Undergarments
and armor
A contrast between males and females as portrayed in the art of Tanya Marcuse
JEN
HAGGERTY/ THE CIRCLE
Guest lecturer, Tanya Marcuse,
has received numerous awards
for her photography.
By
JENNIFER C. HAGGERTY
Editor in Chief
Undergarments and armor are
seemingly two
completely
dif-
ferent
items,
but there
is
a con-
nection between them, as discov-
ered at the Fall Honors Lecture
Tuesday evening with nationally
known artist Tanya Marcuse.
Marcuse has received numer-
ous awards for her photography,
including
the
National
Fmmdation for the Advancement
of
the
Arts Award, the Dutchess
County Arts Fellowship, and the
Center for Photography at
Woodstock
Photographers
Fellowship.
More recently, Marcuse was
awarded
the
prestigious
Guggenheim
Fellowship
and a
Kittredge Grant from Harvard
University for her project,
"Undergarments
and Armor."
Just finishing a rough draft of her
photographic book two weeks
ago, Marcuse presented a part of
her numerous photographic col-
lections of historical under-
clothes and armor in the United
States and England.
"When
people find out that I'm
photographing undergarments,
they think it's going to be sexy
and they're not. They're clinical
and, in some cases, very industri-
al," Marcuse said.
Marcuse showed slides of her
work, which she explained has

Marcuse's
interest in
undergar-
ments, such as corsets and
bodices, stems primarily from
the
structure (the body) that they
hold. To her, a major
fascination
with this type of
fashion was the
knowledge that someone once

into these
garments
that
are

now
stored away in museum
drawers.

"[This
shows] the inner struc-
ture pushing through to the out-
side," she said while pausing on
a self-portrait of her collarbone.
Marcuse's fascination with the
details of the body provided the
foundation for her obsession
with undergarments and armor,
items that would frame the body
and later represent the body that
they once sculpted. This aspect
would be crucial to understand-
ing why undergarments and
armor has mesmerized her.

Marcuse has always been
interested in the
"individual"
body not an ideal
"perfect"
one
that people often try to achieve.
She spent time
photographing
at
the Temple of Olympia in Greece
to learn more about the human
form.
"The
fragment
of the body is
interesting to me," she said,
while
reflecting
on photographs
of Greek artifacts from her
abroad journey.
After Marcuse married in
1995,
she began to photograph what
she called,
"the
fetish of the wed-
ding dress
.
"
These photos
focused on her fascination with
parts of the dress that became
partly an autobiographical con-

By

Staff Writer
The Student Government
Association elections are finally
over and Marist College has its
new class officers, resident and
commuter senators.
After last week's voting period,
students made it clear who they
thought would best fill the posi-
tions. The final
results
were
released
to
students on Oct.
3-.
According to SGA's public
relations
officer,
Melissa
Mayfield, the organization was
impressed with this year's candi-
dates.
"[The
SGA] definitely is
pleased. Even those who didn't
win were well qualified," said
Mayfield.
"We're
glad they are
so eager to get involved."
The new officers will serve as
representatives to their respec-
tive classes.
"We
hope that they'll fulfill
their duties and really be the
voice of the students" said
Mayfield.

There was a hit and run accident in
the Upper Hoop Lot at 12:50 p.m.
Wednesday afternoon. The vict~m, a 1995
black Chevy, suffered a push d in rear pas-
senger bumper. The town police were noti-
fied. The Chevy obviously felt violated, but
you know, some cars like to have things
pushed into their rear bumpers. At least that's
what I hear ...

Less than an hour later in the Mccann
park;ip&l~ there:was another
.
incident. At 1:35
p.m. a 1999 grey Honda had its driver side rear
fender dented.
The
accident was not seen, and
no note was left. A dead end right? Wrong!
After going to the scene of the crime I noticed
something very peculiar; there was some brown
fur
next to the car. See, this was no car that hit
the Honda No, it was something else entirely.
The brown
fur
found
at
the scene was none
other than the
fur

bear has
been plotting his revenge on mankind
for over a decade now. Let's just hope we
can

him
before he strikes again.

The fire department made a trip over
to Talmadge Court at 4:35 p.m. Wednesday
afternoon. After the smoke had dissipated,
the patented burnt food on the stove was
found to
be
the culprit. Students were wor-
ried, though, when fire trucks didn't arrive
on the scene immediately. Once they got
there, the firefighters apologized saying,
"Sorry, we had never heard of Talmadge
before."

the vehicle was found with

and dented. The town police didn't understand
why the owner was so upset. "It's a purple Geo.

