Community voices concern over off-campus partying
By

Ear-splitting noise, garbage Lit-
tering the hallways, inebriated
neighbors urinating everywhere,
and the putrid stench of stale
beer: all reasons some students
choose to move to a different
dorm or off-campus.
Off-campus Marist students in
Poughkeepsie have their new
neighbors wishing there was
some other locale to which
they
could move to as well. In a city
hall meeting Sept.
13,
local offi-
cials revealed that they have
been inundated with complaints
from residents about student par-
ties on their streets. A task force

A hairy situation
BY MELISSA DAVIS
Circle Contributor
Going to Marist's fashion
department at midnight and find-
ing an anti-fur sign posted on the
glass doors is not an everyday
occurrence. However, this is
what was found last Wednesday,
Sept.
15.
Signs reading, "Do you
have a
conscience?" were
accompanied by pictures of a
Richard Kramer.
The use of fur has been a heavy
debate in the fashion world.
Posters proclaiming, "The most
stylish way to beat the weather
this season ... think mink!" from
1972
in Vogue, hung in the fash-
ion department which may be
what provoked the protest
posters. "They put up these signs

Everyone is throwing back their product to yester
year styles. Starter, Reebok, Nike, JC Penny, I mean
I dare you to find a top merchandiser that's not. We
have hats and jerseys with color patterns that
haven't seen the light of day since before Rony
Seikaly could even palm a basketball. I mean I got
my Denver Nuggets rainbow jersey on right now.
So I was thinking, if all these cool companies are
doing this, why can't the Security Briefs? There is
nothing wrong with a little retro action every now
and then. Good movie by the way. So, I thought
this was the perfect idea after the secµrity office
stood me up for the interview this week. So without
any further ado, here are the security briefs of this
week in 1999.

An "Upper" Townhouse resident called security

Myers.

Another feature oflnside Out is

by calendar editor and contribut-

Sacks also said that the maga-

the

that Marist has

"Marist is

Inside Out from phwes as far
away
as

But the magazines offices, how-
ever, are based locally in New

Assistant professor of
history
at
Marist College John G White
was one of the first people pro-
filed in Inside Out's March/April
2004
fSUe.
Her column in the March/April
2004 issue dealt with the anxiety
a student faces when deciding
whether or not to be openly gay.
The article included quotes
from local college students from
Marist and SUNY New Paltz.
Her
column
in
the
September/October 2004 issue
provided scholarship informa-
tion for GLBT students.
Sacks wants to write articles
that
inform
and enlighten stu-
dents about the GLBT communi-
ty.
"I hope I can play a small part,"
"The main goal of the maga-
zine is to merge these groups,"
Sacks said.
Currently Inside Out has a
Webpage; however, Saoks said
that its goal is to produce a
Website that community mem-
bers can visit to access informa-
tion about events in the Hudson
River Valley.
She also said that Inside Out is
not averse to change.

ideas," she said.

As the 2004
presidential
cam-
paign moves into its final stages,
President Bush has moved from
framing Massachusetts senator
John Kerry as a wook and indeci-
sive flip-flopper to defining the
major issues. Last week, he
spoke about health care.
On Sept. 9, President
Bush
said
that "in order to make sure health
care is available and affordable,
we've got to do something a\1out
the frivolous
lawsuits
that are
running good doctors out of
practice ... we must protect small
business owners and workers
from the explosion of frivolous
lawsuits that threaten jobs across
America."
But scratch below the surface
of this rousing rhetoric and you
will find that it is not the small
business owners Bush seeks to
protect,
•
but rather the corporate
interests that have funneled mil-
lions of dollars into his re-elec-
tion campaign. In this election
cycle,
President Bush has
received over $4.4 million from
insurance
companies,
and
between
2000 and 2002, more
than
100 companies
have
employed 475 different lobbyists
to push for tort
reform,
convinc-
·
ing Congress to pass a measure
requmng
sanctions
against
lawyers
who file frivolous law-
suits.
Ever since John Kerry selected
fri ala ttorney-turned-N orth
Carolina senator
John Edwards
as his running mate, the Bush
campaign has condemned trial
lawyers
with more vitriol than
with which they have damned
Osama
bin Laden. The former is
ridiculed while the latter has
been forgotten.
The president's charge that trial
lawyers are driving up
healthcare
costs with frivolous
lawsuits
just
doesn't hold up. Data compiled
by the Department of Justice's
Bureau of Justice Statistics
showed that from 1992 to 2001,
the number of civil trials has
actually decreased by 4 7 percent.
In 2001, overall damage awards
shrank from the 1992 high of
$65,000
to
just $37,000.
According to an article in the Los
Angeles Times, "these cases
included automobile accidents,
medical malpractice and
tprod
-
uct-liability claims."
Meanwhile, a study from the
nonpartisan congressional budg-
et office has concluded that
"malpractice costs account for
less than 2 percent of healthcare
spending" and even a sharp drop
in premiums would reduce the
nation's healthcare bill only by
less than half of one percent.
.
But facts have no effect on the
president. Let's just hope they
still compel the American peo-
ple.

