Charaf eddine hired as dining services chief
By
MARION
HERBERT
Staff Writer
You may have seen him, the
man in the neatly pressed suit in
Marist's residence dining hall.
He's usually pacing, tasting,
que
_
stioning, and planning. His
desk has a packed agenda and a
crowded calendar for the upcom-
ing weeks
.
He is Mohamad
Charafedd~ne, Marist's new gen-
eral manager of dining services.
The dining hall has been miss-
ing a general manager for a few
months since the fall semester.
Charafeddine was set to begin in
March 2007, but came in early
on February 26 to begin work at
the college.
Charafeddine's training began
at the Culinary Institute of
America in Hyde Park, where he
received a dual degree in
Culinary Arts and Bakery and
Pastry. He went on to gain
administrative experience by
interning as the fellow maitre d
at the Escoffier Restaurant of the
Director of Catering. When the
position for General Manager
opened up for the spring semes-
ter at Marist, Charafeddine
jumped at the opportunity
.
Charafeddine remembered
passing Marist everyday on his
way to the CIA, and always con-
sidered it to be a distinguished,
private liberal
arts
college.
"It's a dream come true work-
ing in this environment," said
Charafeddine. "When I applied I
didn't
want to hear 'no.' These
opportunities don't come around
every day."
.
Charafeddine has a long list of
goals. His three main immediate
priorities are the taste of food,
presentation, and service.
Charafeddine said he wants to
develop a diverse meal plan.
This includes themed cuisines
from around the world and a
variety of pastries.
He also
wants to offer students healthier
options and give them nutrition
labels on all the meals so they
know what they are eating.
Ideally, Charafeddine wants to
take the cafeteria image out of
the student's mind. It's a place
for student dining; their kitchen
away from home. He hopes that
excitement can be brought back
to the dining hall so it can be
an
enj6yable place to socialize.
Charafeddine said he places a
huge emphasis on customer serv-
ice, requesting that a manager be
on duty during lunch and dinner
hours to serve the students with
any problems that may occur.
"We
are
going to set
the
bar so
high," said Charafeddine. "I
want to be a food icon for college
campuses. People should be
talk-
ing about us."
Currently, Marist is one of just
three colleges in New York State
participating in the event, which
typically
takes
place in bars and
high schools across the country.
For
the
occasion, men gather
donations from sponsors in sup-
port
of children's
cancer
research; in tum, these
men
say
goodbye to their hair. Class of
2010
President
Steve Townsend
has attended the event before.
"We have a St. Baldrick's event
at one of the bars back home,"
he said. "It's something I want-
ed to bring to Marist because its
fun
and it makes a statement at
the same time."
·
Culinary Institute.
Charafeddine is a self-pro-
claimed perfectionist who focus-
es on every detail. He encour-
ages his staff to modify recipes
to enhance their taste. He said
wants to speed up service and
eliminate long lines. To that end,
the trash cans have been
removed to make the cafeteria
look more visually pleasing and
the cereal bowls no longer rest
on a low shelf where dust and
dirt are kicked up by every pass-
ing student. Charafeddine said
that convenience
,
quality, and
choices for the students are three
factors guiding changes
.
Students can be included with
the evolving cafeteria. Each
week the manager reads com-
ment cards left by the entryway
and finds ways to accommodate
different needs and continue with
the changes that receive positive
feedback. He said feels consis-
tency is the key to maintaining
any successful business.

Race, religion; gender still play serious
role in voting, according to recent poll
By
ANDREW OVERTON
Staff Writer
Religion, race, and gender are
still polarizing issues
in
politics
for many voters, the Marist
Institute for Public Opinion
(MIPO) showed in a report
February 19th_ According to the
n~tional survey, fifty-six percent
of voters said they are not likely
to vote for a Mormon for presi-
dent, regardless of the candi-
date's political party. Similarly,
34% of voters are unlikely to
support a woman, and 33% are
unlikely to support an African
American for president.
"A lot of people are reh;1c-
tant ... to support those types of
people," Dr. Lee Miringoff,
MIPO director said.
The poll results break down
how
likely
Democrat,
Republican, and independent
voters arre to vote for a woman,
African American, and Mormon
presidential candidate 2008.
Miringoff emphasized the role
of a voter's political party in this
poll.
"It's important to look at how
we ask the question," Miringoff
said. "There are Republicans that
wouldn't vote for Democrats
under any circumstances, and
there are Democrats that would-
n't vote for Republicans under
any circumstances."
According to the poll, 1 % of
Democrats said they are likely to
vote for a Mormon Republican
candidate, 2% of Republicans
said they are likely to vote for an
African American Democrat,
and 2% of Republicans said they
are likely to vote for a female
Democrat for president. These
numbers are significant because
Mitt
Romney,
a
Reppblican
Mormon, Barack Obama, an
African-American
Democrat,
and Hillary Clinton, a female
Democrat have all already
announced their bid for the pres-
idency.
Some Marist political science
professors commented on why
voters are reluctant to support
Mormon
and African American
candidates.

