Within the past year, internet
book retailers have blanketed
the airwaves with advertise-
ments for their
services.
VaristyBooks.com states that
students can save up to
40
per-
cent off of bookstore prices.
ECampus.com promises 50 per-
cent off and free shipping.
An-
other
online
retailer,
Bigwords.com, advertises free
shipping
and up to
40
percent
off its books.
But are the advantages and
savings really worth it?
According
to
Chris Ranz, man-
ager of the bookstore, there are
some cases where new books
will be cheaper from the online
stores than from college
book-
stores.

This spring, the Marist com-
munity will celebrate an event
that has been two years in the
making.
The new James A. Cannavino
Library is scheduled to be dedi-
cated on Saturday, May 6. Ac-
cording to John McGinty, the
Library Director, the dedication
will be a highlight of the aca-
demic year.
"It will be a major event, for
students and alumni alike,"
McGinty
said.
At the groundbreaking cer-
emonies for the
library
in mid-
1998, there were more
than
three
hundred
people in attendance.
Mr. McGinty estimates that for
the dedicatiorr, the number will
reach, and possibly surpass,
one
thousand.
"I think that a lot of alumni will
alumni interest in this library,"
he said.
A committee is being formed
to arrange the details of the
dedi-
cation and to invite
dignified
guests, such as
Mr.
Cannavino.
It
is anticipated that Mr.
Cannavino will give a keynote
address. By the end of March,
most of the details of the cer-
emony will be ironed out.

plans call for an
expanded facility
by
KATHERINESLAUfA
Staff Writer
The student population seems
to have grown greater and
greater each year. With this in-
crease comes the problem of
housing. Students all around
campus are forced into build-up
rooms causing much discomfort
and cramping in living quarters.
It would seem that if the student
population continued to climb
there would be no housing avail-
able for upperclassmen. Fortu-
nately, a solution is being built.
Marist College is in the pro-
ce ss of building a new
townhouse complex.
Presently
named "West Cedar
Il,"
this new
living area will
be
the nicest
housing
development
on
the
campus. The building site is
located up the
road from the
present West Cedar. It will
house 240 upperclassmen in six
buildings.
The buildings will be
very similar to the present West
Cedar both in appearance and
content;
however,
there will be
a few differences
.
'There will be different ameni-
ties, such as upgraded furni-
ture," said Sarah English, the
Director of Housing.
In addition to the townhouses,
a convenience area is also in
planning. This area will offer
computer stations where stu-
dents living in either West Ce-
dar complex may work, rather
than
trek.king
across Route
9
to
use the
Donnelly
or
Lowell
Thomas labs. It will also have a
coffee bar and store so that stu-
dents will not have to travel far
for simple necessities, such as
milk and bread. A video rental
store may also
tie
placed in there
as well.
Marist is also keeping the
student's fitness in mind. En-
glish said a new fitness center
with cardiovascular machines
will be added to this new West
Cedar area.

stu-
dents with the opportunity to

Mr.
Cannavino, who is a former
chairman of Marist's Board of
Trustees, donated three million
dollars to the library, the largest
single gift in Marist College his-
tory
.
With that generous dona-
tion,
it
was decided by the trust-
ees of Marist that the library be
named for him. Mr. Cannavino
worked for IBM for several years
and is ci,mently the president
and CEO of a company that pro-
vides security for businesses
that use e-commerce.
Mr. McGinty stressed the impor-
tance of the event and noted
that the long period of waiting
for the library has been worth it.
"It
will
be a great event and I am
looking forward to it. It will be
the culmination of a lot of hard
work," he said.
MIPO:
Accuracy

Miringoff attributes the suc-
cess of MIPO to the poll's ac-
curacy.
"Our polls are the most accu-
rate and we've built up a repu-
tation for accuracy," he said.
"Our
polls are the
most accurate and
we've

a
reputation for

racy."
- Lee Miringoff
"We also make ourselves very
available to the media."
WNBC 4 reporter Ralph Penz.a
frequently cites MIPO polls in
his reports.
"The Marist polls stand the
test of time and show reliabil-
ity," Penza said. "They [the
polls] are the work of serious
dedicated people and the work
is excellent."
A poll that gained both MIPO
and Marist much recognition
was whether or not Hillary
Clinton should appear on The
Late Show with David
Letterman.
"We released the poll at 9 a.m.
and by noon she [Hillary] an-
nounced that she would appear
on the show. Most of the politi-
cal community thinks she gave
in because the poll said she
should," Miringoff said.
MIPO
is unique in that under-
graduate students are involved
in each poll. Over 200 Marist
students poll for MIPO.
"Marist students are able to
gain a front row seat to the
po-
litical process," Miringoff said.
Upcoming MIPO polls include

tant Qiana Watson came to the
SGA office to fill out a student
complaint form.
After a recent injury left her
on crutches, Watson found her-
self unable to walk to class dur-
ing the past weeks' icy condi-
tions. Seeking assistance, she
called Security, Special Services,
and the Housing department,
none of which were able to help
her.
According to Hunter, the ra-
tionale that Special Services
gave for not offering assistance
is that they only deal with dis-
abilities, whether they are physi-
cal or mental, inside the class-
Hunter said that he is not sat-
isfied with such rationale.
"I'm not
particularly
happy
with the answers I'm getting,"
said Hunter. "I would like to see
a policy that, during inclement
weather, if [a student] on
crutches calls [security] need-
ing an escort to class that they
will
be
given one
.
Even
if
they
are late, at least they have been
to class."

he is dissatisfied with the cur-

behind it.

