.
The Praxis Project is
a
trans-
disciplinary approach to heads,
hearts and hands~on learning.
Praxis-based education rests on
two major premise~. The first is
that all genuine knowledge
.
originates in direc,(experience
and the second is that the main
purpose of educatj~i(is to cre-
ate a more just and co~passion-
ate society.
Peter-Raoul said the project
incorporates many areas of phi-
losophy.
"Praxis jojns experjence and
inquiry," she said. '

'It reveals

noble possibilities of the human
condition."
.
·
·
Students at Marist can earn
a
minor certificate in Public Praxis
by taking21 credits ov~r four
tracks in courses such as Hu-
man Values and Choices, Hu-
man Rights, Poverty and Afflu-
ence and a Public Praxis core.
Other students get involved by
.
initiating Praxis Projects around
the area or in disaster struck re-
gions.
Professors such
·
as Brother
·
Frank Kelly, who teaches The
Bible, and Peter-Raoul, who
teaches Philosophy World Val-
ues and Views, make the Praxis
Project mandatory for their stu-
dents.
John Ntcolucci, a sophomore
currently enrolled in The Bible,
said the experie~ce has taught
him
a lot
.
"I participated in Habitat for
Humanity on two Saturday
mornings," he said. "I think it's
a good way for students to get
involved
in
the community of
Poughkeepsie. When you're
there you get such a sense of
accomplishment Even after the
community services hours are
over for The Bib1e; I am going
to go back so that
I
can finish
the house."
Patrick Kempf, a sophomore
Habitat for Humanity partici-
pant, said he did not mind the
work either.
·
According to him,
it was afun time.
"It felt really good to help out
people in need and I would defi-
nitely do it again," he said.
"I
might even do it before the end
of the year again."
Even though some students
may not have enjoyed their

placement of community ser-
vice, they understood the ne-
cessity for it.
Freshman Emily Schwab, cur-
rently
in Philosophy World
Views and Religions, volun-
teered at the Salvation Army for
the project.
"I workedl2 hours at the Sal-
vation Army. We had to do it
for our Praxis Project and then
write
a reaction paper for it," she
said.
'
'
I
would do something else
with community service, but I
would not go back to the Salva-
tion Army."
Many professors have
adapted this method of teach-
ing to
'
their curriculum. They
believe that students will learn
more if they are able to get ex-
perience. According to Moses,
students learn more with the
hands-on experience.
''Learning goes better when stu-
dents have the chance to explore
the connections between theory
and practice," he said.

There are many campus activi-

ties that enhance the leisure time
of many Marist students. ·
·
Billiards is one of these activi-
ties.
Along with the regular base-
ball, football, basketball, and
other teams there is now also a
billiards league. Playing pool

could
.
once could have been
thought as something that
people did on their free time.
Now it can be thought ofas

a
challenging sport.
The Marist College billiards
team is very competitive and
enjoyed by its many members.
Scott Teabo, billiards league
member, said he enjoys the pool-
playing experience.
"I love it because

Teabo also said that there is
an increased amount of mem-
bers since the previous year.
"This year there is a good
handful of members, whereas
last year there were only two
girls and three boys," he said.
Teabo said he had a good ex-
perience at the billiards tourna-
ment competition that he was
involved in.

in ordei: to
get through your

GEMINI:
You,Gemini,
are a great story teller
at
the
best of times but
even you can some-
ti mes forget the
punch line. You'll
have them so lost in
the moment and en-
gaged in your tales
though, that they will
be willing to cut you

you are providing is

.
CANCER:
The higher
your profile, the
greater your chances
of getting egg on your
face. As long as you
.
have been warned
you can avoid any em-
barrassment. People
might just think that it
is another one of your
eccentricities.
•
Being
outright outrageous
may be in the mix, but
·
be
sure to
_
cater your
actionsto fit the mood
ofthetrioment. Impor-
tant transitions go
much more smoothly
when conducted in
private. Use your
excess creative en-
ergy to get the best
value in any interac-
tion.
LEO:
Extra dashes of
soul
_
.
and pinches of
passion make for a
brilliant day.
It
makes
for the perfect mixture
with a result that will
send your heart soar-
ing. You are light re-
flecting off water, dou-
bling the shine and
heat. Your radiance is
exuded from every as-
pect
of your being. Ev-
erything you under-
take today begins or
ends with a flourish.
Know that the warmth
that is coming from
within you will keep
you cozy long after
the sun has gone
down and the forecast
for the next few days
is in your favor.
VIRGO:
A glut of
new data might make
you want to throw up
your hands in the air
in frustration.

