Recently, many lists recogn
i
z-
ing top-merited institutions of
higher education have included
Marist College and its subdivi-
sions.
The
School
of
Management is the latest school
to be honored, among the best
business schools in the entire
nation for the second year in a
row. The Princeton Review fea-
tured Marist in the newest edi-
tion of
its
col legc ratings guide
,
Best 237 Business Schools (2006
Edition), which is now in book-
stores.
The Princeton Review helps
prospective students in their
search for the perfect school. To
help in the decision-making
process, it surveys students
attending the schools and report
what they say about their experi-
ences. The profiles and ranking
lists of top
schools are based on
the data Collected from school
administrators and students at the
school.
In
a press release, vice presi-
dent of publishing at the
Princeton Rev
i
ew Robert Franek
said, "Every school we profile in

the college, said Joanne Gavin
,
The 2005 edition of the
professor of management at
Princeton Review says that
Marist "serves up a solid
l
y
designed degree that provides a
broad-based coverage of busi-
ness to a student body that has a
wide range of backgrounds and
l
evels of managerial experience."
The Schoo
l
of Management is
one of
300
business schoo
l
s in
Marist,
as it
increases the pres-
tige of an already well-respected
degree.
''This accreditation alone puts a
business school on a different

Dear Reader,
I
recently
had
the troubling
epiphany that the usable knowl-
edge
from
my communications
degree could very well
have
been gleaned from a summer
internship, access to Lexus-
Nexis, and copies of Spanking
the Donkey by
Matt
Taibbi, All
The
President's
Men
by
Woodward and
Bernstein
and the
Associated Press stylebook. And
if
J
wanted to be a self-loathing
media slave, Manufacturing
Consem by Noam Chomsky.
The movie, not the book.
I
have
a
life you know.
As
I
strolled through the streets
of my Poughkeepsie
,
slum,
I
mean,

option,
I
mulled just cutting my
parents' losses and getting a job
at Monster Taco.
But once
again, my damn communications
degree got in the way. There was
no quesadilla unit in my intercul-
tural
class.
This last Tuesday
I
was run-
ning
way
late
for my
10
a.m.
meeting with John Gildard in the
Donnelly Security Office.
I
decided to take
a
chance and
park in Donnelly. and as
I
hlmed
off my car,
a
glance at the clock
showed it was

Maybe
I'll
casually mention my
ticket to Gildard.
At that moment
I
remembered
my
Comm
Ethics
course.
Journalists shouldn't accept a
gift
over $20 for fear of affecting
objectivity. If my plan to slither
out ofmy ticket worked,
I
would
be
violating
the
code of ethics
that
thousands
of journalists
obey.
I
wouldn't be able to get
a
job at the New York Tlmes
like
Jayson Blair or Judith Miller.
Or at any
major
daily
that
sends
reporters
to White House press
conferences.
$20 is a stupid
arbitrary figure that could
proba-
bly be doubled to adjust for
inflation, but
at
least
I
learnt
something.

