MCTV aims to produce another platinum 'Idol'
By
KATE GIGLIO
Copy Editor
Seventeen singers all attempted
to prove that they were the best
of what's around as the first
round of the second season of
"Marist Idol" kicked off.
MCTV filmed the entire first
round on Tuesday, Nov. 9. The
footage will be broken up into
several episodes, which will air
for the rest of the semester. The
first episode will air Nov. 15.
The second round will be
filmed on Jan. 24, 2005, and the
third round will be held on
March 13 in the Nelly Goletti
Theatre, where the champion
will be announced live.
Five finalists will advance to
the final round; four chosen by
the judges, and one wildcard
chosen by Marist students.
Of the students who participat-
ed, ten will sail down their per-
sonal rivers of dreams to the sec-
ond round. Steve Krill, enter-
tainment director for MCTV and
producer of "Idol," sent an email
to
all the contestants shortly after
midnight on Wednesday morn-
ing, announcing which ten made
the first cut. In the email, the
victors were asked to submit
short biographies to be posted on
the "Marist Idol" Web site.
John
DeLaat, senior, was one
of three performers returning
from last season. This year, he
said, he "took a new approach"
to the competition. He said that
his goal was just to stay alive
through the first round.
"I took an approach of survive
and advance," he said.
DeLaat also said that this
.
year's performers should take a
bow, for improving upon the per-
formances of last season.
"We all as a whole did better,''
he said, "and we were all pulling
for one another."
Krill agreed, saying there was
"a higher quality of contestants."
Melissa Ferriola, MCTV presi-
dent, said that this time around,
filming was far from the some-
what helter-skelter production of
the show's inaugural season.
"It
ran a lot smoother from last
year," she said.
Having the same judges as last
season also contributed to the
filming's smooth operation,
Ferriola said. She and the crew,
she said, are ''more comfortable
with them now, because we
know what they need and what
they want."
DeLaat agreed that the three
Idol judges - Missy Alexander
and Keith Strudler, professors of
communications
and
Matt
Andrews, professor of English
and theater - "all seemed a little

Just because Marist students

they can relax when it comes to
becoming politically involved in

Although the major election for

won't be until February, mem-
bers of the executive board are
planning
to
revitalize the elec-

First off, I want to explain what happened last
week.
It was my bye week, so I spent it recuperating. I
am pretty much healed up. The only nagging injury I
have is a strained metacarpal, which I unfortunately
tweaked at Friday's practice typing dates. I was listed as
questionable coming into today, but I didn't want let any-
one down two weeks in a row, so I'm going to write
through the pain. A disturbance was heard on the fourth
fioor of Leo at 1: 15 p.m. Monday. Security arrived on
the scene and found that the ruckus was due to a
boyfriend/girlfriend argument. He walked in on, "How
could you forget to tape 'Desperate Housewives' for me
last night? You know I love that show. I take notes,
because that's what I'm going to end up as if I marry
you!" The lovely couple was taken to Student Affairs.

An
eight-foot limb fell from a tree outside the
Byrne building at 11 :00 a.m. Friday. On the way down,
it caused a good amount of damage to an employee car.
It is not certain what ·the cost of the damage is.

is also

ball again.

A student in Leo Hall reported he had a $20 and
two $50 bills stolen out of
his

That's what happens when you leave your door unlocked.

It
was a fire extin-

waste of money. The fire extinguisher was taken back to
its rightful spot, with no harm done. "No harm done?
Who cares whether it shot some white stuff out? It hit
some guy in the head!" He shouldn't have been standing
there.

We got our first drunk kid of the week. At 2:10
a.m. Saturday, an intoxicated student tried to gain entry
into Leo Hall. Yeah, try again when you're sober, pal.
He was taken to St. Francis. That reminds me, I haven't
written my pen pal in weeks.

Ladies, come on. Two females were seen climb-
ing into a Sheahan window at 3:35 a.m. Security soon
had the room surrounded, barged in, and threw the girls
back off campus. They weren't guests or anything, secu-
rity just felt like throwing stuff. No, I'm kidding, they
were guests; Marist Security wouldn't do that to their
own students ...

