hµmaff riihts issue
by
Maureen Halloran
Richard J. Barnet; author of "The ·Lean Years,'' .will speak on
the topic of the human rights issue at Dean's Convocation Day
on April 11.
· ·
.
. ••. ·
.
.
·
. Barnet,
a
Senior Fellow of th~ Institute for Policy Studies in
Washington, D.C.,
.will
address the need to take human rights
seriously from an economic point of view.
,
Barnet was an official· of. the. State. Department and . the Arms
Control and Disarmament Agency · during the Kennedy Ad~
ministration, ·and a constiltant to the Department of Defense.
Emphasis_
.will
be placed on human rights with regard to
nuclear war and ~ce,
food, and employment.
· ·
,
According to Nadine Foley,_ assistarit professor of philosophy
and. a member of the Convocation Day Planning Committee, the
goal of .this Convocation ·Day is. to raise :the consciousness of ·-
students about human rights.
"It
is importantto
help them to
understand and. take position themselves on the whole human ·
rights issue,'' she said; _ .. •. . . . . ". .
.
.·
.
. The importance .of voter registration among the students
will
also be addressed as·a response· to a request by the Council of
Student Leaders to have:voter registration as a theme.
· President of the Council of Student Leaders Keith Galanti
said, "There is·a need.for students to register in order to have
a
say in economic and human rights decisions."._
·
There will be an.opportunity for student voter registration in
the Campus Center and
in
Donnelly Hall from· 11 a.m. until 2
p.m. on April 11, according to CUB President Jim Barnes.
The Council of Student Leaders will make available the
· registration _forms ,for
the following states: Connecticut,
Massachussetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
Following the keynote speech by Barnes there will be a lecture
series allowing the group discussions concerning_ human rights
and the roles of the institution, students and teachers. -

Interns adjust to prison work
· by Joe ~ezoli .
Making their way down the
crowded prison corridor to the of-
. fice where they work, a group of
college ·. students, : majoring
in
social work, ,is
greeted by
friends they have made over the
past several months.
The sound of the warm ex-.
change between the students and
inmates is; at least in part, over-
shadowed
by echos of · loud
peripheral conversations and the
noise made bf _the closing of a
· 1arge iron gate far in the distance.
Interning

social workers at
Green Haven Correctional Facili-
ty, in East Fishkill,
N.Y., the five
Marist College seniors say work-,
ing at the maximum security
facility's Pre-Release Center, for
the past.-seven months, has been
an invaluable, eye-opening ex-
perience.
Camille Piccininni,
2i,
and
Elaine Midulla, 23, said they have
come to grips with most of their.
fears since their first day at Green
haven, and have since changed
their minds about what prison life
and inmates are like.
·
"SometiIµes television can give
you a distorted view of what
prison is really like. I know before
I went to Green Haven, I thought
the guards were all corrupt, · and
the inmates were probably all
brutes ready to attack one another.
and us too,"
Piccininni said.
•'The guys have been great, and
we've made friends with many.
Most of them feel protective
toward us."
Although she's found the past
several months an invaluable !ear- ·
ning experience, Piccininni said
overcoming her initial fear of go-
ing to ·a prison and not knowing
what to expect was a major
obstacle for her.
~
."I'll never forget the first day
we went. We were driving along
on this country road. I was admir-
ing the scenery and wasjust star-
ting to relax, when all of a sudden
· I turned and there was this huge
cement wall practically on top of
us," Piccininni said. "It looked
so ominous. I was terrified. I'm
glad I got over it."
Midulla said the fundamental
reason for the Pre-Release Center
and for the intern's participation,
is to prepare inmates for an ap-
pearance before a parole board.
"The concept of the center is bas-
ed on the idea of peer counseling,
inmates helping inmates, and is
inmate staffed and managed,"
Midulla said.