Jazz saxophonist Gary McCourry will be the opening act for the
Music at Marist concert series' fall 2003 season. The free concert,
a compilation of compositions by the legendary Thelonious Monk,
'
will be held in the PAR on Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 8 p.m.
McCourry has arranged several Monk works to

HIV lecture: An issue in the 'Real World'
By
L
OUIS P. ORTIZ
Ill
Staff Writer
While many people know Dan
Renzi for his role on "The Real
World," he is out making a new
name for himself on the college
lecture circuit.
On Tuesday, Sept. 29, the
Student Programming Council
(SPC) hosted an informational
lecture on HIV given by Renzi,
model and counselor.
SPC planned this night in
hopes of reaching the Marist
College community on a topic
not often discussed.
It was a
huge success, filling the cabaret
to its capacity of
1 GO
people.
A counselor at the Center for
Disease Control (CDC) for six
years, Renzi's duties include
guiding individuals through the
HIV testing process. Renzi also
participates in Federal Research
programs, whichgathertnforrna-
tion to assist places like the CDC
in determining why individuals
are
infected
with
Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Renzi decided to be an HIV
counselor to talk to other people
his age to figure out how to deal
with HIV. Around this time, the
CDC
-
discovered that one of the
major risk groups of HIV infec-
tion in this country were college-
aged people. This was the first
time a lot of college students
were being ib.fected, especially
women.

-Dan Renzi
As a counselor at the time,
Renzi said it was unnerving to
watch as the rate of infection
increased.
"It was disturbing to see the
number of people being infected.
It was no longer a question of
morals or right and wrong, as it
was in the 80s-:-it was a question
of control. Everyone was blam-
ing everyone else and they did
not look at why people were
being HIV infected," said Renzi.
He also said that college stu-
dents go out to fraternity parties
and clubs to alleviate themselves
from responsibility. They drink
and put themselves in precarious
situations that can put han:n on
themselves and others.
According to Renzi, drugs are
a large factor in increasing sexu-
al activity.
"Crystal myth is a humongous
factor in the infection of the HIV
virus among college students,"
said Renzi.
He commented on the criti-
cisms college students receive in
relation to underage drinking,
pre-marital sex, and taking
drugs.
"I
do not believe you ( college
students) are bad and behaving
badly. I believe society is not
doing a good job educating you,"
said Renzi. "I think when people
talk about HIV, they talk about it
as a virus with all these medical
explanations, but fail to talk to
you about who you are and why
you do the things that you do. I
encourage you to make choices
for yourself and not be afraid of
what others will say."
Renzi reminded students that
the CDC is there to listen to con-
cerns.
They are also there to
assist with problems and do not
demoralize individuals for their
decisions.
"When you're in college and
you're thinking about what you
want to do with the rest of your
life, take a step back and worry
about what you are going to on a
daily basis to stay alive," said
Renzi.
When asked for their reactions,
students agreed the lecture was a
good e~perience.
Elizabeth Parrilla, sophomore,
said,
"I
thought it would be cool
to see a character from a reality
TV show that I am a big fan of
and possibly get an autograph.

Nikki
Herron,junior, said, "My
motivation for attending this lec-
ture was to see Dan from the real
world speak and listen to
a
new
and fresh perspective on HIV
and its history.
He was very
straightforward

Parents, siblings participate in festivities during
Marists Annual Family Weekend
By

Staff
Writer
Marist families were invited to
join students on campus during
the Annual Family Weekend
.
As honorary guests they partic-
ipated in breakfasts
,
barbeques,
lectures and concerts.
The President's Breakfast, held
in the McCann center on
Saturday, was one of many
scheduled events during the
three-day Family Weekend.
Many activities were scheduled
back to back on Saturday
.
Patty
Cunningham, whose son is a stu-
dent here, found herself rushing
around to fit everything in.
"We've been so busy with all
these activities ... this is the fir9t
time we've seen our son all
weekend," said Cunningham.
An estimated 1600 people
attended the breakfast, making
this
·
the largest breakfast Marist
College has ever held. Families
were seated according to their
student's majors to allow them to
mingle with the deans and facul-

of their department.
Marist College Presi[ent,
Dennis Murray, welcomed the
parents to the breakfast and gave
a brief history and description of
Marist and its facilities. After his
address, he joined in mingling
with the Marist Families.
Faculty were seen sitting with
families
,
discussing curriculums,
campus, and becoming more
familiar with students in their
department.
''The families were more than
happy to talk to Dr. Murray and
the deans," said Marie Austen,
director of first year programs.
This event was a first for
Marist College. The President's
Breakfast was formerly known
as the Dean's Breakfast, and was
held in the
·
student Center
instead of the Mccann.center. In
order to accommodate the grow..,
ing size of Family Weekend, the
breakfast was moved.
"We wanted to expand Family
Weekend, which is why we
changed the breakfast to include
Dr. Murray. Holding it in the

McCann center helped to make it
more formal," said Austen.
Following the breakfast, the
music department came together
to perform a concert for parents
and families.
The concert opened with a per-
formance by the male acapella
group, Time Check, followed by
the female acapella group, The
Sirens.
Janet Davis then directed the
Marist College Singers and
Chamber Singers in renditions of
"The Word was God" and
"Battle of Jericho." Led by direc-
tor Arthur B. Himmelberger, the
Marist College Band perfonned
a number of 80s pop songs and
"On the Hudson," dedic;ated to

Institute.
As a finale, the Marist College
Band and Singers came together
to perform Irving Berlin's
"America."
The concert was a success,
drawing an audience twice as
large as last years.

