Koestner speaks at Mafist
Sexual assualt
expert
tells h~r own
story
in an attempt
to educate
By KATHERINE SLAUTA
Managing Editor
An average rapist will strike
12 to 17 times before he goes
to jail.
This was just one of the many
surprising and yet disappoint-
ing facts presented in a SGA-
hosted event last Tues. October
22 by Katie Koestner,-a nation-
ally recognized sexual assault
expert and rape survivor.
Koestner's presentation, en-
titled "No-Yes," discussed the
topics of sexual assault and
sexual harassment. The presen-
tation also focused on the safe
college experience, including
the fundamental necessities of
successful sexual communica-
tion, responsibility in the use
of drugs and alcohol and re-
spect, for self and for peers.
The Nelly Goletti Theater was
filled with silence, accompa-
nied by the occasional gasps of
disbelief as Koestner told her
story to both students and fac-
ulty.
A freshman at the College of
William and
Mary
in Virginia,
Koestner considered herself
very lucky to be dating a good-
.
looking student named Peter
within a few weeks of arriving
at the college.
"He looked like a model out
ofGQ," she said.
Her life changed forever one
evening when Koestner invited
Peter back to her dorm room to
dance to tape mixes she had
created.
"I know there are people
thinking 'why did you invite
him to your room,"' she said.
"You
may think
I was naive. But is it
naive to think
I could invite my
boyfriend to my room simply
to
dance?"
That evening, Peter was
physically assertive towards
Koestner, attempting to remove
her clothing. Koestner said the
situation made her feel very un-
comfortable but, because of
her shy nature, she did not
know how to handle the
situation.
"At 18 I would not have
told you I was assertive," she
said.
Peter's continuous at-
tempts at sexual intercourse
grew stronger and more ag-
gressive, to the point where
he had her on the ground
unable to move. Finally af-
ter many struggles with
Koestner, he left her alone
and went to sleep.
Koestner also said to think of
the victims as a mother, sister,
or a daughter.
"Please do better than sit in
this room to stop rape," she
said. "What would each of you
be willing to do? Will rape end
if it is just a joke? If someone
were to tell a joke about rape
how many will laugh? How
many will stand silently? And
how many will say 'excuse me
I
don't find that very funny?'"
For someone who was once
so shy, Koestner has come a
long way.
Koestner reminded the au-
dience it is easy to examine
the incident after the fact
and be judgmental. Living
the experience was another
story.
"I
liked him," she said. . ..
I
liked him a lot.
I don't want
Katie Koestner speaks to the student
body
about her experiences In an
attemp to make students more aware
of sexual assault and harrassment.
She has made over
1000 pre-
sentations to schools, youth
groups and other organizations
in North America. She has ap-
peared on shows such as NBC
Nightly News, the Oprah
Wi,ifrey
Show, Good Morning
America, and
Larry King Live.
She also contributed to articles
you to forget that part."
The next morning Peter awoke
to find Koestner awake in the cor-
ner, having not slept at all the pre-
vious evening upset by Peter's ag-
-gressiveness.
"He said
'I
promise you it will
never happen again'," she said.
"He looked and sounded so sorry.
I let down my guard."
Koestner then attempted
to fall asleep. Peter, again,
began to become sexually
aggressive, and eventually
raped Koestner.
"He said 'thank you very
much, I'll see you at break-
fast';' she
said "I
ran
down
the hall to the bathroom
and threw up."
Koestner's horror story
did not end after the rape.
Police told her she had a
15 percent chance of
win-
ning
a
trial case, so it would
be a waste of time
.
The
dean of the College ofWil-
liam and Mary punished
Peter by not allowing him
to enter the fel)lale dormi-
tory for a semester. He then
proceeded to tell the
couple he hoped they
could work
out their differences and get back
together in the spring.
Koestner was also ostracized by
the student body, being voted the
"most dangerous man." She said
she had sandwiches thrown at her
and people constantly called her
names.
.
Koestner has been telling her
story since the rape occurred 12
years ago.
"Sometimes
I
think it is a good
way to deal with the pain," she
said. "The problem is that I'd
heard about l
O
stories of rape for
every time I've told it."
Koestner said that
84 percent of
rapists are someone the victim al-
ready knows.
Koestner asked the audience
what they thought her impression
ofmenwas.
"Do you think I hate men," she
said. "Do you think I eat them for
breakfast?"
The presentation also focused on
the role of men and what they can
do to stop rape.
"The men who aren't in this room
are the ones who should be in it,"
she said. "They think 'that's not
my issue, I'm not a rapist. Besides,
I have better things to do'."
in TIME magazine, the New York
Times, the Los Angeles Tribune,
and hundreds of other newspapers.
HBO also produced a program tell-
ing her story, entitled ''No Visible
Bruises: The Katie Koes.tner
Story."

