Local vendors set up booths, displays

Students had the opportunity to meet
with vendors and service providers from
all over the Hudson Valley in an entertain-
ing atmosphere last Friday at the sixth
annual Wellness Fair.
Fitness concerns and various methods of
well-being booths dotted along the
Mccann center.
Roberta Staples, director of the counsel-
ing center, felt the event has progressed
significantly since its inception six years
ago.
"We had over the years done many pro-
grams of health and wellness addressing
alcohol, personal safety, eating disorders,
[and] stress management," Staples said.
"We decided this year that we would try to
kickoff every year with a big event that
would introduce the campus community to
various ways of taking care of yourself ...
addressing non-traditional, and traditional
ways of self care and managing stress."
Free massages, blood pressure and cho-
lesterol checks, body fat readings, free
health shakes and foods, condoms, and
acupuncture sessions were provided for the
attendees.
"This year is the first time we have
received a number of calls from agencies
in the
conununity,"
Staples said.
"I
guess
the
word
is out there that Marist is doing
some really interesting
things."
Senior Cynthia Adarian stood in line
before lacrosse practice to have her body
fat measurement taken.
"I came to see how it was
.
I did a breath-
ing evaluation and a cardio evaluation,"
Adarian said. "It's good because you get a
different idea of how you really are in
terms of your breathing or your body
structure."
The Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union
was on hand to advise students on ways to
avoid sticky financial situations through a
board game called "Financial Freedom."
Each student was asked several questions
and then given a prize for answering cor-
rectly.
Branch Manager, Jeremy Brooks, felt
that financial stability adds to a person's
well-being, which is the reason their cor-
poration decided
to
participate in the fair.
"If
you are financially well-off or have
the knowledge, you will have less stress in
your life," said Brooks.
"An
'
educated
financial person is better off than some-
one who isn't."
Certified local hypnotist, Arthur Huy of
Z.S.I. Hypnotherapy offered a non-tradi-
tional alternative to help students stop
smoking. He felt that by introducing him-
self to the student community at the
Wellness Fair that he would be better able
to aid younger generations to stop smok-
ing before they developed chronic
illnesses.
"I thought if I could get to
them before it gets too seri-
ous, I could help them have
healthy lives," Huy said.
Students overall seemed
pleasantly surprised and
extremely satisfied by the
Wellness Fair.
They walked from booth
to ho.6th, investigating one-
of-a-kind techniques of
achieving spiritual and men-
tal vigor.
Punita Murthy, graduate
student, had a demonstrator
pei:form acupuncture on her.
"I heard acupuncture
works, so I just thought I'd
give it a try," Murthy said.

Kellie Cunningham, sopho-
more, knew since she transferred
to Marist last spring that the
Student Government Association
(SGA) would be a part of her
everyday
life.
"I was eager to get involved and
was appointed the position of
president,"
.
said Cunningham.
She was one of the 11 class offi-
cer candidates at SGA's Speech
Night, the second stage of the
election process.
Each candidate expressed their
reasons for running for office, as
well as individual goals for the
future of Marist.
The event, televised by MCTV,
opened with an introduction by
Melissa Mayfield, director of
public relations, who then intro-
duced each candidate to the audi-
ence.
'[oday, the SGA will be holding
a special "Meet the Candidates"
event. Elections will begin next
week on Sept. 29. Voting can be
done via the SGA website.

"If
it's an issue with the stu-

However, the student body is

dle. That is why each year elec-
tions are held for class officers

representatives for each individ-
ual class. The resident senators

Likewise, the commuter senators

endorsed students to sign

ing election. Each candidate was
required to submit a certain
amount of signatures ( class offi-

Students
relate to Revolution
By
JOHN
C.
BRENNAN
Staff
Writer
Imagine a group of Marist stu-
dents were going to rebel against
a dean for som.e wrongdoings he
had committed against the Marist
student body.
Some students wished for vio-
lence and some for peace, while
others could not decide at all.
Although this situation is ridicu-
lous in sense, this example
served as insight at Friday's his-
torical lecture by Dr. Joseph
Tiedemann, author and professor
of history at Loyola Mary Mount
College.
Marist College, in correlation
with the Hudson River Valley
Institute, celebrated the 225
anniversary of the Revolu-
tionary War in the Hudson River
Valley this past weekend.
Tiedemann, originally from
New York, is the author of two
books, including his most recent,
"The Other New York: The
Revolution Outside New York
City."
The
lecture
grounded
itself in the state of New York
during the revolutionary period,
and touched upon the motives of
rebels and why it took so long for
upstate New Yorkers to join the
revolution
.
'I
enjoyed the experience
and the enthusiasm
of
the
crowd.'
- Dr. Joseph Tiedemann
Tiedemann said that the revo-
lution began in urban areas, and
slowly spread out to the suburban
areas of the colonies. In accor-
dance with Tied~ann•s theory,
New Yorkers did not get
involved in the revolution until
1774. This was also the time
period when the Wigs occupied
New York City; upstate residents
had no choice but to join the rev-
olution. Colonial people tended
to choose their side in the revolu
-
tion depending on which social
group would favor their religious
denomination, economic interest,
and so on. Tiedemann suggested
an example of a split in the revo-
lution caused by religion, which
occurred when two ~otesta.nt
groups in New York City wete in
a dispute over local power and
control of Colwnbia University.
After the lecture Tiedemann
socialized with the audience .
"I enjoyed the experience and I
enjoyed the enthusiasm of the
crowd," said Tiedemann.
Stephen Conlon, sophomore,
said that Tiedemann presented a
plethora of information to his
audience.
"Tiedemann was an excellent
speaker. I am glad to see Marist
putting on these types of events,
said Conlon."
This lecture is part of an annu-
al series offered by the history
department.
Dr.
Thomas Wermuth, dean of
the
school of liberal
arts,
said
programs such as these help
stu-
dents become more familiar with
the surrounding community.
"Part of the work that we are
doing with the Hudson River
Valley Institute is trying to have
more lectures and intellectual
activities on campus to engage
students more fully."