Allman Brothers' re-released anthology
incorporates uncut hit songs, live music
By
BRANDON SMITH
Staff Writer
Thirty-three years ago the
Allman Brothers were an
unknown southern-rock blues
band. Then, they released their
critical and commercia
l
break-
through, the double-live LP "At
Fillmore East." The album did
more
than
introduce
the
Allmans to the world; it also set
the trend of double LP live
albums that prevailed through
the seventies, with albums such
as Kiss "Alive" and "Frampton
Comes Alive" following suit.
Now, after thirty-two years,
Universal has re-released "At
Fillmore East" as part of their
ongoing Deluxe Edition series.
The original album contained
a mere seven tracks with a
76-

Concert Review
Dakona delivers rocking
peff ormance at Mc Cann
By
ROB McGUINNESS
Managing
Editor
With an energized, polished performance at the
Mccann Center Oct. 2, Dakona made good on its
promise of an entertaining concert and likely won
some new fans.
Opening for Michelle Branch on the first night of
their tour, the Canadian quartet treated the Marist
audience to a 45-minute sampling of songs from its
major label debut, "Perfect Change" (Maverick).
Dakomi
~arted
ffie set with --Wa~tW!a,'' the first

'Change."
ring the opening
number, lead singer Rj'an McAllister was incredi-
bly animated, playing to all sides of the stage while
receiving
a warm reception from the audience.
Given the band's poise and stage presence
throughout the set, it is evident that six years of
prior performing experience has paid off dramati-
cally. This tour may be their first in support of a
major label album, but Dakona comes across as a
group of seasoned professionals.
A surprisingly clean sound mix in the McCann
Center only added to the aural experience of the
evening apd made it possible for listeners to follow
Brook Winstanley's solid guitar work. Shane
Dueck's bass and
John Biondolillo's drums were
prevalent in the mix and added to the creation of
the atmospheric quality and musical grooves the
band strives to achieve.
Even with the band demonstrating such a refined
sound, McAllister never lost sight of the group's
role as perpetual underdogs trying to amass a solid
fan following. McAllister thanked the audience
repeatedly and even made several dedications.
"This
next song is dedicated to the Red Fox
squash team for letting us use their court as a dress-
ing room," McAJlister said before "Revolving."
McAllister's banter with the audience between
songs
revealed additional insight into the band's
professional
plight
and dispelled any notion that a
major record contract makes for easy living.
"We signed a
record
deal and got a big fat check,"
McAllister said before
"Richest
Man in the
World." "But you get big fat bills. So here we are,
broke again.
I
think we spent the last of our money
on gas getting out here. Oh well, easy come, easy
.go/'
Prior to performing "Good (I've Got a Lot to
Learn)," easily one of the highlights of the set,
McAllister again acknowledged that the band is
focusing
on
broadening its fan base.
"Most of you have never heard of us before,"
McAllister said.
"We've
got 20 more minutes to
make fans out of you."
"Good,"
the first single from "Perfect Change"
drew cheers from the audience, a reaction that
brought a smile to McAllister's face.
"We made a fan!" McAllister said in response to
the cheers.
While Dakona was successful in warming up the
audience for headliner Branch, it is likely that their
McCann Center performance attracted many new
listeners.
Given a genuinely entertaining live performance
and a strong collection of songs on
"Perfect
Change," it would not be at all surprising to see
Dakona headlining major venues within a few
years.