It
is difficult to write about
improving Marist without men-
tioning safety and security.
If
Marist College is. serious about
keeping its students safe, then
why does it allow vans to pull up
in front of Donnelly and take
underage students to venues in
which the college knows there
will be heavy alcohol consump-
tion?
.
Vans transporting students to
bars and frat parties should only
be allowed on areas of the cam-
pus where upperclassmen live.
The college could also keep
unwanted visitors from entering
the campus and
terrorizing
stu-
dents by blocking two of the
three vehicle entrances to the
college
between
11 p.m. and 5
a.m.
on
weekends.
It
is .about
time those CRV's are put to good
use.
This editorial serves to begin a
discussion within the Marist
community. Those who agree
with any of these suggestions
should contact the Student
Goven)inent Association.
If
SGA is the voice of the stu-
dent body, then it should stop
making excuses for why its
members won't pursue policy
changes and start standing up
to
a stagnant administration.
An institution may improve
itself only through constructive
criticism. Happy students will
take pride in their school and
advocate the college. This is why
student
life
should be a funda-
mental issue to the administra-
tion. By making its students a
priority, Marist College will con-
tinue to fulfill the virtues of its
mission statement.

Teachers,
.
plea
se raise yo
ur expectations
By
BRIAN GOODRIC
H
·
Circle Contributor
Speaking on behalf of the stu-
dent body, I would like to call
upon all the various teachers
across the Marist College cam-
pus to help us all achieve more
than we ever have before in our
classes this semester. Whether
you'~e been teaching here at
Marist for 20 years or are just
starting your career, please help
us work harder. Don't be afraid
to test our limits-we welcome
an academic chllenge.
Not
only will we gain the important
skills that we will need to enter
the job market when our college
years are over, but we will gain
an immeasurable sense of pride
in our fellow students, our
teachers, and our school as a
whole.
Now I understand that this
appeal may come as a surprise to
both teachers and students alike,
but entertain this request and
place some faith in the leaders of
tomorrow for just a moment.
The student body here at
Marist is filled with bright, ener-
getic students who have great
academic potential.
Although
we come from different parts of
the country and even different
parts of the world, we are all the
same in the sense that we have
the capacity to accomplish great
things when we are prodded to
do so. While a laudable portion
of the Marist student body is
currently striving to do the best
they can (with the help of some
very devoted teachers), popular
opinion across campus surmises
'
that the majority of students take
a far more relaxed approach
·
to
their studies.
Teachers ,can do an immeasur-
able service for the student body
by helping students achieve
more in their
harder.
Tougher classes can
result in changes not only in the
classroom but also across cam-
pus in the non-academic realm.
If students are pushed to work
harder and think more about
their

academic effort and scholastic
interaction. Tougher classes will
yield higher results for students
than just the ability to answer
questions correctly on Jeopardy
( although this may be viewed as
an important skill in the eyes of
some). Classes themselves will
become livelier as students who
are asked to aim higher
try
occur on a regular basis here on
campus
.
I am by no means saying that
students should devote every
single remaining hour of the
semester to their studies. Yes,
occasional ''partying" is indeed
an important part of the college
experience
.
This may come as a
surprise, but the student body
•
will come to cherish its "down-
time" even more if further atten-
tion is devoted to classes result-
ing from teachers raising their
expectations.
Weekend talks
about "that good-looking person
in your morning class" will sud-
denly be transformed info dis-
cussions about "the conflicting
interpretations of contemporary
applications of Adam Smith's
The Wealth of Nations"
(well
that may be a stretch-but at
least give it a chance).
In closing, I have an appeal for
the students. Your teachers can
only push you so far. No matter
how high teachers raise theii:
levels of expectations this
~emester, there will still be holes
that even the best the teachers
cannot
fill.
However, we do not
attend college in order to have
our teachers alone lead our aca-
demic pursuits (that's what high
school was for). The burden is
on us-the students-to do bet-
ter. While it may be hard to
admit right now we will thank
ourselves down the road for hav-
ing made a stronger academic
effort while pursuing our under-
graduate degrees. Four years is
a very short time--dQD 't wait
until they've passed by and only
then regret that you did not
make the best effort possible
during your college years.
Unwittingly, what we do now
will indeed affect the course of
our futures.
If
both students and
teachers do their part to increase
the level of academia here at
Matist, the limits of our future
achievements are endless.

