Obama holds
lead, MIPO says
By
DAVID MIELACH
Staff Writer
With the presidential cam-
paigns of Sen.
·
Barack Obama
and Sen. John McCain are
entering their final weeks,
recent polls are starting to
show how the electoral map
may look on election night.
According to the Marist Poll
election data released on
October 2, Obama has a four
point lead over McCain, 4 7
percent to 43 percent among
registered voters and a five
point lead over likely voters
49 percent to 44 percent.
Other polls are also showing
this lead for Obama, including
the USA Today/ Gallup poll
taken on the same day, which
shows Obama leading McCain
by a five point margin, 48 per-
cent to 43 percent.
"A few things are helping to
contribute to this turnaround
by Senator Obama," said Dr.
Lee Miringoff, director of the
Marist
Poll
for
Public
Opinion
.
"Before
the
Republican
Convention
Obama was leading, but after
the convention, McCain got a
boost. Now the lead seems to
be going back to what it was
before the convention boost."
A changing electoral map is
also reflecting the lead in the
polls.
"McCain is moving from
offense to defense," said

The joke's on us
The Onion
editor addresses election
By
ANDREW OVERTON
News Editor
The editor of
The Onion,
one
of the most popular "fake
news" organizations in the
country, is not your typical
journalist. He is not your typi-
cal comedian either. Nothing
is off limits to Joe Randazzo,
not even mentally disabled
children.
"I don't really think that
baby has Down Syndrome,"
Randazzo said of vice presi-
dential candidate, Gov. Sarah
Palin's child. "I have Down
Syndrome."
Last week in the Nelly
Golleti Theatre, Randazzo and
Onion
Staff Writer, John
Harris shared the "history" of
The Onion,
poked
fun
at presi-
dential candidates, and took
questions from Marist students
on the difficulties of creating
successful journalistic satire.
Both men distinguished
themselves from other fake
news outlets, since the paper
doesn't generate jokes from
the 24-hour news cycle, like
TV broadcasts such as "The
Daily
Show
with
John
Stewart" and "The Colbert
Report.
"
"We try to find a joke that
will last. We try to comment
on the commenting," Harris
said.
Randazzo and Harris flicked
through a slideshow of infa-
mous
Onion·
headlines like:
"Women: Why Don't They
Lose Some Weight," "Generic
Candycom Will Give You
AIDS," and more recently
"Black Guy Asks Nation for
Change."
The historic nature of the
presidential election has pro-
vided
The Onion
with a wealth
of fresh material to employ
their satire.
After joking that Republican
Sen.
·
John McCain was near
death, Harris and Randazzo
shared a laugh over the possi-
bility of a Sarah Palin presi-
dency.
"Those couple weeks
before everybody dies would
just be f.-ing crazy," Harris
said.

fail
swiping 101
By TYLER THURSTON
... funnier than you.
10/1 - Leo Hall
Leo leads off the October
adventure with an authorized
entry attempt in the wee hours
of the morning, specifically
around
3
a.m., when most stu-
dents should be off peacefully
dreaming
sleeping
pill-
induced dreams. Security, of
course, quickly put a stop to
this attempt, blocking the stu-
dent from what
I
can only
assume would be a sloppy
hookup. They were probably
just going to play Scrabble;
I
don't know why everyone
assumes bringing someone
back to· their room at 3 a.m.
has to lead to unwholesome
activity. Actually, screw it,
I
think everyone
is
pretty grate-
ful that only one entry was
attempted
that night. Oh, I
went there. You didn't, obvi-
ously, but I did.
10/1
-
Champagnat
Another attempted entry was
brought to a screeching halt,
this time with security notic-
ing that in some desperate
attempt of deception, the ID
being used did not belong to
the champion swiper (Who
knew swiper wasn't a word?
What else am
I supposed to
say? "One who swipes?" It's a
swiper, people. Get on that
Oxford). Ok, but back to my
point. Oh yeah, it's amazing
this trickery dido 't work. I
mean, you probably covered
the face with your thumb and
everything. And if security
somehow saw through your
finger-moving maneuver, you
matched the hair color. No big
deal. Seriously, next time just
throw the card and
run.
You'd
probably have a better shot.
You're still not getting in, but
at least this time you can go
down running - literally.
10/3 - Midrise
Apparently, unaware of the
time, a cunning student was
caught trying to sneak alcohol
into Midrise at exactly 3:05
p.m.. Five minutes. Five
freaking minutes. Security
arrives at 3, and you decide to
wait until 5 minutes after they
get there to bring your booze
in? When smuggling in alco-
hol, it's usually best to do it
before security gets there, so
you know, no one is there.
Literally, no one is there.
Don't wait until someone is
posted at the desk to come
waltzing in with your back-
pack full of clanking cans. Do
not stop to
talk
to anyone, do
not make eye contact, literally
grab it and make a break for
it.
Preferably a break before 3
p.m., but there's so only much
that can be asked of you.
10/4 -Townhouses
Now we can add grilled
cheese to the ever-growing list
of foods Marist just cannot
seem to figure out
.
how to
make, with a fire alarm echo-
ing throughout the Townhouse
area as a result of some burnt
cheese.
Grilled
cheese?
Seriously? Bread, cheese,
maybe some butter if that's
what you 're feeling, throw on
some extras if they catch your
style;
and grill: This isn't
lamo, it's not duck - its name
accurately sums up exactly
what it is. First you're grilling
your dairy delicacy, then
you're being grilled as to why
you would want to harm your
housemates, and how you
made it this far. Oh, see what I
did there? Pun intended, thank
you.
l 0/5 - Lowell Thomas
Lowell Thomas finally gets
a
chance to be part of the Mari st
melee, but the action was not
in the creepy, dark and
depressing basement, where
the dripping water and lack of
:windows make me feel like a
steerage passenger on the
Titanic, and we all know how
that went. Instead, the acts
occurred outside, with a park-
-mg lot car accident turning
into a hit-and-run. Thankfully,
an eagle-eye witness caught
the plate number of the
careening car, with the driver
being found later on campus.
So really, this was just like the
basement, except instead of
my hopes and dreams crash-
ing, it was just two
vehicles.
Better or worse? That's up for
you to decide. I'm going to go
with better. Seriously, that
place freaks me out. There's
no air.
&Now
I know what
Jordin Sparks and Chris
Brown we're talking about.
10/5 - Marian Hall
One unauthorized guest left
the hard way, in the back of a
police car, following an arrest
after refusing to leave on secu-
rity's request. Students are
reminded that usually if
you're asked to leave by mul-
tiple people, it's probably a
good idea to take off. You may
not like it, you may kick and
scream until you get your way,
you may never be allowed
back in Poughkeepsie again.
But generally, it's best to leave
with your head held high than
with it being lowered into the
back of a vehicle. And really,
Poughkeepsie isn't that spe-
cial of a place anyway
-
there
are a lot of sights to see, places
to explore elsewhere. Like
jail.
Public Service Announcement
Ladies ~nd gentlemen, and
everyone in between in this
confusing
tinie,
security
recently conducted a lock-it-
or-lose-it program, with stu-
dents being warned against
crimes of opportunity. Crimes
of opportunity, for the unin-
formed, are when your door is
propped open, with your
lap-
top, cell phone, iPod, wallet,
and presumably other valu-
ables being left all in the con-
venient burglary location of
your room. Miraculously, it
might occur to someone to
maybe, you know, to swipe
them all and return home with
a suitcase full of your stuff.
See, they would be a
swiper
(still not a word? Damnit
Webster). But in other words,
lock it up. Or someone will
take
it.
End of story.
Public Service Announcement
God, I'm on a roll with these
things. Not going to lie, I'm
kind of like Bono. Except I
don't have an Irish
accent,
huge sunglasses, and I don't
think everyday is a beautiful
day. But other than that, twins.
Students are also reminded
that having a fake ID is a Class
D felony. So if sec~ty finds
your wallet, and somehow you
have one license in front of
another, they will confiscate
it,
or the cops will, depending on
the situation.
Students are also
reminded that in order to find
a job post-Marist, you need to
list your felony convictions on
applications and
interviews.
So really, it's not going to go
over so well when your fake is
found. Think about it, maybe
cut it out, and maybe post
it
on
your wall. Maybe put
it
on the
mirror, next to the post-it
reminding you that you are a
winner. And you're right, you
are. Look at you go.

