New ID

By

Circle
Contributor
At Marist, the use of social
security numbers as personal
identifiers is a thing of the past.
The
Campus
Wide
Identification Project has given
students, faculty, and staff mem-
bers their own identification
numbers used to store schedules,
grades, and other personal infor-
mation

The new CWID is intended to

will now only be used for docu-
ments like transcripts, W2 forms,
and financial aid paperwork.

store grades, schedules, financial

When students have to contact
the Registrar's Office, Student
Financial Service, Housing, or
Advising, they will able to pres-
ent their new numbers.
The system that captures and
stores priority points for student
housing was converted in
January while the Human

college for employees'

Seniors
future
By
JOANNA BIRON
Circle Contributor
As final exams are rapidly
approaching, it is time for grad-
uating seniors to start looking to
their futures beyond Marist
College. Some individuals have
already taken the initiative of
contacting alumni, applying for
jobs, and going on interviews.
For others, it is time for a differ-
ent ~pe of college experience:
graduate school.
For some seniors, graduate
school is the start of their quest
for an advanced degree. The
decision to attend graduate
school is only the first step in
what may seem to be a long, and
at times frustrating, journey.
"Applying
to graduate school
can
be
an
overwhelming
process. Starting early
will
ensure that you can co1.1plete all
pieces of the application to the
best of your
ability,"
said Rachel
Patterson, a senior Public
Relations major.
There are many different
aspects to consider when decid-
ing on whether to go to graduate
school,
and if so, where to go.
"In
·
some fields, such as busi-
ness,
graduate
·
schools much
prefer that the
applicant
have
acquired at least a few years of
experience
in the target field,"
said Pat Taylor, the
graduate
school and fellowship
advisor
at
Marist.
Taylor·
said one of the key
points to remember is "Never
,
never apply to
graduate
school
because you haven't figured out

Toe room of normally rowdy
college students was silent as
white-haired
Dr. Bruria Bodek-
Falik began her
story.
"I'll take you on a very short
journey, that's memory lasts for a
long tim
e -
a lifetime," she said.
Her story is similar to millions
of other people and yet rarely
told. She was a Jew during the
Holocaust. She is a
survivor.
Bodek, a Woodstock resident,
was the keynote
speaker
at the
17th Annual Marist College
Holocaust Remembrance cere-
mony, a program that has had a
different
speaker
come
each year
to Marist.
Called
"A Survivor's
Stpry," it was held Wednesday
,
April 18 at
7:00
p.m. The theme
was,
"'Never
Again!' Must Mean
Never Again for All People."
Professor
Steve
Sansola was the
co-chair
of
Holocaust
Remembrance
committee.

because they have a
strong
and
powerful message- a first hand
experience,"
he said. When pos-
sible, they try to find local peo-
ple who are
survivors,
like
Bodek.
"We feel it is
important
to wit-
ness the vivid
link
to the past that
can
only
be seen in the person
of
someone who
actually
was there
and suffered the dehumanizing
horrors of the Holocaust," said
co-chair
Dr. Joshua Kotzin.
"It
is
our hope that
experiencing
the
past in this way will make Marist
a more tolerant alld humane
place,
free
from prejudice and
hatred of all kinds."
Sansola
explained
that they try
to involve
community
members,
faculty, staff and
students
in the
planning and development
of
the
remembrance program. He said
it 1s a
collaborative effort
between
student affairs, campus
dining
,
the music department,
college
activities,
the
communi-
ty,
the academic VP office, the
president's
office,
and campus
ministry.
This
year
the program included
readings by students,
a choral
performance
by
the women
Singers
,
and a candle lighting
ceremony.
President
Dr.
Dennis Murray
began the program by
asking
for
a moment of
silence
to remem-
ber those
faculty
and students
who lost their lives in the recent
Virginia
Tech
massacre.
Murray described the
goal
of
the annual program.
"We're
here to make sure that
another
generation
of
students
know what occurred and make
sure it doesn't happen again," he
said. He went on to
say
that the
purpose of the night was not only
to remember those who died, but
also
to
focus
on the
conditions
surrounding
their deaths includ-
ing
"irrational
hatred and big-
otry."
.
Sansola said the program has
received
good support from
school
and
the president. He said
that that Murray has

most, if not all of the programs
he has been here for and that he
tealizes the importance of the
message.
M).UTay reminded the audience
of the statistics surrounding the
event,
making them realize how
lu
cky
they were to have
a
sur-
vivor
to
speak
to them, because
each year there are fewer people
who can bear witness.
"Six million Jews were mur-
.
dered just because they were
Jews," he said. He went on to
remind the audience that 1 mil
-
lion
people
of other backgrounds
were also murdered,
including
Jehovah's Witnesses,
gypsies,
gays,
l
esbians,
and the mentally
and physically disabled.
This number can seem stagger-
ing
and
intangible for students.
Knowing this, Bodek said right
from the beginning,
"I
would
like to concentrate on areas
you
can relate to."

self-described
"happy-go-lucky

Seniors Kristina Cioni and Megan
Kearney collaborated on a project
exploring the market for light beer in
Europe, a project idea they developed
from their experiences abroad.
They
explored the viability of American light
beer in competition against the darker,

"We're trying to better the English
society by offering a lighter beer option
that doesn't currently exist for their
binge drinking so they will not get fat,"
said Kearny.

