by

The reputation of the Marist
College Institute of Public Opi-
niori continued to grow last week
as Newsweek magazine published
a story_ about t_he six-year-old
polling service.
. ...
_•The story, which appeared in
the magazine's March
26
issue in
the education section, was titled
"The Student Pollsters." The ar- --
tide pleased the institute's direc-
tor, Dr. Lee Miringoff,
who
· described himself in the article as
- the "Howard Cosen of Dutchess
County."
Because ofthe institute's con-
sistent accuracy in telling it like it
is; the results

Marist polls have
app_eared in numerous publica-
tions, -including Newsweek and
The New York Times. Since the
article
in Newsweek hit the
newsstands, Miringoff has receiv-
ed inquiries from Time magazine.-
as well as NBC and ABC.
"We were very satisfied with
the coverage," said Miringoff of
the article. Miringoff said he was
particularly glad · that the story
focused on the students who con-

Dorm visitation policy gets mixed reactions
by Peler Colaizzo
The housing offkc has initiated
a new policy, requiring visiting
students to leave their IDs with
entry
officers
upon
entering
residence
halls,
according · to
Robert Heywood,
director
of
housing.
Bef9rc this new rule, which
became effective
after
spring
break; students only had to sign
in to the residence halls if they did
not live there.
Now visi1ing-
s1uden1s must both sign in and
leave their IDs.
Students may pick up their IDs
upoi1 leaving the building. At the
end of their shift at 7 a.m., entry
officers bring all IDs not picked
up· to the residence director, ac-
cording lo Heywood. These· IDs
may be obtained the next day,
Heywood said.
Any unauthorized
overnight
stays "would have to be address-
ed," he added.
· Guests of students must still
obtain a guest pass and ~vait at the
entry officer's desk for the host
student, according 10 Heywood.
. The guest must be accompanied
by the host in order to enter the
building, he said.
Heywood said the reason for
the change in policy was that
stu.dents were not signing in pro-·
perly. "There was no active step
being taken," he said. "With this
system we can better monitor .
when people leave the building.''
When asked why the switch was·
made in the middle of the
semester, Heywood said there
were concerns about the system
because
students
were
not
cooperating.
Platt::to· step
down;
no successor chosen
by
Eileen Hayes
Dr.
Richard Platt, chairman of
the Division of Arts and Letters,
has announced
his ·resignation
from his post as chairman. Platt
said he will continue to teach in
the Communication Arts depart-
ment after he steps· down July 1,
1984.
Platt said his decision was
made
for
several · reasons.
"Because
I've
been
an
ad-
ministrator for seven years,
I
feel
I can serve the institution better
and be more satisfied with my
position as a member of the facul-
ty,'' he said.
Platt would not comment as to
whether his salary had anything
to do with this decision.
is so large and diverse it creates
problems for the administrator to
. operate the division and make
plans for the future," he said.
Platt said he has two criteria
for his job -
productivity and
satisfaction. He said part of his
decision
included
not
being
satisfied with what he was doing.
"However, growth in productivi-
ty was significant, although not as
much·as I would have liked," he
said.
.
As of yet, no one has been.
selected to be Platt's successor. A
meeting is planned for tomorrow
with Academic Vice President
Andrew Molloy to address the
division about this process.
"There were all sorts of people
in the buildings
that · didn't
belong,"
Heywood
said.
"Students were waking up in the
middle of the night to find in-
truders in their rooms." .
Entry policy ai other colleges
and universities varies, according
to
Heywood. "Some schools do
not have any (entry policy) while
others have locked doors 24 hours
··a day," he said.
Heywood said that the rest of
this semester will be a "trial
period" for the new system. Al
the end of the semester the system
will be evaluated and may be
modified.
Heywood said he does not
think the new policy at Marist in-
. fringes on individuals' rights. The
-idea is 10 provide a safer environ-
ment against intruders, he said.
"There is no reason for it to be
a hassle," Heywood said. "The
only people it should bother are
people who don't belong in the
building."
While Heywood said that a
safer
environment
would
be
created, entry officers noted pro-
blems and troubles adjusting to
the new policy during his first
week.
"It's
a
big hassle,"
said
freshman Jenny Cook, an entry
officer in Marian Hall. "A lot of
people are reluctant
to
give IDs.''
· When asked if the new policy
made the building safer, Cook
said:
"If
they signed in before it's
the same thing. If you know
who's in the building it shouldn't
make a difference."
Tom McCauley of Fairfield,
Conn., an entry officer in Leo
Hall, said the new system is com-
plicated. "There have been pro-
blems with lost and mixed-up
IDs," McCauley said.
"It's a good idea because it
keeps track of who is in the
building, but it's a lot more
work," McCauley said. "No one
is
used to it yet. After a few weeks
it should be alright," he said.
Student reaction to the change
in policy was mostly negative.
~
"I think it's a bad idea because
it's a big inconvenience 10 leave
IDs," said freshman Paul Kelly.
"Putting them in a file makes us
like digits," he said.
·
"It violates our rights because
the ID card is our property," Kel-
ly said. "\Vhat are they going to
do next, ask us to leave a
$5
deposit -
like a weight key? It's
our
ID."
All areas of the division have
grown since Piatt became chair-
man three years ago. He said that
. some restructuring may be.needed
to make it easier to accomplish all
things in the division. "Because it

Mondale delegate-reflects:

. It's open house at Marist College and prospec-
tive students and their parents are meeting many
· of the well-dressed administrators and professors
in the upper concourse of Campus Center.
But where did all the buckets go? And where
are those filthy little throw rugs? Those are ques-
tions a current Marist student might ask.
. A prospective student might ask why there are -
so many coffee stains on the floor. He certainly
wouldn't be too impressed to find out that they
are not coffee stains but tar-stained drops of
water leaking through the roof above him and on-
to his brand new suit.
The once treacherous trek through Campus
Center has ·been···simplified with the recent pat-
ching of the roof, but some leaks still remain as
Anthony Tarantino, director of Physical Plant,
awaits budget approval for a new roof.
"The problem is with the skylights," Taran-
tino said. "They have a poor design."
Tarantino estimated that a new roof for Cam-
pus Center could cost "in excess of $50,000."
The budget must be approved however, before
any-action is taken. ·
"The probabilities are that the administration
will want to replace it," Tarantino said.
According to Betty Yeaglin, director of college
activities, the roof has leaked for at least five
years.
"It
has leaked ever since I've been here,"
Yeaglin said. "The roof was under warranty
when I complained, but it expired while they (the
roofing company) were in and out (trying
to
repair it)."
.
· Yeaglin said that the skylights were supposed·
to be replaced last summer.
"The money was in the budget for them, but
they (the roofing company) kept putting it off un-
til the weather was bad," Yeaglin said.
The recent repairs to the roof were·made by a
company other than the original company which
put the roof on. · Some leaks still remain,
- however, and the buckets looking like a poor
man's spittoons also remain.
.
'.'I'm
worried
about
somebody

