is
more
popular among student listeners
than

a result, he expects listenership
to
decline for the moment
''We're

Taylor said.

even more. We're

Taylor pointed two factors neces-
sary for anticipated growth: New
blood
and
new
events.
The majority of the hosts coming in
this year
are
freshman, which
means
that there is great potential
for
improvement.
Additionally,
Taylor said,
new
events are in the
works,
including
sessions with
several
bands like the

to
solve its

the station has

If
you asked a typical col-
lege student whether or not
they would willingly tell
campus security that they
were having a house party,
they might respond with a
derisive laugh.
However,
Marist College actually pres-
ents an option where students
of legal drinking age can
receive official approval by
registering parties.
Senior Nicole Mikaelian, a
resident assistant in the Foy
Townhouses, described a pro-
cedure for getting this seal of
approval. She said that stu-
dents had to either download
a form or get one from an
RA.
This form states that stu-
dents are "expected to adhere
to all Marist College policies
and procedures, as well as all
state, local, and federal laws
outlined in the Code of
Student Conduct and supple-
mefl.lary
Ii
terature as
distributed.
There is space designated at
the bottom of the form for
the names and signatures of
party attendees.

according to RA Karli Smith,
must be of a legal drinking
age, with the exception of
minors residing in the house.
The purpose, Mikaelian
said, is so that
"they
[securi-
ty] know that everything is
good." In her opinion, she
said, if the party gets
"a
little
loud, they may be less
inclined to bother you ... and
be more lenient."
Speculation, however,
appears to be the only assur-
ance tha:t registering parties
benefits potential party hosts.
In fact, one former Housing
employee
said that to the best
of their knowledge, register-
ing a party was a surefire way
to ensure a visit by security.
"Once
you registered a
party, you were pretty much
assured that security would
stop by to make sure that the
party was not over the top,"
the former employee said.
"Then again, this year I heard
that [this would not happen]."
When asked to describe
procedure for inspection of
registered parties, the securi-
ty officer on duty in Donnelly
Hall referred a Circle reporter
to Housing. He said that they
handled party registration,
and that security was not
specifically informed of par-
ties except in the event of a
complaint.
Some students, however,
firmly believe that registering
parties only invites trouble.
"I feel like it's asking for
security
to come," said junior
Mary Di Masi.
Senior Steve Cozzareli took
a similar stance, and said that
"It's [the whole process] kind
of ridiculous. The only
advantage ...
[is that] you're
not going to get broken up."
That
sentiment,
though,
seems based on pure opinion.
Three resident directors inter-
viewed
could not provide
specific details about
regis-
tered parties other than the
fact that they existed .
.
More to the point, no one
could seem to observe any
benefits for students register-
ing
their
parties.
The registration form clearly
states that these parties must
be in
compliance
with local,
state, and federal laws in
addition to the Code of
Student
Conduct.
The code of
conduct,
among
other things,
specifically
pro-
hibits noise violations during
the designated quiet hours of
1
:00
a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on
Friday and Saturday, and
10:00 p.m. to 8:00
a.m.
on
weekdays.
And, as
is
common knowl-

edge, parties by nature tend
to be both late and loud.
To the best of her knowl-
edge, parties generally occur
somewhere
between
the
hours of"l 1:00 p.m. and 3:00
a.m.," said junior Nicki
Boisvert.
And parties definitely get
loud, according to
junior
Nina Fingar.
Would guests at registered
parties behave any different-
ly? Both Boisvert and Fingar
said that they didn't think so.
Besides the obvious sanc-
tion on noise during regis-
tered parties, there is another
pragmatic drawback. House
residents who are under
21
not only don't have the free-
dom to roam around their
own house, they cannot have
guests of their own during a
registered party.
"If
you are under
21
and
live
there,
you can't have
your friends there [ while a
party is taldng place]," said
Smith.
Put plainly, you can stay in
your room, and little else.
Speaking hypothetically,
th~ former Housing employee
said "What is
the
incentive?
Why would I ever want to
register a party? I think it's
good in theory, but it's not
practical."

W19 - Sheahan Hall
Oh, Sheahan Hall. A student who
liad reportedly been drinking at a
l~al bar frequented by freshmen
(What? I'm not allowed to say
names) had a couple
drinks
catch
~
with them upon their return to
campus.
I
always got sick to my
siomach outside Sheahan, but usu-
aJly
it
was when I thought about

I
had to brave the Alaskan
wilderness outside in full winter
gear while my friends
in
Ghampagnat went to breakfast in
slippers.
Ahh,