"Fake news~' organization satirizes election
Randazzo maintained that
The Onion
doesn't have a
political agenda.
"We're not partisan, per se,
but we do have an aversion to
stupidity," Randazzo said,
specifically mentioning Rudy
GiulianFs Republican pri-
mary campaign, which he
said emphasized Giuliani's
response to 9/11.
"I think we do have some-
what of a moral compass,"
Harris said later. "We don't
just attack people."
Randazzo said he finds it
hard to make fun of Obama
due to his limited public
gaffs.
"We end up making a lot of
black guy jokes," he said.
One student had mixed
thoughts on the one track
approach to satire directed at
Obama.
"Reducing
Barack Obama
to black jokes was funny, but
it
didn't allow us to fully
draw on any of the absurdity
regarding this election," jun-
ior Joe Walsh said.
"It

both refreshing and unfulfill-
ing."
The Iraq War is frequently
satirized
in The Onion, but
according to Harris, they
have used discretion and cut
stories in the past because
people's lives are at stake.
According to Harris, dealing
with the American troops can
be tough. The Onion receives
hate mail on a daily basis
from readers who believe that
a particular story crosses the
line.
At the end of the day, how-
ever, the goal of The Onion is
to
make readers
laugh,
Randazzo said.
"I think it would be a mis-
take to overestimate the
impact of satire. It's ultimate-
ly funny," he said.
The roughly 40 students in
attendance seemed to enjoy
the slideshow presentation.
"I thought it was great,"
Walsh said. "The presenters
let a lot of their work speak
for itself and it made me want
to visit their website."

those states he will not

Stephanopoulos also said
that Obama is campaigning
in Indiana and Virginia
-
which have been Republican
since 1964
-
and North
Carolina, which has voted
Republican since 1976. In
the past week, McCain has
also pulled out of Michigan
and will not be campaigning
in that state anymore.
These four states have a
combined total of 56 elec-
toral votes. These will play
a large part in helping the
presidential nominee get the
270 electoral votes needed to
become president.
The electoral map, howev-
er, is not only changing for
Obama. McCain has recently
been campaigning in four
states that were won by
Senator John Kerry in the
2004
election
including
Minnesota, New Hampshire,
Wisconsin,
and
Pennsylvania.
These four
states' combined total of 45
electoral votes could also
play a large part in helping
McCain gain the needed 270
electoral votes.
Marist students - many of
whom are first-time voters -
have noticed the recent
polls.
"As recent pol~s are show-
ing a change I believe the
explanation is simple as to
why," said Mark Plage, a
first time voter. "I am an
independent voter and in the
past week I have made up
my mind as to
who
I am vot-
ing for. I am sure that this is
the case with many other
undecided voters."
Others, however, are offer-

Williams, Espina, and eight
other students worked at area
community service centers,
interacting with the kids and
teaching computer literacy

bility classes.
"We were immersed in
Mexican culture-it was a
really neat experience to put
aside our scripts and view-
points aside and connect with
people," said Espina, "They
don't have the things that we
take for granted so we real-
ized what matters:
family,
and necessities, like food."
Both Furlano and Espina
said they are impressed with
Jamie's own service and
sense of social responsibility.
"With Jamie, there is this
'no-judge zone' - she is above
the fray," said Furlano, "She
is a very special person-c:-no
job is too big or too little. She
is the instrument that made
all this possible."
"Jamie is a great friend and
supporter," said Espina. "She
always tries to let you realize
things on your own and lets
you understand what self dis-
covery is about. She's a moti-
vational person, very busy,
very independent. She is self-

