The goal for the Class of 1998 is to collect $1,998. . . . Ralph Fiasco, class of 1998 secretary, said he feels the li- brary is the best place to donate. ''They can definitely use it," he said. ''It's a good enough amount to make a dent in costs and [the amount] $1,998 is sig- nificant also." A room \Vill be designated in the new library dedicated to col- lege alumni.

That is when the amount raised will be officially announced. by DANA COGHALN Special to The Circle U.S. Nelv.~ and Wo,·ld Report has named Marist to be among the best buys in college educa- tion for the past few years. Marist is continuing this tradi- tion by reducing the tuition for summer courses in 1998. The price per credit has been reduced from $352 to $290, an 18 percent decrease from last year. For students taking be- tween one and 11 credit hours, the average three-credit class will cost less than $900. H. Griffin Walling, dean of Graduate and Continuing Edu- cation was instrumental in implementing the cost reduc- tion. He said he felt it \Vould be beneficial to students. ''It'll provide an incentive for students who want to acceler- ate in their degree programs at significantly reduced tuition rate as compared to what would be charged· over the academic year," Walling said. In addition to the fee reduc- tion, stµdents will no longer be required to pay a one-third de- posit to reserve a spot. Instead, . they wi!) 9nly have to pay a $20 fee at the time of registration and pay the· additional costs over time. · ·· · · · · · · · Students se~_med pleased with these ·changes. Roni Brasen ajuniorcommu- nications major, said she is glad about the decision. ''I'm thinking about taking a summer class, but am not sure I'll have the funds to do so," she said. ''Any cut in cost will make it a little easier on me." Some changes in the schedul- ing of summer classes were also made to accommodate the need of students. There \viii now be · two, three-week mini sessions • offered which will run from right after graduation until the end of June.· Students will be able to . . complete two courses by June . . 26, freeing .up the rest of the summer to work. .·. Holly Giammarella, a senior commu'nications major, took_ a. summer class last year, and said the changes are \velcomed. · · ''Last year my classes ran so late into the summer that I had to schedule my job around my classes, which was sometimes difficult," she said. ''At least now, students can have t\VO full months of the summer to get a normal full-time job." Since the Office of graduate and Continuing Education sponsor summer classes, the tuition reduction will be avail- able to current undergraduate - students as \veil as adult edu- ·cation students. - --- - • • • • • • • ' • I • • ' I ' ' I • ' ' • ' • • ' • • ' • • • ' • • • • ' ' • • • ' ' '' ' ' • ' ' j J ' ., r .

Just writing those t,,,o ,vords. and a sense of peace a11d relax- ation begin to flood over me. No school, no· teachers. no papers ... Wait, wait a minute! I always thought that Spring Break 111eant no hon1e,,•ork and no papers, but every year here at Marist, I have been proven ,vrong. This year, over my Spring Break \vhere I get to go hon1e and ,vork because I have no money (I am not bitter, I s,vear), I also have to ,,,rite a IO page paper, read two novels and an analytical film book. Needless to say, this does not sound like a break· tome. . . Granted, I am a senior and I take senior-level classes, but I am con1pletely burnt out. I need Spring Break. I need to not have any responsibility, or I fear that I might have - a nervous breakdown and pull out a shotgun and shoot all my·teachers. I mean, what do these teachers think when they assign a· 10 page paper for the Tuesday after spring Break? I can bet that none of them wilfbe doing anything that has to do with classes over their break. Will they have all of our midte11ns graded the day we get back from break? I wonder... . . ' I cannot remember a break where I have not had any work to do, except winter break. Over the past summer I interned, so I did not get a break then; either. Now, I do not want this to sound like a whiney column, but I wish there had been one break where I did not have to ,vorry about ,vriting a paper, or reading a novel, or studying for a test. _ Teachers wonder why students do not get every single assignment done, could _it be because we actually might have a life outside school, and might not want to work on their assignments ALL the time? I think this is a valid point. I know we are here to learn as much as possible, but I also think we need a break from that wonderful education process every once and a while. Spring Break is supposed to be that release (picture MTV down in Cancun). It is meant to be a time when all of the stress at school is not supposed to be knocking around in our heads. I know there is no saving my Spring Break, it is destined to be horrible because for the first time I am not going away (I said I was not bitter!) and I have homework. I cannot even be miserable because I am stuck in Westchester County instead of on a beach somewhere. I get io do homework, as well! Anyway, I hope everyone has a great Spring Break, and as you sit on the beach, sipping a tropical drink, remember not to spill any on your laptop! · Stephanie Mercurio is the Editor-in-Chief for Tlze Circle Quote of the Week: • , • • • , , ' • • Stephanie Mercurio . · Editor-i11-cl1ief B'enAgoes Nelvs Editor · ThomasRyan Sports Editor Christopher Thorne Foct(S Editor • Joe Scotto _ Chris Hogan G.

I begin by saying that.I can't speak to your particular experiences in the classes that met to your dissatisfaction.

