"If
there's no traffic, people will
still cross wherever, but now,
they will be forced by the fence
to take·a longer route," she said.
Sophomore commuter
Vanessa Koch who parks in the
Beck lot said she finds this so-
lution to be both good and bad.
"It'

safer
for us, but a prob-
lem wheD"we can't cut across
the lawn wh_en running to
class," Koch said.
In addition to serving its pri-
mary function of
.
safety, the
fence was designed to fit in and
enhance the decor of the col-
lege, according to Polom.
Plans for
a
new crosswalk.are
also in the works. Besides the
usual pedestrian walk signs,
there
will
be new warning lights
embedded in the in the walk it-
self. They will have sensory
receptors, so when someone
steps into it, they will flash to
further warn oncoming drivers
of the presence of pedestrians.
In the future, there is talk of a
fence on Beck Street to continue
this funneling process, accord-
ing to Poloin
.
These projects are funded by
the Departmentof Transporta-
tion, and are expected to be
completed

a

cassette player, compact

table and new shelving units.
Nothing has been installedyet.
The station
.
is not currently
airing, but plans to air on Mon-
day. Philbrick said organizing
everything is taking time with-
.
out the manpower needed .
"We're trying to get a good
program down for the campus,"
Philbrick said. "We're
trying
to
establish a format so that dur-
ing the same time eve_ry day
you'll hear the same
·
type of
music."
According to Philbrick, the sl;!.-
tion needs to prove itself before
applying for the license. This
will depend on time, research
and budgetary concerns
.
The station has come a long
way from broadcasting out of a
clo'set
outside
of
:
the
Champagnat hallway. In 1994
WMCR moved to its own office
and booth in the Student Cen-
•
ter. Here the station could fit a
new soundboard.
The station's next big step will
be acquiring this license.
WMCR DJ, Jon Kuehlewind,
known as 'Crazy Jon' to his lis-
teners, said he thinks the license
is a possibility
.
,
:
«I think it's a good goal to aim
for,"
Kuehlewind said. "I think
it could happen in a couple of
years if the college wants it to."

Lis.tening to loud music· not
only
cause of hearing loss
by
ALEXISSCARPINATO
Staff Writer
Have you ever
felt a ringing
or buzzing in your ears after a.
loud concert? Have your ears
ever felt full or -muffled after
mowing the lawn?
If
the answer is yes to either
of these questions, temporary
or gradual hearing loss is occur-
ring.
According to researchers from
Mayo Clinic,
H
percent of
Americans suffer· from some .
level ·of hearing impairment.
Another term used for hear-
ing loss is "presbycusis", or in
other words, "old hearing". In
reality, today's modern techno-
logical age has· made hearing
loss a condition that extends, to
not only the elderly, but to
young people as well.
Symptoms include disorienta-
tion, increased blood press\}re _
and cholesterol, straining to
hear conversation and most
commonly, 'Tinnitus", or ring-
ing of the !.!ru's.
Anlong _adults, hearing loss is
the thirq;l!!.~cliIIg chronic medi:,
cal cotjipiai#t, closely followed
by arthritis.
Society is exposed to· more
noise pollution than realized
and when· exposed to a mini-
mum of70 decibels, hearing can
be lost.
A vacuum cleaner gives off an
approximate 75 decibels and a
concert sends out a powerful
100 decibels to the delicate in-
ner ear. Other common hazards
that often go unnoticed include
stereos, power-tools, car horns,
dishwashers and headphones.
Although the actual sound is
the main ·factor involved with
hearingloss, the duration, prox-
imity, i,md intensity also play an
important part in the gradual
process.
The effects ofloud sounds are
maximized by variables includ-
ing consuming· alcohol, smok- ·
ing, exercising and the con-
sumption of aspirin.

rush is solved
by
JENNIFER
WEINTZ
Staff Writer
In the past week or so stu-
dents may have noticed color-
ful· banners with some pretty
foreign looking letters imprinted
on them in the breezeways of
Champagnat Hall and the Ro-
tunda.
For returning Marist students
this might be a familiar site, but
for. many incoming freshmen,
who are unwise to the whole
sorority/fraternity rushing pro-
cess, this could be slightly con-
fusing.
Questions such as "What is
Rush?" and "What do I have to
do to join in on the Greek life?"
are probably floating through
the minds of many.
_
There are two types of rush.
The first is "fonnal rush" which
takes place in the spring, and
the second is "infonnal rush"
which just took place last week.
The infonnal rush, which is
open to any non-freshmen, con-
sists of a two-night program fol-
lowed by one afternoon on a
weekend.
In order .to take part in this,
students simply sign up with
one of the sororities/fraternities
at the Fall Activities Fair and
then attend the orientation meet-
ing the following Sunday where
they receive each sororities' /fra-
ternities' page.
The page explains events that
the particular sorority/fraternity
sponsors and it also explains
dues and chapter valuables.
Following this is a two-night
· program that runs on a Tues-
. day and Thursday night from
9:30
p.m.
to
11 :30
p.m.
During this time all of the
"rushees" are divided up into
small groups and go into each
sorority/fraternity's room where
they spend 20 minutes viewing
home made videos, pictures and
chapter valuables.
All of the groups then move
onto the next room so that each
person gets a chance to see
what each sorority/fraternity is
like.
On Thursday night it is the
same situation except that this
time the small groups spend half
an hour in each room.
On the weekend afternoon,
which is also part of rushing,
each person receives a bid card.
This shows them which soror-
ity/fraternity they have been
chosen by. Once they receive
the c~rd they can then choose
which sorority/fraternity they
want to be a part of.
Fonnal rush, which takes place
in the spring, is for freshmen and
similar to informal rush, al-
though, it consists of more time
spent getting oriented .
At any point during the pro-
cess of rush, a person can de-
cide to call
it quits and not go
ahead with joining. Even after a
person receives a bid, they are
still free to quit rushing if they
choose to.
Liz Jacobson, vice President
of recruitment, said she thinks
rush is a good experience for
students.
"Rushing is a great chance for
people to meet other people,"
she said. "It's an opportunity
for connections, now and in the
future."

