Dear Faithful Horde of Security Brief
Readers,
I hope all is well with all of you. We
have not spoken in some time and it has
been quite
saddening.
1 thought of each
and every one of you as I sat on that
beautiful beach in Daytona and lapped
up the
sunshine.
It
was very emotional
thinking about you and I'm glad we're
back together again. I hope you enjoy
this week. John "The Yoda to
My
Luke
Skywalker" Gildard was in especially
good fonn this week and our guest
writer is top notch. Hope you. enjoy.
Love always,

GUEST BRIEF
OF THE WEEK
By
Matt
"The Power of Love"
Angrisani
When a
student
returned to Midrise
from break, they left
various
items by
the elevator on the first floor. Upon
return, they were missing a
12
pack of
Snapple, a b_ox of fruit
cocktai
l
,
and
some pasta.
In addition, the rumor is there were
also some asparagus,
spark
ling
cider,
and ajar of
strawberry
jam. Obviously,
their night was ruined as they would
remain hungry through their marathon
of Quantum Leap, Who's the Boss, and
Solaris.
3/20 -
1:45 P.M.
Security was
summoned
to the hous-
ing office and upon arrival were handed
a bong.
I
have absolutely no comment
for this. But with a straight face
I will
say that
I am sure it was used ONLY for
'You boll water and put the rice In
and let It set.
My unborn fetal son,
who hasn't even been conceived
yet,
could

that task.'
smoking
tobacco.
3/20 -
9:25
P.M.
Champagnat
A student
reported that somewhere
between
$600 and $650 was taken from
a lock box under his bed. Upon further
investigation of the scene,
security
found that
the
young
lad's
middle
name
is ATM
and
that bis parents don't love
him.
3/22-3A.M.
Champagnat
This one saddens me. Giving your ID
to other people doesn't work in the mid-
dle of the night. STOP TRYING
IT!
Another crazy kid was nabbed trying it
this week. He was sent home without
the warmth of human comfort and I've
heard that be cried the whole way:
Chump.
3/22 -
5:55 A.M.
Marian
A fire extinguisher was found sprayed
all over the
second
floor bathroom.
Now I've heard that girls have always
been taught to
sit
down when they go to
the bathroom, but this one is a bit
much. Get some aim ladies.
3/22-3
P.M.
Beck Place Lot
Security observed a suspicious look-
ing vehicle just rocking out in the Beck
Place Lot. Upon approaching the vehi-
cle, the officer found that the vagrants
inside were in fact NOT Marist stu-
dents.
I am appalled by this. Hanging out in
a car in the middle of the day. Get a job
fellas.
I
hear Giggles is
hiring.
3/23 -
11
:45 P.M.
Cbampagnat
This one
is
priceless. A non-Marist
student tried to get into a dorm. But
this guy thought he was smart and did-
n't
borrow a Marist
JD. He decided to
try his own.
Strangely enough, the
same swipe system is not universal to
all colleges and he was denied entry.
He then got a little a heated and a little
rough with security. The Po-Po were
called and then he cried like a little
school girl as he was led away.

Our first alcohol occurrence of the
week. A young lad came stumbling in
needing a lesson in alcohol consump-
tion. Upon being questioned what he
bad drank, he told the officer on duty he
had been drinking a lot of booze mixed
with Red Bull.
I guess the alcohol cancels out the
wings as Fairview was needed to take

Spread of pubic lice a growmg concern
THE CIRCLE
By
MEG
DUHRER
Circle Contributor
Twenty-four
students
who
used dryers in Midrise's second
floor laundry room in the week
before
spring
break have been
diagnosed with pubic lice,
said
St. Francis Hospital
yesterday
in
a statement.
Hospital officials are now
bracing for the
subsequent
waves of lice carriers.
Word of the outbreak has been
kept mum until now due to the
embarrassing stigma
of pubic
lice, which are usually
spread
through sexual contact and dis-
covered
several
weeks later.
Students who used Midrise's
laundry room during the month
of March are being urged to
remain
wary of any red sores or
itching, the
symptoms
of "crab
lice" or "crabs."
The condition can be treated
and cured by
applying
a cream
"permethrin" rinse
to
the infect-
ed area for ten minutes and
using
a
small
comb to rake out
the
eggs
that are laid daily.
Dr. Richard
Sirloin,
a venere-
al disease
expert
at St. Francis
Hospital, said Marist
students
were fortunate that pubic lice is
their biggest problem.
"Pubic
lice are considered the
kid sister of
scabies
or more
serious
parasitic infections,"
Sirloin said. "Sure,
it's humili-
ating to
your
friends and ugly,
but you can get rid of
it
pretty
quickly."
It is recommended that a sec-
ond treatment take place after
seven
to
ten days, as any suriv-
ing eggs would hatch then.
One junior, who bas requested
to
remain anonymous, said that
she was shocked to learn she
bad
crabs last
week.
"My
boyfriend texted me dur-
ing night class and asked if
I
had [been itchy]," she said.
"I
said no, and he just wrote,
'Not
yet,'
and
stopped
answering."
The lice can
survive
away
from a
human
host
for
up to
24
hours, and can
be
transmitted on
surfaces
such as toilet
seats,
bedding, and
clothing.
"I
had just taken
a
nap in my
roommate's bed," the junior
added.
Paul Baldwin, a sophomore
biology major, said that messy
living
conditions and sexual
indiscretion makes many stu-
dents vulnerable to crabs.
"Everyone should start think-
ing about examining themselves
and
combing
for eggs, because
this thing is not going to go
away soon," Baldwin said.
Sirloin said that Marist stu-
dents should beware the compa-
ny they keep to avoid infection.
"Seeing someone scratching
themselves in public should cer-
tainly make one think about the
po
ssibility
of pubic lice before
going home with them," Sirloin
said.
The
parasites
,
classified
as
Phthirus Pubis, use tiny front
claws to grasp hairs while they
bite their host's skin. Female
lice produce eggs which get
cemented in hair follicles close
to the skin.
"Ditch
the Itch," an informa-
tion session for any concerned
students,
will be held
9
p.m,
March
30
in the
Nelly
Galetti
Theater. Free pizza will
be
pro-
vided.

