tiolocaust
·survivor
gives message of faith
By KATE
GIGLIO
A&E Editor
Holocaust survivor Kuba Beck
visited Marist College Tuesday
to deliver a message of tolerance
and faith in humankind.
The college's 14th annual
Holocaust
Remembrance
Program took place the evening
of Apr. 20. The title of the pro-
gram was "Saved by Schindler:
The Stoty of Two Survivors."
Beck's oration was the high-
light of the program, in which he
told the stories of he and his wife
Helen's
survival
of
the
Holocaust.
The evening also fea-
tured poetry readings from stu-
dents, a musical performance,
and an opening address by the
college's
president,
Dennis
Murray.
Murray said he was
app~eciative of Beck's atten-
dance at the college.
"Thank you for telli_ng us your
story," Murray said.
After
·
Murray welcomed the
crowd of over 200 student~, fac-
ulty and other guests, Marist stu-
dents Matthew Doran, Timothy
Griffin, and Nicole Nolting each
read poems they had written
about the Holocaust.
Joshua Kotzin, program plan-
ning committee member and
coordinator of Marist's
Jewish
Studies program, said he felt
having students share their work
was especially meaningful.
''The students who contributed
poems -
I thought that was real-
.
ly powerful to hear their artistic
interpretations of the Holocaust,"
Kotzin said.
Planning
committee member
Steve Sansola also said he
thought the inclusion of students'
personal compositions enhanced
the program.
"It was very appropriate to
have students recite their own
works
reflecting
on
the
Holocaust," he said.
The Marist College Band then
performed "Hymn for the Lost
and Living," an instrumental
piece composed by Marist alum-
nus Eric Ewazen '02, originally
in memoriam of the Sept. 11
attacks on America.
After the
musical performance, Kotzin
introduced Beck, who also spoke
on behalf of his wife due to her
recent stroke. Kotzin welcomed
and thanked Beck for coming,
and read a quote by Primo Levi.
"It happened, therefore it can
happen again," Kotzin said.
Beck spoke of his removal
from his home in Krakow,
Poland,
and the journey to his
eventual destination of Oskar
Schindler's camp. According to
Beck, Schindler did everything
he could to make the prisoners'
lives more bearable. Beck said·
he was extremely fortunate to
have ended up with Schindler.
'1'his was my lucky day," Beck
said. "We worked twelve hours a
day, but Schindler built barracks
with washrooms, and he used to
buy food on the black market to
subsidize our meals."
Beck said Schindler was self-
less in his dedication to aid the
prisoners despite their situation.
"Oskar Schindler was always
ready and willing to save some-
body," Beck said. "He made a lot
of money but he also sp~nt a lot
of money to save us. Schindler
was with us from the beginning
to the very end."
Beek said that despite his expe-
riences with hate and intoler-
ance, people must still have hope
and faith in the goodwill of

"There are always people no
matter what race or nationality,
decent people who want to be
good and help others," he said.
Beck mentioned the movie
Schindler's List. He said it was
an accurate portrayal of life with
Schindler in his camp.
"The movie Schindler's List
was very well done." Beck said.
"I

A meeting with Al Sharpton, a
panel discussion with an interna-
tional correspondent, and a trip
to ABC News were part of one
day's class lesson for a group of
communication ethics students.
According to their syllabus, it
is the job of ethics students to
examine the moral and ethical
responsibilities that people have
as participants in various com-
munication media
.
In pursuit of just that, 14 com-
munications ethics students trav-
eled to New York City with their
professor, Jamal Watson, to meet
with Reverend Al Sharpton and
talk with him about how the
media covers political figures.
Sharpton, who was a candidate
for New York State senate in
1978, United States Senate, New
York, in 1992 and 1994 and New
York City mayor in 1997. has
had a lot of experience with the
media in the past. Most recently,
he was thrust into the media
forefront, once again, as one of
nine democratic presidential
candidates in early 2004.
While the meeting with
Sharpton was not part of their
original plan, Watson, communi-
cations professor, who has
known Sharpton for several
years, invited him to speak to the
students when he learned that the
49-year-old civil rights activist
would
be
in
the
city.
According to Sharpton and
based on his recent experience,
the media still has many biases.
While the media could have
been focusing on more important
issues, Sharpton feels they were
too focused on his race. One
example he cited was media cov-
erage of his decision to stay in
the Presidential Suite at the Four
Seasons, while he was on the
campaign route through New
York City.

You got to love double meanings. Apparently
there is a dorm called Benoit on this campus. You would-
n't know it from their score this semester, but the RD
heard large amounts of noise coming from a room at
1
:05
a,m. Wedne~day. Upon further investigation the RD
caught a party of six people in the act of consuming
24
cans of Budweiser. The
RD
was tom on what to do. He
didn't want to write them up, but at the same time he did-
n't want his dorm to be in the basement of the briefs any
longer. You did the right thing.

