Housing shortage ousts sophomores from Marian Hall
Second
year
students offered sections of Foy; upperclassmen, transfers get Residence Inn option
By

This year's freshman class
enrollment soared to 10 IO mem-
bers. The large influx of new stu-
dents precipitated a
hou
s
ing
shortage
that resulted in sopho-
mores
moving into the Foy and
Lower New Townhouses,
typi-
cally reserved for
uppercla
ss-
men.
The Department of Housing
initially sought out the help of
local
hotels and struck gold at
the Residence Inn. Marist was
able to guarantee occupancy in
over
20
rooms
in the
inn in
exchange for a lower rate. Now

Government, and gave
them
the
choice
between Foy and Up~r
New."
In the end, SGA chose to hold
on to Upper New, allowing the
sophomores on
the
waiting
list
to
be
allotted
housing
in
the
covet-
ed
Foy
and
Lower New
Townhouses, which,
in
previous
years, were primarily only given
to
seniors. On Foy; English said
"It's a big bone of contention
with
the
students right now."
With the school's rapid expan-
sion, ~e logical
thing
to do
would
be
to
build new dormito-
ries.
The
Fulton
Street
Townhouses, which opened
in
the fall of 2005, house 248 stu-
dents, and boast gorgeous
living
,
dining, and lounging
areas
.'
However, some students said
they are not
thrilled.
"I don't really think it's
Housing's fault," said Sarah
Gunner, a senior who opted
to
go
live at the Residence Inn when
faced with
disappointing housing
at
the
end of the year.
"
The
y
are
trying really hard to get all the
students
on
campus
and living
where they need to be, but Marist
is expanding so quickly that the
sc
hool
just doesn't have the
resources
to
accommodate
everyone
right now."
The pool

the Residence Inn Is one
of
the accommodations available to
upperclass
students who choose
to
ltve there. Twenty suites in the
hotel
are
occupied
by
Martst students, comprlslng transfers and those wishing a change
of
scenery.
The
Inn
Is
a ten minute drtve
down Route 9.
Gunner said,
"It's

I think

solu-
tion underway, Housing then had
to decide what
to
do with the
overflow of sophomores. The
Student Government Association
(SGA) was consulted to repre-
sent student's views regarding
the
situation, according to
Student
Body
President
Maryellen Conway.
''Housing
came to us to get our
opinion on the situation," said
Conway.
"They
wanted to see
what the students really wanted."
The core of the situation
seemed to
be
a classic problem
of supply and
demand.
With thi!I
year's froehman class reaching
record humbets,
housing
was put
in quite
a
predicament
having
to
find residences for all of them,
After placing_ 90 freshman in
Marian, which
had
previously
been
primari~ sophomore hous-
ipg,
the issue became a matter of
deciding where to house the dis-
placed sophomores. According
to
Director of Housing Sarah
English, the decision was made
at
that
point to break down some
of the traditionally senior
hous-
.students."
While they
do

"Sean"
had been
smoking
marijuana for
'
years, ever
since high school. Why did
he do this? Because that's
what preppy white kids do
to feel cool, and because
going
and buying real drugs
like heroin and cocaine
requires them to go into the
city to buy
them,
which is
a
scary
proposition for Mr.
Abercrombie
&
Fitch. None
of his habits had changed
when he got to Marist, and
this is why he felt it was
perfectly
·ac.ceptable
to
break out his bong on a
Tuesday afternoon at
about
3:15.
He opened his iTunes
p l ~ . and.,pr.om-pLl)f p.ut
o.u
:b~1g:o~h~r1:::n::~~h ::
smoking
pot, and also a
sign
that
said
person has
never actually taken the
time to listen to the
l
yrics
to "Buffalo Soldier"
or
"Redemption
Song."
As
luck may have it, this was
the time the RD decided to
do a round of the premises.
Need
l
ess to say, Sean's
good time was about to
come to a sudden end. The
RD opened the door to the
room, and the smoke
bil-
lowed out like from Snoop
Dogg's
dressing
room.
Using a searchlight to
go
through the room, the RD
found Sean, the bong, a
Ricky Williams jersey, 14
opened
packages
of
Twinkies, and a T-shirt
from the Dave Matthews
Band
1998
World Tour, cer-
tainly a rare collector's
item for the pothead inter-
ested
in
overrated jam
bands. The bong was con-
fiscated and later given
away to a prospective buyer
who only went by the name
of
"Bil
l
C." He said he
tried pot before, but
"didn't
inhale," and
since
his wife
is busy with her job, he had
a lot of free time and want-
ed to try again. Good for
him.

