Marist takes on mission
for outreach in Ghana
By
MONICA SPERANZA
News Editor
This July, 14 people from the
Marist community and Regina
Coeli Church in Hyde Park will
take a mission trip to Ghana. Pro-
fessors Christina Vertullo (math-
ematics) and Ann Matthews
(computer
information technol-
ogy) and one Marist undergrad
student will be going on the trip
with 11 people from the Regina
Coeli Church, including Marist
MBA stuq.ent Father Raphael
Tawiah.
The project will benefit people of
rural Ghana. Tawiah, who is from
Ghana; suggested buying soccer
gear for elementary school chil-
dren. Part of the money will go to-
ward soccer uniforms. Nike has
donated 40 soccer balls to the proj-
ect that are already with the chil-
dren in Ghana. Another aspect to
the trip is Marist's collaboration
with the Catholic University of
Sunyani and the goal to build a
computer lab. Matthews and Ron
Coleman, who are associate pro-
fessors
of computer -science,
worked with IT to donate 20 com-
puters to this cause. The goal is to
create a wireless network for the
university, tested by Professo
·
r
Stephen Buerle's class.
"We want to transfer the tech-
nology to, hopefully, some college
students in Ghana," Matthews
said. But the mission is not simply
about giving mater-ial things.
"It's going to be a cultural ex-
change of people from the U.S.
and Ghana," Vertullo said. ''Meet-
ing one another and learning
about one another, sharing faiths,
sharing ways of doing things."
For example, the university has
a curriculum for computer science
but no faculty, so in the future
Marist could look into a collabora-
tion, such as sending a professor
to teach there while Marist stu-
dents take the same class online.
Marist involvement with this
project came after Vertullo heard
Tawiah talking about Ghana in
2009 and suggested, "Why don't
we go to Ghana
"'
to which Tawiah
said, "That's a good idea." From
then on, Vertullo has been over-
seeing the whole project.
Regina Coeli Church and other
churches in the area are donating
religious implements like chalices
for mass and the Devotion to Our
Lady the Blessed Mother (a
shrine). Vertullo has been asking
anyone she knows who is involved
with a church to help. A math pro-
fessor who is a Marist alum is do-
nating his collection of math

Diverse activities promote Sustainability Day
By
JENNA GRANDE
News Editor
On Thursday, April 14, Marist
will host its annual Sustainability
Day as a part of the Sustainabil-
ity Week program. The week will
start off on Monday, April 11, with
guest speaker Maude Barlow com-
ing to discuss the issues facing the
world's water resources, and on
Tuesday, April 12 there will be an
environmental movie available for
the Marist community to come
and watch. On April 14, however,
is the main attraction of the week
which will draw in the biggest
crowd.
President Dennis Murray will
kick off the day at 9:30 a.m. in the
Performing Arts Room by giving a
welcome address and introducing
the morning's keynote speaker
Sacha Spector, who is the Science
Conservation Director at Scenic
Hudson. After the welcoming ad-
dress, there will be vendors, pan-
els and tables set up for students,
faculty and staff to visit until 5
p.m. Some of these vendors in-
clude dairy taste testing from
Hudson Valley Fresh and water
taste testing from Students En-
couraging Environmental Dedica-
tion.
Biology chairman Dr. Raymond
Kepner will be hosting a "dump-
ster dive," which has beeri a major
attraction at Sustainability Day
the past few years. Students go
through the trash collected from
residence halls and examine how
much waste they produce.
There are also going to be panels
and movies available for students
to attend throughout the day. At
12:30 p.m., there will be a stu-
dent-run panel featuring students
from Marist, Bard College, Vassar
College and SUNY New Paltz.
Here, students will compare dif-
ferent environmental precautions
that each school has taken to re-
duce their overall global impact
and what each
·school
can do dif-
ferently to make it even lower. At
3:30 p.m., there will a climate
change discussion panel featuring
environmental science chairman
Dr. Thomas Lynch and Josh Rob-
bins, an assistant professor of
media arts, and faculty members
from differing respective fields
like psychology, economics and
business.
The films that will be featured
will focu·s on different environ-
mental issues like consumerism,
and fossil fuels. The films being
shown will be: "Feed the World,"
"Gasland" and "Economics of Hap-
piness."
A new activity added to the itin-
erary this year is the touring of
the new Hancock Center. The
tours will be limited to 10 people
and explore the building's new
green features. Students on the
tour will also get a chance to walk
around on the new green roof.
At 5 p.m., the evening's keynote
speaker Andrew C. Revkin will be
giving a lecture in the Nelly Ga-
letti Theatre. Revkin is a former
New York Times science reporter,
the author of The New York Times
"Dot Earth" blog and a Senior Fel-
low for Environmental Under-
standing at Pace UPiversity.
Revkin will focus his presentation
on the enormous opportunities for
today's generation to tip the odds
toward progress that fits on a fi-
nite planet.

"We have raised a fair amount of
money through the church and
[Marist]," Vertullo said. "We are
trying to raise maybe $10,000 and
we're halfway there." Vertullo had
never run such a project before and
was having trouble coming up with
how to raise money, until she
thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if
clubs could raise money?" Now,
some Marist clubs have been do-
nating around $50 each to the proj-
ect.
"The Math Club said 'we'll raise
$50, some how,' and that gave me
the idea," she said. "A small
amount, you know, is at least at-
tainable. So I sent an email to
many clubs, athletes, et cetera,
'Could you raise $50 to make the
children of Ghana smile?"'
Vertullo
.
said that now, after the
fact, she thought of more efficient
ways to raise money, like if every
undergraduate donated a dollar or
two, that would raise $4,000 to
$8,000.
Although it is too late to sign up
to go on the mission to Ghana in
July, there are academic opportu-
nities to visit the country. For ex-
ample, Eddie Summers teaches a
political science course that does
an attachment to Ghana.

The Senior Class Gift Campaign
hosted a wine tasting event at the
Cornell Boathouse on Wednesday,
March 30 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.;
·
all of the proceeds went to the
Marist Fund.
The Marist Fund is beneficial to
students at Marist in many differ-
ent areas of a student's life. The
Marist Fund assists in awarding
student scholarships
,
creating in~
ternship opportunities and help-
ing them study abroad.
"The Marist Fund pays for all
the experiences you have at
Marist," said Nicole- Pernice
,
one of
the co-chairs to the Senior Gift
Campaign and class president
.
"Past alumni continue to donate to
the Marist Fund."
Catering director Lisa McGovern
guided the seniors through each
wine, describing the basics about
wine and

wh~t to do before drink-
ing a glass of wine. McGovern's
wine expertise comes from her ed-
ucation at the Windows of the
World Wine School. Now, M;cGov-
ern uses her expertise to educate
students at
Marist.
"I have been doing this for al-
most five years," McGovern said.
About 50 seniors enjoyed wine
and desserts that were served
with appetizers. After tasting the
Prosecco, which was served as

.
"The Bellini cocktail tasted much
better when I had it with the tart,"
senior Meghan Reggi said.
The Senior Class Gift Campaign
is not over, however.
"About 30 percent of the senior
class made a donation [towards
the Marist Fund]; the winning
record is 48 percent; we need
about 100 more seniors
to
donate
to beat the current record," said
Matt Lubrano, co-chair to the Sen-
ior Class Gift Campaign.
Their last event will be a senior
supper hosted by Sodexo in the
dining hall on April 19. For $12,
seniors will get to enjoy dinner
and a glass of champagne.

