Additionally, Arslanian
highlighted
the new work-
load proposal, the product of
a "long debate," would "try
to lighten the burden on fac-

number of classes taught on
campus. This would, accord-

Search continues to find dean for School of Communications
By

Staff Writer
Dr. John T. Ritschdorff was
appointed as the
Interim
Dean
of
the SchOO\ of Communication
and the Arts in 2005, a supposed-
ly temporary situation. Since his
appoinntent, it has been a ~ear
and a half, and a full.time
replacement has not yet been
hired.
The Dean of Faculty and
Academic Vice President, Dr.
Artin
H.
Arslanian, said that the
vacancy is in no way unusual,
especially for such a high posi-
tion.
"Wf! expect, at Marist, the
best," Arslanian said, also men-
tioning there were no specific
terms or timelines when Dr.
Ritschdorff first assumed his role
as dean.
In many cases, according to
Arslanian, an Interim Dean will
be appointed with long stretches
of time in mind.
In
the School of
Management, for example, an
Interim Associate Dean has just
been appointed for a. period of
one and a half years. Arslanian

for a·mediocre applicant.
"We want to appoint someone
who will bring a lot to the table."
Marist is currently seeking
applicams who have obvious
skills such as leadership, as well
as a degree and a great deal of
teaching experience, Arslanian
said.

The Office of Human

When asked if the current situ-
ation with the Interim Dean
affect the department, Arslanian
said "Not to my knowledge,"
stating that both the department
and applicant search were in
good positions. ArsiaJlian said
hopes the position will be filled
by this summer, but he is refuses
to settle for less or to waste time
by making, "an appoinbnent for
appoinbnent's sake." The Office
of Human Resources is doubling
efforts to publicize the opening,
placing ads in the New York
Times, Chronicle of
Higher
Education. and numerous other
publications. Marist has made it
very clear that it refuses to accept
any applicants that are less than
the best, preferring to hire some-
one who will, as Arslanian said,
"take us to the next level."

Upcoming
Campus Events
By ANDREW MOLL
Leader in
homeland
security
Welcome back every-
body to another
semester
here at Marist and another
semester
of the Security
Briefs.
For the uninitiat-
ed, this is the section
of
The Circle where a snarky
columnist
pokes fun at all
the security
incidents
on
campus over the previous
week.
And let me intro-
duce myself;
my name is
Andrew,
and
I am the
aforementioned
snarky
columnist.
Thanks
for
reading.
Before we get started on
the briefs,
let's
talk about
some things.
First, a four
week winter vacation?
Not
too bad. A two week win-
ter vacation
followed
by a
two week winter
course?
Ehhhh.
Secondly,
Peyton
Manning.
Seriously.
That
happened?
Really?
And
he's
facing Rex Grossman
of all people in the Super
Bowl?
What?
My
head
hurts just thinking
about
it.
As a Giants
fan,
I
would
have expected
Eli
to be the first Manning to
make it.(That's
a lie. As a
Giants fan, I expect Eli to
throw
balls
into
the
ground and
look
like a kid
who just
got
told
that
there's
a
pop
quiz
in
spelling
today.)
Anywho,
let's
get to the briefs.
1/4 - 9:45
P.M.
Up at Fulton,
a fire
alarm went off in one of
the houses
due to steam
emanating
from a shower.
This
person
must
have
been
in the shower
for
quite
a long time to let
this happen.
I enjoy stay-
ing in the shower
for a
while as much as the next
person,
but
I know
my
limits.
Also, a court man-
date says I can be naked
for only a small percent-
age of each day, so I have
to do things wisely.
1/7 - g,"30
A.M.
A fire alarm was set off
in
Gartland
early
one
morning,
and
the
fire
department
arrived
on the
scene to make sure every-
thing was OK. This time,
it was because
of burnt
Eggo's.
I would
make a
"Leggo
my Eggo's"
joke,
but I'm better than that. At
least I think so. Ahh, who
am
I
kidding?
Leggo my
Eggo's. Ha!
1/8 - 1 :30 A.M.
At the Champagnat
resi-
dence
hall,
a
guest
attempted
to gain entry to
the dorm with an unautho-
rized ID, and were subse-
quently
escorted
from the
premises.
I
don't want to
give anything
away here,
but just to let you know,
you ma)! see this sit.uation
pop up again before
I'm

