Last July, just hours after arriving in Madrid, Spain with 29 other students from Dutchess County's Rhinebeck High School, the TWA building next to the dormitory where she was to stay for five weeks was bombed by Moslem Shiites. Exhausted with jet lag and without warning, Waters and her Classmates were forced to deal with a situation they had only read about in newspapers or seen on Waters and her classmates were not allowed to leave the dormitory that day or use the phone. She said that presented another problem. "We were not allowed to use the phone until 6 p.m. that night,'' said the criminal justice major. "Mean- while, reports of the bombing had been broadcasted on the news ear- ly in the morning in the U.S. We couldn't even call home to tell our families that we were alright." Waters said she had mixed emo~ - tions that C,ay. • • "We were curious, and a few of us went out on the roof to try and get a look," she said. "1 remember • wondering how many more times it was going to happen. It didn't seem like it bothered the Spanish . people at all. They were just going right along with their business, so it didn't seem like anything to· worry about." w----- Waters said she believed that the Sue Waters (Photo by Laurie ordeal affected some students more Barraco) than others, especially two who had decided to stay up and take a walk while the others were in bed. "They were right there when it happened,'' Waters remembered. "They ran to the dorm and were crying and really upset. But after- wards, it didn't really stop us. We still went out by ourselves." Now, months after the ex- perience, Waters says she still thinks about it often. "When I hear of terrorist at- tacks, I know what everyone else who experiences it-feels like,'' she said. "But l don't freak out, and l don't have bad dreams. It hasn't stopped me from doing things. I think it makes me a little more cautious. Sometimes it seems like it happened yesterday. I'd go back there any time. I could even live there." Waters adds with a smile, "I'm more comfortable in Madrid than I am in New:York City."

Budget cuts slash into veterans' aid by Laverne C. Williams Nineteen Marist students will receive an 8.7 percent cut in veterans assistance checks in Ai:fril, according to Joe Armendarez, a veterans counselor in Marist's Of- fice of Veterans Affairs. "I'm just trying to let the peo- ple who are receiving benefits at Marist know that their benefits are going to be reduced," he said. The cuts went into effect March I, 1986, and will last until Sept. 30 ofthis year, he said. After Sept. 30, the rates will return to the original status of the old GI bill that was implemented after the Vietnam War, Armendarez said. Veterans and their dependents will see up to $50 cut from . their veterans assistance· checks due to budgeting restraints imposed by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, Armendarez said. • • ··~-&rklof. ... · Mary Beth Carey Associate Director. of Admission The Office of Admissions · is currently accep~ ting applications for the Admissions Co- op in Educational • Adminstration.

He added that he has already heard from some interested high school students. . ever did led him to the door of Lazarus House, the temporary shelter for the homeless he founded three . years ago in Lawrence, Mass. · As a young man, Petitte planned to enter the family business, not the clergy. In fact, he recounts, when a priest ask- ed him if he'd thought about the priesthood, his somewhat ir- reverent answer was no, because his Latin was bad and he didn't play golf. But a seed had been planted, and the 19-year-old Petitte wrote to several religious orders seeking information. The Marist Brothers sent back a handwritten letter and later traveled from Poughkeepsie to Surf City to talk with him. Petitte joined the Marist order after high school, in 1964. After one year of training in Petitte said his "most ques- tioning years" about his deci- sion to enter the clergy came while he was a student at Marist. In a recent phone inter- view from Lazarus House, he explained that as more lay students enrolled in the college, the young men studyin~ to become brothers were given more freedom to join in campus activities and social events. Petitte was hungry to ex- perience all of life. and at times he wasn't sure he'd have that freedom in the clergy. And as one of six children, he said, he struggled with the knowledge he'd never be a father. "But I had a feeling God was calling me to something else, and that it would demand all my time " Petitte said. "l had the unea'sy feeling something was calling me to where I am now."

