WMCRmakes comeback as WMAR
By JAMES REYES
Staff
Writer
After its suspension earlier this
year, the radio station at :Mmist,
WMAR, is finally making a
comeback at 88. l on the FM
dial.
The club was placed on proba-
tion at the beginning of this
semester because it was nof
meeting the obligations and
duties required to maintain
its
position as an on-campus club.
This was due to a lack of partic-
ipation from both its student
members and faculty staff.
Ryan Taliercio, station manag-
er, was part of the renaissance
that took place earlier this
semester.
"Most of the radio staff from
last year couldn't continue work-
ing into this year, and they left a
lot of work undone, like priority
points and our budget," said
Taliercio.
The club also did not partici-
pate in the activities fair, which
is one of the main requirements
of being an on-campus club.
But now, under the wing of its
new
faculty
advisor Brad
Freeman, the station is ready to
turn
heads on campus.
According to
Freeman,
the sta-
tion will be W1dergoing many
changes.
"[We're]
giving the station a
bath and reorganizing
it
so
there's a system," said Freeman.
"[It's like the] phoenix rising
from the ashes."
This is Freeman's first year

with the college radio station. He
was encouraged to take things
into his own hands after three
weeks of appealing to the col-
lege to establish an AM sister
station.
"[We're] giving the station
a bath
and reorganizing
it
so there's a system."
•Brad Freeman
WMAR faculty advisor
When Freeman took command
of the college radio station, he
said he immediately knew that
changes were needed.
"I want
it
to function like a
legit college radio station," said
Freeman.
Modifying the club's guidlines
was one of the first changes
JEN HAGGERTY/
THE CIRCLE
After deciding the view from the library reminded him of a European plaza, Verne Newton, library direc-
tor, wanted
.
to place chairs and tables outside the library so students could enjoy the beautiful weather.
President Murray agreed and the tables and chairs have been there ever since. Students have been
seen sitting outside the libra~. enjoying the weather and the view of the Hudson River while doing their
work.
Survey finds
college students are
increasingly
leaning Republican
By
JEFF ZELENY
Chicago Tribune
COLUMBUS, Ohio (KRT)
-
Growing up, the politics in the
household
of
Steven
Druckenmiller
had
always
leaned toward the liberal side. So
when the 20-year-old goes
home, he takes delight wearing a
shirt
from
his
College
Republican club.
At Capital University here,
Druckenmiller and several dozen
others regularly hold meetings to
discuss tax policy, free trade and
other conservative bedrocks.
Membership
in
the
rival
Democratic group, meanwhile,
has dwindled to two.
"Sure," Druckeruniller said
with a smile,
"Some
of us have
liberal
parents
and
are
rebelling."
Druckenmiller and his friends
represent a growing trend of col
-
lege students who are identifying
with the Republican Party. Gone
are the days when college cam-
puses were liberal strongholds,
awash only in principles of the
Democratic
];>arty.
A new poll by the Institute of
Politics at Harvard University
showed that 31 percent of col-
lege students across the coWltry
identify
themselves
as
Republicans. The poll also
showed that 61 percent of col-
lege
students
approve
of
President Bush's job perform-
ance, which is
about 8
percent
-
age points higher than the
gener
-
al public.
At the
same
time, 27 percent of
the
students
say they are
Democrats.
And
38 percent
say
they are
independent
or W1affili-
ated,
which makes them ripe
tar
-
gets
for presidential candidates
who are paying careful
attention
to the yoW1gest
segment
of the
electorate,
particularly
the
nation's nine million college stu-
dents.
"The days are over of colleges
being a bastion of Democratic
politics," said Dan Glickman,
director of the Kennedy School
of Government at Harvard
University.
"We've
had 20 years
without much radicalism on
campuses around the coW1try.
The campuses now reflect more
of the country as a whole."
He added,
"This
group ought to
be mined by the candidates. If
they don't, it's at their own
peril."
In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan'~
presidency inspired a generation
of conservatives on
college
cam-
puses. GOP strategists hope_ to

