byKYLEWOOD
Staff Writer·
The'
chapel
is
th~ latest
in
a
· long line of consfriictfon
projects occurring here at
Marist.
"Vision 2000, building a
unique f,.merican campus," has
inea.nt a.lot of.changes in the
·buildings arouri'd caf!1pus. 'The
new Fontaine academic build-
_ing is scheduled to be ready for
the beginning ofih~ fali :.Semes-
ter. And by the end of this se-
mester work should have begun
on the waterfront and nature
areas.
Currently- the library is being
built and the_ chaperis exten-
sively being reinodeled.
.
The. chapel is ·not being en- .
larged orremfideled on the out-
side, rather.the inside is.being
refashioned.,
.
_ .

New pews,- carpeting and stai~ed glass windows are part of the chapel renovations.
· Bfother FrankKelly, director
-o{campus ministry, -said the
chapel really needed to be re-
furbished:
· · ·
"This is an excellent thing.
The pews were in terrible shape
and we were in desperate need
of new ones," he said. "Every-
one seems to be pleased with
the new pews."
Along with new pews the
chapel received new kneelers.
Besides these two major items,
the chapel has been repainted
and a fire alarm system was es~
tablished. _ -.
_
· Syde _Kopstein, office managei:
of the physical phmfoffice, said
it was finally time for the chapel
to be renovated.
. .
''This is
the
perfect time for us
to remocfel the chapel, with the
new library being built," she
said.
But the major portion of reno-
vating the chapel has yet to
come. In addition to what has
already been done, thei:e will be
new carpeting put down and
stained glass windows installed.
Kelly said the new windows
will really complement the build-
ing.
"The carpeting was ·a plus and
the stained glass windows will
,add a sense of beauty- to the
chapel as a whole," he said.
"It
-will now be more conducive to
prayer and quiet thought."
Sophomore Doug Deiss was
thrilled to find out that the
chapel was being. remodeled.
"For something that is such a
.vital part.of the Marist commu-
nity, it should be kept up and
maintained, and I feel that this
was money well spent," he said.

Bruce Luske, assistant profes-
sor of sociology, ha'.s taug{lt
classes
for-
the Institute and is
.-oiiits Boa:i-d of Directors repre-
senting Marist College, He said
· that Marist students have been
involved in the courses.
''There have been Marist stu-
-
dents in all of the courses," he
said. The first course was
Transportation; the second wa~
Welfare, then Ethnicity in the
· City. The one scheduledfornext
year is Housing. .There have
been · two to four Marjst stu-
dents in each one."--"'~"'
According to its rnissio_n state-
ment, "The Poughkeepsie Insti-
tute aims to ·offer the City of
Poughkeepsie a~ade~ic re-
sour~ from five area colleges
[Bard, Dutchess Community,
Marist, New Paltz, andVassar]
to help inform and develop com-
munity initiatives in collabora-
tion with local political, ~·odal,
religious; and business leaders .
Simultaneously, the Institute
seeks to augment the experien-
tial dimensions of the intelle,c-
tual life of both ·students and
faculty by fostering a formal and
vibrant relation with the city."
· I..uske also said that the stu-
dents benefit from the atmo-
_· sphere of the institute.
"Students get to study with
other students· from ·different
colleges and there are cultural
and class differences," he said .
"Vassar is an upper class school.
DCC tends _to be a blue collar or
lower middle class school.
People bring different strengths
to the community table."
The student governments of
the colleges involved, under the
urging of Vassar Student Gov-
ernment President Evan
Greenstein, have become in-
creasingly involved.
Colleen McCulloch, student
body president has been in-
volved in the expansion of the
Poughkeepsie Institute.
"[I was contacted] about the
possibly of getting more student
input," she said.
"The
Poughkeepsie Institute is re.:_
sponsible for teaching classes
on issues facing the community.
By also applying the student
government, including a stu-
dent wing of the Poughkeepsie
Institute, we hope to put more
energy into it and expand on
cultural components."
_
"The Poughkeepsie·
Institute aims to of-
. fer· the City of
· Poughkeepsie aca-
peinic resources
from five area col-
leges."
Mission Statement
Tomorrow, McCulloch will be
meeting with the mayor of
Poughkeepsie, along with stu-
dent representatives of the
other colleges. They will dis-
cuss the application of a Stu-
dent Wing of the Poughkeepsie
Institute.
If
approved, two mem-
bers from each of the area col-
leges will meet regularly each
month to add a student perspec-
tive to the current institute.
McCulloch and the other stu-
dents have many ideas arid is-
sues they would like to contrib-
ute to the in~titute, according
to McCulloch.
"One of the ideas for the group
is that next year we sponsor a
'Community Day' in the Main
Mall where all of the colleges
come together," she said. "Right
now we are working on a Walk-
a-Thon for the end of this se-
mester. We want to talk to and
share ideas with the people who
run the classes and projects
they work on. We want to help
and make the classes better and
get more students involved."
began in January, during winter
break. · So far, while the chapel
has been undergoing these
changes, services have contin-
ued.· Most likely the stained
glass windows will ·not be put
into until after the second se-
mester ends.
The chapel should be finished
for the beginning of the· fall se-
mester and it will fit right in with
the new library and new aca-
demic buildings that should be
finished at that time also.
The chapel has never been
remodeled this extensively
since its inception in
1953.

