Professor
guilty of child porn possession
By
JOHN RODINO
News Editor
Dr. James Kent, a former Marist
College professor of public ad-
ministration, was found guilty
Tuesday afternoon of 136 counts
of possessing child p(?rnography
in his office in Dyson Hall.
In April 2007, a ResNet worker
assigned to repair Kent's office
computer discovered thousands of
pornographic images of young
children in several files. A state
police investigator testified that he
found more than 50,000 images
and several videos on Kent's home
computer.
Kent had been released on
$10,000 bail for the trial. After the
verdict, he was remanded to prison
on $100,000 bail.
According to state police inves-
tigator Barry Friedman, forensic
software revealed that Kent had
the images on his computer be-
tween May 2005 and April 2007.
Dr. Piema Nakra, a professor of
marketing at Marist, worked with
Kent in the School of Manage-
ment.
"I was definitely surprised. If
you met hiµi you never would
have guessed."
Nakra said that she didn't know
how Kent spent his office hours.
"He spent a good amount of his
time in his office
,.
but I didn
'
t
know what he was doing. I re-
member that he went on a leave of
absence, but the faculty wasn't no-
tified of the situation," Nakra said.
Matt Reiman, a Marist senior
and former SGA Speaker of the
Senate, said he also worked with
Kent and expressed his shock.

votes were
cast in the student body elec-
tions. With the ballots counted
it was juniors Steve Townsend
and Victoria Billeter who came
out on top as the new student
body president and executive
vice p
_
resident, respectively.
Townsend was thrilled with the
number of students who voted in
the election, "It's really exciting to
have been elected and I'm really
grateful for all of the people who
voted for me," Townsend said,
"but I'm even more I'm grateful

these numbers from growing any
higher.
According to Kyle Shepherd, an
organizer of this year's event, the
theme for the event is: 'Celebrate,
Remember, Fight Back'."
"[We will] celebrate the lives of
survivors, remember those lost to
the disease, and fight
-
back against
what has taken too much," Shep-
herd said.
Event organizers will attempt to
raise $50,000, which will help to
fight cancer through greater re-
search. The event is also intended
to get more of the 11 million can-
cer survivors in the United States,
involved in the fight against can-
cer.
"It's important for students to get
involved in Relay for Life because
almost everyone in their life knows
someone who has battled cancer,"
said Erik Zeyher, student body
president. "Relay for Life is our
chance to fundraise to show sup-
port for those in our life who have
or had cancer. More importantly,
students can be a part of this to
honor those they have lost with the
hopes that they will find a cure to
this disease."
At this point, the relay has 98
participants and 18 teams.
It
has
raised more than $3,500.
"On a personal note, one of my
friends lost his mother when she
battled breast cancer for a second
time," Zeyher said. "Everyone has
a different reason for being in-
volved in Relay, that's one of
mine."

that cancer rates were up to 13
times higher in some counties
than neighboring ones. Dr.
Campbell and his team of hun-
dreds of doctors from all over
the world examined the sam-
ples. They found that the peo-

the highest cancer rates con-

the lowest rates occurred in

be contested. Despite his ini-
tial victory for a 2006

contest,
government officials rebuffed
Colbert because he could not
speak Hungarian, nor was he
deceased.
Colbert also unsuccessfully
attempted in 2007 to get him-
self on the Democratic and
Republican primary ballots for
his native state of South
Carolina. He did not qualify
for the Republican primary
because he missed the dead-
line. Ori the other side of the

more diverse programming,
allowing for better communi-
cation with SGA as a liaison
between the administration
and the student body."
"We want students to go to
their floor representatives who
will report student concerns to
the RSC presidents and then
they'll come to us," Towsend
said. "Ultimately we want the
Student Government door to
become a revolving door - we
want this room to always be
full of people coming to us
with their concerns."
In order to g~t Student
Government officials out to
the students, Townsend wants
to utilize his research and sur-
vey committee. ''I think stu-
dents should be polled weekly
on what they think of issues
,
"
Townsend said. "And I really
want students to know who we
are so that they feel comfort-
able coming into office
hours."

