Startling revelations are chal-
lenging the credibil
i
ty of fonner
Federal Emergency Ma
n
agement
Agency director Michae
l
D.
Brown in the wake of painstak-
ing hurricane recovery efforts.
Prior to his affiliat
i
on with
FEMA
i
n 2001, Brown had been
fired from his last private-sector
job, one year earlier, as the com-
missioner of judges and stewards
for the International A
r
abian
Horse Association (IAHA).
His biography on FEMA's
Web site acknowledges his
extensive credentials, serving the
Oklahoma Supreme Court as a
bar examiner on ethics and pro-
fessional responsibility, as well
as several state and local govern-
mental positions, specifically as
the assistant city manager for
Edmond,
Oklahoma from 1975
to 1978 with "emergency servic-
es oversight"
as
confirmed by a
White House press release from
2001.
And yet, no mention is
made of his lAHA involvement
whatsoever.
"We do disciplinary actions,
certification of (show trial)
judges. We hold classes to train
people to become judges and
stewards. And we keep ·records,"
said a spokesperson f0r the
IAHA
commissioner's office-a
Colorado-based breeders' and
horse-show organization. "This
was his full-time job for eleven
years.''

On
a campus where
70% o'f the
slude
nts
own cars
(U.S.
News & World Report),
a
much grealer risk is drunk driv-
ing. According to the National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration, about one per-
son is injured a minute in alco~
hol-related crashes, or 513,000 a
year. And
in
2001, an estimated
2.1 million students between the
ages of 18 and 24 drove under
the
influenc
e
of alcohol (accord-
ing to Magnitude of Alcohol-
Related
Mortality and Morbidity

by R.
Hingsoo).
Our
Director
of Safety and
Security,
John
Gildard, said that
taxis aren't restricted
on
campus
as long as they are registered
with the Town of
Poughkeepsie
.
Although he was
unwilling
to
say that Marist is picking and
choosing its battles about under-
age drinking, he did acknowl-
edge that drunk driving is
the
most
serious
problem that
the
campus can combat.
"We encourage students to
obey all the laws, especially with
drinking and driving," Gildard
said.
"Any anti-drinking and
driving organization will tell
[people who have been drinking]
to get a
taxi."

FEMA,
in 2003, for losing
its
autonomy,
money
,
focus, and
direct access to the president
when it became incorporated
with the sprawling Department
of Homeland Security.
"These are issues that go well
beyond one person," Rodriguez
said.
Incidentally, on Friday,
September
9th,
Homeland
Security
Secretary
Michael
Chcrtoff made the announce-
ment
that Brown had been dis-
patched to Washington fo{lowing
the announcement of a
replac
e-
ment
to conduct
hurricane
relief
efforts. Vice Adm.
Thad
W. Allen
of the Coast Guard, whose prior
work scaled several
dimensions
from disrupting drug trafficking,
rescuing migrants, and sealing
off America's maritime borders
from terrorist attacks, had been
assigned as Brown's deputy and
will
lead
search-and-rescue and
recovery tfforts all along tbe
Gulf Coast. In particular, he's
credited with the Coast
Guard's response to the Sept.
11th
terrorist
attacks, ordering
his Atlantic forces to close major
seaports and control U.S. waters.
Already,
the
Coast Guard has
rescued thousands of stranded
residents trapped amidst the
ex.tensive flooding.
It
would only be three more
days until the embattled
FEMA
director signaled his
resignation
on Monday, September 12th,
after being abruptly recalled to
Washington. Facing an obvious
vote of
no
confidence from his
superiors at the White House and
Homeland Security Department,
Brown announced
his
resigna-
tion to White House chief of
staff,
Andy Card. Categorically
denying that
he
padded his
resume, Brown said that
he
feared he had become a distrac-
tion while the approval ratings of
President Bush and
fellow
Republicans took a sharp nose-
dive.
His successor, R. David
Paulison, head of FEM