"In
extreme cases of weather
where it is icy it shouldn't be a
problem helping students on
crutches get to class," said
Uryonwicz.
Though the Senate is not
unanimous in its support of a
new escort policy, Hunter is
confidant that devising one is
possible
.
"From some members I've got-
ten strong opinions that agree
with me, others that feel there
shouldn't be a policy

" said
Hunter. "It's a mixed bag at this
point, but I'm optimistic that it
can work."

Special to the Circle
We celebrate this holiday
ev-
ery year.
For most of us it
means
a
day off or
sales
at the
Poughkeepsie
Galleria.
President's
Day falls on the
third Monday of February
ev-
ery year,
but do we
really
know
why we observe
this
holiday?
It
was originally
"celebrated"
in 1796
to
commemorate our first
president's, George Washing-
ton,
Birthday. Washington was
born on February
22,
1732, ac-
cording
to the new calendai:.
Today, however, we observe his
birthday on the third Monday
of February, whether it falls on
the twenty-second or not.
By the early nineteenth cen-
tury Washington's Birthday
was seen as a genuine national
holiday. Americans would eel-
Abraham Unco/n
ebrate by holding "Birth night
Balls," giving speeches, holding
receptions and a lot of partying
in taverns across the land.
A few decades later, Abraham
Lincoln became the sixteenth
president. He was born on the
twelfth of the month. His birth-

day was first observed in 1865,
almost a year following his as.-
sassination. Both houses of the
Congress gathered for a memo-
rial address. Lincoln's birthday
was not a national holiday like
Washington's, but it was a legal
holiday in numerous states.
In
1968 legislation was enacted
that affected several national
holidays,
including
Washington's Birthday, now of-
ficially celebrated on the third
Monday of the month. The act
went into effect in 1971. It was

seen as a day off, and is rarely
used as a time for reflection on
what former presidents have done
for the United States. But have
we stopped to think about all the
wonderful things our great lead-
ers have done for our country.
Where would we be
without Washington's direction in
the Revolutionary War, Lincoln's
example during the Civil War, or
FDR's work plans?
We often fail to recognize and ap-
preciate what these men have
done for us. Maybe we should
take some time this President's
Day to think about our selected
leaders and what they have done
for us. One look at the presidents
today should tell us that these
guys from the past were really
something special.

Po'town at night... what a
sight!
I
am currently finishing
up
my final days here at Marist
in the -lovely city of
Poughkeepsie and
I
am trying
to savor every moment of it.
Last night I did a bit of sa-
voring at the "Backstreet Pub"
on Parker Street. I am what
you could call a "regular" at
this establishment so it is a bit
of a trouble for me to simply
review one night, because af-
ter a while,
they all seem to run together.
In
any event, I know I can write
a better review than that dude
did in the last edition!! !
We all (us 21 year olds, that
is) know that there are a few
things that are wrong with the
Poughkeepsie Bar Scene.
Yet,
in my final days, I would
like to reflect on the positive
aspects of the bar scene here
in the city of trees. For one,
there are not too many places
in
this free world where one
can go out to the local tavern
and stay out until 4 o'clock!
Second of all,
what is the point of going out
and complaining? Shut up
and Jnake the best of it! Now
that I have expressed myself,
lets continue.
In
my opinion, Backstreet
is a very decent place. The
prices for beer and drinks are
extremely cheap. There is a
deal there every night, but
Thursday seems to be the big
night with the $3 pitcher pro-
motion.
This Thursday night I de-
cided to check out the scene
over at
Backstreet.
There was
a .good amount of people
there, but
it was not too
crowded. I showed
up at around midnight, after
Bel d
7/hou
OD
doing
some
serious
homework ... because school is
#1 baby! Every one there
seemed to be in a jovial mood.
There
was
a
DJ
doing
a decent job, yet I thought that
the music was a bit loud. The
bartenders, who both attend
Marist, were busy, yet atten-
tive to every person's order.
The pool table was recently
re-felted and there was a long
wait for a game. Since pool is
not my game, I decided to use
my quarters on the "mega
touch" machine. "Mega
Touch", for you novelists out
there, is a modern day video
vending machine with a vari-
ety of games such as trivia,
photo hunt, solitaire, etc.
After close to an hour on the
machine and three dollars in
quarters I proceeded to head
over to the bar and check out
the scene. Things seemed to
be going well until an inebri-
ated "townie" began to run his
mouth at my friends and
I.
However, an ugly situation
was averted as the bartenders
and bouncers, who are also
scholars that attend Marist
,
handled the situation in a very
professional manner. With
that being taken care of, I sat
at the bar for the rest of the
night with my friends and had
a very relaxing and enjoyable
time. At around 3:30 I left and
went home. Overall, I give
the
"Backstreet Pub" a thumbs
up.
It
is a fun time and I chal-
lenge any one, townies in-
cluded, to a game on the "Mega
touch."
Patrick is a senior Adver-
tising/journalism major and a
regular at Backstreet. He
claims to be a Mega touch
champion
,
but the townies
could probably take him.

