The dates are set and Marist's
Student Government Association
is gearing up for the spring 2006
elections. The search for a new
administration begins next week
with
information sessions next
Tuesday through Thursday at
9:30 p.m., in the S.GA. office,
located across from the College
Activities in the Student Center.
One role of the student govern-
ment is to act as representatives
of every student on or off cam-
pus, on various issues that are
brought
up at Board of Trustee
Meetings,
which
President
Dennis Murray is an inlegral
part
of.
"I think
of
Marist as a 'student
centered college'," Murray said.
"The
Student
Government
Association
is
at the forefront of
that philosophy."
From overseeing all 66 clubs
on campus
,
handling student's
parking appeals, debating houn
of operation of the library and
McCann recreational area, to of the planning and organization
aiding in the process
to decide of the elections this year and has
what the Marist students want to made some changes to the sys-
see
as
the next addition to the
campus, the organization focuses
on all students' views
,
opinions,
ideas, and suggestions, to better
the Marist
life.
"In the Board of Trustees
,
fac-
ulty, committees, and student
population, you can see the influ-
ence of our student leaders
,"
Murray said.
Elections Commissioner
Corrie-Beth Hughes is in charge
tem.
"We've amended, removed and
tweaked our constitution and
bylaws," Hughes said. "The
changes we have made will
enable candidates to have so
many more privileges than were
allowed in past years."

three computers and two

Stephen
Krill,
the station's
entertainment director, explained
the system:
"basically
now
when we tape a show or event
we can record it directly to
portable hard drives, rather
than

load it
onto
an AVID station for post-produc-

Martone to demonstrate creative

Like James Frey and Jayson
Blair, Michael Martone is mak-
ing
a career tip-toeing between
fiction and reality.
Unlike Blair, a former New
York Times reporter though,
Marist writing students can actu-
ally learn something from
Martone when he visits
.
Martone will spend the week of
Feb. 20 in a fiction workshop
class, demonstrating different
ways to create stories. Martone,
whose book jackets describe
b.im
as the
"master
of the nearly
true," has authored nearly a
dozen
books
and edited or con-
tributed to countJess more, the
most recent
being
Best American
Essays of 2005.
In
addition to
the workshop, Martone will have
a public reading 8 p.m. Feb. 22
in the Performing Arts Room.

