Hoyas expose Foxes
on national stage
BY PHILIP TERRIGNO

Sports Editor
The two-month-long 2009-2010
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
schedule moved along slowly but
surely for the Marist women's bas-
ketball team as it casually defeated
nearly- every team it faced.
Just 13 days after they captured
their fifth consecutive league title,
the Red Foxes realized that on a na-
tional stage, things happen much
quicker.
A season of hard work and domi-
nance was put to an abrupt end by
the Georgetown Hoyas, a Big East
conference member that used a re-
markable second half performance
to defeat Marist 62-42 on March 20.
period. With just under a minute
before the second half was sched-
uled to begin, Georgetown took the
floor without a warm up period that
is typically taken by both teams.
As Marist would soon find out,
their opponents proved more than
capable of firing on all cylinders
without taking the time to stretch.
"[Georgetown] came out more in-
tense than they did in the first half
and they just hit some shots," guard
Corielle Yarde said.
"It
took the
wind right out of our sails. It kind of
went downhill from there. We tried,
but I don't think there was anything
we could do from there."
The Red Foxes had a hot shooting
streak of their own, opening the
game on a 7 -0 run that was started

Over a span of 3:20 to open the
second half, Georgetown embarked
on a 13-0 run, establishing a lead
that they would not relinquish for
the remainder of the contest.
"I thought we had a great first
half, a great game plan, things were
going pretty well," Marist coach
Brian Giorgis said following the
game. ''Unfortunately, the game
seemed to be decided in the first two
minutes of the second half."
Following the tenacious George-
town run, Marist would come no
closer than 11 points for the rest of
the game.
In
an interesting fashion, the
Hoyas emerged from the locker
room extremely late in the halftime
finished with 15 points and eight re-
bounds.
"I think we were feeling more con -
fident as we kept scoring, and just
sticking to the game plan that
[coach Brian] Giorgia gave us,"
Yarde said. "It's so great coming out
with that lead because we knew we
had to come out right from the be-
ginning in order to have a shot at
this game."
The Red Foxes continued to hold a
substantial lead well into the con-
test, maintaining a 16-6 advantage
with just under 14 minutes remain-
ing in the first half.
The Hoyas, who
posted
a 25-6
record coming into the contest, per-
sisted and overtook the Marist lead
with 1:59 remaining in the first half

and trailed by as much as 27 points
in the game due to its poor shooting,
finishing just 13-for-60 from the
field.
''We knew we were going to have
to come back from that," senior
Rachele Fitz said. ''We needed to go
down and get shots and continue to
go at it."
Part of the Red Foxes game plan
was to try and deal with the re-
spected and high energy George-
town pressure defense effectively,
but the Hoyas were able to contest
and alter many Marist shot at-
tempts.
"[Georgetown] did a really good job
of closing out and getting to shoot-
ers and really taking away the in-
side

Giorgis
said.
"[Georgetown] rotated hard and
Rachele [Fitz] had a tough time get-
ting the ball inside."
Fitz finished with 10 points and
nine rebounds, giving her 2,447
points and 1,066 rebounds for her
career.
Georgetown was carried by excel -
lent performances from several of
its players, including 14 points from
Monica McNutt and 11 from Magee.
Alexa Roche grabbed 12 rebounds
and Shanice Fuller had 11 assists.
The loss caps Marist's season with
a 26-8 overall record, its fourth con-
secutive year with at least 25 victo-
ries.
"[The loss] definitely lit some fire
under us," Yarde said. "The first
round game definitely provided [us
with] the experience that we needed
to see in order to get there again,
and come out with a win."
Trio of Star Seniors
Unlike last season when Marist
graduated two seniors, only one of
which saw significant playing time,
Marist graduates three seniors who
are very important to the program
this season.
Fitz, Lynzee Johnson and Britney
Engle compose this year's senior
class, and have all been a valuable
part of the team during their ca-
reers.
Fitz is a three-time MAAC Player
of the Year that holds nearly every
offensive record in Marist basket-
ball history, while Johnson has been
enormously effective as a bench
player for the Red Foxes.
As
a soph-
omore, Johnson earned the MAAC
Sixth-Player of The Year award.
After missing her junior season
due to illness; Engle was offered to
return to the team in a capacity
other than as a player, perhaps tak-
ing some coaching responsibilities.
The senior opted to accept the offer
of limited playing time, and has
been a valuable mentor for her
teammates.
Fitz, Johnson and Engle combined
for a career record of 116-21 while
· also clinching four MAAC champi-
onship titles and three NCAA tour-
nament victories.
Marist returns four of its starting
five players next season, including
a nucleus of two sophomores and
one freshman. As always, expecta-
tions will be high for the Red Foxes
next season.
''There's a lot of people who are not
expecting us to do much with this
senior class gone," Giorgis said. "It's
up to [the returners] to continue
what we have going."