The Foxmai

will be addressed this summer, according
to DePue.
Students were notified last December
via email to explain the changes that are
taking place in the system.

John T. Gildard, the college's director
of safety and security, said that his
department was notified by Information
Technology about the project because
they print out the ID cards for the stu-

The security department has the
machine that makes the ID cards and has
been notified about the changes within
the identification system.

twelve year old," when her
life started to change. She
lived in Hungary, and when
the Nazis took control, she
no longer could go to school
or travel. Her father was soon
arrested because he was not a
Hungarian citizen because
his parents were not born
there.
"The Iron Cross focused on
ones without citizenship,"
she said. Her father was
eventually killed. Her mother
is still alive today, and is
almost
99
years old.
Her mother was pregnant at
the time and taking care of
6
young children when they
were forced to join their
grandparents.
"One morning, we woke up
and we see, next to the well,
3
armored men," she said.
"They
told the adults they
were there to guard them
...
That was the beginning of
the transportation."
They
were only able to take
enough belongings for one
hand, and were driven by
horse and buggy to a
Hungarian ghetto.
Here, she would always
bring her sick
grandfather
her warm milk at night.
To
do this, she had to dodge the
circulation light that was
searching for
escapees.
"I
knew I would fight it by
them not catching me," she
said.
Bodies were piling up
where they were walking
everyday.
"Sometimes
you get
blind-
ed against
horrible things
that
can really
destroy
you,"
she said.
When her mother's newest
baby died, there of
course
would be no funeral, but her
mother could not accept or
understand that. A young
rabbi helped them under-
stand that their situation
could not change, but that
they could do certain things
to make it better.
About 34 of them lived in
small barn a straw-covered
floor. A woman outside of the
camp would
secretly
bring
her family
supplies
for the
baby (in the early months)
and her mom. Bodek under-
stood that this woman was
risking her life.
She said that she feels
lucky to have only suffered
for one year and that there is
nothing to
complain
about
compared to others.
In the
winter,
they were ran-
domly
selected
to
go
to a
special camp, which
ensured
they were not killed. The
Swiss had made a dea
l
with
the Germans in which they
provided them with trucks
and medicine in order to
keep the Jews alive.
At Bergin-Belsen they
got
care packages, and on the
holidays they
got
ham. This
would have been a great
treat, but they were a
ll
kosher
and weren't
supposed
to eat
it. Their
grandfather
told
them that they must eat it.
They made a commitment to
live so they could be free one
day.
"Every time the British air
force flew over, we knew,
one day they would free us,"
Bodek
said.
One day, a
parachuter fell
to the
camp.
They hid him
within the
prisoners,
dressing
him in prisoners'
clothes,
and
he told them that the war was
almost over.
She said that the Germans
asked some of them
to
leave
the camp before
it
was liber-
ated. She
convinced
her
fam-
ily to get out and they
were
sent on a train. They
found
out that the plan
was to take
them to an extermination
camp but it had
already
been
liberated. Their next plan
was to blow up a bridge
with
train on
it,
which would
also
prevent allied forces
to
·cross
the river.
She
smiled.
"All of a sudden, on
the
hill, we saw American
sol-
diers," she said. They
were
afraid to come down
in
fear
of the possibility of Nazis
hiding or
disease
among the
prisoners
.
Insiead,
they
rolled the food down the hill.
"I
learned in

in
a can,"
she joked.
The soldiers
eventually
came down with medics
and
people,
including
her
grand-
father,
were taken
to hospi-
tals.
"It
was a
glorious
day-
I'll
never forget it," she said.
She
wiped
her
eyes.
"I've
made
friends
with my
past ... There
is

past,"
she
said.

"Living

ended by saying,
"Have

was

During this session, she
told
the
story of how her job

her. She
had planned

that

children, most of whom
were Holocaust survivors.