Reaction to Jyllands-Posten caricatures cause
for
media reflection
By
JAMES MARCONI
News Editor
It
is
bard to imagine that
cartoons could spark such strong
emotions, but one particular
set
has.
A
few
months ago,
in
September
,
Danish
newspaper
Jyllands-Posten
printed
12
caricatures of the
Islamic
prophet Mohammed.
The
pictures
were
later
reprinted in
several other papers across
Europe, and have created an
international
controversy.
Muslim protesters have
rioted
in
Lebanon
and Syria, among
others, and
across
parts of
Europe.
.. The violence
(in
Beirut] came
one day after
protesters
in neigh-
boring Damascus,
Syria,
torched
the Norwegian Embassy and the
Danish Embassy, furious
that
newspapers
in both
nations
had
printed images
banned
under
Islamic law."
(www.cnn.com)
The
anger
,
in
part,
is
because
any pictorial representations of
Mohammed
are
considered
blasphemy
-
the
rule
was
initial-
ly
implemented to avoid
the
pos-
sibility of idolatry. AdditionaJly
1
the most
controversial of
the
car-
toons depicts Mohammed wear-
ing a turban shaped
like
a bomb
with
a
lit fuse.
While both
the
government of
Denmark and
Jyllands-Posten
have apologized for
having
offended so many, both
maintain
that the newspaper
bad
every
right
to
publish
what they did.
An apology was essentially
turned
into a free speech
issue.
The question being
debated
internationally is this: Does a
media outlet have the
right to
print, publish, or otherwise make
public any material
it
wishes,
even if that
material
is blatantly,
tastelessly,
and
needlessly
inflammatory?
I say that
the
answer is no.
Despite the violence against the
Danish Embassy
in
Damascus
,
Syria and consulate in Beirut,
Lebanon
,
the
pure
rage over this
issue
is quite understandable.
To
have one's
religion
and one's
core
beliefs
so
cavalierly
ridiculed is something that pro-
vokes extremely strong emotions
- namely disbelief and anger.
Granted,
responding
with vio-
lence
and
lawlessness
is ptoba-
bly
not the best. or at least
most
peaceful
,
solution.
On
the other
hand,
I
can sympathize with their
anger.
What those European
papers
did was
deplorable,
crass,
and
thoughtless.
Western
media
has
traditional-
ly
enjoyed
great
freedom
in
the
nature of their printed product.
It
might be a cliche,
though,
but
with great power comes great
responsibility.
And a
part
of that
responsibility means exercising
good taste and restraint. Really,
what did any of
those papers
think they were trying to
prove?
Did they print those caricatures
simply to show
that
they could?
That is the only plausible
expla•
nation that
I
can
conjure
up,
unless
Jyllands-Posten
actually
wanted to provoke widespread
riots.
Freedom of expression is not
truly
the
problem
here.
Obviously,
Jyllands-Posten
and
others were able to print what
they wished without censorship
( or, really
,
much forethought).
That power of
the media
is and
will remain relatively unshack-
led
by government. The heart of
the problem, though, is basic. It
entails evaluating some action;
considering its benefits and
bal-
ancing
them
against the potential
consequences.
Allowing those
caricatures
to
be
printed wasn't illegal, true,
but the decision to do so was
reckless
,
thoughtless, and
did not
take into consideration how
peo•
pie
might actually feel.
As a consequence, millions of
Muslims
across the globe were
greatly offended (to put it mild-
ly) and are
making their
displeas-
ure
known any way they can.
And
all
for
what?
Did
the
carica-
tures
accomplish
anything
except
to
offend and alienate one
of
the
world's
largest
religions?
I
mean
really, giving
Mohammed
a
bomb-shaped turban
is basical-
ly the
equiva
l
ent of portraying
Jesus
with
an
ammo-clip and
an
M-16 -
that
is
to
say,
not
at all
'enlightening' or 'thought pro-
voking,'
but needlessly
and bla-
tantly insulting.
And
to expect
any other reaction but
fury
on
the
part of Muslims is the height of
arrogance and
disconnection
from
how
the world
works
in
reality.
I
sincerely doubt (given the
g
l
obal
reaction) that
many
Muslims
are
overly concerned
with our oh-so-precious
right to
freedom of expression. While it
is a valued and cherished
right
here
in the United States and
Europe, I'm going
to
go out on a
limb and
say that most Muslims
are
more concerned with the fact
that their
religion
was
publicly
and persistently
mocked
by the
media than the right of said
media to publish what they did.
Again, while
I
do not
believe
that the kind of violence seen
(particularly
in
Syria
and
Lebanon) is at all justified, the
emotions motivating those acts
are certainly valid.
And we
should not expect that
reaction
to
change when we invoke the
mantra
of
the
almighty
media
-
'
we
have
the freedom of the
press.' In fact, the media should
probably take a
good
hard
look at
itself, and ask whether the reac-
tion to its
product
is an
indication
.

judgment

A message from Royal Carting, regarding waste management and disposal
Received
from
Royal
Carting
:
Students and Faculty,
Have you ever wondered what
happens to your trash
after
it
leaves the campus?
Royal Carting
is
committed
to
providing Marist College with
cost effective, environmentally
sound waste disposu
l.
As part of
that commitment, we
utilize
the
Dutchess
County
Resource
Recovery Agency facility on
Sand Dock Road for disposal of
the "municipal solid waste"
gen-
erated by the college
.
The coun-
ty's "waste-to-energy
"
plant u.ti
-
lizes these materials
as
combus-
tion fuel to generate steam and
electricity
.
This waste disposal
solution provides our county
with a source of electricity
.
In addition to generating elec-
tricity
from
waste, there are
other benefits of the waste-to-
power app
r
oach
.
For one, the
waste is reduced
90
percent by
volume and 70 percent by
weight.
The ash that remains is used as
daily cover at the Sullivan
County Landfill, thereby avoid-
ing the
need
to mine and utilize
non-renewable
virgin
soils for
this
purpose
.
Ferrous and nonM
ferrous metals arc recovered
from the ash and marketed to a
local scrap metal dealer
.
FinaUy,
USing
solid waste
as
fuel reduces
dependence on non-renewable
resources such as coal, oil and
gas.
With the above considerations
in
mind
,
we have performed a
waste flow review to illustrate
the recyc
l
ing and reuse benefits
that accrue from solid waste dis-
posal at the Dutchess County
waste-to-energy plant.
Our
analysis
anticipates
waste
streams generated at your cam-
pus consisting of two parts
:
loose
waste picked up in contamers
;
and compacted waste
.
For example
,
one profile of
waste stream disposed at the
Resource Recovery facility
con-
sisted of
75
tons of loose waste
from containers and
125
tons of
compacted waste for a total of
200
tons.
This translates into
"energy production credit," and
is computed as fo
ll
ows
:
I. 200
tons x 340 kwh/ton
""
68,400
kwh.
(The average home
in
Dutchess County uses about 600
kwb
per month).
2
.
The
electricity generated from the
200 tons
of waste supplies elec-
tricity for 113 homes for one
month
.
(68
,
400 kwh/600 kwh
per
home= 114 homes
).
Aside
from
energy production.
there
is
also the "ash benefi
c
ial
use credit,
"
which
can
be
attrib-
utable to this waste stream, and
is computed as follows
:
I.
200
tons
x
30% by weight
=
60
tons
.
2. 60 tons of ash as daily cover
is equivalent to four tractor trail-
er
loads of soil that would be
uti-
lized
as
landfill cover material.
Municipal solid waste
streams
typicall
y
contain about
5%
of
recoverable ferrous and
nonMferrous metals
.
Using our
example
,
the estimated "ferrous
and non-ferrous metal recovery
credit" wouJd be: 1. 200 tons x
5

