Women's rights rally gathers thousands in D.C.
ByCASSI MATOS
Editor in Chief
Fifty students and four profes-
sors traveled from campus to
Washington, D.C to join women
of all ages in what may have
been the largest organized rally
in the history of the women's
rights movement.
Women joined the protest from
across the nation and from near-
ly
60
countries. Participants said
the crowd on the National Mall
spanned about a mile,
from
the
base of the Capitol back to the
Washington Monument. While
no official estimates have been
made, various police sources
informally estimated the crowd
at
between
500,000 and 800,000.
Lauren
Eberle, gender equality
secretary, said the crowd felt
much larger.
"It
appeared as though there
were over a million people in
attendancei" Eberle said. "It was
a sea of people that had the same
values as I do."
While the size of the crowd has
not been confirmed, it certainly
exceeded the 500,000 who
protested for abortion rights in
1992 ..
The march started by the
Washington Monument where
the crowd gathered for opening
speeches and then set off along
Pennsylvania Avenue, looping
back to the Mall near the Capitol.
The purpose of the rally, organ-
ized by a coalition of seven
women's rights groups organiz-
ers, was to spotlight the impor-
'I
went to the march to sup-
port every person's right to
choose. The right to have a
decision, to make a deci-
sion on your own.'
- Katie Flynn
Junior
tance of a wide range of repro-
ductive health issues for women
in the United States and abroad:
sex education, access to birth
control and prenatal care, and
social policies that provide child
care and job training to women
with children.
Katie Flynn, junior, said
everyone should be able to make
their own choices.
"I went to the march to support
every person's right to choose,''
Flynn said. 'The right to have a
decision; to make a decision on
your own, for access to have an
abortion, for access to
health,
for
justice."
While Roe v. Wade still
anchors abortion rights, some
states have imposed waiting peri-
ods
before
abortions.
Requirements that girls under 18
notify their parents, and other
limits that have closed abortion
clinics or discouraged doctors
from performing abortions.
Bush
has signed the
Partial-
Birth Abortion Ban Act, on what
critics call partial-birth abortion,
artd the first federal law to endow
a fetus with legal rights distinct
from the pregnant woman, the
Unborn Victims of Violence Act.
Flynn said these acts are dimin-
ishing women's rights.
"No one has the right to impose
personal values
on
you, like we
see in
our
laws today," Flynn
said.
Accor9ing to Vanessa Katz,
outgoing
president,
Gender
Equality, throughout the day,
speakers urged marchers to use
the power of their vote to pre-
serve abortion rights and she
echoed their sentiments.

Lives,• a pro-<:holce rally held on the National Mall.
"If
we're going to change
poli-
cy you're going to need people to

ChristieLyn Diller, a volunteer
at Planned Parenthood and one
of the organizers of Marist's par-
ticipation in the event, said the
campus's involvement in this
rally was a milestone event.
"I think it is a huge achieve-
ment that we got students to
attend a
national, political
event," Diller said.
To raise awareness prior to the
event, organizers on campus,

Sponsored by "Appreciating

Three separate vehicle break-ins and thefts
occurred on this day: 7:20 a.m. in the Upper Hoop lot,
1 :25 p.m. in the Bank of New York lot, and at 9:45 p.m.
in Donnelly. A stereo and / or speakers were stolen from
all of the cars. This is really bad. One happened in the
middle
of
the day, and another happened right in front of
security headquarters! I mean, the kid parked in the
Upper Hoop lot at 7:20 a.m. had it coming; but the other
two! Come on security, you need to get your act togeth-
er ... or do they? "That's the second time you used the
mysterious question." Good you can count. "And you
can count! On me waiting for you in the parking lot!"
Hey, while you're. waiting make sure no one breaks into
my car. Thanks.

