Ben Atherton-Zeman sounded
a gong as students filed into the

the sonorous sound every 12 sec-

the introduction given

A
t
herton-Zeman,
an
active
member
of
the
National
Organization for Men Against
Sexism, brought his one-man
play, "Voices of Men," to Mari st
last Monday. Atherton-Zeman is
famous for his amazingly accu-
rate impersonations of male
celebrities while teaching young
men about sexual assault, date
rape, dating vio
l
ence, domestic
violence, sexual harassment, and
the objectification of women.
The show alternated video
clips portraying victims of vio-
lent beatings and domestic vio-
lence with intentiona
ll
y humor-
ous caricatures of fictiona
l
men
like
Rocky
Balboa, James Bond,
and Austin Powers. He said he
ehose these three
characters
because they arc icons of white,
American masculinity.
Each of the characters came out
on ~tage to make a point.

By

E
W MOLL
Leader in homeland
security
Apparently, the good
people over at SNAP arc
none too pleased about
comments
I
made last
week
regarding
their
importance (or lack there-
of)
.
The truth is SNAP
officers play a crucial
role in the safety and
security of this campus.
Who
can
forget
their
breakup of the infamous
Gartland Cocaine Ring of
'
98? Or that time they
escorted someone from
the library to Sheahan
Hall
?
So, to SNAP
,
I apol-
ogize.
And now
,
a brief public
s
ervice
announcement
from
John
Gildard:
Security has
s
tarted a pro
-
gram called "Lock It Or
Lose It
,"
designed to get
students to
lock their
doors when they are not
present
,
preventing thefts
from happening in resi-
dent areas. In a check of
Leo
,
Sheahan
,
and
Champagnat,
l
9
rooms
were left unlocked and
unoccupied
.
So Kids
,
lock
your doors and protect
your
stuff.
Also,
the
Security office has a large
collection in its Lost &
Found, so if you have lost
something, check Security
to see if it
'
s there
.
9/19 -
Two speed bump signs
and a parking sign were
reported missing. I
'
m not
exactly sure what one
would
do
with
these
signs.
Kinda tough to
hang
them
somewhere
,
seeing as it wou
l
dn't be
too difficult for other
people to realize you stole
them
.
Unless you have
cool friends.

19-LEO
There was a minor skir-
mish between a couple
students on the third floor
of Leo Hall, which in the
past had been known as a
bastion of good behavior
.
Says John Gildard
,
"No
harm was done
,
except to
their egos."

An employee reported
that their vehicle
had
been shot with a paintball
gun at St. Anne's Place

and the town police were

A

was
this a drive-by done by
the most colorful gang in
Poughkeepsie? Or maybe
they just couldn't afford
real guns. Either way,
good work by those guys.

9/23 - TOWNHOUSE LOT
In the Townhouse park-

it

ciples of it all.
I
have this

of a
s
tudent here. My
questions
are
these
:
Where arc the people that
he was visiting
,
and why
did they just
l
eave him in
the parking lot? I'd like to
think Marist students are
better at hospitality than
that. At least lay down in

In other words, the sole reason
for interrogating prisoners is to

that the possibility of a nuclear

should
be
sufficient reason to
validate the value and necessity
of interrogations. It aJso means
would never voluntarily divulge
crucial information to people
they consider mortal enemies.
The report goes on to state that
"people unfamiliar with military
interrogations might view a per-

an EPW (Enemy Prisoner of

Geneva Conventions, as offen-

Aside

there are bou-

Lychee and Rambman

with
other exotic fruits, for
a fraction
of the grocery store price. The
stores sell small figurines of

(the cats with one

.
There arc crates
filled with bronze medallions
and wind chimes and other

You are wh~t you eat
By
ALEXANDER TINGEY
Health
Editor
If
you've
visited
McDonald's in recent
months,
· chances are you noticed
something different about
their packaging.
In accor-
dallce with the FDA, and fol-
lowing
a myriad of law suits,
the fast food giant began
printing nutrition information
on their p~kaging.
AcCording to
Informed
Eating, an online newsletter,
"the
labels
on food packages
will
not be read until after
purchase and upon closer
inspection is a thinly veiled
attempt at deflecting govern-
ment intervention that could
have even greater impact.
How effective is seeing the
calories on the wrapper of a
cheeseburger you've already
purchased?"
Far ahead of both Wendy's
By
ALEXANDER TINGEY
Health Editor
and Burger King, McDonald's
has stepped across the line of
unusually unhealthy food and
is the only one of the tlrree
major chains to offer such
readily available
information.
Of course, all three offer
nutrition information on their
respective websites, and the
information is also available
from independent test facili-
ties.
One may begin to question
this move from McDonald's
in light of a recent study pub-
lished
by
the American
Journal
of
Preventative
Medicine. The report which
was released this week was
intended to survey the average
American's label
reading
skills.
Some of the
results
from
this independent study
were surprising.
In total 200 participants
entered into the survey,
70
percent of which had at least a
ninth grade reading
level
,
and
nearly a third had some col-
lege education.
However,
when asked to calculate the
number of calories in half a
bagel
when given the caloric
content of a whole bagel, only
60 percent of those surveyed
came up with the right answer.
Bottom line: people don't
always know what they're
eating.
In another effort to
simplify the health-conscious
society in which we are
immersed, the FDA changed
the faithful Food Pyramid,
which was introduced nearly
two
decades
ago, in light of a
more personalized approach.
The new system of
classifica-
tion takes into account one's
activity level, body size, gen-
der and age as part of a com-
prehensive approach to
'nutri-
tional health.

