Ideas -Continued from page 1 pave the way for Marist to in- crease its total student population (including undergraduate, graduate, ·and part~time students) by 4,500 in the next five years. Tarantino said that commuters would make up most of this in- crease. Academic Vice President An- drew Molloy said he expects the student body to grow-"modestly" in the next five years. He estimated that the college can ac- commodate up to 100 more graduate and undergraduate. students each year because of the facilities at Western. Molloy also noted that Marist has the option of withdrawing from Western, if the completion of the Lowell Thomas Com- munication Arts Center, slated to open in fall, 1985, "meets our needs."

The information systems specialist, when hired, will be responsible for the training and educational services that the center will offer, and specifically assisting anyone who uses the computer, Denney said. He said that he didn't feel the salary problem would hurt Marist's opportunities for talented applicants because of the unique experience that an educa- tional institution offers . "A staff member of the Center deals with something new all the time, and that's the experience _ you can't get at most places," he said. New times explained by Terry Abad The installation of new time slot schedules, to begin in the fall '84 semester, has drawn both praise and criticism from the Marist community. According to Elizabeth Ross, registrar, the change in -time slot schedules was made to allo\v for more time between classes because of the greater geographical distance of Western Publishing and the proposed Lowell Thomas Communication Arts Center. "We knew it was im- minent," said Ross. There will now be a 15-minute break between classes. Pete Scully. . .

"Students can't take this occa- sion as an excuse to miss classes, be publicly intoxieated or damage property," Cox said. "We (the administration) do not en- courage, sanction or support it (River Day).'·' According to Cox, River Day has become "a mob situation where nobody takes responsibili- ty." He said that originally, with a smaller student body, there were not as many problems. Cox said: "People have lost sight of how the institution has changed since the early days. Originally there weren't as many events where the students could get together, but now we have spr- ing weekend, Mayfest and other activities. River Day was original- ly a time for students to come together and celebrate the joy of spring." Cox expressed concern about the number of students who arc injured as a result of too much drinking. Some students required treatment at St. Francis Hospital last year, where Cox said that the hospital staff "felt like it w.as in a battle zone." Some of the 'injured, according to Cox, had so much alcohol in their blood that they could not be treated for their other injuries. With the drinking age now up to 19; there is now a question as 10 who is accountable for serving beer to minors. As of March 23 · there were 363 resident students who were under age, according lO Cox. . "There was a court decision," · Cox said, "where they determin- ed that the people in charge of dispensing the alcohol are liable." The traditional organizers of River Day are members of the senior class. But when it comes doivn to identifying individuals, Cox said, "Nobody is mature enough to admit to organizing." Barbara LaDukc, vice presi- dent of the·senior class, said that the main responsibility of the organizers is to make sure that nobody brings bats into the dorms. "Our major concern is that a couple of people will ruin it for everybody," she said. Securi_ty Supervisor Paul Bet- tini said it is security's job to make sure nothing happens to students or the campus. "We pro- tect the students and the proper- ty," Betti,i said. Cox said that seniors used to line the embankment by the railroad tracks to prevent people from going near the tracks. Now the seniors use the embankment as a pedestal to put themselves above the underclassmen. "It's the worst dav of the year," Cox said, ·"There's nothing to enjoy about it. You sec too many people that you really respect at their worst." · _I I · .. , I :1 I .1 I >. r .

