Marist inherits
$75
Inillion
By
ANDREW OVERTON
Managing Editor
In
arguably the biggest announce-
ment in the history of the college,
Marist will be expanding its campus
to a $65 million mansion and river-
front estate on the west side of the
Hudson.
The 60 acre property in the Ulster
County Town of Esopus was left to
Marist College when wealthy busi-
nessman, Raymond
A.
Rich, passed
away in June, President Dennis
Murray announced Wednesday.
The property, coupled with a $10
million endowment, makes this $75
million gift the largest in Marist
history. Previously, the largest gift
was $5 million. Rich's gift will lead
to the development of a new pro-
gram to educate and train individu-
als in the art of leadership for
careers in business, government
and the nonprofit sector.
The Raymond
A.
Rich Institute for
Leadership Development will be
housed in the 42,000 square foot
"Payne Mansion" on the Esopus es-
tate adjacent to the Marist Brothers
property, approximately 20 minutes
from Poughkeepsie.

Campus prepares for swine flu outbreak
BY KRISTEN DOMONELL
News
Editor
Swine flu has been hitting colleges
across the country hard, and though
Marist has had only two suspected
cases, the college has been gearing up
for a possible outbreak.
campus
According
to Dr. Mary
Dunne,directorofhealth
services, the office has had two stu-
dents test positive for Influenza A,
presumably the HlNl strain com-
monly referred to as swine flu. One
was diagnosed last Tuesday, the
other during the first week of school.
Both students went home to recover.
''In each case, we offered prescrip-
tion antiviral treatment to the stu-
dent and preventive treatment to
roommates, with the goal of prevent-
ing an outbreak," Dunne said.
She said these two cases are sus-
pected to be the HlNl strain of In-
fluenza A because they occurred
outside the normal flu season, but
testing for the strain is only done on
those ill enough to be hospitalized.
There have also been many non-flu
cases of sore throats and viral ill-
nesses on campus.
Health Services has been getting
updates from the Center for Disease
Control (CDC) and has been coordi-
nating with the Dutchess County De-
partment of Health to decide what
protocols to follow in terms of pre-
venting more students from being
af-
fected.
Dunne said anyone who is sick
should stay home from classes, work,
practice and other public activities,
and that the college's policy is that
faculty should not request excuse
notes of students who have missed
classes, "as this exposes more people
to potential illness and diverts re-
sources from providing care."
She also recommends students get
vaccinated against both seasonal in-
fluenza and HiNl.
As
long as the
HlNl vaccine becomes available to
the college by mid-October, both vac-
cines will be available for $10 each
during flu clinic in October and No-
vember.
CNN reported last Friday that CDC
officials expect 3.4 million inhalable
doses of the HlNl vaccine to be avail-
able in the first week of October.
These
will be the first available of a
total of 195 million doses that have 65 years of age and older, a CDC

Mldrlse mlschl,t lands sophs In first place
By
CHRIS RAIA
I've always believed that it's much
easier
to learn from mistakes
if
you
first learn
to laugh at them. That's
why this article exists - to show us
that everybody messes up every
once in a while. So instead of dealing
with regrets, let's have
fun with it.
That being said, a point system
has
been implement.ed. Here's how it's
going to work. Every residential
building is now in competition
against each other; points are
awarded based on the inevitable
stupidity of each building's tenants.
Here's a quick summary:
10
points
for hard liquor confiscations, 1 point
for every individual can of beer con-
fiscated,
5
points for a cooking mal-
function fire alarm, and 15 points
for a hospital visit Those are just
the basics. Bonuses will be arbitrar-
ily distributed, so feel free to do
something original and surprise me.
I hope this idea works because my
ultimate goal is for somebody to
wake up in the morning after the
worst night of their lives and say "at
least our building is in the lead
now." Best of luck to all of you.

Ray1nond A. Rich Institute
from Poughkeepsie.
According to a prepared state-
ment, "The Raymond A. Rich In-
stitute will focus on developing
the communication, interpersonal
and social skills necessary to lead
complex organizations in a global
setting."
The Esopus estate and Beaux
Arts-style palazzoat mansion will
host "speakers, conferences and
workshops to encourage potential
leaders to become better at moti-
vating others through considera-
tion and persuasion and to foster
dedication to a better social and
economic environment."
Although the inansion will serve
as the physical leadership insti-
tute, Murray said, "The insti-
tute's programs can be conducted
at the estate, on campus, at our
branch campus in Florence or
elements," said Carlson.
Rich was born in Los Angeles,
CA, on Jan. 11, 1912 to Arthur
and Lucy Baker Rich. He was
raised in Des Moi~es, Iowa, and
started his career by hiring on to
a tramp freighter for a job in the
engine room at age 18. After re-
ceiving
a
double engineering de-
gree from Iowa State University,
he was hired in the midst of the
Great Depression by General
Electric Co. and became its
youngest national sales manager
at that time.
He volunteered for active serv-
ice in the Navy and Marines dur-
ing World War II. After the war,
Rich became Vice President and

anywhere in the world . through
the Internet."
Murray hopes to have initial
programming in place by 2010.
A few years ago, Rich began
thinking about leaving a leader-
ship training legacy in his estate,
according to Claire Carlson, Mr.
Rich's long-time companion and
confidante and the executrix of
the estate.
"He wanted it to have a special
niche, focused on people's percep-
tions - voice, body language, pres-
entation, etc. as an integral part
of expressing integrity, sensitiv-
ity, relationships, first impres-
sions, lasting trustfulness, and
respect for others," said Carlson
in a prepared statement.
Following the purchase of the
Payne Mansion from the Marist
Brothers in 1986, Mr. Rich and
Ms. Carlson were introduced to
Murray.
"It didn't take Ray long to real-
ize that Dennis and Marist Col-
lege were the ideal conduit for his
personal quest to ignite his lead-
ership concept. Ray believed
ethics, values, humility and
thoughtfulness must be inherent
in leadership training as primary
off.
He held CEO and chairman po-
sitions of multiple companies si-
multaneously. The sectors ranged
from oil and gas exploration and
production, publishing, glass con-
tainers, and banks to environ-
mental
engineering
and
production facilities. Under Rich's
leadership in the 1970s, U.S. Fil-
ter Corp.'s revenues increased
twenty-fold.
The Payne mansion was built by
Colonel Oliver Hazard Payne, a
brigadier general in the Civil War
who founded an oil refinery that
was later bought by John D. Rock-
efeller's Standard Oil Co., where
Payne went on to serve as treas-
urer. In 1998, American Heritage
Magazine listed Payne at number
26 on a list of the "forty wealthi-
est Americans of all time."
Inside the mansion, visitors will
find a high a vaulted Dutch gold
ceiling, a white marble stairway,
mythological murals, silk-lined
walls, and many other luxuries.