Sunday
10/20
As many students made their way
back to campus Sunday, it ap-
peared as though one student may
have decided to enter through the
North Field. The grounds depart-
ment found tire treads on the field
when they were making their morn-
ing rounds at about 8:00 a.m.
Tuesday
10/22
The mid-semester break wasn't
enough to calm down the barrage
of vandalism that has been hitting
dorms on campus. Students came
back eager to vandalize again ap-
parently, and Champagnat was an
early target. Someone placed tape
over the drain of a sixth floor men's
bathroom and turned the water on.
The water overflowed and found
it's way down to the fifth floor and
into a couple of the rooms. There
was damage to some clothes, and
the aquatic assailant is still on the
loose.
Wednesday
10/23
A student stumbled into Donnelly
Hall to use the bathroom at about
1 :25 a.m. The walking impaired stu-
dent had a bit too much
fun
that
night and was spotted by security
tripping over his/her own feet and
promptly sent to St. Francis Hos-
pital for precautionary measures.
Wednesday
10123
The familiar sounds of the blaring
fire alarm filled Gartland's E-block
again at about 7 :05 p.m. Some stu-
dents were trying to prepare a feast
fit for a king but were left with a
burnt mess not even fit for a peas-
ant. After burning some food
·
on
the stove, the students put out
·
their own fire in an attempt to avoid
being published in the security
briefs. But the diligentFairview fire
department responded anyways,
and a full report was taken.
Wednesday
10/23
Those crazy Marian Hall kids were
up to their old tricks again at about
8:05 p.m. The RD smelled the pun-
gent odor of burning paper and
rushed to the scene. Up_on ap-
proaching the smoldering embers,
the fire had burned out on its own,
and no damage was done.
Thursday
10/24
A student had just finished enjoy-
ing
a lovely meal prepared by the
fine folks at Sodexho in the cafete-
ria and decided to finish the dining
experience with a couple of scoops
ofice cream at about 8: 15 p.m. The
student walked to obtain her tasty
treat and came back to find that her
purse had been stolen. In the
purse was $20, which is still miss-
ing.
Friday
10/25
There was a report of student vom-
iting in the East Stairwell of
Sheahan Hall at about 10:30 p
.
m.
The student, trying to appear so-
ber, originally claimed that he was
suffering from a case of food poi-
soning. The student apparently
could not take the guilt oflying and
confessed that the vomiting was a
direct result of excessive consump-
tion of alcohol.
Saturday
10126
A Leo student was found by the
entry officer to be stumbling back
into the freshman dormitory in an
intoxicated state after a night of
partying a wee bit too hard at 11 :00
p.m. The student came close to
knowing when it was time to call it
a night, so he was not transported
to St. Francis and was allowed to
sober up in the lobby before retir-
ing to his room for the night.
Saturday
10/26
Someone had tipped off the
Midrise entry desk officer that a
student was staggering around at
the bottom of the Midrise steps at
3:58 a.m. A security patrol was
called, and the student was found
and taken to the friendly confines
of St. Francis Hospital.
Sunday
10127
Gartland E-block was the site of the
first casualties of Sunday. In the
early morning hour of I :00 a.m., the
on duty RD was making rounds and
noticed an apartment to be
producinspection of the raucous
bunch uncovered a wide array of
alcoholic beverages. Among the
liquids confiscated were 11 cans
ing excessive amounts of noise.

Hazing has become a ritual for more than just the Greeks
By NICHOLE WALLACE
Staff Writer
When most people hear the word
hazing, they think of Fraternities
and Sororities. However, times
have changed, and some of the
most unlikely people, such as mu-
sic groups and athletic organiza-
tions, are now a part of a growing
problem.
Hazing, as defined in the Marist
Student Handbook, is "an act
which endangers the mental or
physical health or safety of a stu-
dent or which destroys or removes
public or private property, for the
purpqse of initiation, admission
into, affiliation with, or as a condi-
tion for continued membership in
a group or organization."
At last month's Leadership Con-
ference,
Dean
Dicaprio made it clear
that hazing is an important issue
on which many people need to be
educated. She feels there is much
confusion about its exact defini-
tion.
"Its hard to say what is and isn't
[hazing] when the government
doesn't really have a d~finite defi-
nition either," she said. "When a
student is woken in the middle of
the night, and then once he's home
woken again, that's hazing."
CNN recently reported an appar-
ent hazing event that involved two
women pledging for the African
American sorority, Alpha Kappa
Alpha. The lawsuit stated that they
were "blindfolded and tied by their
hands and their bodies and led into
the rip tide of the ocean." The two
women were forced to do this after

days of losing sleep as they did
difficult and embarrassing chores
for sorority members. Before they
entered the water on the last night
of their lives, ''they were told to
engage in a tiring set of rigorous
calisthenics on the sucking sand
of the beach," the lawsuit said.
While it is true that some Frater-
nities and Sororities do haze, it is
starting to ring true that clubs and
organizations such as band and
sports teams are as well. Recent
attention to this forced officials to
reprimand groups participating in
this dangerous activity. Dean
Dicaprio is hoping to form a com-
mittee with members from all orga-
nizations and clubs, so they can
darify and discuss hazing with not
just Greeks, but hopefully coaches.
Steve Sansola has developed a
great program that requires all new
members of organizations to clearly
understand what hazing is, before
joining the organization.
The Greeks are well aware of the
consequences of hazing. Jeff
Altieri, President of Zeta Psi, said,
"As much as everyone mocks the
information given at these meet-
ings, it is esseJ)tial to let people
know what is and what is not ac-
ceptable. Greek organizations in
other states tend to overextend
their boundaries, whereas in the
state of New York, we have very
strict laws prohibiting certain ac-
tions and Greek organizations
need to be aware of what these laws
are."
Kristie Edwards a member of
Sigma Sigma Sigma, also believes
hazing is an issue that needs to be
addressed and new introduction
methods should be created.
"I believe that the law against
hazing and the school definition of
hazing should correspond with
each other. Everyone should be
aware of the consequences and
not only be led to believe that it is
a problem within the Greek system.
Eliminating hazing has allowed or-
ganizations to rethink the old tra-
ditions and create new ways to
work with the new members on
learning about the group and its
history, which is the main goal."
Another student, Jay Mazloom
said, "initiation is one thing, but if
I am going to be hazed, I have no
desire to be part of that group."
What else is Marist doing? Right
now, nothing new. The same laws
and rules apply.

