Advertising major denied;
Rebcook to leave college
by Holly A. Sraeel
The proposal for an advertising
major at Marist was defeated by
faculty members on April
19
by
five votes,
29-24,
with
22
ab-
stentions.
The proposal was- presented to
the Academic Affairs Committee.
by Gene
Rebcook,
associate
professor
of
communications
arts, after he had worked on it for
approximately two and a half
years. Since the time of the ad-
vertising major defeat, Rebcook
has resigned from his position at
Marist.
·
"I
have accepted a position at
the school of journalism at West
Virginia University.
I
have also
been asked to assume the chair-
manship of the advertising se-
quence upon the retirement of the
present chairman
next year," said
Rebcook.
Prior to the faculty vote, a
controversial debate took place to
argue the philosophy behind the
advertising major, according to
some
faculty
members.
"My
understanding of the debate was
to discuss the over-practicality of
the advertising major rather then
the
theoretical
aspect,
0,
said
Diane Lake, assistant professor
of communication arts.
The controversy over the defeat
of the advertising major stems
from the large number of ab-
stentions and the absence of
Rebcook at the faculty colloquy
and vote on April
19,
according
to some faculty members.
"I
have no animosity toward
anybody here. If people voted
against it or abstained in good
conscience, it is in the best interest
of Marist College," said Reb-
cook.
The original date
set
for the
faculty vote on the proposal was
April 13, but was changed to
April
19
due to a violation in
administrative policy.
As stated in the policy, all
faculty members are to be given
five
days
notice
before
a
colloquium. All faculty members
were not given five days notice
prior to the voting date, ac-
cording

body's attention and everyone
who has signed my petition for a

I felt it would have been as
unethical if I did not protest this
election as the election was itself.

The Man Who Played His
Violin for Horses
by Patrice Sarath
(junior/senior literary writing)
The man ·who played the violin for horses was a
thin man, with nothing to
.spare
in the way of
spiritual or physical flesh, hung to dry on a rack
of empty bones. A fat man could wrap himself in
rolls and mounds, that would shake with each
.
sweep
.
of the horsehair
·
bow across vibrating
strings.· A fat man could hide his eyes between
brow and cheeks with a child's nose and cupid's
bow mouth squeezed somewhere in his face's
depths; A
fat man could probably play better.
Stark Josef's violin partook of its master's nature
and gave not one fleshy sweet sounding note
away. Its thin shrieks and squeaks shattered the
air of the cobby hayloft where Josef lived in the
Graf's stables, confusing the bats that were his,
..
housemates. The stables could only be called
.
cathedral-like, with its
.
great arched ceilings,
beams hidden in the perpetual twilight overhead,
and leaded glass throwing spectral shadows on
·
·
the floor. The horses live_d underneath in huge
box stalls with wrought iron gates and
_
half
a
barred walls in between so the stallions could see
each other but not fight. They slept on peat and
dined on corn, and played bass counterpart to
Josef's taut soprano strings. The Graf's stables
were probably the only in existence w~ere will-o' -
the-wisps made their ghostly appearance in-

A View from Appalachia

(junior/senior nonfiction)
... The Demastuses, a family of 12 lived in a 20
feet by 24 feet shack without any of these
necessities. Twelve people living in a shack that
size leaves about 8-by-5 feet per person for living
space. Thanks to a West Virginia commun~ty
action service and Nazareth Farm, the family
now lives in a small three-room house. They have
no electricity, but most of the year they have
indoor plumbing and running water.
When the winter comes, though, the pipes are
frozen almost every
_day.
They also have a
twenty-five year old gas heater. The pilot light
goes out a lot, but it keeps them warm most of the
time. Last Christmas the pilot light went out at