Faculty plans to beat
swine flu with iLearn
By
AMANDA LAVERGNE
News Editor
Along with Health Services pre-
vention and concern of a swine flu
outbreak at Marist, Thomas Wer-
muth, the dean of academic af-
fairs has been working with Josh
Bar.on, the head of academic tech-
nology to make iLearn a more
useful tool in the event of an out-
break on campus.
"We want faculty members to be
able to post homework, course
material, missed exams and pos-
sibly even have online discussions
between the students and the pro-
fessors," Baron said. "We want it
to be able to minimize disruption
in classes."
Baron also explained that iLearn
would be useful if a teacher was
ill and could not make it to class.
Baron and Wermuth began talk-
ing abmit this plan over the sum-
mer, due to the growing concern
about swine flu in the fall and
coming winter months.
"We chose this method because
it was the recommendation of the
Center for Disease Control for
schools of higher education to de-
velop plans using distance learn-
ing technologies," Wermuth said.
Although most tenured profes-
sors know at least the basics of
iLearn, many adjunct professors
do not and training for these pro-
fessors is what both Baron and
Wermuth have been pushing for.
"Our major focus right now is
making sure all teachers have
training on the iLearn system,"
Baron said.
Since adjunct professors typi-
cally work other full time jobs,
Marist is now offering a Saturday
workshop as well as evening ones
to ensure that everyone is
trained.
"Within the past 48 hours of
posting a sign up for a Saturday
class, 20 faculty members have al-
ready responded which is great to
see," Baron said.
Students agree that this method
would be very useful.
"It's good to see that Marist is
taking initiative," said junior Lisa
Odoardi, "I know that if I was sick
enough to miss classes I would
not want to get far behind and
this would be an easy way to keep
up."
Wermuth explained how he and
Baron collaborated to get this
iLearn push going.
"The Academic Technology area
under Mr. Baron's authority rou-
tinely collaborates with the Aca-
demic Affairs area on projects.
Since the CDC had recommended
distance learning and that is
something we do very well at
Marist, it made perfect sense for
the institution to develop contin-
gency plans in case there is a dis-
ruption
to
our
normal
operations," Wermuth said. "We
have worked together to encour-
age faculty who have not used
iLearn to develop at least a basic
familiarity with it."
Baron made sure to stress that
all of this has simply stemmed
from precaution, and that swine
flu is not a sincere threat right
now at Marist.
"I just want to make it clear
that this is b~ing done out of an
abundance of caution," Baron
said. "No event has taken place;
we are just simply following the
guidelines."

Dining Advisory Committee hears concerns over cafeteria hours
By KATELYNN WALSH
Circle Contributor
The Student Government Associ-
ation (SGA) is attempting to re-
solve the many issues that have
been reported by students about
the late opening time and early
closing time of the Marist resident
dining h1:l.ll on weekends.
The current hours of operation
for the Marist Resident Dining
Hall are Monday through Thurs-
day from 7:30 a.m.to 8 p.m., Friday
from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday
and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Many students report that the
later opening time on Saturdays
and Sundays negatively affect
their day. These students claim
that their early work schedules,
athletic commitments and the
weekend dining hours do not coor-
dinate well.
A select group of students, such
as athletes have an issue with the
hours because during season they
often have early morning lifts,
practice or matches. On weekends,
there are continental breakfast
hours from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and
hot food selections don't begin until
11 a.m.
"Sometimes, before an early prac-
tice or game, you want a good
breakfast to give you energy. The
fact that we don't even have that
option on weekends is tough" said
junior Eric Chaves, a member of
the men's soccer team.
"There are definitely other op-
tions available for students during
later hours on weekend nights
such as the Cabaret and
Hudson River Valley Quadricentennial
Conference:
September 25 through 27, the
Hudson River Valley Institute
(HRVI) will host a conference,
"New York's 400 Years: Celebrat-
ing America's First River, the Hud-
son." The conference, part of the
state's Hudson-Fulton-Champlain
Quadricentennial Celebration, will
feature keynote speakers, panel
sessions, receptions and a play
about Henry Hudson. Topics of the
conference include the significance
of the Hudson River; Dutch-Amer-
Jazzman's" said Andrew Paulsen,
sophomore residence senator and
member of the Marist College Din-
ing
Advisory
Committee
(MCDAC).
The Cabaret is open until 12:30
a_.m. on weekends and Jazzman's is
opened until 1:00 a;m. These other
venues that are available to stu-
dents at later hours accept thrifty
cash along with Marist Money
which help prevent students from
digging into their own pockets.
The issue with extending hours in
the dining hall is that there is a
cost related to labor because ex-
tended hours call for more hours
for dining hall employees.
"The reason we have not ex-
tended weekend hours to as early
as 7:30a.m. is because there is not
a high demand at that time," said
Steve Sansola, associate dean of
student affairs, and co-chair of
MCDAC.
There are certainly some stu-
dents who are up at that time,
however,
a low number of students
will use the dining hall at such
early hours. Extending an hour
and a half would be costly. Sansola
said that perhaps a solution to this
problem could be opening the
Cabaret earlier. To do this, only a
staff of one or two people would be
needed, instead of numerous em-
ployees in the dining hall.
"If
people have a problem with
something in the dining hall, I
want them to come find me. They
can e-mail me, call me, anything. I
just want to know about any prob-
lems, and I will be able to bring it
up to the proper people who can

