The familiar herds of com-
muters and upperclassmen
waiting for the chirp of the
crossing signals to usher them
across Route 9 could be a
scene of the past
in
2011.
Marist College has been
working with the New York
State
Department
of
Transportation (NYSDOT) to
design an underpass under
Route 9 to promote student
safety and ease the flow of
traffic on the highway. ·
Executive Vice President
Roy Merolli said Marist hired
a traffic engineering consult-
ing company called Urbitran
to work on the plans for a
crossing, and decided an
underpass would be better
suited for the area than an
overpass because of the topog-
raphy of the land.
Merolli said the underpass
would be a safe and secure
passage that could be made 30
feet wide and would be well
lit. It would
be
more accessi-
ble for disabled students than
an overpass because the
underpass would be mostly
flat. Merolli also said fewer
trees would have to be com-
promised in the construction
of an underpass as opposed to
an overpass, and there would
be no danger of people throw-
ing things onto the street.
When and if the town plan-
ning board, county officials
and the Fairview Fire District
approve the project, the major
part of construction would
begin in the summer of 2010
and run through the 2010-
2011 school year. Since the
project is still in the design
process, Merolli said it is hard
to estimate a cost but that costs
would be shared
in
a public
and private partnership.
Justin Butwell, director of
the Physical Plant, said the
cost would be "certainly in the
millions," but it is too soon to
make any accurate cost pre-
dictions.
Butwell will help guide the
design from a Marist perspec-
tive, but said the NYSDOT
will take the lead role in
design because Route 9 is
owned by the state.
"The over 1,000 students
living on the east campus will
be able to walk straight down
and cross and have direct
access to the north and south
campus," Butwell said.
The proposed underpass
would line up with the pedes-
trian bridge on east campus
and emerge on the main cam-
pus just north of the Kieran
Gatehouse.

Security Briefs
'Marist Security' makes list of drunken aliases
By TYLER THURSTON
.. .funnier than you.
2/18 - Campus
Things got off on the wrong
foot for one female student, or
at least one attempting to
stand on hers. While a security
guard was entering the cam-
pus through the South gate, he
noticed a peculiar sight.
Clutching onto two other
females for dear life, one stu-
dent was having a mighty hard
time standing, the result of
either some intoxication or the
apparent loss of the will to
walk. Security concluded it
was a case of the former, and
upon closer encounters_ with
the student, she reported her
name as "Marist Security,"
whi_ch, although popular in the
late 80's and early 90's, is
most likely not the moniker
her parents chose. Although,
with a French accent, it almost
sounds beautiful, but I digress.
The student was then trans-
ported to St. Francis, where
I'm guessing her wrist band
did not read "Security,
Marist." Although, when my
kid goes now, it just might.
2/21- Lower Townhouses
'
A fire was narrowly avoided
in the Lower Townhouses,
with residents using the handy
extinguisher to put out the
blaze caused by bacon grease.
The only question I have fol-
lowing this story was, did you
still eat the bacon? Because
there's one school of thought
saying you have to throw it
out, and there's another saying
just to cook it longer until all
that white powder just turns
into delicious white flavor.
2/21 - Upper West Cedar
Two fire-trucks and four fire-
fighters got to have their nice
day interrupted for a bag of
burnt popcorn in Upper West
Cedar. Responding to the
apparent dire emergency, the
fire was extinguished and the
room was aired out. Wow, if
that's not a nice outlet for their
skills I don't know what is. All
that training, all that equip-
ment, and they become the
bomb squad for a bag of
Orville Redenbacher. That's
like graduating from the
Police Academy to check IDs

clelivery car from a local
pizza place putting the pedal
to the metal on campus recent-
ly, with the student driver of
the car being asked to drive
more carefully, as the pizza
will still in fact be warm with-
out trying to· break the sound
barrier. So, in other news, the
delivery from local restaurants
is very timely. Always an
upside.
2/22 - Gartland
One student returned home
only to find the eerie sight of
their door handle being ripped
off and left on the ground in
front of their residence. A
locksmith then replaced the
handle and we all slept sound-
ly that night. While this may
seem odd and probably a little
threatening at first, in this per-
son's defense, the handle
probably shocked them every
time they touched it, so they
decided to get a power drill

Retreat imbues hope, spirituality
"Busy Students" take time to meditate

The Busy Students Retreat,
a getaway structured to fit
into a student's schedule,
regardless of how busy it is,
took place Feb.
15
to

About
15
participants took
advantage of this opportunity.
Brother Michael Sheerin,
Vocation Director for the

Brother Steve Milan, the
Director of Young Adult
Programs, and Sister Mary
Catherine Redmond, a Sister
of the Presentation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, visited
Marist to serve ·as retreat
directors during this year's
event.
The purpose of the retreat is
to allow time for reflection
for participants and help kick
start "spiritual renewal"
"I
hope students get out of
this that they can continue to
reflect and pray," Brother
Milan said. "The retreat is
based on Scripture, so stu-
dents get a better understand-
ing of how to use Scripture in
prayer. Taking that time of
quiet might help them feel
more in sync with their day
and God."

Sheerin says one of the
retreat's benefits is the
"opportunity to reflect-on life
with a higher power and your
inner voice."

part in this event.
''I had just come out of
some hard times and
I wanted
to see if it would get me back
on my feet-," Ciaramella said.
She says that the experience
will have a continuing, posi-
tive effect.
"I read a lot about patience,
giving

second
chances, and being overall
nice and willing to help. I've
always been like that, but this
made it clearer," Ciaramella
said.
Ciaramella, satisfied with
her experience, recommends
the Busy Students Retreat to
"anyone needing emotional
support and restoration."
"The experience restored

reminded me that God is
always with me," she said.

