On Sunday, Oct. 3, the Walkway
Over the Hudson, the largest pedes-
trian bridge in the world, opened to
the public, marking an important
day in the history of the Hudson
Valley. The bridge spans the Hud-
son River and connects the City of
Poughkeepsie in Dutchess County
with the Town of Lloyd in Ulster
County, New York. It is an easy
walk from the Marist campus and is
likely to become a popular destina-
tion for students and residents
alike.
The bridge is also set to foster an
increase in revenue for the neigh-
boring Dutchess and Ulster Coun-
ties, a welcome condition in hard
economic times. According to

SGA to make presence
known in dining hall
By
KELLY GALLUCCI
Staff Writer
As the hype over the cafeteria's
pseudo-"Coldstone" dies down, stu-
dents will have another change to
their
daily
dining
lives.
The Student Government Associ-
ation is in the process of setting up
'Shop in the cafeteria. Diners can ex-
pect
to see a table set up where SGA
officers can spend some of their of-
fice hours interacting with the stu-
dents after discovering during last
semester's elections that many stu-
dents did not know the tasks per-
formed by their elected officials.
"This table is just a simple way to
get us out there and make sure peo-
ple know how to best use Student
Government as a resource, not just
for parking appeals," said Student
Body President Steve Townsend.
These responses
will
be used con-
structively to better the overall expe-
rience for students at Marist.
Townsend is not the only member of
SGA who is looking forward to the
table. Whitney Stahl, president of the
class of 2011 and senate speaker, is
excited about the proactive approach.
"I hope that we receive all types of
questions, so we can find out the con-
cerns of the students and work with
them to help solve the problems."
Sophomore Christi Sheehan said
she understands the appeal of the
idea and thinks this wiil make
SGA
more
approachable.
''I feel as though
if
I thought of some-
thing that I wanted
fixed
I would be
more inclined to talk to them if they
were right there in the cafeteria."
Other students weren't as positive.
"I don't think many students
will
go up to them. When people go to
the cafeteria they're concerned with
eating and being with their friends,
I think they might just walk by,"
said junior Meghan O'Neill.
Stahl said that SGA representatives
will also
be making an effort to attend
different club meetings to speak with
students, as well as aiming to set up
tables in academic buildings.
"Our ultimate goal is to get out in
the Marist community as much as
possible so that the students know
that we are here to aid them in
making Marist the best college ex-
perience possible," Stahl said.
www.walkway.org, the Web site of
the Walkway Over the Hudson, "an
independent economic impact study
concluded that the Walkway will
generate an estimated $14.6 million
in new direct spending by visitors to
Dutchess and Ulster Counties."
Reactions from the student body
were positive, with many recogniz-
ing the significance of the event.
''The day couldn't have been more
beautiful," junior Matthew Wald-
bauer said. "Even though it was
early in the morning, the experience
was well worth it."
Many Marist alumni returned to
witness the monumental event first-
hand.
"It was a beautiful way to connect
the community and the scenic mid
Hudson," 2009 graduate Jillian Gib-
son said. "I am so happy I was able
to come back to witness this."
Access is available on the west end
of the- bridge from Haviland Road
and the adjoining rail trail. On the
east of the bridge, access is pro-
vided at Washington Street. The
Walkway features a 25-foot deck
that was able to hold an entire pa-
rade, band and many spectators, as
well as safety railings that run the
full length of the bridge. Lanes sep-
arate walkers from bicyclists and
roller bladers. A walk through the
Walkway Over the Hudson Historic
State Park can prepare oneself for
the amount of history that the
bridge truly encompasses.
''The entrance to the bridge was
really nice," said junior Daniel
Jagoda. "I'm glad it's separate from
the street. The signs noting the his-
tory of the bridge were also inter-
esting. The fact that I am so afraid
of heights didn't even come int<>,p a
I was having such a good tim~
The bridge, like the river below, is
full of history. In 1871 the Pough-
keepsie Bridge Company was
founded, with nearly 10,000 people
in attendance of the ceremonial cor-
ner stone laying for the new bridge.
In 1888 the then Poughkeepsie-
Highland Railroad Bridge was com-
pleted after overcoming eight years
of inactivity due to economic and en-
gineering hardships. In 1974 a se-
vere fire damaged the eastern
tracks, ending the bridge's service to
the railroad. Having been neglected
thereafter, it seemed as if that was
the end for the bridge.
It
was only in
1991 when the threat of demolition
loomed, a grassroots effort to pre-
serve the bridge began. Nine years
later, Walkway over the Hudson as-
sumed ownership of the bridge and
the rest is history.
The opening of the bridge also co-
incided with parents' weekend,
making the experience that much
more of a dynamic event.
Saturday night a circus, light
show and AIRW AVE dances could
be seen, involving dozens of illumi-
nated performers. The following day
was just as activity.clad, with a 5k
run by the Mid-Hudson Runners,
public access to the Walkway Over
the Hudson Historic State Park, the
Clearwater
&
Hudson Valley Blue-
grass Association Music Festival at
Highland Landing Park and the
Clearwater River Cruises from the
Highland access point, among the
list of things to do.

Beer and soda mix newest freshmen concoction
By CHRIS RAIA
10/1 - Cafeteria
Any clueless student who doesn't
know how to cook hot pockets and
who has inconvenienced their entire
dorm at 2 a.m., this is your time to
feel better. The cafeteria workers
have seen your harmless fire drills
and raised you an actual fire. A
small grease fire sparked on one of
the grills just before dinnertime.
As
soon as I heard the word fire, I
started imagining the possibilities.
What building burned down? Did
anybody have to actually follow the
rules of stop, drop and roll? But the
fire was immediately doused with a
fire extinguisher, and the.re was no
damage. Even though that makes
the story less exciting, it's definitely
a good thing.
10/2 - Leo
A third floor student was caught
drinking with 4is two older sisters
visiting for family weekend. Don't
you just love family bonding time?
Send the parents away to a hotel,
and then get wasted with the sib-
lings. They were drinking beer
mixed with soda out of water bottles
- this part of the story confused me.
People mix beer and soda? ~o
knew ... 15 points for Leo (five for
each person); I'd give extra points
for creating a new drink, but beer
and soda doesn't make a lot of sense

and sounds disgusting. Quick side
note: does anybody else think
Marist hires actors for parents'
weekend? That Friday, apparently
everybody on campus decided that
was the day they were going to play
acoustic guitar outside, th.row a
Frisbee around and then relax on
the Hudson on their sailboats.
The.re was probably a script. Isn't
Marist great?
10/2 - Champagnat
A party was broken up at 10 p.m.
in a seventh floor do.rm room. Seven
students and three guests were in
attendance, and 37 cans of cheap
beer and - ready? - bottle of Sailor
Jerry's rum. I guess I'll give 50
points to Champ.
It
sounds like a
lot, but Sailor Jerry is enough to
earn it.
10/3 - Leo
A student reported receiving ob-
scene phone calls from a restricted
number. These stories hit close to
home for me because I am strangely
terrified by that horrible, horrible
movie "When a Stranger Calls".
Feel free to judge me. These calls
weren't as scary though, as the
caller used an alias that I'm not al-
lowed to repeat here. But it had
something to do with an adjective
for "not small," the male reproduc-
tive organ and the name Willie.
Loophole ...

