Beer
tasting kicks off Senior Class Gift Campaign
By
THOMAS
LOTITO
Editor in Chief
The Senior Class Gift campaign
kicked off Wednesday, Nov. 10 with
a beer tasting event at Tenney Sta-
dium.
The event was co-chaired by Stu-
dent Body President Matthew Lu-
brano
and Class of 2011 President
Nicole
Pernice. A total of four beers
were sampled by the seniors at-
tending
the event, each given a de-
scription
by
Lisa
McGovern,
catering manager for Sodexo.
All the beer was supplied by
Brooklyn Brewery, chosen by Mc-
Govern for her appreciation of local
breweries, as well as the fact that
Brooklyn Brewery uses resources
from Esopus, the nearby town
where the Payne Mansion, given to
Marist last year, is located.
"I love the chocolate stout," Mc-
Govern said, "because I love dark
beers
and specialty beers."
The other beers were Brooklyn
Local #1, Brooklyn Lager and
Brooklyn Winter Ale, the Winter
Ale being the most popular among
the attendees. Other tasting events
are planned as part of the gift cam-
paign.
''There is going to be a wine tast-
ing next semester around Valen-
tine's Day," Pernice said. "We're
also thinking of doing a networking
night in the McCann center where
we have alumni and seniors meet.
Maybe there will be wine and
cheese and it will be during a
women's basketball game and stu-
dents can network with alumni for
jobs or any other after-college
plans."
The networking event holds rele-
vance to the mission of the Senior
Class Gi:ft Campaign, which is the
importance
of giving back to Marist
and setting an example for under-
classmen and future Marist stu-
dents.
"It's so we don't take for granted
the things we've been given," Per-
nice said.
"All
the opportunities we
have here, for
interning,
going
abroad, all of our technology, come
from gifts and donations given by
alumni. It's an opportunity
for
us-to
give back for other students."
While the benefits for other stu-
dents are clear, seniors may not
know the benefits of donating for
themselves.

an alumni increases Marist' s stand-

Concert raises
·
more than $1,800 in Stone's honor
By
ALYSSA LONGOBUCCO
News Editor
This past Saturday, several a cap-
pella groups came together in per-
formance, memorializing Robert
Stone. The concert was not an occa-
sion to mourn, but rather, a cele-
bration.
Stone, a student at Marist, passed
away unexpectedly during his jun-
ior year last fall while studying
abroad in Florence, Italy. Looking
for a way to
sustain
his memory on
campus while approaching the one-
year anniversary of his death, sev-
eral students joined together in
planning a benefit concert in his
honor.
One student very influential in
bringing the plan to fruition was
junior Elora Stack. A friend of
Stone's, Stack had been looking to
plan a concert in his memory for
quite a while, and after joining ef-
forts with several other students,
she saw her plan fall into place.
"I've
wanted to put on a benefit
concert in Rob's memory since last
semester," Stack said. "To me, it
was always important to carry on
his mission and his dedication to
aiding such causes as Invisible Chil-
dren. I knew I wanted to raise ent Note from Drew University. To

through ticket sales and raftles, the
Marist community raised over
$1,800 in Stone's name.
According to Clinkman, the major-
ity of the money
will be going
to-
wards placing a bench near Do~y
Hall in Stone's memory. The
-l"e-
maining portion that exceeds the
cost of the bench will be donated to
Invisible Children, a non-prolit or-
ganization that Stone supported and
dedicated much of
his
time to.
For Stack, the concert was only one
way to sustain Stone's memory. It's
her hope that his life continues to in-
spire those who knew him, as it does
her.
"I hope Rob is remembered as a
dedicated young man, filled with
passion, who took actions to change
the world," Stack said. "He accom-
plished and experienced more than
most people do at his age. I hope he
continues to stand as an inspiration
to everyohe who knew
him, and even
those who did not. He was my
biggest mentor, and continues to mo-
tivate me to this day. The legacy he
left
behind
will never be forgotten."

Failing in love:

What makes Marist students undateable
By
MICHAEL BERNARD
I
NI
Contributing Writer
As I am a faithful follower of
Rachael Shockey's "Sexual Healing"
every week, I've begun to think to
myself ... While she discusses how to
have a ealthy sex life, what about
those students at Marist who
AREN'T having a sex life? I'm re-
ferring to all the students on this
wonderful campus who have been
rendered "undateable."
Below
I
leave you a list of all those little
things that leave a decent sector of
the student body tragically un-
touchable and undateable, but defi-
nitely relatable.
1)
If your pickup line is "I play
football" ....
We get it, you lure
every foe into the Red Fox hole.
However, if you're flaunting
your athletic ability and think-
ing girls will actually care,
you're beyond undateable. You
should
be
excommunicated.
2)
If
you fall for the pickup
line "I play football" ... Ladies, a
man (or one-night-stand if that's
what your really looking for) should
be able to draw you in with more
than just that.
Save yourself.
3) If you wear rainboots far
too often ...
Sure, wellies come in
handy while making the trek to
class on those rainy days.
But
don't look to be changing your
relationship status until you
From News
change out of those boots. Six
days in a row is a bit unnecessary.
4) If you read the "Security
Briefs" and find that you're in
it ...
Some people may be after
that bad boy or girl, but there's
nothing less appealing than a
brush with Marist security.
5)
If
you have a better rela-
tionship with a cab driver than
with your own parents ...
While it
may come in handy to have Phatz as
your own personal chauffeur for you
and your friends, nothing quite
screams "daddy issues" like this.
6)
If
people know you by name
but you have never met them
before...
This
doesn't mean you're
popular
1
just that your genit.ah, are.
7)
If
you go to The Loft on a
Friday night
.
..
Or any night for
that matter. It's not the first se-
mester
of
freshmen
year,
broaden those drunk horizons.
8)
If
you have P
l
easant Ridge
on speed dial...
Despite being one
of the most common late-night
snacks, mentioning chicken bacon
ranch in your sleep or leaving the
bar early for a slice is far from "hot."
9)
If
you dance with your han
d
s
on
the floor of
H
atters ...
I'm not
asking you to do the waltz or
tango across the dance floor, but
class it up just a bit. People

