Russia's beleaguered space. scientists
tried to pinpointwhatwent wrong and
cqnceded Monday they do not have the
money for another
try.
Space officials could not say precisely
what caused the collapse of Mars
'96,
which came crashing down in several
parts somewhere near Easter Island.
The spacecraft, designed to reach
Mars next September, never made it out
of Earth's orbit after the rocket's fourth-
stage engine failed to provide enough
speed.
Yuri Milov, deputy directory of the
Russian Space Agency, said at a news
conference the failure has set back the
space program.
"It has hit the whole space program
hard," he said. "We don't plan any other
mission of the kind."
·
The Russians gambled a large chunk
of their meager resources on Mars
'96.
With its failure, there is no prospect of
any major new missions in the foresee-
able future.
Milov said the Russians would coop-
erate on Mars researchwith the United
States, which plans lOniissioits to the

A few weeks ago, an off-campus house
on Academy Street where three Marist
female students lived burned down due
to an electrical fire.
Jim Raimo, director of housing and
residential life, saiq the housing depart-
ment wanted to take iDlIIiediate action.
"We like to reach out to different
people," he said. "One of the biggest
concerns was clothing."
The housing office notified Red Cross,
and the students were given vouchers
for clothes.
Th~ Marist bookstore also helped by
giving books for them because their
school books were lost i_n the fire.
Along with faculty, students are
helping out.
The eighth _
and ninth floors of
Champagnat collected sheets and
other bed materials, · while the
Townhouses and Gartland Commons
are collecting pots, pans, and other
kitchen utensils.
The students had the option
of
re-
turning to campus, but they said they
still wanted to stay more independent.
According to housing, there are
spaces open in Champagnat, as well
as Gartlan~, if they chose to return to
campus.

·
One communications· course took advan-
tage: of the 1996 election year by bringing
.
the
·
world of
real-life
radio production into
the
.
classroom.
·
· On this election day, students in the Radio
Ne.ws course created a simulated news room,
where they produced and aired live news-
casts of election results.
·
Caroi
·
Pauli, assistant professor of broad-
casting journalism and instructor of the
course, said.the classroom exercise had the
elements ofareal radio newscast.
"Every hour,
•
the class produced a
~O
minute newscast, and we had a wire service
bringing in election results," said Pauli.
Pauli
_
's students used the journalism
AP
wire and reports from students out in the
field to get the results of local and national
elections.
Pauli said she was pleased with the seri-
ousness the students brought
to
the project.
"The students really did quite a good job/'
said Pauli. "I hope they had a taste of what
an election night feels
like."
Before election night, all class assignments
centered on national and local elections.
·
Students interviewed local political persons
such
as
Sue
·
Kelly and
Pat
Manning.
Senior Willow Lanpher said she and her
partner had been in contact with Manning
for three
w~~
prior to the election and were
at his
·
campaign
-
headquarters in Hopewell
Junction dt1ring the
.
newscast.
·
"He invited us to be there and when we
got there, his media consulw,tt \cnew us by
name," said Lanpher. ''They were real re-
ceptive to us knowing it
\V3SJ~
1earning
ex-
perience."
Lanpher said they called the news
room every other hour and reported who
was at their post and election returns.
"Basically, we were field
.
eyes
·
and
ears,'' said Lanpher. "It was a lot of fun
and exciting to be part of the election
like that."
In the news room, the students worked
,.
in shifts, rotating between news stories,
producing and anchoring the stories,
and technical work.
Pauli, an assistant professor of broad-
.
casting, said the news room was v·ery
active and there was a healthy amount
of stress.
"There was never
a
dull moment when
you didn't have something to do to help
· each other out," Pauli said. "There were
moments of stress, but for the most part,
it was fun."
·
·
Kerry Peterson, a junior who was 'in-
·
house,' said the class got to see a
broadcast come together by working as
a team.
"It
was exciting and almost chaotic at
the same time," said Peterson. "We, as
a class, were in control. We actually
did
the entire broadcast."
Each newscast was uploaded onto the
Internet
as
a
sound file. The newscasts
can be found under "What's New" in
the Marist Country website.
Senior Jackie Darragh, who was also
in the news room, said the project was
worth-while.
"It was a simulated exercise for class,
but at the same time it wasn't.
It
was
a
real life
experience," Darragh said. "Ev-
eryone was just as serio_us and every
·
time we said we were going to
air,
we
went
to
air."