The thought process of an idiot ... Hey guys,
I
have a great idea. You know how we smoke in our room
all the time, and we don't get caught? Well let's be adven-
turous and smoke on the grotto instead. "What in the
world is a grotto?" The grassy plateau in front of Leo and
Sheahan! Come on, follow me here! We can go out
around one o'clock. That way it's dark. Security is scared
of the dark. "First off, I can't believe you just called that
thing a grotto. Second off, you're scared of the dark too.
And third, it's already packed, so let's go!" ... To make a
long story short, security caught these morons smoking
cigarettes, and not the
tax and regulated kind, at 1:21 a.m.
The students were sent off, and a glass pipe was found.

When I
think
of the word cool, one thing comes
to mind: vandalism! The exit lights on the third and
fourth floors of Midrise were ripped· down at 11 :55 p.m.
Thursday, as well as the elevator signs on the third and
fifth floors. See, what makes that so funny is that now,
no one will be able to locate the elevators and exits on
!!!9~ f!O<?r~! All the students will be stuck! You guys are
ingenious.

Lower West Cedar got into some trouble on
Saturday. Security confiscated two kegs from a party of
seven people at 1:59 a.m. Two kegs? Did you honestly
think you were going to get away with having two kegs
in your place? Granted, that's awesome that you tried,
but at the same time not too bright. Have fun living

Sheahan even got into the drinking fun this past
week. At 4:10 p.m. one liter of vodka, one pint of
Southern Comfort, four cans of Keystone Light, and an
open pint of Captain Morgan rum were confiscated. I
mean, I can't blame all these people for trying to drink.
The weather is beautiful and all Marist wants to do is get
a little tipsy. Is that such a crime!? "Well, if you're under
21 it is." Oh
yeah.

Security ruined a day of invention for four gen-
tlemen at 4:55 p.m. Saturday. The young men created a
fully functional water balloon launcher, and after a
few
test shots, had the
·
balloons flying a good 40 yards.
Someone was apparently jealous of their sweetness and
called security on them. The officer came and confiscat-
ed the piece of equiptment. One of the students was
heard commenting, "I gotta be honest. We spent all after-
noon fabricating that launcher. And to tell you the truth,
it really broke my heart to see security take it away." I
hear you buddy, I hear you.

Nationwide silence
honors those who face discrimination
By
COURTNEY KRETZ
Managing Editor
One hundred MaristCollege stu-
dents participated in the National
Day of Silence on Wednesday,
Apr. 21 to draw attention to the
discrimination and harassment
gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-
gender youth face on a daily
basis.
These students were part of a
nationwide recognition of this
day. They took a day-long vow
of silence to protest violence arid
harassment inflicted on young
adults based on their sexual ori-
entation.
Sara Stevens, president of the
Marist College Lesbian / Gay /
Straight Alliance (LGSA), said
the organization sponsored the
college's participation in t~is
event to raise awareness.
''This deliberate silence hopes
to mirror the silencing forced
upon gay,
_
lesbian, bisexual and
transgender students and their
allies, creating awareness of the
problem and an open recognition
of support," Stevens said.
Founded in 1996 by a group of
students at the Un
.
iversity of
Virginia, the Day of Silence proj-
ect has grown from a campus-
wide effort to a national event.
In 2002, approximately 100,000
students from 1,900 schools, col-
leges and universities across the
country participated in this
peaceful protest.
This is the first year Marist
College has become involved in
this observance.
Stevens said this is the first
time the school has had aproac-
tive stand on the issue.
"For a first-time effort, I was
pleased to see we had 100 stu-
dents willing to participate and
off er support," Stevens said.
"The intent is to raise awareness
of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender community here at
our school, while also taking the
firm stand that violence will not
be tolerated on our campus or in
the community."
Participants
1
wore red Day of
Silence tee shirts and handed out
index cards with an explanation
of their actions and a brief expla-
nation of the project. Students
were instructed to go about all of
their normal daily routines,
including classes, social events
and off-campus activities, while
strictly maintaining their vow of
silence.
The event was sponsored by the
Marist LGSA, but several other
Marist student clubs and organi-
zations participated, including
the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority,
Fashion Club, Marist College
Council
on
Theatre
Arts,
Psychology
Club,
Students
Encouraging
Environmental
Dedication (SEED), and the
Social Work Club. In addition to
participating, the Social Work
Club and SEED contributed to
the event financially.
Stevens said the goal is to make
people think.
"Our goal is to show our com-
munity - both on and off-campus
- that we intend to put
an
end to
the silence imposed on gay, les-
bian, bisexual and transgender
students and their families, and
to encourage everyone to
think
about the voices they don't hear
each day," Stevens said.