Marist Poll reports:
The good news for Sen. Kirsten
Gillibrand is more voters in New
York are familiar with what she is
doing in the U.S. Senate. The bad
news, however, is that it all does-
n't translate into a higher job ap-
proval rating.
26 pe cent of the statewide elec-
torate view Gillibrand as doing an
excellent or good job in office, and 9
percent believe she is perf(?rming
poorly. 27 percent are not sure
how to rate her. In Marist's July
survey, a similar proportion, 24
percent, gave Gillibrand a thumbs-
up, 13 percent thought she was
doing poorly in office, and 33 per-
cent weren't quite sure how to an-
swer the question. This adds up to
a bump in Gillibrand's fair ra:ting

Welcome back to reality, Amer-
ica's team. A very sobering loss to
the New York Giants in its inaugu-
ral regular season game at the new
Cowboys stadium may have
knocked Dallas and owner Jerry
Jones down a few pegs on the ego
ladder.
The $1.2 billion monstrosity of a
stadium that Jones was responsible
for planning the construction of set
a National Football League regular
season attendance record, with a
crowd of 105,121 people this past
Sunday.
Although the city of Arlington
may embrace their new public
structure, it certainly came at a
cost. Residents of the city were sub-
ject to a sales tax increase, a park-
ing tax, and increased taxes on hotel
rooms and rental cars.
My main concern with the build-

Sports Editor Philip Terrigno gives his take,
alternating between world events and sports.
ing of this stadium-and there are
many-are all based around the
precedents that it has set.
It is said that only seven percent
of NFL fans ever step foot into an
NFL stadium, and the Cowboys cer-
tainly aren't helping with an aver-
age ticket price of $160 (A 90
percent increase from last season).
Also, shame on NFL commissioner
Roger Goodell for not forcing the
Cowboys to alter the set up of the
enormous 160-foot long, 90-foot high
TV screen that is suspended from
the ceiling after a Tennessee Titan's
punter hit the screen in a recent
preseason game. Not forcing the
Cowboys to move this screen is sure
to cause unnecessary drama and de-
bate if another punt strikes it as the
season progresses.
Please don't even get me started
on the 'cage dancers' that are fea-
tured at their arena, as commenta-
tor Al Michael's so eloquently
described them.
Anyone who tuned into the broad-
MARK HEARD/FLICKR.COM
cast of the Giants vs. Cowboys game
is certainly familiar with what I am
referring to. These dancing per-
formers, all scantily clad women,
are suspended on numerous round,
caged platforms that are situated
above the fans throughout the sta-
dium.
I thought that this sport couldn't
possibly get anymore sexist until I
heard an extremely off color com-
ment made by Michael's broadcast
partner, Cris Collinsworth, who
noted, "For the fans who are in the
cheap seats standing behind (the
dancers), everyone gets some enter-
tainment."
With both New York football
teams getting wins in week two of
the NFL season, it's easy
to
forget
that baseball is still in season.
Although the same can't be said
for the team in Flushing, some ex-
cellent baseball is being played in
the Bronx as the Yankees prepare
to make the playoffs for the 14th
time in 15 years.
As
of this week, C.C. Sabathia has
posted a 3-0 record with an aston-
ishing 1.61 earned run average
(ERA) in the month of September.
The question is, can New York's
big lefty continue to dazzle in Octo-
ber? Joba Chamberlain can be sub-
ject
to
50 different rules regarding
his innings pitched, but none of
them will matter if he continues to
get shelled like he did in his most
recent outing against Seattle.

Obama Overexposed:
How much Is
too
much?
By DEANNA GILLEN
Opinion Editor
Sitting at my desk this Monday
mMning, reading The New York
Times with my morning coffee, I
can't help but notice the focal
point of yesterday's news cover-
age ... Obama, Obama, Obama.
According to The New York
Times, Obama sat for interviews
with ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and
Univision, with an appearance
on the "The Late Show with
David Letterman" scheduled for
Monday night, unabashedly
pumping his Health Care Plan
to anyone that seemed willing to
listen.
According to The New York
Times, no other president has
been a guest on that many Sun-
day Talk shows at once. It was
pure Obama double, or perhaps
triple, vision. It's not exactly
shocking, considering Obama
seems to have feelers in every
aspect of the media, tweeting
one minute, and streaming
speeches from his Facebook the
next. I must have at least 15 e-
mails in my inbox from Mitch
Stewart and Barack Obama
from last week alone. Could this
be a case of "Obama Overex-
posed?" Well, perhaps so.
It didn't start just last week-
end. Obama has been following
this pattern throughout his
young presidency. He was the
first sitting president to appear
on the "Tonight Show." What
was once unheard of, Obama
has made a common occurrence
in his presidency. His appear-
ance last March was called "a
rare personal visit by a com-
mander in chief to late night tel-
evision." It seems that he is at it
again, becoming the first sitting
president to appear on "The
Late Show" as well.
A casual reader of this column
will know that this writer has
been an enthusiastic supporter
of President Obama. But even a
diehard disciple can be over-
whelmed by this unequivocal
display of agenda-pushing. His
overexposure is definitely one
for the history books. While I
see the need to connect with his
audience through both the
media I can't help but wonder
what the political risk of this
overexposure could be. Through
the different mediums, the mes-
sage may get too waterlogged,

too diluted, and quite literally,
lost in translation ..
Whether people agree with the
president's agenda, or not, he
ought to be concerned. His ag-
gressive agenda and his zeal in
trying to communicate to the
American people, may very well
be seen as Obama's media cir-
cus. Such overex'posure may yet
have an opposite affect on the
American people from what he
is intending, trivializing not
only himself, but the message at
hand. From the volatile town
meetings, the retaliatory "tea
parties," the "you lie" sideshow
in the joint session of Congress,
Obama has effectively created
his own dog and pony show, al-
lowing the American people to
lose interest in the real issues
at hand.
Instead of getting America ex-
cited about the prospect of uni-
versal health<;are, he has turned
it into another message that
most either tune out or miss, as
his messages become more and
more unclear. He should target
his communication with the
American people in more credi-
ble venues, like press confer-
ences and speeches before the
joint commission of congress,
'!{here his
view
of the Health
Care Plan could be explained
fully.
It
is this writer's opinion
that for Obama, the strongest
message would be his absence
from the spotlight of the media
circus, and not vice versa.

