Vandalism

Continued from page 1
and
were
not Marist students,
according to Waters.
A caridy machine in Leo Hall
was also vandalized - sometime
between 10 p.m. Saturday night
and 3:20 a.m. Sunday. Money
and c,indy were taken from the
machine,
which
constitu_tes
·
larceny and criminal mischief,
Waters said.
_
_
_
It
was also discovered at about
·
3 a.m. Saturday that vandals· had
pulled the flagpole on Leonidoff
Field down into a bent position.
The last incident, which oc-
curred behind Campus Center,
involved a window being broken.
It was discovered Sunday mor-
ning. It is not known exactly
when it happened.
Birth. Control
Continued from page 1
of birth control is beyond me, but
I think they should provide some
form of birth control education.
With
·
the advent of the closed~
circuit-·
,television
·on
·
campus,
channels six and eight, the college
could provide low-cost birth
control education for the student
body.
By
renting or purchasing a
videocassette, it could be aired on
the television
in
the. privacy of
.a
student's own room," said
Keith
Galanti, president of the Council
of Student Leaders.
There are some people on
campus, however, who do not
promote the issue of birth control
provided by the college because it
may be an intervention in the role
of parenting.
"The very definition of the
college,
in
terms
·
of tradition,
would have a hard time with this.
These attitudes migh~ be usurping
the parental role," said Laurence
Sullivan, counselor and assistant
professor of religious studies.
By
providing contraception on
campus, the college may be
overlooking the real needs of the
_
students, such as counseling,
according to Sullivan.
"In
makirig something
so
available to theIJl, is
-
the college
really serving their· needs? Does
the institution really know what
they're doing?" said Sullivan.
Rather than just
-
begin giving
out
birth
control,
Sullivan
suggested that students should
take advantage of counseling and
informational programs· offered,
but he said that there seems to be
a kind· of apathy concerning such
functions.
"I believe presently that the
. counseling is adeq!)ate,
.
and I
would like to see more, but it is
the students' responsibility to
demonstrate their need," said
Sullivan.
·
Though the issue of providing
- birth control on campus still
remains unresolved; the college
offers counseling through which
.
students can seek advice
-
or just
speak openly. and confidentially
about any issue of importance
to
them.
, The counseling center is lo_cated
in the Campus Center; room
180A,
and is open Monday-
Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Roberta
Aina to is the coordinator, with
Yvonne Poley, Philip
·
Hall and ·
Laurence Sullivan on staff as
counselors.
"My main concern is the
students. There could be a student
who thinks she's pregnant, or a
student who thinks he's caused a
pregnancy, and I'd like them to
know the counseling center is
available," said Amato.
The issue of birth control on
campus raises
·
a question of
morality, but according to some
people, the absence of
·
con-
traception could lead to more
serious
alternatives,
such as
abortion.
"I feel abortion is more im-
moral than contraception.
·
At a
college that stressf'.s morality,
where do you draw.the line?" said·
John Germain, a sophomore
from Huntington, N.Y.

said Cernera.
Midterm pressure getting to you? You're not alone
byJoeLezoU
How can one tell when he or
she is under stress? Many times
pressures build slowly, making
it difficult to tell whether or not
what· one is feeling is indeed
stress.
"I
know

