The rocky road is over for
those traveling on campus.
The gravel path in front of
the library construction now
has asphalt over it, making it
smoother and more accessible
for everyone.
Before the paving, the
gravel path had sparked concerns and complaints. According to Marist's Physical
Plant department, the paving
was done because of student
complaints about the safety
and limited access the gravel
path caused.
Tom Beritzen, project manager for Pavarini Construction
Company, said the asphalt

the salary increase, Marist must
also provide-about $11,500 in
additional pay for the past two
years, according to the Nov. 11
Poughkeepsie Journal.
Lavin-McEleney told the Journal she was gratified by the decision.
"I like Marist, but I felt this was
an issue I couldn't allow to continue and keep my dignity/' she
said. "I felt if I didn't stand up,
I didn't have much to teach my
students."
In a separate interview with
The Circle, Lavin-McEleney
said she believes winning the
case has set a precedent, but
she is unclear how far reaching
it will be.
"It's up to (other female professors) to pursue any injustices that they feel happen to
them," she said.
During the two-week trial,
which began Oct. 26, Columbia
University professor Michael
Parides testified that Marist's
salary policies had discriminated against women, according to the Journal article.
Lavm-McEleney's attorney,
Robert DiNardo, said the verdict
was a victory for all women in
academia.
"What it does for all of us is
raise our sensitivity to unintended discrepancies between
men and women and causes us
to question more carefully some
of the assumptions we operate
under," he told the Journal.
The jury found Marist did not
willfully discriminate against
Lavin-McEleney, and the college remains committed to its
policies, saying they are similar
to those at all other American
colleges and universities.

said the alarm was caused by
smoke in the coffee shop.
"It's not a safe situation,"
Quinn said. "It's dangerous for
people who are disabled and for
the people that are assisting
them and risking their lives."
Whitley could not be interviewed before press time.
Linda Cooper, director of Special Services, said the evacuation procedures as outlined in
the Student Handbook are
flawed.
"They make the assumption
everyone can go down the
stairs," she said. "This has
been brought to the college's attention over the years and
they've failed to respond."
She said the answer is that the
college needs to have "collection points." These are designated areas in aTbuilding where
handicapped people know to go
in case of an emergency. Typically this is at the top of a specific stairwell. Emergency personnel are notified in advance
that they should check these
collection points when they arrive on a scene.
"People know that if they can't
get out of the building on their
own, this is where they're supposed to go," Cooper said.
She said she has tried educate
the college on the problem, but
has been unsuccessful.
"They simply won't listen to
me," she said.
Cooper said her role is not to
make the procedures— that role
belongs to the Office of Safety
and Security.
Joe Leary, director of Security,
said he agrees there is nothing
in writing concerning the evacuation of buildings by disable
students, but said there is a definite policy.
He said the policy may predate when Cooper started worki n g at Mai?St"a'ntf' tU&v'is* whyshe is unaware of it. In fact,
Leary said, die policy may predate construction of the Dyson
Center.
"Evacuation procedures for
(disabled people) is to have
them go to the area near the staircase and stand by there until the
fire department gets there," he
said. "We advised Special Services verbally to pass it on to
their students that this is where
they head."
In the Lowell Thomas building, Leary said, the collection
point on the second floor is at
the southeast stairwell, closest
to the main entrance.
He also said the elevator in LT
is operational during afirealarm,
but it is not a good idea to use
it.
"If we are trapped and the
only way to get this person out
is to use the elevator, then we
will," he said.
Leary said Quinn and Whitley were not evacuated off
Dyson's second floor last Tuesday because it had been determined by the responding officer
it was not necessary.
"It was immediately established we didn't have a situation and that we wouldn't move
them," Leary said.
Fairview fire and Marist Security officers were aware Quinn
and Whitley were still in the
building the entire time, he said,
and would have been moved if
they were in any danger.
Cooper said she is afraid of
what could happen in the future
if evacuation procedures are not
made formal and put in writing.
"This is a life and death issue,"
she said. "I really fear something will happen."

