Ideas
-Continued
from page 1
pave the way for Marist to in-
crease its total student population
(including
undergraduate,
graduate, ·and part~time students)
by 4,500 in the next five years.
Tarantino
said that commuters
would make up most of this in-
crease.
Academic Vice President An-
drew Molloy said he expects the
student body to grow-"modestly"
in the
next five years.
He
estimated that the college can ac-
commodate
up to
100 more
graduate
and
undergraduate.
students each year because of the
facilities at Western.
Molloy also noted that Marist
has the option of withdrawing
from Western, if the completion
of the Lowell Thomas
Com-
munication Arts Center, slated to
open in fall, 1985, "meets our
needs."

According to Cox, River Day
has become "a mob situation
where nobody takes responsibili-
ty." He said that originally, with
a smaller student body, there were
not as many problems.
Cox said: "People
have lost
sight of how the institution has
changed
since the early days.
Originally there weren't as many
events where the students could
get together, but now we have spr-
ing weekend, Mayfest and other
activities. River Day was original-
ly a time for students to come
together and celebrate the joy of
spring."
Cox expressed concern about
the number of students who arc
injured as a result of too much
drinking. Some students required
treatment at St. Francis Hospital
last
year,
where Cox
said
that the
hospital staff "felt like it w.as in a
battle zone."
Some of the 'injured, according
to Cox, had so much alcohol in
their blood that they could not be
treated for their other injuries.
With the drinking age now

"There
was a court decision,"

Cox said, "where they determin-
ed that the people in charge of
dispensing the alcohol are liable."
The traditional
organizers of
River Day are members of the
senior
class. But when it comes
doivn
to
identifying individuals,
Cox said, "Nobody
is mature
enough
to
admit to organizing."
Barbara LaDukc, vice presi-
dent of the·senior class, said that
the main responsibility
of
the
organizers is to make
sure
that
nobody
brings
bats
into
the
dorms.
"Our major concern is that a
couple of people
will
ruin it for
everybody,"
she
said.

tini said it is security's job to
make sure nothing happens

said.
Cox
said
that
seniors
used to
line the embankment
by the
railroad tracks to prevent people
from going near the tracks. Now
the seniors use the embankment
as a pedestal to put themselves

Cox

What election?
On Sunday night, the Class of '85 won the
"Class of the Year'.' award at the CSL
awards dinner. Since freshman year, the
Class of '85 has been under the leadership
of Roger Romano, the current class presi-
dent. Roger lost this year's election to
James Murphy by a mere
10
votes. The sad
thing about the elections, however, is not
·
necessarily that Romano lost What Is
disturbing is that 98 out of 486 juniors ac-
tually voted in the elections - that's only
20
percent of the class.
Why
did this happen? Apathy among the
upperclassmen may have something to do
with the poor voter turnout, since the other
class elections
-
had many more voters in
their elections. But if you ask juniors about
the elections, 254 of whom live off campus,
you'll find that many didn't know about the
elections at all -
not
that they didn't care.
.
In fact, over one hundred juniors,more than
the amount that
.actually
voted in the elec-
tions, signed a petition
that supports
Romano's request for re-elections. Thus the
problem is not necessarily a lack of interest
on the part of the senior class, but a lack of
proper election procedures.
·
__
The designated-days set aside for class
elections were April 4 and 5. However, it was
not clear what times the elections were ac-
tually to be held. The polls were open from 9
a.m. until noon last Thursday in Donnelly
Hall, but since the free slot starts at 11 a.m.,
this left only two hours for students to vote
while Thursday's classes were in session.
Meanwhile, the polls were only open in Don-
nelly a few· hours the day before. Although
-
elections were going on in the campus
center Thursday evening from 4 p.m.-until 7
p.m., chances are, most juniors, especially
those who do not eat in the cafeteria, had no
reason to be in the campus center at that
hour. And if they didn't have a class in Don-
nelly Hall during the short amount of time
that the polls were open there, they were out
of luck also. Ws no wonder that the
underclassmen, who practically walked into
the polls on thei_r way to dl,nner that night,
had a better turnout for their elections.
·
Voting In any type of governmental elec-
tions should be for everyone -
not 9nly
those who frequent the campus center each
_
day. Granted, i_t's up to the candidates to
campaign_ and to tell the voters when to.
vote, and it's up to the voters themselves to
exercise that right by finding out when and
where elections will be held. But these
things are a _little difficult to do when the
candidates themselves weren't even inform-
ed of election times. What it comes down to
is this: the Council of Student Leaders,
which is in charge of running class elec-
tions, did not do a thorough job of organiz-
ing voting hours.
_
The blame cannot be_ placed on one per-
·
son. The CSL did what it does each year at
election time -
it appointed a person to
serve as election commissioner to organize
·
elections and to form' an election commit-
tee.
This year this person was a freshman. It
was up to CSL to determine whether or not
this person's lack of experience would in-
..
terfere with the elections