term. I meant to study more, but
'there
were always other things

"My parents are gonna love

"No Mike,

"God - I need a drink."
Do any of these situations
sound familiar?
The Syosett
High School
Improvisational
Group
demonstrated
on Feb.
29,
in
Fireside
Lounge,
that
"'-academics, parental conflicts,
peer pressure
and romantic
problems
are several things
college students worry about.
Roberta Amato, coordinator
of counseling services at Maris!,
r
agrees that these stress-causing
subjects are things many Marist
students deal with daily -
some
effectively and some not.
"Stress
is a physiological
reaction
_to
something
that
frightens you or makes you
angry," Amato said. "We all
have some in our lives and deal
with it in our own way.· A
certain amount is even good for
you."·
·
-
Stephen
Bentley,
up-
perclassmen mentor, said there
are
two
types of stress, one
being helpful and the other
destructive.
'.'Eustress
is
beneficial
to
the individual
insofar as
it
sharpens awareness
and
quickens
the
reflexes,
causing one to grow as a per-
son,"
Bentley said. "Distress
only
reduces
the
person's
capacity to respond to life's
situations."
Bentley
said
the
distinguishing factors between
eustress and distress are the
amount of stress placed on the
individual and the way he or she
perceives it.
"If ·
one sees a
stressful situation as a challenge
or as a chance to prove oneself
and get ahead, it's useful and
.
promotes
growth,"
Bentley
said.
According to Amato, stress
affects
an
individual's
autonomic nervous system, by
increasing the heart, pulse and
breathing rates.
"If
a person is
under a great deal of stress for a
prolonged period of time, and
isn't
dealing
.
with
it
con-
structively, it_ can manifest itself
physically as with migraines,
stomach aches, and by wearing
resistarice down, leaving one
vulnerable
to
viruses
and
colds,"
Amato said. ."Some
long-term effects include hair
loss, ulcers and high_ blood
pressure.,,
Pat
Tuceling,
assistant
director
·
of college activities,
said decreased mental capacity
and depression are two of the
psychological
effects
of
prolonged periods of distress.
"It's a vicious circle. When
you're under too much of the
wrong kind of stress it can cloud
your thinking, preventing you
from dealing with situations in a
positive manner, as you might
normally,"
Tuceling
said.
"When you realize you're not
handling things effectively, you
feel as though you have no
control over your own life. This
causes even more stress and
depression."
Tuceling said many times
students turn to alcohol or drugs
to reduce the pressure, which in
the long run only complicates
matters. "Drugs and excessive
alcohol
only
mask
the
problem,"
Tuceling
said.
"What you have to do is go
deeper, to the cause of the
stress, and work on alleviating
it.,,
Learning to assert oneself,
Amato said, is an important
trait when dealing with stressful
situations. "When you stand up
for your rights, you feel as
though you have control over
your life," Amato said. "This
reduces stress."
According to Fred Gainer,
commuter mentor at Marist,
mid-semester is a particularly
stressful time of the school year,
when
he often
sees many
students upset by their midterm
grades. · "Some
classes
are
relatively simple until the mid-
term period. That's when many
students realize they haven't
been studying enough, and that
they
may
be
in academic
trouble,"
Gainer said. "After
this point, classes usually get
progressively
more
difficult,
with more exams, term papers
and finals."
Although
relaxation
techniques such as exercise,
meditation, yoga, hobbies and
getting away for awhile are
positive ways to release some of
the physiological responses our
bodies
have
toward
stress,
Gainer said the key to per-
manently
coping
with
and
overcoming it is within our own
minds.
"We can learn
to
control and
build up tolerance
to
stress by
simply
accepting
our
own
feelings
and
by
taking
responsibility for our actions,"
Gainer said. "By sitting back
and letting things happen to us,
we become angry, depressed and
feel helpless. We must first learn
to
accept the things we can't
change, and second, be assertive
enough to take control of our
lives, and change the things we
can."

Give a little
While Mariststudents
and administrators
march down 5th Ave. in the St. Patrick's Day
parade next week, something wonderful will
be happening elsewhere on the map.
The event will still be going on while most
students are returning to school oh the train
to Poughkeepsie
or driving
back from
Florida; two fellow students, one of them In
a wheelchair, will be headed toward Marist
on a
six-day, 200-mile run from Boston to
benefit Marist's Special Services program.
·
The runners have set for themselves an
·
unofficial goal to beat the amount raised
.
during last year's run~
a modest
$1,500.
It
is sad to say that at the current rate they're
collecting,. the charltable runners may not
even raise that amount.
What's wrong with us?.: Is a small dona-
tion· too much
.
to ask? The excuse that
students have no money is
a
poor one -'-
If
·each
student at Marist sacrificed the dollar
he would so readily throw on a bar counter
for a beer, the runners would more than ac-
complish their goal.
But students- are not the only ones to
blame for the lack of recognition that Frank
Sclaretta and Tony Bellatonl have been get-
ting for the great undertaking they have
planned. The runners made numerous re-
quests that "Marist Runs For The Disabled"
be announced at the basketball games. The
announcement
was heard at only one of
four games. How many seconqs does It take
to announce It? Two Marist students, one of
whom is disabled himself, have been condi-
tioning for months in advance to run
40
miles a day, but apparently its too much to
ask that an announcer say a few words

