Making their way down the crowded prison corridor to the of- . fice where they work, a group of college ·. students, : majoring in social work, ,is greeted by friends they have made over the past several months.

Interning as. social workers at Green Haven Correctional Facili- ty, in East Fishkill, N.Y., the five Marist College seniors say work-, ing at the maximum security facility's Pre-Release Center, for the past.-seven months, has been an invaluable, eye-opening ex- perience. Camille Piccininni, 2i, and Elaine Midulla, 23, said they have come to grips with most of their. fears since their first day at Green haven, and have since changed their minds about what prison life and inmates are like. · "SometiIµes television can give you a distorted view of what prison is really like. I know before I went to Green Haven, I thought the guards were all corrupt, · and the inmates were probably all brutes ready to attack one another. and us too," Piccininni said. •'The guys have been great, and we've made friends with many. Most of them feel protective toward us." Although she's found the past several months an invaluable !ear- · ning experience, Piccininni said overcoming her initial fear of go- ing to ·a prison and not knowing what to expect was a major obstacle for her. ~ ."I'll never forget the first day we went. We were driving along on this country road. I was admir- ing the scenery and wasjust star- ting to relax, when all of a sudden · I turned and there was this huge cement wall practically on top of us," Piccininni said. "It looked so ominous. I was terrified. I'm glad I got over it." Midulla said the fundamental reason for the Pre-Release Center and for the intern's participation, is to prepare inmates for an ap- pearance before a parole board. "The concept of the center is bas- ed on the idea of peer counseling, inmates helping inmates, and is inmate staffed and managed," Midulla said. · According to Andrea Jordan, 22, a major part of the time spent by the interns at_ the facil~ty, Continued on page 10 ' '.I ________ ._ ___ ... ____________________ ... 111111119 __________ -:-- _ __,_ __ . :-"'."'------ ► k ,· i. --•Page 2- THE CIRCLE -April S, 1984 Marist p_oll shows split by Carl MacGowan . · A new poll conducted _by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion indicates that Democratic presidential can- didate Gary Hart's "new ideas" may not be enough against the ex- perience of his chief rival, former vice-president Walter Mondale. When · asked which candidate has "new ideas for the country," 59 percent of the poll's respondents picked Sen. Hart. However, 77.2 percent of the respondents identified Mondale . as having "the background and · experience to be President." The respondents had been read a list of statements and were asked whether each one applied more to Hart or Mondale. . Most of the respondents also said Mondale has more ability to handle an international crisis and , "has the best chance of beating · President Reagan in November." According· to the poll, 25 per- cent of those polled chose the jobs · and unemployment . problem . as. the rriost important issue of· the campaign; the economy was se- cond with 23.9 percent, and the nuclear buildup and arms race was the major concern for 16.2 percent of those polled. The likely Democratic primary voters were asked to rate Presi- dent Reagan's effectiveness as ex- cellent, good, fair, or poor. The . · results were compared to finding from May, 1983, September, 1983, and January, 1984. - While 41.2 percent judged Reagan's performance as good or excellent in January, only 27.4 percent gave him the same rating last month: The percentage of voters who considered the ·presi-- · dent's performance "poor" grew from 25.S percent in January to 38.S percent in March.-.·. _.,, .. ,. < Butterfields · South.

As a residence assistant in Leo Hall for the past three semesters Phillips said that he's had to fill out weekly reports on the pro- blems and concerns that he senses among the freshmen students on his floor. Covering everything .from dorm life to the way the residents are affected by policies or issues on campus, Phillips said that he's had a good idea of what needs to be done to change many of the problem-situations he's en- countered for most , of his one- and-a-half years on the job . Those weekly reports, Phillips added, are copied and sent to Dean of Student Affairs Gerard Cox, the Rev. Richard LaMorte, the assistant dean of student af- fairs, and Robert Heywood, the director of housing. Phillips says he's convinced that the ad- ministration i•s already aware of his desire to act as a com- municator for the students. "I'm confident that my input through those reports has already shown the administration how concerned I am with what goes on on this campus," he said: In terms of class officers, Phillips.said he was surprised that Galanti had abolished the Council of Class Officers, a move that meant that class officers would simply report to the (ull-scale C.S.L. meetings rather than hav- ing a meeting with Galanti on their own. "The class officers didn't seem to have much formal input at those broad meetings, so after a while they just stopped going altogether," said Phillips. "What kind of communication is that?"