Morality and the Movies
by Frank Bellacicco
(freshman/sophomore nonfiction)
... A survey of the films in circulation today
would suggest that we have gone from a condi-
tion of too much restriction to a condition of too
little discretion. Granted, the
1968
rating system
is generally effective in k_eeping young children
from
viewing
films that feature sex and violence,
but the concern for children is no longer the pro-
.
blem. Instead, we must now concern ourselves
with
-the
amount of sex and violence to which
adults are exposed. In light of this, the basis for
our argument is no longer a question of whether
or not a member ofthe audience can "deal with"
or understand what is depicted, btit it becomes in-
stead a question of the morality of the film-
makers and the audiences ...
.. .It should now be made clear that what is
called for is
not the removal from theatres of any
and- all films that possess violent or sexual im-
plications or aspects, for to do so would be to
deny
·reality.
What is called for is the removal of
episodes of sex and violence that serve only as
hocking attention-grabbers. Far be it from this
author to suggest that Hollywood should only
produce films in the Disney mold; where, at the
first sign of trouble, a magic fairy waves her
wand and everyone lives happily ever after ...
... If
such were to be the case, it would only be
the fault of our brilliant Hollywood writers and
producers for not using the full range of their
talent to produce films that we do not have to be
embarrassed to admit we saw. At the very least,
we would have the satisfaction of knowing that if
a film did indeed gross millions of dollars -
our
dollars -
at the box office, it was because the
·
film truly deserved the recognitiOJl, not because
some Hollywood producer made fools of us by
selling us two hours' worth of sensational rubs

Did you know that if you figure
out the exact speed of that thing
over the last 2000 Earth Years,
taking into account th(,: influences
bearing on its acceleration and
deceleration, the answer will fit
into the span of time between the
birth of Jesus and the Xmastime
location of that thing during 19!5
at the rate of 26 loops. His b1r-
thdate was 26 complete cycles
ago.
What does that mean?
It
means
that those three famous Wisemen
could have been looking at the
same signal you're going to see
with your own eyeballs, except
this revolution of that light is for
a slightly different purpose. What
purpose? I say a synergetical
system of human government,
which I'll try to explain as briefly
as possible here. This means that
in our time, the end of the system
is not the end of the world. I also
call the coming system,
Gridarian
Democracy, and here's why.
Gridarian democracy
Let's begin this explanation in
terms of what is Apocalyptic
compared to the pre-Apocalyptic.
All pre-Apocalyptic governments
are based on
secrecy, whereas
Apocalyptic
means
revelation
which is just the opposite. I think
you get the point quite vividly.
Once
that
difference
is
understood by one person on Ear-
th, such as myself, or all humani-
ty, one of whom we each are, the
stimulating questions of Jennifer
Nash seem altogether different
from what they were before this
point came into focus for us to
refocus the meaning of "peace"
as something more than the
absence of war or punching each
other out at
.
the level of mass
behavior.
The next thing I want to bring
up is the difference between
''group" and "grid," because all
pre-Apocalyptic governments are
.
And isn't that what the Scrip-
tures say? I have studied the
Torah of the Jews for this pur-
pose. I have studied the
Testa-
ment of the Christians for this
purpose. I have studied the
Quran
(also spelled Koran westwardly)
of the Moslems or Muslins for
this purpose. I have studied the
Gita of the Hindus for this pur-
pose. In fact, all major Scriptures
have mysteriously found their
way into my life and love for this
purpose; and I noticed that none
of them excludes the prophecy of
this
event.
All
predict
an
Apocalypse in world-history, only
different words are used to get the
point across .
·
The Islamic language is Zilz.al
(meaning a "shaking").
The
Vedic· language
is
·
Bhogovodia
(meaning a
b/essedizotion).
All
of
them agree that this
Tikkun
(Jewish) or Apocalypse (Chris-
tian) must be brought in by the
elect of the Earth; and it is from
the word "elect" that we get the
term "election" which is purely
democratical, whereas the best
pre-Apocalyptic
governments
have only been republics (with or
without bananas).
.
Now, as we begin to combine
the elect with the grid through
their thinking synergetically, what
we will be getting is Gridarian
Democracy to make this a better
world, not only to live in but to
·
love
in,
which means we're right
back to that process of
song I was
telling you about earlier. Sing
this:
We live in an age of song
That cannot be suppressed and
here's why,
Talk has legs and can walk
But $Ong has wings and can fly!
First integer of new system
Squeezing
Gridarian
Democracy into this little essay
for the Marist
Circle isn't going to
be easy, but here goes. The First
Integer of Gridarian Democracy_
starts to engender on this planet,
when people become conscious of
this New Song and begin to loose-
. ly organize
themselves
into
Gridarian Votary Associations.
Tenative beginnings are good
enough. These can range from
just a few people up to 1500 per
association.
At the capacity of 1500, the
laws
of
genetics
the
synergetical
principles l of
biological development -
come
into play, and the unit of 1500
"splits" like in the DNA structure
to form two units of 750 people
per organization.
Please take
Gridarian
knowledge that the
term "organization" comes to us
from the word
organ by which we
describe what the genetics of our
bodies
are