Francis, the patron saint of the environment. animals and Marlst undateables.
come to have a good time, not get
a shot of your nether-regions.
10) If you talk about your
gym
regimen...
Thanks to "Jersey
Shore," GTL is all the rage. But
gentlemen, if you must, talk
about it only with your fellow
guides. You may be fist pump-
ing your way into bachelorhood.
11) If you spend too much time
in the cafeteria...
Of course,
Tracey crafts delicious omelets, but
Sif I catch you in the dining hall
from 10:45 a.m. until dinner time,
you aren't just undateable, you may
be in dire need of a hobby.
12)
If
you puke in the cab
prior to leaving campus ...
Everyone has one of those
nights, but if you can't even han-
dle your liquor, how can you
handle a dating life? You, my
friend,
are
undateable.
There
.
you have it, Marist!
There are a few more weeks left
in this semester and New Year's
resolutions will be here before
you know it. Take this list into
consideration and you may be
able to land yourself a significant
other in no time at all.
Parking seminar offers chance to expunge ticket record,
highlights the rights and wrongs of car park etiquette
By
MICHAEL GAROFALO
Circle Contributor
Students who recently received
parking tickets on campus were
given an opportunity to reduce their
fine by $25.
The Student Government Judicial
Board in coordination with Director
Safety and Security John Gildard,
held a parking seminar on Wednes-
day, Nov. 10 in the Student Center.
"Honestly, I attended the meeting
for the sole purpose of not having to
pay my $25 parking ticket [and for
some free food]," said senior Kelly
Furlong.
Student Government Association
Chief Justice
,
senior Thomas
Wolowski presented a slide show
which defined parking violations
and corresponding fines as well as
explained the process of appeals.
Perhaps one of the most contro-
versial areas on campus is the cove
in the road between the library and
the new Hancock Center. Presently,
most of the space is taken up by
pickup trucks working on the Han-
cock site, but it is often filled with
students' parked cars.
Senior Angie Lieberg said that she
was once ticketed in that very loca-
tion, but claims there was no sign
up indicating that she was breaking
the law. She was told that the area
is for emergency parking only, but
argues that it "doesn't say that any-
where."
Wolowski said that "even if your
hazards are flashing, you will still
be issued a ticket," in regard to all
restricted zone parking.
Furlong resides in Lower Fulton,
but her parking assignment is in
Beck East, which she hopes to
change next semester.
''I
got my ticket for being parked in
the Lower Fulton after grocery
shopping," she said. Furlong is dis-
gruntled that her seniority and
number of credits did not get her a
better parking spot.
Students who need to unload
cargo can call security at extension
2282 and explain their situation.
The dispatcher will assign them a
log number, an
·
d
·
the student will
have 15 minutes to unload. Any
tickets issues during that period
will
be voided.
Students who feel that they were
wrongly ticketed for any reason can
make an appeal to the Student Gov-
ernment Judicial Board. The appro-
priate form can be obtained from
the Security office or SGA office.
Students must type an official state-
ment of their case, and submit it no
more than ten days after the ticket
was issued, Wolowski said.
"We get
.
appeals from many stu-
dents on anything ranging from
medical conditions to sheer lazi-
ness," Wolowski said. "We thor-
oughly read them and base a
decision
·
based on the statement
that the students attach."
Lieberg said "I think there should
be something where kids can appeal
face-to-face." She said that some-
times it can be difficult to fully ex-
plain the problem in writing.
Presently, students are notified of
the results of their appeal via e-
mail.
Despite parking inconveniences,
Gildard reminds students that
Marist does not charge extra for
parking, and that other campuses
are experiencing similar issues.

Marist's student-run boutique
has always been known for selling
fun and s
t
ylish accessories.
This year, the boutique decided
to do thing
s
with a more local ap-
proach
,
by featuring products de-
signed
and
hand-made
by
students, which is some of the
most eye-catching and popular
jewelry at Fashionology.
Ariel Munzer, a senior and fash-
ion merchandizing major, started
making jewelry six years ago as a
hobby in the hqpes of being able to
play up her drab work uniform by
accessorizing it with fun, bright
jewelry. She has now turned that
hobby into a mon~ymaking busi-
ness she named Pistol Haute
.
"
I was always a crafty kid who
threw on cheap
,
plastic costume
jewelry
,
" Munzer said.
"
Once I
s
tarted making my own jewelry, it
was just for fun
.
However, people
started asking me to make them
pieces; I realized I should proba-
bly begin to sell it."
Munzer understands how it is
for many young women to want a
piece of jewelry that they cannot
afford. This is the inspiration that
defines Pistol Haute.
"I am c9nstaµtl
y
flipping
through magazines and seeing
pieces of jewelry that I can't af-
ford,
"
Munzer said. "I'll make the
piec
e
instea:d and sell it at an af-
It's no wonder why Munzer's
jewelry has appeals to so many.
The collection has
ah
eccentric
Betsey Johnson look with much
more attractive price tags ranging
from $12 to $40. Fashionology As-
sociate Kira Kazamatsuri feels
that Pistol Haute has drawn in
customers to the boutique
.
"Ariel's jewelry has a really
unique and quirky sense of style
that is easily identifiable and
that's part of the reason people
are so drawn to it," Kazamatsuri
said
.
"They know that what they
are buying is handmade and a one
of a kind original. They are al-
ways the first pieces to go."
As much as the young women at
Marist are grateful for Munzer's
jeV'fehy, she is ju~t as grateful to
those who love
and
purchas,e her
pieces.
"FashionologY. has saved me in
regards of being a jewelry de-
signer, but not only in the money
making sense," Munzer said. " I
am most flattered when people
recognize me and my jewelry, and
tell me how much they love it."
For life after Fashionology and
Marist, Munzer hopes to open a
small boutique for her jewelry and
run it as a family business. Until
thelk she'll continue to make
pieces for Fashionology in order to
keep Marist students looking chic