On Sunday night, the Class of '85 won the "Class of the Year'.' award at the CSL awards dinner. Since freshman year, the Class of '85 has been under the leadership of Roger Romano, the current class presi- dent. Roger lost this year's election to James Murphy by a mere 10 votes. The sad thing about the elections, however, is not · necessarily that Romano lost What Is disturbing is that 98 out of 486 juniors ac- tually voted in the elections - that's only 20 percent of the class. Why did this happen? Apathy among the upperclassmen may have something to do with the poor voter turnout, since the other class elections - had many more voters in their elections. But if you ask juniors about the elections, 254 of whom live off campus, you'll find that many didn't know about the elections at all - not that they didn't care. . In fact, over one hundred juniors,more than the amount that .actually voted in the elec- tions, signed a petition that supports Romano's request for re-elections. Thus the problem is not necessarily a lack of interest on the part of the senior class, but a lack of proper election procedures. · __ The designated-days set aside for class elections were April 4 and 5. However, it was not clear what times the elections were ac- tually to be held. The polls were open from 9 a.m. until noon last Thursday in Donnelly Hall, but since the free slot starts at 11 a.m., this left only two hours for students to vote while Thursday's classes were in session. Meanwhile, the polls were only open in Don- nelly a few· hours the day before. Although - elections were going on in the campus center Thursday evening from 4 p.m.-until 7 p.m., chances are, most juniors, especially those who do not eat in the cafeteria, had no reason to be in the campus center at that hour. And if they didn't have a class in Don- nelly Hall during the short amount of time that the polls were open there, they were out of luck also. Ws no wonder that the underclassmen, who practically walked into the polls on thei_r way to dl,nner that night, had a better turnout for their elections. · Voting In any type of governmental elec- tions should be for everyone - not 9nly those who frequent the campus center each _ day. Granted, i_t's up to the candidates to campaign_ and to tell the voters when to. vote, and it's up to the voters themselves to exercise that right by finding out when and where elections will be held. But these things are a _little difficult to do when the candidates themselves weren't even inform- ed of election times. What it comes down to is this: the Council of Student Leaders, which is in charge of running class elec- tions, did not do a thorough job of organiz- ing voting hours. _ The blame cannot be_ placed on one per- · son. The CSL did what it does each year at election time - it appointed a person to serve as election commissioner to organize · elections and to form' an election commit- tee. This year this person was a freshman. It was up to CSL to determine whether or not this person's lack of experience would in- .. terfere with the elections .process, but in- . stead the group "passed '.the buck" - it · handed the Job over to her: In other_ words, - , CSL did. not·push hard enough to see that -- - elections were conducted properly. For ex- ample, the standard procedure of showing 1.0.s when voting was not implemented at these elections_, norwas it enforced at the CSL elections a few weeks ago. A person · who ran unopposed for office for the class of '85 did not have the requred petition com- plete before elections took place. Another, - who also ran unopposed but had a petition completed ahead of time found that his --- name did not ever appear on the .b~Hot. It seems that rules governing such elections should be more carefully adhered to by the CSL if it is in charge of election~. · · There is a little saying that applies here - it can be used in reference to election pro- cedures as well as anything else that goes on at Marist College: If you are not going to _ do something right, don't do it at ~II.· .Roses Everything seemed to becoming up roses for Maristfor the last few weeks. This small, practically unheard of.liberal arts college on the banks of the Hudson River has recently been featured in newscasts three times in one week. The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion seemed to have brought fame to our front door. What a surprise and shock to our parents and friends watching Good Morning . America, while eating their breakfast, to get a glimpse of Marist and the Institute on na- tional television. · _ And the ultimate prediction was correct. - · Walter Mondale was victorious in the New York primary· last week. How good for Marist, especially after all that publicity. But among all those roses there lies one thorn - The New York Times. In an editorial appearing on the day of the primary, The Editor The Associate Editors - Sports Editor Circle Senior Reporters Times condemns the lnstitute's use of decimal points in It's findings. TheJr_gripe is that the decimal paints a picture of ac- curacy which just isn't there. Its use, they say, is for credibility and add that it is not meaningful. · What is meaningful? To round off each digit to the nearest ten - thus making the _ margin of error even greater than already possible? If the numbers are there, down to one decimal place, why not use them? There's nothing wrong with putting the cards on the table for all to see. The lnstitute's job is not to make predictions off the top ofit's head and pick a winner. Rather, it reports what the people say. Why not inake it as exact-as possible? · · The Times did however say that it wasn't a bad poll. Of course it's not - its record speaks for itself.