Poor, poor "John" -- he'd
been away from his
girl-
friend for weeks,
ever since
they both went away to dif-
ferent schools. But luckily
for him, his girlfriend and
he planned for her to
come
up to
visit
during mid-
semester break
so
they
could spend lhe we.kend
together while
everyone
else had left,
so they
could

and then
she could swipe in, walk

and spend an enjoyable

Unfortunately for John and
Girlfriend,
the
security
guard working that
evening
was at the top of his game
and not
too
sauced while on
the job. He noticed that the
picture on the card featured
a person who had a beard,
and the young lady in front
of him clearly did not have
a beard. Maybe she had
shaved it off. He'd been to
the circus
enough
times to
know
women
like
that
existed.
But upon further
inspection, it was revealed
it wasn't her card at all!

A couple weeks ago,
"Stone"
read an article in
the Generator about all the
special
privileges
that
Marist athletes receive. The
jig was up.
No longer
would he be able to take
all
the
classes
he
wanted,
cheat
on
all his tests, or
hang
out
with
all
the
groupies a
young
man
could
want.
Everything about
Marist athletics had been
exposed due to an honest,
well-researched article
_by
§o=on,

for th&ir
participation in approxi-
mately
zero sports
on cam-
pus. Stone was distraught.
"What

Why'?! WHY?!" he asked.
Over the course of a couple
weeks, he
slowly
fell
into
the depths of an already-
present penchant for alco-
hol. (He
.
could
get away
with
this
because
the
school
turned a blind
eye
when he played with a bot~
tie of Jack Daniels in his
back pocket, another perk
of being
a
college athlete.)
Stone spent all of his mid-
semester break
drinking
and drinking some more
.
His
college
life
would
never be
·
1he same and
he
knew it
,
so
it's tough for
one to blame him for his
actions. Unfortunately, the

Stone came back
to
school
on
Sunday
night at around
9:30,
and
attempted
to
stumble into Champagnat,
but was turned away due to
his intoxicated state. He
was able to get the first
available
ride
to
St.
Francis, though. Getting
one final use out of his ath-
letic privileges before the
student
body
rebelled

~Alex"
was a troubled
young
man, and
got
caught
up with the wrong
crowd at
a young age. Before long,
he was skipping
school,
getting into random fights
in the street, listening to
Beethoven,
engaging
in
acts of ultra-vicHence, and
hanging out at milk bars.
IM
our
y;iuni
~r-0rni,milt'l
story
takes a drastic turn
here.
See,
Alex and two
of
his friends decided to break
into
a
house they knew
was
ocbupie-ti

