Campus drug and alcohol
violation statistics rise
ByANAJEAN HEALY
Circle Contributor
The Office of Safety and Security's
release of the 2010 campus crime sta-
tistics this October shows a steady in-
crease in
liquor
and drug law
violations over the past three years.
The heads of the Safety and Security
and Student Conduct offices attribute
a majority of incident reports to fresh-
men and sophomores.
The number of alcohol violations has
risen from 145 in 2008 to 198 in 2010.
The increase in drug violations
is
even
more
significant,
rising from nine vio-
lations in 2008 to 31 in 2010.
This information
is
released on a
yearly basis as part of the Jeanne
Clery Disclosure of Campus Security
Policy and Campus Crime Statistics
Act
(Clery Act), which requires all col-
leges and universities that participate
in federal financial aid programs to
keep and disclose information about
crime on and near their campuses.
"The Clery Act is a government-
mandated consumer-type bill," said
John Gildard, th~ director of Safety
and Security.
Gildard attributes the increase in
drug and alcohol violations to the
pos-
sible acceptance of underage Q:rinking
at home.
"My personal opinion
is
that people
are a little more tolerant of alcohol use
by people under the age of 21 than
they used to be," Gildard said. "Some
parents now allow their children to
drink at home."
The Clery Act reports crimes that
happen both on campus and in areas
adjacent to school property. However,
while specific details about each vio-
lation are not released to the public,
Gildard said that a large portion of the
violations listed on the report was
committed in underclassmen dorms.
This is mainly because the residents
of these dorms are not of legal
drink-
ing age, unlike most upperclassmen
who are 21 and therefore allowed by
law to consume alcohol.
According to Christine Pupek, the
director of student conduct, Cham-
pagnat, Marian and Midrise halls
have ranked highest in the amount
of
incident reports over the past three
_years.
Pupek said that the constant pres-
ence of authority, such as resident

Darby's throws party 'in the dark' ~or Halloween partygoers
By CLAIRE MOONEY
Circle Contributor
Power outages in the Pough-
keepsie area Saturday, Oct. 29
through Monday, Oct. 31 could
have stopped local hotspot Darby
O'Gill's (also known as "Darby's")
from providing Mari.st students
with a party. Instead, the pub de-
cided to do something different
Halloween night.
Jamie Gervasi, general manager
at Darby's, located near Giggles
on Route 9 in Hyde Park, said
that in addition to serving lunch
and dinner, Darby's is a popular
spot for Mari.st students seeking
night life.
"Everyone wants to come, have a
good time and relax," he said.
The loss of power in the Pough-
keepsie area Halloween weekend
caused Darby's to' cancel its big
event planned for that Saturday,
Oct. 29.
"On Monday night, we brought
in generators and we did some-
thing different ... an 'in the dark
party,"' Gervasi said. Students at-
tended the event and a photogra-
pher from the Poughkeepsie
Journal was there, photographing
party goers.
''We had one spotlight in the
whole place," Gervasi said. "It was
mostly dark instead of one of
those bright crazy nights."
The generators powered coolers,
lighting and the DJ. Gervasi said
that the students attending were
mostly from Mari.st and the Culi-
nary Institute of America, and
there were no incidents despite
the change in the lighting setup.
"[We thought] 'let's just give it a
shot'," Gervasi said. "And it just
worked out."
The nightlife at Darby O'Gill's is
for the 21-and-over crowd only
and features a high-quality sound
system, a safe-ride bus shuttle,
drink specials for students and a
low- or no-cover charge.
"Mari.st has come to us as a des-
tination for something different,"
since the bar and restaurant's
opening six years ago, Gervasi
said. Mari.st students tend to show
up about five to six nights a week,
accordin.g to Gervasi.
Since Darby's was running on
generators, its "in the dark" party
was in no way illegal.

Intoxicated students seek refuge in Donnelly
By
CHRIS RAIA
Staff
Writer
Last week,
it was
brought
to my
realization that my housemates
and
I are impossibly difficult to
live next to. We're awfully loud.
It's
not
as
though we go out and
get
drunk every night, but when
we're just cooking dinner, we're
loud. When we walk down the
stairs,
we're louder. And on the
nights that we do actually go
out and get drunk, we're the
loudest. When my housemates
blast music while they're writ-
ing capping papers, we forget
that our walls are paper thin.
So here it is, girls of X3:
An
offi-
cial apology from my house to
yours. Consider this an olive
branch of peace made out of
words on
a
page.
11/6 - Lower West
Around midnight, a noise complaint
was called in about a house in
Lower West. There was extremely
loud music, so the RD and security
assumed they were about to break
up a party. What did they find in-
stead? A small number of people re-
laxing in the living room, and an
aspiring student DJ practicing his
DJing skills. Didn't the Guitar Hero
people release a DJ Hero video
game last year? You should buy
that.

outside of the Donnelly computer
lab. She was sent to the hospital.
Any
time the phrase
"a
pool of her
own vomit" is used, I'm hesitant to
make a joke because stories like
these frighten me and could poten-
tially
result in very unfunny conse-
quences. So here are two quick
thoughts. First, thank God she was
lying fl!-ce down and not face up. Se-
riously. Se_cond, stories like this are
why I put Donnelly down as a
sleeper pick to win the Security
Briefs Dysfunctional House Cup.
Even though everyone knows secu-
rity is always on duty in that build-
ing, drunk people continue to fall
asleep on the floor. My roommate
has a theory on that. He thinks that
when students get that drunk, their
survival instincts kick in and they
know they'd be safer falling asleep
next to security rather than in their
own beds. Makes sense, right? 25
points.

mate's friend from home, so in order
to get the
full story, I'm going to give
·this
paragraph to him. Marist Col-
lege, meet Ben Bruckenthal. Do you
have that one friend who swears
that he's a "tank," that he has the
ability to consume large quantities
of many different types of alcohol
without losing the ability to make
rational decisions? I do. He came
up this weekend. After funneling
beers down our winding staircase,

Five-year plan works to carry out Marist's mission
By
MIKE QUINN
Circle Contributor
At the beginning of the 2011 fall se-
mester, after a year of discussions,
Marist released its Strategic Plan for
the next five years. This student-cen-
tered plan focuses on making the
process of paying tuition and follow -
ing processes a more enjoyable and
worthwhile experience.
"We have tried to be student-cen-
tered and do the best job for them
while they
are
students here at Mari.st
so
when they leave Marist they can
be
successful in their professional lives,"
Dr. Dennis Murray, president of
Marist College, said.
Morgan
Schiff,
a freshman
,
has sim-
ilar expectations of what students
should receive
.
"[At Marist]
I am looking to gain an
excellent education as well as becom -
ing a more well-rounded individual,
"
she said.
'1
am also hoping
to gain
lasting opportunities to network with
other people."
Dr. Geoffrey Brackett
,
executive vice
pre
s
ident of Mari.st
,
and Murray
From Page One
agree that
if
students were to look at
any part of the Strategic Plan, they
must focus on the mission statement.
Marist's mission statement is to
"h~lp students develop the intellect,
character and skills required for en-
lightened, ethical and productive lives
in the global community of the 21st
century."
"The administration consistently
asksforstudentfeedback,asthey
aim to build a student-centered in-
stitution," Andrew Paulsen, stu-
dent body president, said.
"Every goal and supporting initia-
tive in that plan and everything the
faculty and administration of the col-
lege engage in every day
is
to further
that mission
,
" Brackett said.
The preface of the Strategic Plan,
titled ''Leadership and Innovation for
a Changing World
,
" recognizes that
the world around the college is chang-
ing and that Mari.st must ''balance a
continued commitment to the guiding
principles and traditions that have
contributed to its success with the
need for innovation and change."
''Technology is going
to
change
everything over the next decade,"
Murray said. 'What we have seen
happen to the record industry and the
newspaper industry, I think
is
going
to happen to aspects of higher educa-
tion so we have to be ready."
The Strategic Plan explains how
Mari.st is
focused
on improving and
developing programs on campus but
is
still concerned about student
_
finan-
cials. One initiative
is
to "develop new
pricing models responsive to student
ability
to
pay." The Strategic Plan is
just the newest way Marist
is
helping
students.
''The administration consistently
asks for student feedback., as they
aim
to build a student-centered institu-
tion." Andrew Paulsen, student
body
president, said.
In order to produce the strategic
plan, Murray formed a 40-person
Steering Committee in May 2010,
representing different departments
.
The group met and formed subcom-
mittees with other members of the col-
.
lege.
Paulsen's predecessor, Matthew Lu-
brano, played a major role in repre-
senting the student body when the
plan was being "discussed and pub-
lished.
''There literally were hundreds of
people that had a chance to have their
say in this," Murray said.
The
Strategic
Plan
will
also benefit
professors.
''The Strategic Plan has a huge im-
pact on everyone, every phase, and
every level of the college," Dr. Daniel
Cochece Davis, communication pro-
fessor at Mari.st, said. 'When you're
designing your courses you probably
should be looking at the Strategic
Plan to see
if
it
is
enacting the Strate-
gic Plan or not."
'This
is
not a plan that
will
sit on the
shelf for the next five years," Brackett
said. ''It is a living document that con-
tinues to guide the administration's
priorities."
'1'm optimistic for the future of
Mari.st
,
" Murray said.
'1
think the
next
10
years might be the best
years
.
"
Campus crime numbers increase from 2008 to 2010
freshmen and sophomore dorms is a
main reason for the amount of write-
ups. Over the last few years these fig-
ures of authority have become better
trained at catching students who vio-
late the school's drinking and drug
policies.
Anthony Izzo, the former resident
director for both
Leo
and Sheahan
halls, said that in his two and a half
years working in a freshmen resi-
dence
hall,
the majority of judicial re-
ports that came across his desk were
drug- and alcohol-related. Most were
due to residents getting caught for
"pregaming'
in their rooms.
Izzo attributes alcohol abuse in the
dorms to a combination of causes.
'1
think peer pressure along with
students believing in a false sense of
RYAN RIVARD/™E CIRCLE
RYAN RIVARD/™E CIRCLE
independence are two of the leading
reasons
,
" Izzo said.
Pupek also cites peer pressure or the
need to belong as ways to explain the
increase in drug violations on campus.
"Most of the students caught for
drug violations (most commonly mar-
ijuana) feel like a fish out of water
when they
come
to college ... they are
worried about making friends," she
said. ''They may see a group of people
smoking and ask to join and find that
pot is a way
to
relate to the group."
Pupek said the increasing freshmen
class size
is
the most logical reason for
the increase in violations.
"In
the five years that I've been here
more and more students are ac-
cepted," she said.