Last lecture in series Dec 2
Faculty members now have the
opportunity to speak their mind
with the Faculty Lecture Series.
Richard Wolcott, assistant director of Student Activities,
said the goal of the series is to
reach out to faculty and let them
speak on any topic they wish.
"It also gives students a
chance to meet with faculty outside of class," Wolcott said.
"It's called a 'lecture series,' but
it has a more informal setting.
It's more of a discussion than a
lecture."
The lecture series is sponsored
by the Office of College Activities and was held last spring for
the first time. Professors and
other faculty members speak on
any topic they like, within or
separate from their concentration.
Joseph Kirtland, assistant
professor of mathematics, gave
the first lecture this year, "The
Earth, the Universe, and the
Fourth Dimension" on Sept. 22.
Kirtland said he enjoyed participating and would do it again
in the future. *r
"It gives me a chance to explore things outside my discipline that I'm interested in," he
said.
The final lecture, "Construction of Self in Composition
Theory", will by given by Joseph Zeppetelo, visiting assistant professor of English. It will
be held Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m. in Student Center room 346.

his work, but has difficulty parting with each piece.
"Letting go of artwork is letting go of a piece of your self,"

Marist College chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Habitat is not
currently a club on campus. .;
Marist Habitat Secretary, Julie
Gadarowski founded the group
over the 1996/97 school year.
She said she asked SGA how
to establish a club on campus.
There was no room for another
club so Habitat was established
as a committee under the Social
Work Association. - . ••
"We grewtoo big my junior
year, the 97/98 school year, and
student government took us on
as their community service
project," Gadarowski said. "I'm
really glad with how the chapter has grown and progressed."
Over 20 people attended a
ground breaking ceremony held
Nov. 12 on the Sunset Ave. lot
in Poughkeepsie where the
chapter is building a house for
a local family.
The house is. expected to be
completed sometime in the
spring. It will be one level with
four bedrooms and will contain
only necessities. For example,
there will be no'washer, dryer,
air conditioner or dishwasher:
The Duchess County chapter
of Habitat for Humanities has
built five houses in the area.
Although this "will be the sixth
house, iris the first to be student sponsored.
.Marist Habitat president, Kim
Proulx^ said this is the largest
project the chapter has taken on
thus far.
•/
"Everyone is very excited
about building the house because it's the first project we've
been able to do since we-started
the chapter on campus," Proulx
said. ,
The chapter must raise $33,000
to build the home. The money
will come from various fund-raisers the chapter sponsors.
Habitat held a spare change
collection and will be selling
flowers at the Marist College
Council on Theater Arts production of "West Side Story"
this weekend. The chapter also

days. President of Habitat for
Humanities of Dutchess
County, Rich Taylor, said building the Sunset house over a
period of months is a lesson for
the students.
"It's for the students, to give
them a chance to learn all the