Eastwood predicts that distribution of Mosaic will begin on or before April 27 in Donnelly Hall and the cafeteria. The Mosaic, or the Literary , Quarterly as it was first called, is a literary and art magazine com- posed solely of- material attained from the students, faculty and alumni of the Marist community. The publication was begu~ in . 1961 by. George Sommer, an English professor at Marist. He -said•'that there was a neecl for a ·literary joun1al · on the Marist camP--"!;. With the exception of a few years, the journal has been a yearly tradition · of the Literary Soc..4dv. . · . In keeping · with a .tradition started last year, as well as com- bating inflation, the Mosaic will have a price tag· of 25 cents. "In the past, the Mosaic was given away to the students, but printing costs and the needs of the Literary Society have changed, making it difficult to give the magazine away,'' said Eastwood. The activities office _alloc~ted the Literary Society $1,000 to produce the Mosaic. But this edi- tion will cost between $1,200 and $1 ;250. The additional $200-$250 came from a book raffle, in which a $15 Walden Books _gift cer- . tificate. was given away, dona- tions and the cost of purchase, he noted. Getting the Mosaic out before May will be an accomplishment in itself. In the past, the Mos~ic was not released until finals week or even the following year. Going through the material and deciding what should. be printed takes a great deal of time, said Eastwood. All the material was in by mid- February; and there was quite a bit of material to go through, ac- cording to Pat Nichols, a member of the Literary Society. "There is a lot of talent out there, too bad we can't utilize more of it," said Nichols. The arduous task of sifting through the material was per- Cuomo signs for TAP increase by Jane Scarchilli Abill which will give some New York state residents additional_ financial aid for college from the State Tuition Assistance Program was signed by Governor Mario Cuomo this week. The TAP Parity Bill calls for three major award changes to take effect in the 1984-85 school year. Students who currently receive TAP are also eligible for these increases. ~ Under the new policy, the max- imum TAP award increases from $2,200 per year to $2,700; the minimum award increases from , $250 per year to $300; and the in- come ceiling for TAP eligibility increases from $25,000 to $29,000 in family net taxable income. According to Karen J. Atkin, director of financial aid, approx- imately 1,200 to 1,400 Marist students currently receive TAP. · "It is estimated that the in- crease for each student should amount to an· additional $500 in state tuition aid," Atkin said. The TAP Parity Bill also asked for increases over the next four years. The legislation was only passed for one year and will come up for vote in subsequent years. If passed, the maximum award will increase to $3,100 in September 1985, $3,500 in 1986 and $3,900 in 1987. The income celing will also be · raised to $33,000 in September 1985, $37,000 in 1986 and $40,000 in 1987. Atkin said that TAP was o,riginally created in 1974 to pro- vide New York state residents with a choice and access to the colleges in the state they really wanted to attend. "TAP was supposed to close the gap between public an~ private schools and make private colleges more affordable. Due to inflation, TAP had been helping fewer and fewer families in the last few years," Atkin said. formed at editing sessions, at which time the members of the Literary Society critiqued work. • "Some work made it right away, while other work was sent back to the author for revision," said Santa Zaccheo, associate editor of the Mosaic. · The actual type of material printed in the Mosaic has changed from year to year. Poetry about love and death was popular in the past. There were also a few years in which prose was the mainstay of the magazine. This year there is an even distribution of material.

If midterm grades are supposed to let the students know how they're doing in a course, how is a blanket C or an' N.G. going to help? We understand that physical education classes are not given mid-term grades, and see no reason why they should. We also realize why a pro- fessor cannot give a grade if an emergency situation comes up, ·such as if he becomes ill. But when students receive two or three N.G.s for classes in which they would have earned good grades, their cumulative averages are lower than they expected. If these are grading procedures that faculty members are going to take advantage of, why give midterm grades at all?

