Marist gets· served research grant a la CART
By
CASSI MATOS
Editor
in Chief
Being designated a College
Applied
Research
and
Technology Center (CART) is a
prestigious honor that can take
years to achieve.
Marist was recently designated
a CART by New York State. In
addition to the prestige of being
named a Center, Marist will
receive $50o;ooo this year and
$2.5 million over the next five
years through this grant. Only
two of these grants were made in
the entire state this year, and
Marist received the larger award.
The grant is an extremely com-
petitive one.
If
no one qualifies
for it in a given year, no one
receives it.
Dennis Murray, President,
Marist College, said the grant is
a reflection of four or five years
work aimed in this direction.
"This grant recognizes the out-
standing faculty in our School of
Computer
Science
and
Mathematics, our top-flight tech-
nology platform, and our leader-
ship in applied research, particu-
larly in the field of technology,"
Murray said. "In addition, it rec-
ognizes Marist as one of the top
schools in New York State in the
field of technology."
Murray clarified however, that
Marist is not
looking
to become
known as a tech school.
"We're not trying to become
the next Carnegie Melon or MIT,
but we want all our students to
understand
how
technology
influences their field, everyone
has to understand technology,"
Murray said. ''What we really
want to become known for is the
use of all technologies in all
fields."
The purpose of the Center, as
the school is now identified by
the state, at Marist will be to con-
duct research in the area of col-
laborative
and on-demand com-
tions such as IBM, the Franklin
Delano
Roosevelt
Presidential
Library, the Hudson River Valley
National Heritage Area, and the
State and federal governments,
puting.
According
to Murray, the
grant money
will be used
to aid eco-
nomic and job
'We're not trying to become the
next Carnegie Melon or MIT ...
What we really want to become
known for is the use of all tech-
nologles in all flelds.'

Master plan reveals long term vision
By
LOUIS
P.
ORTIZ

Assistant Editor
On Aug. 23, the Performing
Arts
Room (PAR) hosted a pres-
entation that introduced new
landscape
ideas for the Marist
community.
The Office of Housing and
Residential Life and the Student
Government Association (SGA)
were on hand to ask questions,
off er suggestions, and critique
this new movement for the 21st
century.
In addition, Justin Butwell,
Director of the Physical Plant,
moderated the event and added
insight toward the college's rea
-
soning behind moving forward
with this proposal.
Architects drew out these pos
-
sibilities after comparing them to
bigger universities such as Yale
University and the University of
Virginia
They believed that
Marist was a very unique cam-
pus that offered a lot to the stu-
dents.
A PowerPoint presentation
unveiled the development of a
bridge that would connect the
main campus to Marist's off
campus housing, Upper and
Lower West Cedar.
It would add elements of unifi
-
cation that are lacking between
the campus and the sights of
Marist outside the campus
,
according to the architects.
Primarily, the information
specified efforts to change the
structure of the campus into
something that exhibited consis
-
tent similarities.
Matthew Hittenmark, Vice
President of Club Affairs
,
attend-
ed the event in hopes of gaining
a better grasp
fdr
what the future
holds on the Marist campus. He
believed that the presentation
served as a beneficial resource in
identifying the true essence of
Marist College.
"I believe that the research pro-
vided those who attended with
an accurate outlook on the poten-
tial future design bf the college,"
he said. "I was impressed with
the research done by the archi-
tects and I honestly believe that
if approved by the college
,
it will
serve as a valuable asset to the
students."
During this gathering, discus
-
sion was broken down into eight
points
:

identity on Route
9, academic zoning, residential

.
The East-West connection
focused on bringing together all
aspects of the college either
through

across Route 9

grants make it possible for us to
constantly renew our technolo-
gies, allowing students to experi-
ment with the latest and greatest
available.
"Grants like this one are an
essential part of the college
experience," said Saya
.
Saya was part of the team at
Marist that was responsible for
securing the grant. Leading the
team were Roger Norton, Dean,
School of Computer Science and
Mathematics,
and
Barbara

Professionals.
Joining them were, Shaileen
Kopec, Vice President, College

and Kate

officer.
In addition to receiving this
grant, shortly after noon on
Tuesday
,
Sept. 7, Murray and
State Senator Steve Saland met
in front of the James Canavinno
Library for a brief press confer-
ence concerning a different
grant.
Saland began the meeting by
saying that Marist has a "superi-
or campus" and "cutting edge
technology."
"Marist has been recognized by
the governor as being worthy of
any number of grants as well,
"
commented Saland.
Senator Saland presented
Marist with a $76

that will allow the college to
develop online service applica-
tions for small-to medium-sized
businesses.
Conventions cause

