Alpha  Phi  hosted  Creating  Connections  through  New  Member  Education  on  Wednesday,  Nov.  10,  where  J.D.  Louk,  Director  of  Collegiate  Operations  for  Alpha  Phi  talked  with  the  University’s  Greek  organizations  about  how  to  create  traditions  in  line  with  University  guidelines. “I  think  that  hazing  is  a  really  touchy  and  awkward  subject  here,â€?  said  Jenna  Fishner,  Alpha  Phi  Hofstra  Chapter  president.  “Everyone  does  it  whether  they  realize  it’s  hazing  or  not.  I  think  that  people  need  to  look  at  the  rit-Â
uals  they  call  tradition  and  some- times  they  need  to  be  reevaluated.  That  was  a  really  hard  reality  that  Alpha  Phi  had  to  face.â€?  During  the  Spring  2010  semes- ter,  Alpha  Phi  was  accused  of  practicing  new  member  education  that  violated  the  New  Membership  Packet.  Most  of  the  discussion  during  the  event  focused  on  the  content  of  this  packet.  The  New  Membership  Packet  outlines  examples  of  behaviors  (volun- tary  and  involuntary)  that  can  be  GHÂżQHG DV KD]LQJ DV ZHOO DV UHDI- ¿UPLQJ WKH SXUSRVH RI IUDWHUQLW\ and  sorority  life  at  the  University. “Your  new  member  packet  is  ridiculous,  it’s  a  lot  of  stuff,â€? Â
said  Louk,  the  event’s  speaker.  “How  do  you  follow  this?  You  don’t.â€?   Louk  engaged  the  audience  by  walking  into  the  aisles  and  asking  questions  directly.  “I  know  that  tra- dition  is  pretty  touchy  here,â€?  said  Louk.  “Maintaining  tradition  can  be  amazing,  but  it  can  also  detrimen- tal  to  our  organizations.â€? In  the  past,  the  University  has  had  several  incidences  concerning  hazing.  In  the  1940s,  the  Greek  life  held  Hell  Week,  which  was  a  period  set  for  new  members,  or  ‘pledges,’  to  be  hazed.  At  the  time,  most  hazing  occurred  outside  where  other  students  could  watch.  A  1947  Hofstra  Chronicle  article Â
entitled,  “Student  Council  asks  cooperation  in  Frosh  Hazingâ€?  covered  Student  Council’s  (now  known  as  Student  Government  Association)  request  to  Greek  life  to  participate  in  hazing  rituals.   Today,  SGA  does  not  have  a  spe- FLÂżF SROLF\ DERXW KD]LQJ KRZHYHU it  follows  University  guidelines  which  do  not  allow  any  form  of  hazing.  ³, WKLQN *UHHN OLIH LVQÂśW Ă€RXU- ishing  as  much  as  it  could  be  because  of  the  negative  reputation  we’ve  gotten  from  things  in  the  past  with  new  member  education,â€?  said  Fishner. In  2008,  New  York  Post  said,  “a  Long  Island  college  freshman Â
says  she  has  been  hounded  by  vengeful  sorority  girls  who  verbally  and  physically  attacked  her  and  threatened  to  “slit  her  throatâ€?  when  she  decided  she  didn’t  want  to  join  their  group.â€?  That  group,  Phi  Epsilon,  was  found  not  guilty  for  all  charges  regarding  this  2008  incident.  However,  a  second  FKDUJH ÂżOHG DJDLQVW WKH VRURULW\ in  a  completely  separate  incident  later  that  year  found  them  guilty.  Phi  Epsilon  was  suspended  from  campus  in  Spring  2008  and  returned  in  Fall  2009.   “They  served  their  time,  came  back,  and  they’ve  been  compli-Â

