Clinton orders retaliationagainst Quban aggressi()n
By
SoNYA Ross
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -
De-
claring Cuba's downing of two
U.S. civilian aircraft a "flagrant
violation of international· law,"
President Clinton today gave his
support for congressional legis-
lation tightening sanctions
against Cuba.
·
He also halted all charter
air
. travel between the United States
and the island nation. .
Clinton said he would ask
Congress to authorize the use.of
Cuban assets· frozen in the
United States to compensgte
families of the pilots, who are
missing and presumed dead.
The president also placed fur-
ther restrictions in travel
in
the
United
States
by Cuban diplomats.

Clinton·said the.two Cessna
*craft downed Saturday were
unarmed and "posed no credible
threat to Cuban security;"
·
.: ''This shooting of civilian air-:-
craft was a flagrant violation of
international law," he said:

· The legislation being consid-
ered by Congress would. in-
crease·. economic pressure on
Cuba by barring countries from
reselling Cuban sugar and other
products in the United States;
cutting aid to Russia to the • ex-
tent that it supports an electronic
intelligence-gatheringfacility in
Cuba; and ordering the adminis--
. tration to
try
to block Cuba from
joining international financial in,-
stitutions.
_
The House also wants to al-·
. · low Aillericans to sue foreign
companies over property confis-
cated in Cuba~ The Senate previ--
ously had opposed that.
"All
charter
air
travel from the
United States to Cuba will be
suspended indefinitely," he said.
Clinton_. insisted the planes
were · in international air space

. Scenic Hudson released a let-

A spokesman for the state De-

have to develop a plan to stop
the chemicals from leaking and
to clean up the sites, he said. -
"It does not affect the state's

"It's getting a lot of work done at

to Sullivan; the corporation
bought the land primarily for
long-term
tax
liability ..
Raimo said planning the devel-
opment of the land will be slow
because of the college's tight
budget. Aside from. housing,
Marist is.also trying to find solu-
tions for library expansion and
Mccann Center renovation.
One reason Marist abandoned
its college housing complexes
two ye~ ago was because the
college was losing money. Just
one complex cost $1.5 million for
upkeep, which was more than the
amount collected from its resi- .
dents.
Raimo said anoth_er reas·on was

If
a:
student forgot
hi_s or her homework, it would not
be
as simple·
as
sprinting across
campus to get it.
According
to.Marty Ride~
the
·assistant director of housing and
residential life, the cost· of stu-
dent housing will be raised by
$10 or $15 per semester per per-
son next year, However, the ex-
. act raise in cost has not yet been .
approved by the Board of Trust-
ees.
Last year, the cost of housing
was $1968 for dormitories, $2237
for Gartland_ and the old
townhouses, and $2288 for the-
new townhouses.

TIM

Staff Writer
As warm weather gradually
becomes the norm and the grass
begins to tum greener, the cam-
pus green awaits activities that
will make it five up to its billing
as the focal point of the campus.
Appropriately, Earth Day will
be the first major event to take
place on Marist College's new
green.
Other possible events include
graduation, concerts, class wars
· (a ty.pe of field day), and a
psuedo drive-in movie.
Robert Lynch, director of Stu-
dent Activities, said he is very
excited about the new site.
"We want to celebrate spring
just as much as the students do,"
he said.
The Student Activities Office is
working overtime, according to
Lynch, with a number of events
planned or in the early planning
stages.
Earth
Day, which will take place
on April 27, is the biggest activ-
ity and interactive event planned

Mara wants to see student escort service
by
STEVE LINDEMAN
Staff Writer
The main concern of Pat Mara,
President
·elect
of student gov-
ernment, on his electoral cam-
paign focused on the security
guard rotation and the security
escort service.
The security Guard rotation is
a priority issue for Mara's presi-
dency. This would permanently
station the Guards at
a
particular
postat one of the five donnito~
ries on campus.
Currently, s~urity guar<l5-

students living

there, said Mafa.
·
·
·
·

"A security Guard posted at
a permanent dormitory would
prevent' any noil-Marist stu-
dents from entering the build-
ing," who may have found, stole,
or borrowed someone else's
ID,
he added.
Not knowing the students at a
personal level may increase the
chances of any problems, said
Mara ..