And ironically enough, it seems
as
if the.
run has attracted more attention off campus
than it has here.
If.
local businesses and
hotels and restaurants that stretch from

care
about

Special
Services program why
don't we? At least one group on campus has
been giving of themselves to the cause -
members of the Circle K Club are commend-
ed for volunteering to collect donations.

Think about it.
It
happens all the time. A
few good people work like dogs in an at-
tempt to accomplish
what many could do
with the wave of their hands. Not everyone

200
miles, but certainly anyone who
can afford to pay tuition· at Marist can
donate a little to make the·effort worthwhile;
And these same people can certainly show

up to greet the exhausted runners when
they arrive during lunchtime at the cafeteria
a week from Monday.
·-.Scaildal?
The editorial
staff was surprised
last
week
to learn that The Circle was "surpress~
ing" a campus sex scandal story.
·
•
We knew nothing about that. The article
does not involve a sex scandal. Rather, it
deals with the provisi9n of contraceptives
on this campus, and appears on the front
page of this issue.
·
.
··
. ·
To clear the air, whatThe Cirlce did was
to delay the publication
of this article in
order to confirm information contained in it.
This was done as a measure of journalistic
responsibility,
not as a means of covering
up a controversial issue.
•
·
·
We believe that the readers have a right to
know what's going on. But we also believe
that the information, be it facts or personal
quotes, should be accurate. The editorial
staff cannot go with the reporters and hold
their hands during the interviews.
·
Our job is
·
to • oversee and edit the
reporters' finished products; which includes
checking the. names, numbers,facts,etc.·for
accuracy. When errors are found, they're
corrected before the story is printed. If the
story's validity
is still questioned,
it is·
withheld from the paper.
·
The Circle staff is not made up of profes-
sionals; We're all students trying to gain ex-
perience for future use, when we. hope to
write and edit as part of our careers.
·
However, being students doesn't mean
we can't attempt to run the paper.In
a
pro~
fessional
manner. We realize that some
mistakes are made, and as editors we take
responsibility for them.
·
In relation to the
-story
in question, we
chose to avoid printing potential mistakes.
We stand by our decision.

Correction
Dear
Circle
Editor:
I am
·writing
in an attempt to
set the record
.straight
concerning
the lecture by· Dr. Thomas
H.
Murray given on February 2nd
about the Baby Jane Doe"case. In
an article in the February 9tl1
Cir•
cle,
the writer confused two cases
about which Dr. Murray spoke,
.
interchanging the
·
circumstances
.
of both and referring to them as
one ~ase - that of Baby Jane Doe
which has been recently debated
in the courts.
·
Dr. Murray was referring to a
case which occurred several years
ago
in
Illinois as
"Baby
Doe
-
Bloomington" and to the recent
case as "Baby Jane Doe"· at
various intervals during his talk.
The Bloomington case was one of
a child with Down's Syndrome
who
had
an
interchanged
esophageal passage and trachea
which. could have been. surgically
corrected though at some
·risk
to
the infant. Dr. Murray felt that
·
this risk was worth taking and
that the biased feelings of the doc-
tor in this case influenced the con-
fused parents to allow their child
to die because this doctor had a
negative view
of
the quality of life
that individuals with Down's Syn-
drome could achieve.
..
Dr. Murray did not take a
stance regarding the- Baby Jane
Doe case,·
as he said the informa-
tion about the child's condition
was conflicting.
The
lawyer
fighting
against
.
Baby Doe's
.parents said her spinal. cord was
exposed at a lower position than
.
at the neck where the lawyers and
·
doctors on the parents;
··-.
side
claimed exposure began. • Ex-
posure beginning at the neck
.
would
make
.
the
child
a
quadraplegic, whereas exposure
starting
lower·
on the spine would
not necessarily do so. Only after
this discrepancy. is resolved can
one take a position as to whether
corrective surgery for this child
would serve to preserve cir extend
her life.
I hope this serves• in some
respect to correct any misconcep-
·
tions that have arisen as a result
of the misstated facts of the arti-
cle.