9'/19 - Leo Hall
A
group of students were appre-
liended outside Leo Hall apparent-
ly throwing eggs. Throwing eggs?
*riously? When it's Sunday
q,.orning and you awake bleary-
eyed and stumble into the cafeteria
in
search of sustenance, and find
the breakfast offered severely
lacking, just
think
of what you
wasted. Back to stale bagels for
~u, aren't you lucky?
9/20 - Marian Hall
lo be honest, fake IDs are abun-
dant on all college campuses. It's
just easier to lie about your birth-
c\ay
than
it is to roll down yo~
sleeves while you 're secretly
swe-. People use them to get
into oars, clubs, and ... Marian
Hall?
A
security guard reported
the unauthorized use of an ID to
gam
entry
into
Marian.
Congratulations, buddy, you man-
aged to sneak into the two-floor
Marian Hall. You criminal master-
r(lind,
you.
9'/21 - Marian Hall
'two Marian rooms reported
~oney stolen due to an unlocked
dpor. Don't you kids remember
1:tte Girl Talk video diary commer-
cials from the 90's? You know you
have to lock your door; otherwise
y<>ur little brother comes in and
finds out all your deepest secrets.
~id we learn nothing from that
¢cade?
9/21 - Midrise
Security confiscated two handles
of vodka at the entryway to
Midrise, and the students were
sent on their way.
I
really can't
wrap my head around how this
happened.
I
mean, leaving with
nothing and coming back barely
able to lift your shoulder?
Or
three
suitcases for an overnight visit?
You're just like a stealth bomber.
9/22 - Fulton Townhouses
Security responded to an unautho-
rized party, .sending students home
and confiscating assorted alcohol
and a beer pong table. See, this is
exactly why I call it beruit -
because when my parents read
that my table got taken away, it
doesn't even sound like
I
was
drinking. I could just be making a
map of Lebanon, they have no
idea.
9/22 - Leo Ha11
Wow, Leo Hall at it again.
Security confiscated a keg, two
empty kegs, and a quart of vodka
from a residence. I've always
wanted to have a keg in my room,
because not only is it just some-
thing to do on a Sunday afternoon,
but keg stands are actually a great
aerobics exercise. My doctor did
tell me
I
should be more flexible.
Not sure this is what he had in
n:und, bQ!
I'm &2W&
with
it.
9/22 -
Foy Townhouse
Are yoi'kidding me?
A
fire alarm
was set off due to, wait for
it ... food burned in an oven.
Here's some advice: while your
food is cooking, do not go for a
run,
do not try and take a nap,
don't even call your grandmother
in Reno to see how things her side
of the Mississippi are. Sit there,
and watch that timer. Do not
move.

Spiegelman was born in

$chool of Art and Design then
t,,ent on to Harpur College.

Coniic books were seen as a
cype of art to Spiegelman
•ecause they were very
expres-
1
1
ive.
"Working
on a
comic
made the
pictures."
Spiegelman
was involyed
in the under-
ground comic
movement of
the
1960's
and
1970's.
A publication called
Raw
that he
and his wife were involved in
helped
him
to tell his story. His
most famous work, Maus, which
was released in 1986, told his
parents' story of
surviving
the
Holocaust.
"Maus contained thousands of
sketches," he said.
"It
was based
upon conversations I had
with
my father."
Spiegelman explained that
Maus was a 13 year project he
completed with his wife and was
made on a smaller scale.
It
was a
small booklet contained in an art
comic book published by Raw
magazine.
"I decided to make the Maus
issue small because I was able to
work more freely, while still
being able to maintain
control,"
he
said. "I wanted to
have an
intimacy
with
the
reader
and my
goal was
to
draw
everything
the
same
size
to achieve this."
Maus dramatized the
nature
of
the Holocaust, portraying the
Jewish people as mice and the
Germans as cats.
"The
reason I chose cats and
mice was because the details felt
right," he said. "The
story
did
not crumble and because I con-
AMY WHEELER
/
THE CIRCLE
structed it with less
information,
the
story
came to life."
In 2004,
Spiegelman created a
comic called
"In the Shadow of
No Towers," which
expressed
the events of
Sept.
11,
2001.
"I
was nearby in
New York
that
day when
the
towers
crumbled,"
he said.
"Images certainly
have
the power to
shock."
Spiegelman
said that c6mics
can cross over to any
medium,
and especially
to
film.
"The
main difference
is that
movies help
you
understand
what comics are
not,'
he
said.
"Genre comics
are
the root of
such
movies
as Sin City, V for
Vendetta, and
300."
Spiegelman
believes that
comics have a healthy
future and
that web
comics will find their
way.
"Web comics contain no gate-
keepers and
are a quick way to
learn," he
said.
Spiegelman ended his presen-
tation by
explaining the value of
comics
in today's
society.
"Comics
are
a tool
that
func-
tions the
way_
the brain
func-
tions," he
said. "The body
lan-
guage helps
people
understand
what is being
said."

has
~dded Marist

to its
busic network. So what? How
piany different music down-
Joading Web

are there
pow? And wl}y

M'hen I know how to download
usic for free?
MyTraclcs.com is something a
ittle different. The Web site
pecializes in indie music that
he site's o~ners think is
'worth
grabbing." E".eryday
hey have different featured
racks and newly added artists.
It's not a bad deal considering
ou can listen to every song for
ee
and then pay if you decide
ou want to download the
monthly fee gives
subscribers
the ability to download unlimit-
ed mp3 files, which can be put
on any iPod or mp3 player. A
s
ub
scription
is $7.95 per
month.
If
MyTracks is pur-
chased through Kaitlyn
Smith,
Marist's MyTracks
campus
representative, it's $5 .95 per
month. You can contact Smith
at Kaitlyn.Smithl@marist.edu.
"Now,
not all of it is that
great, but then again that's only
because it's not really my
style,"
said
Smith. "I think any-
one who is interested in going
beyond the top 40 when it
comes to their music interests
will enjoy it."
I wanted to try out MyTracks
without signing up because I'm
skeptical about signing up for
anything unfamiliar on the
Internet. When I went to the
homepage, I was surprised
there were only a few ads and
no annoying pop ups.
The homepage
showed a play
list of featured
artists that
looked like you
could
just press
play and
start
listening, but
when I did, I
was taken to a
_screen where
I was
asked to
register. Of course
nothing
could be that
easy,
but
it only
took about five
minutes.
I
was
asked to
enter
my name,
birth-
day,
sex, email, and password.
To
sign
up under
the
Marist
network, I did have
to
use
my
Marist email address.
After
listening to the
featured
artists play list
for
15
minutes,
I
thought
some
of
the
music
reminded me
of what was on
the radio, but the
singers could
actually
sing.
Some
of
it was
boring and some of it
was
real-

say
the least.