including text, photos, quotes, links,
audio and video, which all can be
'
up-
loaded from your phone, browser,
desktop or e-mail.
If
you particularly
like a post, you can "reblog'' it, which
is similar to retweeting on Twitter.
Although Tumblr may seem similar
to other forms of social media, it
stands out with its ease and accessi-
bility. Brett Phares
,
a professor of
media arts at Marist College, echoes
the statement of Tumblr's simplicity.
''They pay close attention to the
user experience
,
keep things simple
and straightforward for the user, in-
stead of the other way around, which
is how a software engineer makes us
adapt to their tool," Phares said.
''The way they have upped the ante
in the look and feel of the tool makes
us feel as smart and sophisticated as
the tool itself."
With various pre-made themes to
choose from, creating your own cus-
tomizable blog has never been easier.
Tumblr does not require any knowl-
edge of html or extensive CSS coding,
although
if
you are experienced in
these areas, you can create your own
theme and publish it to the website
for others to use.
While other services like Blogspot
or Wordpress focus mainly on the
textual aspect of blogging, Tumblr is
more focused on media-rich posts,
such as pictures and videos. Count-
less Tumblrs have a theme, ranging
from fashion (http://shoelust.tum-

Tumblr also takes on

tions such as Newsweek and NPR
posting content daily.

Marist professor finds sanctuary in martial arts
By
JENNIFER SOMMER
Circle Contributor
Dr
.
Steven Pearlman seems like
your typ
i
cal Marist professor as he
sits comfortably in his small office
in Fontaine we
.
dged between a book
shelf and his laptop
,
but he is much
more. Primarily known for his writ-
ing and composition theory classes
and the long lines outside his office
door
,
most would expect to find him
with his nose inside a book rather
than delivering round house kicks
in a martial arts studio. However
,
both scenarios are equally as likely.
Pearlman is a martial arts expert
with an interest in giving back to
the community.
"I was really surprised when I
found out," Kelly Gallucci, a senior
and student of Pearlman, said
.
''We
were in nonfiction and he was teas-
ing me about being stressed or
something so I said to him, some of
us have a book due in a couple of
weeks, excuse me for being a little
stressed and that's when he told me
he had a book."
His book called "The Book of Mar-
tial Power,
"
created the martial arts
style Genri-Ryu Bujutsu, which
means the principled approach to
martial arts. It presents universal
principles that can be applied to any
style of martial arts.
It
has "canned
itself a little niche," Pearlman said.
Pearlman attributes his interest
•
in mar
t
ial arts to his love of old
Kung Fu movies: "I grew up watch-
ing those and loved the hell out of
them
..
" He started practicing Taek-
wondo and Shorin-ryu in 1983 and
diversified after that.
''My parents wanted me to do it be-
cause I was getting picked on in jun-
ior high," Pearlman said.
"He comes off as a very strict ball
buster kind of guy," Gallucci said.
"He absolutely terrified me at
first .
.
. but at the end of the day
if
he
pushes you it's because he sees po-
tential in you and he's trying to get
the best work out of you. It's when
he doesn't push you that it's scary."
Gallucci continued to describe him
as seeming tough and unaffected,
.
but in reality caring a lot about
what students think.
"I've always respected him as an
instructor
,
I just gained a new level
of respect because he was using his
own skills and reaching out to help
the student body," Gallucci said
after attending Pearlman's self-de-
fense lecture in Leo Hall on Oct. 4.
When he was in college, Pearlman
decided it would be great to extend
his knowledge out to the commu-
nity
.
He wanted to create a
women's self-defense class but after
some research he realized it was not
as simple as showing someone how
to throw a punch.
''The
literature
quickly revealed

