Brett A. Sokolow Is
a
specialist
In
campus safety,
security and sexual assault
policy and law.
ByALIREINA
Staff Writer
Students are going to drink re-
gardless of what others say.
Campus safety specialist,
Brett Sokolow, believes in this
philosophy and gave an inter-
active presentation regarding
students and alcohol, Tuesday
.
night, Novomber
5.
Sokolow, who graduated from
law school six years ago, thinks
that because drinking isn't a fad
that will die soon, students should
be better-informed drinkers and
follow his 10-step program.
Brian McAlpin,
student
body
president said he backed
Sokolow's beliefs and should be
instilled not only within this cam-
pus, but on others as well
.
"Alcohol
abuse and binge
drinking is a problem across our
nation's campuses," Mc Al pin
said. "I believe Brett's approach is
an excellent attitude to be adopted
by a college
.
"
Sokolow said that often college
students do not have the future in
mind when they partake in alcohol
consumption
.
"Sometimes we don't know that
something we do now will effect
our dreams," Sokolow said.
His 10-step program includes
tak-
ing the following precautions:
1. Be 21 or understand the conse-
quences. Utilizing his legal back-
ground, Sokolow explained the dif-
ferences between a felony and a
misdemeanor regarding the usage
of fake IDs. He informed the stu-
dents that po~sessing a fake ID in
the state of New York is consid-
ered a felony, and is punishable by
more than a year in prison.
Sokolow also brought drinking
into reality by discussing insur-
ance policies.
"Intentional crime voids any in-
surance policy that might cover
you," Sokolow said.
"This includes, DUI, DWI, or
drinking out of a common source
container such as a keg or beer
ba:ll."
2. Set goals.
"The goal seems to be about get-
ting drunk," Sokolow said. "What
we want to do is go out and get
buzzed, because loss of control is
high risk."
3. Ask yourself what you are go-
ing to drink.
4. Remember the "Myth
of
puking".
Throwing up, contrary to popular
belief, does not expel any alcohol
from your body. Alcohol goes into
your blood stream and your liver,
so drinking after throwing up
may
cause you to become more intoxi-
cated.
5.
Experiment with limits in a con-
trolled matter.
6. Portion control/food/pace.
Sokolow said drinking out of a 32
ounce cup is a red
flag to police in the event that you
get caught, as well as a heavy load
on the bladder.
"A 32 ounce cup is five or six
times the amount of liquid that
bladder can hold," Sokolow said.
7. Be familiar with the type of alco-
hol you are drinking and stick to
one.
8. Utilize the buddy system.
9. Avoid drinking games.
10. Be conscious of shifts in toler-
ance.
"When you are drinking, avoid
cars, beds and rooftops," he said.
"Also, remember to drink as a so-
cial
lubricant,
not a social event."
Sokolow has enacted more than
500
programs within various col-
leges and universities across the
nation. Aside from being admitted
to the Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey bar, he is President of the Na-
tional Center for Higher Risk
Man-
agement, and has authored books
and articles.
Calling all writers: New contest available
Playwriting Contest seeks scripts from interested students
ByFLORALUI
Staff Writer
Ever wondered what it would
be like to write a play or even
have it performed on stage?
Look no further, all current
Marist undergraduates are wel-
come to compete and submit a
one-act play to the John P.
Anderson Annual Playwriting
Contest.
·
Students who are interested
should write a play which is suit-
able for on-stage production,
should concentrate on a simple
story line which contains forty
to forty-five pages of
dialogue
and is capable of being per-
formed in twenty to thirty min-
utes.
"There are no specific issues
or topics which the writer has
to follow; he or she should write
what they know such as family,
friends, summer work/travel ex-
perience," suggested Gerard
Cox, Marist College Director of
Theatre Program.
Student playwrights have un-
til the end of this semester to
submit a well-polished play
script and are strongly encour-
aged to carefully read the com-
plete guidelines for the contest
before starting on the first draft.
The finest submissions will be
published in-house as works-in-
progress, and an annual collec-
tion of the short plays will be
used for the Theatre Workshop
during the coming spring semes-
ter. The course will enable testing
of the scripts as well as let writers
revise and improve their work. They
will also work side-by-side with
student-directors as their plays are
rehearsed. The final selection of
plays will be performed in the an-
nual April festival of student-writ-
ten plays.
"At present, we have well over
two hundred plays submitted since
the contest began," Cox com-
mented.
All submitted plays will be added
to a special collection which con-
sists of thousands of twentieth
century plays along with student
scripts and previous productions
which have been performed at
Marist,
One student playwright will be
named the winner of the annual
Anderson Memorial Award; he or
she will be given a commemorative
plaque as well as be added to the
permanent
roster of winners out-
side of the Nelly Goletli Theatre in
the Student Center. Other possible
awards include the in-house pub-
lications, workshop development,
staged presentation, cash stipend,
and personal trophy
.
During previous years, a great
number of communication and En-
glish majors have submitted to the
contest, as Cox encourages all
fields of studies to offer variety and
diversity
.
"An American poet once said that
an ulcer is an unwritten poem," he
stated.
He feels that.it is important that
students should discover
the
cre-
ative urges within themselves and
use their talents to risk externa:liz-
ing what they
think
and feel. This
is why he strongly hopes that ev-
ery student should think about
writing for the Anderson competi-
tion.
The playwright contest was es-
tablished in 1987 in memory of
Marist graduate, John
P.
Anderson
(' 86) who died during his first paid
trip to England. A number of his
short plays, which were considered
fresh and funny, have been per-
formed in previous years at the
Marist play festival. Past winners
include:
1988: Richard Sabol
_
1989: Christian Meyer
1990
&
1992: MarcLiepis
1991: Annda:lena Glaze
1993: Ed Budd