Security Briefs
Mischeif happens elsewhere over break
By
CHRIS RAIA
Staff Writer
We're back! Spring break was great,
but it feels good to be back on campus,
especially since it can be strongly ar-
gued that Sunday afternoon's weather
was absolutely perfect. I never went
inside. I put my laptop, which was
showing the Maryland vs. Michigan
State game, on the stoop, put the vol-
ume on high and my roommate and I
continued our UCONN women-esque
winning streak in Polish Golf.
Anyway, the security briefs are tak-
ing a break this week. Apparently,
two days isn't enough time for you
guys to do anything noteworthy.
That's probably a good thing. My ed-
itors have asked me to write an article
on any stories I heard from my friends
about their spring break experiences,
so
I'll
attempt to do that.
Leprechauns Grow Up
Too
Hmm, where should I even start? I
could talk about one of my good
friends getting kicked out of a CVS on
St. Patrick's Day. He pointed at a
stack of paper towels, told a worker he
was going
to
knock
them down and
then he knocked them down. He was
prQIDptly told to leave and to grow up.
His response? ''I'm ALL grown up.
Like the Rugrats." He's
fun.
Hang on,
did I mention
all
of this happened at
10 a.m.-? Because it did.

"One Less Lonely Girl"
Then there's another one of my
friends whose little sister is starting
to grow up. We
all
know how that
feels. It sucks.
It
sucks even more

find out your 14-year-old sister has a

she
joined the fanpage "Enough with the
poking; let's just have sex'' on Face-

I blame Justin Bieber.
Bread Thieves in Buffalo
I just walked next door and asked
my friend from Buffalo
if
she has any
crazy stories.
''I
evaded the cops!"
I
asked another friend the same thing.
''I
visited a friend at school, stole a
girl's loaf of bread, and put each indi-
vidual slice in different washing ma-
chines and turned them
all
on. Then
I left." Wow.
Big Trouble for Big China
Oh! During the University of Mary-
land's spring break, my friend from
high school had a conflict with a guy
who voluntarily goes by the name Big
China. Turns out, China was trying
to hook up with another friend of ours,
and when that plan crashed and
burned, he blamed my friend for in-
terfering instead of, you know, con-
ceding to the fact that he made a fool

They got into an old-fash-
ion stare down, in which China looked
away first. America - 1, China - 0.
Interesting subplot: later in the day,
my friend was involved in an argu-
ment with a German soccer player
and an Italian. And Big China, oddly
enough, is actually Japanese. Can
you say World War
II
all over again?!
Relaxin' Raia
Then there was me. During my
spring break, I helped my brother re-
.
build his bathroom, cleaned up my
backyard, took four separate trips to
the county dump, .and actively
avoided doing homework. It doesn
'
t
sound very interesting, but I couldn't
really ask for much more. I took ad-
vantage of living in D.C. and ate lunch
at the National Mall, where
if
you look
straight you
see
the Capital building,
and
if
you turn around you see the
Washington Monument.
On
top of
that, I slept, I ate good food and, most
importantly,
I
got to spend time with
the people I love.
So
fm not com-
plaining.