EditOr
Moving into the townhouses ~~ri.s~tnetimes cau;e you to
panic, especially when your mother h,as cooked for you up
until that point. Not only you µo you ask yourself day after
day, "What am I going to cooktonigh('-,you•may also.ask
yourself, "How can I afford ~o coqkwhenl am on a budget."
Well do not foar, there are plenty of ways to save money
when buying groceries, thatis, without having to steal food
from your roommates' cabinets.. , •
·
First and foremost, make a plain old grocery list. Put thy
items you need most on the top .of the list and anything else
·
ymimight want on the bottom. :Now remember, chocolate
chip cookies are not
a
necessity.Jt is better to spend money
on the things that you really:need to survive rather than:on
junk food.Don't be like those guys. in the commercial where
t~ey trade toilet paper for beer.-, -·.· .
Second, clip as many coupons as you.possibly can. No one
will make fun of you, they will be jealous that they spent
$100
. on groceries when you only,spent
$10. ·
And if you really
want to feel organized. you can briy one ofthose cute little
coupon books and separatfthemjnto categories, depending
·up~n how many ofthein you acwally have .. Also remember·
. to compare prices between supennarkets, because some stores
may have
a
better deal on-a'.certain product than others.
Third_, get a discount cardJrom,your favorite supennarket. ·
Most places have them. The stores usually have special sales
that can only be taken advantage of when you have their .
card. All you have to do is give. the card to the cashier at the
beginning of yorir purchase and you'd be surprised at how
much you can save-.
.
Fourth, buy generic. I(you compare.the ingredients be-
tween a lot of generic items and brand name items, you will
find that most of the time, they;are exactly the same. You
. can't go wrong with buying generic q-tips, cheese, or bread.·
Although, there are some things that should not be bought
generic, such as spaghetti sauce arid microwave dinners, just
to be on the safe side. Just find out which ones are best for
you.
Last, save your cans and bottles to bring back to the super-
market. You may not think that you will get a lot of money
back but if one day you have a huge party you are going to
wantto make up for it somehow.Just bring the empties to the
recycling section of the supennarket the next time you go on
a grocery run. And remember $2.15 is $2.15 that you didn't
have before.

At some

point in our lives,
we all feel· stuck in a routine.
Take me, for example. My first
year at Marist, I lived inside ·
Sheahan. Sometimes itfelt as
though my bocjy". were going
through the cyclical motions
of walking from Sheahan to
class, Sheahan to the cafete-
ria, · Sheahan to Mexico
(oops!), repeat, repeat ...
There's not really any
sense in fighting against the
ritualis,tic natures of our lives ..

evening was simple. We were
supposed
io
meet Brian's
friends at Wendy's at 7 :30 and
then walk to Town Hall, where
the concert would begin at
-8:00. · After, that, we had to
catch the 1 :20 AM train from
Grand Central, or find some-
where to sleep. The first prob-
lem occurred when Brian's
friends weren't at Wendy's
and we had to find Town Hall
on our own. After 20 minutes
of -meandering around 6th

-"Manhattan????"
-"Thank you!"
The operator I talked with
was
a
young woman. We hit
itoff really well. She answered
my questions playfully, mock-
ing my overly friendly tone of
voice. She had no trouble
finding Town Hall· and she
even ended the conversation
with "Well, I'll see you
later ... Bye ... " That was nice,
but afterwards it struck me as
disturbing that I could flirt
with an operator on the phone
better than with most girls in
real
life ...

Having a personal sense

very

The

'Reliving

By
MIQIAEL TJ.IOMPSON,

This week (Sept. 20:24),
NBC.
begins_ its new fall season, a~~. .
for the first time since the fall of
1994, the sitcom NewsRadio will
not be included among the
shows making their season pre~
mieres. For the uninitiated,
NewsRadio is a workplace com-
edy, dealing with the inner-work-
ings of the fictional radio sta-
tion WNYX in New York City.
While it is a shame the show is
not on the schedule, it is not
very surprising. Since it debuted
in March of 1995,
NewsRadio
has received almost universal
critical acclaim. Yet NBC, for rea-
sons known only to the execu-
tives at the network, failed to
acknowledge the show's ap-
peal, and treated the show
poorly for almost all of the four-
and-a-half years it was on the
air. NBC changed-the show's
time slot several times during its
run, making it almost impossible
for a large audience to find ·
NewsRadio. Additional1y, the
show was paid little attention by
the promotions department at

Smith said. "Most plays were

all that we needed to keep us

Smith, the oldest member of a
very young offensive line, said
he is not going to let this loss
effect him or his teammates.
"We are a very young team
and something like this is· a
learning experience for us,'' he
said. "Being a non-league loss,
it
does not effect our ultimate
goal of being MAAC champi-

St. John's wasn't much more
effective on the offensive end,
managing only 13 lyards of to-

The difference in the game was
mainly field position.

According to Karcz, the loss
earlier in the week to the Jas-
pers may have been a positive
thing for Marist, as it helped
them refocus.
"It was really important to beat
Iona. We didn't want to start
off

the conference," Karcz
said. "We were motivated by
the Manhattan loss, and used it
as a motivator. The win helped
to get us rolling again and to
boost our confidence."
However, they will have toge~
that confidence back after an-
other setback earlier this week.
The Foxes fell to Hofstra,3~2.

· Marist now stands at 5-2,: but
is playing good ball and is con-

Karcz said.
