Ethernet
card
ge15
mixed reactions
by
ED WILLIAMS

The switch to the new
Ethernet system has gotten
mixed reviews among Marist
students.
Over the summer, there was
a $3.6 million campus-wide net-
work overhaul from a token
ring
system to an Ethernet card sys-
tem. To facilitate the conversion
process,
.the
ResNet swat team
patrolled the campus helping
students switch from token
ring to Ethernet card during the
first two weeks of school. The
new connection is faster and
more compatible with develop-
ing technologies, but some
students have concerns.
In the past, students had to
pay $300 for the token ring and,
in some cases, needed to up-
grade their operating systems.
In an effort to reimburse the
students, Marist has supplied
the Ethernet cards free of
charge, and offered the up-
graded Wmdows XP for a :frac-
tion of the retail pric_e. Some
students, however, feel as
though this was not eno¥gh.
"I feel like my parents wasted
$300 on a token ring. We
should have been compen-
sated," said sophomore Allison
Raggie.
"I
think
they are a big
im-
provement from the token ring,
but I wish we didn't have to pay
so much in the first place," said
student Abraham Nseir.
Yet, another issue arises.
Most computers manufactured
in
the past two years come with
Ethernet cards. Students that
purchased a token ring for $300
last year, and already own a
computer equigped with an
Ethernet card do not reap the
benefits of
the reimbuisement.
Despite the efforts to install a
faster internet connection, most
students believe the Ethernet
card is the complete opposite.
"It's a lot slower, [ and I] get
kicked off a lot," says senior
Greg Vernaci.
According to a memo from
Roy H. Merolli to the Marist
campus, IBM, CISCO and
Marist Network staffhave iden-
tified the problem causing stu-
dents to be randomly discon-
nected from the campus net-
work. The team has applied the
necessary software fix and feels
that all problems have been cor-
rected. They advise that any
student experiencing difficul-
ties to contact the IT Help Desk
at extension 4357 or ResNet at
extension 3135.

Internet access limited
in
labs
by
ALISSABREW
Staff Writer
Signing onto a computer in
Donnelly
lab isn't so easy any-
more. Neither in the library. The
labs are always populated, despite
the fact that many people are be-
ing turned away. Anyone who
does not possess a k-account can-
not log in at the labs. The reason
behind this new security feature is
a startling one.
According to The Circle's corre-
spondents, people were using the
computers to gain access to
websites containing pornographic
material.
When confronted with
this statement, Harry
Williams,
Di-
rector of Technology
and
Systems,
did not refute this report, but did
say, "Students should have pri-
mary access ... we are trying to re-
duce the non-students' usage." By
using the k-account, Marist's Sys-
tems Dep~ent hopes to increase
"equipment availability" and deter
any wrongful usage.
·
Both Donnelly and the library's
labs are filled with IBM computers
that are Internet enabled through
the new Ethernet system. These
centers were built to offer students
and faculty a means of obtaining
information for academic
purposes.
The
Donnelly
lab is open 24-hours
all year long; which comes in
handy during midterms and finals,
especially because the library
closes around midnight. They of-
fer a quiet setting to do your work

at no cost. To the
community, this would seem like a
valuable resource as well, and up
until recently it was available to
anyone. Unfortunately, they were
overused and people took advan-

security guards were at the en-

on LeonidoffField and were quick
to notice the not-so-concealed 24,

The tasty beverages were confis-

Vandalism has made its triumphant
return to the security briefs a mere
six days into the semester. Marion
Hall was its first victim. The secu-

arm and leg, cushions strewn
about and a piano tipped over. The
couch is currently being treated for

Career Month valuable resource for student
body
by
MEGHAN TWOHIG
Staff' Wn"ter
It has become a widespread mis-
conception that one should know
what profession they want to pur-
sue by the time they are able to
talk.
Many undergraduates have an
undecided major and still even
more upperclassmen do not know
how to go about pursuing a career
with their designated major.
College is full of indecision and
hesitation. This is where the Cen-
ter for Career Services comes in.
The center offers a variety of pro-
grams and information to help stu-
dents set career goals and seeking
employment.
·
One of the programs they offer is
Career Month, which will run for
its third consecutive year, starting
this month. Career Month was
started in order to give students a
systematic method for exploring the
. different careers available in each
of the different schools at Marist.
Each ofthe six schools has its
own desigI).ated month during
which a career panel and field trip
pertinent to that particular school
will take place.
The focus for the month of Sep-
tember will be careers in computer
science and math. On Wednesday,
Sept. 25, the Center for Career Ser-
vices will offer a panel presenta-
tion at 12:30 p.m. in the Student
Center 346
(PAR).
The panel will
consist of five professionals in the
field of computer science and math
- four will be Marist alumni. These
panelists include Greg Dallari, a·
Marist '98 graduate with a B.S. in
information systems, who is a staff
systems and procedures analyst at
IBM; Stephen
Ropel,
a state stat-
istician with the New York Agricul-
tural
Statistics Service, Nicole Th-
ompson, a Marist '93 graduate with
a B.S. in information systems, who
is a clinical analyst at Benedictine
Hospital; Leonard Turkenkopf, a
Marist '76 graduate with a B.A. in
mathematics,_ who is a principal
consultant for Keane Inc.; and Su-
san Tyler, a Marist '91 graduate
with a B.S. in information systems,
who is a senior data analyst for
UPS.
There is a tentative plan for a
field trip at the end of September
to IBM for a "behind the scenes"
look. Each member of the panel
will make a presentation on their
career, what they do everyday, and
how they got to where they are
today.
The Marist alumni will speak
about what courses they took and
any internships they participated
in while at Marist. These presen-
tations will, in total, last roughly
25-30 minutes, after which stu-
dents will have the opportunity to
ask any questions they may have.
Chet Koulik, the Associate Di-
rector, said he recommends this
panel to everyone, particularly
undergraduates with an unde-
cided major and upperclassmen
who are trying to figure out how to
go about making the career of their
dreams a reality.
"Career Month is a way for us to
reassure students to show them
there are a lot of options out there
that they might not know about,"
said Koulik.
The Center for Career
Services is located on the
third floor in the library.