Up 'Til Dawn efforts exceed past donation amounts
By
Kate Kent
Staff Writer
Clubs at Marist College, in
collaboration with the Student
Government
Association
(SGA) have raised a total of
$41,621
this school year for
St. Jude Research Hospital as
a part of the Up 'til Dawn pro-
gram. During a cumulative
eight hours in two nights dur-
ing Oct.
2008,
Marist students
wrote
6,500
letters for St.
Jude.
Steve Townsend, SGA
Senate Speaker and Class of
2010
President, said this is an
overall increase in efforts
from past years. Marist raised
roughly
$35,000
m 2005,
$19,000
in
2006,
and only
$14,000
in
2007.
Due to the decreasing
amounts Marist had raised in
past years, St. Jude was not
immediately inclined to return
tp
Marist for the Up 'til Dawn
event this year.
"We broke all the Marist
records this year," Townsend
said.
"I told them if they came
back, we would make it
worthwhile."
This year SGA declared the
program a club challenge in
which
50
clubs participated,
along with individual students
who volunteered to help.
Marist Cheerleaders won the
club challenge for most letters
written, with over
500
letters.
According to Townsend,
Dance Club and Teachers of
Tomorrow went above and
beyond the call as well.
"It
was a huge group effort
that included a lot of great
people," said Townsend.
According to Mary Alice
Gerrard, the Director of the
School
Based-National
Program Marketing at St.
Jude, Marist is in the top
20
of
all colleges participating in
the program.
"We've raised one of the
highest amounts
m
the
Northeast," said SGA presi-
dent Erik Zeyher, "and we're
going up against big universi-
ties like Buffalo and
Syracuse."
"It
was unbelievable,"
Townsend said. "Everyone
worked towards a common
goal and the result was astro-
nomical. It really means
something to save the life of a
kid."
Through the program this
year, Marist students arranged
chemotherapy for
32
children,
and since the
2005-2006
school year, Marist students
have raised over
$100,000
for
St. Jude in total. SGA has
been largely involved in lead-
ing this effort.
"They underestimated us,"
Townsend said, referring to
the amount of pre-formatted
letters that were given to
Marist for the Up 'til Dawn
event. "We actually ran out of
letters."
. Townsend believes Up 'til
Dawn is a well-designed pro-
gram, as it asks students to
donate their time, not their
money, which college students
are more than often lacking.
"Everyone can spare an hour
for a good cause," said
Townsend.

Marist to show their lovin' during Hearts for. Haiti
By MELISSA GRECO
Staff
Writer
Marist junior Jeff Francis is
planning the first annual
Hearts for Haiti, a fundraising
event for Home Education
Love Opportunity (HELO,
Inc.) - sponsored
by
the Student
GovemmentAssociation (SGA) -
that will take place Tuesday,
March 31 at 7:15 p.m. in the
McCann Center Field House.
HELO, Inc. is a small non-
p_rnfit corporation that found-
ed and supports an orphanage
in H~iti, ~triving to provide for
.orplian.ed and abandoned chil-
dren in the aux Cayes region.
The nonprofit was co-founded
two years ago by Elisabeth
Kennedy, based and operating
out of Bethesda Evangelical
Ministries in ·Wallingford,
Conn.
With a price tag of$1,000 to
maintain the orphanage and
with few annual supporters,
HELO, Inc. is receptive to
fundraising
opportunities.
Currently there are 12 children
at the orphanage, three main
staff care givers and a teacher
that attends six days a week
for three hours. ·
"There is so much need in
Haiti. The average Haitian
makes one dollar a day," said
Francis. "I can feed one of the
children for less than one dol-
lar and fifty cents a day.
Together we can change their
life for the better, give them
~,gs
th y
never dreamed of."
Francis became involved
with HELO, Inc. through
Kennedy, a family friend and
fellow board member for a
Youth and Family Service
Bureau. Kennedy had trav-
eled to Haiti numerous times,

returning with anecdotes from
her experience.
Upon hearing her stories,
Francis wanted to make the
trip to Haiti with Kennedy, he
said, "but my parents would
not let me."
"The years went on, and
finally I was old enough," he
said.
Francis accompanied
Kennedy to Haiti for a week in
November of 2008.
"The children in the orphan-
age are bright, beautiful,
young children," he said. "As
soon as Elisabeth introduced
me to them in Creole, they
immediately started calling
me Papi Jeff. They are the
most affectionate children I
have ever met."
According to Francis, the
idea of a fundraiser at Marist
College sparked earlier this
year, and with SGA's aid,
planning for the event was put
into motion.
"SGA has been very sup-
portive, and I could not be
doing this without them," he
said. "Everything is in place
for the fundraiser to be a hit.
All that is needed is for stu-
dents and faculty to come and
support me."
Executive Vice President of
the Student Body, Billy
Burke, who is assisting
Francis with publicity for the
event~ said that Francis has
worked hard. to gather support
from students and groups on
campus.

events. However, donations
are still being accepted and
many of the raffles wiJ}
remain in the School of
Management office to allow
for additional submissions.
Marist money is also
accepted in addition
to
cash
and checks which can be
made out to Marist C9llege.
"I think it's great that
Marist is doing this to help
other people and any oppor-
tunity we get, we should
take," Alana LaFlore, an
attendee said of the event.
Among the many prizes
raffled off was a beauty bas-
ket containing over $200 in
products, a breakfast bas-
ket, a late night snack bas-
ket, and most important to
many attending: the Xbox.
"Trus is for a good cause,"
Mike Hall, a junior at
Marist said. "People spend
tons of money for an Xbox
so why not put it towards
something important?"
In attendance and offering
their support in any way
possible was the fraternity,
Tau Delta Chi, better known
as
TDX. The men of the
organization volunteered
th~ir time, sitting at tables
and monitoring the raffles--.
This was the first year o

involvement for the:
frater-
nity, Marvin Horne, the
President of TDX, said.
Raffie tickets were a-vail-
able for $1, $2, and
$5;
each
ticket valid for a different
prize. Winners were drawn
throughput the event for
various prizes ranging from
beaded necklaces to restau-
rant
certificates.
Refreshments were also
sold as another form
of
fundraising.
"We take water for grant-
ed when we should be
grateful for it," Laflore
said. "Hopefully
if
we can
continue to have fundraisers

situations in other countries
for the better."

