Fashion department prepares for
11th annual Silver Needle Awards
by
MEGAN
ST.
JOHN
Staff Writer
Tli~
M~ri~t Fashion Department is get-
ting ready to unveil its newest produc-
tion.
The 1 Hh annual Silver Needle Awards
and Fashion Show will be on May
1
at the
Casper Kill Country Club, fonnerly the
IBM Mid-Hudson Valley Conference Cen-
ter.
There will be two perfonnances on May
1,
an afternoon show and an evening
show.
Last year; a to
.
tal of748 people attended
the show, and Elizabeth Csordas, director
of the fashion department, said she is
optimistic about increasing that amount.
"Consistently, we've been having over
700 attendants at the shows, and every
year we pass the previous year's num-
bers," she said.
Half of the available tickets have already
been sold, and Csordas said she encour-
ages the Marist community t~ attend and
to buy their tickets while they're avail-
able.
"For those of you who miss this year's
show, you're missing the opportunity to
see the talents of future stars introduced
for the first time at Marist College," she
said.
tory pieces, as well as an overall theme.
"There
.
are certain rules and require-
ments of those six outfits. There has to
·
be a knit, a tailored piece, evening wear,
and a dress. Each student has to include
at least one of each of the components,"
Csordas said.
In addition to the fashion department
faculty, seniors are paired up with promi-
nent New York City-based designers who
help guide them through the difficult pro-
cess. Several designers, including Marist
alumni JR Morrissey, have served as de-
signer critics for the students and will be
attending this year's show. The designer
critic system is just one element that sets
the Marist program apart from other
schools.
"Each designer works one on one with
the student, which is the most unique fea-
ture of our program, in comparison with
other schools, where they would have one
critic for the entire class," Csordas said.
Design instructor Sue DeSanna has
been intricately involved with the shows
for the past
10
years. DeSanna, who in-
structs design students
fonn
sophomore
to senior year, accompanies seniors on
their trips to their designer critics.
DeSanna said the process begins in Sep-
tember with an idea. It then progresses
into a sketch, which is shown to the critic,
and eventually a garment is created.
"It's a cooperative endeavor among the
.
critic, the student, and myself," she
·
said .

DeSanna said a tremendous amount of

Hayden said Randazzo changed his
whole outlook on advertising.
The show will showcase the talents of
graduating seniors, as well as underclass-
men. Nine seniors will be showing collec-
tions of six outfits they have designed
and created. Members of the junior class
will each be introducing one garment. The
only restriction for the senior collections

in
one of his four lectures on Wednesday.
"We have to, by psychic archaeology,
peel back layers to get to dark places
people don't know they have," said
·
Randazzo.
Liam Hayden, a junior marketing major,
said this means when someone buys
something, they do not buy the product
they buy the brand.
"According to an article Randazzo wrote
entitled
Advertising Builds and Main-
tains Brands. By Creating Mytho-Sym-
bolic Worlds,
Hayden is correct in his in-
terpretation of Randazzo.
"Advertising transforms products into
brands by creating mytho-symbolic
worlds and associating them with a prod-
uct," said Randazzo.
Randazzo backs this up with examples
like Campbell's, Marlboro, and Harley-
Davidson, who have all created a myth of
what their product represents. For ex-
ample, Randazzo says that for Campbell's
soup, the mythic image is of a mother serv-
ing a bowl of soup to her child on a cold
In his last lecture of the day, Randazzo
spoke to a large class of advertising ma-
jors. He spoke about personal experience
on an ad campaign he recently worked on
for Mariott Hotels.
Randazzo said that in creating
a
blue-
print for an advertising campaign, one has
to figure out who the article is address-
ing, what to say to that target, and how to
say it. This is known in advertising terms
as the target, the message, and the execu-
tion.
Randazzo explained how the business-
man traditionally is considered to be a road
warrior, but the modem businessman is
not the money hungry type that existed
in the
I
980s.
"The businessman of the '90s is the 'En-
lightened Warrior' who works hard but is
not just about work," said Randazzo.
"Mariott is the caretaker to help that war-
rior
.
"
So, Randazzo's message for the Mariott
account became that the Mariott will help
you achieve mastery over the business
oflife.
Joe Didato,
a
junior advertising major,
said he thought there should have been
more time for
a
question and answer pe-
riod.
"I had a couple of questions I would
have liked to ask, considering he is a strat-
egy specialist, and I know other people
wanted to ask as well," said Didato.
However, Didato said he thought
Randazzo was impressive overall.
"I wish Marist would get more people
like him to come and speak," he said.
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR
During these last weeks of the spring semester,
whether you live off campus or not,
consideration for the people of the area,
in their homes and in their neighborhood,
is important.
The Marist tradition includes consideration
for and committment to the well-being
of our local communities.

