There is

St. Jude's Hospital was found-
ed
in Memphis, Tennessee by the
late Danny Thomas, star of the
popular 50s television show
"Make Room
for Daddy."
Thomas aimed to create a racial-
ly-neutral children's hospital
in
the South after hearing about
an
African-American child who
died after being refused admis-
sion to
a
hospital.
Today, St. Jude's is lauded for
providing treatment to uninsured
families, as well sharing its work
in finding a cure for cancer and
other diseases.

It

the rest.
2/15 5:25 PM B-Biock
A fire alarm was set off, again, by a student here at
the college. Although the cause of the flames has yet
to be identified
,
the perpetrator was not so easily con-
cealed.
Even though his identity will not be disclosed here,
our fearless security leader
John
Gildard was heard
saying this of the young Iron Chef: "This one should
stick to basketball and stay out of the kitchen."

Israeli, U.S. sanctions remain sensible precautions
By JAMES MARCONI
News Editor
Violence, rage, and fear
-
they
all seem
to
be so
prevalent
in the
world in which we live. News
headline!i,
are filled with graphic
examples worldwide, illustrating
the
human race's stunning pro-
clivity for needlessly and
ruth-
lessly
hurting one another. The
recent outbreak of bloodshed
over the canoons
published
in
the
Dani.sh
newspaper Jyllands-
Posten is
one such example.
In an earlier colwnn, I made a
point about the right of Muslims
to feel anger at having their reli-
gion
insulted.
I also (not nearly
as strongly as I should have)
denounced
the actions taken on
those
feelings. Virulently lash-
ing out, in some cases against
countries
that played no
part
in
publishing
the cartoons, is not at
· all justified, and rightly
deserves
the
international condemnation it
has received.
That violence, though
lasting
through
the past few weeks and
showing no signs of slowing
down, is relatively spontaneous
and disorganized. The chaos and
destruction caused is
horrific,
but
is not nearly as insidious as
organized terrorism. Terrorism
on that level, which inspires such
fear and
loathing,
remains firmly
in
the
domain of groups like Al
Qaeda, or Hamas.
Hamas,
incidentally,
has
become the
democratically
elect-
ed majority of the Palestinian
Legislative Council, and
is
cur-
rently in the
process
of forming
a
new
government
for
the
Palestinian
people.
Barnas
is a
political party and
Palestinian
domestic aid organization,
this
is
true.
It
is also a terrorist group,
one responsible for
hundreds
of
planned, deliberate, and deadly
attacks on Israel. Is it any won-
der, then, that the leaders of
countries including Israel,

Bush's guns drawn again; our environment in their crosshairs
By
DAN BLACK
Staff Writer
It is a beautiful day in
Poughkeepsie,
or so said my
boss
last
.
Thursday.
He was
referring, of course, to the beach
weather we were enjoying in
mid-February.
The following
morning
when I went into work
it was snowing furiously and the
wind was fierce. By the time l
had
clocked in and settled into
my
routine,
I went across the
street for a coffee and realized
the sun
was
so blinding I
needed
my sunglasses. Anybody who
doesn't believe we are trashing
this
planet,
l
thought to myself,
is
delusional.
Global Warming, the gradual
rise in mean temperature of the
earth's atmosphere attributed to
the increase
in "green-house"
emissions has, according to sci-
entists,
reached a point where its
effects may be irreversible.
There
are efforts, ardent ones, all
over the World to come
up
with
strategies to restructure the ways
in which
environmentally-influ-
ential countries impact tile earth;
global
warming is foremost on
their blotters.
..To keep climate
change
within tolerable
limits",
says European Union environ-
ment commissioner Stavros
Dimas,
"we need the full partici-
pation of all major emitting
countries
- such as the United
States." He speaks in advocating
participation in the Kyoto
Accord, a dialogue comprised of
many industrialized countries
attempting to devise increment-
ed cultural shifts out of our envi-
ronmentally-destructive
lifestyles over a
long
period of
time.
Unfortunately for Dimas, those
involved with the Kyoto Accord,
and every other
living
thing on
this planet, the U.S.
bas
declined
its invitation.
President
Bush
doesn't feel compelled to partic-
ipate; after all, does
the
world's
greatest consumer of natural
resources and most dominant
generator of pollutants have any
obligation to take part in efforts
to
reverse the devastating effects
of its environment trashing?
Bush's
sentiments
exactly.
Ignore the problem, let someone
else fret over it, soon enough it
will go away.
This problem is not likely to

