"Early this semester we brought this dilemma to the atten- tion of the Residen_t Director, the Housing Office and · the Maintenance staff. Effective ac- tion has yet to be taken," Kissel said. Heywood said that he is aware of the delays. "I want to move to the point where we are more responsive to students needs," Heywood said. "I definitely do not accept the present system." According to Tarantino, an ef- fort is made to answer a maintenance request within a week. He went on to say that stu- dent use and a lack of pride seem to be major problems. "There is a whole different at- titude in the townhouse area," said Tarantino .. "Studeri.ts are more· out on their own and should generally clean up after themselves. No sooner is housekeeping being done - students mess it up again." Tarantino also said that the ad- ditional $100 that students pay to live in 'the townhouses helps to offset the cost of air conditioning and kitchen utilities. "This ex-· . pense exceeds $100 so students should expect a decrease in ser- vice," said Tarantino. Heywood said that he felt students were getting their money's worth, because it is a nicer ar:ea. '.'But that doesn't dismiss.the fact that there are pro- blems in maintenance," Heywood said. · He · also said that the changeover in the physical . plant has been a good one. "Tarantino has been here only a .short time arid we've see major im- provements," said Heywood .. Tarantino agreed that there have been improvements since he took over the position. ''Many · things have gone by for a long time," Tarantino said. He added th.at he is in the process of hiring a new superintendent for day housekeeping operations. · However, Tarantino said that he needs more cooperation and less interference from Housing. "I would like a review with Hous- ing as to what they expect in various areas and to justify it," said Tarantino.· "If I k'new their requirements and my obligations, it would clear the air." ·Flea market .· lends a hand Vendors from throughout the tri-state area will be selling a wide range of goods including an- tiques, crafts, jewelry and other miscellaneous items at the third annual Friends of Marisr Flea Market scheduled for Saturday, February 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Proceeds from this event will help fund projects for three on- campus groups: the Marist College Commuter Union, the Marist Cheerleaders and Campus Ministry.

While trying to arrange a Marist employee Christmas social, Lapham was told by Petro three months ago that she could not use the McC:ann because of the IBM dance scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 17. According to Quinn, Lapham then tried to book the cafeteria for that weekend, but was told by Yeaglin that the students' Christmas dance was going to be held there. Quinn said that he believes Y eaglin knew she could not use the McCann Center before she met· with Lapham three fnonths ago, and had already reserved the cafeteria for the dance. Then, according to Quinn, she waited until just a month prior to the dance to tell C.U.B. about the change in location. Yeaglin denies having any prior knowledge of the IBM dance or that C.U.R could not use the McCann during the weekend of Dec . 16. Lapham denies ever speaking to Yeaglin about the employee social or saying that Yeaglin had booked the cafeteria at least three months ago for the student dance . Regardless of who, if anyone, is at fault, the student Christmas dance will be held tomorrow night in the cafeteria, and the IBM Christmas dance will be held Saturda · y night in the Mccann Center. Although they will not be held the same night, both dances could not be held in McCann because lBM needs at least a full day to set up for their event, according to Quinn.

