Confusion about the name aro~e last month
when the college's.official announcements of the
$2.S
million computer grant_ from IBM referred
to the "Lowell Thomas Center." Some faculty
members and students expressed concern·that the
shortened name indicated a change in the
_
college's plans for the site._
· -
·
·
-
Lapham said, however, the name was shor-
-
.
.
.
.
tened_ in President Dennis Murray's st,eech
.and
the college's press release about the grant from
_
IBM •~for the sake of brevity." Much of the new
-·
computer equip~ent Marist will be receiving
from
IBM will be used in the center.
_
.
Murray could not be reached for comment, but
Lapham
~said
that in no way does the exclusion of
.
the word "comunications" reflect
-.
an aban-
donment of the center's affiliation with that field.
"l
don't see how it could be named after
L_owell
Thomas and not have something to do
with communications.'' she said. "I don't think
the family would have let us use the name if we
-
weren't going to cQmmit the center to com-

Questions about the current

the Middle

States Evaluation
Team, an accrediting group from
the Middle States Association of
Colleges
and

Universities,
suggested a re-evaluation of the;

A Presidential task force was

mendations in its final report, two
of which are to reach the common
goal
·_
of general education by

·
creating- a

more progressive

sequence of Core courses. For
this,
the

Committee formed an ad hoc
committee on general education,

chaired by Dr. Milton Teichman
of the English department, which
has issued these proposals.

"This was a working document

Summer jobs
BARNSTABLE, Mass. -
The.
seaside resort areas of Cape Cod,
Massachusetts and the off-shore
.
islands of Nantucket and Mar-
tha's Vineyard are experiencing a
growing
problem
in
finding
enough college workers to ade-·
quately tourist industry.·
·
This summer Cape Cod and the
.
Islands_ will be offering, over
55,000 good paying jobs· to col-
lege students and teachers. Many_
pf these jobs require little or
·no
.
prior experience.
.
.
Because it is impossible to fill
.
-
these_ jobs with local· residents,
most of whom make up the year
round Work force, it .is necessary
to
draw from other geographic
·
·
areas to satisfy this seasonal need.
The Cape Cod Summer Job
Bureau gathers· all pertinent facts
·
on available summer employment
and publishes th~s information in
·:.
a concise Job Directory which is
.
available to college students and
.
teachers by Febi:uary 1st each
:
.
year.
·.
.
·
Names and addresses of: in-
.
dividual seasonal employers are
listed in separate job categories
from bartenders to yacht crews.
;
The Job Bureau is a service
agency, and therefore. charges no

fees to employers or employees.

the Middle East, 23 Marist Col-
lege Singers were bringing a
message of "peace" to Israeli and
Egyptian soldiers.

the
· students journeyed
across the
Middle East with Marist music
director Dorothy Ann Davis.
The threat of possible danger
was a - constant thought to most
students, but they said they felt
welcomed by the soldiers. Prior to
_ the trip, when a bus was bombed
in - Beirut, 11 Marist students
dropped out of the Egypt-Holy
Land trip.
"The only time it hit me that we
could be in some danger was
when we left Egypt at 3 a.ni.,"
John Griffiths, sophomore, said.
"We crossed the desert and I saw
the · tanks on both sides. Egypt
and Israel were aiming riglJt at
each other."
· The curiosity of the Israeli
soldiers was also intense. "They

