Donna Berger, executive assis- tant to the academic vice president and commencement committee chairperson, said • she will incor- • porate the letters she received from students and faculty who were disturbed with student behavior during the May 21 ceremony at James J. Mccann Recreation Center. A report·wm be submitted to President Dennis Murray's Cabinet. . • Students and facftlty interttiew- ed recently ~d corks were popped and· champagne was sprayed. on people during the ceremony. • "I was surprised' and dissap~ pointed," President Murray said. "We're going to take steps this year to make sure that will not.happen again, even if it means stopping Commencement and seeing that they are thrown·out." Berger said it was difficult ~o organize the graduates before the ceremony. The-students were not seated on the platform in the planned alphabetical order. "The students were not involv- ed in the planning as much as they were in past years," Berger said. "The student representation was poor this year. Their input was just a few weeks prior to Commence- ment." • "I think it was the lack of respect to the invited guests of the college that had most people concerned," said Deborah Bell, assistant dean of student affairs. "Students should make an effort to·hold off on the frivolities until after the ceremony." Peter Amato, assistant dean of student affairs, said the actions of the graduates was rude and inappropriate. "Four years of college is no easy task," said Amato. "And (gradua- tion) should reflect what this com- munity is about. It should be about learning, life-long friendships, respect and manners, dignity and pride." • Graduates and faculty said some of the students were trying to coax the Commencement speaker Thuy Thanh Vu into ending a lengthy speech with applause and noise. The speaker, an editorial assistant for the San Diego Union, spoke about her experiences as a refugee from Vietnam. Humanities Chairperson Richard Atkins said although graduation should be an occasion to celebrate, there ought to be limitations. "The speaker had a very impor- tant story to tell and the students should respect that," Atkins said. "Enjoy yourself afterwards." Some graduates said they felt Commencement was no different than any other graduation ceremony. "It was a little disorgan_ized and I couldn't blame the students for being impatient with the speaker," said Tony Sirna, a political science graduate from Brooklyn, N. Y. "It wasn't that the students didn't ap- preciate the trials and tribulations of this woman. But we were all dy- ing to get our diplomas and graduate." - - Ann Marie Breslin, a com- .. munication arts graduate from Staten Island, said although the ceremony was too long, it should have been taken more seriously. "I felt embarrassed because there were parents and faculty there and on an occasion where we should be behaving like adults, we were acting like children," said Breslin. • Champagnat residents pleased with dorm renovations by Paul O'Sullivan where we also replaced the fur- niture." • This fall Champagnat Hall Waters said new smoke and fire residents returned to find a dor- alarms were installed, along with mitory with a totally new look. new exit lights.

The Marist-IBM connection has reared its head again. And it's a good thing it did. In July, Marist and IBM began a joint study that resulted in the installation of IBM's 3090 model 180 mainframe in the basement of the Computer Center. By installing the most powerful computer they manufacture, IBM has given members of the Marist community a system that is infinitely more powerful than our previous system. The plans for this study dictate that this computer will link the entire campus in a network of fiber optics and computer terminals by 1990.

About ·that LI weekend by Wes Zahnke The first twenty years and two months of my life had gone relatively smoothly. OK, maybe not smoothly, but I was still alive and not in prison. Then I paid my first visit to Long Island. Yes, a funny thing happen- ed to me on the way to the Boardy • Barn. • 'This action· packed night • of alcohol consumption and general carousing no doubt ranks up there a day in the life board, my cohorts were steadily imbibing a concoction of hops and barley more commonly refered to as beer.

The Circle welcomes letters to the editors. All letters must be typed double-spaced and have full left and right margins. Hand- written letters cannot be accepted. All letters must be signed and must include the writer's phone number and address. The editors may withhold names from publication upon request. The deadline for letters is noon Monday. Letters should be sent to Michael Kinane, c/o The Circle, through campus mail or drop- ped off at Campus Center 168. The Circle attempts to publish all the letters it receives, but the editors reserve the right to edit letters for matters of style, length, libel and taste. Short letters are preferred. This didn't please us and left us wondering if eleven of us could possibly sleep in the Mustang. Sleep was the last thing on our minds as we pulled into the park- ing lot of the place that, were it one tenth of its size, was very much like Sidetracked sans the pooltable. With happy hour slated to begin at 4 p.m., obviously the cool thing to do was to get there around noon and. harig C out in the parking lot. By 2 p.m. the mammoth lot was full and the scene could possibly have been construed as an indigent man's version of Woodstock. The atmosphere was, too say the absolute least, informal. This definitely could not have been mistaken as a dignitary party at the White House. The outstanding feature of the day, in my eyes, had to be all of the free beer I received from friends and even total strangers. Of course, it might have been a little tacky, but nonetheless effec- tive, had I wrung out my shirt into the pitcher to repay my benefactors. What killed me was the amount of people who stayed in the park- ing lot for the duration. I figured that either the Ken- tucky sta(e license of their cousin Ethel didn't work, or they were very near on the edge of oblivion in terms of intoxication. • As Che evening progressed and the dance floor became more like Wrestlemania III, I looked around to try and sum up the magnitude of this tumultous occasion. I saw faces smiling, hands clap- ping, drinks spilling and enormous lines at the bathroom. What could possibly put this happening into perspective? I thought hard for9IO seconds, not wanting to deviate from my plan of an anti-thinking summer, and it hit me that this whole thing was so great because it proved to me that when we wanted to be, Marist had the potential to be great. There were no hassles a:nd everyone acted responsibly. I wish President Murray and his staff could have been there.