Yeaglin said. "I've been out there with a mop
myself to clean up."
The Campus Center roof is one of many leak-
ing roofs at Marist, but Tarantino refused to
comment about them.
Things
look_ good
in NY
by John Albinson
Registered
New
York
Democrats will have the chance to
vote for their favorite man in the
upcoming April 3 New York
Democratic Primary.
The three candidates voters will
choose from are Walter Mondale,
Gary Hart and the Rev. Jesse
Jackson.
· ·
Dr. Lee Miringoff,
assistant
professor of political science at
_Marist, is currently conducting a
survey of N.Y. Democrats to
predict who will be the winner at·
this, year's Democratic Conven-
tion.
Miringoff's last survey, which
focused on the New Hampshire
primary, landed him a full-page
article in the March 25 issue of
"Newsweek."
Fredica
Goodman,
vice-
chairperson
of
the
Dutchess
County Democratic Committee
and also in running as a Mondale
delegate, said she believes Mon-
dale's chances of taking the New
York primary are "very good."
Goodman also said she believes
the turnout
for
next week's
primary
"would
not be very
good." She said that through her
dealings with registered voters she
feels that the turnout will be poor,
probably less than the projected
30 percent of all registered New
York Democrats.
Goodman, who is running as a
Mondale
delegate
in a slate
delegation made up, by law, of
two men, two women, and one
alternate, (either male or female),
works with the 21st Congressional
District (Dutchess Cou~ty). She
said that with all the legal changes
the primaries have gone through,
a person "really has to go out of
his way to educate himself about
the primaries."
Grant. reductions Will force closing of refugee program
by
Catherine DeNunzio . '
The ·Refugee Assistant · Pro-
gram (RAP) at Marist is expected
to terminate by early July because
of the reduction of grant money
allocated by the State.
"It seems in all probability, ac-
cording · to _the information
available, that the program will
have to be phased our by the first
of July," said Brother Richar.d
Rancourt, director of
RAP.
There
has been no formal confirmation
of the State's intention to discon-
tinue this program, which serves
40 refugees.
Although
RAP subcontracts.
space from Marist, the college
does not fund the program.
"Marist doesn't feed any money
into the program,"
said Ran-
court,
"but
we've been well-
received."
The Refugee ·Assistant Pro-
gram
started
at
Marist
in
February of 1981 after Brother
· Joseph
Belanger became suc-
cessful with his experimental pro-
1.!ram in which students .tutored
~rea refugees. Then a grant was
given by the NYS department of
Social Services in Albany.
- Brother Rancourt was given the
position as director, responsible
for organizing and implementing_
the program. "The main purpose
of the pr9gram is to ha~·e the
refugees ;l.ltain, as quickly as
possible, economic self-reliance,"
said Rancourt. Teaching refugees
English is the fundamental ap-
proach used.
For the past three years the
NYS department of Social Ser-
vices allocated the RAP at Marist,
the only program of its kind in the
:v1id-Hudson Valley, S60,000 per
year to operate. After evaluation
this year, it has been determined
that the program is not as vital to
the Mid-Hudson Vallev as it has
been in the past. "There is no real
need fm: the progrnm because of
the lack of new refugees in the
area. We've already
accomplished
our goal of making the current
refugees
economically
self-
reliant," said Rancourt.
Teaching English is not the on-
ly activity the RAP is involved
with. According to Brother Ran-
court, the people who work in
RAP also help the refugees by
taking them to doctors, helping
them find employment,
giving
them health advice, reaching them
home management and several
have also served as interpreters.
"A major goal for us is to help
refugees ease the assimilation pro-
cess into a new country,"
said
Rancourt.
The majority of refugees aided
in this program are Vietnamese,
but there are also Laotian, Cam-
bodian,
Polish,
Czechoslakin,
Haitian and Cuban refugees who
benefit from
RAP.
Aside from the director, Brother
Rancorut, and his assistant Rita
Stein, RAP's personnel consists
of Marist students who are on the
work-study program. Twenty-five
students arc on the payroll which
is funded by 20 percent of the
grant money and 80 percent of the
college's work-study
allocation
money.

Protests dismissal
To the Editor:
I, as
a
student am again being_
put to the test of endurance by the
Marist College Administration.
How now? the reader asks. Well,
I
am a resident of North Road.
_
·
Our fellow student, housemate
and friend, Patrick Larrabee,
who was the unit coordinator, has
been dismissed. With
much
thought
I
tried to understand
why.
I
would assume a major part
of his responsibility as unit coor-
dinator would be
_to
maintain the
houses on North Road. Also to a
general degree help out their
-
oc-
cupants
with
assorted problems
and whenever necessary help
them seek out the help they might
need.
·
·
Of course
I
have kept no log
book on How or When Patrick
performed such functions, but
I
can
say
very
honestly he spent a
lot more time than just his on du-
ty
hours. The maintenance re-
quests were there, maintenance
iiself was not. Therefore I cannot
be led to believe he was dismissed
for neglect of duty. This would be
both unreasonable and laughable.
Why was he dismissed? Why
weren't the occupants asked their
opinions? Better yet, who was the
Residem Director that dismissed
him?
I
have never met the R.D;,
nor have I ever seen her on North·
Road. How could
she
dismiss so-
meone she had not
-
observed at
work?
-
Did she compare the ratio
of maintenance requests per occu~
pant with other areas of campus?
How
about
comparing

number of household damages
·
witli previous years of North

You can· say what· you want
about Marist's computer science
program, its picturesque location
on the banks of the Hudson or the
overabundance of distilled spirits
on campus. It's still the Judeo-
Christian heritage....,.. that panacea
for all that's evil in the world -
that really sets this place apart.
1 can remember looking at col-
leges during my senior year in
high school, listening to admis-
sions people boast about some
new
library
or
classroom
building. "That's
all well and
good," I would say, "but tell me
about
your
Judeo-Christian
heritage."
Well, of course, they just look-
ed at me, knowing that I'd struck
their Archilles
heel,
knowing
they'd lost another freshman to
Marist's enviable religious tradi-
tion.
Much as I admire our Judeo-
Christian heritage, though, I must
admit I've always wondered how
such a devoutly Catholic bunch of
guys like the Marist Brothers
managed to J udaize it the way
they have. So I asked a Jewish
friend of mine what he said when
people asked him how he could go
to a school with such a strong
Catholic legacy.
"You mean you never heard of
Brother Cohen?" he said.
Indeed I hadn'L But I felt com-
pelled to find out as much as I

w·alsh
sometimes
wonder
why
anyone expresses their intentions
anymore, since usually the minute
they come out of your mouth is
that things start to go wrong.
Take spring break, everyone's
intention was to-go-to Florida and
have a wonderful time and be best
buddie$ forever right? Let's be
serious: Most of us didn't even
get there and spent the week at
home doing fun things like dean-
ii:ig gutters or changing the kitty
litter Mom (and the cat) saved
from Christmas.
Those that
went sometimes
didn't make it straight through
and had to stop at tourist traps
like the Cherry Hill Rest. New
Jersey has never looked so good.
Why go to Daytona when-you can
sit in an all all-night diner and
play trivial pursuit with truckers
from such exotic locales as Cag-
gsville, South Carolina? The real
trivial pursuit was trying to find
intelligent conversation in a cafe
that makes the Port Authority
look like the Culinary.
Those who finally made it to
the beach are now spending time
in either of two places, the George
Hamilton home for the undertan-
ned or at the Sloan Kettering
Clinic for L_auderdale Leperosy.
A word to the wise: Next trip
don't take along anyone with bad
breath or anyone who believes
that natural body aromas are sen-
sual; they are better off left at toll
booths.
Having the best of intentions
doesn't only go for vacation plan-
ning -

