educate our students' hearts as
well as their minds," he said.

speaks at Marist
by
JENNIFERFERRIS
ANDMEGHANO'GEARY
Staff Writers
A Marist alum and executive
from one of the fastest growing
Internet companies spoke to
students on Monday.
Tim Brier, the executive vice-
president of Priceline.com and
president of the Priceline Travel
division told students about the
great opportunities that lie
within e-commerce.
"When you leave here,·
whether it be next year or in the
next couple of years, the biggest
competition as you go out into
the business world is going to
be experience," he said. "But in
the Internet world, nobody has .
experience. It's only a couple
years old.
So
you're all on a
really equal fo9ting. You're go-
ing to know just as much in a
couple of years as someone
who's running Priceline.com
knows today."
Brier, who graduated from
Marist in 1969, spoke to nearly
125
students and faculty mem-
bers about Priceline.com, thee-
commerce company he co-
founded.
He explained -that
Priceline.com is based on two
trends. The first trend .is]:or
brand-neutrality among cus-
tomers, and the second is per-·
manent excess in capacity
among sellers._ Based upon
these principles, Brier said
Priceline.com is able to benefit
both consumers and vendors.
Tim Massie, director of college
relations, said that Brier is a great
example of a successful Man.st
graduate. .
"Here's an alum who had and
idea and the spirit of entrepre-
neu_rship and Iiow he's the co-
founder of a company worth
around $10 billion," Massie said.
Priceline.com, which sells
products from airline tickets to
groceries, has only been in ex-
istence for the past two years,
and already has seen huge mar~
ket growth with Wall Street esti-
mating its value at'$10 billion.

not every club would get their

group ~em together by type and
have all the cultural groups in
one office, the Greek organiza-

Part<
Veterans Day lacks the celebration and remembrance that other holidays involve.
by
ANDYTOLAND
Staff Writer
Every year Nov.
11
comes and
,
goes, with very little attention
paid to the meaning of the day.
The only reason I ever
_
knew
Nov.
·
11 was Veterans Day was
because of the day off from
·school that
I. always had. On
this day, there are no family get-
togethers, no barbecues and
.
very few parades. Here at Marist
College and in many busi-
nesses, there is no day off for
this holidayeither, so it becomes
very easy tQ forget it every year.
As a way of reminding people
of the meaning of the day
,
news-
papers and television news
shows run stories on Veterans
Day about the Veterans of For-
eign Wars ceremonies and other
things th!3t people don't really
want to see.
The history of the day goes far
back to the end ofWorld War I.
After the war officially ended
with an armistice on November
11, 1918, it became known as
.
Armistice Day
.
It
was known as
Armistice Day until
1954,
the
year that the Korean War ended
and then became known as Vet-
erans Day in honor of the veter-
ans of
a
ll wars.
While I worked on the night
of the 11th
I met an old man
wearing a 'Korean Veteran' hat.
Knowirig what day it was, and
searching for a topic for this ar-
ticle,
I asked the man what he
did to
.
celebrate the day. He
lo'ok~d
at me seemingly con-
fused and
'
obviously unaware
that the day was honoring vet-
erans like himself. Even though
he was an old man and might
not have been very with it, I still
expected him to know about the
day.
After we talked a short while
about where he was stationed
in the war
I
asked him what he
thought of Veterans Day. The
old stranger commented on the
yearly holiday in a way that
amazed me. He said in the 40
years he worked in a factory fol-
lowing his service in the Korean
War, he never got a day off. It
all comes down to getting that
day off.
We've become accustomed to
parades and barbecues on Me
-
morial Day and the Fourth of
July, and the family gatherings
that is Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas, but most people don't at-
tach any special significance to
Veterans
.
Day. Travis Mason, a
sophomore English major at
Marist College said Veterans
Day has lost some of its mean-
ing.
"I
think that Veterans Day has
no signif}cant meaning today,"
_
he said. "People should be more
aware of the day since we are
·
celebrating the people who
fought for our rights and free-
doms."
In a speech delivered in Ar-
lington, VA on Nov.
11
of last
year, President Bill Clinton
spoke of the lack of knowledge
today's youth has about Veter-
ans Day.
"We cannot expect future gen-
erations to understand fully
what those who came before
saw
,
experienced and
felt
in
battle," Clinton said. "But we
can make sure that our children
know enough to say, 'Thank
you."'
·
It is still not clear whether
today
'
s youth just doesn
'
t
know enough about Veterans
Day, or if they just don't care
about the day.

Editor,
This letter is in response to the letter a
Mr.
Ben Agoes sent to you last week. It was
unfortunate to hear t\le comments that Benjamin mentioned in his letter. However
I
do not share the same feelings towards The Circle
as'
he'does. -
I
was appalled to read
his comments on how
The
Circle needs perfection, not mediocrity. Ben was saying
that there are too many spelling errors in the stories and the headlines ·in The Circle
this year. I would have to disagree with that statement to
ari
extent. The only reason
why he is saying this is because a few of these mistakes have occurred
in
the main
headlines-and titles of-the articles .. Every paper has spelling mistakes and other
things that do not go right. Wheth~r it be
The
Circle from last
year,
which Ben
thought was so great ( oh and why is that. maybe because his girlfriend was the
editor), which had it's reasonable portion of blunders or whether it
be
The
Wall
Street Journal, every newspaper has it's share of mistakes.
.
I also do not think that The Circle has slipped that much compared to other years.
In my four years here at Marist College I have read the circle every
year,
however
this year I have enjoyed reading
The
Circle the
mpst
The -articles this year have
been interesting to read. One thing that I like about
The
Circle this year is that you
have included pictures of the writers by their articles. This is very helpful because
you are able to identify with the writer. You now know who they are and can relate -
to their articles a little more.

