Since Admissions took the

Art Gallery, said she did not
mind moving to tne lower level
of Greystone.
.
"We had no choice but to
move, since Admissions took
our old space,
"
she said.
According to English, the new
space is about one-third the size
of the old gallery. She said this
will affect the size of the shows.

"I
hope
they move it back next year."
It is still uncertain as to
whether the commuter lounge
will be permanently located in
the Student Center, or trans
-
ferred to the previous location
in Mid-Rise after construction
is completed.
According to Fielder
,
while the
new lounge improves commuter
life on campus, she also wants
to increase commuter's partici-
pation in student activities.
_
/'.
A
goal of mine is to build com-
muters' relationship
with
resi-
dent students
,"
she said. "Also,
I want people who aren't com
-
muters to see what we do."
Fielder hopes to accomplish
this by collaborating with stu-
dent government
,
and co-spon-
soring activities with other clubs
and organizations on campus.
She also is talking with admin-
istration about having a person
from a different area of the col-
lege to come and speak on top-
ics of interest to commuters.
"I'd like for various faculty
members to speak about hot
topics, that is, those areas of
student interest
,
" Fielder said.
"Hopefully this will help the
commuter students feel more
connected to the administration
and for the administration to
identify the needs of commut-
ers."
Fielder, who previously was a
freshman mentor in Leo Hall, is
looking forv:ard to her first year
as commuter mentor
.
She re-
places former commuter mentor
Sue Lozinski who accepted a
high school teaching position.
'Tm excited about the chal-
lenge. I've had experience be-
ing a mentor
,
and now
I
will ex-
perience some different aspects
of mentoring," said Fielder
.
Fielder is also looking to the
commuters themselves to con-
tinuously improve their life here.
Commuter Senators, Erica
Deragila and Tori Neville have
plans to improve commuter's
presence in student govern-
ment.
,
According to Deragila
,
there
are plans to start a tutoring
pro-
gram within the commuter popu-
lation.

which is broadcast four times

work.
This New York native was
named "CBS New Sunday
Morning" anchor in 1994, <,!nd
was co-anchor of the "CBS ·
Morning News" and a contribu-
tor to the ~'CBS Evening New
with Dan Rather" until I 992. He
also anchored "CBS Sunday
Night News" for nearly a de-
cade, and was a principle re-
porter for the CBS science
broadcast, "Walter Cronkite's
Universe."
About 20 Marist students at-
tended the reception, including
senior, Kevin Lundy.
Osgood sat down with all the
students in a round table dis-
cussion which Lundy said was
exciting.
"It's weird to see him on the
TV and then hang out with them
and see how they are," Lundy
said. "He was one of the nicest,
down to earth people."
Lundy said the round table
started off with Osgood giving
a three-minute background
speech, and then opened it up
to student's questions.

in Biosphere 2
by
JAIME ANDERSEN
Staff Writer
Helen Stahlin, junior, ventured
to Arizona this summer to work
inside one of the most incred-
ible scientific experiments ever
designed.
Stahlin, a double major in en-
vironmeJ'!tal policy and second
-
ary education, applied to Co-
lumbia University in hopes of
being accepted into its summer
program, which would earn her
the opportunity to actually work
inside Biosphere
2,
a self-con-
tained sealed environment.
.
Stahlin said the project was
originally designed to see if hu-
mans could live in an enclosed
area on the planet Mars. The
structure was a world all in it-
self.
"The entire structure is made
of glass,'.' she said. "Everything
inside the structure would be
recycled, and all waste would be
taken care of."
.
Originally the project was pri-
v~tely owned, and those partici-
pating in the experiment had to
remain inside the gigantic
"green house" for two years.

All of these normally separate
ecosystems exist together in-

What was particularly interest-
ing and rewarding for Stah)in
was that those who travel to
Oracle to see-Biosphere
.
2 may
only do so from the out.side.
Stahlin, however, was able to go
inside and become a part of the
little self-contained world.
WhHe there, Stahlin stayed in
dorm apartments about a ha

a mile away from the Biosph
_
ere.
She said her main purpose in
the project was to study the en-
vironment as a complete
.
sys-
tem. In order to accomplish this
task Stahlin and others took a
field trip to t~e Grand Cany01:i
fora week.
"It was amazing, we had to
hike the canyon, and map
all
of
the geological changes," she
said.
Stahlin also traveled to Mexico
for four
.
days, to study estuary
systems and tidal pools.
She said the group was study-
ing the effects of industry on
these systems.

