While most internships present stu-
dents with a unique perspective of
their desired field and the chance to
forge connections with other profes-
sionals, rarely do they become a life-
changing experience. On occasions
though, an internship comes that
leads students down a life-changing
road, whether to the job of their
dreams, or in Bill Lyons' case, to
Africa.
Lyons
.
, a senior marketing major at
Marist, spent his summer taking ad-
vantage of a unique internship op-
portunity in Kenya, Africa. Under
the mentorship of his professor,
Dr.
Greg Sand, Lyons worked with
GLOBALTEAM International Mar-
k-eting
Consultants,
hie., in
an effort
to improve the Kenyan distribution
of several Coca-Cola Company
products, including Dasani Water
and Minute Maid Juice through
South African Breweries (SABCO).
For Lyons, the chance to work for
such a good cause, in a unique inter-
national setting, was an opportunity
too good to pass up.
"The opportunity to go was huge
for me, huge for my resume and a
once in a lifetime international expe-
rience," Lyons said. "International
consulting is a great way to see the
world and experience different cul-
tures.
Dr.
Sand teaches his class
through his extensive world travel,
showing us pictures and telling us
stories. I have had him for two se-
mesters and heard enough stories
to
realize that going
to
Kenya with him
would be a very good decision on
my part."
While in Kenya, Lyons' main mis-
sion was to work with the poor,
vul-
nerable citizens of different regions,
including Nairobi. He participated
in an in-field marketing audit of
Kenyan retail outlets, checking on
the distribution of various beverage
brands, the pricing of products and
the availability of merchandising
equipment, including racks, displays
and coolers, often in stores that re-
sembled shakes with dilapidated tin
roofs. Not only did selling the Coca-
Cola products bring pride to the
African people, but the project also
proved to Lyons how beneficial large
companies can be to developing na-
tions.
"Local pec:>ple love Coca-Cola be-
cause of its American image and
they love it because it provides jobs
for some of the poorest people in the
world," Lyons stated. "I remember
standing on the outskirts of a five
million person slum and there was a
coke stand. Big businesses, while
often portrayed to be bad, can be
very helpful to developing countries.
Government in Kenya and in many
emerging nations are riddled with
corruption, but if you look at Coca-
Cola and other big businesses, you
realize that you have companies cre-
ating a variety of different skill level
jobs that will stay for as long the
company does. Probably [for] life."
To culminate his internship, Lyons
prepared a presentation to a sales
team of over 200 personnel from
South African Breweries. With the
help of
Dr.
Sand, Lyons led five
training ses~ions for the comp~ny,
training marketing and sales man-
agers, sales supervisors, sales repre-
sentatives
and
merchandisers,
ensuring that the repercussions of his
internship and time spent in Africa
would benefit the people of Kenya
for years
to
come.
Marist revamps criteria for applicants
By
AMANDA LAVERGNE
News Editor
The SAT/ACT is no longer going
to be a requirement in the admis-
sions process for future students
applying to Marist.
"The whole staff was adamant
about this change and had been
toying with the idea for several
years," Brian Apfel, associate di-
rector of admissions, said.
Apfel said that the SAT/ACT had
always been meant as an indicator
on how students will do in college
but felt that it wasn't fair to "pun-
ish students who were bad test tak-
ers."
"Even though I amjealous of this
new policy, I think that it makes a
lot of sense," senior Lisa Odoardi
said. "There used to be so much
pressure put on the SAT and ACT
when I was applying to schools."
As stated on the Marist website,
Apfel reinstated that they want to
focus more on students' whole
high school experience.
"We want to look at what classes
they took, if they challenged them-
selves by taking AP classes or IB
curriculum," Apfel said. "It's more
impressive to see students who go
above and beyond on a day-to-day
basis rather than how they do on a
four hour test."
Marist first made this announce-
ment to the public at a regional re-
ception on Long Island.
"Both times we have publicly an-
nounced this decision, we received
a standing ovation," Apfel said.

Security Briefs
Foy avoids a blaze, fulton camps out
By
CHRIS RAIA
Staff Writer
Welcome back, Marist. So
much has changed since the end
of last year. The continent of
Europe stole almost half of my
college friend base. The Han-
cock Center went from being a
cardboard
cutout
that
pranksters enjoyed vandalizing
in raunchily hysterical ways to
being a nearly finished building
that could put several castles to
shame. A lot happened ... and
for someone who hates change
(me), this is almost too much to
deal with. But then
I
learned
that over 200 cans of beer were
confiscated from the freshmen
and sophomore residence areas,
and I
breathed a sigh of relief.
Some things never change.

Champagnat
A freshman was spotted vomiting
outside the building and sent to the
hospital. I'm including this story as
a disclaimer: Being sent to the hos-
pital is never funny while it's hap-
pening.
It's ~~rri,fyip.g.
It's
happened to a few of my friends, so
I know how scary it can be. How-
ever, once we know everyone is safe,
It's
fair
game to laugh about it. So
if I ever come off as insensitive or
mean, I do apologize in advance.

Addition of Terminal Road parking spurs anger for students
By
HEATHER STAAlS
Opinion Editor
Well here I am. According to those
horrible countdown clocks I have a
mere 200 something days until
graduation. For the second year, I
reside in what m~ny of us fondly
refer to as ''Middle Fulton" (the area
that isn't New Fulton, but also isn't
up on the hill). Just as last year, I
received a parking sticker for Lot
3
(the Upper West Cedar lot) that
contains two parking lots close to
the Upper West Cedar townhouses,
along with an adjoining lot that
stems closer to the upper Fulton
townhouses. Only this year, I re-
ceived the jarring news that the Lot
3
sticker includes a different park-
ing area - the Terminal Road lot.
Automatically, my response was
one of frustration. Over the past
year I had been stuck parking in the
Terminal Road lot periodically, and
nothing made me angrier than
needing to walk the extra two min-
utes to my front door. I lived in Ful-
ton (gosh darn it!) therefore, I
should be able to park closest to Ful-
ton. Even when that lot was sepa-
rate from the Fulton and Upper
West Cedar lots, I found it difficult
to park close to my house. Now that
the lots are one in the same, I'm
worried that the problem will mul-
tiply
.
Last year, the Terminal Road lot
was assigned the number seven and
it housed juniors at the low end of
the credit spectrum. Many of these
students disliked the area, and I
know I always had a mini connip-
tion whenever I needed to park in
that area because the rest of the
spots in Lot
3
were taken
.
John
Gildard
,
director of safety and secu-
rity, explained that many other stu-
dents complained that while they
were assigned a Lot
7
sticker, Lot
3
(which was closer to their resi-
dences) had many available spots.
"Some people who register for
parking don't end up bringing their
car," Gildard said. "We were wind-
ing up with empty spaces in Lot
3
and therefore more people from Lot
7
would park in Lot
3
and get tick-
eted. Those students were angry
that they were being ticketed for
parking iii a space that wouldn't
end up being used by a Lot
3
permit
holder."
To alleviate the runaround of reg-
istering and reregistering vehicles
when openings arose, the Office of
Safety and Security decided to
merge Lot
7
with Lot
3
this year.
But Gildard cited other reasons why
his office felt this was the best solu-
tion.
"It encourages people not to drive
to the west side of campus to their
classes or to the McCann Center,"
Gildard said. "They shouldn't be
parking in those lots anyway, so
this encourages people to follow the
parking rules so they don't lose
their space
and
end up far away."
Senior Chris Traina, who is a fel-
low second-year Fulton resident,
does not find this logic sound.
"If I bring my car to campus I
should be able to go to the grocery