Horoscopes
ARIES
You've been under a little bit of
stress
lately.
You may not
have even noticed, but now that
it's
gone, don't you feel better?
It's like not having a headache
any more. Only trouble
is,
you
want to do two things now.
Choose the easier one.
·
TAURUS
You've had a few busy days.
Now you' 11 be wiser to settle
down, relax and muH over what
you've recently learned. This is
a good night for reviewing the
material. It's also pretty good for
entertaining, but not on an inti-
mate level. Save that for this
weekend.
n
GEMINI
Don't launch a new endeavor
quite yet. Do a little more plan-
ning first.
If you think out
all
the
various scenarios, you 'II save
yourself a lot of trouble. You
might save a lot of time and
money, too. Learn vicariously.
CANCER
You have a few big decisions to
make. Trouble
is,
they can't
make up their minds! Guess
you're not going to let them
decide for you. It would be nice,
but not really. You're the only
one who really knows what's
best for you. Do it.
LEO
You may feel
cramped.
Why
should you have to modify your
magnificence, just because of
somebody else? Well, it might
be a good idea if you did. You
have just about everything fig-
ured out, but there could be one
last thing. This will give you fits
until you get it.
VIRGO
You're under pressure at work.
Crank, to make sure everything
gets done perfectly and on time.
You always like to do the best
job you can, but you don't have
to do it all by yourself. Get a
team
working with you, and your
success is even more assured.
LIBRA
A lot is going on today, and
you're popular. Everybody
wants you to
be
part of their
team. You could entertain at
home. That's the best location
for a romantic interlude
-
if that
gives you any ideas.
SCORPIO
This will be one of those days
when you have to think things
over carefully. Don't let any-
body push _you into moving
more quickly than absolutely
necessary. A couple of people
want to give it a try.but do what
you want.
SAGITTARIUS
You want to get moving, but
you're stuck. You can-'t travel
because you have to work. You
want to stretch your legs and
your mind, but you're trapped
in a box. Try not to bite
anybody's head off; just go for
a long walk when you can.
CAPRICORN
Money, money, money. Your
money, other people's money,
truces and investments. What to
do? Well, you're going to grow
up to be good at this, if you' re
not already. You have a natural
talent. Today,
study.
AQUARIUS
There could be a bit of a struggle
today. You may want
to
delegate
some of your responsibilities,
but you may not be sure how.
You and your mate could get
into an argument about who's
doing what'. Share the load, but
keep the responsibilities if you
can.
PISCES
You've been getting along fine
with your friends and loved
ones, but you might get a little
more reserved for the next few
weeks. Focus on your work to-
day, and the romance should
take care of itself. You don't have
to
be
aggressive. It'll come to
you.

Dear Editor,
Are people are certainly becoming aware, enormous innovations are occurring
in technology. There truly is something of a technological revolution occurring
in the country and the world.
However
,
what I do suspect people fully realize is that the same is true with
regard to technological innovation useful for espionage purposes. It is my view
that world espionage organizations now have technological capabilities that
allow them to demonstrate more power in influencing the affairs of societies than
ever before in hlstory.
All the secret satellites regularly being sent up into space likely allow world
espionage organizations increased powers to control societies. I suspect many
of the technologies present on these satellites would ~hock people with regard
to how powerful they are in influencing events on earth.
'
One technology I believe is currently present is a technology called
,
"Mind
Control Technology."
I
believe this technology is now developed to such a
degree that the CIA and other world espionage organizations can influence the
thought processes in people
's
minds. Consequently, I suspect these organiza-
tions can dramatically influence the outcomes of elections in
s
upposedly free
democratic societies.
I feel the public hould be made more aware of these possibilities.
It
seems that
the United State's news providing industries have been unusually silent with
regard to reporting on the state-of-the-art technological capabilities of espionage
organizations.
I
also suspect it is no longer safe to watch television or listen to radio without
risking being unknowingly influenced in views and attitude.
Sincerely
,

Welcome to the
Patrick
Whittle News Hour. I'm your
host, Patrick Whittle.
Now the top stories of the
week. John McCain's darkhorse
campaign continues to pick up
steam despite a minor setback
in the Delaware primary, as the
public tires of George W. Bush's
mock-compassionate conserva-
tive babble. Elian Gonzalez is
still in the custody of his drunk,
ex-con relatives in Miami, and
will likely stay there as candi-
dates grovel for contributions
from the corrupt Cuban
Ameri-
can National Foundation.
Former Indonesian dictator
Suharto may be on the verge of
being finally brought

having been brought up on
charges of corruption.
And most importantly, in tragic
news: Jim Varney has died!
In case you have not heard
(and you had better have a good
excuse), the comic genius who
portrayed genial redneck Ernest
P.
Worrell in a myriad of mov-
ies, televisions shows, specials
and commercials, succumbed
to lung cancer last Thursday.
As
if you couldn't tell from his
voice, he was a heavy smoker.
The news comes as a shock to
a generation who grew up with
Ernest, always accompanied by
his
off-camera friend Vern (who
I always thought was under-
stood to be the viewer of the
program), as he meandered
through life with a happy-go-
stupid attitude and tremendous
ambition to do right. A true sign
of accomplishment in life is to
be made spo.rt of on
The
Simpsons (to which he occa-
sionally lent his voice), and
Varney was a target of abuse
from Groening and Co., insinu-
ating that his career was going
downhill with mock titles like
Ernest Goes Somewhere
Cheap. Vamey's death, at age
50, brings to a close another
chapter in the ever-shortening
book of wholesome entertain-
ment that
is

Varney any time soon. Varney
was human,

Ernest was viceless, and hap-

appearances at childrens hos-

lot of the same true colors.
"Ernest is a neighbor or rela-

Classic Ernest:
*Playing both the hero and
villain in
Ernest Goes to Jail.
* A running skit from his Sat-
urday morning show
(Hey Vern,
Its Ernest!) in which he would
ask the barber for a haircut that
would make
him
look like a Wall
Street tycoon, and the barber
would mishear
him
and give him
a ridiculous haircut. For ex-
ample, he once emerged with his
hair styled to look like a wed-
ding cake because the barber
thought he sai(l make me look
like a wedding in June.
*The unforgettable turtle-
bombing scene in his first fea-
ture film,
Ernest Goes to Camp.
(Death from above-all right!)
*His middle name-Powertool.
His acting career began young,
at age 8, and he plied his trade
off-Broadway and as a stand-
up comic when he moved to
New York City at 18. More re-
cently he provided the voice for
Slinky Dog in the
Toy Story
movies, and he will appear post-
~umously in Billy Bob Thorton's

