the film "Crazy Heart."
2008
Mickey Rourke revived his floun-
dering career with his portrayal of
Randy ''The Ram" Robinson in ''The
Wrestler." Rourke's character was a
has-been wrestler who had seen his
w,hole life fall apart before his eyes.
Despite his doctor's pleas to stay out
of the ring, Rourke gets back in,
eager to do the only thing in his life
that has ever made sense. But
Rourke didn't win. And Pitt didn't
either, in case you were paying at-
tention. Sean Penn won for his role
as Harvey Milk, a gay rights activist
and politician in the film ''Milk."
2004
Clint Eastwood was nominated for
his role in the boxing movie ''Million
Dollar Baby" as a smart but only
marginally successful trainer who
takes on Hillary Swank's character
and guides her towards becoming a
professional. Eastwood's character
is at first apprehensive towards.tak-
ing on a female but his character
changes as the film progresses.
Eastwood didn't win. Instead,
Jamie Foxx won for his role playing
Ray Charles.
2001
Will Smith found his way into the
Academy Awards for the first time
for his role as heavyweight boxing
champion Muhammad Ali in the
film "Ali." Smith dedicated over a
year to learning about Ali and train-
ing. He also spent time studying
Islam and reworking his dialect. In
fact, unlike other boxing movies in-
cluding
Best
Picture
winner
''Rocky," all of the fight scenes were
realistic, with Smith actually taking
all of the punches seen on screen.
But Smith didn't win. Denzel Wash-
ington won for his role as a morally
questionable LAPD narcotics officer
in the film ''Training Day."
And that brings us all the way
back to 2000, the year Crowe won
for "Gladiator." Looking at the last
decade, it is clear that the odds are
not in Pitt's favor this year. While
only one actor won for a sports-re-
lated film, three won for roles whose
characters were inspired by music
(Bridges, Foxx and Adrien Brody in
2002 for "The Pianist"), two play
gay characters (Penn and Phillip
Seymour Hoffman in 2005 for
"Capote") and two portrayed
.
kings
(Firth and Forest Whitaker in 2006
for ''The Last King of Scotland''). Al-
though the sample size for this as-
sertion is small, the findings are
telling. Pitt's performance was cap-
tivating and in
fact,
I'm sure more
people will be able to relate to his
character than most of the other
nominees. But until Pitt plays ei-
ther a gay man, a king or a musi-
cian, actually preferably all three at
once, it does not seem that the
highly
sought-after
miniature
golden man will be setting up shop
on Pitt's mantelpiece any time soon.

Public speaking competition approaches
By
NGUYEN PHAM
Staff Writer
On Wednesday, Nov. 9, Marist
College will be }wsting its second
annual Stand Up Speak Out event,
a public speaking competition open
to everyone on campus.
Stand Up Speak Out is sponsored
by the School of Communication
and the Debate and Advocacy Soci-
ety.
This year's theme is Marist Cares.
Students will be discussing their
passion about the Marist commu-
nity,
campus or environment
around them, according to the
Stand Up Speak Out press release.
Students from varying fields of
study will come together
to
express
a similar cause: why Marist is great
place
to
be.
Students must create a persua-
sive four to six minute speech about
why they care about Marist in order
to compete.
Students' video submissions on
YouTube will always be considered
for the competition. There will be
$500 in· cash prizes for finalists, ac-
cording to the Stand Up Speak Out
press release.
Participants must send their
speech or an outline to marists-
peakout@aol.com and submit a two
to three minute video to the Stand
Up Speak Out Youtube account,
s9blclkszhxu@m.you tube.comby
Oct. 31 at midnight.
For the video, students must in-
troduce themselves, their major,
speech topic and why they should be
chosen for the competition.
A total of eight finalists
will be
chosen to compete; six will be cho-
sen by judges and two will be cho-
sen as fan favorites, based on votes
for the two best videos. Voting ends
Wednesday, Nov. 2.
Although Stand Up Speak Out
may appear intimidating at first,
competing was helpful, according to
last year's second place winner,
Claire Mooney.
"Not only did the judges score me,
they gave me advice on how to im-
prove my speaking skills. I had
never had the opportunity to get
personal feedback on my speaking
before, so this was wonderful,"
Mooney said in her blog post, which
can be found at http://maristfox-
tales.wordpress.com.
Last year's judges included Mark
DeSantis, director of merchandise
for Pro's Choice, Victoria Campbell,
a Port Jervis city court judge, Daryl
Richards, public relations director
of United Healthcare and, a mem-
her of the Communication Advisory
Board, according to last year's
Stand Up Speak Out press release.
The event allows students to receive
advice from professionals in the
field of public affairs.
A professor said a few years back
that public speaking is the number-
one fear among adults - snakes and
death are the next scariest. Yes,
people would rather die than talk in
front of a large audience. And
if
that
sounds far-fetched to you, then
speak up!
More students are now combating
this fear, perhaps due to Marist's
public presentation classes
and
stu-
dent organizations like the Marist
Toastmasters Club.
Students from all five colleges at
Marist are ei:icouraged to partici-
pate or attend the event.
Marist Football Network kicks off with interviews and coverage
By
BRIAN
MAHER
Circle Contributor
For their senior capstone project,
five Marist College seniors have
come together to launch the Marist
Football Network, covering the ins
and outs of the Marist College foot-
ball team.
Philip Terrigno, Matt Sutor,
Michael Quinn, Amanda Mas-
troberti and Rachel Blair have set
out to cover all aspects of Marist
football as the squad enters its third
full season in the Pioneer Football
League.
"It's loosely based off of NFL Live
and College Gameday, both ESPN
programs," senior sports communi-
cation student Matt Sutor said.
The Marist Football Network
shoots
an in-studio pre-game show
that is released every Friday on
http://.maristfootballnetwork.com.
It is shot in the TV Studio, Lowell
Thomas room
205.
In addition, the group performs a
live, half-hour pre-game show from
Tenney Stadium an hour before
every Marist home game kicks off.
Every member of the team brings
a different dynamic towards the
success of the network.
"We wanted to recruit the best
team, the best video production and
the best broadcasting students to
put together this project," Editor-in-
Chief of Marist College's "The Cir-
cle" Philip Terrigno said.
He described the collaborative ef-
fort as "something that had never
been done before."
Senior communication students
are required to complete a capstone
project
to
best display their knowl-
edge and abilities gained through-
out their career at Marist.
''We're not doing this for a capping
grade, we're doing this for our own
benefit," Sutor said. "At this point,
the grade is secondary. We pride