As the first Tuesday in
Novetnber nears, students at

the policies and politics of
George W. Bush and John

Kerry presented in their respec-
tive party's conventions.
Although the Democratic and
Republican national conventions
each spanned a week and impor-

guys, and
believe
me there's a lot of good stuff here,
I have to go over a few things. First, DON'T JAY-
WALK. Sure, it saves time, and you look cool doing
it, but please - be patient. Secondly, LOCK YOUR
CARS. We don't want random people pretending to
fall asleep in them, when they are really stealing
your new Ashlee Simpson CD. Lastly, GET YOUR
PARKING PERMITS. Behavioral enforcement - I
mean, security will stop being lax in about a week,
so get the sticker and park accordingly.

Not all students come to school with enough pic-

for one student, and

something about it. He stole the poster merchant's sam-

as bad as stealing Wonka's

and told his roommate, "Yo dude, I got the sample book!
Now we can call and order any of these we want! No
waiting in line for us!" Yeah, because waiting in the
poster line takes longer than three to five business days.

Actual conversation between a student and his
mother on
move-in day: "Ok sweetie, have a great time,
and meet lots of friends! I want you to have fun, but not
too much fun! Hehe." Four days later that mother got a
call from Marist telling her that her son had been caught
smoking marijuana at 1 :06 a.m. in Champagnat Hall.
What a great way to start your college career. Maybe
next time you will show some tact, and at least wait a
week. Save your mother

A student was caught riding his bike on the stone

Gartland is obviously really peeved that Leo beat
them out last semester; because my gosh
did
they get
written up a lot last week. At 10:35 p.m. in F-block,
59
cans of Bud Light and one box of Almaden wine were
confiscated from six students. Unfortunately, I can only
count this as one write up even though anyone drinking
Almaden wine in a box surely deserves two. Wow, what
a start.

E
joined in on the fun at 10:55 p.m.
Security found five students and two visitors with four
bottles of Bud, one bottle of Bacardi Rum, and 16
cans
of Milwaukee's Best. Ewwww. I'll take the crab juice.

An
officer confiscated eight cans of Coors Light
from five students at 9: 10 p.m. in Gartland E. How the
heck do you get written up for eight beers among five
people? A student living next door told security, "I knew
they were going to get written up. You can only scream,
'You only brought eight beers, you idiot' so many times
before getting caught."

Spring semester winner Leo got in on the action at
9:15 p.m. Friday.
An
officer found three students with
12 cans of Bud Light in their room. I'm sure there was
some kind of misunde,rstanding going on there. So let
me just clear things up for you. That's not allowed at
Marist. You can't be drinking beer in your room when
your only 18. Maybe that flies at home, but this is the
real world, and the real world's got rules! "The real
world doesn't have RA's though." Man,

My freshman home, Cqampagnat, didn't disap-
point either this weekend. Two students on the fifth floor
were found with 20 einpty and five full cans of beer. The
brands of the beer were not divulged. This time
I
think
the guard came a little too late, if you know what
I
mean.
Haha, you know ... 20 empties ...

Back to Gartland E-block. Alcohol was confiscat-
ed from five students at 10: 12 p.m. The loot included: 18
cans of Rolling Rock, a bottle of tequila, and a half full
bottle of Seagram's 7. I can't help but notice that most
of these alcohol things are about sophomores. Here's m'y
theory why. Coming out of the dorm atmosphere, and
especially living somewhere like Gartland, the sopho-
more feels so much more
liberated.
You're living with
five friends, you have your own kitchen, and there's no
swiping in. You think you are invincible. So let's cele-
brate our first weekend back in this sweet place and
drink! Well guys, it's not all tea and strumpets. Marist
will bust your
bubble
just as fast as you blew it. Next
time, fellas, just go to a bar.

Stop it
Gartland
E, just stop it! This time ten stu-
dents were found with 30 cans of Bud Light and 34
cans
of Busch Light. On the Run won ~t see their faces any-
time soon.

Finally, something other than an alcohol
write up. At
12:19
p.m. a Leo student discharged a
fire extinguisher and proceeded to throw it out a sec-
ond' floor window into the roadway.
I
really don't
think
I
even need to add something to this.