The  Zarb  School  of  Business  Department  of  Management,  Entrepreneurship  and  General  Business  partnered  Wednesday,  Nov.  10  with  Capital  One  Banking  to  offer  three  teams  of  students  the  chance  to  build  their  own  business  with  a  startup  fund  from  Capital  One. “The  students  participating  in  this  program  are  gaining  hands- on  experience  that  they  can  take  with  them  into  successful  careers  upon  graduating  to  distinguish  themselves  from  others  in  a  competitive  world,â€?  said  Patrick  J.  Socci,  Dean  of  the  Zarb  School  of  Business. 7KH ÂżUVW JURXS WR SUHVHQW ZDV Rent-ÂA-ÂSpot.  The  idea  for  their  company  stemmed  from  the  fact  that  parking  is  unsatisfactory Â
on  campus,  and  they  wanted  to  provide  a  quick,  convenient,  guaranteed  spot  for  a  select  few  students,  faculty  and  staff. Rent-ÂA-ÂSpot’s  idea  is  to  have  a  silent  auction  to  win  one  of  20  prime  parking  spots  on  the  academic  side  of  campus.  The  20  winners  would  also  have  the  opportunity  to  share  the  spots  with  their  friends.  For  example,  if  that  one  student  only  commuted  to  campus  Mondays,  Wednesdays  and  Fridays,  they  could  share  the  spot  with  a  friend  who  only  comes  to  campus  Tuesdays  and  Thursdays. The  silent  auction  would  take  place  two  weeks  prior  to  the  start  of  each  month,  because  the  parking  rentals  would  be  monthly.  Public  Safety  would  also  be  heav- ily  involved,  because  they  would  have  the  right  to  tow  people  using  the  spots  that  they  are  not  renting Â
for  that  month. The  second  company  to  pres- ent  their  ideas  to  the  panel  of  judges  was  Student  Lottery:  A  Scholarship  Fund  for  Students.  They  are  currently  deciding  between  two  names  and  several Â

logos,  wintuition.com  and  scholar- foradollar.com. The  idea  behind  their  company  is  to  have  a  lottery  similar  to  Mega  Millions,  where  it  is  only  a  dollar  for  one  line  of  numbers,  and  you  FDQ KDYH XS WR ¿YH OLQHV RQ RQH

Next  week,  the  judges  from  Capital  One  will  hold  one  on  one  meetings  with  each  team.  After  the  meetings  and  continued  delibera- tion,  they  will  choose  a  winner  and  award  them  the  money  to  start  their  business  on  campus.  Each  group  had  an  estimated  startup  cost  of  about  $3,000  for  advertis- ing,  accumulation  of  resources,  and  maintenance  costs.

The  network  executives  must Â
have  thought  viewers  couldn’t  see  Olbermann  as  objective  if  they  knew  he  donated  to  democratic  cam- paigns.  And  the  view- ers  have  a  point,  since  political  donations  are  public  and  anyone  with  an  Internet  connec- WLRQ FDQ HDVLO\ ÂżQG ZKR GRQDWHG what  to  each  campaign.  But  this  sudden  reversal  of  their  decision,  just  two  days  later,  destroys  any  hope  that  MSNBC  has  of  being  viewed  as  an  objec- tive  network.  By  succumbing  to  public  pressure  –  over  250,000  people  signed  an  online  peti- tion  –  and  allowing  Olbermann  to  return,  MSNBC  proves  it’s  as  liberal  as  Fox  News  is  conserva- tive.  If  the  network  really  wants  to  be  seen  as  objective  then  it Â

The  holiday  season  is  called  the  most  wonderful  time  of  the  year.  It’s  the  time  when  we  are  encouraged  to  be  better  people-  while  at  the  same  time  as  indulging  ourselves.  It’s  a  time  full  of  Christmas  Trees,  Menorahs,  Kwanzaa  beads  and  whatever Â
other  decorations  may  come  up  in  our  celebration  of  the  winter  holidays.  Christmas  carols  will  be  playing  on  all  the  radio  stations,  Santa  Clauses  will  appear  left  and  right,  and  maybe,  we’ll  even  get  a  little  bit  of  snow.  There’s  joy  all  around.  It  really  is  the  most  wonderful  time  of  the  year.

objective.  Olbermann  wrote  an  open  letter  to  Countdown  viewers  after  it  was  announced  that  he  would  rejoin  the  show  on  Tuesday.  He  thanked  viewers  for  their  support  and  said  that  he  was  punished  for  breaking  a  rule  that  he  knew  nothing  about  and  is  inconsistent- ly  applied.  As  a  step  towards  true  objectivity,  MSNBC  should  take  this  letter  as  a  suggestion  and  educate  their  anchors  and  news  staff  about  their  donation  policies,  as  well  as  enforcing  them  across  the  board  instead  of  sporadically. Olbermann  also  stated  that  he  was  willing  to  explain  his  political  contributions  both  on  air  to  the  viewers  and  off  the  air  to  execu-Â