Skepticism overshadows health care reform bill
By
HEATHER STAATS
Opinion Editor
When I voted for President Obama
in Nov. 2008, I did so because of his
overly ambitious, "I can save Amer-
ica" attitude. His SJ)eeches mirrored
my own personal Disney-esque be-
liefs that if you aim high and work
harder every day than you did the
previous one, that you can literally
achieve anything. But somewhere
along the line I began to realize that
while those ambitions can lead us to
great accomplishments, they re-
quire a certain amount of sacrifice.
With the passage of Patient Protec-
tion and Affordable Care Act, I find
myself questioning what sacrifices
we will need to make as a nation to
make this a success.
When one of my English profes-
sors asked us to write an argumen-
tative essay about our feelings on
the public option, I threw my ex-
tremely liberal defense at Obama's
plan. It sounded perfect: free health
care for millions of uninsured Amer-
icans (including many children and
hard-working middle class people
who lost coverage along with their
jobs in our tanking economy).
To the arguments that it was too
socialistic and threatened the pri-
vate sectors I stuck my leftist nose
in the air. What some call s
·
ocialis-
tic, I called progressive. And forgive
me for having little sympathy for
the obscenely wealth:y: private
health insurance companies.
But some of my more conservative
relatives brought some other issues
to my mind that I hadn't previously
considered. Doesn't this just give
many unemployed workers an ex-
cuse to remain jobless? Won't this
cause emergency rooms to end up
even more congested? Do we have
enough doctors to cover a surge in
coverage? And where the hell is all
the money for this coming from?
Our pockets.
When I heard the announcement
that the health care overhaul bill
passed in the House on Sunday
night, I honestly didn't know how to
feel. How could I feel anything less
than thrilled at the prospect of of-
fering insurance to some 34 million
Americans who need it? At the same
time, I worry about how much this
bill will end up costing our already
failing ec-onomy.
Taxes surely will increase thus
causing many Americans who prob-
ably already oppose the bill to show
even more outrage. Then there's the
issue of bipartisanship. Call me old-
fashioned, but I think that the best
way to make everybody happy is
through plain old compromise. With
the roundabout method employed
by democrats to ensure a victory in
the House, many unhappy republi-
cans will likely hold the gtudge.
This can only mean bad news for
the other items on Obama's agenda.
Sen. McCain, who ran against
HOPE MOORE/FUCKR.COM
Obama signed the monumental Health Care Overhaul Bill into law Tuesday to the
Joy
of democratic legislators and the disdain republicans looking to prove the bill
•unconstitutional."
Obama in the 2008 election, repre-
sents one such opinion.
"There will be no cooperation for
the rest of this year," McCain said in
an interview Monday with KFYI
radio in Arizona. ''They have poi-
soned the well in what they have
done and how they have done it."
Ultimately, I applaud the efforts of
the legislators who worked so tire-
lessly with the intent to insure all
Americans. Helping others and en-
suring that everyone gets the care
they need sounds pretty American
to me.
In
the same breath, I have my
reservations about how much those
of us with health care already will
end up paying for this dream to be-
come a reality.
I hope that my initial reaction to
the public option ends up being the
one that I ultimately return to. The
Obama administration will need to
fight hard to stomp out republican
lawsuits and to convince other skep-
tics like myself that this is indeed
the right choice. In the end, I hope
the reality proves my reservations
completely unnecessary.
Females to blame for decline of dating in "hookup" culture
By ALEX PERRY
The Daily Collegian
I am tired of most things in our
"progressive" culture today - and
I'm not just talking about the ''Let's
have government solve all of our
problems" warpath our expert
NCAA basketball bracket-picking
president is on.
Specifically, one of the biggest
problems keeping me tossing and
turning at night is the seemingly
ridiculous, dumb phenomenon that
has become mainstream in recent
years: casual ''hookups." It is seem-
ingly present at every college and
high school around the United
States these days.
This culture of people "hooking
up" with others whom they are not
