Assigned parking spaces: A struggle for security
By
CLAIRE MOONEY
Circle Contributor
Many Marist students have the
privilege of having a car on campus.
This fall, many students are finding
warning slips left on their cars by
Safety and Security reminding them
of that privilege.
'There was an empty space between
two cars [in Hoop lot], and it was the
same size as a parking space, so I
parked in it," sophomore Lauren Mar-
siglio said. She could not see any
parking space lines, but cars were
parked on either side of her. What she
did not realize at the time was that
the car to her right was parked ille-
gitimately, which made her parking
spot illegal, as well.
Marsiglio received a parking ticket
the next day. She feels that her ticket
was unfair and is currently in the
process of appealing the ticket. Stu-
dents can appeal tickets by filling out
an appeals form from the Office of
CLAIRE MOONEY/THE
CIRCLE
Cars
fill
the
Foy
parking lot, which Is reserved for faculty parking only. Security, stu-
dents and faculty often clash over the limited parking space available on campus.
Safety and Security or the Student
Government Association, and the
ticket may be voided by a panel of
judges from SGA
Some students feel that the parking
policies at Mari.st are unfair.
'There's not enough thought behind
it," sophomore Joey O'Shea said. ''Last
year, living in
Leo,
I had to park
where the Fontaine Annex is. This
year I got a parking ticket about the
second week of school for parking in
Riverview because I had to bring in
some stuff."
This was O'Shea's first parking of-
fense. He said that only a few weeks
later, he parked in the wrong lot and
was only there for about two hours.
When he
.
returned to
his
car, he found
a warning ticket with no fee assigned.
"I don't really understand why they
gave me a ticket the first time and a
warning the second time," he said.
John Gildard, director of Safety and
Security, said that the warning sys-
tem is brand new this year. When an
officer notices that a car is breaking
one of the parking rules, which are ex-
plained on the Mari.st website, an offi-
cer can scan a car's Mari.st parking
permit bar code or the car's license
plate. Once this number is entered,
the officer has the ability to see the
number of warnings previously is-
sued, and they can then decide
whether to issue a warning or a ticket.
A
ticket comes with a price which is
billed to the student's account. The
money from tickets goes into a "gen-
eral fund."
A
warning comes without
any charge.
"[A
warning is] just to let people
know," Gildard said. "It's up to the of-
ficer's discretion whether to give a
ticket or not."
O'Shea
also
complained that the lot
assignments don't make any se!19e
be-
cause students often park very far
away from their dorms so that faculty
can park in front of their residence.
This is the case with Sheahan Hall
(where freshmen with enough credits
can park), Midrise Hall and Foy
Townhouses.
"I have no issue with handicapped
parking or a section of the lot that's
clearly labeled faculty," O'Shea said.
But for the Foy lot to be reserved for
faculty, "that· makes no sense. They
don't look at it from our perspective."
Gildard said that assigning lots is
a struggle, especially since the lots
keep changing with every new build-
ing and the needs of employees, resi-
dents and commuters must be
juggled.
·
''Mari.st
is
considered a walking cam-
pus," Gildard said. 'We want to keep
traffic off the streets as· much as we
can. Walking is healthy. We want to
be environmentally friendly."
Hopefully these changes in parking
violation reprimands
will
help both
students and Safety and Security.
Catskill Mountains still recover.ing from Hurricane Irene
By
NGUYEN PHAM
Staff Writer
''The bottom floor of my school was
flooded and we lost a lot of sports
and drama club equipment
.
The
neighboring towns were devastated.
Many people have lost homes, busi-
nesses were totaled, and buildings
continue to collapse," Tammy Alli-
son, said in an email, to Professor
Zsuzsanna Szabo.
Szabo, an education professor at
Marist, forwarded this message
with the devastating details to col-
leagues, hoping others would help
those affected by Hurricane Irene in
the Catskills. Though the damages
at Mari.st have been repaired, many
towns across the Hudson River are
waiting for FEMA, the National
Guard and the Red Cross to accom-
modate whatever they can.
'We have been pretty fortunate in
getting help. The National Guard is
in Margaretville and Fleischmanns
as well as FEMA and other organi-
zations who are helping these poor
people," Allison said.
"On Labor Day I took school sup-
plies and all kind of hygiene items
(soap, lotion, toothpaste and brush,
deodorant, etc.f I had a spare
printer and I gave it to Tammy for
her classroom," Szabo said.
Allison's email inspired Teachers
of Tomorrow and Kappa Delta Pi,
the education honors society at
Mari.st, to come together to gather
supplies and money after finding
out how bad the damages at Alli-
son's school had been.
·
Since the storm, towns near
Rox-
bury, where Allison is from, re-
ceived an abundance of supplies.
Teachers of Tomorrow and Kappa
Delta Pi had to change their ap-
proach.
''We found out that Schoharie
County still needed supplies, so we
will send supplies there. We are
going to start collecting supplies
and donations from our first meet-
ing [on Wednesday] until our second
meeting, which will be on Oct. 26,"
Stephanie Deickler, president of
Teachers of Tomorrow, said.
The outreach for professor Szabo's
student did not stop there. Profes-
sor JoAnne Myers of political sci-
ence and women studies added
supplies to Szabo's stockpile during
Labor Day weekend. She is also
spreading the word for others to

help those in the Catskills.
"I have been reaching out to
women's groups in Ulster County,"
Myers s_aid.
Myers also intends on reaching
out to other women's groups in New
York, hoping that this project will
not be a one-time donation, but a
cause that will continue for a sub-
stantial amount

time.
"[The victims] may have an abun-

Security Briefs
Marist ablaze with first visit to St. Francis
ByCHRIS RAIA
Staff Writer
Before we get into last week's sto-
ries, I'd like to direct everyone's at-
tention
to
an
important
announcement. The Circle, the
newspaper that you are currently
holding in your very hands, is also
online. We have a website, and it's
quite easy to get to. Just type
.
http://maristcircle.com in your fa-
,
vorite Internet browser and - bingo-
bango - there you are. There is
currently a poll on the paper's site,
.
and only 11 people have clicked on
it. In the weeks that The Circle ac-
tually puts out a dead-tree (print)
publication, 2,000 issues are printed
ana distributed across campus.
More often than not, most or all of
_
these issues are picked up and read
by
students,
faculty,
random
passersby or squirrels. I hope the
clicks on the poll does not correlate
to the amount of people who are vis-
iting the website, because that
would mean our cil:cula.ti.Qn wol.U'1.
have decreased by 1,989 readers -
from 2,000 to 11. That would be de-
pressing. So
if
you see a Facebook
link to an article, click it.
If
you see
a Tweet, retweet it... or hash tag
it ... or do whatever it is people do on
.
Twitter. Thanks. Hearts. Moving
forward ...

