·
·
"The
housing will
'
be
located
on West Cedar and Washing-
ton at the old Hamilton Produc
~
tion site across from the K&D
Deli," he said. 'The housing
will be styled after the current
new townhouses that are lo-
cate_d on campus;"
.
Once the building plans are
.
.
approved, construction can be-
gin on the first set of houses
that will hold 254 students. This
first set of housing is scheduled
to
be complete by next Septem-
ber. Additionru townhouses
will
be
built later, expanding occu-
pancy to 400 students.
Space has become a major
problem with more freshmen
residents then expected enroll-
ing and more upperclassmen
wanting to live on campus.
Junior, Joe Patriss said he was
placed into a GartJand Commons
room with two roommates .
.
He
was able to move into Gregory
''If
.
you had put boots and
footlockers in the room it would
have looked exactly like a bar-
rack. It was impossible for the
three of us to share that space,"
he said.
Patriss also said the housing
situation needs to
be
addressed.
"There shouldn't be these
build ups
.
with the priority point
system for upperclassmen hous-
ing. I am glad Marist is plan-
ning on building more housing
to deal with this problem."
Tracy Santangelo, sopho-
more, said she thinks new hous-
ing will help the housing problem.
"For upperclassmen it will al-
leviate the problem, at least for
those who have enough points
to get into this housing," she
said. "I also feel that the col-
lege accepted too many new stu-
dents and that we need to ac
-
cept fewer people or build more
housing to accommodate new
students."
Marist plans on limiting next
year's freshmen class to 774 resi-
dent students. There are no
plans to increase the freshmen
residential population because
of the Route 9 hou~ing.

"We're a big division," she
said. "Where are they going to
put us? There's no space that I
know of. Look around, where
·
would you put us? For four or
five people you could do it, but
for
45,
what can you do?"
_
She heard rumors over the
summer that faculty would be
moved across Route 9; which
she said would be a bad idea
because it would mean less in-
teraction between professors
and students'.
.
But Anderson said faculty
will not be moved across Route
9.
'
_
'The committee rejected
things across
·Route

because
of a~cessibility of students," he
said. "There's some interesting
spaces available tacross the
road], but it would have meant
a problem getting students back
and forth. The one thing that
seems certain is keeping us on
the current west side of Route
9."
DeAngelis said she is very
concerned about the possibil-
ity of the division being split up
.
.
during construction;
.
·
·
Having some faculty in trail-
ers and others in the Cabaret or
in Donnelly would be unaccept-
able, she sa'id.
"Separation would be disman-
tling," DeAngelis said. "There'.s
power in numbers. Separating
a department is crazy. The co-
hesion would be lost. The pro-
.
fessor-student relation would
be traumatized.''
·
Construction is expected to
last
14
months, and Haboucha
said she is confident that no one
will be displaced much longer
than that.
.
"The college has a good repu-
tation in holding to deadline,"
she said. "They will try to com-
plete it as quickly as possible."
The Mccann problem, she
said, was s(?mething no one
could have anticipated.
Anderson said he worries that
construction could go over
deadline, but nothing can be
·
done about it.
"You ~orry about that," he
said, "butthat was the guaran-
tee we were given and that's
what we have to accept at this
point."
He said right now everyone
seems to be mourning the loss
of a special building. Even
alumni, who are excited about
the new library, are disap-
pointed that Fontaine has to be
destroyed.
"There's funny little leak marks
on the ceiling, but as far as just
how students respond when
they come
·
in here, they sense
it;s a little different then some
of the other office spaces on
campus," he said.
Haboucha said she will miss
Fontaine; but
it·
will soon be
worth all the problems they are
facing now.
"We are very happy in
Fontaine, and I think everyone
is going to miss it," she said.
"There's

