first spectacularly beauti-
ful day of spring was disrupted
in equally spectacular fashion
last Wednesday afternoon.
A blue Chevy S-10 pickup
truck with
an
unconscious driver
nudged
into the left corner of the
Lowell
Thomas
Communications Center facade,
causing a quarter of the glass
entrance to come crashing down.
The
crash occurred during
Marist's activity period, when
students typically are not in aca-
demic buildings, at around 12:30
p.m.
The driver, 64-year old
exterminator Milton Joseph, was
sent to St. Francis Hospital with
a minor hand inj1,1Ty and was dis-
charged later that day.

The accident attracted a swarm
of onlookers, ranging from shirt-
less Frisbee aficionados to
Marist College president Dennis
Murray.
Marist spokesperson Tim
Massie said he came from his
Fontaine office to find. out what
had happened. He said that the
timing of the accident probably
saved lives.
"We just call him when we get
different problems," said Dillon.

Green Committee seeks pollutant-free energy system
By

Marist has the chance to help
the env
i
ronment while improv-
ing the college at the same time.
The Green Committee has coa-
lesced to convince Marist to
replace a percentage
_
6f their fuel
consumption each year with
electricity from wind energy. By
doing so
,
the college would con-
serve natural resource
s
, reduce
the output of
'
solid waste, and
over time, decrea
s
e its energy
bill.
The first company the Green
Committee has dealt with is
Community Energy, Inc. Their
program, NewWind Energy
,
is a
renewable energy te
c
hnology
that produces el
e
ctricity with no

fuel or pollution.
Patrick Bean, one of the heads
of the committee, has been walk-
ing around campus with his
team, gathering signatures to
show the Marist administration
that the students are willing to
pay 10 dollars more in tuition per
semester to implement the ener-
gy switch.
"I
don't think there is much risk
in buying wind energy since it is
a reliable source of energy that is
good for the environment," Bean
said. "Plus we are not taking
money from the budget ·or other
programs; our group is essential-
ly fundraising $80,000 for the
school to invest in.energy."
Along with the wind energy
proposal, the committee is trying
to get Marist to consider con-
structing environmentally safe
buildings, caUed green or LEED
buildings (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design), as it
continues to expand the school.
The construction of LEED
buildings
interests and gave the Marist
community an opportunity to do
something significant.

reflected

Only a few other schools have

bought into the wind energy
trend, and Marist would be the
only school switching over

notable, and would make Marist

satd. "This is a great opportunity

"I was just wal

Vincelette said.
The accident was similar to one
that occurred on February 11 by the
Main Gate, when a white sedan's
driver suffered a seizµre, causing the
car to plow through an iron fence
before vaulting onto a parked car via
a large rock.
Honkala, who works for the traffic
division of the Poughkeepsie Police
Department
,
said that many automo-
bile accidents are caused by medical
emergenc
i
es.
"
[The February 11 accident] was
with an elderly woman who ended
up dying," he said. "It's just kind of
coincidental, and it happens more
often than you think ..

there's a lot

ration of Pope's achievements obscures blunders

By
IGOR VOLSKY
Staff Writer
The passing of the pope John
Paul II has led to an outpouring
of world emotion. Iconic-like
devotion portrayed the pope as a
flawless global leader and has
cost him his humanity. While the
pope's accomplishments are note-
worthy, his shortcomings provide
critical insight.

By 1989, El Salvador, a postage
stamp size country in Latin
America was engulfed in a brutal
civil war between Salvadorian
government forces and leftist
opposition groups. The conflict
was fueled by peasant frustration
over the growing disparity of
wealth that stemmed from the
country's agricultural practices.
Coffee cultivation, which domi-
nated the Salvadoran economy
from
ffie
latter half of the 19th
century, subsidized the land-own-
ing oligarchy but forced the
majority of the Salvadorian pop-
ulation off their land and into
poverty. By the 20th century,
only two percent of the land-
owning population controlled El
Salvador's wealth, and most citi-
zens lived as poor agricultural
workers. In the 1930s economic
conditions deteriorated further.