The most depressing plot
development I have seen in this
drama is io the State of the

tions that control him have done
more to deepen America's
petrol-addiction than any other
Presidential entourage in genera-
tions. He says these things as he
slashes budgets for alternative
energy research, reduces taxa-
tion on emissions-producing
industries, and attempts to
silence top scientists in the field
of environmental research like
James Hansed. .Thro.ugh these
actions, Bush is systematically
undoing decades of environmen-
tally sound legislation and
flaunts
it.
With oil's corporate
leviathans' profit interest off to
one side, and the public's health
and common good to the other,
this administration stands on the
fulcrum of our culture's energy
usage-trends and navigates it
through their politics. They have
repeatedly prioritized the wealth
of the few over the livelihood of
the
masses,
and they will contin-
ue to
do
so until, quite simply
put, we are all dead and they've
got the cash. Don't believe they
will do it? Guess what, they've
already started; this will be
undeniable
when, some year,
during our February beach
weather, the shores will reach the

Sanctions remain as rational precautions to deter violence by Hamas
wrote that
"The
spokesman for
Hamas
claimed, 'We want a
peaceful unity government.'
If
this is a truthful statement
,
it
needs to
be
given
a chance." He
further wrote that " ... the
likely
results (of
Israel's
denial of
monies] will be to alienate
the
already oppressed and
innocent
Palestinians, to incite violence
,
and to increase
the
domestic
influence
and
international
esteem of
Ham.as.
It
will certain-
ly
not be an inducement to
Hamas
or
other militants to
mod-
erate their policies." Finally, he
wrote that "The election of
Hamas
candidates
cannot
adversely affect genuine peace
talks,
since such talks have
been
nonexistent for over five years"
(www.washiogtonpost.com).
It
seems to me
that all
of these
statements are made on two piv-
otal
assumptions. The
first
of
these is that Hamas is
being
truthful about wanting peace and
willing to openly and actively
moderate itself. As for the sincer-
ity
of
Hamas,
their words and
actions say it all.
Its leaders
have
issued statements saying that
they will not make an attempt to
negotiate with Israel,
but
at
the
same time will
not
seek any
fur-
ther conflict. Essentially
,
those
two declarations cancel each
other out.
Thus,
in
lieu
of
redefining
itself,
Hamas basical-
ly said that
it
will
maintain the
status
quo
of their policies
(i.e.
gunning for
the destruction

Israel).
Second, by saying that
Israel's
actions will
'incite
violence' a:nd
that the dominance of
Hamas
in
the
PLC
'cannot adversely affect
genuine peace talks,' Carter
assumes
that
violence on
the part
of the Palestinians is currently a
non-issue,
that
all Palestinians
are completely peaceful inno-
cents. Sad to say, but this just
isn't
the
case - the violence
alrepdy exists. We bear all the
time in
the
news about suicide
bombings,
about new attacks on
Israelis.
Carter is putting the
chicken before the egg - the
Israelis
did not impose sanctions
that
in
tum
will CAUSE vio-
lence,
they
imposed
sanctions
because of a refusal to denounce
a past HISTORY of violence
.
In light of this, to give
Hamas
unconditional
opportunities to
reform
after it has restructured
the government
to
its liking is
sheer
lunacy.
What
should the
world wait for, more attacks,
more killings?
History is rife
with examples of the dangers of
issuing empty threats, paper
tigers. This precedent that Israel
and the U.S. have recently set is
the only sensible action
,
one that
will hopefully force
Hamas
to
moderate
.
But,
as always
,
pre-
ventative measures can never
predict future dec
i
sions.
The
ball is, and will
be until
it makes
its
intentions
clear, in Hamas's
court.

