The Marist Institute for Public Opinion has also been featured on the public television program "Inside Albany." McDonald watched videotapes of the pro- gram on Tuesday night, and then watched Miringofrs team• at work. "I think she was very.impressed with the college," said Miringoff. He also said McDonald did not restrict her questions to only the institute. Miringoff said that the success of his polls are an important start to getting Marist recognized. "It's important to establish at Newsweek arid other places that Marist exists here,'' he said. Miringoff also said he believes that . the institute epitomizes "what this college is all about - theory, practice, and communi- ty." Whether McDonald's report will be printed in the magazine is not certain. "In this business, there's never any guarantees,'! said Miringoff. · Gotfryd was so impressed with the school that he raised the idea of coming back with an exhibition of his work. Gotfryd has been photographing U.S. presidents for the past 25 years. His presen- tation would include pictures of every president from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Ronald Reagan.

Students were fired 'from their jobs after questions concerning · the security of fall semester final exams were raised; · ' · ·. Following the final exam scandal, Al Doscher,·managerofthe Copy Center, posted a memo on the door of the copy room stating that "students will not be permitted to make copies in the center." · . . . · · . · · Now, however, Doscher says that students caii request to have copy-work done at the center. "At this point, students can drop off work and pick itup later," he said. · . Andrew Molloy, academic vice president, said he was told that a process was being established for students to be able to drop off work and then receive the copies later. · · Gerard Cox, dean of student affairs, said he was unde_r the same impression. · Many students, however, said that they are unaware that they : can once again use the Copy Center. . .. · "I think most people are under the impression that we can't go near the Copy Center _.:. period," said sophomore Nancy Champlin. . Joe Karney, a junior, said he is unconvinced about the Copy Center's willingness to do work for students. "I'll be going to job interviews soon," said Karney. "I need · resumes and other things copied, and from what I've seen over the past couple weeks, the copy room probably won't be very cooperative." . Mark Zangari, InterHouse Council president, stressed a need for the Copy Center to make its exact rules known. "Student leaders constantly need large amounts of copies done," he said, "and the Copy Center has done little to make clear what the specific policy will be in that case.'' Zangari added that unless the system is refined now, w~ile p~o- ple are still adjusting to the changes, the Copy Center suuauon will have the potential to go haywire again. "Students are just beginning to realize that they can actually drop off work," said Zangari. "Unless they set up a counter soon where students can drop work off and then be called when it's c~mpleted, it's going to return to its old ways." by Catherine DeNunzio The Academic Review. Board dismissed 28 Marist students after the fall semester for not fulfilling academic requirements. Freshman students are required to maintain a cumulative average above a 1.7, and upperclassmen must have at least a 2.0 G.P.A. Failure to uphold these standards results in academic probation or dismissal. · According to Elizabeth Nolan, · director of student academic affairs, the number of last semester's dismissals is about average. In J ariuary the number usually ranges from 30 to 40. students. In June dismissals range from 80 to 100 students. "The bulk of the student body is up for review after the spring semester in June," said Nolan. . In the freshman class, three students were dismissed · for academic reasons. The remainder of dismissals were evenly divided throughout sophomores and juniors. "Hardly any senio_rs are ever on probation or are academically dismissed," said Nolan. "Most seniors have met their requirements and work hard to maintain them." According to Nolan, the major problem is that students don't know what is taken into con- sideration in their academic review. "Students don't realize their grades are . cumulative, if they fail a course first semester freshman year, it continues to have an impact throughout the rest of their college year," said Nolan. "They need to un- derstand, riiht from the early years in college, that they have to take academics seriously." · She also said that students often don't understand how critical failure in a course can be. Many think that they will automatically go on probation family• problems," said Nolan. "There is every attempt to give students a fair review and take all factors into consideration." Nolan stated that the Academic Review Board's decision to dismiss students from Marist is concerned with two factors. The first is for the student's best interest. "It's a very expensive 'There is no policy that states a student is entitled to a . semester of probation.' and have a semester to make up for it. This isn't always true. "There is no policy that states a student is entitled to a semester of probation," said Nolan. The decision to put a student on probation or to dismiss a student is up to the Academic Review Board. The Board consists of four or five faculty members who change periodically on a rotating basis. Nolan is the chairwoman, and doesn't particiapte in deliberation except to give the board the information required. Waivers have been given to students in certain situations. "We take into consideration emotional problems, health and mistake if the student isn't learning," said Nolan. The other concern, according to Nolan, is to maintain the high standards of Marist. "A diploma from Marist represents a qualit} education," she said. Students can be readmitted after academic dismissal until one full semester has passed. These students. must attend another college and must bring back to Marist evidence of successful study there. "This is a minimal · requirement for readmittance," said Nolan. "They must also show that they "have a clearer sense of academic goals and a firm plan of study." • r \. • I l I I I ► f r r- -- ·- Page 4 • THE CIRCLE· February 16; 1984 - '···' ... , . : I . ~-.,. .. , , . -- ·.Readers•••·write . . . . . . . . .. .· ' ' .. ·.

