America's
Most Wanted man on
cam
by JEN HAGGERTY
News Editor
Three years ago voted FBI Man
of the Year and host of the suc-
cessful
The New Americas Most
Wanted: America Fights Back,
John Walsh visited Marist College
Tues. night to talk about his life in
a special program entitled "Living
Life with A Mission."
Walsh never planned to lead the
life he has. "Little did I know that
anyone at any place could be a
crime victim," Walsh said.
On
July 27, 1981, Adam Walsh,
John's son, was abducted outside
a Sears Department store. Adam
was missing for 14 days. The
po-
lice department had never dealt
with a missing child case and made
many mistakes while handling the
case. They were not even sure how
to make a missing child flier. Walsh
said Walsh.
Walsh appeared on
Good Morn-
ing America the day his son was
found. Adam was found decapi-
tated in a canal in Hollywood, Fla.
after his dental records matched
the unidentified body. That
evening the press, who had ig-
nored him for the previous two
weeks, were pleading for inter-
views.
"There on my front lawn was the
media I had begged to cover [the
story]. Now they were all covering
the case of the poor decapitated
boy," Walsh said
.
"I got my first
taste of how brutal the media could
be."
After the death of his son,
Walsh's life turned into a down-
ward spiral. His house foreclosed
and he felt as if he had nothing to
live for.
and his business
colleagues took
initiative and were
the first ever to
design a missing
child poster in the
country. How-
ever, most police
stations did not
even
know
Walsh's son was
missing.
"He needs to be
killed," said
Walsh
ada-
"We're all used to
losing our parents but
we never expect to
bury our children,"
said Walsh.
mantly.
"He is
a
terrorist like bin
Laden.
We need
In fact, Walsh wanted
to bury Adam's re-
mains but the police
wouldn't hand them
over because it was
evidence in a capital
crime. It was a chance
to eliminate these
people."
"Most police
departments don't have a missing
person unit, never mind a missing
juvenile department," said Walsh.
Walsh found out during this 14-
day period that 70 convicted
pedophiles were out on patrol or
on probation within five miles of
his house. No matter how horrify-
.
ing this story unfolded, the press
refused to get involved.
The FBI also would not get in-
volved unless the suspect crossed
state lines or left a ransom note.
This was a policy still in effect from
the Hoover administration.
"[At this time] no one was look-
ing for
him
except me and a couple
of detectives in Hollywood, Fla.,"

and murdered son Adam.
meeting with
Dr. Right,
the local coroner, who convinced
Walsh to take action for others.
Right informed Walsh about the
Missing Children's Bill that was to
pass before Congress. The FBI was
vociferously opposed to it, even
though all the bill would do is put
missing children in a computer sys-
tem.
Walsh attended the hearing in
Congress for the bill, and every-
one in the court walked out. The
bill however, was passed, as The
Missing Children Act of 1982 and
later the Missing Children's Assis-
tance Act of 1984.
The Walshes never received le-
gal closure on the death of their
son. The prime suspect in Adam's
murder, Otis Toole, was never
charged in the Adam Walsh case;
he died in prison while serving a
life sentence for other crimes-tak-
ing the truth to the grave with him.
Walsh would not speak about his
wife or his three children. He ex-
plained that he tries to keep a low
profile because he gets death
threats.
"A lot of people would like to see
me dead," said Walsh.
The story of Adam's death was
dramatized in the 1983 NBC televi-
sion movie,
Adam and a 1986 se-
quel,
Adam: His Song Continues.
Following the airing of these
broadcasts were the photos of
missing children; 65 missing chil-
dren were found as a result. ·
After six months of saying no to
the Fox Network to host
Americas
Most Wanted, Fox informed him of
the case of David James Roberts,
who raped 17 women and was re-
leased on patrol after serving only
four years. During his patrol, he
killed three people in one night, and
a judge later let him loose on a bail
of $10,000. The first night he was
released, he raped and beat another
woman repeatedly and locked her
in the trunk of her car while she
begged him not to harm her baby.
However, Roberts left the baby to
freeze on the side of the road. He
was later sentenced to serve five life
sentences but escaped.
Walsh agreed to host the show
after hearing this story. The show
aired in Feb. 7, 1988 and as a result,

Roberts was arrested, whom ironi-
cally Mayor Koch had just awarded
for running a homeless shelter in

Marist's annual Open House for
Accepted Students welcomed a
total of937 students this past week-
end.
J. Murray, the Director of Admis-
sions, was pleased with the turn-
out for Accepted Students Open
House weekend.
"We're very encouraged by the
attend~ce," said Murray. "We've
had large open houses like this
before, but [ not as large as this] in
previous years."
The Open House included a stu-
dent activities fair in the Mccann
Center and financial aid presenta-
tions in the Dance Studio. Campus
tours, the signature of Open House
Day, left from the Mccann Center
every ten minutes in the morning,
and from the Student Center Ro-
tunda
during the afternoon.
The Marist College Music Pro-
gram also gave a performance. Dr.
Dennis J. Murray, President, also
spoke to the promising Class of
2006.
On
Sat., there were 446 accepted
students on campus. Sun. drew a
slightly larger crowd of 491 stu-
dents.

rwnble, so security was called on
to the scene at about l :05 p.m.
After further investigation it was

Wednesday
A couple of mad scientists in train-
ing caused Donnelly Hall to be evacu-
ated at about 10:50 a.m. Two stu-
dents were working with chemicals
in the chemistry lab, and the reaction
caused the fire alarm to go off.
Fairview Fire Department responded
and reset the aiarm.

Wednesday
A basketball game manifested into
what looked like a wrestling match at
about 10:44 a.m. A group of students
were playing some
"
roundball" in the

in McCann when one stu-
dent accidentally headbutted another
during the action. The victim of the
accidental assault received a cut on
his forehead and was taken to St.

The slow and methodical destruction
of Champagnat Hall continued last
week. The glass door in the breeze-
way was cracked. After inspection,
security believes that the crack was
the result of a swift kick to the door.

There was a mini inferno reported
outside of Sheahan Hall at about 5: 15

Sunday
Vandalism reared its ugly head
yet again
-in
Champagnat. Secu-
rity on duty noticed that the el-
evator controls were ripped from
the wall on the first floor. The
controls are still working but
have to be re-secured to the wall.

Monday
Midrise students apparently
didn't want to be outdone in the
weekly vandalism wars, so they
took out their frustrations on
some light covers. Security on
duty noticed that the lens cover
on the third floor east stairwell
was broken as well as the lens
on the second floor west stair-
well. The first floor was plagued
with an eight-by-ten inch hole
kicked into the wall that appeared
to be the result of a kick.

