. McDowell create·s nationally acclaimed website
· Student interns wiih International Radio and Television Society
by
JENNIFER FEMMINE.LLA
Staff Writer
While other Marist seniors have been
anxiously searching for jobs after gradu-
ation, Mike McDowell has been hobnob-
. bing with the big wigs from television and
radio. ·
Last year, McDowell did some indepen-
dent study work with
Leo
MacKenzie, who
had a connection to an executive at the
International Radio and Television Soci-
ety
(IRTS).
McDowell and MacKenzie invited the
executive to a lunch at Marist, where they
mentioned they believed IRTS should
have
a
web site. Three months later,
McDowell received clearance to create a
page. Over the summer, with Marcia
Christ, professional lecturer of advertis-
ing, McDowell began the page and an in-
ternship with IRTS.
McDowell's web site for IRTS was
named a "Site of the Day" by Six Pack To
Go, an internet site that lists six sites it
·recommends on the World Wide Web.
McDowell said he felt especially proud
of his website.
. ''The site was listed along with one cre-
ated by Microsoft, who have expertise in
this area," he said.
McDowell interns for two days a week,
one day in Manhattan, and another on
campus updating, getting research and
confronting problems. As another perk
to his job, not only does McDowell set
up speakers for conferences, he also gets
to attend the conferences and make valu-
able connections in the television and ra-
dio business,· even though his internship
is not directly related to this field.
· "By simply showing a WPIX executive's
secretary something small on America
On-line, I was given a meeting with some
' executives to talk about possibly making
a web site. The opportunities presented
are fantastic," McDowell said.
McDowell said he is one of an eight
member team.
"I
feel like
I'm
part of the organization.
I'm part of IRTS," McDowell said. "My
experience is an exception to the rule,
though. Very few internships will allow
you to meet the range of people IRTS al-
lows, or work on such a level."
Barbara McMullen, acting director of
academic computing, said she agrees that
internships like McDowell's are rare.
'They require forging a special relation-
ship with these companies. Students
have to seek out these opportunities," she
-said.
In 1995, CAUSE, the association for
managing and using information re-
sources in higher education, ranked Marist
tied for second as the most technologi-
cally advanced college in the nation. Tim
Massie, chief college relations officer, said
students like McDowell are the substance
behind the words. .
"It's wonderful to claim we are one of
the most technologically advanced col-
leges, but we also need a product to show
for it," he said. "When students like Mike
achieve something like this, the college's
reputation is enhanced by proving that
we can attract intelligent and talented stu-
dents, and the student also benefits by
learning a craft that is then marketable
when it comes time to find a job."
McMullen said she agrees with this
statement.
"We are in the business of education,
and our customers are our students. If
they are not benefiting from our accolades,
we are not doing our job," she said.

also amazed that all Indians eat
with their right hand, with the
exception ofleft-handed people .
In the northern and western
parts of India, there is what is
known
as
a "thali," which liter-
ally means "plate." This is simi-
lar to an American-fixed lunch:
an appetizer, main entree, dessert
and drink. For appetizers, we had
Lentil soup and samosa
,
which
is a veggie stuffed crispy pastry.
Samosas, not to be confused
with mimosas (champagne and
orange juice), were one of the
highlights of the meal. The thali

dish some of these onto your

-
of bread to dip with the sauces
and dishes. Experiencing Indian
bread is truly delicious.

There
are sooo many different kinds!

Chapathi (whole wheat bread) or
poori (puffed whole wheat bread)
is usually what is served with
thali.

Unlike last year at this time, the
buzz down at Mccann is not about
the men's basketball team. This
year.everyone is interested with the
men's
:mu
women's swimming and
diving t.:ams.
There is nothing new this year in
tenns of winning. The teams are still
swimming and diving well and still
winning but there is a new twist to
the scenario. The men's team
is
look-
ing to win the Metro Atlantic Ath-

ference championship again
and the women look to redeem ihem-
sel ves bnt this time look to capture
the title at home.
With Marist hosting the
MAAC
championships, starting tc:>day and
concluding Sunday, much attention ·
has heen hrought to the swimming
and di-.·ing teams. The questions to
ask are:
I)
Can the men handle the
attention and pressure of the excite-
ment at tl1eir home and.2) Can the
women step up to the level to actu-
ally capture the title this year.
Ifthe men win again this year, they
will be c,n\y the-second. team.at
Maris! in any .sport to capture three
consecutive conference titles. (Only
baskctbnll can boast the same feat.
They
will
have at least a few• more
years to worry about doing that
again!)
·
If
the women win, they will re-
deem themselves after losing to
Loyola by 1.5 points last year at the
MAACs.
The team has a lot on the line this
year
ai

Since the meet is being held at
Marist,
ii
means so much more. The
Red Foxe~ can feel comfortable in
their nonnal . stift~undings while. at
the same timefeeling ~he pressure to
win on their home turf.

