New dean appointed to
School of Communication and the Arts
Steven Ralston of Northern Illinois U. to take over in July-
By MARGEAUX LIPPMAN
Editor-in-Chief
Next semester, a new Red
Fox will be leading the pack
at
Marist's
School
of
Communication and the Arts.
Dr. Steven M. R
_
alston,
Chair of the Department of
Communication at Northern
Illinois {.Jniversity, will take
over as Dean of the School of
Communication and the Arts
according to a press release
from Thomas Wermuth, Vice
President
for
Academic
Affairs and Dean of Faculty.
Ralston, who holds a Ph.D
in communication theory
from Indiana University, will
be taking over for interim
Dean Subir Sengupta on July
1.
He will be the School's
first permanent dean since
the departure of founding
De
.
an Guy Lometti in 2005.
Long search finds good fit
The search for a permanent
dean was conducted by the
College over the past four
years and the process includ-
ed a committee comprised of
communication faculty
mem-
bers, as well as other college
administrators.
Mary Alexander, Associate
Professor of Communication
and member of the search
committee,
said
that
Ralston's
qualifications
made him a prime choice for
the College.
"Dr.
Ralston
had strong
record of leadership experi-
ence that made him an
excellent candidate for the
position," Alexander said. In
addition, his knowledge of
organizational communica-
tion suggested he would eas-
ily master the administrative
structure of Marist:~
Several
areas,
common
goals
With Marist's communica-
tion program running the
gamut from fashion to game
design, Alexander noted that
Ralston's
appointment
allowed for all disciplines to
be equally represented at an
administrative level.
"Students preparing for
careers
in
Fashion may have
needs that are
different
from
students
preparing
for gradu-
ate programs in Media Arts,"
Alexander said. "Finding a
candidate with the
potential
to understand the needs of
students
and
faculty from all
of these perspectives was a
challenge. Dr.
Ralston
has a
rich
background
in
Communication and experi-
ence working in a
.
program
that included Art. This com-
bination made him the best
fit for our school."
Gary Burns, Assistant
Chair of the Department of
Communication at Northern
Illinois, said that Ralston
supported a large variety of
concentrations and clubs dur-
ing
his tenure there
.
'♦Steve
has shown strong
support for broadcast jour-
nalism, new media, the cam-
pus newspaper, our
docu~
mentary film festival, the
forensics program, our grad-
uate
program,
and our fout

.
"I'm sure there will be some
culture shock, but Steve is
perceptive and adaptable and
will draw upon his many
years of experience to inform
his administrative style at
Marist,"
Bums
said.
Bill Cassidy
,
Assistant
Professor of Journalism at
N orthem Illinois, said that
Ralston's move to Marist
would likely not be too much
of a jump since both colleges
have a similar number of fac-
ulty in their respective
schools of communication.
"We have 28 faculty and a
bunch
of
instructors,"
Cassidy said. "In terms of
logistics and dealing with
numbers of people, he's
probably
used
to that."
Outlook optimistic
Alexander
said
that
Ralston's appointment would
.
bring a new perspective
to
the table that could help
:
Marist's programs continue
to flourish.
"It
will be great to have
conversations about our cur-
riculum that are informed by
knowledge of several other
programs," Alexander said.
"In short, he bri,ngs a fresh
pair of eyes to help us con-
sider the best ways to help
our programs evolve."
Although no information is
available about Ralston's
plans for Marist's programs,
he is
looking
forward to
becotning dean, according to
Burns.
"[H]e hasn't spoken with
me about his vision for
the
programs at Marist, but I
know he is enthusiastic and
excited about the new posi-
tion," Burns said.

4/24 - Library
See, this is why I don't go
to the library. Not because
of an innate fear of actually
accomplishing anything or
the fact that library stacks
seriously freak me out, but
to avoid a potential crime
scene. Yes, crime went
down at the library. Usually,
the only thing that goes
down at the library is my
self-esteem attempting to
find a book, but you know,
there's a first time for
everything. One student
reported leaving her desig-
nated study area, before
returning
to
find
her
Statistics book mysteriously
missing. Piece of advice - if
you haven't had a textbook
for this much of the semes-
ter, effortlessly lifting one
now isn't going to save your
grade. But, think ahead, you
probably made a profit con-
sidering you can return it to
the JilOQkstore soon and col-
lect your $5. See, petty
crlme does pay off. You can
go buy yourself a coffee
now. Good for you.
4/24 - Upper West Cedar
As the weather gets nicer, it
is only fitting that the stu-
dent body begin taking part
in the usual summer activi-
ties. Catching fireflies in
the field, restless nights
under the stars, and numer-
ous other pastimes rooted in
Americana that no one actu-
ally does, I'm talking corny
stuff. So, of course, it only