10/4 - Donnelly, I guess?
A student reported his wallet
missing and was notified shortly
after by security that it was found.
Feel good story of the week, right?
Well it would have been
if
he did.Q't
have his fake ID in a visible sectidn
of the wallet. That sucks. Imagide
that roller coaster of emotion. Los-
ing your wallet is so frustrating,
making finding your wallet awe-
some. So instead of feeling elated,
this student lost his fake ID, proba-
bly lost some priority points, and
now has a meeting with adminis-
tration. Ouch.
10/3- Champagnat
Security apparently thinks that
the student body listens to what I
have to say, so they always ask me
to throw down a few public service
announcements. So that's flatter-
ing. Anyway, a freshman's $2,500
laptOP, was stolen out of her room.
Her door was unlocked because her
roommate lost her keys. Obviously,
I feel bad for the girl whose com-
puter was stolen, but also, I feel bad
for the roommate. How bad does
she feel? Keep your heads up, both
of you - you make mistakes. Just
lock your doors from now on.

Journalism adapts to failing economy
By DEANNA
GILLEN
Opinion Editor
·-•s.•1
This past Sat-
urday, I had
the opportu -
nity to attend
the Press Club
Foundation's
Annual Confer-
ence,
which
took place in
NYU's Kimmel
Center in New
York City. Throughout the course
of the day, I sat in on panels dis-
cussing everything· from Mayor
Bloomberg's relationship (or lack
thereof) with the press, to dis-
cussing job offers in the field.
The message that permeated
throughout the day was the dev-
astation that has come in the
wake of the economic crisis ... the
press bearing the brunt of the im-
pact, and struggling to stay rele-
vant in a time of monumental
change.
It has been more than an entire
year since Lehman's collapse
which triggered the global eco-
nomic crisis. As we still grasp for
signs of economic improvement, it
seems that the entire industry
has started to collapse in its
wake. Journalists, confronted
with shrinking newsrooms, have
had to turn to the digital media.
Seasoned journalists still left
with jobs, have had to adapt with
writing on a topic most know
nothing about the economy.
What I found most surprising
from the forum was that, while
journalism jobs are shrinking at
an overwhelming rate, applica-
tions for graduate degrees in jour-
nalism continue to grow. Perhaps
soon to be graduates, like myself,
are afraid to go out into the "so-
called real world" and take their
chances. I know that having op-
tions come graduation is quite ap-
pealing.
As we all know, there is a mas-
sive fragmentation of how people
get the news, no one person sticks
to one publication anymore. With
blogging, the World Wide Web,
and sites like the Drudge Report,
they send interested readers to
one story, with no intention of
ever coming back to that publica-
tion. That's just the way it is.
In the wake of this crisis, it
seems that reporters have had to
adapt. In order to cover the.eco-
nomic crisis for example, one re-
porter explained to me that in
order to write the story, it is not
just explaining all the Wall Street
"mumbo jumbo," it's the job of the
journalist to make it relatable to
their readers. It seems that all of
the giants of journalism are ob-
sessed with the economy. No one
media outlet, like The Wall Street
Journal, will cover it any longer.
With this economic shift, the
economy is now the number one
priority for all media outlets. To
this end, one must start with the
notion that the story isn't just
about the numbers, but rather
about the people behind the num-
bers. An economic neophyte my-
self, I understand the need to
make it
1
'relatable" to the Ameri-
can public. The reporter further
explained that being able to "ex-
plain" is part of our job ... the key
is about being aggressive enough
to dig up the reasons why.
Though it is true that the world
of journalism is changing, there is
no doubt that it will still exist in
some form. The challenge is to re-
imagine what we believe the busi-
ness of journalism is, good
journalism will always prevail,
and today is no exception. If there
is one thing that I took away from
the Press Club Foundation's An-
nual Conference, it's that despite
this whirlwind of change, the
voice of journalists will still need
to be heard.
Though right now the jobs are
scarce, it seems that most. bud-
ding journalists know that there
remains a story to tell, an injus-
tice to correct, and many, like me,
are dying to get the chance to tell
it. The method and venue may
change, but the challenge to jour-
nalists in the 21st Century will
continue to keep the populace in-
formed about the world around
them, and what's happening in
it ... regardless of how it is told.

Disappoint-
ments
were
plentiful
in
week 4 of the
NFL,
espe-
cially for New
York
sports
fans.
The Saints
made
Mark
Sanchez look very, very human as
the rookie posted an embarrass-
ingly low 27.0 passer rating in the
Jet's 24-10 loss at the hands of the
New Orleans Saints.
Giant fans had their first scare
of the season when Eli Manning
complained of foot pain after drop-
ping back on a pass attempt and
was later diagnosed with planatar
fasciitis, an injury that involves
irritation or swelling of a portion
of the foot.
Fans of the American Football
Conference's Western division
have truly been treated to a great
story early on this season.
Just five short weeks ago, before
the start of the season, USA
Today gave the Denver Broncos
an "F+" in its NFL off season
grades report.
Although the Broncos tumul-
tuous offseason was marked with
two highly profiled spats between
new head coach Josh McDaniels
and a pair of his players, Denver
has started the year with a 4-0
record and has allowed just 26
points through four games.
McDaniel's leadership ability
was certainly tested early on at
the helm of the Broncos, as he had
to deal with two key players re-
questing trades.
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall
has been at the center of several
domestic violence allegations, in-
cluding one this past summer, and
admitted that he didn't play in
two preseason games because he
didn't bother to learn the play-
book.
Quarterback Jay Cutler de-
manded a trade after McDaniels
allegedly entertained a phone call
from the New England Patriot's
regarding a deal for Cutler. A
meeting between the two to try
and mediate the situation was un-
successful, and Cutler was soon
dealt to the Chicago Bears.
McDaniel's ability to handle per-
sonalities as a first year coach was
tested in these two cases, and any
of those questions have certainly
been put to bed with such a domi-
nant start by his squad.
As a sports fan, it is refreshing
to see that a coach can prevail
even with athletes who are unco-
operative and refuse to commit to
team ideals.
All the talk regarding New York
baseball has been about whether
or not Alex Rodriguez will perform
and .put up monster numbers in
this upcoming postseason.
If fans think that the pressure
on A-Rod is immense, I can't
imagine what it must feel like to
be 20-year- old Detroit Tigers
starting pitcher Rick Porcello.
Porcello will take the hill when
the Tigers square off against the
Minnesota Twins in a one-game
playoff to determine the American
League Central champion.
The rookie of the year candidate
posted a 14-9 record during the
regular season, but was 0-2 with a
6.30 earned run average in the
Metrodome, where the one game
playoff will be held.
A notoriously loud stadium and
unfriendly place to play for trav-
eling teams, the Twins have al-
ready reportedly sold over 50,000
tickets to the contest.
Losing this contest would mean
that it would be the last game
ever to be played m the
Metrodome, as the Twins prepare
to open Target Field next season,
their new, open-air ballpark.
This just goes to show that con-
trary to popular belief; exciting
and high stakes baseball does
ta:ke place outside of the Yankees
and Red Sox rivalry.
Sometimes I hope that certain
athletes will grow up and act like
professionals, which includes ig-
noring comments and ch~ap shots
taken by online bloggers.
Even though I know this is un-
likely in many cases, I still hold
out hope that certain athletes will
realize that it's not necessary to
comment on every little poke that
someone takes at you.
Ron Artest, you've squashed my
hope.
The newly acquired Lakers for-
ward responded to a Los Angeles
based blogger who wrote an open-
letter stating that Artest better
perform or get out of town, with a
three-word, extremely rude, R-
rated response.
How naive of me to think that
the "Palace Pouncer ," as blogger
'Kyle Slavin called him, would do
the right thing.