Politician creates trouble with Twitter while abroad
By
Caitlin Nolan
Web Editor
Many politicians will
attempt
to
reach out, speak to those who
are affected by their decisions,
and keep the people in touch
with recent events. There
comes a point, however,
where that contact can prove
dangerous.
In an article on Politco.com
by Andie Collier, many law-
makers are posting on Twitter,
an online blogging tool that
allows these politicians to
"stay connected to their con-
stituents on an up-to-the-
second basis."
Even
still,
Rep. Pete Hoekstra
(R-Ml) created a recent contro-
versy while in Iraq when he
updated all with access to
Twitter.com of his actions in
real time.
"All
of this .information gives
the enemy possible COAs
( courses of action) which
makes ambushes a lot easier,
especially if the enemy knows
who they're traveling with,"
Cassandra Gilday, a cadet of
Marist's Reserve Officer
Training
Corps
(ROTC) pro-
gram, said. "My boyfriend
who is deployed can't even
tell me where he is, because
that's telling the enemy where
he is."
The repercussions of such
an action are unknown at the
moment, but the backlash of
such an act may affect those
who wish to report in similar
wartime situations.
"Will this affect the Press?
Oh,
absolutely,"
Geny
McNulty,
director of
the
Communication
Internship
Program,
exclaimed.
"There's a danger you have to
understand in any military sit-
uation. He
is
not literally breaking
any
laws. Is he
endangering him-
self and others? I think yes!"
Many believe the press corps
and military shared an under-
standing. But any action that
could possibly result in a very
bad situation may be grounds
for a change in that relation-
ship.

A-Rod: Just the next steroid poster-boy?
By PHILLIP TERRIGNO
Sports Editor
l
should preface all of this by
saying that cheating is wrong.
Professional athletes or, more
specifically baseball players,
who have used performance-
enhancing substances in any
capacity, are guilty of wrong-
doing. They have broken the
laws set forth by Major
League Baseball (MLB) and
the MLBPA (Major League
Baseball Players Association).
They have also s_eriously dam-
aged the
integrity of
America's favorite pastime.
That being said, it's time for
baseball fans of all ages and
walks of life to seriously
examine their consciences.
Why, you ask? Why should
baseball fans take any blame
or feel any guilt for the steroid
allegations and use that has
plagued
Major
League
Baseball since 1996?
For starters, fans have
embraced the same game that
they call "tainted". They have
attended the games and pur-
chased the merchandise. The
MLB television network, very
similar to the NFL network
now operates. The game is
certainly doing well consider-
ing that MLB revenues were
up from 6.075 billion to 6.5
billion dollars during the 2008
baseball season from the pre-
vious year.
When the 2007 season
closed, a MLB press release
reported that the league had an
attendance of 79,502,524 for
the season. That broke the
overall single season record
for the fourth consecutive
year.
Se<;ondly, fans and-the media
have led a witch hunt for these
players that have used per-
formance-enhancing drugs.
Am I suggesting that these
players should be let off easy?
No, not at all. They should be
penalized according to MLB
and MLBPA regulations. They
should not, however, be sub-
ject to humiliation by the fans
and the media.

The paradox that I have
spent all this time alluding to
is that fans attend the games,
enjoy the product that the
players produce, and then crit-
icize the players for cheating.
Still, you may be asking your-
self, how does Alex Rodriguez
fit into all of this? Since his
press conference on Feb. 17 in
which he admitted steroid use,
just a few months
prior were cheered on the field
by the same fans that now
despise them. This is not a
new occurrence by any stretch
of the imagination. Let's take
a look at the other players that
have been subject to the same
public embarrassment and
criticism.
For the past three summers,
Roger Clemens has been all
over the New York tabloids as
he dealt with his alleged
steroid use. I guess that
Houston Astros and New York
Yankees fans didn't value the
26 games he won for those
teams over the past three sea-
sons in limited time.
Moreover, for the past eight
years, the biggest scapegoat
for the steroid era has certain-
ly been seven-time Most
Valuable Player Barry Bonds.
Bonds was constantly attacked
on a personal level, and claims
were even made that his head
had enlarged since his steroid
use. Frivolous claims like this
accomplish nothing except to
embarrass one of the game's
great talents. San Francisco
Giants fans probably didn't
enjoy the 586 home runs he hit
over 15 seasons as a Giant.
Ken Caminiti, the former
MVP and three-time all-star
who recently died in 2004 of
an apparent heart attack, was
one of the first playets to
admit steroid use. Instead of