"Otherwise, you

.
"
I find myself siding with Traina on
this aspect of the change. It's true
that some students on the east side
of campus like to drive to the main
campus, but more often than not,
we are travelling to destinations off
campus. That's the whole point of
having a car at your disposal. But
there's more at stake than sheer
convenience.
Christina Keavaney, a senior,
avoids moving her car because she
hates the idea of needing to park in
the Terminal Road lot.
"It looks like a junkyard, not a
parking lot," Keavaney said. "It
doesn't fit in with the other lots on
campus and that makes me feel un-
easy."
Kate McGann, another senior,
also finds it discomforting to park in
the Terminal Road lot.
"I just got
a
job as a bartender
which means that my shifts don't
end until
3
a.m. or
4
a.m.," McGann
said. "And when I come home that
late, there isn't a security car in
that lot. It makes me want to park
further away in Beck
because
Tenni-
nal makes me
that
uncomfortable."

Expansion of Lot
3
fuels student complaints
From Page 3
Gildard responded to this by
suggesting that students use
SNAP.
"It is a college lot patrolled by
security," Gildard said. "SNAP is
also available as well as security
escorts
if
SNAP is unavailable."
But will students take that
option?
''I
don't think people will call
them," senior Kelly Gallucci said.
''I
hate walking back from there
.
at
night, but at least then I wouldn't
be waiting by myself in a dark
parking lot for SNAP or security
to
show up."
Parking in Lot 3, as with all
other student lots, is available on a
first come - first serve basis. I
wonder if things wouldn't be better
for all students if we were
assigned individual parking spots.
When I spoke with Gildard, he
reminded me that students do not
pay for parking and that nobody
has ever been turned away for a
parking sticker. According to
northeastern.edu, students at
Northeastern University in Boston
pay as much as $775 per semester
(a total of over $1500 per year) for
round-the-clock parking.
Perhaps if we paid for parking it
would be more feasible for security
to assign us individual parking
spots that guaranteed us the same
spot daily. However, the responsi-
bility of towing cars is a daunting
prospect for security when they
have so many other responsibili-
ties as well.
Our parking system certainly
seems imperfect. However, I feel
that the pros outweigh the cons.
Permits are free and given out by
seniority - not priority points like
housing. Everyone above freshman
standing is given the opportunity
to have a spot on campus. That
spot may or may not be conve-
niently right outside your door.
The downside is a lot
·
like
Terminal Road. Marist needs to
address the issues that students
have with the lot.
If
it were fully
paved, well-lit, and constantly
patrolled at night, I know I would
feel more at ease parking there.
However I recognize that the
option is there for me to call
S.N.A.P. or security
if
I do find
myself feeling unsafe.
In technical terms, Lot 3 houses
four parking areas - two immedi-
ately surrounding the Upper West
Cedar townhouses, one in close
proximity to the Fulton residents
and the Terminal Road lot. In
other words, there should be plen-
ty of space for everyone. So why is
it that already some of us have
needed to park in the Beck Place
parking lot at the bottom of the
hill? Because we, the students,
aren't being responsible enough.
If
you have a friend visiting from
their off-campus house or from out
of town, ask them to park in the
Beck Place parking lot. Try to
recall a time when you have driven
around in circles cursing all of the
cars without Lot 3 permits on
them. In the end we all need to do
our best to meet each other
halfway. We as students need to
obey the parking restrictions.
Security must also enforce those
rules for everyone and do their
best to patrol the Terminal Road
lot at night. It may be a flawed
system, but I think I'd rather park
a little further from my door than
shell out an extra $1500 for a
prime spot.
Put your creativity and passion to use.

Talking Tarot: let the Cha
-
riot pull and go forth
By
JENNIFER
MEYERS
Features Editor
So here we are again at Marist
College. We are all entering into
a state of shock, wondering where
the time went. ()ollege is a place
where you test your individuality
and face what you fear the most.
What most of us call the "real
world
,;
" takes over at the end of
oollege, but comes into our lives
as a freshman. The "real world"
starts here, today, in the present
reality.
The Chariot signifies us turning
away from our past and from our
confinement of childhood, to pre-
pare ourselves to venture into the
world of college to prove that we
are ready for_ the future. To be
prepared for such an adventure,
we must be courageous and we
must purposefully charge our-
selves into the challenges that are
set in our way for
.
advancement.
The Chariot's number seven, sig-
nifies just that; advancement.
As we leave the comfort of our
home, we bring with us parting
gifts from our loved ones. These
parting gifts symbolize the love
that our family has for us.
It
is
not only difficult for us to leave
the flock, but for our parents to
see us soar into adulthood. We
see the Chariot's rider holding the
Magician's wand which shows the
rider's ambition and power to
manifest what he wants the most
out of this life journey. The two
sphinx-like creatures represents
the polar opposites within our-
selves that will ultimately pull
the chariot in the right direction.
They serve as our protection
and our conscious self to make
sure that our ego does not get in-
volved when making decisions.
The very idea th~t we are finally
on our own can often lead to zeal-
ous behavior, which then conflicts
with our ego. Those who are in
the path of our chariot get tram-
pled along the way. This can also
be caused by the fact that we are
afraid of being on our own.
Notice the invisible reins that
are controlled not by us, but by a
higher authority. This could be a
professor that we become close to
and that will help us achieve
what we want most. These pro-
fessors can help us to move be-
yond
our
ego-driven selves to see
the
bigger
picture that

and understand that your ambi-
tion and self awareness that col-
lege is where you want to be is the

path to college in the understand-
ing that this experience will lead
to a better life. Rather than wait-
ing for things to get better, just
say "screw it" and let the chariot
pull full force into what your life

