Alpha Phi Delta. . At the Wednesday, Oct. 4, 1995 meeting of the Greek Council, Alpha Phi Delta was chartered as an on-campus fraternity. The charter was approved by the Student Senate, Student Body President, Michael Carlson, the Greek Council, and the Vice President of Clubs Jen- nifer Nocella. The final decision, by Jennifer Nocella, was to allow them to rush both semesters. "I am so happy," said Ramsay Whitworth, Vice President of Al- pha Phi Delta. "because we've been trying for four years to be a fraternity; but we've run into many obstacles." Last May, when the cap was raised on campus clubs, Alpha Phi Delta was on the top of the waiting list. They followeo all procedures to receive a charter, but found problems with the is- sue . of rushing. • When a new fraternity is char- tered, a one year probation is is- · sued. Also, the fraternity must prove that they are organized before any pledging is done, which usually takes a semester. Alpha Phi Delta has 14 mem- bers, 13 of which are seniors. If the fraternity was not allowed to rush during the fall semester, the new µiembers who pledged dur- ing spring semester would have little experience when the seniors graduated. • The fraternity did not want io leave inexperienced members, so . they asked they be allowed to rush both fall and spring semes- ters of the 1995-96 school year._ "Since the names we get through rushing on campus will be underclassmen, we will be able to continue the chapter," Clint Vidal, Sargeant of Arms of the chapter said. The issue of rushing was de- bated by the Greek Council, where some felt it was unfair to let Alpha Phi Delta have special privledges. The issue was finally put to a vote, which decided that the fraternity. was allowed to rush both semesters. ____ ... , ,-Alvin_ A/fey' RepertoryEnse_mole Friday, October 27, 8 p.m. Alvin Ailey createclthe Rep- ertory Ensemble in 1Q74 to showcase .the talents of the most exceptional dancers from his_·American Dance Center.

"Presidents Clinton and YeltSin speak to between 8,000 and 10,000 people, seated along the campus greenwith U.S. and Russian flags waving in the wind and leaves changing col- ors behind: them as boats go down the river. With that kind of opportunity, how could they resist?" Massie said. Another scenario involves an event -that' happened iri 1946 when President Truman and Winston Churchill spoke on a small college campus in Mis- souri. Churchill used the phrase 'iron curtain' for the first time when at the college. If Yeltsin were to speak here, it would give him the c~ance to say that the iron curtain has been lifted with the fall of com- niunism, Massie· said. The his- toric statement could put Marist on the map and in the history books.· "I· think anything is possible, and if you don't try every way possible you'll never know if you'll be able to do it," Massie said. There is a good chance that we'll receive a favorable re- sponse, Massie said. Marist students drove vans for the media and staff and helped with other necessities during President Clinton's Hyde Park visit in 1993. When Hillary Clinton visited Val-Kill on Oct. 1, Marist stu- dents also helped with parking and ushering. After his visit two years ago, President Clinton commented on the help received from Marist, expressing how thrilled he was that so many people helped out. He also sent thank you let- ters to many people on campus, Massie said. "I believe that we have proved to President Clinton and the White House that we are more than capable of han- dling it," Massie said. Most students are excited at the prospect of so much atten- tion coming to Marist, Massie said. "It would be amazing if he came," Christine Galicia, a freshman, said. Murray and Massie are still waiting to hear from the White House and Russian Ambassa- dor regarding their requests. • -:•;':(,~{g:u::;§iy_~#j\e,11u!e pro:c~ss< .- •• - ties • ·-··.- .. • .•• ·. . -> . dTemireComniitteeisadif_; e < - 1cult committee to ~rveOn be~ • J~u •• '11SeOf the choices· to Illake.: ··• r fa /'lt'{toiJgh, bull think the Iillig ers culiy takes is seriously,'' • ·'asti witho , •• deiHeydensajd.''.It's one •• ~t.'.TAf~~~',is ';!~elllt~;r~\~P~~~:~~~\::· ys going fr{ beAiffererices .. · .. · .

People constantly came in and out of Jon Trachtmand and Leslie Arthur's apartment at the wrong time, and they witnessed cross- dressing, affairs and drunken- ness. Trachtmand and Arthur were played by Jef Freydl and Tom Gallagher. Gallagher's character,· Leslie Arthur, often. created confusion and laughs. The. part required Gallagher to wear a dress and heels for most of the play. • Gallagher said it was challeng- ing to pose as Jon's wife to save money from the IRS. He also said there may be repercussions for the part. • "I won't be able to live it.down for a long time," Gallagher said. But Gallagher was not the only "woman" in the play.

