Under Core/Liberal • Studies, however, students iri the Science of Man Pro- gram must fill all the Core/Liberal Studies requirements. The Science of Man courses satisfy only part of those requirements. A major requiremeniofthe pro~ gram is the seniof thesis, which is.: written on a topic the student has • been exploring throughout the four years. The thesis is intended to raise questions of understanding, judg- ment and values, Lewis said. Students are invited to par- ticipate in the Science of Man Pro- gram after their academic folders have been reviewed for evidence of intellectual curiosity or potential leadership. Generally, the students selected are in the upper fifth or se-_ cond fifth of their high school class and have above-average sc~res on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. An attempt is made to vary class composition by major field to en- courage a diverse classroom at- mosphere, Lewis said. The prograin was initially designed to offer students the op- portunity to graduate in three years, but in recent years the_three-. year option has been discouraged, Lewis said. The program was given the name "Science of Ma1_1" by its founder, Dr. Xavier Ryan, formerly a pro- fessor of philosophy at Marist. The name was taken from the work of Erich Fromm, who used the term to identify an integrated understan- ding of human nature, said Lewis. The name is now being changed to Science of Humanities to ' eliminate the sexist overtones of the word "man," said Lewis.

He add- ed that additional time was spent in other meetings with officials on campus. He also noted that incident reports had to be completed in each . disciplinary situation, along· with interview statements from every person involved. There has been over 100 freshmen involved in • some disciplinary situation this semester, according to Brennan. Brennan said that he had ex- pressed . concerns about job demands to Steve Sansola, director • . of housing,·. throughout the semester. - Sansola said he was sensitive io the amount of paperwork but that . the RD job demands documenta- tion. ''I understand the demands, and steps were being taken to cen- tralize the system approach to the work and to standardize forms. We are trying to streamline the paper- work burden," Sansola said. , Another contributing factor in his resignation was the change in student affairs administration and his disagreement with the direction • he sees student affairs going ~n the future, Brennan said. "The parameters for which the RD can operate in making decisions has been changed as a result of the new administration," he said: Last year, Brennan was assistant to the former director of housing, Robert Heywood, as well as the residence director of Marian Hall. • Brennan also said that personal reasons, not connected with the college affected his dedsion to.• resign. Brennan supervised about 477 freshmen in Leo and Sheahan. T~f\t D~, NOV.28 - ART--ERIAL~: . . ' . .. SERVICE .', .J'., :,.,i·i.i .·! !-. ;,;;~,._·/:~~ ·/~. :·-..·::i.~·.·::;1 '., .. -~.