to
see
if she was there, dis-
tract her while the other
two waited outside.
But
a
scuffle ensued, and the old
lady
was
murdered.
Unbeknownst to Alex
,
his
friends had planned to turn
on him, and when he left
the house to run (see, the
o
l
d lady had already called
the cops}
,
they attack•d
him with a milk bottle, and
he was left on the ground to
be taken by the police. He
was given a life
sentence,
but when in jail, he
seemed
to take a liking to the
teachings of the
Bible.
Even luckier for Alex, the
government
had a new pro-
gram it wanted to test out
on an inmate. He was cho-
sen
to
undergo
the
Ludovico
Treatment,
in
which criminals
are shown
violent images in a torture
type
setting
in an
effort
to
offset their criminal ten-
dencies. Alex was released
to the public world when
his treatment was ruled
a
success, but he had become
a shell of a man, unable to
show or
feel normal human
emotions
without feeling
incredibly ill. It was a
shame,
then, at that time he
ran into his two former
friends, both of whom had
become
SNAP
officers.
They took our hero to an
abandoned
field,
where
they
attempted to kill him
by sticking
his head under
water in a basin.
Alex
was
left for dead. He was no
longer
a
member of society,
and had nowhere to
go.
Eventually,
he found his
way to Marist
College,

of

came
to visit him, and told him
they would do
our
best to
make him well again. To
this Alex

Staff Writer
Tl}e most anticipated Men's

memory, tipped off on Sunday as
the White team defeated the Red
Team 69-49 in the Red/White
preseason scrimmage.
Senior Will Whittington paced
the White Team with 21 points
including
5-7 from three point
range.
Junior
'
forward Shea
McNamara chipped
in
with 19
points and seven rebounds.
· In a losing effort, senior James
Smith
recorded
a
double-double
21
points
including 4-7 from
three point range and a game
high
11
boards.
Head Coach Matt Brady was
pleased with both teams' per-
formances, but there is plenty of
room for improvement.
"Both teams played pretty
well," Brady said. "We tried
to
make each of the
teams
as even
as
possible. Since we have only
been practicing for one week, we
need to play a
lot
faster and
screen better."

Junior
Ryan Stilphen
echoed the thoughts of his coach
adding
that
it was a good intro-
duction for the new players.
"The game went well and there
is stuff that we still need to work
on," Stilphen said.
'This was a
good opportunity for the new
guys on the team to see the style
of basketball that we play here.

S;unday afternoon to gain a 1-0

Former gay congressman's spouse ineligible for benefits
BY
CHRISTINE ROCHELLE
Opinion Editor
The first openly gay member of
Congress, Gerry Studds, died
early this month and the state of
Massachusetts refuses to pay
death benefits to his spouse.
In
2004, the state legalized gay
marriage
and soon after Studds
married his partner Dean Hara.
Yet, the federal
government
con-
siders Hara ineligible to receive
Studds'
estimated
$114,377
annual pension.
If
he was eligi-
ble, he would have received
about $62,000 a year during his
lifetime.
While the marriage was legal
,
the
1996
Defense of Marri'age
Act does not recognize the mar-
riage. Same-sex spouses are seen
as ineligible to receive any mar-
riage benefits, along with people
convicted of espionage or trea-
son.
Similar to Foley, Studds had a
sexual relationship
with
a
teenage congressional page and
then
later
admitted that he was
gay. The
scandal
broke in 1983
should
have purchased
•
the
option of an insurable interest
annuity which is not subject to
restriction under the Defense of
Marriage Act. (www.mlive.com)
The issue at
hand here is
complicated and
the fust of its
kind and it is
tragic that Hara
is being thrown
into the spot-
Even though the marriage Is recognized by
Massachusetts, It does not have to be recognized by
another state and more Importantly the federal gov-
ernment. While the marriage was legal, the 1996
Defense of Marriage ~ct does not recognize It.
The

Marriage
Act,

light during his grieving time. If
nothing immediate can be done
to ensure that Hara is given what
he has a right to, and then a
change
shou
ld
be made for
future cases.
and Studds was continually
elected into office until his retire-
ment in 1997.
Peter Graves, a
spokesman
for
the
Office
of
Personnel
Management,
said
that Studds

