"Our ultimate

is to set up a class, similar to what
the state university did, and have
students write up these q~estion-

mission, and then publish· this

the CSL will just work

Barnes added that at first there

"But' we've· found with schools

teacher to allow the administerlng

CSL officers pointed to the

tionnaire as a possible aid in
boo-sting f~culty cooperation.

said that the questionnaire wasn't

The idea of going off-campus is
not a new one for Marist. Courses
have been and are presently being

the people aren't really stimulating," said Jim Traub, a Com-
munication Arts major from Newton, Conn.
·
"I found the school to be very unorganized curriculum-wise.
The work is really urichallenging and·not at all stimulating; and
the course load is light," said Steven Warner, a Communication
Arts/Fashion major from Fort Collins, Colo.
~
Many freshmen also said they feel they have been misled by the
administration to believe that Marist is a highly competitive
school, but some students are not in agreement with the declared
level of higher education.

"It's easier than high' school," said Robert-"Moose" Gilbert,

"I thought people w.ould act more grown up. Some people act

According to many students,

their way to convey a feeling of concern for the freshmen.

"I loved it. The

"It was a great experience. I love all the people here. I would
recommend Marist to anyone," said Katen Bruso, New City,

Addressing the social life question, many Marist freshmen said
that they were pleased, for the most part, with the social li_fe on
and off campus.
"I think the social life is great. Everyone is friendly, and
there's a lot of things to do," said Pisamai Jaigla, a fine arts
major from Rye, N.Y.
.

Though some freshmen had negative thoughts about the fall
semester, many said that they hope things will come together by
the completion of their first tear at Marist.
"It's a great experience to get to go away to school, both
academically and socially," said Sean

"If

a. Problem for
.
teens
by
Gary A. Davis
This year, like many previous
ones, a single, easily attainable
drug will cause the death of over
20,000 teenagers and begin the
sickness and death of millions
more. This deadly drug is alcohol.
The
National
Council
on
Alcoholism says that drunken
driving is the leading cause of
death
among
teenagers
and
estimate that 3.3 million drinking
teens between 14 and 17 may
develop serious alcohol problems.
The
N.C.A.
reports that the
average age a child begins t_o
drink is 13, with 31 percent of
high
school
students
being
alcohol misusers and'-15 percent
being problem drinkers.
According to the N.C.A., an
alcohol misuser is a. person who
gets drunk at leas.t five times a
year, while a problem drinker is a
person who drinks at least once a
week and has more than five
drinks per occasion.
In addition, the N.C.A. states
that alcohol is so common in our
drinking
society
that
most
teenagers do not realize that it is a
powerful drug and many devleop
a drinking problem.
The
National
Institute
of
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
reports that there are more than
twice as many male teenage
drinkers than female.
Every teenager that drinks,
however, does not become a pro-
blem drinker. Experts point out a
number of factors that cause a
person to develop a drinking pro-
blem.
Majorie Schratz, a psychologist
at Marist College with alcohol
counseling experience, said that
teenage drinking
is a "very
serious"
problem
in
the
Poughkeepsie area as well as the
nation .
Schratz said she feels that the
problem is caused by an inability
·
to interact with others. "Alcohol
is used as an excuse to avoid
socializing with the opposite sex.
It
can· be frightening for
·some
people, so they drin!c to avoid the
fear," she said.
Schratz went on to explain that
a drinking problem usually starts
in an immature person who has
not worked out his or her identity.
She called this process individua-
tion."
During the process of in-
dividuation, the person's suscep-
tibility to peer pressure should
peak in high school, allowing the
person to become an individual
and not a member of a group,
,
Schratz said.
N.1.A.A.A.
studies have found
that the drinking behaviors of
peers has the strongest influence
on the adolescent use of alcohol.
Sehratz stressed that a person
who fails to complete the in-
dividuation process and allows
others to control his actions will
remain immatur.e and therefore
may develop a drinking problem.
Laurence Sullivan, a Marist
College professor who had been a
professional
alcohol counselor
for I
5
years, agrees with Schratz.
"A problem drinker is someone
who cannot handle awkward feel-»
ings about himself and others
or
the opposite sex and drinks to
block out their problems." he
said.
Sullivan, who holds an alcohol
counseling
certificate
from
Rutgers University, said that a
teenager's home environment is
an important factor in whether or
not the person develops a drink-
ing
problem.
"Children
of
alcoholic
parents
are
perfect
targets
to
·
become
alcoholics
themsleves," he said.
Bonnie Kavner, administrator
of the Alcohol and Substance
Abuse Service of the Dutchess
County Department of Mental
Hygiene: said she thinks most
teenage alcohol problems are
family related.
Kavner,
who
agreed
that
teenage drinking is a serious pro-
blem, did not know if Poughkeep-
sie area was better or worse than
the
rest
of the nation, cited
statistics that show a much higher
rate of alcoholism for people
from families with an alcoholic
member.
The
N.I.A.A.A.
found that
parents were a strong influence on
their child's use of alcohol. A
study discovered that
59 percent
of all teens with at least one
parent who drunk regularly were
moderate
to
heavy
drinkers
themselves.
Kavner strongly noted that
alcohol is a dangerous drug that
can kill people when it is misused.
"We have people that come here
for therapy who are dying from
alcohol," she said.
Kavner added that teenage pro-
blem drinkers who go through life
with unresolved problems will
probably die from alcoholism in
their40s.
Raphael Mark, an instructor at
Marist College and one of the
founders of the Dutchess County
Mental
Health
Center
in
Poughkeepsie, said that teenage
drinking is a very big problem. He
also
said
that the problem in
Poughkeepsie is no worse than

