Docks, trail among plans
for Longview Park site
By
FLORA LUI
Staff
Writer
Even though many people are
familiar with Marist College's
evergreen campus
,
they are not
·
necessarily acquainted with
Longview Park.
The site, which is co-owned by
both the coliege and the Town
and City of Poughkeepsie, is
located along the Hudson River.
Since the beginning of last fall,
construction was
·
launched to
transform the waterfront project
into
what
the
Executive
Assistant to the President of
Marist College, Susan Brown
calls, "a unique and scenic recre
-
ational park that can be enjoyed
by both the Marist community
a
n
d
residents of the surrounding
area."
The development, situated west
of the railroad tracks, consists of
six acres
-
3.5 of which are
owned
by Marist. This $3.5
mil-
lion creation will provide
additional access to the Hudson
River for recreational activities
such as fishing and boating.
Greenway and Hudson River
Water Trails will also be con
-
structed, along with the replace-
ment of the bulkhead and
restoration of the docks. This
will provide improved facilities
to the Marist championship crew
and rowing teams. The plan will
include the addition of a new
sanitary pump station to the
existing subsurface septic field
which will establish a
connec-
tion to·the municipal sewer sys-
tem.
Due to the legal
requirements
of grants funded by the
state
and
federal governments, the first
phase did not
launch
until the fall
of 2002.
Brown
commented that
after several years of
finalizing
the funding contracts, it eventu-
ally went underway with
Marist's
successful
fundraising,
and sup-
port from Governor George
Pataki and the State of
New
York. Additional financial sup-
ports were brought in by the
Department of E~vironment
Cons~rvation, Department of
State, Hudson Valley Greenway,
Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation, and the
Governor's Discretionary Fund.
Congresswoman Sue Kelly also
played a key role by securing
federal funds for the shoreline
restoration
.
Brown indicated that from
the
external fund.raising, the project
gained nearly $2.5 million with
Marist's aid and $1 million in
cash
and
services toward work
on the development.
The
site has
played a key role
for the rowing program for a
number of
institutions
in the
past.
"It was
once home to
Intercollegiate
Rowing
Association's nationally renowned
'Poughkeepsie
Regatta'
the
nation's,top
collegiate
crew
teams
to
the
Hudson River from
1895-
1949,"
Brown
said
Many prestigious
institutions
such
as
Columbia,
Pennsylvania,
California, Syracuse and Navy
built
boathouses
along the river.
The
Cornell
Boathouse,
presently
owned by Marist, is
the
only
one
left
to represent the stardom of the
Hudson
River.
As project
director,
Brown
has
played an essential role since the
beginning of development. Her
responsibilities include the devel-
opment of the project
proposal
and raising funds from
the
federal,
state, and county boards as well as
private institution grants. In addi-
tion, she directs
the design
crew,
manages the regulatory permits
process and coordinates
the
gov-
ernment relations with both elect
-
ed
officials
and
local
community
partners.

Marist College.
"As a member of

Murray's] senior management
team, I provide the President with
advice, analysis, and assistance in
a wide range of operating
matters," Brown said
.
She also participates in research
,
writes, and reviews numerous
documents for the President.
Brown hopes
•
the creation of
Longview Park will be an addition-
al asset to the Marist community
and an opportunity for others to
explore nature.
"It will be a great place to relax in
the sun and to enjoy the beauty of
our historic Hudson River," Brown
said
Director of the Marist Rowing
Program, Tom Sanford is excited
about the proj
ect,
especially the
replacement of the bulkhead and
docks, whi
c
h are used for
both
the
crew and rowing teams. He feels
that this
will
not only benefit the
athletic department, but
will
also
leave
a positive long-tenn effect.
"More people will be attracted to
the waterfront to enjoy the
unbe-
lievable resource running
through
our back yard," Stanford said.
Justin Butwell, Director of
Physical Plant at Marist supervis-
es all of the construction involved
in the project, as well as schedul-
ing the work of the engineers,
contractors, and those who need
access to the site.
Brown said the project is a great
example of a college and a com-
munity working together to create
and provide somethin
g
which
both parties can benefit.
"Longview Park will be a dis-
tinctive new addition to what
President Murray has called a
unique
American
campus,"
Brown said.

Career services shares secrets
to getting hired post-college
By
CASSI MATOS
News Editor
Students no longer have to wait until they
are applying for a job to experience what a
real interview is like.
In
years past, students have been welcome
to schedule a practice interview session with
f:areer Services staff. This yeaf, in a joint ven-
ture with E!!terpris€?,. the car rental service,
students will now have the option to interview
with a professional recruiter.
Although the Center for Career Services
occasionally brings in outsiders, an Enterprise
recruiter will now consistently come the last
Friday of every month. The program began
this past Friday, Sept. 26 with the kic~-off of
the first session.
According to Deidre Sepp, director of career
services, students seem to like it when real
world employee seekers visit Marist; she
claims the overall reaction has been positive
so far.
"We've had a great student response," said
Sepp. "We are already booked throughout
October and November."
For the first session, all iix hour-long slots
made available were booked.
Due to the
amount of interest shown, career
services
staff are hoping Enterprise will
be able to
send an additional recruiter for future ses-
sions. If this happens, an additional six slots
will be open for future dates.
Each hour-long session consists of a half
hour interview, followed by a twenty minute
critique. The recruiter and an assistant review
the student's resume and responses, as well as
attire.
Enterprise has been known to hire many
Marist graduates since they have many alum-
ni among their ranks. As a result, recruiters
pay close attention
·
to the p~act!ce. intervie-
wees. Students are encouraged to take the
appo-hrtme:ut setiously and make the
·
best of
the experience being provided. Students
should come with their
resumes,
and dressed
as though they were attending a real inter-
view. Students will also be offered practical
pointers about what and what not to do during
an interview, and be shown how to best sell
themselves.
Sepp said she is very
impressed
with the stu-
dent response so far and has gotten the same
reaction from other staff and
·
the recruiter.
She thinks students will benefit from this real
world exposure.
"It is obvious Marist students have an
appetite for this," she said.
In
the future, Career Services is thinking
about
bringing
in other companies to do the
same thing.
Sepp added that while these mock inter-
views are a great opportunity to practice one's
professionalism, students never know when a
recruiter will really be taking notes and look-
ing at you as a future prospect.
Colleges frown on music file-swapping