is

:
·
your desk is buried
.
·
urider an avalanche of
confusion; Let your
desire to be orga-
nized, though;
•
take
over before every-
thing comes tumbling
down. Do your best
.
to avoid the overbear-
ing people that may
frequent your
interactions and you
will be somewhat
saved from feeling like
the underdog. Know
though that most
·
people love to root for
the underdog, so you
may find the support
.
that you really need.
LIBRA:
Ideas, ideals
and ideolqgies are far
.
more important today
than actually getting
down in the trenches
and doing the work
.
Delve into the aca-
demic way of think-
ing,
·
ditch the minor
details, and find a
friend with which you
can brainstorm
.
Oth-
ers may look to you
for all of the answers,
but use this to spark
further debate. Push-
ing the envelope will
raise the level of dis-
cussion to a whole
new level. A good cup
of coffee and a good
friend have the poten-
tial to keep you satis-
fied for hours.
SCORPIO:
Your
boss or some other
authority figure may
be a big problem to-
day so try your best
to remain calm. If you
can stay by the side-
lines the problem will
not be defined by
you. Be warned that
there is potential for a
small career crisis -
you have been well
warned though which
will
help you deal
with
it when it arises. Use
your Scorpionic pow-
ers of concentration
until you are content
that all outbursts of
frustration are out of
.
other's hearing range.
SAGITTARIUS:
As
the Moon passes into
Leo, you may find
yourself eager to take
inventory of the great
things that have come
your way. Put them in
order and file them in
an t:asy access place
in your mind. Rooting
through all of them
will just lead to con-
fusion, although it is
likely to make you
smile at the fortune
that has chosen you
as a benefactor. Be
willing to open up and
accept the mystery.
Some things just can-
not be accounted for
and the attempt to do
so will only detract
from the fun.
CAPRICORN:
You
have probably had
better days than the
one that will greet you
today.
Try
to avoid
contracts dealing with
shared resources to-
day. You may want to
look at the situation
with practicality and
figure out
if
your deal-
ing with an ego, or
with the real person.
Things are not likely
to be as they seem.
The facades have
been build that the
masks have been
donned in order to in-
fluence the reality that
you believe that you
are viewing.
AQUARIUS:
A
sur-
prise party becomes
surprising
for every-
.
, .
one when friends
· -
from different camps
attend. Both
sides
though, are wise
enough to be open to
the ways of the other.
The encounter has the
potential to have
you wavering be-
tween two extremes.
Compromise between
the two sides will not
come easily, but may
result in a mutual re-
spect between the par-
ties and the party. Ro-
mantic partners may
contradict one an-
other in their daily
ways. Aquarians who
take it upon them-
selves to truly free
their spirits will have
an
excellent day.
PISCES:
Pamper your
~assions and take the
time to recharge your
battery.
It
is an oppor-
tune time to do
some-
thing nice for yourself
right now. Other
people may have fixed
ideas of the way
things should be, but
know that you don't
need to conform to
any set strategy. In
fact, getting caught
up in the daily dramas
of those around you
has the potential to be
quite detrimental.
Mind your own busi-
ness and keep your-
self close to the grind-
stone.
You know how
to find the path to
your own success· if
you can keep
fo-
cused. Being set in
stone is against your
changeable nature.