In the Community Service
program, now run by Katie
Sullivan, Marist students
contribute to area programs
such as Astor Home for

Good

as area schools.
"As a person that takes care

Williams said she is excited

Coping with your long-distance love
BY CLARE LANGAN
Staff Writer
You are now officially more
than a month into the school
year, congrats! Hopefully you
have transitioned well into
college life. You have mas-
tered the art of multi-tasking,
schlepped to your 8a.m. class-
es and found
"your
table" in
the dining hall.
If
you came to
school in a
relationship,
how-.
ever,
the transition might still
be in progress. Many students
who go away to school leave
behind more than just their
homes. They are leaving
boyfriends and girlfriends
who may live far away.
Whether you have been with
that person for two months or
two years, long-distance rela-
tionships can be one of the
biggest challenges a college
student will face. Before you
lose hope, I have some ideas
for how to tackle the distance
dilemma and
keep things
between you and your honey
going strong.
Can ·you hear me now?
Good.
In an ideal world, you would
be able to visit your boyfriend
or
girlfriend
on a regular basis.
However, conflicting sched-
ules, not having a car and the
sheer distance between you
may prevent visits from hap-
pening. You have the whole

why not expand your lines of

users for free! All you need is
a webcam and a microphone.
Instead of waiting by the
phone or computer to hear
from your guy ( or girl), set up
times when you will talk.

whole lot cheaper!
On the complete opposite

trum,
why not try writing let-

activities
and the
·
general busyness that
accompanies freshmen year, it
can be hard to stay connected
to your
significant
other. If
that person is also at college
,
chances are they are just as
busy. According to senior
Alyssa Miller, it is important
to keep in mind that you are
"
...
both going through the
same thing." Miller has been
in a long-distance relationship
for ahnost 4 years. Her biggest
piece of advice for freshmen?
" ...
understand that it is going
to be different than it was
when you were home ... you
might have to rely on phone
calls and visits once a month.
It takes some time but you will
get used to it." Maybe absence

For some couples,
being away from one
another can bring up
issues
that were never
a problem when they
lived close by. In your
first
year of college,
you will meet new
people,
have
new
experiences
and grow
personally. These life
changes
will certainly
affect your relation-
ship in some way.

pessimists will say that stay-
ing in this type of relationship
is not a good idea for college
freshmen, others argue that it
is possible, and they can even
strengthen your bond. Senior
Tony Thurn knows first hand
what it takes to stay commit-
ted to his long-distance girl-
friend, while still enjoying his
time at
school.
"If
you want it
to work out, it will, but you
can't let it hold you back from
doing things that you want to."
Long-distance relationships
take a lot of patience and hard
work, but with some time you
cannot only survive, but
thrive.

"morns" of the floor. Before
students even get to college,
they usually have a laundry
list of ideas that will he Ip them
1
avoid their RA. But how much
power does your RA really
have? What things are they
actually responsible for?
Senior Michael Bartuska, the
fifth floor RA in Midrise,
answered some of these diffi-
cult
questions
for
us.
Bartuskal has been an RA
since the spring of his sopho-
more year. When asked why
he became an RA, he said it
was to work on his leadership
skills.
"I was never a leader in high
school," he &aid. "My sister
was an RA, so I got to see
what it was like through her. I
figured I should work on my
leadership skills for my first
real job." But in addition to
requiring leadership, the job of
Resident Assistant can be pret-
ty time consuming. The RA is
responsible for making all
your door tags, decorating the
bulletin boards, putting on
programs, being at office
hours, dealing with locked out
residents and roommates who
hate each other, as well as the
infamous "being on duty."
Having both freshman and
upperclassmen residents has
helped Bartuska} experience
firsthand the extreme differ-
ence between the two groups.
"First of all," he said, "the
upperclassmen's parents are
way less involved. Freshmen
parents will ask a million
questions and will be really
concerned about everything.
Upperclassmen will barely
ever bring their parents
around, especially to meet
their RA."
As for the students, Bartuska
said no upperclassmen come
to programs. "Freshmen come
out to meet people and social-
ize," he admits, "but my soph-
omores just stay in their suites
all the time. It's kind of sad."
You probably know your
rights at home: no one can
break into your home and look
through all your stuff. In fact,
this rule is the same at all pub-
lic universities. But since
Marist is a private school, the
playing field changes.
"If
I walk into a room that
my residents are drinking in,"
Bartuska said, "I have to take
their IDs and put all the alco-
hol in the middle of the room.
They don't have to open their
fridge for me, but they do for
security so it is best if they just
cooperate. After that, it is all
up to the judicial system."
But, Bartuska said, "I'm not
out to get my residents. I want
them to see me as a friend but
an enforcer of policies."
The take home message is
this: what you do off campus
is your responsibility, but
don't be stupid about it. "I just
need to make sure my resi-
dents are safe.
If
they come in
falling over and unable to
swipe in, then they're not
being safe," Michael says.
"If
I have to get someone in trou-
ble," he adds, "I don't want to
be seen as a dictator. I'm a col-
lege student who has a job,