It's February, and college students from
'
all over the nation have returned to school
after Christmas
break to continue
their
studies -
well, at least some students have
come
back to study. Apparently
many
~
students at Marist have instead chosen to
i
cheat their way through college.

It's, easy.

themselves into believing that they're not

I
thought we were in college, not grade
school. Test-stealing
is immature, not to
mention unfair to students who pore over
books for hours rn preparation for an exam.
Cheating is also sheer"fo.olishness. Taking
courses at college is not required by state
law, as is attendance at elementary school
and high school until. age of 16; rather,
college can be thought of as an investment
in learning that students have chosen to
make. Cheaters

In a broader light, stealing
anything
shows an extreme lack of moral character.
As we know, Marist College has riot been an
instituti'on
that encourages· this kind of
degradation of indi_viduals. By getting away

standards of the whole college.

ROTC
Dear Editor:
College sophomores who were
not enrolled in Army ROTC dur-
ing the first. two years of college
still have a chance to enter the Ad-
vanced Course during their junior
and senior years. The ROTC
Basic Camp, held each summer at
Fort Knox,
KY,
is a six-week
course of intensive training which
prepares students for the final
two years of the ROTC commis-
sioning program which is now of-
fered at Marist College.
.
.
The six-week course-is describ-
ed by the Army as tough, deman-
ding, and challenging

pass; rifle marksmanship with the

and

siderable experience in drill and
ceremony. Equally

during the
course,
they learn

It's even

the entire college.
The Circle staff finds itself faced with a
deadline almost every week, and· always
manages to have the paper on campus on

'Family Ties' deserves support

L
He
works . at a public
·
television
station; she·in real estate. Sounds
simple enough.
But "Family
Ties" far exceeds in quality over
other
simple-minded
family
sitcoms
.
such as "Gimme
a
Break" and "Mama's Family."
Leftover flower children Steven
and
Elyse
have
somehow
managed to raise three extremely
conservative children in what
seems to be a hilarious flip
version of the generation gap.
Alex keeps stock market prices in
his
wallet
and
pictures
of
prominent businessmen over his
bed; Mallory craves lip-glo·ss and
phone calls; and Jennifer sees
herself as well-rounded by playing
baseball and taking ballet. The
characters are fresh and funny,
·
~nd now in its second season, the
show does not seem to be running
out of iaeas ..
In perhaps one of the best
episodes to date, Alex needs to be
"flawlessly prepared"
for up-
coming_ final exams that could·
determine his chances of ac-
ceptance into an Ivy League
college. To ready himself, he
begins popping diet pills, but his
endless energy - which he chalks
up as
his "natural
boyish
exuberance" - finally brings him
down. This show was hilarious
throughout and made its point
quietly without preaching.
Although most episodeds tend
to focus on the kids (especially
Alex),
Michael
Gross
and
Meredith Baxter-Birney, two fine
actors, have their moments, too.
As
a
long-time fan of Baxter-
Birney, I love to watch her timing
and delivery, which enhanced a
recent episode dealing with the
separation of Elyse's parents.
Unable to accept the fact her
mother was dating, Elyse became
a nervous wreck, losing complete
control,
.
throwing around wild
accusations and driving her whole
family crazy. Any lesser actress
may have carried the part too far
and lost all sense of credibility,
but Baxter-Birney carried it off
brilliantly.
"Family Ties" is not overly
sentimental mush.
It does not
remind one of the sugary sweet
family sitcoms of the past like
"The Brady
·eunch"
or "The
Partridge_ Family." Instead it, is
bright,
witty, with fine per-
formances and decent scripts.
Although not quite in the class of
"M*A*S•H"
or ·"Cheers,"
"Family Ties" is a wonderful
show compared to many.
Although, at times, "Family
Ties" falls into the middle of the
ratings heap, let's hope NBC
recognizes this little gem
-
and
keeps it around for a while. I say
yes to "Family Ties."