Concert Review
Pop sensation Branch

By JAMES REYES

Lines began to form at 3. p.m. in
front of the Mccann Center
Thursday, Oct. 2 for the Michelle
Bran~h concert debut.
The pop sensation kicked off her
"Where

U Now?" tour with
an

as the doors opened at

The Student Programming
Council (SPC) completed a long,
difficult proceis Thursday evening
while many students were enjoy-
ing the concert. SPC first had to
gather a consensus of possible gen-
res and artists to submit for
approval.
·
Choosing the artist, however, was
a lot easier according to SPC
President Kristin Burlage.
"When it comes time to pick the
artist, one always stands out among
the rest," said Burlage.
An
aspect that attracted SPC to
Branch was that she would be the
first mainstream female artist to
come to Marist since Jewel's per-
formance in 1995. It was also con-
venient that Branch was beginning
her tour in New York.
Imm.eh's music is

heart
filid
relates
to
most people due to its
authenticity and originality. She
started a new trend in music: she is a
female artist who
Mites
and sings
all
of her
own songs.
Her
first
album,
''Broken Bracelet," was an acoustic
based self-released project that
didn't bring her"much recognition.
Branch's second album "Spirit
Room," brought her into the music
spotlight with many number one
chart topping hits. That album
alone has become the longest run-
ning Billboafd Top I 00 record for
the last 18 months.
Her latest album
,
"Hotel Paper,"
released on June 24, 2003 was long
anticipated It's first hit single
"Are
You Happy Now?" was received
with great reviews and bec~e a
top ten single
.
This album proved
to be more in depth
than
the first
two and reveals a lot of personal
information about Branch that ibe
normally wouldn't express.
One of Branch's best qualities is
her ability to write music that
reaches a broad range of fans. The
audience was ranged from twelve-
year-old girls who came with par-
ents to Marist male students. There
was also a geographic representa-
tion with people from as far as
Pennsylvania and lower New
Jersey.
Melis~ Hansen, Mahopac, New
Jersey, felt the destination was
worth it.
"We'd go
as
far as we'd have
to
so we
can

]
,"
said Hansen.

ccess
Around 9:30 p.m. after the open-
ing act, Dakona, had _finished, the
lights dimmed and the melody of
"Drop in the Ocean" began. The
crowed roared as they saw
Branch's girlish
figure
walk across
stage, guitar in hand. The melody
continued to play until she began
her
first
song
.
For the first part of the concert,
Branch's voice sounded a little
timid and higher than normal.
"I'm a little nervous, it's my first
night on tour," Branch admi
tt
ed.
Some thought she was nervous
because she was performing
among her peers (Branch being
only 20-.years-old).
''I
guess this is what
I
have for
skipping college. I have to go back
and play fur all you guys," Bnmch
said jokingly.
Branch soon got over her anxiety
and
the concert got better with
memorable
moments
such as her
perfonnance of
"
Everywhere,"
where she began playing solo on
her acoustic guitar. Another unfor-
gettable moment was Branch and
her two guitarists' jam session
which acted
as
an intro to her hit
single "Empty Handed." One of
the best moments would have to be
her heartfelt performance of ''One
of These Days" in which she sat on
a stool center stage, closed her eyes
and sang her heart out accompa-
nied by her keyboardist. The crowd
could feel the pain and passion that
Branch put into
·
that song.
Branch is definitely not a diva on
or off stage. Her stage per-
formance was confident yet
modest.
Gina Banicelly, frosh, was
impressed with Branch's
performance.
"When she's on stage there's this
softness to her," she said. "[Branch
is] so comfortable
up
there yet so
composed at the same time."
The crowd response was invig-
orating. Wall to
wall,
fans sang
aloud to the
l
yrics. During
Branch's more popular songs, such
as her number one hit "Goodbye to
You," which she performed solo on
her acoustic, the fans could be
heard
singing louder than Branch.
''This
has been
a pretty
good
show, nothing broke, everything
worked
pretty
well," said Branch
before she stepped off stage.
The lights dimmed and the crowd
grew anxious. Just as everyone
realized that she had not perfortned
her hit single
"Are
You Happy
Now?" a phonograph appeared on
the backgroun
d
screen and played
the introduction to her album
"Hotel Paper."
The crowd screamed in anticipa-
tion as Branch and her band rushed
back on stage for an encore per-
formance. Afterwards, she threw
her guitar pies and dn.mJsticks out
into the crowd.
The concert itself was a great
experience especially for hardcore
fans that appreciate acoustic ver-
sions of certain songs and the addi-
tional song lyrics at the end of
"Hotel Paper'' not found on the
album version.