The Sheahan entry desk officer caught a non-
Marist student attempting to swipe in using a Marist ID
at 2:20 a.m. Wednesday. The intruder was sent home.
Now, let's put on our hindsight glasses and look at this. It
was April 21 when you tried to pose as a Marist student.
It's not October, it's April. Don't you think that security
has figured out who lives in each dorm by now? I mean
they have been sitting at these desks since September
.
Hindsight tells me that posing as a Marist student in April
is not going to work. Now let's take off our glasses, and
never speak of this again.

of Burglary in the 2nd degree and is facing up to 15 years

house by police, after one of the females called 911.
Fiorile would like would like to thank the Marist students
that gave testimony for the case. Their time and effort
into the case was greatly appreciated and has stopped a
criminal from causing any more harm to off-campus stu-

MCTV to end semester crowning first Marist Idol winner
By
JANET GILFEATHER
Circle Contributor
At first there were nineteen,
then eleven, now five remain,
but
in the end only one contestant
can win the coveted title of
Marist Idol.
The first Marist
Idol
will be
revealed at Marist College
Television's Marist Idol Finale
on
Sunday, May 2 at 9:00 p.m. in
the Nelly Goletti Theater.
The three faculty judges,
Matt
Andrews, Missy Alexander, and
Keith Strudler have already cho-
sen four of the five contestants.
The Marist community will
choose the fifth contestant by
voting online at the Marist
Idol
Web
site
clubs.marist.edu/mctv/idol. The
five finalists in the competition
will sing with accompaniment,
hoping to win over the judges
with their vocal abilities.
Alexa Johnides,
one
of the
finalists,
said
she's really
enjoyed the experience thus far,
and she's excited about the final
show.
"I
love singing on stage; it's
such
a
different
feeling,"
Johnides said. "I'm expecting a
big crowd. People love watching
people perform and
I
know I am
going to make all my friends

Marist Idol is a big hit with the
Marist
campus,
and
Jesse

nineteen
contestants from the first round
cess. Disbrow became a Marist
Idol favorite with his
rendition
of
Savage Garden's "To the Moon

during the first round
of the
competition
.
In mid-song
he did
a countdown of "5-4-3-2-

",
and
then continued the song.
Since his performance aired, he
has received a lot of attention
from Marist students.
"I've been getting a
'
lot of peo-
ple saying 5-4-3-2-1 to me, and
people start singing the song
when I'm.around," Disbrow said.
Disbrow was not one of the

Trinidad offers students unique insight into journalism abroad
By KATE HANLY
Circle Contributor
This January will be a month of
80-degree weather for certain
Marist students.
The Marist Abroad
Program
has added a short term
program
to tropical Trinidad
during
the
time when Poughkeepsie is at its
coldest.
This
program
is organized for
students with junior standing
who wish to take a
400-level
course in Communications.
The
students who signup will take
Comparative
Communication
Systems
,
COM 488.
G.
Modele
Clarke, comunica-
tions professor
,
will accompany
students on this program to
Trinidad. He said it will give stu-
dents a unique insight into jour-
naFsm
as it is practiced in
Trinidad in comparison to the
us.
"My idea for this course is to
have students evaluate the legal
and historical construct of these
two systems, the US and
Trinidad,"
Clarke said. Trinidad
represents the end product of
societies that evolve from the
system of imperialistic domina-
tion, and students will see first
hand
the differences between
this and the
ideals
of U.S. jour~
nalism."

Jeff Perry, a Marist .C~llege
junior and member of the
HuMarists, was impressed with
the new video set up and the way
it worked within the show.
"The
videos came out amazing;
John Gabrus edited them," Perry
said. "This was the first time we
did
separate
videos instead of
one big one and I think that
worked very well."
The live games and skits, many
of which play off of the audi-
ence's reactions and suggestions
make up the majority of the
show. HuMarists can be seen
actiµg out anything from a scene
at McCoy's to selling a deadly
anti-depressant.
The improv
aspect of these skits comes from
the words or phrases shouted by
members of the audience. The
comedians must be ready for any
possible suggestion and react
quickly in order
to
add it into the
skit.
Like the audience, the
HuMarists have their favorite
skits as well. Tim Caiazza, a
member of the HuMarists, enjoys
the camaraderie of the group in
addition to some of the skits.
"Just