cated.in Donnelly provide~ oppor-
tunities for those who qualify for
work-study, as well as students
who do not and are looking to prac-
tice their classroom skills, or be a
cashier or stock-person.
According to the Marist website,
all students are eligible to apply for
jobs. Each department of the col-
lege hires students. According to
an anonymous financial aid em-
ployee, "The jobs are good and do
not pay well, but the deduction of
estimated family contribution
proves to be helpful. They offer
excellent experience and flexible
hours."
If
you do not qualify for a work-
study program or are not a master
of a trade such as life guarding
or computer skills, there are still
many opportunities of which to
take advantage.
Some campus jobs posted as
of press date were:

-Marist Fishkill Center
-
clerical
work
- Marist Institute of Public Opin-
ion (MIPO)
~student Nighttime Auxiliary Pa-
trol
(SNAP)
for those interested
in campus security.
There are also tutors wanted
for Poughkeepsie middle school
and high school, along with

by
JACKIE SfASIUK
Sta.If Wn'ter
There's been much talk on cam-
pus about the promiscuous MTV
show,
.f.Bet
You
Will, and their visit
to Marist College. The underlying
purpose of the popular program is
to get people to perform ridiculous
tasks for money. Accordingly
Marist hyped
up
MTV's arrival pro-
ducing a relatively large outcome.
The campus green was filled with
people and it seemed to be all in
good fun, or was it.
Marist College considers itselfto
be a prestigious institution of
higher education and President
Murray holds steadfast to this ideal ..
And for a school where the sale of
gum
is prohibited on campus,
I
Bet

slightly out of place. Nonetheless,
students acted as the participants
in the menial games and tasks,

inappropriateness of the situation.
Being an RA, especially a fresh-
men RA, is a large responsibility.
It is not just about patrolling the
freshmen dorms making sure that
students are not being too loud
and are obeying all school regula-
tions.
It
is about being a role model.
Last week these two RAs were not
role models for these young people.
They exhibited behavior that was
completely irresponsible.
Now, the question is, should
these RAs be punished? The an-
swer for me is yes. As described in
the student handbook, RAs are
"supposed to supervise and en-
force administrative policies and
regulations."
·
I highly doubt that
President Murray sent a memo to
the freshmen RAs telling them to
participate in a nude relay race on
the green.
RAs are not just stu-
dents. They are in

tion and should

Bush is not as dumb as he looks
bySCOITPERELL
StaffWn'ter
In his speech before the United
Nations General Assembly on
Thursday, P.resident George W.
Bush presented the case against
the current regime in Iraq, led by
Saddam Hussein.
Among the major points touched
upon by Bush were violations of
numerous U.N. Security Council
resolutions covering topics con-
cerning the release Gulf War pris-
oners; terrorism," and weapons of
mass destruction.
Bush challenged the General
As-
sembly to uphold the nature of the
United Nations and act to preserve
tile liberty of the oppressed Iraqi
people. The long story short is that
Bush wants to go into Iraq to get
Hussein out in what has been
called a "regime change".
But is this a good idea? I say
yes, and here's why:
Bush is no fool. He knows that
an Anglo-American operation in
Iraq will be an international rela-
tions nightmare
.
Bush Sr.
's
coali-
tion from 1991 is long gone, and
the only option as of right now is a
mostly unilateral land campaign. if
the Iraq campaign is indeed a "go".
Bush was smart in his speech -
Saddam didn't violate American
standards and requirements, in-
stead he violated United Nations
resolutions. Even if military sup-
port is never lent to America and
Britain, this multilateral rhetoric can
bail Bush out in a big way, in the
event that international opinion
sharply criticizes another GulfWar.
Bush needs more
·
than just Brit-
ish support. If he can sway the
Security Council to pass another
resolution demanding concessions
from Hussein, military options in
Iraq would become much more le-
gitimate and less open to the cri-
tique of unilateralism - especially if
Hussein balks at the new resolu-
tions (And I bet he would). More-
over, the breaking of a new Secu-
rity Council resolution, which
would ideally be more of an ultima-
tum than a restatement of previous
demands, could provide the basis
for a new Gulf War coalition that
could solve Bush's unilateral con-
cerns for him.
The U.S. and Britain acting alone
is potentially a majornegative. But
does Saddam Husse~eed to be
removed? Do we have that right?
President Bush thinks this is so,
and in this case I'm inclined to
agree. A decade of blatantly ig-
noring weapons inspection re-
quirements and open admissions
of a nuclear arms program aside,
we must look more to Hussein's
track record.
·
After all,America
has
more weap-
ons of mass destruction than any-
one, but America is (much) less
likely to use those weapons.
Hussein used his medium-range
delivery system many times in the
first Gulf War to attack Israel and
Saudi Ara
b
ia. Outfitting these
Scud missiles with anthrax or a
chemical agent isn't all that hard.
Saddam has gassed his own
people before - not to mention
Iran.
Basically, Iraq has the means to
kill a whole lot of people - and if
you think Saddam won't use his
weapons of mass destruction,
then your argument could cost
hundreds of thousands of lives.
Through terrorists or by himself,
Saddam ca{)., and likely will, use
the doomsday weapons he's
building. Can we really risk that?
to be a part of the
television
show.
Only these RAs didn't eat
ten fermented duck eggs. Their
task was to complete a naked relay
race across the campus green.
They were given a tiny box in which
to cover themselves, however, the
boxes served little purpose as one
·
RA ran clearly naked across the
green without the aid of the box.
The audience burst out in laugh-
ter, including myself, I must admit,
and it seemed completely harmless
at the time. However, it wasn't un-
til a few hours later when my
housemates and I were recounting
the story for a few friends that
in an orderly
fashion, then
they should be
p
unished accord-
ingly.
Marist RAs: Free birds?
I bet they aren't. And they certainly
shouldn't be!