Graduating on time can be dif-
ficult enough for some students
as it is, but try tacking on six
additional courses and another
thesis.
This is what Marist
Honors Students are currently
struggling with during class reg-
istration.
Honors students are required to
take five Honors seminars and
honors ethics, in addition to a
senior honors project.
Th~se
requirements apply only to fresh-
man and sophomore members
,
due to a 2003 revision of the
Honors Program
.
Although seminars often fulfill
core requirements, and honors
ethics satisfies Marist's ethics
requirement, some students are
struggling with fitting these
requirements into their sched-
ules. While representatives of
the Honors Program say these
new requirements make the
Honors Department stronger and
more prestigious, the provisions
are consequently making mem-
bers increasingly apprehensive
about completing the program.
"It's really hard to get into the
honors class you want, and so I
think a lot of the time you end up
taking courses that are of little
relevance to your education or
your future," said Heather
Liebal
,
a sophomore honors stu-
dent.
This concern is evident among
freshman and sophomore honors
students, but. the junior represen-
tatives of the program argue that
the Honors Board is doing the
best they can to make classes
available.
"I used to think that there
should be more courses offered,
and still do, but after meeting
with the Honors Board, I realize
how unrealistic it is," said Lori
Trenholm, one of two student
representatives of the Honors
Program.
"Because the Honors Program
offers specialty courses, the pro-
fessors often have to create
entirely new syllabi," she added.
Claire Casaccio, the other repre-
sentative, agrees.
"There simply isn't a large
enough number of professors
willing to teach an Honors
course," Casaccio said.
While professors may not be
eager to take on the added work-
load, students are, according to
Rose De Angelis, director of the
Program.. De Angelis says that
there are about 150 students
enrolled in the program,
92
of
whom are freshmen and sopho-
mores.
She said she has also
seen an increase of interest in the
program from students currently
applying to Marist.
With rising interest and accept-
ance, there is a growing tension
between the size of the program
and keeping class size down.
Honors representatives say that
small class size is important to

the program.
"I am extremely pleased with
the honors courses, due to the
intimate class sizes," Casaccio
said. "By ensuring that no more
than 15 students are enrolled in
each honors course, students are
guaranteed personal attention
that they might not have received
in a regular class."
In response to worries about
too few courses being offered,
De Angelis assures that the class
list will be proportional to the
needs of the program.
"Next fall, there will be more
honors courses available," she
said. "Every year it will get big-
ger."
This spring, the Honors
Program is offering seven cours-
es. These seven courses satisfy--
four of the five Honors seminars.
There are two classes listed
under Versions of the Self
(Personality Development and
The Body in Pain). There is also
one class listed under the Art of
Culture (Race and Ethnicity in
Film), another listed under
Global Engagement (The Great
Powers and Palestine since
WWI), and another listed under
Science
,
Technology
,
and
Society (Sociobiology). Also, a
second Global Engagement
course (City as Text) will be
available for students studying in
Spain
.
There is also an honors
.
ethics course, taught by Mark
Worrell, available this upcoming
,
semester.