Cellucci, visual effects pro-

spoke Sept.
_
15
to a crowd fuli of
"Titariic" lovers in
·
the Nelly
Goletti Theatre. She explained
many of the visual effects in the
movie .
.
Cellucci, who attended Uni-
versity of California at Berkeley,
said she had not planned on
getting into a career in visual
effects, but saw an opportunity
and grabbed on to it .
.
"While I was at Berkeley I
tried getting a job at the film
company
'
Industrial Light and
Magic," she said, "and just
when it looked like I was going
to get a job I asked them if I
could take Tuesdays and Thurs-
days off because I was still a
student."
Since she was a student the
company would not hire her, so
Cellucci convinced executives
to let her start an internship pro-
gram with them. They agreed
Ph010 coune,,y of
Bob
Lynch
Camllle Celluccl talked about her experi-
ences working on the movie ''Tltanl_c."
and she ended up staying there
for six years working on such
films as "Who Framed Roger
Rabbit," "Willow," and "The
Abyss."
"I just had to create an oppor-
tunity for myself," she said.
"I
got a lot of great experience and
made a few connections."
In
1993
Cellucci got a produc-
ing position at Sony Pictures
Imageworks where she pro-
duced effects for several mov-
ies including "Look Who's Talk-
ing Now." She worked at Sony
until last April; it was then she
got an unexpected phone call.
"I
was driving along and all of
a sudden I get beeped," she
said. "So
I
pull over and I call
and the guy says 'Hi, Camille.
It's Jim Cameron and
I
want you
to help me work on "Titanic."
A week and a half later she
was working on the epic film.
She said many of her peers told
her she was crazy.
"Everyone was like 'what are
you doing, what are you think-
ing, the movie's going to be a
flop,"' she said laughing.
"I
think they were wrong."
Because there were not any
studios with water close by that
were large enough for the movie,
Cellucci said they had to build
theirown studio in Mexico. She
said it took
I
00 days to build
the boat from bottom up, with
construction going on day and
night. She said the group also
had to make their own cable be-
cause there were not any com-
panies that could produce the
140
miles that was needed. The
filmmakers also built their own
hydraulic system that flooded
the boat one-foot per minute.
Cellucci said authenticity was
very important to the produc-
ers. Companies, which made the
carpeting, silverware, and even
the buttons on the clothes, were
sought out for the movie. Spe-
cial boot camps on etiquette and
sinking survival were held for
extras. Even the breath that
came out of the sailors' mouths
had to be perfect.
Although the movie takes
place several decades ago, there
was a lot of technology from
today used to enhance it. Many
scenes, such as the long cam-
era sweeps across the boat, were
filmed with a green screen. Film-
ing with a green screen means
the actor acts out his part in
front of a green screen and later
on the background is filled in
.
Model boats were used to film
water motion when sailing and
then those wave motions were
added into the movie
.
Also,
computer enhanced dolphins
were added in the water
.
Senior Lara Daghlian, who has
seen
'
Titanic" five times
,
said
she enjoyed listening to Cellucci
speak.
"It
was really interesting to
have someone from the movie
come in and talk," she said.
Ben Winters, senior, said
Cellucci gave him a new per-
spective on the movie
.
"I
think ifl watched the movie
again
I would probably be think-
ing more about the special ef-
fects," he said.
"Titanic," co-produced by
20th Century Fox and Para-
mount, has grossed more than
$1.2 billion in movie theaters.
The movie, which stars
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate
Winslet, won
11
Academy
Awards, including best picture
and director.
Cellucci said the most impor-
tant thing she has learned from
working on "Titanic" is to never
give up.
"If
you have an idea or vision
that you want to try go ahead
and try it," she said, "because
you'll never know unless you
do."