.
Caiazza
said. "Everyone has their own
personal favorite skit that they
like; my personal favorite was
the WOPs one."
The alumni game is also one of
the staple skits that appear in
every show. Former HuMarists
come back to enjoy the show
each semester and enjoy the
spotlight for a few minutes while
taking part in a word game. This
portion of the show is prefaced
by a warning from one of the cur-
rent members that it is more of a
reunion for them than entertain-
ment for the audience. Close to

President Jenn Ramos, senior,
said the dance was a great way to
finish off the stimulating

but she was disappointed with
--
the lack of participation from
students outside
of the

" We

Black Student Union
President
,
Jessica Crawford, senior, echoed
the same sentiment.
She said
that both
minority stu-
dents and the predominantly
white population at Marist need
to reach out to each other
.
Although events such as Latino
week and
the
cultural dinner
dance provide an outlet for both
groups to rub elbows, she said
that
many white students are
more
wary
of becoming involved
in
minority activities for fear that
they won't be accepted, a dilem-
ma she says, that she faced upon
enrolling in Marist, a mainly

.
"A lot of people are scared,"
Crawford said." It's up to them
to step out of their comfort zone.
It's up to them to open their
minds and step somewhere
they've never been before," she
said.
"They
expect us to step out of
our comfort zone, but that's not
fair," Crawford said. "Why do I
have to do it all the time? If we're
going to do this, then we have to
do it together," s

said.
More than 60 students attend-
ed the dance, which Ramos said,
shows that there is a growing
necessity to learn about the
diversity
at
Mari st.
" I'm very excited about the
turnout," she said
.
"
It was my
last cultural dinner dance."
Joel Torres, senior, agrees.
"Compared to other years, I feel
that this time there was a little
more diversity since

Three interns honored during naming of Student Intern of the Year
Every academic year the Center
for Career Services recognizes
graduating seniors for outstand-
ing achievement in experiential
education, which includes intern-
ships
,
co-ops and student teach-
ing assignments. On Apr. 27,
Jacob Morrison and Dianne
Sunkel were awarded with the
2004 Marist College Intern of the
Year Award at a luncheon in the
Cabaret.
The recipients were chosen
from among seniors who have
participated in an internship,
externship, or student teaching
experience.
One award was
given to a student who participat-
ed in an elective credit internship
and the other to a stµdent who
participated in a required intern-
ship.
Each faculty coordinator that
monitors internships nominated
a student from their academic
discipline
to be considered for
the award. Then, a panel of three
judges, composed of school
employees, chose the award
recipients.
Morrison is an

tive grade point average of 3.9.
He has served as a co-op student
for the Marist College/IBM Joint
Study, and wotked as an intern

In addition,
Morrison has worked as a stu-
dent aide in the computer lab at
Marist and provided technical
support for the McCarthy Law
Firm in Croton-on-Hudson
.
He is

