rape shocks campus
·
By
ANDREW OVERTON
News Co-Editor
The alleged rape of a Marist stu-
dent near the East Campus bridge
has
sparked concern and change
among the commllllity.
At approximately 3:30 AM on
Saturday, Feb. 2 a female student
was forced to the ground and
allegedly raped by a man with a
ski mask, according to the
Poughkeepsie Journal.
Marist Security, Student Affairs,
and the Town of Poughkeepsie
Police were notified and respond-
ed, according
to
a -memo from the
Director of Safety and Security
John
Gildard.
"The College is cooperating fully
with the investigation by town
police," Director of Public
Relations Tim Massie said. "We
ask anyone who may have any
infonnation
to
please contact secu-
rity or the town police. As the facts
of this case become available to
the College, we will make them
available to the campus commlllli-
ty."
Marist has taken some steps
since the incident to increase secu-
rity on campus.
"Patrols
in
that
area
had already
been increased and there will be
even more patrols after midnight,"
Massi
said.
Marist will evaluate their. cwnpus
employment, deployment of secu-
rity officers, and campus lighting
issues, Gildard said.
Currently, Safley & Security is
working with Justin Butwell,
Officer of Physical Plants, to
examine the lighting issues on
campus.
"Crime responsibility is under
several parts of campus," Gildard
said.
In
his memo
to
the Marist com-
munity,
John
Gildard referred to
the inctdent as sexual assault, lead-
ing some students to believe that a
lesser crime occurred.
"I
just heard about the rape, but
I thought it was just an uncon-
firmed report," senior Nico Grasso
said.
Massie offered an explanation
for this
turn
of events.
"When
Mr.
Gildard issued his
memo to the campus community,
it was not known what
type
of
attack actually took place," Massie
said.
'"The student asked
to
speak with
a female town police officer
.
Rather than wait for the outcome
of that discussion,
Mr.
Gildard
rightfully believed he should get a
memo to students, faculty and staff
as quickly as possible," he added.

The campus awoke Saturday
with more than the seasonal chill
in the February morning air.
There was a chill more insidious
- a female Marist student had
allegedly been raped in the pre-
dawn hours on a campus wliere
the rest of the students were still
comfortably asleep.
On a campus where it appears
people have generally felt
secure, the consensus at Marist
is now not so clear, with some
students are questioning campus
security's practices.
"I feel like I see [security] on
[the maib] campus all the time,
but on the other side of Route
9,
I
don't usually see them," soph-
omore Joe Walsh said. "That is,
unless they are parked between
Fulton and Upper West."
Some females on campus
expressed that they now feel
especially threatened.
"It's not fair that as a girl you
can't just walk from one house
to another at night without your
life or safety being threatened,"
said Molly Costello, sophomore.
Student
Government
Association representatives said
they believe action must be
taken.

Matthew Reiman, Speaker of
the Senate, said "people are very
concerned, because they don't
expect that to happen.
I
was per-
sonally shocked. The general
consensus is that something has
to be done about it."
Senator Chris Waters warned
that students have to be careful
regardless of security measures.
"No matter how much secu-
rity there is on campus, given
our location, there is always a
risk. What we hope to do is to
target certain areas, and call for
more of a security presence,"
Waters said.
Ashley Asquino, a junior and
resident of Fulton, expressed the
same sentiment.
"I
could see how something
like that could happen because
it's always a scary thing walking
in that area, especially at night
when it's pretty much deserted."
Students have also voiced con-
cern that the memorandum sent
to the community via e-mail was
vague and mischaracterized the
incident.
"When the students were
[informed via e-mail], it was
listed as a sexual assault,"
Waters said.
"It
wasn't until it
ran in the
Poughkeepsie Journal
that it was listed as rape. Rape is
definitive, something brutal,
something terrible, and some-
thing wrong.
It
is a hell of a lot
different from sexual assault."
Asquino also voiced. her dis-
pleasure with the lack of infor-
mation.
"I
feel less safe because
I
do
not think that we were informed
well enough about the incident.
This is the first
I
am hearing that
it actually was rape," Asquino
reiterated.
"I'm living in Fulton now and
I
have always complained about
the lack of security around that
area and since the incident I do
not believe that
I
have seen any
security in the Fulton area," she
added.
Sophomore Janie Sheehan also
expressed concern involving the
general misinformation and lack
of awareness around campus.
"I didn't realize it was rape at
first,"
Sheehan
explained,
"because the email said sexual
assault.
I
found out yesterday
from a friend that it was rape,
and
I
was shocked.
I
didn't think
that something like that could
happen here. I think they really
should have told us that."
SGA will meet on Wednesday
to discuss Sunday's incident and
address the concerns of students
as well as call for an increase in
security on campus.