Nolan Hunger is a concern of the world and should be a concern to the Marist community, Sister Eileen Halloran, director of campus • ministry, says. That's why, she said, Marist is marking its fifth annual Hunger Week this week.-"We attempt to raise the consciousness of the Marist community," Sister Eileen said. Hunger'week events began Mon- day and will continue through next . Tuesday. Fifteen million people die of hunger every year, and more than ._500 million people exist on the edge of starvation, according to infor- ' mation the Catholic Relief Services released -this year. • One billion people, or nearly one-quarter of the world's popula- tion; live in a chronic state of malnutrition, and during the 1970s the gap in food production between rich and poor countries widened, according to CRS . Campus Ministry sponsors Hunger Week in conjunction with Oxfam America, an organization working to prevent hunger. A ma- jor event of the week takes place today, when students are asked to forgo a meal in the cafeteria and have the money saved donated to Oxfam. Similar events are being held across the country today as part of Oxfam Fast Day. Seiler's Food Corp., which operates the cafeteria on the Marist • campus, will donate a dollar to Ox- fam America for each student who participates. Last year only 400 students participated in the fast. "We are hoping to do more in terms of the Oxfam fast," said Sister Eileen. Campus Ministry has made more of an attempt to make students aware of the day this year. Sign-ups for the fast were held on • Monday and Tuesday during din- ner hours and also from 11 a.m. to I p.m. in Donnelly. The number of students par- ticipating this year was not available at press time. • Also on the agenda is the Annu~I Thanksgiving Interfaith Service, which will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 26. "lt is an attempt to raise the consciousness of the Marist community" about hunger and the poor, Sister Eileen said. Food baskets donated from the com- munity will be presented at the service. The service will be the culmina- tion of the week's activities and will focus on a prayer of thanks for what those present have and a prayer for those who are less for- tunate, she said. Earlier this week, Campus _ Ministry showed two films, "I Want to u,,e" and "The Business of Hunger." A slide show, "Take Charge: The Struggle for Economic Justice," was also shown. "When I first came here, I had a concern that something be done by Campus Ministry, and also to get others to respond to addressing the issues in a concrete way," Sister Eileen said. "I felt that I needed to be an enabler." She urged students to become in- volved by learning about hunger and what they can do. Marist marks Adult Lea,rning Week wi'th Open house by Donna Roe An open house and a lecture on "iest Taking Strategies" were part of activities this week sponsored by the Manst College School of Adult Education in recognition of Adult Learning Week, which is being marked this week. _ - Adult Learning Week is a statewide event whose purpose is «to promote _ greater pu~lic awareness of the availability and variety of learning opportunities for adults," according to a state press release concerning Adult ·Learning Week. . "The purpose of Adult Learning Week is to make Marist students more aware of adult education and students on campus," said Eleanor Charwat, acting directior of degree programs in the Schoo_! of Adult Education. The theme for this year's Adult Learning Week is "New York State - Where Learning Never Ends." An open house was held Tuesday from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. to let the adults in the Hudson Valley know about the courses and oppor- tunities available to them. A workshop titled "Test Taking Strategies" was also conducted. It was co-sponsored by Adult Educa- tion and the Marist Adult Student Union. Yvonne Poley, a counselor at the Marist 'Counseling Center is the instructor for the evenin·g. The adult students make up-ap- proximately one-quarter of the population of Marist College students, according to Charwat. There are 626 adult students cur- rently enrolled. Of those,548 students are part-time, 78 are full time students. The number of part-time adult students is steadily increasing. . However, the number of full-time • adult students is dropping. "Marist is very. receptive for adult students," said Charwat. "There are different needs for adult students and Marist meets those needs very well." The orientation for adult students and the access of the bookstore during the evenings at the beginning of the semester are just a couple of examples ·or this. 'i l !

They also cla~m that if they do gra~t the _se_cretarie~ a 9 percent increase, they will be forced to negottate similar pay in- creases 'with other employee groups on campus. However, SCA members consider themselves worthy of an increase comparable to that already received by the confidential secretaries, • those who serve senior administrators.

Ho:,v much is the administration really willing to give in order-to bring a swift • end to the deadlock? Are the two sides still even negotiating? By taking a hard-nosed approach, the administration ~ad earlier in- dicated that an outside mediator was the only way potential movement could be made. But with both sides finally agreeing to go with the mediator, it seems the SCA is now the only party making any kind of movement at the table. , If the administration has given its final offer, then negotiations have ended unsuccessfully. Let's hope the administration will make an_other· otter, a good offer, soon, so negotiations can finally come to a sat,sfac-• tory end. Oo '(ou -rtii~\< - i. c"~ • j E ,.. i..in '. RoctaoeUS?

A "human right,". as distinc.t from a mere aspiration; implies a social guarantee against standard threats to a justifiable demand. It is with this in mind that Professor Henry Shue of the University of Maryland persuasively argues that subsistenc·e rights (minimal economic se.curity. incl~ding ade- quate food, clothing and shelter) are just as important as security rights (freedom from m~rde~, ~or- ture, rape and assault). It 1s 1m- :. .. . . f possible to enjoy any right (civil, Problem . Q political, social, ~ultural, ~~-) if one lacks the baste necess111es of life. Shue believes people have a huma• n r1· ghts right to.what is needed for a decent chance at a reasonably healthy and . active life. He acknowledges cer- tain problems. Most would agree that people who die by thei~ th_ir- ties due to hunger and parasite in- festation have their human rights violated. But does every baby have the right to open-heart surgery?