they have on school work. It's

could about this almost-forgotten
Marist Brother, the man who put
the Judeo- in the Judeo-Christian
Heritage.
History has neglected Brother
Cohen, and the records pertaining
to his life here at Maris! are sket-
chy at best, as if his remarkable
contribution
to this institution
wasn't
all
that
important.
However, when you consider how
unenthusiastic the other brothers
must have been, his efforts were
nothing short of incredible.
So you can imagine how thrill-
ed I was, in the course of my
search through the college ar-
chives, to come across his diary.
The old book is in terrible shape
-
the binding is falling apart and
some of the pages are missing.
Parts of it, are in Hebrew ano
others are simply illegible.
But the readable sectioris are
fascinating, a literary portrait of
a man blazing a trail for Judaism
here at Marist.
"February
16. Brother R -
forgot to get Kosher wine again,
then got upset when I complain-
ed. As though it were my fault.
He's a lovely man, but he should
know about this sort of thing by
now.''
"August 24. Cardinal J -
paid
us a visit today. What a fuss
everyone made! You'd think it
was the second coming. I greeted
him with 'Shalom' when I was in-
troduced, and Brother D -
was
mad at me. I must be more sen-
sitive to his feelings."
"November
25. Carved the
turkey again this Thanksgiving.
Made a mess of it as usual. but
Brother G -
had insisted I do it.
He's convinced all Jewish clergy
are adept with knives."
"September 27. Had to fight to
get the day off. 'I don't care if it
is your kupper,' he said.
'Yorn

he
said. I suppose each of us must
bear his own cross."
"July 9. My turn to read aloud
at Mass. Just for fun, started with
the Talmud and got a good laugh,
except from Brother D -.
Mc
and my silly sense of humor.''
"March 4. Have decided to
give up pork for Lent. Taking the
easy way out, but it makes up for
last year's sacrifice of gefilte
fish."
"December 25. The day of mix-
ed emotions, as always. Joined
the party for a while and had a
few cups of egg nog. Then a few
more. The orphans loved me as
Santa. 'Ho, ho, ho,' I cried, han-
ding out the presents, 'Happy
Hanukkah!' "
What a guy. Brother Cohen
may never have a dormitory nam-
ed after him, but his legacy lives
on in Marist's Judeo-Christian
Heritage, a pervasive spirit that
endures from the foundation of
Greystone to the tippy-top of the
cross on the Chapel roof.
Good intentions
with Financial Management. She
didn't believe the laundry money
· line, either.
Maybe it did sound a little fishy
when you asked her on Wednes-
day to send up two rolls of nickels
Federal Express in order to arrive
by Friday night. My mom spent
six hours looking through a New
Paltz phone book to find Joe's
laundromat. But what's to argue
about? The point is you tried and
finals are still five weeks away.
We've
all
tried the activities
route also. It didn't seem too hard
aLfirst to attend meetings and to
volunteer for everything from
flower selling to dogwashing.
The hard part came ,vhen all of
these activities fell on the same
weekend as the Find A Floosie
Formal at Oneonta.
Which is
more charitable -
,vashing 30
poodles singlehandedly or helping
a coed find the shoe you have so
carefully_ hidden in your room?
Sorry, but for most guys and
girls, washing a golden retriever
just doesn't cut it. My commit-
ment as a Marist tour guide stop-
ped after one day. I fell over a
curb
while trying
to lecture
parents
and
try
and
walk
backwards at the same time.
After recovering enough to stag-
ger to Leo, I managed to get the
whole crew stuck in the elevator.
So what if Jim Daly hates me and
I'm on social probation for driv-
ing 30 people into claustrophobic
paranoia -
that wasn't my inten-
tion. Nobody seemed to care, and
they shredded my application for
an admissions internship.
Diets are the best vehicle for
good intentions and the worst of-
fender of honesty. After the spr-
ing break starvation
fiasco, I
know a group of juniors who are
David Mccraw
attempting to write a book on
Miller Lite for Fitness. The big-
gest promise a dieter makes is the
final binge and then the journey
into starvation.
Okay, I'll eat anything I want
until Sunday and then it's back
to
the three sesame-seeds-a-day diet.
I don;t know how far you weny,
but I tried that diet last year. I
started on Friday, Dec. 31, and
ended my binge on Sunday, July
12. I couldn't help it. I was on a
. roll (actually it was more like a
cheese danish). But I really did
think about stopping eating or
running a marathon twice a day. I
even got as far as getting into my
sweats and running a mile to the
nearest Carvel. Well, you didn't
want me to drop dead on the first
day did you?
Letter writing is high up on the
list also. I never seem to ·have a
pen, paper, stamp or address at
the same time. By the time I get
them all together, the stamp is
ripped, the envelope is licked, and
then the letter is the one I wrote to
my third-grade
teacher asking
why mommies get so mad when
puppies don't go on the paper.
Not writing doesn't stop me from
cursing my mailbox either. My
friends should know I was going
to write a letter, they should at
least answer it.
Writing is what brings me to
the end of this column; and I was
going to end this with a real win-
ner -
no, really, I swear it! This
last paragraph was going to be Er-
ma Bambeck, Marvin Kitman
and Winston Churchill all in one.
But then my pen ran out of ink
and by the time I found another
one I sort of, well, forgot what I
was going to write. I was really
going to throw in a good one, at
least I intended to.

Serafini said he has spent the

make it fit within the space
available on stage and the varied
personalities of Marist's actors.
"One
thing we do with the