The downlow on underground music Internet downloads
By
JIM BRENNAN
Circle Contributor
Today's musicians operate in an
atmosphere that would seem in-
credibly foreign to the artists of pre-
vious generationS'. In my eyes, the
driving force behind this drastic sea
of change in the music industry can
be accounted for by one thing-the
prevalence of the Internet. The In-
ternet completely changed the game
by making nearly any recorded
piece of music quickly and easily ac-
cessible to the masses. This has
turned out to be both a boon and a
yond nearly any other medium, the
actual production of music today
has made it easier for these acts to
get themselves out there. What
used to cost tens of thousands-
maybe hundreds of thousands - of
dollars to set up a recording studio,
now takes no more than a Macbook
Pro
and
a
decent
mic.
It can only be a good thing if you
sask me, as it brings unprecedented
diversity in choices of musical offer-
ings. What used to have to be picked
up and approved by a record label
can now be'
released
independently
and effectively through a group's
website, Tumblr or
Facebook.

novations into

thorn in modern day music's side.
This gap in thought really shows it-
self in recent times, with relatively
old school artists fighting tooth a.nd
nail to stay relevant while simulta-
neously condemning this decidedly
new-age tool. All the complaining
and arguing in the world however
will not do anything to slow or re-
verse what
I
see as a natural evolu-
tion
of
artistic
expression.
hav.e an incredibly powerful tool for
FUCKR/ROLAND
getting your message/music out
All
signs
point
to
a
surge
in albums
being
released on the internet for your pleasure.
Ever seen that modern art exhibit
and said to yourself something like
"I could have done that, why isn't
my artwork on the wall?" Or to
draw an even more relevant paral-
lel, heMd music on the radio and
said to yourself, ''Why isn't that me
crooning over the airwaves instead
of artist x?" Well, that could be you
if only you were more accessible.
That's what the Internet brings to
the world of artistic expression: ac-
cessibility, a stage more vast than
anything to
come
before
it.
In addition tothe internet giving
up and coming artists visibility be-
there. Most notably was Radio-
head's
"In
Rainbows"
album, which
they famously
hosted
for
download
on
their website with an optional
donation box.
But
that was slightly
different case, as
Radiohead
had
long been an established and cele-
brated figure in the music world.
There is one group that's caught
my attention and kept it recently,
and they call themselves Odd Fu-
ture Wolf Gang Kill Them All, or
OFWGKTA for short. The group is
a collaboration of friends, producers
and rappers all coming together to
get their na.mes out there. Members
of the group range in age from 16 to
19 or
20
somethings, depending on
which interview you watch. Their
style is a bit on the grungy side
of
violent and offensive, often ranting
about rape and always trying to
outdo each other in the gross-out de-
partment. Worth noting, though, and
redeeming
of the subject matter
is
that
all
their music
is
self-produced, from the
beats to the ~udio tracks and mixing.
At the forefront
of
the group
is
Tyler,
The Creator, whose album "Bastard"
is
available
for
free
download and
has
been
generating
a
great
deal
of hype.
His
lat-
est
surge in popularity was than.ks to
the music video for the song
Yonkers on his upcoming album
"GOBLIN'' (which is dropping soon;
so
keep those ears to the ground).
After Kanye West somehow got
wind of it, he tweeted a message to
the effect of ''Yonkers: Best music
video of
2011."
Since the name drop
by Mr. West, Tyler enjoyed an in-
crease of
100,000
new hits on
YouTube per day for a solid week or
two. These guys are going to be big,
as they utilize every aspect of the
new
music
scene.
Check OFWGKTA out at
http://oddfuture.tumblr.com to form
your own
opinion
on
them.
Whether they're your cup of tea or
not, there's no denying that expo-
sure is going the way of the Internet
and a single strategic tweet from a
celebrity, a reblog on Tumblr or a
few hundred or thousand plays on
YouTube can go a long way for an
underground artist's career in this
day and age. Don't pay for over-
played pop when you can take a
gamble on underground and ride
the new wave of music the Internet
has to offer.
To
pay or not to pay the NY Times paywall
By
VALERIE PISCITELLO
Circle Contributor
Newspaper companies across
the board have been implement-
ing pay walls or online subscrip-
tions on their websites. Some
companies make readers pay in
order to view any articles on "their
sites. Others, like The New York
Times,
make readers pay after vie~g a cer-
tain
number of articles for
free.
As of March 28, the New York
Times .launched digital subscrip-
tions. Readers are allowed to view
up to
20
articles online per month,
and once they reach this limit,
they are asked to become a digital
subscribers. Readers who have a
subscription to the print version
will be given full access to the on-
line
version
of the
paper.
What does this mean for read-
ers of The New York Times and
FUCKR/ADKINN
The New York Times'
paywall
looms
over
-devoted readers
questioning their loyalty.
other n~wspaper publications that
have implemented pay walls?
Many expect to see a decline in
readership. Those that are unwilling to
pay these digital subscriptions
will
be
forced to find their news elsewhere.
There are many other mediums
used to be retrieve the news. Today,
social media sites make it simpler
for individuals to view articles,
headlines
and
news
stories.
But what does this mean for on-
line journalism, or even
print
joumalism?
Those that no longer have daily
subscriptions to national newspa-
pers such as the New York Times or
the Washington Post, have been re-
sorting to these newspapers' web-
sites, but now that they are
implementing pay walls, individu-
als unwilling to pay will no longer
retrieve the news form reputable
sources
such
as
these.
This doesn't sound too good for
journalism. Could pay walls ulti-
mately lead to the demise of jour-
nalism? Some critics say so.
People
will
always need the news
- no matter what. And if that means
reading biogs, reading news on mo-
bile phone applications, or reading
the print newspaper, news will al-
ways be necessary. Pay walls on
µ.ewspapers definitely give the
newspaper industry a threat
,
be-
cause if readers can get their news
for free through other mediums,
why
would
they
pay?
Many
expect
to see a
decline in
readership. Those that are un-
willing to pay these digital sub-
scriptions will be forced to find
their news elsewhere.
To pay or not to pay is the real
question in this debate. Are in-
dividuals ·more willing to pay to
view their favorite newspapers
online or will they go to free
websites that are giving the
same information? I think that
more individuals are unwilling to
pay and will find a different news-
pa per or a different website that
doesn't charge for their readership.
Americans understand the ne-
cessity. of the pay wall for the
success and profit of the news-
paper; however, it could end up
hurting the newspaper in the
end because of the decline in
readership that is likely to
occur.