happy now? Thi%

Allen's "Anything Else" could have
been something more, something else
By

Staff

out of
****
You know something is up when Stockard
Channing tells her on-screen daughter,
Christina Ricci it's
OK
to do a line of
cocaine. The one drug scene in Woody
Allen's latest movie "Anything Else" nearly
steals the best laughs in the film.
In fact, in a scene involving the same drug
as his earlier film "Annie Hall," Allen gets
the best laugh when he delivers probably the·
best onscreen sneeze
'in
all of American cin-
ema.
Mr. Allen, is there something you're
not telling America? Yeah, the scene was
funny, but almost everything else in
"Anything Else" should have garnered the•
same amount of laughs.
The story· centers on Jerry Falk, a neurotic
(surprise) twenty-something comedy writer,
who is, to put it simply, afraid. He can't say
the word no,- especially to his manager,
played by Danny DeVito or to his therapist
who ignores him during their sessions.
nowhere as Amanda can't "perform" with
Jerry as well as she can with about what
seems like half a dozen other guys in the
movie. As Jerry puts· it, "The doctor had bet-
ter sex examining her than I've had in six
months." He's scared to admit that Amanda,
although beautiful, just isn't as committed as
he i£, although she wishes she were.
We get to see their relationship as it seems
to be untangling, but not before we get a nice
long flashback to when they first
met:
Amanda tells Jerry that she liked
him
since
they first met. "Couldn't you tell by the way
I was ignoring you?" she informs him. The
film goes along like any other romantic com-
edy, but what sets it apart from the others is
Allen's witty dialogue, which compared to
his other films, just
,isn't
as fresh or most
importantly, as funny.
for this film's story). That's not to say that
some of Allen's lines aren't hysterical; oh, they
are. It's a pure Woody moment when he deliv-
ers his witty view oflife. "I would commit sui-
cide, but I realized ibat wouldn't solve all my
problems."
Biggs in the lead r~le does well with the
material Allen has written. But I'm afraid that
with an actor coming from the "American Pie"
films, the teenage audience is expecting
raunchy toilet jokes from an R-rated movie.
If
you're expecting to see someone getting
walked in on or naked
co-eds, look elsewhere.
This isn't about the sight gags but actually
about the characters and what motivates them.
Biggs does neurosis well as we've come to
learn from his "Pie" flicks, and his screen time
with fellow star Ricci is literally magical.
However, there
are too many lulls and not
enough well timed puns that make up for them.

Allen steps into teen movie territory by cast-
ing Biggs in the lead role. Allen, not being the
center character in the film, is the whole prob-
lem. By shifting the lead role to Biggs, Allen
seems to alienate himself from his own film,
coming in to give advice to Jerry. Given the
guy is in his late sixties, he sure can be pretty
darn funny when it comes to delivering
comedic lines. Allen's films are almost always
dialogue driven, and, in this case, Allen does-
n't have enough lines to fill the nearly two-

popular teen movie actors in the lead rolls
doesn't hurt the film, and I definitely com-
mend Allen for not turning the film into
"American Pie IV" ( enough already!). What it
all boils down to is this: Allen is a funny guy
in a movie that could have been something
more, something else.

adult gets one to three respirato-

to lifestyle and living condi-

infection.
Although there
is
no way to
completely eliminate your risk
of getting sick, there are some
precautions you can take in
order to prevent a cold or the
flu.
Staying healthy requires com-

·
In
general, having a strong
immune system is your best
defense against infection, and
your strongest aid to recover
from infections in a short period
of time. There are several
things you can do to boost your
immune system: eat well, don't
smoke, drink plenty of water,
get plenty of exercise, and dress
appropriately according to the
weather.
Other advice Damore gave was
to take vitamins,
drink
plenty of
fluids, get enough sleep, and to
manage your
time.
"Everybody
loves to procrastinate," she said,
which unfortunately leads to
people cramming schoolwork,
skipping meals, sleeping less,
and therefore getting sick.
Health Services sees
many
cases
of cold, flu, strep throat, and
mono. Damore said, "Health
Services has been giving flu

Frustration Is only result
In regards
to last week's security brief about the 98 Honda Civic
being
hit, let me tell you why I need a new pair of walking shoes.
First of all, the "minor" damage done to my car was an understate-
ment. That's like saying people in Somalia are "a little hungry." The
damage to my car was well over $1200. While that is "minor" to
Marist College, it's "extensive" to me. Especially since I have to foot
the bill. That kind-hearted driver, who left his name and number on
the back of a fantasy football sheet, that I'm sure he could
hardly
bear
to part with, has yet to return one of my phone calls. It's been two
weeks. I hope he plays fantasy football better than he backs up.
If
this kid's driving is a joke, Marist security must be the punch line.
The extent of their help in finding the kid who hit my car and forc-
ing him to pay for the damages has been asking him, a week after it
happened,
if he hit my car. He said no. They said ok and closed my
case. I called the police, which security assured me I wouldn't have
to do when I first reported the accident to them. The officer showed
up at security to find out where the crazy driver lived on campus.
Unfortunately, he was at class and Marist wouldn't allow the officer
to go
.
to the class and talk to him. Instead
~~r
assured the officer that
the boy ·would get the message that the police were after him for hit
and run, and that surely he would skip down to security to talk with
the authorities. Well, they got the skipping part right. He skipped
town for the next four days.
To make a long, sad story short, the officer never actually talked to
the kid who hit my car and security told me that after working on my
case with their "investigator" for an hour, there was nothing they
could do. Hey thanks guys. So I go out with my roommates and find
even more evidence to give Marist. I'm a public relations major but
.
apparently my investigatory skills are slightly sharper than our
"investigator's." They assured me that with this new info I gave them
everything would be taken care of and settled by Monday at the lat-
est. It's Wednesday. Security has yet to call me back even one time
from the first time I called them the day the car was hit. They have
done absolutely nothing to help me. The best part, and by best I
mean worse - is they don't feel like they have to. Now if you were
to jaywalk, or park in the wrong lot, security would be all over that.
After all, your mistake means dollar signs to them. If not, you are on
your own. I don't have $1200 lying around to fix my car, and I can't
drive it without extensive repair. Looks like it's just me and my Nikes
from now on ... just another testament to our stellar campus security.