Lets not emulate t
e
Denmark diet tax
Lady
in
Red
By
MICHAEL GAROFALO
Features Editor
Would you support a tax on people
who celebrate the "wrong" religion?
How about a tax on people who are
attracted to. the "wrong'' sex?
A tax on these aspects of our per-
sonal lifestyles would be viewed
with contempt in our society, be-
cause, in a free society, govern-
ments cannot deem such decisions
to be wrong. Free people make their
own decisions.
Although neither one of these is-
sues is currently up for taxation,
perhaps it takes a wake-up call to
realize just how invasive govern-
ment regulations can be.
Earlier this month, the Danish
government passed a tax on fatty
foods. The BBC reported that the
tax applies to food with 2.3 percent
or greater saturated fat content.
The stated goal is of course health-
driven, but the means are discrimi-
natory. Danes who enjoy or benefit
people can do well with fattier foods.
Ectomorphs with fast metabolisms
actually benefit from a high-calorie
diet. Saturated fats can't be directly
correlated to an unhealthy lifestyle.
Look back at the two tax satires
above about religion and sexuality.
Aside from their glaring discrimina-
tion, you may have noticed that a
tax on people sounds unrealistic.
Governments don't tax people -
they tax goods or service, right?
One economist, now deceased,
would disagree.
Economist Milton Friedman once
argued that taxes on businesses
cannot possibly exist without some-
one paying the bill.
''There is no 'business' to be taxed,"
he said. "There are people. Only
people can pay taxes. Can I tax this
floor? Can I tax the building? The
building can't pay taxes. Only peo-
ple can pay taxes."
In the case of Denmark, the tax is
not on fatty foods themselves, but
on people who consume them.
Junk food undoubtedly expands your waistline, and that may be price enough to pay.
from fatty foods now have to pay
more for their groceries.
It probably doesn't matter
to
the
politicians in Denmark that some
Those who endorse such a tax are
effectively judging citizens' choices
and charge them money for it. In-
stead of defending individual free-
dom, policymakers try to impose
their
will
of ideal health on the pub-
lic, all under the guise ofleading the
collective public in the right direc-
tion.
Think about that for a second,
and apply it to taxes on tobacco
products or supposedly unhealthy
foods. Taxes don't apply to products.
Taxes apply to people who use those
products.
But the idea is not entirely for-
eign to the U.S.
San Francisco Supervisor Eric
Mar won Reason TV's "Nanny of the
Month" award in October 2010 for
banning toys from fast food restau-
rants in his city.
'We intend to look at other issues
of holding restaurants, corpora-
tions, also our governments ac-
countable for the health of our
children," he said.
Even
if
the toys provide an incen-
tive for children to eat greasy foods,
it's up to the parents to choose to
purchase them or not. Healthy al-
ternatives are available, but not at
the expense of controlling how pri-
vate businesses operate; this only
eliminates choices for consumers.
The problem is that it is hard for cit-
izens to take a passionate stance
against regulatory measures until
their lifestyles are the ones up for
debate.
Freedom is safe when citizens are
allowed to make potentially bad de-
cisions that can only harm them-
selves. The consumption of fatty
foods on a regular basis may be un-
healthy, but how much is
too
much?
Individuals must make this decision
for themselves.
When voters and policymakers
use the law as a vehicle to make
lifestyle choices for other people, the
result is tyranny by majority.
If better health is the goal, exer-
cise, education about nutrition, and
market-driven food choices are all
liberty-preserving options.

Kim Kardashian is no
longer
a
committed airhead! This hopeless
romantic, millionaire shockingly
split from her husband Kris
Humphries after their 72-day whirl-
wind marriage, and is filing for di-
vorce.
While this topic of conversation
was something from which I tried to
detach myself, I've
become
heatedly
opinionated. As someone who does-
n't pay a lot of attention to celebrity
gossip, I tuned into conversations
and realized that the marriage and
divorce, while definitely unimpor-
tant in the sense that the Kardashi-
ans are unimportant, need to be
addressed for economical and social
reasons.
The couple married on Aug. 20,
2011, and while I wasn't fortunate
enough
to
catch it, the Kardashians
made sure we kept up with the wed-
ding plans and the overblown event
itself. We heard about the 20 1/2
carat, $2 million engagement ring,
and we watched Kardashian select
her three wedding dresses. On the
wedding special, viewers watched
the value of the Kardashian-
Humphries wedding grow to $10
million - when you're adding ex-
travagancies like giving heart-
shaped
donuts
to
each
limousine-rider, the bill will curi-
ously escalate. While true love is
supposedly priceless, these numbers
insult starving college students
around the world, not to mention
kids who cannot afford college at all
or those minor starving crises in
Africa.
If this isn't enough, Kardashian
was reportedly paid to marry
Humphries. While she denies this,
she did receive taxable income for
filming and photo ops for her wed-
ding. On his segment ''The Ridi-
cuList," Anderson Cooper had some
sly commentary on the subject.
"How can you not support a cou-
ple whose two-day televised wed-
ding on the E! network cost a
reported
$10 million marriage and
was subsizided by sponsors?"
Cooper said. "Um, correct me
if
I'm
wrong, but I believe that is called
The American Dream. By the way,
that shakes out to about $138,000
per day of marriage."
He also had something to say
about the Kardashian family.
''The Kardashians are serious
people," Cooper said, "who, contrary
to popular belief, do, indeed have
discernable talent.

and touchy topic.