Students and faculty gathered in
front of the chapel Wed. morning
to pay respect to those who lost
their lives in the terrorist attacks
that shook America a year ago on
Sept. l L
"We remember the horror of Sep-
·

we remember too--
that as the towers fell, the best of
the American character arose, and
how our own students, faculty and
staff gave blood, volunteered at

President Dennis J. Murray Wed.
morning.
One year can bring many
changes.
Thirty
minutes can bring
more. The Marist community can-
celled classes until 2 p.m. on Sept.
11 in order to pay homage to those
30 minutes that questioned the sta-
bility and security of the United
States.
There were many accounts of
younger men and women who
could have raced down the stairs
ahead of nearly all the others, but
perished because they refused to
abandon those for whom every
step was a struggle.
Student Body President, Brian
McAlpin, offered words
·
of hope.
"Let us never forget how Ameri-
cans came together after the at-
tacks. Our strengths, our unity, uur
conviction, and our resolve all
brought about the very best of
human nature."
Various speakers read texts from
holy books, including Hebrew and
Christian scriptures, along with
readings from the Koran.
Antonella Delli Carpini sang
"America the Beautiful," and soon
after,
there was a moment of silence
to pay homage to all those lost in
the attacks.
Following was the final remem-
brance that morning, in which fac-
ulty and students volunteered to
ring the chapel bell for each life lost
in the Twin Towers on Sept. 11,
beginning with six Marist Alumni
who lost. They were Carmen A.
Rivera '02, Thomas G. <Zrotty '81,
Daniel M. Coffey '69, Jaqueline K.
Sayegh Duggan '89, Vincent D.
Kane '86 and Kevin J. Pfeifer '83.

TRIBUT
Students pay respects
by
JEN HAGGERTY
Editor-in-Chief
Originally scheduled to take
place at the Grotto, high wind warn-
ings moved the candlelit vigil to
the chapel Wed. evening, Sept. 11.
It was not long before the church
was entirely full, yet several more
students gathered outside the
church down onto the road to sim-
ply be a part of the memorial.
The vigil began with drumbeats,
pulsating off the walls. Each stu-
dent inside the chapel, whether sit-
ting on the altar, in the pews or
standing in the back , set ablaze a
few hundred candles without even
a whisper.
Dennis J. Murray, President of
Marist College, began the vigil.
"Sept. 11 will always be remem-
bered as a day of sorrow. But I be-
lieve it will also be remembered as
a day of great strength ... The Pen-
tagon, Washington, the field in
Penn.,
the
Ground
Zero
...
Americans came together ...
they remembered, they cried, they
prayed."
Murray also spoke of the Celtic
cross donated by a Marist alumni
(see page 3) and of the morning
ceremony in which the chapel bell
toll 2,801 times for those individu-
als who lost thier lives in the World
Trade Center.
Students inside the chapel held
one another searching for solace.
Several more remained outside the
chapel, stretching down onto the
road.
Amazing Grace was chosen by
the choir to accompany this
evening, first being hummed in the
background while students role
played various lives of those on 9-
11.
"When another called from a
plane to say, 'Honey, I'm not go-
ingtomakeit. But it's ok, I'm ready
to go. I love you," said one speaker
who role-played during "Where
were you?"
Heavenly voices, inspired by
the pain of those who suffered on
Sept. 11, continued the song, now
with words, as the distinct smell of
candle smoke filled the room.
Heartfelt emotion was felt by all in
the chapel.
After the candles were blown
out, the crying song of taps on the
trumpet concluded the vigil, ac-
companied by the painful weeping
of students.
Afterwards, students lingered
outside the chapel, seeking com-
fort from friends.
Vanessa Katz, junior, was tou.ched
by the ceremony.
"It
was definitely
a good healing process, and a
chance to come together as a
Marist community.
It
was a great
remembrance of those who lost
their lives on 9-11."
"Words can't express the amount
of emotion that was shown in there.
It
went right to the heart," said se-
nior John Gray.
Junior Dan Ianniello, said that
the ceremony was "very touching,
even though I was not affected by
it directly. I felt the community of
Marist helped everyone cope and
it was a good healing process."
Kimberly Albin, junior, was
deeply moved by the event. "It
was very touching and moving.
They did [ the vigil] in a really good
way. It deeply