later

hospital.
After reading
a Freud book, she realized

VA tragedy brings light to gun laws, social messages
By
JENNA McCRORY
Staff Writer
Why
are we
turning on
one
another in the
United States?
Other
countries like Sudan
and
the Darfur
region
are facing daily
mass killings by their
own
gov-
ernments like the Janja weed
militias, and we have the nerve
to pull a trigger on own
our
own
neighbors?
·
The people in Darfur are hud-
dling together and would do any-
thing to hold on to a brother or
sister. We have it so good here,
yet we have made it so bad.
Why?
Some people blame
gun
control
and say we need stricter security
laws. Others are saying more
relaxed laws would provide for
an equal defense mechanism. I
think they are both fabulous
ideas.
On one side we have it so peo-
ple will start killing each other in
the most extreme ways- I'm just
waiting for the mad scientist stu-
dent to create a toxin and release
into classrooms killing everyone.
People are going to find ways to
kill each other if they really want
to. A student could bring in a
knife from mom's kitchen drawer
and just start slashing people,
or
drive a car straight into hundreds
of students.
On the other side, if we loosen
up laws it;s going to be a shoot-
ing free-for-all. Kids are going to
have to start wearing bullet proof
vests to school, and life will
become more like those violent
video games they all play. Well,
that may be a bit extreme, but the
point is that
gun
control is not the
issue.
·
I
blame social pressures of a
capitalist society. Last spring,
I
studied a semester abroad in
Ecuador.
I
would ride buses in
the rainforest with people hold-
ing two-foot long machetes. If
they had wanted, they could eas-
ily have machete duals or a late-
night brigade against the people
they don't like; but they don't.
Why is that? Why can they have
weapons and not kill each other
and Americans don't even have
full access to weapons yet we
still find ways to kill
our
peers.
I guess a life in the rainforest
isn't filled with the social pres-
sures we have in the US. They
don't have to worry about being
fashionable, what kind of car to
drive or how to consolidate loans
for school. These people's lives
revolve
around
sustenance.
Electricity is not a
necessity;
cell
phones and computers are
unheard of. So, what does one
need money for? There is no race
to get to the top. Get to the top of
what-the canopy?
Obviously we cannot go back-
wards in time and live like they
do in
.
the rainforest, but we can
make changes within our society
to help.
Media is a powerful medium
and is at the forefront of sending
social messages. Why can't we
use this medium more as a tool to
help breakdown these taxing
pressures we face. Students from
an early age need to be taught
that media is not reality.
People like Seung-Hui Cho,
who killed 32 people in the
Vrrginia Tech shooting, are clear-
ly not mentally stable. Media and
our capitalist society toys with
these people's minds. They don't
know how to interpret these mes-

pressure on herself to have only
the latest fashions. In her eyes,
money and name brand items are
all that matter. What is even

sages from the media.
Back in high school, I had a
friend who had Down syndrome.
She construed the messages that
she saw on television about pop-
ularity to mean that she needed
to be popular
.
She would call and
tell me how she got new shoes
and then she would ask me if
these shoes would make her pop-
ular? I tried to teach her differ-
ently, but her mind just did not
understand.
worse is her five year old sister
cries before going to school
because she doesn't like her new
clothes because they are not
name brands
.
We start at an early age inter-
preting these messages from the
media
.
When we get older, we
should be able to understand that
not all these messages are reality.
We should know that wearing the
latest fashion does not make you
a better person than the person
who
cannot
afford
it.
Unfortunately we should know,
but we all do not. However, it's
not always our fault.
Our society needs
some
guid-
ance. We need media to step up
and use its force to convey alter-
native messages. We have
all
these reality shows that have
people going from rags to riches,
and then all of a sudden they
seem so much happier. Why can't
we have a show where the poor
man or poor woman is happy?
So why do we kill
one
another
over these things? Is it because
we have too much freedom to
buy guns?
Or
is it because we all
are victims of powerful social
messages?
f
don't think anyone is sure of
the definite problem. But alterna-
tive media programming and
teaching our youth and even col-
lege students how to fight these
social pressure could be a start to
recreating the violent American
image that puts our society at
risk.

Christians that take a literal
interpretation of the Bible.
These "Christians" vote
-
for and
financially support decision
makers that act in perverse, open
defiance of Christian values
,
essentially insult the integrity
and humanity of their con-
stituency (sometimes not even
subtly)
,
and betray the demo-
cratic values upon which this
nation was founded. In his com-
mitment to serve the will of
Christ
,
our Commander in Chief
has seen fit to reinterpret the
laws of war and enable his
troops to torture prisoners held
without trial, prioritize the cor-
porate elite's ability to make
record-breaking profits before
the safety of m
i
litary servicemen
in
.
cqmbat
,
and place public
health in grave danger with
political decisions that con-
sciously jeopardize the safety
and security of us all. The God
that George W. Bush worships is
the God that hates religious free-
dom, is indifferent to the suffer-
ing and misery of the world's
poor, and has vociferous con-
tempt for the will of the com-
mon people.
The God that
George W. Bush worships can
be none but himself.
Because of his leadership, the
disparity between the way the
world perceives the United
States and the way the United
States perceives itself has grown
to an irreconcilable extent, and it
continues to grow still.
The
larger it becomes, the less hope
that peaceful intercultural dia-
logue offers for stability and
prosperity.
As our isolation
escalates, the viability of options
other than war steadily diminish;
at its pinnacle, isolation endows
war as self-justifying and cyclic
in nature.
This pattern is observable in
history; Thucydides' historical
account attributes the fall of
· Athens to the very same phe-
nomena that we witness in our
own culture at present.
The
tyranny of the Athenian state
became so pervasive externally
that it began to spread internally.
The toxicity of imperial ambi-
tions has turned on itself and the
parasite will eventually destroy
its host. The wars our govern-
ment fights target enemies of
many sorts, in many places, at
many mediums of engagement.
Counted among this country's
enemies in the war on terror are
its own people, an odd attribute
to be found in a democracy
.
The
Mffit~ns
A.ct::the
usf#~OT Act
,
and flagrant
•
abuses
of
the
Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act are
evidence of this government's
bitter contempt for the principles
of democra~ic freedom and its
associated processes and prac-
tices
.
That the common people
are dissuaded from practicing
their constitutionally-guaranteed
civil rights and the persistent
few that do so anyway are
demonized by those in power
was characteristic, I'd imagine,
of every democracy-turned-
tyranny in the past, just before
its collapse. Evidence of this is
clear and abundant enough
,
but
unfortunately we live in an age
where facts fail to hold the inter-
est of the people they most dras-
tically affect. A saddening truth
of these wars we fight is the bulk
of the price will be shouldered
by those least fitted to pay it.
Those most ardently supportive
of the Iraq war are most often
those from whom nothing has
been asked in sacrifice, just
complicity and lethargy
.
With these frightening truths in
mind, I observe the recent activ-
ity in congress, the endless
rounds of do-nothing dialogue,
and become skeptical of their
motives
.
Hope is easily lost
when introduced to reality. At
what point will leaders take ini-
tiative, resolve the conflict, and
bring our young men and
women home from the morass?
At what point are we obligated
to take matters into our own
hands, follow our government's
example, and pursue our goals
by means of force? Can we take
up arms, or ought we just stand
by as our troops, those Bush
says we must "support", contin-
ue to die of his arrogan<!t! 'and
indifference?