Members of the Junior class
were all decked out in their for-·
mal attire for the festivities this
past· weekend.
The arinual Junior Weekend
for the class of 2000 was kicked
off this past Friday, Feb. 26 at
the Sheraton Hotel.
·
Friday was the beginning of
the weekend celebration for the
Class of 2000. The class hosted
their seini-fonnal at
the
Sheraton
in Poughkeepsie: · The dance
started at
8
p.m: and ended at
midnight.
'
Maureen Sacchetti, junior
class president, said she felt the
dance was a success.
"Everyone seemed t9 have a
great time," she said.
According to Sacchetti, over ·
230
students attended the

a lot offun to be able to spend
the time with friends."
The Ring Ceremony started at
3 p.m. on Saturday from the
chapel and ended around 4:15
p.m. Out of about 800 students
in the Junior Class, roughly 150
received rings. Sacchetti noted
_that this number is also up from
previous years.
"This year's ring sales almost
doubled lastyear's," she said.
Sacchetti said· that this cer-
emony, too, was successful.
Including parents, attendance
was rioted to be around 480
people.
All students who purchased
rings from Artcarved, received
a wooden jewelry box with the
Marist emblem engraved on
it
from the company.
; The funding for this w~ekend,'
for the most part, was covered
by ticket sales- an:d-nng sales.'
Sacchetti said the tick:et sales
covered the cost · of the
Sheraton and the ring sale was
also used as a fundraiser. The'·
financial board provided money
for
the DJ and the decorations.
Sacchetti said she enjoyed the
entire weekend.·