Monday
Champagnat reigned supreme in
the quest for vandalism su-
premacy last week, though. At
about 11 :25 a.m. security on duty
noticed damage to the fire extin-
guisher plexiglass case. There
was a hole in the casing as well
as holes on the third floor door .
It is believed that the holes were
caused by BBs.

From the desk of the Student Body President, Kevin
C. Hogan
The following is a paid advertisement by the Student Government Association, and does not necessarily represent the views of
The Circle.
Marist College Student Body:
During the Student Body
President's election last year I cam-
paigned to make several changes
to increase the quality of student
life here at Marist College. I prom-
ised to open the doors of the SGA
Office to the student body and to
listen to the student's voice in all
decisions that were to be made.
Throughout my term as President
I have tried my best to fulfill all of
these promises and tackle issues
that I felt were relevant to the stu-
dent body.
During my first few months in of-
fice I appointed an executive board
to assist me throughout the year.
Headed by Executive Vice-Presi-
dent,
Brian McAlpin,
the execu-
tive board carried daily responsi-
bilities to assist me in all campus
wide issues. Each member had a
specific duty and every Tuesday
night we met and reported to one
another our activities for that week.
The Student Senate also became
aquatinted during these first
months in office and elected their
Senate Speaker, 2002 President,
Elizabeth Hammond.
Every
Wednesday the Senate and I met
to discuss topics for that week and
pass any legislation that was up
for approval. At these Senate meet-
ings I reported to the Senate the
activities of the executive
board
and
myself. As the school year came
to a close we began our strategic
planning for the new school year
and summer session in July.
In July, SGA arrived on campus for
a four-day session that included
meetings with Board of Trustees
members and administration, Sen-
ate meetings, Executive Board
meetings, team unity activities,
and
goal setting for the year. At the
end of the summer session our or-
ganization outlined the goals for
the school year and ways to ac-
compli
,
sh these goats. The clubs'
budgets were also approved due
to the diligent work and long hours
ofChiefFinance Officer,
Sabrina
Trotman.
Several weeks passed
after summer session and
Richard
Carlson,
Vice-President of Aca-
demics, and I met with library di-
rectors to discuss library hours.
Richard Carlson
and I expressed
the concerns of the student body
and asked that the library be
opened longer for students to use
during the week. With help from
the library directors, administra-
tors, Board of Trustee members,
and President Murray, the library
opened an additional hour each
day, Monday through Thursday.
As we arrived back to campus for
the beginning of the school year,
SGA was committed to accomplish-
ing the goals set during the previ-
ous school year and summer ses-
sion. A letter written by
Brian
McAlpin
and myself was sent to
the mailroom to ask for an increase
in both the mailbox and service
window hours. Without any hesi-
tation the mailroom increased
hours by a
·
combined 37 hours a
week. The mailroom; along with
the library, was now more acces-
sible for student use and our orga-
nization had accomplished two
major goals set for the year. The
semester was still young and SGA
and College Activities sponsored
the Fall Activities Fair, headed by
Vice-President for Club Affairs,
Jessica Gardner.
A record num-
ber of clubs participated and the
event went extremely smoothly. A
few weeks later freshman elections
came to and Elections Commis-
sioner,
Jeffrey Bodnar,
saw a
record number of candidates and
voters turn out. After the election
concluded,
Katie Buckley
was the
President of the Class of 2005, and
the 2005 class had their first set of
elected officers. Our web-site also
became available for students to
access and Director of Public Re-
lations,
Michelle Slesinski,
con-
stantly updated it throughout the
year. Resident Senator,
Jon
Hackett,
formed the Student Speak
committee, which allowed for stu-
dents to fill out a Students Speak
form in order to have their voice
heard quickly, added
a
new link to
the web-site. Along with this link,
Senator Hackett
also organized a
student summit, where students
could bring any and all issues
straight to our entire organization.
By the end of the administration
more forms had been received and
addressed then ever before by any
SGA organization. Resident Sena..:
tor,
Mary Doyle
reinstated the
Safety and Security Committee.
While chairing this committee she
worked with the administration to
form the first ever escort policy for
students. This piece oflegislation
can be considered the most valu-
able piece ever passed through
SGA, because it secures the safety
of all students traveling across
campus. Another major goal of
SGA was accomplished and the
organization was building momen-
tum into mid semester break.
SGA continued its work to increase
student life and, with the assistance
of Dean DiCaprio and Sodexho
management, a dining hall commit-
tee was established to voice con-
cerns and bring ideas on how the
dining hall and its services can be
improved. With the cooperation
of Sodexho, several new vegetar..:
i
_
an meals were added and sugges-
tions pertaining to hours of opera-
tion, atmosphere, and food prepa-
ration were all raised for possible
changes next year. With the end
of the semester coming to a close,
Vice President for Student Life,
Elizabeth Glenney
worked with her
board to pass out final baskets that
were ordered for students. This
event was extremely successful
and students shared their appre-
ciation for the work
Elizabeth
Glenney
and her board had done.
Student Life committee also
has
the
annual Marist by Moonlight
planned for this semester. Finally,
Elizabeth Glenney
organized a
drive for _school supplies for stu-
dents in Kosovo. This drive has
become extremely successful and
the supplies will be shipped within
the month.
As the beginning of this semester
began, SGA was committed to fi-
nalizing their plans and goals for
the year. Much work was left and
time was running short. Weekly
Executive Board and Senate meet-
ings continued and many pieces
of legislation were brought to the
table. Acting Vice-President for
Club Affairs
Brian McAlpin
worked with SGA advisor and Di-
rector of Students Activities
Mr.
Robert Lynch, to in.crease the cap
on clubs. After several days of
negotiation the Bill to Increase
Club Cap was introduced and
passed unanimously by the Sen-
ate. These marked another major
accomplishment by SGA and
within the next several weeks, the
Anime Society, Accounting Club,
and Fashion Inc. were all approved
and became clubs on campus. The
Animal Rights Ninjas, headed by
Chris Knudtsen,
Resident Senator
and Chair of the Student and Ac-
tivism Committee, was also ap-
proved as a club on campus. There
were several promises from my
campaign left to accomplish, and
SGA, with the help
df
administra-
.
tion, turned these promises into
reality. Resident Senator and Hous-
ing and Residential Life committee
chair
Kim Rossi,
spent several
months researching the guest pass
policy here at Marist College and
policies at other colleges across the
northeast. When all the research
was gathered, she recommended a
revised guest pass policy for
Marist College to implement. Af-
ter several meetings, the policy
was approved and starting this
month, guests will now show a pic-
ture ID at the entry desk to be per-
mitted
to
enter the residence hall.
With the assistance of Student
Affairs, Housing, and Safety and
Security, this policy change will
now increase the safety for all stu-
dents and visitors at Marist. It is
also a more convenient way for
guests to be allowed into resident
halls, and onto campus.
With two weeks left in this admin-
istration SGA along with other stu-
dent organizations on campus held
the 2002 Unity Day. A day set
aside for acceptance and education
on cultures, Unity Day smashed all
attendance records. By far, this
year's event set the standard for
all others to follow. The guidance
and organization of the Unity Day
chairs,
Sarah Dowling, Melissa
Katomski,
and
Brian McAlpin,
Unity Day was not just a day of
fun, but a day of celebration for
diversity at and around Marist
College. Along with this event,
SGA also participated to help raise
money for the American Red
Cross. Director of Public Relations,
Michelle Slesinski,
helped orga-
nize a Bowl-a-Thon. Over 100
Marist students were in attendance
and over $500 was raised for this
cause. Along with this fundraiser,
Michelle Slesinski,
continued to
be a liaison between SGA and all
media outlets, and successfully
planned Billiards Night.
The Student Programming Coun-
cil, a branch of Student Govern-
ment, had a banner year as well.
Vice President of SPC
Sarah
Dowling
and her board put on
countless number of acts, to go
with the countless number of hours
spent organizing the events.
Naughty by Nature and Senator
George Mitchell were the two big
events for the fall semester, and
SPC has recently announced that
several speakers and several
bands will visit Marist this semes-
ter. All events are sure to be enter-
taining and successful, and tick-
ets are available for each event in
college activities.
As I look back over the past year, I
am very fortunate to be able to
have had the experience as your
Student Body President. Currently,
Brian C. McAlpin
is your new Stu-
dent Body President. As you read
this, he has been in office for his
first week and he has already made
great strides to having a success-
ful year. He already has his execu-
tive board in place and a strong
Senate returning. With the assis-
tance of Executive Vice-President,
Elizabeth Glenney,
SGA will con-
tinue to improve student life for the
entire Marist community.
This position
.
was an honor and
privilege for me to hold. I thank
every student at Marist College for
not only this opportunity, but for
the assistance and suggestions
you have given me_ over the past
year. I also want to thank the ex~
ecutive board and Senate for all
their work, because without them,
SGA would not have been as suc-
cessful as we have been this year.
I must also thank the Board of
Trustees, faculty, and administra-
tion for putting the students first
when making decisions. I would
also like to extend a special thanks
to our advisors
Dr.
James Kent,
Dr.
Cocbese Davis, and Mr. Robert
Lynch. Einally, thank you, Presi-
dent Murray and Dean DiCaprio for
your assistance throughout the last
year.
SGA has made great strides to bet-
ter the student life here at Marist
College. Mailroom and library hour
extensions, increasing the club
cap, the implementation of the es-
cort policy, reinstating the com-
muter student council, and the
guest pass policy change are ma-
jor accomplishments that SGA
has
made. I hope I fulfilled your expec-
tations of me as your President,
and SGA fulfilled your expecta-
tions as a student organization. I
thank you all again for this oppor-
tunity and wish you all luck in the
future.
Sincerely,