Web pop-ups keep students inf armed of
campus activities
ideas like a pop-up ad would be
beneficial to the election process.
"A pop-up ad would get peo-
ple's attention,"
D'
Ambrosio
said. "Last year I didn't know
anything about voting for SGA."
D' Ambrosio also said that she
wasn't familiar with SGA and
how it operates.
"I have no idea what they do or
how they help
us,"
she said.
Other students who said they
enjoyed voting online last year
included Kaitlyn Pierce, a sopho-
more psychology/special educa-
tion major.
"It
was very convenient
to
vote
online last year," she said. "But
they do need to do a better job of
advertising the elections. There
wasn't any information about it
besides a couple of signs."
Pierce said she became con-
vinced whom she would vote for
when the candidates made
rounds
in
the dorms.
"I
knew a few people involved
in the elections," she said.
"I
based my decision on when the
candidates came to talk to
us."
SGA officials said they hope an
updated format, new features,
and a better public relations cam-
paign will produce a successful
election in the upcoming year.
ResN et holds spyware seminar to clean up students' computers
play online video games. These
programs also track the user
while he or she surfs the web,
which can slow down the com-
puter.
Another problem is progams
like Kazaa that allow people all
over the world to share files.
LaBarbera said that this poses a
security threat to anyone who
downloads a song or a movie.
"You've might wanted to share
that one song,
but
you are shar-
ing everything else
on
your com-
puter," she said.
From Page Three
These programs can allow
other users to gather files other
than a song
or
movie. Some spy-
ware programs can gather highly
personal information about a stu-
dent's bank account or even a
social security number.
LaBarbera said that identity
theft is a real danger.
"Your social security number
can never be replaced," she said.
"It's very expensive to clean up
your stolen identity."
While identity theft is a cause
for concern, a more immediate
problem Hughes said that Marist
is facing is warnings from other
industries about the file sharing
that some students have partici-
pated in.
Some programs allow students
to download songs for a price.
It
is very similar to a person going
to a music store and buying their
favorite album. While Kazaa
offers a service where users pay,
the material they download is
from another person's computer
and is not considered legal.
"We've
had to kick about 20
students off [the network] this
year," he said.
Companies are using students'
IP addresses to track down the
illegal downloads from file-shar-
ing programs.
They then send letters warning
the user to stop sharing files or
face a lawsuit. Marist has to
force the students off the net-
work and they are not allowed
back on until they can prove that
they have no file sharing pro-
grams or illegal files on their
computer.
Spyware also makes register-
ing onto the network difficult.
In
order for a student to register he
needs to have the latest security
patches
from
Microsoft.
Spalding said that some spyware
programs will disable a comput-
er so that the student can't run
the patches on his computer.
"Until they get their spyware
off their machines, they can't
register to the network," he said.
Resent has expanded the staff
and extended the hours in order
to meet the needs of both stu-
dents and faculty. Every year
ResNet compiles a free CD that
has programs like Spybot that
can scan a student's system for
spyware. There is also a
link on
ResNet's website for Adaware, a
program that also eliminates
Spyware from a computer.
LaBarbera said that ResNet is
trying to meet the needs of
everyone at Marist.
·
"Not only are we trying to pro-
tect Marist students, we are try-
ing to protect the Marist commu-
nity," she said.
Hunger awareness month kicks off; Campus Ministry expects to
exceed
prior
years'
goals
lack
lobbies
like the Champagnat
Breezeway. This makes it harder
to
advertise to the campus popu-
lation, a challenge the ministry is
looking to overcome.
Kelly said he is putting a lot of
emphasis on informing students
who live off campus.
"It is always harder to commu-
nicate when students live farther
away," Kelly said. "But by put-
ting in the effort to inform these
students, it will help the charity
as a whole."
The students will have another
c~ance to donate starting Nov
11.
These days are "Buck Hunger
Days," where students at tables
around campus ask their col-
leagues to donate $1.
The biggest event of the month
is the Hunger
Banquet
on Nov
17
in the Cabaret. The banquet
includes a random drawing,
where students are placed at
either first, second or third world
tables. This puts the inequality of
world hunger in perspective for
students.
Allison Kline, a Marist College
sophomore, attended the hunger
banquet last year.
"It
was really fun," Kline said.
"I
plan on going again this year."
Media center provides campus with advanced connections to outside media outlets and projects
Media services uses Marist
students to accomplish their var-
ious jobs and responsibilities.
"Students
are the reason differ-
ent
things
on campus are able to
work," Hall said. "We hire 22-
25 student workers to help us
out."
The student workers do every-
thing; delivering equipment, fix-
ing problems, and even shooting
and editing outside projects
.
Ralph Filardo, a student work-
er at media services, said work-
ing for media services has given
him a lot of experience with tele-
vision media. Filardo, who is the
head of the Marist College
Television News Department
said that being active in media
services has been very beneficial
toMCTV.
"I was able to make some great
connections
with
James
Duryeah, Joey Wall, and Lee
Wallace, all of which have
helped me extremely in my
efforts in MCTV," Filardo said.
MCTV produced five and a
half live Election DaY. coverage
the evening of Nov.
2.
Tim O'Leary, chief engineer of
MCTV, said media services
helped MCTV set up the show.
"The
studio we used was theirs,
so everything went through
them," O'Leary said.
"They
helped us with getting the show
out live along with the phone
system,
so we could talk to
callers on air."
Marist's media center is unique
from other college's centers, Hall
said.
"Usually, media services is
located in the basements of other
colleges, and they are a depart-
ment that is rarely seen," Hall
said. "Here at Marist, we give
students hands-on opportunities
to gain experience in a field in
which they are interested in
perusing."