in the Kardashian family
For instance, they
-
they make the,
um, the, uh .... Well there was the
time that they did the thing
...
um."
And finally, the elephant in tlie
room:
While Kardashian and
Humphries have the law-given
privilege to end a marriage more
shallow than a Foy shower, gay
marriage has not been legalized in
most states. This issue alone
sparked a ton of tweets from other
celebrities.
The Gossip Go-to him-
self, Perez Hilton, expressed dis-
dain on the divorce.
"I
love
@KimK.ardashian,
but as
a gay man in America who is treat-
ed as a second class citizen when it
comes to civil m
_
arriage, I am
offended!.
..
Straight people do a
damn well good job themselves of
ruining the sanctity of marriage!"
said Hilton.
Even Jenni "JWoww" Farley
tweeted for the cause.
''My
best friend joey and his man
have been together 6 years and
can't get married but ... Well u know
where I'm going with this," Farley
said.
The
argument
goes both ways,
though. Writer Karin Klien from
the "Los
Angeles Times"
stated
that "this argument doesn't wash
and does
no
good
to
advance the
cause."
"The
reason
to support same-sex
marriage isn't about whether such
couples will
form
better
households
or stay together longer. It's that
marriage is a basic civil right,"
Klien said.
While Klien makes a good point
- everybody should have
·
the right
to get married and stay married as
long as they please - I think that
the Kardashian-Humphries couple
insults the institution of marriage,
not in the respect that they are fil-
ing for divorce, but because it's evi-
dent that neither saw it as a mar-
riage. The union was a televised,
money-making,
Barbie-and-Ken
wedding. Every couple deserves the
right to end their marriage; this
couple
insults love-motivated gay
couples who deserve the right to
marry.
Kardashian hasn't said much
about the split, but has commented
on her motivation for televising the
wedding.
"I think when you live your life
so publicly on a show, people want
it, they want to see it.
H
I hadn't've
filmed my wedding, that would've
been upsetting to the viewer that's
gone through this life journey with
me. That was a tough decision that
we decided to film
it,"
Kardashian
said,
according to http://CNN.com.
I'm
sure
it tore
her apart.

When parking on campus becomes perlious
DOMINIC/FLICKR
Parking in abandoned lots poses problems for skiddish students.
By
LESLIE BROWN
Circle Contributor
Let's be honest, 3 a.m. is not the
time nor place to be meand~ring
around an empty parking lot in
Poughkeepsie. Marist property or
not, parking behind a questionable
grounds-keeping building off of
West Cedar Street and walking
home is not ideal. This, of course, is
the fate for any Upper West resi-
dent who isn't in for the night by 9
p.m. and is forced to park on
Terminal Road. Sadly, the lack of
parking is a timeless Marist issue
spanning the grades that has yet to
be resolved. After witnessing
countless $25 fees and sounding
decidedly worn-out, it's about time
someone calls attention to the
issue.
In theory, there is
.
every reason
for Marist to have assigned parking
lots. I must admit, there are many
times when this has come to my
advantage. A number three sticker
ensures me Lot 3 parking without
having to fight off the countless
other Upper West and Fulton resi-
dents who registered too late
-
and
were assigned the unfortunate
McCann lot. I'm also aware the lots
are on a "first come, first served"
basis, and I have no problem walk-
ing a bit to get home. I do, however,
take issue with the fact that my
only late-night option is to park at
a deserted lot behind some random
buildings. With the budget to land-
scape the hell out of the new tun-
nel's surrounding hills, buy and
tear down the asbestos-ridden
buildiJ;).g next to tp.e Steel Plant, as
well as an entire house in the Beck
parking lot, Marist can't tack on a
few more buildings for demolition?
If
you're still confused on what I'm
ranting about, there are several
moderately-used buildings between
Upper West and Lower West hous-
ing that would not only make room
for some much-needed parking, but
would even leave space to add on
additional housing. Yet, this poten-
tial gold mine remains untouched.
After questioning a security guard
several weeks ago, I learned that
Marist may have similar plans in
"the future" - however long that
means.
Insufficient parking is not only a
problem for the Upper and Lower.
West Townhouses. Midrise resi-
dents being assigned to the Hoop
lot is beyond me, leaving students
to ask, "Why even bother bringing
your car?"
H
anything, one would
assume that Marist would want
more registered cars on campus so
they can rack up the ticket fees
they're bound to dole out. Still, the
bulk of my parking frustration is
focused around the various build-
ing-assigned lots. I understand,
during the day teachers need a
place to park and have priority -
whatever. There are
constantly
empty spaces in the lot just below
Fontaine. In fact, there has not
been a single time in my 2 1/2
years that I have seen Lot 14 full.
Even worse, late afternoon and
evening parking should be open to
anyone. The majority of the time,
lots are nearly empty after 6 p.m.,
and there's no way I'm walking to
night class in the winter.
Maybe I'm being greedy, or maybe
I'm frustrated that when I pay
around
·
$41,000 a year for tuition
and housing, but I think I should be
entitled to park in more than three
of Marist's 22 parking lots.
While the solution for this prob-
lem means that Marist needs to
buy more land, I'm sure they're not
hurting for money.
If
they can
afford to pay Security to wander
campus or sit and talk to each other
all night, it doesn't seem like
investing in some more land should
be too much of a problem.
If
park-
ing regulations were updated,
Marist could ease the minds of cur-
rent students while creating anoth-
er positive selling point for poten-
tial incoming students.

Women's bas etball loo
ByZACH DOOLEY
Staff Writer
The Marist women's basketball
team is back with a vengeance fol-
lowing a 31-3 season which culmi-
nated in a second-round exit from
the NCAA Tournament. Marist lost
two key members of the team to
graduation, but returns two of its
starters from a year ago, including
MAAC Preseason Player of the Year
Corielle Yarde. Marist is once again
picked to finish first in the MAAC,
which comes as no surprise, coming
off of six straight MAAC champi-
onships.
"I think I'd rather be the one being
chased, rather than the one chasing
somebody else; it doesn't bother me
at all," Marist head coach Brian
Giorgis said. ''Preseason stuff really
doesn't mean much; it's just a start-
ing point to some people."
In
the offseason, Marist saw the
departure of three starters, losing
Erica Allenspach and Elise Caron to
graduation, as well as backup cen-
ter Maria Laterza. The blindside
hit, however, came from forward
Kate Oliver, who announced during
the offseason that she would be
transferring to USC for the remain-
der of her college career. Regard-
less, Marist has two starters
returning, as well as several key re-
serves from last year'"s team.
Leading the Red Foxes this year
is senior guard Corielle Yarde.
Yarde has started for Marist for the
past two seasons, but has been
somewhat in the shadows of All-Met
Players of the year Rachele Fitz and
Erica Allenspach.
Both players
have since graduated and this is
now Yarde's team offensively.
''There's definitely some pressure
there, but with the team that we
have, we mesh together really well,"
Yarde said.
"I think that's going to
help us this season."
Yarde has been named MAAC
Preseason Player of the Year, and
has also received a nomination for
the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.
The award recognizes excellence in
community, character, classroom
and competition, and singles out
only 30 student-athletes from
around the country.
''It really means a lot it's a great
honor to be nominated for some-
thing like that. I know there's a ton
of athletes, but I'm just honored,"
Yarde said.
Another key member of this year's
team is senior forward Brandy
Gang, who finished third last sea-
son for the Red Foxes in points, and
was named Third Team All-MAAC.
Gang recently received a Second
Team All-MAAC preseason honor,
and as a senior is expecting a big
year from herself.
''I plan on being more aggressive
and not def erring to anyone as
[Coach Giorgia] would always say,
so it should be a good season," Gang
said. ''There's definitely going to be
a little more pressure, but I just
need to stay focused and do what I
have to do."
Marist will be a very deep team as
always, returning eight other play-
ers from last yea
_
r's team. Two play-
ers expected to have a big impact
early on this season are senior
guard Kristine Best and sophomore
guard Leanne Ockenden. Both saw
action in all 34 games last season,
and will be looked at to provide big
minutes alongside Yarde and Gang.
Kelsey Beynnon and Emma
O'Connor will look to solidify the
forward positions, both coming off of
seasons as key bench players. Both
bring a combination of size and skill
which will help a Marist front line
that took a big hit with the loss of
Oliver, and will possibly be in a bat-
tle amongst themselves for a spot
alongside Gang in the starting five.
Regardless of who starts, both
should see key minutes this season.
Also returning this season for
Marist is sophomore guard Casey
Dulin, who could see an expanded
role this year, with the loss of two
starting guards. Dulin came in very
highly touted as a freshman and put
in a very strong performance in the
Red-White scrimmage earlier this
month. She should expect to see
more minutes handed her way this
season.
Senior forward Emily Stallings
was also a regular in the rotation
last season and should continue to
see minutes as she provides strong
rebounding and lea~rship. Round-
ing out the returners are junior
guard Suzette Garnett and senior
guard Caroline Feeley, who com-
plete a very deep bench and will
provide valuable minutes when
called upon.
One huge addition who will pro-
vide an· impact is junior forward
Kristina Danella, who is eligible to
play this season after serving her
one year in residency following her
transfer from UM ass. Daniella put
up a team high (unofficial) 22
points, as well as 10 rebounds in the
intra-squad scrimmage, giving fans
a glimpse of what she can bring to
the court.
Freshmen Natalie Gomez and Bri-
ana Holmes also made their first
appearances as Red Foxes in the
Red-White Scrimmage, both seeing
time at point guard and shooting
guard. Neither freshman looked out
of place, and both should provide
depth at guard this season for
Marist. Freshman guard Maggie
Gallagher did not see as much time
in the scrimmage, but will look to
provide depth minutes off the bench
as well.
Rounding out this year's squad is
sophomore center Tori Jarosz, who
transferred in from Vanderbilt.
Jarosz is sitting out this season,
serving the mandatory year off as a
transfer student, and will factor in
to the rotation in the 2012-2013 sea-
son.
"I don't want to say I expect, but
I'm hoping that all 11 players play
better than they did last year," Gior-
gis said. "We have Kristina Danella