1/28 - Champagnat
Residents of Champagnat bond-
ed
with the chilly air during a
recent fire alarm, which was
found to have been set off due
to someone smoking a cigarette
in the stairwell. Yeah, because
that won't set the fire alarm off
or anything. This does, howev-
er, bri11g new meaning to the
phrase "stepping outside for a
cigarette." Seriously, isn't that
part of the deal?
If
you need
your nicotine goodness that
badly, shouldn't you have to
suck it up and go stand outside
in the cold, with only the burn-
ing ember of your trusty ciga-
rette to warm you? There's
addiction, and then there is just
laziness. You can't have both.
Choose carefully.
1/28 - Talmadge
Across campus, another fire
alarm was echoing with the
sounds of burnt pizza. My heart
wants to believe that this was
fresh, brick-oven pizza you had
spent all day preparing. Rolled-
out dough, fresh mozzarella,
finely chopped basil -

know, Mario Batali style. But,
underneath it all, this only rings
of warmed-up delivery taken
way too far. It's not your fault,
microwaves are hard. They
have buttons, and doors, and
when they're on all you want to
do is place your face right
against the glass and grab a
front-row seat. In fact,
try
it
sometime. Let me know how it
works out for you.
1/30 - Gartland
A noise complaint was lodged
against the residents of one
Gartland apartment, with the
clamor in question stemming
from a loud television. Wow,
Marist kids really are as crazy
as they seem. First, playing dan-
gerous games with the volume
on televisions, then, who
knows? Maybe holding hands,
and driving up to Lovers' Lane?
My Golly, Mary Sue!
1/30 - Fulton
In the Fulton parking lot, two
cars collided, most likely mak-
ing unlikely friends out of the
drivers. I smell a sitcom! 0~
second thought, though, consid-
ering one car belonged to a stu-
dent and the other was a
Poughkeepsie cab, maybe not.
In the cab driver's defense,
however, when he asked his
passenger where to, "directly
into that Ford Escort side door,"
was his answer. Can't say they
aren't reliable.
1/30-Lower
Townhouses/Champagoat
Two students, residing in the
above-mentioned housing
reported obscene phone calls at
strange hours of the night. Well,
that's not creepy or anything.
Even creepier, both phone calls
were around midnight to
2:00
AM,
because if
anything
helps
people go to sleip,
ifs
not
warm milk or fres~Iy brewed
tea, it's a deep-voiced man
breathing heavily into a receiv-
er.
Mmm,
I'm tired just thinking
about it. How does one even get
selected for this? Is it ju~t luck
of the draw? The closest I get to
obscene phone calls is obsceni-
ty-laced ones asking how I
managed to drain my bank
account in less than a week. In
hindsight, I'd probably trade
one of those for some heavy
breathing. At least then I can
tell him I already checked the
children, and I'd really rather
them go first than me. That'll
freak him out.
2/1 - Cbampagoat
On top of their game as always,
security confiscated a college
student staple (read: Busch
Light) over the weekend and
allowed the students to carry_ on
like the wayward sons they are.
Damn, not only did security
take your party buzz, but there
goes almost
$20.
Totally not
cool. That's like,
8
days at the
lemonade stand for you.
2/3 - Upper West Cedar
Broken bottles were found lit-
tered across the Upper West
courtyard, although upon
fur-
ther inspection, no one seemed
to determine what they were
from. My take? Because, well, I
know you want it so badly. Two
renegade Marist students decid-
ed to take a fight outside,
thought they would be badass
and break some bottles for easy
weaponry. Then, in a stunning
fit of sobriety, they realized
they, well, weren't. Come on,
you go to Marist. You're sur-
rounded by Poughkeepsie; you
aren't going to be badass. That's
like saying you can throw a
punch and having Chuck
Liddell in the next room.

Speaking of tears, there were
bound to be some this weekend.
With the dream ending for the
New England Patriots and
another one
·
beginning for the
New York Giants, it is only nat-
ural for the campus to be tom.
Although most sided with the
Giants, considering, well, we're
in New York and even people
who are part of New England
somehow hate the Patriots
(what's \lP, Connecticut?), I've
got to say it sucked to see the
Patriots attempt at history end
like that. Two students appar-
ently also saw both sides,

2/4 - Champagnat
To go along with last week's
theme of bre'akfast gone hay-
wire, security found an empty
carton of eggs in Champagnat,
prompting them to put two and
two together and find a student
throwing eggs out the window.
When que~tioned, the student
responded that he/she just want-
ed the rest of campus to have a
hearty breakfast. And by hearty,
he/she meant hit them in the
heart after being thrown out a
elevated window. .
Now, on a serious note, it would
be remiss to have a weekly

the rape that roc.ently occurred

S.N.A.P., so take full advantage
of that. No, not that kind of
escort program. Sickos.