Science of Marist College

JoAnne Myers seemed to think
that Americans were wary of

A 'brief' digression and then more of the same. Carry o~!
By
KATE GIGLIO
Editor-in-extremis
So
it appears that some people have gotten a little miffed
by
the briefs lately, namely the fashion one from last
week.
If
it makes anyone feel any better, karma really
does seem to be catching up to me: I spilled a latte all
over myself at work the other day, and I couldn't get the
off-campus ProQuest site to load though I tried my best.
Anyway, I'm sorry that some people got so incredibly
upset. I respect the fashion industfY, I own quite a bit of
cerulean clothing, and I'm aware of how much work goes
into putting together a garment (probably as much work
as ... putting together a newspaper every week). So let's
all just take a deep cleansing breath and realize that any-
thing put out for public consumption will, well, get con-
sumed. And possibly swallowed whole.
In
the words of
Michael Kors, made immortal by Santino Rice: "Lighten
up; it's just faaashion!"

Tide:
"Electromagnetic Waves in the Workplace"
Intro:
In
this study, we attempted to study the applied
use of electromagnetic waves in everyday life.
Our
hypothesis is that you can microwave a sandwich until
the cows c9me home and it will be okay.
Materials & Methods:
This experiment was conducted in
Donnelly Hall in the School of Science Headquarters. Our
·
materials included a microwave and a sausage-and-pep-
per sandwich.
Results:
Our research found that you cannot, in fact,
nuke a sausage sandwich for an indefinite length of time.
Furthermore, we concluded that by doing this,
it
some-
times makes the intestinal casing of the sausage go
BOOM and results in setting off the fire alarm.

A housekeeper reported vandalism to the third floor of
Champagnat - a fire alarm box had been ripped off of the
wall and was hanging by the wires. The vandal was dis-
appointed to find that there were no expensive jeans
inside, nor did the box activate a secret entrance into the
laundry room
3/22 1:21 a.m.
For a while there, I couldn't figure out
if
Benoit was get-
ting stealthier or just taking more naps than usual. But
evidence that the Benoit kids are still alive, kicking, and
smoking their cherubic little faces off came late one night
last week. A security officer knocked on a door after the
odor of marijuana was detected. Following a brief "scur-
rying," the residents opened the door. In the room was a
bucket full of empty beer cans but no pot. There were,
however, footprints on the windowsill. This is like an
Encyclopedia Brown book: if you're really too dumb to
figure out the obvious, the answers are in the back

Townhouses I-block and it was a student who reported

3/22 10:15 p.m.
A student reported a missing clarinet but a search of the
areas in which she'd been proved fruitless. The clarinet
is valued between $800 and $1000. In fourth grade they
made us play instruments, and many of we young prodi-
gies chose the clarinet. My mom wore earplugs every
time I practiced, which wasn't often, because I hated that
stupid thing. Anyway it's probably in your best interest
that your clarinet was stolen. Maybe you wouldn't be
persecuted if you learned how to play something cool,
like the electric bass, or the cowbell
3/23 1:55 a.m.
A Culinary Institute of America student evidently tried to
make a u-tu~ and failed with flying colors. Security
found the student and his vehicle stuck in the mud,
"parked" between the sidewalk of Route 9 and the side-
walk of Beck Place over by the Steel Plant. That's almost
as bad as the time my tires got stuck in the ice in Hoop
lot. I had to recruit some random
gym
rat driving by to
help me shovel

chisel / melt the ice, and an hour of
damage control later, he asked me if I was doing anything
for the rest of the weekend. AWK-ward
3/23 10:00 p.m.
A female student walking from Benoit to the Lower
Townhouses was approached by a guy in a car who told
her he was "a taxi driver" and would take her "wherever
she wanted." Riiight. Ok, sure, Marist girls aren't the
sharpest arrows in the quiver but you have to be delu-
sional to think that some chick is just gonna hop in your
nondescript sedan so she can get abducted and/or mur-
dered. Ladies: those pearly gates at the entrance of
Marist don't keep out sleazeb~lls, so try to stick with the
buddy system if you're walking around at night.

