Colonel James M. Johnson,

feels that Poughkeepsie is the
perfect place to house this exhib-

"Alexander Hamilton walked
the stage of history at the
Courthouse in Poughkeepsie, the
capital of New York, as the New
York State Convention consid-
ered the ratification of the
Federal Constitution," he states.
''Poughkeepsie is a fitting place
for the residents of the Hudson
River Valley National Heritage
Area to become reacquainted
with their Constitutional
h
istory
and the life and contributions of
one of the Founding Fathers,
Secretary of Treasury Alexander

Alumni Marist Fund aims to attract greater participation

With the importance of the par-
ticipation rate of alwns growing
across the nation, Marist is mak-
ing strides with its Alumni
Marist Fund for 2006.
In U.S. News
&

Marist up in the ranks of the

anking.'' A
higher ranking for Marist gives
r
ecogn
it
ion of being an outstand-
ing libera
l
ans college, said the
fund's website.
Each year, the people running
the Marist Fund eva
l
uate the pre
-
vious year's performance and
contributions received, and set
goals based on that information.
"Scheduling was about the
same as last year," said Jeanine
Thompson, directo

of annual

" said Thompson.
"We have added several addi-
tional Phonathon sessions for
both the fall and spring semes-
ters. The overall Marist Fund
goal is increased over last year.
The 2006 Marist Fund goal is
$1.4
million."
Marist wants to
i
ncrease its
rat-
ings, according to the alumni
w1;:bsite, in order to "attract even
more high-qua
l
ity students; con-
tinue to recruit outstanding fac-
ulty; and improve key programs,
while increasing financial sup-
port
from foundations, corpora-
tions, and other donors."
Thompson said Mari st 's mis-
sion is to "help student develop
the
intellect and character
required for enl
i
ghtened, ethical
,
and productive lives in the glob-
al comntunity of the 21st cellffl'I'

faculty; providing the highest
quality education and tools for
learning; attracting the best and
brightest students to Marist; and
for our students, it's plain and

" said Thompson. "We

in The Cabaret. Posters announc-

Gart

charge of planning the Sno Ball.
She said she wanted to organize
an event

"The Sno Ball was a fresh and

said Peters.
With 150 tickets sold, the Sno
Ball bad a better-than-expected

Ball souvenirs were included in
the ticket price
,
which was 30

.
The event

Junior Christie Melton was
crowned Sno Queen. She was
also the winner of the iPod.
Junior Brian Hodge was chosen
to be Sno King
.
Freshman Caryn Shatraw was
among the attendees. She said

to France.
This group, as
a
whole, is one of the poorest in
the country, with
an
extremely
high unemploymen
t
rate. Severe
economic disadvantages, howev-
er, are not the only motivations
see
as
status quo. France is a
country that is much olde
r
than
our own (re
l
atively} young
nation. When
it
comes to immi-
gra1ion
p
ol
i
cy and the infiltration
and breakdown of culture, it
culture is founded on the
assimi-
lation and blending of different
cultures, resulting in the p
r
over-
bial
'
melt
i
ng pot.' In France, this
is not so. Rather than wanting to
accept all cultures and add them
to the French identity, the French
reject the meld
i
ng of their own
society with those of immigrants.
France, due to its long history
includ
in
g
n
umerous conflicts,
carries baggage in relation to its
national and cult
u
ra
l
identity,
and thus immigrat
i
ng to France
comes with a catch.
Granted
,
immigrating to the
United States
i~
not necessari
l
y
easy, but time has shown that by
becoming an American, it is not
essentia
l
to lose your former
and your language. We
are
truly
an immigrant nation, and our
society is constant
l
y adapt
i
ng,
s
h
ifting, cha
n
ging to form a
strong~r sense of commo
n
ality
among us. Ame
ri
ca has
h
ad
i
ts
share of tensions between the
varying ethnicities in American
society, but on the whole .:Ve
embrace d
i
fference and change
.
In France
,
however, it is fine if
you decide to become French,
but, s'il vous plait, do not try to
incorporate your native c
u
sto
m
s
into estab
li
s
h
ed Frenc
h
society.
The
r
efore
,
as the riots in France
have demonstrated, there has
been major backlash towards this
ethnocentric attitude.