Liberal trend in voting public
By MICHAEL NAPOLITANO
Staff Writer
With all the ideological
struggle in America over the
"alleged" culture war, it seems
natural for there to be massive
backlash by the political right
in response to the changes Mr.
Obama is attempting to push
through. in Washington. But
the change from Conservatism
to Liberalism is nothing new,
particularly in American poli-
tics. What we may see now,
however, is a general shift in
public opinion and govern-
mental policy that will reflect
a more liberal model.
It is not out of _the ordinary
to see minor sways in the gov-
ernment's policy, nor is it
uncommon to see slight
changes in public opinion over
the course of 20 years or so.
What is major, however, is
seeing a complete realignment
of public opinion to another
ideology. This type of massive
shift is usually a result of mas-
sive social and political unrest.
We saw this with the election
of Roosevelt in 1932 and the
election of Reagan in 1980;
the public changed their polit-
ical alignment towards anoth-
er political view based on eco-
nomic hardship.
Now we are confronted with
a new scenario: was the elec-
tion of Obama a response
against the conservative
America built by Reagan,
Gingrich, and the Bushes?
This is a possibility. It seems
as though the voting public
dramatically swayed towards
liberalism and, in doing so,
gave the Democrats a mandate
to try out their policy. Political
pundits have been noting that
it seems as though America is
fed up with the conservative
economic and foreign policy
of the previous administra-
tions, including Clinton.
The issue now is to what
extent is the government
going to liberalize.' I find it
hard to believe that the gov-
ernment will sway as drasti-
cally left as conservative pun-
dits are speculating. Although
th.e conservatives are worried
about the extent to which the
government will liberalize,
they must allow Obama to try
out his policies to try and bet-
ter America
It is time for welfare reforms
to increase funding into edu-
cation, and to mend one of the
most tattered healthcare sys-
tems in the industrialized
world. Who knows? We may
even catch up to Europe in our
quality of healthcare. We may
even catch up to Cuba!
The conservatives have had
their opportunity to lead the
country, they have been doing
so for the last 28 years. Now it
is the liberals turn to try and
run the country with their poli+
cies. Trends dictate that within
the next 20 years - if Obama
succeeds in leading the new
liberal movement - there will
be a transition back to conser-
vative politics.
I would like to close this arti-
cle with a quote from
Conservative columnist Bill
Kristol: "Liberalism's fate
rests to an astonishing degree
on Obama's shoulders.
If he
governs successfully, we're in
a new political era."

New gospel choir director joins Marist community
By MONICA SPERANZA
Circle Contributor
Marist Music's new gospel
choir director, David C.
Burns, is no stranger to the
Huds·on Valley. Born in the
Bronx, NY, Bums and his
family moved to the town of
Newburgh in 1986 where he
stayed until 2005.
Burns heard about the gospel
choir director positio_n through
a colleague, and decided to
investigate the opportunity. He
came back for an interview,
and "the rest was history."
Bums also teaches several
classes, participates in band,
and accompanies the chorus
on piano.
Before Burns ended up at
Marist, he had quite an inter-
esting and productive life.
While going to college at
Philadelphia Biblical University
located in Langhorne,
Pennsylvania, Burns moved
around a few times, but stayed
in Bucks County. Burns went
to college to earn degrees in
"music and biblical science,"
while at the same time work-
ing three jobs.
"Despite a crazy schedule
and a great deal of trials and
tribulations, I earned my two
degrees," said Burns.
One of the jobs Burns
worked was being a part time
bus driver, which eventually
. gave him "the opportunity to
tour the entire east coast,
Toronto,
Quebec,
and
Montreal, Canada." In his
travels, Burns has also visited
"Michigan, Fort Knox,
Kentucky,
Tennessee,
Alabama, Ohio, and Indiana. I
have been to the Bahamas
twice." Though Bums has
seen and lived many places, he
was drawn back to the Hudson
Valley, which is where he cur-
rently resides.
In
addition to travel opportu-
nities, something else bus
driving gave him was the
nickname "Cookie Monster."
This nickname came about
because while he was on his
root he would always have a
bag of cookies ready on the
dashboard. "Cookie Monster"
was not the only nickname
Burns acquired over the years.
"In
high school and co!Iege
everyone called me Da Rev,"
explained Burns. "Since I'm
always dressed in a shirt and
tie (believe it or not I don't
own a pair of jeans) and the
way I speak, everyone
assumed I was going to be a
preacher. Ironically, the group
of friends I hung out with in
high school and college, we
called ourselves The Clergy."
To add to the array of nick-
names, Burns also earned the
name "Doc" due to his tenden-
cy to call everyone "doc" or
"doctor."
Regardless of what people
call him, Burns' unwavering
passion for music will never
change. His musicianship
began early:
"Music is my life," said
Burns. "My parents told me
that at the age of two, my
interest in music began,
although my formal training
did not begin until age five.
There is not a day that goes by
that I am not thinking about
music. I honestly don't know
what I would do without
music."
Music was a learning tool for
Bums, teaching him disci-
pline, creativity. and passion.
His familiarity with gospel
music is intimate. He said, "I

all my life, either playing spe-

entire service."
Burns has well-groomed
experience directing gospel
choirs as he did it in high
school, college, and "at sever-
al
churches
in
the
Philadelphia/NJ area." .
Burns has big plans for
gospel choir. He is excited to
put on performances in the
c.wnmunity and travel to
churches. He asks that if any-

encouragement, and helpful-
ness. And Marist, without a
doubt, appreciates the same
from him.
Train stories from
a student intern
By
KELLY LAUTURNER
Staff Writer
For those of you who heard
about the train travails _I expe-
rienced during my ~first day of
interning, you're in for anoth-
er special treat. An ordinary
Wednesday of interning was
over as I made a mad dash to
Grand Central at rush hour.
I climbed aboard the first
train car I saw and success,
there were open seats. I was
overjoyed I would not have to
stand all the way back to
Poughkeepsie. I found a pair
of two seats open and sunk
down. A lady came and sat
next to me so I had to .use my
one seat for me, my coat, and
my tote bag, but I didn't care
too much.
Then she realized she was on
the wrong train, so she quick-
ly went running off the train. I
was thrilled I would have my
:own row on the return trip,
free to spread out and listen to
my iPod. Then a man who was
on the correct train came and
sat next to me, and I didn't
mind too much. He got off at
the first or second stop and left
me alone .
On the way to the third or
fourth stop, we came to a
screeching halt on the tracks.
Because of the pitch black
night, I couldn't really tell we
had stopped until several min-
utes later when the women
across from me were com-
plaining about the stop.
Looking around, I had no idea
where we were or why we
were stopped. But since it was
7 p.m., I was too tired and
hungry to care much. I didn't
think much of the situation
until I saw the conductor come
charging down the aisle and
into the next car, muttering
under her breath.
The conductor came on the
loudspeaker and I figured she
would say something about
the tracks being messed up
because of the unseasonably
warm weather. I was con-
vinced this little stop had been
a minor problem that was