of
the Year Corielle Yarde will lead Marist's charge towards a
seventh straight MAAC title. The senior scored 11.8 PPG last season, to go along with
5.6 rebounds per game and 2.6 assists per game. Yarde is also nominated for the
Lowe's Senior CLASS
Award,

of

and the two freshmen, but we hope
everyone else plays better than they
did last year, shows growth and
.shows improvement and hopefully
our seniors
will help lead us
to
an-
other championship."
When analyzing Marist's schedule
for the upcoming season, you can
look no further than opening night,
where Big East foe Villanova trav-
els to Poughkeepsie for a big early
season matchup. Marist defeated
Villanova last season, and hopes to
do so again at home. This game
marks the opening of the new Mc-
Cann Arena for basketball pur-
poses, where several new features
will be unveiled.
"Its really fun playing here," Gior-
gis said. "Obviously it's a really
dif.
ficult first test. You normally like
your first test to be not as difficult,
but it's a real tough first test.
They're a real veteran team, and
they're going to be looking for re-
venge, because we beat them by 12
at their place last year. This year
they've got most of their people back
plus two kids who sat out last year,
one of whom is their best player this
year from what I'm hearing."
"I really like playing the big con-
ference team's and I try to step it up
as much as I can," Yarde said. "I
know that the teams needs it, and
it's just some kind of internal moti-
vation for me when it's a bigger op-
ponent."
From there, the Lady Foxes con-
tinue with a tough non-conference
slate headlined by Auburn and
Kansas State, with the matchup
against the Wildcats taking place in
Poughkeepsie.
As
important as
these games can qe, however, it all
comes downto the conference. De-
spite receiving votes nationally and
being the favorite, Giorgia said the
MAAC is by no means a pushover,
and is the number one priority for
his team.
"To be honest with you, I don't
worry about it. I don't think about
it, it's preseason," Giorgia said. "A
lot of the stuff that's done now is
based on last year's stuff to a de-
. gree. You know we have our job
right now, which is to get ourselves
ready, and we've done very well in
two scrimmages against ranked
teams, St. John's and Rutgers, we
did extremely well in both of them
and that's a good starting point to
see where we are going into Vil-
lanova, but it's all about getting
ready for MAAC's, going
to
MAAC's,
and doing well in a three game set
hopefully."

in since he's been here. He's leaner,
Sports Editor
more athletic, he's tougher. I think
For Chuck Martin and the 2011-
2012 Marist men's basketball team,
this season could be now or never.
In
the last two seasons, the Red
Foxes have won a combined seven
games, four of which were against
MAAC teams.
If
head coach Chuck
Martin, now in his fourth season in
Poughkeepsie, wants a job next
year, they're going to have to do bet-
ter than that.
''That's really not crossed my
mind," Martin said on potentially
being on the hot seat. "I think that's
for fans, I thirik that's for bloggers,
and for guys in the media to talk
about on Monday morning. I'm a
confident guy, I've always been a
confident guy. Certainly we've run
into some issues here since I've got-
ten the job, but I'm not one of those
guys. I've got a good staff, I've got a
good group of kids who I like."
In this year's MAAC preseason
poll, Marist was selected to finish
dead-last in the conference for the
third straight year. No Marist play-
ers were named to the all-confer-
ence first, second or third teams.
There is good news for Martin and
the Red Foxes, though - this year's
squad is the deepest, and maybe the
most talented, team he's had at
Marist.
The team is looking up despite los-
ing Sam Prescott and Candon
Rusin, the top- and third-highest
scorers, respectively, on last year's
team, to transfer.
"I like the group that we have,"
Martin said. "Any time someone
leaves, for whatever reason, I don't
feel like you're missing them be-
cause they've moved on to a differ-
ent part of their lives. I wish those
guys the best, they're good kids, but
I am happy with the kids I do have."
R.J. Hall is the lone scholarship
senior on the team. The 5 foot-10
inch guard has had issues with aca-
demic eligibility the past two years,
but Martin is looking for big things
from the veteran.
"I'm excited about R.J., he's gotten
off to a really good start," Martin
said He's got a chance to lead this
team and do some really nice
things. He certainly has the ability
on the court, and I think he's
learned from past mistakes."
Hall, who averaged 9.2 points in
his 19 games last season, also has
high expectations going into the
season.
''This is the best team I've been a
part of," Hall said.
Dorvell Carter and Devin Price
are the teams' juniors, Carter being
a redshirt, and are potentially part
of the starting lineup that is yet to
be announced.
Carter, a 6 foot-6 inch forward out
of the Bronx, has a well-rounded
game that Martin expects to see a
lot more of this year.
"He's physically come a long way,"
Martin said of Carter. "He's gotten
his body in the best shape he's been
he's got a chance to have a breakout
year as a junior."
Carter has had to develop into
more of a leader, and he shares the
team's excitement about the upcom-
ing season.
''This year's team is different from
last year's team," Carter said.
''We've got a lot more depth, a lot
more athleticism, we have multiple
players that can play different posi-
tions. I look forward to having a
good year this year."
Martin sees the 2011-2012 cam-
paign as a chance for Price to break
out as well.
"Last year and his freshman year
he struggled physically, he just was-
n't big enough," Martin said. But
now it's amazing how good he looks"
Price averaged 7.2 points per game
last season and led the team in as-
sists with 75.
Anell Alexis is a redshirt sopho-
more who scored an unofficial 25
points in 30 minutes of play at the
Red-White Scrimmage. Alexis could
be a key factor if the Red Foxes are
going to succeed.
"Anell is as talented as anyone
we've had in the program," Martin
said. "I'm expecting big things from
him. He has to be more consistent in
his performance and his prepara-
tion.
If
he does that, he's going to
help us win some games this year."
Several players, including Price,
Carter and sophomores Jay Bowie
and Pieter Prinsloo have clearly
bulked up over the offseason.
"Jay Bowie looks like he should be
playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers,"
Martin said of the 6 foot-5 inch for-
ward. "He's a heck of a player, he's a
guy with a chance to be an all-con-
ference player someday."
Fellow sophomore Adam Kemp, a
6 foot-10 inch forward/center, will
be looking to make it through the
season injury-free. Bothered last
year by a broken hand, Kemp is a
player who can make some noise in
the paint ifhe stays healthy. Carter
said that having him back will be
huge for the team.
"He's going to help us in a lot of
games this year," Carter said. Kemp
averaged 5.3 points, 6.3 rebounds
and 1.6 blocks in
is
games last sea-
son.
"Adam Kemp has a chance to be
one of the better big guys in the
league, hands-down," Martin added
on Sherrill, N. Y. native.
Bowie was the only Red Fox to
start all 33 games last season. As a
freshman he averaged 6.4 pQints, so
continued improvement from him
will be important for Marist.
Pieter Prinsloo rounds out
Marist's sophomore class. The
South African native saw limited
playing time as a freshman, but
Martin sees the 6 foot-10 inch for-
ward having an increased role this
season.
"Pieter's going to be a good
player," Martin said. "There are