Coming Soon OUTDOOR PATIO Column One by John Bakke Maybe I'm being selfish, but I · just can't see why WMCR gets to be censored and nobody else does. I read last week in The ·circle where MCR will be taken off the Marist Information Network if a media center official hears an obscenity on the air again. It seems the station played part of Eddie Murphy's album, and one of these officials heard a naughty word. These media center · officials must be pretty sensitive guys. It's not hard to imagine them, sitting around watching the MIN for an hour or so (which is how I spend my free time) when suddenly the offending string of vowels and consonants spills into the room. "Oh, my! Stanley," says Priscilla, looking shocked. "Wasn't that the ... the 'S-word?'" Stanley peers over his bifocals, his mouth ajar. "I'm afraid so, Priscilla. Those boys at MCR always seemed so nice ... " "Well, we can't have any more of that, can we?" she asks. "No," he answers. "It's settled_ then," she says. "Thank goodness it wasn't the 'F-word.' I'd hate to think what campus - morals would come to then.'• by Lou Ann Seelig _and Patti Walsh -t We ripped the alligators off our shirts, locked the Nikes in the closet, ditched the backpacks and . carried our books. We started carrying loaves of French bread, wearing berets (too bad no one told us they went out of style 20 years ago!) and spending three hours over lunch ·in a cafe. After all this effort why do they still. know we're American even before we open our mouths? Why; for that matter, can ·we now pick out the Americans at 50 paces? For the French it's easy; from observing the tourists, watching Dallas and seeing American movies, they have very definite ideas of what is "typically American" (Of course, we mean United Statesian since our Cana- dian friends brought up the point that Mexicans, · Canadians and South Americans believe-they also have the right to call themselves "Americans.") Mr. and Mrs. Joe April 12, 1984- THE CIRCLE· Page 7 Offensive So anyway, now MCR has a contract banning vulgarities, obscenities and so on from the broadcast. Not only will the sta- tion not be allowed on the Infor- mation Network, if a stray swear gets through, but the disc jockey will lose his show. Naturally, I sleep easier know- ing someone's making sure the freshmen aren't corrupted by these· unwholesome influences. But I still can't stand the fact that MCR's the only one who gets to be censored. Hell, I could be tasteless too. I just didn't think anyone would notice. But nobody brings me a con- tract to sign, and I'll bet nobody would even if I printed the text of the whole Eddie Murphy album. It can get pretty lonely not being censored, you know. Pretty bor- ing, too - The Circle has not been censored as long as I can remember, and it sure gets monotonous around here. A little heavy-handed suppression is what we need, and right away. Not that I want someone stan- ding behind me as I write, of course. I'd opt for what MCR calls the "self-censorship" plan, whereby you're only under threat of being banished from the Marist Kingdom. Run out of town, or something. Not being as bright as the guys who negotiated that contract of MCR's though, I'd probably need some sure guidelines stating ex- actly what I could and could not write. It would include specific words (the F- and S-words, for in- stance, as well as the WXYZ- words) and all those subjects I could not even write about. Once The Circle was being monitored, the Mosaic and the Reynard probably would want to be also, but I'm not so sure I like that idea. They only come out once a year, so I say let them suf- fer. Let them earn their censor- ship. I know, I know, that isn't fair, but I don't think they should be able to come in at the last minute and get some of my censorship. If the censorship committee (which . would be formed) is spending all its time looking at the Mosaic, when are they