Chapel does not accomodate the large turnout far vigil
by
JORDANEIBLE
Staff Writer
Sept.I 1, 2001 was a day of sor-
row, mourning
,
grief, confusion,
anger, and trepidation.
Sept.11, 2002 was a day ofheal-
ing, remembrance, hope, prayer,
and union.
I
commend the way Marist Col-
lege reacted one year ago upon the
horror that was Sept. 11, 200 l.
However,
I
was slightly disap-
pointed with the commemoration
last week. The candlelit vigil held
Wednesday evening could have
been a truly unique and unifying
event for the campus. Instead, it
came off as ill-planned, segregat-
ing the crowd that gathered to re-
member.
Although
I
realize the turnout
was larger than expected and the
weather was an issue of concern,
I
feel that more should have been
done to accommodate all of those
who attended. Last year, the
grotto proved to
be
the perfect
place to provide a comforting and
welcoming area to come together.
The chapel did not serve the same
function.
Seating for just over 300 people
was not nearly enough for the re-
markable number that colkx;ted that
night. It forced more than two-
thirds of the crowd to remain out-
doors, unable to hear or see the
goings on inside. While the fortu-
nate few who did receive seats, as
well as those who stood within a
few feet of the chapel doors were
treated to a special tribute, the rest
remained ignored. They knew
nothing of the prayers, songs, and
words of encouragement that were
proudly delivered. It was through
no fault of their own that they did
receive the same healing as others
did that night.
With the impressive technology
that Marist boasts,
I
find it disap-
pointing that no outdoor sound
system or other adjustments were
made to accommodate us. After
the great support of last year's
vigil, it surprises me that adminis-
trators did not expect as strong of
a response from the Marist com-
munity this year.
I appreciate the planning that did
go into the event and the people
who spoke that night.
I
have
heard from those who congre-
gated inside that it was absolutely
amazing, but I would not know for
myself. I was given a candle and
nothing else. The only poignant
thing
I
walked away with that night
was the sight of so many caring
and proud Americans in one place
at the same time.
I hope that the lack of accommo-
dations does not dissuade stu-
dents from attending such events
in the future. Their presence was a
comfort to at least one person. So,
thank you.to those who took time
to join quietly in honor of2,800 lost
lives. And to the administration,
better planning next time, please

When new students walked on
to the campus grounds for the first
Jime
two
weeks ago, they were
looking at a completely different
campus then what my class saw
two years ago when we were
freshman.
These renovations took much
time and money tO' finish, but now
the product that we see is what
will build even more character to
our already beautiful campus.
Back when I was a fre
s
hman
,
Champagnat was the place to be,
because it was the biggest and the
blast that would leave eve_!Ythi~g
barren and unusable for the next
five thousand years or so. It's a
scary thought that transforms it-
self into an even scarier thought,
due to the fact that it is now a fore-
seeable option.
We may be going to war soon,
even if it's not this year, and even
if it's not a war against any spe-
cific nation. It may just
be
the con-
tinuation of this vaguely titled
"War against Terrorism," or it may
be a new war with Iraq or China. I
sit back and
think
about how this
makes me feel and I can't really
come to a conclusion. I think that
I'm just scared of what the world
has only seen twice, the detona-
tion of a nuclear weapon.
With
cleanest freshmen dorm. Many of
·
my peers told me that Sheahan
was dirty and smelly, and after
walking in the building a few times
myself, I agreed completely with
their sentiments.
First of all, let me say that
Sheahan Hall is probably the dorm
that has come along the farthest.
Back in 2000 when I arrived, it was
three floors offilth, horrible smells,
and bad air. Since that time; all of
the freshman dorms have been in-
spected, damages assessed
,
and
corrections made. Now that
Sheahan Hall is back on the
·
map,
the technological advances our so-
ciety has made in the last thirty
years, any country could come out
•
of left field with a nuclear bomb.
Even India had one, and they're not
even a threat, to us or to anyone
for that matter. Yet the point is that
if they can develop one, and other
countties can test them under-
ground, then some lunatic who's
in the right place, with the right
power, at the right time, could take
the lives of over 100, 000 people.
I would love to take my family and
move to the Netherlands or some-
where else like Iceland and live the
remainder of our days on earth,
knowing simply that we will have a
remainder of days on earth. I know
that there is no particular focus to
students will be requesting that
dorm as their first choice when pick-
ing where to live as a freshman.
I remember when I was a fresh-
man, thinking how horrible it wolJ}d
be to live in a room with another
person the same size as my own
bedroom back home. Well, the
folks who reworked Leo Hall have
fixed that very problem. Not only
are the dorms now spacious
enough for two people to live in
comfortably
,
but a third person
could probably fit comfortably as
well. My congratulations go to the
administration of the college who
what
I
am saying, other than ex-
pressing the fears and the doubts
that I have about our future. When
did we all stop working towards a
common goal of achieving a glo-
bal community?
We were not placed on this earth
to act as separate entities, each
vying for their own superiority
and dominance over the rest. We
all share the same form, are born
in the same manner, and share the
common bond of uncertainty
about our origins and our sp1ri-
tual destinations. Why do we act
as separate countries with sepa-
rate interests when we're all play-
ing the same game, and in reality,
we're all on the same team?
I don't know why we have come
first realized that there was a ma~
·
jor problem and then actually fixed
it. If the same could
be
said for
the quality of food in the cafete-
ria, you would have the happiest
college students in the nation,
here at Marist.
The last dorm that I will speak of
being renovated is unfortunately
Marian Hall, which, in my opin-
ion, they waited a year too long to
renovate. I was a resident of
Marian Hall last year, and I felt that
the outside fa1yade needed to be
redone
,
especially painted; how~
ever, I am not happy with the color
to the point were there must be a
most feared nation on the planet:
the bad-ass America that will kick
your butt if you mess with her.
Why must we fight fire with fire?
Can't we just pile up a lot of water
and put all of the fires out? We
must realize that aggression leads
to more aggression, which leads to
further separation which leads to
further tension, which leads to hate
and which will ultimately lead to
the ultimate aggression. Then
there will be no more hurt, no more
suffering, and no more pain be-
cause there will be nothing left at
all.
that w~ chosen. The maroon-type
color that is superimposed on the
plain black hue, in my opinion,just
does not work.
·
I think that there
should just have been a uniform
look to all of the dorms and not
have them separated by color. Leo
and Sheahan look similar from the
outside,sowhycan'tMarian? The
real
problem with Marian, however,
lies within the dorm, which is bare
in furnishings and feels like a
prison to live in. Unless the inte-
rior of the dorm is reworked, I
would much rather recommend Leo
and Sheahan Halls to students,
rather than dreary old Marian.