To a lot of people Thanksgiving is all about eating tons of
food, watching football, and
getting a day off from work and
school.
Thanksgiving actually means
the expression of gratitude and
the giving of thanks.
For Nerissa Drew, junior math
major, Thanksgiving is actually
a day of thanks and gratitude.
"In my family Thanksgiving is •
a really important holiday,"she
said. "It's so important, that
family members travel from England, Louisiana, and the West
. Indies „to celebrate and give
thank's. We do this every year
because we realize that all we
have is each other."
The first Thanksgiving was
, celebrated in America by the
Pilgrims who fled from religious
persecution from England.
, The pilgrims came to America
in 1620 after a long, hard trip that
lasted 65 days. Many people
got sick during the trip and food
had to be eaten cold because
the ship was wooden and there
was the danger of fire.
The pilgrims landed in Plymouth and settled there. Their
biggest concern there was attack by trie local Native Americans, but the Patiixets were a
peaceful group and did not
, prove to be a threat.
The first winter was really hard
for the Pilgrims. The show and
sleet were very heavy and it interfered with the construction of
the settlements. Many of the
pilgrims.died during this time,
but in March when the weather
got warmer the health of the remaining pilgrims improved.
An important event for the pilgrims was when a Native American named Samoset came to the
settlement and spoke English to
the pilgrims. He later brought a
man named Squanto who knew
better English.
The pilgrims received a lot of
help from Squanto. It is said the
pilgrims could not have survived without him. He taught
them how to tap maple trees for
syrup, which plants where poisonous and which were medicinal, and how to plant Indian com
and other crops.
In,October the Pilgrims had a
really successful harvesi and
had enough food to survive
through the winter. They had
much to celebrate because they
had good homes, an abundance
of crops, and they were getting
along with their Native American neighbors.
Governor William Bradford
proclaimed a day of thanksgiving to be shared by all the colonists and the neighboring Native Americans.
They played games, ran races,
marched and played drums. The
Indians showed the Pilgrims
how to use the bow and arrow
who then in turn showed the
Indians their musket skills.
They also had a grand feast to
celebrate.
In the third year, the spring
and summer were hot and dry
and the many of the crops died.
Bradford ordered a day of fasting and prayer, and soon after
that the rain came.
Nov. 29 of that year was proclaimed a day of thanksgiving
Students planning
for spring breaks
byRICHSHUTKIN
Staff Writer
Warm, tropical breezes and
sandy beaches are what some
students are looking forward to
in the spring.
Even with spring vacation so
far down the road, students are
still planning on how to spend
it.
There are many resorts being
put on reserve by students,
keeping travel agencies very
busy.
James Rusch, junior, "said he
plans on spending his spring
break in Florida.
"I want spring to come quickly
so I can go to Florida," he said.
"It's the most beautiful state in
the U.S. It has nice weather,
great beaches and beautiful
women."
Maria McCbrmick; travel executive at Northwest Airlines,
said this time of year is a popu-
lar time for college students to
make reservations for their
spring vacation.
"Many college students have
made reservations with us,
through travel agencies, to go
to many resorts," she said.
"These resorts include Hawaii,
Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean."
McCormick also said the
younger generation contributes
to the profit of many airlines and
travel agencies.
She also said students seem
to make the most of their vacations.
"Kids seem to enjoy their lives
the most," she said.
Brian Delaney, sophomore,
said he plans on enjoying his
trip to the Bahamas.
"The Bahamas will be great,
and there is no better time to go
there than the spring," he said.
"After living through a cold
winter, I will be very excited
about going to the Bahamas."
in order to celebrate. This day
is believed to be the real beginning of the present day Thanksgiving Day.
This custom of an annual
Thanksgiving day continued
through the years and during
the American Revolution (late
1770s) the Continental Congress suggested a day of national Thanksgiving.
In 1863, Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day of
Thanksgiving and since then
each president has issued a
Thanksgiving Day proclamation.
Jessica Macias, junior business major, said Thanksgiving
is more important to her now that
she is away at school.
."Thanksgiving is a day when
your family comes together and
enjoys good food while remembering good times," she said. "I
miss my mom and my two brothers a lot and this holiday means
even more because I get to
spend time with them."
Marist College debate
team
byEMILYKUCHARCZYK
Features Editor
Junior Mark Smith said he
likes to argue.
Most students probably
would not want to get into an
argument with him.
"I love to argue with people,"
he said. "And I like to win."
Smith is one of the 12 members of the Marist College debate team.
Formed about 12 years ago,
the team travels all over the
country proving its point and
trying to destroy other's.
Smith and fellow teammate,
junior Andrew Gofray, recently
won a debate competition at
Shepherd
College
in
Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
This was Smith's second competition.
Smith said this contest was
much better than his first debate.
"I got clobbered in the first
competition, but I persevered
and learned and was very sue- •
cessful in this one," he said.
In order to have a debate;
there must be a debate topic.
This year's topic is "that the
United States Federal Government should amend Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
through legislation, to create
additional protections against
racial and/or gender discrimination."
Scott Thomson, debate team
coach,«said a lot of thought