" Norman said a radio station would "apply the liberal · arts concept (of learning) " because the - students would research, . writ~, produce and create radio programs. ·General Manager of WMCR Robert LaForty · criticized the current state of broadcasting at Marist's radio station. He said that WMCR has · a small listenership because stud~nt work at the station is strictly extra- curricular. If advanced radio broadcasting students were required to work at the station for grades, said LaForty, the quality of broadcasting would go up as'"' well as the listenership. "New Paltz promotes the college by promoting its station," said LaFony. "Vassar has no communication majors and it has a better station than we do." LaForty added that other college stations receive funding from their college, but WMCR gets money only from the Student Activity Fee. "A college-wide commitment is needed," said Norman, in regard to building his proposed FM · station. He said the station could be a profit-making venture. "(Marist · has) sold 22 of 27 Division One basketball games to WKIP under Marist production. We've made money . We make $700 in commissions . We could do that over our own station and take it ail," he said, referring to the fact that Marist must split commissions with . WKIP on sales and production. Norman proposed that to help in station operation, seniqr 4 charged in car vandalism by Mark Stuart Four Marist College students were charged with third-degree · criminal mischief, a felony, in connection with a Dec. 4 incident in which two cars were damaged at a local service station. Stephen J. Davison, 19, of Woodbury, Conn., and Robert Man ng, 19, of Merrick, N.J., and two 18-year-old students, whose names were not released because of their youthful status, were arraigned before Judge George Marlow and remanded to the Dutchess County Jail in lieu of$100bail. The four were set to appear in court last Monday, but the case was adjourned until Dec. 16. According to Poughkeepsie Town Police, an officer saw the youths walking over cars at the Inspection Store on Delafield Avenue about 1:50 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 4. Upon investigation, the officer found that a 1973 Chevrolet and a 1975 Oldsmobile were dented and the windshield wiper from one of the cars was damaged. student interns from the Arts and Letters and Management Studies divisions could work in the programming and sales promotion areas. The process of establishing a radio station is a long and complex one. A basic license application - Form 301 - asks the FCC for a construction permit to build a station. This form is 30 pages long; it details personal and financial qualifications and how local · needs and, interest will be served by programming. At this point, the FCC would hold a hearing to address the application. If a construction permit is granted, the holder must pass transmitter performance tests before applying for a license. _ The legal fees involved in this were estimated in 1980 to be $5,000. According to Norman's proposal, the cost beyond that point would be $15,000. Should a license be granted, the station can operate for seven years before it must renew its license. The FCC will halt license renewal if there exists any evidence that the station has failed to serve the public interest; an example would be a petition from a citizens group opposing the station's operation. There also exists the possibility that a would-be license might file a "mutually exclusive ap- plication," which claims that the would-be licensee can do a better job of operating the station than the current owners. In this case, the FCC would hold a hearing to make a decision. I j I I j j ·' · 1 J . I j .I I Page 4- THE CIRCI.E - December 15, · 1983 CAMPUS CONED - - - . . ··. , . __ ..._ .

The ~tudents have no way of learning what kind of teacher a professor is like except by word of mouth. The course adviser handout · - sheds no· light on · the different teaching · styles or personality of a professor. How many times have . you heard of two or three professors teaching t _ he same course? It seems that · · these evaluations would · facilitate choosing · the correct instructor for the students•individual needs. . - But all we have now is word of mouth to Judge by. A sort of "Of the students, · by the students" information system. · · · Mr. Toscano said he feels if people who provide · feedback knew . the evaluations would be seen publicly, their input could be "ruined." If the evaluations are anonymou · s, how could the input be ruined? Now the CSL is planning · to have evaluations of it own: a sort of "Of the students, by the students" venture. Will the Powers That Be stand by and be outdone? Or will ~hey stop fooling them- selves and the students by believing In- formation on professors is privileged for themselves. The students, above all, have a RIGHT to - know. · Be · merry . . It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. - · .

And don't forget your professors. They are not machines designed to blurt out knowledge and slap you with a final grade; they are humans with feelings. . . Most of all, smile. You may be surprised how contagious it is. Then you'll be able to see what Christmas Is really about - and it doesn't even have to wrapped.

Lowell - Thomas building to the Board of Trustees, administrators, faculty and staff of Marist College. Architects presented some basic concepts about lhe building, showed their previous work and gave their ideas on how the available space could effectively be distributed between the areas of communication · arts and computer science . "During the lasi week of October and the first of November, eleven architects, who had contacted us or were con~ . tacted by us, were a s ked to come to Marist to be b r iefed on the basic information on the building , see the .site and have a loc,k at the other buildings on campus," said Edward Waters, vice preside~! for administration and finance. Of thos e eleven, ten came back . to make formal presentations . . . According to Waters, the size of these architectural firms ranged from one person to more than l00 people. "Our goal is to get the best use out of the space available at the lowest possible cost, Waters said. According to Waters , decision s on the distribution of space in th e building will be based on need . Members of the communication arts and computer sci e nce faculty we~ e asked to put in requests describing the amount of spac e they would need. Waters said that 59,000 feet . of space were requested, while only 25,000 feet are available. · The architects were given a block diagram of ttie ouilding, which described how much space is available for th e. different disciplines. At the presentations they described how rhey felt that space would · be be s t used , ac- cording to Waters. Waters said that no decisions have been made concerning the final selection of an architect or exactly how · the space will be distributed .