in the halls and the offices, but

l
had a cushy gig at The Na~
tional Performance Review arin
of the Office of the Vice Presi-
dent. (One of the most com-
monly asked questions this past
summer was "Vice President of
what?") This was a truly exhila-
rating, and at times unbelievable
experience. It•was difficult for
·
me to not be awestruck at the
fact that I was. in the center of
·activity for. the Executive
Branch of our Federal govern-
ment. There were many occa-
sions where
I
simply was dumb-
founded at what the incredible -
opportunity
I' was given.
,· This sensation was super-
seded when all of the Office of
the Vice President interns got to
meet with Vice President Gore.
I
had the distinct pleasure of get-
ting to sit right nextto the Vice
President. Initially, this seemed
like the best seat in the house,
but
I
soon
I
realized how intimi-
dating it would be to sit a heart-
beat-away from the man who is
· himself a heartbeat away from
becoming the leader of the most
powerful nation on earth. ·
Mr. Gore was a truly warm,
funny and charismatic man who
made us all feel at ease with the
fact that we were talkingto such
an immensely important public
figure. He answered questions
ranging from the environment to
taxes. He even discussed with
me the importance of television
appearances. This truly was the
highlight of my time in Wash-
ington.
I
would love to share
the moment with you, but Wash-
ington beuracracy being what
it is, it will be months before the
photographs are developed.
The most historic event
I at-
tended was the signing of the
Balanced Budget Act of
1997
by
President Clinton. Mr. Clinton
and Mr. Gore spoke at that, as
did. Speaker of the House
Gingrich. His wife was also
there. I know this-because Mr.
Gore asked her to stand up and
be recognized. Of course, she
was wearing such a tacky out-
fit, it would have been hard to
nor recognize her.
(I
still think
that this is why the Vice Presi-
. dent had her stand; so we could
all gawk at her.)
When all

terns posed for a group picture

it
really
was phenomenal. Although this
was a brief event, staged out-
side on the South Lawn amidst
I 00
uncomfortable degrees, this
was probably the event that
was the most rewarding.
·
Mr. Clinton talked to us about
the importance of public service.
He told us that if we· learned
anything from our summer in
Washington, it should be that
United States public servants
work incredibly hard to ensure
that our g<,wernment does its
best to help the best interests
of the needs of the many people
of this great nation. He told us
that we would be having a
unique experience, and that we
would get a rare look into the
inner workings of our govern-
ment, which he hoped that we
would share with people when
we got back .
Most of all, I was amazed at
the incredible amount of work
done by the people at National
Performance Review. The long
hours put in, and the massive
amount of overtime without ex-
tra pay is not something that I
am envious of. During my expe-
rience, public servants work far
longer and much harder than
what most of the public would
think.
There were numerous in-
stances where

was able to see
the changes that were being
made in our government. This
is important. because we have
been inundated with talk of"Big

ment working hard to make our
government work better, and at
the same time, find ways to
make it cost less,

Take a moment; if you will. to
look at what Marist has
planned for the month of Sep-
tember. Look at the picture