rounded by family members.
So how
large is large?
I
have
five aunts, five uncles, one
grandmother ( one is deceased),
one grandfather (one
is
de-
ceased), and five cousins. Then
there is my immediate family,
which also numbers five: two
younger brothers, mom and dad
and me.
One of the first things about
being surrounded by my ex-
tended family is the comedy it
tends
to provide. Growing up
and even now
I
often realize
how much my family tends to
resemble the stereotyped large
family in the media. Sunday din-
ners at my Italian grandfather's
house resemble pasta commer-
cials with piles of food, every-
one
.
talking at once, and just
general chaos. I even have a
Great Aunt Bertha to complete
the ste
-
reotypical large family.
Vacations are also often taken
en masse. Before I was born my
parents, maternal grandparents,
and several of my aunts and
uncles would take trips together.
This warranted the purchase of
a twelve-person tent! Trips with
a large number of people that I
remember include various camp-
ing trips where we took up three
or more sites and a trip to Myrtle
Beach.
These trips often resulted in
more comedic stories to add to
the family scrapbook including
the Giocondo/Wolpink curse;
that it will always pour at least
one day when we are camping.
There was one camping trip .
where fifteen of us ended up
crammed like sardines into a tiny
pop-up camper because the
tents flooded!

close family
by
JILLGIOCONDO
Some have said that the ex-
tended family has gone the way
of hula-hoops and poodle skirts,
becoming part of the nostalgia
people seek
to
reclaim. My fam-
ily must be the exception to the
norm then because I grew up
surrounded by my extended
family.
The mere fact that within fif-
teen minutes of my house are
aU of my relatives, except for
one aunt and uncle who moved
to California, seems to boggle
people's minds and many of my
friends have deemed it unusual.
I
often have to agree with them

ings start to tum crazy or I feel

important my family is and how

to
grow up sur-
rounded by family members.
So
how
large is large?
I
have
five aunts, five uncles, one
grandmother ( one is deceased),
one grandfather (one is de-
ceased), and five cousins. Then
there is my immediate family,
which also numbers five: two
younger brothers, mom and dad
and me.
One of the first things about
being surrounded by my ex-
tended family is the comedy it
tends
_
to provide. Growing up
and even now
I
often realize
how much my family tends to
resemble the stereotyped large
family in the media. Sunday din-
ners at my Italian grandfather's
house resemble pasta commer-
cials with piles of food, every-
one
.
talking at once, and just
general chaos. I even have
a
Great Aunt Bertha to complete
the stereotypical large family.
Vacations are also often taken
en masse. Before I was born my
parents, maternal grandparents,
and several of my aunts and
uncles would take trips together.
This warranted the purchase of
a twelve-person tent! Trips with
a large number of people that

Beach.
These trips often resulted in
more comedic stories to add to
the family scrapbook including
the Giocondo/Wolpink curse;

A few years ago we got a film
out of the UK called

to become fairly successful
when it was transported to the
states. After- that, a series of
rather forgettable British films
made their way over to our side .
but none of them could rely
capture the eccentric inanity of
'Trainspotting.' Director Danny
Boyle created a panoramic car-
toon about the'heroin subcul-
rure
in England that approached
its subject with subdued com-
edy and humorous pathos.
Boyle has yet to repeat his own
success, but freshman director
Guy Ritchie may have beat him
to the ·punch.
.
'Lock, Stock and Two Smok-
ing Barrels' is a UK film about a
group of friends who lose a fixed
poker game and wind up owing _
a dangerous gangster large
amounts of pounds. During the
movie, the four friends spend
most Of their time drinking,
smoking and gener.tlly falling in
and out of good and bad luck.
Mostly, they just react to the
colorful set of supporting play-
ers that surround the group.
Included are a Samuel Jackson-
esque drug dealer who likes to
set people on fire, a mob
strongann who is touchingly
raising his 12-year-old son to
follow in his footsteps, a Jabba
The Hut-like porn peddler, and
a second group of friends who
concern themselves with rob-
bing a peace-loving band of
marijuana growers. The plot is
a kind of "robbing Peter to pay
Paul" set of circumstances that
culminates in one of t~e bloodi-
est and funniest shoot-outs I
have seen since 'Enemy Of The
State.' .The first group of friends
decides to pay the debt back by
robbing the second group of
criminal lowlifes, and this in tum
gets our heroes into even deeper
trouble. The plot is not as com-
plex as
it
sounds but there is a
large cast and it is important to
keep people's names and moti-
vations straight to enjoy the
violent payoff.
Critics wrote 'Lock Stock' off
as a very, very well-done
Tarantino clone and;
fo
a way,'it
is (although Richie maintains
that he has not seen Pulp Fic-
tion). 'Lock Stock' plays des-
perate measures for laughs and
several times a shotgun blast to
someone's limbs is considered
a punchline. Despite the vio-
lence and nihilistic attitude of
the film, we do get a glimpse at a
side of England's society that
is never really approached in
many UK films. For example, the
phenomena of "laddism" which
describes a ritual of boozing,
cigarette smoking, wearing of
black leather jackets and soccer