Slain Yale student becomes poster-child for workplace violence
By
ALYSSA
LONGOBUCCO
Circle Contributor
There are many instances where
tragedies fall under the media
radar, and are mourned only by
those in close proximity. Then there
are those tragedies that become the
hallmark of a generation, where the
victim becomes the "poster-child"'
for advocacy and change.
Such is the case with Annie Le,
the 24-year-old Yale student that
recently disappeared and was later
found dead. 'Fhe pharmacology stu-
dent, who was conducting research
on mice as part of a graduate team,
was found stuffed into a laboratory
wall on what would have been her
wedding day.
The accused, 24-year old Raymond
Clark III, came in daily contact with
Le in the Yale lab where he worked
as an animal-services technician.
Clark is said
to
have sent
Le threat-
ening e-mails and text messages re-
garding the testing the team was
doing on the mice. The homicide
has now been declared an instance
of "workplace violence" by the New
Haven Police.
As Chief James Lewis recently
stated in a press conference, "This
is not about urban crime, about uni-·
versity crime, domestic crime, but
an issue of workplace violence,
which is becoming a growing con-
cern around the country."
For college students like myself,
who are in a few years going to be
thrust into the work force, the case
of Annie Le serves as an eye-open-
ing example of emerging new dan-
gers.
I've been educated, as most 20-
something women have, about the
perils of our modern world and how
to keep myself safe and out of harms
way. Never go anywhere alone, al-
ways have your finger on the panic
button when walking in a parking
lot, and keep a close eye on your
drink when out with friends. Up
until now, violence in the workplace
·was never mentioned on the list of
circumstances to protect myself
from.
As a disturbing new trend, work-
place violence has increased expo-
nentially in the recent years. While
what usually comes to mind when
considering workplace vioience is
robberies and holdups, the statistics
prove this is not the case.
According
to
the U.S Department
of Labor Occupational Health and
Safety Administration, workplace
homicide accounts for the fourth-
leading cause of fatal occupational
injury in the United States. Statis-
tics indicated that there were 564
workplace homicides in 2005, a
number that is only steadily in-
creasing with the downing economy
and increasing pressure in the
workplace.
I can't help but think more could
have been done to prevent the hor-
rible murder of Le. It's unclear at
this point whether
Le ever reported
the harassment she was receiving
from Clark to the college, or
whether Yale implements back-
ground checks on employees.
If
so,
the situation with Clark, who had a
previous run in with law enforce-
ment after allegedly getting physi-
cal with a high school girlfriend,
may have been prevented.
There is not shortage of unfortu-
nate details revealed in the ongoing
investigation in to Le's murder,
most notably the emergence of an
article
Le wrote before her death en-
titled "Crime and Safety in New
Haven".
The tragedy of
Le cautions others
to be aware in order to avoid be-
<;:oming yet another statistic. With
the Yale community and the natiQA
notably saddened over the death
~f
Le, it's obvious that her death will
not remain a mere statistic. Hope-
fully it will serve as a catalyst, en-
couraging young women, and others
to educate themselves on the dan-
gers of workplace violence.

no longer afford a house and you
have to move to the streets?
This is the case in many states
across the nation. People who are
faced with the problem of having
nowhere to live have done the un-
thinkable. They have moved into
tent communities. These camps
are located nationwide in places
such as Providence, R.I.; Sacra-
mento, Calif.; Nashville, Tenn.;
and Seattle, Wash.
1
The es~abli~hment of these
pamps nationwide has caused·
,nany standoffs between local gov-
ernments and homeless rights ac-
tivists. While these camps violate
housing ordinances, they do pro-
vide people with a place to stay
while they get back on their feet
Even though the number of
homeless families has stayed
roughly the same, people are wor-
ried that this is an indication of
what is to come in the very near
future.
"This data is the canary in the
coal mine," Nan Roman, the al-
liance's president, wrote on the
group's Web site. "Homelessness
is a lagging indicator of economic
tides, so there is concern that this
new information could fore-
shadow sharp increases in home-
lessness in the future."
Many people moved to Seattle
and other big cities because they
heard of job opportunities. When
they arrived, however, they were
greeted with the high cost of liv-
ing and few jobs. Families split up
because there is not enough room
in the shelters for everyone. The
Bailey 'family, from Montana,
made the move from their home to
Seattle after Tom Bailey, hus-
band and father to two teenage
sons, lost his job as a construction
truck driver.
"We are hard-working human
beings that just can't make
enough money to survive," Bailey
told CNN.
The camp in Seattle has been
moved about nine times, and is
expected to be moved again on
Wednesday while government of-
ficials and lobbyists work out how
to deal with the situation.
Here at Marist, the effects of the
recession may not seem as severe,
but people everywhere are af-
fected.
"As a volunteer with Habitat for
Humanity I believe that local gov-
ernments should initiate pro-
grams similar to how Habitat
works," Timothy Ondrey, a fifth
year student, said. "Families and
individuals would register with
their local government and given
space at 'transition housing'. This
program would require the habi-
tants will work with a group to
support their family, become edu-
cated and work towards obtaining
a permanent job and housing."