ded, "I was never really frighten-
ed. Mrs. Davis wouldn't have
allowed us over there
if
it was so
bad."
All agreed that it was an
enriching
and
beautiful
ex-
perience. They visited such places
as Cairo, Bethlehem, Nazareth,
the Sea of-Galilee, Jerusalem and
other biblical cities.
.. "Seeing a sunset in Jerusalem is
breathtaking," Davis said. "The
history alone is overwhelming.''
It took two years of planning to
organize the Middle East trip. Ac-
cording to Davis, Eugene Best,
professor of religious studies, was
a tremendous asset during the
trip. Best served as a guide and
explained the. history of the land
to the students.
"There are so many people who
helped us to get there," Davis
said. "Dr. (Dennis) Murray, our
Marist College family and St.
.•
.
Mary's of Cold Sping supported
us."
Students said it was an uplifting
experience to stand in the Jordon
River and sing "Shall We Gather
at the River.'' The soldiers would
stand around and watch the
Americans.
'
"Being that close to Jesus's bir-
thplace was some feeling," Paul
Campbell, a political science ma-
jor, said. "It makes you feel dif-
ferent."
All the students agreed that br-
inging their "voices of peace"
io
another country, especially to
Egypt and Israel, is an experience
they will never forget.
"I
read newspapers with such
interest now," said Eileen Atkins,
a psychology major. "When I see·

A trip to Greece is currently be-

are welcomed to join the singers.

Reaction to· proposed dririking age is mixed
by
James N1>rman
Ever since the end of Prohibi-
tion in 1933, the legal drinking
· age in New York State has been
18.
·
49 years later, the legal drink-
ing age was moved up to 19 in
1982.
-
Now, Gov. Cuomo sent the

proposing to raise the age again,

There are various opinions

about the proposed law. Many of

Anderson on one point.
"It

"It

"I would support it," Casey
said of the proposed law. He said
it can be shown statistically that
there is a higher percentage of ac-
cidents among teenagers.
The National Safety Council's
. rec;ent report indicates the same
thing. The NSC has estimated
that 730 lives could be saved an-
nually with a 21-year-old national
drinking age.
Sophomore Harry Carleton,
20,
said he thinks the drinking age

should be uniform nationally.
Carleton, a Newburgh resident,
said different laws in different
states is only "encouraging poten-
tial for crossing borders."
"I
don't think it (the change)
will go over that hot with the
general public," he said.
"It
doesn't matter to me ... I'll be 21
in April."
Ferdico said the new legal age
could affect
college students
psychologically.
"You're
in college, and it
would add more pressure for col-
lege students with their peers," he
said. Ferdico said he thought the
change would tempt the student
to drink illegally -anyway to be
with the "in" crowd.
"It's no good for the student's
mental stability,'' he said.
If
Cuomo gets his way and the
legal drinking age is raised to 21,
those who are under the legal age
might be advised to move to Ger-
many. Schepmoes said he visited
Germany recently and found that
the legal drinking age in that
country for wine and liquor is 21.
But· the legal age for beer, he
said, is only 14.

_
Such a program Is naturally of great In-
terest to The Circle and Its readers. The
Circle revealed Its priorities by placing the

Marlst's

The Circle sent a reporter to follow up on

were to be announced was cancelled due to
a lack of organization. The reporter was told
to call back In a few days to find out the
news. Likewise, other area

and local radio stations were denied In~

The next day, however, The Circle, along
with every other media form In the area, got

met by the editor, Chris Gagliardi
..
while on an internship and her
promise that the book would be
completed
on time.
·
:when
it came time to present
the work she had done; it was
discovered that
.
Miss Gagliardi
and her CCstaff'' only laid out ten
pages of this publication when in
fact at the time of the semester,
at
.
least fifty pages should have been
laidout ..
After the resignation of Miss
Gagliardi, I had to run the year-
book until another editor could be
found. I had to meet with several
members
of the administration to
determine the future of the book.
Once we found someone
to be the
editor to save it, Carol Burke, we
put in alot of
time
so we could
try
to have something called a year-
book for the class of
1983.

The "staff," who consisted of

weekly publication such. as the

..
The Marist community
must realize that "you cannot put
out a yearbook out on time with
·
only seven people working on it.
In matter of fact it is impossible.-
I
think that the 1983 Reynard
will be well worth the wait. It
won't be· anything spectacular,
but hopefully future staffs of the
Reynard will look at this book as
·
·.
a reminder that this kind of thing
should never happen again.
·
·
.
·
So the next time that anyone
_
here at Marist has the urge to ask
the biggest qµestion on this cam-
pus "Where is the yearbook from
last year?", ask the editor of the
1983
Reynard, Chris Gagliardi,
not the member of the present
Reynard staff of 1984.