Students run ESL program for staff
By
GAIL GOLDSMITH
Web Editor
Marist's English as a Second Lan-
guage
(ESL)
program
offers both
student tutors and the college em-
ployees they teach the opportunity
to expand their language skills.
Eight
volunteers tutor 10 college
employees, who speak Spanish and
Chinese as their first language.
Started by Cassandra Rosado,
class of 2010, the program was de-
signed to help students and college
employees enjoy
an
integrated and
mutually
beneficial
learning expe-
rience interaction.
The student-run program
now
op-
erates under the
umbrella
of Cam-
pus Ministry's Community Service
program. Emily Fiore, a senior
Spanish major and public praxis
minor, is using the program as the
required capping project for the
praxis minor.
"
The ESL program also comple-
ments the work of the Department
of Modern Languages and Cul-
tures, which offers French and
Spanish majors and minors, along
with a Bilingual Education Con-
centration.
Jamey Morrow-Polio, who began
coordinating the ESL program
after Rosado graduated, stated that
the program is not only tailored to
the learning needs of participants,
but also their personal needs.
"We're all about no-questions-
asked,"
Morrow-Polio
said.
"Lessons are private, so there's no
concern
for embarrassment. We
recognize that some people
can
be
a little sensitive about that
process.
We.respect
that."
Sam Young, a junior psychology

"You don't always see that, even in
college classes. The participants
are really thankful-this is stuff

'Jersey Shore' brings the heat to Miami
FROM JAUNTB>.COM
Snook!, Pauly D, JWoww, and the rest of the gang

In Miami for the second sea-
son of MTV's popular hit show • Jersey Shore."
By

Circle Contributor
GTL, creepin' and fist pumping
came back
in
full swing this summer
for the second season of "Jersey
Shore" (Miami Edition). After last
season's bar fights, romances and
lack thereof, many of us had high
hopes for this season of '.'Jersey
Shore."
The first episode started the sum-
mer off with promises of in-house
hookups, girl fights and trouble in
paradise for Ronnie and Sammi. Fol-
lowing episodes showed the unleash-
ing of "single Ronnie" and created a
relatively solid storyline for the rest
of the season, featuring Ronnie mak-
ing a fool of himself night after night
and Sammi accepting him back.

There are two reasons girls watch
award shows: one, to see their fa-
vorite man all dressed up in the so
sexy tux and two, to ogle at all the
amazing jewels, dresses and acces-
sories that are standing next to the
eye candy. So don't worry
if
you for-
got to tune in ladies, we've got all
the fashion and eye candy here. No
worries though it won't be a as long
as Heidi Klum's legs, were making
this short, sweet, and skank-free!

several episodes, things got interest-
ing when JW oww and Snooki de-
cided to confess all they know about
Ronnie's past to Sammi. Fearful of
losing their friendship with Ronnie,
doin
_
g this face to face was beyond
what the girls were ready for. The
girls decide to write Sammi an
anonymous letter exposing all of sin-
gle Ronnie's
dirty
laundry. Sammi
did not wait long to get over her
anger toward Ronnie and claim that
she was still in love with
him despite
all that he had done to her.
While this drama continues be-
tween Ronnie and Sammi, there has
been a breakup between Snooki and
her boyfriend from home, as well as
a few sleepovers with her and Vinny.
Rumors tell us that Vinny will be
with another member of the house
(Angelina) in coming weeks which is
sure to spark a girl fight between
Angelina and Snooki.
It would be impossible to discuss
this
·
season of"Jersey Shore" without
bringing up the most recent episode
and brawl between JWoww and
Sammi. After Sammi finds out that
Snooki and JWoww wrote the anony-
mous letter, Sammi becomes cold
and passive-aggressive towards the
two of them. She refuses to help
make the girls' dinner that she sug-
gested, and doesn't eat any of the
meal that JW oww and Snooki put to-
gether. With tension in the house, it
was only a matter of time before
something happened between the
girls. Angelina started the fight by
saying that JWoww was bad-
mouthing Ronnie on the phone to
her boyfriend and Angelina denies
ever saying anything when JWoww
and Vinny confront her about it.
Somewhere out of this, Sammi gets.
involved and next thing you know
words are said, JWoww is in
Sammi's face and then the first blow
comes from Jwoww to Sammi. Now
hair extensions are flying and nails
are ripped off, and the episode ends.
This episode brought over 6 million
viewers, and with the ending prom-
ising more fighting to come next
week, even more viewers are ex-
pect~d this Thurs~
Even though this show has gained
a lot of media attention for its nega-
tive portrayal of Jersey and the Ital-
ian-American community, it has
continued to steal the hearts of many
teenagers for two seasons. The show
is mindlessly entertaining and a
good excuse to stay in on a Thursday
night rather than watch all of the
creepin' going on out on the town.

Any new Kanye West song-
Love him or hate him in the post-
Taylor Swift VMA incident era, the
fact of the matter is Kanye West
creates good music. "Power," his
comeback single samples King
Crimson and echoes the fiery pas-
sion West showed on previous clas-
sics like "Jesus Walks" and "Can't
Tell Me Nothing." West took the
track to the next level by teaming
up with Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz to
record an unorthodoxremix. The re-
vised power trip contains new
verses and samples including an in-
genious use of Snap's '1've Got the
Power." But that's not enough for
Mr. West, he announced on Twitter
that every Friday until Christmas
he will release a new track as part
of the series he calls G.O.O.D. Fri-
day (in reference to West's record
label, G.O.O.D. Music.) So far, West
joined up with Raekwon (Wu Tang
Clan) to release a Justin Beiber
remix, released an epic rapfest
called ''Monster" featuring Jay-Z,
.J.usti.n Vernon of &n Iver, Rick
Ross, and Nicki Minaj, and not to
mention releasing the uplifting "See
Me Now" with Beyonce and Charlie
Wilson. West playfully pokes fun at
himself in the latter track. (''Uncle
Charlie by the way / And I'mma let
you finish but I got Beyonce on the
track.) His latest G.O.O.D. treat,
''Devil in a New Dress," is an old-
school Kanye soul-sampling jam.
His (still) untitled album is set to
drop on Nov. 16.
Linkin~am'Wretchesand~'-
''Wretches and Kings" marches with
Nine Inch Nails industrial angst
and side steps with hip-hop swag-
ger. Mike Shinoda drops Public
Enemy references and Chester Ben-
nington comes in for a screeching
chorus. This track, along with their
first single ''The Catalyst," suggests
a more industrial-sounding Linkin
Park compared to their previous
album ''Minutes to Midnight."
If
anything, this album will be worth
checking to experience other adven-
turous sounds that come out of the
album.
Cee Lo Green "F-lntrk You"
-The
viral hit from Cee Lo Green is the
compiete opposite of the angsty, at-
tention-grabbing, vulgar title. The
song is a 60s flavored soul pop gem
complete with soaring choir backing
vocals. The song rose in popularity
after the release of the "unofficial''
video that depicts animations of the
comical lyrics of the song. The whole
package
is
light-hearted and cathar-
tic. It's an F-bomb fueled by peace,
love, and positive energy. That's
something we all need.