Walsh grew very

"I'll be profiling terrorists every

Walsh also addressed the current

said Walsh. He also told the audi-

Arabic off cameras that [Arafat]
"hates

"He needs to be killed," said
Walsh adamantly. "He is a terrorist

"It's time to stop being so
politically correct and start worry-
ing about our rights," said Walsh.
Walsh concluded his speech
with "You're my support. You're

It's that time of
year
again when
the wann air begins to brace us
with its presence and of course the
fashion industry thrusts its new-
est and hottest trends for us to
drool over.
Although spring
is
technically
here, the only signs one can offi-
cially note are the shorts, sandals
and tank tops that mannequins are
adorning in store windows.
Even though we are technically
several weeks into spring,
thoughts of jeans and wann fuzzy
sweaters have not exactly left one's
mind; however, it may be a good
idea to know what types of trends
are set for the wann weather once
it comes. This spring promises
some new fashion as well as some
good old classics.
Although men's fashion never
really drastically changes from year
to year, the regular staple items are
always improving. This spring men
can find numerous styles of cargo
pants and shorts, including those
that are a two in one deal (where
the lower legs of the pants can be
unzipped into shorts).
Men can choose from a variety of
colors such as navy, khaki, olive,
tan, and black. As far as shirts go
this spring men are looking at the
ever-popular Rugby shirt which
made a debut last year. The shirts
can be found in long sleeve and
short sleeve and of course in an
assortment of colors. Depending
on stores, the shirts can range from
plain and simple to a little more
elaborate, including the store logo
and numbers on the
·
backside.
Other
styles
that men may fmd
popular for the spring include short
sleeve polo shirts and button down
patterned shirts. Although the line
of men's wear is never overwhelm-
ing it does offer a variety of color.
Many stores such as Structure and
American Eagle offer the traditional
colors, while certain stores such as
H&M offer these shirts in shades
such as pink and purple which may
or may not be his "cup of tea"; nev-
ertheless the wide assortment of
color does allow any guy to mix and
match in his wardrobe.

ing this season is the Hawaiian
print. Stores such as American
Eagle offer a variety of Hawaiian
style shirts for both guys and girk
Women can find Hawaiian print
short-shorts and skirts in stores
such as Express.
This spring women definitely
have a wide assortment to choose·
from and to work with in their ward-
robe. There are a lot of new trends
being set this
spring
for women that
may or may not
stick
around. One
new fashion trend that can be
found in numerous stores such as
Aeropostale and Old Navy is the
terry cloth style shirts. Ranging
from tank tops to shorts this new
hot material comes in all shades of
the rainbow.
·It's
a very comfort-
able material that makes any article
of clothing feel like your cozy bath-
robe.
The old-fashioned peasant top
has made a huge comeback this
season and can be found in stores
such as New York and Co., Express,
and Mandees. The tops
usually
come in neutral colors
but
do vary
in style a bit. Many women may
not take to the style because of the
awkward fit but for those women
who
can
wear
it,
it
definite)
ives
off a feeling of country living. The
shirt is very versatile and can be
worn with pants, skirts, and shorts.
Finally women should look for
some nice pieces of turquoise
jew-
elry. This new and hot fashion
trend is seen in magazines all over.
The jewelry is very vibrant and de-
pending on where you buy it very
expensive; however save your
money and look in thrift stores and
at Flea Markets. The jewelry can
make any outfit a success and adds
~
lot of color to very neutral cloth-
ing. For great buys look at
Mandees, where this new hot jew-
elry comes in necklaces, earrings,
rings, and bracelets.
Whatever you decide to wear this
spring, make sure its comfortable
and flattering. Choose your spring
wardrobe wisely, making sure to in-
clude plenty of staple items like
solid colored tank tops and tees.
Even though the weather is still
a little chilly, the mall isn't, so go
and shop now and you'll be ready
for the sunsbine when it finally de-
cides to come.