Despite
efforts

persists on

In recent years, many universities have
worked with the recording industry to
combat

But the Recording Industry Association of

such efforts
haven't

The group
has filed

said
Debbie
Schroeder, assistant vice chancellor for
infor-
mation technology at the University of
Nebraska at Kearney.
"We don't want to spend our money so that
students and people across the world can share
files."
Universities also don't want illegal activity
on
campus,
even though the
Digital
Millennium
Copyright Act of
1998
limits
universities' liability.
To
teach
students
about
copyright
rules,
Nebraska and Iowa universities have used
fliers, posters or
computer

When the RIAA notifies

student
and either
shut down the

THE CIRCLE
Sheik revs Lady
Foxes'
emotions at concert
By CHRISTINA
GUZZO
Staff Writer
Duncan Sheik and his band
rocked out the Nelly Goletti
Theater in a free show present-
ed
by
the
Student
Programming
Council
Saturday, Sept. 27.
Performing for a mostly full
house,
the band engaged the
audience
with
informal
comedic banter and songs col-
lege kids could relate to, mak-
ing the
night
more enjoyable.
Huge fans, iricluding some
scantily clad middle-a;ged
women, appreciated the inti-
mate setting and even felt free
to shout out song selections.
Steven Black, everyone's
favorite Gartland RA and gui-
tar virtuoso opened the show
with a few impressive original
songs. Singing solo, he held
his own with an amped
acoustic and some heartfelt
lyrics
.
Girls held their breath and
their
digital
cameras
as
Duncan took the stage, oozing
boyish charm in a vintage
denim
jacket and shaggy hair-
cut. .

stood poised behind him
,
along with a band that looked
like a bunch of misplaced
forty-somethings.
Through the fog of estrogen
,
Sheik's voice rang clear and
smooth as glass. His stage
presence was far from com-
manding, but his boyish and
timid demeanor made
·
him
irresistible. The band played
as though they were not on
stage in a rinky-dink college
theater (sorry Nelly G.), but
for a much larger audience.
Sheik captivated the almost
90%
female crowd with love
·
songs like
.
"For You" and
"Home" which, to me, sound-
ed like a giant cliche set to
music. Still, the audience ate it
up, and begged for more.
Random shouts of "I love
you!" could be heard echoing
throughout the theater.
When he wasn't wooing the
ladies of Marist, Sheik was
flubbing his lines -
big time.
Luckily, die-hard fans like
Black were helpful enough to
shout them from the front row.
Sheik sheepishly admitted for-
getting the lyrics several times
throughout the night. However
it did not have a negative
effect on the show; it made it
seem more relaxed and fun.
Sheik's bes.t known
hit,
"Barely Breathing" received
mixed vibes from the crowd.
People like me were excited
by its familiarity, but die hard
fans in the front rows weren't
afraid to groan and roll their
eyes. The song was placed late
in th~
§~t
1
as was their
new
radio single, "I'tn on a High."
Sheik's brand of music fit in
at Mari st like Abercrom hie
and Lexuses. Even if you

the encore, rows of absent-

their seats and headed for the
door. Either they didn't realize
that concerts usually include
a~ encore or they were running
late for "beat the clock night"
at McCoy's. In any case, they
missed a gr~at closer of "Mr.

and a
cover of
Radiohead's "Fake Plastic

even with a one-hit wonder, it
couldn't get much better than
this. People who weren't even
familiar with any of his music,
like junior education major
Dana Yodice, sat fixated on
Sheik and his music
.
'Tm really glad I took the
opportunity and went to the
show," Yodice said after the
concert. "The music was really

To be honest,
I wasn'~ a huge
fan of Duncan Sheik either
before going to Jhe show. By
the end, though,
I recognized
four of the songs they played;
one being a dyn~mic cover of
Oasis's "Wonderwall."
However, after the set was
through,
I couldn't help but
agree with the girls sitting
behind me who kept saying,
"Oli, he's soooo cute!"