PoinVCounterpoint: ~Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift
By
CHRIS TUREK
Circle Contributor
Pro-Kanye
By now, most of us have heard
about what happened at this year's
Video Music Awards between Tay-
lor Swift and Kanye West. After this
outburst by Kanye, many people
have finally written him off as an
egotistical jerk for good. But as for
me, I think that this incident was a
turnaround for Kanye and a good
thing for both Kanye and Taylor.
Now, Kanye West interrupting
Taylor Swift during what was cer-
tainly one of the proudest moments
of her life was definitely a mistake,
don't get me wrong. I think that this
was an inevitable happening,
though: Kanye did something so
tactless and embarrassing that even
he was able to see that it was
wrong. Kanye has done some amaz-
ingly stupid things in the past, such
as saying President George W. Bush
didn't care about black people be-
cause of how he handled Hurricahe
Katrina, or declaring that if the
Bible were written today, he would
need to be in it.
But he never once apologized for
any of this or said something like,
''Yeah, that was kind of thoughtless,
my bad." He's always just gone
about being his arrogant self, until
now. By interrupting Taylor Swift's
award acceptance speech, Kanye
has finally embarrassed himself to

Later in the evening when Bey-
once won her own VMA, she called
upon Taylor to return to the stage
and finish what she had been say-

preciated by both Beyonce and
Taylor Swift fans.
It
was Kanye
West that ultimately caused this,
and it is a reasonable argument to
say that what he did was wrong.
Whether or not it made Taylor more
popular and more supported is ir-
relevant, because his own mistakes
are clearly seen. Even with some of
his fans supporting him and prais-
ing the fact that he spoke his mind,
there is more reason to disagree.
Kanye West should have stayed in
his seat to begin with, but now he
should try and be as sincerely apolo-
getic as possiple.

Ratifying nuclear test treaty is a top priority
By
ELIZABETH PEARL
Circle Contributor
Nuclear bombs are very controver-
sial, first and foremost for the fact
that they have the potential to de-
stroy entire populations. But on
Sept. 24 and 25 a conference held in
New York City on the Comprehen-
sive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty will
take place, asking the world's lead-
ing countries to give up the option
to test nuclear bombs.
The conference has been held
every other year since 1999, which
was the last time that the United
States attended it. Forty-four coun-
tries must sign the treaty in order
for it to take affect. The U.S. is one
of nine that still has not ratified it,
along with China, Iran, Israel, Pak-
istan and North Korea, among oth-
ers.
Hillary Clinton will speak at the
conference for the United States,
promoting the Obama Administra-
tion's support for the treaty and nu-
clear non-proliferation. Obama said
during his 2008 presidential cam-
paign that ratifying the treaty and
initiating a nuclear free world held
a high priority.
However, the ratification
Qf
the
treaty has not proved easy in the
past. The_ conference, at which rep-
resentatives of supporting-nations
will discuss ways to convince the
nine holdout countries to sign the
pact, has been held for a decade
without U.S. support. The 1999
Senate of the Clinton administra-
tion first shut down the treaty, and
former President Bush did not send
a representative to the conference
for both of his terms.
In a speech
to the United Nations
General Assembly on Sept. 18, Sec-
retary of State Hillary Clinton ex-
pressed a belief that while global
nuclear disarmament might not
come in our lifetime, she and the
president wanted to "move toward
more effective nonproliferation and
more effective cooperation toward,
hopefully, arriving someday at that
future goal."
Conversely, freshman Will Grund-
mann felt that, "[Having nuclear
bombs] is more a scare tactic. If we
all have them, we'll be afraid to use
them."
This idea is not foreign to many
experts. A recent
Newsweek article