They begin in winter with a cold, but relaxed struggle. The spring sees tension mount, leading to the summer, when· riots convene to choose respective .. gang leaders. As the temperature falls in October, the remaining contenders cool their rhetoric in search of a bipartisan constituency. · The calendar· indicates that we are now in the second phase of the race, and the Democratic can- didates are showing. the signs of staying out in the sun too long. It is getting· nasty. As Ronald Reagan continues his attack by running his campaign in the guise of official . business, the Democrats scrap in the mire and accumulate arsenals of mudpies. Even the Rev. Jesse Jackson has been pushed into the fray with the revelation that he has an in- · teresting way of char_acterizing the ethnicity of New York City .. Nonetheless, Jackson seems to be · making a comeback and may not be simply exhausting the Federal · matching funds he recently earn- ed. Jackson won the applause race during last week's debate at Columbia with his eloquent, sen- si_ble approach to nuclear arms and civil rights. When neither Walter Mondale nor Gary Hart would promise a no-first-strike policy in Europe, Jackson assured the audience that his administration would not adopt such a policy. While none of the candidates clearly won (so what else is new), Jackson gained back some lost ground. . Meanwhile, Hart seems to have regained his status as the dark horse. Hart, who attained the position of front-runner with his upset of Jesse Jackson in New Hampshire, still has trouble in in- dustrial states like Michigan and Illinois. Hart fashions his campaign as one of courage and change strug- gling against stagnancy. But his ideas, like his strategy, are really not that new. He has been a fine Senator, but his attempt to forge a new angle toward the issues is more exaggeration than innova- tion. For instance, his proposal to impose a worldwide ban on the production of plutonium as a means of ending the nuclear arms race is undeniably different, but probably impracticable. It would more likely be a nuclear-age Pro- hibition and spawn new techni- ques in smuggling contraband. Walter Mondale has responded to Hart's challenge by claiming to be the creator of virtually every · great idea the world has known. He has repeatedly stated that he was the first to propose a nuclear freeze, although the holder of that distinction is probably Albert Einstein. (Unfortunately, Mr. Einstein has yet to throw his hat into the ring.) Mondale has also taken the humanitarian tack, suc- cessfully bringing the unlikely issue of child-care for working mothers into the public con- sciousness. One particularly incongruous aspect of the Democratic race is Hart's and Mondale's attmepts to depict each other as the next- worst thing to Ronald Reagan. Hart is attempting to place Mon- dale in the Reagan camp on the Central America issue, while Mondale questions Hart's com- mitment to civil rights. The fight - came to a head during last week's debate when the two contenders heatedly asked one another about the issue. Jackson came to the rescue, perceptively pointing out the . front-runners' overin- dulgences in trying to distinguish themselves. Any move by a Democratic challenger to model himself as THE best candidate is, by now, an exercise in hyperbole. They disagree on the specifics, but are basically agreed on the main issues of nuclear arms, foreign policy and budget priorities. A humble suggestion to the Democrats: re-focus your atten- tion to Reagan. The point is to get him out of office. Discussion of any other topic amounts to mere- ly talking about the weather.

I wonder what Republicans would say if Jimmy Carter were responsible for Reagan's record deficits. Finally, Mr. Luna correctly points out that the four wars in which twentieth century America has been engaged were under the leadership of Democratic Presidents. However, he neglects to mention that the great majority of Republicans, both in Congress and the nation, strongly sup- ported United States involvement in each war. Mr. Luna also gives the deceitfo\ imp1:ession that the Republican/ ,Pafty··.opposed our: role in the Vietnam War. As a stu- dent of history knows, it was from within the Democratic Party that the significant opposition to the Vietnam War developed. Nearly all Republicans in Con- gress firmly backed our participa- tion in the Vietnam conflict. Although United States' involve- ment in this Southeast Asian war ended during his presidency, Richard Nixon took four long years to completely withdraw all American forces. As a result, . thousands of American soldiers died during Nixon's first term in office. · Mr. Luna warns that "Democrats will try to smear the Republicans' record over the last four years." Instead of worrying about what the Democrats do, Mr. Luna should watch for half- truths and inaccuracies of his own. Charles Thompson is a sophomore accounting major.

I believe it typifies the capabilities of the small sc,een, · and almost (and I stress almost) makes shows like "Hotel" and runner up "Automan" · a little · more bearable. I may regret say- ing that.

