Basically, as the Food Guy, it's my responsibility to mull over what I have heard. I politely listen to each request, and I then choose to either follow-up or not to follow- up onthe suggestion. From the very beginning of this semester, the consistent weekly suggestion has been Andy's Place. This week's review is based upon my visit to Andy's Place, lo- cated. at 45 Dutchess Place, under the railroad bridge, in the city of Poughkeepsie. • I'm not going to try to hide any- thing .here ... I really, really like this place. I'm not too sure what I should pin down as being the most attrac- tive factor, but this is a GREAT place. . A restaurant specializing· in serving lunch· and dinner, Andf s Place_ provides a_ relaxing atmo- sphere where you can grab almost any type of food or drink. The restaurant itself is quite large. When you walk in the door, you are greeted by a room that contains a bar, 15 bar stools and table_ seat- ing for 20. • (Now, that's only one room.) Off to the left, a doorway leads you the "dining room". There has to be close to 15 tables that can seat up to four. (My point is that this place is pretty big. Considering the fact that you enter a reriovated home, there is plenty of seating and plenty of room.) I put some parenthesis around the dining room because Andy's, .

Here's a touch of criticism or a suggestion for a future visit ... have the french fries served on the side. If you don't, Andy's serves the french fries on top of the sandwich, yet under the gravy. Do you see what I mean? If you don't enjoy fairly drenched french fries, and I know some of you do, then be sure to re- quest otherwise.

"I know that I grew up a lot and learned so much about myself in these past few years. Marist has prepared me well." Hane is a psychology/special education major and has several job interviews set up for next year. While Hane will be stepping di- rectly into the work world, other seniors are preparing themselves for graduate school or are getting ready to take a year or two off before they begin their careers. Whatever the case may be, at this point, most seniors are busy preparing for their futures. "Graduation means that you have to leave some things behind and make a transition into the rest of your life," said James Muraco, nior English major. "I've heard quite a few people say that they will be going." Aside from this, Senior Week, which begins after finals, will be a week of booze cruises and clam bakes as well as the Senior Formal. The week will come to an end · as the graduating seniors of 1995 assemble on Leonidoff field at the Marist College 49th Commence- ment on May 20, l 995. The guest speaker at this year's Commencement will be Ray Kelly, a former New York City Police Commissioner. Although Diane Sawyer and Paul Newman were both invited as guest speakers for the Commence- ment, they both declined to attend. Some seniors have expressed "It would be nice to -f,iave.apopular guest speaker, but that isn't what matters at this point. I'm just glad we 're graduating. " - -Heather Scott, senior another senior who will be graduat- ing this year. Muraco, who played football at Marist for four years is very excited about the many events that have been prepared for the seniors to bring the Class of 1995 together for a few last memories. "River Day was great," he said, "I got to see a lot of the people I had lost touch with over the years. It bought back a lot of memories." River Day which was held on Friday, April 21, was the beginning of the end for some seniors; a day when they would begin to say good- bye to their undergraduate years and prepare for the rest of their lives. However, the fun isn't over yet. disappointment over the choice for this year's guest speaker because they are _riot familiar with his noto- riety, while others are just glad to be graduating. Heather Scott, another senior psychology major expressed her opinion on the subject. "It would oe nice to have a popular guest speaker, but that isn't what matters at this point. I'm just glad we're graduating." Every senior who walks off the field on May 20, will be taking with them a personal strength that they have attained through the years at On Friday, May 5, many of the Marist and will be facing the world senior ladies of Marist College will with a new perspective. be having lunch with Marilyn "I've made some great friends Murray, President Murray's wife. at Marist and I have lots of good ''This seems to be a very popu- memories" said Scott, "but I know larevent," said Margaret Ryan, ase- that I'm ready to move on." \•t~~f~:£~~,q~~if/ br~ch~f SpeciaLServices)_ •• are ..• -DQ! ,~ rreRt.P~g~s.tory (;Q()l!egesclcro~s required. to. take an.· exam given by cou~tl)inuslead popplar guidebooks")' ·•··special ·services. ··.Jn addition, Coo 0 • soniaintd some inaccuracies. in the .· per told The Circlethe students in so@:~'5,9p9tes •• i • <· /••·•··< LD~P()ftensubmittheirSATscores, • ./I.ind~ C:::ooper, head of Special • along with thier results of the Services; s~ke to.The Ci.rcle Mon., \1/echs.ler Adult Intelligence Test, and May 1 to correctthese inaccuracies. , scores of their achievement tests in .. _ .. -Spec:ial • Services students are not reading, writing and math. • Cooper only comprised of learning disabled. said these LDSP students apply adults but also. physicaUy disabled. through this program, and said the The aJ1iCle stated thataU th~ students student's SAT scores are considered in Special Services were exluded from but not ~s much as they would be submitting SAT scores because they through· regular admissions.

