, · .. . , New fire alar~ system installed By David Metz New fire alarm systems valued at $22,557, designed to notify both campus Securitv and outside fire authorities in event of a fire are presently being installed · in Benoit and Gregory · Houses, and are planned for the library , Fontaine; and Seat of Wisdom Chapel, according to Director of Safety and Security Joseph Waters. The new svstems will be hooked into the present heat-activated sprinkler systems in those buildings. When the renovations . are completed, the sprinkler system, when activated, would trigger a horn that will be heard throughout the building. Eventually, Security hopes to run a connection to the . switch board that would alert Security to the alarm. This system, according to Waters, will also contain an "automatic_ dial" that would contact the county alarm center . · "This system has some good features," said Waters, "The alarm will not shut off until done so manually, and it comes equipped with a battery pack , so even in the event of a power failure the alarm would still sound." Waters added that Fontaine, the library and the chapel would all eventually be equipped with th~e systems, but stated that Benoit and Gregory have top priority. _. · .. · . _ . . _ _ _ , : - ~ ~ ~~t~ . 9 ~ ~~~• , .~n~ : ~ !~a!_j;~' - ~ ~~i~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~~ -f ~ ~ ~f~~ ~ I ~ ~~~ ·.

Thanks To the Marist Community, On this past Sunday, 2-17, a small group of members of Marist's chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon made a trip to Queens, to visit the parents of Ambrose "Bernie" . Verlin, the Marist sophomore who was tragically killed last . semester in an auto accident. The visit was primarily to present to the Verlins a framed certificate, a check for $500, and a formal letter of explanation. The money was raised, by us, with your assistance, at a mixer in December and the letter ex- plained the event. · Presently, we · would like to convey their gratitude to any and all of the Marist Community who helped make the visit as rewarding as it was. On behalf of the entire fraternity, I would like to per- sonally express my.thanks for the overwhelming response of the entire community in that tragic time of need. · Fraternally, JamesJ.

The talk is sponsored by the Political Science club. Badgley, a retired 61 year old insurance salesman who is legally blind, says the call to run for president came from God twelve years ago. He says all of his callings came from God while he slept at night. Badgley is a candidate in the Republican primary ballot in 13 states. The first _ primary that he is entered in is in Kansas on April 1. "A year ago I got a call and . went to Boston to find out what you needed to run for president. I found that if you had recognition through the media you did not have to have any petitions or pay the filing fee but each state had different laws. I paid the $100 filing fee in Kansas so they can't kick me off the ballot," says Badgley. Badgley says he decided to run for president after the calling from God and because, as he explained, he has three sons, aged 25, 21, and 19 and did not like the way that the country was going for them. He felt "That it would be wrong for me if I did not do anything. The older generation should be a servant of the younger generation, not a master." Badgley feels that it is necessary for "the country to turn back to the word of God. The laws have destroyed the coun- try . ., Taking examples from the Bible, Badgley points out that the world was once run on ten laws given to Moses and in 70 A.D. it was changed to 613. Badgley say~ it is the laws which destroyed the Christian nation and will . eventually destroy our nation . Badgley has travelled 35,000 miles since he announced his candidacy on May 7, 1979. He says his entire campaign is being funded by himself. He says he travels solely by bus and has spent approximately $3600 in his campaign for the presidency. Badgley says he will have a woman as his running mate. He says he was walking along the road one day and the name of Shirley Temple Black came into his head as a running mate. He says he has not personally contacted her but has sent her various news stories. As he quoted from Scripture he said, "when it is the right time it will happen." Badgley feels that by coming to Marist it . will be worthwhile for him because he says he gets his strength from young people. He says he found this strength by travelling to different colleges and feels that he has given college students a direction. He says "I am not in favor of the registration for the draft, nuclear power or abortion. T'nere are certainlv other ways of ob- taining energy and it is impossible to legislate morality on the abortion issue." Badgley, a tall, thin man, is easily identifiable as he walks with his long hair and beard, as well as a five foot staff. "My long hair represents the strength of Samson while my staff represents David." Badgley, who was elected as . a representative to the North Carolma General Assembly in 1963, feels that his entire campaign centers around the words of the Bible. "Scripture has answers if we follow it," says Badgley . Frat gets pledges Freshman grades . improve by Tim Breuer By Loretta Kennedy and Jim Townsend percent in 1979.