you're wearing leggings

One lucky resident director was fortunate enough to con-
fiscate 25 cans of Natural Light beer from a suite in
Midrise. The four male residents had 30 guests. I'm just
amazed that 34 people could even fit in a Midrise suite.
Unless it was the awesome handicapped-accessible one
that my friends had sophomore year; in that case you
could fit twice that. I'm a little alarmed about the three-
quarters-of-a-beer-per-person thing, though
3/24 4:30 a.m.
A student in Marian Hall reported that "water had been
poured under the door" of his room; the water, they
added, harl been spiked with a "soapy substance" making
the liquid slippery. That is the worst prank ever. At
worst, housekeepingjust comes and cleans
it
up, which is
what happened, incidentally. At best, the victim just slips
and falls and possibly breaks one or more bones ... oh
wait, actually that's a pretty sweet prank
·
3/24 1:00 p.m.
The owner of a vehicle parked in Beck Place reported that
someone had broken into their car sometime in between
Thursday and Saturday afternoon. The door locks had
been busted with a screwdriver, which had been left in
the car. Stolen items included five dollars in change and
ajacket. I guess if you really needed ajacket
,
then that's
fine, but five dollars in change?? A decent screwdriver
costs like 20 bucks. Good swap
3/25 2:37 a.m.
Champagnat, seventh floor: a fire extinguisher was dis-
charged in the hallway and the fire boxes in the elevators
were ripped off the walls. I guess destroying all the fire
safety equipment in a building is a pretty good way to
prove you're a badass. Either that, or there is a serious
rage problem in Champagnat. Which reminds me: why
does nothing ever, ever happen in Sheahan Hall?? It's
like they're dead on the inside. I know there are less stu-
dents
i!1
there but really you guys need to show a little
chutzpah, which is Yiddish for "balls." I promise that

Two students trying to sneak in the back door of Marian
Hall with an 18--pack of Busch were foiledey the on-duty
resident advisor
.
I think I've mentioned before that the
first-floor windows of Marian are extremely accessible;
there have been times that I walk by, hear someone
'
s
alarm going off through an open window, and have been
tempted to press snooze, just to be a jerk. Anyway the
point is that when you can just shove 18 beers through an
open hole, you should take advantage

"I dropped my gallon jug of water on my toe and now it's

Blood needed at Marist drive
weeks," according to the organi-
zation's Web site.
"'Healthy
means that you feel well and can
perform normal activities.
If
you
have a chronic condition such as
diabetes
or high blood pressure,
'healthy' also means that you are
being treated and the condition is
under
control."
One looking to donate should
also eat a moderate meal first.
Sophomore Katie Dunn, mem-
ber of KLP, is looking forward to
the day of work.
"It's
a great way to help out the
community. The Zeta Psi boys
are going to help faside, in case
anyone feels weak and need to
be carried, and
the
girls are going
to help outside with the paper
work," Dunn said.
Tortorella agrees that, although
a lot of work goes in, it is a great
way to help out.
"It's not hard; it just takes a lot
of time and organization. I have
a great group of girls in the
sorority
and they help out. The
boys from Zeta Psi help us as
well and they are a big help too.
I
mean,
I
have been running
around to get
things
organized,
but in the end it is all worth it."
Bald heads help cancer patients
word out there, letting people
know what it's about, and
reminding them that hair does
grow back."
So
far
the event has some yery
enthusiastic participants, includ-
ing
freshman Bill Serpe, who
presented the idea to Delaney in
the
beginning of the school year.
"I did the event last year at my
high school and raised $550 for
the cause," said Serpe.
The fundraising goal for the
Marist St. Baldrick's Day is set
at $2,000. Letters have gone out
to Resident Assistants in fresh-
man dorms
asking
them to col-
lect $2 from each member of
their
respective
floor.
Additionally, a table will be set
up outside of the cafeteria
accepting cash and Marist
Money donations.
All that is needed now is the
commitment of not only the
freshman class, but the entire
Marist campus. For extra moti-
vation,
Serpe said to keep in
mind the children who have gone
through chemotherapy and have
to suffer with the resulting hair
loss. That is what St. Baldrick's
Day is all about.
"I figure the whole concept of
the event is that our hair will
grow back," says Serpe. "But
there are kids out there who
aren't that fortunate. At the very
least, it's a
symbo
l
of the chil-
dren's
strength
and what they
have to go thro.ugh."

