You have to fight, for your right, to run this country
By
ALEXANDER 0.
PANAGIOTOPOULOS
. Assistant Sports Editor
The election is not officially
over.
Vice-presidential candidate
John Edwards, in a 2:30 a.m.
speech in Boston Wednesday
morning, pledged to keep fight-
ing until the last vote was
.
counted.
"We waited four years for this
victory," he sai~. "We can wait
one more night."
The issue of Ohio's 20 elec-
toral votes and the neck-and-
neck race between President
Bush and Senator Kerry made
declaring a definitive winner in
the election impossible on
Tuesday night.
Surprisingly, there weren't
any discrepancies in the state of
Florida.
The counting of
Florida's approximately 90,000
a~sentee ballots, which is
expected to continue until
Thursday, Nov. 4, should have
been an issue of major scrutiny:
However, Bush was estimated
to have a lead of about 300,000
votes in the state of Florida.
Bush, with 51 percent, won
the majority of the popular
vote, while Kerry won 48 per-
cent. It was estimated that a
record 120 million voters
showed up to the polls. The
day before the election, Reuters
polls showed that 10 states
were statistically tied in voter
support, while nationally the
candidates were tied at 49 per-
cent each.
Jon Stewart, host of the late-
night cable fake news program
"The Daily Show," said on his
special election-night show that
there were three possible out-
comes of the election: Kerry
wins, Bush wins, or civil war.
Mike Gaughran, an Adelphi
University sophomore and
loyal Democrat, was despon-
dent when reached early
Wednesday morning.
"I'd pe lying ifl said I wasn't
really disappointed," he said.
"I'm so furious at the Bush
administration for everything
that has gone on, but also
because -I've poured so much
time and energy into supporting
the Kerry campaign."
Keith Voss Jun, Republican
and Marist student, was not sur-
prised to go to bed Tuesday
night without really

knowing
who won for sure.

A presidential election will

MCTV, not missing their
opportunity to make history,
hosted an unprecedented six

live event, bringing cover-
age of the 2004 presidential elec-
tion to the college.community.
As the final countdown began,
the newsroom fell silent as these
students realized the magnitude
and significance of their under-
taking.
·
Ralph Filardo III, execu-
tive producer of the show .and
director of news, MCTV, decid-
·
ed during the summer that this
project was something the club
should aim for.
·
"We knew about a month ago
that we were definitely going to
do this, and prepared for three
weeks straight," Filardo said.
The program, entitled 'Rock
the
Vote
2004,
America
Decides,' was hosted by six
anchors; Ralph Filardo, Amer
Nabil,
Louis
Ortiz,
Kate
Dayman, Christina Garibaldi and
Joanne Brakatselos.
'At times it brought tears
to my eyes to realize how
far the club has come.'

meant dealing with news as it
happened and scripts were writ-
ten and rewritten throughout the
night as the poll results came in.
In addition to straight news
coyerage, ~porters were sent out
into the field to gather student
perspectives on the election for a
dorm challenge competition.
The sophomores were declared
the winners of this competition,
in which they were asked ques-
tions regarding this and prior
year's presidential elections.
Live in-studio guests were
interviewed, including Marist
Poll representatives Greg Morse
and Jon Sumler, and SGA repre-
sentatives Linda Crane, Rachel
Mills, Ken Juras and Brandan
Lee, who each represented a dif-
ferent political view and dis-
cussed their feelings on several
different topics including educa-
tion, health and taxation policies.

New Paltz welcomes Ralph Nader on his campaign trail

The inevitable stench of some
700 people hung heavily in a
packed SUNY New Paltz lecture
hall on Sunday as Ralph Nader
hunched over a podium.
Nader was in New Paltz on one
of the last stops of his tour of all
50 states. The people were there
either to cheer for him, to
respectfully disagree with him,

