President George W. Bush
accepted the withdrawal of
Supreme
Court
Justices
Nominee, Harriet Miers after she
cracked
under the tremendous
pressure of
conservat
i
ve and lib-
erals.
According
to
CNN.com, Miers
withdrew her nomination after
she received heavy opposition
from conservatives and liberals
about her lack of qualifications
and records.
Many conserva-
tives and liberals were unsure on
where Miers stood on many hot-
button issues such as abortion.
Miers removed herself, just
two weeks before the Senate
confirmation
hearings
were
scheduled.
This confirmation
process would prove to be very
difficult for M
i
ers, since no one
knew where she stood on any
issues because she always
wo
r
ked in private practices,
Just four days after Miers with-
drew from the Supreme Court
nomination, Bush
n
ominated
Samuel Alita, a IS-year· veteran
of the Philadelphia-based Third
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a
conservative jprist.
"[Miers was] concerned that
the confirmation process pres-
ents a burden for the White
House and its staff and is not in
the best i
n
terest of the country,"
said CNN.com.

said Kovacs.
Miers had held a wide variety
of private practices positions
including Bush's personal attor-
ney
in Texas, chairman of the
Texas Lottery Commission, and
a partner at the Texas Law firm
of Locke, Liddell and Sapp.
Most recently, she has been the
White House coW1sel as well as
White House deputy chief of
staff.

tant quality for a Supreme Court
Justice.

lic office such as a Circuit
Judge," said
Kovacs, "her
stances on many political issues
are not known."
The stance of Kovacs on Miers
public office is echoed in an arti-
cle written by Time.com.
"She has no judicial resume
and hasn't left a long trail of
noteworthy memos, briefs, oral
argument transcripts or law jour-
nal articles," said Time.com.
Assistant Professor, political
science,
Lynn
Eckert, Ph.D., also
agrees with the comments of
Kovacs and Time.com
in
that
Miers was a at a huge disadvan-
tage by not holding any public
office and by not being pub
l
ished
in any scholarly journals.
"What is more problematic to
me is that none of her papers are
published because she is more
priv
i
leged because her opinions
can be kept behind Bush's
doors," said Eckert.
This nomination was critical
for the Bush Administration
because the president had lost
some vital support in the
Repub
l
ican Party, especially
among conservatives.
President Bush will now have
to
see if his next nomination,
Samuel Alito,
can
withstand this
grueling p
r
ocess.

It's laundry day for Rep. Tom
Delay and not
h.
ing
looks
clean.
A Texas grand jury led by pros-
ecutor Ronnie Earle, recently
indicted Delay R-Texas, on
charges of money lawidering and
conspiracy that could result in
life
in
prison. The fonner House
Majority Leader temporarily
resigned
because of those
charges. This event has left the
Bush administratio
n
scrambling
for support in Congress, and the
ramifications of this indictme
n
t
are still uncertain.
De
l
ay is charged with illegally
transferring $190,000 in corpo-
rate funds
in
2002.
The funds
were reallocated into the cam-
paigns of Republicans running
for the Texas Legis
l
ature. De
l
ay
originally escaped these charges
on a technicality, but came under
scrutiny once again in March
2005.
Reports surfaced that he
had accepted funds from lobbyist
Jack Abramoff to pay for travel
expenses.
Igor Volsky, radio personality
and political science major at
Marist College referred to
Delay's actions as reprehensible.

Plame investigation casts light on Libby,
Rove
By
JAMES
MARCONI
Staff Writer
Two years. That's amount of
time in which a federal investiga-
tion into the aUeged
outing of
CIA
employee
Valerie
Plame
was conducted.
For
those
of you
not familiar
with
the
specifics of
the
investigation, let me
give you
a
brief
overview.
This
all
began
back
in
2003,
when columnist Robert Novak
wrote
an
article
in
which
the
identity
of Valerie
Plame, an
employee of the CIA, was
dis-
closed as such.
The story
touc
h
ed off a
federal
investiga-
tion
led by
Special
Prosecutor
Patrick Fitzgerald
to
detennine
if
there
had
been a deliberate gov-
ernment
leak
of the identity of
this "covert agent," and
if
so,
who
was
responsible
for
divulging
this classified informa-
tion to
Novak and other
members
of
the press.
Brought
before a federal grand
jury were
Karl
Rove, President
Bush's
deputy chief
of staff, and
1.
Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice
President Cheney's chief of staff.
Both were questioned about their
knowledge of Plame, and
their
discussions of
her
with Novak,
Tim Russett of
Meet the Press,
Judith Miller of
the
New York
nmes,
and Matthew Cooper of

