Democratic candidates come out on top
Clinton elected to second term

After winning
the
2006
Senatorial
election,
Hillary
Clinton appears to risk minimiz-
ing her responsibilities to New
York state by possibility running
for president in 2008.
Clinton's campaign was riddled
with rumors surrounding the
chance she
-might
run for presi-
dent. Although Clinton maintains
she is undecided about her 2008
presidential candidacy, a presi-
dential campaign could affect her
abilities to carry out senatorial
duties.
Sean Carroll, executive direc-
tor of John Spencer's campaign,
said in order to allow the public
to make an informed decision,
Clinton should have made her
intentions clear. Carroll said that
her prospective presidential aspi-
rations will hinder her ability to
represent New York state.
"Running for president is a full
time job," said
Carroll.
"Either
run for president or commit to
serving
as senator."
Repeated attempts to contact a
representative
from Clinton's
campaign
were unsuccessful;
however Clinton said in a
September, 2006 press release
that she is unsure whether or not
she will run for president.
"I
can't make a decision
now," she s~id. "But if that con-
cerns any voter, they should fac-

The Republican Party's aban-

New York State gubernatorial
race, according to some.
Faso was chosen to
represent

cent of the vote cast in favor of
endorsing him. However, State

Cuomo beats Pirro
By

Jeanine Pirro may have come
away with a bruised ego and
allegations of wiretapping and
fraud after a vicious and unsuc-
cessful election campaign.
In a devastating defeat Andrew
Cuomo took the victory against
Pirro in the race for New York
Attorney General. Democratic

candidate Cuomo, the son of for-
mer New York Governor Mario
M. Cuomo, was the Secretary of
Housing
and
Urban
Development under President
Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001.
Republican candidate Pirro, was
the first female Westchester
County judge, serving for twelve
years before being elected the
first female District Attorney of
the county in 1993.
Pirro is under federal investiga-
tion for
plotting
to wiretap her
husband, Albert Pirro, whom she
believed was having an affair.
Jeanine Pirro 's financial-disclo-
sure records from her tenure as
Westchester District Attorney are
also under investigation.
Exactly how the allegations
impacted Pirro's standing in the
race will never be known, but
according to the Poughkeepsie
Journal, other political figures
like Gov. George Pataki said that
she deserved a prompt resolu-
tion.

Election 2006: New Yorkers get out the vote
Hevesi, amidst scandal, defeats Callaghan to keep comptroller's office
I
By
MICHAEL PEHEL,
TIANA STEWARD and
SOLOMON PICOU
Circle Contributors
Despite
ethical scandals
State
Comptroller
Alan
Hevesi, Democrat, proved to
l
be
a
durable
candidate in New
York
State.
New York State Comptroller
Alan Hevesi
has
been
involved
in a series of three scandals from
Sept. 28, 2006 to Oct. i2, 2006.
Opposition
Christopher
Callaghan had done nothing to
downplay
the allegations, but
insist
·
that his own capabilities
l
should be
the
focus for voters.
Alan Hevesi is the first person
_
From Page One
elected as New York City
Comptroller (1994-2002) and
left when his
tenn
was over. As
State Comptroller,
Hevesi
served
as
the
state's Chief Fiscal
Officer
and as head of the State
Department
of Audit
and
Control. Hevesi signed state
checks, handled state bookkeep-
ing, conducted audits of state and
local finances, issued economic
forecasts, and served as the sole
trustee of the state pension sys-
tem and with that Hevesi is
important in the investment com-
munity, based on the value of
New York State's investment
portfolio.
Questions have arisen concern-
ing Hevesi's competence as State
Comptroller
.
The state ethics
commission announced that
there was reason to
believe
that
Hevesi
had
used the state funds
to chauffer his wife. In a move to
quell the
political
backlash, he
has promised to reimburse the
state $82,688 to compensate for
the personal use of state funds
.
Republican Candidate
Christopher
Callaghan
is
a new-
comer who is quickly proving his
worth
in the
political forum.
With the
downfall
of Hevesi's
once
overwhelming public sup-
port Callaghan was closer than
ever to winning the race.
Outside of proven faults
,
Callaghan has been questioning
Hevesi's use of
campaign
contri-
butions from

large fees by doing business for

tor that into the vote they make."
Carroll said that previous
presidential candidates who
ran
4
during their Senate tenns failed
to adequately
serve
the
public.
"John Kerry
missed 448
Senate
votes
when
he
ran
for
"
_president/' he
said. "Can [New
~~
'\'or~
_.'.
s~ate] really·
afford
a
Senator
who

miss that many
~
votes?"
•
Clinton's possible ambition to
become president has not gone
unnoticed by the public.
Rocky Lockwood, a
Poughkeepsie resident and
con-
venience store
employee, said
i~
that Clinton's potential presiden-
tial candidacy could positively
affect her senate
carnpaign.
"It's not a bad idea,
she
might
actually
be
better than
most
can-
didates,"
said Lockwood.
"She'd
probably be more likely to
win
[the] Senate because we know
she would do more in [the]
Senate to impress others to help
her running for president."
Additionally, Robert Miller, a
resident
of Pawling,
NY,
said
that Clinton's
potential
2008
c~mpaign
may
even
aid her term
in
the
Senate.
-i:
think that her
focus
on
becoming a president will make
her step it up a notch as
senator,"

