Unknown number of

son( s) broke into the bottom
floor of a Foy Townhouse, steal-
ing over $2000 worth of the res-
idents"
belonging
s.
The sopho-
more residents, Nicole Valerio
and Danielle Schimp, had been
in Boston for the weekend.
It is not known how many peo-
ple were involved, or if they
were students.
The burglars entered through
the window by simply removing
the screen. The window itself
was not locked.
Valerio said all her jewelry had
been stolen along with her iPod
and DVDs. Schimp
's watch,
iPod, and all of her change were
taken as well.
Valerio first notices something
was wrong because the rug by
her bed was trampled and dirty.
Sophomore Tara
Lubin,
who
lived next door, was home at the
time of the incident.
"I
heard something that
sound-
ed like the radiator clanking,"
Lubin said.
"It's
very old and
makes noises all the time, so [my
roommate and
I]
just thought it
was the house. I asked
[my
roommate] if she heard any-
thing, but we just laughed and
went back to what we were
doing. Their
door
was
lochd.
so
we couldn't have gone in
if
we
wanted to."
Lubin said that was probably
when the intruders left because
they heard the girls talking next
door.
Valerio thinks the burglars
might have been going for her
computer.
"They
were pulling the
chor
.
ds
to unplug everything, and it
banged against the desk. That
could have been the noise my
housemates heard."
All of the girls in the house
agree that it was done by people
who knew girls.
Many of the housemates think
this act may have been premedi-
tated.
Valerio had put on her
Facebook that she was going
away with her roommate. Her
away message on AIM also said
she was in Boston for the week-
end. Her housemates had gone to
Giacomo's across the street, and
put that in their away messages.
Lubin's away message said she
was "out."
"They
probably saw all our
away messages and thought it
was the perfect opportunity,"
housemate Megan Griffing said.
"We
think it might be a girl,"
Valerio said.
"They
took my
Burberry perfume, who else but
a female would want that?"
Valerio was hoping to find the
other students whose rooms
were broken into this weekend.
"Maybe
there's a
connection,"
she said.
"Maybe
there's some-
one we both know."
The students in the dorms were
robbed were not available to
comment.

and
the
Poughkeepsie police arrived
soon after.
"They
interviewed us,"
Valerio
said.
"They

easy it was for someone to open
the
bedroom door with some-
thing like a credit card. It's scary,

Radio station raises
breast cancer awarenes
By
MELISSA GRECO
Circle
Contributor
Local radio station WPDH is
holding its annual event promot-
ing breast cancer awareness,
Breastfest. However, this year
members of Kappa Kappa
Gamma have volunteered to
4elp the cause.
Two members of the
sorority,
Lauren Goodwin and Karen
Wolff, are currently interning for
the station and "work the morn-
ing
show,"
Wolff said. Their
boss, Jeremiah Johnsen, asked if
the sorority was interested in
volunteering at WPDH's annual
event.
•
"Always
eager to help, we
jumped at the
chance,"
Alison
Candamil, a senior
in
Kappa
Kappa Gamma, said.
"We
want
to support the station as much as
possible
in
its endeavors."
Breastfest started four years
ago with a morning show, hosted
by Kevin Karlson and Pete
McKenzie. They wanted to raise
awareness by
"throwing
an all-
out party," Johnsen said. When
Karlson and McKenzie left the
station, Johnsen maintained the
fundraiser.
·
"Orig
inally,
the event was held
at Noah's [Bar], but it was so
successful that we had to switch
to a bigger location," Johnsen
said.
WPDH will be broadcasting its
morning show from Mahoney's
Irish Pub and Restaurant on
Main Street in Poughkeepsie on
Nov. 15 from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Mahoney's will be
catering
to
morning
commuters,
as well as
their own clientele. The event
is
open to the public.
"Everyone
is
excited
because
it's
something we've
never done
before, and we're not sure what
to
expect,"
Candamil said.
"Our
main goal is just to be as outgo-
ing
as possible and raise aware-
ness."
Members of Kappa Kappa
Gamma, wearing promotional t-
shirts,
will be accepting dona-
tions on behalf of WPDH. All
proceeds will be given to a
breast cancer research center
that has not yet been decided
upon.
"There's
no
specific
amount of
money," Johnsen said.
"Our
goal
is more about raising aware-
ness."
"I'm
really looking forward to
this event," Rebecca Whiteley,
philanthropy chair and event
coordinator for Kappa Kappa
Gamma, said.
"I
have no doubt
that it will be
successful."

The Thanksgiving season
marks a time of
family,
as well
as a time of remembrance. On
Wednesday, Nov.
28,
the Marist
Dance Team
is
sponsoring
the
third-annual
Student-Faculty
Basketball Game
in
memory of
Caitlin Boyle, a member of the
team
who
died
from
Menococcul Meningitis
two
years ago.
According to
·
the Meningitis
Foundation of America website
(http://www.meningitisfoundati
onofamerica.org), Meningitis
is
a serious and
sometimes
fatal
inflammation of the membranes
that protect the brain and
spinal
cord.
Anyone
can get the
disease;
however, according to the web-
site,
..
research shows that certain
age groups are more
susceptible
than others. These are the under
S's, the 16-25's and
the
over-
55's." This
·
means
college
stu-
dents are susceptible to the dis-
ease.
Boyle was 19-years-old when
she died on Nov. 15, 2005, only
five
days before her
20th
birth-
day. She was a
junior
at the time
and
would have graduated as
a
member of the class of 2007.
Meghann Pursell, senior mem-
ber of the dance team, said
Boyle was
very
dedicated to the
team.
"She joined the
team in 2004
and at the end of the season
was
chosen
to be the
captain
for
the
following year," Pursell said.
"She
loved to dance and she
was
highly
involved in the team. Cait
encouraged
us all of the time
and
improved our team in many
ways."
Not
only
was
Boyle an
active
member of the dance team, she
was
very involved
in Fox Paw,
an animal rights club on campus,
and was a member of the cheer-
leading team her freshman year,
Pursell said.
This is the first year the dance
team will be hosting the event.
Stacy Quinones, senior member
of the team, said they
hope
to do
a better job
with
public relations
for the event, as opposed to the
lack
of PR done in previous