almost always ill-advised to leave
an expensive piece of technology on
a wall and walk away from it, but I
still feel bad for the girl. A college

Finally we can go back to a usually

A maintenance worker in the Stu-

around 1 a.m. reporting that some
of the fliers on the bulletin board

He didn't
walk into the room to see the walls
ablaze, but apparently somebody
had just held a lighter to the corners
just enough to blacken them. 20

Sexual Healing: Erogenous expeditions
By RACHAEL
SHOCKEY
Lifestyles Editor
Your hands, mouth and
genitalia likely gravitate of
their own accord to the
wettest, squishiest, most
engorged parts of your part-
ner's body during a sexual
encounter. Little does your
free-thinking, carnal body
know that it is grazing over
minefields of nerve endings
and thresholds of arousal
begging to be traversed.
Erogenous zones can come
in the most unsuspected
packages; everything from a
penis to an eyelid has been
classified as being capable
of super sexual stimulation.
With some disappointingly
obvious and some wildly un-
predictable, we might cate-
gorize the erogenous zones
into roughly three levels of
obscurity.
As
these spots get
more obscure, the task of
suggesting their stimula-
tion to your partner
will
likely become less graceful
and more daunting, but the
prospect of discovering bril-
liant new sensations (or at
the very least, building a
better foundation of trust
with your partner) make
the tiny risk of embarrass-
ment worthwhile.
Level
One.
We receive the
erogenous zones in level one
with a resounding ''Duh."
The
fact
that the perineum,
anus, scrotum, genitals,
breasts, nipples and lips

erogenous zones seems to go
without saying, but
if
you
had not yet considered ex-
ploring sensations in, say,
your partner's perineum

tween the anus and the sucked

To minimize awkward-

context,
communicating
with your partner about

which feel painful and
which feel good but not

minds us that there are so
many nerve endings in the
feet that we should be

ful

partners. 'The key to a foot

Level
Three.
This last
category houses the backs
of the knees, eyelids, un-
derarms and forehead-
all places where the skin
is clearly sensitive, but
also places that are lucky
to be featured in
dirty
talk
maybe once a decade.
However, like the feet and
abs, lightly stroking the
eyelids or underarms may
be a hidden key to leaving
your partner's head spin-
ning with pleasure.
Again, to ease into an
exploration of these zones
with minimal awkward-
ness, begin touring these
areas with your partner at
a time when you are not
prepping to have sex. It
might be easiest to begin
by rubbing your partner's
shoulders and back, mov-
ing
progressively
to
stranger territory like the
hairline and underarms.
When you do move on to
sex, don't shy away from
creativity. These spots can
be stroked not only by fm-
gertips, but tongues, geni-
tals, nipples, feathers and
silk gloves as well.
Remember: the strategy
that
is
more valuable than
any method of stroking is
communication.
Eroge-
nous zones and comfort
zones vary wildly for
everyone, so you should
always feel your partner
out verbally before you do
so
physically.
There's
much less harm in asking
your partner about toe-
sucking and the like than
in physically overstepping
their boundaries on the
matter.

Alumnus El Diablo Santiago re-enters the ring
By
MATT
SUTOR
Circle Contributor
For one night only, El Diablo San-
tiago returns.
After hanging up his wrestling
shoes in 2007, Luis Santiago, the
Marist College director of under-
graduate admission and on-campus
visits and events,
returns
to the
ring for Northeast Wrestling's "Au-
tumn Ambush" event at the Mid-
Hudson Civic Center on Oct. 1.
Santiago, or "El Diablo Santiago,"
as he is known as in the wrestling
world, graduated from Marist in
1998 before taking a job with the
admissions office in the fall of 1999.
That same fall is when his wrestling
career began.
"I was actually introduced to
wrestling by Mike Bell, who was a
bouncer at Rennie's Pub," Santiago
said.
"Mike
Bell did matches for
WWE so that's how I first got in-
volved."
After his introduction
to
the sport,
Santiago continued with his train-
ing at Tony DeVito's wrestling
school and was personally trained
by Jeff Libolt. His first match was a
Sunday, the day before he started
working at Marist.
"I was actually pretty nervous be-
cause I didn't want to come in
to
my
first
day
of
work with a black
eye
or
anything like that," Santiago said.
Santiago wrestled until the spring
of 2007, when he unofficially retired
from the sport he had loved since
his childhood.
''I
really started developing more
of.
a
,:ole in my job at Marist and I
.was
given
a
great opportunity with
the admissions office," Santiago
said. "I worked every Monday
through Friday in the office and
then wrestled eyery Friday and Sat-
urday night. It was a lot of wear and
tear on my body."
However, when he was recently
contacted about the event in
Pough-
keepsie by Mike O'Brien of North-
east Wrestling, Santiago knew he
wanted
to
get back in the ring.
''It worked out that I was available
for the date and that it was a local
event so I told Mike I would do it,"
Santiago said.
Santiago will have a large support
crowd for this event, something he
didn't necessarily have at the peak
of his career.
''In seven years no one was ever all
at one place," he said. ''My wife is
from Poughkeepsie. My friends and
co-workers live in the area. This
was a great opportunity that I didn't
want to pass me by."
Some of Santiago's fans who will
be in attendance are members of his
staff in the admissions office. Brian
Loew, Assistant Director of under-
graduate admissions,
said he
dropped any plans he had when he
heard about the event.
''I'm actually traveling in Maine
the week before, and I have to be in
Maine the following Monday," Loew
said. "But I'm coming home to make
sure I see Lou in action
.
"
Loew
was one of a handful of stu-
dents who went to see Santiago
wrestle in 2007 when Loew was a
student-worker in the admissions
office.
"It
was pretty
eye-opening tu
see
Lou wrestling," Loew said. "The
only Lou I had ever known was that
he was one of the most professional
people I had ever
worked
with. It
was pretty entertaining to see him
in spandex jumping off the upper
ropes
to
slam someone. I
know
he's
real excited to get back in the ring."
While Santiago said he's looking
forward to the event, he's not just
focusing on himself. Santiago is giv-
ing
$5 of every ticket he sells to the
.
Marist HEOP Alumni Fund.