It
happens to be a known fact
that people will do just about any-
thing for a buck. Add a camera
and a campus full of college stu-
dents and this becomes the basis
for the season premiere ofMTV's
new hit television show "I Bet You
Will."
Armed with a large chunk of
·
money and a crazy imagination,
MTV transformed the campus
Green into a circus.
"It
is crazy to see what some
people will do when they're poor,"
cried one spectator.
Smashing cell P,hones, de-
stroying purses, and eating the
strange and disgusting, Marist
students fell prey to the hunger
for money.
"I had no idea that the eggs
were fermented," explained
sophomore Kerin Sevron. "But
when they offered me $10 an egg,
I had to do it."
Kerin was one willing partici-
pant in the MTV game. She was
presented with a bet to pick up as
many fermented duck eggs as she
could off the bottom
of
a tub filled
with a mixture of flour and water.
Seems easy, right? The catch: she
was
only
allowed to use her teeth.
"I had to do it. People in the
crowd were guessing to see how
many I would pull out," st~ted
Kerin.
In the end, she racked up 10
out of a possible 20 eggs. Receiv-
.
ing a couple of pats on the back,
Kerin
thought
that her
bet was
While some walked away with
a feeling of success after complet-
ing a bet, other were not prepared
for the consquences.
According
to
The
Poughkeepsie Journal,
another
Marist student was not so ec-
o v er.

would walk away with $400.
"My sister stood next to me,
telling me 'Just walk away. Don't
do it!' But I will do just-about any-
thing," declared Kerin.
She consumed all l

static after her purse was sacri-
ficed to the MTV gods.
As the crowd cheered "Do it,"
Beth Wunder watched as her bag
and all of its contents, including
a
cell phone and
a
camera, were
publically destroyed by a
sledge-
hammer.
"I didn't think it would be this
drastic," Wunder said.
However, Wunder's attitude
seemed to brighten when the host
handed her $400.
"I can get better stuff with
that," said a smiling Wunder, as she
spoke of the money she received.
Broken hand bags seemed to
be
the
least
drastic
of
consquences to a bet. Tom
Ottaviano, a freshman, lost a bet
when he had trouble keeping down
pungent fish.
"That is so gross. I didn't know
that people would go that far to
make a dollar," stated Emily Rims,
a sophomore spectator.
"I Bet You Will" seems to thrive
on the poor and desperate. Thus,
college students
·
seem to be the
perfect target for such a show.
It
is
the things like this that only hap-
pen while one is in college. So,
take some advice from Kerin
Sevron: "You only live once.
You've just gotta do it."
The season premiere ofMTV's
"I Bet You Will" will air on Sep-
tember 23, 2002, at 5:30P.M. The
footage filmed at Marist will be
divided up and shown throughout
the season, so stay tuned.

access
personal
data on the
Marist network. Students should
never give out their k-account
password to anyone. Some of the
services assessable through the
student's k-account include view-
ing schedules, number of priority
points, checking Marist money
accounts, along with any other
service that contains individual in-
formation.
Using k-accounts to access the
Internet can be a hassle for some,
but for others like freshman
Lauren Murphy, it's worth it. "It is
a pain, but it's security and it's
worth it because no one can view
your information."
The System~ Department and the
Technology Department do not
this as a way of monitoring what
students and professors view
online
"One would hope that resources
are used correctly," said JoAnn
DePue, Manager of Training De-
velopment
and Support.
Hopefully, Marist has weeded
out the people who have caused
problems with availability and who
have
used these
computers to
obtain

kind of
information.