"We don't take any one to heart," he explained, "but they do make a teacher's strengths and weaknesses come out." In the case of consistently poor evaluations, the chairperson and instructor outline teaching objec- tives and the chairperson makes in- class visits to see if the instructor . is meeting them, Kelly said . Even if the poor evaluations are verified, he added, it may take two or three years to terminate the in- structor.

Seiler's operates the deli, which is in the Champagnat Hall basement. In the first incident, at approx- imately 3 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 28, sophomore Michael P.

Waters said that at 3:25 a.m., • student security guard Tony . Laurie11o was on patrol aild sighted ••• the paint and the broken window on the Barge door. Once other security •. personnel arrived, they fo11owed paint and blood tracks to . within feet of Mu11ane's door on the first floor of Champagnat, ·where they found paint on . the doorknob, Waters said. Waters said security personnel apprehended Mullane and had him transported to St. Francis hospital for treatment of his left forearm. Mullane, once treated, was taken to Town of Poughkeepsie Police headquarters. • Town of Poughkeepsie detective Jim Burke said Mullane is charged with burglary in the third degree, a felony, criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, and petit larceny, also a misdemeanor. In the second incident, at ap- proximately 3 :20 a.m. on Saturday, March 8, junior Martin Handy allegedly pried the window on the employee door loose to gain access to the deli. Waters said Handy, a townhouse resident, was caught • leaving the deli by student guard Vlad Horrego, and added that Handy was carrying a gym bag with food in it at the time. • Waters said Horrego notified night supervisors Clyde Wray and Bill Persons, who arrived to ap- prehend Handy. Handy is charged with burglary in the third degree, a felony. Both await court hearings at the Town of Poughkeepsie Justice Court. In addition, Steve Sansola, direc- tor of housing, said Mullane and Handy have been banned from all • college housing areas, but he add- ed that they are still allowed to enter the campus center and all academic buildings. -.-_. •• :. -.-,•··:;~- ·•,.·~ ~.-:-·. ~:-~:---· .• _: . .- ;.- .... __ . __ / .. ·, :. __ ;_--.,r:··;".:· .... ~·-- ••'•" -'.-:--- __ .,: .. ·•:. .. .:,.-.,_ !,.··,;_ ---Page· 4· • THE;.

In addition to serving as a din- ing and meeting area for faculty and administration, Waters said the room will be used for board of trustees meetings and as a dining area for guests. • ·waters said the Candlelight Cafe, which is regularly used for such functions, has become the meeting place of so many faculty and student groups that it is no longer readily available for meetings. In addition, the Cafe is • too small for the weekly breakfast meetings of the board. The· new dining room, he said, is much more suited to meetings and will be more • appealing to guests. "It gives us an attractive area where Marist can put out its best," he said.· Asked if the new room. like the Candlelight Cafe, will be ·used for student meetings, .Waters said, "It's primarily for faculty and board, but I wouldn't say it can never be used by students;'' The room, he said, may be used for meetings between • the student government or other student groups and administrators.· . The main portion of the room will seat 75 and be divided by a cur- tain so that more than one meeting • can take place at the same time, • Waters said. In addition, a small, 15-seat meeting area is being con- structed in a corner of the room.

"We are disgusted that we wasted three weeks when we could have been working on something else.

Asked if a low offer was deliberately made to discourge a one-year settlement for any reason, Adin responded: ''Absolutely not. We expected the secretaries to negotiate• a one-year contract but they made no movement. Good- faith bargaining calls for give and take on both sides," Adin said.

Adin said the administration, also concerned about the welfare of the SCA members and the conse- quences of extended negotiations, had hoped a one-year settlement could have been reached. "We want them to get an increase and we are very anxious to get this settl- ed. Right now it's bad for the secretaries and bad for the institu- tion," Adin said. With the administration negotiating team now awaiting the SCA's proposal for a three-year conract, Adin said he could not predict when the negotiations would end. But he added: "A one- year package looked to the past. We want to look to the future. We are interested in a healthy, amicable relationship with the SCA and l think a three-year contract represents this."