His own fault, Kerry fails in swing states
_By
IGOR VOLSKY
Staff Writer
John Kerry has lost his bid for
the presidency.
To
most
Democrats who, expecting a
Kerry
victory,
were confirming
their celebration-party catering,
the loss was a major disappoint-
ment. But President Bush had
been confident all along. When
asked if he had any doubts about
winning a second
term,
Bush
would
fi~rcely
shake his head
from side to side with the convic-
tion of a two-year-old refusing to
eat his broccoli.
11rroughout the election, I had
been quick to dismiss the presi-
dent's confidence as arrogance;
convinced
that his policies had
alienated so many Americans
that his defeat was inevitable.
But this election was not decided
by the issues. Instead, the
vote
turned into a referendum on gay
marriage and Kerry's
service
in
Vietnam.
When Kerry became the "like-
ly Democratic
nominee" in
March/ April 2004, the Bush
campaign,
although disappointed
that they could not run against
Howard Dean ( according to a
Newsweek article, Karl Rove-
confident that the president
would
be
facing
Dean in the gen-
eral
election-had
already
assembled
an anti-Dean
"binder"
and had commissioned several
anti-Dean ads), had already pro-
filed Kerry as a flip-flopping lib-
eral.
This
characterization
formed
the echo
chamber
through which all other
issues
were discussed, and before Kerry
could even get through a stump
speech, (and we know how long
that takes ... ) he had been
defined-in their terms, not his.
Recognizing this, Kerry did
what he thought was most logi-
cal-he spoke of his
service in
Vietnam. In fact, thinking back
on the campaign, Kerry's only
memorable line was Vietnam-
related:
"I'm
John Kerry and
I'm
reporting for duty!" (Originally,
Kerry planned to open the
speech with "I'm John Kerry and
I approve this message"). At the
time, this opening was thought to
have been effective. But in
,
ret-
rospect, it is clear that it served
as a diversion; from that point
on, the election turned into a ref-
erendum on John Kerry's
charac-
ter rather than on George Bush's
policies. With that opening,
Kerry identified himself as
a
Vietnam veteran running
for
president, instead of a candidate
with plausible alternatives to
Bush's failed policies who hap-
pened to have been in Vietnam.
In
fact,
the most powerful mes-
sage for change was outsourced
to P. Diddy, while
Kerry juggled
with
"The Real Deal," "Stronger
at Home, Respected Around the
World,"
"Wrong
War, Wrong
Place, Wrong Time," and
"A
Fresh Start." Some candidates
use
slogans
as filler for policy
gaps. But this was not true in
Kerry's case.
In
fact, the senator
from Massachusetts had plausi-
ble alternatives for everything
from healthcare to the war on ter-
ror, but he could never effective-
ly
communicate
anything
(beyond
•'we
have better hair")
in simple
terms.
Meanwhile, the Bush campaign
used referendums on gaY- mar-
riage
(strategically,
in key
swing
states) to motivate thousands of
moderate
to conservative voters
to vote
in
their favor. This was
Bush's
version
of
"Vote
or Die."
And Kerry, instead of
shifting
the debate to more substantive
policy
issues,
invoked Dick
Cheney's
lesbian daughter and
thus
only accentuated the issue.
Then in October, after three
impressive
debate performances,
Kerry's
poll numbers began to
pick up. But by then, it was too
little, too late. The Bush cam-
paign had long since defin~d the
senator,
and he
was
never able to
break out of its framework.
Instead,
by
spouting
seemingly
contradictory
rhetoric and
elabo-
rating endlessly
during his
stump
llpecrein;s;