Cox recalled that there have been
well over two hundred plays which
have been submitted since the
contest began. These plays have
been added to the library's special
rncr.ocadtmldfC.,.
Recently Professor Cox was one
of eighteen American playwrights
chosen through a national
competition
to
participate In a
program set up
by
the
Association for Theatre In Higher
Education. His
play,
"In

Community Editor
Tuesday
11 /5
A student reported that a poster
he had done as a chemistry project
had been stolen from the chemis-
try bulletin board on the second
floor of Donnelly. The poster had
no monetary value, but after count-
less of hours of blood, sweat and
tears (well maybe not blood) much
sentimental value was at stake in
the crime. The poster is still miss-
ing as of press time.
Tuesday
11/5
There was another motor vehicle
incident in the Beck place parking
lot at about 5:00 p.m. The owner of
a 1992 Honda reported that the
passenger window was broken
into and a purse was taken from
underneath the passenger's front
seat. About $125 was missing in
the incident and the town of
Poughkeepsie police took a full re-
port.
Wednesday
11/6
The window in the West door of
Lowell Thomas was reported to be
smashed at about
1
:55
a.m.
It
is
suspected that the culprit per-
formed the dreaded Greco-Roman
knee lift to smash the glass win-
dow, but no entry was gained.
Wednesday
11/6
At about 6:45 a.m. a housekeeper
on duty in Midrise noticed that the
vending machine glass from the
candy machine had been broken.
The glass was shattered, but it
didn't appear that any candy was
taken. Security removed the rest
of the broken glass and the candy
was taken and turned over to the
vending company.
Thursday
11/7
The melodious sounds of the fire
alarm filled the Old Townhouses B
block at about 11 :42 a.m. The culi-
nary geniuses occupying one of
the apartments failed to follow the
complex recipe of toast while pre-
paring breakfast and set off the
alarm after charring the bread. Se-
curity and Fairview Fired Depart-
ment performed their routine
chec,iks and uncovered alcohol,
drug paraphernalia and a BBQ
grill.
A half-filled liter bottle of Captain
Morgan's Spiced Rum, a half-full
keg of beer and two bongs were
confiscated by security and the fire
department took the grill.
Friday
11/8
Some careless smokers were the
catalyst for a leaf fire in the Marion
Hall courtyard at about 10: 15 p.m.
Security said that Smokey the Bear
was not the
RD
on duty unfortu-
nately and "only you can prevent
campus fires."
Friday
1118
The clinking of beer bottles rang
throughout the halls of Leo Hall,
prompting the on-duty
RD
to bust
a party. 12 bottles of Coors and
three cans of Genny were confis-
cated, and seven students were
reprimanded.
Friday
11/8
Some students were partying not
only too hard but too loudly at
about
11 :30
p.m. in Lower West
Cedar- N block. A noise complaint
prompted security to address the
situation. Upon investigating the
ruckus, a quarter keg of Busch,
three bottles of Bud Light and two
cans of Busch Light were confis-
cated, and
11
people were admon-
ished.
Saturday
11/9
A student was observed entering
Midrise through a window at about
12:45
a.m. Apparently not a fan of
doors or other conventional means
of dormitory entrance, the student
was removed from the female's
room that he had entered and sent
back to his own residence.
Saturday
11/9
One of the crafty entry desk offic-
ers in Midrise used his/her alcohol
detection skills to perfection at
about 1
:02
a.m. busting a visitor.
The visitor was attempting to
sneak in two
40
oz. Bottles of Bud.
The visitor was escorted off cam-
pus without incident.
Saturday
11/9
.
They say the early bird gets the
worm, but they don't necessarily
get the hole in ones. A couple of
students were observed practicing
their short game in front of the Old
Townhouses at 2:59 a.m. After
observing some misdirected chip
shots, security observed one of the
golfers flee into one of the A block
apartments with his golf bag. The
students were told that even
though it is clear they need prac-
tice, they can't hit balls in popu-
lated areas. According to security
their spots in the Marist Open field
are now in question.
Saturday
11/9
A student was found in the lobby
of Sheahan at about
3:23
a.m. ex-
periencing lower abdominal pains.
Sodexho is again in the clear as the
student was at a nearby diner that
evening and blamed the pains on
her dining experience. She denied
any alcohol consumption and re-
fused medical attention. She went
back to her room after the pain
slightly subsided.
Sunday
11/10
Sheahan Hall was the latest sight
of immature, sophomoric shenani-
gans otherwise known as vandal-
ism. At about
2:27
a.m. it was ob-
served that a trash can was tipped
over into a toilet on the first floor
bathroom, a soap container was
broken, a shower curtain was
ripped down and rotten food was
smeared on the hallway. The van-
dals were kind of enough
to
accom-
pany the rotten food with
everyone's favorite condiment,
ketchup. They did hold the mus-
tard and relish though.
Sunday
11/10
A
student was stopped at the
Sheahan entry desk at 2:35 a.m.
The student was reported to be
wobbly and slurring their speech.
The student said that she had only
had a few beers and was made to
sit in the lounge to sober up.
Sunday
11/10
Officers on patrol at
3 :40
a.m. found
a group of vehicles in the
Townhouse C lot, Hoop Lot and
North Lot with a white, powdery
flour-like substance smeared on
several of the vehicles.
It
is be-
lieved that the substance is not
harmful, however.
Letter from the Editor: Do more than criticize
by KATHERINESLAUfA
Managing Editor
As a senior, I have seen The
Circle go through a
variety
of
changes over the last four years.
Whether it is the layout, staff man-
agement, or the change from film
to digital cameras, The Circle con-
stantly changes.
However, despite all of the trans-
formation, there is one aspect of
The Circle that does not change:
the criticism.
Not an issue goes by where
someone does not have a comment
for myself, ifnot all of the editors.
These criticisms range from spell-
ing mistakes to ridicule concern-
ing the bands reviewed in the Arts
and Entertainment sections.
It
is not to say there are no mis-
takes in The Circle. Every Thurs-
day the editors always find errors
they would like to change. And,
as many forget, we are students.
Most of us take 15 credits, on top
of other campus activities, intern-
ships, jobs
.and
having somewhat
of a social life.
The purpose of this letter is not
to complain about those who criti-
cize the paper. In fact, some criti-
cism is great. However, rather than
simply complain, I propose read-
ers do something about their com-
plaints, and write.
It
is much easier to sit back, read
the paper and tell the editors what
they did wrong. However, it takes
some real power to criticize the pa-
per, and then work to change it.
If
you really think the college
newspaper is that bad then why
not do yourself and the campus a
service and start writing for it?
Currently The Circle is looking
for writers and photographers.
There are so many events on cam-
pus, and the current Circle staff
cannot possibly cover ev~rything.
If
anyone goes to an event and
feels it should be covered
in
The
Circle, then why not write about it
or snap some photos and send
them in? Give The Circle office a
call or email an editor if interested.