but what are you eating?
America; rather, the new
pyramid factors in all the
above.
The problem with most food
labels, according to experts in
the field of
dietary
health, is
that the labels
are misleading
and
hard
to
decipher.
As
ABC
news
reported
this week,
"when most
people
look at a
food
label
,
their eye goes right
to the
number
of carbohy-
drates, the grams of fiber or
sugar," said Felicia Stoler, a
nutritionist
and exercise phys-
iologist
in
New
Jersey.
According
to
Stoler,
the
aver-
age American is
looking
in all
the wrong
places
for the infor-
mation
they need most.
"Poor understanding of
nutrition
labels
can make it
difficult for patients to follow
a
good diet," said Dr. Russell
Rothman, study author and
professor at the Vanderbilt
Center for
Health
Services
Research
in Nashville, Tenn.
In approaching this
problem,
the federal government has
published
a
dietary
guide for
Americans for the past seven
years. According to a press
release
announcing the release
of the sixth edition, "the
Dietary
Guidelines
for
Americans
places
a stronger
emphasis on reducing calorie
"800fumphon
and increasing
phySical activity. This
joint
project of the
Departments
of
Health and
Human
Services
and
Agriculture is
the
latest
of
the
five-year reviews required
by federal
law.

ERIC ZEDALIS
Sports Editor
Obozua "Bo" Ehikioya
bas
had
an impact on the Marist football
program since the day he set foot
on campus.
Three years later, in what
would have likely been a break-
out junior season for this pre-
season All-American if not for a
broken bone in his right wrist,
Ehikioya somehow continues to
have
an impact, but from the
sideline.
The
5'
11 ", 220 pound running
back from West
Hempstead,
NY
said he suffered the injury two
days before the team's first game
against Central Connecticut
State, but played on using only
his left hand to carry the football
.
After Marist won its next game
at home again
-
st Sacred Heart
,
Ehik.ioya had medical personnel
take a look at that right wrist, and
they deemed it necessary for
him
to sit out on a week-to-week
basis.
Without Ehikioya, the Red
Foxes lost their next two games,
scoring a combined seven points
in both of those contests.
Head coach Jim Parady has
gone to a running back-by-com-
mittee system, using Keith
Mitchell, Adam
Hansen,
and
Frank Farrington.
Parady said
that
these backs
have done a good
job learning
their assignments and stepping
up in Ehikioya's absence.
"Guys that have filled
in
for
him have
done
a nice job for us,"
Parady said.
"I
feel
that
we've
been
good at the
running
back
position
in
his absence. We can't
wait for him to come back,
but
without him, I think we've been
okay."
But what Marist misses most
from Ehilcioya
is
his athleticism,
wh:ich enables
him
to make big
plays out of
nothing.
"I
think what he gives you is
the ability to break tackles and
make people miss at the second
and third
level,"
Parady said.
"That's something
that
I
don't
think any other running
back
in
our program can give
us."
Meanwhile, Ehikioya said it is
painful to watch
the
game from
the sideline since
he has had
a
major role in the Red Fox
offense since
his
freshman year.
"It
hurts a
lot not
being able to
go out and help your team win,"
he
said.
"I've been playing for a
couple of years, and
I
feel
like
I'm a piece of the offense out
there, and
I
want to be out there
playing."
But rather than sulk or abandon
his
teammates
altogether
,
Ehikioya has taken on the
role
of
mentor for the running backs
,
keeping their
morale up.
''Now
I
just keep
the
guys
motivated.
Keep their
heads
up
on offense. Injuries happen. You
just have to keep going any way
you can," he said.
Parady said that despite how
hard it
must be for him, Ehik.ioya
has been more
than
just a cheer-
leader
on the sideline, he has
become another set of eyes for
the running backs.
"He's been great [
on
the side-
line].
It's hard for
him
because
it's the first time in his career that
he's been on a sideline. From
day one he's been on the field for
us," he said ... But he's been very
encouraging, and he helps the
running
backs who are playing in
the game. He gives them tips on
what is going on
in
the game.
I'm sure it's hard for
him
with
the injury, but he's
really
over-
come that mentally.
"
Ehikioya's return still remains
in
question.

time of 19: 13.
Her run was

senior Allison Klein fell down
early in the race and rolled

Head coach Phil Kelly was
very pleased with the way his

"They
ran
very well," he said.
"Brittany did an especially good
job due to the fact that Allison
had to leave the race early and
that she,

was

to see her come back
and see her run as well
as

Coach Kelly also commended
Domermuth for business-like
approach to the sport.
"She's been so consistent,"
he
said.
"She never complains
about anything. She's very quiet,
and she's such a great competi-

It
was a
tough
sight at Leonidoff
field on Saturday night as Marist
suffered
its
third loss of the season
and Holy Cross cruised to a 27-0
victory over the Red Foxes.
The Holy Cross Crusaders
improved to 2-2 on the season, and
Marist
fell
to 1-3 in front ofa packed
house of 2,026 fans during the third
leg of
a
four-game home stand.

yards, showed some acrobatics
when he leapt to catch a 30-yard
pass from McGrath with one hand
for a crucial first down.

Coach Hanna said game five
was a back-and-fourth game

said. ''Game five

said. "Arc we going to be