dating or, God forbid, married to
drives me crazy for a few reasons.
The first is how unattractive and
degrading it is for women, but I di-
gress. What I want to talk about is
where our society is headed. When
my parents were my age, it was not
commonplace for people to
''hookup"
with one another without dating. In
their crazy world, the norm was for
people to date and then, if after dat-
ing for a period of time a couple de-
cided they liked each other, they
might have engaged in "hooking
up" before marriage. But some-
where along the line during the
past 20 years, men were apparently
successful in creating a culture
where the norm became hooking up
with someone for a period of time
and then, if you like the hookups,
consider-dating.
I want to be clear about some-
thing, particularly to my female
counterparts. Hooking up with
someone without dating them is not
a winning strategy for forming a
long-term romantic relationship.
Most guys are just not going to re-
spect a girl they are casually hook-
ing
up
with enough to enter into a
romantic relationship with them.
If
they intended to date the girl they
were hooking up with, they
would've already asked the girl out
on a date.
I think a common question among
girls my age is, why haven't I been
asked out on dates? Why are they
single? Many girls seem to have just
convinced themselves that "dating
is dead" or "people just don't date
anymore." lean tell all the girls who
feel this way why they are never
asked out on dates - guys no longer
have to do this to get what they
want on a Friday night. Girls have
enabled men to hook up with them
casually, no strings attached.
I say girls have enabled this be-
cause they engage in the behavior of
hooking up casually, too. If girls
want relationships, they simply
shouldn't enable guys to hook up
with them without being commit-
ted.
'W}ly would a guy ask a girl he
could casually hook up with on a
date? What is the benefit of dating
for a college-aged male in this situ-
ation? Getting to know her, too? I
don't think getting to know some-
one is high on a guy's priority list
on a Friday riight. Casual hookups
probably are, though.
I was watching a show on MTV
_
the other day entitled, ''True Life: I
Have a Friend with Benefits." For
those who don't know, "friends with
benefits" are people who are al-
legedly friends, but cross the lines
of a standard friendship by hooking
up. This classic episode of "True
Life" documented how poorly these
relationships work. It showed the
girls in these relationships crying
at the end because they were so
devastated that the friends-with-
benefits relationship wasn't going
to turn into a long-term romantic
one. The guys on the show rejected
them.
Girls know that friends-with-
benefits relationships don't end
well for them, yet still practice the
behaviors they know are doomed to
fail.
I'm just tired of girls complaining
about a problem that they them-
selves are causing. "Am I ever
going to find someone?" It's ridicu-
lous. No, it is highly unlikely you
will find someone while engaging
in casual hookup behavior. It's like
a fat man eating a Big Mac, fries
and a liter of Coke at McDonald's,
then complaining about his weight.
You are causing the problem my
friend. You can only solve the prob-
lem by disengaging from this be-
havior.
I hate to single out girls for this
issue, but they are the problem.
This "casual hookup" scenario is
not a problem from a guy's per-
spective. Hooking up with girls
without having to put forth any ef-
fort? It would have sounded like a
paradise fantasy world for guys 50
years ago. Guys don't want to
change this situation; they want to
keep it going. If girls are waiting
around for guys to step up to the
plate, they are also probably wait-
ing for Kansas to cut down the nets
in the Final Four.
The way to stop our culture from
regressing to the point where no
one ever bothers to get married
anymore is for women to stop prais-
ing behavior found in shows like
"Sex and the City." Stop becoming
friends with benefits. Stop casually
hooking up with guys when you
binge drink on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights. Only when
this occurs will our country be able
to revive a culture of dating. Until
then, I don't want girls who casu-
ally hookup with guys to complain
about being single, or ask why guys
are not asking them out on dates.
Get your act together, or you girls
will continue to stare at that "sin-
gle" status on Facebook.