SGA
hosts freshman and sophomore
•
ice skating event
ByATNSEIR
Sat.ff Writer
The Marist Student Government
Association (SGA) sponsored an
event to bring the freshmen and
sophomore classes together· on
Sunday, Nov. 10.
Only eight out of the 50 people
attending the public skate at the
Mid-Hudson Civic Center Ice
Arena, however, were Marist stu-
dents. The students each paid $3
to take a bus from Marist to the
Civic
·
Center for the free skate that
ranfrom2:30p.m.-4:30p.m.
Freshmen and sophomore class
presidents, Garret Thibodeau and
Katie Buckley respectively,
planned the free skate activity.
"I thought it would be a fun event
to help the freshman class officers
get started," Buckley said. "We
wanted to plan something for them,
and I thought ice skating would be
fun."
The eight freshmen were sur-
rounded by a swarm of small chil-
dren, who could barely keep their
balance, often holding a parent's
hand or clutching the edge of the
boards for balance. Nevertheless,
the students skated circles around
Campus Ministry hosts Hunger Month
By CASSI MATOS
Co-News Editor
In
honor of declaring November
"Hunger Month," Campus Minis-
try is hosting several activities
dedicated to fighting hunger. The
activities include raising money,
collecting food and a campus wide
fast.
This past week, they held "Buck
Hunger," in which ministry mem-
bers sat at various locations
around the campus asking stu-
dents, staff and faculty to donate
a dollar to combat world hunger.
The "Marist Fast" took place on
Tuesday, November 12. Students
were asked
to
donate one meal from
their meal plan and in return, Din-
ing Services would donate money
to help fight
hunger.
Sign up
sheets were
located
in the
Champagnat Breezway, as well as
outside the Cabaret and in
Donnelly.
In addition, during the week of
November 10-17 is the "All Cam-
pus Food Drive." All students are
asked to donate any unopened
food to the poor. To find out where
you can donate, be sure
to
contact
your RA.
Student receive preliminary schedules
ByPAULSEACH
Assistant Sports Editor
The office of the registrar mailed
students their preliminary Spring
2003 schedule this week.
The course change period is from
December 2-9 in Donnelly room
207.
The schedule sho'uld list all the
courses the student enrolled in and
let's the students know if the class
was available.
If
a student did not rereive a
class they attempted to enroll in,
they will see one of these mes-
sages on their schedule:

bring their schedule. Adding dif-
ferent sections of courses already
on the preliminary schedule does

Thibodeau and his classmates
did not seem to let the low atten-
dance stop them from having fun.
"Even
though
a lot of people
didn't show up, it was still a good
time," Thibodeau said.
As music echoed throughout the
ice rink, the students skated freely,
while stopping at one point along
the boards to take a picture, with
their arms around one another.
Thibodeau hopes that in the
fu-
ture, SGA events will draw a big-
ger crowd.
"It
was a shame that no one
showed up, but I just wanted to
get the word out the we had a
good time, and maybe next time we
have an event, more people will
show up," Thibodeau said.

Students plan
to
spend break
in
Cuba
by ERICA HOFF
Staff Writer
Go away for two weeks, earn
three
credits, and change your life.
The Marist International Program
organized the Winter Intercession
Program 2003 trip to Cuba, which
is offered primarily to undergradu-
ates. The two-week intensive pro-
gram is cross-listed in a number of
areas including history, political
science, communications and busi-
ness. An initial 20 students were
accepted on a first come-first serve
basis. The remaining students were
wait listed and then accepted.
"We have a flood
[
of appli-
cants]," said International Program
Director, Dr. Duleep Deosthale.
"We're encouraged by the enthu-
siasm of the students."
.
The program cost of $2,800 in-
cludes: Marist tuition for the course
credit, rooodtrip airfare (New York
City-Havana), Havana airport
transfer, accommodations, two
meals a day, insurance, weekend
trip to Trinidad, site visits in Ha-
vana and Cuban visa fees. Per-
sonal expenses, personal excur-
sions, passport, and airport depar-
ture tax are not included.
Before students depart they are
expected to write a paper on why
they want to go and their expecta-
tions of the trip, both of which re-
quire research on Cuba. Students
are graded on a larger paper to be
completed when the students re-
turn, journal entries, attendance
and participation, and the pre-de-
parture paper.
Deosthale
obtained a two-year
license from the Department of
Treasury in order to enter the coun-
try for academic purposes.
Deosthale said he would love to
have the license renewed for
fu-
ture years. He encourages students