They scrutinized his background like he was Gary Hart and found some events that led many· to question whether or not he was a legitimate vice-presidential ' candidate. • thinking between the lines The most important of these events was Quayle's entrance in- to the Indiana National Guard. _ This kept him out of the draft and virtually assured him that he would not be sent to Vietnam. The media wanted to know if Quayle's influential family and friends pulled any strings to help him avoid combat. Quayle protested that he had served his country honorably and the means he used to get into the National Guard were strictly legitimate. • The issue of Quayle's Na- tional Guard service is not one of using family influence as much as it is a question of character. While he was in col- lege, Quayle was a firm believer and supporter of the American involvement in Vietnam. My question is: if Quayle supported the war in Vietnam, why wasn't he willing to fight for something he felt was right? Admittedly, the Vietnam War was and is a very controversial subject. There are many dif- ferent reasons why some men chose to fight and why some tried to avoid the draft. But Quayle's reasons for entering the National Guard do not mat- ter. The fact is that he believed in and supported America's policy toward Vietnam, but ap- parently only so long as so- meone else was doing the fighting and the dying. When it came time to make a personal sacrifice for something he believed in, Quayle backed off. When he peeked out his front window and saw Uncle Sam walking up the path, he ran out the back door. This is not a, person that sno!-Jld-,~e !1,.he~l?ea~.,away .: . from the presidency'. • But - outside of the media there has been virtually no sup- port for removing Dan Quayle from the Republican ticket. In fact, many see.him as another public figure being persecuted by a biased press. It may be an unfortunate truth that America's acceptance of Quayle as a legitimate vice-presidential candidate is a sign that most Americans are no longer willing to give of themselves in order to help their country. You will ·not hear George Bush or Michael Dukakis start any of their campaign speeches with "Ask riot what your coun- try can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." . If they did, it would be political suicide because that is simply not what the American people. want to hear. Americans would - rather take the easy way out in- stead of making a sacrifice to stand up for something they know to be right. Dan Quayle pulled this same type of hypocrisy when he ran off to the National Guard to stay out of Vietnam. He has en- joyed all the fruits of A.merican so'ciety, but apparently he feels that defending that society against communism should be left to the inner-city minorities who enjoy none of the fruits of the society. So, it would seem that America is willing to accept Dan Quayle as a vice-presidential candidate because America sees itself in him. If this is true, it is a frightful thing to· consider what America Tomorrow will look like.