Gleek glam needs standing
ovation
Diana Agron went for the
fairy
tale
princess
look,
wearing a Car-
olina Herrera gown and an up-do
done right. The gown was
elegant
with a mix of pale pink and black
lace, patterns down the dress, and a
black ribbon to tie it all
together.
The dress is possibly too old fash-
ioned for this young star, but she
looked
unique without being over-
the-top.
Lea Michele, the 24-year-old
"Glee"
star, looked stunning at the
Emmy Awards. Her fitted mermaid
style sweetheart-top dress made my
mouth drop. Michele's character on
"Glee"
never falls short so it was no
surprise to see her be anything but
modest. Her hair could have been
styled more for such a special event,
but with the touch of sparkle on her
neck she certainly stole the spot-
light from the "Glee" cast just as she
does on the show. Own it girl, Kim
K. should be flattered to use your
compact!
Jane Lynch, winner of Supporting
Actress in a Comedy Series for her
role in "Glee," looked beautiful
wearing the one-shouldered trend of
the night. The hilarious actress'
purple Ali Rahimi gown was no
joke. The dress was gorgeous yet not
too over the top. Not to mention her
skin was glowing.

Her wardrobe on
"Glee"
suites her
adorable look, but it was nice to see
the uptight character go out of her
comfort zone and let her hair down
(the right way).
For the best dressed man, I would
have to say
it
was Neil Patrick Har-
ris. The confident actor,
singer
and
magician can now add trendsetter
to his resume. He always struts his
stuff, but I really loved the sharp
gray tux with the partial black
lapel. The Calvin Klein suit has a
modern twist while keeping it clas-
sic.
Oh, and did I mention the cutie
snagged the award for guest actor in
a comedy series for "Glee" and for
hosting the Tony Awards. Neil even
has a chance at a third Emmy this
year where he's nominated for Out-
standing Supporting Actor in a
Comedy for
"How

Other Fashionable Gleeks:
Heather Morris rocked a metallic
gold column dress from Ina Soltani.
Cory Monteith wore a Giorgio Ar-

with a silk black tie and a simple
classic white dress shirt.
Vampire

The "Vampire Diaries" star Nina
Dobrev killed it at the Emmy's. Not
only did she get the up-do right, but
her makeup was soft yet striking.
Her hair wasn't too stiff or overdone
and her champagne one shoulder

the red carpet. This gown was per-

Up do's
and don'ts
The girl that is always runway
ready should have made a quick
runaway to fix that hair! I am a
huge Kim Kardashian fan but her
soft up-do was a slight disaster. We
all know Kardashian isn't known
for having a soft look; the gorgeous
reality TV star is rarely seen with-
out makeup or hair perfectly styled.
However, when it came time for
Kardashian to step it up at the
Emmy Awards, it was a slight fail.
Obviously she was trying to go for
the Greek goddess look, but her hair
made her look like a slob! Her up-do
was a bit bumpy on top and ap-
peared too stiff. Kim's hair is always
absolutely gorgeous and would have
looked better
if
she used less hair-
spray and not pulled it back so
tight. On a better note, her white
Grecian Marchesa gown was so-
phisticated and chic. I usually like
Kim in more fitted gowns but this
dress was
something
worth keeping
up with.
Always Accessorize
Stealing the accessories of the
stars is much easier than it looks. I
drooled over Heidi Klum's Lorraine
Schwartz crystal bib necklace
.
Un-
fortunately, we can't afford the real
deal but the Mod Cloth version is
just as stunning. For $45, you will
shine like a star!
Kim Kardashian's cute and ele-
gant Lorraine Schwartz cuff can be
mimicked by a simple $8 cuff from
Girl Pops. You don't have to be all
dressed up to don this piece. It can
literally ~ake you from jeans and a
tee to night out. Nice pick Kim
K.
As
for the cutest hair accessory on
the red carpet Kerry Russell wore a
huge (but not over barring) white
flower in her doo. Not only does it
add such a chic and simple touch
but it can be rocked from classroom
to cocktails. You can pick up our

'Going the Distance,' the best romantic comedy of the year
By JOSIE JONES
The
Daily Iowan
I'll admit it: I've never really un-
derstood the point of relationships.
And long-distance relationships -
ha, they don't stand a chance. So it's
no
surprise
that when I started to
watch
"Going
the Distance," I was a
bit skeptical.
I expected an unrealistic plot and
lovey-dovey moments that would
make my eyes roll. But after 97
min-
utes,
I wanted more
-
more bar
trivia, more soundtrack music, more
airports, more love.
"Going
the Dis-
tance" may be the best romantic
comedy of the year, because it por-
tra)'I$
an actual relationship and,
simply put,
is
hilarious.
The film follows the story of Erin
(Drew Barrymore} and Garrett
(Justin Long) as they attempt to cre-
ate a meaningful and lasting long-
distance
relationship.
The two meet at a Centipede video-
game machine in a bar. After a
hookup DJ'd by Garrett's roommate,
Erin and Garrett start a fun, flirty
relationship. The catch: Erin's sum-
mer internship in New York ends in
six weeks, and she will soon move
back to finish graduate school in San
Francisco. After an awkward car ride
and a gushy love scene in the airport,
Erin and Garrett vow to make their
relationship work.
With Garrett in New York City and
Erin in San Francisco, the couple
struggle with sexual urges, physical
dependency, and the differing time
zones. Visiting each other every
three months just isn't enough, and
their tiltle together is complicated
thanks to
'
Erin's sister, Corrine
(Christina Applegate) and Garrett's
roommate Box (Jason Sudeikis).
But that's the beauty of the story-
it's actually realistic. Both Erin and
Garrett struggle with their jobs,
something a majority of Americans
are experiencing. They both have
busy schedules, so finding time for
each other is difficult. Living across
the country from each other makes
talking even more difficult because
of the time differences and being
there to support one another is a bat-
tle in itself.
Sure, there are a few scenes that
make you shake your head in disap-
proval. But what do you expect? It's
a romantic comedy, after all. No ac-
tual man is going to fly thousands of
miles to surprise his girlfriend at
work with roses. No actual man is
going to tell his girlfriend exactly
what it is he wants. No smart
woman is going to pass up an awe-
some job opportunity to move in with
her boyfriend. But who knows,
maybe I'm just cynical.
But the real reason "Going the Dis-
tance" is successful
is
because it's hi-
larious. I don't remember the last
time I actually laughed out loud at a
romantic comedy. Be warned -
it is somewhat vulgar, but it works.
The jokes are created mostly by the
supporting actors in the film. Box
continually comments on Erin and
Garrett's conversation through the
bedroom walls. Corrine makes her
daughter play statue when she
wants her to be quiet and views
dry
humping as the most serious part of
her marriage.
Maybe it's the reality of Garrett
and Erin's situation or the comedy in
the film, but either way, Going the
Distance wins audiences over. The
movie gives you the feeling as
if
any-
thing is possible. And everyone can
use a little hope once in a while.