ers are too harsh. While some
penalties should be enacted for
this infraction, the revoking of
the drivers' commercial licenses
could put stress on bus and truck
drivers, and could also lead to
drivers losing their jobs.
Senate Democrats, such as
Sen. Robert Mendez of New Jer-
sey, state that support bills
against texting while driving
have been increasing stead.ily in
the past months due to the
amount of injuries and deaths
that have been related to dis-
tracted driving. The Department
of Transportation reports that
over 5,000 people were killed and
an additional 500,000 people were
injured last year in accidents
where distracted driving was a
factor.
Obama faces packed schedule
By
ELIZABETH PEARL
Staff Writer
Most college students would define
''busy'' as a full class schedule, a job,
and extracurricular activities. Presi-
dent Obama's definition is slightly dif-
ferent - health care reform, economic
recovery legislation, wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and the nuclear ambi-
tions of possibly hostile countries like
Iran. His agenda is slightly fuller than
the typical Marist student. In fact,
some are saying that it is a little too
full, even for a President.
With health care and financial re-
form as his top priorities, Obama is
pressured to get these two key issues
taken care of this fall. A health care
bill is being pushed through Congress,
and the administration announced on
Monday a new plan to help lower un-
employment rates, which rose to 9.8
percent in September.
According to JoAnne Myers, an as-
sistant professor of political science,
keeping the economy at the top of this
agenda is a wise idea, because, "most
people blame the economy on the
president, and that's how they vote."
Obama faces tough foreign concerns
like the two wars being fought in Iraq
and Afghanistan. His decisions on
whether or not to send more troops or
bring some back from either nation
will greatly affect the United States.
Also, hidden nuclear facilities have re-
cently been discovered in Iran. Obama
will have to deal with nuclear possi-
bilities on a global scale.
His promise to close Guantanamo
Bay by January of 2010 most likely
will not be made a reality. While this
could be attributed to overexertion,
Myers credited it to over-eagerness -
the assurance of the deadline was
made before he knew the difficulties
of being president. According to her,
"we need a president who can handle
a lot at once."
But recently Obama seems to have
bitten off more than he can chew. His
one-day trip to Copenhagen to bid for
Chicago's 2016 Olympic ambitions,
according to some students, took him
away from important issues that re-
quired his attention.
However, many people feel that
Obama is doing just the right amount
of work. A Pew Research Poll in
March revealed that only 35 percent
of the population saw him as trying to
take on too much, while 56 percent
felt that he is doing well.
In
fact, taking on a lot of issues at
once sometimes is the best procedure.
According to Myers, a good politician
should be able to see how different
areas of policy interrelate with each
other.
''The economy trumps all other is-.
sues. We relate everything to the
economy. This is why we need health
care, a good environmental policy, a
good trade policy, and a good defense
policy." The solution to one of these is-.
sues could help solve the other,
sq .
working on all of them at one
tim~
could result in faster and more suc-
cessful changes.
While Obama did enter the office
with his own agenda, taking on the
presidency also meant taking on the
problems left for him by the Bush ad-
ministration, like the economic crisis
and the conflicts in the Middle East.
Myers said that while some presi-
dents have been either reactive or
proactive, "unfortunately this presi-
dent will have to be both." This neces-
sity is what forces him to focus on
many issues at once - he must solve
old problems while fulfilling campaign
promises.

Experienced tweeter debuffs twitter myths
By
COURTNEY DAVIS
Staff Writer
Many people are curious when
they find out that I am on Twitter.
They want to know how I got in-
volved and why it interests me.
Non-Twitter users have some mis-
conceptions about the Web site, so I
thought I would clear up some of
those myths and maybe even con-
vert some people to Twitter.
Misconception No. 1: I will spend
my time reading what celebrities
had for lunch. .
This false impression is common
among Non-Twitter users. My an-
swer to this is you can make your
Twitter experience whatever you
want it to be. If you want to track
your favorite stars and memorize
their every move, by all means, you
can do that. But you can also use it
to advance your career and learn
more about the industry you are in-
terested in. As a public relations
and advertising major, I follow
agencies and firms that "tweet"
about the latest trends and ad-
vances in the field. Often times,
agencies will link to their blog posts,
webinars or articles found in "The
New York Times" or "Adweek." If
these are relevant and interesting,
I will "retweet" them so my follow-
ers can learn about these things too.
This increases your opportunities
for networking and getting your
name out there.
Misconception No. 2: With so
many other things I have to do,
Twitter is a waste of time.
While I do admit to spending a
great deal of time on Twitter, I do
not consider that time being wasted.
I catch up on breaking news and
stay informed about developing sto-
ries by following @msnbc_breaking
and @nytimes. Also, I don't con-
sider that I'm wasting my time
when I am learning of job opportu-
nities or getting advice from indus-
try professionals. I follow sites that
post job availabilities and I hear of
openings for internships from dif-
ferent agencies around the country.
Agencies often post blog entries
about how to be a stellar intern or
landing your first entry-level posi-
tion. Twitter allows me to stay in-
volved with companies with
minimal effort.
· Misconception No. 3: -No one
wants to hear what I have to say.
This one is definitely not true.
People will follow you because they

are interested in what you bring to
the table. If you can provide insight
to a problem or just off~r an opinion
on a topic, then your contributions
are worthwhile. Many tweeters
post questions or ideas that they
need feedback for. This has proven
effective in the past for me and I
have contributed to other people's
questions as well.
If you are considering joining
Twitter or are already a member,
here are some hints on how to be a
more effective Twitter user.
First, updating too often will irri-
tate your followers. Twitter is not
just about letting people know what
you ate for lunch. Update when you
have something valuable to say or
something you think your followers
will find interesting.
Definitely retweet when some-
thing catches your eye. Usually,
your followers are interested in sim-
ilar things that you are interested
in, so pass along articles, blog posts,
or thoughts that would be of impor-
tance to them.
Be sure to pose questions to your
followers, ask them for advice, or
answer other people's questions. It
is great to be an active participant
in the conversation and your follow-

ers will want to engage with you
too.
Finally, send tweets from your
phone to stay current even if you
are away from your computer. After
you have signed up for a free ac-
count (it's free!), go to settings then
devices to register your phone num-
ber. You can easily text your tweets
to 40404 after you have signed up.
Twitter is not just about status up-
dates, like on Facebook, it is much
more involved than that and it can
be a great tool for advancing your
career, networking, and personal
brand.