Eat in cheap and savory with your sweetheart
By BEN BRUCKENTHAL
Circle Contributor
All those in a long term and com-
mitted relationship know that
going out to dinner
really
takes a
toll on your wallet. A romantic
evening at your favorite restaurant
can cost more money than your
petty old Marist card can handle.
In
the event you are like me and
you want to get every bang for your
buck without feeling guilty that
you spent your weekly allowance
on one night out,. I would recom-
mend browsing through the aisles
of your local grocery store instead.
You will be able to buy fresh ingre-
dients at a reasonable price, in
bulk, and have enough food to last
you for multiple meals.
It was Friday night and having
spent a long day at my internship,
I couldn't think of a better way to
spen~ my evening than with my
girlfriend. Corny, but true. Knowing

must
re
what
did.you
make?
Well,
the
pos.ghjlities
were
endles.5.
Chicken and mixed yegetables are
always an option and pasta seemed a
little
too
simple to prepare. I had fajitas
the night before, and I was spent
on
wraps. Then it
hit
me ... steak!
I
quickly
typed
in steak recipes into Google
and
sure
enough
I found
.
a promis-
ing
pick. The recipe called for top
sirloin round filets marinated in
garlic, lime juice, soy sauce and
sesame seeds, further seasoned
with salt and pepper. I crusted the
sirloin filets on a grill shaped skil-
let, five minutes on each side, and
then popped them into the oven for
four minutes at 350 degrees. The
steaks were a
peifect
medium rare.
Contemplating whether to pair
¢is
protein-rich meal with a few greens and
vibrant colored vegetables, we decided
to
make two additional sides.
The first was sauteed green beans
with olive oil and garlic. Yes I love
gar-
lic. Who doesn't? The second side was
something I had never tried
making
before, a mango salsa. The salsa's
recipe
called for two mangos, half a
red bell pepper, half a red onion,
half a jalapeno pepper, half of a
small cucumber, cilantro, three
tablespoons of fresh lime juice, salt
and pepper. The mango was deli-
d,ous, sweet and refreshing, and
the red bell peppers providd an
unexpected crunch. Both the red
onion and jalapeno kicked the mix
up a notch, exciting my taste buds
and jump starting my palate. The
cilantro was a great earthy addi-
tion and lime juice provided enough
tartness to balance the salsa's over-
all sweetness and spice. Finally, to
complete the meal,
we
made sticky
rice to soak
up
the salsa
and
steak's
juices.

Hudson Valley farmers' efforts yield fresh milk
By
JULIANNE CHENG
Circle Contributor
As we wake up each morning to
grab a bowl of cereal before class,
we mindlessly pour milk into the
bowl without thinlting about the ori-
gins of that milk. Have you ever
i;topped
to wonder where that gal-
lon of milk came from? Let's be hon-
est here, how many of us really
know or care where milk comes
from just as long as it's in the
fridge? With Hudson Valley Fresh
dairy products, the truth doesn't
have to be so scary. The company
they sets out to make -consumers re-
alize that "all milk is not created
equal."
Hudson Valley Fresh is a not-for
profit dairy cooperative that con-
sists of nine farms located in the
Dutchess and Columbia counties of
the Hudson River Valley area. The
organization was formed by Samuel
Simon, a retired orthopedic sur-
geon, to combat the growing costs of
single family-run farms. By uniting
the local family farms, it keeps
farmers in business and the region
clean, without the pollution that
would occur if the land were bought
out by industrial development.
The organization values sustain-
ability in both their business and
agricultural practices. Hudson Val-
ley Fresh's milk is locally produced,
processed and sold, which leaves a
low carbon footprint. Their milk is
produced on those nine farms,
processed in Kingston and distrib-
uted in the Mid-Hudson Valley,
New York City, Long Island,
New
Jersey
and Connecticut.
Chairman of the Board Jerry Si-
monetty said that Hudson Valley
Fresh's milk is
''beyond
organic"
milk. Unlike organic
milk, which
is
pasteurized in high temperatures
until all its nutrients are gone and
later manually replaced, the milk of
Hudson Valley Fresh is lightly pas-
teurized. This prevents stripping
the fresh milk of all its nutrients,
most importantly vitamin D, which
the human body is more likely to ab-
sorb in its natural state.
Simonetty also made the point
that Hudson Valley Fresh farms
treat all of their cows very well.
In
the barns, there are recycled rubber
mattresses for each cow to lie on
while they chew and digest their
food so their joints are not stressed.
Furthermore, the cows' feed in-
cludes a large amount of hay, which
helps them produce better quality
milk with higher Omega-3s. Simon
added that Hudson Valley Fresh
cows have a lower white blood cell
count; a lower count equals better
quality in taste, texture and nutri-
tion.
Each of Hudson Valley Fresh's
nine farms is also required
to
~et
strict quality inspections. They are
all required to be members of the
Dairy Herd Information Associa-
tion, which checks the herds
monthly for quality inspection.

trast to Hudson Valley Fresh, they

ducing quality food and beverage
products
for
the public through sus-
tainable farming practices. This is
w
at
makes them stand
out
as a so-
ci~lly responsible organization.
Hudson Valley Fresh's line of
ptoducts includes: milk (whole, one
percent and skim), cream (half and
half, heavy cream) and sour cream.
Furthermore, the company has
plans to expand their product lines
into yogurt and chocolate pudding.

Students develop personal bonds with Haitian restaveks
PHOTO COURTESY OF KIMBERLY MEAD
The Haiti
Solidarity and Praxis students learned about the culture of Haiti
firsthand.
By
MICHAEL GAROFALO
Features Editor
Vincent is a rescued child slave, or
restavek. At about 12-years-old, he
is one of the oldest children living in
the home for restaveks, so he had
probably been exposed to a consid-
erably longer duration of hardship
than his peers.
The Haitian boy was initially shy
and showed little emotion. That is,
until he reached out and touched
the hand of senior Amands Piebes.
It was a moment that she will not
soon forget.
Students had been learning about
Haiti for half a semester in Profes-
sor Peter-Raoul's Haiti Solidarity
and Praxis class, prior to spending
their spring break in Les Cayes.
The information they learned in
class was valuable, but could not re-
place firsthand experience.
As planned, the students visited a
home for restaveks, where they
made drawings and played wiffle
ball.
Adult student Joseph Burkes de-
scribed an otherwise shy little girl
named Mica, who was about six or
seven years old;
"Porte," she said to him,
which
means
''lift
me up," and that is what
he did.
"All of a sudden, the biggest souri
- which is smile - came across her
face and it made me feel so good in-
side," Burkes said.
The restavek children get three
·
meals per day, as opposed to the one
meal - or less - that they received
as
child slaves.
These personal connections made
leaving Haiti emotionally difficult
for the students, many of whom de-
sire to return.
However, not everything that they
experienced was positive.
Haiti is still in poverty, and Peter-
Raoul said that there has been min-
imal improvement since her last
visit.
According to junior Katie
Brewer there is some construction
equipment around, such as bulldoz-
ers and dump trucks.
Most of the Haitians make their
living by setting up shops. They sell
food and lottery tickets and get up
early in the morning to work in the
fields or at their shops.
"They're not waiting for someone
to come along and save them,"
Peter-Raoul said.
Young children can be seen
walk-
ihg around with machetes to cut
open coconuts.
''They're very very independent,"
Brewer said.
Two students expressed concern
with low-priced imports of rice to
Haiti. They worry that the prices
may be undercutting the native ven-
dors.
Matthew Wilk is concerned that
"we will keep Haiti on the receiving
end of this charitable relief effort."
But he is not suggesting that relief
be terminated. He believes that for~
eign aid is a good thing,
but
cii:e'a~
imports may be a prob~
According to a 2009 report by thel
U.S. Department of State, 24 per-
cent of Haiti's gross domestic pro5i-
uct is agriculture, with coi:n, coffee
and rice among other major crops.
Around the same time that the
students were going to Haiti, former
President Jean-Bertrand Aristide
was returning. It was odd that for-
mer President Jean-Claude Du-
vail~r was also returning to Haiti.