to worry about staying healthy
and feeling well.
Wellness is more than just ex-
ercising and eating healthy. It
involves one's emotional,
physical, spiritual and intellec-
tual health. When all these com-
ponents are balanced, the body
and mind can experience com-
plete wellness. This is an holis-
tic approach to life.
There is no purpose to a great
body with a stressed out mind,
or a stressed out body with a
great mind. Like the philosopher
John Locke once \Vrote, "A
sound mind in a sound body is
a short but full description of a
happy state in the world."
To help students understand
how to achieve wellness, Marist

bring in more money.
LIBRA: It's nice to
have Mercury in your
sign. It means you're
able to think more
clearly. But when it's in
Libra,
it
also might
mean you're coming
up with more options.
That means you have

difficult for Libra. So,
just make your choices

Since I was a freshman, women~ albeit prostitutes and drug-users have been
disappearing. Poiice had a sketch of th
,
e victims- ligh_t-skirmed, dark hair,

and

under 5' 4. This sketch matches most of.the women at Manst;
_
and yet we were never
aware of the dangers;

:
.
.
For many students, i
_
t was only after the arrest of KeridaU Francois cut off Days of
Our Lives
that they were even aware a serial killer might exist
.
in Poughkeepsie. I'm
sure the suppression of this news was_ in the interest of maintiiining stabHity on
campus, and in admissions enrollment, but my contention is that students should've
been made aware of the danger anyhow.
.
.
,

·
I tis the administrations responsibility to keep
·
us infonned. Many of us are not
from this area, and therefore not aware of what niay occur in Poughkeepsie during
the summer, or before we began school.
.
.
,
.
I've been on the tours, and even given a few. The official word is that Poughkeepsie
is a city, and should
be
regarded as such. They tell us not to walk alone at night, but
give no reasons to support their claims.
.
.
Students should not have to rely on RNN f<:>rinfonnation. M<;TV and
The Circle
should've kept the students briefed on the occurrences. At Vassar after th~ arrest,
students were given up-to-date information. 600 students attended the bnefings,
and yet across the city, Marist remains oblivious.

So does the Core add \o ~e qijalityofeducati01,, a11d by extension, to the quality
of life? It certainly does.
Why
then do
we
at Marist shroud its value of.mystery?
Why not make its importance explicit to our stu~ents so they
_
m
_
ay benefit from the
personal
_
development for which ihe Core is in
_
tended? Assuming my ·experience
was typ
_
ical of a Marist College studen~, and considering the feedback I now receive
fro111 my students, many do not have the foggies~ notion of the significance
_
of what
is arguably the most important part of their ~.ducation .
.
I suppose I was one of the
·
lucky ones who had
a
Prof. who took the time to open my
_
eyes to why a liberal
arts
education matters, butJcan't help wond~ring why something so critical was not
discussed before senior year-:and for many students, not at all.
·
•
Moving forward however, perhaps, the best and most !asting lesson we can teach
our students is that, regardless of major, the actualization of the Core's potential is
that which makes them "educated" and that which makes them better prepared for
"life
after Marist."

In addition, the books on this

in some cases, detrimental to,
·women.The vast majority of the
books on the shelf focus on re-·
lationships, diets, and exercise.
By making relationships and

section, the bookstore is per-
petuating negative stereotypes
about women. Not only does
this imply that women's only
concerns are with maintaining
their appearance and relation-
ships, but it also conveys the
message that these issues
should be women's primary
fo-
cus.
I request that the Marist Col-
lege Bookstore challenge these
inaccurate and unjust assump-
tions by remedying the situa-
tion. I do not believe that'it is
necessary for diet books to
be
placed i_n a section for women.
Instead, they should be placed
under a_category such as fitness
· and health, as books about re-
lationships should be placed
under the title of relationships.
Women are capable deciding

need a sign indicating where we
can or are supposed to shop.
I
would like to see a "Women"s
Studies" sections replace the
"Women's Interests" section.
The academic women's studies
books that ideally ,vould stock
the shelves would allow mem-
bers of the Marist community
to educate themselves, not only
about women's history (which
has been excluded from "main-
stream" texts), but also as to how
gender issues, such as the one
1 am writing about, negatively
impacts the lives of women.
·· I request that each member of
the Marist conimunity. includ-
ing students: faculty. and staff.
challenge such inaccurate and
unjust assumptions. I think
Americans have developed a
sense of ··political correctness"
that h'as allowed us to consider
how our words and behaviors
·can impact certain populations
in America. I do not believe that
such an awareness of how sex-
ist assumptions impact women
has become as widespread. We .
need to start looking at issues
through a lens of gender. in
or-
der to see how offensive stereo-
types impact women. It is time
that women get
a
fair share of
the world's considerations.