been a war between two countries

ROTC cadets know the rigors and rewards of service
By
KATIE GRAZIANO
Staff Writer
Upon arrival at college, students are looking to
make their mark, to stand out any way that they
can, to get their name known by peers, profes-
sors, anyone who will be of assistance to them in
the future. Members of Marist's Army ROTC
program are no exception. Even though they
walk around in camouflage, the many assets of
Army ROTC cadets certainly will not fade into
the background.
Dedication and discipline are among the quali-
ties that members of the Army ROTC must hold.
Certainly not for everyone, the Army ROTC pro-
gram is quite rigorous.
A student considering the Army ROTC must
meet several qualifications. They must be men-
tally strong in order to undertake what is asked
of them. This means that they must have a cu-
mulative GPA that is greater than a 2.0, and be
a full time student.
To be eligible for basic enrollment, a student
must be physically fit, which is demonstrated
through his or her ability to pass a physical fit-
ness test that includes such tasks as a two mile
run, push-ups and sit-ups. Most importantly, a
student interested in pursuing enrollment in the
Army ROTC must have the potential to become
a leader.
Army ROTC recruiting officer, Master Sergeant
Roy Moweary, stresses the significance of being a
leader in today's society. "I believe being a
leader, at different points in life, gives you an op-
portunity. I believe a leader is one of those indi-
viduals who is not afraid to take charge and
accept responsibilities for their actions. They
will always strive to survive and do well.
If
you
don't think that you are a leader, you miss out on
some important things and good opportunities in
life."
Adam Connolly, a third year cadet in the Army
cartoon corner
By VINNIE PAGANO
ROTC at Marist, has his own definition of what
it means to be a leader. "It means that I can suc-
cessfully command troops in a combat situation
and also be able to be an influence on my subor-
dinates, both mentally and physically, for their
betterment and mine."
Increasing one's ability to work well in teams,
it seems, is one of several benefits of joining the.
Army ROTC. Another being that upon gradua-
tion, a student will have something worthwhile
to pursue. Many members of the ROTC qualify
for two, three, or four-year merit scholarships
that cover their tuition and book fees, along with
additional monthly expenses, certainly a benefit
in such stressful economic times.
Students receiving scholarship funds, however,
are required to go on to serve either full-time
with the U.S. Army or part-time with the Na-
tional Guard or the Army Reserve once they have
successfully completed their Army ROTC pro-
gram.
So what exactly is asked of students of the
Army ROTC on a regular basis at Marist? Con-
nolly states, ''During the week, we have a class
and a lab ... Lab is conducted outside, no matter
what the temperature, once a week on Tuesdays,
in which we perform situational training exer-
cises. That is where cadets learn how to conduct
modern army battle drills; for example: move-
ment to contact, knock out a bunker, and am-
bushes."
The amount of time spent in ROTC class is
based on a student's class year. Freshmen spend
one hour in class; sophomores spend two; juniors
and seniors are in class for three hours each
week. The leadership lab is held for an hour
every week. Army ROTC students must also
participate in physical training three days a
week and field training exercises approximately
one or two weekends each semester. ROTC
classes are considered electives in the Marist
College curriculum.
As a regular student, already stressed with
tons of work, extracurriculars, and possibly a job,
being a member of the Army ROTC program
might seem a bit daunting, so why do some·peo-
ple find the Army ROTC a worthwhile program
to participate in? "It makes you a stronger per-
son," Connolly explains. ''You succeed in doing
things that you never thought you could. You get
pushed. The army forces you to push your own
limits ... You form a higher pedestal for yourself,
not necessarily for other people ... The army re-
quires .a lot of you, so when they ask you to do
stuff, You have to sacrifice. It's basically just
self-discipline."
If
you think that you hav.e this self-discipline
and are curious about the ROTC Army, MSG
Moweary encourages you to contact him and ask
him any questions that you might have. "We
don't lock the doors behind you," MSG Moweary
reassures. ''You can come in and leave at any
point.
If
you have a question, ask. The answers
might not always apply to you and your goals,
but at least you'll know the truth." It is this kind
of honesty and integrity that the Army ROTC
program is built upon. This practical approach
shapes leaders who can handle the challenges
that this world produces.

"Into the Woods" is a musical consist-
ing of several fairytales meshed into one
plot.
"They go right and then they go so
wrong," auditioner Chris Turkiewicz
said of the fairytales in the show.
According to the managing director of
musical theater, Nick Smith, the process
of choosing the musical starts with a
committee meeting open to all general
MCCTA members during the spring se-
mester.
Everyone brings possibilities to the
table and the committee narrows it
down to shows that "provide challenges
that make us better," Smith said. A vote
between the top five shows is held, and
the musical is picked.
The audition process for the musical
differs from year to year. Last year au-
ditioners were required to sing meas-
ures of any song from a golden era
musical. This year, auditioners needed
to prepare 16 to 18 measures of an up-
Though the process was long (an esti-
mated five and a half hours, collec-
tively), it ran smoothly.
''I thought this audition process was
one of the most organized auditions I
have done at Marist College,"Jaclyn
Fitzgerald said.
During the callback auditions, audi-
tioners learned a simple two counts of
eight, choreographed by Amanda Wein-
hold, and performed it. Then, some au-
ditioners learned and performed scenes
and songs from the show.
"It's nerve-racking, but a good audi-
tion process," Kelly Geus said. Other
auditioners felt differently.
''This whole process is agony," Olivia
McMahon said during the three hours
of callbacks.
But the process is necessary in order
to select the best cast
to
perform dur-
ing the show's Nov. 12-15th run.
"A lot of talented people came out for
this show, it is not easy to pick," assis-
tant director Alexa Mullen said.

Movie Review: What is so
hot about 'Jennifer's Body'
virginity in the seventh grade. She
remains that way through most of
the movie, as the audience loses all
sympathy for her and she devours
high school boys. But we can't get
enough of her.
What is scary about Jennifer is
that she says things any high school
demoness would say. She claims her
hypothetical penis is bigger than an
emo boy's and thinks that the
"Rocky Horror Picture Show" has
something to do with Rocky Balboa.

that must be kept in mind: the film

Satanism, high school and awk-

writer Diablo Cody ("Juno") lives up
to her name with "Jennifer's Body."
The movie mainly follows the per-
spective of "Needy'' (short for Anita)
Lesnicky, played by "Mean Girls"
actress Amanda Seyfried. Needy is
the awkward blond best friend who
is not as pretty as Jennifer (Megan
Fox), but the two are strangely in-
separable.
Needy and Jennifer attend a "Low
Shoulder" concert, where Jennifer
has her eyes set on lead singer,
lai describing him as "scrawny and
twisted and evil," like a burnt tree
she saw when she was younger.
Nikolai and his crew appear to be
good gents, but begin acting fishy
when they "save" Jennifer from a

her to get to safety with the band in
their van where his true intentions

Fame 9/25
Hey, kids! Remember how much
you loved that final scene in High
School Musical where Troy and
Gabriella almost shared a kiss (on
the lips, OMG), the Wildcats bas-
ketball team won the state champi-
onship, and everyone broke out into
cheery song and dance to ''We're All
in This Together?'' This is nothing
like that. Instead, Fame is a gritty,
modern take on wannabe stars in a
New York City performing arts high
school. This remake of the 1980
musical focuses on the hard work
that aspiring singers, dancers, rap-
pers, and filmmakers go through.
There will be singing, there will be
dancing, and there definitely will be
love. Just don't expect the vomit-in-
ducing peppiness of Disney films.
I