makes sense that students
begin having campfires in
the courtyards, as the resj-
dents of Upper West Cedar
believed. Security, however,
apparently disagreed, find-
ing remnants of burnt wood
scattered throughout the
courtyard. Upon question-
ing, one student simply
exclaimed "We didn't start
the fire," while another
insisted that she was just an
uptown girl, living in an
uptown world. The jury is
still out on whether or not
she ever met her back street
guy. Well, she did meet a
guy at Backstreet, but I
don't think that's what Billy
Joel had in mind. For all
who understood this, con-
gratulations; for all who
didn't, well, this is where
you and I depart. It's been
fun.
4/25 - Marian Hall
Just like the summer activi-
ties,
with
the
warmer
weather out come the pyro-
maniacs. Well, maybe not
pyromaniacs, but those with
an affinity for fire. Students
were spotted apparently try.::

all.

Let the booze flow. With
almost too many confisca-
tions to write about, let's
just throw it out there that
well, our campus may not
be as dry as it appears. Well,
besides some quick-witted
sense of humors, but I
digress. Just on one day,
security confiscated Miller
Light, Bud Light, Coors
Light,
Labatt's,
Busch
Light, Pabst Blue Riobon,
and, wait for it, 120 cans of
Natty Light from various
campus accommodations,
with the 120 belonging to
the lucky, and apparently
quite parched, residents of
Leo Hall. Some see this as a
sign of an ongoing problem,
but I'm telling you, our
campus just loves the good
old-fashioned
American
activities, including drink-
ing a beer in front of the
library. In front of security.
In plain view. Okay, so no

scores here, but they try.

you're gonna do it this
time! Oh, wait, that might
not be how it's supposed to
go. Back to the drawing

Well, looks like that's the

Marist recognizes top interns
By
AMANDA
LAVERGNE
Sta
.
ff Writer
Every year Marist takes the
time to recognize those
students
who have
continuously
worked
hard all four years and gained
valuable connections through
internships. One exceptional stu-
dent who exemplifies these qual-
ities is honored with the Intern of
the Year award. Marist then
chooses several students who win
intern of the year for their respec-
tive schools. In addition, an
Employer of the Year is chosen.
Irt
order to be considered for
this prestigious award
students
are rated based on several crite-
ria: GPA, resume presentation,
level of involvement in the intern
program, evidence of profession-
al growth, level of work
responsi-
bility, impact of placement on
career decisions, student-written
communications, and the overall
impression of the materials pre-
sented.
This year at the Field
Experience
Recognition
Luncheon, Jonathan Fromhertz, a
business and management stu-
dent won Intern of the Year from
the college. Fromhertz is a
Dean's List student and is a mem-
ber of Omicron Delta Epsilon,
the economics honor society, and
the Marist Elite Business Club.
"It was a great honor to win,
especially considering the high
caliber and qualifications of my
fellow peers," said Fromhertz.
Fromhertz won this award for
his internship at Johnson &
Johnson and has since received a
full time job offer that he will
begin after graduation in May.
"During my internship, I sup-
ported J&J ITS' Global Data
Center and Global Network
Operations areas. My responsi-
bilities included monthly fman-
cial report preparations, tracking
of financial· targets, internal
billing support, and assisting with
the forecasting of 2007 intra-year
budget updates, as well as budget
planning for 2008. As far as the
job offer I received, I will be tak-

