First Marist Red Fox Trot finishes a success
ByJIM URSO
Sports Editor
Twelve-year-old Luke Timm of
Poughkeepsie has something to
boast about at his dinner table. On
a beautiful day in the Hudson Val-
ley, Timm, who is a middle school
student at Holy Trinity School,
crossed the finish line of a 5K before
his entire family.
Timm was one of the 246 runners
who partook in the first annual
Marist Red Fox Trot 5K Saturday.
The event served as an opportunity
for Marist Athletics to strengthen
and maintain ties to key con-
stituencies, including community
members like the Timms.
"It was a pretty nice course, but
the hills were difficult," said Timm,
who finished the race in 19:57, one
spot and two seconds behind Marist
Athletic Director Tim Murray. The
race was completely contained on
campus; it started and finished on
the east bank of the Hudson River
at Marist's historic Cornell Boat-
house.
Luke Timm is no stranger to dis-
tance running. He's a veteran of the
kid's division of the Dutchess
County Classic.
Timm's father, Fred Timm, 47, fin-
ished the race 28 seconds after his
oldest son at 20:25. The Timm fam-
ily attends many of the Marist bas-
ketball games and enjoys running
together.
"I just try to do enough with them
to get them motivated to do more on
their own," Fred Timm said. "I want
my kids to be active."
In regards to losing to his son,
Fred Timm joked "It's not the first
RYAN HUITON/ THE CIRCLE
time."
To maintain bragging rights, Luke
Timm better to keep training. His
younger sister Caroline, 10, finished
third among women 19 and under,
making it back to Boathouse in a
time of 22:31. She also competes in
the kid's division of the "Dutchess
County Classic." Once she hits her
growth spurt, Luke could be in trou-
ble. And
if
Caroline decides to take
up another sport, younger brother
Nick could be formidable competi-
tion in the future. The 9-year-old
finished the race in a time of 24:25.
The race was sponsored by the
Red Fox Club in conjunction with
the Mid-Hudson Road Runners
Club and saw runners representing
five different states. All proceeds of
the race will benefit Marist's Divi-
sion I athletics programs.
Marist Track and Field alumnus
Michael Cocca drove to Poughkeep-
sie from Suffield, Connecticut to
participate in the event. Cocca ran
sprints during his track and field
career, and continues to train. Nev-
ertheless, the 22-year-old wasn't too
confident entering the race.
"I'll probably get burned," Cocca
said jokingly before the race.
Cocca crossed the finish line at the
20: 17 mark. "The hills at the begin-
ning were tough," Cocca said. The
race provided an opportunity for the
young alumnus to see his coach and
other friends from the track & field
program, as well as visit his sister,
who is a junior at Marist.
Senior Kaiti Decker ran the 5K
with six of her friends. Decker runs
consistently, and traveled to San
Diego in June to run in a marathon.

Continuing on last years success,

Marist campus this past Wednes-

the green

front of Donnelly dur-
ing actiyity hour, hosted vendors
from the surrounding Hudson Val-
ley area. Developed last year so that
students could become aware of the
benefits of local produce, the effort
is back by popular demand. Farm-
ers and craftsmen alike brought
everything from fresh fruit and veg-
etables, to jewelery and poultry. The
market drew a steady flow of stu-
dents and fauculty throughout its
two-hour stay, selling out nearly all
of the available goods. Because of
it's continued appeal, the market
will return to showcase local mer-
chants on Wednesday's this fall.

like a natural fit.
"It was really cool to run a race
where I've been running for the past
four years," said Decker, who is
from Fishkill.
On getting up early on Saturday
morning, the 20-year-old didn't
have too hard of a time. "We took it
easy on Friday night," Decker said.
"It was a different kind of Saturday
experience but totally worth it."
The male overall winner was
Marist Cross Country/Track and
Field alumnus Mike Rolek with a
time of 15:17.33. The women's over-
all winner was Julie Delimon from
Morristown, N.J., with a time of

Marist College Bookstore. The first

t-shirt, while all runners received
two tickets to a Marist Men's Bas-
ketball game.
No matter where they finished,
racers of all ages and skill levels en-
joyed the wonderful weather.
"I already appreciate where we go
to school," Decker said, "but run-
ning a race on this campus makes
me ten times more proud of the fact
that I go to Marist. It was the per-
fect Hudson Valley fall day."

Before anything, I promised
I'd make one quick correction
from last week. Remember the
student in Foy who tried to
break into his own house and

the process? He didn't break the
pipe. Someone or something
else did I apologize for the mis-
information, and just so you
know, being stopped and yelled
'
at for misreporting a
story
is my
second favorite perk of writing
this column, just barely behind
being stopped and yelled at for
not reporting about somebody
doing something stupid. Both

Housing 'party fouls' with rule-ridden policy
By
MONICA SPERANZA
Fulton house
flashing
"GET
Staff Writer
SLOSHED HERE"?
Here is what we all know about
Marist College and alcohol: a)
there is dry housing for under-
classmen and wet housing for up-
perclassmen; b) if someone under
21 years old is caught drinking/in
possession of alcohol or around al -
cohol, there will be trouble; and c)
if someone over 21 years old is
caught illegally providing alcohol,
there will also be trouble.
To "remedy" the situation of peo-
ple being written up left and right
because of alcohol,- Marist Housing
developed a party policy. The pol-
icy was developed 14 years ago, ac-
cording to Jeffery Kaine, assistant
director of housing and residential
life. However, it's only recently
that students are becoming aware
of the policy, and so
far only
around two parties per semester
get registered.
Basically, the policy states that
if you're 21 or older, you can regis~
ter your party with housing so the
college knows that someone of
legal age is having a party with al-
cohol. I say, why not just have a
big neon marquee outside your
Before I go any further with how
ridiculous this policy is, I'll explain
the process.
First, there is a form you fill out,
accompanied by a long list of rules
and an alcohol chart telling you
the correct proportion of alcohol,
food and other beverages to have
based on the number of people at-
tending (you can get into trouble if
you have more than the correct
proportion). All people attending
must be 21 or older, and no more
than 30 guests can attend a IO-res-
ident house, and you must turn in
all guests' CWIDs to your
RD
two
days before the party.
It's not so much that the rules
are meant to extinguish any and
all parties, because I'm sure the
people at Marist housing are well-
intentioned. The rules are so nar-
row and strict, that I think it
would be a miracle if more than
one was followed at a time. For in-
stance, how many parties have you
been to that were only four hours
long and ended at midnight? Have
you ever been to a party where al-
cohol was provided with no mone-
tary compensation from guests?
Accountability shared in oil spill
By
CHRIS TUREK
Staff Writer
This past spring has been a try-
ing one for oil companies and
Americans alike. An oil rig con-
trolled by British Petroleum (BP)
roalfunctionedthis past spring,
dumping barrel upon barrel of
crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
This caused the largest oil spill in
the Gulf's history and disrupted
its ecosystem, and the livelihood
of those who live and work on the
Gulf coast.
According to an article in
USA
Today, another oil rig in the Gulf
of Mexico exploded early on the
morning of Thursday, Sept. 2.
Luckily, nobody was seriously
harmed by the explosion, all thir-
teen crew members were safely
recovered and no additional oil
was found to have spilled into the
Gulf. While it is great news to
hear that nobody was harmed by
this explosion, it still raises ques-
tions and doubts about the de-
pendability of oil companies
involved in offshore drilling.
The biggest question in this sit-
uation is: who's really to blame
for these failures? At first glance,
it would appear that the blame
falls squarely on the shoulders of
the oil companies. After all, they
are the ones who own and operate
the rigs, and they are the ones
who were mostly responsible for
their placement and installatio~.
However, the real answer appears
to be much more convoluted than
simply blaming big oil.
In the BP oil spill, BP officials
were reluctant to accept all the
blame for the rig failure. While
they allowed the rig to be oper-
ated too soon after installation,
BP also points out that a major
concrete part made by Hallibur-
ton failed as well, Bloomberg.com
reports. This caused natural gas
to build up and explode, which
could have contributed to the fail-
ure of the oil rig. Though this is
true, there are not crowds of peo-
ple calling for Halliburton's head
on a proverbial platter, at least
not for this incident. Though, it is
worth mentioning that Hallibur-
ton is owned by former Vice Pres-
ident Dick Cheney, so you can
draw your own conclusions as to
why this is the case.
The oll companies should be
held responsible for these ex-
plosions and
rig
failures.
In the rig explosion of Sept. 2,
there is still no clear reported rea-
son for why the ;rig failed and ex-
ploded. Because there are more
players in these cases than just
the oil companies, it is difficult to
place all the blame on them,
though the majority of the re-
sponsibility is certainly theirs.
The oil companies should be
held responsible for these explo-
sions and rig failures. However,
responsibility should also fall on
the contracted workers and com-
panies that help install and oper-
ate these rigs. It takes more than
one company to make these rigs a
possibility; it takes more than one
of them to make these rigs fail.

stores at any local mall. Brands like
Copy Chief
BCBG and Citizens of Humanity
It is well-known to women that
she must get through pain to get
beauty, and live without comfort for
fashion. Thankfully, a new creation
has progressed fashion into what I
believe is the right direction. Jeg-
gings are a new style of pants that
essentially combines leggings with
jeans. The idea of a jegging is kind
of true brilliance. What girl loves
squeezing into her skinny jeans? A
simple legging gives off the idea of
working out and comfort, with the
right to go out at night in a pair
with the right top and jacket. A jeg-
ging stands as having the standard
uniform of a jean with the ease of a
legging, while being able to grace
them casually and fashionably.
Girls have been found to be a bit
hesitant of jeggings due to how tight
and snug the pants can be, and how
comfortable a girl is with her body.
Just like a legging, a jegging can po-
tentially show every nook and
cranny of a girl's leg, so whether a
.
girl is willing to show their legs off
can be the deciding factor of
whether or not to like them.
Jeggings are spotted on college
campuses not just on fashion stu-
dents, but anyone who seeks the
positives of this great pair of pants.
''They're comfortable, yet stylish.
Perfect for any outfit," junior and
fashion minor Yasin Binda said.
"Jeggings are as comfortable as
sweatpants and as classy as jeans,"
Communication major Chanel Vi-
tale said.
Jeggings have also been seen all
over Fashion Week in Milan, on
many celebrities and even in retail
carry pairs of jeggings, as well as
stores such as American Eagle,
Abercrombie and Fitch, Forever 21
and TJ Maxx. Celebrities like
Christina Aguilera, Lauren Conrad,
Jessica Alba and Beyonce have been
seen wearing them, both casually
during the day and out at night.
Jeggings have also become a dy.
namic part of both women's and
men's fashion after the fashion-for-
ward pant suggestions shown in
Milan during Fashion Week. I guess
the idea of "meggings" (man-jeg-
gings) have left an influence on de-
signers. Many ready-to-wear Spring
2011 lines in Milan carry man-jeg-
gings as well. The male models are
shown wearing tight pants that are
made of denim, with some donning
funky patterns. A man jegging just
seems wrong. Hugging places that
don't need hugging doesn't really
work on a man.
If
a style can seem
risky on a woman, then usually the
risk would be even worse on a man.
Just like some fashion trends and
pieces work only on certain people
who can pull it off, and I'm sure the
meggings are the same for most
men.
Other than transforming into
"meggings," jeggings have also been
altered into maternity wear. Jeg-
gings have the comfort that every
pregnant woman needs, and still
lets the woman be stylish. Certain
maternity jeggings also have a full
piece of fabric that will cover their
belly so the elastic isn't at their
waist. These jeggings seem to be
fully functional for anyone willing to
try them.