because you're also depending on
actors, on a director and a

"There are a lot of other things
that interfere once you are no

it's
frustrating.
The director
assumes that once he has the

it's his vision of what you did.

Fof refugee,
a_
long·
roa~
to freedom
by
Cammie Stefflch
Walking out your front door
and being able to go just about
anywhere you please is a freedom
many of us take for granted.
•
For Trang Van Tran, it is a
freedom he
will
cherish for the
rest of his life.
,
Van Tran is a 22-year-old
Vietnamese refugee who risked
his life by escaping from his
country.
"Vietnam is a very
..
terrible
place to live," Van Tran said.
"You cannot live in peace there. I
had to escape. I wanted to be
free."
.
So Van Tran arranged to
become part of an escape party
that would leave Vietnam by
boat.
"My parents, brother, and
sister
decided to stay in Viet-
nam," he said.
"It
was very
tough leaving them. l don't know
if 1
'11
ever see them again."
.
Van Tran set off on his search
for freedom. He and 44 others
secretly boarded
a boat
in
Vietnam.
The sailing was not smooth for
the tiny boat
·
·or refugees. The
boat broke down in the Gulf of
Siam and the refugees were left
stranded on a small island.
Thirty-nine members of the
group remained on the island for
five days, while six others went
back to Vietnam for a new boat.
Those
·
on the island had to
constantly be on the lookout for
Communist boats. "We were
afraid a Communist boat would
come and take us back to Viet-
nam,"
Van Tran said.
No
Communist
boat took
them
away, but they sti\\ faced trouble.
Two Cambodian boats landed on
the island and stole everything··or
value from the refugees .. "We
were left with nothing,"
.
Van
Tran said.
When the new
'boat .
from
Vietnam arrived, the group sailed
tQ Thailand, where the govern-
'
ment there declared the refugees
illegal aliens and·placed them in a
··
refugee camp.
·
Life in the camp was agonizing ..
Van Tran said he did nothing but
sit around day after day.
"It
was
like being in jail,'' he said.
In March of 1982, after being
held for--nine months, Vari Tran
was released from the camp.
He then went for- interviews
before
·
delegates
of several
countries, including the United
States, Canada and France.
.
Van Tran was accepted into the
United States and Canada.· He
chose the United States because
the process of entry into the
country was much quicker than
that of Canada's. And, according
to Van T.ran, "I wanted to get to
freedom as soori as possible."
·
Today, Van Tran
.makes
his
home in Poughkeepsie. For now,
he is just going to school, but he
hopes to get a job in the summer.
How does
.
he like living in
America? "I'm so· happy,". he
.said.
"l.
appreciate everything I
do now because I know I'm doing
it because/ want
to."