Student achievement was
celebrated Apr. 14 at the Dean's
List reception to honor students
for their academic dedication
.
during the 2003 fall semester.
The event, hosted by the office
of advancement and the academ-
,
ic vice president's office was
held in the McCann center. It
featured an array of finger foods,
and an address given by dean of
faculty / academic vice presi-
dent, Artin Arslanian, and acting
director of the office of advance-
ment,
Nancy Aronzonid. She
said that recognizing students is
important to aiding in their per-
sonal growth.
"It is important to spend a little
time honoring them," she said. "
It gives them visibility for all the
hard work that they do. We 're
very proud of them and want to
make sure everybody congratu-
lates them," Aronzon said.
Upon arrival to the event, stu-
dents were entered into a raffle,
and one student was randomly
selected from each department
to receive a gift certificate to the
bookstore.

For seniors Chrissie Anthony
and Amy O'Connor, the event
was a minor milestone in their
college careers. Even though
they have made the dean's list
several times, they have never
attended the reception.
"Because we're graduating, we
thought we should see what it's

"Now we wish we had come

Resnet

Starting this fall, Residential
Networking office (Resnet), will
no longer support students
whose computers run Windows
98, Windows 95, Windows
Millennium
.
(ME), or Windows
XPHome.
Kathleen LaBarbara, manager
of operations at Marist College,
said that Resnet needs to support
the student body the best way it
can
.
"For the resources we have, we
have to support the majority," she
said.
The biggest problem is that
Windows is no longer supporting
patches or hot fixes for these pro-
grams
:
Patches or hot fixes are an
integral part of maintaining a
-system
.
These programs fix
holes that viruses can get
through and ruin the operating
system, ultimately disabling the
network.
David Hughes, a Resnet sup-
port analyst at Marist College,
said that the recent programs are
more suitable for the network.
"It's more compatible with a
large network environment,"
Hughes said.

problem Resnet faces every year
with new students and current
students is cleaning out the
Spyw~e that is on their comput-
er.
Spyware is a type of program
that a student can pick up from
the Internet. Once it works itself
into a computer system, Spyware
can slow down a computer and
allow multiple pop-ups to appear
at once. It can even allow viruses
to enter the system.
There are other steps that
Resnet is taking in order to
insure that students can be con-
nected to the network as quickly
as possible. Resnet provides free
MacAfee virus protective soft-
ware for the four years that a stu-
dent attends Marist. Students can
use other security software like
Norton, but they should not put
more than one antivirus software
on their computer. According to
LaBarbara that could lead to
more viruses entering the com-
puter. Students also need to be on
the Marist network in order to
receive the free virus protection
software.
Resnet will rotate information
desks set up at Champagnat,
Dyson, and the library. There
,
students can ask assistants any
questions that they have.
LaBarbara said these informa-
tion desks are not just for incom-
ing freshman and returning stu-
dents.
"We're here for all students;
adult, graduate, commuter," she
said.
However special arrangements
will be made for students that

All other students that have lap-

information in the orientation
packets and question and answer
seminars that new students or
parents can attend.
LaBarbara said that a student's
computer is one of the most
important learning tools they
have and it is essential that they
upgrade their computers to
account for the changes.
"Computers are so important to
education," -she said. "It's not for
just typing papers."
Resnet also sends out- emails
that include patches that the
newer Microsoft operating sys-
tem requires. A student can

either download patches off of
Resnet's Web site or Microsoft's
Web site.
LaBarbara said that these
emails are not sent out to annoy
students. The patches are critical
to keeping a computer virus free.
"This isn't something we're
doing to give them a hard time,"
LaBarbara said.
Hughes explained that SUNY

network when their Resnet failed
to take critical steps to protect
students' computers.
LaBarbara said Marist would
avoid having to do the same
thing if all students participate in
updating their patches.
"Because of our proactive
stance, it has prevented us from
doing what other schools had to
do," she said.

Relay

national pro-

was
run
for the first
time this year
here on

The walk, a

"It's

Gunn said.
The event raised $25,092 for
Gordy Klatt in
1985 and has spread to eight
countries and 3,800 communities
in the United States. Its purpose
is
to
raise funds to promote can-
cer awareness, save lives and
fight against
disease.
According
to Katie Flynn, sec-
retary
of the Social Work
Association and Event Chair,
planning for
the
event started in
September.
"This event has been planned
for seven months," Flynn said.
"I could not have asked for a bet-
ter turnout, especially since this
is a first time event."
Flynn, a social work major,
said she came
upon
the idea of
hosting this event when she did a
project in one of her classes.