is a song written and recorded by
Akon and Jackson in 2007, but after

Sexual Healing: A titillating turkey day
By RACHAEL SHOCKEY
quantities).
Staff Writer
''For 5,000 years, nutmeg has been "I
am thankful for my slammin'
The image of shoving breadcrumbs
into a turkey carcass doesn't exactly
·prompt
the average Thanksgiving cel-
ebrator to strip down and dart to the
bedroom. Watching football and giant
balloon floats on parade makes one
think of broken bones and bloating
rather than getting it on. At face-
value Thanksgiving does not present
itself as a sexy holiday whatsoever.
But truly, any day- even Groundhog
Day - can be sexy
if you let your cre-
ative juices pour.
If, by chance, you
have some time away from your folks
during break - or you just want to
quietly relish
in
some introverted per-
sonal sensuality- here are some tips
for a sexy Thanksgiving.
A
feast of aphrodisiacs
Experimenting with foods that boost
arousal is appropriate for any time of
the year, but now is a great time
to
look into it. Many traditional Turkey
Day foods are believed to contain nat-
ural sex drive sustainers. Chocolate,
vanilla and oysters are some of the
more popular aphrodisiacs, but the
power of the pumpkin often goes un-
acknowledged. Molly Edmunds from
http://science.discovery.com, writes,
''In studies conducted by the Smell
and Taste Treatment and Research
Foundation in Chicago, the scent of
the Thanksgiving staple was fourid to
increase penile blood flow by 40 per-
cent. The scent was also found to in-
crease sexual desire in women."
Multiple studies have concluded
that pumpkin is one of the most
arousing scents for men.
But some of us simply aren't pump-
But truly, any day- even Ground-
hog Day - can be sexy if you let
your creative juices pour.
kin-pie people.
In that case, there are
plenty of alternative edible arousers.
Nuts, particularly pine nuts, walnuts
and almonds,
are
regarded as aphro-
disiacs, as are cinnamon and nutmeg,
all of which can top off pretty much
any dessert. Nutmeg is a particularly
mighty one (apparently it's also a hal-
lucinogen when consumed in large
known for its medicinal and sensual
sex organs"
properties... [It] can swee~en the
breath (for those after-dinner kisses),
increase body temperature, and bring
a sense of well-being to your favorite
dinner companion," writes Tinamarie
Bernard in an article on sexy Thanks-
giving food at http://examiner.com.
And you don't have to wait for
dessert to get turned on. Your cran-
berry sauce delivers a sizeable dose of
vitamin C for your adrenal glands,
prepping you for an orgasm. Celery,
which can be easily incorporated into
stuffing, "contains androsterone-a
powerful male hormone that stimu-
lates female sexual arousal," writes
Claire Daniel at http://yourtango.com.
As
for turkey, there's debate over
whether it possesses natural aphro-
disiac potential, or the high level of fa-
tigue-inducing tryptophan it contains
causes the opposite in its eaters. How-
ever, we do know that sex-obsessed
surrealist Salvador Dali was a huge
fan of turkey, so the bird must have
something appealing to offer.
Sexy cinematic plotlines built
around Thanksgiving time.
It's hard to appreciate the sensual-
ity of a story-of~Thanksgiving movie
when you know that poor Pocahontas
is being terribly misrepresented. Skip
''The New World" and opt for a movie
with a chaotic turkey dinner and a
salacious sex scene. "Pieces of April,"
starring Katie Holmes, is an intense
story about an estranged daughter
who hosts a terribly awkward
Thanksgiving for her family. The sex-
ual chemistry between Holmes's char-
acter and her boyfriend is beyond
fiery. ''The Ice Storm" from 1997 is all
about alcohol and sexual experimen-
t1:ltion in the early 1970s, with a little
bit of Thanksgiving thrown in.
If
you
haven't seen last year's "Funny Peo-
ple," the film includes sex between
Adam Sandler and Leslie Mann, as
well as an unconventional gathering
of people for the big November dinner.
And then there's "Brokeback Moun-
tain" ... we'll always
·
have Brokeback
Mountain. All four films score high
(between 82 percent and 87 percent)
on popular film-rating site
http://rottentomatoes.com.
At the dinner table, give thanks for
your health, your loved ones, the priv-
ilege of going to college, the joy that
the second season of "Glee" has
brought you, etc., but on your own
time, give thanks to your body and all
the perks it offers you.
This is
a per-
fect time to take a hand mirror to your
nether regions and get to know your-
self and your greatest points of pleas-
ure better (you may even discover new
sensations that you'll want to try out
in your next sexcapade with a part-
ner). Instead of throwing yourself
into a vagina workshop with other
people, conduct a private one, and
take some time
to
explore each part
of your
vulva.
The
website
http://vaginism us-awareness-
network.org offers dozens of pages of
extensive information on the female
sexuality and getting to know your
vulva. The site is centered on the
goal of ridding women of vaginismus,
a condition in which the vaginal
muscles contract out of anxiety asso-
ciated with penetration of the
vagina.
There's plenty to explore in penis-
land as well. "Some males are jeal-
ous that females have a 'G Spot' that,
when stimulated, results in a high
level of sexual excitement ... [But]
males have an 'A Spot,"' writes sex
educator Sue Johanson on her web-
site. It's your prostate, and it's pos-
sible to reach an exquisite orgasm by
stimulating it. Mastering prostate
stimulation takes comfort and famil-
iarity with your equipment, as your
"A Spot" is most easily reached
through the anus.
If you're intrigued,
there is a thoughtful, accessible arti-
cle on it by Sex Education Corre-
spondent Isabella Snow called ''The
Male G-Spot" at http://askmen.com.
-
On a more responsible note, the
free tim'e ybu have over break may
be a good opportunity to treat your
goods to a wellness check-up at a
local Planned Parenthood or clinic,
to ensure that everything is STI-free
and ready for duty. These places
tend to set aside time each week for
walk-ins, so you should be able to
find a time that will ~ork for you.

Ban frigid-weather funks

with winter workouts
By MONICA SPERANZA
~(aff
Writer
Although the fall has been pretty
forgiving thus far, winter will
soon be upon us, bringing cold and
snow. The extreme weather of the
brutal winters we get in this area
can severely impede our regular
workouts and fitness.
Not only is it painful to walk to
the gym because it's cold, but it's
risky to take a run in the snow,
where we're likely to slip or have
an asthma attack. Fortunately,
there are many indoor and out-
doo~ alternatives for staying in
shape during the winter months.
If you don't want to make the
trek to the gym, try to formulate
an at-home wor out. Not only can
you easily search "workout videos"
on YouTube and come up with
plenty of 10-minute workouts, but
there are several fitness websites
that provide workout videos and
instructions as well. Create an ac-
count on http://sparkpeople.com,
and enjoy the options there. Try
http://bodyrock.tv for demop.str~-
tions of home wotkouts;
too
'
:
Marist periodically offers Zumba
classes, but you can also buy
Zumba DVDs to use at home. The
Total Body Transformation Sys-
tem DVD Set at http://zumba.com
is $59.95; you can find single
DVDs from the set at http://ama-
zon.com for less.
There are other fitness options
that don't require going on web-
sites or buying expensive DVDs.
Chances are, many of us may
wind up escaping the winter by
watching TV in our rooms.
In-
stead of mindlessly munching
while staring at the TV or com-
puter screen, try jogging in place
while you watch an episode or
doing crunches during the com-
mercials. Or instead of watching
TV at all, have yourself a dance
party while you clean-both of
which burn calories. In fact, an
hour of general house cleaning
can burn up to 300 calories.
As cold as it can get in the win-
tertime, once you get moving, you
will warm up. One sure-fire cardio
workout is shoveling snow. De-
pending on your stature, an hpur
of shoveling can burn up to 500
calories, and you'll definitely heat
up.
For those who don't ski, snow-
board, ice skate or do other win-
ter
sports,
there's
always
sledding. We view sledding as a
fun recreational activity, but it
can be
·
hard work. An hour of in-
tense sledding (i.e. repeatedly
climbing up a steep hill carrying
a sled) can burrt up to 550 calo-
ries. Considering that we have de-
cent hills in front of the library
and by the river, break down a
cardboard box or use anything
else that can act as a makeshift
sled, and go to it-assuming there
will be snow soon.
Whether you're doing 10-minute
ab workouts in your bedroom or
playing in the snow, don't let win-
ter infringe upon your fitness.