From their single, "The Swing

If
you
took
a
look
at a movie
review Web
site
this past
week-
end,
you've
probably
seen that
Dane
Cook's new movie Good
Luck Chuck
had a less than
ster-
ling
reputation.
It
was
dismissed
as a gross slapstick comedy
full
of sex and
bawdy
jokes.
Clearly,
the movie
critics
did
not grow
up
in the same
Dane
Cook era where shoes are
unnecessary
and we all just
meet up
at the
BK
Lounge.
Maybe
I'm just
the
target demo-
graphic,
but I found that the
movie
had
enough funny and
even
endearing
moments to
keep me
entertained.
The movie starts with Charlie
(Dane Cook), the
main
charac-
ter,
at
fourteen
playing
spin
the
bottle.
When
he turns down
the
girl he's
supposed
to
kiss, she
puts a hex on him
saying
that
love will be all
around
him but
never touch him. Instead, the
women he dates
will fall for the
next man.
Years later,
Charlie
is ousted
as a
good
luck
charm
at an ex-
girlfriend's
wedding and
spends
his
time simultaneously enjoy-
ing the benefits of this rumor
and pursuing
Cam
(Jessica
Alba), the
klutzy
but beautiful
female
lead.
Once
he wins
a
chance
with her,
he has to prove
that the curse does not
exist or
break
it
before he
loses her for-
Good Luck Chuck has some
genuine
laugh-out-loud
moments, some
of which
aren't
even
based
on sex!
Dane
Cook
has that
same
great physical
comedy he always
does and his
facial
reactions
to
situations
are
some of
the best moments.
There
are a few
good
slapstick
moments and some
of
them
even
include
Jessica Alba.
She
did an admirable
job portraying
a girl who
can't
even
walk with-
out falling
down. While it was
certainly weird to see
this nor-
mally
chic and
sexy actress
chip
her tooth,
fall down
a slide
into
a
penguin pool, and
close
her
dress
in
a door,
I
certainly
can't
begrudge
her effort.
As
for
eye candy,
boys, Jessica
Alba
has
her skirt ripped off
within
twenty
minutes of the
movie's
start.
Let us also not
forget
her little
striptease. For
the ladies,
Dane
Cook's shirt
is
off when
the movie starts and it
stays
that way
for
the majority
of
the
movie,
and that is A-OK
with
me.
The pair has a believable
chemistry
together and even in
those
awkward
moments
where
the story takes Charlie's
obses-
sion
with
Cam
a little too far, we
can forgive them in the name of
the
adorably
hilarious
"home
video" that
rolls with the cred-
its.
It's
almost enough
to
forgive
Dane
Cook for
going main-
stream.

Music Review: ''Curtis''
By
50 Cent
Over a rock orchestra con-
structed by producers Adam
Deitch and Eric Krasno, 50
raps about just how these
guns work when they are in
his hands.
"Man DQwn" continues
50's obsession with talking
about killing with a chorus of
"I'll murder them/I'll murder
them."
50 covers the same topics
of gun play as he did in the
previous song arrd does not
refrain from addressing his
street habits in
"I'll
Still
Kill." With Akon supplying
the chorus, Dj Khalil (who
previously worked on Jay-
Z's
"Kingdome
Come") pro-
duces the hottest track on the
album thu~ far. Akon brings
more emotion to the song
with meaningful lyrics about
his own street life, but at this
point, the lyrics are already
getting tiresome and repeti-
tive.
Just when you thought 50
Cent could not get any more
street, he comes out with the
hardest song of the album,
the Apex-produced "I Get
Money." Mixing his street
life
with his financial suc-
cess, 50 raps "I'm the baker/I
bake the bread/ A barber/I'
11
cut your head/ A marksman/I
spray the lead."
"Come
and Go" immediate-
ly brings in the orchestral
strings and
keys
of Dr. Dre
(although Veto and Roomio
are credited with the beat; 50
raps "Its Dr. Dre and 50 Cent
trick")
before 50 begins rap-
ping about violence and hav-
i:bg
a
new
girl
on the daily.
Mentio11ing women helps
to introduce the best song on
the
album,
"Ayo
Technology," with "it pro-
ducer" Timbaland supplying
the electronic dance
beat
and
his
main
man
Justin
Timberlake
on
the chorus. 50
raps
about
his
fantasy
women and what he enjoys
doing with them in another
hot
collaboration
from
Timbaland and Timberlake,
who have recently
become
the hottest
duo
in the music
industry.
"Follow My Lead," featur-
ing singer Robin Thicke
made
50
Cent trash his
offices after it was leaked in
the summer. 50 is lucky that
it
was not
a better song from
the album, because this song
brings back the cheesy
R&B
style of "The Massacre."
"Movin' On Up" is another
street song, produced by Jake
One, with 50 mostly rapping
about his methods of making
money.
The next two songs,
"Straight to the Bank" and
"Amusement
Park,"
were
50's first attempts at singles
for this album,
but
both were
unpopular with fans and
added to its delay. "Straight
to the Bank" is an
uninspired
ballad of money making
while "Amusement
Park"
brings back 50's corny flirta-
tions from "The Massacre."
The rest of the album
flows inconsistently with
some banging
tracks
and oth-
ers that fall flat. Havoc
offers his production on
"Fully Loaded Clip," which
mocks
the
relationships
famous rap11ers have
had
with
R&B
singers, and
"Curtis 1 ST' which is self
explanatory from the title.
The Dr. Dre-produced
"Fire" features fellow G-
Unit member Young Buck
and
pop
singer
Nicole
Scherzinger
from
the
Pussycat Dolls, but her
screechy lyrics ruin what
could hav~ been a club
banger.
"All of Me" features leg-
endary singer Mary J. Blige
and is a softer tribute to the
ladies, but goes over the top
with the chorus of "Your
body is callin' me/Got me
feelin' like
a
fiend on crack."
The Eminem collaboration
"Peep Show" is the weakest
instance
in 50's short career
with Eminem and 50 trading
lines about hooking up with
strippers.
"Touch
the Sky" features
G-Unit's Tony Yayo and
attempts to bring more street
flare to the album. However,
there were songs earlier in
the album more connected to
the streets and it makes it an
unfitting end to "Curtis."
Is this the end for Curtis?
50 has announced his desire
to fall out of the rap game if
Kanye West beats him in first
week sales (they were both
released on Sept. l lJ. He
may sell millions, but unlike
more consistent New York
rap veterans like N as and
Jay-Z, 50 Cent has once
again let his fans down with
a mediocre third effort.
"Curtis" has brought 50
Cent's street credibility back
to the levels of "Get Rich or
Die Try in'," but some catchy
production cannot save the
repetitive
topics,
weak
lyrics, and unimproved flow
of the self proclaimed
"King
of New York" 50 Cent.