Senior females practice social graces at Senior Tea
By STACEY
L. CASWELL
Copy
Editor
Over chocolate dipped straw-
berries and miniature sandwich-
es, graduating senior women,
alumnae and faculty conversed
about after graduation plans at
the 25th annual women's tea
hosted by Marilyn Murray, wife
of Marist College President,
Dennis
Murray.
The Apr.
18 event was held at
the Poughkeepsie Tennis Club to
celebrate the achievements of
Marist women, who now domi-
nate the Marist campus in a 60 to
40 percent ratio.
Marilyn Murray said the event
was designed to help women
practice social graces before
graduating and to acknowledge
the hard work that they have
done.
"It's important for women to
be
recognized for achievements
they have made," she said. "I'm
very happy that I have the oppor-
tunity
.
"
Originally started in
1980, the
event was set up by Marilyn
Murray in the Murrays' home to
give the graduating class, of
approximately 60 women, a
chance to network before leaving
Marist.
Across the street, President
Murray gave the women tours of
his house. He said that although
the event is something that
would not necessarily be imple-
mented in this 9ay and age, it is
essential to maintain the ritual.
"This tea was to create some
bonding among the women," he
said. "I think it's important that
women get together, socialize,
[and] talk about women's issues
..
. Certain traditions are impor-
tant to keep alive."
The presidential dwelling
,
located behind the tennis club,
was bought and renovated by the
college after Murray became
president in
1979.
Although the President's house
is typically situated on campus at
most other universities, Marist
felt having the president live off-
campus would be a good way to
support
the
surrounding
Poughkeepsie area.
"The college wanted to con-
tribute to the revitalization of the
city," Murray said.
'Currently, the house is used for
hosting official dinners and spe-
cial events for the students and
college faculty.
The house, which is finished
with hand-carved white oak, will
someday be given to the next col-
lege president, at whatever time
that may be.
Senior Patricia Tarantello said
that the tea was appreciated by
her and other female students.
"It's a nice gesture from the
President's wife;' she said
.
Senior Kimberly Weaver
agreed. She said that women
tend to act differently when men
are not present.
"It's sort of a different element
when you take men out of the
picture,"
she
said.
Trustee Betty Wolf said she has
seen the college
undergo
dramat-
ic changes during President
Murray's administration. She
has, for the past
17 years, attend-
ed the tea because she finds it
enjoyable
.
"It's always very nice to talk
with the students and find out
where they are going [and] what
their plans are," she said.

Student playwrights to showcase work in 'Candles
and Starlight,
and Moonshine'
By
MELISSA FERRIOLA
Staff
Writer
Student playwrights will debut
their work at
the
24th annual fes-
tival of student plays, titled
Candles and Starlight, and
Moonshine,
from
Thursday,
Apr.
22 to Saturday, Apr. 24.
· The Marist College Council on
Theatre Arts (MCCTA), in con-
junction
with
the Theatre
Workshop class, collaborated
with the student playwrights over
15 weeks to produce seven short
plays.
The playwrights submitted
their one-act plays at the end of
the fall semester. The
Theater
Workshop
students were then
given the opportunity to read the
submitted scripts and decide
which plays they wanted to pro-
duce.
Gerald Cox, associate profes-
sor, English, said that the play-
wrights had the opportunity to
talk to the class about their play
and discuss any changes they
wanted to make.
"I
tell the playwrights that
meeting the students taking
workshop is an important oppor-
tunity to sell themselves and
their plays and good prospects
for workshop activity," Cox said.
Cox explained that each play
underwent
a
developmental
process when rehearsals began,
when the playwrights observed
how the actors interacted with
each other and the director.
"As [a] play goes through
rehearsals, it becomes clear what
in the play works well and what
needs to be clarified or given fur-
ther development," Cox said.
Nicole Nolting, 21, English
major, whose pJay, "Nearly
Naked" will be showcased in the
festival, said that the class fore-
saw a major difficulty with her
set.
"My problem was [that]
I
need[ed] a statue of Adam and
Eve, which is a difficult thing to
find," Nolting said.
However, Nolting said the rest
of her set was rather simple, con-
sisting of only two characters
and a single set. She also said
that a lot of the plays were not
produced because of vulgar Ian-
guage, complicated sets and
scene changes
.
Nolting said that the class also
had to consider what the Marist
community would best relate to
when choosing pl
a
ys
.
For this
reason, most of the characters in
the plays are young.
"A lot of it was ~ow well the
Marist audience would take to
the plays
,
" Nolting said.
Elizabeth Apfel, director of
Nolting's play; said slie chose it
because the rela
t
ion
s
hip between
the two characters was s
_
o unique
.
Apfel and
,
Nolting rworked
together to aceurately cast arid
portray the characters
,
get cos-
tumes, and
·
amend the s
c
ript.
Apfel said the problem with the
sets for the festival was not being
able to put the entire piece
toge
t
her until the Monday before
the show opened.
''The set had to be changed so
many times because dance club
has their show this weekend so
they couldn't have a platform in
the middle of the stage
,
" Apfel
said.
The students had to build mul-
tiple pieces of the set so they
could store them easily and
would be able to put them
t
ogether without much difficulty
.
Some of the playwrights decid-