ment and are turning to college-

made. Their mission statement
and constitution were also
altered to make the club operate
in a more efficient and organized
manner.
The radio station itself is also
getting a makeover. The call sign
will no longer be WMCR but
will be changed to
WMAR.
This
change was encouraged with the
discovery of an official FCC
licensed station that had the
same call sign. Marist's radio
station, being a part-15 station, is
not allowed to use the same call
sign as a FCC licensed station.
The realization that other col-
lege radio stations hacl the same
name as WMCR also encour-
aged the new call sign.
According to Freeman, these
call letters had resulted in prob-
lems with the College Music
Journal in the past.
"The CMJ would get confused
when we would send them infor-
mation because they wouldn't
know who it was coming from,"
said Freeman.
Freeman believes the new call
sign will help to distinguish
Marist's radio station from oth-
ers for its students, faculty, and
even alumni audiences.
The biggest change to Marist
radio is perhaps the addition of a
sister AM station, located at
1630 on the AM dial. This AM
station will be oriented more to
information broadcasting. The
station will focus on covering
non-musi9 programmin~ such as
local and campus news. It will

Lieberman
losing
Democratic support
in New York State
By HAYDEN BATES
Circle Contributor
Support for Sen. Joseph
Lieberman, a Democratic presi-
dential candidate, is
on the
decline in New York according
to a recent poll conducted by the
Marist Institute for Public
Opinion (MIPO).
The poll, released Oct. 23,
shows that Lieberman has lost
his previously strong lead in
New York to Vermont Gov.
Howard Dean. Among registered
New York State Democrats
queried about their 2004 choices,
16 percent chose Lieberman,
down from 23 percent who
expressed support for him in
September, when he led the field
in New York.
Lee Miringoff, PhD., MIPO
director, said Lieberman's loss of
support may be attributable to
the fact that his rivals are becom-
ing easier to recognize.
"Lieberman was originally
advantaged by having some

the left, with 39 percent of regis-
tered Democrats now saying
they would prefer a liberal nom-
inee. In August, just 27 percent
wanted a liberal to face President
George W. Bush next November.
According to the poll, support
for a moderate nominee rather
than a liberal is down to 53 per-
cent among Democrats, com-
pared to more than two-thirds in
August.
Shawn Shieh, Ph.D., assistant
professor of political science at
Marist, said there is a definite
link between Lieberman's recent
loss of support in New York .and
the findings of the CNN/USA
name recogni-
tion over the
other candi-
dates,

cially in New
York, seeing

popularity in
and he was on the Gore ticket
just a few years ago," said
Miringoff. "However, that is all
eroding now as guys like Dean
and Clark are getting media cov-
erage and are becoming better
known."
In the poll, Dean is in first
place,
slightly
ahead
of
Lieberman arrd retired Gen.
Wesley Clark. As Lieberman's
support has
eroded,
Dean
appears to be the primary benefi-
ciary, rising to 18 percent, com-
pared to 13 percent last month.
The poll's margin of error was
plus or minus five percentage
points.
A recent CNN
/
USA Today/
Gallup nationwide poll showed
another possible reason why
Lieberman is losing support. The
poll showed that the Democratic
disposition may be swinging to
New York, following the nation-
al
trend,"
said
Shieh.
"Historically,
Democratic candi-
dates have to appeal to the liber-
al core of the party in order to
succeed
in
the
primaries.
Lieberman's stance as a moder-
ate is certainly hurting him."
Martin Shaffer, Ph.D., chair of
the Marist political science
department, said the national
shift in support in favor of liber-
al candidates is a reason for
Lieberman's New York slump.
"Liberal Democrats dominate
the primaries and caucuses," said
Shaffer. "Lieberman's
early
lead
is deteriorating rapidly in New
York and across the nation as
Democratic voters look to candi-
dates they perceive to be less in
the middle and more to the left
-
guys like Dean and Clark."

Young has served on many

in
Germany and the Sept.

