"It's a total invasion of privacy, and we still don't know who's doing it," she said. . · A lack of operable post office boxes . throughout the campus, saia several · employees, is one large issue contributing to a lack of'security. ..· According · to John Pollack, · mail services supervisor at Marist, the postal department is currently in the· process of repairing the college's 130 broken post· office boxes .. · "How can you maintain adequate security and a student's right to privacy when you have two, three, four, . and in some cases even five people sharing one post office box in Champagnat," Ash said:. · Zimmermann, Ash and Julie Rutledge, temporary mail services .. · · supervisor at. Marist, said . they thought one major cause of the · theft and vandalism js a lack · of student regard for .the college's postal facilities and ·. for one · another ... "There are well over a hundred broken boxes _right now. Som.e · .students seem to have little, if any, ·respect for others and our . postal system,'' . Ash said. «I can't count .tlie number of times, · while · distributing "· mail, .. rvei found . crushed . oranges, broken . beer botties and . half-eaten ice cream cones stuffed· in many of the boxes." Zimmermann said another . possible cause for the ✓ lack of · security is that each year students · are assigned different post office boxes, but the college fails to change box lock combinations. According to Waters, security guards patrol campus postal areas several times each day and night guards have not yet caught anyone in the act of vandalizing or· stealing. from post office boxes. ·· Addressing the issue, Anthony Campilii, business/finance of- ficer at Marist, said it's difficult . to maintain tight postal. security arnund the clock when post office . boxes . are · 1ocaied · in several · · different areas around campus. "The current postal system was designed and implemerited in the l960s when the resident population at Marist was much less than it is now," Campilii · said. "What I would like to do in the near future, if we can find the. space, is to consolidate the entire Marist postal system,' having all post office boxes in one central location, to be· kept . under lock and key at night." · In the meantime, Campilii, · who has been at Marist for 21 years said the college has already done · several things . to stop theft and· vandalism. Foe example, he ,said, the college. installed metal plates on each posr office box in the · place of see-through plexiglass~ · · '!You've got to keep in mind that these boxes are on the -main thoroughfare · in each of the dormitories, and are easy prey for almost anyone, especially during" the night," Campilii said. "Many times part of the blame lies with the box's owner. Since many owners keep · their combinations set, for their own convenience, all it would take for anyorie to open a box is one turn of the dial to find the last number of . the· com- bination." As . final point, Campilii stressed that students should urge their parents not to send them cash in the mail, but rather, to send checks or certified mail instead. "At least with a check or certified letter, you're covered if something should happen,'' Campilii said. "Once cash is lost it's gone for good." . . . . . l'ONIGHT ;; JERRY-JEFF WALKER . . . . . .,MARCH:· . 3rd·: .. ··.

Unemployment is the biggest problem now. I couldn't afford college expenses without the government's assistance." Amina Collector, a junior, agreed with Lawson's theory. "I just read a cartoon· in the Poughkeepsie Journal. It showed all kinds of people standing in an unemployment .. line. Then, the next panel showed the 1984 recovery. The only people left standing in the line were all black men and women," Collector said. "I'm working two jobs, plus going to Marist full-time. But it's hard on all students, black or white." Jamel Hansen, a social work major, said, "Financial problems can destroy a black student's l':Ollege future. I've managed with GSL, PELL and workstudy grants. It's hard to survive today." Karen Atkin, the director of financial aid, said federal and state grants are still available for all students to lessen the financial pressures of colleges expenses. "Marist College puts a lot of money out to· help the young people," Atkin , said. "Students can apply for TAP (Tuition Assistance Program), GSL (Guaranteed Student Loan), and workstudy.

More and more, it seems if people have interest in only the materialistic aspects of life.

Student Leaders met with members of The· Circle staff to discuss making The Circle more of a . "worldly" publication - one that would deal with issues that exist outside of Marist College, and that would be written, in part, · by'students of different disciplines. After much thought and planning, The Circle's editorial board decided to form an Op-Ed page of opinionated essays. This "Viewpoint" page, which has been running. ever since The Circle's Feb: 9 issue, is now in danger of being.cancelled because of a lack of contributors. It's the same old story. People complain about The Circle, claiming it is not "radical" enough. But it is these same people who are . too lazy to pick up a pen and write their own opinions of what is happening in this world, or even to submit an old opinion paper from a class. "Viewpoint" is an invitation to both faculty members and students to peek outside the Marist bubble and speculate on .what is going on out there. It's an invitation that people should take advantage of. One of the first objectives of those who plann~d the "Viewpoint" page was, in addition to looking at events and problems in the outside world, to involve students of wide-ranging interests.