College plans for Dyson Center renovation
·
Multi-million dollar grant enables major improvement, expansion of building
By
JENNIFER BUAK
Circle Contributor
The Dyson
Center
is
expected
to receive a
facelift
within
the
next
few years thanks to a
$3
million
grant
from the Dyson
Foundation.
Tim Massie,
Chief Public
Affairs
Officer
for
the
college
said, "This addition
will
help
to
give
Marist
a greater
identity
amongst
the
top business schools
in the country."
The grant was
first received
by
Marist at a
board
meeting
on
February 7, 2004, from Rob
Dyson, chainnan of Marist's
Board
of
Trustees
and director
and
president
of the Dyson foun-
dation. The money was given to
make
an addition to the
Margaret
M.
and Charles H. Dyson Center,
which was first
built
in 1990.
In
the spring 2004 edition of
the Marist Magazine, President
Dennis Murray said, "Our
thanks
go to Rob and the
trustees of the
Dyson
Foundation for this very
generous gift, which will further
enhance the· academic space
enjoyed by
our
students and fac-
uity."
The
hope is
to
expand the
building
and
create
more room
and space for the School of
Management,
the
School of
Social and Behavioral Sciences,
and
the
School of Graduate and
Continuing Education. The spe-
cific
type
of addition needs
to
be
detennined.
The first
proposal
involved
adding onto
the
north end of the
Dyson
Center, extending
into
the
parking lot. A new proposal was
then submitted which involves
linking Lowell Thomas and the
Dyson Center together to create
one very
large
building with two
very different entities.
"This
latest proposal was much
more attractive, and can make
the buildings into a showcase for
the
campus,'' said Massie. "A
new, more attractive sitting area
can
be
created outside between
the
two buildings, maybe even a
cafC possibly."
The
business
program at Marist
bas been nationally
recogni
zed
by theAACSB, or Association to
Advance Collegiate Schools of
Business. This agency approve,;
only 30 percent of business pro-
grams worldwide. The Princeton
Review has also named Marist as
one of the top
23
7
business
schools worldwide, which has
drawn the college national atten-
tion.
Jeffrey Helf,
a
sophomore dou-
ble majoring
in
Accounting and
Finance said,
"It
will be nice to
have a place business students
can call their own."
Plans are in place to create a
financial market area
as
well,
and to create a more hands-on
experience
for
students.
Kimberly Watanabe, a
sopho-
more majoring in Finance with a
minor
in
Economics said,
"It
will
enhance
the learning
experie
nce
of
students,
who instead of hav-
ing to go buy the books, would
be able to learn in more detail
about the process of a stock
exchange."
The three
schools
currently
located in Dyson
are
extremely
cramped,
and the addition would
provide each with more room to
free up teaching space. Plans are
in
place to create
a
financial mar-
ket
area a~
well
It
would
also
create a
larger
area for
the School of Graduate
and
Continuing
Education to be able to
grow.
"The School of
Graduate
and
Continuing Education
will
be the major
growth generator of the
college over the next
decade," said Massie.
"It
will keep class sizes
small and allow
us
to
offer more online grad-
uate courses."
"Marist
has matched
and passed some of the
best business schools in
the nation, and inside

improved immensely,"
said Helt:
..
Hopefully the rest of
campus will catch up
technolo-
gy-wise."
The college
hopes
that there
will be a groundbreaking by May
2007
said Massie, although there
is no official time
·
frame. The
process has taken so long up to
this point because of
severa
l
fac-
tor; 'iince the
grant
was
first
made.
The process of picking a
design
has delayed progression the
most. Once a design is agreed
upon, it will then need
to
be pre-
sented
to
the
town
of
Poughkeepsie for construction
approval. A planning board will
next
need
to meet with the archi-
tect, Skidmore Owipgs and
Merrill, said Massie
.
If
the
proposal of
linking
Lowell Thomas and Dyson is
picked, it will be a very
distinct
design, to
help
the college stand
out
more
among other campuses.
The amount
so
far may be only
$3 million, but additional
funds
arc
always accepted and will
only help to make the addition
better, said
Massie

Tim
Massie said that
"filling

task,
whether it is for part-time
or full-time workers."
Massie said he be
l
ieves that the

was
a significant event, as
it
infonned
local taxpayers on the impor-

them correctly,
At

kshop,
Congresswoman Sue Kelly stat-
ed that
"the
people in the fRS
were pretty arrogant."
Kelly
feels that the National Taxpayer
Advocate Service helps taxpay-
ers get their questions answered
promptly, because the IRS
has
a
reputation for not answering
their p