nity Program is a "comprehensive

During his time at Marist, Santi-

was a HEOP student, so he said
this was an opportunity to give back
to
both the school and the program.
One of the conditions of Santiago

"Lou made this a way to benefit
others, and that's something that
we all love about him," Loew said.
"He is so professional and efficient
in the office - it's fun to see him let
loose in the ring. We all think it's
great he can be himself at work and
then be himself in a different way
when he wrestles."
For Santiago, it's about putting on
a good show and making sure he
·
has a good time in what he antici-
pates to be his final event.
"I don't really foresee any other
matches," he said. "The idea is to
make this such a good show that it
would be too hard to top. But I cer-
tainly don't ever call it a retire-
ment."
Retirement or not, Santiago can-
not wait for an event that that fea-
tures big-time professionals like
Bret "Hitman" Hart, Kevin Nash,
Mickey James, Jerry "The King''
Lawler,
Tommy

Public Praxis student advocates fair trade
By
MICHAEL GAROFALO
Features Editor
Students from Professor Peter-
Raoul's Public Praxis I: World
Poverty, Trafficking and Solidarity
class gathered last Thursday, Sept.
15 in a public, open setting to dis-
cuss fair trade goods.
The main speaker, Alanna Hen-
neberry, a public praxis minor,
showed video and discussed how
consumer goods are often made by
workers who are treated poorly and
barely make a living wage.
She advocated fair trade goods,
which are made under better condi-
tions and are more environmentally
sustainable. These products can
usually be identified with a fair
trade symbol.
"Once people realize how products
are made, I think it's natural for
people
to
want to buy products that
are made fairly and to know the sto-
ries behind them," Henneberry said.
MICHAEL
GAROFALO/THE CIRCLE
The purse In Henneberry's right hand is
made from recycled drink can tabs, ex-
actly
what
Peter-Raoul had talked about.
Henneberry believes that self
-
suf
-
ficiency for poorer nations is better
than reliance on donations, and that
economic and labor progress can be
made in these nations if consumers
choose fair trade goods.
Fair trade coffee is already offered
on campus at the Hancock Center's
Starbucks. While it may seem that
the cost would be higher due to
higher worker wages, the price is
determined only by size -
tall,
grande or venti.
Most coffee at Hancock is already
fair trade, one employee said.
Henneberry wore a fair trade
necklace and brought other fair
trade goods with her to the meeting,
including jewelry and a purse made
of recycled drink can tabs.
The latter is something that Peter-
Raoul supports.
"The centers for making recycled
goods help women who can get out
of the [brothel] industry to make
some money," Peter-Raoul said.
She hopes that people will not only
recognize the realities of labor in
these nations
,
but also decide to
help in some way.
In addition to fair trade goods,
Henneberry touted American-made
goods.
Professor of Psychology Sherry
Dingman, who attended the meet-
ing, believes that while fair trade
may cause small price increases,
they are usually negligible
to
con-
sumers and noticeably beneficial for
workers.
She said that 1.2 billion people
live on less than $2.50 each day.
Dingman believes that college stu-
dents in the Hudson Valley are "a
significant driving force of the econ-
omy in the Dutchess County," capa-
ble of creating enough of a demand
to
warrant a response.
She said that the decision to buy
fair trade is "absolutely voluntary."
"I don't think it works to dictate
from up high," Dingman said, be-
cause it usually just creates black
markets.
It doesn't make sense that apples
grown in the Hudson Valley are
more expensive than those shipped
from China, Dingman said, until
you consider wage differences.

Swap website is 'taking_ out the middle man'
By
MICHAEL GAROFALO
Features Editor
Combine the common complaint of
high textbook prices with one col-
lege student's business interest, and
the result is buying and selling the
old fashioned way - almost.
Former Marist student Scott
Kessler, now studying at the Uni-
versity at Albany, is the president
and creator of a new website called
Red Fox Swap. Kessler pioneered
the site at Albany under the name
Albany SW AP; RFS is the Marist
version of the same concept.
Marist students can visit a web-
site that serves as an online bulletin
board. They can post items for sale
or items they wish to buy.
"Last semester I paid a lot of
money for textbooks and the idea of
students swapping hooks with each
other kind of hit me," Kessler wrote
in an e-mail.
He turned to his friend and former
roommate, senior Jake Rifkin, to
bring his concept to the Marist com-
munity. Rifkin, who said that his
friend's "entrepreneurial spirit"
helped spark the idea, is the man-
ager ofRFS.
The site is not limited to text-
books. Furniture, video games, elec-
·
tronics and other goods may be sold
as well.
"Anything that you could possibly
think of selling, you can sell on
there," Rifkin said.
Kessler verified that there are
legal boundaries.
Rifkin believes that students will
be able to buy used textbooks for
less and sellers will make more
profit.
"That's the whole site - it's taking
out the middle man," he said.
Once deals are established, stu-
dents can meet in person on campus
to make sales, which means there
are no shipping costs.
He said that the site is similar to
MICHAEL
GAROFALO/THE
CIRCLE
Potential buyers and sellers may meet
on campus
to
elimlnate shipping~-
Craigslist, but "more refined and so
much easier."
"Be careful; as with anything.
Contact that person [via] phone or
e-mail," Rifkin said.
RFS and Albany SW AP are sepa-
rate, so students from the two
schools cannot use the site to make
cross-campus trades.
Although the website requires a
Marist e-mail account to register, it
is not affiliated or endorsed by the
college in any way. It is a privately
operated site.
While Rifkin and Kessler do not
profit in any way from individual
sales, which are a private contract
between two students, they can
profit from ads as the site gains
traffic.
Rifkin said one futon appeared for
sale on RFS, but the ad is no longer
posted. Since sales are private, he
has no way of knowing
if
it was suc-
cessfully sold.
Rifkin said that "student respon-
sibility is more the main key'' for the
success of RFS.
Kessler has plans for his <:_onc~pt
to grow in scope.
''I
do plan on expanding to other
schools, but only time will tell when
and whlch universities," Kessler
said in an e-mail.
The