ourselves on getting a lot of follow-
ers on Twitter, getting a lot of visi-
tors
to
the website, and getting good
feedback from the Marist commu-
nity."
Currently, the Marist Football
Network has over
250 followers on
Twitter in the four weeks that it has
been up and running.
''We really want to bring the bar
up for capping projects in communi-
cations," Co-Sports Director of
MCTV Michael Quinn said.
To run this operation at Tenney
Stadium on game day, the network
has relied on the cooperation of the
Marist Athletics Department.
''The Marist Athletics Department
has been very accommodating for
us," Terrigno said. "In particular,
coach Tunde Agboke who is a new
member of the coaching staff."
Agboke has helped the network co-
ordinate interviews with players
and coaches for the show's weekly
pre-game spot that airs on Fridays.
To go along with the network's
Twitter account, the team members
have established a website, a Face-
book page and a YouTube channel
to
showcase their programming and
news relating to the football team.
As of Tuesday, Oct.
25, they have
uploaded 1 7 videos under the user-
name MaristFN.
Videos include pre-game coverage,
game highlights and interviews
with athletes among others.
"I simply wouldn't settle for any-
thing less," Terrigno said. ''This
project I consider to be a direct re-
flection of myself and my team-
mates."
The website offers detailed game
recaps and photos from the prior
week's games.
"Just having people come up and
saying, 'hey your stuff is great' is
what really means a lot to me and
I'm sure my teammates as well,"
Quinn said.

