Marist remembers Robert Stone
By KRISTEN DOMONELL and
AMANDA LAVERGNE
News Editors
The Marist community is mourn-
ing the loss of one of its own.
Robert Stone, a junior political sci-
ence major who was studying
abroad at Scuola Lorenzo de' Medici
in Florence, Italy, died in Rome on
Friday, Nov. 13, after falling down
a steep flight of stairs outside of the
church of Santa Maria d'Aracoeli.
He would have celebrated his 20th
birthday Monday, Nov. 23.
Tim Massie, the college's chief
public affairs officer, called the acci-·
dent "tragic," and said Stone was "a
young man who had great promise."
"His death is a tremendous loss for
his family, his many friends, our
college, and our world," Massie said.
On Wednesday, the Marist com-
munity was invited to the Chapel to
light a candle and sign a memorial
book in memory of Stone, followed
by a service.
Coinciding with this event, the
Lorenzo de'Medici campus held a
ceremony that included a candle-
light vigil and poetry readings. All
of the mementos and condolences
collected at that ceremony will be
shipped to Stone's family.
Meg Franklin, the director of the
Florence campus, said in a tele-
phone interview that counseling
group sessions, as well as individual
appointments with counselors, have
been made available to all students
studying in Italy.
Franklin said students studying
abroad, or planning to study abroad,

should be reminded to be extra care-
ful when traveling, and watch for
the same dangers that exist at
home, such as traffic, heights and
pickpockets.
"Having read all the reports and
spoken to the many officials in-
volved, I can tell you that this was a
terribly, tragic accident with no
other compelling factors and it
could have happened anywhere,"
Franklin said.
Stone's peers took to the Internet
to share condolences and messages
about him on his Facebook page. A
common theme surfacing from the
posts was Stone's desire to make the
world
a
better place.
''The impact you had on everyone
you met is unbelievable," one friend
wrote. "I have talked to so many
people who want to help make sure
you are remembered as an incredi-
ble, selfless person who wanted to
change the world."
''Your work isn't done, just contin-
ued from a better view," read an-
other post.
''May heaven be as beautiful as
your photos," a Marist alum wrote.
Stone was a photo enthusiast and
worked as a staff photographer for
The Circle last semester.
In the summer of 2008, Stone
traveled to South Africa with a
group of Marist students for a short-
term abroad program, which in-
cluded a service component helping
children in an impoverished village.
Program Director Eddie Summers
got to know Stone well on this trip.
"[Stone] was concerned wjth is-
sues of social justice, equity and
fairness for all," Summers said.
"Rob believed that we can all make
a difference in the world if we con-
tributed our time to a cause. Rob
was someone whose passion, drive
and dedication would have helped to
change the world, whether through
photography, service, lobbying or
other means. He without a doubt
would have chosen a career path
that would have allowed him to
make a difference in people's lives."
Summers said Stone was very en-
thusiastic about Invisible Children,
an organization that makes docu-
mentaries about war-affected chil-
dren in East Africa.
The organization has memorial-
ized Stone on its Web site,
http://blog.invisiblechildren.com,
calling him a "true millennial revo-
lutionary." According to the Web
site, Stone volunteered and was a
photographer for Invisible Children
events in New York City, and hoped
to work with the organization after
graduation.
"He will always be missed and
loved by his family and friends," the
tribute said. "His passion for justice
and peace in East Africa will remain
his legacy."
Class raises Alzheimer's awareness
By ALLISON DUFFY
Staff Writer
Marist College's "Forget Me Not"
Alzheimer's Association fundraiser
will be held this weekenc;l in the
Cabaret.
The event, which is spearheaded
by Alex Corbett, Lindsay Milone
and Joan Williams - members of
one of Marist's senior communica-
tions capping classes - will be held
Sunday, Nov. 22 from 3 p.m. to 6
p.m. The idea came about after
Milone attended a fundraiser for the
association's Hudson Valley branch
at Mahoney's Irish Pub earlier in
the semester.
''We wanted Marist to see how
many young adults deal with this
disease," Milone said. ''Most people
see Alzheimer's as a disease that
only affects the elderly, but in real-
ity young adults and people in our
age group have to face the horrors
of the disease every day."
In addition to the fundraiser, the
group filmed a documentary for the
Alzheimer's Association that will
premiere on Sunday, in the midst of
National Alzheimer's Disease
Awareness Month. The documen-
tary highlights similar events for
the organization in the community
and raises awareness of the disease.
Marist students also offer their per-
spectives throughout the video.
"Our documentary gives a voice to
young
adults
affected
by
Alzheimer's disease," Milone said.
"What we are saying is that if
Alzheimer's disease affects one in
three people, the chance of you
knowing someone whose life has
been
affecte~
by the disease is very
great."
The documentary provides per-
sonal accounts of people affected by
the disease, allowing students to
better understand what the disease
is like.
"Alex's father has Alzheimer's dis-
ease, and we filmed an interview be-
tween the two of them to showcase
in our documentary," Williams said.
''Lindsay's grandmother is also cur-
rently suffering, and my aunt died
three years ago from the disease."
Although Sunday's event is free,
those who attend are asked to make
a contribution. Anyone who does so
will be entered in a prize drawing.
Raffle prizes, including a DVD
player and movies, gift certificates
to Lola's Cafe, Cosimo's Trattoria,
and Noah's Ark, and assorted gift
baskets are also available.
Marist's own Pops and the Jazz
Foxes, the Sirens and Time Check
will entertain attendees with musi-
cal performances. Refreshments, do-
nated by Pleasant Ridge III and
Starbucks, will be provided. All pro-
ceeds from the event will benefit the
Alzheimer's Association.
According to the Associations Web
site, www.alz.org, the goal is to
eliminate Alzheimer's disease
through the advancement of re-
search; to provide and enhance care
and support for all affected; and to
reduce the risk of dementia through
the promotion of brain health.
"It is important for us to show a
new face of Alzheimer's that stu-
dents can relate to," Williams said,
"so that they stay informed and can
learn how to help."

Security Briefs
Brief writer caught, security gets last laugh
By
CHRIS RAIA
Karma is a cold, cold force to
reckon with. As you all know, I've
had a lot of fun this semester mock-
ing and ridiculing all of the poor stu-
dents who have gotten caught doing
something stupid. Well, over the
weekend, fate finally caught up
with me and ran me into the
ground. Since I shamelessly make
fun of everyone else, it's only fair
that I pay my dues. The following is
the first and better be the last secu-
rity brief I am forced to write in the
first person. Feel free to make fun of
me amongst yourselves. I guess I
deserve it.
11114 - Gartland
Friday was awesome. You know
when you wake up in the morning
and just have a feeling that you're
going to have a good day? I had
that feeling on crack. And it was a
good day. It was wing night in the
cafeteria, my roommate and I
bought a puzzle of Mickey Mouse
playing baseball and my friend got
a surprise package in the mail full
of delicious food. So many great
things happened. With our friend's
birthday coming up, I was feeling
confident about the weekend. So on
Friday night, we decided to have a
birthday party for our friend in my
house. We had beer in the house,
everyone was having fun and a few
hours passed without any prob-
lems. So we thought we were going
to get away with it. Do it and quit
it. No questions asked. We had
cfosed the windows, locked the
doors, shut the blinds - we were
fine, right? Wrong. We were fine
until the clock struck midnight.
The perfect day was over. At 12:15
a.m., when our friend opened my
front door, the RA on duty had just
enough time to peer in and see
what we were doing. Remember in