Focus the Nation educates Marist community about climate
change
F acuity and students address take a practical look at the global warming
issue
By
SHANNON LECOMTE
Staff Writer
No other word but successful
could describe the outcome of
last Thursday's events. Focus the
Nation came to Marist
on
January
31
and opened the eyes
of students, faculty and staff all
across campus.
Steve Sansola, Associate
Dean
for Student Affairs/Co-Chair
Campus Sustainability Advisory
Committee, said he was satisfied
with the participations at the
event.
"Many of our students had the
opportunity to hear from faculty
and guest speakers to learn more
about climate change perspec-
tives and solutions for a sustain-
able lifestyle," he stated.
Presentations
·by
Marist facul-
ty members were given to
address
issues regarding global
wanning and the role of various
disciplines on climate change
solutions. These issues will
affect students of all disciplines.
Dr.
Richard
Feldman, Chair of
Environmental
Science
&
Policy,
noted that climate change
has brought together people that
normally· wouldn't associate
under other circumstances.
"There was a tremendous
diversity of interest areas," he
said speaking of the day's
events.
"There was very few from the
sciences and more from the
social sciences."
The concluding event consist-
ed of distinguished keynote
speakers as well as a variety of
locally grown foods. Apples,
cheeses and organic assortments
were offered to guests, enforcing
the main points of the discus-
sion.
President Murray led the
keynote address by using
his
advice to educate, as
a
way of
informing the audience about
Marist's role in making
a
differ-
ence.
"Marist
is a strong supporter
of
the Green Way movement,"
he
said. "Marist started Longview
Park as well as
helped
establish
Quiet Cove."
Issues regarding energy
and
water conservation were among
the many compellin:g topics.
Plans for a nature conservancy

Students receive free flu shots to
keep statewide outbreak
_
off campus
By
KRISTEN DOMONELL
Staff Writer
Bad weather did not stand in
the way of students filing into
the Student Center to receive the
free flu shots offered by Health
Services and the Dutchess
.
County Department of Health.
.. These are the only
healthy
stu-
dents left on campus,"
one
Health Services employee said.
Last Wednesday, Marist Health
Services sent an e-mail to
stu-
dents, faculty and staff confirm-
ing that it had identified cases of
the flu on campus.
The flu is not only a campus
problem. According
to
the New·
York State Department of Health
Web site, the illness is spreading
through New York and other
states, and, "to date, influenza
has been reported in 34 New
York State counties and in the
five boroughs of New York
City."
Availability and cost are major
factors in the decision to get the
flu shot, some students said.
Sophomore Amanda DeJourdan
was one of more than
300
stu-
dents who came out to the
Student Center Friday, Feb. 11
for the clinic.
"I didn't have the money last
time; it was right before
Christmas, I think," DeJourdan
said. "I get sick easily and decid-
ed to get the shot now

Sophomore Jenn Ruegnitz said
she was abroad in London last
semester and that her doctor did
not have any available shots
when she came home.
"I have allergies, so I'm con-
sidered high risk," Ruegnitz said.
"I'm supposed to get the shot
every year."
The clinic gave students the
opportunity to protect them-

en out in the last hour of the
clinic.
"I
didn't think so many college
students would be so proactive
and come get the shot," Ruegnitz
said.
According to Susan Strauss, a
Health Services employee, the
office had
350
shots to give out,
but was forced to call the
Dutchess County Department o
Health for more shots based on
the high turnout.
Although many students are
now vaccinated, there are still
many at risk for catching the flu.
According to the New York State
Department of Health Web site,
getting
vaccinated is the best
way to prevent getting the flu.
"You
can also reduce your ris

desktops and telephones. Eating

"In

stated. "Be more conscious of

gaining
more
and more recognition
each year. With that comes a
lot of renovating and transi-
tion. As many students have
heard, Benoit and Gregory will
be knocked down this summer
to make room for a new aca-
demic building. Across the
street, Lower Fulton is in the
process of being built which is
also causing a lot of commo-
tion among this year's fresh-
man class since they may now
be gjven the opportunity to live
in Foy next year. While this is
all good news, I can't help but
wonder-is thi~ really what the
Marist campus needs?
I feel that Marist should look
into a new dining hall or anoth-
er cabaret styled spot to eat.
Although the d~ning hall is
improving, it is still not enough
to
keep Marist students satis-
fied. Sure, there is the cabaret,
but it is pricey and all that