In

Innocent until proven guilty, except American soldiers
By
STEPHEN BUTKA
Circle Contributor
When Scott Peterson became a
suspect in the murder of his wife
and unborn son everyone sus-
pected his guilt, yet everyone
preached that he was "innocent
until proven gu1lty."
With truckloads of evidence
against him, O.J. Simpson was
still assumed innocent up until
the very second he was acquitted
in Oct.
1995.
The presumption
of being innocent until you 're
guilt is proven has always been a
part of our country's justice sys-
tem, and it guarantees this to
anyone charged of a criminal
offense.
You would think that in 2004
this right would carry over, how-
ever, it has become increasingly
clear that the same rights given
to murderers do not have to
apply to America's troops.
Thanks to our anti-war media, it
has become second nature for
our
nation's "patriots" to label
them as murderers. "I'm anti-
war, but pro-troops," as always;
is a bold-faced lie.
The great thing about our anti-
war movement is just how
sneaky and deliberate it is.
Su1tab1y
disguising opinion and
placing blame on our govern-
ment is just one way this mission
gets accomplished. Newspapers
like the
New York Times disguise
their opinion within their stories,
usually accompanied by words
like "quagmire" and always con-
veniently placing statistics of
how many Iraqis our murderous,
oil-hungry, blood-thirsty, racist
coalition has killed. Why is it
that our conntry, again,
our coun-
try cannot afford our troops the
same respect that our
criminals
receive?
Being a society dependent on
getting our news from the media
due to our distance from the
action on the front lines, would it
not make more sense to ask for
more information regarding the
details of the casualties?
So many factors go into these
stories that we keep hearing that
they cannot even begin to print
them all in your newspaper, or on
your computer screen. On top of
this, as civilians ourselves we do
not have the capacity to under-
stand what goes on in a military
operation.
Four-Star Generals
such as, General Abizaid or
General Franks, get criticized for
being "armchair" soldiers all the
time, simply because their duties
do not lie on the front Jines.
It
is
funny how many armchair gener-
als we have of our own, sitting at
home on their couches or at their
computer desks. Simply put, our
soldiers do not target civilians.
Those that do are dealt with
accorqingly in a military court.
Iraqi militants consistently hide
in mosques and we are not
allowed to engage them. They
run around Fallujah carrying
eight-year-old children at their
side because they know we will
not shoot at children. Human
shields are still a factor and they
make it difficult for the Coalition
to get the job done. When the
Iraqis
put
their own people at
risk during every minute of com-
bat in the Middle East, how are
civilian casualties not expected?
When they do not even
deserve
the rights we give to them, we
still do it in the name of our mil-
itary's honor and integrity.
So, to all of you La-Z-Boy
Green Berets at home, remote in
one hand and a burget in the
other,
remember there
are
teenagers in Iraq right now
spilling their blood for our coun-
try -
a country which you are a
citizen of. They are spending
sometimes as much as an entire
year in a Jiving hell, for us.

College students don't live to eat, they eat to
live
By
AMANDA CASSESE
Circle Contributor
So you 're debating where to go
to college; Will there be abroad
opportunities? Are there small
classes with individual attention?
Do they have a renowned liberal
arts program? How's the gym?
Are the boys cute?
I'd like to take the opportunity
to stop you here and ask if
you've thought about the food.
I
know, I know, a small insignifi-
cant detail as far as your college
career goes. Anyway, how bad
could it be?
I took the tour, asked all the
questions, and read the guide.
The dining hall seemed great.
WRONG!
It's a common misconception
that incoming freshman have
about their meal plans;
"It
can't
be that bad." We've all said it,
thought it, waved it over as a
non-important issue. A few
weeks into freshman year I was
content with what the dining hall
was offering me. However, like
all good things, it came to an
end, quite abruptly.
Right off the bat, there are a
few staples that will always be
there. You've got your salad bar,
the pizza station, soup, and the
deli bar. You're thinking that's
great. Wrong again my friend.
Firstly, the salad bar starts out
fine on Monday, and you 're
enjoying your leafy greens. But,
by Thursday, your leafy greens
aren't so green. Actually, they
are starting to look a little brown.
Cold salads are usually also
found at the salad bar, such as
cole slaw, potato salad, macaroni
salad, etc. Cole slaw seems
innocent
enough,
and
on
Monday it looks good and white.
But on Friday it's starting to look

