Sewerbreakforces students to
,eya~µate upper. townhouses·
by
KRISTINA BRITO
Staff Writer
Residents of the H-block
townhouses. experienced an
unwanted lesson . in a sewage
clean~up last month.
On March 6, a sewage pipe
broke inside the wall of
townhouse H-4, according to
April Quigley, resident director
on duty that night. The break-.
age caused flooding and evacu-
ation of the residents of the
block, according to students.
Townhouses HI and H4 were
those most affected by the
break.
·
Brenda Bertolini, resident of
H-4, said that suds around the
grate in the shower started to
forin and water started pumping
out around 7:30 p.m. Bertolini
said she called maintenance im~
mediately, but waited 45 minutes
for someone to arrive.
"One man from maintenance
came and tried plunging the
drain, but more water kept com-
ing up," she said. "He said he
was going to come back with
some more tools, but took al-
most an hour to return."
By the time maintenance re-
turned, piec~s of waste were
coming up with the water and
had· spread into the downstairs
bedroom and kitchen.according
to Bertolini. She started to mop
up the mess and wentto other
townhouses.to see if they were
experiencing the same prob-
lems.
Sarah Papineau, resident of
H,
J,
said she was in.the upstairs
shower
and
heard
her
houseinates yelling downstairs.
When she came downstairs,
there was a huge mess alL ov~r
the downstairs floor, she said.
''My housemates and I had six
mops and started to clean up,"
she said.
.
Most residents including

H-1, ·said they was disgusted by

the whole ordeal.
"It
was pretty wretched that
something like that was floating
around in our house, especially
since it came into the kitchen,"
she said.
Papineau and Dobson said
they called maintenance, but it
took them two hours to show
up. When maintenance arrived
at the house, there was a strong
stench in the house. Then they •
were told by maintenance they
might have to leave their houses
because of the contamination,
but may be put in a hotel .
Sarah English, director of
housing and residential life,
said that the students safety
was the main concern.
Quigley said she, other mem-
bers of the Housing staff and
maintenance decided it was un-
sanitary for-students to stay
at their houses because there
would be no water and no way
to have the mess cleaned up that
night.
Residents of both
townhouses said that resident
directors and resident assis-
tants came by to assess the situ-
ation. It wasn't until
U
:30 p.m.
that they were definitely told
they would have to evacuate for
the evening and possibly the
following day. If residents could
noffind a place to stay, the
Housing office would find them
a
vacancy on·campus.
Dobson said there should
have been swifter action in the
matter.
"They could have let us know
that we had to evacuate before
11 :30 on
a
Saturday night," she
said.
Bertolini said that she was of-
fered a vacancy on campus, but
chose to go to a hotel. Other
residents stayed with friends
off campus.
When residents were allowed
back into their houses late Mon-
day afternoon, some were not
satisfied with the clean-up per-
formed by Marist, including
Papineau.
"Although it wasn't Marist's
fault and they did the best they
could, it would have been bet-
ter to get rid of the mess sooner,
she said.
Bertolini said she did not feel
safe with the cleaning done be-
cause the contaminated water
was poured back down her sink.
"I don't think that the crew
was prepared to handle a situa-
tion like this," she said.
After students were allowed
back into their townhouses,
they had to deal with the dam-
ages done as a result.
Papineau said there was dam-
age done to personal belong-
ings, as well as many household
items.
·
Bertolini said she had damage
to personal items as well as to
the closets and floor in the
downstairs bedroom. Accord-
ing to her, she is still waiting to
hear about compensation from
the Housing office.

she said.