Plagiarism extends into the newsroom
By
MICHELLE CARPENTER
Circle Contributor
Do not take credit for work that is
not your own. Always cite your
sources and provide attribution
where it is due. Plagiarism is an of-
fense that students are warned
about in every class as a crime
against the institution.
This offense, however, extends be-
yond the-
classroom. Jonathan
Broder, former journalist for ''The
Chicago Tribune," exemplified how
plagiarism remains a reality after
school.
Broder had been a foreign corre-
spondent for "The Chicago Trib-
une," working in the Middle East
since 1979. He had been nominated
for a Pulitzer Prize by the Tribune
for his
accomplishments
in report-
ing in the Middle East.
On Feb. 22, 1988, in an article ti-
tled "Where Violence Is a Way of
Life: On West Bank, Chaos Is Nor-
malcy," Broder described the vio-
lence, chaos and state of life in the
Israeli-occupied West Bank. Some
of the writing in this article, how-
ever, was not Broder's own work.
It was found that sentences and
phrases published in Broder's arti;
cle were originally written in an ar-
ticle by Joel Greenberg, journalist
for the Jerusalem Post. On Feb. 29,
1988, ''The Chicago Tribune" issued
a
correction and clarification.
The Tribune wrote, ''The facts in
the Tribune story, which included
substantial original material, were
accurate. The language taken from
''The Jerusalem Post" column con-
stitutes only a fraction of the total
story and contributed significantly
only to organization and imagery.
But the byline inaccurately implied
that it was all
Mr.
Broder's work."
The Pulitzer Prize nomination for
Broder was rescinded by former
Tribune
editor, James Squires.
Broder
resigned from the Tribune in
March 1988. Squires commented on
the plagiarism saying that Broder
was "obsessed by the story, would-
n't take any help. He was suffering
from the physical fatigue and
trauma of watching that story."
This was not the first instance of
plagiarism by Broder. Philip Terz-
ian, literary editor of "The Weekly
Standard," noticed that an article
written by Broder in 1981 about
Muammar Qaddafi included frag-
ments of sentences and phrases that
had been previously published in an
article by
"Newsweek."
After notify-
ing the Tribune about these simi-
larities, a
"kill
advisory" was issued
for Broder' s story.
Terzian commented on Broder's
plagiarism in 1988 saying, "What
struck me at the time was the edi-
tor, Squires, said it was so shocking
and out of the blue, which was
funny because seven years earlier
the same thing had happened."
Despite these instances of plagia-
rism, Broder was able to continue a
career in journalism. He went on to
become the Washington correspon-
dent for "Salon,'' which describes it-
self as an online "progressive news
site." He is currently the senior edi-
tor at "Congressional
Quarterly,"
a
publishing company owned by The
Economist Group, which produces
publications focused
on
the govern-
ment.
Broder
broke an ethical rule of
journalism. He was
dishonest
and
passed off someone else's work as
his own. Yet, despite these crimes
against journalism, he is able to
continue a career dissem~nating
news to the public. Those who have
fabricated the news carry Scarlet
Letters for the rest of their lives;
yet, when a journalist plagiarizes, is
it considered less of an offense than
for other types of writers?
Former editor for "Salon," David
Talbot, believes so. He commented
on the matter in 1998, saying that
Broder "really fought back, you
know, and rehabilitated himself as
a journalist. My feeling is that this
is not a case like Stephen Glass, or
Janet Cooke, or Patricia Smith, of
someone chronically making up sto-
ries."
Others
do not harbor the same
feelings on this issue. In an inter-
view with Philip Terzian on Oct. 21,
2011, he stated that "plagiarism is
a very serious matter and one of the
worst things you can do in journal-
ism."
Terzian referred to plagiarism as
"intellectual theft" and "a capital of-
fense in our field of work."
This problem continues to show up
in the news. The integrity of jour-
nalism rests upon the truth. Pub-
lishing someone else's material,
while it may deliver truthful facts,
is still deceptive and calls into ques-
tion the credibility of journalists
and the field as a whole.
To avoid this, Terzian provided a
simple solution. "My advice to you,"
he said, "is be original."
'Never too old for Halloween,' students say
By
MICHAEL
GAROFALO
Features Editor
As the leaves change colors and
fall from their branches, it is in-
creasingly clear: Halloween is near.
"I love Halloween," said junior
Abby Giffin. "It's
one
of my favorite
holidays."
Giffin had plans to shop at Hal-
loween Scene in the Poughkeepsie
Galleria, but they are no longer
doing business there.
There are two Spirit Halloween
stores on U:S. Route 9. The one
closer to Marist is located in the
Poughkeepsie Plaza, where Block-
buster used to be. The other is fur-
ther
south,
in the Lafayette Plaza,
just after Mid-Hudson Subaru.
Giffin's favorite part of Halloween
is getting ready. She wants her cos-
tume to be "more scary than funny."
It has been years since junior
Robert Mcinnes dressed up for the
holiday.
"But college is a fun time for that,"
he said. "A lot of people are doing it,
so it's not weird."
Sophomore Shelby Fix is consid-
ering dressing up as Gluttony,
one
of the seven deadly sins, or Velma
from Scooby-Doo.
She has already done some deco-
rating around her room, using small
pumpkins and cut-outs of skulls,
and she is looking forward to Hal-
loween movie specials on ABC.
Last year, Fix went to the swim
house for a Halloween party, but
she was deterred by the large
orowd, which she thought may
cause police come and break it up.
Giffin said that she dealt with
major crowds at The Chance The-
ater. She advised potential party-
goers to arrive early and expect
noise. Ear plugs are a must at The
Chance, she said.
Junior Dorian Misitano feels the
same way about crowds, but crowds
not enough to stop her friend, who
wants to go to Primetime Dance
Club in New Paltz.
But the party scene is not the only
choice for students on Halloween.
Freshman Brianna Carey said that