that's what you
should be planning.
It's going to be complicated this weekend, but if you make
your plans or can even
start, your trip now,
you'll be well out of
difficulty's way by
the time conditions
change.
TAURUS: Something
you thought you had
pretty wellfiguredout
could take an unexpected turn. Your
problem, or perhaps
the solution to your
problem, is in communications. There's going to be all kinds of
information coming
out. Some you suspected, but some you
don't have a clue
about, and that's what
will cause the change
in procedure.
GEMINI: The Sun is
in Scorpio and the
Moon is going into
Sagittarius today.
Gemini symbolizes
conversations about
trivial matters, and
Sagittarius likes to talk
about philosophical
subjects. Both of you
tend to stir each other
up. But, you're riot
going to have time to
discuss things quite
as much as you'd like
because there's simply too much work to
do. Take care you
don't get in trouble.
CANCER: This is a
good time, fonyou to
make decisions concerning- projects you
and your loved ones
want to work on together. You're still
very strong as far as
«f
*
your intuition is concerned, and that's a
big help if you're making big decisions,
which is exactly what
you ought to be doing right now.
LEO: There will be a
strong compulsion for
people to talk about
things. For you this
will be most likely to
show up in your relationships with the
people you love best
This is important, and
you need to devote as
much time as you can
to listening to what is
going on with the
people you love.
You'll lead even better if you know what
mese people want and
need.
VIRGO: It looks like
you're in the mood to
clean things up
around your place.
Changes are indicated, and you might
have to rip a few things
apart in order to get
everything just; the
way you want it.
Something drastic.
Trie overall result will
be a good one, but
right now, things
might look worse than "
theyvdid before.
LIBRA: The Sun will
be going into Sagittarius at the end of this
week, and you'll notice the big shift already underway. Sagittarius, for you,
means education. It's
the sign of scholarship and philosophy.
It's also a sign you
find fascinating, and
today you'll get a
taste of what is to
come. There should
be some very stimulating discussions out
there. Don't be embarrassed if you can't
quite keep up yet. Be
patient with yourself.
SCORPIO: If you've
Q u e * been thinking about
asking for a raise, this
is a. great day to do it.
You're going to be
more outspoken than
usual, and it should be
relatively easy to find
the right words. It
looks like there are
several things in your
favor. One is a tough
job you've recently
done. You made it look
easy, and others have
noticed.
SAGITTARIUS: The
Moon is in your sign
now, giving you a bit
of an extra advantage.
Venus is there in your
sign, too, and so are
Pluto and Mercury.
These are absolutely
M
*ft
marvelous conditions, as far as you're
concerned. The combination gives you a
sharp wit, quick timing, passion and
compassion. You're
fast on your feet and
~>~with•your-mind, so.
you can outmaneuver just about any
adversary.
CAPRICORN:
You're into some sort
of dilemma today. It
looks like you don't
really feel like you
can talk about this
freely yet, and it's not
a good idea to do that
anyway. You need to
get all the facts and
figures sorted out before you think about
going public. But for
you, right now, discretion is the better
part of valor.
AQUARIUS: Itlooks
like there could be a
couple of surprises
today. Those are
more in the area of
friendships. Your
work is going to be
going along the same
.r.rajls it was on yesterday. You have accomplished the major
part of what you
were trying to do, or
at least you should
have by now.
PISCES: It looks like
a person in authority
has some sort of
scheme for you. He
or she has not got
this thing figured out,
and that's where you
come in. You need to
do the creative part.
Help this person figure out how to accomplish what he or
she has in mind.