Perspectives: Alumnus gives advice to seniors
By
AMY
WHEELER
Staff Writer
David Hochman,
graduate of the
class of '08, knows
a thing or two
about making the
most of his Marist
experience.
From double con-
centrations to in-
ternships to study
abroad, he did it all.
He was a Communications major
a double concentration in sports
unications and journalism and
a minor in global studies. He had in-
tentships at the Bergen Record, the
NJ Devils hockey team, a sports mar-
keting agency in NYC, fJ.Ild the Times
Herald Record, during which he got
to work in the press box of a Y ank.ee
game and interview players in the
locker room.
He studied abroad in Australia,
worked at the Marist Poll, partied at
Darby's and ate at the Palace Diner.
And then, he graduated. A few
weeks after graduation, he started
interning in the Public Relations de-
partment of the National Hockey
League. ''This ended up being a 6-
month dream job," he said. ''I met
some wonderful people and worked
with so many great professionals; it
really was unbelievable. I could write
a book about those six great months."
After New Year's however, he went
through some life changes, and
started luoking fur a new job and a
new direction in life. In attempt to
find this direction, he tried out a yoga
class and fell in love with it. He
started taking three to six classes a
day before he found a new job in
sports marketing. He has made yoga
an even bigger part of his life by re-
cently becoming an instructor.
''Practicing Yoga has been amaz-
ing to de-stress my life and keep me
as level-headed as possible," he said.
''I highly recommend it to anyone."
AB
for his new job, he said it may
not be his dream job, and it is not
what he pictured himself doing, but
combining it with yoga at night and
on the weekends, he is enjoying him-
self.
"rm always longing for something
more; we all should be," he said. ''We
should always hope for something
great and strive to be bettering our-
selves in every facet of life that we
can."
Now, for some advice from David
for our graduating seniors who are
currently in crisis mode and the un-
derclassman who we are envying
with all of their time left here.
1.
Senior year is going to be
over before you know it. Make every
day count. Make every night count.
If
you're in your bedroom at home, go
into the common room. Just relax
with your friends. Talk about noth-
ing at all. This time next year, you
won't have that. Treasure the mo-
ments you have today with all of your
friends.
2.
Don't worry about money and
jobs. You're at Marist. You wouldn't
be there if you and your family could-
n't make it work. Things in the job
and marketplace are already improv-
ing. What you need to do now, is keep
having fun and keep learning. Pick
your professors' minds. Do your
work, but don't stress out about the
little things. Keep making time for
yourself and your friends.
3.
Intern
if
you can because con-
nections in your field of interest and
in any interest are paramount. Don't
freak out
if
you don't have one
though. Take the time to talk to pro-
fessors and other staff at school who
can help. Use Facebook, Twitter,
Linkedln and the vast array of social
media out there to connect with
Marist alumni and any professionals
in their field. We love to help out stu-
dents and people coming into the
work force. It makes us feel impor-
tant and like we are doing something
good for our community. Don't be
afraid to i:~ach out. We've been where
you are, and we definitely want to
help you as much as we can.
4.
Marist was a great prepara-
tion for the real world. You may not
even think it while you're still in
school, but all of a sudden when
you're on a job interview or just net-
working with executives in e-mails,
you know the right things to say and
the right way to approach these situ-
ations because Marist has taught us
well. It doesn't matter what our
major is·, we are all Red Foxes and
are all bred similarly to be successful.
5.
Study abroad. Being on my
own for almost six months on foreign
soil that was a challenge I never
knew how to approach. It was such a
wonderful experience because I was
continually learµing on the fly. I was
learning about politics and lifestyles
from students my age who grew up in
every part of the world. Everyone
had different opinions and insights
on the same topics, whether it was
September 11 or the military coup in
Fiji. I learned more from my time in
Australia than any other time period
in my life and I owe that opportunity
to Marist; I'm still so grateful for it.
6.
Don't think about gradua-
tion. It's going to happen and you
can't stop it, as much as you want to.
When it comes, you'll handle it as
best you can. You'll laugh, you'll cry,
you'll smile. And it
will be over in a
flash. That's why you need to have as
much fun with the little things that
you can. Those late nights staying up
to talk and watch movies will be just
as memorable as senior formal.
7.
You can come back to visit.
Having friends at school younger
than you is a great excuse. There is a
feeling there that is hard to explain.
It's like you never left. When you
cross the Mid Hudson Bridge and
pull up to campus on Route 9, it's like
you're moving back in and you've just
been at home for the weekend. It's re-
ally tough.
8.
You will miss: seeing every-
one in the old hangouts, going to
Darby's together, heading to the
Palace Diner at 3 a.m. or Kona for
breakfast in the morning. I'm pretty
sure every time I go to a diner, either
I or one of my friends mentions a Red
Fox wrap. That should be a staple at
every dirier across the country, just
like omelets. I also still miss the
Cabaret a lot. That place helped me
through freshman year like no other.
I miss the river the most. I have lots
of special, personal memories of the
river, spending time down there, or
just looking out at it from the library
or Champagnat. And. of cours~, that
goes hand in hand with missing all of
my friends I made at school.
9.
I highly recommend taking
your time after graduation to explore
yourselves as much as exploring the