I I
Clinton in 1996 in response
to
the possibility of a state
legaliz-
ing
same-sex
maniages. First,
"No state
need recognize a mar-
riage
between persons of the
same
sex,
even if the marriage
was concluded or recognized in
another state." The second
part
states, "The federal government
may not recognize same-sex or
polygamous marriages for any
purpose, even if concluded or
recognized by one of
the
states."
Therefore, even
though
the
marriage
is
recognized by
Massachusetts, it does not· have
to
be recognized
by
another state
and more importantly the federal
government. Way to go, Bill. The
democrats don't even have the
right to point fingers at the con-
servatives for this bright idea (I
wonder what
Hillary
would say).
Gary
Busek, legal
director
for
Gay and Lesbian Advocates and
Defenders, said that the debate of
Studds' case may
educate
the
members of Congress.
"Now
they have a death in the
congressional family of one
of
their distinguished members
whose spouse is being treated
differently than any of their
spouses,"
Buseck
said.
(www.topix.net)
Massachusetts at the very least
should make it their priority to
settle the matter, considering that
in the future they may be in the
same situation with another
gay
congressman.
Only then will Hara feel the
true meaning behind the words,
"for liberty andjustic~ for
all."
Nation in need of drastic solution to No Child Left Behind Act
BY DANIEL BLACK
Staff Writer
Herewith, we have
over
the
past three weeks identified
numerous
problems
guaranteed
by the No
Child Left
Behind Act
if it is allowed by this nation's
citizens to
continue.
We have
explored how,
through
the act,
the executive branch
of
the feder-
al
government
has
overstepped
the bounds
of
its power
and
intruded into
state and
local
authority
domains
,
doing
so
to

Children.
We have exam-
ined how rigorous testing insteud
of
proper
educational resourcing
will likely lead to macro-level
failure, failures that
will
be easy
to blame on the
chi
ldr
en
rather
than those truly
r
esponsible.
And
lastly, we have unearthed the true
colors
of
this
act, exposing
it
as
flatly racist and
class-discrimina-
tory to the
extent
that it has
dragged the
state of
education
over a
century
into the past.

stand
what
exactly
the act is
functioning
to
accomplish.
Though in the past I've written

from proper

in

those thought to
be

vate
forces influence these new
education systems.
It
is also
highly
significant
to recognize
that the
government
is, at least in
theory, accountable to the public;
corporations
are not. They can
operate
freely and independently
from progressive education leg-
islation that has taken genera-
tions
of
fighting to acquire for
urgency of these
injustices iS important, but act-
ing on realizations is another
thing unto itself.
Dissuading
government
from
behaving
against public interest is becom-
ing an
increasingly
difficult
endeavor (implicit testimony to
who government actually repre-
sents), but it is not impossible.
Exemplary
victories
exist,
though at this point they are not
as
large
scale as are the crimes
they combat, but they are
still
hard-won
and
significant.
The
Civil Rights Project of Harvard
University
has
actually
researched and
written a
com-
prehensive
account of
individual
cases that have been brought
against the federal
government
and won; it
also goes
into detail
about how to take
education
back from those
who
have
stolen
it. The document,
called
"The
Unraveling
of No Child
Left
Behind:
How
Negotiated
Changes
Transform the
Law",
can
be
useful, but not
a~
useful
,
I
believe, as
grassroots
action.
People need to get involved with
education.
If
we want
our chil-
dren, and indeed
all children
,
to
have the highest
quality educa-
ti0ri possffile, we must
be
vigi-
lant
about
hunting down
and
exterminating anything
that
attempts to undermine this
goal.
This
sort
of vigilance requires
social action
,
solidarity with
teachers
and adm
in
istrators
,
involving the kids themselves in
the struggle to protect their
own
education,
and
overall a side-by-

forward movement
of each
of these groups in
an effort
to
restore democracy
and resist
oppressive legislation like
No
Child
Left
Behind.
Borne primarily of
objective
logic and
unbiased
reasoning,
these
assertions
leave the reader
with little doubt of their legitima-

early the next da
y
for a huge cal-
culus test. So you stumble to
the
medicine cabinet and find two
bottle
s
. The
first
reads "Nyquil"
and it instantl
y
reminds you of
the undeniabl
y
catchy commer-
cial jirtgle "The sniffling, sneez-
in
g, c