"If

have to do a
great
job as [a] New York
Senator to

However,
Christopher Torres,
a
Marist
College
junior, said that if
Clinton
runs
for
presidency,
it
would distract
her from
her sena-
torial
duties.
"She can't
focus on her job in
'
the Senate
if she's going to
be
eyeing the presidency the whole
time," said Torres.
"She's
not a
New Yorker- she's just using us
as a
stepping-stone
to become

"
Similarly, Marc Sausa,
19, a resident of Queens,
NY,
said that
Clinton should have
made her intentions known
to
the
public before
running
for
any
office.
"I
think
she should
have made
her plans perfectly
clear to
everyone
because
if
she does
plan on running in
2008 she
should've said
that instead
of
beating around the
bush," said
Sausa.
"It
seems she didn't
say
anything because
she
was
afraid
that
people
wouldn't have voted
for her

they
didn't
want
her
to

unnamed venture-capital invest-
ment chief executive, who has
contributed to Hevesi
's
cam-
paign, has been at the forefront
of Callaghan's questioning.
Hevesi has disclaimed the misap-
propriated use of campaign con-
tributions and has been described
by his aides as living by the cur-
rent rules.

Hevesi was

polls
by 40 percent
now after recent events have
come to
light
he
is
at a mere 14
percent ahead of
Callaghan
despite both of
them
dropping in
the Quinnipiac polls
According to a
recent
Marist
College
poll, 61 percent of
the
voter's feel that Governor Pa
t
aki
has no say in what
is
going on
with Hevesi, and the other 30
percent feel the governor should
act upon and make Hevesi
resign; overall,
58
percent
feel
Hevesi should
resign.

Marist college student Paul
Santavicca said
that he did not
believe the GOP abandoned

Santavicca said. "I'm
not

to

but
I think if he was

enough for
the
position
he would have had

After many attempts, Susan
Del
Percio, the
spokeswoman for
John
Faso, said she was unable
to
comment on either
the
GOP's
abandonment
or
Minarik's
remarks
'
at
this time.
The Democratic
contender,
Eliot Spitzer, was ahead of Faso
in
the
polls early on.
As of
Oct.
8,
Faso was
50
points behind. In
a
WNBC
interview, Faso said
that he
was
making
a small
impression on voters because
Spitzer was
not
willing to
debate
him in New

Faso
had
not
been
working
on
his own publicity as
much
as
he
could have been. He spent much
of
his
campaign attacking Alan
Hevesi,
the
State Comptroller
who was accused by the ethics
commission of having a state
employee drive
his
wife. This
proved very effective, leaving
Hevesi engulfed in his scandal
throughout
the
past few weeks,
but it
has
not done anything
to
hide Faso
from the
media.
A
political
attack ad endorsed
by Faso was released
in
late Oct.
attacking Spitzer for continuing
to support Hevesi.
Possibly
in
response
to
this ad, Spitzer
stopped endorsing Hevesi short-
ly after.
A Marist College poll that
-delivered its results on Nov.
1
still showed that Spitzer was
ahead 69 percent to Faso's 24
percent. Similarly, a Quinnipiac
University poll showed Spitzer
leading 7
1-
22
percent over Faso.
On
Nov. 6, Gov. George Pataki
said
that
he wanted Republicans
to vote with force just as they
had when
he

for office
.

i
ers.
Some
lik
e Bruce
Luske,
PhD,
socio
l
ogy, believe
that
a
candidate's
private
affairs shou
ld
not be considered relevant.
"A
political
figure's
private
life
ought to
be
of little public con-
cern overall,"
said Luske.
"For
example, issues involving sex
between mutually consenting
adults
ought to be
off
limits.
Only
past
actions
that have been
proven empirically to
be illegal
or
clearly
demonstrated
to be
cruel
or
degrading
to other peo-
ple and
animals
(not
just rumors
or hearsay
of same) should
be
admissible in public
debate
as
potential negative impacts
on
his/her
career.
I
also suppose
that
all
proven
private positive acts of
charity, etc. ought to
be
admissi-
ble.
Everythi
n
g else
ought
to
be
off limits."
If
a
ll
egations