Common Sense 101
By ffiER THURSTON
John Gildard In-Training
11/7 - Midrise
What better way to kick off a
busy week than with a little
intoxication? A student had
apparently ingested a bit too
much alcohol, prompting securi-
ty to report the strange behavior
and an ambulance to be called.
Upon entering the ambulance,
the student was apparently over-
come with the urge to get away,
and quickly bolted from the
ambulance. Yeah, because that's
what every drunken kid wants to
do. They don't want to go back
to their room, down a bottle of
water, maybe pound half a bowl
of cup of noodle they don't even
like, and hate themselves in the
morning. Nah, who wants to do
thai? Instead, let's show security
how we're training for that half-
marathon and developing killer
runner's thighs - because really,
who can catch a drunken stu-
dent? Answer: Everyone.
11/7 -
Midrise Cont.
No, it's not the bag of popcorn
you just left for dead; it's the
smell
of
my faith in hwnanity
slowly dying. If only there were
some sort of button on most
microwaves that was strictly for
making popcorn. Hey, a guy can
wish right? Idiots.
11/8 -
Upper West Cedar
Security responded to a reported
odor of marijuana from Upper
West Cedar, only to find nobody
home in the residence. They did,
however, find
an
empty bag, and
I think it's safe to say it wasn't a
handbag. Two students returned
to their humble abode, and a
guest was asked to leave. That's
what you get for leaving in right
out in the open, I guess. Without
the bag, you would've been
fly-
ing high. God, I'm hilarious.
11/8 - Campus
student enjoying a nice workout
had their jacket stolen, which in
it contained their room key, mail-
box key, and student ID card. So,
in conclusion, either stop work-
ing out, or lock your prized pos-
sessions up. Or, in a stunning
twist of fate, start working out
with your jacket on. You may
sweat like a pig until you pass
out, but it'll be worth it.
11/10 - Champagnat
An intoxicated female student
sought shelter in the ladies' rest-
room, with security responding
and allowing the girl to return to
her room. You were home safe.
You had stumbled out of the cab,
broken your heel in a puddle,
wiped your running mascara off,
thrown your hair in a loose pony-
tail, gripped your ID card firmly,
and swiped in like a champion.
Then you go and screw evei:y-
thing up. Really, hold it together.
11/10 - Cbampagnat
ily parties. It's basically the same
-you don't want to go there, it's
going to be awkward, and no
matter what, you'll end up with
the smell of the elderly all over
you.
11/10- Sheahan Hall
Another odor of marijuana was
reported, and security refused to
issue a guest pass to the off
end-
ing student. It's really no big
deal, I suppose. I mean, what's
the point in having a guest if all
you're going to do is watch
"Dazed and Confused," and talk
about how much you're craving
Funyuns? I mean, I assume. Not
like I've ever done that or any-
thing.
11/10 - Champagnat
A disorderly student was report-
ed by the RA, who eventually
got the student to calm down.
Wait, a student acting obnox-
ious? Hold on, a freshman stu-
dent acting obnoxious? No.
Freaking. Way.
11/10 - Lower West Cedar
Hall entry desk, and Fairview
responded
accordingly.
Seriously, though, on a Sunday?
Shouldn't you
be
watching the
game, eating disgusting amounts
of
nachos,
and secretly waiting
for "Desperate Housewives"?
Or, swigging Jack Daniels
behind closed doors and waiting
for the work week to begin.
Seriously, save that for the mid-
life crisis, like everyone else
does.
11/11 - Cbampagnat
Apparently, fire extinguishers
are the new killer crime. Two fire
extinguishers were discharged
over the weekend, with one actu-
ally setting the alarm off. A guest
was arrested for tampering with
the extinguisher, and also pos-
sessing a forged government
document, or a fake ID. Do we
not realize how this is going to
go over in the holding cell?
Everyone else is in there for
picking up a prostitute, and you
just tried to recreate an
s
th grade
science experiment. Do we think
that they're going to appoint us
leader of the gang? Really?

rity isn't going to make your
friend any less in trouble. This

and it won't be any more dramat-
ic.
Maybe you should bring your
iPod and listen to Imogen Heap
to make it seem like it is, if that
makes you feel better. That's
totally your call.
Seriously? This isn't even funny.
A student's car was vandalized,
and the culprits decided it would
be even funnier
to use, wait for
it, chocolate syrup, caramel
syrup, pixie sticks, and salami, to
cause damage. Oh, hell no.

See, this is what I'm talking
about. Another intoxicated stu-
dent didn't make it up to his/her
room, with security reporting
their inability to swipe at the
entry desk. So, yeah, they may
be in more trouble than the girl

room, but at least

In
another case of "it's really

came up with the ingenious
prank of i,gnoring his friend
wheo:evet he called his name and
moved him. I'U

him that,
that's kind

the
''until

Unbeknownst to the prankster,
the concerned student had called
911
to aid his apparently unre-
sponsive friend. So the lesson is,
don't play games that end with
unnecessary calls to emergency
services. Although, sometimes it
is necessary - some people real-
ly, really want to own all the rail-
roads in Monopoly, and there's
nothing that hurts more than a
game board to the face.

11/9 - Mccann Pool
After enjoying a nice lap in the
pool, a student reported the loss
of money from their wallet,
which was left in an unlocked
locker. Once again, another
cause of getting active and get-
ting robbed for it. No one steals
anything you just sit on the side-
lines making bitter comments. I

of my personal dream to become
an Olympic swimmer, but that's

Speaking of crashing and burn-

Editor's Comer: Spirit needs to bridge all sports
BY MARGEAUX LIPPMAN
Editor-in-Chief
When word came that the
Marist F.ao!ball team won
against Iona this past week, I
was contemplating the following
headline: "MAAC CHAMPI-
ONS:
EVERYBODY
BUT
LASALLE." Plastered across the
back page, that'd look pretty
good- it's true, it's timely and it's
also entertaining
.
Despite the
fact that the headline echoes
what so many of us are thinking
but refusing to say, making light
of the fact that the MAAC is a
dying breed isn't the best of deci-
sions. Most of us have ties to
someone on the football team
(and since there's I IO players,
who
DOESN'T?
That's the last shot I'll take at
them, I swear) and have seen the
amount of dedication and effort
that goes into one football sea-
son.
In all honesty
,
though, it isn't
just the football team who gets
cast aside. Even teams who com-
pete with consistency and
.
skill
get ignored by the community at
large. Marist's swim teams, on
both the men's and women's
sid~s

.
Our women's
tennis team won the MAAC last
year, too
.
The men's and
women's crew teams wake up at
ungodly hours through the year,
won both MAAC championships
and still don't get recognition
.
Perhaps the most glaring exam-
ple of this is the women's basket
-
ball team, who had a phenome
-
nal finish last year - after a sea-
son where we couldn't fill the
bleachers to match the spirit of a
men's game
.
The women had no
"Texas Heat" signs or a follow-
ing plastered in body paint
,
but
went on to be the first ever
MAAC team (men's or women's)
to break into the Sweet 16.
Hopefully, this trend won't con-
tinue.
My point is this: this past
weekend
,
Marist has dived head-
long into basketball season. This
means full arenas at men's games
(and we'd better see all 3,200
seats filled at women's games
this season too ... )

we should try to stretch this to all

-
we should do so wher-

football game .... win or lose.
Here's to a good season and to
motivation and spirit. You can

College Bowl returns
to Marist
Eight clubs compete in 'battle of cultural wits'
By
SARAH HOLMES
Staff Writer
Eight teams gathered on
November 6 in a battle of
scholastic and cultural wits in
what is called the College Bowl.
The College Bowl "is the world
famous game of questions and
answers played by two teams of
competirig students" according
Collegebowl.com, and it is
known
as
"the varsity sport of
the mind."
The
College Bowl first
appeared on the NBC radio net-
work
sponsored by
Good
Housekeeping Magazine
in
October 1953. The first airings
of the game had two schools
connected to a moderator by
three-way phone as they compet-
ed from their own campuses.
Six years later the College
Bowl program aired on network
television sponsored by the
General Electric Company. Until
June l 970 it aired on weekends
for 26 to 39 weeks
per
year.
Since then the game format has
been licensed by major corpora-
tions for training programs and
nationwide for high school com-
petitions. Before it went off the
air it was a major activity on col-
lege campuses.
Marist, lµce many other col-
leges, hosts a campus-wide game
where teams of four answer
questions relating from science
and politics to literature and pop
culture. Questions like "what is
the name of Superman's father?"
are asked. Only four people can
play at a time, but teams can
switch players in and out when
they start a new round.
The teams are eliminated one
by one, after a 14-minute time
span split into halves, according
to the number of points each
team has. Points are awarded for
answering the toss-up questions,
answerable by whichever team
presses its buzzer quickest, and
the team that gets the correct
answer has the opportunity to
answer bonus questions ranging
from 10 to 30 points.
The teams that competed in the
Bowl this year were The Fencing
Club, Marist Band, Drama
Queens (representing the Drama
Club), The Marist Republicans,
Student Activities
Council,
Kappa Kappa Gamma , Pan Pan
( the only non-club team com-
posed of five brave freshmen),
and the winning team of
Rainbow Bright (representing
the LGSA).
Scores were kept per individual
to see who knew the most in cer-
tain categories, so that a team of
four could be picked to go to the
Regional Tournament. A team
can then advance to the National
Championship
tournament,
where the top 16 schools in the
country compete.