"O.A.R." to
follow up massive SPC event calendar
By
ALEX PANAGKJTOPOULOS
campus Editor
After
selling
out Madison
Square Garden last month, OAR
is coming to the McCann Center.
The Student Programming
Council announced Tuesday
night at their General Board
meeting that Of a Revolution,
also known as "OAR," will per-
form at Marist March 31.
The news comes nipping at the
heels of a
wildly s
u
ccessful
Lewis Black concert Sw1day
night, capping a whirlwind year
and a half for the SPC. Highly
acclaimed artists in their genres
such as Dane
Cook,
Dashboard
Confessio
nal
,
Reel Big Fish,
Black, and OAR have perfonned
in
succession since
last February,
appealing to a broad swath of
Mariststudents.
The streak was preceded by
oft-criticized pop acts such as
Michelle Branch, Train, New
Found
Glory
and
Good
Charlotte, and, most
infamously,
prop comic Carrot Top in the
spring
of 2002. Their perfom1-
ances did manage to
attract a
number
of spectators
but did not
create the hypersonic buzz
throughout campus that Cook's
did.
Given the SPC's open meetings
and oft.messaged screen name
(MaristSPC), Brooke Heithoff,
the club's board president, said
that perfonnances are not put on
by accident.
"We get requests from hun-
dreds and hundreds of students
through our screen name," she
said.
"But if [the act is]
in
California,
we can't get them.
Sometimes they won't play col-
leges, and there are only a couple
of weekends where we
can
have
shows. Those are the most com-
mon weekends that other col-
leges have
shows."
OAR's spring tour, which sand-
wiches Marist College between
shows at Utica
College
and
Indiana
University
of
Pennsylvania, is in conjunction
with Sony Playstation and Major
League Baseball.
,
The corporate sponsors will
be
demoing the upcoming baseball
game MLB '06: The Show on
game consoles and Playstation
Portable, and
according
to an
OAR fan site, a few
fans
will be
able to play against the band
members themselves.
The opening band, Scratch
Track (billed as being
an
amal•
gam of acoustic, hip hop, and
soul),
is being featured on MLB
'06's soundtrack.
Heithoff
stressed
that success-
ful concerts require a mighty
stew of student input, bard work
and scheduling, rather than a lot
of money. A group of 30 volun-
teers worked from
9
a.m. until
after midnight on Sunday for the
Lewis Black show.
"It's
always the same percent-
age of student activity money,"
she said. "We
all
get certain per-
centages, between {SPC], clubs,
and intra.murals."
All full-time students pay an
activity fee of$110 a
semeste
r.
"None of [the
volunteers]
are
paid,
they
just do it for fun,"
Heithoff continued.
"I am
amazed and awestruck. Without
them, we couldn't put on any-
thing."
Heithoff said that the SPC is
going to strive for variety going
forward.
"We always
try
to hit some-
one's genre of music before they
graduate."

Two music legends play unannounced concert in Manhattan
Cult
u
ra
l
ico
n
s of "Fish" and "Grateful Dead" come together on stage for one night only during biggest snow storm of the year
By
TOM CLANCEY
Staff Writer
No one knew what they were
in
for.
Whoever made it to New York
Cities Beacon Theatre on the day
of the record-setting 26.9 inches
of snowfall was in for a specia
l
treat as
an
unannounced guest
pr
epared to join "Phil Lesh and
Frie
n
ds" to p
l
ay their third show
out of five on the same stage.
C
u
ltural icons Trey Anastas
i
o
of "Phish" and Phil Lesh of the
"Grate
ful
Dead" combined with
4
other musicians for one night
on stage.
Scott Filiczkowski, a junior at
Marist, was surprised
to
hear that
Trey not ~y was the special
Sports
guest of
'
the evening but played
the entire duration of the show.
"Had this been announced in
advance tickets would have sold
out in minutes as opposed to
days," Fiticzk:Qwski said.
The main lobby buzzed with
excitemen
t
right before the show.
People in
drink
lines or conver-
sation circles dressed in tie-die
garb interacted.
Dread-locked
youth mingled with older dead
beads. A
man
in a wheelchair
rolls bye,
in
full
Grateful Dead
Gear, and a sign on the wall
reminds us of how small the
crowd is.
"Occupancy of these p
r
emises
by more than 3,017 people is
unlawful."
The snow storm had surely pre-
vented the entire crowd from
arriving as it caused majo
r
transit
problems for the city.
Soon
everybody realized how special
the night was when a stranger
reported a rumor that swept
through the crowd like a wild
fire.
Africa" with his infamous co-star
Dave Mathews.
Soon the lights went down and
the applause of the crowd rivaled
the volume of the instrume
n
ts.
Almost instantaneously the smell
of marijuana penetrated the
entire building, embodied in
Trey Anastasio has become an Icon to legions of fans,
most recently touring Africa In a
VHl
series "Trey and