It
seems abundantly clear that
the White House did not want a
fight over the confinna
t
ion of
Justice Sandra Day-O'Connor's
r
ep
l
acement. The suspense had
been building up for months;
there were strong rumors that
Democratic senators would
fili-
buster a conservative nominee to
the Supreme Court. Of course,
everyone expected President
Bush to nominate an openly con-
servative candidate to the court.
What we got was Harriet Miers.
While I am pleased that Bush's
choice will likely go through the
Senate without a protracted bat-
tle, I remain concerned about the
choice itself. There are a
few
reasons behind my reservations,
not the least
Qf
which are her
qualifications.
The first
thing
that comes to mind is her lack of
judicial experience. Now, don't
get me wrong,
I
don't view p
r
evi-
ous service as a judge to
be
a pre-
requisite for serving on the
Supreme Court.
Chief Justice
Wi
ll
iam Rehnquist had no prior
judicial record before his own
nomination, and he proved capa-
ble indeed.
It
does bother me,
however, that
I
have no track
record by which to judge her
judicia
l
philosophy.
I'll
explain
that a bit later.
Miers' legal qual
i
fications also
fail to inspire my support.
Again
,
I
don't want you to get the
wrong impression -
I
believe
Miers to possess competent legal
mind. She has perfonned quite
ably in several positions of note.
Among other posts on her
resume, Miers can boast heading
a
top Dallas law
finn
and arguing
numerous cases on the beha
l
f of
important corporate clients. This
is a good record, but it's not stel-
lar; there are certainly other
lawyers nationwide who have
done the same. Some prominent
conservatives feel
sim
i
larly.
"There
are
a
lot
more
people ... that are more qualified
in my opinion than she is," said
Senator
Trent
Lott
(www.cnn.com).
The biggest issue
I
have with
the Miers nomination
has
noth-
ing to do with her intellect.
Although
I
don't ant
i
cipate see-
ing the caliber of brilliance
demonstrated by Chief Justice
John
Roberts, Miers' record cer-
tainly speaks of a keen intelli-
gence that would do just fine on
the Supreme Court. No, I
am
Miers on which to
hesitant to support her nomina-
form an op
in
ion. All
tion because
I
know virtually
there is to give me any
nothi
n
g about her. In all honesty,
insight into Miers is
as a conservative
I
would like to
President Bush.
He
has said in no uncerta
i
n
terms
that
Miers
" ... will stric
tl
y inter-
pret our Constitution
and laws. She will not
legis
l
ate
from
the
bench." Harriet Miers
herself gave the pub
l
ic
an
inkling concerning
her views when she
said,
"
It is the responsi-
bility of every genera-
tion to be true to the
Fou
n
ders' vision of the
proper role of the
courts in our society."
With great convic-
see a conservative justice on the
bench.
With Mie
r
s, though,
there really is very little hard
information to indicate her
stances on key issues that are
like
l
y to come before the court.
While
I
certainly hope that all
justices on the court base their
decisions on their i
n
terp
r
etation
of the Constitution a
l
one,
I
would certainly be more com-
fortable with a judge who shares
my views, as would the GOP.
"We're left gathering shreds of
evidence in trying to detennine
how the candidate would vote on
the key issues of the day," said
Senator Sam Brownback.
This brings me to my final
point.
As a conservative,
I
believe that the most important
factor for service on the Supreme
Court is the jud
i
c
i
al philosophy
of the cand
i
date.

Personally, I'm inclined to put
my faith in the president's
choice.
Bush so obviously
stands firmly by his assessment
of Mie
r
s, and truly believes she
will be a posit

S

Depression among college-age students on the rise
By
LAUREN RICHMONO
Circle Contributor
Many
students find
the
adjust-
ment from high
school
to
college
difficult.
Even the student
that
seems
most at
ease
with their
new lifestyle
will
often confess
to moments
of missing
their
familiar high
school friends,
family
an~
other
comforts
of
home.
A study
by
UCLA reports
that more then
30
percent
of col-
lege freshmen
say
they feel over-
whelmed most
of the
time in the
beginning
stages of college.
By

Editor
Some
students,
however, find
themselves feeling much more
than simply overwhClmed.
According to the American
College Health Association, 15
percent of college students were
diagnosed with clinical depres-
sion
last year, an increase of I 0
percent from
4
years ago.
Doctors say that some of this
large increase in nwnbers is due
to the fact that medication allows
many students that might other-
wise withdrawal from college or
resist admission due to depres-
sion
to
continue their education.
A
survey
by psychologist Robert
Gallagher of the University of
Pittsburgh from 200
I
reports that
85 percent of counseling centers
on college
campuses saw
an
increase of
students
with severe
psychological issues in the five
years prior to the study. This
increase
in numbers may be par-
tiaUy due
to
the public's increas-
ing awareness of
symptoms
of
diseases such as depression and
also that the field of psychology
may becoming more
adept
at
diagnosing
serious

ness.

such
as depres-

These

Clinical
depression is such that
the sadness or helplessness that a

weeks.
The
student

drugs or drink excessively for
the purpose of escaping from

often experience changes in
sleep patterns and loss of moti-
vation.
Clinical depression is
more prevalent in women

65
percent of these

surreal effects of red, white and

and boyfriend, Jem, short for
Jeremy, lay unco

scious in a
hospital room. When he woke
from his coma, he had severe
amnesia. Like some bad Soap

he was still in multiple casts, the

Celtic-fusion ensemble amasses new fan base at Marist
By
BRIAN

The McKre
ll
s,
a
vagabond
musical ensemble,
stormed
their
way through the Nelly Goletti
Theatre on Tuesday night, and
l
eft in their wake a throng of toe-
tapp
i
ng new fans.
Sponsored
by
the
Student
Programming
Council,
the
band's music can best be
described as a genre in
which tra-