,
aching, fever, and

cin

"Clarine

" and you can immedi-

"
Which medication is
right
for
you
?
Do you have a cold? The
flu
?
Or could
i
t
be,
AN ALL-
GERY? Many people are under
the assumption that a cold and an
allergy are more or less the same,
and as a result,
think
that cold
and allergy medications can
be
used
interchangeably
,
This can
be a very dangerous assumption
but, once you are aware of what
an allergy is, and
are
informed of
the difference
s
between
an
aller-
gy
and a cold, it will become
obviou
s
whether a dosage of
Clarinex
,
or Nyquil will do the
trick.

,
According to KidsHealth
.
org
,
in
an attempt to protect the body,
the immune system of
the
aller-
gic person forms antibodies
known as immunoglobulin
E.
Those antibodies then cause
a
l
lergy cells to release chemica
l
s
such as histamine, into the
bloodstream to defend against
the allergen "invader." The
chemicals released are exactly
what trigger the symptoms com-
mon
in
a
ll
ergic reactions.
A
l
lergies
can
develop at any
point in life, and can
be
triggered
by a
l
au
n
dry list of different
things. There are two major
branches of a
ll
ergens
,
airborne
and food. KidsHealth.org lists
the five most popular airborne
a
ll
ergies as dust-mites
,
pollen
,
mold,
pet
dander, and cockroach-
es. It names the five most preva-
lent food a
ll
ergies as cow's milk,
wheat
,
soy
,
nuts, eggs and fish.
Insect stings, medication
s
, and
chemicals have also been known
to be a cause of allergies.
In
other words
,
if
you think you can
lock yourself
i
ndoor
s
for the
remainder of your life and hide
from developing allergens
,
you
are
sadly mistaken.
Allergens can
be
found any-
where that you can be
,
Since
most of us are exposed to these
allergens on a daily basis, it still
may be difficult to decipher
whether
y
_
ou
~ t
that nagging
cold going around yo
u
're school,
or you have developed an aller
-
gy.
But, there
are
severa
l
key
symptoms, many which are very
distinct from your common cold
symptoms that elicit the presence
of an allergy. Medicine.net lists
the parts of
the
body that are
prone to react to allergies,
as
the
eyes, nose, lungs
,
skin, and
stomach. Common symptoms,
accordi
n
g to KidsHea
lth
.org, of
airborne allergies include sneez-
ing
,
itchy nose, nasal congestion,
cough
,
allerg
i
c conjunctivitis, or
allergic s
h
iners {dark circles
around the eyes). Common food
a
ll
ergy symptoms differ depe
n
d-
ing on the amount of food eaten,
and the sensitivity to that food.
They include an itchy mouth,
hiv
e
s, a rash, itchy nose, diar-
rhea
,
and vomiting
.
It is howev
-
e
r
; alway
s
important to consu
lt
with a Docto
r
before deciding
whether or not you have
an
aller•
gy.
Dr. Morris says that a doctor
can administe
r
several tests that
can medically prove you have an
allergy. These tests incl
u
de skin
prick tests, a phidatop inhalant
screen, food a
ll
ergy screens
,
over
450
individual RAST tests,
as well tests that assess allergy
cell levels in the b
l
ood and in
nasal samp
l
e
s
. These tests are all
very un
i
que and extract very dif-
ferent responses depending on
the type of allergen, so it is vital

