Inspector William Wagler of

Fire Station
suggests
the
following
.
precautions to guard against
fire and subsequent injury:
·
1. Know exactly which door
is
.
the fire exit. Familiarize
yourself and your
_
roommate
with the proper fire evacuation
plan. Even if a fire occurs
during
the
daylight,
thick
black smoke may obscure your
,vision
and prevent you from
finding the door.
.
2. Remember that kerosene
,
.
and electric· heaters are for-
bidden in the dorms; Instead,
use an extra blanket.
It
will
keep you warm and safe.
3. Extension
·
cords should
never be used with appliances
which generate heat, such as
hair dryers or irons. Uthe cord
·
is allowed to become too hot,
it could ignite in a matter of
.
minutes.
4. Be wary of the "oc-
·tupus,"
where a single outlet is
used for three appliances. One
plug in one outlet should be
the rule of thumb.
·
5.
If you live in a townhouse
or an off campus apartment,
never use pennies or oversized
fuses in the fuse box. These
overload
.
the wiring in the
-house, and
prevent circuit
breakers from doing their job.
6. Test smoke detectors on a
regular basis. Blow a small
amount of smoke under the
detector and listen for the
alarlll to sound. One day a
smoke detector could mean the
difference between
your life
and death.

A recently released report on
women at Marist has recom-

that

changes be made and that the
position of dean of women be
created.
Last fall, an ad hoc committee
was established to investigate the
concerns of women and make
recommendations
.
toward
im-
proving the status of women here
at Marist.
The committee was comprised
of the following women:· Nadine
Foley,
faculty· representative;
Karyn
.
Magdalen,
student
representative; Elizabeth Ross,
registrar and Barbara Ganchi,
liason to the president.
.

as defined by their experiences.
I
l
The number of women at
Marist is directly proportional to
that of men, yet the faculty and
the
structure
of
the
ad-
ministration does not reflect this
fact.
The report" stated that
·high
··
positions
are
·predominately
·
occupied by males and as a result,
there
is a lack of female
representation in policy making.
Consequently, campus
·
events
such as orientation sessions and
·
Dean's
convocation.
are
dominated by male presenters and.
add to the male publidmage that
Marist portrays, according to the
report.
·
·
Because of
the increasing
.
number of women students at
Marist, there is an increasing need
to attend to their problems and
interests, the committee said.
·
.
Two recommendations made
by the committee to as~ist women
in this area were that the position
of dean of women and
·
a com-
mittee on women be established,
"to
maintain
the
ongoing
development of women's
·
issues
and to propose programs and
procedures as needed."
Another crucial issue presented
in the report was that of sexual
harassment. As stated
.
in the
·
report, "Women students who
were consulted reported cases of
unwelcome advances made to
themselves arid others by male
faculty members, as well as in~
stances of overt propositioning
related to grades."
·
A proposal was
·
made to
develop procedures for dealing
with sexual harassment.
The
proposal includes a policy to._
maintain the anonymity of the
students involved.
Various
other
recom-
mendations were presented in the
report,
ranging
from. giving
women's sports more priority, to
tht; developrnent of a women's
center to answer women's health-
.related
questions and to provide
sufficient counseling for them.

Three members of the Marist
College faculty, John Scileppi,
Nadine Foley, and Yuan Chung
Teng, have recently had books
published.
,
-
John
Scileppi,
associate
professor
of
psychology,
published, "A Systems View of
Education:
A
Model
for
Change." The book is directed at
educators and studies the factors
that may affect a student's
learning.
The
book
mainly
examines the educational system.
According to Scileppi, a small
change in the
·system
may
negatively affect the system as a
whole. The new idea may prove
correct, but it may shock the
system into failure, Scileppi says;
The problem
with testing
students, says Scileppi, is that the
·
test is only a one shot deal. For
example, I.Q. testing is discussed
-.
in Scileppi's book. Scileppi feels
that these tests are only useful in
measuring
students
of very
similar backgrounds. The tests
are biased and don't present an

accurate picture of intelligence,
Scileppi says.
Scolastic Aptitude Tests, says
Scileppi, are less useful than a
student's
high school· record.
However, if the
.
two are used
together, a clear picture of the
student's
ability is presented,
Scileppi says.
Intelligence,

Nadine Foley, O.P., assistant
professor of philosop.hy, recently

held in Columbus, Ohio, in 1982.
These conferences discussed the

According to Dr. Foley, the
conference reached conclusions
that were in favor of allowing

feels that the non-ordained should

Yuan Chung Teng, associate
professor of history, has written,
•'Americans and the Tai ping
Rebellion." The book is about the
American-Chinese relationship of
the mid-nineteenth century.
During his research, Dr. Teng's
purpose was to locate sources
previously overlooked in the
study of Chinese history. Ac-
cording to DJ:.. Teng, he was the
first person in the U.S. to study
archives for historical purposes.