Student Activities and SGA rekindle College Bowl
By
ALISSA BREW
News Editor
Are you ready to rumble? The
College Bowl has come to
Marist
College and will take
place
on
Saturday Nov. 20, at 9
a.m. on
the third floor of the
Student Center.
"It's
a
fast-paced academic
tournament
similar
to Jeopardy,"
said
Michele Fischetti, assistant
director
of student activities.
Student Activities and the
Student Government Association
(SGA) are joining together
to
bring back
the competition to
Marist
College. Marist last ran
this
event two years ago.
Fischetti said that this competi-
tion is just for fun and to
pique
the interest of the students.
"We [Student Activities and
SGA]
are
trying to bring back the
spirit of the College Bowl to
campus,"
she
said.
Sophomore
Michael
McLaughlin, vice president of
academic affairs said that Marist
will gain from hosting .this com-
petition.
"It's an important program
because a. it puts us [Marist] on
the map and b. it's something
that is academically challeng-
ing," he said.
fhe teams for this competition
can be a mix of any four partici-
pants that include students, fac-
ulty or staff. Teams can pick up
forms at the Office of College
Activites, which are due back by
Wednesday, Nov.
13.
Senior Maria Negron who will
participate in the College Bowl
on the Sigma Sigma Sigma team,
said that she is happy to be a part
of the game.
"I've always liked the idea of
various groups coming together
for a fun event like this," she
said. "Not
to
mention I'd like to
show people that Greek
life
isn't
all fun and games. We are actu-
ally intelligent people . .
.
we
actually have to maintain mini-
mum GPA's to participate and it
will be nice to demonstrate that
on campus a little more."
Two teams will go, head-to-
head and be asked randomly
selected questions that
are
pro-
vided by the Association of
College Unions
International
(ACUI) an organization that has
helped the College Bowl run its
program since 1976.
Fischetti said that the bank of
questions that the ACUI provid-
ed is enormous.
"It's everything and anything
you could ever think of," she
said.
However, Fischetti said that the
questions should not intimidate
any team that wants to partici-
pate.
"It doesn't matter if it's tough,"
she said. "This is going to be
pure fun."
Negron said that some teams
will compete to win and others
are looking to have a good time.
"Everyone's going to want to
win, but I think everyone's going
to have a really good time as
well," she said.
Student Activities is looking
for volunteers to help run the
event, as well as anyone who
wants to be a part of the audi-
ence. Fischetti said that students,
as well
as
some faculty members
have already expressed
interest
in the event.
"there's a lot of interest," she
said. "I'm hoping to get 10
teams."
Junior Matthew Hittenmark,
vice president of club affairs said
that the College Bowl should
gain the imterest of clubs
because the event is a part of a
club challenge.
If
a club won the
College Bowl it would receive
ten points towards the coveted
Club of the Year award.
The (::ollege Bowl is one of the
12 possible club challenges.All
together, the club challenges
comprise 1 /3 of the requirements
that are needed to win Club of
the Year.
Hittenmark said that is not the
only
award
a team could receive.
"They [the winning partici-
pants] get an overall self-aware-
ness of their own intellectual
ability."
The College Bowl in conjW?-c-
tion with ACUI has aided the
contest between colleges since
,
1976, when the campus pro-
grams were first initiated. The
ACUI provides volunteers for
campus, regional, and national
contests. Over
500
schools have
participated in these competi-
tions, and Marist is
looking
to
join the list. There are
64 teams
that compete annually in the
National
Championship
Tournament.
Fischetti said that she
hopes
this competition will result in a
~tudent only competition in the
spring.
"The goal is to have a spring
tournament
with just students,"
said Fischetti.
The winning team will then
compete in
regional
.
competi-
tions against colleges from
Buffalo
to
Albany.
McLaughlin said that the
College Bowl will probably be a
heated event.
"We go to Marist, obviously
there will be competition."

Newly
released
information causes October disruption
By
IGOR VOL.SKY
Staff Writer
Friday's release of a new
· Osama bin Laden tape has been
branded
as
the
"October
Surprise" of the
2004
presiden-
tial election. And, while I con-
cede that the tape is a distur-
bance
-
there is absolutely
nothing surprising about it. If
aiiytliirig,
ilie tipe
is
yei
another
reminder of President Bush's
utter failures and misjudgments.
The mistake the tape illumi-
nates
is
two-fold:
(1)
Army Gen.
Tommy Franks' (the war's oper-
ational commander) failure to
commit U.S. ground troops
to
hunt down bin Laden and (2)
President Bush's order to shift
focus from the hunt for bin
Laden to the pursuit of Saddam
Hussein. Incidentally, both errs
have been well-documented -
in 1,ooks and newspaper coliliiili.s
-
and if they fail to bring down
the president, John Kerry will
only have himself to blame.
By Nov.
14, 2001,
victory
seemed
imminent
in
Afghanistan. American forces
had pushed out the Taliban, and

Woodward writes in "Plan of "pull out the Iraq planning and
Attack," on Nov. 21, President
Bush
.
"clamped his arm on his
secretary of defense, Donald H.
Rumsfeld" and asked him,
"What kind of a war pfan do you
have for Iraq? How do you feel
about the war plan for Iraq?"
With that question, Bush ordered
Rumsfeld to "get Tommy Franks
looking at what it would take to
protect America by removing
Saddam Hussein."
Until then, Franks was busy
commanding
U.S.
Special
let's see where we are."
Meanwhile, back in
Afghanistan,
The
Daily
Telegraph reported that while
Franks and Rumsfeld were plan-
ning Iraq, Osama bin Laden,
with a warm glass of green tea in
his hand, "squatting in the dark
cave . . . delivered a diatribe on
holy war to his elite al Qaeda
fighters... [Yet]... even as he
spoke he planned to abandon
them."
And, somewhere between Nov.
between 5,000 and 50,000
Pakistani rupees for mules and
Afghan guides, which moved
stealthily along the base of the
White Mountains, over a major
highway, and into the remote
tribal areas of Pakistan."
Responding to this exodus,
(which by then had turned into a
mad rush), Pir Baksh Bardiwal,
the intelligence chief for eastern
Afghanistan, questioned the
American decision to hold back
U.S. troops from the Army's 10th
Mountain Division. Bardiwal
Forces in Tora Bora, and - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - argued that the failure to
commit U.S. ground troops
resulted in
a porous
Afghan-Pakistani border
and allowed thousands of
fighters, including bin
Laden, to escape.
upon
receiving
Rumsfeld's request' for an
Iraq estimate, he was
incredulous. Woodward
reports: "They were in the
midst
of one