know what a Mormon is.
If
you
asked someone to name five
Monnons,
I
bet you they could-
n't," Myers said. "It's sort of like
homosexuality. They might be
against it, but once they realize
that they know homosexuals
then their life
changes."
"Overall it says a third are
unlikely to support an African-
American candidate for presi-
dent," said
Dr.
Martin Shaffer,
Associate Professor of Political
Science, of the poll results.
"I
suspect the reality might be high-
er than that.
I
think there are peo-
ple who probably said they
would support that person
because it's an abstract question,
but when they actually got into
the voting booth they might not
do it," Shaffer said. ''I think there
is a socially acceptable response
there, .which is to
say 'Yes,
I
would support the African
American candidate' because
you don't want to look like a
bigot, quite frankly.
I
think
that
number
's
higher."
Marist students also reacted to
the MIPO
survey.
"I
think it just goes to
show
you
how ignorant and blind our
nation is," said freshman Chelsea
Murray.
."They
need to embrace
change and
give everyone an
equal
chance."
"People
are way too
close-
minded," said junior Lyndsay
Strubeck.
"People
should look at
their platfonn and not their reli-
gious background or race."
Several Marist students were
willing to share their feelings
about the possibilities of a
Mormon president.
When asked if she would vote
for a Mormon, sophomore
Jennifer McNamara said,
"I
don't really know that much
about Mormons. I think
I
would
though."
McNamara was one of many
people who said they were
ill-
informed about Mormonism.
There were other Marist
students
that
seeme
d more
confident
addressing the possibility of a
Mormon president.
"It
depends on. how much of
their view is influenced by their
religious beliefs, but in general, I
would feel uncomfortable with a
Mormon as someone important
in government," freshman Cara
Domings said.
"For
example,
their views on homosexuality
-
they treat it like
a
disease."
Marist
students
had a lot to say
regarding an African American
presidential candidate.
James Freeman '
IO
said he
would vote for an African
American candidate.
"I
find it
very interesting that there is
finally a black candidate,"
Freeman said. "It makes me want
to do re'iearch
ahout
him
and
see
if he is actually worth
voting
for."
"I
would also have to see who
he's up against," said sophomore
Rory O'Brien.
"If
it's a white
candidate
he's up
against,
I'd
probably lean towards the white
candidate."
Opinions regarding a female
president were just as varied.
"I
would never vote for a
female," O'Brien said.
"I
just
don't think that they have the
ability to have the entire nation
in their hands. They don't have
some of the skills that a man
would."
"I probably
would
not vote for
a female president because
women are still viewed as inferi-
or to men in many parts of the
world,
especially
the Middle
East,"
Mike
Ruane
'
IO
said.
"This might adversely affect
American foreign policy and
how America is viewed global-
ly."
McNamara, on the other hand
said that she would vote for a
female president.
"I
believe they
can serve just as well as men,"
McNamara said.
"I
don't think
that gender would prevent them
from fulfilling their duties at all."
"These
are polarizing times,"
Dr. Miringoff said,
'.'and
these
are reflected in the poll."

Dance team enters first
competitiori, hopes for more
By
ASHLEY MAHON
Circle
Contributor
Saturday, March 24 marked a new era for the
Marist College Dance Team
.
The team, which had
previously only performed at football and basket-
baII games on campus, participated in their first
intercoHegiate contest at a dance competition in
Westfield, Massachusetts.
The competition was hosted by the Universal
Dance Association on the Westfield State
University campus and had over twenty different
schools participating. Junior team member and
incoming captain Shannon Kozibroda, thought that
the team did well overall.
"Since it was our first competition we didn't have
high expectations so we were very happy with how
we placed. Just the overall experience of compet-
ing was something new for the school and we hope
that we can add more competitions into our sched-
ule for next year," she said.
The team, which is comprised of sixteen girls
from every grade level, functions as a club sport,
like the cheerleading team, which puts them under
the direction of both the Athletics Department and
SGA.
Though the team does not have a coach, they are
led by three captains that are elected after the pre-
vious season. The captains for next year were cho-
sen last week and are comprised of juniors
Meghann
Pursell
and Shannon Kozibroda, and
sophomore Nicole Peto. All three said they look
forward to the upcoming season and hope that it
will be as successful as this year
.
"The dance team has taken so many steps for-
ward this season and I believe with the same
amount of hard work and dedication
,
we will only
continue to move forward next season," said
Nicole Peto.
Band fraternity and sorority named
joined council by Student Government
By
MARK RODENHIZER
Staff
Writer
Recently, Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma,
the band fraternity and sorority respectively, were
named a joined council by the Student
Government. Brianna Kennedy
,
a member of Tau
Beta
Sigma, says that hav
i
ng a joined council will
be able to help recogn
i
ze the groups
.
"We deserve recognition for all that we do," she
said. "We felt we have worked hard to establish
ourselves as active groups on this campus."
Tom Depace
,
President of Kappa Kappa Psi says
that the joined council will be able to benefit the
organizations and the music department.
"We can take on bigger projects and we can get
more
stu
ff
done."
We are
"
working to further establi
s
h Marist's tal-
,
ents and maybe even help facilitate a music
major
,"
Kennedy said.
Colin Rand, a member of Kappa Kappa Psi, says
that the music program will be able to improve.
"It
gives us the ability to help other music frater-
nity and sororities if anyone wanted to bring them
to the campus
,
" he said. "We would be the \lmbrel-
la organization to help support them
.
"
The Marist Tau Beta Sigma chapter started in
2001 with the school's Kappa Kappa Psi chapter
forming shortly after. Since spring 2004, the two
organization
s
have had meetings together. James
Marconi
,
a
member of Kappa Kappa Psi says that
the two organizations get along very well.
"We work fairly smoothly to achieve our goal
s
.
"
"A lot of schools don't have councils like ours
and most these schools suffer from bad relations
between the two organizations," Rand said.

