Kicking ''Cans Across America'' for hunger month
By
BRENNA MCKINLEY
Circle Contributor
The "Cans Across America" cam-
paign for Marist College dining
services will kick off on Oct. 18.
Food provider, Sodexo, sponsors
an annual food drive that it calls
"Cans Across America."
Between
600 and 700 college campuses
across the country take part in
this event, which lasts from mid-
October to mid-November each
year.
"We take this very seriously,"
said Mohamad
Charafeddine,
Sodexo general manager at Marist
College. Marist contributes to the
"Cans Across America" campaign
by teaming up with Campus Min-
istry, an on-campus organiz .... wion.
During
Hunger
Awareness
Month, Campus Ministry dedi-
cates itself to bringing attention
to world hunger b on a food drive.
The "Cans Across America" cam-
paign is an original idea of Sodexo
food services and ha-s proven to be
a very successful drive in many
areas, said Charafeddine.
In
this
campaign, all of the various
Sodexo branches at colleges and
universities across the country
compete agai~st one another to
raise the largest amount of non-
perisha-:..:
_
food to be delivered to
a local community organization in
need.
The goals Sodexo sets for itself
each year have grown signifi-
cantly-from 112,869 pounds in
2006 to 327,410 pounds in 2008
according to Marist dining serv-
ices records. Last year, Sodexo as
a nationwide corporation set out
to break the Guinness World
Record for the amount of food do-
nated by a non-charitable
organi-
zation. With 396,833 pounds of
non-perishable food gathered and
distributed to needy communities,
it succeeded.

CAMPUS MINISTRY/THE CIRCLE
The "Cans Across America" cam-
paign begins at Sodexo corporate
headquarters in Gaithersburg,
Md. Officials here take the lead on
the campaign, giving initiative to
Sodexo retailers in individual
communities and advertising the
campaign nationwide. According
to Charaf eddine, Sodexo spends a
great deal of time and effort in ad-
vance
to
promote this campaign.
Marist College dining services
has received compliments from
Sodexo's Albany district for its
contributions to the campaign.
Last year, for example, it ranked
in the top 10 in the
district.
"We love to do that and we do
that
[campaign]
every year fait!- -
fully," said Charafeddine.
He estimates that in 2008,
Marist contributed 838 pounds of
non-perishable food to the nation-
wide campaign, a "good start," he
called it.
Marist students are encouraged
to donate non-perishable food
items to tables set up throughout
campus manned by Campus Min-
istry members. Sodexo matches
pound for pound the amount of
food Campus Ministry collects,
and- all of the food is transported
together to a local Poughkeepsie
organization in need. Sodexo pro-
vides transportation for the food,
which was delivered locally last
year to Dutchess Outreach, Inc.,
an organization whose aim it is to
provide temporary, basic needs for
those less fortunate m
the
Dutchess County area.
According to Victoria Banks,
Mar-
keting Coordinator for Sodexo's
Marist branch, plans are in order to
coordinate with Campus Ministry
once again, as well as to attribute
paper hands to those who contribute
donations, and
to advertise the food
drive to students at the entry points
of the Mari~t dining hall.
SGA
to hold. civility campaign on bullying prevention
By
MARIA
MELFE
Circle Contributor
The Marist College Student Gov-
ernment Association (SGA) is plan-
ning
to
introduce
a
civility
campaign, later in the semester,
which targets bullying.
·
"We'll be focusing the campaign as
a way of showing
others
that Marist
is a family that loves and supports
its own, no matter how different we
are," Matthew Lubrano, student
body president said. ''We are looking
to plan an event one night to pro-
mote the idea of kindness and
.
re-
spect for all."
In
preparation for the upcoming
civility campaign, students can find
more information on bullying pre-
vention at http://www.pacer.org, the
home of the National Center for
Bullying Prevention. The website
has a collection of information about
bullying including how to spot it
and how to prevent it from spread-
ing. Students can sign the anti-bul-
lying petition to join the fight
against
bullying,
and can send in in-
dividual ideas about bullying pre-
vention
to
the
organization,
expressed through song, poetry,
video or artwork.
For education majors who may
want to investigate strategies on
how to instill awareness in future
classrooms, http://www.pacer.org's
partner websites, http://www.pac-
erKidsAgainstBullying.org
and
http://www.PacerTeensAgainstBul -
lying.org, are helpful. These web-
sites strive to encourage children,
t, ~ns and young adults to be active
in their communities to put an end
to bullying,
one
person at a time.

Security Briefs
Tire-slashing bandit roams campus
By CHRIS RAIA
Staff Writer
In the security briefs article,
the people are represented by
two separate yet equally impor-
tant groups: the students who
get involved in stupid, drunken
escapades, and the security
guards who make sure every-
one wakes up safely in the
morning. These are their sto-
ries. Dum Dum. Executive Pro-
ducer, Dick Wolf.

different vehicles. Security never
found the culprit. I wish there was
some sort of advice I could pass on
that would help you prevent this

from happening to you. But unless
you have invisible forcefields to put
around your tires, I guess we just
have to leave it up to chance. I'm
sorry to everyone who had to buy
new tires last week; let's hope we
don't have any more of that.