Voter registration deadllne Is qulckly approaching
The deadline to register for the 2003 General Election in New York
is this Friday, Oct. 10. Completed forms should be mailed or handed
in to the Board of Elections ( on Cannon Street in Poughkeepsie) by
this date. Candidates for local office will be on the ballot this year, as
well as candidates for state supreme court. The Marist vote can have
a strong influence in the outcome of these races, and being an active
voting block gives Marist more priority with government
leaders
on
issues you'd like to see addressed. Voter registration forms are avail-
able at the board of elections as well as many post offices, libraries
and state agency offices throughout the state. You can even down-
load
a registration form by clicking on "Register to Vote" on the State
Board's website

me as

In
fact, I feel that my
education is lacking since I have felt little
decision
in choosing my cours-
es to be as diverse as I would like. We are all almost forced to take reli-
gious education, math, computer science, philosophy and many other
courses that have few options underneath their genre. I might be able to
choose between three courses in philosophy, which all seem to cover the
same material and all have the same goals in making us well educated stu-
dents. Perhaps I am over exaggerating, but
if
I
felt I had some choice,
some serious control of the courses that are required to be taken, I might
have retained more from the course and felt like a well rounded, knowl-
edgeable student.
I strongly urge the committee that will re-evaluate this curriculum,
should that occur in the near
future, to keep one thing in mind: We are
adults. We can make decisions for ourselves.

Senior
Core needs to be presented more clearly to students
As a senior pere at Marist College, I was never sure how the core class-
es and classes for my major were integrated. It was not until my psychol-
ogy capping class that the purpose of the core
was
clarified for me. As a
Marist student, I should feel proud because of my education and how I
excelled in my core classes.
How am I able to do this when I was not made aware of the relationship
between my major and the core? rm not sure whose fault this is;
neither
my advisor nor my professors ever made the connection for me. As an
incoming freshman, the so-called core was never advertised and
explained the way it should have been. Only now, when I look back at my
classes, can I make a solid connection. However, this isn't as great as it
could have been, had I widerstood the meaning of the core while talcing
my classes and its influence in my
future career.
I feel that Marist faculty needs to make this information obvious to all
incoming freshmen. Professors and advisors should be assisting their stu-
dents more. I was never helped very much during my course scheduling
appointments with my advisor, especially when it came to picking the
most beneficial core related to my major.
I feel this assistance is a key aspect that would have helped me, espe-
cially in ~guring out what I want to get my masters in after I graduate this
May.

Core needs to be presented more clearly to

I

Gauging support for LGBTQ Alumnl Association
I
am
writing
this
letter to express my
interest
in garnering support
from
current
Marist students and Marist Alumni who would be interested in
helping
me to create
a.ti
LGBTQ Alumni A1.sociation.
As an openly gay Marist Alumnus, this group would help
legitimatiz.e the
LGBTQ
community at Marist, while also empowering like-minded
indi-
viduals who want Marist to become sensitive to ismies pertaining to sexu-
al minorities. At the heart of this effort is not fragmentation of the larger
Alumni Association, but a willingness to consider expanding
the current
system to groups that consider the specific interests of Latino, African-
American,
Queer,
and
so
on, Red Foxes. Most,
if
not
all, of the major col-
leges / universities listed in "Princeton's Guide to
the
Best 350 Schools in
America" has recognized such Alumni organizations.
Yet, while every Red Fox may be an alumni, not every
Red
Fox shared
the specific experiences of minority students, who through greater visibil-
ity and voice will help Marist develop sentient understanding of the
immutability of difference found throughout America
Finally, consideration of an LGBTQ Alumni Association has taken
shape, from nascent
beginnings
to a collective effort of many, who
want
to develop scholarships and internships for LGBTQ students, as well as
have a didactic effect that will only further notions of the beloved commu-
nity. In the end, it is only through just means that the ends of openness and
an interchange of
ideas
can be actualized or evep become self-evident