The current system of escort-

campus to their donns or hous-

The LD. card swipe system left many students thinking that entry guards would be eliminated.
Guido said students are not
enthusiastic about the new sys-

"It really bothers them that they
don't have
a
[regular]guard any-
more," he said. ''They don't feel
secure."
He also said if familiarity with
students is causing lax enforce-
ment of the rules, then individual
officers should
be
spoken
with.
According to Kelley Martin,
resident director for Marian Hall,
students may feel· like security's
regulations are infringing upon
their freedom, but they are very
necessary to protect their safety.
"When students.first go away
t9 college, at any college or uni-
versity; th~y think they're going
to have ultimate freedom and no
collegeofti~iversity offersthat,"
·she said.•. "We have a little com-
munity. to protect and just like
any-community, you're going to
have your regulations."
Martin
said security has done
a great job in protecting the stu-'
dents, however it is impossible
for security to come up with ev-
ery possible scenario that could
happen.
"You can't secure everything
110
percent and still give stu-
dents independence,"· she said.
''I think security has tried to be
pro-active, but we can't secure
ourselve~ agains( every type of
incident that may or may not oc-
cur."
·
Martin said students can also
take steps to improve security
themselves by doing things like
reporting incidents they see,
walking in groups and realizing
they need io take safety measures
when they're outside the Marist
community.
Martin said she misses the
support system that a permanent
entry guard provided, but can
see the reasoning for the change.
"The benefit is that they don't
know everyone so they can't be
lenient," she said.
Sophomore Traci Davis said
she likes the I.D. swiping system.
"I think it's a good way for se-
curity
to keep track of who's in
the building," said Davis.
Davis said she dis.approves of
the rotating guards.
said.
'.'I
guess people can't get
away with as much."
Sophomore Adam Schmidt said
he thinks security is too tight at
Marist. He said the entry guards
are
unnecessary.
"I'd
be
much more appreciative
if we had the swiping for the
day," he said. "I don't think we

According to Lindow, Vassar's
Bi Gay LA is an umbrella organi-
zation to seven other groups.
These groups include a sepa-
rate support group for men and
women that meets once a week.
There is also the ·continuum,
which explores bisexual issues,
t~o separate confidential groups
for men and women called First
Step, the Gay Straight Alliance,
and People of Collective Color.
Lindow said according to their
constitution, the mission of
BiGayLA is to provide a safe
space for people to talk openly
about a variety of sexual issues.
"On a more personal level, I see
BiGayLA as a way to increase
visibility and promote accep-
tance
as
opposed to mere toler-
ance," said Lindow.
Lindow said Vassar held a for-
mal last week that was expectetl
to draw about 150 people. The
formal
was open to the entire
campus, as well as to students
from the BiGayLA's at Marist,
Bard, SUNY New Paltz and the

According to Lindow, Vassar
will have many events in April ·to
celebrate Gay Pride Week. Events
include a punk show, speaker
Urvashi Vaid, a woman of color
and Vassar alumnus who heads
the National Gay and Lesbian
Task Force.
Lindow said she advises the
members of Marist BiGayLA to
keep pushing for a charter.
"Keep trying and don't give up
hope," said Lindow. "People
need to learn to be open and that
tolerance is not acceptance."