First impressions can some-
times be everything in the enter-
tainment industry, and MTV
chose a horrible way to begin
Britney Spears' comeback per-
formance on the Video Music
Awards.
A close-up of her inch-long
hair sticking out from poorly
applied hair extensions set the
tone for a performance that
highlighted lackluster choreog-
raphy and lip-synching that was
l;>ad, even by Britney's stan-
dards. The performance was
both painful and humiliating to
watch, but I couldn't bring
myself to look away.
After her performance was
over, millions of people across
America concluded that the
Britney's big comeback was
anything but that. Instead, it
proved just how far Britney has
fallen ftom )ler position as the
princess of pop music.
The VMA debacle is just
another event in a long line of
shocking moments in Britney's
life. From her divorce with
Kevin Federline and the subse-
quent custody battle that fol-
lowed, to her active nightlife
and subsequent time in rehab,
Britney cannot stay out of the
headlines or out of trouble.
Thinking back to 1999, when
Britney Spears first shimmied
across our television sets in her
Catholic schoolgirl outfit, it is
difficult not to notice the down-
ward trajectory her career and
personal life has taken when
comparing her to the 2007
Britney, who shaves her head
and attacks paparazzi with
umbrellas.
Britney Spears is falling apart.

of every tabloid magazine and
on every gossip website on the
Internet. I find it difficult to
believe that someone could look

say no.
Britney Spears is just a celebri-
ty
who did all of this to herself.
If
she wants to go out every
night and give her sons Red
Bull, then let her. She did
release a song called "My
Prerogative," after all.
As easy as it is to dismiss
Britney and her wild ways, it is
hard to pretend you don't care
when
her
picture is on the cover
It
is obvious that Britney
Spears is a troub
l
ed person who
is not getting the help she needs.
Rehab may have helped her
briefly, but her bizarre behavior
and the continuation of her
hard-partying ways suggests
that her substance abuse is still
an issue.
A pe
r
s
o
nal letter for OJ Simpson
Britney's situation is not
helped by the people she sur-
rounds herself with, either. Her
most recent assistants have
barely lasted long enough to
assist Britney with anything.
Some of them have even sold
their stories to tabloids or used
their time with her as a way to
get an invite lo Paris Hilton's
beach house.
Dear Mr. Simpson.
Since Britney's hired inner cir-
cle obviously isn't helping her,
it would seem natural that she
turns to her family for help and
support. That would be fine,
except for one small problem:
Britney has a
l
ienated herself
from her parents and s_Wlings.
By pus
h
ing away the people
who care about her the most,
Britney set herself up to be
preyed upon by users like her
former ass
i
stants.
Britney has become prey to
anot
h
er vicious breed: the
paparazzi. The paparazzi are
responsib
l
e for making sure we
see every move she makes,
whether it's driving around with
her infant son on her l
_
ap, or
using the bathroom at a gas sta-
tion. While
I,
along with count-
less other people
,
am guilty of
checking
'Pink is the New Blog'
or other similar websites for the
latest Britney pictures, the way
in which these pictures were
obtained sometimes makes me
feel bad for looking at them.
Looking at the pictures, buy-
ing the magazines, or watching
the endless coverage on
E!
News are all ways in which the
public
feeds
the
growing
demand for a picture of Britney
Spears'--or any ·other celebri-
ty's
-
latest activity.
Should we care that Brilney
Spears is falling apart? Did we,
the public who demands these
pictures and stories, help drive
her to the edge?
The answer may not be defin-
itively yes, but it's the peop
l
e
who buy "Us Week
l
y" or log on
to TMZ.com that encourage the
obsessive news coverage of
celebrities.
While I don't doubt that
Britney Spears has some major
personal demons to deal with,
I'm sure she is having a hard
time coping with p
h
otograp
h
ers
l
urking aro
u
nd her house and
see
i
ng her face on the cover of
every tabloid.
We need to stop cari
n
g about
Britney Spears so she can get
her life back together.
It
may
be
full,
to laugh at her while she's
sucking a pac
i
fier while grocery
shopping, but she is 25 years old
and a mother of two young chil-
dren.

