McCulloch said that pedes-

especially with the Mid-Hudson
Business Center development.
She said she would completely
support anything to increase
pedestrian safety and prevent
any future accidents from occur-
ring.
The Route 9 crossing situa-
tion has also been the subject
of a Communications capping
course project. Tom Schwab,
and several other students
,
re-
searched the situation and pro-
posed a bridge as the most ad-
equate way to alleviate cross-

In their study they counted

and do not cross in the cross-

Schwab said he believes a sig-

enough and an accident is in

dicative that something needs
to be done to ensure the safety
of Marist students.
"I think.it is imperative that the
officials at Marist take the nec-
essary precautions so
that
something like this does not
happen again," said Schwab.

Though the umbrella brings can

Shadier side.
These days, many do not no-
tice the changes to because the
economy is good. However
,
,
when things slow down, we are
going to be looking at a homog-
enized, monopolized mess.
According to
The New York
Times,
"Accordipg to some ana-
lysts, Wal-Mart
.
stands to triple
its supercenter presence in. the
[Northeast] region in just two
years- an expansion that could
draw
$3 biIIion inore in annual
sales from an already crowded
marketplace
.
To put this figure
in perspective,
it exceeds the
1998 sal
e
s for any of the regional
chains- Ames
,
Bradlees, and
Grand Union
:
'
\
I
have tl:tought about my fear
·
a great deal. Sometimes
I
think
it is that "Bias against Arkan-
sas" which the Ciintons used to
express why the presidency had
come under fire. Since I
am
from
an urban area of the Northeast
,
·
I
hate the idea
·
of people from
.
Arkansas dressing like me and
.
vice versa
.
Like television has
begun to crush the regional dia-
lects of the United States, so
does Wal-Mart destroy the re-
gional quirks of style and cul-
ture.
However
,
there is more to my
hatred of Wal-Mart
.
I cannot
stand going from one city to the
next and not knowing where I
am if I am not looking at road
signs.
It seems that all across
the country, the same fran-
chises dominate restaurant mar-
kets, clothing chains, and just
about any other aspect1ofany-
thing that makes
·
moneyl · .
.
Wal-Mart may
,
be cheaper, at
the expense of the customer
.
If
Wal-Mart invades a market
place, it offers killer competi-
•
tion. Throughout the country
it has been the victor in the com-
petition battles and there is no
indication that it will falter in the
Northeast.
There are already signs of
Wal-Mart's sphere of influence
hitting our region. How long will
it take until there
are
no other
options for shopping but Wal-

suffer in a hell that is far worse
than death itself. I am sure that
if they could communicate, they
would ask to be killed before
enduring any of these miserable
acts.
Animals intended for meat or
egg production are regularly
neglected, beaten, mutilated,
and literally tortured alive. They
are crammed into s~all trailers
for days on end and in extre~e
weather, never get~ing food,
water, or an opportunity
.
to
move.
·
These animals trample
each other to death, defecate on
each other, or get abused by
uncaring drivers.
Once at the unloading area,
dead and almost dead animals
are dragged by tractor and piled
somewhere. The diseased are
left
in
yards without food and
water and die

hydration. The

same goes for coin-op games in

Jazz Poets Society performs at
Marist
Props to SPC for bringing the
Jazz Poets Society to the Caba-
ret on Tuesday, Feb. 9. This
event drew the most diverse
group of students together that
I have ever seen (besides orien-
tation). Although not packed
,
the Cabaret was full with stu-
dents who came to enjoy the mix
of funk; jazz, and hip-hop pre-
sented by the
Jau Poets Soci-
ety.
The group is originally from
Richmond, Virginia and has
-
been around for roughly three
years. The current lineup has
only been together for about
two years, with occasional
changes in the horn section.
Jazz Poets Society is composed
of eight people, including a gui-
tarist, bassist, dnimmer, saxo-
phonist, and trumpet player, led
by three vocalists, Nyaze, Mar-
tin Reamy, and Mamou.
During the show, members of
Jazz Poets Society called upon
the crowd for some interaction.
One
·
song was composed
around three central themes
supplied by the crowd: sexual
relationships, funk, and spiritu
-
ality. At another point in the
night members of the band
mocked the idea of bottled wa-
ter, saying "Next they'll have
bottled air."
Their set ranged from some
mellow jazz like tunes, some
slower hip hop songs reminis-
cent of
Tribe Called Quest, and
some faster, more lively songs
such as
Future in This. Near
the end of the set they played
an
amusing mix of several well-
known songs including
Slam
from
Onyx, Me Myself and I, and
an amusing mock interpretation
of
Noth in' But A G-thang. An-
other highlight was the song
What If which questions how
things would be different if one
event changed such as, "What
if Rosa Parks had a car?"
Jazi. Poets Society is cur-
rently signed to 5th Child
Records and while
_
looking for
wider distribution~
:
they seem
hesitant to
:
sign
io
a bigger la-
bel.
"It would be cool if we had
some more production but it's
not worth sacrificing creative
control which is what a lot of
big name labels want you to do,"
Brother Sunshine said.
The night went over well,
with a positive atmosphere en-
couraging diversity.
"We didn't know where we
were but it was definitely a cool
vibe," said drummer Brent
Jones.