"The Wizard of Oz," when the
Wicked Witch of the West busted
into Munchkinland when Dorothy
put on her dead sister's shoes? Re-
member how the munchkins pan-
icked and screamed and got the
hell out of there? That was my
house. Scatter, scatter, scatter!
It
was quite a scene. But I digress.
The end result, a total of five stu-
dents were written up, myself
being one of them. I personally
duinped 15 beers down my kitchen
sink, so for that, I will award my-
self 15 points.
So there you have it. I want to
apologize to anyone who I've of-
fended or made fun of this semes-
ter. But hopefully this story shows
that we're not so different, you and
I. Thanks for listening. Enough
about me, though. Moving on to
the rest of you. Oh, sidenote: I did
not mean to compare the RA on
duty to the Wicked Witch of the
West. The RA that wrote us up was
actually very nice.
11111 - Marian
Multiple students reported a noise
cpmplaint coming from a room on the
second floor of Marian. You would
think that there were a lot of people
in this room, making a lot of noise,
screaming and laughing. But it was
only one person. One person playing
video games, making enough noise
to
warrant a noise complaint. I know
the new Call of Duty just came out,
but really? 5 points
11/12 - Champagnat
More dirty phone calls. But this
time was different. Instead of a
creepy male voice calling unsus-
pecting females, this phone call was
a girl asking another girl the same
personal questions. Uh-oh ... Marist
is very risque now. Same rules
apply. Just hang up the phone. 10

points,
the extra five is because
this was the first girl-on-girl phone
call of the year. And I just realized
I said the phrase "girl on girl" in a
newspaper. That probably isn't
OK. ..
11112 - Leo
A third floor student was found
violently throwing up in the bath-
room at 11 p.m. The reason for the
vomit was apparently excessive al-
cohol and marijuana consumption.
That's not a good combination. He
was taken to St. Francis hospital
and probably woke up embar-
rassed. We're all in college, so we
should have a good time. 20
points
11/15 - Parking lot somewhere
I forgot to ask which parking lot
this took place in. Oops. But a
student found her car with a brand
new ticket attached to her wind-
shield. She then proceeded to
throw a fit. She crumpled the
ticket into a ball and threw it at a
security officer's face. And as if
that wasn't enough, she screamed
obscenities at the officer until he
finally walked away to go back to
his car. While he was walking
away, the student decided she
wasn't quite finished, called the of-
ficer back, just so that she could
scream more obscenities at him.
Bad call. I don't think security
likes that. Needless to say, she
still has to pay the ticket.

Activist speaks out against poverty
By
ELIZABETH PEARL
Staff Writer
On Nov. 10 Marc Kielburger, an
internationally recognized activist
against poverty and co-founder of
Free the Chiidren, a non-profit or-
ganization, gave a live speech at
Marist about his life and the bene-
fits of altruism. The speech was
heard by about 150 Marist students
and telecast to 81,000 people na-
tionwide. Kielburger, who has writ-
ten best-selling books in addition to
helping found Free the Children
and Me to We, called Marist stu-
dents to action in the fight against
poverty abroad and at home.
Kielburger's ·younger brother
began Free the Children, an organ-
ization that he said looks to "create
a more just and humanitarian soci-
ety," 14 years ago. Since then it has
risen to include over one million
young people in over 45 countries.
The program is run through volun-
teers and donations, whose time
and money go to building houses
and helping the 200 million kids
Students develop first annual senior
walk over the Hudson
Marist College senior communica-
tion students and The Class of 2010
government will host a walkway
event for seniors on Saturday, Nov.
21 to celebrate New York State's
Quadricentennial and newly-re-
stored Poughkeepsie Railroad
Bridge. The event will take place
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.at the Walkway
Over the Hudson located on Parker
Avenue in Poughkeepsie.
Annie Shannon, 2010 Class Pres-
ident said, "This is a great opportu-
nity for seniors to learn about our
local history, while celebrating our
hard work over the last four years."
Participants will be bused over to
the walkway site from the Marist
Midrise parking lot. After the walk,
all participants are invited to take
part in a celebration in the Student
Center at Marist College. Compli-
mentary gifts will only be handed
out to the first 50 individuals on the
bus.
Senior Class Gift Campaign
On Dec: 3 at 8 p.m. the Senior
Class Gift Committee will be host-
ing a Kick-Off Reception, the first of
worldwide who are currently child
laborers. The project has used its re-
sources to fund and build over 600
schools globally to date.
The other foundation created by
Kielburger is Me to We, also a name
given to his best-selling book and
speech on Nov. 10. Me to We, like
Free the Children, focuses on vol-
unteer trips and fundraising for
children in poverty, helping them
get homes and education. Junior
Michelle Gebele found the speech
"engaging." She said that Kiel-
burger's passion for this project
made her consider going to a devel-
oping country to teach English this
summer.
Once a year, Kielburger and his
colleagues at Me to We organize We
Day, a day for young people to learn
and to start getting active in creat-
ing a better world. Kielburger ex-
plained in his speech that most of
his efforts are directed at the youth
because "as the young generation
we have a huge responsibility ... this
is our calling. This is our chance to
get together and make a change." A
total of 32,000 people attended two
We Day events in Canada, at which
renowned individuals like the Dalai
Lama, Elie Wiesel and Jane Goc."Jdall
advocated the cause of youth help-
ing impoverished youth.
Kielburger's presentation at
Marist focused not only on his own
experiences with helping others, but
also on how today's students can
create their own. He encouraged his
audience to stand up for what they
believe in, help end apathy, have
courage and compassion, and "re-
ally believe that you can create a
better world." Free the Children
and Me to We give students many
opportunities to get started -
whether by creating a chapter, do-
nating money, volunteering their
time, or participating in Awareness
Days where they will
be
silent, bare-
foot, or homeless for one day to raise
knowledge of poverty and other
global issues.
According to Robin Torres, the
Marist director of first year pro-
grams and leadership development,
Kielburger was chosen by the Na-
News Briefs
a series of events in an effort to
raise money for a Class of 2010 gift
to benefit the Marist Fund.
The reception will be held in the
Press Booth/Hospitality Suite over-
looking Leonidoff Field at Tenney
Stadium. The $15 admittance fee
will include your donation to the
Senior Class Gift Campaign, hors
d'oeuvres, and a formal tasting of
four types of wine. After the first
glass of wine, additional glasses will
be available for purchase at $5
apiece during the social hour fol-
lowing the formal tasting.
The kick-off event is a special op-
portunity for seniors (21-years-old
and over) to experience the Hospi-
tality Suite at Tenney Stadium
while learning more about the
Marist Fund and the Senior Class
Gift Campaign.