An intoxicated student was found outside
Donnelly
at
1: 13
a.m. Monday. She was evaluated
and taken to St. Francis. "Hey, those suckers gave

"I

the story, don't talk to strangers.

This is a great one to end the first week. At
3:25
a.in. a lost student was seen driving her car
down the sidewalk in front of the library, then back
around Marian,
then towards the

pole,
finally
stopping at the chain gate near the Donnelly parking
lot. Security caught up with her, and explained to
her that sidewalks are just for people.

Warm weather, smiles welcome freshmen to campus
By
CAROLINE ROSS
Opinion Editor
Welcome back
to
all returning
students and welcome, Class
of
20081
On
Saturday, Aug. 28,
the
freshmen
class
arrived
to move
in
and the
Marist campus
changed from its relaxed
sum-
mer mode to
a bustling
student-
filled
campus.
Starting at
8
a.m., students
from the top floors of the three
freshmen donns arrived and
were greeted· by student volun-
teers working for numerous cam-
pus activities, clubs and sports.
Each floor was assigned a certain
move in time to make the
process
go as smoothly as possible.
The staff, which is in charge of
finding volunteers and organiz-
ing move-in day events, was
impressed by the volunteers
and
the day in general.
Megan
Ragozzine,
assistant
director
of
admissions, was pleased that
everything went according to
plan.
"Everything went very smooth-
ly," Ragozzine said
about
the
day's events.
Incoming Marist freshmen and
their parents, with the help of
volunteers, unloaded their cars
upon arrival. Freshmen proceed-
ed to check in and receive their
room keys near the dorms.
Both incoming students and
other volunteers were impressed
with the work that the student
volunteers were doing

Multiple sports teams also
helped with move-in day. Teams
including baseball, swimming
and diving, crew, lacrosse, rugby,
and cheerleading also took part
in volunteering.
George Burgevin, a Marist
security guard, stationed at the
back entrance of Champagnat on
freshman move-in day, was
impressed by the job done by the
students.
"I worked the loading dock;
they
were
outstanding,"
Burgevin said.
"They
worked the
entire day; they called the crew
team and tennis team to come up
around 2:30 p.m."
Overall, the response to the stu-
dent volunteers was a positive
one, aside from the occasional
misplaced item. Nicole Flores,
Marist freshman, was one of the
few who had belongings mis-
placed by the student volunteers.
"The volunteers were helpful,"
Flores said. "I mean, it was
so
organized that I never imagined
my backpack would be mis-
placed. They made sure labels
were put on and overall they
did
a good job of getting luggage to
the right places."
Flores' backpack was eventual-
ly located, and the day was
viewed as an overall success by
admissions,
volunteers
and
incoming
students
alike.
Freshmen move-in day was a
great start to the new school year
and was a good way to welcome
the freshmen to the Marist
community.

what TV stations offered, we
expanded our service at a mini-
mal cost," Steve Sansola, assis-
tant dean for student affairs, said.
Some of the new channels are
informative stations like CNBC
and Discovery Health. Otpers,
like Spike TV and the Game
Show Network, provide enter-'
tainment.
Marist's cable service is digi-
tally received and provided by
Falls Earth Station Inc., which
bundled the cable package
according to what college
administration and students con-
sider important, making neces-
sary changes to the cable pack-
age when their tastes change.
In the past, input from the stu-
dent life council was used as a
guide when deciding
on
what
channel packages should be pur-
chased. The package that was
introduced this year was not
costing the college any extra
money for the new channels, so
that's is why it is available to the
students. Sansola said that stu-
dents are becoming ''very media
oriented."
However, senio! Carol
Hennessey said that she doesn't
spend all that much time watch-
ing TV.
"I don't really watch TV, and if
I do I'll watch about half an
hour," Hennessey said.
She said that the new channels
really haven't affected her view-
ing time although she
will
watch
one of the new channels offered,
when she has the time.
"No, it doesn't matter to me,
altlw:tJgh jf
l'Jll
W
,
lf,tching
TV,
I'll
watch the Food Network,"
Hennessey said.
Marist is also implicating a
new option for the students,
which
Christine
Mulvey,
Director of special projects and
telecommunications,
said is
"completely
optional." Students
can now spend extra money and
buy a cable box that will give
them other services
,
like Pay___:
Per_:_ View and HBO Multiplex.
Resident students can subscribe
if they have a major credit or
debit card and an email address.
The equipment rental costs $6.99
and the extra channels range
from $7 for basic digital chan-
nels to $24.99 for HBO/Cinemax
Multiplex.
Mulvey explained that a few
students asked about getting
HBO available in their dorm
rooms, so Marist will
"try
it as an
option to see how much interest
there is."
Ashley Scherer, a sophomore
who watches 3-4 hours of televi-
sion a week, said she doesn't
watch TV that much.
"It
isn't because they don't
have the channels," Scherer said,
who cited The Apprentice and
The OC as her only favorite
shows on television.
Scherer said that the cable box
that Marist offers just didn't
pique her or her roommate's
interest.
"We weren't interested in it,"
Scherer said.
Mulvey said that most students
will not increase their viewing
time because there
.
are more
options when it comes to watch-
ing television.
"I don't think just
because
we
added a few more channels it
would affect the students' TV
watching time," Mulvey said.
Mulvey said that Marist is
try-
ing to cater to all students' tastes
when it comes to television.
"Every
student has qifferent
interests,'' Mulvey said.
Work-study job fair helps students firid the right job on campus
By
COURTNEY KRffi
Managing Editor