"I live on Taylor Avenue and there are
no parties," she said.
.
Raimo said he agreed that the problems
are very infre<iuent.
''The
complaints are a couple every other
weekend," he said.
Amato estimated that of all the students
that have lived off campus, maybe eight
percent have gotten into trouble. He also
said the probl~ms can be avoided if people
.
use common sense. Students he has spo-
ken with said they would not exhibit this
behavior in other circumstances.
"One hundred percent agreed they
would not do this behavior in their own
home," he said.

Sophia
Papakonstantis,
a
se-
nior puhlic relations
major
in
McKenzie's class, said McKenzie
_
sparked the research
-
on olestra.
"The taste test arose because
McKenzie had become interested
in olestra,
arid
the class acted as
an
advertising
agency,"
Papakonstantis added.
Papakonstantis said the class
decided on
·
the
_
questions that
would
be
used in the taste test
surveys, the pepple involved,
and where it would be held.
According to Papakonstantis
the
·
main purpose of the taste
test was to see if people could
tell the difference between the
regular and the fat-free Pringles,
and whether the
.
warning label
would have any effect on people
purchasing the product.
Papakonstantis said the notion
for the taste test project came
from McKenzie. The class took
over from there:
·
"It was his premise, his idea,
and we snowballed from there,"
Papakonstantis said.
McKenzie said he first learned
about olestra last semester. His
public relations writing class did
research on the :Substance.
"We found that olestra was so
beaten up by the media,"
McKenzie said.
McKenzie added that it is good
to see what needs to be done to
advertise olestra. ·
"Only two percent have ad-
verse effects," McKenzie said.
McKenzie said he was im-
pressed by the way his class
handled the taste test.
"They were very enthusiastic,
cooperative, and got approval
from
the
college to do the test-
ing. The students also did the
videotaping of the focus group
and made up the questionnaire,"
McKenzie added
.
According to McKenzie, ap~
proximately
·
102 students filled
out the questionnaires at the
taste test. The focus group that
took place after the taste test, and
consisted of nine students, had
about the same results as the
taste test participants.
According to Papakonstantis,
neither the people in the focus
group nor the participants in the
taste test could tell the difference
between the regular and fat-free
Pringles, and the warning label
did not affect most of the partici-
pants.
.
McKenzie said he was pleased
with the way the taste test went.
''The taste test was designed
to introduce a new controversial
product, to get greater exposure
for students at Marist, and to do
a taste test on this product be-
fore
it reaches the national level,"
McKenzie
said.

the application process once.
Grad school applications usually
require at least two letters of ref-

Talk
to faculty members
who know you well, (and if they
like you too, that always helps).
And ask for them early-don't
stalk your teachers for reference
letters two days before the dead-
line.
There are many graduate
school exams out there-the
trick is finding the right one for
you. Here's a quick rundown:

the right one, and take it early
enough so the scores meet the
deadline for the application. You
don't want to spend three weeks
cramming for your LSAT, only
to realize that your application is
due the day before the exam.

Personally, I have f?und the weekend hours to
be
pitiful. I am a commuter a commuter,
and the hours on Fnday and Saturday are not conducive to most people's schedules.
The last class is at 4:45 and the library closes at 6:00. This leaves only an hour and
fifteen minutes to study. Many people use weekends to catch up on work, not just to
party.
I am disturbed by the fact that the administration
seems
to feel we as students are
not

interested in using academic resources on weekends. I am upset that priorities are
distorted and academics are put to the side and on the back burner until the
year 1999.
I am glad that we can exercise our thighs and upper

but not our mental skills, on
the weekend.