candi-
dates are
connected
to illegal
activity
Lauren Woodruff,
a sen-
ior at St.
Rose
College, Albany
said
that
the
public
has the
right
to
know.
"Well
I think that their
private
life
as far as crimina
l
records go
should be
looked
into,
but
as far
as family
life
etc,
no
way," said
Woodruff.
This
means
that if Pirro was
found guilty of wiretapping, the
people
would have the
right to
know before voting
her
into
office. Christopher Tozzi
,
a his-
tory
major at Cornell University,
said that private and public
life
need
to be separate in order to
ensure fairness.
"I
don't think
a candidate's pri-
vate affairs should
have
any
impact
on
his public
life, since
public
and private life should, I
think, be separated in all cases,"
said Tozzi. "Separation of public
and private
life,
after all, is one
of the Enlightenment ideas upon
which modem societies are sup•
posed to be based.
If
public and
private lives are allowed to mix,
it
makes it
easier for
the
state to
interfere in highly personal
affairs
like
religion, and I think
everyone agrees
that
that's not
appropriate."
Tozzi also makes reference to
how the
private
lives
of politi-
cians are
not
likely
to
impact
how
they can perform politically.
"It should also be obvious
enough that what goes on in a
politician's
home
and any per-
sonal problems he might
have
would ordinarily
not
impact his
ability to
do
his job anymore
than private problems would
impair the professional life of a
plumber, for instance," said
Tozzi.
"
Moreov
er,
moral
codes
like the one Pirro is accused of
violating are arbitrary, so it does-
n't matter if
she's done some-
thing in her
home
that violates
social nonns, even if that were
the appropriate concern of
indi-
viduals outside her home."
Shannon Roper, PhD,
communication
arts, said that the
use of private information
between
competitors
should be
allowed as long as
it
does not
obstruct the
candidates
ability to
perfonn in office.
.
"As
long as it doesn't
interfere with their job," said
Roper.
"Then it's
fine."

Dyke's
•
Communications capping class
has
come
up with to promote
IBM's
ph
ilan
thropic
project,
World
Community Grid.
The
students
in Van
Dyke's sec-
tion
of capping
hav
e
been charged
with the
task of using their com-
munication
skills to
incr
ease
the
amount
of
devices
(computers)
that
are
runnin
g
on
the
Grid and
promote
awareness of the project
...
among the
Mari
st
community.
Although
the
class is divided into
four teams,
.
they are working
together to try and achieve their
goa
ls.
Students
have
also
met
with
Catharine Collins, of IBM media
relations, and Sheila Appel, IBM
Corporate
Comm
unity Relations
Manager, to discuss ideas and
receive feedback about their
plans.
"We believe
that
students are
gaining important skills by
work
-
ing with
IBM and
are
h
opefu
l
that
these skills will transfer to their
first jobs after graduation," said
Appel. "We [also] hope to see par-
ticipation in
World
Community
Grid
in
c
reas
e
dramatically."
World
Community
Grid was
launched in 2004 by IBM and
was
endorsed by
Marist
College and
President Dennis Murray. It func-
tions by
taking the
idle power of
computers and putting it towards
calculations which contribute to
m
edica
l
and scientific research.
Among the projects benefiting
from
World
Community Grid con-
tributions are AIDS and cancer
research.
Much
of
this
infonnation
may
sound familiar to Marist students.
That
is because World
Commun
ity
Grid runs when most of the
school's public-use computers go
to a screen saver. Currently, some
Mari
st
computers are running the
"Fight AIDS
@
Home" project.
Professor Van Dyke sees this
capping project as unique in that
students
get
the opportunity to
work hands on with a major
worldwide organization.
''This project is the perfect
opportunity for students and
organizations outside Marist to
work together," said Van Dyke
.
"First, students
enjoy
working on
r
ea
l-world
projects that have such
humanitarian appeal.
Second,
organizations like IBM can benefit
from the problem
solving
abilities
of bright, young students."
Students have been
challenged
by Van Dyke and IBM to "think
outside the box" when trying to
reach people and
get
them
to sign
up for the Grid .
.
The students have
responded to the challenge by
coming up with a multitude of
ideas.
Senior Vickie Gettler is a mem
-
ber of one team which has planned
to shoot a television
commercial,
hand out fliers and promotional
items at Marist basketball games,
and run an
"Internet Cafe"
on
campus where students can bring
their laptops, sign
up
and receive a
free cup of
coffee
as incentive.
"As a class, we're trying to find
creative ways to connect with our
audiences
:
Marist
students,
faculty
and staff and the
local
communi-
ty," said Gettler.
"We
hope our
efforts turn
into positive
results for
this
great
cause."
Students from the class have
gone door-to-door in freshman
residence halls and
even
spoken to
local high schools to try and
get
them to join the
Grid.
One group has also planned a tal-
ent show to
try
and spread the
word about World
Community
Grid. There will be free food at
this event which will take place

