they are building a future not just

nothing I would change about the
campus," she said.
"It
has such a
wonderful atmosphere that the
students reflect and while people
talk about issues with unity, I feel
the student body is unified. My
goal is just to continue along that
same success," Markey stated.
Alyssa Oxford, SGA elections
commissioner, ran the process of
elections and compared to last
year,
.
there was a difference.
Oxford felt that organization was
essential in organizing a series of
events dedicated to voting to the
freshmen class of
2008.
"This
election has been
extremely challenging more so
than previous years due to a
higher level of participation,"
Oxford said: "In addition, it has
been enjoyable to see an out-
pouring of performing civic
duties. Despite the heated com-
petition, students are making an
effort to improve their student
body and take the right steps
toward improving their freshman
class," she said.
Along with the positive inter-
pretations, there were mixed
opinions
from
candidates.
Nicole Brooks Donolli, vice
presidential candidate, loved the
time spent campaigning and
meeting new people, but she
thought other
things
could have

"I've been waiting for Kerry to

Kerry's attacks on Bush's

Schnurer said that Kerry would
make a mistake if "he uses a
number of reversals on Bush's

should focus on establishing his

that he did not waiver when it

Many people find jobs through
a personal contact. You have
an advantage over all the other
applicants for a position when
·
someone within an organiza-
tion recommends you.
So,
you should talk to family
members, friends or aquain-
tances who have connections
in the industry you want to
work in.
Let
them know that
you are looking for a job,
and
maybe they will know of some
opportunities. The
Center
for
Career Services has an online
Alumni
Career
Network
,
where you can
search
for
and
contact
Marist
graduates
in
your
industry
area for net-
working
purposes.
Another
great way to prepare
for a job is
to
do an internship,
and
it is not too late for
seniors
to sign up
for
a
spring
intern
-
ship. An internship
looks
great
on your resume and
provides
you with
contacts
in the indus-
try
and field experience.
If
you
want more informa-
tion
about
jobs
and intern-
ships, check out
the new Web
site
for
the
Center for Career
Services
at
www.marist.edu
/ca

vices
/
.
Seniors can also pick
up
a free Career Guide at
the
Center for Career Services,
which is located
on
the third
floor of the library
.
This
guide contains
information on
resumes
and cover
letters,
as
well as job search strategies
and interviewing
techniques.
So go
take the
fii.st step in
the
job
search
process.
Whether
you work on your
resume
,
meet
with Career
Services, or research potential
employers, you will feel better

MAAC last season with a goals

The team will also benefit from
a second full ye,ar of coaching
under Noelle Cebron, as well as
her assistant coaches Megan
Murphy and Alyson Shand.
Cebron truly had an illustrious
collegiate career at Temple
Saturday Highlight
University. She ranks second on
their all-time assists list with 88
and led the Owls to two straight
Atlantic-
IO
championships and
NCAA Tournament berths. As a
senior
in
2002, she set a school
single-season record with 37

Cebron's goal will be to help
Marist navigate through the
MAAC tournament and into
"The Big Dance".
Last year,
they were within two games of
their ultimate goal, and in 2003,
they couldn't get past LeMoyne
in the MAAC final.

sive fatal heart attack.
Like this college student, most
people at some point want to gain
some energy and shed those few
extra pounds, whether for a for-
mal, to look better in a bathing
suit, or just for a self-confidence
boost. While there's no danger in
wanting to lose a little wyight, the
problem lies in how you do it.
Often, people are lazy and look
for the easiest way to achieve
the.ir goals. So people often
turn
to diet pills like Metabolife 356,
Extreme
Ripped
Force,
Xendarine RFA-1 and Ripped
Fuel. The active ingredient
in
most of these pills is ephedra,
also known as ephedrine; which
acts in a similar way as adrena-
line. It dilates the bronchial mus-
cles, contracts the nasal mucosa,
raises the blood pressure and
stimulates the heart. Parts of the
evergreen tree from which
ephedrine is derived have been
used in Chinese medicine for
thousands of years to treat symp-
toms of colds and asthma. But
today, it is sold in dozens of
name-brand weight loss pills to
provide energy, increase metabo-
lism and burn fat. Ephedra prod-
ucts have gained popularity with
athletes and people wanting to
get a better workout at the
gym.