Once spoken by Mr. Bumble in Charles· Dicken's Oliver Twist, this statement still lingers in. the mind~ of many today. And although the. theory that women should be kept "barefoot and pregnant" . has faded .. away, society has, nevertheless, trained both· men and women to . believe that.women are not as capable as men of holding high-power positions in the job market. '· America has always believed in the mobility myth: · ~egardless of your social· and economic_ background, · you can,:, '.'pull yourself up by your own• boot- straps." Everyone has- the ·op- portunity· to receive a_ .higher education, obtain a degree, and enter the job · .market with a. promising career. However, there her own personal achievement is a loophole in this myth, and · and pleasure. that loophole is gender. Gender bias can be loosely defined as a predisposition. or tendency to think about and behave· toward people mainly O{! the basis of their .. sex. Likewise, sexual harassment can be con- sidered discrimination based on sex. Women in the working world are often confronted by ·sexual discrimination, which puts man at an unfair advantage. · . Jn the past, the male has been the· sole breadwinner, while the woman . remaili'ed at home, cooking, cleaning and taking care- of . the · children. But in these modern times, many women have careers and work outside the home. It may be because the family needs - a. supplemental income, or maybe she works for Indeed, role reversal may occur, as did· in the case of John Lennon and. Yoko Ono· Lennon. She left the house each morning and spent the day handling financial matters and business obligations. John stayed home, playing the role of "househusband." Because of these changes in our society, the woman is now qependent upon · her . income. Work is critical to her. survival and independence. If she lacks job alternatives, she could be particularly vulnerable to in- timate violation in the form of sexual abuse at work. Take, for example, the case of Professor Judith Zola, who was in need of tenure in order to be assured of her position at Ramapo College. Sexual harassment can be seen as the unwanted imposition of sexual requirements in the context of a relationship of unequal power, such as that between a supervisor and his subordinate. Jack Waldman, Ramapo ad- ministator, allegedly realized the situation and attempted to take advantage of it. He said he could help her to win tenure, if she would submit to his sexual desires, a~cording to the professor. Professor Zola ended up suing the college. The result of sexual harassment can be firing for sexual non- compliance, as it appears to have been in the Ramapo case, or retention conditioned upon continued sexual compliance. If Professor Zola had agreed to Waldma·n•s request, it may have become a never-ending circle for her in that in order for her to continue working there, she would also have to continue to have sex with him. Sexual harassment ruins a woman's potential for social equality. How can she be treated as an equal in the office, when the man only thinks of her in terms of a suitable sex partner? Sexual harassment at work, I believe, uses a women's em- ployment position to coerce her sexually, while using her sexual position to coerce her ·economically . Either way, it's a losing battle for the woman, unless the courts realize the full severity of sex discrimination, and correct it Jennifer Nash is a sophomore majoring in communication arts.

The Soviet deficit spending! Our very own neighbor, Franklin Roosevelt, started irresponsible spending. What have the Republicans done to try and change it? What could they do since the country has only elected three Republican Presidents to date (including Reagan) since Roosevelt, and both houses of the Congress have been dominated by Democrats for the last forty years. Eisenhower slowed the increase in deficit spending, and inflation was kept at low rates during his administration.

I had this overdue book, you see, and the library's computer had been threatening to do all sorts of horrible electronic things to me. Something about the Columbia Record & Tape Club, I think ... but that's another story. "We're looking for where the communication arts center will be," said his mother, trying to be helpful.

"Mmmph," added Dad in agreement. "This Chapel is incredible," I said. "It took three Marist Brothers 20 years to build it. All they had was a phillips-head screwdriver and a handsaw ... " "We heard about all that." "You did? Of course you did. Everybody does. What exactly were you told about the center?" "Not a lot, really. Just that it would be ready before Harold graduates,'! said Mom. '!A slow learner, are you, Harold?" "Heck no," Harold said, a lit- tle insulted. "Planning to attend part time, then?" · "Of course not. Can you just show us how much work has been done? They said things were pro- gressing on it.'' "Things are progressing?" I asked. "That's what they said," in- sisted Mom. "Then it must be true," I lied . "But you see, your things aren't always their things, our things. You see?" "No." "Well, your things are pro- bably bricks or concrete or something along those lines.'' "Something like that," said Mom. "Mmmph," agreed Dad. "Their things are more along the lines of ... plans and draw- ings, those sort of things." "There's a drawing of what it will look like?" This was Howard, looking hopeful. "Not yet," I said, and they seemed disappointed. "But," I continued with all the optimism I could manage, "the architect's working on it, and it'll be a big day here at Marist when it comes, I can tell you that." "So you mean there's nothing to see?" asked Mom. "Nothing to do about this?" "I wouldn't say that, exactly." I pointed towards the Chapel. "All things considered, a few prayers couldn't hurt. You know, 'God bless the subcontractors,' that sort of thing." "I don't understand all this," protested Harold. Poor kid, he lqoked confused, betrayed, so I took him aside.

