Abroad program encourages more applicants
By

Wr

The Marist Abroad Program
puzzled stude
n
ts when it was
announced that spots were still
vacant for the Spr
i
ng
2007
semester, over a month past their
posted due date for app
l
icat
i
ons
that was September 15.
The real
i
ty is that this is not a
desperate attempt by the Marist
Abroad P
r
ogra
m
to fill up spots,
but an effort to allow more stu-
dents
to exper
i
ence goi
n
g
abroad.
Typically, the Marist
Ab
r
oad Program sends 125
stu-
dents overseas each
semeste
r
.
For the Sp
r
ing
2007
semester,
they were gra
n
ted addi
t
ional
20-
25
slots,
but few took them up on
the offer.
"It's unfortunate that we could-

't get mo

icants," said
Ou

Deosthale,

ograms. "I think it was the
fact that it was announced so late
that more people didn't jump at
the opportunity. They need time
to think about it over the summer
and many don't have the flex
i
bi
l
-
ity to juggle
courses."
The application process can
discourage
students,
as sustain-
ing ioterest throughout the sea of
paperwork is often the most dif-
ficult part.
"I think the ha
r
dest part for me
was filling out all the forms.

When sitting down to
do this week's security
briefs, l thought "Hey,
why
not do a Halloween
theme?!" Then I remem-
bered a
couple things;
One:
By
the
time
this goes
out to the public, it'll be
two days past Halloween,
so
it
would kind of outdat-
ed, making me look out of
the loop, when we all
know ('m incredibly hip
and in tune with popular
society. Two: As we all
learned last week, I'm not
the best when
it
comes to
...
writing creatively, so try-
ing to work in a theme
may not
be the best idea in
the world. So get ready
for another
set
of generic
and predictable security

An unauthorized guest
attempted to gain entrance
in10 Leo Hall using a stu•
dent's ID card.
No such
luck,
as the guest was
asked to leave the campus.
Come on, buddy. This is
the country that requires
you have to 37 forms of
identification
and
to

flight

What makes you
think
you
can just sneak into Leo
Friggin Hall? Consider it
a lesson learned: Don't
mess with Marist Security.
Security
received
an
anonymous
call
saying
that there was a strong
odor of marijuana coming
from the Fulton
7
area.
And Marist sent out its top
drug enforcers from SNAP
to
do
the
job.
They
brought along thcit trusty
sidekick, SNAPper, the
anti-drug dog, who uses
his keen sense of smell to
weed out(Gct it? "Weed''
out?! HA!) the pot heads
here at Marist. SNAP,per
was able to track down the
apartment, and
a
small
amount of marijuana was
confiscated. Another job
well done for SNAPper
and the gang.

a theft from their car.
Apparently, they left their

stolen. This came after
they had been given a
ticket from security for
parking or something. Not

There was a fire alarm
set
off in Champagnat,
too. No, not because of
burnt food.
It was due to a
fog machine, set
up
for a
Halloween party. Sounds
more like a Prince video
from the Eighty's to me.
But Prince
is
cool. So
I
have no problem with this.
A strobe light would have
completed
the effect, but
also turned
it into a rave.

what's going on ... I think that
everyone is
very
interested
in ... the elections."
Questioning hundreds of
peo-
ple takes a certain amount of tact
and talent, according to
Cauchi.
Good
interviewers need to be,
first and foremost, enthusiastic
about
the job,
she
said.
Confidence also
is
a must,
as
well as neutrality
-
keeping the
pollster's personal beliefs com-
pletely
separate
from intervie-
wees. It can also be hard, at
times, to deal with the
variety
of
personalities
that
may
be
encountered.
Some,
Cauchi
said, are timid and thus hard to
keep on the line long
enough
to
complete a
survey.
Others are
the diametric opposite,
people
who
are "really
passionate"
about their political
views
and
will continue talking
on
the
phone
for
far longer than the
average survey should
run.
Especially in the weeks preced-
ing an
election,
interviewees
seem
more eager to ex.press their
political views.
So
there
is a
need for
a fairly
large
pool
of student workers
manning
the
phones.
On
Halloween,
"It
looks like
we
should
have
between
35
and
40
[pollsters] and that's actually
a
little light,"
said
Project Director
Meghann
Crawford. Typically,
she said, the number ranges from
50 to 60.
"They'll
be [working
from] 5:15 p.m. to 10:00 p.m."
Despite the
sometimes
frantic
pace, Miringoff said that every-
thing was going
along smoothly.
"It's multitasking," he
said.
"We're
doing the
New York
poll,
getting
ready for the
New
Jersey
polls, and
staying
in
tough with
what
'
s going
on [in the political
world]."
And despite long hours
and
hundreds
of
potential
surveys
to
complete, the job has
its
rewards,
said Cauchi.
The
fact
that
students
have
a
hand
in
something so widely
distributed
and used by the media
and
politicians is
a very gratifying
experience.
Seeing a
Marist poll
on
the
news
"definitely gives you a
sense
of accomplishment,"
Cauchi said.