Vance on lead gu
i

Leske on banjo and mandol

n,
Doug
Moody
on fidd
l
e, Brian
Melick on pe
r
cussio
n
, and Rick
Bedrosian (of Hair of the
Dog)
on bass.
The trio of McKrel
l
, Vance, and
Leske have been playing togeth-
er
for over
25
years
and this has
led to astounding rhythmic cohe-
siveness and on-stage charisma
rarely found in the modem music
scene.
Comb
i
ne that with
McKrell's
thought-provoking
lyrics and
the

followed by
lyrics, bluegrass fmger-pickin',
and rook-ft-roll rhythms collide.
The aptly named MCK.rells
were led by singer/songwriter
and rhythm guitarist Kevin
McK.re
ll
. McK.rell is joined by
From
Page Five
the
title
track of their newest alb
u
m, "Hit
the Gr-0uftd
Runotn:'"
These
jams, along with most of the
other song, featured trading
solos,
which showcased their
phenomenal musica
l
ability and
"This is the last place
I
want to
be tonight," McK.rell croons in
"The Last Place." "I've seen
these walls before, I've seen
these spaces in the bar
l
ights/
I
am so far
from
my
h
ome, here in
the last place
I
want to be
tonight."
It was these poignant lyri\:s that
reminded James Q. Sheehan,
a
j
u
nior at Marist, just bow mov-
ing music can be.
"The music really brought me
back to
a
time
in
my life when
I
thought
I
cou
l
d be a big time folk
singer," Sheehan said. "I think
after seeing the McK.rells tonight
I
will tty to make that
dream a
reality."
The McKretls stretched out
musically, inc
lu
ding the Buddy
Holly-esque "Apple of My Eye"
and the ca
l
ypso driven "The
Only Thi
n
g Missing
'is
You".
McK.rell introduced "The Only
Thing
...
" by telling of how he
was put up in a motel in Cape
May, New Jersey, and was enrap-
tured with the
view.
The only
problem was he had no one to
share it with.
"So,
I
did the
thing
I
do when
I'm in a hotel room by myse
l
f,"
the singer said,
to
chuckles from
both the audie
n
ce and his band
mates.
tr •••
The other thing
I
do
when I'm in a hotel room by
myself-I wrote a song."
The
versatility
of the show
appealed
to
Marist junior
Andrew C. Gates, who spent
much of the evening's perform-
ance
clapping
and tapp
i
ng along
with the music.
"They rocked/ the
junior
told
the Circle. "They did so much
[stuff] out there-rock, blue-
grass,
Celtic,
calypso-you just
had
to
love
il!"
And, in what surely must be a
comment of complimen
t
,
Gates
added, "They probably wou

Personal story of preventable lo
·
ss in light of alcohol awareness week
morning hours of September
23,
1
999,
Jeremy B
l
ake died quietly,
his unc
l
e Thom, his guardian, by
his side. He was buried a few
days
l
ater beside his parents,
who had died several years
before from cancer and liver fail
-
ure.
We fami
l
y and friends joked in
t
he macabre way that the griev-
ing joke, about hiS epita~h and
tombstone.
Perhaps,
we
l
aug
h
ed, we should inscribe it
w
i
th the quip,
"Here
lies
J
eremy
Blake. The bitch hit the gas,
instead of the brake.'; But mor-
bid humor gave way to true grief.
From
Page Eight
Kyle, for the first time feeling
truly alone in the world, left
home.
Thom moved away to
Singapore, trying to escape the
memories of his beloved nephew
and his immense loss.
I have not seen or
h
eard from
Kyle in five years now. I pray he
is alive and well, but I know a
piece of Kyle died along with his
best friend. Jem was an incredi
-
ble light in so many lives, he was
so remarkab
l
y
i
ntelligen
t
,
funny,
and kind.
He had graduated
from high school early, and was
supposed to have started at
Cambridge University the very
September he lay dyi
n
g.
Heartrend
i
ng though this true
story may be, the most horren-
dous part of the tale is that it
could have eas
il
y been preve
n
t-
ed. The woman who hit Jem
with her Jaguar had been drink-
ing. She was speeding, yes, but
no mo
r
e than you or
1
exceed the
s
p
eed lim
i
t on a daily basis.
It
was,
h
owever, the alcoho
l
in her
blood that
slowed
her reaction
time. As she rounded the bend
and saw a boy on a bicycle in the
midd
l
e of the road, she was
unable to co
n
centrate on braking.
Fo
r
a long time, I hated this
woman.
[ despised her to my
very core for what she did to the
boy I loved so
,
unconditionally,
and the people who loved him
so. Now,
h
owever,
I
have come
to realize that her loss is, in some
ways, greater than my own.
After all, she must live with the
knowledge that she took the life
of a beautiful
sixteen-year-old
forever.
She never bad the
chance to know and
l
ove the boy
she killed, an experience I guard
jealo
u
s
l
y in my own life.
This week is National
Co
ll
egiate Alcohol Awareness
Week. I am certain
l
y
not going
to urge yo
u
not to drink.
I
am not
going to preach about the health
effects of a
l
coho
l
or the damage
it
can cause you internally. What
I do ask, however, is that you
never drink and drive, and that
you do
anything
in your power to
p
r
event those you love and those
around you from doing so.
There is no reason that anyone
should ever had to experience
the pain that we felt throughout
the summer and fall of
1
999.
Look into the eyes of this boy
and wonder what a man he could
have become, had he been given
the chance
to
live
.
Foxes net game-winning goal with less than two minutes in monsoon
made
11
saves and
earned
he
r
first
win
of the season.
According to coach
Roper, Herber's consisten-
cy granted her the
start
as
well as the confidence in
sh
u
tt
i
ng down Canisius's
offense.
"She has really
stepped
it