Thinking about ~taring your stuff?
Many places off er student discounts
By
CAITLIN QUINN
Circle Contributor
The end of the spring semester signals a time
to prepare for long drives home with carloads of
dorm-gear, but for some students, the trip back for
summer will include an uncharacteristically light
load.
These students have chosen to leave many of
their belongings in Poughkeepsie
(Salt Point
Turnpike,
and another
on Route
~5),
but
not many Marist students. The All Space
on Salt
Point Turnpike is only five
minutes
from the
Marist campus.
"We get a lot of students from the Culinary
at
our Salt Point location
because
we are right
across
the street. On Route
55 we see a lot of Vassar stu-
dents."
Elizabeth Shaw, a sophomore Education major,
said she had never stored her dorm furniture or

dance of storage units in the area,
and choosing to return with a
clearer rearview mirror, sans
U-
Haul.
Francesca Mazzamuto, a junior
Public Relations major, stores
many of her belongings for the
summer.
"It's just easier to leave
behind the stuff that I won't use,"
she said. "It's not that expensive
The benefits of storing
your bulky belongings
or extra possessions
can help make the end
of
.the
year a little less
stressful.
"I don't live too far, so I
usu-
ally bring all my
things
home,"
she said. "I would think
about
storing it though, since I probably
only
use
half of it or
less during the
summer.
It might
be nice not to have to drag it
all
home, and then turn around
and
and it's a nicer drive without
packing my car to the brim. My- parents suggested
it my freshman year, and now that I drive back
alone it's nice to not have so much to worry about."
Within a 15 minute radius, there are at least
three storage facilities that Marist students could
utilize: Guardian Storage, on Route
9
in Hyde
Park; All Space, on Salt Point Turnpike in
Poughkeepsie; and Raia Storage, on South Road
in Poughkeepsie. Rich Basanz, of All Space, said
that most storage facilities have summer specials
just for college students.
"We have four-month specials for students,
most of which
run
May to ~~pte!111?~.r:
We
fWl.
don't charge for a reservation or a deposit," he
said. "Most places have packages that allow stu-
dents to get a space at a discounted price."
Student specials at All Space start at $200 for
four months, which includes all fees.
Basanz estimates that All Space alone sees
about 50 or 60 students between their two sites
come back with it all only a few
months later."
Because
storage facilities in
this area have a large student
base
for business,
Basanz recommends calling and making a reserva-
tion before the semester comes to a close,
because
student rates may not apply as spaces fill up.
Mazzamuto says the benefits of storage help
make the end of the year a little less stressful.
"It's already a hectic time of year and worry-
ing a little less about whether or not everything is
going to fit in the car is nice," she added.
All of the area storage facilities have security
systems in place and also offer humidity-controlled
spaces. Basanz says that many students find the
smallest uuits