tional Society of Leadership and
Success as a speaker because of''his
national profile and real ability to
engage students and help them
think about leadership in a different
way." Torres and the Marist Emerg-
ing Leaders Program's Student
Chapter President, Ed Wozencroft
organized the event at Marist. They
hoped Marist students would see
through Kielburger, "how they can
realize their vision, how they can
share collective vision, how they can
work together to affect positive
change both in their own lives ...
and in a much broader way."
Kielburger decided to dedicate his
life to non-profit work at the age of
18. He was inspired by a mentor
who asked him what kind of legacy
he wanted to leave. He encouraged
Marist students and viewers all
over the nation to carefully consider
their own answers to that question.
''You have to decide to lead," he
said, "Don't wait for somebody else
to do it. You can do it."
New Yorkers Divide over Terror Trial Lo-
cation
Eight years after the 9/11 terrorist
attacks, the Obama Administration
has announced that five alleged at- ·
tackers will be tried in federal court
in the shadows of where the World
Trade Towers once stood, New York
City. New Yorkers are speaking out
about the venue for the trial, but
there is a split decision on the mat-
ter.
4~
percent of residents think
it's a good idea to have the trial in
New York City while 41 percent be-
lieve it's a bad one. 14 percent just
aren't sure.
What about the risk of future ter-
rorist attacks? Although 47 percent
say the location of the trial will not
affect the likelihood of another ter-
rorist attack occurring in New York
City, a significant proportion are
concerned the trial will put a bull's
eye on the city. In fact, 40 percent
believe having the trial in New York
City will increase the possibility of
another terrorist attack in the area.
seven percent think it
will be less of
a target, and another six percent
are unsure about the implications of
the trial for the city's security.

Accepting post-graduation predicaments
By
DEANNA GILLEN
Opinion Editor
This past week-
end, attempting
to unwind from
another week in
the life of a fran-
tic college senior,
I plopped down
on the couch
with some pop-
corn
and
watched "Life or
Something Like it."
For those of you who haven't seen
it, the movie is about a
·reporter ,Lannie Kerrigan (Angelina
Jolie), as she makes her way to the
top as an anchor. Kerrigan inter-
views a psychic homeless man for a
fluff piece about a football game's
score, and learns that her life has no
meaning.
If
she does not change the
path her life is going down, she will
die.Thus her rebirth as a better per-
son is sparked.
Now, this may all seem quite triv-
ial. Why would you care about what
movie I saw this past weekend? But
I promise I have a point. After get-
ting my feet wet, I have learned
that people like this do exist - peo-
ple who get so absorbed with their
jobs that they lose track of what is
really important.
We all are anxious and hopeful of
landing the perfect job when we
graduate, be it as a reporter, like
Jolie's character, fixing their make-
up at their desks, and practicing
their ever-so-perfect-non-regional-
dialect, or pounding the pavements
as a sales associate, desperately try-
ing to make their numbers in order
to hold onto that grueling job for one
more day. After hearing the count-
less stories of graduates detailing
their hardships, disappointments
and dead-end jobs that they have
found themselves in once they leave
this campus, I'm beginning to be-
lieve that perhaps our lives do not
begin after college, but on the con-
trary, they end.
The end of shirking responsibili-
ties, the end of all-nighters, the end
of all the ups and downs that were
our four years here at Marist Col-
lege.
If
you are an underclassman,
cherish them, because I promise you
they will disappear before you know
it.
If you are a senior, have hope. Em-
brace the uncertainty of change. Re-
member, we are all in this boat
together. America has gotten
through many crises; it will get
through this one too. We need to be
comfortable with the fact that our
first job, will likely not be our dream
job. Rather,
it
will be at starting
point, a stepping stone along the
way.
I yearn for the days when I would
concern myself with things other
than what the future has in store
for me. This time last year, the only
thing concerned me was how Sarah
Palin got to be all over the media
again like a bad rash. Now? Not
even a passing thought ... well, al-
most anyway.
Like many of us, I have dreams of
landing the perfect job when I grad-
uate. I also know, like many of us
do, that that dream job may never
become a reality. I could apply to
graduate school, but I do not have
perfect grades, and I am sure I will
not get a perfect GRE score. To be
frank, I am perfectly satisfied being
far from anything that resembles
perfection, and would much prefer
living my life for the moment, with
coffee stains on yet another white
shirt, blissfully unaware of the eco-
nomic crisis that we are about to
jump head first into. Then again,
that will never be a reality either.
Sitting around my living room this
past weekend, I cannot help but re-
call what my friend Moira said.
Ever so honestly; she said "Why
would I go to grad school when I
have absolutely no idea what I want
to do with the rest of my life?"
It seems that so many Of us, un-
certain about what might happen to
us after graduation this spring, look
at the prospect of grad school as a
path to go down, to avoid living in
our parents basement for the rest of
our lives. At least, that's what my
logic is for applying.
For many college seniors, indeci-
sion and uncertainty about the fu-
ture typifies every facet of their
lives. With regard to what the fu-
ture has in store for me, I am no ex-
ception. In the course of this
semester, I have toyed with the idea
of taking the GREs, applying to
grad school, taking the LSATs, ap-
plying to law school, applying for
countless jobs and making tons of
connections for various careers,
when honestly, truth be told, I am
more unsure of what I want to do
than when I started here. With the
days on the calendar flying by with
unprecedented speed, I must admit
that when it comes to what I want
for the future, I am completely in
the dark.
Maybe Moira was right. Maybe,
instead of obsessing about the fu-
ture, I should redirect my focus to
what's right here, right now. Make
the most of what's left of our college
careers, our internships, the friend-
ships we have made, and most im-
portantly, make the most of these
next couple of months. Senior year
only happens once. I have the whole
rest of my life to worry about what
I'm doing with it.
Flu shot triggers dystonia in Redskins cheer.leader
By
LISA GLOVER
Staff Writer
Avoid the flu, contract dystonia.
Ok, that may be a slight exaggera-
tion, but it has occurred. Desiree
Jennings, a Washington Redskin
Cheerleader, is now suffering from
a mental condition known as dysto-
nia. Dystonia is "a neurological
muscle disorder that causes uncon-
trollable, painful spasms in one or
more parts of the body."
Ten days after receiving the flu
shot, Jennings came down with the
flu. Her health took a downward
spiral, and she had to be hospital-
ized. Since receiving the flu shot,
Jennings has been misdiagnosed
multiple times which has caused
doctors to believe she is faking the
illness and that it's all a hoax. How-
ever, she has finally been diagnosed
with dystonia, based on her muscle
spasms, speech imped,iments and
difficulty walking. She now has dif-
ficulty performing everyday tasks
and activities. Strangely enough,
her only methods of mobility are
walking backwards or continuing
one of her passions: running. The
case has caused an uproar of dis-
pute. Doctors of Generation Rescue
(an organization dedicatedto pre-
venting and reversing autism claim
that, "a vaccine could never cause
dystonia, the condition dystonia is
listed in the Vaccine Adverse Event
Reporting System as a possible side
effect from vaccines and there are
67 reports of dystonia in the sys-
tem."
Jennings set up a web site to in-
form people on her story. She says
that she wishes to warn people of
the neurological side effects that
can result from vaccinations; espe-
cially knowing that in the majority
of cases, these stories are seldom
heard outside of immediate families
and friends·. "I hope everyone that
reads my story will heed my warn-
ing and think very carefully, includ-
ing seeking out consultations with
your family doctor, before making
the decision to receive a vaccina-
tion," said
Jen_n~11gs (DesireeJe~-
nings.com).
The flu seems like it's taking over
Marist, one student at a time. Vice
President of Student Affairs sent
out an email alerting students and
faculty that, "members of the Marist
Community have been affected by
an increasing number of cases of in-
fluenza-like illness since the begin-
ning of the fall semester. This
parallels what is happening at other
colleges and in communities
throughout the United States." Stu-
dents are strongly encouraged to get
vaccinated shot since the number of
cases are increasing.
I've never received the flu shot,
nor have I come down with the flu
at any point during my life. I believe
that the decision to get the flu shot
should be based on your own per-
sonal past experiences with health.
You know your immune system bet-
ter than anyone else. I'm a strong
believer in leaving a "well enough"
immune system be. I've always had
a really strong immune system and
I rarely become
ill, so it was in my
best interest to avoid the flu shot.
However, one of my friends needed
toged the flu shot because she has
Crohn's disease.If she doesn't, her
health is even more at risk. One
should be aware of all side effects
and risks before engaging in any
type of medical procedure. As Jen-
nings pointed out on her web site,
''True informed consent is a beauti-
ful thing, for it arms you with the
information you need to make an
educated, unbiased decision that's
in your own best interest."

