Diversity Day held two years

ago.
·
The concept for this year's
Unity Day is to promote cam-
pus entertainment. Hunter said
this would not only highlight
club unity but also save
·
the
.
s<::hool money.
·
"Basically we're trying to get
out of the mindset that you have
.
to spend $10,000 to put on an
event," he said.
"You
can put
on a successful event for a small
amount of money. So for enter-
tainment, we're using resources
that we have on campus."
Perfonnances will be put on by
the dance club, Asian Alliance,
MCCTA, fencing club, Black
Student Union, the Gaelic Soci-
ety and other clubs and organi-
zations.
Hunter said this day will be a
success if clubs come together
to help .
.
: :
··
..
··
.
"This year, we're stressing
that we can not have a success-
ful day unless the clubs partici-
pate and we have good, solid
club leaders who are committed
to the project," he said .
According to Hunter, another
undertaking his administration
·
is
planning is to make revisions
to the handbook. Hunter said
the goal is to make it more un-
derstandable.
"This is an important project
because it affects everyone on
the Marist College campus," he
said.
"We
have a committee that
is working to put it more in
layman's terms."
It is hoped that the revisions
will be passed next semester and
be used for the next printing of
the student handbook.
The State of the Campus ad-
dress is being shown all this
week and next week at 6:30 on-

Overall, Toufali said students

the experience as valuable. She
contributes the problems with
the program to the fact that it

"Whenever

some of the stu-

was the first time the Dublin

there were some misunderstand-
ings, but problems with the
group were not necessarily
problems with the program."

us the holiday spirit in the air.
Although the origins on reli-
gions of these holidays vary,
one important aspect
brings
these celebration times to-
gether: the spirit of giving.
Freshman Anne Keane said
the holiday giving spirit is a
good feeling.
"It gives me a warm and fuzzy
feeling inside," she said.
Even without all of the deco-
ration lights hanging around,
the campus is glowing. The giv-
ing trees placed
around
the
campus are practically empty.
Students everywhere are plan-
ning their shopping lists for fam-
ily and friends as well.
However, some students, like
Freshman Matt Rovery, are more
critical of the "spirit of giving."
"It is a month where people
are more
greedy
.
than ever and
people justify it with the 'holi-
day spirit'," he said.
Despite the critics, there is no
stopping the holiday season.
With Hanukkah currently in
progress and Christmas and
Kwanzaa

on the way, the holi-
day spirit is here. So in the spirit
of the season, here's wishing
everyone happy holidays!

Marist College Professor Dan
McCormack is now showing his
collection of figurative photo

grams in an art exhibit housed
in the basement floor of
Greystone Hall.
The exhibit, which began No-
vember 29 and will last until ·
December I 5, is one of
three
fac-
ulty art exhibitions shown ev-
ery year.
.
Photograms, which were origi-
nally created by Thomas
Wedgewood in the l790's, are
pictures made without the use
of a camera. They are simply a
series of exposures. Professor
McCormack said that he used a
special method in creating his
works.
"I developed and solarized
( the exposures) to create further
abstraction," he said.
McCormack's collection con-
tained three different sets of
photograms. The familial pho-
tograms were exposures of his
four children in which he had
them lie in different positions,
specifically focusing on the
torso, hips, and vertebra areas.
In the figurative and hips/ver-
tebrae photograms, he used spi-
.
nal vertebrae and skulls from
animals to enhance his piece.
Professor McCormack was an
adjunct faculty member for al-
most ten yea-:-s and has
since
been a full-time member for three
years. He teaches both photog-
raphy and digital media courses
at Marist College.

With the dozens and dozens
of clubs on Marist campus, it is
kind of hard to understand ex-
actly what each one does.
Most students are only aware
of the ones that pertain to their
major or are sports related. But
what about the ones that some
students don
'
t know about, yet
are actually quite interesting?
One of those clubs is The Com-
munic
a
tions Art Society (CAS)
"Doing this helps stu-
dents learn the art of
networking and helps
to get people to see
what they are."
Lindsey Carr
This semester the CAS had a
trip to the very famous televi
-
sions station MTV. Here, a
bunch of students had the op-
portunity to be on Total Request
Live (TRL). The trip took place
on both November 8th and No-
vember 15th. This was just one
of the many events that the club
sponsors.
Once a year, the Communica-
tions Art Society holds an
Alumni Panel. The event, which
is coordinated through Jeff
Schantz of alumni affairs, brings
alumni from the different com-
munication tracks (radio,
television, journalism, etc.)
·
come and speak to any inter-
ested students. The alumni
come to speak about their jobs
and give students any relevant
information to their particular
field
.
In addition, the club is co-
sponsoring with the Career Cen-
ter a Resume Workshop. This
workshop is opened to anyone
interested
and
helps people to
build
.
cover letters and create
resumes.
CAS is
also
looking to have
guest speakers. They hope to
have professionals in the differ-
ent tracks come in and inform
members what their job
is
like.
Recently, the club had Kathleen
Dwyer-McNulty come in and
speak about journalism.
President Lindsey Carr said
that the job skills
-
learned by
these professionals are very
-valuable.
"Doing this helps students
learn the art of networking and
helps to get people to see what
they are," she said.
The Communications Art So-
ciety is also interested in updat-
ing their Web Page. With the
help of Dr. Pennings, they are
hoping to create a history of the
club, including what they've
done, what they are presently
doing, and what they hope to
do in the future. They are hop-
ing to allow multimedia people
get some experience in the field
by doing it themselves.
According to the Vice Presi-
dent, Christine Romer, the club
is here to help the students.
"The Communications Art
Society is all for the entire com-
munications department. We
like to ask the members what
they want to do and make it hap-
pen," said Romer.