Last week's biggest surprise:
Upper West Cedar. Even though
these guys are off campus, they
proved they can still get written
up. However, the distance away
from campus will limit their pro-

Last week's biggest disappoint-

L
Asst.
Managing Editor
Brother Michael Williams is a student
mentor for Leo Hall who lives and works
in. the dorm. In addition, Brother Michael
plays a role in Campus Ministry .
Q:
lhJw long have you been a mentor at
Marist?
A:
This is my second year as a mentor;
however, I have been working with
Campus Ministry since 1991. My major
focus with Campus Ministry was to
develop and maintain a community serv-
ice program and help with retreat work.
When I became a "mentor" last year, stu-
dents came up to me asking, "Brother,
I
thought you already were
a mentor." And to them,
I
had already been a mentor,
but ·now
I
had the title of
an "academic mentor." I
continue working with
C~mpus Ministry by
run-
ning "City Plunge," which
is a program that goes on
in the inner-city areas dur-
ing winter or spring break.
Q:
What does your
jpb
e11taiJ?c-
com-
mon problems you are dealing with right
now?
A:
Many are still struggling with feeling
homesick and missing their parents, girl-
friends, and friends. But, a lot of students
are having difficulties with finding the
time and place to get their academic work
done.
Q: How is it living in a dorm
with college students?
A: A
year ago,
I
was telling my
sister-in-law about my new job
here and at
first
she was excit-
ed,
up until when
I
told her
I
would be living in a freshmen
dmm. Then, she

asked me
if

to
say that I'm not

Saturday night at the coffeehouse with Carl Rosen
Pianists performance includes interpretations of Billy Joel, Elton John classics

The lights are set to a dim glow
as you enter the mellow atmos-
phere of the coffee house. You sit
down next to your friends with
your biscotti and cappuccino
(topped with whipped cream and
cinnamon, of course.) As you
wipe the cappuccino foam from
your lip, the stage lights come
on. The crowd applauds in antic-
ipation of the live perfonnances
of Elton John, Billy Joel, and
The Beatles.

.
As a student on campus, I check everyone
out as I walk around. I especially enjoy this
practice. on warm spring days when our
enrollment appears to have doubled
overnight. As I look around at the passers-
by,
1
notice that we are not only
a very
alt!active campus, but that there is a popular
trend in our garb. You may or may not have
noticed it, but we all wear the school
uni-
form -
Abercrombie & Fitch.
Besides having an indisputably excellent
fashion program, Marist is extremely fash-
ionable in its own right.
If
you visit most
other college campuses, you will notice that
the students who show up to their early
classes are
sporting
whatever they rolled out
of bed in. Here at Marist, though, we tend to
reserve sweats for the
·
gym
or the dorm
.iiliiil:
room. Even for our
8
a.m. classes, we get up
in the morning with enough time to shower
and get dressed to impress. Abercrombie
may not be everyone's brand of choice, but
chances are you're wearing either Gap,
Express, American Eagle, or some other
popular name brand. This trend becomes
especially evident when you observe
,
Marist's nightlife apparel. Walking down to
meet your cab at Donnelly on Friday and
Saturday nights, there is an 1.J.tlSpoken rule
that you must always look good when in
public.
I'm not belittling name brand clothing,
especially since I own it all. I am encourag-
in~ everyone to stand out. Uniforms were
meant to unify students by making them
look like clones. It's perfectly fine to wear
bra.pd name clothes as we all do, but at least
wear them uniquely by making an
original
fashion statement. Do your own thing and
what is comfortable for you, and you 're sure
to be noticed.
If
sweats are the most com-
fortable apparel in the morning, break the
"rules." Next time you walk to class, look
around. You'll surely notice the "official"
unofficial name-brand school unifonn that
all Marist students are wearing.

Phi Kapp
a
Sigma ranks
second in National Fraternity
carrnen Alu
Phi Kappa Sigma President
More often than not, college
fraternities are known for their
wild parties, excessive drinking
habits and failure to abide by any
school rules, much like the fra-
ternities seen in the familiar
movies,
"Animal
House,"
''PClr'
and,
most
recently,
"Old
School." Each clearly portrays
the negative stereotypes people
assume about fraternities.
What people do not know is
that there is more to fraternity
life than that. Each year our fra-
ternity must submit a Mitchell
Chapter Standards (MCS) appli-
cation. MCS was established to
provide each chapter and the
International Fraternity with a
means of assessing performance
on an annual basis. This is done
to objectively rank the 61 active
chapters and colonies nation-
wide, in order to recognize and
reward the top performing
organizations.
Chapters
are
awarded points for grade point
averages, membership develop-
ment and size, financial manage-
ment, philanthropy and commu-
nity service, overall chapter
management, campus and alum-:-
ni
relations,
as
well as participa-
tion in national Phi Kappa Sigma
events, conferences and other
chapter visits.
For the third year in a row, the
Phi Kappa Sigma at Marist
College did extremely well,
combining a base score and vari-
ous extra-credit awards for a
total of 148, about a 20 percent
improvement on last year's
score. This
.
score was strong
enough for the Marist College
chapter to rank second among
the 61 chapters and colonies
nationwide, earning the presti-
gious Distinguished Chapter
Award to be presented at our
2004 Grand Chapter national
convention in Chicago.
The National Executive
Director Toby Smith has identi-
fied Marist and a select few other
successful chapters as the stan-
dard to which other chapters
must measure up. In a heart-
breaking development, Marist
missed the score of the top-
ranked chapter in the frate~ity
(McDaniel Universfty, form rly
'
Western Maryland)
by
a sin9le
point.
Mr. Delia, grand delta of the
national executive board and
Marist College Phi Kappa Sigma
chapter advisor, has personally
acknowledged the chaj,ter for its
accomplishments.
In
a letter to
Academic Dean Steve Sansola
and President Deruiis Murray,
Delia acknowledged some key
members and their accomplish-
ments.
"Contributing to Delta Iota's
stellar reputation in the fraternity
have been Carmen Alu, for his
outstanding scholarship and
leadership; Michael Constantine,
who served as an undergraduate
representative to the National
Executive Board's standards
·
committee, and who organized
the popular and successful golf
outing fund-raiser; Ryan Hogan,
for organizing the
second
Annual
North Atlantic Regional
Leadership conference at the
Marist Brothers Retreat Center;
and Matthew West, for his sig-
nificant contributions on the
National Executive Board's
insurance methodology commit-
tee," Delia wrote. "The MCS
application is a sizeable docu-
ment of more than 100 pages,
presenting the yearly accom-
plishments of the chapter. Delta
Iota's MCS applications were
superbly a1tthored by Steven