p all throug
h
the
season
to play,"
she
said. "In prac-
tices,
she
consistent
l
y
played well. She was the
most consistent this the
week, so
we gave her the
nod, and she did a great job

Luft overcomes career-threatening injuries to set records
By
JOE
FERRARY
Staff Writer
From overcoming adversity on
and off the field, to single handi-
ly rewriting the Marist College I-
AA Football records book, James
Luft has had a special career for
the Red Foxes.
Success on any athletic field is
nothing new for James
,
as he was
a four-year varsity letter winner
in football
,
baseball, and basket-
ball.
During his senior season of
football
,
James was elected to
third team All-State in New
York, an honor only dreamed
about for many other football
players.
"I
was really surprised," Luft
said.
"It
is such
a
great feeling
knowing that
I
am one of the top
football players in this vast
state."
However
,
this good feeling
would not
last
that
long
for
James.
as
he would not see any
playing time his first year due
to
the depth at quarterback.
The
disappointment
continued
for James as he broke his ankle is
sophomore season
,
and would
miss the entire year.
"It was tough not being able to
be around the team," Luft said.
"I
was always away from the team
getting treatment for my ankle."
The broken ankle forced
James
to work hard during the off-sea._
son, which
propelled
him into
the starting role, beginning nine
out of
IO
games during the 2003
season.
This is where it all began for
James as he started to rewrite the
history books for Marist.
He set single-season records in
passing yards and completions.
He also set many single game
records
as well.
After a very successful season
2003, more serious problems
occurred for James. Coming into
training camp for the 2004 sea-
son, Luft's
left
eye became
swollen; this forced Luft to go to
the doctors to receive treatment.
Luft would continue to play
through his
eye problems for
seven games that year, until he
went for an
MRI.
It was
revealed that Luft had an
enlarged tumor on
his
brain and
was pushing his eye out of its
socket.
Surgery was the only option for
Luft and that meant he would
have to miss the Red Foxes' last
three games of the season.
With surgery to be scheduled
on a Tuesday and Marist having
a
game
against
Central
Connecticut State University
(CCSU) on Saturday
,
Luft
con-
vinced his doctors to
let him
play
just one more game before sur-
gery.
Luft played in that game, fin-
ishing 20-for-39 for 248 yards
with one touchdown and three
interceptions
.
Not the best game
for Luft, but he said it was a suc-
cess
in
keeping his mind off of
the impending surgery.
"I
received a lot of support
from not only my family
,
but
from the guys on the team
as
well
,
" Luft said. "It was a grea!
support system."
Surgery was a huge success for
Luft, as the doctors removed the
tumor.
With the new offense
installed
by Coach Parady, this
hinted
that it would be a great
year for the Red Foxes and
James.
Already this year, Luft
has
completed
59.8
percent of his
passes for 1,209 yards and nine
touchdowns.
With a veteran
group of wide receivers,
led
by
his favorite target Guy Smith and
the
running
attack of Obozua
Ehik.ioya, Luft said, ".We should
be easily scoring 35
points
each
game and we also have
the
talent
to finish 9-2 this year."
The Red Foxes currently foster
a 4-2
record.
Currently, James holds all the
career,
Marist
quarterback
records for I-AA,
including
pass
attempts, pass completions, pass-
ing yards, and touchdowns.
He
also holds single season
records for pass attempts
,
pass
completions, passing yards, and
completion percentage.
He is tied in single-season
touchdowns, with nine.
Also,
Luft
holds
three of the five single
game
records
for Marist in pass-
ing.
Coach
Jim
Parady
can
take
all
of the credit for bringing
the
best
quarterback in Red Foxes
history
toMarist.
"James is a competitor and a
warrior, and
all
of those other
coaching cliches too,"
he
said.