Teng says that he found proof

Dan Kirk, psych professor, dies
by
Maureen Ryan
Dr. Daniel Joseph Kirk,
56,
of the
Marist psychology department, died this past
summer after a long illness.
Dr. Kirk passed away of cancer on Thursday,
Aug. 9, in his residence at the north end of cam-
pus.
Originally from the Bronx, Dr. Kirk was or-
dained as a·Marist Brother in 1945. In 1950 he
received a B.A. from Marist and in 1959 received
his Ph.D. in psychology from St. John's Univer-
sity, Jamaica, N_.Y..
.
Dr. Kirk joined the faculty at Marist in 1956.
·
In 1968 he began the first full-semester
undergraduate internship and initiated a master's
degree program in community psychology in
1972. He also proposed ~tablishing an applied
doctorate program at Marist, a plan that was ap-
proved by the college's board of trustees in 1983
and awaits approval from the New York State
Board of Regents.
Dr. Kirk was the principal researcher of an ex-
tensive study on the prevalence of mental retarda-
tion in Dutchess County. His publications include
several journal articles and professional papers as
well as co-authorship of 'Ego Development and
Mental Disorders' with David P. Ausubel,
Ph.D.,M.D.

Twenty-four-years ago, Marian College; a
normal school for Marist brothers became a
school open to all men. Six r~ars later,
having withstood
the trans1t1on fr~m

to public enr<?llment, Manst
began to admit women. Their numbe_rs were

Marist were just as much pioneers as the

going to places where inen or, ih Marist's
case women had never gone before.
su't their pioneer stint has long. since
ended, and in the past four years, Manst has
·
seen more women enrolled than men.
Through this transition, Marist has held
fast to its roots as a men's school. There is
nothing wrong with· the pride the Marist ·
brothers hold in . the foundation they have
built

this information is useful only if the com-

Let us vote
In
1971
the 26th amendment
to the U.S.
Constitution expanded the rfght to vote to
all people over the age of
18.
.
.
·
Since that time, these citizens have used_
this right only sparingly.
"What· good would my one vote make?
They don't represent us anyhow:" common
phrases uttered by uninformed citizens.
Being a bit isolated from the mainstream
of life, many college students feel that
having anything to do with the nation's
policies is beyond their reach.
But your vote can make a difference and if
used wisely, "they" will represent you and
your values.
·
·
For Marist in the past, ignorance of the
issues and voting procedures has been a
common ailment. This sickness has got to
end.