A geocacher's guide to the galaxy
By ROBIN MINITER
Lifestyles Editor
Fate was not on our side the arbi-
trary
Thursday afternoon that
Caitlin Nolan (your trusty manag-
ing editor) and I decided that it was
a perfect day for a geocache. For you
"muggles"
-
this time defined as a
"non-geocacher"
-
geocaching in an
outdoor
sporting
activity in which
hide-and-seek containers are hid-
den all around the world, with the
goal of being discovered by a fellow
cacher. With a handheld GPS and
coordinates found posted on the geo-
caching
websites, the adventurers
hunt for containers stuffed with log-
books and small tchotchkes.
Armed with nary a clue, we
tromped through the wooded under-
growth of Quiet Cove in search of
one of the over 1.2 million caches
planted worldwide. We may have
had a flashlight, but the battery was
going. We may have had a camera,
but no memory card. We may have
had the latest in geocacl)ing iPhone
apps, but it was acting a little
wonky. But what we did have to our
credit was a sense of humor and
gusto to put our fear of brown bears
and peripheral furry critters aside
for the sake of bringing Circle read-
ers a tale of adventure and triumph.
Sadly, this isn't that tale. No
treasure was found. Thankfully, no
ticks were either. As a token of
hindsight, we bring some sage ad-
vice to you Indiana Jones wannabes
for your next adventure
-
as well
as ours.
Dress warm.
Much to
everyone's
dismay and
denial, the Fall 2010 edition of the
New York winter has arrived. With
no cafeteria trays to sled on (though
I hear those twin x-long mattresses
work quite nicely), this can be your
alternate extra-extra-curricular ac-
tivity. But, be sure to dress for it.
Hats, preferably with a furry trim,
are all the geocaching rage; so are
old Christmas sweaters from Good-
will.
If
you plan on spending lots of
time in the cold, forgo layering up
with cotton
-
it'll only trap mois-
ture and make you chillier at the
end of the day. Go for a wicking fab-
ric -
UnderArmor makes a mean
spandex
-
and a pair of toe socks.
We're bringing
'em
back.
Carb up.
Personally, if I'm not fed every 27
minutes I get ornery (and ornery
dread-heads are the worst kind).
Being out in the frost can increase
your metabolism by at least 20 per-
cent, leading to hunger pangs and
questions of why this was a good

some "me time"
By DAYNA VA.SIUK
Graphics Editor
In life we all do
stupid
things,
often when we're feeling pressure
and stress. This weekend I decided
to treat myself to spontaneity before
I faced a stressful week. I colored
my hair with what I thought would
be a soft, strawberry blonde, and I
was horrified when I turned out
looking like redheaded Rihanna.
Needless to say, my Sunday was
no longer a relaxing day off. I set my
alarm that night for 9 a.m. on Mon-
day so I could sprint to Rite Aid to
get Oops Hair Color Remover to
remedy my disaster. Thankfully, my
hair was back to its natural roots
just in time for my 2 p.m. class.
I am sure you're probably wonder-
ing what my hair-coloring blunder
has to do with stress relief. Studies
show that when you're stressed out
or in a bad mood, it's ha-rd to feel
your best, and let's face it: feeling
your best requires feeling beautiful
from the inside out. I assumed that
trying a beauty treatment to en-
hance my outside appearance would
alleviate the anxiety I was feeling
on the inside. Fortunately, my mis-
take was fixable, but because there
aren't "Oops" kits for all the slip-ups
we make, we should take thought-
ful measures to protect our minds
and bodies.
Wash away your tr
ou
bles.
It is important for all of us to have
"me-time." This can simply mean
turning off all your electronics and
just zoning out. You'll notice the
benefits of a routine like this even if
you do it for just half an hour a day.
Giving yourself a facial or painting
your toenails without being con-
stantly interrupted by numerous
texts or e-mails will improve your
ability to focus later, not to mention
improve your appearance.
You can also try clearing your
head while cleaning up. Studies
show that taking a hot shower is a
great way to relax muscles, like in
the neck or back. It can reduce al-
lergy symptoms and even help re-
duce acne and water weight. The
cortisol levels in our bodies increase
when we are stressed, causing us to
overeat, gain unwanted weight and
bloat. Although it tastes worth it at
the time, we retain excess water
weight when we eat
too
much junk
food. The steam in the shower can
help a person lose weight by raising
body temperature. Although you
may not come out of the shower
looking like a Victoria's Secret
model, your metabolism is tem-
porarily increased by your elevated
body temperature, and you drop ex-
cess water weight by sweating
.
This
sweating can also help your skin by
flushing out the cortisol in the body
through our sweat glands. Between
the steam and the sweat (which con-
tains salt that kills the acne-caus-
ing bact~ria), a hot shower can open
up our pores, removing the oil and
dirt deep in the skin.
Enough gloom; get glowing.
If
you want to hold onto your radiant
skin, you may want to reconsider
being confrontational. When we have
issues with a friend or significant
other, it may be better to take a deep
breath and cool off before getting into
a heated argument. Holding on to
frustration with a disagreement for an
extended period of time only produces
higher stress hormone levels that neg-
atively affect our health and appear-
ance. Dr. Janice Kiecolt-Glaser,
professor of psychiatry at Ohio State
University, suggests that prolonged
surges of these hormones
will
un-
doubtedly affect our immune systems.
It takes more effort to stay mad at
someone than just letting things
go,
plus, everyone looks prettier with a
smile.
According
to
http://livestrong.com, smiling can help
reduce symptoms associated with anx-
iety. Dr. Mark Stibich, consultant at
Columbia University, writes that "if
you can slow your breathing down and
change your expression, you may be
able to turn around the stress cas-
cade." We
all are going to have dis-
agreements. By talking calmly, we
will
not only improve our internal health,
but we
will
also better maintain that
youthful glow in our cheeks. Next time
you find yourself in an argument,
think to yourself how the best revenge
is walking away beautiful and radiant!
Give thanks to yourself for your.hard
work this semester, respect your need
for peace of mind and confront stress
with a smile.