Black People: On fried poult_ry and prejudice
By RAVEN BAPTISTE-HOLDER
Circle Contributor
There is very possibly an ele-
phant in the room. Or, more ap-
propriately, a bucket of chicken.
But who else is there in that room?
You know it.
If
you've ever walked
by a Popeye's, or been privy to a
few recent and very strange do-
mestic and international public
disasters, you know it. There are
black people in that room. But
why?
Surely everyone, aside from
the vegan and ovolacto-vegetarian,
enjoys a piece of crispy, golden
fried chicken.
In 2010, NBC decided to cele-
brate Black History Month
with fried chicken and collard
greens. Just this month, at-
tention is called to an estab-
lishment in Beijing: OFC, or
Obama Fried Chicken.
However, it is a common percep-
tion that black people in particular
enjoy it, and even further have a
genetic predilection for this food.
More recently the stereotype has
garnered less credibility and has
evolved beyond blackface to fodder
for black comedy. But where did
this stereotype even come from?
To answer this question we
would have to travel first to 18th
century Scotland, where the Scot-
tish, unlike their English brethren,
would fry instead of boil their
chicken. Scottish immigrants who
eventually settled in the southern
parts of the United States contin-
ued this tradition, now frying
using the high-calorie and inex-
pensive lard easily accessible on
their homesteads. Their hard,
agr~rian lifestyle made the cheap,
high-calorie food a staple.
Fried chicken was eventually as-
similated into general southern
cuisine, which saw the transfer-
ence of these tastes to slaves who
worked on southern plantations.
African slaves who were cooks be-
came familiar with this dish and
even added a few new spices not
present in its original inception.
And as it had been an economical
and highly accessible option for the
Scots years earlier, so it was for
African slaves who had to use left-
overs and wastes for cooking, often
frying the. cheaper meat of the
chickens they were allowed to
keep. However, social schema that
connects fried chicken and black
people only just begins here.
It was the commercialization of
an idea through advertising and
minstrelsy that cemented the con-
nection. Minstrelsy, an old Ameri-
can
form
of
entertainment
(1830-1910) using biackface and
depicting black people as lazy,
dumb, happy creatures, has also
had a hand in this. Typically the
performers would put black paint
on their faces and paint o
_
n big, ex-
aggerated red lips. In fact, it was
from these performances that we
find the origins of "why did the
chicken cross the road" jokes.
It was these socially constructed
black faces that would accompany
ads for early 20th century restau-
rants such as the Coon Chicken
Inn:, and Sambo's, the latter com-
ing from a series of Little Black
Sambo children's books that often
featured black Sambo and a slice of
watermelon.
In
1935 General Elec-
tric even made use of a black child
eating chicken to sell a brand new
stove. The caption reads: "Yo' next
range should be a General Elec-
tric." Branding often used these
'black faces' to sell their products,
creating permanent associations.
These social constructs are so
pervasive that even today, scholars

reflecting on the strategic
placements of chicken restaurants
such as Popeye's and Church's in
poor, predominantly black neigh-
borhoods. In 2010, NBC decided to
celebrate Black l:listory Month
with fried chicken and collard
greens, and just this month, atten-
tion is called to an establishment
in Beijing,

funny in their absurdity, but what
is really absurd is how long a
stereotype like this can persist.

Halloween, but college festivities
tend to leave that part out.
If
you. want a quick fix for your
nostalgia, there is no shame in
lounging in front of your TV on Hal-
loween night with a bag of M&Ms,
watching "Charlie Brown's" Linus
throw tantrums over The Great
Pumpkin. However, if you find your-
self craving more than sugar this
weekend, one feisty remedy is to
turn your sex partner's body into
your
personal
trick-or-treating
route, and enjoy licking sweets off
their private, gated neighborhood.
The most common sugary products
that you might consider incorporat-
ing into your sex life are condiments
like honey, whipped
cream
and
chocolate syrup. In addition to being
convenient, using grocery goodies to
fulfill your sugary sex desires is
smart if you're shy, because you can
purchase them alongside your real
food for the week, and no
one
will
suspect that you have a salacious
evening planned. They are safe and
fun for chests, breasts, buttcheeks
and inner thighs (although you
should probably bypass honey if you
and/or your partner have lots of
chest hair)
.
On the other hand, there are some
rather obvious downsides to these
go-to sex sweeteners. Whipped
cream contains popular allergens
like eggs and milk, and vegan and
dairy-free alternatives can cost close
to $10!
If
you or your partner has di-
etacy restrictions, stick to Hershey's
chocolate
or
strawberry syrup,
which, according to People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals at
http://petakids.com, are "acciden-
tally vegan."
If
you seek a more trick-or-treat-
inspired approach to sweet sex,
look to classic novelty candies
for tasty prop play [like] using
Strawberry Sour Power Belts as
whips (Twlzzlers or Red Vines
would work Just as well).
Keep all of these toppings out of
your below-the-belt orifices. Re-
member that vaginas are not the
only genitalia at risk, and yeast in-
fections are Iiot the only threats.
''Make sure you use food exter-
nally only
and
don't let any get too
close to your vaginal opening
or
the
tip of [your] penis.
If
it gets inside
you, it can introduce bacteria and
cause irritation or an infection,"
said s~aff writers at http://cos-
mopolitan.com.
Additionally, avoid bringing oily
products into the crotch-o-sphere.
"Oil breaks down latex condoms,
traps bacteria and irritants close
to the skin, and washes off with
difficulty" said the staff writers at
Columbia
University's
Alice!
Health Promotion Program at
http://goaskalice.columbia.edu.
While licking trails of syrup and
sauce off your partner may taste and
feel divine, it's always safer to opt
for flavored products that were de-
signed for sex. Wet brand is sold in
most convenience stores, and offers
a wide range of flavors in their line
of sugar-free, colorless
lubricants.
They are all
latex-friendly,
and five
of the flavors double as warming
massage lubricants. Babeland toys