Bending the Core
What do I feel about the core
classes at Marist College? That
question has come up in my
cap-
ping class over the course of this
semester. Our teacher
has
asked
us to respond to the article writ-
ten
in The Circle about the core
requirement.5 and
how we as a
senior class felt about them.
In
my own personal experi-
ences, surviving core classes
have helped me develop into the
person I am today. I have found
that it was worth all the stress
and discomfort. Many people
say that when they get to college
they want to study only subjects
that interest them, and core
classes don't allow them to do
that.
I
agree
that some core
classes are a little pointless and
some students really won't
ben-
efit from them in the
future,
but
I feel that in the long nm it is
bet-
ter
to have a well-rounded edu-
cation
What I am really trying to say
is
that
core classes are needed
and
should
be
required.
However, I feel that they should
take up less of a percentage of
our college education. Since I
am in the psychology special
education department, I had no
extra credits or time to take any
other classes besides my core
classes and ones required for my
major. I would have loved to
take a business class or a class in
art
design, but because of the
strict core requirements, I
was
unable to
do
so. The core should
stay, but there needs to be a little
more flexibility with the amount
of core credits needed
-

Keep core, expand optio
n
s
I agree that the actual purpose
of taldng core classes has
become a mystery to the stu-
dents. It
has
never been made
clear what the specific reasoning
behind taking the classes are.
The only logical answer is to
produce a well-rounded student
I
agree
that some of the core
classes such as philosophy and
origins of modem times were
not the most interesting classes
of my college career, but I was
exposed to an area of study that
I otherwise would not have
taken any classes in. Core class-
es allow students to learn about
topics outside their major, attend
classes with new people who
may have different perspectives,
and
separates
an otherwise mun-
dane day of classes in the same
subject~.
The only improvement I would
make is to allow students more
of an option in choosing their
core classes. Marist can still
require
classes
th
a pafficufar
subject area, but they shouldn't
mandate the specific class. For
example, don't require origins of
modern times or
arts
and values,
but
instead
require any history or
any
art
class.
I
think
it would also be benefi-
cial if it were easier for students
to take 200 level classes in a
major area of study other than
their own. The majority of the
time the only classes a student is
able
to
get into are the introduc-
tory classes to other majors.
However, the 200 level classes
are usually more interesting.
Marist should continue their
core requirement but expand the
options to students so
that
they
are choosing classes that they
enjoy and in areas that will meet
the student's definition of a well-
rounded student, not Marist's.

Core Interferes
w~
studies
I understand that
Marist
is a
liberal
arts
school, so obviously
it's going to have core classes.
But my problem
has
always
been the number of core classes.
For instance, as an accounting
major, I have had to take
·
two lit-
erature
classes, two natural sci-
ence classes and two history
classes. I don't have a problem
with having to take one philoso-
phy class or one
arts
class. My
question is, what am I gaining as
an accounting student by taking
two literature classes instead of
just one?
Do
I really need to
have six credits
worth
of
natural
science?
I'm a senior, and I would've
much rather used some of those
credits to further my education
in business or economics.
In
terms of my career
path,
here are
more useful things I could've
learned by taking more classes

Core Is worthwhlle
I am a business major with a
concentration in marketing
and
a
minor in economics. Like all
other Mari.st students I
have
taken core classes. My core
requirements were completed
first
semester junior year and it
was not witil I attellded
Professor O'Keefe's self man-
agement class
first
semester sen-
ior year that I learned what the
purpose of those classes had
been. While learning this infor-
mation so late in the game did
not anger me, it left me question-
ing why Marist students are not
provided with this infonnation
earlier. I feel this infonnation
wou.1d have enabled me to have
a better understanding of what
was
expected of me in those
c l ~ and throughout my time
at Marist I am only · glad I
decided to sign up for this volun-
tary
course so I have the oppor-
tunity to understand the bigger
picture before graduating from
Marist in the spring.
Finally, I would like to com-
ment on the subtitle to the article
in the paper last week It read,
"Psychology professor says
pro-
gram
has outlived its useful-
ness." After speaking with
Professor O 'Keefe I believe this
statement to be inaccurate. It is
clear that Professor O'Keefe is
very impassioned about the
topic and believes in the values it
offers students. His only
regret
of the program is the lack of sup-
port it receives from his fellow
faculty and staff. Hopefully his
article will spark other fuculty
and
staff
members to give the
core the attention it deserves.

