thought the ceremony was done

"It was. very nice," she said.
"Both President Murray and

said that in addition to· the
speeches, there was a perfor-
mance by the Time Check

"They .(Time Check) were in-

was a nice momentous occa-
sion," she said.
At the ceremony they also
gave out awards for best male/

vice, and highest GPA. Christo-
pher Blaise was the recipient for
the male community . service
award: He said he was surprised
·
at the honor.
"I
was surprised and shocked
to win the award, and I'm still in
shock," Blaise said.
Blaise also said he thought it
was nice that. students were
honored for their achievements.
"It
was nice to receive an
award for what you've done,"
said Blaise.
Since the ceremony was held
on parent's weekend, a number
of student's parents were able
to see the ceremony as well.
Brennan said it was a good idea
to collaborate the two events.
"I think it was good that the
ceremony was held parent's
weekend," she said. "My par-
ents liked the ceremony a lot."
According to Blaise, this was
a good way to encourage par-
ents ofupperclassmen to attend
the weekend.
'This was a way to bring more
of the junior parents up and
draw them back into parent's
weekend because it's mostly
freshman and sophomore par-
ents who come up," he said.

Women should check themselves for lumps each month.
The third category is the so-
called fibrocystic breasts, lumpy
breast tissue often caused by
fluctuating hormonal levels.
They are common at the stal"_t of
.
the menstrual cycle and nor-:
malJy fade away after the period.
80 percent of lumps are
biopsied as benign, but any ab-
normality that causes concern
should be checked out.· For a
cyst, an aspiration is done,
where a needle is injected to
draw the fluid out.
If
it is only a
cyst, it will shririk and disappear.
If
the doctor suspects fibroad-
enoma, it will be analyzed by
ultrasound, mammogram or the
extraction of cells.
Follow-ups are always recom-
mended to check progress or to
screen· for any further compli-
cations.
Breast Cancer has received
some press in the past few years
due to celebrity coverage. Talk
show host Rosie O'Donnell lost
her mother at the age of ten to
breast cancer, and has used her
fame as a way to raise aware-
ness and money for the search
fora cure.

freshman class coming out to
vote. John Shibles; SGA elec-
tions chairperson said this years
election was successful.
"Compared to 28 percent of
voters last year, this is very
high ..
.I am very pleased (with
this percentage)."
However, Shibles said that he
hopes to increase the voting
percentage in the future with
better communication.
Beth Glenney, a freshman, said
he was pleased with the results,
but felt more students could
have voted.
"The candidates gave me a
good feeling when I listened to
their speeches," she said. "It is
disappointing that only half the
class voted, because if they did
not vote, they can not complain
·
if they do not like the officers."
The excitement of this election
can still be felt on the South End
of campus,
_as
the officers get
ready to serve the Class of2003.

·Need to relax? Try yoga. It
is a system of exercises prac-
ticed to attain spiritual in-·
sight and tranquility.
It
has
turned into America's most
profitable
alternative
· healthcare method.
Scientists believe that yoga
did not really emerge until
500 BC. The oldest docu-
mentation of yoga was
found· on May 23, 1920 in
India dating back four thou-
sand years.
It
was a terra-
cotta
seal inscribed of an in-
dividual meditating in a yoga
posture.
It
is a myth that
yoga was formed as a reli-
gion and actually does not
even have a formal manu-
script.
There are four paths of
yoga: the path through love,
the path through knowl-
edge, the path through
work, and the eight-limbed
path, which is known as the
"heart of yoga". According
to Beryl Birch, a yoga re-
searcher, "Yoga is a vehicle
for emotional growth and
spiritual adventure."
The word yoga actually
means "union" of body and
mind together. According to
Aiden, a yoga specialist,
"The idea is to create a bal-
ance between our inner still-
ness and the outside world."
The main goal of yoga is
self-realization or personal
enlightenment. Although,
most people only notice the
observable effects of yoga
including improved health,
reduced stress, an increase
of strength, balance, flexibil-
ity, memory, and intelligence.
Yoga can also be used to
enhance metabolic function
and relieve addictions.
There are many types of
yoga including Ashtanga,
Integrnl, Iyengar, Kriya,
Kundalimi, Tantra, Vini, and
the most common, Hatha.
Hatha yoga performs exer-
cises, or asarns, that focus
on breathing, posture, and
physical aspects of relax-
ation. The asaras are named
after animals in nature,
which compliment yoga's
state
of
being. Breath con-
trol is one of the more impor-
tant exercises involved in
yoga. An ancient belief
states that each individual is
allowed only a certain num-
ber of breaths per lifetime.
Yoga was formed to make
them last as long as pos-
sible.
To get a taste of yoga, here
is a sample exercise from Diet
and Fitness: Gently tuck in
your belly and inhale slowly,
rolling your shoulders back-
wards and relaxing them
down. Do this three times in

