Key
to
college success
is
managing time well
byJACLYNJAOOBSEN
Editor-in-Chief
Summertime is a joy.
It
seems that the only
decisions one has to
make are whether or
not to wake up at noon
or2p.m.
In college, many stu-
dents find themselves
tom
b.~.tur
.
een catching
~v.:·
two"" n6lirs of sleep,
and finishing that killer
project which will
make or break their
grade.
How can you avoid
these hair-raising mo-
ments of racing to beat
the clock, trying to fin-
ish an assignment
three minutes ahead of
the hour it is due, all
the while knowing you
should have started it
a month ago? Two
words should help:
Time Management.
Time management
will help you organize
your time better, finish
your assignments be-
fore they are due and
help you retain your
virtually stress-free
lifestyle. However, it
won't do your laundry
for you. Here are some
simple tips to help you
keep stress at bay, if
only for a little while.
Organize your Ufe.
Whether it is in the
form of a bulletin
board, a calendar or the
tried-and-true it will
make those bulky as-
signments harder to
forget about.
Make choices.
Have four projects, all
due in a month? Sure,
you can sit down now
and watch "Barney
Miller" marathons on
TV Land (thanks to
our great new cable
system) and be bom-
barded with deadlines
later. Or, you can take
your free time to chop
away at each of the
looming assignments,
allowing yourself to
work at your own pace
and perhaps even en-
joy the task at hand.
Don't be too over-
confident.
It
is common for stu-
dents to underesti-
mate the time needed
to finish a paper. Think
you're a whiz at Ameri-
can politics in the
19th
century? That you
may be, but it will still
take you at least 2
hours to find all the
material you'll need.
The problem is,
you've only given
yourself an hour and a
half to finish this pa-
per, and need the re-
maining 4 hours of free
time to wrap up your
English presentation.
To manage your time
effectively, it is always
safer to overestimate
the time you'll need to
be done with a paper,
instead of cutting
yourself short on time
and doing a rush job
on another topic.
While these are not
end-all solutions to the
stress classes can
cause, they will help to
alleviate some of the
tension and hopefully
make for a successful
academic semester.

sphere for those who
need to escape from

The building itself,
surrounded by brick, is
one of the oldest on

an office building for
Marist faculty. How-
ever, St Anne's isn't
the only peaceful as-
pect to this location;
the woods provide
maximum relaxation for
those who explore
them. With various
dirt paths to choose
from, the St. Anne's