THE CIRCLE,

Students share their hangover cures
by
GYNA. SLOMCINSKY
Feature Editor
Sunday mornings are harmful.
That is because Sunday morn-
ings are usually known as "hang-
over day."
According to Keith Owen, se-
nior finance major, a hangover
is a terrible experience.
"A hangover is having extreme .
nausea, your head pounding,
feeling like you are still drunk,
feeling dehydrated, and having
cotton mouth," he said.
Melanie Berrios, a junior fash-
ion design major, said hangovers
give people an uneasy feeling.
"You wake up in the morning
feeling icky," she said. "You just
don't want to be awake and
sometimes you get sick to your
stomach."
Saturday nights are big at
Marist College. Several students
hop around the few local bars left
standing.

Special to The Circle
Aahh ..... spring has finally
sprung!
It
is the season of
sunblock, dark shades, and win-
dows rolled down in the car.
Time for staying out late, wak-
ing up late, and ...... finding a
summer job.
Yeah, you knew it couldn't be
all fun and games, right? Well,
fret not, dear friends, for it is
about that time of year again-
time for the annual "Summer
Job/Internship Day" here at
Marist College.
What, you may be asking, ex-
actly is the "Summer Job/Intern-
ship Day?"
.
Well, it is only the best oppor-
tunity for you, as students, to
meet with prospective employ-
ers and find a summer job or in-
ternship. (And this opportunity
is open to all students, freshmen
and seniors alike).
As you know, it is never too
early to start thinking about your
future (Do I sound like your
mom, or what?), and -landing a
key summer job or internship in
your field is an excellent way to
get ahead.
And, unlike last summer, when
roasting on the beach ali day and
waitressing at night seemed like
a heavenly way to pass the time,
this year you will be able to put
something professional down on
your resume-as there is no way
to make "sundae machine opera-
tor" sound respectable.
So, whatdo you need to know
about "Summer Job/Internship
Day?" Well, it takes place on
Wednesday, April 16, in the
Cabaret from
14:00-2:00
p.m.
And, there is a major plus in-
volved-all employers will hav~
paid positions. •Better than ca-
sual dress encouraged,' which
means wear something your
mom would be proud of-:-no
shorts, no sneakers, no birks.
Also, it is recommended that
you bring along some resumes.
This is not mandatory, but rather
a strong suggestion. And don't
worry if you think your resume
is less than perfect.
This is what the Center for Ca-
reer Service Office is all about.
Just get something on paper-
anything--and bring it down
during "Walk-In Hours" and get
it
critiqued right there on the
spot, no appointment needed.
So, from one Marist student to
another, please take advantage of
this opportunity.
It really is a perfect way to talk
with summer employers, a
chance not everyone is
priviledged to receive.

dent, enjoys the class for many
reasons.
"I took fencing to learn the art
of fencing and I've always loved
swords," Reiser said. "It's a
greater discipline to learn about
the art of the blade than that of
the gun."
Jeff Novakauski, also a sopho-
more fencing student, said he
took the class for similar reasons .
"I took fencing to stay in
shape, and I am fascinated with
weaponry," Novakauski said.
In addition to_ mastering the
techniques, one must wear pro-
tective equipment, including a
mask, glove, and vest.
Massiala said fencing may be
offered again next year.
..I'd love to come back and
teach next year," she said.