You come
back
to
school,
and
presumably
that
means
it's
time
to

And
that's
what
happened
at Gartland

one
night
last
week.

who found twen-
ty-five students inside and
numerous cans of beer vis-
ible.
The
beer
was
brought
back to the secu-
rity
office
where
they
were
quickly
discarded
with, if you know what
I
mean. (Let's just say, not
all of the SNAP officers
on duty that night
could
touch their finger to their
nose.
Granted,
that's
not
saying much ... )
1/17 - 2:15 A.M.
Leo Hall had to turn
away a young person who
attempted
to
enter
the
building
with another per-
son's
ID, and the guest
was
turned
away.
I'm
developing
a theory about
all this.
Give
me some
time to work it all out.
1/17 • 4:45 A.M.
A Champagnat
resident
swiped
their
card at the
security
desk
and
then
tried
to
pass
the
card
through
the
emergency
door to their friend wait-
ing
outside.
Unfortunately
for
them,
they were caught, and the
friend was kindly asked to
leave.
1/20 - 2:56 A.M.
Ano1her
unauthorized
visitor
to
Leo Hall tried to
gain en1ry with a Marist
ID,
and
they
too
were
turned away.
The ID was
later returned
to the stu-
dent. I smell a conspiracy
here, and I don't like it.
1/20 - 3:50
A.M.
Midrise
had its own
problem
with an unautho-
rized guest,
as they were
rejected

l
thought
this
was only
a

In
the Gregory

dence, there was a confis-
cation of alcohol,
and let
me say, it was a pretty
decent amount;
17 cans of

and

'Devil Wears Prada' influences fashion movement
By KATE
GOOOIN
Circle Contributor
I am expecting this column to elicit mixed reac-
tions. Fashionistas
will
rejoice; some might regard
it with amusement; others will raise a confused
eyebrow. After all, what place does a fashion col-
umn have
in
a college newspaper, albeit one based
irl.-no offense-POughkeepsie? Aside from my great
personal interest and a significant readersh.ip in
Marist's own impressive Fashion Department,
fashion is WldOubtedly a force to be reckoned with-
ill all our lives, and it is with that notion that I
humbly yet eagerly submit myself to a biweekly
discourse on all things fashion for my fellow stu-
dents.
Love it or loathe it, the fashion industry is fasci-
nating, and there is a part in all of us that yearns to
know every sordid detail. I
am
sure a considerable
amount of the Marist population read The Devil
Wears Prada, Lauren Weisberger's acclaimed
expose on the fashion industry, or saw the delight-
fully
scintillating
movie adaptation. Quick synop-
sis for those not in the know: wide-eyed journalism
student, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), fresh from
university winds up in a job "a million girls would
kill for" as assistant to Anna Wintour-esque
Runway magazine editrix Miranda Priestly (Meryl
Streep). Several fashion faux pas and one montage
later, Andy can wrangle Miranda's demands with
the same ease she now exercises in
spike-heeled
Chanel boots. Even if you think you take no inter-
est in fashion, it is still great entenainment (watch

freshman faux pas
By MORGAN
NEDERHOOD
Staff
Writer
My first
v..eek
as
a
college student, I
had man-
aged to commit every
classic fn:~hman faux
pas. On the first day of classes,
I
walked into
a
supply closet instead of my philosophy room,
thinking that 'DY 213' meant 'Donnelly 213.'
Around the middle of the week I managed to
lock myself out ofmy room. I blame
this
on my
lock: it seems to have a mind of its own, and it
habitually locks me out of my room for no rea-
son. Well,
I
would not have minded being
locked out, if not for the fact that
I
was in a
towel
and
flip
flops, and my R.A. was on the
floor
below me - the boys' floor.
I had
to
recruit
a
room
of random girls I'd never met before, but
they
took pity on my pathetic self and fetched
the
R.A. for me.
1 changed my schedule
towards
the end of the
week, so
I
tried to arrive early for my new math
class. When I got there,
I
looked
into
the crowd-
ed and unfamiliar room; it occurred to
me
that
class had already started. I Snuck into the back
of the room, took out my notebook, and realized
I had
no idea what the teacher was talking
about. It turns out that
I
had arrived so early that
I was
sitting
in the class before my own. To
make matters worse, the teacher pointed me out
to
the class, so I tried to make myself look
engrossed with something in my notebook.
Needless to say, my first week at Marist had
been hwnorous but
slightly
traumatizing.
While the second semester had proved to be
less dramatic and mentally
~..:arring,
it nonethe•
less
has left me
in some noticeaJbly av.kv.ard sit•
uations On \Vedncsday
morning, I was late tO
m) first class and
I was subjected
to
the
chaos
that
ensues 'Ahcn you scmmblc