Walk for Recovery on Sept. 24 in Poughkeepsie.
Candlelight Walk
glimmers with hope
By
MELISSA DAVIS
Staff
Writer
Fire flickered from Main Street to the Hudson River as
people lit candles in support of overcoming substance abuse at the
first ever Candlelight Walk for Recovery in Poughkeepsie on
Wednesday, Sept. 24.
The calmness of the walk preceded the tales bursting to be told.
Participants hope to let others know about the pain of
addiction an the joy of recovery.
The event was sponsored by Dutchess County Council on
Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency, Inc. (DCCACD). It was
planned in honor of September being national recovery month. It
is the first of its kind for this area, but there are hopes
_
to have it
become and annual event.
Judith James, executive of DCCACD said recovery should be
recognized more often.
"We hear so many negative-things all the time, but we don't cel-
ebrate recovery as we should," said James.
The audience was comprised of people from every race, age, and
gender. Some attended because they were substance abusers while
others attended in support.
Carole Shiber, attendee of the event, said the walk served as a
positive reinforcement.
"It's great that there is something like this where people recov-
ering and people who support them can come together and bear the
candle, a light for hope," said Shiber.
The stories shared were truly frightening, but at the same time
enlightening for a better tomorrow. The people spoke about their
highs and lows and what it truly means to be independent, not
dependent on substances that range from alcohol, to cocaine, to
marijuana
.
A main theme was how addiction didn't ruin their life,
but became their life. Most spoke about how they felt once they
recovered fully and what it meant to get their lives back and
together
.
"The true joy of recovery is the fact that I am here, and alive,"
said Mel,* a person who had recovered from long years of addic-
tion.

Why does gasoline cost so much?
The intrepid researcher investigates databases
By
CHARYL C. POLLARD
&
VERNE W. NEWTON
Circle Contributors
You are a major or minor in
Business
Administration
or
Political Science. You seethe as
·
you
pump
gas into your car. You
wonder: is there a connectioH
between high gas prices and the
war in Iraq? To channel this
anger into something
positive
you decide to
do
a paper
on
how
U.S. Foreign Policy affects
the
price of Oil.
You go to the drop down menu
for "Research" at the Library's
Home Page and click
on
the A-Z
listings. The first database
is
ABI / Inform Global. You
search
on "United States Foreign
Policy" AND "oil."
You get 325 articles, which
seems like a lot. Many,,,though,
are
from
newspapers. While
you great database that is so undis-
do
want
to see what the Wall
covered you would think it is
Street
Journal
and
other financial
hidden with Saddam's WMD
organs are
writing, your
profes-
sor
is
putting
emphasis
on
schol-
arly journals. As
good fortune
would
have
it, just
above the
dis-
play
of
article titles
is
an
icon
with Scholarly
Journals.
Clicking
on it
sorts
out
31
such
articles
from the
collection of
325.
The first is
on Venezuela
and you
skip
that.
Because
you
are
in
a
hurry,
you scroll down
until
you find a
full text article
with a
title
that sounds
promising
such as
a Brookings's Institute
study, "The
Persian
Gulf: Under-
standing the American
Oil
Strategy"
and
"The
Battle for
Energy
Dominance"
in
the
March 2002 Foreign
Affairs.
However,
you also
want some-
thing written
since
the
invasion
of
Iraq.
Now
you
go to CIAO, a
(weapons of mass destruction,
but you knew that didn't you?).
Don't be put off by the very
clumsily designed home page.
Go to the search box on the right,
click on all the boxes except
"books" and enter "policy" AND
"oil." Hold your breath. And ...
and ... Hallelujah, praise the data
bases! Here are current, full text
articles published by some of the
best global
think
tanks.
"Iraq's
.
Oil Tomorrow" dated
,April
2003
published
by
Britain's
Royal
Institute
of
International Affairs,
-
and anoth-
er titled, "Oil Price Crisis:
Implications for Gulf Producers."
You now have a critical mass of
top-flight scholarly articles .
.
You
can supplement your paper with
other sources $UCh as the news-
paper articles that came up in
your
original search,
including
dozens from the
Wall
Street
Journal.
Here's the
beauty of what
you've accomplished.
The
next
time you
pull up to the gas sta-
tion,
the prices may not be lower.
But as
you
fill up you can
impress
the person
in
the car next
t9
you
by
giving them
the first
real scholarly
explanation they
have
probably ever heard on why
prices are so high.