llyers directed stu-
dents to McCann Center for the
work study job fair, Wednesday,
Sept. 1.
The Office of Financial Aid
hosts the fair every fall for fresh-
men and transfer students award-
ed work study. During the fair,
which was held from 12:30 to 2
From Page One
p.m.in the Mccann small gym,
students are welcome to meet
with
prospective
campus
employers and applied for jobs
of interest.
According to Mary Lou
Kutchma, who coordinated the
fair along with Lisa Boyes,
both
from the office of financial aid,
320 students attended the fair.
Thirty-five campus
depart-
ments had representatives at the
fair. including sections such as
Student Accounts and Payroll.
The fair aims to make the
process of finding a job on cam-
pus as smooth and as quick as
possible.
The fair "is geared mostly
toward freshman and transfer
students. Upperclassmen are
usually expecting to return to
their
old
jobs," Kutchma said.
However, Kutchma added that
upperclassmen
who
had
expressed the desire to change
campus employers were also
invited to the fair
.
The fair is also only for those
students who have been awarded
work study as part 9ftheir finan-
cial aid package. After Sept.
15,
departments are able to fill void
positions with non-work study
students from any class.
·
In addi-
tion, available jobs are posted on
the financial aid department web
site.
A new addition to the job fair
.
was the a survey given out to all
attending students. and depart-
ments. The survey results con-
veyed that both students and
employers enjoy the job fair
experience. Both sides like the
idea
of meeting
potential
employees and employers in per~
son and having the opportunity
the ability to ask and
answer
·
questions.
"It seemed to be helpful,"soph-
omore, andrew Schmidt said.
"Hopefully
I will get a job."
''The
effort was a success.
.
It
seems like most jobs will
be
filled from the job fair,"
Kutchma said.
Democratic and Republican Conventions raise questions among students
more qualified to defend this
nation than two hours of combat
duty."
Hmelovsky said he thought
that as much as the candidates
tried to distinguish themselves as
completely different characters,
they still came off as generic
candidates with no flair.
"Both conventions were the
same," said Hmelovsky. "If you
switched the names it would be
the same."
Former mayor of New York
Rudolph W. Giuliani opened the
Republican convention with his
account of how the president
skillfully handled the Sept. 11
attacks and how the president
holds a firmer ground when it
comes to national security.
"Preside
nt
Bush will make cer-
tain that we are combating ter-
rorism at the source, beyond
our
shores,
so
we can reduce the risk
of having to confront it in the
streets of New York. John
Kerry's record of inconsistent
positions
on
combating terrorism
gives us
no
confidence he'll pur-
sue such
a determined course,"
Giulaini was quoted in an Aug.
31 New York Times
as
saying.
Junior Brad Heusner, said that
he wasn't impressed by either
candidate or their supporters.
"In
general, they both
come
off
not what they really are,"
Heusner said. "The Republicans
had moderates speak,
like
Arnold or Giuliani, who don't
represent the general party."
As Bush outlined his plans
upon re--election, he also
attacked what Kerry had to say
at the Democrat convention, fail-
ing to follow Kerry's proposal to
focus on the issues and not attack
the candidate.
Bush talked about his domestic
policy
the first half of his accept-
ance
speech,
proposing
increased
"My opponent's policies are
dramatically
different from
ours,'' Bush as quoted in the New
York Times
said.
"He's
pro-
posed more than $2 trillion in

that's a lot,

strategy.