but in-

·
handed the Job over to her: In other_ words,
-
,
CSL did. not·push hard enough to see that
--
-
elections were conducted properly. For ex-
ample, the standard procedure of showing
1.0.s when voting was not implemented at
these elections_, norwas it enforced at the
CSL elections a few weeks ago. A person
·
who ran unopposed for office for the class
of
'85
did not have the requred petition com-
plete before elections took place. Another,
-
who also ran unopposed but had a petition
completed ahead of time found that his
---
name did not ever appear on the
.b~Hot.
It
seems that rules governing such elections
should be more carefully adhered to by the
CSL if it is in charge of election~.
·
·
There is a little saying that applies here -
it can be used in reference to election pro-
cedures as well as anything else that goes
on at Marist College: If you are not going to
_
do something right, don't do it at ~II.·
.Roses
Everything seemed to becoming up roses
for Maristfor the last few weeks. This small,
practically unheard of.liberal arts college on
the banks of the Hudson River has recently
been featured in newscasts three times in
one week. The Marist College Institute for
Public Opinion seemed to have brought
fame to our front door.
What a surprise and shock to our parents

Walter Mondale was victorious in the New

Marist, especially after all that publicity.
But among all those roses there lies one
thorn - The New York Times. In an editorial

use of
decimal points
in
It's findings. TheJr_gripe is
that the decimal paints a picture of ac-
curacy which just isn't there. Its use, they
say, is for credibility and add that it is not
meaningful.
·
What is meaningful? To round off each
digit to the nearest ten -
thus making the
_
margin of error even greater than already
possible?
If the numbers are there, down to one
decimal place, why not use them? There's
nothing wrong with putting the cards on the
table for all to see. The lnstitute's job is not
to make predictions off the top ofit's head
and pick a winner. Rather, it reports what
the people say. Why not inake it as exact-as
possible?

The Times did however say that
it
wasn't
a bad poll. Of course it's not -
its record
speaks for itself.

There were others in mind, but
those I chose seem to· be, in my
eyes, the best. It is difficult to
narrow the field to just one, but
nevertheless possible. When we
return ffom Easter break I will at-
tempt this task for the last time by
choosing my favorite actor, ac-
tress and made for TV movie for
the J 983-94 season.
If
anyone wishes to send me
their choices, mail them to
Richard Copp c/o The Circle,
and I will try to incorporate your
comments in my final column.

Column

Bakke
Maybe I'm being selfish, but I
· just can't see why WMCR gets to
be censored and nobody else does.
I read last week in The ·circle
where MCR will be taken off the
Marist Information Network if a
media center official hears an
obscenity on the air again. It
seems the station played part of
Eddie Murphy's album, and one
of these officials heard a naughty
word.
These media center · officials
must be pretty sensitive guys. It's
not hard to imagine them, sitting
around watching the MIN for an
hour or so (which is how I spend
my
free time) when suddenly the
offending string of vowels and
consonants spills into the room.
"Oh,
my!
Stanley,"
says
Priscilla,
looking
shocked.
"Wasn't that the ... the 'S-word?'"
Stanley peers over his bifocals,
his mouth ajar. "I'm afraid so,
Priscilla. Those boys at MCR
always seemed so nice ... "
"Well, we can't have any more
of that, can we?"
she asks.
"No," he answers. "It's settled_
then,"
she
says.
"Thank
goodness it wasn't the 'F-word.'
I'd hate to think what campus
- morals would come to then.'•