THE
CIRCLE
Sept. 11 possible trigger
for
high
attendance
in
Campus Ministry
by ALISSA BREW &
ALEXIS LUKES
Staff Writers
.
The largest student organization
on campus is becoming larger ev-
ery year. This year there has also
been an astounding increase in the
number of freshman students par-
ticipatin~ in Campus Ministry this
year.
Campus Ministry is an inter-de-
nominational group that provides
co~unity service opportunities,
while focusing on the spiritual as-
pects of a college student's life.
Brother Frank Kelly, director of
Campus Ministry said, "It's a tes-
timony to their goodness."
Never has there been this much
interest in this program. For the
past ten years the numbers have
been about l 00 participants in each
class. This year the freshman class
alone totals 454 students and 420
participate in community service
activities. In total there are 849
member of Campus Ministry this
year.
"This club
has two goals," Kelly
said. "One is in being attentive to
growing in our spiritual lives. The
other is becoming aware of the
needy and less fortunate."
The interest does not stop at sim~
ply joining the club. The commu-
nity service program affiliated with
Campus Ministry
has been flooded
with requests. There are 187 spots
to fill
j.n
the weekly community ser-
vice program. This year, Campus
Minister Matt Crandell received
420 requests from the freshmen
class alone.
The sizeable turnout is a reflec-
tion of the enthusiasm freshmen
class possesses.
"This class has a very positive
spirit," Kelly said. '"It represents
the openness and interest of the
class as a whole."
Never having dealt with such a
large numbers, though, the Cam-
pus Ministers are faced with some
difficulties in the coming year.
"On the positive side, this allows
us to reach more students and to
serve more people," Kelly said.
"The negative is that with the big
numbers, it's tough for everyone
to get to know each other."
Kelly, Father LaMorte, and
Crandell are working together to
ensure the continuing success of
the club.
The Campus Ministers, along
with their advisory
board, are work-
ing on ways to utilize all of the en-
thusiasm displayed by the fresh-
men class.
There are various reasons as to
the increased
·
involvement in this
activity. Marist has seen a swell in
the number of the other faiths at-
tending the college. About 85 per-
cent of the student population is
Roman Catholic and numbers keep
changing. Campus Ministry offers
something for all beliefs, making it
easier to get involved in any activ-
ity offered, whether it is a faith
group or the Hunger Run/Walk
program around the campus,
"This seems to be a more dy-
namic class," said Brother Frank.
These new students are also the
high school seniors of Sept. l l.
Brother Frank speculates the at-
tacks might have increased aware-
ness for the need to help out in the
community and to look deeper into
individual faith.
Campus Ministry
has provided
services to both students and the
community for over 25 years. One
goal of the program is to help
fur-
ther spiritual development. Cam-
pus Ministry has an incredible va-
riety of outlets students can use
to develop their spirituality such
as retreats, prayer services, Bible
study, and small faith groups.
This year's goal for the commu-
nity service program of Campus
Ministry is to provide more of a
variety to students, primarily be-
cause of freshman involvement.
"Each person has gifts and we
are helping to develop them," said
Brother Frank.
This activity draws different
people for different reasons. Fresh-
man Jenna Dimmick
said,
"I mostly
wanted to meet new people and I
heard that the community service
program was really good." Dimmick
participates in isolated activities
throughout the month and tries to
give her .time when
she can.

Been Waiting

man
Laura
Dempsey, choose

service at a local

Students discuss graduate school options with represenatlves
at the Graduate Forum held on Wednesday, October 2.
Calling all seniors:
Start preparing for the
'real'
world now
by REBECCA MOY
Staff Writer
Post-graduation plans are a big
debate amongst Marist seniors.
Most students probably feel bom-
barded with the never-ertding in-
terrogation coming either from a
curious relative, if not from within
themselves, of what their future wili
entail.
Some students may still be un-
sure of how to answer that ques-
tion, while others may alreacly
know that their next logical step is
to continue a fonnal educational at
a graduate school after
leaving
Marist.
"My decision to go to grad
school was made based on the con-
dition of the economy right now,''
said senior fine arts major, Melissa
Wong. "I know a lot of
people
that
graduated in my major last year
that still don't have jobs. I want to
make sure that I am up to or above
the competition before I put my-
self into that situation."
Many other upperclassmen are
also in the process of exploring the
option of attending graduate
school, W:hile others have already
begun the application process.
"Right now I want to continue
learning
so that I can sharpen and
expand my skills," said senior
Rosario Velazquez. "I have started
looking at schools on the Internet
and am attending in(onnational
graduate school meetings at
Marist."
If
a student has an interest in
going to graduate school, deci-
sions should
ideally
be made dur-
ing junior year, although it is not
too late
to
begin during senior year.
"I am looking into staying at
Marist for grad school because
they are offering the best package
deal of specific programs and
courses that I need and want ac-
cording to my major," said Stacey
Willis, a senior with a dual major in
Spanish and Criminal Justice.
Speaking to professors and stu-
dents within particular programs
can also help answer questions
and give students some idea of
what options are available.
Once into senior year, students
should begin collecting the neces-
sary components of the applica-
tion. Most
graduate
schools re-
quire students to take a standard-
ized test such as the GRE ( other
programs may require the GMAT,
MCAT, LSAT), one or more faculty
recommendations, an official tran-
script and a personal statement
essay.
"Probably the best advice that I
could give is to start early in the
semester, especially when it comes
to the faculty recommendations,"
said Career and Graduate School
Advisor Lisa Kooperman. "Every-
.
one begins applying at the same
time and the faculty is inundated
with requests. Waiting too long to
ask might put you into a very long
line and you risk not having parts
of your application ready when you
need them."
The personal statement essay is
an important way in which schools
learn about the applicant.
It is
im-
portant that students demonstrate
in the essay what they want to gain
by attending graduate school.
'
"Know what you want, and be
as
specific
as
possible,"
Kooperman said. "It's different
from coming in as an undergradu-
ate where you can be unsure and
change your mind, especially after
making such a large financial com-
mitment. Grad schools are looking
for people who know what they
want and who are going to finish
the program."
If
financial commitment is an ob-
stacle for potential graduate can-
didates,
·
assistantships are offered
at many schools. Finding an as-
sistantship can sometimes aid in
reducing tuition and many are paid
positions. Other fonns of financial
aid such as work-study programs,
grants-in-aid and student loans are
available.
The Center for Career Services
offers counseling for students in-
terested in graduate school. Spe-
cial attention is paid to finding the
right school for each individual,
entrance exam information, assis-
tance in the application process
and financial aid infonnation. There