While a great portion of the
Sept.

man-
aged to discuss what he could in
respect to the memorial that will
be built on more than four acres
where the Twin Towers stood in
Manhattan.
Young showed slides of various
memorials throughout the dis-
cussion. He said
that
artists and
architects will be more con-
cerned with "memory work,"
and may actually do more than

Yooog said that memorials

Inconsistent
·crosswalk
puts students at risk
T
he level of safety at the Marist main entrance should not be
brushed off as a mere jaywalking problem.
The root of the problem exists not only among Poughkeepsie driv-
ers, but also within the technology itself.
It is not uncommon to see cars, or even MAC trucks, speed through
the changing signal on Route 9. What's disturbing is that they are
often still within the crosswalk area

THE GAME
OF
ADD /
DROP
MADNESS!
How To
PLAY:
Look at the numbers on a clock and focus on one number besides '12.'
Use this number as your starting number and add '2' to it to find out your starting point on the board.
When you land on a number square, look to the key to find out what they mean. Continue to play using a die.
PAGE4
begins.
.
The amount of time to cross Route 9, 26 seconds to be exact, forces
students to cross diagonally in the intersection. Some Poughkeepsie
residents perceive the diagonal crossing to be a threat to their well-
being and reason enough to try and curb Marist's expansion on the
east side of Route 9. While diagonal crossing is technically illegal,
carelessness in driving through red lights or making illegal turns at a
red light is a far greater threat.
McCann
Vehicular violations dominate the summons tally when
Poughkeepsie police patrol the main gate area.
For the crosswalk to work to students' advantage, students must
familiarize themselves with the light cycle and the pedestrian phase.
While traffic is moving on Route 9, students should press (some-
times repeatedly) the crosswalk button in order for the traffic cycle
to end and allow the crosswalk cycle to begin.
Reliable technology can ensure student safety
A particularly disturbing glitch in the traffic signals at the main
gate is the lights' tendency to periodically skip a pedestrian phase,
regardless of how many times the call button was pushed during the
Route
·
9 phase. This phenomena was witnessed by Circle editors
during the afternoons of Oct. 13 and Oct. 30. On both dates, the
pedestrian phase was bypassed twice, prompting students to jaywalk
during the second skipped cycle.
On
both dates, ~tudents were forced to pause at
the
median
to
allow
Fulton Street traffic to pass. Had these students been hit, they
undoubtedly would have been issued summonses for jaywalking.
Part of the final site plan approval for the Fulton Street townhous-
es includes Marist working with the New York State Department of
Transportation to improve the level of service at the main gate
intersection. The technology needs to be reliable
to maintain student
safety.
Circle Mailbox
Unleash creativity this fall
I want to thank the editorial staff of The Circle and especially it's
reporter, Aubrey Roff, for the fine article, "Playwrights Needed:
Annual Contest Calls for One-Act Wonders" (Oct. 30, 2003).
The Circle provides a tremendous service .to the student body when
it alerts each student to chances to stretch their learning beyond the
walls of the classrooms. Such opportunities never replace the class-
room, but they offer a campus marketplace wherein students are free
to test their ideas, their talent, and their creations against a wider
spectrum of the student body than is normally found in a singular
course or class.
Don't hesitate any longer. 'fake the creative plunge. Risk putting
your best work on public display. Entrust others to use it with
-
respect. Enter the John P. Anderson One-Act
·
Playwriting Contest.
You have much to gain, little to lose. (Did you know that last year's
winner won among other things a check for $700?)
Applications and Writing Guidelines are available in SC 369 and
RO 389.
If you haven't begun to write and revise your play, read
those guidelines and start your first draft. Entries need to be turned
in by the end of the fall semester.
Again, thank you for your newspaper's support.

The truth behind the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'
I'm tired of hearing people claim that the "Texas Chainsaw
Massacre" movie is based on actual events. My frustration reached
its pinnacle when I read an article in The Circle last week that clear-
ly stated the events in the film are based on a true story. I hate to
burst your bubble -
but there was never a chainsaw massacre in
Texas I I I challenge you to search through any crime archives to find
an article that comes remotely close to containing "Texas" and
"chainsaw" in the same sentence. Somebody didn't quite catch up on
his research before writing last week's article ...