Phlegm again
Dear Editor,
.
Contrary to what Mr. Llorente ·
may
·
think, his ostentatious ooz-
.
ings of the oral cavity were. not
:
the most important happenings
on the. campus thus far this
semester. He achieved his objec-
tive in becoming the.center of at-
tention for a brief period, but
now that all the initial furor has
receded, what does.he have left?
I, too, feel very sorry for him. For
one fleeting moment people knew
him. The dog has had his day.
Having something really impor-
tant to say would have caused him
to
.
house a longer stay in· our
memory, and I truly do not think
it is due to student apathy.
All along, I have been keeping
.
up with the editorial pages of The
Circle. What you were trying to
say were inane, banal opinions.
You have: Misjudged most of the
Marist student population; been
obviously ~linded
_as
to how any
institution acquires its t'unds; no
understanding
of

between alcohol and the college

Many
students supersede th~
standards set by Marist (obvious-
ly;·. anywhere you can find
students going to college and not
applying themselves academical-.

.
Marist should establish itself as
a
college proficient in computer
science because
of its proximity to
IBM. This can. allow numerous·
computer experts to teach at
Marist, as well as exposing

the
students to the latest available

The Soviet Union has. always

has con-
sistently evaded the truth; and
most recently, when their now

they continued to deny the fact
of his failing health. Even an issue
as trivial as this plagues us with
intrigue. What can we expect with

It's only been five months since

When has the Soviet Govern-
ment exhibited any integrity with

America

It
is American grain that
feeds the Soviet people and yet the
Government that claims to be the
best for their people consistently
displays behavior that is to the
contrary and everi hostile.
.
The Soviet Union has grown to
be an aggressive and threatening

to be concerned with perpetuating
what they see as their own self
interest and unrest around the
world.

Midterm grades are curious
things.
They are, or can be many dif-
ferent things to different people. I
really ought to be used to them by
now; after all, they come around
t~ice a year.
They don't have midterms in
the intersessions, as far as I know,
because there wouldn't be much·
point to them. You'd walk in and
by the end of the first class you'd
be gettjng midterms.
.
My' own
middle-of-the-
semester grades tend to change
from term
to
term. Sometimes
they're good, sometimes not.
They're just like everybody's, as
far as I know, except Ralph's. His
are always outstanding, . but I'll
get to hiin later.
The
real
phenomenon
of
midterms is how sometimes they
count
for
something
and
sometimes
they · don't.

earlier a year from now on.
He ·said that the departure of
Vincent Toscano, who recently
-
resigned as Dean of Academic
Programs and Services, is a big
part of the current delay in
finding a speaker.
Molloy said that Toscano had
acted as chairperson
of the
Convocation
Day Committee
before he left for a sabbatical at
the end of last semester.
And Toscano's position has
only recently been filled. Mary
Beth Scalice, the acting executive
assistant to the academic vice
president, arrived at Marist in
early February.
Scalice, who is taking on the
bulk of the planning respon-
sibilities· despite her newcomer
status,
said that the biggest
challenge she's found in over-
seeing Convocation Day is fin-
ding a way to meet the needs of
each segment of the Marist
population.
Two weeks ago, the Council of
Student Leaders made a request
to have voter registration as the
Convocation Day theme. But the
administration
had
previously-
decided upon human rights in
general as they were looking for
an issue.
Scalice said
that
because
Convocation Day is for everyone
on the Marist campus, it should
be able to meet wants and needs
of the different groups involved.
"I think this should be a
special
day for
everyone."
she said. "It's
not just a day for the students,
but it's not just for the faculty
and administration either."
Scalice said that the C.S.L.'s
request for voter registration as a
.·
topic
was
definitely reasonable.
·
And even though it won't be the
sole issue presented at Con-
-
vocation, she said it will be part
of the general topic discussed .•
"There's no way to discuss
huma~ rights without delving into
what's going on right now in the
area of politics," she said.
Scalice said she planned to meet
with Galanti and CUB President
Jim Barnes before spring break to
discuss ways to incqrpoiate voter
registration into the broader topic
of Human Rights that the ad-
.
ministration had already chosen.
She pointed to more student
involvement in
_
fue planning of
the event as a good way to curtail
_
some of the student apathy that
Convocation
Day
may
have
suffered in the past.
"Having student participation
in the planning of such a day will
help enhance their interest in the
issues
·
that
are
eventually
presented," Scalice
said.
Scalice said that in addition to
Molloy,
·
Galanti,
Barnes and
herself, the Convocation Day
Planning
Committee
includes
Anthony
Cernera,
executive
assistant
to
the
president,
Elizabeth Ross, registrar, Fr.