All about spring allergies: why we get them, and how to cope
By ANDREA WRIGHT
Circle Contributor
As the the days grow
warmer, we finally find our-
selves outside for longer than
it takes us to ruh from class to
class. We also find ourselves
being surrounded by runny
eyes and sneezing. Yes, spring
allergies have arrived.
Allergic rhinitis, or hay
fever, a:ffects approximately
30% of the US population. The
symptoms are similar to the
common cold, but never
include a fever1 The affected
are plagued with sneezing,
coughing, runny eyes and
noses, and perhaps earaches.
Spring time is one of the worst
for allergy sufferers because
of all the plants that are in
bloom, which results in a high-
er amount of pollen floating in
the air.

"All of us, including

question, 'What can we do to

According to Sanso!~,
there are simple daily tasks that
all colleg~ students can do to con-

Dumpster Dive is April 11 from

Most students take advantage of
the recycling containers
located
around campus. Sophomore,
Clare Mountjoy, sets aside a
garbage can for recyclables in her
Gartland suite and encourages her
overflow and avoid throwing
away any recyclable materials.
"I would definitely con-
sider myself an environmentally
aware individual," said Morrison.
"My housemates and I make sure
to recycle all we can to aid in the
larger issue of sustainability."
In the near future Marist
seeks to promote a renewed inter-
est in such sustainability, starting
in the classroom. Some faculty
members will infuse this issue in
their curriculum through readings
and films and will attempt to
make students aware of the eco-
logical impact.
symptoms.
Anti-histamines
(such as Claritin or Allegra)
are a
good
place
to start, how-
ever
the effect of these will
depend
on the individual's
severity of allergies and any
medicinal allergies. One of the
downsides
to these is that they
typically make people drowsy,
however
many
brands
now
offer non-drowsy pills for
those who are susceptible.
Antihistamines can relieve
sneezing, itching and eye
symptoms.
Decongestants
are
also a common treatment, for
those with a runny nose. These
are
available in pill form, or as
nasal
spray. However, nasal
spray should not be used con-
sistently, as it may actually
make congestion worse if used
for more than a few days in a
row.
For severe allergies, there
are
always
prescriptions
strength anti-histamines and
decongestants. There are also
allergy shots available, which
will help your immune system
accept the foreign pollen.
These can be found by talking
to your doctor.
Allergies are not always
easily treated, and impact
many
students'
lives.
Constantly qaving to sneeze
during class and not being able
to breathe through your nose
can be frustrating for anyone,
particularly a busy college stu-
dent. Artie Zapke, a sopho-
more with allergies, says,
"My
allergies make it hard to play
sports or go running outside.
It's just a hassle to constantly
feel sick when I'm trying to
work and have fun". The best
way to go about allergies is to
talk to your doctor about med-
ical treatments, as well as try-
ing to fit our natural preven-
tion methods into your
life.

An interview with Jim Breuer answers questions on life and career
By
CHELSEA MURRAY
Staff Writer
Jim Breuer of Saturday Night
Live and "Half Baked" paid a
visit to the decently packed
McCann Center here at Marist
on Sunday night. I had the
chance to interview the famed
comedian while he was on vaca-
tion to answer some questions
about his life and career.
Chelsea Murray: Are you on a
comedy tour right now or just
bopping around to a few differ-
ent venues close to home?
Jim Breuer: I'm not on tour
right now, but I have a few things
cookin'.
I
have a bunch of per-
formances coming up in New
Brunswick, NJ at the Stress
Factory on April 11, 18, and 25
and one at the Bay Street Theater
in Sag Harbor, NY on June 25.
My Sirius Satellite show keeps
me busy too!
CM:
When you're on tour, "is it
hard being .away from home?
JB: It's tough being away from
my daughters, not being able to
play "pretend" games or tuck
them in.
CM: Can you tell any entertain-
ing stories about the tour?
JB: How long do you have?

Chris Semergieff paintings

.
tured at Steel Plant
Art
Gallery
By SANDRA BUJALSKI
Circle Contributor
If you need a moment to just
chill out and relax, come see
painter
Chris
Semergieff's
peaceful landscape paintings.
From
5
to
7
p.m. on Thursday,
March 29, there will be a recep-
tion in his honor in the Marist
Art
Gallery located in the Steel
Plant.
Gallery Director Ed Smith
explains that his paintings give
off a peaceful feeling. He knows
that students lead busy lives and
he believes that just spending
time looking at the artwork will
help them to calm down.
"This is museum quality paint-
ing,'' Smith said. "The pieces
are beautiful; it's absolutely
exquisite work."
Semergieff became inspired at
the World's Fair in 1964 when he
experienced
Michelangelo's
Pieta.
"Nothing has disap-
peared in my mind about that
incredible experience from that
time to now," he said.
The artist began painting land-
scapes because when he first
tried his hand at painting, all of
his teachers were landscape
artists.
He began by painting
scenes from New York City
parks, and over time moved to
street scenes. Now he paints the
view from roof tops.
Semergieff describes how the
country's industrial heritage
became a focus in his work and
he would use the Brooklyn
waterfront and nature to repre-
sent this.
"They are historical and impor-
tant to the development of this
country and the great city we
love," he said.
Nature is a central theme in
Semergieff's work; the artist
finds great beauty in our interac-
tion with nature.
"I enjoy being outside and
observing places over a fairly
long time," he said. "I stay on a
spot sometimes for months, per-
haps with a few different canvas-
es."
Danielle LaMountain, a Studio
Art and Art History major who
concentrates on painting, says
that she can view Semergieff's
work from a painter's perspec-
tive. When first observing his
work she noticed how detailed
and unusual the landscapes are.
"They are a very unique por-
trayal of the Hudson Valley,'' she
explains.
Semergieff's landscape paint-
ings can be viewed in the Art
Gallery from the opening recep-
tion on March 29 until April 26.
The Gallery hours are Monday
through Friday, noon to
5
p.m.,
and Saturday, noon to 4 p.m.