Local, state governments bear blame
for response to
Katrina
By
JAMES MARCONI
Circle Contributor
Anyone who
has turned
on a
television, tuned
in
to the radio,
or logged onto the Internet
recently
bas been bombarded
with
infonnation
about
Hurricane Katrina and its impact
on the Gulf Coast.
It
is, without
a doubt, one of the worst catas-
trophes to ever strike our nation.
The stories coming out of New
Orleans are
especially
heart
wrenching, and
it
is difficult to
hear tales o(. homes destroyed,
people
struggling
for survival,
and
a
city
that is irrevocably
changed.
Looking
back on this natural
disaster, on the suffering
'
of so
many, there have
been
a lot of
fingers pointed and a
lot
of criti-
cism pla~ed on those viewed as
responsible for relief efforts.
I
refer in particular to unfair criti-
cisms of President Bush that the
federal relief effort is far too lit-
tle far too late.
A key fact that must be remem-
bered is that this hurricane was
not
something
anyone could
have prevented. No one can stop
a force of nature this powerful;
the best we can do is track it and
warn those in its path to get out
of the way.
That said,
it must
also be remembered that in a
sit-
uation like this, the federaJ gov-
ernment is incapable of taking
preventative measures
-
it
can
only react to the disaster once it
bas
occurred. And
the
federal
government has done just that.
Even now, the Army Corps of
Engineers is working to pump
the water
from
the streets of New
Orleans, and has
declared
that
the job will probably be complet-
ed in October. According to a
story
on the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA)
website, "Nearly
$690
million in
federal aid has
been
distributed,·•
and
"More
than
330,000
house-
holds today have a
$2,000
FEMA
grant
either
already
in
band or have one on the
way."
J
truly believe that a
national
bureaucracy
is
not and
wiU
never
be capable
of efficiently
han-
dling a crisis that is
restricted to
a
comparatively small segment
of the
country.
Nor should
it
have to. The
responsibility for
evacuation
and relief during
a
localized
disaster resides with
the
governments that
administer
the area affected. Therefore,
the
governments that
should
have
been
able to
do
more were
those
of the
state of
Louisiana
and
the
War in Iraq exhibits Vietnam similarities
By
DANIEL
BLACK
Circle Contributor
Is the war
in
Iraq becoming
another Vietnam?
Recently, Jonathan
Charles,
a
reporter for
BBC
News,
pub-
lished a piece from this perspec-
tive. His article brought back a
question that's been on my mind
for a
long time:
Is
the campaign
for
[raqi
freedom
that our gov-
ernment has taken on
a
contem-
porary version of
the late
six-
ties
/ea
rly
seventies campaign
for
protecting South Vietnam from
the
communists
of the north?
With minimal reseatc't( and
number
crunching,
the
oOvious
answer
is no.
The war in
Vietnam incurred far greater
casualties over a
much longer
period
of
time
,
not to mention
the resulting political unrest that
bordered
anarchy.
The expendi-
tures for the Vietnam war, not
just momentarily, but also tech-
nological and research alloca-
tions,
as
well
as
instituting the
draft far dwarf the costs of our
modem operational commit-
ments.
All material evidence
stacked side
by
side,
comparing
Iraq to Vietnam is equitable to
comparing a camp
fire
to a forest
fire.
But
J
speculate
there are simi
8
larities beneath the
surfaces
that
render the two conflicts
near
l
y
interchangeable with one anoth-
er. Take for
example everything
we learned
in

war.
Substitute all the
"c
ommunisms"
with
..
ter-
rorisms" and you've got the
words
of
today's politicians
when they
explain
the need for
such
a large operational commit-
ment to the Middle East.
Jo
both war
efforts,
the
U.S.
attempted a two-sided mission:
exterminate the pockets of resist-
ance that threaten the mission
while winning the hearts and
minds of the local population.
The problem is the two missions
undennine one another because
the two

are

single
cul-
tural and
sociological entity.
Examine the progress, or the
lack-thereof, that these two
events