'Real-life Hitch' offers real-life advice for dating
By
ANGELA
DE FINI
Staff Writer
"Never
let anyone take your
power." This bit of advice was
echoed throughout the PAR
Thursday, Nov.
17
when David
Wygant
spoke
at his
"What's
Your Excuse? Social Dating with
the Rea1 Life Hitch"
lecture
.
Wygant is recognized
as
the
world's foremost dating authori-
ty.
David
has directly affected
the lives of thousands of people
in
many countries with bis books
and audio courses, public-speak-
ing engagements, one-on-one
coaching, and
media
appear-
From Page Four
ances. For more
than
IO years,
Wygant has served as an advisor
to
actors,
celebrities, multi-mil-
lionaires and everyday people on
how to transform the
quality
of
their lives by meeting ''that spe-
cial someone."
His book,
"Always Talk to Strangers," aims
to help readers
strip
away faulty
philosophies and theories they
have adopted over
the
yem and
replace
them
with realistic, pro-
ductive methods that will help
them achieve what they really
want
-
companionship.
Wygant's
lecture
kept the audi-
ence interested in and comfort-
able about a seemingly awkward
topic.
Beginning with telling
students to walk
s
lowly
into a
room instead of "running with
your
bead
down, eyes on the
floor," Wygant went on to
encourage guys and girls to be
themselves, be natural, and
be
confident. He went on to say that
anything can be a conversation
starter
-
"That's a really inter-
esting ring, where did you get
it?", ..
I
see you are wearing a
Marist sweatshirt, what are you
studying
there
?" -
the easiest
thing for anyone
to
talk about is
themselves, because they know
themselves the best.
Picking
people from the audi-
ence,
Wygant mediated role
playing activities that put mem-
bers
of
the
opposite sex in com-
mon
situations
where they might
feel too awkward to talk to
"the
one they are crushing on," such
as before class or at a coffee
shop.
Senior Kerri Dempsey
was
selected
to
"make
an
impres-
sion" on a guy 30 seconds before
class
starts,
Ending her 30 sec-
onds with "So, do
you
want to
get together sometime to do the
homework?" Wygant called her
"gutsy," saying
that that sort of
s
tatement
would be every guy's
dream
for
him
to get to know
a
girl better. He also squashed the
rumor that guys only talk to girls
with the motive
to
sleep with
them.
"Men
want to talk to
women, get to know them as
people and start meaningful rela-
tionships
with
them
as
much as
women
do,"
he
said.
By keeping the audience
involved through lots of ques-
tion-and-answer and role play-
•
ing, Wygant definitely kept the
crowd's interest.
Senior Brooke
Hiethoff
said
that Wygant's
pr
ese
ntation
was
appealing because of bis credi-
bility and positive attiJ;ude.
"David
was a genuine speaker
who really cared about the self-
confidence of the students