service, but had a different ex-
pectation of what the day would
be like.
.
Marissa Thornton, sopho-
more, said she was disappointed
in the low turnout.
"I went for my sorority, Sigma
Sigma Sigma, and we sat at a
booth and made beaded brace-
lets that are going to be donated
to children of battered women,"
she said. "But I thought it was
going to be much bigger and
that there would be lot inore
people involved."
Many students feel the low
turnout was due to the event
being held in the Cabaret this
year. They said it was con-
stantly crowded and uncornfort-
ably wann.
Flesh said the location's small
size did not suit the purposes
of such a big event as Diversity
Day.
"When I walked into the Caba-
ret it was so overcrowded and
hot," she said. "It was too
cramped. I think it should have
been outside· because it would
be·more spacious."
According to the presidential
committee, the idea of holding
Diversity Day outside was
looked into carefully and then
decided against.
Antoine said there were many
factors in the location decision.
"It was warm maybe for people
to be outside, but as far as the
dancers being outside, they
weren't wearing appropriate
clothing and we wouldn't want
to see them wearing sweatpants
and sweatshirts," he said. ''The
groundkeepers also wanted to
make sure that the grounds were
well kept for graduation. All
those concerns made us put it
inside."
Among many issues raised on
Saturday was one of gender
equality. JoAnnf: Myers, assis-
tant professor of political sci-
ence, attended Diversity. Day
and gave a lecture. According
to her, people can not absorb all
these concepts in just one day.
"I think the turn out was lower
than last year. I think that we
need more than one day for Di-
versity Day," she said. I did a
lecture on gender equality. I
think there are issues that
young women and men need to
confront that we haven't
reached an equality."

The Easter bunny will Soo be here
by
CHRISTYBARR
_
Staff Writer
The history and symbols of
Easter date
-
back to ancient
times, but the traditions have
evolved over many years.
Easter began as the feast of
Passover in Jerusalem when
Jesus, a Jew, was crucified and
then rose from the dead.
_
While there is no indication of
the observance of Easter in the
New Testament or in the Writ-
ings of the Apostolic Father,
chllrches throughout the East
and West celebrate it as a major
feast.
Since the Council of Nicaea
in AD 325, Easter has been cel-
ebrated on the
-
Sunday follow-
ing the first full moon after the
Spring equinox.
-
The tradition of Easter pa-
rades began during the Middle
Ages in Europe _when people
would take a long walk in their
· new clothes after Easter mass.
Rabbits, eggs,
·
and of course
the Easter bunny are all Easter
symbols that have· evolved at
different times.
Rabbits evolved as a pre-
Christian fertility symbol and
were used as images of Christ's
post-resurrection appearance.
The rabbits were noted for
their capacity of abundant pro-
duction of the young, especially
in the springtime.
Ancient Egypt and Persia are
responsible for the egg symbol
evolving. Friends would ex-
change decorated eggs as a
symbol of creation, fertility, and
new life because the coming
forth of a live creation from an
egg surprised people of ancient
times.
The Easter bunny first
evolved
in
Germany in the 1500s.
The Germans believed that the
Easter bunny laid red eggs on
Holy Thursday and multicolored
eggs the night before Easter
Sunday.
Over the years many Easter
traditions have continued.
The tradition of dyeing Easter
eggs is one which children ev-
erywhere take part iri. ·
These dyed eggs are then hid-
den for children to find in the
Easter egg hunts. All over the
world children hunt for hidden
eggs.
However, the biggest tradition
has to be the Easter baskets that
are left for the Easter bunny to
fill with candy. It is a tradition
much like that of Santa Claus at
Christmastime, only instead of
gifts, children receive candy.
And of course, there is the
Easter Day Parade on New York
City's 5th Avenue. This parade
is the biggest in
·
the United
States and carries on the tradi-
tion set forth back in the Middle
Ages of Europe.

"It was a name people recog-

who aren't interested in the
type
of music can still come and have
fun," she said.
The concert is being held April
17 in the McCann Center. Last
week was the first week of ticket
three weeks later that the con-
cert was going to happen as
soon as they had a signed con-
tract.
The members of Cherry
Poppin' Daddies include Steve
Perry on vocals and guitar, Ja-

Schmid on bass, Tim Donahue
on drums, Dana Heitman on

saxophone, Ian Early on bari-

resurgence of the swing move-
ment
Many students at Marist have
been swept up in the swing craze
and have taken lessons offered
by the college. Many have also
purchased the "Daddies" album
along with other swing albums.
Suydam said that she has
heard nothing but positive feed-
back about the concert.
"Many people were jumping
up and down when they found
out the concert was being held
and even people who weren't
sure of who the band was were