said Serafini .
"We let the actors mold the

During the performances,

Sunday
night in the
· Marist Chapel to read Scripture
. and raise their voices in hymns for
. an ecumenical service celebrating
the 500th anniversary of Martin
Luther's birth. ·
The service was c_o-sponsored
by the Marist College Campus
Ministry,
Religious
Studies
Faculty: Division of Humanities,
and · the
Lutheran
Clergy
of
Southern Dutchess County.
__
The guest speaker, Professor
Eric Gritsch, Ph.D .• discussed the
life and beliefs of Martin Luther,
the 16th century Roman Catholic
priest
whose
objections
to
elements
of Roman
Catholic
practice
began the movement
known
as
the
Protestant
Reformation.
Professor Gritsch, a graduate
of Yale University, has written
several
books
about
Martin
Luther's life and times. His latest
book is entitled,
"Luther:
in
Retrospect."
Martin Luther preached that
God only asks for trust and faith
alone from mankind -
a deep
trust from birth to death, ac-
cording to Gritsch. Luther said
one must be a proper religious
student, believe in the grace of
God, and that forgiveness could
not be bought with money.
·
Professor Gritsch said Martin
Luther's
belief · in a merciful,
nurturing
God
was like the
relationship between new parents
and their infant.
"You
take
this ·newborn
home,"
Gritsch said. "Raising
this child will be very costly. The
child may contact anywhere up to
fifty-five genetic diseases. There
is no guarantee this child will
grow up
to
even like you as
parents,'' Gritsch· said.
The congregatio·n, mostly filled
with older adults and married
couples, listened attentively to the
analogy about God's relationship
to mankind.
"Well, God feels the same with
His
children.
There
are
no
guarantees about the outcome.
Therefore, God became a child to
be like us. He experienced our
lives."
The service also included the
hymns "O God Our Help is Ages
Past" and "A Mighty Fortress ls
Our God," as well as spiritual
dialogue
between
Professor
Gritsch and the guests attending
the Christian unity celebration.
·Reaction----------------------
songs we'll be singing so the
children can sing along.''
According
to Serafini,
the
actors will . ask questions
and
encourage
the
children
to
respond. "It's really a challenge
for the actors,"
said Serafini.
"Each show will be a little dif-
ferent. They'll be getting constant
feedback from the audience."
The cast is made up of frogs
and peasants singing and dancing
throughout the entire play. "The
most difficult thing for many of
the actors,
at this point, . is
learning to dance, sit and walk
with flippers on," said Serafini.
Lisa Maggio, costume des·1gner,
and Beverly Morlang, make-up
director,
along
with
several
fashion design majors, have been
working hard to make the actors
look · realistic,
according
to
Serafini. "The frog make-up and
costumes look fantastic; people
have said it looks like the frog
version of 'Cats',"
said Serafini.
"Lisa and Beverly really seem to
be on top of the situation."

the
order.
Blessed Marcellin Champagnat

-1817. There arc now 7,000 Marist
Brothers
worldwide
in
70
countries. In the United States,
there are 400 in 25 schools around
the country.
There arc worldwide mailings
being conducted by the Marist
Brothers

prospective
petitioners for signatures which
will be sent directly
to the
Brother's chapter in Rome, ac-
cording

These will then be forwarded to
Brother Paul Ambrose, the U.S.
coordinator for the movement in
Chicago. Ambrose was the third
president of Marist College. He
will
then send these petitions to
Rome.
Originally Brothers Belanger,
Russell
and
Brother
Nilos
Donnelly, had taken the project
on themselves. But according to
Belanger, Dr. Dennis. Murray,
president of the college, offered
his support.
"Dr.
Murray ex-
pressed interest in the project and
referred me to· the Development
Office,"
said
Belanger.
"It
started from there."
Belanger said that he.has gotten
great support from the college.
Working
with Chris Lapham,-
public information director, and
Bryan
Maloney,
director
of
alumni affairs,
we got mailing
privileges through
the Alumni
office, and Chris helped with
writing
and
rcv1s111g the
literature," said Belanger.
Belanger sa1c1 that the Marist
Mission Statement reflects what
the Marist Brothers arc all about.
"We see needs and try to supply
them," said Belanger. Belanger
said, "The Marist Brothers have a
good spirit." We're not looking
for pats on the back or glory, we
just do our job." .

The good, the ba·ct and~
•
•
"Into every day some rain must
fall," sounds close enough to an
old proverb to satisfy my pur-
. poses here. The point is that
nearly every situation will have
good · as well as unfortunate
aspects.
So it is with the · current
upheaval in the athletic depart-
ment brought
on by
Mike
Perry's
ascension
to
the
basketball
pos111on and
Ron
Petro's
corresponding_ move on full-time
athletic director.
Perry represents a turning point -
in the basketball program -
the
administration
and
board
of
trustees' all-out commitment to
try to push Marist into the athletic
spotlight.
It is, to at least a certain
extent, an effort that should meet
with success.
·
The program here is. most of
what the optimists would like to
think it is: one with. a staggering
amount of potential, considering
its brief Division One history and
the modest size of the college. The
Red Foxes could, within five
years, be averagiQ.g
5,000
to
6,000
per-game attendance if the facility
is expanded to accommodate that
many.
And Perry could help make it
happen. It will take a few con-
ference championships
and a
couple surprising, top recruits.
The first was ready to happen
even without him; the second
looks promising because of the
new coach's European contacts.
The potential for area support is
also large, and Perry's colorful
personality
and
established
reputation iri the Kingston area
should help in this area.
The bright sides are obvious;
the
less
attractive
ones
correspondingly less publicized.
For one, Assistant Coach Don
Kelbick has not been retained by
Perry and has therefore coached
his last game here. This isn't
unfair -
it's all pare of college
coacliing, and was by no means
unexpected -
simply an un-
fortunate
development of the
switch.
Dick Quinn, assistant athletic
director, is another Marist em-
ployee you probably won't be
seeing next year. His job is being
dissolved because Petro's is now
that of full-time athletic director.
Somehow, one full-time A.D. is
an improvement in manpower
over a part-time A.O. and a full-
time assistant A.D. Must be the
"new math" ...
And more changes are in the
offing.
With
several
other
dissatisfied McCann employees
looking to leave Marist after this
year, the casualty count is likely
to rise to four or more. Only time
will reveal how extensive the
department's growing pains will

what the hockey team should do.
It would strengthen their case.''
Head Coach Jim Peclor said,
"It
is unfair to the guys. They're
in college and it's difficult to get
them to do it (raise money).
"They should have to work for
some of it but it is partly the
school's
responsibility
too,"
Peelor said.
Although the
tea□
did not raise
much money in the past, it is
already planning several money-
making ventures for the upcom-
ing season, according to junior
Rob Caldiero.
In the fall, the team is planning
to put together a program to sell
at games, according to Caldiero.
This
wiU
generate money from
advertisers. Also, the team is
planning to ask parents of players
to donate money to the club: . '/
Reflecting on the past season,
Caldiero said, "We played better
this year than last year. We were
in a lot. more close games this
year.