S.E.E.D. plans
trip to raise environmental awareness
By
MEGAN RUTKOWSKI
Circle Contributor
On Wednesday Oct. 27 the Stu-
dents Encouraging Environmental
Dedication, or S.E.E.D., along with
their
program
advisor
Chris
BoW$er, will be leading a trip to the
Norrie Point Environmental Center.
The goal of this trip is for students
to get hands-on experience seining
the river to learn about fish native
to the Hudson River.
According to New York State's De-
partment of Environmental Conser-
vation, "Norrie Point is a platform
for hands-on, field-based school and
public education programs, re-
search, and training." Just a
twenty-minute drive north of
Marist College, this environmental
center is located within the Mills-
Norrie State Park in Staatsburgh,
Dutchess County.
Locally, Norrie Point serves as the
headquarters for the Hudson River
Research Reserve. The Environ-
mental Center is situated directly
on the Hudson River making it an
attractive place for both educational
and professional parties. Along with
a research lab and weather station,
the center also provides the public
with classroom space and a multi-
.
tude of exhibits. Highlights of the
center include numerous displays
on the Hudson River Estuary, free
public programs and assortments of
fish native to the Hudson River.
One of the free programs which
this center provides on a regular
basis is public seining. Seine fishing
is a process that uses large
weighted fishing nets called seines
to collect a variety of fish in one big
sweep.
Ron Gelardi from the New York
State Department of Environmental
Conservation explains how the net
works: "The idea is that the net
makes sort of a scoop and it's
·
got a
lead line that runs along the bottom
and as the fish see it approach, they
swim up and get trapped in this
scoop shape."
Students who decide to join
S.E.E.D. on this trip will
_
be re-
quired
_
to wear chest-high waders
and drag a large fishing net across a
portion of the Hudson River. All
equipment will
be provided by Nor-
rie Point.
According to their website,
"S.E.E.D. exists
to
educate students
and the Marist Community about
global and local environmental con-
cerns." Not only do they work with
local, national, and global organiza-
tions to make a difference, but their
website also states that they en-
courage students to voice their own
environmental concerns and take
action.
So far this semester the club has
helped recycle cardboard on fresh-
men move-in day, organized an
apple-picking trip and sponsored an
on-campus sustainability lecture. In
upcoming events there is trip
to
the
Bronx
Zoo
on Oct.
23,
followed by a
showing of the film Food Inc. on
Nov
.
.
16.
If
any student is interested in join-
ing S.E
.
E.D. on this trip or simply
wants more information about the
on-campus organization, they cane-
mail the club at www.Marist-
SEED@gmail.com.
Illegal file sharing habits bring consequences for students
By
CAITLIN NOLAN
Managing Editor
Thanks
to
the marvels of technol-
ogy, file sharing has become a com-
mon
occurrence
that
almost
everyone is guilty of. With the click
of a button, the newest songs and
movies can be yours, but at what
cost? On Marist College campus stu-
dents who commit such an act can
find themselves in serious trouble.
"File sharing by itself is not in-
herently a problem-you do it all the
time," said
A
Harry Williams,
Marist College director of technol-
ogy and systems. "It's not that
there's been a download, but that
you are making [files] available to
others. The problem comes in when
some things that have been created
that have placed upon then a copy-
right [are downloaded and shared]."
While file sharing has always been
an issue, guidelines were not specif-
ically set until the passage of the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act of
1998. This act criminalizes the pro-
duction and distribution of copy-
righted
works
.
'We register with the copyright of-
fice," Williams said.
"If
a copyright
holder or their representatives find
copyrighted material that we are of-
fering for distribution that we do
not have permits for, they will issue
a takedown notice.
If
the school does
not take action, Marist becomes li-
able."
Williams said the number of no-
tices he receives on a regular basis
varies, but Marist did not receive
any notices from May 20 to Aug. 15
of this year.
"Tvoicallv the number one
claimant by the IRAA [Interna-
tional Registry of Artists and Art-
work] is music," Williams said.
"When they arrive, they arrive in
bunches."
Once a notice is received, Marist
will suspend a student's access from
the network until they come to
Resnet to have the copyrighted ma-
terial removed from their computer.
'We understand students aren't
always aware and not all education
occurs in the classroom," Williams
said. "The first time it happens, we
clean up the computer, try to ex-
plain what happened and make
sure they don't do it again. The sec-
ond time, we're not as forgiving."
After the second offense, a student
is
·
removed from the Marist network
and placed on network probation for
one week. The one week probation
does not start until after the com-
puter is cleaned.
If
a student is found file sharing
a third
.
time, the student will be re-
moved from the Marist network and
placed on network probation. After
the computer is cleaned the student
will be referred to the Office of Stu-
dent Conduct for resolution.
Director of the Office of Student
Conduct Christine Nadeau-Pupek
said students are not often guilty of
committing the same offense more
than once, but are usually unaware
they were file sharing in the first
place.
"Students get it," Nadeau-Pupek
said. "It's that they do something
different every time. The first time
they file share [could
be] through
music. Second time could be down-
loading a movie. Every time, it's dif-
ferent. I had a student in here a
couple weeks ago. He was the first
of this semester. He let his friend
hang out in his room when in class,
and his friend downloaded a movie
off a site and it showed up on his
computer.
"This is where it gets risky. When
you sign in to the library or any-
where else, it gives the person be-
hind you free range. You may not
have left anything personal up, but
if they go
to
a privileged site under
your name, it goes back
to
you.
That's why I think it's great to edu-
cate people, because people don't re-
alize."
Educational programs are avail-
able for anyone unsure of how you
commit the offense. For any stu-
dents that need help getting started
in the beginning of the school year,
Resnet is available in the library
and is very lenient if they find ques-
tionable programs.
"We start during orientation by
informing parents and students of
the procedure," said Kathleen
Labarbera, manager of Operations
and Resnet. "If we find file sharing
programs, we explain what will
happen. It really does work. The
problem is that any file sharing
program is legal. It's the act of
sharing copyrighted material."
While there has never been an
instance where a student has been
found file-sharing for a fourth
time, Nadeau-Pupek has a com-
pelling reason to keep it that way.
"There has never been a fourth
time because I explain that if it
happens again, you will lose all
campus access," Nadeau-Pupek
said.
"If
you don't have network ac-
cess, you may as well just transfer.
Fol low us on Twitter!
@maristcircle
You can't register for classes, get a
parking permit, check your e-mail,
check your financial aid, or e-mail
a professor to say you're going to
miss class. We are becoming more
of a paperless campus, and you
can't do [any of this] from home.
So, you're just like a sitting duck."
There are legal methods of file
sharing. !Tunes' "Ping" makes
music from nearby iTunes ac-
counts available to be listened to,
but not download, and once the
nearby account is closed, so is ac-
cess to those songs. While such a
method does not grant ownership
to the music files, it does come
.
with the security in knowing that
that no malicious programs will be
downloaded.
''Yes, point blank, we can tell you
you're sharing music," Williams
said. "But what else are you. shar-
ing that you don't know about?"
Labarbera said: 'We go in and
get a song. We go to a list and pick
and have no idea what is going on
behind the scenes. People with the
tiniest arm of know ledge can go in
and get so much from you than you
realize."
If
there are programs or files that
students wish to have removed
from their computers, the IT De-
partment will do so with no
penalty.
"If
someone has questions or con-
cerns, they should feel free to con-
tact Resnet," Williams said.
"If
someone wants us to take [pro-
grams] off, we will. It won't be used
against them and that won't count
as their one freebie."

'Mean Girls' mantra spawns skimpy costumes
By
JENNA GRANDE
Circle Contributor
"In
girl world,
Halloween is the
one night a year when a girl can
dress like a total slut and no other
girls can say anything about it."
Ah, the wise words of
''Mean
Girls." Though the movie is six
years old, the iconic phrases, char-
acters and lines have become a sta-
ple in American pop culture.
Though many of the scenes are all
in good fun, they do raise interest-
ing questions to ponder. For exam-
ple,
with
Halloween
rapidly
approaching, does
.
Cady's observa-
tion hold true?
Approaching my freshman year in
college, those who had been to col-
lege already always warned me
about what Halloween in college
would entail: a weekend-long cele-
bration requiring not one, but at
least three costumes, in order to go
out and have a good time. Taking
this advice
to
heart, I began brain-
st.orming the moment I saw Halloween
costumes
iri
the Poughkeepsie Galleria
Mall.
Each day it was something new: I
could be Katy Perry on Monday, and
by Thursday I would impersonate a
Greek goddess, only afte

r declaring
I was going to be an 80s aerobics'
teacher the previous
day.
I want
to
be something that flatters me and
reflects my energy and persona.
Of course, the costumes available
at the local Halloween supplies
store do not give me much to work
with. Why? Because I am a little
modest and self-conscious.
I hadn't paid much attention
to
it
before, but
I've
come to the conclu-
sion that girls' costumes have be-
come a little more risque. In high
school, there were always multiples
of each costume; six sailors, 10 Dal-
las Cowboy cheerleaders and eight
military officials. Each one had a
costume that exposed more than the
previous one. I did some Facebook
creeping on girls I used to go to high
school with, who were vain enough
to constantly take pictures of them-
selves in class with their friends
and post them on Facebook. I am
surprised they got away with so
much in a high school setting. In
high school, there were limits
placed on our freedoms of speech,
the press and to assembly. Appar-
ently, freedom of expression re-
mained and allowed these girls to
dress like it was a club and not a
pigh school.
I feel like a prude reacting in a
manner that my grandma would ap-
prove of. I don't mean to judge, but
back then it was a little puzzling to
me that no one said anything to the
girls who were wearing shorts ex-
posing their posteriors.
This time, it's different. rm in col-