a cold. With the sum-
mer months long behind us, cold
and flu season is here.
Students are especially suscep-
tible to these viruses by living in
the close quarters of campus hous-
ing and having to take care of them-
selves. Students, however, are not
unarmed in this battle against man's
age-old enemy. There are options
available for combating the cold
and flu season. Being infonped is
perhaps one of the
best. weapons.
The common cold

ing to USA Week-

try to distance
yourself from cold

If
you find yourself with the
sniffles, coughs, or a fever despite
your best efforts to avoid one,
waiting it out may
be
your best
option. While you wait it out, USA
Weekend suggests isolating your-
self (so you don't contribute to a
cold epidemic), drinking lots ofliq-
uids., getting plenty of rest and
using over-the-1,ounter remedies to
ease the symptoms. You are ca-
pable of spreading the cold from
one day before you show symp-
toms, until five days after you start
showing symptoms.
The flu is more severe than the
common cold - temperatures of
100-104 F, headache and muscle
ache, sore throat, and coughing
typically accompany it. The symp-
toms last from a couple days to a
week.
Flu vaccinations are now avail-
able at Health Services.
''The best time to get a flu shot is
prior to flu season in order to build
-up antibodies before the winter
starts," said O'Brien.
The vaccines are $15, are com-
pletely safe and students can make
an appointment that suits their
schedule during the week. Some
people·may experience a slight dis-
comfort at the sight of the injec-
tion. People with allergies to eggs
and egg products should not get
the vaccination.

Movie Treat:
The Ring gives
viewers only seven
days
to
live
by
PAUL
LUKASON
Staff Writer
The Ring
is everything that
The
Blair Witch Project
wanted
to
be,
but simply couldn't accomplish.
The Blair Witch Project
attempted
to scare the audience, but failed.
The mood and atmosphere the
movie created was not that intense
or frightening.
The Ring,
on the
other hand, captures the audience
from the opening sequence and
does not let them go until the cred-
its.
The Ring
is the first scary movie
that is actually scary.
The Ring
is a remake of a Japa-
nese film made in 1998 titled
Ringo.
The remake only samples the idea
of a video tape that after it is
watched, the viewer has only seven
days to live. Other than this plot
element,
The Ring
is quite a unique
story.
The story starts out with a girl
who has watched the tape one week
before the start of the story. Her
seven days are up and she is killed,
but the audience has no idea why
or how. Our heroine Rachael Keller
(Naomi Watts) is introduced at the
girl's funeral. Rachael, the girl's
aunt and a reporter, is destined to
find out what happened. She ques-
tions her niece's friends to see if
they know anything. A few girls
tell Rachael the story cif a tape and
that once it is watched, the phone
rings and the voice on the other end
says, "seven days." This means
that in seven days you will die.
Rachael bnly somewhat believes
the story, but is intrigued enough
to investigate the inn where her
niece watched the tape. She arrives,
finds the tape and
watches it.
She
is quite disturbed by its
contents,
but when it
is finished,
she
receives
a phone call
and a voice tells her
seven days. Rachael must now fig-
ure out
what is going on, and how
to save her
life before the seven
days is
up.
Marist.
Dr.
Walsh has held vari-
ous positions in public account-
ing, including with the tax depart-
ment of PricewaterhouseCoopers
and the audit department of
Deloitte and Touche.
"[The] competition required a
paper of 12 to 15 pages in length in
a narrowly defined area of taxa-
tion," said Walsh. "Each student
worked hard during the semester
to research and write her paper and
should be congratulated on her
accomplishment."
Two of the award-winning schol-
ars, Sartori and Rioual, were offered
accounting jobs immediately after
graduation. Sartori was hired by
the Poughkeepsie office for the
accounting firm Urbach Kahn and
Wedin. Rioual is now working for