Jeggings provide comfort and style when properly chosen
From Page 3
Remember while wearing jeg-
gings that their elasticity should
make every consumer wear them
as a legging. Since leggings are
sometimes for workouts, and cer-
tain people wear them incorrectly
by exposing wrongful areas, the
same shouldn't be done with jeg-
gings. Long t-shirts and tunics
are worn best with jeggings to
cover the unwanted areas that
should never be exposed to the
public eye. A consumer of jeg-
gings must also remember
that
these new
pants
do not fit like
jeans and do not fit like
leggings,
so trying on a pair will make your
views completely different on the
style
.
Not all jeggings are created
equal.
-Kaltlln Travers
''The quality of the jeggings has
to be considered when purchasing
the item, just as you would with
jeans. Not all jeggings are created
.
equal. A pair from Nordstrom's
will be a better pair than from
Forever 21, due to what it is
made of, and the price will be
compensated, but so will be the
quality. You can't just pick your
size and go to the register .
.
It
is
something you must try
on
and
treat like a good pair
of
jeans,"
Kaitlin Trav
_
ers, a junior, said.
My first experience with jeg-
gings happened in a fitting room
of Macy's in the Poughkeepsie
Galleria. Trying
on
my first pair
of jeggings wasn't qu.ite as intim-
idating as I thought, and as I
stepped out of the fitting room to
show my roommate, one of the
best characteristics we noticed
was how easily
I
could move and
kick in a pair of jeggings. The
feeling of a pair of jeggings seems
like
a
cool breeze next to my tight
and structured skinny jeans.
Having that freedom should
make any girl, or even
a
man,
want to dare to step into
a fitting room
and
tcy
on
their first pair of
jeggings

Oil spills leave room for criticism, doubt in big companies
From Page 3
If
we are to boycott BP; then we
should also be calling for boycotts of
Halliburton and Transocean, one of
the largest offshore drilling compa-
nies that partially owned and oper-
ated the BP rig. As for allowing the
oil companies to begin drilling in
the arctic, I have
.
mixed feelings.
On one hand
,
I'm all for more
drilling for oil. On the other, the
companies have thus far shown
themselves to be incompetent and
dangerous, not only to their
work-
ers, but to the environment and the
livelihoods of thousands of work-
ers, like fishermen who rely on
the ocean for their businesses.
If
the oil companies can show
themselves to be more responsi-
ble and attentive with their cur-
rent offshore drilling ventures,
then we should consider letting
them begin limited drilling in
the arctic. Until then, it is with-
~
in everyone's best interest that
we hold off on arctic drilling, at
least for the time being.

When the Marist College cheerlead-
ers turned to the student section at the
football game this past Saturday and
cheered "Everybody do the Red Fox
Rumble! Everybody do the Red Fox
Rumble! Red Fox! Rumble!," the mem-
bers of the Student Booster Club were
instantly animated. Some just yelled
'
the cheer from their seats, but others,
like juniors Jon Porras and Brianna
Rosamilia got up and did the cheer
movements as well.
''I love the football games,"
Rosamilia
said. ''I not only go to support our team
but also to be one of the few people who
stands up in the bleachers and starts
doing the Red Fox rumble with the
cheerleaders."
This
is
what Marist College Student
Booster Club
is
all about. Booster treas-
urer Patrick Dillon said that the
Booster Club's purpose
is
to have fun
while supporting Marist Athletics.
'The club brings sports fans together
to have a fun, relaxed experience out-
side the classroom, different from the
social nightlife experience," Dillon said.
This year there seems to be many
sports fans at Marist.
At the first meeting alone, which took
place on Wednesday, Sept. 8, there

The Wellness Fair, held this past Fri-
day, Sept. 10, brought in a variety of
vendors and many interested students.
This past second Friday of every fall se-
mester was the event's thirteenth year.
About 61 different companies and or-
ganizations
·
gathered in the McCann
Center with the common
goal
of provid-
ing both students and faculty with the
information and resources they should
use to help lead a healthy lifestyle.
Roberta
Staples from student affairs or-
ganized
this year's
fair
and says that it
is
one of her favorite part;s of her job.
'There's a lot
of
good
energy and
peo-
ple enjoying connecting with each other.
I like
being
part
of something that
peo-
ple enjoy," she said.
The event covered a variety of different
topics regarding wellness. It featured
local fitness centers, traditional and al-
ternative medicine, law enforcement,
healthy food and massage therapy. The
Town of Poughkeepsie Police and Fire
Department were there to provide in-
formation about personal safety. Staples
did not expect these companies to be
part of the fair, ·but faculty members
ended up finding these stands helpful.
''Part of self-care and stress manage-
ment
is
financial
management," Staples
said.
The Wellness Fair tries to include
all
educate the students and faculty on liv-
ing well. They handed out informative
pamphlets and fact sheets to its visitors.
One
fun
fact
from a pamphlet from the
American Heart Association said that a
person gains
two
hours of life expectancy
for each hour of vigorous exercise.
''It's our hope that attendees will not
only learn something new, but perhaps
follow up with a service or agency that
they found helpful," Staples said.
The fair's visitors loved the free food
samples. There were plenty of healthy
food alternatives including frozen fruit
bars, coffee and smoothie samples, all-
natural tortilla chips, yogurt and low-fat
bagels. There were also three different
stands giving free massages. The fair
provided students with resources they
can use off-campus to help themselves
maintain a healthy lifestyle. The
In-
nerLight Health Spa, a new addition to
the fair, handed out coupons for free
yoga and zumba classes and discounted
acupuncture clinics, facials, and
pedi-
cures, providing students with the
chance to relax. The Casablanca Coffee
Co. also had a stand that provided
coupons for healthy breakfast options for
students and Planet Fitness attended
the event to promote their student
membership discount.
The stand that caught everyone's at-
tention was the one provided by the
the Booster president Andrew Paulsen.
Before the club became approved in
May 2009, 'We didn't have
this
turnout,
this
team
spirit," Football Captain Ter-
rence Turner, fifth-year senior, said
when he spoke at the meeting.
Both Dillon and Paulsen said that
there
is
a notable increase in the num-
ber of students that attend games now,
as opposed to the number that at-
tended during their freshman year.
Although the club
is
still
in its infancy,
Booster
has
already made an impact on
campus. The new swipe-in system for
club attendance, for example, came
from the Booster Club. Improving the
campus and sharing with other clubs
is
only one
goal
that the Booster executive
"[University of Central] Missouri, a
Big 12 [conference] school, emailed me
asking for advice on how to start their
own Booster club," Paulsen said.
Paulsen and Dillon take a lot of pride
in what they have done with the club,
but they keep reiterating that they can-
not do it alone.
"It's up to Marist students to make it
possible," they said.
''Pat and I
try
to be a two-man army,"
Paulsen said. But they need all the
help they can get. They encourage
everyone to get out there and do the

Witches roam the history department for interested students
By SHANNON DUNCAN
Circle Contributor
Among
the standard courses of-
fered at Marist each semester, there
stand a select number of special top-
ics courses open to students. These
classes are offered. on a variety of
subjects
and include unique themes
such as a class entitled The Cul-
tural Context of Harry Potter.
Proposed by individual instruc-
tors, each course must be approved
by
a majority vote of the depart-
ment. On occasion, the courses are
taught by adjuncts, but they are
generally
formed around full-time
faculty's interests.
Over the years, the history de-
partment has offered a variety of
special
topics courses. Some courses
have
covered
specific time periods
such as: the Civil War, the Holo-
caust or the French Revolution.
Others covered special themes in-
cluding the Drug Trade
in
Asia, Sex,
Death and Disease, the History of
Rock and Roll and Medieval Cul-
tures
in
Context.
This semester, Dr. Janine Peter-
son
is
teaching a course on Witch-
craft and Sorcery
in
Pre-Modern
Europe. The class covers "the cen-
tral issues that historians have
grappled with when considering the
preoccupation with witchcraft
in
the
fifteenth-eighteenth centuries,"
Pe-
terson said.

"One of the major benefits of these rians have identified and debated
courses
is
they allow
students to
re-
issues surrounding
the course
ally delve deeply into a subject that topic."
Scholarly monographs and pri-
mary sources are the main texts for
the class.
In
fact, Peterson has writ-
ten an article on one of the class
readings that
will be published next
summer.
While the courses are open to any
student, Peterson shared some
words of wisdom to consider when
signing up for a
special
topics
course.
"History
special topics courses are
extremely reading and writing
in-
tensive, so class size is limited," she
said.
''Majors
usually get a priority
since most special topics are 300-
level and they need a certain num-
ber of these for their requirements,
but anyone enthusiastic about the
subject and willing to do the. work
can sign up and are welcome. I've
had lots of motivated, thoughtful
and dedicated students from other
majors in my courses."
Overall, special topics courses
seem to be a rewarding and enjoy-
able experience for students. "In
exit interviews the department held
last spring, we asked our graduat-
ing seniors a number of questions,
including how they felt about the
special topics classes," Professor
Mark Morreale, the chair of the eng-
lish department said ''The response
was overwhelmingly positive. As a
matter of fact, many requested that
we offer more such classes in the
fu-
ture."

Hide away your hangovers
By
MICHAEL BERNARDINI
Circle Contributor
With syllabus week behind us,
it's time for that rough transi-
tion into fall. Work starts to pile
up, morning classes become a
drag, and one begins to question
their rationale in opting for so
many 8:00 a.m. classes. What
better way to relieve stress and
break away from

Cannavino
than a night out on the town
- Po-town,
that is. Regardless of
how fun (or well-deserved) a
night of excessive partying can
be, one pays for it
-
and pays for
it hard- the next day (especially
when one has class a mere four
hours after getting dropped off
by Phatz at Donnelly). Here are
some helpful tips to successfully
avoid revealing that dreaded
hangover in class and quickly re-
turn to slumber.
Kindly remove the stilettos
and miniskirt.
Nothing screams "I'm a hot
mess!" quite like rolling into
class with six inch hooker heels
or beer-soaked jeans. Throw on
some sweats and walk into

lege student.

Hanging on to that hangover?
Be
a class act and clean
up before
heading to
campus.
Keep quiet ... for now.
Professors always encourage
students to ask questions and
provide feedback. But your un-
friendly, lion-like groans and
moans
paired
with
your
Smirnoff-sweating pores will
give you away in no time.
Be more incognito than Bat-
man.
Your hair looks like a rat's
nest. Your skin looks a mess.
You smell like a cab driver.
Cover all traces of your night
out by showing up with a hood, a
hat or even sunglasses. The
more discreet and unnoticed you
are, the better.
Bring sustenance.
Even t~ough you feel like sip-
presented by
your stomach from performing a
gastronomic symphony for the class.
Be sure to come as prepared
as possible.
Don't mention any detail of
your night. Make sure all work
is finished. You can, and will,
make the best of it. You can
have the night of your life filled
with picture-snapping, shot-tak-
ing and booty-bumping, but you
cannot forget the reason you're
here: to get an education. Keep
the wild nights to a relative min-
imum and give these tips a try.
That hour and fifteen minutes
may seem like a decade, and
your professor's voice can sound
like a wild animal being mauled
to death, but you need to cover
your traces and continue on your
way to a full, sober recovery.