He probably wouldn't want it
any other
way. Politics
in gener-
al
has
always
been a part of his
life.
"I grew
up in a house
where
politics and current events were
discussed
daily,'' Miringoff said.
Since becoming a teacher at
Marist
in
1975, he has further
indulged and developed that con-
nection.
"I
like election day the best.
It's hard,
it's

ing, but
it's

[MIPO] is

which
is the biggest ongoing

A
balancing
act
between the
worlds of
teaching and profes-
sional
polling might seem
impossible, but
"they're
not
as
distinct
as
they
appear,"
Miringoff
said. "I

end up working as interns and
then employees of these media
figures. Eventually, some for-
mer students come back to
class
to teach the next generation,
completing the
cycle.
And that, according to
Miringoff, is
what
he and MIPO
are all about.
It is
a
very gratify-
ing experience, he said,
to
see
students succeed in such a con-
crete, tangible
way.
Theory
taught in a classroom is fine, but
actually doing
a poll and
seeing
the
results
on television, well.
tliat's something special. "Since
1978 when we started, it has
been a student education project;
the education has always been
what's paramount."

Marist Abroad looks to provide
foreign experience for all students
varies depending on the stu-
dent's program and destination.
It
includes
the credits they're
earning abroad, tuition, hous-
ing, insurance, some site visits,
and legal
aspects
that must be
covered.
"Each program is not a car-
bon copy of each other, as they
each respond to the cultural
components of each country,"
said Deosthale.
Deosthale agrees
that some
programs cost less than others
or even the regular tuition of a
semester
here at Marist, in
which case that particular pro-
gram will incorporate other
benefits, such as site visits of
that country.
Air fare is one charge
that
is
the responsibility of the stu-
dent.
"Air
fare is not included
in the abroad fee and I believe
that
it
shouJd
be or at least
some
of
it,"
said
Melissa
Harrington, a Marist
juni
or
currently
studying
in Ireland.
''However, there are some trav•

star hotels, which was definite-
ly a nice perk at the time, but
I
would have rather stayed
in a
less expensive hotel and have
had some

instead."
Excluding the cost of living,
such as meals and travel
expenses while abroad, the
price is approx.imately the
same as a semester at Marist.
"It's worth the obstacles,"
said
Deosthale.
"My
dream is
to have every
student
go
abroad.
I
don't know
if
that
wil1 happen, but one can
dream. It's an incredible expe-
rience."
Any students that want to
leap at the opportunity to go
abroad still have the chance.
Students who go to the Marist
Abroad office within the next
week can begin the application
process and
see
if they're eligi•
ble for the Spring 2007 semes-
ter: and experience this for

