Staff Writer
Bulletin
boards throughout
Marist College will soon be lined
with
campaign posters urging
students to vote from Monday,
Feb. 24 through Wednesday, Feb.
26.
This year; voters will decide on
a
new student body president;
class officers (who have to re-run
every year), four resident sena-
tors, and two commuter senators.
The candidates have yet to be
announced, but declarations of
candidacy are due Friday, Feb. 7.
Although
running for election
is
open
to most students on cam-
pus, there
are
a few requirements
in
order
to qualify. Linda Crane,
elections commissioner, said that
there is one thing that is not tol-
erated by the student govern-
ment.
"Just about anyone can run,"
she said
.
"You cannot have any
major offenses on campus,
th«~mgh."
Crane said that there were three
informational meetings held for
those interested in becoming
candidates.
"Candidates have to attend at
least one of the three infonna-
tional meetings," she said.
Hopefuls must also display an
excellent academic standing at
Marist and have at least a 2.5
grade point average.
To qualify for senate, students
must also meet some simple
requirements.

'The Simpsons' producer to
lecture at Marist College
by Flora Lui
Staff Writer
Mike
Reiss,
prodµcer of over
·
200 episodes of "The Simpsons,"
will present an e~tertaining lec-
ture titled, "How to Write for
Television"
on
Monday,
February 10th at 9:00p.m. in the
Nelly
.
Goletti
Theatre.
Admission is free to general
public
and
Marist
students.
Tickets
can be
picked up at the
Office of College Activities.
Reiss,
a four time Emmy
Award winner will talce his audi-
ence into an in-depth view of his
career in the entertainment
world. He will discuss the cur-
rent state of the television pro-
gramming, illustrate with his
characteristic wit why the televi-
sion has declined and explain
methods to bring the medium
back
fo
life .
.
His audience will
get a glimpse at a few rare video
clips and
behind
the scenes sto-
ries
on
the creation of "The
Simpsons." Reiss explains how
the show.
As a producer, Reiss is also the
co-creator of "The Critics," a
Comedy Central animated series
which stars Jon Lovitz; "Queer
Duck," which is on Showtime,
and his most recent, "Hard-
Drinkin' Lincoln."
The Harvard graduate has won
an ACE award for his writing
and production work on "It's a
Garry Shandling Show." His tel-
evision credits include "Alf,"
Eddie Murphy's ''The PJ's," and
"The Tonight Show with Johnny

award-winning mystery writer as

books.
you must be a resident, and to be
on the commuter senate you
must be a commuter;• she said.
Student body president,
according to Crane, is not nor-
mally someone who is new to the
system
of
student government~
"The student body
president
is
usually someone who is already
familiar with
the
way things are
run in student government," she
said.
Appointed positions, such as
the Vice President of Academics,
are not determined until the stu-
dent body president is
elected.
"He or she will usually send
around a
phone
mail telling stu-
dents that applications
are
now
being accepted," she said. "That
does not come until after he or
she is elected,
though."
Although student government
is a very popular program to be a
part of, some elected positions
do go unfilled from year to year.
"The class president will
appoint people to positions with-
in their classes that have not been
fifled:' she said.
It is too late to run for office
this semester, but students can
have their say by voting for the
can~idate that they think will
most represent their ideas.
Voting will be held on Feb. 24
and 25 from 11 a.m

Annual Rush Week
Campus Sororities recruit new sisters
by Ali Reina
,
Staff Writer
Alpha Sigma Tau, Kappa
Kappa Gamma, Kappa Lambda
Psi, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and
Sigma Gamma Ro held their
annual Rush this past week,
which had a turn out of 40
hopeful members.
Stephanie Pierce, vice presi-
dent of recruitment and Sigma
Gamma Ro member, said the
quota was set at eight girls for
each sorority.
Some activities
run
by the
vice president included coordi-
nating rush rooms
1
and taking
pictures of the girls to attach to
their applications.
Alpha Sigma Tau held many
activities for the recruits,
according to sorority member,
Kaitlin Rogan. Some of these
included a formal,
Parent's
Weekend brunch, day trips, and
apple picking. As a group AST
do final and midterm munchies
as well.
All the sororities are recog-
nized by Marist College as
legitimate organizations and
most participate in community
service
.
AST's philanthropy is
holding a dinner to raise money
for the American Cancer
Society
,
and Sigma Gamma Ro
members volunteer at the
Buelah Baptist Church running
a soup kitchen and also mentor
with the Liberty Partnership
.
All the sororities usually
come together to host a blood
drive and work together during
Harvest Fest; which takes place
in October.
Joining a sorority has many
perks according to Rogan,
including support for school,
activities, and family.
"You meet so many people
and develop a lot of close
friendships," said Rogan. "It's
pretty cool that everyone is so
different and we can all come
together ~s one and are proud of
the same things."
Pierce said she believes in the
same ideas and that sororities
build friendships.
''Networking and building
relationsl1ips is important," said
Pierce.
Greek Week, which usually
talces place in Apri
l
, is another
activity that brings the fraterni-
ties and sororities together by
providing competitive games.
Participating in sororities artd
fraternities will give the partici-
pants three priority point
s
, and
if you are an officer there is the
possibility that you will receive
five points.

Studeqts and staff were forced to
leave the warm, friendly con-
fines of Donnelly Hall and enter
the frigid, Arctic ~emperatures of
the Marist College catnpus at
about 11 :00 a.m. when a bad
smoke detector head caused a
fire alarm to go off. The
Fairview
Fire
Department
responded, and once the situa-
tion was resolved, students and
staff made their way back into
Donnelly to begin the thawing-
out process.
Wednesday

Usually a quiet day on the intox-
ication front, Wednesday turned
up one victim in Champagnat.
At about 2: 15 a.m., a student's
motor skills were observed to be
almost non-existent when trying
to s~ipe into the dormitory
.
He
was not in a bad enough state to
be sent to St. Francis Hospital,
so he was allowed to sober up in
the lounge area before retiring
for the night.
Thursday
1/30
The watchful eye, or in this case
ear, of the Champagnat entry
officers turned up another alco-
hol
victim
at about I I: 17 p.m. A
student attempted to swipe into
the dorm with a backpack, but
Security noticed distinct clink-
ing sounds
coming
from the bag,
leading him to believe the stu-
dent wasn't exactly coming
home from a late night of study-
ing at the library. After opening
the bag, three 40's were found
and promptly confiscated.
Friday

Champagnat was the hotbed for
illegal activity this
·
week, and
Friday was no exception. At
12:50 a.m. an on-duty R.D.
noticed the pungent odor of
cannabis sativa. Security was
called onto the scene, and they
found one student smoking mar-
ijuana. A small amount of pot
and a pipe were confiscated.