Do it in the dark for climate change
By
GAIL GOLDSMITH
Features Editor
Shed a little light on environmental
and climate change issues by cutting
off your lights and electrical appli-
ances from 8:30 to 9:30p.m. on Sat-
urday, March 27, for World Wildlife
Fund's Earth Hour.
Now
in its third year, Earth Hour
is a global awareness and action cam-
paign for climate change issues,
boasting nearly one billion partici-
pants all over the world.during Earth
Hour 2009. Individuals, cities and
landmarks, including
·
the Empire
State Building, the Great Pyramids
at Giza and St. Peter's Basilica in
Vatican City also participate.
Students Encouraging Environ-
mental Dedication (S.E.E.D.) will be
hosting an event celebrating student
parti~ipation in Earth Hour on the
Champagnat Green, featuring stu-
dent acoustic bands, glow-in-the-
dark
Frisbee
games,
and
refreshments.
"S.E.E.D.'s
overall mission
is
toed-
ucate students about global and en-
vironmental concerns, while taking
action in order to voice these con-
cerns,'' Alexis Jurewicz, webmaster
and executive board member, said.
''The purpose of Earth Hour
is
to
take
action against climate change. Since
climate change is one of the biggest
threats to the environment right
now, S.E.E.D. is participating in
Earth Hour in order to educate the
members, students, and the Marist
community about the event and to
take action against climate change.''
Over the past year, S.E.E.D. has
sponsored hikes, canoe trips, organic
dinners and environmentally themed
movie nights.
"Although S.E.E.D. is not only
about the trips, we get a lot of mem-
bers whose major interest in the club
is an excuse to get off campus and do
something outside. It's why I joined,"
Seth Brittle, the club's treasurer,
said. ''We try to maintain a good bal -
ance between our love for the ou.t-
doors, service for our community, and
encouraging ways to live environ-
mentally friendly and sustainably.
S.E.E.D. provides a forum for stu-
dents to discuss global environmen-
tal resource issues.
''The
country's dependency on and
usage of oil, such a finite resource,
is
leading to severe environmental a,nd
health effects. Some people think
that such a large issue cannot be
dealt with on a smaUer scale, but
S.E.E.D. gives students the opportu-
nity to do just that. Students should
participate in S.E.E.D. so they can
learn how vital it is to protect the en-
vironment and realize that even
small actions can make a difference,"
said Jurewicz, an Environmental
Sci-
ence major who joined S.E.E.D. be-
cause the club addressed her
interests and gave her the opportu-
nity to voice her concerns about the
environment.
S.E.E.D and the Student Program-
ming Council also ~o-sponsored a
Mission Wolf event last semester.
Mission Wolf is a wolf sanctuary in
Colorado with an ambassador wolf
program, educating people about the
wolves' recovery from the endan-
gered species status.
''We were lucky enough to have
three wolf ambassadors walk around
the Student Center PAR as about a
hundred members and students sat
around in'a circle and were encour-
aged to pet the animals as they

happy to say this happened to me,
and surprisingly left me in tears be-
cause it was such a great sight to see
these animals inspire such a young
audience who probably never even
imagined they would see a wolf this
close."
According to Jurewicz, S.E.E.D. is
forming small committees to help
with the Farmer's Market next year,
with the goal of hosting that event
every week or every other week, and
to maintain a small garden on cam-
pus.
S.E.E.D. also participated in 350's
International