Afghanistan, and how

Nov. 30,

they wanted detailed
planning for another, Iraq?
'Goddamn,' Franks said, 'what
the f-k are they talking
about?'"
Apparently, one war was not
enough. Because, as Franks was
drawing up war plans for Iraq,
the president had begun building
public support for an Iraqi inva-
sion.
On
Nov. 25, in an interview
with Newsweek, Bush declared
"Saddam is evil" and that "he's
got weapons of mass destructioq.
And I think he needs to open up
his country to let us inspect."
That following day, according
to Woodward's Plan of Attack,
Rumsfeld flew to see General
Franks at CENTCOM headquar-
ters in Tampa wher~ he told him,
28 and Nov. 30, "according to
detailed interviews with Arabs
and
Afghans

walked out
with four of his loyal-
ists in the direction of Pakistan.
According to the Monitor,
instead of capturing the al Qaeda
fighters, the Afghan warlords
-
enlisted by the U.S. to attack
Tora Bora-were cutting deals
with them and helping them
escape. Even Commander Ali,
the so-called American ally was
overheard by the Monitor strik-
ing a deal for the safe passage of
three al Qaeda members.
As several interrogations later
reviled, "al Qaeda fighters paid

hear
Bardiwal's criticism. He was dis-
tracted with Iraq. On Dec. 1,
Rumsfeld sent Franks a top
secret planning order to come up
with an estimate to build the base
of a new Iraq war plan. Bob
Woodward writes that tradition-
ally "the Pentagon was supposed
to give Franks 30 days to come
up with his estimate" but Franks
"was to report in person three
days later."
Therefore
it
was not until
Dec.
5
that a 10-day American offen-
sive of Tora Bora was launched.
On Dec. 16, Afghan warlords
announced
that
they
had
advanced into the last of the
caves. By that time, the only al
Qaeda fighters left inside ''were
the stupid ones, the foolish and
the weak." Bin Laden had long
escaped.
Tommy Franks, as it turned out,
·
had misjudged the interests of
the Afghan warlords and let pass
the best chance to capture al
Qaeda's top leader. (Apparently,
Franks also recognized his mis-
take for he changed his approach
in all subsequent battles, using
Americans, not Afghans as first-
line combat units.)
A senior official with direct
responsibilities in counterterror-
President Bush, true to form,
denied ever making it.)
Apparently, President Bush's
attention span is that of a six-
year-old child. After two months
of hunting for bin Laden, he lost
interest and shifted his focus
onto Hussein. The shift had seri-
ous consequences.
USA Today recently reported
that "in 2002, troops from the 5th
Special Forces Groups who spe-
cialize in the Middie East were
pulled out of the hunt for Osama
bin Laden in Afghanistan to pre-
Tampa. Franks was
"looking
troubled."
"Senator, we are not engaged in
a war in Afghanistan," Franks
said.
'\Excuse me?" Graham asked.
"Military and intelligence per-
sonnel are being redeployed to
prepare for an action in Iraq," he
continued.
Thus, just four months in, the
hunt for Osama bin Laden-the
man President Bush had so des-
perately
wanted
"dead or
alive"-had been abandoned.

one
thing
that
is
incredibly satisfying is getting
into a voting booth and putting in
your two cents.
Nov. 2 also symbolized the end
of the massive advertising
blitz
that was inflicted
on
us.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
were spent by the political
machines to sell us "their" guy.
It
felt more like choosing
between Viagara and Levitra (if
you have an election that lasts
more

us
at Marist

the first time we were

election. We are
iiow all grown

rolled down my window and

a
young man wearing a
do-rag where the elementary

"I have to vote there," I
explained.

pointed up the street past

"Make a right there," he said.
I
gave him a big nod of grati-

hallway.
I stepped forward
(no line!) and gave my election
card to the guy at the desk.
"Alexander Panagoplis?" he
asked.

she
isked,
"Hey! Did you play

I
replied.
"I

The curtains closed around me
and
I
was left in solitude with

centimeters away from the first

was who
I
wanted to choose. My
finger shot forward and hit the
switch with a satisfying click. A
red "X" was exposed on the
switch, symbolizing the finality
of my choice.
I proceeded with the rest of the
ballot, ending with a referendum
question on the library budget. I
pushed the lever back just as the
woman had told me, and the
switches returned to their origi-
nal positions. I prayed some-
where in the machine the requi-
site holes were punched into the
ballot the way I intended.
The curtains parted and I
walked through.
I
felt like such
an adult, perhaps as George W.
Bush felt when he set the record
for most executions of any gov-
ernor in United States histocy.
Here I was, continuing a cen-
turies-old tradition of exercising
the right to vote. Like Franklin
Delano Roosevelt once said,
I
was now one of the
,
ultimate
rulers of democracy. People our
age will rule democr~cy for the
next 60 years.

My dad came running up
behind me. He was doing some
work in Morse Elementary

him I'd voted.