In 1984, he told the Associ-
ated Press, It's a lovely outfit
that can be worn gracefully six
days a week.
Vllfl!ey's comic wit and price-
less expressions harked back to
a
pre-South Park era of humor,
when the concept of entertain-
ment was something more than
drawings that curse. He might
not have been a genius, (al-
though he did want to foray into
Shakespeare) in the traditional
sense of the word, Varney was
something more: consistently
funny. As Ernest, he made the
unfunny become hilarious, the
impossible possible, the stupid
not only plausible but essential.
As himself, he was the personi-
fication of sincerity and inno-
cence. His legacy will be the
thousands, young and old, who
laughed at life with him.

carried it the full length of the
field in under four minutes.
Thomas fought hard to win the
first touchdown of the day, fol-
lowed by a successful kick for
an extra point The score became
7-3, with the Bills ahead.
In the 4th quarter, the 49ers
were forced to punt early on,
sending
the dizzied Bills back to
their own 20-yard line. Winter's
coaching instincts warned him
to play it safe, make first downs,
and run the clock away. How-
ever, the offensive effort was
not able to go the distance. The
Bills found themselves in a
fa-
miliar Super Bowl predicament;
Scott Norwood was forced to
kick a field goal from 55 yards
out.
And,
true to life, Norwood's
kick was no good:
wide right!
"That was key," said Stephen
Palmer, a spectator.
A
fury of excitement filled our
usually low-key living room. Cox
and his 49ers jumped off the
bench, guns blazing. Only two
minutes remained for his team
to prove their worthiness to

Montana's delivery from thin

He weaved in and out of
defenders, cutting back and
forth as if he were a surgeon or
somesuch physician. The ball
was brought to the 5-yard line
with a minute to go.
In
an emotionally inspiring ef-
fort, Montana made a great play.
Finding no open defenders, he
decided to take matters into his
own hands. Montana ran the
ball out of the pocket, the deter-
mination visible in his glaring
eyes, only to viciously collide
with Bennett at the 1-yard line.
"That's a testament to how
bad Montana wants to win this
game," ballyhooed Cox of his
celebrated quarterback.
Unfortunately for the 49ers,
Bills Defensive End Bruce Smith
had the same aspirations ofleav-
ing the game victorious. He
sacked Montana ten yards away
from the line of scrimmage leav-
ing them at 4th and
11
with 10
seconds left in the Super Bowl.
With one play left to go, Cox
looked over the condition of his
players, hoping to find some
possible advantage. Both
coaches paced the sidelines,
dazed by the level of tension in
the
air.
"Here goes nothing ... " said
Cox.
In
what would be the final play
of the game, Montana stepped
backed, scanning left and right
for an open man in the end zone.
Hurried by Smith, the quarter-
back hurled the ball
to Craig, and
it was incomplete.
As Winter got doused by a
cooler filled with Gatorade, Paul

Good Reviews of a View From the
.
Bridge
by
DOUGLAS M.DEISS,JR.
Staff Writer
The only person who would
not
be
moved by MCCTA's per-
formance this past weekend
would be a heartless one. The
MaristCollege Council~fThe-
atre Arts put on the_play
A
View
From
the Bridge
in only a way
the playwright Arthur Miller
himself could have imagined.
The play opens to find the au-
dience in the middle of a small
neighborhood in New York City.
As the townspeople walk up
and down the street, the
audience's eyes focus on one
particu
l
ar character, the lead,
Eddie Carbone. The set was
beautifully constructed to allow
the neighborhood to interact
with the
mam
characters. When
the scenes move from the neigh-
borhood to the house where
most of the story takes place, it
is done so subtly that if you
aren't paying attention you may
miss it. The scenes are so siin-
plistic that they allow the viewer
to not get caught up in the ob-
jects around the actors, but con-
centrate on the actors them-
selves.
It
is the townspeople
that help move the set on and
off the stage, which adds depth
to how important they really are
to
the story. It helps the audi-
ence see just how vital the
neighborhood is to Eddie and
his life.
Eddie, played by Christopher
Yapchanyk, takes us into the
mind of ahard:w-orking man who
lives with his wife and their
niece. With characteristics simi-
lar to that of Al Pacino, Chris
does a wonderful job of display-
ing just who this man Eddie
Carbone really is. The audience
is torn apart as the play
progresses. We feel Eddie's
pain and his conflict. To sit
there emotionless would
be
a
task impossible for most.
The rest of the acting is
equally as moving. There is con-
flict in everyone surrounding
Eddie. Katie McQuade bril-
liantly
portrayed Eddie's wife.
lbrough her acting, it is evident
the turmoil that she too has to
deal with. She watches her hus-
band fall apart at the seruns. The
audience equally feels her ten-
sion thanks to the facial expres-
sions and vocal tones that
McQu!}de uses. Along with her
is the talented acting of every-
one involved. There were no flat
characters on display here. Each
character is intensely sculpted
to allow the audience, with ease,
to realize the nuances of feeling
felt by these characters.
The accents of both Ryan
Kessler and Ludvik, along with
their fantastic acting, add to the
humor of the play. It is their mis-
understanding of American
ways that brought the audience
to much laughter.
The acts are broken cleverly,
displaying two attitudes. Our
mental pictures of the charac-
ters are built in Act I, and then
as Act II begins, tliey are
quickly tom down. The com-
fort we may have found in