Marist continues preventing
HlNl
virus
By
KELLY GALLUCCI
Staff Writer
According to CNN.com, 49 percent
of Americans are not confident in
the U.S. government's ability to
prevent an HlNl epidemic.
Barbara Levesque, a junior, ar-
rived at Health Services' first HlNl
clinic 30 minutes early and was
given number 136 in line.
''There is a serious shortage of
vaccines, I feel fortunate that I got
mine," Levesque said. "HlNl seems
to have a greater impact on young
people ... This [is a] vinis that is clos-
ing down schools all across the U.S.
It's established itself as a serious
threat now."
Leigh Fleming, a sophomore, is
just as concerned and plans on
steering clear of McCann for a few
weeks.
"Not everyone wipes down their
equipment after they're done work-
ing out," Fleming said. "I always
wipe it down before and after, but
still the atmosphere is the perfect
breeding ground for germs. I've
known a few people who spend a lot
of time in McCann and are all sick."
James Napoli, president of the
class of 2012 and head of the
Health Committee, had not heard
any of the rumors before.
"It makes sense," he said. "It's a
catch 22. Working out keeps you
healthy, but you're going to risk
ex-
posing yourself to sickness there,
not just the flu, but the common
cold, too." Napoli encourages all
students to go to Health Services to
receive the shots.
Christi Sheehan, a sophomore, is
onesuch student who supports the
flu shot.
"I think it's important to protect
yourself against unnecessary dis-
ease," Sheehan said. ''The shots are
in high demand and I was im-
pressed that Marist was able to get
so many of them."
However, not every student has
received the shot. SGA and Health
Services are teaming up to keep the
student body as informed as possi-
ble. MAR-STU e-mails are being
sent out to keep all on campus in-
formed of changes such as Health
Services longer hours and new ship-
ments of vaccines.
Napoli and SGA have worked on
the colorful posters seen around
campus advertising the flu symp-
toms and what
tO
do if students
think that they have the flu. Napoli
also spoke of flu kits that Heath
Services plan on passing out to stu-
dents with the flu who are unable
to go home.
"They'll have Gatorade, saltines, a
thermometer, tissues," Napoli said.
DYSON 127 • 888.877.7900
WWW.MARIStEDU/GRADUAT~
ZAlDYLMG/FLICKR.COM
Health services has been hosting several flu clinics
to
offer vaccinations for
bOth
the
seasonal and H1N1 flus
to
avoid an outbreak.
"SGA will help pass them out.
We're working together to spread as
much awareness as we can. I think
Marist, as a whole, is doing every-
thing in it's power. There's only so
much an institution can do though,
it really is up to each individual
student."
The number of flu and H lNl
cases on campus is unknown,
though the latest MAR-STU e-mail
assures students that Marist cases
have been relatively mild and that
all infected have made full recover-
ies. Marist College has never been
shut down due to illness and most
seem confident that it will not be
closed down.
"I think that Marist is doing all
they can to make sure the students
stay healthy this holiday season,"
Levesque said. "I just have to pray
that the person who used the li-
brary
comput~r
before me remem-
bered to wash their hands!"
As
of Nov. 23, Health Services will
now be open from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00
p.m. from Monday to Friday and
from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Satur-
day and Sunday.

A look into the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
By DANIELLE DELCORE
Circle Contributor
I always heard about the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, but it
was never a part of my family tra-
dition. What I didn't know was
that the night before Thanksgiv-
ing the parade crew inflates the
balloons, which is an event in it-
. self. All of the balloons are lined
up in the streets for a four block
radius, police shut down those
streets, and you can stroll along
the sidewalk watching the bal-
loons coming to.life.
The sidewalks are crowded with
people of all ages, some embracing
their first trip, while most are re-
turning families. Everyone is smil-
ing, laughing, and pointing in
every direction, trying to take in
everything the environment is pro-
viding.
As you cross the street and start
to take in the balloons one by one,
all of the families and friends are
huddled close together, trying to
get to the first balloon as fast as
possible. Heads are turning left to
right, right to left, searching to see
their favorites from last year and
eager to see the new additions.
Eventually the crowd starts to
thin out as you walk around the
Museum of Natural History, but if
you do miss one balloon at the
start you can continue walking
around until you have seen every-
thing you could possibly want to
see.
This year, the event will take
place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and I
can guarantee a crowd, but it's to-
tally worth it! You can't help but
smile when you see Papa Smurf,
Ronald McDonald and Garfield
among all of the classics.
I enjoy eagerly waiting to see the
first balloon, and taking an exces-
sive number of pictures with each
one before running to the next. In
2007 alone, there were 11 march-
ing bands, 24 floats, 11 giant char-
acters, and 31 novelty or ornament
balloons. The parade spans 43 city
blocks and required 400,000 cubic
feet of helium!
Of course I would never send our
readers on an adventure without
an outlet for great food! There is
the classic 'Shake Shack' nearby,
that offers great burgers, fries,
and my favorite, milkshakes. The