Now, we are 16 days away from graduation and from ending a great lifetime of memories. We all came to Marist with expectations of greatness. We also came here to get an education not only in a major field of study but also in life. Over the years, we have gotten quite an education. Along with this education we built up a lifetime of nostalgia. Memories that will for- • ever bum in our minds until our death. • • They're the kind of things you will think of every time you hear or see "Marist". They are the things that you will tell your children about when they are preparing for college. It's strange and frightenening to think that come May 20 all of these little, insignificant instances at Marist will become fond remembrances of a life we've left behind. • No matter how many times we've bitched and complained about administration, poli- cies, whatever, Marist will still hold a place in our hearts. Somewhere during the all-nighter and the studying, we all learned something about life, love, sex, drugs, rock-n-roll. - We learned that life is not always fair. That people sometimes have their lives ripped from them too early 1n life. Some of us experienced how love can hurt time and time again.· Some found love that will last them forever. --- Many of us learned that sex is good, more than once. Others found that sex i~ overrated and that Marist was nottheu-'tiine to dabble in.the taboo.,.:,. • .. ·.•; • • •• •• Well, then there ·are th.os·e who experienced drugs, thought they _were g<iOd and found a calm way of life with them. But, others found through countless moments ·of altered con- sciousness, that drugs are not meant for them, • And we experienced the musical movement kno\1{11 as '!grunge." . Ii came and affected the music we listened to, the way we dressed, the way we talked, the w_aywe danced. Then it fizzled. • • • • -- Within these various moments of realization, we experien~ed soine things mtich doser to home. Perhaps closer to our hearts, we watched many of our Marist memories disinte- grate over four years. . . . .. •• We saw the Asylum on North :Road tom down along with Skinner's, We watched Pizzigalli construction put up the newTownhouses fa about three months .. Then laughed when we moved in and saw they were falling' apart. , Some of us took the l~t Canterbury van ride a year ago. . • · - We watched the erections of the Dom_e in the Student Center and wondered: Why? . We watched Marist admit too many freshmen each year, and wondered whei::e they would live - Then, we all got shafted for housing and had to fight for houses off.:Campus. • We were caught in Nite Cap raids ~ more than mice. • • We've watched the green near the Student Center be seeded, dug tip, reseeded, dug up· again... . _ . • And who can forget the condom issue? Or Stinfest after Sunfest? • How can you forget your freshmen year crush? • Or that first time you went to a party and didn't know a soul? Who can forget the death of Kurt Cobain? Or the day we watched the press conference when Magic Johnson announced he .was HIV positive? ·We·watched as our generation became.infected with the deadly disease; In any way you remember Marist, it is yours to keep locked away in a treasure box which you hold the key to; ··And any time you want to relive the time spent at this ins ti tu~ tion, you only need unlock it. • • Within the box of treasures ~e embarrassl.ng moments, secrets of loves past, frjends, parties ... And they are all yours. • . It's reassuring to know that these treasures are yours, and yours alone. . But, the. magic in them.is that someone at Marist remembers them too. There's a bond there that can never be broken.The friends you make in college will last the test of time. The g009, the ~ad, the embarrassing moments are yours and you made· them. I know, personally, my treasures are golden and abundant. Leaving Marist puts so many aspects of your life into perspective. • . ! • I know I'm leaving Marist with fond memories of relationships found, lost and re- gained. My memories are stored deep in my heart and I know I only need to call a friend to unlock them. • I guess you never truly_appredate what you have until you have to let it go. This isn't a time to say goodbye to Marist, it is a time to embrace the life that awaits you. This editor has written her last column for The Circle. It's time to let someone else take the helm and hopefully, they will leave with the same fond memories of Marist that I have. The Chief has let the ink dry from her pen to start a new page in life. Now it's time to party! Congrats Class of '95! Remember, during Senior Week, ~•Don't spill when you drink, don't choke when you smoke." And Marist, thanks for the memories. It's been a blasL A big shout of Thanks goes out to the following people who have shaped my life in some twisted way: 94-95 Circle Staff- You guys have.been great, but you made my life a living hell (Just kidding).

Girls leave lasting inil>.ioµ by CINDY BOITICELLO • • • Staff Writer " .. .I spent four years prostrate _ to the higher mind, got my paper and I was free," Indigo Girls lead singer, Emily Saliers, sang as a handful of Marist Students jumped on the stage to dance. On Tues., Apr. 25, Indigo Girls duo Emily Saliers and Amy Ray played to a nearly sold-out crowd in the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie. I have to admit that I am still jealous of those people who got on stage. However, my dream came true when I met Indigo Girls after the show. After waiting over two hours I found myself face to face with Saliers and Ray. Shaking as I asked them for their autographs, I had suddenly forgot everything I had ever wanted to say to them. "Were you okay with all those people jumping on stage?" I asked Saliers. "I thought it was cool," the soft-spoken soprano said. Remembering that my friend and I threw two shirts to them on stage, I asked, "did you two get the shirts we threw up on stage?" Saliers looked up at me and said, "the Marist shirts? Yeah, we got them. Thank-you." I was so elated! Saliers and Ray really were just as sweet as they came across on stage. My only regret was that my tape recorder and camera were in thecar; ;,;,,- ·-·-·;;:;'. After seeing five Indigo Girls concerts in the last IO months, it • does get a little difficult to judge of them. However, I can honest_ly say that their show in Poughkeepsie tremely pricey, but the food and the dining experience should be fantastic: (Here's a hint. .. • if you're planning on making reservations for February 14, make your call no iater than January 1.) Where to take you're parents . It's totally underrated be- cause at some point everyone at Marist will give it a try, but I strongly suggest the River Sta- tion. In the Spring, around 7:30 in the evening, the River Station provides an ideal setting to enjoy some the area's most well pre- pared food. _ The wine list is outstanding and so is the view. (A runner up to either of the two previous categories could be Mariner's Harbour.) (A elassy, on the river restau- rant provides some of the best seafood in Dutchess County. Hands down, the deck dining is superb.) Best happy hour ... I've put a great deal of - thought into this and I think the food and drink at Berties is far beyond any of its competitors.
