bji·JUSTIN. SEREMET .. ··
Steven Seagal is trying to make a state-
ment: the environment is a mess and we have
to dean it up.
Unfortunately, "On Deadly Ground" at
times seems about as polluted as the Exxon
Valdez disaster.
Mr. Seagal's latest film not only features
blood, gore, explosions, and vulgarities ad
nauseum; but has Michael Caine with a new
hairdo that looks like it's fresh out of a com-
mercial for Clairol Hair Treatment for Men.
How Caine can have·such a good outing
as Scrooge in "A Muppet Christmas Carol"
and follow it up with a _role as out.of place
as his part in "Jaws: The Revenge" is
beyond me.
The film is Seagal's first time in the direc-
tor'.s chair, and it often shows.
The plot is as simple as ever: Seagal is For-
rest Taft (forest ... environment, get it?),
director of disaster control for a crooked oil
company called Aegis, headed by Caine's
ruthless character, Michael Jennings.
Forrest discovers Jennings' sleazy plan to
: blow up his own oil rlgS in order to fund the
largest oil refinery ever, Aegis
L · ·
·
.
Don't ask .me to go jnto this scheme·
because it stiU doesn't make any sense to me.
Upon discovering that Forrest."knows too
much,'' Jennings attempts to have him kill-
ed in an- oil rig
-
explosion. . __
.
Needless to say, Forrest survi_ves the attack
and is saved by a group of eskimos who teach
him how to love and appreciate the "spirit
ofthe land."
·
The oil executives are also disturbed when
they learn (guess what?) he used to be part
of the CIA, giving him the same sort of
weaponry knowledge as.MacGyver.
If this seems at all familiar, it's because
Seagal's last role was a cook who was really
a SEAL in "Under Seige."
There is also an incredibly ridiculous scene
in which Forrest dreams of tribal dances,
eagles, and old eskimos chanting, almost
reminiscent of Jim Morrison dancing with
indians in "The Doors."
Through all the eskimo teachings, Forrest
now has thewiH and desire to put an end to
the environmental damage caused by Jenn-
ings an_d his.Aegis compa11y . . .
·
..
Y<>u _c;in probably,,figure. out the rest.
· But· don't · fret~ Seagal action fans;· just
becausflh.ere is a somewhat confusing plot
doesn't'mean. that the. sadism will let up.
There's still that cliched · barroom brawl
that pits Forrest against 20 or.so beer-bellied
thugs. . .
.
.
.
· Arms are snapped and cracked, ht!ads are
smashed, and there's ple~ty of those kicks
to the crotch where the audience let's out an
"oooh" and the poor soul on screen yeHs
out, "my nuts!"
·
For some reason,
I
still get a sick thrill
from watching this kind of stuff.
.
A
technique (not exactly a new one) used
by Seagal is .to
.
use slow-motion in some of
the fight scenes to emphasize just how much
it hurts to_ have your head fly through a glass
window.
·
-
Meanwhile, it still boggles the mind how
Michael Caine decided to take this part since
it can't really help his (for the most part) ad-
mirable career.
His character is the typical cold villain who
has no sympathy for the ecology he is disrup-
ti'ng·or the p~ople he·har'ms ..

Th~
reason may be that he ha

seems that ~eagal is trying hard to get
away from being the main attraction in his
films .by featuring established actors, Uke
Tommy LeeJones in "Under Siege," .or in
this case Caine, and having plots that are
supposed to make you "think!'
This, of course, is a far cry from films like
"Marked for Death" or "Out for Justice,"
which have brainless plots, great fight scenes,
and villains like Screwface.
Nevertheless, ''On Deadly Ground". pro-
vides the average red-blooded .American the
violence he (or she) always craves, but most
people with a decent amount of wit will find
it to be a bit too crude. (Grade: C-) ·

DANA BUONICONTI
There's something universally
appealing about spring in
February.
Mother Nature came through for
us big time this past weekend, and
1
couldn't have been happier; this
campus needs more people in
shorts.
And with that said, let's get
to
the tunes. ·
I
found some cool stuff in my
mailbox this week, courtesy of the
mighty, if somewhat homogenized,
Sony Records.
The best of the bunch, to my sur-
prise, are two industrial/metal-type
bands: Stabbing Westward and
Prong.
The Chicago-based Stabbing
Westward has just released their
debut record, "Ungod."
.
They remind me a little bit of
Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, but
with more ambience.
And instead of using electronics
as a basis for songs, like Ministry
and
NiN
are famous for doing,
Stabbing Westward use electronics
as a way of enhancing · their
material.
Maybe the most intriguing song
on the record is "Can't Happen
Here," which combines industrial
with African and Arabian-
sounding. percussion.
.
The result is. a unique twist on
the standard industrial fare.
One fault I have with Ministry is
that sometimes their songs are too
long, and because of that, there
tends to be few musical and struc-
tural changes within the songs ..
Stabbing Westward avoids this
pitfall with the ultra-catchy "Con-
trol" and "Nothing."
Both songs are fairly short, with
easily identifiable pop verse/chorus
formats, so it's hard to get bored
with what's going on.
·
Another sharp track
on
"Ungod" is the NIN-sounding .
"Lies."