that's the kind
of promise a
.
politician usually
keeps."
Bush did not point out that his
own plans, addressed in his
speech, are now facing opposi-
tion from Congress because they
cost more money than his party
is willing to spend.
The president was passionate
about national security issues, a
topic that both he and Kerry have
bickered in an ongoing battle to
establish whose policy is better
and more feasible. In his speech,
Bush tried to convey that he pos-
sesses something that Kerry
doesn't when it comes to dealing
with terrorists.
"I
will defend America every
·
time," Bush, as quoted in the
New York Times, said during his
speech.
Sophomore Heather Kennedy,
said that now would be a bad
time to change leadership in the
White House.
"Whe
ther
or not I like Bush,
our country is in no state to get a
new leader," Kennedy said.
"Even
though I'm a Democrat,,
since we are in a war, we should-
n't tum over to a new leader."
Junior Jon Watras, thought
Bush succeeded in conveying
what needed to be done.
"I'm voting for Bush,'' said
Watras. "He didn't sit
on
the
issues. Now, hopefully, he'll
be
able to fix the new problems that
were created."
Junior Laura Yocovone, said
that there is still no clear answer.
"I'm
not a Republican, but I'm
in a gray area.
I
support things
from both parties," Yovocone
said. "I don't like how Bush
runs
the presidency as a business, but
I don't like how Kerry contra-
dicts himself."
Marist plans major renovations to beautify campus and improve the school's image
freshmen.
Other ideas included placing
evergreens and trees along Route
9, building a new academic
building, and expanding the cur-
rent academic buildings in order
to show that the college was
complete.
Sophomore Siobhan Skerritt,
resident assistant of Sheahan
Hall, believed the plan is realis-
tic, but will take a tremendous
amount of time to accomplish.
"I think they have a lot of great
ideas, b~t it is going to take a lot
of time," she said.
"I
liked their
efforts to expand on the beauty
of the
campus."
"At first, there
were many things that I did not
notice around the campus and as

What Would Jesus

By
GREGORY PARIS
Circle Contributor
Millions of Christians call him
their savior. His teachings have
shaped thousands of years of his-
tory. A motion picture depicting
his crucifixion grossed over $300
million thi,s year.
Jesus implores all humans to
embrace generosity,
honesty,
compassion, and love. Most peo-
ple agree that these values are
good, regardless of religious
cbnviction. Yet there is a -ton-
flict between American culture
and these basic human values.
Pop culture, like "American
Idol," represents an American
obsession
with
humiliation.
Participants are driven to tears in
the name of a popularity contest.
America's ethical psyche is
weak when it allows such a show
to proliferate to this level. Jesus
would comfort those who were

call themselves "judges."

an interview with
Linda Crane
Student Body Preside1:1t
What are you studying here at
Marist?
I'm a political science major.
What inspired you to run for presi-
dent of the student body?
I've always been into student govern-
ment, and I really
wanted
to be in a
position where I could play a more
active role in the political process.
Do you have any specific plans you
want to implement during your pres-
idency?
Well, we have a lot of things planned
about it?
Sure! This year the SGA is starting an general-
membership policy, which allows students who
do not hold an official position to attend meetings
and play an active role in the entire political
process. That way, we can get more input on the
important issues at hand, and students can get
involved without having to deal with all of the
pressure of holding an office.
You're a senior; do you have any plans for next
year?
Yes, I intend to go to gra~ school and continue
studying political
science.
for this school year ... The biggest one What do you intend to do in terms of a career
coming
up soon is the Marist version of path?
Rock the Vote.
It's a weeklong process
Hmm ... I'll probably start with something in
of culminating and registering voters, the market research field, or maybe something
and it closes out with a "Battle of the with public opinion. Eventu~lly though, I'll prob-