Winter storm shortens nerves but extends Italian adventure
By
DANIELLE JOHNSTON
Circle
Contributor
Bright and early on March 17, a group of 28
Marist students and three adult chaperones awoke
to
catch a plane from Milan, Italy to JFK Airport in
Queens. When they got there, they learned that the
flight, along with hundreds of others, had been
canceled because of the snow storm that was hit-
ting New York. The trip was going to get a little
longer and possibly quite more hectic.
Bell Tower, and the Clock Tower. Time
was also
spent y.alking around the city; shopping in the
local stores and learning how to
use water buses.
Allison Bucci reflected on the city.
"Stepping off the EuroStar and seeing the
Grand
Canal in front of me with the bridges, shops,
lights,
and gondola rides, I fell in love with
Venice imme-
all over
the place to try and make accommodations
for them. The Delta
Airlines employees
were
working closely with LaMorte and Massie to try to
get the group
home as soon as possible. The trip
got even
more harrowing
when
Massie
was forced
to
leave
the group
so
that he could take his origi-
nally scheduled flight home from Portugal.
As part of the Marist Abroad Program, Rome,
Religion and the Vatican, the students left for
Romi
from JFK Airport on March
8
and arrived
safely in the breathtaking city. Once settled, the
students began to explore Rome with Timmian
Massie, the program director; Father Richard
LaMorte; and Sarah English, the director of hous-
ing.
'
Massie, who has spent a number of years in
Rome,
knew a great deal about the city. He used
his connections to get the students onto the most
exclusive tours of the ancient and holy landmarks.
Students were given time each day to go off and
explore on their own. No day was complete with-
out
at least one trip to a gelato stand to taste the fla-
vors and find the best place in Italy for this treat.
With the extra free time, some students went to
visit Ostia Antica and play in the ruins of the
ancient city while others went to visit the beach
and see the Mediterranean Sea. Both of these are
experiences that no student will soon forget.
A group travel to
Italy
for Marist Abroad's short-term program Rome, Rellgion and the Vatican.
The trip did not only go to Rome, but included a
day trip into Assisi, which was a favorite part of the
trip for many students.
Sophomore Alyssa
Brissette said, "For me Assisi was the ultimate
Italy. It is what I always thought Italy would look
like. Walking down cobblestone streets with flow-

diately."
Massie took the group from
Venice
to what was
supposed to be their final destination, Milan. The
students were given a tour of Milan that included a
,
trip to the Duomo and Castello Sforzesco. The
group spent the evening eating a
delicious
Italian
fe..1s1
.that "'.~ ~IJ.P.PJl_Seq. to be their farewell dit.mer.
LaMorte
was then forced to step up and handle the
affairs for the group, and he was in constant con-
tact with Jerre Thornton, the short term programs
coordinator.
After a few days in Rome, the group
journeyed
on to spend time in Venice. In Venice we visited
historical
landmarks like the Piazza San Marco, the

"I based mine

there will be approximately 125 Marist fashion students involved.
This will be the first year that all four class levels are participating
in the show. Previously the show just consisted of the senior show-
case. Richard Kramer, director of the fashion show, says that this
will benefit all classes.
"We find out that if they are associated with the show from the very
beginning, then µie senior year won't seem so scary."
The overall theme of the show is Fashion Takes Flight.

said. "But after hearing that there will be origami birds hanging over

Kristina Iacobucci is excited to have all her
hard work pay off.
"This is what we