Staff Writer
In my "Mid-Season Report
Card" column two weeks ago, I
briefly touched on the WB
sitcom
'Zoe, and labeled il "woe-
fully unfunny."
I
didn't mention
Zoe's Monday-night sitcom
counterpart,
Brutally Normal,
because I hadn't seen it. Well,
this past Monday (Feb. 14) I
gave
'Zoe another shot and also
checked out
Brutally Normal.
WB has never been known for
great sitcoms (or even good
ones), and these two shows are
no exception. While one show
is better than the other, neither
of these shows are very good.
Let's start with
'Zoe. WB bills
it as a "new" show, but it really
isn't. It actually debuted under
the title of
'Zoe, Duncan, Jack
and Jane in January 1999. Itre-
volved around four teenaged
friends: Zoe Bean (
Cruel Inten-
tions' Selma Blair), Duncan
Milch (David Moscow), Jack
Cooper (Michael Rosenbaum)
and his sister Jane Cooper
(Az
.
ura Skye). The show also
featured Mary Page Keller (a
veteran of bad sitcoms) as Zoe's
mom, Iris. I checked out
'Zoe,
Duncan, Jack and Jane
a
couple times last year, and I
found it to be, for the most part,
pretty unfunny. The show didn't
fare that well in the ratings, and
thus was kept off WB's 1999-
2000 schedule. The network did
keep it around as a midseason

watching the play is broken, not
in a negative way, but in such a
way that the audience would not
want to move from their seats
even if they had to.
I was mentally exhausted by
the end of the play. I felt like I
had been with all the characters
each step of their life and when
the play ended I had to say
goodbye to characters that I
could associate with. Congratu
-
lations to every single person
who had something to do with
A Wew From the Bridge. With
the absence of any person in-
volved, the play would not have
been as intense and vivid as it
was. Each member of.the audi-

selves lucky to have

replacement, though. The show,
shooting for ratings success,
was revamped and the title was
shortened. That's why when the
show had its second season
debut a few weeks ago,
WB
billed it as the "series premiere"
of'Zoe.
The new
'Zoe was set three
years after the last episode of
Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane
(my, how time flies
in
TV
land!),
and the lead characters are now
at college.
Zoe and Jane are
roommates, as are Duncan and
Jack. Mary Page Keller is gone
from the cast, and Doug (Omar
Gooding) has been promoted
from a recurring character
on
'Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane to
a regular character on Zoe. Of
course, Gooding would have
fared better if his character had
remained a recurring character.
In fact, everybody associated
with this show would probably
be better off if WB just can-
celled it.
That may seem cruel, but this
show is
terrible.
While
Zoe,
Duncan, Jack and Jane was
pretty
bad,
at
least
it
was still
watchable. This new concoction
isn't even watchable. The char-
acters are stock sitcom cutouts
and the acting stinks ( with the
exception of Blair, who should
try to get out of this mess and
into something good as soon
as she can). Worse still, the writ-
ing is terrible. The plots are to-
tal cliches, and are incredibly

stupid. The show is like one of
those dopey NBC Saturday
morning teen sitcoms, only with
higher production values. Also,
the laugh track heard on the
show is among the phoniest
sounding laugh tracks
I
have
ever heard. In a way,
I
guess
this is a good thing, since no
studio audience should be made
to watch these lame jokes.
Here's a typical bit that gets a
big laugh from the
'Zoe canned
laughter.
An
ill Jane sits up on
the sofa and looks down at the
floor. "When did we get a spin-
ning
rug?"
she asks. HA-HA-

'Zoe, but it is still in need
of improvement.
Brutally Nor-
mal revolves around the every-
day life of a teenager, Pooh
(Mike
Damus,
last seen in the
unappreciated sitcom
Teen An-
ge[), and his friends, Russell
(American Pie's Eddie Kaye
Thomas) and Anna (Lea
Moreno). This concept is noth-
ing new. Part of what distin-
guishes
Brutally Normal from
other sitcoms is that it is filmed
with one-camera, like a movie.
This is in stark contrast to
'Zoe
and most other live-action net-
work sitcoms (with the excep-
tions of
Malcolm in the Middle
and
Sports Night), which are
filmed with three cameras, and
are very obviously filmed on a
standard studio set. The show
thankfully has no laugh track,
and it utilizes funky camera
angles a la
Parker Lewis Can't
Lose. Unfortunately, these dis-
tinguishing characteristics
don't matter as much as they
could, because the rest of
Bru-
tally Normal is so brutally av-
erage.
Yes, there are problems with
Brutally Normal. Jokes fall flat
as
a
pancake more often than
not. Some
·
of the characters,
such
as
Russell, are little more
than cliches and need to be
fleshed out. However, the nail
in
Brutally Normal's coffin
comes with the writing. The plot
of the Feb. 14th episode had
Pooh suspecting that his father
was having an affair with
Anna's mother.
Of course, there
turns out to be no affair. The
suspected-affair-that-tums-out-
to-be-n onexi stent is a long-
standing convention of sitcoms,
dating back to/
Love Lucy. Un-
fortunately,
Brutally Normal of-
fered no variations on this con-
vention, and the result was un-
funny and predictable.
Brutally Normal desperately
wants to be something it's not
(at least, not yet).
It wants to be
a satire of present-day teenage
life. Some elements of that are
there, such as when Pooh com-
ments, ''The only thing that
separated me from the other,
cooler
kids
was that I came from
a functional family with two par-
ents." Unfortunately, for the
most part
Brutally Normal is
bogged down by poor, predict-
able writing. However, it does
have potential, and it may de-
velop into an okay show if it is
given some time.
'Zoe, on the
other hand, has no potential at
all. It really deserves to be put
out of its misery. That has a
good chance of happening,
since it is pulling in horrible rat-
ings.
Brutally Normal's ratings
are even worse, so it will likely
also be cancelled. So,
if
you want
to see how it is to go thirty min-
utes without even cracking a
smile, tune in to
'Zoe, which airs
Mondays at 9 on Channel 11
here at Marist. And if you want
to wateh a sitcom that's merely
mediocre, watch
Brutally Nor-
mal, which airs Mondays at
9:30, immediately following
'Zoe.
But check them out while you
can; I feel time is running out on
both these shows.

