Video-game producer will
discuss genre's development
By
KATE GIGLIO
Managing Editor
This Tuesday, October 4,
the
Marist College Honors
Program
will offer the
opportunity
to hear
a producer at one of the top
video-game companies speak
about the escalating position that
these games hold
in
the
American
entertainment hierar-
chy. The lecture will take place
al
7
p.m. in the Henry Hudson
Room on the third floor of
Fontaine Hall.
John Zurhellen is a producer at
Rockstar Games, the company
that manufactures
such popular
video games as
the
Grand Theft
Auto series.
His
lecture
will
focus, he said, on ''the i~rcasing
prominence
of
video games in
the emertainrnen1 of America,
and how they are taking on the
qualities of filmmaking to
become bigger and better."
Zurhellen said that bis lecture
should appeal
to
those who are
studying other entertainment
mediums, because video games
are constantly being improved
to
the point where they are as
advanced as these mediums.
ny want
to
show Marist students
the
burgeoning
field
of video
game production, and how so
many different creative people
from different fields come
together
to
make a video game,"
he said.
..Students
who
are inter-
ested in film and television
should not disregard video
games."
The world of video games,
Zurhellcn noted. is still relatively
young compared to the other
fields that focus on graphic and
digital design,
and
that anyone
wbo wanted to get involved in
video games could essentially be
part of the formation of
an entire
genre of entertainment.
"lt
is
a
medium
still
in its infant
stages,"
he
said, "and the writers,
actors, artists
and
photographers
are
just
as
vital as the program-
mers
to
shape where it is head-
ed."
Besides discussing the devel-
opment of video game market,
Zurhcllen will also talk about the
nuances of the actual production
of them, which he said
is
very
involved.
•
"The plot, the script, the dia-
logue, the
use
of actors in

artwork, and photography are all

Though Rockstar Games has
recently found itself awash in a
media spotlight because of accu-
sauoos that the ''mature" content
of its
games is too violent and

topic will not be an aspect of his
lecture. However, he will answer

Katrina is a name that brings
about an array of
emotions
throughout America, but in
Europe,
especial

in
Spain, the
emotion is one of pity and anger.
Some Spaniards view the V;S. as
a nation that
has troops killing
innocent people in another coun-
try in order to keep their own
people safe.
The Spaniards believe that the
American government was not

Evacuations were too

Dodes also shared bis songs

which he wrote not long after
quitting the Josh Dodes Band,
and powerfully closed his set
with "The On and

wrote about the nightlife
in
New
Orleans. He feels this song is
important to share with others
now
in
light of the current disas-
ter in New Orleans, to give to
hope regarding restoring the city
to its fonner state.

reshmen set Marist record at meet at Iona College
By
ERIC ZEDALIS
Staff
Writer
Dating back to Marist men's
cross country program's first
year
in
1963
,
only eight runners
have
run the five-mile Van
Cortlandt
Park
course under the
26-minute mark.
On Saturday the Red Foxes had
two runners finish
in under that
time, and both were freshmen.
Ginna Segni and David Raucci
became the first two freshmen
in
school Wstory to break
the
26-
minute mark in the same race on
this course as they paced Marist
to a 10th-place showing out of
J
25 teams at
the
Iona College
Meet of Champions.
Segni finished 29th in 25:42.7,
and Raucci was 38th in 25:49.7.
The two freshmen now own the
sixth and eighth fastest times,
respectively, in
the
school's his-
tory on the course'.
Head Coach Pete Colaizzo said
Segni and "Raucci really carried
the
team, and
he
was impressed
with hOw they both stepped up in
a competitive meet.
"[Segni. and Raucci] were
tremendous in their first time at
Van Cortlandt," Colaizzo said.
"Two of the teams in this meet
are
in
the top-ten
in•
the country,
and these two guys really hung in
there
against top-notch competi-
tion,"
The Red Foxes scored 329
points overall en-route to its
I 0th
place finish. Arkansas
,
ranked
third nationally, w9n the meet
with 20 points and Metro
Atlantic_ Athletic Conference
(MAAC} foe
Iona, ranked sixth
nationally, placed second with
77
points.
Again, Colaizzo saw a few
breakthrough performances from
his "pack runners
,
" b1,1t he would
like to see them continue
to
close
the gap between Segni and
Raucci and the rest of the team.
"Our pack guys did well
,
but
they know they need to do better.
It'S still early though
,
so it's
okay," he said. "We came into
this meet
looking
to work out
some of
the
kinks, and hopefully
we did."
Sophomore Mike Rolek
(114th). junior Matt Syzmaszek
(125th) both set
personal-record
times and freshman Johll Keenan
also had a good first-showing,
according
to
Collaizo.
Colaizzo said that even though
Mike Rolek had bis
personal
best
time, he is capable of running a
lot
better.
"He was
running sick," he said.
"He wasn't happy with [his time]
but given the circumstances
I
thought he did a great job. Next
time he'll probably improve his
time by 30 seconds."
Syzmaszek had another break-
through
performance,
according
to
Colaizzo, who'is not at all sur-
prised
by
the junior's prowess
thus far.
"Symaszek beat his best time
by about 38 seconds, which ,is
great to
see, but not all that sur-
prising. He's been running real
well all year."
'
While Colaizzo is happy with
how the team is coming along so
far, he says be would still
like to
tighten
up
some more.
"The next couple weeks we're
going to work them hard. We're
pleased, but there's sti!J a lot of
Work to do."