Some on-campus jobs prove· to
be entry-level career starters
By
CINDIE PALUMBO
Circle
Contributor
As Senior Commencement draws near, some sen-
iors may have their post-graduation plans laid out,
but others
might be
wondering where life will take
.
them
once
they've tossed their caps.
If
history is
any indication, some of those new Marist alumni
might end
up back
at the beginning, working for
their alma mater.
Professor Gerry McNulty is the director of
the
Communications Internship Program, and has
held
that position since 1996. Twenty years before that,
however, he was a freshman living in Champagnat
Hall.
"I can't help remembering my student days when
I walk around the campus," he said. "Back in those
days, most of us stayed in our dorms for three or
even four years."
Today, students aren't lucky enough to spend
three years in Champagnat, but they share at least
one thing
in
common with former students: they
need to earn a living after graduation
.
To McNulty, working at Marist was never
thought of as an option. "I never thought back then
that I would ever teai.:h at Marist," he said. But he
would "absolutely encourage students to consider
working for Marist someday. It's a great place to
work in many ways."
There are Marist alumni disguised as faculty
members all over campus. Bob Lynch, director of
college activities, graduated from Marist in 1975.
Kate Crisafi, a mentor in Champ;1gnat, was part of
the Class of 200 I and returned to Marist this past
year after teaching at Arlington High School after
graduation. Some alumni
start
working
at
Marist
directly after gradua
t
ion, such as Meagan
Donoghue, assistant
director
of admissions.
Donoghue graduated last spring and started work-
ing in Admissions shortly afterward.
Arny Woods is the Executive Director of Alumni
Relations, and also graduated from Marist in 1997 .
Woods didn't see herself working at Marist "until
senior year when I was interning in the Admissions
Office. I most
likely
assumed I would end up back
in Colllle~ticut working somewhere."
"Most of the jobs that I applied for after gradua-
tion were in college admissions or public rela-
tions,'' she said. "I kept hoping all
summer that
a
position would open in the Marist Admissions
Office, and one finally
did
in October of 1997."
Many current students already
hold
various on-
campus jobs. Cristina Capasso, a -sophomore,
works in
the
bookstore, as a tour guide, and as a
peer tutor.
"Marist seems like it would be a great place to
work," she said. "I wouldn't want
to
spend
my life
as a tour guide, of course, but
it's
a great environ-
ment
for a career after graduation."
Some of the faculty members feel they have a dif-
ferent relationship with
the
campus because they
were undergraduates
here
as well.
"There is a different connection for many of us
who are alwns," McNulty said.
"It's safe to say that I have
the
ability to identify
with Marist students," said Wood. "Although, I'm
sure some Marist staff, who are not alumni but
,have worked here for 20 years, can say the same."

Student crooners embrace a rare chance to 'just sing'
By
ALEXANDRIA BRIM
Staff Writer
On Monday, April 23, 2007, a special perform-
,
ance was held in the Performing Arts Room (PAR).
Marist Theatre
sponsored "A
Bunch of Songs and
a Couple of Girls," a Cabaret style act. Junior Ryan
Defoe performed a varied selection of songs,
including some of his own arrangements, with the
vocal help of fellow Junior Katie McSherry and
Sophomore Caryn Shatraw.
"It was just fun to sing," McSherry said. "There's
not a lot of opportunities to just sing. I'm a siriger;
I love it passionately."
Matt Andrews, associate professor of English and
theater, welcomed the small crowd that filled the
PAR before introducing Defoe. From there, the
night was all about one guy, two girls and a bunch
of songs. The audience enjoyed the variety, from
upbeat songs to the softer ballads. Some of these
songs drew some tears from the audience.
Tears also came from Liz Toleno, the pianist.
Toleno has served
as
a musical director for Marist
Theatre. She met Defoe during "Godspell" back in
2005 and again at "Cabaret" this past February.
Defoe played Ernest Ludwig in the musical while
McSherry ~as Fraulein Kost. Last year, Defoe
directed
_
MCCTA's production of"Songs for a New
World" featuring both McSherry and Shatraw.
"We met at Godspell," Toleno said. "During the
breaks, he would sit at the piano and play. We
.
had
the same taste in music."
"ije's a special young man," she added. "And he
had the best two girl singers b~cking
him
up."
Defoe also played the piano for some of the
songs,
including
Shatraw's
rendition
of
"Somewhere
Over the Rainbow" and McSherry's
version of John Lennon's
"Imagine."
In
between
songs, Defoe would tell little stories or dedicate
songs to certain people. One poignant dedication
went to a former dance teacher of his who had
passed on a few years ago .
.
Also accompanying the singers on the dnuns was
freshman Tyler Smith.
"This was all about Ryan," said Smith.
"I
was
very honored to be asked to play. This was an
amazing experience."
"Ryan
picked a great mix of songs," Toleno
added. "The timing for this was really good."
Defoe's performance proved he was on his way
to bigger and better things, a bright future. The
same was true of McSherry and Shatraw. Defoe
was also a
talented
arranger as well as aspiring
songwriter.
"The
songs that he wrote ... it was great to hear
them," Toleno said.
"He's
a
very talented
man."
The act gave students a break to just sit back and
listen to good music performed by their own talent-
ed
classmates.
Final papers, exams, presentations
and the like were forgotten as a night breeze blew
in and mingled with the melodies hanging in the
air.
"Any
time
I can just get together and
rock
out,
it's great," McSherry said.
A cappella group Time Check to put out fifth recording May 4
By
CINDIE PALUMBO, COURTNEY SAVOIA,
AND MICHAEL VENEZIANO
Circle Contributors
All eleven members of Time Check, Marist's
male a
cappella
group, gathered in the Music
Department, preparing to rehearse. Members greet-
ed each other before getting into a circle to warm-
up their
voices.
Each exercise was led by the direc-
tor and a critique was
given
afterwards. Members
offered each other advice about being on pitch and
getting the songs right.
Time Check will put.out their fifth CD on May 4,
2007, which is
something
the group does every two
years. Over the course of these two years, the
group holds
various
fundraisers to help pay for
recording
the CD, which will be on sale to Marist
students for approximately ten dollars. Steve
Cubbellotti, Director of Time Check, explained the
recording process.
"The recording process is easy but tedious," he
said. "We'll record as a group then record each part
separately with them listening to the group as a
whole. This gives us a lot more freedom to do what
we want with a song."
The CD will feature a wide range of songs, from
1960's Doo-Wop to contemporary hits.
"As the group grows and changes, our sound