Debate team eyes success
in national competition
byTHEACIMMINO
Staff Writer
The Marist College debate
team has taken on the entire East
coast this semester.
· The debate .team has traveled
from Miami to Montreal mark-
ing its territory as it went along.
Mrui.st's team consists of less
.than 20 individu.als, which is
smaller thaq most teams.
Debate team member, Brian
Konash, said the team is doing
exceptionally well.
''The Marist debate team is
kicking butt," he said. "For the
· size of our team we're an over-
bearing burden for this region."
The team traveled to Louisi-
ana over semester break · and
competed in the I Have A Dream
Tournament at McNeese State
University. 'I)ie team of Mark
Smith and Stephen McDonald
won second place in the Nov-
ice division.
·
The following weekend, the
teams of Brian Konash, Brad
Stevenson, Justin Spina and
Mark Smith made it to quarter
finals in the Hurricane Debates
at Miami University.
This year's debate topic is civil
rights under Title 7 of the Civil
Rights Actions of 1964. The
focus is on affirmative action.
The Marist debate team use
one standard affinnative plan
for the entire season. The cur-
rent plan is that there should be
rriore minority ownership in pro
sports in America. This would
decrease the general perception
of racism in national sports.
Konash said this year's affir-
mative plans have some real
· substance to them.
"Debate requires intense
thought on every word you
say," he said. "I could totally
see real policies coming out of
this year's debate plans because
real thought and research has
gone into them."
In the last weekend of Janu-
ary
the team participated in a
competition in Montreal,
Canada where Smith won the
first speaker award and Arron
Frechette won the third speaker
award. The team of Mark Smith
and Andrew Gorray won second
place.
·
Gorray said some of the south-
ern schools proved to be chal-
lenging competition.
"That debate went pretty
well," he said. "We underwent
some tough competition with the
Shepherds College team from
West Virginia."
In the Orange Debates at Syra-
cuse_ University Jeannette For-
tune and Stephen McDonald
lost in the semi~finals, but
Konash and Stevenson beat
Cornell in the final round to take
first place in the Novice divi-
sion. Konash and Stevenson
also won first and sixth place
speaker awards.
Over the past two weeks the
team has competed at the Uni-
versity of Vermont and Roches-
ter where it won several speaker
awards. Konash and McDonald
made it to the final round in Ver-
mont. Stevenson and Smith
reached the quarterfinals in
Rochester where Konash and
McDonald also reached the
semi-finals.
Philip Scott Thompson, de-
bate coach and team advisor,
said he-is proud of the team's
success this semester.
"I'm very pleased that we're
doing so well," he said. 'Tin
also very pleased with how hard
the kids have worked. I hope
we do well
in
our next tourna-
ment."
The Novice Nationals will be
the final tournament of Marist's
debate season. The competition
will be held in two weeks in
Maryland.

She said that. some schools
larger than Marist get less vot-
·ers for their elections, so the
turnout is pretty good in com-
parison.
. "We moved the location (for
voting) to attract more. stu- ·
dents," she said. "We used three
locations instead of two."
Hunter said he was also happy
that people crune out to vote but
now he wants to get more
people involved in SGA. He
said that even though the same
people are good, there was a
huge fre::hmen and sophomore
turnout and their perspective is
also good for the organization.
''There's fifteen student gov-
ernment positions open, and I
want new people in who want
to get involved in student gov-
. emment," he said, "because the
people have a lot to say."
Hunter said he was also very
concerned about the social im-
age ·of SGA. Along with host-
ing more social Junctions, he
said he wants to start a Diver-
sity Campaign to help to bring
students closer together.
"We're all here for one goal
and that's to get an education,"
he said. "And I think we need
to be more accepting of each
other."
In the race for Resident Sena-
tor, Mike Caponegro and Travis
Mason both won seats uncon-
tested.
The Class of 2000 ~lected
Dave Sciascia as
its
president,
Sara Pitz vice-president and
Natalie Zeinoun secretary as all
three ran unopposed.
Ben Amarone won re-election
as Class of 2001 president along.
with vice-president Chris Blasie
and treasurer Cristina Allgeyer.
In
the only other contested race
· of the eiections, Meianie Rago
beat out incumbent- Amanda
Kelly in the race for class secre-
tary.
.
.
The Class of 2002 elected
Kevin Hogan as president and
Melissa· Santaneilo • as vice-
president as both ran· unop-
posed.
According to McCulloch, tran-
sition day is April 9: On this day, ·
she will hand over the gavel to
President-Elect Hunter and his
presidency will officially begin.
Around this date, his new ex-
ecutive board will also
take
over.
However, the SGA senate must
first approve his appointments
for those positions.