Where in the world? Living life Down Under
By
AMY WHEELER
Circle Contributor
As I opened up the shade on
the window of the airplane
and saw the most amazing
sunrise I have ever seen, all I
could think was the quote
from "Follow Through" by
Gavin DeGraw, "This is the
start of something good ...
don't you agree?" I was leav-
ing America behind for the
trip of a lifetime - studying_
and interning abroad for four
and a half months in Sydney,
Australia.
When Feb. 10 rolled around,
I was more than ready to begin
my adventure; most of my
friends abroad had already
been there for a month, and I
was just beginning. The 14
hour plane ride from San
Francisco was smooth and I
fell asleep for most of the trip.
Right before we were about to
land, we got a great view of
the Sydney Harbor Bridge and
Opera House, the icons of the
city.
At the airport, I met up with
the four other Marist students
also attending Australian
Catholic University; we are all
staying in homestays, which
are working out very well so
far, and we all have intern-
ships. It is a very unique expe-
rience to get to live with an
Australian family and work at
an Australian organization.
So far I have eaten Thai
food, Chinese food, apricots,
green tea gelato, and schnitzel
(which turned out to be bread-
ed chicken), seen Bondi and
Tamarama beaches (with two
French travelers), Chinatown,
the Queen Victoria building,
the Sydney Aquarium, Darling
Harbor and the historical
Macquarie Street, watched a
."footy" (rugby) game and
been taught by a pop/rock star
who went to college with
Hugh Jackman. I have lost to
my 9-year-old host "brother"
in chess, and made juice out of
apples, carrots, nectarines,
mint and watermelon with my
"sister." And I've only been
here for a week and a half.
The most noticeable differ-
ences include the lack of
obese people ( although our
teacher said that they are in
competition with America for
being the most obese nation ...
we haven't seen it), the
amount of walking everyone
does, putting lemon juice on
their pancakes, and calling
ketchup tomato sauce.
Next weekend we are stay-
ing in the Blue Mountains in a
gorgeous bed and breakfast
run by one of the professors at
the Uni (what they call college
here). He will be taking us on
a 4 mile hike and will be
teaching us about the ecosys-
tems, geology, landforms,
soils, hydrology and flora of
the World Heritage Blue
Mountains Park. We are hop-
ing for good weather; we did
not see the sun for the first
5
days we were here!

this semester.
So far, my favorite thing to
do is get lost, or "off-course,"
as I like to call it. The places I
have fQund while being lost
are among my favorites so far.
Getting lost abroad has a com-
pletely different connotation
for me now. I thought getting
lost in a foreign country would
be frightening and tear-induc-
ing, but instead, it really
means adventure-seeking.
Lao Tzu said, "A good trav-
eler has no fixed plans, and is

thought I would say this, but
my best days so far have been
the ones where I have aban-
doned my plan and just
explored.

When I was a little kid the
only way I ever ran was if
someone left candy on the
kitchen table and my sisters
happened to notice it at the
same time I did. I remember
making it through a few youth
soccer games without having
to sit down on the field, and I
only ran back and forth a little
bit because I knew it would
earn me a trip to Dairy Queen
afterwards. As I got older my
attitude towards running did
not change much, for example
in eighth grade I faked numer-
ous injuries to escape the tor-

lacrosse practice. And then

Suddenly the train began mov-

'Shrek the Musical' is more pleasant than an onion
currently singin'
By
KATIE LEONARD
Circle Contributor
Shrek i~ a big, stinky mess.
The character, that is. "Shrek
the Musical," on the other
hand, is surprisingly pleasant;
fart jokes notwithstanding.
Despite my low expectations,
the musical proves to be enter-
taining, witty, charming, and
delightfully goofy.
Brian d'_Arcy James is
charming and fun as Shrek,
lighting up the stage on sever-
al occasions. The bulky cos-
tume and prosthetics that he
wears don't overwhelm the
actor; his strong presence and
powerful voice effortlessly
shone through the heavy,
green trappings.
Daniel Breaker, as Donkey,
procures some laughs from the
audience, but doesn't quite
stand up to the movie's ver-
sion of the character. He does
have a very good voice and a
highly expressive face, which
doesn't fail to amuse.
Christopher Sieber's Lord
Farquaad is
a
ri6t, and a
favorite with the audience.
The actor maintains the
remarkable athletic feat of
walking on his knees (while
fake legs are shown in the
front) for the entire show. His

snarky comments and impres-
sive physical comedy were
several of the highlights of
"Shrek."
The obvious star here is
Sutton Foster as Princess
Fiona. The audience is enrap-
tured whenever she is on
stage. Her stunning vocal and
dance talents are surpassed
only by her immense personak
ity and dazzling stage pres-
ence, and the combination

character that ultimate!Y steals
the show. Perhaps the best
number of the show is the
opener of the second act,
"Morning Person," which
finds her singing along with a
bird (and then accidentally
blowing it up), dancing with a
deer (accidentally pulling its
antlers off), and finally engag-
ing in a wildly entertaining
and energetic tap dance
sequence with a group of rats
and the Pied Piper.
"Shrek" is visually impres-
sive; its sets and costumes are
perhaps the most memorable
aspects of the show. The gift-
ed costume and set designer,
Tim Hatley, creates a vivid
dream world that produces an
atmosphere of grandeur and
m~ic. The vibrant colors of
the forest, the cold interior of
Lord Farquaad's palace, and
the inventive costumes of the
fairy-tale creatures add an
enchanting visual element to
the stage.