Abroad student shares insights on culture and bulls
KATIE MEENA,ITHE CIRCLE
Study abroad offers education, as well as various cultural tradition experiences.
By
KATIE MEENA
Circle Contributor
Culture shock. Supposedly
everyone experiences some degree
of it. According to my Academic
Program International handbook,
culture shock is defined as "the
set of emotions that accompany
you as you completely change
your lifestyle, surroundings, food,
friends, etc." It is also the process
of sbedding the false illusions you
take with you to the host country.
From studying abroad in
Seville, Spain, for about one
month now, I honestly can say
that I have experienced only a
small degree of culture shock.
The little things needed to be ad-
justed to, like learning my way
around a new city, the size of my
room, food and meal times (lunch
is at
2
p.m. and dinner is not until
9
p.m.). There were times I got
lost trying
tb
find
tire m.1111
or
my
way home (in the rain while wear-
ing a white shirt with no um-
brella).
There were also times
when I yelled at my computer for
the Internet being so slow - one
night it took me four hours to
watch one single episode of
"Glee."
Yet, none of these compare to
the first time I was hit ~ith ac-
tual cultural shock, when I went
to a bullfight. I went into the
bullfight being so excited to see
what occurred behind the Plaza
de Toros walls.
I have been
studying Spanish for a few years,
so I knew the basics: matador, red
fabric
,
running bull. The event
started with music. It was intense
and ~trong; I loved it. As the
music played, all the matadors
entered the ring followed by the
bull. Little did I know that the
bull had already been starved and
beaten before entering the ring.
Once it enters the ring, a mata-
dor on a blinded horse stabs the
bull to further weaken it. Then
the matador continues to wear
the bull out by having it run all
over the place. As this occurs,
other matadors stab the bull
while it chases the red fabric.
After this goes on for a few min-
utes, the matador finally stabs
the bull, instantly killing it.
If
the bull is not killed instantly, the
crowd becomes upset and may
start to throw beer at the failed
bull "fight to the death" - either
the matador dies or the bull dies.
Once killed, the bull is dragged
away by the horses and the whole
process starts again. This takes
place for a total of six bulls. To be
completely honest
,
at times it was
hard to watch.
It
was somewhat
sad and difficult to hear the bull
yelping as the matador attacked
it
.
After sitting through two bulls
being killed, I did not need to see
anything more, so I got up and
left.
Another major difference I have
noticed while here is PDA - Pub-
lic Displays of Affection.
In
the
United States, PDA is somewhat
conservative - there are certain
things not meant for others
to
see,
but Spaniards have no shame. As
I walk across the river to the
beautiful Universidad de Sevilla
for class every day, it no longer
surprises me to see a couple, gay
or straight, just making out in the
middle of the street. Later in the
evening, it is no big deal to walk
down a main street and see a
woman straddling her man while
passionately kissing him. Appar-
ently, affection is nothing to hide
or be ashamed of. Yet, a bit of a
contradiction comes with dancing
for Spaniards, in comparison to
Americans.

Fashionology supports student designers
By
DAYNA VASILIK
Circle Contributor
Marist College encourages all
majors on campus to participate
in showcasing their designs to
be sold at Fashionology, the on-
campus fashion boutique.
Senior Cara Holland said,
·
"Lydia Biskup is not just the
teacher of Fashionology, she is
our boss, and we aren't just the
students, we are her employees."
Biskup's employees work as
Fashionology's buyers and re-
viewed student's merchandise
this' past September. Here's a
sneak peek at some of the beau-
tiful handmade accessories.
With inspiration to create a
must-have
luxurious
item,
Mackenzie Hirt put her talents
to use by making headbands for
Fashionology. The Fashion de-
sign major described her head-
bands as similar to those sold at
Anthropologie or Urban Outfit-
ters.
"The headbands I created are
all going to be [sold at] a reason-
able price compared to other
fashion retailers, but still look
high end and are of good qual-
ity," Hirt said.
Hirt stressed how she wanted
the headbands to be appealing to
all styles and personalities
.
While some people might love
the ladylike headbands with
flowers, others may purchase an
edgier headband with studs and
zipper details
.
Hirt wanted each
headband to have something
unique and creative, whether it
is zippers, flowers, beading,
rhinestones
,
lace, gems or other
embellishments.
"Now that the weather is get-
ting colder, everyone could use
one of the knitted headbands,"
Hirt said.
With the exception of the knit-
ted pieces, each headband is an
original, so you don't have to
worry about being spotted wear-
ing the same hair gear as the
girl sitting next to you in class.
These beautiful handmade hair
accessories are a great way to
update your look and stand out
by wearing something that is
different than everyone else.
Each headband is innovative
and the collection is limited, so
make sure to come crown your-
self an original before they sell
aut.
Fashionology reviewed items
presented by all different ma-
jors. As Hirt was showing off
her handmade jewelry,

is just as rare as the accessories
she will be selling at Fashionol-
ogy.
"This past summer, my mom
and I decided to travel cross-
country to purchas~ unique
gems, sterling silver, copper and
other knick-knacks to craft rings
and earrings," Berry said. "Be-
tween traveling and the time
spent on making the jewelry, it
was a very time-consuming proj-
ect."
From ruby red rocks to
sparkling silver stones, these
earrings and rings were cer-
tainly not easy to make, and will
be hard to turn down.
Berry
said her journey was worthwhile
because she not only spent qual-
ity time with her mother, but
she was also impressed with how
she could create such precious
pieces.
It
was a learning and
bonding experience that she now
wants to share with everyone at
Fashionology.
To get a look at the great
handmade
accessories,
the
grand opening will be on Thurs-
day Oct. 28, in the Donnelly Hall