"And the winner is ... 'Angels

In America."' This phrase was
heard a total of 11 times at the
.
Fifty-Sixth
Annual
Emmy

Awards this year. Students at

of hearing Tony Kushner, the
author of this ground-breaking
screen-play, last Thursday in
the Nelly Goletti Theatre, cour-
.
tesy
of
the

Marist Honors Program.
Kushner, a Pulitzer Prize
winner, spoke on many issues
·
which ranged from the wars in
·
Iraq and Afghanistan, the pres-
ident, the education syste
_
m,
and even managed to throw in a
dream sequence.
Kushner
wowed the audience with his
up-front views and his remark-
able way with words. The
words "extreme" and "outra-
geous" barely do his narration
justice. He compared our cur-
rent president George W. Bush
to a devolving parasitic organ-
ism then proceeded to com-
ment, "I watched him address
the country with that ever-pres-
ent smirk, the one that takes the
place of intelligence." Kushner
spoke to an eager crowd that
devoured every word.
Kushner also made a point of
encouraging students to take
the power of knowledge into
their own hands to make posi-
tive changes in our world

Hudson is

source of Marist's water supply
By
KRISTEN ALLDREDGE
Health Editor
Do you know where your water comes from? Many members of the
Marist community are unaware that their water comes from the
Hudson River and is purified by a plant on campus. Common knowl-
edge of the Hudson's polluted waters creates shocked and disturbed
reactions.

The Hudson shore at the Marist Brothers' retreat center in Esopus.
Contamination from polychlorinated
biphenyls
(PCB's)
was
recognized in
1974,
primarily
at the
fault
of General Electric
Company. They
were dumping PCB
's into the river and ground
between
plants,
and when
the dam was removed the pollutants
washed downstream and collected in basins,
called hot
spots.
The
organization, Essential Information
founded
by
Ralph
Nader,
reports that
PCB's can damage the immune, reproductive,
nervous and
endocrine systems, and
can
impair children's
phys-
ical and

development.

that
PCB's cause cancer

It is no surprise that newcomers to the Marist community raise
health concerns upon realizing Marist's water
source.
"I'm very surprised to hear that," freshman
Danielle Morrison
said. "I'm a little nervous, actually. Is it well purified?"
Hold
on
to your Britas. Although Marist's water supply
originates
in the
Hudson
River, it undergoes purification
through
the
Poughkeepsie Water Treatment Facility (PWTF)
located between
campus and the river.
Despite
its
location, many
students and staff
members are unaware of the connection
this
plant has with the river
and the water we drink.
"I never connected the water treatment center
on campus
with
fil-
tering
water from
the Hudson,"
said sophomore Alyssa
Hanley.
PWTF's
mission statement declares, "We consistently,
profes-
sionally and economically produce
a
high quality drinking water
that meets the
needs
of
our
customers." They install additional
chemical treatments to reduce lead from plumbing
fixtures and
chlorine to disinfect disease-causing organisms. A
detailed process
of water
purification
can
be
found at their website,
Pokwater.com
In
addition to the
purification process,

of contaminants in the river sediment. The health
department of Duchess County agrees that the water
does not have a threatening level of PCB contamina-

Steve Schwartz, sailing instructor, told his class that
the section of the river by Marist is the cleanest part.
"I've been swimming in it for years and have never
had any medical problems," Schwartz said.
Currently,