Kappa
Lambda Psi sponsor Hawaiian
dance for Epilepsy Foundation
By
MELISSA
GRECO
Circle Contributor
Kappa Lambda Psi is sponsor-
ing a community service event
that is new this year: a Hawaiian-
themed dance to raise money for
the Epilepsy Foundation.
Christina Tello and Jillian
Scangas are the coordinators of
this event. The members of the
sorority became interested in
fundraising for the Epilepsy
Foundation because "many of
our loved ones are affected by
the disorder," Tello said.
"I think these girls are putting
forth a great effort to help aid the
Epilepsy Foundation," Kristin
Bretz, a Greek life advisor,
said. "They are trying to help
with an issue that directly affects
people that they know, and they
are doing so in an upbeat way."
Kappa Lambda Psi discussed
ways to fundraise and involve as
many people as possible.
"We thought a dance would
reach out to people the most and
produce a significant amount to
donate," Tello said.
Kappa Lambda Psi is a local
sorority. According to Bretz,
members and alumni of the
sorority handle the administra-
tive work instead of a national
office.
Kappa Lambda Psi, like other
Greek organizations, participates
in community service events
throughout the year.
In
the fall,
members of Kappa Lambda Psi
are the primary organizers of the
campus blood drive in addition
to co-sponsoring Take Back the
Night, a march against sexual
violence. In April, they attend
Relay for Life, an event that pro-
motes awareness and raises
money for the American Cancer
Society. Now, the sorority is
adding a dance for the Epilepsy
Foundation to its community
service events.
"Kappa Lambda Psi has not
done this fundraiser before and
to my knowledge this is not
something that has been done in
the past," Bretz said. ''The girls
are hoping that the event is a sue-
cess, and they will plan to con-
tinue to do this in the future
based on the popularity oF the
program."
The dance will be in the
Cabaret on Nov.
16
from
7
p.m.
to l a.m. Marist students, faculty,
and staff are invited. The
entrance fee is $8; however, any-
one who attends in beach attire
will be charged $6.
"We are going to decorate and
have a bake sale and a
DJ:'
·
Scangas said. "It's just going ~o
be a fun time."
Kappa Lambda Psi 's goal' is to
raise at least $1,000 through
entrance fees and donations. All
proceeds will go to the Epilepsy
Foundation.
"We would like for everyone
interested to attend because it
will help to better support the
cause," Tello said. "Kappa
Lambda Psi just hopes that we
can make a tiny impact on find-
ing a cure for the disorder and
empowering those who are
affected by it daily."

KATIE AMODEO
Circle Contributor
As und~aduate science stu-
dents, it is not often that we g.et
the chance to be on the other side
of the research world. Instead,
we often comfortably inhabit the
world in which we are given the
specimens that need to be dis-
sected or in which we perform an
experiment that has already been
done thousands of times. This is
of course essential for the learn.:
ing process, but this of course is
not the real world.
In the real world, scientists
explore the unknown! Make dis-
coveries! Learn from failed
experiments! And rejoice when
an experiment has interesting,
yet unexpected results. This
semester, Dr. Espinasa is giving
my classmates and I a taste of
this other side of the research
world. This semester in my
molecular biology class, we will
be studying specimens that have
not even been characterized yet,
giving us the opportunity to
make
novel
discoveries-
Awesome, I know! The catch?
We can't exactly order such
specimens from a catalog.
And so, this is why a few of my
classmates and I found ourselves
in a cave, thigh deep in freezing
cold water, setting traps of
delightfully smelly, sun-ripened
cat fish chunks two weekends
ago.
After driving four hours, we
had finally arrived in the beauti-
ful
and extremely isolated
Nippenose Valley. When I say
isolated, I mean not one of us
had cell phone service- not even
the residents of the valley.
Within minutes of arriving, we
were introduced to Dave Rollick
and the others who would be
going in the cave Loose Tooth, a
cave that we were informed we
would not be going into because
of its degree of difficulty. Being
completely inexperienced and
frankly frightened enough at the
thought of the cave that we
would be exploring, which Dave
referred to as a kindergarten moment to warm up in the sun-

"In Rainbows" sets example and makes record labels nervous
-av
LISA BRASS
Copy Editor
In Rainbows, Radiohead's latest album, is
')
brilliant. Literally. I love all of Radiohead.
and the latest album is my new favorite. Each
track is a hit, featuring strong and upbeat
gui-
)ar beats or moody ballads. But I'm not writ-
.
ing this column to feature a music album- I'll
.
leave that up
to
the A&E section. The reason
'
rm featuring Radiohead this week is
.
because of the radical business model the.y .
~
used to release the album.
In
2004,
the band fulfilled its six-album
• J
contract with EMI and was finally free of all
•
ties. Rather than seek a new record company
to sign with, Radiohead decided to go out on
its own. During an interview last year, the
band said that "for the first time, we have no
contract or release deadline to fulfill-it's
both liberating and terrifying." The freedom
let them give a "f"'ck you" to the business
model and (still unsigned)they began
to
cre-
ate the songs for their new album.
In late September, visitors to Radiohead's
web site were greeted by a startling
1999-
esque style web page with black text on a
moving rainbow background that announced
the latest album title: In Rainbows. The two
.,
formats, which are still available on the site,
are a hard copy with a discbox for about
$82
US and a digital download that costs ... how-
ever much you're willing to pay. That's right.
'
I
You can pay
$0.02.
You can pay
$5,000
(as
Trent Reznor did) or you can pay
$5.00.
And
then, of course, you can pay absolutely noth-
ing and get In Rainbows for free.
Just like I did.
It may seem like a pretty mean thing to do,
but I think everyone does that when they
down
l
oad In Rainbows for the first time. You
download the music, give it a listen, see if
you like it, then go back and donate a few
bucks when you "buy" it for a second time.
In Rainbows was reportedly downloaded
1.2 million times on the day of its release,
with unknown but probably enormous fig-
ures after that date, and has obviously been a
success in regard to demand. Has the unusu-
al method for the album's sale lost
Radiohead money? Most definitely. Then
why'd they do it?
"Partly just to get it out quickly, so every-
one would hear it at the same time, and part-
ly because it was an experiment that felt
worth trying, really," said lead guitarist
Jonny Greenwood. Plus, he commented, "It's
fun
to
make people stop for a few seconds
and think about what music 'is worth, that's
just an interesting question to ask people."
What is the music worth to you? The ques-
tion never would have come up before the
power of the Internet made such a cool dis-
tribution method possible. The viral market-
ing of the Internet (from one AIM user to
another, who posted it on Facebook
,
who
posted it on MySpace, who posted it on their
LiveJoumal, and etc.) has worked for
Radio head.
The real issue that users are buzzing about
online is wnether or not the band's example
can be followed by m
u
sicians and groups
who are less famous. Sure, they could do it,
but successfully enough to create income?
Not so much, I'm thinking. Radiohead has an
established fanbase, and right now its only
concern is to look for new fans.
It ain't exact-
ly begging out on the metaphorical curb for
cash, unlike the many broke upcoming artists
who need the traditional business model.
Speaking of the traditional model, you can
bet that the record companies are beginning
to
realize the power of the Internet as a dis-
tribution medium. An interview with one
record label executive produced the follow-
ing quote on the exact moment he saw the
possible end to the industry monopoly:
"Uhhhh."
Just kidding. I do hope my point got
through to you though. After all, it's no coin-
cidence that Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails
announced soon after the release of In
Rainbows that his band was contract-free.
Bands like Oasis and Jamiroquai are also
watching Radiohead's experiment with inter-
est. If
it
pans out well, who knows? We all
may be paying what we want for the albums
that we want without those pesky record
companies screwing everyone over.

feel fike
it's you versus the entire world.
When you're in your own cor-
ner, you can regain your
strength, lick your wounds, fig-
ure out what you want, and focus
on accomplishing other things.
Rather than thinking of a
breakup as an end,
try
to think of
it as a new beginning; there are
no limits now unless you limit
yourself.
It
is important to build future
ideas of what you're looking for
in a man, but you must also real-
ize
what
a
man
is.
A real man never puts a woman
down, never makes her feel like
she is worth nothing, and never
makes
a
woman
cry.
The breeds of men that
are
infa-
mous for this type of destruction
earn their spot amongst the
weak- weak because they are
scared to face reality. They are
scared to live, scared to love,
scared to be themselves and to
face themselves, scared to take
risks, scared to try, and scared to
take responsibility.
Now, more than ever, is the
time of the independent woman.
Whether a female is in a tela-
tionship or not, she has to know
that she doesn't need someone
else to make her happy
.
She
doesn't need a man for support-
emotionally, physically
,
or finan-
cially.
A woman should
run
her gov-
ernment; she is her own legisla-
tor, executive, and
jury.
Instead
of checks and balances, she
writes the checks and has the big
balances.
The world must especially
brace themselves for
2008,
where independent .women will
own the scene! I look forward to
seeing women anywhere from