Marist recruits through the Hudson
line
By
RALPH FILARDO Ill
Circle Contributor
Every November, Marist
College rides Metro North's
Hudson Line to recruit students
of various ethnic backgrounds.
The former Assistant Director
of Admissions, David Gelpi
began the Metro to Marist pro-
gram in the early 1990s. The pro-
gram was initiated to help to
recruit additional students of dif-
ferent ethnic backgrounds and
upbringings
to
the
Marist
College campus.
Jay E. Murray, Marist College
director of admissions, said that
the issue of race is a sensitive
one at some schools, especially
outside of the urban areas.
"In a small private institution
such as Marist, there are chal-
lenges present to diversify the
campus, so we seek out initia-
tives to diversify the campus
with such programs as Metro to
Marist," said Murray.
During two weekends in
November, both Murray and the
Senior Assistant Director of
Admissions, Luis Santiago, trav-
el to Grand Central Station in
New York City to pick up the
prospective students that have
agreed to participate in the pro-
gram. The participants then head
to Poughkeepsie and stay on
campus until they return home in
the evening.
When the students arrive on the
Marist College campus, they are
treated to lunch. During the College Admission

Supporting a good cause has
never been more fashionable.
The extreme success of the

y,ellow rubber bracelets has
inspired the Susan

Breast Cancer Foundation and
specifically, the Puget Sound
Komen Affiliate to produce pink
silicon bracelets engraved with
the mantra 'Together' and others
with 'Sharing the Promise'.
Looking around campus at the
flashes of yellow peeking out of

'Livestrong' logo is valued by
many. What's more, both women
and men wear this trendy
Armstrong emblem with every
ensemble--sweatpants
and
khakis alike. But why do most
people wear it? Is it trendy to
support good causes, or are good
causes like the pink bracelets
that promote breast cancer
awareness the sole reason why
the masses are flocking to e-
commerce websites, Target, New
Balance stores, and other host
sites?
Despite
hidden
agendas and
ulterior motives, the $3.00
bracelets are selling out fast. The

Pajama Game is great success
By
ALEXANDRIA BRIM
Staff Writer
"Nothing's quite the same as the Pajama Game!" This
was a popular sentiment this past weekend at the Nelly
Goletti Theater as Marist College Council on Theatre
Arts (MCCTA) staged its musical production, a mount-
ing of the Pajama Game.
Pajama Game tells of the struggle of the workers at the
Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory for their well-deserved seven-
and-a-half cent pay raise as they try to adjust t<;> the new
supervisor, Sid Sorokin, who has caught the eyes of all
isn't in love with Sid, until he manages to steal her heart
at the annual picnic.
Their budding relationship is deeply tied to the union,
as Babe is very involved. When the workers go on a slow
down, factory problems rise and Babe is fired by Sid.
In
an effort to patch things up, Sid works hard to
try
to come
to a solution that will make both the union and the facto-
ry happy, attempting to bring Babe back to him.
Rachel Wasser and Joe Cummings excelled
in
the roles
of activist Babe and new
superintendent-in-love,
Sid.
However, this couple was overshadowed by Pajama
Game's tumultuous lovers, Gladys, the secretary, and
Hines,
the

Gladys' wan-

Pedro sports a powerful serve for Marist. He reached the finals

Earlier in the season, Valenti
had a streak of seven shutouts
this season, which spanned the
entire month of October and
spurred the Red Foxes to eight
straight wins.
"That showed they can put it
all together, string together
some victories," Herodes said.