Sophomore Shea named McGowan scholar
By
KRISTEN DOMONELL
Staff Writer
With the stress of writing
papers,
taking finals and regis-
tering
for new classes that char-
acterizes the spring season, one
student now has a little less to
worry about. Sophomore Jesse
Shea, a business administration
and accounting major from
tinton Falls, N.J., was recently
named a McGowan Scholar for
the 2008-2009 academic year.
According to the Public Affairs
office Web site, the
$
I 8,000
McGowan
Scholarship
is
awarded in honor of William G
McGowan, a pioneer in the
telepommunications
industry
and the founder and longtime
chairman
of
MCI
Communications Corporation.
"The McGowan Scholars pro-
gram recognizes the academic
achievements of business stu-
dents and is designed to encour-
age leadership ability, interper-
sonal skills, and significant
involvement in academic, cam-
pus, and community activities
while also recognizing excel-
lence of character, a spirit of
innovation, and entrepreneurial
potential," the Web site said.
Receiving the McGowan
Scholarship and maintaining a
3.96 GPA in his major have
made Shea Marist's top business
student.
"The symbolism as being iden-
tified as Marist's best business
student will focus me on my
goals more than ever before, and
it will help propel me towards
my future aspirations in the
years to come," Shea said.
Shea said he hopes to graduate
with 150 credits so he can sit for
the Certified Public Accountants
(CPA) exam because he would
like to get his start in the busi-
ness world at one of the "Big 4"
accounting
firms which include
Pricewa t~rhouseC oopers,
Deloitte Touche
Tohmatsu,
Ernst & Young and KPMG.
After gaining some work experi-
ence, Shea said he would like to
return to school and receive his
Master's degree in Business
Administration.
On campus, Shea is the
President of the Students in Free
Enterprise (SIPE) club, and
Herald of the newly recognized
chapter of the Theta Delta Chi
fraternity. He is also a member
of the School of Management
Council of Business Leadership
and Campus Ministry.
Tyler Johnson; Social Chair of
Theta Delta Chi, said Shea is an
integral member of the fraternity
and was one of the first students
interested
when the idea of start-
ing the chapter was brought up
last year.
"He's a very stand-up guy. I
think that's the best word to
describe him," Johnson said.
"He's also loyal, trustworthy,
bright, and always there to help
people with work if they need
it."
As Herald, Shea is responsible
for starting off and ending every
meeting with fraternity rituals
and learning in-depth facts that
other brothers might now know.
Beyond these duties, Johnson
said Shea tutors many of his fel-
low fraternity members for their
business classes and has an
extremely good work ethic.
"He's in the library all the
time, not just before finals, but
on a regular basis. He also goes
to the
gym
all the
time
and is a
volunteer fireman,'' Johnson
said. "Everything about his life
is very structured."
Shea said the scholarship
means a lot to his family and
will make his junior year
more
affordable for him.
"This award means
a
lot to me
and it validates the work I've
put
in
over
the
past two years," Shea said.
"The
symbolism
is
also
extrem,ely meaningful, and it is
an honor to be tied to the legacy
of William G McGowan."

When German armies entered

Within three to four weeks, all

1942,
the authorities conducted a

had to get out of their houses
and go out into the street. The

After this, Silberstein and his

After that event, he found his
sisters and father again, but after
two years, their ghetto was liqui-
dated
and they were all put on
cattle cars.
Men, women and
children
were stuck in the cars for a cou-
ple of days, during which they
had to perform the "most dehu-

When they got out, they
stepped off the train

"The thing I remember the
most was fear. We never knew

seven months he
stayed
in
Auschwitz. "The harassment
every day and the fear of not
knowing took a terrible toll on
you."
When he got sick, he was
afraid to report it to authorities,
but eventually he got weaker
and could not fake it anymore.
He went to the hospital and met
the man who would save his life.
A Polish, non-Jew prisoner

Silberstein the first glass of milk

his health improved, the doctor
told him that he could stay at the
hospital and help him.
When there was a selection in
the hospital, the doctor
told
the
authorities that he needed
Silberstein and they accepted
that. He said, "That was a great
thing for me. It's probably why
I'm alive today."
This part of his story was
very
powerful for senior Nicole
Mikaelian.
"It
showed how even though
these people must have had such
a strong instinct towards self-
preservation and survival, they
still looked out for one another,"
she said.

Seven months later, he was
drafted into the American army.
Silberstein said, "I must tell you,
I didn't mind being drafted."
For him, it was a
"lucky

To end his talk, he told of how

Sophomore Michelle Faber
said,
"I thought
that it was so
moving that his two grandchil-
dren were there to watch him
speak. That seemed to make the
whole situation more real for
me. I can only imagine what it
must feel like for his family to
know that he went through
everything that he did."
In an email to the Marist com-
munity, Dr. Joshua Kotzin,
Assistant Professor of English
and Jewish Studies Coordinator
said, "The Holocaust is an event
that touches all of us. We must
learn
its
lessons if such a catas-
trophe is not to
repeat itself.
The
program ... offers an opportunity
to
rededicate
ourselves
to
fight-
ing racism and prejudice wher-
ever they appear."
Silberstein, by telling his story,
was not only able
to
give his
own personal perspective on the
Holocaust, but also open up his
listener's eyes to the realities of
that time period, a time period
that needs to be remembered
in
order to help prevent its events
from
reoccurring.