One of the most ap-

location next to

the beautiful sunset to

admire as it changes

location to rest. There

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW..ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR OF THE
PRESS...
Deconstructing the
GOP
byBENBRENKERT
Opinion Editor
In these days of po-
litical melancholy it is
hard to find individu-
als who can express
their political views
with comfort and clar-
iff."l'oday most Ameri-
cans try to avoid right-
ist and leftist political
ideology by aligning
themselves with mod-
erates. Moreover,
these same individuals
struggle with sensitive
issues using words in
excess of those
needed for precision
and lucidity. Yet, many
might argue that such
compromise and mod-
eration signifies the
dawning of a new era
in American politics.
However, what is the
cost, if moderation and
compromise come at
the expense of one's
approach to the world
morally, ethically and
spiritually?
For most conserva-
tives (and liberals) the
2000 election was filled
with languid expres-
sions and weak politi-
cal bargaining. None-
theless, the 2000 elec-
tion pitted a moderate
republican, George W.
Bush, against a moder-
ate democrat, Al Gore.
Whatever
your
thoughts may be on
that very election, it is
foreseeable
that
America will never see
the rise of conserva-
tives like Ronald
Reagan, George Bush,
Sr. or Bob Dole. In
1939 Franklin D.
Roosevelt wrote that,
"A Conservative is a
man with two per-
fectly good legs, who,
however, has never
learned to walk." The
loss of Jessie Helms'
political ideology and
his conservative tradi-
tion mark the end of an
era in right wing con-
servatism.
Jessie Helms as-
cended the ranks of
conservatives in 1970,
when he switched to
the Republican Party.
By 1972 Helms had
won the first of his
five senatorial races,
and thereafter would
fight communism
abroad and liberalism
at home. As an old
school politician and
product of the segre-
ga ti oni st
South,
Helms was tagged
"Senator No." Jessie
Helms killed bills and
thwarted nominations
he could not support.
Helms opposed civil
rights initiatives, in-
cluding affirmative ac-
tion, and gay rights.
Jessie Helms advo-
cated school prayer,
fought the pro-choice
movement and chal-
lenged the govern-
ment to ban flag bum-
ing. Jessie Helms sup-
ported an expensive
national security
schema, but voted
against sending U.S.
troops abroad or aid-
ing the advancement
of peace through the
United Nations.
With his many victo-
ries in the Senate cham-
ber, Sen. Christopher
Dodd (D-Conn.) ex-
claimed "Helm's ap-
proval or disapproval
carried a lot of weight
because he had so
many followers around
the country." Unfor-
tunately, Jessie Helms
never fully adapted to
changes in his region
politically, economi-
cally and socially. Un-
like Senator Strom
Thurman (R-S.C.),
Helms did not ad-
vance his civil rights
agenda nor modernize
it in favor of pragma-
tism or twenty-first
century reform. In a
recent Washington
Post article by Helen
Dewar and Dan Balz,
Tripp Baird, represent-
ing the Heritage F oun-
dation, expressed his
view that a firebrand
like Helms could not be
elected anymore.
Baird's intuitive com-
ment might be more
prophetic than he
would have otherwise
intended!
As Helms delivered
his televised address
to his constituents the
GOP was already
searching for an heir
to his conservative
legacy. Within minutes
of his address Wash-
ington insiders had al-
ready guessed that
Elizabeth Dole would
run for Helms' vacant
seat. Elizabeth Dole is
not a right-wing con-
servative, and her po-
sition on the Second
Amendment and gun
control would make
many North Carolin-
ians lose sleep. Helms
himself has spoken
against Dole's candi-
dacy, while others
have already labeled
Dole a carpetbagger.
As Dole's campaign
progresses the GOP
will struggle to restruc-
ture itself amidst a
backlash
against
right-wing conserva-
tism. While the GOP
races to restructure it-
self, moderates, like
Sen. John McCain, will
continue to ride the
tide of victory with
compromise and bi-
partisanship.
Jessie Helm's retire-
ment in 2003 will be
watched with great
scrutiny. American
politics has entered a
new phase, one that
replaces the old con-
servatives (and liber-
als) with the new mod-
erate reformers.

Football has new look heading into opener
by Mike
Ferraro
Stqff Writer
Marist football has
been consistent, if not
spectacular, in the Jim
Parady era. The team
has posted seven con-
secutive winning sea-
s~~Jecording
either
siX or seven victories
every year.
Entering his tenth
year as Head Coach,
Parady's teams have
traditionally featured a
strong ground attack,
staunch defense, and
occasional flashes in
the passing game.
In an attempt to uti-
lize his complete arse-
nal of offensive weap-
ons, Parady will be
giving the Marist of-
fense a new look in
2001.
"We are definitely
opening up the of-
fense this year,"
Parady said. "We will
be throwing more than
in years past."
The job of throwing
the football will fall on
the shoulders of two
New Jersey products,
senior
John
Comeliusen and junior
Kevin
Bielen.
Comeliusen served as
the number two quar-
terback behind Kevin
Chartrand last year,
and he played well
when given the oppor-
tunity. He engineered
a come-from-behind
victory at Wagner in
the final minute.
According to
Parady, Bielen's off-
season progress has
put him in position to
earn significant play-
ing time. Along with
fellow quarterbacks
Comeliusen and Rick
Montejano, he has de-
voted himself to
studying film, which
has paid off for him on
the field.
"(Bielen) has always
had good physical
tools, now mentally
he's right there,"
Parady said.
Parady stated that
there is not a clearly
defined starter and
backup
between
Corneliusen
and
Bielen; they are quar-
terbacks number 1 and
lA.
"I feel good regard-
ing both. Who starts
isn't a big issue; both
will see playing time.
You're going to see a
lot of different people
playing offensively."
The theme of mul-
tiple contributors at a
position extends to
wide receiver, where
Sean Stellato, Jason
Hooper, Eric Bost, Jo-
seph Cortez, Scott
Snyder, and Kevin
Beall all figure to see
significant playing
time. Junior Ben
Battles, senior J. R.
Payne, and sophomore
Danny Romano will
compete at tight end.
Parady said that the
receivers have made
the necessary im-
provements to make
the up-tempo offense
work.
"The wide receivers
have been elevating
their game. You can
see a different attitude
when the ball is in the
air; they feel like its
theirs."
The offensive line
returns
starters
Michael Loniewski,
Mike Lindberg, Juwan
Jackson, and Tom
Day, while losing right
tackle Jeremy Smith.
They will again try to
create holes for
tailbacks Alfredo
Riullano and Chris
Price. Jeff Conrow re-
places Joe Tardi at full-
back.
Riullano (832) and
Price (723) combined
to run for 15 5 5 yards
last year. Riullano was
a threat to score from
anywhere on the field
last year, and his 96-
y ard
touchdown
against St. Peter's last
year is the longest
run
in school history.
Count on the tandem
to divide the carries
again this year.