April
Fool's
l)ay
is
.no
joke
by
COURTNEY CONNOLLY
Staff Writer
What do Jenny Craig, Chris-
tianity, Dick Clark; and a paper
fish all have in co_mmon?
They all believe in new begin-
nings?
Actually, they are aUcommon
denominators in the celebration
of an "obligation-free" holiday
that can tum a person into an
uneasy idiot or an impish
jokester. It can be called the day
where anything goes or as Mark
Twain coined it, "the day we re-
member what we are the other
364 days of the year." Better yet,
it can be called April fool's
Day.·
Most people don't kno»' the
origins' of this' day 'of pranks,
they ju~t know that if there is
someone in their lives they want
to make look like a moron, that
this is the day to do it.·
Doug Wilderotter,junior, said
he remembers his last April
Fool's dlly prank.
"Sophomore year, we got the
keys to my· friend's room and
took all her furniture and stacked
it in· front of her door so she
couldn'tgetin,"hesaid. "When
she finally got the door open,
she had to climb over a dresser,
bed and a pile of books. It was
great;"
· Such "jokes" actually served
apurpose ( other than self-grati-
fication) during this holiday's
conception.
.
· In. the sixteenth century, the
start
of the ~ew y~ar.'was
~b~
served on the first of April,
much as it is today in January
(Dick and Jenny probably would
have preferred this time slot).
But, in 1562, Pope Gregory cre-
ated a new calendar for the
Christian world placing the New
Year on the first of January.
Many people didn't believe
that this cha~ge had honestly
occurred, so they continued to
celebrate the holiday on April
1.
Those who acknowledged the
switch began to play tricks on
the gullible ones sticking with
the pre-tradition and labeled
them "April fools," often send-
ing them on little false trips or
"fools' errands."

Marist shows no

I

campus communities actions' when corrective measures have been taken and
implemented
,
'
·
·
Last month
,
Marist officials and the D.O
.
T. have proposed a solution (whether
it
be temporary or permanent) to the problem. At the Fulton.Road/Route 9 main gate
entrance to the campus,
_
the D.Q.T. has changed the timing cycle on the traffic
.
light to a11ow a cyc1e where pedestrians have the complete right-of-way
.
That is to
say,
·
that all four sides of the intersection have a red light, while all four cross-
walks have a walk signal. In order for this to work, however, it was necessary to
implement a "No Tum on Red" law to all four street comers to prevent vehicles
from making legal right turns while pedestrians could be in the crosswalk.
Despite how "well" the solution works, the entire Marist community should be
enthused at the advancement. Instead,
•
however, I see people at all hours of the
day fotally disregarding the sign and making right turns on red anyway. Is that
not what the students fought for in the first place? Now that a corrective action
has been implemented the campus community still chooses to disregard it, even
though they will be the first to complain when another accident happens.
·
_
I realize this solution may not have been the best
_
one, but you've got to accept
the decision that the college has made. I am writing to express my outrage that
this law isn't being enforced by Poughkeepsie or Marist security officials and to
express my outrage at the members
.
of the campus community who choose to
·
disobey the law, no matter how
light
the f19w of traffic may_ be on Route 9
.
,
.
I, for one, am happy at the progress that the coHege
·
has made addressing this
matter, although I realize better soJutions
.
would
be
more procluctive. Nonetheless,
don't even consider honking your horn at me when I'm stopped with my right
blinker on waiting for the green light to make my right tum onto Route 9

I
do not believe that
there was any threat of Catholic
bashing. On the other hand,
there are not many Marist stu-
dents that display their gay pride
flags on campus. This does not
mean that homosexuals are not
present at Marist. In fact, they
are very much a part of our cam-
pus, but fear prevents them from
being visible. Does the name
Matthew Shepard ring a bell?
It is true that many groups on
campus are in fact persecuted
minorities. However, Catholics
are not one of these groups. As
college students, we are sup-
posed to open our minds and
explore issues from different
perspectives. Do not mistake
the inclusion of minority groups
in your academic discussions as
intolerance towards the norm.
Oh,and it is very symbolic that
the new library towers over the
chapel crucifix.
It
should serve
. as a reminder that Marist Col-
lege is no longer a Catholic train-
ing school, but rather is an aca-
demic institution.