Wiesel is co01ing to Marist

Elie Wiesel, esteemed author

survi-
vor is coming to speak at
Marist.
.
The
'
Marist Student Program-
ming Council is sponsoring "An
Evening with Elie Wiesel" on
Wednesday, March 24 in th
_
e
Mccann Center as
·
part of its
ongoing Peace and Social Jus-
tice Series.
Wiesel was born in 1928 in
.
Sighet, Romania.
He lived a normal, happy life
until age 15, when he and his
family were
'
deported to ~
-
con-
centration camp in Auschwitz,
Gennany.
He has refused to forget the
horror he experienced iri the Nazi
death camp, and does not want
others to forget either.
In
1958, Wiesel broke his si-
lence about the Holocaust and
wrote the book, Night.
In
this book he.relates horren-
dous events he saw and experi-
enced first hand.
Milton Teichman, professor of
English who is currently teach-
ing a course on the Holocaust,
said Night is about Wiesel's ex-
perie'nce as a teenager in the
concentration camp.
"Night gives an account of a
teenager's experience
·
of
Auschwitz, his struggle to re-
tain his hllmanity and his loss
of faith in a just and merciful
God," he said.
Since its publication,
.
Night
has been translated into 25 dif-
ferent languages.
Millions of copies have been
sold around the world.
Teichman said Wiesel's large
literary output has dealt almost
exclusively with the Holocaust.
,
"Few people have reflected on
the tragedy as deeply as he has--!
Few have perceived its moral
and ethical implications as
clearly as he has," he said.
"Wiesel teaches us that the
Holocaust is not just a Jewish
tragedy."
According to an online
. source, in his writings, Wiesel
calls for a fierce, defiant struggle
with the Holocaust.
He has spent much of his life
working on behalf of the op-
pressed, speaking about human
rights, and promoting peace
throughout the world.
According to the same source,
Wiesel calls himself a "messen-
ger of the dead among the liv-
ing," and says his job is to pre-
vent the "destruction from be-
ing increased by being forgot-
ten."
In 1986
,
Wiesel was awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize and re-
cently was appointed to a board
overseeing a Swiss fund for
Holocaust victims.

Tannenbaum new Dean of science
by
CHRISTY BARR
Staff Writer
The new Dean of the Schooi
of
Science has plans to continue
.
on a high commitment to edu-
cation and intends to find ways
to
·
attract more science majors
·
to Marist.
Michael Tannenbaum, the new
dean of the School of Science,
came to Marist from Truman
·
State University in Missouri
where he taught for the last
10
years
_
arid was an Associate
Professor of Biology and Coor-
·
dinator of Pre-Medical Advis-
ing. Before that, Tannenbaum
taught at Marshall University in
West Virginia forfour years.
Tannenbaum received his un-
dergraduate degree in Biologi-
cal Sciences from Cornell Uni-
versity and a Ph.D. in Zoology
from Clemson University.
Tannenbaum said there were
a few things that attracted him
to Marist.
"One of the things that at-
tracted me to Marist was the
beautiful campus on the
Hudson," he said. "A more sig-
nificant attraction that led me to
Marist was that teachingjs the
highest priority here and the
Tannenbaum
School of Science had some
great teachers."
Tannenbaum said the things
that attracted him have also im-
pressed him.
"I
am yery impressed with the
dedication and commitment of
the science faculty to providing
top quality teaching and advis-
ing to undergraduate,s," he said.
"I
am very happy to repor,t that
the evidence
I
have seen since
.my arrival most definitely sup-
ports that contention.
"
Tannenbaum also said his time
at Marist has been enjoyable.
"The faculty, staff, and admin-
isirators with whom I have
worked and interacted have
been great. The students with
whom
I
have interacted with are
al;m very impressive,
"
he said.
"So
far I
have very much en-
joyed my time at Marist."
Tannenbaum said it surprised
hiin that given the program's
success, there are not mores
science majors.
. "1
am working with the faculty
and admissions office to de
-
velop strategies to attract more
s
.
cience majors to Marist,"
Tannenbaum said. "As Dean, I
am planning to meet with cur-
·
rent Marist students and Mid-
Hudson Valley high school stu-
dents to see how we can struc-
ture our program to attract more
science students."
Tannenbaum also said there is
a possibility of a new major be-
ing added.
"We are considering adding a
health-care related major in the
near future," he said.