After failing to properly swipe
her ID card, Security made her
sober up in the
lounge
area,
while
the
friends were allowed
to go back to their rooms.
Friday
1/31
An altercation was stopped by
security before it got out of hand
in the Donnelly parking lot at
about 11
:00
p.m. An intoxic~ted
student's
belligerence
led to a
shouting
match
with a cab driver
that had
just dropped him off.
Security intervened and sent the
agitated student on his way and
the cab driver drove off before
any further problems occurred.
The original cause of the argu-
ment
was unknown.
Friday
1131
An unregistered visitor blew by
the entry desk in Leo Hall at
about 11 :30 p.m. as other stu-
dents opened the door. Security
and the R.D. were in hot pursuit
of the mischievous sprinter.
They tracked him down and
found him in a student's room
along with four other unregis-
tered guests.
Empty cans of
Budweiser and Busch were
found as well as several full cans
of Budweiser, which were con-
fiscated. The guests were sent
off campus and told not to come
back.
The next ~oming at
11 :20 a.m. though, the four
guests were found back in the
Leo
lounge.
This time the Town
of Poughkeepsie Police were
called and the guests were
arrested for trespassing. Maybe
next time they'll fuid a better
hiding spot than the wide-open
lounge.

down to the fourth floor lounge.
A printer found in the trash was
also thrown. No injuries were
reported, but the vandals are still

Sunday

It
was a new day, but that didn't
mean there would be no more
alcohol-related incidents.
An
unauthorized party was broken
up in Upper West Cedar W-
block at 11 :30 p.m. Eleven non-
student guests were escorted off
of campus, but no alcohol was
found on the premises
.
Sunday
2/2
The party raids continued, this
time
in
the Y-block. This party
was broken up at 12: lO'a.m., and
six non-students were escorted
off campus
.
Seven Marist stu-
dents were also at the party and
sent to their own dorms.
Apparently the partiers all were
conscious of the calories they
were taking in and opted for a
wide array of light beers. Twelve
cans of Bud Light, three cans of
Coors Light, and two bottles of
Miller Light were all confiscat-
ed. While some argue it tastes
great, I think it's less filling.
Sunday
2/2
A Sheahan gathering was also
broken up. At about 1: 17 a.m.
the RD spotted some alcohol
consumption
and
called
Security. Apparently, the party
was nearing its conclusion any-
ways as no alcohol was found.
However, an empty bottle of
Jack Daniels and a large quanti

uncovered.

past security, but just as the last
brief already
proved,
that doesn't
always
mean
you're in the clear.
An R.A. spotted a sick student in
the
bathroom
complaining of
stomach problems. The stomach
problems were a result of heavy
consumption of
beverages
of an
alcoholic nature. The student
was not
in
bad
enough shape to
go to the hospital, but she
sobered up under supervision
before retiring for the night.
Sunday

As the second half of the beer
pong season gets underway, the
drinking game phenomenon has
spread ~nto Champagnat. This is
the first ever report of competi-
tive action in Champagnat in my
·
tenure here, and I'm still
baffled
how a tabJe fit in the small con-
fines of the freshman dorm. But
the feat was short-lived as
Security broke up the match at
3: 10 a.m. The table' was confis-
cated along with empty cans of
Coors Light and a small
amount
of Captain Morgan's rum.