flavored lubricants

which they
collaborated with the company Sliq-
uid.
"Like all Sliquid lubes, [these are]
glycerin-free, sugar-free, paraben-
free, gluten-free and vegan, so you'll
be worry-free as you enjoy a lip-
smacking twist on cunnilingus or a
blow job," said the staff at

suggests
making a garter out of a candy neck-
lace and using Strawberry Sour
Power Belts as whips (Twizzlers or
Red Vines would work just as well).
If
you're into shocking flavors not
meant for the weak, she recommends
playing around with Warheads and
Hot Tamales Candy Spray.
''Use the spray version of this red-
hot cinnamon candy to graffiti each
other's bodies," Morgenstern said.
"See which one of you can come up
with the naughtiest image or dirtiest

There is sexual utility waiting to

Football wins handily in Indianapolis
By
ERIC VANDERVOORT
Sports Editor
The Marist football team went on
the road and picked up a win on
Saturday, beating Pioneer Football
League opponent Butler 28-10.
Senior quarterback Tommy Reilly
completed 21 of 24 passes for 270
yards and two touchdowns for the
Red Foxes.
After Bulter got on the board first
with a field goal, Marist scored the
next 28 points. Reilly found junior
tight end Anthony Calcagni for a
29-yard touchdown completion to
cap a 12-play, 79-yard drive that
gave the Foxes a 7-3 lead.
Senior defensive back Jaquan
Bryant came up with an intercep-
tion on the ensuing Butler drive,
which Marist followed with a 9-play,
68-yard drive ending in senior Matt
Gray's one-yard touchdown run.
The Red Foxes scored again with 31
seconds to play in the first half, this
time after a 95-yard drive that in-
cluded a 65-yard pass from Reilly to
Calcagni. The drive was capped by
Reilly's 4-yard throw to Byron Gard-
ner.
Marist's defense continued to hold
strong, picking up two more inter-
ceptions (another by Bryant and one
by linebacker Paul Sakowski). The
Red Foxes' final score came on a 3-
yard run by Atiq Lucas. Butler

"It was a great honor," Calcagni
said, "but I owe it to Tommy Reilly
and everyone else."
Reilly said that knowing he was
safe in the starting role helped his
performance.
"I definitely feel pressure taken
off. I don't have to worry about
being pulled out of the game. It
makes me more calm, I don't have
to think as much and I can just play
the game and do what I'm supposed
to do."
"It was a very good overall per-
formance," Parady said. "The de-
fense again led the way, I thought
with the early turnover and we held
them to a field goal, the offense re-
ally started to play well after that."
League's
top
defense
The Red Foxes have the top-
ranked defense in the PFL, giving
up 307.2 yards per game. Saturday
was no exception, as Butler man-
aged only 284 yards. Marist each
sacked and picked off Bulldog quar-
terbacks three times.
"It was another good defensive
performance," Defensive Coordina-
tor Scott Rumsey said. "Our kids
were able to handle the game plan
that
we put in place, we made some
good game time adjustments, and
bottom line, we tackled well. We've
been up and down on our tackling,
and this Saturday we tackled real
well and we were able to give them
some issues. We also disguised a lot
of our coverages, which directly led
to all three interceptions that we
got."
Rumsey said that the defense's
success can be attributed to a team
consistency they haven't had in a
while.
''We're getting great contributions
out of a lot of different people. Some-
times it doesn't always show up in
the stat line, but I think a guy that's
been really consistent every single
day is Ryan Cronan, he's done a
great job for us. J aquan Bryant has
really been a shutdown corner for us
all year. Terrence Fede makes a lot
of plays."
Cronan led the team with nine
tackles on Saturday, and Fede had
1.5 sacks. Rumsey also mentioned