Cubbellotti.
"I'm always optimistic, so I think this

will be the best we've ever made!"
There are a few requirements in order to become
a member cif Time Check.
Eddie Storey, the
Assistant Director, explained how new members
are chosen.
"You don't necessarily have to
learn
to read music
to join; many members play piano and can learn by
hearing the
sounds,"
he said. "An
audition
is
required and hopefuls audition over the course of
two days."
"The audition process involves
scales, arpeggios,
repeating back a series of
intervals,
testing range,
and a song that .the a\.lditionee picks. It's
really
an
idea of their quality and musical knowledge and
experience. Next we have
call-backs
where
we
test
the
speed at
which they pick up the music
and their
blend with the
current
group."
The
group
rehearses three times
a week for an
hour and a half to two hours
each time.

"The parts that make up an a cappella group are
pretty basic," he said.
"There

Women's lacrosse bounces back and beats Siena
By
MATT SPILLANE
Staff
Writer
The Marist women's lacrosse
team completed its best regular
season in program history on
Sunday, April 22, with a 19-10
victory at Siena. The Red Foxes
posted a team record
9
wins, fin-
ishing the regular season at 9-5
overali and
5-2
in the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC).
Coming off
a
tough, one goal
loss to conference rival Le
Moyne, the Red Foxes were able
to
rebound
and secure the third
seed in the MAAC Tournament
this weekend at Iona College.
'l;hey will play second-seeded
Fairfield in the semifinals on
Jtnday. The winner will play in
the championship later that day
against the no. one seed Le
¥oyne or the no. four seed
Manhattan.
The game against Siena was
good preparation for the upcom-
ing MAAC Tournament, as more
offense and were given opportu-
nities to contribute. Eight players
scored goals for Marist, with six
of them tallying at least two
goals apiece.
With offensive talents such as
freshman Liz Falco and juniors
Lindsey
Diener
and
Ali
Camabuci garnering most of the
attention lately, Coach Noelle
Cebron said that the Siena game
allowed other players to show-
case their skills.
"Other girls
can
score," Cebron
said.
"If
other teams focus on
Falco and Diener, other girls can
step up. We have a deep attack."
Freshman Lindsay Rinefierd
tied Carnabuci with a game-high
four goals, while sophomores
Cristin Begley and Carolyn
Sumcizk notched two goals each.
Sophomore Stephanie Garland
and freshman Nicole Musto each
scored a goal. Falco and Diener
had their usual strong outings,
producing three and two goals,
respectively.
Cebron said that the team needs
players got involved in the everyone
to
raise their level of
play heading into the postseason.
"We want seven girls who can
put the ball in the cage," she said.
"We need a full team effort, with
every one contributing."
Marist opened up the scoring
with unassisted goals by
Diener
and Falco in the first three min-
utes, but Siena struck back with
three goals over the next four
minutes. Siena attacker Ryan
Tierney gave her team its first
lead of the game by making it 3-
2
with 23: 18 left in the first half.
The teams traded a pair of goals
to make it a 5-4 Siena lead with
14:46
remaining in the first half.
It would be the Saints' last lead
of the game,