Americans have large role in global instability
Rumsfeld letter to troops emphasizes distorted government decisions
QyDAN BLACK
Staff Writer
Nearly
two hundred
and
thirty
one
years
ago, a
new
na
tio
n
declared
its
independence from
Great
Britain
and the people of
America gained a new and
unprecedented level of personal
freedoms. So began the grand
experiment
whose end result
revtaled to the world what
peo-
ple
will
do
if
given the ability
to
choose, freely and purely, the
individual dir~tion of their lives
and the collective direction of
the society
in
which they live.
Doesn't it make perfect sense
that. after
procuring
the greatest
amount, per capita, of the world's
wealth, the next step was con-
structing
the most powerful, ver-

seen? But

they
did not solicit and
upheavals they did not desire,
the world's people were at the

architecture, subject

tural urban renewal that left
behind models resembling our
fashions and
sty

,
not those of
the bumble natives, who then
bad to alter their traditional
lifestyles
to
accommodate
America's.
Isn't it odd and revealing that
so many American people
will
deny this even happens because
they
are
unaware, because they
passively accept this foreign pol-
icy in favor of paying mind only
to their own lives, because this is
what they choose?
Isn't it peculiar that people who
are
activists, those who devote
their lives to speaking out for the
voiceless
victims of America's
culture-killing
ways,
are
met not
with attentive ears but
with
stig-
matizing labels of the ignorant
masses when they speak?
It
is
too often the case that the
demanding,
time-consuming
choice of critical thought and
informed opinion is declined;
embraced is the more convenient
choice
of
broad,
sweeping
gener-
alizations and rationalizing one's
apathy to injustice, only because
that
choice
is easier.

is what
causes discomfort among some
who

America's

unborn children and the
barri-
cading of gays and

from
wedding chapels are the issues
we choose
to
focus on while we
turn
a blind eye to the genocide
in Africa, the
oppression
and
slavery in Asia, the diplomatic
unrest in South and Central
America, and the generations-
old
conflict
plaguing our
'ally
1
Israel in the struggle against the
Palestinians.
Proximity is an
extremely influential variable
affecting against which issues
we,
as Americans,
chose
to
take
up anns. The children who suf-
fer through prayer in school have
more
sympathy
than the children
who suffer death from starvation
and poverty because the number
of miles from our doorsteps is
fewer in the
first
case,
and this, I
believe, is strange.
These oddities
I
have identified
came from my own
reflections
after reading Secretary
of
Defense Rumsfeld's letter, issued
on March
19,
the third anniver-
sary
of the fighting
in
Iraq,
to the
members of the U.S. armed
·
forces,
in
essence, issued to me.
He
describes
the
Arabs against
whom we fight as possessive of
"twisted ideology", a choice of
words that dissolves the respon-
sibility o'f understanding
as
weU
as the obligation to non
-
violent
conflict resolution strategy, and
vanquishes any hope of peace.
This choice, like so many others
of the past, appears motivated by
laziness, convenience, and expe-
diency; it leads to bloodshed and
international instability that is
not inevitable, but chosen.

back," he said. "It's pretty dis-
gusting."
Lorraine Perez, sophomore,
criminal justice major and
Capullo's
R.A.,
said mold is
an
ongoing problem with residents.
"A
lot of residents complain
about mold in their bathroom,"
she
said. "One girl, who still
lives in Gartland and is allergic
to mold, had her father come in
and bleach the house."
Perez
said
this
issue comes up
at meetings and resident direc-
tors and
students
call mainte-
nance.
"We bring it up at
staff
meet-
ings," she said. "R.D.s and resi-
dents call maintenance, but they
take too long to respond."
Maintenance has responded to
these problems
b
efore,
as in
Capullo's
case, but Perez said
bleaching, to her knowledge, is
only a temporary
solution
to the
mold problem.
However, all
inquiries to maintenance were
deflected to housing.
Capullo said she fears this
could become a serious problem
with other students allergic to the
mold.
"What happens if there is per-
manent damage to my respirato-
ry
system?"
she said.
"What
happens
to other people who are
severely
allergic to.mold?"
But for now, Capullo's main
focus lies with settling
in
to her
new housing and getting
back to her school work and
track practices; both
suffered
because of her health issues.
Capu
llo
said she missed class
and athletic events because of
her medical condition.
"I
had to skip class for the first
time this semester," she said. "I
haven't
run
or competed in track
for four weeks. This ruined my
free
time on weekends because
I
had to go home for doctor's
appointments."
Capullo said the cruel irony of
the situation is what makes it
most
lamentable.
"I worked so hard to live in
Gartland; I had 34 priority
points
last year," she said. "Now I can't
live there because of
a
health
problem Marist can't control."