Alleviating poverty woes
By
HAYDEN BATES
Circle Contributor
Growing
up in an affluent
Connecticut suburb, I
always
considered
poverty to
be
an
"outside"
demon.
In
fact, its existence was known to me only through secondhand
sources. Poverty was a beast which lacked
tangibility
in my life;
indeed, it was almost of mythical stature. The environment in which
my youth took place did not afford me the opportunity to view the
miseries of
our
nation's downtrodden ghettos.
Thus, my only
recourses were to read books dealing with 'poverty and to listen to
lectures
on the matter from various guilt-tripped white liberal sorts.
As it is, one can only learn so much from dreary texts and stuffy
teachers.
It was not until last semester when I commenced my volunteer work
at the Beulah Baptist Church's soup kitchen that my eyes were
opened. Over the course of those months, I truly came to realize the
dreadful conditions in which many lower class Americans exist.
Many of the people whom I met at Beulah vainly struggle to attain
the very things which I, in my more naive years, took for granted:
food, housing and education. There has been plenty written about
poverty as a problem, and I do not wish to mull over the same old
"sob stories." Instead, I feel compelled by my experiences at the
soup kitchen to examine methods by which to alleviate this problem.
Structuring the Fight
As a political conservative, I have always been in favor of a small-
er government:
·
one which regulates the lives of its citizens to a minor
degree.
President George W.
Bush's faith-based initiatives
Rather than the
•
combine the oft-disparate ele-
ments of small government and
the war on poverty more comfort-
ably
than proposals past.
The
Bush administration plan aims to
use federal housing money in
order to build centers of religious
worship (more than
2,6
O
of
America's religions included) as
long as part of the building is allo-
cated for secular social service use.
government haphazardly
throwing money at the war
on poverty
...
this initiative
would encourage religious
institutions and the
communities around them
to get Involved.
In the Jan. 23, 2003 edition of The New York Times, Eric Lichtblau
addressed the issue of religious groups receiving aid to build
housing.
•
"A church could erect a building using federal money to create a
shelter for the homeless in one part and private money to create a
sanctuary in another part," said Lichtblau in his article ... Bush plans
to let religious groups get building aid."
Rather than the government haphazardly throwing money at the
war on poverty (and risk having much of it get lost along the way to
its destination) this initiative would encourage religious institutions
and the communities around them to get involved. This way, gov-
ernment money could be actually used to fight poverty, without the
government needing to be directly involved in regulating the fight.
The Washington political elites are too far
removed
from the ghet-
tos. As a result, when the government tries to involve itself too much
on such levels, it only serves to muddle things.
In
my opinion, the
communities around the gh~ttos are most adept at fighting poverty
because they are closest to it, and understand the magnitude of the
economic constraints under which people suffer.
Bush's faith-based programs can help to encourage these co~u-
nities, and the religious institutions in them, to step up to the plate
and join the fight.
What has most struck me about Beulah is the clear separation
between the secular and religious parts of building. In fact, in its
structure, Beulah is a model prototype of what the Bush administra-
tion aims to initiate in other communities around the nation.
In no way is religion thrust upon the guests to the Beulah soup
kitchen
:_
there is no underlying plan to proselytize. The kitchen is
the undisputed secular part of the structure, where church members
and outsiders alike come together to help the needy.
The Poughkeepsie community is directly involved, and this fact,
more than anything
else,
is helping to combat the hardships of ghet-
to life.
If
Bush's initiatives can initiate the constructions of other
institutions like Beulah, as I strongly believe they can, our nation's
fight on poverty will certainly be a stronger one.

Do-not-call-day marks the demise of the telemarketer
By
_
ERKIA LOVELY
Massachusetts Daily Collegian
u.
Massachusetts
-
Amherst
AMHERST, Mass. (U-WIRE)- "Hello?"
"Hello, is Eureka Looley there?"
Tomorrow will be a day that lives in
infamy; a day that America is reborn. No
longer will we hesitate to pick up the phone,
glancing suspiciously at the blinking
"Unidentified Caller" sign on the Caller ID
box.
Oct.
1,
2003, is the day the national Do Not
Call Regisey activates its list of Do Not Call
members -- or in plain English,
people
who
are sick of running for the phone, only to
hear their first name grossly mispronounced
by the incompetent telemarketer on the other
end of the line.
This calling list is one you want to be
OH.
The Federal Trade Commission is actually
going to make telemarketers stop calling you
at those awkward moments, like right when
you're standing naked in front of the bath-
room window. My mother is going to cry
tears of joy, for her home-cooked family
meals will no longer be interrupted by Bob
selling Supervacs, and my roommate will no
longer be forced from her nap to answer
questions about her life insurance (she's
19).
It took the FTC three years of polls, tests
and 64,000 public comments (most of which
·
were ironically gathered by telemarketers)
before someone came to this brilliant conclu-
sion: Telemarketers are the most despicable
creatures on the planet. Therefore, by plea
from the general public, there are new rules
to restrain them through the phone lines.
The Do Not Call policy will be enforced by
everything from the Consumer Protection
Agency to state law enforcement. That's
right.
If
that Buy-one-get-12-free
CD clear-
inghouse keeps calling, you can help send
them and their outdated music to the
tank:
If
the telemarketers don't get shut down
permanently by your complaints, they·wm be
forced to pay as much as $11,000 per call. I
firmly believe that money should be allotted
to the poor people who put up with these
calls in the first place. Us.
If
you sign up on the
Do
Not Call website
today, your
name
and number will be added
to the list tomorrow. This registration lasts
for five years. Telemarketers have exactly
three months to take your
name
off their call-
ing lists. Even your cell phone can be signed
up. You can register up to three numbers,
except business phone lines.
Unfortunately, this program does
not
exor-
cise your phone from
the
evils of political
organizations, research surveys or those
awful charity calls. For these
nuisances
,
there
_is a simple cure
.
If
you don't want the peons
to call, all you have to
do
is tell them. It
seems too easy, but even the subhuman tele-
marketer
has
to listen and respect your wish-
es.
If
they don't do your bidding, they are
subject to prosecution by law.
If you don't have time
to
register
on
the
Do
Not Call list, there are a few home remedies
to ward off any batch of phone solicitors. The
general rule of thumb: do not be afraid to be
rude. Telemarketers are not human beings;
they are trained barbarians, ready to do any-
thing and everything to get your credit card
number. The key to ridding yourself of these
pests is giving them a taste of their own med-
·
icine.
If
all they do is ask you question~, why
not ask them a few right back?
For instance: "Ate you a telemarketer?"
They have to say yes. "Are you trying to sell
me something?" No gimmicks here; "What is
your first and last name, phone number and
home address?" Does the phrase sound
familiar?
If
you don't like the idea of questioning
these strangers (you'd make a poor teleso-
liciter), throw out a silencer. By a silencer, I
mean a retort that will suck the wind right out
of their swindling sails.
"I do not speak the English language par-
ticularly fluently, thank you," is a great one.
When someone asks for me, I often reply
"fm sorry she's dead." The
.
caller stammers
out an apology and hangs up.
At least everyone has the option to not sign
up. My roommate and I will not be signing
up anytime soon. Telemarketers serve as a
unique source of dorm room entertainment
on
a dull afternoon.
When the magazine people call, I tell them
the high quality paper from my free issues
made excellent bedding for my pet rabbit.
I've asked the knife company
if
their blades
slice through human bone and if
Jolin
Deere
makes a mulcher big enough to fit my boss.
"I'm sorry," I told an SPCA-type caller, "but
there's a big juicy possum caught in the grill
of my car, and he's still wiggling."
,
A self-employed
man
named Tom Mabe
has taken a similar approach to terrorizing
telemarketers. He has made a killing in CO
sales on his albums, "Revenge on the
Telemarketers" and "Revenge on the
Telemarketers, Round II." The albums fea~
ture a series of real phone conversations
between Mabe and telemarketers.
Stunts like this have made Mabe's CDs th~
best selling underground comedy albums
of
last year. And who can blame him?
Telephone solicitation is a $400 billimt
industry. It's about time someone started talk~
ing back.