have to work hard at it. Last sea-

"We're
not going into this
weekend expecting to win, we're
going into it really wanting to
win and with the confidence that
if we put together all the hard
work we have done so far, we
can come away with our second
MAAC Championship title. But
we have to put it together. Our
work isn't done yet, and hopeful-
ly it isn't done after this week-
end, either."
This weekend is all that matters
now, and Barnett feels that a
strong fan tum-out could be a
major help since the champi-
onship tournament is being held
in their home pool.
''None of it [the regular season
wins] counts if we don't win the
games this weekend," Barnett
said. "Our whole season rests on
this weekend, so we have to win.
It
was great being regular season
MAAC champions, but we want
to go all the way and win the
MAAC Championships.
Marist enters the tournament as
the top seed for the first time in
history and will face no. 4 seed
Villanova in the semifinals on
Sat. at 3 p.m. The Foxes are in
search of their second straight
MAACcrown.
Rinefierd sparked the run with
10: 17
remaining in the first
half
off an assist from Diener. Siena
did not score again until the
15:48
mark in the
second
half,
but by then Marist was ahead 15-
7
and the game was out of reach.
Cebron explained how her
squad was able to reel off the 9-0
run
that buried the Saints.
"We steered the girls in the
right direction," she said.
"They
knew what was at stake, and they
knew they could win if they
played their game."
Cebron also noted the team's
defense as playing a key role in
the victory. Junior
Liz
Burkhard
made 11 saves, and the defenders
in front of her held Siena attack-
er Christina Pampalone to zero
points. Pam pal one, Siena's all-
time leader in goals, had her 23
game point-scoring streak bro-
ken by the Red Foxes.
Cebron acknowledged that her
goalie and defenders do not
always get the recognition they
deserve, with the offensive stars
garnering the most attention.
"I've
been pressing the defense
to step up," she said.
"Burkhard
has become a more vocal
leader,
which has helped her play better
in
the cage and her defenders
play better
in
front of
her."
Cebron said that
her
team
was
excited about a rematch
with
Fairfield
in
the
MAAC
Tournament,
a team they
lost
to
15-14
earlier in the season.
"We
let our guard down
against
Fairfield," she said.
"We
came
out flat, with no energy. This
time we
have to
come out
pumped, on top of our game."
She said her team expects to
play much better this time, and
that they will be better. prepared.
"They
have
.
had some other
girls step up since our game
against them, so we'll be ready
for that," Cebron said.
"We
know
that we are a better all-around
team. What we've done
so
far is
just the tip of the
iceberg;
we're
still putting it all together."
The Red Foxes face off against
Fairfield on Friday at Iona
College in New Rochelle,
NY.
Senior Travis Musolf sparked the Marist offense, batting 7-for-15, with
one home run and six RBIs as Marist swept a series from Iona.
Jasper Juggernaut halts Foxes
By
NATE
FIELDS
Staff Writer
For the fourth consecutive sea-
son, the Marist men's tennis team
faced Manhattan in
the
Metro
Atlantic Athletic
Conference
(MAAC)
finals, and for the
fourth consecutive season, the
Foxes lost.
After a strong start
in
doubles
action against the
Jaspers
last
Sunday, Marist could not gain a
singles
victory
and dropped the
title contest 4-1. Though the
Foxes came up short, head coach
Tim Smith was optimistic fol-
lowing the
loss.
"I'm
very happy with the
way
our team played," Smith said.
"Lots
of times people think you
haven't done well if
you
don't
win. I'm a
realist,
and I know
when we play well and
when
we
don't. We played very
well,
we
just got beat by a team that was
better."
Given the two teams' recent
history, Smith knew
coming
into
the weekend
that
the Jaspers
would likely be
the
Foxes oppo-
nent should they make it that far.
Preparation was not enough to
stop the Jasper juggernaut, how-
ever.
The Foxes captured the dou-
bles point by sweeping all three
matches. Senior
journeyman
Pedro Genovese and freshman
import
Loic
Sessagesimi
claimed
victory
at
first
doubles
8-4.
Senior Ray Josephs and jun-
ior Greg Marks posted an 8-6
win at second doubles, and sen-
ior Federico Rolon and
freshman
Christian
Coley won third
dou-
bles, 8-5.
That was
where the
Marist
vic-
tories ended
however,
as
the
Jaspers took over
in
singles play.
Manhattan
was victorious in
first, third, fourth and sixth
sin-·
gles, and those four
points
earned
the
Jaspers an
automatic
victory.
Second and sixth
sirigles
were not
completed
once
the
other
singles
matches
decided
the outcome.
Even
in
defeat, Coach
Smith
praised his players'
efforts.
"I
was
particularly pleased
with
the play of our number
2,
Loic
[Sessagesimi],
who
was
ahead 5-0 in the third set, when
they stopped
the
match,"
Smith
said. "I
thought Loic, Greg
Marks and Ray Josephs all
played
to
their
potential."
The
Foxes
rolled over Loyola
and
Niagara to
reach the title
game for the ninth
consecutive
season,
defeating
the
Greyhounds 7-0 on
Friday
and
Purple
Eagles
4-0
on Saturday.
Despite the disappointing
fin-
ish, the
forward
thinking Smith
was quick to poi~t

earned victories in first and sec-
and earning Marist a number one
ond doubles to earn the sole dou- · seed entering the MAAC tourna-

and sixth singles matches were
not played because with Marist's
domination, the outcome of the
match had already been deter-
mined.
The standout player for the Red
Foxes was junior Christine Ong,
who was named the MAAC tour-
nament's most valuable player.
She earned a 6-0, 6-0 shutout
victory over Niagara's Vanja
Lakic in first singles to give
Marist an early 2-0 lead. She also

and 6-0 conference record during

Sunday's championship match

easily earned the doubles point
by winning their two doubles
matches. Ong and Strange took
the first doubles match and the
second junior Erin Godly, and
Cassie's sister, Alexa Strange
won the second, to go out to an
early 1-0 lead.
The Foxes then won three con-

won the first, followed by Alexa
Strange who earned a 6-2, 6-0

title was then clinched with a 6-

defeated Niagara's Julianne
Prokopich at third singles to send
the Marist women's tennis team
to its first NCAA tournament.
The championship victory
moved Marist to 13-1 on the sea-