Red Hot Fox: LaMacchia to conclude stellar career
ByJIM URSO
Sports Editor
With the score knotted at 10 in the
second quarter of Marist's home fi-
nale with Dayton, senior James
LaMacchia received a punt at the
Marist 18-yard line, dodged a num-
ber of defenders en route to the
Marist 42-yard line. The play was
not incredibly consequential, but it
was illustrative of the unclassifiable
dimension LaMacchia has brought
to the Red Foxes offense. With each
missed defender, crowd excitement
escalates. When the ball is in his
hands, there is a sense that any-
thing can happen.
On Saturday, fans at Tenney Sta-
dium witnessed James LaMacchia
From Page

scamper through traffic and evade
challenging defenders for the last
time. LaMacchia grabbed nine
catches for 88 yards in Marist's
2010 home finale, a double overtime
loss to Dayton.
In recent weeks, LaMacchia has
broken a number of Marist all-time
records, including those for recep-
tions and receiving yards.
"He's so slippery whenever he gets
his hands on the ball," Marist head
coach Jim Parady said. "He's a guy
we constantly try to get the ball
whenever we can."
Currently, LaMacchia has com-
piled 798 receiving yards and eight
touchdowns
in
2010. His
71
catches
is a Marist single-season record. He
currently ranks fourth in the Foot-
ball Championship Subdivision
(FCS) in all-purpose yardage.
According to LaMacchia, dodging
defenders is a lea.med skill.
"It comes from being aware of cov-
erage," LaMacchia said. "I expect
defenders to be in certain places. It
takes practice to feel comfortable
with the ball."
"It hasn't hit me yet," LaMacchia
said of his final game at home. "I
don't even know how I'll feel after
this week."
The Red Foxes' battle with the
Pi-
oneer Football League power Day-
ton provided players, coaches and
fans great anticipation for the com-
ing years. However
..
something will
certainly be missing without no.

Foxes split weekend home games in race for MAAC finals
a game plan in which certain line-
man would drop back into zones on
each side in an effort to keep the
agile Valentino in the middle of the
field. Valentino, however, was sim-
ply too quick to contain.
Marist received the ball to start
the initial overtime. On the first
play, Reilly aimed for senior tight
end Chris Ortner, who made a mag-
nificent grab landing in the end
zone for a touchdown and a sepa-
rated shoulder. The catch propelled
Marist to a 34-27 lead.
"With their offense playing so
well, we needed to score a touch-
down on that possession," Ortner
said.
Marist ran the same play in the
second quarter, completing a 29-
yard pass to Ortner and putting the
Red Foxes in position to take a 13-
10 lead.
After Ortner's touchdown, the Fly-
ers struck back with a seven play
drive that resulted in a three-yard
Taylor Harris touchdown. Trailing
34-33, Dayton needed to convert the
ensuing extra point to continue the
contest
.
After Marist attempted to
ice the kicker with a timeout, Day-
ton's Nick Klavin lined up beside
several screaming members of the
Marist band. Klavin's kick ascended
and clanked off the left upright,
causing a momentary mini explo-
sion of cheering at Tenney Stadium.
The outburst of cheers was soon si-
lenced when players and fans saw
the referees raise their hands, indi-
cating the ball had bounced inside
the uprights and the kick was good.
Dayton received the ball first in the
second overtime and one play took a
41-34 lead on a touchdown pass
from Valentino to Luke Bellman.
"He creates things with his feet,
he's a good thrower," Parady said.
''More so than all that: he's a great
competitor. He just wills his team
down the field in the critical situa-
tions."
With 7:12 left in the fourth quar-
ter, Valentino ran for a six-yard
touchdown to thrust the Flyers to
their first lead of the game at 27-20.
With 2:35 to play, Harris was
stopped by linebacker Kees Cough-
lin just inches short of the first-
down marker on a fourth-and-two
play. The short yardage stand gave
Red Foxes the ball back at their own
24.
With 76 yards to go, Reilly trotted
onto the field and preceded to drive
his team into scoring position. On
fourth-and-10 from the Dayton
11-
yard line, after three consecutive in-
completions, Reilly hit Michael Rios
for a touchdown. The roaring crowd
was reminiscent OF Marist's last-
second win over PFL contender
Jacksonville in 2009.
"I thought, 'I just have to do it,
give my receiver a chance,"' Reilly
said. ''They blitzed everyone and I
saw man coverage. The receiver
[Rios] made a great play on the ball.
I didn't know he caught it until I
heard the crowd screaming."
The Red Foxes jumped out to a 7-
0 lead after an efficient 72-yard
drive that took 12 plays and 7:50.
The drive concluded with a one-yard
rush from Calvin McCoy. Jason
Meyers' field goal extended the lead
to 10-0 early in the second quarter.
The Flyers struck back, scoring 10
points in under four minutes.
According to Reilly, striking back
was "huge" at this juncture in the
game. "I'm sure they came in and
looked at our record," he said.
Marist scored 10 consecutive points
between the second and third quar-
ter. Reilly's 14-yard touchdown
strike
to Greg Whipple gave Marist
a 20-10 lead with 13:18 remaining
in the third quarter. Valentino then
marched his team back, scoring 1 7
unanswered points before Reilly's
game tying drive.
Marist will conclude its season
next Saturday at Georgetown of the
Patriot League. Kickoff is set for 1
p.m.
LaMacchia doesn't think Marist
will let down after such a hard
fought and emotional loss. "Once
the game starts, you put it all out
there," he said.