Behind the seams of the Michael Kors Fall

Finally. The day I've been

after 16 years, this is the last
season of collections to be

Lincoln Center.
Immediately upon arriving
we're put to work. The show

Michael Kors and his moth-

Zorona offers taste of Middle East
By
MICHELLE
MORICO
Circle Contributor
Tired of eating pizza and
wings, but too lazy to go out to
eat? Try ordering delivery
from somewhere different.
Zorona Restaurant offers
Middle Eastern food for
extremely reasonable prices
and provides free delivery to
the Marist campus and the sur-
rounding area. Located at 48
Raymond
Ave. in Poughkeepsie
(near Vassar), Zorona has an
extensive menu that can be
enjoyed through take-out,
delivery, or dine-in.
Zorona, open until 9 p.m. on
weekdays and 10 p.m. on
weekends, offers a great me~l
at a great value. Rob Boyce, a
Zorona frequenter, raves about
the restaurant.
~This place was such a nice
surprise when I found it,"
Boyce said "I was getting sick
of my Poughkeepsie meal rou-
tine: pizza, wings, Panini 's,
Chinese food. I was searching
for new restaurants in
Poughkeepsie and happened
to stumble upon this gem. I've
been there the last three days
in a row."
The menu offers a mixed
sampler which allows you to
chose up to five options out of
ten. Some of the options
include falafel, shawirma,
babaghanough, and shish
kebab.
"This sampler was such an
awesome deal, I got to try new
things, a lot of them," he said.
"I split it and it was more than
enough; they give you tons of
toasted pita bread too."
Zorona also offers many
vegetarian and vegan options,
which are sometimes hard to
come by. Sophomore Mia Otte
loves to eat out but she some-
times struggles to find local
places that cater to her diet.
"I'm a vegan and I've been
looking for accommodating
places for a while," Otte said.
"This plac~ is so close to
Marist, which is so conven-
ient, and they also have the
vegan symbols on the menu
making it even easier. The dis-
tance is really the best part
about Zorona. Normally, I
travel to New Paltz to get dif-
ferent kinds of food. It's sad
that I've been a Marist student
for years and I'm just finding
out about Zorona."
The walls are adorned with
Middle Eastern decorations
and photographs. The photos
display veiled women, land-
scapes, and Egyptian pyra-
mids. In one comer, there rests
a cozy table rising two feet off
the ground. The table is sur-
rounded by blankets and tap-
estries; above hangs a large
plasma-screen TV playing
Middle Eastern music videos.
The menu might seem over-
whelming at first, but the
Zorona staff is very happy to
answer any questions you may
have.
The menu boasts a wide
array of options to cater to dif-
ferent diets and moods. If you
sit down with a friend, con-
sider which plates would com-
plim(;Q.t each other well~ as
you may find yourself making
a deal to scoop some of your
friend's hummus in exchange
for some of your chicken
shawirma-- and why not? The
more you can stuff in your
pita, the merrier.
Although you may not have
have left room for dessert, you
will not regret ordering some.
"If you order a cup of
Turkish coffee with dessert,
you might be surprised by the
size of the cup," Boyce said.
The serving may seem small,
but the coffee is pretty strong,
and it will certainly provide
you with more of a wake up
than you might expect judging
from the size of the tea-party
like cup. The taste of the cof-
fee comes on sweet and ends a
little bitter. Don't mind the
dregs that may be floating at
the top of your cup; they will
settle to the bottom.
Although advertised on the
website, smoking hookah dur-
ing or after your meal is no
longer an option. A waiter,
who chose to remain anony-
mous, answered questions
about the hookah bar adver-
tised on Zorona's website.
"The hookah bar was shut
down by Vassar College," he
said. "We are hoping to re-
open in another location and
still have Zorona."

go down the runway, or wait
to interview one of the mod-
els, a celebrity, or most impor-
tantly, Kors himself.
Although everything appears
to be going smoothly, the day
would not be complete with-
out a few interesting charac-
ters. One veteran fashion show
crasher attempts to gain back-
stage access by claiming she is
Kors' mother. She's quickly
escorted out of the tent. Even
worse was a videographer
who was already backstage.
When we informed him it
was too crowded backstage
and he'd have to go take his
seat, he responded "I was just
wondering if I could interview
the designer first?"
Upon learning he hadn't
made prior arrangements, we
told him it would be impossi-
ble.
"Okay," he responded. "But
just so I know, what is the
designer's name?"
Soon the big stars start to roll
in, including models Carmen
Kass and Chanel Iman, both
who will be walking in the
show. The creme de la cre1t1e
of the editorial world is here,
including Nina Garcia,
Hamish Bowles, Andre Leon
Talley and, of course, Anna
Wintour. But what would a
fashion show be without the
beautiful people? Heidi Kh.lffi,
Molly Sims, Joy Bryant, and
Jane Krakowski all took in
Kors' designs.
The lights dim and the crowd
goes silent with anticipation.
The orange glow of the lights
and the powerful rock remix
of Coldplay and the Pet Shop
Boys blur the line between a
fashion show and a fierce
party.
This season, Kors shows a
broad spectrum of pieces
ranging from basics in black,
coffee and blonde, to shredded
fox coats and trapper hats in
highlighter yellow, safety
orange and neon pink. The
best part of the day is after the
show when we get to go back-
stage again with the celebrities
as they congratulate Kors.
Fortunately, the show went off
without a hitch. Tomorrow the
real work begins when the
reviews begin to flood in but
as for right now, there's an
after party to attend.