it is definitely this college's

just no match for the silly cos-

Thanks to such websites as web-

visual ecstasy of Halloween until
people decide the moment has
passed and its time to retire their
pictur-es from the scrutinizing
public eye. (This is a sad day
indeed.) My personal favorite

ormance, as well as a special
p~e~nt for the clean-up crew.
e
ppening bands
included
B~~een the Buried and Me and
C~y~-In as well as two local
billlds.
The first two sets were largely
fqriettable and the crowd could
bi' found more outside the con-

and Me came out swing-
ing, literally.
Lead vocalist
Tommy Rogers made an impres-
si~ physical and vocal perform-
artce as did the other members,
including the newly added Dusty
Waring on guitar.
Fast and heavy drums, guitar
riffs, bass lines and Rogers'
screaming voice weaved seam-
lessly in and out with slower,
more melodic parts, featuring
guitarist and backup singer Paul
Waggoner's
soft
vocals.
Waggoner's guitar talent was
admirable as he sustained a mun-
ber of solos throughout the set.
Favorites
"Aesthetic"
and
"Mordecai" were among the fea-
tured songs.
Cave-In also gave a stellar per-
formance, although the tempo
was slower than one would
expect from a post-hardcore
band.
Regardless, the crowd
managed to get the pit going

sporadic mini-moshes

interwoven with the harmonious
vocals of lead guitarist Stephen

any chords out of his guitar as he
swings it around, upside down
and over the heads of the crowd
pressed up hard against the base
of the stage.
Drummer Ben Koller, looking
like a long-haired Cheech on
speed, flailed his arms and legs
with calculating and lightning
speed to create the pounding
beats driving the music.
The band performed a number
of cr~wd favorites. From their
Unlike most performers today, new CD "You Fail Me" they
played the title song as well as
"Black Cloud."
With each song the pit got more
and more wild. What began with
the average circle of moshers
pushing and shoving and swing-
ing their arms increased with
intensity until they were climb-
ing and jumping on top of one
another in an attempt
to
get clos-
er to the lead singer kneeling at
the edge of the stage to sing
along in his microphone the
words of "Concubine."
Young men in black T-shirts
and hoodies jum~d off railings
and body surfed their way on to
the stage during the last song,
"The Saddest Day." Ten or so of
these men accosted the lead
~inger, pushing
him
around as he
tried good humouredly to push
them off the stage, managing to
shove into him and the bassist,
upsetting the bassist's micro-
phone stand. They left the stage
soon enough, no damage done.
The most hardcore moment of
the night was when singer
Bannon vomited in front of
Koller's drum set after finishing
"Concubine".
Moments later
Bannon was up and ready to fin-
ish the set with three songs left.
As
Bannon was doubled over
heaving,

As
they concluded the last
song, saying their farewells to
the hundreds of screaming and
applauding
fans,
Bannon
thanked The Chance for hosting
the tour and offered to do his part
by cleaning up his vomit by
throwing a towel on the mess and
pushing it around with his foot.
The crowd cheered for him all
the louder.
Thus ended one of the best
shows in hardcore to have visited

Women's X-country performs some Florida magic
By
GABE
PERNA
Staff Writer
To say head coach Phil
Kelly
and the women's cross country
team were cocky going into the
Metro
Atlantic
Athletic
Conference Championship this
past Saturday at Walt Disney
World's Sports Complex in Lake
Buena Vista, Fla. would be
slightly incorrect.
However, they had to like their
chances with their main compe-
tition, Iona, missing one of their
top runners due to injury and
returning champion Loyola not
having as much as depth as they
did.
''Let's
put it this way, we were
sort of confident," said Kelly.
The results? A Marist victory
as they scored 40 points and fin-
ished four runners in the top ten.
Leading the waY, for the Red
Foxes was graduate student
Diane Matthews, who finished
third overall with a time of
21 :30.69.
Marist's big surge came
between the second-and-third
mile
mark,
said
Kelly,
"Approaching the second mile it
was still a three team race
between Marist, Iona, and
Loyola, then once the third mile
hit, Marist
barring
a miracle had
it won," he said.
Matthews, the team's best run-
ner, got exactly what she was
looking for in a top-three finish.
However she was slightly opti-
mistic in her aspiring time as she
hoped to run for under 18 min-
utes.
This was partially because she
didn't know was the actual dis-
tance of the race, as she thought
it was five kilometers instead of
six.
Finishing second
behind
Matthews for Marist and fifth
overall in a somewhat shocker
was sophomore Allison Kline
who ran for 22:02.75. Kline,
who
normally
~nishes
fourth
for
Marist, ran her best race of the
year and her best in college.
Six seconds
behind
her was
freshman
•
Sarah Domermuth
,with a time of22:08.76 who fin-
ished sixth overall and third for
Marist.
Rounding out Marist's top ten
was freshman Caitlin Garrity
who battled through a foot
injury
to finish eighth ovei:all
with a time of 22:23.67.
Although not finishing in the
top ten, junior
Denise
Tumulty's
18th place finish (23 :06.69)
clinched Marist's victory.
"Anything under 24 minutes in
a six-kilometer race is great,"
said Kelly.
Next up for the Red Foxes is
the
Van
Courtland
Championships, which is basi-
cally the Northeast Regional
Finals.
The top two teams and top four
finishers advance to the National
Championship.

Leaver.
Junior Bruno Machado
picked up one of his two
assists for the game. Marist
never
looked back, holding on
to win the game.
Also scoring goals for the
Foxes included junior Peter
Rea and sophomore Keith
Detelj.
This was Detelj's
MAAC-leading eighth goal of
the season.
Picking up the third assist
for the
Red
Foxes was fresh-
man Scott Grouten, with
his
first collegiate career point.
Defensively, the Foxes
picked
up
their
seventh
shutout in a row, and
are
yet to
give up a goal·in MAAC play.
It has been
696
minutes
since a goal was scored on the
Red Foxes defensive.
Senior goalkeeper
Mike
Valenti made
one
save, pre-
serving the shutout streak.
The win over the Jaspers
clinched the men's soccer
team a playoff berth in the
MAAC tournament. They will
now be playing for their seed.
The Red Foxes will conclude
the regular season when they
take a two-game road trip to