Because Cuba is one of few coun-
tries to remain communist, it has
restricted U.S. citizens for nearly
40years.
"It is an opportunity of a lifetime,"
said Deosthale.
Students participating in the pro-
gram will experience the culture,
society, and history in a secure
environment. They will also have
the opportunity to meet with Cu-
ban writers and artists in an aca-
demic setting. Students will be able
to interact in the English

"We are trying to break some of

a safe environment."
Management faculty member and

Director
of the MPA, Dr.
James D. Kent, is the program di-
rector. According to Kent, the pro-
gram allows people, who may not
have had the opportunity with
more strict academic programs, to
have the chance to focus outside
their major,
In the morning students will at-
tend classes. The afternoon
will
be designated for field trips asso-
ciated with the lessons, such as
museums and the cigar factory. In
the evening students are free to
interact with other students and
complete assignments.
"It changes your life," said Kent.
"Views of
the
world, Cuba and the
United States will change before

The goal of the program is to
have students appreciate foreign
culture and gain knowledge from a
society that Americans have not
had the opportunity to observe.
"It's different from what people
expect," said Kent.

'Stretch your mind' and study Chinese
by MARY FRITZ
Staff Writer
This semester the foreign lan-
guage department brought back
the Chinese program that had been
on hiatus for some 20 years.
Students now have their pick
between seven different languages
to learn at Marist: Latin, Spanish,
Japanese, German,French, Italian,
and Chinese.
A commonly held s
_
tereotype is
that Chinese is one of the hardest
languages to learn. The nine stu-
dents enrolled in the Elementary
Chinese I class might agree.
Sophomore Kim Longona, whose
mother speaks a different dialect
of Chinese than what she is learn-
ing in the classroom, said she
agreed this language is a struggle
to
grasp.
"You have to work really hard.
It's not like the
[English]
alphabet
at all," said Longona. Some char-
acters have stories which is help-
ful,
but otherwise it is a lot of memo-
rization."
Most of the nine students in the
class have some extent of familiar-
ity with Chinese, either through
ancestry or high school Chinese
classes.
Yvonne Lee, sophomore at
Marist said that previous experi-
ence does not necessarily
mean
Elementary Chinese I is easy.
"Although I already know two
different dialects for the Chinese
language, I am essentially learning
a new
language
,"
she said. "The
pronunciation is hard to grasp."
Chinese Professor Gloria Chen
said she emphasizes the speaking
elements.
"All
languages
can be easy or
hard," Chen said. "You must learn
the right method. Chinese charac-
ters take a long time to get used to.
The class is struggling with char-
acters, but I am proud that they are
speaking well."
Chen has a long history in teach-
ing Chinese that spans over 25
years. For 10 years she taught in
Taiwan, moved to the United
States and began
teaching
in North
Carolina and then transferred to
Virginia. Several years ago she
moved to New York, where she
taught in the SUNY system at New
Paltz. She came to Marist College
in hopes of rejuvenating this pro-
gram that was abandoned in the
early eighties.
"I really hope I
can
help to build
up the Chinese program at Marist,"
said Chen.
What produced a recent want for
the return of this
program?
For-
eign Language Chair Irma Blanco-
Casey said it was in response to a
certain class offered last spring.
"The Chinese program was
brought back from students' inter-
est enrolled in the 'Intro to Global
Studies' class last semester."
Casey said she sees the Chinese
program expanding in the near fu-
ture. The
Japanese language pro-
gram has been at Marist for the
past 10 years. These students now
have the opportunity to study
abroad in Japan for a semester
or
a
year.
"There is a strong possibility of
a Chinese abroad program before
too long," said Casey.
The early success of the Chinese
program shows the increasing in-

program made Its debut this semester after being absent from course listings for nearly 20 years.
terest of Marist students. One stu-
dent is already planning to study
abroad next semester in Hong
Kong.
Casey also believes foreign lan-
guages should become a require-
ment for graduation regardless of
a student's major.
"Languages are improving in in-
terest at Marist," Casey said. "Stu-
dents can use it to fulfill a core
class which is an incentive.
It
helps
to know languages. The one that
can speak different
languages
works well in the real world."
Professor Chen agrees with
Casey.
"Chinese speaking people are in
high
demand,"
said Chen.
Freshman Clare Malnar, who
plans to major in business with a
minor in Chinese, sits in on the El-
ementary I class once a week to
prepare for Elementary II next se-
mester.
"I took five years of Chinese in
high school. My goal is to become
fluent," said Malnar.
While the Elementary I class will
not be offered again until next fall,
any students with previous expe-
rience in Chinese may enroll in the
Elementary II class for the spring
2003 semester.
"We welcome any new students
with any Chinese experience," said
Chen. "I encourage students to
take the challenge of an eye-open-
ing experience and widening your
cultural views. You would be
amazed at how capable you are."
Casey said

November is smoking awareness month
Health Services offers smoking

program
"I have always held to the belief
that the more you know, the better
citizen you will be, both of your
country and the world. You have
to know about others. Stretch your
mind"
by ANGELA DEFINI
Staff Writer
Did you know that every day in
the US, 3,000 teens become ad~
dieted to smoking and 1,000 of
those teens will later die from ciga-
rettes?
Cigarettes kill 1,200 Americans
e"ery day, totaling a tragic total of
420,000 deaths each year? Or what
about the fact that during 2002 an
estimated 203,500 new cases of
breast cancer are expected to oc-
cur among women in the United
States?
Every month, Health Services
tries to raise student awareness
about various health issues facing
college students and adults alike.
The month of October was Breast
Cancer Awareness month and
Health Services provided Marist
with bulletin boards and pamphlets
full of information, as well as can-
dies with information about breast
cancer on the wrappers. Students
could also wear pink ribbons to
show that they are concerned
about the fight against the disease.
Thursday, November 21 is des-
ignated as the Great American
Smoke-Out, and Director of Health
Services Jane O'Brien said she felt
it would only be appropriate to
make November the month to raise
smoking awareness.
The week of the third Thursday
in November, Health Services will
have an information table provid-
ing more pamphlets and factual
bulletin boards about smoking.
There will also be exhibits such as
a can of tobacco and a model ofa
cancerous lung.
.
O'Brien is one of the coordina-
tors of Smoking Cessation, which
is a program being established for
students who wish to quit smok-
ing at Marist. Depending on ne-
cessity and interest in Smoking
Cessation, a number of classes will
be held to aid those on campus who
wish to stop smoking. Smoking
Cessation is not a program only for
the month of November; it is al-
ways available for students to join.