Reusable containers ease enviromental concerns
By

RITTANY

ON
Circle Contributor
If there is one thing that char-
acterizes the college student
lifestyle is their shared belief in
the virtue of convenience. Every
day Marist students cast their
vote in favor of convenience as
they choose paper cups over
p
l
astic mugs for their morning
fix of coffee. Paper cups bear tes-
timony to the "on the go"
lifestyle so common for many
Marist
students.
Two years ago, Marist Di
n
ing
Services and the student govern-
ment
(SGA)
began a campaign to
shift the expectations of this
"on
the go" use of paper products
by
introducing the
"Lug-A-Mug"
program.
For many here on
campus, that campaign
has
been,
in large part, an invisible attempt
to c
h
ange our
"throw
away"
mentality.
This program is intended to
reduce paper-product
u
se by giv-
ing a small cash ince
n
tive meant
to sway students towards utiliz-
ing another reusable
type
of tup-
perwear: a mug.
This preventative measure may
imply that a college student's
drinking and eating habits are
equally plagued by an on-the-go
undertone as other aspects of
their daily life. By the mere dom-
inance of paper cups in the hands
of students here on Marist cam-
pus over plastic mugs it appears
students are prone to more readi-
ly availab
l
e products, i.e. paper
products, over reusable ones.
Accordi
n
g to the Marist
College Dining Services Web
page, the
"Lug:.A-Mug"
cam-
paign hopes to make using a
reusab
l
e mug for the several
drinks college students consume
each day more appea
l
ing by pro-
viding
a
5
cent discount on all
drinks they purchase to
fill
their
mug and not a paper cup.
The cash incentive is aimed at
creating a second thoug
h
t for stu-
dents who often reach for a paper
cup out of second nature, and to
also pra
i
se students who inde-
penden
tl
y see the value
in
saving
on paper.
However, it appears that stu-
dent's interest in such a pro-
gram's attempt
to
make a
l
arger
impact through small changes,
will generally fade over time.
Joesph Heavey, genera
l
manag-
er of Dining Services, witnessed
that at the onset of t
h
e program,
"students
were enthusias
t
ic and
participative and then i
n
terest
began to
wane."
To keep awareness from dying
Heavey said that "the program is
promoted at the point of sale and
on our (Marist Dining Services)
website."
Yet it appears these efforts
are
going unnoticed.
Sophomores
Teresa Dente
l
and Step
h
anie
Nouchi both attest
to having no
knowledge of the "Lug-A
-
Mug"
prog
r
am even ex
i
sting.
This
rea
l
ity could
be
disheartening to
Marist Dini
n
g Service's and
SGA's attempts.
The use of the mug may seem
trivia
l
to students but has great
pote
nt
ia
l
for last
i
ng impact
Heavey emphasized.
"Ifwe d
i
stri
b
uted
1,000
mugs
and each stu
d
ent used that mug
three times
per
week instead of
paper for the 30 academic weeks
a year, then the savings would be
approximately
90,000
paper cups
or somewhere aro
u
n
d
3,600
pounds of paper," he said.
This outlook did come across
as significant to both Dentel a

Spring links itself to plant
growth
and the start of landscape
work, getting rid of pesky weeds.
Marist's "topics
in nutrition"
class however, has taught stu-
dents that thbse pesky
weeds,
such as dandelion roots, can ben-
efit
the
human
body.
The class' goal transcends the
typical health course syllabus, in
which students team about

to promote hea

Its transcendent academic qua
l
i-
ty connects material covered
in
class to po
li
tics concerning glob-
al nutrition issues.
Ma
r
guerite Dunne teac
h
es this
class and has been a Clinica
l
Med
i
cinal Herbalist for the past
30 years.
Her job consists of
seeing patients for medica
l
con-
ditions that would
prefer
to use
a
lt
ernative medici
n
es such as
herbs instead of common med-
ical practices.
Dunne
said
that
listening
to the
h
uman body will assist a healthi-
er l
i
festyle.
"I find it an atrocity when
a
hospita
l
gives patients bad
advice about having surgery for
their problems," she said. "Your
body is doing you a favor by
showing you pain.
Pain is
a
good sign."
Dunne takes her students out-
side of
tbe typical classroom to
teach the most to her students.

Where do Foxes go when they're Hungry?
Come, sit, eat and be merry at this fine local dining establishment
ily
MICHAEL MAYFIELD
Features Editor
Hungry? Why wait? No, don't
go getting a Snickers, that won't
satisfy.
There is an alternative
however.
Only
a stone's throw
away from Upper West Cedar
lies a quaint little
establishment
appropriately
named
The
Hungry Fox.
Located on the comer of Violet
Avenue and Spring St, the diner
boasts a friendly atmosphere
along
with
its close proximity
to
the Marist College campus.
Walking in you immediately
get a
"down-home"
feeling.
With about ten to twelve booths
and seven seats at the counter
towards
the back wall, the eatery
will never seem too big or over-
whelming. Your eyes shan't be
bored as an eclectic mixture of
portraits and pictures decorate
the walls.
left back wall. Foxes, choose
your poison: is
it basketball that
gets you going? Baseball
per-
haps? The guts and glory of the
gridiron?
Or,
maybe you want
something different, maybe a
touching story on Lifetime.
Right well, the big screen is
there for the enjoyment of all
regardless.
And what of prices? Move
over Eveready and Palace
Diners, how 'bout seven bucks
for a sub stacked high with
meats and veggies a plate of
curly fries, coleslaw, and a drink.
Sound good? Well it was, and
the service was speedy too!
27-year-old Brian Weglinski,
the owner of
Hungry
Fox,
recog-
nizes the importance of inexpen-
sive food to college students.
"I
know college students are
always looking for a place to eat
that does not cost much, but has
huge portions," he says "That is
why I opened the Hungry Fox
near Mari st and Dutchess."
Free is also a good price, which
is bow much delivery costs.
Score one for the wallet!
No matter the time of day, the
Hungry Fox can cater to your
needs, serving breakfast, lunch
and dinner. Sit in, take out. or
have your food delivered, but
isn't it about time you had your-
self some good, cheap food
that's close to home.