said Scileppi.
The AAC
has established
a·pproximately four guidelines to
follow in drafting the proposal of
the new CORE program .. The
four guidelines are as follows: A
concern for the common ex-
perience for all students, such as
. in-class experience, co-curricular
experience (lectures) and extra-
curricular
experience (cultural
interchange); a broader spectrum
of courses in the liberal arts area;
intermediate and upper

courses in the general studies; and
a "capping" experience
.
during
senior year to integrate learning,
according to Scileppi.
The establishment of guidelines
does not guarantee an acceptable
new CORE program, Scileppi
pointed out. "It's nice to have the
guidelines, but now we're trying
to construct something," said
Scileppi.
·
Upon completion of the new
CORE program proposal, the
AAC will have the faculty debate
and vote on the proposal, ac-
.
cording to Scileppi. "When the
AAC derives a good model, we
will hold a faculty colloquium,
then the faculty will·· vote.
If
approved, administration and the
board of trustees will vote: It's an
extremely touchy issue," said
Scileppi.
The AAC is comprised of three
elected faculty members and two
student representatives from the
Student Academic Committee.

Question - Staying on athletics,
in the publlcatlon that dealt with
the planning assumptions for
1983
through
1988,
one statement
was "that any new programs
undertaken at Marlst must at a
minimum
be self-supporting
within a reasonable time."
A con-
cern bas been raised on
ClllllPUS,
that after three years In Division
One the basketball program ls still
operating at a flnanlcal loss.
Originally the Idea of .Division
One basketball was sold to the
Board of Trustees as becoming, at
a minimum,
self-supporting.
How
will that affect the program,
if
it continues to move at the same
pace?
Answer - Well, one· of the
reasons for the reorganization of
our athletic department was an ef-
fort to put a little more emphasis
on basketball, to try to get it too
that self-sufficient point.
I have been very pleased with
the money that has been raised to
support the program by the Red
Fox Club, our athletic booster
group. They are giving
$25,000
to
$30,000
every year to help sup-
port the program, and for a new
program at a young college, that
has been a very significant ac-
complishment. The attendance at
our games has been increasing,.
and
I think that is a positive
trend.
You
arc
correct
in your
assumption that it has not been a
revenue producer
fot
us as of yet ..
That is still
a goal for the college,
and we will continue to monitor
the money that the basketball pro-
gram produces for the college.
.
But we also have to take into con-
sideration the support that it
helps generate from the com-
munity, the visibility t~at it gains
for the college throughout the
Northeast and the fact that many
of the colleges we care to be
associated with participate at the
Division One basketball level,
because of the positive benefits,
besides
financial,
which
are
brought to the college.
Quesdon - Twenty years after
your term as president Is com-
plete, how would you like a
local
historian· to look back at your
.
leadenbip of Marlst
College?
Answer - Well, I think when we
look back on this era in cduca-
. tion, it is going to be viewed as a
·
very difficult one -
one in which
we are paying the price for the
deferred maintenance that has
taken place for many years. It is
one in which we do
·not
pay our
faculties and our administrators
what they should be_
P.aid.
·
It
is go-··
ing to be one in which the
demographic
situation
put
tremendous pressures on colleges.
There are some colleges today
that are having tremendous pro-
blems that aren't publicly known
·
because of
the
demographic
pressures. So I think, first of all,
it is going to be viewed as a very
difficult era.
I would like people to look
back on my tenure as one where
people could say that he did the
best he could, the very best he
could, with the resources he had
available; I hope we made the
right decisions, trying to make
thrusts into the high-technology
areas, and yet not losing sight of
our liberal arts roots, and I hope
that my concern for some of the
moral and ethical dimensions of.
not only Marist, but of all col-
leges, that it would be thought
that those elements would not
be
forgotten during my tenure.