s share thoughts on instant replay
By
PHILIP TERRIGNO
Managing Editor
Baseball and football are consid-
ered the two most popular profes-
sional
sports
in the United States,
with NASCAR and basketball trail-
ing close behind. Both the NFL and
MLB, the governing bodies of foot-
ball and baseball, function as highly
structured, harshly regulated busi-
ness enterprises.
Yet, for two ultra successful
leagues that gross billions of dollars
annually, the NFL and MLB have
two vastly different, conflicting atti-
tudes towards the use of the instant
replay.
The immediate replaying of video
footage of an event, after it has been
recorded can easily determine the
outcome of a game since the video
evidence can correct a decision that
a human official may have initially
made.
While baseball has traditionally
kept its distance from implementing
an instant replay system, the NFL
has embraced it.
Both of these decisions have
drawn strong opinions from fans,
players, media members, officials
and team executives.
Former professional players can
provide a fresh perspective on the
issue, particularly those who com-
peted in the time before instant re-
play entered the sphere of sp6rts
discussions.
Marist head softball coach Joe Au-
sanio and Marist football
defensive
backs coach Larry Riley are two
such individuals.
Baseball
On June 2, 2010, the sports world
watched in horror as Detroit Tigers
pitcher
Armando
Galarraga's
chance at a perfect game was ended
after umpire Jim Joyce called a
Cleveland
Indians
runner safe at
first base.
Video evidence revealed that the
ball clearly beat the runner to the
base.
If
Joyce's decision was overturned,
Galarraga would have successfully
retired 27 batters in a row.
"I felt horrible for [Galarraga],"
Ausanio said. "As a pitcher myself,
you're facing the best hitters in the
world. To be able to retire 27
straight and have that taken away,
that's tough to swallow."
In an extremely personable move,
Joyce embraced Galarraga after the
game and publicly apologized for
missing the call - an extremely un-
characteristic move fo:r a profes-
sional referee to make.
''Years ago, umpires had an ego,"
Ausanio said. "As big of an ego as
the players did. They didn't like
their calls questioned and you did-
n't show them up."
Ausanio was drafted in 1988 by
the Pittsburgh Pirates and pitched
for five organizations in his 10-year
professional career, including the
New York Yankees, New York Mets
and Colorado Rockies.
His last season playing profes-
sionally was 1997.
"If
you look at the umpires, a lot of
those guys were umpiring when I
was there years ago," Ausanio said.
"They're getting older. I'm sure
their reflexes aren't the same and
I'm sure that their eyesight isn't the
same."
MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and
his staff have not completely ig-
nored the clamoring for instant re-
play implementation.
In 2008, the MLB instituted the
use of instant replays to determine
disputed home run calls - fair or
foul, in or out of the ballpark and
fan interference.
"Based
on the playoffs and World
Series that I watched this year, I
think theres no question that the
[MLB] needs to visit the use of in-
stant replay for all calls," Ausanio
said. "And now just for homeruns,
fair or foul and out and safe."
Drenched
in tradition, baseball
and its followers have long clung to
the notion of the game's "human el-
ement" and how sacred the umpires
are to the sport's lore.
''There is no clock in baseball,
baseball has that uniqueness about
it," Ausanio said. "I think that in
the end, if you did a stTaw poll of
players, they would rather get the
call right because it can impact a
lot. The ultimate goal is to get the
call right."
Football
Riley considers the AFC Champi-
onship game during the 1979-1980
NFL season as a major moment in
the leagues pre-instant replay years
that could have benefitted from its
use.
In the contest, officials ruled that
a Houston Oilers receiver was out 6f
bounds after catching a pass when
it appeared he landed in the end-
zone for a touchdown.
Houston went on to lose the game
to the Terry Bradshaw-led Pitts-
burgh Steelers.
"They only had several camera an-
gles at that time," Riley said.
''What
they had, it showed the [receiver]
with both feet down, but it was
never shown again."
After earning two All-America ac-
colades two times during his career
at Salem College, Riley signed with
the
Denver
Broncos and was a
member of the famous "Orange
Crush" defense.
Riley
played on the Broncos 1977
Super Bowl team and played one
year with the New York Jets before
compiling a three-year career in the
Canadian Football League.
''When I played, you could hit a re-
ceiver downfield," Riley said. "On
the defensive line, you could head
slap."
The NFL first adopted a limited
instant replay system in 1986 and
the current system - with the "chal-
lenge" of on-field calls- was adopted
in 1999.
According to Riley, football in 2010
is too quick and too chaotic to be of-
ficiated by the naked eye alone.
"[The officials-] have seen the play,
but the difference is that these kids
are faster, stronger and have a
quicker twitch," Riley said. ''These
kids are just so athletic and the
agility level is superior to when I
played."
Similar
to
baseball, age may play
a factor in the difficulty of calls that
officials are required to make.
''The referees and umpires are sea-
soned veterans," Riley said. "At that
age, you don't see [a play] as clearly
as you think you see it. Once they've
done so many games, there are cer-
tain situations imprinted and en-
coded in their mind."
Professional football has long been
lauded as the perfect l}lade-for-
television sport and the instant re-