We ripped the alligators off our
shirts, locked the Nikes in the
closet, ditched the backpacks and
. carried our books. We started
carrying loaves of French bread,
wearing berets (too bad no one
told us they went out of style 20
years ago!) and spending three
hours over lunch ·in a cafe. After
all this effort why do they still.
know we're American even before
we open our mouths? Why; for
that matter, can ·we now pick out
the Americans at 50 paces?
For the French it's easy; from
observing the tourists, watching
Dallas
and
seeing
American
movies, they have very definite
ideas
of
what
is "typically
American" (Of course, we mean
United Statesian since our Cana-
dian friends brought up the point
that Mexicans, · Canadians
and
South Americans believe-they also
have the right to call themselves
"Americans.") Mr. and Mrs. Joe

Offensive
So anyway, now MCR has a
contract
banning
vulgarities,
obscenities and so on from the
broadcast. Not only will the sta-
tion not be allowed on the Infor-
mation Network, if a stray swear
gets through, but the disc jockey
will lose his show.
Naturally,
I
sleep easier know-
ing someone's making sure the
freshmen
aren't
corrupted
by
these· unwholesome
influences.
But
I
still can't stand the fact that
MCR's the only one who gets to
be censored. Hell, I could be
tasteless too. I just didn't think
anyone would notice.
But nobody brings me a con-
tract to sign, and I'll bet nobody
would even if
I
printed the text of
the whole Eddie Murphy album.
It
can get pretty lonely not being
censored, you know. Pretty bor-
ing, too -
The Circle has not
been censored as long as I can
remember,
and
it sure
gets
monotonous around here. A little
heavy-handed suppression is what
we need, and right away.
Not that I want someone stan-
ding behind me as I write, of
course. I'd opt for what MCR
calls the "self-censorship"
plan,
whereby you're only under threat
of being banished from the Marist
Kingdom. Run out of town, or
something.
Not being as bright as the guys
who negotiated that contract of
MCR's though, I'd probably need
some sure guidelines stating ex-
actly what I could and could not
write.
It
would include specific
words (the F- and S-words, for in-
stance, as well as the
WXYZ-
words) and all those subjects
I
could not even write
about.
Once The Circle was being
monitored, the Mosaic and the
Reynard probably would want to
be also, but
I'm
not so sure
I
like
that idea. They only come out
once a year, so I say let them suf-
fer. Let them
earn
their censor-
ship.
I know, I know, that isn't fair,
but I don't think they should be
able
to
come in at the last minute
and get some of my censorship. If
the censorship committee (which
. would be formed) is spending all
its time looking at the Mosaic,
when are they going to get around
to raiding the Circle office?
The
trend
started,
a~
represented by MCR's contract, is
admirable. In fact, I've become
so committed to good taste on
campus that l 'm thinking serious-
ly of forming a Let's-rip-out-the-
metal-sculptures committee.
Now
there's
some improve-
ment,·
Americans
Average American and their 2.4
children
are
overweight
and
undercultured. They drink Coca-
-Coia, drive
·a
big car and ·chew
gum: they carry big expensive
cameras and try to see all of
Europe
in three weeks. They
spend lots on American dollars
and, although this is nottheir first
trip out of Teaneck, N.J., are
convinced that everything · they
have at home is the biggest and
best in the whole world. They see
themselves as the "true blue"
good guys out to save the world
from the "big red" bad guys.
And, although their _luggage has
been shipped to Singapore and
their credit cards have been
stolen, they're still smiling and
having a very good time.
Maybe from this definition we
aren't
"typical,"
but .there's
something about us that says
"Made in U.S.A." Whatever it is,
it's the same thing that enables us
to pick out Americans from all
the other foreigners in Paris. The
French image of the Americans is
a bit exaggerated. We've found
that Americans dress neat\y but
aren't
"chic,"
and
that
the
French .. just
don't _ <lppreciate
"preppy." Observations are easy
to
make, but, unlike the French,
we can go further and recognize
American
attitudes.
Yes,
Americans are generally happy
and smile a lot, but we also
possess a certain naivete which
results from living a sheltered life
within the borders of a big coun-
try. American faces have a mixed-
breed appearance
because we .
don't
have
the
century-long
lineage of one nationality. We are
consumers and we waste without
realizing it,. because ·we figure
there will always be more where it
came from.
We're in Paris learning French
grammar, French literature and
culture, which we expected. We're
also discovering the difference
between how other people see
Americans
and
how we see
ourselves.
The writers are studying in
Paris as part of Marist Abroad.