Broken leg blues for
By
ALISON BOYLE
Staff Writer
Let's face it; for many, college is
a huge transition from the simple
pleasures of home. For the most
part, Marist does a pretty good
job at creating an environment
that is not a carbon copy of
home, but rather, a unique,
mature, and yet still warm and
hospitable atmosphere. The cafe-
teria food, although not mom's
famous chicken parm, fits fine
for most, the dorm rooms are
exceptionally nice, the scenery is
simply breathtaking, the
entertainment brought here is
remarkably
up-to-date
and
engaging, the cabaret is the
answer to any of life's late night
cravings, and the teachers are
some of the most down to earth,
easy to get along with people.
What about injured students
though? Getting hurt or sick
while away from hofne can be
one of the most frightening expe-
riences. Students must somehow
balance recovering, with main-
taining work standards and get-
ting themselves to class every-
day. What does Marist do to help
its students, and what improve-
ments could be made to the sys-
tem?
My roommate here at Marist,
Kate Fox, is a freshman on the
woman's soccer team, and is one
of-th'e
most
active individuals
I
By ALEXANDER TINGEY
Health Editor
have ever met. She somehow
ends up being able to make it
from practice, to class, meetings
and back for homework.
I
also
know what her life became like
here at school when she broke
her leg. The simplest things such
as howering, walking to the cafe,
or making it to class on time,
became nearly impossible for
her. Kate says
"I
have to leave at
7:15 a.m. 'to "crutch" myself
from Charnpagnat to Fontaine in
time for an
8
a.m. class." Most of
us know the extreme pain of hav-
ing to wake up
5
minutes before
a morning class, let alone having
to wake up
45
minutes
before hand.
So what can Marist College do
to help its students in situations
like Kate's? Health Services on
the Marist
.
website lists its pur-
pose as "to foster and maintain
the good health of Marist
College students through preven-
tative measures, education, and
treatment of illnesses, injuries
and emotional problems." The
keyword in there is preventative,
which is exactly what the staff in
Health Services, does extremely
well.
I
have seen first hand that
Health Services is very helpful in
trying to determine what is
wrong with you, and if
they
can
not, never hesitates to send you
to St. Francis for further help.
But after the student is diagnosed
and bandaged up, there seems to
be
Vt:TY
little that Health Services
can do for a student. A member
of the staff in Health Services
says that there are wheel chairs
that can be rented out, but only a
limited number of them. So for
people like Kate, when a wheel-
chair is already rented out,
options begin to run dry. Health
Services advises your next best
bet would be to go across the
street to a surgical supply center
and rent whatever you need. You
can try "Alamo Med
i
cal and
Surgical Supply Co." located
right on North Road but, unfor-
tunately that is going to cost
money coming right out of your
own pocket.
My roommate's next thought
was to contact Security on cam-
pus for some help in getting to
class. Sorry to say there really is
not much Security could do for
her either. Like my roommate,
you might find it ridiculous that
security trucks can pick up a stu-
dent who can walk to their dorm,
but can't pick up a student on
crutches. There is a reason for
this though. When
I
spoke with
1
the head of Security, John
Gildard, he informed me that
they are legally not allowed to
transport any injured students
because of insurance.
If
a
student worsens his/her injury
while getting in or out of the
security truck, the school is
liable for that. So what can you
do in order to make you morning
commute to class easier?

buildings, you need to travel out-
side of Marist for help as well.
If
you have a serious injury that is
going to last for an extended
period of time, you can apply to
your individual state for a handi-
cap permit.
Mr. Gildard says
that Marist will ne\ler ticket any-
one who has a handicap permit,
regardless of where he/she parks
.
One office at Marist that can
actually aid injured students is
The Center
for Academic
Advising.
If
a student is hurt, and
will be absent for a prolonged
period
of time, like
my
room-
mate, all that is needed is a med-
ical letter informing the school
of your ordeal, and your teachers
will instantly be notified. The
center will even give a student
their teacher's e-mail addresses
in order to establish contact if
you can't make it to class, either
because of your injury or if you
need to return home for more
help and are in need of the work.
Marist College is known for
being one of the best places to
get a higher education from its
students, alumni, and faculty
alike. That is not to say that the
college should not continually be
trymg
to improve. Injured stu-
dents here at Marist can always
be found, and when away from
the comfort of home, need to be
given every opportunity possible
to be able to function daily.
Hopefully, in the months to
come, the college will realize the
growing number of hurt stu-
dents, and begin to initiate new
programs of service for them ( or
at least some new wheel~hairs!)
In
the meantime, take full advan-
tage of what you can here on
campus and around it, and try not
to become one of the many that
have fallen prey to injury this
year