the lighting,
the

the water

the air,
and thl! d1ving boards, the fact that
they
will
have their home fans will
give thrm a great advantage. Even
though the
.
regt1lars· will
be
tµere, the
Red _Foxes will get support from the
student body.
.
· · · .
I am confident that the Marist stu-
dents will show support mainly
be-
cause
it
is th~ championship. This
is the meet that means everything
and I pzr;onally wish the swimmers,
the divers, and
the
coaches good luck.
From what I have seen in terms of ·
preparing the facility in the past few
weeks. the overall operation of the
meet Joe.ks to
be
a success. Although
we have one or'the
best facilities in
the M,\ACdue to a kparate diving
well, I still have one question; Where
are all th,~ people going to go? There
will
be over 300 people on the· pool
deck at_ any _one t_\me and if you
haven'r noticed, t~ere•s· not much
room. Also, there is a.very limited
bleach;!r and spectator area so if you
want good seats, get there early and
settle in f,)r the day.

Despite the fantastic seasons
by both men's and women's
swimming and diving teams last
year, there was still a sef\se of
unfinished business. The men's
and women's swimming and div-·
ing teams both had outstanding
years last season, but something
was still missing.
The men topped off a great sea-
son by winning the Metropoli-
tan Association Athletic Confer-
ence championship. The women,
who also had a great season, fell
short of the title by a measly one-
and-a-half points.

The never-ending string of bad
luck continued for the men's bas-
ketball team·on Saturday night.
A tough, 64!55 loss to St. Francis
(PA) sunk the Red Foxes to 3-11
in the Northeast Conference and
4-17 overall.
·
The _Red Flash of St. Francis
arrived fn Poughkeepsie for
Saturday's game standing in the
middle of the NEC pack, fighting
for position in· the upcoming
conference tournament. Marist,
meanwhile, was coming off a win,
but head coac.h Dave Magarity's
squad was still struggling to stay
out of last place in the league
standings.
The game began slowly; after
eight full minutes·of play, the·
score was tied at
3,
and even af-
ter the teams picked up the pace,
the half-time score saw Marist
leading, 22-20. The low scores
were due to both ineptitude on
offense, and ·solid defense.
The Red Flash and the Red
Foxes both shot less than 33%
from the fl~or in the first half, and
both team~. committed careless,
costly .turnovers. And when a

to come back again." . .
.
And that was all she wrote.
Over the ·final two minutes of
regulation; St. Francis extended
its lead to double-digits; and
cruised home with a 64-55 vic-
tory.
Two days earlier, the Red Foxes
won a thrilling contestover Rob-
ert Morris, 60-57, and moved
ahead of the visiting Colonials
in the conference standings.
Bryan Whittle scored 8 of his
· 10 points early in the second
half, and helped Marist
roeµ-
back
from a IS-point deficit. Manny
Otero drilled a three-pointer at
the 9: 10 mark to erase the Robert
Morris lead entirely, tying the
game at 49.
Over the final five minutes, the
lead changed hands four times
as the two teams, the doormats
of the NEC, battled for a much
needed win. The final swing
happened with 32.4 seconds left
in the game, and put Marist
ahead to stay.
Sophomore point guard Bobby
Joe Hatton took control of the
game in the second half; it was
,,
'
appropriate that he put up the
eventual game winning shot.,
"When I looked at the shot
clock, there were 11 seconds
left," explained Hatton .. "I had to
make a play, so
I
did a little spin
move and the ball went in."
The home crowd at the James
J. McCann Center exploded fol-
lowing Hatton's spectacular
move in the lane, and Joe
Mccurdy iced things when he
calmly h_it two free throws in the
final seconds.
Magarity was pleased with his
team's performance as they
battled back from the l_arge defi-
cit.
"If
we're not going to win,
we're going to go down fighting.
All season, the team has given
great efforts. Tonight, we got
fortunate. We had some guys do
some good things."
The coach went on to praise
Hatton specifically.
"Bobby Joe played the best
20
minutes of his career, and con-
trolled the game. He brought us
back."
The Red Foxes will return home
after a two game road trip on Feb.
17 to face the Rider Broncos.

Addington also said she feels
that the Red Foxes are the pre-

competition.
"We're the home team, so I'd
.. have to say we are the favorites,"
· Addington said. "All we have
to do is stay focused and accom-

set earlier

"There was no team scoring,"
Colaizzo said. "We only paid at-
tention to individual perfor-
mances."
One of which was Ben
Hefferon's 4: 19 record-breaking
finish in the mile run. The result
bettered former teammate Dave
Swift's record by nearly three
seconds. Swift, a 1995 graduate,
was in the area and ran into
Hefferon after the meet.
"He just told me that I ran a nice
race, and thanked me for break-
ing the only record that he held
at Marist," Hefferon joked.
Hefferon later teamed with Mike
McCarthy, Pat Casey, and Mike
Melfi to place first in the Dis-
tance Medley Relay, with another
record breaking time of 10:35.
Eric Deshaies contributed a
strong effort as well, tying his