''The roster mixup is good in a
way because now we realize what ·
was wrong for next year," he
said.
"It

"People weren't clear as to why
we were out there," he said. "I
. was running for ·something
I real-
ly believe in."
- Sciareua· said he had gotten a
similar feeling while he was on the
road.
"A lot of people honked and
waved," he said, "but a few
others told me to get the hell off
the road."
Bellantoni and Sciaretta said
that for next year's run, which
they both plan to take part in,
they hope to change the route in
order to pass through
more-
populated areas.
The two also said thai instead
of relying on contributions from
individuals, they would look into
large companies as sponsors.
"Trying to get donations from
students is tough," said Sciaretta.
"They usually don't have the
money to give."
Funds raised through the run
have yet to be tallied, so Bellan-
toni and Sciaretta said they're still
unsure of how well they fared.
But
Sciaretta
said
that
regardless of the outcome, he sees
the run as a great way to make
people aware of the Special Ser-
vices program's presence ·on cam-
pus.

by

The reputation of the Marist
College Institute of Public Opi-
niori continued to grow last week
as Newsweek magazine published
a story_ about t_he six-year-old
polling service.
. ...
_•The story, which appeared in
the magazine's March

issue in
the education section, was titled
"The Student Pollsters." The ar- --
tide pleased the institute's direc-
tor, Dr. Lee Miringoff,
who
· described himself in the article as
- the "Howard Cosen of Dutchess
County."
Because ofthe institute's con-
sistent accuracy in telling it like it

Marist polls have
app_eared in numerous publica-

The New York Times. Since the
article
in Newsweek hit the
newsstands, Miringoff has receiv-
ed inquiries from Time magazine.-
as well as NBC and ABC.
"We were very satisfied with
the coverage," said Miringoff of
the article. Miringoff said he was

Dorm visitation policy gets mixed reactions
by Peler Colaizzo
The housing offkc has initiated
a new policy, requiring visiting
students to leave their IDs with
entry
officers
upon
entering
residence
halls,
according · to
Robert Heywood,
director
of
housing.
Bef9rc this new rule, which
became effective
after
spring
break; students only had to sign
in to the residence halls if they did
not live there.
Now visi1ing-
s1uden1s must both sign in and
leave their IDs.
Students may pick up their IDs
upoi1 leaving the building. At the
end of their shift at 7 a.m., entry
officers bring all IDs not picked
up· to the residence director, ac-
cording lo Heywood. These· IDs
may be obtained the next day,
Heywood said.
Any unauthorized
overnight
stays "would have to be address-
ed," he added.
· Guests of students must still
obtain a guest pass and ~vait at the
entry officer's desk for the host
student, according 10 Heywood.
. The guest must be accompanied
by the host in order to enter the
building, he said.
Heywood said the reason for
the change in policy was that
stu.dents were not signing in pro-·
perly. "There was no active step
being taken," he said. "With this
system we can better monitor .
when people leave the building.''
When asked why the switch was·
made in the middle of the
semester, Heywood said there
were concerns about the system
because
students
were
not
cooperating.
Platt::to· step
down;
no successor chosen
by
Eileen Hayes
Dr.
Richard Platt, chairman of
the Division of Arts and Letters,
has announced
his ·resignation
from his post as chairman. Platt
said he will continue to teach in
the Communication Arts depart-
ment after he steps· down July 1,
1984.
Platt said his decision was
made
for
several · reasons.
"Because
I've
been
an
ad-
ministrator for seven years,
I
feel
I can serve the institution better
and be more satisfied with my
position as a member of the facul-
ty,'' he said.
Platt would not comment as to
whether his salary had anything
to do with this decision.
is so large and diverse it creates
problems for the administrator to
. operate the division and make
plans for the future," he said.
Platt said he has two criteria
for his job -
productivity and
satisfaction. He said part of his
decision
included
not
being
satisfied with what he was doing.
"However, growth in productivi-
ty was significant, although not as
much·as I would have liked," he
said.
.
As of yet, no one has been.
selected to be Platt's successor. A
meeting is planned for tomorrow
with Academic Vice President
Andrew Molloy to address the
division about this process.
"There were all sorts of people
in the buildings
that · didn't
belong,"
Heywood
said.
"Students were waking up in the
middle of the night to find in-
truders in their rooms." .
Entry policy ai other colleges
and universities varies, according
to
Heywood. "Some schools do
not have any (entry policy) while
others have locked doors 24 hours
··a day," he said.
Heywood said that the rest of
this semester will be a "trial
period" for the new system. Al
the end of the semester the system
will be evaluated and may be
modified.
Heywood said he does not
think the new policy at Marist in-
. fringes on individuals' rights. The
-idea is 10 provide a safer environ-
ment against intruders, he said.
"There is no reason for it to be
a hassle," Heywood said. "The
only people it should bother are
people who don't belong in the
building."
While Heywood said that a
safer
environment
would
be
created, entry officers noted pro-
blems and troubles adjusting to
the new policy during his first
week.
"It's
a
big hassle,"
said
freshman Jenny Cook, an entry
officer in Marian Hall. "A lot of
people are reluctant
to
give IDs.''
· When asked if the new policy
made the building safer, Cook
said:
"If
they signed in before it's
the same thing. If you know
who's in the building it shouldn't
make a difference."
Tom McCauley of Fairfield,
Conn., an entry officer in Leo
Hall, said the new system is com-
plicated. "There have been pro-
blems with lost and mixed-up
IDs," McCauley said.
"It's a good idea because it
keeps track of who is in the
building, but it's a lot more
work," McCauley said. "No one
is
used to it yet. After a few weeks
it should be alright," he said.
Student reaction to the change
in policy was mostly negative.
~
"I think it's a bad idea because
it's a big inconvenience 10 leave
IDs," said freshman Paul Kelly.
"Putting them in a file makes us
like digits," he said.
·
"It violates our rights because
the ID card is our property," Kel-
ly said. "\Vhat are they going to
do next, ask us to leave a
$5
deposit -
like a weight key? It's
our
ID."
All areas of the division have
grown since Piatt became chair-
man three years ago. He said that
. some restructuring may be.needed
to make it easier to accomplish all
things in the division. "Because it

Just· a drop in . the bucket

Mondale delegate-reflects:

by Kevin Schulz
. It's open house at Marist College and prospec-
tive students and their parents are meeting many
· of the well-dressed administrators and professors
in the upper concourse of Campus Center.
But where did all the buckets go? And where
are those filthy little throw rugs? Those are ques-
tions a current Marist student might ask.
. A prospective student might ask why there are -
so many coffee stains on the floor. He certainly
wouldn't be too impressed to find out that they
are not coffee stains but tar-stained drops of
water leaking through the roof above him and on-
to his brand new suit.
The once treacherous trek through Campus
Center has ·been···simplified with the recent pat-
ching of the roof, but some leaks still remain as
Anthony Tarantino, director of Physical Plant,
awaits budget approval for a new roof.
"The problem is with the skylights," Taran-
tino said. "They have a poor design."
Tarantino estimated that a new roof for Cam-
pus Center could cost "in excess of $50,000."
The budget must be approved however, before
any-action is taken. ·
"The probabilities are that the administration
will want to replace it," Tarantino said.
According to Betty Yeaglin, director of college
activities, the roof has leaked for at least five
years.
"It
has leaked ever since I've been here,"
Yeaglin said. "The roof was under warranty
when I complained, but it expired while they (the
roofing company) were in and out (trying
to
repair it)."
.
· Yeaglin said that the skylights were supposed·
to be replaced last summer.
"The money was in the budget for them, but
they (the roofing company) kept putting it off un-
til the weather was bad," Yeaglin said.
The recent repairs to the roof were·made by a
company other than the original company which
put the roof on. · Some leaks still remain,
- however, and the buckets looking like a poor
man's spittoons also remain.
.
'.'I'm
worried
about
somebody
falling,,,.
Yeaglin said. "I've been out there with a mop
myself to clean up."
The Campus Center roof is one of many leak-
ing roofs at Marist, but Tarantino refused to
comment about them.
Things
look_ good
in NY
by John Albinson
Registered
New
York
Democrats will have the chance to
vote for their favorite man in the
upcoming April 3 New York
Democratic Primary.
The three candidates voters will
choose from are Walter Mondale,
Gary Hart and the Rev. Jesse
Jackson.
· ·
Dr. Lee Miringoff,
assistant
professor of political science at
_Marist, is currently conducting a
survey of N.Y. Democrats to
predict who will be the winner at·
this, year's Democratic Conven-
tion.
Miringoff's last survey, which
focused on the New Hampshire
primary, landed him a full-page
article in the March 25 issue of
"Newsweek."
Fredica
Goodman,
vice-
chairperson
of
the
Dutchess
County Democratic Committee
and also in running as a Mondale
delegate, said she believes Mon-
dale's chances of taking the New
York primary are "very good."
Goodman also said she believes
the turnout
for
next week's
primary
"would
not be very
good." She said that through her
dealings with registered voters she
feels that the turnout will be poor,
probably less than the projected
30 percent of all registered New
York Democrats.
Goodman, who is running as a
Mondale
delegate
in a slate
delegation made up, by law, of
two men, two women, and one
alternate, (either male or female),
works with the 21st Congressional
District (Dutchess Cou~ty). She
said that with all the legal changes
the primaries have gone through,
a person "really has to go out of
his way to educate himself about
the primaries."
Grant. reductions Will force closing of refugee program
by
Catherine DeNunzio . '
The ·Refugee Assistant · Pro-
gram (RAP) at Marist is expected
to terminate by early July because
of the reduction of grant money
allocated by the State.
"It seems in all probability, ac-
cording · to _the information
available, that the program will
have to be phased our by the first
of July," said Brother Richar.d
Rancourt, director of
RAP.
There
has been no formal confirmation
of the State's intention to discon-
tinue this program, which serves
40 refugees.
Although
RAP subcontracts.
space from Marist, the college
does not fund the program.
"Marist doesn't feed any money
into the program,"
said Ran-
court,
"but
we've been well-
received."
The Refugee ·Assistant Pro-
gram
started
at
Marist
in
February of 1981 after Brother
· Joseph
Belanger became suc-
cessful with his experimental pro-
1.!ram in which students .tutored
~rea refugees. Then a grant was
given by the NYS department of
Social Services in Albany.
- Brother Rancourt was given the
position as director, responsible
for organizing and implementing_
the program. "The main purpose
of the pr9gram is to ha~·e the
refugees ;l.ltain, as quickly as
possible, economic self-reliance,"
said Rancourt. Teaching refugees
English is the fundamental ap-
proach used.
For the past three years the
NYS department of Social Ser-
vices allocated the RAP at Marist,
the only program of its kind in the
:v1id-Hudson Valley, S60,000 per
year to operate. After evaluation
this year, it has been determined
that the program is not as vital to
the Mid-Hudson Vallev as it has
been in the past. "There is no real
need fm: the progrnm because of
the lack of new refugees in the
area. We've already
accomplished
our goal of making the current
refugees
economically
self-
reliant," said Rancourt.
Teaching English is not the on-
ly activity the RAP is involved
with. According to Brother Ran-
court, the people who work in
RAP also help the refugees by
taking them to doctors, helping
them find employment,
giving
them health advice, reaching them
home management and several
have also served as interpreters.
"A major goal for us is to help
refugees ease the assimilation pro-
cess into a new country,"
said
Rancourt.
The majority of refugees aided
in this program are Vietnamese,
but there are also Laotian, Cam-
bodian,
Polish,
Czechoslakin,
Haitian and Cuban refugees who
benefit from
RAP.
Aside from the director, Brother
Rancorut, and his assistant Rita
Stein, RAP's personnel consists
of Marist students who are on the
work-study program. Twenty-five
students arc on the payroll which
is funded by 20 percent of the
grant money and 80 percent of the
college's work-study
allocation
money.

Protests dismissal
To the Editor:
I, as
a
student am again being_
put to the test of endurance by the
Marist College Administration.
How now? the reader asks. Well,
I
am a resident of North Road.
_
·
Our fellow student, housemate
and friend, Patrick Larrabee,
who was the unit coordinator, has
been dismissed. With
much
thought
I
tried to understand
why.
I
would assume a major part
of his responsibility as unit coor-
dinator would be
_to
maintain the
houses on North Road. Also to a
general degree help out their
-
oc-
cupants
with
assorted problems
and whenever necessary help
them seek out the help they might
need.
·
·
Of course
I
have kept no log
book on How or When Patrick
performed such functions, but
I
can
say
very
honestly he spent a
lot more time than just his on du-
ty
hours. The maintenance re-
quests were there, maintenance
iiself was not. Therefore I cannot
be led to believe he was dismissed
for neglect of duty. This would be
both unreasonable and laughable.
Why was he dismissed? Why
weren't the occupants asked their
opinions? Better yet, who was the
Residem Director that dismissed
him?
I
have never met the R.D;,
nor have I ever seen her on North·
Road. How could
she
dismiss so-
meone she had not
-
observed at
work?
-
Did she compare the ratio
of maintenance requests per occu~
pant with other areas of campus?
How
about
comparing
.the
number of household damages
·
witli previous years of North

number of complaints made by

from

Column
One
by
John Bakke
You can· say what· you want
about Marist's computer science
program, its picturesque location
on the banks of the Hudson or the
overabundance of distilled spirits
on campus. It's still the Judeo-
Christian heritage....,.. that panacea
for all that's evil in the world -
that really sets this place apart.
1 can remember looking at col-
leges during my senior year in
high school, listening to admis-
sions people boast about some
new
library
or
classroom
building. "That's
all well and
good," I would say, "but tell me
about
your
Judeo-Christian
heritage."
Well, of course, they just look-
ed at me, knowing that I'd struck
their Archilles
heel,
knowing
they'd lost another freshman to
Marist's enviable religious tradi-
tion.
Much as I admire our Judeo-
Christian heritage, though, I must
admit I've always wondered how
such a devoutly Catholic bunch of
guys like the Marist Brothers
managed to J udaize it the way
they have. So I asked a Jewish
friend of mine what he said when
people asked him how he could go
to a school with such a strong
Catholic legacy.
"You mean you never heard of
Brother Cohen?" he said.
Indeed I hadn'L But I felt com-
pelled to find out as much as I

w·alsh
sometimes
wonder
why
anyone expresses their intentions
anymore, since usually the minute
they come out of your mouth is
that things start to go wrong.
Take spring break, everyone's
intention was to-go-to Florida and
have a wonderful time and be best
buddie$ forever right? Let's be
serious: Most of us didn't even
get there and spent the week at
home doing fun things like dean-
ii:ig gutters or changing the kitty
litter Mom (and the cat) saved
from Christmas.
Those that
went sometimes
didn't make it straight through
and had to stop at tourist traps
like the Cherry Hill Rest. New
Jersey has never looked so good.
Why go to Daytona when-you can
sit in an all all-night diner and
play trivial pursuit with truckers
from such exotic locales as Cag-
gsville, South Carolina? The real
trivial pursuit was trying to find
intelligent conversation in a cafe
that makes the Port Authority
look like the Culinary.
Those who finally made it to
the beach are now spending time
in either of two places, the George
Hamilton home for the undertan-
ned or at the Sloan Kettering
Clinic for L_auderdale Leperosy.
A word to the wise: Next trip
don't take along anyone with bad
breath or anyone who believes
that natural body aromas are sen-
sual; they are better off left at toll
booths.
Having the best of intentions
doesn't only go for vacation plan-
ning -
we've all seen the effect
they have on school work. It's