Recording industry
price cuts may be
too little, too late
By
WILLIAM BOLEN
The.Voyager

PENSACOLA, Fla. (U-WIRE) -
Downloading music
from
the
Internet violates copyright laws and deprives
artists of revenue. While that may be true, the
Recording
Industry Association of America has taken
their war against copyright infringement to a perilous
level.
The RIAA announced last week it would pursue law-
suits against 261 music file-sharers. The litigants
include a 71-year-old grandfather, whose grandchildren
used his computer to download songs and a 12-year-old
.
girl whose family lives in a housing project on New
York's Upper West Side.
According to a study by Forrester Research in
Cambridge about two-thirds of American 18 and 19-
year-olds surveyed download music. Although they do
not represent the majority of file-sharers, college stu-
dents have been at the forefront of the trend since the
beginning.
The heavy-handed actions by the RIAA will only
fur-
ther antagonize the fan base it so desperately needs.
RIAA
statistics show there has been a 31 percent drop

in sales of recorded music

since file sharing became
popular more than three
years ago. The music com-
panies need to bring cus-
tomers back not push them

Black, an analyst for Jupiter
Research.

overshadow the
price cuts.
For every Napster the
RIAA shuts down, a Kazaa
is born. As time passes the
- - - - - - - - -
software
to
download music
and other files wrn become more sophisticated and
secure from the eyes of the
RIAA.
The recording industry has to embrace the new tech-
nology. The door has already been opened. By oppos-
ing the download trend rather than accepting it, the
music industry has placed them~elves
in
this osition.
Legal download sites have begun appearing. With the
availability of more songs on these sites, and a con-
sumer-friendly pricing scale, the recording industry can
begin slowly turning the focus towards legitimate
downloading.
Improved access and the fear of prosecu-
tion favor the expansion of these legitimate outlets.
"Labels are making some pretty big concessions,"
Black says. ""One thing (free) file-sharing sites don't
do well is customer service. The paid path was always
the future. Even Napster was going to have to build a
business to support itself."
The cost of compact disks is another factor that helps
spur
on
the downloading movement. Some companies
are taking notice and have made moves to react to the
drop in sales. Universal Music's recent move to reduce
prices, by as much as 30 percent, is an example that
other
companies need to follow. Prices could drop as
low as $9.98 from its present $16 to $18 plateau.
Even
though
the price cuts have received positive
consumer response so far, the rest of the top music
companies (Warner, Sony, BMG and EMI) have yet to
follow suit with similar cuts. They are taking a wait-
and-see attitude to gauge customer feedback. The cuts
may be too little, too late. The convenience of down-
loading only the songs wanted and the ease by which
CDs can be burned overshadow the price cuts.
"We think this will be the most painful year," said
Richard Doherty,
director
of The
Envisioneering
Group, a
technology
assessment
firm
in Seaford, N.Y.
"It's frustrating that it is taking the music industry this
long to listen to the desires of consumers, but it is get-
ting better."
It's about time.

Pundits unfair in calli~g Iraq
occupation 'another
Vietnam'
By
DAVID SILLER$
The Daily Princetonian
(Princeton U.)
PRINCETON, NJ. (U-WIRE) -
Needless to
say, America's occupation of Iraq
has taken a
tum
for the worse.
Our
soldiers continue to be
attacked daily, and many Iraqis have gone from
supporting our cause to joining the chorus of
violent anti-American protests. Next week,
President Bush will likely make concessions to
Presidents Chirac and Schroeder regarding the
sharing of power and division of responsibili-
ties that were llllthinkable even weeks ago.
Donald Rumsfeld
has
all but disappeared
from
·
the public eye since his proclamation that there
is no developing "quagmire" in
Iraq.
Public
support
for America's actions in Iraq
has
taken
a nosedive, and the Bush that r~tly seemed
widefeatable
seems
suddenly vulnerable.
But while the situation in Iraq is obviously
troubling, the repeated references
to
a
"quag-
mire" and oth~r indirect comparisons to
Vietnam are both factually inaccurate and sub-
versive to the nation's interests. Attempts to
compare the situation
in Iraq with one of the
darkest chapters in American history are ulti-
mately politically motivated, and should be
looked at with a more critical eye.
In
order to tmderstand the true
nature
of"quag-
mire"
comments, we must
first
examine the
political environment in which they were made.
Columnists such as Eleanor Clift have been frus-
trated with President Bush's prolonged invulner-
ability to criticism post-9/11, and reporters criti-
cal
of the administration were continually
flus-
tered by Donald Rumsfeld's repeated (while per-
haps not always entirely honest) dodging of their
questions
.
In
short, prior to the Iraq invasion the
Bush administration's war stance had weakened
the position of the liberal punditry and
press.
Since the
Iraq
occupation
has
run into difficulty,
comparisons to Vietnam have been especially
seductive for liberal critics.
Admittedly, there are some similarities
between
the situation in Iraq and our experience in
Vietnam
,
namely an elusive enemy who strikes
at our forces and disappears before we can
destroy him.
However, the numbers tell a com-
pletely different story. At the time of
this
writing,
we have lost 304 American soldiers in
Iraq,
including those killed
by
accidents and disease.
In
Vietnam, there we almost 60,000 American
servicemen killed It
has
been
six months since
the invasion of Iraq began; the United States was
engaged in active combat in Vietnam for almost
a decade.
In Iraq,
American forces destroyed
•
Saddam Hussein's army within a matter of
weeks, and control the majority of the country.
In
Vietnam, American forces almost never crossed
into North Vietnam, and never controlled lluge
portions
of the
country
outside the major cities.
Similarities exist, but not
on the scale to justify a
direct
comparison. Vietnam destroyed the
nation's confidence in itself:
and
bred
a
genera-
tion of jaded and
angry
youth. While it
is
true
that the situation in Iraq is dangerous for the
nation. comments such as these create a defeatist
,
atmosphere which
brings
us closer to failing in
our responsibilities there. A comparison such as
this should
aim
to highlight existing similarities
between two situations and not help make the
claim a
reality.
Unforµmately, some who hear "quagmire"
comments
are
also likely to be
inspired
by
them.
As our enemies learned
from
Vietnam and
Somalia, the American people
are
not very
patient when
faced with American casualties
outside of our immediate national interest.
Comparisons such as
this
not only help erode
public
support for the effort in
Iraq,
they give a
further incentive for
terrorists
to
attack U.S.
interests.
If
small-scale
attacks
on U.S. fon:es are
successful
in
weakening U.S. resolve, they
will
simply increase
until
the United States
with-
draws. That would reinforce a terrible precedent
Attacks on
the
United Nations headquarters in
Iraq
were completely
successful in destroying
the U.N. commitment
to
station aid workers in
the country (despite Kofi Annan's proclamation
to the contrary), and their force in-country
has
been reduced
to
a
skeleton
staff.
This
type
of
behavior only proves
that terrorism ''works"
from the perspective of the terrorist
The
United
States cannot fall to the same
type
of
pressure,
because it would legitimate tem>rist attacks as a
successful cotmter
to
any U.S.
action.
Instead of trying to invoke the
painful
memo-
ries of a time long passed
to
hurt the adminis-
tration, the
pundits should be saying what the
Bush administration should do
to
prevent Iraq
from
further resembling Vietnam. We may have
invaded
Iraq
for all the wrong
reasons.
but
we
must stay for all the right ones. The entire
world, including its terrorists,
is
watching
our
actions in Iraq very closely.
If
we can overcome
our early mistakes in Iraq and help create a sta-
ble and prosperous
nation,
it
will
do much
towards restoring our international legitimacy
and dampening anti-American sentiment world-
wide.
If
we bend
to
the
pressure and fail in our
responsibilities, it
will
show
that America
will
bow
to
terrorists, and will en\bolden our ene-
mies worldwide. While we may not be doing
everything right, it's
unfair
to
declare Iraq
is
another Vietnam