ties Calendar: a picture of Maya

wrapped around his neck, an

and some guy surrounded

that leaves school every five
minutes to go you-know-where
on weekend nights.)
It lias been brought to
my
at-
tention that there was ari·article
in last week's issue which spoke
of the horrors ofliving off cam-
pus. To al] of the freshmen out
there· who' have· not
·
yet heard,
there:are a
few
ba'd
people here
and there in ·Poughkeepsi_e. If
they see you walking home late
one night, they will probably be
less than cordial and definitely
not ask you to borrow a dollar.
But living off campus is not
nearly the nightmare it seems to
be portrayed as (unless,
of
course, you live near Vassar or
The Culinary Institute where all
the rules of normality go out the
window).
This is my second year living
off campus and I think it beats
on-campus life by a long shot.
The first, and by far most im-
portant, reason is the fact. that
you never have to go to the caf-
eteria again. We can
all
attest
to the Grade F meat that is
served alongside the· fake tater
tots and the government
cheese. But for those of you
who live in the Townhouses and
Gartland, you do not necessar-
ily have to. go to the caf
e
either
so that is just as good as being
off campus.
Almost as important as say-
ing goodbye to the cafeteria, .
though, is proving to your par-
ents that you are responsible
enough to live on your own.
This could help take the pres-
sure off when you tell them that
you plan on Jiving in Boston for
the summer.
Now I know what you are
thinking: "Off-campus means
that we have to pay for electric-
ity and cable and all that stuff."
Obviously you folks haven't
mastered the art of conning the:
parents.
If
that is the case you •
might as well not even read the ·
rest of this article.· For those of
·you who feel you can improve
your efforts in taking advantage
of the parents, we will continue.
You tell your parents that
since they don't have to pay for
room and board on campus they
should have no problems pay-
ing for your bills, groceries, rent,
car payments, bike payments,
gambling debts and other ... hab-
its.
Another way of looking at off
campus life comes into play if
you live in an area where there
are lots of other students
around. It becomes campus life
without the RAs and the. RDs,
not to· mention security. This
year I live on a streetwith at
least
forty
other students on it
and it is like.one big block party
on the weekends.
- We walk down the street at
three or four in the morning on
the weekends with no fear of
being approached by random
Poughkeepsie street urchins.
The neighbors, on the other
hand, are a different story. But
the police have only been called
a
few
times this year and when
they ~ame to my apartment they
were very nice.
I have not been to Kaai Rock
yet but I hear it is just as good
of a time over there. The fact is
that outside of those people
who were quoted in last week's
issue, I haven't heard anyone
complain about the quality of
life off campus.
And let's face it, if you are go-
ing to get mugged, you are go-
, ing to get n:1ugged; it doesn't
matter where you live.
The reason is.when "Tommy"
decides he's too drunk to stay
at the bar anymore and he
doesn't have the dollar to take
a taxi (or doesn't know how to
say taxi), he's going to sneak out
and walk home.
It
doesn't mat-
ter ifhe lives on Union Street or
in upper state New York, he's
going to walk.
If
Tommy gets mugged that
night, it is obviously not a good
or funny thing (unless you
know him and he is okay). But
it would not have made a differ-
ence if Tommy lived on campus
because it is a matter ofluck. In
fact, since Nite Cap burned
down, many off-campus hous-
ing areas are clos_er to parties
and bars than campus.
The moral of the story children
is do not give tnat extra ten
thousand dollars to Marist.
Give them money for the classes
and nothing [llore, because,
generally speaking, they do not
deserve it. Instead, why don't
you be a good citizen and give
some of that money to one of
the drunken landlords on Union
Street or Kaai Rock who will
probably stiff you on your se-
curity deposit at the end of the
year. I guarantee you will have
more fun.

Last, and most certainly
LEAST is a little picture of a
bus.· "Galleria Mall Trips," it
says, "Saturday, Sept. 6--Day,
Saturday, Sept.
13--Evening."
And there you have it; the
highlights of the month of Sep-
tember. What is wrong with
this picture?
I recall being in high school
and looking forward to being
able to have a certain amount
of independence, the kind of
free-roaming independence
that college students thrive on.
As a freshmen, I learned that
independence in today's soci-
ety is al mos~ entirely ~.ased 011
one question:
Do
you have
a
car?
Unfortunately I've been liv-
ing with the reality of"no" ever
since. There are many times
when I would like to get off cam-
pus to go shopping or go to
the movies. Some days I think
of how nice it would be to go
to the Vanderbilt Mansion or
take a ride to Rhinebeck. How-
ever, unless I am willing to fork
over the money for a cab,
(which is almost invariably
three dollars each way, unless
you' re desperate enough to
load yourself like sheep into
one of those white taxi vans
I am al !he complete mercy
of the will of my friends who
do
have
cars. Two Galleria mall
trips a month is neither: going
to impress me, nor satisfy my
urge to get off campus once in
a
while without having to add
an extra eight dollars on to the
price of my movie ticket.
Let's not fool ourselves into
believing exactly whal the
school wants usto believe: that
Marist, with its
120
acres of
freshly trimmed grass is a self-
sufficient habitat for its stu-
dents. "Everything that we
needisrighthere! Ifit'snotin
the college bookstore or in one
of the coff~e shops, I can't use
it!" Tell me when you've heard
anyone say that!
We as a collective student
body shou.ld be p·ushing for
transportation that is cheaper
and more frequent: Let's not _
make independence become
.some kind of competition be-
tween those with· cars and
those without: I don't ever
want.
to
see that little bus on
the activities i;alendar again!
It
should not. have to be a big
publicized'deal that we get to
go to the mall two S~turdays a
month. On weekends,
it
should
not be cheaper to go to a bar
than it is to go to the movies!
Assert your rights to transpor-
tation now or you may spend
the rest of your college days in
the same place. (Right here).