ElectiOn· '84·: Yoll
·need
a ·scorecard
by Carl MacGowan
It's that time of the decade
again-
election year.
Actually, Campaign '84 has
_ been in progress for quite some
time now. Jesse Jackson declared
his candidacy in November, John
Glenn began his· campaign a year
ago, and Walter Mondale began
his two years ago. Ronald Reagan
has been running since Jan. 20,
1981.
- This year's ·campaign· will be
the most expensive in history, and
possibly the most boring. Led by
Mondale's "Dare to be cautious"
philosophy,
the
Democratic
challengers are playing . it safe:
Don't expect to .hear much about
national health. insurance this;
year.
.
The Democrats did put on a
good show a few weeks ago at
Dartmouth
College.
Phil
Donahue
and
his army
of
common folk were unleashed
upon the eight candidates, which
was much more exciting than the
dreadful Carter-Reagan debate in
1980.
In politics, as in baseball, you
can'.t tell the players without a
scorecard. Herein an attempt to
· distinguish the contenders from
one another:

S. senator.

"Nobody is going to work harder
(than me) to bring peace to this

Alan Cranston - U.S. senator.
Thoughtful,· with many years of
experience ... bald, with artifically
colored hair ... is giving serious
consideration
to
choosing
a
woman vice president. Quote: "I ·

Walter Mondale -

Ernest "Fritz"

U.S. senator. The modern-day
incarnation of Richard Henry
Lee... pretty much out of the
race.
"I

can do something about."
Gary Hart -
U.S. senator.
Youngest candidate... proclaims

themselves out of the pit of
poverty. What is it that keeps ·
them where they are? It wasn't
until I got down there that I
realized what holds them back.
West Virginia is wealthy with
resources like natural gas and,
aboye all, coal. Big business has
marched in, raped the land,
polluted the air, and fouled the
water. They pay very little in
taxes, and give nothing back · to
the people. The people of West
Virginia are more than just poor;
they are oppressed.
There's an old saying down
there: Coal is King. But the coal
has no power. The strength lies in
· the hands of the corporate giants
whose

poor. Thanks to people like those
at Nazareth Farm, however, their
lot is slowly but surely improving.
Missions of this type have helped
countless numbers of families in
their struggles against poverty.
_
When I first saw and smelled
how these people lived, I was
deeply saddened. "How could I
have so much and these people
have so little?" I asked myself.
But at· the end of my visit I
realized that my time spent with
them was incredibly happy. I've
never met people who have so
much love and concern for each
other as they do.
I approached
these people
thinking that they have nothing,
and I left them realizing how
much they really possess. Our
society thrives on the idea of
consumption. "Buy this and you
will be happy. Buy that and you
· will be beautiful." This is sheer
fantasy; happiness cannot be
bought.
The poor have one thing that is
infinitely more valuable than
anything else. They have each
other, and it is through each other
that they find peace. True peace is
something few of us can say we·
really have. The poor have a great
deal to say to all of us, and our
world would be much better off if
we would only listen.

What's the magic of balloons?
"I think it's a fantasy," said
Smith. "Balloons make people

To order a balloon bouquet,

"Not today."
"Yes, .today. It's going to take

"Uh, right. To be honest, we
weren't expecting you quite so
soon."
"So you don't have room for
it?" asks Bob, starting to edge
towards the door.
Thinking quickly, Dan throws
himself in the way. "Oh no, no,"
he says, acting casual, "there's
plenty of room. In fact, we've got

"Go harrass people in the

says Dan,
pushing security out the door,
then smiling apologetically at
Bob. "Student employees ... "
"Like I said, if you can tell me
where to put it all, we'll get

"Say,
Bob,"
Dan
says,
throwing a arm around Bob, "we
have a Lowell Thomas Center
going up soon. Have you heard
about it?"
"Sure I have. But I thought it
was the Lowell Thomas Com-
munications Arts