24, and will host a Dumpster Dive on
April 15, the Campus Sustainability

Day.
"Sustainability fits into Marist's ed-

worried that

Sophomore Myriah Anderson, who
lives with Jurewicz in one of the two
Gartland Sustainability Houses, has
found it to be a positive experience.
Residents in these houses are sup-
posed to contribute to two activities a
semester, such as Sustainability Day
and writing letters to congressmen
about green legislature.
Residents of both houses also meet
to discuss projects and act as a focus
group.
''We are supposed to use green
household products," Anderson said.
''We also shop at farmers' markets for
cheaper, fresher, and local produce:
Everything gets recycled in our
house. We compost and add it to the
cafeteria's."
Most of what Sustainability House
residentsdo can be done in campus
housing.
''Being sustainable on campus is not
difficult," Melissa Zeffer, S.E.E.D.'s

Film Review: I'm Here'
Spike Jonze tells tale
of robot love
FROM SLASHRLM.COM
Spike Jonze's short film
is
a charming love story between
two
robots, Sheldon (Andrew Garfield) and Francesca (Sienna Guillory).
By
RYAN RIVARD
A&EEditor
The Spike Jonze-directed robot love
story, "I'm Here," debuted at the
Sundance Film Festival last Janu-
ary,
and now it can be viewed online
at the film's official website, Imhere-
movie.com, or for the impatient, on
YouTube (in multiple segments).
Before I get into the film itself, I
have to express how much I love the
distribution methods of this short.
The first thing that is right is the
price. No one can argue with free.
The other aspect I like is the limited
edition aspect. The film is available
for viewing on the website, but it
only allows so many people to view a
showing.
If
you
try
to see when it has
reached capacity, a message says,
"Sorry the theater
is full."
As
much
frustration as this may cause it does
a great job at simulating the cine-
matic experience through the Inter-
net.
As
you enter the 'digital theater,'
it even asks you if want to connect
with friends on Facebook to watch it.
But now onto the
film.
The 30-minute short film is the
story of a romance between Sheldon
(Andrew Garfield) and Francesca
(Sienna Guillory), two robots living
in L.A. Sheldon is lonely and lives a
mundane life. He commutes to work
at the library on a public bus, and
sadly stares at this increasingly
cruel world. At one point, Sheldon
sees an unfortunate robot mutilated
after a car accident. After sorting
books
away
at the library, he returns
home to his empty apartment, taps
his toes for awhile, and then plugs
himself in for the night.
His whole life changes though
when he· meets Francesca, an extro-
verted female robot who injects
much needed zing in Sheldon's life.
She takes him out for nightly adven-
tures, frolics in the woods and takes
shy Sheldon to a rock concert. Their
blossoming love for each other is
charming to watch. Not only
is
their
emotional ride enjoyable, but the
physical looks of the robots are
too.
Throughout the film I marveled
over the beauty of the costumes.
These guys aren't built together with
Macbooks, but more like 90s era
Macintosh desktops. These figures
were not lacking in the emotions de-
partment either. Their eyes in par-
ticular were captivating. You can't
write a thousand word description to
match the sorrow they conveyed.
Beyond the looks though, the major
theme that Jonze spotlights in ''I'm
Here" is the question: How far would
you go for your loved ones? You will
see Sheldon is selfless giving up
his
arm to Francesca after losing it at
the concert. I guess the human
equivalent would be donating a kid-
ney or biood.
As
the
film
progresses,
the extremity of the sacrifice is
pushed to the limits. But for Shel-
don, it's an easy decision.
Album Review: Gorillaz surf the ''Plastic Beach"
By
TONY LIBERA
The
Minnesota
Daily
Vanilla Ice once demanded that we
"Stop, collaborate and listen," and
it's obvious that Damon Albarn took
that to heart. When the millennium
came to its lackluster end, Britpop
mania fizzled, but instead of fading
into obscurity, the Blur frontman
maintained relevance by fine-tuning
his Gorillaz concept and reaching out
to other artists. Their previous re-
leases, "Gorillaz'' and "Demon Days,"
had their fair share of collaborators,
but on ''Plastic Beach" Albarn brings
out the big guns - from De La Soul
to Lou Reed.
The album fades in with seagull
cries, swooning strings and elegiac
divergences that wordlessly reveal
Albarn's overarching subject: The
disjunction between nature and
modern life. Considering the playful
superficiality of the Gorillaz project,
Albarn isn't talring
too
strong of a
po-
sition; he's merely attempting to
grill
modernity's cons while still utilizing
its pros.
Brass orchestration dissolves into
''Welcome to the World of the Plastic
Beach," a reintroduction to the puls-
ing beats and trancy pop that Goril-
laz fans know and love. It's also the
beginning of the cameo cavalcade.
His slickness the Snoop D.O. Double
G. kfoks things off, blowing out
plumes of laidback funk and ac-
knowledging that, "it seems like the
world is so hopeless." After the shock
of Snoop's appearance wears off,
we're left to wonder if Albarn' s shot
his load on the second sorig of the
album. Fortunately, the star appear-
ances just get better.
"Sweepstakes" has Mos Def taking
over the mic, pumping out cash-cen-
tric lines in frantic succession. ''Plas-
tic Beach" features both Mick Jones
and Paul Simonon, making it the
first time the two have recorded to-
gether since The Clash disbanded.
As
if the cool-camel's back weren't
already about to break, the leg-
endary Lou Reed offers his graveled
voice on "Some Kind of Nature."
Many artists get criticized for losing
moxie in their old age, but Lou's got
swagger pouring out of his wrinkled,
ape-like features.
It might sound like Albarn is get-
ting lost amid the massive star
power on hand, but in actuality, his
solo tracks are some of the best on
the album. "On Melancholy Hill" no-
tably shows off the singer's puppy-
dog vocals while providing a glimmer
of hope. "You can't get what you
want, but you can get me/f30 let's set
up and seef cause you are my medi-
cine/when you're close to me."
There's a sense of loss permeating
the whole of the album, but it's nice
to know that some form of happiness
still exists in the ''Plastic Beach"
world. 4