Four Marist prOfessoi:-s
will
go
.on sabbatical next.year
by
Kevin Schulz
Four Marist faculty members
have been granted sabbaticals for
the 1984-1985 academic year ac-
cording
to
Andrew
Molloy,
academic vice-president.
The four professors named
were · Dr. Donald J., Calista,
associate professor of sociology;
Dr. Casimir Norkeliunas; assis-
tant professor -of Russian and
Ge~·man; Mr. Robert Norman,
A;sociate
professor
of com-
n
.unications; and . Dr. Edward
<>'Keefe,
professor
of
r,sychology.
A sabbatical is a paid leave·of
,1bsence given by the college to
professors who wish to study the
latest developments within their
fields and develop a project which
will enhance their knowledge and
thereby, benefit the students. Sab-
baticals are generally given after
seven years of teaching.
•Dr. Calista, currently in his
seventh year at Marist, will spend
both semesters next year studying
the relationship
between the
organization and the implementa-
tion of policies in public agencies.
He explained that laws and
policies are conceived. to satisfy
the needs and wants of the
population. These policies define
the ideal way that things should

be organized and are usually
vague. Therefore, Calista asserts,
some agencies have difficulties in
the actual interpretation of the
policies, and the result is low effi-
ciency.
"I want to develop ways to
strengthen
the
relationship
between how policies are started
and eventually how they are going
to be implemented," Calista said.
"The ultimate outcome is not on-
ly to implement policies better,
but to impact the policy makers
into how important the organiza-
tion is in achieving their own
directives," he said.
Calista said he will use existing
data and "look at it in a new way"
as he studies " ways in which
alternatives
are
more
ap-
propriate" in agency organiza-
tion.
Calista also plans to study the
organization and efficiency of
human seryice agencies (e.g.
agencies for rehabilitation, the
aged, and mental health) in the
states of Florida, Minnesota and
Connecticut.

column is acceptable today, "a

considered not quite right."
The Poughkeepsie Journal has
been running its personal column,
which is called Person-to-Person,
for about a year and a half.
"It
was an ·experiment for us,"
said Harris.
"There was the
possibility that we would not get
any ads."
However, Harris said that the

in accepting personal

"We are looking for something
honest, decent and free of in-

offend our readers," he said.
The Journal has rejected some
ads, Harris said, because they
gave
the
impression
that
"companionship may not have
been all they were looking for;"
Harris said. that specifying a
certain race in an ad is permitted.
"it isn't illegal. It isn't considered

However, Harris noted that
it

"The ads tend to mention the
good
points.
That
is only
natural," he said. "Most people
put on their best face, but it
probably pays to be reasonably
honest. Otherwise, it is just a big
waste of time."
Harris said, "It's amazing the
amount of responses the ads

Smith said it was "kind of

Pavelk(! bids farewell after
21
years
"'--
by Michael Lowen
After
21 - years at Marist,
Andrew Pavelko, former director
of the physical plant, is retiring.
Pavelko came to Marist in the
fall of 1963. He said he has seen
the school grow to be much larger
than he had anticipated.
"I
thought the school reached its
peak within these last few years,"
said Pavelko. "With the ad-
ditional land recently purchased
and the amount of money coming
into-the school, I could see the
campus doubling in both size and
populatiQn."
The land purchased lies behing
the townhouses on the north end
of the campus and is being
considered for an athletic field.
Pavelko is currently assigned to
a special project for Marist. He is
researching the history 9f the
campus and evaluating the status
of the current structures.
Pavelko
has
overseen
the
development of all the buildings
on campus except those left from
St. Anne's Hermitage, the former
owner of the college's property.
_ He noted that the area where the
townhouses now stand was once a
farm where the brothers grew
crops and raised livestock.
Pavelko started working as a
superintendent of Loft buildings
in New York City after leaving
the armed forces in 1945. He was
informed about the opening at
Marist by one of his employers
who had spoken to Linus Foy,
former
president
of
Marist.
Pavelko has lived in Hyde Park
and plans to retire there. "There
isn't a more beautiful area of the
country," he said.