After six years at the Post,
Adams found a job as a film
critic at US Weekly. Now she
sees three to five movies a
week, mostly mainstream, and
writes shorter reviews.
"There are certain movies
·
I
don't look forward to . . . [but
it's] still a great job, it's fun,"
she said.
According to Adams, the key
to writing a good review is to
tell a little about. the plot, lead-
ing the reader to the crisis. It's
important
not t9 "give away the
ending or twists," she contin-
ued, "most [critics] tell too

said.
"Sometimes

When asked what movies she

described she has a "pretty

recommends
"Lost

and
"Eternal

Schindler's List.
Adams describes her own
voice as "funny, direct, [with]
no bullshit and not arrogant.
This is what I think-take it or
leave it, [I'm] tough but fair."
Now that Adams is at US
Weekly, her writing is "a lot
softer and to the point," than it
used to be.
Highlighting her straightfor-
ward personality was the fact
that she used no notes during
the lecture.
"[You must have] strong opin-
ions, the writing [ must be]
'
interesting, entertaining, funny,

aspiring critics.
When she thinks of her job,
she told us, she thinks, "this is

Shiavo controversy questions ethics of euthanasia

surfaced by euthanasia include the fact
that the practice would not only be for

that

Recently, a report published by doc-

common practice of infant euthanasia in

According to the
report, "the most common means of
infant euthanasia was the withholding of
treatment bec;ause physicians believed

or the baby had no chance of a bearable

Towler's four-run feat highlights series win over Jaspers
By
ANTHONY OLIVIERI
Staff Writer
The Marist College baseball
team won two out of three games
against the Manhattan Jaspers in
a weekend series against their
Metro
Atlantic
Athletic.
Conference (MAAC) rivals in
Riverdale, N.Y.
The two teams split a double-
header on Saturday aftemodn as
Manhattan starter Chris Cody
pitched a complete game shutout
for the Jaspers in the first game
'
of the twin bill.
Cody
scattered
four hits, and
issued four walks, while striking
out seven in Manhattan's 8-0 vic-
tory.
The Jaspers broke a scoreless
tie in the fourth inning as Nick
Derba singled and he eventually
scored due to a double by sopho-
more Nunzio Franzese.
Franzese then came around to
score on a wild pitch and a
passed ball to make the score
2-
0.
Clean-up hitter
John
Fitzpatrick
hit a
towering two-run homerun
to center field in the sixth inning,
which was his
fourth
of
the
sea-
son.
Marist pitching would struggle
again in the seventh as sopho-
more reliever Bobby Hastry
walked to load the bases. Matt
Rizzotti singled home a run, and
Fitzpatrick picked up another
RBI with a sacrifice fly.
The
Jaspers had
11 hits on the
day. Derba led the
Jaspers
with a
three-hit, one RBI performance
while Fitzpatrick led the Jaspers
with 3 RBIs in the game along
with two hits. Rizzotti had two
hits with one RBI, and Franzese
matched Rizzotti in hits while
also scoring twice.
Erik Supplee (2 .. 2) went five-
plus innings for the Red Foxes
giving up four runs on seven hits.
The second game featured
MAAC Pitcher of the Week
Chris Tracz, who started for the
Red
Foxes.
Tracz (3-3) went all seven
innings of the game, -which was
shortened due to impending
darkness. Tracz allowed one
run
on three hits in a
spectacular
pitching performance.
However, he escaped a jam in
the second inning as he loaded
the bases with nobody out.
'fracz induced a groundball
double-play and an inning-~nd-
ing
come-backer
to limit the
Jaspe~s to only one run.
The Red Foxes scored all three
of their runs in the fourth inning
on the strength of a Justin Lepore
RBI
single,
and a two-run home-
run
by Joe Sargent that stayed
just fair down the left-field line.
After his struggles in the sec-
ond inning, Tracz
retired
11
Jaspers
in a row until John
Maser
reached
on an infield single in
the sixth
inning that glanced off
ofTracz's foot and trickled away.
Another double play aided in
Tracz's stellar performance, and
that
eventually
led
to
Manhattalt's shut down for the
'rest of
the
contest.
The two teams would meet
again for the rubber game of the
three game set on Sunday, Apr.
10.
The Red Fox offense exploded
for 19 runs and 23 hits to defeat
Manhattan by the score of 19-6.
Marist used an
11-run
fifth
inning to blow open a close
game, in which the Red Foxes
held onto a one-run lead.
Marist sent 13 batters to the
plate, and went through three
Manhattan pitchers in an impres-
sive offensive onslaught.
Sophomore Nick Derba hit two
homeruns for Manhattan and was
3,4 with four RBIs and three
runs
scored.
Jonathan Smith (2-J) pitched a
complete game for Marist,
allowing five earned runs on
eight hits, and Jesse Darcy took
the loss for the Jaspers, lasting
only four innings.
It was a team effort for Marist
as all 11 men that played got a hit
and l 0 of the 11 drove in a run.
Travis Musolf and Pat Feeney
each had four-hit games, and
Justin Lepore had a game-high
three RBI.
After the three-ga19e set, the
Red Foxes improved their record