Oct. 29. The team traveled to the

You have to fight, for your right, to run this country
By
ALEXANDER 0.
PANAGIOTOPOULOS
. Assistant Sports Editor
The election is not officially
over.
Vice-presidential candidate
John Edwards, in a 2:30 a.m.
speech in Boston Wednesday
morning, pledged to keep fight-
ing until the last vote was
.
counted.
"We waited four years for this
victory," he sai~. "We can wait
one more night."
The issue of Ohio's 20 elec-
toral votes and the neck-and-
neck race between President
Bush and Senator Kerry made
declaring a definitive winner in
the election impossible on
Tuesday night.
Surprisingly, there weren't
any discrepancies in the state of
Florida.
The counting of
Florida's approximately 90,000
a~sentee ballots, which is
expected to continue until
Thursday, Nov. 4, should have
been an issue of major scrutiny:
However, Bush was estimated
to have a lead of about 300,000
votes in the state of Florida.
Bush, with 51 percent, won
the majority of the popular
vote, while Kerry won 48 per-
cent. It was estimated that a
record 120 million voters
showed up to the polls. The
day before the election, Reuters
polls showed that 10 states
were statistically tied in voter
support, while nationally the
candidates were tied at 49 per-
cent each.
Jon Stewart, host of the late-
night cable fake news program
"The Daily Show," said on his
special election-night show that
there were three possible out-
comes of the election: Kerry
wins, Bush wins, or civil war.
Mike Gaughran, an Adelphi
University sophomore and
loyal Democrat, was despon-
dent when reached early
Wednesday morning.
"I'd pe lying ifl said I wasn't
really disappointed," he said.
"I'm so furious at the Bush
administration for everything
that has gone on, but also
because -I've poured so much
time and energy into supporting
the Kerry campaign."
Keith Voss Jun, Republican
and Marist student, was not sur-
prised to go to bed Tuesday
night without really

who won for sure.

In addition to straight news

The sophomores were declared

Student Activities and SGA rekindle College Bowl
By
ALISSA BREW
News Editor
Are you ready to rumble? The
College Bowl has come to
Marist
College and will take
place
on
Saturday Nov. 20, at 9
a.m. on
the third floor of the
Student Center.
"It's
a
fast-paced academic
tournament
similar
to Jeopardy,"
said
Michele Fischetti, assistant
director
of student activities.
Student Activities and the
Student Government Association
(SGA) are joining together
to
bring back
the competition to
Marist
College. Marist last ran
this
event two years ago.
Fischetti said that this competi-
tion is just for fun and to
pique
the interest of the students.
"We [Student Activities and
SGA]
are
trying to bring back the
spirit of the College Bowl to
campus,"
she
said.
Sophomore
Michael
McLaughlin, vice president of
academic affairs said that Marist
will gain from hosting .this com-
petition.
"It's an important program
because a. it puts us [Marist] on
the map and b. it's something
that is academically challeng-
ing," he said.
fhe teams for this competition
can be a mix of any four partici-
pants that include students, fac-
ulty or staff. Teams can pick up
forms at the Office of College
Activites, which are due back by
Wednesday, Nov.
13.
Senior Maria Negron who will
participate in the College Bowl
on the Sigma Sigma Sigma team,
said that she is happy to be a part
of the game.
"I've always liked the idea of
various groups coming together
for a fun event like this," she
said. "Not
to
mention I'd like to
show people that Greek
life
isn't
all fun and games. We are actu-
ally intelligent people . .
.
we
actually have to maintain mini-
mum GPA's to participate and it
will be nice to demonstrate that
on campus a little more."
Two teams will go, head-to-
head and be asked randomly
selected questions that
are
pro-
vided by the Association of
College Unions
International
(ACUI) an organization that has
helped the College Bowl run its
program since 1976.
Fischetti said that the bank of
questions that the ACUI provid-
ed is enormous.
"It's everything and anything
you could ever think of," she
said.
However, Fischetti said that the
questions should not intimidate
any team that wants to partici-
pate.
"It doesn't matter if it's tough,"
she said. "This is going to be
pure fun."
Negron said that some teams
will compete to win and others
are looking to have a good time.
"Everyone's going to want to
win, but I think everyone's going
to have a really good time as
well," she said.
Student Activities is looking
for volunteers to help run the
event, as well as anyone who
wants to be a part of the audi-
ence. Fischetti said that students,
as well
as
some faculty members
have already expressed
interest
in the event.
"there's a lot of interest," she
said. "I'm hoping to get 10
teams."
Junior Matthew Hittenmark,
vice president of club affairs said
that the College Bowl should
gain the imterest of clubs
because the event is a part of a
club challenge.
If
a club won the
College Bowl it would receive
ten points towards the coveted
Club of the Year award.
The (::ollege Bowl is one of the
12 possible club challenges.All
together, the club challenges
comprise 1 /3 of the requirements
that are needed to win Club of
the Year.
Hittenmark said that is not the
only
award
a team could receive.
"They [the winning partici-
pants] get an overall self-aware-
ness of their own intellectual
ability."
The College Bowl in conjW?-c-
tion with ACUI has aided the
contest between colleges since
,
1976, when the campus pro-
grams were first initiated. The
ACUI provides volunteers for
campus, regional, and national
contests. Over
500
schools have
participated in these competi-
tions, and Marist is
looking
to
join the list. There are
64 teams
that compete annually in the
National
Championship
Tournament.
Fischetti said that she
hopes
this competition will result in a
~tudent only competition in the
spring.
"The goal is to have a spring
tournament
with just students,"
said Fischetti.
The winning team will then
compete in
regional
.
competi-
tions against colleges from
Buffalo
to
Albany.
McLaughlin said that the
College Bowl will probably be a
heated event.
"We go to Marist, obviously
there will be competition."