On Saturday, Wale Onakoya and
Calvin McCoy each rushed 14 times,
for 4 7 and 44 yards, :respectively.
Matt Gray added another 35 yards,
Atiq Lucas contributed 17, and Tim-
othy
Moller
ran for 16.
Parady said that having several
options in the running game is a
good thing, and that this aspect is
much improved from the beginning
of the season.
"Now we're able to run the ball 40-
plus times a game as opposed to
early in the season we were down
around 20 carries," Parady said.
''We've been able to establish that
line of scrimmage, and that's due to
the offensive line. McCoy, Onakoya,
Lucas and Gray had a nice day for
us. Those guys have practiced hard
and put themselves in a position to
get opportunities on game day."
Foxes banged
up
Quarterback Chuckie Looney, who
was the starter at the beginning of
the season and took over for Tommy
Reilly mid-game last week against
Campbell, was out with a foot/ankle
injury suffered at the end of that
game.
Initial MRI results were negative,
but Looney
is
behind schedule for
being able to walk in a boot without
crutches.
Other key players still missing
time for the Foxes include running
back Ryan Dinnebeil, wide receiver
Mike Rios and linebacker Mike
Hagemann.
Struggling at
home
With the win at Butler, Marist im-
proved to 3-2 in road games this
.
year. Meanwhile, the Foxes are 0-3
at Tenney Stadium and in the mid-
dle of a seven-game home losing
streak.
The coaching staff is struggling to
determine the reason behind the
Foxes' inability to win in Pough-
keepsie.
''Maybe we're spending too much
energy in the locker room," Rumsey
said, "so we're going to try to scale
that back. I think some of it does
come from that's where we are
every day. We come out of the same
locker room every day, we come out
to the field the same way, so maybe
we're going to try to change some
things with maybe our approach to
coming out to the field. Since Ten-
ney Stadium opened, that's some-
thing we've struggled with a lot. We
get great crowds every week, so it's
not a question of that, so I think it's
more of an internal thing that we
have to look at how we're handling
the game day operation."
"It's not acceptable for us," Parady
said. ''We have to figure out how to
win at home. Most of our home
losses have been fairly tight games
that plays in the fourth quarter
would
win.
If
you're going to be a
successful program, you have to win
at home. That's the bottom line."
Up
next:
Drake
Marist will next be in action on
Saturday, Oct. 29 as they take on
the Drake Bulldogs at·noon. Drake,
at 6-2 overall and 4-1 in the PFL, is
still in the race for the conference
title.
The Bulldogs have outscored the
Red Foxes in their only two meet-
ings by a total score of 76-6, both
games coming in the last two years.
Even so, Marist is going in with
high hopes.
"I feel like after going into Butler
and winning 28-10, our team morale
is better. We feel a lot closer; both
sides of the ball are doing great,"
Bryant said.
''I
feel like we've got some momen-
tum going forward," Calcagni said.
''We're looking to win out and pro-
tect this house."
The coaching staff
is
hard at work,
spending hours upon hours watch-
ing game film.
''We want to play fast," Rumsey
said. ''Drake gives you a lot of
is-
sues, they have a lot of athletes out
there, they don't huddle, they keep
everybody at the line. Their quar-
terback is incredibly efficient. It's a
great challenge for us, they're the
number two defense in the confer-
ence. We want to stay on top."
Parady said there's still room for
improvement.
''This week we were even in
turnover margin," Parady said. ''We
need ball security. Their defense re-
ally rips at ball in secondary. De-
fensiv~ly, we need to put them in a
one-dimensional game so that
they're not able to both run and
throw' the ball against us. We have
to play up to our capabilities; that's
the big thing. When we do that;
we're a pretty good football team."
Men's soccer beats St. Peter's in overtime
By
GARRIN MARCHETTI
Sports Editor
The Marist men's soccer team
played two games over the weekend
against two MAAC opponents. The
first game, played on Friday, saw
the Red Foxes emerge victoriously
in double overtime, 3-2, against St.
Peter's in Jersey City.
Senior Krystian Witkowski scored
the winning goal for Marist in the
104th minute. It was Witkowski's
third goal of the season.
Marist also saw contributions from
freshman Dylan Lee and senior
Lucas Szabo. Both Lee and Szabo's
goals came in the game's opening 14
minutes, at 7:52 and 13:50, respec-
tively. Graduate student goalkeeper
Steve Skonieczny made six saves,
including three in the first 40 sec-
onds of overtime.
The victory snapped a two-game
losing streak for the Red Foxes.
It
also marked the first time that the
team won an overtime contest this
season after tying the previous four
overtime games.
On Sunday, Marist squared off
against Manhattan on the road. Un-
like Friday's game, this contest did
not end in victory, as the Jaspers
beat the Red Foxes 1-0.
Manhattan's Trevor Chiduku
scored the game's only goal at the
59:22 mark, and that would be all
the Jaspers would need. Marist out-
shot Manhattan 22-8, but was un-
able to put the ball in the back of
the net.
Leading the Red Foxes with seven
shots and two shots on goal was sen-
ior Krystian Witkowski. Junior
Stephen Brossard and senior Lucas
Szabo each had four shots and one
shot on goal.
This was the third shutout loss
suffered by Marist this season. The
last shutout against the Red Foxes
came back on Sept. 30, when the
team lost to Niagara, 1-0.
Mi;u-ist's record now stands at 6-
6-4 overall, and 2-4-1 in conference
play. The team will play its final
two regular season games at home
next weekend. On Friday at 7 p.m.,
Marist will host Rider University,
and on Sunday, Marist will play
Loyola University at 1 p.m.