ulty or staff members who wish to quit as well."
This is an individualized program, and flyers will

by JAMES SKEGGS
Opinion Editor
These are supposed to be the
best four years of your life. The
time when you don't need to worry
about anything execpt discover-
ing who you really are and experi-
encing new things.
I was in the computer lab yester-
day and I saw these two girls pull-
ing their hair out over a ten page
paper. They said they had been
working on it for three weeks.
They haven't slept, gone out or
relaxed and felt like leaving school
because there is just too much
work to do. On top of that, they
have no idea what they are going
to do with their lives. They would
just rather leave this ''hell hole"
and escape to the warm confines
of their parent's home.
I have to say that I have felt this
way before: bogged down with
work, tests and papers that you'd
rather just leave; escape this place
where your parents dropped you
off, go home, sleep in your own
bed and not have to worry about
waking up for your eight o'clock
class:
I soon realized, however, this
was the easiest I was ever going
to have it. Never again
will
I be
able to live in a dorm with 500 kids,
or live in a house with ten guys.
The rest of my life will soon be
filled with long hours at the office
and an occasional family outing
on the weekend.
I'm going to miss having a
roomate to come home to. It's nice
to share a room with someone and,
iri a sense, share your life with
them. I try not to look at it as a
burden, but instead as a blessing.
When I'm thirty, sitting at home
waiting for my wife to come back
from work, I' II be wishing that
someone will run into the room
and tell me something crazy that
just happened.
I'll be wishing that three
drunk
kids will break into my room while
I'm in there with a girl. You see,
these things will never happen
again and the rest of your life will
be filled with absolute boredom.
Why not enjoy these times that you
have and treat everything like a
game.
Look at it like this: We're trapped
in the most exciting video game of
our lives and it's up to us whether
or not it's difficult or fun. Class is
not a burden, but a game between
you and your professor. You're not
really learning anything that you
couldn't go and find out on your
own by reading a book. Try and
pry, form individual relationships
with these older, more experienced
humans, and attempt to learn some-
thing from their experiences.
When class becomes a game, all
of your stress will begin to vanish.
You don't have to worry about the
next paper because you can dictate
the parameters of the assignment.
All it takes is a litte one on one time
with the professor. Spend some
time and get to know them and
don't treat them as an entity on the
outside of your universe.
Break down that barrier and let
them into your life for real. This is
the only way that you will ever re-
ally learn from them. They are real
people too: they love, they feel
pain, they feel suffering, they have
wants and desires. Don't treat them
like robots who are only good for
processing information.
Once class becomes a fun part of
your day, begin to eliminate the
other needless stresses in your life.
Don't stress about relationships,
they are games too. They are only
there to serve as practice runs until
you finally go after the ultimate
challenge: a spo~se. Seriously,
thousands of people starve to
death everyday. Even more are
victims of war and street violence.
Countries are self righteous and
only care about themselves. The
world is controlled by greed and
cannot be explained by any man.
Don't get caught up in the su-
perficial. There's more to worry
about then fighting with your girl-
friend or boyfriend. There's more
to life than having a fancy car and
the most up to date clothes. Be-
fore you know it, you'll be
forty
and have a lot of important things
to worry about such as credit card
payments and mortgages.
So why worry about these things
now? This is the time for you to
go out and have fun. Meet new
people and learn from them. There
are 4,000 students here, not to
mention the people who work at
the college. You can meet some-
one new everyday, and learn to
look at things from a different per-
spective. Even if it's for a second,
it will help you to define your role
in history and ultimately, to become
a better person.
Your time here is precious and
before you know it, you'll be in the
real world. Don't get caught up in
the same old dreary things. You're
only wasting your time. There are
too many good things to be happy
for, to be wasting your time stress-
ing out or being depressed. Have
fun, go out and live a little. You'll
never really know anything about
yourself until you do. Remember
this is your one shot on this planet:
Don't blow it by being negative
and sheltered in a faceless reality.

The best movie you're not
watching ... but should
be
by ALLISON
KELLER
A&E Editor
Whether the theaters are flooded with
people trying to snag tickets to see Eminem
get out of the trailer park in
8 Mile, or others
finding out if they will survive a week after
seeing
The Ring, the line stays short, if not
empty, for the independent flick
My
Big
Fat
Greek Wedding.
Unlike some movies out there, everyone
in this movie looks like they could be a real
person. The romance involves not impossi-
bly attractive people, but a 30-year-old
woman who looks OK when she pulls her-
self out of her Frump Phase, and a vegetar-
ian high school teacher who urgently needs
the services ofSupercuts. Five
minutes
into
the film, one
can
relax,
knowing
it was set in
the real world, and not in the Hollywood
alternative universe where Julia Roberts
can't get a date.
The movie is warm-hearted in the way a
movie can be when it knows its people in-
side out. The audience loved that this movie
reached out to them and that they could
reach back and make it a phenomenon. Most
blockbusters open with $60 million, then
drop to $30 million the next week, then $15
million, then $7 million. This one has moved
in the opposite direction-the ugly duck-
ling that its oft-neglected audience has made
into a swan.
This must-see movie is a great alternative
to the other films that theaters are offering.