website
is

cially opened on Aug. 31, 2011.
Wellness Fair offers variety of booths
By
MICHAEL GAROFALO
Features Editor
The prospect of free samples
drew many students to the Well-
ness Fair on Friday, Sept. 9.
The fair, held in the McCann Cen-
ter Auxiliary gym, featured booths
that displayed numerous aspects of
health, including nutrition, athlet-
ics, campus safety, sex and alcohol
use.
Law enforcement, local busi-
nesses, Dutchess County govern-
ment agencies and campus clubs
and organizations were present,
among many others.
Senior Bonnie Sloofman attended
her first wellness fair as a fresh-
man. Sloofman said that it can be
tough to lead a healthy lifestyle in
college. She tries to eat nutritious
food and exercise, but does not try
every single new health fad.
"It will make you crazy," she said.
Her main strategy is to "try some-
thing and see
if
you feel better."
"Whatever· works for you, I think,
is what's best," she said.
Yoga is what works for Elizabeth
Donahue, Associate Athletic Direc-
tor at Marist. She touted its stress
reduction benefits and said that she
uses at least one thing that she has
learned from yoga every day.
The fair was also an opportunity
to learn about health-related events
·
on campus.
Michael Johnson, SGA Senate
Speaker, was in charge of a booth to
promote a CPR training seminar
and alcohol education, both _part of
the Red Watch program, which took
place on Tuesday, Sept. 13 and
Wednesday, Sept. 14, respectively.

He said the program was inspired
by an incident in which a student

"We're not out to stop people from

gan for Red Watch.

Marist students see 'Billy Elliot' on Broadway
By
MICHELLE FERRELL
Circle
Contributor
On Sunday, Sept. 18, Marist stu-
dents
traveled
to
New York City to
see Billy Elliot on Broadway, as an
SPC
sponsored trip'.
The buses left
Marist early in the morning, giving
students
ample time to explore
Eighth Ave., grab a nice lunch, or
explore Times Square before arriv-
ing at the Imperial Theatre for the
matinee show.
Joseph Harrington played the role
of
"Billy,"
a young boy who tries to
excel
in
ballet despite the town's
and his family's judgment. The
story of
"Billy
Elliot" takes place in
northern England during the 1980s,
when miners went on strike in order
to prevent Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher's threats of closing the
coal industries and crushing the
unions. Many members of the Eng-
lish workforce were miners, includ
ing Billy's father and brother, and
manywere threatened daily by riot
police.
In the play, Billy's town is severely
affected as most of the people in the
town are out of work and on strike.
In the midst of the chaos, Billy
takes up ballet classes at the local
studio
without his
.
father knowing.
Finding out that he has a natural
talent and interest in the
art,
Billy
befriends the dance instructor,
Mrs.Wilkinson, and works along-
side her to
improve.
His father soon
finds out about the lessons, and
bans Billy from
continuing.
Mrs.
Wilkinson, however, encourages
Billy to do what he loves. He takes
private lessons with her in secrecy,
where he learns to open up while
dancing and to dance with emotion,
not only with steps.
Billy prepares to audition for the
Royal Ballet, a private and elite bal-
let school in London. When Billy's

family becomes aware of the audi-
tion, they. ban him from going,
ashamed that their boy would take
ballet lessons, especially because of
the town's and the family's circum-
stances. Billy's father realizes his
potential and the unique opportu-
nity he has to leave the ruined town
and do what he loves; "he could go
and he could shine."
The townspeople, scabs and strik-
ers, pitch in to send Billy on his
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. De-
spite disapproval, Billy and his fa-
ther travel to London where Billy
auditions for and is accepted to the
Royal Ballet.
The story sends the positive mes-
sage to do what you love and be who
you are, "Cause what the hell is
wrong with expressing
yourself ... being who you wanna
be?"
"Billy Elliot" was a fun and lively
production, with unique lighting,
sound effects and creative set
designs filled with exciting dances
and humor. The storyline was easy
for all Marist show-goers to under-
stand, as the boy left his home for
betteF opportunities. The students
found the show enjoyable, amazed
by the great deal of a $75 ticket
available to students for $25 -
a
deal all college students can appre-
ciate.
As
many show-goers were
first-year students, they were all ex-
cited by the trip and the experience.
'The
Magic,' controversial horror story, banned in Italy
Book Review
By
BRITTANY OXLEY
Circle Contributor
If
you were alone and in the dark,
would you invite the devil in to keep
you company? In what is now said
to be the scariest horror story in the
world, the short story, ''The Magic"
in volume one of "Thirteen" by
An-
drew Hannon, instructs you to do
just that.
"Thirteen" is made up of two vol-
umes; the first one is comprised of
113 short horror stories. The first
story in volume one, 'The Magic," is
a mere two pages long, but due to its
content, readers all over the world
are sometimes unable to finish it.
'The Magic" is a story in which the
reader is the main character in a
chilling dialogue with the devil. The
narrator of the story, who later re-
veals himself as the devil, asks the
reader to follow a set of instructions
at all times while reading, or else
"the magic" will not work.
The reader is instructed to be com-
pletely alone, turn off all the lights
except for the bare minimum
needed for reading, to close and to
lock the door, and to read the entire
story out loud. The narrator sets the
scene by describing how the reader
is all alone in the dark, and that he
is listening to the reader recite the
story aloud outside of his or her
locked door.
As the story continues, the devil
asks the reader to follow the final
and most alarming set of instruc-
tions. The reader is asked to con-
tinue reading and then to press his
or her ear against the locked door in
order to hear the devil breathing on
the other side.
If
the reader cannot
at first hear the devil breathing, the
devil responds in the book by eerily
saying,
''If
you can't hear me breath-
ing, it's probably because I'm hold-
ing my breath."
As
to not spoil the ending for any
prospective readers, I will only say
this: the last instruction of the story
is ridiculously horrifying and
.
be-
cause of this, most people are not
able
to
follow through with it. This
story is so terrifying that Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi banned it
in Italy, even though the last book
to have been banned by the Italian
government was in the 1940s.
"There
are forces at work here
which you
simply
wouldn't under-
stand, even if I tried to explain them
to you," said Berlusconi while
speaking at a conference about the
banning of "Thirteen."
'There is nothing you can say that
will justify banning a book! It is an
ignorant action and a muse of power
that could lead this country back to
a very dark place," a protesting re-
porter said in response to Berlus-
coni's comment.
This story has also struck up a re-
ligious controversy, not only in
Italy, but all over the world. Some
would say that the story should be
banned everywhere because it asks
for evil to come into your life and
therefore is considered wrong. Yet
others believe the story presents a
whole new revolution of how horror
stories can be told. Recently, there
has also been the release of volume
two of the series, in which the short
story called ''The Dare" is said to be
even creepier than "The Magic."
There is a slight change in the sec-
ond story where the reader will be
instructed to read 'The Dare" with a
group of friends.
Although only two pages, "The
Magic" is terrifying and psychologi-
cally frightening.
If
you are brave enough to try to
read what is said
to
be the scariest
book in the entire world, go to
http://thirteenhorror.com to down-
load or order a copy of ''The Magic,"
and if you want to continue the se-
ries afterwards, ''The Dare" as well.