managing time well
byJACLYNJAOOBSEN
Editor-in-Chief
Summertime is a joy.
It
seems that the only
decisions one has to
make are whether or
not to wake up at noon
or2p.m.
In college, many stu-
dents find themselves
tom
b.~.tur
.
een catching
~v.:·
two"" n6lirs of sleep,
and finishing that killer
project which will
make or break their
grade.
How can you avoid
these hair-raising mo-
ments of racing to beat
the clock, trying to fin-
ish an assignment
three minutes ahead of
the hour it is due, all
the while knowing you
should have started it
a month ago? Two
words should help:
Time Management.
Time management
will help you organize
your time better, finish
your assignments be-
fore they are due and
help you retain your
virtually stress-free
lifestyle. However, it
won't do your laundry
for you. Here are some
simple tips to help you
keep stress at bay, if
only for a little while.
Organize your Ufe.
Whether it is in the
form of a bulletin
board, a calendar or the
tried-and-true it will
make those bulky as-
signments harder to
forget about.
Make choices.
Have four projects, all
due in a month? Sure,
you can sit down now
and watch "Barney
Miller" marathons on
TV Land (thanks to
our great new cable
system) and be bom-
barded with deadlines
later. Or, you can take
your free time to chop
away at each of the
looming assignments,
allowing yourself to
work at your own pace
and perhaps even en-
joy the task at hand.
Don't be too over-
confident.
It
is common for stu-
dents to underesti-
mate the time needed
to finish a paper. Think
you're a whiz at Ameri-
can politics in the
19th
century? That you
may be, but it will still
take you at least 2
hours to find all the
material you'll need.
The problem is,
you've only given
yourself an hour and a
half to finish this pa-
per, and need the re-
maining 4 hours of free
time to wrap up your
English presentation.
To manage your time
effectively, it is always
safer to overestimate
the time you'll need to
be done with a paper,
instead of cutting
yourself short on time
and doing a rush job
on another topic.
While these are not
end-all solutions to the
stress classes can
cause, they will help to
alleviate some of the
tension and hopefully
make for a successful
academic semester.