LaMorte had written
a letter to
Galanti and Barnes giving them
two choices for what to do with
the money.
According
to LaMorte
one
choice was to hand the money

which
Barnes
had

however, Galanti and Barnes
org_anized a party for the seniors,

at All Sport to be held following

Barnes argued, however, that
the "seniors earned the money."
"The party was organized and
run by members of the senior
class,"
he said.
Barnes and
Galanti also denied that the party
is "self-serving."
Barnes
charged
that
"the
choices he gave us were self-
serving for himself."
Galanti added that the . money
did not have to be· used for the
options · offered .. them
by
LaMorte. "The Judicial Board
decided to let Dirt Pit (Manor) do
what they want with it 'after they
found that we didn't use college
funds (to support the party)."
Richard Dougherty, chairman
of the Judicial Board, however,
said the decision was made that
the money had to be used for
campus improvements.
Barnes said that LaMorte's
action was "slimy" and charged
that there is "conflict of interest"
in his role as a priest and his job·
as a disciplinarian.
. "Priests are supposed to. be
forgiving and understanding,"
Barnes said;
"I
could never go to

here because he'd
probably take disciplinary action
against me."

this year, Cernera said he believes

A killer called cholesterol
by
Kenneth F. Park~r Jr.
Russell Pellic~iotti is ~ell aware of the effects of cholest.erol.
·
Last year; at age 74, the retired government employee suffered
a heart att_ack, which his doctor later attributed to high levels of
blood cholesterol.
. ,
"The. saddest thing about cholesterol," my doctor sai_d, ."is-
that you cannot see or feel it building up. The first sign for many
is a heart attack," said Pellicciotti.
, .
At the end of an ordinary day, .the average American has
consumed the equivalent of a .full stick of butter in f~t. ~nd
cholesterol, according to the American Heart Association.
American men consume about 500 mg. of cholesterol per day
and women ·consume about 350
·mg.
per·day. Both levels are
about
60
percent more than the
A.M.A.
recommends.
"Until recently, doctors were not completely sure if there was
any link between cholesterol and heart disease.
I
wish they had
found this new information sooner," said PellicciottL
. ·
This new information was announced earlier this year by the
government after the broadest, most expensive research project
in medical history. The study produced tw·o major conclusions:
first, heart disease is directly linked to the level of cholesterol in
the blood, and secondly, lowering cholesterol levels reduces
incidences of fatal heart attacks.
. But according to nutritionists Betty White of the Dutchess
County Cooperative Extension, the results are not conclusive
enough.
·
,
"T~e study has made people aware of the harmful effects of
·cholesterol, but
I
don't feel it was conducted long enough. Ten
years is really not that long and there could be more dangers
ahead that we don't know about," White said.
The food~ that are highest in cholesterol are also some of the
most popular in America. They include beef, ice cream and milk ..
Denise Wozniak of the American Heart Association says that
these foods are safe if taken in modertion.
·
"What people should 'do is look at. their entire fat and
cholesterol intake. and plan· a workable i:liet. A diet of complex
carbohydrates
is effective because
it
limits the intake of
cholesterol. Then, if you want an ice cream now and then it is
safer,"says Wozniak.
Despite all the doom that has been predicted, some feel that we
are now able to correct our bad habits and live longer.
"Physical fitness
is
getting more popular everyday and being
done by all age groups,'' said White.
White also said she believes that Americans are becoming-more
willing to change to a healthier diet and more sensible life-style.
She also said she hopes that by the year
2000,
heart disease
will
no longer be the leading cause of death in America.
·
Mr. Pellicciotti, who is now faithfully following the low-
cholesterol diet his doctor. recommends, says that he feels op- :
timistic about the future.
·
"By following my diet eve'ryday
I
feel
I
am taking the best
medicine possible," he said.