Regular visits to the Center for
Career Services may keep job
search frustration away.
The Center for Career Services
(CCS), located in Donnelly 226,
is offering programs to help re-
lieve students of some of the
stress of searching for a job or
graduate school.· The programs
include, resume referral, resume
books, campus interviews, and
career and graduate school fairs.
Career workshops are also be-
ing offered.
Chet Koulik, assistant direc-
tor of career development and

is a good opportunity for those
who choose to take it.
"A lot is going on senior
year," he said, "but it's the only

This semester CCS is offering
four recruiting programs.
Resume referral is one of the
programs being offered. This
program involves CCS sending
out resumes to companies that
have openings and request re-
sumes of students and.alumni
having qualifications for the
job. The employer will then
contact the student if interested.
A second program is
resume
· books. With this program i-e~
sumes are sent out in cycles,
stnt out each week, to different
employers that might have job
openings.
Another program being of-
fered is campus interviews.
· Employers come on campus and
conduct interviews for qualified
students. CCS contacts the stu-
dent if the employer wants to
interview him.
The other recruiting program.
CCS is offering this semester is
a job fair. At job fairs, Koulik
said employers are looking for
students to hire for possible job
openings, internships, summer
jobs, or are just prom9ting their
organization. CCS will be hold-
ing a job fair Oct. 30 from 4 p.m.
to
7
p.m. in the Mccann Center.
Koulik said all students should
attend in order to begin the job
networking process.
Students must register with
CSS to become involved in th~
recruiting programs. Students
must fill out a registration form,
which gives CCS permission to
send out resumes to prospec-
tive employers. Students must

Good food, great deal with the

at your local Pizza Hut
BRENTKNAPP
Staff Writer
After two weeks of grocery
shopping, two weeks of cook-
ing and way too. many ·dishes,
what is Marist student to do?
Well one thought is go all out
and go somewhere nice to eat. .
Then !remembered how much
money I spent the night before
at one of my· favorite establish-
ments. Suddenly a friend of
mine had one of his rare good
ideas. I believe his exact words
were: «we should go to the
Pizza Hut lunch buffet." It came
over us like a like hearing one of
our friends had a keg at their
house, there was no doubt that
we were going. So my two best
friends (who will be known as
Los and Pit) and I proceeded to
scrap together our few remain-
ing dollars and head to the Pizza
Hut.
We chose the Pizza Hut lo-
cated next to Price Chopper on
Route 9. This was perfect be-
cause we could return our cans
and bottles first to make sure we
had
·
enough money. At a cost
of roughly
$4
each, we were able
to consume all of the pizza,
pasta, salad and other goodies
available, until we could eat no
more. This has to be the poor
college student deal of the cen-
tury.

For another

as you like. We were fortunate
enough to have.

"I love to challenge myself,"
Brennan explained. "It keeps

Determined was one word,
Steve Napolitani, a third year
radfo/fV /film major, used to de-
scribe his roommate.
"Bill is
a
highly determined
person; he expects a lot from
himself," Napolitani
said.
"But
he'll give it his best while help-
ing others at the same time."
Brennan recently began a job
at Marist helping others while
still doing what he loves, swim-
ming. He coaches the Marist_
College Swim Club.
"I coach people from the Mid-
Hudson area, ranging in age
from seven to 20 years old,"
· Brennan said. ''It's.my first year
and I'm looking forward to it."
Brennan hopes to continue
coaching while possibly teach-
ing biology after graduation.
"I want to turn my high school
s\Vimming program into the best
on Long Island,".Brennan said.
Along with teaching and
coaching, Brennan also plans to
marry and have children.
"Marriage is a big commitment
but I'm willing to follow through
with it," Brennan said. "I'd sup-
port everyone who's involved."
Ok, so you want the real dirt'?
Here are a few things people may
not know about Bill Brennan.
He despises cigarette smok-
ing.
"It's a drug that fools people,"
Brennan explained. "And I've
seen a lot athletes go downhill
because of it."
His biggest fear ironically in-
volves the ocean.
"I believe within the next 25
years a natural disaster, like a
hurricane, will wipe out the en-
tire Fire Island shore," Brennan
said. "I'm afraid it won't be a
place I can go anymore."
He loves dolphins.
"Dolphins are such peaceful
animals," Brennan said. I used
to ride with them on Fire Island
when I was younger."
He is obsessed with the Dave
Matthews Band.
"I've been following the band
since 1995," Brennan said. "I
have 26 bootlegs of them--24
music
tapes and two videos.
Their lyrics are amazing."
He recently swam across
the Hudson River.
"It's a team thing."
Brennan said. "This was
my second year and I'll
definitely do it again."
His proudest moment
happened freshman year.
"After competing against
eight other teams, we won
the Swimming MAAC
(Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference) Champion-
ships," Brennan said.
On the other hand, his
most embarrassing moment
happened· while life guard-
ing.
"I took a kayak all the
way out in an attempt to
save someone. I then real-
ized it was just a shirt float-
ing in the water," Brennan
said.
In 20 years, Brennan
sees himself floating.
"I would love to be an-
chored out on a dock to live
with my family," he said. "I
can't imagine living the rest
of my life far a part from the
water."