Five ways to transform your dorm room from eco-bleak to eco-chic
BY NICOLE MARCOTTE
Circle Contributor
Flooded with empty water
bottles, cluttered with used
paper, muddled with piles of
snack wrappers; does this
describe your dorm room?
If
so, it is time for change.
This change is simple: go
green. Going green is more
than a fad, it is a lifestyle.
College allows students to
have more responsibilities and
more freedom, thus allowing
students to adopt completely
new lifestyles. Why not make
these lifestyles green? The fol-
lowing are the top five tips on
how to transform your dorm
room lifestyle from eco-bleak
to eco-chic.
Stay Away
from Away
Messages
It may be tempting to keep
your computer on when you
leave your room, but fighting
this temptation will be the best
thing for you and the environ-
ment. Although you may want
to keep your away message up
on AIM so that everyone can
tell you how much they miss
you when you are in class, it is
not worth it. Simply shut
down your computer when
you are not using it; this way,
you are saving energy that can
be used elsewhere. Your
friends will understand that
you are making the best
choice for the environment.
Guide Your Paper in a New
Direction
We all know what it feels
like to
try
to write that essay
where every sentence you
write just doesn't flow; sever-
al sheets of paper later, you
finally find the words that you
were searching for. The use-
less pieces of paper often find
.
their way to the trash can.
However, you can guide
your used paper in a new
direction: to the recycling bin.
If
you do not want to go as far
as to set up your own recy-
cling bin in your dorm room,
feel free to use the designated
recycling bins around campus.
When you are walking to class
or going to grab something to
eat, take your papers with you
and drop them off in the near-
est recycling bin along the
way.
Remember, Sunlight is the
Best Light
If
you are the type of person
who needs to have all the
lights on while you work in
your dorm, I would like to
introduce you to something
new: sunlight. During the day,
refrain from turning the lights
on in your dorm room.
It
is
easy, just pull back the cur-
tains and let the sun shine in.
However, once the sun does
not pro

see your work, feel free to tum
on the lights. But don't forget,
when you leave the room, tum
off all lights. Saving the envi-
ronment is as easy as a flick of
a switch.
Don't Keep
Water All
"Bottled Up"
In college, it is important to
stay hydrated. From walking
to class, to going to the gym,
to playing in an intense game
of ultimate frisbee, water
becomes your best friend.
However refrain from stock-
ing your dorm fridge with
numerous
water
bottles;
instead, buy a water filter. You
can then filter water from the
sink and drink pure water
from your own reusable water
bottle. By doing this, you stay
hydrated without wasting
plastic.
Snack Sparingly
A dorm room is a common
place for students to get the
munchies. To combat these
munchies most students have
a designated storage bin
packed to the brim with delec-
table snack foods. However,
accompanying these various
snack foods are paper and
plastic wrappers. In order to
avoid wasting this access
packaging, avoid buying sin-
gle serving packs of food.
Instead,
try
to buy one large
bag of food and make your
own single serving packs.
Take a small plastic bag and
fill it with whatever snack
food you desire; once you
have finished eating your sin-
gle serving, wash out the bag
and reuse it for your next per-
sonal portion. By doing this,
you are ultimately saving
food, money and the environ-
ment.

Economic Hardship is for the People, By the People
By FRANCIS DIGLIO
Contributing Writer
Unless you live in a
cave, it should be apparent
that we are currently going
through an economic hard-
ship. The DOW, a major
stock market, continues to
drop just like the approval
rating of Congress. The
$700 billion bail-out plan is
working as well for the
economy as rehab for Amy
Winehouse. People are los-
ing their houses left and
right because of bad mort-
gages and what does every-
one want to do? Blame the

doing it, a good amount of
the nation. But I am here to
let the people know the
truth. It is not entireyl the
government's
fault
the
economy is doing poorly, it
is mostly actually, ours ..
The crash started with a
subprime mortgage crisis
,which is not the govern-
ment's fault. The reasons for
such a mortgage crisis
began with many people
signing on for a mortgage
that they could not pay,
which resulted in the buying
and selling of the loans that
ultimately could not get
paid off. This was aided by
the idiocy of the banks for

giving out these loans which debt so high that they had no
led to people entering into other choice but to declare
bankruptcy. As for the bail-
out, the intentions behind it
make sense as far as helping
the economy goes. As far as
an idea, however, it is a very
poor one. Bailing out the
banks sets an awful prece-
dent for the future. The
banks are to blame for this
crisis since they were not
responsible in doing their
homework. As a result, they
gave out high-risk loans that
did not pay off in the end.
The bail-out is essentially
telling the banks, "It's okay
that you messed up: the
government is here to fix
everything." Is this the

Sen. Barack Obama: The stand-alone candidate?
By
DANIEL PEARLE$
Contributing Writer
On November 4, millions
of Americans will go to the
polls to cast their vote for
the next President of the
United States. The majority
of voters will pull the lever
for either the GOP nominee,
John
McCain,
or
the
Democratic
nominee,
Barack Obama. In other
words,
Americans
will
make a choice about which
candidate best represents
their views and values.
What many people know
but few will admit, howev-
er, is that this election is
only about one candidate,
and that is Barack Obama.
Voters in this election can be
broken down into two cate-
gories: those voting for
Obama and those voting
against
him.
The latter are not so much
voting for McCain as they
are voting against Obama.

most part, these people have

the other hand, there are
conservatives, moderates
and even some liberals who
do want to see the most lib-
eral senator in the country
become the leader of the
Free World. They may not
agree with McCain on all or
even most of the issues, but
the horrifying prospect of
electing somebody as far to
the left as Obama will moti-
vate them to get out and
vote on Election Day. It is
no secret that McCain is not
extremely popular with the
conservative base of the
party, so the McCain cam-
paign is banking on the anti-
Obama group to win him
the election.In a tough year
for Republicans, McCain
has held his own, staying
within striking distance of

Comics bring laughter

The media covering the
campaigns
of Senators
Barack Obama and John
McCain has given the two a
super-star level of attention.
Going hand in hand with
this attention is the mockery
from programs such as "