going to get around to raiding the Circle office? The trend started, a~ represented by MCR's contract, is admirable. In fact, I've become so committed to good taste on campus that l 'm thinking serious- ly of forming a Let's-rip-out-the- metal-sculptures committee. Now there's some improve- ment,· Americans Average American and their 2.4 children are overweight and undercultured. They drink Coca- -Coia, drive ·a big car and ·chew gum: they carry big expensive cameras and try to see all of Europe in three weeks. They spend lots on American dollars and, although this is nottheir first trip out of Teaneck, N.J., are convinced that everything · they have at home is the biggest and best in the whole world. They see themselves as the "true blue" good guys out to save the world from the "big red" bad guys. And, although their _luggage has been shipped to Singapore and their credit cards have been stolen, they're still smiling and having a very good time. Maybe from this definition we aren't "typical," but .there's something about us that says "Made in U.S.A." Whatever it is, it's the same thing that enables us to pick out Americans from all the other foreigners in Paris. The French image of the Americans is a bit exaggerated. We've found that Americans dress neat\y but aren't "chic," and that the French .. just don't _ <lppreciate "preppy." Observations are easy to make, but, unlike the French, we can go further and recognize American attitudes. Yes, Americans are generally happy and smile a lot, but we also possess a certain naivete which results from living a sheltered life within the borders of a big coun- try. American faces have a mixed- breed appearance because we . don't have the century-long lineage of one nationality. We are consumers and we waste without realizing it,. because ·we figure there will always be more where it came from. We're in Paris learning French grammar, French literature and culture, which we expected. We're also discovering the difference between how other people see Americans and how we see ourselves. The writers are studying in Paris as part of Marist Abroad. Letters-------------- Continued from page 4 missile.

Sincerely, Kevin Reilly Thanks · To the Editor: We, the officers-elect of the class of 1986, would like to thank all of the members of the class of 86 that voted in last weeks elec- tion. We would have hoped to have more people turn out to vote, but we do understand the problems with. the election pro- cess. To Chuck, Mary, Chris, and Sharon, we all wish there were a , way for everyone to win; it would make life much easier. · Even though_you are not officers of the class we do hope that you will still be able to DANCE with us. Thanks for the support. Thank you all, Mike Mueller, President Lenny Cheatham, Vice President Dan Biglin, Treasurer Dina Marie Chiappa, Secretary Socialism To the Editor: Speaking about conservatives and liberals, it is pertinent to remember that on Sept. 30, 1936 then President Fran_klin D. Roosevelt called himself a "true conservative" who was. seeking "to protect the system of private property and free enterprise." "In the words of the great essayist" he added: "The voice of great events is proclaiming to us: Reform if you would preserve. I am that kind of a conservative because I am that kind of a liberal." As the liberals and con- servatives both_ aim to keep capitalism in the saddle and as Roosevelt's liberalism and refor- mism identified by him with con- servatism did help to save the capitalist system, it is not far- fetched to assume that were he alive today, he woulcl be comfor- table with both the conservatives and liberals. As a Socialist, I maintain that · capitalism cannot be kept going forever and that barring an atomic war, a drastic change for the better has to take place, and that means Socialism as proposed by Daniel DeLeon Thank You Nathan Pressman 12 Catherine St. Ellenville, N.