BY MARISSA GUERCIO
Circle Contributor
The second half of the semester has just
begun
,
and many Marist College students are
awaiting the holiday season.
The general adjustment period from summer
to academia is over for many students on cam-
pus.
•
Howeve
r,
students who went abroad last
semester have an additional hindrance during
their initial adjustl:nent period; many of them are
affected by reverse culture shock upon returning
to Marist.
According to the Office of International
E
ducation at Marquette University
,
reverse cul-
ture shock is a common reaction to returning
home from studying abroad
.
It is an emotional
and psychological stage of re~adjustment, simi
-
lar to one's initial adjustment to living abroad.
According to Dr
.
John A. Scileppi
,
professor
and chair of psychology at Marist College, stu-
dents who go abroad need to realize that nothing
is going to be the same when they return.
"People expect everything to be frozen the
way it was prior to going abroad, and that's just
not the case," said Scileppi.
According to Scileppi
,
returning students need
to understand that they have been personally
changed by the abroad experience
.
"Their view is static
,
but their experience is
dynamic
,
" he said.
He says that, students who return from being
abroad should be taught better ways to cope
with the feelings attributed with reverse culture
shock.
Carol Toufali, coordinator for the Marist
Abroad Program, tries to ease the transition
back to Marist College life for many returning
students by preparing them ahead of time.
"We send a letter home that basically tells
them that they may notice that things are pretty
mundane at school," said Toufali. "They may
find it difficult to adapt to life back at Marist."
Some students dealing with reverse culture
shock choose to go abroad for another semester.
However
,
for the majority who cannot afford
that, Toufali advises students to participate in
abroad activities on a more local level.
"We encourage students to continue their
abroad experience by joining the international
club," she said. "By sharing their experiences,
they can perhaps convince others to go as well."
Many abroad students returning back to cam-
pus find it difficult to adjust to the everyday life
at Marist College.
Amanda Schaefer, a former student at Lorenzo
de Medici in Florence, Italy, found it hard to
adapt to the different atmosphere
.
"I was excited to come back and see all my
friends, but the way of life and culture is just so
different here than it was abroad
,
" said
Schaefer.
"It
was hard coming back to school and hav-
ing to do work again," she said. "Over th
e
re
;
I
felt like everyone was so much more laid back
'and knew how to enjoy life."
Schaefer is one student who took Toufali 's
advice; she works as the event coordinator for
the Marist Abroad Program.
"I like being able to talk to people who are
interested in going abroad and help them with
any questions or concerns they might have,"
said Schaefer. "I really want to help because I
think going abroad is such an amaz
i
ng exp
eri-
ence."
"Even though it's really tough to come back to
campus after spending
5
months in a different
country, I wouldn't trade
it
for the world," sh
e
said.

Obsessive media coverage gives stars too much attention
By
KELLY LAUTERNER
Staff Writer
Many ofus have often thought
how great life would be if we
could just be celebrities. We
want to have the clothes of Paris
or the parties of Lindsay. But, the
media constantly loves to remind
us that celebrities
are
just like us.
Even though they make millions
of dollars, drive a Bentley and
sleep on $3,000 sheets, they are
as ordinary as you and me. Are
they kidding?
daily lives, Thi~ week, Sacha
Baron Cohen (Borat) bought a
quilt and Nicole Ritchie took
some pictures of her friends
while having lunch. So obvious-
ly, this means they are just Hke us
ordinary people, right?
The more the media covers
celebrities' personal lives, the
more they try to force us to
believe these people are just like
us.
In
reality, they are further
dividing- the lirie

stars
and the people reading the head-
lines at the supermarket check-

Britney Spears, but if there had-

her arms or holding him
in her lap while driving, would
we have scrutinized her so close-
ly? I mean, she is a person some-
where under there, and she must
get frustrated with so many peo-
pl~ hating her.
The dependency on the Internet
for news has also added
to
this
Upon a glance at US
Weekly's top headline from
this past weekend, I see that
Katie Holmes ran the New
York City Marathon. She
was flanked by guards and
kept under constant surveil-
lance, plus she got her pic-

shipped that people need to know what

On
a very important note,
People Magazine
informed me that Katie
HoJmes
nonchalantly
managed to slip into high
heels a few hours after
ture taken dozens of time by peo-
·ple along the route. She's just
another regular mom running a
marathon, right?
I really enjoy looking at US
Weekly's section "Stars Like
Us", which is filled with pictures
of celebrities going about their
out line. When I see that some
famous person is picking some
food out of their teeth, I don't
feel camaraderie- I just feel kind
of gross and sad.
It is sad
·
that celebrities are so
worshipped that people need to
know what they are doing every
running the aforemen-
tioned marathon. Well, thank
goodness for that!
Do we really need to know
what
celebrities
do
every
moment of the day? Apparently
so, because OK! Magazine will
post new pictures throughout the
day. I hope they'll text me when
Brad Pitt goes to the grocery
store, and maybe they can stream
it online so I can find out if he
prefers paper or plastic bags. I
really am dying to know!
Not only does the media feel
the need to follow our favorite
stars and reveal every last inti-
mate detail of their lives, but
then they turn against a person a
moment later. Star Magazine had
articles all about Katie Holmes
running the marathon and hug-
ging
husband
Tom Cruise and
daughter Suri at the finish line.
Then the magazine cover said
she and Tom are heading to their
demise. Someone at "Star" must
have their story wrong
because
the couple
can't
be together and
apart at the same time, right?
There is definitely a point
where the media circus has to
stop. I do agree that when one
becomes a celebrity, they have to
surrender some of their privacy;
it's the price of fame. But
celebrities are people too. They
need some privacy to go about
their lives.
The technological overhaul has
even added to our desire to be "reality shows" included Britney
more like celebrities. Not only Spears' "Chaotic", "The Simple

watch it on television too! Shows
like "Access Hollywood" can
bring me live footage of my
favorite celebrities doing every-
thing from taking their children
to the doctor or throwing a mil-
lion dollar party at a swanky
club.
Just in case we didn't already
feel a bond with celebrities, we
can now watch "reality" televi-
sion shows that follow them
around and show their lives in
excruciating detail.