Rolling right along with a Hudson Valley railway getaway

At a mere 100-or-so minutes, the
Metro-North
train
ride to Manhattan
allows ample opportunity to snag a
quick catnap. But in speeding right
along, riders miss some of the best gems
that our Hudson Valley
has
to offer.
Why not stop and explore? One look out
your train-car window and you'll un-
derstand why it's not about the desti-
nation, but the journey.
Poughkeepsie: Get movin'
Riders -
commuters and vagabonds

board with backpacks and
briefcases at the Poughkeepsie train
station. Leaving hourly, the line keeps a
convenient schedule for the day trip-

The highlight of this sidestep, however,
comes in the

of a boat tour launch-
ing from the Beacon landing to the in-
famous Bannerman's Castle situated
on Pollepel Island. Recognizable to any
Marist intern heading to their 9-5 in the
city, this crumbling edifice
has
survived
centuries of haunted folklore and a
short stint
as
an ammunitions storage
facility. Accessible solely by boat for a
small portion of the year, Hudson River
Adventures offers a guided tour and
history of the lonely castle on the water.

Bull Head Trail on Mt. Taurus. From
the top, hikers can see for miles around
with Breakneck Ridge, the Shawan-
gunks, and the Catskills sitting majes-
tically off in the distance. For you water
bugs, Hudson Valley Outfitters now
offer paddleboard and kayak excursions
and instruction.

Sexual Healing: Healthy, savvy sex at Mari.st
By
RACHAEL SHOCKEY
Staff
Writer
Welcome to (or back to) Marist!
As
you plunge into the college social
scene, there's a solid chance that you'll
be looking to have sex, whichever way
you choose to go about it. By now, you
may be aware of the basics -
wrap it
up, stimulate the clitoris, lube is your
friend, the pull-out method never, ever
\VOrks, etc. But who ever said that
one's undergrad years are for just
sticking to the basics? The only three
constants you should uphold in your
sex life are practicing safety, respect-
ing yourself and your partner (or just
yourself) and helping yourself achieve
that big
0.
Be safe:
I learnedthere are more sexual
health resources in the area than
meets the eye. Marist's Health and
Wellness Center provides STI testing
and women's health screenings, and
they can write prescriptions to be filled
at local pharmacies. They can also ad-
minister vaccines, but you must first
get a prescription for it from an outside
physician.
The only three constants you
should uphold in your sex life
are practicing safety, respect-
Ing yourself and your partner ...
and helping yourself achieve
that big 0.
Be
smart:
For full-service sexual health as-
sistance, Planned Parenthood is but a
five minute drive from campus.
Lo-
cated at 17 Noxon St., the center sees
walk-ins from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on
Mondays. Their walk-in services in-
clude STI and HIV tests, pregnancy
tests, Depo-Provera shots,
HPV
vac-
cines and UTI tests. They also conduct
abortions, "well woman visits" (pap
tests and the like) and men's health
screenings. Emergency contraception
is
alwa.ys available at Planned Par-
enthood, along with pretty much any
other sperm-blocker you can think of.
"We offer every method of contracep-
tion approved by the FDA," said Anne
Matsui, vice president of external af-
fairs. 'The only thing we don't do is
sterilization." Planned Parenthood
charges for contraceptives and other
services based
on
individual income.
Few places are quite as caring and ac-
commodating.
Have
fun:
Aforementioned constants aside,
there's no better place to find n~w
frontiers in Poughkeepsie than at Gig-
gles, an adult toy store in Hyde Park.
Everything about this store
is
impres-
sive: its size, its array of products, the
employees' friendliness and its cleanli-
ness (that last one is rare; how many
times have you seen an "Adult Outlet"
sign on a highway right above what
looks like a moldy doghouse?). Laura
Cerchia, a Giggles employee,
is
more
than happy to talk to customers about
the products and offer advice. 'There
really is something in here for every-
one," she said. ''No one will come in
this store and not like at least one
thing."
There are hundreds of novelties in
there that vibrate, tingle, moan and
taste like strawberries. In particular,
the store has wide selections of vibra-
tors and costumes. When I checked
out the costumes, I saw plenty of
skimpy frocks designed for women. I
was getting worried by the one-sided-
ness until Cerchia pointed out another
wall stocked with ample silk briefs and
man thongs.
Three
cheers for equality!
In
addition to their vibrators and
dildos, Cerchia suggests that sex toy
amateurs check out their movies and
their fun massage oils to aid in sexual
exploration. For those who appreciate
the world of sex but aren't planning
any salacious evenings soon, she rec-
ommends their section of naughty
party supplies. No matter who you
are, it's impossible not to enjoy an
oversized, boob-shaped cake and penis
pasta.
Before I reluctantly left the store,
Cerchia quoted the Giggles motto, one
that I think we should all propose to
any potential sex partner: "Have an
open mind, and
if
you don't, don't come
.
"
lil.
Here's to hoping that you'll approach
the new year with the missions of both
Giggles and Planned Parenthood in
mind: open up to new sexual experi-
ences, while still respecting and wor-
shipping your body. Now, go have
some good, clean fun.