A new poll conducted _by the

College
Institute
for
Public Opinion indicates that
Democratic
presidential
can-
didate Gary Hart's "new ideas"
may not be enough against the ex-
perience of his chief rival, former
vice-president Walter Mondale.
When

asked which candidate
has "new ideas for the country,"
59
percent
of
the
poll's
respondents picked Sen. Hart.
However, 77.2 percent of the
respondents identified Mondale
.
as having "the background and
·
experience to be President." The
respondents had been read a list
of statements and were asked
whether each one applied more to
Hart or Mondale.
.
Most of the respondents also
said Mondale has more ability to
handle an international crisis and
,
"has the best chance of beating

President Reagan in November."
According· to the poll, 25 per-
cent of those polled chose the jobs

the rriost important issue of· the
campaign; the economy was se-
cond with 23.9 percent, and the
nuclear buildup and arms race
was the major concern for 16.2
percent of those polled.
The likely Democratic primary
voters were asked to rate Presi-
dent Reagan's effectiveness as ex-

.
·
results were compared to finding
from May, 1983, September,
1983, and January,

While 41.2 percent judged
Reagan's performance as good or
excellent in January, only 27.4
percent gave him the same rating

he's convinced that he'll be able
to effectively convey students'
concerns to·the administration.
As a residence assistant in Leo
Hall for the past three semesters
Phillips said that he's had to fill
out weekly reports on the pro-
blems and concerns that he senses
among the freshmen students on
his floor. Covering everything
.from dorm life to the way the
residents are affected by policies
or issues on campus, Phillips said
that he's had a good idea of what
needs to be done to change many
of the problem-situations he's en-
countered for most , of his one-
and-a-half years on the job .
Those weekly reports, Phillips
added, are copied and sent to
Dean of Student Affairs Gerard
Cox, the Rev. Richard LaMorte,
the assistant dean of student af-
fairs, and Robert Heywood, the
director of housing. Phillips says
he's convinced that the ad-
ministration i•s already aware of
his desire to act as a com-
municator for the students.
"I'm confident that my input
through those reports has already
shown the administration how
concerned I am with what goes on
on this campus," he said:
In terms of class officers,
Phillips.said he was surprised that
Galanti had abolished the Council
of Class Officers, a move that
meant that class officers would
simply report to the (ull-scale
C.S.L. meetings rather than hav-
ing a meeting with Galanti on
their own.
"The class officers didn't seem
to have much formal input at
those broad meetings, so after a
while they just stopped going
altogether," said Phillips. "What
kind of communication is that?"

,M6Saic arrival scheduled for end of month

The Mosaic, Marist's yearly
literary publication,.has been sent
to the printers · and
will
be
available to the Marist population
in late April, according to Steve
Eastwood; editor of this year's
Mosaic.
Eastwood
predicts
that
distribution of Mosaic will begin
on or before April 27 in Donnelly
Hall and the cafeteria.
The Mosaic, or the Literary
, Quarterly as it was first called, is
a literary and art magazine com-
posed solely of- material attained
from the students, faculty and
alumni of the Marist community.
The publication was begu~ in .
1961 by. George Sommer, an
English professor at Marist. He
-said•'that there was a neecl for a
·literary joun1al · on the Marist
camP--"!;.
With the exception of a
few years, the journal has been a
yearly tradition · of the Literary
Soc..4dv.
.
· . In keeping · with a .tradition
started last year, as well as com-
bating inflation, the Mosaic will
have a price tag· of 25 cents. "In
the past, the Mosaic was given
away to the students, but printing
costs and the needs of the Literary
Society have changed, making it
difficult to give the magazine
away,'' said Eastwood.
The activities office _alloc~ted
the Literary Society $1,000 to
produce the Mosaic. But this edi-
tion will cost between $1,200 and
$1 ;250. The additional $200-$250
came from a book raffle, in which
a $15 Walden Books _gift cer-
. tificate. was given away, dona-
tions and the cost of purchase, he
noted.
Getting the Mosaic out before
May will be an accomplishment in
itself. In the past, the Mos~ic was
not released until finals week or
even the following year. Going
through the material and deciding
what should. be printed takes a
great deal of time, said Eastwood.
All
the material was in by mid-
February; and there was quite a
bit of material to go through, ac-
cording to Pat Nichols, a member
of the Literary Society.
"There is a lot of talent out
there, too bad we can't utilize
more of it," said Nichols.
The arduous task of sifting
through the material was per-
Cuomo signs for TAP increase
by Jane Scarchilli