Act walks a fine
line with fourth
amendment rights
By
ANDREW LAWSON
Kansas State
Collegian
(Kansas
State

·
MANHATTAN, Kan. (U-WIRE) -
If
Americans
examine any sections
in the PATRIOT Act, they need to
look at these four. Make
no
mistake, there are many
other
controversial sections in this law, but these exem-
plify what could go wrong if -
or when -
the govern-
ment
abuses
its new
powers.
Section 206:
Roving
surveillance authority
The government used to tap specific phones or com-
puters,
and
they had to
secure a
warrant detailing that
target to do so.
·
Of course,
PATRIOT
changed everything with the
deployment
of roving wiretaps.
Obviously, this removes the primary
'
protection
against wiretaps that used to be present: The ability of a
judge to
determine
whether a certain device should be
tapped.
What makes this even scarier is that this was one of
two provisions the Justice Department omitted when
listing
PATRIOT
provisions that had helped catch
·
and
prosecute
terrorists. So who are they going after with
this new tool?
Section 213: Authority f o r - - - - - - - - -
delaying
notice of the ex!cu-
tion of a warrant
Police officers used to fol-
low a policy of "knock-and-
announce," which was a
moniker for their practice of
notifying
you that you were
going
to
be searched.
In
1978, the Foreign
Intelligence
Surveillance
Act made
an
exception:
Notification
of the warrant
could be
delayed
in the
case
of suspected foreign spies,
.
to
aid authorities by not warn-
ing
the
target so they could
flee.
Everyone knows
about this one. You
know, It's the part
that says the
government can
check your llbrary
records to see If
you've checked out
11
Bombs for
Dummies" lately.
---------
Under PATRIOT, this delay no longer is limited
.
Papa
Ashcroft can do it to anybody. Sure, he still has to get court
.?PJ)l'OVal, and
90 days is essentially the maximum allow-
able delay, but there's nothing to stop a court
from
renew-
ing the delay.
If
the Justice Department plays its cards right and really
finesses judges, knock-and-announce
is
probably a relic of
the
past. Worse, this particular section will not sunset in
2005.
Section 215: Access to records and other items
Everyone knows about this one. You know, it's the part
that says the government can check your library records to
see if you've checked out ''Bombs for Dummies" lately.
Back in the good ol' days, it
required
a warrant and prob-
able cause to do that kind of search, but no longer.
New and improved databases make it even easier for
Uncle Sam
to
browse through a comprehensive report of
your personal
records,
just in case you're a terrorist. The
people that supply those records -
librarians, video rental
clerks, priests and more -
can't tell you you're being
"investigated."
Slate Magazine examined
this
section - among others -
and there's some good news for me. According to Slate
edi-
tors Dahlia
Lithwick
and Julia Turner, ''That means you
can't have your records searched solely because you wrote
an
article
criticizing the Patriot Act."
Whew.
Section 218: Foreign intelligence infonnation
This one really sums of the problems of all the previous
sections.
Congress' real aim in passing the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillaqce Act was to loosen the FBI's hands when
dealing with suspected foreign agents.
They did so
by
al
l
owing some fudging of the Fourth
Amendment, which
requires probable cause for investiga-
tions. At the time, all the probable cause the FBI really
needed was that such-and-such a diplomat was Russian,
Chinese, Iranian, whatever.
In
our
brave new Patriotic world, that little part about for-
eign doesn't really apply anymore. FISA
is
being used
against
American citi7.ens and Ashcroft
has
broken the
"deal"
his
predecessors sealed with Congress in 1978.
What do these provisions all have in common?
They allow the federal government to breach our First
and Fourth Amendment rights in new and unprecedent-
ed ways.
They do not require said government to tell us we are
suspected "terrorists" until the investigation is well
underway; indeed, maybe not until we are arrested and
brought to trial.
And, with the exception of Section 213, which at least
needs to be dramatically curtailed, they will all sunset in
2005. By that time, the American people need
to
take a
close
look
at these laws and decide
if
we want them to
remain.
I suggest we let them die away and forget the
period in
our history where we traded fear for a false sense of secu-
rity and sacrifice of civil liberties .