mathematics,
Nadine
Foley,
assistant professor of philosophy,
Kevin
Donahue,
chairman,
division

and
Dorothy Hill-Earle, new faculty
member in the social work
department.
Scalice said that she wasn't sure
how much longer it would take
for the commiuee to reach a final
decision as to the topic and
speaker.
But she said she's
confident that the decision that is
made will cover the priorities of
every
segment
of
Marist's
population.

bother her too much. "The job is
very time consuming of course,
but she has a very positive at-
titude and has trained extremely
hard. She'll overcome it."
The job has not seemed to
bother her to much. Just recently
at the Dartmouth Relays, Brown
broke the American indoor record
in the 500-meter hurdles as she
ran a 1.10.07 seconds. She was
just
.04
tenths of a second off the
world indoor record.
.
Both Brown and her coach said
they feel that she has an excellent
opportunity to make the Olympic
team, in which only the top three
runners are chosen. They are,
however, a little hesitant to make
any predictions of her bringing
home a medal. "She'll definitely
make the team, barring any fur-
ther injuries," Stegen said. "But
a medal is hard to predict right
now."
.
"I'm sure I'll make the team "
Brown said. "But the Europea~s
are going to be extremely tough to
·
beat. Just making the team is a
dream come true."
·
Dreams and good luck seem to
fall on the American athletes
where they are least expected.
Just recently Bill Johnson won
America's first gold medal in the
downhill in Olympic history. And
some of you may recall how the
1980 U.S. Hockey Team stunned
the world when they stole the gold
from the owerful Russians.
If,
however, 1984 doesn't bring
gold to Edna Brown she will not
be too disappointed.
"If
I don't
win a medal at least I will know I
gave it my best shot," she said.

Circle to skip a few .weeks, so
allow me to pass along a few
items and observations, some new
and some not so new, that haven't
found their way into other col-
umns or stories.
Athletic Support
Nearly 300 rolls of toilet paper
hit the court after the first point
in the Siena game.
It was a
record, or at least I'm going to
say it was, and should stand as
such until next season unless it
gets topped during_· the tourna-
ment. It seems· unlikely, because
nobody is bringing their own rolls
anymore.
Perhaps tonight we can renew
student support with 100 or so
rolls. This is, after all, the con-
·
ference championships. Roll or
not, everybody without plane
reservations to Florida tonight
really ought to be at the game, as
far as I'm concerned.
Mixed Emotions?
With the basketball team just
one game under a winning season,
victories tonight and tomorrow
will guarantee at least a .500
finish for the team. That
.
will
mean that Coach Ron Petro's last
season here will not be a losing
one, might even be a winning one.
And three wins in the next three
days will put Petra's Red Foxes,
in their third year in Division
One, in the
NCAA
tournament.
Quite an accomplishment for so-
meone that has effectively been
dismissed as coach by Marist.
Some people are going to look
slightly foolish if it happens; I'll
bet that
·
somewhere on campus,
men worry about
it.
You have to
wonder if they're getting a few
gray hairs, all the while hoping
for a nice, exciting one-point loss
on Saturday.
The Coach Cometh
By the time we all get back (and
isn't everyone anxious to do just
that) the new basketball coach
should have been announced. The
committee's goal was to present a
name in time for negotiations and
a
final
settlement
by
next
Thursday.
If
by some case the press con-
ference hasn't been held by then,
check to see if the University of
Virginia hasn't been eliminated
from the
NCAA
tournament.
If
Virginia's still alive and the new
coach is still a mystery, it's a good
bet that Marist came up with the
cash. needed to get a big name like .
Larranaga.
. .. And the Winner
At the risk of being completely
wrong, I'm going to make some
quick predictions about the tour-
nament.
Ian O'Connor,
who
wrote the tournament preview ar-
ticles, says the Robert Morris Col-
onials should win it, so you can
all blame him if they do.
1,
on the other hand, think
Robert Morris will have to get by
two teams that are ripe for an
upset -
Wagner and either Siena
or FDU-
Odds are one of the
two teams they face will pull it
off. Siena seems like a surprise
finalist.
Facing the Indians will be ...
oh, what the hell -
Marist. The
Foxes have more than a home
court advantage, they have· the
strongest bench in the conference.
So if they make
it
to Saturday
(after that 2-point win over LIU)
they'll be in better physical shape
than anyone. Biased picks? Of
course - aren't yours?
And if, just if, all this happens,
Siena won't have a prayer. Only
one big upset is allowed per team,
and the Indians will already have
had theirs.
Marist lost its opening Match
to Fordham, 1-0. Coach Howard
Goldman said he was pleased with
the way the team played. "There