Facebookers Beware
Employers check more than just resume
By
MARGEAUX LIPPMAN
Circle Contributor
Describing your Tuesday night
adventures on Facebook may
be
more consequential than
it
seems.
Now, it can serve as a major
deterrence for future employers.
Facebook became an internet
phenomenon in 2004 when it
was
founded by
Harvard
student
Mark Zuckerberg as a way for
students from
Ivy
League col-
leges to network. As of today, it
has expanded to over 2,000 insti-
tutions. F acebook is now the
largest
college based networking
site; approximately 20,000 new
accounts
are
being created daily.
Recently, employers for intern-
ships have been searching
Facebook
to
scope out prospec-
tive employees.
Deirdre Sepp, Director of the
Center for Career Services, sent
out a campus-wide warning via
e-mail dated March 24th.
"I
have
learned
that employers
are looking up job applicants on
Facebook and other such sites, ..
Sepp said.
Information
can only be gar-
nered from a profile with prior
enrollment at Marist or being
someo
ne's
Facebook friend.
However, many students post
pictures of drunken moments in
their profile. This may shine
poorly upon those in need of
employment and internships;
thus damaging their resumes and
overall college experiences.
"Whether or not this is fair or
ethical on the part of the employ-
ers can be argued, however, it is
happening," Deirdre Sepp said in
a recent e-mail.
The Marist campus remains
somewhat
unconcerned
in
regards to the ethical implica-
tions of this development.
"Unethical? No. But
it
is a bit
intrusive
,"
said Kyle Heady, a
freshman.
Privacy concerns seemed to be
at the top of Career Services'
agenda, with Sepp stating that,
"We are living in an era in which
private information can be
accessed rather easily by those
outside one's circle of family and
friends and therefore it is imper-
ative that you protect yourself."
The idea of privacy leaves
much room for discussion.
"It's okay to
look
at because it's
public information. You can
always choose to keep
it
pri-
vate," said Chris Kozak, fresh-
man. "This wrongly character-
izes what privacy is. This infor-
mation is nothing 'private'
because I choose to disclose it."
As for if their Facebooks give
an accurate perception of who
they are in the "real world" or,
rather, the workplace, Marist stu-
dents arc in agreement.
"I mean, it's good because the
employer gets to see who the
person is," Heady said "but it's
bad
because
people are different
from work when they're just
hanging around."
Many students view Facebook
as
an outlet for their documenta-
tion of college, a service that
many employers did not have
as
students.
"I
think it's okay for
them
to
look at it," said Cindie Palumbo,
a freshman, "but to base their
decisions off
a
picture or quote
that they see on it isn't fair,
because they were in college
once too and most likely did the
same
things that college students
today are doing. They just could-
n't document their activities on a
site like Facebook."
Palumbo adds that
"I
don't
think
I
have anything objection-
able to post.
I
think
if
I
did par-
take in things that could be seen
negatively
I'd be more cautious,
yes.
I
wouldn't want to be, but
I
would."
However, this is not the belief
of much of the campus.
"If you want to disclose that
you go out drinking and partying
on the web, that's fine. You
should
be
comfortable with
yourself and so should the mar-
ketplace," said Kozak.
Moreover,
as
Heady says,
"people should know me for who
I
am."

Nationally acclaimed band, OAR to play McCann Center
By
NICOLE GOGE
Circle Contributor
The McCann Center
Gymnasium is scheduJed for a
transformation into
-a
concert
venue complete with staging,
dressing rooms, and catering to
accommodate the band 0.A.R.
Marist
College's
Student
Programming Council has set the
0.A.R.
or
Of
a
Revolution per-
fonnaoce for Friday, March 31.
SPC
Vice
President Laura
Monroe said the council has been
trying to schedule O.A.R. for
over a year, and said when the
SPC general board members
have been asked to make recom-
mendations,
O.A.R
"is always a
huge name
thrown
at us."
"We were thrilled when they
had a date available" she said.
According to the group's
Yahoo! Music biography, O.A.R.
fanned at Ohio State University.
From there, they started
with
producing demos for universi-
ties. By word-of-mouth, "news
spread about the band's roots
rock and
reggae-inflected
upbeat
songs,'
'
according to the site.
The band began to tum ou\
chart-topping hits.
0.A.R.
released
their first album in
1997, and in this past year they
produced their seventh album
,
"Storied ofa Stranger."
The music on this new album is
described by the group on their
website, Ofarevolution.com. as a
representation of the
"
power
0.A.R brings to stages across the
country.
"
Their music is "accomplished
,
relevant and most importantly a
voice of optimism
in
a world
filled with doubt," the site said.
0.A.R. is representative of the
diverse genres of music the SPC
concerts try to
represent.
The
SPC executive board has held
concerts for performers from
Michelle Branch and Busta
Rhymes to Newfound Glory,
Good Charlotte, and Reel Big
Fish
.
Most recently
,
SPC hosted
Dashboard Confessional in the
fall
of
2005.
Vice President
Monroe and the other SPC exec-
utive members have the respon-
sibility of organizing these con-
certs each semester
.
"
As awesome as Dashboard
Confessional was, the crowd is
already more into 0.A.R., and
the hype is a lot bigger,
"
Monroe
said.
Monroe foresees the concert as
being a great success for more
reasons than 0.A.R. 's wide-
s
pread popularity.
"A big band creates this huge
energy,
"
she said. This differs
from
other
groups
like
Dashboard Confessional where
"the focus was on the lead
singer
."
The O.A.R. pctfonnance will
also differ from the
fall
concert
because it has tour sponsors.
PlayStation and MLB will be
offering giveaways and promo-
tions
to
concert-goers.
These concerts provide stu-
dents with an occasion to see
performers they enjoy that are
typically difficult to gain access
to, or just
present
the oppartunity
to experience another type of
music.
Freshman
Dan
DiSante
classi-
fies himself as a fan who owns
the majority of 0.A.R. 's albums,
and he shares their hometown of
Columbus, Ohio. This common
tie may explain why his favorit.e
song
is
"Road
Outside
Columbus."
DiSante said he plans to
"Sharpie [his] arm with the
words
,
'Road
Outside
Columbus
,'
and wave it in the
front tow" in hopes that he can
encourage the group to play the
song at the concert.
The
low
ticket prices
,
along
with the acceptance of Marist
Money encourage students who
do not consider themselves fans
of the group to attend the event,
according to freshman Jessie
Hamilton.
"I
couldn't tell you one song
they play,"
Hamilton
said.
Despite her
lack
of interest
in
O
.
A.R. 's music, she has already
purchased her ticket because
"
it
is something to do on a Friday
night."
Tickets
are
available for Marist
students at the student center for
$10.
The cost for other
lac
.
al
area
college students is $15, and $25
for the general public.
The
money collected from ticket
sales goes
towards
off-setting the
concert costs, and funding future
SPC events.
The price is extremely reason-
able,
"
especially for a concert of