IMF likes the Sopranos too
by
CONN HALLINAN
San Francisco Examiner
Here's a riddle: What is the dif-
ference between Tony Soprano
and the International Monetary
Fund? Answer: Nothing, except
that Tony and his Mafia pals, who
extort and impoverish a handful of
people in New Jersey, are a televi-
sion creation. The
IMF,
on the other
hand, does this to hundreds of mil-
lions in the real world.
The organization's latest victim
is Argentina, where Latin
America's third largest economy
has been derailed by IMF policies
that have devastated populations
and economies from Moscow to
Jakarta while stuffing the coffers
of financial organizations and
banks. And those policies were
made right here in the USA.
The prevai
l
ing myth about the
IMF
is that it is an "international" body.
Indeed, it has lots of members, but
the United States and its allies make
all the decisions. The Netherlands,
for
-
instance, has more voting
power than China and India. "In-
ternational" is a handy fiction that
allows the organization to avoid
congressional oversight.
And what the
IMF
does is to make
an offer you can't refuse.
-
When Argentina hit an economic
rough patch back in the early '90s,
President Bush (senior) and the
fund offered a loan. But the money
was contingent on Argentina peg-
ging its peso to the dollar, privatiz-
ing everything from banking to
utilities, removing all tariffs and al-
lowing the free flow of capital.
Argentina took the bait, and for-
eign capital surged in. For some-
the wealthy -
the economy took
off. But tying the peso to the dol-
lar made Argentina's exports pro-
hibitively expensive, while the
flood of cheap foreign imports
blitzed the country's industrial
base. Factories closed, unemploy-
ment spread and the debt exploded
..
The free flow of capital allowed
foreign companies to bleed profits
overseas and opened the gates for
"vulture funds," which bought up
the debt to make a ki
ll
ing on higher
interest rates. The Toronto Trust
Argentina market fund made a
79.25 percent return on debts it
purchased -
30 times what it
would have made holding U.S.
Treasury bonds. Privatization
drove up prices. A French com-
pany purchased the country's wa-
ter system and hiked rates by 400
percent.
The Mafia works with b
l
ackjacks
and sawed-off shotguns. The
IMF
does its mayhem with opaque-
soun ding documents, like the
''Technical Memorandum ofUnder-
standing" that Argentina signed in
2000. The agreement required Ar-
gentina to cut its budget, slice civil
services salaries by 15 percent and
cut pensions 13 percent.
Not to worry, the
IMF
said. Do what
we say, and production will jump
3. 7 percent. Instead, it fell 2. l per-
cent (until it dropped off the charts-
four months ago). "Hey, but we're
here for you guys," said the IMF.
'We've got a $26 billion loan to
help you out." Not exactly. You see,
the Argentinians can only get the
loan if they pay off their debts in
dollars. But because of the melt-
down, they have to pay a 16 per-
cent premium to get the dollars. A
year's payment on their $132 bil-
lion foreign debt, plus the added
premium, comes to $27 billion. No
Argentinian will even get a whiff
of that IMF "loan." It will go
straight into the vaults of Citibank
in New York and Fleet Bank in Bos-
ton.
The IMF also insists that Argen-
tina balance its budget by the end
of 2002, which would require the
government to cut $7 billion from
the budget and raise taxes $4 bil-
lion -the equivalent of the United
States implementing spending cuts
and tax increases of$400 billion in
a single year, or $2,500 per family.
No one should be surprised by any
of this. The IMF's track record is
one of unalloyed disaster. It was
the IMF that help bankrupt Russia
and turned the 1997 Asian mon-
etary panic into a full-fledged eco-
nomic disaster. When the Asian
bank
crisis started, the IMF arrived
with loans, but only if everyone
privatized and opened their mar-
kets. The result was a major melt-
down in every Asian economy ex-
cept Japan and Taiwan. In Indone-
sia 100 million people -
half the
population - now live on less than
$1 a
day.
When Argentinians asked the
Bush administration for aid, you
would think they'd have gotten it.
After all, Argentina was one of the
few Latin American countries to
actively support the 1991 Gulf War,
is a strong supporter ofNATO, and
is sending peacekeepers to Af-
ghanistan at a cost of $20 million.
But like Tony Soprano and the
goodfellas, the administration
doesn't let friendship and alliances
get in the way of business.
The Bush administration bas
washed its hands of any responsi-
bility, in spite of the fact that
Washington's fingerprints are all
over the crisis.
"It
was very clearly
the Department of the Treasury
that pushed Argentina over the
edge and allowed it to collapse,"
Walter Molano ofBCP Securities
argues, "so I think the issue of ac-
countability has to come up." In-
deed it should.
The White House says it wants to
stop terrorism.
It
can start by rein-
ing in an organization that has ter-
rorized populations across the
globe.

GOOD FRIENDS can not only
dis-
agree from time to time, but are ac-
tually better friends for their will-
ingness to offer frank advice, as
President Bush demonstrated with
his recent speech on the Israeli-
Palestinian crisis. When the world
was simpler and based on a bipo-
lar political system, friendship was
also simpler. Friends oflsrael were
those who Wlderstood that Jews,
too, deserved to have a state of
their own after the Holocaust and
the terrible sufferings they had
endured. These friends were proud
that Israel was a democratic state
and understood its need to defend
itself against Arab states that re-
fused to recognize it. They largely
attributed the Palestinian refugee
problem that was created in 1948
to a Palestinian leadership that en-
couraged the Arabs to leave their
homes only to return later together
with the victorious Arab armies that
would destroy the new State ofls-
rael.