The bottom line is that these

with Iraq's
neighbor to
the east.
Why the drumbeat to
war?
That's what you do, apparently,
when your war-profiteering
friends in the defense lobby
want
more
money.
You imagine into existence
a
new threat against "American
freedom", come up with all
sorts of scary stories, nonsense
scenarios that are absurd and
unsupported by evidence, and
then send the boys off to die.
Their passing will be memorial-
ized by the uniforms they wear,
the equipment they carry, and
even the food they eat, all bear-
ing some corporate logo as evi-
dence of who got rich and
irrefutable testimony of why we
truly went to war.
You can only watch
a
rerun so
many times before the end loses
its shock value.
And now the happy ending,
the opportunfty to reunite: The
Armed forces of the United
States is not in Iran, but the
administration is nevertheless
poised
to
assault.
Vice President Dick Cheney
blocked, for over a year, publi~
cation
of
the
National
Intelligence Estimate (NIE)
on
Iran because it does not support
his preconceived conclusions.
He wants violence and he
knows he
cannot
have it unless
the NIE, the most objective and
reliable indicator of whether or
not military intervention is jus-
tified, reflects the lies currently
piped through popular media:
that Iran's nuclear program is
on
the
brink
of nuclear capabil-
ity and that Iraqi Shiite insur-
gents are supported by Iran.
The official record and the work
or intelligence analysts does not
reflect these notions, so Cheney
sends the reports back, eff
ec-
tively telling the intelligence
community to revise the truth
until they get it correct.
Military
"
action against Iran
would constitute an internation-
al war crime, a violation of the
U.N. Charter, and, because the
United States is a signator, a
direct violation of constitution-
al law (reference article VI,
paragraph 2).
For its repug-
nance
to constitutional law, the
standing government of our
Celebrities are not "like us"
career is over, arguing with
their families and wasting time
going to grooming appoint-
ments or accomplishing menial
tasks in an excruciatingly slow
manner. Well, sounds just like
an average day for me.
If
they
are slightly more successful,
there is usually more arguing
with family members, more
time spent in the studio or
on
the set, and more pictures of
people driving around in
cars-usually
fleeing
the
paparazzi.
I am not saying that all
celebrities are horrible people.
But as with any person, the
more
money they have, the
more problems they have, and
the more we as a public seem
to love it. We are all humans
and we need to give them a
break. Why don't we let them
live their lives without report-
ing about every moment of
their day? I'm sure that my life
would sound boring if every
thing I did was documented
and discussed by people ad
nausea. But because a person

its legitimacy and we no longer
have a formal government in
accordance with the law of the
land.
There is, however, a collective
of wealthy oligarchs that occu-
py the halls where our govern-
ment, once upon a time, used to
be.
They represent the interests of
private wealth and systemati-
cally ignore popular will. More
urgent than their subversion of
American Democracy is their
ambitions for terrorism: they
will come for our nation's
young, risk their lives to kill the
world's poor, and send us the
bill.
Our
potential to reunite
and recover the substance of
our
cultural traditions lies in
our
capacity to revolt against
this grotesque and illegal order,
for it will not cease on its own.
The ending of the rerun may
never change, but perhaps we
might smash the TV in hope of
desperately needed change.
Indeed, the new face of national
unity will be collective resist-
ance.
cream or purse.
The media needs to give
celebrities a break, and by not
buying into all of their hype we
can help give some of their pri-
vacy back. Twenty years ago,
we didn't have half a clue how
the stars lived. Now that we do,
we end up worrying more get-
ting the same things they have
instead of whatever project
they are working on. Become
part of the solution and not part
of the problem. In the long run,
you'll be happier if you're not
always comparing your life to a
celebrity's.

To take care of and maintain
your tan, you should keep from
bathing eight hours after appli-
cation.
You
should also try not
to perspire for the
first
three
hours. After you bathe, you may
want to reapply your self tan-
ner.
Those interested in
looking
tanner should also
consider
bronzing powder makeup.
They
do not cost more than $10 at
your local drugstore, and they
can give you a glow that
you
can wash off at
the
end of
the
day. When you are using bronz-
ing powders,
remember
to
applY' the powder
evenly
to
your face and neck.
You may decide to
"go
sun-
less" on your own or you may
still want to visit the
tanning
salon and ask for a
stand-up
spray tan. They use an airbrush-
like way of tanning so that no
spots are left un-bronzed and
are usually in high demand dur-
ing the winter month_s. These
types
of tanning sessions range
from $15
-
$20 in price.

your tan
sprayed

you

if

added. "I've taken all me person-
al information off Facebook."
Schimp's parents had called
security following the incident.
She said they wanted to know
what security was going to do
about the burglary.
"Security basically told my
parents that the campus was very
safe and they were going to
patrol the area more frequently,"
Schimp said. "I know we should
have
locked
the window, but
still."
Directory of Safety. John
Gildard explained how security
responds to the situation on Nov.
10.
"They called and we sent an
officer over. Based on the type of
crime we call in the police and
are currently conducting a joint
investigation," Gildard said.
"Mr. DeMattio is the school's
security investigator and he
works with the detective who is
assigned to the case through the
Poughkeepsie police."
Gildard said he sent out an
email and is having patrol offi-
cers spend more time in that
area.
"This is the first break-in we've
had in a townhouse this year.
Usually most cases
occur
because students in the dorms
leave their doors unlocked and
people just go in and take things
off the dressers," Gildard said.

mtvU Awards recognize best of college music scene
Gym Class Heroes take home Woodie of the Year
By
ANDREW OVERTON
News Co-Editor
On
Nov. 9, 4.6
million college
students
across
America
declared The
Gym
Class Heroes
the kings of the college music
scene at the 2007 mtvU Woodie
Awards in New York City.
The Gym Class Heroes won
the Woodie of the Year for being
the artist who made the biggest
splash on mtvU and the college
music scene this year. Other win-
ners included Spoon (Alumni
Woodie), Muse (Performing
Woodie), Boys Like Girls
(Breaking Woodie), Guster (The
Good Woodie), Madvillain (Left
Field Woodie), Say Anything
(Best Video Woodie), The
Academy Is ... (Viral Woodie),
and Duke University's Stella by
Starlight (The Best Music
On
Campus Woodie).
Many up-and-coming music
stars were on hand on a cold
Thursday night at the Roseland
Ballroom in New York City to
recognize
their fellow musicians
and enjoy live performances
from some of college radio's
popular musical acts.
Lupe Fiasco and Patrick Stump
of Fall Out Boy kicked off the
2007 mtvU Woodie Awards with
an
exciting
performance of
Lupe's new single "Superstar."
The hip/hop track, which fea-
tures the lyrics,
''If
you are what
you
say
:you are; a
SUpeF
staf4hen
have no fear/ the crowd is here
and the lights are on and they
want a show," was an appropri-
ate start to the show.
MtvU didn't waste any time
after Lupe's performance to
announce Gym Class Heroes as
the winners of the 2007 Woodie
of the Year Award. Gym Class
beat out rapper Common, indie-
pop band The Shins, and English
pop stars Lily Allen iµid Amy
Winehouse for the top prize.
What distinguishes mtvU from
its other MTV counterparts
is
that it is surprisingly in tune with
what college students care about.
For example the Good Woodie is
awarded to the artist whose com-
mitment to a social cause has
effected the greatest change.
Guster, the 2007 winner of the
Good Woodie, greened more
than 600 concerts in the last
three years. During their accept-
ance speech Ryan Miller, lead
singer and guitarist of Guster,
expressed his excitement.
"It's pretty awesome that
there's an award for philanthro-
py, so go earth!" he said.
MtvU also makes a point
to
recognize its
college roots by
awarding The Best Music On
Campus Woodie to the most
promising band in America,
handpicked by the national col-
lege audience. This award gives
college
bands the exposure
to
make it big.