President

praises
Columbia's crew at
memorial
service
Editor's note: The following is the text of President
Bush 's address at the Feb. 4 memorial service in Houston,
Tx.
THE PRESIDENT: Their mission was almost complete,
and we
lo
st
them so close to home. Tue men and women
of the Columbia had journeyed more than 6 million miles
and were
minutes
away from arrival and reunion
.
The loss was sudden and terrible, and for their families,
the grief is heavy. Our nation shares in your sorrow and in
your pride. And today we remember not only one moment
of tragedy, but seven lives of
great
purpose and achieve-
ment.
To
leave
behind Earth and air and
gravity
is an ancient
dream of
humanity
.
For these
seven,
it was a dream ful
-
filled.
Each
of these astronauts had the daring and- disci-
pline required of their
calling.
Each of them knew that
great e
nd
eavors
are inseparable from
great
risks. And
each
of them accepted those
risks
willingly,
even
joyfully, in
the cause of discovery,
Rick Husband was a boy of four when he first thought
of being an astronaut. As
a
mat)., and having become an
astronaut, he found it was
even
more important to love his
family and serve his Lord. One of Rick's favorite hymns
was, "How Great Thou Art," which offers these words of
praise: "I see the stars. I hear the mighty thunder. Thy
power throughout the universe displayed
.
"
David Brown was first drawn to the stars
as
a
littl
e
boy
with a telescope in his back
yard.
He
admired astronauts,
but, as he said,
"I
thought they were movie stars
.
I
thought I was kind of
a
normal kid." David
grew
up to be
a
physician, an
aviator
who could land on the deck of
a
carrier
in the middle of the night, and a
shuttle astronaut.
His brother asked him
several
weeks ago what would
happen if
something
went wrong on their mission.
David
replied, "This
program will
go
on.
"
Michael Anderson
always
wanted to fly
planes,
and rose
to the rank of
Lt. Colone
l
in the Air
Force.
Along the way,
he became a role model
-
especially for
his two daugh-
ters and for the many
children
he spoke
to
in schools. He
said to them,
"Whatever
you want
to
be in
life, you're
training for it now." He also told his minister,
"If
this
thing doesn't come out
right,
don't worry about"me, I'm
jU,St going
on higher."
.
Laurel Salton
Clark
was a
physician and a
flight sur-
geon
who loved adventure, loved her
work,
loved her hus-
band and her son.
A
friend who heard Laurel
speaking
to
Mission
Control
said,
"There
was
a
smile in her
voice."
Laurel
conducted some
of the
experiments
as
Columbia
orbited the
Earth,
and described seeing new life emerge
from a
tiny
cocoon
.
"Life," she said, "continues
in
a
lot of
places, and life is
a
magical
thing."
None of our
astronauts
traveled
a
longer
path
to space
than Kalpana Chawla. She left India as
a student,
but she
would see the nation
of
her birth, all of
it,
from hundreds
of miles above
.
When the
sad
news
reached
her home
towp,
an
administrator at
her high
school reoalled
,
"She
always said she wanted to reach
the stars. She
went there,
and beyond." Kalpana's native
country
mourns her today,
and so does her
adopted
land
.
Ilan Ramon
also
flew
above
his home
,
the land of
Israel. He
said, "The
quiet that
envelop
e
s space
makes the
beauty
even
mo1:e
powerful.
And I only hope
that the
quiet can one day
spread to
my
country."
Ilan
was
a patri-
qt
;
~e devoted
son of a
holocaust
survivor
,
served
his
c~~try
in two wars.
"Ilan
,
"
said his
wife
,
Rona,
"left
us
at his
peak
moment,
in his
favorite place,
with
people
he
loved."
The Columbia's pilot was Commander
Willie McCool
,
whom friends knew as the most
steady
and dependable
of
men
.
In Lubbock today
th
e
y'r
e
thinkin
g
back to the
Eagle
Scout
who
became a distinguished Naval
officer
and a
fearless test pilot. One friend
remembers
Willie this
way
:
"He
was blessed, and we were blessed to know him."
Our whole nation was blessed to have such men
and
women serving in our space program. Their loss
is
deeply
felt,
especia
ll
y
in this place, where so many
of you called
them friends.
The
people of NASA
are
being tested
once
again.
In
your
grief,
you are responding as
your friends
would have wished
-
with focus,
professionalism, and
unbroken faith in the mission of this
agency.
Captain
Brown was
correct:
America's space
program
will
go
on
.
This cause of
exploration
and discovery is not
an opt
i
on
we
choose;
it is a desire written in the human heart
.
We
are that
part
of creation
which seeks
to
understand
all cre-
ation. We find the best
among
us, send them forth into
unmapped darkness, and pray they
will
return.
They go in
peace for all mankind, and all mankind is
in
their debt.
.
Yet,
_
some
~xplo!ers
do not return. And
the
loss
settles
,
unfairly on a few. The farnili
_
es
here today shared in the
courage
of those they loved. But now they must
face
life
and
grief
without them
.
The
sorrow is
lonely
;
but
you are
not alone. In
time, you
will find
·
comfort and the grace to
see
you through. And in
God's
own time, we
can pray
that
the day of
your
reunion will
come
.
And to
the children
who miss
your
Mom
or
Dad
so
much today,
you
need
to
know, they love
you; and that
love will always
be
with
you
.
They were
proud of you
.
And
you qan
be proud of them
for
the rest of
your
life.
The final days of their own lives were spent lookin
g
down upon this
Earth
.
And now, on
every continent,
in
every
land they
could
see, the names
of
these
astronauts
are
known
and
remembered. They will
always
have an
honored
place
in the memory of
this country.
And
today
I
offer the
respect
and
gratitude of
the
people of
the
United
States.
May God
bless you
all.

College students are worst insomniacs
by
Megan Lizotte
Features Editor
According to a national
study conducted in Athens,
Ohio, 77 percent of college
students have difficulty falling
asleep and are the most recent
target facing eating disorders.
Adults, ranging from ages
18-29 are affected most,
demographically, with 30-60
year-olds running a close sec-
ond.
The study, published in the
2002
National
Sleep
Foundation's
"Sleep
in
America Poll," stated that 58
percent of American adults do
suffer from insomnia.
It also indicated that college
students often suffer from
insomnia because of their
varying sleep schedules dur.,
ing the week and on the week-
ends. Sunday appears to be
"insomnia
night"
and
Mondays can be problematic
while
.
the body is still trying to
recover from weekend sleep
patterns, while adjusting to
the
weekday
patterns.
Wednesday is the most effi-
cient day of the week for
sleeping. By this point, the
body adjusts and is able to
rest.
According to Michael
Hanek,
MD.,
of
the
Counseling
Psychological
Services at Hudson
Health
Center at Ohio University,

Drink coasters serve new purpose
New way to aid detection of date rape
by
Megan Lizotte
Features Editor
Men and women across the
nation can drink easier these
days. The
Drink
Safe Coaster,
developed by Drink Safe
Technologies, will aid in the
detection
of elicit 'date rape'
drugs
,
such as GHB and
Ketamine in beverages. Until
now, the odorless, colorless
drug was impossible to detect.
This do-it-yourself test con-
sists of a four-inch cardboard
coaster that fits into a pocket
or a purse. To use the product,
people can slip it under their
beverage and drip some of the
drink on one of the two test
areas.
If
the spot turns blue,
the drink has been dosed with
the drug.
The U.S. Department of
Justice deems 'date tape' as
one of the fastest growing sex-
ual assault crimes in conjunc-
tion with drug usage. These
date rape drugs are most pop-
ular in bars and at private par-
ties.
There have been mixed feel-
ings by drug distributors and
experts regarding what the
actual usage of the product
would be. According to an
article in The New York
Times, "Realistically, at a
party, are you going to have
these things with you and test
your drink with them? The
likelihood is you are not."
The
.
coasters sell for about
$.75 to
.95
cents each.
Drink
Safe Distributors Director,
John Allison stated fhat many
colleges and universities have
already placed orders for the
product. Initially, the compa-
ny marketed the coasters to
alcohol companies,
but
stated
that the distributors couldn't
have their product associated
with crime. They were afraid
it would be bad publicity.