With the increase in specialization, there has been a severe decrease in traditional majors such as English, philosophy, and history, to name· a few.

"You're taking Introduction to Ethics, aren't you?" asked Sean. "Never mind that," said Ken, really annoyed now. "You pro- bably don't even care about the human condition.'' "That's not true," said Sean. "Everybody should eat right and get plenty of exercise." "Oh, this is hopeless," said poor, misunderstood Ken, stamp- ing off all frustrated. "It's hopeless!" It's not, of course. Everybody gets over Ethics after the course is over, and Sophomores' Disease is gone within a semester or so. In fact, I know a lot of people here at Marist who never had either problem. · But they all have a selfless dedication to wild weekends, and theirs is another story entirely.

Construction will begin in April of this year. _ The announcement was made on Jan. 9 by the vice president of the W .J. Barney Corporation, Charles McQueeney. The Barney Corporation· will build the new 13-story, 245 room hotel. The construction company also built the downtown office building located across from the civic center. The hotel will be located on 1.1 acres that the City_of Poughkeep- sie owns at the southwest end of Market Street, next to the west- bound arterial highway. According to McQueeney, the project, which was initially ·pro- posed 10 years ago, will cost an estimated $17 .5 million. Initial construction of the hotel had begun in 1978 but was stop- ped because of the death of Frank Eberhard who was instrumental in the construction of the hotel. It was · being built as part of downtown Poughkeepsie's redevelopment efforts. The W.J. Barney Corporation took' over the project• after Eberhard's death, but had trouble raising money necessary to build the hotel. Merchants employed near the · site of the new hotel said they felt that the project will benefit the area. Peggy Lay of Sigalow Op- tometrists located on the Main Mall said, "I think the hotel will make things a lot better, they can't get any worse.

"When· I was growing up, rock and roll was a ghetto expression for sexual intercourse, now it is a universal phrase.

Father Harry stumbled upon this method of communicating his sermons to the public just by chance. "When I graduated from the seminary I became a high school teacher and counselor.

"He captured my attention with his easy going manner," said Paul Raynis, a.sophomore from Rockaway, N.J. "I think he's a lot different than some other priests, he· seems to understand the younger generation~ which makes it easier for the kids to relate to him," Raynis said.

Commenting on the Marist breakdown against FDU, Peelor said of his players, "There is good hockey talent, but we're not a team yet because we lack the ice time for practice. "In a fast moving sport like hockey, ice time is needed," Peelor said. "We just don't have a big enough budget." .

"It can only help those · who took the carpet if it is returned, but if not, and we find out who is respon- sible, the punishment will be severe," he said. Heywood said there are no plans or money to replace the carpet in the near future, and Gross added that each of the students who live in Champagnat will be fined for the carpet. "We can't blame the floor where the carpet was taken from, but we do feel that someone in the buiiding knows what happened to it. Hopefully that person will come forward and save the people in the building a lot of money," said Gross. The reaction from the students in House II was mixed. Greg Guidetti, a sophomore, said, "To tell you the truth, I didn't even notice." "I think less people ·use the lounge now that the rug is gone," said Sue Lecki, a sophomore from Nutley, N.J. Ian O'Connor, a com- munications major who lives on the fourth floor said, "I don't think we should be charged for the carpet, because they searched the rooms and it wasn't found .in the building." . A similiar situation occurred almost three years ago to the day, when the carpet in the second floor lounge was stolen in 1981. The carpet was recovered from an off campus apartment in Dutch Gardens though, soon after. Gross was a senior at Marist at that time and remembers the situation well. "The carpets had just been added to the lounges to make them more of a gathering place for students, and· people couldn't believe that one was stolen less then a day after it was put in," she said. ..... .. -.