"Trey's here! He's setting up on
stage."
Trey Anastasio has become
an
icon to legions of fans, most
recently touring Africa in a

series "Trey and Dave go to
swirling smoke flowing through
a sequenced light show.
The band preformed
2
sets of
music and
an
encore of 2 songs,
all thoroughly driven by
i
mprov-
isation, plltti
n
g force to a great
night of "Gra
t
eful Dead" music.
Trey fit right in as he bad been
present in the initial
"
Phil and
Friends" pe
r
formances at San
Francisco's Warfield Theatre in
the summer of 1999
.
"The cross-pollination between
Pbish's front man Trey Anastasio
and the Gratefu
l
Dead's bassist
Ph
i
l Lesh is a
rare
and unique
opportunity to see two legends
recreate the magic of each bands
songs," Filiczkowski said.
"In
additio
n
Anastasio and Lesh's
collaboration bridges the genera-
tion gap between the two audi-
ences that left everyone in atten-
dance or who liste
n
ed to the
recording with a magical feeling
that surely will Not FadeAway.

Joe Girarde
,
a 53 year old self
described "dead-head," reCog-
nized the significance of the con-
cert
coinciding with the snow
s
t
orm.
"It's cool, whenever some event
is
happening, like the b
l
izzard.
Everybody who makes
it
to
the
show has something in com-
mon."
At the early hour of
I
o'clock
the show concluded. The emer-
gency doors were opened and the
smoke poured out faster than the
crowd into the New York City
night and streets filled with over
2 feet of snow.
Everybody now had two thi
n
gs
in
common; witnessing both the
meeting of two musica
l
jugger-
nauts and the largest snow storm
in New York City history.

Raucci placed third in the
5,000-mete
r
run in 14:42.92
,
which earned
him
his second
IC4A berth in two weeks. Last
week in Boston
.
Raucci qualified
for the IC4As in the 3,000-meter
run.
Head coach Pete Colaizzo said
Raucc
i
's goal going in was to
qualify for the IC4As, and be
was able to do just that.
"David
ran a
perfect race," he
said. "He un
l
eashed a great kick
at the end, improving bis time by
about
I
5
seconds."
Mike Bamberger placed fifth in
the 800 and earned a spot at the
IC4Aswitha 1:54.61.
"This is Mike
'
s second year in
a
row that he's qualified for an
IC-4A spot," Colaizzo said.
"This is now our fourth individ-
ual going to the IC4A's, and it's
the most we've ever had."
Senior Captain Justin Harris
placed second
in the 3,000-meter
run
in a personal-best time of
8:35.81.
"Justin really picked us up,"
Colaizzo said. ''Our top fresh-
man
,
Ginna Segni
,
came
to the
meet but could not
run
because
he was under the weather. So
Justin did a tremendous job fill-
ing in for him."
Co
l
aizzo said Harris had told
him
that he too was fighting ill-
ness going into the race, but still
managed to
run
a personal-best.
"Justin told me he was fig
h
t
in
g
an
illness as well, and that be
wasn't
I 00
percent, but be sure
looked fine to me," Co
l
aizzo
said. "He rea
ll
y gave us a spe-
cial effort."
Freshman Brii;m Karl placed
fifth in the long jump with a per-
sonal-best leap of 6.76 meters
,
which is just one centimeter off
the school record.
Senior captain Rob DeAngelo
was fifth in the 55-meter
h
urdles
in 8.08 seconds in bis first hurdle
race of the season afte
r
recover-
ing from an ankle injury.
Freshman Kris Geist was sixth
in the mile
run
in
a
persona
l
-best
time of 4:27 .58
.
Geist has
run
persona
l
-best times
in
each race
be bas run this winter.
Only one week after q
u
alifying
for the IC4As in the
1
,000-meter
run,
junior Bryan Quinn was
sixth in the 800-meter run in
1:55.45.
In the distance-med
l
ey re
l
ay,
Raucci came back and anchored
with a 4:
17
1,600
-
meter leg
as
the team placed fourth in
10:20.34, missing an IC4A
record by less than one second.
"Raucci did all he cou
l
d. It cer
-
tainly wasn't bis fault that relay
team didn't qualify.
He rea
ll
y
showed a lot of determination""
The Red Foxes return to action