Run-------------- continued from page 1 "The only problems l'm ex- pecting are flat tires, loose bolts and that sort of thing," said Sciaretta. "I'm convinced that the chair will make it.'' Bellantoni said that a recent problem with shin splints is really all that he's worried about. And the spin splints, he said, are something that he'll just have to work around. "(Marist Athletic Trainer) Glen Marinelli has showed me how taping my shins can help," he said, "so I don't think it'll be too much of a problem at this point." In case problems do arise, Bellantoni and Sciaretta will have medical help close by at all times. Freshman Richard Greer, of Nanuet, N. Y., a certified Emergency Medical Technician, will ride in ·the van that is to accompany the two throughout the run. Use of the van, which will be driven by junior Ray Burns of Dix Hills, N. Y ., is also the result of a donation. A local rental com- pany, according to Special Services Director Diane Perreira, is charging them a very small percentage of what it would normally cost. Bellaritoni and Sciaretta will each be covering half the distance · from Boston to Poughkeepsie. Switching off after each ten-mile segment of the tre_k, they hope to cover a total of 40 miles per day. Perreira was quick to stress how much work such a run can actually be. "20 miles a day may not seem incredible, but when you do that for five days, it can really take its toll," she said. From Boston, they will travel on Routes 20 and 23 in Massachusetts before entering New York near Hillsdale. They will continue on Route 23 until it turns into Route 9 above Rhinebeck, and then proceed down Route 9 until they reach Marist. Bellantoni and Sciaretta both _said that they have been "run- ning"· 60-70 miles a week in preparation for the run. In ad- dition, Sciaretta said he's been lifting weights three nights a week .. Sciaretta said that the run is his way of helping people see that "disabled" doesn't mean un- capable. "I just hope that this year's run will help to show how abled the disabled really can be," he said. Perreira said that the fund- raising procedure will be different this year. Because· of the problems that arose with the pledge system, Perreira said that on-the-spot donations are preferred this year. She added that donating can be made in the Office of Special Services, room 181, Campus Center. 1 41 .

'rofesSC>r shOWs Optimism in USSR power shift Casimir Norkeliunas . . .. ~ b,:Jam~s Norman: · ·on February 13, Konstantin U. Chernenko was.chosen to succeed Yuri Andropov . as · General · Secretary of the Central Commit- tee of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union. 'Two weeks later, the chance for better United States-Soviet rela- tions inay be imminent, according to Dr. Casimir Norkeliunas, assis- tant professor of Russian and German at Marist College. "At this point, it looks very en- couraging and very promising," Norkeliunas said. "He (Chernenko) is cautious in his public statements about the U.S. He's trying to create a climate for peaceful negotiations.'·' Norkeliunas cautions that it may be a little early to draw con- . clusions. "There's a lot of guess- . ing going on," he said about what the U.S. knows of the new Soviet leader. Norkeliunas said the Soviets want peace with the United States out of necessity. fie said they need the U.S. very badly for food and technology. "The annual · annual crop failures necessitate buying wheat ·from· the west," he said. "They want. an open avenue for discus- sion and trade for peaceful pur- poses." · • · · · Norkeliunas emphasized that the _Soviet people in particular want to remain on peaceful terms with the United States. . -"People in the Soviet Union have· the same pacifist attitude towards war that we have. They don't want any war," he said. He said that in World War II, the Russians lost over 20 million people, 5 million of which were army personnel. That leaves ap- proximately 15 million Russian civilians killed in the war. "Their scars of World War II have not healed yet," Norkeliunas said. "They're very much afraid of war." The Soviet government often points the finger at the U.S. in a propogandistic way,_according to Norkeliunas. He said the Soviet government claims that the U.S. has replaced Nazi Germany as the ones who create warfare. "The communist government, through · propoganda, creates America as a boogey-man, and that we really are war-mongers," said Norkeliunas. That atti~ude could change under Chernenko, Norkeliunas said. He said we should give the · new Soviet leadership a chance to indicate to us that they wish for peaceful co-existence · that was present before the Reagan ad- ministration. "lf we remain in this beligerent state, we cannot deal in peaceful negotiations," he said. "This bickering between these two · superpowers could reach a serious level ... and niight bring us closer to a war." Norkeliunas said he expects Chernenko to pick up where An- dropov left off in trying to raise the standard of living in the · Soviet Union and clean up some of the corruption inherent in the working class of the country. He said that for a long time the Soviet people were promised that the economy would produce a lot of things to make the Soviet's life easier. That has not happened, ac- cording to Norkeliunas . "They don't even have enough clothes," he said. "A pair of good boots would make the Rus- sian a lot happier." Norkeliunas also said that there was a great deal of indifference ·on the jobs in the Soviet Union. There was widespread absenfeeism from work and cheating in labor.