Marist image is not reality
ByMKALAMINLEE
Staff Writer
As I leave to graduate in May,
I am very afraid of what I see on
this campus. Marist College was
at a crossroads when I came in
as a freshman in the fall of 1995.
Issues of diversity, gender, and
academics were at the forefront
of issues that needed to be dealt
with. I got involved as a member of the Student Programming
Council to handle issues of diversity and programming. I was
the editor of the NIA (Black Students Union Newspaper) in the
hopes of using it as a tool to
erase the negative stereotype
placed on Black students on this
campus as "separatists". Finally, I ran to be the student representative to the administration
as Student Body President to
finally get our voices heard, and
our concerns acknowledged.
Four years later, all the issues
I fought for still have not been
dealt with in a satisfactory manner. Marist College has done
an excellent job of beautifying
the campus, but have a done
poor job in supplying a diverse
and academically enriching environment for all students.
For, example, the new library
will have threeflo'ofswith1 computer lab's'and hew offices: Will
the library have more books and
other periodical resources for
students to use? I do not think

This is in response to the drinking article in The Circle. I think it is not fair that
Marist as a college will not let anyone truly experience college. There is no
denying that the true college experience involves a little bit of alcohol. Marist is
trying to act like a parent to the adult students at this college.
I remember in orientation mat the staff themselves called us adults. Why are we
not treated like adults? I know many people in many colleges and they all say that
Marist is ridiculous in its strict policies.
Crossing Route 9 is also not a problem because at 2 in the morning there a r c
hardly any vehicles passing. It is in my own view and my fellow students view
that Marist should act like an establishment we fund and stop acting like it wants
to be our parents. If we needed parents around all the time in this phase of our
lives we would have stayed home.

Beck's new album, Mutations, brings the same' eclectic
musical style that we are all used
to him performing, but also adds
Beatles-like psychedelic pop to
his repertoire. •
-Beck Hansen, who first came
into the popular music scene
with the hit Loser, is best known
for taking many kinds of music
and be able to. genuinely perform and combine each type.
Since his debut, Mellow Gold,
he has played blues, folk, rock,
pop, rap, soul,.country, .and
punk. In OdelayiAxi incredible
and musically innovative album,
he fused all these different kinds
of-styles, but from the help of
the producers, The Dust Brothers, he proved that he can make
some of the best funk/hip hop
music of today.
In Mutations, Beck brings
some country, blues, and folk,
but leaves behind hip hop and
punk. While replacing the latter, he brings in Bossa Nova, but

It's been called a timeless
classic. It's been.called the
Romeo and Juliet of our cen^
tury. It's called West Side Story.
On Nov. 19,20, & 21 at 8p.m.

Marist College Council on Theatre Arts in conjunction with the

Mutations. The crisp guitars
and 60s like keyboards dominate the trance like song. It
sounds just like it could have
come from the Beatles in the late
60s/early 70s, but Hansen
doesn't totally steal from the
group and brings some of his
own personal presence to it.
Bottle of Blues, as name of the
PAGE 11
song implies, is a blues tune, but
it also has a little folk and p6p in
it too. It has a really melodic
bliies guitar riff that is solidly
accompanied by the upbeat pop
of the band.
Just like Neil Young, Hansen
can make a country song that
many non-country fans can actually enjoy. In Sing It Again,
die sweet sounding guitars and
soft drumming combine nicely
with Beck's ragged, folk singer's
voice. The song is one of the
strong points of Mutations. It
is extremely strange and melancholy because it sounds both
happy and sad at the same time.
Out of the 12 songs (there's
a secret bonus song), almost all
of them are really good. One
tune that did not totally work
was O Maria. Unlike the other
songs on Mutations, it lacks the
spirit and musicianship that the
rest display, but it is still okay.
Overall, it is a very good
record. Beck's guitar playing
and singing is really maturing
and it seems that his musical
style is broadening even more.
My only warning is that it is
very noncommercial and is laid
back as compared to his last album.
From what I have heard, this
was an experimental album for
Hansen. Supposedly, this album was actually going to be
1 released quietly hy the independent label, Bong Load and then
an Odelay-like LP would be released by Geffen in the near future. Geffen, Bed:!? major label,
really wanted to capitalize on his
popularity with Odelay, so they
are now releasing the CD's and
tapes of this album.
If you like Beck, you will
probably really enjoy this one.
If you are not familiar with Beck
and you are curious, try Odelay
and then you.can see if you
want to listen to Mutations.
Current music trends
that have got to go!
byPATRICK WHITTLE
A&E Editor
Being the Arts and Entertainment editor of a fine publication
such as The Circle gives me an
opportunity to comment on
anything and everything going
on the A & E world each week.
It also gives the entire campus
justifiable grounds to accuse me
of being an obnoxious (expletive), something that is becoming more than customary recently. This week I figure what
better way to toss gasoline on
the flames than to write a piece
on current music trends that are
embraced by the masses, which
yours truly just so happens to
abhor?
Keep in mind that I have little
or no background in most of the
subjects on which I am about to
display my unabashed opinion.
Rather, I am taking it upon myself to denounce styles of mu-
sic that I have a thoroughly uneducated impression of. And I
wonder why people think I am
an obnoxious (expletive).
Let us start with the most
ungodly of flavors-of-themonth: Swing Music. Most individuals I know who are drawn
into this drivel know next to
nothing about the origins or history of swing as a musical movement. However, they sure do
love zoot-suits. The demographics of this new obsession
are mind-boggling: this may be
the first big commercial success
to appeal primarily to people
under die age of 14 and over the
age of 35 exclusively. The music itself I supposed has merit,
after all it did gamer a huge following (several decades ago).
This ties in beautifully with