Thanks ·
To the Editor:
We, the officers-elect of the
class of 1986, would like to thank
all of the members of the class of
86 that voted in last weeks elec-
tion. We would have hoped to
have more people turn out to
vote, but we do understand the
problems with. the election pro-
cess.
To Chuck, Mary, Chris, and
Sharon, we all wish there were a ,
way for everyone to win; it would
make life much easier. · Even
though_you are not officers of the
class we do hope that you will still
be able to DANCE with us.
Thanks for the support.
Thank you all,

Lenny Cheatham, Vice President

Socialism
To the Editor:
Speaking about conservatives
and liberals, it is pertinent to
remember that on Sept. 30, 1936
then
President
Fran_klin D.
Roosevelt called himself a "true
conservative"
who was. seeking
"to protect the system of private
property and free enterprise."
"In
the words of the great
essayist" he added: "The voice of
great events is proclaiming to us:
Reform if you would preserve. I
am that kind of a conservative
because I am that kind of a
liberal." As the liberals and con-
servatives
both_ aim to keep
capitalism in the saddle and as
Roosevelt's liberalism and refor-
mism identified by him with con-
servatism did help to save the
capitalist system, it is not far-
fetched to assume that were he
alive today, he woulcl be comfor-
table with both the conservatives
and liberals.
As a Socialist, I maintain that
· capitalism cannot be kept going
forever and that
barring
an
atomic war, a drastic change for
the better has to take place, and
that means Socialism as proposed
by Daniel DeLeon
Thank You

In an interview after the class elections last Friday, Mueller
_said
that he plans to establish three publications to meet these
·
needs, a directory of riext year's juniors and a newspaper titled
.
Just for Juniors, dealing specifically with junior affairs.
·
"This year's sophomores are·not going to.have the comfort of
only living in one or.two dorms next year. I think i_t's important
that everyone knows where each other lives and what they're
.
doing special," the communication arts major from Kings Park,
N.Y .,
said in reference to the publications. "Unity is more than a
melding of self-interests; it results when
.values
and ideas are
'shared.
I
want that to happen."
The directory would contain the names of all of next year's
·
juniors,· their school addresses and their home addresses, while
the questionnaire would ask
-
for specific ideas for mixers and
other
events.
.
.
.
.
_·
"Instead of just complaining
among
themselves, this will give
._
students
a
chance to have-some input;"
Mueller said about the
questionnaires._
"I
know getting things done might be tough with
the administration, but if enough people get motivated I think we
·
could get the administration's support."-·.
••, . .
··
·
According to Mueller the third publication; «Just
for
-·
Juniors;''- would be broken down into five sections: one dealing
with academic matters such
as
internships currently held by and
available to juniors,· one for. sports featuring juniors'
-
specific
achievments, letters from juniors studying abroad, a commuter
section and classifieds.
.
.
.
.
."How many people know that Pete Pazik -
a junior -
came
.in
twelfth iit New York St~te for cross-country? Before we can
recognize a team's accomplishments; the class must recognize its
.
own members," Mueller said in reference to the publication.
·
Mueller's familiarity with cross-country comes from
ex-
,perience; he is a member of Marist's team. He also is on the track
team and served on the planning committee for freshman
orientation this year.
·
Mueller won the presidency with 93 votes, followed by Charles
Fillizola with 67 and Mary Clifford with 42. Lenny Cheatham,
with 77 votes, won a narrow victory in the race for vice-president
over Christopher Desautelle and Sharon Taplin, who received 65
·
and 60 votes respectively. Running unopposed, Daniel Biglin
became the next junior class,treasurer and Dina Marie Chiappa·
-
the next secretary.
.
"I'm
really looking forward to working with the other winners
.
:_ especially Lenny. He's enthusiastic about the job and has a
unique spirit about him," Mueller said. He added that he felt
.
Biglin and Chiappa "wouldn't have run,1,mless they wanted the
-jobandwantedtowork;"