It's violent, tasteless and revolt-

mated poetry. I think back on
the monumental achievements
that have graced the TV screen
since it's birth in the .I 930's, and
two thing~·come to mind ... South
Park and the Spice Channel.
Unedited bootlegs of the
show have been in circulation
for the past year, but I haven't
had the pleasure or viewing it
until three weeks ago. But since
then, I have retired my syringe
to make room for a cheaper,
healthier addiction. Sure, the
show is a little lacking in the
moral fiber department, but Mr.
Rogers is no longer the domi-
.
nant media force that he used
to be. Charles in Charge re-runs
are also becoming more and
more scarce'. Most o,f the crap
cluttering the airwaves these
days breed moral decay, so why
not tack one more show on to
the list.
While some, television pro-
grams concern themselves with
being moderately PC. (politically

people as·-h-umarily possible.

such concepts as subtlety and
sensitivity.

as well as my alcoholism on the
back burner to embrace three
hours of televised smut. A
South Park marathon quenched
every thirst for indecency that
I've ever had. Shows tackled
issues like homophobia, as-
sisted suicides, alien abduction,
plagiarism, cloning and animal
cruelty. And to my surprise,
moral justice was served each
and every time. For those of
you that missed it, I was being
sarcastic.
If
s9meone wanted to count
the number of times the show
promoted improper behavior,
they'd need a little help from
NASA.
In one episode, one
child's uncle (for the record, the
. show consists of five small time
youngsters in the second grade)
took the kids on a hunting ex-
pedition. Apparently; to obtain
a hunting pennit in South Park,
the only requirement is that the
applicant is post-utero. While
on the hunting trip, the uncle

I am surprised that
conservatives have not yet sank
their teeth into this program.
Even a liberal like myself can't
help but see detrimental affects
from this program being viewed
by young children. Here's a
program that portrays second
graders as being fluent in both
English and Truckdriver. Gay
activists that caught the epi-
sode about the homosexual dog
must have cringed in disgust.

It shocks me that a show as
raunchy as this can be accessed
through basic cable. As immoral
as it is, I'm yet to meet one per-
son that hasn't loved it. Senior
Steve Uchman claims that "the
Simpsons are no longer the
kings of animated television."
He also added that watching the
program almost elevates him to
the level of "sexual arousal."
While I haven't quite reached
that point of enjoyment when
watching the show, I will agree
that it is the best cartoon I've
ever watched.

Duchess and Orange County
are great places to check out
some fresh new bands,
Whatever style you're into.
The independent music scene
is alive and well in upstate New
York if the past year can serve
as a barometer. A lot of these
bands can be see performing
the opening sets at places like
the Chance in Poughkeepsie,
the Cabaloosa in New Paltz and
the Avalon in Newburgh.
If
you' re a ska fan and
you happen to have a record
player, definitely check out the
new single from Lettuce Boy,
one of the premier local acts.
They've played with the Toast-
ers .and Mephiskapheles and
will be playing with the Slack-
ers next month.
·
They also do
some interesting cover songs,
like Kiss' "Rock N' Roll All Nite"
and "Pigs in Space" from the
Muppet Show.'

over the past year, probably
because it seems like they're
playing a show every
.
week ..
They have a new single out,
also. Along the same lines are
the Velvetones.
·.
Fans of upbeat
ska-influenced alternative like
the Mighty Mighty Bosstones
should check them out.
Brown Tongue is a
band that seems to get more
unpopular with every show, but
that's more because of their at-
titude than anything else. They

Wappingers Falls, who have just

play excellent groove-heavy

lar to nothing you've ever heard
before:
If
y9u like music that's
a little on the heavy side defi-
nitely check them out, they're
always playing somewhere.
Dissolve is also from
Wappinger's Falls, and play a
similar style of music. Keavan
from Dissolve owns the tattoo

If you're feeling ad-
venturous on a weekend defi-
nitely look into seeing one of
the many great local acts in
Duchess and Orange County.
On any given week there will be
some musical event going on
somewhere in the area. This
past Thursday the band Shunt
played at Confetti's in
Poughkeepsie. Independent
bands need your support, so
give some new music a chance.