on Dashboard's latest album
By
DORY LARRABEE
Staff Writer
Dashboard Confessional
"A
Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar"
Label:
Vagrant
Release Date: Aug.
2003
If you looked "emo" up in the diction-
ary
you would find a picture oflead singer
Chris
Carrabba
of
Dashboard
Confessional. Released in August 2003,
Dashboard's fourth albwn,
"A Mark, A
Mission, A Brand, A Scar" has passion,
longing, anger, and vulnerability.
singing acoustic hits like "The Places You Have Come to Fear the
Most," "The Good Fight," and "Best Deceptions" from 200 l's
"The Places You Have Come
to
Fear the Most."
While "A Mark, A Mission, A
Brand,
A Scar'' is not Dashboard's
best work, it should certainly not be overlooked.
It
contains good
songs like the classic "Hands
Down"
in which Carrabba proclaims
"My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
/
So won't you
kill me, so I die happy./ My heart is yours to fill or burst,/ to break
or bury, or wear as jewelry, / which ever you prefer." The song
"Rapid Hope Loss," whose bitter tone is
evident as Carrabba spits out "Cause
now that I can see you,
/
I don't
think
you're worth a second glance."
The old-school style of Dashboard is
still evident
in
the acoustic based
-"
Carry
This Picture" and "Ghost of a Good
Thing," while other new songs combine
emo, pop, punk, and rock in a unique
sound found
in
tracks such as
"As
Lovers Go" and
"Am
I Missing."
Dashboard's
edge may be shown in the
harder
"If
You Can't Leave it be, Might
as
Well Make
it Bleed."
The CD opens with the popular "Hands
Down" which has been featured on earli-
er CDs including
Dashboard's
MTV
Unplugged special. It was this CD which
allowed them to sneak into mainstream
madness. Since then, the popularity of
Dashboard is evident
in
their concerts and
DVDs.

As wen as the audio CD, "A Mark,
A
Mission, A Brand, A Scar'' features a
bonus DVD titled "Far From Home
Movies." This DVD is a concert of Carrabba's short solo tour he
took after the album was recorded. The DVD is shot by semi-ama-
teurs and Carrabba's voice is frequently drowned out by the
screaminB fans in the intimate clubs.
The highlight of all the songs, obvious
to
anyone who listens, is Carrabba's
voice. He shows great flexibility in
songs like "Several Ways to Die
Trying,"
in
which he goes from a whisper to a scream in sec?nds.

Student Programming Council's Coffee
JEN HAGGERTY/ THE CIRCLE
Clockwise, beginning at top left: Rachel Cronin sings an Evanescence
cover Oct. 30 at the SPC Student Coffee House.
Next: Cronin's trio was the third to perform that evening.
Top Right: Kyle Bennington plays Oasis cover, "Wonderwall."
Above: Alex Panagiotopoulos and Ryan Wimmer performed acoustic
guitar selections, including the Eagles' "Hotel California."
Middle Right: Marc Capaldo and Jeff Berner from Five Minute Riot
entertained the audience with selections from their album.
Right: Jen Campos performed fifth with two acoustia.selections.
Far Right: Amy Matarazzo performs "Perfect Day," which is about an
eating disorder.
Music was the buzz word last Thursday
evening in the Performing Arts Room as the
monthly Student Programming Council's (SPC)
Coffee House kicked off its second gig of the
semester.
Nine performances spanned the two-hour set,
with each pfrformer competing for various mon-
etary prizes: $50 for first place, $30 for second
and $15 for third.
Kristin Burlage, SPC president, said that the
coffee house serves as a venue for students to
experiment with their musical talents.
"There are many excellent student musicians
and poets on the Marist campus," she said. "[The
coffee
·
house] also gives other students the
opportunity to hear the music / poetry they are
making."
The trio who won first place consisted of gui-
tarists Jeremy Able and Will Allen with Alex
Bea on the congas. They performed two songs:
an original and a Dispatch cover. Able even
threw in a little Madonna with a quick verse
from "Like a Prayer."
The duo from Five Minute Riot, Jeff Bemer
and Marc Capaldo, finished second after show-
casing two original songs from their album,
"Hoints Away!"
John Santiago placed third after performing
three songs solo, in addition to accompanying
Rachel Cronin during her set.
Despite placing outside the top three, Cronin's
set, which included an Evanescence cover, was
one of the highlights of the evening.
"I came to play because music is my favorite
thing," said Santiago. "It's inside of me, and I
like to get it out on stage."
Another notable performer included Coffee
House veteran Nolan Van Wert, who kicked off
the evening with two acoustic selections.
Burlage said that SPC is always searching for
new students to perform in the monthly spon-
sored coffee houses.
Check out the next Coffee House on Nov. 20 at
9 p.m. in the PAR. For more information, contact
SPC at extension 2828 or send a mes~age to the
AIM screen name, MaristSPC. Be sure to leave
name, extension and e-mail address in your mes-
sage.