Berkeley.
.
.
.
.
But what is Medical Technol-
ogy and what makes it different .
than the other science programs
at Marist?
Medical Technology does re-
quire a strong background in
biology and chemistry.
It
extends beyond that, how-
ever, and better

prepares stu-
dents specifically for careers in
·
the medical field and laboratory
medicine.
· Associate professor and
.
chairp
_
erson of the Medical
'.fechnology
department,
Catherine Newkirk,
said
many of
the students study hematology
(the study of blood), clinical
chemistry (which requires the
studying of health and dis-
.
eases), microbiology (the study
of bacteria and fungi), and im-
munohematology (which pre-
pares stude
_
nts for careers in
blood banking).
.
Before graduating, students in
the
-
program must complete a
six-month clinical whi_ch let~
.
them experience different as-
pects of a Medical Technology
career.
Starting
in
June, Medical Tech-
nology seniors begin traveling
to area hospitals and laborato-
ries to broaden their experience
and prepare them for careers af-
ter graduation.
While graduates have the op-
tions of continuing their educa-
tion in medicine after Marist,
most students choose to start
in medical laboratories as medi-
cal technologists.
Junior medical technology
major Elizabeth Johnson said
she hopes that thtsi~ what the
future holds for her.
When Johnson came to
Marist her freshman
year,
she
was an undecided science ma~
jor.
However, once she saw what
the Medical Technology
pro-
gram had to offer, she knew that
this was what she wanted to do.
She said she
.
thinks this major
wasright for her.
"I wanted to stay with biology
and I knew that this was the best
chance of getting a decent job,"
.
she said.
Hoping
to som
·
eday work in a
hospital laboratory, the program
.
had everything
to
offer
her in
the hopes of achieving her
goals.
Despite the limited number of
people involved with the pro-
gram, there are many advan
-
.
tages, according to students in
the Medical Technology pro-
gram.
Johnson said there are advan-
tages to the program being small
"Since it is small, the students
develop good relationships and
they also receive individual at-
tention
from
their
professors,"she said
Johnson said the program is
helpful to the students.
"It
is not so much a classroom
setting, as it is a tutoring ses-
sion, to help the students bet-
ter learn about their field and
prepare them for a career after
graduation,'.' she said.
The success of the program
extends beyond the acclaims
from students.
The National Accrediting
Agency for Clinical Laboratory
Science (NAACLS) said that
this Marist program is "excellent
and prepared to go into the 21st
century." The program has
"more than adequate ... facilities
and equipment."
With such a great program
under her guidance, what more
could Professor Newkirk ask
for?
While extra laboratory equip-
:
ment and faculty would be nice,
the one thing that she would like
the most is "to have more stu-
dents
in
it."

Job searching tips for all

by
JEN GLOVER
.
Staff Writer
There is one 10-letter combi-
nation that rriost Marist stu,- ·
dents anxiously look forward to
-"graduation" or, maybe better
yet, "senior week".
.
However, along with the cov-
eted graduation comes the
10-
Ietter word of dread -
"employ-
ment."
The fact is, there really is life
after Marist, and for seniors that
time is coming soon.
Most seniors should be well
ori. their way towards knowing
what they plan on doing
after
graduation.
For some, that means gradu-
ate school, while others
are look-
ing to take the plunge into the
world of corporate America.
Chet Koulik, the Assistant
Director of Career Development
arid Placement,. said that most
seniors have already started
planning for their careers.
"Most seniors are already
onto their second or third inter-
views with potential employ-
ers," he said
Career Services offers a vari-
ety of placement and referral
services for Mari st College stu-
dents.
If you are a senior who has
been avoiding the Center for
Career Services; located in
Donnelly 226, make an effort to
stop by soon.
.
While Koulik notes that the
job search take
·
s
·
eight t~ ten
months to complete; it is never
too late to start the process.
With programs from online
(JOBTRACK) to employers who
come on to campus for job fairs,
there are many ways that Career
Services can find the fight job
foryou.
_
.
B~fore they can do anything,
you:.inust stop by with your re-
.
sume
and sign the release forms
to
let
Career Services do some
of the work for your search.
For those of you trying to do
it alone, there. are many tips
available
for
job searclJ,ing.
Newspapers
1
are
a
common
way to find employment oppor-
tunities, bui: according
to
·
the
book,
The C<ireer FitnessPro-·
·
gram: Exercising Your
Optidlls,
only 15 to 20 percent of alijob
· opportunities
·
are pos_ted in
newspapers.
It is becoming increasingly
common for comp~ies to ad-
vertise positions
·through
direct.
mail and the Internet.
. . .
·
.
Also; do not forget the ir:ri.por:.
tance ofnetworking.
·
·
By joining professional asso-
ciations and attending confer;;-
ences, not only will you learn
more about the field,
but
make
yourself more visible to employ:-
ers.
.
.
Not all of this is just reievant
to seniors, however.
For students looking for in-
ternships and/or summer em-
ployment, the job search should
also be underway.
Juniors and seniors who need
·
to send out resumes for sum:-
mer/fall internships need
to
see
Career Services immediately, as
_
they intend to send
·
out stu-
.
dents' resumes over spring
break.·
Career Services can also help
stuoents find summer employ-
ment in the area.
This year's Summer Job and
.
Internship Day will
be Weanes-
day, April
7
from
12
to 2pm in
the Student
·
center.
Even if you
are not looking for
a job, it's never too early to
be-
gin.
·
·
·
Just passively looking can put
.. you one step ahead.
Keep an eye open for events
that are going on around cam-
pus and in the area;
Then, wheri it comes time for
·
you to determine your post-
graduation plans, you will be
able to enjoy the search.