Freshman SGA members
'
first event a great success
By
CASEY GALASSO
Circle Contributor
It was clear that the five teens
who made their way to the al-
coves
in the Student Center,
armed with $110 worth of hot cof-
fee,
five dozen doughnuts and
boxes of munchkins on Tuesday,
Oct. 12, were on a mission. What
sort of mission, you may ask?
Well none other than to serve
their loyal followers, the ones
that elected them Student Gov-
ernment Association (SGA) repre-
sentatives in the first place---the
freshman class
.
Signs and a Facebook group
promoting
"Midterm
Coffee
Break" certainly got students
talking the weekend leading up
to the event. The goal was to pro-
vide a break from hectic midterm
studying with the allure of coffee
and doughnuts coordinated to
From
Pages
bring members of the freshman
class together. What better way
to get to know someone than to
bond over shared stress and para-
noia while drinking yourself into
a caffeinated frenzy.
When the student government
members showed up at the al-
coves around 9:45 p.m. to begin
setting up for the event, tired,
stressed and hungry students
were already waiting for their
coffee, munchkins and chocolate-
covered doughnuts. The event
wrangled in about 100 members
of the freshmen class, if not more.
Borrowing the idea from the up-
perclassmen at Marist, the fresh-
men class officers chose Dunkin
Donuts as their vendor because
they had heard of students going
through
Coolata
withdrawal
since starting the fall semester.
With freshmen not being allowed
to have cars on campus, limiting
their access to Dunkin', the SGA
·
officers decided to come to the
rescue.
Overall, the first freshmen
class SGA event turned out to be
a huge success. With only a $400
budget and a requirement to host
four events this semester, the
team seems to be doing a good job
allocating their funds and are al-
ready
working
on putting to-
gether three more exciting events
before students leave for winter
break in December. Thefreshman
representatives already seem to
be accomplishing what they
claimed to be their main goal; as
Historian Hilary Wiggins said,
"creating a community-type feel
where everyone feels welcome
and supported."
"I'm so happy I decided to go to
Midterm Coffee Break," said Lexi
Mendyck, a student who attended
the event. "The coffee and dough-
nuts were the perfect pick-me-up,
and got me through my final
hours of studying for bio. I was
impressed witli the freshmen
class SGA and I'm really looking
forward to seeing what else
they're going to be doing this
year. Hopefully all of their events
have food that good."
The night wrapped up around
10:30 p.m., when the remaining
freshmen clad in their slippers
and flannel pants, bounded back
to their d9rms to finish any last
minute studying before the Box
O' Joe high wore off.
By the success of the event, it's
safe to say the freshmen class
learned a very valuable lesson
from Midterm Coffee Break:
Marist Runs on Dunkin.
If you
have any suggestions for future
events or questions for the SGA
officers, they are: President: De-
brah Akinwunmi, Vice President:
Dillon Orr, Treasurer: Alexandra
Makowski, Secretary: Olivia Wa-
ters, Historian: Hilary Wiggins.

Psyched for psych research
By
MAGGIE WHEELER
Circle Contributor
The Psychology Club
will hold its
annual Psychology Undergraduate
Research Conference (PURC) the
morning of Dec. 1 in the McCann
Athletic Center. This conference
brings together Marist psychology
students and Poughkeepsie High
School students to present findings
from their psychology studies.
Marist students
will
showcase the
research that they have conducted
on studies that, in the past, have
ranged from memory, to love and
·
to
criminal justice.
"Every year the students present
research and when there are statis-
tically significant findings, they can
get it published," said Erika Thiel,
president of the Marist Psychology
Club.
This event is typically attended
by 30 to 35 Poughkeepsie High
School students. The high school
students with the highest quality
research, will also present their re-
sults.
In addition to the student proj-
ects, three to five guest speakers
lecture on topics related to the
theme of the conference, such as the
psychology of love or the p.sychology
of the mind of a psychopath.
Elizabeth Quinn, associate profes-
sor of psychology at Marist, helps
Kristin Janschewicz, Psychology
Club advisor, and Thiel in choosing
the topics for both the guest speak-
ers and Marist students to research
and present.
Erik Moody, Psychology Club ad-
visor, said that the most important
thing that PURC can do for high
school and
college
students
is.
make ·the conference less intimidat-
ing.
"For many students, the idea of a
professional conference can seem
overwhelming," Moody said. ''The
fact is that conferences across disci-
plines provide an opportunity to so-
cialize and trade ideas in an
informal setting. Conferences can
be a'lot of fun."
Moody said that his favorite as-
pect of PURC is the poster session,
in which Marist students present
their research projects in a poster
format. These projects are often
conducted in collaboration with a
faculty member.
"In one project that I specifically
recall from last year's conference, a
student presented data showing
that horse riding therapy was sig~
nificantly beneficial for children
struggling with developmental dis-
abilities. [This was] important work
with real world application," Moody
said.
Thiel thinks that the turnout
will
be high this year because there are
about 50 more students in the psy-
chology club this semester than last
semester, and also because they are
beginning to advertise for the event
now. Thiel is in her second semes-
ter as president of the psychology
club and said that PURC is one of
the most fun things that psychology
majors can do.

'Lysistrata' spreads peace in ancient Greece
By
RACHAEL SHOCKEY
Staff Writer
This weekend, Marist College
Council on Theatre Arts (MCCTA)
will be performing Aristophanes'
Greek comedy ''Lysistrata," directed
by Jim Steinmeyer and produced by
professor Matt Andrews. The show
will run from Thursday to Saturday
at
8:00
p.m., and Sunday at
2:00
p.m., in the Nelly Goletti.
MCCTA members have found "Ly-
sistrata" refreshing amidst the
more modern plays they've chosen
in the past.
It
also appeals to a de-
mographic that loves sex jokes.
"I actually have the privilege of
wearing a dildo [in the play]," says
junior TJ Riordan, who will play a
member of the men's chorus and an
Athenian delegate. Fraught with in-
nuendos, battles of the sexes and in-
satiable erections, this play is, as
described by Steinmeyer, "kind of
perfect for a college campus."
"Let's face it," Steinmeyer said,
"we do like to laugh at sexual mis-
adventures."
He mentioned that his young
granddaughters are generally in-
vited to all of his productions, but
he's told them they'll have to sit this
one out due to its mature content.
Steinmeyer, a Marist alumnus, re-
turned to the Marist theatre pro-
gram in fall
2009,
after directing a
number of p\ays in the Rochester
area. He has directed mostly Shake-
spearean and period pieces; this is
his first Greek play. He's enjoyed
exploring theatrical features char-
acteristic of Greek drama, particu-
larly the presence of a Greek
chorus.
''The chorus is an interesting ele-
ment, because it reinforces certain