Tickets are sold too early at College Activities
College Activities offers great deals on Broadway Shows! Tickets go on
sale at noon, several days before the perfonnance. Oh wait, did I say noon?
That is just what all the advertisements around campus say. I really meant
to say that tickets go on sale arbitrarily. Next time you plan to go with
College Activities to see a Broadway show, you better plan to wait a
long
time for the tickets because they are likely to go on sale at any moment!
For the past
three and a half years, my roommate and I have
been peri-
odically attending College Activities' Broadway trips. We have success-
fully purchased tickets to many shows, even extremely popular ones such
as Aida and Cabaret. We
realize the importance of getting in line early.
This past Wednesday
,
however, when my roommate and
I
arrived in
the
Student Center, there was no line. Because we knew that the tickets would
be
sold at noon, we checked our
mail, looked in our club mail boxes, etc.
At five of noon there was still no line. Finally, we approached the window
and asked for our tickets. The worker explained that tickets were sold out
Though it was just noon, College Activities had taken it upon themselves
to sell all the tickets early.
The student worker at the window explained that "a whole bus load of
people rushed in earlier and formed a line and so we sold early."
I
thought
that tickets were sold at noon on Wednesdays (activity hour) so that
no
one
would have an unfair advantage to the tickets. I have a 9:30 am class and
I work afterward. I had~ get special permission from work so that I could
try
to get the tickets. Had I known that tickets
.
would be sold ~lier, I
would have gone to the Student Center well before I did, or maybe have
gone before class. Maybe next time when tickets are being offered I will
skip my 9:30 a.m. class.
Perhaps next time tickets could be sold somewhere more conducive to
waiting in line. There are ways that College Activities could have resolved
this issue without selling the tickets early. For example
,
someone could
have pointed out that tickets would not be available until noon and that a
line could not be formed until that time.
I strongly believe that College Activities should consider revising their
policy for selling Broadway tickets, especially
if
long lines are such a ter-
rible problem. False advertising only leads people to schedule their days
incorrectly and end up disappointed and angry. Tickets are sold during
,
activity hour for a reason
.
If students realize that tickets will be sold
early,
they will keep coming earlier and earlier each time. This can get out of
hand. Students without early classes will have more of an advantage than
others, which certainly undermines the whole point of a fixed time to sell
these tickets.

Sacred Heart calls "Pioneer

shares the softball field for prac-

Also, for the fans, there is not a
bad seat at Campus Field. With a
steep slope to the seats, everyone
has an unobstructed view of the
action on the field. Not to men-
tion, crystal clear sound quality
coming from close to a dozen
newly installed speakers adjust-

Even with these positives,
Campus Field does have its
drawbacks.

chances to be on Leonidoff's sur-
face, I can say that the grounds
crew here has made it a spectac-
ular surface to play on. Not to
mention the professional mark-
ing of the lines which is a thing
of beauty.
A drawback to Campus Field is
its surface, which is a variation
of the new "fake grass"
turf,
or
FieldPlay, which many facilities
are turning to. The belief is that
the field is better than old-fash-
ioned Astroturf carpet because it
feels more like grass. In the
meantime, grounds crews don't
have to worry about replacing
divots and rough patches
.
Quite frankly, when I walked
on the field Saturday, I was not
impressed. Despite all the
hoopla, the "fake" grass feels
like Astroturf. Its not as soft as
grass and harder to get footing,
in comparison to old-fashioned
carpets. This is something
Leonidoff can do without.

while undergarments are traditionally more
detached from the body. This is mainly attributed
to armor keeping its shape with a model to support
it.
these things have and just the sense of facade."
"The extreme
maleness
of armor is hard to miss
at times," she joked while showing a photograph of
the armor's loin area.
Marcuse also suggested there was more to the
corset than the idea of a male bondage type of rit-
ual. Even though corsets had serious medical prob-
lems connected to them, such as troubles in child-
birth and the actual ribs of a person molding
together, women still found them desirable to wear.
Marcuse believes this still lingers today.
.
"We may not wear these things now, but we have
body disorders," she said. Instead of wearing a
corset, she explained, a person may get laser
surgery.
Marcuse is considering the possibility of contin-
uing the photographs of undergarments. This time,
she may focus on items that relate to birth
-
quite
possibly due tci the upcoming birth of her next
child.
Rose De Angelis, director of the Marist College
Honors Program, felt Marcuse's lecture was a fine
addition to the Honors Lecture Series.
"We're trying to spotlight a scholar in a particu-
lar field," she said. This brings students into direct
contact with a scholar and provides an academic
forum in which student and faculty members par-
ticipate.
The success of the
lecture
was due in large part
to Donise English, director of the Steel Plant Art
Gallery, who served as the main contact person for
Tuesday evening's lecture from a scholar in the

arts.