Americans  can  afford  to  pay  higher  taxes;Íž  it  is  not  unfair  or  unpatriotic,  it  is  a  fact.  Kristof  notes  that  the  economic  prosper- ity  of  a  nation  affects  its  political  stability.   As  the  economy  is  not  solely  determined  by  those  who  hold  the  most  power  and  wealth,  we  should  not  ignore  this  fact.  We  are  a  country  that  contin- ues  to  let  those  who  have  the  greatest  capability  of  providing  monetary  aid  blissfully  glide  by.  This  is  doing  serious  damage  to  those  citizens  not  fortunate  enough  to  earn  as  much  as  others.  These  decisions  do  not  PHUHO\ DIIHFW WKH DIĂ€XHQW WKH\ have  implications  for  the  strug- gling  and  the  unemployed.   Some  have  suggested  cut- ting  taxes  for  the  wealthiest  of  Americans  as  a  means  to  stimulate  the  economy.  This  is  merely  to  attack  the  problem  from  a  narrow  perspective.  Those  with  the  most  wealth  remain  a  minority.  If  they  are  asking  for  tax  cuts,  how  likely  are  they  to  spend  their  extra  money  in  ways  that  will  promote  widespread  economic  recovery  and  growth?  Kristof  advocates  other  means  that  might  prove  more  effec- tive  in  stimulating  the  economy.   He  suggests  further  promotion  RI LQVXUDQFH EHQHÂżWV IRU WKH unemployed,  and  the  creation  of  jobs  programs.  Focusing  on  initia- tives  like  these  is  likely  to  be  far  PRUH EHQHÂżFLDO LQ UHJDUGV WR WKH economy,  and  far  more  compas- sionate  to  citizens  most  in  need  of  assistance.

%HJLQQLQJ RI KROLGD\ VHDVRQ DSSURDFKLQJ HDUOLHU HYHU\ \HDU continued from a7 Hallows:  Part  1.  I  love  giving  and  receiving  gifts.  I  have  188  Christmas  songs  on  my  iPod.  It’s  a  beautiful  season,  but  I  don’t  want  to  see  anything  about  it  until  after  Thanksgiving.  The  reason  why  Black  Friday  exists  is  to  start  the  holiday  season  (via  indulg- ing  ourselves,  but  also,  indulging  others,  because  that’s  when  gift  shopping  begins). Every  year,  we  are  bombarded Â
with  Christmas  imagery  for  far  too  long.  I’ve  heard  of  people  seeing  Santa  Claus  decorations  in  stores  as  early  as  August.  Why?  Does  anyone  really  need  to  buy  a  Santa  Claus  in  the  summer?  No,  it’s  totally  unnecessary.  While  August  is,  at  least,  in  an  anomaly,  how  often  do  we  start  spotting  Christmas  decorations  in  the  middle  of  October,  before  even  Halloween—a  holiday  known  for  its  commercialism  and  store Â
popularity—is  over?  Again,  it’s  totally  unnecessary. Just  as  I  started  to  write  this  article,  I  heard  my  suitemate  singing  a  Christmas  carol.  It’s  barely  November.  Christmas  isn’t  for  more  than  a  month.  Why  are  we  getting  into  the  festivities  so  early?  The  answer  is  because  we’re  encouraged  to  do  so.  I’m  sure  I’m  not  the  only  one  who  loves  the  holidays  so  much.  We  are  coerced  by  the  commercial Â
market  to  start  the  Christmas  season  early.  Our  natural  excite- ment  for  the  holiday  season  encourages  the  corporations  to  bombard  us  with  commercials  and  early  sales.  Their  reasoning  isn’t  bad.  Christmas  is,  if  I  am  not  mistaken,  the  biggest  shopping  time  of  the  year,  and  starting  the  season  early  is  good  for  them.  For  us,  however,  the  excess  of  holiday  cheer  makes  the  season  ordinary. Â
When  we  become  accustomed  to  Christmas  all  year  round,  it  isn’t  as  special. By  starting  the  season  so  early,  we  are  ruining  the  magic  of  the  season.  We  are  taking  away  the  wintery  joys  of  the  holiday  and  replacing  them  with  something  that  becomes  increasingly  mun- dane  as  the  season  progresses.  So,  Hofstra,  I  urge  you—please,  do  not  start  your  holiday  season  until  at  least  Nov.  26.