MCCTA's 'The Wedding Singer' is a musical comedy ~it
By
MICHAEL GAROFALO
Features Editor
Students who expected a replica-
tion of the 1998 film, ''The Wedding
Singer" would not have found that
this past weekend in the Nelly Go-
letti Theatre. Instead, the Marist-
College Council on Theatre Arts
changed
the playlist, adjusted the
characters and most lines were
sung.
Storm Heitman, who played the
main character Robbie Hart, said
that his character is a little differ-
ent from Adam Sandler's. He de-
scribed his own version of Robbie as
a little
"dorky."
Heitman said he enjoyed some of
the playlist changes, including "Ca-
sualty
of Love," which replaced
''Love Stinks" from the original. He
said that
"Saturday
Night in the
City" got the entire cast involved.
Most of the performance was done
as a musical, although there was
some
spoken
dialogue.
The musicai format was not some-
thing that Nick Bitetto was really
used
to.
"I don't really sing, I just love act-
ing," he said.
But this did not deter him from
participating; Bitetto sang anyway.
He played a few different charac-
ters throughout the musical, includ-
ing best man at a wedding and
Robbie's grandfather. In one of the
final scenes, he played Rambo, re-
placing the role of Mr. T in the
.
.
movie version.
''I
kind of wanted to put a little
dif-
ferent spin on it," he said.
Bitetto said that Sylvester Stal-
lone's Rambo was a good fit with his
own Italian background.
There were some other changes as
well, including minor

changes. The last scene taltes place
at a Las Vegas wedding ceremony
instead of on a plane.
The main plot remained the same:
Wedding singer Robbie Hart's bride
does not show up to their wedding.
Hart is jaded and bitter, but even-
tually recovers and declares his
newly found love for waitress Julia
just before she marries Glen - a
wealthy stock trader who proudly
cheats on her.
The musical was full of 80s refer-
ences, some of which may have been
missed by younger audience mem-
bers, according to one professor in
attendance.
When the 2 p.m. show ended on
Saturday around 4:30 p.m.,- cast
members had just a few hours to
gear up and prepare for their 8 p.m,
showing.
Heitman said that they had been
preparing with four-hour rehearsals
for about two months prior to the
show. Still, the biggest challenge for
him personally was
"keeping
a
straight face, especially the
'sexing
me up' scenes."
Mariam Oalleja, who played
Julia's friend and co-worker Holly,
said that this was one of the best
performances she has been involved
in throughout her entire career.
"It's definitely a family," she said,
in reference to the MCCTA cast.
"It's a good way to send myself off
my senior year."
Audience members seemed to
enjoy the show as much as the cast
did. The cheers, clapping and stand-
ing ovation indicated that the show
was a success.
"I thought it was a really fun and
upbeat show," senior Taylor Crich-
ton said. "All the music was really
exciting. I think they did a really
good job with it."
Coldplay's fifth studio album, 'Mylo Xyloto,' debuts at No.1
By
MELANIE LAMORTE
A&E Editor
It's been three long years since
rock-gods
Coldplay released their
last
studio
album, but it seems they
haven't been forgotten.
Their
newest,
"Mylo
Xyloto," which was
released worldwide on Oct. 24, sold
more than 447,000 copies in its first
week, making it the third highest
US Billboard 200 debut of 2011.
Coldplay's last two studio albums,
''Viva la Vida" (2008) and "X& Y"
(2005), also debuted at No.
I
on the
US Billboard 200 charts, so fans
may have high expectations from
the band's newest. While some may
criticize Coldplay for stepping away
from their signature sound a bit,
''Mylo Xyloto" is a solid collection of
memorable tracks.
For the most part, many of the
classic Coldplay elements are pres-
ent in ''Mylo Xyloto:" frontman
Chris Martin's signature falsettos,
triumphant, anthem-like segments,
beautiful melodies, etc. The only
thing missing from the album
seems to be the barrage of catchy,
radio-ready hits, but most fans will
find plenty to love.
Two of the album's strongest
tracks,
"Paradise"
and
"Every
Teardrop is a Waterfall," have al-
ready hit radio airwaves as the first
two singles. Wonderfully captivat-
ing crowd-pleasers, both singles
have received generally positive
critical acclaim. The tracks are
probably the most reminiscent of
the band's previous work, perfectly
catchy without being annoying.
Another highlight on ''Mylo Xy-
loto" is "Hurts Like Heaven," an up-
beat, dancey tune that sounds a bit
like Arcade Fire. Martin sings, "See
the arrow that they shot, trying to
tear us apart/Fire from my belly
and the beat from my heart/Still I
won't let go/Still I won't let go." It's
a youthful anthem that grooves and
moves. Who knew you would ever
want to bust a move to a Coldplay
song?
"Princess of China (featuring Ri-
hanna)" is one of the album's dark-
est tracks, but it's great. Some die-
hard Coldplay fans may cringe to
hear that the pop-queen, Rihanna,
is featured on this track, but it's
sure to be a radio
sensation.
The
track integrates classic Coldplay
sound so perfectly with Rihanna's
voice that it certainly doesn't lack
quality or depth. "I could've been a
Princess, You'd be a king/Could've
had a castle, and wore a ring," sings
Rihanna. The fairy tale theme of the
track lacks any Taylor Swift cheesi-
ness, and instead remains serious
and powerful throughout.
Yet another high point on ''Mylo
~yloto" is ''Us Against the World."
While some of Coldplay's slower
songs can be a bit boring. ''Us
Against the
World,"
is soft but
sweetly tuneful without putting lis-
teners to sleep, much like ''Till
Kingdom Come" from
''X& Y."
While most of the album rocks, the
acoustic ''UFO" is a bit bland, as is
''Up in Flames." Though not total
failures, they lack the punch that

YEU
Cold play released their fifth studio
album at the end of October.
"Mylo Xy-
loto" debuted at No.1 on the Billboard
200 list.
fans may expect from Coldplay.
Even the album's final track,
·"Up
With the Birds" is a weak ending to
a mostly exciting album.
With its instant commercial suc-
cess, there's no doubt that ''Mylo Xy-
loto" has what Coldplay fans want.
This fifth album shows the band's
musical growth and depth.

Gipson touts small business growth, campaign reform for N.Y.
By
MICHAEL GAROFALO
Features Editor
Terry Gipson is a business owner
and member of the Rhinebeck Vil-
lage Board of Trustees, but he
wants to be the next senator of the
41st district.
"I believe that small business is
really the key to solving the jobs cri-
sis in New York State and especially
in the Mid-Hudson valley area,
which I'm running in," Gipson,
Democratic party candidate, said.
Gipson has 20 years of experience
in design. He currently owns and
operates Gipson Design Group Inc.
out of Rhinebeck, about 15 miles
north of campus.
"The biggest obstacle right now for
small business owners is the exorbi-
tant amount of trucing," Gipson said.
He cited high property taxes as
one factor that increases the cost of
running a business.
One of Gipson's job plans is a gov-
ernment fund for new small busi-
nesses. The fund would allocate
money to help pay for a percentage
of employees' pay for the first two or
three years, he suggested about 20
percent as a possible figure. Busi-
nesses would have to comply with
certain rules, such as being required
to hire local employees
.
The immediate concern with
allo-
cating tax dollars to small busi-
nesses is the possibility of their
failure. A similar situation occurred
in the past with green company
Solyndra's bankruptcy. Gipson said
that any policy has the potential to
fail, but if enough businesses suc-
ceed, there will still be a net gain.
"Giving a company a tax incentive
is also a failure," he said. ''You're
giving them a tax br~ak, which
means you are denying the state 'x'
amount of revenue that you're not
going to be getting from that com-
pany, and in return you're hoping
that company will be successful and
hire a lot of people and create jobs,
and that will ultimately help make
up for the lack of revenue."
If
a business failed after receiving
a tax break, there would be a loss of
revenue and still no new jobs, he
said.
Gipson said that starting a small
business is challenging with limited
capital, so businesses benefit from
help early on, as opposed to possible
tax incentives that they may never
reach.
''You pay taxes on a profit.
If
you're not making a profit, then a
tax incentive doesn't really do you
any good," he said.
Gipson believes that the money to
fund this program can be found by
cutting government waste.
Governor Cuomo's office estimated
in an Oct. 12 press release that $600
million can be cut in New York over
five years.
The press release lists these spe-
cific areas for cutting: ''Transform-
ing the procurement process by
harnessing the state's full buying
power to reduce costs, eliminating
costly
empty space
leased
hy:
the
state, modernizing information
technology systems, improving cus-
tomer service, and streamlining
business services."
The entire press release can be
found at the governor's website:
http://www.governor.ny.gov/press/1
012201llmproveGovernmentEffi-
ciency.
•
"Let's not cut the money; let's di-
vert the money to a program like
we're talking about: a small busi-
ness creation program," Gipson
said.
In addition to his views on eco-
nomics, Gipson discussed his ideas
on campaign reform.
·
"[Albany] is essentially a big giant
casino where, really, the people who
have the money to pay, who have
the money to invest, are the people
that get the most attention," he
said.
Because Gipson is relatively new
to politics - having held only one po-
sition on the Rhinebeck Village
Board of Trustees - he said that he
has no obligations to any lobbyist.
At the same time, he acknowledged
that it takes a lot of money to be-
come elected in the first place, and
said he would look with caution at
potential campaign donors.
But the casino format that he kept
referring to essentially forces candi-
dates to engage in an arms race for
campaign funds. That is why he is a
proponent of a policy in which can-
didates are publicly funded with the
same amount of money. The only
other alternative that Gipson would
support is a cap on the overall
amount of money any one candidate
can raise-
,
as well as the amount one
contributor can give.
This very
wru.e
flooded news out-
lets in early 2010 in Citizens United
v. Federal Election Commission,
when the Supreme Court held that
laws limiting campaign contribu-
tions violate the First Amendment.
More information about the case
can be found on http://supreme-
court.gov.
But Gipson sees some inequality
in current policies. He said that un-