"They take work and worry
with them to bed, when they
need to be kept separate,"
Hanek said. In order to have a
good night's rest, people must
stop worrying before they go
to bed.
In the case of college stu-
dents, classes can be any-
where from the early morning
hours to the evening. The
same person
can
have an 8am
class and a 6:30pm class. The
time in between is most likely
spent catching up for other
classes, catching up
on
rest, or
taking care of daily activities
such as going to the gym, eat-
ing, and
running
errands.
There are different stressors
for
different
people.
"College life does not allow
for you to go to
bed
early
because
it's an active
lifestyle
and you
can
have a roommate
who can have a totally differ-
ent schedule than you,"
according to Stephen Nocera,
a sophomore here at
Marist.
"Plus everyone goes out dur-
ing the
week and on weekends
so sleep is last on the list."
With this in mind, people
who lack enough sleep are
more likely to quarrel, overeat
and experience stress, accord-
ing to the poll. So, your best
bet, make sure you take care
of yourself first.
If
you
don't,
you are putting yourself at
risk,
and developing
sleep
habits
that
are
often hard to
break in
the
end, accoriding to
the
study.

Great Pumpkin makes

brilliant
return with new band, CD
Corgan,
Chamberlin
pay homage to as they
blaze
new
trails
in Zwan
by
Matt
Dunning
A&E Editor
Zwan
Mary Star of the Sea
It's simply impossible not to
compare Billy Corgan's new
brainchild, Zwan, to that other
band he used to sing for,
Slashing Punk Kids, or some-
thing like that. But, who honest-
ly remembers that band, any-
way?
Jokes aside,
Mary Star of the
Sea begs the same question we
all
asked
ourselves
when
Audioslave emerged from the
flannel-strewn rubble that used
to be the 90's: How will the new
stack up to the old?
In
Audioslave's case, the jury is still
out. Zwan, howevi::r, will have
few, if any problems winning
over Pumpkins loyalists. Indeed,
most of
Mary...
sounds
as
if
it
could have made a double album
out
of
Siamese
Dream.
"Heartsong", "Declarations of
Faith", and the simply beautiful
"Yeah" will leave you wonder-
ing, "When was the last time I
tried to get all the way through
Melancholy and the Infinite
Sadness?"·
Still the reigning
champion
of post-adolescent
misery, Billy
Corgan
uses much
of
Mary
... 's
57
plus minutes to
vent what has, over the years,.
shown itself to be a limitless
wealth of frustration and apathy.
"Desire" drags itself through the
mud as
Corgan
sulks "Fade
away, it's all we'll do. Fade away
from the truth." The 14-minute
"Jesus I
/
Mary Star of the Sea"
bubbles and churns as well as it
.
croons, and Corgan is at his
moody best with the line
"Everything
just
feels like rain."
Mary Star of the Sea does, in
fact, sound like a Smashing
Pumpkins record more often
than it doesn't, but there are ele-
ments at work in Zwan that sug-
gest that the similarities are as
unintentional as they are abun-
dant. The most striking and ce'r-
tainly most foreign of those ele-
ments is the vague sense of opti-
mism that permeates the album.
The very first line of "Settle
Down" declares, "Whatever I can
do, I will,
'cause
I'm good like
that." The real shocker, though,
is in the folky twang of "Come
With Me." For a grand finale,
Zwan abandon their electronics-
driven amniotic bubble for
acoustic guitars, a down-home
beat, and yes, even a harmonica.
Suffice to say, some purists
may have a problem with the
departure from the wall-to-wall
gloom that saturated just about
every Pumpkins record. You can
even catch Billy Corgan smiling
on camera for the first time in:
nearly a decade if you watch the
video for "Honestly" close
enough. Though it may seem
Strange
.at
first, fans are likely to
welcome Corgan back into the
spotlight, even if he left his
"ZERO" t-shirt at home.
Marist Theatre
kicks
spring season off this
weekend with
The
Dining Room
Ten-person ensemble
drives
A.R. Gumey's modem classic
by
Jason Shaw
Staff Writer
Starting Thursday, February
6,
the Marist College Council of
Theatre A!ts is presenting The
Dining Room, their first show of
the spring semester. Written by
A.R. Gurney, The Dining Room
is a funny, insightful, and often
touching look at the finely pol-
ished upper class as they experi-
ence a constantly changing
world.
The play is a series of short
episodes spotlighting the proper
and snobbish residents of
a<
din-
ing room. With perpetual charm
and wit, Gurney gives us snip-
pets of the world of
manners,
social scandals, and
expensive
dinner parties as it
faces
the
modem, real world problems it
was created to guard against. As
the characters deal with such
things as adultery, divorce,
homosexuality, and Alzheimer's
disease, we get a better look the
world inside the dining room,
and the
world
outside.
Lily Mercer, the play's director,
believes that Gurney's
story
is
one for the
ages.
She
said,
"Though A.R. Gurney wrote The
Dining Room
almost
a quarter of
a century ago, it
is
as relevant
today as it was then. The dia-
logue is timeless and the themes
universal: Jealousy,
greed,
lus~,
and with a touch
a
despair. Yet
through
it
all
there
remains
humor, compassion, and love-all
of which provide the balm we
need to survive our wounds."
The play's actors-a total of ten
students-b~nd together for a
team effort in a story with no
central characters. Each of the
actors are given the chance to
play five or more roles, and get
to participate in a number Qf
scenes that vary in theme; pace,
and tone. "The Dining Room is a
wonderful
opportutiity
for
actors," said senior and MCCTA
veteran Alexis Valianos. "Not
only do we have the experience
of being in an ensemble play, but
we have a story that pushes our
abilities to their limits. In one
scene we're an old woman or an
adulterous wife, and in the next
we're five-year-olds."
Alexis, along with fellow cast
members Caitlin Abram, Ali
Aguiar, Kristin Amundson, Brian
Apfel, Lesley Henderson, Ed
Kasche, Jay Mazloom, and John
Milius, talce the stage
this
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
night at
8 p.m. and this Sunday at
2 p.m. in the Nelly Goletti
Theater. Tickets are $3 for stu-
/
dents, $5 for faculty, alumni, and
senior citizens, and $7 for the
general public. You