The

that begs to be asked is: are
these shows taking comedy
too far and sending out the
wrong messages to voters?
For most students, these
shows are a staple for keep-
ing up with the news. It's a
nerve-racking thought that
fake and mock news pro-
grams are where most stu-
dents are getting informa-
tion. Several real news

before the next piece of

An
article appeared in The
New
York
Times
by
Michiko Kakutani in the
middle of August that docu-
mented the growth of "The
Daily Show" as a cultural
and political power.
The article stated that
"when Fox, MSNBC and
CNN routinely mix news
and
entertainment. . .it's
been 'The Daily Show' that
has tenaciously tracked big,
'super depressing' issues
like the cherry-picking of
prewar intelligence, the
politicization
of
the
Department of Justice and
the efforts of the Bush
White House to augment its
executive power."
It's good that someone's
tracking the real news and
pressing the issues people
should be concerned with,
Fro1n
Page 6
but it's possible that it's
pressing the wrong buttons.
The news from "The Daily
Show," or "The Colbert
Report," is always the target
of a joke before it is present-
ed as fact.
The article from The New
York Times went on to
explain how Mr. Stewart
knows that he should first be
seen as entertainment, and
not a source to get news
from. Kakutani asserts that
for "all its eviscerations of
the administration, 'The
Daily Show' is animated not
by partisanship but by a
deep mistrust of all ideolo-
gy."
If this "deep mistrust of all
ideology''. is what the show
is driven by, doesn't it seem
obvious that those very sen-
timents would be passed
onto its viewers?
Dr. Lynn Eckert, Associate
Professor and Chair of
Political Science at Marist,
agreed that comic news
shows definitely contribute
to disinterest in politics
among college students.
"There's been a history of
entertainers mocking the
news,
but it certainly
shouldn't be the only news
that people pay attention
to,"
Dr.
Eckert said. "There
should be a limit to the sar-
casm and cracking jokes,
there is a time when things
need to be taken seriously."
In conjunction with how
"The Daily Show" is driven
by a mistrust of all ideology,
Dr. Eckert explained that
"today's political parties are
relatively
weak ... parties
should bring participants in,
instead we're seeing a rise
in independent voters."
Obviously, the bloviating
that occurs on today's news
shows are no help in deliv-
ering the raw facts to the
Election focus centers around Obama
those voting against Obama,
those voting for him can be
divided into subgroups. One
of these groups is the com-
mitted far left. This includes
the moveon.org crowd and
organizations
such
as
Planned Parenthood and the
ACLU. Because he holds
the most liberal voting
record in the Senate, Obama
was their choice from the
beginning. Even these peo-
ple, however, must be a lit-
tle surprised that Democrats
are represented by one of
the most.liberal and unqual-
ified candidates to gain a
major party's nomination in
history.
The
fact
that
Obama 's running mate, Sen.
Joe Biden had the third most
liberal voting record in 2007
only adds to their cause.
Although it is vocal and has
possession of some power
within Democratic Party,
the far left has little influ-
ence or respect among the
majority of Americans.
Republicans, Independents
and traditional Democrats
do not fall into this category.
Instead, many of them sup-
port Obama's promise of
"change"
and basically
agree with many of his
views. This is why Obama
has secured the support of
the base of the Democratic
Party while appealing to

The point is that this elec-

McCain, or ~publicans, or
even Democrats for that
matter. McCain was simply
the last man standing in one
of the tightest primary sea-
sons in recent history, and
he is not overly popular with
the base of the Republican

mary. He is the candidate
that

Economic Crisis: The fault of

message we should be
sending if we are a capi-
talistic society? No.
Advocates of the bill
argue that if not passed,
the economy would go into
a further decline. My argu-
ment is this. If we bail out
now, what is to stop people
from taking high financial
risks in the future? After all,
the government will fix it in
the end. Risks are necessary
in the economy, but not
risks that will ultimately
blow up in one's face.
These risks do nothing but
hurt the economy, as we
have seen in recent months.
The bailout sends a mes-
sage that these risks can be
made for consumers' short
term wealth, even though it
spells disaster for the econ-
omy in the long run. Both
banks and people need to
learn what they did wrong
here, and the bailout almost
makes their mistakse incon-
sequential, because they are
being fixed anyway.
As for what the govern-
ment could have done dif-
ferently, there isn't much.
In the last two years or so,
the government had no right
to step in and say that peo-
ple needed to stop taking
out second mortgages or
investors needed to stop
buying and selling loans.
However, the government
is not completely absolved
of all blame. Several of
their policies were factors
in the demise of the econo-
my as well. One of these
poilicies is the Community
Reinvestment Act, which
pushed banks to meet the
needs of all borrowers even
in low-income neighbor-
hoods, which in turn led to
loaning money to those who
couldn't pay it back.
In the future, it is best if
people learn from their mis-
takes, so the bailout is send-
ing a bad message. The
government also needs to
adjust their policies appro-
priately, so they don't
encourage banks to give out
bad loans. As I stated last
week, the only way the
economy will return to the
level it reached in the last
seven years is through the
people, not the government.

