don't know who's doing
it,"
she
said.
.
· A
lack of operable post office
boxes
.
throughout the campus,
saia several
·
employees, is one
large issue contributing to a lack
of'security.
..·
According
·
to John Pollack,
·
mail services supervisor at Marist,
the postal department is currently
in the· process of repairing the
college's 130 broken post· office
boxes
..
·
"How
can
you
maintain
adequate security and a student's
right to privacy when you have
two, three, four,
.
and in some
cases even five people sharing one
post office box in Champagnat,"
Ash said:.
·
Zimmermann, Ash and Julie
Rutledge, temporary mail services
.. ·
·
supervisor at. Marist, said
.
they
thought one major cause of the
·
theft and vandalism js a lack · of
student regard for
.the
college's
postal facilities and
·.
for one
·
another ...
"There are well over a hundred
broken boxes
_right
now. Som.e
·
.students seem to have little, if
any,
·respect
for others and our
.
postal system,''
.
Ash said. «I

.

.

Zimmermann
said
another
. possible cause for
the
✓
lack of
·
security is that each year students
·
are assigned different post office
boxes, but the college fails to
change box lock combinations.
According to Waters, security
guards patrol campus postal areas
several times each day and night
guards have not yet caught
anyone in the act of vandalizing
or· stealing. from post office
boxes.
··
Addressing the issue, Anthony
Campilii,
business/finance
of-
ficer at Marist, said it's difficult
.
to maintain tight postal. security
arnund the clock when post office
.
boxes
.
are
·
1ocaied
·
in several
·
·
different areas around campus.
"The current postal system was
designed and implemerited in the
l960s
when
the
resident
population at Marist was much
less than it is now," Campilii
·
said. "What I would like to do in
the near future, if we can find the.
space, is to consolidate the entire
Marist postal system,' having all
post office boxes in one central
location, to be· kept
.
under lock
and key at night."
·
In the meantime, Campilii,
·
who has been at Marist for 21
years said the college has already
done
·
several things . to stop theft
and· vandalism. Foe example, he
,said, the college. installed metal
plates on each posr office box in
the
·
place
of
see-through
plexiglass~
·
·
'!You've got to keep in mind
that these boxes are on the
-main
thoroughfare
·
in each of the
dormitories, and are easy prey for
almost anyone, especially during"
the night," Campilii said. "Many
times part of the blame lies with
the box's owner. Since many
owners keep
·
their combinations
set, for their own convenience, all
it would take for anyorie to open a
box is one turn of the dial to find
the last number of
.
the· com-
bination."
As
.
final
point,
Campilii
stressed that students should urge
their parents not to send them
cash
in the mail, but rather, to
send checks or certified mail
instead. "At least with a check or
certified letter, you're covered if
something
should
happen,''
Campilii said. "Once cash is lost
it's gone for good."

It's a rare thing these days to witness a
sincere act of charity. More and more, it
seems if people have interest in only the
materialistic aspects of life.
The concept
of expecting
personal
rewards in exchange for an ounce of work
has become common policy in our country.
The sad tl)ing is that this type of behavior is
not only exemplified
by the "younger
generation," but by society as

-
one that would

Marist
College, and that would be written, in part, ·
by'students of different disciplines.
After much thought and planning, The
Circle's editorial board decided to form an
Op-Ed page of opinionated essays. This
"Viewpoint"
page, which has been running.
ever since The Circle's Feb: 9 issue, is now
in danger of being.cancelled because of a
lack of contributors.
It's the same old story. People complain
about The Circle, claiming it is not "radical"
enough. But it is these same people who are .
too lazy to pick up a pen and write their own
opinions of what is happening in this world,
or even to submit an old opinion paper from
a class. "Viewpoint" is an invitation to both
faculty
members and students to peek
outside the Marist bubble and speculate on
.what is going on out there. It's an invitation
that people should take advantage of.
One of the first objectives of those who
plann~d the "Viewpoint"
page was, in
addition to looking at events and problems
in the outside world, to involve students of
wide-ranging interests. Since much of the
writing for The Circle is done by com-
time out to help those with Cystic Fibrosis.