Feedback for arranging to have

has
been positive,
according
to
Tim
Morgenstern,
who holds a portion of the
responsibilities
in
organizing the
event, and is sc'heduled to
assume the role of SPC presi-
dent.
"We do expect for this concert
to sell out
,
so make sure to get
your ticket," he said.
Creating a concert venue
requires SPC to make Marist rep-
resentatives available to tour
managers
,
provide security, and
have people to manage ticketing.
These services are
in
addition to
preparing the physical stage set,
and making the necessary servic-
es available to the performers.
Morgenstern accredhs SPC
general board members, outside
volunteers and technicians from
College Activities for making the
set-up possible.
''The most exciting part is the
stage
building,"
Morgenstern
said. "It's when
I
tend to be most
excited for the perfonnance
itself

there's the whole antici-
p~tory aspect of

From Page Fourteen
WNBA recognizes Camara inviting her to pre-draft camp
think she's the funniest kid on
the
team."
"She's a person of simple
tastes.
She
likes
doing her
schoolwork, watching
TV, and
lying
in her bed. Does she like to
dance
and go out clubbing and
stuff, yea, but she doesn't do that
much here.
She's focused on
what she wants
to
do, and she
sees the light at the end of the
·
tunnel and she's working hard
towards
it."
Gebbia added that Camara is
very dedicated, and very humble
even after having had such great
success in her career at Marist.
"As good as she is, she never
takes herself too seriously," she
said. "She's got a magnetic per-
sonality, especially to young
IJds ...
they love her. She's very
outgoing around a big group of
people,
but she also likes to kind
of have
her own .time, and be by
herself .. "
Dedication and perseverance
are
the IJnd of intangibles that
wiJJ seal a draft pick for Camara,
but not until WNBA scouts have
seen she can play professionally.
"She's got to play well,"
Giorgis said. "She's got to show
her versatility. She's got to show
that
she can put it on the floor
and go to the boards and rebound
with them. She's got to make
shots, especially off the bounce
and from
behind
the ark. She
'
s
got to
be
able to defend, and
if
she is going to be
an
undersized
four, she's got to show that she
can
defend the bigger stronger
forward and cause them prob-
lems by taking them outside and
then beating
them off the
bounce."
Giorgis said that while Camara
has great versatility and athleti-
cism, one of her drawbacks is
that she does not fit the mold for
any of the five p0sitions on a
WNBA roster.
"You like her athleticism. you
like ber versatility. She's got the
athleticism and the build
to
play
there," he said. "Probably her
drawback is
that she's a tweener.
She's really more of a four play•
er,
but
she'd
be
an
undersized
four player.
Her lateral foot
speed is a question as a three.
But she's got a three, small for-
ward
type, size. So that's going
to be
interesting
bow they will
utilize her."
However WNBA coaches plan
to use her in their system, having
played in a motion offense will
be a great asset according to
Gebbia.
"I think having played the
motion offense here is going to
help her in the draft, because
they're
going to want to see what
you do without the ball in your
hands.
And with the motion,
you're constantly moving, cut-
ting and screening."
Gebbia added that coach
Giorgis
has
really
helped
Camara, who was not coached
until she got
to
college, gain an
understanding of bow
to
play the
game.
"What we do is not easy.
I
don't
think
a lot of people ask
their players what we ask of our's
mentally. I
think physically it's
like any other place,
but
I
think
mentally we require a lot."
Gebbia
thinks that if a WNBA
team takes Camara in the draft,
Camara's competitiveness and
game knowledge
will make her a
great practice player,
"I don't know
if
she'd get to
play a whole lot her
first
year,
but
I
think she'd
be
a great team-
mate, and a great practice player
for that
first year, and hopefully
she'd learn," she said. "She's
only been playing basketball for
ten years, and of those ten years,
she hasn't really been coached
until she got to college
.
So she's
got a
lot
to learn still."
Ali
far as Camara 's chance at
getting drafted, Gebbia said,
'"I
think
she's got a pretty good
shot."
Volleyball coach vacency; search for new leader intensifies
an imperative for the team's
strategies for next season.