versation,

Dempsey said that Wygant's

raged
her to

as well.
"I

Their songs are too long to be

seeing

some
of

of
the

is
one that the United States
must avoid in its own current

The only question,
then, becomes what the nature

in the past, blend into this cul-

Or,
will

Whittington's 25 game points overpower Lafayette
BY
JOE FERRARY
Staff Wr~er
Junior Will Whittington scored
25 points including six first half
three-pointers to
lead
Marist to a
92-84 victory over Lafayette
last
Saturday in Easton, Pa.
AJI
five of the Marist starters
scored in double figures
includ-
ingjunior James Smith and Jared
Jordan who each scored 21
points.
Carl Hood and Ryan Stilphen
each added
IO
points.
Head coach Matt Brady said
Marist's balanced scoring attack
helped to improve the Red Foxe1
record to 2-1.
"Night in and night out, we
never
know who is going to lead
us
in
scoring
,
" he said. "I am
perfectly fine
havini
our starters
score 89 of our 92 points
.
We
have a lot of good players, and
.
all of them can score."
The Red Foxes got off to a fast
st~
by
shooting 59.3 percent in
the first half while building a 19-
point lead
,
42-24
,
with a
Whittington
three pointer
at the
6:16
mark.
Whittington shot 60 percent
from behind the arc and has been
encouraged by the coaching staff
to
shoot at
his
own will.
''We do have some set plays for
Whittington to take a three-
pointer
,
"
Brady
said. "However,
since we
run
a motion offense
,
it
is hard for teams to guard
Whittington, and we give him
the green light to shoot when he
wants too."
Lafayette
closed the first half
on a 21-2
run
to take a one point
lead
,
45-44,
at
halftime
.
L'afayette was
lead
by guard Pat
Betley's 25 points, 20 of which
were scored
in
the first half.
The Red Foxes and Leopards
traded baskets to open the sec-
ond half until Smith hit a free
throw at the 13:
11
mark to tie the
game at 57.
In
addition to his 21
points
,
Smith also chipped
in
with three blocked shots.
Smith has been a very valuable
asset to the Red Foxes since
transferring from Westchester
Community Coll~ge.
"Smith is
a
very talented play-
er," Brady said. "In addition to
his ability to play the
post,
Smith
can
also shoot the ball, and he
will continue to get better as the
year goes on."
The Leopards were
never
able
to regain
the
lead
after the
Smith
free
throw and the game ended
with a 92-84 Red Foxes victory.
The Red Foxes will be in action
Friday for their Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC)
opener at Manhattan Co!ICge.

last
weekend, defeating
two schools from the Metro

the
Red Fox effect, dropping 245-86.
With
these
wins,
Marist
improved
its
record
to
6-1 over-
all and 4-1 in MAAC play.
Sophomore diver Devon
O'Nalty said that this particular
meet helped the team prepare for
the MAAC tournament.
"Since the
tournament
took
place at Loyola, it gave the
team
a chance to get used to the pools
and boards," he said.
"For
divers, it allowed us
to
get
used
to spotting certain things on our
dives. As for swimmers, they got
used to the starting blocks, the
direction of the
lanes,
and how
much time before races they
have to wann up."
The star for the Marist swim-
ming squad was senior Joe
Pilewski.
He won the
I
00
breaststroke (59.22), the 200 but-
terfly (1:56.60), the 200 breast-
stroke (2: 10.11 ), and the 200
individual medley (1:57.08).
Pilewski also had victories with
relay teams, helping to wirt the
200 medley relay (1:37.71) with
Kevin Connors, Rashad Sutton,
and Pat Collins, as well as the
800 freestyle relay (7:07.78)

red-shirting 2004-05 season, Dahlman fills low-post void left

ByGABE PERNA
Staff Writer
After transferring from Holy
0:ross and red-shirting the 2004-
2005 campaign, red-shirt sopho-
more Meg Dahlman has official-
ly arrived.
The 6'3 starting forward on the
woman's basketball team
has
burst her way onto the scene
early on in
her
initial season with
·
the Foxes. Dahlman, who has
started all seven of the Red
Foxes• games
,
has made a huge
impact
She