It is always sad to watch the lazy
days of summer come to a close, but
we all have to realize that fall can be
just as enjoyable. Sure, the transi-
tion means trading hot girls in biki-
nis on the beach for treacherous
work and classrooms, but with fall
also comes (drum roll, please) new
television. This fall, the major net-
works are not only bringing back
your favorites, but have a line-up of
hot new shows. Below are some
shows worth checking out.
"Nikita" (Action) Thursdays @ 9
pm on the
CW
(premiered 9/9)
''Nikita" is the story of a spy/assas-
sin played by Maggie
Q
(The show
also stars Shane West.) This tough
female agent has gone rogue and is
seeking revenge on her former em-
ployees. Little does she know the se-
cret government agency she left is
training
a new breed of killers.
''Nikita"
already has a reputation for
being full of action-packed enter-
tainment.
''Better With You" (Comedy)
Wednesdays@ 8:30 on ABC (premieres
9/22)
The series follows the lives of two in-
credibly different sisters
as
they deal
with their relationship, and are criti-
cized
by their parents along the way.
The
cast
is filled with many reoognizable
faces like Joanna Garcia from the CW's
recently cancelled ''Privileged," and who
could forget Debra Jo Rupp from 'That
7(is Show?"(she played
Kitty
Forman
in
case you forgot.) Sure it probably won't
be
an Emmy winner, but with
stars
like
these how could it not
be
funny?
"The Event'' (Thriller/Drama) Mon-
days@ 9
on
NBC (premieres 9/20)
Jason
Ritter leads
this large
familiar-
faced cast
in
this
''Flash
Forward'' style
drama. The storyline is about a man
who searches for
his
missing girlfriend
but soon
finds
himself caught
in
a
dan-
gerous situation and sticky government
conspiracy. For everyone out there who's
still having a ''Lost" hangover, this
seems to
be
another show sure
to
have a
cult following. If you're still
missing
''Lost" then check out the remake of
"Hawaii Five-0'
starring
Danielle Dae
Kim (Sept. 20,
c~.
"Law
&
Order: Los Angeles"
(Drama/ Mystery) Wednesdays@
10 on NBC (premie:rs 9/29)
For all of you out there who
thought "Law & Order" dis-
missed its last case, think again.
The franchise is back this sea-
son, this time in Los Angeles,
filled with more enticing legal
drama. How could it be bad?
"Running Wilde" (Comedy)
Tuesdays @ 9:30 on Fox (pre-
mieres 9/21)
Funnyman Will Arnett and
Kerri Russel star in this roman-
tic comedy show about a spoiled
Beverly Hills oil tycoon (Arnett).
Suddenly his old high school
flame, and environmental ac-
tivist (Russel), walks back into
his life, and he thinks he can be
a better person. The trailer
looks like it will be hilarious.
Previewing fall blockbusters worth checking out

Circle Contributor
The temperature may be begin-
ning to drop here in Poughkeepsie,
but that does not mean the quality
of this season's movies has to do the
same. In fact, the multiplex is the
place to be this fall, with films com-
ing out that satisfy even the harsh-
est of critics.
Animated
"Alpha and Omega" (9/17) Notable
Cast Members: Justin Long, Hay-
den Panettiere, Christina Ricci,
Danny Glover, Dennis Hopper,
Larry Miller.
Synopsis: Get ready for the road
trip of a lifetime with Kate and
Humphrey, (Panettiere and Long)
two wolves desperate to return
home after being abducted by park
rangers and hauled completely
across the country.
A
comedic twist
on the classic Cinderella story,
Humphrey is considered an Omega
who is used to cracking jokes and
hanging out with his other animal
pals. Kate, on the other hand, is a
type-A Alpha, dedicated to duty and
discipline. Will these two personal-
ities be able to put their issues aside
to not only make it back home, but
to restore the peace between two
rival wolf packs?"
Why it's worth checking out:
A
little bit "Finding Nemo/' a little bit
"When Harry Met Sally,"
"Alpha
and Omega" seems like the perfect
escape from the pressures of home-
work, internships, and projects.
There's nothing like 88 minutes of
animated comedy to help alleviate
the stress that college life brings. In
addition, the film's beautifully con-
structed scenery should be inspira-
tion enough to get out of your room,
smell the fresh air, and appreciate
the wildlife surrounding campus.
Drama
.
''Wall Street: Money Never
Sleeps" (10/1) Notable Cast Mem-
bers: Shia La~eouf, Michael Dou-
glas,
Frank
Langella,
Carey
Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Josh
Brolin.
Synopsis: Returning to the action
after a long prison sentence, Gordon
Gekko (Douglas) discovers he is now
an outsider looking in on the busi-
ness world he once had ultimate
control over.

Kanye West "Runaway" -
Kanye West performed his most
sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek song of
his career at the MTVVMAs. ''Run-
away," a song that boasts a chorus
that goes a little something like
''Let's have a toast for the
douchebags / Let's have a toast for
the assholes
I
Let's have a toast for
the scumbags" may appear to be an-
other act in Kanye West's childish
tirade, when in reality it's more of a
mockery of his past behaviors. The
tone of the chorus is more mature
than the lyrics let on, acknowledg-
ing his flaws and laughing at his
own faults are a universally relat-
able theme that even big superstars
like Kanye West deal with. We all
have growing pains. Maybe a few
years down the road Taylor Swift
will
laugh at her 20-year-old self for
performing that overly melodra-
matic song that may or may not be
about Kanye West. Less than 24
hours after the performance a stu-
dio version of ''Runaway'' surfaced
online.
Unfortunately, the studio version
falls short of matching the superior-
ity of the VMA performance. The
'1ook at you" sample is absent in the
studio rendition. It's a shame be-
cause it perfectly suited the song.
The sample took on the role of this
older, wiser figure that was disci-
plining Kanye West for his past be-
havior and it took on a much more
personal level. Even the sample
West reused from Rick Ross' ''Live
Fast and Die Young" (" And I wanna
show you how you all look like beau-
tiful stars tonight") worked well
within the song's context.
The distorted Auto-Tuned sung
bridge, al.so absent in the studio
rendition, clashing with the strings
was the ingredient that made "Run-
away" a culmination of Kanye
West's musical repertoire. The song
echoes his upbeat, old-school soul
sampling days of "The College
Dropout" and "Late Registration"
while meshing his electro elements
of "Graduation" and "808s & Heart-
break." All these components are
present in their best form in "Run-
away," and distinguish West as an
artist constantly reworking his
ideas and tryihg to perfect them to
create the grand masterpiece. ''Run-
away'' is damn close to Kanye
West's masterpiece. The whole
sound is undeniably old-school hip-
hop (RZA of the Wu Tang Clan was
a producer on the track) yet fresh
and modern.
Kanye West has been known to
leak rough versions of his songs,
and the vocal tracks do sound un-
polished, so it's possible we'll hear a
revised version of
''Runaway''
when
November rolls around. Hopefully
we get a better
studio
representa-
tion of West's pop art.

Fall movie preview cites the 'must-sees' of the season
Trying to repair a damaged rela-
tionship with his daughter (Mulli-
gan), Gekko begins to bond with her
fiance, Jacob (LaBeout). Their
friendship soon breeds something
much darker. With Gekko teaching
Jacob the ins and outs of criminal
investments, the audience quickly
learns
that Gekko is a master ma-
nipulator who will stop at nothing
in order to reach his goals.
Why
it's worth checking
out:
After experiencing the worst eco-
nomic downturn since the Great De-
pression,
what's
better
than
checking out some of the corruption
that goes on behind the scenes on
Wall Street? The romance between
real-life couple LaBeouf and Mulli-'
gan should add to the entertain-
ment factor of this flJ.ck.
"The Social Network" (10/1) No-
table Cast Members: Jesse Eisen-
berg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew
Garfield, Rashida Jones.
Synopsis: A movie destined to be
a cult phenomenon, ''The Social Net-
work," tells the story of how the gen-
eration-defining Facebook came into
existence. It all started in 2003,
when Harvard undergrad Mark
Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) began to lay
the groundwork of the social net-
working site that would later alter
the way humans communicate.
Within six years, Zuckerberg be-
came the youngest billionaire in his-
tory, but that is just the beginning.
Zuckerberg's social experiment
began to turn into a monster, as he
battled legal disputes. What's one to
do
when your
500 million
online
friends are dying to watch you fail?
Why it's worth checking out:
With Facebook originally designed
with young adults in mind, ''The So-
cial Network" is a must see for the
college student whose lives, emo-
tions and relationships are essen-
tially controlled by this networking
site. This film also acts as a great
muse for youth with a dream -
Zuckerberg shows us that following
your heart can reap plenty of re-
wards.
Comedy
''You Again'' (9/24) PG-13: No-
table Cast Members: Kristin Bell,
Jamie-Lee Curtis, Betty White.
Synopsis: Public relations expert
Marni (Bell) heads home for her
brothers wedding only to find out
that his blushing bride-to-be is her
dreaded high school enemy, who has
conveniently forgotten about their
awkward past.
Why
it's
worth
checking
out:
Comedies are the perfect escape
from college life. College kids de-
serve to sit back and enjoy some
predictable humor and the usual
happy ending to restore our faith in
humanity.
If
all else fails, count on
Betty White to secure some laughs.
Horror
"Case 39" (10/1) Notable Cast
Members: Renee Zellweger, Bradley
Cooper.
Synopsis: Social worker Emily
Jenkins (Zellweger) is driven to re-
move young Lillith from her home
after witnessing how cruelly her
parents treat her. While
looking
for
a foster family for
Lillith,
Emily dis-
covers the troubles that surround
this na'ive girl. The more Emily
tries to help, the more horrors she
encounters.
Why it's
worth
checking
out:
Premiering at the beginning of the
"scariest
month of the year," it's cus-
tomary to see a horror flick before
Oct. 31. Bradley Cooper ("The
Hangover") steps out of the comedy
zone and has the possibility of turn-
ing being more frightening than
"Case 39" itself.