While many students on-cam-
pus are enthusiastic about the the-
atrical idea, some students living
off-campus have yet to hear of it.
"I would have gone, but I sup-
pose they just didn't publisize off-
campus," wondered one off-cam-
pus resident.
Although off-campus residents
were disappointed about the be-
lated
news of the movies, most were
elated to hear of a third chance.
For the showing of
Spiderman
and
Harry Potter and the
Sorcerers Stone,
students made
pop-com and grabbed blankets.
They piled onto the Green as early
as fifteen minutes before the open-

to roll.
"It is nice to
see that so many
students want to

Dowling added,
"It

Dave
Bind
er retu1·n
s
to
byMEGANLIZOITE
Steff Writer
Singer and
guitarist
Dave Binder,
played a remarkable
.
performance
here at Marist on Tuesday, Sep-
tember 10th on the Champagnat
green for students and faculty. He
provided the perfect getaway from
work and the stresses of Septem-
ber 11th with
Fire & Rain: An
Evening of
James Taylor.
This event was a nostalgic
stopover through 20 years of
James Taylor's most memorable
music. The audience was
obviously quite impressed with
Binder's talent as they cheered him
on for his requested opening song,
"Line Em' Up." Following the
song, he introduced the life of
James Taylor.
Born in 1948, James Taylor's mu-
sical talents stemmed from his
mother, whowas a classical singer.
His first endeavor playing music
was on the cello. As he got older,
he wanted a change, so he picked
up the
guitar.
~is music was based
upon his life and the lessons he
stumbled across.
In the 1970s, James Ta~or de-
fined the sensitive singer/
songwriter stereotype. In the pro-
cess he lifted the folk singing tra-
dition out of the coal- mines and
protest marches, making earnest
lyrics and acoustic guitar safe for
the condominium crowd.
Binder added, "James got se-
verely addicted to heroin, then
bringing him to England. His first
record contract was in 1968 in
Lon-
don, England.
It
was known as
James Taylors Greatest Hits."
While in England, he y;rote about
missing his home in North Caro-
lina in his hit song, ·"Gone to Caro-
lina."
The crowd sang along, recogniz-
ing known lyrics and praising
Binder for his talents. They
clapped along to the 1974 hit,
"Whenever I See Your Smiling
Face." This song has a very mean-
ingful context to it. Taylor wrote
it
after he did a movie with the Beach
Boys in 1971. He married singer
Carly Simon the next year, and re-
leased a series of albums featuring
numerous duets with his new
bride. They had a daughter named
Sarah. This song was a tribute to
her "smiling face."
The best album of this period is
considered to be
Gorilla,
which
included tile cover of Marvin
Gaye's "How Sweet It Is (TQ Be
Loved By You)," a song that is still
in heavy rotation on adult contem-
porary stations everywhere.
Despite his reflective reputation,
Taylor's biggest hits were other
people's songs. 1971 's "Mud Slide
Slim and the Blue Horizon" featured
the hit version of Carole King's
"You've Got A Friend" and ce-
mented his reputation as the Alan
Alda of
pop.
According to Binder, one of the
funniest songs Taylor recorded
was "Mexico." He said, "It (the
song) doesn't make sense until you
the band went to Mexico. Now,
kqowing
everyone. s
been to
Cancun, you know you can't drink
the water, right? Well, no~ them.
Taylor drank too much of it, got
sick, and spent his entire vacation
in the bathroom. Binder said,
"That's where he wrote the song,"
tapping his foot, "It starts like this,
'You need no reason to move .. .'
(meaning he never left the bath-
room)."
To change up the James Taylor-
·
tone ofBinder's show, he opted to
perform his own music. His heart-
gripping and compelling tribute to
9/ l l, "The Day America Cried" was
riveting and definitely struck many
emotions in the audience. This
song had been previously heard
on IMUS in the Morning on
MSNBC, as well as John
Rothmann's show on KGO Radio
in San Francisco.
For all of you who couldn't at-
tend, the SPC chose a great per-
was able to interest and excite the
crowd and provide an all-around
great mixture of James Taylor's
work and his own work. He pro-
vided a charismatic and upbeat
performance, sure to please any
crowd. He is definitely more than
your ordinary solo performer.
Dave Biflder began his career in
1979 and has since showcased in
six regions of the U.S. at 12 show-
cases including a national show-
case in Nashville. He has been a
Campus Entertainer of the Year
nominee for ten years running and
performs exclusively on college
campuses and at ClubMeds
throughout the world. Learn more