restricted donations from one per-
son or group too often causes a ten-
dency for candidates to reciprocate
.
It
also places disproportionate focus
on wealthier voters, he said.
''Your representatives, who are
supposed to be up there working for
you every day, are spending a big
part of their time raising money," he
said.
Among other topics, Gipson spoke
on the importance of redistricting
based upon natural terrain and pop-
ulation, and his disapproval of hy-
drofracking.
Republican Senator Stephen M.
Saland is currently the representa-
tive for the 41st district. The New
York State Senate election is not
until November 2012, and it is too
early for the Republican Party to
announce a candidate. The Circle
intends to speak with Saland to rep-
resent his perspective to readers,
but not to implicate his candidacy in
the 2012 campaign.
Red Watch Program tea·ches skills to save lives
By
BRITTANY OXLEY
Circle Contributor
In 2008, a Northwestern Univer-
sity freshman student named
Matthew Sunshine drank seventeen
shots of vodka within one hour dur-
ing a drinking contest in another
student's dorm room.
According to Fox News, other stu-
dents who were with him that night
claimed that he had not yet passed
out after the large consumption of
alcohol, but was close to it. They
laid him down on a couch to rest,
while other students thought it
would be humorous to draw on him.
Little did the students know that as
they were drawing on him, Matthew
Sunshine was slowly dying of alco-
hol poisoning.
Matthew Sunshine is not the only
college student who has died from
alcohol poisoning. According to
http://www.collegedrinkingpreven -
tion.gov, which reports alcohol in-
jury
statistics
at
colleges
nationwide, in 2005 about 1,825 col-
lege students died from alcohol-re-
lated injuries and 599,000 college
students were injured due to alco-
hol-related incidents. These 2005
figures have been increasing since
1998, according to a 2009 National
Institutes of Health press release,
along with the percentage of stu-
dents who admit to driving after
consuming alcohol.
Marist College is no exception to
these statistics. On Aug. 6, 2011,
Edward Coombs, a 19-year-old
lacrosse player attending Marist
College, died due to a fatal car acci-
dent in which the driver was intox-
icated.
In
2008, Sunshine's mother, Dr.
Suzanne Fields from Stony Brook
University, created the Red Watch
Band program to make students
more aware of the consequences
that can arise from drinking too
much alcohol at one time.
The Red Watch Band program
now takes place at Marist College
as well.
It
is one of the first pro-
grams to train participants how to
save a person's life when he or she is
in danger of alcohol poisoning.
The symbol of the program is a red
wristwatch band. The red color of
the watch matches the school colors
of both Stony Brook University and
Marist College. The watchband
symbolizes that students who wit-
ness another person in danger of al-
cohol poisoning need to band
together and quickly figure out how
to save that person's life.
Roberta Staples, director of pro-
fessional student development and
head of the Red Watch Band pro-
gram at Marist, guides participat-
ing students through a four-hour
training program in which students
gain CPR certification, learn the
Heimlich maneuver, understB:nd by-
stander intervention, learn how not
to panic under pressure while trying
to save a person's life, and under-
stand how to recognize an alcohol-
related emergency before it's too
late.
Freshman Kerianne Caprara, who
attended the program this past
Sunday, said, "It was really cool to
learn CPR. There was a lot I did not
know about it, and I think everyone
should learn how to do it. It is not as
simple as it seems."
Freshman Sarah Greenberg and
sophomore Emily Norris both ex-
claimed that they really enjoyed the
program and were glad to have gone
on that Sunday afternoon. Both
girls agreed that learning CPR was
the best part of their experience
with the program.
After finishing the program, each
student
will
attend a ceremony with
faculty from St. Francis Hospital
and the Poughkeepsie police to re-
ceive a certificate for becoming CPR
certified and a red wristwatch.
This new program is unique be-
cause it does not tell students what
Most alcohol education programs
tell students that they should not
drink at all. Instead, this program
trains students how to save another
person's life in an alcohol-related
emergency, which any student at
Marist College is in danger of fac-
mg.
By joining this program, students
at Marist College are choosing to
make a difference by willingly
agreeing to take time out of their
days to learn how to save another
student's life.

Black People: On the pursuit of nappyness
By RAVEN BAPTISTE-HOLDER
Circle Contributor
Hair does not equal feminine iden-
tity. Hair is, in fact, only one of the
many things that help society gauge
"femaleness." But in a society where fe-
maleness means assimilation to a Eu-
rocentric ideal of beauty, and
also
to a
submissive nature, is there any room
for the
Afro?
Hair is an aspect of identity many
women are made to confront. It is a
projection of how a woman would like
to be perceived and who she believes
she is within her society. Black women
in America face an interesting
dilemma when it comes to hair. When
African eilaves were brought to Amer-
ica, they were confronted with the Eu-
rocentric ideal of beauty, which, in
addition to pale skin and Anglo Saxon
facial structure,
also
included straight-
ened hair.
Black women straighten and
wear hair weaves not only for so-
cial acceptability, but for the
opportunity of upward mobility.
When fiscally able, black people
sought new ways to assimilate. Both
men and women began to straighten
their hair through a painful process
involving applying a
mixture
of highly
reactive lye, potatoes and eggs. To
avoid chemical burns, the solution
would have to be washed out com-
pletely.
In
the 1920s, black men wore
straightened hairstyles and main-
tained them using do-rags.
Eventually, a more stable straight-
ener was created, a cream composed of
sodium hydroxide that enabled people
to do it safely at home. What the re-
laxers or "perms" did was straighten
out the natural kink of black hair,
which grows tightly coiled. More black
women than not began to perm their
hair, in effort to fit in with what now
was not only a norm among the white
community but also in black commu-
nities.
The altering of natural hair became
a norm of necessity. Already embody-
ing an "otherness" that was rooted in
their dark skin and that proved to
be
the initial separation from what was
viewed as female, black women found
an entryway into societal acceptance
through the alteration of their hair to
the majority's favor. Soon, black
women began to internalize these
ideals themselves.
And in the black community, women
faced a unique pressure. Black men
had to assimilate, but not
to
standards
of beauty. Even in contemporary
soci-
ety, women of all colors keep their
identity wrapped inside their hair, and
are faced with questions such as, "Will
I still be sexy with short hair?" and
''How will I be perceived
if
I color it
blonde, wear it up in a ponytail, or
curly as it is?" The role hair plays in
sexual identity is an old one.
It
is still
present, more evidently in women of
Muslim tradition who cover their
heads and hair with hijabs to convey
modesty, and women of Orthodox
Jewish tradition who cover their hair
with wigs, hats or scarves
if
they are
~arried, because of the inherent eroti-
cism ofloose hair.
But in the 1960s during the Black
Power Movement, black women and
men were urged not to hide their hair
and to convey their self-love through
embracing their natural hair. Natural
black hair was something new then,
connoting political power and aggres-
sion.
With all of this history behind it,
black
hair
means many things in a
so-
cial context
.
Now, black women
straighten and wear hair weaves not
only for social acceptability, but for the
opportunity of upward mobility. To
survive in a society often means as-
similation to its norms, and profes-
sionally, black hair
is
viewed as
inappropriat.e by both white and black
audiences
.
In
1971, Melba Tolliver, a W ABC-TV
correspondent, made national head-
lines when she wore an
afro
while cov-
ering a high-profile wedding. The
station threatened to take Tolliver off
of the air.
In
1981, Dorothy
Reed,
a re-
porter and ABC affiliate in San
Fran-
cisco, was suspended for wearing her
hair in cornrows with beads on the
ends. KGO Radio called her hairstyle
"inappropriate and
distracting."
In
Au-
gust
2007, during a presentation on the
"Dos
and Don'ts of Corporate Fashion,"
STEVENDEPOLO/FUCKR
Cornrows nearly
cost