"Money
Maker" and
Roberto Cavalli premieres affordable line for H&M
By
Kate Goodin
Staff Writer
On
the night of Nov. 7, 2007,
hundreds of people lined the
streets of New York City waiting
for the release of something
major- but not they were not
waiting for concert tickets or
hoping to get into a hot new club.
No, these fans were waiting for
something
much
better: the debut
of Roberto Cavalli's line for
H&M.
Yes, you read right: Italian
fashion designer and legend
Roberto Cavalli partnered with
H&M to produce a line exclu-
sively for the retail giant. Cavalli
follows
other
well-known
designers
-
Karl Lagerfeld,
Stella
McCartney
and
Viktor&Rolf
-
in partnerships
with H&M, a Sweden-based
retailer that specializes in afford-
able, stylish European chic. So
how does Cavalli's collection
measure up with the success of
his predecessors?
Well, put it this way: the first
round of stock for Cavalli
's
col-
lection, available in about 200
H&M stores worldwide, sold out
in New York stores mere hours
after its debut. While I was (most
unfortunately) not present for the
unveiling of Cavalli 's genius at
su~h an affordable price, I was in
a London H&M when the
Viktor&Rolf
collection
hit
stores. I wandered innocently
into the store, hoping to browse
and totally unaware of the immi-
nent presentation ofViktor&Rolf
creations. Toe store was abnor-
mally crowded, I recall thinking,
and many women were lurking
around the doors to the storage
room. Suddenly, harried sales
associates wheeled racks of
knits, trousers, skirts
-
and the
cornerstone of the collection, the
wedding dresses
....
as hundreds
of women lunged to snag their
desired pieces. Well, what was I
supposed to do? I lunged right
along with them and emerged
victorious, a bit roughed up but
with a washable wool black knit
sweater dress (the accompanying
belt was lost in the chaos) in
hand.
If
the Cavalli opening was
anything like my Viktor&Rolf
experience - and I daresay it was
grander -you should have a good
idea of the mayhem that can (and
will) ensue during these events.
Cavalli happens to be one of
my favorite designers because he
loves to dress women. Yes, he
designs for men as well, but
when a woman wears Cavalli,
she can do anything. A classic
Cavalli woman is Samantha
Jones from Sex & the City. He
brings out a woman's sexy alter
ego with primal animal prints,
seductive silhouettes and cut-to-
there tops and blouses. And, as if
there were any doubt, Cavalli
delivers affordable pieces for
men and women that would look
right at home next to his thou-
sand-dollar RTW stunners.
For the collections, Cavalli said
in an
interview
(on H&M's web-
site) that he looked through past
runway collections for inspira-
tions
-
to Cavalli, all devotees
deserve the best. A quick glance
through the women's collection
proves that he included his sig-
nature prints and styles in all his
designs. Animal prints abound,
whether in a zebra-print trench
coat ($198) or floor-length silk

to

dresses worthy of the red
carpet,
(also
$198).
C'mon,
compared
with the thousands you could
potentially
spend
on
Cavalli
wardrobe, this
is
practically free.
SumptuOWI knits
(
only Cavalli
can
make
a cardigan look
sexy)
and elegant trousers provide a
balance for the more outrageous
pieces. Cavalli also included a
few
menswear-inspired suit
designs,
with to-die-for
blouses
starting
at about $60, perfect for
work or play.
For
men,
Cavalli created sever-
al staple
pieces. Versatile wool
suits are
a
steal
starting
at $249,
supplemented
by dress
shirts,
jeans
and of-the-moment
waist-
coats.
Cavalli
T-shirts
should
be
snatched
up by the dozen at $25
a pop. And, for the more discern-
ing gentleman,
Cavalli
briefs and
boxers are available
at
about
$20.
Never-
to leave a
fashionista
sans accoutrements,
Cavalli
impresses with a
line of acces-
sories. Serpents were
his inspira-
tion
for
the
jewelry
,
coiled
in
rings
and
.
bracelets. Bejeweled
horn charms dangle
from neck-
laces and brooches,
and leather
accessories including belts and
shoes complete
any Cavalli look,
with shoes
at
around $129 and
belts
available for $40 (!).
If any of these pieces even
elicited the tiniest fraction of
desire
in
you,
run -don't walk! -
to the nearest
H&M that carries
Cavalli's all-star collection. You
probably
don't have
a
million
bucks, but
thanks to
H&M
and
the talents
Signor Cavalli, you
can
look like
it.

'Grey's'writers strike, wardrobe malfunction, Lance
Armstrong dating Ashley Olsen and other celebrity news
By
CHELSEA MURRAY
Circle Contributor
Many people have an obsession
with celebrity culture because it
strays our thoughts from the
daily toils of life. Society props
these actors, musicians and per-
sonalities into larger than life fig-
ures as distractions from reality.
Even though, many people
have a keen interest in the sub-
ject of celebrity news, they may
not have time to actually keep
tabs on it. Each week this col-
umn will re-cap some of the
note-worthy celebrity antics that
have taken place. Whether it's
propping them up or tearing
them down, we cannot resist
being interested.
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan
Philippe's son Deacon has bene-
fited from having two famous
parents. Witherspoon recently
revealed that her son shows no
interest in acting, but wants to be
a pizza delivery boy. After hear-
ing the news, Pizza Hut took a
big step in securing a future job
for the 4-year-old. They sent him
incentives such as gift cards, a
uniform and a mini delivery
truck.
Apparently, Chelsy Davy had
enough of her fairy tale romance
with Prince Harry. Reports have
surfaced that the three-year rela-
tionship went sour and Davy
called it quits. The notorious
party boy finally pushed it too
far by attending the Rugby
World Cup finals in Paris instead
of spending Davy's birthday
with her. As sad as it is to hear a
relationship break up, young
women around the world are
silently cheering.
Jennifer Lopez and Christina
Aguilera stated the obvious
when they finally confirmed
their pregnancies to the world
this past week. This will be the
first child for both pop stars.
Let's hope the children predomi-
nantly take their mothers' genes
instead of their fathers' rodent
looks.
Katie Holmes bravely ran the
New York City Marathon in the
impressive time of 5 hours 29
minutes
~nd
58
seconds.
Impressive time? Many people
could walk a marathon in that
amount of time. You'd think the
woman could run a little bit
faster with all the practice she
gets running away from Tom
Cruise.
Fellow marathon runner and
seven time Tour de France cham-
pion Lance Armstrong has been
making headlines for other rea-
sons besides his incredible sports
feats. He has been carousing
around New York City with
Ashley Olsen. It seems like
there's nothing Armstrong can't
do, so why not try a relationship
with a fifteen year age gap?
Angelina Jolie made it clear
that she does not want to com-
ment on the differences between
her and boyfriend Brad Pitt's for-
mer wife, Jennifer Aniston. W
Magazine pit (no pun intended)
the two actresses against each
other by putting their famous
mugs on the covers of different
versions of the magazine's
anniversary edition. Clearly, it's
a topic the mom of four no
longer finds necessary to talk
about even though it continues to
make magazines fly off the
shelves.
In other Jolie news, Sunday
night at the London premiere of
her new movie "Beowulf' saw
her extremely tight leather pants
started to rip in the back. Good
thing she had her man candy
there to inconspicuously place
his hand on her backside the rest
of the night to cover up the fash-
ion faux paux. They can make
even a clothing malfunction lo~k
sexy.
The public's obsession with the
roller coaster that is pop star
Britney Spears has become
almost worse than a drug addic-
tion. Despite her apparent mental
issues, it seemed as though her
career was resurging last week
with the popularity of her new
album "Blackout." The album
appeared as number two on the
Billboard chart last week just
behind "The Eagles," but she
was number one all over the
world.
On the other hand, Spears still
has not gained joint custody of
her sons even though she has
been in and out of court for
weeks. Every day seems to be
another blow bringing her closer
and closer to her breaking point.
Last week for example, it was
determined that Spears now has
to pay the legal fees for Kevin
F ederline as he fights to keep full
custody of the kids in court.
Ironic?
The Writer's Strike was the
most buzzed about topic in
Hollywood for the past week.
Writers believe that they are
treated unfairly because they are
not paid royalties for the shows
that are available online for
viewers.
Big name stars such as Steve
Carrell of "The Office" and Jay
Leno have refused to cross the
picket line to continue doing
their job, which has halted pro-
duction on their shows among
many others such as "Desperate
Housewives"
and
"Grey's
Anatomy." Ellen Degeneres is
getting lampooned in the media
and among the Writers Guild for
insisting to appear on her show.
This strike is taking a major toll
on the entertainment industry
and will really hit home on a per-
sonal level when big shows like
"Grey's Anatomy" and late night
talk
shows stop airing because
they don't have material to work
with.
Portrayal of God and biblical events in 'Garden
of Eden' stirs
.
debate among cast members
By
MATT DEVAN
Circte Contributor
The
Marist College Council on
Theatre Arts' latest production is
about a controversial topic in any
public forum: religion. "Children
of"Eden" -is based on several sto-
ries found in the Bible, including
Adam and Eve in the Garden of
Eden, Noah and his ark and Cain
and Abet: The
_
controversy sur-
rounding tne production is not
limited to the topic itself. The
representation and portrayal of
God in the play is also debatable.
The production opens with the
entire cast singing about God
being the creator of all things,
including his children in the
form of two humans, Adam and
Eve. The entire set is dark at the
onset with the exception of
smaM
lights held by each cast member,
but the stage is lit up only when
God gives the command, "Let
there be light."
The play supports the theory
that God is the creator of all
things, but, as cast member Scott
Brady points out, there are
aspects that still leave it open to
interpretation and help prevent
the play from preaching to its
audi~,
t}A
S C C B ~ ~ m ,
BYe,,,
Cain and Abel find a Ring of
Stones shows that there were
other people on the earth," Brady
said. "That insinuates that there
was some other divine creation
before or after Adam and Eve."
The portrayal of God in the
play opened the door for debate,
especially among the cast mem-
bers. God is not shown in a pos-
itive light in several instances of
the play. In one scene, Eve talks
back to God in a way that caused
him to raise his hand in a threat-
ening manner, as if he was going
to hit her. Jeff Hogan, who plays
Sham in the play, felt that God
was portrayed negatively at
times.
"I felt that the play portrayed
God as selfish and bitter," Hogan
said. "I don't see God that way at
all."
Brady, who plays Ham, felt
that this portrayal was done for a
specific purpose.
"I feel that he was portrayed
much more as a human than as a
God," Brady said. "The God in
the show was benevolent and
kind, yet at the same time could
be jealous, cruel, mean and
harsh."
One scene that shows God's
vengeance is when God openly
admits that he wants to rid the
earth of all descendents of Cain.
This is tied in with the story of
Noah's ark as it is God's reason-
ing behind the flood he instills
on the earth. He is vengeful
because Cain killed his brother
Abel and he wants everyone who
bore the scar of Cain to be
washed away. Matt Angrisani,
who played Noah, felt that this
aspect was not unfairly por-
trayed.
"God's attempt to rid the earth
of the race of Cain is actually
somewhat biblically accurate,"
Angrisani said. "Earth had been
plagued with people who were
sinners and criminals and God
wanted to start fresh via the
flood."
The material the play was
based on could have caused
issues for the cast. However, as
Angrisani pointed out, steps
were taken to make sure that did-
n't happen.
"We as a cast talked quite a bit
about the Bible and 'Children of
Eden,"' Angrisani said. "The
cast members•all have their own
interpretations and beliefs and
they all were respected."
Many of the cast members
looked beyond the religious
aspects of the play and tried to
find a deeper meaning.
"This show was in no way reli-
gious, it was about family, hope
and love," Brady said. "The mes-
sage of the show goes far beyond
the scripture that was translated
into song or the chapters of the
bible that were paraphrased in
the script."
While the presentation of the
stories from the Bible was a con-
troversial issue for some of the
cast, many members side-
stepped the controversy by
appreciating the production as a
whole, no matter what the sub-
ject. The attitude towards the
material from the Bible was that
they are just stories that could be
interpreted like any other.
Stephanie Rockwell, who plays
Yonah, personified this attitude.
"All religion aside, I think that
anyone can appreciate the sto-
ries," Rockwell said.