Ang
e
la's.Ashes: A Memoir
By Frank Mccourt
Genre: Biography/Memoir
"Worse than the ordinary miser-
able childhood is the miserable
Irish childhood, and worse yet is
the miserable Irish Catholic child-
hood."
Angela s Ashes
captures the
reader as soon as it begins.
It
re-
lates the tragic childhood ofFrank
Mccourt, born in Depression-era
Brooklyn to recep.t Irish immi-
grants. Believing there was a bet-
ter way of life back in Ireland, the
family returned to their homeland,
but the situation was
·
not much
better, perhaps even worse, then
what they originally encounte
r
ed
inNewYork.
What follows is the tale ofFrank
and his family, told to us through
the author's eyes, as he was raised
in the slums of Limerck, Ireland.
Ange
l
a, Frank's mother, can barely
feed her children, with no help from
her hus
b
and, Malac
h
y, who rarely
.
works. Even when he does, he
squanders the money on pints in
the local pub ( sadly he is a model
for the negative
drunk
Irish ste-
reotype).
As a result, Frank and his broth-
ers grow accustomed to a life of
poverty: from picking up coal on
the roadsides, being turned away
from the church, and even begging
for a pig's head for Christmas din-
ner, they are always hungry, but
manage to survive. That is not true
for three of his siblings however,
such as his little sister Margaret,
who end up dying from minor ill-
ness complicated by starvation.
Mccourt has the ability to make
the reader feel the griefhe experi-
from it.
McCourt has an incredibly inti-
mate writing style, filled with hu-
n:ior and eloquence that makes it
seem as ifhe was sitting across from
the reader, telling his tale.
It
is also
amazing that Mccourt can retell his
childhood with such detailed and
humorous imagery, especially when
the memories are often less than
enjoyable. The viewpoints are pre-
sented as Mccourt grows from a
nai"ve child to a grown man. The
following is one such example of
this conversationalist style
McCourt weaves as he retells one
night he was sent out by his mother
to find his father in the pubs.
"My heart is banging away in my
chest and I don't know what to do
because I know I'm raging inside
like my mother by the fire and all I
can think of doing is running in
and giving him a good kick in the
leg and running out again but I
don't because we have the morn-
ings by the fire when he tells me
.
about Cuchulain and De Valera and
Roosevelt and if he's there
drunk
and buying pints with the baby's
money he has that look in his eyes
Eugene had when he searched for
Oliver and I might as well go home
and tell my mother a lie that I never
saw him cou
l
dn't find him."
Not only is
Angela sAshesdeeply
moving, it is also entertaining and
fast-moving. As soon as I was fin-
ished, I wanted to read it again, and
I'm sure I'll be picking it up for a
second read in the future. I highly
recommend taking time out of a
busy schedule to read this Pulitzer
Prize masterpiece, written by what
may be one of the greatest Irish writ-
ers in a long time.

same as always that morning, with
them both
having
looks of concern
on their faces. "We have to put in
on the TV," the student said as the
two began fidgeting with the box
hanging from the upper left comer
of the room. I had no idea what
they were talking about, nor did I
really care to be honest. I figured
it would not interest me anyway.
"Why do they have to make these
things so complicated?" the pro-
fessor asked after a number of un-
successful attempts to work the
TV.
"All right," he said, "let's go in the
hallway. They have a TV set up
-
out there." For the first time, I took
interest. "What's going on?" I
asked the girl, still clueless.
"A plane just hit the World Trade
Center," she replied.
The way she said it did not alarm
me. I figured some small single
engine plane had grazed a tower or
something. I
think
that is what most
people initially thought. In fact, I
made a joke with a classmate on
the way out. "I was over there
checkin' the fantasy baseball
stats," he said. "Me too," I
laughed, as we exited the room.

showed a replay of the second
tower getting hit. "Holy*@"#," I
yelled to the kid next to me, think-
ing it was a live shot. "Did you see
that?" I had never seen him be-
fore, but that really no longer mat-
tered. "That was a tape man," he
said without ever taking his eyes
off the screen. "That already
hap-
pened."
Then a breaking news flash ap-
peared on the screen: Fire at the
Pentagon. The relationship of the
two events did not register right
away.
It
flashed again, same mes-
sage. Fire at the Pentagon. '~This
is not a coincidence," I thought.

put on the
'rV,
must have thought
the same thing, because she let out
a frightening shriek full offear and
disbelief that I will never forget.
It
sent chills down my spine then,
and still does now when I think
about it.
Never anticipating the Towers
falling; the professor brought us
back into the room and explained
how great journalists could not
cower in these situations. The
class talked for a half hour or so,
then he sent us
on
our way. By the
time we
returned
to the hallway
tube, the Towers had fallen.
"What do you mean they fell?" I
asked a friend of mine who was
standing there with
an
expression
on his face as blank as I've ever
seen.
"It
means just that," he said.
"They fell."
I
decided
I wanted to watch the
rest of the day unfold with my
housemates, surrounded by the
comforts of my home and friends.
Right before I reached my house, I
ran into one of my very good
friends who was heading back to-
wards his home. "Can you believe
this?" I said, not knowing what else
to say.
"Our
country is falling apart," he
said angrily. I suppose that is also
what the terrorists who planned
this attack thought would happen
to our country.
They were wrong. My friend.
The terrorists.
All
of them.
They were counting on the loss
of lives, but not on the emergence
of
legions
of heroes, or the unifi-
cation of a nation. Nor were they
counting on a U.S. response that
was as swift and destructive as it
was
decisive.
In the days
leading
up to the one-
year anniversary of 9/11, I heard
many folks say that we must not
forget. Rest assured, that will never
happen.
I believe that is not the only thing
that will never
happen.
Contrary
to what a good
of
friend mine
thought that day, the United States
of America will never fall apart.