Throughout the film, Bobby
establishes himself as a star athlete while hiding his college career from his mother. Eventu; ally though, his hormones and

his mother into a tub of sulfuric

her body disintegrates. At that

scene in which the primarily

film's writer managed to take
something so tragic and transform it into comedy. Although
there is nothing funny about the
KKK's actions in themselves,
its context successfully entertained. Interesting concept is it
not?
Anyway, the team battles

Theatre: West Side Story
coming this week to Marist
...continued from pg. 11
Co-Producer Keri Dixon contributes the success of the show
to the hard work of both the cast
and crew.
"Without the dedication of
everyone involved with the
show, this wouldn't have been
possible," she said. "We are
very lucky to work with such
great people.
Marist's production of West
Side Story is under the direction of Kristen Coury. This is
Coury's second production with
MCCTA, having directed last
years' musical Joseph and the
Amazing .
Technicolor
Dreamcoat. Her other past professional credits include directing her own independent film,
directing television commercials, and directing various other
theatrical productions.
West Side Story marks choreographer Cindi Parise's fourth
production at Marist. She has
choreographed the last three
MCCTA musicals: Fiddler on
the Roof, Guys and Dolls, and
Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat. Parise
is a member of the Actor's Equity Union.
In charge of the music direction is George Croom. Croom
has been musical director for,
directed, and appeared in many
productions regionally and locally.
Juniors Michael Seaman and
Jennifer Schneiderman star
Tony and Maria. Seaman is
making his debut on the Marist
stage. Schneiderman has been
previously seen in MCCTA's
productions of Marvin's Room
and Macbeth.
Senior Daniel Allen stars as
Jet leader Riff. Playing Riff's
lieutenant, Action, is sophomore Christopher Yapchanyk.
Senior Kevin Boyer stars in
his fourth musical as Maria's
older brother and Shark leader,
Bernardo. Playing opposite him
is sophomore Katie McQuade
as the sexual, witty Anita.
Sunderland said the talent of
the cast is evident in their performance.
"West Side Story is the type
of play that requires a lot of
emotion and character building
from the actors. The talent
within the club brings the audience on the emotional roller
coaster ride set within the plot,"
. he said.
After all the rehearsing and
hours put in, Boyer said the cast
and crew are sure of one thing.
"It's going to be a great
show," he said.

Patrick's Words of Wisdom:
"I am ashamed to be a
member of the human race
but I don't want to add any
more to that shame, I want
to scrape a little of it off."