Also a pivotal point down the

"A [Loyola player] drives

Giorgis said.
Even with two of its key play-
ers sidelined, a defense that
could not come through in
the

in position to sond the game to
overtime on a Meg Dahlman

"We still had a wide-open

The
Mari
st men's swimming
and diving team won the MAAC
Championship ... again.
Saturday's victory made it
back
-
to-back titles for the men,
who used their depth to swim
and dive to victory
past
Rider
and the rest of the competition.
As always, Rider provided the
biggest team cha
ll
enge to the
Red Foxes
,
but that challenge
was not enough. The Foxes'
depth led them to v~tory as it
has
in previous seasons. This is
ironic due to the fact that coach
Larry
Van Wagner said it was
almost a hindrance to them in
.
their dual meet with Rider in
:
November.
"Depth is rewarded in champi-
onships
,
" be said. "In a dual
:meet, it isn't about the depth
:
nearly as much. We won this
meet on depth just as we often
;have in years past."
If depth was the number one
.reason Marist won this meet, the
·
seniors were the number two rea-
son
.
Kevin Bobenchik and co-cap-
tain Kevin Connors swam life-
time bests in three of the four
races in which they competed.
Joe PiJewski swam his lifetime
best in two of the three races he
. was in, and co-captain Alec
Troxell swam lifetime bests in all
:three of the races in which he
:
participated.
This would appear to be the
:
icing on the cake of four great
careers
,
and Van Wagne
r
quickly
credited this class as an enor-
mous part of the championship.
"
The senior c
l
ass
had
an out-
standing season,
"
he said.
"Winning this championship
meet by 170
points
after losing
the dual meet by 14 is extremely
gratifying to our program and
illustrates the improvement of
these men since November. And
this evolution is directly associ-
ated to the seniors."
Those four swimmers may be
closing out their careers with
back-to~back championships, but
there is a core on this squad who
is starting its careers with two
consecutive championships.
Sophomores Devon O'Nalty,
Jesus Santos, and
John
Luboja
added their points to the team on
the other end of the pool
in
the
diving portion.
In the one-meter, O'Nalty took
third, Santos placed fourth, and
Luboja finished in seventh, all
sending points toward the team
total. That was .the case in the
three-meter as O'Na
l
ty finished
third, Santos iook fifth, and
Luboja placed sixth.
Assistant Coach Melanie
Bolstad put the divers' fin
i
shes
into perspect
i
ve.
"We were the only school with
three in the top eight," she said.
"0ur three divers provided
points as if they were another
swimmer. We have a little motto
of dive within yourself, compete
the way you've been compe
t
ing
all year. They did that well aJl
season."
O'Nalty scored points with
hard work all weekend, as did
the rest of the ttio, but O'Nalty
scored the most points. He said it
was all due to his mental prepa-
ration
.
"After everything all season
long, I just tried my hardest," he
said. "I put all my effort into it
and kept an even mindset
.
I tried
not to concentrate on any one
part of my dive more than anoth-
er."
Now the team as a whole is fin-
ished for the year. However,

19
men on the team quali-

c Co
n
ference (ECAC)
championship, which is this
weekend.
These champ
i
onships include
the best teams on the east coast;
teams from the Big East,
America East, and more are par-
ticipants.
O'Na
l
ty said he is not very
nervous about the meet
"There may be a higher level of
competition here, but it's not the
same kind of pressure as in the
MAAC's," he said. "We get to
meet swimmers and divers from
other schoo
l
s and see what com-
pe
t
itio
n
is like outside the
MA.AC.
This is my last chance to
do well."
Marist has finished
in
the upper
tier of this meet for the last few
years and
l
ooks to be very com-
petit
i
ve agai
n
this year.
It
is very
hard to handicap though beca
u
se
of a few different factors
Van Wagner mentioned.
"You never know who is going
to show
u
p at the ECAC's," he
said. "Also, this week starts with
a
l
ot of recovery. Most of the
men swam about ten times in
three days
.
There is a lot of psy-
chological recovery that is war~
ranted after a championsh
i
p
meet, too. This program has
come so far since we started
competing at ECAC's a
r
ound
1991, '92.
I'm extremely
p
roud of
our program competing in the
top five like we do."