NCAA eligibility issue keeps McCroskey off court
By ANDY ALONGI
Sports Co-Editor
When the Marist men's basket-
ball team took the court for
its
season opener against Delaware,
senior
forward
Louie
Mccroskey was dressed not in
the Red Foxes' home whites, but
in a button down dress shirt and
jeans.
A release distributed approxi-
mately twenty minutes before
tip-off read:
"Marist
senior Louie
Mccroskey is being held out
from today's game because of a
pending NCAA eligibility issue
that Marist inherited from his
previous
institution."
Marist head coach Matt Brady
said the reason for McCroskey
being
scratched
from the
line-up
had
nothing
to do with academic
standing issues.
"It
has nothing to do with aca-
demics," Brady
said.
Brady add~d that the
situation
regarding McCroskey's eligibili-
ty was only learned about in
the
past few weeks.
"It was not known about upon
bringing him into the college."
The NCAA policy on a transfer
is the athlete must sit out
"one
academic year in residence."
Furthermore,. the student-athlete
must be under full-time enroll-
ment and be registered for class-
es by the twelfth day of the term.
More information on the transfer
policies of the NCAA can be
found on www.ncaa.org.
Brady said that Mccroskey
is
currently serving an NCAA sus-
pension and will be held out for
no more than three games.
"He is
going to have to serve an
NCAA instituted suspension,"
he
said, "and we'll move on from
there.
·
He will be playing in
Puerto
Rico."
Brady said that McCroskey
would likely be in the starting
line-up
when Marist plays in the
O'Reilly
Auto Parts Puerto
Rico
Tournament.
"I think he would
be
in the
starting line-up,"
Brady
said.
"We
thought
that
DeJuan
[Goodwin] would
come off the
bench.
We'll
play
it by
ear
when
Louie gets
back."
Mccroskey can
certainly
help
the Foxes
once he
is cleared to
play. Voted
to the Second
Team
All-MAAC
pre-season team
before
setting foot on the floor
for a
MAAC team, Marist is
excited
to
have him
play.
Mccroskey
could be
a great
asset
on defense as he
accumu-
lated
75 steals during his career
at
Syracuse.
Mccroskey
was unavailable to
comment on
the
situation.

Mari st defense leads Foxes in upset win
By
GREG HRINYA
Assistant Editor
Sitting at 1-8 with two games
remaining in the season, not one
player quit on the team
.
That
character showed on Saturday in
New Rochelle, N.Y against the
Iona Gaels.
The Red Foxes upset the No. 5
ranked team in the Sports
Network's Mid-Major Rankings
and Marist celebrated, earning a
share of the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
title on Iona's home field with a
17 -14 win. Marist kicker Chris

When the clock struck zero, pleted three more passes to set up

lasted 4:39 and the Marist
offense traveled 76 yards to take
the lead.
Collins' field goal allowed the
Red Foxes to walk out of Iona in
a three-way tie for the MAAC
title. Marist, Iona, and Duquesne
share a 2-1 conference record.
With the title on the line for both
teams, Marist rallied from 14
down in the first half, something
the team had not accomplished
all season.
"It
puts a smile on everyone's
face," head coach Jim Parady
said.
"It
was a great football
game to be involved with, back
and forth, down 14-0, and the
kids showed a lot of heart and
character coming back from
that."
Senior linebacker Chris Byron
said the Red Foxes proved what
they're capable of with their per-
formances in the last two weeks.
"It

of character," Byron said. "To be

"I

"I
was very
surprised they threw the football
on that down and distance.
"He stepped in and I've seen
him do it in practice and it was
nice to see him do it in the
game," Parady added.

momentum to the second half

FCS. After opening with two
consecutive punts, Marist went
on a 12 play, 75-yard drive to tie
Iona at 14 with 11 :06 remaining
in the game. Ehikioya capped off
a drive in which the Red Foxes
converted on three third downs
with a 6-yard touchdown plunge.
"I
felt good at that point
because I thought we had a lot of
momentum," Parady said.
"I
felt
good when we tied it, but I knew
that next possession was criti-
cal."
Marist's defense stiffened in
the second half and allowed zero
points to Iona. After struggling
through parts of the season, the
defense enabled the Marist
offense to take advantage of the
No. 1 ranked defense among the
Mid-Majors.
"The last few weeks we really
simplified things [ on defense] as
far as a coaching standpoint,"
Byron said. "Defensively we're
running things a little simpler
and putting the spotlight on the
defensive players themselves. It
took a lot of thinking away from
the game and just let guys do

The Red Foxes played their
toughest schedule to date this
season and set a precedent for the
future by defeating two formida-
ble opponents.
"I
think this is a team that puts
in a lot of work in the off-season,
even in-season, and the record