Are animals not creatures of
the earth? They may have to
die to feed our nation
,
as they
have since the beginning of time
,
but do they have to be tortured
.
in the process? Meat consump-
tion will continue
.
However,
could not these animals at least
be put to death in a humane
way? I do not recall the last time
that beating
,
boiling or mutilat-
ing were acceptable ways to die
.

by
PATRICKWHITILE
A & E Editor
The Jones' return to Marist
College Feb. 19 proved that
laughter is the best medicine for
a r;ugh Spring Semester.
·
·
The Jones', a comedy troupe
made up of Marist College
graduates who were part of the
original Humarists, made their
debut at the Nelly Goletti The-
atre a night to remember. The
Humarists consist of Jeff
Baumgardner, Lewis· Adams,
Scott "Muddy" Kaseta, Chris
Stout and Jeff Gooden, all Class
of 1995. They perform sketch
and improvisational comedy in
New York: City clubs like
Caroline's and The Duplex.
...
·
'This is our house, 1t was
absolutely inc'redible," Adams
said, adding that he thinks the
Jones' performances are best
received by college crowds.
"This is our house,
it was absolutely
incredible."

.
Unfortunately,
rn
recent
times, radio has become in-
creasingly commercialized, and
diversity and on.:air experimen-
tation have consequently been
on the decline. The job of many
modern DJs is to reduce the
obviousness of a pre-set format
with their on-air personality,
rather that to select and promote
new and unusuai music. Songs
·
are selected by specialized
fo-
cus groups based on brief song
clips or 'phone surveys, rather
then on an esthetic basis. The
object is to play only music that
the targeted audience will not
dislike, instead of playing mu-
sic that will catch their attention
as new, innovative, or unusual
(Pareles,
1999).
This leads to the
annoying phenomena of "one-
hit wonders" and "played-out"

'Payback'.iS ab.igwinner

Staff Writer
Ads· have portrayed '.Pay-

Gibson's vengeful character in
'Payback' has all.the markings
of
a
noir-ish antthero but Mel
Gibson's charming persona al-'
ways shines through and we're
always aware that Gibson is just
"acting."
.
'Payback? is a remake of a
movie· that-this viewer never
saw, nainely·theLeeMarvin ve-
hicle 'PointBl!,lllk.' The story is
essentially the same. Gibson