Chapter of Students for Barack Obama mobilizes
BY JOSEPH GENTILE
Election Editor
Before they hit the cam-
paign trail on Saturday,
October
11, in Pennsylvania,
volunteers for Students for
Barack Obama will hit the
sidewalks of campus this
Sunday ringing doorbells
and encouraging students
to register to vote. Just as
importantly, with the absen-
tee ballot request deadline
about to elapse at state elec-
tion boards throughout the
Northeast, volunteers also
asked if residents had their
forms together if they
intend to vote in their local
elections.
Starting on the east side
of campus, a team of eight
volunteers canvassed the
Lower West Cedar, Upper
West Cedar and Fulton dor-
mitories to help raise aware-
ness about approaching elec-
tion deadlines. Within an
hour, the team had reached
more than
3-0 students
inter-ested in getting the
forms about voter registration,
absentee ballot requests, or
additional information about
Sen. Barack Obama, the
Democratic presidential can-
didate, sent to their e-mails or
MSC mailboxes.
"I was surprised at how
many people seemed gen-
uinely interested in the
election and had all of their
paperwork in order to vote,"
said Liz Gray, a junior and
Students for Barack Obama
volunteer.
"It
made me
happy that in general peo-
ple are enthusiastic about
this election!"
Having been a supporter
of Obama from her fresh-
man year, Gray said she
felt excited when she heard
that a Marist chapter of
Students for Barack Obama
began to form on campus.
Hoping to end the stereo-
type that all college stu-
dents are "lazy or care-
less," Gray believes that a
high turnout of young vot-
ers on Election Day might
begin to change opinions.
"It
is really important for
them to vote because every
vote counts and as citizens
it is our duty to stay
informed and participate,"
Gray said.
"I
had an opportunity to
see Obama speak about a
year ago," said Alison
Novak, a junior and Obama
supporter, after she and
Gray canvassed Lower West
Cedar. "I really wanted to
do something to support
his efforts this election and
I thought this would be a
great way to get involved
here on campus."
Even though she helped
with 4-H sponsored events
for Rep. John Larson, D-
Conn., and Sen. Chris
Dodd,
D-Conn., Novak
admits to not having "real-
ly worked on any political
campaigns before." Yet,
Novak is optimistic that
beyond Election Day, the
Students for Barack Obama
group might expand into a
Marist Collegt! Democr~ts
organization.
"Before the start of
this election season, I
was pretty undecided,"
Novak admits. "However,
after learning about the
different candidates, I have
clearly made my choice for
Barack Obama. I think we
have seen what eight years
ofa failed R
'
epublican
presidency can do to a nation."
Senior Christina Tello,
the
group's
organizer,
interned with the Obama
campaign this summer in
New Jersey, "which con-
sisted of training and work
as a community organizer-
registering
voters
and
reaching out to the people
of my county." Tello also
managed
to
attend
the
Democratic
National
Conventions last August to
see Sen. Obama accept the
Democratic Party's presi-
dential nomination.
"I love that his campaign
is made up of normal peo-
ple who do whatever they
can
because
they
are
inspired," Tello reflected.
"We have over two hundred
people in the Facebook group
and currently twenty-five
active members."
Keeping its members
informed, Tello conducts
all of her communication
through the Students for
Barack Obama group on
the Facebook social-net-
working website, and has
used it as a tool to recruit
Obama supporters and adver-
tise events. In its immediate
future, the group is petition-
ing its members to accom-
pany them in Pennsylvania
for an additional trip on
November
I - three days
before the general election.
Meetings of Students for
Barack Obama are held
every Wednesday at 9:30
p.m. in the small cafeteria,
by the stairs leading to the
mailroom. Those interested
can also join the Facebook
group to get all of the lat-
est updates on their future
activities before Election
Day.
Stem cell research splits presidential debate
By DAVID MIELACH
Staff Writer
In this year's election both
Senator John McCain and
Senator Barack Obama have
talked abollt hope for America
and change now, but few
issues are fueled by such
promise as by those in the
medical community with stem
cell research. However, stem
cell research has started a
debate over the morality ver-
sus the potential of research-
ing embryonic stem cells.
"Stem cells have the ability
to access much more of this
information
than

become anything," said Dr.

In this year's election, other
issues have taken the fore-
front
-
pushing stem cell
research to the background
until Senator Joe Biden, the
Democratic vice presidential
nominee, made a comment
criticizing the Republican
Party for their stance on stem
cell research.
"I hear all this talk about
how the Republicans are
going to work in dealing with
parents, the joy and the diffi-
culty of raising a child who
has a developmental disabili-
ty, who were born with a
birth defect," said Biden in a
September campaign stop in
Columbia, South Carolina.
"Well, guess what folks? If
you care about it, why don't
you
support
stem-cell
research?"
This statement has angered
many Republicans who con-
sider it unprofessional, but
also has called into question
the presidential candidates'
stances on this issue.
Unlike many other
Republicans who do not sup-
port stem cell research,
McCain
does.
In
fact,
President George W. Bush
used his first veto in 2005 to
eliminate the Stem Cell
Research Enhancement Act
which would have allowed
for more funding of research.
McCain supports research-
ing embryonic stem cells
when the embryos would be
otherwise discarded. The only
time when McCain does not
support stem cells is when
they must be created for
research.
McCain has voted in support
of three crucial stem cell
congressional bills including

"My hope, and the hope of

the means to explore the uses
of embryonic stem cells so
that we can begin to turn the
tide on the devastating dis-
eases affecting our nation and
the world," said Obama in a
press release from April
2007.
The support for stem cell
research, however, is not
shared by all who feel that
the moral implication of stem
cells needs to be considered.
"A lot hinges on it. HESC
(Human Embryonic Stem
Cell) research has the poten-
tial to save untold lives and
relieve all kinds of suffering
- maybe even to make people
immortal.
Not doing the
research eliminates that pos-
sibility," said Dr. Henry
Pratt, assistant professor of
ethics at Marist College. "On
the other hand, if embryonic
stem cells are actually peo-
ple, then doing the research,
on the face of it, is immoral.
So the stakes are high either