Spore:
A gam~ that will keep you designing all summer lorig
By
LISA BRASS
Managing Editor
This summer's going to be hot, and not just in
terms of temperature. The first thing that will real-
ly get you pumped if you're a geek (and who
isn't?) is the official release dates of Spore. If
you've missed out, let me tell you that this is a
game beyond the scope of anything that's ever
been seen before. Let's start with a basic cultural
reference: The Sims. We know 'em, we love
'em,
we've played 'em, we've designed them to look
like
us
and our crush and then forced them to make
out and play in the hot tub. Right. Spore is like The
Sims on crack.
In
fact, designer Will Wright was
originally going to call it Sim Everything, but the
name Spore stuck, and Will later commented in an
interview with tech magazine Wired that "not put-
ting 'Sim' in front of it was very refreshing to me.
It feels like it wants to be breaking out into a com-
pletely different thing than what Sim was."
And I think he's succeeded in that. The game-
play begins with the player roaming around on a
microscopic level as a one-celled organism
.
The
player eats other little one-celled organisms and
eventually mutates into two cells. From here on
out, the player controls the evolution of the
species, from its one-celled beginning to its first
steps on land to its fust journeys into space to
form galactic empires. The possibilities are virtu-
ally endless, made even more so by the fact that
the creatures the game begins with are mostly
user-generated.
.
Yeah, that's where we come in. It's a new tech-
nique called crowd sourcing that companies all
over the world are beginning to use. Why should
the company take the time to painstaki!1gly create
twenty different creatures when it could release an
engine called a "creator editor" that will allow
players to create, save, and upload their own crea-
tures to YouTube a full three months before the
.
game itself comes out? I can't even imagine exact-
ly how many creatures will be made for the com-
pany to incorporate, but I'm guessing it will num-
ber in the millions by the end of. the first month.
The creature editor will be released on Jun. 17,
both as a free demo and as a more fully featured
$10 buy, with the full game becoming available on
Sept. 7.
Possibly the best part of the game is that your
version of Spore
will be continually updated from
a giant database containing all the organisms
every player has ever made. These creatures will
be uploaded at random into your own game to
populate it and make clashes between different
species all that more interesting
.
A few juicy details have been released on the
gameplay itself, which was shown at last year's E3
convention. The "phases" of evolution will each
have their own style of play. For example, as a sin-
gle-celled organism, your goal may try to avoid
being eaten. As an interplanetary species
,
perhaps
you will be forced to negotiate a peace treaty with
yet another species. Players may spend as much
time as they like in each stage, choose among dif-
ferent difficulties, and guide creatures to be natu-
rally emotional/logical, peaceful/violent, etc. It is
even possible to speed up time in a phase, passing
by eons in the course of a few seconds
,
and play-
ers can use pre-created organisms to access differ-
ent stages.
It
has been announced that Spore will be released
for the Windows and Mac platforms, with other
operating systems being considered. Right now,
no one knows the system requirements, but many
sources online are predicting requirements similar
to those for The Sims 2. (We're talking 2.0 GHz
processor, 256 MB
RAM,
and at least 3.5 GB of
hard drive space. These are the bare specs, and let
me tell you, they don't run the game very well at
all-they just
run it. Period
.
The more video card
memory you have, the better the frame rates will
be.)
There is also a solid rumor that Spore will even-
tually be able to be played on the Wii.
Hopefully you're now as excited as I am for this
game to arrive. I will definitely be downloading
the demo version to check out if Spore lives up to
the hype, and I recommend you do the same.
Enjoy the game, stay safe this summer, and hit

Hookups and Breakups: Breakups and coping
with a girl's night
By MORGAN NEDERHOOD
Staff Writer
Note: As its the
last issue
of
the
year,
I'd like to
thank all
of my friends who 've
either
inspired
many
of my stories or who 've helped
me immensely
when
I needed
advice
or when I cou/dn 't shake my
writers
block. You guys know who
you
are, and
thanks for letting me harass you about this
column.
There exists a timeless femal~ ritual that count-
less females
experience:
the girl-movie night.
After surrounding themselves with ice cream,
chocolate,
and any other form of junk food,
females will gather in groups of two or more to
watch movies.
Last weekend, my roommate and I were having
our own movie night, equipped with "13 Going on
30",
"Becoming
Jane," and more unhealthy
food
than I care to publicly admit.
Obviously,
•Becoming
Jane' was intended to
cause some serious
crying,
since my roommate and
I just felt like letting it all out. Finals were stress-
ing
us out, we
were
still single, and it was just one
of
those
weekends
where you needed a good cry.
Well, due to extenuating circumstances, the end
of our pity party was
interrupted
at the worst pos-
sible moment: the end of "Becoming Jane."
Ripped out of the movie's plot, my roomie and I
were too distracted to cry, not even when (spoiler
alert!)
Jane Austen stoically leaves the true love
forever.
Unable to have that therapeutic and releasing cry,
we ended our movie night feeling even more
depressed than before, and we were probably about
ten pounds
heavier,
too.
A few days later, the topic of •breakup mourning'
between guys and girl came up between my
friends.
How do guys versus girls act when they've bro-
ken up with their significant others?
While the movie-night with my roommate had
been a simple girls-night, it still followed the basic
pattern most girls use when
.
they're getting over a
breakup.
They watch sad movies. cry about the sad
movies, eat a ton of crap while crying over sad
movies,
then cry some more because they've eaten
so much crap while watching sad movies.
It's a pretty sick and twisted cycle of psycholog-
ical-masochism,
when you think about it.
Yet, I couldn't understand why guys didn't follow
the oh-so-delightful pattern that so many girls did.
I then realized that maybe this bizarre, ritualistic
wallowing
is
actually
making the problem worse.
We're already depressed to begin with, so why do
females make it worse by
watching
sad movies and
gorging ourselves?
A lot of females will claim this
self-pity-
marathon is somehow releasing, which, I'll admit,
a good cry always is.
Males, on the other hand, tend to avoid this fies-
•
ta of depression and instead opt for distractions.
According to my 'research'
(
or my poor friends,
whom I harass for
insight,)
guys don't see any
point in making themselves feel worse then they
already are.
Life
already
sucks. Why make it worse?
I had to admit, my friends had a ridiculously valid
point.
Usually, this act of avoidance is dismissed by the
simple notion that males just don't express their
emotions as much as females.
However, my 'studies' showed that guys talk
about their emotions just as much as girls, they're
just less apt to talk about their feelings in the sort
of group
settings
that females so love.
Off the top of my head, I was able to list rough-
ly seven people to whom I could talk in case of
post-breakup depression (which would require a
boyfriend in the first place, but let's take this one
step at a time.)
After more research (more harassment,) I
weaseled out of my friend the fact that he'd talk to
a small number of people in case of post-breakup
depression.
He couldn't give me an exact definition of "a
small number" since he said it could vary case by
case.
I suggested two people as a ballpark figure, and
he agreed (or just wasn't paying attention.)
Whatever the actual number was, it definitely
wasn't even close to the list of seven people I had
quickly scrawled on the notebook in front of me.
Looks like girls rt;ally do open up to more people
than guys.
In the end, my guy friends' approach to breakups
( or just being sad in general) seemed a lot healthh-
er than the
stereotypical
chocolate-and-tears cock~
tail that girls tend to mix for themselves.
Sure, everyone needs to cry and just let out your
depression. anger, etc., hut a marathon of this prac-
tice seems a bit much, even a bit masochistic.
Next time
-
or, if ever
-
f'm depressed over my
latest breakup, I think I'll
try
distracting myself
from the sorrow rather than soaking in
it.
Or, maybe I'll still spend days going through the
cycle of movies, tears, and chocolate. When else
can I get away with feeling so sorry for myself?