Best is an associate professor of religious studies at Marist. recently experienced a coup and may face the spector of civil war. In Ethiopia secessionist movements operate in Eritrea and Tigray. Rebels accuse the regime or Lt. Col. Mengistu with deliberately de- nying food to areas not under government control. Convoys of mercy travel at night to avoid the napalm of Soviet-made MIG fighters. Given these stressful conditions workers representing various relief organizations disagree, sometimes vociferously, on how best to stop the hunger. For example, the U.S. Agency for International Develop- ment and UN agencies have developed strained relations regar- ding the Danakil famine in Sudan. Westerners, moreover, must guard against their inclination to totally dominate assistance efforts at the expense of African officials. On October 16th the UN Food and Agricultural Organization marked its fortieth anniversary. Over one hundred fifty nations reaffirmed the war on hunger and malnutrition. Yet clearly Africa is far from realizing the FAO's mot- to - "LET THERE BE BREAD." Dr. Vavrina is an assistant pro- fessor of political science and foreign student advisor at Marist.

In front of you, at a gray steel desk, a police officer asks you routine questions: name, age, ad- • dress, phone number, marital status, Social Security number. ·You're being booked after an ar- rest, and what you do next could have a profound effect on your life. That next step, most legal ex- perts say, should be to get a lawyer, even if you're certain of your in- nocence. Regardless of your finan- cial situation, legal help is available to you in Dutchess County, both for criminal cases and for civil cases, such as disputes· with . landlords. The best place to start is the Lawyer Referral Service of the Dutchess County Bar Association, This service will provide you with the name, telephone number and address of a local attorney who handles-cases similar to yours. If you can't afford to pay full legal fees, the service will refer you to a-lawyer who will represent you at a reduced rate. Says Marie Meehan, executive secretary for the association, "We • can usually make some type of ar- rangements for _stud~nts." )"ou m\m; however, r_equest this red tic- • eci1i:ate ·when calling tht(service. Some students may also qualify for a bar association program run in conjunction with Mid-Hudson • Legal Services. In the program, private attorneys who have agreed to handle a certain number of cases free-of-charge are assigned clients who cannot afford to pay legal fees. Clients are seen by appoint- ment only and must meet the in- come guidelines set up by the bar association, according to Catharine Charuk, acting director of litiga• tion for Mid-Hudson Legal Services.

So ·are Frank . Sciaretta, John Halko, Jim Schalck, and Amy Squicciarino. These are some of the wheelchair students here at Marist. According to these students, . Marist College has a good awareness of their needs and shows a willingness to respond. They con- sider Marist an accessible school. According to Special Services, a • campus support service for the disabled, Marist complies to Sec- tion 504 of the Federal Rehabilita- tion Act of 1973, which states that the disabled student should be able to fully function on campus, as well as in the classrooms. In compliance with this act, Marist has made ac- commodations on campus to make the buildings wheelchair accessible. "I haven't found a building yet'· I've had to get into and couldn't," said Ray Ruckel, a junior transfer from Farmingdale College, who uses a manually operated wheelchair. "Marist is ten times better than Farmingdale." John Halko, a junior who uses a motorized · wheelchair, said Marist is one of. the niost accessi- ble schools on the East Coast. "I toured many schools before I chose Marist," he said. "A lot of big naine schools had fantastic academics, but were physically in- accessible." When ·he toured Marist, he said he found he could get aroµnd with little nssismn~. Marist has three wht-ekhnir ae:-. cessible dorms.

Indoor track starts to run und.er L·urie by Ellen Ballou Although the Marist men's and women's cross country season end- ed t_wo weeks ago, there is still the indoor-outdoor track season ahead. The first meet is scheduled for this Saturday, at West Point. This is Steve Lurie's third year coaching track. In his first year, the Marist team had five members. Now the team has grown in number and "with the gain in number comes the gain in quality - hopefully," said Lurie . The Marist track team consists of 49. people - eight women and 31 men. It's a young team with on- ly six seniors, one junior and 47 sophomores and freshmen. The seniors that will be running distance include: Pete Pazik, Mike Murphy, Pete Coaizzo and John Clements. Clements;a transfer stu- dent, will be running track for the first time. Other seniors running for Marist are Christian Morrison in the mid- distance and Donald Godwin in the half mile. The track season is a long one . It lasts until March indoors and un- til May outdoors.

He said tlie program can provide a relaxed at- mosphere in which students and facqlty can get better acquainted. Lynch said he would also like to see a greater number of women participating in the intramural pro- gram in the future. Hopefully, the addition of more co-ed sports will show women that we need them, he said. • The addition of new events is. also on the list of program goals.