Fire alarms caused by malfunc- tions or deliberate false pullings are also safety concerns, according to Sansola and Dormeyer.

SEE YOUR RA, UC, ARD, RD, OR THE HOUSING OFFICE. _____ o P-i nlon Need For- A-- Stand The Progressive Coalition has asked a question that still deserves to be answered: What is the Marist administration's posi- tion on withdrawing the college's financial holdings from corpora- tions that do business in South Africa? No doubt President Dennis Murray's memorandum released this week may help the community understand the options a col- lege can take to oppose apartheid. Murray and the Board of Trustees have called for a Presiden- tial. Commission of representative faculty, students and ad- ministration to make recommendations on Marist's course of action. While the school's attempt to consider community-wide. in- terests is commendable, we are concerned that the commission announcement will further delay the long-awaited college posi- tion statement on its investments in companies with interests in South Africa. • The burden of formulating a position for Murray and the Board of Trustees should not be shifted. The decision on the college's position is complicated by many factors. The number of students speaking out on the issue is relatively small and the true goals of the coalition may need clarification. This, combined with the intricacies of the apartheid issue, could explain the college's delays. However, the longer Murray and the Board of Trustees delay in taking a position, the more impatient proponents of divestment will become.

This is very com-· mon in Latin America. The strug- gle continues in Latin America to preserve the freedom of_· press. Freedom of press in Latin America is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Journalists are. current- ly fighting with totalitarian govern- ments to publish their thoughts freely. Argentina In this country, congress has ap- proved a bill that says that every publication, article and editorial must have the writer's first and last name. There have also been deten- tions and threats to many reporters. Colombia The approval of various laws clearly restrain journalism in this country. Publications of opposing political parties cannot criticize the . go~ernment in power. Journalists cannot communicate their ideas ·freely. Chile , Freedom of press does not exist in Chile due to the restrictive legislation of the government. The government controls all major newspapers and puts conditions on all new publications.

But I shaJl refrain and yes, I know what a • magnanimous gesture it is on my part. Instead, I would like to share some of my in- sights with you. . But first, a prefatory note on the trans-atlantic flights. Jet-lag is a term so often referred to that it has become a malady registered in our intellectual furniture. Everyone has a lucid misuri.d-::rstanding of it, as they do with schiophrenia or the blues. Jet lag is seen as a temporary physio~psychological disorder. Let me clarify the effects of jet lag, us- ing the -analogy of common experience. When I buy beer, I buy a ·premium quality substance that gives me a pleasant sensation and . tastes good. If I drink in excess, I wake up with a headache. I have acquaintances.that buy beer using a bulk price ratio. After a moderate amount of this beer is consumed, their intestines are scarred and tpey wake up with irreversible cerebral damage (they aJso spend what they save • on beer on bargain air freshener). Now then, when travel- ing to England, I flew a prestigious airline. Upon arrival, I was quite tired; I slept for ten hours and woke the next morning refreshed. I have acquaintances who flew an airline called "Personsexpress." The flight was last October and they still have jet lag. Emigration heightens your perception of the totality and inter- nationalization of your socializa- tion. Your culture is virtually an ex- oskeleton, and assimilation into foreign customs and mores is as joining and ant colony. American culture is based on commercial products. Last year, I would have gladly derided the baseness of the backbone of American society, condemning its superficiality with aJI the self- righteous dogma I could shovel. But lately; ther:e are quite a few prissy-assed, thesaurus-toting, four-eyed, Queens-English- speaking pedants throwing Big Macs and Rocky dolls in my face .. And.the f~ct that I carinot get a de- c~nt pizza or a one-pound bag of Doritos, or a roast beef hero with the works is starting to make me feel caged in. • But I can deal with it because England offers undisputably the world's most impressive gothic ar- chitecture: garantuaun cathedrals, with slate roof stained glass win- dows, marble floors, intricate wood work and fantastic archways. And this is-a land with·depth and richness in history. But then I come to realize that . I miss Opus and Binkley. I wonder if next time I sit down to watch David Letterman will I understand the jokes. I wonder if Mick and Robin are getting married and if Frank and Joyce are getting along. But I try not to dwell on these trivial ·forms or entertainment because I am living in the bosom of academia, reading Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton and Dickens . Oxford is a magical city.