fi.xins for a fabulous face
By
DAYNA VASIUK
Circle Contributor
Do you have a craving for gorgeous
skin? Of course you do! Spas and sa-
lons offer facials that make your
skin softer, reduce acne, make pores
appear smaller, get rid of black-
heads and more. Unfortunately,
these expensive facials can dry up
your wallet. Some treatments even
suggest that it takes more than one
facial to see the best results. How-
ever, for you college students on a
budget, you will be pleased to know
that you can dig into some satisfy-
ing facial results -
right from your
kitchen.
Cheers to a fresh face!
People who have normal or oily
skin should try the champagne
trick. The fermentation of the
grapes in the champagne helps fight
free radicals and the tartaric acid
helps lighten skin and even out skin
tone. The bubbles in the cham-
pagne help constrict pores to give
your skin a gorgeous glow. The car-
bon dioxide in champagne helps to
detoxify the skin as well. While you
may be nervous to use champagne
because of the alcohol content, most
toners actually have up to 60 per-
cent alcohol; meanwhile champagne
contains only
14
percent. Often,
skincare products use alcohol that
your body can't break down. So,
when the party is done and your
friends have packed up, dab a little
of that leftover champagne onto a
cotton ball and give your face a
party of its own.
When
life
gives
you
lemons
...
Lemons have enzymes that
cleanse the skin. Putting just a lit-
tle bit of lemon juice on your face or
mixed into a homemade facial
helps
tone your skin. Lemon juice is a
wonderful way to help fade discol-
oration and reduce the appearance
of acne scars. Although the juice
isn't a miracle quick fix, it's a juicy
way to cut yourself a slice of inex-
pensive beauty.
Sweet like honey
Honey can be used head to toe.
This miracle goo will make you grin
from ear to ear after it
makes
hair
shiny, treats acne, prevents aging,
heals wounds, prevents infections,
cures athlete's foot and reduces
swelling.
Honey
contains a sub-
stance called glucose oxidase: when
combined with water and oxygen,
glucose oxidase forms gluconic acid
and hydrogen peroxide, the very
same stuff you probably have in
your beauty cabinet right now. Glu-
cose oxidase is in many popular
brands such as, Burt's Bees, Ba-
nana Boat, Origins Organics and
Prairie Naturals.
Using honey is absolutely safe for
all skin types. Honey is a sweet
remedy for skin blemishes and acne
scars because the honey actually
kills bacteria deep in your skin. This
natural anti-microbial treatment
has antioxidants that make your
skin appear silky smooth. The an-
tioxidants honey contains helps to
prevent wrinkles and fine lines. The
results will leave you with a major
sugar rush of
delight!
Honey has enzymes that are
proven to heal the skin and make it
appear softer and smoother. Put-
ting on a honey mask for 10 minutes
before bed can help chapped
dry
skin. Skip the expensive facial and
create your own mask by mixing a
crushed uncoated aspirin and a
spoonful of honey. The salicylic acid
in the aspirin helps remove dead
skin, clean out pores, and reduces
oil, while the honey still keeps your
skin moisturized.
Besides
sprucing up your com-
plexion, honey also acts as a medic-
inal remedy. Now, athletes aren't
the only ones that can get athlete's
foot. This fungus is caused by
sweaty feet and moist shower floors.
At bedtime soak a cotton ball with
honey and place them in between
your infected toes ahd cover your
feet with socks. This trick is known
for reducing redness and itching in
less than 10 days. Though it might
not seem ideal to sleep with this
gooey syrup in between your toes,
look on the bright side: after doing
this treatment for a week you can
treat yourself to a nice fungus-free
pedicure.
So
next time you are hankering for
a little pick-me-up, look no further
than your mini fridge... you may
just find your next beauty cure-all.
Month-long digital dieter forgoes Facebook
By
CHRISTINA O'SULLIVAN
Circle Contributor
Last night I dreamt I was Face-
book chatting a friend about our
Art of Film homework. Of all the
crazy and amazing scenarios my
subconscious could have conjured
up - such as fighting a dragon, fly-
ing over green valleys, making
out with Brad Pitt - my dream
consisted of sitting at a computer,
scanning through a website.
This sad example of the pas-
sivity, hesitancy and ultimate
mundane nature that is charac-
teristic of the Facebook genera-
tion is leading me to make a
decision that some may call in-
sane.
That's right: by the time this
article is in print, I will have
deleted my Facebook.
Not permanently; just for one
month. It'll be a cleansing of the
mind after four years of moderate
Facebook usage.
If I like my new
life, I'll keep it deleted. I've been
toying with this idea for a long
time. Why? Simply because I
think that Facebook's whole mis-
sion to connect people has led us
to become more socially askew
than ever.
We are so awkward. We click
through random stranger's pages,
learn random information about
them, and act totally surprised
when we meet them in real life.
We debate if a status is,appropri-
ate to "like" and if a friend would
be upset to be cut out of a profile
picture. We judge people based on
their favorite TV shows and books
before we get to know them, be-
fore we even meet them.
I don't want to do it anymore.
I want to remember that the
choice to have a Facebook is just
that: a choice. Yes, this might not

be the most opportune time to
delete my connection to the rest of
the world, considering five of my
closest friends are 3,000 miles
away in London, Florence and
Madrid. But we will still have
Skype. And the telephone. And old
fashioned letters. I suppose in my
Facebook-free life I might not be
able to read my freshman year
roomma:te's
statuses
about
Michelangelo's David and the best
flavor of gelato. But maybe she
will write me, in her slanty, al-
most cursive-like hap.dwriting, a
silly poem about pasta that I can
hang above my desk.
Maybe I will lose touch with a
few hundred acquaintances who I
don't see regularly at Marist;
camp friends, junior varsity vol-
leyball teammates who I don't
talk to over the phone or have the
patience to write letters to. But
maybe that's okay. Maybe the
majority of my
731
Facebook
friends don't really matter.
Am I heartless? Possibly. I
just know that my best friends
mean the world to me and com-
municating with them some way
is very important, but everyone
else ... well, I hope everyone is
doing well. But, at the end of the
day, perhaps I don't really care.
So adios, Facebook! I am de-
voting this month to reading
books for fun, biking by the river,
and writing letters to my loved
ones. My life and my dreams will
be
100
percent Facebook free.
Suck it, Mark Zuckerberg.