A short walk from Marlst) Column One by John Bakke , It's not something I like to ad- mit, not anything I'm at all proud of. And it would have remained my own dark, gloomy secret had I not blurted it our during lunch last week. "All right," I said, trying to keep my voice low so as not to at- tract attention. "You obviously know something's wrong, though I can't imagine how, you could have found out." Donna - with· whom I was having lunch - gave me one of those what-the-hell-are-you- talking-about looks. "What the hell are you talking about?" she said. I swallowed hard, twice, trying to summon the courage I needed to reveal one of my most intimate shortfalls. "I hope we can still be friends," l said, "because I didn't vote in the Council of Student Leaders elections.'' The hush that quickly fell over every nearby table indicated that I might have spoken too loudly. "Did you hear that?" said a fat girl with acne. "Can you believe?" Her friends nodded as- sent. "Some people," noted one. '' And shows up in public,•• added another. Apparently fearing that others might think they were with me, they all got up and moved to another table. I knew Donna would be more understanding. "You swine," she said. "How could you? Voting is democracy's most sacred honor. We all must get out and vote. Cast our ballot. Stand ... " and by this time she was standing " ... and he counted."· . "Hear, hear," said someone a few tables away •. '.'Bravo~."- ., ., . At this point I knew what a fool I was for not voting. For the first__ . by Bill Coleman Determined not to fall into a "sophomore slump," the second Ip from Missing Person, "Rhyme & Reason;'' defines the group's distinctive sound while managing · to take the listener through a variety of musical paths. "Rhyme & Reason" becomes indisputable proof that. the "persons" have ·grown since the release of their gold Ip, "Spring Session M," which spawned such hits as "Destination Unknown" and "Word;" This, in part, is due to the group's taking over of the production chores along with Quincy Jones protegee, Bruce Swedien. The Ip kicks off with , "The Closer That You Get" and upbeat tune reminiscent of the first lp's. "It Ain't None Of Your Business." Then in walks "bass- poppin" Patrick O'Hearn on the tracks "Give" (the current single) and "Now Is The Time (For Love)." Whereas in the past, O'Hearn's bass Hnes were somewhat stifled, throughout many of the cuts the rhythmic hooks re_volve around his in- strument and Terry Bozzio's elec- tric/acoustic percussion, resulting in a more definitive sound. "Sur- render Your Heart" carries a ballad-like melody very similar to the The's "Uncertain Smile." "Clandestine People" recaptures those days of old with Dale Boz- zio's hiccuping vocals let loose and the instrumentation frenetic and quick-paced. For the most part Bozzio has chosen to put a clamp on her accredited hiccup and experiment with her vocal range. April 5, 1984 · THE CIRCLE· Page 7 The vote time, I realized how important campus elections really are, and I now intend to do so something about it. The first thing is to support the candidate of my choice. If I had it to do over again, I'd work on the "students in action" campaign because I support their platform. After all, there's a long, proud history of inactive board members here at Marist, and I for one think these students' inaction will go a long way towards conti- nuing this worth-while tradition. Secondly - and most impor- tantly - I can try to get The Cir- cle and MCR to treat our elec- tions the same way professional news organizations treat "real" elections. If The Circle had, we might have commissioned Lee Miringoff's poll-taking people to do a pre-election survey. Then we could have been right on top of things with headlines like: "Poll reveals 95 percent are undecided in today's vote." And MCR could do exit poll~ ing. "With just five percent of the votes counted," we'd hear, hud- dled in groups around radios, "MCR is projecting Joe Boxstuf- fer the winner in the hotly con- tested race for president. "Our exclusive exit poll reveals Joe's strong showing among 18- to 22-year-old men, with a somewhat weaker percentage among women of the same age range. Surprisingly, Ed "Vote for me" Edwards, Boxstuffer's op- ponent, took a full 100 percent of the usually-pivotal 35-to-50 group by getting both votes cast. "What's that, Walter? OK. We're going now to Edwards' election_headquarters where Nick Newsman is standing by with the losing candidate, who seems ready to concede defeat, ·Harold?'' "Thanks a lot, Roger. We're here with Ed Edwards and Ed, with five percent in, it looks bad." "That's right, Nick," says the grief-stricken Edwards. "But a lot can happen in the other 38 votes." "A point well taken. What about our exit poll's indication of your stunning sweep of the 35- to 50-year-olds ?" "That must have been my parents. They're both continuing education students.'' • "So despite parental support, there will be no victory party here tonight, but we'll now go to Fred Fox at Joe Boxstuffer's head- quarters, where the festivities are already underway. Fred?" · "Thank you, Harold. I'm stan- ding in Boxstuffer's dorm room here in Champagnat, where his campaign worker is celebrating the end of a long and tiresome fight. And here's the candidate now. Tell me Joe, how does it feel to have won?" "It feels great, Fred, just great. I'd like to thank all the guys on the fourth floor who voted for me, and especially the ones who did it for nothing," says the vic- torious Boxstuffer. "And you know the old political maxim: 'As goes fourth floor Champagnat, so goes Benoit.' " "Excuse me, Fred. This is Walter at election center," says Walter, interrupting. "It seems that several consecutive votes have gone to Edwards, so it ap- pears the outcome is in doubt once again.'' With all this to look forward to, you can bet l'l\ never miss voting in another. school .election . . . And if I like it enough, I'Ir vore a · few times. ---------------------- 'Rhyme and reason' "Right Now" opens up side two with the female Bozzio re- questing her love to verify his feelings: "Right now, I'm only gu~ssing and right now, I don't know if you're for real. So let me know right now, don't keep me guessing ... " As these Zappa School of Music graduates take the listener .through each track one can hear the instrumental expertise through the crisp arrangement both vocally and rhymically. These become apparent on a favorite "All Fall Down." While "Racing Agai_nst Time" (complete with alarm clock sound FX) becomes a v~hicle for Terry Bozzio, Warren Cuccurillo (guitars) and Chuck Wild (keyboards) through climaxing the song by alternating the · rhythmic pacing from funky to melodic to frantic it also is the perfect lead in to the effective ballad, "Waiting For a Million Years." The album concludt!s with "If Only For a Moment"· (the lp's weakest track) that seems to lack the hook and drive of the other tracks but does end on an upbeat. "Rhyme and Reason" was an Ip worth the wait and as a Missing Persons fan can see the progres- sion from a cover of The Doors' "Hello, I Love You" to the pre- sent. The L.A.-based band manages four hit singles with their last Ip and should fare as well or better with this one. Bits and Pieces "DELIRIOUS" ... Eddie Mur- phy has kept himself quite busy since his departure from Saturday Night Live. Not only is he finishing work on a new movie but he is also recording a track with pop-funkster, Rich James, titled "Party All Night." After his success with "Thriller," producer Quincy Jones will no doubt receive many offers - his latest venture, to produce the upcoming Barbra Streisand Ip. PLEASE DON'T SQUEEZE ... Chris Rifford and Glen Tilbrook (post Squeeze) will try their luck on their own with a new album set for a mid-April release. Other new lp's due in April include those from: Joe Cocker, Ultravox, Tina Turner,. and Don Henley.