For The students and faculty who marched in the anti-apartheid march were not trying to change the world, just one small corner of it - the Marist College Campus. The march caused a stir in the Marist community. It got people talking, and most importantly, thinking. If you believe that the problems in South Africa are their · responsibility alone, you better give it some more thought. Racism is everybody's problem. What is now happening in South Africa is very similar to battle for Civil Rights that went on in this country dur- ing the 1960's. King said " .. .I still have a dream.

The average stay is three weeks. The number of single parents with children needing a tem- porary home has tripled, said Petitte, • and the number of homeless in their teens and ear- ly twenties has doubled. Petitte has little patience with a system that keeps the needy physically and spiritually deprived. "We will be judged as a na- tion on how we deal with our citizens," Petitte said. "People are not content with being poor. Even what public assistance gh·es them does not bring them up to the poverty level." But in his •,iew, government programs arc not solely to blame for the growing number of people forced to live under- privileged lives.

"( have nothing to lose, not authority, not a job." Petitte's single-mindedness is only one side of the coin that made Lazarus House possjble. • The other side is an unswerving faith in God and a literal inter- pretation of the Gospel. "There is such a thing as grace-it is a powerful force we take for granted," he said. "In the Second Letter of Peter we are called to be like Jesus-it tells us to be by grace what Jesus is by nature. Working from the Gospel, e\·eryone is Christ. At Lazarus House we are dealing with an individual who is Christ."

For all of you that hopped a car, plane or train to the Sunshine State • and took a tem- porary pass into oblivion, this could clear up what happened on the college front while you were away. • The Marist men's basketball team lost down at Madison Square Garden by 19 points to Fairleigh Dickinson University. Old news. Well, that and the rest of the regular season put Marist in second place_ in the ECAC Metro Con- ference at the end of it all. Then_came the ECAC Tourna- ment. Tlie team at the top of the • standings plays the team at the bot- tom, the second place team goes against the second-to-last and so on. The winners play each other. In the end • of the tournament, Marist had to play a certain FDU, . from shellackings past. The_ contest went into overtime and our Red Foxes, yes, you guessed it, won by one .point. That let Marist, for the first time, go to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Playoffs. )"he final 64. Hurrah! I thank you for the national exposure. I hope this is clearing those fogg- ed out and those re-entering the Marist bubble who read this paper as their only source of ·news. Marist was designated to go to Baton Rouge, La., to play the top seed in the Southeast Region, Georgia Tech. We lost by 15 in a thursday- morning quarterback fury of a game. All the big-time newspapers did nice pieces on Marist. The Red Foxes were in The Washington Post, The Miami Hearld, Newsday and USA Today, not to mention the television coverage on the networks and cable channels. I hope all this made the The Marist Rugby Club on its ·way to a 4-0 shutout of C. W. Post on Saturday. The club tied Iona 4-4 in a match earlier this month.