Marist alumnus competing as pro triathlete
By
NICK
WEBSTER
Circle Contributor
At six feet, 158 pounds Justin
Harris looks like an average 26-
year-old. By looking at him, you
would have no idea that he works
three part-time jobs while still man-
aging to train and compete as a pro-
fessional triathlete.
"It takes a lot of planning and
mental strength to get to the top of
any sport or discipline," Harris said.
A native of Wappingers Falls,
Harris (or "Jut" as most close
friends and family members know
him) is a 2007 Marist College grad-
uate. Already a national-class run-
ner at John Jay East Fishkill High
School, Harris would eventually
serve as a captain of Marist's track
and cross-country teams while
breaking school records.
"Jut was a good captain;" said
Marist's Director of Track and Field
Pete Colaizzo. "He set the tone for
team leadership as a captain."
Harris' decorated running career
includes a high school national
championship in the '4x800 meter
relay,' a Marist school record in the
same event, an appearance at the
2003 USATF Junior National
Championships l0K, and another
school record in the 3000-meter
steeplechase. Both of his collegiate
records, achieved in 2004 and 2006
respectively, stand to this day.
Harris was encouraged to get into
the sport of triathlon by fellow Red
Fox alumnus, Sean Prinz. Triathlon
races consist of a swimming
,
biking
and running with distances varying
on an event-by-event basis.
FromPage7
Sources say that he returned to
Haiti because he is ill, or because he
wants to help in recovering from the
2010 earthquake. Duvalier and
Aristide have vastly different polit-
ical histories.
Aristide was an advocate for the
poor, who wanted to levy taxes on
the rich. Some of his political beliefs
were met with resistance.
A dangerous militant group called
the Tontons Macoute made it diffi-
cult for impoverished Haitians to
vote. They were the demographic
most likely to vbte for Aristide.
Even talking about him was dan-
gerous at one time.
Even today, Peter-Raoul does
not speak highly of the government.
The 7.0 earthquake of 2010 was
just one more event that hampered
the democratic voting process.
But the political climate cannot be
oversimplified to a battle between
the rich and poor, even though
poverty is a big issue. Today, Aris-
tide's ideology is embraced by some
and resisted by others.
''They're just as (politically] mixed
as we are," student Katharine Saso
said.
The distribution of wealth in Haiti
is very unbalanced.
Adult student Domtila Achola said
that the rich accumulate more
wealth, while the poor only get
poorer.
The students were embedded in
an unfamiliar culture and their lim-
After competing in a few
triathlons prior, 2009 marked the
year Harris decided to seriously
dedicate himself to becoming a pro-
fessional triathlete. While commit-
ting to this goal, Harris was
working three part-time jobs. He
has worked as a store mahager at a
shoe store, is currently working at
Bikeway Bikes for the season and is
an assistant coach to the cross-coun-
try teams at SUNY New Paltz.
He is also working toward his
master's degree by taking a weekly
class at SUNY New Paltz. This may
sound like a constant struggle, but
Harris uses words such as "happy,"
"in control," and "strong'' to describe
his attitude in life.
Harris trains "anywhere from 10
to 15 hours a week in eight to 12
sessions a week, with about three to
four swims, two to three bike rides
and two to three runs."
Harris had to save money for race
entrance fees and all of the gear re-
quired to train and race.
Fundraising is another task he
was required to fulfill before being
able to enter races his first year.
Harris chose to fundraise for Team
FIGHT after being inspired by one
of his training partners, 2008 Elite
Triathlete of the Year, Laurel Wass-
ner. Wassner is a survivor of
Hotchkins lymphoma, for which
Harris helped raise $750.
"She truly is a fighter and is an in-
spiration to many," he said.
On July 18, Harris reached
his
ini-
tial goal. By finishing third in the
elite-amateur category at the Nau-
tica NYC Triathlon, he had quali-
fied for his "pro card." At the
beginning of the 2011 calendar year,
ited Creole made verbal communi-
cation challenging at times. Trans-
lators were available for assistance,
but it was sometimes difficult to lo-
cate them immediately.
Nonetheless, Peter-Raoul was
pleased that her students made ef-
forts to integrate into the Haitian
culture, especially when every sin-
gle student attended an optional re-
ligious ceremony, even after a long
day.
This was the kind of attitude, the
''visceral heart," the ''beating heart,"
that Professor {>eter-Raoul later de-
scribed.
Prior to their departure, Peter-
Raoul said that she wanted her stu-
dents to make their best efforts to
communicat~ in Creole, even if their
understanding of the language is
very basic.
She wanted to send the message
that her students were willing to in-
tegrate into Haitian society, rather
than expect the Haitians to speak
English.
"You exceeded my high expecta-
tions," she later said to her class.

Triathletes oompete in swimming,, biking and running. JustJn Harris qualified as a pro.
Harris sent in his application and
was accepted, officially marking
him as a professional triathlete.
Harris' most recent victory took
place on Sept. 12 in New Paltz.
There he won the "Survival of the
Shawangunks" in his first attempt
with a time of four hours 26 minutes
and 36 seconds. Marist College pro-
fessor Keith Strudler finished sec-
ond, only 29 seconds behind in the
intense eight stage triathlon. Dr.
Strudler has been competing in
triathlons for about 25 years and
has trained with Harris in the past.
'1
am not surprised in what Justin
has accomplished," Strudler said.
"He is
very intense and focused and
has always had an enormous capac-
ity for pain tolerance."
Pleased, yet never satisfied, Har-
ris is already eyeing the USAT Elite
Duathlon National Championship
on April 30 as his ti.ext race.
Harris admits that his lifestyle
is not glamorous by any means. Al-
though he has fundraised for noble
causes, he is "not saving the world."
He is simply following his dreams in
a constant pursuit of self-improve-
ment.
"Life is about challenging yourself.
You can either fail miserably or suc-
ceed in ways higher than what you
thought possible," Harris said.
"It is a matter of telling yourself
this is what you got to do. Attack
the day and get everything done.
Think positive."