You can get an egg white or reg-

I'm not complaining. This is the
one

good as well. You must take
your chances with the burritos,
however.
A friend of mine,
whom shall remain. nameless,
was enjoying her bean
burrito
one day and
began
chewing on a
screw. Luckily she was able to
catch it before she tried to swal-
low it
...
I know, you think I'm
trying to kill yoli because
because I just reccomended the
burritos, but I promise I'm not.
At Marist you don't live to eat,
you eat to live
... so
with that said,
I'll leave the decision to you.
I'm going to start to go off right
about.. ... here.
GRILLED
CHICKEN! How hard
is
it to
take chicken breasts and throw
them on the grill? I ask you,
reader, do you find that difficult?
Because
it really isn't, not to
mention that most like grilled
chicken, and it's a source of
healthy, lean protein. Excuse me
while I laugh, hahhahhahha!
~!
You would think Marist would
make this every week?
Silly
reader, WE'VE HAD
IT
TWICE
ALL YEAR!
Sorry about that. Moving along
to the weekends. Marist likes to
serve
"brunch"
on Saturday and
Sunday from about 11 a.m. -
1:30 pm. Now, I don't know
about you, but since when does
brunch consist of 3 types of
scrambled eggs?
You get to
·
choose from the "wide variety"
of plain eggs, eggs with cheese,
eggs with cheese and ham!
Aren't you excited?
·
You should
be, because you get to eat that
every weekend, and that's it.
Now you early birds, you
say
you just want to run in at nine,
grab a bowl of cereal and get on
with your day? Tough gazoon-
gas. You can't get
in till
eleven
-
don't you just love it?
To make matters worse, and
you thought that was impossible,
there is no omelette station, no
grill, no pasta station, and there
might as well not be a deli sta-
tion. There's about three differ-
ent kinds of cold cuts and not
much
of them.
Por i;omc rcru10n,
Marist dining hall takes away
as
much as they can on the week-
end. After
speculation,
I feel this
is
done
so that we students will
venture
out,
to The Cabaret,
McDonald's,
Applebee's,
Quizno's, or
wherever
.
else
Marist money
is accepted.
I propose that
at
least
one side
of the main din
ing
hall
should
have a lean
meat. Whether
it's
grilled
chicken, fish, steak, ham,
turkey,
whatever.
There's
no
need
to
have a pasta
dish,
mashed
potatoes
,
stuffing.
Another
thing
that really bothers
me
is
the
lack
of real
juice irt the
cafeteria.
I
like
to
have a glass of
orange juice
a few days a week,
keep the Vitamin C
levels up, etc,
but do
we
have
orange
juice?
Well, they
say we do,
but
the
"orange juice" comes
out
_
is
clear
and magically
turns orange in
your
glass.
·
Basically,
syrup and
water. Do
not
even
begin to tell
me that's 100%
fruit juice.
Here's one
last thing.
This
evening while dining with a few
friends, a rather disgust
ing,
but
not
surprising
discovery
was
made. When one
friend went
to
put syrup on her
·
ham,
she came
back
to report that
'
there was a
dead fly
in
one
syrup container ...
nice.
So the
next time
you'
r
e on a
college
tour,
or see
a college tour,
do what I do.
Make the guide
feel
stupid
when
they
talk
about
the food.
I like to scream
"They're lying
to
you" when in
the
cafeteria.
If
I
can help save
one potential
stud~nt, my job is
done.
If
you are not in
yet, grill your
guide

about the
food; and see
what they say. Don't
settle for
less than the
truth. And, for the
love of god, don't eat