Let's take a trip through time
and look at some generational
differences. In the sixties, stu-
dent protest was nothing uncom-
mon. How many times have we
heard our elders speak of stu-
dent unions marc
h
ed upon or
police officers stood up tQ?
Thinking back on those crazy
times, one could ask the baby
boomers why they did such
t
h
i

s
Across the board they would
say it was because they were
fighting
for
a
cause.
They were doing it to change
the world.

today's youth and a recent event

that lipread
through the net like wild fire.
This is an outrage. How could
an innocent student
be
so brutal-
ly attacked by campus police,
who obviously stepped over the
line? Meyer was simply trying
to air his opinion in an open
forum with a United States sen-
ator. How perfect this would be
if the circumstances stopped
there.
But lik
·
e every hero that has
arisen in America
in
the last few
years, Meyer comes crashing
down to the ground in a blazing
fireball.
It's almost common
knowledge at this point tha.t
Meyer was
known
as
a
"prankster" on campus.
l'.m
going to look past that for the
sake of the point I'm attempting
to
make.
Everyone sees Meyer in the
I
auditorium, yelling quite audi-
bly,
"What
did
I
do?
Why are you arresting me?"
f
ques!:::\o~~ev~a~!!'.
i
m;~•~
one would speculate that, based
on the troub

e he made in the
auditorium, he would continue
this behavior when escorted out
of
the
auditorium.

case.

Do you love to go for a run after a stress

ful day? Ho\'{ about meeting. other runners
who
will
go that extra loop around campus
with you? Tired of the treadmill? The intra-
mural program has gotten a new addition
this semester, and it might be just what you
are look
i
ng for. The running club is a group
that all students are welcome to join to meet
fell ow runners, achieve persona
l
goals and
earn some priority points.
The club was started after junior Cris
ti
na
Capasso realized there was a need for an
organized running group on campus. She
also saw opportunities for students to get
involved in running local races. The group
plans to meet a few days a week at various
times to accommodate a variety of sched
-
ules. A common excuse among students is
that they are too busy or tired to find the
time to fit in a run. By offering multiple
occasions during the week to run with
the
group, members can tailor a running pro-
gram to meet their needs.
All
l
evels and abilities are
welcome,
from
beginners who want to build endurance to
more advanced runners who want a bit more
of a challenge. To prevent boredom, the
routes will vary, but will mainly be around
campus, with the exception of some bridge

runs and possible outings to nearby

When I was in first grade,

I
was convinced that
revealing my intentions to Joey would result
in
a long romance and eventual marriage
(yes,
I was a progressive kid.) So, imagine

Dating and playing hard to get
love interest that you like them, but under no cir-
cumstance should you ever make it too obvious.
If you are too obvious, then your friends are
bound to label you as "Desperate." In the world of
relationships, Desperate is of the same caliber as
Clingy, and one step away from Stalker. Being
Desperate is synonymous with being the leper of
the relationship community.
Yet, the question remains: does playing hard to
get actually work?
According to studies by Paul Estwick and Robert
Sapolsky, the answer is overwhe.bningly, "Yes."
Paul Estwick, a social psychology graduate at
Northwestern University, conducted a study
on
the
effects of playing hard to get. He and other psy-
chologists hosted a speed-dating social for under-
graduates, where participants would later write
down the names of people who interested them. Of
the names listed, participants would then rate their
choices on a scale of one to nine. They would also
rate who was more likely to be picky in their selec-
tions, and who was more likely to
be
most popular.
A vast majority of participants were able to cor-
rectly guess which of their peers would be more
popular and who would be less picky. Estwick and
his colleagues found a strong correlation to how
picky someone was and how popular they were.
In
their study, the more picky people were also the
most popular people (and Estwick and his col-
leagues claimed to have calibrated the system for
anyone who was hot enough to be as picky as he or
she wanted).
Stanford neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky also
argues that playing hard to get works ( or at least
stimulates the chaser.) In his article, "The Pleasure
of Maybe," Sapolsky notes that the anticipation of
a reward can actually create the same - if not more
- amount of stimulation in the mind of whoever is
pursuing you.
This anticipation releases a heightened release of
dopamine circuits in the brain. These dopamine
circuits are the same chemicals that are associated
with cocaine use and other addictions.
Now, we obviously know that playing hard to get
works, but how do we play such a complicated
game?
This is where Mystery, pick-up artist extraordi-
naire, steps in. He preaches techniques such as the
false time constraint and approaching from diago-
nals. And yes, these techniques are made for men,
but we'll assume that women can also use these
techniques. Sort of.
In the false time constraint, you approach a pos-
sible love interest and immediately declare that
you have somewhere to go. This creates the illu-
sion that you have other places to be, and you are
in control of the situation.
Also, never stake yourself directly in front of
your hottie. This automatically creates the impres-
sion that you're desperate. Instead, approach from
an angle and look over your shoulder, as if the
presence of your hottie is a simple convenience.
Now that you've got the words of wisdom from
Mystery and the scientific backing of research, go
get 'em! Try the
techniques
and tell me how they
go. Remember: it's all about the thrill of the chase.