Naomi Watts In her chilling role
as an aunt and reporter.
The Ring
stars the oldest undis-
covered talent, Naomi Watts.
Watts has been in very small pic-
tures before and was never quite
discovered by society.
If
any role
was going to allow her to break
into
stardom,
it is her role as re-
porter Rachael Keller. She
is
quite
convincing
as the scared, yet out-
going and intuitive
reporter.
She
lends magnetism to this some-
what
simplistic
role, and turns
it
into a powerful and memorable
one.
Director Gore Verbinski never
lets up the movie's eerie and chill-
ing mood. Verbinski
is
one of the
only directors to successfully cre-
ate a mood so terrifying that the
audience is always on the edge
ul
their seat anticipating the next
scare. The movie does not rely so
much on gory and frightening vi-
suals; it uses concepts that con-
tradict the audience's pre-notions
abqut what they think is happen-
ing.
The Ring
is almost a guess-
ing game, and plays with the
audience's feelings and emotions.
The movie tends to play with
your mind and forces you to cre-
ate your own visuals that are truly
terrifying. Verbinski is an excel-
lent director that will create a great
deal
of wonderful films of
all
genres
in the future.
The
Ring
will no
doubt
become a classic as it pro-
vide's
the
first genuinely terrify-
ing movie experience since
The
Exorcist
in 1973.
The Ring
is vi-
,
sually and mentally amazing to
watch and it is a treat to see some-
thing that is scary and a
delight
to
watch.

Congress shall pass no law ... abridging the freedom of spee9h or of the press.
Your words may do more damage than you think
by TIM DUGUAY
Staff Writer
As
an employee ofMarist College,
I
have found, first hand, that stu-
dents enjoy complaining about the
services the college has to offer
more often than complementing the
hard work that people put in every-
day.
Some of these students do not
even think twice about whom they
may be affecting when they make
rude comments. A case in point
came about the other day as
I
was
placing mail inside the mailboxes of
some of the students. A young man
was checking his mail and for the
sake of the paper
I
will not be as
graphic in telling what my ears were
forced to hear. In summary it was
basically about how much the
mailroom is the worst place on
campus and the mail is never on
time.
I have a couple of comments on
that subject. The post office has
worked hard in the past couple of
years in trying to cater to the
toughest needs of the students.
Once having only been open un-
til 4:30 p.m., they have now ex-
tended hours to 6:00 p.m. Mon-
day through Thursday for the
sake of convenience. This is still
not enough for some peopl~.
As
an employee working there a few
hours per day,
I
can safely say if
you do not find a couple of min-
utes in each day to check mail, it
. is your own fault.

Another part of campus that
people have problems with is our
dining service. There are not only
complaints about their hours as
well, but also about the quality of
food that they serve. What people
fail to realize is that with 4,000 stu-
dents on this campus and prob-
ably half of those dining on a daily
basis, they cannot make gourmet
meals for everyone.
There are two major points that
I
want to make about the dining ser-
vices portion of student's com-
plaints. First, the hours are based
on the availability of the workers
because as students complain
about it only being open until 7:00
p.m. for dinner, they are not even
thinking about the people that
have to work there that late. Sec-
ond, the chef and servers are work-
ing hard to provide food that is of
as high quality as it can be under
the standard of serving that many
people.
What
I
do not understand about
the complaints about the hours at
the dining service is that if people
really don't have time to dine be-
fore 7:00 p.m. and if they really get
hungry for
a
meal after that time,
there is still the Cabaret. The other
complaint that
I
heard just the other
day about the Cabaret is the price
of the food that they buy. The stu-
dent, who wished not to be identi-
fied, told me that the average meal
that he purchases at the Cabaret is
$10. That is fine, in my opinion,
because
I
am sure that there is a
reason that each item that they sell
is priced the way it is in each par-
ticular situation.
I guess that my point through-
out all of this is that being college
students with so much on your
minds,takethetimetoconcentrate
on more important things. Realize
that by complaining out loud,
somebody might be listening and
feel hurt that all ofhis or her effort
is not being recognized. People
work hard to make this campus run
smoothly and, in my opinion,
within the last couple of years there
have been vast improvements to
make the campus even better than
it already was. So, the next time
you think about picking
_
on the
post office or the cafeteria, make
sure you think about whom you
•
might be affecting .

A male's perspective on feminism
by SCOTT PERRELL
Staff Writer
We may squabble and debate
over whatthe word "feminism"
really means, and whether or not
we can apply that to ourselves.
To me, a feminist is someone who
believes in the equal opportunity
of women in our society.
I
recog-
nize that our culture is inherently
patriarchal and has consistently
subjugate'd and oppressed
women. Indeed, even the word
"woman" includes the word
"man"! The chips are stacked
against women, and it's high time
that
I
did something about it.
But wait... ifl'm a feminist
I
must
be a homosexual. Could you
imagine saying to your friends,
"I
support' women's rights."
You'd be labeled as "weird" or
"gay" pretty quickly. For men,
the rhetoric of women's rights is
something to avoid at all costs -
lest your opinions hint to others
that you aren't straight! For me,
saying anything to defend
women's rights is a big social no-
no. So much for equality, freedom
of speech, and the right to avoid
discrimination.
So why do we demonize men who
believe in the empowerment of
women? Why do we attach a nega-
tive stigma to men who speak out
and support a demographic whose
systematic oppression in this coun-
try is remarkable? I doubt seriously
if anyone can give me a fair answer
to that question - and if you can, I
encourage you to write to
The
Circle
and defend your position.
I've addressed the issue of dis-
crimination against guys ( especially
straight men) who defend women's
rights and exposed it as an imma-
ture exercise rooted in the same old
system of male superiority. But
now the question becomes, do men
have the proper perspective?
This is a question that I've tack-
led many times. I, as a man, have
no idea what it is like to be a woman.
It is a perspective that I'll never be
able to attain. What is it like to have
dozens of men look at a woman
sexually every day? What is it like
to get paid three-quarters of a man's
salary for comparable work? What
is
if
like to be the butt end of more
jokes than O.J. Simpson? I'll never
know. But does that mean
I
can-
not be an advocate?
I
say no. I've read the books,
I've seen the evidence and I've
witnessed the discrimination first
hand. We all have. In fact,
I
would
even venture to say that most of
us likely participate in these activi-
ties.
I
know
I
do. It's my fault, and
I'm wrong for doing it. It's only
partially society's fault - the other
part of the problem is me. I'm
young, and I have a lot ofbad hab-
its.
I
wish
I
could drop the patriar-
chal tendencies of my language
,
and embrace a holistic trend of dis-
course where I treat everyone with
the same respect
I
demand for my-
self.
That's a very difficult goal to at
0
tain, and honestly, it is something
I
work for.
I
speak for only myself
when
I
say that
I
was brought up
in a normal household in a normal
suburb, and the
"
norms" of soci-
ety were all around
m~.
Maybe
some of those norms should be
abandoned. The idea that women
are inferior is certainly one of them:
I'm working on it. Anyone who
isn't afraid is encouraged to join.