or for m~ney, and whether you are experienced or not. The most common reason people make
can~les ts for home candle parties, fund-raisers, craft shows or fairs, wholesaling to shops,
retail shops or booth space, and website orders. You can learn to make all sorts of different
candles inciuging ~omatherapy, frosted, floating, marbleized, or taper candles
.
_For something different you can learn how to mix scents while making your candles. For
~xample combi~ing a pean?t butter with grape
_
(muscadine) would m
_
ake a peanut butter and
Jelly scent or mix Hershey s Chocolate with candy cane to make a mint chocolate scent.,
If
you have n~ver made candles before there are sections on candle burning and safety tips,
molds and melting pots, a measuring chart and information on color blending, and a dictionary
of candlemaking terms which explains terms such as double boiler or flash point
.
Would you rather just shop? There is a candle ad section which has great deals on hand-
crafted candles, Bath and Body products, Potpourri and more
.
Did you know that candles have been traced back to biblical times and were first used
as
the
m:un source oflight for homes? To find out more about their origin go to the section

East Timorese are poor and have no tradition of self-rule. Their economy is in
shambles; their capital Dili is burned and devastated; their family members are
dead, injured, and scattered

They face the daunting task ofliterally building their

nation from the bottom up, with a hostile Indonesia to the west and an indifferent
world turning its attention to the next "hot spot" The East Timorese have been
able to overcome almost insunnountable challenges before. This will be their
greatest test.

. ligion. He wants to cut City
funding for the museum, which
amounts to millions of dollars. I
believe that different subject-
matter appeal to different
people.
If
the government de-
cides what is art andwhat is not,
then we are heading for a dire
future. Also, in America, I
thought we were supposed to
separate church and state.
The reason I side with
·'Bullioni" is because I
think
the
Brooklyn Museum of Art is ask-
ing for the condemnation. It is
a public museum. The majority
· of the public does not want to
see ~e Vrrgin Mary draped in
elephant dung, animals dis-
sected, and whad find most
disturbing, the portrait of a
pe-
dophile created with handprints
of children. This kind of per-
sonalized taste belongs in pri-
vate galleries, not a public mu-
seum. This is the surface con-
troversy that everyone can see.
Let's dig deeper into tlie dung
pile and see what we find.
The Brooklyn Mu.seum of Art
is charging a fee of $9 .50 to see
the exhibit. It is not a suggested
donation like all the other pub-
lic museums ask for,
if
you don't
pay you don't get in. There is a
provision in the City Charter
that states if a public museum
wants to charge for admission,
it must obtain permission from
. the mayor. They have not done
that. Don't take our tax dollars
and waste it on exhibits that the
general public does not have an
interest in, and then have the
nerve to charge admission for
it
Of course not all of the parties
involved
are
innocent.
"Bullioni" has known that this
exhibit was coming to New York
City for at least a year. Why all
of the ruckus now? The mayor
needs votes for his up coming
Senate run. There are seven
million Catholics in New York
and for the most part are all mad
at this. Nice timing Bullioni.
I
am not saying we should
suppre.ss.
\L:c~
Th~s is Ame~c~.
whi.frifwe are
able fcfvoice
our
differences of opinion, not only
in speech but in art also. We
pay taxes for the public good. I
believe this exhibit is not for the
public good; therefore, it should
not be in a public museum on
public property.
For the most part ev-
eryone has been shoveling
it
around. Bullioni has his insin-
cere reasons why this exhibit
should not happen, and the
Brooklyn Museum of Art states
that cutting Federal funding vio-
lates the American Constitu-
tion.
If
it does not stop soon,
we will all be up to our neck in
dung.
Speaking of dung ...
I would like to thank the per-
son who sent the letter to the
editor regarding my favorable
position on Pat Buchanan. I
have a problem with your point
though. When Pat Buchanan
stated that Hitler did not pose a
threat to American interests, I
hope that you were not allud-
ing to anything other than an
academic case for isolationism.
It
is easy to get caught up in the
spin that the media creates when
someone says something that
is not agreeable to the main-
stream. I still say Pat Buchanan
for President.