Mueller was·far less enthusiastic about the election procedures
··
..
this year. He blamed what he called low voter turn-out, especially
for this year's juniors, on what he said were inadequate voting
hours and locations.
·
"I
couldn't believe there was no voting all afternoon in
Champagnat and only one section in Donnelly," Mueller said.
"The voting should have been in at least three central spots on
campus, like the cafeteria.
I
really feel that's why alot of people
didn't turn out."
·
Mueller added that he thinks he would support the petition
started by some current juniors which is aimed at forcing·a new
election for the Class of 1985. Only 98 current juniors cast a vote
in the presidential category.
"I
think it_'s only fair," Mueller said.
Class of '87
by Marie Esperancilla
With a total of 117 votes Sue Ryan won the
·
class of '87
Presidential elections held April 4-5.
Ryan, who is currently class treasurer, believes that the biggest
problem facing the class of '87 at this point in time is the lack of
unity. "Each dorm is it's own little entity," she said. "We're not
together as a group, but we have potential once we are."
-
Ryan also believes that the officers
for
the Freshman class this
year were not united. "It's hard enough when you're no_t united;
how are you suppose to motivate a whole class to be united. But
that was nobody's fault. It was because we were Freshman of-
ficers. We didn't know what to do. As class officer this year, I
..
can see the experience; now
I
know how to go through the
·
bureaucratic process
·of
Marist and get through everything," she
said.
With a better understanding of the Marist system, Ryan has
high hopes and plans for next·year, including bus trips to But-
terfield's, mixers and a formal. "We're going to try to do little
things that will get the class together." she said .
Ryan is looking forward to having most of next year's
sophomore class residing in Champagnat. "A lot of people are
excited for it," she said. "Once we're all in Champagnat, it's
going to be a lot of fun; we're all looking forward to that."
Another reason Ryan believes causes the lack of uni!y is
inadequate notification to the students concerning ev.ents.
Concerning the elections, Ryan believes that there was a good
amount of votes from the Freshman class. "We had over 250
people vote, where as the Senior class only had 90 people vote."
The problem, however, was with the CSL elections the week
before, according to Ryan. "We, the candidates, never knew
when our elections were." Ryan also believes that the change of
hours caused such a low turn-out. "There wasn't enough in-
formation given about it." However, Ryan doesn't blame
·
anyone. "I just think there was so much involved, with three
classes having elections at the same time.''
The other class officers are Velvet Sartori as Vice-President
- and Linda Smith as. class Secretary. In order to break the tie
·
between John Brelesky and
·
Derrik Wynkoop as Treasurer,
another vote is under way. The. date has not been decided as of
yet.

with the adult education students,
according
to
Julianne
Maher,
dean.
"We have been receiving a
number
of letters about
the
elimination of the 5 p.m. slot, the
reaction
in them being both
distressed
and
disappointed,"
said Ross.
·
This slot has become important
for
adult
education
students
because they can take two classes
in one evening, according
to
Maher. "We were not aware of
the number of students that had
built their programs around this
schedule," said Maher. "Prior to
this year they had not been
clamoring for ic (the 5 p.m. slot)
but now chis scheduling
has
become important to them.''
Marist College's Fishkill Exten-
sion in the Dutchess Mall will
continue to hold two classes back
to back in the evening, from
5-
7 :30 p.m.
and 7:30-10 p.m.
Maher has been suggesting to
these students
that they take
classs at the Fishkill extension,
where the classes can fit into their
schedules. "Th_e response to the
Fishkill time schedules was not
overly enthusiastic, but the pro-
gram just started in January so we
really don't know the outcome
yet," said Maher.