Marist put any concerns about
the defending champions to rest
after the opening event had soph-
omore Dan Garaffa, and seniors
Matt Castillo, Kevin Connors,
and Jeff Paul set a new dual-meet
season record in the 400-medley
relay with a time of 3:29.25.
Atref the record-setting race,
Marist used a combination of
team depth, and a heavy dose of
VanWagner's "iron man," sopho-
more Nick Chevallier, to pace
the victory.
According to Van Wagner, plac-
ing its three entries in the top-
five of each event was a "com-
mon trend". throughout the m~et,
even whert he thought Rider had
the edge.
"I thought coming in, we had
more depth than Rider did, and it
proved true.
Even in diving
where I thought we might be
weaker, we placed all three of
our divers in the top-five," he
said.
"When
you see our three
are performing better than their
three, it tells you how much
depth is on your team. While
dual meets can be won with qual-
ity swimmers, championships
are won with depth. We proved
to have both

"Nick
swam what I call the
'iron man' events, which are the
longest and most difficult events
there are, and he won all three.
He won the first individual meet
in the beginning, the 1000 yard
freestyle. Then, in the middle of
the meet he won the 200 butter-
fly, and only two events later,
on
less than fifteen minutes rest,
won the 500 yard freestyle.
While Coach Van Wagner said
that during the week he made no
mention of the streak or the
MAAC Championship from a
year ago, the energy and enthusi-
asm his squad displayed against
Rider was an indication they
knew full well that this meet was
a preliminary showdown.
"I'm sure the captains probably
mentioned the streak," he said.
''They had a pasta party the night
before the meet, and I'm sure it
was mentioned. Plus, Rider beat
them last year, so they knew
coming in, this was going to be a
test. No doubt they were excit-

Hard-hitting Genovese and partner Rodriguez win nien's doubles match
By
PAUL SEACH
Sports Editor
Despite losing their first
·
MAAC title in six years last sea-
son, the Marist College Red
Foxes tennis team continued its
succes
·
s by capturing the Flight A
doubles title in the Dartmouth
Invitational last weekend.
Pedro Genovese and Leonardo
Rodriguez defeated Dartmouth's
Jeff Schechtman and Mark
Brodie 8-5
In
the finals.
Sophomore Ray Josephs came
up short in the Flight B single's
final, losing to Rutgers Raphael
Goldwaser in two sets 6-3, 6-4.
After receiving a bye in the first
round, Josephs defeated Robbie
Lim 6-1, 6-1 in the quarterfinals.
In the next few rounds, Josephs
played some tough games, but
came out on top
.
In the quarterfi-
nals, Josephs defeated Jeff
Hurlbert of Dartmouth 5-7, 6-2,
10-7.
In the semifinals, David
Marshall
from
Assumption
College did not put up much of a
fight,
losing
to Josephs 6-3, 6-2.
On the doubles side, Rodriguez
and
Genovese
defeated
Dartmouth's David Webb Andres
Reyes 8-5. The duo continued
their
dominance
against
Dartmouth,
next
defeating
Steven McGaughy and David
Waslen 8-6.
Captain
Mark
Santucci lost in
his first match in the Flight A sin-
gles losing to Patrick Flint of
Hartford 6-3, 6-4. He won in the
backdraw on Saturday defeating
Mark Brodie from Dartmouth 7-
6, 6-0.
Coach Tim Smith said winning
in this tournament was a good
sign for the team.
"For these guys to win against
some of the bigger teams like
Brqwn, Harvard, Princeton and
Manhattan, it was one of the big-
ger wins for the program," he
said. "Whether or not they can
build on this success is
key."
Manhattan comes back this
season with almost every player
and boasts an entirely interna-
tional team.
Aside from the results on the
court, Smith praised Dartmouth
for being a great host school.
"From the national anthem to
the officials, this is the best run
tournament I have ever partici-
pated in my tenure at Marist," he
said. "I can see why they gave
Chuck Kinyon a multi-million
dollar facility because of the first
class program they run."
Dartmouth provided every
player and coach with food and
drinks and also had officials who
participated in the
U.
S. Open.