I , I -------------------------------------April 12, 1984 · THE CIRCLE· Pages--• N~w office.Ts, elected for '84- '85 ~~~::~a~~ by Douglas Dutton , Class of '86 ·. The · need fo~ greater ·class · unity and more student input • c;:oncerning. school event-planning are two subjects next year's juniors must address,_ according to Mike Mueller, president-elect · for the Class of 1986. · In an interview after the class elections last Friday, Mueller _said that he plans to establish three publications to meet these · needs, a directory of riext year's juniors and a newspaper titled . Just for Juniors, dealing specifically with junior affairs. · "This year's sophomores are·not going to.have the comfort of only living in one or.two dorms next year. I think i_t's important that everyone knows where each other lives and what they're . doing special," the communication arts major from Kings Park, N.Y ., said in reference to the publications. "Unity is more than a melding of self-interests; it results when .values and ideas are 'shared. I want that to happen." The directory would contain the names of all of next year's · juniors,· their school addresses and their home addresses, while the questionnaire would ask - for specific ideas for mixers and other events. . . . . _· "Instead of just complaining among themselves, this will give ._ students a chance to have-some input;" Mueller said about the questionnaires._ "I know getting things done might be tough with the administration, but if enough people get motivated I think we · could get the administration's support."-·. ••, . . ·· · According to Mueller the third publication; «Just for -· Juniors;''- would be broken down into five sections: one dealing with academic matters such as internships currently held by and available to juniors,· one for. sports featuring juniors' - specific achievments, letters from juniors studying abroad, a commuter section and classifieds. . . . . ."How many people know that Pete Pazik - a junior - came .in twelfth iit New York St~te for cross-country? Before we can recognize a team's accomplishments; the class must recognize its . own members," Mueller said in reference to the publication. · Mueller's familiarity with cross-country comes from ex- ,perience; he is a member of Marist's team. He also is on the track team and served on the planning committee for freshman orientation this year. · Mueller won the presidency with 93 votes, followed by Charles Fillizola with 67 and Mary Clifford with 42. Lenny Cheatham, with 77 votes, won a narrow victory in the race for vice-president over Christopher Desautelle and Sharon Taplin, who received 65 · and 60 votes respectively. Running unopposed, Daniel Biglin became the next junior class,treasurer and Dina Marie Chiappa· - the next secretary. . "I'm really looking forward to working with the other winners . :_ especially Lenny. He's enthusiastic about the job and has a unique spirit about him," Mueller said. He added that he felt . Biglin and Chiappa "wouldn't have run,1,mless they wanted the -jobandwantedtowork;" ------·----:-,----' •·- ,~ · ·· .. - . · Mueller was·far less enthusiastic about the election procedures ·· .. this year. He blamed what he called low voter turn-out, especially for this year's juniors, on what he said were inadequate voting hours and locations. · "I couldn't believe there was no voting all afternoon in Champagnat and only one section in Donnelly," Mueller said. "The voting should have been in at least three central spots on campus, like the cafeteria. I really feel that's why alot of people didn't turn out." · Mueller added that he thinks he would support the petition started by some current juniors which is aimed at forcing·a new election for the Class of 1985. Only 98 current juniors cast a vote in the presidential category. "I think it_'s only fair," Mueller said. Class of '87 by Marie Esperancilla With a total of 117 votes Sue Ryan won the · class of '87 Presidential elections held April 4-5. Ryan, who is currently class treasurer, believes that the biggest problem facing the class of '87 at this point in time is the lack of unity. "Each dorm is it's own little entity," she said. "We're not together as a group, but we have potential once we are." - Ryan also believes that the officers for the Freshman class this year were not united. "It's hard enough when you're no_t united; how are you suppose to motivate a whole class to be united. But that was nobody's fault. It was because we were Freshman of- ficers. We didn't know what to do. As class officer this year, I .. can see the experience; now I know how to go through the · bureaucratic process ·of Marist and get through everything," she said. With a better understanding of the Marist system, Ryan has high hopes and plans for next·year, including bus trips to But- terfield's, mixers and a formal. "We're going to try to do little things that will get the class together." she said . Ryan is looking forward to having most of next year's sophomore class residing in Champagnat. "A lot of people are excited for it," she said. "Once we're all in Champagnat, it's going to be a lot of fun; we're all looking forward to that." Another reason Ryan believes causes the lack of uni!y is inadequate notification to the students concerning ev.ents. Concerning the elections, Ryan believes that there was a good amount of votes from the Freshman class. "We had over 250 people vote, where as the Senior class only had 90 people vote." The problem, however, was with the CSL elections the week before, according to Ryan. "We, the candidates, never knew when our elections were." Ryan also believes that the change of hours caused such a low turn-out. "There wasn't enough in- formation given about it." However, Ryan doesn't blame · anyone.