Mari
st clubs go militant, Salvation is on the way
By
SEAN KELLY
&
MARY TOUGHER
The Salvation Army is deter-
mined to prove that donating
time can be an exciting, fulfill-
ing experience while also serv-
ing as a productive means to
help others. As a result, Marist
clubs have begun to answer the
call of the Salvation Army, aid-
ing their quest to help the com-
munity.
·
Many people feel they have
done all they can for the
Salvation Army by donating
clothes. However, the reality is
·
that they still need people to
oi,-ganize items donated at the
store itself.
The Poughkeepsie Salvation
Army thrift store is the financial
backbone for other Salvation
Army programs in the commu-
nity, such as a clinic for people
rehabilitating from drugs or
alcohol, and a soup kitchen.
It
is in the thrift store where
the most help is needed, and this
is an excellent opportunity for
Marist clubs and organizations
to fulfill their community serv-
ice requirements.
Many people find community
service to be a grueling experi-
ence that tends to be done solely
for obligatory reasons. Given
this common misconception of
community service and the fact
that most people's lives are
already hectic, some are reluc-
tant to volunteer. Volunteering
for the Salvation Army, though,
is a fun, relaxing, and conven-
ient way to serve the communi-
ty.
Located on Main Street in
Poughkeepsie less than ten
min-
utes from campus, the Salvation
Army thrift store offers a variety
of volunteer tasks ranging from
organizing clothes on the rack to
moving donated goods around
the warehouse.
Katherine Brauer, the secretary
of the Circle K Organization, the
community service organization
on campus, volunteered with the
Salvation Army and said her
experience there was a positive
one.
"I felt good about helping out
others and giving back to the
community,"
she
said.
"Knowing that I helped some-
one is a great feeling.,"
Volunteering is not only for
club
members.
Since
the
Salvation Arp:iy is a nationally
recognized orgat?,ization, it is a
great way for people to boost
their resumes or applications to
graduate schools. Having a con-
sistent reference after gradua-
tion, can follow someone to the
working world and give a leg up
in a job search. The Salvation
Army name is nationally recog-
nized and will be easily identifi-
able to any interviewer.
Beginning in the fall of 2004,
the Marist Community Service
Club will be working with the
Salvation Army to find individ-
uals that wish to volunteer on a
regular basis. For ten weeks of
the semester, students will have
the opportunity to donate a few
hours a week at the Salvation
Army. Interested students can
register to help by becoming a
part of the community service
club next semester.
Next school year, be sure to
look for information concerning
this program. It wilt be a group
effort, and an enjoyable way to
get club credit and help the
community. No doubt about it,
volunteering can be fun!
Breec
hing the barrier; international student
s
o
v
ercome adversity
By
MICHAEL RISPOLI
Staff Writer
Coming to college is hard
enough to begin with, so when
you're coming from another
country, there are bound to be a
few extra bumps in the road.
International students hear
about Marist through foreign
student abroad recruitment, and
an annual trip is made to India
every year to recruit prospective
students. Many foreign students
also seek out Marist by way of
the Internet
_
and by simple word
of mouth.
Out of more than 5,000 under-
graduate and graduate students
at Marist this year, there are cur-
rently 41 students from other
countries
including
India,
United Kingdom, Yugoslavia,
Norway, Japan, Brazil, Jordan,
China, Austria, Venezuela, and
Russia.
The daunting ratio of
American students to interna-
tional students can be intimidat-
ing,
to
say the least. Throw in
the language and culture barrier
and it's a wonder anyone can do
it.
Alan Kakemlo, a student from
Uganda and friendly soccer
player, came to Marist after
spending a few
years at
Dutchess Community College.
He came here because he was
attracted to the business pro-
gram, as well as the opportunity
to play soccer.
While here,
Kakemlo said he enjoys the
classes, and that his soccer
teammates have
,
been friendly
and accommodating. Outside of
the team though, he says things
are different.
"People just aren't as friendly.
I think they are shy because of
my accent," Kakemlo said.