MCCTA
is '~Seconds from Broadway"
See what
MCCTA
has in
store for
this semester
By
AMY WHEELER
Asst. Features Editor
The Marist College Council
on Theater Arts (MCCTA) has
a challenging and exciting
season ahead, continuing this
weekend with Neil Simon's
"45 Seconds from Broadway."
Directed by MCCTA alum
Jim Steinmeyer, the show
opens Thursday, Oct. 9 at 8
p.m. You can also see it
Friday, Oct. 10 and Saturday,
Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. or Sunday,
Oct. 12 at 2 p.m.
"I am excited that we have
had the opportunity to work
with Jim Steinmeyer on '45
Seconds from Broadway',"
said
Amy
Kate
Byrne,
MCCTA President. "He is a
true teacher and has gained the
respect of everyone who is
working with him."
Matt Pagliaro, stage manag-
er of the show, also felt that
Steinmeyer is an asset to the
production.
"He is great to work
with,
Both from an actor's stand-
point and from a production
standpoint," Pagliaro
.
said.
"Not only does he have a great
vision for the show, but he's
also open to suggestions on
how to make things work bet-
ter.
"He actively shows a vested
interest in helping the actors
make the most of their parts,
and his enthusiasm for the
show is very contagious."
Pagliaro is also impressed
with
"45"'s
cast,
which
includes
Vinnie
Pagano,
Storm
Heitman,
Marc
Costanzo, Justin Santore,
Colin Rand, Ryan Houlihan,
Kate Costello, Hillary Sterling,
Stephanie
McDonald, Adrienne
Sabilia, Emily Callahan and
Samantha Tobia.
"We've been rehearsing for
one week now, but to look at
this cast, you'd swear it was
more," Pagliaro said.
The three freshmen of the
cast - Heitman, Callahan and
Tobia - have shown their ded-
ication along with the rest of
the cast.
"The cast needed to have
their lines memorized in about
ten days," Pagliaro said.
"EIIlily [Callahan] set about
memorizing hers in two. All
three were eager to dive right
in, and the results have been
great."
"45
Seconds from
Broadway" is both touching
and funny, which is why
Pagliaro thinks it has some-
thing for everyone. '"It's hilari-
ous,"· he said. "Neil Simon
also wrote some very touching
scenes."
The entire play takes place in
a small coffee shop on 46th
Street in New York City and
follows characters whose lives
intertwine.
"I
would encourage every-
one to see this show. We've
only been rehearsing for a
week, but we've already
~mr,lished
so
much,"
Pagliaro said.
For their next endeavor,
MCCTA will be co-hosting a
fundraiser,
"Maris(s
Got
Talent," with the theater hon-
orary society, Alpha Psi
Omega, in November. The
final show of the fall semester
will be the "HuMarist Big
Show" in December.
They have even more
planned for the spring, includ-
ing another fundraiser, "Match
Game" in February, the musi-
cal "Urinetown" in March,
Shakespeare's "As You Like
It" in April, and a festival of
staged readings of student
written plays.
MCCTA started off their fall
season on Sept. 20 with the
dinner theater production of
"Murder Me Always." The
show sold out.
"I
can't pick a show that
I
am
most excited about because I
can't wait to work on all of
them," Byrne said. "Working

cated members

Walk this way to music-inspired fashion
By
KATE MCGANN
Circle Contributor
Have you ever gone to a rock
show and noticed what your
fellow concert-goers were
wearing? Lots of Converse
Chuck Taylors and skulls and
crossbones, right?
Music and fashion are essen-
tially synonymous. Whether
it's the song lyrics, music
videos, or album art, what we
hear in our headphones is usu-
ally reflected in our fashion
choices in some way.
Band merchandise is the
most common example of
music and fashion intersect-
ing. It's the most straightfor-
ward way of extending what's
on your iPod to what you put
on in the morning. Of course,
it goes much deeper than just a
shirt; you're supporting your
favorite band and expressing
your passion without saying a
thing.
Music works in the same
way: you don't need lyrics to
tell a story, just like you can
tell the world who you are
simply by getting dressed.
Music compliments our atti-
tudes, and our fashion choices
compliment them as well.
Ta~e rock music, for example.

1960s-era punk

Punk music was

offensiveness in
its anti-establish-

Vivienne Westwood, a famous
fashion designer who helped
bring about the punk revolu-
tion, used to go to shows
wearing Nazi symbols, not
because she supported their
beliefs, but because it was in
the spirit of that deliberate
offensiveness and rebellion.
The shock value of fashion
propelled the movement for-
ward along with the music
During the climax of the
punk movement, Westwood's
clothing store, Sex, sold T-
shirts with inverted crosses
and swastikas, the most
famous being her "Destroy"
shirt. Her store provided a safe
haven for punks and punk
fashion (or anti-fashion), and
we find proof of this in the fact
that the Sex Pistols famously
auditioned Johnny Rotten in
Westwood's store.
Westwood is proof of the
fashion and music relation-
ship. Even her current collec-
tions take on some influence
from rock 'n' roll, specifically
her spring 2009 runway show,
which included models carry-
ing guitars in deconstructed
masterpieces that combined
the essence of punk with a
femininity that proves punk
didn't die with Sid.

Fashion and mµsic will
always be connected. The two
most creative industries come
together to take individuality
and beauty to another level.

The Title is "Making a Scene"
By
JILL HARNISH
Circle Contributor
The power-pop and electron-
ica world is known for bands
like Forever the Sickest Kids,
The Secret Handshake, and
Hellogoodbye. Emerging within
this booming genre is a local
band from northern New
Jersey, The Title.
The band is made up of
brothers Nick and Mike
Esposito, Joe Oldock, Mike
Donaldson,
and
Austen
Howell.
Shortly before their first full-
length album, "Making a
Scene," was released, Oldock
replaced former keyboard
player Evan Stalter. "[Joe] fit
in very well and everyone got
along right from the start,"
said singer Nick Esposito.
"Making a Scene" came out
July 9 and was a hit among
loyal followers as well as a
whole new audience
.
"Our music is the soundtrack
to someone looking at the sil-
ver lining of a bad situation,"
Esposito said. "Some of the
subject
matter
is
really
depressing and carries hints of
loss or loneliness, but it all
sounds
happy
regardless.
_
That's the important part - the
good and the bad, it doesn't
matter.