Byron said. "In the upcoming

W omen's soccer falls short in final vs. Loyola
By
RICH ARLEO
Assistant Editor
It was an exciting weekend
here in Poughkeepsie for the
women's soccer Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
tc;>urnament. The hometown Red
Foxes were able to make it to the
championship game by defeating
Nfagara 2-1 in the semi-finals on
Friday, but had a disappointing
end to a great season as they fell
to Loyola 2-1 on Sunday.
The tournament began on
F,riday with #3 Loyola defeating
#4
Fairfield in the opener. Then
in the nightcap, # I Marist was
able to take care of #4 Niagara in
front of an excited home crowd
d~spite the cold and rainy condi-
tions.
Niagara got off to a quick 1-0
lead when Christina Langrell
pµnched one in after Marist's
defense was not able to get the
ball away from their net after a
!'fiagara comer kick. The Foxes
ahswered back just minutes later
when sophomore Alexandra
ljauterbom was able to get a
great shot over Niagara goalie
Ashleigh Bowers to tie the game
at one.
While Niagara got off to a
quick start in the game, Marist
took over by the end of the first
h~f, and the team was able to
lqtep control going in to the sec-
ond half of play. Rreshman keep-
er Allison Lane had another great
~me making a few impressive
saves on some tough shots by
Niagara early which helped to
keep the Foxes in the game. They
kept the momentum going in
what was a see-saw second half
that saw sophomore Kate Fox get
a yellow card.
At one point, both Fox and
freshman Merilynn Esteve, the
teams' leading scorers, were on
the bench for Marist. Both were
able to come in with fresh legs
with about 16 minutes to go and
the score still tied at one, and just
minutes after, the Foxes were
able to get the go-ahead goal
when sophomore Katie Zasly
somehow got the ball past the
keeper amidst a big scrum after
the Keri Koegel free kick.
Marist held off Niagara for the
final minutes and celebrated the
2-1 victory, knowing they were
headed to the championship
game on Sunday.
"We were very elated," Head
Coach Elizabeth Roper said. "I
was so impressed with the team,
everyone stepped up their games
to make sure we were going to
the championship, and the
excitement from the home crowd
was phenomenal."
There was much excitement
surrounding the championship
game between Marist and
Loyola. Loyola ended the season
undefeated in MAAC play, but
also had four ties which led to
their #3 seed in the tournament.
They showed to be a great defen-
sive team all year, and they
proved that in the finals.
"Loyola came out strong right
from the start," Roper said.
"[Loyola] had a shot on goal
right away ... I think we got a lit-
tle intimidated there."
Loyola capitalized on Marist's
slow start as they went out to a
quick 2-0 lead, dominating play
for most of the first half.
"The first goal they scored on
us was similar to the goal in the
Niagara scored ... [Getting the
ball away from our zone on
rebounds] has been a problem for
us all season," the coach said.
"For them to get that PK [penal-
ty kick] in there at halftime, I
told them you've came back
from
a
two
goal
deficit
before ... we have to go and we
have to dictate the pace."
That's exactly what Marist did
in the second half, as they domi-
nated Loyola and out shot them
11-1, getting numerous opportu-
nities and keeping the pressure
on Loyola for the entire half.
It
was not enough; however, as
Loyola's defense proved once
again to be a strong force led by
keeper Brittany Henderson.
"We had so many opportuni-
ties," the coach said. "Henderson
has such greatpresence ... we had
ten comer kicks in the half, but
she was just eating the up ... we
had eleven shots to their one. I
just don't. think after that first
half we got into our momentum,
we never got into our flow of the
game."
After the game, sophomores
Maria Baez and Katie Zasly were
named
to
the
2007 All-
Tournament team, along with
senior
teammate
Melanie
Ondrejik.
The loss was a disappointing
end to what was a great and his-
toric season for the Marist
women's soccer team. It was the
first time they ever went into the
tournament as the # 1 seed and
the young team really grew and
improved all throughout the sea-
son and never quit until the final
second. The team is losing two of
their senior leaders next year, but
will still have their young core
intact and will even have some
new arrivals next season that
could possibly have as much
impact on the team as this year's
senior class did.
"Melanie Ondrejik and Keri
Koegel... this team could not
have asked for better leader-
ship ... they brought a great per-
sonality to this team," Roper
said. "[Next season] the program
loses two great players, but we
now know how hard we have to
fight...we have to work on get-
ting two consistent halves for
next season. This team matured
and grew so much this sea-
son ... we had players stepping
up, we have an experienced crew
here that's going to start working
hard ... we know what it feels like
to watch the other team cele-
brate, now we want to be the
ones celebrating.
"It took a lot for us to get here,"
Roper said. "We set our goal last
spring and the girls know that

.it starts now. We grew so

Benjamin, Devezin lead Marist past Delaware
in opener!
!
By GREG HRINYA
Assistant Editor
After losing Jared Jordan, Will
Whittington, and James Smith,
Marist fans anxiously awaited
the Red Foxes' season opener
against Delaware. Any doubts
that Marist would not reload for
the 2007-2008 campaign, how-
ever, were soon put to rest.
Marist endured a slow start to
begin the season against the
{)niversity of Delaware Fightin'
Blue Hens but netted 53 second
half points en route to an 89-78
win.
The Red Foxes' non-confer-
ence win gives the team some
momentum heading into the

points to lead Miami in its sea-

team's leading scorer last sea-
son.
The Red Foxes play a more
aggressive style of defense this
year, according to head coach
Matt Brady. Coach Brady uti-
lizes
.
Marist's speed in an
attempt to force more turnovers.
"It's a lot of fun to play that
way," senior forward Ryan
Stilphen said. "We have a lot of
quick guards, and it's a good
way to get everybody into the
game. I thought I would get
exhausted doing it, but we do it
everyday in practice, and I felt
fine."
The Red Foxes expected to see
two of their newest weapons at
home on Saturday, but both
Ryan Schneider and Louie
Mccroskey were held out of
action. Schneider suffered a
shoulder injury and is day-to-
day while Mccroskey
_
missed
the game due to a pending
NCAA eligibility issue.
The Red Foxes' bench high-
lights significant depth. Without
McCroskey and Schneider, the
Red Foxes poured in 89 points
.
"We're 11, 12, almost 13
deep," Brady said. "I'd like to
have all the bullets in the
gun
because
of
the non-conference
acter.
"I think it's going to
be outstanding, because
we don't have a selfish
guy on the team;' Brady
said. ''Not that we ever
did last year, but this
team really doesn't care.
I think everybody wants
to rebound the ball, and
everybody wants to pass
the ball and the chem-
istry will get better as
we go."

as the Red Foxes domi-
schedule play. I didn't put the
schedule together with the
assumption that we were going
to have two really high level
players sitting with me in street
clothes, but when we get them
back, we can figure out the
chemistry and the minutes. The
sky's the limit for this group."
While Coach Brady looks to
evaluate the talent he has, he
anticipates a high chemistry
level based on the players' char-
nated the second half to
send the home crowd happy
with an 89-78 victory
.
Benjamin, stepping into a new
role as a starter, does not feel
pressure to compensate for the
loss of Jordan, Whittington, and
Smith.
"Everybody on the team has
the ability to score the ball so it
doesn't necessarily have to be
us in the front court," Benjamin
said.
"
Whoever plays best on
that.day, we'll take it."
When point guard David
Devezin drained a mid-range
jumper with 16:56 remaining in
the first half to knot the game at
4, the Jared Jordan era officially
shifted to the David Devezin
era.
In
his first game manning the
point, Devezin tallied 16 points
and dished out s
i

minutes of ac
t
ion. The guard
from Houston, Texas displayed
his speed attacking the basket
and running the court defensive-
ly
.
"David has an extra gear here
that allows him to get free and
clear of most defenders," Bi;ady
said. "As he learns what his
teammates can do, since he's
only been with them a short
t
i
me, he's going to be a really
unique player for us. I've said to
David that I think he's got a
chance to be the best point
guard in the league
,
" Brady
added.
After Devezin drained a free
throw with 2:42 remaining in
the game, the Red Foxes
grabbed a 15-point lead, their
largest of the night.
The Foxes had five players
score in double figures,
i
nclud-
ing freshmen guards Dejaun
Goodwin and Jay Gavin. Both
guards contributed 13 points
apiece.
Dejaun Goodwin got the start
in place of Mccroske