The core: An academic powerhouse?
I am writing in response to Dr. Edward J. O'Keefe's
article regarding the core. Yes, many students find the
core is something to get out of the way. Students going
abroad schedule their core for their semester abroad
because they "blow off courses" and they wish to spend
time seeing the country. Double majors have problems
fulfilling all of their course requirements and transfers
often have to stay an extra year to complete the core.
Is it worth it? I
think
it is. From personal experience,
if
I had not taken certain core classes, I would never
have dreamed that I would be looking for graduate pro-
grams in industrial/organizational psychology. The
~ore helps undecided students choose the right major.
For all students, it provides a broad base of knowledge
that every educated person should have. To have that
Wrapped up in a bachelor's degree from Marist College
fs
a significant offering to a future employer or
graduate school.
Then why do we all want to get the core out of the
~ay? One problem with the core is that it's mandatory.
In
many cases, a student has no choice but to enroll in
an introductory course. In other cases, specifii;: courses
are required (i.e. college writing). Marist is
doing
its
best to create well-rounded students, but the students
sbould have more of a hand in deciding what well-
rounded means to them.
Another problem with the core is that it represents 50
}\ercent of a student's course load.
If
students don't
oome away with anything from a core course, then it
¢ally has been a waste of time and money.
To solve these problems and restore the core to the
academic powerhouse it was meant to be, Marist
should consider cutting the amount and specifics of its
~re requirements. Instead of 50 percent being core,
make it.30 percent. Only one class from each
discipline
~ould be required. Then students could take courses
they find engaging. I
think
this would seriously change
the student and faculty view of the core.

I was reading the September 18 edition of the circle,
when I came across Dr. O'Keefe's article about core
dasses. The article caused me to
think
back on my
~perience
with
core classes at Marist.
In
my experl-
~ce, core classes have been both good and bad. There
ltave been many core classes which I have enjoyed
attending and was grateful to experience them.
However;
most of those enjoyable classes were the
ones I chose myself, such as the literature classes and
some of the history classes. The classes which I was
forced to take without many options to chose from,
such as statistics, college writing, philosophy, and
cnhics, I did not find beneficial, except to show me that
I did not like the subject matter at all.
I guess the solution would then be to allow students
more classes to choose from so that they can fulfill the
core requirements and pick classes that are better suit-
ed
to their own learning needs.

Rip-off? Yea,
If
attitude not changed
Before I entered my senior year in college and start-
ed taking capping with Dr. Teed I could have given two
[expletive] about core classes just as long as
·
I got all
the requirements out of the way. After spending a class
period discussing this topic and reading the article in
The Circle about core classes,.I have developed a pas-
sion for delivering this information to
·
the
underclassmen.
Core classes are important to enhancing each and
every student's development, both academically and
individually, so that we can become better people in
life. The one problem is that all faculty I have encoun-
tered deal with core classes as a nuisance that needs to
be taken care of so that the "major" classes can get
µnderway. With this impression in my head from day
~ne, I developed the same attitude, and feel as though I
have been "ripped-off'' by those faculty because they
put this notion in my head.
I went into core classes with a negative attitude and
if
the professor was boring, forget it! I tuned out the
whole class and did what I had to in order to make the
grade I needed for Dean's List.
If
the professor cared
(bout what they were teaching and tre~ted the subject
they taught as an important life lesson and learning
qxperience, then I would.have paid attention and gotten
!tomething out of it. Instead I walked away from many
core classes, and some classes for my major, feeling I
wasted more than $1,000 for something I could have
learned more about on the internet in five minutes
of reading.
The only feasible way to make core classes important
to students is to change the attitude of faculty members
at this college and get them to understand that the class-
es are there to make the students better learners, and in
tum help them make connections from class subjects
to
real
life. It cannot stop there either; the faculty must
take this change into the classroom and help make con-
nections for the students through guidance and investi-
gation. Only when this change is made from the top
can students' attitudes change for the better.