'Typical college band' enjoys uncommon success
Stephen Kellogg is welcomed back to Marist, this time as headlining act
By
ALEXANDRIA BRIM
Staff Writer
Echoing throughout the
Student Center on Friday, Sept.
17 were the sounds of guitars
and drums mixed with enthusias-
tic laughter as curious freshmen
and
excited
upperclassmen
inside the Nelly Goletti Theater
were treated to a
remarkable
concert by returning act Stephen
Kellogg and the Sixers.
Stephen Kellogg and band-
mates Brian Factor, Keith
Karlson and Chris Soucy were
happy to return to Marist as the
main act, a significant jump from
when they were here as an open-
ing act a few years ago. "The
main event ... wow ... I'm excit-
ed," Kellogg .said about the con-
cert.
Relaxing in the Student
Center's green room before the
show, the Sixers look like the
average
.
college band, sitting
around strumming guitars and
playing around with each other
as the musicians on campus tend
to do. Except, oh yeah, they have
a record contract.
"We actually just finished
recording an album down in
New York City," Kellogg
said.
going on to expltrin. that he
is
enjoying all aspects of
life
in
midtown Manhattan, specifically
mentioning the food. "We've
been eating at some good restau-
rants---:-and when I say restau-
rants, I mean delis," Kellogg
said, smiling. He and the other
Sixers recounted some other
New York experiences, includ-
ing playing at the College of
Staten Island. "I like it here [at
Marist] better," he said.
Preceded by Marist guitar duo
F~ankie and Davy and country
singer Kristin Diablo, Stephen
Kellogg and the Sixers took the
stage, filling the room with the
playful atmosphere that had per-
meated from the green room ear-
lier. Playing
·
music off their lat-
est CD,
Bulletproof Heart, the
band members missed no oppor-
tunity to make fun of each other.
To the audience's pleasure, the
band playfully performed a med-
ley of popular music, including
Nelly's
"Hot
in Herre" and
Kelis'
"Milkshake."
During
"Milkshake,"
Stephen addressed
the audience,
saying
how he
always
wondered what the
"milkshake"
was.
An enthusias-
tic audience member soon sup-
plied the answer. "It's this!" she
cried, shimmying. Satisfied-
and
amused-Kellogg
continued
singing.
The
concert concluded
with
a
group rendition of Billy Joel's
"Piano
Man" as Kellogg,
along
with all of the evening's per-
formers,
returned
to the stage,
providing a remarkable ending to
an
exceptional
concert.
Returning act Stephen Kellogg and the Slxers entertained Marlst students on Friday, Sept. 17. The crowd present
in
the Nelly Golletl Theater was
enthusiastic and seemed to enjoy the band's energetic performance. Stephen Kellogg and the Slxers played music off of their latest CD,
Bulletproof
Heart, which the band just finished recording In New York City.
A rock opera that thrives in its turbulent political context
Green Days latest musical endeavor stimulates both sides of the brain
By
ROB CELLffil
Staff Writer
"I'm
not a part of a
redneck
agenda," Billie Joe Armstrong
sang with
conviction
while his
band Green Day performed on
The Late Show with David
Letterman two Mondays ago.
Not
far
from the band
stood
United States senator and presi-
dential hopeful John Kerry, who
had been a guest on the
show
·
earlier that evening. When the
band
finished
its
rousing
"American
Idiot"

the title track
and first single
from
their first
studio release in four years
-
Letterman
shook
their hands and
said, "Good
luck in
November,"
which brought a
smile
to
Armstrong's
face.
Clearly, David Letterman
knows what's
at
stake this
fall,
and by the lyrics on
"American
Idiot," it
is
obvious that
so
does
Green Day.
They
have
created
their best and most
socially
and
politically conscious album to
date. What
is even more
impres-
sive is that they've done it in the
form of a punk-rock opera.
That's
right,
a
punk-rock opera.
This is not just an album that
tells a
story
like
The
Who's
"Tommy" or Andrew
Lloyd
Weber and
Tim
Rice's
"Jesus
Christ Superstar." It is
an
album
that
expresses disgust with
the
current state of America
through
the
stories
of
three
fictional char-
acters:
Jesus
of Suburbia, St.
Jimmy,
and
Whatsemame
.
These
characters represent the
suburban youth of America (who
comprise the majority of Green
Day's audience), who
feel
disen-
franchised by the big machine
that American politics has
become.
Evidently,
this album is not
.
a
collection of songs about teen
angst. The first song,
"American
Idiot," sets the stage lyrically,
proclaiming Green Day's current
feelings
about
America o'i the
listener, for the
"redneck agen-
da" line
is
not the only one that
takes a
shot
at the Bush
Administration. This
is
't
he
only
song that does not
directly con-
tribute to
the stories being told
but instead serves
as an opening
statement,
allowing
lyricist
Armstrong
to explore
the
charac-
ters and the different
ways they
react to their
surroundings,