Volleyball vaults into playoff position with two wins

Despite dropping a set to Loyola
in the first half, the Marist Women's
Volleyball team was able to outrun
the Greyhounds to earn a 3-1 (25-
17, 21-25, 25-13, 25-15) victory Sat-
urday night. The Red Foxes

sweep and move into a playoff posi-
tion in the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference (MAAC) Standings,
with an 8-4 record in conference
play.
Saturday's game started off well
for Marist, who got off to a 14-7 run
and never looked back en route to a
25-17 victory in game one. Loyola
was able to cut the deficit to five at
20-15, but Marist closed out the set
on a 5-2 run to secure the win.
Marist was unable to take a lead
into the locker room as l,oyoJa
evened up the match in set two.
Grace Hill had three consecutive
kills to give the Red Foxes a 5-2
lead, but the set went back and
forth until the match was tied 18-
18. A Loyola kill from Tina
Catanach sparked a 7-3 Loyola run
to ice the match at one a piece head-
ing into the dressing rooms.
"Its been the same deal for us all
year, when we serve and pass the
ball well we're pretty good," Marist
Head Coach Tom Hanna said. 'We
were very good serving the ball in
game one, we were very good pass-
ing, our offense gets to run at a
pretty high efficie•ncy, were pretty
good. Game 2 they passed a little
better, our serving came down a
notch, our passing went down two
or three steps and it just impacts
everything that we're doing. When
we serve and pass well, you saw
what we can do."
Marist came out of the break with
a vengeance, putting up an impres-
sive 25-13 win in the third set. Red-
shirt senior Joanna Foss led the
way with three kills and sophomore
Audra Brady chipped in with four
assists. Set four led to more of the
same for the Red Foxes. Despite a
close start, Marist was able to use a
9-2 run to close out the victory. Sen-
ior Leeann Harridsleffhad four kills
on the set and sophomore Gr-ace Hill
added two. Foss had a team high 11
kills and Hill finished with nine
kills and 11 digs.
'We kept our focus even after los-
ing the second match and kept high
energy throughout," Hill said. "It
was a good positive atmosphere and
we all had the idea of a start of a
winning streak in our heads."
Marist carried the momentum
into Sunday's contest, where it took
down Rider. Marist again started
things off on the right foot by taking
the first set. A back and forth start
to the game saw the score set at 16-
14, but Marist used an 8-0 run to
take command of the set and earn
the victory. Senior Kayla Burton
had a set high 4 kills, including two
in the deciding 8-0 run.
However, just
as
in Saturday's
contest, Marist struggled to take a
lead into halftime. Despite a three
straight
kills
from
Hill
to cut the
score
to
22-21,
Marist was
unable to
overcome a
team effort from the
Broncs, and they entered halftime
tied for the second night in a row.
In what seems like typical Red
Fox fashion Marist came out firing
on all cylinders in the second half.
Marist seized control of a very tight
set with a 5-1 run, capped off by two
kills from Foss, to take a 15-12 lead.
The fourth set consisted of more of
the same, as the two teams fought
very hard in the beginning half of
the set. Once again it was a 5-1 run
from Marist which gave them mo-
mentum, this time putting them
ahead 19-15, a lead which they
would close out for the v.ictQry.
Grace Hill had three of the five kills
on this run, putting her game high
total to 15.
A look ahead sees Marist hosting
Siena next weekend, before hitting
the road with games at the top two
teams in the MAAC in Fairfield and
Niagara, sandwiched around a
game at bottom feeder Canisius. A
successful road trip could solidify a
spot for Marist in the MAAC tour-
nament, which only the league's top
four teams qualify for.
"Our biggest thing is consistency,
win the serve and pass, play at a
high level and for us, when we're
passing well, we're going to ram our
offense down your throat and you're
going to 'have to figure it out,"
Hanna
said. 'When we're doing
that consistently, they can't solve
that problem."
Women's soccer clinches MAAC regular season title
positive moments, and Epstein's
personal favorite was their overtime
win over Loyola University.
"[It] was an amazing game," Ep-
stein said. 'We dominated play and
remained positive the whole time,
leading up to my goal in overtime off
of Sammi Panzer's bicycle kick."
However, one of the added re-
sponsibilities that goes along with
being a member any NCAA team is
the academic responsibilities these
students bear on top of having to be
dedicated to their game. One might
expect that could even make the
transition from high school student-
athlete, to college student-athlete
even more complicated. An AP
scholar with distinction, and mem-
ber of the National Honor Society in
high school, Epstein acknowledged
the challenges of being a student-
athlete at a Division 1 institution.
"It is difficult," Epstein said
.
"But
time management skills from all of
the resources here have really
helped."
Along with being a member of the
National Honor Society in high
school, she was a member of several
different soccer teams. She played
for the Massapequa Storm, and
played for the Long Island Rough-
Riders of the W-League. On her
high school team, she was recog-
nized with "All Class" honors her
freshman year, and progressed to
"All Conference," "All County'' and
"All State" in the years that led to
her arrival at Marist as a freshman
this fall.
As a freshman, Epstein still pos-
sesses the ability to look forward to
the remaining years she has at
Marist and assert what goals she
would like to accomplish before she
graduates. She said her goals, when
looking back at her four years here
are: 'Win the MAAC Champi-
onship, and [become] the first ever
Marist team to make the NCAA
tournament."
Epstein will have the next three
years to progress as a player, and to
work on making the goals she has
set for herself, and the Marist team
as a whole, a reality.
Wee,kend roundup
On Friday, the Red Foxes took de-
feated the Purple Eagles of Niagara,
3-0. The Red Foxes outshot Niagara
29-4 and 13-0 in shots on net. All of
Marist's goals were scored in the
second half. Two of the tallies came
from Samantha Panzner, and one
was scored by Rycke Guiney. Goal-
keeper Caitin Landsman was cred-
ited with the shutout, as she moved
her record as the starter to 6-1.
Three of the team's seniors,
Kathryn Hannis, Mariah Downey
and Amanda Cardona were recog-
nized before the start of the game,
for senior day.
On Sunday the Foxes tied Cani-
sius 2-2. The Marist goals were-
scored by Kathryn Hannis and
Kylee McIntosh. Marist was one
minute and 17 seconds away from
winning their final home game, and
reaching perfection at Tenney Sta-
dium. However, Canisius scored at
that point to bring the score to a 2-
2 draw, at which it finished. The tie
still clinched the regular season
MAAC title for the Foxes.
Guiney was named MAAC offen-
sive player of the week for her five-
point
performance
over
the
weekend.
The