Clinton's.fate is
in
our hands
Many ha\le expressed an opin-
ion that Bill Clinton needs to
stand in the corner with a ·dunce
cap on. After all, he did the un-
thinkable with a young girl in -
the White House.
'But what do we kno~ today
that we didn't know in 1992
when we elected him, or re-
elected him in 1996? His moral-
ity was brought to th~ forefront
immediately, in '1991 when he
came in second at the Demo-
cratic
P.rimary
in
New
Hampshire
to Paul Tsongus. He. issued a
statement about his marital dif-. _
ficulties, and from then on the
Republican
Party
began issuing
a brutal assault on Clinton's
morality.
. · What has changed? We voted
Clinton into office, so why
· should we punish him? His
election and reelection was ·
a
·steadfast conviction: we do not
care about morality. To want to
.
punish him for this is hypocriti-
cal.
.
If we force the president out
of office, either by making him
feel he must resign to avoid im-
peachment or by actually im-
peaching him, then aren't we
· passing the blame? To force
Clinton out of office," we
are
ef-
fectively admitting an irrespon-
sible vote (since our knowledge
of the President has not been
changed by the scandal). Rather
then force him out, we should
hang our heads in shame for the
next two years, and let the world
view the most powerful nation
in the world at its most ridicu-
101.is moment. Perhaps Clinton
should not be punished, and we
should be punished by continu-
ing to hail this man who is called
by the human race, "Leader of
the Free World."
However, if Clinton leaves his
office, it will
be
the second time
in twenty-five years that the
mighty USA has aborted its
leader. It would be foolish to
project such an unstable posi-
tion, especially to such an un-
stable world. With the economy

In the beginning there was
darkness. The air was thick and
heavy. Nine souls floated in the
universe we knew. Twisting,
contorting, we tried to fly with
broken wings. We lived in a
revolution and we were the de-
serters. We deserted ourselves
to acquiesce to the dark lord
whose wrath was far worse than
the loneliness we found within.
He trod upon our spirits and we
inhaled his sins. Defeated by
our circumstances, the remain-
ing eight waited for one to face
the fury of his evil. Many years
we waited and no one stepped
forward. So I, the youngest,
rose from out of the shadows
that. had become our safety to
embrace the light.
Scared. but desperate, I be-

longer was the world inhabited
by distant, blurred masses. The

vide a steady anchor to the
world economy by rallying be-
hind our President and proving
that nothing can rock the sturdy
foundation of the USA. We
should embrace the embar-
rassed President and move on.
Our history should remind us
that the presidency is bigger
then any one man. Our history
has two hundred years of iner-
tia, and our Constitution pre-
vails regardless of human mis-
takes. Why are we afraid
to
dis-
miss a president that has dis-
graced the office, regardless of
the world climate? On the same
token,
.
why are we so
.
afraid to
move on and forget this embar-
rassment?
It seems we
are
desensitized
in our age to making decisions
about morality. I am sure that
most people believe adultery is
·
not a good quality of leadership.
·
Why, then, are we so quick
to
say "but itdoesn't really effect
the job of the president?" What
is so horrible about making a
decision on pure morality?
.
we
should have the strength as a
nation to say (assuming that we
want to, that is), "You betrayed
us. Leave in shame. We won't
tolerate this!'' Such
a
bold,

might
be the best example of leader-

The biggest detri
.
ment to our
nation at this time comes
·
from
the vidous insider political
wars. The national constituency
can save our nation from world
embarrassment by rising above
the Ken Starr reports and mak-
ing a bold, national decision.
Disgusting details are not an
issue. An issue is whether or
not we consider the presidency
a special office
,
in which we
hold the president to certain
codes of moral standards. We
hired the President and pay his
salary.
It
is for us to decide
whether we the employers con-
sider our own reputations re-
flected in our workers. We are
the holders of power, and it is
for us
to
decide.

I wonder if the average Marist

they are to be in a school with
as many resources as Marist.

to be involved in our surround-
ings. Wejoin clubs under the
pretense that we will make a dif-

Yet,
I
look around and

see we must be per-

lack of action can be interpreted
as such.