Eleven out of 12 swimmers qualified in 1986. • "That's the most by far," he add- ed. The championships took place on Feb. 20,-21 and 22. On the first day, freshman Rob_ Fehrenbach broke the school record in the SO-yard freestyle with Sophomore Dave Barrett broke a three-year-old school record in the 200-yard breast stroke with a time of 2:20:36. On the same day, Schaefer broke a six-year-old • school record in the 200 - yard backstroke with a time of 2: 13:07. In addition, two divers qualified for the East Coast Atlantic Con- ference championships, and subse- quently qualified for the Division One pre-qualifications. They were freshman Lisa Burgbacher· and junior Larry Canonico. After seeing the team do so well in the championships this year, VanWagner is optimistic about next season. "We have the capability of improving our team position next year," he said. "Hopefully, we can move up one or two more positons in the next championship." trip worthwhile for anybody who thought losing spoiled it. I'm just glad they made it that far; they fulfilled many expectations. So concluded the Red Fox basketball season. But other sports happenings happened here at home. Yesterday, the lacrosse team played its first game against Kean College in the Knickerbocker Con- ference. The results were not available at press time. Seven home matches are planned for this season. The men's tennis team had tryouts and made cuts down for its final squad. They_ also played yesterday, in Bridgeport, Conn. Ditto on the results deal. Crew starts Sunday with an away contest against Lowell and Manhattan Colleges. It is the first of five away races on the schedule. Crew also has two home races on tap. The President's Cup Regatta is set for April 26. Other sports came to a close. The hockey team ended its season with a 10-6 record. The men's and women's swimming and diving teams concluded their schedules with fine showings, team-wise and personal, in the Metros. The lady hoopsters also concluded their season, while indoor track ran its last leg for the 1985-86 season. So for everybody who lost from that trip home,, from spring break excitement or just lost-plenty has happened and is going to happen here at Marist.

In some ways, the same can be said for Marist College as of. late. Marist was the only school at the - first round of NCAA ·champfon- - ships in Baton Rouge without designer t-shirts for sale. It wasn't uncommon for members of the Marist faithful in Baton Rouge to hear the question, "Where is Marist College?" A Marist fan would respond by saying. "in Poughkeepsie, NY." "Where's Poughkeepsie?" "Seventy-five ·miles north of New York City.". Fox followers were waiting for someone to ask "Where is New· York. City?," but the question never came. The Marist men's basketball· team earned the respect of college basketball fans and Georgia Tech in their 68~53 loss to the Yellow Jackets. • The Georgia Tech team and spectators at the game had only positive remarks about the Foxes. The 10,000 spectators showed their appreciation by applauding Marist as the team entered the walkway to the lockerroom. All-American Rik._Smits? Center Rik Smits may have established himself as an All- American candidate with his game- high 22 points against the Yellow Jackets. • • •• The other fans, when question- ed about Marist, mentioned how great the center was. • • "The big guy is going to be good." That's what I heard over and over again from other· spec- tators. "What, only . a sophomore?" • . . The turning point in the game was when Smits picked up his fourth foul. The call drew boos from the crowd. He was forced to sit, and a Marist 38-37 lead becaine . a 54-42 deficit after Tech guard Mark Price hit five strais!ht . jumpers. Price stole the sh~w at this point, hitting jumpers from all po~itions oli the perimeter. He finished with• a team high 20 points. • • Smits quickly drew his fifth (oul when he re-entered the contest. As he walked off the court, the 10,000 people in attendance gave him a standing ovation. Smits had an uneasy chore in guarding seven-foot All-American John Sally. Sally was held to only 13 points and did not play well on the offensive end of the floor. The big other difference in the game was that Georgia Tech shot 60 percent from the field while Marist was only near the 40 percent clip. Georgia Tech had 20 tur- novers while Marist had 19.

Two other Marist seniors, defenseman Craig Thier and winger Curt Hawkes, each scored a goal in their final game as collegiate players. Two normally defensive-minded defensemen also tallied points against Stony Brook. Sophomore defenseman Rick Race, who had just one goal and five assists in the 1985-86 season, got close enough to the Stony Brook goal to score _two goals. Another blueliner, freshman Tom "Fridge" Nesbitt, who had no goals or assists on the season, made up for lost time by scoring one goal arid assisting on two that came an automatic bid to the others. sentfromtheRutgersgamehadex- NCAA's.: ._ . , _ The l~t regular season game cuses-for not being there, but ac- The Marist Red Foxes were off against Wagner saw only eleven cording to head coach Jim Peelor, to the NCAA's for the first time in Matist players in action as the some others didn't. . their young five-year stay as a Divi- • Foxes • lost 9-5.