R&B artist
'The
Weeknd' releases 'Thu~sday'
Album
Review
By
MATTHEW CASTAGNA
Circle Contributor
What is it about the mid-point of
2011 that seems to have inspired
such countless transitions from sim-
plistic beauty to intricate arrange-
ment? Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, Fleet
Foxes -
they all traded in their
bare-bones approach for vast com-
positions of aspiring complexity.
Even the simplest of their tunes are
layered in countless coats of sub-
movements and manipulation.
Toronto-based R&B artist Abel
Tesfaye, better known for his alter
ego guise, The Weeknd (yes, the "e"
is supposed
to
be absent), has :fol-
lowed in suit with the second edi-
·
tion
to
his trilogy of self-released
mix
tapes, ''Thursday." Moving from
stripped chambers of resonance to
aggressive rhythmic assertions,
Tesfaye has produced a truly im-
pressive work, which both boldly
broadens established vocations
while maintaining his trademark
sleazy, soul-based narrative
.
In late March, The Weeknd re-
leased "House of Balloons," a skele-
tal nine-song mix collection echoing
the remnants of two-step and pro-
gressive soul - a comfortable fit for
the American indie scene moving on
from a steady stream of under-
ground dub. Yet, "House of Bal-
loons" excels to more than stylistic
reworks of "Burialit and "How To
Dress Well;" it focuses on typical
R&B vocal delivery while intertwin-
ing mysterious indiscretions of drug
induced apparition. But, what re-
ally forces distinction is Tesfaye
himself, whose evasive persona,
both on and off stage, built an un-
paralleled level of personal interest.
Up until a few weeks ago, nobody
could surface a clean shot of the
man behind the music. All photo-
graphs were either diluted with
grain or nocturnally submerged. Re-
alizing this secrecy couldn't last for-
ever, Tesfaye decided to drop the
magic act and shoot for a more up-
front approach-and the music
shows it.
Instead of putting forth a faithful
recreation of the rustled undercur-
rents present in "House," ''Thurs-
day'' delivers a straightforward
barrage of multi-layered production
in a pedal-to-the-metal sort of effect.
The album opens
with
"Lonely
Star," the first of many rapid-fire se-
lections to deal with the title's sug-
gestion of cosmic isolation. Coasting
off of an intriguing "RoboCop" re-
work, Tesfaye weaves a fluid
falsetto playing against the jittery
muffle of countless synth-drops.
''It seems like pain and regret are
your best friends," begins a confi-
dent Tesfaye, turning the typical
party atmosphere into painful emis-
sions of masochistic indulgel').ces.
Like many of the best tracks on
"House," "Star" leaves you singing
the catchy hooks in the shower,
completely oblivious to the disturb-
ing undertones.
Unlike its predecessor, ''Thurs-
day" places a much greater empha-
sis on structural complexity and
dynamic evolution. "Life of the
Party'' steadily adds multi-narra-
tive strings until what began as a
straightforward buzz track ends as
a series of intractable vocal snippets
swiftly building to a dramatic halt.
''The Birds Part 1-Part 2" is un-
doubtedly the most involved piece of
indie music all year, encompassing
everything from traditional orches-
tration
to
snare raps
to
call-and-an-
swer vocal sampling to siren wails.
The self-titled track, however, is the
most impressive in terms of sonic
layering. The song places you in an
empty void of phonic terrain with
nothing about you but the haunting
vibe of electronic pin-drop echoes.
Slowly, Tesfaye begins to inject
snippets of muffled effect, ulti-
mately creating countless trails of
rhythmic direction constantly cir-
cling the listener-a truly masterful
work of engineering.
That's not to say that this album
only appeals to lovers of intense pro-
duction. The second half of the
record displays a more restrained
method, while spicing up old fa-
vorites. ''The Zone" offers a "tradi-
tional," laid-back post-dub loop that
could fit any after-party scenario.
Just
as
the beat is about
to
become
repetitive, Drake makes his sur-
prise appearance, capping the final
two minutes of the track with a
brief but standout verse, summing
up the entire running theme of sex-
ual torment in about 20 lines.
Pre-drop track ''Rolling Stone"
acts as an intimate intermission
track based around a gentle
acoustic sample. With very little
vocal effects (comparatively), the
bare chord progression allows Tes-
faye' s agonizing falsetto to hold cen-
ter attention for the first time on
the album. "I'll be different/I think
I'll be different/I hope I'm not differ-
ent," swoons a torn Tasfaye, out-
wardly confronting the inner-folds
of
loneliness
normally hidden be-
neath a shield of sexual conquest.
It's certainly the simplest track on
the album, but quite
.
possibly the
most effective.
So,
·
there we have it: an eclectic
nine-track compilation ranging
from vibrant electric currents to
vintage soul ballads. Although it
may not be as singular as its leg-
endary predecessor, ''Thursday" has
a lot to offer even to the most mod-
erate music fan. By mixing a wide
array of technical enhancements
with haunting confessions of ob-
scene aesires, The Weeknd contin-
ues to induce implosions of
emotional collapse over the foggy
phase of drunken mishaps and one-
night stands.
Stephen King releases a collection of terrifying short stories
Book Review
By

Stephen King is one of the greatest-
known American writers in the
country, and has written well over
40 books, all of which have sold
tremendously or been placed on The
New York Times bestseller list.
Stephen King is best known for
writing horror stories, and this
summer he released a new book
called "Full Dark, No Stars," which,
unsurprisingly for King, was also
deemed a best seller. The book is
~(/