TheMachineMakesOneLastRound

Staff Writer
I felt it important to write an
article about the one band that
I
know will never let you down
when you go to a show of
theirs. That band is
The Ma-
chine.
If
you don't already
know about them, they are a
Pink Floyd cover band.
It
seems as though these guys
play every note with total pre-
cision creating a sound that is
almost identical to the late
Pink
Floyd. l saw them last Friday
and I was blown away once
again by this band.
The Machine's set went on
for almost two hours. They
played the expected songs like,
"Another Brick in the Wall",
"Comfortably Numb", and
''Time", but they also played
some of my favorites such as
"Wish You Were Here", "Pigs"
and my absolute favorite
Floyd
tune "Brain Damage".
The
Machine doesn't chat much
between songs; the hours that
we watched this band were
filled with music without any
slip ups.
I
even asked myself,
if it would be better to see the
real
Pink Floyd, with all of the
showiness and no Roger Wa-
ters (the original
Floyd vocal-
The Machine covering Floyd.
ist) or
The Machine, who plays
perfectly every night?
When we left
The Chance af-
ter the performance, my friends
who had never seen
The Ma-
chine before all agreed, "They
are
a great freaking cover band."
We all had a blast that night.
Last Friday's show at
The
Chance was supposed to be The
Machine's final show at that
venue. Unfortunately, they are
on their final tour. However, they
will be making one last appear-
ance at
The Chance later in the
month. They have been touring
for eleven years almost non-

stop. I guess that they
are
just
worn out and want to begin dif-
ferent projects. However, at last
weeks show people were turned
away at the door because the
show was sold out.
The Ma-
chine decided to arrange one
more show at
The Chance so
that everyone else will have the
opportunity to see them one last
time.
They will
be playing again on
March 3rd so if you are a
Floyd
fan or just want to see a great
show then be sure to check them
out, you will not be disap-
pointed.
VOD Plays
a
Full Show at The Chance After Skarhead's Bore
by
BRENDAN GAHAN
Staff Writer
The line outside had already
extended somewhere around
the length of a city block.
The
Chance Theater, the l l th of
February in this, the 2000th year
AD ... It was only 9 o'clock, but
from the sounds of things in-
side, the ball was already roll-
ing on my first hardcore show
in over two years. We tried to
be polite and wait in line, but
after two minutes or so of dis-
playing incorrigible etiquette,
my assistant and l decided to
walk up to the front and throw
our press power around a little
bit.
It was a crude display, but
we felt it was for the good of the
story. We checked in at the
ticket window, and proceeded to
move about inside.
As we maneuvered about
The
Chance Theater, we found our-
selves surrounded by the typi-
cal hardcore caricatures. There
was the obnoxious teenage girl
with choppy bleached blond
hair sporting a backpack and a
white vest, the straightedge
icon with his polo sport wind-
breaker and baseball cap, and
my personal favorite, the fat kid
in the basketball jersey. If
memory serves, these same
people were present at my first
show, and
I'
II bet the farm they'll
be at my last.
Being that we missed the first
band completely, I thought it a
good idea to head for the bar,
have a drink, and
try to gather
information. I grabbed the first
kid I saw and asked him who the
first band was, where they were
from, what he thought of them,
and if he knew if they had
Guinness on tap here. He was a
good fellow, willing
to
help me
any way he could. I gathered
from him that the first band
hailed from Poughkeepsie, and
were "nothing spectacular." I
bought that answer without
question due to the fact that he
could not for the life of him re-
member their name, and neither
could anyone else near the bar
for that matter, perhaps due to a
combination of drunkenness
and disinterest. Yes, we '11 give
that nameles~ opener the ben-
efit of the doubt.
If you gave me ten guesses, I
could have told you the name
of the next band to take the
stage. Abstain, Disdain, Stand
Hard ... ah yes, these lads called
themselves
Dissolve, and they
lived up to their typical garbage
hardcore band name. This may
be a bit harsh, but I will compli-
ment them by saying this, they
were not the worst band of the
night by a longshot. I will also
say that
if
the crowd was feel-
ing this band, they were also
feeling heavy sedatives.
Candiria came up next, and
by this point I was attempting
to fast forward through the
show by way of heavy drink-
ing. My assistant was feeling
the same way and I knew why.
You have to understand, it was
her first excursion into a show
of this nature, and so far it was
a terrible ordeal of senseless
screaming and chugga chugga
open E crunch noise.
Candiria,
however, was actually pretty
cool. They sounded like they
had their act together, and were
well received by the crowd.
They sound just out of the or-
dinary enough to cause a stir,
while maintaining credibility
with all you ragef!tl little hellcats
out there.
Alright, I've seen some
doozies in my day, but it is an
understatement to say that if
the theater had been filled with
dogs and cats instead of people,
the
ASPCA
would have shown
up and pulled the plug (it's for
the best... you understand?) on
Skarhead. Nobody should
have to sit through this. I can
honestly say I have never seen
a band so awful receive such a
response from the crowd. It was
your typical urban toughguy
B.S ... pick up the change. I will
say that I was quite impressed
by the skinny kid in the-green
windbreaker. Being that the
band already had two singers,
he was the greatest "stand on
the stage, get wasted and act
hard guy" I have ever seen in a
band, truly epic. The only thing
I was thankful for was that Ezec
didn't have plans to stay at my
place that night. This had oc-
curred at a
Crown of Thomz
show my freshman year and it
scares me just as much now as
it did then. Supposedly, as Ezec
put it, I was in charge of beerz
and
girlz ... luckily it fell through.
Oh, and by the way,
if
any of
you go see
Skarhead, bring
them some cocaine, because
despite how "down" they
are,