"With all that they are talking about," Frank Scott, of the Seiler's Food Service, said; "they are going to run into some trouble. It will probably be packed." Betty Yeaglin, the coordinator _ of college activities, said that the alumni dance held in the cafeteria in November had only 600 people, and it was "shoulder-to- shoulder ." However, the alumni dance did not use the new dining room adjacent to the 1;afeteri~. Yeaglin said that with this room open, the Christmas dance would be crowded, but not unbearable. In addition to the live band Lovlace, which has played at several · other Marist events in the past · three years, the Christmas dance will feature hot hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Also, pictures taken with Santa Claus will be offered at $1 each. In an attempt to keep the dance more "open," the partition between the new dining room and the . cafeteria will be left open - only the buffet table of hot hors d'oeuvres will separate the drinking room from the dance floor.

Dress is semi-formal : Marist, Vassar plan joint effort by Veronica O'Shea and Cindy Bennedum A program in Spe'cial and Elementary Education to be offered by Marist and Vassar Colleges has been approved by the Marist College . Academic Affairs Committee . The program, approved by the - AAC after consultation with the Faculty Executive Committee, is now in the process of being ap- proved by the entire faculty of both colleges. According the Elizabeth Nolan, director of Student Academic Affairs, the decision on the faculty approval is expected by Friday. If the approval is granted by both colleges, the next step would be• to submit the proposal to the State Education department for its sanction. The Marist-Vassar program will give students from both colleges the opportunity to gain dual teaching . certification in elementary and special education. Although the existing resources are strong, both colleges intend to increase their holdings in the field of special education in order to strengthen the program. Com- puter facilities will be in - corporated into the design of the special education · curriculum by . both colleges . Marist and Vassar both plan 10 increase their library acquisitions in special education, and Marist will add a full-time faculty member for the program. With the approval of the program, Marist's current sophomore · c1ass will be the last class to graduate with dual certificaton from . Marist and Mount St. Mary . In the new arrangement, Vassar will modify some of its existing courses to highlight special education, while Marist will introduce four new courses as well as a special education student teaching program.