A
night
with
·the
stars
at
the mtvU Woodie Awards
By
ANDREW OVERTON
Staff Writer
The "mtvU Woodie Awards"
are the only awards voted on
exclusively by college students.
The Woodies recognize the
artists that college students are
listening to, and usually lead to
mainstream success for many
artists. Past Woodie winners
include Fall Out Boy, Death Cab
for Cutie, and The Kille.rs.
On Oct. 25 the 2006 mtvU
Woodie Awards were held at the
Roseland Ballroom in New York
City right between Broadway
and 8th Ave. With performances
from Beck, Gym Class Heroes,
Delonge said. "We're quality and
epic."
David Kennedy, Angels &
Airwaves other guitarist, offered
a much simpler explanation: "We
use delay pedals."
"The main difference about
Angels & Airwaves was that
when we created the band all of
us needed to make music that
made us feel like we were leav-
ing our past lives behind,"
Delonge, formerly of blink-182,
said. "The
·
band has a message
and a reason for its existence,
rather than just trying to get girls
and make money."
Delonge has grown up since
the light-hearted, punky days of
Above, Beck perfonns at the mtvU Woodle Awards.
TV on the Radio, and Imogen
Heap, along with a star-studded
guest list, the show was sure to
not disappoint.
The guest list included Katt
Williams, Plain White T's, Lupe
Fiasco, Ghostface Killah, Lady
Sovereign, 30 Seconds to Mars,
Angels & Airwaves, Feist, Cage,
Atmosphere,
MURS,
The
Academy Is ... , Gogol Bordello,
The Subways, and Nightmare of
You.
As the artists arrived they were
greeted on the red carpet by VH l
and Vibe magazine, but most
notably by eleven college jo\1).\,-
nalists from across the country.
The artists were more than will-
ing to talk about everything from
the Woodies to their sex lives
and everything in between.
The nominees for Woodie of
the Year included Gym Class
Heroes, Panic! At the Disco,
Angels
&
Airwaves,
The
Academy Is ... , and Atmosphere.
Tom Delonge, the lead guitar
and
·
vocals
of Angels &
Airwaves, was not too shy to
share how his band separates
themselves from the rest of the
Woodie nominees.
"We're fuckin' awesome,"
blink-182 and this musical matu-
rity has paid off - Angels &
Airwaves debut album "We
Don't Need To Whisper" sol d
over 100,000 copies in the U.S.
it's first week.
"We made a record that spoke
to us in a very optimistic, epic
kind
of
way,"
Delonge
explained. "We really are trying
to be a part of a movement with
a bunch of different people that
want to be involved, that look at
the world differently, and feel
different in that world as well."
When plans for "We Don't
Need To Whisper" were first
announced, so were plans for a
corresponding
film.
Consequently, there have been
countless rumors floating around
concerning the film. Delonge
cleared up most of the rumors.
"We're working on two differ-
ent films. One is basically the
inception
of
Angels
&
Airwaves," Delonge said. "It's
got C.GI., performance footage,
documentary, and in-the-studio
footage."
Delonge refused to reveal any-
thing about the second film
except that it's "a fictional story-
line about the guy in the artwork
with the umbrella," referring to
the picture in the album insert.
In concert Angels
&
Airwaves
have unveiled a new eight and a
half minute long song fully
loaded with three different
movements.
"We wrote a song that's called
'The Star of Bethlehem, and it's
about Christmas ... but
J.t
is more
about the idea of coming over a
mountain, seeing a star in the
sky, and hoping to God that you
can bring something to offer, but
it can offer you so much more,"
Delonge explained. "It had the
ability to lift you off the ground a
little bit and make you feel like
you're flying. And it worked."
Fellow Woodie of the Year
nominee, Gym Class Heroes,
have ridden the success of their
most recent album "Cruel As
School Children" straight to the
Woodies. Their Woodie of the
Year nomination topped a very
successful year in which the
Gym
Class Heroes have become
a household name in music.
Although lead singer Travis
McCoy claims that "Cruel As
School Children" is not a con-
cept record, "it's definitely cohe-
sive with an overall theme of
adolescent
debauchery."
The Gym Class Heroes are
very unique in that McCoy raps
while the rest of the band play
live. instcwnents. The reason
tm
sound so different, McCoy
claims, was largely impacted by
the relatively weak music scene
in Geneva and Syracuse, New
York where the band was
formed.
"In particulai; areas where there
is a thriving music scene a lot of
the bands that come out of the
area soun9 the same, but we did
not have that privilege because
there was nothing where we
where at," McCoy said. "There's
never been a place for us to fit
in."
"So we created a place,"
Drummer Matt McGinley added.
The Academy Is... was also
hoping that by the end of the
night they could take home the
Woodie of the Year.
Adam Siska, the Academy Is ...
bassist was very blunt,
11
1 want to
get a Woodie tonight, no pun
intended."
Currently, The Academy Is ... is
excited to begin recording their
new album. Siska expects their
new tracks to bring some more
Woodie nominations.
"All that we're focused on, and
all that we're thinking about is
making the best record that we
can for each other and for who-
ever will listen to it," frontman
William Beckett said. "The more
people that listen to our record
that's better for us ... We feel
like
we're already blessed being here,
right now, at the Woodie
Awards."
Atmosphere was the last
Woodie of the year nominee at
the show. Just like Beckett of the
Academy
Is
... ,
Slug
of
Atmosphere was very grateful
to
mtvU for the chance to be part of
the show.
In addition, Slug was also look-
ing forward to the live perform-
ances. "I'm really interested
µt
seeing Radio on the Radio per-
form," Slug said. "I like how [the
Woodies] is a showcase;
you
get
a little of this band, a little of that
band.
When the last of the invitees
had graced the red carpet, the
first of the performances began
.
Imogen Heap was
ready
to kick
off the evening with a haunting
performance of her internatibnal
hit "Hide and Seek."
"A lot of the reason why
I'm
here today is because of 'The
O.C."' Heap said. "Hide and
Seek" was featured in the third
season of "The O.C."
Heap was nominated for two
Woodies including the Left Field
Woodie, given to the most origi-
nal artist. Heap's sound is very
unique blend of electronica and
singer-songwriter material.
"I
would like
to
coin a new
genre: eclectica," Heap said.