WITH A CONTRIBUTION "With this new technology the only limits in sight are the limits of the human mind," said Ribaudo. by Nancy Champlin The Marist College Junior Class is planning to compile a directory of its members who have remained at Marist since their freshman year, according to Roger Romano, junior class president. The Junior Register will consist of the names, majors and hometowns of the class of 1985, along with information of interest about them. "It's a tribute to them for coming this far," Romano said. In addition to the basic statistics, other information that might be included is future plans, · how each would like to be remembered, likes and dislikes and embarrassing moments. "It's a National Lampoon type thing, everything goes," Romano said. Romano is in charge of the pro- ject along with Colleen Dwinell, editor. The staff will be made up of representatives from each of the townhouses, Benoit, Gregory and all of the off-campus hous- ing. The project is being financed by the junior class. Romano said he hopes that the publication will be free but if there is any cost it will be minimal. Questionnaires , should be distributed to the junior class soon, according to Dwinell. The students' responses will determine the exact concenc, size and cost of the Register. "It would be good if everyone contributed to it," Dwinell said. She said she expects the Register to be ready by late April or early May, depending on how quickly the responses are return- ed. A directory of incoming freshmen distributed to the students in 1981 inspired the idea for the Junior Register. Both Romano and Dwinell agree that the Junior Register could become a tradition at Marist and be adopted by future junior classes. "It keeps the junior class unified so that everyone knows where everyone else is," said Dwinell. calls on my bill that I hadn't made." American Telegraph and Telephone Corporation has designed a credit card system which uses a plastic card inserted into a computer in the phone to complete calls, but according to Edney the system would be "too expensive to install." Edney said that every phone would have to be replaced costing a phenomenal amount to the company, and eventually to the customer. As of right now New York Telephone is trying to trace the il- legal calls made but the effort is unlikely to result in any one ma- jor arrest. "Students should pro- tect their numbers and respect the privacy of other peoples numbers," Edney said. According to a student who wished not to be named, "This isn't stealing; it's too simple to be a crime." Spring fever to hit Marist on Saturday by Eileen Harris Roller skating, barbecue, and a dinner-dance are among the events that have been scheduled for Marist College's annual Spr- ing Weekend, Friday April 6, and Saturday, April 7. The events begin on Friday with "Campus Skates," when students can trade their I.D. for a pair of roller skates. from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. On Saturday their will be a field day sponsored by the Inter-House Council and the Commuter Union, said Andrew Crecca, one of the chairmen for this event. Involving the Commuter Union in this event is a change· from · previous years, "Part of the idea of involving the Commuter Union this year is to bring the com- muters and resident students closer together,'' said Crecca. The field day, commonly called 'Spring Fever Day," will consist · of a barbecue, various events such as the tug-of-war and the music of "Funhole," a band consisting of Marisi College students, said Crecca. "Spring Fever Day" brings · Marist College out in front of the Campus Center to play frisbee, football, and anything else that can be considered fun. This leads up to the major event for Spring Weekend, the Dinner- Dance. At 7:30 p.m. there will· be a cocktail party in the pub for those people attending the Dinner- Dance. At 9 p.m. the semi-formal Dinner-Dance will begin, with a Prime Rib meal and a full cash bar, in the dining room, said Crecca. The band that is suchcduled to play is called "Naked Truth." This Dinner-Dance is sponsored by the C.U.B. and costs $25 per couple. Sound ___ _ Continued from page 7 newly recruited drummer Hugh Burnham has been cited as buddy- ing with the members of ABC.