Going green is
more
than choosing organic fruits and vegetables.
Students'
every day habits greatly impact the
environment.
Change up your library rou-
tine: A laptop uses a quarter of
the power
used
by a desktop
computer. If you're a frequent
library visitor, make a conscious
effort to use one of the laptops
the library offers, instead of
using
the desktops.
Use
less
paper towels:
Instead
of using paper towels to clean
up
spills or messes,
try
using cloth
towels. Designate older cloth
towels for cleaning, and other
nicer ones for everyday use.
Dump
&
Run: Dump & Run is
an
organization which allows
college students to give away
their unneeded items, while
reducing the amount of energy
and waste at the same time.
Items are collected in May,
and
organized and sorted over the
swnmer, then re-sold at a large
sale when students return in
August. All the
proceeds
from
the Dump
& Run are donated to
local nonprofit organizations.
Although Marist has yet to be
involved in this collegiate yard
sale, students
can
still donate
their
unwanted goods to local
charities.
College students may find it
difficult to join the new

much offensively, and to com-
bine for the two of them for
seventeen points and four
assists, (it's) just really a cred-
it to them in terms of how well
they played."
Caron scored the first points
of the game with two success-
ful free throw attempts, and
soon tied tbe game at 10 after
getting fouled on a successful
layup.
6'2" senior Heather Stec
scored a quick layup to tie the
game at 12, and later hit two
free throws to bring Siena to
within two points of Marist,
18-16 with 12:06 remaining in
the first half: Stec came into
the game averaging 13.4
points per game and eight
rebounds per game, but she
finished with just six points
and two rebounds.
!•1 just thought we did a pret-
ty good job as far as handling
the things she likes to do in
terms of the fadeaway jumper,
at least contesting it and her
penetration," Giorgis said.
Junior Rachele Fitz scored
the next eight points for
Marist, and Marist maintained
a 26-19 lead with 6:01 left in
the half.
Siena would score only one
more basket before the inter-
mission, and Marist went into
the locker room at halftime
with a 35-21 lead.
The Marist onslaught contin-
ued at the start of the secona
half, although a Merrick Volpe
three-pointer cut the Red Fox
lead to twelve.
Best answered the Volpe
three-pointer with a triple of
her own, sparking a 9-0 Marist
run that gave the Red Foxes a
56-35 lead with 9:16 remain-
ing in the contest.
Every Red Fox that entered
the game contributed at least
three points.
"When you have everybody
in the scoring column and one
person in double figures, that
means that a lot of people are
contributing," Giorgis said.
With 4:39 left to play, Maria
Laterza was fouled after mak-
ing a layup. Her three-point
play started a 10-3 run that
gave Marist a 30-point lead
with just over a minute to go.
The largest Red Fox lead of
the game came following a
Courtney Kolesar three-point-
er with :36 remaining,
giving Marist a 31 point
advantage, 78-4 7.
Marist scored 28 points
in the paint. They have
scored at least 20 points
in the paint during every
game since playing East
Carolina on Dec. 29.
A major contributing
factor to the victory and
the Red Foxes success
inside was their rebound-
ing. Marist outrebounded
the Saints 46-28 overall.
Giorgis applauded his
team for being able to
outrebound the bigger
team by 18.

Marist tennis drops dual-match
ByJIM URSO
Staff Writer
The Red Fox tennis team
took a second consecutive
dual-match loss to Ivy League
power Dartmouth on Saturday
in Hanover, NH. The loss
dropped Marist to 3-2 in dual
match play on the season.
Once again, they fell by a
score of 6-1. Coaches and
players both argue that the
score does not indicate the
overall competitiveness of the
match and the preparedness
gained for conference play.
"We've chosen to take an
aggressive schedule, we're
going to take some losses
along the way," coach Tim
Smith said.
Sophomore Nicolas Pisecky
captured the lone point on the
evening at third singles. He
defeated Justin Tzou, 6-3, and
7-5, rebounding from a three
set loss at Brown. The win
marked his ninth in ten
attempts, and earned him the
honor of MAAC (Metro-
Atlantic-Athletic Conference)
tennis player of the week.
"He's playing the best of
anyone on our team right
now," Smith s~.
"I had a
injury the week
before ;mo I was sick, so I
wasn•{ really sure about my
abilities and chances to win,"
Pisecky said. "I lost my first
match of the season 2 weeks
ago against Brown, so win-
ning again was important for
my confidence level."
Also, sophomore Landon
Greene turned in a strong
per-
formance, dropping a close
match. At fifth singles, Greene
fell 6-4, 7-5 to Chris Ho. The
loss dropped Greene's record
at fifth singles to 4-2.
Marist was swept in doubles,
but Smith was satisfied with
the play of his second and
third doubles teams. Primarily,
at third doubles, Greene and
Pisecky took Ho and Michael
Laser to the absolute limit,
falling 8-7 to Dartmouth's tan-
dem.
Although most matches were
lost on scoreboard, Smith
believes the improvement, or
lack of, is measurable for each
player. He knows every player
won't play their best tennis
match every time they step on
the court. There must be a col-
lective improvement among
everyone so when a couple
players fall, the team still
stands a chance.
"Playing good teams wiU
definitely prepare us for the
MAAC's," Pisecky said.
Between injuri~s and simply
catching 'the Marist cold,'
many players felt below aver-
age. Now, they will take some
much needed time off to con-
centrate on academics before
heading west to California for
a spring break training that
will last from March 14 to 22.
To drop expenses enormous-
ly, the entire team will stay at
the home of Landon Greene,
who hails from Manhattan
Beach, CA. The break and trip
are absolutely critical to their
improvement and mental
strength. The idle period
before the trip gives players
and much needed mental and
physical break. The training
trip will consist
of
six or seven
days of match play with each
other, and even a possible
scrimmage.
Significantly,
Smith and his players will
have an entire week to focus
solely on tennis. Ideally, this
will transform players into
ideal playing form. Upon
returning to Poughkeepsie, the
team will face a 20-day stretch
in. which they will compete in
11 dual matches. A few days
later, the MAAC champi-
onship will be held in Queens,
NY.
Smith constructed this
schedule with the expectation
of competing in the NCAA
tournament. ··Anything short
of MAAC championship and
tournament appearance makes
this season a disappointment,"
he said.
· After their return, Marist will
host a scrimmage on March 25
against Concordia and face
UConn on March 26. Both
matches will start at 3:30 p.m.
and be held at the East
Campus Tennis Pavilion.