even be
allowed through the door?
My fears quelled down a bit
upon entering the place. A typi.,-
cal Chinese restaurant, a com-
fortable darkness and chinoiserie
abound, meaning Chinese prints -
on the walls and Chinese um-
brellas covering the length of the
entire cejling. The only aberra-
tion was the motorcycle chick
tending the bar in leather regalia
and tattoos to match.
We were seated by 'Madame
Woo' the grand dame or what
one would call the matriarch of
the den. She gracefully led us to
our table, clutching her dainty
paper fan. We sat_ near the rear
of the restaurant where the 'girls'
were hanging out waiting for the
night to commence.
·
After I unsuccessfully tried to
get over the fact that they were
'he's,'
I
sat in amazement. To
me, aesthetics is still aesthetics,

I
said, about
a particular stunning waitperson,
"I
wanna look like her someday."
You know how girls get, flipping
through Cosmo in disgust, going,
"I hate her. Look, her legs are
unreal."
I
tried to concentrate on the
menu. It was just as exotic as
the staff. They offer Pan-Asian
cuisine, which is a mixture of all
the countries in Asia, particularly
along the Pacific Rim.
I
was expecting the usual
sweet and sour chicken and Lo
Mein. Was I surprised - to a de-
gree everything on the menu was
something I have never tried be-
fore. (And that's saying a lot
coming from me!)
Some of the appetizers were
steamed mussels:\,vith a gin and

and
Vietnamese marinated and
grilled Quail over mesclun
greens
($7.95).
Some of the en-
- frees read so colorfully: sauteed
soft~shell crab with a Wasabi
Honey Vinaigrette over ·greens,
crispy noodles and baby veg-
etables
($19.95).
The range of the kitchen was
very impressive, but it does
come with a hefty price tag. To
start, we shared a serving of
spring rolls which had a hint of
tangy peanut sauce. For dinner,
I
finally settled on the broiled
pork chop and navy beans sau-
teed with Bok Choy and Thai
Basil served with Yin Yang,
black and white sticky rice
($14.95).
Because we had made
early reservations, we were
served in no time, and our meals
were superb. Our server, Anita

Editor:
In the aftennath of last week's stonn, part of the campus was without power. It
made us realize how vulnerable we are. We have become so dependent on TVs,
telephones, radios, and computers. We are almost powerless without them be-
cause, then, we have no ways of communicating with each other. Our society has
become so technologically driven, that we do not know how to function without it.
However, once we strip away all these electronic gadgets, we still have one thing
left-interpersonal communication.
Friends have sent me several clippings on China since I arrived here on Aug.

this was incredibly effective, as it enabled them to reach the special-
ized groups of people they were scouring the globe for.
One of the problems with getting a look inside the mind of the
members of the Heaven's Gate cult (which would probably be about
as unnerving as hearing Mickey Rourke's answers to an ink blot
test) is that they were discouraged from communicating with their
families.
In fact, there really was not much contact between them in the
outside world.
This was probably because they knew they were not going to have
to put up with the hustle and bustle down on Earth for much longer.
Besides, who needs to go outside when there are episodes of
'Battlestar Galactica' and 'Space:
1999'
to watch?
The reports featuring family members are filled with stories like that
of Robert Maeder, whose daughter had joined the cult three years
ago.
Like other families of cult members, he received a handful of post-
cards throughout the years.
David Moore, who spent 21 years in the cult, only saw his parents
on two occasions. He stated that contact with family members would
"tug at his vibrational level."
Speaking of which, one of the biggest tenets of Heaven's Gate was
that one needed to renounce his or her sexuality. Apparently, this
was more difficult for some members of the group, as a significant
number of the men in the cult had been surgically castrated .
I guess if you are discouraged from ever seeing anyone else, and
you cannot even touch the other cult members, you have to find
some way to relieve your pent-up sexual frustrations. For these mem-
bers of the Heaven's Gate cult, the most logical thing was to get out
the old testicular guillotine.
Not that logic is really an appropriate concept here. What I cannot
figure out is that if they were no longer going to need their bodies,
what were all of the quarters for? Just in case the E-Z Pass on the·
Hale-Bopp comet did not work? Perhaps their souls were not as
clean as they had been told, and they might have had to stop at a
laundrymat somewhere along the way. It could be that the space
ship following the comet only has public phones. Or maybe they just
wanted to make sure they would be able to play Donkey Kong Junior
when they reach the great beyond.
Of c~urse, it is probably just another example of what a crackpot
plan this was. For whatever reason, Herff Applewhite, or Bo, or Do
or Don't ... whatever he was calling himself that week, felt the need t~
drag 38 people down into the disturbing hell that he created for
himself .
Worst of all, we do not know why he did it, or just what it was that
compelled these people to follow along. Most likely, we never will.