York state residents additional_
financial aid for college from the
State Tuition Assistance Program
was signed by Governor Mario
Cuomo this week.
The TAP Parity Bill calls for
three major award changes to
take effect in the 1984-85 school
year. Students who currently
receive TAP are also eligible for
these increases.
~
Under the new policy, the max-
imum TAP award increases from
$2,200 per year to $2,700; the
minimum award increases from
, $250 per year to $300; and the in-
come ceiling for TAP eligibility
increases from $25,000 to $29,000
in family net taxable income.
According to Karen J. Atkin,
director of financial aid, approx-
imately 1,200 to 1,400 Marist
students currently receive TAP.
· "It is estimated that the in-
crease for each student should
amount to an· additional $500 in
state tuition aid," Atkin said.
The TAP Parity Bill also asked
for increases over the next four
years. The legislation was only
passed for one year and will come
up for vote in subsequent years.
If
passed, the maximum award
will increase
to
$3,100
in
September 1985, $3,500 in 1986
and $3,900 in 1987. The income
celing will also be · raised to
$33,000 in September
1985,
$37,000 in 1986 and $40,000 in
1987.
Atkin said that TAP was
o,riginally created in 1974 to pro-
vide New York state residents
with a choice and access to the
colleges in the state they really
wanted to attend.
"TAP was supposed to close
the gap between public an~
private schools and make private
colleges more affordable. Due to
inflation, TAP had been helping
fewer and fewer families in the
last few years," Atkin said.
formed at editing sessions, at
which time the members of the
Literary Society critiqued work. •
"Some work made it right away,
while other work was sent back to
the author for revision," said
Santa Zaccheo, associate editor
of the Mosaic.
·
The actual type of material
printed in the Mosaic has changed
from year to year. Poetry about
love and death was popular in the
past. There were also a few years
in which prose was the mainstay
of the magazine. This year there is
an even distribution of material.
"There is a wide variety of
material this year: prose, poetry,
photography and drawings. Fan-
tasy, like that of D
+
D, was a

popular short · story topic this
year," said Zaccheo.
A new addition to the Mosaic
will be a patrons page.
"This page will list all the
students, faculty and parents who
donated
money to help the
Mosaic," said Eastwood. "The
donations were usually $2, $5,
and $10, with a special donation
of$100 from President Murray."
Eastwood has received much
praise for the work he has put in-
to the Mosaic. "Steve's done an
outstanding job,." said Milton
Teichman, an English professor
at Marist College.
"I'm
happy with it," said
Eastwood. "The timing seems
right."

that physical education classes are not

N.G.s for classes in which they would have

their

these are grading procedures that faculty

.Democrats
should ·move to fight Reagan
by
Carl MacGowen
Presidential
campaigns
span
the four seasons. They begin in
winter with a cold, but relaxed
struggle. The spring sees tension
mount, leading to the summer,
when· riots convene to choose
respective .. gang leaders. As the
temperature falls in October, the
remaining contenders cool their
rhetoric in search of a bipartisan
constituency.
·
The calendar· indicates that we
are now in the second phase of the
race, and the Democratic can-
didates are showing. the signs of
staying out in the sun too long. It
is getting· nasty. As Ronald
Reagan continues his attack by
running his campaign in the guise
of
official . business,
the
Democrats scrap in the mire and
accumulate arsenals of mudpies.
Even the Rev. Jesse Jackson
has been pushed into the fray with
the revelation that he has an in- ·
teresting way of char_acterizing
the ethnicity of New York City ..
Nonetheless, Jackson seems to be
· making a comeback and may not
be simply exhausting the Federal ·
matching funds he recently earn-
ed. Jackson won the applause
race during last week's debate at
Columbia with his eloquent, sen-
si_ble approach to nuclear arms
and civil rights.
When neither Walter Mondale
nor Gary Hart would promise a
no-first-strike policy in Europe,
Jackson assured the audience that
his administration
would not
adopt such a policy. While none
of the candidates clearly won (so
what else is new), Jackson gained
back some lost ground.
. Meanwhile, Hart seems to have
regained his status as the dark
horse. Hart, who attained the
position of front-runner with his
upset of Jesse Jackson in New
Hampshire, still has trouble in in-
dustrial states like Michigan and
Illinois.
Hart fashions his campaign as
one of courage and change strug-
gling against stagnancy. But his
ideas, like his strategy, are really
not that new. He has been a fine
Senator, but his attempt to forge
a new angle toward the issues is
more exaggeration than innova-
tion. For instance, his proposal to
impose a worldwide ban on the
production of plutonium as a
means of ending the nuclear arms
race is undeniably different, but
probably impracticable.
It would
more likely be a nuclear-age Pro-
hibition and spawn new techni-
ques in smuggling contraband.
Walter Mondale has responded
to Hart's challenge by claiming to
be the creator of virtually every
· great idea the world has known.
He has repeatedly stated that he
was the first to propose a nuclear
freeze, although the holder of that
distinction is probably Albert
Einstein.
(Unfortunately,
Mr.
Einstein has yet to throw his hat
into the ring.) Mondale has also
taken the humanitarian tack, suc-
cessfully bringing the unlikely
issue of child-care for working
mothers into the public con-
sciousness.
One particularly incongruous
aspect of the Democratic race is
Hart's and Mondale's attmepts to
depict each other as the next-
worst thing to Ronald Reagan.
Hart is attempting to place Mon-
dale in the Reagan camp on the
Central America
issue, while
Mondale questions Hart's com-
mitment to civil rights. The fight
- came to a head during last week's
debate when the two contenders
heatedly asked one another about
the issue. Jackson came to the
rescue, perceptively pointing out
the
. front-runners'
overin-
dulgences in trying to distinguish
themselves.
Any move by a Democratic
challenger to model himself as
THE best candidate is, by now,
an exercise in hyperbole. They
disagree on the specifics, but are
basically agreed on the main
issues of nuclear arms, foreign
policy and budget priorities. A
humble
suggestion
to
the
Democrats: re-focus your atten-
tion
to
Reagan. The point is to get
him out of office. Discussion of
any other topic amounts to mere-
ly talking about the weather.