Brother Cohen?
could about this almost-forgotten
Marist Brother, the man who put
the Judeo- in the Judeo-Christian
Heritage.
History has neglected Brother
Cohen, and the records pertaining
to his life here at Maris! are sket-
chy at best, as if his remarkable
contribution
to this institution
wasn't
all
that
important.
However, when you consider how
unenthusiastic the other brothers
must have been, his efforts were
nothing short of incredible.
So you can imagine how thrill-
ed I was, in the course of my
search through the college ar-
chives, to come across his diary.
The old book is in terrible shape
-
the binding is falling apart and
some of the pages are missing.
Parts of it, are in Hebrew ano
others are simply illegible.
But the readable sectioris are
fascinating, a literary portrait of
a man blazing a trail for Judaism
here at Marist.
"February
16. Brother R -
forgot to get Kosher wine again,
then got upset when I complain-
ed. As though it were my fault.
He's a lovely man, but he should
know about this sort of thing by
now.''
"August 24. Cardinal J -
paid
us a visit today. What a fuss
everyone made! You'd think it
was the second coming. I greeted
him with 'Shalom' when I was in-
troduced, and Brother D -
was
mad at me. I must be more sen-
sitive to his feelings."
"November
25. Carved the
turkey again this Thanksgiving.
Made a mess of it as usual. but
Brother G -
had insisted I do it.
He's convinced all Jewish clergy
are adept with knives."
"September 27. Had to fight to
get the day off. 'I don't care if it
is your kupper,' he said.
'Yorn
Kippur,' I said. 'Whatever,'
he
said. I suppose each of us must
bear his own cross."
"July 9. My turn to read aloud
at Mass. Just for fun, started with
the Talmud and got a good laugh,
except from Brother D -.
Mc
and my silly sense of humor.''
"March 4. Have decided to
give up pork for Lent. Taking the
easy way out, but it makes up for
last year's sacrifice of gefilte
fish."
"December 25. The day of mix-
ed emotions, as always. Joined
the party for a while and had a
few cups of egg nog. Then a few
more. The orphans loved me as
Santa. 'Ho, ho, ho,' I cried, han-
ding out the presents, 'Happy
Hanukkah!' "
What a guy. Brother Cohen
may never have a dormitory nam-
ed after him, but his legacy lives
on in Marist's Judeo-Christian
Heritage, a pervasive spirit that
endures from the foundation of
Greystone to the tippy-top of the
cross on the Chapel roof.
Good intentions
with Financial Management. She
didn't believe the laundry money
· line, either.
Maybe it did sound a little fishy
when you asked her on Wednes-
day to send up two rolls of nickels
Federal Express in order to arrive
by Friday night. My mom spent
six hours looking through a New
Paltz phone book to find Joe's
laundromat. But what's to argue
about? The point is you tried and
finals are still five weeks away.
We've
all
tried the activities
route also. It didn't seem too hard
aLfirst to attend meetings and to
volunteer for everything from
flower selling to dogwashing.
The hard part came ,vhen all of
these activities fell on the same
weekend as the Find A Floosie
Formal at Oneonta.
Which is
more charitable -
,vashing 30
poodles singlehandedly or helping
a coed find the shoe you have so
carefully_ hidden in your room?
Sorry, but for most guys and
girls, washing a golden retriever
just doesn't cut it. My commit-
ment as a Marist tour guide stop-
ped after one day. I fell over a
curb
while trying
to lecture
parents
and
try
and
walk
backwards at the same time.
After recovering enough to stag-
ger to Leo, I managed to get the
whole crew stuck in the elevator.
So what if Jim Daly hates me and
I'm on social probation for driv-
ing 30 people into claustrophobic
paranoia -
that wasn't my inten-
tion. Nobody seemed to care, and
they shredded my application for
an admissions internship.
Diets are the best vehicle for
good intentions and the worst of-
fender of honesty. After the spr-
ing break starvation
fiasco, I
know a group of juniors who are
David Mccraw
attempting to write a book on
Miller Lite for Fitness. The big-
gest promise a dieter makes is the
final binge and then the journey
into starvation.
Okay, I'll eat anything I want
until Sunday and then it's back
to
the three sesame-seeds-a-day diet.
I don;t know how far you weny,
but I tried that diet last year. I
started on Friday, Dec. 31, and
ended my binge on Sunday, July
12. I couldn't help it. I was on a
. roll (actually it was more like a
cheese danish). But I really did
think about stopping eating or
running a marathon twice a day. I
even got as far as getting into my
sweats and running a mile to the
nearest Carvel. Well, you didn't
want me to drop dead on the first
day did you?
Letter writing is high up on the
list also. I never seem to ·have a
pen, paper, stamp or address at
the same time. By the time I get
them all together, the stamp is
ripped, the envelope is licked, and
then the letter is the one I wrote to
my third-grade
teacher asking
why mommies get so mad when
puppies don't go on the paper.
Not writing doesn't stop me from
cursing my mailbox either. My
friends should know I was going
to write a letter, they should at
least answer it.
Writing is what brings me to
the end of this column; and I was
going to end this with a real win-
ner -
no, really, I swear it! This
last paragraph was going to be Er-
ma Bambeck, Marvin Kitman
and Winston Churchill all in one.
But then my pen ran out of ink
and by the time I found another
one I sort of, well, forgot what I
was going to write. I was really
going to throw in a good one, at
least I intended to.