Engineering courses set;
state delays ·New Paltz
by
Daisy Maxey
While the State University at
New Paltz continues to seek state
approval
for
its · proposed
en;ineering program, Marist has
jomed in a consortium which will
begin offering an undergraduate .
level engineering
degree
in
September 1984.
The Marist consortium with
Polytechnic 'institute of New
York
(PINY) .
of Brooklyn and
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institut<:,,
(RPI)
of Troy,
N.Y.,
will offer
electrical engineering and com-
, puter engineering courses.
Initially,
PINY
will offer the·
electical and computer engineer-
ing courses on the Marist campus
and Marist will provide the pre-
engineering courses , liberal arts
courses and the required electives.
However, as enrollment in-
creases and the program expands,
PINY and Marist expect to apply
to the state Board of Regents,
which sets educational policy in
· New York, for approval of an
inter-institutional branch cam-
pus.
Marist also projects that RPI
will join
PINY in offering
graduate engineering programs in
September
1985.
Plans
to
transmit the courses to the Marist
campus via a telecommunications
system are being discussed but are

Meanwhile, the New Paltz
engineering proposal was tabled
on Friday by the Board of
Regents and will be ·presented to
the board again sometime this
month. The current New Paltz
proposal is a revision
of
a pro-
gram which was disapproved by
the board in November.

.. whether

gram . will· not affect Marist's
plans to begin its program in the
fall, according to Marist College
Academic Vice President Andrew
Molloy.·
Molloy said that Marist has
held open houses, interviewed
students and received applications
for the engineering program.
"We have made a commitment
that we would deliver courses in
the fall. I think we will honor that
commitment,'' said Molloy.
Molloy also said that he does
not expect
PINY
and Marist to
have any problems winning ap-
proval from the Regents when
they apply for branch campus
status.
"I
expect that
PINY
and
Marist will be able to have a.
branch campus in the near
future," he said. "I don't think
there would be any problem of
our getting state approval when
we request it because the demand
for the courses would be such that
it would be warranted."
Julianne Maher, dean of the
School of Adult Education and
· coordinator of the Marist project,
denied that Marist is trying to
hinder the New Paltz proposal.
"The consortium came into be-
ing when, after the New Paltz
proposal was disapproved, IBM
and other area industries asked
Marist to consider engaging in a
program to fill the gap," said
Maher. "Six months ago nobody
expected that the New Paltz pro-
gram would still be under con-
sideration."
Maher also· expressed concern
over the way that New Paltz has
handled the matter.
''The
SUNY
system
has
become very political," she said.
"They seem to be trying to go
around . the Regents by pulling- a
lot of political levers. From look-
. ing at the situation, it
would
seem .
that New Paltz is trying to prevent
. the private consortium from func-
tioning rather than vice versa.''
However, Harry Gianneschi,
the SUNY New Paltz spokesman,
called the charges "absolutely un-
true."
''The
governor
and
the
legislature are our only resources
as a public institution,"
said
Gianneschi. "Trying to win sup-
port from the state is nothing
unusual or out of the ordinary
and I think people are· trying to
make it look that way."
Gianneschi called • the New
Paltz attempt to win state ap-
proval "the political process of a
politcal institution.''
.!'We (New Paltz) never really
have felt that we have been in a
political fight," he said. "Our
opinion has always been that two
programs can survive."
Gianneschi noted that New
Paltz President Alice Chandler
has written to . Marist President
Dennis Murray suggesting that an
articulation agreement be made
between the two schools if the
New Paltz program is approved.
Such an agreement would mean
that engineering students could
easily transfer credits and attend
courses at both colleges.
According to Maher, President
Murray has expressed interest in
such an agreement, if the SUNY
program is approved.
"We (Marist) have always been
open-minded," she said. "We
will continue to be that way.''
Gianneschi said that an ar-
ticulation agreement would be
"in everybody's interest."
•
"I think after we get done with
the arguing and fighting for our
. programs, we will look in the best
interest of the·· students," said
Gianneschi.