Hot start for Marist baseball
By RICH ARLEO
Sports Editor
The Marist baseball team
opened its season with a suc-
cessful weekend at Charleston
Southern, winning two out of
three games.
Marist won the first game on
Friday by a score of 7-4, and
then scored 18 runs in an 18-7
win Saturday, followed by a 4-
3 loss to end the series on
Sunday.
"I think we did a lot of good
things this w~ekend," head
coach Dennis Healy said. ·~we
onlr walked 10 guys on the
weekend. We were ready to go
from the first pitch Friday to
the last pitch Sunday. We were
going full throttle." ·
First game of the season
In
the series opener, senior
left-hander Josh Rickards
started on the mound for
Marist, and got off to about as
good a start as possible, no-
hitting Charleston Southern
through four innings before
allowing a triple with one out
in the fifth. Rickards picked
up the win after six innings of
work. He allowed two hits and
two runs.
Marist broke through for five
runs in the fifth inning, head-
lined by a two-run homerun
by sophomore Ricky Pacione.
Sopfiomore center fielder
Michael Gallic added three
hits, two runs scored and an
RBI in the game, and junior
first baseman Ryan Guack
went 2-2 with a run scored, an
RBI, and three walks as well.
Marist totaled 13 hits in the
win.
"I feel like I can always do
better," Guack said. "It was
the first weekend out and we
haven't played outside since
the fall so it was an adjustment
going outside from being in
the
gym.
I feel like we did
pretty well as a whole. Hitting,
pitching, defense, for the first
time outside it was pretty good
all around."
Offense explodes for 18
On Saturday, Marist's
offense was unstoppable with
19 hits, 10 walks, and 18 runs
on its way to an 11-run victo-
ry.
Richard Cary

Marist after

Mens lax gets set to start season
ByCODY LAHL
Staff Writer
Coming off a difficult and
disappointing season, the
Marist men's lacrosse team
looks to regain its winning
form behind new head coach
Scott Nelson.
"I know I can speak on
behalf of my teammates when
I say that we are all incredibly
excited to have Coach Nelson
on board," junior attackman
Matt Teichmann said. "He's
the exact kind of coach this
program needs right now... I
know 10 years from now
when I see where the program
is, I'm going to be very proud
and happy that I was on the
ground floor of that building."
With more than 20 years of
coaching experience, Nelson
has compiled 211 wins, ECAC
and NCAA Championships,
an undefeated season and
Coach of The Year honors.
Nelson led Nazareth College
to NCAA Division III
Championship victories in
1992, 1996 and 1997, and was
runner-up in 1995 and 1998.
In 15 seasons at Nazareth,
Nelson compiled a career
record of 177-40 and took the
Golden Flyers to 12 NCAA
Tournaments.
"I think it's great to have him
here," said assistant coach
Keegan Wilkinson. "He has
seen a lot of things that the
players need to know and I'm
learning things from him as
well."
Even after the depature of
previous head coach James
Simpson, Wilkinson decided
to remain at Marist for a num-
ber of reasons.
"This is a great place to try
and build a program,"
Wilkinson said.
Nelson will not guarantee
wins or losses but is adamant
that success will come with
playing an intelligent game.
"We are trying to play hard,
play fast and play smart,"
Nelson said.
Marist returns more than 80
percent of an offense that pro-
duced 103 goals last season -
the lowest total since 2002 -
including second team All-
MAAC (Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference) selection
Corey Zindel, Marist's leader
in goals (18), assists (28) and
points ( 46) last season.
The faces of the defense will
remain mostly the same as the
majority of the defense who
helped post the lowest goals
against average (8.78) since
the 2004 season return.
Defenseman James Taylor
III, a second team All-MAAC
selection with Zindel, grabbed
16 groundballs while con-
tributing only eight turnovers.
Marist opens its season at
home on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 1

way to a career-high 20 points
for the Red Foxes.
Seniors Ryan Schneider and
Kaylen Gregory combined for
13 points and 12 rebounds on
Senior Night and were hon-
ored at halftime for their con-
tributions to the team through-
out their careers. David
Devezin also walked at half-
time since he may not receive
his redshirt season because of
complications with his trans-
fer from Texas A&M to San
Jacinto CC before coming to
Marist.
"It was a great night for our
seniors," head coach Chuck
Martin said. "I'm proud of
how our guys responded.
Ryan and Kaylen Gregory, and
obviously David Devezin's
situation is delicate, but I'm
proud of the way the guys took
up the challenge to make sure
our seniors went out the right
way."
After a three-pointer by
Hartford's Morgan Sabia gave
the Hawks a 16-11 lead mid-
way through the first half,
Marist held Hartford without a
field goal for the rest of the
half and took a 25-17 lead at
halftime.
Throughout the second half,
Marist never trailed by less
than 10 points. Hartford was
held to 23 percent shooting for
the game and had 24
turnovers. At times, the game
resembled a three-point con-
test as the teams combined for
59 shots from beyond the arc.
"Anytime you get a win it's
important but this one in par-
ticular because you 're going
on the road the next two
games so you know you're
feeling good about yourself,"
Schneider said. "You got a day
off, you got a week to prepare
for Canisius and you got a
week to prepare for Niagara
so
it's a big win for us."
The team was also happy to
see a crowd of2,300 come out
to support them.
''The crowd kind of died out
in the middle of the season a
little bit," Goodwin said. "But
to see everybody out tonight
and to see some students out
tonight definitely probably
helped us out a little bit."
"I thought it was great to see
the crowd tonight," Schneider
added. "It was nice to see so
much support from the com-
munity. It means a lot, defi-
nitely. To get a win makes it
that much sweeter."
Senior Night marked the last
game
that
Schneider,
Goodwin,
and possi-
bly even
Devezin
will play at
the McCann
Center. For
Schneider,
it was an
emotional
night.
"You defi-
nitely try to
keep look-
ing up at the
clock every
couple of
minutes just
to start
counting
down," he
said. "But it
was great to
win though.
I mean it
