Leading the list of disappointments concerning the college experience of many of the freshmen was what they saw as a lack . of stimulation in the ·academic program at Marist. · Many students said they felt unchallenged by the scholastic work load during the fall semester. · . . ;' · · · . .. "Academically, Marist is not challenging enough. Generally, the people aren't really stimulating," said Jim Traub, a Com- munication Arts major from Newton, Conn. · "I found the school to be very unorganized curriculum-wise. The work is really urichallenging and·not at all stimulating; and the course load is light," said Steven Warner, a Communication Arts/Fashion major from Fort Collins, Colo. ~ Many freshmen also said they feel they have been misled by the administration to believe that Marist is a highly competitive school, but some students are not in agreement with the declared level of higher education. . · · . "It's easier than high' school," said Robert-"Moose" Gilbert, a criminal justice major from Mystic, Conn. ·. "I thought people w.ould act more grown up. Some people act like they're stiHin liigh school. I thought the work would be more difficult then. it-actually is," said political science major Dana Forlani, East Chester, N.Y. · According to many students, . the. upperclassmen went out of their way to convey a feeling of concern for the freshmen. : "I loved it. The 'people are really friendly," said Marta Powers, Nanuet, N.Y. · · .• "It was a great experience. I love all the people here. I would recommend Marist to anyone," said Katen Bruso, New City, N.Y. Addressing the social life question, many Marist freshmen said that they were pleased, for the most part, with the social li_fe on and off campus. "I think the social life is great. Everyone is friendly, and there's a lot of things to do," said Pisamai Jaigla, a fine arts major from Rye, N.Y. . . · Though some freshmen had negative thoughts about the fall semester, many said that they hope things will come together by the completion of their first tear at Marist. "It's a great experience to get to go away to school, both academically and socially," said Sean ·Dougherty, Canterbury, N.H. . "If you get your priorities straight and learn to balance time, you can get a lot done and ~till have time to socialize. It pays to get involved,'' said Powers. . . . a. Problem for . teens by Gary A. Davis This year, like many previous ones, a single, easily attainable drug will cause the death of over 20,000 teenagers and begin the sickness and death of millions more. This deadly drug is alcohol. The National Council on Alcoholism says that drunken driving is the leading cause of death among teenagers and estimate that 3.3 million drinking teens between 14 and 17 may develop serious alcohol problems. The N.C.A. reports that the average age a child begins t_o drink is 13, with 31 percent of high school students being alcohol misusers and'-15 percent being problem drinkers. According to the N.C.A., an alcohol misuser is a. person who gets drunk at leas.t five times a year, while a problem drinker is a person who drinks at least once a week and has more than five drinks per occasion. In addition, the N.C.A. states that alcohol is so common in our drinking society that most teenagers do not realize that it is a powerful drug and many devleop a drinking problem. The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reports that there are more than twice as many male teenage drinkers than female. Every teenager that drinks, however, does not become a pro- blem drinker. Experts point out a number of factors that cause a person to develop a drinking pro- blem. Majorie Schratz, a psychologist at Marist College with alcohol counseling experience, said that teenage drinking is a "very serious" problem in the Poughkeepsie area as well as the nation . Schratz said she feels that the problem is caused by an inability · to interact with others. "Alcohol is used as an excuse to avoid socializing with the opposite sex. It can· be frightening for ·some people, so they drin!c to avoid the fear," she said. Schratz went on to explain that a drinking problem usually starts in an immature person who has not worked out his or her identity. She called this process individua- tion." During the process of in- dividuation, the person's suscep- tibility to peer pressure should peak in high school, allowing the person to become an individual and not a member of a group, , Schratz said. N.1.A.A.A. studies have found that the drinking behaviors of peers has the strongest influence on the adolescent use of alcohol. Sehratz stressed that a person who fails to complete the in- dividuation process and allows others to control his actions will remain immatur.e and therefore may develop a drinking problem. Laurence Sullivan, a Marist College professor who had been a professional alcohol counselor for I 5 years, agrees with Schratz. "A problem drinker is someone who cannot handle awkward feel-» ings about himself and others or the opposite sex and drinks to block out their problems." he said. Sullivan, who holds an alcohol counseling certificate from Rutgers University, said that a teenager's home environment is an important factor in whether or not the person develops a drink- ing problem. "Children of alcoholic parents are perfect targets to · become alcoholics themsleves," he said. Bonnie Kavner, administrator of the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Service of the Dutchess County Department of Mental Hygiene: said she thinks most teenage alcohol problems are family related. Kavner, who agreed that teenage drinking is a serious pro- blem, did not know if Poughkeep- sie area was better or worse than the rest of the nation, cited statistics that show a much higher rate of alcoholism for people from families with an alcoholic member. The N.I.A.A.A. found that parents were a strong influence on their child's use of alcohol. A study discovered that 59 percent of all teens with at least one parent who drunk regularly were moderate to heavy drinkers themselves. Kavner strongly noted that alcohol is a dangerous drug that can kill people when it is misused. "We have people that come here for therapy who are dying from alcohol," she said. Kavner added that teenage pro- blem drinkers who go through life with unresolved problems will probably die from alcoholism in their40s. Raphael Mark, an instructor at Marist College and one of the founders of the Dutchess County Mental Health Center in Poughkeepsie, said that teenage drinking is a very big problem. He also said that the problem in Poughkeepsie is no worse than continued ~n page 7 --•Page4- THECIRCLE-Februar,2, 1984---------------------~----!'~~~~~■ ----- · ·· · ·•. · .. · ·· ·· Readers write . It's February, and college students from ' all over the nation have returned to school after Christmas break to continue their studies - well, at least some students have come back to study. Apparently many ~ students at Marist have instead chosen to i cheat their way through college. · ,; ' It's, easy. The cheaters simply get someone who works in the copy room to steal copies of tests for them. Then they talk themselves into believing that they're not cheating because they don't have the test answers ... yet: - . · I thought we were in college, not grade school. Test-stealing is immature, not to mention unfair to students who pore over books for hours rn preparation for an exam. Cheating is also sheer"fo.olishness. Taking courses at college is not required by state law, as is attendance at elementary school and high school until. age of 16; rather, college can be thought of as an investment in learning that students have chosen to make. Cheaters .are short-sighted to pay $8,000 a year to deny ·themselves ·. an education. In a broader light, stealing anything shows an extreme lack of moral character. As we know, Marist College has riot been an instituti'on that encourages· this kind of degradation of indi_viduals. By getting away · with cheaUng, students were lowering the standards of the whole college. . .. . Those, of you who have been unable_,to .. r_esist the temptation to look at stolen tests before they are officially distributed during the examination period .will perhaps now•- think twice about what you did. Such peop_le . not _only need a better lesson In the subject matter of the stolen exams, but they need a lesson in life. Cheaters do not hurt their· instructors, and, except for getting better grades then classmates who worked harder, ,, they· do. not actually hurt. other students, because they have attained less knowledge. Students who steal tests are hurting thems.elves mo~e than anyone else. . · ·· Swindlers,who are making only a minimal ,, effor.t ~o learn at ~arist~hould-get out now, before they waste more time and money.