We  all  remember  watching  ³7KH /LRQ .LQJ´ DV OLWWOH NLGV RU seeing  wildcats  on  Animal  Planet  or  the  Discovery  Channel.  We  remember  being  captivated  by  those  majestic  animals  that  had  such  power  and  beauty.  Over  the  past  few  decades  humans  have  taken  this  fascina- tion  with  wild  cats  to  a  dangerous  level.  People  around  the  globe  and  in  the  United  States  espe- cially,  have  taken  these  big  cats,  VSHFLÂżFDOO\ OLRQV DQG WLJHUV RXW RI their  natural  habitat  and  put  them  in  their  own  backyard.  They  don’t  give  them  to  zoos  or  keep  them  to  try  and  preserve  any  kind  of  species;Íž  they  are  simply  keeping  them  as  pets. Does  anyone  else  see  the  problem  here?  Tigers  and  lions  above  all  else  are  wild  animals,  which  means  they  are  animals  that  are  meant  to  be  kept  in  their  natural  habitat.  One  of  the  most  basic  instincts  for  these  animals  is  to  kill  and  hunt.  It  is  something  that  they  need  to  do  in  order  to  survive  in  the  wild,  and  this  is  not Â
something  that  can  be  bred  out  of  them  simply  because  private  owners  think  that  the  animal  truly  cares  about  them.  Any  kind  of  animal  will  develop  some  kind  of  affection  for  the  purpose  that  brings  them  food,  but  one  wrong  move  can  be  fatal. 7KH VKRZ Âł)DWDO $WWUDFWLRQV´ on  Animal  Planet  takes  a  closer  look  into  the  people  who  take  wild  animals  into  their  homes.  A  woman  in  Louisiana  kept  a  pet  leopard  for  about  three  years  before  she  went  into  its  cage  and  turned  her  back  and  it  completely  scalped  her.  Animal  Control  had  to  be  called  and  the  leopard  was  shot  in  order  to  save  the  woman’s  life;Íž  it  was  all  because  the  animal  was  just  doing  what  it  naturally  does.  Another  woman  kept  three  SHW WLJHUV EXW VRRQ WKH ÂżQDQFLDO burden  began  to  become  too  much  for  her  and  she  was  forced  to  feed  them  road  kill.  The  tigers  became  severely  malnourished.  One  ended  up  attacking  and  kill- ing  her  because  of  the  situation  it  was  in.  Both  of  these  incidents  were  when  the  animals  simply  acted Â
on  instinct  and  in  the  end  paid  the  ultimate  price  for  it.  Not  only  is  a  keeping  tiger  in  private  owner- ship  dangerous  for  the  individual  animal,  it  is  also  dangerous  for  the  species  as  a  whole.  The  World  Wildlife  Fund  released  statistics  that  stated  for  every  one  tiger  that  exists  in  the  wild,  there  are  10  in  captivity.  This  proves  the  fact  that  keeping  animals  in  captivity  really  has  no  EHQHÂżW 7KH RQO\ EHQHÂżFLDO ZD\ to  keep  animals  in  captivity  is  to  keep  them  in  zoos.  When  animals  are  in  zoos  they  are  treated  with  the  proper  respect  and  surrounded  by  professionals  who  are  trained  to  deal  with  wild  animals.  Any  other  option,  such  as  private  ownership  or  keeping  an  animal  for  perfor- mance,  does  nothing  but  hurt  the  animals  involved.  Tigers  and  other  wildcats  are  beautiful  animals,  but  they  should  stay  in  the  wild  for  as  long  as  they  are  able.  We  don’t  want  these  majestic  animals  to  become  extinct  for  our  own  self- ish  reasons.