In a communal setting, especially a college cam-
pus, mental health is a vital issue and is defined as
a state of emotional and psycho
l
ogical well-being
in which an individual is able to use his or her
cognitive and emotional capab
i
lities, function in
society, and meet the ordinary demands of every-
m
i
tted suicide after suffering from mental health
disorders, later diagnosed as schizoaffective dis-
order, as well as depression and psychosis, for
three years. The devas
t
at
i
on of his death mot
i
vat-
ed his younger sis
t
er, Alison, to start a program
that would give college students
an
outlet to VQice
their distress and to deal with it effect
i
vely to pre-
vent suicide. Her program ge
n
erated so many fol-
l
owers that it sprea
d
throug
h
out her
campus
and
others before fanning a
day life. As college stu-
dents we are constantly
bombarded with all aspects
of life, heavy class loads,
stress, and relationships.
Additionally, we face the
need to reflect and focus on
ourselves. At some point in
our lives, we will all feel
overwhelmed, extremely
saddened, or lost. These
feelings have the ability to
weigh on our minds and to

ness because even
If
you are not

to you may be and the only way you
can effectively help them

Is by

i
ng what is now
known as Active Minds,
Inc. in 2003. "Suicide is the
2nd
l
eading cause of death
for college students" With
sta
t
istics such
as
this, the
reality comes crashing
down. The need for aware
-
ness and a certain sense of
openness is absolutely nec-
come even the most non
confrontational tasks. We
all need to understand what these fee
l
ings mean,
where they come from, and how
to properly deal
with them.
With
this in mind, a student based menta
l
health
awareness group, called Active Minds, travels
nation wide to enlighten students at diffe
r
ent col
-
lege campuses. Their website states: "By planning
campus-wide events that promote awareness and
education, the group aims to remove the stigma
that surrourn;is mental illness and create a com-
fortable environment for open discussion of men-
tal health issues." Using st
i
rring slogans such
as
"Silence is Suffering", the intention to b
r
ing about
awareness and a shift in the way mental health is
dealt with is apparent.

BusinessWeek Magazine Names Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Among Top Five Places to Launch a Career
Recognition builds on company's strong rankings by
other
leading sources
-
Princeton Review, Collegegrad.com, and Diverse

Issues in Higher Education
ST
.
LOUIS, Oct. 31, 2006 -
Ready to graduate? Sure
.
Robe? Check
.
Course require-
ments? Check. Future? Uh oh.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
,
North America's largest rental car
company,
has again been list-
ed as one of the best places college graduates and young professionals can turn to for
a promising career
.
The company recently earned the No. 5 spot on BusinessWeek's
inaugural list of "Best Places to Launch a Career
.
"
·
BusinessWeek used three sources of data
-
a
survey
of career services directors, a sur
-
vey of employers, and a student survey conducted by Universum Communications
,
a
market-research firm based in Philadelphia - to develop its rankings
.
"It's a great honor to be on the BusinessWeek list and we thank everyone involved for
supporting our business and employees," said Marie Artim, assistant vice president,
recruiting at Enterprise
.
"We
especially appreciate the fact that career services direc-
tors surveyed ranked Enterprise as the No. 1 employer for entry-level workers
.
"
Enterprise, which hires about 7,000 college graduates a year, has a well-developed
management training program that teaches employees how to run their own business-
es. In fact, nearty 100 percent of Enterprise's current senior management - including the
president and CEO - sta{led as management trainees, learning the ins and outs of the
business.
Enterprise • BusinessWeek
The company's management training program enables employees who work in the
rental car offices to learn how to manage profit-and-loss statements
,
control expenses
and implement a comprehensive business plan
-
a sort of MBA
crash
course
.
Within
nine to 12 months
,
managers in training are typically eligible for promotion and get the
opportunity to run part of the rental branch business as if it were their own
,
including
sharing in the profits they help create.
"At Enterprise, we instill a fun, exciting atmosphere
,
where employees are in charge of
their careers and set their own pace for career growth
,"
Artim said.
"Because
we strong-
ly encourage a promote-from-within philosophy, as individuals learn, they move rapidly
into branch management positions and beyond
,
typically becoming branch managers
within two to three years."
Other recent recognition for Enterprise includes being named the No. 1 entry-level
employer by CollegeGrad.com, being featured in the 2007 Princeton Review book as a
best company for entry-level jobs, and the No. 1 spot on Diverse
:
Issues in Higher
Education's list of ''Top 30 National Firms Most Effective at Diversity Recruiting."
For students looking for an internship, Enterprise offers spots for more than 1,500
interns a year. Fortune.com named Enterprise one of the
"Five
Best Internships for Real
Work" during the summer of 2006. Interns at Enterprise are involved in all aspects of
running the business and are given the responsibilities of a full-lime employee.