Are .WoII1en fighting_ a losing battle?
by Jennifer Nash
"The prerogative of a man is to
command... the prerogative of a
woman is to obey."
··. Once spoken by Mr. Bumble in
Charles· Dicken's
Oliver Twist,
this statement still lingers in. the
mind~ of many today. And
although the. theory that women
should be kept "barefoot and
pregnant"
. has
faded .. away,
society has, nevertheless, trained
both· men and women to . believe
that.women are not as capable as
men of
holding
high-power
positions in the job market. '·
America has always believed in
the mobility myth: · ~egardless of
your
social· and
economic_
background, · you can,:, '.'pull
yourself up by your own• boot-
straps." Everyone has- the ·op-
portunity· to receive
a_
.higher
education, obtain a degree, and
enter the job · .market with a.
promising career. However, there
her own personal achievement
is a loophole in this myth, and · and pleasure.
that loophole is gender.
Gender bias can be loosely
defined as a predisposition. or
tendency to think about and
behave· toward people mainly
O{!
the basis of their .. sex. Likewise,
sexual harassment can be con-
sidered discrimination based on
sex. Women in the working world
are often confronted by ·sexual
discrimination, which puts man at
an unfair advantage.
·
. Jn the past, the male has been
the· sole breadwinner, while the
woman . remaili'ed at
home,
cooking, cleaning and taking care-
of . the · children. But in these
modern times, many women have
careers and work outside the
home. It may be because the
family needs - a. supplemental
income, or maybe she works for
Indeed,
role reversal may
occur, as did· in the case of John
Lennon and. Yoko Ono· Lennon.
She left the house each morning
and spent the day handling
financial matters and business
obligations. John stayed home,
playing
the
role
of
"househusband."
Because of these changes in our
society, the woman is now
qependent
upon · her . income.
Work is critical to her. survival
and independence. If she lacks
job alternatives, she could be
particularly
vulnerable to in-
timate violation in the form of
sexual abuse at work. Take, for
example, the case of Professor
Judith Zola, who was in need of
tenure in order to be assured of
her position at Ramapo College.
Sexual harassment can be seen
as the unwanted imposition of
sexual requirements in the context
of a relationship of unequal
power, such as that between a
supervisor and his subordinate.
Jack Waldman,
Ramapo ad-
ministator, allegedly realized the
situation and attempted to take
advantage of it. He said he could
help her to win tenure, if she
would submit to his sexual
desires,
a~cording
to
the
professor. Professor Zola ended
up suing the college.
The result of sexual harassment
can be firing for sexual non-
compliance, as it appears to have
been in the Ramapo case, or
retention
conditioned
upon
continued sexual compliance.
If
Professor Zola had agreed to
Waldma·n•s request, it may have
become a never-ending circle for
her in that in order for her to
continue
working
there,
she
would also have to continue to
have sex with him.
Sexual harassment
ruins a
woman's
potential
for social
equality. How can she be treated
as an equal in the office, when the
man only thinks of her in terms of
a suitable sex partner?
Sexual harassment at work, I
believe, uses a women's em-
ployment position to coerce her
sexually, while using her sexual
position
to
coerce
her
·economically .
Either way, it's a losing battle
for the woman, unless the courts
realize the full severity of sex
discrimination, and correct it

Admissions must still be pro-
mising the communication arts·
center to incoming freshmen,
because one of them asked me
about it last week. ·
He
·
was an innocent young
man, this high school senior, a
prospective communications ma-
jor. I saw him
·standing
near the
library with his parents, scrutiniz-
ing a
·map
of the campus. They
looked confused.
"Excuse me, can you help us
out?" he said as I tried to sneak
by unnoticed. I had this overdue
book, you see, and the library's
computer had been threatening to
do all sorts of horrible electronic
things to me. Something about
the Columbia Record
&
Tape
Club, I think ... but that's
another story.
"We're looking for where the
communication arts center will
be," said his mother, trying to be
helpful.
"It's supposed to be by the
townhouses,
according to
·
this
map," he added, also trying to be
helpful.
.
"Mmmph,"
said the father,
not being especially helpful.
I, too, tried to be helpful.
."I can't help you," I said,
thinking that, in the long run, this
would help them the most.