·

.
of political involvement.
Sounds like a great way to do that,
when does this start?
Actually, it kicks off this Friday, the
tenth, at the Wellness Fair. And we still
need people to help with the whole
thing, because it takes a lot of time and
organization, so anyone interested
should definitely come and check it out!
What do you think of the recent political con-
ventions?
I think they've been going well. I know some
people think that
they're
outdated and we should
do away with them, I believe that the tradition of
the political convention is a good one. Since the
candidates focus on the core
constituents, it
gives
the public an opportunity to form an
opinion.
That way, voters who are kind of on the fen~e can
What are your goals for the student body?
I really just want students to be able to voice
their concerns on campus. Even issues that might
seem trivial deserve to be brought to our atten-
tion, because
solving
students' problems is the
whole purpose of student government.
I understand that the Student Government

Do you have any advice for the student body?

is a great time
to get involved with all kinds of great clubs and
activities, student government or otherwise. I
hate the idea of students looking back on their
time here and regretting their lack of involvement
on campus. So get out there and be active on our
campus and
in
our community!

New year, similar result for Foxes' football team
Defeated by Lafayette in season opener for second straight year
ByPAULSl:ACH
Sports Editor
Last year, in their season open-
er against Lafayette, the Red
Foxes had about the same num-
ber of total offensive yards (91)
as the Leopards' kicker made on
his two punts of the entire game
(87).
The end result was
a
49-0 vic-
tory that put a damper
on
the
start
of
the 2003 season.
For Marist, the introduction to
the 2004 season became
a
night-
marish replay of the opener from
the year prior as the Red Foxes
fell to the Leopards 48-7 in
Easton, Pa.
Facing the possibility of being
held sc,oreless for·eight consecu-
tive quarters in
·
two meetings
against Lafayette, the Red Foxes
ended their scoring drought in
the fourth quarter when Marist
scored a touchdown through
the
air.
With time winding down in the
fourth quarter, erasing any hopes
for
a
comeback, senior quarter-
back James Luft kept the team
moving for the endzone. Luft
marched the Red Foxes down-
field for an 11 play, 69-yard
drive, capped off by a seven-yard
pass to junior tight end Mike
Marshall. The reception in the
end zone was the first of
Marshall's career.
The seven yard pass was part of
47-total yards in the air, while
picking up 90-yards on the
ground.
Lafayette's ground game
proved to be too strong for the
Foxes to handle, nearly
doubling
Marist's
offensive output on the
ground. The Leopards
ran for 289-yards on
the day, led by Joe
Mccourt who rushed
for 86-yards, including
an 18-yard run that
started the scoring for
Lafayette with 8-:29 left
in the first quarter.

2 in overtime
By

Assistant Sports
Editor
The Marist women's soccer
team los~ a heartbreaker to the
University
of
Maryland,
Baltimore County Retrievers, 3-
2 in overtime
on
Sept. 4 at Md.
Less than one minute into the
overtime period, the Retrievers
bolted past the Red Foxes'
defenders, allowing Elizabeth
Day to boot the game-winning
goal past goalkeeper Danielle
Cibelli.
Although the result of the game
was upsetting for the Red Foxes,
they still displayed a hungry
demeanor and an energetic pres-
ence
on
the field.
During· the first period, the
Foxes broke the scoreless game,
as sophomore Jenna McCrory
belted the
ball
past the
Retrievers' sprawling goalkeeper
Robin Babaris, giving the Red
Foxes a 1-0 lead. Junior mid-
fielder
Liz
Egan
assisted
McCrory on the play, attaining
her first assist of the season.
However, the Retrievers
bounced back when Mary
Hearin guided a pass to
Jessica
Young, who quickly changed the
score to 1-1. Unfortunately for
the Red Foxes, Young was not
done.
With 2:19 left to play in the
first
half, Young
led the
Retrievers on
a breakaway, scor-.
ing the go-ahead goal and giving
her team a 2-1 lead. The score
remained 2-1 as the first half
elapsed.
As the second half began, the
Retrievers hoped to maintain the
lead and gain their first victory
of the season. Nevertheless, a
scoreless second half was not in
the
Retrievers'
future.
With just over
one
minute left
to play, Red Foxes' senior
Courtney Moore directed a pass
to forward Ashley Johnson, who
delivered the game-tying goal
and sent the game into overtime.
In the middle of overtime, Day
became the hero for the
Retrievers as she scored from
20-yards
_
out, putting the score at
3-2 and sending Marist home
with their third straight loss of
the season.
McCrory and Johnson had two
shots-on-goal each and McCrory
became the women Red Foxes'
season leader in points, with one
goal and one assist in their first
three games.
Cibelli had seven saves in the
game, while the Retrievers'
Babaris had five. The Retrievers
outshot the Red Foxes 15-10,
and this was the first overtime
game the women have played
since Oct. 12, 2003, when they
were against Canisius.