Midulla said another important part of the students' two days a week at the prison is spent in one- to-one counseling. "Many times the guys just want to know what's going on in the outside world.

Tom Kolomechuk, 21 and the only male in the group, said the benefits of the program are two- fold. "Students benefit from the experience and the college credits they earn, and the inmates get the chance to communicate with young people from the outside," Kolomechuk said. "Prison is a de-humanizing experience, and what we try to do is bring life from the outside back in with us." According to Derrick and Slick, two tall, well-built . inmate counselors, approximately in their mid-twenties, the inmates look forward to visits made by · student interns.

' For over 50 years, _Pressman has been exp·ouncling the virtues, of socialism. · The retired electrician lives in the village of Ellenville, ap- proximately 25 miles northwest of Poughkeepsie, with his wife and two children. At 7li Pressman has not lost hts enthusiasm. Energy, straining to be let loose, dances behind his still-bright brown eyes. He is anxious to talk about his · views. Clasping his hands behind · his head, he leans his chair . back . and rocks as he talks. Frequently, his hands cut through the air to help emphasize a point. "I feel that, unless we have a socialist revolution soon, we are not going to be here," said Pressman. "The threat of nuclear annihilation is hanging over our · heads. To be able to survive in this jungle of capitalism,, you have to be very strong." · He describes himself as "a guy with convictions who lets them be heard." He said, "People. know that'! am not afraid to stand up for what I believe." Pressman is· heard. His letters to editors of local newspapers are commonplace and . it is not unusual to see him on area street corners handing out leaflets which advocate a new socialist society. Pressman also espouses his : Alfie Weil • hair salon • 354 Main Mall • Poughkeepsie• 452-6712 :, * ss:oo Oft with Student I.D. * - Model-Kate Huggard Photography-~ave Palmer of Hair -·Alfie Weil "On Location" 4:00 · APRIL-9TH FIRESID-E.LOUNGE Ma_ndatory '.Meeting for Anyone wh~ wants Summer or _Fall · internships 4:00 · APRIL 18TH Career Meeting FIRESIDE LOUNGE Professionals, from all major fields, have been invited to come and speak about their .career. views on local radio stations. He said that, although he is surprised by the' number of people who call in to defend him, he has "fought inany, many battles" because of his beliefs. He recalls that once, during a talk show on WEOK, a listener called to say, ''If that Nate Pressman doesn't like it here, I will pay his way to Russia." Pressman said his views are often misunderstood.· "I am not against this coun- . try," he said. "What I am trying to do. is give the country back to the people." Pressman said he first became involved with socialism in 1932, when social conditions ·prompted him to· join the Socialist Labor Party (SLP), a political organization which advocates the . overthrow of the capitalist government and the establish- ment of a classless society in which the workers control the industries and social services. .At the time, Pressman lived in the Bronx. "I used to ride downtown to work and see people going in the garbage to find something to eat," he said. "I saw World War I veterans starving . and freezing, selling apples for five cents. People were being evicted from their homes because they couldn't pay the rent." Pressman recalls the · en- thusiasm he felt during his early days in the SLP. "I thought, heck, the revolution is right around the corner. If anybody had told me in those days that the capitalist system would still be here in 1984, I wouldn't have believed it," he said . In 1982, Presssman ran for a position on Ellenville's Board of Trustees as an SLP candidate and won IO percent of the vote. In 1983, he ran for Mayor of Ellenville and lost. Last year, however, Pressman was expelled from the SLP because of differences with the party's national office in California. Pressman and other local · party members had distributed leaflets which had not been approved by the SLP's national office. Asked if he was angry about being expelled, Pressman said, "I am. It really hurt, having been one of the founders of the local section. I feel really hurt, after having given my best years to the cause." Pressman stressed the fact, though, that he has not given up on socialism because of his differences with the SLP. He said, "Before, when I called radio stations, I would say, "This is Nate Pressman, a member of the Socialist Labor Party and damn proud of it.' Now, I say, 'This is Nate Pressman, a socialist and damn proud of it.' " This year, Pressman said he intended to run for Village Trustee of Ellenville as an in- dependent socialist. However, his health did not permit him to pursue his candidacy. He has had a stroke and, in January, he was hospitalized for heart congestion. His doctor has advised him to slow down. Next year, Pressman intends to run again for the office in Mayor in Ellenville . "I think it is a great honor to be able to walk into the voting booth and cast your vote for a socialist candidate," he said. "It is easy to talk, but action counts.'' Student win.s ad scholarship by Terry Abad Michelle Duquette, a senior majoring in communication arts, has been chosen to receive a scholarship to a five-day seminar on direct marketing in New York City April 16-20. ' Duquette was selected as one of 30 college seniors throughout New York, New Jersey, Penn- sylvania and Connecticut to attend the seminar: · According to Eugene Rebcook, . assistant professor of advertising, '·. . .. ., .,. Duquette received the majority of votes from the selection com- mittee, composed of represen- tatives from schools in the four states and advertising and marketing industry members. "The committee was very favorably impressed with her background in advertising, her G.P.A. and her maturity," said Rebcook. Rebcook, who is also a member of the selection committee, said that D_uquette had very good qualificl}tions for the scholarship.