news
anchor her
job.
a junior staffer from Glamour Maga-
zine made negative remarks about
black women's natural hairstyles in the
workplace,
calling
them "shocking," "in-
appropriate" and "political."
The idea of selling out
is
not uncom-
mon in the black community for
women and men who choose to
assim-
ilate. But perhaps the greater power
lies in taking
real
agency,
making
deci-
sions based on what suits you best.
If
it
is to assimilate, then let it be.
If
it is

be. Take the power away from superfi-
cial

factors that threaten

Sexual Healing: Making a grown-up decision about Gardasil
By RACHAEL SHOCKEY
Lifestyles Editor
This past weekend, I went to
Planned Parenthood and got my sec-
ond Gardasil shot four years late.
When I first realized that I had com-
pletely forgotten about my vaccina-
tion series, I concluded that I was a
goner, doomed to death by genital
warts as punishment for my faulty
memory. To my delight, I learned
from a Planned Parenthood repre-
sentative that, so long as I am still
under age 26 and have not yet been
exposed to the strands of human pa-
pillomavirus, I can receive the rest of
the vaccines and they
will
be effective
in prevention.
I was reminded to inquire about
Gardasil by recent news that the Cen-
ter for Disease Control has officially

Club: Hockey dances to top-five ranking
By
BRIAN MAHER
Circle Contributor
Entering the second week of No-
vember with a record of 5-3-1, the
Marist College Hockey Team has
exceeded early season expectations
thus far. The Red Foxes are cur-
rently ranked fifth
in
the Northeast
Division II ACHA conference.
Led by senior captain Charlie Go-
tard, the team has shown an excel-
lent disp4ty of offensive power this
season.
Through the first nine
games, the team has
·
put 56 pucks
through the net, averaging over six
goals per game.
Defense, however, has become an
issue
in the early part of the season.
"We have to be more solid defen-
sively," Gotard said. 'We have to be
more mentally prepared before
games."
With 41 goals allowed, this is a
glaring area of improvement the
Red Foxes must address.
'We
have been winning games by
putting up a lot of goals," Senior
Forward Rob Schule said. "But we
have been giving up too many goals.
We need to pick up the defensive
end of play."
While most of the Marist College
campus is inactive during the early
morning hours prior to sunrise, the
hockey team is up and skating at
the nearby McCann Ice Arena. It's
not always easy for the Red Foxes
to
play their best during the early
hours.
"Part of
bein mentall
•
p epa cd
for games is being better in prac-
tice," Gotard said. 'We play better
when we practice better."
The team is together for seven
months, spanning both semesters
and giving the players a unique
bond with one another. At times, it
also interferes with other aspects of
the players' everyday lives.
''Playing hockey
on
a team in col-
lege while trying to manage aca-
demics and everyone's social life can
be difficult," Senior Defenseman
Michael Ozolnieks said. "It's tough
to get the team together on the
same page."
The Red Foxes will ultimately
play 25 games this year. The defin-
itive goal: a trip to the national
tournament.
'We as seniors know that we can
easily finish first or second in our di-
vision," Senior Forward and Co-
Captain Pat Brown said.
"Finishing
in
the top two would provide us with
an auto-bid
to nationals."
Team chemistry is of ultimate im-
portance to the Marist Red Foxes.
'We
have a large group of freshmen
this year," Schule said. "Getting to
know new personalities and new
faces has been a lot of fun thus far."
The team has a few rituals to help
loosen
them up before games and
practices. When asked what is most
fun about this year's squad, Pat
Brown responded by saying, "Our
dance parties. We have a big core
group of players that get along real
well, our Beck dance parties are
pretty phenomenal."
Rugby

Men's Rugby ended its season
with a 6-1 record in METNY D2
play.
As
the second seed in the con-
ference, Marist will play Colgate
University in the NRU semi-finals.
The match will be held Saturday
Nov. 12 at Vassar College. The Vas-
sar Brewers, who are hosting the
NRU championship tournament,
.
will play Fairfield.
The championship game will be
held the following day at 2 p.m.
The winner of the tournament,
which has four remaining teams,
will be granted an automatic berth
into the 16-team USA Rugby Na-
tional D2 championship. The na-
tional tournament will be held in
the spring.