Mari st fosters nationally acclaimed sports writer
.
.
By ALLISON BURKE
Staff Writer
The best thing to happen to
Marist
'86
alum, two-time
named number one sports
columnist in America by the
Associated
Press
Sports
Editors and New York Times
bestselling
author,
Ian
O'Connor, was speaking to
former freshman faculty advi-
sor David McCraw, Vice
President
and
Assistant
General Counsel of
The New
York Times,
O'Connor had no idea what
.
he wanted to be, but he liked
sports and did well in his writ-
ing courses. So, McCraw told
O'Connor to put his two inter-
ests together and start writing
for
The Circle.
He wanted to be a columnist
before he was 29. Now, he
writes for the most vibrant
marketplace in New York.
O'Connor is the voice of the
sports section at
The Bergen
Record
and one of many
national sport~ columnist with
FOXSports.com.
O'Connor has a give-and-
take relationship with his edi-
tors. At FOXSports.com, his
(:Olumn ideas appeal to a
broad based audience on a
national forum. However,
The
Bergen Record
has a specific
market.
"Interesting
to say the least,"
O'Connor said when The
Bergen Record assigned him
to cover the N.Y. Giants the
week wide receiver Plaxico
Burress shot himself. He had
just finished submitting a col-
lege football column for
FOXSports.com describing
Pete Carroll's ideal position as
University
of
Southern
California head coach.
The Burress story reveals the
societal ills outside of sports.
Sports journalism is still inter-
esting when it has nothing to
do with the score
oJ.the
game.
O'Connor
shows
readers
Burress the human being ver-
sus the wide receiver.
"Writing about the human
condition stokes my passion,"
O'Connor said.
When he was 24 years old,
O'Connor was a clerk at
The
New York nmes.
He was hired
to write for
The National,
the
first newspaper devoted to
sports, by
Sports Illustrated
senior writer Frank Deford.
When
The
·
National
folded
after 18 months, O'Connor
survived the industry by free-
lancing for
The New York
nmes
and fulfilling openings
with
The Daily News
and
USA
Today.
Maintaining two full time
jobs, O'Connor worked on
writing "The Jump" and
New
York limes
bestseller,
"Arnie
& Jack: Palmer, Nicklaus, and
Golf's Greatest Rivalry,"
O'Connor's first book, "The
Jump," will always have a
special place in his heart. He
learned a lot through his mis-
takes. O'Connor used more of
his voice in the second book.
He was fully committed
·
to
getting to as many people as
he possibly could by inter-
viewing over 200 sources, but
he was challenged to reduce
clutter.
O'Connor wrote "Amie &
Jack" from reruns of inter-
views.

to
O'Connor, instead of using

too many direct quotes that
hurt a story's narrative, jour-
nalists should paraphrase mul-
tiple sources.
"Great writing is based on
great information," he said.
"Always make the extra phone
call."
Reporters must present accu-
rate information and as many
details as possible. O'Connor
suggests talking to as many
people as humanly possible to
uncover details.
O'Connor is fortunate
_
there
is still a demand for writing.
He plans to have at least a few
more books published.
"Two is not enough," said
O'Connor.
O'Connor "didn't fall
asleep" when asked what he
would change throughout his
career. He wants to write out-
side of sports. But he loved
Marist and would not change
his experience. O'Connor is
proud to hear Marist's reputa-
tion .is getting better every
year.
There is still a need for writ-
.
ing. O'Connor says that while
the format of journalism's
future remains to be seen,
newspapers are engrained in
society to last longer than crit-
ics predict.
"I would hate to see the day
where newspapers become
obsolete," said O'Connor.
The Election Day phenome-
non showed how print still
preserves history better than
technology.
Journalism is based on per-
formance, said O'Connor. He
suggests young journali&ts get
as many reps as possible
because that is the only way to
improve. The industry wants
to see what writ~rs can do by
their body of work. All stu-
dents should work on their
craft before entering the
industry.
The Circle
provided
a
plat-
form for O'Connor to practice
his craft, encouraged by
Marist
faculty
~dvisor
Mccraw. Answering
a
young
reporter's questions for almost
an hour, O'Connor continues
the .generosity of ~pirit in
sports journalism.
Do you have something to
.
share with the Marist
.
community?
Feel like you have advice to
give or want to
highlight an interesting
person on campus?
Have you discovered a new
game or sport and want to
tell someone about it?