So many thoughts are running through my head, but ideas and words are often elusive. I was back in Donegal at the crack of New Year. A friend, Mark Stewart, and myself, hitched along the Atlantic coast. The West of Ireland has so much natural character, the wind so much strength, and the rain so much anguish. The weather, like the Irish, is unpredictable. We · walked through pellets ·of hail, in- to glorious sunshine and were turned back by a wind which roared with such raw ferocity that it was silent to my ear. Donegal, oil the Northwest coast, can also be deceiving. There are times when the winds flows so gently that a feather and a rock are just as easily moved, and then there are the times when the wind rages with so much anger that it is as if God was . _expressing his frustra- tion at at country whose destiny is out of his control. · I've been in Ireland for over .four months now, and I must ad- mit that I'm proud to be here.

No Upon arrival in Galway, I went to Marie Healy and Liz Murphy, but they weren't around, so I left a message and headed back to the Football match. By the time I got back the match was over, the players showered, and the bus waiting to go. Actually, they were waiting for me. The Footballers had won their match and were in great form. The trip back was fill- ed with song, laughter, and Guin- ness Stout. The ·coach was made to sing, ·as well as the priest and bus driver.

He steals from his workplace and sells it on the black market." Chernenko promises to rein- troduce discipline to the Soviet work force, said Norkeliunas. He said we really don't know what takes place in the Politboro, which is the main governing body · of the Soviet Union. The United States guesses a great deal, and normally misjudges when it comes to assessing the Soviet Union. "The Soviets are so secretive that we really don't know what's happening," he said. Norkeliunas' impression of Chernenko so far is that he likes what he sees. "The few steps he has taken toward the United States have been encouraging," he said. Norkeliunas came to the United States in 1949 at the age of 12. He was born in Lithuania, which is now one of the 15 Soviet republics.

To combat the mess, Tarantino extended the work· week for the maintenance staff. The staff, and the electrician and the plumber as well, now come in on Saturday and Sunday. Personnel were reassigned, so that the better workers weren't confined to one area of work. . • Over intersession, the floors and walls were washed in Leo, Sheahan, Champagnat, Benoit, Gregory, the townhouses, and the houses on Route 9. Tarantino said that the dorm rooms would be cleaned before summer break. The ceilings and the bathrooms would also be cleane(!. "We expect to do all the rooms in Champagnat this summer," said Tarantino. But Tarantino's pride and joy is obviously the . "facelift" of Cham~agna\ . .<''We!-te goin.g t<>.do:, what we did · with Leo and Sheahan," he said. Starting with ,. the ninth floor and working down, Tarantino's staff is painting and repairing· walls. They completed a similar project in Leo and Shea,han over the intersession. Tarantino described the seventh, eighth and ninth floors of Champagnat as having "the_ worst walls in the building." Floors orie through six just need to be "freshened up." ·. "I'm trying to operate this school," said Tarantino, "as I would operate a hotel or a resort or a hospital." Heywood said he believes the facelift will reap many benefits. "When a residence hall looks good," he said, "it's bound to be· treated better." However, vandalism remains a problem that will not go away. Heywood and Tarantino agree that the problem is caused by a small group of students and that peer pressure is building to stop it. Tarantino pointed to an in- cident in Leo, in which students encouraged another student to stop throwing a ball in the building, as evidence that residents are taking more pride in their dorms. According to Ornit Gross, the Champagnat residence director, some students came back from intersession "very active." Hence, she said, window5 and furniture have been broken, some cans of paint have been stolen, and the rug from the fourth-floor lounge was taken. In addition, some residents continue to launch projectiles from their windows. Champagnat is surrounded by bottles, boxes and food. Residents have been notified · by memos and house meetings, said Gross, that the littering is taken seriously. But Gross did say, however, that maintenance has improved in- credibly since last semester. Wednes~ay,- March 28_ . The Equitable ..