Viilce Gill off ends my stereo, texas style
by
PATRICKWHITILE
A & E Editor
Ordinarily the thought of lis-
·
tening
-
to, let alone taking the
valuable time write about a Vince
Gill
CD,
would have honified me.
However since
i
Big Vinny was
.
courteous enough to send The
Circle
a
free CD, his riew release
"The Key" was newsworthy.
·
:
The best way to describe his
-
music is to paraphrase Kyle from
''South Park"; it is cheesy and
lame yet eerily soothing at the
same time.
I am decidedly not a fan of
country music. In fact, the only
time
I
have ever watched
"The
Nashville Network" was when
niy
roommate's
·
remote control
ran out of batteries and
.
I
.
was
too lazy to make the eight-foot
.
tre
.
~ to
'.
the idiot box: Conversely,
.
'
,
.
my first listen to Mr.: Gill's CD
made me.want to throw itoff of
an 80-foot cliff. He does pos-
sess good range and keeps his
Southern drawl modestly under
wraps. When our boy rips
·
into
the occasional
_
emotional out-
burst is when "The Key" begins
to
fall
short. His attempts at love
songs really hit me
.
where it
hurts,
·
over and over and over
again. Repeatedly.
With
the
force of a fully encumbered
pickup truck. -The "s~and ouf'
number on this thirteen'-track
assault on the eardrums has got
to be
''I'll
Take Texas." I'll take
deportation to just about any
state,
·
country; or province over
this CD. Big Vinny's duet with
Patty Lo.veless on '
.
'My Kind of
Woman/My Kind of Man" left
me more than
a:
'
bit loveless.
What's the best lyric on this
celebration of life, love and re-
gret in the land of grits and.
honey? Try, "The pain oflQsin'
him cuts like a
.
Randall knife/I
learnecl a few chords on the
banjo was the key to Hfe."
I
must giv!! credit where
-
it is
due though.
If
you've ever lost
a love or basically had anything
bad of any kind ever happen to
you, there is something on this
CD you can relate to. Gill truly
does have a lot of passion in
his work, and I can feel that he
really· does meari it when he
says, "I'd get up off this barstool
if you'd play
something
we
could dance to." His just diffi-
cult to accept this obvious sin-
cerity when it is delivered
.
through a voice with all the
subtlety of the warbling of a
castrated sparrow. Can spar-
rows even be castrated?
I
di-
gress.
I think Vince Gill has
a
bright
future ahead of him if he
chooses to cross over into more
mainstream American popular
music. I see great things in the
possibility of a tech no remix al-
bum. Possibly he could join a
Buddhist monastery and do
a
nifty all-chanting album. Thich
Nhat Hanh, are you listening?
Perhaps he could even don a
checkered suit and
go
ska.
I
think there is quite a market for
plaid cowboy hats out there.
There must be some genius in
his work that I am just not privy
too, because judging by his se-
lect discography he has been
quite prolific. There is even a
"Christmas
With
Vince Gill"
video.
I
am sure it is pure cin-
ematic brilliance, but
I
could
probably get the same effect if
I
watched my brother ride the
quarter-operated bull outside
my local supermarket. Espe-
cially if it was snowing at the
time.•
Vince Gill's new painfully full-
length release "The Key" really
made me think about why other
countries are fed up with Ameri-
can export.
I
have come to the
conclusion that this kind of
music is essentially
a
scam to
balance the influx of bad Euro-
dance music we have been
flooded with. MTV should se-
riously consider making their
next "Celebrity Death Match" an
encounter between Big Vinny
and
crew
and Ace of Base. Un-
til then,
i
will always have a
spe-
cial place in my sock drawer for
"The Key."