cient Greek playwright Aristophanes,

things.
It
makes Aristophanes'
points much clearer, and becomes
the voice of the audience," he said.
When asked· what the coolest part
about "Lysistrata" is, Steinmeyer
said, ''The outlandish premise ... but
it's an ou~landish premise in sup-
port of a very noble idea."
Long before there was celibate
Lady Gaga touting sex free is the
way to be, there was Lysistrata, a
strong-willed heroine of Ancient
Greece. Stuck in the long-winded
Peloponnesian War, she and the
other women of Athens are fed up
with their homeland being in a state
of trauma and disarray. Lysistrata
proposes to these women to take it
upon themselves to convince their
husbands to make peace and end
the war, by withholding sex from
them until they agree to do so.
The cast and crew are not all in
agreement on whether or not Lysis-
trata should be called a feminist,
but they unanimously believe that
she is empowering to women. "S'he
has balls. Maybe she's not a femi-
nist, but she's strong-willed," said
freshman Emma Dambach, who
will
play
'.Lysistrata's
friend
Calonice. Senior Hilary Sterling,
who will play the leading lady, ad-
mires Lysistrata's comfort with· her
sexuality and femininity.
"She uses feminine wiles to ma-
nipulate, in order to get what [she]
wants," Sterling said.
Steinmeyer wholeheartedly calls
the play's heroine a "feminist ahead
of her time."
"She reminds me very much of
Shakespearean characters like Ros-
alind from 'As You Like It,'
·
Kate
from 'Taming of the Shrew' ... and
even Juliet ... Lysistrata is in that
mold."
Some of the performers expressed
that they were intimidated by the
premise of the play when they first
heard about it. but have really come
to love it since then.
"I was reluctant to try out," Emily
Callahan, a junior who will play the
head of the female chorus, said.
"But I was sold when I went to au-
ditions."
Costume-wise, there is tradition-
ally a lot of nudity featured in ''Ly-
sistrata." MCCTA has adapted this
with togas that Steinmeyer de-
scribes as "less Animal House and
more stylized.''
''Men's chorus goes shirt-off,'' Ri-
ordan said. The women's costumes,
Callahan said, are "like a toga ver-
sion of the Marist College going-out
dress."
On Friday, Oct.
22,
cast members
will be promoting the play in front
of Champagnat. They will be doing
some mini-performances and hand-
ing out free gyros with the purchase
of tickets to the show.

Williams is excited about this

Melt your stress away with Ineditation
By GAIL GOLDSMITH
Web Editor
In
college, our attention spans and
schedules are
segmented
by responsi-
bility, stress and technology. Refresh
yourself by going off the grid and ex-
ploring meditation, a contemplative
practice prominent in Buddhism.
Meditation is the act of withdrawing,
emotionally and physically, from pres-
sure and routine. One must
also
remain
receptive to the experience of suspend-
ing thought, interactions, and anxiety
for the feeling of calm introspection.
Sitting, or
Zazen,
is a common form of
meditational practice. The Burmese
posture is the simplest: sit with your legs
crossed, arms relaxed, hands together
and fingers loosely interlaced. Extend
up through your spine to straighten
your posture. Start by counting your
breaths, and then relax further into your
conscious. When your mind wanders,
start
back
at one, counting your breaths.
The first time may be frustrating; the
posture
and concentration
are
tricky to
maintain.
'While
it's tempting to say that prac-
ticing meditation was
'culture
a la carte,'
it really should be viewed as a gateway
into exploring a culture further and re-
alizing there is more to it than
just
med-
itation,"
said Jonathan Porras, a junior
at Mari.st, who
has
been to Vassar to
meditate with the Buddhist Sangha, a
group of Buddhist practitioners.
''I
know having gone to Japan this past
spring and seeing Buddhist temples and
hearing their stories, it is a very deep
and rich culture that many should ex-
plore. Meditation could be considered
the first step to exploring it," Porras said.
In
secular
or personal meditation,
there
i:8
not just one way to experience
the benefits.
''It's important to carve out a sacred
space for yourself, but it doesn't have to
be while sitting
still,"
religious studies
professor
Dr.
Karen Scialabba said. "For
some people it could be running or
ex-
treme sports. Meditation
is
about living
with tensions and questions. It's so easy
to get distracted by technology, quick
fixes,
and trying to cheer ourselves up."
For many students, college
is
a time to
seek new experiences, explore what is
meaningful to them, and make lifestyle
choices in a context different than the
ones in which they grew up.
Nathan Holton, a Vassar student med-
itating with the Buddhist Sangha for
the first time, sought out the opportu-
nity
for solace. 'Tm sort of on a quest to
find true happiness; I had a rough year
last year. When my friend suggested I
try meditation, it seemed like a natural
next step."
Contemplative
spiritual techniques,
such as meditation and
yoga,
have been
on the
rise
with Christians - particu-
larly Catholics

allowing for more personal interpreta-

Dr. Scialabba explained.
With patience and an open mind, med-
itation could be your best friend for a
study break, a way to relax and unwind,
or the
beginning
of a spiritual search.

Sexual
Healing: A look
at the
-lus
ting-for-leather
lifestyle
By RACHAEL SHOCKEY
Staff Writer
In
the spirit of the Halloween season,
it's time to shed light on a kind of sex
that evokes plenty of fear within those
who don't know a whole lot about it; sex
that goes bump in the night; sex whose
fans bring to the· bedroom the attire
worn to The
Chance on Halloween; sex
that channels the energy of Maggie Gyl-
lenhaal and James Spader in the 2002
film
"Secretary'':
BDSM.
If
you're into
BDSM, you may not even know it yet,
considering that mainstream society
doesn't exactly celebrate it. Most parents
aren't going to mount a pair of nipple
clamps on the fridge in your honor like
they do with your report card. We take
the term ''hush-hush" to a whole new
level when it comes to kink and leather.
Prior to researching, I didn't even know
what the acronym "BDSM' st.ands for.
Commonly
referred
to as
just SM,
sado-
masochism or sadism and masochism,
the BDSM title encompasses a popula-
tion of people who derive sexual pleas-
ure ~y inflicting or receiving physical
pain and/or domination (the BD st.ands
for bondage and domination). It can in-
volve the use of props - often leather,
whips, chains, hot wax, clamps and
other restraints.
Fundamentally, as put by published
clinical sexologist Gloria Brame, BDSM
play includes
"dozens
[of]
kinks
and
fetishes that involve one person
being
in
control and the other person surrender-
ing control. Within a BDSM couple,
there is typically one submissive person
and one dominant person
-
one person
gets off sexually by submitting them-
selves to their partner's domination, and
vice
versa.
The fact that this kind of sex
is
con-
sensual goes unacknowledged by many
people outside the
realm
of leather
las-
civiousness, and this is the controversy.
Since BDSM can involve
mimicking
acts
of
real
violence or abuse, people fre.
quently find this alternative kind of sex
offensive, equating it to
real
abuse and
an unhealthy imbalance of power in a
relationship.
In tum,
those
who practice
BDSM
are
offended by this mentality.
''BDSMers
are
as romantic, loving, and
committed to relationships as anyone
else. But instead of finding a kiss
ro-
mantic, they may find wearing some-
one's collar to be romantic. Or a
spanking may excite them more than
conventional foreplay," writes Brame,
who practices BDSM herself, in an
overview on BDSM from her website.
A notable segment from the mission
statement of the National leather
As-
sociation (yes, you read that correctly;
this subculture isn't as miniscule as one
might imagine) expresses that the or-
ganization exists 'To role model the
power and pride
of
all adults who en-
gage in safe, sane and consensual sex-
ual
expression and encourage
those
who
fight for decriminalization of all sexual
acts between consenting adults."
Most parents aren't going to
mount a pair of nlpple clamps
on the fridge In your honor llke
they do with your report card.
We take the term
"hush-hush"
to a whole new level when it
comes to kink and leather.
The BDSM population works
hard
to
distinguish
itself
from abusers and other
criminals in the eyes of others. The NLA
has
even established its own Domestic
Violence Campaign, in which members
work to offer services and resources to
victims
of
domestic violence.
Intolerance of BDSM play has led
to the concealment of its rich history
in human sexuality. Lesley Hall, an
archivist for the London-based Well-
come Library, cites a number of in-
stances of early forms of BDSM play
throughout world history, including
the erotic Indian text "Kamasutra,"
describing how the text endorsed
"recommendations for the use of
scratching, biting and slapping
...
as
ritualized concomitants of eroti-
cism."
Today, the BDSM population is
growing and thriving.
In
addition
to
the National Leather Association,
there is Folsom Street Events, a
BDSM organization that celebrates
the subculture, and provides those
interested with support, resources
and props. Every September, they
hold Folson Street Fair in San Fran-
ci:sco, in which participants can
come decked out in their leather and
bondage (they may also come
naked), stock up on supplies and cel-
ebrate BDSM with comrades. Fol-
son's and Gloria Brame's websites
are both wonderful, pressure-free re-
sources to explore
if you're feeling
adventurous.