them-
sel\d,
ratheP than having the
theater workshop students' help,
such as Chris Tomkinson, 21.
"I just did children's theater
and it was just a bit too much for
me to do children's theater and
participate in the festival as
well,'' Tomkinson said
.
The plays that are submitted are
still entered into a playwriting
contest
,
even if they aren't shown
at the festival.
The contest winner will receive
the
John
P.
Anderson
Scholarship, set up by the class-
mates of a Marist alum who died
a year after graduatio
n
on a trip
to London.
The scholarship
money is raised by donations
given at the children's theater
and the festival productions. The
award will be presented May 8 at
a banquet held by Marist College
Council on Theater Arts.

fun. The days are
now getting longer. The nights
crazier. The skirts
shorter.
The
green more slippery. The bod-
ies hotter. And as hibernation
comes to an end and the winter
layers are shed, Marist enroll-
ment seems to triple.
As time progresses, the trees
bloom and the grass turns
greener, the idea of Frisbee on
the
green
outweighs
the
thought of doing work in your
room. Unless of
course
you're
College
Life
a senior, cause then I'm sure
you 're spending many hours of
the day sitting in the library,
working on capping, watching
everyone else outside enjoying
the weather.
For the under-
classmen, this is when it pays
off to bank your class absences.
The time spent here with
friends is slowly dwindling,
and in the satne respect, hang-
ing
out
and
socializing
becomes more and more impor-
tant.
The same is true for the
Marist nightlife. The popularly
acceptable
drunken nights are
slowly but surely increasing.
The hormones are raging and
the alcohol is flowing, and
when combined, they
form
all
new kinds of craziness.
Of course I wouldn't be true
to my column if I didn't com-
plain about something, so here
I
go. Security always knows
how to rain on
.
a sunny day.
Case in point: slip and slide.
Of course Marist students
aren't allowed to have fun on
their own.
Security has to
come along and end all the fun.
Last time
I
checked, a slip
and slide has nothing to do with
security.
Aside from that one minor
cloud, the skies from here on
out look bright and clear.
As the semester draws to a
close and the workload increas-
es, fun in the sun will always
prevail.

women too often.

to
refer to
us
as
·
"miss"
or
"ma'am,"
and
although we
consider
our-
selves independent, we're still
kind of relying on our parents.
Being a
girl, I'
11 be the
first
one to admit
it.
We're crazy.
We're catty and
gossipy
and
moody and
indecisive.
We
travel
in
P!1cks to the bathroom
with girls we've just met, but
trust only our best
friends
with
anything remotely important.
We swear we
·
love
nice
boys,
but are endlessly
attracted
to
those
Colin
Farrell types. We
spend hours
selecting
the per-
fect
shade
of
pink, a
color
choice that no
member of
the
opposite sex will
ever know
the
importance
of.
We swear
we're not materialistic
.. . as
we eye the
girl
holding the
Coach
bag that's
just a
little
newer than ours.
Sure, we're all these things,
but is it really that bad?
Females need bonding and
talking time way more than
men do, and if it means taking
an unnecessary trip to the bath-
room and listening to your
friend for the
fourth
time about
the fight with her boyfriend,
then so be it.
In our opinion, guys don't
talk enough. Does all that time
playing X-Box with each other
really get you anywhere? I'd
take a late-night
Dirty Dancing
pow-wow over that any day.
As for the shopping thing, we
choose our men the way we
choose
our
clothes.
Sometimes we pick something
safe, sometimes
something
risky, stuff that's bad and good.
We find it quickly, or it takes
longer than we imagined.
Sometimes we make mistakes,
and sometimes we find that
perfect outfit that was made
just for us.
And if we're materialistic,
then guys are too. It's just that
guys covet trucks and toys and
girls want sweaters and shoes.
Whether
it
be Mitsubishi
or
Mahnolo Blahnik, jerseys or
jewelry, stuff is stuff. And as

much as you think it's stupid
that we pay astronomical
amounts
for
stuff
from
Express, that huge video game
raid you made at Best Buy
makes even less sense to us.
And although it's hard to
admit it, our moods change
more than our away messages,
but we can't help
it.
When
you're listening to everyone
else's problems and dealing
with drama on a regular
basis,
it's hard not to have ESP and
be overly reactive to any
type
of change in your life. We
know we're sensitive
. .. it's
not something that you discov-
ered
·
.
But girls are much
stronger than you think. As the
saying goes, a woman is like
a
teabag ... you don't know how
strong she is until you put her
in hot water.
So, girls may be a lot of
things that make us different,
and in many ways, foreign to
guys.
But we drink beer,
watch baseball games, have
Beirut tournaments, and bum
around in our
sweatpants
almost as much as guys do.
Just because we look prettier
doing it, doesn't make it a bad
thing.