JOIN ~US! which are being displayed at_ the Donnelly Fine Arts Center until March 5. Lewis says he is trying to achieve a. certain content and meaning in his painting. "I'll often start with an idea that is serious but the painting often ends up in a humorous vein," Lewis said. One example of this humor is the oil on canvas painting, · "Dangerous Cargo." It depicts a rather unassuming man steering a rowboat with a bear twice his si2.e sitting calmly behind him. · Lewis 'often employs this subtle humor and he is always interested in audience reaction to his works. One unique display in Lewis' exhibit is actually two paintings, "Jesus and the Fig Tree" is composed of a profile of Jesus looking left toward: the second painting, a fig tree on a bright yellow background. This piece is also accompanied by a Biblical excerpt. Lewis' favorite of the ten paintings . displayed is "The Impressionists to the Rescue." The painting shows a man falling through a frozen pond. As two others try to save the drowning man, there are two more who simply stand and watch the events. · "This painting is the most symbolic and symbolism may be the theme I pursue next in my work," Lewis said. Richard Lewis was born in Queens, New York in 1955. He attended five colleges before receiving a B.F.A. in visual arts from the State University of New York College at Purchase in 1977. He received an M.F.A. in painting from the University of Michigan in 1983. He has taught at the University of Toledo, the University of Michigan and currently at Marist where he lectures in Arts and Values. Although all the paintings in this exhibit are oil on canvas, Lewis does not limit himself to one medium. "I also work with prints, portraits, drawings and use acrylic on paper as well," Lewis said. "When I was in high school, it was hard to choose between a career in art or literature,..,' Lewis said. Although he chose to paint with colors rather than words, perhaps each painting also contains ideas characteristic of a great novel.

Nonetheless, the letter bothered me because I realized that many might not know what kind of coach Marist has had. I'm not talking about half-court presses or matchup zones here - from an objective coaching standpoint, it's probably time for a change. · But when the entire campus reads that • 'the class that he has is an embarassment to the entire college," I think some might not think twice about it, might start to believe it. I have dealt with Coach Petro and have gotten to know him to a moderate degree, and believe me he deserves better. As far as not being on the court for Siena's awards presentation, I agree that it would have been a nice gesture. But it also would have been unexpected and pro- bably unnoticed. In all, it didn't matter. · There is a wide variety of coaches in basketball. Some are arrogant, some abusive to of- ficials, others constant com- plainers. Many of them coach players,·not people. But Petro took a genuine in- terest in his players, helping them · whenever necessary and welcom- ing them into his home. To say his team is a family would be a·cliche, and it wouldn't quite be true. But it would be close. Earlier this season, a player suffered a personal tragedy - the death of his mother. The funeral came when the team was on the road. What do you do in that situation? Petro flew home and attended, missing two road practices. An outstanding humantarian act? · No. Just an example, one of many. He's not the Mother Teresa of basketball, and he's not a coaching genius. The new coach will most likely improve the basketball program faster than Petro would have, were he to con- tinue. But to cheer his departure, call- ing him an embarrassment to the school, is an injustice. And you can say I said so. Those of you who agree can show it• with an ovation at the Robert Morris game on Saturday - his last regular season game - when he is introduced, right after the players. See you there. .

Ramapo jumped to an early 1-0 lead, but Marist fought back and knotted the score at two after one period. The teams then skated to a 4-4 tie after two periods. With \ess than three minutes re- maining, the Red Foxes clung to a slim 5-6 advantage. Ramapo tied the score with 2:07 remaining, · and went ahead to stay 40 seconds later . Meanwhile, the Red Foxes were playing without three of their leading scorers; sophomore Tim Graham, junior Rob Trabulsi, and senior co-captain Jim McDonald. Trabulsi missed the van ride to . the game and McDonald, who left for the game earlier, could not play because Trabulsi had his equipment. Graham missed the game because of an academic conflict. Head Coach Jim Peelor was unavailable for comment because of illness but junior Rob· Caldiero, who had five points in the game, said: "The lack of players was definitely a factor in the loss." The Red Foxes skated only two lines (10. players) the entire game. The team also -lost junior John Mahar to a game misconduct penalty, in a game marred by "one-sided officiating," accor- ding to Caldiero. Caldiero praised the overall play of the team. "It was the best -game we've played all year," he said. "There was good passing, showing we played as a team, which we haven't done all season. "We also played solid defense but we just tired out becaused of the lack of bodies " said Caldiero, who played the whole game. "They (Ramapo) were a good hard-hitting team." Co-captain McDonald praised goalie Chris Sked, who fielded Ramapo's 30 shots on goal. Marist had 34 shots on goal. Along with Caldiero's five points, leading scorers for Marist included John Deardon (three goals, two assists), and Mike Brunell (four points). .. .. and.