Be bewitching and safe this Halloween
By DAYNA VASIUK
Staff Writer
Dress to Thrill
From a skimpy nurse to a
naughty school girl, the prices of
Halloween costumes are some-
thing to scream about.
If being
a beautiful butterfly costs $65,
then perhaps you should think
twice before making the expen-
sive purchase. Not only are
these costumes pdcey, but they
rarely fit correctly (unless you're
Holly Madison, of course). After
I received my order of a sailor
costume last year, I was left
with the advice of my friends to
use "chicken cutlets."
Anyway, I realized you are bet-
ter off looking through your own
closet, old costumes, and your
friends' and family's clothing to
create fitting and flattering
pieces. This past break I cut up
an old dance costume from when
I was 10 years old and had my
own little Project Runway going
on in my room. Although it is
still a work in progress, I know
the outfit will fit the way I like
it - no chickens necessary. My
housemate, Jackie Dubicki said,
"I decided to cut up my high
school prom dress because I will
probably never wear it again
and I might as well get more use
out of it!"
If you don't have any-
thing in your closet, you can al-
ways try cheap stores such as
Wet Seal or Mandee to make your
outfit work.
While chatting with freshman
Erika Vizary, I asked her what she
is going to be for Halloween this
year. Although she wasn't sure yet,
she made a good point by saying,
''It's always a better night wearing
something that fits right." To save
yourself from carving a hole in your
wallet, buy only separate, necessary
items for a costume. Purchase the
accessories to put your outfit to-
gether, such as the head gear, stock-
ings, jewelry, mask and other little
things
to spruce up your look.
Although you may want to show
as much skin as possible, you don't
want
to freeze; unless you're dress-
ing up as a werewolf, you probably
don't want to make unattractive
howling sounds while waiting in the
long line at the club. To prevent
yourself from groaning in pain,
wear a cheap sweater or jacket that
matches your costume, one that you
don't care about shoving in your bag
once you get in or tossing on the
side. Lastly, beware of a full
moon ... in other words, don't be
caught dead without undies or booty
shorts!
Get Killer
Skin
When we were younger, we
used to binge on all the choco-
lates and sweets. Now that we're
older, some girls have fallen vie-
tim to "binge tanning." Isn't it
funny how tanning salons will
try to trick us into purchasing
packages by promoting the treat
of discounts during this time of
year? They will try to suck you
in - only these vampires appeat"
to be much more orange than the
ones I see on television. I can't
believe I used to lie in those
eerie
booths
that resemble
coffins. Don't fall under the spell
of believing you have to be ab-
no'l"mally tan for Halloween!
·
The cost of a tanning package
is still expensive regardless of
the discount given, and the dam-
age we are doing to our skin is
not worth the one week of feel-
ing like a bronzed babe in our
Halloween get-up.

The right running shoes for Hudson Valley running routes
By
SHANNON
FARR
E
U
Circle Contributor
There is nothing like running
through the red and brown leaves
as they crunch beneath your sneak-
ers, especially while the sunset
glows in the distance. That perfect
smell of apple cider drifts through
the air. Fall in the Hudson Valley is
an impeccable time to run; the air is
crisp and the sights along the Hud-
son River are more breathtaking
than ever.
As an avid runner, I can attest to
the fact that the running equipment
market has gotten pretty over-
whelming. With so many options to
choose from - even as a seasoned
runner - where do you begin? Well,
with your footwear of course. First
of all, keep in mind that there is no
perfect shoe; you have
to find one
that fits you and your running
needs. I've narrowed it down to
some key items
to look for this sea-
son, whether you're running on the
road or trails, want full support or
none at all.
Mid-Hudson Brid,ge
The view from the Mid-Hudson
Bridge is absolutely magnificent
(and this is coming from a girl who
is afraid of heights). Running on
roads puts a lot of pressure on your
feet. Finding a shoe with support for
your specific foot type is essential.
Brooks Adrenaline ASR 7 is a good
fit for those with a low arch.
Mizuno
'
s Wave Ascend 5 is compat-
ible for a runner with a normal
arch, while also providing extra
traction. The Reebok Aztrek 2 is an
option for those with higher arches,
as it offers both cushioning and sta-
bility.
FDR Trails
The trails behind the FDR Man-
sion are a great place to run. Run-
ning with not a person in sight, you
almost forget that the grungy
streets of Poughkeepsie are so near.
Though you may be absorbed in the
escape from research papers and lab
reports, keep in mind that the ter-
rain can get a little dangerous. Be-
cause these trails are covered with
rocks,
wet leaves and fallen
branches, a trail shoe is a smart op-
tion. The Salomon S-LAB 3XT
Wings provide that extra protection
through its welded overlays that se-
cure the foot and prevent it from
sliding within the shoe. The shoe
also reduces blisters because it is
made with very few seams.
Vanderbilt Gardens
Vanderbilt Mansion has beautiful
acres of land consisting of both
trails and grass fields. The grass
fields around the mansion are great
for a run with less stress on the legs.
For a little less support, FiveFin-
gers by Vibram. has won over the
running crowd. I spotted first spot-
ted on the East River walkway in
New York this summer, and ever
since I have seen them everywhere

.
$500
- from the feet of actor Matthew
McConaughey to marathoner
Patrick Sweeney. Weighing only
5. 7 oz., the shoes are very light-
weight and carry little support.
The shoes give the runner an
extra bounce as she or he runs
off the arch.
Barefoot Running?
The first runners were bare-
foot. T.oday, professional ath-
letes and experts such
as
Christopher McDougall, author
of "Born to Run", claim that the
best way to adjust your running
form is barefoot. However, feet
need the added support once in a
while, so don't go throwing away
those kicks. Poughkeepsie may
not be the best place to test out
barefoot running. I personally
favor wet sand and splashing
waves, but some soft grass may
do the trick. You just have to
test it out before those flakes
start falling.