IT Girl: technology news
from a tech-savvy chick
Anti-Piracy Company
1s
Royally
Screwed
By
LISA BRASS
Circle Contributor
Surfing the net the past week
has been a lot like watching the
original
·
Home Alone movie.
Only
instead
of an eight-year-
old embarrassing two sleazy
robbers, we get to see some
hackers embarrass a sleazy com-
pany named MediaDefender.
If
you thought the kid's pranks in
Home Alone were funny, just
wait
until
you
see
how
MediaDefender was dumped
butt-nekked onto a stage for the
entire online community to
mock.
This situation requires that we
start
from
the
beginning.
MediaDefender, a company that
offers services designed to stop
music and movie pirating, creat-
ed a video-sharing web site
called Miivi.com. On July 4,
2007, five months after it was
launched, file-sharing news site
TorrentFreak
alleged
that
MediaDefender 's
intent
was to
lure people into uploading copy-
righted material so it could
report them. Visitors who
learned
of Miivi's origins were
urged to download a user-faked
file called 'THIS SITE IS A
SCAM' in an attempt to crash
the server. Within a few hours,
Miivi was offiine. When it man-
aged to get some up-time again,
keen observers noted that the
site's WHOIS information (the
record of who owns Miivi) had
been changed.
MediaDefender acknowledged
soon after the incident that the
web site did belong to it, but
insisted
it
had no
intention of
catching uploaders. In an inter~
view, CEO Randy Saaf claimed
that "MediaDefender was work-
ing on an internal project that
involved video and didn't realize
that people would be trying to ~o
to it and so we didn't password-
protect the site ... this is not an
entrapment site." Worst defense
ever.
If
that was true, why would
MediaDefender
change
its
WHOIS and hide its identity?
Don't worry, Saafhas a prepared
excuse for that too. The informa-
tion was taken down, apparently,
because MediaDefender didn't
want "people sending them
spam". Uh-huh.
On September 14, 2007, a
group of hackers declaring
themselves
the
"M ediaDefender-Def enders"
leaked 6,621 of the company's
internal emails to BitTorrent. In
the file, the group states that "by
releasing these emails we hope
to secure the privacy and per-
sonal ~ntegrity of all peer-to-
peer users".
It goes o~ to thank
MediaDefender executive "Jay
Maris,
for
circumventing
[MediaDefender's]
entire email-
security by forwarding all your
emails to your Gmail account".
The collection of emails quickly
spread and is still available for
download
from
countless
sources online. The emails
include everything from payroll
issues to what the office should
order for lunch to the juicy bits.
And by the juicy bits, I mean the
shady activity.
In an email sent last June, one
executive identified only as 'R'
instructed another in hiding the
connection between
Miivi
and
MediaDefender. "Set up your
email so that you ell ways reply ...
.
with
an
info@miivi.com
address," wrote
R.
"I don't want
MediaDefender anywhere in
I
your email replies to people con-
tacting Miivi.
u
make sure
-
1
MediaDefender cannot
be
seen
in any of the
hidden
email data
crap that smart people can look
in". Other emails include strate-
gies and tricks for conning users
into uploading illegal material
and
requests
to
edit
MediaDefender's article
on
I
I
Wikipedia. One email even hint-
i
ed that the company was
provid-
ing information about file-shar-
ing network users t~ the New
York State Attorney General's
office. MediaDefender's public
shaming, however, doesn't stop
there.
The MediaDefender-Defenders
struck again on September 16th
to prove their uninterrupted
internal access to the company.
This time, they released
a
24-
minute phone
conversation
between two high-level execu-
tives 1lt MediaDefender. Four
days later, the
Defenders
made
public the source code of
MediaDefender's decoy systems
that it had placed on other file-
sharing sites to catch uploaders
.
MediaDefender hasn't been
able to get a word in edgewise
over the mocking laughter.
Instead,
it has resorted to send-
ing legal threats to isol:Junt and
Meganova, two file-sharing sites
that were hosting the formerly
private files. Both sites have
made scathing retorts, much to
the amusement of their support-
ers, but MediaDefender has yet
to
make an official statement
regarding
its next course of
action.