9/25
Yes, this movie is based on the
best-selling nar:rative of sel£-pi:o-
claimed jerk Tucker Max, a man
with an insatiable sex drive, a ten-
dency to become uncontrollably
drunk at inappropriate times, a con-
stant need for attention and an
utter lack of morals. This movie fo-
cuses on the Duke Law School grad-
uate's shenanigans when he
convinces his friends to go to a fa-
mous strip club. The success of the
book relies on Max's ability to write
in a self-deprecating way that
makes you hate to love him.
If new-
comer Matt Czuchry can play Max
in a likeable way, this crude movie
will be enjoyable.
The Invention of Lying 10/3
In a world without the concept of
lying, everyone, even politicians,
lawyers and used car salesmen,
matter-of-factly state whatever is

taken seriously, Ricky Gervais (the
boss in Britain's ''The Office") dis-
covers lying can help him get sex,
money, and popularity. But some-
how, even though he's rich and fa-
mous, he's still unhappy, because

Book Review: 'The Lost Symbol'
Where the Wild Things Are
10/16
If
the illustrations of the creepy,
hairy wild things did not give you
enough nightmares when you were
five years old, the massive bug-eyed
beasts in the film, (partly live pup-
pets and partly computer ani-
mated,) will make sure you never
escape the dark, .ft'OOdsy world in
your imagination. Spike Jonze, cre-
ator of the MTV show-"Jackass," is
directing the adaptation of the
beloved children's book in a decade-
long collaboration with author Mau-
rice Sendak.
In the film, a
mischievous, sensitive boy named
Max is sent to bed without his sup-
per, and dreams of a world where he
becomes king of the wild things.
Adventure ensues.

With his newest novel, "The Lost
Symbol," Dan Brown proves yet
again that he is the master of sus-
pense, symbols and secrets.
The novel takes place in the
Washington, D.C. area over the
span of 12 hours. Robert Langdon,
the novel's protagonist, is called to
give a speech at theCapitol but he
quic'kly learns that he has simply
been tricked as part of a shadowy
villain's scheme.
Although filled with plenty of in-
n e
teresting characters, it is Mal'akh,
the main antagonist who really
stands out. He is a man who be-
lieves that he can gain power by
constantly transforming himself. He
is completely covered in symbolic
tattoos, except for a naked halo on
his head that he is saving to become
"perfect."
As is his style, Brown shifts char-
acter perspectives almost every
chapter. Mal'akh's perspective is
often strictly internalized, giving
the reader glimpses of his past to
see how he became the person he is.
But aside from Mal'akh and
Robert Langdon, who is a well-de-
veloped character from previous
novels, the book's newer characters
seem a bit lacking.
Inoue Sato, the director of the
CIA's Office of Security, is one such
character that seems incomplete.
While the reader is given her tragic
back story, her motivations remain
unclear and unanswered.
"The Lost Symbol" follows the
same formula as the previous two
novels concerning Robert Langdon.
Much like "Angels and Demons," it
focuses greatly on the battle be-
tween science and faith, and how
the two are just different means to
the same ends.
Possibly the most interesting con-
cept introduced in the novel is the
science of Noetics. This is the sci~
ence that Katherine Solomon, ac-
complice of Langdon, specializes in.
Noetics is the science of the human
brain's ability to use thought to ma-
nipulate the physical world.
In the novel, Katherine explains
how this branch of science can ex-
plain miracles and even answer the
question of whether or not there is
life after death.
Despite the lack of some character
development and the same plot
structure, "The Lost Symbol" is still
a Dan Brown novel through and
through. It is entertaining, and like
his other works, it encourages read-
ers to always keep their eyes open.

Beauty: Pinchin' pennies to look pretty
By
LAUREN
FOSTER
Circle Contributor
In today's tumultuous economy,
many students are feeling the
pinch of an increasingly tight
budget. But really the only thing
more depressing than a dwin-
dling bank account is finding
you've let yourself go from fab to
drab. Luckily, there are ways to
cut corners when it comes to your
beauty regimen.
First, it is important to look at
where you can cut back without
sacrificing too much. Purchasing
make-up these days is quite
costly, but it is something that can
be easily edited in your beauty
budget. By seeking out alternative
products, and avoiding the major
make-up counters, next time you
run out of your favorite products
you can easily save over $100. For
instance, if you usually go to
Chanel to pick up your favorite
bronzer, eyeliner, and lip-gloss,
you would be shelling out $110.
However, you could get almost
those same three products at
www.eyeslipsface.com for only $7.
Eyeslipsface (e.l.f.) is a new
beauty company that has a large
line of beauty products that retail
for as little as $1. This company
does not endorse animal testing,
and work closely with PETA.
In
addition, all their products are hy-
poallergenic
and
non-co-
modogenic-meaning they won't
irritate skin or clog pores.
Changing the products you cur-
rently use is not the only way to
save. You can also use items you
already own. For example, you
can make use of any extra sham-
poo or conditioner bottles you
might have lying around. Whether
you bought the product to try it,
but turned out not liking it, or if
you just never used the whole
thing, it is best to not waste it.
You can use the shampoo as a
light detergent for any delicate
clothing, or hand washable items
you might have. In a pinch, you
can use the conditioner as a
makeshift shaving cream; it keeps
your skin smooth, without leaving
behind any kind of residue.
But, really, the only thing more
depressing than a dwindling
bank account Is finding you've let
yourself go from fab to drab.
Additionally, it is important to
be inventive and work ordinary
objects into your beauty routine.
You
oould take a cue from Sar.ah
Jessica Parker, who swears by one
of Hollywood's secret beauty
tips-using a toilet seat cover to
blot your face. The covers are
made from the same material as
blot papers, and will remove any
extra grease.
Using natural remedies to com-
bat beauty problems is another
great way to save money because
a lot of the products can be found
right in your kitchen. Do you have
any flat beers lying around from
last weekend's party? Surpris-
ingly enough, beer can make hair
more shiny and voluminous. The
proteins found in beer's malts and
hops work to repair damaged hair
and creates more volume. Accord-
ing to an article featured on Asso-
ciated Content, the maltose and
sucrose in the beer tighten up the
hair's cuticle, thus producing a lot
of shine. Just shampoo, pour the
beer over your head, and allow it
to soak in for about two minutes.
Then, rinse out and condition as
usual.
If pimples have been plaguing
you lately, try using honey to heal
acne. It has anti-bacterial proper-
ties, reduces redness and irrita-
tion, and is very soothing for skin.
Make sure you use pure honey
and heat it up for 10-15 seconds in
the microwave. Then, apply it to
the flC(_' let it sit for 20 n in te:·.
and finally, rinse well.
Hopefully, these tips can help to