obvious that there would be no
easy way out of this.
-
'' Have you seen the Chapel?''
"We don't want to see the
Chapel," he said. "We want to
see the Lowell Thomas Center.''
"Yes," Mom agreed, "Harold
wants to major in communica~
tions, so the center is very impor-
tant to us."
"Mmmph,"
added Dad in
agreement.
"This Chapel is incredible," I
said.
"It
took
three Marist
Brothers
20 years to build it. All
they had was a phillips-head
screwdriver and a handsaw ... "
"We heard about all that."
"You did? Of course you did.
Everybody does. What exactly
were you told about the center?"
"Not a lot, really. Just that it
would be ready before Harold
graduates,'! said Mom.
'!A slow learner, are you,
Harold?"
"Heck no," Harold said, a lit-
tle insulted.
"Planning to attend part time,
then?"
·
"Of course not. Can you just
show us how much work has been
done? They said things were pro-
gressing on it.''
"Things are progressing?"
I
asked.
"That's what they said," in-
sisted Mom.
"Then it must be true," I lied .
"But you see, your things aren't
always their things, our things.
You see?"
"No."
"Well, your things are pro-
bably bricks or concrete
or
something along those lines.''
"Something like that,"
said
Mom.
"Mmmph," agreed Dad.
"Their things are more along
the lines of ... plans and draw-
ings, those sort of things."
"There's a drawing of what it
will look
like?"
This
was
Howard, looking hopeful.
"Not yet," I said, and they
seemed disappointed. "But,"
I
continued with all the optimism
I
could manage, "the architect's
working on it, and it'll be a big
day here at Marist when it comes,
I can tell you that."
"So you mean there's nothing
to see?" asked Mom. "Nothing
to do about this?"
"I wouldn't say that, exactly."
I pointed towards the Chapel.
"All things considered, a few
prayers couldn't hurt. You know,
'God bless the subcontractors,'
that sort of thing."
"I
don't understand all this,"
protested Harold. Poor kid, he
lqoked confused, betrayed, so
I
took him aside.
"Look,
Harold,"
I
said.

"The only problems l'm ex-
pecting are flat tires, loose bolts
and that sort of thing,"
said
Sciaretta. "I'm convinced that the
chair will make it.''
Bellantoni said that a recent
problem with shin splints is really
all that he's worried about. And
the spin splints, he said, are
something that he'll just have to
work around.
"(Marist Athletic Trainer) Glen
Marinelli has showed me how
taping my shins can help," he
said, "so I don't think it'll be too
much of a problem at this point."
In case problems do arise,
Bellantoni and Sciaretta will have
medical help close by at all times.
Freshman
Richard
Greer,
of
Nanuet,
N. Y.,
a
certified
Emergency Medical Technician,
will ride in
·the
van that is to
accompany the two throughout
the run.
Use of the van, which will be
driven by junior Ray Burns of Dix
Hills,
N. Y .,
is also the result of a
donation. A local rental com-
pany,
according
to
Special
Services Director Diane Perreira,
is charging them a very small
percentage of what it would
normally cost.
Bellaritoni and Sciaretta will
each be covering half the distance
·
from Boston to Poughkeepsie.
Switching off after each ten-mile
segment of the tre_k, they hope to
cover a total of 40 miles per day.
Perreira was quick to stress
how much work such a run can
actually be.
"20 miles a day may not seem
incredible, but when you do that
for five days, it can really take its
toll," she said.
From Boston, they will travel
on
Routes
20 and
23 in
Massachusetts
before
entering
New York near Hillsdale. They
will continue on Route 23 until it
turns
into
Route
9 above
Rhinebeck,
and then proceed
down Route 9 until they reach
Marist.
Bellantoni and Sciaretta both
_said
that they have been "run-
ning"·
60-70
miles a week in
preparation for the run. In ad-
dition, Sciaretta said he's been
lifting weights three nights a
week ..
Sciaretta said that the run is his
way of helping people see that
"disabled"
doesn't
mean un-
capable.
"I just hope that this year's run
will help to show how abled the
disabled really can be," he said.
Perreira said that the fund-
raising procedure will be different
this year.
Because· of the problems that
arose with the pledge system,
Perreira said that on-the-spot
donations are preferred this year.
She added that donating can be
made in the Office of Special
Services, room
181, Campus
Center.