'
'
How do you
incorpor
ate
humor
:into a serious
situation
that is far
;from
funny? And why
would
:you want to?
Comedian Dan
:Piraro asked himself these very
:
questions and provided the
answers to Marist students
;
Friday evening in the PAR.
I
Piraro, creator of the award-win-
!ning
syndicated newspaper car-
toon
Bizarro,
presented
"Cartoons,
Comedy,
and
,Compassion"
in an effort to shed
:light
on the
horrific abuses to
:
which
humans
subject animals.
The show was sponsored by
'
FoxP.A
.
W., Marist's own organi-
.za
tion
for animal welfare.
In
,
their endeavors to· aid and save
'
potential victims of factory farm-
:ing,
the president of FoxP.A. W.,
:
Robin Henderson, and
Piraro
:
met through the Woodstock
·
Farm Animal Sanctuary. Piraro
was asked to
speak
because he
shares the same vision as the
,
club.
The subject matter of the pres-
entation was indeed a serious
one. Every year in the United
States alone, billions of animals
are sent to
slaughter
hou
ses

fanning. The Woodstock Fann
Animal Sanctuary rehabilitates
the animals that
are
fortunate
enough to escape slaughter. At
the farm, "food-production ani-
mals" such as cows, pigs,
turkeys, and sheep
are
provided
shelter and a peaceful living
environment. The sanctuary pro-
motes the fair treatment of
ani-
mals by allowing peop
l
e to visit
with the creatures that could
have ended up on their plates.
This is the issue on which Piraro
focuses: vegetarianism/veganism
and understanding that anima
l
s
deserve equal respect as humans.
Piraro, however, eased the
crowd into this topic with his
humor. One of the cartoons he
projected summed up the attitude
and message of most of his show.
It
featured a pig
s
itting
in a
re
staurant
and asking the human
waiter, "Can
I
substitute the pork
chop for a fried chunk of your
left
buttock?"
Amusing?
Absolutely. Yet it
ha
s
a
strong
underlying message. This car-
toon, along with many of his oth-
ers,
stresses
how humans have a
tendency to treat others with dis-
respect, but if our actions are
turned around it is viewed as
simply
appalling.
One of
Pinuo's favorite quotes is
,
'"humans
aren't the only
species
on earth-we just act like it."
However, it wasn't until five
years ago that he actually
IYtl.llfMI
PartcerAve.Poughk
5-6771
reached this epiphany.
Before that time, Piraro was a
meat eater.
He joked that if
someone
had
then
told him that
he would become a vegan and
an
animal rights activist, he would
have
"covered
them
in
barbeque
sauce and eaten them."
Like
most people claim, he was com-
passionate for animals, in the
sense that cats and dogs deserved
the love and respect of
humans
.
But this feeling was not extended
to those animals that are used for
food consumption. Piraro fol-
lowed this hypocritical belief
until
he
became aware of factory
fanning and then visited an ani-
mal
sanctuary.
Seeing the res-
cued animals made him realize
that they were no different from
the animals we keep as house-
hold pets.
Disgusted
that
his
money was fueling such a cruel
trade,
Piraro
underwent
a
lifestyle change. Out went all
animal products from his diet
and in went abused foster
ani-
mals
to
his home.
This may
seem
like a severe
transfonnation,
but
Piraro
exp
lained
that its many benefits
and rewards make it more than
worthwhile. He
started
incorpo-
rating animal rights cartoons into
his usual
repertoire
,
using
a sar-
castic and incredibly
witty
tone
to
express
his opinions.
It
is
extremely
difficult for people to
be told that a lifestyle choice of