Fox), 18; Mallory (Justine Bateman), · 16; and Jennifer (Tina Yothers), 1 L He works . at a public · television station; she·in real estate. Sounds simple enough. But "Family Ties" far exceeds in quality over other simple-minded family sitcoms . such as "Gimme a Break" and "Mama's Family." Leftover flower children Steven and Elyse have somehow managed to raise three extremely conservative children in what seems to be a hilarious flip version of the generation gap. Alex keeps stock market prices in his wallet and pictures of prominent businessmen over his bed; Mallory craves lip-glo·ss and phone calls; and Jennifer sees herself as well-rounded by playing baseball and taking ballet. The characters are fresh and funny, · ~nd now in its second season, the show does not seem to be running out of iaeas .. In perhaps one of the best episodes to date, Alex needs to be "flawlessly prepared" for up- coming_ final exams that could· determine his chances of ac- ceptance into an Ivy League college. To ready himself, he begins popping diet pills, but his endless energy - which he chalks up as his "natural boyish exuberance" - finally brings him down. This show was hilarious throughout and made its point quietly without preaching. Although most episodeds tend to focus on the kids (especially Alex), Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter-Birney, two fine actors, have their moments, too. As a long-time fan of Baxter- Birney, I love to watch her timing and delivery, which enhanced a recent episode dealing with the separation of Elyse's parents. Unable to accept the fact her mother was dating, Elyse became a nervous wreck, losing complete control, . throwing around wild accusations and driving her whole family crazy. Any lesser actress may have carried the part too far and lost all sense of credibility, but Baxter-Birney carried it off brilliantly. "Family Ties" is not overly sentimental mush. It does not remind one of the sugary sweet family sitcoms of the past like "The Brady ·eunch" or "The Partridge_ Family." Instead it, is bright, witty, with fine per- formances and decent scripts. Although not quite in the class of "M*A*S•H" or ·"Cheers," "Family Ties" is a wonderful show compared to many. Although, at times, "Family Ties" falls into the middle of the ratings heap, let's hope NBC recognizes this little gem - and keeps it around for a while. I say yes to "Family Ties."