Times--- Continued from page 3 with the adult education students, according to Julianne Maher, dean. "We have been receiving a number of letters about the elimination of the 5 p.m. slot, the reaction in them being both distressed and disappointed," said Ross. · This slot has become important for adult education students because they can take two classes in one evening, according to Maher. "We were not aware of the number of students that had built their programs around this schedule," said Maher. "Prior to this year they had not been clamoring for ic (the 5 p.m. slot) but now chis scheduling has become important to them.'' Marist College's Fishkill Exten- sion in the Dutchess Mall will continue to hold two classes back to back in the evening, from 5- 7 :30 p.m. and 7:30-10 p.m. Maher has been suggesting to these students that they take classs at the Fishkill extension, where the classes can fit into their schedules. "Th_e response to the Fishkill time schedules was not overly enthusiastic, but the pro- gram just started in January so we really don't know the outcome yet," said Maher.

Perry Continued fro_m page 12 while:-•· · Sweden ·finished a very respectable seventh out of twelve teams in the 1980 Olympics. Perry then went on to West Germany, where he was head of a youth training program for a year before being hired to coach Stade Francais-Paris, one of France's top professional teams. · · After completing two successful seasons in Paris, Perry was on his way to Poughkeepsie. . With the arrival of the former European mentor, there are likely to come some major changes in the Marist basketball program. One of these changes, if Perry has his way, will be seen in the McCann Center. As the program strives to get bigger; he explained, so must the facility. "We would draw 2,500 fans at Ulster, and that's in Stone Ridge. Did you ever hear of Stone ·Ridge?" Perry asked facetiously. "If we are going to be a legitimate Division One team this gym won't be sufficient. We should get to about 6,000 seats. I won't be here in · three years unless something is done.'• · As Perry begins his effort to better the basketball program, some Red Fox followers have expressed concern that the new coach might use his contacts overseas to turn the team into an international ballclub. But this is something Perry claims the Marist faithful shouldn't worry about. · "I don't intend to make this an international team," he said. "The maximum we'll have is three European kids next year. Until I get on equal footing with other schools in terms of recruiting, I have to meet my immediate needs:_ that's to win right away. Besides, the European kids might stay just• one or two years, then their scholar- ships would be open." · Whether or not there is an influx of European players on campus next year, the Poughkeepsie area can be sure of one thing! The Red Foxes will be on the run during the !984-85 ·season, and every season after that with Perry at the helm. "I want an up-tempo game," he said. "I want to develop the run- ning game, but to also have control and discipline on the floor. Peo- ple say 'run and gun,' but I don't like the word 'gun.' We're definitely going to play defense, and if a kid doesn't play defense he won't play. Intelligence will be a key to our success." While Perry plans to run, he also plans to win - and win big. "It would be ridiculous to say we're shooting for the Big East right away,'' the coach said. "But within three to Jive years, I have visions of us being a bit better than Iona and St. Peter's.'' · If Perry wins as plans, will he move on to bigger and better things as coaches who have turned struggled programs around have done before? "No, no way;" Perry said. "I've come back here to settle in. I made that clear to the search committee. I'd like to stay here for ten years.'' And while his stated goals seem to put pressure on himself to pro- duce right away, Mike Perry's concluding statement showed his en- thusiasn1 for the upcoming college.