CIRCLE

campus.
world. If you don't have a job right
away, don't worry. Go see some new
things and enjoy yourself. You don't
even have to backpack across Eu-
rope. Many of us won't be able to af.
ford that. Just make sure to do what
makes you happy and feel good. Go to
NYC and be a tourist for the day. Go
back up to Marist and be a tourist
throughout the Hudson Valley. Just
have some fun while you're waiting
to start your career.
10.
The most surprising thing
about the real world: how expensive
food and health insurance are. It's
quite the buzzkill when you start
try-
ing to make money and start trying
to save.
In closing, he leaves us with these
thoughts: "Everything happened in
my four years for a reason. I met
some of the greatest people I've ever
known and made friends that I truly
believe will last a lifetime. And the
memories I have with hundreds of
friends and classmates
will live for-
ever in my mind and in my heart.
Thinking about the great times we
shared in Poughkeepsie and all
around simply makes me happy."
Talking Tarot: Fool card calls for leap of faith
BY JENNIFER MEYERS
Staff Writer
Taking a leap of
faith is something
that a lot of peo-
ple are afraid to
do. If The Fool
comes up in a psy-
chic reading, it is
telling you to do
just that.
The whole point
of the Fool is to
not live life so timidly. The Fool is
generally seen with his head held
high signifying certainty that what
he is doing is the right thing to do.
He would agree that life is unpre-
dictable and exciting, but some-
times rather ridiculous.
The symbol of the white rose sig-
nifies innocence in which the Fool
does not realize the danger in what
he is doing. The dog also relates to
this because he is white and trying
to warn the Fool from going off over
the edge of the mountain. yes, the
Fool is about taking risks with that
leap of faith, but also about being
careful on where you decide to take
your chance of life. The sun and the
pole together symbolizes the enthu-
siasm of taking that jump into the
unknown but keeping in mind that
the dog is there as your guide.
Now, we are all fools. The Fool in
us only wants to experience life for
what it has to offer, entering into it
with an open mind like that of a
child. The Fool is telling us that we
shouldn't be afraid to take risks and
to not cry over our mistakes.
Because we are all in our college
career, stress can be a major upset
from day to day. But if we keep in
mind that life is just too short and
ridiculous and are able to just laugh
at the idea, then the stressfulness of
everyday college life would be more
manageable. If we just sit and dwell
on the fact that we are stressed out,
it won't do any good.
For the Fool, the excitement and
unknowing of the moment is the
best part of everyday.
The Fool tells us to be curious,
spontaneous, and playful. He tells
us that we shouldn't take life so se-
riously when there is so much to
enjoy.
There is, however, a reverse to all
the happy thoughts of the Fool. The
factor there is that you might be
taking yourself much too seriously,
which may result in upset and
anger because we are not living life
by taking risks. Of course, taking
risks is not always good when you
don't pay attention to where you
jump.
There is also a "shadow" to the
Fool meaning irresponsibility, reck-
lessness or intolerance. Yes, it is
still saying to take risks, but the
Fool's message is
also that of matu-
rity. The Fool's
journey is that of
knowledge and
wisdom,
being
mature about the
decisions
we
make but still
having fun in the
process.
0
It is time to ................. ..__ ...... .__. ...... __.
commit and really think about what
it is that our life is about and going
into it with an open mind. The Fool
is NOT about being a "fool" about
our decisions. We need to pay at-
tention to the warning signs, such
as the dog for the Fool, except here
on earth we have to be more in-tune
to our surroundings. Some advice
that the Fool will give us is
"Look
before you leap, or you may go off
the deep end," or "Stop wandering.
It's time to commit."

Fall for these upcoming albums
By LAUREN FOSTER
Circle Contributor
The Flaming Lips "Embry-
onic" (Oct. 13)
This band, known .for ridiculous
opstage antics, is releasing a 12th
album in the form of a double LP.
"Embryonic" is fantastically psy-
chedelic, and includes more
"freak-out vibes" than their previ-
ous material. The album is less or-
ganized, more raw, and has
distinct Pink Floyd and John
Lennon undertones. Notorious for
being strange, the Lips have
peaked in oddity with "Embry-
onic."
FROM YENRA.COM
Start
celebrating Christmas
ear1y
on
Oct.
13
with Bob Dylan's new album ·christ-
mas in the
Heart."
The album will include
a collection
of
classlc holiday songs.
Bob Dylan "Christmas in the
Heart" (Oct. 13)
Bob Dylan is releasing his 4 7th
album this fall, comprising of a
compilation of classic holiday
songs. To some, it might seem a
pity that Dylan, famous for his po-
etic lyrics, is not singing his own
words; however, it is for the sake
of charity. All U.S. royalties from
album sales will go to Feeding
America- the largest domestic
hunger-relief charity. So add this
CD to your collection or give it as
a gift and you can make a differ-
ence this holiday season.
Alec Ounsworth "Mo Beauty"
(Oct. 20)
Alec Ounsworth, the singer/song-
writer from the indie rock group,
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, is re-
leasing his solo debut album. He
collaborated with prominent mu-
sicians from New Orleans with
bands like the Meters and Galac-
tic. But, while one might expect to
hear a New Orleans' twang of
jazz, funk, or blues, "Mo Beauty"
bears strong resemblan.ce to the
works of Clap Your Hands Say
Yeah.
Say Anything "Say Anything"
(Nov. 3)
Say Anything will be putting out
their fourth studio album in early
November. On the last album, "In
Defense of the Genre," Max Bemis
was "reaping the benefits of years
of ... being stuck in a terrible rela-
tionship." These days, Bemis, now
married, is in a new state of mind
and this upcoming album changes
focus to asking "what the purpose
of it all was." The self-titled record
will be more concise, more origi-
nal, and will mark the beginning
of a new phase for Say Anything.
FROM REALMUSICPEOPLE.COM
OneRepublic ''Waking Up"
(Nov. 17)
After breaking digital down-
loading records with the hit,
"Apologize," OneRepublic is gear-
ing up to release their sophomore
album, "Waking Up." Frontman
Ryan Tedder, who has composed
and produced hits with well-
known artists such as Beyonce
and Kelly Clarkson, aims to be-
come genre-less. However, he
keeps himself in check by remark-
ing, "Of course, we need to have
hits. Let's not kid ourselves, we're
not Radiohead."
Love music?
Switchfoot "Hello Hurricane"
(Nov. 10)
Switchfoot, a San Diego rock
band, disengaged from Columbia
Records, and has formed an inde-
pendent label, called Lowercase
People Records. Jon Foreman, the
1
band's lead singer, explains that
their goals are to "remove the cor- ;
porate barrier between our audi-
ence and our songs musically, we
wanted to go places we've never
been before."
John Mayer "Battle Studies"
(Nov. 17)
"Battle Studies," John Mayer's
follow-up album to "Continuum"
(2006), will venture in a radically
different direction. Where "Con-
tinuum" incorporated blues and
rock, Battle Studies is pop-based.
Mayer says, "[Y]ou don't fol-
low ... [Continuum], you step to the
side and continue with something
new." The first single released is
"Who Says," and it is more folkish
than previous works. The first
line asks, "Who says I can't get
stoned?" But Mayer asserts that it
refers not to marijuana, but to
"being in control of the pleasures
in your life."
Lil Jon "Crunk Rock" (Nov. 24)
Rapper and producer Lil Jon
will debut his long-awaited solo
album, "Crunk Rock." The title is
a playful reference to the punk
rock genre. After pushing back the
release date for three years, Lil
Jon promises to deliver the record
on Nov. 24, 2009. Half of the
album is going to reflect past hits,
such as "Get Low," and the album
even includes "Snap Yo Fingers"-
a major 2006 hit. But the second
half will be rock-influenced. Many

Vampire Week-

tween Vampire
Weekend's debut
and sophomore
album has felt
like an eternity.
After posting a
countdown on a sister site specifi-
cally for their new album, "Con-
tra," fans were finally treated with
a new jam to hold them over to the
January release date. Trading in
guitars for a kalimba, marimba,
and a Yamaha VSS-30 (Rostam
Batmanglij purchased on eBay),
the song fits the island artwork
providing an essential jam for
lounging on a remote island under
a bright sunny sky. The produc-
tion has been amped up a notch
too, with numerous crisp textures
going on frequently throughout. If
the rest of this sophomore album
matches this single's caliber, Vam-

Lady GaGa and Madonna's tussle
on Saturday Night Live last week
came at an appropriate time. The
leaked demo for GaGa's latest sin-
gle, found on "The Fame Monster"
reissue (due Nov. 24), is an epic
anthem that charges with
Madonna like fury. According to
GaGa's Twitter, this leaked ver-
sion makes "her ears bleed," and
teases us with "wait [until] you
hear the real version." We will
wait impatiently. From this early
taste, it sounds like Lady GaGa
has another monster hit in her
hands.