to cop any for Friday night, and

kept asking the crowd for it.
Good God, I had endured just
about enough for one night, and
if
Vision of Disorder hadn't been
scheduled to go on next I would
have had to leave, or drink my-
self into a coma (I'm 21, and can
do this legally now) for the next
forty minutes or so. Glory be
however, because they took the
stage and played quite well. The
crowd went payday (almost to-
tally nuts), but I expected noth-
ing less. It is, after all,
V.O.D.
They actually played a good
amount of old favorites such as
"Blanks",
"Suffer",
and
"Choke". Tim's voice sounds
rawer than ever and the band
was tight as usual. It is easy to
distinguish between a singer
with verbal diarrhea and some-
one who really feels what they
are up there singing, and Tim
Williams is definitely the latter.
After 6 or seven somewhat
years, they still have it. I exited
the place with a smile on my
face. I felt like a high school kid
again, who after hours of beg-
ging mom, was finally allowed
to go to the show. I was not
disappointed.

Three straight losses sink
wo01en to botto01 of conf ere nee
by
PEI'ERPALMIERI
Staff Writer
Three key conference losses
have given the Marist women's
basketball team a record of l 0-
13, the second time the team has
fallen below
.500
this season.
Last Friday Marist played host
to the Siena Saints. After a back
and forth battle for most of the
first half, Marist went into the
break trailing by 11 points.
However, the Saints (7-14, 6-7
Metro Atlantic Athletic Confer-
ence) broke the game open in
the second half. Freshman
Erica
Anderson and junior Sacha
Baker each netted 14 points for
Siena, leading the team to a 70-
47 romp over the Foxes.
Diesa Seidel led Marist with
17 points while Marie Fusci
added 12. Marist shot 34.5 per-
cent from the field, connecting
on 19 shots, while Siena was 23-
of-60, good for a 38.3 percent
shooting percentage.
Center Diesa Seidel said she
thinks Marist lacked cohesive-
ness
as
a unit, which explained
the poor performance.
"We
definitely
could have
played better," Seidel said. "Our
chemistry on the court needs to
improve."
Marist traveled to Connecti-
cut on Sunday to take on
MAAC leader Fairfield Univer-
sity. The dominating play of
Fairfield's Gail Strumpf proved
to be enough for the Stags,
as
they went on to win the game,
~55.
Strumpf scored 22 points and
added 14 rebounds to contrib-
ute
to
her NCAA Division I lead-
ing nineteenth double-double
of the season. The win gave
Fairfield
its
twentieth
victory
of
the
season
and
kept
the team in
the lead of the MAAC with a
12-3 conference record.
Fusci led
Marist
with 20
points.
Marist lost another MAAC
contest Tuesday night. Despite
19 points and 19 rebounds from
Seidel, the Foxes fell, 58-45.
The loss gave the team a 3-11
record in the MAAC, one game
ahead of last place Canisius.
Accor~ng to Fusci, the losses
have not been a result of the
team pl!}ying poorly, but rather
the team's inability to hold leads
late in the game
"We are hustling and making
good plays," Fusci said.
"We're
giving it all we have every
game."
With three regular• season
games remaining before the
MAAC
Championships, the
women are not getting discour-
aged because of the late season
slump.
Seidel said the Foxes hope to
finish the season strong and
concentrate on finishing out
games.
"Every game counts," Seidel
said. "We are not dwelling on
the past. We need to keep our
focus and prepare for each
game."
According to Seidel, the team
"We need to work on
playing as a
team.
Everybody needs to

gether.

body needs to contribute some-

Bolingbroke has also been

and is doing well in the 55 dash,

team.

season which shattered the
school record by 16 seconds.