I'll admit it. When I strode onto campus in the summer of 1997, I thought I knew it all. I
was actually a pin-head. My idea of diversity was eating Chinese one night, pizza the next.
The last book I read, "Moby Dick," was in tenth grade (thank God for the movie). The only
Leonardo I had heard of was that guy in "Titanic," and sure, I could quote Homer -
Simpson, "D'oh!" Thus, I was inspired and interested by the debate waged in response to
the September 18 letter by Dr. Edward O'Keefe, "Is the core an academic rip off?"
Looking back on my days at Marist, I'm amazed at how the core liberal arts courses chal-
lenged me to break out of my narrow-minded cocoon. Sure, initially I complained about hav-
ing to take philosophy and algebra at eight in the morning instead of sitting in my pajamas
playing Nintendo and watching "The Adventures [of] Pokemon."
"You have to choose something," my stone faced advisor said, so I began selecting class-
es on subjects I knew nothing about: Shakespeare, psychology, world religions, poetry,
screenwriting and art of film. A funny thing happened. I started appreciating art, music, lit-
erature, and science. I began writing better, an
_
d became much more articulate. I started mak-
ing the hike to Rhinebeck's Upstate Films to watch films by French and Italian directors
/
from the l 940's. I even
learned
that what I was majoring in at the time wasn't for me, and
thanks to my core classes I discovered what I was truly passionate about it. I didn't know
what was coming over me.
Soon you '11 graduate, and you will learn, as did I, that the world is pretty diverse, and
you'll meet and work with people who have many different interests and beliefs. (Imagine
my shock when I realized not everyone liked to listen to the "Dave Matthews Band" and play
Frisbee!) The fact that you enjoy movies and music, you remember what happened at The
Alamo, or you can explain to your kids how your neighbor's solar panel the size of Delaware
creates heat for his house, will enrich your life.
Besides, five years from now when you meet a hot young gal or guy at a cocktail party
and they ask, "So, what's the last book you've read?" do you really want to admit it was
Moby Dick?

Aside from the irresponsible portrayals of underage drinking [the security briefs], despite
painfully obvious efforts from the author to be witty, hardly ever draw a laugh from readers.
The author, Dan Roy, is now drawing on sexist stereotypes to try and save his lack of style
and writing technique from being a complete waste of paper and ink. Sorry, Dan. Your com-
pletely chauvinistic quip about women deserving their reputation as bad drivers failed to
draw laughs, and created a general feeling of disgust. I would have liked to
think
that most
men in my age group had moved past antiquated ideas about women. And though I won't
make generalizations about men the same way that Mr. Roy did about women, his blatant
chauvinism has in tum opened my eyes about the reality of many men's ideas about women
today. The general feeling of The Circle towards women is evidently a negative one if they
allow
Mr.
Roy to submit an article with that
type
of comment. I hope that The Circle will
come to the realization that sexist comments are not the way to boost readership or create a
quality newspaper.

In my Circle article of Sept.

and chagrin that very few students or faculty seemed
enamored of the Marist core

ments. Reactions were solicited, and while many stu-
dents responded

only one faculty member wrote.
Any number of explanations can be proffered as to

A
t
this time I will
discuss only one: "Students lack kno

courses." How do I know this?
·
For the past 15 years I have surveyed each of my
classes and have found few,

" Most are unaware that there is a logical

Let
me elaborate on
these findings.
As recently as
Unfortunately, most students
in all previous classes also
lacked
knowledge of the
unique character of the
Marist core.
this semester, no student in my undergraduate class
(comprised mostly of upperclassmen
)
knew that the
Marist core was first and foremost a "values oriented"
curriculum. Students were not aware that the
y
were
prepared to engage different value perspectives through
their semester-long exposure to distinc
t
"
modes of con-
sciousness" (at least four of which were philosophical
,
scientific, mythopoetic
,
and religious). No one knew
that
'
'being well-rounded" was achieved by the com-
mon grounding of the area
/
discipline-specific courses
in these modes and by each core course explic
i
tly
detailing its content, values
,
methodology and skills.
Students were ignorant of the un
i
queness of their
Marist "well-rounded education
;"
that it was the distil-
late of three years of faculty study and debate
;
and that
it set them apart from gradua

Unfortunatel
y,
most students in all

The obvious question is: Why do studen

lack this

To end on a more positive note

it has been my expe-
rience that once students understand the organiza

Dakona's U.S. debut arrives,
quartet plays McCann
tonight
By
ROB McGUINNESS
Managing Editor
Nearly two and a half years after signing with
Maverick Records, the members of Dakona,finally
have something to show for their efforts: "Perfect
Change," their major label debut.
Producing the album was no easy feat, according
to Dakona's lead
singer,
Ryan McAllister.
"We recorded for over five months in Toronto,"
McAllister said. "Then we wound up not using 90
percent of it."
However, the pace quickened and productivity
increased when the band ventured to Los Angeles
to work with producer Rob Cavallo. After only
18
days
in
the studio, much of the album had been
~ompleted.
With the album reaching stores Sept.
23,
the band
members now find themselves eager to start tour-
ing to support their most recent effort.
"We're a little antsy to get out there," McAllister
said. "We're really proud of the album."
"Good," the first single from "Perfect Change"
only scratches the surface of Dakona 's musical
offerings, according to McAllister.
"There are a lot more emotional cuts on the
album," McAllister said. "We hope the fans con-
nect with our lyrics. Songs with lyrics that fans can
relate or connect to have a greater longevity than
the catchy tune of the week."
Dakona 's previous independent recordings, the
critically acclaimed "Good Enough for Me" and
"Ordinary
Heroes" earned the
,b,w
a
loyaLooUow+
ing in the Pacific Northwest and Canada.
However, touring with Better Than Ezra and
Tonic earlier this year exposed the band to a
completely new audience which has been recep-
tive to the quartet's songs which incorporated
heavy guitar
·
textures with fluid grooves and
melodies.
"It's been amazing, considering that we didn't
hav<? a record out until last week," McAllister
said."We love that position as underdogs, going
out and trying to win over the audience."
If touring throughout the United States and
Canada has shown the band one thing, it's that
small town audiences are particularly enthusiastic.
"The more in the boonies you are, the more peo-
ple are excited about seeing entertainment,"
McAllister said. "In places like LA, the people are
kind of jaded."
The touring life comes with its fair share of haz-
ards as well, as McAllister said a bottle rocket
accidentally went off in the band's van this week.
"We had a lot of smoke in the van, and someone
caught [the bottle rocket] in a pillow," McAllister
said. "We're pretty sure our guitarist still has all his
.
fingers."
Once the band takes the stage, Dakona tries to
give the audience its money's worth.
"With everyone competing for the people's
entertainment dollar, we're up against the matrix,"
McAllister said. "We try to go out there and put on
a
show. We entertain."
"And
we like to risk our lives at least once dur-
·
ing a show," McAllister said with a laugh.
"So
we'll see how high the