Baseball team sweeps Canisius, moves into third place
By
SCOTT MONTESANO
Staff Writer
The Red Foxes basebal1 team is
back to its o1d ways. At least,
that's what the Red Foxes are
anticipating, after sweeping a
three-game
Metro
Atlantic
Athletic Conference series from
Canisius, last weekend at the
McCann Baseball Field.
The conference sweep -
Marist's first of the season -
moves the Foxes into third place
in the MAAC. Marist is 6-3 in
MAAC play, and 13-19 overall
record.
Meanwhile, the
Canisius
Golden Griffs plummetted to the
cellar at 2-10 in MAAC play this
season.
Senior catcher Jimmy Board

.500
over the weekend and
added seven RBIs to his stats.

Frosh Travis Musolf earned MMC
rookie of the week honors batting
.400 for the week and .295 for the
season.
With two outs, Kevin Grauer
singled and then stole second.
Grauer later scored what proved
to be the game winning run on an
Eric Johnson single. Marist
added to their lead two batters
later when Musolf singled to
plate Johnson.
Marist finished the scoring in
the eighth to take a l
0-7
lead.
After starting the season
6-15
overall and struggling to find the
swagger that had become the
team's calling card for the past
few years, the Foxes have won
seven of their last 11 games.
The Foxes now trail first place
LeMoyne by fout games. Marist
and LeMoyne will meet next
weekend in Syracuse.
This weekend, the Foxes will
host St. Peter's in another MAAC
weekend series. Long known as a
lightweight in the
MAAC
base-
ball league, the Peacocks have
not shocked ~yone this season.
St. Peter's is tied for last place
with two league wins, and are
already seeing
_
any playoff hopes
end. Nonetheless, St. Peter's
scared the Red Foxes in Jersey
City a year ago.
Musolf Named Rookie of
the
Week
Frosh Travis Musolf was
named the MAAC rookie-of-the-
week after nearly hitting .400
over four games. It is Musolf s
first award of the season.

Toscano said that much prepa-

said. "The week before the show
we practice every night," she
said.
Casarella said the crew that

'Toe tech crew's been so good

'They

The music editor was Matt
Berthold, who cut the songs and
put them all together for the

always adds extra pizzazz to the
evening.
"He always adds a fun air to the

In

to funding various

and perseverance in life.
"I thought the
talk
was really
moving and just a real privilege
to hear firsthand someone who's
lived through such a harrowing
part of history
,
yet has such a
generous spirjt even after he
went through it," Kotzin said.
Beck said his overall message
advocated acceptance and open-
mindedness towards humankind.
"You have to judge people indi-
vidually, not collectively," he
said.
Al Sharpton gives his opinions on the ethical standards in media, weaknesses of his campaign opponents
"I guess 'because I'm a black
candidate I'm supposed to stay at
the 'Y' ," Sharpton said.
In addition, be felt there was
too much focus
on
the fact that
Sharpton was, for the most part,
funding his own campaign.
Whereas
Kerry had millions of
dollars, Sharpton's campaign
fl!nds numbered in the thou-
sands.
However, Sharpton said more
important issues should have
been addressed.
"I think [the] students wel-
comed the opportunity to talk
with Reverend Sharpton about
his run for president and I know
that he enjoyed
meeting
with
Marist students," said Watson,
adding that Sharpton has said
that he wants to come to campus
next Fail to encourage students
to register to vote in the upcom-
ing
presidential
election.
"Even though he did not get
many votes in the Democratic
Primary, Reverend Sharpton
played an important role,"
Watson said. "During the cam-
paign, he raised some critical
issues and got people talking.
That's a good thing."
Although Sharpton was 45
minutes late, he could only meet
with the students {or about half
an hour, and he spoke on a broad
range of topics and entertained
several questions.
A current issue Sharpton dis-
cussed was that of same sex mar-
riage, an issue Sharpton feels
was made too important during
the race.
''This issue was a real distrac-
tion from the issues that should
have been priorities in a presi-
dential campaign," Sharpton
said. "We don't
talk
about war,
economy, etc., we talk about
same sex marriage
.
Things that
don't hurt anybody," he said.
When questioned about the
lack of
expressed
political inter-
est among younger generations,
Sharpton said he does not feel it
is their fault.
"A lot of young people are
interested, they just do not know
how to get involved," Sharpton
said. "The groups that existed
when I was younger, when
everybody was involved, just are
not there like they used to be."
One of the main problems; he
said, is that political candidates
often
talk
above people .
.
"The idea to me is to commu-
nicate, not to impress," Sharpton
said. "People get turned off. I
was nodding off just
looking
at
some of these guys and I was on
stage with them. You 're talking
to Americans, not Harvard pro-
fessors."