Foxes
look
to build around
added size in
2010
By PHILIP TERRIGNO
Managing Editor
Starting every single game and
playing 30 minutes per contest wore
on 6-foot-nine-inches Korey Bauer,
the biggest body on last season's 1-
29 Marist men's basketball squad.
Since the Red Foxes didn't feature
an additional true post presence,
practice designs became limited and
the sessions were shortened in
length.
''We limited the practices and did
not go the full two hours," head
coach Chuck Martin said.
"It
wasn't
as physical because you're con-
stantly thinking, 'Oh man,
if
Korey
goes down, we literally do not have
a center.' Our practices were not as
intense and we didn't do as must be-
cause we were trying to be conser-
vative."
In 2010-2011, there will be no
such issue.
Marist's refreshed roster that fea-
tures added size opened up its sea-
son with a three-hour practice on
Friday, Oct. 15. The team worked
on transition drills with a focus on
its offense and breaking down into
a zone defense.
All 13 scholarship players had
been working in small group ses-
sions with the coaching staff prior
to
coming together.
"Now, we really get to see just
where we are," point guard Devin
Price said. "When you have the
whole team together, and you're
feeding off everyone's energy, every-
one is buying into the goals that we
want
to
accomplish together.''

The
2010-11 season will open up
with
a road game at Villanova
on Nov. 16.
Marist's freshmen class.
Prinsloo,
a native of Johannes-
burg, South Africa, and Bowie, a
wing forward, both participated in
Friday's practice.
"Pieter and Jay had great energy
for their first official college practice
and they were energetic," Price said.
''They were competitive and they
were speaking. That's something I
didn't have for my first practice. It's
good to see that they are comfort-
able and they're off to a good start."
Kemp, who attended high school
at the Winchendon School in Mas-
sachusetts, is currently sidelined
with a lower leg injury and will be
cleared to playing beginning in De-
cember.
"Adam has a good confidence and
he knows how he can change a
game with his rebounding and shot
blocking," Price said. "His offensive
gam!:' will come, but you can't teach
effort and he may be one of the
hardest working players."
Martin will be able to insert two
forwards that redshirted
as
fresh-
men last season, Menelik Watson
and Anell Alexis, into practice to
help implement new wrinkles into
the team's offensive and defensive
schemes.
''We've got to figure out how to
play with big guys because we've
had a smaller team," Martin said. "I
want to go up and down, push the
ball hard and try to hit the three
if
its open in transition. Now we have
to take advantage of this new offen-
sive size."
Watson, who is listed as 6-foot-8-
inches, 270-pounds, played
on
the
Great Britain Under 20 national
team and the Michael Jordan All-
star select team.
"[Watson] is a physical presence
and he's arguably one of the bigger
guys in the league," Martin said. "I
expect him to be a defensive pres-
ence, rebounding on both ends.
Since I've been here, I've never had
a low-post threat. I think we can get
the ball
to
him and he can score."
Bauer and fifth-year player De-
juan Goodwin are the only seniors
on a roster in which 10 of the 13
scholarship players are underclass-
men.
''You always look to your seniors,
and I've got two that I inherited
from the previous [coaching] staff,"
Martin said. ''This is their fourth
and fifth collegiate season, and you
look towards them
to
give you some
leadership.''
Diving
right into its practice
schedule, Marist held two-a-day
practice sessions
during
the week-
end of Oct. 16 and 17 and the first
week of practice will culminate with
a red and white scrimmage on Sat-
urday, Oct. 26.
·
"I certainly think that this is a
team that can definitely improve,"
Martin said.
''I
think that this core
group will make things really excit-
ing in the McCann Center over the
next three, four years. I don't know
at what point, but at some point in
their careers, they are going to
make a run at the MAAC champi-
onship."
Marist's first game is a televised
contest on Nov. 16 at Villanova.
"We're just focused on our own
stuff.
We're
not concerned with all
of that T.V. stuff, we're just taking
one
step
a
time." Bauer said. "[Our]
emphasis was is on getting better,
that's our goal right now."
Foxes own first place after victory over Canisius
By
MIKE WALSH
Staff Writer
When the lights of Leonidoff Field
get switched on this Saturday night,
they will be shedding light on much
more than an intercollegiate soccer
match.
The girls of Marist Soccer will jog
onto the field in their glossy red and
white jerseys to face off with the
school's biggest rival Siena, a team
that was nationally ranked before
dropping two mat<;!hes this past
weekend. However, most
if
not all
of that will be taking a backseat to
the large ''Kickin' for a Cure" signs
brought by the Miles of
Hope
Breast
Cancer Foundation.
On the night of their biggest game
of the season, Marist will share the
field not only with the Saints of
Loudonville, but also with a group
of
breast
cancer survivors. The
starting 11 won't take the field
alone Saturday, as each member
will be joined by a cancer survivor.
If
you know someone who should be
honored during this ceremony, con-
tact Frank Lombardy
:
Frank.Lom-
bardy@marist.edu.
With Siena's losses to Canisius
and Niagara, they fell to 4-2 in their
conference and 13-2 overall. Marist
(9-7, 5-1) claimed sole possession of
first place in the MAAC with their
3-1 victory over Canisius Sunday.
The win came after the Red Foxes
dropped their first conference match
Qf the season in a 1-0 pitch against
Niagara Friday night.
"It
was definitely encouraging to
hear they had a rough time and
aren't cruising through the confer-
ence anymore," senior captain Lau-
ren Tillotson said. "We know they'll
have extra fire Saturday knowing
that they can't lose another game."
Marist was held scoreless through
a game and a half of soccer last
weekend before breaking through
with three markers in the second
half at Canisius. After outshooting
Niagara 20-8 in the game, the team
tried not to get discouraged after
being shut out.
"It was definitely frustrating, but
with
any
loss you have to take the
positives out
of
it," Tillotson said.
''We learned
to
lose in the MAAC
which is a valuable experience.''
Marist finally broke out of the
drought thanks to sophomore Ja-
clynn Sabia, who broke the 0-0
deadlock with an early second-half
goal. Two minutes into the half,
Sabia launched a shot into the
upper left corner of the net. After
that, the floodgates opened and jun-
ior Kathryn Harris tallied her first
score of the season.
In the 88th minute, sophomore
Jackie Frey beat three defenders
but had her shot blocked by the
keeper. Luckily, Sabia was there to
hammer home the rebound for her
second score of the 'day.
Sabia now has five goals on the
season, giving her 11 in her young
career.
"Jackie is a very talented player
with great skill and ability," Tillot-
son said. "She is realizing now that
she can break down defend~rs and
put the ball in the back of the net."
The win was necessary for mo-
mentum heading into the big week-
end matchup with Siena.
"Everyone is looking forward to
Saturday," Tillotson said. ''With
Siena being a big rival, we are put-
ting
.
in extra work to promote the
game."
''We need to have a lot of team-
work and focus this week to get
ready and realize the importance of
this
game,"
Sabia said.
Siena's team will match up well
with the girls in red this season as
they bring finesse and skill to
Poughkeepsie. Siena features a few
crafty forwards like Ashleigh
Barone, who has 20 points on the
season. She is flanked by Tabitha
Tice and Brittany Pfaff who have
seven and eight goals this year, re-
spectively. The Siena net minders
split time fairly equally, but expect
to
see junior Laura Ettinger in net
Saturday looking for her eighth win.
Marist will counter with the of-
fensive push of Sabia, along with
rapidly improving freshmen Rycke
Guiney and Samantha Panzner.
The defense of the Red Foxes will be
tested by Siena's high scoring at-
tack but should be game to the task
as senior keeper Jaimie Balzarini
and company have allowed only
three goals in their six MAAC
games.
Sabia looks at Siena's recent woes
as a good sign for Marist.
"Now we know we can definitely
beat them," she said. ''We feel we
have an advantage since they are
slumping.''
The girls have been out and about
putting up signs advertising this big.
event and 4ave also been receiving
donations in the form of gift certifi-
cates to local businesses that will be
raffled off Saturday night. Coach
Steve Davis has his girls expecting
over
a
thousand fans in attendance
Saturday night at 7:00pm.
"It's great when our home field ac-
tually feels like home," Tillotson
said. ''We appreciate all the support
we get and it's going to be an excit-
ing game.''
Sabia has now experienced the ri-
valry for a full year and hopes that
this game will "show the whole
team and school just how competi-
tive the matchups with Siena are.''
After Siena's recent troubles, the
sophomore standout can smell blood
in the water saying, "we are just
going
to
bring it even harder now.''