team
included freshman Sarah

Krissy Rhorer.
Freshmen Grace LaFemina,
Christina Nonnan and Katie

year, and it was great
to see the hard work
pay off. It was also

"Last year was the best in the

the best kept secret in the

The teams will be in action
once again this weekend. The

!The Slickster Speaks
I
by
MIKE FERRARO
After receiving several re-
quests, a portion of this column
will be devoted to hockey. Most
requests have come from
Ranger fans who probably want
me to say something nice about
their favorite team.
The Rangers appear to be
moving in the right direction,
primarily due to their young
players. Mike York, Jan Hlavac
and Kim Johnsson have been
particularly impressive. The
trade to acquire Radek Dvorak
was another plus.
Does this mean the Rangers
are Stanley Cup contenders?
Sorry, not this year.
The top two contenders to
represent the East appear to be
New Jersey and Florida. At
press time, the Devils lead the
East (and the entire league) with
80 points, with the Panthers
ranking second in the East with
71.
have won the regular season
conference title, but have been
unceremoniously dumped from
the playoffs by the
#8
seed.
However, this year's Devils
squad looks better than the l~t
two editions. Scott Gomez is the
favorite for the Calder Trophy
for rookie of the year. What
other players are on the torrid
goal-scoring pace that Patrik
Elias is?
How about Pavel Bure in
Florida? Bure reached the
40-
goal mark in just his fourty-
eighth game of the season on
Monday. With solid seasons
from Vtktor Kozlov, Mark Parrish
and Ray Whitney up front, and
Robert Svehla and Jaroslav
Spacek on the blue line, the Pan-
thers have good balance.
In the West, the St. Louis
Blues may have the best record,
but the Dallas Stars are closing
quickly
~
Ironically, a major rea-
son for the Blues' success is the
trade that brought goaltender
Roman Turek from Dallas.
However, the Blues need Al
Macinnis and Pierre Turgeon to
be healthy in order to get back
on track.
As has been the case in the
West for the last few years, the
top four teams are some combi-
nation of St. Louis, Dallas, and
traditional powerhouses Detroit
and Colorado.
Detroit has been playing par-
ticularly well lately, with three
consecutive road wins against
St. Louis, Colorado, and Phoe-
nix. Brendan Shanahan is up to
30 goals, and Chris Chelios
leads the NHL with a+
37
plus/
minus rating.
As of right now, my pick for
the Stanley Cup finals is Florida
against St. Louis. But that is
subject to change, and it prob-
ably
will.
Free-agency has started in the
NFL, as several notable names
will be switching teams. Dan
Marino's decision to void the
final two years of his contract
and become a free-agent has
probably received the most at-
tention.
Early speculation had Marino
showing interest in the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers, but are the
Buccaneers interested in him?
Probably not, nor should they
be.
Marino's skills are clearly erod-
ing. Last year, he threw more
interceptions than touchdowns
for the first time in his illustri-
ous career. His decision-mak-
ing was awful at times. His best
days are clearly behind him.
For the Bucs to get to the Su-
per Bowl, they would need more
than a quarterback anyway. The
receiving corps needs help,
since Reidel Anthony and Bert
Emanuel have not produced.
The offensive line is only ad-
equate, and they may lose Pro
Bowl center Tony Mayberry in
free-agency.
Expect Dan Marino to an-
nounce his retirement within the
next two months.
After putting his time in, Kenney is saving his best for last.

byKYLEWOOD
A week ago, Dan Marino made
the decision to void the last two
years of his contract with the
Miami Dolphins, thus making
himself a free agent. Unfortu-
nately things are not going for
him as he thought they would.
A lot of people are calling for
Marino to retire. Why?
Yes, he had the worst season
of his career throwing for only
12
touchdowns, while compiling
17 interceptions and attaining a
quarterback rating (67.4) that
mirrors the likes of Rick Mirer
and not Dan Marino.
However he only started
11
games and he still led his team
to a first round playoff victory
over the Seattle Seahawks.
Is Dan Marino the quarter-
back that he was five years ago?
Of course not, for age has
caught up with him. However,
Marino should not retire.
He has a lot of great football
left
in
him. A perfect example is
John Elway, who won two Cham-
pionships at the end of his sto-
ried career. Let's not forget that
Elway won those two Super
Bowl's because he had one of
the game's best running backs
in his backfield with him, Terrell
Davis, something Marino has
never enjoyed in his 17 years
wearing a Dolphins uniform.
The only thing that Marino
has left to do in this game is win
a ring and there are some teams
that could use a veteran quar-
terback to lead them to the Su-
per Bowl.
One such team is the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers. Remember
that they lost the National Foot-
ball Conference's Championship
game by the score of
11-6
to the
St. Louis Rams.
The Buccaneers have a lot of
talent on the offensive side of
the football, especially in the
backfield.
They have the game's best
fullback in
Mike
Alstott and
Warrick Dunn. Both are better
running backs than Marino ever
saw in Miami.
By the looks of the way that
Shaun King played towards the
end of the year,

looks like
Trent Dilfer will be out of the
starting job in Tampa Bay.
Good.
Who better to tutor King for
one-maybe two years then the
game's most prolific quarter-
back?
This team would be doing
themselves a disservice

and throw a club option in for
the second year.
By signing him to a contract
like this, the Buccaneers would
have to become the instant fa-
vorite in the NFC to go to the
Super Bowl.

spotted him.
In his senior year of high
school, Kenney led Cardington
High School to the Ohio State
Tournament Final Four. His
stock rose even more in the eyes
of Magarity and then assistant
Jeff Bower (now with the Char-
lotte Hornets).
To get Kenney, Marist had to
contend with several mid-west-
ern schools, including Butler,
Valparaiso and Youngstown
State. After visiting the Marist
campus and meeting with the
coaches, Kenney's decision be-

came much easier.
"The coaches did a great job
of selling me," Kenney said.
"It's a beautiful campus and a
beautiful area around here.

looked to fit together the best."
For Kenney, the puzzle also

him a "work in progress."
The changes have been no-

and worked hard," said senior

better footwork, and he's
dropped some pounds."
Magarity said he thinks
Kenney has had an all-confer-
ence season. Sometimes, he
wishes his center had more of a
mean streak in him on the floor,
but that is not what Tom Kenney
is all about.
"He's one of the best kids I've
ever had.
I
think a little bit of a
fault for him is he's too nice a
kid (on the floor). He's a little
mild-mannered, like a gentle gi-
ant," Magarity said.

weeks, holds nothing but prom-
ise for the Red Foxes.
The key to the team continu-
ing on the winning track, how-
ever, will have to be the coexist-
ence of the inside-outside game
that Mari st has displayed in the
last few games. With the big
men getting more space due to
the three point threats, and the
guards seeing more space in the
lane due to the threat of the post
play, Marist holds all the tools
needed to win not only close
games, but as evident from the
Fairfield win, the big games as
well.

Kenney, a six-foot-ten-inch
senior center, is averaging 13.3
points and
7.4
rebounds per
game. He also has

shots and a 53.6 percent field-
goal percentage. Over the last
six games (four Marist wins), he
has averaged 20.8 points and 9.3
rebounds a night.
He also has a knack for pro-
ducing in games televised re-
gionally. In Sunday's game at
first-place Siena, televised by
MSG, Kenney scored 26 points
( on

Hence, the added motivation.
Kenney's role and importance
to the team has increased this
year. He started all 28 games last