Conference (MAAC) in scoring,

and seventh

,More important than those stats
is
the
void she
has
filled left by
the departed Kristin Keller.
Dahlman said she attributes
Keller
,
who she practiced with
and against all of last year, to
some of her success.
"She's taught me to be
a
force
down
low
and lo be dominant
,
"
she said. "As well as being vocal
on the court, and getting every-
one into it and get everyotte
going."
Along with playing beside
Keller during her red-shirt sea-
son
last
year, Dahlman aJso had a
chance to play alongside another
dominant MAAC post player in
Fifi Camara. Not only
did
she
fonn a friendship with Camara
,
Dahlman
learned
a lot from the
MAAC preseason player of the
year.
"Me and Fifi were roommates
last year, so we always talked
over
the
games and talk strate-
gies," she said. "And basically
I
had to guard her all post-season
,
so playing against her and play-
ing with her makes me a better
player and everyone around her a
better player."
Dahlman said early on in the
pr'eseason she was slightly sur-
prised that she was thrust
into
the
proverbial spotlight, but she
half-expected it. Coach Brian
Giorgis had· told her she was
going to have to ~tep up and fill
the
roll
of Keller.
"During the pre-season, we had
individual meetings,
so
it wasn't
a complete shock;
like it
wasn't
like
I
was told two days before
the -Uconn
'
game
I
was
going to
start," she said.
"In
a sense,
I
was
eased into it. Coach told me in
the preseason
r
was expected to
fill
the roll
of Keller and become
the roll player that she was."
Being thrust into action in your
first season with a team is chal-
lenging for anyone, but undoubt-
edly Dahlman faced a stronger
challenge playing against some
of Marist
'
s early season foes.
The Red Foxes opened
the
sea-
son al
Uconn
,
and then played
Villanova
,
the University ofNew
Mexico, and then Idaho.
Dahlman, however
,
said she
was not intimidated by the mag-
nitude of playing against elite
Division
I
teams. She said she
saw them as any other game and
that Marist had a lot
less
to lose
than their opponents did.
A
less motivated player might
not have taken that task tooth
and nail. Nonetheless, Dahlman
comes from
a
family where com-
petition is huge. Her brother

Dahlman said her brother
has
been a motivating factor
in
her
success over her athletic career.
"We're pretty competitive with
each other," she said
.
"He's four
years older than me
so
he
went
through
high
school before me.
He earned a bunch of sectional
patches
and all tournament
teams, so
he
was always
nagging
at me, motivating me to match
his totals."
Dahlman said her brother

chase will help spark the regional devel-
opment of wind fanns in upstate New
York.
Currently students from around the
United States and Canada are participat-
ing
in
the "Campus Climate Challenge,"
an ambitious effort to cut university
emissions by 90 percent in 50 years, or 2
percent per year over the next 45 years.
"If
we are to secure a safe future, my
generation cannot afford to wait for the
Bush
ad.ministration any longer," Lezgus
said.
"The world
'
s
top
scientists are
warning us that emissions must peak and
decline in this decade id order to avoid
the
most dangerous impacts of global
wanning. The policies currently being
considered wouldn't even come close to
achieving reductions of
that
scale. We
need to use
American ingenuity
to
bold-
ly transition
to
a new energy future
,
now."
Jared Duval,
national director of the
Sierra Student Coalition, said
that
America iss capable of doing much more
than
it is
now
to
improve the
environ-
ment.
"America
has
the solutions today
to
curb global warming emissions, and we
could start implementing them
tomorrow
if only we had
the political
will,"
he
said.
"Using
·
existing gas-stving
technologies,
we can make our cars, pickup trucks and
SUVs go farther on a gallon of gas, We
can use energy efficient technology to
cut the energy use of lighting, heating,
cooling and other industrial
processes.
And we can accelerate the replacement
of dirty, coal-fired power plants with
clean,
renewable
energy sources
like
wind, solar power and cleaner
burning
natural gas."
Duval also said that
it
was not technol-
ogy that
limited
environmental progress,
but rather the obstacles posed by politics.
"It
is no
longer true that
the
barriers
to
progress
for a
clean
and efficient energy
future are technical,"
he
said. "Now
the
barriers are only political. Tim Lezgus'
participation
in
this conference
is
help-
ing to hold our leaders accountable
,
and
is
makjng
them understand how their
inaction today sells short the promise of
tomorrow.'s generations."

"A

port Marist." he said. "The addi