It is easy to go 'Crazy' for MCCTA's
"Crazy
for You"
By
KAITLYN ZAFONTE
great theater owner Mr. Zangler,
Staff Writer
is forced into the family banking
This past weekend, the Marist
College Council on Theatre Arts
(MCCTA), performed its fall
musical "Crazy for You." Based
on the book "Girl Crazy" by Guy
Bolton and Jack Mc Gowan and
featuring songs by Ira and
George Gershwin, the play
chronicles the struggles of
an
aspiring performer in the quest
for stardom and love.
Bobby
Child, after failing to impress the
business. He
is
sent by his con-
trolling mother to Deadrock,
Nevada to foreclose a piece of
property. It is in this lethargic
and provincial town that Bobby
meets and immediately falls in
love with Polly
who
owns and
has sentimental attachments to
the theatre which he is meant to
shut down.
In
an attempt to win
her heart, Bobby plans out an
entire scheme to rejuvenate the
theatre. It all becomes a whirl-
wind of confusion and misunder-
standing as the once sluggish
town spirals into a chaotic disar-
ray
of emotions.
I was extremely
impressed
with
the
overall
production.
Everything ran smoothly from
start to finish, engaging the audi-
ence with slapstick humor and
realistic emotions. Matt Wolfe,
who played the lead Bobby
Child, put his heart and soul into
the performance.
It
was apparent
that he truly understood his char-
acter and enjoyed every second
of portraying him onstage. Polly
Baker, Bobby's love interest, was
acted by Cali LaSpina
,
whose
performance grew
stronger
as
the play proceeded
.
The
two
leads both had amazing
vocal
tal-
ents as well as acting skills, and
truly made the play
into
a sophis-
ticated rendition of
the famous
Broadway musical.
The entire cast had an
intense
liveliness that energized the
audience. I particular
ly
enjoyed
the Cowboys
,
a group of
goofy
guys who at times were nothing
less than hysterical. Their
antics
created the
greatest positive
response of the audience
,
mov-
ing
us
all
into
fits
of laughter.
Although
I
thoroughly enjoyed
"Crazy
for You," from
the
acting
to
the
props,
I thought
that com-
.pared
to the strong leads, the
backup
singers
did not
have
the
strongest
voices.
Singing as
an
ensemble they were
outstand
i
ng
,
but
when
they
sang
or
spoke
individually it was
often hard
t
o
hear
them. They were
incredibly
skilled dancers, however, and I
espec
ially
enjoyed the large
dance numbers that included the
entire cast. The only true blun-
der that was perceivable
to the
audience occurred when a puff
of
white
po
w
der blew up
from
th
e
hair one of
the
performers
who
was portraying
an old man. The
actors
handled
it well though,
keeping in character
as the
audi-
ence
laugh
ed loudl
y.
O
v
era
ll,
the
cast
and crew of
"C

"
put on a
phe-
nomenal show.
Witnessing such
talent certainly entices me

Homogeneity characterizes student population
dmissions
works to break the Marist mold
By
BRIT FIORENZA
Circle Contributor
Moving on to
college
acts as a transition from our
sheltered hometowns into the real world.
During
the college search we all went on our
fair
share of
tours in search of the school we could identify with
the most. While
visiting
Marist
I saw a beautiful
campus and heard of all its attributes, but what I
was
most
concerned with was trying to picture
myself going here. The first time
I
came to Marist
I had a tour guide who had just gotten back from
studying abroad in France, and she was boasting
about trips Marist offered into Manhattan.
I
identi-
fied with her right away and immediately tagged
Marist as the college where
I would fit in. Looking
back this choice seems pretty deliberate; however,
it was completely
subconscious
or at least second
nature.
Now I
wonder, did
I
find Marist's student
body
so
appealing because I was able to identify with
someone who was living out my aspirations, or did
I
find it comforting that I found my persona repli-
cated
in
a
j
ior at Marist College? Everything in
life is categorized and
~
its human
nature. There are the
Ivy League schools, the
prep
schools, the artsy
school~
the community
school~
and with each of these different schools there are
stereotyped students, and there is a trend with
stu-
dents flocking to
the
school that generally corre-
lates to
their
character. It seems the typical Marist
student
is
a white, upper-middle class, prep
from
New England
There is
an
effort to increase diversity. not
only
on
our
campus, but
on
campuses nation
wide,
according to diversityweb.org,
"When students
went off to college this
Fall, they
entered more
diverse campuses than ever before."
One must understand that there are two different
types
of
divemty.
The first being geographic
diver-
sity, the second being ethnic diversity. Both of
these aspects must
be
addressed in order to fulfill
the
uhimate amount of
success
on campus.