Burning issue: You decide
The intrepid

Glass ceilings and mini skirts
By
VERNE NEWTON
&
CHARYL POLLARD
Circle Contributors
You watched in dismay as fires
engulfed California. Finally the
rains came and the fires were
brought under control. Now the
state is braced
for
mudslides.
Why does anyone even live in
California?
But
this thought is
drowned out, as it were, by the
emergence of another debate
that has long troubled you.
The logging industry argues
the fires were fueled by old
growth trees and underbrush
that should have been cleared as
part of a commercial cutting
program. Others are saying spe-
cial interest groups are trying to
exploit this disaster for their
own
ends and the greater threat
is rapacious clearing of precious
timberland. This debate exists
as the Democrats try unsuccess-
fully to block President Bush's
EPA nominee as being anti-
environment.
The tussle between the logging
industry and the environmental-
ists cries out for clarity.
You
have decided you 're just the one
to
finally
resolve
it.
First you log on to the
library's website and visit
ABI/INFORM Global, the first
on the A-Z database listing.
You enter "logging AND envi-
ronment*" (the * means every
variation of the word will be
found). You get 469 results.
Now you want to ·sort the
results otlt by type. You click
on the "Scholarly Articles" tab
at the top and find that 52 of the
total number of articles fall in
that category. You pick three
that seem more relevant and
current to your needs.
Next, you go to Trade
Publications. Here the issue
becomes clearer. There are arti-
cles
attacking
"Welfare
Ranching" for industrial log-
ging firms, and others attacking
the "greens" for destroying the
forests while claiming to save
the trees. You select two that
are diametrically opposed.
Then you go to the
Newspaper tab of which there
are 180 articles
-
most of
which seems to be Wall Street
Journal editorials attacking
environmental activists. This
issue is hot. Finally, you go to
the New York Times (current)
and do a similar search and
selectively print out articles.
You're not anti-business, so
you go to Business Source
Premier and enter the same
terms:
"logging
AND environ-
ment*'1. You get 453 hits,
including pieces produced by
industry
spokespersons.
Companies
like
Georgia-
Pacific and Weyerhaeuser are
prominent. You want to get
their view directly from them,
so you go to the green
"Company
Profiles" tab at the
top of the screen and enter
"Georgia-Pacific"
to get a full
report.
You now have a wealth of
information to sort through so
that you can arrive at an under-
standing and then express your

roots of this problem go very far
back in history, where as time
progressed,
women
slowly
began to receive the rights that
men controlled for years.
Women haven't quite caught up
yet and are still considered by
some as subservient to men.
Many women are familiar with
the common saying made by
men,
"They
don't belong in the
workforce. They belong in the
home, raising children, clean-
ing, and cooking."
This shows that men still feel
·
superior to women, and women
use this to push for more rights.
Women say that men of equal
stature on the corporate
ladder
don't have any higher qualifica-
tions, yet the men get the better
jobs and nicer offices, while the
women hit the "glass ceiling."
Women are moving up the cor-
porate ladder at a normal pace
and then
are suddenly no longer
promoted
.
In
almost
every industry,
women
occupy a
very small
proportion
of the
higher-level
positions.
For example, in
1988,
only three CEOs
among
the Fortune 1000
were women.
Men are
continuing to
move
up,
while
the
women
are
stuck, sim-
ply
because
they
are
women.
However, some
may disagree
saying women
can't move
up
because
they
tend to be
more
family
oriented.
They need
maternity
leave and need to
run
off
when
their
children
have
doctor
visits,
or
for many other
reasons. This has a very nega-
.
tive impact
on
thei_r job and will
make them much
less produc-
tive in the workplace.
Men don't
cry about injustice
as much
as
women do, mainly
because
it doesn't happen as
much,
but some still
feel they
.
aren't receiving equal opportu-
nities. Men feel women get spe-
cial attention
because
of their
looks. For example, if a man
was hiring a new secretary
or
receptionist, he would more
likely hire a woman over a
man.
Although she may be hired
because
of her ability, it is quite
possibly because of her appear-
ance. In his mind, he wants a
pretty face at the front desk as
people
walk in the door of his
place of business.
Even if a
woman was hiring a secretary,
she would probably hire another
woman, probably because she
thinks the woman would be bet-
ter for the job emotionally. The
person at the front desk is the
first impression of a business,
and in her mind, she wants
someone who would be warm
and friendly and
would
connect
or maybe even flirt with the
businessmen who walk through
the front door.
Although there aren't too many
male secretaries or reception-
ists, the few who say this is gen-
der bias see
this
as unfair .
Some women also play into this
by the way they dress, flirting
with the men above them to get
promotions. This would be very
difficult
for men to counteract
because
many of their superiors
would be other men.
The battlefield is vast and it
doesn't look like there's an end
to the war any time soon. Men
and women will both feel they
are being treated unjustly
.
They
only way
·
to win the war is to
use the dirty tricks, the weapons
of gender, and good
looks to
beat the opposition.