New music from TV on the Radio, Foo Fighters and more
By
RYAN RIVARD
Managing Editor
TV on the Radio "Second
Song" -
On TV on the Radio's new
album, "Nine Types of Light,"
there
'
s an absence of punk energy
found in earlier songs like 'Wolf
Like Me" or "Dancing Choose," and
instead is replaced with a slowed-
down soul for patient listeners.
"Second Song" opens the album
with Tende Adebimpe gentle
'
s voice
,
gradually unraveling the rich layers
of the elaborate production. Ade-
bimpe
'
s falsetto combined with the
subtle horn section and funk guitar
licks give the song a signature
stamp that is inarguably TV on the
Radio. This Brooklyn-based band is
aging, but they
'
re doing it with
grace.
Incubus "Adolescents" -
End-
ing a ijve-year hiatus, Incubus' new
single is one of those we're running
out of time to do what we do kind of
songs. Appropriate for the album
title,
"If
Not Now, Then When?" Un-
fortunately the track is familiar ter-
ritory
for
Incubus
fans;
atmospheric, soft verses lead into a
large chorus where Brandon Boyd
repeatedly sings uninspired lines,
"Out of sight and out of mind / Out
of time." The song doesn't get inter-
esting until Mike Einziger blitzes
through the mundane with a wiry
guitar solo, transitioning into a mel-
low bridge with soothing "Ooohhs"
from Boyd.
The album title's question still
stands.
If
this single indicates the
rest of the album's sound, then the
answer may just be
1
"maybe next
time." Maybe next time, Incubus
will cohesively blend the weird odd-
ness of their earlier albums with
their post-2000s breed of palatable
alternative-rock.
Foo Fighters "Dear Rosemary''
- $tripping down the slickness of
radio rock production, the Foo
Fighters kick it old school with their
seventh album. "Wasting Light/'
recorded at Dave Grohl's garage
.
in
ahalog by Butch Vig (producer be-
hind Nirvana's "Nevermind"), is
their most prima1 rock offering to
date. "Dear Rosemary," an album
standout, features grunge hero, Bob
Mould, on guest guitar and vocals
and shows more polish than a
garage album would indicate
.
But,
it will tempt you into listening to
the rest of this flannel:tickling
album.
Panda Bear "Alsatian Darn" -
Panda Bear's highly anticipated fol-
low-up to "Person Pitch," ''Tomboy,"
is available in full streaming on
NPR's website before its April
1~
re-
lease. Over the last year, Panda
Bear released a series of seven-inch
singles. Many of those songs are on
this album, but bursting with new
life, thanks
to
Spaceman 3 founder
Panda Bear's MAlsatian Dam" is one of
the best songs on the band's new
album.
Sonic Boom. The British pro-
ducer/musician has been actively in-
volved in the industry since the 80s,
and more recently has worked
with MGMT on their latest album,
'Congratulations." "Alsatian Darn
"
is one of the songs that benefited
from remixing, as the song's tex-
tures are much more vibrant and
audible.
Britney releases 'Femme Fatale' 'Limitless' excites and astounds
Album Review
Morrie Review
By
NGUYEN PHAM
Circle Contributor
After receiving success with her
comeback album
,
"Circus
,
" Britney
Spears released "Femme Fatale
"
on
March 28.
'We're going out with the projec-
tion 275,000 to 300,000 [albums
sold]. I think this is still a healthy
total for her, given the market and
given where her career has been.
This is a good showing
,
" said Roy
Trakin, Hits Daily double senior ed-
itor.
Though it did leak two weeks be-
fore its release date, many critics
and fans are giving "Femme Fatale"
positive feedback, which is good
news for Spears, who said that
"Femme Fatale" is her best album.
\
Spears released her seventh
hit album
on
March 28.
The album's first single, "Hold It
Agains
t
Me" was an overnight hit,
holding a spot on Billboard's Hot
100 list
.
The song has a catchy and
sexy chorus
,
similar
to
past singles.
Spears sings,"You feel like para-
dise / and I need a vacation tonight
I
so if I want your body now/ would
you hold it against me?"
Other songs like "Beautiful (Drop
Dead)" and "How I Roll," sound like
annoying techno songs with too
much auto-tune and repetitive
lyrics. Many songs on this album
have heavier, electronic beats.
Though this sound is different, it
still has the liberating, hyper dance
vibe that Spears always provides for
fans and music enthusiasts.
If
you are a Britney fan looking to
hear singles similar to past albums
then "Inside Out" or "I Wanna Go"
are the. songs to listeh to. "Inside
Out" is a good breakup song, ad-
dressing the issues between staying
and leaving
.
Spears sings, "Baby shut your
mouth and turn me inside out /
Even though we couldn't last for-
ever, baby/ You know what I want
right now."
It
is hard to believe that after
being
i.n
the business for
16
years,
this particular album is her best
yet. Though heavy electronic beats
are becoming a part of mainstream
music, Spears has never used this
style of music at this extent. Could
it be that her producers and record
label executives had her focus in
this direction to keep records sell-
ing?
Spears
'
seventh album sounds
more commercial than previous ef-
forts
.
House music may be in right
now, but Britney Spears will always
be the femme fatale.

A&E Editor
This spring's blockbuster hit,
"Limitless," is a thrilling, action-
packed drama that is sure to keep
viewers at the edge of their seats.
Bradley Cooper stars
in the
thrilling MUmitless."
Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper), is a
struggling novelist, trying to make
ends meet. When he runs into an
old friend, he is offered a pill unlike
any he had taken before. This un-
usual (and presumably illegal) pill,
NZT, has been designed to allow
users to utilize 100 percent of their
brains at a time. Recently dumped
and crippled by writer's block
,
Morra takes the pill and instantly
starts seeing the world more clearly.
He is able to work more efficiently,
learn new concepts almost in-
stantly, seduce women and write a
book with just one dose!
Seduced by the magic of NZT,
Morra continues to take the pill in
increasingly higher doses. He hits
it big in the stock market and be-
gins
to
gain recognition from busi-
nessmen
like Carl Van Loon
(Robert DeNiro), and reporters who
want to know his secret. Morra's life
finally seems to be falling into place
until he learns some frightening in-
formation about the pill.
Plus,
everyone seems to want to get their
hands on Morra's dwindling stash
,
and they'll do anything for it. Morra
finds himself struggling to decide
whether to preserve his health and
safety or his newfound fame and
fortune.
"Limitless" is exciting and full of
drama and suspense. The tone is
smart and jumpy, with elements
reminiscent of "Fight Club" and
"The Matrix." The film is full of
witty narration and cool camera an-
gles. The music and special effects
add an artistic element that is en-
tertaining and fun to watch.
In
addition to the great cine-
matography, the overall concept of
"Limitless" is captivating and
thought provoking-are humans re-
ally capable of such genius if they're
able to use their entire brain at
once?
Though the story was intriguing,
the acting fell a bit short at times.
Despite starring such seasoned ac-
tors like Cooper and DeNiro, the
characters lacked depth. The per-
formances were neither bad nor ex-
traordinary. Also, some of the
scenes were a bit grandiose and far-
f etched, but perfectly appropriate
for an action movie.
Overall, "Limitless''. is an enter-
taining and fun movie that keeps
audiences guessing. It's unpre-
dictable
,
never boring and full of
thrills.

