comparatively, he said most college presidents only stay five

The average salary for other colleges' executive vice president
was $139,800,'about $12,700 higher than Sullivan's salary.
Anthony Campilii, chief finance officer and vice president of busi-

ployees at the college.
"It's like a city in microcosm here,'' Campilii said. He also said
salaries of Marist employees in general went up and average of three
percent.

politely listen to
each request, and I then choose to
either follow-up or not to follow-
up onthe suggestion.
From the very beginning of this
semester, the consistent weekly
suggestion has been Andy's Place.
This week's review is based
upon my visit to Andy's Place, lo-
cated. at 45 Dutchess Place, under
the railroad bridge, in the city of
Poughkeepsie.

I'm not going to try to hide any-
thing .here ... I really, really like
this place.
I'm not too sure what I should
pin down as being the most attrac-
tive factor, but this is a GREAT
place.

any type of food or drink.
The restaurant itself is quite
large.
When you walk in the door, you
are greeted by a room that contains
a bar, 15 bar stools and table_ seat-
ing for 20. • (Now, that's only one
room.) Off to the left, a doorway
leads you the "dining room". There
has to be close to 15 tables that can
seat up to four.
(My point is that this place is
pretty big. Considering the fact that
you enter a reriovated home, there
is plenty of seating and plenty of
room.)
I put some parenthesis around
the dining room because Andy's,

The turkey and the bread were
extremely fresh, the fries were just
as crispy as they should be and the
gravy tasted fantastic.
Here's a touch of criticism or a
suggestion for a future visit ... have
the french fries served on the side.
If you don't, Andy's serves the
french fries on top of the sandwich,
yet under the gravy. Do you see
what I mean?
If you don't enjoy fairly
drenched french fries, and I know
some of you do, then be sure to re-
quest otherwise.

Hane is a psychology/special
education major and has several job
interviews set up for next year.
While Hane will be stepping di-
rectly into the work world, other
seniors are preparing themselves for
graduate school or are getting ready
to take a year or two off before they
begin their careers.
Whatever the case may be, at
this point, most seniors are busy
preparing for their futures.
"Graduation means that you
have to leave some things behind
and make a transition into the rest
of your life," said James Muraco,
nior English major.
"I've heard quite a few people
say that they will be going."
Aside from this, Senior Week,
which begins after finals, will be a

"River Day was great," he said,
"I got to see a lot of the people I had

River Day which was held on

SIGNING OFF ...
•.
Four years ago,the class of
'95
embarked on what would end up being a short lifetime
in itself. Now, we are 16 days away from graduation and from ending a great lifetime of
memories. We all came to Marist with expectations of greatness.
We also came here to get an education not only in
a
major field of study but also in life.
Over the years, we have gotten quite an education.
Along with this education we built up a lifetime of nostalgia. Memories that will for-

ever bum in our minds until our death.

• They're the kind of things you will think of every time you hear or see "Marist". They
are the things that you will tell your children about when they are preparing for college.
It's strange and frightenening to think that come May 20 all of these little, insignificant
instances at Marist will become fond remembrances of a life we've left behind.

No matter how many times we've bitched and complained about administration, poli-
cies, whatever, Marist will still hold a place in our hearts.
Somewhere during the all-nighter and the studying, we all learned something about
life, love, sex, drugs, rock-n-roll.
-
We learned that life is not always fair. That people sometimes have their lives ripped
from them too early 1n life.
Some of us experienced how love can hurt time and time again.· Some found love that
will last them forever.
---
Many of us learned that sex is good, more than once. Others found that sex i~ overrated
and that Marist was nottheu-'tiine to dabble in.the taboo.,.:,.

..

Well, then there ·are th.os·e
who experienced drugs, thought
they
_were

and found a
calm way of life with them. But, others found through countless moments

altered con-
sciousness, that drugs are not meant for them,

And we experienced the musical movement kno\1{11

came and affected
the music we listened to, the way we dressed, the way we talked, the w_aywe danced. Then
it fizzled.




--
Within these various moments of realization, we experien~ed soine things mtich doser
to home. Perhaps closer to our hearts, we watched many of our Marist memories disinte-
grate over four years.

In any way you remember Marist, it is yours to keep locked away in a treasure box
which you hold the key to;
··And
any time you want to relive the time spent at this ins ti tu~
tion, you only need unlock it.


Within the box of treasures ~e embarrassl.ng moments, secrets of loves past, frjends,
parties ... And they are all yours.

.
It's reassuring to know that these treasures are yours, and yours alone.
.
But, the. magic in them.is that someone at Marist remembers them too. There's a bond
there that can never
be
broken.The friends you make in college will last the test of time.
The g009, the ~ad, the embarrassing moments are yours and you made· them.
I
know, personally, my treasures
are
golden and abundant. Leaving Marist puts so
many aspects of your life into perspective. •
.
!

I
know I'm leaving Marist with fond memories of relationships found, lost and re-
gained. My memories are stored deep in my heart and
I
know
I
only need to call a friend to
unlock them.

I guess you never truly_appredate what you have until you have to let it go. This isn't
a time to say goodbye to Marist, it is
a
time to embrace the life that awaits you.
This editor has written her last column for The Circle. It's time to let someone else take
the helm and hopefully, they will leave with the same fond memories of Marist that I have.
The Chief has let the ink dry
from
her pen to start a new page in life.
Now it's time to party! Congrats Class of
'95!
Remember, during Senior Week, ~•Don't
spill when you drink, don't choke when you smoke."

Staff Writer
" ..
.I spent four years prostrate
_
to the higher mind, got my paper
and I was free," Indigo Girls lead
singer, Emily Saliers, sang as a
handful of Marist Students jumped
on the stage to dance.
On Tues., Apr. 25, Indigo Girls
duo Emily Saliers and Amy Ray
played to a nearly sold-out crowd
in the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in
Poughkeepsie.
I have to admit that I am still
jealous of those people who got on
stage.
However, my dream came true
when I met Indigo Girls after the
show.
After waiting over two hours I
found myself face to face with
Saliers and Ray.
Shaking as I asked them for
their autographs, I had suddenly
forgot everything I had ever
wanted to say to them.
"Were you okay with all those
people jumping on stage?" I asked
Saliers.
"I
thought it was cool," the
soft-spoken soprano said.
Remembering that my friend
and I threw two shirts to them on
stage, I asked, "did you two get the
shirts we threw up on stage?"
Saliers looked up at me and said,
"the Marist shirts? Yeah, we got
them. Thank-you."
I was so elated!
Saliers and Ray really were
just as sweet as they came across
on
stage.
My only regret was that my
tape recorder and camera were in
thecar;
;,;,,-
·-·-·;;:;'.
After seeing five Indigo Girls
concerts in
the last
IO months, it

does get a little difficult to judge
of them.
However, I can honest_ly say
that their show in Poughkeepsie
tremely pricey, but the food and
the dining experience should be
fantastic:
(Here's a hint.

Where to take you're parents .
It's totally underrated be-
cause at some point everyone at
Marist will give it a try, but I
strongly suggest the River Sta-
tion.
In the Spring, around 7:30 in
the evening, the River Station
provides
an
ideal setting to enjoy
some the area's most well pre-
pared food.

The wine list is outstanding
and so is the view.

Hands down, the deck dining is
superb.)

thought into this and I think the
food and drink at Berties is far
beyond any of its competitors.