''Neither were made as art, but both are removed

POUGHKEEPSIE -
Marist Ice Hockey played
its first 'game at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center
Oct. 3, suffering a 4-0 loss to Siena.
Freshman forward Jon Palmer said the team
will work through the early season kinks.
"We worked hard as a team," Palmer said.
"It
was our first game so we had to get all the kinks
out. We will do better next time."
A
strong roster of 29 players, including 10
newcomers, lead the Foxes. The squad is led by
a veteran coaching staff.
The team is currently J,eing coached by Bob
Simmons, now in his third season at Marist.
Coach Simmons and his staff, which includes
assistant coaches Chris Laprade and Paul Lloyd,
predict
a strong season for the hockey team.
Though.the Red Foxes did not score, both
teams
had
33 shots, or goal attempts. Freshman players
Rich Pocock, Jon Palmer, and Doug Engler
contributed to a good amount of the shots. The

Sacred Heart's stadium
possibly a fit for Mari st
By SCOTT MONTESANO
Staff Writer
Its basic, plain and its bleach-
ers look as though they may col-
lapse at any second.
It's
Leonidoff Field,
home
to
Marist's football, soccer and
lacrosse teams.
Since
I
arrived on campus as a
freshman four years ago,
I
have
wondered what it would be like
to have a real stadium on cam-
pus. We have a spectacular recre-
ation center, but an outdoor sta-
·
dium that would be considered
inadequate for many high school
programs.
True, this school has no need
for a 10,000-seat stadium, but a
smaller one would be a great
addition.
Well, I think
I
have finally dis-
covered a facility that would be a
great fit here.
This past Saturday,
I
found the
perfect small college on-campus
stadium,
in
Sacred
Heart
University's Campus Field.
As I was sitting the press box,
preparing to call the Red Foxes
football game against Sacred
Heart for
WMAR I took time to
look out at the stadium and won-
der: why can't we have a field
similar to this at our institution?
Leonidoff Field is one of the
first things people see as they
come to our school. While the
facility itself is probably not

deterring prospective students,
it's not
helping.
On the other
hand, Campus Field at Sacred
Heart is
a
centerpiece for
an
institution trying to grow just as
Marist is.
An actual stadium
Whereas Leonidoff
Field is
only a small set of
bleachers,
an
apparent relic from the pro-
gram's club-level days of the
1970s, Sacred Heart's Campus
Field is
a
well-planned stadium
structure.
The main grandstand, situated
behind the home team's bench, is
a beautiful mixture of brick and
aluminum. The facade (some-
thing Leoni doff doesn't even
have) is mostly red brick giving
it a "homey" feel. The red brick
surrounds the aluminum bleach-
ers, which extend nearly 80-
yards along the sideline and seat
approximately 3,000.
In addition to the main seating
area, Campus Field also sports a
large bleacher section behind the
visitor's bench. Again, some-
thing Leoni doff lacks. This gives
the atmosphere more of a college
feel, with fans for both teams sit-
ting on opposing sides of the
field.
Campus Field also has a pro-
fessional, crushed stone track
that surrounds the field.
It's
amazing that our track and field
team at this school is regularly
amongst the best in the region.
The members have had to over-
come the lack of an on-campus
track for years.

Marist tops Rider 1-0 in OT thriller
BySAM
PINES
Staff
Writer
POUGtIKEEPSIE -
In
an overtime thriller, the
Marist Red Foxes defeated their Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC) rival, the Rider
Broncos, in a 1-0 shutout.
It was the MAAC opener for both squads and the
win for Marist advanced their record to
6-1-1
with a
1-0 record in MAAC competition. The loss contin-
ued the dismal season for the Broncos, placing them
with a record of0-10-0 with a 0-2 record in MAAC
competition.
Freshman Keith Detelj was proud to score the
game
-
winning goal.
"I just wanted our
team
to win and I'm glad I got
the opportunity to score the winning goal," Detelj
said.
Detelj continued his successful freshman cam-
paign, recording his fourth goal and eleventh point
of the season. The goal, assisted by sophomore
midfielder Kyle Nunes, came at the 102:37 point of
play in
the
first overtime.
More than 200 spectators were on hand to kick
off Family Weekend as Marist recorded its first
shutout
of
the season, led by junior goalie Mike
Valenti
.'
"It
feels great to get my first shutout," Valenti said.
''I
give the credit to my defense for helping me out."
Valenti had just two saves in the contest, but it was
enough to pull out the victory.
Coach Bobby Herodes, in his eighth season as
Marist head coach, was also pleased with the win
.
"It
would have been a huge disappointment if we
did not come out of this game with a win,
"
Herodes
said.