Im prov group HuMarists have 'big b.alls', 'small sense of humility'
BY CHRSTINA O'SULLIVAN
Staff Writer
On Nov. 11 in the PAR, the Hu-
Marists began their improv show
with a warning: If you are easily of-
fended, you should probably leave.
They didn't intend on being
raunchy. But as they perform im-
provisational comedy, where every-
thing is made up on the spot,
anything can and will happen. The
audience suggested word "Seabis-
cuit" resulted in scenes involving a
zookeeper training a germophobic
employee to scoop up monkey poop,
a suicidal druggie mother hitting up
bars with her daughter, and an
artist painting a portrait with his ...
well, not with his hands.
The seven hilarious, observant,
creative, ballsy HuMarists comprise
Marist' s craziest aficio11ados of com-
edy and masters of bloviation. The
group was founded in 1991 and gen-
erally performs one Big Show per
semester. This semesters' will be
held Dec 10. In addition to improv,
they also write and perform
sketches and create videos, which
can be seen on the YouTube channel
"thehumarists."
In improvisational theatre, per-
formers ask the audience sugges-
tions to get them involved and also
to show that they really are making
up scenes on the spot.
While training, improvisers often
use a technique called "yes, and,"
where they accept whatever idea a
partner throws out, such as a rela-
tionship, setting, or task, and then
build on it to advance the scene.
They quickly create characters of
From Opinion
different sex, age, and nationalities,
and mime actions until an issue has
been resolved.
The HuMarists cite comedians
like Sarah Silverman and Jim
Carey as well as improv groups like
the Upright Citizens Brigade (co-
founded by Amy Poehler) as their
influences.
They said they can learn tricks by
observing experienced improvisers,
but they can't really learn how to be
better comedians by watching
stand-up. They said many actors,
like Andy Samberg, started out
doing improv, and they believe that
improv is smarter.
When asked what she likes about
being in the HuMarists, junior
Gabby Albino immediately joked,
"the sex."
All kidding aside, the eclectic
group said they mostly love the
unique friendships they have made.
They said they are like the campus
a capella groups, Time Check and
Sirens, in that they are a random
assortment of people with a com-
mon love, but instead of music, they
have comedy.
Each semester, up to 30 people try
out for a spot in the group. Aspir-
ing HuMarists are advised to not
enter with any expectations, not to
get discouraged, listen to their sur-
roundings, and be themselves.
They stress to not try to be funny.
Sophomore Ben Drumm said that
a good HuMarist should also have
''big balls and a small sense of hu-
mility," in that you must be willing
to make a fool of yourself for enter-
tainment value.
Improv skills are not only handy

in creating a hilariously entertain-
ing show for hundreds of Marist stu-
dents; they also help in public
speaking, schmoozing, and in case
of a confrontation, senior Danielle
Lovece said her improved wit is
"good for verbally taking someone
out with a knee." Constantly think-
ing on their feet has trained their
brains for quick, clever thinking at
all times.
The recent show in the PAR also
included a game called "Props,"
fa-
miliar to those who watch ''Whose
Line is it Anyway," in which a ran-
dom object is presented and used in
as many different ways as possible
to create a new scene. In this case,
a mop became a mustache, strip
pole, helicopter, horse, ski, and
many more.
They concluded with a game called
"Reverend," in which junior Johnny
Harkins stepped out of the room
while the other HuMarists asked
the audience to come up with a ran-
dom, detailed death. When it was
established that Kanye West was
murdered by Dr. Dre's piranhas in
South Park, Colo., Harkins re-
turned to the room and played the
part of a Reverend at a funeral in a
gospel church.
When he was on the right track,
for example: ''We ah gathahed
today-ah to maw-uhn the death of
a ... may-uhn?" the audience would
cheer and the HuMarists would nod
in agreement. After about 10 min-
utes, with a little guidance from the
other HuMarists, he successfully
figured out the entire story.
In the upcoming Big Show, they
will play more improv games, per-
form skits, and show videos.
The HuMarists advise people to
come because it is good entertain-
ment; will help you relieve stress
during finals week, and it's some-
thing you don't see every day.
The show will be held on Thurs-
day, Dec. 10 at 9:30 p.m. in the
Nelly Goletti. Tickets are $2.
Don't hate the game, hate the Bowl Championship Series
BY DANIEL PEARLES
Staff Writer
So much for the Bowl Champi-
onship Series. It's done. Finished.
It was never a good system, but up
until now it always had one argu-
ment supporting it, however weak it
may have been: it makes every
game count.
Not anymore, however. The BCS
National Championship is almost
two months away and we already
know who's going to be playing foot-
ball on Jan. 7 in Pasadena. It's
going to be Texas versus the winner
of the SEC Championship game be-
tween Florida and Alabama, and
that scenario isn't going to change
between now and January.
So much for the suspense, so
much for the remainder of schedule
meaning anything.
One could argue that the BCS is
fulfilling its' promise of making
every game count.
If Alabama, Florida or Texas were
to lose anything of their remaining
games, they would be out of the na-
tional championship picture, theo-
retically, but the BCS works fine in
theory, not in reality.
Anyone who looks at the remain-
ing schedules of these teams knows
that there's no chance any of them
will lose before Alabama and
Florida go up against each other on
Dec. 5. Florida has Florida Inter-
national and Florida State coming
to Gainesville to close out the sea-
son.
Texas gets Kansas at home and
travels to Texas A&M before taking
on the Big 12 North representative
in the Big 12 Championship.
As
for
Alal>ama, it will face the likes of
Chattanooga and Auburn.
As you can see, there are no loses
on any of those schedules, only wins
that lead to the inevitable: Texas
versus the SEC champion, book it
now.
There is an old adage, don't hate
the player, hate the game. Don't
blame Texas, it got ripped off last
year by the same sy13tem that is put-
ting it in the national championship
this year.
Don't blame Florida or Alabama,
they are simply dominating the
toughest conference in the entire
country. Blame the BCS.
The BCS is the one who put these
teams in the position that a bid in
the championship game is theirs to
lose.
The BCS is the one who basically
guaranteed Texas a spot in the na-
tional championship after it beat
Oklahoma in mid-October.
Could this problem have been
solved
if
college football had imple-
mented a playoff system? Ab-
solutely.
A playoff system would have
meant that Texas would have to do
more than beat a deflated Okla-
homa team and a Dez Bryant-less
Oklahoma State squad.
A playoff system would have given
TCU and Cincinnati a chance
to
prove that they are among the best
teams in the country. But a playoff
system isn't happening any time
soon.
College football would rather
schedule dozens of meaningless
bowl games so that we can see
mediocre teams from mediocre con-
ferences play each other to see
which team goes home with a tro-
phy. Think anybody cares who
plays in the Meineke Car Care
Bowl? I sure don't.
For the record, I do think that
Texas and the SEC champion are
the two best teams in the country,
but that is not what this is about.
It's about giving teams the opportu-
nity to prove themselves on the
field, not on computer rankings.
I don't think that Cincinnati could
beat Texas and I don't think that
TCU could beat Florida, but why
not let that be decided on the field?
Why is college football the only
sport where teams are punished for
not being ranked highly to start the
season?
Wouldn't it be better to make the
Orange Bowl, for example, to be
stepping stone to the title game
than to have two teams playing
there when they still wish they were
playing for a national title?
There is no doubt that college foot-
ball would be more suspenseful
right now
if
it was not waiting for a
huge upset to change the national
championship picture. We all know
that won't happen though.
We know which teams still have a
chance at a national championship
and which teams are hopelessly try-
ing to make their case, and it's all
the system's fault.