Mr.

that

about what the Democrats do,
Mr. Luna should watch for half-

own.

It's not something I like to ad-
mit, not anything I'm at all proud
of. And
it
would have remained
my own dark, gloomy secret had I
not blurted it our during lunch
last week.
"All right," I said, trying to
keep my voice low so as not to at-
tract attention. "You obviously
know something's wrong, though
I can't imagine how, you could
have found out."
Donna -
with· whom I was
having lunch -
gave me one of
those
what-the-hell-are-you-
talking-about looks.
"What the hell are you talking
about?" she said.
I swallowed hard, twice, trying
to summon the courage I needed
to reveal one of my most intimate
shortfalls. "I hope we can still be
friends,"
l
said, "because I didn't
vote in the Council of Student
Leaders elections.''
The hush that quickly fell over
every nearby table indicated that I
might have spoken too loudly.
"Did you hear that?" said a fat
girl
with
acne.
"Can
you
believe?" Her friends nodded as-
sent. "Some people," noted one.
'' And shows up in public,•• added
another. Apparently fearing that
others might think they were with
me, they all got up and moved to
another table.
I knew Donna would be more
understanding.
"You swine," she said. "How
could you? Voting is democracy's
most sacred honor. We all must
get out and vote. Cast our ballot.

distinctive sound while managing ·
to take the listener through a

proof that. the "persons" have

which spawned such hits as

throughout
many of the cuts the rhythmic
hooks re_volve around his in-
strument and Terry Bozzio's elec-
tric/acoustic percussion, resulting
in a more definitive sound. "Sur-
render Your Heart" carries a
ballad-like melody very similar to
the The's "Uncertain
Smile."
"Clandestine People" recaptures
those days of old with Dale Boz-
zio's hiccuping vocals let loose
and the instrumentation frenetic
and quick-paced. For the most
part Bozzio has chosen to put a
clamp on her accredited hiccup
and experiment with her vocal
range.