Sexual Healing: Soothe groin irritation the classy way
By RACHAEL SHOCKEY
Lifestyles Editor
Public crot.ch grabbing or scrat.ching
is not attractive. Even those who
will
be swimsuit-clad, sprawled out on the
Marist green by the end of this
month, can't get away with this inar-
guably unsexy, caveperson move. Yet,
as the temperature increases, so does
sweating, sexing and extracurricular
shaving, inevitably leading
to
some
skin rashes and
·
irritations in the
groin area. Do what you have
to
do
with your goods this spring and sum-
mer, but when it comes to taking care
of an it.ch below the belt, consider try-
ing these remedies in private, ins.tead
of making a public fool of yourself
.
Mayo Clinic staff members cite
evening primrose oil (which may
restore fatty acids), Omega-3 fatty
acids (which may relieve Inflamed
skin) a~d chamomile creams as
herbal remedies that treat general
cases of dermatitis.
Chafing and universal treat-
ments. The staple for most groin
rashes or irritations is an over-the-
counter zinc oxide cream.
"Zinc oxide is one of the key ingre-
dients in sunscreen formulations.
It
is
known for its superior sun protection
capabilities and preventing skin dam-
age," explains
Dr. Marilynn
Syrett,
contributing writer at http://sel-
growth.com. "Zinc is an extremely es-
.
sential element for healthy skin.
Apart from sun protection, it is useful
for wound healing, acts as an astrin-
gent and also helps with the treat-
ment of acne."
Your zinc oxide product need not be
fancy. Don't be ashamed to pick up a
big, cheap tube of A+D diaper rash
cream;
if anyone gives you a funny
look, tell them you babysit, or that it's
for a new tattoo.
Hydrocortisone creams and Aloe
Vera can be used as well, and until
you can get to the drug store, spare
some of your arousal lubricant to
treat your irritated skin.
If
you're into more natural remedies
for your ailments, the Mayo Clinic
website provides some p0pular alter:
native medicines used to treat irri-
tated skin. Mayo Clinic staff members
at http://mayoclinic.com cite evening
primrose oil (which may restore fatty
acids), Omega-3 fatty acids
·
(which
may relieve inflamed skin) and
chamomile creams as herbal reme-
dies that treat general cases of der-
matitis.
While the effectiveness of most al-
ternative medicines is not 100 percent
proven; it's been theorized that many
of them can be just as effective as
other over-the-counter pain relievers.
"Studies have found that topical
chamomile is about as potent as a
product containing 0.25 percent hy~
drocortisone," they write. Tea-tree,
Vitamin E and lavender oils are also
believed to offer safe relief to groin ir-
ritations, but the evidence for these
claims is not as strong.
If
you venture
to
try an herbal rem-
edy,
be sure to apply the oil with a cot-
ton ball, rather than pouring it
directly on the rash or irritation, to
avoid further burning and it.ching.

at
http://livestrong.com note that black
tea is particularly helpful in soothing
pain caused by a multitude of differ-
ent sores.
"Ohio dermatologist Jerome Z. Litt,
M.D., recommends wetting a black
teabag with cold water, then pressing
it against the canker sore for several
minutes. Black tea contains tannins,
which is a common ingredient in some
over-the-counter pain relievers and
may help reduce the pain of a canker
sore," they write.
Genital herpes.
If
you've been in-
fected with genital herpes, you've
likely been assured over and over
again that your outbreaks
will
be-
come milder with age; but don't let
that suffice as your only comfort for
the time being. At-home herpes treat-
ments, while predictable, can still
offer substantial relief when practiced
in conjunction with your regular, pre-
scribed medication. Planned Parent-
hood conespondent
Dr.
Cullins offers
a rundown of the basics of herpes
treatments at http://plannedparent-
hood.org: 'Warm baths may give
some pain relief. Cotton clothes
will
help prevent chafing. Keep the sores
dry -
moisture can slow healing.
Holding coo~ compresses or ice packs
to the sores may be soothing. Pain re-
lievers such as aspirin, acetamino-
phen, or ibuprofen may help relieve
discomfort and fever."
Cullins's suggestions can be applied
to many lesser groin irritations than
herpes.
In
addition to wearing cotton
underwear, baking soda can be ap-
plied to herpes sores to help keep
them dry. Herbal remedies and black
tea bags can
be
tried on genital her-
pes as well.
Be
mindful that, while many raw
skin issues that come from sweating,
shaving and rough romping
will
be
easily treatable, many
will
not go
away without professional medical at-
tention. Look out for suspicious, irri-
tated bumps and rashes that don't
subside after about two weeks.

Schpeel
on Wheels: Hudson Valley's forgotten Fiats
By REGGIE NEDERMAN
Staff Writer
After I wrote last week's article
about Italian automobile manufac-
turer, Fiat, coming to the states, I
received a comment from a reader,
who pointed out that I had missed
one very interesting fact about
Fiat, the United States and our
very own Marist College.
alOCIDjWIQMEDIA COMMONS
Rais BNthe
Red
Fochole
~babe
we
did.
Fiat, which had manufactured
most of its cars in Italy once, had a
manufacturing plant right across
the street from Marist campus.
The Fiat plant, which could have
been found where the Home Depot
and Staples now stand along route
9, started rolling out Fiats back in
1910. What is interesting about
the year the factory started pro-
ducing cars is that, in 1910, the
Italians were producing cars from
a plant in the United State!!, while
Ford didn't yet have their own ag.
sembly line.
A few years later, World War I
drastically impacted the Fiat fac-
tory and U.S. relations with Italy.
With the war, people began con-
centrating on building machinery,
weaponry, airplanes and tanks
(which Fiat built at the time). With
the U.S. and Italy focused on the
war effort, producing cars became
secondary. After the war, Fiat
started construction of their new
plant, the Lingotto fac~ory, in
Italy, and completed the factory in
1922. The factory is known today
as the pinnacle of Italian architec-
ture (for the auto world). The Lin-
gotto factory, which was five sto-
ries high, began manufacturing
cars on the ground level, and pro-
ceeded to complete the construc-
tion of the car on the next resulting
level.
The.Fiat
plant, which could
have been found where the
Home Depot and Staples now
stand along Route 9, started
rolling
out Flats back
In
1910,
while Ford didn't yet
have
their
own assembly
ll~e.
Upon completion, the car found
its way onto the roof of the build-
ing. You might be asking yourself
why they would build in such a
manner, but this was only because
the new factory contained a futur-
istic, "secret" racetrack on the roof
of the building, on which new cars
were tested.
As
you might imagine,
the building was the first of its
kind, and really broke the mold for
automobile factories.
This building, which was the
world's largest automobile factory
at the time, made the Fiat factory in
Poughkeepsie almost obsolete; it ul-
timately led to its demise in the
Hudson Valley. Information on the
Fiat factory in Poughkeepsie is very
limited, and even on the Fiat site's
history page (http://fiat.com) there
is no mention of the plant in Pough-
keepsie. The building was still
standing in the mid 1990s, but had
been deteriorating. Its original brick
walls were covered by stucco, elimi-
nating the building's resemblance of
the Fiat factory.
It's a shame that such a historic
place is gone and almost forgotten.
However, since Fiat is back in the
states now, we may see a factory
once again closer to home. I believe
the chances of that are slim to none,
there is always the possibility.
Fiat's new development also brings
the possibility that the currently
vague history of the once famous
Poughkeepsie plant will resurface.
If I had to place a bet, I'd say that
will
happen in the months to come.