Cross Country
makes Bowdoin Park home
By
MIKE WALSH
Staff Writer
For cross country runners, there
are few
simple
joys in life. To many
people, these joys are unusual. But
just ask one of the members Marist
Cross Country teams and they will
passionately explain things like
"runner's
high." They will fervently
describe the feeling that manifests
deep in their chests as they kick
down the final straightaway toward
the finish line of a race while fans
line the course cheering and push-
ing them to run harder.
Since they don't the cross country
teams do not tompete on campus,
the student body may not realize
where these two teams race. We see
them jogging around campus and
up and down Rt. 9, but don't under-
stand why they are putting in all
that effort. For this reason, I en-
listed the help of sophomore runner
Joel Moss to show me around Bow-
doin Park; Marist's de facto home
course.
Just a short 10 minute drive south
on Rt. 9 and a right hand turn leads
to a beautiful open park. The park
consists of baseball and soccer
fields, playgrounds, gazebos and
cookout spaces.
This is where
Marist Cross Country met with
MAAC opponents St. Peter's, Fair-
field and Siena the first weekend in
September.
Bowdoin Park, like the entire
Hudson River Valley, is as scenic as
parks come. The aesthetic views
add to the simple joy of jogging on a
beautiful day through some scenic
trails and fields. However, Bowdoin
(which measures out to ~n even 5K)
is not all dainty views and down-
hills, as Moss warned me while we
started our jog. "Hill top hill is a
killer on your legs later in the race,"
said Joel.
Bowdoin fills runners with confi-
dence at the start as they sprint
across a soccer field and onto a
gravely dirt path as the course nar-
rows out from a wide starting line.
The first few minor hills give you lit-
tle trouble and are visible to view-
ers as they cheer on the athletes.
We crossed a street and slipped be-
hind a shed, and when I spoke into
my tape recorder for the first time, I
was barely out of breath. However,
Hill Top, "the hardest and most tir-
ing part of the race," was staring us
in the face, as Moss put it.
This is where the Marist runners
begin to pass and separate them-
selves from the competition. Typi-
cally, Joel takes it conservatively
after a quick burst at the beginning.
He starts quickly to avoid being
trapped in a pack until h-e reaches
Hill Top, which is just over a mile
in.
Hill Top doesn't look like much
from the base. Only once you begin
the ascent do you realize that it
winds and wraps around corners to
reveal a more inclining trail. You
must try to keep your focus and eyes
up, while also avoiding rocks and
roots emerging from the dirt path.
At my second brief recorder stop,
my breathing was noticeably la-
bored as I looked forward to a nice
breezy downhill to the finish. "As
soon as you get up this hill, the
course eases up and i~ mainly
down-
hill," said
Joel.
However, the race course was far
from complete. We then headed
down a steep decline back to the
main Bowden road. We crossed and
began a similar path to the way the
course started. After retracing of
our steps briefly, we passed a metal
fence which marks 1000 meters to
go.
From this point, the course fea-
tures more running alongside a field
before heading back into a wooded
path for a couple hundred meters.
At last, you begin your final kick,
hoping to outlast the runners be-

hind you and use those in front of
you as motivation. The finish is a
few feet short of third base on the
baseball diamond, the final sprint is
through left field, where fans and
coaches will line up and push you
the final hundred meters.
With the help of coaches Pete Co-
laizzo of the men's team and Chuck
Williams for the women, this course
has been mastered by Marist run-
ners. Both teams won their respec-
tive invitational at park on Sept. 4
to open the 2010 season.
For the men, juniors Adam Vess
and Matt Flint placed first and sec-
ond, breaking Girma Segni's course
record and recording the first ever
sub 16:00 minute race at Bowdoin.
Both racers crossed at 15:59. Soph-
omore Arquimedes DelaCruz (3rd,
16:28), and a pair of freshmen, Ken
Walshak ( 4th, 16:39) and Nick
Hughes (6th, 16:41) rounded out the
scoring for Marist, giving the Red
Foxes 16 points to Fairfield's 48.
Joel Moss added insurance for
Marist, placing 20th in 17:11. The
Men's performance pushed their
USTFCCCA ranking to number 11
in the Northeast, up three spots
from their preseason ranking.
Racing earlier that day, the
women also won the meet in im-
pressive fashion, with their five
placing runners finishing in the top
six overall. Kiersten Anderson, a
freshman from Scotia, NY wasted
no time in shattering the course
record in her Marist debut perform-
ance, finishing first overall with a
time of 19:13. Sophomore Katie
Messina finished second in 20:27,
junior Briana Crowe placed third in
20:58, and sophomore Erin O'Reilly
crossed 6th overall in 21:01. Senior
captain Julie Hudak and classmate
Jillian Courtley were honored in a
Senior Day Ceremony, placed fourth
in 20:58. The Red Foxes handily de-
feated Fairfield.
Both teams head to Van Cortlandt
Park in the Bronx this weekend for
Saturday's Iona Meet of Champi-
ons.
Red Foxes meet Cavaliers, reigning NCAA champions

The Marist men's soccer team
handed unbeaten Adelphi their first
loss of the season this past week, be-
fore dropping a hard fought battle
with defending national champion
Virginia.
The Foxes traveled to Garden
City, N.Y. on Thursday night for a
match against Adelphi. The Pan-
thers entered the match with a 2-0
record and were recently recognized
by the National Soccer Coaches
As-
sociation of America for receiving 16
votes in the NSCAA poll. Marist
was coming off a twQ-game losing
streak and head coach Matt Vig-
giano was focused on getting his
squad out of their slump.
"I wanted to see them play with
conviction," he said. "They needed to
have passion and to have a love for
the game. I wanted them to remem-
her why we play this game."
The Foxes responded to Viggiano' s
words and scored early to take a one
goal lead. Sophomore standout
Stephan Brossard hit the back of
the net in the eighth minute for the
forward's second goal of the season
and the first allowed by Adelphi this

win I've had since I've been
here."

year. Brossard's goal proven to be
enough to win as Marist's defense
stifled the Panthers and senior goal-
keeper Joe Pilla stopped four shots
in a 1-0 victory.
"I felt that it was the biggest
win
I've had since I've been here," Vig-
giano said.
"In
the last three years
we haven't really beaten a great
team. Last year, the final game
against Siena was the first time we
beat a team with a winning record.
Adelphi hasn't lost at home since
September of 2007, so this
win
just
shows the character of our guys."
Viggiano partly attributes the
shutout to the health of the defense,
which had seen some injuries as of
late.
"It was the first time that we had
the back four that we had envi-
sioned in the preseason," he said.
"To
win
1-0 on the road and to hold
on
to
that lead all game long shows
a lot about that defense's guts."
The win put Marist on the North
Atlantic Regional Poll, coming in at
number six, two spots ahead of
Adelphi.
Up next for the Foxes was the Uni-
versity of Virginia Cavaliers, who
entered the match ranked No. 2 in
the nation, coming
off
of a 2-2 draw
against No. 7 Duke. Viggiano made
sure his players enjoyed what he
knew was a special opportunity for
them to partake
in
such a high level
of competition.
"I told them to just enjoy the ex-
perience," he said. "There's a lot of
history here in Virginia. Guys here
have played on the national team,
in World Cups and we have nothing
to lose. They met the president the
other day, and they're going to be
looking right past us. I told them to
go. out there and let them know
we're no one to look past."
The Foxes came out fighting
against on Tuesday night, and de-
spite owning a four to three lead in
shots on goal, entered halftime
down 2-0. That score would hold up
through the final whistle, but the
visitors undoubtedly left feeling con-
fident as they matched the defend-
ing champs in shots on goal with six
and kept the Cavaliers scoreless in
the second half.

Fox recalls season shared with NFL superstar
By PHILIP TERRIGNO
Managing Editor
As
Kees (CASE) Coughlin watched
the first Monday Night Football
game of the 2010 NFL season, he
couldn't help but feel special.
Millions tuned in to ESPN
to
see
the Baltimore Ravens and the New
York Jets battle, but Coughlin knew
that he possessed a stronger con-
nection to arguably the biggest play-
maker on the field than anyone else.
More intimate than being a fan,
far more important than owning
him on a fantasy football roster and
much more special than wearing his
jersey,
Coughlin can call Balti-
more's Ray Rice his teammate and
friend.
''I'm one of the very few who [peo-
ple] who can say that they have a
friend [playing] on Monday Night
Football,"
Coughlin
explained.
'Words can't really describe it."
Coughlin's connection with the
standout halfback began during
their playing days
_
as children in the
same youth tackle football league
but was cemented during one spe-
cial football season at New Rochelle
High School.
The year was 2004 and domina-
tion was the theme.
Coughlin, then a sophomore in
high school, transferred to New
Rochelle after playing his freshmen
season at Mamaroneck, another
high school in Westchester County,
N.Y.
He joined a New Rochelle
Huguenots football squad that had
won the New York State title the
season before and appeared primed
to do the same.
The roster brimmed with Division
1 talent, including players that
would head to Rutgers, Stanford,
Central Connecticut State, SUNY
Maritime and Youngstown State.
Christian Brothers Academy
(CBA) from Syracuse,
N.Y.,
a school
then ranked 13 nationally by
http://USAToday.com, was the only
team that tainted the Huguenots
record as New Rochelle finished
with an 11-1 mark on the year.
Equally as talented as New
Rochelle, CBA's roster included
Greg Paulus, who would go on to
play point guard at Duke and one
year of quarterback at Syracuse
University.
Their only loss came in the state
title game, a 41-35 shootout in
which Paulus threw for 376 yards
and Rice broke his collarbone late in
the second half.
Coughlin started at linebacker in
the contest, an honor for any sopho-
more.
"Being able to play in the Carrier
dome was amazing but [Rice] get-
ting hurt was the deciding factor,"
Coughlin said.
"If
[Rice] was in the
second half, we probably would
have won and I would have a state
championship ring, but it didn't
work out that way. It's a memory
that I'm never going to forget."
Coughlin played two more seasons
at New Rochelle after Rice gradu-
ated in 2005, but his career path
went in a slightly different direction
than some of his teammates, who
went to compete at larger schools.
After being lightly recruited by
Syracuse, Maryland and Rutgers,
Marist contacted Coughlin late in
the signing period.
''The three big schools kind of
dragged me along.
I
realized that
I
wasn't going to be getting any big
school scholarships," Coughlin said.
"Marist came to me late
in
the
process, and I liked it. It was a per-
fect fit."
Coughlin's on-field production has
steadily risen during his first three
seasons as his role in the defense
has increased. He finished with 66
tackles, two sacks and one fumble
recovery last season. He started off
this campaign with a crucial inter-
ception in Marist's recent victory
over Bucknell.

DAN NOVEMBER/THE CIRCLE
After tallying 66 tackles and two sacks last season, Kees Coughlin (above)
is
using his
excellent football
pedigree
to
have a bigger impact this campaign.
''The first two years, we didn't get
a lot out of him, then last year, he
has a really solid year," defensive
coordinator Scott Rumsey said. "He
wasn't in the preseason a lot be-
cause of an injury, so he had a little
catching up
to
do. In the second
game, it was tailored to what he
does best."
Sophomores Tyler Ramsey and
Isaac Sine have composed the
Marist starting linebacker core
along with Coughlin, the lone sen-
ior.
"Kees, as the only senior, leads by
example, not really with words,"
Sine said. ''What he does on the
field, we take it to heart. "
A nagging pectoral injury was the
ailment that affected Coughlin in
the preseason and caused him to
miss early practices.
"[Kees] was out and he was hurt,
but he still came to practice," Ram-
sey said. "He watched everything
and made us better when he was
hurt."
Marist sorely needs a defensive
leader to emerge after the departure
of Nick Andre and Kevin Foley;
20·10 graduates that combined for
1 79 tackles during the 2009 season.
"Being the only senior, the [un-
derclassmen] definitely look up to
me to try and guide them along,"
Coughlin said. 'With the young
guys, I'm trying to do the best that I
·can
to help them."
·
A strong football pedigree after a
career at New Rochelle High School
and three seasons under Jim
Parady's system certainly nominate
Coughlin to be one of the team's de-
fensive leaders, something the Red
Foxes value in this season's attempt
to improve on 2009's 7-4 overall
record.
"I don't know which [defense] is
going to show up on a given night.
Maybe the Sacred Heart [loss] was
just first week jitters," Coughlin
said. "I feel like we are a great de-
fen$e and we can be just as good as
we were last year. I'm looking for-
ward to what this year holds.
There's a good chance we can go out
there and beat everyone."
Coughlin grew up football-wise
amongst stars, as a sophomore
starting on a high school defense
that featured an NFL star. Now,
Marist sophomores and underclass-
men are growing up football-wise
next to a senior who is ready to lead
them into a PFL season to remem-
ber.