Television versus the Internet
By
KATIE MEENA
Circle Contributor
As college students, we are all so
busy with classes, homework, prac-
tice, group projects, rehearsals and
writing papers that we do not have
time to be watching television. Why
should we drop everything we are
doing at 9 p.m. on a Thursday night
so that we can tune in to watch
"Grey's Anatomy," "CSf' or "The Of-
fice"? Would it not Qe easier to
watch our favorite shows when we
have the available time to do so?
Well, the Internet has given us the
option to do so.
According to the Consumer Inter-
net Barometer, as of September
2009, nearly one out of four house-
holds in the United States watches
television online, which is up 20
percent from 2008. The research
also found that almost 80 percent of
people turn to the Internet for en-
tertainment purposes. The Con-
sumer
Internet
Barometer's
research concluded that people are
moving away from "appointment"
TV because they prefer to watch
programs whenever they choose; it
allows viewers to watch their fa-
vorite shows at any time - personal
convenience.
In relation to college students, 100
Marist students were surveyed on
their television show viewing pref-
erences. Out of the 100 students
surveyed, 43 students said they
watched their favorite television
shows only on television, while 29
students said they only watched on
the Internet. Twenty-eight stu-
dents said they watched television
shows on both the television and the
Internet.
''The younger generation sees a
computer as a device for leisure and
social interaction," said Jeff Bass,
Professional Lecturer of Media Arts.
"They feel more comfortable sitting
in front of the computer at all
times."
The most common reason found
for watching online was missing an
episode when it originally aired; the
students use the Internet to catch
up on missed episodes.
"I always try to watch it on televi-
si6n," said junior Amanda DeJour-
dan, ''but if I miss a show I will
watch it on the network's Web site."
Junior Andy Clinkman added,
"If
I
hold off for a few weeks, I can watch
episodes in order without waiting
for a week between episodes."
The second most popular reason
for watching online was conven-
ience. Sophomore Michelle Harrop
said, "The shows I watch are on at
inconvenient times, so I just watch
them online when it's easiest for
me." Freshman Samantha Halli-

and •Family Guy- are available for

way added that she doesn't let her
life revolve around her TV schedule.
Another motive for turning to the
Internet included the avoidance of
commercials. "I'm not going to plan
my life around an electronic box,"
said junior Katie Warren. "Plus,
commercials make me feel like my
brain is melting." Other common
reasons for .watching TV online in-
cluded portability and not owning a
TV in a dorm room.
One interesting reason for watch-
ing online was the unavailability of
specific TV channels, such as HBO
or Bravo. A handful of students sur-
veyed mentioned that they used the
Internet to watch shows such as
HBO's "Entourage" or Bravo's "Pro-
ject Runway'' - both of which cannot
be seen through Marist College's
cable programming package.
However, it is not only college stu-
dents who turn to the Internet to
watch their favorite television
shows. Many adults are using the
Internet to catch up on missed
episodes, as well.
"If
I read about some incident,
such as Larry David urinating on a
picture of Jesus in an episode of
'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' I will try
to catch it or at least (catch) the
scene on the Internet," said Dr. Sue
Lawrence, Assistant Professor of
the Media Arts department. "I
think if you have a large enough
computer screen, its fine,'' she
added.
So, where on the Internet are these
students finding free television pro-
gramming? The most popular sites are
Hulu.com, Youtube.com, Surfthechan-
nel.com, and the networks' Web sites.
Other Web sites mentioned
in
the sur-
vey irrludOO 'IVsh!d:.net;
Sideree1.rom, Nin--
javidro.net,
and
Greatstufltv.oom
The Consumer Internet Barome-
ter found that "two-thirds of all on-
line TV viewers access their favorite
programs through streaming video,
while
41
percent utilize free down-
load." In addition, it stated that
more than two-thirds of online TV
viewers watch television programs
through the official TV channel's
homepage. In second and third
place were YouTube and-Hulu.

An
unexpected venture 'Into the Woods'
By
JENNIFER HILL
Staff Writer
Once upon a time ... Marist College
presented "Into the Woods," a story
combining and twisting classic
fairytales to create an original and
unexpected story. After standing in
line for a ticket and entering the
crowded theater, I anticipated the
start of the play that I had heard so
much about. After an enthusiastic
opening number, I was impressed
with the energy of the actors and
most of the costume design, espe-
cially the witch's wrinkled face and
long nose.
The start of the play was very well
done and drew the audience in to
what seemed like a standard fairy-
tale. By the end of Act I, Cinderella
had married the prince, the baker
and his wife were pregnant, Little
Red Riding Hood had survived the
wolf and Jack had grown his magi-
cal bean stalk. Along the way, a
slightly awkward but very enter-
taining dance was performed by the
wolf and Little Red Riding Hood,
and the song performed by the two
princes was witty and engaging.
The actors did not miss a beat; each
seemed to remember every line and
every word to the songs. Quick
jokes were made, keeping the audi-
ence's attention. By the middle of
the act, I felt an attachment to each
one of the performers, and was root-
ing for all of them to get their
wishes.
Although I was impressed with
the first act, the second act was
slightly slower paced. I missed
some of the lines and was confused
at some points because the sound
continually cut out. When Rapunzel
entere.d the stage with infant twins,
I was unaware of how she suddenly
came to be a mother. Also, at one
point, the mic of the giant was left
on, and the audience was able to
hear people backstage. The orches-
tra played excellently, but at some
points the instruments drowned out
important lines.
Despite the technical difficulties,
the performers did not break char-
acter. The second act involved the
unraveling of all the perfect end-
ings that had occurred in the first.
As problems arose, the audience
could see the hard work of the per-
formers culminate. The characters
connected with each other, and
their body language showed how
they were able to play off of one an-
other. The hours spent at rehearsals
were definitely worthwhile.

the lackluster left-

These mediocre songs were never

(Dirty Projectors Cover) - First
Solange exposed Beyonce and Jay-Z
to the indie greatness of Grizzly
Bear by bringing them to show in
the summer. Now, Beyonce's sister
has released a cover of the number
one ranked song, according to
"NYMag", that defines the Brooklyn
sound. "Stillness" by the Dirty Pro-

cover actually gels perfectly. Not to

more well-deserved popularity.
After all, they do define Brooklyn

Mixing Hawaiian spirit and school spirit
By
KARA GIFFORD
Circle Contributor
It's winter! Well not really - everyone
tells me it is only fall, but for me, it feels
like winter. Why you ask?
f m from that
little rock in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean you
all
know
as Hawaii. I know
what you
are
thinking
(I
have been
asked it only a million times): ''Why the
hell would you come to Poughkeepsie?"
Well, though I choose to
be
mysterious
and won't reveal my answer, but I
will
tell you a little about the Hawaiian style
and help you
all bring a little "aloha
spirt'' to our campus.
So
sit your
okok
down and listen up.
Though it might just
be
my fragile
summer skin, I have a feeling that this
winter is going to
be
freezing -you know
how we
are
going to get through it? No
not with layers and layers, but with
tropical island thoughts.
If
you want to
be
warm this winter you have to talk
like you're from the
aina (island).
First
thing
is first: the word '11.ip-flop"
does not
exist
in Hawaii; rather, they
are
called "slippers."
If
you say that word in
Hawaii you stick out like a sore thumb.
Rule#2: in Hawaiian
slang
you can put
"try'' in front of every question or ''yeah"
after the question. For example:
'<try
pass me that?'' or 'You
are
in my
class,
yeah?'' I could spend this whole time
writing
about Hawaiian
slang
so I'll
just
give you some more major words and
end it on that:
shoots - okay,
grindz -
food,
ono
-good,
howzit-
how is it,
cruise-
chill, and of course
breh -bro or dude.
Now that you know how to
talk
like
you're from Hawaii, you need to feel like
you're from Hawaii- and act like it! The
best
way to feel like you're on the island
and get into that mental state is music of
course.
Once you listen to some irie
reg-
gae or jawaiian music, you won't even