Distance learning program provides graduate student alternatives
by providing her points on the
matter.
"It's the old school versus the
new school clash," said Bull. She
believes some professors fear
students will never go
to
class.
"Our program is designed to
allow
flexibility."
Bull said the
program allows a student to be
exposed to a new learning envi-
ronment.
"It

Energy drinks may mask effects of alcohol
By

Co-

The 21st century has been
home to many interesting p
r
od-
ucts that have invaded and influ
-
enced a
ll
walks of life. These
products take many diffe
r
ent
shapes and sizes
,
but their effects
are
wholly recognizable.
One such product that has
become a stap
l
e of this decade is
the energy drink Red Bull along
with its counterpart
cheap
vodka. Together
,
these two liq-
u
i
ds com
bi
ne to c
r
eate a drink
sensation that keeps the coeds
com
i
ng back for seconds ... and
sixths and sevenths.
The draw to this concoction lies
not only in its courage b
ui
lding
capabi
l
ities, but also through the
addit
i
on of ingredients like caf-
feine, taurine, and other energy
producing ete
'
ments. This combi-
nation bas long since been
believed to deliver the best of
both worlds to the drinker, pro-
viding a loss of inhibition and
fatigue, b
u
t
r
ete
n
tion of motor
skills
,
meaning you might just
make it to
l
ast call fo
r
a change.
However
,
as all great myths are
inevitably falsified
,
so too has
this myth
run
its course.
According to NBC News, a
new study has suggested that
peop
l
e who com
b
ine energy
drinks with their alcohol may
feel more sober than they really
are. This is no doubt concerning
because people who mistakenly
think they are less impaired can
be a danger to themselves and
others.
"I think peo
p
le should be aware
of this effect of the combinat
i
on -
they feel bette
r
but they are not
'good enough' to drive
,

In experiments with 26 young
male
volunteers,
Brazi
l

researchers found that the men
were no less impaired when they
drank
a mix of alcoho
l
and Red
Bull than when they downed a
standard mixed drink. Howev
e
r
,
the drinkers did report feeling
less fatigue
,
fewer headache
symptoms
,
and better coordina-
tton.
While the reason behind the
elevated respo
n
ses is still not
certain, some of the ingredie
n
ts
found in Red B
ull
may shed
some light on the subject matter.
Energy drinks typically consis
t
of carbohydrates, B v

s,
caffeine

and taurine
,
a derivative
of an am

no acid found in anima
l
tissue. Some studies have shown
that the beverages, or their main
ingredients, may improve mood
and physical performa

Anorex

by an exaggerated
fear of weight gain that causes

,
research from Anorexia Nervosa
and Re
l
ated Eating
D
isorders
suggests.
In today's weigh
t
-obsessed
society
,
peo
pl
e usually tum
t
o
the media as the primary reason
for the development of anorexia
in
women.
It
is a disease pre-
sumed to be a pathological
response to images of slim fash-
ion models and pressure by the
media to appear a certain
"acceptable" way.
However,
new research has shown that
genetics actua
ll
y play a b
i
gger
role in the deve
l
opment of
anorexia nervosa
,
a Reuters arti-
cle s
u
ggests.
On
Monday, a report from the
University of North Caro
l
ina at
Chape
l
Hill
said that a study of
twins in Sweden found that about
fifty-six percent of the risk of
developing anorexia
is
based on
family history.
According to
data from the Swedish Twin
Registry,
this
same
study
declared that anorexia has one of
the highest death rates of any
mental disorder.
More than
31,000
twins in
Sweden born between
1935
and
1958
provided the data for this
study, Reuters explain~
.
The first
group co
n
sisted of Swedish
twins born between 1038 and
1944
and the second group was
of twins born between
1944
and
I
958. The reasoning for these
age groups was that the subjects
would have been teenagers or
young adults
in
1972
and
1973,
the year
in
which a prospectiv
e
study
,
the Screeni
n
g Across the
Lifetime of Twins (SALT)
,
had
begun
.
Researchers found that
"
1
.2 perc
e
nt of women in the
group, and less than
I
percent of
men
,
had the disorder
.
"

Carolina's eating di

try,
said that "this
is
the best esti-
mate so far" of the heritability of
anorexia
.
Dr.
Bulik described the find-
ings, especially the genetic link,
as "good news for patients and
good news for their parents,"
because now there is a concrete
reason for the deve
l
opment of
anorexia
in
some women
,
as
opposed to in the past when "bad
parenting"
and
"influential
media" were solely to blame.
Patients with anorexia, espe-
cially females
,
are "fighting their
biology
,
" Dr. Bulik said in a tele-
phone press conference.
Between
1
998 and 2002,
researchers co
n
ducted
in
terviews
with
31,406
mem
b
ers of the twin
registry who had taken part in the
SALT study. In excluding twins
who a
l
ready had anorexia in
1972
and
1973
,
these
r
esearchers
were able to study possib
l
e pre-
dictors of the disorder.
These interviews p
r
oved to be
very
r
eveal
i
ng
for
the
resea
r
c
h
ers.
They found that
"the overall prevalence of
anorexia was 1.29 perce
n
t
i
n
females and 0.29 pe
r
cent in
ma
l
es, roughly comparable with
earlier researc
h
. In females, the
prevalence increased, from
0.65
percent among the older twins to
1.56 percen
t
in those born
between
1
945 and 1958. There
was no change for men."
Furthennore, the study showed
that "the heritability of the disor-
der, assessed by comparing con-
co
r
dance between monozygotic
and dizygotic twins
,
was 0
.
56,
a
l
tho
u
gh the
9
percent% confi-
dence interva
l
was wide -- from
0
to
0.87."
Based on this know
l
e
d
ge
,
Dr.
Bu
li
k ascertains that "genes play
a
substant
i
a
l
role in the l
i
ability
to this i
ll
ness."
These
fi
n
dings
should, according to Dr. Bulik,
lead to more
in
depth studies of
the ge
n
etic basis for anorexia,

t
ely working towards the

Red Foxes defeat Rhode Island after month-long hiatus

After a month long hiatus due
to match cancellations, the
Marist men's tennis team was
back in action Sunday against
Rhode Island.
The Foxes dominated both sin-
gles and doubles
,
and despite
rain (whic
h
cut three singles
matches short), they finished the
day winning all four possible
points from
the
Rams.
It was the first win for the team
in almost two months
.
Marist swept doubles competi-
tion
,
winning all
three
matches
handily while only losing five
games total. Doubles have been
the team's strength throughout
the spring
,
and posting scores
like
8-1,
and 8-2 on Sunday only
furthered proved the Foxes'
might in pairs.
On