Foxes look forward to season after spring gaine
"Now we have people that have
had experience," Celestin said. "And
the four freshmen that started
[plus] myself, we know what we are
doing. We can get better physically.
Mentally, we have everything
down."
The offensive line had to contend
with Terrence Fede, an extremely
talented defensive end who was in-
active last season due to his in-
volvement with a security-related
incident that took place during the
spring of 2010.
From his down stance, Fede
chased down halfback Calvin
McCoy to the far sideline twice in
the first half and clobbered running
back R.J. D'Apolito on the White
team's first defensive play from
scnmmage.
"Im happy [Terrence] is back," Ce-
lestin said. "He has proven to us
that he has been putting in the
work in the off season since he was-
n't here last season."
Several roster changes have also
taken place, including moving fresh-
men Michael Yannucci and Patrick
Desaultels from the offensive to the
defensive line.
Junior
Tim Moller, who played the
past three seasons as a defensive
back, has worked out as a running
back this spring.
"I felt like I wasn't really
helping
the team out on defense," Moller
said. "I wasn't putting my whole self
to the team
on
defense. Maybe mov-
ing to offense, I can help us out
more. We think we have a chance to
do really well next year."
The Marist rushing attack aver-
aged 61.1 yards per game last sea-
son behind the efforts of six
different rushers while allowing
179.9 yards on the ground per con-
test to its opponents.
"I definitely feel like I still have a
lot to prove to the team and to the
coaehes," Moller said. "I'm still
learning, and I'm going to continue
to go over the offense and the pack-
ages."
How significant the losses of sen-
iors James LaMacchia, wideout,
and Chris
Ortner,
tight end, will be
to the Marist offensive unit has yet
to be seen.
The pair combined for more than
1,000 all-purpose yards last season,
but the Red Foxes
will return six of
its top 10 receivers.

Orefice leads Marist to series win at Canisius
By
ERIC
VANDERVOORT
Sports Editor
The Marist baseball team traveled
to Buffalo, N.Y. last weekend for a
series against the Canisius Golden
Griffins, taking two out of three
games. Sophomore first baseman
Mike
Orefice
led the Red Foxes, hit-
ting a home run in each of the three
games and going
a
combined
6-8 on
the weekend.
"We let
one
go in the first game,
but overall it was an awesome
weekend,"
Orefice
said.
On Saturday, the teams played a
doubleheader. In game one, Marist
jumped out to an 8-4 lead in the
fourth inning. The Red Foxes were
led by senior catcher Bryce Nugent.
Nugent hit a three-run home run
and a two-run double in the game.
However, the Golden Griffins put
up seven runs in the sixth and won
the game 12-8.
It was Marist's turn for an offen-
sive explosion in game two, as they
took the game 13-3. On a combina-
tion of walks, hits and two Canisius
errors, Marist
scored
seven runs
in
the second inning. Sophomore
shortstop Zach Shank started the
inning by reaching
on
an
error,
and
capped off the scoring with a two-
run
single
to make the score 7 -0.
The Red
Foxes continued to pour
it on, with three more runs in the
next inning and six more total in
the game. Freshman Nick
McQuail,
Orefice, junior Jon Schwind and
Shank each contributed RBI hits,
and Orefice hit another home run.
The loss for Canisius was only
their second in 1 7 games at home.
Senior Golden Griffin starter Shane
Davis only went three innings, the
shortest outing of his MAAC career.
It was also just his third loss in 26
regular season conference starts.
The teams returned on Sunday for
the rubber match of the series.
Orefice hit his third home run of the
weekend in the third inning to give
Marist a 3-0 lead. In the sixth, the
Red Foxes doubled their lead on
RBI
hits from sophomore
Dan
Zlot-
nick, freshman Jake
Berry
and
Schwind. That was
more
than
enough for Marist, who didn't give
up
a hit until the sixth inning.
Starter Kyle
Putnam
left after l.2
scoreless innings, and Sean
McKe-
own followed
with 4.2 innings, only
giving up
one
hit. McKeown im-
proved his record to 4-0.
·
Orefice
seems to have found his
power stroke, as his three home
runs this weekend were the first
three of the season for the W ap-
pingers Falls native.
"It was just one of those weekends
where anything he throws looks
good," Orefice said. "Whatever he
throws looks like the size of a wa-
termelon."
The Red Foxes improved to 19-6
on the season, but have only played
three games at home so far.
"It's been weird, but we've been
awesome
on
the road,"
Orefice
said.
''We just lock in and play really well
away froni home."
After a trip on Tuesday to face
Bucknell, Marist
will return to the
friendly confines
of
McCann Base-
ball
Field for a four-game home
stand. Marist is scheduled to play
Holy Cross on Wednesday at home.
At the time The Circle went to print,
these games had not yet taken
place.
This weekend, the Red Foxes will
host MAAC foe Rider, with a dou-
bleheader starting at noon on Sat-
urday and the third game at noon
on Sunday.
Reznek embraces leadership position for Foxes
ByJIM
URSO
Sports Editor
As the green Deco turf of the East
Campus Tennis Pavilion emerges
with the disappearance of snow, a
new leader of the Marist men's ten-
nis team may be emerging
,
and he's
making his voice heard
.
This past week, freshman Will
Reznek, who originally hails from
Toronto
,
Canada, won each of his
four singles and doubles matches
against Siena
,
Fordham, Canisius
and the University of Buffalo. In
those matches
,
the Red Foxes went
3-1, improving their record to 8-2
overall and 2-0 in the MAAC.
For Reznek, there's a pretty sim-
ple cause and effect.
"I think it's because I'm training
harder and practicing more than
an
y
one else on the team," Reznek
said
. ·"
After practic
e,
I do a lot of
agility training by myself. It
'
s about
putting in the extra hours."
According to coach
Tim Smith, the
comment is accurate and also em-
blematic of Reznek
'
s openly confi-
dent personality
.
Smith hopes that
Reznek's extroverted personality
and equally strong
work
ethic will
translate into leadership
.
"Over the last few years, I have
had to be much more of cheerleader
than I would prefer," Smith said.
"We had leaders, but they just went
about their business very quietly."
Smith believes the play of fellow
freshman and doubles partner
Lorenzo Rossi, who is from Lugano,
Switzerland, has benefited from
Reznek's temperament
.
Reznek
doesn't disagree
.
''Well he's by far the best player
on the .team," Reznek said of Rossi.
"But when you
'
re the best on the
team, what do you have to motivate
you during practice? I just push him
to do better
.
"
Loic Sessagesimi
,
who joined the
Red Foxes as an assistant after
graduating in 2010, said Reznek's
personality can have both positive
and negative effects on the team.
"His behavior and the way he car-
ries himself can help lead the team,"
Sessagesimi said, "but sometimes
he can also bother others."
While Smith sees Reznek's as-
sertive temperament as a positive
leadership trait, he proclaims that
Marist must not enter the MAAC
tournament, which will be played
April 20 and 21, too confidently.
Smith said his top six singles play-
ers are mostly set: Rossi (first sin-
iles), sophomore Joris Van Eck
(second singles)
,
junior Matt Him~
melsbach
(
third singles)
,
senior
Landon Greene (fourt4 ~les). a"Rd
Reznek and senior Nicolas Piseck
~
rounding out the fifth and sixth
slots. Senior Marcus von Nordheim
also has the potential ~o break into
the top six. In doubles
,
much like
the last two years, the teams are not
yet set.
"Senior Rhys Hobbs has an oppor-
tunity to break into doubles," Smith
said. ''Two years ago, after we lost to
Fairfield 5-2 in the regular season, I
completely changed up the doubles
teams. I put Rhys in doubles and he
was one of the reasons we won the
doubles point and the match over-
all. He set the tone for the match."
Marist faced Fairfield on Wednes-
day, April 6. Since The Circle went