According to statistics from the C_ollege and University· Personnel Administration, . nationwide • private co-educational inc stitutions have a · 21 percent female and 3.S percent minority participation' rate on their ad- ministration staffs, whileMarist's current . figures show a 44.S percent female and 13.2 percent minority incidence. · Despite the national averages, ,· the task force found 'that "the avaiJabi!ity of members of protected classes in the labor pool exceeds · the.· incidence in the College's workforce." This is most evident, they reported, "in the faculty and administrative staff areas." In its report to Middle" States, the task force said that Marist does have an adequate statement regarding Affirmative · Action, but "it is clear to us .that the results currently being produced represent only minimal progress as Marist continues.to grow in the number of women and minority students.'' The task force also concluded that "it is critical that faculty and total staff provide appropriate role models for the students." "Marist has a history of inertia," the report said. "That can impede progress unless the president, in concert with the entire Marist community, maintains a high Equal Oppor- tunity Employment/ Affirmative Action profile.'' Dr. Eugene Best, associate professor of religious studies, has been the head of the Affirmative Action Office- at Marist since 1976. With the changing over of _the college from an all-male institution, problems arose as to how to balance the faculty and administration, Dr. Best said, "to . provide the proper role models for women once the '.women students entered Marist. '' The vestiges of the all-male · institution that Marist once was is evidenced ·in a number of areas. For example, there are no women . among thedivision chairpersons. Until this· year, there were no female residence directors. Now · _Ryan--- continued from page 3 never ·duplicate the services that exist at the hospital.'' . · LaMorte said that Ryan's . opinions are global. "The present health service fulfills the role that it has been designed to fulfill at this time," he said. Another area that Ryan said needed more attention is the topic of human sexuality. "I'm one for presenting .education of human sexuality on the vitalissues," he said. "That gets down to con- traception." He said that ~bile employed by Marist; he was · permitted to answer questions on the topic, but the school did not allow him to take any active part on educating the campus from a medical aspect. "There are people here making choices every day who have no knowledge on preventing pregnancies or on · ·venereal diseases," he said. "I was told that I was not to approach the college on either issue.'' Ryan also pointed out that while- a small health fee has been proposed for. the last few years, which would improve the school's health services, the idea has been rejected by the school. . , He concluded by saying that while he was working at Marist, the students were given adequate medical care, but that "it could have been better. I don't think that it's all it could be." Ryan is currently working at Metro North Railroads in Croughton, where he is opening and running a medical fadlity. One· woman's experience by Caroline Kretz Tera Jean Thomas is in a unique position. . She is a woman, she is black and she works at Marist. What is • unique about her is that unlike many of her female counterparts at Marist, she is not a secretary, nor is she in a low-ranking faculty position . .And unlike most minority em- ployees at Marist, she serves in an administrative level position. Thomas is the director of the Higher Education Opportunity Program at Marist (H.E.O.P.), which provides support services for educationally and economically disadvantaged students. Thomas has been at Marist for six years and has seen a lot in her years as a Marist administrator. "At the time I came, I was the only black administrator," she said, "and since that time I have know only three black instructors.'' "Marist seems to be saying that black people can only run 'black' programs for black people. The black administrators at Marist are usually in government-funded programs," she said. She gave as examples H.E.O.P. and the Upward Bound programs, which are state and federally funded programs respectively, with black directors. "I don't believe Marist has a commitment to Affirmative Action," Thomas said. "We're missing something at Marist," she said. "Marist, and colleges like Marist, claim that they cannot lure the professors." When questioned about the chances for improvement at Marist in light of the recent Affirmative Action Task Force proposals and recommendations, Thomas said: "I see it as staying the same. Marist has put their efforts elsewhere, and if they have to stick to Affirmative Action guidelines, they are more inclined to hire white females.'' Thomas said she was concerned about the lack of proper role models for black students at Marist. "It is important that minority students have these people at a college like Marist to whom they can look up to and identify with." there are two. Among the president's cabinet there is only one female, Julianne Maher, dean of the School of Adult Education, and . since 19.79, all ,of the valedectorians at graduation have been female while all of the commencement speakers and most of the honorary degree candidates have been fuale. Another- area in which women and . minorities are noticeably absent at Marist is the Board of Trustees. . Currently, there arc only two ·female trustees. In the Crannel St. spring of last year, five new appointments. were -made to the Board of Tr_ustees, none of which was a woman or a minority. When President Murray was questioned about the additions recently at a faculty meeting, he said appointments to the board had "nothing to do with Af- firmative Action" and were based solely on the "influence and affluence'' of those selected. He did say, however, the board planned to add female and minority members. 473-7996 TONIGHT - THE ORIGINAL BLUES PROJECT Outlaws Herbie Hancock· Closed 16th .17th 18th 19th 20th . 21st 22nd 23rs 24th;. 25th· 26th 29th 30th 31st Monday Night Football Female Burlesque T~B.A .

"It's inconsistency," says senior , co-captain Jim McDonald. "The attitudes are there, we just have to try and pull this . together." McDonald blames some of this inconsistency with the lack of ice time for the club. "We're not a varsity sport so . we don't get any scholarships to give away and we don't have the money to by ice time. This lack of ice time affects our team play," he said . With last Wednesday's · 10-5 home loss to the University of Bridgeport, the club's record stands at 2 wins - 13-3 over Fordham and 11-5 over Patterson - and losses · to Kings Point, Ramapo, Ocean County College and two to the University of , . in the penalty box.

"If we keep the attitude we have now," he said, "we should do alright." Friday's defeat of Dartmouth's Green was a 77-66 walkaway. The Foxes opened up their biggest lead of the game with 12 and a half minutes left to play, going up 52-39. While Dartmouth rallied to pull within seven at 67-60; time began to run out on the com- eback. The going was a little rougher one day later in a three-point vic- tory over Rider, 67-64. Senior Steve Eggink led Marist with 17 points, followed by Taylor's 14 arid John Donovan's 10, though the game was won and lost on the foul line. Marist shot 17 of 24 to Rider's 8 of I 9. Ironically, it was a missed free throw that helped seal the game for the Foxes. With seven seconds left in the game and Marist ahead by one, Taylor went to the line to shoot two. Making one of two would have almost certainly in- sured a tie and, had both been successful, a victory. However, Taylor · missed both throws. The second miss rebound- ed over two Rider players and in- to the hands of Donovan, who shot the game's final basket from six feet out to put the tournament title on ice. Last Tuesday, the Foxes lost at Fairleigh Dickinson 98-92 in a game that included two overtime periods. Marist hit 43 field goals against FDU's 30, but was vic- timized by the home team's large quantities of free throws. FDU went to the line 55 times, more than Marist opponents had in the Foxes' first two games com- bined, and . garnered 38 un- contested points. Marist, on the other hand, · had only 10 free throws - fewer than any team in any Marist game so far this year - and managed six points.