My lif~ as a New York City intern:
Some
networking tips to battle real world
intimidation
By
KELLY LAUTURNER
Staff Writer
Last week, I focused on net-
working with other company
employees as an intern (get-
ting connected). I cannot
stress this enough
j
but
net-
working is key. Since spring
break, I have been making a
conscious effort to meet new
people and say
.
hello to them
as much as possible.
I'm not going to lie, it's not
always easy, but it is important
for getting to know your fel-
low employees. People will
actually get to know you.
While it seems easy to just
blend into the wall as an
intern, you will be easily for-
gotten. Here,
I
offer some sto-
ries
about
my
low-key
approach to networking.
One great place to make
friends is in the lunch,room.
Everyone has to eat, so they
will be down there at some
point. And for the most part,
people don't like to eat alone.
We have a pretty decent cafe-
teria at work. But like any
cafeteria, if you 're not eating
with someone it can be a little
lonely. If I have homework to
do, I don't have a problem
b
_
ringing some reading down
to the cafeteria arid finding a
quiet table by the window.
But there are some times
when we can all agree, it's
nice to have someone to talk
to. A lot of my lunch friends
were away while I interned
over spring break, and the
cafeteria was so packed I
headed up to my floor's
kitchen to eat one day. The
area was
.empcy
except for. the
occasional coffee drinker.
Sidenote: getting coffee is
also a great time to introduce
yourself to someone. Last
week, I was trying to get the
hot water to come out of the
machine to make tea. After a
few attempts, I asked the guy
waiting behind me if he knew
what to do. He helped me find
the button for hot water, and I
got tea and a new friend out of
the experience
. ,
'
I looked over a magazine
while I ate my meal that day. I
was so engrossed in an article
I almost didn't notice when a
guy came over and sat a few
seats away
.
He turned on
.
the
TV
(yes, there is a
TV
in the
kitchen) and was looking for
some baseball scores. We got
to talking about NCAA bas-
ketball, and our friendship
began: I've eaten in the
kitchen with him and some
other people I was introduced
to several times since then. I
feel comfortable to talking
with them and chatting during
lunch, which is really great.
The other story is about
how I made
.
friends with other
interns. All the interns in my
department work on different
projects and divisions-, but we
all sit in the same area. One
day, I was let oout early, and
the intern sitting next to me
was leaving. We took a walk
to the train station together
and got to talk. I never thought
a simple thing like a walk
could gain a friend.
·
I also got to chat with
another intern when we ended
up together in the elevator one
day. If you can just find out
s~meone's school and name,
that is a great
·
start. Having
another person to say "Hi" to
in the hallway is just a good
feeling.