Marks, Josephs lead Marist to second MAAC win with dismantling of Rider
By
NATE FIELDS
Circle Contributor
The Marist men's tennis team
continued
its
impressive play last
Wednesday at Rider University,
dealing the struggling Broncs
their fifth
loss
of the season.
With the victory, the Red Foxes
pushed both their Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
record and overall season record
to 2-0.
Sophomore Gregory Marks
had
a perfect day, dropping
Jeremy Finkelson-Reece 6-0, 6-0
in singles competition
,
and pair-
ing up with junior Ray
Josephs
to
blank Finkelson-Reece and Mike
Greenburg in doubles play, 8-0.
Marks has yet to surrender a
match in MAAC play. Although
Marks is in his second year at
Marist, this is
his
first season for
Coach Tim Smith.
"He is a welcome addition to
this team," Smith said.
"I'm
not
surprised
[by his
success]
though.
I
followed him in high
school, and he was a semi-final-
ist
in the state tournament"
Marks wasn't the only Marist
player to enjoy success. Not one
singles
player
suffered defeat
,
and the closest singles match any
Red Fox played in was 6-3.
Their success came, somewhat
surprisingly. without seniors
Pedro Genovese and Federico
Rolon.
"The Rider match showed the
depth of our team
,
in that we
were able to leave two of our top
six
players
out of the
lineup
to
concentrate on academics, and
still were victorious in all match-
es," Smith said.
Not taking two seniors on the
road against a conference oppo-
nent may seem unconventional
,
but Coach Smith said he wants
his players to concentrate on
academics in addition
to
tennis.
"On away trips, I feature some
different players," he said. "If it
is a team that we feel we will do
well against, I don't take players
who have night classes."
Despite their respective talents,
Genovese and Rolon weren't
needed
against
a
Rider
University team that failed to
challenge in a single or doubles
match the entire day. Their pres-
ence will certainly be
necessary
in
the
near
future
,
however, as
the next two weekends each fea-
ture
huge tournaments.
According to Smith, this week-
end is the massive Omni
Regional at
Dartmouth
in
New
Hampshire
which features teams,
"from Maine to Virginia."
"We will be competing with
the
likes
of Virginia Tech,
Penn
State
and Harvard," Smith said.
Although each participating
team is guaranteed one singles
player
and a doubles pair, Smith
said he
is
hopeful
to field two
doubles teams.
Earlier
in
the season, Marist's
top doubles team of
Leonardo
Rodriguez and Genovese
lost
in
the Connecticut
Invitational
to
teamm?tes Mark Santucci and
Rolon, meaning there are two
strong doubles
teams
from
Marist.
"It's a terrific tournament,"
he
said.

With under two minu1es

,
Kulik
tapped in the game-winning goal
to
give Marist
a
2-1 victory over
Canisius College.
Kulik said head coach
Elizabeth
Roper dir<cted her to
play closer to the net and exploit
the miscommunication of the
Canisius defense.
"My coach told me to gel up
there,
and
I
knew it was going to

Roper said Kulik's effort

"I am s

Kulik: has now scored in three
of Marist's past four games
.
KuJik
scored
her first collegiate
and
seasonal goal this year in a
2-0 victory over St. Peter's
College.
Kulik's goal gave Marist
its
fourth win of the season
,
but the
heavy rain made it d
i
fficult for
both teams to attack the net. The
game started with light drizzle,
but during the game's first ten
minutes, sheets of rain assaulted
the field and its players. The slip-
pery conditions contributed to
17
fouls for Marisl, which is a learn
high at home.
Asides from the fouls
,
the
rain
also ended many offensive spurts
for both teams due to the wet
grass. With 36 minutes left in the
second half
,
the Griffins centered
a pass from the
l
eft wing of the
Marist goal. However, the
ball
bounced away from the Canisius
forwards and rolled to the right
wing of Marist's zone; Marist

Kulik said the persistent rain
influenced the momentum of the
game.
"There is a lot of slipping," she
said.
"It
definitely detennines a
lot of things in the game: the
bounce of the ball
,
and the ball
skips a lot. You just have to get
your body belund ii."
Although the wet conditions
plagued
both
teams
,
Roper said
the team did not change their
game plan.
"You just