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW..ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR OF THE
PRESS...
Deconstructing the
GOP
byBENBRENKERT
Opinion Editor
In these days of po-
litical melancholy it is
hard to find individu-
als who can express
their political views
with comfort and clar-
iff."l'oday most Ameri-
cans try to avoid right-
ist and leftist political
ideology by aligning
themselves with mod-
erates. Moreover,
these same individuals
struggle with sensitive
issues using words in
excess of those
needed for precision
and lucidity. Yet, many
might argue that such
compromise and mod-
eration signifies the
dawning of a new era
in American politics.
However, what is the
cost, if moderation and
compromise come at
the expense of one's
approach to the world
morally, ethically and
spiritually?
For most conserva-
tives (and liberals) the
2000 election was filled
with languid expres-
sions and weak politi-
cal bargaining. None-
theless, the 2000 elec-
tion pitted a moderate
republican, George W.
Bush, against a moder-
ate democrat, Al Gore.
Whatever
your
thoughts may be on
that very election, it is
foreseeable
that
America will never see
the rise of conserva-
tives like Ronald
Reagan, George Bush,
Sr. or Bob Dole. In
1939 Franklin D.
Roosevelt wrote that,
"A Conservative is a
man with two per-
fectly good legs, who,
however, has never
learned to walk." The
loss of Jessie Helms'
political ideology and
his conservative tradi-
tion mark the end of an
era in right wing con-
servatism.
Jessie Helms as-
cended the ranks of
conservatives in 1970,
when he switched to
the Republican Party.
By 1972 Helms had
won the first of his
five senatorial races,
and thereafter would
fight communism
abroad and liberalism
at home. As an old
school politician and
product of the segre-
ga ti oni st
South,
Helms was tagged
"Senator No." Jessie
Helms killed bills and
thwarted nominations
he could not support.
Helms opposed civil
rights initiatives, in-
cluding affirmative ac-
tion, and gay rights.
Jessie Helms advo-
cated school prayer,
fought the pro-choice
movement and chal-
lenged the govern-
ment to ban flag bum-
ing. Jessie Helms sup-
ported an expensive
national security
schema, but voted
against sending U.S.
troops abroad or aid-
ing the advancement
of peace through the
United Nations.
With his many victo-
ries in the Senate cham-
ber, Sen. Christopher
Dodd (D-Conn.) ex-
claimed "Helm's ap-
proval or disapproval
carried a lot of weight
because he had so
many followers around
the country." Unfor-
tunately, Jessie Helms
never fully adapted to
changes in his region
politically, economi-
cally and socially. Un-
like Senator Strom
Thurman (R-S.C.),
Helms did not ad-
vance his civil rights
agenda nor modernize
it in favor of pragma-
tism or twenty-first
century reform. In a
recent Washington
Post article by Helen
Dewar and Dan Balz,
Tripp Baird, represent-
ing the Heritage F oun-
dation, expressed his
view that a firebrand
like Helms could not be
elected anymore.
Baird's intuitive com-
ment might be more
prophetic than he
would have otherwise
intended!
As Helms delivered
his televised address
to his constituents the
GOP was already
searching for an heir
to his conservative
legacy. Within minutes
of his address Wash-
ington insiders had al-
ready guessed that
Elizabeth Dole would
run for Helms' vacant
seat. Elizabeth Dole is
not a right-wing con-
servative, and her po-
sition on the Second
Amendment and gun
control would make
many North Carolin-
ians lose sleep. Helms
himself has spoken
against Dole's candi-
dacy, while others
have already labeled
Dole a carpetbagger.
As Dole's campaign
progresses the GOP
will struggle to restruc-
ture itself amidst a
backlash
against
right-wing conserva-
tism. While the GOP
races to restructure it-
self, moderates, like
Sen. John McCain, will
continue to ride the
tide of victory with
compromise and bi-
partisanship.
Jessie Helm's retire-
ment in 2003 will be
watched with great
scrutiny. American
politics has entered a
new phase, one that
replaces the old con-
servatives (and liber-
als) with the new mod-
erate reformers.

of penis and fart jokes,
and this movie is defi-
nitely no exception.
This sucker got
slapped with an R rat-
ing not for violence or
even nudity but just
for the classic Smith
dialog. Some have
called the movie one

that I make the
fo1lowing disclaimers:
If you are gay and
can't take a joke-don't
go. If you're a femi-

are any sort of activ-
ist, be it social, politi-
cal or environmental -
don't go.
On second thought,
I take it all back. Go
see this movie. Pay to
see it, and then go
home and whine to
whoever you can find
and tell them to go see
it to see how screwed
up it is. View Askew,