theirs is hypo-
critical, heart-
less,
and
unhealthy.
Because of this,
many are closed
off to the idea
of going vege-
tarian,
let
alone
vegan.
The
idea seems too
radical because
it so severely
conflicts with
what they have
b~n brought up
to
believe.
Therefore,
efforts to make
people aware of
these injustices
often go in one
ear and out the
other. After all,
isn't ignorance bliss?
Dan
Piraro, however,
s
hatt
ered
this
wall of ignorance and penetrated
into a new realm of understand~
ing
using
one the most persua-
sive
mediums: humor. He did
not berate people for eating
meat, but
he
did explain why it
would be beneficial
_to
alter their
actions.
"Peace
begins on your
pl
ate,"
declares
one drawing
.
If
we are
to become a more compassionate
society,
how can we allow these
injustices to animals continue?
Piraro concluded his presents-
COURTESY OF WWW.BIZARRO.COM
tion by urging the audience to
make their lives significant You
have the choice to make it more
than
simply "the

behind."
To
take a

direct of animal compassion is to
add worth to your life.

'Crazy'
for
MCCTA's fall musical
By
ALEXANDRIA BRIM
Staff Writer
The Marist
Co
ll
ege
Council on
Theatre Arts (MCCTA) will
stage
its
fall
mu
sical "Crazy
for
You" from Nov.
3-5.
All per-
formances will be held in the
Nelly Galetti theatre.
Junior Risa Pedzewick is the
assistant director for the show.
"It's good. It's better as
a
lot
of
high schoo
l
s produce this show,"
she said. "We're doing it pretty
professionally."
Matthew Wolfe, a sophomore,
plays lead character Bobby
Child.
"He's
from a rich family,
a banker," Wolfe says of his
character. "His mother has
been
grooming him to take over the
family business but all he wants
to do is dance. She sends him out
to Nevada to foreclose on a piece
of property, which happens to be
a
theatre
owned by a beautifuJ
girl."
This action sets the play into
motion
as
he
arrives
in
Dead.rock,
Nevada.
Bobby
decides to help
resurrect
the the-
atre by impersonating a famous
producer. "It all blows up in his
face," Wolfe says. Bobby falls in
love with Polly, who doesn't
return it when she finds out
Bobby is the banker who will
close the theatre. Bobby tries to
win her heart as the town puts on
the show to save the theatre. Will
Bobby succeed in winning Polly
and will the show change
Deadrock's luck?
"Crazy
for Y~u" features songs
from Ira and George Gershwin
as well as a book by Ken
Ludwig. The
show
was inspired
by
an
earlier one by
Guy
Bolton
and Jack McGowan called
"Girl
Crazy,"
which opened in I 930.
The revised
show
by Ludwig
opened
in 1992
and won the
Tony Award for Best New
Musical that year. The musical
contains on of the Gershwins'
best known songs,
"I
Got
Rhythm."
The show is directed by Tom
Berger with George Croom as
musical
director.
The same pair
also worked on last year's pro-
duction of "The Rocky Horror
Show," which had a
sold-out
performance.
Junior
Mark
Heftier is producing the musical.
MattAngrisani, a junior, is part
of the ensemble for this show.
"I've
been
in MCCTA every year
since
I
came here," he said. 'The
musical is always the big pro-
duction and
it
is great to be a part
of one of the more
special
moments at Mari st."
''The
cast is so tight," Wolfe
added.
"I
am
a transfer student
and they made me feel we
l
come.
It's
an amazing cast and an
amazing show."
The musical continues
MCCTA's fall season which will
later perfonn the Experimental
Theatre Guild production of
"The Long Christmas Ride
Home" and the HuMarist Big
Show. Next semester, the organi-
zation
features
William
Shakespeare's "The Taming of
the Shrew" as well as the
Children Theatre
mounting
of
"Puss in Boots." The annual fes-
tival of one-act plays and staging
of "The Vagina Monologues"
will also occur next semester.
MCCTA is a student-nm organi-
zation that allows students from
all majors to work on different
aspects of theatre. These range
from to directing to backstage
(such
as props or costumes) to
designing on the different
shows.