The program, "Unearthing the

According to Teichman, Roth

historical exhibits, gives lectures
to groups of all ages and pro-
duces pedagogic videos. He also
inaugurated the Children's Me-
morial Garden Million Pennies
Project, and he developed
teacher training seminars.
In
addition, as chairman of the
Speakers Bureau for the Shoah
Foundation, Roth is on the plan-
ning commission for the 1998 In-
ternational Scholar's Conference
on the Holocaust and the
Churches.
Roth also designed and di-
rected the building of the Holo-
caust Memorial Park at the Shel-
ter Rock Jewish Center in Roslyn,
NY, and he is the Holocaust
Center's link to the North Shore

Besides Roth, there will be other

which were buried during the Ho-
locaust and rediscovered many
years later.
The Shalom Singers will per-
form music from the time of the
Holocaust, and films about the
time
will
be shown in the Perfonn-
ing Arts room. The films include
"They Risked Their Lives," "The
Wave," "The Last Klezmer," and
"The Eighty-first Blow."
An award of $150 will be given
to the winner of the Mari st Holo-
caust Essay Contest. Half of the
money will go to a charity of the
student's choice. The essays
were
based
on Elie Wiesel's mem-
oir, Night. The program will con-
clude with a candle lighting cer-
emony in remembrance of all the
victims of the Holocaust.
Teichman, professor of English,
said he became interested in the
Holocaust because he lost aunts,
uncles and numerous cousins in
Poland and Belgium. Also, as a
student of literature, he noticed
that literary works were written
after the Holocaust by survivors,
and he wanted to know what
they were saying about the great
tragedy of our age.

De§i-,ite inaccess3bility, Kenneth Branagh'

is
· worthWliile
b; Christian_ Bladt
Opinion Editor ·
· It is perhaps one of the great-
est shames· of the cinematic
world in recent years that most
of you cannot get to see Kenneth
Branagh's "Hamlet" Not in the
sense that most people are turned
off by Shakespeare or
4
hour
long films, much less the com-
bination of the two ..
No, the· great shame is that the
film, which opened on Christmas
day, is still only playing at one
theater in the area: '.fhe Sony
Paris at 58th and 5th in Manhat-
tan. Sure, the film will eventu-
ally find its way onto video,
which will make it less of an en-
durance test, but the film will
lose so much when it is trans-
ferred to video. This is the case
with any movie, but, Branagh
makes ample usage of this film's
70mm film process. (Most films
are 35mm, so there will naturally
be twice as much of each image
lost).
Perhaps this is because of.the
two aforementioned reasons why
it the film is notexpected to have
much mainstream appeal, and,
thus, the film has not been
widely released.
Whatever the case it, it truly.is
a shame, as Branagh 's film· is an

Branagh should be c_ommended

Softball Sits on

After
a
string of bad weather
canceled what was to be their
first games up north, the softball
team finally· got under way ·1ast
week, going 3-3 overall
and 2-0
in NEC games: Marist, now
7-7
on the year, split two games with
the Yale Bulldogs, got swept by
St. Peter's of the MAAC, and
then swept conference foe Rider
on Sunday.
Against Yale, Michelle
Hudson started both games of the
doubleheader, soineihing she did
not do at all in'her junior season.
In the first game, Hudson gave
up three runs in six innings and
took the loss for Marist in a 3-1 ·
final. Kerri Harris drove inAn-:
drea Gagliardi with a double to
account for Marist's only run of
the game;
In
game number two;
Hudson·had the Bulldogs num-
ber, giving up only two hits and
two walks in complete game

slightly better on offense, as

game.