The most popular bands
are
Natural

Ooklan the moc,
B.E.T, Fiji, and Slightly Stoopid.
If
you
listen to one song from any of these
bands and close your eyes, you can't help
but to feel like you're on a beach. These
bands
will definitely help you get into
the Hawaiian feeling of just cruising,
taking it easy, and spreading some
aloha
here and there.
So
now that you listen to local music,
talk local and feel local,
all you need to
know is how to eat local

Audiophiles, listen up:

It takes a certain kind of charac-
ter to play rugby: it's a game of or-
ganized chaos, something like a
glorified kicking and screaming
pigpile. But underneath the appar-
ent insanity, you'll find a true team
sport made of grit, guts and
heart ... and, naturally, a little bit of
crazy.
Get down and dirty
As they say, God made dirt and
dirt won't hurt.
Disregard all concepts of per-
sonal space
The pack players are one big
happy family. Between getting all
cozy in the scrum and supporting
the rucks, you always tend to end
up in awkward hugs and friendly
spooning. Be prepared to have peo-
ples' hands (and other body parts)
all over you.
Embrace the bumps, bruises
and battle scars
It's all par for the course, of
course. Post-game Monday morn-
ings become a sadistic game of, "I'll
show you mine if you show me
yours," - attempting to one-up
each other as you hobble across the
campus green.
Sweat one weekend, freeze the
next.
Whether the sun is a-shinin' or
the rain is falling, there is always a
rugby game to be playing. Your
field may resemble a pig wallow
one day and be as hard as asphalt
the next. Your season will start in
the scorching sun and will proba-
bly end in the snow.
Get cozy with St. Francis
Though it may alarm you the day
that you come to the realization
that you're a St. Francis regular
(for non-Hatter's related reasons,
at that), it often provides a good
answer to, "oh, how was your
weekend?" Casts, braces, and
stitches aside, we usually chalk it
up to nothing_ more than, "just a
bruise."
Learn the language of bruising
It's something like cracking a
code of deciphering hieroglyphics -
but soon enough you'll be able to
tell the difference between a cleat,
an elbow, or if you're lucky enough,
bite marks. And you'll do so with
pride.
Walk the walk and talk the talk
With a new activity comes a new
lingo. Some key rugger terms to
identify and love:
Scrum, ruck, maul, jackle, hooker,
and
groutfit.

Get the best headphone quality
By
TIM FAUSTINI
Circle Contributor
Headphones are making a come-
back. You can find them all over now;
from Urban Outfitters to our campus
bookstore. But be warned, if you're
actually looking for some quality
audio, those Skull Candies are not
goi:ng to cut it. I have tried a variety of
these headphones and always been
left completely underwhelmed, espe-
cially considering their prices.
Recently, I have been lucky enough
to acquire a review copy of SR-60i
headphones courtesy of Grado Labs.
These are unlike any headphones you
may be accustomed to, provided that
you meet a certain condition. Make
sure you have decent quality audio
files. [Simply put, if you're going to pi-
rate music, den't use Limewire]. Even
if you're not exactly an audiophile,
these headphones do an amazing job
at making the most of your standard
mp3s from iTunes or Amazon.
There is alot to like about these
headphones. The bass has a very rich
sound that doesn't distort at a high
volume, while the treble is crystal
clear.
It
also has a kick that should
satisfy any hip-hop listener.
If you
have been stuck listening to your
generic white ear buds, the Skull-
candy headphones you found in our
bookstore, or your laptop's tiny speak-
ers, these headphon:s will make your
music seem brand new. This is true
for most quality headphones, but the
SR-60is are the only ones you can find
that deliver such a sound for less than
$100. (They retail anywhere between
$60 and $80).
However, there are several short-
comings to these headphones. First is
the design. While very simplistic and
functional, they're not exactly a fash-
iqn accessory. Considering the notice-
able resurgence of headphone use,
that might change. Another reason
one might avoid wearing them in
public is sound leaking. Due to their
open-air design, the sound of what-
ever you're listening to
will probably
be overheard by anyone nearby, espe-
cially at higher volumes. Also, I have
discovered after extended listening
(Specifically, two different albums by
"Phoenix" that ran for about an hour
and 15 minutes) there is some strain
oFl your ears.
If you limit your listen-
ing to reasonable lengths of time with
adequate breaks, this is avoidable.
Despite the slight shortcomings the
SR-60is have, they deliver amazing
sound at an unbeatable price.
If
you
consider yourself an audiophile or a
music enthusiast and, like me, are on
a considerable budget. Do .yourself a
favor and get a pair of these, you
won't need another set of headphones
for awhile ( 4-7 years, longer if taken
care of) and your ears
will thank you.

Young Foxes show early potential
ByJIM URSO
Staff Writer
A late game surge by Marist was-
n't enough to overcome a sluggish
start to the
second half,
givmg
the
Red Foxes a 7 4-67 loss to Big East
opponent Rutgers on Saturday.
Overall, the performance was an
encouraging first game effort for
Marist. Considering the caliber of
its Big East Conference
op~nent
and its short handedness. to start
the season, Marist was able to dis-
play the talent it has on its roster.
Although its offense looked out
of sync at times, freshmen Rob
Johnson, Sam Prescott, and Can-
don Rusin all showcased their po-
tential.
Marist came out hot, hitting six
of their first nine shot attempts. A
triple from Korey Bauer gave
Marist a 12-9 lead just 3:05 into the
game. On the following Marist pos-
session, Daye Kaba converted a
three-point play to give the Red
Foxes a 15-9 advantage, their
largest lead of the afternoon.
Rutgers was able to retake the
lead permanently at 9:4 7 mark of
the first half on a Mike Rosario
three pointer, which made the
score 23-22. Rosario led the Scarlet
Knights with 17 pointR and four as-
sists. Marist kept it close though,
leaving the floor at halftime down
41-35.
The Scarlet Knights began the
second half with a 9-2 run, opening
up a 13 point lead. Rutgers grew
the lead to as large as 16 points
with 10:15 remaining in the game.
"We fell asleep in transition de-
fense," Marist coach Chuck Martin
said. "And typical of young team,
you get down double digits and 'oh
man,' panic sets in."
Marist inched its way back, cut-
ting the lead to as little as seven

with 2:30 to go. The Red Foxes
went on a 7
~O
run over 1:02 span,
behind a basket from Johnson and
two Rusin baskets. After the run,
Marist trailed 70-63.
Dejuan Goodwin and Johnson
each missed three pointers at 1:51
and 1:19 respectively that would've
cut the lead to four.
Four Red Foxes scored in double
digits, with Johnson leading all
scorers with 18 points on 6-for-11
shooting.
"Our strength is going to be our
balance," Martin said.
Kaba added 11 points and 10 re-
bounds. At times in the contest,
Kaba, who is listed at 6'3", was
playing center while Bauer was
getting a breather. Bauer played
well, scoring 11 points and grab-
bing eight rebounds.
If
he continues to play well, he
provides more options for Marist
once Casiem Drummond enters the
lineup. However, Martin doesn't
see each of them starting to create
a larger frontcourt. Getting bigger
usually means getting slower, and
the Red Foxes' quickness is their
strength and imperative for the
dribble-drive offense.
Prescott added 10 points, show-
ing his ability to get to the rim.
Rusin added nine points and looks
to develop as one of the team's pre-
mier outside shooters. Marist shot
considerably well, hitting 44 per-
cent of their shots.
"I was really pleased with the ef-
fort of my freshman," said Coach
Chuck Martin. "I think our future
is really bright."
Six road games for such a young
team is difficult way to start the
season. However, because of the
stretch, Red Fox fans 'may see a
tougher team when they host their
first home game on Dec. 12 against