Pollo's 17 kills and 32 team
assists rattled the McCann
Center as the Hofstra Pride
blanked the Red Foxes in three
games Tuesday.
In
game one, Hofstra slid past
the Foxes 30-23. Early on, the
Foxes' Sally Hanson had two key
kills, and Hanson brought Marist
to an early 3-l lead.
However, Hofstra's communi-
cation on the floor surmounted
the quickness of the Foxes
.
With
their size and ability, the Pride
attacked the Foxes with ruthless
aggression. Hofstra had 38 team
assists and 20
•
kills, due to their
excellent and intense ball move-
ment.
In game two, Hofstra con-
trolled the entire tempo of the
game. The Pride went on a 4-0
scoring drive where Hofstra's
Tessa Sphar had one kill to bring
the Pride their fourth point of the
game.
The Foxes, who trailed by nine
points during two segments of
the game, initiated key volleys
and started to brew a comeback.
Nevertheless, Hofstra's compq-
sure and unending effort brought
them a commanding control with
a win in game two.
Game two concluded with
Hofstra breezing by Marist 30-
20. Hofstra tallied six more kills
than Marist, a key stat to a cru-
cial game two.
In game three, Marist's
momentum and hunger started to
resurface.
Marist's Stefanie Miksch had a
key kill to bring Marist within
one of the Pride
.
After tying the
game at three, Hofstra double-
blocked Marist's attack and
reclaimed the lead at 4-3.
Marist's eleven errors diluted
some key points in the
.
game, as
they slowly saw their winning
chances diminish
.
Hofstra's textbook trio, known
as the bump-set-kill, weakened
Marist's pride.
At 29-24, Marist had full pos-
session of the ball and attempted
to make a comeback on eight
unanswered points.
Nevertheless, Marist's final kill
sailed out of bounds, and Hofstra
completed its sweep by the score
of 30-24.
The Foxes will travel to the
University
of Pennsylvania
Tournament this weekend. The
Marist Red Foxes (6-10) will
oppose Robert Morris in their
opening game.

Riullano's run was the last
play of a 97-yard drive by the
Foxes, with a key 44-yard catch
by Guy Smith and an 11-yard
catch by Tim Traynor. James
Luft also ran for 15 yards on that
drive, one of many first downs
by the Foxes that night.
The Foxes defense had key
·
plays that slowed the Saints'
momentum.
In the first quarter,
John
Healy
recovered a fumble and the
Marist special teams blocked one
of many Siena punt attempts
.
Pete Crossett's interception, as
well as Payton Rogers' 10-yard
sack, inhibited Siena's offense
for the rest of the game. Marist
intercepted the ball three times
during th
_
e game, but one inter-
ception was called back due to a
roughing the passer penalty.
Siena fumbled the ball six times
during the game, only recovering
na\f oftnem.
The Foxes had 352 total yards
while holding Siena to only 183
total yards
.
All ofMarist's scores
came on the run, even though 76
percent of the total yards came
through the air
.
For the Foxes (2-1), this victory
sends a message throughout the
conference that Marist is a con-
tender. The Foxes' next game will
be