Thursday Morning Quarterback
Changing of the guard
by
Ian O'Connor·
It's fitting that it happened
during an election year. The long-
standing athletic administration,
for the niost part, is gone, with its
conservative leader Ron Petro
seeking refuge some thousands of
miles away in Anchorage, Alaska.
Red Fox
supporters
may
wonder why one would describe
Petro
as a conservative ad-
ministrator. After all, when he
arrived on this campus 18 years
ago, the Running Red Foxes were
an unknown group of rilediocr~
athletes who did most of their
running in high · school gym-
nasiums. What Petro has done
with the basketball program,
some may argue, has actually
been quite liber~l and exciting.
Okay, so maybe Petro himself
wasn't conservative. It's just that
his dashing new successor, Mike·
Perry, is so liberal and dynamic
that it makes the ex-mentor of the
Red Foxes look so in comparison.
Listening to Perry is like listening
to a boxing promoter trying to
hype-up
a
fight
which
is
struggling at the gate. He talks
fast and makes big promises.
Perry's style, whether good or
bad, is a complete change from
what the Marist faithful are used
to. The new coach scours the
playgrounds of Europe, looking
for potential
prospects. Last
spring, he guaranteed success and
escalation for his program as
soon as he crossed the Atlantic
and landed in Poughkeepsie.
Ron Petro just yet. His new
positjon as athletic director for
the University of Alaska at
Anchorage will pay him
$64,000
this year. Pe.tro is also walking
into what seems to be an ideal
. situation for him. He's inheriting
a Division Two program with
Division
One aspirations;
a
comparable situation to the one
he entered almost two decades
ago when he first came to Marist.
Although he won't be coaching,
Petro will be involved with the
Great Alaska Shootout, one of
the country's premier basketball
tournaments. Also, the school's
athletic department has been put
on probation for two years by the
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association. Petro has the chance
to make a name for himself by
successfully
restoring
the
program's good name:
For some of the main men in
the old administration, there has
also been success and happiness;
but it has come just a little closer
to home. Sports Information
Director Jay Williams has moved
on to Fairfield University, while
assistant Basketball Coach Don
Kelbick has become the head
coach at Keene State in New
Hamphire. Petro's other full-time
assistant, Al Skinner, has gone on
to Rhode Island where he will
serve under one of the finest
young coaches in the country,
Brendan Malone.
enjoying full-time status, may
have to produce a winning season
if he wants to return next season.
Only Dr. Howard Goldman, who
hired Petro when he served as
Marist's athletic director, seems
in a secure position as head of the
Red Foxes successful soccer team.
It remains to be seen whether or
not these men can work with
Perry. This brings up a question
.that some may be asking. Since
when has Perry been appointed
athletic director and been given
the power to run the Mccann
Center? Well, he isn't the athletic
director now, nor may he ever be.
But if one thing is clear now it is
that Mike Perry will call the shots
as long as he's at Marist. It is the
nature of our school's athletic
program that everything revolve
around basketball. Hence, the
team's head coach becomes the
main decision-maker.
Everything else put aside, the
transition period from Petro's
adminstration to the new Perry
regime can only be measured in
one way; wins and losses. Petro
has brought Marist into the world
of Division One, and it is now
time for Perry to lead the Red
Foxes into the promised land of
national respectability. Perry is a
proven winner on almost every
level but the one he'll enter this
season. His job is simple; make
. the committment made to go big-
time some four years ago a
worthwhile investment for Marist
College.
These are things Ron Petro just
wouldn't do. It wasn't his style.
That's why he's not working as
athletic
director
for
Marist
College. Currently, he's about as
far away from Poughkeesie and

Men's ·basketball team loses 4 to grades
by
Carl Keuleman
Four Marist College basketball
. players
have
been -declared
academically ineligible and have
lost their athletic scholarships.
Chris Metcalf, George Allen,
Mark
Johnson,
and
Charles
Wynn were declared ineligible to
play this season due to their in-
ability to maintain a 2.0 grade-
point average, according to a
statement issued Friday, August
31, by Andrew Molloy, the col-
lege's academic vice-president.
The departure of the four
players could leave Marist with a
depleted basketball squad this
season. Marist head coach Mike
Perry said he may have one
potential recruit enrolling, but
other than that he has no pro-
spects for replacing the other
players. Perry said that he is
prepared to enter the season with
11 scholarship players out of a
maximun 15.
"The reason we issued this
statement now is because three of
the students were in summer
school," Molloy said, referring to
Allen, Johnson, and Wynn. They
were given the opportunity to at-
tend summer school and get their
averages up to an acceptable level
but they were unable to do so.
The loss of the four players
leaves Perry with
11
scholarship
athletes.
The
five . returning
players are seniors Steve Eggink,
Gil Padilla, Bruce Johnson and
Ted Taylor,
and
sophomore
Mark Shamley. Two players,
Drafton Davis, of the Bronx, and
Alain Forestier of
Nice,
F:rance,
became Marist students in just the ·
last few days. Three foreign
players,
Forestier,
Miroslav
Pecarski of Yugoslavia, and Rik
Smits of Holland, had just started
college last week. Also among the
six entering freshmen are Mike
Fielder from California, and Ken
Galloway ofOnteora.
Metcalf, a 6-8 forward, would
have been entering his senior year
after sitting out a season of
basketball and one semester of
classes. A transfer student from
the University of Rhode Island in
his junior year, Metcalf left the
team before last season started.
College officials assured him he
could rejoin the team and regain
his scholarship this year if he
became eligible.
Allen, a 6-5 forward from
Maryland, played an average of
eight minutes and scored two
points a game in his sophomore
year.
Johnson, a
6-5
forward from
Philadelphia, was injured for the
last 12 games of last season as a
freshman. Before that, he had
played an average of IO minutes
and scored two points a game.
Wynn, a 6-5 guard, earned a
starting job as a freshman by the
end of last season. Wynn averag-
ed six points a game.