Rwnors flew

There have been serious ques-

this investigation about whether
or not Valerie Plame was, in fact,
covert.
Assertions have been
made that she was working a
desk job at Langley when Novak
wrote his story.
This
really is
quite central to the whole issue,
because
if
Plame was not a
covert operative for the ClA,
than there was never any "secret"

five counts,

A former National Security

A South

The
U.S.
policy on human embryonic

research states that
it

researchers to use federal funds
to
create
or purchase human
stem

lines. federal funds can be, however,
used for research on the

created
before the
policy was instituted. Federal funds are
also available to researchers
working
with
adult human, animal, umbilical
cord and
placental
stem
cells.
Scientists
that wish to do business with the South
Korean
laboratory must
seek
private
funding for their
research.
In

to
federal policy,

According to

stem cells

Stem

are found in adult humans, anirna1s, pla-

in

ethical
dilemma that
aris-
es is
that to
extract stem cells from an
embryo (
essentially
a small

at
the point that
researchers
are
interested in
extracting
the
stem cells)
would be to destroy the
embryo's poten-

Scientists believe that
embryonic

have
the
most
potential to develop
into other types of
cells because these
celJs have
not

American Girl controversy, Kate Moss update, spring

By

Could American Girl
dolls
be
vehicles for
liberal propaganda
?
A Wisconsin Catholic school
planned to
hold
a funclraising
fashion show featuring the popu•
Jar
dolls along with
models
wear•
ing Jife.size
replicas of their his•
torical
wardrobes.
However, the
event was called off due to
charges
·
that the American Girl
company supports a supposedly
pro.abortion and pro•lesbian
advocacy group.
Mattel, the manufacturer of
American Girl clothing, dolls,
and books, has helped fund.raise
for Girls, Inc., formerly called
Girls Clubs of America. Girls
Inc,
a nationwide
nonprofit
organization, is dedicated to edu•
eating, encouraging, and inspir•
ing girls and celebrating girl•
hood. According to its website,
girlsinc.org, the organization
accepts
lesbian
sexuaJ orienta•
tion,
but does not
include
abor•
tion
in any of its
programs
and
services.
The American Family
Association and Pro--Life Action
League disapprove.
Frank
Malloy, the pastor at St. Luke,
said
lii
~
school cou
ld
not afford
to be associated with American
Girl and the beliefs the company
supports.
"It's a bargain we'll just have to
pass
up
... our integrity
isn
't
for
sale,"
he said.
Does this mean conservative
parents nationwide will retire
their daughters' Kirsten dolls and
reach for Bratz or Madame
Alexander creations instead? A
spokeswoman for American Girl
said the company hasn't received
any other complaints.
Meanwhile, St. Luke School in
Wisconsin will have to find some
alternative, less controversial
way to fund their new play-
ground.

The white suit
John
Lennon
wore for the infamous Abbey
Road album cover was auctioned
off online for £80,000 on
Saturday.
That's
roughly
$142,000.
Also sold was the
two.buttoned brown embroi-
dered Renamo jacket
Lennon
wore for his
Imagine
video in
1973.
The jacket was a steal at
£10,000, or $18,000. Earlier this

the runway.
The
high•profile
31 year old
Britain•bom
supermodel
checked out of a clinic in
Phoenix, Arizona this week after
an
intense
JO.day cocaine abuse
rehabilitation program.
Moss has
been
to rehab before;
she attended the Priory Clinic in
1998 and admitted to heavy
drinking and regularly getting
high before hitting the catwalk.
Apparently the program wasn't
too successful.
Moss became famous after
appearing
in a series of risque
90's ads for Calvin Klein

grances. The mother of
3

old Lila Grace, Moss infamously
posed nude while pregnant for an

fetched $6.5 million at Christie's

Moss
has been the cover girl for Allure,
Harper's Bazaar, Elle, and
Vogue. She's also modeled for
prestigious fashion
house
s
such
as Versace, Yves Saint Laurent
and Dolce and Gabbana.
Unfortunately
,
her mug has
been seen most recently below
headlines screaming about her
drug addiction.
The Daily