will
travel to
Loudonville, New York on Oct. 29 to

cism."
In the Marist Red Foxes women's
soccer team's run to clinch the
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
regular season title, they received
significant contributions from fresh-
man Amanda Epstein along the
way.
Epstein was MVP of her high
school soccer team in each of the
four years she played at Jericho
High School in New York, and she
currently leads the Red Foxes in
goals with eight. However, despite
the fact that she was an all-state
player in high school, there were
still challenges in transition.
"College soccer was a huge step
up, and it took a lot of hard work,"
Epstein said. "The team is always
competing, so being MVP at home
doesn't come close to playing here.
It has inspired me, though, to be-
come that player again."
Head coach Kate
Lyn
believes
there is a great benefit to having
Epstein perform at this level in her
freshman year.
"Amanda Epstein has been an un-
predictable attacker on our team,"
Lyn said. "I don't think even she an-
ticipated being such an attacking
threat to our opponents."
ASHLEY DAVIS/THE CIRCLE
The Marist women's soccer team clinched the
first
seed
in the MMC Tournament with
a 2-2 draw against canisius on Sunday. Sophomore
Rycke
Guiney
was
name MMC Of-
fensive Player of the Week for her five-point performance over the weekend.
''We are fortunate to have her for
another three years," she said later.
Playing such a significant role as
a freshman has added to Epstein's
role as a leader on the team. A pos-
sibility always exists that a fresh-
man being thrust into a leadership
role on the field could cause
per-
sonal friction among teammates.
However, Epstein recognizes the
contributions of the team leaders.
"The team look!? to me to make an
impact in the attacking third," she
said. "But our captains and coaches
play the most pivotal role in leading
us to where we are today."
Lyn is in her first year with the
team as well, and had high praise
for Epstein.
"Amanda's composure and cre-
ativity on the ball can really throw a
defender off guard," Lyn said. "Most
Lyn also credited Epstein's per-
formance, thus far, to her aware-
ness.
"Amanda is able to think two steps
ahead of the opponent and be in the
right place at the right time," she
said. "I can say without a doubt that
Epstein's
play
raises
Marist
women's soccer to another level."
Epstein believes that Coach Lyn's
philosophies have been one of the
reasons that Marist women's soccer
has been propelled to the level it has
reached this season.
"Our strongest asset is that we are
family,"
Epstein said. "Coach
stresses that the most, and it has
taught us to play as a unit and sup-
port each other."