With these numbers rising,

this year and in years past have
had to triple up in double sized

Next time you are out at a bar, be sure to
"take care of your bartenders" because we real-
ly do work hard for you
.
Yes
,
you, the intoxicat-
ed customers we have to deal with. We are mas-
ters of mixology
,
or at least convince you that
we are. We are your bartender
s
and our main
responsibili

y is to serve you and to make you
feel welcome and appreciated at our bar. (Insert
Cheers theme song).
We're the ones who supp
l
y you with the
"

and also the ones who have the power
to cut you off. On a busy night of work
,
we are
taking multiple orders
,
counting change
,
clean-
ing up, and hearing our name being called on
opposite ends of the bar. We bear witness to the
poise that leads to sloppiness
,
and we catch a
glimpse at the unexpected hook ups and other
dramas that unfold. We also remember people
who don't tip, and on bad n
i

(and estrogen) will reach their peak and some-
one usually gets hurt
.
Bartending is probably one of the best ways
to earn a
s
ubstantial and steady income as a col-
lege student
,
especially if you have a busy
schedule during the week and weekends
.
Sure,
you sacrifice a big night out with your friends,
but when you leave the bar with a pocket full of
cash and crazy
s
tories
,
you leave satisfied
.
You
are associated with that bar, and when you go in
on your night off you can expect to enjoy the
privileges of working there. This., of course,
depends on where you actually bartend
.
I'm
talking about a major college bar, the kind that
you can count on to be packed and sweaty with
a line formed outside and down the street.
From my year and
a
half of experience I can
say that bartending never fails to entertain me.

and have earned y.our tip.
On
the other hand,
you have people come in who are blatantly rude
and don't know how to say "thank you",
or
pea:-
ple who are too drunk to make any sense.
Ne,edless to say, a ]jttle patience is requir.ed for
the job.
When you have the power to charge people
for drinks some people find it charming to try to
get away with a discounts. You don't know these
people

but they usually place

There's a new trend on the
Internet these days
:
old people.
They
'
ve been trickling in since
about 1996. Twelve years later,
however, they're streaming in
with as much enthusiasm as
they first showed when cheap
and easy automobiles were
introduced back in the early
l
900's. The elderly's journey to
the new world is being aided by
things like senior citizen com-
puter cJasses
,
a new level of
ease and simplicity when it
comes to both computers and
the
Internet,
and the need for
communication with loved
ones-and especially with
grandchHdren.
I can remember back ten
years ago when my maternal
grandparents first became inter-
ested in computers. They
bought their first desktop and
used it to play solitaire. For
four years. I'm not kidding
.
The breakthrough came when
they bought their second desk-
top after the first one broke (too
much solitaire can be damag-
ing, apparently) and
hooked
up
a modem for first-class Prodigy
dial-up
service
.
'My gr~ndfather was very into
online banking (this is before
the year 2000-I'd call him as
progressive as they come) but
my
grandmother
wouldn't
touch the computer
,
let alone
surf the slow-paced online
world. She didn't feel the need,
she would announce at least
three times a visit, "to use that
confounded machine
.
"
Grandpop, on the other hand,
was beginning to have a blast.
He moved from online banking

should-have-died-in-1996 web
sites. You know, the ones with
midi files that began to play
automatically when you visit
the page. The ones with three
rows of animated dancing ham-
sters and an animated 'Email
me!' mailbox for good meas-
ure. The ones with unique
,
flashing color combinations
that match up purple
,
orange,
and yellow all in one healthy
dol1op.
My
grandpa
was
absolutely hooked. He showed
the sites to my grandmom and,
lo and behold, she liked them
too
.
I then made the mistake of
walking them through sending
an email and giving them my
own address.
Worst decision ever.
Suddenly I was getting twen-
ty messages a day from
my
grandparents alone. Typical
contents included overdone
blonde jokes
,
animated grand-
mas dancing to Elvis music,
Yiddish fables
,
and badly
drawn flash games. And I don't
mind quoting Kevin Rose of
Digg.com
and
Diggnation
when I affirm that free person-
alized gr"eting cards are like
crack to old peopJe; they just
can't get enough of them!
Over the past few years
though, my grandparents have
matured quite a bit, technologi-
cally speaking
.
My grandpop
uses the Netflix service to rent
DVDs
.
Then he and my grand-
mom will watch them before he
uses his brand new laptop to rip
a copy. Every Sunday, they go
to a weekly flea market with all
their old friends and sell the
copies for a few bucks each.
My grandpop describes it as his
"
hobby
.
" The rest of us
describe it as "illegal
"
.
My grandmom doesn't mind
.
She's busy, too. Fact is that she
now has her very own laptop
,
which she doesn't allow my
grandpop to touch unless it's to
"fix the damn thing." She also
has a high
-