from Here We Go
Magic's
sopho-

''Brothers" ( due

''Tighten Up" is a blues treat doused
in Mouse's eclectic influences. The
organ ladened ambiance, tight-
sound drums and ska chord guitar
strums all blend together for one co-
hesive behemoth. Vocalist Dan
Auerbach sings, "I wanted lov~, I
needed love." But, with a jam like
this, what is not to love?
Drake "Shut It

fl
The-

-
"Shut It Down" is the next
offering from Drake's upcoming
''Thank Me Later" debut album.
With a little help from The-Dream,
Drake echoes
R.
Kelly on this track
by capturing a laidback R&B vibe.
.Although he does not live up to his
influences, this is sufficient Drake-
styled baby-making music.
Jonsi "Time to Pretend"
(MGMT Cover) -
If
you are on the
hating side of the polarization ef-
fects of MGMT's latest album "Con-
gratulations,'' then this is the
perfect reminder of the MGMT you
once knew. J6nsi's beautiful adap-
tation transforms the electropop
gem into an intimate piano ballad.
The falsetto alone is enough to war-
rant at least one listen. It's haunt-
ingly powerful.

Who is afraid of a big bad fetish?
By
RACHAEL SHOCKEY
Staff Writer
Before yesterday, I knew virtu-
ally nothing about fetishes. When
someone
says
"fetish,"
I think
"foot" and ''yikes," as feet and fear
are two of very few associations to
fetishes that mainstream society
has let slip. Whenever I hear the
word "fetish" being used, it's ei-
ther in a joking context (i.e. if
someone loves to pile globs of
condiments onto a sandwich, one
might say that person has a may-
onnaise fetish) or when referring
to sociopaths (i.e. "That ax mur-
derer probably has a fetish for the
sight of innocent blood flooding
the streets").
So often we are told to hit the
ground running
if
we encounter a
sexual partner who has a fetish,
that one might equate our soci-
ety's treatment of fetishists to the
people of Salem's treatment of
somewhat suspicious neighbors in
the 17th century.
·
The word itself comes from
French and Portuguese words for
"charm"
and "sorcery," adding
further fuel to the notion of a
fetish being something that ra-
tional human beings cannot ac-
cept or control. All in all, the true
meaning of the elusive fetish
seems to be forcibly kept under
wraps.
Even many people who are in
the know on fetishes often shud-
der at their mention. Live-
Strong.com features an entry on
fetishes in their series of sexual
health articles, in which all types
of fetishes are offensively lumped
together as "psychological disor-
ders." LiveStrong also claims that
most fetishes are "obsessive," and
that therapy is often needed. This
description paints a portrait of
the fetishist as an unsafe, unsta-
ble person incapable of self con-
trol. It's no wonder that we gag at
the phrase "foot fetish" with in-
formation like this being thrown
at us.
The truth is that fetishes are
indeed a form of paraphilia,
which is any condition in which
an individual frequently (if not
always) relies on a certain object,
body part (not one conventionally
associated with sex), image or
memory to achieve sexual arousal
and orgasm. Fetishism itself
deals only with using inanimate
objects for this purpose, but other
paraphilias include acts like talk-
ing dirty, being on camera, exhi-
bitionism and asphyxiation.
Sure, some paraphilias like as-
phyxiation, voyeurism (a.k.a.
peeping toms), pedophilia and
emetophilia (arousal from vomit)
sound like grounds for a horror
film, but I found that there are
plenty of others that I believe to
be extremely run-of-the-mill, like
arousal from talking dirty, porn
or breasts.
Popular fetish objects include
feet (of course), leather, silk, high
heeled
.shoes
and rubber. Some
less predictable ones I found were
hearing aids, pace makers and
my personal favorite, teddy bears.
In
a few cases, fetishists can
get even more creative with their
beloved objects. Viktor Frankl, an
Australian neurologist, once stud-
ied a man who had a fetish that
required the simultaneous use of
frogs and glue. Psychologists are
not entirely sure of the origins of
fetishes, but most believe that
tney stem from childhood experi-
ences with the objects, in which
the objects were pleasant or com-
forting in some way. I think they

would have a difficult time ra-
tionalizing the frogs and glue
fetish with this one, but most oth-
ers sound far from acts of sorcery.

on fetishism
hy.
the
Sinclair Intimacy Institute clari-
fies that, "In the majority of
cases, the person with a fetish
poses no danger to others and
pursues the use of the fetish ob-
ject in private, usually through
masturbation."
Fetishes are beginning to sound
more common by the minute. The
Institute also makes note that
there is a wide spectrum of levels
of reliance on fetish objects, from
people who compulsively depend
on their objects in sexual acts
(these are the people who may de-
cide to seek therapy) to people
who may casually and non-rou-
tinely enjoy using bondage in sex-
ual acts. They can be so mild a
preference that one may not even
realize that one has a fetish. Such
a sexual preference can be as sim-
ple as having a go-to fantasy
while engaging in sexual acts.
The most important thing
to acknowledge is that a
fetishist is not necessarily a
compulsive extremist in rela-
tion to one's fetish. In fact,
you may very well have a
fetish of your own in need of
embracing.

Men's lacrosse prevails
in
¥AA_C overtime
thriller
By MIKE WALSH
Circle Contributor
After losing back-to-back games
against Binghamton and Rutgers,
the Marist men's lacrosse team cap-
tured a much-needed win on Satur-
day in their first MAAC contest of
the season. The Red Foxes defeated
The Virginia Military Institute Key-
dets at Tenney Stadium at Leonid-
off Field on Saturday by
a score of 8-7.
The overtime victory
featured a three goal
performance by senior Matt Teich-
mann, and a game winning goal by
fellow senior Bob von Hoffman.
After playing to a 7-7 tie through
regulation, Marist dominated the
overtime period. The Red Foxes al-
most won directly from the face-off,
but a shot was blocked by VMI goal-
tender Sean McCoy. With 2:51 to go
in the overtime period, von Hoffman
received a Teichmann pass and was
able to fling a shot into the net by
McCoy for the victory. The win
gives Marist a 4-2 record, while the
Keydets fall to 2-6 overall.
Marist drew first blood early in
the first quarter when Teichmann
connected for the first of his three
goals
.
They were then able to open
up a 3-2 lead midway th.rough the
second quarter thanks to back-to-
back goals by rookie Connor Rice.
Teichmann then expanded the lead

by scoring two goals within 31 sec-
onds of each other; giving Marist a
5-2 halftime lead.
VMI responded in the third quar-
ter, scoring three goals and keeping
Marist off the scoreboard. A goal by
Colin Bosse with 46 seconds re-
maining in the quarter tied the
game at five. The goal was Bosse's
second of the quarter.
Bosse led VMI with four goals,
three of them unassisted. VMI was
able to outshoot Marist 33-28 but
thanks to Sam Altiero's efficient
goaltending and senior Matt Fran-
cis's ability to win 11 of 18 face-offs,
Marist was able to pull out a tough
win. The Red Foxes' point leader the
past two seasons, Corey Zindel
added to his team high 23 points by
chipping in two assists.
Zindel was also named MAAC Of-
fensive Player of the Week two
weeks ago for the second time in a
row. He shared the honor with Al-
tiero who was chosen as MAAC De-