"We hope to get it going next

As college stu-
dents, sleep is
something many
of us do not get
to fully experi-
ence. The raging
sounds of our
alarm
.clocks
rip
..--
-....;
. _ _
.........
--=..
.........
through our sleep and invade our
ears, robbing us of our much-
needed rest. Unless we want to
pay the consequences of skip-
ping class, we drag our butts out
of bed and hit the ground run-
ning at the start of each day.
Sleep deprivation comes not
only from our alarm clocks at
the end of our rest in the morn-
ing, but also from the innumer-
able distractions when we first
put our heads on our pillows.
The peer pressure of procrasti-
nation forces us to "pull all-
nighters," furthering our sleep
deprivation. And if .we are not
home doing work, we are out at
the bars until closing time (obvi-
ously not getting our much
needed rest.)
Some athletes on thi
.
s campus
hurt for sleep a little more than
others (i.e. members of the crew
team) who wake up at the
·
crack
of dawn every morning, cart
their butts down to the river, and
work out while many of us are
entering our first REM cycle.
Students with jobs also suffer
from additional sleep depriva-
tion as they try to balance work,
homework, and class. There just
are not enough hours in the day.
College life is not without
hope, however. There are a few
things you can do to soften the
blow of consistent sleep depriva-
tion. For example, instead of
jolting awake all of a sudden to
an alarm clock, you could try
asking your roommate to wake
you, waking up to the morning
sun by opening your blinds, or
using an alarm that plays music
at
an
increasing
volume.
Starting your day off slowly will
ease some of the pain of that ini-
tial shock. It is also important to
give yourself at least a little
·
while to calm down, relax, and
unwind before you go to bed at
night, as this will increase the
quality of your first few hours of
sleep.
•
When you wake up, slowly pre-
•
pare your body and your mind
•
for the -day ahead.
Go
to the
•
front door or to the window take
•
a few deep breaths-fresh air
•
does wonders for your lungs.
•
•
While you 're there at the door or
•
the window, get some rays. Not
•
only will you allow your eyes
•
time to adapt to the daylight, but
•
it's also been proven that the sun
•
actually stimulates the produc-
•
tion of serotonin in your brain,
•
so a few solar rays will physical-
•
ly wake up your brain. Take a
•
warm shower to get your blood
•
•
flowing and your body stimulat-
•
ed.
Also, listening to some
•
music and singing a tune or two
•
will get your throat ready to take
•
on the world.
•
With final exams and gradua-
•
tion approaching, sleep will
•
become more and more of a
•
commodity. A good night's
•
sleep to a college student is
•
•
highly underrated. Sure, nap-

Sebold read from her novel

Franklin said. "Quickly he came

Franklin, who also teaches in

Sebold said she doesn't make

does not have public speaking

"I'm of the slightly shyer set,"
she said
.
"Plus, I just feel like I

Sebold said it was the influ-

DeMarco places seventh at Yale Invitational
By
ALEX PANAGIOTOPOULOS
Staff
Writer
The Marist men's track team
didn't have time to relax last
weekend with three days of com-
petition in a span of four days.
On Thursday and Friday, the
team was in Philadelphia for the
Penn
Relays,
followed by a meet

Sunday
at
the
Yale

Connecticut,
where freshman Brian DeMarco
placed seventh in his individual
event.
One
of the main highlights in
PA was the performance of the
1,600-meter relay team on
Friday.
The team completed the race in
3:23.27, beating the old school
record by a second and a half.
The record was especially
impressive because it followed
last week's loss of sophomore
Rob
DeAngelo. to injury, forcing
coach Pete Colaizzo to substitute
in freshman Alex Soter for the
event.
"The whole relay did really
well," Colaizzo said. "Alex real-
ly was the key, because he was a
substitute but did just as well as

The

However, there is one sport
where the Red Foxes can claim
an even more intense rivalry. In
northeast baseball circles, the
rivalry between Marist and

on
the dia-

the fiercest the region has seen.

well."
Brady is familiar with mid-
major college
basketball
because
he played college ball at Siena,
graduating in 1987. He scored
over 1,000 points in his career,
finished as the school's all-time
assist leader, and was
navied
to
the Siena Hall of Fame.
He said he
hopes
to bring to
Marist the aggressive, attacking
style of play that he used.
Frosh forward Will Whittington
said he recognizes what Brady
will bring to the team.
"He is known for being a good
shooting
coach,"
he
said.
"Everyone at St. Joseph's shot
over 40 percent last season."
While every player may have
not shot over 40 percent, the
entire team shot well over the
mark for the entire season.
However,
Brady,
a New Jersey
native, said that Marist must
recruit close to home for long
term success.
'For Marlst College to go
forward, we have to tap
Into the New York market
when recruiting.'
-Matt
Brady
Head Coach
"For Marist College to go for-
ward, we have to tap into the
New York market when recruit-
ing," he said.
As St. Joe's top recruiter, Brady
said he spent years signing play-
ers that "fell through the cracks."
The Hawks, he said, never had a
McDonald's All-American in his
11 years at the school, but were
still able to find success.
He said that he hopes to bring
the same type of player to
Marist; a player that bigger
scl:lools ignored, but came to
regret doing so in the end.
Brady said that the single most
important decision he will make
in his first days as the head coach
will be to pick his coaching staff.
He is currently in the process of
contacting prospective candi-
dates.
For now, Brady's vision is clear.
He would like to add to the five
commemorative NCAA tourna-
ment watches he already has.
"I have a watch that I have not
been able to read until today,"
Brady said. "Now, I can see it