Punch-Drnnk
Love
scores
"K.O."
by ERIC S. HANSEN
Staff Writer
Adam Sandler has been criti-
cized throughout his movie ca-
reer as playing the same charac-
ter in every movie
:
a loud, obnox-
ious moron that has a short tem-
per and little idea of how to
handle himself in social situations
.
Although this description would
apply to his character in
Punch-
Drunk Love,
his character is
given more depth, and the audi-
ence is given insight about the
roots of these character flaws
.
Sandler plays Barry Egan, a
janitorial supplies salesman and
manufacturer with seven sisters
and a bad case of what appears
to be obsessive-compulsive dis-
order, though it is never clearly
defined. He has very few friends
outside of his family and cowork-
ers, and is so lonely that one night
he calls a phone-sex hotline just
so he can have someone to talk
to, and the operator ends up em-
bezzling hundreds of dollars from
his
credit
car_d company. Like Billy
Madison or Happy Gilmore, Barry
Egan is controlled primarily by his
impulses, and is liable to smash a
window with a hamIJ1er in a fit of
rage.

the late Stanley Kubrick. Also, like
in several Kubrick films, the hero
of the film is a man who's personal

I do not consider myself to be a
hardcore Adam Sandler fan. But, I
am not a "Sandler-basher'' either. I
have enjoyed his work in
Happy
Gilmore,Airheads,
and
Big Daddy
as well as his CDs and skits on
SNL. While this film is often
very
funny, I don't think I would label it
a comedy
,
and would probably not
recommend it to someone expect-
ing to see a typical Adam Sandler
fihn.
This film, however, does work
on the level of a drama, and is con-
stantly both unpredictable and en-
tertaining
.
Although Ido not think
Sandler can be labeled a "great dra-
matic actor" like Robert DeNiro or
Marlon Brando
,
he has proven that
he can handle dramatic material
,
and he is capable of developing his
character in means other than kicks
to the groin and fart jokes.

Time out with
The Goo Goo
Dolls
.
Performance at Mid-Hudson Civic Center tonight
by JENNIFER C. HAGGERTY
Editor-in-Chief
Nine interviews a day in three days.
This is downtime for Robby Takac, bass-
ist and vocalist of
The Goo Goo Dolls.
With
one week off between tours, he still man-
ages
to
successfully
balance fame and a new
marriage while living for the career he loves.
The Goo Goo Dolls
are kicking off their
fall tour tonight at 8 p.m. in the Mid-Hudson
Civic Center, with singer Lisa Loeb as their
opening act.
Goo
is promoting
Gutterflower.
their lat-
est
·album,
released in April 2002, which
bqasts the popular songs "Here is Gone"
and their current single, "Big Machine."
Accompanying Takac in the band is
gui-
tarist and singer John Rzeznik and drummer
Mike Malinin. Rzeznik, Takac and the origi-
nal drummer, George Tutuska, originated in
Buffalo, NY, and started out by playing small
gigs for little or no money, going under the
punk rock name the "Sex Maggots."
"We were just young and our band started
in 1986; we were barely 20-years-old and we
,
were very fast and very loud and we thought
that was a very ironic name," said Takac.
Throughout their fifteen-year career, Takac
said that he feels the band has changed since
their first independently pr~uc~d album,
The Goo Goo Dolls,
in 1987.
"I think we learned how to play along the
way. I think John sings a lot more, which I
think makes the records a lot more interest-
ing," said Takac. "I think along the way we
learned how to make records and I'm really
glad of that."
Goo
gained fame in 1995 with their hit,
"Name,"
and their status in the music world
skyrocketed with "Iris," in 1998, which
Rzeznik
wrote specifically for the movie
City
of Angels.
In addition, "Iris" was one of the
many hits off their 1998 album,
Dizzy Up The
Girl,
including
"Slide,"
"Black Balloon," and
"Broadway."
Their album hit sales of about
six million dollars.
Their newest and eighth album,
Gutterjlower,
show~ how
Goo
has grown
since they first began in 1987.
"I think it's our next set oflearning experi-
ences. We're a little older [and] maybe fix
some of the things that we decided were
wrong with [the last"record]," said Takac.
The latest alb1J111 got its name from a Pable
Neruda poem called "The Beggars," as a
way he
described
homeless orphans.
"When we're looking for a title for the
record we sort of look for a word that con-
jures up some images and that seems to be
.
saying an awful lot in a very short amount
of space," he said.
Currently,
Gutterflower
is nearing a mil-
lion in sales.
After finishing their summer tour, which
featured opening acts of
Third Eye Blind
and Vanessa Carlton,
Goo
went on to con-
tinue their tour abroad.
"We're in a bit of a whitlwind. We're on
the 20
th
week of this tour now," said Takac.
"We've been to Europe, we've been to Ja-
pan twice, Australia [and] New Zealand a
couple oftimes
...
we've been all over."
In addition, Takac said that he feels that
Goo
is a different band outside of the U.S.
"It's always a bit of a challenge when we
get out of the U.S.," said Takac. "The crowds
are always gr~t, the people who come to
see us play are true fans ... they know most
of the songs [and] records
as
opposed to
just the hits."