Besides, I wasn't going to. pay the
tickets anyway."
.
·.
"Nobody ever does. Let's take
a walk around, I'm sure we can
find a place.''
The first stop is_ the Fine Arts
Center, where the pair interrupt a
studio design class in session.
"What's going on here?" asks the
professor.
"We're moving computers in,"

"Oh, all right, I guess you can
stay," Dan tells the professor
who's now throwing bits of
charcoal at him.
Eventually a spot is found.
Freshmen throughout
Marian
Hall are awoken by loud knocks
on the doors.
"Is it river day?" one of them
asks, drowsily falling out of bed ..
"You're history!" yells Dan
from the hallway. "Be out of here

"What fo"r?"
"For the terminals! This is the

good show of support, I think.
But how about keeping the yell
right through the first Marist
point?
Imagine it building,
getting louder and louder until
that first basket is sunk, when
several hundred rolls of paper
come flying in.
The University of Massachusets
game next week isn't as important
as Siena, so can we plan on the
Siena game one
week
from
Saturday for the all-time Terrible
Toilet Tissue Toss? Right after a
truly thunderous Red Fox roar?
Those of you who have read
this far, pass the word over the
next week. Somebody on each
dorm floor or townhouse take
charge.
Make
sure everybody
goes, and find some rolls' of
paper.
It should be an opening minute
to remember, and if it sets the
tone for the rest of the game and
the rest of the season, McCann
will be a place nobody wants to
play in.
Except, of course, the Red
Foxes. Which is the whole idea.

·'Baby Doe'
is topic
of speech
by
_Janet
Lawler
The· controversial decision not
to treat Baby Jane Doe's spinal
illness was due to prejudice
feelings by her doctor, according
to Dr. Thomas H. Murray, the
associate
for
social
and
behavioral studies at Hastings
Center.
·
Questions
about
"human
dignity" were raised during the
Faculty Lecture Series held in
Donnelly Hall on Feb; 2.
"The
doctor hated down-
syndrome · children
because
someone in the doctor's family
was born retarded and he didn't
want Baby Jane Doe's parents to
experience the same pains,"
Murray said, referring to Baby
,_·
Jane Doe's physician. ,
·
· "Well, he was wrong,'' Murray
said. "For those reasons,.it was
immoral not to · treat Baby Jane
Doc." .
_.
This is an issue close to
Murray's · heart and conscience.
"Baby Jane Doe deserves to be
treated. .Yes, her parents are
vulnerable," Murray explained.
"They expected to bring home a
healthy newborn. But doctors are
not always right." ·
Murray went on to say that he
would not want to exchange
places with a severely retarded
child. But said he feels it is not his
decision to end the child's life
because its "quality of life" is
different:
· Murray said the. social and
medical
professions
are
responsible for raising the quality
of prenatal and p_ostnatal care.-
'!We stink at pt~nataL care in
the United States," Murray said
to faculty and students. "We need
more social programs to educate
· mothers about.· proper nutrition,
exercise, and not smoking or
dri?king during pregnancy."
It
is important to look at Baby
Jane Doe's situation through the
eyes of the child, according to
Murray.
"What treatment_ is best for
that baby? We can't always just
worry about the inconveniences to
society and the parents," Murray
said. "When an infant's basic
needs are at stake, then that baby
has the "moral" right to expect
food, water and shelter."