''I'd really like to put it all behind and get"on with the season," said Petro, and it's a fair request from someone in the midst of his toughest schedule as a coach. On the other hand, it seems like a few issues should be addressed - for the. record - before the whole thing is forgotten like bad midterm grades. The decision to split the two positions - not necessarily a bad one - ultimately rested with Den- nis Murray. Gerard Cox said that Murray, Petro, himself and the board of directors were all "in- volved in the decision," and if he says so, I believe it. But of all those "involved" people, one had the final say_. The board . "reviewed" the decision, but never voted on it. Petro has said he didn't choose to be only the athletic director, so his ob- viously wasn't the voice of authority. And Petro says, "That'd -be great, Gerry. It would sure take some pressure off me. What do you think, Den?" "Anything you guys say is OK with me," says Murray, who pours more brandy to mark the occasion. Well, that's not the way it hap- pened. The dedsion to split the jobs was made independently of Petro, who then decided which job to keep. Another point: Could Petro have choosen the coaching posi- tion, or was it a case of choosing either one as long as it was athletic director? From talking to a few people who should know, and in my own opinion, he could have had the Enough about that. What about the new coach (whomever he may be)? A selection commit- tee has yet to be formed, accor- ding to Cox. The subject makes for interesting conjecture anyhow. Cox said that the committee would not be made up entirely of administration members, seem- ingly implying that someone from the athletic department would be included. It would certainly seem logical to include someone from Mccann. But Cox also said he didn't know if Petro would be on the committee, which raises a ques- tion: Who else would they want, if not the athletic director and the man that knows Marist basketball better than anyone? Perhaps the girl that takes rac- quetball reservations will be available.

It is a young group -:-: more than half are freshmen - and an active one. They put in two-hour· practice sessions three days a week and before every game. Angela Cimorelli is in her third year as the squad's coach. She has been involved with cheerleading for most of her life, and is an instructor affiliated with the United States Chcerleading Association. As such, Cimorelli teaches cheerleading every summer. She said she is happy with the progress and efforts of this year's members. "I think the girls have come a long way this year, and we've gotten more support for the program," she said, and cited· the face chat 55 girls auended the first meeting for tryouts. The coach said there are still more things the group could do with more resources. "It's tough without our·own band," she said. "Also, we could really use more guys - we could do so much more with a few on the team." Cimorelli is a tough coach, one who works her people hard, according to many in the group, but her relentless push for per- fection has its rewards. "The compliments we get make the hard work very worthwhile," said Wendy Pryor, a freshman from Levittown, Long Island. That sentiment was echoed by freshman Pisamai Jaigla, among others. "It's a-lot of hard work," she said, "but it's worth it. Putting in the time and then seeing it pay off gives you a sense of accomplishment." Pryor was part of che football cheering group as well, and she said basketball cheering is very different. "We only did the home games in football," she said. "And mostly, during the football season, we got ready for the basketball season." Both the crowd and the players play a part in the cheerleaders' efforts. "We get good crowd participation," said Cimorelli. "I chink it's improved 100 percent." Marist's cheering troupe does a _ loc of traveling to road games - more than most college's squads. They have been at all three road games so far this year, including Notre Dame. If there's any area where the group could use more support, said some, it is from the athletic department. "We ·get absolutely no cooperation," said one cheerleader. "We just get shoved under the carpet sometimes." Some of that, they said, could result from the attitude towards cheerleading at the college. "The school is indifferent towards us," said another. "There's no prestige in being a cheerleader here." Gai Poe, the squad's manager, said the contributions to the basketball team are just as im- portant as the cheerleaders' i;o!es in stirring up a crowd. "We're here to cheer them on," she said. "It's especially good on the road," said Poe. "There usually isn't much of a Marist crowd to support them, and we're a lot better than having no one to cheer them on." Don Kelbick, one of the assistant basketball coaches, is also the cheerleaders' advisor. He said the team is aware of the cheering efforts and appreciates them. "They're great to have behind you on the road," he said. «Any support you can get is appreciated." :,... - Page12-THEC/RCLE-Decefflbertis.e ()-FtmS·· L=:=,✓ .... - Foxes win · tournament, lose at·FDU.