Football has new look heading into opener
by Mike
Ferraro
Stqff Writer
Marist football has
been consistent, if not
spectacular, in the Jim
Parady era. The team
has posted seven con-
secutive winning sea-
s~~Jecording
either
siX or seven victories
every year.
Entering his tenth
year as Head Coach,
Parady's teams have
traditionally featured a
strong ground attack,
staunch defense, and
occasional flashes in
the passing game.
In an attempt to uti-
lize his complete arse-
nal of offensive weap-
ons, Parady will be
giving the Marist of-
fense a new look in
2001.
"We are definitely
opening up the of-
fense this year,"
Parady said. "We will
be throwing more than
in years past."
The job of throwing
the football will fall on
the shoulders of two
New Jersey products,
senior
John
Comeliusen and junior
Kevin
Bielen.
Comeliusen served as
the number two quar-
terback behind Kevin
Chartrand last year,
and he played well
when given the oppor-
tunity. He engineered
a come-from-behind
victory at Wagner in
the final minute.
According to
Parady, Bielen's off-
season progress has
put him in position to
earn significant play-
ing time. Along with
fellow quarterbacks
Comeliusen and Rick
Montejano, he has de-
voted himself to
studying film, which
has paid off for him on
the field.
"(Bielen) has always
had good physical
tools, now mentally
he's right there,"
Parady said.
Parady stated that
there is not a clearly
defined starter and
backup
between
Corneliusen
and
Bielen; they are quar-
terbacks number 1 and
lA.
"I feel good regard-
ing both. Who starts
isn't a big issue; both
will see playing time.
You're going to see a
lot of different people
playing offensively."
The theme of mul-
tiple contributors at a
position extends to
wide receiver, where
Sean Stellato, Jason
Hooper, Eric Bost, Jo-
seph Cortez, Scott
Snyder, and Kevin
Beall all figure to see
significant playing
time. Junior Ben
Battles, senior J. R.
Payne, and sophomore
Danny Romano will
compete at tight end.
Parady said that the
receivers have made
the necessary im-
provements to make
the up-tempo offense
work.
"The wide receivers
have been elevating
their game. You can
see a different attitude
when the ball is in the
air; they feel like its
theirs."
The offensive line
returns
starters
Michael Loniewski,
Mike Lindberg, Juwan
Jackson, and Tom
Day, while losing right
tackle Jeremy Smith.
They will again try to
create holes for
tailbacks Alfredo
Riullano and Chris
Price. Jeff Conrow re-
places Joe Tardi at full-
back.
Riullano (832) and
Price (723) combined
to run for 15 5 5 yards
last year. Riullano was
a threat to score from
anywhere on the field
last year, and his 96-
y ard
touchdown
against St. Peter's last
year is the longest
run
in school history.
Count on the tandem
to divide the carries
again this year.

Bittner
drafted
by
White Sox
by PETER PALMIERI
Sports Editor
Tim Bittner, a former
member of the Red Fox
base ball team, was
drafted in the 10th
round of the 2001 Ma-
jor League Baseball
Draft by the Chicago
White Sox. Bittner, a
southpaw
from
Wilmington, De.

corded with a 3.63
ERA in his final sea-
son with Marist.
Bittner was as-
signed to the Bristol

palachian League.
During his stint there,
he recorded a 6-1
record as a starter in
the rookie league,
prompting his promo-
tion to Class A ball
with the Kannapolis
Intimidators of the
South
Atlantic
League.
Appearing in nearly
50 innings with Bristol,
Bittner posted an im-
pressive 1.10 ERA.
The 2001 Marist
Baseball team
re-
peated as MAAC
Champions this past
May. The team made
its second straight and
third ever appearance
in the NCAA Tourna-
ment. The Red Foxes
defeated Long Beach
State 7-6 in the open-
ing round of the tour-
nament for the
school's second ever
NCAA Tournament
victory in the school's
history. However, the
team lost two
games
to
Stanford, elimi-
nating the Red
Foxes.
Stanford was
ranked fourth
in the nation.