_
lh
ft
."J,
q
►
FLICKR/SHADOWHELM
made up of four short stories:
"1922," "Big Driver," "Fair Exten-
sion," and "A Good Marriage."
"1922" is the first and easily the
best story in the collection. It is set
in 1922 and is about a man who
gruesomely kills and disposes of his
wife over an argument about land,
persuading his 14-year-old son to
help him. The killing not only af-
fects the husband and son, but the
neighbors and farm animals as well.
While reading this book, King pro-
vokes the reader to question
whether or not the husband and son
are being haunted, or if it is their
guilt that causes them to go mad
and suffer such
grim
circumstances.
King does a fantastic job of describ-
ing how his characters slowly turn
mad either from being haunted or
from guilt. This story is one of the
most gruesome and a page-turner
until the end.
"Big Driver" was my least favorite
story in the collection, but was still
hard to put down. It is about an au-
thor who, after taking a short cut
home from a book talk, is brutally
raped and left for dead by a strange
man. After escaping, she plans re-
venge on her rapist, but in the
process realizes that getting re-
venge can have major consequences
as well. The rape scene is very
graphic and, for some, may be hard
to read. However, King once again
·
does a magnificent job of portraying
the victim's feelings throughout the
incident and afterwards. He also
does a great job of making the
reader understand the victim's
growing insanity, making it feel
real and hauntingly relatable.
"Fair Extension" is about a man
suffering from cancer, who is fated
to die soon. While driving, he stops
at a business stand where a man,
who is really the devil, tells him he
can give him a 15-year cancer-free
life extension if he passes on bad
things to someone he hates. Shock-
ingly enough, the cancer-ridden
man agrees to accept the offer and
chooses to pass the bad things on to
his best friend from grammar
school. This book appears to be an
typical story about the devil taking
a man's soul; the book is unpre-
dictable, however, in that the char-
acter slowly loses his own soul due
to his actions. This story is very
easy to follow, but becomes more
horrifying and sadistic as it contin-
ues.
"A Good Marriage" is a story about
a husband and wife who have been
happily married for about 30 years.
Everything has been perfect in their
marriage, until the wife finds out
about her husband's shocking secret
in the garage while he's off on a
business trip. This story is my sec-
ond favorite in the collection be-
cause it is simple, yet gripping. It
leads the reader to question
whether you really know the people
living with you.
Each story's theme centers on how
you never truly know who the peo-
ple around you are, no matter how
close to you they may be. This
makes the stories extremely horri-
fying, because they are so realistic .
.
Each story causes the reader to
question the people around them,
and themselves. Would someone
you love betray you to get what he
or she wants, and vice versa? Is the
nice librarian secretly plotting
against you? Despite its horrifying
and graphic content, this book was
a fantastic read and by far one of
Stephen King's best works.