Bassist and singer Robby Takac, vocalist and guitarist John Rzeznlk, and drummer Mike Mallnln of
The Goo Goo Dolls. They wlll
.
be performing tonight, at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center at 8 p.m. The band Is currently promoting Guttflrflowsr.
.
Goo's
last performance abroad was Oct.
19, which only left about a week before their
fall tour began in the U.S.
Takac is excited about the kickoff concert
tonight at the Civic Center.
"It's going
to
be really cool to get back
into our world again: theatres and small are-
nas and civic centers," said Takac. !'That's
the kind of stuff we love
to
do. It's going to
be really nice to get back into
_our
comfort
zone again."
Goo
intends on adding an extra element to
the concerts this fall.
"We're actually going to start running web
cams during a lot of the shows. No audio,
but you will be able to see most of the
shows," he said. "We're going to [hopefully]
have it running by [the Poughkeepsie con-
cert] but not _positively."
The web cam would update every 10-15
seconds.
Goo
has used this idea in past per-
formances in NY and Las Vegas. It will be
located
on
their
website,
www.googoodolls.com. The site also in-
cludes a tour diary updated by the band,
.
primarily
Takac, along with a few pictures
from
each previous performance.
In addition, USA Harvest will be collect-
ing non-perishable food items at the con-
cert tonight.
"They
distribute
them all locally in the area
they are received and it's a completely not-
for-profit organization and if people could
help us by bringing some canned goods that
would be awesome," said Takac.
Since the
Gutterjlower
tour began, they
have raised.almost half a million meals.
•
The band has recently moved to Califor-
nia and Takac
recently
married Miyoko from
Tokyo. Takac, however, has mixed feelings
about California.
"It's a tough place. There's a lot of very
'me-me-me
people' out here and we don't
come from that kind of place. It took us a
little bit of getting used to;' said Takac.
On
the day that they got home, they taped
The Drew Carey Show
in Los Angeles (to
air in Nov.) and the next day taped two inter-
views for VHl (toairinDec.).
Takac described a day in the life of the
band, that begins around
5
or 6 a.m. and
ends around midnight. Throughout the day,
they give interviews for about two hours.
Following that is a sound check, then a "meet
and ~ t " where the band is
introduced
to
various people. Following is the actual
con-
cert. Afterwards a little party, some drinks
and then they call it a night.
So the important part
-
how does
Goo
make their music?
For Takac, bands like
The Ramones
gave
them confidence to become musicians.
"We wouldn't have the confidence ifwe
didn't see
people
\ike us making rock."
When it comes
to
the actual writing,
Rzeznik
and Takac each brainstorm on their own and
then get together.
"[We] get together and start to go through
the piles of ideas we have trying to put some-
thing together that resemble"s a record," said
Takac.
.
According to Takac, writing music is based
on a person's mood.
"At some point you think to yourself,
'Would you like to play this in front of some-
one?' Generally, if you've written something
good, the feeling of 'I wonder what some-
one is going to think' sort
of
gets taken o'ver
by 'Wow, I can't believe I wrote something
that's kinda good,"' said Thkac.
And it's better than good. It's an art form.
"I'm pretty blessed to be able to do this,"
said Takac. "I can't believe it when I wake
up everyday. It blows my mind still."

Hockey team loses two straight to league opponents
Red Foxes winless in last four contests; drop to 2-2-1 in SECHL play
by SCOTT MONTESANO
Staff Writer
Central Connecticut State (CCSU)
and New York University (NYU)
have been amongst the recent
powerhouses in the Super East
Hockey League (SECHL ). Last
weekend, the Red Foxes learned
just how far they still have to go to
get to that level.
Marist dropped a pair of 5-1 de-
cisions to both CCSU and NYU on
Oct. 25-26. The losses bring the
Foxes record to 3-4-1 overall
,
and
2-2-1 in SECHL play.
Both games were strikingly simi-
lar and equally frustrating for the
Foxes who are now winless in four
straight.
Against CCSU, at the Mid-
Hudson Civic Center on Oct. 25,
the Foxes played a solid first pe-
riod and eventually took 1-0 lead
on a Chris Walling goal.
However, the Blue Devils tied the
game in the final minute of the first
period on the power play. Then, in
the second period, two costly de-
fensive breakdowns late in the sec-
ond period resulted in two quick
CCSU goals, including a short-
handed tally.
Marist could never recover.
"We had two mistakes that cost
us dearly," head coach Bob
Simmons said. "(The defensive
breakdowns) surprised me because
we haven't been doing that all sea-
son."
One night later, in Manhattan, an
almost identical script was played
out against NYU.
Once again, Marist played a good
first period and saw it pay off, with
a goal by freshman Ryan Bendl
with only 2.4 seconds left in the
period.
Nevertheless, the Foxes could
not build off of the late period
momentum and were once again
plagued by defensive break-
downs in the second period.
The Violets scored four goals,
including one while short-
handed, and kept most of the
play in the Foxes' zone for the
duration of the period.
As with the CCSU loss, Marist
never recovered in the third pe-
riod.
"We have to go out and play
60 full minutes," commented
sophomore Jordan Plante.
Inconsistent play characterizes
the early portion of the Foxes'
season. Marist has outscored
the opposition in the first and
third periods, but the second period
has presented trouble. The Foxes
have been outscored 13-6 in the sec-
ond period.
In addition, the Foxes have only
scored one goal in each of their last
four games. After scoring 21 goals
in the first four games, Marist has
scored only four since. None of
which have been on the power play,
which was very effective in the open-
ing weekend.
Despite the offensive power out-
age, Simmons does not seem too
concerned.
"We have had our chances, we just
haven't been able to (put the puck
in the net)," Simmons said last week-
end.
.
"We are getting shots, we just can't
put them in the net," commented
·
Plante.