Duquette credits her ad- vertising background for her selection for the seminar. She has had work experience at the Westchester /Rockland newspap- ers as a graphic artist and was also employed as an advertising coordinator and salesperson at Wiedy's Furniture store in Newburgh. Duquette wants to enter the direct marketing field, a fact which she say'I may have favorably impressed the selection committee. "I know what I want to do as opposed to others who were still unsure," Duquette said. According to Rebcook, the direct marketing field is the fastest growing field in the country. "Their is a great need for college graduates in the field and not enough people to fill the available jobs," said Rebcook. The five-day seminar will take place in conjunction with a Direct Marketing Day on April 19 and is sponsored by Direct Marketing Day in New York and the Direct Marketing Education Foundation Inc. Matt Golonka, also a senior communication arts major, was chosen as an alternate to the seminar. This is the second consecutive year that a Marist student has been selected for this direct marketing program. New Deadline For Writers The deadline for entries in the Marist College Student Writing Award competition has been ex- tended to April 12, according to the sponsors. Awards are to be given in four categories: freshman/sophomore ·literary writing, freshman/sophomore nonfiction, junior/senior literary writing, junior/senior nonfiction. Students may submit a single example of written work compos- ed during the current academic year. Each entry is to be accom- panied by a letter of recommen- dation from a professor. The contest is being sponsor by the Ad Hoc Committee on Writing Across the Curriculum in cooperation with The Circle. Entries should be sent to Pro- fessor David Mccraw, Box C724, Marist. •,:,.. 7 l , , 1 1 1 • 1 ~ 1 , I I I I I --•Page 12_- THE CIRCLE· April 5, 1984 ·Letters-- Continued from page 4 those used on · the Champagnat steps would be the. most durable :,_ • .:,a.~d; cost efficient: The relati_vely ., ·simple construction could be undertaken by the college's own ground maintenance department, eliminating the need or additional expense of hiring an outside con- tractor.