During its tenure, the Amsterdam

forced to make
innumerable
eth-
ical decisions.
Waiting to greet the group at
ABC

was
Jeffrey
Schneider, vice president of
Public Relations.
Schneider addressed the day-to-
day decisions that pass by his
desk. These decisions are on a
variety of topics and involve not
only ethical decisions, but also
those of crisis management and
company image. Since Schneider
did not major in public relations
,
but rather ended up in his posi-
tion through a winding path of
other careers, he said he often
wonders how people generally
prepare for a job such as his.
"I
was always curious what
they teach in public relations
classes,"
Schneider
said.
"Because the only real way to
learn to handle a crisis situation
is to actually be in one."

He said there is always the
chance that a tour guide can mis-
inform
people, and they do their
best to prevent that.
"It's usually just someone mak-
ing an off-the
-
cuff remark,"
Murray said. "But we'd rather
them just say, 'I don't know' and
refer [ the questioner] to someone
who does know."
Assistant director of
Admissions Vince Pettograsso
said Open House has the poten-
tial to be the deciding factorin a
prospective student's college
search.
"If
you have five schools on the
table, this is what we hope nar-
rows it down for you," he said.
"For many of our current stu-
dents, this is what made them
decide to attend Marist."
Murray said there were some
aspects of the
program
that
Admissions wanted to improve,
but noted that certain changes
are difficult to make.
"We definitely exceeded some
of our capacities for facilities,"
he said. "It happens when we
have such big crowds."
Murray said that attendance
was about the same in years past,
averaging approximately 1000
people on Saturday and 1300-
1400 on Sunday.
Murray said that in addition to
sometimes not having adequate
space to house everyone, there
also the trademark Marist prob-
lem of parking.
"The idea of shuttle buses has
been brought up, but even then,
there is still the issue of where to
put your car," he said.
Murray said that the program
used to be run on multiple week-
ends, but said it is too difficult to
coor~inate and fund anything
more than a single pair of days.
"Theoretically, your costs
should be cut in half if you do
this on two weekends, but really
they get doubled," he said.
"Also,
it is very difficult to coor-
dinate so many staff members to
be around all weekend."
Murray said that in order to
address any issues or problems
with the Open House program, a
questionnaire was given out as in
years past to all who
•
attended.
He said the survey asked a vari-
ety of questions about the pro-
gram.
"We ask them overall ques-
tions, anything from parking to
check-in," he said. "We want to
get different perspectives on
things
.
"
Murray said that while there
were some minor problems,
there is more than enough time
to ensure improvement for next
year, and that this year's program
was overall a success.
"Luckily we have a whole year
to look at [the problems]," he
said. "We were pleased with the
day and the fact that there were
so many other events on campus
going on."
He said the liveliness of the
campus, which included a dou-
ble-header baseball game on
Saturday, enhanced the experi-
ence of guests even more.
"It
makes the campus seem
really exciting," Murray said.
Murray said that
·
despite the
fact that any college admissions
staff is going to make an effort to
really
'sell'
their school, the
Open House program did not
deceive guests into thinking
Marist is something it is not.
"I think we have an office full
of alumni, so obviously they are
positive when they are talking
about the
school,
but if we didn't
do that, we wouldn't be a suc-
cess," he said.
"I
think we accu-
rately represent the school."
Pettograsso summed up the
goal of the weekend.
"It's two days of fun in the
sun," he said.

A&E Editor
Marist Dance Club performed
their annual Dance Show to their
usual two sold-out crowds. The
performances, on Friday, Apr. 16
and Saturday, 'Apr. 17, featured
24
dances in which about half of
the 150-member club participat-
ed.
Outgoing president of the club,
senior Jessica Casare11a, said that
in addition to being one of the
most popular organizations on
campus, students
.
were interested
in not only joining dances, but
choreographing them as well.
"We have a huge club, and we
had double the amount of people
who wanted to choreograph this
semester," Casarella said.
She said that due to limits on
how long the show could be,
diplomatic measures were taken
to choose who would craft the
pieces in this semester's pro-
gram.
"Basically, what we did was
give seniors priority and then
pick out of a hat," Casarella said.
"Half of the dances were choreo-
graphed by seniors."
Outgoing vice president, senior
Lauren Tuscano, said that the
program represented a variety of
dance styles.
"Jan Mahan did a jungle-
t
h
emed modern dance with
[matching] costumes, and Katie
Safrey did a hip-hop piece using
[music from] New Kids on th~
Block and NSYNC," Tuscano
said.

and bitter to a spiritual convert.
Kate,
the main character,
decides to re-evaluate her life
and her marriage vows to her

man whom she has grown to

The issues Kate must grapple
with, and the questions that she
raises througho

extremely reflective and often
show the darker side of human
nature. Weaved within Homby's
dry
humor are many instances in
which Kate must decide to carry
on with a marriage and be
u
nhappy, or end her marriage
and tear apart the family, damag-
ing her children.