Football lo~king for first 3-0 start
in program's history
by
PETER PALMIERI
Sports Editor
After cruising to a 28-0 victory
over Metro Atlantic Athletic Con-
ference (MMC) foe Canisius, the
Marist College football team is
looking for its first 3-0 start in the
program's history when it travels
to take on Duquesne on Saturday.
Duquesne owns a 7-2 record
against the Red Foxes, dating back
to the 1993 season. Marist won
the first ever meeting between the
two teams and followed it up with
arepeatperfonnancein 1994. How-
ever, Duquesne has won the last
seven matchups, including a 21-10
victory last season.
Marist enters the game as the 4th
ranked team in The Sports Network
I-AA Mid~Majorpoll, after earning
wins over Sacred Heart and
Canisius. Duquesne is the #2 team
in the poll. The Dukes are also the
three-time defending MAAC cham-
pions and have only lost one
MAAC game during their champi-
onship run.
WHO'IOWATCH
Leading the way for the
Red
Foxes
is a ground attack that is averag-
ing 340 rushing yards per game,
tops in the MAAC. Chris Price
ranks eighth in the nation for Divi-
sion I-AA rushers with 330 yards.
Alfredo Riullano is 31st on that list
with 238 yards, but ranks tenth in
the nation for Division I-AA in av-
erage yards per game, with 118
yards per game.
Riullano was named the
MAAC Offensive Player of the
Week for his performance against
Canisius {112 yards, 20 carries, 3
TD's). Price was named the
MAAC Offensive Player of the
Week last week, for his perfor-
mance
against
Sacred Heart ( 166
yards, 25 carries, 2TD's ). For his
efforts, Price also earned Divi-
sion I-AA National Co-Offen-
sive Player of the Week honors
by Don Hansen of National
Weekly Football Gazette.
The running back tandem has
combined for 564 yards rushing
in the first two games.
Kevin Bielen is second in the
MAAC with 113 passing yards
per game.
Niel Loebig
ranks
one place be-
hind Bielen with 96.5 passing
yards per game for Duquesne,
but ranks first in quarterback ef-
ficiency with a 144.3 quarterback
rating.
WHERE1BEYSfAND
Marist won its first two games
for the first time since the 1993
season. The team lost its first
five games of the season last
year. With its win over Canisius
on Saturday, Marist is tied with
five teams for first place in the
MAAC with a 1-0 conference
record.
Duquesne continued its
MAAC winning
streak
to 17 games
when it defeated Siena on Satur-
tlay.
The Dukes are also 2-0 on the
season and 1-0 in the MAAC.
Duquesne is allowing just over
100 rushing yards per game on de-
fense and 104 yards in the air. On
the other side of the ball, the team
is second in the conference in scor-
..---------------y
ing offense with 26 points per
game.
LASfWEEK
A solid running game and strong
defense provided Marist with a
victory in its first conference game
of the season.
The defense forced six turnovers,
including two intercepts by Ian
Jackson and three sacks from Rob-
ert Thompson. Thompson also
forced a fumble and recovered one.

At first glance the Marist
women's soccer team's 1-4 early
season record is cause for alarm.
Then again, the Foxes may be
on the way to developing the
same karma that they rode all the
way to the Metro Atlantic Ath-
letic Conference (MAAC) cham-
pionship game last November.
Last season the Foxes struggled
during their September non-con-
ference schedule, losing all seven
matches.
However, once the Foxes found
themselves under the bright
lights of meaningful MAAC con-
tests, they excelled to an 8-1
record and first regular .season
crown.
Still, if the Foxes are to once
again pull off a 180-degree about-
face come conference time, they
will have to awaken a slumbering
offense.
The Foxes fell 3-0 to Big East foe
Providence College on Leonidoff
Field September 15.
It was the third consecutive game
in which Marist had been shutout.
The Foxes have not scored since
Stacy Ryan's goal iti the 20th
minute in
a
loss to St. Bonaventure
September 6.
The loss to
Providence
was also
the fourth straight for Marist, after

son.
The team's scoring difficulties
mirror those held by last season's
team during non-conference play.
The Foxes were shutout four times
last season in non-conference
matches.
However, when the calendar
flipped to October, and MAAC
play began, the offensive flood-
gates were opened somewhat. This
of course remains to be seen with
this team.
The ingredients are there though.
Tara Savidge, who had five goals
to lead the team last year, returns
for
her
junior season.
In
addition,
Libby Ludwig -who had four goals
last season as a freshman
-
should
be even more polished as
a
soph<r
more.
One of the most important assets
the Foxes have returning from last
season is 2001 MAAC goalk~per
of the year Mellanie Nai. These-
nior, from Suffield, CT, averaged 8.5
saves a game a year ago and had
four shutouts.
.
Nai is one of nine seniors that
dot the veteran roster.
The team's experience, as well as
last season's championship game
appearance has not been lost on
coaches around the MAAC. Marist
was tabbed to finish second in the
conference, behind
defending
champion Loyola.
Despite
its struggles early on, the
rest of the MAAC schools have
also been struggling in non-con-
ference play.
All
IO
schools are a combined 11-
31-3. Niagara is 5-0-l against non
conference foes and Loyola is 2-2
Other than those teams, no othe
MAAC team has more than on
victory out of the conference, in