/
scanner
and quality photo paper that she
uses
tO'

prints of everything, whether
it's a photo of her grandchil-
dren or a photo of her parents
that's been blown
-
up, colored,
and sharpened for quality.
Every now and then she'll print
out a photo that's clearly not
hers and sell it next to my
grandfather at the flea market.
It's not illegal, she reasons, if
it's just to bring in
a
little extra
Pinochle money.
It's nice to be able to
keep in
touch with them
more
easily
through email. I hate talking
on
the phone with them
because
they're both deaf as posts
-
you
need to scream every sentence
to get it communicated well.
It's also a good thing that they
haven't been
left behind.
Computers are in use every-
where nowadays, and the
knowledge they get
using
the
laptops in their
own
home
makes life easier for them else-
where.
But ... do we really want
old
people
on
the Internet in gener-
al? I personally get rea11y
creeped
out
when someone
over the age of 40 tries to friend
me on Facebook. I
don't
like
having to sit and read a
com-
ment on my Livejournal that's
been written by my grandmom.
(About that: second worst deci-
s

.
) Right now sites are
springing up all over that cater
to t,eople over the age of 50.
Most of them are stupid. Take

figures out a way to make them

with the idea is that it means

Midrise RSC sponsors 'The Vagina Monologues' after dropped by MCCTA
By
JOSEPH GENTILE
Staff
Writer
When the playwright
Sophocles said, "Silence gives
the proper grace to women,"
almost 2,500
years
ago, he didn't
anticipate author Eve Ensler's
"The
Vagina Monologues," or
her unconventional
narrator.
Performing the day after
Valentine's Day, "The Vagina
Monologues," sponsored by
Midrise RSC, is an episodic play
that debuted in New York City
12
years ago and has been staged
in more than
120
countries. From
Feb.
1
to March
8
(International
Women's Day), "The Vagina
Monologues" are read by thou-
sands of female actors to bring
attention to the pleasures, and
plights of their sexuality.
Beginning as a solo act in
October 1996 for off-Broadway,
Ensler's first draft of the mono-
logues has been reedited each
year, bringing light to dilemmas
affecting women around the
world. In February 2004, Ensler
paired up with Jane Fonda and
Deep Stealth Productions to
direct three, brand-new mono-
logues, read by 18 male-to-
female transgender participants,
for
"LAV-Day
until the Violence
Stops" to combat transphobia,
the irrational fear of transgender
people.
To celebrate the V-Day move-
ment,
"The
Vagina Monologues"
made their V-Day debut
on
Valentine's Day in 1998, and had
the proceeds donated to women's
shelters. The
"V"
in V-Day rep-
resents
"the
Vagina, Valentine
and Victory," according
to
the
group,
in
an attempt to correlate
female empowerment with the
issue of domestic abuse.
In
2000, Ensler cited singer
Tina Turner as her inspiration in
a Random House Publishing
interview, describing Turner as
somebody
who
completely
"inhabits
their vagina."
Yet, it was not until 1998 when
Ensler
instigated
a shift in "The
Vagina Monologues" message
from rejoicing about vaginas and
femininity to protesting violence
against her gender. She also
credited her fascination with
vaginas
to
.
Random House
Publishing as resulting from
"growing up in a violent socie-
ty." In her mind,
"Women's
empowerment
is
deeply connect-
ed to their
sexuality."
However, as controversial as its
title suggests, "The Vagina
Monologues" has attracted ire
from the Network of Enlightened
Women and other agents of con-
servatism, but also from femi-
nists. Betty Dodson, a feminist
author of books about female
sexuality, criticized ''The Vagina
Monologues" on her Web site for
its superficial "anti-male" bias,
annual
event had
become
"re

,"
and forced the pro-
duction
off-campus.
Simultaneously, in March that
year, three female students from
John Jay High School in Cross
River, New York were suspended
for one day after defying their
princ
ipal
and saying
"vagina"