Men's soccer completes three game road trip
By SCOTT ATKINS
Sports Editor
The Marist men's soccer team
opened conference play last week,
going 1-2 on their three-game road
trip.
Dropping two out of their first
three MAAC games is not the start
head coach Matt Viggiano had in
mind, but he knows there is still a
lot of soccer to be played.
''We've got four of our last six
games at home," he sai<;l..
"If
we take
care of business, we should defi-
nitely make it [into the MAAC Tour-
nament]."
The MAAC Tournament involves
three matches in which the top four
seeds from the regular season bat-
tle for the conference crown. Last
year's tournament saw Loyola beat
out Niagara 1-0 in a double over-
time match that ~as aired on
ESPNU. The Foxes ended the sea-
son champions. Brossard scored for
son ranked fifth in the conference,
missing the tournament by one
spot.
Marist entered MAAC play with a
5-4 record, winning four of their last
six matches. The squad traveled to
Loudonville,
N.Y.
to play Siena on
Oct. 9 to begin their road-trip. The
"Our goal now is to undefeated
at home in the MAAC."
- Head coach Matt Viggiano
Foxes saw the Saints score the first
four goals of the match, before soph-
omore Stephen Brossard put the
ball in the back of the net to make
it 4-1. The game finished with Siena
earning a commanding 5-1 victory.
Next up for the Foxes was a Fri-
day afternoon matchup against
Iona, the 2009 MAAC regular sea-
the second straight game and put
Marist ahead in the 19th minute.
The one-goal lead would last until
junior Lucas Szabo gave the Foxes
a two goal cushion with 16 minutes
left in the match as the Fo~es
shutout the Gaels 2-0, and im-
proved to 5-0 when scoring first.
"[Scoring (irst] lets the team
breathe easy," Viggiano said. "It ac-
tually plays into our style because
teams like to play defensive against
us. But when we score first' the
other team has to expand and it
leads to success for us."
Marist completed the three-gaine
road trip with a match against Fair-
field, who entered the game with a
2-5 record. The Stags jumped out to
an early lead,..,scoring in the 15th
minute, and by. middle of the second
half, the Foxes were in the hole 3-0.
Brossard
eventually would tally his

At Penn State, Marist took 12th
place in a field that included the
likes of Syracuse, Penn State and
Villanova, and other regionally
ranked squads.
"We sent our top guys for the most

job, being in the top half of a na-
tional-caliber field," coach Pete Co-
laizzo said.
The Red Foxes finished with 344

Marist misses too many opportunities, falls to 2-4 overall
"I was looking to spark something
with any type of return because the
offense was really str\lggling,"
LaMacchia said. "I saw a defender,
and it looked like he was going to
over pursue. I stepped up and
caught
it;
and he did over pursue.
That gave me some room and I was
able to break it outside."

ToreroS top Red Foxes in final seconds
ByJIM
URSO
Sports Editor
On Saturday at Tenney Stadium,
there were roughly 54 minutes be-
tween the San Diego Torero's two
football
touchdowns. However,
those
two
scores
would be enough to defeat the
Marist football team 14-10.
''We gave them one too many op-
portunities at the end of the football
game and they made us pay for it,"
Marist coach Jim Parady said.
The Red Foxes committed two
turnovers, haq a field goal blocked,
and scored three points in four trips
to the red zone.
With thirty seconds remaining,
the Toreros scored on a seven-yard
touchdown pass from Mason Mills
to Sam Hoekstra to cap a 61-yard
drive in less than three minutes.
·
"It was a play they had run before
and we thought they may go back
to," Parady said. "They did, and
they threw over the top of one guy
and a half-of man away from an-
other and they executed beautifully,
and into a strong wind too."
Although the Toreros gained 396
yards, the Red Foxes' defense was
able to keep San Diego off the score-
board for a large portion of the
game.

Despite a strong defensive performance, Marist could not stop the San Diego Toreros
from scoring a game-winning touchdown in the final minute of Saturday's PFL contest.
"It's unfortunate the game ended
the way it did," sophomore line-
backer Tyler Ramsey said. "Al-
though it hurts, we just have to look
at the positives."
San Diego's other touchdown came
on its first drive when the Toreros
marched 80 yards
in
11 plays.
''That was a rough drive," Ramsey
said. ''We made some adjustments
alignment wise and stopped blitzing
.1s much."
Ramsey compiled nine tackles and
snagged an interception
in
the end
zone during the third quarter. On
the 3-yar-line, Mills rolled out right

as he surveyed the field for an open

''The quarterback [Mills] faked me
out on the play action, so I-pushed
back," Ramsey said. '

I thought he
may try to push the ball over the
top. I don't even think he saw me."
Early in the second quarter fresh-
man defensive back Nick Kaszei in-
tercepted a pass on the Marist
16-yard-line, returning it 63 yards
to the San Diego 21. The Red Foxes,
however, could not convert the
turnover into points.
"We moved the ball, we just didn't
put it in the end zone," Parady said.
"Finishing drives is the issue."
According to Ramsey, the defense
holds no resentment against an of-
fensive unit that ran for 25 yards on
28 carries and scored 3 points
in
two
trips inside the 5-yard-line.
"You can argue that we should've
stopped them on that final drive
,
"
Ramsey said.- ''We
win and lose as a
team."
Marist's lone touchdown came on
a punt return. With 3:4 7 remaining
in the second quarter, senior James
LaMacchia received a punt, broke
through a number of Toreros and
galloped 69 yards toward the goal
line. The return put Marist up 10-7