Moore's
Bowling For
Columbine a
strike
by
Jennifer Goldsmith
Staff Writer
Michael Moore's
Bowling for
Columbine is a standout amid the
sea of Hollywood's usual petty
entertainments, and it comes as
no surprise that Moore has
received waves of recognition
for his work. The documentary
leers down the barrel of
America's gun-happy tradition
and its correlation to what Moore
dubs "a culture of
fear,''
present-
ing a montage of multi-media
snip-its with a
tight aim
on our
country's flaws. From South
Park clips and Chris Rock to a
crusade against K-Mart with
Columbine survivors,
Bo~ling ...
grapples with numerous dimen-
sions of America's violent per-
sonality, from the humorous to
the solemn. Quite a heady task,
one would think. But the film
succeeds in juggling its contro-
versies, and sustains its opinions
with fact.
Watching is painful, at times
(most notably the security videos.
and telephone calls from inside
Columbine
High on the day of
the massacre), but therein lay its
necessity, not to mention its rari-
ty. Moore does not allow his film
to sink to morose levels for too
long•his purpose is, after all, still
to
entertain,
and he follows
through
wholeheartedly.
Bowling... grabs you by the
heartstrings, wraps them around
your mind, and squeezes out
your every assumption. What
dribbles down from beneath the
cranial
tourniquet
Moore
promptly serves back to you, his
sardonic wit a refreshing brealc
from the levity of his purpose.
This film is, oddly
enough,
a
mass-media creation which
points a
.
finger at the mass-
media, blaming shows like
is unable to pull off
this amateur
script.
I
am
undecided as
to if
Martin Lawrence has
simply
been
type-cast to
this
type
of
role,
or
if
he
just
has no
respect
whatsoever
for
his reputation
as
an
actor.
Steve
Zahn
and the
rest
of the
supporting cast deliver
horrific
performances • which
were
at most times,
difficult to
watch.
National
Security was certain-
"Cops" and even the six o'clock
news for instilling this country
with an unjustified sense of
fear.
The daily propaganda lures us so
easily into its web of fear that
often times, Moore points out,
we don't even know what we are

And when we are left without a
common boogeyman, for fear
of

nothing

each other, and keep the gun
loaded in the nightstand just in
case.
In a sense, the entire film is
predicated on paradox., begin-
ning the moment Moore admits
to being a lifetime member of the
NRA. The film, then, though
extremely
political, remains in a
curious flux of the unexpected:
painting Marilyn Manson as a
sympathetic character and Dick
Clark as,
well
... his first name. In
a
country where chicken-finger
wielding first
graders
are seen as
murderers-to-be, yet banks in
Michigan distribute firearms as a
gift-with-purchase,
it
seems the
mixed messages are begging for
comment.
Bowling... certainly
has
things
to say,
though
it
probes more than it preaches.
Moore does not feign to have all
the answers.
The
true merit
of
this film lies in its
ability
to
res-
onate in the mind of the
viewer,
persuading
him to seek answers
for himself.
This is not a film to watch
while attempting to escape reali-
ty for 120 minutes. This is not a
film to
watch
if you truly believe
ignorance is
bliss and wish to
remain happily uninformed.
Bowling...
is,
however, a film
that has

Letters to the Editor: Humarists, the Mosaic and more
'
Letter to the Editor of the Circle:
Last week in
The Circle,
Mr.
Kent Smith wrote a scathing letter in
response to the artwork and poetry in the campus literary magazine,
the Mosaic. I wouldlike to take the opportunity to respond to this
gentleman's letter.
First, my name is
Ann
Metz and I am the chief editor of the Mosaic.
I
have had the pleasure and (at times the pain) of this responsibility
for a year and a half. The magazine was only 20 pages when I was
elected my sophomore year. The
binding
was primitive, with two
staples to hold the pages together. The photography came from one
person. When I
asked my friends if they had read
the Mosaic, most of them asked, "What is that?"
No one had any idea that our campus offered such a publication.
If
they were aware, most students chose to submit to other magazines
off campus or online because the Mosaic was not considered a
serious medium for artistic expression.
As Professor Tad.Richards said to me at the time,
"It does not
attract the best poets
on
campus."
1h
short,
I
had my work cut out for me.
I
wanted to make the mag-
azine into something where people would not
be
ashamed to submit
their work.
Now, almost two years after I initially took charge, the magazine
has not only doubled in size, but also it has color. Furthermore, the
·
writing represents some of the strongest
I
have ever seen.
-I
am saying all of this to point out that the only time ANYONE
(besides those who submit ai;id work on it) remotely pays attention to
the Mosaic is when there are things in it that are not politically cor-
rect. Hey, what aboutthe non-controversial aspect of the publication,
or would that ju~t be too boring for students to read about in
The
Circle?
After
all, it's a given cliche in journalism-'if it bleeds, it
leads' and
I guess this is no exception at Marist.
It seems the students would rather see something dragged through
the mud instead of recognizing accomplishment.
For those who think art should be "tasteful;' all
I
can say to that is
"tasteful" to whom? Tasteful to just those who share Mr. Smith's
point of view? What kind oflearning are we promoting on this cam-
pus when only one point of view is valid? The point of a liberal arts
education is to learn to think outside the box and consider the world
throughmultiple perspectives.
''Thinking outside the box" and looking at the world through a var-
ious lenses does not mean you have to agree, however. Maybe Mr.
Smith would be happier in a Communist society where if one speaks
out against the government, he or she faces exile or execution.
The freedom of speech is part of what makes America so great and
as
an Americ!h, everyone has the ~ t to be heard, even ifi
yt,Ur
particular views don't match up witlisorneone else's.
Now, as for
Mr.
Smith's accusation that "we are in a world where
if someone calls you a name , you will do what he or she says." A
HUGE misconception on his part. First, I chose to put the poem in
before Sean Macomber EVER sent me the coward email.
In
fact, I
held the poem back precisely because I wanted to check out other
peoples' reactions and obtain faculty support.
If you don't believe me, I u,rge you to call
Dr.
Don Anderson and
Dr. Richard Grinnell in the English
Department.
Secondly, I have
been called "bitch," antisocial,
crazy,
ugly,
and
last spring I was even
told
by
a former friend I "don't fit the Marist ideal" and I have "too
many problems." Believe me, I have a skin thicker than a porcupine
1
s
at this stage and it would take A LOT more than the word coward to
make me print a poeml did not beleive had artistic merit. (And by
that, I do NOT mean that I agree with the subject matter, BUT as
a work of art it deserves to be in the Mosaic).
For those of you out there still not satisfied with what I have to say,
I suggest you start protesting more important matters-such as the
given fact that the President is sending hundreds of thousands of
young men to
be
slaughteted in an imminent war
with
Iraq.
Hundreds of thousands of people will die, among them innocent
women and children. Or how about the Patriot Act, passed by con-
gress in the wake of 9/ 11, which abridges some of our most
fi..lndamental rights?
How come no one is up in arms over these things? We're talking
life and death! Doesn't that seem just the tiniest
bit more
important
than a few pictures and a couple of poems?