Serafini said he has spent the
past year rewriting the script to
make it fit within the space
available on stage and the varied
personalities of Marist's actors.
"One
thing we do with the
Children's Theater is to make it
our own show,"
said Serafini .
"We let the actors mold the
play."
During the performances,
the
actors will be spending a lot of

Sunday
night in the
· Marist Chapel to read Scripture
. and raise their voices in hymns for
. an ecumenical service celebrating
the 500th anniversary of Martin
Luther's birth. ·
The service was c_o-sponsored
by the Marist College Campus
Ministry,
Religious
Studies
Faculty: Division of Humanities,
and · the
Lutheran
Clergy
of
Southern Dutchess County.
__
The guest speaker, Professor
Eric Gritsch, Ph.D .• discussed the
life and beliefs of Martin Luther,
the 16th century Roman Catholic
priest
whose
objections
to
elements
of Roman
Catholic
practice
began the movement
known
as
the
Protestant
Reformation.
Professor Gritsch, a graduate
of Yale University, has written
several
books
about
Martin
Luther's life and times. His latest
book is entitled,
"Luther:
in
Retrospect."
Martin Luther preached that
God only asks for trust and faith
alone from mankind -
a deep
trust from birth to death, ac-
cording to Gritsch. Luther said
one must be a proper religious
student, believe in the grace of
God, and that forgiveness could
not be bought with money.
·
Professor Gritsch said Martin
Luther's
belief · in a merciful,
nurturing
God
was like the
relationship between new parents
and their infant.
"You
take
this ·newborn
home,"
Gritsch said. "Raising
this child will be very costly. The
child may contact anywhere up to
fifty-five genetic diseases. There
is no guarantee this child will
grow up
to
even like you as
parents,'' Gritsch· said.
The congregatio·n, mostly filled
with older adults and married
couples, listened attentively to the
analogy about God's relationship
to mankind.
"Well, God feels the same with
His
children.
There
are
no
guarantees about the outcome.
Therefore, God became a child to
be like us. He experienced our
lives."
The service also included the
hymns "O God Our Help is Ages
Past" and "A Mighty Fortress ls
Our God," as well as spiritual
dialogue
between
Professor
Gritsch and the guests attending
the Christian unity celebration.
·Reaction----------------------
songs we'll be singing so the
children can sing along.''
According
to Serafini,
the
actors will . ask questions
and
encourage
the
children
to
respond. "It's really a challenge
for the actors,"
said Serafini.
"Each show will be a little dif-
ferent. They'll be getting constant
feedback from the audience."
The cast is made up of frogs
and peasants singing and dancing
throughout the entire play. "The
most difficult thing for many of
the actors,
at this point, . is
learning to dance, sit and walk
with flippers on," said Serafini.
Lisa Maggio, costume des·1gner,
and Beverly Morlang, make-up
director,
along
with
several
fashion design majors, have been
working hard to make the actors
look · realistic,
according
to
Serafini. "The frog make-up and
costumes look fantastic; people
have said it looks like the frog
version of 'Cats',"
said Serafini.
"Lisa and Beverly really seem to
be on top of the situation."

These will then be forwarded to
Brother Paul Ambrose, the U.S.
coordinator for the movement in
Chicago. Ambrose was the third
president of Marist College. He
will
then send these petitions to
Rome.
Originally Brothers Belanger,
Russell
and
Brother
Nilos
Donnelly, had taken the project
on themselves. But according to
Belanger, Dr. Dennis. Murray,
president of the college, offered
his support.
"Dr.
Murray ex-
pressed interest in the project and
referred me to· the Development
Office,"
said
Belanger.
"It
started from there."
Belanger said that he.has gotten
great support from the college.
Working
with Chris Lapham,-
public information director, and
Bryan
Maloney,
director
of
alumni affairs,
we got mailing
privileges through
the Alumni
office, and Chris helped with
writing
and

literature," said Belanger.
Belanger sa1c1 that the Marist
Mission Statement reflects what
the Marist Brothers arc all about.
"We see needs and try to supply
them," said Belanger. Belanger
said, "The Marist Brothers have a
good spirit." We're not looking
for pats on the back or glory, we
just do our job." .

The good, the ba·ct and~
•
•
"Into every day some rain must
fall," sounds close enough to an
old proverb to satisfy my pur-
. poses here. The point is that
nearly every situation will have
good · as well as unfortunate
aspects.
So it is with the · current
upheaval in the athletic depart-
ment brought
on by
Mike
Perry's
ascension
to
the
basketball
pos111on and
Ron
Petro's
corresponding_ move on full-time
athletic director.
Perry represents a turning point -
in the basketball program -
the
administration
and
board
of
trustees' all-out commitment to
try to push Marist into the athletic
spotlight.
It is, to at least a certain
extent, an effort that should meet
with success.
·
The program here is. most of
what the optimists would like to
think it is: one with. a staggering
amount of potential, considering
its brief Division One history and
the modest size of the college. The
Red Foxes could, within five
years, be averagiQ.g
5,000
to
6,000
per-game attendance if the facility
is expanded to accommodate that
many.
And Perry could help make it
happen. It will take a few con-
ference championships
and a
couple surprising, top recruits.
The first was ready to happen
even without him; the second
looks promising because of the
new coach's European contacts.
The potential for area support is
also large, and Perry's colorful
personality
and
established
reputation iri the Kingston area
should help in this area.
The bright sides are obvious;
the
less
attractive
ones
correspondingly less publicized.
For one, Assistant Coach Don
Kelbick has not been retained by
Perry and has therefore coached
his last game here. This isn't
unfair -
it's all pare of college
coacliing, and was by no means
unexpected -
simply an un-
fortunate
development of the
switch.
Dick Quinn, assistant athletic
director, is another Marist em-
ployee you probably won't be
seeing next year. His job is being
dissolved because Petro's is now
that of full-time athletic director.
Somehow, one full-time A.D. is
an improvement in manpower
over a part-time A.O. and a full-
time assistant A.D. Must be the
"new math" ...
And more changes are in the
offing.
With
several
other
dissatisfied McCann employees
looking to leave Marist after this
year, the casualty count is likely
to rise to four or more. Only time
will reveal how extensive the
department's growing pains will

themselves," Quinn said. "This is
what the hockey team should do.
It would strengthen their case.''
Head Coach Jim Peclor said,
"It
is unfair to the guys. They're
in college and it's difficult to get
them to do it (raise money).
"They should have to work for
some of it but it is partly the
school's
responsibility
too,"
Peelor said.
Although the
tea□
did not raise
much money in the past, it is
already planning several money-
making ventures for the upcom-
ing season, according to junior
Rob Caldiero.
In the fall, the team is planning
to put together a program to sell
at games, according to Caldiero.
This
wiU
generate money from
advertisers. Also, the team is
planning to ask parents of players
to donate money to the club: . '/
Reflecting on the past season,
Caldiero said, "We played better
this year than last year. We were
in a lot. more close games this
year.

.
''The roster mixup is good in a
way because now we realize what ·
was wrong for next year," he
said.
"It
will never happen
again."

"People weren't clear as to why
we were out there," he said. "I
. was running for ·something
I real-
ly believe in."
- Sciareua· said he had gotten a
similar feeling while he was on the
road.
"A lot of people honked and
waved," he said, "but a few
others told me to get the hell off
the road."
Bellantoni and Sciaretta said
that for next year's run, which
they both plan to take part in,
they hope to change the route in
order to pass through
more-
populated areas.
The two also said thai instead
of relying on contributions from
individuals, they would look into
large companies as sponsors.
"Trying to get donations from
students is tough," said Sciaretta.
"They usually don't have the
money to give."
Funds raised through the run
have yet to be tallied, so Bellan-
toni and Sciaretta said they're still
unsure of how well they fared.
But
Sciaretta
said
that
regardless of the outcome, he sees
the run as a great way to make
people aware of the Special Ser-
vices program's presence ·on cam-
pus.