"I really have no idea where we

coaches, make up the northeast

that he feels the team should be

Rugby team makes playoffs in first Division I season
by JENNIFER PASCUAL
Staff Writer
The Marist men's rugby team lost
is playoff game to the Kings Point
US Merchant Marines on October
19, ending the team's first season
in Division I play.
Despite being 0-5 this season the
North Conference #4 seeded
Marist Red Foxes found their way
into the playoffs and faced the first
ranked team in the South Confer-
ence. Marist lost 41-0 to the Mer-
chant Marines, closing out their
season with a 0-6 record.
The Merchant Marines scored all
of their 41 points in the second half,
after wearing down the Marist play-
ers, according to Marist captain
Brian Campe.
"Like most of our other games we
were still in it at half time, however,
conditioning became a factor in the
second half and we lost," said
Campe. "People took things for
granted and things got sloppy."
Marist moved up to Division
I
from Division II this season after
winning the Metro New York Con-
ference Championships last year.
The Red Foxes beat Bowden Col-
lege 77-3 for the championship title
last season.
This season, however, Marist
could not accomplish that same
·
feat, competing in a higher divi-
sion. Despite the 0-6 record, the
team played competitive and lost
close games
fo Vassar College,
SUNY New Paltz, and Fordham
University.
Conditioning was the main fac-
tor in Marist's losses, according
the Marist Rugby Club President,
Matt Braun.
"Basically
it came down to con-
ditioning," said Braun. "We are a
good technical team. We know the
game and how to play it, but we
aren't so good conditioning wise."
As a result, the key to improving
the Red Foxes rugby team next sea-
son will be in the team's condition-
ing program. Since the rugl?y
team
is not a varsity sport they do not
have a set practice schedule or
mandatory gym hours, which has
hurt the
conditioning
of the team
thus far.
"I
hope the team reeva1uates
where they are and tries to get back
to where we were last year," said
Campe.
With the move up to Division I
this season Marist has faced
schools with larger student popu-
lations. This gives these teams the
ability to be more selective with
their players.
"Rebuilding
and taking a step up
to
Division
I is hard because we
are playing larger schools," Braun
said.
This season has been seen as a
rebuilding year for Marist. The Red
Foxes graduated the majority of
their championship team last year.
Campe, along with Braun, Match
Secretary and Vice President Peter
Muzia, and Captain Justin Bard,
were just
a
few of the returning
players on this years team.
"We just wanted to be competi-
tive this season," said Muzia. "We
didn't expect to win another cham-
pionship."
The team who has 35 to 40 play-
ers on it is composed mainly of
freshmen this year, although most
of them do not start.
One other factor leading to
Marist's inexperience is, since they
are a club they do not have a
coach; instead the team Captains
run the
practices.
The team offic-
ers are also in charge of setting up
games, getting busses, fields and
referees.
Although the players are re-
sponsible for the set up of their
season, Marist College has given
the team a lot of
support.
The
College has helped them finan-
cially and even gave them a night
game on the football field, which
was rained out.
"We are just a club and they give
us a lot of support;' said Braun.
This support continues to help
the team stay intact from season
to season.
The Marist rugby team is look-
ing to improve in the spring sea-
son, but wants to be in top condi-
tion when their fall season starts
up again next year, hoping once
again to be a team to be reckoned
with.

Sophomore Courtney Moore's goal late in the first half, proved
to be the only offense the Red Foxes would need, as the Marist
defeated Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) rival Iona
l-0 on Oct. 29th at North Field.
Moore scored on a header off of a free kick ball from junior
Stacy Ryan, in the 43rd minute to give the Foxes a win in their
final home game of the year.
Moore's goal was the Foxes' first in over two weeks and only
the team's 11th goal of the entire season. Opponents have shut-
out Marist 13 times (0-11-2) overall. The goal was Moore's sec-
ond of the season, making her one of the few Foxes' \\jth multiple
tallies this year.
·
With six saves, senior goalkeeper Me
_
lanie Nai earned her fifth
shutout of the year. Nai is now ranked amongst the MAAC lead-
ers in total saves and shutouts.
The game marked the final home match for Nai, as well as eight
other seniors of the Foxes' roster. Along with Nai, Meredith Fabini,
Lissa Johnson, Molley Hanley, Katie Wilt, Jenny Greenbaum,
Jenny Shanks, Kelly Smith and Kelly Naughton all played their
final collegiate home games.
The
win
improved the Foxes' record to
3-l

play. Marist is currently 8th in the MAAC standings.
Marist's win came just a couple days after a scoreless tie against
perennial MAAC power Loyola on Oct. 27th at North Field. Nai
made eight saves over the course of regulation and two overtime
periods.
_Marist wraps up the regular season this weekend with away
games at Niagara and Canisius.