Husker Du's classic
Zen Arcade revisted
By
BRANDON SMITH
Staff Writer
Husker
Du's classic
19-84
release
Zen Arcade
was more
than an artistic breakthrough.
It
broke down
many
of the
rules
·of what
it
meant to
be
punk.
Zen Arcade is often
ref
erred to as .the White
Album
of punk, and for many
justifiable
reasons.
For
starters, it was the first punk
rock double album,
a
notion
previously thought of
in
the
punk
community as
gratu-
itous.
Zen
Arcade also marked
punk's first concept
album.
Though the concept is not
as
direct as The
Who's
Tommy
or
The
Beatles
Sgt.
Pepper,
it is
still easily
recognizable:
the
pains
of
growing
up.
Songs
such as
••something
I Learned
Today"
and "Broken Home,
Broken Heart" are
per:(ect
vignettes of what
it
is like
growing
up
in
a shattered
home.
Zen
Arcade also
proved that it was possible
to
be hardcore
and still employ
pop-rock
song structures.
Songs such as "Pink Turns
to
Blue"
and "Somewhere"
are
built on simple verse-chorus-
verse
foundations and don't
venture into any new territory,
structurally speaking.
Husker
Du's songwriting
dichotomy
is
often
compared
to that
of
John Lennon and
Paul McCartney,
in
that
it's
easy
to tell who wrote what.
The poppier sides of
Zen
Arcade
come
courtesy of
drummer
Grant Hart's songs,
while the
punk
aggression
comes
from
guitarist Bob
Mould.
The album retains its
punk
credentials
by
sticking closely
top~ aesthetics. The album
was recorded and mixed in a
total
of
just over
80 hours.
This bare-bones
approach
did
leave
some
minor
flaws
in the
recording, but affords a cer-
tain honesty
in
the music that
no
mixing
console could ever
replicate.
On
many
of
the
songs, the instruments sound
tinny
and
underdeveloped,
and they tend to drag jn spots.
These quirks, combined with
Bob Mould's obsession with
fuzz, make it difficult to
pick
out
the melodies
on
certain
tracks.
However,
for
the dedi-
cated listener, this poses no
problem
at all, and
makes the
rewards of the album that
much
sweeter.
If
there
is one
track
that
j
us-
tifies this album's place
among
punk
rock's
best iind
brightest,
its the
final
track
":Reoccurring
Dreams," The
song is a
13-minute instru-
mental
adventure
reminiscent
of fellow fuzz-merchants
Sonic Youth. For 13
minutes,
the band lays a psychedelic,
noise rock instrumental over
various tape effects, making
for a truly unique blend of
acid rock, vintage punk, and
experimental
jazz.
Before
"Reoccurring Dreams,"
it was
considered taboo
for
punks
to
play
instrumentals, let alone
13-minute psychedelic
romps
like
this
one.
Husker Du continued to per:-
fect their style
with
their fol-
low up,
New Day Rising, and
then focus
~n a
more
pop-ori-
ented style on
Flip Your Wig.
Without Husker Du there
would have been no
Pixies,
no
Superchunk, and
no
Nirvana.
The entire alternative genera-
tion owes a great debt
to
Husker Du, whether they
acknowledge
it
or not.
MCCTA comedy to be
an exercise in absurdism
By
DAN
CALANDRO
Staff Writer
For
its
fall comedy,
Marist
College Council
on Theater Arts
will present
.
the
Tony
award win-
ning
play
Ros~ncrantz
and
Guildenstem Are Dead
by Tom
Stoppard.
The play belongs to
a
genre
of the theater
called
Theater
of
the Absurd.
Si~ply
put,
this
is
not your typical
col-
lege
production.
Absurdist
Theater has its roots in the philo-
sophical
belief
of existentialism.
,
The philosophy of
existentialism
stresses
the idea that humans
desire to make rational decisions
in
an
irrational
universe.
Absurdist Theater meshes this
belief with the modern idea of
drama
and minimalist
set
pieces,
eccentric characters,
dark humor,
and
events
you would not nor-
mally
encounter
in
everyday
life.
The genre
of
Absurd
Theater
was popular from the 1930s until
about the 1970s. Playwrights,
such as
Si,Ulluel Beckett, offer a
dark, seemingly
uncaring,
view
of
the human condition. The
characters are often provided
with little or no information
and
must find their own way
through
the play. Visually and
aurally
absurdist plays are
a
metaphor
for man's search
for
answers.
Dialogue throughout plays in
this
genre is
often quick,
mini-
malist and abstract. The dramatic
elements
of these
plays
appear in
llil
illogical order. Plots wander
just
as
the actors move
about
the
stage.
Through
the
eyes
of
Rosencrantz and
Guildenst'ern,
the tal11 of Hamlet is
given
a new
life. Stoppard's play
relies
and
feeds on the plot of Hamlet to
provide meaning. The
fates'
of
Rosencrantz and
Guildenstem
are tied with Shakespeare's
play.
Despite this the two share their
dark humor and wit throughout
the play
even
when
faced
with
the most dire of
situations
.
Their
absurd
conversations and
verbal
games
are inwmingled with
var-
ious slapstick comedic acts.
Underneath
thQugh
,
Rosencrantz
and Guildenstem are real people
with feelings and desires. The
comedy
is
interspersed with
tragedy to
give
the
play a
more
realistic and
emotional
feel. The
play's overall
feel is
that of
a
dark humored
confusion
in
which two young
men are
searching
for their
purpose.
The
production
will
be
.
a
very
unique
experience for
all
of
those
involved. The audience
will
be
treated
to
a
wide range of
emotions
from
revenge
to come-
dy to despair.
Costumes, sets,
and
props
should
prove to be
quite interesting, adding a
great
amount
of
atmosphere
to
Denmark and
Elsinore.
If
noth-
ing
else,

should
prove to be

Metallica
are reborn
By
DAN CALANDRO
Staff Writer
Metall~ca -
St. Anger
St. Anger was probably
Metallica's most anticipated new
album since I 996's
Load. The
recent events in Metallica's 20
plus year
career:
Napster, the
departure of long-time bassist
Jason Newsted, and singer/gui-
tarist James Hetfield's stint in
rehab are just some of the issues
addressed in
St. Ang~r. For most
of the 1990's, Metallica continu-
ally reinvented heavy metal.
Now, in 2003, Metallica have
reformulated themselves and
their genre once again
Rumors were rampant during
the summer that the album
would have " ..
,And Justice for
Al/
like time changes." Another
was that the album would sound
similar to
Master of Puppets. St.
Anger does not emul~te any of
these albums. It is completely
unlike any other Metallica
album, and that's one of its most
admirable qualities.

the overall
length

Metallic a is still capable of writ-
.
ing epic tracks.
"Some
Kind of
Monster" and "¼!visible Kid"
stand out as some of the excel-
lent longer cuts. While there are
no solos to be found anywhere
on the CD, Kirk Hammett mar-
shal a few memorable moments,
most notably Hammett's licks on
"Frantic" and
''Sweet
Amber."
Other than that, he appears to be
almost absent from
the
CD.
The opening track, "Frantic,"
is hard, loud, and fast proving
that Metallica still has their
thrash metal roots. The blister-
ing riff is followed by a mellow,
clean guitar giving the track
some harmony and melody.
"Frantic" is the best overall song
on the entire album with excel-

there
is a great deal more
double-bassing to be heard
throughout
St
,
Anger than on
recent Metallica projects. The
CD also has the "recorded in a
garage feel" in so much that the
band plays off of each other
instead of the mixing board.
The lyrics
too
have caused
somewhat of an uproar among
critics and fans. While the lyrics
are not the most introspective
nor the deepest, Bob Dylan and
Tom Petty ~ave that covered,
they are still decent. Some of
the lyrics, to be fair, do seem to
be
poorly
conceived.
Specifically,
"Purify"
is
arguably the worst track on the
album. The lyrics, however, do
not detract from the overall
song. Many of the
lyrics actual-
ly beg to be screamed back at the
band during a live gig, "My
lifestyle determines my death
style,"
from
"Frantic!"
for exam-
ple.