find a seat ,1s
quickly. and silently a" possible.
To
make mat-
ters worse. the class had stacks of chairs
(not
desks) and I was forced
to
struggle v.ith a
pile
of chairs '"bile the
professor attempted
to
ignore
me
and conduct
his
class. After finally
rdeasing
a chair from
the pile of
its
cohorts, l
proceeded to remove my winter gear. Due to the
frigid
temperatures
that day,
I
had dressed
myself in so many layers
that
I resembled
the
MiChelin
1 in:
man,
and it
took me about ten
minutes just to remove every
layer.
Obviously,
I
did not begin my class on the best of notes.
My depressing display of embaITassment was
just another week in
my
life, to be completely
honest.
1 have grown used to finding myself in
awkward
situations
which are usually my fault,
but I cannot say that they are altogether horri-
ble.
While
I
might suffer for a few minutes,
what does it matter if
I
can recycle the story
(usually long after
if
should have been retired)
and use it for my amusement? Mortification and
being uncomfortable are simply facts of life:
you can either resist them, or just roll with the
punches.

point, in my opinion.)
Originally, the novel was intended as a tell-all
glimpse of the ugly side in a world centered on
beauty and glamour, which probably enforced
everyone's stereotypes of the fashion industry. The
movie, while it still capitalized on those stereo-
types, actually demonstrated how fashion is rele•
vant to our lives. Recall Miranda Priestly's infa-
mous monologue, where she explains to a still
woefully
fashion-ignorant
Andy that although
J).ndy chose to wear her outfit as a message to the
world that she does not care about such trivial
t),ings as fashion, the color of her sweater, specifi-
cally cerulean blue, was a concept developed years
ago and a product of millions of dollars and hours
of work. We all died a little watching Miranda
destroy Andy's soul in that scene, but take a look
in
any of our closets: what we wear, or a fonn or it,
was once paraded down the catwalks of Milan,
Paris, and New York, which this is an example of
the trickle-down theory in fashion. Designers are
toiling away on what you will wear in 2009 as we
speak. Fashion exists as a serious business com-
mitted to
giving
us as many options possible to
exercise
our creativity through dress. Take any out-
fit on any random Marist student on any given day.
Whether he or
she
is wearing a suit, sweatpants, or
stilettos,
all ensembles make a statement and give
the world a
sense
of who we arc. You are what you
wear.
In the movie Nigel, the art director at Runway,
also impressed upon Andy the importance of fash-
ion in the lives of the masses. Nigel lauds the leg-
endary designers and photographers involved in
the production of Runway and he tells Andy that it
is
not Miranda Priestly or the ubiquitous Clackers
at Runway who are
making
her job so hellish;
rather, it is the fact that she has a job
"a
million
girls would die for," yet she only deigns' to do it.
Only when Nigel explains to Andy that fashion is
"greater than art, because [weJ live our live[sJ in
it,
n
does she truly understand why a million girls
would commit a federal offense for her job.
I
know
I