and bonfires on the beach.
"Livin' on a Prayer" - Bon
Jovi:
The iconic 1986 song that
describes Tommy and Gina's
working class woes may not
seem like the most appropriate
song for a season that's associat-
ed with
fun,
but it's a song that
everyone sings along to, there-
fore making it a must-have for
any summer party.
"Days Go By" - Keith
Urban:
Nothing makes you
want to go out and embrace the
day like a sunny summer morn-
ing, and Urban's 2004 song fully
supports that
carpe diem
mental-
ity. The upbeat feel to the song
masks the slightly depressing
notion that our life is flying by
unless we stop and enjoy every
day, which is easy to do in the
summer.

The interviews I hate are when
musicians or athletes just deliver
a collection of cliches that fill up
space but are devoid of ideas.
When you ask hard-hitting or
more personal questions (like
asking Val Kilmer about his
brother's death in an Esquire
article) what is going through
your head? Do you ever feel
uncomfortable? Does your
approach change at all?
In regard to your Val Kilmer
question .. .it's always situation-
al. Asking Kilmer about this
dead brother was a little uncom-
fortable, but it wasn't painful. It
was a subject he seemed interest-
ed in talking about, at least up to
a
ROint.
And once we reached
that point, I backed off. Celebrity
journalism is not hard journal-
ism. It's not like I was talking to
Nixon about Kent State. There is
no societal "need to know" about
Kilmer
'
s personal history
.
So
I
just push things as far as I rea-
sonably can. I don't think having
an adversarial conversation is
ever unreasonable, especially
within the context ·of an inter-
view he agreed to participate in.
But I'm also not going to try and
ruin somebody's life just because
the process might be interesting.
While it's true that I have no
relationship with the people I
interview, they
'
re still humans
.
I
would agree that there is
""mt
societal 'need to
krio~'
about Kilmer's personal histo-
ry," but what
I have found in
your writing is that, while you
may be writing about a partic-
ular person or trend, you
frame this trend/person
in a
society. You seem to have a
keen ability to grasp the
greater cultural significance.
Why is this important for
you? Why is this important for
your readers?
To me, that seems like the central
purpose of arts writing - to fig-
ure why something has meaning
outside of itself.
Summer beauty: Bolds vs.Neutrals
By
COURTNEY SAVOIA
Staff Writer
Many summer clothing trends
have crossed over into makeup
and beauty products this season.
Btjght colors, light pastels and
bold patterns have been seen on
the runway and are a fun way to
add something extra to your sum-
mer beauty routine.
Bright lips in shades of pink
and red will make you stand out
in a crowd. It is important to
choose neutral eyeshadow and
blush if you choos
e
to wear
brightly colored lip gloss because
only one trend should be high-
lighted at a time.
For those who are a bit more
cons
e
rvativ
e,
neutral lips are also
big this season. Pale pinks and
corals work for almost every skin
tone. If you choose to do a pale
lip, you can wear a bright eye-
shadow and some bronzer
,
with-
out making yourself look too
overdone.