which is right for you.
So, you've done
g
self diagno-
sis and then made an always
eventfu
l
trip to your Doctor
,
and
fina
ll
y have determined that
Clarinex may have won the
sought after position of curin
g
you're ailments. You start to
wonder, why me, why do I have
an
a
ll
ergy? There can be three
answers to your burning question
according to
Dr.
Morris. The first
is genet
i
cs. Many families have
genes that are significant in the
development
of
allergies
.
Me
d
ici
n
e
.
net says
"If
n
either
parent is allergic, t
h
e c
h
ance that
you will have a
ll
ergies is about
I
5
percent.
If
one p{lfent is aller-
gic, your risk inc
r
eases to 30 per-
cent and
i
f both
are
allergic
,
your
risk is greater than 60 percent."
The second is the home environ-
ment. The envi
r
onment of a chi
l
d
in its first year of life plays
a
huge role. Examples of environ-
mental factors that can lead to
allergies include, if a mother
smokes, the i
n
fant's diet, air pol-
l
ut
i
on, med
i
cations used
,
and
births occurring fight before
spring pollen season. The third
answer is exposure to common
a
ll
ergens. If a chi
l
d
is
exposed to
any poten
t
ial a
ll
ergens
,
even
moderately
,
he/she is at a greater
risk for developing one.
You may think to yourself
,
"It's
great now that I know what
an
allergy is,
I know
that it's not
a
cold
,
and I know why I may have
an
allergy
,
but can someone tell
me
what I should do next before
I
start popping pills
?
" When the
a
llerge
n
that i
s
triggering these
pesky problems is identified
,
I
promi
se,
relief is just around the
comer. Or. Morri
s
said the next
step is to be
g
in avoidance meas-
ures. Allergy shots may also
be
administered. If that does not
work,
C
larinex is not the only
alJergy medication on the mar-
ket. Claritin, Allegra

Zyrtec, and
Alapert are popular dru
gs
as
well. Next time

Men's cross-country prepares for MAAC Championships
By
DANIEL BARRACK
Staff Writer
A
first
place finish in last
Tuesday
'
s wann up meet with
Iona and Manhattan College has
the Red Foxes confident going
into this Friday
'
s Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
Championships at Van Cortlandt
Park.
The results of last Tuesday's
meet were not significant, but it
·
gave Marist some practice on the
same course that will be hosting
its biggest meet thus far this sea-
son.
Unlike most championships,
the MAAC Championships for
men's cross country is
a battle for
s
econd place
.
Iona
College is the third ranked team
in the nation
,
and has won the
championship
l5
consecutive
years.
"Iona is equivalent to Duke
basketball. No one can touch
them," Colaizzo said.
"Our
goal
is to finish second, which would
be just as good as winning first
place itself."
Marist has finished in second
place behind Iona in I 998
,
2003,
and most recently in
2005.
A
repeat performance in
2006
is
exactly what the Red Foxes are
striving for
,
and it is what they
expect going
in
on Friday
.
The MAAC Championships
are just one of three champi-
onship meets that await Marist
in
the upcoming weeks. The NCAA
Northeast Regionals will take
place on Nov.
11
,
and the IC4A
Championships follow one week
later.
"Each of these meets are

Head Coach Matt Brady was
pleased with both teams' per-

room for improvement.
"Both teams played pretty
well," Brady said. "We tried

adding
that
it was a good intro-
duction for the new players.
"The game went well and there
is stuff that we still need to work
on," Stilphen said.
'This was a
good opportunity for the new
guys on the team to see the style
of basketball that we play here.

(MAAC) opponent since 2003
when they trounced the Loyola

in the McCann Center
.
Marist won in three games, by a
team in blocks with four.

"I hope that it means that we are

"I can't

case
,
but the fact that we are con-

"
The Greyhounds were led by

This is the second three-game

Red Foxes. The
first
one came with
two wins against Mary

and Eastern

Hanna said the team

as p

at a higher level since the second

"I'm not sure it means a lot in
terms of long-term growth
,"
he
said.
"It
does a lot for our confi-

had them down 2-0 and didn't fin-
ish the job when we were down
there [at Loyo

The last 3-0 sweep pt.it on by the
Foxes was agains