published pictures of Moss and

Chanel,
Burberry and H+M have subse•
quently canceled million dollar
contracts with Moss.
Fans shouldn't worry too much
about the
lost
income.
Her
waifish 5'6", 105 pound frame
earned her
an
average paycheck
of $10,000 a day during her
l
990's peak.
Besides, a short
vacation could be beneficial for
the slightly built, chain•smoking
model.
Negative publicity triggered an
investigation by UK police
,
who
arrested Doherty and reportedly
interrogated the musician for
over
12
hours.
Investigator
s
found
heroin
,
Ecstasy,
LSD
and
cocaine. Doherty was released
on bail.
Meanwhile Moss, who
has
an
estimated net worth of $30 mil•

and owns
homes
in
Gloucestershire
and
North
London, is currently looking at
apartments in New York.

right o

. Both were co

and
though

that MCCTA did a great
job in produc

"MCCTA did an awesome job
with the musical.
The actors
were all incredible and truly did
just

the
ori°ginal Rocky

a

she said.
"It
was a great way to
ring
in Halloween."
Junior Phil DiVuolo agrees
with Marissa and thought the
show was a huge success.
"I
thought
,
as far as MCCTAshows
go, this was one of the best I've
seen. The actors were really pas-

it their
all, and that

in t

This was indeed one of
MCCTA's most notable perform-
ances, never failing to engage
and entertain the enthusiastic and
apprec

these talented students worked
together to produce of the best
musicals to grace the Ma

By
ALEX PANAGIOTOPOULOS

Marist College is taking a
"
wait

to
the new FCC mandat
e
to their
computer network

in the name
of

.
The mandate
,
intended for all
colleges and universities in the
United States, is an extension of
a
1994
law
called
the
Communications Assistance for

while Ma~st's

potential there."
WiUiams said that the gove
rn-
ment already has the capability
to monitor any college network,
but it requires a court order
,
installat
i
on of equipment, and a
lot of help from the school's
IT
staff.
"What
the proposal basically
does is requires us to set up a
procedure where they could do
this monitoring without us even
knowing," he said.
"It
would
potentially require a bunch of
eq
u
ipment, we'd have to auto-
mate things, or even hire addi-
tional staff to monitor it all"
Williams said there could
be
a
slippery slope for CALEA if the
Recording Industry Association
of America got involved.
"There
is
nothing
technical that
would prevent record companies
from monitoring down1oads of
pirated music [everffurther]," he
said,
"During
the spring semes-
ter we received 34 cease and
desist orders. W.e have received
subpoenas
from the
RJAA
asking
for
students'
names, so in theory,
they could be in one of the
rounds
of
students sued by
them."
B

association
with the CIA was
classified
at that time through
July
2003. And all I'll say is
that, look,
we have not
made any
allegation that
Mr.
Libby know-
ingly
,
intentionally outed a
covert agent.
"
From P
age F
iv
e
Notice
that
Fitzgerald
only
identified Plame as
classified,
not
covert.
If
Valerie Plame
[Wilson] was
truly
a
covert
oper-
ative, why
not just
come
out and
put all suspicions
to rest?
It
cer-
tainly can't be
to protect her
identity, because
aUegedly
blow-
ing her cover is what set off this
whole
mess
in
the first place! If
Plame was ever indeed
covert,
she certainly
isn't now
,
so there
really would
be
no point to with
-
holding the proof now.
Based on the infonnation avail-
able, it seems to me that this
indictment has, at best, some
serious flaws and gaping holes in
logic. Scooter Libby may well
be gu
i

Dembow and his fellow line-

Marist's offensive success, as

twice throughout the game.