Mark said he and a
·group_
of
.others
started the Mental Health
Center because they felt there was
a· definite need to provide help to
people with drug addictions.
·
He said he also feels that the
teen · drinking problems come·
from the family and friends and is
amplified by the media and its
advertising of alcohol. "We are
told that we are a man if we drink
because drinkjng has· a macho im-
age," he said.
Mark pointed out that the best
way to prevent teen drinking pro-
blems is to provide a better
understanding of what alcohol
can do to the body when it is
misused.
·
For this reason he said he
started
A.D.A.P.T., Action Drug
Abuse
Prevention
Training,
which is an organization that goes
to area
-
schools to inform
--
the
students of the possible dangers
of alcohol and other drugs.
·
·
Mark noted that it can be dif-
ficult to get young people
.
to
believe that the future dangers of
alcohol truly exist. "The young
future. It is usually when you're
40 and over that you believe that
troubles can exist," he said.
Sullivan, Kavner and Mark
agree that education is the best
way to prevent teenage drinking
·
from becoming a problem.
Sullivan
pointed
out
that
children of alcoholics need special
attention in an alcohol education
program.
He also said that people should
be cautious about getting others
to drink. "An appeal had to be
made to the young people who
create the impression that you
need to drink to have a good
·
time,'' he said.
, Schratz questions the effec-
tiveness of educating only the
young. "I think we have to
educate the whole population. We
must address the programming
that glorifies drinking as a way to
solve our problems,'' she said.
Schratz said
·that
the only way
to reduce the teen drinking pro-
blems is to change the attitude of
society. She said she thinks that
the current public emphasis on
physical health and the awareness
change.
According
to
Schratz,
the
drinking age should be raised
even though it will not completely
stop teenagers· from drinking. "If
you want to drink you will find a
way to do it, but it might deter
certai_n groups from drinking un-
til they are older, when they can
better handle the alcohol," she
said.
Once a person has a drinking
problem, it is difficult to cure,
Schratz noted. "Statistics show a
success rate of only 30 percent for
alcoholics who really beat their
problem.
The
person
will
cooperate at first, but start drink-
ing again after they begin to feel
better," she said.
Sullivan said there is no short
and simple way to cure a drinking
problem.
"If
you ever go to an
Alcoholics Anonymous meeting,
you will hear the people say t_hey
are recovering alcoholics because
it takes an entire lifetime to
recover," he said.
.. -------------------------•
don't believe that there is a

of the problems with drunk driv-
ing could bring about the societal
·
Sullivan stressed that the only
way to cure a drinking problem is
to
stop drinking and never start
again .

know any other way of life, but
when you see the way they live it
makes you appreciate your life a
lot more."
The families live in a poverty-
siricken area in the mountains of
West v·irginia. They lead very
simple lives due to their low
incomes.