Ann
Metz

Dear opinion editor,
When the most recent edition of
the Marist Literary Arts maga-
zine, the Mosaic, was released
just two weeks ago a shockwave
was sent around campus. I have
talked to several people, some
close friends, who were offended
by the material it contained.
Most particularly offensive was a
poem about date
rape
'by Sean
Macomber. The poem, written in
the first person present tense,
brings the reader directly into the
absurd and horrific mind of a
rapist. It would take a very cold
person indeed to not be offended
Dear Opinion Editor:
I am writing this in response to

in the Jan.
30 issue of The Circle written by

Ml:.

about a skit in the Dec.
l

Humarist show, which offended
him.
I am both a member of The
Hurnarists and a participant in
the sketch in question, and am
writing this letter on behalf of all
of The Humarists.
First, I would like to clear up
some things for those of you who
did not see the show. This bit
openly offensive, with no regard
for what hurt it might cause read-
ers. What I care about is that it
showed no guts.
My problem is not
that
the
Mosaic published the offensive
material it did. While I do think
some of its writers have serious
emotional issues, bordering on
disorders,
I
will never take issue
with a writer
simply
for express-
ing his or
herself.
My problem is with writers
who, using freedom of expres-
sion and the evils of
censorship
as a crutch, publish openly offen-
sive material and then do not
afford
their
critics the same free-
dom of expression.
I
believe writers have certain
rights.
I do riot, however, consid-
by this narrator's thoughts.
However, the author should not
be confused for the narrator, and
the sentiments of that narrator
should most certainly not be con-
fused for the sentiments of the
author. The narrator is a fiction-
al character created by the
author, in this case to il1ustrate a
very important point.
Some have gone so far as to say
that the editors should have cen-
sored this material
on
the basis of
its being offensive.
However
being offensive is not reason
enough to censor, because so
many things are offensive to at

only a matter of seconds
and absolutely no
violence
was
acted out on stage or even dis-
cussed.
It
was merely a sight gag.
One person was dressed like a
priest, another like a little boy
with bloody underwear. We only
used it as a way to introduce our
disclaimer, which warns the
audience of the offensive nature
of some of our material.
It was so short that anyone who
came to the show even slightly
late would have missed it entire-
ly, and it does not appear on our
official tape of the show, because
er hypocrisy to be one of
them.
The writers of
the magazine
should have said the following:
these poems represent what we
believe, and we are not afraid to
take criticism for the expression
of those beliefs. These poems
represent what we believe, arid
if
you do not agree
with
us, this is
where you can reach us. These
poems
represent
what
we
believe, but we would
be
happy
to listen to any critique you may
have to offer.
Instead the magazine
went
on
and on at every turn about how
censorship is wrong, about how
they have a
right
to print
whatev-
er they want and about how, basi-
cally, readers
have
no
right
to
criticize. That, my friends,
is
least someone.
The objection might be raised
though, that along with being
offensive the topic
is
also irrele-
vant.
If
the topic were irrelevant
then certainly such offensive
material would be blocked on the
basis that it helps no one and
offends everyone.
Unfortunately, the problem of
rape is all too relevant. A num-
ber of polls have shown that 25%
of college women surveyed were
victims of rape or attempted
rape, and that 85% of rapes on

In

you
called this sketch a

with you,
it

Our intention
is
never to offend
anyone, but the nature of some
hypocrisy.
It's
also cowardice. And it gives
the
impression that all writers are
gutless -
that we are willing
to

ples we

World
Champions, children visited Pee
Wee's Playhouse every Saturday
morning
,
and Marist's Women's
BasketbaJl team had collected
ten wins to begin !he month of
February, a feat that they have
not been able to replicate in six-
teen-seasons since.
That is, until now.
In their first game of February
on Sunday afternoon the Red
Foxes defeated the Loyola
Greyhounds 66-45, improving
their record to 10-9 on the sea-
son, and they did so in convinc-
ing fashion
.
By halftime the out-
come of the game was already
simply a
formality.
The
Greyhounds had only managed
to sink .three field goals on twen-
ty-five attempts in the twenty-
minute period thanks to a suffo-
cating Red Fox defense. At the
half Marist held a 27-10 advan-
tage and cruised to a victory.
The Red Foxes have now won
three games in a row, the first
such streak this season.
Head
Coach Brian Giorgis attributes
balanced contributions from
every Fox as the key to their
defensive
success.
"We've had great first halves in
these games," Giorgis said. "A
big key is that everyone is con-
tributing
.
We're getting a lot of
people in and people don't have
to play as many consecutive min-
utes so people don't get as quick
.
We're taking
people
out of their
rhythm in.what they want to do."
In
Marist's last three wins the
Foxes have allowed only fifty-
three combined first
half
points,
and are averaging an advantage
of over twelve points at the half.
The Greyhounds missed forty-
eight field goal attempts in aJl,
and were forced into twenty-two
turnovers.
Their senior stars,
Jennifer Mitchell and Katie
Netherton scored just four com-
bined points shot just 1-14 from
the floor.
The defensive game plan was
not, however, to take away singu-
lar players, it was to suffocate
Loyola's normally comfortable
style of play.
Giorgis said
defending
the post was important
to their defensive blueprints.
"Mainly we tried to take away
their inside game," he said.
"Sometimes we say 'this kid is
this and we can't let them do any-
.
thing, but we just reacted to what
they did, and we doubled down
on the big kids. It was a great job
of post defense by (Kristin)
Keller, Mo (Maureen Magarity),