tars.
Dynamic changes in volume
frequent the tracks, making for
an unpredictable, though not
always coherent listen. The con-
stant shifting of the music gives
it a unique feel allowing the
group to somewhat transcend the
dreaded "emo" label, sounding
unlike other bands in their genre.
The band's strange rhythms
and abrupt changes in volume
throw the listener off, which is
why "Like Someone You Know"
is the strongest, most straightfor-
ward track on the entire album.
On this track, the band's expand-
ing sound is the loudest and most
forceful it has ever been, com-
plete with a catchy chorus. The
drums pound, the guitars wail,
and Bunch's voice is loud and
clear over everything, resulting
in an extremely powerful song.
Unlike the high energy level
displayed in the album's fourth
song, "Like Someone You
Know," the next tracks, "Make it
a Part" and "All Rise" eventually
·
fade in teqns of dynamics as a
result of the band's
inherent
awkwardness.
"Bleed" is a
weaker attempt at a pure rock
song, overusing the same over-
distorted guitar sounds and riffs
that have not changed since· the
album's opener.
"Hide Nothing" ends with its
best and most interesting track,
"For All We Know," which fea-
tures Bunch's falsetto vocals lay-
ered over piano and acoustic gui-
tar. Characterized by a constant-
ly building, orchestral-influ-
enced sound, "For All We
Know" is the perfect song to
bring the album to a beautiful
close.
In terms of their music, Colbert
and Cordoba's guitars comple-
ment each other well, but at the
same time Bunch's cliched lyrics
leave. something to be desired.
But producer James Paul Wisner
brings
complicated
music
together to form enjoyable,
radio-worthy tracks.
Further Seems Forever contin-
ues to search for an identity and
this album's inconsistency is
proof of that quest. Some songs
sound left over from the "How to

and others are contrived or over-
done. Then again, going through
three lead singers in three years
will complicate matters for any
band. If Jonathan Bunch stays

Three times, and always a charm
By
SARAH GUNNER
Staff
Writer
Eric Hutchinson returned to
Marist College for his third
appearance at the SPC coffee-
house last Thursday night.
Welcomed by freshmen and
upperclassmen alike, he immedi-
ately opened his set with
"Please." Once the song ended,
he joked with the crowd. "Ready
to judge me?" he said, beginning
his characteristic joking in
between songs that filled out his
entire act.
Hutchinson related extremely
well to the students, mentioning
changes in the Cabaret as well as
asking members of the audience
questions. He encouraged the
audience to sing and clap along,
often noting that he felt the
crowd was not nearly as enthusi-
astic as they could be.
Hutchinson's second song,
"Breakdown More;• was an
average-sounding,
pop-influ-
enced acoustic guitar melody
with mediocre lyrics. This was
the norm for Hutchinson, who
seemed
to rely on his comedic
adroitness, not his musical, to
entertain the crowd. His ability
to make the students laugh sup-
plemented a performance that
was neither particularly innova-
tive nor extraordinary.
Hutchinson began his third
song by joking that it had
received some airplay on the
radio. He then launched into a
cover of the popular Prince song,
"When Doves Cry." The crowd
seemed
to enjoy the upbeat gui-
tar, and many sang along with
Hutchinson during the chorus.
"This next song is called 'Too
Bad,' because Michael Jackson
alrea<!y used the regular 'Bad,"'
said Hutchinson about his fourth
song. He then commented, "I'm
not going pop-y enough for you
guys," and began his fifth song,
which was new.
In the middle of
the new song he broke out into
Ashlee Simpson's pop single,
"Pieces of Me." When he con-
cluded the song he stated, "I was
working on that song and I real-
ized why it wasn't that bad -
I
ripped it off Ashlee Simpson."
Hutchinson's sixth song,
"Nadine,"
was
also
new.
Basically, this was just a slower
rendition of the predictable gui-
tar work and unspectacular lyrics
that comprise his entire reper-
toire. His seventh song, "Western
Charms," languished in the same
vein. However, with his eighth
song
"Subtitles"
he broke his
trend of musical tepidness, dis-
playing a jazzier melody and
more elegant lyrics. This w11s the
longest he played without throw-
ing in a cover.
Hutchinson ended that streak,
covering "The Way You Make
Me Feel" as his next song. He
roused the audience, encourag-
ing everyone to sing and clap
along while channeling Michael
Jackson shrieks and hit the high
notes. He ad-libbed a f~\\'. lines
about a girl in the front of the
audience, of whom he had asked
a few questions before he began
to sing. This audience interaction
made Hutchinson fun to watch
and engaged the rest of the
crowd, who seemed to connect