I know, it is very difficult to find fault with a holiday based on Jesus Christ's birthday, but I am not giving you my views, but -rather tl1e views I feel most • people have come to associate with Christmi1s. Christmas is, sadly, about giving presents. And I think that at this stage in life, the presents are not going to get much better. When we were young Christmas was the . best thing in the world: toys· scattered all over the roon1, wrapping paper in mountain sized balls in the corners, the smell ofMo,n making glazed cin- namon rolls in the kitchen. But now I am about to be inducted . into the family Secret Santa which means you _receive one ' present. Let me repeat that, one present. Despite the great food and the one present, Christmas (or any ot· the other mentioned holidays) cannot compare to St. Patrick's Day because of one all- - important aspect: personality. St. Patrick's Day represents many different things: Saint Patrick, leprecfi~uns, green beer, -parades, green rivers, four- leafed clovers, green liquor, pots of gold, green tongues and • • • rec auns beautiful green wome11 (Well, i1t least that is what you will prob- ably think you see.). But the reason St. Patrick's Day is the best holiday is because the par- ties that go on during the ·day · and night e1nanate a certain per- sonality. This personality C!ln be most simply described as the Irisl1 persona. Everyone is the happy village drunk t·or a _day. Whether the person is so drunk they ca11 barely utter ''un ore ound, cleeze'' or whetl1er the person is just casually drinking, they have the same attitude to- wards life. This attitude is that for one day, one short twenty- four hour period. we are all Irish. We are all happy. And usually we are all drunk. But even without the booze (orat least with a little less ofit) the companionship displayed between men and women ot· all different backgrounds is with- out comparison. There may be ten thousand twelve-yei1r-old kids drinking forties on the side of the New York City parade, but at least they are not fighting.

If all students were· guarari- . teed a formal explanation of the structure and function of the Core/LS Program, their appre- ciation of a liberal arts experi- ence would'be greatly en- hanced. I do believe, however, that we should go one step further. I hear from students that the Core · needs to be made more relevant to their lives. They want to -know how these required courses and related experiences are beneficial to them right now and will be in the future. As faculty, we claim that a lib- eral arts education can help im- prove the quality of life for all those who are open to its po- tential. Students,are asking for evidence, or at least examples, how this is true. How do philosophy, literature, history, science, fine arts, math, religion, etc. (especially as they are integrated in the Marist Core) help students to think more logically, reason critically, problem solve better, relate meaningfully to others, refine their sensors, achieve their goals, increase their happiness, ''follow their bliss," improve their financial status, enhance their self-esteem, etc.? -- - These seem to be reasonable questions, and answering them explicitly would go a long way _ toward making the liberal arts come alive. Therefore, in response to stu- dents' concerns, that each course in the Core address the issue of relevance in a straight forward manner. · A discussion on how the course can improve the quality of life for students today, as well as tomorrow, would help them see ''what's in it for me," and thereby be motivated to engage the liberal arts with fervor. I know it can be argued that making learning objectives so concrete and explicit can take the romance out of the liberal arts, and thereby trivialize them. But sincerely doubt that this will be the perception of most stu- dents. On the other hand, a little less mystery when it comes to the value of a liberal arts educa- tion may provide students \vith a little more incentive to regis- ter for liberal arts courses. I would welcome reactions to these observations and propos- als from anyone, but especially from students. Please \Vrite me (psychology department.