~
b,:Jam~s Norman:
·
·on
February 13, Konstantin U.
Chernenko was.chosen to succeed
Yuri
Andropov
.
as
·
General
·
Secretary of the Central Commit-
tee of the Communist Party in the
Soviet Union.
'Two
weeks later, the chance for
better United States-Soviet rela-
tions inay be imminent, according
to
Dr. Casimir Norkeliunas, assis-
tant professor
of Russian and
German at Marist College.
"At this point, it looks very en-
couraging and very promising,"
Norkeliunas
said.
"He
(Chernenko)
is cautious in his
public statements about the U.S.
He's trying to create a climate for
peaceful negotiations.'·'
Norkeliunas
cautions
that it
may be a little early to draw con-
.
clusions. "There's a lot of guess-
.
ing going on," he said about what
the U.S. knows of the new Soviet
leader.
Norkeliunas
said the Soviets
want peace with the United States
out of necessity. fie said they
need the U.S. very badly for food
and technology.
"The
annual
·
annual
crop
failures necessitate buying wheat
·from·
the west," he said. "They
want. an open avenue for discus-
sion and trade for peaceful pur-
poses."
·
•
·
·
·
Norkeliunas
emphasized
that
the
_Soviet
people in particular
want to remain on peaceful terms
with the United States.
.
-"People
in the Soviet Union
have· the same pacifist attitude
towards war that we have. They
don't want any war," he said.
He said that in World War II,
the Russians lost over 20 million
people,
5
million of which were
army personnel. That leaves ap-
proximately
15
million Russian
civilians killed in the war.
"Their scars of World War II
have
not
healed
yet,"
Norkeliunas said. "They're
very
much afraid of war."
The Soviet government
often
points the finger at the U.S. in a
propogandistic way,_according to
Norkeliunas. He said the Soviet
government claims that the U.S.
has replaced Nazi Germany as the
ones who create warfare.
"The communist government,
through
·
propoganda,
creates
America as a boogey-man,
and
that we really are war-mongers,"
said Norkeliunas.
That
atti~ude could
change
under
Chernenko,
Norkeliunas
said. He said we should give the ·
new Soviet leadership a chance to
indicate to us that they wish for
peaceful co-existence
·
that was
present before the Reagan ad-
ministration.
"lf
we remain in this beligerent
state, we cannot deal in peaceful
negotiations,"
he said.
"This
bickering
between
these
two
· superpowers could reach a serious
level ... and niight bring us closer
to a war."
Norkeliunas
said he expects
Chernenko to pick up where An-
dropov left off in trying to raise
the standard
of living in the
· Soviet Union and clean up some
of the corruption inherent in the
working class of the country.
He said that for a long time the
Soviet people were promised that
the economy would produce a lot
of things to make the Soviet's life
easier. That has not happened, ac-
cording to Norkeliunas
.
"They don't even have enough
clothes,"
he said. "A pair of
good boots would make the Rus-
sian a lot happier."
Norkeliunas also said that there
was a great deal of indifference
·on
the jobs in the Soviet Union.
There
was
widespread
absenfeeism
from
work
and
cheating in labor.

To combat the mess, Tarantino
extended the work· week for the
maintenance staff. The staff, and
the electrician and the plumber as
well, now come in on Saturday
and Sunday.
Personnel were reassigned, so
that the better workers weren't
confined to one area of work.
. • Over intersession, the floors and
walls were washed in Leo,
Sheahan, Champagnat,
Benoit,
Gregory, the townhouses, and the
houses on Route 9.
Tarantino said that the dorm
rooms would be cleaned before
summer break. The ceilings and
the bathrooms
would also be
cleane(!. "We expect to do all the
rooms

summer," said Tarantino.
But Tarantino's pride and joy
is obviously the . "facelift"

They completed a similar project
in Leo and Shea,han over the
intersession.
Tarantino
described
the
seventh, eighth and ninth floors
of Champagnat as having "the_
worst walls in the building."
Floors orie through six just need
to be "freshened up."
·.
"I'm
trying to operate this
school," said Tarantino, "as I
would operate a hotel or a resort
or a hospital."
Heywood said he believes the
facelift will reap many benefits.
"When a residence hall looks
good," he said, "it's bound to be·
treated better."
However, vandalism remains a
problem that will not go away.
Heywood and Tarantino agree
that the problem is caused by a
small group of students and that
peer pressure is building to stop
it. Tarantino pointed to an in-
cident in Leo, in which students
encouraged another student to
stop throwing a ball in the
building,
as
evidence
that
residents are taking more pride in
their dorms.
According to Ornit Gross, the
Champagnat residence director,
some students came back from
intersession
"very
active."
Hence, she said, window5 and
furniture have been broken, some
cans of paint have been stolen,
and the rug from the fourth-floor
lounge was taken.
In addition,
some residents
continue to launch projectiles
from their windows. Champagnat
is surrounded by bottles, boxes
and food. Residents have been
notified
·
by memos and house
meetings, said Gross, that the
littering is taken seriously. But
Gross did say, however, that
maintenance has improved in-
credibly since last semester.