bodied er~ature is something to
.see.
A11yuay,
the song from the
video
turns
out to. be the first
song
un the
album (what a coin-
ciden~·('
J.
It
starts
with this per-
cussion type thing and then
move~ imo the tightly packed
sound 1h:11 Tool is known for.
Oddly enough, that trademark
Tool sound isn't easy to find on
AE11inu,.
Tlw
:-.ongs have a more artsy
feel tu 1hcm with
a
lot of vocal
and
s,
11111d
effects being used.
One avid fan of rock and roll
music, Eric
B.
Peterson, said the
vocal effects sounded awful.
I
definitely agree with him.
Why these people with good
singing voices choose to sing
through distortion pedals is be.:
yondme.
. Sure~ litt~e bit of an effect here
or ~here is cool, but when itis
used throughout an entire song,
it is overkill. ·
Another aspect of this record
that is confusing is the abun-
dance ofinstrumental tracks.
They are not even your tradi-
tional instrumentals, but weird
thematic pieces.
AEnima
is divided in half by an
intermission. It's a real drcus
music thing.
For some reason,
I
like the idea
of having an intermission on a
CD.
I
am not exactly sure what
that reason is though.
The other instrumentals are
spoken word pieces placed over
piano music. One of them is in
German and the other is in En-
glish, but spoken with
a
German
accent. I do not know what they
are about, but Jhey sound good.
Once again, Tool has placed a
great deal of attention on the way
that their album is packaged.
The ''magic motion" cover pro-
vides a much needed break from
the monotony of .the standard
jewel case packaging. When you
open up the rest of the
CD
book-
let, there are three other "magic
motion" pictures that really bring
the spirit of Tool to life.
Overall, this albu~ is pretty
powerful.
There seems to be a common
theme that runs through all of the
songs on the album, which makes
it hard to listen to just one. Great
concept albums, like Alice
Cooper's
Welcome
to
my Night-
mare,
seem to have died in the
seventies.
Though there have been some
attempts made between then and
now, most have failed.
Though Tool's
AEnima
might
not be a full-fledged concept al-
bum, it does have the feel of one.
But unlike its post-
l
970's coun-
terparts, it is good.
They were a little bit too 90's for.
Ire.
I grew up with Bugs and Daffy
and Elmer Fudd, but more impor-
tantly
I
also grew up with Mel
Blanc and Chuck Jones.
Without those two, some of the
magic is gone.
It is a lot like watching the
Muppets without Jim Henson,
now Kermit is just a green thing
with a guys hand up his back,
but
I
digress.
However
I
was thrilled to see a
cameo appearance by Gossamer,
that big, orange, hairy thing that
chased Bugs all over the place,
I
like him a lot.
As for the special effects and
the animation, they are unbeliev-
able.
Warner Brothers had over
1,000 animators, spanning 2 con-
tinents all working together on
the cells for this movie.
They used state of the art digi-
talization programs to work the
human actors in with the ani-
mated characters, and it is done
almost seamlessly.
The people and the cartoons
interact so naturally that you re-
ally do forget that it was all done
in post-production, or at least
I
did.
When it all comes down to it
though, there was something
missing.
They had a great mix of actors,
athletes and animators but they
didn't all fit together.
Somethingjust wasn't right.
Maybe it was the absence of
Jones and Blanc, maybe it was
the fact that Ewing, Bradley and
Johnson have no place on a
movie screen, never mind
Michael Jordan.
Or maybe it was just too much
hype.
Overall,
I
would have to say
that Space Jam is worth seeing,
just go with some good friends
and enjoy the ride.
It's a pretty good one.