I  am  a  misanthrope.  There  is  no  sense  not  coming  straight  out  and  admitting  that  before  you  embark  upon  the  arguable  nonsense  that  may  ensue.  That  being  said,  I  think  that  humanity  is  in  utter  decline.  Though,  that  doesn’t  mean  much  coming  from  a  misanthrope. Be  it  the  increasingly  poor  weather  or  the  overall  short-Âtem- pered  nature  of  Hofstra  students,  lately  I  have  been  exceptionally  peeved.  As  I  said  before,  human- ity  is  in  decline.  America  as  a  culture  is  more  concerned  with  what  in  the  world  Nick  Cannon  and  Mariah  Carewy’s  baby  could  possibly  look  like  than  the  state  of  the  economy.  And  so  because  deep  down  I  care,  I  created  a  list  in  which  you  can  better  humanity  as  a  whole  in  ¿YH VLPSOH ZD\V $ EROG VWDWH- ment,  yes,  but  at  this  point  what  have  we  got  to  lose. Â
Perhaps  the  easiest  way  to  improve  yourself  and  better  the  culture  of  a  generation  is  to  watch  better  television.  I’m  not  imploring  you  to  read  Kite  Runner  instead  of  Tucker  Maxx‌but  there’s  is  excellent  television  out  there.  I  saw  nobody  dressed  up  as  Liz  Lemon  for  Halloween.  Though,  that  may  not  be  the  number  one  problem  with  society,  it  sure  is  a  point  worth  making.  If  I  had  a  dollar  for  every  Snooki  I  passed  on  Oct  31st  I  could  put  the  makers  of  the  Bump-ÂIt  out  of  business. With  shows  out  such  as  30  Rock,  Weeds,  and  Dexter  it  EDIĂ€HV PH DV WR ZK\ WKH VHDVRQ ÂżQDOH RI WKH 5HDO +RXVHZLYHV RI New  York  City  attracted  a  series  history  high  of  2.64  million  view- ers.  And  so,  I  plead  you  to  make  cultural  references  to  Verdukian  holidays  and  night  cheese,  as  RSSRVHG WR ÂżVW SXPSV DQG Âł7KH 6LWXDWLRQ ´ , WKLQN WKH UHDO VLWXD- tion  on  our  hands  is  how  the  hell  we’re  going  to  make  it.

Something  I  learned  from  good  ol’  Ms.  Webster,  my  second  grade  teacher,  is  how  to  judge  personal  space:  if  you  stick  out  your  arm  and  touch  a  person,  you’re  too  close.  Paired  with  the  overall  disregard  for  germs  and  sanita- tion,  people  need  to  maintain  the  appropriate  talking  distance.  While  society  is  in  complete  decline,  and  the  quality  of  human- ity  is  lower  than  ever,  I  think  that  you  can  make  a  difference.  Making  the  small  alterations  in  your  life  will  make  the  world  a  little  less  pathetic.  In  watching  quality  television,  learning  to  dress  (weather)  appropriately,  limiting  PDA,  and  observing  per- sonal  space  will  make  society  a  little  more  bearable. Though,  there  is  little  hope  for  America  to  regain  respect  as  a  nation,  perhaps  if  we  all  made  the  world  a  little  less  like  Long  Island  we  could  wake  up  every  morning  a  little  easier.

For  more  vegan  or  vegetarian  options  on  campus,  you  should  check  out  other  locations  than  Nature’s  Organic  Grille.  The  sautÊ  of  pasta  and  vegetables  there  that  is  very  popular  is  more  than  appe- tizing,  but  is  not  as  healthy  as  you  may  assume.  The  process  sucks  the  life  and  nutritional  value  out  of  the  vegetables.  It  may  be  yummy,  but  if  you  want  something  not  doused  in  olive  oil  try  Eli’s  Kosher  Kitchen  or  the  vegan  options  at  Au  Bon  Pain.  Either  way  there  are  many  great  things  to  eat  if  you  a  pro  veggie  and  anti  meat,  you  just  have  to  look.