Quick heads
up on hats
By
KRISTIN GALLAGHER
Staff Writer
Hats are breaking back into the
fashion world one style at a time.
Innovative shapes and sizes are
combined with striking colors
and designs to create a look that
is complete in itself. Baseball
players and truck drivers have
been wearing these hats for
years; fashion followers, howev-
er, are using the same hats to cre-
ate looks of contemporary class.
Winter weather has already
made its chilling entrance, and it

Most popular in shades of black

those

are
in this season.
Different designers
are
coming out
with their own versions of these

One of the
exceptional advantages to these
hats is that they
are
available in
nearly e:very color and material.

"People want to hear current

there needs to be a forum for
Marist students to talk about
their feelings and thoughts on
what's going on around them,"
said Taliercio.
The AM station will still fea-

campus activities from club

ter AM station will be in compe-
tition though. On the contrary,
this will allow WMAR to have
the two stations specialize in cer-
tain fields: the FM focusing more

that
each will
draw its own audience. The FM
station will appeal more to stu-
dents and the AM station will
appeal to the faculty and alumni.
The plans have been laid out,
but when they will be fulfilled is
still uncertain. It has been agreed
that the goal is to have the AM
station up and running by the end
of November. The station plans
to bring in equipment such as
new computers that will allow
them to play MP3s for both live
broadcasts and for when sched-
uled DJs can't show up.
WMAR has already taken
action in bringing about these
changes.
An
AM radio antenna
has been acquired for their sister
station. They have brought in
field broadcast equipment that
will allow them to hold live
broadcasts at special events such
as campus concerts and sports
games. They have also already
assigned new DJs to host shows
for next semester's schedule.
The station has even
made
efforts to keep their Web site
updated with the latest
informa-
tion on their progress. The Web
site even features a live webcast
of the station's programming.
WMAR is taking their time,
however
,
with the AM station.
The AM will be created while
the FM is being perfected, a
major goal of the radio station.
Freeman hopes .that changes
will continue to progress steadi-
ly.
"This is an exciting time for the
radio station. I hope that the stu-
dents will be as guided as they
have been in the past," said
Freeman.

in the Lady Foxes' 2-1
win
over

The first half commenced with
St. Peter's winning the coin toss
and driving the ball up the field,
only to be immediately stopped
by the Foxes' solid defense. The
Red Foxes defensive strikes held
the
Peahens
to four shots during
the first half.
The Peahens' defense was like-
wise solid, allowing only four
shots on goal. The Marist offense
continued to pressure St. Peter's
throughout the first half, as the
Red Foxes controlled the ball in
the Peahens' zone for nearly
65
percent of the time. At the end of
the first
half,
the teams were knot-
ted at a score of 0-0.
The Peahens were the

lifted the ball in the

Gubitosa headed the ball past the
sprawling goalie at 47:55, imme-
diately silencing the home crowd
It seemed as if the Peahens' scor-
ing drive halted the growing con-
fidence of the Red Foxes, but
Ludwig responded back with her
only goal of the game at the 64-
minute
mark.