the halls while I was working today.
In fact, I damn near
.
called every-
one I knew. Well, almost.
When
I asked my housemates,
they responded with a plethora of
answers.
Jacque Simpson chose "When
Harry Met Sally" as her stranded-
on-the-island movie, because she
has a deep love for Harry Connick
Jr.
Cindy Mata went back and forth
with her answer, but finally settled
on "Singles."
And my roommate, Josie, (also
known
as
The Food Babe), cursed
me to hell for not allowing her to
bring
3
videos with her, but nar-
rowed her choice down to "The
Fisher King," just as I knew she
would.
Roommates, you know? It's kinda
like a good melon, yes?
Alas, but I digress. Back to the
topic at hand.
Many people found my innocent
little question highly troubling; my
friend Mike D. actually had to "sleep
on it", and it took him a whole day
to come up with his answer, "Glory."
His roommate, my friend Charlie
said, "Casablanca."
I tried to find a wide spectrum of
people to fire my question upon.
Bob Lynch, director of college
activities replied, "It's a Wonder-
ful
Life, though I've never actu-
ally seen.it
all
the way through."
Other answers trickled in
throughout the day-"The
American President" (Erik
Molinaro and Frank Maduri,
which didn't really surprise me),
."The Shawshank
_Redemption"
(Clifden Kennedy, but I already
knew this), and ''The Usual Sus-
pects"
(Al
Tejada).
·
I
asked Todd Stallkamp, but he
never got back to me, so I as-
sume it's "Ishtar." (right?!)
My fell()W Movie Reviewer
Brian Hill and Video Guy Jim
Dziezynski both answered em-
phaticaJly, "Cabin Boy!"
And I put my hands over my
face in despair.
There were a couple overlap-
ping answers, like "Braveheart",
"Dead Poets Society," "A Few
·
Good Men," and the Star Wars
Trilogy.
The original "Star Wars" was
mentioned by Kent Rinehart,
·
"The Empire Strikes Back" was
Carl Graf's pick, and "Return of
the Jedi" was Todd Lang's.
The message here is clear:
Boys Love Luke Skywalker.
My frien~ Chris ~aline
.
chose
"Big" which is so very; his room-
mate Chris Merrow's reply-
"Major League."
I advised him to think about it
some more-I mean, could you
handle Charlie Sheen for the rest
of your life?
Greg Ferrao answered with an
equally disturbing answer:
"North Shore." To this,
I
had no
reply, except for a pie~: Greg,
think about this. Please.
I asked juniors Chris Smith,
Matt Cassidy, Patt Holden, and
Dave Czesniuk.
Chris said ''Top Gun". Matt's
pick
is
"Planes, Trains, and Au-
tomobiles."
·
Dave
·
chose
"Batm
·
an"-the first one. And Pat
announced, "anything porno."
.
So typical of guys, you know?
I also put the question to my
friends Sue Frost, Kristen
Froliger, and Biz Mulu.
Sue instantJy said, "Steel Mag-
nolias." I knew Kristen would
say '!Heathers", because she
knows thatinovie by heart-ev-
ery line,! tell you.
And Biz didn't have an answer,
but asked me if there was a movie
called, "'fop Ten Ttps for Surviv-
ing
.
~y
Yourself on an Island."
(Nice answer, Smartypants!)
Finally; I asked Kristin Richard,
the editor-in-chief of the paper.
And, I bet you are an wonder-
ing what I would choose. Well,
even
·
if you're not, I'll tell you
anyway.
.
.
.
It took
a
long
-
time to come up
with an answer, because
I
was
tom between a few clioices.
But, my final decision would
be "Say Anything.''
I love this movie for so many
reasons. As soon
as
I
saw it the
first time,
I
wanted to marry
Lloyd Dobler. He was, and still

And, guys and girls alike, re-
member the heartache you felt
when Lloyd is in the phone
booth, in the rain, and he utters
the movie's classic line-"I gave
her my heart, and she gave me a

.
"
,
-_
Do you remember that feeling?
Have you ever experienced that
kindofpain? Ofcourse. Wean
can relate to Lloyd. Well, at least
lean.
And that's why I will always
love
this movie.

This is a very good
choice
;

Volleyball loses two straight in NEC tourney -
by
THOMAS RYAN
Staff Writer
The women's volleyball team's
season ended on Saturday
with
two losses in the Northeast Con-
ference Tournament at St.
Francis, PA. Marist won their first
gaine of the tournament against
the Long Island University
Blackbirds, their second win over
LIU in five days, but then con-
~ecuti ve _losses to Fairleigh
Dickinson and Rider dropped
Marist from the seven team,
double elimination tournament.
LIU, which fell to the Red Foxes
15-12, 15-6, 15-9 earlier in the
week, appeared to have revenge
on their minds posting two15-9
·
wins in the first two games of the
opening round match. Led by
Mary Beth Horman 's 17 kills and
Ellie Schuerger's 52 assists,
Marist rebounded to win the next
three
games 15-5, 15-12, and 15-9
to advance to the winner's
bracket. Heather Vir and Tara
Damarau each had 11 kills for
Marist.
Awaiting the fourth seeded
Red Foxes in the second round
'was FDU, who Marist had de-
feated 15-7, 15-17, 15-8, 14-16, 15-
13 earlier in the season. This time .
revenge was gained against the
Red Foxes, despite 16 more kills
from Horman and six aces from
freshman Jennifer Parker, as FDU