According

Young,

Rather, a person needs stamina.
"Hang gliding requires a lot of

The safety of hang gliding is

It was the worst season, the shortest. For
Ron Petro it was in a way all of these

In many ways a beginning, the 1983-84
basketball season was nonetheless an end·

the coaching post to become the college's

And for Marist College, and end as

without Petro on the bench, the

the personality of its new director,
Mike
Perry. It is, in a very literal sense, a new

·
The team may well fourish under
Perry, rising to prominence under power
of a greater commitment by the college,
but its history, its foundations and indeed
its rise to Division One are all part of one
man's dream come.true.
Petro came to Marist in 1964, having
just taken a master's degree in physical
education from Penn State (his
undergraduate work and his playing years
· were at Manhattan College). The visit, it
. should be noted, was for an interview
with Dr. Howard Goldman, who had ar-
rived the year before.
· "The position was crew coach ancl
basketball coach," said Petro, recalling
the interview. ''There are a few things I
can't coach, and one of them is crew.·
Especially since I· had never seen a shell
and didn't like the water. I wasn't offered
the job."
.:
Goldman also remembers. ''I had
known after that interview that he would
be the man to bring along Marist basket-
ball, once the positions were ·separl,lted,"
said Goldman.
Petro took a job with Irvington High
School, near his original.home in
Yonkers: Two.years later, in 1966, ....
· another job became available at Ma.ris"'t,
coaching basketbaH. On the day
in
April
when he was to come for another inter-
view, his first child, Michelle, was born.
However, the job eventually was his.
"I took a cut in pay from the public
school system, from $6,000 to $5,700,"
said Petro. "But the few hundred dollars
didn't make that much of a difference,
the benefits were good, and we liked the
· area."

So he'moved up with his wife Sally and
his new daughter, expanding the athletic
department to three -

and Paul Arold, the man who got the
1964 job. They shared a single·building

· "One of the things Ron is respected for ·
by those in basketball is his ethics. His in-
terest in his players stood out above
everything else." .
·
· "Everyone who knows Ron respects
him for his sincerity", his openness," said···
Goldman. "He gives of himself to people
very readily. His relationship with his ·
ballplayers and the respect for the school
he instilled in them was well known, one
of his strengths." ·
·
· "The first year we had nine wins, the
second year 11," said Petro. "We did a
tremendous amount of driving to recruit
players. You only recruited the radius
that you could drive. Two hours was the
limit."

Mike Fielder, a 6-4 forward
from Mater Dei High School in
Santa Ana, California, was the
second
signee
for
Perry.
Although he averaged only eight
points and six rebounds a game
his senior year, the statistics don~t
tell the whole story.
His high school coach, Gary
McKnight, described him as "a
fine defender- and hustling player
who really makes things hap-
pen." Fielder is just the type of

Garnier would be coming to the

team evened its record at S-S with
a
12-8
victory over Dowling last
_ Frid_ay
at Leonidoff Field. .
_
--~-
The. team's' final home game
was
.
played . . Tuesday ~. against
SouttihamptQn, a Knickerbocker
Conference rival. .
'
The Red Foxes were 2-4 in con- ·
ference play going into that game.
Friday's game was of the com-
·eback variety for Marist. Dowling
jumped to an. early. 3-0 lead, but
Marist stormed back with four
goals to.take a 4-3 lead. The lead
held up by halftime as Marist lead
6~s.
·
The · third quarter was the
game-breaker -for Marist as they
outscored Dowling 4-1 to carry a
10-6 edge into the final staI}Za.
Goalie Patil Lettera had 16 saves
for Marist, while Larry McNeill,
Tom Daly and Dari Arnold all
· scored twice in the game. Dowling
had beaten Marist 16-1 last year.
Marist has had its ups and
downs throughout the season. ·At
one point, the Fo~es wer~ 2-4
overall. The team has won three
out of four since that time. '

reasons for the win.