First Marist Red Fox Trot finishes a success
ByJIM URSO
Sports Editor
Twelve-year-old Luke Timm of
Poughkeepsie has something to
boast about at his dinner table. On
a beautiful day in the Hudson Val-
ley, Timm, who is a middle school
student at Holy Trinity School,
crossed the finish line of a 5K before
his entire family.
Timm was one of the 246 runners
who partook in the first annual
Marist Red Fox Trot 5K Saturday.
The event served as an opportunity
for Marist Athletics to strengthen
and maintain ties to key con-
stituencies, including community
members like the Timms.
"It was a pretty nice course, but
the hills were difficult," said Timm,
who finished the race in 19:57, one
spot and two seconds behind Marist
Athletic Director Tim Murray. The
race was completely contained on
campus; it started and finished on
the east bank of the Hudson River
at Marist's historic Cornell Boat-
house.
Luke Timm is no stranger to dis-
tance running. He's a veteran of the
kid's division of the Dutchess
County Classic.
Timm's father, Fred Timm, 47, fin-
ished the race 28 seconds after his
oldest son at 20:25. The Timm fam-
ily attends many of the Marist bas-
ketball games and enjoys running
together.
"I just try to do enough with them
to get them motivated to do more on
their own," Fred Timm said. "I want
my kids to be active."
In regards to losing to his son,
Fred Timm joked "It's not the first
RYAN HUITON/ THE CIRCLE
time."
To maintain bragging rights, Luke
Timm better to keep training. His
younger sister Caroline, 10, finished
third among women 19 and under,
making it back to Boathouse in a
time of 22:31. She also competes in
the kid's division of the "Dutchess
County Classic." Once she hits her
growth spurt, Luke could be in trou-
ble. And
if
Caroline decides to take
up another sport, younger brother
Nick could be formidable competi-
tion in the future. The 9-year-old
finished the race in a time of 24:25.
The race was sponsored by the
Red Fox Club in conjunction with
the Mid-Hudson Road Runners
Club and saw runners representing
five different states. All proceeds of
the race will benefit Marist's Divi-
sion I athletics programs.
Marist Track and Field alumnus
Michael Cocca drove to Poughkeep-
sie from Suffield, Connecticut to
participate in the event. Cocca ran
sprints during his track and field
career, and continues to train. Nev-
ertheless, the 22-year-old wasn't too
confident entering the race.
"I'll probably get burned," Cocca
said jokingly before the race.
Cocca crossed the finish line at the
20: 17 mark. "The hills at the begin-
ning were tough," Cocca said. The
race provided an opportunity for the
young alumnus to see his coach and
other friends from the track & field
program, as well as visit his sister,
who is a junior at Marist.
Senior Kaiti Decker ran the 5K
with six of her friends. Decker runs
consistently, and traveled to San
Diego in June to run in a marathon.

from the surrounding Hudson Val-

students could become aware of the
benefits of local produce, the effort

ers and craftsmen alike brought
everything from fresh fruit and veg-
etables, to jewelery and poultry. The
market drew a steady flow of stu-

of the available goods. Because of
it's continued appeal, the market

like a natural fit.
"It was really cool to run a race
where I've been running for the past
four years," said Decker, who is
from Fishkill.
On getting up early on Saturday
morning, the 20-year-old didn't
have too hard of a time. "We took it
easy on Friday night," Decker said.
"It was a different kind of Saturday
experience but totally worth it."
The male overall winner was
Marist Cross Country/Track and
Field alumnus Mike Rolek with a
time of 15:17.33. The women's over-
all winner was Julie Delimon from
Morristown, N.J., with a time of

two tickets to a Marist Men's Bas-

No matter where they finished,
racers of all ages and skill levels en-
joyed the wonderful weather.
"I already appreciate where we go
to school," Decker said, "but run-

me ten times more proud of the fact
that I go to Marist. It was the per-

Before anything, I promised

Housing 'party fouls' with rule-ridden policy
By
MONICA SPERANZA
Fulton house
flashing
"GET
Staff Writer
SLOSHED HERE"?
Here is what we all know about
Marist College and alcohol: a)
there is dry housing for under-
classmen and wet housing for up-
perclassmen; b) if someone under
21 years old is caught drinking/in
possession of alcohol or around al -
cohol, there will be trouble; and c)
if someone over 21 years old is
caught illegally providing alcohol,
there will also be trouble.
To "remedy" the situation of peo-
ple being written up left and right
because of alcohol,- Marist Housing
developed a party policy. The pol-
icy was developed 14 years ago, ac-
cording to Jeffery Kaine, assistant
director of housing and residential
life. However, it's only recently
that students are becoming aware
of the policy, and so
far only
around two parties per semester
get registered.
Basically, the policy states that
if you're 21 or older, you can regis~
ter your party with housing so the
college knows that someone of
legal age is having a party with al-
cohol. I say, why not just have a
big neon marquee outside your
Before I go any further with how
ridiculous this policy is, I'll explain
the process.
First, there is a form you fill out,
accompanied by a long list of rules
and an alcohol chart telling you
the correct proportion of alcohol,
food and other beverages to have
based on the number of people at-
tending (you can get into trouble if
you have more than the correct
proportion). All people attending
must be 21 or older, and no more
than 30 guests can attend a IO-res-
ident house, and you must turn in
all guests' CWIDs to your
RD
two
days before the party.
It's not so much that the rules
are meant to extinguish any and
all parties, because I'm sure the
people at Marist housing are well-
intentioned. The rules are so nar-
row and strict, that I think it
would be a miracle if more than
one was followed at a time. For in-
stance, how many parties have you
been to that were only four hours
long and ended at midnight? Have
you ever been to a party where al-
cohol was provided with no mone-
tary compensation from guests?
Accountability shared in oil spill
By
CHRIS TUREK
Staff Writer
This past spring has been a try-
ing one for oil companies and
Americans alike. An oil rig con-
trolled by British Petroleum (BP)
roalfunctionedthis past spring,
dumping barrel upon barrel of
crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
This caused the largest oil spill in
the Gulf's history and disrupted
its ecosystem, and the livelihood
of those who live and work on the
Gulf coast.
According to an article in
USA
Today, another oil rig in the Gulf
of Mexico exploded early on the
morning of Thursday, Sept. 2.
Luckily, nobody was seriously
harmed by the explosion, all thir-
teen crew members were safely
recovered and no additional oil
was found to have spilled into the
Gulf. While it is great news to
hear that nobody was harmed by
this explosion, it still raises ques-
tions and doubts about the de-
pendability of oil companies
involved in offshore drilling.
The biggest question in this sit-
uation is: who's really to blame
for these failures? At first glance,
it would appear that the blame
falls squarely on the shoulders of
the oil companies. After all, they
are the ones who own and operate
the rigs, and they are the ones
who were mostly responsible for
their placement and installatio~.
However, the real answer appears
to be much more convoluted than
simply blaming big oil.
In the BP oil spill, BP officials
were reluctant to accept all the
blame for the rig failure. While
they allowed the rig to be oper-
ated too soon after installation,
BP also points out that a major
concrete part made by Hallibur-
ton failed as well, Bloomberg.com
reports. This caused natural gas
to build up and explode, which
could have contributed to the fail-
ure of the oil rig. Though this is
true, there are not crowds of peo-
ple calling for Halliburton's head
on a proverbial platter, at least
not for this incident. Though, it is
worth mentioning that Hallibur-
ton is owned by former Vice Pres-
ident Dick Cheney, so you can
draw your own conclusions as to
why this is the case.
The oll companies should be
held responsible for these ex-
plosions and
rig
failures.
In the rig explosion of Sept. 2,
there is still no clear reported rea-
son for why the ;rig failed and ex-
ploded. Because there are more
players in these cases than just
the oil companies, it is difficult to
place all the blame on them,
though the majority of the re-
sponsibility is certainly theirs.
The oil companies should be
held responsible for these explo-
sions and rig failures. However,
responsibility should also fall on
the contracted workers and com-
panies that help install and oper-
ate these rigs. It takes more than
one company to make these rigs a
possibility; it takes more than one
of them to make these rigs fail.

The 'skinny' on being pro-jegging

stores at any local mall. Brands like
Copy Chief
BCBG and Citizens of Humanity
It is well-known to women that
she must get through pain to get
beauty, and live without comfort for
fashion. Thankfully, a new creation
has progressed fashion into what I
believe is the right direction. Jeg-
gings are a new style of pants that
essentially combines leggings with
jeans. The idea of a jegging is kind
of true brilliance. What girl loves
squeezing into her skinny jeans? A
simple legging gives off the idea of
working out and comfort, with the
right to go out at night in a pair
with the right top and jacket. A jeg-
ging stands as having the standard
uniform of a jean with the ease of a
legging, while being able to grace
them casually and fashionably.
Girls have been found to be a bit
hesitant of jeggings due to how tight
and snug the pants can be, and how
comfortable a girl is with her body.
Just like a legging, a jegging can po-
tentially show every nook and
cranny of a girl's leg, so whether a
.
girl is willing to show their legs off
can be the deciding factor of
whether or not to like them.
Jeggings are spotted on college
campuses not just on fashion stu-
dents, but anyone who seeks the
positives of this great pair of pants.
''They're comfortable, yet stylish.
Perfect for any outfit," junior and
fashion minor Yasin Binda said.
"Jeggings are as comfortable as
sweatpants and as classy as jeans,"
Communication major Chanel Vi-
tale said.
Jeggings have also been seen all
over Fashion Week in Milan, on
many celebrities and even in retail
carry pairs of jeggings, as well as
stores such as American Eagle,
Abercrombie and Fitch, Forever 21
and TJ Maxx. Celebrities like
Christina Aguilera, Lauren Conrad,
Jessica Alba and Beyonce have been
seen wearing them, both casually
during the day and out at night.
Jeggings have also become a dy.
namic part of both women's and
men's fashion after the fashion-for-
ward pant suggestions shown in
Milan during Fashion Week. I guess
the idea of "meggings" (man-jeg-
gings) have left an influence on de-
signers. Many ready-to-wear Spring
2011 lines in Milan carry man-jeg-
gings as well. The male models are
shown wearing tight pants that are
made of denim, with some donning
funky patterns. A man jegging just
seems wrong. Hugging places that
don't need hugging doesn't really
work on a man.
If
a style can seem
risky on a woman, then usually the
risk would be even worse on a man.
Just like some fashion trends and
pieces work only on certain people
who can pull it off, and I'm sure the
meggings are the same for most
men.
Other than transforming into
"meggings," jeggings have also been
altered into maternity wear. Jeg-
gings have the comfort that every
pregnant woman needs, and still
lets the woman be stylish. Certain
maternity jeggings also have a full
piece of fabric that will cover their
belly so the elastic isn't at their
waist. These jeggings seem to be
fully functional for anyone willing to
try them.