Inquiring Photographer What do you think of the idea of a United states boycott of the summer olymplcs in Moscow? Kenny Sullivan By Bill Taylor Many people will remember Ken Sullivan for the three minutes he played in the last men's home basketball game. But little do they know that Ken has been in- volved in 14 extracurricular activities. Ken Sullivan, a senior accounting major, with a minor in economics, has been in- volved in extracurricular activities such as Who's Who Among College Students, member of the Marist College accounting society, treasurer of the Marist College Union Board, as well as his position on the Jim Rea, Jr.,: Although my chances for - basketball team. _ a gold medal · will have diminshed if we "I want to be remembered for more than boycott, I strongly support President just the ;ffianager of the basketball team," Carter's view. - · emphasizes Ken.

This , adds up to $29,000 per semester. "I would like to see students come forward and voice their opinions about events held on campus. Because with more student in- terest the attendance will be better at lectures, films, and mixers," says Sullivan. Kenny Sullivan student interest, and giving them a sense of direction as to their college career, and future goals," remarks Ken. As far as Ken's future is concerned, he wants to stay around the metropolitan area and get an accounting job in the private sector. He also wants to go to graduate school and get his masters in business administration . Ken jokingly says the campus has gotten a lot quieter since he and four of his friends moved off campus. "I recommend people to move off campus their senior year. It gives students a greater deal of responsibility of budgeting their time and paying their bills," says the two year veteran of off campus living . "It also provides a more private atmosphere which is more conducive to studying and comfort," adds Ken as he reclines in his chair. One significant change Sullivan has - noticed while at Marist is this year's fresh- men. "The freshman dorm has had a positiv~ effect.

"All! wanted was a chance to shoot," says Ken while he hurries off for a meeting with the senior class committee. Financial board to meet by Jim Townsend The financial board will "hopefully" have met with all the clubs on campus by Tuesday to discuss their secondary allocations says Don Ball, financial board chairman . Six clubs had not met with the financial board as of Monday and Ball says he has to meet with all the clubs and discuss their financial status to determine if they are to receive their secondarv allocations. In order to receive their secondary allocations, each of the clubs was required to show that they were working towards making up 25 percent of their initial Student Government allocation. They were first given 25 percent at the begin- ning of the semester and had to make up another 25 percent before they could receive the final 50 percent of their allocation. Ball says three new clubs asked for money from the financial board and received it. He says the three clubs were the Political Science club, the class of 1983. and the Kappa Alpha Phi fraternity. Ball says some of the money for these clubs wii! come from the allocation given to the Outlook, one of the campus newspapers , which will not be published this semester He says some money will also come fron: · the lecture committee. They were given $2000 from the financial board for three lectures but they have only had one. Ball says when the financial board is finished with all the clubs he will have allocated all the money given to them to distribute. ,----------------------------,■- Tom Daonals, Soph.: I don't think tha politics should intervene with athletics. · John Kenny, Sopb: It's a sorry thing to see but I have to go along with Presiden Cart&. . . · ;yobn Laffey, Soph.: We definitely should oycottlt is against the principle · of the lympics If 're participate. · Adjacent to Barkers Shoprite Plaza Rt . 9 Hyde Park 229-7900 FINE FOOTWEAR 14K, l0K GOLD STERLING JEWELRY LEATHER APPAREL Jewelry & Leather Repairs STORE HOURS: Mon, Tues, Wed, Sat: 10-6 Thurs, Fri: 10-9 Sunday: closed .

"Last semester was erratic," says Conklin. "We would ask if students were interested in tutoring, but it was very loosely scheduled." Now, in Conklin's opinion, her tutors are enthusiastic. They follow a strict schedule in which they at- tend English and writing classes, and then hold sessions outside of class with the students. There are eight tutors on the learning center payroll, and they all attend the actual classes, a precedent in Marist tutoring. They have all been personally recommended by the instructors and Conklin says the learning center's working relationship with the faculty has never been better. Conklin also has plans to expand the "in-class" tutoring program to the Math department. ''The Children's Hour'' Seniors Barbara Cherello and Kay Decesare are playing the leads in the Marist College Council of Theatrical Arts performance of Lilian Hellman's "The Childrens' Hour." It will be staged on February 22,23,24,29, and March I and 2 at 8 p.m. There will also be two matinee showings on Sunday February 24 and March 2. "The Children's Hour" is a drama that concentrates on the results of slander in a girls' boarding school when two teachers are falsely accused of lesbianism by some of their students. Cherello, who is currently studying with the Community Experimental Reperatory Theatre (CERT), starred as Anne Sullivan in the Marist production of "The Miracle Worker.'' A freshman, Arlene Hutnan, plays the part of Karen Wright who runs the school. Hutnan, who lives in Panama, had one of the leading roles in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" which was recently performed at Mari.st. .