seasons that we got to seven wins, it
happened on the last game. This one
means a whole bunch."
Dayton, who is playing with an op-
portunity to capture a piece of the
PFL championship, comes into this
game with a 6-1 league record, while
the Red Foxes have posted a 5-2 effort
against conference opponents.
''They are a veteran group over
there on defense [at Dayton]," Parady
said. ''Their quarterback is very. sim-
ilar to Chris [Debowski] in the prob-
lems that he creates. He can throw
the ball down the field, and he can
also get out of the pocket and hurt
you with his legs."
Quarterback Steve Valentino led
the Flyers to their eighth straight win
recently against Drake. This season,
he is first in the PFL in total offense
per game, fourth in rushing, and sec-
ond in touchdowns scored.
"[We have to] try and keep him con-

plays he has against us," Rumsey
said. ''We're going to
try
and get him

order to dictate the tone of the game
and the pace of the game."
Even though Marist cannot finish
first in the PFL, or even win a piece of
the championship title, there is the
possibility that Marist can finish any-
where between second and fifth place
in the conference after next week's
game.
''It's exciting to play in a season fi-
nale with a lot on the line," Parady
said.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y.
The
Marist volleyball team spent the
weekend on the
road~
as they closed
out the regular season by qualifying
for the MAAC Tournament for the
first time in school history after
matches with Fairfield and Rider.
"For us this is everything," coach
Tom Hanna said. ''This is some-
thing that has never happened in
the history of our program... You
can't take the next step and con-
tinue to sell a theory of who we as-
pire to be unless you eventually
become that team and program at
some point. Now we've become that.
Now we can confidently say we are
a top four program in the MAAC."
The Red Foxes traveled to Con-
necticut Saturday afternoon to bat-
tle Fairfield, who entered the
contest with an outstanding 14-2
conference record. The initial set
saw numerous lead changes before
junior Lindsey Schmid gave Marist
a 21-19 lead with an ace. Schmid's
ace was the 160th of her career, giv-
ing her the most in Marist history.
"Her serve is something that is a
match changer," Hanna said. "Her
ability is huge [for us] not only on
the scoreboard, but emotionally as
well. When she racks up a couple
aces against you, that's something
that can be.emotionally draining on
our opponents."
Marist would eventually drop the

of the day this is results-oriented
and we got a positive result. The
biggest thing is we needed a win

most important part of the equa-
tion."
What follows for Marist (1 7-12,
11-7 MAAC) is a rematch of Satur-
day's contest against Fairfield. The
Stags finished as regular season
champions, and will enter the tour-
nament as the No. 1 seed. Hanna

they've done well so far against
their conference rival.

Who will emerge as a leader and
standout scorer? This is the biggest
question surrounding a Marist
men's basketball squad that re-
turned only six players for the
2009-2010 season.
On Saturday at Rutgers, fresh-
man forward Rob Johnson made his
case to be one of these players.
Johnson looked like an All-MAAC
rookie, scoring 18 points on 6-for-11
shooting, including 2-for-4 from be-
hind the three point line. Johnson
also snatched six rebounds.
"It felt good, not because I led the
team in scoring, but because I felt
like I contributed," Johnson said. "I
wish we could've got the win."

that Martin must sort out and
mend together effectively. It looks
as though Johnson will definitely be
part of this equation.
"His size and skill level are really
unbelievable," coach Chuck Martin
said. "I can't believe we got him be-
cause I think he could play at a
higher level."
As far as taking a more pivotal
role on the team, Johnson's up to it.
''It's a lot of pressure, but I'm up
to
the task," Johnson said. "It feels
good that coach sees me as someone
who can handle that pressure."
Chemistry is another question
surrounding a team with so many
new pieces. Martin's decision to
have players take class together
over the summer certainly helped
Johnson.
''We got here in the summer, and
I think that really helped a lot,"
Johnson said. "By [the] time we got
to school, we were all acclimated to
each other."
Johnson grew up in Atlanta, Ga.,
but now resides in the Bronx, N.Y.
He attended Centennial High
School, where he played four years

Red Foxes run Wildcats into ground
By
PHILIP TERRIGNO
Sports Editor
After examining the box score from
the Marist College football team's
most recent victory, its contents
football
could have easily told
a tale of two Wildcats.
One would be about the Davidson
Wildcats, a Pioneer Football League
opponent that the Red Foxes de-
feated 14-6 on Nov. 14 for their
sixth consecutive
win.
The second would involve the
Wildcat formation offense, a hybrid
offensive system that usually re-
sults in a direct snap to the running
back. Once the halfback has the
ball, he is presented with a multi-
tude of options, including a handoff
or screen pass to the quarterback,
the use of which could easily have
allowed quarterback Chris De-
bowski to rush for 153 yards, which
he did in the victory against David-
son.
"It kind of looked like that, [but]
we definitely didn't do anything like
the [wildcat offense]," coach Jim
Parady joked after being asked if
his team actually employed the non-
traditional attack in the
win.
''Most
of Chris' [Debowski] runs were ac-
tually called pass plays."

''When the [offensive] line gets
that great push, we have an advan-
tage over the other team to move
the ball down the field," senior run-
ning back Khori Whitter said.
Both of Marist's touchdowns came
on short rushes from Dinnebeil. The
first came in the second quarter to
give Marist a 7-3 lead, and the sec-
ond came with just over eight min-
utes remaining in the contest. His
second score capped a lengthy 15-
play, 93-yard drive.
To this point, Dinnebeil has tal-
lied nine touchdowns on the season
and has shown a penchant for scor-
ing on the goal line, but Parady
maintains that he is still comfort-
able with any of his rushers taking
snaps in the red zone.
"It's really just turned into what
[teams] are giving us defensively,"
Parady said. "If [a defense] is going
to overload a side and take it away,
I can't say we're going to [Dinnebeil]

how the defense is lined up."
Although the Red Foxes ran ram-

Debowski was intercepted three
times, and completed just seven of
eighteen passing attempts for 94
yards.
The only highlight from the pass-
ing game came· on James LaMac-
chia's first reception of the contest
late in the second half. The senior
wide receiver broke Guy Smith's
record for catches in a single season.
''In this game, as well as the last
few games, the [opposing defense]
has gone to double teams on him
[LaMacchia]," Parady said. "He's
gone ahead and made his adjust-
ments. Anytime you have 58 recep-
tions, you have to work at it and
he's done that.
On just their second possession of
the game, the Wildcats were in
po-
sition to score after a Debowski in-
terception gave them the ball at
their own 34-yard line. Davidson
drove all the way down to the
Marist 25-yard line, but the Red
Foxes kept them out of the red zone,
and kicker Ben Behrendt connected
on a 37-yard field goal to give the