It was the summer of 97. I went
to my first show at Coney Is-

I
remember was the big "No Danc-

It was the beginning of the end

BRINGING OUT THE DEAD:
Martin Scorcese directs Nicolas

Nicolas Cage is no De Niro

FOX'sSunday Night
Animation Block
For several years after The
Simpsons debuted in 1990, FOX
tried to find a live-action
sitcom
that could directly follow The
Simpsons on the schedule. The
executives at FOX hoped they
could capitalize on the huge
success of The Simpsons
and
create an hour of Nielsen ratings
power. The fact that most suc-
cessfu

gives you an
idea
of how well
FOX's plan fared. In the winter
of 1997, FOX scrapped the
whole concept, and began air-
ing a new animated comedy,
King of the
Hill,
on Sunday
nights at 8:30, immediately fol-
lowing The Simpsons. The com-
bination of the two proved to
be a big hit. King
of
the Hill con-
tinued to
air
Sunday nights at
8:30 until the start of the 1998-
99 season. FOX tried to capital-
ize on the show's ratings by

70s Show proved to be a mod-
est hit. Despite the show's suc-
cess, FOX executives decided
that, for the 1999
~
2000 season,
an animated show should
fol-
low The Simpsons again. In ad-
dition, they decided that an ani-
mated show should precede The
Simpsons as well. Therefore,
King of the
Hill
returned to
Sundays, at 7:30,
and
the ani-
mated hit Futurama was sched-
uled for 8:30. Thus, FOX's 90-
minute Sunday night animation
block was born.
The block leads off with
King
of the
Hill.
The show revolves
around the family of Hank Hill,
a propane salesman. The show
is set in Texas, and the fact that
Hank and his friends are a bunch
of rednecks adds to the show's
charm. Hank (voiced by co-cre-
ator Mike Judge) is
a
middle-
class father who does not al-
ways understand what is going
on around him, but nonetheless
does his best to try and deal
with it. He also does his best to
provide for his
family:
What
makes King of the HiU work is
that it
is believable.
It
is so
-
watching Peggy suffer like she
did. King of the
Hill
can affect
you in ways most sitcoms do
not, and it deserves to be a Sun-
day night hit again.
While King of the
Hill
can be
quite good, it has yet to attain
the quality of The Simpsons.
There are several episodes of
The Simpso11s from past sea-
sons
that rank right up near the
top among the funniest sitcom
episodes of all
-
time. When the
show is at its best, it is wonder-
fully twisted and even surreal,
while also serving up social
commentary
laced
with sar-
donic
wit.
Most importantly,
though, is that it does all this
while also being enormously
funny
.
That is what was lacking
in many episodes of this past
season. The biting edge of
theshow was too often missing,
offering i
_
n its place lowbrow
comedy and stock sitcom situ-
ations. Since the show's debut

New
York, the
band took the stage and struck
at the crowd with around
an
hour
of intensity. There were no
fights. There were no major in:.
juries. There was an amazing
sense of positivity though,
stretching down from the stage
and onto the floor. They played
a couple songs from their new
album as well as
.
sorrie of their
classics such as Spirii of 84 and
Family
Tree.
One of the high-
est notes of the set was their
cover of the Dead Kennedy's
song,
Nazi Punks#@&* Off. It
was good to see such a healthy
energy on the floor for once, a
refreshing change from the trend
of recent shows.
Seeing as how we ar-
rived a little late, we missed
Kill
Your Idols, \Vho were scheduled
to go on first for some unknown
reason
.
However, we (myself and
the infamous Patrick Whittle)
did manage to catch up with
them after the show. Kill Your
Idols has been around for
roughly four years, blending
punk and hardcore for an old-
school sound that seems to be
dying out nowadays.
Gary,
the
guitarist
·
said, "Some
·
people
think that punk and hardcore are
two completely separate things
but they're not .. .it's the same
mindset
·
and pretty much the
same music." Encouraging the
attitude of the crowd was the
.
vocalist,
'
Andy, who said "Go-
ing to shows and dancing
should be a vent, not something
done to pr_ove a point."