in
1998, and had the proceeds donated to women's shel-
ters. The "V"
in
V-Day represents "the Vagina, Valentine
and Victory," according to the group, in an attempt to cor-
relate female empowerment with the issue of domestic
abuse.
and disparaged the play as "a
blast of hatred at men and hetero-
sexuality."
Elsewhere, in 2004, 16
Catholic colleges abandoned
"The
Vagina Monologues" after
the American Society for the
Defense of Tradition, Family and
Property demonstrated. Last
year, Saint Louis University
decided against endorsing "The
Vagina Monologues," saying the
sorship, Marist College, accord-
ing to the Archdiocese of New
York,
is
considered "no longer
Catholic" for violating the
Vatican's apostolic charter, Ex
Corde Ecclesiae, issued in 1990
to mandate Catholic higher edu-
cation.
Not only are "The Vagina
Monologues" condemned by the
Catholic church, but were
described as
"offensive
to
women" and
"antithetical
to
Catholic teaching on the beauti-
ful gift of human sexuality," by
Bishop John D'Arcy from the
Diocese
of Fort Wayne
-
South
Bend, Indiana.
Former Catholic colleges,
Nazareth College and St. John
Fisher
College
from
the
Rochester, New York area, join
Marist in the distinction of being
the only three,
traditional
Catholic ca~puses to be secular-
ized in the United States.
"It
is true that several of the
monologues deal with stories of
abuse or neglect from men," said
"The Vagina Monologues" co-
director Maureen Betz, but
"these monologues however, are
first and foremost about the
strength of women."
Sophomores Betz and Stephen
Echeverri, who both directed and
produced
"The
Vagina
Monologues," resumed the play
after it had been dropped from
the Marist College
Council
on
Theatre Arts cycle.
"I thought it was too good of a
show to let go of," said Echeverri
after persuading members on the
Midrise RSC
executive
board, of
which he is Vice President, to
sponsor the event. With support
from the Department of Housing
and Residential Life and the
Lesbian, Gay, and Straight
Alliance, these organizations are
helping to supply funding for
fliers and other advertisements.
"It's a lot of responsibility, but
our passion for the show masks
any apprehension we might
feel," said Betz. There weren't
many changes that needed to be
made for this
"one-of-a-kind
script" according to
•
Betz, but
additions were made so "the
audience can feel a sense of pride
when they hear their
town
and
school spoken by the characters
of the show."
When asked about the sensitiv-
ity of "The Vagina Monologues,"
Betz asserted that the cast has
acted
"as
professionally as any
other cast I've worked with,
despite the graphic subject mat-
ter."
"We
talk about the issues at
hand with the monologues such
as orgasms, rape, vaginal mutila-
tion, child birth and other
things," Echeverri said. "Our
girls get inspired from these
monologues and it really shows."
"The V!tgina Monologues"
opens on
Feb.
15
and
16 at 8 p.m.
in the Cabaret.

Safety tips for Mari st women
Stay healthy!
By BRITTANY FIORENZA
Health Editor
There is no sense of safety that
can truly comfort girls after
news of
violence
on
or
near
their college campus.
It
is
important to realize
that
vio-
lence cannot
be
prevented;
how-
ever,
it
is
necessary to be aware
of
certain precautions
that might
lower your
chances of
being
in
a
dangerous
predicament.
A
woman who is sexually violated
is the
victim of
someone
else's
sadistic force.
A victim
of
rape,
or
any
other form of
sexual
assau
lt
is of no fault of
their
own and they did not fail to
uti-
lize
certain
precautions. What
a
woman
can
do
is be confident in
herself and aware
of her sur-
roundings,
as
well as situations
she
finds
herself
in.
The National
Women
's
Health
Information
Center,
www.womenshealth.gov,
is
described
as "the federal gov-
ernment source for
women's
health
information." Listed
on
this
website are
definitions of
sexual assault and hotlines
available and more
sources
for
information.
On
this web site there are also
several tips provided by the
National
Crime Prevention
Center.
These
tips
are
meant to
inform women of ways to
be
aware
of their
surroundings
and
cope with potentially dangerous
situations as well as daily
practices.
First mentioned
is
the necessi-
ty to
be
aware of one's
sur-
roundings, company and situa-
tions. Knowing where you are
and who you are with is impor-
tant in being fully aware
of
what
is
occurring around you.
Walking
with
confidence
evokes a sense of strength wher-
ever you may be. Along with
confidence goes assertiveness.
Recognizing your personal
space
and
enforcing a comfort-
able
distance
from others is
important. Pay attention to your
instincts.
If
you
begin
to feel
uncomfortable do not hesitate to
trust
yourself
and remove your-
self from the situation. As far as
self locking doors, do not prop
them open and leave them sub-
ject to unintended entry. As for
manually locked doors and win-
dows, keep them locked at all
times, even if you are not pres-
ent for a short period of time.
On a similar note, keep track of
your keys; do not put any infor-
mation on them that can inform
anyone of your residence
or
name.
Before unlocking
your
doors, be
sure you know who is
on
the other side. Avoid isolated
areas, an example of this being
car garages. Furthermore, when
alone vary your walking, jog-
ging/running route so that your
path
is not subject to pre-
dictability.
Be sure to
always
walk or run
on
well lit, well
traveled areas where others are
accessible
..
Drive
on
well trav-
eled roads with your doors
locked. This becomes important
especially when your
car
is at a
stop. Avoid strangers, especially
hitch
hikers.
Always have gas in
your tank and maintain your
car's functioning.
If
you do
experience car troubles, call for
help.
Other tips which will be bene-
ficial to your safety include
keeping
your
cell
phone
charged and accessible. Get
your keys ready before you
actually need to use them. Park
in well lit areas, and from a
dis-
tance check beneath your car for
clearance.; When getting into
your car, open only the door you
will be directly using and re-
lock it once you are inside. Let
others know where you are at all
times and
try
to not walk alone
if at all
possible
.
A woman who recognizes and
applies these tips is practicing
awareness of her surroundings,;
however, these tips are not a
safe guard against sexual assault
or
any other
harm
which can be
inflicted. It is crucial to under-
stand
that a victim is of no fault,
they
have
not done anything
wrong, and they have not
brought
anything upon them-
selves. Anyone who would
vio-
late a woman's personal privacy
is despicable and of the lowest
form. Although it would be
ideal to state that we can active-
ly prevent these villains, I can
only state that you can be aware.