As Poughkeepsie begins to thaw out from the past four wintery months, people begin to slowly start to try to get themselves back , into physically good shape after the months of winter induced inactivity. On the Marist campus, a night won't go by without 40 or 50 people trying to run, jog or walk themselves into fitness. It is springtime and college students want to look good and get into shape. "In the spring you always have an increased number of people coming in wanting to get equipment to use to get into shape after the winter," said Jim Dapp of the Forerunner Running Shop in Poughkeepsie. "Spring is great for sales." Joyce "Skip" Rochette, assistant fitness manager of Poughkeepsie All Sport Fitness and Racquetball Club, has a list of suggestions for a college person who wants to get into good physical shape to follow. Rochette says: 1. Do some cardioascular work. Combine running and walking. Make sure yciu do it at a comfortable pace that allows you to talk. 2. Try using some light weights. Start out slow and make sure you are comfortable. You should not do weights alone without some sort of guidance, 3. Body weight exercises. Do .· some pushups, situps and leg lifts. 4. P\ay frisbee, it is fun_and you use a lot of muscles." ; • · 5. If you know how to swim do it. It is probably one of the best activities you can do. · 6. Watch your diet. Eat good foods. Eliminate fats, salts and caffeine. You just should eat smart and think before you eat. For example, one glass of pasteurized milk has enough salt in it to meet our daily requirement of salt. It is something to think about. 7. Cut down on your alcohol and smoking intake. It might be hard, but if you are serious about getting into shape you'll do it. Instead of having five beers cut down to two. 8. Instead of taking the · elevator, walk up the stairs. You burn calories by doing it and by burning calories you lose weight. 9. Set goals for yourself that are achievable. Instead of trying to lose 25 pounds try to lose five first. · IO. Have a friend work out with you. Misery loves company. They can push you along on days you don't feel like working out." Rochette, who rode across America on a bicycle last year, said these suggestions should put a person on the right track to getting into shape. "The main thing to remember is to start out slow and don't push yourself too much. Just go about it gradually," said Rochette. Marist College Athletic Trainer Glenn Marinelli -· agrees with Rochette. "You have to start out slowly and work your way into good shape gradually. It takes time," said Marinelli. "And if you do get hurt while working out use good judgment. Don't run through an injury when you should stop." Rochette commented that patience is very important when trying to get physically fit. "It takes time and you don't feel like working out sometimes, but in the long run it is worth it," said Rochette. .. ,- WWW Page 14 · THE CIRCLE· Aprll 51983 '84-85 .. preparations be gill for women's basketball by Thom Crosier After a disappointing 12-17 overall record and a loss in the first round of the Cosmopolitan Conference playoffs, the Marist College women's· basketball team is looking forward to next season. Joyce Iacullo, who was leading scorer with 16 points in that con- ference playoff game - her last as a. Red Fox - is the only graduating. senior on the team.

Morning Quarterback John Bakke PlayiQg the Field The acquisition of seven acres of land north of the townhouses and their future use as athletic . fields naturally focuses attention on the athletic fields and facilities here at Marist. Why, it may be asked, will that part of campus geographically farthest from the Mccann Center be used for athletic fields? Two reasons .First of all,athletic fields are desperately needed.Leonidoff is the only decent field on campus and certainly the only one suitable for spectators. known as the football practice field and yes, also known as the overflow· Mccann parking lot now and then. With all the in- tramurals and the prospect of women's field hockey starting, this well-worn field threatens to soon become something of a crater. So more fields are needed, no matter where they might be. · fieldhouse simply won't have enough seating capacity. Several : plans to solve this have been devised. . The first involved putting bleachers in at one or both ends of · the gymnasium, for end zone seating. This, the least expensive plan, would nonetheless cut away part of the indoor track. Another plan would turn the court 90 degrees and install enormous banks of seating from the north and south ends. Kicking and Punching,' . is a · · categorized by degree. But its use by both the soccer 2;000~year-old martial arts sport To become a master, or fifth · and football teams in the fall The second reason is that there's nothing else to do with the land right now, and you aren't about to see Marist pass up a chance to pick up .some adjoining land. Space is, or will soon be, a major problem here. The college can't economically,. expand eastward into Poughkeepsie and the river takes care of any westward ·movement. The best solution, except for the fact that it would be wildly ex- pensive, would expand the building by moving the east wall back and nearly doublng the size of the fieldhouse. Then almost anything could be done with the court, with almost any kind of seating, and the track could be kept. · originating in.Korea. · degree black belt, takes about 35 means a lot of wear_ so much so According to John Dennis, a years to achieve, according to that the lacrosse team has, for the - second-degree black belt at.