Foo's new
_
album,
One By One
by MATT
DUNNING
Staff Writer
First and foremost, allow me to clear
Dave Grohl 's name. He is not, I repeat, not
trying to revive grunge. Grunge is dead. It
died the day Bush's
Sixteen Stone nearly
topped the billboard charts (it peaked at
Number 4). So, let's all take a minute and
collectively come to grips with the fact that
grunge (which is a four-letter word in the
eyes of most of the bands that the term
sought to define, anyway) has died, and
all the Creeds and Puddle ofMudds in the
world will never, ever bring it back. Done?
Good. Now, on with the review.
It has taken them nearly eight years, but
the Foo
Fighters
finally made the album
that they've always been capable of mak-
ing.
One By One is hard-hitting and quick-
witted where it needs to be, allowing it to
be hushed and vulnerable where it wants
to be. The single-chord blitzkrieg
"All My
Life" is a speeding ticket just waiting to
happen. "Disenchanted Lullaby" is quite
possibly the laziest and most apathetic
love song ever written. At the very least, the
song deserves a nod for the line, "No one has
a fit like I do. I'm the ~nly one that fits you."
In fact, Dave Grohl's songwriting is better
across the board on
One By One. Set against
the cloudy and hauntingly distant guitarwork
of "Tired ofYou", Grohl has never sounded
so sincere as he laments, "So shame on me
for the ruse. Shame on me for the blues.
An-
other one returned that I'll never use."
The only tragedy of
One By One is that it
peaks early and just sort of fizzles out at the
end. Only the second song on the album, yet
clearly
the stand-out amid the other ten tracks,
"Low" is a huge step forward, evidence that
Grohl was paying close attention during his
stint as drummer for Queens of the Stone Age.
The album's closing arguments, the
uninspiringly titled, "Come Back" would prob-
ably feel
more
at home among the songs cut
from Jerry Cantrell's first album.
Grunge may be dead, but with tracks as
fuzzed-out and angsty as "Have It All" and
"Halo",
One by One is as fitting a eulogy as
we could hope for.

8 Mile 'raps' up number one
in
theaters
by
PAULDeMICHELE
Staff Writer
8 Mile
takes you into a world
that most Americans do not even
know exists.
The plot covers a w_eek in the
life of Jimmy Smith (Eminem), a
down and out white rapper trying
to break into a black industry.
Director Curtis Hanson wastes
no time before the audience is in-
timately acquainted with Jimmy's
life. You first see Jimmy in a
grungy
bathroom within a deserted shel-
ter on a night were he is set to
"battle".
Two rappers are given 45
seconds to
"battle"
each other
with insults. The rapper who re-
ceives the most applause wins.
The film follows Jimmy on a path
of ups and downs for him and his
friends until a inevitable "battle"
is set to resolve all the issues the
movie presented over its two hour
span.
As I sat there watching the final
showdown, I secretly prayed that
Hanson would take the high road
and not sell the movie out to capi-
talize on Eminem's current fame.
Hanson comes through and deliv-
ers a powerful ending that will echo
in your mind as the credits begin to
roll. Unfortunately, it will not take
long to realize that the movie was
based solely around a group of
people who gather together to in-
sult each other. The greedy, cut-
throat atmosphere Jimmy grew up
in was cleverly di~guised by
Hanson who, instead, focused on
·
loyalty and friendship as the under-
lying message of the movie.
The movie was filled with strong
performances all around with the ex-
ception of Jimmy's mother,
Stephanie (Kim Basinger). Her weak
acting mixed with a horrific accent
made me cringe whenever she had
screen time, which was extremely
surprising after her powerful perfor-
mance in L.A. Confidential.
Brittney Murphy played her role
~
Jimmy's love interest perfectly.
She convincingly portrayed a char-
acter that was both heartless and
supportive.
Eminem stole the movie with an
unbelievable acting ability.
As
much
as I would love to jump on the grow-
ing bandwagon of Oscar nominee

supporters for his
role, that may be a
little premature.
He did have sev-
eral awkward mo-
ments throughout
the
film
as expected
from any rookie ac-
tor. Although I
must admit, these
brief moments only
occurred in his
scenes opposite
Basinger who ap-
peared to be look-
ing past him at cue
cards.
There are many
that will give
Eminem credit for a
great performance
and retract it in the
same breathe by
accrediting it to the
fact that he played
a character that re-
sembled his real
life. Let me be the last person to
tell you that it takes more than life
experience to do what he did in
8
Mile.
After an altogether solid collabo-
ration of strong acting and re-
spectable directing; you are still left
with a story that has been told and
re-told several times: Th1s movie
will surely be a big hit among col-
lege students, however, it is more
than likely to fall short in the eyes
of the rest of America. Although
entertaining,
8
Mile
was in a word
-
forgettable.