.
.
Anyway, Rosy took the point,
I
headed the right flank and
Leonard took the rear as we con-
tinued down
.
Esopus Cree_k.
What we saw next could only
be described as a bad acid trip.
We were in God's country and
in a place void of urbanization,
sources of entertainment are lim-
ited. After rounding a comer,
my stomach dropped as my eyes
fell upon two men and two
sheep. I was speechless and
revolted. No they were not do-
ing that. Get your mind out of
the gutter you filthy animal.
Two tubes were docked on the
riverbank and
Sweet Home Ala-
bama played on an inexpensive
transistor radio. The men were
obviously drunk, holding cans
of Budweiser and sporting cut
off dungarees. I'm not sure if
the sheep had been drinking or
not but they were being some-
what flirtatious because the men
were dancing with them. They
circled the two animals; laugh-
ing, stumbling, singing, dancing
and poorly recreating the
sheep's mating call.
The team was quite perturbed
by this atrodous site and we
were about to come unglued
when Rosy reminded us that we
had a job to do. The second
section of rapids got ugly. James
Watson,
codename
Sasquatchtrash, was manning
the left flank and he ran into a
little bit of trouble. Along the
right the fastest and most vio-
lent. A fallen tree protruded out
over the river, lying eighteen
inches above the surface and
Watson was headed right for it.
Rosy ordered him to abandon
tube but his ego got the best of
him. Falsely assuming that he
could steer out of harm's way,
he rode right into it. Thrown
from his tube, he
struggled
to
stay above the surface and
clung to the tree for dear life. I
actually saw him mouthing the
Hail Mary and although the rest
of the team and I should have
helped him, we were too busy
laughing.
Some stretches were quick and
semidangerous, while others
were slow and relaxing. The ride
lasted an hour and a half and
the team made it out unscathed.
If you are interested in tubing,
Esopus Creek is located in
Phoenicia. Get
off
exit 19 on the
thruway (87) and hop on route
28 west.
If
you' re a rookie, I
highly recomm
_
end a helmet and
additional padding for the
knees, elbow, chest, and groin.
If
you want to go tubing and
you're not white trash, you will
have to undergo a temporary
transformation or the veteran
tubers will either mock you or
assault you with inner tubes. [
did not require any transfonn-
ing but many of you probably
will.
If
you are interested in more
infonnation on tubing, contact
the Student Activities office.
And no, I would not advise that
you try it in the Hudson River.

concert at Waryas Park for the
Hudson

River Aits Festival.
They played an intensfve

set
thatlasted for about an hbur of
pure swing ska that led the
crowdonto the stage; including
members of all ages and races.
Promoting a sense of unity while
having as much fun as possibie
was what the day was an about.
Opening the day on the stage
was Marist College's very own
MidHudson Pork
who have

been together for the·last three

years. They were asked to play
only two days before the con-
"Skunk") eyes there seems to
be a lack of support lately
.
"It
just seems like there's this
big nationwide problem, there's
no unity anyrnore, the hard-core
kids won't support ska and vice
versa while the punk kids are
somewhere in between," Chris
said. "People just need to come
out and see more bands instead
of sitting around watching
MTV."
.
.
.
The band aiso addressed the
fact that they encourage the
stfaight edge ideas but at the
same time they try not to be
preachy about it.
"People have to make their
own d
.
ecisions so we're just try-
ing to help
,
you know," Chris
said.
"It
just gets to me that kids
think they're being rebellious by
drinking, meanwhile Anheiseur
Busch is a multi-billionaire cor
-
poration run by some middle-
aged guy who couldn't care less
about them."
cert after the
'
original opening
band had canceled. A Marist
alumni contacted Junior Jon
Murray to
ask
if they could play
on such short notice and
_
the
band agreed.
The second band was
Peifect
Thyroid
who played an ener-
getic set that'also got the crowd
involved by singing along to
some of their more popular
songs
.

There are many bands today
that try to promote unity in the
punk/ska/hard-core scene; and
one of those is
Peifect Thyroid
who had

an electric perfonnance
at the Hudson River Arts Festi-

mixing swing ska with pop punk

A large portion of the book is
also told through the perspec-
tive of dreams, taking the reader
into the subconscious minds of

ct the
prophecies they dreani of
.
He
paints a landscape of a post-
apocalyptic world in which de-

also works incredibly well with
Brook's playful and descriptive
writing style. He is
.
one of the
few authors who
·
can create a
range of moods without giving
up the plot in the process.
The only drawback to "A
Knight Of The Word" is that it
gets repetitive at times, espe-
cially in descriptions of physi-
cal attributes. Brooks also has a
way of stereotyping his charac-
ters, especially when he creates
dialogue. This does not change
the fact that A