The Marist baseball team took
two out of three games against
Monmouth _in·a home and away
series last weekend. Senior Mark
Barron and' the rest of the Red
Foxes helped the team improve
its record
t<'>
13-8.
"I felt pretty:confident going
into the t}iird game
(cm
Sun- -
day)," Barron said.
-However, Saturday proved to
be a stalemate for the Red Foxes.
Maristwon the first game 3-0
and then lost the second game to
Monmouth 8-5. Barron's strong
arm, with a 0.60 ERA, and the
combination· of offensive pow-
ers Eric Becker (with a .323 bat-
ting average) arid freshman An-
thony Cervini (hitting .260),
proved to be the key factors that
helped Marjst wtn.
"Barron, Becker and Cervini
helped out; but as a team we did
all right in this series with
Monmouth," Coach John Szefc
said.
The first game seemed to be
the best Marist has played all
season.
"The first game was our best
game all season because we were
swinging at more pitches," Szefc
said.
Marist was then cruising in the
second game of Saturday's
double-header, until the last in-
ning. The Red Foxes were lead-
ing, 5-3, with one out in the top
of the seventh, when disaster
struck.
Becker pitched in ~he tying run,
making it 5-5.
A

hits produced two more runs for
Monmouth, before the :visitors
finished thelr scoring with an
RBI double. Marist came up in
the bottom of the im;iing, but the
Red Foxes 'could not get any-
thing going. with. tJle, bats, and
Monmouth held on for
a
come-
back win.
. _
"We just _seemed to have lost
our concentration,.we could not
nail the coffin on Monmouth,"
Szefc said. · ·
·
Despite the tqugh loss, Mari~t
came· back on Suriday at
Monmouth and won ..
"We knew we could win the
third game, as Iong·as we did not
dwell on our past loss," senior
George Santiago· said.
"If
we did
dwell on it, it would kill us."
"Monmouth is one of the
toughest teams in ,our ·confer-
ence," Barron said, in a previous
interview.
Last season Monmouth tied for
the league championship, and
the· team is predicted to finish
second in the Northeast Confer-
ence this spring. Monmouth also
boasts the defending NEC player
of the year, Aragona, who is the
ace of Monmouth?s pitching
staff. However, Aragona is cur-
rently sidelined due to a rotator
cuff injury. -
"Even though Atagona didn't
pitch against us, he
will
be there
in the end when we play
Monmouth for the conference,"
Szefc said.

That is just what they did
against the Rider Broncs on Sun-
day. Harris hit a three-run homer
in game one, the second of her
career and first on the season, to
lead the way in a 6-3 Marist win.
Hudson actually gave up six hits
and six walks in the game, but
her offense and defense bailed
her out.

Hudson needed no help in
game two, giving up just four
hits to earn her fourth shutout of
the season.
O'Donnell liked what she saw

the

battle blocking out your other

Orellana went on to add that,
despite the tough scheduling,
the team is starting to come to-
gether.
"We're becoming stronger as

· "We have strong unity and
·. team chemistry," Williams said.
"All we have to do is be consis-
tent and stay healthy."
The Red Foxes also posses
strong team leaders that keep the
team focused.
·
Lasker said the team has one
for practice and one for the
meets.
"Matt Pool is a very big moti-
vator for all our practices and Pat
Casey is our motivator for our
meets. The team always gets ex-
cited when he runs," Lasker said.
Melfi said the leadership and
motivation will come from the
seniors in general because they
have the most experience.
Williams said he agrees with
this.
"We have a lot of young guys
who are freshman and sopho-
mores on our team which means
we look up to the seniors for
leadership," he said.
The Red Foxes next meet
will
be the Columbia Invitational in _
New York City on April 12.