Futurama made its much~antici-

who had created

It revolved around a twentieth-

ger (voiced by Billy
West) being transported in time
to the year
2999
.
There he meets
and befriends a female cyclop
s
(Katey Sagal), a professor
(West again), and a bitter robot
(John DiMaggio)
.
The show
was an immediate hit. While

PATRICK KEMPF
Staff Writer
After being held scoreless for
two straight games, the Marist
College Red Foxes exploded for
49 points in a 49-7 blowout win
over Canisius Saturday after-
noon in Buffalo, evening their
record at 2-2 .
.
Marist was able to pound out
227 yards rushing on their way
to victory. Key Bank Player of
the Game Joe Brodeur explained
how the offense was able to tum
things around.
"I think that we had a really
good week of practice:
'
Brodeur
said. "Coming out of that week
of practice we were really confi-
dent that we could get the job
done.
"
The sophomore center was
quick to shy away the praise as
player of the game
,
and explain
that it was a testament to the
whole offensive line.

.OCTOBER

7, 1999
In the Bronx; the Yankees are
attempting· to win· their third
World Series in the last four
years. Both previous times they
won, it all came after they de-
feated the Texas Rangers in the
Divisional Series.
Texas is hoping the third time
is the charm, and this is the best
chance the Rangers have had
to beat the Yank~. They can
thank· Rafael Palmeiro and an ·
improved bullpen for that.
New York has the veterans ·
who know what it takes to win it
all, and its starting pitching is
still vastly superior to that of the
Rangers.
Texas' starters should not
scare anyone. Aaron Sele won
18 games, but with a4.79 ERA.
No Ranger starter had an ERA
below 4.50 this season.
Yankees sweep.
The Boston Red Sox have the
ultimate weapon in a short se-
ries in Pedro Martinez. But will
the Sox have enough arms to
contain a Cleveland lineup that
had five players amass over 100
RBI?
- The Indians have the best
lineup in baseball. Their pitch-
ing staff Jacks depth, but they
have the ability to overpower
Boston.
The key for the Red Sox is to
get solid pitching performances
Baseball's final regular season
_
of the twentieth century has
concluded and the excitement of
post-season baseball is upon
us.
There
Is
no clear-cut winner
this year, unlike the Yankees
cir
last season. Here are my pre-
dictions for the playoffs.
The Boston Red Sox vs. the
Cleveland Indians. The Red Sox
have the best phcher in base-
ball in Pedro Martinez, and
as
a
result will at least win two games
in this•series. Bret Saberhagen
or Ramon Martinez have the
ability to win one other game for
this team, and the offense is
decent.
On the other hand, the Indi-
ans were the ftrsuea:m in
49
years . to score at least 1,000 .
runs. Their offense is awesome.
But, their pitching is suspect
and for this reason Boston's
offense will be able to score
some runs. · Look for the Red
Sox to win in five games.
The Texas Rangers vs. the
New York Yankees: The Rang-
ers have a potentoffenseled by
MVP
candidate Rafael Palmiero.
The defense is sound artd tile
Yankees will have a tough time :
stealing bases against Ivan
Rodriguez.
But, like the Indians, the Rang-
ers pitching is very suspect and
often very inconsistent.
The Yankees have
the
·deep-
est staff in the AL, as evi-
denced by Hideki lrabu 's place-
ment in the bullpen. The same
cast of characters is there from
from people not named Pedro,
specifically his brother Ramon,
Bret Saberhagen and Kent
Merker.
Give the Red Sox credit for
advancing this far after losing
Mo Vaughn, but the dream ends
here.
Indians in four.
After being given up for dead
a week ago, the New York Mets
are in the playoffs, where they
will face the Arizona Diamond-
backs.
Having won 100 games in their
second season, Arizona is not ·
your typical expansion team.
The theme of their season was
contributions from everyone.
Did anyone expect - Luis
Gonzalez, Jay Bell and Steve
Finley to combine fornearly 100
homeruns?
The Mets face a tall order, lit-
erally, in possibly having to face
Randy Johnson twice in five
games .. The rest of Arizona's
starters match up evenly with
their Met counterparts, and the
Arizona bullpen is underrated.
In what will be the most enter-
taining pairing in the Division
Series, Arizona in five.
The Atlanta Braves and Hous-
ton Astros meet in the playoffs
for the second time in three
years. In Mike Hampton and
Jose Lima, the Astros boast two
last year's record setting cham-
pionship team.
·
The Yankees win in four
games.
The Houston Astros vs. the
Atlanta Braves. The Astros had
to expend a lot of energy just to
make the playoffs. 'f4ey have
the best 1-2-3 starting rotation
in the
NL in Mike Hampton, Jose
Lima, and Shane Reynolds:
The Braves were finally tested
in the month of September, how-
ever, they still come into this_'
series as the more rested team.
Also this team is very experi-.
enced and they do everything ·
·well.
Chipper Jones had a phenom-
enal year and the pitching was
consistent as usual.
But not even ,Chipper will be
able to solve this Houston pitch-
ing staff. As long ·as the start-
ers produce they way they have
all year long, and get the ball to
baseball's top closer Billy
Wagner, the Astros will coast.