•oie8e . , . minutes to
spare and the score still tied at 1-

sprinting Courtney Moore. Moore
broke past the St. Peter's middle
fullback and drove the ball into
the right portion of the net, giving
the Foxes a 2-1 lead.
The

five minutes of the
game resulted with the Lady

from their zone and playing a
short game of "keep away" from
the desperate Peahens. The horn
sounded, and the Foxes and their

was solid, accumulating three

win,

match-up at the
McCann
Center
·
Natatorium
Thursday, Oct. 30.
The Red Foxes racked up 10 first-
place fmishes, securing the victory
and allowing the final two events to
be exhibitions.
Marist head coach Larry Van
Wagner said that his squads' seven
weeks of preparation paid off in their
first dual meet of the season against a
competitive Fordham team.
Coach Van Wagner is at the helm of
both the men and women's teams for
the first time this fall.
"Fordham has a lot to improve
upon," he said. "They have a lot of
young people who compete well, but
are not on our level as of now."
"But we trained hard and were
ready for the meet on Thursday."
Sophomore Joe Pilewski, junior
Matt
Castillo,
freshman
Nick
Ch~va\ier, and junior
Jeffrey
"Paul
ignited the Red Foxes from the start
of the meet with a first place finish in
the 400-medley relay with a time of
3:ll.90.
Chevalier followed up with anoth-
er first place finish in the 1000-yard
fre~style finishing with a time of
9:45.22.
Castillo, another member of the
winning 400-medley team, landed a
first place finish in the 200-yard
medley with a time of 1 :41.80.
Paul won.the 50-yard freestyle, and
Pilewski took first place honors in
the 200-yard individual medley.
Freshman Greg Weissman finished
first in the one-meter diving, and
sophomore Kevin Connors won the
200-yard butterfly with a time of
2:01.71.
Coach Van Wagner said that he has
been pleasantly surprised with his
seven freshmen, and remains confi-
dent that they will fill the roles of last
year's talented graduating class.
"In some instances, I absolutely
expected our freshmen to step up," he
said. "I believe our freshmen are
ready to compete, especially our two
backstrokers, Dan Garaffa and
Brandon Yoss."
Garaffa had an excellent showing
last Thursday, winning the 200-yard
backstroke with a time of
1
:58.27.
The final first place finish came from
Henry Puretz, winning the 500-yard
freestyle with a time of 4:53.77
The Marist College women's
swimming team could not match the
winning ways of their male counter-
parts, losing to Fordham University
130.50 to 112.50 Thursday, Oct. 30.
·
The Red Foxes fell just 18 points
short of victory, an outcome that
wasn't decided until the final event of
the night, a marked improvement
over last year's loss to Fordham.
"The women fought right up to the
final event," Coach Larry Van
Wagner said. "They ended up cutting
the deficit down considerably from
what it was last year. I'm definitely
happy about that."
Junior Emily Heslin notched
Marist's initial first-place finish of
the night with a victory in the 1000-
yard freestyle with a time of
10:42.06. Senior Jen Meyer grabbed
first place with a time of 25.45 in the
50-yard free~tyle.
Junior Je,n Gelsomino racked up yet
another first-place finish for the Red
Foxes,
barely
out
swimming
Fordham by .16 of a second in the
200-yard butterfly with a time of
2: 13.35.
Senior Amber VanDeCarr finished
in first place in the one-meter dive
with a score of 206.10, and freshman
Lauren Malski had the final first
place finish in the 200-yard breast-
stroke with a time of 2.28.92.
Van Wagner believes Malski can
come in and make an immediate
impact as a freshman.

"[Lauren] Malski is someone
·
we
knew would come in and be competi-
tive with the reigning MAAC champion
right away," he said.
Coach Van Wagner also said that
being the head coach of both programs
has made it a lot easier for
the
swim-
ming program as a whole, allowing one
person to control the destiny of both
teams.
Even though both squads could not
puH out the win on the same night, he
.
believes the women's improvement
over last year's meet is a good sign that
the merge was a positive move
.
"The men and women
'have
to train
together, and it allows me to dictate the
training," he said. "So, for me it
becomes easier to control what goes
on."
The Marist men and women return to
action against Rider University on
Saturday in Lawrenceville, N.J.

teams is