What you could be suffering
from is a condition known as
S,.A.D., or more commonly re-
ferred to as the winter blues.
S.A.D. stands for seasonal
af-
fective disorder.
An·
estimated
12 million Americans, both men
and women, suffer from
this
form
of depression.
For people who
are
afflicted by
S.A.D., their condition results.
from a lack of sunlight.
Junior Kristen Froliger said,
"I
think that some sort of depres-
, sion happens to everyone about
every three months, the cold,
and darkness of winter is enough
· to give both men and women
PMS."
S.A.D. was first recognized
about
10
years ago, and it was
distinguished as a disorder only
five years ago by_ the American
Psychiatric Association.
Michael Tennan, director of the
Winter Depression Program at
Columbia Presbyterian Medical
Center in Manhattan, said people
affected by this disorder begin
to feel better as spring ap-
proaches.
It is expressed by sadness,
fa-
tigue, irritability, difficulty in con-
centrating, .increased. appetite,
and other similar characteristics
of depression ..
Instead of bouncing out of bed,
S.A.D. sufferers tend to have
trouble waking up· in the morn-
ing because of the delayed dawn
oflate fall and winter.
One possible treatment con-
sists of staying up later at night,,
and then waking
later
in the morn-
ing. However, this treatment ~s
out of the question due to em-
. ployment and educational com-
mitments.
·
Another treatment for S.A.D in-
volves prescribed therapeutic
dosage of high intensity light in
the morning, in order to force suf-
ferers biorhythms back on a fea-
sible schedule.
But, possibly the most interest-
ing treatment involves exposing
S.A.D patients to an artificial
dawn while they sleep.

With twenty-four hours of
darkness during part of the
winter, it has the highest sui-
cide rate in the United
States.
Researchers have· con-
cluded that the main cause of sui-

GoTIILLA ·
.
Food Guy ,
· A number of people ,have told
me that Cappucino by Coppola's
on South Road in Poughkeepsie
is a romantic restaurant, so I de-
cided to try it for the most ro-
mantic night of the year, Valen-·
tines Day.
When
I
walked in~
I
noticed
a
dimly lit room iJ!1inediately to the
. right, and was pleased when the
hostess told my date and
I
to fol-
low her to our table ..
Then she escorted us to a table
underneath the only light in the
center of the room.
· At first
I
didn't mind, after all
the glaring light bnly made my
Valentine more visible, but after
awhile it became annoying.
I
asked our waiter if we could
move to an adjacent table away
from the light, but this was not
allowed.
I
was forced to eat
squinting.
Cappucino had certain special
dinners for two to coincide with
the holiday. They incJuded a
Caesar Salad for two and a vari-
ety of seafood_ combination.s for
about $25 each.
The restaurant offers a variety
of appetizers, many of them from
the sea such as Baked Clams
Oregante ($6.50), Calamari Fritti
($5;95) which is fresh succulent
squid, lightly floured, fried
golden brown and served with a
spicy fra diavolo sauce.
I
decided to try the Seafood
Sampler($5.75) a combination of
two clan1s casino, shrimp scampi
(2)
and one stuffed deviled clam.
I
had hoped that there would be
more to the plate than just these
five items, butJ was wrong.
My Valentine ordered a Shrimp
Cocktail ($5.95) and received
about five medium sized shrimp.
The restaurant has a variety of
choices. Chicken Vincenzo
($11.50), which is scallopini and
chicken topped with artichoke
hearts, prosciutto ham and moz-
zarella cheese, sauted in a white
wine sauce and served over an-
gel hair pasta, is among the many
chicken dishes.
Spring

son1e students to the tropics
Cappucino has many seafood
dishes available like a Zuppa Di
Pesce Ala Livornese ($16.95)
consisting of a half Maine lob-
ster, little neck clams, mussels and
shrimp sauted with marinara
sauce, served over linguine, and
Fresh Deep Sea Scallops ($11.95).