Coach Tim Smith heaped
praise on the efforts of bis play-
ers.
"I'm happy with the way we
p
l
ayed, especially the four, five
and six guys," he said.
He attributed much of the
team's success to ba
l
ance from
his first players all the way
down.
"We have a lot of parity on our
team," he said. "Our six guy can
take
a
match from our one guy at
any time."
Of the thirty-six games played
in fourth, fifth and sixth singles
,
Rhode Island claimed victory in
only two,
as
junior Ray Josephs,
sophomore Greg Marks, and sen-
ior Federico Rolon cleaned
house. Rolon was perfect

Search
for
new
volleyball coach continues to intensify
TAN.
GET
AMPED
By
VALERIE CAPULLO
Circle Contributor
The Marist College women'
s
volleyball team is searching for a
new coach.
The Red Foxes' volleyball
team closed out the 2005 season
with an
8·20
overall record and a
2-7 record in the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference
(MAAC).
Tim Murray
,
Marist College,
Director of Ath
l
etics, said that
the faculty is involved with a
nation wide search for a new
coach.
Because of personal human
resource infonnation, Murray
said he could not disclose any
information on the prosRective
candidates for a coach
,
but he
said he does believe that the
search is going well and soon
they
will find a qualified appli•
cant.
"We
are having many candi•
dates on campus
,
and
I feel that
the search is going well,
"
he
said. ..We
'
re going through a
,ather normal process with the
hiring of a new coach."
In January
,
head coach Sarah
Hutton resigned to take an
"amazing opportunity with a
phnnnaceutical company."
"Coach
Jenn
Corkum recently
quit taking a position with the
volleyball team
in the University
of West Virginia
,
" Murray said.
But in contrast, the members of
the team have a different reason•
ing for their coache
s
' resignation.
According to players on the
team
,
such as sophomore outside
bitter Christy Luke
s,
that was not
the reason for her resignation.
"
Pressure from us members of
the team as well as parents
played a big part in the resigna•
tion of our coaches," she said.
Freshman Lindsey O
'
Dell
,
a
setter for the team,
reaffinned
what Murray said to
be true.
"Right now, we are without a
head coach and assistant coach
,
because our head coach left for a
job in phannaceutical sales,
"
she
said.
"
Then
,
our assistant coach
decided to leave and took an
assistant coaching Job at West
Virginia.
"
Murray said he expects the
team to stay in shape during the
off season.
''They
arc
in their
non•tradi•
tional season right now, and my
expectations of them are that
they just stay in shape and con•
tinue with playing volleyball,"
he said.
Lukes
,
the outside hitter, said
that her team just isn't playing
the same without a coach.
"We just recently went to a
Fordham
Invitational
without a
coach and didn't do so hot," she
said.
"
Practices are a lot harder
,
because there really isn't any
structure, and nobody knows
how exactly things are supposed
to
be
run."
Lukes also said although
Hutton stepped down, the team
still needs coaching guidance.
"
We're relie\led that Coach
Hutton had stepped doWD after
pressure
from parents and play•
ers," she said. "But now that we
do not currently have a coach,
we're lost right now
."
The team bas turned to the ath•
letic department for help and
support
in finding a new coach
as soon as possil:51e to help the
lady foxes get readjusted to their
game
.
In the meantime of the
search for a coach, Strength and
Conditioning coach CNig
White
is helping the team stay in shape.
But this cannot replace the
coaching that is needed to guide
the girls
to
success, and accord•
ing to Murray
,
the assistant
SOC·
cer coach facilitator of Marist
College is working with
the
team
as well.
Without a coach
,
Lukes said
there is poor communication on
the
team.
''The girls are getting into
argu•
ments and disagreements more
often than before
,
" she said. "We
all just aren't happy.'
'
When Murray was questioned
about the general lack of morale
and
happiness
on the
team
he did
his best to assure that the athletic
departme0t was doing every•
thing they could to ensure a fast
replacement of coaches
.
Junior outside hitter
Dominique Marie O'Sullivan
said that she is excited for the
arrival of the new coach, and
hopefully he or she will be better
than the old one
.
"Right now, we do not have a
coach but have been informed
that Tim Murray, the Athletic
director, has interviewed
three
candidates in the past couple
weeks," she said. "He told the
learn that he should
be making a
decision
in
the couple weeks.
The three seniors have been
run•
ning practices
,
and we still con•
tinue to lift
three days a week."
O'Sullivan said that even with•
out a coach
,
the Red Foxes are
starting to
prepare
for the
upcoming season
.
"It's nice to have a little break
without a coach
,"
she said. "We
are able to do what we want in
practice and focus on what we
feel we need the most improve-
ment."
Freshman outside hitter Kelsey
Schaefer said she knows that
Tim Murray is currently looking
for a coach and that he has nar•
rowed it do"'1l. to three people
.
"My feeling on not
having
a
coach is that we as girls
try to
improve
,
but it is bard," she said.
"Without a coach, we got
crushed at our
tournament
on
Saturday
,
but we have to take
into consideration not having a
coach as well as only having six
girls on the
team. Three girls are
playing out of position as well
since the other girls are abroad."
Schaefer said having a coach is