I

ed to at least segue into my column before born~

important that you a·t least understand that the fash-
ion
industry,

Carter's new book gives prescription for Palestinian peace
ByDAN BLACK
Staff Writer
Last November, fonner presi-
dent Jimmy Carter published a
book appealing for a peaceful
resolution to the violent conflict
between Israel and its Arab
neighbors entitled: Palestine:
unfortunately, been interpreted
by many as
nothing
more than an
unfounded attack against Israel,
sympathetic to the cause of vio-
lent fanatics who are intolerant
of a Jewish state, and unruly
diplomatic behavior unbecoming
of a fonner U.S. president.
The most heated criticism
analogy, it is important to under-
stand, is based not upon motive,
but upon method; to the extent
that the analogy is informative
and accurate, Carter beseeches
the reader to consider critically
the reality of Israeli/Palestinian
apartheid and its caustic social
effects on the marginalized peo-
occupation by attacking Israeli
civilians, describing such behii.v-
ior as .. morally reprehensible and
politically counterproductive"
(pg. 15). He revisits, as neces-
sary, this sort of criticality of the
Palestinians throughout his book
while apportioning similar criti-
cism to Israeli politics and

Israel's

Responses in defense of Israel's
treatment have been swift and
strong; critics denounced the
comparison of Israel to South
Africa as absurd, claiming that
Carter's doing so compromises
his credibility. If the comparison
is inappropriate, then Carter
should be commended for clear-
ly agreeing. The final chapter of
the book, the one most bitterly
unwelcome for its apartheid
analogy, says in its second para-
graph that "the driving purpose
for the forced separation of the
two peoples is unlike that in

189)

Another recurring claim from
Carter's critics is that he attrib-

a critique that is simply untrue.
As a matter of convention,
President Carter links the dimin-
ishing prospects for peace with
those individuals who, through
the employment of sectarian vio-
lence, routinely derail collective
efforts to establish such a peace,
and he notes that these activities
are not specific to any religion or
ethnicity but are observable in a
small, fanatical portion of each.
Carter never espouses the use

Marist College physi-
cian Mary Dunne, MD, has seen
an increase in student activity at
Health Services during these past
few weeks. The most common
sickness students seem. to devel-
op due to the cold weather is an
upper respiratory
infection,
which includes the common cold
and influenza, said Dunne.
"The peak season for
influenza does not begin for
another week or so and lasts until
about March," said Dunne. "So
even now, there is still a benefit
to getting the flu shot."
•
Health
Services has
offered the flu shot to students
campus-wide for the past few
years. There
is
currently a sur-
plus of the shots, which will be
available to students Wltil the
end of this week. Faculty and
staff members will then be able
to purchase the remaining vacci-
nations.
According to Dunne, the
flu develops abruptly and is

tions like hypothermia and frost-
bite are associated with the cold
weather.
Jeannine
Eslinger
R.P.A.-C., a physician's
assistant
at South Nassau Community
Hospital in Oceanside, Long
Island,
has seen both severe and
non-severe cases of these health
complications while
working
in
the Emergency Room.
"It is important," said
Eslinger, "not only to be aware
of these conditions, but to have a
general knowledge oi their
symptoms
and available treat-
ments."
Upper respiratory infec-
tions are considered
viral,
not
bacterial, and can be
spread
from
person to person. They are usual-
ly characterized by a cough,
tious of during the cold weather.
While it is rarely seen
in
its most
severe degree,
people
often
experience mild cases. Those
who suffer from thyroid prob-
lems or diabetes, as well as
smokers,
are most prone to frost-
bite, which is characterized by a
stinging, burning, or throbbing
sensation. As it progresses,
symptoms
may worsen and the
skin may start to look almost
waxy with a white tint.
According
to
Eslinger,
rubbing the area is dangerous
and can worsen the tissue dam-
age. In order to treat the condi-
tion, use a wanning blanket and
a heating pad, which should not
be placed directly on the skin.

"A

Eslinger.
Tight clothing can

that alcohol

is also a
factor contributing to these two

"Alcohol

plays a significant role in the
proper
maintenance
of body tem-
perature," said Dunne. "It can
severely dehydrate the body and
cause heavy· congestion."
From the common cold
and the flu, to frostbite and
hypothermia, the cold weather
affects most people in some way
or another. Precautions and pre-
ventative techniques
like
rest,
hydration, and proper clothing
are only a few ways to avoid
health complications this winter