9/11:
Tributes fade to silent
recall
Four
years
aftCr
the attacks
of
September
11,
2001, it seems
much has gone back
to
normal -
whatever that means thCse days.
Upon waking up Sunday morn-
ing, it seems for many people,
the date was the last thing on
their mind. Maybe some people
were more concerned with the
Giants vs.
Cardinals
game that
afternoon, or perhaps the recent
devastation in the South
caused
by Hurricane Katrina preoccu-
pied
their minds. Either way, the
lack of
general
acknowledgment
of the day may be a sign that
many people are simply moving
on.
In
class Monday morning, my
professor led a class
discussion
about how people felt, and
whether or not they had seen or
done anything
to
commemorate
the
occasion.
Many people
admitted they had
not
even real-
ized what day
it
was until it was
almost over. For those who did
remember, the day seems
to
have
become one of silent remem-
brance, rather than organized

As a

fol-
lowing the attacks,
I
remember
the candlelight
vigil
that was
held in the grotto. The event was
publicized and people were
encouraged to come together to
commemorate the day.
Two
years after the attacks,
The
Circle
ran a center spread of pictures.
,By the third year, not much was
said or done, and now, four
years
later, everyone has all but
forgot-
ten.
Maybe people are unsure how
to broach the issue
or
maybe
it

simply
become a
day
to

No

the day,
or
how

and
when
the topic is

draw upon the images that
sur-
rounded us in the media, and
they

the
reminders
people deal with on

daily basis.
Airport security is
probably the
most
obvious of
these reminders.

·of
a time at 4:00 am Saturday
night, when
I
encountered the
best feast this side of
Eden,
known as the Italian Festival. As
I
hopped into the cab straight
from the bar, e1tpecting to srum-
ble across my
lawn
ten blurred
minutes later and
hopefully
make it to my bedroom,
I
was
mildly enthused to see
l
ooming
tents and dull
lights beckoning
me out of the oversized van into
the wonderful world of garlic
knots,
la
sagna
and cannolis.
Mike, Glaze,
Jay,
Kat and

on the

rest their spinning heads on

While a brief
nap on

did
stimu-

my
fancy, my
number
one
priority was to cram as
many
greasy carbohydrates
into
my
stomach
as possible. And
look
at
all that grease! "Where
to
start?"
I languidly turned my
head
towards
a commotion to
my
right. Four seated
men,
appear-
ing
in their mid-fifties were
bab-
bling
about something other than
why
this place
was still open
this
early in the morning.
I
weaved
towards them under the
electric
light canopy, enticed by their
vivacity so
.
deep into the
night.
Now,
the
only thing to
figure
out
was
a way
into the
dialogue.
Being of Iris
h
blood know nearly
no Italian
and rely on Scorsese
films for my
Italian-American
education. So
I
said
the
only
thing acceptable at that
point.

turned my
palms
upwards,
shrugged my shou
ld
ers and
be!•
lowed
a boisterous "Heyyyyyy!"
The four balding men tilted their
heads back, examining
me
for a
moment
before
a
loud,
"Ohhhhh!
Get over
heea!"
I
agreeably seat-
Cd
myself
on a steel chair that
reminded
me of the kind Hulk
Hogan
would
use
to
beat some-
one in
the
ring.
To
my right was
Lou, and on my
left
was Manny.
Across
sat
Anthony
and Sal. Lou
was sweat
in
g profusely, which
I
assumed was a
method
of clean-
ing
the marinara stain off his
tight tank
top.
"Whaddya

little low, but
I've got enough beer
to last
you
through

Day. So
do
yourself a favor
and
grab one."
The Manny
and Sal found this
comment to
be
rather
humorous
and slapped me on
the
back.
I
happily
cooperated
to
Lou's
invi-
tation and
poured a
nice
deep
head
into the Solo cup provided.