Time flies for Mari st seniors
Talk
of
future graduation festivities stirs excitement
By ANDREW GOSS
Circle Contributor
The Class of 2007 is in the
process of finishing their last
year in Poughkeepsie while
keeping an
eye
towards their
futures.
Senior
class president
Mary
Cornetta
has
been
far too
busy
to even
worry
about
what
life
in
the
"real world"
will be
like.
"My
senior
year
has
been great
so
far,
but also
stressfu
l
," she
said.
"I'm finishing up the last
of
my
courses
which
in
cludes cap-
ping and
that's
proving to
be
harder than I thought
,
but I
know
it
will
be worth
it in
the
end and
everything else
is
going smooth-
ly.'
Senior act
ivi
ties
are
already
in
the
process of
being planned
.
The
2
1
Society's event
is tenta-
tively
scheduled for
the
Saturday
before
Thanksgiving
break,
November
18.
It
will
include
wine
tasting
from around
the
world.
In
addition, Setiior Day
for members
of
the
Mari.st
band
will
take
place November 11 at
the final home football
game.
Senior week, even
though it is
in
May. is also already
in the
plan-
ning
stages.
The majority
of
the
senior activities, in fact, are
expected to take
place during the
spring.
As
the
end of
the month
approaches, seniors should
be
aware
of November 27 when
undergraduate
graduation appli-
cations for
the May
2007
Commencement Ceremony
arc
due. Marist
College's 60th
Commencement Ceremony is
sc
h
eduled
for
Saturday, May 20
on
the
Campus Green at
11
:00
a.m. Soon
after that
day,
many
of
the new
Marist alumni
will
ven-
ture out
into the
real world.
Senior Mark
Perugini,
who is a
member
of Lambda Pi Eta and
the
section
l
eader of the Marist
band
drum
lin
e, isn't
scared.
"Honestly,
I
am
not
nervous
abo
ut
the
real
wo
rl
d," he said.
"Yeah,
it
is scary
to know that
you
have to
be fully responsible.
But
one of the
most
important
people in my
life
once told me
that
you
have to
live life one day
at a time, and by doing this, you
will learn
more
about yourself
and you will become
more
of
an
ind
i
vidua
l.
You can only
plan
out
your
future to
a certain extent.
The
best thing is
to live life to
the
fullest and
unders1and
your
passion
for living. Once you
understand your
passion
for liv-
ing, then
you will
not
only piece
together your
life
but you will
also find success."
Maryellen Conway, the
P
r
esident of
the
Student Body, is

she said.

by

In January
2007,
I will hopefully be

Later on, I would
love
to go
to
Col

or
Fordham
U
ni
versity
to
get
a PhD
in
school administralion."
Lives of
the
senior students
who wiU graduate
in
May will
take many different paths after-
wards but
nearly
all agree
that
the one four-year experience that
brought all of
their lives
together
was a
memorable
one.
Perugini
holds his time
at Marist in
high
regard.
"Marist
has
been the best expe-
rience of my
life,"
he said.
"It
has
opened my eyes
to
what
is
truly
beautiful in
life.
I
will miss
hang-
ing out with
the
guys and my fra-
ternity brothers until the early
morning
.
I
will miss sleeping
in
late
and starting my day at two
in
the afternoon. I will
miss the
philosophica
l
and social
talks
with
my
friends about
life,
the
future,
and
of course, the mys-
tery of
understanding
the oppo-
site sex. Most importantly,
I
will
miss the freedom, the freedom of
helping
out people at all hours of
the
day and the freedom of my
young adulthood.
1t
is
going
to
be
hard
knowing
that
I will
be
l
eaving my utopia and temporar-
ily departing from the people I
love. Marist will always
be
home, and
I will
absolutely miss
the people who have helped me
find
my
self."