The
vote
time, I realized how important
campus elections really are, and I
now intend to do so something
about it.
The first thing is to support the
candidate of my choice.
If
I had it
to do over again, I'd work on the
"students in action" campaign
because I support their platform.
After all, there's a long, proud
history
of
inactive
board
members here at Marist, and I for
one think these students' inaction
will go a long way towards conti-
nuing this worth-while tradition.
Secondly -
and most impor-
tantly -
I can try to get The Cir-
cle and MCR to treat our elec-
tions the same way professional
news organizations treat "real"
elections.
If
The Circle
had,
we might have commissioned Lee
Miringoff's poll-taking people to
do a pre-election survey. Then we
could have been right on top of
things with headlines like: "Poll
reveals 95 percent are undecided
in today's vote."
And MCR could do exit poll~
ing. "With just five percent of the
votes counted," we'd hear, hud-
dled in groups around radios,
"MCR is projecting Joe Boxstuf-
fer the winner in the hotly con-
tested race for president.
"Our exclusive exit poll reveals
Joe's strong showing among 18-
to 22-year-old men,
with a
somewhat
weaker
percentage
among women of the same age
range. Surprisingly, Ed "Vote for
me" Edwards, Boxstuffer's op-
ponent, took a full 100 percent of
the usually-pivotal 35-to-50 group
by getting both votes cast.
"What's
that, Walter? OK.
We're going now to Edwards'
election_headquarters where Nick
Newsman is standing by with the
losing candidate,
who seems
ready
to
concede
defeat,
·Harold?''
"Thanks a lot, Roger. We're
here with Ed Edwards and Ed,
with five percent in, it looks
bad."
"That's right, Nick," says the
grief-stricken Edwards. "But a
lot can happen in the other 38
votes."
"A point well taken. What
about our exit poll's indication of
your stunning sweep of the 35- to
50-year-olds ?"
"That
must have been my
parents. They're both continuing
education students.''
• "So despite parental support,
there will be no victory party here
tonight, but we'll now go to Fred
Fox at Joe Boxstuffer's head-
quarters, where the festivities are
already underway. Fred?"
·
"Thank you, Harold. I'm stan-
ding in Boxstuffer's dorm room
here in Champagnat, where his
campaign worker is celebrating
the end of a long and tiresome
fight. And here's the candidate
now. Tell me Joe, how does it feel
to have won?"
"It
feels great, Fred, just great.

'Rhyme and reason'
"Right Now" opens up side
two with the female Bozzio re-
questing her love to verify his
feelings:
"Right now, I'm only gu~ssing
and right now, I don't know
if
you're for real.
So let me know right now,
don't keep me guessing ... "
As these Zappa School of
Music graduates take the listener
.through each track one can hear
the
instrumental
expertise
through the crisp arrangement
both vocally and rhymically.
These become apparent on a
favorite "All Fall Down." While
"Racing
Agai_nst
Time"
(complete with alarm clock sound
FX)
becomes a v~hicle for Terry
Bozzio,
Warren
Cuccurillo
(guitars)
and
Chuck
Wild
(keyboards) through climaxing
the song by alternating
the ·
rhythmic pacing from funky to
melodic to frantic it also is the
perfect lead in to the effective
ballad, "Waiting For a Million
Years."
The album concludt!s
with
"If
Only For a Moment"·
(the lp's weakest track) that seems
to lack the hook and drive of the
other tracks but does end on an
upbeat.
"Rhyme and Reason" was an
Ip worth the wait and as a Missing
Persons fan can see the progres-
sion from a cover of The Doors'
"Hello, I Love You" to the pre-
sent.
The
L.A.-based

manages four hit singles with
their last Ip and should fare as
well or better with this one.