viewed Israel as a foreign body
existing within the Middle East.
They did not Wlderstand why the
Palestinians had to pay the price
of the European Jews' Holocaust
and viewed Zionist immigration as
part of a colonialist process driv-
ing another people into oppres-
sion. They viewed the Palestinian
refugee problem as resulting exclu-
sively from their eviction by the
Israelis and from brutalities com-
mitted against the refugees in some
villages.
The world has changed. It is now a
multipolar world dominated by one
superpower - the United States.
The process that was triggered by
the Israeli-Egyptian agreement of
1978 and continued with the
Madrid Conference of 1991, the
Oslo accords of 1993, and the Is-
raeli-Jordanian
peace agreement of
1994 has generated a completely
new situation.
Friendship with the Arab side is
compatible with friendship with
Israel and vice versa. True friend-
ship with Israel and true friendship
with the Arab side means true sup-
port for peace, which can save both
Israel and the Arabs from contin-
ued violence and even more vic-
t
i
m
s
Rob Malley, an adviser to former
President Clinton, recently noted
that Clinton was Israel's greatest
friend and the Palestinians' great-
est friend. He was right. President
Carter, too, was a great friend of
Israel and Egypt, while President
George H. W. Bush was equally a
friend of Israel and of the Arab
states.
A friend who tells Israel, you are
right in all respects, keep on fight-
ing, you have no real partner for
negotiation, and you are doomed
to live by the sword, is no real
friend. This is the worst message
that Israel could receive. The hope
oflsrael is to live a normal and safe
life not as a foreign body sur-
roW1ded by enemies who wish its
destruction but as an integral part
of the Middle East. Anyone who
can help us achieve this goal is our
true friend.
Palestinian terror is indeed cruel
and horrible. Israel's desire to re-
spond to it is understandable.
However, the war that the Sharon
government has embarked upon
cannot succeed in subduing the
terror. Terror begins in minds and
hearts, and it can be uprooted only
by Israeli-Palestinian cooperation,
not by force.
The quietest periods in recent
years have been during close co-
operation between the Israeli and
Palestinian security establish-
ments to the benefit of both sides.
Destroying the Palestinian
Authority's infrastructure is a ter-
rible error because, although it is
tainted by terror, it contains within
it the potential of renewed coop-
eration for which there is no better
alternative.
The war against the Palestinians is
one that will increase the hatred
and desire for revenge.
It
will
weaken moderate Arab regimes
and undermine existing agree-
ments between Israel and the states
that made peace with it. The war
will create a new focus of danger
in the world.
True support of Israel does not
mean support for continuing a pur-
poseless war but rather support for
its quick termination. The objec-
tives of Israel's true friends are:
quieting things down, rehabilitat-
ing the Palestinian Authority, mark-
ing a distinction between those
whose purpose is terrorism and the
pragmatic groups that aligned
themselves with terrorism as part
of this terrible escalation but who
will be prepared to disavow it, a
cease-fire agreement that the Pal-
estinian Authority is capable of
implementing, and a speedy return
to the negotiating table toward a
pennanent status agreement.
The hope is that President Bush's
speech is a first step in this direc-
tion. Time is running out, and real
friendship is needed more than
ever.

tice minister.

April 11, 12 - SC 349, Peking Opera Blues (China, 1986, Dir. Hark Tsui)
The movie is set in chaotic 1920s China, when warlords fought each
other for power while Sun Yat-Sen's W1dergroW1d movement tried to
establish a democratic republic. The movie tells the story of three yoW1g
women and two yoW1g men who are thrown tpgether. One young woman
grabs a box of jewels during the looting when one warlord takes Peking.
A deserting soldier joins her, but the jewels end up at the Peking Opera.
They rneet the daughter of the head of the troupe, who dreams of being
an actress (but men play female roles in the opera). Soon, the daughter
of the currently ruling warlord and a male agent of the democratic under-
groWld are involved.

Dance club performance welcome springtime
by
DAVID SURDOVEL
Staff Writer
On
Saturday, April 6, 2002, the
Marist College Dance Club pre-
sented their Spring Exhibition for
two sold out shows in the Nelly
Golletti Theatre.
The two shows each featured
twenty-eight acts, with more
than one hundred men and
women dancers from all years of
college experience. More than
twenty different choreographers
showcased dances to the musi.c
of Michael Jackson, Britney
Spears and Limp Bizkit. In addi-
tion, the HuMatists kept the
crowd laughing between acts
with their silly slap-stick humor.
The highlight of the show was
the fourth act, which featured
Jeanette Fortune and Curtis
Parris, dancing to Michael and
Janet Jackson's "Scream". Their.
high~paced and action-oriented
flawless dance moves got the
crowd into their act early. Their
dance was not
·
only well-re-
hearsed, but also had the energy
and essence of what true dance
is all about. Their moves per-
fectly matched those from the
music video, leaving the crowd
thrilled about their performance
and enthusiastic about the rest
of the show.
The majority of the music for
the dance acts was contempo-
rary pop, rap, or alternative, but
this show was not solely di-
rected that way.
Rosario
Valezquez and Geysa Aristy
kept culture in the night by cho-
reographing and starring in three
traditional dances, "Ojos Asi",
"La Negra Tiene Tumbao", and
"Los Olivos". These served as
intellectual and spiritual dances,
as well as an interesting break
from the daily pop-centric mu-
sic and dancing seen on televi-
sion.
Also different from the tradi-
tional dance were several se-
quences of.tap and break-danc-
ing. Among these was an im-
pressive solo tap performance
by Julie Dunn to US3 's "Cantaloop" and
the Marist Break Dance Crew, whose per-
formance was choreographed by Dan
Hernandez, Jow Lansang, and Dan
Kushner.
Most of the show, however, was solely
based on contemporary dancing and mu-
sic. Among the highlights from these vari-
ous performances were "Your Every
Move," choreographed by Lauren
Toscano, "American Woman/Mission
Impossible," choreographed by Caniel
McDonald, "Dangerous," choreographed
-
by Yalixa Garcia, and "Holla Back," cho-
reographed by Dorothy Tee.
In addition to these notable perfor-
mances, there were other great perfor-
mances in the boy/girl band genre in "Tell
Me, Tell Me Baby," choreographed by
Katie Safrey and Angela Potorski, and
"Overprotected," What It's Like ... ," and
"1999 VMA Performance" all choreo-
graphed and starred in by Dance Club
President and astonishing Britney Spears
look-a-like Jessica Rose Casarella. Jes-
sica, like many other dance club members,
· appeared and danced in many different
acts throughout the night.
Among those dancers, one of the most
remarkable to those in the audi-
ence was the aforementioned
talent ofJeanette Fortune. Danc-
ing in ten of the twenty-eight
acts, as well as choreographing
three, the senior's ability was
showcased for all of those in at-.
tendance, both on stage and off.
As junior and fellow Marist
Dance Club member Joanna
Gradzki- put
it,
"If
I had one-
fourth of her dancing ability, I
would be thrilled. She's amaz-
ing." A special congratulations
and job well done goes out to
Jeanette and the rest of the
graduating seniors of the Marist
Dance Club: GeysaAristy, Yalixa
Garcia, Shannon Lansang, Katie
Romeo, Valerie Page, Tenille
Clyburn, Melissa Kmiec, Caneil
McDonald, Mariel Sosa, Jessica
Lansang, Kerri Mitchell and
Kaitlin

Now here are my picks for the
most outstanding performances:

Oscar night: Worth watching?
UPCOMING
C,ONCl:,RTS
by
CHRISTINA DIAS
Staff Writer
Just in case you passed out on
the couch before 74th Academy
Awards had come to a close,
there's no need to worry. You
probably weren.'t the only one
dozing off by what had seemed
like the 12th tribute montage as
Oscar Night 2002 laste~ over four
hours.
This years Academy Awards,
hosted oy the occasionally funny
Whoopi Goldberg, took place
where the magic happens, Holly-
wood. The newly built Kodak
Theater was the setting for this
famous event, although it was
notably smaller in capacity than
past venues.
On
Sunday .afternoon celebri-
ties gracefully paraded down the
red carpet, said "who they were
wearing," dodged touchy ques-
tions and put up with Joan
River's seemingly
drunken
antics.
The weather was clear, fans were
screaming; it was a typical atypi~
cal scene.
But not only was the night out
of the ordinary by our every-day
,
standards, it was also a night of
firsts in Oscar history. Halle Berry
became the first African-Ameri-
can to ever win Best Actress,
winning for her role as a death-
row widow in the less publicized,
but very much anticipated
Monster
:S-
Ball. Denzel Washing-
ton, meanwhile, became the sec-
ond black man to
win
Best Actor,
for his role as a corrupt police of-
ficer in the movie
Training Day.
This coincidentally, but appropri-
ately came on a night when the
Academy handed an honorary
Oscar to groundbreaking Afri-
can-American actor Sidney
Poitier
While 48.1 million Viewers
watched as the night began with
Tom Cruise at center stage.
Speaking awkwardly with his
new set of almost undetectable
viewer ratings in history. Sacramento Bee
critic Rick Kushman, writes "It was the
first time both best-acting Oscars went to
African Americru\S.,.y~t viewers had to
fight hours and hours of boredom to care."
braces, the star opened th . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~
event with a speech about wh
America loves, and needs mov
ies.
USA Today's Robert Bianc
wrote that he delivered "one o
the most hilariously pretentiou
speeches in Oscar history."
Hostess of the night was th
comic Whoopi Goldberg, wh
was lowered into the theater i
a black-feathered frock, a I
Moulin Rouge. Her monologue
consisted mainly of cheap jab
at target celebrities like Hug
Grant and Anna Nicole Smi
However, she graciously pai
tribute to those heroes of th
New York City Police and Fir
Department as she ended th
show and left the stage. Too ba
no one was conscious enoug
to view it.
Ron Howard's
A
Beautifu
Mind
made out with a 4 awards
namely, Best director, Best Sup
porting Actress, Best Adapte
Screenplay and ·finally, Best Pie
ture. The movie, based o
schizophrenic mathematicia
John Nash, starred Aussi
Russell Crowe and the· radian
Jennifer Connelly. The real lifi
Nash was present in the audi
ence, as he was thanked repeat
edly by most of the movie's
win
ners.

The latest and greates moVIe
SPC Concert Arena
by
PAUL LUKASON
Staff Writer
This has been a busy time for
movie premieres. Many -have
been shown, but not all deserve
the same feedback
.
Read the
most up-to-date reviews, as to my
reactions for these films.
Resident Evil -
I think
Resident
Evil
is rated R for loudness and
nothing else. This movie was so
loud and obnoxious in the the-
ater it actually made my ears
hurts.
Resident Evil
is based
upon the video game of the same
name. As everyone knows, the
translation of video games to the
big screen does not work too well.
We have all witnessed the trav-
esty that was
Mortal Kombat,
and
Tomb Radier.
They were
god-awful
:
This movie however
is somewhat entertaining. The
story is sampled from the game
but not followed too strictly. Paul
Anderson of Even Horizon fame
directs this. He does a descent
job of giving us something en-
tertaining, but the audience is so
well prepared for every scare that
things were just not scary. The
majority of things that happen are
too predictable, but enjoyable to
watch. This is Anderson's best
work to date, but far from being
called a gem.
Grade:C+
Blade II -
Fans of the original
will probably like, if not love, this
sequel. Guillermo del Toro was
brought on to direct, and apparently
he feels that more is better. In this
situation he is definitely right. More-
frightening horror, more gore, more
action, more special effects, and a
bigger worse
Blade
allow for one of
the few instances where a sequel is
better than the original. Essentially
Blade
Ilhas typical but entertaining
plot where
Blades
original enemies
are seeking help from him to destroy
a new super-vampire race
.
Snipes
seems as though he enjoyed making
this film more than the first as he
seems more relaxed and more fitting
for the role. Del Toro seems to be a
fan of the comic book and of WWF
wrestling which helps make the film
that much more entertaining. An
atomic elbow along with a stall
suplex is thrown into the movie to
make the audience cbuckle. This is
definitely an action/horror movie that
is entertainment at its best.
Grade:B+
E.T.
20th Anniversary Edition -
This Spielberg classic is certainly a
movie that has stood the test of time.
It
is a
·
personal childhood favorite
that gets only better with each view-
ing. This new re-release version adds
a few extra minutes of footage along
with
ET
being totally redone with
C.G.I. While quite complimentary at
times, I feel as though it is almost
too fake at other points. The new
scenes are cute, but mainly just use-
less filler. I can certainly under-
stand why they were cut from the
original version. The shared con-
nection between Elliot and ET is
unmatched by any other movie.
One can't help falling in love with
ET and his true heart-felt relation-
ship with Elliot. They share such
an intimate connection with one
another that one can only wish
that he/she could share it too.
John William's score is also so fit-
ting and so perfect that the movie
does not have the same impact
without it.
If
you haven't wit-
nessed ET's greatness in the the-
ater go see it for its grand effect
on the big screen. Otherwise stick
to the 1982 version, as it provides
a more genuinely wholesome ex-
perience.
Grade:A
Panic Room - Panic Room
is the
"critically acclaimed" follow-up to
David Fincher's
Fight Club.
Toe
asinine David Koepp writes the
story and screenplay. He com-
pletely butchered
The Lost World,
a mistake I will never forgive him
for. While
Panic Room
provides
wonderfully unique opening cred-
its, those credits are the highlight
of the movie.
Panic Room
can-
not successfully create tension
for the audience. I never once felt
fear for the ''victims" of the movie.
The plot is a mother and daughter
locking themselves in an impen-
etrable room, so three assailants