methods of writing are individ-

"When I'm working, I'm very
disciplined and very diligent,"
she said. "As- long as you finally
get to the desk, that's what mat-
ters."
Sebold said it is necessary for
her to follow a regimen because
it guarantees results.
"Keeping a disciplined sched-
ule is key because if you don't,
you'll have nothing, and if you
do eventually you'll have some-
thing," she said.
Sebold said for all that she puts
in her books, about the same
amount of work is done away
with.
"About half [ of what I write]
ends up in the book," she said.
It was best to worry about the

well as in life, she said.
"If
you judge yourself for the
process of how you get anything

it if you really love it."
Sebold read the entire first

ond and third chapters.
Those present at the reading
were glad to hear Sebold's inter-
pretation of her own work.

Elizabeth Morehead said she was
impressed by Sebold.
"The way she writes has such a
rhythm," she said. "It was great
to hear it read the way she
intended it."

Red Foxes Athletic Director Tim Murray Is 38 year old Matt Brady, who was announced as the new men's basketball coach on Monday. Brady spent 11 years as the head assistant
at
St
Joseph's University.
By
ANTHONY
OLIVIERI
Staff Writer
Marist College's national
search for the successor to 18-
year
head men's basketbaJJ coach
Dave Magarity officially came to
an end on Monday afternoon.
Matt Brady, a 17-year assistant
coach, was named the head man
at a press conference in the
Cabaret.
Brady, 38, spent the last 11 sea-
sons coaching at St. Joseph's
University in Philadelphia under
Phil Martelli. He helped the
Hawks to a school best 30-2
record this past season, a number
one national ranking, and a one-
seed in the NCAA tournament
for the first time in the program's
history.
He signed a four-year contract
to become the fifth Division I
head coach of the Red Foxes.
·Brady takes over a Marist team
that went 6-22 last season, fin-
ishing ninth in the ten-team
Metro
Atlantic
Athletic
Conference, and was ousted by
archrival Siena College in the
first round of the conference's
postseason tournament.
Brady, however, relishes the
opportunity to tum the program
around.
"It's a proud day for my wife
and family;"
he said,
"lt's a
th.riJJ
to come
to
an institution such as
Marist. This is a community that
loves basketball, and it's a first
rate college as far as support."
Many MAAC coaches agree
that Brady is entering a good sit-
uation, which aided his decision
to apply for the Marist job.
"Every coach in the MAAC that
I spoke to, and I think there were
at least six of them, think it's a
great opportunity for me to
become the next college coach
here," Brady said.' "One coach
thinks this is a sleeping giant in
tenns of the MAAC
conference
and when he said that, I was even
more excited than I was going
through the interview process."
Marist athletic director Tim
Murray introduced
·
Brady to the
gathered media and said that he
was looking for three things in
the next coach of the Red Foxes-
-recruiting, communication, and
coaching, of which Brady ful-
filled all three.
"Matt (Brady) is a proven coach
at the highest collegiate level,"
Murray said
.
Brady said that his top priority
as the new coocb
js
to
gjve the
players as much of his time as
possible. In doing so, he said he
hopes to make the 2004-2005
season the best season the return-
ing seniors will have had at
Marist.
Known for his prowess in
teaching individual skills, Brady
said he hopes to be able to work
one on one with the returning
players as soon as possible.
Brady recruited and signed
2003-2004 national player of the
year Jameer Nelson, and was
credited with helping the NBA-
bound guard poUsb hjs game,
"This is serious basketball,"
Brady said. "Players in this
league will play overseas, and
maybe if their dreams come true,
in the NBA."
"It is a very competitive league,
and the difference between top to
bottom in this league is doing the
small things and doing them