The Marist
College Junior
Class is planning to compile a
directory of its members who
have remained at Marist since
their freshman year, according to
Roger
Romano,
junior
class
president.
The Junior Register will consist
of
the
names,
majors
and
hometowns of the class of
1985,
along with information of interest
about them. "It's a tribute to
them for
coming this far,"
Romano said.
In
addition
to
the
basic
statistics, other information that
might be included is future plans,
· how each would like to be
remembered, likes and dislikes
and embarrassing moments. "It's
a National Lampoon type thing,
everything goes," Romano said.
Romano is in charge of the pro-
ject along with Colleen Dwinell,
editor. The staff
will
be made up
of representatives from each of
the townhouses, Benoit, Gregory
and all of the off-campus hous-
ing.
The project is being financed by
the junior class. Romano said he
hopes that the publication will be
free but if there is any cost it will
be minimal.
Questionnaires
, should
be
distributed to the junior class
soon, according to Dwinell. The
students' responses will determine
the exact concenc, size and cost of
the Register. "It would be good if
everyone contributed
to
it,"
Dwinell said.
She said
she expects
the
Register to be ready by late April
or early May, depending on how
quickly the responses are return-
ed.
A directory
of
incoming
freshmen
distributed
to
the
students in
1981
inspired the idea
for the Junior Register.
Both Romano
and Dwinell
agree that the Junior Register
could become a tradition
at
Marist and be adopted by future
junior classes. "It
keeps the
junior
class unified so that
everyone knows where everyone
else is," said Dwinell.
calls on my bill that I hadn't
made."
American
Telegraph
and
Telephone
Corporation
has
designed a credit card system
which uses a plastic card inserted
into a computer in the phone to
complete calls, but according to
Edney the system would be "too
expensive to install." Edney said
that every phone would have to be
replaced costing a phenomenal
amount to the company, and
eventually to the customer.
As of right now New York
Telephone is trying to trace the il-
legal calls made but the effort is
unlikely to result in any one ma-
jor arrest. "Students should pro-
tect their numbers and respect the
privacy
of
other
peoples
numbers," Edney said.
According to a student who
wished not to be named, "This
isn't stealing; it's too simple to be
a crime."
Spring fever
to
hit Marist
on Saturday
by
Eileen Harris
Roller skating, barbecue, and a
dinner-dance
are
among
the
events that have been scheduled
for Marist College's annual Spr-
ing Weekend, Friday April 6, and
Saturday, April
7.
The events begin on Friday
with "Campus
Skates,"
when
students can trade their I.D. for a
pair of roller skates. from
12
p.m.
to
5
p.m.
On Saturday their will be a field
day sponsored by the Inter-House
Council
and
the
Commuter
Union, said Andrew Crecca, one
of the chairmen for this event.
Involving the Commuter
Union
in this event is
a
change·
from ·
previous years, "Part of the idea
of involving the Commuter Union
this year is to bring the com-
muters
and
resident
students
closer together,'' said Crecca.
The field day, commonly called
'Spring Fever Day," will consist ·
of a barbecue, various events such
as the tug-of-war and the music of
"Funhole," a band consisting of
Marisi College students,
said
Crecca.
"Spring Fever Day"
brings
· Marist College out in front of the
Campus Center to play frisbee,
football, and anything else that
can be considered fun.
This leads up to the major event
for Spring Weekend, the Dinner-
Dance.
At
7:30
p.m. there will· be a
cocktail party in the pub for those
people attending
the Dinner-
Dance.
At
9
p.m. the semi-formal
Dinner-Dance will begin, with a
Prime Rib meal and a full cash
bar, in the dining room, said
Crecca.
The band that is suchcduled to
play is called "Naked Truth."
This Dinner-Dance is sponsored
by the C.U.B. and costs
$25
per couple.

Midulla said another important
part of the students' two days a
week at the prison is spent in one-
to-one counseling. "Many times
the guys just want to know what's
going on in the outside world.
Sometimes they feel like talldng
about problems and fears they
have about returning to the out-
side." Midulla said. "Whatever
they want to talk about, we're
there to listen and to help if we
can."
.
Tom Kolomechuk, 21 and the
only male in the group, said the
benefits of the program are two-
fold.
"Students
benefit
from
the
experience and the college credits
they earn, and the inmates get the
chance to communicate with
young people from the outside,"
Kolomechuk said. "Prison is a
de-humanizing experience, and
what we try to do is bring life
from the outside back in with
us."

J)resses on for his cause
.
.
by Daisy Maxey
· ·:Nathan Pressman
wants a
revolution._
He says hi: is tired of the
economic
instability,
racism,
poverty
_and
capitalist
ex-
ploitation of the workers that
exists in this country.
'
For over
50
years, _Pressman
has been exp·ouncling the virtues,
of socialism.
· The retired electrician lives in
the village of Ellenville, ap-
proximately 25 miles northwest of
Poughkeepsie, with his wife and
two children.
At
7li
Pressman has not lost
hts enthusiasm. Energy, straining
to be let loose, dances behind his
still-bright brown eyes.
He is anxious to talk about his
· views. Clasping his hands behind
· his head, he leans his chair . back
. and rocks as he talks. Frequently,
his hands cut through the air to
help emphasize a point.
"I
feel that, unless we have a
socialist revolution soon, we are
not going to be here,"
said
Pressman. "The threat of nuclear
annihilation is hanging over our
· heads. To be able to survive in
this jungle of capitalism,, you
have to be very strong."
·
He describes himself as "a guy
with convictions who lets them be
heard." He said, "People. know
that'! am not afraid to stand up
for what I believe."
Pressman is· heard. His letters
to editors of local newspapers are
commonplace
and . it is not
unusual to see him on area street
corners
handing
out
leaflets
which advocate a new socialist
society.
Pressman also espouses his