Behind
the scenes of Marist being green
By-DAVID MIEIJ\CH
Circle Contributor
With the final week of class-
es underway, the campus of
Marist College is turning green
as the trees fill up with leaves
and the grass is beginning to
grow all around. However,
these are not the only things
turning green.
.
Since 2003, the college has
worked to make the campus
more environmentally friendly,
highlighted
this year with the
establishment of the Campus
Sustainability
Advisory
Committee.
"The mission of Marist is to
promote a distinct and high-
quality
education
which
includes
educating
our stu-
dents to become more con-
scious of the
environment
and
the world around them," said
Steve
Sansola, co-chair
of the
Campus
Sustainability
Advisory Committee (CSAC).
"Part of this involves treating
our environment with respect
and having minimal impact."
In the past five years Marist
has been active in helping to
reduce and minimize its impact
on the environment
-
the
impact has been felt in all areas
of campus.
"The change in the environ-
mental measures on campus
from mY. first year has been
much better," said
Mike
McGlinn,
a
senior
Environmental Science major.
"The
campus has improved
greatly but I feel that there is
always room for improve-
ment."
In 2003 the campus replaced
all washers and dryers on cam-
pus
with
energy-efficient
machines which saved almost
1,900,000 gallons of water in
the first year. Using less water
means that they also use less
energy.
The campus has also saved
water by switching to energy-
efficient shower heads and toi-
lets which use less water with
each use.
The campus has also begun
composting all food in the res-
ident dining program in the
past year.
"The change in the campus
dining services has been very
beneficial to the environment,"
said Sansola. "It has created a
green cycle since Marist now

produces the compost from its
food waste which it then buys
back as the compost for cam-
pus landscape projects.
The decrease in waste also
results in less trash pickups,
saving gas for the trucks and
thus helping the envin;mment."
Marist has also partnered
with
Funding Factory to recy-
cle printer cartridges and cell
phones to make recycling more
than just the collection of cans
and
bottles.
These recycled cell phones
and cartridges help to generate
funds for Student Appreciation
Day and Marist Fun Day.
"I had no idea Marist did so
.
many things to help the envi-
ronmentt said Chris Fratino, a
freshman at Marist. "It's· nice
and refreshing to hear that the
college is doing something to
make a positive impact on the
world we live in."
The campus has also been
active in going green for the
future.
The Hancock Center for
Technology, which is sched-
uled to open in several years
on the current location of
Benoit House and Gregory
House, is being designed to the
Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED)
standards.
The building will be the first
academic building on campus
to be considered green accord-
ing to LEED which is a build-
ing rating system which makes
sure all construction projects
are environmentally friendly.
These actions have had and
will have a positive effect on
the campus and environmental
footprint of the college .
'3
hope that all students will
simply change their daily
habits in order to have a posi-
tive environmental effect,"
said Sansola. "I hope we can
instill a positive behavior in all
students to treat the environ-
ment with respect so all can
enjoy
it."

Rickards allowed only five about and was able to tack on

they were able to pu}J out the

After pitching dominated the

sophomore starter Richard Cary

Sharkey
and VanHall
lead offensive
outburst
ByCODYLAHL
Staff Writer
The Marist men's lacrosse
team's offense exploded for 15
goals in the Red Foxes' season
finale against Wagner at Tenney
Stadium on Saturday, Apr. 26.
Top performers for the Red
Foxes were sophomore attack
Ryan Sharkey with 4 goals and 1
assist and senior attack Pat
VanHall with 2 goals and 1 assist
as 12 different Foxes recorded
points.
Sophomore
attack
Matt
Teichmann expressed satisfac-
tion with the Red Foxes offen-
sive performance in their season
finale.
"We had 15 goals on 10 assists,
so that
really
speaks to the fact
that we played together ... Coach
Wilkinson really stressed that we
not be selfish and work together
and look for the extra pass for an
easy goal instead of settling for
12 yard shots."
Marist and Wagner traded goals
through the first 10 minutes of
the contest with junior Paul
Santavicca recording the first
goal of the match at the 12:22
mark and Sharkey recorded his
first of the contest at the 6:49
mark.
Wagner
attack
Jeff
Policicchio tied the game, 2-2, at
the 6: 16 mark of the first quarter;
however, Marist freshman mid-
fielder Zachary Walsh was unas-
sisted
in
putting Marist in
front
for
good, 3-2, at the
5:19
mark.
The Red
Foxes
would never
look back after Walsh's goal as
Marist recorded the next six
goals
of
the
contest.
The scoring
outburst was highlighted by
Sharkey recording two of his
four goals of the contest. The
first of these came with one sec-
ond remaining in the
first
quar-
ter, while VanHall and
sopho-
more midfielder Matt Francis
each recorded a pair of goals en
route to a 9-2 Marist lead.
Wagner
sophomore
John
Fiorini intenupted Marist's scor-
ing outburst by recording the
final goal of the first half, unas-
sisted,
at the 3:41 mark of the
second quarter to cut Marist's
lead to 9-3. However, this would
be all the
·
offense the Seahawks
could muster
against
a Marist
defense that allowed
less
than
their 8.78 goals per game aver-
age for the fifth contest in a row.
Over the course of the first
half, Marist outshot Wagner, 22-
14, while Wagner recorded eight
groundballs to Marist's six.
Senior goalie Terrance Dempsey
was dominant in goal with eight
saves and senior defensive mid-
fielder Dan Needle won nine of
the twelve first half face-offs.
After a quiet third quarter where
Marist senior midfielder Pete
O'Hara recorded the only goal
unassisted
with
34
seconds
remaining, the Marist offense
caught fire in the fourth quarter
as five different Red Foxel
recorded goals.
Teichmann