Freshmen fire up Foxes
By MATT SPILLANE
Assistant News Editor
Most teams put their faith in
senior leadership and experience
to guide them to victory. Marist's
men's soccer, however, must fol-
low a different formula for suc-
cess.
With more freshmen than
upperclassmen, the Red Foxes
have had to persevere without
crucial veteran savvy. The roster
includes only six juniors and two
seniors, while the rookie class is'
12 strong.
Due
to
the abundance of youth,
the team's fresh faces have been
thrown into the fire early on.
While immediate playing time is
getting the freshmen acclimated
to Division 1 competition, it has
also resulted in the team's early
struggles.
Though no team strives to start
the season with a 2-3-1 record,
Marist has gotten vital contribu-
tions from its freshmen. In the
Anny Tournament on September
14, the Red Foxes grinded out a
2-1 double overtime victory over
Air Force on freshman midfield-
er Steven Morales's first colle-
giate goal.
"That first goal was exciting,"
he said.
"It
boosted our morale."
Morales earned a spot on the all-
tournament team, along with
sophomore
forward
Tyler
DeBari.
Marist finished the tour-
nament with a 3-1 loss to
Quinnipiac.
"I was happy about making the
all-tournament team," he said,
"but I wanted the team
to
win the
tournament."
Head Coach Matt Viggiano
praised Morales' toughness and
work ethic.
"Steve is a gamer," he said.
"He works his tail off in games,
and has a real motor."
Eric Chaves is another rookie
who has made significant strides
recently. The freshman forward
was named tlie Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference's (MAAC)
co-rookie
of
the week on
September 24,
along with
Rider's Tom Antonucci. He pro-
pelled Marist to a 2-1 win over
Central
Connecticut
on
Septeny.ber
-19,
after netting the
game-winner with 15 minutes
remaining. It was Chaves' first
career goal.
Viggiano acknowledged that
the freshmen's adjustment period
has coincided with his team's
slow start. He said that in the
first couple weeks, his team "had
not played a full game yet."
"We were outplaying oppo-
nents, but we were not capitaliz-
ing, which is due to inexperi-
ence," he said.
Freshman defender
.Desmond
Farrelly conceded that 'the fresh-
men faced a learning curve in the
beginning of the
season.
"The college
players are big-
ger, faster,
and
stronger,"
he
said.
"We
had some
early struggles,
but
we're working
harder to
get
back on track."
Morales
agreed that
the
college
game
is tough to adjust to.
''The
pace
is
a lot
faster,"
he
said. "The mental adjustment is
the hardest
to
make."
The two players
agreed
that the
adjustment to college life and
Division
t
soccer
has been tnade
easier by the
large
nwnber of
freshmen
on the
team.
"All of the freshmen
are
deal-
ing with
the
same
issues,"
Farrelly said. "We're gelling
pretty well with the other guys."
"We all
have
the
same
level of
adjusting
and developing
in a
new school
and a new
team,"
Morales
said
.
Sophomore midfielder Tyler
Vinal noted the importance of
assimilating the freshmen into
the
team.
"We've
been
working
them
in,
improving the chemistry,"
he
said. "We need to
be
friends
on
and off the field."
The
Red
Foxes
will
test
that
chemistry against Albany
on
Saturday, September
29,
before
playing their home opener
against
Rider
on Friday, October
5.
Foxes suffer fourth straight loss
By GREG HRINYA
Staff Writer
The Red Foxes saw senior cap-
tain Bo Ehikioya return to the
backfield, but his record break-
ing perf
onnance was not enough
for Marist to get past the
Columbia Lions on a soaked
Saturday afternoon in New York
City.
Ehikioya
returned from an
ankle injury he suffered in the
first game of the season at
Lafayette and carried the ball for
a school record 38 times. His 38
carries were good for 212 yards
and one touchdown, but his score
would tally Marist's only points
on the day as the team foll to the
Lions,
31-7.
The last time a Red Foxes'
player rushed for over 200 yards
was when Ehikioya ran for 253
yards on Oct. 8, 2005, against La
Salle. The previous high for car-
ries in Marist's program history
was 36 by J.J. Allen in 1998.
Marist Red Foxes head coach
Jim Parady said the intentiot\
was never to have
Eh
ikioya
carry
the ball as many times as he did.
"We were only planning on
giving him the ball 15 times,"
Parady said.
"After
the game I
was surprised to see he had so
many carries, but he ran very
hard, broke a lot of tackles, and
was very impressive."
Even Ehikioya wasn't expect-
ing to see as much action as he
did
in
his first game back.
"I
wasn
·t
exp~ctmg
that
many
[carries], but I just rolled with
it," Ehikioya said.
"I
was only
expecting about 15 to 20 carries
and after the game
I
was sur-
prised to see that I had that many,
but
I
guess
I
had the hot hand."
Despite Ehikioya's early sea-
son injury, the running back was
a workhorse against Columbia
and did not feel any adverse
effects of the ankle.
"He was fine," Parady said. "We
were pleasantly surprised he did-
n't wear down and he provided
an emotional
·
lift
for
our
offense."
The running game got a much
needed boost with Ehikioya in
the backfield, but an injury to his
knee late in the Columbia game
makes his status for the upcom-
ing game against Bucknell
uncertain.
"I
hurt my knee at the end and
this week's not looking too
good," Ehikioya said. ''I'm defi-

fo
spite of all the success
Marist had on the ground, the
Red Foxes had a difficult time
getting anything going in the
passing game, whi~h was com-
pounded by the slick conditions.
Senior
quarterback Steve
McGrath was 3~8 for 41 yards
and an interception before being
taken out of the game due to
injury. Senior Matt Semerano
replaced the injured McGrath but
did not fare much better. The
senior quarterback completed
one pass for 16 yards, while
throwing six incompletions,
including one interception.
Coach Parady said the weather
played a factor in the team's
inability. to move the ball
through the air.
"It was a tough
day
throwing
the ball with the conditions and
the balls were very slick,"
Parady said. "The rubber pellets
were sticking to the ball and that
made it tough on the quarterback
and the center."
Running back Bo Ehikioya
wasn't surprised by the lack of
success passing, citing the team's
success running as a deterrent to
pass..
"Usua
lly
when our running
game is so successful, we don't
pass as much," Ehikioya said.
"I
wasn't surprised since we ran the
ball 65 times."

Consistency.
An integral part to any sports
team's'success. Something all
coaches strive for. And some-
thing that, if miss'ing, will
drive any coach crazy.
Simply talk to Marist vol-
leyball Coach Tom Hanna. A
lack of consistency caused his
team to suffer the same fate
twi~ in
a row. The
Red
F~es
lost two close games they
should have won. First they
fell to St. Peter's last Saturday
by a count of 3-2, and the fol-
lowing day, they lost by the
same score to Loyola.
"The biggest things are we
need
to play solid volleyball
for longer stretches," Hanna
said. "We play very good vol-
leyball
at times. But we need
to do it for a seven, 8-point
stretch rather than a three,
4-
point
stretch.
I
think that
would change our fortune. We
can win these types of match-
es before it gets to a fifth
game. We have the talent to
take advantage of some
opportunities before it gets to
a fifth game. I think we could
have won it earlier. "
Against Loyola, Marist was
a model of irregularity on its
way to the loss. After drop-
ping the first game 28
-
30,
Marist plowed through the
Greyhounds during the sec-
ond game 30-17, and edged
them out in the third game 33-
31.
However, they were unable
to close out the Greyhounds in
the fourth game and lost
23-
30. The fifth and deciding
game was close, but as they
had done the previous day
against St. Peter's, Marist fell
just short, 12-15.
Coach
Hanna attributed the loss to
the discrepancy in his team's
play.
"If
you see over the week-
end we won
games
by a score
of 30-17," Hanna said. "We
are capable of being that
team, we just need to be more
consistent. I mean they made
fewer errors and played better
when we beat them by 13 than
when we lost by two. So we
need to be more consistent.
We need to win that next
game."
A
continuing trend for the
Foxes this season is that the
younger players lead the way
for the team. Sophol)lore
Alexandra Schultze
had
21
kills and hit .275 against
Loyola
.