Seniors
go out on top against Valpo
By
ERIC VANDERVOORT
Sports Editor
Uphill, downhill, having much
fun.
The second line of Marist's fight
song was in full effect on Saturday,
as the Red Foxes picked up their
first home win in nine tries. Marist
topped Pioneer Football League op-
ponent Valporaiso 30-7 on Senior
Day.
"This is the way you hope it works
out for your seniors, to win at home
and be able to put a lot of people in
the football game," head coach Jim
Parady said. ''You walk off for the
last time with a great feeling, and
that's a memory that they'll have for
a lifetime."
With a big lead in the fourth quar-
ter, Parady was able to get some
players who have seen little, if any,
playing time this year. In all, five
quarterbacks were used.
"We have guys that don't play
much and you want to see everyone
get into the action," senior tailback
Calvin McCoy said, "So it's great to
see my best "friends getting in and
playing, busting their tails."
The Red Foxes scored first in the
contest, just two minutes in after
runs of 43 and 15 yards by McCoy.
After trading punts the Valporaiso
offense was able to move the ball ef-
fectively against the Marist defense
to tie the score at 7, but that's all
the league's top-ranked defense
would allow on the day.
After a Jason Myers field goal,
senior quarterback Tommy Reilly
found senior wide receiver Kevin
Fitzpatrick to give Marist a 17-7
halftime lead.
Terrence Fede recovered a fumble
on the first snap of the second half,
which led to Myers' second field goal
of the day. Reilly and Fitzpatrick
hooked up again, this time for a 32-
yard score, and another Myers field
goal brought the score to 30-7.
With a comfortable lead, several
players were able to get into the
game for the Red Foxes who usually
don't see playing time. Senior
Michael Gentile and sophomores
Duell Smith, Anthony Varrichione
and Sam Loussedes all got some
snaps in at quarterback.
Several seniors stepped up and
shined on Senior Day, their last
game at Tenney Stadium. McCoy
finished with 116 yards on 14 car-
ries, while Fitzpatrick caught six
passes for 111 yards and two touch-
downs.
"It feels great," McCoy said. ''Right
before the game everyone was very
emotional. We're brothers, we're so
tight and we wanted to do it for us
and go out with a bang. It was my
first 100 yard game. I was like, I
can't go out without 100 yards, I
can't, and it felt like it just brought
the whole thing together."
Ryan Cronan, a senior linebacker
and the team's leader in tackles,
earned a College Football Perform-
ance Award with his eight-tackle
performance, which included three
tackles for a loss and a sack.
''It's a great feeling," Cronan said.
'We have a great senior class, all 17
of
us, so I think everyone stepped up
their game and played well today
for the seniors. When we put all
three phases of the game together
we're a good team. It was a good
way to finish off my career here at
Marist."
Junior kicker Jason Myers. also
earned a College Football Perform-
ance award with his three field
goals of 35, 33 and 21 yards. Myers
is now six for seven on the season.
This was the perfect way to wrap
up the senior's home career accord-
ing to Parady.
"That's what you hope for that you
go into the game and it all falls that
way for them," Parady said. "They
competed hard and there were some
good things that happened out of it
for both of them. You walk out with
a lot of smiles. It's always great to
win, it's a team
win, a family win,
and that's the most important
thing. If you can get those seniors
like Calvin and Kevin to have big
days also, that's icing on the cake."
JOSEPHS. Mill.ER/THE
CIRCLE
Marist senior receiver Kevin Fitzpatrick (4) had
two
touchdown receptions last Satur-
day
to lead Marist to a 30-7 win over Valporalso on Senior Day. With the win, Marist
improves to
4-6
on the season. The Red Foxes' season concludes this Saturday on the
road at San Diego.
The Fox Trot: The week in Marist athletics
Men's Soccer
After finishing the regular season
at 8-6-4 overall, the Marist men's
soccer team traveled to Lake Buena
Vista, Fla over the weekend to com-
pete in the MAAC championships.
Held at Disney's Wide World of
Sports Complex, the Red Foxes split
the weekend, winning on penalty
kicks on Friday, but losing on Sun-
day in the semifinals.
Friday's game was against fourth-
seeded Niagara, who Marist had
lost to by a score of 1-0 back on Sept.
30. The Red Foxes, who entered the
tournament as the fifth-seed, fought
hard against the Purple Eagles,
coming out strong with two shots in
the first 14 minutes. However, they
could not put the ball
in
the net, and
neither could Niagara, resulting in
a scoreless regulation.
The two overtime periods also
saw no goals, so it was time for
penalty kicks to determine the win-
ner of the match. At the end of the
shootout, the Red Foxes emerged
victoriously 4-1, despite being out-
shot 22-11 for the game.
Sophomore Gerry Ceja, senior
Alex George, junior Anthony Roz-
mus and senior Lucas Szabo con-
verted the kicks for Marist.
Graduate student goalie Steve
Skonieczny made eight saves, in-
cluding three
in
overtime.
The victory put Marist in the
semifinals, where they took on top-
seeded Fairfield. Unfortunately, the
Red Foxes would lose to the Stags,
3-1, the second time they had lost to
their MAAC rival this season.
Fairfield struck first, with Adam
Cowen ~coring in the game's 10th
minute. After that, Marist had shots
blocked on back-to-back plays, with
junior Stephen Brossard and senior
Krystian Witkowski getting oppor-
tunities. At the end of the first half,
Fairfield held the advantage in
shots, 7-4.
At 48:58, Fairfield notched its
second goal of the game, but 10 min-
utes later, the Red Foxes responded
when senior Lucas Szabo received a
pass from fellow senior Alex George.
However, that would be the only of-
fense for the Marist, as Fairfield
would score again in the 85th
minute to cement the victory.
Marist finished their season at 9-
7-4. Senior Krystian Witkowski and
junior Stephen Brossard were
named to the all-MAAC First Team
and senior Lucas Szabo, along with
Witkowski was named to the All-
MAAC Tournament team.
Swimming and Diving
Both the Marist men and women's
swimming
and
diving
teams
squared off against Canisius, in
Buffalo,
NY
on Sunday. The men's
team lost to the Golden Griffins
165-135, while the women's team
won handily, 179-118.
On the men's side, the Red Foxes
were lead by freshman John
Spitzer. Spitzer won the 50 and 100
freestyle races. Another freshman,
Bill Drennen, won the 200 freestyle
race, and also helped the 400
freestyle relay achieve victory. The
other members of that team were
senior ;Joe Papiro and sophomores
Alex Lombardi and Nick Spinella.
Marist also won the 1-and-3
meter diving events. Freshman
Jacob Baker and sophomore Sean
Molloy won their respective events.
The women's team was lead by
junior Kate Conrad and sophomore
Maddie Arciello, who each won
three events. Conrad won the 200
freestyle, 200 backstroke and 200
individual medley. Arciello pre-
vailed in the 100 backstroke, 50
freestyle and 100 freestyle. Both
swimmers were also part of winning
relay teams: Conrad in the 400
freestyle relay and Arciello in the
200 medley relay.
The women's record is now 3-1
overall and 2-0 in the MAAC, while
the men are 1-3 and 0-2 in confer-
ence play. Both teams will host a
diving-only meet against Fairfield
on November 12th, and the next
dual meeting will take place on Nov.
19, at Marist against Binghamton.
Volleyball
The Marist volleyball played two
games over the weekend against
two MAAC opponents. Unfortu-
nately, the Red Foxes were unable
to register a victory, falling to Can-
isius 3-0 on Saturday and losing to
Niagara 3-0 on Sunday.
In the first game, Canisius
outscored Marist 78-54, with the
first two sets being large victories
for the Golden Griffins (25-13, 25-
15). The final set went into extra
point, but in the end, the Red Foxes
were unable to pull out a victory,
losing 28-26.
Leading the way for Marist was
senior Joanna Foss. Foss had a dou-
ble-double, registering 12 kills and
10 digs. Junior Hanna Stoiberg had
nine kills and 1 7 assists, while
sophomore Audra Brady finished
with 11 assists and freshman
Brooke Zywick had a team-high
11
digs.
On Sunday, Marist lost in simi-
lar fashion to the Niagara Purple
Eagles. The Red Foxes dropped
straight sets of 18-25, 25-27, 17-25.
Joanna Foss registered 11 kills
for Marist, while sophomore Grace
.Hill led the team with 13 digs.
Other standouts for Marist were
freshman Marissa Gilbert (five
kills, four blocks), Hanna Stoiberg
(20 assists) and Brooke Zywick (11
digs).
Marist's record now stands at 11-
15, with an 8-8 record in the MAAC.
The team will conclude the regular
season with home matches against
Manhattan and St. Peter's, on Sat-
urday and Sunday, respectively.
Both matches will take place at 2
pm.

Women's soccer wins first ever
MAAC
title
By STEVE SABATO
Staff Writer
Marist College's women's soccer
team achieved history on Sunday,
capturing the first MAAC Champi-
onship
ill
the team's existence,
when they defeated Loyola 1-0, in
Loyola, Md. Freshman Amanda Ep-
stein was named the tournament's
Most Valuable Player, and this his-
toric feat conies in head coach Kate
Lyn's first season with the team.
"It means so much more than
words can describe at this point,"
Lyn said. ''To have an experience in
an institution that has supported
me in my position, as well as having
girls that have supported my role as
a head coach. It's a great feeling,"
Senior, and captain, Katie Hannis
added to Lyn's statements, about
what this means for the players,
and the team as a whole.
"It's just unbelievable, I'm speech-
less, it's the best feeling in the
world," said Hannis. ''The program
has come
so
far in the four years I've
been here"

called upon to face three penalty
kicks from Fairfield, to decide who
would move on

MAAC Championship. The Foxes
won the shootout 3-2.
"I really don't mind PKs at all,"
Landsman said, "there's a lot more
stress on the shooter than the goal-
keeper," she added.
Landsman followed her perform•
ance in the semifinals with a
shutout in the finals against Loyola,
helping to allow the Foxes to win
two straight games with one goal-
scored, giving praise to the Foxes'
defense.
"I'm so proud of all the girls,"
Landsman said, "I truly believe we
have one of the best defenses out
there." She continued, ''They're our
rock."
The Red Foxes will move on to
play the twentieth-ranked team in
the nation, Boston College, in the
first round of the NCAA Women's
Soccer Championship on Sunday,
Nov. 13. The Eagles won 4-0 over
the Foxes when these teams met in
2009.
For Lyn, despite the fact that she
was not with the Red Foxes the last
time these teams met, the Eagles
present a familiar foe. She happens
to be friends with an Eagles' assis-
tant coach.
She
also believes it will
take a great deal of
work
to defeat
Boston College.
I know they are a quality program,
they got to the NCAA Final Four
last year," Lyn said. "It's going to
take a lot of work ethic, fitness, and
drive, to compete with the level.
They're a different standard than
what we've met thus far."
Landsman added that she believes
in the Foxes' chances against the
Eagles.
''I
really believe BC's going to be a
good matchup for us," Landsman
said, ''We're ten times the team we
were when we played them before. I
really believe we have what it takes
to go to the next round."
Hannis also believed in the team's
ability to pull an upset over the Ea-
gles.
''I
think that any team can win on
any given day," she said,
"if
we go in
with the right attitude, anything
can happen."