Mark said he and a ·group_ of .others started the Mental Health Center because they felt there was a· definite need to provide help to people with drug addictions. · He said he also feels that the teen · drinking problems come· from the family and friends and is amplified by the media and its advertising of alcohol. "We are told that we are a man if we drink because drinkjng has· a macho im- age," he said. Mark pointed out that the best way to prevent teen drinking pro- blems is to provide a better understanding of what alcohol can do to the body when it is misused. · For this reason he said he started A.D.A.P.T., Action Drug Abuse Prevention Training, which is an organization that goes to area - schools to inform -- the students of the possible dangers of alcohol and other drugs. · · Mark noted that it can be dif- ficult to get young people . to believe that the future dangers of alcohol truly exist. "The young future. It is usually when you're 40 and over that you believe that troubles can exist," he said. Sullivan, Kavner and Mark agree that education is the best way to prevent teenage drinking · from becoming a problem. Sullivan pointed out that children of alcoholics need special attention in an alcohol education program. He also said that people should be cautious about getting others to drink. "An appeal had to be made to the young people who create the impression that you need to drink to have a good · time,'' he said. , Schratz questions the effec- tiveness of educating only the young. "I think we have to educate the whole population. We must address the programming that glorifies drinking as a way to solve our problems,'' she said. Schratz said ·that the only way to reduce the teen drinking pro- blems is to change the attitude of society. She said she thinks that the current public emphasis on physical health and the awareness change. According to Schratz, the drinking age should be raised even though it will not completely stop teenagers· from drinking. "If you want to drink you will find a way to do it, but it might deter certai_n groups from drinking un- til they are older, when they can better handle the alcohol," she said. Once a person has a drinking problem, it is difficult to cure, Schratz noted. "Statistics show a success rate of only 30 percent for alcoholics who really beat their problem. The person will cooperate at first, but start drink- ing again after they begin to feel better," she said. Sullivan said there is no short and simple way to cure a drinking problem. "If you ever go to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, you will hear the people say t_hey are recovering alcoholics because it takes an entire lifetime to recover," he said. .. -------------------------• don't believe that there is a . of the problems with drunk driv- ing could bring about the societal · Sullivan stressed that the only way to cure a drinking problem is to stop drinking and never start again .

MCR makes new changes in '84 staff by Cammie Steffich The Advertising Director and Business Manager of WMCR have resigned, causing various changes in the management staff. "I made a large commitment to Campus Ministry and could not fulfill my obligations to WMCR," said Mike Regan, former business inanager of WMCR . No replacements have been found for the two open positions, but General Manager Bob LaForty has appointed sophomore 'Bill Smith as assistant program director. "The job of Program Director is too hard for one person to do properly," LaForty said. After one semester as General Manager, LaForty was planning to resign due to the 9verload of work that was being thrust upon him. "Not many members of the staff were willing to work hard, which left the burden on me," LaForty said. However, after careful consideration he decided to stay on. Program Director Bill Rand said he feels the problem with the management staff is a lack of communication. "I find it very ironic that we're all com- munication majors and no one is communicating." Rand said. Rand also said heis thinking of resigning. "I'll see how things work out and make my decision in about two weeks," he said. . LaForty said he is hoping this semester will turn out better than the last. "I'm looking forward to the return of Paul Palmer and Paul Murnane from their in- ternships.

Freshman Chris Chudzinski led the team with victories in the 200- and S00~yard freestyle event and anchored the winning 400 medley relay. Also winning for Marist were freshmen Fred Dever ( 1,000- yard freestyle), Fabrice Cuadrado (200-yard backstroke), Vinny Olivetto (200-yard butterfly) and sophomore co-captain· Pete Asselin (50-yard freestyle). Chudzinski, Cuadrado and Olivetto have already set school records for their evems this year. Sophomore co-captain Dave Luber extended Marist's streak of dual-meet diving wins to 37. Luber won the three-meter dive with a 162.0 score and took the one-meter dive with a score of 163.8. Men's Swimming Coach Larry Vanwagner · said that he was pleased with the victory, but that there is still a lot of work before the team can achieve its main goal. "We are looking to win the Metropolitan Swimming . Con- ference Championships held February 23, 24 and 25 at Hofstra," he said. Van Wagner said· the team is working hard towards the cham- pionships.

VanWagner said he thinks The City College of New York is the team's main competition for the title. "It's going to be a tough one, but I think we have a chance at beating City College," said Van Wagner.

It's been a montli and a half since fall '83 finals and the departure of most of the campus population. Since then a lot has happened relating to athletics here at Marist - most of it relating to the basketball coaching sit.uation - and more fun and games are on the way. Marist College, regardless of whether you realize it or not, is in the middle of a somewhat major, fairly prominent . nationwide search for a new basketball coach. Now this isn't like trying to find a new director of college activities (you need a flamboyant signature for that "approved by" rubber stamp) or even, for in- stance, a new president. We're talking about a basketball coach here, someone who could wind up on ESPN or something. suppose, or knights on horseback riding into a forest, lamps held aloft, "searching" for the dribbling equivalent of the holy grail.

It's all . very unclear what exactly happened but Tim Grgurich one of Tarkanian's assistants and the former head coach at the University of Pitt- sburgh, has said he is applying for the position. Tarkanian's team, in case you're not familiar with the current AP rankings (and shouldn't we all be), is sixtli in the nation. This seems to indicate that Grgurich is a very strong position for the job, coming from such a visible and successful program._ Assuming Murray's hand- picked candid~te · supports .