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -
In their first MAAC conference
game of the season, the Red Foxes
met up with the Siena Saints on
Saturday afternoon.
Two games and
14
drama
-
filled in-
nings later, the Red Foxes find
themselves sitting as the conference
leader. A sixth-i~ing RBI single by
junior Nicole DiVirgilio (Aston, Pa.)
won game one and sophomore
Sarah Carmody's (Camarillo, Calif.)
ground ball in the bottom of the sev-
enth, which in turn was thrown
away, completed the sweep for
Marist
(17-14).
In the first game, Marist was led
by freshman Alyssa Zahka ( Lex-
ington
,
Mass. ) and DiVirgilio, each
of whom compiled two hits, and the
pitching of freshman Paige Lewis
(Temecula, Calif.). DiVirgilio ex-
tended her hit streak to 16 in the af-
ternoon's first contest, but went
hitless in the second game, ending
the streak. Lewis turned in another
complete game, giving up just two
runs and striking out four. The win
improved her record to 7-5.
The Saints scored their two runs
in the first inning on a two-run shot
from Samantha Jones. Marist knot-
ted the score on the heels of two solo
shots: one by DiVirgilio in the third
inning and the other by Zahka in
the fourth. The two teams remained
tied until the sixth inning. A single
·
by Zahka led off the bottom half of
the inning. Five batters later, Di-
Virgilio singled, scoring freshman
Nicole Van Loan (Kingston, N.Y.),
who was pinch-running for Zahka.
Marist won by a score of
3-2.
In the bottom of the second inning
of game two, Marist found itself in
a
4-0
hole, thanks to a three-run
double by Sceppaguercio, but the
Red Foxes quickly responded. Car-

pelled Siena to the 6-5 lead it car-
ried into the last inning.
Trailing 6-5 with the bases loaded
and one out in the bottom of the sev-
enth inning in the second game,
Carmody grounded the ball to first
base. The ball was fielded by Siena's
Kayla Kaminsky, whose throw
home sailed high to allow sopho-
more Danj.elle Koltz (Chenango

10-6
entering the fourth
quarter.
Keith Long tallied his fourth goal
of the game for VMI, drawing the
Keydets within three of the Red
Foxes with
12:02
left in regulation.
Marist went on a
3-0
run over the
final nine plus minutes of the game,
including Doherty's sixth goal on
the afternoon. This was his second
set of three consecutive goals in the
game. Sophomore Nick Piotti (Ho-
Ho-Kus, N.J.) and freshman Tucker
Nelson (Penfield, N.Y.) tallied the
final two. goals of the game to finish
off the Red Foxes'
13-
7
win.
Defensively, Marist was led by
senior Nick Armstrong (Kings Park,
N.Y.) who caused five turnovers and
collected eight ground balls. He also
shut down VMI's leading goal-
scorer Drew Leonard, who failed to
register a point in the contest.
Goalie Brendan Price (Bay Shore,
N.Y.) held the Keydets in check, as
well, as he made
11
saves and al-
lowed only seven goals. This is his
third straight game, in which he has
held an opponent to seven goals.
As a team, Marist outshot VMI,
32-31,
c9llected more ground balls
at
36-32
and caused more turnovers
at
14
to

his last three games. Doherty se-
cured his first three goals in a mat-
ter of five minutes and seven
seconds between the end of the first
quarter and beginning of the sec-
ond. For the day, he scored his six

Marist football program holds
.
annual spring game
By PHILIP TERRIGNO
Editor-in-Chief
Football fans that attended last
season's spring game had good rea-
son to fe{}l unprepared
if
they ar-
rived at Tf,tnney Stadium without a
calculat.or.
The game~ played in an offense vs.
defense format, used a point system
t.o decide a winner.
Six points were awarded to the of-
fense for a t.ouchdown, four points to
the defense for a turnover or pre-
vention of a touchdown
if
the of-
fense started a drive inside the
defensive team's 35-yard line. The
list went on and on.
This time around, a much simpler
approach was taken: a draft held
prior to the game yielded two sides
that faced each other in the pro-
gram's annual Red vs. White spring
game, held on Friday, April
1.
"It's much more competitive [with
two teams]," junior quarterback
Mike Gentile said. "Kids will have
more pride in their team when
there's no confusion about what
team you're on. You've got two sets
of the offensive lines going out there
and doing a good job as well as the
receivers split evenly."
Players dealt with wet and blus-
tery conditions over the course of

On Thursday, March
31,
a draft was held to determine sides for the
football
team's an-
nual spring scrimmage. The game, which
took
place the next day, provided younger
players an opportunity to get game experience. Four weeks of spring practice remain.
their spring practices, a 14-session
schedule that commenced on Feb.
28.
"We have never had spring ball
this early in the year before," Gen-
tile said. ''The trainers take precau-
tions. Other teams that have been
playing in this cold are accommo-
dated for that. The back end of our
season it gets real cold. Why not get
more
practice
time
in
that
weather?"
Five quarterbacks were active in
the scrimmage and the White squad
captured a 23-21 vic'tory behind the
play of signal-callers Chuckie
Looney, Sam Loussedes and Duell
Smith.
Tommy Reilly, last season's pri-
mary starting quarterback, was in-
active for the game and is
recovering from ACL surgery.
Gentile, who is rl;!covering from a
knee injury
_
of his own, and sophQ-
more quarterback Anthony Varri-
chione were placed on the Red team.
''Mentally, it was a real building
step," Gentile said. "I have one sea-
son under my belt and now I have
spring ball under my belt. We went
live, too. It gave me some confidence
sitting in the pocket and I have felt
comfortable for the first time since I
have been back."
Twelve offensive linemen dressed
for the contest and the unit wel-
comed back Rocco Manfre, Steve
Carretta and Peter Evans, who
missed the fall season due to a leg
mJury.
Phede Celestin, a six-foot-five-
inch, 317-pound sophomore joined
four freshmen to form the Red
Foxes starting offensive line last
season.