Peterson pitches gem to clinch sweep
By
GREG HRINYA
Staff
Writer
After assembling a record of 7-
21 in the team's first 28 games,
the Marist Red Foxes have sud-
denly won four in a row after a
weekend in which the pitching
and hitting were both clicking on
all cylinders
.
The Red Foxes improved their
record to 7-7 in the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
[MAAC] and 11.a.21 overall with
a sweep of the Iona Gaels, which
was capped off with an impres-
sive 8-0 win at Salesian Field in
New Rochelle, N.Y. on Apr. 22.
While the bats remained hot
after a doubleheader sweep on
Saturday, Marist rode an out-
standing performance from start-
ing pitcher Stephen Peterson on
Sunday. The freshman pitched
eight scoreless innings, allowing
just three hits, and two walks as
he cruised to his first career vic-
tory.
Red shirt senior Mike
Puckli finished the game with a
scoreless ninth
inning
to pre-
serve the shutout. The Red Foxes
outscored the Gaels 35-7 in the
three-game sweep.
The team was very impressed
with Peterson's performance, but
head coach Dennis Healy was
not surprised by ~is results.
"We figure once a freshman
pitcher gets to the 30 inning
inark, he starts to get the feel for
college baseball," Healy said.
"Pete[rson] has presence and
pitches with confidence."
The wins for Marist could not
have come at a better time.
Before the 13 inning marathon
win against Army on Apr. 18, the
team had been stuck on a five-
game losing streak.
Coach Healy was pleased with
the team's ability to bounce back
after a closed door meeting the
Foxes had last week.
"We had a team meeting last
Monday to see where we were
and where we wanted to be,"
Healy said. "We cleared the air
and decided to stop talking about
it and start doing it. We wanted
to get things done, and the Army
game was big for us."
Leading the offense over the
weekend was senior centerfield-
er Travis Musolf. Musolf went
7-15 during the three games,
including a home run, and six
RBIs. Musolf was the catalyst
for the Marist offense in game
one on Saturday, going 5-6 with
a home run and six RBIs en route
to a 19-6 Red Fox win
.
Musolf's game one perform-
ance
of the
doubleheader
sparked the Red Foxes and set
the team up for a big weekend.
"Travis had a great game one
on Saturday, and he was all over
the bases," Healy said. "He set
the tone for the weekend. If he
·
stays with his approach, he's
tough to get out. We talk about
him hitting the ball on the
ground and using his speed on
the bases."
Game two on Saturday featured
another dynamic performance
from Red Fox pitchin'g
1
when
senior Erik Supplee huded a
cornpfote game and Marist con-
tinued to roll with an 8-1 victory
over the Gaels.
Supplee threw seven innings,
allowing six hits and just one run
while striking out four Gaels in
the process. Although the game
was scoreless heading into the
fourth inning, the Red Foxes'
offense put up four runs, includ-
ing
·
a Keith Glasser home run.
First baseman Ryan Gauck
would also go on to homer in the
seventh inning to plate the final
Marist runs of the game.
After winning its last four
games, Marist now looks to con-
tinue the hot streak as it enters a
weekend series against MAAC
rival Le Moyne.
Coach Healy hopes the team
can continue what they have
established this past week and
keep things simple
.
"It's all about approach with
us," Healy said. "When we try to
do too much we struggle. We are
an offensive team and we could
do some damage offensively.

Rigos hurls no-hitter, Marist
sweeps doubleheader over
Iona
By
CASEY
LANE
Staff Writer
You can't score if you don't
hit, and you can't win if you
can't score. Sounds like some-
thing Yogi Berra might say. But
act1Jal1y
;
this was Marist south-
paw Megan Rigas' philosophy
on Sunday, as Marist swept both
games of a doubleheader against
Iona at the Gartland Softball
Field.
Rigos threw a no-hitter, lead-
ing the Red Foxes to an 8-0
win. She went all five innings,
surrendered one walk and struck
out 10 Gaels. With the win, her
record improved to 9-9.
·
In game two, Rigas struck out
the only batter she faced, earn-
ing her fifth save of the season
as Marist beat Iona 3-2.
Head coach Erin Layton was
pleased with her team's per-
formance, especially that of
Rigas.
"Megan is very talented," she
said.
"
She's the anchor to the
[pitching] staff. I think she did
a great job for us."
The Foxes jumped out to a
quick 4-0 lead in first inning.
Christine Jakobsen lead the
game off with a walk and was
followed by a double from
Melissa Giordano. Annie
Castellano, Jessica Hulsey
,
and
Lindsey Kinel drove in three of
the runs, with the fourth coming
on a wild pitch.
The rest of the scoring
occurred in the following
inning, as Marist plated four
more runs. Jessica Green was
responsible for three of the runs,
with her eighth home run on the
season.
Layton had to feel cautiously
optimistic with an 8-0 lead and
her best pitcher on the mound
early in the game.
·
"She was keeping them in
check pretty well," Layton said.
"It's exciting when [a no-hitter]
is going on, but you don't want
to talk about it to jinx it."
Ca
i
tlin Carpenti~r started game
two in Marist's 3-2 win. She
p
i
tched 6.2 innings, allowing
two runs on seven hits and strik-
ing out two without surrender-
ing any walks. She is now 7-8
on the season.
Iona scored its first run in the
top of the sixth inning for its
first lead of the day. But the
Foxes quickly responded in the
bottom half of the inning
.
Giordano started off with a
double, and scored on Green's
second home run of the day.
Castellano followed with a solo
shot of her own, her fifth of the
season, and it proved to be the
game-winner.
Carpentier would give up
another run before yie
l
ding to
Rigos, who shut the door on the
potential rally.
According the Layton, Green
is a game-changing batter in the
middle of the lineup
.
"Jessica had a determined
look when she was at bat for her
horneruns,"
t
he Marist coach
said. "She took a great offen-
sive approach in our games.
"
Marist now has a Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC) record of 9-3;good for
first place in the conference
.
The next MAAC contest will
be an away game for the Foxes
,
as they play another doub