Many students have been upset that security is not obli- gated to transport students over to St. Francis, and they are very upset that they think that they have to walk over. Hopefully I can explain. Security just doesn't have the time or manpower to transport every student over to the hospital. But dur- ing emergencies, students can get rides by security, and for dire emergencies, an ambulance will be used. But for minor trips over to St Francis, the place to go is to Health Services. Marist has an agreement with one of the taxi companies that if you go to Health Services, they will call a taxi for you, and the bill will be charged to the college. After your visit to the hospital, you can use the phone at the reception desk to make a free call to the cab company, and they will drive you back to Marist, again for no charge. I used this method on Tuesday, and there was no hassle at all, and I didn't have to pay for my ride to or from the hospital, and more importantly, I didn't have to bother security about getting a ride over. They have other concerns that they have to devote their time to . I just wanted to clear this up, because many students seemed unaware on how to get over to the hospital. For more information, call Health Services, and like always, if you have any other concerns, call Student Government at x. 2206, or speak to me at x. 4052.

There is a door with a very interesting nameplate af- fixed to it. It says "FOREN- SICS" in big, white letters. Now, I know what you're all saying- _ "Hey stupid, forensics means the debate team." I may not re- ally know how the Dewey Deci- mal system works, but I am not a complete stooge. I know that forensics, in this context, means debate and I think it is swell that they have a door· with their name ori it. I even suppose that means that they have a room of their own on the other side of that door. - But let us keep in mind the ma- jor role television has played in my life. This being the case, re- alize that the only other time I have ever seen the word "fo- rensics" on a regular basis w~ in the beginning of that show "Quincy, M.D." And I can not keep from thinking that ifl open that door and kinda sneak my fat head in, that I will see Quincy working over a real mean look- }ng .cadaver oh a big metal slab in a morgue.

Someday, before I graduate, I hope to get the courage to open that door, and find out the truth. ••••••••••••••• _ If you do not know by now, I have some strange ideas float- ing around in my big old noggin. Take for example my attitude about putting stamps on letters. I do not write many letters be- cause I just do not trust stamps. Never have, never will. I find it rather difficult to believe that a little piece of paper, about an inch in diameter, with a picture of a bird or Elvis on the front, has the sheer will-power to stay stuck to my letter for the duration of the journey. • I think the glue is to fault. Glue that needs to be activated by the 98.6 degree saliva on my tongue will never be any sort of reassur- ance to me. It seems that with all the· technology we have today (man on the moon, cameras in the courtroom, Horne Shopping Net- work, etc.) we should be able to figure out a better system than this. I mean, that so called "glue" on the back of the stamp will • never be mistaken for that glue that with one single drop, held that construction worker in th air by his hard hat. I will alway feel like as soon as I drop tha letter into the slot, my stamp i going to fall right off, and the won't be able to read my retu address because some careles .postal worker spilt coffee on it and my letter will end up in tha omirious sounding place calle the "Dead Letter Office" wher the mail that nobody loves goes Stamps are called stamps be cause they used to really b "stamped" onto your parcel ( think). Maybe I would send mo letters if postage·was affixed in seemingly more pennanent way Like branding maybe. Bum tha 32 cents and the picture of som fruit I never heard of onto my let ter. That would give me confi dence. And it would be great t see that smoke rise up from th paper. Hey, it works for cattle. But then again, it is probably not good idea lo have disgruntle postal workers running amo armed with hot branding irons what with all the trouble the have been causing lately. (Hey you didn't think I was going t get off this topic and not mak some sort of reference to dis gruntled postal workers, di you?)

Goldberg started perfonning at small bars in Baltimore, Maryland and after graduation she contin- ued playing at night while teach- ing during the day.

Tate's performance as An- thony was very good. How- ever, judging by his young looks, it's hard to believe that he's playing a kid in high school then later, a Vietnam veteran. With the help of a strong screenplay by Michael Henry Brown, the actors, es- pecially Keith David, capture the raw and gritty language of the South Bronx. , With music by Danny Elfman, a terrific soundtrack, and ac- curate set designs, 'Presidents' captures the late 60's and early ?O's. The film looks good at times but doesn't totally sat- isfy. It doesn't cause the same moralpondering that 'Menace' did and fails to provide equally interesting characters. Certain scenes in the film were good but all in all, 'Presidents' was a disappointment. With the recent trend in Hollywood being a shift towards violence, 'Presidents' fulfills this grow- ing hunger for blood and guns. However, that's pretty much all it offers. Ifyou find that re- motely entertaining and get a kick out of violence, then go see it. (Grade: C) iRhinecJiff.l;'{l'he-t,oat .. --.hiu11ch llllll~l~~; \IIu~priXtfQpHijue.ttqllg .• Mill..