has made this trip. "We took this

By
no means will this trip be

Skaters_ close season with lbss
·to·
Kean
..
by Peter Colaizzo
The Marist men's ice hockey team con-
.
eluded its season with a heartbreaking loss
··
1ast week to Kean College, 9-8, in Union,
.
N.J.
..
.
After forfeiting-three wins earlier in the
,
season because of a league· roster infrac-
tion, the team finished with a dismal
1-16
record.
·
_
·
Against Kean, the crucial point in the
.··
game came with 1 :4 l remaining and Marist
trailing 8-7.
A
Kean player was called for a
two-minute penalty, leaving Marist with a
-
one-man advantage the rest of the game.
Marist Coach Jim Peelor then opted to
·
pull goaltender Chris Sked from the game,•
giving Marist
a
two-man advantage but no
goaltender.
The result of the move was a length-of-
the-ice, I 90 foot shot by Kean, which sailed
into the open net untouched with
I
:34 re-
maining in the game. Kean now led 9-7 .
Marist answered back· quickly. Senior
center Jim McDonald, playing in his last
game, fired a shot in from the blue line to
narrow the score to 9-8 with 1 :25 on the
clock.
The Red Foxes battled to tie but could
not capitalize on many scoring oppor-
tunities the rest of the game; losing by one
goal.
Peelor's decision to pull the goalie was
not popular with his players. "He's the
coach and he's got to. do what's best, but
you don't pull the goalie
·with
that much
time
(1
:41) left," said sophomore left
winger Tim Graharri, who led
·Marist
with
five goals.
"They're killing the penalty and they
would be trying to ice the puck," Graham
said. "There were too many risky chances,
but it was his final decision."
Junior Rob Caldiero· said, "It wasn't a
bad move but we should've had another
guy back to prate.ct the net.''
Caldiero did not think pulling the goalie
cost the Red Foxes the game.
"If
they
didn't
score
then
maybe
Jimmy
(McDonald) wouldn't have scored in that
situation," he said.
·
Peelor defended his move, saying: "We
weren't playing for the tie but for the win.
It (the shot) was a freak. It went through a
bunch of players.
"By creating the 6-4 advantage we had a
pretty good edge," Peelor said.
"It
just
backfired on us."
Earlier in the game, Kean jumped to a
quick 2-0 advantage and lead
3-1
after one
period. After two periods Kean held a
5-3
lead.
Marist answered with three goals at the
start of the third period and led
6-5
with
15
minutes remaining.
Kean responded with three consecutive
goals• as the Red Foxes had "a few
breakdowns in front of the net," according
to Graham. Graham's fifth goal then nar-
rowed the score to
8-7.
Graham's five goals represent his highest
total ever in a game. He credited his team-
mates for '' lots of good assists.''
"They
weren't tough goals, but they
were more or less just being at the right
place at the right time," Graham said.