Falco leads women's swimming and diving in dominating Rider
By
RICH
ARLEO
Circle Contributor
Junior Jamie Falco continued
her amazing season for Marist as
the women's swimming and div-
ing team was able to defeat its
fiercest competitor and rival,
Rider, this past Saturday in the
Mccann Natatorium.
Falco was able to win three
individual events in the meet: the
200-yard individual medley, the
200-yard backstroke and the
200-yard breaststroke, leading
Marist to an easier than antici-
pated, 146-97 win over Rider.
She took the individual medley
with a time of 2:07 .98 before
besting the field in the back-
stroke and breaststrokes with
times of 2:06.60 and 2:27.09,
respective} y.
Head Coach Larry Van Wagner
had much to say about Falco's
individual performance and
on
his women's team's win.
"She [Fal~o] is having a
tremendous fall," he said. "She's
already broken two school
records and Cjlme close
on
a
third
one
and is just having an
exceptional
season
up to this
point."
As for the meet, Coach Van
Wagner was very happy with the
win.
"We thought the meei was
going to go down to the last
event, up until the 200 fly," he
said. "After that, we had a slight
edge. The last six events Marist
won, and the win was not a ques-
tion prior to the women's one
meter."
Others on the team had big
days as well. Freshman Jenell
Walsh-Thomas won two individ-
ual events
as
she swept the dis-
tance freestyle events, winning
the 1,000 yard free with
a
time
of 10:35.10, and the 500-yard
event in 5:10.67.
Sophomore Sandra Bujalski
also had a strong day in the
water, swimming her way to a
second place finish in the 200-
yard freestyle with a time of
1:57.12, and a first place finish
in the 100-yard freestyle, finish-
ing in 54.29 seconds.
Melissa Mangona also went on
to sweep the diving events on
Saturday. Diving off of the three-
meter board, she posted a score
of 217.95. She also bested the
field afterwards in the one-meter
event with a score of 226.12.
Senior Anna Sanner followed
Mangona in the diving events,
placing second in the three-
meter dive and fifth off of the
one-meter board. Freshman
Katherine Carpenter also had a
good day finishing fourth in both
diving events.
The big win over the rival,
Rider
Broncs
,
moves Marist to
1-1 on the season overall, and 1-
0
in Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference (MAAC) competi-
tions.
Remarking on the win and
looking ahead to the rest of the
season, Coach Van Wagner is
very pleased.
"Our next meets are Fairfield
and Iona, and they are not as
competitive," he said. "Rider is
the most competitive team
we've had to face in the last 11
years in the MAAC, so to get by
them is a bit of a relief."
The Red Foxes will continue
their season on Sunday, Nov. 12
hosting
MAAC
opponent
Fairfield. The meet is scheduled
to take place at 1 p.m. in the
Mccann Natatoriurn.
Men's swimming and diving beat Rider decisively, move to 2-0 this year
By
GREG HRINYA
Staff Writer
The Marist Red Foxes swim-
ming and diving team continued
to roll as they beat Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
(MAAC) opponent Rider in a
dual meet, 143-84.
The Red Foxes rode several
strong performances from junior
Ralph Rienzo and senior Pat
Collins as they improved to 2-0
on the season and 1-0 in the
MAAC.
Collins and Rienzo
both won several events as
Marist coasted to the win.
Marist coach Larry
VanWagner said Ralph
Rienzo's
impressive performance was
vital to the team's win on
Saturday:
"Ralph was tremendous,"
Van Wagner said. "He was the
fastest swimmer in the dual
meet. He actually finished in
first in an exhibition race too,
which would've made his third
first place finish of the day."
Rienzo
ended the day with first
place finishes in the 1000 yard
freestyle with a time of 9:50.84
and the 500 yard freestyle in a
time of 4:47.42.
Marist began the day when
Dan Garaffa, Greg Jablonski,
Mark Esolen, and Pat Collins
opened up with a win in the 400
yard medley relay.
Coach Van
Wagner
said the
team's solid showing helped
lead Marist to victory and let
them know what kind of talent
they.have.
"Ralph
Rienzo
and Pat Collins
are
showing great leadership,"
Van Wagner said. "Pat was the
MAAC player of the week last
week and Ralph will be nomi-
nated this week for his perform-
ance
against
Rider."
Pat Collins posted individual
wins in the
50 yard freestyle
with a time of21.31 and the 100
yard freestyle that he timed in
47.87.
dual meet for the first time in his
career," VanWagner said. "Our
senior captain Brandon Youse
also had one of his personal
bests when he saw his fastest
race in the last relay."
Other solo winners for the Red
Foxes
included
Spencer
Hartmann, Greg
Jablonski,
Nick
Chevalier, and Dan Garaffa.
With the win, Marist got pay-
back for its first ever MAAC
dual meet loss to Rider last sea-
son.
Although they avenged that
loss, Coach Van
Wagner
said that
was not his goal going into the
meet.
The Red Foxes also got contri-
butions from several key mem-
bers which saw a few personal
bests.
"Winning the MAAC champi-
"Jesus Santos did extremely onships last year erased any loss
well and finished second in the we had during the season to
them," VanWagner said. "I do
have to temper my enthusiasm
though, because they were with-
out a few of their key athletes,
and we should see a stronger
team when we face them later
on in the season."
Coach Van Wagner said this
victory can be used as a bench-
mark as the Red Foxes go for-
ward in their season.
"It
was a great opportunity to
evaluate our talent," Van Wagner
said. "It gives
us
confidence in
our opportunity to win another
MAAC championship."
The Red Foxes will be back in
action on November 12 when
they face the Fairfield Stags at
1
p.m. in the McCann Natatorium.