Professionals, from all major fields,
have been invited to come and
speak about their .career.
views on local radio stations. He
said that, although he is surprised
by the' number of people who call
in to defend him, he has "fought
inany, many battles" because of
his beliefs.
He recalls that once, during a
talk show on
WEOK,
a listener
called to say,
''If
that Nate
Pressman doesn't like it here,
I
will pay his way to Russia."
Pressman said his views are
often misunderstood.·
"I
am not against this coun-
. try," he said. "What I am trying
to do. is give the country back to
the people."
Pressman said he first became
involved with socialism in 1932,
when social conditions ·prompted
him to· join the Socialist Labor
Party
(SLP),
a
political
organization which advocates the .
overthrow
of
the
capitalist
government and the establish-
ment of a classless society in
which the workers control the
industries and social services.
.At the time, Pressman lived in
the Bronx.
"I
used to ride
downtown to work and see people
going in the garbage to find
something to eat," he said.
"I
saw World
War
I veterans
starving . and freezing, selling
apples for five cents. People were
being evicted from their homes
because they couldn't pay the
rent."
Pressman
recalls
the · en-
thusiasm he felt during his early
days in the SLP.
"I
thought,
heck, the revolution is right
around the corner.
If
anybody
had told me in those days that the
capitalist system would still be
here in 1984, I wouldn't have
believed it," he said .
In 1982, Presssman ran for a
position on Ellenville's Board of
Trustees as an SLP candidate and
won
IO
percent of the vote. In
1983, he ran for Mayor of
Ellenville and lost.
Last year, however, Pressman
was expelled from
the SLP
because of differences with the
party's
national
office
in
California. Pressman and other
local · party
members
had
distributed leaflets which had not
been approved by the SLP's
national office.
Asked if he was angry about
being expelled, Pressman said,
"I
am.
It
really hurt, having been
one of the founders of the local
section. I feel really hurt, after
having given my best years to the
cause."
Pressman
stressed the fact,
though, that he has not given up
on socialism because of his
differences with the SLP.
He said, "Before, when I called
radio stations,
I would say, "This
is Nate Pressman, a member of
the Socialist Labor Party and
damn proud of it.' Now,
I say,
'This is Nate Pressman, a socialist
and damn proud of it.' "
This year, Pressman said he
intended
to run for Village
Trustee of Ellenville as an in-
dependent socialist. However, his
health did not permit him to
pursue his candidacy.
He has had a stroke and, in
January, he was hospitalized for
heart congestion. His doctor has
advised him to slow down.
Next year, Pressman intends to
run again for the office in Mayor
in Ellenville .
"I
think it is a great honor to be
able to walk into the voting booth
and cast your vote for a socialist
candidate," he said.
"It
is easy to
talk, but action counts.''
Student win.s ad
scholarship
by
Terry Abad
Michelle Duquette, a senior
majoring in communication arts,
has been chosen to receive a
scholarship to a five-day seminar
on direct marketing in New York
City April 16-20.
'
Duquette was selected as one of
30 college seniors throughout
New York, New Jersey, Penn-
sylvania
and
Connecticut
to
attend the seminar:
· According to Eugene Rebcook,
. assistant professor of advertising,
'·.
.
..
.,
.,.
Duquette received the majority of
votes from the selection com-
mittee, composed of represen-
tatives from schools in the four
states
and
advertising
and
marketing
industry
members.
"The
committee
was
very
favorably
impressed with her
background in advertising, her
G.P.A. and her maturity," said
Rebcook.
Rebcook, who is also a member
of the selection committee, said
that D_uquette had very good
qualificl}tions for the scholarship.