More stringent social media policy needed
ByJIM URSO
Sports Editor
It's no secret that social network-
ing sites are changing the way peo-
ple acquire and share information
.
More than 4,200 students on our
campus are equipped with comput
-
ers and familiar with the culture of
electronic self-presentation that has
developed throughout the Internet
boom. While many perceive the
young demographic to be experts in
web 2.0 technologies, most commu-
nication scholars would attest that
youth
and social
networking
prowess don't equate.
Student-athletes represent their
institutions in a more visible de-
gree, making their use of social net-
working sites even more dangerous
to the reputation of an organization.
With the high visibility of its ath-
letes, The Marist Athletic Depart-
ment has a unique opportunity to
serve as a jumping off point for ef-
fective use of social media policy
throughout this institution. How-
ever, to do so, they must develop a
more stringent and transparent so-
cial media policy. Currently,, many
student-athletes are posting ques-
tionable comments that reflect
poorly on the college. For instance,
if you are one of point guard Devin
Price's nearly 300 followers, you can
read his 140-character testimonial
§,,
many of which include disparaging
language
.
At the beginning of the
year, athletes are required to attend
National-Collegiate-Athletic-
Associaton (NCAA) meetings. In
these meetings, athletic adminis-
trators brief student-athletes on
regulations for different topics in-
cluding social media. Price attended
his NCAA meeting, but according to
Twitter, the meeting wasn't too in-
teresting
"At this NCAA meeting hopefully
this shit go by fast cuz I'm tryna go
to bef," Price said via Twitter
@Devin__Price on Sept. 1 at 9:45 p.m.
Maybe Price should pay more at-
tention. Earlier this summer, he re-
ported his dejection for having to
return to Marist via Twitter. Soon
after, he apologized for his tweet.
However, explicit language contin-
ues to appear on his Twitter feed.
Just minutes before tweeting about
his NCAA meeting, Price mentioned
his dissatisfaction with the Marist
cafeteria food in an expletive man-
ner. "Hungry as fucc n this caf aint
got shit nit," Price said at 9:17 p.m.
Price
'
s Twitter profile design is a
picture of himself in a Marist uni-
form, running the point in the Mc-
Cann Center. Sophomore forward
Dorvell Carter also routinely in-
cludes profanity with racial over-
tones and derogatory comments
about women in his tweets.
Price is not the only athlete post-
ing inappropriate comments on
Twitter. After a staff member from
The Circle read comments from
women's basketball transfer Kris-
ten Danella, they mentioned the re-
marks to the Marist Sports
Information Department. Soon
after, Danella removed this staff
member as a follower.
These are just a few examples of a
problem that every organization is
facing. At the heart of this issue is a
growing conflict within intercolle-
giate sports about the free speech
rights of athletes versus the abiµty
of higher education institutions to
preserve their reputation. Now,
many college athletic programs are
instituting public social media poli-
cies, and Marist may soon need to
follow suit.
''Many schools completely ban the
sites," Marist Sports Information
Director Mike Ferraro said. "How-
ev~r, we are an institution of higher
learning,
a
place where you learn
how to become an adult, how to han-
dle situations and how to be respon-
sible. Taking away these sites
doesn't help in that process." With
the exploding popularity of Twitter
and Facebook, Ferraro has recog-
nized a change in the nature of his
job description over the past two
years.
"You can't monitor everything that
happens 24 hours a day, seven days
a week," Ferraro said.
Recently, his central _priority in
NCAA meetings has shifted to so-
cial media
.
At meetings, athletes
are required to sign a form saying
they are responsible for content on
their page.
The veteran SID describes the
"evolutionary process" of under-
standing the ramifications of poor
social media use and the difficulties
in curtailing it.
"We want everyone to be vigilant
here," Ferraro said.
"If
it does hap-
pen, we recognize it, flush it out and
deal with."
However, with social media being
a relatively new phenomenon, the
monitoring process is difficult; and
the consequences for student
-
ath-
letes who post unfavorable remarks
and photos are often ambiguous and
relative to each team and case.
Ferraro wouldn't comment on the
individual disciplinary measures of
any Marist student-athlete.
''Those are private conversations,
and they need to stay that way,"
Ferraro said. "Each case is differ-
ent."
FerJ'aro did confum that deroga-
tory language, messages with racial
overtones, and posting content
detrimental to members of the or-
ganization or the organization as a
whole is frowned upon. No official
guidelines have been established by
the MAAC or the Marist Athletic
Department. When asked about the
process on the men's basketball
team, Martin confirmed Marist's in-
house approach.
''We have our own internal rules
on the team that we do not disclose
to anyone," Martin said. "I don't
know ifwe discipline them, in a con-
ventional sense, but we are trying to
educate them."
If
we use the men's basketball
team as a case study, these free-
lance and inconsistent methods for
ip.onitoring
,
educating and disci-
plining simply aren't working. The
coaches' input is important
,
but
they are not media professionals.
Many colleges and universities have
developed social media policies and
worked to initiate them. Many of
these schools, including Auburn,
Iowa, Ohio State, Miami and North
Carolina have made their parame
-
ters public. Marist must create a
more uniform social media policy,
make it public and work to enforce
it. Many collegiate athletic social
media policies contain internal
sanctions that range from recom-
mendations to remove
a
posting or
photo to dismissal from the team
and non-renewal or reduction of
athletic grant-in-aid. A clearer pol-
icy would trump the informal sys-
tem that is currently in place.
Some critics
will
argue that plac-
ing a restraint on student-athletes
is unfair
.
The microscope on stu-
dent-athletes isn't going away, so
why not be proactive and take ad-
vantage of it? Athletes are a distinct
group on campus, and if a specific
social media policy is developed for
them, chances are it will escape the
confines of the McCann Center and
permeate other areas of the campus.
Other student groups could follow
the example set by athletics. The
athletics department could change
the culture
;
they could set the stan-
dard.
As an institution of higher educa-
tion interested in adapting to our
changing environment, instituting a
policy is in the spirit of our exis-
tence. With proper education, stu-
dent-athletes could
use their
high-profile status to benefit them-
selves and the institution.
Foxes dazzle in men's soccer win over Black Knights
By SCOTT ATKINS
Sports Editor
With 19 players returning, includ-
ing their top four scorers, the Marist
men's soccer team is poised for a
breakout year.
"We think we can be a very good
team," head coach Matt Viggiano
said. "Our goal is to be an NCAA
Tournament team."
Viggiano
will
be looking for a con-
tinuation of the steady improve-
ment the Foxes have shown during
his four year tenure as head coach.
Marist's eight wins in 2009 were the
most since the 2005 campaign,
as
they finished fifth in the MAAC,
missing the conference champi-
onship by just three points.
The familiar faces in 2010
will
in-
clude a 2009 First Team All-MAAC
selection and Third Team All-North
Atlantic Region forward in Krystian
Witkowski, who finished last year
season with four goals and three as-
sists as a sophomore. Now a junior,
Witkowski will lead a strong group
of goal scorers that include '09
MAAC
All-Rookie
Selection
Stephan Brossard and '09 Third
Team Academic All-American Joe
Touloumis. Brossard, a sophomore,
lead last year's team with 18 points,
while Touloumis, a senior, lead the
team in game-winning goals with
three.
"We're looking for our guys who
have been here for the last few
years to be our leaders," Viggiano
said. "They've been through the
wars so I know they'll be ready to
go."
The squad will also consist of
seven incoming freshmen, including
three goalkeepers who will compete
for time on the field. Viggiano is op-
timistic about his incoming class.
Returning in goal is last year's
starter Joe Pilla. The senior
will
be
looking to build on what was an out-
standing 2009 between the pipes,
twice being named MAAC Defen-
sive Player of the Week.
"I expect Joe to keep clean sheet.a,''
Viggiano said. "I expect him to con-
tinue his solid play that he showed
last year. Joe's a great goalie there's
no doubt about it."
Pilla and the Foxes welcomed
Army to Poughkeepsie on Wednes-
day night for their season opener,
and from the start, the Black
Knights were playing a phy~ical
game.
''We have to get used to the phys-
ical game," Viggiano said. ''Teams
are going to be trying to do that to
us all year long."
But the Foxes were up to the chal-
lenge and Brossard notched the first
goal of the young season at 28:52 to
give the home team a 1-0 lead.
Brossard's conversion was the first
of what could have been several in
the first half. The Foxes' had a
major opportunity to go up 2-0 in
the final seconds of the first half as
senior Desmond Farrelly ripped a
shot only feet away from the goal
that was blocked by an Army de-
fender. Viggiano was not happy
with the missed opportunities.
''We have to put teams like this
away," he said. "We were playing a
team that we are better than and
good teams need to close out games
like that."
In the 60th minute, junior Lucas
Szabo put the ball in the back of the
net off of a perfectly struck free kick
that resulted from Army goalkeeper
Michael Fiuk being charged with an
illegal handball. Szabo's beauty
proved to be the game winner after
a late Army goal, as Marist was
.
able
to hold on for a 2-1 victory.
The Foxes now sit at 1-2 after
dropping matches to Davidson and
Appalachian State in the Davidson
Adidas Classic. They will look to
bounce back at Adelphi on Thurs-
day at 7 p.m.