"It's my senior year so it's the
last time
I'll
be able to do it with
my college buddies," Villafane
said.
Cancun is a hot spot for many
college students.
Both Jennifer Benoit and
Michelle Bourque have gone to
Cancun on last year's
:spring
break.
-.. , .
''We really had a great time. We
would have gone back there
again this year, but we wanted to
try
something differen~" Benoit said.
This year, the two housemates
are planning a .trip to Daytona,
Florida.
"Daytona has always had such
a reputation for spring break,"
Bourque said, "we just wanted
to see what it was all about."
Benoit and Bourque are driv-
ing down to Florida to try to save
some money.
"It was so expensive last year,
with the airfare and hotel rooms,"
Bourque said.
"We just decided it would be
better to save money and drive
down. The hotel room is also re-
ally cheap, so we'll have more
moriey to do more things down
there."'
Many students are being more
cost conscious this year.
. Senior Beth Dooley also de-
cided to drive to Daytona rather
than go on a cruise with some
friends.
''The trip to Daytona is the
cheapest spring break trip I could
find. Some of my other friends
are going on a cruise, but it was
too expensive for me."
"I only really want to lie on the
beach, get very, very tan, meet
new people and hang out with
my friends. You don't need a lot
of money to do that," Dooley
said.
Last year, Dooley spent her
vacation on South Padre Island
in Texas where she met a Jot of
new people, some of whom she
still keeps in touch with.'
"i
still talk to someone from last
year's spring break," Dooley
said, "but there was no romance
involved."
·
San Diego, California is the
spring break choice of senior
Blythe ·Mausolf.
"I'm going to visit my best
friend and I wanted to really get
a feel for the place since I'll be
moving there after graduation,"
Mausolf said.
Not only will Mausolf be sun-
ning herself in San Diego, she will
also have the opportunity to visit
Tijuana, Mexico.
"Tijuana is practically next door
so we'll
be
going there," Mausolf
said. ''They have a lot of clubs
that cater to young Americans.
You never have to get up and get
a drink yourself the way you do
here. The waiters and waitresses
are very attentive.
"We're also planning on rent-
ing a convertible and driving
along the coast to Palm Springs
for a day or two."
Cappucino's also has an exten-
sive listing of pasta choices rang-
ing from Spaghetti with Tomato
Sauce ($4.95) to Pasta Santa Fe
· ($9.50) which is sun-dried toma-
toes, fresh button: mushrooms
and chunk~ of chicken in
a
creamy amareuo laced alfredo
sauce and serve over imported
fettuccine.
I decided to try something from
the grill and ordered a Sirloin
Steak ($11.95), a three-quarter
pound grade A choice sirloin
smothered with sauted mush-
rooms.
I had no problem noticing that
although I had order it medium
rare there was very little pink left
in the meat and
it
was over-
cooked.
My Valentine was a bit more
pleased with her Chicken
Scalopini Ala Marsala ($9 .95), so
the dinner was not a complete
failure.
I was extremely disappointed
with my Steak and maybe had the
light not been so bright I would
never have noticed it was over-
cooked.
I don't want to sound as though
I am obsessing about the light,
but it pretty much dominated the
meal.
Panel stresses need to report sexual assaults
by
TIM MANSON
Staff Writer
Students packed the Perform-
ing Arts Center last Monday
night for a seminar about what
to do if they are ever sexually as-
saulted.
The seminar, conducted by a
"support system" panel consist-
ing of Marist security, city and
town of Poughkeepsie police of-
ficers, and the district attorney,
was a follow-up to one that took
place in November.
The panel stressed the need for
the reporting sexual assaults.
Only 16 percent of all rapes are
ever reported.
Sophomore Melissa Ruot, who
attended the seminar, said soci-
ety often makes the victim look
like the bad person.
''That's why so many women
are afraid to report incidents of
rape," she said.
Despite how people may feel
after a sexual assault, the panel-
ists stressed that victims must
not shower or throw away their
clothes or sheets. They said this
is the only true evidence police
have in a sexual assault case.
After everyone from the panel
spoke, a question and answer
period followed.
One student repeatedly asked
why the topic of women falsely
accusing men of rape was not
brought up. The panelists said
that although this does happen,
only two percent of all reported
cases tum out to be false.