We lined up· at the gate and

headed for another line, not sure
what to expect at the end.

we reached a door.
An attendant urged us to pack
in to a dark room, and we were
instructed not to sit down, as
we needed to fit as many people
in as possible. We complied and
the door shut behind us. Sev-
eral large monitors clicked on
and a couple of popular movie
stars came on the screen to brief

double doors at the opposite
end of the room. We watched
in silence.

early seventies when he dances

I
refrain from actu-
ally doing s9. It would be rather
silly and I would probably have
to deal with permanent institu-
tiomilization. Two and a half
more semesters at Marist are
more than enough institution
for me, thank you VERY much.
So, rather than put up with
being penned up for the rest of
my life, I stared at the monitor
and went through the motions
of the interactive movie trailer,
which was a simulated tornado.
After the storm, . we were
herded through a gift shop sell-
ing worthless garbage with
movie logos on
it.
It was a fit-
ting end, but that was only the
beginning.

series of similar lines and were

"Yeah, I was kind of thinking
that too, you know, with all of
us just following along like
sheep:- You can kind of see the
brainwashing element of this
place."
"You guys are sick. I would
never think of that."
So, yeah, we were kind of var-
ied regarding how we perceived
our day at Universal Studios,
but however way we looked at
it, it showed that the tragedy of
the Nazi Holocaust is some.:.
thing that c~n happen again.
Two ofus refrained from rebel-
ling from waiting in the Hnes,
despite qualms. We did not
know what was ahead, we put
our trust in the hands of the
theme park. The other was so
trusting of authority, that she
passed our slight qualms
as
sick.
We stood in another dark
· room, waiting to see another set
of monitors switch on and an-
other celebrity endorse our
safety. A day at a park can not
compare to the tragedy of the
Holocaust, but it can make us
think. It only takes one person
to exploit our trust.

the student produced 'Every-
thing but the Kitchen Sink.'
Last year, Dylan Edgar and
Jeff Sutphen had a dream. They
dreamt about a variety show
that starred Marist students and
that was also written, produced
and edited by Marist students.
Luckily for MCTV viewers, they
brought this dream to life.

Lower East Side in New York
City.~Jt has a large cast includ-

Affleck, Courtney Love, Chris-
tina Ricci, Jay Mohr, and
JaneaneGarafalo. All the char-
acters in this film are all trying
to get to a party thrown by
Monica, played by Martha
Plimpton .. The movie is all about
what happens on the way to the
party. At times the movie seems
a little disjointed, but that is
overcome by great -acting -and
spectacular realism. The entire
movie was shot on location in
the East Village. Anyone famil-
iar with the area will recognize
almost every street that they
walk down. One of the clubs
featured in the film, a punk rock
club called "Satan's Pit," is ac-
tually Coney Island High on St.
Mark's Place. Most of the ex-
tras in the set are the regulars
there, and did not need any cos-
tumes or make up.

many of them go on odd and
hellish journeys in the Lower
East Side. One of the journeys,
taken by Val and Bridget (Ricci
and Gaby Hoffman), takes two
frightened Long Islanders lost
in the Village trying to find this
party. Another trip centers
around Lucy and Kevin, played
by Love and Paul Rudd, who are
two friends who always should
have become lovers, but just did
not. All of the acting is superb
and help carry a basically lack-
luster script.
David Chappele plays a pot
smoking, disco loving cabbie
who manages to pick up most
of the characters throughout the
course of the night. This serves
to help bind the different char-
acters and show the common
connection between them. His
performance is wonderful and
serves as comic relief between
some very self-evaluating
scenes.
The intertwining stories can
be hard to follow. The stories
themselves are not confusing,
sometimes you just forget who
all the characters are, and by the
time you figure it out you may
have missed something. Some
of these stories lag a little too
· much and distract from some of
the more entertaining aspects of
the film.
Overall this is a very enter-
taining film. It is not one of the
best movies that I have seen
this year. But it was worth niy
$8.50. So if you fi_nd yourself
looking for some movie to see
this weekend go check out '200
Cigarettes.'
depth and musicality.
Throughout the album, the
three members of the group dis-
play their own respected talents,
but
Pull Down The Shade
is a
good example of the sound that
is created when all three shine.
In the song, Babbino brings a
quick consistent drumbeat,
while the Kwas brothers blend
their instruments together to
produce an infectious riff. Brian
Kwas's vocals also mesh well
with the guitar melodies of the
tune.
The band throws different
sounds and styles at the listener,
but the definite strong point of
the CD is the catchy alternative
pop that the trio crafts. A num-
ber of songs on the album hold
this trait and definitely could
easily be placed onto any mod-
em rock station.
If you are interested in get-
ting a copy of the album or you
would like some information on
upcoming shows, you can con-
tact Kevin at 575-5016.