The Marist men's
soccer
team
stretched
their winning streak to
four games with a
victory
over
the Siena Saints, 2-1, last
Saturday night.
In what was called
an
exciting
game
by Marist head coach
Bobby Herodes
,
the game did
not
see
a goal for the first 71
minutes until Marist's Bobby
Van
Dyke found his
way into the
18-yard box.
Once inside Van Dyke
was
able
to feed Keith Detelj with a great
pass that was
headed
past Siena
goalkeeper Patrick Henry for the
first goal of the game. and a 1-0
lead for the Red Foxes.
"Keith was hurt most of the
game with a thigh injury,"
Herodes said. "We put him in,
he
scored
the goal, and then we
took him right out."
A couple of minutes later, Luis
Andre
scored the
second
goal of
the game on
what many
de~cribed as
an odd ~coring
chance.
A Siena defender
attempted
to
play the ball to
his
own goal-
keeper but it was rocketed off the
crossbar. The ball bounced
right
to
Andre
and he put it in for
his
first career goal and eventual
game winner.
Daniel Owens got the start in

once again impressive.

The Marist women's soccer
team's quest for a Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
title came to a heartbreaking end
with
a 2-1 overtime loss to sec-
ond-ranked Niagara in the semi
finals of the MAAC tournament
held in Orlando, Fla.
The Red Foxes were ranked
sixth in the toumamertt and upset
third-seeded Siena
in
order to
play in the semi final match.
['.,tarist's post season run came to
an end when Niagara's Amber
Niece converted a penalty kick
three minutes into the first over-
time.
Going into the contest, head
coach Elizabeth Roper said the
team felt extreme
l
y confident
from the success
in
the game
prior.
"The team and I both felt very
confident from the win over
Siena," she said. "The win pro-
pelled, us and we felt very good
about going into the game with
Niagara. We knew that there was
great parity between the middle
seeds and any team from the
middle pack of the conference
could have come away with the
title."
Marist took a quick 1-0 lead
off the goal from junior Jenna
McCrory and carried that lead
into halftime.
Roper said that throughout the
first
half,
the Red Foxes domi-
nated all aspects of the game
while having an upbeat tempo.
"We had the tempo in the first
half and our confidence was
soaring without a doubt," she
said. "Perhaps a ljttle had to do
with seeing Fairfield University
upset the top-seeded Loyola, the
five time defending MAAC tour-
nament champions. We had
much more possession and we
made great connections by
switching the field and playing
quick. We definitely came out
with a purpose."
Freshman goalkeeper Anna
Case made 13 of her 15 saves in
the second half. Along with the
Marist defense, Case handled
most ofNiagara

s
scoring
threats.
The game then went into over•
time, something that the Red
Foxes were very used to.
Roper said she knew her team
had
an advantage over their
opponent.
"They
have seen overt
i
me and
know how to handle them-
selves," she said.
"We felt
ext
r
emely confident going into
the overtime and
I felt they were
doing everything right.
I could·
n't do much except to k~p the
intensity up and to just play like
we are capable of playing."
Despite p
l
aying well for 90
minutes, Marist gave up a ques-
tionable penalty kick only three
minutes into the period. Niagara this team, Roper said she feels

has a lot to do in the future as
Roper said the team and coach-
ing staff were stunned that the
call was made for what seemed
to be a collision betwee
n
two
players
in the penalty area.
"I
was just
in shock and dis-
belief that the call was made,"
she said. "It seemed that both
players collided accidentally and
both went down in the box.
I was
speechless, because everything
seemed to happen so fast."
The Marist women's soccer
team finished the season with a
5-12-2 overall record and a 3-5-l
record in the MAAC.
With the end of the season for
well.
"All of my players and even
my injured and reserves kept a
high work ethic and a positive
attitude throughout the season,"
she said. "The tournament is
what separate the contenders and
pretenders and our performance
proved that we
are a force in the
MAAC to
be
reckoned with
in
the
future. Now that we are only
graduating four seniors, we have
great youth and a bright future
ahead of us, and for me, this is a
step
in
the right direction."

Women's Basketball media guide
states boldly: (fit is to be, it's up
to we.
And while this is certainly a
clever exercise in rhyming, it is,
in the eyes of head coach Brian
Giorgis, essential.
"We're not about individual
accomplishments," Giorgis said.
"If we play as a team, those
will
come - it's a team concept here."
It
was
this
concept

play
that pirlayed itself into a 16-
game winning streak last season.
Marist, who finished at an
impressive
record
of 21-6, and
15-3
in the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC),
notched their second consecutive
regular season title in 2004-
2005.
However, the
team
saw their
season end earlier than expected,
falling to Canisius in last year's
conference championship game.
The Golden Griffins won by one
point, 60-59, before falling
in the
first round of the NCAA tourna-
ment to Duke University.
This season, the team
aims to
regroup, rebound, and add anoth-
er crisp wh.ite banner to the
crowded rafters of the Mccann
Center
gym.
And, according to
Giorgis, "Nothing has changed."
Well, certainly some things
have changed.