Lewis says he is trying to
achieve a. certain content and
meaning in his painting.
"I'll often start with an idea
that is serious but the painting
often ends up in a humorous
vein," Lewis said.
One example of this humor is
the oil on canvas painting,
·
"Dangerous Cargo." It depicts a
rather unassuming man steering a
rowboat with a bear twice his si2.e
sitting calmly behind him.
·
Lewis 'often employs this subtle
humor and he is always interested
in audience reaction to his works.
One unique display in Lewis'
exhibit is actually two paintings,
"Jesus and the Fig Tree" is
composed of a profile of Jesus
looking left toward: the second
painting, a fig tree on a bright
yellow background. This piece is
also accompanied by a Biblical
excerpt.
Lewis' favorite of the ten
paintings
.
displayed
is "The
Impressionists to the Rescue."
The painting shows a man
falling through a frozen pond. As
two others try to save the
drowning man, there are two
more who simply stand and watch
the events.
·
"This painting is the most
symbolic and symbolism may be
the theme I pursue next in my

Richard Lewis was born in
Queens, New York in
1955.
He
attended five colleges before
receiving a B.F.A. in visual arts
from the State University of New

Lewis does not limit himself to
one medium.

said.
"When I was in high school, it
was hard to choose between a

Although he chose to paint with
colors rather than words, perhaps
each painting also contains ideas
characteristic of a great novel.

Frustration
is the most ap-
propriate word to describe Jim
McDonald's senior season with
the Marist College hockey team. . .
The man who has been called the
"Wayne'
Gretzky
of
Marfst
hockey" played his final home
game in a Red Fox uniform on
February
15 at the Mid Hudson
Civic Center. Marist lost that
game to Fordham 10-4.
That game was particularly ·
frustrating
for McDonald. · He
would have loved to win his last
home game, but it was not to be.
"We've had a rough year,"
said McDonald after the For.-
dham game. "We've
had · ex-
cellent seasons since 1 've been
here. Some years you're hot ... "
McDonald has been hot ever
since he.came to Marist four years
ago. He has had an outstanding
career on the ice for Marist, ·
leading them to the playoffs his
first three years. His play has not
gone unnoticed by his teammates.
"He's the best player on the
team," said Tim Graham,· the
right wing who played oh the
same line with McDonald this
year. "He's the main offense on
the team. He's going to be hard to
replace."
McDonald will graduate as the
leading scorer in Maris! history
and is the only graduating senior
on the squad.
"We're a young, young team,"
said McDonald. '.'Next year
I
think we're going to be hot and
the year to follow
I think we'll be
even better."

reader of this column will know.
Nonetheless, the letter bothered
me because I realized that many
might not know what kind of
coach Marist has had. I'm not
talking about half-court presses
or matchup zones here -
from an
objective coaching standpoint,
it's probably time for a change.
· But when the entire campus
reads that • 'the class that he has is
an embarassment to the entire
college," I think some might not
think twice about it, might start
to believe it. I have dealt with
Coach Petro and have gotten to
know him to a moderate degree,
and believe me he deserves better.
As far as not being on the court
for Siena's awards presentation, I
agree that it would have been a
nice gesture. But it also would
have been unexpected and pro-
bably unnoticed. In all,
it
didn't
matter.
· There is a wide variety of
coaches in basketball. Some are
arrogant, some abusive to of-
ficials,
others
constant
com-
plainers. Many of them coach
players,·not people.
But Petro took a genuine in-
terest in his players, helping them
· whenever necessary and welcom-
ing them into his home. To say his
team is a family would be a·cliche,
and
it
wouldn't quite be true. But
it would be close.
Earlier this season, a player
suffered a personal tragedy - the
death of his mother. The funeral
came when the team was on the
road. What do you do in that
situation?
Petro flew home and attended,
missing two road practices. An
outstanding
humantarian
act?
· No. Just an example, one of
many.
He's not the Mother Teresa of
basketball,
and
he's
not
a
coaching genius. The new coach
will most likely improve the
basketball program faster than
Petro would have, were he to con-
tinue.
But to cheer his departure, call-
ing him an embarrassment to the
school, is an injustice. And you
can say I said so.

Ramapo jumped to an early 1-0
lead, but Marist fought back and
knotted the score at two after one
period. The teams then skated to
a 4-4 tie after two periods.
With \ess than three minutes re-
maining, the Red Foxes clung to a
slim

advantage. Ramapo tied
the score with 2:07 remaining,
· and went ahead to stay 40 seconds
later .

Trabulsi missed the van ride to .

The team also -lost junior John

Caldiero praised the overall
play of the team.
"It

-game we've played all year," he
said. "There was good passing,
showing we played as a team,
which we haven't done all season.
"We also played solid defense
but we just tired out becaused of

said
Caldiero, who played the whole
game. "They (Ramapo) were a

Co-captain McDonald praised
goalie Chris Sked, who fielded
Ramapo's

goal.
Marist had 34 shots on goal.
Along with Caldiero's
five
points, leading scorers for Marist
included John Deardon (three