new job she also received
$25,000 dollars and a new Kia
Sportage. Not bad for a weeks
work. It was obvious to me that
Thalia was going to win, but I
was kind of disappointed she
did. Thalia

seems to be, in the
plainest temis
I
can put it; a
b**ch. Throughout the
'
show
she acted in an unpleasant man~
ner as
if
the other contestants
were no match for her. When she
did win and was crowned by
last years winnerJesse (or the
human annoyance as
;
I
like to
call him) she had the audacity
to say "watch my hair." Also in
-
the press conference after
_
the
show Thalia preceded to act like
a belligerent idiot
as
if she were

the Queen of England. She will
end up doing low budget porn
in a hotel room somewhere in

son who could have done the
job justice. Better luck next year

'Go' is the new film by Doug
Limon, the director of the criti-
cally acclaimed
film
'swingers.'
'Go' is yet another one of
those increasingly more
.
com-
mon films where different sto-
ries try to intertwine with each
other. Like most of the other
recent attempts at this, such as
'200 Cigarettes,' this attempt
comes up lacking. This is not
due to
a
problem with the indi-
vidual stories, but in the formu-
laic fashion in which they all end
up.
The stories are well done, but
it seems more like
a
collection
of short films then a whole
movie: The story takes place in
one night and follows a group
of people through a wild, con-
fusing, and odd evening. The
first story centers on Ronna,
played by Sarah Polley. Ronna
does not have enough money
to pay her rent, so when an op-
portunity arises to make a drug
deal that would give her enough
cash, she gives it a shot. Things
go wrong and she finds herself
being hunted down by the an-
gry dealer.
The second story centers
around Simon and Marcus,
played by Desmond Askew and
Taye Diggs. They journey to
Las Vegas with two other
friends and proceed to get in all
sorts of trouble. Simon finds
himself running naked through
a hotel, stealing a car with
Marcus and having an alterca-
tion in a strip club that leads to
a high-speed chase through the
streets of Las Vegas. This is
arguably the most well done of
the short stories.
It is very remi-
niscent of' Swingers.' It has the
same kind of humor, and yet still
manages to tell an intelligent
story.
The third tale is arguably the
most disturbing. It centers on
two actors, Zack and Adam,
who have a legal problem. They
go along with a sting operation
put together by Burke, played
by William Fichtner. After the
operation fails they are invited
over for Christmas Eve dinner
at Burke's house. This leads to
an odd and bizarre altercation
with Burke and his wife. The
·
film tries to connect them too
much to the other tales and for
some reason lets it come up lack-'
ing with a too easy way out for
the character's troubles,
This film is all connected with
a final scene centering on
Ronna's friend Claire, played by
Katie Holmes. This ending to
the film-seems too simple. The
characters get themselves into
bad situations that should not
be as easily fixed as they
·
are.
The ending is not as intelligent
as the stories and takes the
standing of the film down a few
notches. Perhaps my love for
'Swingers' made me go in ex-
pecting a little more from this
film.
This is a decent film, it is
just not what I expected.

The Marist Lacrosse team suf-
fered a heart breaking loss last
Wednesday when they fell to
the Siena Saints 12-11.
The game was close all the
way
,
and in the final minute of
play, the Saints were able to put
in the game winner and erase all
hope for the Red Foxes to finish
.500 in the MAAC this season.
The much anticipated Siena
game became an all out war with
both teams scoring impressive