stack
is in

Although promising, 'Underworld' is overrated
Fight scenes, rain

dominate film, interfere with story line
By

Staff Writer

out
of four
"Underworld" is the category
of film that is so immersed in
style and visual effects that it for-
gets
about the other elements that
make
up a.movie.
From
the beginning, we are
shown a very visually absorbing
world, a gloomy c}ty plagued by
rain, similar to one dreamed up
by Tim Burton. The costuming
and setting style is comparable to
films like ''The Matrix" or "Dark
City," which I found to be enter-
taining and mentally stimulating.
But
the
special effects of
"Underworld" could not ~om-
pensate for the story's lack of
clarity, as well as its underdevel-
oped
characters.
The basic story is not that hard
to
understand;
the race of vam-
pires is at war with the race of
werewolves. The plot becomes
hlir'd t6 tbllow
lf~c
·
ause
'tttafiY
of
the scenes are very· repetitive.
The motives behind characters'
actions are also very mysterious
and illogical. By itself, it seems
like an interesting concept, but
obviously it is not enough to
keep the film from deteriorating.
.In fac;:t, that premise is almost as
intellectually deep as the movie
gets.
Selene, (Kate Beckinsale) is a
stylish vampire whose life mis-
sion is to help the vampire race
exterminate
the
werewolf
species; The first 20 minutes.
contain mostly action scenes of
shootouts and martial arts battles
between the two groups. Of
course things get complicated
when a young human gets
involved in the story. Michael
Corvin (Scott Speedman) js a
young medical intern who is
being hunted by the werewolves
because he has genetic lineage
that traces back to one of the
original werewolf immortals.
Why is this import~(
'it>
the
werewolves? Well, obviously if
you t~e some of his blood and
mix
it with some of the werewolf
blood of today, it will make the
werewolves super strong. At
least, I think that is how it works.
In an attempt to make the film
more interesting, Michael gets
bitten by the leader of the were-
wolves, Lucian (Michael Sheen),
who takes the blood sample back
to his lair -
which now means
Michael will be turning into a
werewolf. Of course, with the
minimal dialogue of no impor-
tance exchanged between Selene
and Michael, there is still time
for them to share a romance,
even though they are now sworn
enemies.
Towards the end there are some
new revelations that sparked my
interest, involving a surprise
about the nature of the were-
wolves. However, it wasn't
enough though to redeem this
film.
The entire last quarter
labs; place
in
tbe.
cit¥,
s e ~
where video
_
game-type chorea:
graphed fight scenes constantly
ensue. And like all video games,
there is a big boss to battle at the
end.
After the first half hour, I got
the gist of the movie. In fact, I
found many of the film's
stylistic
elements to
be irritating. Every
couple minutes there was a char-
acter jumping down from a
building, or throwing open a
door as they entered a room, or
walking with the rhythm of
techno music -
all in slow
motion. Oh, and don't forget the
never ending pouring rain. These
motifs did a lot to add atmos-
phere, but they didn't do any-
thing to keep me entertained.
If the characters and story were
a little more developed, it would
have been a better movie. But as
is, "Underworld" has as much
personality as the props and
costumes.

Ice Foxes prepare for
'03-04
hoc
-
key season
By
SCOTT MONTESANO
Staff Writer
Stephen Butka knows all about
following in the footsteps of leg-
ends.
At this time last year, he was a
freshman at the West Point
Military Academy, learning about
the great military le~ders of this
country.
Now he finds himself at Marist
College, where this year he will
become the Red Foxes' starting
goaltender, replacing the leg-
endary Matt Allatin.
A four-year starter, Allatin was
considered one of the best goal-
tenders in the northeast before
graduating last May.
"I'm confident going into the
season, and I'm sure my team-
mates are confident in me," said
Butka earlier this week.
'
A freshman, Butka transferred
to Marist this year after an injury
forced him to leave Army after
eight months. He eventually
decided upon Marist because it
was very similar to his high
school, Monsignor Farrell in
Staten
Island,
NY. He says the
close community, short distance
from home and Catholic tradition
were the influencing factors.
While in high school, Butka
played for the Monsignor squad
and even skated with current
Foxes' senior Lou Guglielmetti
during his sophomore season.
However, Butka didn't play any
competitive hockey last season
while at Army.
Now, Butka will get his first
taste of college hockey on Oct.
3
when the

of earlier
this week, he was the only goal-

said Marist head coach Bob
Simmons, who points out the
team started with five goaltenders
in

Sept.