Two weeks ago, during

in Dyson~ it took the
fire company about
a
minute and a half just to
dci:ve
from
the main entrance to the side of Dyson because of the five
speed bumps the driver had to conquer before reaching the
academic building.
If there were actually a life-threatening situation, 90 sec-
onds can easily niean the difference between safety and.
serious injury, or worse yet, death.
·
·
. There are plenty of other areas around the college where
the speed bumps are more.reasonable sizes.

three
by the old townhouses need to
be

safety
of
both

Letters to the Editor

S~op

ignorance, ope~- your .mirid
Ediror..
.
·
Of all the vast literary works in the Marist College Library, we find
it am~ing some chose to write their own. "Die faggot, die" is not the
.
only ignorant gi:3ffiti found on campus. But we suppose there is
more than one ignorant human being among us
.
In yet another
.
building, the phrase
!
'No faggots
·
allowed" can
be
found scrawled on
·
a
restroom wall. In respo1_1se ~o a prior message quoting Cyndi Lauper,

to~k it upon themself to further deface college property by
· wntmg 'This quote was written by one of the many gay men who
.
help make Marist CoUegethe gay asylum it is."
.
·
.
. We wish to
_
bring to the attention of all students, faculty
,
and staff
. the obvious ignorance and stupidity of many of the people we must
associate with on a daily
_
basis. In a respectable and distinguished
educa~ion~ i~stitution ~uch as ~arist, most would expect anything
b~t this childish behavmr. Manst College is not grade school nor
high school. It would seem that anything other than adult-like be-
havior would be intolerable,
.
but we suppose we could be wrong
.
Perhaps;
.
children do attend Marist, for it seenis so after such a de-
grading, ignorantand vulgar
.
display
.
·
Not only
_
are these individuals defacing private property, but they
are defacing a civilized human race to which they belong
.
We thought
such shallow behavior was behind us, lost in the maturing proces
s
,
but obviously not. Maybe those who write such ignorant messages
are trying to promote their child-like attitudes.
.
This behavior does go to show one thing, though.
It
shows that
the "faggots" they write about are not only better than they, but far
more cultured than such bigots. Perhaps, the ignorant only set out
to attack homosexuals, but you cannot contain and categorize igno
-
rance
;
Not only do we see an attack on gays and lesbians, but an
.
;issault on all races, religions, sexes, minorities, etc.
The world is changing, and in such a world, there is no room for
.
-
bigotry, only room for equality. There will always be races, religions,
·
min_orities, and sexes different from one another, despite how hard
the ignorant promote their racial messages, and people will continue
·
to fight back. Unfortunately, there will always be ignorance and
racism; although there does not have to be. The first step is to open
ignorant eyes, and to educate. Without the education, ignorance
will continue. Therefore, the ignorant need to learn,
and
what better
place to
_
learn
·
than at college?
_
Our warning:
_
It is easier to accept than attack. One day, the igno
-
rant may attack the wrong person
.
Only then will they regret such
crude arid coarse behavior.

Library hours are too limited
.
F.ditor:
.
.
.
.
.
As concerned members of the senior class, we feel obligated to
address the problem of inadequate library hours. Currently, the Mari st
CollegeLibrary hours are too limited.
As
a result students do not
have access to the materials and space necessary for study at a
convienent time.
·
.
·
Stude
_
nts library hours should encourage st~dents to spend qual
-
ity time during the weekend (when most student schedules· are less
_
hectic) in the library
.
As they stand, the hours restrict the students
'
choice to study at free will
.
The library is not only a place where students can access books
and other research materials, but is also a refuge for study away from
crowded living environments both on and off campus. Perhaps, the
library should be open during the week until 2 a.m. and on Friday and
Saturday nights until midnight, in order to better facilitate student
.
academic needs.
Extended library hours would benefit all members of the Marist
comm~nity. We realize that all requests cannot be granted, however,
we feel that the
library
hours should be given jmrnediate consider-
ation
·
by administrators, faculty and students.