'
The best player of a golden
age in sports retired this year,
and his name is not Michael Jor-
dan.
Wayne Gretzky, the Great One,
retired Sunday to a spectacular,
well-deserved ceremony that
saw his number 99 retired from
the
NHL
forever.
Gretzky, unlike Jordan, does not
have his face plastered all over
the airwaves or all over various
merchandise, he went about his
business of being the greatest
hockey player ever very quietly.
Some may look at that
as
a posi-
tive about Gretzky. However,
there is no question Jordan
raised his sport to a higher level
that Gretzky did with hockey.
Jordan's high-powered mar-
keting machine ·and personable
attitude elevated him to
·
a sta-
tus higher
than
any athlete ever,
except for maybe Muhammed
Ali. People all around the world
knew who Jordan was even if
they knew nothing about the
game of basketball. Jordan was
basketball f<;>r all they knew.
·
However, in comparing statis-
tics, Gretzky's accomplishments
are matched in
·
basketball only
by
Wilt
Chamberlain, notJordan.
It was Chamberlain who scored
the most points
·
in
·
one game,
who had the hig_hest average in
a season, and has'the highest
average for'acai:eer. Jordan did
·
not revolutionize his sport like
Chamberlain and
_
Gretzky, but he
did more to
·
popularize a sport
than any other athlete.
Before Jordan and Magic
Johnson arid Larry
·
Bird, NBA
games were televised on tape
delay. Today the NBA enjoys
contracts with NBC and Turner
Broadcasting arid bring in very
. good ratings that were unimag-
inable in the past.
.
The
NHL,
however, has been
solidified as the fourth major
team sport and probably always
will be. Not even the Great One
could change that.
Jordan raised
his
sport
·
to a
,
high.er
level than
,
Gretzky
did
I
guess there are not any res-
ervations about the black quar-
terback anymore, huh?
Three of the five quarterback's
~en in round one of the 1999
NFL draft were black, including
'
Donovan McNabb, the number
two overall
pick
and Akilli
Smith, the number three overall
pick. Shaun King, out of Tulane,
was taken in the second round
by Tampa
·
Bay, making four
black quarterbacks selected
.
in
the top 50 picks.
.
·
One of the last remaining ra-
cial hurdles
-
in:the world of
sports,
.
the percentage of black
quarterbacks;in the NFL com-
pared to the rest of the positions
·
is enormously different. Many
reasons for that include the
myths of black quarterbacks not
being smart enough or enough
of a leader to be a quality signal
caller.
In 1988, Doug Williams led his
Washington R.edskins to the
Super Bowl, only to be asked
continuously about the pres-
sures of representing
an
entire
race and ending possible stereo~
types. Including one question
from one
·
of
.
the smarter media
members who asket, "How long
have you been a black quarter-
backT' Williams went out and
led his team to the victory and
captured the MVP award.
Since then, however, no black
quarterbacks have led their team
to the Super
Bowl. With more
emphasis placed on mobility
from the QB's due to the rash of
injuries at the position the la~t
two or three years, more and
more black quarterbacks are get-
ting an opporttinity at the pro
level.
It
is about time.

Marist came out with six runs in

and followed that up with eight
runs in the second inning.
The first batter of the game
was Cervino and he led off with
a solo home run. Later in the
inning Steve O'Sullivan also
homered, this one a two-run
blast that gave Marist a 5-0 lead.
The second inning was also big
.
for O'Sullivan. The second
baseman hit a two-run triple in
the inning for the second of his
three hits in the game. The Red
Foxes collected seven hits in the
inning
.
Starting pitcher Ken Catino
struck out four in four innings
before leaving the game when it

came in to pitch a scoreless fifth
inning to get the win.
As enjoyable
as
the sweep of
St. Peter's was, the sweep at the
hands of the Siena Saints was
equally disheartening. After
battling the Saints to a two-
game split just three days ear-
.
lier, the Red Foxes were swept
by Siena
9-5
and
2-1.
.
Game two was an especially
tough lost for Marist as they
held
a
1-0
lead for five innings
before the Saints rallied for two
runs in the bottom of the sixth
to eek out the win.
Marist was one out away from
escaping the sixth inning jam
unscathed, but then first
baseman Sean Dougherty
ended the Red Foxes hopes with
a two run single of starter Kevin
Perucci.
The Red Foxes will be in ac-
tion today when they hit the road
to take on Monmouth at
3:30.

This could be a story of a big