Newly
released
information causes October disruption
By
IGOR VOL.SKY
Staff Writer
Friday's release of a new
· Osama bin Laden tape has been
branded
as
the
"October
Surprise" of the
2004
presiden-
tial election. And, while I con-
cede that the tape is a distur-
bance
-
there is absolutely
nothing surprising about it. If
aiiytliirig,
ilie tipe
is
yei
another
reminder of President Bush's
utter failures and misjudgments.
The mistake the tape illumi-
nates
is
two-fold:
(1)
Army Gen.
Tommy Franks' (the war's oper-
ational commander) failure to
commit U.S. ground troops
to
hunt down bin Laden and (2)
President Bush's order to shift
focus from the hunt for bin
Laden to the pursuit of Saddam
Hussein. Incidentally, both errs
have been well-documented -
in 1,ooks and newspaper coliliiili.s
-
and if they fail to bring down
the president, John Kerry will
only have himself to blame.
By Nov.
14, 2001,
victory
seemed
imminent
in
Afghanistan. American forces
had pushed out the Taliban, and
Kabul, the country's capital, had
fallen to the Northern Alliance.
The war was like no other -
U.S.

employed as observers and
liaisons while Information Age

Igor Vo/sky addresses Bush
s
shortcomings and Kerry
s
inability to proclaim them
·
Woodward writes in "Plan of "pull out the Iraq planning and
Attack," on Nov. 21, President
Bush
.
"clamped his arm on his
secretary of defense, Donald H.
Rumsfeld" and asked him,
"What kind of a war pfan do you
have for Iraq? How do you feel
about the war plan for Iraq?"
With that question, Bush ordered
Rumsfeld to "get Tommy Franks
looking at what it would take to
protect America by removing
Saddam Hussein."
Until then, Franks was busy
commanding
U.S.
Special
let's see where we are."
Meanwhile, back in
Afghanistan,
The
Daily
Telegraph reported that while
Franks and Rumsfeld were plan-
ning Iraq, Osama bin Laden,
with a warm glass of green tea in
his hand, "squatting in the dark
cave . . . delivered a diatribe on
holy war to his elite al Qaeda
fighters... [Yet]... even as he
spoke he planned to abandon
them."
And, somewhere between Nov.
between 5,000 and 50,000
Pakistani rupees for mules and
Afghan guides, which moved
stealthily along the base of the
White Mountains, over a major
highway, and into the remote
tribal areas of Pakistan."
Responding to this exodus,
(which by then had turned into a
mad rush), Pir Baksh Bardiwal,
the intelligence chief for eastern
Afghanistan, questioned the
American decision to hold back
U.S. troops from the Army's 10th
Mountain Division. Bardiwal
Forces in Tora Bora, and - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - argued that the failure to
commit U.S. ground troops
resulted in
a porous
Afghan-Pakistani border
and allowed thousands of
fighters, including bin
Laden, to escape.
upon
receiving
Rumsfeld's request' for an
Iraq estimate, he was
incredulous. Woodward
reports: "They were in the
midst
of one
war,
Afghanistan, and how
And, somewhere between Nov. 28 and
Nov. 30,

views with Arabs and Afghans in east-
ern Afghanistan afterward-the world's

they wanted detailed
planning for another, Iraq?
'Goddamn,' Franks said, 'what
the f-k are they talking
about?'"
Apparently, one war was not
enough. Because, as Franks was
drawing up war plans for Iraq,
the president had begun building
public support for an Iraqi inva-
sion.
On
Nov. 25, in an interview
with Newsweek, Bush declared
"Saddam is evil" and that "he's
got weapons of mass destructioq.
And I think he needs to open up
his country to let us inspect."
That following day, according
to Woodward's Plan of Attack,
Rumsfeld flew to see General
Franks at CENTCOM headquar-
ters in Tampa wher~ he told him,
28 and Nov. 30, "according to
detailed interviews with Arabs
and
Afghans

eastern
Afghanistan
afterward-the
world's most wanted man"
walked out
with four of his loyal-
ists in the direction of Pakistan.
According to the Monitor,
instead of capturing the al Qaeda
fighters, the Afghan warlords
-
enlisted by the U.S. to attack
Tora Bora-were cutting deals
with them and helping them
escape. Even Commander Ali,
the so-called American ally was
overheard by the Monitor strik-
ing a deal for the safe passage of
three al Qaeda members.
As several interrogations later
reviled, "al Qaeda fighters paid
But back in Tampa, Fla.,
Franks