Ovarian
transplant makes childbirth possible for cancer survivors
'
.
By
KRISTEN
ALLDREDGE
Health Editor
In
Brussels, Belgium the •first
child was born to a cancer sur-
vivor after having an ovarian
transplant. Denise Grady of the
New York Times reported on
Friday, Sept. 24 that this is first
time a successful birth resulted
from ovarian tissue that was
removed, frozen and then re-
implanted.
This operation of transplanting
ovarian tissue was developed to
give women whose ovaries
would be damaged or destroyed
by cancer treatment or o'ther
major surgery. Ourada Touirat
was diagnosed with Hodgkin's
lymphoma in 1997 and had her
tissue removed, hoping to pre-
serve her fertility.
Chemotherapy
treatment for
cancer contains drugs that dam-
age ovaries and cause premature
menopause and infertility. Men
undergoing chemo therapy have
the option to preserve their
reproductive cells by freezing
them, but the process is more
complicated and costly for
women. The journal Lancet
explains that one possibility is
the czyopreservation of embryos
conceived
by
m-vitro
{ertiliza-
tion (IVF), but it is still regarded
as experimental and has a lower
success rate than embryo stor-
age. On the other hand, harvest-
ing and cryopreservation of ovar-
ian tissue permits a woman to
conceive naturally with her own
eggs, and to delay pregnancy
until she is healthy. Additionally,
an ovarian graft
makes natural
sex steroids available in circum-
stances where hormone ~lace-
ment therapy would
be
required.
The Times Herald Record
reported on Friday, Sep. 24 that
the removal of the tissue was
performed by
Dr. Jaques Donnez
of Catholic University. Five
years later, after Touirat was in
remission and had undergone
premature menopause, the ovari-
an tissue was grafted back into
her Fallopian tubes. She became
pregnant the natural way and
gave
birth
to
a healthy eight
pound three
ounce
girl.
The birth of Touirat's
daughter
eases worry for cancer
patients
hoping
to have children. The
New
York
Times said
that
Dr.
Donnez wants the ovary-freezing
technique to be offered to

MTV will

as well, to advocate their Rock the

Founded
in
1990,
MTV's Rock the
Vbte campaign encourages the youth
6f
America to create positive social
and
political change in their lives and
communities. As a strong supporter of
Rock the Vote, Train hopes to encour-

-vote
in time for the upcoming presi-

Train's second album Drops of Jupiter

was released on March 27,

with
its title track,
"Drops

"Drqps

on
the
Hot 100 and
won a

position
as
one
of the
most
well-received rock
bands
in recent music history.
The hand continues to evolve, as evi-
denced
in their third album My
Private
Nation in June
2003.
Even the
band
members have seen sufficient growth as
musicians and as
people
in general.
On
their Web site, Underwood says that
since the band's inception, they have all
developed both pofessionally and per-
sonally.
"Spiritually and
culturally
we've all
grown tremendously," he said.
"We're
very close, we know each other so 'well,
but
right now it's nice to know how to
completely live
in
this
world
as profes-
sional musicians."
In deciding on
Train
for this fall's con-
cert, SPC board president Kristen
Hugger said that they sought a popular
band whose tour schedule would allow
them to appear at Marist.
"We work with an agency for the con-
certs we put on each semester and they
give us a heads-up, and we heard about
Train and thought they would be a great
selection," she said.
"They've
had
numerous hits and we had heard abt>ut
their live shows before and they're
known for putting pn an exce
ll
ent live
show."
Train will also be performing at
Eastern Connect
i
cut State University
and Edinboro
University,
among others.
Train's support of Rock the Vote has
stirred up great excitement on campus.
After Marist's Battle of the Bands Sept.
25, students have been more and more
interested in MTV's Rock the Vote and
are impressed with Train
.'
s cooperation
with MTV in trying to get the message
out to America
'
s youth to become
active in instituting change in their
communities and taking action on the
issues troubling society today.
·
Marist sophomores Will Moeller and
Pat Collins agree that Train's tour with
MTV
is
a great way to educate college
students on the importance of taking
action in their communities.
"Even though I'm not too famil
i
ar
with Train, I do believe that Rock the
Vote is a great way to get my age group
aware of the issues revo
l
ving around
our society," Moeller said.
Collins agreed, saying that he appre-
ciated the cause.
"Although I'll be
missing the show, I'm glad that bands
such as Trai'n are here to support the
youth of America with Rock the Vote,"
he said. "I think it's great that finally
people
our
age will be out there
voting
for whatever we believe in."
Train's appearance at Marist will be
more than just an enjoyable concert. By
bringing MTV's Rock
the
Vote to the
Marist campus, Train encourages stu-
dents to assert themselves

ESPN should know when to fold when it comes to poker coverage

they

For these stations
poker has been
a
good
bet
in
filling their
times-
lots.
It
has
the unpredicgibility that
is found in sports and at the same
time
is cheap for
companies
to
produce. Although
I
can under-
stand why poker is on television,
I
still do not want it on sports tele-
::vision.
There are only so
many
times
when a
pe,r50il
can turn ou thc;ir
favorite station and
realize
the
same episode is on again. Other
stations do not constantly rerun
the
same episodes of a program;
sa
why
are
ESPN and
Bmvo.
Faithful viewers of
a
network
should
not be S\lbjected to
watch-
ing the same episodes
constantly,
especially when
there
are
other
programs that
can
be
shown. You
might
be
saying,
just change the

but the
point
is
I
should not
have
to. When I
turn
on my television
and
click
to
a
sports station,
I
expect
there
will
be an athletic
c;vcmt or
sports
talk. I
slmuld not
be subjected
to
watching
what
is
equivalent to a
board game,
irt
which the
player with some
strat-
egy and luck
wins.
A game
with
no athletic qualities
has
constantly
been
on a
sport$
station
for
months.
This
game
might someday
be considered
a
sport
by
some.
Although
it
requires
mental
ability~ the
only
physical
requirements are
that the
player
has
eyes to see
their
cards
and
a
hand
to
move their
cards
and chips.
As
much
as
I dislike poker on