Kevin began his freshman
year as a walk-on to the crew
team.
"Crew has made a really big
difference in my life," he said.
He believes that because of
crew he learned self discipline
at an early point
in
his college
experience. He realized that
getting a good night's rest
before a crew race was more
important than partying all the
last semester. As well as
tak-
ing a summer class and AP
classes, he went abroad on a
winter session to Germany, in
which he was able to fulfill 9
credits in total, giving him the
opportunity to relax a bit more
during his final semester. He is
taking sailing, golf and life-
guard training as fun elective
courses.
The summer after his junior
year, Kevin interned at Empire
Financial Group on Long
Island, where he learned the
methods and techniques of
stockbroking. In the beginning
of the- summer, the company
had nearly 20 interns, and by
the end, Kevin and one other
intern remained. This intern-
ship built him great network-
ing connections which has
brought him to his job after
graduation as a stock broker.
The brokers he worked under
switched firms and Kevin is
transferring with them to
Obsidian Financial Group.
Kevin's transition into
Spring Semester has really
been like a transition from col-
lege to the real world. He has
made plans and goals to fulfill
along the way and has
achieved many of them
already
.
Creating a
.
plan for
yourself is
one
of the best
things you can do to stay
focused and organized.
"The last semester is a dif-
ferent feeling because you're
no longer planning out future
semesters
and
courses.
Everything is coming to an
end so you try to get in as
much as you possibly can. It's
all about taking in the experi-
ence."
When asked about his col-
lege
experiences,
Kevin
believes that he has fulfilled
everything he wanted to do.
He maintained his grades,
while participating in a sport
and holding down a job. The
only thing he wishes he did
differently would be to go
abroad for a full semester, as
he advises underclassmen to
seriously consider the abroad
expetjence.
Kevin's advice for under-
classmen is to start looking for
a job as soon as possible.
Forming connections early is
one of the best things young
people can do, because finding
jobs is all about C011Qections.
He also stresses that every-
one should keep a contact
book, especially when form-
ing resumes. What Kevin is
most excited about is gradua-
tion. He has plans for traveling
as well as focusing on his
career. However, there are cer-
tain things he will miss about
Marist, specifically, "having
everything I need within walk-
ing distance."
Kevin bas built himself a
great life here which he will be
sad to depart from, although
he is anxious for what the
future holds.

his own take, showing dresses

Even Marc

color. Blouses, coats, dresses

"Golor is good when people

Bob Dylan "Beyond Here

of amazing; what's truly
remarkable about this new
one is
it takes old styles and
somehow makes them sound
new and original.
Laced with
Delta-blues licks, accordion,
organ,
and horns, this track
would
easily
fit
into
Starbucks' playlist. Rolling

called the sound
''a
seductive border-cafe feel,"
which nails the
vibe
right on
the
head.

only
original member of the

Praxivists:
Students partaking in global issues
By ROBIN MINITER
Photography Editor
In the midst of spring fever
frenzy and debates over hot
Tuesday night destinations, a
small rumble of revolution
brews in Fontaine 104: cue the
Praxivists. With their inspir~d
minds and determined hearts,
this small group of students is
changing
the world one day at
a time.
"
College should not only
teach you to think and to ques-
tion," says
Mike
Napolitano, a
sophomore political science
major, "but also how to
become a global citizen
.
"
Founded in 1993 by
Dr.
Mar
Peter-Raoul of the Religious
Studies
Department,
and
Resident
Sociologist
Dr.
Bruce Luske, the Marist
Public Praxis Project for
Public/Global
Citizenship
brings together course and
public work in order to emu-
late Martin Luther King Jr. 's
idea of a common "beloved
community" -
one that,
according to the co-project-
keepers, supports human dig-
nity, socio-political and eco-
nomic justice; and the well
being of each human being.
Through the interdiscipli-
nary Public Praxis Minor, stu-
dents are taught to
think
out-
side of the classroom via an
academic-based integration of
scholarship coupled
with at-
site
experience.
At the founda-
tion lies the goal for social-
transformation. According to
Peter-Raoul, "shifts in con-
sciousness are both anticipat-
ed and a motivation [ of the
Project.]"
.
Roughly
400
students
par-
take in a praxis-oriented proj-
ect or class (including the core
Social Inequality with Dr.
Luske) each semester, while
between 10-15 students offi-
cially
have
the
project
declared as their minor. An
even smaller group of praxis
activists - the self-proclaimed
"Praxivists," - meet on a regu-
lar basis to play out their
visions and aspirations for a
better world.
"Praxis is so powerful
because it brings together
active public work with intel-
lectual curiosity, empathy,
research, and critical reflec-
tion,"
says
Peter-Raoul.
"It
is
academically based and advo-
cacy inspired.
As
Dr.
Luske
says, 'it's about heads, hearts,