with him throughout the show.
His tenth song, "All Used
Up," was another original. A
slower, more reflective song,
Hutchinson said that he dedicat-
ed it "to anybody who came here
with a date hoping to break up
with them. I've done it a few
times. Just point up to the stage
and say 'He's got it - maybe we
can leave separately."' Although
joking, Hutchinson seemed to
depreciate !us own song.
The unspectacular eleventh
song of the evening segued into
his most popular song of the
night,
"Rock
and
Roll."
Members of the audience had
been calling for it since the
show's beginning, and once it
began, the audience became
more animated than it had been
the rest of the evening. Clapping,
singing along, and swaying to
the music, the audience thor-
oughly enjoyed the catchy
melody and clever
lyrics-.
Hutchinson then performed a
medley of clips from his CD,
"That Could Have Gone Better,"
to give the crowd a sampling of
his album. His 14 and last song
was yet another cover, beginning
with Justin Timberlake's "Cry
Me a River" and flowing into
Beyonce's
"Crazy."
He conclud-
ed his show on a cheerful note,
leaving the audience laughing
and satisfied.
Overall, Hutchinson's per-
formance was one that was
enjoyable and engaged the
crowd. Although his set was
nothing particularly special, his
voice is solid and his songs are

Josh Kelley gives glimpse of his
"Amazing" self during performance
By
MELISSA DAVIS
Circle Contributor
Who
is Josh Kelley?
This
question domi-
nates the conversation of the packed Nelly
Galetti Theatre
on the
night of Saturday,
~ept.
4. According to sophomQre Corey
Allen, students "kind of know" who this
singer is, and they have heard "that one
song he did," but such assertions are quick-
ly followed by "How does it
gp
again?"
and a shaky rendition of his debut single
"Amazing," from the album "For The Ride
Home" ensues.
As the lights dimmed, the audience's
anticipation rose. Kelley came on stage,
played a few chords, introduced himself
and proceeded to put on an excellent show,
during which he played not only his own
songs but covers of the Steve Miller Band
and Radiohead. Kelley also introduced the
audience to an untitled song that he wrote
"like four days," before the concert, about
the excitement of a college freshman mak-
ing midnight visits someone he is attracted
to.
Kelley's musical performance endured
two broken ,guitar strings, a great deal of
improvisati~. and a
mix
of the lapsteel,
played expertly by his companion Ben
Peeler and acoustic guitar. There was even
a jam session with Peeler playing what
Kelley called "a little dirty Mississippi."
As the show progressed, Kelley's intrigue
grew as he jumped
from
playing a song
about hooking up to "Everybody Wants
You," which he explains to be a personal
note to himself to stay grounded. Kelley
explained,
''Ies
kind of like it would be my
mom saying this to me."
Josh Kelley is not one to shy away
from
gratuit()us self-promotion, as he used
Napster
as
a vessel in which to propel his
career.
•tt
started recording in my dorm room,
uploaded
my
music to Napster and started
SPAM mailing all the Napster users saying,
'Hey
check me out,'" he said.
Kelley does not mind being compared to
other artists.
"I
don't really mind being compared to
[Mayer]. When he came out, ev~ryone said
he was the next Dave Matthews. It is kind
of necessary and
it doesn't matter really.
People need comparisons to figure out
what the music is and make sense of
it.
But
all that doesn't matter, when my nex.t
album comes out, there
will
be no more
comparisons.
I'm
coming out with guns
blazing."
Kelley has been keeping himself
busy;
writing material for his second album, ten•
tatively due out next summer, and collabo-
rating with artists such as Better Than
Ezr~
Desmond Childs, and
Jump Little
Children. He has also been on tour with
Dave Matthews Band.
Who is Josh Kelley? He's a southern
boy
who believes in hard w0rk, perseverance,
and the ever-popular music piracy for
pro-
motional purposes.. If you are like freshman
Sean Dillon, you would know that Kelley
is "something to look fotward to."