DeNunzio
Dr.
Vincent · Toscano
has
resigned
as
assist~nt
vice
president of academic affairs and
will return to Marist after a
semester on sabbatical as an
assistant professor of history.
Toscano, a 19-year member of
the Marist community, said he
made this decision after a great
deal of thought.
"I
enjoyed
working as an administrator but
then
I
asked myself what
I
really
wanted to do; my answer was to
teach," said Toscano.
.
Toscano began working part-
time in the administration
10
years ago. Gradually, he . was
weaned away from teaching as he
progressed in the administrative
field. The past nine years he has
been completely isolated from his
teaching career. Last summer he
decided to make the change. "My
heart is in teaching, so that's what
I'm going to do - teach."
While on sabbatical, Toscano
plans to prepare himself to return
to the teaching profession.
"I
have a lot of catching up to do.
The courses I taught 10 years ago
have
to
be
updated
and
reworked," said Toscano.
Toscano also emphasized the
importance of making . himself
familiar
with
the . pertinent
literature of the past 10 years.
. ._
Along with reorgan_izing old
classes, Toscano is devoting much
· of, his time to developing several
new classes. He stated that a class
. entitled, "America since 1945"
would benefit all Marist students.
He said that he was shocked to
discover how little students know
about recent history.
A course in ethnic studies is
also a possibility for Marist in the
fall. "All students come from· a
background of immigrants, · yet
many of them don't know what it
was like to cross the ocean to a
new land or to deal with the many
. conflicts their grandparents had
to cope with," said Toscano.
Toscano expects to spend some
time updating the thesis he did for
-his doctorate on the • Kennedy
myth.
"I
feel it's· a good time to
research historical journals and
rework my book 'Si~ce Dallas', ".
Toscano aid.
. ·
·· . ·
Toscano also said he plans to
do some :writing. "I'd ·like· to
publish some articles on teaching
and education," he said. ·
Another
major _·
project , for
Toscano is to work with the new.
interactive video equipment, a
computer system which allows
students to gain feedback from
the system.
"I
think this is an
exciting way for students to get ·
involved with history. The in-
teractive video method is part of
the technology of the future," he
said.
He noted that Marist is doing a
very,good job in keeping up with
new developments in teaching.
•~our job as . educators is to
prepare students for their future
in the
21st century,"
said
Toscano.
"I feel very fortunate to be a
part of Marist. I'm starting my
fourth career at the same place,"
Toscano said. "M~rist gave me
the opportunities I · needed , to
grow."

One mother's _story---~:;~~~~?
when
a chil_d is
by Daisy Maxey
On.Jan. 31, 1972, four-year-old
William Joseph Farrell IV was
picked up by his father for a
weekend visit. He was never
returned.
William's · mother,
Jennifer
Rosman, has been searching for
her son for almost 12 years. She
has been to the police, visited
psychics; . registered with Child
Fin.~. and . retained at least 12
different lawyers, but still has no
idea of William's whereabouts.
At the time of William's ab-
duction, . his mother had legal
custody ·· through a separation
agreement. A felony warrant was
issued for her . husband's arrest
but neither he 'nor William have
been located ..
William's mother realizes that
the time which has passed
will
make it even more difficult to
find her son. "Billy was 4 years-
old when he left. He is IS now. I
have no idea what he looks like,"
she says. "The only thing I can
hope for is that he has maintained
family traits.
If
I saw him on the
street I wouldn't know him."
-
Still she maintains hope and
continues to search. "You don't
cry. You can't cry," she says.
"You have to keep together. You
have to learn to use your own
resources and you have to learn
that everything moves slowly. I go
through periods where I can't
handle it, then I back off for a
while."
Around the tragedy, Rosman
has somehow managed to piece
together a new life. She has
obtained
a
divorce
from
William's father, is remarried,
and has two young sons.
·
She describes the loss of her son
. as "a black cloud hanging over
everyone's head" and adds, ''No
matter how happy I am, there is
always a sad spot in my heart."
She says she feels certain that ·
William's father is taking care of
him physically but worries about
his emotional health. "I am sure
he is being taken
care_ of
physically. There
is
no question
about that. But I am worried that
maybe he is being tormented_ in
some way. I should have been
stronger in the beginning. I
should have_stood up more. Now
if anybody even tried ... " she
stops in midsentence, looks down,
and begins again more softly.
She says, "I try to think of the
positive things. If you remember
the bad parts your whole outlook
gets unproductive. It's not going
to bring Billy back for me to
wonder about him."
Kennedy agrees that finger"'."
prints are useful for identification
but said that they will not protect
a child. "They are one to9l that
should be used, but" fingerprints
are used to identify dead bodies."
According