"I don't understand

dence is high fo~ a program which
has eyes on a national tournament
berth. Last season the Red Foxes
finished 11-15-3 and ranked sev-
.
enth in the northeast.
By far not earth-shattering num-
bers, but a significant improve-
ment from the previous three
campaigns. As this season gets
ready to start, Simmons points out
the team has plenty of strengths.
"We did get more depth on this
team" says the third year head
coach. He noted that freshmen
Rich Pocock and Doug Engler
should help the team offensively
and compliment returning scoring
threats junior Jordan Plante and
senior Kevin Alteri.
Plante finished with 15 goals
while Alteri had 13 tallies.
Together they scored 28 of the
team's 86 goals.
The team's only major offensive
loss is Chris Murray, who gradu~
ated last year after scoring ten
goals in his final season.

Red Fox Football on roll
By HEATHER LEE
Asst. Sports Edi~or
Marist Football
3-1
On Sept.
27,
the Marist Red
Foxes added another win to
their bracket by defeating
Wagner
24-13.
Although predicted to be a
tough win for them, it seemed
with the confidence they had
built up from the past two
wins, there was nothing tough
about it.
The Red Foxes started with
p<>ssession of the ball in the
first quarter; running back
Alfredo Riullano rushed the
ball for three yards achieving a
first down. Following the first
down the ball was rushed again
by Riullano and Mike ClµTan.
With less than three minutes
into the first quarter a touch-
down was scored by quarter-
back James Luft. After the
touchdown was scored kicker
Adam Tanalski scored the
extra point, leaving the Red
Foxes with seven and Wagner
with zero. The score remained
the same for most of the first
quarter until Marist regained
possession and attempted a
field ~oat, with less than
3
minutes left in the first quarter
the score was
I 0-0.
Directly
after the field goal Wagner
gained possession and Sean
Simmons Stored a toucbdo1Vn,
leaving the score at the end of
the first quarter
10-
7.
At this point it seemed like
both teams were gaining
momentum.
In the second quarter, kicker
Robbie Pate for Wagner had a
kickoff of
55
yards which was
received my Mike Derosa with
a return of 26 yards, James
McQueen, James Luft, and
Brad Rowe gained the most
yards
for
Marist,
with
McQueen rushing
24
yards and
scoring a touchdown putting
Marist up
17-7.
During the third quarter of
the game
Wagner had posses-
sion. Their possession was a
short one when the ball was
fumbled and Marist regained
possession
with
Alfredo
Riullano scoring a touchdown.
The ball continued to go back
and forth through the third
quarter with the score at
24- 7.
Towards the middle of
the third quarter Wagner
regained
possession
and
seemed to be gaining momen-
tum until the ball was inter-
cepted by Robert Thompson
who returned the ball
20
yards
for Marist.
As the fourth quarter rolled
on, the excitement could be felt
on the field. Although it was
seen
less
by
the fans, who were
slowly dissipating. Marist had
possession of the ball in the
fourth quarter, time was wind-
ing down and it seemed that
there was no chance for
Wagner.
Wagner's
Brian
Giroux intercepted the ball
with less than
6
minutes left in
the final quarter. Wagner uti-
lized its passing game to gain
yards,
quarterback
David
Bateman finally passed the ball
to Chris Davis who scored a
touchdown. The extra point
attempt was failed by their
kicker Robbie Pate.
The. Red Foxes are surely on a
winning streak. As the adage
says, "all good things must
come to an end". Will this
statement soon apply to our
winning football team? Be sure
to check them out at our next
home game and see for your-
self, Oct.
11,
against Lasalle.

win improved the Oneonta Red
Dragons'
record to 6-2-1 and
gave the Marist Red Foxes
their first loss of the season
putting their season total at
4-

"It
felt great coming into

24:26 minutes into the contest.
"We dug down deep and
played our hearts out and it
really showed,'9 said
DiMuccio
after the huge victory for the
Dragons.
This victory should help
improve the ranking of the
third place regionally ranked
Red Dragons who extended
their winning streak to an
impressive three games.
lose their fifth place regional
ranking. Before this loss,
Marist was only one of 16
Division I soccer teams to be
undefeated this season.
Matt Flaherty, the Red Foxes
junior midfielder, who sat out
this contest due to
an
upper
hamstring injury, commented.
"We started slow and never
regained our composure," he
said after the Foxes loss to the
Dragons.
'This was a huge win
for our
squad
coming Into Marlst
and
setting
a
real
statement.'
-lain Byrne
Oneonta coach
The ejection of sophomore
Bobby Van Dyke just 13 min-
utes into the second half hurt
Marist's chances at making a
run. Van Dyke
was

issued a yellow card just 16

minutes into th!! game and
made an early exit from the
contest.
"The
ejection of Van Dyke
helped us greatly because it put
them a man down," said
Oneonta coach Iain Byrne after
the game. Byrne added, "This
was a huge win for our squad
coming into Marist and setting
a real statement."
Oneonta goalkeeper Jack
Potter achieved his
fifth

Dragons, and Marist goalie

game. Oneonta also out shot

.
margin
of
17-7.

Foxes with nine points behind
three goals and three assists.