Marist puts together
third straight big win
by THOMAS RYAN
Sports Editor
It was the end of a Marist football era on Saturday.
The greatest statistical era"
ever in Red Foxes football history ended with a 40-14 win over
the Siena Saints in what was the
final game for Marist standouts
J.J. Allen, Jerry Gerth, Reid Ellis,
and Darren Valdes.
Allen was once again the big
story. He carried 33 times for
199 yards and for the third consecutive game scored four
touchdowns. Those numbers
allowed him to go over die 3,000
yard mark for his career, as he
now stands at 3,038. His four
touchdowns extended his
school-record to 41 for his career.
Still, finishing his career with
a win was Allen really worried
about.
"Wins like this are just amazing," Allen said following the
game. "We fell short of expectations this year, but to win here
just feels so great."
The expectations by the Red
Foxes.werejof course a conference championship,' although
Georgetown and Duqueshe
were clearly the front runners.
Neither of those teams ended up
winning thetitle,as the Fairfield
Stags ended up at the head of
theMAAC. Still Marist tied the
school record for wins with
seven in a season, the fourth
time they had accomplished mat
since becoming a varsity programing^.
Speaking of records, as often
happens when talking of the
football team the last two seasons, the Red Foxes were coming off their Division I-AA
record-breaking performance
last year when they allowed
only 39.8 yards rushing per
game last season. After game'
one when Georgetown's Rob
Belli ran for over 150 yards, it
looked like the defense would
have a hard time coming anywhere near last year's numbers.
But as the season went on, the
Red Foxes adjusted to new defensive coordinator Rick Pardy's
system and began to play better almost every time out. They
had played so much better that
Marist was actually number one
in the nation in total defense
heading into the game against
Siena.
It was the special teams that
actually got Marist on the board
first, however. Sophomore
Kevin Henry blocked a Siena
punt early in the first quarter and
fell on it in the end zone to put
the Red Foxes up 7-0. The lead
was short-lived however, as
Siena capitalized on Bill
Tramaglini'sfijmbleinside the
Marist five to tie the score.
Frank CorvinoAvent over from
two yards out oh the first snap
after the recovery and itrlooked
like the Red Foxes were in for a
game.
Allen put Marist back on top
on thefirstplay from scrimmage
after the'Saints kicked off.
Allen busted through several
Siena tackles on bis way Jo a
70-yard touchdown run. The
Saints came right back to tie the
game in the second quarter.
Saint's wide receiver Ryan Smith
got by the Marist secondary and
caught a 29-yard touchdown
pass from freshman quarterback
Joe Spagnola.
Before the half was over, however, the Red Foxes again got
me ball into the end zone. Allen
capitalized on one of Bassel
Nelson's two interceptions on
the day with a 4-yard touchdown run. Jeff DeVito missed
the extra point, but Nelson and
Allen combined to give Marist
a 20-14 lead, and the momentum
heading into the second half.
What a second half it was,
too. The Red Foxes outscored
the Saints 20-0 in the last two
quarters of play. Valdes opened
the scoring with his third interception return for a touchdown
of the year to extend the lead to
27-14.
Allen then closed the book on
what was an unbelievable personal year for him. Touchdown
runs of 13 and 10 yards in the
final quarter gave him a grand
total of 21 oh the season to go
along with 1,646 yards. In addition Allen's father got to see him
play for the time in his college
career.
The tremendous year brings
to a close one of the greatest
careers in Marist history, and
Allen says he's thankful for every second of it. ' ••'
"111 never forget the friends I
made here," Allen said. "I'll remember all die people here and

College men's basketball coach
Dave Magarity could forget
about the absence of senior
, point guard Bo Larragan.
Forward Tomasz Cielebak minimized the loss of Larragan, who
is out until mid-December with
a shoulder injury. The sophomore scored 21 points on 8 of
12 shooting and hit four threepoint field goals as Marist defeated the One World All-Stars
74-67 last Saturday night at the
James J. McCann Center in an
exhibition game.
Junior Joe McCurdy added 15
points and senior Bobby Joe
Hatton had nine points, eight
rebounds and 10 assists.
Magarity said he was pleased
with Cielebak's play and wants
to work him more into the offense.
"Tomasz is really going to be
a go-to guy," he said. "We have
to get him more shots."
Marist controlled the first half.