Hopeful- ly, this problem will be resolved next week. by Mary Stricker "Top 40 boppers" idolize them, mothers adore them, and "deadheads" groove to them. U2 - the hottest band of the '80s, the band that beat the Boss - wrapped up a sold-out U.S. tour last year, promoting • its latest album, "The Joshua Tree," which still has concert-goers mesmerized. • It has been called a spiritual revela- tion, an awesome show. Awesome or spiritual, U2 has definitely grown to be rock 'n' roll's savior of the '80s, but why it took so long for the masses to realize how extraordinary Bono and the boys are, is beyond me. Mullen Jr. 's thunderous drum roll on "Fire't. from "October" and Adam Clayton's persistent bass on "New Year's Day" from "War." In 1985, we heard Bono's violent cry of disgust on "Bad," which was enough for any diehard "Top 40 mongrel" to see the light, and see it they did, in stadiums and arenas throughout the country. However, it was not until last year, with the release of the ever~ popular "Joshua Tree," that U2 mongrel mania set in. These mongrels I speak of have the idea "The Joshua Tree" and U2 are in- terchangeable. This, of course, is dead wrong. People tell me the latest album is great. After hearing a few songs from the album, l stopped believ- ing anything people tell me. "The Joshua Tree" is a grand facade. U2's musical talent is readily ap- parent, so is the band's purpose: to serve the masses. It didn't take much. A band with so much talent has little trouble banging out a few sure-fire Top 40 hits. A band with so much talent September 15, 1988- THE CIRCLE - Page 5 r MCR broadcasts still up • • in air by Karen. Goettler Despite plans announced last year, Marist College radio sta- tion WMCR will not be broad- casting over the air for at least another year, according to sta- tion leaders. WMCR obtained the equip- ment necessary to go on the air as a 10-watt station· last year, unaware that a 1980 Federal Communications Commission ruling prevents any station from going on the air with less than 100 watts. The station will have to pur- chase an amplifier in order to boost its signal to the required 100 watts. Cindy Lemek, WMCR's general manager, said students on campus can still listen to the station on their stereo with a cable attachment. Lemek is op- timistic that the station will someday make it on the air. Lemek met with Martha Con- tee, a consumer specialist from the FCC, in Washington, D.C., this summer to find out what additional requirements WMCR has to meet. Contee told Lemek the sta- tion would also have to pur- chase emergency broadcast equipment to transfer listeners to the primary station of the area in the event of an emergency. Lemek also learned that paperwork to obtain the license must be filed and the applic·a- tion process can take up to one year due to a backlog at the FCC. "I've resigned myself to the fact that I won't see this station on the air," said Lemek, a senior from Tolland, Conn. Lemek said that the station's new music format had nothing to do with the delay in licensing. She said changes were only considered when it was thought the station would have to pro- ve reasonable need to go on the air. It was thought that the sta- tion might affiliate with Na- tional Public Radio and broad- cast a public affairs show. Although unnecessary, Lemek is considering doing it anyway to improve the station. "I'd like to have it be more of an educational outlet . on campus," she said. Professor Doug Cole, WMCR's faculty advisor, is not optimistic that the station will broadcast on the air any time soon. According to Cole, there would have to be at least a full- time engineer and possibly a full-time employee to run the station. In addition to this, Cole sug- gested that legal broadcast con- sultan ts may have to be employed to help the station with the application process and dealings with the FCC. Lemek-Said she doesn't think these problems will have a negative effect on morale at the station this year. She said there was more of a spirit problem in the spring when it was first determined that the station would not be going on the air. Now she thinks people are just interested in get- ting involved with WMCR. "So far I haven't had anyone say to me, 'So when are we go- ing on the air,' " she said. "People are just anxious to go on cable." Yes, they are good. Four years ago they were better - seven years ago, they were phenomenal. Yes, it's true, U2 has put out more than one album. In fact, the band has six, including "Under a Blood Red Sky," recorded live at Red Rocks, Colo. Although Bono claims the first four albums - "Boy," "Oc- tober," "War" and "Unforget- table Firet' - to be experimental, they reveal the powerful, biting talent of the band I came to know and. live for. has to sell out at some point.

More than 800 members of the class of 1992 are adjusting to the responsibilities of taking care of themselves, dorm life and master- ing the use of their free time. "So far, it's a lot of fun and work. It's a big change that we all have to adjust .td, but everyone makes it a lot easier," said Cathy Mahland from Woodhaven, N.Y. "lt's a big change. You have a lot of time and you don't really know bow to budget it," said Brian Flannery from Bethpage, N.Y. Away from the privacy of their own rooms, some freshmen have yet to adjust to living with hordes of 18-year-olds. "At first I was looking forward to live in a co-ed dorm, but now I don't because the guys are really obnoxious!," said Mitchell. "Everyone's nice and friendly, but it's hard to concentrate because there's always so·mething going on." said Erin Monaghan, a freshman from Albany, N.Y. "Too strict! There's too much security," said John Serafin from Locust Valley, N.Y. However, others are having less reservations with the changes they have made. "I liked the location and the campus. It is an easy transition from high school," said Jason Menu, from East Hampton, N.Y. "I have more free time." "I feel comfortable coming to Marist because I didn't set any high expectations for myself," said Kasha Mitchell from Old Forge, N.Y. "Everything is going smooth," said Reggie Chambers from Hemp- stead, N. Y. "I. have no com- plaints." While the concern of food, liv- ing conditions and classes seem to be plaguing some of the class of 1992, others have taken a keen in- · terest in one another. "The guys are hot," said Nicole Fleckenstein, ·a freshman from Stony Brook, N.Y. But then again there are some who don't take such a keen interest in one another. - "The girls are so cold you need coffee," said Serafin.

The Red Foxes will travel to Pleasantville, N.Y. Saturday to play Pace University. Pace shut out Marist 13-0 last year. Against Maritime, the Red Foxes took a slim 14-7 halftime lead but then scored four touchdowns and a safety in the second half to set the record for team scoring in one game. The previous record was set in 1982 when the Red Foxes scored 42 points against Brooklyn College.