hear
Bardiwal's criticism. He was dis-
tracted with Iraq. On Dec. 1,
Rumsfeld sent Franks a top
secret planning order to come up
with an estimate to build the base
of a new Iraq war plan. Bob
Woodward writes that tradition-
ally "the Pentagon was supposed
to give Franks 30 days to come
up with his estimate" but Franks
"was to report in person three
days later."
Therefore
it
was not until
Dec.
5
that a 10-day American offen-
sive of Tora Bora was launched.
On Dec. 16, Afghan warlords
announced
that
they
had
advanced into the last of the
caves. By that time, the only al
Qaeda fighters left inside ''were
the stupid ones, the foolish and
the weak." Bin Laden had long
escaped.
Tommy Franks, as it turned out,
·
had misjudged the interests of
the Afghan warlords and let pass
the best chance to capture al
Qaeda's top leader. (Apparently,
Franks also recognized his mis-
take for he changed his approach
in all subsequent battles, using
Americans, not Afghans as first-
line combat units.)
A senior official with direct
responsibilities in counterterror-
President Bush, true to form,
denied ever making it.)
Apparently, President Bush's
attention span is that of a six-
year-old child. After two months
of hunting for bin Laden, he lost
interest and shifted his focus
onto Hussein. The shift had seri-
ous consequences.
USA Today recently reported
that "in 2002, troops from the 5th
Special Forces Groups who spe-
cialize in the Middie East were
pulled out of the hunt for Osama
bin Laden in Afghanistan to pre-
Tampa. Franks was
"looking
troubled."
"Senator, we are not engaged in
a war in Afghanistan," Franks
said.
'\Excuse me?" Graham asked.
"Military and intelligence per-
sonnel are being redeployed to
prepare for an action in Iraq," he
continued.
Thus, just four months in, the
hunt for Osama bin Laden-the
man President Bush had so des-
perately
wanted
"dead or
alive"-had been abandoned.

First-time voter exercises principles of democracy

PANAGIOTOPOULOS

One of the few
pure
things
left
in politics
is
voting.
Despite the
allegations of registration fraud
and

debacle,
one
thing
that
is
incredibly satisfying is getting
into a voting booth and putting in
your two cents.
Nov. 2 also symbolized the end
of the massive advertising
blitz
that was inflicted
on
us.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
were spent by the political
machines to sell us "their" guy.
It
felt more like choosing
between Viagara and Levitra (if
you have an election that lasts
more
than four hours, please
seek medical attention). And for
us
at Marist
College, Nov. 2 was
the first time we were
old
enough to vote in a presidential
election. We are
iiow all grown
up and have the power of adults.
I
decided
I'd try to vote right
after my 9:30 a.m. class. I
had
my election card in my car; it
said I had to go
to
SFB Morse
Young Child Magnet School,
on
Mansion St.
I
knew from look-
ing online that Mansion Street is
a left

~f Washington Street. I
couldn't find it. It helps that half
the streets on Washington St. are
unmarked, save for graffiti.
I
found my way to Market Street,
rolled down my window and
asked
a
young man wearing a
do-rag where the elementary
school was.
"I have to vote there," I
explained.
He
pointed up the street past
Mad Hatter's; past Alex's
Restaurant, and where the mas-
sive
post
office
and
Poughkeepsie
Journal buildings
stand.
"Make a right there," he said.
I
gave him a big nod of grati-
the
hallway.
I stepped forward
(no line!) and gave my election
card to the guy at the desk.
"Alexander Panagoplis?" he
asked.
Yup; that's me.
A woman asked me if I
needed
tude, and my

respectfully
declined,
stepped into

walked up the front steps, weav-

getting into a yellow school bus.
Two tables with volunteer work-
ers and two ancient voting
machines were arranged before
me in the

I could smell

"Pull

the

then pull down the switches to
make the selections. Then push
the lever back," she said.
Seeing my Poughkeepsie
Pioneers shirt that my dad got
me (he works for the district),
she
isked,
"Hey! Did you play
football with my son?"
"No, I'm not from
Poughkeepsie,"
I
replied.
"I
gotta vote now, though
.
"
The curtains closed around me
and
I
was left in solitude with
'!llY
choices. My finger was coiled
centimeters away from the first
labeled
switch as I made sure it
was who
I
wanted to choose. My
finger shot forward and hit the
switch with a satisfying click. A
red "X" was exposed on the
switch, symbolizing the finality
of my choice.
I proceeded with the rest of the
ballot, ending with a referendum
question on the library budget. I
pushed the lever back just as the
woman had told me, and the
switches returned to their origi-
nal positions. I prayed some-
where in the machine the requi-
site holes were punched into the
ballot the way I intended.
The curtains parted and I
walked through.
I
felt like such
an adult, perhaps as George W.
Bush felt when he set the record
for most executions of any gov-
ernor in United States histocy.
Here I was, continuing a cen-
turies-old tradition of exercising
the right to vote. Like Franklin
Delano Roosevelt once said,
I
was now one of the
,
ultimate
rulers of democracy. People our
age will rule democr~cy for the
next 60 years.
"Hey buddy!"
My dad came running up
behind me. He was doing some
work in Morse Elementary
School Tuesday morning. I told
him I'd voted.
Jie bought me a cookie at the
PTA bake sale.

This is a public service
announcement. Halloween has
come and gone. Despite Marist's
not-so-secret Jesuit association,
it is definitely this college's
most
celebrated holiday. Christmas is
just no match for the silly cos-
tumes and drunken stupor.
Thanks to such websites as web-
shots.com, we can relive the
visual ecstasy of Halloween until
people decide the moment has
passed and its time to retire their
pictur-es from the scrutinizing
public eye. (This is a sad day
indeed.) My personal favorite
costumes this year included
Hugh Hefner clones, Double
Dare contestants, and the hardly
elusive head-to-toe penis cos-
tume. It's a classic.