11-3. Freshman attack Ryan
McNierney and Needle recorded
unassisted goals at the 7:01 and
6:47 marks, respective!y, to give
Marist a 13-3 lead before
VanHall assisted Sharkey in
recording his fourth and final
goal of the contest at the 3: I 6
mark. Finally, senior midfielder
Matt McNemey was assisted by
freshman attack Corey Zindel
in
recording
Marist's 15th goal of
the contest during a man-up
opportunity at the 3
:07
mark.
For the second half, the Marist
defense held Wagner without a
goal and went a perfect 5-5 on
dears. Despite being outshot 19-
16, Marist outscored Wagner, 6-
0, while sophomore goalie Sam
Altiero made five saves in net.
Marist also recorded 17 ground-
balls to Wagner's 14 and eight
turnovers to Wagner's 10.
Teichmann also had closing
words regarding their season as a
whole and optimism for next
year's campaign.
"I think the
way
the season
rwent
will-
provide
all
the
emo--
tion, motivation and fire
we'll
need to be
successful
next
sea-
son," Teichmann said.
"I'm
con-
fident that everyone
will
come
back next fall
ready
to go to
work and
excited
to redeem our-
selves. We had a great senior
class and everyone was
really
disappointed we couldn't have
been more successful for them,
but I know everyone
will
be
pumped to get better next
year.
The only place to
really
go is
up."

Segni breaks record; Foxes prep for MAAC tourney
By MIKE WALSH
Staff Writer
We all remember roughly three
weeks ago, hearing through the
grapevine that senior
captain
Mike Rolek
.had
broken the
schools 10,000 meter record for
Men's
Track
&
Field.
All of Red Fox nation was proud
of Mike for achieving this mag-
nificent accomplishment, and
deservedly so.
Junior distance runner Girma
Segni had a simple goal at the
Penn Relays; to improve his own
10,000 time.
When the times were
announced, not only did Segni
improve his own time by 30 sec-
onds, he also outran Rolek's
short-lived school record by 14
seconds.
This came less than a week
after Segni set Marist's record in
the 5,000 meter run back in
Princeton on ,Apr. 18.
To pile on to the attributes of a
great day at the track, his 10,000
time also qualified him for the
IC4A Championships.
Second year runner Conor
Shelley and junior co-captain
John Keenan also had great days
down in Philadelphia. Shelley
placed 21st
in
the 5,000 meter
with a time of 14:52:67, a per-
sonal best by 18 seconds.
Keenan ran the 3,000 meter stee-
plechase in a time of 9:39:77.
That was a ten second improve-
ment over his time in the same
race last season.
On Sunday, the Marist men's
and women's track teams trav-
eled to Yale for the Yale
Springtime Invitational. It was a
big day for the underclassmen on
the team as two freshmen and a
sophomore
had
noticeable
accomplishments.
Freshman
Nick Webster finished fourth in
the 3,000

chase with a
time of 9:39:93, a personal best.