Tifty,
and

points, doubling her team's total
at the time and igniting the Red
Foxes' attack.
Giorgis credits his small for-
ward for getting the offense
rolling, and his trainer for getting
his small forward healthy nearly
a week earlier than expected.
"A big key is that
everyone is
contribut-
ing. We 're getting a lot of people in and
people don 't have to play as many con-
secutive minutes so people don't get as
quick. We 're taking people out of their
rhythm in what they
want
to do. "
(Sullivan)."
While the defense rolled early
and only gained momentum
through the half, the Red Fox
offense sputtered out to a slow
start.
That is, until Stephanie
Delpreore made an unexpected
appearance in the game coming
off the bench at the first official's
time out. "Instant Offense," as
she was nicknamed freshman
year, scored Marist's next four

"A lot of times we seem to have
trouble scoring early

" he said.
"She (Delplreore) came off and
made three out of four shots in
the first half and really helped
spark us offensively

real hard in rehab and Jen

game lead on Canisius and are
just one game behind both
Niagara and Siena for third
-
place. With the current format
for the MAAC tournament, the
team that finishes first gets a bye
through to the semifinals, while
teams two through four receive a
bye into the quarterfinals. This
year, more than any other for the
MAAC
,
placing in the top four is
crucial to a team's chances of
winning the tournament.
Giorgis said success this com-
ing weekend will be important
for his team's chances.
"This weekend is huge for us
,
especially with going out West
for the Canisius and Niagara trip
next week
,
" He said. "We run
into a Fairfield team that's very
hot and obviously Siena, who is
the preseason number one
favorite who has their whole
starting five back."
Following Friday night's meet-
ing with Fairfield five of the
Foxes last seven games of the
year will be against teams that
right now occupy those top four
spots in the conference, and one
of those two exceptions will be a
match up w
i
th Canisius at
Buffalo
.
If Marist plans making
MAAC tournament dreams come
true taking care of business this
weekend in two home games is
crucial.
i'he Foxes meet the Stags of
Fairfield on Friday night at
seven, and then the Saints of
Siena on Sunday afternoon at
one o'clock
.
Two victories
would mean at least a share of
the ever-important fourth place
,
if not a share of third. In case
you are wondering
,
the Red Fox
Women have never finished a
season any higher than sixth in
the MAAC
.
But that's just how
much better this team could be
than all the teams of the past.