It  takes  a  crazy  man  to  be  a  goalkeeper.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  what  the  Hofstra  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  soccer  teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  newest  net  minder  Roberto Â
Pellegrini  thinks.  After  helping  lead  the  Pride  to  an  improbable  comeback  in  the  Colonial  Athletic  Association  standings  and  a  playoff  berth  on  the  last  day  of  the  season  with  a  clean  sheet  in  a  2-Â0  win  over Â
James  Madison,  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;cookie  mon- ster,â&#x20AC;?  as  he  is  known,  has  found  his  new  home  in  front  of  goal  in  Hempstead.  Cookie  Monster?   How  can  a  6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;4â&#x20AC;?  Italian/Czech  19  year-Âold  have  such  a  nickname?  After  a  cookie  purchasing  ¿DVFR ZLWK IHOORZ WHDPPDWH redshirt  freshman  Anton  Maksuti,  during  preseason  in  the  stu- dent  center  cafeteria,  Pellegrini  decided  to  associate  cookies  with  women  from  now  on.  His  team- mates  gave  him  the  nickname  because  he  uses  the  term  so  much.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  are  chocolate  chip  cookies,  brown  cookies,  vanilla  cookies,  expired  cookies  [older  women]  and  I  have  a  cookie  of  my  own  which  is  the  homemade  cookie  [his  girlfriend]  and  I  love  my  homemade  cookie,â&#x20AC;?  Pelligrini  said.   Like  his  non-Âtraditional  way  to  view  the  ladies,  Pellegrini  comes  from  an  untraditional  background  when  it  comes  to  soccer.  Hailing  from  Rome,  Italy,  Pellegrini  grew  up  as  a  fan  of  the  Italian  soccer  club  AS  Roma.  He  JUHZ D ÂżHUFH KDWH IRU FURVV WRZQ rivals  Lazio.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  my  cookie  [girlfriend]  cheated  on  me,  I  would  hate  any Â
Lazio  fan  more  than  the  man  that  my  girlfriend  cheated  on  me  with,â&#x20AC;?  explained  Pellegrini.  The  freshman  started  his  soccer  playing  days  as  a  defender  at  the  age  of  seven.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;All  I  wanted  to  do  was  tackle  the  for- wards,â&#x20AC;?  said  Pellegrini.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;After  two  months,  my  coaches  told  me  to  go  in  the  goal  and  I  stayed  there.â&#x20AC;?  When  he  was  11,  the  scouts  from  AS  Roma  saw  him  play  for  his  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  team  and  signed  him  onto  their  youth  system  After  he  was  loaned  to  another  Italian  team  due  to  lack  of  playing  time,  Pellegrini  visited  the  Czech  Republic.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because  my  mom  is  Czech,  we  went  every  summer  and  in  2006,  there  was  a  stage  for  goalkeepers  by  Petr  Cech,  Chelsea  goalkeeper,â&#x20AC;?  Pelligrini  said,   â&#x20AC;&#x153;and  since  we  were  at  Sparta  Pragueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  training  center,  the  people  from  Sparta  Prague  noticed  me  so  they  offered  me  a  tryout.â&#x20AC;?  At  AC  Sparta  Prague  (2008- 2010),  Roberto  led  the  club  to  the  under-Â19  national  championship  in  the  2008-Â2009  season  and  also  played  for  the  U-Â19  Czech  Republic  national  team  from  2009-Â2010. Goalkeeping  is  no  easy  job  though,  especially  at  some  of  the Â
highest  youth  levels  in  Europe,  hence  why  it  takes  a  crazy  man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When  things  are  going  well,  nobody  will  say  anything  about  the  goalkeeper,â&#x20AC;?  said  Pellegrini.  ³:KHQ WKLQJV VWDUW JHWWLQJ GLIÂż- cult,  it  is  always  the  goalkeeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fault.â&#x20AC;? It  was  off  to  America  for  Pellegrini  after  his  time  in  the  Czech  Republic  where  he  signed  on  with  the  Pride.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  could  have  stayed  in  Europe,  but  I  just  wanted  the  challenge,â&#x20AC;?  said  Pellegrini.  Pellegrini  got  his  wish  for  a  challenge  when  he  made  his  debut  at  Northeastern  University,  when  the  Huskies  put  up  four  goals  on  him.   After  the  shaky  debut,  Pellegrini  held  a  clean  sheet  in  his  next  start  against  'HODZDUH DQG RQO\ JDYH XS RQH goal  in  his  next  four  starts.  He  has  given  up  only  one  goal  as  he  has  gone  4-Â0-Â1  since  the  Northeastern  game  and  now  leads  the  team  in  wins.   It  is  safe  to  say  that  Pellegrini  has  travelled  the  less  beaten  path  on  his  way  to  Hofstra  University,  but  the  quirky,  outspoken  goal- keeper  has  found  a  new  home  as  he  looks  to  lead  the  Pride  throughout  the  CAA  playoffs.