play process, which includes an offi-
cial watching a game clip under a
black-hooded unit, adds to the the-
atrical element of the sport.
Starting in 2005, instant replay
was used in post-season college foot-
ball games, including all 28 bowl
_
games and the Division I Football
Championship Subdivision, Divi-
sion
II
and Division III n«tional
championship games.
It is unclear whether or not the
technology will be implemented in
the Pioneer Football League, the
conference in which Marist com-
petes.
"I don't see it happening anytime
soon," Riley said. "It's a costly thing
and it has to be budgeted with the
networks. Someone has to split the
costs."
The MLB does not currently take
full advantage of instant replay
technology and changes might be in
store for the NFL's system, includ-
ing allowing coaches to challenge
plays after the two-minute warning
in each half.
In
these two extremely transpar-
ent, well organized leagues, the ben-
efits of having instant replay are
tangible, yet not immediately em-
braced.
''You have three factions," Ausanio
said, "owners, players and [offi-
cials]. The media will push the in-
stant replay and the umpires will
fight it the most because of their
egos and the umpires union."
Foxes compete in regional championships
By
ERIC VANDERVOORT
Staff Writer
The Marist men's and women's
cross country teams competed at the
Northeast Regional Championships
last Saturday at Hammonasset
State Park in Madison, Conn.
The men's team finished with 288
points, which is their best score in
program history at regionals. This
earned them a 10th place finish,
which ties a program record. The
Red Foxes finished ahead of strong
programs like H
·
arvard and Yale,
and 24 points behind UMass for
ninth place. Syracuse won the meet
with 56 points, followed closely by
MAAC Champion Iona with 63
points.
''They ran extremely well, I'm so
proud of each and every one of
them," coach Pete Colaizzo said.
Matt Flint was Marist's top fin-
isher for the third consecutive week,
finishing in 30th place overall with
a time of 30:52.7 in the 10,000
meter race. Junior Will Griffin was
close behind Flint, placing 38th in
31:04.9.
Sophomore Arquimedes Delacruz
was third for the Red Foxes and
61st overall, finishing in a time of
31:29.25. Shortly after him was
freshman Ken Walshak, whose time
of 31:42.8 earned him a 72nd place
finish. Seniors Nick Webster and
·
Tim Keegan made up the rest of
Marist's runners, as Webster placed
87th in 31:56.6, and Keegan in
128th with a time of 32:38.3.
Junior Adam Vess was unable to
finish the race due to injury, but Co-
laizzo said this did not take away
from the team's performance.
"It was great to overcome his loss,"
he said, "that's the beauty of having
a strong team."
The Marist women's team finished
23rd in the Northeast Regionals
with 712 points, 12 points behind
Rhode Island. Syracuse placed first
on the women's side
as
well, with 78
points.
The Red Foxes were led yet again
by freshman Kiersten Anderson,
who finished the 6,000 meter course
in 21:29.6, placing 52nd overall.
"Keirsten ran really, really well,"
Colaizzo said. "For her to place top
50 in a competitive region is a really
good start to her career."
Colaizzo also said that Anderson
has transitioned well into the col-
lege cross country environment,
and
that "she's been a great leader as a
freshman."
Anderson thanks her teammat~s,
saying that "everyone is really sup-
portive, and they helped to make
the transition from high school to
college, which is much more com-
p~titive, easier."
Other runners for the Red Foxes
included Briana Crow (153rd,
23:01.7), Katie Messina (162,
23:08.2), Erin O'Reilly (176th,
23:18:.4), Kathryn Sheehan (177th,
23:20.5) and Jillian Corley (184th,
23:39.8).
Both the men's and women's
teams will look to "finish out the
season
with style," as Colaizzo said,
in the ECAC/IC4A Championships.
They will be held Saturday, Nov. 20
at Van Cortlandt Park, in the
Bronx.

Foxes

With Pioneer Football League
(PFL) powerhouse Dayton coming
to Poughkeepsie on Saturday, it
seemed Teasonable to anticipate a
lopsided loss in the finale of the
football
Marist football team's
home schedule. In-
stead, fans experienced an en-
thralling college footbaU game in
which Marist would set records in
the midst of a blow-for-blow melee
that needed two overtimes to pro-
nounce a winner.
The conclusion, though, would be
emblematic of Marist's struggles
throughout the season to make cru-
cial plays in crunch time. Trailing
41-34
in the second overtime,
Tommy Reilly's pass was inter-
cepted, ending the game and sealing
a share of the PFL championship for
the I:lyers
(10-1, 8-0
PFL).
"It's really frustrating," Reilly
said, "we're just not doing enough
little things to win the game."
In a contest which Marist ran the
ball
15
times for just five yards,
Reilly was given the opportunity to
sling the ball all over the field. By
the game's end, the junior quarter-
back shattered the program's sin-
gle-game records for completions
(35),
pass attempts
(51)
and yards

After being benched against Davidson on Nov. 6, quarterback Tommy Reilly (above,
right) shattered Marist's single-game records in completions, attempts and yardage.
(417).
Reilly threw for three scores,
but also tossed three interceptions,
including his last throw of the af-
ternoon.
"Their guy came free off the edge
and had the rush
,
" Reilly said.
''I
couldn't step into the pass and it
was just underthrown. The DB [de-
fensive back] made a good play. I
made a poor decision."
Reilly was benched on Nov. 6 in a
home matchup against Davidson
after Marist fell behind
18-0
in the
first half.
''We're competing," Marist head
coach Jim Parady said. "And
if
I
thought we weren
'
t then I'd have a
real serious issue .with what's going
on. But sometimes plays just don't
hit for you at the end."
Parady told his players to leave
the locker room with their heads
held high.
"It was a great college football game
to be a part of," he said. "I think our
program took steps forward today
because of this performance."
Marist wide receiver James
LaMacchia concluded his career at
Tenney Stadium with nine catches
for
88
yards. ''This game proved we
can play with any team in this con-
ference," LaMacchia said.
"It
was
great to show that."
The loss dropped Mari st to 3-7
overall,
1-5
at home and 2-6 in the
PFL, a disappointing season for a
team which finished tied for fifth in
the PFL in
2009.
In
2010,
Marist
lost five home games by three, four,
six, seven and seven points.
The Flyers were led by quarter-
back Steve Valentinb, who compiled
311 total yards. Valentino con-
nected on 16 of 31 passes for 227
yards and two touchdowns. He
added
84
yards on the ground.
Valentino was named Pioneer Foot-
ball League Co-Offensive Player of
the Week for his performance. He
now holds a
19-2
record as a starter.
"He's the best offensive weaponin
the PFL," senior defensive back
Rory Foley said. "He takes defenses
out of their game and tries to bait
guys in coverage. It's tough to keep
guys in the right spot."
Since Marist entered the game
with only one sack, coaches devised