I am grateful that I have the
opportunity to share my experi-
ence with you because the same
can happen to all of you. You
do not have to waste your life
with alcoholic activities and su-
perficial barroom relationships.
Life is out there! Real, pure, tan-
gible life! For two weeks I have
had a divine buzz and I never
wake up with a hangover. I wake
up with a smile on my face be-
cause ahead of me lies another
day. Another day to experience
life and all its majesty. So as a
journalist and
as
a friend, I tell
you this. You will not find mere
joy in sobriety, you will find nir-
vana.
If
you believe one word of
what you have just read, you
are a ****ing moron. Happy_

Rossetti. Rossetti walked the
first two batters he faced before
settling down and getting Corey
Pike to pop-out t9 short. An
infield single scored another
run making the score 8-3.
Rosseui showed some gall by
buckling down and fanning the
next batter for the second out.
Coach Szefc then brought in
his stopper Bryan Dickdan.
Dickdan however, hit the first
batter he faced to bring in an-
other run

Then Hoover hit a

Szefc said Bocchino and
Connelly played really well.
"Our three hitter (Bocchino)
is hitting like

"Dougy's got a lot of guts out
there. He fell behind some bat-
ter but battled back."
The second game was not as

Staff Writer
Sjnce beginning the season
by winning five out of its first
eight games, the Marist College
softball team has s~ggled
.
-
The Red Foxes dropped a pair
of games to Big East foe Seton
Hall last Saturday, extending
Marist's current losing
str~
to
five games. Marist is now 5-8
on the year.
Seton Hall defeated the Foxes
in game one by the scor:e ~f 5-2,
and completed the sweep with
a
6-2
triumph over the Red Foxes
in the second game of the
doubleheader.
·
In game one, Mari st was held
to only three hits as the Pirates'
.
. .
Misty Beaver stymied the Foxes,
striking out 12.
·
The game was tied at two
apiece going into the sixth in~
ning,
_
until Seton Hall used an
RBI double by Natalie
:
Denning
to take a 3-2 advantage. The
Pirates then used a pair of RBI
doubles in the seventh to keep
the game out ofreach.
·
The second game of the
double-dip was not much bet~
ter for the Foxes, as they man-
aged only four hits against Se-
ton Hall's Jenn Berghoff. Marist
dug itself a hole early when Jen
Rosant, who went 3-3 in game
one, smashed a two-run
homerun. The 3-0 lead held by
Seton Hall after the first inning
was enough, as Marist's bats

neve~ woke up.
· Earlier in the week, on
Wednesday,· Hartford traveled
to North Field, and subse-
quently left with a pair of one~

run victories.
·
·
Marist wasted a splendid
pitching performance by
Melanie Kasack in game one, as
Hartford managed a 1-0 win. In
game two, Maristjumped ahead
to a 2-0 lead in the first inning
but never scored again, as the
Foxes fell 3-2 in eight innings.
In game one, all the scoring
occurred in the fourth inning.
Tamara Jaworoski led off the in-
ning for Hartford with a double.
After Kasack retired the next
two batters, an error by Marist
first baseman Jenn Hanson al-
lowed Jaworoski to score, yield-
ing the only run of the contest.
Hartford's Elizabeth Nadeau
allowed only one hit over her
seven innings, a seventh inning
double by Amanda Koldjeski.
Marist wasted no time getting
on the board in the second
game. Michele Gosh led off the
game with a double. After mov-
ing to third on a base hit, Kerri
Harris drove in two on a two-
out single.
Pitcher Jenn Hanson held that
lead until the seventh inning.
Hartford trailed 2-1 going into
the final frame
.
After allowing a
leadoff single, Hanson was re-
p laced on the mound by
Kasack. Kasack was unable to
preserve the victory, as she sur-
rendered three hits and the ty-
ing run.
After Marist was unable to
score in its half of the seventh,
Nadeau led off the eighth with a
single. She was sacrificed to
second, and then moved over
to third on a groundout by Dana
Kennett.
Jaworoski then
knocked in the go--ahead, and
eventual winning, run with a
single.
Harris was 2-3 for Marist, with
a pair of RBI. For Hartford,
Jaworoski led the attack by go-
ing5-5.
Kasack took the loss in relief,
dropping her record to 3-4.
Marist is in action next Tues-
day at North Field when they
play host to Quinnipiac.