The students started the day at
7 a.m. with a quick cereal
breakfast. From 8 a.m. to 3:30
p.m.
they worked
at
their
assigned jobs.
Some students
worked in the farm kitchen
preparing the meals, while others
went· to the families' houses to
clean and fix things, or whatever
they could find to do. At the end
of the day everyone would go to
afternoon Mass. Dinner would be·
served around
5
p.m.
"The families' incomes are
basically the disability checks they
receive from the state. They were
on
welfare
but
President
Reagan's cutbacks took that away
from them," Sr. Eileen said.
"The government systems do not

MCR makes
new changes
in '84
staff
by
Cammie Steffich
The Advertising Director and
Business Manager of
WMCR
have resigned, causing various
changes in the management staff.
"I made a large commitment to
Campus Ministry and could not
fulfill
my
obligations
to
WMCR,"
said Mike Regan,
former
business inanager
of
WMCR
.
No replacements have been
found for the two open positions,
but
General
Manager
Bob
LaForty
has
appointed
sophomore
'Bill
Smith
as
assistant program director.
"The job of Program Director
is too hard for one person to do
properly," LaForty said.
After one semester as General
Manager, LaForty was planning
to resign due to the 9verload of
work that was being thrust upon
him. "Not many members of the
staff were willing to work hard,
which left the burden on me,"
LaForty said. However, after
careful consideration he decided
to stay on.
Program Director Bill Rand
said he feels the problem with the
management staff is a lack of
communication. "I find it very
ironic
that
we're
all com-
munication majors and no one is
communicating." Rand said.
Rand also said heis thinking of
resigning. "I'll see how things
work out and make my decision
in about two weeks," he said.
. LaForty said he is hoping this
semester will turn out better than
the last. "I'm looking forward to
the return of Paul Palmer and
Paul Murnane from their in-
ternships. '·-They'll • be student
advisors and management, which
will help with the work load," he
said.

The Marist College men's swim
team extended its overall record
to 4-2 and remained undefeated in
the Metropolitan Swimming Con-
ference with a 68-31 victory over
Brooklyn College last Wednesday_
afternoon.
Freshman Chris Chudzinski led
the team with victories in the 200-
and S00~yard freestyle event and
anchored the winning 400 medley
relay. Also winning for Marist
were freshmen Fred Dever ( 1,000-
yard freestyle), Fabrice Cuadrado
(200-yard
backstroke),
Vinny
Olivetto (200-yard butterfly) and
sophomore
co-captain·
Pete
Asselin (50-yard freestyle).
Chudzinski,
Cuadrado
and
Olivetto have already set school
records for their evems this year.
Sophomore
co-captain
Dave
Luber extended Marist's streak of
dual-meet diving wins to 37.
Luber won the three-meter dive
with a 162.0 score and took the
one-meter dive with a score of
163.8.
Men's Swimming Coach Larry
Vanwagner · said that he was
pleased with the victory, but that
there is still a lot of work before
the team can achieve its main
goal. "We are looking to win the
Metropolitan
Swimming . Con-
ference
Championships
held
February
23, 24 and 25 at
Hofstra," he said.
Van Wagner said· the team is
working hard towards the cham-
pionships.
"We· brought ~back
everyone two weeks early over in-
tercession and . they were in the
pool four and a half hours a day,
six days a week,"
said Van-
Wagner.
The team was sixth in the con-
ference's _B. division champion-
ships two years ago with a
3-
7
record and third last year, ·going
5-4.
VanWagner said he thinks The
City College of New York is the
team's main competition for the
title. "It's
going
to be a tough
one, but
I
think we have a chance
at beating City College," said
Van Wagner.

No stone
unt·urnea·
I hardly know where to begin.
It's been a montli and a half
since
fall
'83 finals and the
departure of most of the campus
population. Since then a lot has
happened relating to athletics
here at Marist -
most of it
relating
to
the
basketball
coaching sit.uation -
and more
fun and games are on the way.
Marist College, regardless of
whether you realize it or not, is in
the middle of a somewhat major,
fairly
prominent
. nationwide
search for a new basketball
coach.
Now this isn't like trying to
find a new director of college
activities (you need a flamboyant
signature for that "approved by"
rubber stamp) or even, for in-
stance, a new president. We're
talking about a basketball coach
here, someone who could wind up
on ESPN or something.
suppose, or knights on horseback
riding into a forest, lamps held
aloft,
"searching"
for
the
dribbling equivalent of the holy
grail.
In fact, they won't be doing
much searching. The application
deadline has already passed, and
they've only had one meeting so
far. What they will be doing is
reviewing applications, looking
for the most qualified people.
And then, after they 'have
examined each hopeful candidate
they will . . . they will . .. recom-
mend a coach. Not choose -
recommend. The final approval,
as I understand it, still rests with
Dr. Murray.
.
With such a weighty task ahead
of it (imgine it -
recommending
a candidate), the committee has
naturaIJy been working overtime
to define its goals and priorities.
Thomas McKiernan, the com-
mittee's chairman, was quoted in
The Poughkeepsie Journal
as