and strongopinions
.,by,PAT.RICKWHITILE
A
&EEditor
Life teaches you a lot of
things' about yourself, and the
one thing it makes me sure of is
that I orily need to know two
things about myself: I like my
music fast and my hair short.
People tell me from time to
time that my articles do not ap~
peal to any particular audience .
at Marist.
I
usually say, "That
means I must be· doing some~
thing right,-dght?" On other
occasions
I
will be gre~ted by
someone who says he or she
really got a kick out of my ar-
ticle, and told a bunch of other
. people to read it. . Still others will
.. tell me they think my opinions
are asinine, my tone is cynical,
and my views are biased. And
I
can. not believe it took those
· people three years to finally fig-
ure that out.
What exactly
am
I getting at?
Looking around on this campus,
you see a lot of "individuals"
who look like carbon copies of
some revered, ideal Marist stu-
dent. No one is sure w_ho he is,
but we will just call him Joe
M.arist. He sports a New York
Yankees baseball cap, ~ome-
times turned backwards, wears
an Abercrombie
&
Fitch shirt
(Did
I
spell that right? Do I
re-
ally care?), and owns a vast ar-
ray of merchandise purveyed by
his alcohol of choice.- Probably
from Connecticut or Long Is-
land, Joe entertains a plethora
of racial misconceptions, espe-
cially for
a
student at such a pre-
dominantly white-bread school.
Joe maintains a sterling
2.5
GPA,
goes
to McCoy's two, perhaps
three times a
week,
and always
knows when to dazzle his Caba-
ret table with an astonishing
_stqry of_~_C?\Y he ~it:h~r ~ranl_c top
much. or messed around with
some infamous female Marist
student. Her name might be
Jane Marist, and she might wear
clothes that are too tight to.con-
ceivably breathe comfortably in;
and she might possess no
worldly opinions beyond
"These shoes do not match _my
purse," but thatis a whole new
can of worms.
A
band called
Ignition.
once
penned the lyric_s, "It's our
world, it's our voice/It's our life,
it's our choice/Speak loud,
speak truth." Judging from the
blankness of
The Circles
Opin-
ion section, which it seems must
be directly proportional to the
blankness that resides inside
what is underneath Joe Marist's
Yankee hat, those lyrics do not
apply here. This is the
A & E
section, however, and it seems
like we never have much of a
problem fi11ing space. My multi-
talented array of writers never
fail
in. keeping the campus
abreast of what is going on in
the world of music,
film,
theatre,
and, yes, midget-tossing. Plus, ·
some of them, too, like their
mµsic fast and their hair short.
(Note to self: you already used
that midget-tossing joke two
weeks ago, and it was not funny
then either.). Music
can
cause
ebullition just like protest and
public outcry:. it can plant the
seed of a thought in your head,
and that thought can lead to
action on
a
personal or univer-
sal level.
. Some of us are nearing
graduation, which means we
have the rest of our lives to con-
tend with the "real world." Is
this an end or a new beginning?
That depends on how you look
at
it.
You could spend the rest
There are a number of factors
stacked up against this band
that make it almost painful to
give this CD ,a positive review.
There is. their aforementioned
tour with lame bands, their con-
of your
life
trying to satisfy your
boss at some
9
to
5
job; or you
could spend
it
fruitlessly chas-
ing some hqpeless idealistic
dream. To quote
Farside,
_','Right temporarily defeated is
*()Ilgei: thllll ~vil.triull)ph~nt."
In. other words, chase'. your
dreams and
fail and you are still
chasing something. Working a
soulless job that 9nly satisfies
you with the paycheck you re-
ceive is the human equivalent
of a dog chasing its own tail..
Like the
Shelter
song of the
same name, you have the rest
of your life to keep yourself
Busy Doing Nothing-
and what
is labeled "success" strikes
some of us as just sheer frustra-
tion. Everyone needs to work
to stay alive, but perhaps it
makes sense to pursue-a career
doing something you know you
love even if it pays less than
being an accountant. Of course,
I mean no disrespect to anyone
whose dream in life is to be an
accountant.