make saving money easier, with-
out sacrificing your looks. If you
can forego fancy packaging and
brand names, purchasing prod-
ucts from other retailers can eas-
ily put hundreds of dollars back
into your pocket. Also, it is impor-
tant to get creative and use prod-
ucts you already have to replace
items that are not necessities. It is
definitely possible to look like a
million bucks without spending as
much!

Rough weekend on road for Fo~es
By SCOTT ATKINS
Staff Writer
The Marist men's soccer team
spent the weekend on the road,
falling to Fordham and Howard in
two tight matches. The losses drop
the Red Foxes to 3-2-1 on the year.
"It was a tough
weekend," coach
Matt Viggiano said. "We played a
team
iri
Fordham that was very di-
rect and tried to take us out of the
game we play, and it was a different
experience down at Howard. We're
going to have to learn to deal with
big, physical teams that try to take
us out of what we try to do on the
field."
Marist entered the Bronx to play
Fordham on Friday night sporting
an undefeated record of 3-0-1, but
the Rams handed the Foxes their
first loss of the season in a 1-0 de-
fensive battle. The game was score-
less until the 66th minute when
freshman Veer Lakhan-Joseph gave
Fordham a 1-0 lead.
"We fell asleep for about 10 sec-
onds," Viggiano said. 'We lost a cou-
ple of balls and that was it."
Goalkeeper Joe Pilla made one
save and let up what was just the
second goal of the season scored
against the redshirt junior.
The team then traveled
to
Wash-
ington, D.C. Sunday afternoon to
battle Howard University in its
m
e
1
home opener. Pilla made a season-
high seven saves but Marist's offen-
sive slump continued as they fell to
the Bisons 3-1.
''The biggest difference on Sunday
was our competition level," Viggiano
said. 'We didn't match Howard's in-
tensity."
Sophomore Troy Confessore had
two shots on goal and scored the
Foxes' lone goal in the 68th minute
to knot it up at one. Howard then
netted two goals in less than three
minutes to gain what turned out to
be an insurmountable lead.
Contributing
to
the defeats was a
laundry list of injuries.
'We're a little banged up right
now," Viggiano said. "We're proba-
bly missing three or four starters at
this point."
Krystian Witkowski, Josh Lavo-
rato, and Steven Morales all sat the
weekend out with injuries.
Viggiano remained optimistic that
his team will bounce back and is
confident they will grow as a result
of the losses.
"Usually you learn more from your
losses than you do from your wins," .
he said. "Sometimes when you win,
you hide some of your deficiencies.
[Earlier this year] we were getting
some good results but there were
definitely some things underlying
that got exposed this weekend."

sor/Zaher Memorial Classic where

After loss to San Diego, Red Foxes turn attention to Bucknell
"I think it was one of the more
important plays of the game," jun•
ior linebacker Kees Coughlin said.
"They tested our defense to see
what we could do back in our own
territory. It was a big confidence
booster."
A one-yard touchdown reception
from Fiumefreddo gave Marist a
10-3 advantage with just over five
minutes remaining before half-
time.
Neither team would score again
until the game was tied at 10
apiece by Rogan on a two-yard
touchdown run that was part of a
12-play, 65-yard drive for San
Diego.
Two missed field goal attempts
by Kevin Pauly from both 4 7 and
50 yards in the fourth quarter
would keep Marist off of the score-
board for the remainder of the
game.
San Diego's final possession of
the game began with 2:36 remain-
ing on the clock and the game still
tied at 10.
A 43-yard completion from Scud-
ellari to John McGough would eat
up most of the yardage needed by
the Toreros to get in striking dis-
tance for the fateful 26-yard touch-
down pass with 41 seconds
remaining that would seal the vic-
tory for them.
After two consecutive games
against PFL opponents, the Red
Foxes are getting accustomed to
the type of competition that they
will face in their inaugural season.
A team such as San Diego, who
the Red Foxes have played before,
certainly lived up to the reputation
that preceded them.
"They were just as athletic and
as fast as we thought going into
the game," Parady said. 'We had
an opportunity to come out of there
with a win, right down until the
la-st part of the game, and we did-
n't execute our phases to get us a
victory."
Next on the schedule for Marist
is Bucknell, a team based out of
Lewisburg, Pa. that Marist fell vic-
tim to last season, 21-17.
"[Bucknell] presents a lot of prob-
lems due to the option that they
run, the triple option," Parady
said. "They run it very well, very
effectively and their defense cre-
ates turnovers."
Red Foxes on the move
In addition to playing their sec-
ond conference football game of the
season during their trip to San
Diego, the Red Foxes had an op-
portunity to sightsee and even
sample some of the area dining op-
tions.
On their day of arrival, the team
departed for practice on the cam-
pus of the University of San Diego
and ate dinner at a local Olive Gar-
den restaurant.
"Their facilities are awesome,"
Coughlin said. ''The whole campus
setup is beautiful. It's right on top
of a hill, and the whole landscape
and aura was really beautiful."
During their second day on the
trip, the Red Foxes had the oppor-
tunity to visit Sea World and ob-
serve some of the exciting aquatic
life featured at the
park.
"We watched the sea lion show
and the whale show," sophomore
safety Stephen Guarino said. "It
was great to get out and just enjoy
being with the team."
That same evening, the team de-
parted for Junior Seau's restau-