·
According to Donise English's
artist statement, she
·
wanted to get
in touch
._
with the natur
.
al
environrnent.
.
After sculpting with bronze and
other
-
man made metals English
wanted to return to the environ-
ment and use materials that came
from the woods.
·
.
"I now spend time in the woods
near my studio where there is an
abundance of tree branches that
have died and found their way to
the floor of the woods," English
said.
English has taught classes in
sculpture and fundamentals of
drawing at Marist for 7 years.
She also teaches a class at Dut-
chess Community College, and
earned her degree
.
in
.
painting from
Bard College in Red Hook, N.Y.
English said she used to express
her intellectual preoccupations
through molten materials and she
found it, "bereft of any connection
with the natural environment."
English now responds and par-
ticipates with a work through the
natural world around her instead of
basing her work on an intellectual
preconception.
.
The change in philosophies is
due in part to time. Basically world
opinion
has
realized that waste and
distance from nature have left
societies devastated environmental-
ly, according to English.
English's art is a return to nature
and all of its abundances. Being
able to make decaying
·
branches
and sticks into something mean-
ingful is a very rewarding process,
English explained
.
Before using nature's waste to
·
create art, English used massive
amounts of power for welding and
casting metals.
She now goes into the woods and
searches for sticks with peculiar
twists and knots while trying to
understand
their
spatial
movements.
"They begin to suggest to me an
image of a three-dimensional form
that can be made from them,"
English's statement said.
The whole process of searching
and studying materials is where she
conceives the ideas that eventually
become scultures.
English decided to concentrate
on sculptures instead of painting
because
.
she wanted to realize her
two-dimensional objects.
The materials English uses are all
natural, even the outer layer, or
skin as she calls it, is beeswax.
"I work the wax to create a
roughness that is simlar to the
roughness that I find in natural sur-
faces such as rocks, tree bark and
leaves," English said.
English said her works have a
common characteristic, all of the
forms have human qualities.
"The surface texture
appeals not
9nly to a cognitive sensibility but,
even more powerfully, to our emo-
tional and sensual memories,"
English said.
As well as taking up much of her
time there is very little monetary
gain.
"My sacrifices are to be an ar-
tist," English said. Her purpose
has never been to make money but
rather to create.
English said she makes a connec-
tion, between the materials she uses
to mark the surfaces, with nature
and man.
"Materials such as rubber cord,
wire, furniture casters or
,
rubber
gloves are important parts of the
sculptural composition," English
said.
There is a
strong
intention
to
connect man with nature because
of the already
significant
ad-
vancements according to English.
"A year ago my finished
scultures were heav •, hard and in-
destructable. Today my sculptures
are light soft and fragile," English
said.
English has entered three pier.cs
of her work in two exhibits. This
spring in Summit, N.J. she has one
sculpture at the New Jersey Center
for Visual Arts, March 13 through
April 15 and in Corpus Cristi,
Texas,
at
Del Mar College, April
I throu h 29.

One has to admire a man who
could go fishing for squirrels with
a fishing rqd and a bag of nuts.
It's that imagination, creativity,
the rest of the philosophical
authors that seem to populate the
Self-Help sections of your local
bookstore.

It
is here that Fulghum radiates
a spirituality lite.
Once a pastor,

An ironed shirt, field trips,

Little things.

contradictory notions I hold: Look

Robert Fulghum a perennial
bestseller.
His first book, "All I Really
Need to Know

awareness of the richness of human
existence without the burden of
religious attachmenls.
Insight is the most impoi;tant
tool of the modern individual.
Realizing one's own position within
the cosmic play of life.
How about a game of musical
chairs without the chairs? It's
possible, but what is the solution,
and what does it have to do with
how we see winners and losers?
How much does Jove cost, and
is it really worth a dog?
· Why is a man's wallet the secret
vault of his psyche, and what hap-
pens when you ask to empty it?
And, why is there an empty chair
sitting· next to the double bass
player in the Minneapolis Chamber
Symphony?

Man sues squirrel after campus altercation
The World Out There

MARTIN
I'm suing my readers.
I seek damages totaling $3
m!llion for their lack of support,
therefore, limiting my future
income.
I think I'll sue Marist a·s well.
I'll sue because of my scummy
shower curtain, the sloppy
snowplowing, the snow that falls
off my Townhouse roof, and, for
good measure, I think I'll sue the
SGA for psychological damage
done to me for shutting down The
Circle last semester.