March 8.
Though losing starting goalie

shape and get ready for the 'season,'
or what's left of it."
While in California, Marist lost
two dual matches. On Sunday Mar.
14, the Red Foxes fell to Loyola
Marymount 6-1 at the Manhattan
Beach Tennis Club. Marcus von
Nordheim was Marist's lone indi-
vidual winner as he took a sixth sin-
gles victory in three sets.
Von Nordheim defeated Johan
Berhof 6-3, 5-7, 10-4. In addition to
the singles victory, senior Christian
Coley (Glastonbury, Conn.) and
sophomore
Matt
Himmelsbach
(Longmeadow, Mass.) won at second
doubles
.
The pair defeated Renzo
Maggi and Jack Zapala
,
8-1.
The Red Foxes played a second
match on Tuesday Mar. 16 against
Big East opponent Marquette in Los
Angeles, California. Marist again
fell 6-1. Himmelsbach picked up the
only win for the Red Foxes of the
day at fifth singles. He defeated
Jacob Straus in three sets 6-3, 1-6,
7-6 (8-6).
"I was very pleased that we had
three singles
.
players take [singles]
matches to three sets in each dual
match [Loyola Marymount and
Marquette]," Smith said.
At third singles, Pisecky took his
match into a third set before he fell
to Niko Boulieris. The final score
was 3-6, 6-4, 15-13 in the third set
tie break.
Marist dropped to 3-5 in dual
match play, but Smith is confident
that the difficulty of recent oppo-
nents makes the Red Foxes a fa-
vorite to
win the MAAC tournament
for a third consecutive year and ad-
vance to the NCAA Tournament.
Marist will return to the courts on
Thursday, March 25 at 2 p.m., when
it takes on the Rider Broncs in a

MAAC competition. The team cap-
tain has won every MAAC singles
match of his Marist career.
''I'm trying not to think too much
about it and not to put unnecessary
pressure on myself," Sessasgesimi
said. "I really hope I can finish the
season undefeated in MAAC play. I
think it would be a really cool
achievement. But as for now I am
taking match after match and we
will see what happens."

Tennis goes
Westward
ByJIM URSO
Sports Editor
For the eecond consecutive year,
the Marist men's tennis team jour-
neyed westward for a spring break
training trip. The Red Foxes s~ent
the week in Manhattan Beach, Cal-
ifornia at the house of junior Lan-
don Greene.
While in Califor-
nia, the men's
team spent between four to five
hours per day training, and about
every waking moment with each
other.
"It was an excellent training situ-
ation," Marist head coach Tim
Smith said.
The trip serves as cohesion build-
ing experience and helps players'
transition to outdoor play after a
winter of ind~ practices.
''It's pretty fough because we went
from practicing two hours indoors
each day to five hours outdoors in
the heat," senior captain Loic Ses-
sasgesimi said.
''There
are many
factors that we don't have
to
worry
about when we play indoors."

Lacrosse losing continues
By MATT SPILLANE
Editor in Chief
A
hot start to the season has
given way to a cold streak for the
Red Foxes. Following a 2-0 start,
the Marist women's lacrosse team
rosse
has lost its last
four games by a
total of 60-26 and
now sits at 2-4 on the season.
Marist opened the 2010 campaign
with victories over Lafayette and
LeMoyne, but has since dropped
games to Connecticut, Yale, Florida
and Vermont.
''We've kind of forgotten the things
that we're good at," senior mid-
fielder Morgan Dillon said, ''both in-
dividually and as a team."
The Red Foxes' main struggles
have been on the offensive end; they
scored 25 goals
in
their first two
games, but have just 26 goals over

The Marist baseball team com-
peted
in
the Big 5 Tournament
in
Plymouth Meeting, Pa. this past
weekend. The Red Foxes won their
first two matches against Temple
and Villanova respectively, extend-
ing their winning
streak
to
six
games
before
dropping their final contest of the
weekend to St. Joseph's.
''We got some good starts," Marist
head coach Chris Tracz said. ''We
also pitched well out of the bullpen,
but our offensive philosophy stayed
the same. We just started to play
better as a unit."
The six-game winning streak
could not have come at a better time
after Marist opened the season with
a disappointing
3-7
record, and the
squad now sits one game over .500
at
.
9-8.
"Our
recent play has given a lot
more confidence
to
our guys," Traez
said. ''It's always nice

work as
hard as we do and have a positive