Marist gives up two fourth quarter
TDs,
fall
to Hoyas 24-21
By BRIAN LOEW
Staff Writer
After allowing two fourth quar-
ter touchdowns in a game they
clearly dominated, the Marist
Red Foxes handed a 24-21 victo-
ry over to the Georgetown Hoyas
. Saturday in Washington D.C.
The loss dropped Marist to 3-7
overall as Georgetown improved
to 2-7.
An interception by Georgetown
defensive back Derek Franks on
the Georgetown 30-yard line
with just 36 seconds left in the
game spoiled a Marist come-
back, after the Hoyas scored the
go-ahead touchdown with under
two minutes to play.
Marist got on the scoreboard
first when the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
co-offensive player of the week,
Adam Hansen, finished off a 54-
yard drive with a 3-yard touch-
down run to put Marist up 7-0
with 3:55 left to play in the first
quarter.
Two possessio~s later, fresh-
men O'Neil Anderson took over
for Marist's offensive running
game and ran for a 7-yard touch-
down with 6:44 left in the second
quarter. The play capped off an
84-yard drive that chewed up
nearly seven minutes of the
clock. Anderson lead the team in
rushing on the day with
11
car-
ries for 84 yards.
After Marist was called offside
on the kickoff, sophomore
Kenny Mitchell made Marist pay
dearly with a 57-yard kickoff
return that took the ball to the
Marist 19-yard line. Three plays
later, junior quarterback Matt
Bassuener completed a 14-yard
touchdown pass to running back
Charlie Houghton to put the
Hoyas on the board 14-7 with
just 4:38 left to play in the half.
The Marist defense played an
outstanping first half allowing
only 69 total yards of offense in
the first half by the Hoyas while
the Red Foxes accumulated 207
yards of total offense.
The second half saw the Hoyas
score first with a 26-yard field
goal by Eric Bjonerud at the 9:44
mark. The 26-yard boot closed
the gap to 14-1
0
Marist.
Marist's third touchdown of the
day came after junior quarter-
back Steve McGrath lead a 73~
yard charge down the field,
including completing a critical
33-yard pass to senior wide
receiver Daniel Dulac. McGrath
completed the drive when he
dove across the goal liQe for a
I-
yard score, putting Marist up by
11 with 5:24 left to go in the third
quarter.
Unfortunately,
this
would be Marist's final score of
the day: McGrath finished the
day completing 19 passes for 232
yards with 3 interceptions and no
passing touchdowns.
During Georgetown's first pos-
session of the fourth quarter,
Bassuener closed the gap once
again when he completed a loft-
ing 17-yard touchdown pass to
linebacker Matt Cooper. After a
failed two point conversion, the
score remained 21-16 Marist.
On Georgetown's next posses-
sion which ate up nearly eight
minutes of the clock, Bassuener
struck again completing a 9-yard
touchdown pass to running-back
Erik Carter. The touchdown, fol-
lowed. by a successful two-point
conversion, gave the Hoyas its
first lead of the game 24-21 with
only I :57 left to play.
Georgetown's final push was
enough to topple the Red Foxes.
Marist's final chance to tie the
game came when the Foxes
made it to the Hoyas 46-yard
line. McGrath's pass intended for
Dulac, which would have put
them in range for a Bradley
Rowe kick, sailed over his head
into the waiting arms of
Georgetown's Derek Franks.
Marist was unable
.
to convert
on its three possessions in the
fourth quarter and
.
the Hoyas
retained the lead from there to
make the final score a heart-
breaking 24-21.
Despite the outcome, Marist
head coach Jim Parady said that
the team played very well, they
just had trouble closing out the
ga,me.
"We played a great football
game throughout, we just came
up a couple plays short at the
end," Parady said. "Everything
was there. It was a great college
football game, as I told the team
after. We just ended up coming
out on the short end of the score.
I was very happy with the way
we performed, we're just going
to have to learn to make one or
two more plays to finish a
game."
Parady said that Marist played
well, but a few unfortunate plays
resulted in the failure to keep the
Hoyas at bay.
"If
we had had the ability to get
a few more first downs and flip
the field, just to make them go a
little bit further, I think we
would've been okay," Parady
said. "Our defense had to go
back out after a three-and-out [ at
the end] and I think we just got a
little tired."
The big focus for the Red
Foxes this week is their upcom-
ing conference match-up. Marist
closes out the regular season
with a home game versus confer-
ence rival, Iona this Saturday at l
p.m. at LeonidoffField.
A win Saturday would mean a
share
of
the
MAAC
Championship
title

Duquesne. Coach Parady said
that the team has been focusing
on winning the conference all