Jeggings provide comfort and style when properly chosen
From Page 3
Remember while wearing jeg-
gings that their elasticity should
make every consumer wear them
as a legging. Since leggings are
sometimes for workouts, and cer-
tain people wear them incorrectly
by exposing wrongful areas, the
same shouldn't be done with jeg-
gings. Long t-shirts and tunics
are worn best with jeggings to
cover the unwanted areas that
should never be exposed to the
public eye. A consumer of jeg-
gings must also remember
that
these new
pants
do not fit like
jeans and do not fit like
leggings,
so trying on a pair will make your

Not all jeggings are created

''The quality of the jeggings has
to be considered when purchasing
the item, just as you would with
jeans. Not all jeggings are created

equal. A pair from Nordstrom's
will be a better pair than from
Forever 21, due to what it is
made of, and the price will be
compensated, but so will be the

Student Booster Club recruits new enthusiastic members
board has for the club.
The biggest goal
is
to keep gaining
more members.
In
the meeting,
Paulsen said that he anticipates
around 1,000 Booster members this
year.
This
is important, because the
board
is
looking toward freshmen and
sophomores to take over the club after
they graduate. They also want to keep
improving the smoothness of the clubs
internal workings.
"We've been examining going to other
events," Paulsen said. ''Maybe start
going to club game instead of just var-
sity sports."
Booster
is
recognized on campus for
doing great things, but how we
stack
up
to other Booster clubs
is
important as
well Paulsen and Dillon, co-founders of
the club, looked at other colleges in the
MAAC (because those are the teams
Marist plays) and worked on the club
in comparison.

When the Marist College cheerlead-
ers turned to the student section at the
football game this past Saturday and
cheered "Everybody do the Red Fox
Rumble! Everybody do the Red Fox
Rumble! Red Fox! Rumble!," the mem-
bers of the Student Booster Club were
instantly animated. Some just yelled
'
the cheer from their seats, but others,
like juniors Jon Porras and Brianna
Rosamilia got up and did the cheer
movements as well.
''I love the football games,"
Rosamilia
said. ''I not only go to support our team
but also to be one of the few people who
stands up in the bleachers and starts
doing the Red Fox rumble with the
cheerleaders."
This
is
what Marist College Student
Booster Club
is
all about. Booster treas-
urer Patrick Dillon said that the
Booster Club's purpose
is
to have fun
while supporting Marist Athletics.
'The club brings sports fans together
to have a fun, relaxed experience out-
side the classroom, different from the
social nightlife experience," Dillon said.
This year there seems to be many
sports fans at Marist.
At the first meeting alone, which took
place on Wednesday, Sept. 8, there
were around 700 students, according to

The Wellness Fair, held this past Fri-
day, Sept. 10, brought in a variety of
vendors and many interested students.
This past second Friday of every fall se-
mester was the event's thirteenth year.
About 61 different companies and or-
ganizations
·
gathered in the McCann
Center with the common
goal
of provid-
ing both students and faculty with the
information and resources they should
use to help lead a healthy lifestyle.
Roberta
Staples from student affairs or-
ganized
this year's
fair
and says that it
is
one of her favorite part;s of her job.
'There's a lot
of
good
energy and
peo-
ple enjoying connecting with each other.
I like
being
part
of something that
peo-
ple enjoy," she said.
The event covered a variety of different
topics regarding wellness. It featured
local fitness centers, traditional and al-
ternative medicine, law enforcement,
healthy food and massage therapy. The
Town of Poughkeepsie Police and Fire
Department were there to provide in-
formation about personal safety. Staples
did not expect these companies to be
part of the fair, ·but faculty members
ended up finding these stands helpful.
''Part of self-care and stress manage-
ment
is
financial
management," Staples
said.
The Wellness Fair tries to include
all
educate the students and faculty on liv-
ing well. They handed out informative
pamphlets and fact sheets to its visitors.
One
fun
fact
from a pamphlet from the
American Heart Association said that a
person gains
two
hours of life expectancy
for each hour of vigorous exercise.
''It's our hope that attendees will not
only learn something new, but perhaps
follow up with a service or agency that
they found helpful," Staples said.
The fair's visitors loved the free food
samples. There were plenty of healthy
food alternatives including frozen fruit
bars, coffee and smoothie samples, all-
natural tortilla chips, yogurt and low-fat
bagels. There were also three different
stands giving free massages. The fair
provided students with resources they
can use off-campus to help themselves
maintain a healthy lifestyle. The
In-
nerLight Health Spa, a new addition to
the fair, handed out coupons for free
yoga and zumba classes and discounted
acupuncture clinics, facials, and
pedi-
cures, providing students with the
chance to relax. The Casablanca Coffee
Co. also had a stand that provided
coupons for healthy breakfast options for
students and Planet Fitness attended
the event to promote their student
membership discount.
The stand that caught everyone's at-
tention was the one provided by the
the Booster president Andrew Paulsen.
Before the club became approved in
May 2009, 'We didn't have
this
turnout,
this
team
spirit," Football Captain Ter-
rence Turner, fifth-year senior, said
when he spoke at the meeting.
Both Dillon and Paulsen said that
there
is
a notable increase in the num-
ber of students that attend games now,
as opposed to the number that at-
tended during their freshman year.
Although the club
is
still
in its infancy,
Booster
has
already made an impact on
campus. The new swipe-in system for
club attendance, for example, came
from the Booster Club. Improving the
campus and sharing with other clubs
is
only one
goal
that the Booster executive
"[University of Central] Missouri, a
Big 12 [conference] school, emailed me
asking for advice on how to start their
own Booster club," Paulsen said.
Paulsen and Dillon take a lot of pride
in what they have done with the club,
but they keep reiterating that they can-
not do it alone.
"It's up to Marist students to make it
possible," they said.
''Pat and I
try
to be a two-man army,"
Paulsen said. But they need all the
help they can get. They encourage
everyone to get out there and do the

Witches roam the history department for interested students
By SHANNON DUNCAN
Circle Contributor
Among
the standard courses of-
fered at Marist each semester, there
stand a select number of special top-
ics courses open to students. These
classes are offered. on a variety of
subjects
and include unique themes
such as a class entitled The Cul-
tural Context of Harry Potter.
Proposed by individual instruc-
tors, each course must be approved
by
a majority vote of the depart-
ment. On occasion, the courses are
taught by adjuncts, but they are
generally
formed around full-time
faculty's interests.
Over the years, the history de-
partment has offered a variety of
special
topics courses. Some courses
have
covered
specific time periods
such as: the Civil War, the Holo-
caust or the French Revolution.
Others covered special themes in-
cluding the Drug Trade
in
Asia, Sex,
Death and Disease, the History of
Rock and Roll and Medieval Cul-
tures
in
Context.
This semester, Dr. Janine Peter-
son
is
teaching a course on Witch-
craft and Sorcery
in
Pre-Modern
Europe. The class covers "the cen-
tral issues that historians have
grappled with when considering the
preoccupation with witchcraft
in
the
fifteenth-eighteenth centuries,"
Pe-
terson said.

"One of the major benefits of these rians have identified and debated
courses
is
they allow
students to
re-
issues surrounding
the course
ally delve deeply into a subject that topic."
Scholarly monographs and pri-
mary sources are the main texts for
the class.
In
fact, Peterson has writ-
ten an article on one of the class
readings that
will be published next
summer.
While the courses are open to any
student, Peterson shared some
words of wisdom to consider when
signing up for a
special
topics
course.
"History
special topics courses are
extremely reading and writing
in-
tensive, so class size is limited," she
said.
''Majors
usually get a priority
since most special topics are 300-
level and they need a certain num-
ber of these for their requirements,
but anyone enthusiastic about the
subject and willing to do the. work
can sign up and are welcome. I've
had lots of motivated, thoughtful
and dedicated students from other
majors in my courses."
Overall, special topics courses
seem to be a rewarding and enjoy-
able experience for students. "In
exit interviews the department held
last spring, we asked our graduat-
ing seniors a number of questions,
including how they felt about the
special topics classes," Professor
Mark Morreale, the chair of the eng-
lish department said ''The response
was overwhelmingly positive. As a
matter of fact, many requested that
we offer more such classes in the
fu-
ture."

Hide away your hangovers
By
MICHAEL BERNARDINI
Circle Contributor
With syllabus week behind us,
it's time for that rough transi-
tion into fall. Work starts to pile
up, morning classes become a
drag, and one begins to question
their rationale in opting for so
many 8:00 a.m. classes. What
better way to relieve stress and
break away from

Cannavino
than a night out on the town
- Po-town,
that is. Regardless of
how fun (or well-deserved) a
night of excessive partying can
be, one pays for it
-
and pays for
it hard- the next day (especially
when one has class a mere four
hours after getting dropped off
by Phatz at Donnelly). Here are
some helpful tips to successfully
avoid revealing that dreaded
hangover in class and quickly re-
turn to slumber.
Kindly remove the stilettos
and miniskirt.
Nothing screams "I'm a hot
mess!" quite like rolling into
class with six inch hooker heels
or beer-soaked jeans. Throw on
some sweats and walk into

lege student.

Hanging on to that hangover?
Be
a class act and clean
up before
heading to
campus.
Keep quiet ... for now.
Professors always encourage
students to ask questions and
provide feedback. But your un-
friendly, lion-like groans and
moans
paired
with
your
Smirnoff-sweating pores will
give you away in no time.
Be more incognito than Bat-
man.
Your hair looks like a rat's
nest. Your skin looks a mess.
You smell like a cab driver.
Cover all traces of your night
out by showing up with a hood, a
hat or even sunglasses. The
more discreet and unnoticed you
are, the better.
Bring sustenance.
Even t~ough you feel like sip-
presented by
your stomach from performing a
gastronomic symphony for the class.
Be sure to come as prepared
as possible.
Don't mention any detail of
your night. Make sure all work
is finished. You can, and will,
make the best of it. You can
have the night of your life filled
with picture-snapping, shot-tak-
ing and booty-bumping, but you
cannot forget the reason you're
here: to get an education. Keep
the wild nights to a relative min-
imum and give these tips a try.
That hour and fifteen minutes
may seem like a decade, and
your professor's voice can sound
like a wild animal being mauled
to death, but you need to cover
your traces and continue on your
way to a full, sober recovery.

Dear Casey,
rve been in
a build-up
and
came
to school
with a case of
water and Gatorade. I began
to
notice
that some of
the bottles
were missing, and
then
noticed
one
of
my
roommates
drinking
a
Gatorade that I am sure was
mine. How do
.I
convey
to her
that just because we are room--
mates
doe not
mean we share
everything without
ruffling
too
many
feathers?