A short walk from Marlst) April 12, 1984 · THE CIRCLE· Page _11--• Thursday Morning Quarterback John Bakke S~elling the roses Steve Lurie is not a man to complain. As he sees things, he has no real reason to. The first-year Marist track coach is working in an athletic program dominated by basketball, running a program without an outdoor track or scholarships. To hear him talk about it, you'd think he's in an almost ideal position. Some feel track is neglected, and Lur.ie confirms the per- ception, though not the reality. "I inherited a difficult spot," he says. "I inherited a group that didn't feel there was a great deal of support for them." And his feelings? "I've had a lot of help this year and in general have had a feeling of support.· I got everything I wanted that was within reason, and what wasn't within reason I tried not to ask for.'' Part of what is perceived as the track program's second-class status is the lack of a track. True, there is an indoor track, but indoor track just isn't quite the same. The team, which will compete on each of the next five weekends, currently practices two or three times a week on the Poughkeepsie High School track. "No track is no real problem," says Lurie. He mentions the possibility of a - track being put in north of the townhouses, but says that he doesn't expect one, realistically. "It has not gone unnoticed that a track would not hurt us, but I'd be surprised - happily surprised - if they put one in." Track or no, Lurie is one that takes what he gets and tries to use it to the fullest. He . has no scholarships to lure the best runners to Marist, yet he says he enjoys recruiting and that this year's efforts have been suc- cessful. "We could have as many as seven freshmen that would have an impact on the cross country program. "Recruiting .can be done, but you have to enjoy it and want to do it. Though it's frustrating not to have scholarships, I think it's good in the long run not to." What? Prefers not to have them? Lurie sees Marist as offering people in the "lesser" sports - or in his track and cross country programs, at least - a certain kind of atmosphere, a certain kind of relaxed, enjoyable while at the same time competitive, college experience. Scholarships would spoil that, he says, though they might make his job easier. He talks seriously about his track team being next year's intramural basketball champions, noting that he would have for- bidden that on his former, scholarship-endowed teams for fear of mJunes. "But why shouldn't they be able to have a good time while they're here, to stop and smell the roses while they're going through?" He praises this year's team in pulling together, becoming more of a team, says they've come far mentally but have more to do physically. He speaks of a three- step plan to improve his program: first, to be comparable with Siena; then, with national Division Three cross county champion Brandeis; finally - down the road a bit - with Bucknell. And he'd just as soon do it without scholarships, if possible. Lurie sees the basketball program as being good for all sports, in the long run, rather than just pushing the smaller sports aside. He is, in con- versation, not one to complain. Personally, 1 think track is boring. Almost as boring as cross country. But many people don't, and many people enjoy running in a great, big, circle, or even - God know's why · - watching others do it. Not being one of them, I know little about the sport and about what makes a good coach in terms of ·training methods and so forth. Nonetheless, I think Lurie will be good here at Marist. Whether his teams will win or not remains to be seen, but he apparently can accept living in the shadow of the basketball program and even enjoy it. Not everyone can. That's why Lurie should be hired to a full time position next year, as is being considered. (It's not a full-time track coaching position; it would involve other duties at Mccann.) Preventing friction in the athletic department just may mean keeping all the Steve Luries Marist can find.

Pet.ro proposing computers for Mccann· Center Use by Michael R. Murphy The McCann Center may soon · be furnished with a computer system used for administrative and other purposes, according to . Ron Petro, Marist athletic direc- tor. Set as one of his goals for this year, Petro said he hopes to outfit the McCann Center with com- puter equipment from IBM's $2.5 million grant. Petro's proposal still has to be reviewed by several ad- ministrative branches, including the Departmeni of Natural Sciences and the dean of student affairs, Gerard Cox. Petro said the computers would be used by secretaries for word processing and the coaching staff for storage of vital information. "We could use it for purposes ranging from recruiting purposes to storing data on each individual athlete's history. Its uses are unlimited," said Petro. Petro stressed that it would aid recruiting for the athletic teams. •'With all of the paperwork in- volved with recruiting a computer system would cut down on a _lot of the paper work immensely," said Petro. Currently, there is no direct link between the McCann Center and the main terminal for a possi- ble hookup, but Petro said that problem is. being researched. He also said that several of Mc- Cann's administrative staff have been trained in word processing and the use of the computer. Petro said the computer could be used for academic purposes in such classes as Physiology of Health and also ·ror improving athletes' performances. "There is such a wide variety of uses for a computer," said Petro. "First, I would just like to get it in Mc- Cann and we will work from there.'' .. ~,-.-·: ~ .