Marist softball manages a split with Canisius after Niagara sweep
By JUSTINE DECOTIS
Staff
Writer
The Marist women's softball
team returned home to Gartland
Athletic Field this weekend for
a tough weekend with double-
headers against Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
opponents
Canisius
and
Niagara, who going into the
weekend sat 1-2, respectively, in
the conference standings.
It
was
not the happiest of homecom-
ings for the Foxes, who went 1-
3 after they were swept by
Niagara and managed a spilt
with the Golden Griffins of
Canisius.
Megan Rigos got the start for
Marist on Saturday in the first
game against Niagara and did
not pitch like her usual doJUi-
nant self. She pitched the com-
plete game but was roughed up,
allowing
ten
runs, eight earned,
on
thirteen hits.
Two big innings were the prob-
lem as Canisius
pushed
across
three runs in the second and four
in the sixth. Home runs were
also a problem as the Griffins
hit three home runs off of Rigos.
The damage was minimized
though as all three came with no
runners on.
The Red Foxes were able to
stay within striking distance for
much of the game as they scored
two runs in the bottom of the
fourth. Lindsey Kinel doubled
with one out, advanced to third
on single \)y Alanna Woody, and
then scored when Woody was
thrown out stealing at second.
Later in the inning, Mary Beth
Pomes scored on an RBI triple
by Melissa Giordano.
The Foxes tried to mount a
furious comeback in the bottom
of the seventh down by eight
runs, but were only able to score
two as they lost 10-4.
In
the second game, Marist
struck first on a solo home run
by Pamela de la Llave in the
bottom of the third.
That was the only offense the
Foxes mustered in the game.

Marist takes care of business, captures first MAAC crown
By
MATT
SPILLANE
News Co-Editor
The t-shirts with "unfinished
business"
that
the
Marist
women's lacrosse team adorned
at the beginning of this season
will not be needed any longer.
For the second consecutive year,
the Red Foxes had an opportuni-
ty to take home the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC)
championship, but did
not let their goal slip away this
time around.
Marist defeated Fairfield (17.:..2
overall; 6-0 in the
MAAC)
10-9
on Sunday, April 27, at Iona
College to earn the first MAAC
title in program history. The Red
Foxes (10-8, 5-1) found them-
selves down 8-4 at the half
before storming back to seize the
lead midway through the second
half.
The victory came two days
after the Red Foxes defeated
Canisius (9-9, 4-2) 15-10 in the
first :round of the MAAC tourna-
ment
to
advance to Sunday's title
game. Marist qualified for the
NCAA tournament by winning
the conference and will visit
Patriot
League
champion
Colgate (9-9, 5-1 in the Patriot
League) in a play-in game on
Saturday, May 3.
The Red
Foxes snapped
Fairfield's 17 game winning
streak on Sunday, the longest
winning streak in Division I this
season. Marist exacted revenge
on the Stags, who beat the Red
Foxes 11-10 in overtime earlier
this year. Despite the earlier loss
to Fairfield, the Red Foxes went
into the title tilt liking their odds.
"We knew we were the better
team," senior goalkeeper Liz
Burkhard said, "We are stronger
as a ,earn. We were ready, we
knew it."
Marist's first MAAC cha,mpi-
onship comes a year after the
team dropped an 11-10 overtime
decision to Le Moyne in the
2007 conference title game.
After letting last year's champi-
onship game slip away, the team
expressed its ~ense of fulfillment
in achieving its goal this season.
"It
was awesome,
especially
coming off the loss last year,"
junior midfielder Stephanie
Garland said.
Burkhard agreed.
"It's
just setting in today," she
said,
"It
was something you can't
even really describe. To come
back and win like Le Moyne did
to us [last year] was even better."
Garland
spearheaded
the
team's 6-1
second
half rally with
three goals, including the eventu-
al game-winner with 15:27 left in
the game. Seven other players
scored one goal apiece for
Mari'-t. including
sophomore
midfielder
Liz Falco, junior mid-
fielder Carolyn Sumcizk, and
junior attack Kate Noftsker, who
each recorded one assist as well.
Marist's second half
turn-
around was also keyed by the
defense, which was led by
Burkhard. She made 14 saves
and grabbed two groundballs and
was selected as the
tournament's
Most Outstanding Player for her
performance. Burkhard was also
selected Honorable Mention
Player
of the
Week

played a crucial role in stifling
Fairfield's
offense.
Musto
defended
freshman
Kristen
Coleman, who was the Stags'
most prolific scorer this season
with 68 goals and 22 assists.
Musto, with the help of her
teammates, held Coleman to two
goals in the first half and just one
assist in the second. Li

"We definitely put a little bit of

Colgate got the best of Marist
over spring break, defeating the
Red Foxes 15-12. Marist only
had four players ~core that game,
while the Red Raiders had nine
players find the back of the net.
However, the Red Foxes are con-
fident heading into the rematch.
"We
know we can beat them."
Burkhard
said,
"We came out to
a huge start against them and
then finished big, so we just have
to play our game for 60 minutes
and we'll be fine."
In addition to Marist's earlier
setback against Colgate, the Red
Foxes have other incentives to
topple the Red Raiders. Coach
Kotowicz is a former college
teammate of Colgate Head
Coach Heather Bliss. both of
whom were

"It's definitely a rivalry on

said,

this game is anyone's so
we're excited."
The Marist-Colgate matchup
is
a play*in game, so the winner