In July, retired Air Force Maj.

Elvis Presley, charging that the

fraud" that Presley died in 1977.
Smith says that the estate's
"claim" interferes with his at-

current whereabouts.

he died at the scene. Police said
Daily was free of blame, and now

Faculty members were also pretty scarce at these events. We are here to get
·
an education. Part of this education process includes learning by example. What
kind of example are we getting?
Communication.
-
Perhaps
if
the administrators and trustees were held
·
accountable to
-
the
students, communication would not be the problem that it is.
Important decisions are made without any student iriput because of the lack
of communication.
There are those who would like to keep it that way.
For some, it would be easier to ~eep this hierarchal structure of power which
keeps the unassuming students at the bottom, content to vote for SGA represen-
tatives who
will
ensure an extra refrigerator
in
the townhouses.
The new student body president has an opportunity.
If
he really wants to improve communication on this campus, then start at
the top.
If
he really wants to serve his constituents, the students, he should hold
the administration and the trustees accountable.
All students should start questioning, suggesting, communicating. You do
not have to be a part of SGA in order to get things done. They are there for
us, but we can
·
take the initiative ourselves.
Communication cannot be one-sided. They may not like it, but we can force
those in power to listen.
We have no idea
-
what really goes on at this school. There is the real com-
munication problem. Enough appeasement. We want more.

After talking with a professor; the answer
became obvious, there is no reward or incen-
tive for you to come back to campus at night
and interact with the students.
Moving on ...
I
do not have a lot of space but I will try
and explain some of the reasoning behind the
column on political correctness.
Some people have come to me asktng me
if I made those political correct words up.
The 'answer is no.
-
·
-
I have friends who work on Capitol Hill
in D.C. and
I called them up to try and get
some of the "buzz-words" on "the Hill."
I do not agree with the word "challeng-
ed"
because
I believe that tha~ is how the ma-
jority looks at the minority
.
If
everyone was
in wheelchairs, then it would not be a
challenge.
Since everyone is not homosexual or "sex-
ually challenged", people may perceive it as
a challenge.
Just
as
last week when
I
challenged the
students, this week
I challenge the faculty.
Go make a positive change for the Marist

Editor:
On behalf of the Media Center,
I
want to acknowledge the outstan-
ding. efforts. made by MCTV,
MCSC, WMCR, SGA, and The
Circle, for contributing to the suc-
cess of the
"live"
broadcast of the
Presidential Debates.
Students who worked as the
technical crew, the panelists, the
promoters,
and
candidates
themselves, gave their all for this
special campus event.
I
was most impressed with the
enormous preparation and com-
mitment everyone made to this
program.
Special recognition to James
Gorham for directing and coor-
dinating the television broadcast.
The above clubs proved to our
community their talent, profes-
sionalism, and desire to put their
education and enthusiasm to use at
Marist.
We believe in you.
Congratulations on a fine job