Continued fro_m page 12
while:-•·
· Sweden ·finished a very respectable seventh out of twelve teams in
the 1980 Olympics. Perry then went on to West Germany, where he
was head of a youth training program for a year before being hired
to coach Stade Francais-Paris, one of France's top professional
teams.
·
·
After completing two successful seasons in Paris, Perry was on
his way to Poughkeepsie.
.
With the arrival of the former European mentor, there are likely
to come some major changes in the Marist basketball program. One
of these changes, if Perry has his way, will be seen in the McCann
Center. As the program strives
to
get bigger; he explained, so must
the facility.
"We would draw 2,500 fans at Ulster, and that's in Stone Ridge.
Did you ever hear of Stone ·Ridge?" Perry asked facetiously.
"If
we
are going to be a legitimate Division One team this gym won't be
sufficient. We should get to about 6,000 seats. I won't be here in
· three years unless something is done.'•
·
As Perry begins his effort to better the basketball program, some
Red Fox followers have expressed concern that the new coach might
use his contacts overseas to turn the team into an international
ballclub. But this is something Perry claims the Marist faithful
shouldn't worry about.
·
"I don't intend to make this an international team," he said.
"The maximum we'll have is three European kids next year. Until I
get on equal footing with other schools in terms of recruiting, I have
to meet my immediate needs:_ that's to win right away. Besides, the
European kids might stay just• one or two years, then their scholar-
ships would be open."
·
Whether or not there is an influx of European players on campus
next year, the Poughkeepsie area can be sure of one thing! The Red
Foxes will be on the run during the !984-85 ·season, and every season
after that with Perry at the helm.
"I want an up-tempo game," he said. "I want to develop the run-
ning game, but to also have control and discipline on the floor. Peo-
ple say 'run and gun,' but I don't like the word 'gun.' We're
definitely going to play defense, and if a kid doesn't play defense he
won't play. Intelligence will be a key to our success."
While Perry plans to run, he also plans to win - and win big.
"It
would be ridiculous
to
say we're shooting for the Big East
right away,'' the coach said. "But within three to Jive years, I have
visions of us being a bit better than Iona and St. Peter's.''
·
If Perry wins as plans, will he move on to bigger and better things
as coaches who have turned struggled programs around have done
before?
"No, no way;" Perry said. "I've come back here to settle in. I
made that clear to the search committee. I'd like to stay here for ten
years.''
And while his stated goals seem
to
put pressure on himself to pro-
duce right away, Mike Perry's concluding statement showed his en-
thusiasn1 for the upcoming college.