open the series on the road.

20-game winners.
As always, Atlanta's rotation
is loaded, with Kevin Millwood
joining the Maddux-Smoltz-
Glavine troika.
This series also features the
top two candidates for NL MVP
in Chipper Jones and Jeff
Bagwell. In order for the Astros
to win, Bagwell must improve on
his .115 playoff batting average.
Braves in four.
_
Gazing deeper into the crystal
ball, the Yanks again pounce on
Cleveland pitching to defeat the
Indians in six. In the NL, the
Diamondbacks upend the
Braves in seven.
In the World Series, look for
the Yankees to win their twenty-
fifth title by taking out Arizona
in six.
Now, this week's top five news
stories:
5)
The 3-0 St. Louis Rams - The
first real test comes this week
against the 49ers.
4) NHL season opens - How
many players on your favorite
team are unsigned?
3)
Mets make the playoffs -And
how likely was that
a
week ago?
2) The
0-4
Denver Broncos - Next
four games: Oakland, Green Bay,
New England, Minnesota.
1)
Pippen gets dealt -
If Port-
land doesn't win it all today,
who does Scottie blame?
Randy Johnson. This team has
a strong offense and one of the
best mangers in the game today
in Buck Showalter.
The Diamondbacks advance
in four games.
The League Championships
will be very competitive. In the
AL
the Yankees will defeat the
Red Sox in six games. The depth
of the pitching (expect Clemens
to have a big series and fill the
void of Dav:id Wells) and the
balanced offensive attack will
overcome Pedro.
The Yankees know how to win
and the veteran players that
they have will lead them to their
thirty-sixth world championship
appearance of this century.
In the
NL, the Astros will de-
feat the Diamondbacks in six
games. Houston will be the sur-
prise team of the year just as the
Padres were last season.
As for the World Series, the
Yankees will take five games to
repeat and win yet another world
championship.
And now for this week's Top
5:
********
S) Terrell Davis - Out for the rest
of the season with a knee injury.
4)
The three undefeated teams
left in the
NFL
are
New England,
Dallas, and St. Louis.
3) The Hockey season is now
upon us for the next nine
months.
2) New York has two teams in
the playoffs.
1)
Scottie Pippen traded to the
Blazers.

away from the field.
She is a sister of the Tri-Sigma
sorority chapter at Marist, as
well as the president of the Ad-
vertising Club.
Would you expect anything
less of her other than president?
Pluff described herself as
a
very ambitious person.
"I want to have a job when
I
graduate," she said.
"I
don't
want to be looking for one and
not know where I'm going."
Nichols said Pluff's approach
is the same on the field.
"Carie tactically reads games
real well," Nichols said. "She is
a
very smart player."
She definitely has a plan she
wants to follow, and soccer has
had a big role in developing that
plan.