cannot harm them. Jodie Foster
plays the mother, while Jared
Leto, Forest Whitaker, and a
masked Dwight Yoakam play the
three villains. These burglars try
various methods to get into the
room
with
minimal
success, yawn.
After an hour of trying to get into
the room, they finally do, sur-
prise, swprise. Yoakam is also
made of steel, as the severing of
several fingers, a full-blown
smash to the face with a sledge-
hammer and falling three stories
is not enough to stop
him.
Holly-
wood then takes over as we then
see typical "hollywoodesque" bad
guy throw it all away to save the
day. The typical Hollywood end-
ing left
an empty
feeling in my stom-
ach, as I left the theater feeling quite
unfulfilled. Fincher's track record
has been excellent so far with
Alien
3, Seven,
and
Fight Club.
Hope-
fully
Panic Room
will be a minor
bump in the road that won't hold
Fincher back on future projects.
Grade:C-
Paul Brubaker and Jeff Berner rock the PAR
by
CHRISTINA DIAS
Staff Writer
Musician, Paul Brubaker graced
the P.A.R. stage April 4th with
opening guest and Marist stu-
dent, Jeff Berner. Bemer played
2 original songs and a U2 cover
with his usual confident, smooth
voice. He attracted a moderate
crowd, some 6f which remained
for the entire show, but most did
not.
This was Brubaker's second
visit to Marist. This time, how-
ever, he came with news of an
upcoming CD entitled ... And the
Pursuit of Happiness, set to re-
lease on April 18th at Cutting
Room in the city.
He described the CD as taking
the listener on an emotional jour-
ney from gloomy to joyful
.
It
opens with the song "Miserable
Princess" with this memorable
lyric" ... do you ever dream of be-
ing taken by someone who will
never give you back?" The CD
concludes with "Spacewalking".
Staying true to his past career
as a high school history teacher,
the song describes the over-
whelming exhilaration experi-
enced by the first American as-
tronaut released into space. It's
the use of innovative song top-
ics that makes Brubaker's music
so captivating.
He also played "Counting the
Days" based on a series of let-
ters exchanged between a college
student and a newly drafted 18-year-
o ld during the Vietnam War.
Brubaker said he's striving to write a

ably catchy.
Brubaker was introduced into
the music world when he sang
backup for Natalie Merchant dur-
ing a concert at Fordham Univer-
sity when he was a student there.
He has been performing profes-
sionally for about a year and a half
and says he'd ''rather be out play-
ing anything than sitting at home
and not". That enthusiasm for
music will serve well as he en-
deavors to promote his new al-
bum.
Undaunted by the sparse
crowd, Brubaker's charming per-
sonality enhanced his stage pres-
ence. Anecdotal stories were
sprinkled throughout the perfor-
mance, including a few about his
high school experiences.
The song "The Conveyor Belt"
comments on the pursuit of con-
formity that can appear to be the
aim of high school education.
Brubaker's music has been com-
pared to Ben Folds but I also
found his slightly nasal voice
comparable to Semisonic.

Yankees and Cardinals
are the
favorites
this season
Somewhere in between the high
stakes drama and downright un-
bearable intensity that was the
200
I
World Series, and the high
stakes trauma and downright un-
bearable greed that will be the in-
evitable collective bargaining cri-
sis this coming winter, the 2002
baseball season has begun taking'
shape.
·
Die hard baseball fans should
enjoy every last picture-perfect
curve ball and savor every last he-
roic game-tying homerun this sea-
son, because with
escalating
sala-
ries, owners crying poverty, the
YES network, contraction, Donald
Fehr and Scott Boras, the game is
right in line for a long and perhaps
crippling work stoppage that may
forever change the face of the our
nation's national pastime.
On
the bright side, however, it
appears as though Major League
Baseball's labor Armageddon will
be kind enough to wait until after
the 2002 season, leaving us, for the
time being, with nothing to do but
sit back and enjoy the greatest
game the world has to offer. Here
is a little bit of what to expect in
2002.
National League
The most complete team appears
to be the St. Louis Cardinals, armed
with Matt Morris and Darryl Kile
at the top of Tony LaRussa's start-
ing rotation, Jason Isringhausen at
the back end of a deep bullpen and
young sluggers J.D. Drew and
Albert Pujols anchoring a danger-
ous lineup. Morris, Drew and
Pujols all figure to only get better,
and if Jim Edmonds stays healthy
and Tino Martinez does what he
has been doing all along, the Car-
dinals should run away with the
N
.L.
Central.
Out West, the San Francisco Gi-
ants will prevail, despite the fact
that Randy Johnson and Curt
Schilling still pitch for the Dia-
mondbacks. Their lineup includes
underrated stars like shortstop
Rich Aurilia and second baseman
J effKent, notto mention the great-
est player of his generation and
maybe beyond, Barry.Bonds. Ari-
zona has the two big
guns,
but both
are up in their late thirties and
threw an incredible amount of in-
nings last season. Toerr lineup is
suspect, and their bullpen and over-
all pitching depth is lacking. Plus,
any injury to Johnson or Schilling,
and that's the end of that.
·
In the East, the M~ts are more
equipped to handle the Braves
than ever before. Roberto Alomar
is as good as anyone in the game,
Mike Piazza is Mike
Piazza,
and if
Mo Vaughn and Edgardo Alfonso
stay away from major injuries and
produce like they can,
_the
sky is
the limit for the Mets offense. Their
starting staff is suspect but has the
potential to do great things, par-
ticularly ifJeffD'amico and Pedro
Astacio pitch like they did in their
season debuts. With the addition
of Scott Strickland, the Mets have
a deep, hard-throwing bullpen that
will only get better when John
Franco returns.
- - - - - - - - - - - byScottDesiere
All that said, Atlanta,fa still the
team to beat in the
~
and with
Rafael Furcal healthy and Gary
Sheffield now taking his vicious
hacks for the Braves, there is a
good possibility that nobody will
beat them. Look foithe Mets and
Braves to go down to the, wire in a
tight battle, with the winner of the
division being, yes again, the
Braves.
Expect the Mets, however, to
have enough to reel in yet another
wild card birth. Albert Pujols will
surprise Barry Bonds
·and
win the
NL MVP award, with
Curt
Schilling
taking home the CY Young, should
he stay healthy.
American League
Hudson, Barry Zito. and
Mark
Mulder that will pitch the Oakland
A's to a division title. Miguel
Tejada is the most uridet'tated
shortstop in the game,
.and
roolcie
first baseman Carlos Pena may
make fans quickly forget abotltla-
son Giambi.
The Seattle Mariners can still
pitch, their bullpen is still nasty,
lchiro can still run and Edgar
Martinez will always be able to hit.
Outside of the Red Sox,, who will
need a twenty-plus win season
from Pedro Martinez to compete,
the Mariners should not have too
much in the way of competition for
the Wild Card.
Camj>us
Sporting
Events and
Contests