"Graffiti," his goal was to emulate

to go Optimus Prime on his public

negativity surrounding him after
his domestic violence episode with
Rihanna. With the help of Lil
Wayne and Swizz Beats, it is diffi-
cult to not enjoy his music despite
his poor life decisions. Will it
transform your opinion of Chris

Walking on water: Traversing the Hudson
By CHRISTA STROBINO
Staff Writer
So you wanna run across the
new Mid-Hudson walkway
bridge? Training for any type
of distance running takes
time and dedication. Whether
you're an avid runner and
want to set a record time for
the 1.25 mile long run or if
you can barely run for one
minute without becoming out
of breath, I have some tips for
you.
According to "The Begin-
ner's Guide to Long Distance ·
Running" by Sean Fishpool,
there are four golden rules to
any type of long distance run-
ning.
The first rule is to build up
slowly. One reason that in-
juries happen comes from peo-
ple who try running too much
too quickly. Building slowly
will allow you to improve
more quickly in the long term
by being patient about in-
creasing your speed and
mileage. Another thing to
avoid is increasing speed and
Top 10 List
Ways
to
freak out
your roommate
By KATELYNN WALSH
Circle Contributor
1. Whenever someone calls your cell
phone, answer the door.
2. Stand on a chair and announce
that you are going to take a shower
every time you do so.
3. Pick your nose, stare at your fin-
ger after, then look at your roommate,
raise your eyebrows and smile.
4. Wake up screaming at 3 am every
morning.
5. Have a shrine of pictures of your
roommate in your closet.
6. Stand over your roommate's bed
and watch them sleep every morning
until they wake up.
7. Every time your roommate comes
back to the room, do a victory dance
and yell.
8.
Buy a plant and argue with it
daily.
9.
Every time your roommate
sneezes, run out of the room scream- ·
ing.
10. Steal your roommates underwear
and wear it outside your pants.
mileage at the same time;
once you have built a base of
low-intensity running, you
can ease gradually into speed
work.
The second rule is to take
rest
days. Yes, I am encour-
aging you to take days off
from running and to 'relax.
Your body needs to recover.
What most people don't real-
ize is that your body builds
fitness after your runs rather
during, which is why a day off
every few days is crucial to
your running goals.
The third rule is to warm
up and cool down, a step
that most people fail to or
regard as important. Your
muscles, joints, ligaments and
tendons need plenty of time to
ease into a run. Normally,
these parts of your body are
short and tight which is why
stretching or starting off with
a fast walk or slow jog is im-
portant to warm up these
parts. It's also equally impor-
tant to do these things at the
end of your run.
RYAN HllTTON/THE CIRCLE
Trails and
treks:
The
Walkway
Over the Hudson
provides
an exciting new running
route.
The
last
golden rule is to
pay attention to injury. As
obvious as this may be, most
people will notice a discomfort
in their muscle and choose to
ignore it. Damage to your
body will only get worse if you
try to run through it. If you
have persistent pain, rest and
put ice on the sore area. If the
pain continues or worsens,
see your local doctor or even a
trainer at your gym; early
treatment will bring a swifter
recovery.
There are many benefits to
running which is why I en-
courage all of you to get
started right away. Running
helps you lose weight, gain
confidence, boost your energy,
sculpt a better body, lead a
healthier lifestyle.

Red impression left on Big Green
BY JIM URSO
Staff Writer
The Red Foxes continued their
strong season last weekend, captur-
ing one singles draw championship,
three singles back draw titles, and
two doubles crowns at the Big Green
tennis
Tournament at Dartmouth
College.
The tournament con-
cluded Sunday, with Junior Marcus
von Nordheim winning the Flight E
singles main draw. Von Nordheim
took three sets to defeat Ales De
Chattelus of Dartmouth. The final
scores were 6-7 (2), 6-3, 10-5.
"This weekend was definitely a con-
fidence booster for Marcus," coach
Tim Smith said.
Senior Loic Sessagesimi, sophomore
Matt Himmelsbach and junior Hank
Bessinger each won the back draw of
Flights B, C and D respectively, all
over opponents from Williams Col-
lege. Sessagesimi defeated Bryan
Chow, 6-1, 7-6 (5), Himmelsbach
bested Zach Weiss, 6-4, 7-5, and
Bessinger beat Air Binder 6-4, 7-6 (5).
''I was really impressed with Hank,"
Smith said. "He's a wonderful
fighter."
From Page

In doubles action, Christian Coley
and Rhys Hobbs reached the finals by
defeating Alex Kalanin and Kirill
Kololyts of Buffalo, 8-5. In the finals,
they bested Jeff Freeman and
Michael Laser of Dartmouth, 8-6.
In
Flight B, Sessagesimi and Bessinger
won their seminal matchup over Ju~
lian Camacho and Jon Thaler of
Amherst, 8-2. In the title match, the
pair narrowly beat Kevin Cox and
DeChattelus of Dartmouth 9-8 (5).
''Loic and Hank are the best doubles
team right now," Smith said. ''I'm
very happy with the chemistry there."
Both players acknowledged the
dif-
ficulty in playing with a new player,
and their ability to overcome it based
on complementary -playing styles.
''I'm really aggressive at the net,
and Loic's really good in the back on
the baseline," Bessinger said.
"Hank's all fire," Sessagesimi said.
Also, their ability to get along off
the court has enhanced their play.
''If
you don't get along off the court,
it's hard to be good on," Sessagesimi
said.
''We have that do anything for each
other mentality," Bessinger said.
Overall, Smith was impressed with
the play, but sees need for improve-
ment in two specific areas.
"Still, we're not playing as smart
as we should or looking for situa-
tional points," Smith said. "Also, we
aren't pressuring opponents, giving
opponents shots they have to do
more with."
Smith
is
confident his team will
pick up their mental game. He em-
phasized the time and routine in-
volved in reaching an apex of mental
prowess and physical skill.
Last Monday after practice, Smith
wandered into the McCann center to
find some of his players devoting
extra time to agility work.
"I
think we'll get there," Smith
said.