•

People have always had mixed feelings about
Valentine's
Day.
Some love the holiday and cele-
brate to the fullest, while others hate the commer-

and
don't celebrate at

So, how does
Marist feel about this apparently
controversial
hol-

entine, and

other. There
are
ways to
show
some-
one they are special without buying them stuff."
Happy
Valentine's
The answer is really quite varied among students,
ranging from the
"I
love Valentine's Day.
Everyone wants
to
feel
special
every now and
again," to simply
"I
don't care for
it
much," and
everything
in between.
Junior Tom Willoughby shares the
view
of most
when he said, "it's pretty nice, but I don't like
peo-
ple who think should
be
a huge deal. I also think
that
if coup
l
es truly cared for one another they
shouldn't feel like they need to prove their love on
Va
l
entine's Day just because Hallmark says so."
Kim Mc.Eathron took a more sentimental
approach
saying ..
it should really just be about
writing

letter
in
a card.
spend-
ing time with
them
and giving
them
a hug."
Regardless of what people think: about
Valentine's Day,
most
people do not know
how
the
holiday originated. So, where did Valentine's Day
come from?
VaJentine's Day is thought to originate from a
priest who became a martyr around AD 270. He
had fallen in love with his jailor's daughter and
signed
his letters
''from
your Valentine." Also, the
Roman
festival
of Lupercalia, held in mid-
February, that celebrates the coming of
spring,
includes a lottery where men and women arc
paired-off.
In later years, Pope Gelasius I changed
Lupercalia lo SL Valentine's
Doy. The dny is
linked to
Cupid,
Roman God of Love, and with
birds,
along
with
their association
with
peace,

It
wasn't
until
the
1800s though, that fonnal
cards
and messages were printed commercially
here
in
the United States.
While VaJentine's
Day
can be
very
mushy and

of the ambiance of the

Siena sweep continues as Red Foxes win 68-55
By
ANDY
ALONGI
Co-Sports Editor
The Marist women's basketball
program completed a season
sweep of the archrival Saints this
season,
pouncing on Siena
68-55
last Friday night.
This was Siena's first home
loss in the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference
(MAAC)
this season.
After
giving up the first basket
of the game, the Red Foxes went
on a 17-1
run
that lasted until
half way through the
first
half.
The Foxes outscored Siena