that with

I

Now this orderly
little
strata-
gem, which was to
be
employed
by state and

agencies
long
before a hurricane hit, was
never
fully put into effect!
In
fact,
Mayor Ray Nagin actually
declared to citizens of New

hurricane
hit,
"You are on your Own." This
is
the
same
man who
-
in
an inter-
view with Tim Russert oo Meet

-
said
that
his "biggest
mistake
"
was
in assuming
" ... that the calvary [the US gov-
ernment) would
be
coming with-
in two to
three
days, and
they
didn't come." Talk about pass-
ing
the buck! Instead
of
making
an
honest and
critical evaluation
of
bis
own
perfonnance
in
this
tragedy,
Nagin chose
to take
a
cheap
pot-shot
at

The Powerful Owl.
Australia's Version
of the Northern
Spotted Owl?
The Powerful Owl (Nlnox strenua) Is Australia's largest owl, reaching
heights
of up to 65cm (25.6 inches) and weighing up to 17008
(3.
75 pounds). This highly cryptic species has extremely high public
interest
and subsequently Is a politically Important species. Like
the Northern
Spotted Owl, Powerfu I Owls are obligate cavity nesters
and have
suffered decline due to the loss of large, cavity producing
trees.
Due to their size, It Is estimated that
it
takes 200-300 years
for a
tree to produce suitable cavities for Powerful Owls.
This seminar,
presented by Dr. Raylene Cooke from Deakin
University, Australia, provides
an
overview of her Powerful Owl
research In
urban and urban fringe environments and discusses the
future
management of this Iconic Australian species.

Foxes break hearts of Pioneer fans in nailbiting road win
By
GABE PERNA
Staff Writer
On the strength of three
Bradley Rowe field goals and a
tenific game from senior signal
caller James Luft. the Red Foxes'
football team defeated Sacred
Heart 22-20 this past Saturday.
Luft, who went l 7-for-27
with
185
yards
and one touchdown
passing as well as running,
played a mistake free game
in
leading Marist to
victory.
He also
ran for a team
high
(tied
with
sophomore running back Obozua
Ehikioya)
56
yards on 11 rushes.
"Luft played an excellent
game overall," said head coach
Jim
Parady
whose
team
improves to
1-1
on the early sea-
son. "The most important thing
that he did was
not
tum
the ball
over."
Unlike last year's contest where
the Foxes got drubbed
by
Sacred
Heart 38-10, this game came
down to the wire. After Luft
hooked up with junior wideout
Prince Prempeh for a
20-yard
scoring stike, the Foxes
took
a
22-14
lead.
The Pioneers,
seemingly
out of
it,
responded with
a
score of their
own. Their star running back Ed
Prico
l
o
ran
40 yards
down
the
left sideline for his third touch-
down
of
the game, putting
Sacred
Heart
within
two
points
in
under two minutes to play.
On
the ensuing two-point con-
version, senior linebacker Mike
cSiummo broke up the
attempted
play while senior wide receiver
Tim 'Traynor
recovered
the
onside kick.
Parady said the defense provid-
ed
the
support for Luft and the
offense through-
out
the game.
''The defense
played
a
very
physical game,"
he said.
"They
came up with the
critical
plays
jn
the 4th quarter to
stop Sacred
Heart
and put us
in a
position
to
win."
The defense
proved that they
fulfilled the task
of
stopping
Sacred
Heart
when junior
safety
Nick Salis picked
off
a
pass from
Pioneer's
starting
quarterback
Tyler
Arciaga.
The

Last week., the LSU Tigers won

Louisiana environs
of Tempe,
Ariz.
While their
campus and home town of Baton

in
enduring
shock from Katrina,
the
team
traded the bayou and crayfish for
the desert and rattle snakes - and
emerged with an impressive vic-

Tech in Ruston, their new home
away from home. Unlike LSU
,
Tulane will
spend
their entire
fall
semester away from home, along
with all other Tulane
students.
The same holds true for those at
Loyola and

To say the Mari st men's soccer

complete understatement; in fact,.
the players are probably sick of
hearing
it.
Many

team, who should be 3-0.