The new album blows away
the old albums with more seri-

production. Anthems like "Say

and "Low Life'' lead the pack
of great new songs. The song
"East Side Mags'" deals with

-Dar William's soothing voice, insightful lyrics delight
byS'fEP.tlANJEMERCURIO
Managiiig Editor
When
I
first picked upthe Dar ·
Williams CD "End of Summer,''
I
was thrilled. After experiencing
the Lilith Fair this summer, and ··
hearing Williams for the first
time,
I
knew
I
would love her.
Williams writes that the CD
was recorded in· her bedroom,
which gives the album an ex-
tremely familiar feel. As soon as ·
I
put it on,
I
felt as if
I
was hang-
ing out with her in her bedroom,
talking about life·and relation-
ships.
·
Thesong
"Ifl
Wrote You"; is
an absolutely beautiful soµg
about revealing a love, which in
tum drives the object of her de-
sire away. The song "End of
Summer" is about leaving a sum-
mer love, which has· the best
line ever: "There are just some
moments when your family
makes sense." I totally related
to that line, as well as the rest of
th(! song.
.
In "What do You Hear in these
Sounds", she sings of interise
self-doubt and try~ng to absolve
her ·feelings through therapy.
She conveyed the mentality of
most of our society brilliantly
within this song, wh_ich is prob-
ably my favorite on the album.
· The only song
I
did not like at
all. was "Teenagers Kick Our
Butts." The title alone made me
want to skip the song when I
was listening for the first time,
but the message of the song is
a decent one, if not overplayed;
the adult generation has not
solved every problem, the chil-
dren need to tell them what to
do.
WiHiams' voice is very easy
to listen to'. It is soothing, yet it
did not put me to sleep. Her
voice is similar to Tori Amos',
with a dash of Jew~l added in.
Most of her songs, although
delivering powerful messages,
are not slow and serious. They
are upbeat and snappy, _to which
I found myself bopping to as I
did my homework. ,
I do not know if I would rec-
ommend this album to everyone,
however. My favorite artists in-
. elude Sarah McLachlan, Fiona
Apple, The Indigo Girls and Tori
Amos; Dar Williams fits in very
nicely with this group of
women, so she was easy to like.
My housemates thought the al-
bum was pretty good, as well.
However, my Smashing Pump-
kins/Pink Floyd-loving boy-
friend was not as impressed with
this album as
I
was.
Overall, it would be safe to say
if you like more mellow music
with a message to it, Dar Will-
iams would be enjoyable for
you.
If
you are an Ozzy Osborne
groupie, you might want to pass
her by. I really enjoy the album,
and listen to it often. Out of five
stars, I would give her three and
a half.
DAR WILLIAMS
Dar Williams is finding her
way
in the folk genre. Her new
release is called "End of Summer."

Christopher Jette is very involved in Marist activities. After being a member of various
clubs and activities for the past three years, including Vice President of Club Affairs, he
now over sees the operations of all 58 clubs on campus.
"I make sure the clubs are following the appropriate procedures for Marist," said Jette.
Along with his many duties for SGA, Jette can also be found at the McCann Center. He
has been an employee of the McCann Center for his four years here and he also sits on the
standing committee of athletics. In addition, Jette is the captain of the racquetball team,
tapes and edits footage for the football team, and is the Secretary of MCTV.
For his senior year, Jette is trying to heed the advice of graduated friends and alumni.
"Relax and have fun! This is your last chance!''.
With the real world one year away, Jette looks back and remembers what first attracted him
to Marist. His favorite aspects of the school is its community and the friendly people.
"Marist was a big change coming from a public school in Brooklyn," said Jette.
Anyone who has ever known Jette knows his Jove of sports. As a Communications major,
he's hoping to get a job in the athletic field. He realizes his chances for employment are
greater by starting off behind the scenes and then working his way up.
"I always wanted to be a Sports Broadcaster," said Jette. ·

meetings;
it
seems unlikely that
that plan will be used.
"The realignment committee