THE CIRCLE
arts
Muist Students,
I want to take this oppurtunity to thank all of you for your support this season!
As we approach the heart of our home MAAC schedule the team is really
Uoying having the students back at the McCann Center! Your support at
this season has made a substantial difference motivating our team and
proven to be a distinct disadvantage for our opponents. The team is unde-
feated
at home this season with an 8.0 record at the Mccann Center!
As Marist students and fans, you all have the ability to leave either a positive
negative impression on our community based on your attendance and cheer-
ina
at our games. We want Marist fans to leave the McCann Center with a pos-
itive impression of our students from their clever chants and knowledge of the
ing
team.
We don't want them to go home with a
bad
experience because
( the language that is being shouted at the officials or our opponents.
I
know from personal experience, coaching
in
venues like Duke's Cameron
Indoor Stadium, that the best student fans were the ones who were ingenious
in their chants and studied the opposing teams
that
were coming to town.
I'm
challenging all of you to come out to our games and be creative in your
hcering. My coaching staff and team are doing our best to assure that Marist
tinues to
win
and earns a spot in the NCAA Tournament. We need all of
doing your
best
at

See you at the Mccann Center!

consecutive win.

for

improved
to
a
perfect 8-0 ( I S-4
overall)
while Iona fell to 7-1
(12-7

Marist got a good taste of the
MAAC's pre-season player of
the
year, Martina Weber, as Iona
went to its heralded 6'S forward
arty
and
often. She finished the
pme with 23 points, but more
importantly,
no other Gael player
finished in double-figures.
Head
coach Brian Giorgis said
that
heading
into this game,

wbile he realized Weber was an
oullbmding player,
he

because

Weber's size, they were able to
put
pressw-e
on Iona's guards and
dilrupt the Gaels' offense.

he said.
"So
even though we have a great

kick it back out, they get out
there so quickly. They take away
the three's."
Bozzella gave Marist credit for
playing a great game, but pointed
out that the Gaels shot them-
selves in the foot at times, partic-
ularly when they had the 6-0
lead.
"I
think in the first half, we

said.

were not
always easy
to come by
though, as Marist
struggled
to
establish
an
inside
game .
According to Giorgis, the
seven
three-pointers Marist made
were
all crucial.
"They're
hard to score on, on
the inside," he said.
"You
don't
develop
a game
plan that
you're
going to keep pounding
it inside,
because
there's
a
lot of trees
there,
and
they're pretty tall."
In the first half, Marist's
star
forward Meg Dahlman took just
four
shots,
but point
guard
Alisa
Kresge was able to find her for
more open looks late in the
game.
Kresge
said
that Dahlman takes
some
of
the
stress out of
her
point
guarding
duties,
because
she
does not have
to always be so
precise.
"It
makes my job
a

easier
knowing that I have
somebody
that I
can throw some a
little
wild
passes,
and she's going to go
up
and
get it, and go strong," Kresge
said.
Kresge
to
Dahlman
seemed
to
be
the theme late i"'i the game,
as
Marist
tried to melt the
clock
down to under ten
seconds with
every
possession.
Giorgis
said
that
sometimes
running this
offense is Marist's
"achilles,"
but that
against
Iona it
worked great.
"Today we
did
a better job Qfat
least,
executing
in the last 10
seconds
(of the
shot clock],
but
we
didn't
want
to just keep
com-
ing
down and firing,
because as
long as we
had the ball, they
can't score,"
he
said. "That's
your best
defense."
According
to
Giorgis, losing to
Yale
back on
Dec. 22,
was the
best thing that
ever
happened
to
the Red
Foxes.
It
opened
their
eyes
to
something; they
had
been
so
dominant,
they
may have
not
yet
realized.
"We saw
that,
wow,
ifwe don't
come
to play,
people are going
to
beat
us,"
he
said.
Beating
a
previously
undefeat-
ed conference
team the
way
they
did,
goes
to
show
that
there
real-
ly
are no limits
as to what Marist
can do this
season.
"We played well, and when we
play
well, we're a
difficult
bas-
ketball team
to
beat," Giorgis
said.