PHILLIP WmTE
Staff Writer
The ECAC Regional ended a
dissatisfying and injured filled
season for the girls cross-coun-
try team. Despite the Red Foxes
performance, the meet did have
few personal achievements for
the Red Foxes.
·
"We had a very disappointing
meet, but there were a few indi-
vidual high points," coach Philip
Kelly
said.
The highlights of the meet came
from the entire team. Kathleen
Woodson, one the graduating
seniors for the Red Foxes fin-
ished 21st out of 180 runners.
Woodson, finished with a per-
sonal best time of 18:49. The
other members of the team were
Karen Donahue, Debra Flanigan,
Merideth Halstead, Karen
won a highly competitive match-
up, 16-14, 15~11. 11-15, 16-14.
Stephanie Schmidt led FDU with
18 kills while Elizabeth Aiken net-
ted
35
assists.
Liz Herzner, disappointed by
the loss to FDU, said she feit the
Red Foxes could have gone far-
ther in the tournament.
" I
definitely think we could
have gone a game or two farther
in the tournament," the co-cap-
tain said. "Every game against
FDU was close throughout but
we just couldn't pull out.the win.
It
was especially disappointing
because we had beaten them ear-
lier in the season."
Marise third match forced them
to play Rider, the defending NEC
champions and the owners of a
15-8, 15-11, 10--15, l5-13winover
the Red Foxes during the regular
.season. Surprisingly, however,
Marist coasted to an easy 15-6
victory in game one. Rider came
back to win a tough 15-13 deci-
sion before earning two easier
victories, 15-5 and 15-2. Horman
had
13
kills and feHow co-cap-
tain Liz Herzner had three aces.
Although the Red Foxes team
goal of winning the NEC tourna-
ment was not realized, at least one
individual goal was, as Horman
was named first team all-NEC.

They all finished with a time in
the early twenties. Even with
these accomplishments, the Red
Foxes 19th out of
33
teams.
Marist did show potential to be
. an aggressive competitor be-
cause the Red Foxes formed into
a pack. But they formed it at a
late point of the race and this dra-
matically hun Marist. This has
been a constant problem that
Kelly and his team has been
try-
ing to solve for the entire sea-
son.
"By the time we had made a
pack the other teams were a
minute and a half ahead of us,
and it was to late too catch them,"
Kelly
said.
Kelly said that the
team
looked
like a competitive contender for

four of the conference), led the
team in kills and finished fifth in
the conference with a .276 kill
percentage. Horman also fin-
ished fifth in the NEC in blocks,
with an average of0.80 per game.
Despite her individual success,
Horman would not put the selec-
tion on the same level with a team
oriented goal.
"It
was a great honor to be
named all-conference, especially
since it was one of my pre-sea-
son goals to be named all-NEC,
but I definitely put anything to
do with the team ahead of what I
do individually," Horman said.
Marist may not have finished
their last NEC season ever as well
as
they thought they would in
the beginning of September, but
the Red Foxes did equal their win
total from a year ago, in seven
less games. ·They also have a
solid nucleus of underclassman
who Horman feels are ready for
the Metro Atlantic Athletic Con-
ference, where the Red Foxes
begin play next year.
"It's probably going to be
tough for them next year because
they'll be very young and the
competition will be tougher,"
Horman said. "But, in two or
three years they'll have a very
good team who will be very com-
petitive in the new conference."
the ECAC Regional in practice.
But the Red Foxes did not stand
up to their expectations when
they got to the meet. Also, Kelly
and the team noticed tliat they
performed the exact same way at
the ECAC Regional as they did
at the NEC Championship where
the Red Foxes placed fourth out
of ten teams.
"We just didn't do that well at
these past two meets," junior
Kerri Ann Redmond said. "Our
high point of the season was the
Bowdoin
and
Fairfield
Invitationals."
This season for Marist was con-
sidered to be spotty according
to Kelly. Also, Kelly said he feels
that this season was inconsis-
tent. The reason why Kelly feels
this way about this season is that