Marist has a decent School of

of writing these kinds of tirades

the while, I never see myselflet-

all about sometime if you are
interested.
I
know each and
every individual here reserves
a
dream
of some kind in the back
of his or her Joe/Jane Marist
mind, and that, however buried
it might be, it is something that
stretches beyond "Go to the bar
and get wasted." If you enjoy
being young, then do not throw
away your final years when you
can still consider yourself a
"youth" and be taken seriously.
That, in brief, is why I like my

Give The.Chance
another chance
by
NIKBONOPARTIS
Staff Writer
When
I
came to Marist as a
freshman almost two years ago,
I had high ·expectations for the
school if not necessarily for the
town, but The Chance was a
welcome surprise when I first
discovered its existence. Its sort
of shocking to discover that
(gasp!) Poughkeepsie has a
music sc_ene worth mentioning.
And since The Chance is the
primary venue for music around
here, I can only say I was disap-
pointed when I read last week's
article trashing the place for a
set of unrelated incidents.
In
"Give Nonviolence A
Chance At The Chance," fellow
A
&
E writer Chris Knudtsen re-
lates the recent story of the em-
battled venue to our apathetic
Marist readership. Included
was·an account of one Mr. Jim
Jones, also known as "Jimmy
Bones" to his moshing peers. I
know quite well the story of
Mr.
Jones. So do
a
lot of people.
He is a regular moshpit tough
guy at local shows, and need-
less to say, his foot has found
its way into the midsection of
quite a few concert-goers in re-
cent months.
I
do not think it is
a tragedy that someone like Mr.
Jones was dealt with by secu-
rity. I think they should be dealt
with: Who wants some jerk
stepping on your head or
smacking you in the face when
you are trying to enjoy a show?
I do not care what kind of music
is being played, repeatedly hit-
ting other
people
in the audience
is usually grounds for getting
your a$$ whooped, and it should
have happened a long time be-
fore this.
But to those who still think
the bouncers at The Chance are
unnecessarily flexing their
muscle, consider the fact that
these guys are ripped. They are
diesel. Everyone knows they
are diesel. Does anyone really
think they need to go around
beating on skinny little
15 year
old boys to showcase their ath-.
letic prowess? Probably not.
And what is this aggression
that all the hard-core kids bring
to the shows? The entire scene
is filled with rich suburban kids
wearing Doc Martens and
overly large JNCOs. What ag-
gression does this scene lay
claim to? It is like, "So woe is
me, I must scream out in enraged
teenage angst because daddy
refuses to finance my new
Lexus, so now I must beat on
little girls in the moshpit and file
suit when the bouncers stop
me!"
I
have been to a lot of shows
at The Chance. Why are there
not incidents like this when
The
Machine
play
Pink Floyd
mu-
sic, or
The Slackers
take their
slow rocksteady-reggae to the
stage? The Chance does not·
seem to see much action on
those nights, perhaps because
a few key individuals are not
present.
My point is simple.
I
love
The Chance.
I
love music, and
I
love the fact that
I
can have
a
good time once in a while with"'
out having to drown my woes
in a can of beer and indulging in
vodka
'till
I
kneel to the porce-
lain Goddess. We are lucky we
have a place that will put up the
bands we love.
I
would hate to see that op-
portunity ruined by a few punk
kids.

the 5000m. The 25-lap race was
covered in record time and marks
not only another school record
but also a personal best for dis-
tance runner.
Perrine says that her fast times
are attributes to her hard train~
ing and her
religious following
of coach Kelly's workout
schedule.
"I
ttiink my recent races are a
result of training over winter
break and getting all my long
distance runs in," says Perrine.
Perrine was followed in the 3.1-
mile race by teammates Tara
Quinn in fifth and Erin Minor in
~ixth.