Amanda Cassese, a senior design student,

"I'm here every day," she said. "Some days
I'm here for an hour and some I'm here for

break
up under any circumstances. This shot down
an
original plan of half of the group leaving from
Prague
and the other half leaving from Amsterdam.
Trouble getting groups back home is not a usual
occurrence for the short term programs. Only
one
other
time was a group detained from leaving, but
the situation was slightly different. On a January
trip to Ecuador, the students' plane in Quito was
grounded
because
of mechanical problems. The
gr~mp had to take a later flight to Gu~yaquil, stay
over, and fly back to
JFK
the following day.
The Italy group had no way of getting home
because the plane could not land in New York. The
weather pushed so many flights back that the group
was stranded in Italy until March 21.
"The weather caused a major inconvenience,"
Thornton said, "though that may not be a strong
enough word to use
because
of stress and problems
with the trip."
Now LaMorte and Thornton were forced to find
a hotel
to take in 30 people until the flight back.
Luckily Marist has an abroad program set up in
Florence, Italy. The abroad program showed the
students all the amazing sites of Florence. Jillian
McPhail, a sophomore on the program, said,
"Florence was a beautiful city, even though it
rained
almost everyday that we were there, but the
snow gave us a chance to experience another part
of Italy that we would not have been able to see
otherwise."
The group was able to bond together through this
ordeal. Christopher Waters, a sophomore, believes
that "through the tough time of missing home and
the stress of traveling, the bond grew among us to
raise
our
spirits and get us to smile once again."
Many o
_
f the friendships formed on this trip will
continue to last for the rest of the students' time at
Marist and possibly long after. Ten hours in an air-

"I'm really excited to see people's reactions," Wade said.
"Each piece must be red and based on a notorious person in histo-
ry," Kramer said.

decided upon whom to model her closing garment.

"Everyone thinks 'Oh, fashion fluff,"' he said. "Fashion students

"
Putting on a fashion show can be both an exciting and nerve-rack-
ing time. Kramer simply said the show "runs the gamut of emo-
tions."
Abby Wade, a senior design student, said she cannot wait to reveal
her work.
The Silver Needle Fashion Show will take place on Friday, April
27, at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. There will be two showings:
one at 2 p.m. followed by another at 7 p.m. Tickets for the show are
now available through Ticketmaster.
In the red classroom, one student yawned, appearing to be tired.
The show was rapidly approaching. She shook her head, rubbed her
eyes. Her hard work was far from finished

THE CIRCLE
Prempeh primed for pros, signs with agent
By
JOE FERRARY
Staff Writer
A.little
more
than a year ago,
I
had
the privilege
to
sit down with
Prince Prempeh, then
a
junior
wide receiver for Marist College.
After
that article was, written,
Prince had one of the best sea-
c;ons ever
fnr
a Red Fox receiver
.
Now the
6!A"
175.pollnd senior
wide receiv
·
er
from
Hamilton;
New Jersey is prepping for the
most important day in his foot-
ball career - the NFL Draft.
Prince said he thought
it
was
unlikely he would have an
opportunity like this when he
arrived at Marist.
"I
have been playing football
since the 2nd grade, but
I
did not
start to play wide_ receiver until
my senior year in high school,"
Prempeh said. "I simply looked
at college as
an
extension of my
high school football career, and
I
could keep playing for four more
years.
I
thought
I
had a slim
chance to be in the position
where
I
am today."
According to a variety of dif-
ferent NFL sites, Prempeh is not
projected to be drafted, but the
sites say that he should be invit-
ed to post draft camps.
College Career
As a freshman here at Marist,
Prince played in all
11
contests
for the Red Foxes, mostly on
special teams. He played wide
receiver in seven games, catch-
ing four passes for 51 yar~s and
his first collegiate touchdown.
He was the leading receiver for
Marist in the 56-28 loss at Sacred
Heart. He had two catches for 34
yards and I touchdown.
The 2004 season for Prince
showed some improvement as he
played in all IO games and fin-
ished the season with IO catches
for 118 yards and a
TD.
After implementing a new
offense following the 2004 sea-
son, Prince and the Red Foxes
offense exploded. Prince had his
best year at Marist during his
junior season. He finished the
season with 27 receptions for
361 yards and six touchdowns,
one off the Marist school record
of seven.
Coming
off of his best season
yet, Prince was poised to deliver
another
solid
season for the Red
Foxes, and he did. He finished
the season
as
Marist's leading
receiver, snagging 32
balls
for
655
yards
and
two
touchdowns.
But most
importantly, Prince
helped the
Red
Foxes to a share
of the MAAC championship.
Although his touchdown pro-
duction
from a year ago was
down, Prince said it should not
affect his draft status.
"l don't think that this
will
hurt
my draft status at all," Prempeh
said.
"Marist
is
an unknown
school where publicity is not that
large. So any positive publicity
is good."
Draft Prep
After the season ended for the
Red Foxes, the work did not stop
for Prempeh as he officially
began his workouts to prepare
for the NFL draft.
One of the first times he got to
show his stuff in front of scouts
came at the East Coast Bowl, an
all-star game held for the best
football players on the DI-AA
level. At the East Coast Bowl,
Prince performed in the combine
with the other players. He ran a
4.54 in the 40-yard dash and had
a 9' IO" in the broad jump.
While most students were at
home enjoying their winter
break, Prempeh was busy sign-
ing with
an
agent.
"During winter break,
I
did
sign with an agent," Prempeh
said. "Once
I
signed with an
agent he gave me a personal
trainer who developed a workout
plan to make me . faster and
stronger.
I
am in the gym 5-6
times a week, sometimes even
twice a day, in preparation for
the combine test."
The next step in the
draft
process was Pro Day, and
Prempeh has had twtl so far with
both going well.
"So
far
I
have
had two different Pro Days, one
at West Point and one at Albany,"
Prempeh said.
"I
ran
.
well at
both, but not my fastest. The Pro
Day's are good for me because
they give me more exposure, and
the scouts who are at the Pro
Day's spread their information
around with the rest of the
league, so that is good."
According to the website draft-
daddy.com, Prempeh improved
his nurtibers since his East Coast
Bowl combine. His best num-
bers from both pro days are 4.50
in the 40-yard dash, 35.5" verti-
cal, and a broad jump of IO' 4".
Also
according
to
draftdaddy
.com,
there were a
variety of
NFL
teams who went
to the Pro Days. The Giants,
Bears, Eagles and Packers were
some of the teams to attend the
West
Point
Pro
Day
while the
Packers and Colts attended the
Albany Pro Day.
Even if one of these teams does
not draft Prempeh on April 28th
or 29th, he will most likely get a
camp invitee, which he is happy
with.
"I
feel like
I
should be drafted,"
Prempeh
said. "I
~ould
make
the
team who drafts me even better.
If
I was a camp invitee,
I
would
take that too.
It
is a foot in the
door, and
I
would have to grind
to make the team."
However if the NFL does not
come calling for Prince, he
will
consider playing football else-
where.
"I would definitely play Arena
Football," Prince said.
"It is
becoming bigger and more popu-
lar, and it is a faster game, which
could help me out in the long
run
.
I
would most likely play in
the Canadian Football League
(CFL), but it is pretty cold up
there so
I will have to weigh my
options and I would play in NFL
Europe."
If
Prince had it his way, he
would love to play for his
favorite team, the New England
Patriots. Otherwise, he would
settle for the warm weather in
Miami and play for the Dolphins.