·
Meanwhile,
apparently,
Murray has been looking around
himself. A Las Vegas newspaper
reported that he had contacted
Jerry Tarkanian, head coach at
the University of Nevada there,
about finding a candidate.
It's
all . very unclear what
exactly
happened
but

The Marist College women's
basketball team completed a.very
successful mid-semester brea,k by
going from 3-7 to'9-10
tiy
winning
six of their last nine games.

Lady Red Foxes' latest surge is
thafifhas been done, for the most
part, . without the services of
starters Lynne Griffin and Val
Wilmer.•··
·
Griffin, who scored herl,000th
career point over vacation and
who will soon become the leading
scorer in Marist women's basket-
.ball history; is expected to be out
of the lineup until Feb. 1 with a
leg injury.
Wilmer
was sidelined
in-
definitely when she re-injured her
leg in practice last week. The in-
itial injury occured in a victory
over Long Island University.
But along with these untimely
injuries came some timely con-
tributions
by ursula
Winter,
Jackie Pharr and Mary.Jo Stemp-
sey. Timely contributions are not ·
tinusual for Winter, who leads the
team in scoring and rebounding.
First year Coach Pat Torza also
cited the play of senior guard
Joyce Iacullo.
· The Red Foxes have achieved a
4-3 league record by beating
Cosmopolitan Conference rivals
Monmouth, LIU, (in overtime)
· and Montclair St. Along with
non-conference teams St. Francis
{N.Y.),
Molloy and Brooklyn.
Their losses were to conference
foes Siena, Adelphi and Hofstra.
The next and last home game
for the team is Saturday, Feb. 4
against Wagner.

According to Quinn, there are
many factors
that
must be
considered before deciding what
teams will be added. Cost is a
major factor.
'If cross country, indoor and
outdoor track were added to the
women's curriculum, in one move
the eight required teams would be
needed instead of three new
coaches,'; said Quinn.

Field space also has to be
considered. Both Leonidoff Field
and the Mccann field are used in
fall and spring by Marist division
teams
and
intramurals.
"If
Leonidoff is used in spring for
something like field hockey, we're
not sure that the summer will be
enough time for the turf to
recover for the fall sports," said
To select the new women's
teams, Quinn said that first a
representative
committee
of
women students would be con-
sulted for· suggestions. These
suggestions would then be sub-
mitted
to students
and
ad-
ministration. "We will add the
sports
that meet everybody's
needs," said Quinn.

After an upset of last year's

basketball team will. be home for
two more ECAC Metro matchups
in tile next two days.
Fairleigh Dickinson University
will be at the McCann Center
tonight · at 8 o'clock,
while
Wagner will take on the Foxes on
Saturday, also at 8 p.m.
-The Red Foxes record currently
stands at 9-8 overall, with a 4-3
ECAC

last season.
·. . .- ·
· With Saturday's win at Robert
Mo'rris, the Foxes broke a three-
game losing streak that included a
81-72 los~ at St. Francis·(Pa.) last
Thursday.

Only nine games remain on the
regular-season· schedule, and all-

Saturday's game· brought three
Robert Morris winning streaks io
an end. RMC had a perfect 3-0
record over Madst going into the
game, including last year's 80-59
rout at
RMC. ·
Secondly, none of the teams
. currently _in the ECAC Metro had
ever_ beaten the Colonials at the
John Jay Center at
RMC.
Finally, Robert Morris had
won an incredible 26 consecutive
games at home and hadn't lost
there sfoce January 1982.
Steve Eggink, Tom Meekins
and Bruce Johnson are all coming
off two good games in Penn-
sylvania. In both games com-
bined, Eggink scored
36
points,
Meekins scored 27 and Johnson
23.
-Together, the - trio accounted
for 86 of the. team's 132 points
against St. Francis and RMC, or
just over 65 percent of the total.
Fairleigh Dickinson finished
last season with the third best
record in · the conference, and
figures to be a strong contender
for the championship in the
· conference tournament at Marist