Kids'
Day
Out clinic a success
Ediror:
On February 18, the Marist Red Foxes and the Office of Special
Services hosted the Sixth Annual "Kids' Day Out" basketball clinic
to benefit the Scholarship for Students with Disabilities. The staff of
the Office of Special Services would like to thank the members of the
Red Foxes basketball teams who participated; including, Stacey
Dengler, Darrah Metz,
Jill
Heller, Kimberly Horwath, Alan Tomidy,
Kareem Hill, Danny Basile, Chris Grill, Randy Encarnacion and Tomer
Kami, as well as members of the Red Foxes staff, Pam Dezago, Ken
Babi11.eau and Kevin Shennan, who helped to organize and run the
event. Thanks to the effort and support of these individuals, the
Office of Special Services was able to host approximately 80 partici-
pants and raise over $800 for the scholarship fund.

Be prepared to

a
quick
trip through this store because
.
Anyone looking for a different
type of
.
shopping expedition
should take a trip back to the
times of peace, love and beil-bot-
toms in Woodstock.
With the name Woodstock,
one generally visualizes the
fa-
mous concert held in a field in
1969.
While the field itselfis nothing
to look at, the town of
Woodstock boasts of unusual
stores, good food and very
friendly people.
.
Most of the shops in the town
carry
the typical items associated
with
the
1960's: tie dyes, peace
symbols and jewelry.
Modem Mythology, located in
the center of town had an un-
usual mosaic peace sculpture out
front.
·
Inside, they carried the usual
items of candles
and
incense,
as
well as a large collection of
cherub figurines, wall hangings
and picture frames.
While the store itselfis not very
big, it is
packed with
gifts
to
look
aL
.
·
the incense really is overwhelm-
ing.
.
The Golden Notebook and The
Golden Bough
are
next door to
each other, up the street from the
other stores.
The Golden Notebook carries
a wide selection of books, espe-
cially nonfiction. The topics
range from· nature to business.
There is also a separate store
just for children's books which
carries a lot of old favorites as
well as new.
All the salespeople seemed
knowledgeable about various
authors and their works.
The Golden Bough carries
a
very different selection from most
of the other gift shops in
Woodstock.
They have
an
unique collec-
tion of gift cards for all occasions.
Also, they have a large assort-
ment of board games to choose
from.
The ultimate gift this store
holds, however, is for puizle lov-
ers.
It is
a
7500 piece puzzle of
the New York
_
skyline.
The best store Woodstock has
to
offer
is
Just Alan. At th
_
e very
least, it should win the "Friendli-
·
est
Proprietor" award;
·
Alan,
_
the
owner, introduces himself as:_ihe
·
town magician and
will
gladly put
on a small
perf
omiarice.
Among the n1any items in the
store~ are magic tricks for~ ages.
·
•Also,
there
are
antiques.jewelry,
books and cigars.
Just Alan's also has wonderful
cappucino
and
fresh
·
chocolates
that are to die for
..
One other item that deserves
mei;itioning is the '.Zen meditation
fountain below the floor in one
of the rooms.
If
one looks through a grate in
the
floor,
he looks down upon an
attractive fountain in
a
very
pretty setting. It's very unusual.
Before leaving Woodstock, ev-
eryone should drive by the Ti-
betan monastery.
The monastery is located at the
top of a mountain about three
miles away from the center of
town.
There's a little
road
that
goes
right at the top of the hill off Rt.
212.
Just follow it.
ALL
the way
to the top.
To find Woodstock: Take the

Thruway North to Route
32.
Follow 32 west to Route

leads right
into
the heart of
Woodstock.