Seniors make good on senior day, beat Siena in finale
By GREG HRINYA
Staff
Writer
The Marist Red Foxes capped
off its season in dramatic fashion
as they beat MAAC rival Siena
I
-0
in
overtime on Friday night.
In a game that saw six seniors
finishing their athletic careers
here at Marist, the Red Foxes
willed their way past the second
seeded team in the MAAC.
Marist and Siena played to a
90-minute stalemate that saw
neither
team
score a goal, but in
the 96th minute, Red Fox senior,
Lauren
Dziedzic, buried the
game-winner for her first career
goal.
Dziedzic
capitalized on a mis-
ta1ce by Siena goalkeeper Patti
Carroll where she misplayed a
ball in front of her own net.
Marist coach Elizabeth Roper
said the team wanted to chal-
lenge Siena in the box because
they believed they could cash
in
on a
mistake
similar to the one
that won the game.
.. Their goalie
looked
a little
shaky and we talked at halftime
about trying to Put some pressure
on her," Roper said ...
The goalie
bobbled several balls and we
made the effort to challenge her
inside the
I
8
,
and Lauren
Dziedzic
took advantage of an
opportunity."
For Marist, goalkeepers Anna
Case and Caitlin Nazarechuk
combined for a five-save shutout
to cap a season in which both
goalkeepers were plagued by
injuries.
"We were unlucky because
both
of our keepers battled
injuries all season long," Roper
said. "We were also inconsistent
defensively which was surpris-
ing since we were so good defen-
sively
last
year, but we improved
offensively this season. Our goal
is to get more of a balance from
here
on out."
The win for Marist was a satis-
fying end to a frustrating season
where the Red Foxes had a
chance to win in almost every
game. It was even more fulfill-
ing that the team couJd give
its
six
s
eniors a proper send-off on
senior night.
"It
was a great testimony to the
s
e
niors
,
and we felt going in that
we could beat a very good Siena
team," Roper said. "We started
and finished the game with all
six seniors on the field
,
and they
played as a cohesive unit and
everyone contributed."
Despite losing some imponant
members of the team, the Red
Foxes will build on some key
players to carry this momentum
into next season.
"We have some players
like
Ashley Chase
,
Maria Baez,
Melanie Ondrejik
,
and Keri
Koegel returning who were
instrumental in shutting down
our opponents' best players,"
Roper said. "We have a strong
core returning. and we hope to
build on this in the off-season.
We showed a lot of motivation
and fight this year, and we want
to have that carry over."
The Red Foxes ended a frus-
trating season that saw Marist
finish at 5-12-l and 3-5-1 in the
MAAC.
"The season was frustrating
more than it waS disappointing
because we played very well
,
"
Roper said.
"We consistently
played four to five freshmen, and
that allowed them to gain some
good experience for their future
here at Mari st."

Red Fox offensive triumphs over downpour and Peacocks
By
BRIAN LOEW
Staff
Writer
Wind and rain could not stifle a
spectacular offensive perform-
ance with a dominating show
by
junior running back Adam
Hansen as he helped to carry the
Marist Red Foxes to a 35-18 vic-
tory against the St. Peter's
Peacocks on Saturday evening at
Leonidofffield.
Hansen tied a Marist school
record for touchdowns in a single
game with four, helping Marist
record its highest yard-produc-
tion game of the year
with
406
offensive yards. The Red Foxes
improved to 3-6 overall and 2-1
in the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference (MAAC). St. Peter's
fell to 1-7 overall and 0-2 in the
MAAC.
The Marist special teams unit
wasted no time in setting the
tone
for the game. On the opening
kickoff, the Peacocks were only
able to return the ball to the 14-
yard
line
before freshmen O
'
Neil
Anderson caused a fumble that
was
recovered
by senior Dan
Peckham
.
The Marist offense capitalized
on the turnover as Hansen's first
of four touchdowns came at the
12: 14 mark in the first quarter
with a I-yard plunge, putting
Marist on top Nl

Seven more points would come
for the Red Fbxes j\lSt before the
end of the quarter. With

49-yard drive that began with an
interception by sophomore Paul
Rabito, making it 14-0 Marist.
Shortly into the second quarter,
St. Peter's quarterback Scott
Bonnono capped off a 70-yard
march down the field with a
l
0-
yard floater to Jaleel Kindell
with 12:32 remaining in the half.
After a blocked extra-point kick,
the Peacocks trailed Marist 14-6.