Marist plays
.
ODD in Bracketbuster game on ESPN 2
By
JOE FERRARY
Staff Writer
The men's basketball team will
travel to Norfolk, Virginia on
Saturday, February
18,
to take on
Old
Dominion
University
(ODU) in the BracketBuster con-
test sponsored by eBay.
The
game will be
televised
on ESPN
2at4p.m.
Head coach Matt Brady was
very excited to hear that bis pro--
gram was not only picked for this
contest,
but
to
be
televised
nationally as well.
"This is truly a great accom-
plishment not only for this
pro-
gram,
but for the entire Marist
community as well,"
Brady
said.
"In
addition, since this game is
on television it will bring a lot of
national
attentioo to our
pro-
gram. However, Old Dominion
is a good team and is a very
tough place to play in."
Brady knows all too well about
playing at Old Dominion: While
he was an assistant coach for
Saint Joseph
'S,
the team traveled
to play in Norfolk.
'1t
is
a
very difficult place
to
play," said Brady. "They have a
big arena that is very
loud
and
I
am
positive
that they
will
sell out
that
game."
The Monarchs of Old
Dominion
are
16-
7
and
9-4
in
the
Colonial Athletic Association
(CAA) which
puts
them in a tie
for
fourth
place
with
Northeastern
and
Virginia
Commonwealth.
ODU is
led
by senior guard
Isaiah Hunter, who is averaging
14.8
points and
3.0
rebounds per
game. Senior forward/center and
2004-2005 CAA Player
of
the
Year, Alex Lougbton, contributes
with
13.2
points and 7.1
rebounds per game.
The Red Foxes
c
urrently
are
14-7 overall and 8-5
in
the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC). wltich puts them
in
third place. Marist is led by jun-
ior guard Jared Jordan, who is
averaging 15.7 points and 8.6
assists per game, which ranks
second nationally.
Junior
guard
Will Whittington chips
in
14.8
points per game and redshirt
sophomore Ryan Stilphen leads
the team in rebounding with
7
.2
rebounds per game.
The concept of the
BracketBuster contest is to allow
the programs
involved
to play a
top
non-conference
team three
weeks before Selection Sunday.
Over the past few years, teams
that
have
won
these
BracketBuster games have gone
on to
play
and upset higher-seed-
ed
teams
in
the
NCAA
Tournament.
The Red Foxes, who have won
10
out of its last 13, will travel
to
take on MAAC foe Niagara on
Saturday.
Foxes fall to St. John's in first non-tournament action of year
By
NATE FIELDS
Staff

In
their first non-tournament
action of the year, the Marist's
men's tennis team fell to St.
John's, 5-2, last Sunday in
Queens.
The Foxes claimed victory
in
just one of six singles matches
but had a strong showing on the
double
s
side; taking two of three
from
the Red Storm.

coach
Tim

"A
lot of our guys
won their first sets,
so
we bad
some very competitive matches."
In
doubles, Marist's top pair of
senior Leo Rodriguez and
junior
Pedro Genovese
handed
St.
Johns' Louis
Desmarteaux
and
Aliaksandr Svetlakov a loss, 8-6,
and junior Ray Josephs and

Smith said
be
views singles and
doubles
as two different animals.
"You
can
do
more coaching in
doubles,"
he
said. "Our doubles
teams are more knowledgeable
than some of their competition.
Doubles is more about court
po
sitioni
ng
and
technique
whereas singles is more about
pure talent."
Not to say Marist doesn't have
the talent to compete in
s
ingle
s,
because
in
their first action of the
season at the Anny Invitational,
the Red Foxes took 13 of
18
matches from players of several
schools. St. John's, however,
enrolls five times as many stu-
dents
as
Marist, and is therefore
better funded and supported. The
Red Stonn also belongs to the
Big East, one of the premier ath-
letic
conferences in the country.
Needless to say, Smith said he
sees improvement in his players.
"Our goal is to get better every
match, and
I
think we
are
doing
that," be said.
The
team bas three
upcoming
matches on the road, beginning
this Sunday against SUNY
Binghamton.

afternoon
in
the Mccann Center.
The Red Foxes got out to their
usual
quick
start by winning the
200 medley relay. The team of
senior Jackie Fountaine,
junior
Lauren
Malski,
sophomore
Jamie Fah:o
,
and
fre~hmnn
Sandra Bujalski finished with a
time of
I :48. 77
which was six~
tenths of a second behind
the
school
record.
In individual events, Falco won
the 200 freestyle in a time of
1:57.70
and
the
100 freestyle in
54.85. Fountaine took the
top
spot in the

part of the team
that
included
fel-
low
senior Karen Fleckenstein
and juniors Victoria Fresolone
and
Kim
Koehler, who won the
200
freestyle relay.
Head
roach Larry Van
Wagner
noted
that the
past
two
losses
are
nothing
to worry about going
into the
Metro
Atlantic Athletic
Conference
(MAAC)
Championships.
"Both
losses
were non-cpnfer-