Tough schedule ahead for Red Foxes
By JIM URSO
Staff Writer
After returning from a spring
break training trip to L.A., the
Marist men's tennis team
began their
·
surge toward
another MMC title Sunday.
With their 7-0 victory over
conference foe Niagara, the
Red Foxes began a grimacing
schedule in which they will
play 7 matches within a 9 day
span.
Marist opened their first
MAAC match of the spring
season with three doubles vic-
tories. Junior captain Christian
Coley and sophomore Rhys
Hobbs prevailed at first dou-
bles over Joe Heckley and
Steve Kopf, 8-4.
Sophomore Landon Greene
and senior Antonio Oliver tri-
umphed at third
doubles
with
a win over Marc

and Nick Bolea, 8-3.
"The training over the break
I think 'really prepared us well
to play for that match and the
rest of the matches as we head
into the MAAC tournament,"
Greene said.
"We'.re still not happy with
where we are," said Coach
Tim Smith regarding doubles.
He plans to change and exper-
iment with different doubles
pairs.

defeated Dickinson at first sin-

is
opti--
mistic and predicts a return in
the next couple days.
The entire roster bunked
with Greene's parents in L.A.
for spring break training trip.
The goal was to uplift players
from their regular environ-
ment and provide them a place
to focus
on
tennis and relax
mentally. With the road to

Coach Healy knows that the
Red Fox offense will have to
be
on top of its game against
Manhattan, who lead the
MAAC in hitting with a
.350
team batting average.
"Manhattan's
hitting," Healy
said.
"It's
going to be a
test
for
us.
They've
got a lot of right
hander's so our right hander's
with sliders have to be able to
locate inside on their right
hander's and spin some break-
ing balls up there."
Healy and his team are con-
fident that th~y match up well
with Manhattan's pitching,
and can definitely .do some
damage offensively in the
series.
Marist will look to Ricky
Pacione and Nugent to contin-
ue to hit and drive
in
runs. The
duo leads Marist with batting
averages of .390 and .347
average respectively. They
have combined to drive in
4.9
runs, aµd will need to keep it
up and get help from the rest
of the offense in order for the
team to continue its recent
success.
"They have two right han-
ders that start and our lineup
should be able to take care of
them, so I like the matchup,"
Healy said. "If we play well,
we play defense, and we get
some pitching, we'll be fine.
Just like anything else it all
starts on the mound.
If
we get
good pitching we'll be in busi-
ness.
ed. Smith had the team prac-
tice between 9:30 a.m.-12
p.m., break for lunch, and pro-
ceed to match play with each
other and members of a local
tennis club from 2 to
5
p.m.
After practice, players were
able to relax and enjoy the
comfortable weather condi-
tions.
"It was great to be with the
family and have all of the guys
at my house;" Greene said. We
were able to
do
a
little sight~
seeing around LA and go to
the beach."
Smith was impressed with
his team's work and the over-
all success of .the trip.
''We enjoyed the home
cooked meals and excellent
training conditions," Smith
said, who was as excited about
the accommodation as he was
with his team's progress_. "As
long as Landon Greene's on
this team, we're going to L.A.
for our spring break training
trip."
"The hard work we did in
California prepared us very
well for the upcoming match-
es," Sessagesimi said.
Smith remains encouraged
about his team's position in
the MAAC, but he continues
to hold players to a high stan-
dard of improvement.
The Red Foxes host two
matches
this
weekend.
Saturday they square off
against MAAC opponent St.
Peters and will face Loyola
Sunday. This provides a
unique chance for students to
come out and support their
nationally competitive tennis
program. First serve is sched-
ule for 11 a.m. Saturday.