Campbell's final points of the contest
would come on a one-yard run by
Daniel Polk following a lengthy 11-
play, 73-yard drive that lasted nearly
six and a half minutes.
Marist took a 20-13 lead into half-
time after Debowski had a one-yard
touchdown run of his own.
"Campbell
is
a very big and physical
football team," Parady said. 'They
found some seams with us, but the big
thing with our defense
is
that we shut

Sophomore Rodney Hill led the team

"Our
defense was lacking at first,"
Hill said. ''In the second half, coach
[Parady] gave us an earful, and we
came out stronger and more solid."
The Fighting Camel defense was
able to weather a trip to the red zone
by Marist early in the third quarter,
and they held the Red Foxes scoreless
in the frame.
''I thought they had a pretty good at-
tack [defensively] against us, "Parady
said. 'They played some different
things than what we had prepared on
film
for, and that caused us some con-
fusion."
With just over 12 minutes remain-
ing in the game, a botched snap on a
field goal attempt forced the holder,
Ted Moore, to try and make a play.
The pass fell incomplete, and th.e Red
Foxes got the ball back.
Marist gained a huge chunk of

The Red Foxes will have an opportu-

Quick hits of the week in Marist athletics
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y.-
Taking part in an event-filled weekend, the
Marist men's heavyweight crew team placed
in third in the Quadricentennial Poughkeep-
sie Regatta. The races, which took place im-
mediately before the highly anticipated
opening of the Walkway over the Hudson, had
over 2,000 spectators, an astronomical num-
ber for a collegia~ crew event.
"Combined with family weekend and the
walkway opening, there really was a height-
ened exposure for both the sport, and the
i..ver," coach Tom Sanford said.
The contests began with the Women's 8,
consisting of seven crews. The Cornell women
secured victory with a time of 24:39.5, fo1-
lowed by Syracuse with a time of 25:05. 73.
Pennsylvania, Columbia, Army and Vassar
came next, respectively, with the Marist
women bringing up the rear in seventh.

Freshman Jaclynn Sabia has three goals for the

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -
Another year, and another overtime battle
with Fairfield for the Marist women's soccer
team. Two years ago, it was Marist who won.
Last year, Fairfield defeated the Foxes in
overtime. This year, neither could come out
on top as the two teams battled to a 1-1 draw.
Next came the men's lightweight, which
consisted of only four crews. The Marist crew
finished last, while Navy finished first, Cor-
nell took second and Pennsylvania claimed
third.
The Foxes placed third in the men's heavy-
weight field behind Cornell, claiming its sec-
ond first place finish on the day, and Army,
who finished second. Columbia came in
fourth, with Vassar straggling over the finish
line in fifth.
''To have teams like Cornell and Syracuse,
with such long rowing histories back on the
river was very impressive to see," Sanford
said. "Everyone who attended and everyone
who participated felt that the event was a
success."
-Compiled by Chris Eisenhardt
The draw extended the Foxes' unbeaten
streak to six games, a program record. The
streak ended after a 1-0 defeat on Sunday at
Iona. After the weekend, the Foxes are 2-1-1
in the MAAC, which is good for a tie for third
with Canisius.
In
the matchup against Fairfield on Friday,
freshman Jaclynn Sabia continued to play
great soccer by scoring her third goal of the
season.
"Sabia's just such a special player," coach
Elizabeth Roper said. "She has a really great
offensive attack and she's so effective finish-
ing."
Senior Kate Fox had the assist on the Sabia
goal. She now has 51 career points, making
her eight -shy of the Maris-t program record
held by Jamie Bierwirth.
Marist keeper Jamie Balzarini matched a
career-high with 10 saves in the match
against Fairfield.
On Sunday, the Foxes put 10 shots on goal
against the Gaels, led by Sabia who had
three.
Sitting atop the MAAC right now is Loyola.
The Greyhounds are 3-0 and will get a visit
from Marist on Friday, Oct. 9. The Foxes will
try to knock Loyola from its perch and make
headway in the conference.

Red Hot Fox: Marist's star athlete of the week
By
PHILIP TERRIGNO
Sports Editor
Patience has been the key for
O'Neil .Anderson throughout his
football career at Marist College.
The senior has dealt with strug-
gles throughout his Marist career.
He has had to recover from multi-
ple hamstring injuries, and has
been stuck playing behind Obozua
Ehikioya, the school's record holder
for touchdowns and rushing yards
in Division I, his whole career.
Lately, however, Anderson has
just been patiently waiting for the
blocks to develop in front of him
after he gets the ball on a handoff.
The Dorchester, Mass. product
has exploded in the past three
games, rushing for 86, 133, and 132
yards respectively.
"[He's been] awesome," said sen-
ior quarterback Chris Debowski.
"He stepped in be-

the switch to the Pioneer Football

sition. Your team believes that you

go in with that mindset. We feel
like we are in a good position."
Just like the rest of the Marist
-College football program, Anderson
has progressed immensely since the
days of Marist playing in the
MAAC.
"He had some hamstring issues
in some previous years. The thing
that you have to give him credit for
is thzt he stuck with it and he's now
healthy," coach Jim Parady said.
"You can see him progress into a
complete running back. His pass
protection is better, his blocking is
better, people don't notice that.
They notice the yards, but that's
what I'm most pleased with."

lessly on the Marist 22-yard line.
football
It would be indicative
of their insubstantial effort in the
Red Foxes 34-13 drubbing of their
Pioneer Football League foes.
Marist totaled 345 yards of offense
in the victory, its first in program
history as a member of the PFL.
"It was an enjoyable day for every-
body involved with the program,"
coach Jim Parady said. "It's great to
get that first win, and the feeling of
getting the first one. It's especially
important because it gets us moving
in the right direction."
Senior quarterback Chris De-
bowski, making his first start back
after being injured for the past two
games, completed 8 of his 1 7 pass-
ing attempts for 122 yards, and
rushed for 55 more.
"I feel like our offense is coming
along more," Debow ski said. 'We
were able to focus on taking advan-
tage of the defense on the ground."
Keeping in line with their typical
game plan of a running back by
committee, seven Red Foxes had
rushing attempts on the afternoon
and four different runners scored
touchdowns.
''They [the defense] don't know
who's going to get the ball," De-
bowski said. "It opens up way more
doors and opportunities for us."
Senior O'Neil Anderson ran for
132 of Marist's 263 rushing yards
and one touchdown on just 15 car-
ries.
''The offensive line performed at a
very high level," Parady said. 'We
had some rushers, like O'Neil, mak-
ing some people miss at the second
and third level which extended
runs."
Junior Greg Whipple capped a 60-
yard opening drive of the game with
a touchdown run, and the Kevin
Pauly extra point gave Marist a 7-0
lead.
Campbell quarterback Daniel
Polk got his team on the board with
an eight-yard touchdown run on the
ensuing drive, but a missed extra
point kept Marist in the lead, 7-6.