This is
Green Day's
version of
"God
Save the Queen." The Sex
•
Pistols would be
v~ry
proud.
The lyrics
aren't
even half
of
what makes this
album
so spe-
cial. The music behind them is
some of the
best that
Armstrong,
bassist Mike Dirnt, and
drum.mer
Tre Cool have
ever written.
It
is
ambitious
and pushes
the genre
of pop-punk to another
level.
Yes, there are times
when
Green
Day falls
back on
its traditional
three-chord, hook-laden formula
that has worked for
over
l
0
years, but the moments when
they stray from
that make
this
album extraordinary.
Two songs
-
"Jesus of
Suburbia"
and
"Homecom
ing"
-
are over
nine minutes long and
divided
into
five
parts.
Transitions between sections are
so smooth and expertly executed
that
you almost forget that you
are
listening
to Green Day.
"Homecoming"
is especially
"ahs." That sec-
tion
is
aptly titled
·
"Rock and
Roll
Girlfriend."
The
nine-minute epics are
not
the only
highlights
,
however.
On
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
and "Are We Waiting?" the band
eschews its pop-punk roots com-
pletely and opts for a more alter-
native sound. Pretty guitar lines
blend
wonderfully and build into
soaring choruses. L~ter on, the
band
experiments
.
with every-
thing from synthesizers to voice
effects to tribal percussion.
Green Day retains its hallmark
sound, and "American Idiot" has
incredible
balance from start to
finish.
Armstrong's ear for a
catchy tune never fails, which is
why many of the songs on the
record
•
sound like they could
receive heavy radio play.
The only way to fully enjoy
Green Day's
new
album is from
beginning to end.
Otherwise,
you will miss out on not only the
strong political message, but on
some great music as well.

Volleyball swept in opener by CCSU, Delaware
By
ANDY ALONGI
Staff Writer
The women's volleyball team
lost two heart-breaking games
against Central Connecticut State
University and the University of
Delaware on Friday, Sept. 17.
The tournament kicked off for
Marist as they took on the Blue
Devils, falling in three games,
30-23, 30-28, and 30-25.
Junior Chantelle Bowden led
the Blue Devils of CCSU with 14
kills and four assists.
Coach Sarah Watters said the
team came out flat and not ready
to play.
"Central Connecticut is a tough
team that is older and more expe-
rienced," she said. "We came out
flat and not ready to play. We
gave up too many points."
Seniors Jennifer Cote and
Shannon Verity added 12 kills
each.
Sophomore middle blocker
Sally Hanson led the team with
12 kills and two digs. Junior set-
ter M\lghan Cochrane and frosh
setter Lauren Nikides added 24
and 11
assists respectively,
acc<?unting for 3 5 of the Red
Foxes' 38 assists. Junior libero
Katie Lux led 'tl_ie defensive
effort with 10 digs.
Looking to bounce back from a
tough loss in their first match of
the day, Marist battled the
Delaware Blue Hens on Friday
,
evening.
However, the Blue Hens would
emerge victorious in three
games, 30-26, 30-20, and 30-22.
Senior Valerie Murphy stimu-
lated the Blue Hen offense with
15 kills while her stand-out
teammate, sophomore Claire
McCormack, contributed 10
kills.
In the losing effort, Marist
found bright spots in senior Amy
Gillespie, who had 12 kills and
two digs. Sophomore Stephanie
Miksch added eight kills.
Defensively, Lux scooped up
11 digs, Nikides and sophomore
Jamie Kenworthy added nine
digs each.
Gillespie and ·Hanson finished
both events totaling 19 kills
each, and Cochrane had

assists.
Defensively,
Jamie

After dropping the first two
games of the weekend to Central
Connecticut State and Delaware
on Friday, head women's coach
Sarah Watters was looking for a
better all-around effort on
Saturday.
That's what she got - and more.
The Red Foxes rebounded to
sweep their matches on Saturday,