Kennedy,

:· Thursday Morning Quarterback
John Bakke
H·ome, sweet_
home
Home courts can be great
advantages to basketball teams,
but often that advantage is due to
a number c,f elements.
-
But it starts with the
court. A
team that practi!:es and plays
on
the same
court six days out of
every seven
for months on end
gets to know it the way you might
know your own home. As one
coach told me, "By just looking
down at the floor, you'll know
almost exactly where
your are on
the court."
Then there
is the floor itself.
Most players who express an
opinion dislike the
one at Marist,
saying it's hard on the knees.
Wooden
floors seem
to be
generally preferred, with Notre
Dame's
being ·
this
season's
favorite.
·
But what does this have
to do
with aQything? I'm getting to
that.· The second element that
affects a team's advantage when
playing at
home is, of course, the
home crowd.
From what I've seen this year,
the· following superlatives hold
true: FDU fans are the crudest
and most ·tasteless in the con-
ference, while the ones at the
University of South Florida are
even worse.
Aside from one irate man who
ran almost on the court to argue ·
with an official, the Southern
Florida College fans were rather
sedate. lakeland ·is a retireee
town, basically, and the older
folks there prefer not to get all
riled up at the game, so as to help
prevent cardiac arrest.
Robert Morris fans are the
most devoted in the conference,
though it's hard to give them
a
lot
of credit for it. They all show up a
half hour before game time, but
it's not so impressive when you
consider that the place only seats
about
1,000,
and you have to get
there early to get a seat.
Which brings
us to Marist fans,
which actually rates fairly high in
the conference. The team's gotten
'
good attendence the last two
games and the fans have been
noisy. Controlled rowdiness is a
virtue at home.
Here's the point: four home
games are left, and two of them
are important conference games
(Siena and Robert Morris). After
Robert Morris is the conference
tournament on March 8-10.
For these last few home games
and the tournament -
which
could send the Red Foxes to the
NCAA tournament -
why don't
we (the Marist student body)
become the loudest, most sup-
portive crowd in the conference?
The terrible toilet tissue toss is
gone - because nobody's passing
the rolls out before the game.
Come on,
now. Let's
have
everybody bring their own. (From
where? Be innovative, you'll find
some. Unused, please.)

yelling for the tip-off, and it's a

Swimmers ride wave to the top
by Michael R. Murphy
The Marist College women's
swim team placed sixth out of 10
teams at the Metropolitan Swim-
ming and Diving Conference
Championships
at
Fordham
University last weekend.
The Red. Foxes scored 270
points for sixth-place behind the
first-place team and conference
champions Montclair State. ·
The Red Foxes are now 5-0 in
· the conference and 5-2 overall
with three dual-meets .remaining
· before the metropolitan cham-
pionshlps; Fe0:.23"-25-a:t'Hofsira.
The team was led by junior co-
captains Mary Marino (fifth-
place.
500-yard
freestyle),
Marguerite Brophy (eighth-place
200-yard backstroke), sophomore
Nancy Champlin
(eighth-place
SO-yard freestyle) and freshman
Lisa Ferenczy (third-place
so~
yard butterfly).
Also highlighting Marist per-
formances were a third-place
finish iri the 200-yard free relay
(Champl,in, Brophy, Marino and
Ferenczy), a fifth-place in the
400-yard free relay (Brophy,
Marino, Champlin, and Ferenc-
zy) and a sixth~place in the 400-
yard medley relay (Champlin,
Brophy,
Ferenczy,
and
sqphomore Laurie Des Jardins).
The first 12 places in each event
receive AII-Mefropolitan status.
Marist had five girls receive that
honor.
Marist
Head
Coach
Jim
Billesimo said he was pleased with
the team's performance. "As a.
first-year program Marist women
· impressed many other schools
with their team and individual
performances," he said.
.
_ ''The_ ... girls
performed
outstanding
individually
and
swam as a team to aid in our
sixth-place finish. Each girl aided
through improved _ time perfor-
mances and team spirit."
Billesimo said he thinks this
year's sixth-place finish can only
lead to a brighter future. "Having
no recruiting this year and getting
in· at least five girls next year, we
look forward to an improved per-
formance in
'85," he said.
Along with its sixth-place finish
in the championships, the first-
year women's swim team ac~
cumulated a 4-2 record in the
Metropolitcan Conference.
Meanwhile, the Marist men's
swim team, backed by the· school
record-setting
400
medley relay,
continued to remain undefeated
in the Metropolitan Swimming
Conference with a 66-48 victory
over Ramapo College last week.
Freshmen Fabrice Cuadrado,
Vinny Oliveto, Chris Chludzinski
and sophomore co-captain Pete
Asselin combined to form the
record-setting
400 ·
medley relay
team with a time of 3:56.00.
Cuadrado set a school record of
1:01.8
for
the
100-yard
backstroke in that relay.
Sophompre co-captain Dave
Luber increased the winning dual-
meet diving streak to 38 with vic-
tories in the one- and three-meter
diving events. _
Head Men's Swimming Coach
Larry VanWagner said he thinks
that Marist has a good chance at
winning the championships. "I
am very optimistic that if we beat
the City College of New York this
Saturday we should be able to win
-the Championships," said Van-
Wagner. "But, that meet is going
to
be so close that it won't be
decided until the very last event.''