Pa&e 10
Mistakes costly as Red Foxes fall to Dayton
By
ERIC VANDERVOORT
Sports Editor
The Marist football team kicked
off their Pioneer Conference slate
with a loss at Dayton on Saturday.
The Red Foxes turned the ball
over twice in their own territory,
both leading to Dayton touchdowns.
Those proved to be the difference, as
the Flyers won 24-10.
"We continue to struggle with our
turnover margin," head coach Jim
Parady said. "We have to protect the
ball a little bit better and we have
to create more turnovers for our
side."
Marist has a minus-five turnover
margin the last two games.
A scoreless first quarter included
a big stop by the Marist defense as
Dayton tried for the end zone on
fourth and goal from the one-yard
line. Junior Terrence Fede was
there to stop the quarterback sneak.
"We had some flashes of bril-
liance," defensive coordinator Scott
Rumsey said. ''We were able to stop
them on a fourth and goal, we came
out and created a turnover after a
turnover, we stopped them coming
out of halftime, so overall we were
OK with our performance, but again
we were just a little disappointed in
the basic tenants of the defense that
we didn't get done as well as we
thought we should."
Marist got on the board first with
a 31-yard field goal by junior Jason
Myers. Dayton responded with 14
unanswered points
1
the second
touchdown on a drive the started at
the Marist 30-yard line due to a
fumble.
Sophomore quarterback Chuckie
Looney and the Red Foxes immedi-
ately responded with a four-play,
64-yard drive in the last minute of
the half. A Looney pass to Kevin
Fitzpatrick made the score 14-10.
12:41 into the second half, Looney
threw an interception that game the
Flyers the ball at the Marist 38.
Three plays later, the Red Foxes
found themselves down 21-10.
A fourth quarter Dayton field goal
brought the score to its final state at
24-10.
Looney finished the game com-
pleting 20 of 35 passes for 225 yards
with one touchdown and two inter-
ceptions.
Despite the Red Foxes' offensive
struggles, Looney remains first on
the depth chart at quarterback.
"All plans are for [Looney] to be
the starter," Parady said. "I know
Tommy can go in and he's more
than capable. We know we have to
be more productive on the offensive
side as far as points. You can't be
putting too much stress on the team
by only scoring 10 or 14 points in
the game. We're looking at all av-
enues
right now, but yes, he's the
starter."
Junior tight end Anthony Calgani
enjoyed a breakout game, almost
doubling his total career
yards.
He
caught five receptions for 79 yards
to earn a College Football Perform-
ance Award.
Calcagni's performance may have
surprised Dayton, but not Parady.
"Ever since he got his opportunity
last season you could see· his devel-
opment is coming," Parady said. "He
had a great offseason, he's been very
productive, he got bigger. He really
showed what his athletic abilities
are, and I think people will take no-
tice of that and cover
}tjm
more."
The coaching staff feels like they
are narrowing down the team's
weaknesses, and turning them
around is not far away.
"For us defensively it definitely
came down to a couple things,"
Rumsey said. "We didn't disrupt
their routes as well as we wanted to,
nor did we tackle as well as we
wanted to tackle. So I think those
are two very big parts of what we
need to do defensively."
"I
feel we're very close to the win,"
Parady said. "It's just a couple plays
here or there. In the last couple
weeks we haven't gotten it done in
the fourth quarter."
The Red Foxes will finally play a
home game this week, as they take
on non-conference foe Georgetown
at Tenney Stadium, Saturday at 1
p.m.
Georetown leads the all-time se-
ries 11-3, but the teams have split
the last four matchups. Marist beat
the Hoyas 23-21 the last time they
met in Poughkeepsie, and George-
town prevailed last season in Wash-
ington 14-7.
"Georgetown presents a lot of chal-
lenges offensively," Rumsey said.
"They have a very big tight end,
they're a no-huddle offense, they
run some option stuff, they pass the
ball well, their quarterbacks are rel-
atively athletic. So all of those
things combined, we'll have to be on
our A-game to be successful. All the
games have come down to a couple
points, so we have to make sure we
play all four quarters and all three
phases of the game are elicking."
The game is a part of Homecoming
weekend at
Marist.
''It'll be nice to be home. Being to-
gether as a complete football team
will
be nice and we'll be able to use
a few extra guys on special teams
that we haven't been able to travel
with. And being in front of the home
crowd, hopefully we'll get a great
student turnout."
Cross country competes at Iona Meet of Champions
By
ZACH DOOLEY
Circle Contributor
The Marist Men's Cross Country
team hit the ground running this
fall with their overall championship
at the Marist Invitational in early
September. The Red Foxes followed
it up this past weekend with a more
than respectable ninth place finish
at the Iona Meet of Champions in
Van Cortlandt Park located in the
Bronx,
N.Y.
Marist competed admirably
against some of the top teams in the
Northeast, including Iona, which is
currently ranked fourth in the na-
tion. Despite not having their full
array of top runners in the race,
Marist finished in the top half of
teams at the meet, improving on a
15th place finish in the same meet
last season.
The overall champion was Iona,
which came as no surprise, followed
by Brown in
a
distant second
and
the University at Albany finishing
third. Leonard Kohir of Iona was
the meet's individual champion
with a time of 24:27.95, with a win-
ning time 30 seconds faster than
any other competitor.
Top finishers for the Red Foxes in-
cluded junior standout Arquimedes
DelaCruz, who was Marist's top fin-
isher, placing 16th overall with a
five-mile time of 25:38. 72, which
comes in only 12 seconds over his
personal best time at Van Cortlandt
Park, which he set during ECAC
Championships last season.
"I felt pretty good during the race,"
Dela Cruz said. "The team as a
whole has been training hard, so the
race was just like another workout
for us. It's early in the season, and I
believe this race showed that we
have a lot of potential to be very
good towards the end of the season.
The
team performed great, even
without the help of a couple key
guys."
Other notable performers for
Marist were sophomore Ken Wal-
shak who was the 37th overall fin-
·
isher, coming in 18 seconds behind
DelaCruz, as well as Junior Mike
Nicoletti, who had a career day at
Van Cortlandt Park, with a final
time of 31 seconds under his per-
sonal record on the course.
.
On the women's side, the Red
Foxes ran their way to their highest
finish since 2003. Marist finished
seventh out of 19 teams, led by
freshman Michelle Gaye. Gaye fin-
ished 11th overall in a time of
22:58. 7 4 for the 6K course.
Senior Addie DiFrancesco and
freshman Erin Thompson were the
next Red Foxes to cross the finish
line, placing consecutively at 29th
and 30th, respectively.
''I thought the team did very well
on Saturday," team captain Brian
Townsend said. "We sat out two of
our top runners and still managed
to compete very well with the rest of
the field. Also,
-
overall there were
just great times posted from the
team."
Despite the positive signs,
Townsend admits there is a need for
improvement as the season pro-
gresses.
''I definitely think there is room for
improvement. It's still very early in
the season and we've been doing a
lot of training recently, which will
pay off huge later on down the line."
Looking forward, the Red Foxes
will return to actioh this Saturday
at the Central Connecticut Invita-
tional in New Britain, Conn.
Marist men's soccer had a roller coaster week
By
STEVE
$ABATO
Circle Contributor
This most recent four-game
stretch for the Marist Red Foxes has
been nothing
if
not eventful. Goal-
keeper Steve Skonieczny and for-
ward Lucas Szabo were named to
the All-Tournament Team at the
ProRehab Aces Soccer Classic in
Evansville, Ill. They have begun a
home winning-streak, with their 2-0
defeat of NJIT, and were handed a
7-0 rout at the hands of Yale in New
Haven. The Red Foxes Men's Soccer
team has posted a record of 2-1-1
after opening their home schedule
with a 3-1 victory over the Adelphi
Panthers, on Sept. 4.
Upon dispatching the Panthers,
the Red Foxes traveled out to
Evansville,
ill.,
where they partici-
pated in the ProRehab Aces Classic,
hosted by the Evansville Aces, who
the Foxes defeated 1-0. The lone
scorer in the game was Stephan
Brossard, who netted the game-win-
ner in the 11th minute, from eight
yards out, off of the Troy Confessore
assist. Steve Skonieczny stopped all
six of Evansville's shots on net, al-
lowing Brossard's goal to be the de-
ciding factor.
Their match verus Southern Illi-
nois-Evansville was a draw, where
both goals were scored after the
69th minute. Travis Hoguet of SIE
scored on a cross from Matt Polster
in the 70th minute, and Lucas
Szabo scored on an assist from
Stephan Brossard in the 72nd
minute. Steve Skonieczny matched
his save total from the first game of
the tournament, making six.
Coming home from Illinois, the
Foxes handed a 2-0 defeat to the
NJIT Highlanders. This game saw
something of a youth movement for
the Red Foxes as their goals were
scored by freshman Matt Wen-
delken and sophomore Nicholas
Fedus. For each, it was their first
goal of the season.
"I was pleased with our effort
tonight, we didn't have a lot of en-
ergy coming off the trip," head coach
Matt Viggiano said via quotes dis-
tributed by http://goredfoxes.com,
"now we have to be road warriors."
The team will now head out on a
roadtrip where it will start in the
Bronx against Fordham, work its
way up to Connecticut to face Hart-
ford, and then end in Buffalo, where
they will take on Canisius and Ni-
agara.
The Foxes traveled to New Haven
after defeating NJIT 2-0, where
they were beaten soundly by the
Yale Bulldogs. Brad Rose and Jen-
ner Fox each had two goals for the
Bulldogs. Steve Skonieczny allowed
five goals on eight shots on net, and
Joe Ruocco allowed two goals on
three shots on net.
The Red Foxes will travel to the
Bronx on Sept. 21 to take on the
Fordham Rams at 7 p.m., where
they play their first of five straight
games on the road.