Cinderella
run ends,
but Marist puts up tremendous fight
By
CHRISTINA TORRES
Circle Contributor
Tennessee head coach Pat
Summit had not seen the Marist
women's team play all year until
the Red Foxes faced off against
Middle Tennessee for the right to
play the Lady Vols. All during
the game, she could not help but
notice that Marist head ·coach
Brian Giorgis looked strangely
familiar.
It turned out, as Giorgis
reminded Summit later on, that
Giorgis once visited Summit
while he was out on vacation.
"He came in and our reception-
ist sat down with him and he
started going through the scrap-
book," Summit said. ''Then I
came in and sat down and visited
with him for a while."
Giorgis, still a high school
coach in Poughkeepsie at
Our
Lady of Lourdes, decided to stop
by and have a casual meeting
with the legendary coach several
years ago.
No one would have ever
thought, said Summit, that the
next time these two coaches met
would be in the NCAA Sweet 16.
admiration for Summit and the
Tennessee women's basketball
program. Meg Dahlman, a jun-
ior on the team said she grew up
a huge fan of the Lady Vols
before coming to Marist.
"I loved them. I always hoped
we'd get to play against them,"
she said. "To play against a team
that you've idolized since ele-
mentary school -
that's a great
experierce. I was a little star-
struck when I first saw Pat, but I
toned it down," she said.
Starstruck as Dahlman and the
Red Foxes may have been, they
did not back down in the region-
al
semi-final
on
Sunday.
Heading into the game, the Red
Foxes were focused, especially
senior Alisa Kresge, who said in
a press conference before the
game that the Red Foxes were
approaching this game like any
other.
"You need to forget the name
on the jersey," she said. "You just
go out and know what they do
best and play like you're playing
any other team."
Though things did not work out
as the Red Foxes had planned,
Marist kept fighting.
quit and gotten spanked in the
second half, but they made some
adjustments. They were still div-
ing for loose balls, and I couldn't
be
more proud of them," he said
.
Tennessee led by as much as
26,
,
and other teams the Lady
Vols played this year would have
given up at that point, according
to Tennessee player Alexis
Hornbuckle.
"There were a lot of teams that
when we got ahead, they might
quit or not put forth their best
effort. Marist didn't quit. They
play with a lot of heart," she said
.
Since the team never quit, nei-
ther did the Marist fans. Some
journeyed out on a 10-hour
drive, and some took a charter
flight arranged by the school.
The fans arrived with signs that
said "BELIEVE MARIST," but
unfortunately, by the time they
were able
to
file into the stadium
after their flight was delayed;
Tennessee had already taken
charge of the game.
But even with their team down
by an insurmountable margin,
the fans still cheered with vigor,
sb~wing just how much they
love their team, according to
Dahlman.
end of the game, Marist fans
chanted, "We still love you."
This chant is indicative of the
kind of support Marist fans have
shown all year.
"Unbelievable ... they've been
fantastic all year," Giorgis said.