R.ock Convention Culture
I
went to the record conven-
tion at the Mid-Hudson· Civic
Center, and here is a place
where you see many interesting
people and wonder if maybe the
town jail was just too crowded
and the authorities said "Just
Go."
.
No famous rock performers
were there - yet they all seemed
to look like one.
I
mean they all looked like the
Addams Family ~haracter
Cousin It, which I imagine
wouldn't be the best look for
dating or parole hea·rings.
Yet they all seemed to be out
on parole and with some pretty
hot girls, which could only be
explained by the girls need to
possibly visit the optometrist
and depending on how intimate
their relationship is with the
Charles Manson look-a-like
maybe even the clinic for
a
free
blood test and lollipop.
I always thought that was
nice - the lollipop with the
bloodtest - "Oh you have a rare
blood disease, by the way,
cherry or lemon?"
Then of course these various
convicts at the convention also
seemed to have some strange
skin disorder where the pigmen-
tation on their arms formed
several reptiles and dragons
with occasional knives and kit-
chen cutlery.
Yes, I'm talking about
tattoos. _
l
wonder if any of them got
their tattoos at the place on
. Route
9
called "Tattooz".
This would bother me - so-
meone who is to put a perma-
nent ink marking on my body
using needles and can't even
spell "Tattoos"
l
mean it's a bad sign if you
go. to a tattoo parlor and ask for
. .. a .'.'MOM!'.·,.tattoo.:.on .. youi: ..
forearm and he asks, "How
would you like that spelled?"
I'd say, "Correctly would be
nice."
A rule of thumb - if you go
to get a
tattoo
with something
simple and pleasant spelled in it
like
"MOM"
or
"WAR"
and
Mr. Human Etch-a-Sketch
grabs a dictionary - GET OUT
OF THERE!
Now of course I sec many of
these Hell's Angels extras spen-
ding money like crazy at the
convention and I'm thinking
they should conserve their
money for the future because
bail can be pretty stiff
· l imagine how beneficial it
would be for the parents of
these kids if they could've seen
what their kid would turn out
like in 20 years.
Instead of a college education
fund it would be a bail and legal
fee fund.
And no time would be wasted
on looking for colleges, but in-
stead plea bargaining for
various
state
prison
accomodations.
Hey, I'm just kidding because
I
to went through my long hair,
leather, and temporary tattoo
stage - temporary because
I
was
low on both money and
threshold for pain.
But one day I looked in the
mirror and realized with this
hair I'm starting to look like a
girl.
And then
I
figured if I'm go-
ing
10
emulate a part of a girl
there are nicer parts than just
long hair.
Of course I can't grow any or
those nicer parts but I'm figur-
ing if any guy could then ven-
turing out of the house and get-
ting
a
job would really plummet
on our list of priorities.
·
Now as I walked out of the
record convention with about 11
cd's and looking over the
Chapter 11 forms I picked up
on the way out, a rather dirty
looking guy came up to me and
asked for money.
Now
I
do have a heart and
would like to help people out -
but I have no patience for
swpidity.
Standing outside of a place
where people just spent all their
money is a pretty dumb place to
be asking for it!
If you were smart you would
stand outside a bank.
Here is where people just got
mone)' and m,gh\ be mote
w:.U-
ing to share some.
.
But I wasn't totally heardess.
He asked for$ I to get a soda
and instead
I
gave
him
a
tip -
I
said "T.he snow is melting, if
you're thirsty grab yourself a
straw." Hey - in tough times
you've got to improvise.
Oh, and if you've taken
anything I've said to heart and
have been offended then you're
even more whacked in the head
than I am.
· But if you still feel the need
to
send hate-mail - please send
it to Shannon Doherty because
I think she deserves more.

"It's disappointing, especially
seeing how important the final
home game was tci the seniors
the last three years," said senior
right
wing Jeff Frost. "We have
to put our personal wants aside
and coricerifrate on playing
·
good hockey."
·
·
Seni~r right wing Kent
Rinehart agreed.
"it~s-'

chances, we are npt a good road
.
team," he· said. "The fan sups
·
port has been the highlight: of
my career. There is nothing we
.
can do but.move on and
.
win the
championship."
.
If only the situation was explain-
ed that well to those involved.
After their most successful year
in their five-season
existence,
posting an 8-1
.
~2 record, the
women's soccer team has turned
big-time -
Division I.
"The whole team is very excited
and glad that Marist supports us,"
said junior Kate Castle.
On the other side of the equa-
tion, lacrosse team members were
equally excited to find out that the
rumors
circulating
were
unfounded,
"I thought that the team was go-
ing to be cut, but they showed us
respect in keeping us," said senior
captain
.
Doug Closinski, from
Rome, N.Y. "Marist
will
have a
better chance in games played at
this level."
Players even
·
started to make
plans. for transferring to other
:
schools as the rumors surrounding
their possible disbandment circled

succeeded
.
us," said Tom Diehl; lacrosse
coach. "Now, all we have to do is
to get the other schools to join the
l~ague."
.
'
The women's coach shares the
s~me enthusiasm.
"I'm very proud of what this
team has accomplished," said
,vomen's coach Brother Dan
O'Riordan.
"They
worked real
hard and deserve where they're
at."
·
C
The work only gets harder from
here on in for both programs
.
·
Soccer will increase the number
or competitions from 10.to approx-
imately 22 games per
season
as well
as acquiring new equipment and a
new coach for recruiting.
.
"We'll be in a transition stage
for the first year; but we needed
that transition year to prepare, any
team does,"
said
Castle of the new
cti'allenges.
.
Julie Phillipon adds that the
''Thc
·
rurnors shouldn't have sur-
faced, bul wc
addressed
them, and
it cleared up the misconceptions,"
said Doris
.
"We tried
to
do everything right
the first time, because we didn't
want to be paying the price down
the road," Doris said .
The phase-in
of
funds as well as
the creation or the new league still
have bugs to be worked out, hut
·
the framework is in place.
·
"Money
will be coming in from
•
the institution (Marbt), phased in
from other parts or the college, but
that's for the Institutional Opera-
tion Group, who oversees funds, to
decide. They'll review where the
money ,viii come from, and I'm
sure that won't make some people
very happy," said Doris.
The teams are jusr happy that the
transition will help establish a base
rumors arc over.