Major league baseball became fair game to the highest.TV bidder Tues- day, touching off what was ex- pected to be an intense _but brief period of talks to replace the short-lived Baseball Network. Fox and CBS are among those interested in stepping into baseball's TV void, which could be filled NFL style, with several networks carving up the major leagues. "We're meeting wit.ti them this afternoon," CBS sPorts presi- dent David Keninsaid Tuesday. "I don't think it will be very com- • · plicated: I think they'll come in with a highly structured plan." ABC and NBC dissolved The Baseball Network in disgust last June 23, leaving baseball with- out a national broadcast contract for next season. Monday was the final day of a 45-day period during which ABC and NBC-h11d' exclusive rights to negotiate with baseball.

When The BaseballNetwork was dissolved, it also apparently gave owners the right to reopen the ESPN contract, a six-year dealworth$255 million that runs through 1999.-lt could work out to ESPN's benefit. Since owners have vowed that their next contract will not allow any playoff games to. be region- alized, it's almost certain that cable TV will have to be involved in the first round· of postseason. During the wildcard playoffs, as many as four games. a day would have to be televised. It seems likely that cable would do two, giving ESPN a cqance to be- come the first cableJarrier of a postseason major league game. "I despise regionalization;" .. Gentile said.

Circle Photo/Chris Bcrinato The swing alone was not enough to beat Hartford. Spikers enjoy thrill of victory and agony of defeat on own home court by MA.Re LESTINSKY Staff Writer It seemed like a differentMarist women's volleyball team on the court Wednesday night against Hartford than it did Saturday against Wagner. The Red· Foxes (2-15) played a near flawless match from start to finish to come away with a 15-8, 14-16, 15-9, 15-12, non-confer- ence victory against the Hawks. Marist's performance marked only the second time to date the Foxes have been on the winning side of the net. • According to coach Emily Ahlquist, Marist's execution of its game plan was the key to the victory. "We took them out of their game," Ahlquist said. "We served well so they weren't able to pass well.'' After winning the.first game, 15-8, Marist lost a tight second one, 14-16. But instead of letting up, the Foxes came back strong to win the third, 15-9. Ahlquist said her squad was more motivated to keep the pres- sure on Hartford after the sec- ond game than anything else. ''They (the team) were very determined after the close sec- ond game," Ahlquist said. "They knew they had it and they didn't let up.'' As a result, the Hawks bowed out 15-12 in the fourth and in the process gave Marist a much needed confidence boost. Junior outside hitters Mary Beth Horman and Liz Herzner played large roles in the victory with 15 kills and 12 kills respec- tively. Also keying the Marist charge were Tara Damrau with 18 digs and Ellie Schuerger with 40 as- sists and I 5 digs. Three days later, however, the Red Foxes were disappointed again, this time by conference opponent Wagner. In the match, Marist was Jet down by the most successful facet of their game- its passing . and serving. Because of the lack of precision passing and serving the Foxes are accustomed to, they were not able to run their plays, disrupt- ing their style of play. The result was another tough, five-game loss, 15-8,4-15, 15-12, 6-15, 17-19. In the first game for Marist, Mary Beth Horman tallied seven kills on eight attempts. She would end up with a team high I 3 for the game to go along with I 3 digs. Other notable performances were turned in by freshman out- side hitter Heather Vir and junior . outside hitter Tara Damrau. Vir totaled 12 kills while Damrau collected 15 digs. Despite the outcome, Ahlquist said Mari st 's loss to the Seahawks was good for her team because it taught them a lesson. That message, Ahlquist said, was to "treat every match like a new match." In other words, every match is different. Marist plays horrie today, Thursday, against Manhattan then it is off to Farleigh Dickinson to take on St. Francis (Pa.) on Saturday.

My condolences to the Yankee fans but if there was a positive to come out of the series is Ken Griffey Jr. To w~tch him play, he may very well be the greatest our genera- tion may ever see. He is the 90s version of Willie • Mays. The speed, the swing, the power but most of all the smile and personality. To watch him play, it is being awe struck at the sight of his tal- ent. Even though Edgar Martinez garnered Most Valuable Player honors, Griffey certainly sup- ported the attack. Either throw- ing out runners from the outfield or rounding the bases, he is a poetry in motion. And may very well supplant ·another Yank~ legend in.Reggie Jackson. After his five homerun performance in as many games, every time he came to the plate, there was·tlie fear that he could hit Orie into the rafters.