CDs span from rap to Morrissey
by
Scott Wyman
Music Review
It's a few short hours before
deadline, and it would seem that
now is as good a time as any to
discuss exactly what CD's have
been getting played most often
inmyroom.
They have been elevated past
the masses of crap that I
am
of-
ten subjected to hearing.
First off, the best rap/R n' B al-
bum I've heard
in
quite some
time
has to be the latest from the
Pharcyde,entitJed
"Labc.1bincalifornia."
·
I've been
a
big fan of the
Pharcyde ever since they broke
onto the scene a few years back
·
with one of my favorite rap
singles.
"Passin' Me
By''
was from their
auspicious debut record "Bizarre
Ride To The Pharcyde."
.
What sets the Pharcyde apart
from the rest of
the
rap crowd is
their ability to avoid the preten-
tious "I'm tougher than you"
posturing that so Jl_lany artists
use
as
a
staple to their
lyrical
diet
It may be quite
rare
in todays
rap
industry
·
but
"Labcabincalifornia" relies on
sounds, beats and melodies
rather
than
lyrics to get the mood
across to the ears of the listen-

Th~ focµs is on the music, and the mu-
sic alone.. , -
. ·
.
This adventurous leap into a non-tradi-•
tional sound shows real sp~it and smarts.
For
t_hi$
alone you should give this
record a listen. If you doubt me, hit the
"advance" button on your CD player four
times: to the tune "Runnin' ." -
' This is one of the most addictive tunes
I;ve heard since '.'Passin' Me
By:• and this
alone should be enough to turn· you on to
the groove of the Pharcyde.
... And now for something completely dif-
ferent..:
·
The-name of the band is·copper, and-
this.band is also doing it's very own thing.
The record is calied ''Drag: Queen" and
is on New York's own Equal Vision
Records.
EVR traditionally puts out hard-core re-
leases, so Copper is even more of a head-
scratcher, but !,mowing -the ·background
of the label is a good place to start.
· first off,ttie nine song "Drag Queen"
is
melodic, as in it's easy to pick up the gen-
eral groove of each song and of the band
itself.
It's also about two-thirds loud, and one:.
third quiet, with guitars and drums doing
some of both in each song.
And, the most important ingredient to
· this musical bouillabaisse, is the lead
singer, who happens to be a very talented
women with a great voice.
The best way to explain the music is to
say what it is not. It's not "heavy-metal,"
but it often times has loud guitars.
bilities of Letters To Cleo, and don't for-
get the hard-core punk influences.
, , Dare I say a female version of Quick-
sand?
.
Overall, Coopers' "Drag Queen" is
full
of angst _and anger, but the unusual vo-
cals put kind of a sickly-sweet spin on the
songs and lyrics.
I have to admit, hearing a women sing
of pain and regret has a much different
affect on me than when some stupid guy
tries the same thing.
Also any of you Morrissey fans out
.
there, Copper does a really cool version
of "There's a place in h_ell ... " that almost
makes me feel bad for hating Morrissey
for all these years.
Put this ,together with a great u11listed
track that is hidden at the very end of the
CD, and you've got a really interesting
package.
Another CD that has been emanating
from my room quite often recently is the
soundtrack to independant film The Broth-
ers McMullen.
The.Brothers McMullen soundtrack is
almost waHto wall traditional and pseudo-
traditional Irish folk music arrangements.
Tracks two through twelve is music per-
formed and arranged by Seamus Egan,
who puts real life and feeling into these
songs.
·
The one track from this CD that Egan
isn't responsible for is the opening track,
entitled "I Will Remember You (theme
from the Brothers McMullen)" performed
by none other than Sarah McLachlan.