finishing the weekend 2-2 and
taking a third place finish in the
tournament.
The day
began
by beating a
tough Brown University squad
3-1.
Watters said the match was a
good win.
"Probably the best we've
played all year," she said.
Senior Amy Gillespie (Lebo,
KS) led Marist with a game-high
14 kills. Also contributing were
Jamie Kenworthy (11 kills, IO
digs), Sally Hanson (11 kills, 8
digs) and Katie Lux (14 digs).
"We finally came together and
started to play like a team. They
don't play like
a
young team,"
coach Watters said. "They're
fun
to coach."
Marist was not done, however.
The Red Foxes then wept on to
beat Holy Cross in five games.
The Crusaders won the first
·
game of the match, 30-28, and
then Marist won games two and
three, both 30-26. Holy Cross
rallied back in the fourth, win-
ning it 30-27 and Marist took
home fame five 15-12. The team
notched 123 team digs defen-
sively.
Kenworthy again performed
well for Marist, finishing the
game with 23 kills and 25 digs,
while Hanson added a career-
high eight aces.
The star of the second game,
however, was Meghan Cochrane
(Placentia,
CA).
The junior setter
broke the career assists record
during the match and now is in
sole possession of the record
with 2,669. Cochrane began with
season 340 assists shy of Ellie
Schuerger's record of 2,620 and
bested the mark just minutes into
the first game against Holy
Cross. Cochrane finished with 56
assists on the day.
"We did some good things,"
said Coach Watters. "We're a lit-
tle more experienced versus
toug~ competition and it gave us
a better understanding of the per-
sonnel and the kind of offense
we want to
run."
The Red Foxes (7-4) hope for
another strong showing at home
this weekend, as they play host
to Hartford, West Virginia and
Columbia.

Women's cross country gallops to first place finish at the Rider Invitational

at

scoring 16 points on the day with

graduate
student
Diane
Matthews leading the way with a
first place finish.
Matthews, who was running in
her first cross country race as a
Red Fox, finished the 5000/m
course in 18:53.
Coach Phil Kelly said he
expected a great performance
from Matthews
.
"She was the best performer in
practice so this performance on
Saturday wasn't a big surprise to
me," he said.
However
,
Marist was far from
finished on the day once
Matthews crossed the finish line
as the five of the next nine
run-
ners to place were Red Foxes.
Finishing in second and third
place behind Matthews were

Coach Phil

"Both did very well, both are
very good runners out of high
school, and along with Heidi
Richards they have been consis-
tently solid performers so far,"
Kelly said.
The Red Foxes saw strong per-
formances from frosh Richards
(19:57)
and junior Denise
Tumulty (20:25), who finished
sixth and tenth respectively.
"We really ran outstandingly
considering the weather condi-
tions," said Tumulty. "We domi-
nated the whole field, and it
helped
the freshmen gain confi-
dence, and gave us momentum
for the rest of the season."
The team will compete in the
Paul Short Invitational hosted by
Lehigh University on Saturday,
Sept 25. The meet will feature to
upwards of 39 teams, including
several top tiered teams and will
be a much tougher contest for the
Red Foxes.
"If
we finish in the top half of
the field, say thirteenth or four-
teenth place, that'll
.
be a good fin-
ish," said Kelly.

Great Danes hunt down Red Foxes
By
MARK PERUGINI
Assistant Sports Editor
After notching an impressive
4-

win
against the Fordham Rams
on Sept.
15,
the Red Foxes hoped
to attain their second win of the
season against the University of
Albany.
Unfortunately, Great Danes'
sophomore Yan Gbolo would
prevent that from happening.
The Great Danes' speedy Gbolo
knocked in both goals as Albany
edged Marist 2-1 on a windy
Sept.
19
afternoon.
With 17:20 left in the second
half and the score notched at
1-1,
Gbolo slipped by senior goal-
keeper Mike Valenti, who tried to
clear the ball away from the
pesky Great Dane forward.
Gbolo maneuvered past one
Marist defender and tipped in the
game-winning goal

into the mid-
dle of the net, giving the Great
Danes a 2-1 lead.
Red Foxes coach Bobby
Herodes said the team is very tal-
ented despite its disappointing
record.
"Our kids played great," he
said. "We are an outstanding
team with a 1-3 record. Things
just have not gone our way. [The
record] is very disturbing and
brings a level beyond frustra-
tion."

guided to an open Yan Gbolo.
Gbolo streaked past the Marist
defenders and pounded the ball
into the back of the net on a
break-away goal, giving the
Great Danes a 1-0 lead.
Herodes said the team must
limit opponent's scoring opportu-
nities.
"Finishing has been a problem,
no doubt," he said. "Our main
problem is allowing one or more
goals per game. We cannot be a
successful Division I program
with that type of dilemma."

Detelj temporarily ended the
Great banes' celebration when
he juked past Albany's middle