Marist answered back with
an

Hansen's third I-yard touchdown
run
at 8:42 left in the half, cush-
ioning Marist's lead 21-6.
On St. Peters' next drive with
5:39 remaining in the half,
Bonnono found Kindell once
more for a 12-yard touchdown
pass cutting Marist's
lead
to
nine. A failed two-point con¥er-
sion pass by Bonnono made the
score 21-12 in favor of Marist.
Just before the end of the half,
Hansen added his fourth score of
the game with a 2-yard rush with
2:39 left on the clock. Junior
kicker Bradley Rowe's extra
point sailed through the uprights
making the score 28-12 Marist at
!he half.
With 4:19 left in the third quar-
ter, Marist drove in for its final
touchdown of the game. Senior
running back Frankie Farrington
dove in for a 3-yard touchdown
run making it 35-12

Farrington's score capped off an

quarterback Steve McGrath to
senior wide receiver Prince

day completing 13 passes for 265
yards through the air.
Bonnono and the Peacocks

Head Coach Jim Parady said that
the week's focus on fundamen-
tals made all the difference.
"Going into the game we went
back to the fundamentals and the
real basics and concentrated on
those, and I
think
that paid off for
us," Parady said. "We executed
our game plan well and we won
our individual match-ups, and
that is something that in the last
few weeks we've had trouble
doing."
Hansen agreed with the coach
saying that the offense worked
very well together as a unit to get
lhc
viciory.
"Offensively we had great
blocking from the offensive
line," Hansen said. "People real-
ly stepped it up and made some
great plays that got us down on
the goal line numerous ·times.
From there
I
was just able to
punch it in and get us on the
scoreboard."
Hansen said that coming out
with the win was the result -of a
great overall team effort that
never gave up.
"As
a team, everyone just kept
pushing, and we were able to get
the job done."
Although the offense was dom-
inating, Coach Parady said that
the Marist defense also played a
key role in Saturday's victory.
Although they gave up 417 yards
to the Peacock's offense, keeping
the Peacocks out of the end zone
was crucial.
"Even
though
we bent
.
a little
bit, we did not break," Parady
said. "We had two great goal line
stands that changed the course of
the game, We stood up when it
was time to down in the red zone,
and
I
think that those were two
key points in the game. The big
thing was that we kept them off
the scoreboard."

Fairfield snaps Marist's four-game
win
streak, Foxes fall to 6-8 in MAAC play
By

Staff Writer
Strength is a word that' can be
used to describe many things.
Using it to describe Fairfield's vol-
leyball team could be deemed suf-
ficient.
The Fairfield Stags came
to
the
McCann Center Saturday with a
vengeance to get their 13th straight
win and stay undefeated in the
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC). They got it in convinc-
ing fashion beating Marist in three
straight sets.
In the first game, Fairfield never
relinquished
the lead
having
runs
of six and eight points. They would
go on to win 30-13.
Early in game two, Marist took a
1-0
lead
on a kill by Sally Hanson.
The Stags however would tie it at
one point apiece and never look
back. They went on runs of six and
five points and would win the
out of posi1ion.
Coach Hanna
believed it was the play of Fairfield
that made it appear that way.
"They were exploiting spots," he
said.
The Red Foxes put together a
strong come back and went on their
first real run of the day with six
straight points and took the lead
11-8 before Fairfield head coach
Jeff Wemeke called a timeout.
After the timeout, Fairfield came
out and went on an eight-point run
to take the lead 17-11.
Marist
fought well throughout the game
but fell by a score of 30-24.
One key stat
the
Red Foxes could
blame for their demise was the 19
unforced hitting errors they had
throughout the match.
Coach
Hanna felt the offense was lacking
all day.
"Our blocking assignment was
OK, our passing went well, but
it
was our offense that just didn't do
well today," he said.
"We also had the 19

inside and outside, of the game.
"They're a huge part of the
game," he said. "Whether it's a
streak inside the match or whatev-
er
amount of games you've won
beforehand, it gives you nice
momentum."
Fairfield has not lost a game
since September

and is now on
a 13-game winning streak. They
beat the Iona Gaels 3-0 last
Thursday. The Stags are so hot
right now they have not lost a sin-

game they lost was against Siena,
but they eventually won the match

overall.

but knows Georgetown will be a
tough opponent.
"I think the guys have confi-

tory, and I know that we want to
make sure that we're focusing on
this game," Parady said. "We
know that Georgetown has
played a tough schedule, and that
they've played a lot of close
games, so we know it's going to
be
a good challenge for us down
there."