The Marist women's
lacrosse team was dominating
·
offensively, controlling time
of possession and ripping shot
after shot against Iona. With
each shot, however, came
another miss, and it looked as
though the Red Foxes would
never catch a break.
Then the defense got
involved.
After yet another missed
shot, the Red Foxes marked up
·
defensively and locked down
on the Gaels, closing off pass-
ing lanes and leaving Iona
goalie Colleen Magri with
nowhere to pass the ball.
Halfway through the first
half,
senior attack Kate
Noftsker
knocked
down
Magri's
ill-advised
pass,
scooped
up the groundball,
and buried the open shot. The
first goal of the game lifted the
Red Foxes out of their early
offensive slump and sent them
on their way to an 11-7 win
·
over the Gaels on Sunday,
March 29.
"We knew finally once we
got that first goal, then every-
thing kind of fell into place,"
said Noftsker, who led Marist
with four goals.
A game that had the makings
of a blowout early on was kept
close due in large part to
Marist's misfires in the begin-
ning of the first half.
"We were making the goalie
look like an absolute all-star,"
said senior midfielder <:;ristin
Begley.
After that first goal, Marist's
offense started to capitalize,
taking a 7-4 lead into halftime
and not allowing Iona to get
closer than three goals in the
second half.
Despite the missed opportu-
nities in the beginning, the
Red Foxes did not put their
heads down and get discour-
aged.
"That was the best part [ not
getting
frustrated],"
said
.
Marist Head Coach Laura
Campbell. "That was pretty
impressive to me, that they
didn't get frustrated."
Seven players had one goal
apiece for Marist, in addition
to Noftsker's four goals, while
freshman Kelsey Thorns made
eight saves in goal. Thorns
was named MAAC Rookie of
the Week after making 26
saves as the Red Foxes went
2-1 over the last week.
Streak
The week after spring break
included a record-breaking
win and a streak-ending loss
for the Red Foxes. Marist won
its fourth consecutive game, a
program record, with a 15-11
victory
·
over Siena on March
25, but lost its winning streak
with a 14-12 defeat at the
hands of Manhattan on March
27.
Senior midfielder Stephanie
Garland had 12 points in the
two games, while Noftsker
and junior midfielder Lauren
Ciccarello totaled four goals
apiece. Thoms stopped 18
shots over that stretch.
Looking Ahead
Marist begins a difficult
three-game stretch against
Fairfield,
Colgate,
and
Bucknell, which boast a com-
bined record of 25-8 this sea-
son. The Red Foxes travel to

·
on
Saturday by keeping Canisius,
the preseason favorite in the
MAAC, scoreless for the first
seven innings as the Marist
baseball team was able to-take
two out of three from the
Golden Griffins.
Marist won 2-1 in the first
game of a doubleheader on
Saturday in 11 innings, and
then finished off the nightcap
with a 6-5 win. The Red Foxes
couldn't pull off the sweep
though, and dropped the final
game of the series, 18-0.

in
Win
Josh Rickards pitched 7.1
innings only allowing one
earned run for Marist in the
first game of the series. He
struck out four and only
allowed
three
hits,
but
Marist's offense kicked in too
late to give him a victory.
"Josh Rickards was awe-
some in game one... as good
as I've ever seen him," head
coach Dennis Healy said. "He
had a great bullpen session
this past week and it carried
over into the game. The
biggest thing that Josh has
always run into is getting
ahead with his fastball to kind
of control the sequence and he
did that 95 percent on the time
Saturday. He was in total con-
trol from pitch one. If he does
that every weekend, nobody in
our conference will beat him."
The offense may have been
too late to get Rickards a win,
but in the 11th inning, a Bryce
Nugent ground out with the
bases loaded scored freshman
shortstop Jon Schwind with
the go-ahead run, and Eric
Alessio closed out· the game
for his first save of the season.
Foxes overcome early deficit
In game two of the double-
header, Marist fell behind 5-2
early in the game. Lockdown
relief pitching from Peter
Barone and Jake Rifkin
gave the offense the time
it needed to get going,
and an RBI single by