With St. Peter's waiting for them in playoffs, men's soccer team loses season finale to Rider
By BRIAN

There was good news and bad
news for the men's soccer team
Sunday.
The bad news? The Red Foxes
(9-7, 6-3) fell to conference
opponent Rider 2-1, their third
loss in as many games.
The good news? Marist's sea-
son virtually starts over as they
head to the MAAC conference
tournament on Friday.
The team clinched a birth in
the postseason four games ago
with 3-0 victory on October 29
over Manhattan, and now find
themselves two wins away from
the national tournament. Their
opponent will be a familiar one
- the Peacocks of St. Peter's.
Head coach Bobby Herodes
said that even though they just
battled St. Peter's in a double

tional game," he said. "In fact,
I think it'll be a case of trying to
mentally 'pump them down.'"

With Sunday's loss to Rider,
Marist has lost three games in a
row, their longest such streak of
the year. Additionally, Rider's
win allowed them to become
the fourth and final team in the
MAAC tournament, earning
them a match-up against top-
ranked Loyola.

what kind of team it was.
If uncertainty was not a factor,
then there was also the Red

Therefore, for Van Wagner,
Saturday's 148.5-94.5 victory
over the Broncs was an opportu-

qualify for the division one

other feats.
"She (Malski) has a very good
chance of achieving her goal in

Van Wagner said even though
they defeated Rider convincingly,
he still yearns for a flawless per-
formance.
"I look at dual~meets as barom-
eters to realize and eliminate mis-
takes and thus giving your ath-

The Marist women's volley-
ball team traveled to Wagner

record to 12-14.
The Lady Red Foxes overpow-
ered the Seahawks, sweeping
them in three games with scores
of30-16, 30-27, and 30-26.
Offensively, the Lady Red
Foxes were led by sophomore

Women's swimming team
beats Rider in home opener
By
GABE PERNA
Staff Writer
The women's swimming and
diving team competed recently
against the Rider University
Broncs
in a dual meet, and the
results were more than satisfacto-
ry for head coach Larry
Van Wagner and crew as the Red
Foxes won 142.50 to 100.50.
Leading the way for Marist was
the diving team who swept both
of their events, with junior
Meghan
Duffy
leading the way.
Duffy, won her the Metro
Athletic Atlantic Conference
championship in both diving
events last year as well as runner
up for MAAC Diver of the Year,
had a score of 244.65 both times.
Finishing in second and third
places respectively in the I-meter
and 3-meter platforms were
freshman Melissa Mangona and
sophomore Anna Sanner.
Van Wagner said he expected
dominance from his team, espe-
cially in diving.
"Obviously our strong suit was
diving, where we got one, two,
and three in both events," he
said. "Yeah and that is what I
expected with diving."
Meanwhile, the swimmers also
had a strong contribution to the
victory, especially the relay
teams who both registered great
times in victory. The 400-yard
medley team consisting of fresh-
man Jamie Falco, sophomore
Lauren Malski, junior Jennifer
Gelsomino, and sophomore Kim
Koehler, swam for a time
4:00.61, which set a new Marist
College dual-meet record.

MAAC season with 44-13 road loss against Holy Cross
By

Staff
Writer
The Marist College football
team finished up the 2004 sea-
son with a lopsided 44-13 road
loss at Holy Cross Saturday,
Nov. 6.
The Red Foxes, who ended
the year on a three-game road
trip, lost their last two road con-
tests to drop their record to 3-6
on the season.

On the season's final day,
Holy Cross was able to avoid
what would have been its first
winless season at home since
1996. It also recorded its largest
margin of victory since a 2001
win over Dartmouth.
Holy Cross quarterback John
O'Neil completed 21 of 33 pass-
es for 268 yards and three
touchdowns, while also running
for a score.
Tailback Steve
Silva piled on 121 yards and
two more scores
,
for the
Crusaders.
Holy Cross had a 21-0 lead
just 7:44 into the game on
O'Neil touchdown strikes to
Francis Herlihy and Luke
Dugan, and the quarterback's
32-yard touchdown scamper.
Silva pounded in a two-yard
touchdown plunge to make the
score 28-0 with 9:48 left in the
Brian Kiraly
touchdown
run
with 4:07 remaining, leaving
the Crusaders with a three
touchdown lead going into the
locker room at halftime
.
Silva pushed the lead back to
four scores with a third quarter
touchdown run with 10:59 left
in the period.