Conference (MAAC) teams have
played significantly better on
their home floor when playing
agatnst Marist.
Marist's most recent game, a

win on the road against
Siena on Sunday, was much clos-
er than its 78-48 thrashing of
Siena at home.
The same trend applied in its
two games against Loyola.
The Red Foxes followed up a
61-59 win over the Greyhounds
in Baltimore, Md. with an 85-59

MAA C teams generally seem to

N.Y. ace
By
JUSTINE DECOTIS
Staff Writer
The two-month long saga is
over.
The speculation, the whispers,
and the "deadlines" imposed by
Hank Steinbrenner, everything
is over.
The Minnesota Twins and the
New York Mets agreed to a deal
last week to send two-time Cy
Young winner and bona fide ace
Johan Santana to the Mets in
exchange for outfielder Carlos
Gomez and pitchers Philip
Humber, Kevin Mulvey, and
,
Deolis Guerra. Santana joins a
rotation that includes John
Maine, Oliver Perez, Pedro
Martinez, and either Orlando
Hernandez or
Mike
Pelfrey.
The trade has positive ramifica-
tions all over baseball, mostly
for the two teams involved, the
Mets and Twins and the two
teams making headlines for not
making the deal, the Red Sox
and Yankees.
The benefits for the Mets are
clear; a top of the rotation
starter, probably the best in the
game who is durable and who at
the age of 28, may still have his
best years ahead of him. It has
been proved time and time
again, most recently by Josh
Beckett and the Red Sox, that in
order to make it deep into Oct. a
team needs a shut-down number
one guy, Santana is now that
man for the Mets, who have
lacked an ace for much of the
recent past.
Not since Frank
Viola won 20 games in 1990
have the Mets had a genuine ace
in his prime. Dwight Gooden, in
1985, was the last Met to win the
Cy Young Award and Santana
already has two under his belt,
not bad for a former Rule
5
Draft Pick.
Mets general manager Omar
Minaya stated this in the sim-
plest of terms, "We've been lack-
ing what we consider a true No.
1 starter. It doesn't get much
better than Johan Santana."
Santana had a sub-par 2007, by
his lofty standards, a 15 ... 13
record to go with a 3.33 ERA in
219 innings pitched. Having the
Mets playing behind him and
providing
the
offense
as
opposed to the Twins will help
his 2008 numbers.
The move to Queens is accom-
panied by a move to the
National League, putting a bat in
Santana's hand.
When compared to most pitch-
ers, Santana is a batting champi-
on; he owns a
.258
career aver-
age in 31 at-bats, all coming
from
interleague
play.
The Mets also achieve a moral
victory
with
the
deal.
The acquisition of Santana
helps to ease the pain of the
meteoric collapse by the Mets
last season that saw them miss
the playoffs.
Surprisingly, the deal did not
include outfielder Fernando
Martinez, who is regarded as the
Mets top prospect. Many people
in the baseball world are sur-
prised at the Twins willingness
to accept the Mets offer without
Martinez and their acceptance of
any Mets off er when the offers
given by the Boston Red Sox
and New York Yankees were
largely thought to be better.
At the beginning of the off-sea-
son, the Mets were not even
believed to be serious con-
tenders for Santana's services
unless they included left side of
the infield stars David Wright or
Jose Reyes, quickly deemed
untouchable by Mets manage-
ment,
and
rightly
so.
And yes, the Mets are saddled
with a big contract, the biggest
contract ever for a pitcher,
$150.75 million for seven years,
but is money ever really a prob-
lem in New York?