It is always sad to watch the lazy
days of summer come to a close, but
we all have to realize that fall can be
just as enjoyable. Sure, the transi-
tion means trading hot girls in biki-
nis on the beach for treacherous
work and classrooms, but with fall
also comes (drum roll, please) new
television. This fall, the major net-
works are not only bringing back
your favorites, but have a line-up of
hot new shows. Below are some
shows worth checking out.
"Nikita" (Action) Thursdays @ 9
pm on the
CW
(premiered 9/9)
''Nikita" is the story of a spy/assas-
sin played by Maggie
Q
(The show
also stars Shane West.) This tough
female agent has gone rogue and is
seeking revenge on her former em-
ployees. Little does she know the se-
cret government agency she left is
training
a new breed of killers.
''Nikita"
already has a reputation for
being full of action-packed enter-
tainment.
''Better With You" (Comedy)
Wednesdays@ 8:30 on ABC (premieres
9/22)
The series follows the lives of two in-
credibly different sisters
as
they deal
with their relationship, and are criti-
cized
by their parents along the way.
The
cast
is filled with many reoognizable
faces like Joanna Garcia from the CW's
recently cancelled ''Privileged," and who
could forget Debra Jo Rupp from 'That
7(is Show?"(she played
Kitty
Forman
in
case you forgot.) Sure it probably won't
be
an Emmy winner, but with
stars
like
these how could it not
be
funny?
"The Event'' (Thriller/Drama) Mon-
days@ 9
on
NBC (premieres 9/20)
Jason
Ritter leads
this large
familiar-
faced cast
in
this
''Flash
Forward'' style
drama. The storyline is about a man
who searches for
his
missing girlfriend
but soon
finds
himself caught
in
a
dan-
gerous situation and sticky government
conspiracy. For everyone out there who's
still having a ''Lost" hangover, this
seems to
be
another show sure
to
have a
cult following. If you're still
missing
''Lost" then check out the remake of
"Hawaii Five-0'
starring
Danielle Dae
Kim (Sept. 20,
c~.
"Law
&
Order: Los Angeles"
(Drama/ Mystery) Wednesdays@
10 on NBC (premie:rs 9/29)
For all of you out there who
thought "Law & Order" dis-
missed its last case, think again.
The franchise is back this sea-
son, this time in Los Angeles,
filled with more enticing legal
drama. How could it be bad?
"Running Wilde" (Comedy)
Tuesdays @ 9:30 on Fox (pre-
mieres 9/21)
Funnyman Will Arnett and
Kerri Russel star in this roman-
tic comedy show about a spoiled
Beverly Hills oil tycoon (Arnett).
Suddenly his old high school
flame, and environmental ac-
tivist (Russel), walks back into
his life, and he thinks he can be
a better person. The trailer
looks like it will be hilarious.
Previewing fall blockbusters worth checking out
By
CASEY GALASSO
Circle Contributor
The temperature may be begin-
ning to drop here in Poughkeepsie,
but that does not mean the quality
of this season's movies has to do the
same. In fact, the multiplex is the
place to be this fall, with films com-
ing out that satisfy even the harsh-
est of critics.
Animated
"Alpha and Omega" (9/17) Notable
Cast Members: Justin Long, Hay-
den Panettiere, Christina Ricci,
Danny Glover, Dennis Hopper,
Larry Miller.
Synopsis: Get ready for the road
trip of a lifetime with Kate and
Humphrey, (Panettiere and Long)
two wolves desperate to return
home after being abducted by park
rangers and hauled completely
across the country.
A
comedic twist
on the classic Cinderella story,
Humphrey is considered an Omega
who is used to cracking jokes and
hanging out with his other animal
pals. Kate, on the other hand, is a
type-A Alpha, dedicated to duty and
discipline. Will these two personal-
ities be able to put their issues aside
to not only make it back home, but
to restore the peace between two
rival wolf packs?"
Why it's worth checking out:
A
little bit "Finding Nemo/' a little bit
"When Harry Met Sally,"
"Alpha
and Omega" seems like the perfect
escape from the pressures of home-
work, internships, and projects.
There's nothing like 88 minutes of
animated comedy to help alleviate
the stress that college life brings. In
addition, the film's beautifully con-
structed scenery should be inspira-
tion enough to get out of your room,
smell the fresh air, and appreciate
the wildlife surrounding campus.
Drama
.
''Wall Street: Money Never
Sleeps" (10/1) Notable Cast Mem-
bers: Shia La~eouf, Michael Dou-
glas,
Frank
Langella,
Carey
Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, Josh
Brolin.
Synopsis: Returning to the action
after a long prison sentence, Gordon
Gekko (Douglas) discovers he is now
an outsider looking in on the busi-
ness world he once had ultimate
control over.

Kanye West "Runaway" -
Kanye West performed his most
sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek song of
his career at the MTVVMAs. ''Run-
away," a song that boasts a chorus
that goes a little something like
''Let's have a toast for the
douchebags / Let's have a toast for
the assholes
I
Let's have a toast for
the scumbags" may appear to be an-
other act in Kanye West's childish
tirade, when in reality it's more of a
mockery of his past behaviors. The
tone of the chorus is more mature
than the lyrics let on, acknowledg-
ing his flaws and laughing at his
own faults are a universally relat-
able theme that even big superstars
like Kanye West deal with. We all
have growing pains. Maybe a few
years down the road Taylor Swift
will
laugh at her 20-year-old self for
performing that overly melodra-
matic song that may or may not be
about Kanye West. Less than 24
hours after the performance a stu-
dio version of ''Runaway'' surfaced
online.
Unfortunately, the studio version
falls short of matching the superior-
ity of the VMA performance. The
'1ook at you" sample is absent in the
studio rendition. It's a shame be-
cause it perfectly suited the song.
The sample took on the role of this
older, wiser figure that was disci-
plining Kanye West for his past be-
havior and it took on a much more
personal level. Even the sample
West reused from Rick Ross' ''Live
Fast and Die Young" (" And I wanna
show you how you all look like beau-
tiful stars tonight") worked well
within the song's context.
The distorted Auto-Tuned sung
bridge, al.so absent in the studio
rendition, clashing with the strings
was the ingredient that made "Run-
away" a culmination of Kanye
West's musical repertoire. The song
echoes his upbeat, old-school soul
sampling days of "The College
Dropout" and "Late Registration"
while meshing his electro elements
of "Graduation" and "808s & Heart-
break." All these components are
present in their best form in "Run-
away," and distinguish West as an
artist constantly reworking his
ideas and tryihg to perfect them to
create the grand masterpiece. ''Run-
away'' is damn close to Kanye
West's masterpiece. The whole
sound is undeniably old-school hip-
hop (RZA of the Wu Tang Clan was
a producer on the track) yet fresh
and modern.
Kanye West has been known to
leak rough versions of his songs,
and the vocal tracks do sound un-
polished, so it's possible we'll hear a
revised version of
''Runaway''
when
November rolls around. Hopefully
we get a better
studio
representa-
tion of West's pop art.

Fall movie preview cites the 'must-sees' of the season
Trying to repair a damaged rela-
tionship with his daughter (Mulli-
gan), Gekko begins to bond with her
fiance, Jacob (LaBeout). Their
friendship soon breeds something
much darker. With Gekko teaching
Jacob the ins and outs of criminal
investments, the audience quickly
learns
that Gekko is a master ma-
nipulator who will stop at nothing
in order to reach his goals.
Why
it's worth checking
out:
After experiencing the worst eco-
nomic downturn since the Great De-
pression,
what's
better
than
checking out some of the corruption
that goes on behind the scenes on
Wall Street? The romance between
real-life couple LaBeouf and Mulli-'
gan should add to the entertain-
ment factor of this flJ.ck.
"The Social Network" (10/1) No-
table Cast Members: Jesse Eisen-
berg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew
Garfield, Rashida Jones.
Synopsis: A movie destined to be
a cult phenomenon, ''The Social Net-
work," tells the story of how the gen-
eration-defining Facebook came into
existence. It all started in 2003,
when Harvard undergrad Mark
Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) began to lay
the groundwork of the social net-
working site that would later alter
the way humans communicate.
Within six years, Zuckerberg be-
came the youngest billionaire in his-
tory, but that is just the beginning.
Zuckerberg's social experiment
began to turn into a monster, as he
battled legal disputes. What's one to
do
when your
500 million
online
friends are dying to watch you fail?
Why it's worth checking out:
With Facebook originally designed
with young adults in mind, ''The So-
cial Network" is a must see for the
college student whose lives, emo-
tions and relationships are essen-
tially controlled by this networking
site. This film also acts as a great
muse for youth with a dream -
Zuckerberg shows us that following
your heart can reap plenty of re-
wards.
Comedy
''You Again'' (9/24) PG-13: No-
table Cast Members: Kristin Bell,
Jamie-Lee Curtis, Betty White.
Synopsis: Public relations expert
Marni (Bell) heads home for her
brothers wedding only to find out
that his blushing bride-to-be is her
dreaded high school enemy, who has
conveniently forgotten about their
awkward past.
Why
it's
worth
checking
out:
Comedies are the perfect escape
from college life. College kids de-
serve to sit back and enjoy some
predictable humor and the usual
happy ending to restore our faith in
humanity.
If
all else fails, count on
Betty White to secure some laughs.
Horror
"Case 39" (10/1) Notable Cast
Members: Renee Zellweger, Bradley
Cooper.
Synopsis: Social worker Emily
Jenkins (Zellweger) is driven to re-
move young Lillith from her home
after witnessing how cruelly her
parents treat her. While
looking
for
a foster family for
Lillith,
Emily dis-
covers the troubles that surround
this na'ive girl. The more Emily
tries to help, the more horrors she
encounters.
Why it's
worth
checking
out:
Premiering at the beginning of the
"scariest
month of the year," it's cus-
tomary to see a horror flick before
Oct. 31. Bradley Cooper ("The
Hangover") steps out of the comedy
zone and has the possibility of turn-
ing being more frightening than
"Case 39" itself.
Fantasy
"Harry
Potter and the Deathly
Hallows: Part P' (11/19)

Daniel

cliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson,

Cross Country
makes Bowdoin Park home
By
MIKE WALSH
Staff Writer
For cross country runners, there
are few
simple
joys in life. To many
people, these joys are unusual. But
just ask one of the members Marist
Cross Country teams and they will
passionately explain things like
"runner's
high." They will fervently
describe the feeling that manifests
deep in their chests as they kick
down the final straightaway toward
the finish line of a race while fans
line the course cheering and push-
ing them to run harder.
Since they don't the cross country
teams do not tompete on campus,
the student body may not realize
where these two teams race. We see
them jogging around campus and
up and down Rt. 9, but don't under-
stand why they are putting in all
that effort. For this reason, I en-
listed the help of sophomore runner
Joel Moss to show me around Bow-
doin Park; Marist's de facto home
course.
Just a short 10 minute drive south
on Rt. 9 and a right hand turn leads
to a beautiful open park. The park
consists of baseball and soccer
fields, playgrounds, gazebos and
cookout spaces.
This is where
Marist Cross Country met with
MAAC opponents St. Peter's, Fair-
field and Siena the first weekend in
September.
Bowdoin Park, like the entire
Hudson River Valley, is as scenic as
parks come. The aesthetic views
add to the simple joy of jogging on a
beautiful day through some scenic
trails and fields. However, Bowdoin
(which measures out to ~n even 5K)
is not all dainty views and down-
hills, as Moss warned me while we
started our jog. "Hill top hill is a
killer on your legs later in the race,"
said Joel.
Bowdoin fills runners with confi-
dence at the start as they sprint
across a soccer field and onto a
gravely dirt path as the course nar-
rows out from a wide starting line.
The first few minor hills give you lit-
tle trouble and are visible to view-
ers as they cheer on the athletes.
We crossed a street and slipped be-
hind a shed, and when I spoke into
my tape recorder for the first time, I
was barely out of breath. However,
Hill Top, "the hardest and most tir-
ing part of the race," was staring us
in the face, as Moss put it.
This is where the Marist runners
begin to pass and separate them-
selves from the competition. Typi-
cally, Joel takes it conservatively
after a quick burst at the beginning.
He starts quickly to avoid being
trapped in a pack until h-e reaches
Hill Top, which is just over a mile
in.
Hill Top doesn't look like much
from the base. Only once you begin
the ascent do you realize that it
winds and wraps around corners to
reveal a more inclining trail. You
must try to keep your focus and eyes
up, while also avoiding rocks and
roots emerging from the dirt path.
At my second brief recorder stop,
my breathing was noticeably la-
bored as I looked forward to a nice
breezy downhill to the finish. "As
soon as you get up this hill, the
course eases up and i~ mainly
down-
hill," said
Joel.
However, the race course was far
from complete. We then headed
down a steep decline back to the
main Bowden road. We crossed and
began a similar path to the way the
course started. After retracing of
our steps briefly, we passed a metal
fence which marks 1000 meters to
go.
From this point, the course fea-
tures more running alongside a field
before heading back into a wooded
path for a couple hundred meters.
At last, you begin your final kick,
hoping to outlast the runners be-