With the beginning of the MAAC
schedule approaching this weekend,
the Marist women's soccer team
looks as if they are ready for the
challenge after two straight wins
against Bucknell and Lafayette.
Marist headed to Bucknell on Fri-
day to face a team that has beaten
them in three-straight matches.
This time, the Foxes finally came
out on top and defeated the Bison 3-
2. On Sunday, the team went home
and shut out Lafayette by a score of
3-0.
Junior Amy Tillotson scored her
second goal of the season against
Lafayette, and had an assist on the
first goal of the game by freshman
Jackie Frey.
"Amy Tillotson continues to work
hard and challenge so hard in prac-
tices and in games," coach Elizabeth
Roper said. ''We've used her in mid-
field and up at forward. She's a very
smart and effective player out on
the field for us."
This weekend, the MAAC sched-
ule opens up with home games
against Manhattan and Saint

Red Hot Fox: Marist's star athlete of the week
By
SCOTT ATKINS
Staff Writer
Joe PIiia
Redshlrt Junior- Soccer
For some, soccer is just a game,
but for others, it is a competition
used as a distraction from real life.
For Marist goalkeeper Joe Pilla,
soccer is everything.
"It's my life" Pilla said; "It's my
passion. This is what I want to do
after college, and after playing I
want to coach."
If
he continues the same level of
play he has been performing at this
year then the redshirt junior will be
playing soccer for a long time to
come. His physical skills on the
field are undeniable. After the first
four games of the season Joe was
seventh in the nation in goals
against average (GAA) and 12th in
save percentage. He was also
named MAAC co-defensive player
of the week after recording two
straight shutouts to begin his
Marist career. Head coach Matt
Viggiano believes it is not his skill
set which gives Pilla the pride and
confidence he so coolly exudes, but
his character.
"He's a high character guy," Vig-
giano said. "He's a great kid and a
great leader who leads by example.
Joe's a very easy guy to respect."
Pilla knows what it takes to be a
top-tier Division I goalkeeper. He
has an unparalleled work ethic on
and off the field, coupled with an
unbreakable faith in his ability.
"[It takes] a lot of hard work in the
offseason and a lot of confidence,"
Pilla said. "As a goalkeeper every-
thing is very mental. You're not
touching the ball every play like the
field players are, so you have to
have communication with your
players and keep emitting that con-
fidence."
Beginning his college career at
Southern Connecticut State Uni-
versity, Pilla was not in the right
situation to succeed and felt he
needed to transfer.
"I was struggling through injuries
and fall-outs with the coaches," he
said.
Club soccer teammates and Red
Foxes Mike McGowan and Rob
Branski told him their team was in
need of a keeper and the rest is his-
tory.
Pilla is relishing his time as a
starter, and as a redshirt junior he

has another year ahead of him,
which he wants to take full advan-
tage of.
"I'm getting so much experience,
and playing with a good team,"
Pilla said. "[Next offseason] I'm
planning on playing as much soccer
and t;raining as much as I can."
The future is bright for Pilla.
After college, he will compete
against many other talented
goalies. While some may match Joe
in talent, one thing is certain-- no
one will ever match his passion.

Toreros down Foxes in final seconds
By PHILIP TERRIGNO
Sports Editor
The Marist Red Foxes appeared
primed and ready to win their first
Pioneer Football League game of
football
the season and also their
first win in series history
against the San Diego Toreros
through just over 59 minutes this
past Saturday.
Instead, the Red Foxes are now 0-
2 in PFL play this season, and have
dropped to 0-5 against San Diego
after the Toreros scored a game-
winning tou~hdown with 41 seconds
remaining, notching a 17-10 victory.
"It was a good football game, a
great college football game," coach
Jim Parady said. 'We were disap-
pointed to lose the game. We went
out there [California] to win the
football game and we didn't accom-
plish our goal."
Redshirt freshman quarterback
Sam Scudellari found tight end
Patrick Doyle on a 26-yard touch-
down strike with 41 seconds re-
maining that sealed the victory for
San Diego.
With a touchdown so late into the
contest, San Diego tarnished a truly
phenomenal defensive effort by the
Red Foxes that saw 17 different

players contribute on tackles.
"The defense has played excellent
for us all three games this year,"
Parady said. "[It was] another out-
standing performance against San
Diego. All 18 to 20 guys that are
playing for us are playing well as a
unit."
Marist forced the Toreros to punt
on four of their first six possessions
of the game, and surrendered only
80 rushing yards.
"It wasn't eight plays, 10 plays
and then they punted," Parady said.
"It was three-and-outs, they were
quick series'."
Sophomore quarterback Tommy
Reilly, who finished 12 for 21 on
passing attempts with 139 yards
and one touchdown, made his first
career start in the contest against
San Diego.
"He (Reilly] commanded the of-
fense very well," Parady said. "He
made good decisions and I thought
for his first time playing in a college
football game he did an excellent ·
job."
Helping Reilly attack the San
Diego defense was the Marist run
game that compiled 147 yards.
O'Neill Anderson, Greg Whipple,
Willis Dendy, and Ray Fiumefreddo
all had carries in the game.
'We had a huge rotation going,"
Whipple said. "It's good for all of us
so we all have fresh legs."
Reilly led Marist on an eight-play,
42-yard drive that culminated in a
45-yard field goal by junior kicker
Kevin Pauly, putting Marist up 3-0
with 3:58 remaining in the first
quarter.
On the ensuing kickoff, JT Rogan
had a 67-yard return that brought
the ball all the way down to the
Marist 18 yard line.
Unable to move the ball against
the Red Foxes defense, San Diego
had to settle for a 28-yard field goal_
from kicker Mike Levine to knot the
game at 3-3.