"She is an excellent student,"
said Rebcook.
Duquette
credits
her
ad-
vertising background
for her
selection for the seminar. She has
had work experience at the
Westchester /Rockland newspap-
ers as a graphic artist and was
also employed as an advertising
coordinator and salesperson at
Wiedy's
Furniture
store
in
Newburgh.
Duquette wants to enter the
direct marketing field, a fact
which
she
say'I may
have
favorably
impressed the selection
committee.
"I
know what
I
want
to do as opposed to others who
were still unsure," Duquette said.
According
to Rebcook,
the
direct marketing
field is the
fastest
growing
field in the
country. "Their is a great need for
college graduates in the field and
not enough people to fill the
available jobs," said Rebcook.
The five-day seminar will take
place in conjunction with a Direct
Marketing Day on April
19
and is
sponsored by Direct Marketing
Day in New York and the Direct
Marketing Education Foundation
Inc.
Matt Golonka, also a senior
communication arts major, was
chosen as an alternate to the
seminar.
This is the second consecutive
year that a Marist student has
been selected for this direct
marketing program.

start to try to get themselves back
,
into physically good shape after
the months of winter induced
inactivity.
On the Marist campus, a night
won't go by without
40
or
50
people trying to run, jog or walk
themselves into fitness.
It is springtime and college
students want to look good and
get into shape.
"In the spring you always have
an increased number of people
coming
in wanting
to
get
equipment to use to get into shape
after the winter," said Jim Dapp
of the Forerunner Running Shop
in Poughkeepsie. "Spring is great
for sales."
Joyce
"Skip"
Rochette,
assistant
fitness
manager
of
Poughkeepsie
All
Sport Fitness
and Racquetball Club, has a list
of suggestions for a college
person who wants to get into good
physical
shape
to
follow.
Rochette says:
1.
Do
some
cardioascular
work.
Combine
running
and
walking.
Make sure yciu do it at a
comfortable pace that allows you
to talk.
2. Try using some light weights.
Start out slow and make sure you
are comfortable. You should not
do weights alone without some
sort of guidance,
3.
Body weight exercises. Do
.·
some pushups, situps and leg lifts.
4. P\ay frisbee, it is
fun_and you
use
a
lot of muscles."
;
•
·
5.
If
you know how to swim do
it. It is probably one of the best
activities you can do.
·
6.
Watch your diet. Eat good
foods. Eliminate fats, salts and
caffeine. You just should eat
smart and think before you eat.
For
example,
one
glass
of
pasteurized milk has enough salt
in it to meet our daily requirement
of salt. It is something to think
about.
7. Cut down on your alcohol
and smoking intake. It might be
hard, but if you are serious about
getting into shape you'll do it.
Instead of having five beers cut
down to two.
8.
Instead
of
taking
the
·
elevator, walk up the stairs. You
burn calories by doing it and by
burning calories you lose weight.
9. Set goals for yourself that
are achievable. Instead of trying
to lose 25 pounds try to lose five
first.
·
IO. Have a friend work out
with you. Misery loves company.
They can push you along on days
you don't feel like working out."
Rochette, who rode across
America on a bicycle last year,
said these suggestions should put
a person on the right track to
getting into shape. "The main
thing to remember is to start out
slow and don't push yourself too
much.
Just
go
about
it
gradually," said Rochette.
Marist College Athletic Trainer
Glenn
Marinelli
-·
agrees
with
Rochette. "You have to start out
slowly and work your way into
good shape gradually. It takes
time," said Marinelli. "And if
you do get hurt while working out
use good judgment. Don't run
through an injury when you
should stop."
Rochette
commented
that
patience is very important when
trying to get physically
fit. "It
takes time and you don't feel like
working out sometimes, but in the
long run it is worth it," said
Rochette.

preparations be gill
for women's basketball
by Thom Crosier
After a disappointing
12-17
overall record and a loss in the
first round of the Cosmopolitan
Conference playoffs, the Marist
College women's· basketball team
is looking forward to next season.
Joyce Iacullo, who was leading
scorer with 16 points in that con-
ference playoff game -
her last
as a. Red Fox -
is the only
graduating. senior on the team.
The scholarship opening that
lacullo will create has already
been filled through Coach Pat
Torza and her staff's recruiting
efforts.

The college has acquired approximately seven acres of land on

Athletic Director Ron Petro said the college is still in the early
planning stages for the fields but added, "We definitely are
. getting them."
Petro said that he has only one drawing of the area as of yet
and that it is rectangular in shape. Petro said that he was unsure
of the type and number of fields that are going in. The current

Petro had not seen the space due to the recent weather conditions.
The addition of these fields, whatever kind they are, should be