comes back to· town in order to
settle up with his Jnemies. Por-
ter demands ihe $70000 that was
stolen from him but along the
way he gets mixed up with Asian
gangsters, an old girlfriend, cor-
rupt cops and a mysterious
crime organization known only
as ''The Outfit."
Most of the film is set in an
urban jungle where everyone
has an ulterior motive and Por-,
ter has to continually resort to
vioience in order to get what he
wants. The serio-comic tone of
"Paybabk"
is
effective for the
most pan; and many of Gibson's
deadpan lines are quite funny.
But,· with the exception of
•Braveheart,' this is one ofMel's
brutal, violent excursions. Toes
are smashed, nose rings are
pulled out, women are hi( and
A LOT of people get shot. Di-
rector Brian Helgeland (screen-
writer of LA Confidential and
Conspiracy Theory) fill out the
cast with such talented seriicirs
as William Devane; fames
· Coburn arid Kris Kristofferson
in addition to welcome players
like·; David Paymer and the.
underusedJohri Glover .. Gibson
has a voice over narra.ticm that
is appropriately raspy aqd dark.
Helgeland seems to
be
trying to
create a kind of modem noir
crossed with the ballistic ballet
ofaJohn Woo film. It comes to-
gether well and the film, as a
whole, is entertaining.
On the downside, the tone of
the movie is uneven and
Porter's redemp.tion at the end
of the film seems a little out of
character for such a nasty,
bioody movie. The film shifts
from darkened, blue-tinted de-
pictions of cruelty and blood-
shed to quiet emotional reflec-
tions too often. The film wants
to be heartless but at the same
time remain a normal_ "Holly-
wood" story. Most of the in-
consistency
in
Payback can be
attributed to Gibson's own tink-
. ering with the finished film as
detailed in recent trades.
Gibson is obviously having
a good time with this character,
but he always seems· in on the
joke. Still, these are minor criti-
cisms of an overall enjoyable
crime drama. Gibson is always
excellent in any role and he's·
serviced well by a decent script
and some unique camerawork.
I would recommend 'Payback'
for anyone who'd like to see
'Patch Adams' savagely tor-
tured and then cut down by a
barrage of bullets.

roes. The next half-horir was
quite possibly the most interest-
ing conversation
I
have ever
been witness to .. Jimmy was just
making conversation with three
members of
Cooter between hits
of his preferred substance and
sips of whatever thick black
drink he had in his cup. When
I
walked in the conversation was
about ~the Tom Greene Show,'
which moved to Jimmy's par-
ents. Eventually the conversa-
tion switched over- to Jimmy's
favorite new toy,
a
porta-potty;
that his parents gave him for a
going away present for this tour.
"It's like the greatest thing
ever ... I'mhaving one shipped to
Europe for our tour there,"
Jimmy said as he exhaled
a
thick
cloud of smoke. So a great night
of music and porta-potties at the
end of it all.
Definitely a highlight of my

BWck-Crowes
light up
Beacon Theatre stage
by
STEPHEN.MERCIER
Staff Writer
During
_the Black Crowes'
show on February 27 at the Bea-
con Theatre, lead singer Chris
Robinson said · that Saturday
night is the time to be very bad.
And that is what they were .on
Saturday, bad. Now,
I
am not
talking about the negative bad.
I
am speaking about the 'good'
bad, the Michael Jackson bad.
Throughout the 90s,
the
Black Crowes have been a very
interesting story. When break-
ing out in 1990 with the multi-
platinum 'Shake Your Money
Maker,' they were -an oddity.
While glam rock/hair bands were
ruling MTV,
the Black Crowes,
like
Guns N' Roses were a rock
band that was more in the fash-
ion of
the Rolling Stones and
less like
Warrant or Poison.
With their southern, blues
and soul influenced rock & roll
they became very successful
even though they did not fit the
norm of the early 90s music
scene. After another big album,
their popularity waned.
With
'Amorica,' they began to get ig-
nored by MTV and many radio
stations. Even though I feel it
is one of the better albums· of
the 90s, its' lack of commercial
songs caused it to not.blow up
like the others.
Ever since, they have had
two other albums, including
their new release, the excellent,
straight rock & roll album, 'By
Your Side.'
The Crowes have
not been selling platinum al-
bums anymore, but they do have
a very loyal group offans. This
was proven when they sold out
all three recent shows at the
Beacon Theater in· New York
City. Despite lack of huge
record sales, they have also
been making some of the most
consistent rock music of the 90s
and the band displayed this fact
during the two-hour show.
Throughout the concert, the
group played a very balanced
set. While including their hits
and new material, they also per-
formed a good number of songs
from all their albums except
1996s 'Three Snakes And One
Charm.' Although they did not
play any songs from that album,
the band always changes their
set list for every concert. So,
the Black Crowes could play
many songs from a certain al-
bum, and then another night
they will not perform anything
from that album.
They started the set with the
hi_t,
Remedy. It was an excellent
choice for the first song. The
tune's bluesy rock and catchy
melodies got the audience in-
volved. Robinson also brought
excitement with his extraordi-
nary stage presence. He was
dressed in a tight, sequined
green shirt, tight blue pants, and
performed with bare feet. When
the limber Robinson was not
screeching his tortured south