Quick hits of the week in Marist athletics
Women's Soccer
The Mari.st Women's soccer team
kept rolling with two wins this
weekend in the Red Fox Invita-
tional. The Lady Foxes followed up
a 2-0 win over Cornell on Friday
with a 1-0 win over Lafayette on
Sup.day to tie Hartford both with
two wins ahd a +3 goal differential
for the tournament title.
A huge crowd filied Tenney Sta-
dium as Marist took to the field
against Cornell in their first game
of the weekend.
Marist barely
missed on several chances in the
first half, the best of which being a
header from senior captain Kate
Hannis off of a Kylee MacIntosh
cross that was narrowly turned
away by Cornell. Despite dominat-
ing in both possession and shots, the
game was scoreless at the half.
Cue in Amanda Epstein.
Just two minutes into the second
half of play, the freshman forward
Epstein headed a Rycke Guiney free
kick into the back of the net which
propelled Marist to a 1-0 lead which
they would not relinquish. Epstein
tacked on her second of the evening
for good measure in the 67th minute
when she buried junior Jessie Ara-
bia's cross following some beautiful
passing from the
Red
Foxes.
Junior goalkeeper Caitlin Lands-
man
did the rest as Marist pre-
serve.cl the shutout and vaulted to
the top
of
the standings in the four-
team tournament, and set the stage
for Sunday's game with Lafayette.
Despite
a loss to
Hartford
on Fri-
day afternoon, the Lafayette Leop-
ards were certainly a strong test for
Mari.st with their 4-2 record and
stellar defensive play.
The Red
Foxes, however, were undaunted
and came away with a 1-0 victory to
earn their share of the title.
Mari.st again controlled the play
early on, but was once again denied
on several quality scoring chances.
Lafayette goalkeeper made several
strong saves on Epstein, Hannis
and Jackie Frey to keep the game
scoreless early, until substitute
Mariah Downey buried a rebound
off of a shot from Epstein to put
Marist ahead.
The
goal was the first of the sea-
son for the senior midfi.ehler and
Epsteirt earned her first career as-
sist to go along with a team leading
4 goals. Lafayette never truly
threatened in the second half, and
Landsman was able to earn her sec-

For her efforts,

ing all scorers with 2 goals and 5
points. In addition, Landsman,
freshman midfielder Marjana Mak-
suti and freshman defender Melissa
Martins were named to the all-tour-
nament
team along with Epstein.
The Lady Foxes are in action
again next Friday when they travel
to Bucknell to kick off a stretch of
four road games, before returning
home Oct. 7 to take on St. Peters in
MAAC play.
Volleyball
In
another successful weekend for
a women's sports team at Marist,
the women's volleyball team earned
victories on the road over both Rider
and Loyola to open up MAAC play.
A 3-1 win at Rider followed up by a
3-2 win on the road at Loyola put
Mari.st at the top of the standings as
one of only three unbeaten teams.
After dropping the first set to
Rider, Mari.st was able to run the
next three on the Broncs. A nail-bit-
ing third set swung the momentum
to the Red Foxes, and they never
looked back, with a convincing win
in the deciding fourth set. Senior
Joanna Foss had a team high 11
kills and sophomor

ing up with senior Erin McCarthy

but certainly had a strong showing
for the Red Foxes against stiff com-
petition.
Don't call it the Mccann Center anymore, Murray says
opposite corners, the boards are 10
feet by 15 feet. Another video board
will be installed as the panel at the
front of the scorer's table.
"We were able to really maximize,
for our size arena, our video
boards," Murray said. "I'm very ex-
cited for what they will be able to do
in terms of experience for our fans."
Another addition to come: an area
to accommodate TV cameras, which
will be constructed above the cur-
rent locations of coaches' offices.
There have been several other ren-
ovations outside of the arena itself.
The entrance to the building was
completely overhauled. The lobby
features the same style wood panel-
ing that is in the entrance of the
Hancock Center, the academic
building that opened last spring.
'We wanted to create more of a
sense of entrance. We've created a
lot more circulation space in the
lobby, which we'll need, because
we've lost it m the arena."
Bathroom lines in the lobby will
no longer be an issue, as the bath-
rooms have been drastically ex-
panded and moved to the side
hallway parallel to the court. The
old women's bathroom had five
stalls; the new one has 20.
Still under construction is an ex-
pansion that will house offices,
locker rooms and a film theater for
the basketball programs.
The renovations are providing ex-
citement for all aspects of the
Mari.st Athletics community.
"I think it brings a renewed en-
ergy for the students," Dillon said.
"People are really excited for the
first volleyball game on Friday, and
there's already hype heading into
the Villanova game [the women's
basketball home opener]."
Women's basketball coach Brian
Giorgis is thrilled with the upgrade.
"It's a great makeover," Giorgis
said. "It's beautiful. The main thing
that we hope is that the student
body embraces it and sits there and
looks to do their part to help be our
sixth man. We get great community
support, and our support from the
student body has been getting bet-
ter and better.
If we can get the stu-
dent body involved, especially with
them over by the visiting bench,
they'll definitely have a role during
timeouts or during the game. They
can really make this place a great
collegiate atmosphere."
The athletics department is host-
ing a "Sneak Peek" of the arena on
Thursday, Sept. 22 at 5:30 p.m. The
event is open to the public.

New McCann Arena almost complete

Sports Editor
The days of basketball games at
the McCann Center are over.
Now, it's the McCann Arena.
The home of the Marist basketball
teams, as well as the volleyball
team, went under a massive reno-
vation
over the summer.
"What I think we've created is one
of
the finest on-campus arenas in
the Northeast," Athletics Director
Tim Murray said in a tour on Tues-
day.
''When we write about it and
talk about it now, it's the McCann
Arena. I think that makes us a little
more special than the other teams
that we compete against that don't
have arenas."
The reconstruction on the James
J.
McCann Center, which was built
in 1977, started when the main en-
trance was closed on April 17. Mur-
ray said the entire place was gutted
and cleared out.
A full wood floor was installed, re-
placing the original flooring that
was still in place
.
The new bleach-
ers are now individual chairs with
backs on the east and west side and
benches on the north and south. All
of the seating is retractable.

said, "and equally as important, we
wanted to provide a great venue for
our general students to use."
The gym will now feature three
full
basketball courts when the seat-
ing is pushed back that will be open
for general use.
Despite the new seating, the
arena's capacity will remain 3,200

What was lost on the east and west
sides was made up for with the
higher and wider bleachers behind
the baskets.
The student section will now be lo-

team.
"I'm excited to see the reaction of
the teams that come in, because

ray said.
Murray also said that circulation
and tight spaces for people

in has always been an issue, but he
wanted to keep the same proximity

to
the court
.
To solve this, people will now be

tion to get to the opposite side of the
court as opposed to walking directly

.
"It'll be much easier to circulate
around the building, and at the
same time have more seats tighter

Another major addition will be the
new scoreboards. Though not in
place yet, two LED video boards will
be installed before the start of the
basketball season. The boards will
show the score and time during play
and will be capable of instant re-
play, animation and graphics dur-
ing dead ball situations