and

Schultze has been the leader
for the young
Red
Foxes
squad that features just
one
senior, two juniors, three
sophomores
and six freshmen.
Even though she is in the mid-
dle of her second year, Hanna
acknowledges Schultze as
one
of the more experienced play-
ers on his team.
"In our world, Alexandra is
experienced," Hanna said.
"She started all last year.
Granted, she plays the left
side, whereas in high school
she didn't. But she is experi-
enced
for us. We have her and
then all the freshman. And
then we have one_juni0r
on
the court and one senior in out
of the mix."
With the loss, Marist drops
to 5-11 on the season and 1-3
in the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference (MAAC). The
loss to Loyola also continues
a frustrating stretch in which
Marist has dropped nine of its
last ten matches. Coach
Hanna said he expects his
team to get out of the
funk
soon.
"There
is still plenty of sea-
son left, and again we
hiwe
shown we can play very good
volleyball," he said. "Whether
it was beating Rutgers or
Texas Pan American; or the
game
where
we

A positive sign for the

was

McGrath was back on

Tuesday.
The loss drops the Red
Foxes to 0-4 on the sea-

being played on the

start, the team has not
changed its
approach
and hopes to minimize
the mistakes that have
plagued the team during
the season.
"We're anxious to get

As a team, the Foxes are look-

Kelly, Sums, arid Parsloe alt

Cross country scoring is done
by adding together the places of

Therefore, the smaller score is
better.

After a fast start to
tli.e
s~ason,
the Marist women's soccer team
has hit a bit of a snag with two
consecutive losses.
The first came at the hands of
Colgate, where
.
even though
Marist had a 22-15 edge in shots,
they still fell by a score of 2-1.
Head Coach Elizabeth Roper felt
this was a game they definitely
had a chance to win if not for
some tough breaks.
"I think we were ready to play;
after a rough first I 5-20 minutes
we played very well," Roper
said. "We out-shot them ih the
while to get going.
It
was unfor-
tunate they got those two goals,
both of which were off rebounds.
Even when we got into halftime
we still had confidence and we
really dominated in the second
half."
In fact, Roper said that
Colgate's coaches asked her
what she told her players at half-
time, because in the second half
the Foxes really put the pressure
on.
"We had the numbers up there,
but had some tough breaks with
our shots. We hit the post twice
and went just wide of the post 3
times. And on top of that, their
keeper made some great saves.
how we played."
Marist's one goal of the game
was
an
own goal at the 57:21
mark.
Freshman
Merrilynn
Esteve and sophomore Katie
Zasly led the Red Foxes with
four shots a piece, and freshman
keeper Allison Lane made four
saves in goal;
So after a disappointing loss at
Colgate, the team headed to
Seton Hall to take on the Pirates.
One has to wonder if their previ-
ous loss would carry over to this
contest,
but Coach
Ropef
believes that wasn't the case.
"We went into Seton Hall feel-
ing really confident," Roper said.
"We walked onto the field with a
first half even though it took us a We came away disappointed at. lot of enthusiasm, and it was our
the loss, but I was very proud of best start to a game so far.
It
was
unfortunate, however, that they
got those two quick goals off
comer kicks, but again we came
out at halftime really confident.
But the quick goal they scored at
the beginning of the second half
I
think took a little wind out of
us."
Freshman Melanie Matera
scored the first goal of her colle-
giate career at the 90-minute
mark and keepers Allison Lane
and Caitlin Nazarechuk made
two and four saves respectively
as they split time in net for the
Red Foxes.
Roper said that once again the
6pposing coach commented on
how strong the Foxes played in
the second half, and Roper was
happy that they ended the Seton
Hall game strong. She is still
confident in her team as long as
they can fix a few problems
they've been having with keep-
ing the ball out of their zone.
"We have to take away mis-
takes and have to take responsi-
bility of getting the ball out of
the 18 (yard mark). We have to
make sure that those. garbage
goals don't get scored. " Roper
said. "We're getting a lot of shots
off and out shots are on frame.
Everyone on the team has to take
responsibility to get those balls
'
out of there and we'll be working
on that, but we really have done
a lot of good things."
The Red Foxes are back in
action at Bucknell on Sept. 28 at
7 p.m. Marist will definitely
want to get a win here and builo;

Nesbitt gets comfortable with team, looks for player emergence in spring

While Marist students were

team was battling the
/Jeorgetown
Hoy as.
I
Though they didn't emerge
,bompletely victorious, Coach
Roge Nesbitt was very pleased
with the progress the team
made.
Georgetown presented a dif-
ficult task, and Nesbitt thought
that they were a nice team to
play against. Captain Christine
Ong was able to make it to the
finals before losing to Hoyas'
Courtney Olsen. Both doubles
teams also competed well, but
the duo of Erin Godly and
Alexa Strange also lost in the
finals 7-9.
Though she has only been
coaching at Marist since
January, Nesbitt feels right at
home with the team
.
She played a big hand in
bringing over Ong from West
Point, and has recruited the
three freshmen on the team.
Most of the players were
already on the team when she
signed on to coach
.
According to Nesbitt, "the
new girls are adjusting well
and learning a lot from the
upperclassmen."
The fall season is used main-
ly for building skills and work-
ing on fundamentals for the
spring when the real season
and Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference
(MAAC)
Tournament take place.
Tournaments in the fall, like
the Georgetown Classic and
the Binghamton Tourney this
coming weekend, provide the
team a chance to get experi-
ence.
As for what the coach is
expecting this weekend, "I
don't have a lot of experience;
with Binghamton, but I have>

heard they are doing well.·
We will be competing against
·
some good teams, as Colgate

She will also be looking for

overall improvement as this is

all in preparation for the