Metallica were also nice

include
some bonus
material. A

with the

contains

favorites, "Fade

to lesser
known,

members, f ~
of the Beulah crew divorced or
ended serious relationships this
year, and you have a recipe for
what would,
in
anyone else's
hands, be
a
doldrum of a fourth
album.
Though their newest release
exhibits
tragic undertones,
Yoko,
commendably, does anything but
wallow
in
self-pity. Rather, any
sense
of
anguish is distilled
in
Beulah's new lyrical poise and
wizened indie-rock
form,
pro-
viding a smooth transition from
Heartstrings and Coast's freckle-
faced idealism
to
a more
sea-
soned, though never cynical,
dexterity.
The album opens with
a
sprin-
kling of light piano over what
could
easily be
mistaken for the
rumble of auto-ignition. And
thus, it begins:
a
musical venture
of wrought iron strength, well-
masked
by

melodies and
harmonic innocence. The weight
of the lyrics
doesn't
pull the
tunes
down

''Don't Forget to Breathe,"
which
exhales

while revisiting the up-,tempo,
drum-pulsed tunes
of
the 60's.
But the album isn't comprised
solely of retro-pop, nor does it
exhaust its stylistic welcome.
"My Side
of
the City"
ups
the
ante (and the adrenaline) through
a raspy, caffeinated ode to
Urbania,
and very nearly a
throwback to their punk days. It
seems Beulah wants
to
dabble in
every genre this time around:
"Fooled Around With The
Wrong Guy" brings them one
cowboy boot away from the alt-
country border, and

Yoko
is
both a departure and a
reunion of past successes,
exploring new territory
'
while
celebrating the best of Beulah's
past three albums. Each song is
crafted
with
unique honesty and
speaks to the same kind of
growth
that the band
itself
has
experienced. The result?
A

Heavier
Things, Mayer takes' on
a
highly
evolved new sound and gives
fans a taste of something differ•
ent.
A big step
from
the pop flavor
given to fans in
...
Squares,
Heavier Things has
a
bluesier,
ja.izjer
feel
than his previous
work.
It
seems as though this
album only has a couple of pos-
sible singles, whece as
...
Squares
contained almost all radio-
friendly tunes.
At first listen, Mayer sounds
like he should
be
playing in an
underground jazz club rather
than on a Top 40 radio station
.
However,
"New
Deep,"
"Clarity/ and
"Split
Screen
Sadness" have definite possibili-
ties
of
being hit
singles:
Although different in
sound,
the lyrics are as creative and
clever as the last album. He
proudly states in
'
'Bigger than
My Body" that:
"I'll
gladly go
down in
a flame
If
a flame's
what it takes to remember
/
my
name."
"Come Back to Bed"
begs forgiveness as Mayer
pleads: "You can be mad in the
morning I'll take back what I
said.
Just don't leave me alone
here It's cold, baby/ Come back
to bed."
Besides the actual music, the
CD's extras are impressive

Arts f
es
ti val showcases Hudson Valley talent
By
MELISSA DAVIS
Staff Writer
Being Marist College students,
not many of us venture out into
the community of Poughkeepsie
that nestles us snugly in its arms.
On
Saturday, Sept.
21 at
Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie, a
mere eight minute drive from
campus, the eighth annual
Hudson River Arts Festival was
held.
Poughkeepsie's annual free
fall festival took place on the
riverfront where Main Street
meets the Hudson River, which
served as a showcase for the
abundant talent, culture, and
community-oriented works by
local artists and mingling large
sponsors with everyday crafts
people and local performers.
Walking through the maze of
booths and food stands, there
was much to see and learn, with
many people to talk to and hear
stories from.
Charles R. Smith Jr., a poet,
children's book writer, and local
teacher at the. Barrett Art Center,
performed some of his own
poetry at the "Five Minute
Marvels" tent. He recently
released a new book titled "I Am
America." "[The book] brings
with it a lot of pride to the com-
munity; most of the kids pic-
tured in
"I
Am
America" are
local," he said
.
There were also photogra-
phers, but one of the most strik-
ing was Max Sebron. Not only
professional, his photos showed
his enthusiasm through a cam-
era's lens.
Surprisingly, Sebron is only 16
and attends Roosevelt High
School.
·
·
Sebron said that his motiva-
tions run deep.
"I started taking pictures so I
don't always have to
try
and
remember -
everything is right
there for me to see and look
back on," he said.
youth can learn to interact with
media arts, both as creators and
critical viewers. For the festival,
the organization had a tent
where children could create their
own 30-second animation clips.
Another organization was the
Youth Resource Development
Corporation, or the YRDC. A
subgroup
of
the
larger
Americorps program, YRDC
strives to recruit people involved
in Environmental, Education,
Agriculture,
Computer
Technology, and Social Service
Fields
.
They also offer benefits
to students just out of college, in
the form of $4,000 educational
awards to those who work for
them. Their mission and purpose
is to expand the possibilities of
young adults by providing
opportunities for learning and
growth.
The Barrett Art Center spon-
sored a Paint Out, which wel-
comed artists from throughout
the region to come to the festi-
val and paint landscapes of the
surrounding terrain. The Center
provided easels, paper, paint
and brushes, to allow festival-
goers to
try
their hand at creat-
ing their own works of art. A
mix of several professional
artists and local children paint-
ed alongside each other and
produced beauiifut artwork.
The Center provides classes for
people interested in different
aspects and representations of
art including drawing, sculpture
and others.
The festival was a great experi-
ence to attend and showed the
wealth of support that the com-
munity has to offer.
It illustrated
how people use art as an outlet
to express their own culture and
lifestyle
,
which is sometimes all
they have to utilize.