Cochrane, McEathron, O'Dell's double-doubles give volleyball its first win
By
DAVID HOCHMAN
Staff Writer
The Marist volleyball team
broke out of their early-season
slump
in
a decisive victory at the
Anny
Open.
After dropping their first two
matches to Anny and the
University
of
Califomia-
Riverside, the Red Foxes defeat-
ed

3-1.
Senior

the

against Anny while
recording
eight digs in the contest against
UC-Riverside.
This
will

and the rest of the
team
confi-
dence heading into matches
against conference opponents.
Marist's assistant volleyball
coach Jenn Corkum
said the
Anny Open has
improved
their
play for the
rest
of the season.
"If
the girls can dig a
ball
against
players
on these great
teams,
they know they can dig
balls
in
conference match-ups,"
she said.
According to Corkum, the 3-0
loss to Army challenged the
team's endurance and
physicality
throughout the match.
"Army is the most physically
in-shape
team we
played,"
she
said. "Anny and UC-Riverside
are two extremely competitive
teams, but we matched !hem in
digs and we clicked much better
this weekend."
The teamwork definitely
showed when the Foxes beat St.
Francis. Junior Kim McEathron,
senior Meghan Cochrane, and
freshman setter Lindsey O'Dell
all
had
double-doubles.
Marist exhibited dominance
during their 3-1 victory over St.
Francis, winning 30-16, 30-24,
28-30, 30-19, respectively.
In
fact, junior Stefanie Miksch was
only one ace shy of the school
record when she served up seven
undefendable balls.
Now
in
her
fifth
year,
head
coach Sarah Hutton has her first
fully self-recruited
team.
With all
this
difficult
competition early in
the season,
the
coaching staff
knows that
the
Foxes will be
physically
ready
and competitive
against all their Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
opponents, especially when it
comes to tournament time.
The St. Francis victory could-
n't
have
come at a better time.
Marist
will
now
enter a six-

with
some
momentum behind them.
Corkum said the victory over

Women's soccer drops first game of New York road trip, remaining scoreless in two games
By
DREW BUDD
Staff Writer
The women's Red Fox.es soccer
team
lost
a
tough game to the
Black Knights of Anny, 3 - 0,
this past weekend at West Point.
Marist controlled the game
from
the
opening whistJe, keep-
ing the ball out of
its
defensive
end most of the time
during
the
first half. Some good scoring
chances came when a' close
range shot by junior forward
Justine Caccamo
Was
stopped by
Army
goalkeeper
Rebecca
Garcia.
Sophomore defense/midfield-
er Keri Koegel had a very pow-
erful shot from
long
range that
was also saved by Garcia.
Army had
IO
shots in the first
half and scored their first goal
with just under
three
minutes to
go in the first half when Molly
Byrnes
headed
in a ball into the
wide right comer of net.
Although Marist looked at
I -
0
deficit
going into the first half,
the team still felt like they had
the momentum.
"I would have to say that we
were in control of the game the
entire first half," said head coach
Elizabeth Roper. "Anny domi-
nated
during the second half.
They just came out with
an
extra
boost we
didn't
think:
they had."
In
the second half, Army came
out with
18
more shots giving
them a game total of 28 with
nine of them on goal.
"Anny is historically known
for bcink a very aggressive
t.c111n
who likes to shoot a lot," Roper
said.
The shots played a big part of
the game. Marist had just 10
total shots with five on goal.
With the nwnber of shots Army
actually took, Marist goalkeeper,
freshman Caitlin Nazarecbuk,
had a very nice game with six
saves, playing in her first full
game of the season.
Anny could have had a bigger
lead had
it
not been for the goal-
tending of Nazarechuk.
She
saved a shot on a one-on-one sit-
uation and also one from very
close range to keep Marist
in
striking
distance
during
the
sec-
ond half.
Anny scored their second goal,
first of the second half, when
Delaney
Brown took
a hard shot
from
25
yards out to beat
Nazarechuk on the right side.
The third and final goal came at