This movie was particularly interesting because there was actually no volcano. Generally when one titles a movie Volca,10, the audience might ex- pect something like, say, a vol- cano. But no, in one of Hollywood's particularly creative moments, they decided to make the lava ooze· out of the ground and somehow manage to kill lots of people. Between Jones and Ellen's girlfriend they save tl1e day, but Los Angeles (that is right, it is set i11 L.A.) will never be the same. This was the second runner-up in the worst Pay-Per View movie of the year. Getting back to the idea of sequels, one movie which . was not supposed to be a sequel seemed an awful lot like one. This, of course, was the movie Co,z Ai,; with Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, John Malcovich, Ying Rhames, and the guy who played Bubba in Forest G11111p who no longer looks anything like Bubba. With a cast like this you would think that the movie could be at least somewhat entertaining. But let me first explain that this is not · a sequel in te1 ins of plot but a sequel in terms of stupidity. The premise behind this movie is that a decorated-ranger (Cage) is thrown in jail for defending him- self and his wife outside of a bar. As the Parliamentarian for Student Government, Colleen McCulloch has many responsibilities. Her ain job is to uphold methods of procedure in meetings. She advises Student Body President Frank . aduri on issues concerning constitutionality and procedure. McCulloch is also responsible for ducating all Student Government members on procedure methods. . ''Procedure is only to make sure all meetings run smoothly. Cooperation efinitely makes the meetings go by much faster," said McCulloch. . From her work with Student Government, McCulloch has learned to never give p on things. . ''If an idea does not work one way, try it again. You have to be willing to ork with everyone and be willing to compromise," s~id McCulloch. McCulloch said that her most memorable moment from Student Government was ummer Session. During Summer Session, the Maduri Administration met to discuss ssues for the coming academic year. · ''That weekend was amazing. We were able to fo1111 relationships that have lasted through the ear," said McCulloch. . . McCulloch was recently elected the new Student Body President for the 1998-1999 academic year. he wants her administration to be very productive. ''I want to lead Student Government into exploring new options. I also want to promote more SGA ctivities for the students," said McCulloch. · After graduation, McCulloch would like to work in Political· Communica_tions. She would like to pecialize in doing Public Relations for a Senator. McCulloch's favorite aspect of Marist College is her friends. ''l have very supportive friends," said McCulloch. In addition to her duties in Student Government, McCulloch is involved in other ctivities both on campus and off. She is the manager for the Women's Swim Team, elps out at the Marist Institute for Public Opinion (MIPO) and. McCulloch also enjoys kiing, collecting anything Disney, and driving in her VW Rabbit. McCulloch is also oing to Georgia with close friends this Spring Break. After serving somewhere be- tween seven a11d ten years Cage is set to fly home on a plane. The only problem (aside fro111 the movie) is that this plane is filled with the worst criminals in the world and they take over tl1e . plane and all hack breaks loose. (Get it, hack, poor one-liners) The winner of the worst movie of the year goes to A11ac.·<111d(1, starring ... oh well, who cares who it starred, it was terrible. There was a huge, huge, snake, not tl1at these snakes do not exist, but the famed special effects tl1at were supposed to make this movie so great were exactly what made it so bad. At one point the snake whips down a waterfall ,ind catcl1es ,1 f,1lling man in bet\veen its teeth and bites him in l1alf. . The movie was so bad I have ru11 out 01·1egiti111ate adjectives to de- scribe it. The moral ot· this article is to watch out what you buy. You might think C<111tac.·t is supposed to be the best movie of the year but in the words of Mr. Garrison: ''I waited through that v.•hole movie to see a11 alien and it was her God-d***ed father."

This week, SGA is proud to present Phi Kappa Sign1a as the ne" fraternity on campus. Student Body President, Frank Maduri called · joint meeting last Thursday to meet with the Fraternity. Their charte was passed and their BI-laws were accepted . Tl1ere was a unanimous vote from the E-Board and the Senate had onl) two votes against . ''We are very happy to have a fraternity involved with Marist. Wear hoping this will revitalize Greek life (especially male) on campus," sai Maduri. Maduri also went on to explain the SGA stance on clubs, ''If you work hard enough for your charter, you will get it," said Maduri S.GA also passed the MADJET Disciplinary Doctrine for Club Affairs This will be the guideline for club sanctioning. co-authored by Christo pher Jette, VP for Club Affairs and Maduri. ''We think this document is easier to understand than the Matrix form - It's more thorough," said Maduri. . Another major accomplishment has been the rewriting and passing o the new Student Government Constitution. Senator Charles Leone, wh was helped by Senate Speaker Kevin Lundy and Mark Urciolo, tackle this huge undertaking. The new Constitution passed unanimous in bot the Executive Board and the Senate. ''This was a big accomplishment that is going to help us function bette so we can serve the students better," said Maduri. . This project took five months and a number of Bills for Senator Leon and his committee to complete. _ ''When I started working on the Constitution there were many craters Xt's not a perfect document, but right now, it's as close to perfect as it'. ever been," said L\!one. Since the Constitution has been finished, Leone reflects on the har work he and his committee have accomplished. ''We fought through a lot of opposition and through our \vork we gavethe a document that passed unanimously in both boards. So far it has seen n opposition from the Judicial Board. I guess my committee did O.K.," sai Leone. Best of luck to everyone on Midtenns and have a great Spring Break!

Believe it or not, the Marist programs are doing - more than just holding their own. The MAAC has a nifty little ratings system that hands out points to schools based on their final standings in a par- ticular sport. For example, if there are IO teams in a sport and Marist comes in first, they get 10 points. The team in second would get nine points and so on, with the team in last getting · one point. This happens in e,,_ ery sport, and then the MAAC takes the cumulati,,e points to fonn the Commissioner's Cup Standings. No extra points for the size of the sport or attention it re- -ceives. Making it to the NCAA College Basketball Touman1ent _ is worth the same amount ot· points as winning the MAAC · Golf Championship. One problem with the system · is that not all the schools have all the sports, such as Marist and golf, so the school gets no · points for that specific sport. . . • • ' .

So in addition to hav- ing played them twice this year, the Foxes knew them very well from years past. But, this famil- iarity with the opponent did little to effect the outcome, as Marist fell 75-56, thus bringing an end to a 5-22 season. In what has been a recurring theme all season long, Marist dug themselves. a hole right -away. Five Red Fox turnovers in the first four minutes led to a 15-4 Bronc advantage. Patrika Smith· took control· for Rider early, as she contributed eight . of those IS.points. · ·.