Forty-two reasons to hitchhike
Adams' dry humor makes an old book a favorite
by JEN
HAGGERTY
Editor-in-Chief
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
~y
Douglas Adams
Genre: Science Fiction
PHOTOCREDIT/
AMAZON.COM
This Is the first book
In Adam's
Hltchhlkt1r
series.
Arthur Dent, left
alive after the
Earth is demol-
ished to make way
for a galactic free-
way, is brought
along on an unbe-
lievable adven-
ture by his friend
Ford Prefect, an
alien who has pre-
tended to be an
out-of-work actor
while stuck on the
planet Earth for
the past fifteen
years.
He is also a re-
searcher for the
revised edition of
The
Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Gal-
axy,
which contains ironic, funny
and sometimes useless information
about anything in the universe ("A
towel is about the most massively
useful thing an interstellar hitch-
hiker can have").
The author, Douglas Adams,
sprinkles random dry humor
throughout the course of
Hitch-
hiker,
which makes it a
laid-back
enjoyable read. His imagination,
however, sometimes gets a little
too far-stretched and can become
annoying to the reader. One of the
main themes in this book is the use
of the
Improbability Factor;
basi-
cally, anything that cannot happen
will. The idea is good- but the ex-
traordinary things that do happen,
such as two missiles turning into a
bowl of petunias and a whale, seem
far-fetched.
It is the crazy, ironic happenings,
however,
that keep the reader turn-
ing pages. There are whole chap-
ters devoted to totally random sub-
jects that seem to have no place in
the story, but actually contribute
to the book's humor. This book
does lack a plot, but that doesn't
matter when there
are
sly references
throughout the book that keep
readers
laughing
and on their toes.
("One of the things Ford Prefect
had always found hardest to un-
derstand about humans was their
habif
of continually stating and re-
peating
the very very obvious, as
in
It's a 11,ice day,
or
You're very
tall,
or
Oh dear you seem to have
fallen down a thirty-foot well, are
you all right?")
This book.is the first in the five
of the
Hitchhiker
series, and I must
say, I'm inclined to keep reading.
If you want a non-serious, fast-
read, give this book to try. Or per-
hap_s if you'd rather find out where
ballpoint pens disappear to, the
significance of 42, or the truth be-
hind cheese-gobbling mice, grab a
towel and this book.

Marist grad takes MSG to the top of sports broadcasting
by DAN COTOIA
Staff Writer
Michael McCarthy, the executive
vice president of MSG Network is
one of the main architects of suc-
cess at this growing regional
sports station, located inside the
"World's Most Famous Arena,"
Madison Square Garden in New
York City.
McCarthy, a 1982 graduate of
Marist College, has been instru-
mental in helping to establish MSG
Network, the largest and oldest re-
gional sports network in the coun-
try,
and FOX Sports Net (FSN), as
the premier carriers of regional
sports programming in the coun-
try.
He helps them reach out to
millions of viewers throughout the
tri-state area and beyond by pro-
viding exciting broadcasts of the
New York Rangers and Islanders,
the New York Knicks and Liberty,
the New Jersey Devils, and the
New York Mets, among other
teams.
The on and off-air talent and
broadcasts of up and coming
shows like "The Best Damn Sports
Show Period," "The Boomer
Esiason Show," and "Unnecessary
Roughness," wouldn't be on the
air in the New York area ifitweren't
for
him.
"lfMike (McCarthy) wasn't here,
MSG Network wouldn't be as pro-
ductive and as successful as it is
today;' Ivan Gottesfeld, senior vice
president of production at the net-
work said. "He has had so much
to do with our expansion and our
success as a whole."
MSG network just recently ex-
panded from part-time to full-time
programming this past year.
"It's been an unbelievably up-
ward spiral. When I first got here,
it was just sporting events service
(Knicks and Rangers games),
sign-
ing on at the tip off and signing
right off at the end of each game,"
McCarthy said in an interview at
the Garden. "Now we have a
twenty-four hour, seven days a
week regional sports network that
does high definition programming.
And it has it's own website and
radio division. It's really grown
remarkably."
McCarthy's career at MSG
started eariy, during his senior year
at Marist College in 1982, when he
accepted an internship at the net-
work. He joined the MSG staff af-
ter graduation and moved his way
up quickly. After 17 years,
McCarthy was flourishing in his
current post.
"I worked my way up and got
lucky a few times," said McCarthy.
"The company showed confi-
dence in a young person taking
over and allowed for growing
pains to be worked through. One
thing led to another and here I
run."
McCarthy is in charge of the
most important issues concern-
ing the network.
He manages $320 million in net-
work revenue and $100 million
in expenses. These expenses are
related to things like: hiring an-
nouncers and camera crews,
conceiving shows and pro-
grams, negotiating with cable
systems to carry the channel,
and paying the appropriate fees.
"Mike's a very intelligent per-
son and is very powerful in his
presence," Millie Melendez, a
secretary at the network said.
"He's a very busy man, but he
makes his job look easy when in
reality it isn't."
McCarthy gained much of his
sports knowledge and manage-
rial wisdom while attending
Marist.
"I loved the Marist College ex-
perience and I learned
a-
great
deal at the school," McCarthy
said ''The opportunity that I got
with the faculty was invaluable."
While at Marist, McCarthy's
hobbies included athletics, ra-
dio, and theater. He was a disc jockey
at WMCR and was sports editor of
''The Circle."
"I was a sports addict and a very
busy student," McCarthy said. "I
hardly ever left the school. I didn't
want to leave. Being sports editor
and a DJ were some of the great high-
lights of niy life."
One of McCarthy's favorite activi-
ties was theater. While rehearsing
"Dr.
Doolittle" at the Nelly Goletti
Theater, McCarthy met his wife
Allison, a 1983 graduate ofMarist.
"I guess I was just lucky,"
McCarthy said.
He and his wife have two children,
Jeremy, 13, and Maggie, 10.
In his spare time, McCarthy enjoys
helping out with the community. He
is a board member ofMadison Square
Garden's Cheering for Children Foun-
dation, a charity which dedicates
employee time to the after school
hours of youth in New York City. He
was responsible for organizing four
.
successful charity weeks last year
that raised more than $200,000.
"We help keep the kids off the
street and out of trouble after school
until their parents get home,"
McCarthy said. "It's been a very
fruitful experience."
McCarthy likes
to make a difference
in other people's lives.
"I want to make people's lives bet-
ter than they could be, whether it
involves contributing any financial,
emotional, or physical contribution
I can," McCarthy said.
There is no doubt that McCarthy
is brightening people's lives by
contributing high definition sports
programming to millions of people
in the area.
"The rest of the network and I
try
to do our best to serve the view-
ers," said McCarthy. "The most
important thing I can do is to make
the viewing experience the most
enjoyable it can be. Hopefully, I've
been able to do that."
McCarthy traces his current suc-
cess to his Marist experience.
"I hope everyone at Marist right
now realizes what a great commu-
nity they get to be part of. Hope-
fully students there now will take
advantage ofit like I did," McCarthy
said. "One of the main reasons I
love my job is because I'm happy
doing it. I would love to see Marist
graduates be as happy and as lucky
as I have been."
Asked ifhe could have imagined
himself being as successful as he is
today when he was a Marist stu-
dent, McCarthy said,
"If
success is
defined as enjoying your work, well,
yes, I was hoping for this. I couldn't
imagine anything better."
Equestrian teain has good showing in last coinpetition
by LAUREN KLINGLER
Staff Writer
This past weekend, the
Marist College Equestrian
Team finished out their fall sea-
son of competition at Cente-
nary College in Hackettstown,
New Jersey.
Captains of the team, senior
Karen Rodgers and junior Mara
Halley, started out the day by
bringing home top ribbons in
the Open Division, which is the
highest-level intercollegiate
riders compete in. Halley
placed first in over fences and
won her class on the flat and
Rodgers came home with sixth
place on the flat.
In the intermediate division,
senior Courtney Sutphen
placed sixth in over fences and
fifth in over fences and third
on the flat, and freshman
Beth Honcharski placed third
in over fences and reserve on
the flat.
In the novice division, jun-
ior Sara Esthus placed sixth
in over fences and third on
the flat, and junior Lauren
McGann was fourth in over
fences and fifth on the flat.
In the advanced walk/trot/
second on the flat, senior
canter division, sophomore
Amanda Von Haugg placed
Kerri D' Amico was reserve.
In the beginner walk/trot/canter
division, sophomore Maria
Ianne placed fifth and Jessica
Baldwin placed fifth as well.
In the last class of the day,
Amy Snell brought another first
place ribbon back to Marist in the
walk/trot division. This win re-
sulted in Snell's move into the
beginner walk/trot division and
a bid to regional competition in
the spring.
The team competed very well
against such large schools as
New York University, Columbia
University, SUNY New-Paltz,
Centenary College, and Drew
University. The team will re-
sume horse showing in the
spring.
The team is always looking for
new members and if anyone has
any questions concerning the
team or about joining, they can
call captain Karen Rodgers at
x567 l and captain Mara Halley
atx4319.