Thursday Morning Quarterback
John Bakke
S~elling the roses
Steve Lurie is not a man to
complain. As he sees things, he
has no real reason to.
The
first-year
Marist
track
coach is working in an athletic
program
dominated
by
basketball,
running a program
without
an outdoor
track or
scholarships. To hear him talk
about it, you'd think he's in an
almost ideal position.
Some feel track is neglected,
and
Lur.ie confirms
the per-
ception, though not the reality. "I
inherited a difficult spot,"
he
says.
"I
inherited a group that
didn't feel there was a great deal
of support for them."
And his feelings? "I've had a
lot of help this year and in general
have had a feeling of support.· I
got everything I wanted that was
within reason, and what wasn't
within reason I tried not to ask
for.''
Part of what is perceived as the
track
program's
second-class
status is the lack of a track. True,
there is an indoor track, but
indoor track just isn't quite the
same.
The team,
which will
compete on each of the next five
weekends, currently practices two
or three times a week on the
Poughkeepsie High School track.
"No track is no real problem,"
says Lurie.
He mentions the possibility of a -
track being put in north of the
townhouses,
but says that he
doesn't expect one, realistically.
"It
has not gone unnoticed that a
track would not hurt us, but I'd
be surprised -
happily surprised
-
if they put one in."
Track or no, Lurie is one that
takes what he gets and tries to use
it to the fullest. He . has no
scholarships
to lure the best
runners to Marist, yet he says he
enjoys recruiting and that this
year's efforts
have been suc-
cessful. "We could have as many
as seven freshmen that would
have an impact on the cross
country program.
"Recruiting .can be done, but
you have to enjoy it and want to
do it. Though it's frustrating not
to have scholarships, I think it's
good in the long run not to."
What? Prefers not to have them?
Lurie sees Marist as offering
people in the "lesser" sports - or
in his track and cross country
programs, at least -
a certain
kind of atmosphere,
a certain
kind of relaxed, enjoyable while
at the same time competitive,
college experience. Scholarships
would spoil that, he says, though
they might make his job easier.
He talks seriously about his
track team being next year's
intramural basketball champions,
noting that he would have for-
bidden
that
on
his
former,
scholarship-endowed
teams for
fear
of
mJunes.
"But
why
shouldn't they be able to have a
good time while they're here, to
stop and smell the roses while
they're going through?"
He praises this year's team in
pulling together, becoming more
of a team, says they've come far
mentally but have more to do
physically. He speaks of a three-
step plan to improve his program:
first,
to be comparable
with
Siena;
then,
with
national
Division
Three
cross
county
champion
Brandeis; finally -
down the road a bit -
with
Bucknell. And he'd just as soon
do it without scholarships,
if
possible.
Lurie
sees
the
basketball
program as being good for all
sports, in the long run, rather
than just pushing the smaller
sports aside.
He is, in con-
versation, not one
to
complain.
Personally,
1
think track is
boring. Almost as boring as cross
country. But many people don't,
and many people enjoy running in
a great, big, circle, or even -
God know's why · -
watching
others do it. Not being one of
them, I know little about the sport
and about what makes a good
coach
in
terms
of ·training
methods and so forth.
Nonetheless, I think Lurie will
be good here at Marist. Whether
his teams will win or not remains
to be seen, but he apparently can
accept living in the shadow of the
basketball
program
and even
enjoy it. Not everyone can.
That's why Lurie should be
hired to a full time position next
year, as is being considered. (It's
not a full-time track coaching
position; it would involve other
duties at Mccann.)
Preventing
friction in the athletic department
just may mean keeping all the
Steve Luries Marist can find.

Pet.ro proposing computers
for Mccann· Center Use
by Michael R. Murphy
The McCann Center may soon ·
be furnished with a computer
system used for administrative
and other purposes, according
to
. Ron Petro, Marist athletic direc-
tor.
Set as one of his goals for this
year, Petro said he hopes to outfit
the McCann Center with com-
puter equipment from IBM's $2.5
million grant.
Petro's proposal still has to be
reviewed
by
several
ad-
ministrative branches, including
the
Departmeni
of
Natural
Sciences and the dean of student
affairs, Gerard Cox.
Petro said the computers would
be used by secretaries for word
processing and the coaching staff
for storage of vital information.
"We could use it for purposes
ranging from recruiting purposes
to storing data on each individual
athlete's
history.
Its uses are
unlimited," said Petro.
Petro stressed that it would aid
recruiting for the athletic teams.
•'With all of the paperwork in-
volved with recruiting a computer
system would cut down on a _lot of
the paper work immensely," said
Petro.
Currently, there is no direct
link between the McCann Center
and the main terminal for a possi-
ble hookup, but Petro said that
problem is. being researched. He
also said that several of Mc-
Cann's administrative staff have
been trained in word processing
and the use of the computer.
Petro said the computer could
be used for academic purposes in
such classes as Physiology of
Health and also ·ror improving
athletes' performances. "There is
such a wide variety of uses for a
computer," said Petro. "First, I
would just like to get it in Mc-
Cann and we will work from
there.''