The first two sets were largely

ing, literally.
Lead vocalist
Tommy Rogers made an impres-
si~ physical and vocal perform-
artce as did the other members,
including the newly added Dusty
Waring on guitar.
Fast and heavy drums, guitar
riffs, bass lines and Rogers'
screaming voice weaved seam-
lessly in and out with slower,
more melodic parts, featuring
guitarist and backup singer Paul
Waggoner's
soft
vocals.
Waggoner's guitar talent was
admirable as he sustained a mun-
ber of solos throughout the set.
Favorites
"Aesthetic"
and
"Mordecai" were among the fea-
tured songs.
Cave-In also gave a stellar per-
formance, although the tempo
was slower than one would
expect from a post-hardcore
band.
Regardless, the crowd
managed to get the pit going
in
sporadic mini-moshes
.
The
gravely-voiced
screams
of
bassist Caleb Scofield were
interwoven with the harmonious
vocals of lead guitarist Stephen
Bodsky as they tore up their
respective instruments.
lead singer Jacob Bannon appre-

his hands the microphone
becomes a deranged audio yo-yo
as he whips it around the stage,
leaping from one corner to the
other.

his lungs as he threw himself
around the stage between the

any chords out of his guitar as he
swings it around, upside down
and over the heads of the crowd
pressed up hard against the base
of the stage.
Drummer Ben Koller, looking
like a long-haired Cheech on
speed, flailed his arms and legs
with calculating and lightning
speed to create the pounding
beats driving the music.
The band performed a number
of cr~wd favorites. From their
Unlike most performers today, new CD "You Fail Me" they
played the title song as well as
"Black Cloud."
With each song the pit got more
and more wild. What began with
the average circle of moshers
pushing and shoving and swing-
ing their arms increased with
intensity until they were climb-
ing and jumping on top of one
another in an attempt
to
get clos-
er to the lead singer kneeling at
the edge of the stage to sing
along in his microphone the
words of "Concubine."
Young men in black T-shirts
and hoodies jum~d off railings
and body surfed their way on to
the stage during the last song,
"The Saddest Day." Ten or so of
these men accosted the lead
~inger, pushing
him
around as he
tried good humouredly to push
them off the stage, managing to
shove into him and the bassist,
upsetting the bassist's micro-
phone stand. They left the stage
soon enough, no damage done.
The most hardcore moment of
the night was when singer
Bannon vomited in front of
Koller's drum set after finishing
"Concubine".
Moments later
Bannon was up and ready to fin-
ish the set with three songs left.
As
Bannon was doubled over

As
they concluded the last
song, saying their farewells to
the hundreds of screaming and
applauding
fans,
Bannon
thanked The Chance for hosting
the tour and offered to do his part
by cleaning up his vomit by
throwing a towel on the mess and
pushing it around with his foot.
The crowd cheered for him all
the louder.
Thus ended one of the best
shows in hardcore to have visited
the city of Poughkeepsie

said. "Besides, it has

Women's X-country performs some Florida magic
By
GABE
PERNA
Staff Writer
To say head coach Phil
Kelly
and the women's cross country
team were cocky going into the
Metro
Atlantic
Athletic
Conference Championship this
past Saturday at Walt Disney
World's Sports Complex in Lake
Buena Vista, Fla. would be
slightly incorrect.
However, they had to like their
chances with their main compe-
tition, Iona, missing one of their
top runners due to injury and
returning champion Loyola not
having as much as depth as they
did.
''Let's
put it this way, we were
sort of confident," said Kelly.
The results? A Marist victory
as they scored 40 points and fin-
ished four runners in the top ten.
Leading the waY, for the Red
Foxes was graduate student
Diane Matthews, who finished
third overall with a time of
21 :30.69.
Marist's big surge came
between the second-and-third
mile
mark,
said
Kelly,
"Approaching the second mile it
was still a three team race
between Marist, Iona, and
Loyola, then once the third mile
hit, Marist
barring
a miracle had
it won," he said.
Matthews, the team's best run-
ner, got exactly what she was
looking for in a top-three finish.
However she was slightly opti-
mistic in her aspiring time as she
hoped to run for under 18 min-
utes.
This was partially because she
didn't know was the actual dis-
tance of the race, as she thought
it was five kilometers instead of
six.
Finishing second
behind
Matthews for Marist and fifth
overall in a somewhat shocker
was sophomore Allison Kline
who ran for 22:02.75. Kline,
who
normally
~nishes
fourth
for
Marist, ran her best race of the
year and her best in college.
Six seconds
behind
her was
freshman
•
Sarah Domermuth
,with a time of22:08.76 who fin-
ished sixth overall and third for
Marist.
Rounding out Marist's top ten
was freshman Caitlin Garrity
who battled through a foot
injury
to finish eighth ovei:all
with a time of 22:23.67.
Although not finishing in the
top ten, junior
Denise
Tumulty's
18th place finish (23 :06.69)
clinched Marist's victory.
"Anything under 24 minutes in
a six-kilometer race is great,"
said Kelly.
Next up for the Red Foxes is
the
Van
Courtland
Championships, which is basi-
cally the Northeast Regional
Finals.
The top two teams and top four
finishers advance to the National
Championship.