Magellan,'' joked, acting com-
missioner Bud Selig.'
But if Selig wants to get base-
ball back on track, someplace
it
has not been since the · 1994
strikeseason; he will do every-
thing he can to see radical
re-
alignment come to pass. This
season, interleague play was a
huge success; it was the first
step baseball had to take lo bring
the fans back; Butwhile it be-
gan to close them up, the
wounds created by the strike
remain unhealed.
It was clear this year that fans
are interested in seeing teams
from opposing leagues play.
Who can forget the classic
Mets-Yankees series in the
Bronx? Or the rematch of the
1986 World Series between Bos-
ton and New York. These games
were intense for the players and
fans. But they were also rela-
tively insignificant. Had these
games been played in late Au-
gust or September with playoff
implications
'
the atmosphere
\\'.ould have been absoiutely in-
credible.
Opponents argue that radical
realignment changes the face of
baseball too much, that it goes
against tradition an.d ruins the
history of the game. Last
offseason, these same people
voiced· their opposition to
interleague play and cited those
same reasons.,
They were wrong then and
they a:re wrong now: · ·
The fans want something new
·and something exciting, Things
cannot stay the same forever.
Baseball must do something to
put the fans back
in
the seats.
That is far more important than
trying to stick to a meaningless
tradiiion.
Like
it
or not, Major League
Baseball is more than just a
game;
it
is also a huge business
and no business can be suc-
cessful if no one buys its prod-
ucts.
The vote cannot be delayed
forever. Sooner· or later the
owners will have to decide.
Let's just hope that they make a
decision that satisfies the fans
first and their self ~interest sec-
ond. If they do this, baseball
can once again be considered
America's national pastime .

through mid-seaSoll slump
by MARKJ. WELLS
Staff Writer
The Red Foxes had a rough
time on the tennis court this past
· week, losing all three of their
matches. Losses to Siena Col-
lege, Rider University, and
Hofstra University left Marist
with a record of 3-4 and a four
game losing streak.
A big reason for the sudden
losing streak was an injury to
senior captain Holly Robinson.
Robinson sustained ,an arm in-
jury in her match last week
· against Monmouth. She missed
the match against Siena, as well
as a week of practice.
In the 5-2 loss to Siena on
Wednesday, Tracy Hunt and
Leigh Goiden won their respec-
tive matches at second and fifth
singles. Hunt and Goiden were
forced to move up in t~e lineup
due to the injury to Robinson.
Hunt's 6-2, 6-2 victory at sec-
ond singles impressed first-year
coach Jamie King.
"Tracy played -very hard
against Siena. I was very im-
.
'
pressed by her performance,"
King said.
The Siena n:iatch could have
gone either way. The Red Foxes
lost two close, pivotal matches.
First, Claudine Habib lost to
Kelly Parker at third singles 7-5,
7-6(7-4).
The other close contest in-
volved Hunt again. She and her
. partner, Kara Oliver, lost at first
doubles to Anjeli Gupta and
Marcie Sorrentino, 9-8 (7-5).
"If
the doubles had won, that
might have turned it around for
us but I was· very ·happf with
the effort," King said.
The Saturday match against
Rider University marked the re-
turn of Robinson to the starting
lineup. Even with the return
their captain, the Red foxes fell
to Rider 6-3.
Kara Oliver and Jennifer
Annstrong won their matches at
second and fifth singles respec-
tively. Oliver won 6-2, 6-1 and
Armstrong won her match 7-5,
6-0. Robinson did help the team
by teaming up with Oliver in first
doubles and winning 8-4.
"Holly was a little rusty, since
she missed a week of practice,"
c<;>ach King explained.
Robinson was the lone bright
spot for the Red Foxes as they
lost to Hofstra University 8-1 on
Sunday. Robinson won her
match at first singles 6~ 7, 6-4, 6-
3.
'This was the most focused I
have been in three years,"
Robinson said. .
The Red Foxes have two diffi-
cult matches coming up in the
next week against
St.
Peter's
College and Fairfield University.
Coach King, despite the
losses this past week, is very
happy with the team as a whole.
"We are coming together as
a
cohesive unit which is the im-
portant thing right now," King
said.