hind you and use those in front of
you as motivation. The finish is a
few feet short of third base on the
baseball diamond, the final sprint is
through left field, where fans and
coaches will line up and push you
the final hundred meters.
With the help of coaches Pete Co-
laizzo of the men's team and Chuck
Williams for the women, this course
has been mastered by Marist run-
ners. Both teams won their respec-
tive invitational at park on Sept. 4
to open the 2010 season.
For the men, juniors Adam Vess
and Matt Flint placed first and sec-
ond, breaking Girma Segni's course
record and recording the first ever
sub 16:00 minute race at Bowdoin.
Both racers crossed at 15:59. Soph-
omore Arquimedes DelaCruz (3rd,
16:28), and a pair of freshmen, Ken
Walshak ( 4th, 16:39) and Nick
Hughes (6th, 16:41) rounded out the
scoring for Marist, giving the Red
Foxes 16 points to Fairfield's 48.
Joel Moss added insurance for
Marist, placing 20th in 17:11. The
Men's performance pushed their
USTFCCCA ranking to number 11
in the Northeast, up three spots
from their preseason ranking.
Racing earlier that day, the
women also won the meet in im-
pressive fashion, with their five
placing runners finishing in the top
six overall. Kiersten Anderson, a
freshman from Scotia, NY wasted
no time in shattering the course
record in her Marist debut perform-
ance, finishing first overall with a
time of 19:13. Sophomore Katie
Messina finished second in 20:27,
junior Briana Crowe placed third in
20:58, and sophomore Erin O'Reilly
crossed 6th overall in 21:01. Senior
captain Julie Hudak and classmate
Jillian Courtley were honored in a
Senior Day Ceremony, placed fourth
in 20:58. The Red Foxes handily de-
feated Fairfield.
Both teams head to Van Cortlandt
Park in the Bronx this weekend for
Saturday's Iona Meet of Champi-
ons.
Red Foxes meet Cavaliers, reigning NCAA champions
By
SCOTT ATKINS
Sports Editor
The Marist men's soccer team
handed unbeaten Adelphi their first
loss of the season this past week, be-
fore dropping a hard fought battle
with defending national champion
Virginia.
The Foxes traveled to Garden
City, N.Y. on Thursday night for a
match against Adelphi. The Pan-
thers entered the match with a 2-0
record and were recently recognized
by the National Soccer Coaches
As-
sociation of America for receiving 16
votes in the NSCAA poll. Marist
was coming off a twQ-game losing
streak and head coach Matt Vig-
giano was focused on getting his
squad out of their slump.
"I wanted to see them play with
conviction," he said. "They needed to
have passion and to have a love for
the game. I wanted them to remem-
her why we play this game."
The Foxes responded to Viggiano' s
words and scored early to take a one
goal lead. Sophomore standout
Stephan Brossard hit the back of
the net in the eighth minute for the
forward's second goal of the season
and the first allowed by Adelphi this
ggest
win I've had since I've been
here."

Head coach Matt
Viggiano
year. Brossard's goal proven to be
enough to win as Marist's defense
stifled the Panthers and senior goal-
keeper Joe Pilla stopped four shots
in a 1-0 victory.
"I felt that it was the biggest
win
I've had since I've been here," Vig-
giano said.
"In
the last three years
we haven't really beaten a great
team. Last year, the final game
against Siena was the first time we
beat a team with a winning record.
Adelphi hasn't lost at home since
September of 2007, so this
win
just
shows the character of our guys."
Viggiano partly attributes the
shutout to the health of the defense,
which had seen some injuries as of
late.
"It was the first time that we had
the back four that we had envi-
sioned in the preseason," he said.
"To
win
1-0 on the road and to hold
on
to
that lead all game long shows
a lot about that defense's guts."
The win put Marist on the North
Atlantic Regional Poll, coming in at
number six, two spots ahead of
Adelphi.
Up next for the Foxes was the Uni-
versity of Virginia Cavaliers, who
entered the match ranked No. 2 in
the nation, coming
off
of a 2-2 draw
against No. 7 Duke. Viggiano made
sure his players enjoyed what he
knew was a special opportunity for
them to partake
in
such a high level
of competition.
"I told them to just enjoy the ex-
perience," he said. "There's a lot of
history here in Virginia. Guys here
have played on the national team,
in World Cups and we have nothing
to lose. They met the president the
other day, and they're going to be
looking right past us. I told them to
go. out there and let them know
we're no one to look past."
The Foxes came out fighting
against on Tuesday night, and de-
spite owning a four to three lead in
shots on goal, entered halftime
down 2-0. That score would hold up
through the final whistle, but the
visitors undoubtedly left feeling con-
fident as they matched the defend-
ing champs in shots on goal with six
and kept the Cavaliers scoreless in
the second half.

Fox recalls season shared with NFL superstar
By PHILIP TERRIGNO
Managing Editor
As
Kees (CASE) Coughlin watched
the first Monday Night Football
game of the 2010 NFL season, he
couldn't help but feel special.
Millions tuned in to ESPN
to
see
the Baltimore Ravens and the New
York Jets battle, but Coughlin knew
that he possessed a stronger con-
nection to arguably the biggest play-
maker on the field than anyone else.
More intimate than being a fan,
far more important than owning
him on a fantasy football roster and
much more special than wearing his
jersey,
Coughlin can call Balti-
more's Ray Rice his teammate and
friend.
''I'm one of the very few who [peo-
ple] who can say that they have a
friend [playing] on Monday Night
Football,"
Coughlin
explained.
'Words can't really describe it."
Coughlin's connection with the
standout halfback began during
their playing days
_
as children in the
same youth tackle football league
but was cemented during one spe-
cial football season at New Rochelle
High School.
The year was 2004 and domina-
tion was the theme.
Coughlin, then a sophomore in
high school, transferred to New
Rochelle after playing his freshmen
season at Mamaroneck, another
high school in Westchester County,
N.Y.
He joined a New Rochelle
Huguenots football squad that had
won the New York State title the
season before and appeared primed
to do the same.
The roster brimmed with Division
1 talent, including players that
would head to Rutgers, Stanford,
Central Connecticut State, SUNY
Maritime and Youngstown State.
Christian Brothers Academy
(CBA) from Syracuse,
N.Y.,
a school
then ranked 13 nationally by
http://USAToday.com, was the only
team that tainted the Huguenots
record as New Rochelle finished
with an 11-1 mark on the year.
Equally as talented as New
Rochelle, CBA's roster included
Greg Paulus, who would go on to
play point guard at Duke and one
year of quarterback at Syracuse
University.
Their only loss came in the state
title game, a 41-35 shootout in
which Paulus threw for 376 yards
and Rice broke his collarbone late in
the second half.
Coughlin started at linebacker in
the contest, an honor for any sopho-
more.
"Being able to play in the Carrier
dome was amazing but [Rice] get-
ting hurt was the deciding factor,"
Coughlin said.
"If
[Rice] was in the
second half, we probably would
have won and I would have a state
championship ring, but it didn't
work out that way. It's a memory
that I'm never going to forget."
Coughlin played two more seasons
at New Rochelle after Rice gradu-
ated in 2005, but his career path
went in a slightly different direction
than some of his teammates, who
went to compete at larger schools.
After being lightly recruited by
Syracuse, Maryland and Rutgers,
Marist contacted Coughlin late in
the signing period.
''The three big schools kind of
dragged me along.
I
realized that
I
wasn't going to be getting any big
school scholarships," Coughlin said.
"Marist came to me late
in
the
process, and I liked it. It was a per-
fect fit."
Coughlin's on-field production has
steadily risen during his first three
seasons as his role in the defense
has increased. He finished with 66
tackles, two sacks and one fumble
recovery last season. He started off
this campaign with a crucial inter-
ception in Marist's recent victory
over Bucknell.

Nick Andre and Kevin Foley,
two
dom-
inant linebackers that combined for 179 tackles last season.
DAN NOVEMBER/THE CIRCLE
After tallying 66 tackles and two sacks last season, Kees Coughlin (above)
is
using his
excellent football
pedigree
to
have a bigger impact this campaign.
''The first two years, we didn't get
a lot out of him, then last year, he
has a really solid year," defensive
coordinator Scott Rumsey said. "He
wasn't in the preseason a lot be-
cause of an injury, so he had a little
catching up
to
do. In the second
game, it was tailored to what he
does best."
Sophomores Tyler Ramsey and
Isaac Sine have composed the
Marist starting linebacker core
along with Coughlin, the lone sen-
ior.
"Kees, as the only senior, leads by
example, not really with words,"
Sine said. ''What he does on the
field, we take it to heart. "
A nagging pectoral injury was the
ailment that affected Coughlin in
the preseason and caused him to
miss early practices.
"[Kees] was out and he was hurt,
but he still came to practice," Ram-
sey said. "He watched everything
and made us better when he was
hurt."
Marist sorely needs a defensive
leader to emerge after the departure
of Nick Andre and Kevin Foley;
20·10 graduates that combined for
1 79 tackles during the 2009 season.
"Being the only senior, the [un-
derclassmen] definitely look up to
me to try and guide them along,"
Coughlin said. 'With the young
guys, I'm trying to do the best that I
·can
to help them."
·
A strong football pedigree after a
career at New Rochelle High School
and three seasons under Jim
Parady's system certainly nominate
Coughlin to be one of the team's de-
fensive leaders, something the Red
Foxes value in this season's attempt
to improve on 2009's 7-4 overall
record.
"I don't know which [defense] is
going to show up on a given night.
Maybe the Sacred Heart [loss] was
just first week jitters," Coughlin
said. "I feel like we are a great de-
fen$e and we can be just as good as
we were last year. I'm looking for-
ward to what this year holds.
There's a good chance we can go out
there and beat everyone."
Coughlin grew up football-wise
amongst stars, as a sophomore
starting on a high school defense
that featured an NFL star. Now,
Marist sophomores and underclass-
men are growing up football-wise
next to a senior who is ready to lead
them into a PFL season to remem-
ber.