E Editor
There.are countless flashy, big-
budget movies out there these
days that all sound the same. · · ·
. And as a general rule, the
~x-:·
castmates of SNL must stop
making movies:
.
(Tommy Boy, Billy Madison;
It's Pat, Stuart Saves His Family,
Black Sheep, Happy Gillmore). -
Enough! How many times have
· you left
a
movie theater saying,
"God, l
spent
$7 .50
on that movie
and it wasn't even that good."
Hey, you could've had a V-8,
and some change to spare.
But, if you look hard enough,
past all those tiresome movies
with all those false, happy-
crappy Hollywood endings, you
might find a film worth your
money.
Leaving Las Vegas is that film.
It's all about a man who has had
it with life, and one day decides
to end it.
·
He empties his bank account
and drives to
Las
Vegas with the
sole intent of drinking himself to
death.
Actor Nicholas.Cage brings the
character of Ben Sanderson to
life in the face of death, showing
the freedom and joy Ben finds at
last by acknowledging there. is
nothing left to his life.
It sounds like an oxymoron, but
once Ben decides to die, he is
free from all the baggage life hung
around his neck.
Barely. able to stand up
straight, Ben gives lopsided
grins and jaunty comments, smil-
ing cheerfully atthe horrified ex-
pressions on the faces df those
who encounter him.
·
On the first night of his drink-
ing spree in Las Vegas, Ben hap-
. pens across Sera, a hard-eyed
hooker played brilliantly by·
. Elisabeth Shue.
Sera is initially uninterested in
Ben; it is only the size of his wal-
letthat convinces her to give him
a chance.
.
He takes her back to his room,
pays her $500, and begs her to
talk, or listen, but please, stay the
night.
And they stay that way, sleep~
ing peacefully through the night.
·And as the nights go on this
way, they realize they need each
other.
Ben and Sera have a mutual
agreement.
He never questions her line of
work, and she promises never,
ever to try and save him.
It is this plea for acceptance
that keeps them together.
They are not asking for forgive-
ness, only a bit of understand-
ing.
Director Mike Figgis•knew he
was taking a chance with this
film.
'

The offer came after the Marist

Cyli~da Rickert,,president of

when
she performed with the Hudson

thrilled to do it again.
"I've known her for quite

I knew that she had a
fabulous career in Europe," said
Rickert, "I'm excited to work with

in the post. She highlighted a 24

plateau.

exactly four years to the day from
when she reached that mark
as
a
high schooler (February 18, 1992/
February 17, 1996). She now has
1,010.
"The guards made it easy for
me," Dengler said
.
"I've got to
gjve credit to them and my team-
mates for the help.
"
And unfortunately for St.

Jean-Marie Lesko's eyes got
brighter
as
she leaned behind the
three-point line.
Lesko torched the Terrier nets
by nailing six of nine triples on
the night to finish with 21 points.
The Red Foxes play their last
regular season game at home to-
night against Fairleigh Dickinson
before the conference tourna-
ment gets under way March 2nd.

vance past ihe local track scene.
While none of Marist's runners
had a chance to"reach the next

provided·an extra week ofcom-

put their eighth place NEC finish

On February

and

the
men's indoor track team com-
peted in the Northeast Confer-
. ence championship meet.
Hosted by Fairfield Dickinson
University in Teaneck, New
Jer-
sey, the Red Foxes met their con-.
ference opponents: Mount St.
Mary's, Monmouth, FDU, Rider,
Wagner, Robert Morris, Long
Is-
land, St. Francis(N.Y.) and St.
Francis(Pa.).
.
The Red Foxes went into the
meet setting individual goals
rather than· anticipating :a teain
contention.·
·
. On Satm:day, junior Pat Casey
ran a time of9:07 .5 to finish ninth
in the 3000 meter.
Casey also ran anchor leg in
Sunday's distance relay medley
which placed fifth with
a
time of
I 0:55.6. The team was comprised
of John Lasker, Eric Deshaies,
and Eric Bergmann. Deshaies,
who also ran the 55 meter high
hurdles, replaced Chuck
Williams
· who could ·not compete due to
illness.·
·
Head coach Pete Colaizzo was
pleased with the all-around per-
formance by the team.
"Eric (Deshaies) ran the four
hundred, and he performed ad-
mirably. It wasn't our best team
out there, but it was the best for
the team that raced," Colaizzo