he said. "We have
to
focus ~till
on
ourselves and
individual performances and
then we should
be
fine."
In
diving
,
senior Meghan Duffy
once again swept the competi-
tion
by winning the one meter
and three meter events.
She
posted a score of
273.90
in the
three
meter
and
281.60
in
the
one
meter in her last match
in
the
Mccann
Natatorium.
Sophomore Melissa Mangona
took second in both event, while
Seton Hall's Ashley Frantz took
third.
Coach
Van
Wagner stressed that
while a team cannot worry about
other teams they still have to be
aware of the
stronger
ones.
"We cannot worry about other
teams," he said.
'·H0weve

Rider is a team we are worried
individuall
y
about beca4se they
are very competitive, and we just
squeaked

Senior Ashley
Johnston
was the
star
for Seton Hall. She led the
Pirates to
victories
in three
events. She won the 200 meter
butterfly with a time of
2:08.98,
the
100
butterfly
in 59.38 and the
400
individual
medley
in
4:35.71.
The five seniors who were
honored before the match on
Senior
Day
were
Duffy,
Fountaine, Fleckenstein, and
captains Trish Maxim and Jamie
Cannata.
Coach
Van
Wagner bad just a
couple of words about a few sen-
iors who are leaving the pro-
gram.
"Meghan Duffy is definitely
the most decorated in the pro-
gram," he
said.
"Jackie
Fountaine
strengthened
our
freestyle program."
With the loss, Mari.st fell to 9 -

overall to finish the season.

sea-
son
in
the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
for Marist's men's swimming
and diving team. Coach Larry
Van Wagner said the
last
dual
meet of the
regular
season
capped the careers of
four
suc-
cessful swimmers.
Senior Day recognized the con-
tributions
made by
Kevin
Connors, Alec
Troxell
,
Joe
Pilewski,
and Kevin
Bobenchik.
"It's
a culmination.
an
ending
point," VanWagner said. "Jn
most cases, this culminates
the
final
four
years of their careers,
because there is no professional
league for
our
sport. So J've
taken it upon myself to make
sure
they realize their full
poten-
tial
in
this short time."
Connors and Trax.ell captained
the team
all
season and realized
their
potential.
After defeating
the
Seton
Hall
Pirates, 161·127
,
Connors said,
"As
a freshman and sophomore,
you never think you're going to
be there. Knowing that it's mine
and Alec's team makes
it
that
much more important."
Connors swam with
the
200
medley
and the
200
freestyle
relay
teams,
which
both
garnered
second
place
finishes. He also
took
third
in the
200
backstroke
with a time of
I
:58.60 behind his
teammates, juniors Dan Garaffa
and
Brandon Youse.
Pilewski did
not
just swim his
last race at Marist, but he also
sang
his
final national anthem
before
a
competition at Marist.
The next to
last
meet of bis fresh-
man year, a teammate asked
Pilewsk.i to sing the anthem
before they started
swimming,
and he has kicked off meets the
same way ever since.
On
Senior
Day, Pilewski
's emotions
were a
little
different than usual.
"It
was a little bittersweet this
timet
he
sai<I.
Another bittersweet moment
for Pilewski came
in
the 200 but-
terfly. He finished in
1:52.91
,
ahead of junior Nick Chevalier,
who clocked in at
I
:56.39.
"I
got touched out and
I
was
ticked off." Pilewski said of his
momentary fit of anger after the
race.
"I
missed the school record
by three-tenths and was upset.
But
I
don't want to be known
as
they
guy
who flips out,
so
I
cooled down.
I
went and
talked
to my tc:ammates ancl realized it
was still a
good
race even though
it didn't feel like it."
Pilewski has one more chance
for the school record.
"I'm
going to break it, that is,
as
long
as
Kevin [Connors] does-
n't break it first," he said light-
heartedly.
The men finished the
sea-
son
9-1
and
will
bead into the
MAAC Championships on Feb.