Red-shirt freshman Julianne
Viani
has spent over a year wait-
ing to begin her collegiate bas-
ketball career for Marist College.
After a brief stay at the
University of Rhode Island, the
fonner New York State high
school p
l
ayer of the year came
back to her hometown of
Poughkeeps
i
e to play for her for-
mer high school and Amateur
Athletic Union (AAU) coach,
Brian Giorgis.
Under NCAA rules for transfer
players. Viani could not dress for
the entire 2004-2005 season, and
was
forced
to watch from the
bench as the Red Foxes won the
Metro
Atlant
i
c
Ath
l
etic
Confe
r
eAce (MAAC) regular
season title
.
However, this Our Lady of
Lourdes High School alumnus,
who before coming to Marist had
a
l
ready worked under Coach
Giorgis, was still allowed to
practice with the team and get
better acquaint~ with Giorgis'
system.
Viani said that it was a batt
l
e to
keep practicing and wo
r
king
hard and yet, but she watched the
style of the games from the
bench as well as practicing with
tier teammates.
"Sitting
on the bench last year
taught me the value of patience.
It
was definitely hard, but I did
learn a lot," she said. "I got to
get the
system
under my belt a
whole year before I play.
I
understand t
h
ings better than I
would have if I had been rushed
through to get playing time."
Not only did this year of prac-
tice only make Viani's transition
even smoother than it n)ight have
been, but Viani did not lose a
year of eligibility.
"We get the best of both
wo
r
lds," Giorgis said.
"She's
gotten to work within the sys-
tem, and she still has four years
left."
Though it seems everything is
in place for Viani to make an
easy transition into collegiate
basketball, she, rather ironically,
will be put right to the test
against
five-time
NCAA
Champion UConn and then top-
25 ranked Villanova.

"l
can't ease my way in," she
said. "I have to come in ready to
play, and I'm going to
be really
ex.cited.
[These games) will
bring my passion back out.
It
will be a lot of
fun."
Fortunately, Giorgis said Viani
has a
l
ways been a "big-game
player" dating back to her high
school career.
"During
my last year [coaching
at Our Lady of Lourdes High
J
and her sophomore year, against
high school powerhouses like
Narbonne and Christ the King,
she
made huge plays," he said.
"Also, in her
senior
year, she
scored 30 points in her State
Championship game.
She has
big games agains
t
big teams."
ln fact,
Viani said she and
Coach Giorgis "go way back,"
even before the stellar guard was
in high school.
"[Gio

school and AAU," she said.
"Plus,
my older sister (Jenna]
went to Lourdes and played
under him too, so I've known
him a long time and I feel com-
fortable 3round him," she said.
Interestingly enough, Jenna
Viani plays for Villanova, one of
Marist's
early
opponents.
Julianne said that she and her
sis-
ter are looking forward to the
challenge.
..
That Villanova game will
be
strange,
but fun,"
she said.
"[Jenna and I] joke about it all
the time, and l'm
sure
my mother
will
be sort of tom."
While Viani said the two
games against Big East powers
will likely bring out her passion
for the game of basketball,
Giorgis said he and his staff are
excited to see her
shooting.
'The b
i
ggest thing she brings
to this team is the ability to
shoot,"
he said. "She makes us a
better team because she has
point-guard and
2-guard
quali-
ties."
Viani joins a very talented
back-court
which
already
includes juniors Shannon Minter
and Alisa Kresge,
sophomore
Nikki Flores, and
senior
Kristen
Vilardi.
Giorgis said not only will
Marist be deep at the guard posi-
tion this
season,
but also for the
next three to four years.
"We've
got not just quality
players, but a lot of depth at the
guard position," he said.
"We
feel we are the deepest at guard
in the MAAC."
Joining an
already
talented
team,
Viani
said she hopes to
contribute to the team in any way
she can.
''I
will play with all my heart,"
she said. "I'll
be looking to play
well, shoot well, and bring some
fire to the team."