Hockey team goes unranked
Hot
streak comes too late .as ACHA does not rank Marist for tournament
by
Scott Montesano
Staff Writer
Despite a recent string of upset
victories, and the Marist Red
Foxes club hockey team's most
solid play since
·
the mid 1990s,
the Foxes were not invited to the
American Collegiate Hockey
Association's (ACHA) Division
II national tournament this year.
Marist failed to make the regu-
lar season ACHA rankings in the
Northeast region.
In the mind of the ACHA vot-
ers, the team's late run hurt the
Foxes. With a sub-.500 record
(11-13-3), Marist was only in the
running largely in part to some
stunning
play over the past two
months.
The Foxes have gone 7-4-2
over their past 13 games, includ-
ing upset victories over club
hockey powers Penn State,
Indiana (PA) and Stony Brook. -
not to mention ties versus San
Jose State and Westfield State.
Still, in the long run, Marist
could not erase the deficit they
put themselves in with an eight
game
winless
streak early in the
season. The
Foxes
went winless
between Oct. 18-Nov. 9 and
dropped out of the ACHA rank-
ings. Finally the
Foxes returned
into the rankings with the ninth
spot in the Northeast region on
Jan. 24.
Though they are not
going
to
nationals, a goal many of the
players had
entering
the season,
the team is still proud of the way
they came back.
"For the team to turn things
around the way we have has been
great," forward Lou Guglielmetti
said.
"We are playing ten times
better than we did last year and
five times -better then we did ear-
lier this year."
Season Continues
Manhattan on Oct. 26.
Even though the Red Foxes run Last Weekend
towards the national tournament
The Red Foxes entered last
is over, their regular season will
continue this weekend.
Marist hosts Super East
Hockey League (SECHL) rival
New York University
(NYU)
on
Friday, Feb. 7 at 9:30 p.m. at the
weekend knowing they had an
outside shot at a national tourna-
ment berth. While the Foxes ulti-
mateJy
failed in their quest for a
trip to
nationals
,
it
surely was not
because of their play in two
"We are playing ten times bet-
ter 'than we did last year and
five times better then we did
l .
h.
"
ear zer
f
lS
year.
-foward Lou Guglielmetti
Mid-Hudson Civic Center. The
game is Marist's final regular
season contest.
While the game has no bearing
on the national tournament, there
is still plenty of incentive for
both the Foxes and theViolets.
Marist enters the game in sixth
place in the SECHL, one point
behind fifth-place
NYU.
A win
over
NYU,
coupled
with another
NYU loss to Albany on Saturday,
Feb. 8, and the Foxes will earn
the fifth seed in the SECHL play-
offs next weekend.
New York has been
struggling
since the tum of the New Year. At
one point, a seemingly guaran-
teed lock to be headed to the
national tournament,
NYU
has
dropped six of their last seven.
The recent
struggles
cost the
Violets a
_
trip to California
.
Nevertheless, NYU enters this
weekend at 12-12-1.
This game will mark the 12th
straight time Marist has played a
team with a record at, or above
.500
percent. The last time the
Foxes
faced an "easy" opponent
was Dec.
I
at Rutgers.
NYU
defeated Marist
5-1
in
their first meeting this season in
games last weekend.
Marist routed the pesky
Ramapo Rangers Jr. "C" squad
8-4 on Jan. 31 at the Mid-
Hudson Civic
·
center, then
turned around one day later and
tied migh_ty Westfield State 2-2
on the road.
The unbeaten week~nd marked
only the fifth time this season
that Marist accomplished the
feat.
Junior Kevin Alteri finished the
weekend with three goals - all
against Ramapo
-
and an assist.
Meanwhile, sophomore Jordan
Plante and senior Chris Murray
each
added a pair of goals.
Marist is now 3-3-2 since the
New Year, which is respectable
considering the team has played
seven of those games against
ranked opponents.
On Jan. 31, the Foxes came out
sluggish on home ice, and spot
-
ted Ramapo a surprising 3-1 lead
late in the first period,
A pair of fluke goals helped the
Rangers,
•
including one that
deflected off a Marist defense-
men and another that was banked
off the back of Marist
goaltender
Marcus Bianco.
Nevertheless, the Foxes came
stonning back.
Led by a hat-trick from Kevin
Alteri and two goals from Chris
Murray, the Foxes outscored
Ramapo 7-1 over the final 22
minutes to secure the win.
It also did not hurt the Foxes
that Ramapo played the game
with only 15 ~katers, due to a
rule in New York State that pre-
vents high school athletes from
competing against colleges. Five,
key members of the Rangers play
high school hockey in nearby
Rockland County.
The Marist win marked the first
collegiate victory for freshman
goaltender Marcus Bianco.
"I wanted to get in there and
.
impress coach and I think
I
did
that," Bianco said atter the win.
Bianco got the start so the Foxes
could rest senior netminder Matt
Allatin.
The night off proved crucial for
Allatin
•
and the Foxes on Feb. 1
as Marist skated to a 2-2 tie at
Westfield State.
Allatin made 48
saves, while
Jordan Plante and Will Fadelici
each scored a goal to give the
Foxes a tie
against
one of the
strongest teams in the northeast.
Plante gave Marist a 1-0 lead at
5:37 of the
second
period.
However, the Owls scored the
next two g9als to gain a
2-1
advantage
.
The
Foxes
were able to
get
the
tying
goal
with only
4:33
remainidg in the game when
Fadelici received a pass in the
slot from Frank Furno, and
scored on a backhanded shot that
beat Owls goalie Ardian Kalezic.
The tie was seen as an accom-
plishment for the Foxes, who
were
satisfied
to salvage a tie
against
another solid opponent.
"We tied them, they didn't tie
us,"
said Guglielmetti.
Red Foxes compete in metropolitan championships
By
Anthony
Olivieri
Staff Writer
The Marist
College
men's and
women's indoor track teams tried
not to melt underneath the bright
lights of the big city, on Saturday
Feb. 1, as both
squads competed
m
the
Metropolitan
Championships in New York.
The
event,
held at the Armory
Track and
Field Center,
was a
success
for the Red Foxes. On
the men's
side,
Justin Harris
set
a
school record for a freshman
with a' time
of
15:24.23 in the
5,000
meter race
.
.
It was his first
time running the race and it was
good
for
a sixth
place finish.
In the hurdles, junior
captain
Eli
Bisnett-Cobb
and-
Brooklyn
native Rob DeAngelo
earned
scoring
placements with
excel-
lent
efforts.
Bisn
e
tt
-C
obb, a
Red Fox
capta
in
,
finished fourth
in the 60 meter hurdles with a
time of 8.53. DeAngelo, a fresh-
man, placed fifth with a time of
8.68.
It
was the best time of his
brief
collegiate
career.
"I hope
for
continued improve-
ment.
It
doesn't get any
easier.
We have the Metropolitan and
Colgate
coming up, so hopefully
we can get better and
get
these
guys ·
qualified," commented
men's coach Pete
Colaizzo
last
week.
Co
la
izzo's
wish came true as
the Red Foxes finished
extreme-
ly well, 12th out of 16 teams.
The Red Fox men's team hits
the road again Saturday, Feb. 8
for the
Colgate
Invitational.
The women's team also per-
formed impressively in New
York. Senior Jen Klier ran a per-
sonal best time of 18:45.20 in the
5,000 meters.
"We are
going
to try to do what
we can but there is just not
enough season
sometimes," said
head coach Phil Kelly after last
week's Terrier Classic.
Kelly's
squad
performed
admirably taking advantage of
the
season
that remains, and
get-
ting contributions from
everyone
on the team, not just
senior
lead
-
ership,
Susan Golden,
Clare
Knapp,
Jenn Rosenblatt,
and Lisa
Grudzinksi finished with the
12:13.49
.
California native Marissa
Artiano ran well in both the
200
meters and the
60
meters.
She
finished with
a
time of
27 .32
in
the
200
meters
and 8.45
in the
60
meter race.
Allison
Keller
was just
behind
Artiano in the
60
meters,
finish-
ing
with a time of 9.54.
The Red
Foxes
also finished
well in the 1600 meter relay.
The relay team
features
Artiano,
Krissy Rhorer, Megan Schlittler,
and
Golden. They combined
for
a time of 4:07.69.
Becky Faucher
stood out in the
shot put, tossing it 29'10.75.
Keller was
the
top jumper
with a
high jump of
4
'9 and a long
jump
of 15'9.5
The next action for
Red
Fox
There
were other top perfonn-
ers for the Red
Foxes.
Joe
Capecci,
Geoff Decker, and Sean
Hopkins ran to collegiate best
times
.
Capecci
ran in the 400
meter dash, and
sophomores
Decker and Hopkins ran in the
3,000 meter and the mile respec
-
tively
.
third best time
in
school history
women's
team
will
be on
Feb.
14,
in the distance medley.