e
part
of
a social commentary
by
a group of Marist students.
A little bit of
'wonderalism'
can't hurt you
By KATE GIGLIO
A&E Editor
A small group of Marist sen-
iors tried to send what they said
they hope is a resonant message
to the college community.
"We want people to wonder,"
senior Dan Buzi, a double
English writing and Spanish
major, said.
"[Wondering] is
the first step in critical thought."
thought it was mildly supercil-
ious of Marist to request a
"se11;-
ior gift" of $25, when many
graduates are already struggling
with college loans exceeding
$100,000; loans taken out to
pay Marist's tuition.
''The issue of money is what
inspired us," Licciardello said.
"They're still asking us for
money."
.......
-----.,-
Buzi said that the project was
their own, cost-efficient version
of a senior contribution.
'1
think we spent seven dollars
working on this project," Buzi
said. "So this is our gift -
free
critical thought."
In
addition to the pile of fake
currency, by which the space
normally occupied by
an
image
of a famed American political
figure is instead filled by the
phrase "some white guy," the
students put golden pigs in their
display, which they said repre-
sented what can
be interpreted
as greed not just by the college,
but also in general.
"Golden pigs, false idols,
piggy banks -
it's all related to
the
whole money
thing,"
Licciardello said.
Buzi said, though, that the
Buii, along with fellow near
-
grads Jessica Licciardello and
Richard Pinder, said they tried
to convey that idea to the Marist
community Tuesday by setting
up a display on the campus
green consisting of caution
tape, cardboard boxes with
"SECURITY" painted on them,
gold-hued pigs, and a pile of
fake dollar bills with a
sign
over
it that read, "senior
gift."
The
students said they were not
protesting anything; rather, they
said they were trying to send a
message.

I
CA UCCIARDELLO
A more cost-efficient Senior Gift - an offering
of
'free crttlcal thought.'
"We'd really have to be
against something for it to
be a
protest," Buzi said. "Our goal is
to make people think about their
surroundings
.
We call it 'won-
deralism
.
"'
The students said they titled
their display "Shubadawoo."
"We were trying to think of a
name for it, and when Security
asked us what it was called, we
decided
to
say,
'Shubadawoooo
!"
Licciardello
said.
Licciardello, a studio art and
art history major, said the dis-
play promoted the idea that
there is a need for more artistic
presence on a campus that she
said has the resources and space
to accommodate it.
"It's
[partly] a response to the
lack of sculptural art on cam-
pus," she said.
The students also said they
symbolism of the things in the
display was not the focus.
"The symbolism is not nearly
as important as .the goal of try-
ing to question things," he said.
The students said they wanted
to stress that they were not
attacking Marist and the educa-
tion it offers. In fact, Buzi said
that his ability to think critically
was likely a result of his matric-
ulation at the school.
"I might not be able to think
this way if it weren't for my
education here," Buzi said.
Licciardello said that they
were not trying to convince stu
-
dents to change their
view-
poirits, but merely to understand
those of others.
"I
don't want
you
to think
what
I
think; I just want you to
see another perspective," she
said.
The students said the boxes,
painted black and white with
"SECURITY" written on them,
represented how security, in
general, can sometimes be very
anonymous and serve a purpose
other than what they initially
seem to serve.
"Boxes are very anonymous;
you don't know what's in them,
Licciardello said. "So we paint-
ed them black and white to keep
the anonymous tone. Also, it is
the idea of security just sitting
there and not being functional;
just being a container for some-
thing else."
Buzi said they feel that some-
times Marist security in particu-
lar tends to patrol student
behavior rather than actual
issues of security.
"Security tends to be behav-
ioral enforcement rather than
security," he said. "We thought
the fact that they even brought
[ our display] up kind of proves
their prerogative."
Buzi said security told them
they needed to get permission to
have a "registered student activ-
ity," and when he asked them if
he would get permissioQ, the
security officer said no.
"Then
why
would we ask
them if we could get permis-
sion?" Buzi said rhetorically.
"We aren't hurting anyone ...
I
asked the security guard if the
people playing baseball on
·
the
green needed permission for a
'registered student activity,'
too."
The students said that they
wanted their display to encour-
age people to realize they can
change things
.
"This is just something visual-
ly different on campus that
shows students have the power
to do something," Licciardello
said. "It's not hurting anyone."
The students had gone around
campus on Monday writing
"Art Can't Hurt You" in chalk
on the walkways.
It
was this
idea, Licciardello said,
that
was
their main message
.
"J'he main thing is
it [the dis-
play] wasn't meant to hurt any-
one
-
because art can't hurt
you," she said.