which contains bitter subject

The name "Making a Scene"
serves dual purposes for the
band members.
"We do this thing where we
scream at people and call
attention to them. It's usually
started with '[insert name],
you're making a scene!"'
Esposito explained
.
·
The Title can be credited
with setting the electronica
scene in New Jersey, which
was taken into account when
naming the album.
"It's a bit of a bold statement
for a first album, but we felt
like it was worth a shot," said
Esposito.
The band released a new EP
titled "The Progression." The
first song "Pletronics," which
was released in September of
last year, was completely
reworked after a revelation
from Nick.
"It came on after a bunch of
my latest songs, and 1 realized
how much more
I
could do

he
said.
"I'm
extremely satisfied with the
new version, and
I
feel like it's

deserved - even though
I
was-
n't capable of it yet."
On the new EP there are
songs meant to inspire both
loving and hurtful feelings

Don't sweat it: Which drink quenches your thirst
By:
JOSEPH BRONSON
Circle Contributor
We have all had the same
problem when trying to decide
what drink to grab while we
work out
-
'Should I grab
Gatorade, Propel, Vitamin
Water, or something else?'
Each option is attractive in its
own way. Gatorade
sponsors
popular athletes such as
Michael Jordan, Mia Hamm,
Derek Jeter, and Peyton
Manning to attract its cus-
tomers. Vitamin Water uses
witty advertising and labels
showing many nutrients to
grab attention. And, Propel 's
approach is much simpler,
advertising themselves as a
sports
drink
with zero calories.
Each drink is appealing to dif-
ferent people, but in case none
of
those
advertisements
helped you with your decision,
don't worry. I will be pointing
out the major differences from
a neutral view. After all, it's
not like I make any money
based on which drink you
decide to purchase.
Let us start with Gatorade,
originally concocted in 1965
by
a
team of medical
researchers at the University
of Florida as a
drink
to rehy-
drate the football players dur-
ing their grueling summer
practices. Since, Gatorade's

Sex, love & relationships: Is caution worth the risk?

The relationships we have

With this significance comes
the bittersweet taste of vulner-

"the total package" offered
here at Marist. The superb
academic tradition and men-
toring system in conjunction
with the opportunity to com-
pete with nationally ranked
opponents at the NCAA tour-
nament complete that pack•
age.
"It's why I am here in the
states: to study. I have
.
the
chance to go to a really good
school academically and I also
have the chance to play tennis
at a high level," Sessagesimi
said.
Smith has succeeded in com-
posing a diverse group of
young men representing five
nations in total, along with
states California, Texas, and
Florida. Some of their success
must be attributed to the strik-
ing team dynamic created by
their diversity.
"We certainly know what
teammates are going through
because we are living the
same
experience
and we know
how it's not easy being far
away from your home coun-
try," Sessagesimi said.
The recruitment of these
international
players
has
added a dimension of tough-
ness to the group.
"They're
more mentally pre-
pared to play at this level,"
Smith said.
"I don t think our MAAC
title has changed anything in
our team's behavior. We all
know that if we want to win
again we're going to have to
work as hard as last year," said
Nicholas Pisecky, a native of
Lausanne, Switzerland.
Players devote time outside
of practice to physical condi-
tioning. Also, with the absence
of indoor courts, players pay
fees at the Dutchess Racket
Club to continue work in the
off season.
••we
.
're the hunted now,"
Smith said.
It seems like the Marist men
are up to the challenge.

Ehikioya breaks record but Foxes fall
By PHILIP TERRIGNO
Assistant Sports Editor
With just under ten minutes
remaining in the first quarter,
Marist
quarterback
Chris
Debowski handed the football
off
to
Bo Ehikioya on a half-
back carry. The play began like
hundreds of others have in
Ehikioya 's career, but it ended
in a manner that has occurred
42 times during his illustrious
tenure as a Red Fox: in the end
zone.
Ehikioya's
80-yard
touchdown
run
against
Bucknell on Oct. 4 gave
Marist a 7-0 lead in the game
and also gave Ehikioya sole
possession of Marist's all-time
touchdown record, previously
held by the late J.J. Allen, with
41 touchdowns.
The Bucknell Bison came to
Tenney stadium with a roster
full of athletic playmakers.
Halfbacks A.J. Kizekai and
Josh Lee were both averaging
6.6 yards per carry entering the
game and quar-
t e r b a c k
Marcello Trigg
led the nation in
pass efficiency
during the 2007
season. On their
first drive of the
game, the Bison

five minutes off
the clock and
drove down to'
the Marist five-
yard line. On
fourth down, the
Bison attempted
a fake field goal,
but the pass was
intercepted
in
the end zone by
Nie Zivic.
"We've had
such good suc-
cess with our
PAT [point after

'THE
c1Ret.E
touchdown] and
Senior
Bo
Ehlkoya

record
books
on
field goal special
Saturday. His 80-yard
touchdown
run
gave him teams that we
sole possession
of
Marist's all-time TD
record. knew eventually
someone was going to
try
to
come off that edge against us,"
head coach Jim Parady said.
"We defel)ded it well. .. a team
was eventually going to
try
that against us so I thought we
were well prepared.
It
was a
great
turn
of the emotional tide
there to get the interception
and give us the ball on the 20-
yard line instead of being
down 3-0."
Marist's drive began on
its
own
twenty
yard
line.
Ehikioya's 80-yard touchdown
run came on the next play, giv-
ing the Red Foxes a 7-0 lead.
"One of the linebackers came
over the top to make the tack-
le, I lowered by shoulder ~d
he bounced off. All I saw was
straight daylight to the end
zone ..
.I
kept telling myself '
Don't get run down.' At about
the 40 I looked
to
my right and
I saw that the safety and the
comer were coming over. I
knew I had to make
it,"
Ehikioya said.
"It means a lot to me [to
break the Marist all-time
touchdown record]. I've heard
a lot about
J.J.
Atlen ftom
Coach Parady and he was $llch
a great player. It means a "'
•,
deal to me, it's a big
honor.

On
their next possession, the

down run, giving Marist a 14-

Marist held their 14-7 lead up
until the end of the third quar-
ter when kicker Kevin Pauly