Swimming, diving teams continue MAAC dofilll1ance
.
by SCOTT MONTESANO
Staff Writer
When was the last time the
Marist men's swimming and div-
ing team lost a Metro Atlantic Ath-
letic Conference (MAAC) meet?
The answer is never!
In 40 MAAC meets since joining
the league in 1995-1996, the Red
Foxes are a perfect 40-0. That
equates to a dominating seven
straight MAAC championships,
more than any other school in the
two-decade history of the confer-
ence.
The 2002-2003 Red Foxes have
continued that trend, defeating the

Engle who won 200-yard IM and
200-yard backstroke, dropped to
3-
1.
While the men were on their way
to their 40th consecutive MAAC
win,
the women also opened their
conference season against Rider, in
much more dramatic fashion.
Needing to win, and have another
swimmer finish at least third, in the
final relay, the Foxes did exactly
what
they
needed. Marist took both
first and second place to pull off
the come-from-behind victory.
Karen Finnerty won both the
1000-yard freestyle and 500-yard
freestyle for the Foxes.
Both teams will return to MAAC
play on Nov. 16th when they host
St. Peter's and Fairfield at 1
:OOpm.
The squads were scheduled to
have a dual-meet Nov. 12 in New
Rochelle vs. Iona.
Clapper makes Marist
bowling club history
by TARA
DELMOUR
Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 30 was just
another day for Dan Clapper; that
is until later that evening, when he
accomplished something so incred-
ible, he didn't even think it was
truly
possible.
Clapper bowled a perfect game
during weekly competition with the
bowling club.
He had been
bowling
strikes the
entire game, but it wasn't until the
seventh frame of the game that he
noticed what he was
on
the brink
of doing.
When he finally realized what was
upon
him,
he
decided
to withhold
this
infonnation
froin
his
teanl
mem-
bers,
so as not to jinx what he
had
going.
Clapper grew more nervous with
each
passing
frame, he admitted,
and
as
he drew nearer to accom-
plishing
this feat,
more people
be-
gan
to notice the string of consecu-
tive strikes he had bowled thus far.
Although he tried to ignore what
was going on, he could not help
but hear the whispers and gasps
of the growing crowd around him
as they marveled at what they
were witnessing.
Clapper has been bowling for
about five years now, and up un-
til that fateful Wednesday night,
had never bowled a perfect game.
The closest he had ever come to a
perfect game was a score of 260
out of a possible 300. The
thought of actually bowling a per-
fect game had always been in the
back of his mind, but was never a
goal he viewed as realistic.
Although a bowler goes into
each frame trying to bowl a strike,
Clapper understood that it was
nearly impossible to actually do it
twelve times in a row, in one
game.
On this night however, anything
was possible and his dreams be-
came
a
reality; he had done what
he
thought
was unrealistic.
While a perfect game is a great
personal
feat, Clapper hopes that
a greater good will come from his
amazing accomplishment for the
entire Marist Bowling Club.
"I
hope this encourages more
people to join the Bowling Club."