Weather cooperating with vision for Leonidoff project
ations, said
this
type of
team•
work will result
in
a successful
project.
"The architecture company
and Lee
[Wallace]
worked
together to
reach
a solution to
make all parties happy," he said.
"SOM is happy with
the
aesthet•
ics, and Marist is
happy
with
[the
systems] functionality.
It's
a
good example of teamwork.
That
is necessary
for project
success."
The
next step in the process is
to make
decisions.
A team- of
executives need to
decide
on
what type of rock to put on
the
ends of
the
bleachers.
there is no real issue with time
during
the
decision•making
process.
The
field turf has yet
to
be
installed,
due
to the mounds of
dirt piled on
the
field. The .soil
remains on the
field
because that
will be the fill used in the J2.foot
high benn which will be on the
west side of the stadium.
,Construction

new
Leonldoff
Stadium
wt,lle
ell students
were
home during break.
;Currently,
work
has moved below the bleachers on plumbing to get
ready
to lay down the concrete
flOOf.
According
to
Heneghan, the
stone will be a granite compos-
ite, which will be somewhat
similar to Greystone (Maris!
College
President
Dennis
Murray's office building).
The turf can either have penna•
nent
lines which are sewn into
the
surface or the lines can be
painted.
Since
Leonidoff
Stadium is used as
the home
field
for five
intercollegiate
athletic
teams, football, men's and
women's soccer, and men's and
women's
lacrosse, the
department
must decide which lines, if any,
to make pennanent
and
which
lines
to paint onto
the field.

first-place
in
three events: the
IOO•yard

Swimming for the first time

freestyle (1:55.99) and
the 100--

"As a team we were very
happy with the Seton Hall
meet," Bujalski said. "We had
spent the 3 weeks prior to the
meet doing
doubles
everyday for
intersession
training, so it was
great to see how well everyone
did."

Marist men's swimming and diving honors six seniors, dominates Owls
By GREG HRINYA
Staff Writer
The Marist Red Fox swimming
and diving team continued to
build on a stellar season when
:they
beat
Southern Connecticut
:state University on Saturday
:137.90.
•
The
victory
was even more spe·
_cial because six seniors were
'.honored
prior
to
the meet on
;Senior
Day. Nick Chevalier, Pat
'Collins,
Dan Garaffa, Will
,Shearouse,
Matt Walsh, and
Brandon Youse were all celebrat•
ed for their accomplishments and
contributions to Marist swim•
ming.
Aftei;the six seniors were hon•
ored, Marist
rode
strong per•
formances from Pat Collins,
Brandon Youse, and Devon
O'Nalty to reach 9.0 on the sea•
son.
Pat Collins was a
multiple
win-
ner on Saturday and
he
swam
his
fastest times of the season at
the
McCann Center. He recorded
victories in
the
50-yard
freestyle
and the
I
OO•yard freestyle
in
times of2I.36 and 46.82, respec·
tively. Collins was also a mem•
to reach success in
this
program.
"Pat Collins was a walk on,
non•scholarship athlete when he
came
here
four years ago,"
Van Wagner said. "He then con•
tracted mono during
his
first two
weeks, and
I
wasn't sure
he
would ever swim again on the
team. He has laken a journey in
four seasons to get from where
he
was to MAAC champion."

Head coach Larry Van Wagner
The most satisfying part of the
said that Collins
has
been one of victory for the Red Foxes was
the team's best swimmers and the way the
team
was able to win
that he took the road less traveled the meet for its six seniors.
Coach Vanwagner said
this
senior class
has
been instrumen·
tal to the
team's
success and the
team would
not
be where it is
today without
them.
"This was one of our largest
senior
classes
and the most tal•
ented class," Van Wagner said.
"They have been
one
of
the main
reasons for our success."
Marist will swim one final
meet
against
the
UMBC
Retrievers on January 27
in
Baltimore before gearing
up
for
the MAAC championships. The
team will go for a perfect
I
O•O.
Coach Van
Wagner
feels
the
team's chances of succeeding at
the MAAC championships are
excellent although they will face
some stiff competition.
"Right now
I
feel we are
the
team to
beat,
but Rider
will give
us
some
competition,"
Van Wagner said. "They have
four returning upperclassmen on
the
roster that
they originally
didn't
have, so
they
will be far
more competitive
than
we origi•
nally anticipated."
Coach Van Wagner also
believes that the youth on
the
roster will
be
'pivotal
to
the
team's success in the MAAC
championships.
"We have a clear
picture
of the
upper class,
but
some of our
youth will contribute to our
championship results
more
so
than we
thought
at first,"
Van Wagner said.