the Marist men's ice hockey team
trounced New Jersey Institute of
Technology· last Saturday
in
South Orange, N.J., 10-7.

The victory increased Marist's
record to 1-11, after the Red
Foxes forfeited their first three
victories because of an infraction
or-· a Metro-East
Conference
roster rule. · The team failed to
submit a roster to the league on
time.
·
The contest, played at the
South Mountain Arena in South
Orange,
N.J., was a seesaw
battle, with
N.J.I.T. jumping to
an early 4-2 lead. Marist answered
with three straight goals and the
lead,
which
they
never
· relinquished.
The high-scoring game was
quite physical,· according to Rob
Caldiero, junior center.
Sophomore right winger Tim
Graham disagreed with Caldiero.
"There were a lot of high sticks,
but not much checking;" Graham
said.
"It
was a good skating
game."
Graham said the game should
not have been as close as it was.
"They (N.J.J.T.) shouldn't have
scored seven goals," he said.
· "There were a lot of defensive
breakdowns in front of the net."
Caldiero praised Head Coach
Jim Peelor's maneuvers against
N.J .I.T. "Coach put guys in the
right spot at the right time," he
said:
Leading scorers for Marist were ·
senior Jim McDonald with three
goals and John Mahar; who
netted two.
The team beat N.J.I.T. earlier
in the year by a score of 8-3.
In last Wednesday's contest,
the squad fell
7-5
to F.D.U. at the
Mccann Ice Arena.
The solid F.D.U. team took
Marist by surprise. "We didn't
expect F.D.U. to be as strong as
they were." Peelor said.
Junior Rob Trabulsi said, "We
were compatible talentwise with
F.D.U.,
but they were just
outskating
us."
Peelor noted that the six-week
layoff from practice had an effect
on the team's performance. "The
team didn't play bad considering
all the time they had off," he
said.
Trabulsi agreed. "Because of a
lack of ice time, we are missing
endurance," he said.
Graham said, "We didn't clear
the puck out of the front of the
net, maybe because we were
getting tired."
Peelor noted the strong play of
McDonald, Caldiero, and senior
left winger Al Pette against
F.D.U. Other than the roster
foul-up, Peelor attributes the
team's low record to a change in
the league structure.
The Metro East changed from a
three division league to two
regional divisions, according to
Peelor. This system cuts back the
travel that teams have, but it also
has a negative effect on Marist.
"One half of the teams we play
are Division One," Peelor said.
"It can get discouraging."
Trabulsi said the change makes
things more difficult for the team.
"It
is definitely tougher on us,"
he said. "we can keep up until a
certain point and then we just fall
apart."
Peelor
remains
optimistic
about the rest of the season. "We
are playing teams we normally
used to play the rest of the
season," he said. "The toughest
part of the schedule is behind us."