Ex-
Fox leads pack of Danish hopef~ls
By
PHILIP TERRIGNO
Managing Editor
Headlining an article in the sports
section of a Danish newspaper, the
title read: "Amerikaneren og bro-
dristeren."
Translation: ''The American and
the Toaster."
As Jake Dembow and a newspa-
per reporter sat in-
side
the
2009
M&rist graduate's
apartment in Aarhus (pronounced
OR-HOOS), Denmark and dis-
cussed his decision to play and
CQach
football in the Scandinavian
cou,ntry, the conversation turned
from
·
sports to practical living.
Dembow had been getting along
just fine in his new surroundings
but noticed that a glaring hole ex-
isted in the design of the Danish
toaster, a simple open-face, flat
grill.
"I don't kri.ow who designed the
Danish toaster - but I'm not im-
pressed," Dembow joked to the re-
porter. "There's no top. You t~n it
on, but all of the heat escapes. Its
not very efficient."
After a moment of amazement in
silence at the revelation that Dem-
bow had proposed, the writer re-
sponded profoundly.
"You know, you're right. That re-
ally isn't very efficient."
A simple remark about this house-
hold appliance became the headline
of a feature story written about
Dembow, but also mirrors the man-
ner in which he has made it a prior-
ity to poke, prod and enhance
everything around him.
His biggest improvement project
to date? The players of the Aarhus
Tigers American Football Club.
A member of the Danish American
Football Federation, the Tigers
function like a low-level American
semi-pro football team.
Players pay membership dues,
rent their equipment and hold full-
time jobs. Members are guaranteed
.
practice time twice per week and
one game on the weekends.
Simply put, the Danes are long on
enthusiasm but short on experience
and football IQ.
Luckily for Dembow, who was con-
tracted through October 2010 to
play on and coach the team's offen-
sive lil).e, English is commonly spo-
ken in Denmark and interest in
football is one lesson he can skip.
Viewership of NFL and college
football games is unusually high for
a region in which rugby and hockey
are the premier contact sports.
Games are rebroadcasted on the In-
ternet and television from packages
that the NFL and ESPN offer
strictly for international audiences.
"They really have an affinity for
[football]" Dembow said. ''Its just
that when you go out on the field, it
doesn't necessarily translate."
His teammates inept playing tech-
niques make reinforcing the funda-
mentals a priority.
Fellow American and teammate
Brian Woodward believes that Dem-
how's stern, but respectful method
of teaching is effective.
"Jake has taught them not only
technique and X's and O's," he said.
"But also a lot about work ethic and
the kind of attitude it takes to be a
solid football player."
Slowly,
.
concepts gel and the play;-
ers are able to apply what they have
learned.
"Jake is able
to
help the [offensive]
line adjust to the defensive front so
we can better [our] blocking and
pass protection," teammate Thorb-
joern Nielsen wrote in an email.
Whether or not the team's success
this season can be attributed to
Dembow, the Tigers have been dom-
inating their college-rules officiated,
48
minute contests.
Aarhus has won the first seven of
its 10 sched\,J.led games this season,
inchidllig a
51-0
tfuasmng of the
Horsens Stallions and a 45-0 romp
over the Odense Swans.
A perfect season would likely re-
sult in the jump from the premier
division to the national league, an
upgrade to DAFF's top conference.
Unlike the Tiger's anticipated
move up the ranks, Dembow's path
to the second-largest city in Den-
mark wasn't paved immediately
after receiving his diploma.
After spending time with two dif-
ferent indoor football teams, Dem-
bow coached high school football in
his hometown of Merrimack, NH
while also keeping track of his pro-
file onhttp://e\.U'.opla,yers.com.
The social networking site is a tool
for athletes looking to attract atten-
tion from international clubs in
hopes of signing a contract and was

Dembow settled on the Tigers,
who cover his living and travel ex-
penses, in part because they al-
lowed him to heal from a December
2009 back surgery before joining
therli in March 2010.
"The accommodations I receive
from the Tigers are actually on par
with what [American] indoor play-
ers would receive," Dembow said.
"As far as salary is concerned, most
players in the smaller indoor
leagues receive about $250 [per
game.]"
The medical procedure was a mi-
crodisectomy necessary

correct a
nagging back injury that was pre-

as an FCS independent.
In 2010, Marist will enter its sec-
ond season as a member of the Pio-
neer Football' League, a national
conference.
"I feel fortunate to be part of the
group that kind of got the wheels
rolling," Dembow said. ''To get from
where we wet'e, to now be able to re-
cruit at the national level."
For years, the only success Dan-
ish football fans have known was
through Morten Andersen, the
NFL's all-time leading scorer and
fellow Dane.
For aspiring Danish football play-
ers looking to create a legacy of
their own, the perfect place to start
is under the tutelage of Dembow.
"We'll get maybe 75 to 100 people
to our games, we don't have any