Marist hopes to "white out" rival Siena on ESPNU Friday
By
GREG
HRINYA
Sports Co-Editor
There will be no Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
title on the line, but much like
last year, the Red Foxes will
attempt to "white out" the Siena
Saints at home on Friday night at
Mccann.
The much anticipated rematch
of last year's overtime epic is
already sold out, and the game
will air on ESPNU at 7 p.m.
Unlike last year, however, the
Red Foxes will not be sitting in
first place in the MAAC. After
falling, 79-65, to Rider at home,
Marist lost its second consecu-
tive league match-up to Siena on
Monday, Feb. 4. The loss in the
first game of a home-and-home
series with Siena dropped Marist
into a tie for fourth place in the
MAAC with an 8-4 conference
record. Siena sits at 9-3 in the
MAAC.
Despite Ryan Schneider, David
Devezin, and Jay Gavin con-
tributing 15 points apiece, Siena
had an answer for every Marist
run, and the Saints held on fur a
76-72 win at the Times-Union
Center in Albany, N.Y.
Head Coach Matt Brady attrib.:
uted
·
Marist's struggles to poor
perimeter defense and turnovers,
two things that will need to
change for Friday night's match-
up. Siena converted seven of
their 12 three-point attempts in
its Monday night win.
"We have to bring our
turnovers down, No. 1, and we
need to be a little more offensive
-
ly efficient," Brady said. "No. 2,
and much more importantly,
we've got to do a much better job
of guarding the three-point line.
It was our No. 1 thing going into
the game; guard the three-point
line. We gave up way too many
open looks."
Point guards David Devezin
and Siena's Ronald Moore
should provide a key match-up to
watch. Devezin got the better of
Moore in the first meeting by
scoring 15 points and playing all
40
minutes.
Defensively
,
Devezin held Moore to two
points on 1-for-4 shooting.
Devezin would not be opposed
to another 40-minute outing
Friday.
"I just enjoy playing
;
so if I
could play the whole game, I
mean, I love it to tell you the
truth," Devezin said.
Devezin's p~rformance
impressed Brady, and according
to Brady, the sophomore point
guard from Texas is quickly
becoming one of the best guards
in theMAAC
.
"I think David won his match-
up
[Monday night against
Moore], and that' was one of
David's better defensive games
of the whole season," Brady said
.
"I think he's rapidly becoming a
terrific, terrific point guard. He's
learni1:1g how hard you have to
play on the defensive end and he
did that against Ronald Moore,
and he almost shut the kid out
which is hard to do. David
Devezin's as good as any point
guard in the league."
Another player that plagued the
Red Foxes on Monday night was
Siena's Alex Franklin. The oft-
injured Franklin scored Siena's
first 10 points and finished with a
game-high 20 points. Edwin
Ubiles, the Saints' leading scorer
for the season, poured in 15
points and Tay Fisher scored 14
points corning off the bench.
Fisher's three-pointer with 8:50
remaining in the game gave
Siena a 12-point lead, its largest
of the night. Marist could not
recover from the deficit.
Coach Brady added that
Marist's post-defense will need
to improve to have a chance of
stopping Alex Franklin
in
the
rematch
.
"I think he's one of the more
difficult match-ups in the league
because he's so strong and so
low' to the ground, and he can
really make shots," Brady said
regarding· Franklin. "We'll have
to do a better job with him.
"Every time [Franklin] plays
against us he seems to do a little
better. I don't wish anybody
harm, but if he sprains his ankle
in practice this week that would
be good," Brady said jokingly.
Siena returns to an atmosphere
that provided a thrilling 98-88
overtime win for Marist last sea-
son. Last year's contest marked
the final home game for five sen-
~ors, including Jared Jordan, Will
Whittington, and James Smith.
·
Coach Brady expects a high-
energy game and for the Red
Foxes to come out firing.
"l
think the atmosphere will be
tremendous," Brady said. "I
think we'll play better and we'll
play harder. You never know if
the
.
ball's going to go in for you
or not, but I'm hoping that we
have a much stronger mindset
here defensively because we just
let our guard down too often in
the last game."
Brady also expects crowd's
intensity to match that of last
year's "white out" game.
''[That atmosphere last season]
was awesome," Brady said.
"If
you knew what that atmosphere
was going to be like, you could
have scalped the tickets for a lot
of money. l think a lot of people
enjoyed being in that game. I
would expect the game will be
very close and very similar. I'm
hoping that we can
win
a two-
minute game. I think it's going to
be a two-minute game, and I
hope that we have enough in us
to go ahead and win a game like
that."