llesecondin theMAAC
. by
THOMAS RYAN
Sports Editor
It,
would not be· much of a
stretch to say that Marist Col-
lege is enjoying one of its finest
athletic years to date.
The men's and women's swim-
ming teams captured their re-
spective MAAC titles, the
women's cross-country team
placed first at the MAAC cham-
pionships while the men placed
second.
.
Men's tennis also did exceed-
ingly well winning the MAAC's
and earning a trip to the NCAA
tournament this spring. .
Other teams doing well were
both the women's tennis and
indoor track and field teams.
Both squads earned third place
finishes:
The Red Foxes sports pro-
grams are. currently n,mning
second in the MAAC's Com-
missioner Cup Standings.
Teams earn points based on
where in the MAAC they finish
the season, meaning a higher
finish equals more points.
Marist currently trails the
Fairfield Stags by one point,
79.5 to 78.5.
What makes this even more
impressive for Marist is that
they do not have either a men's
or women's golf team and earn
zero points for each. Even with
last place finishes in both sports,
Marist would be in front.
Fairfield is the only school · in
the MAAC ~hich has had all
sports represented in both the
fall and winter seasons.
With both basketball records
not yet included in the Commis-
sioner Cup standings, and the
traditionally strong Marist base-
ball and softball programs still
awaiting the opening of their
seasons, Marist may have a
chance to overtake the Stags by
the end of the year.

Talented · freshman
has ·women excited
about--their future
by
ALF.REDDEFAITA,JR
Staff Writer
When you take a glance at the
Women's Basketball team
record and see an overall record
of 4-23 and 3-15 in the MAAC,
there is not much positive you
can say.
. However, sometimes stats,
wins, and loses on paper can be
misleading. It really does not
show you the full character of a
certain team or player.
· Yes the team won only four
games the whole season but the
team was very yourig and weJit
through a lot of growing pains
during the· season. The team's
roster was filled with youth and
inexperienced players that will
only help the program iii the
fu-
ture. Freshman three~point spe-
cialist Marie Fusci knows first
hand what a learning experience
it was to play this season.
Even though she was a fresh-
man, her play on the court was
that of a second or third year
player. '
''There were games I made
some mental mistakes but than
there were games that I would
play very well. The game took
time to adjusted it is much faster
and physical than the high
school game," said Fusci.
Even though she had to ad-
just to the speed of the game,
and the physical aspect of bas-
ketball at the next level coming
out of high school, it would not
be all that bad. She was still able
to hurt her opponents with her
long range shooting like she did
back at high school on Long
Island. Before leaving high
school she would be named to
the AU-Long Island Team and
USA Honorable Mention as a
member of the Island Trees.
She was able to find her shot
most of the games as a member
of the Lady Foxes. There were
times she was a key asset on
the offensive side of the ball.
Fusci would finish the season
with seventy-one three point-- .
ers. She was named at the end
of the year as the MAAC Three
Point Shooter of the Year. Her
play was also recognized
throughout the league and that
is way she was also named to
the MAAC Rookie Team. She·
has gotten all these individual
awards but thinks that the team
will get better in the years to
come.
Marie Fusci sees a bright
_fu-
ture for the team because a lot
of the team is back next year with
experiences under their belts.
"We have improved as a team
when the season went on even
though the record does not
show. Our main problem was
we could not put together 40
minutes of basketball on the
court. The team would come out
the first halfleading most of the
game and than the second half
we would fall apart. This is
something we must work on not
to happen next year," said Fusci.
As for Marie Fusci just be-
cause the seasons over does
not mean basketball is over un-
til next fall. In the next couple of
weeks the team will start their
workout and conditioning pro-
grams to prepare for next year's
season. A season in which
Mari st fans hope Fusci 's vision
comes true and the Lady Foxes
can become the talk of the town.