Foxes upset first place Gaels in big win
By
GABE PERNA
Staff
Writer
Marist bead coach Matt Btady
knows winning in a hostile envi-
ronment on the road
is
tough
against any Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
opponent.
But
winning on the
road
is
especially tough when
you
are
playing the first place
Iona Gaels.
Yet on the strength of superb
performances
from
juniors
James
Smith and Jared Jordan,
the Marist Red Foxes made a
statement and
upset
the Gaels at
the
Hynes
Athletic Center, 87-
81,
this past Sunday
On the heels of a
last
second
heartbreaking loss to Saint
Peter's, where an eight game win
streak was snapped, the Red
Foxes were looking
to
rebound
in a big way.
'We lost to Saint Peter's where
we could have won the game,"
Coach Brady said.
"In
a way, that
Saint Peter's game could be an
awakening for
us.
Because now
we know it doesn't matter what
we've done in the past games.
J
am
thankful for the win.
I
think
we can move forward, and
if
we
keep playing to this
level
,
then
we have a
good
team."
After
dominating
the majority
of the first
half,
the Foxes saw a
15 point lead dwindle to a
sing
le
point, 78-77, with just less than
two minutes to play. However,
in what turned out to be
a
game
changing play, red-shirt sopho-
more Ryan Stilphen drained a
clutch
three-point field
goal and
gave the F6Xes a four point
lead
,
81-77,
as
the shot clock expired.
The shot took the wind out of
the Gaels' proverbial sails and
gave Marist enough energy to
finish
out the game. Junior Will
Whittington and Jordan drained
key free-throws to ice the victory
and send Iona players and head
coach Jeff Ruland home dis-
pleased.
"We
don't play good basketball
if we
give
pp 65 PiC,rcent sh,)oting
from
the
floor
in
the ftn;t half,
that's
why we put ourselves
in
a
hQ.le," Ruland said. "Kudos
to
Marist; they played a great game
and beat us on the boards."
The Foxes came out firing on
all cylinders while
bitting
65 per-
cent
from
the field in the first
half. At one point, the
Red
Foxes
flexed a 15-point lead
with
their
play, keeping the entire crowd
quiet as a mouse. Smith especial-
ly came
prepared
to play as he hit
four three-pointers and scored
24
of his 27 overa11 in the first half.
Coach Brady said be was cer-
tainly impressed with Smith. He
was, however, not surprised with
Smith's ,PCrfonnance since he
considers him one of the more
talented players in the
league
.
"
I
am not surprised that James
performed that well, because
be
has a lot of natural ability," he
said.
"In
the first half, James
played
as
well as he can probably
play
on
offense.
As
he gets a lit-
tle older and
is
in the program a
little longer, he's going to
learn
that be can do that on
both
ends."
While Smith was lighting
up
the
basket
,
Jordan
was putting
forth another excellent
perform-
ance of his own, as he was a
rebound away from a triple-dou-
ble. While
be
put
up
16 points,
more impressively be
led
the
team in assists with 15 and
rebounds
with nine.
"Tha
t's
the way
J
have been
playing all along;
I like
to
get
people the ball,"
Jordan
said.
"Growing up, that's the best way
to play.
I
was always the younger
guy, and to get
people
the ball,
well they want to play with you.
I
mean
I
love seeing 15 assists;
the
16
points
I
really don't
care
about."
A big factor in the Red Foxes
win against the Gaels was their
improving upon giving up sec-
ond chance
points
from the Saint
Peter's
game.
Against
the
Peacocks, the Red Foxes gave up
22
offensive rebounds and 24
second chance points. They only
gave up nine offensive rebounds
and six second chance ooints
last
Sunday.
"Giving
up
second
chance
points and offensive rebounds
has been something of an
Achilles heel for our team,"
Brady said. "We
drill
it,
but
to
me, it's a mentality. We
are
not
the fastest, most athletic
team
and we've got to guard a certain
area of the court and against
Saint Peter's we did not
do
that.
We've worked on that and will
continue to work on it."
Despite losing in the
final
sec-
onds to Saint Peter's, Brady said
that
be does not reflect back on
the past close losses his team has
suffered.
"I
tell
you what, I'd like to go
back and play the Seton Hall
game, the Ohio University
game,"
he
said.
"That's
college
athletics. You're going
to lose
some games that maybe you
sh'ould win. Should we have
some more wins? No doubt
about it. But every team
in
the
league can say that, so we're not
worried about what we can't
change."
The win gives the Red Foxes
nine victories in the
last
ten con-
tests
and keeps them tied for
third
place (8-5)
in
the MAAC
with St. Peter's. Marist has an
overall record 14-7.
Marist will begin a three-game
road trip, starting with Niagara
University this Saturday, Feb. 11

p.m.