There were many soldiers in

It
seems McCain and his

Due to the lack of outside

Staff Writers
A Marist alum and executive
from one of the fastest growing
Internet companies spoke to
students on Monday.
Tim Brier, the executive vice-
president of Priceline.com and
president of the Priceline Travel
division told students about the
great opportunities that lie
within e-commerce.
"When you leave here,·
whether it be next year or in the
next couple of years, the biggest
competition as you go out into
the business world is going to
be experience," he said. "But in
the Internet world, nobody has .
experience. It's only a couple
years old.
So
you're all on a
really equal fo9ting. You're go-
ing to know just as much in a
couple of years as someone
who's running Priceline.com
knows today."
Brier, who graduated from
Marist in 1969, spoke to nearly

bers about Priceline.com, thee-
commerce company he co-
founded.
He explained -that
Priceline.com is based on two
trends. The first trend .is]:or
brand-neutrality among cus-
tomers, and the second is per-·
manent excess in capacity
among sellers._ Based upon
these principles, Brier said
Priceline.com is able to benefit
both consumers and vendors.
Tim Massie, director of college
relations, said that Brier is a great
example of a successful Man.st
graduate. .
"Here's an alum who had and
idea and the spirit of entrepre-
neu_rship and Iiow he's the co-
founder of a company worth
around $10 billion," Massie said.
Priceline.com, which sells
products from airline tickets to
groceries, has only been in ex-
istence for the past two years,
and already has seen huge mar~
ket growth with Wall Street esti-
mating its value at'$10 billion.

Part<
Veterans Day lacks the celebration and remembrance that other holidays involve.
by
ANDYTOLAND
Staff Writer
Every year Nov.
11
comes and
,
goes, with very little attention
paid to the meaning of the day.
The only reason I ever
_
knew
Nov.
·
11 was Veterans Day was
because of the day off from
·school that
I. always had. On
this day, there are no family get-
togethers, no barbecues and
.
very few parades. Here at Marist
College and in many busi-
nesses, there is no day off for
this holidayeither, so it becomes
very easy tQ forget it every year.
As a way of reminding people
of the meaning of the day
,
news-
papers and television news
shows run stories on Veterans
Day about the Veterans of For-
eign Wars ceremonies and other
things th!3t people don't really
want to see.
The history of the day goes far
back to the end ofWorld War I.
After the war officially ended
with an armistice on November
11, 1918, it became known as
.
Armistice Day
.
It
was known as
Armistice Day until
1954,
the
year that the Korean War ended
and then became known as Vet-
erans Day in honor of the veter-
ans of
a
ll wars.
While I worked on the night
of the 11th
I met an old man
wearing a 'Korean Veteran' hat.
Knowirig what day it was, and
searching for a topic for this ar-
ticle,
I asked the man what he
did to
.
celebrate the day. He
lo'ok~d
at me seemingly con-
fused and
'
obviously unaware
that the day was honoring vet-
erans like himself. Even though
he was an old man and might
not have been very with it, I still
expected him to know about the
day.
After we talked a short while
about where he was stationed
in the war
I
asked him what he
thought of Veterans Day. The
old stranger commented on the
yearly holiday in a way that
amazed me. He said in the 40
years he worked in a factory fol-
lowing his service in the Korean
War, he never got a day off. It
all comes down to getting that
day off.
We've become accustomed to
parades and barbecues on Me
-
morial Day and the Fourth of
July, and the family gatherings
that is Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas, but most people don't at-
tach any special significance to
Veterans
.
Day. Travis Mason, a
sophomore English major at
Marist College said Veterans
Day has lost some of its mean-
ing.
"I
think that Veterans Day has
no signif}cant meaning today,"
_
he said. "People should be more
aware of the day since we are
·
celebrating the people who
fought for our rights and free-
doms."
In a speech delivered in Ar-
lington, VA on Nov.
11
of last
year, President Bill Clinton
spoke of the lack of knowledge
today's youth has about Veter-
ans Day.
"We cannot expect future gen-
erations to understand fully
what those who came before
saw
,
experienced and
felt
in
battle," Clinton said. "But we
can make sure that our children
know enough to say, 'Thank
you."'
·
It is still not clear whether
today
'
s youth just doesn
'
t
know enough about Veterans
Day, or if they just don't care
about the day.

Editor,
This letter is in response to the letter a
Mr.
Ben Agoes sent to you last week. It was
unfortunate to hear t\le comments that Benjamin mentioned in his letter. However
I
do not share the same feelings towards The Circle
as'
he'does. -
I
was appalled to read
his comments on how
The
Circle needs perfection, not mediocrity. Ben was saying
that there are too many spelling errors in the stories and the headlines ·in The Circle
this year. I would have to disagree with that statement to
ari
extent. The only reason
why he is saying this is because a few of these mistakes have occurred
in
the main
headlines-and titles of-the articles .. Every paper has spelling mistakes and other
things that do not go right. Wheth~r it be
The
Circle from last
year,
which Ben
thought was so great ( oh and why is that. maybe because his girlfriend was the
editor), which had it's reasonable portion of blunders or whether it
be

I also do not think that The Circle has slipped that much compared to other years.

There were many soldiers in

ment. The success of his cam-
paign will be detennined upon
his ability to create a nostalgia
for an America that stood for
something. He will
try
to resur-

It
seems McCain and his
Republican counterpart George
W. Bush are different in only
they represent two different
parts of the Republican spec-
trum. McCain stands for honor,
integrity, and pride. Bush stand-
ing for big business and money.
If
George W. Bush is not care-

,
he may hear the footsteps
of John McCain. McCain
would have my vote if Patrick
Buchanan of the Reform Party
were not in the race. A war hero
is held in high regard, especially
one that are former prisoner of
war. McCain has the respect
and

honor that needs to be re-