The Yankees are in a class all by
themselves in the East. Pitching
wins in baseball, and the Yanks
starting staff is better than any in
the game, better than any in recent
memory. Mariano Rivera will close
just about every game he gets into,
and believe me, all the boos in the
world could not keep Jason Giambi
from hitting. The man will eventu-
ally catch fire and drive in no less
than 120 runs.
In the Central, the new-look Indi-
ans will
win
'
the weakest division
in baseball, thanks to a rejuvenated
Brady Anderson, a talented Matt
Lawton, and a powerful 1-2 punch
at the top of the rotation in Bartolo
Colon and C.C. Sabathia. The
White Sox and the Twins will com-
pete, but Jim Thome still has a lot
of thunder left in his bat, and Cleve-
land will find themselves right back
in the postseason.
With Jchiro's number bound to
fali at least slightly, and with A-
Rod's pitching starved team bound
to keep losing, this year represents
Derek Jeter's best chance to win
an MVP award. The voters just
might give it to him. If they don't,
it might be because they will al-
ready have given the CY Ymmg
award to teammate Mike Mussina,
who with improved run support is
a lock to win 20-plus games.
World Series
If not for two starting pitchers in
the midst of two of the greatest
seasons in pitching history, the
Yankees would have won their
fourth straight World Series last
season. Even with Schilling and
Johnson mowing them down, they
were still two outs away last year.
Nothing will stop them this year,
not even Oakland's staff of aces or
the stacked St.
_

whom they will dispose of in the
World Series, in five·games or less.

in
6-1 victory
by
PAUL SEACH
Staff Writer
The sun shined brightly on the
tennis courts this passed Sunday
as a chilly wind could not stop the
Red Foxes from cruising past
Rhode Island 6-1.
.
A respectable crowd of fans
turned out for the event, a good
sign as the tennis team gains mo-
mentum and a strong fan base
heading into the season's home
stretch.
The day started off with the
doubles matches as Marist quickly
put Rhode Island away, winning all
three doubles. Pat Hofer and Mar-
tin Aldorssorl played in the first
court; a doubles team that is rela-
tively new, but is capable
·
of com-
peting with some number one
teams, according to Marist head
coach Tim Smith.
Smith has been mixing up the
doubles teams and the results have
been
good,
according
to
Aldorsson.
"This is a new doubles team; we
are experimenting with different
pairs (finding out how different
combinations work)," says
Aldorsson. "Overall it worked out
really
well."
Early on, Hofer raced up to the
net to smack a softly hit ball. As he
went to hit it, it took a bad back-
spin causing Hofer to hit the ball
into the net. He quickly laughed it
off, and that was the type of match

ning 8-4 over Bill Moran and

Rawson leads softball teain in weekend split against Rider
by
SCOTT
MONTESANO
Staff Writer
Nicole Rawson had the type of
day that all freshman collegiate
athletes dream of.
The freshman pitcher used some
seventh inning dramatics to give
Marist a 4-3 win at Rider, in the first
game of a Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference (MAAC) season-open-
ing doubleheader.
Trailing 3-1 with two outs and the
bases loaded in the top of the sev-
enth, Rawson hit a three-run
double to centerfield to give the
Foxes a4-3 lead.
Then in the bottom of the sev-
enth, Rawson would work out of
trouble to secure the victory.
With one out, Rider received con-
secutive singles from Brandey
Weed and Heather Boyle. After a
sacrifice fly moved both runners
into scoring position, Rawson
would get Maddy Boulden to foul
out to first basemen Amy Angus
to end the game.
Rawson finished the game 2-4 at
the plate, while allowing three
earned TWls on 11 hits in seven in-
nings on the mound.
The victory improved Rawson's
personal record to 3-3.
Rider had taken a 3-0 lead in the
second inning. Marist grabbed a
Tlll1
in the fourth before picking up
three more TWlS in the seventh.
Marist freshman, Allison Bartley
was 3-4 at the plate and scored a
TWl. Rider was led by Boyle who
had three hits and an RBI.
In
game two, Rider scored three
unearned TWlS in the fourth inning
to break a scoreless tie and would
hold on for a 3-1
win
and a split of
the doubleheader.
Freshman pitcher Danielle Blake
suffered t:.ie tough-luck loss for
Marist.
Second basemen Bryanne
Thitchener and catcher Bobbi Jo
Gonnello each committed errors in
the faithful fourth inning.
Marist's only
Tlll1
in the game
was also unearned.
With two outs in the fifth
inning,
Amy Angus was able to score
af-
ter the centerfielder could not
handle a base hit from Kathleen
McEvily.
With the doubleheader split, the
Foxes are 1-1 in MAAC play.
Marist's overall record stands at
5-14-1.
Through the first 19 games of the
season, Marist is hitting .223 as a
team. Meanwhile opponents are
hitting a blistering .321 against the
Marist
pitching
staff.
Junior Bobbi Jo Gonnella is the
only starter who has a batting av-
erage over .300. She is currently
hitting
.315 with seven
doubles.
Nicole Rawson has a team-leading
14RBis.
The pitching staff has been a
trouble spot for Marist. A mostly
inexperienced pitching staff
struggled through the non-confer-
ence portion of the schedule. The
pitching staffhas a combined 4.14
ERA.
Junior Nicole Fox -the only re-
turning pitcher- is 1-6 with a team
high 5.03 ERA.
Meanwhile, Rawson has shown
promise at the start of her colle-
giate career. Appearing in eight
games and
.
staring five she has a 3-
3 record with a 3.68 ERA. More
impressively she has a 30-3
strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Blake leads the team in ERA at
3.55. However, her 1-5 record does
not reflect that.
Marist plays their first MAAC
home doubleheader on April 13
against perennial league favorite St.
Peter's at 1 :0Opm.
Marist also hosts Manhattan in
a doubleheader on April 14 at
12:00.

MIKE BENISCHEK
Staff Writer
For the second straight game the
Marist men.'s lacrosse team came
up short when the final buzzer
sounded.
Following a heart breaking 9-7
loss last week to Stony Brook, the
Red Foxes traveled into Riverdale,
New York on Saturday and lost to
conference rival Manhattan 17-4.
Manhattan's tough defense cre-
ated
problems
for Marist from the
onset of the contest, holding the
Foxes scoreless until 9:15 in the
second quarter when sophomore
Josh Ben-Eliyahu scored off of a
Pat Van Home assist. The goal
broke up a streak of five unan-
swered goals scored by Manhat-
tan,
including the only three goals
to be scored in the first quarter.
The Foxes would score again in
the period on a goal by sophompre
Jay Nahama at the 7:41 mark but
ended the
half
behind by six, 8-2.
The second half opened similarly
to the first, with the Jaspers TWl-
ning off the first three goals of the
stanza, including two by Junior
Michael Kelly who finished the
match with three goals. With 3:35
to go in the quarter senior captain
Chris LaRose scored Marist's first
goal of the half off of a Nahama
assist.
The Red Foxes' final goal came
with just 3 :3 3 remaining in the con-
test following another five goal

Junior Pat Scully used

goal making the score 16-4. Man-

the final score 17-4. Brian
Schurneyer and Ben Gildea com-
bined for nine saves in goal for
Marist.
Nick Silva and Eugene Tanner,
winners of the MAAC offensive
player of the week and rookie of
the week awards respectively, led
the Jaspers to victory. Kelly scored
three goals and had one assist,
while the frestunan Tanner scored
four goals and passed for five as-
