"I think it would be a lot of-fun

Massie said he wants the press
to use Marist because of the end-

able.

"I
want Marist to be involved
because the staff and faculty
have expertise, the students are

ment," Massie said.
Trish Clark, also a senior com-

be a good opportunity for the
college to show off what it has.
"I think it would be good for
the communications department
to show how useful Marist can

as n~w on-campus fraternity>'
byT
ARA SULLIVAN
'Staff
Writer
Three greek letters that we see
throughout Marist campus will
be more meaningful because of
the newly chartered fraternity.
Alpha Phi
Delta.
.
At the Wednesday, Oct. 4, 1995
meeting of the Greek Council,
Alpha Phi Delta was chartered as
an on-campus fraternity.
The charter was approved by
the Student Senate, Student
Body
President,
Michael
Carlson, the Greek Council, and
the Vice President of Clubs Jen-
nifer Nocella.
The
final decision,
by Jennifer Nocella, was to allow
them to rush both semesters.
"I am so happy," said Ramsay
Whitworth, Vice President of Al-
pha Phi Delta. "because we've
been trying for four years to be a
fraternity; but we've run into
many obstacles."
Last May, when the cap was
raised on campus clubs, Alpha
Phi Delta was on the top of the
waiting list. They followeo all
procedures to receive a charter,
but found problems with the is-
sue . of rushing.
•
When a new fraternity is char-
tered, a one year probation is is- ·
sued. Also, the fraternity must
prove that they are organized
before any pledging is done,
which usually takes a semester.
Alpha Phi Delta has 14 mem-
bers, 13 of which are seniors. If
the fraternity was not allowed to
rush during the fall semester, the
new µiembers who pledged dur-
ing spring semester would have
little experience when the seniors
graduated.
•
The fraternity did not want io
leave inexperienced members, so .
they asked they be allowed to
rush both fall and spring semes-
ters of the 1995-96 school year._
"Since the names we get
through rushing on campus will
be underclassmen, we will be able
to continue the chapter," Clint
Vidal, Sargeant of Arms of the
chapter said.
The issue of rushing was de-
bated by the Greek Council,
where some felt it was unfair to
let Alpha Phi Delta have special
privledges. The issue was finally
put to a vote, which decided that
the fraternity. was allowed to
rush both semesters.

"Presidents Clinton and
YeltSin speak to between 8,000
and 10,000 people, seated along
the campus greenwith U.S. and
Russian flags waving in the
wind and leaves changing col-
ors behind: them as boats go
down the river. With that kind
of opportunity, how could they
resist?" Massie said.
Another scenario involves an
event -that' happened iri 1946
when President Truman and
Winston Churchill spoke on a
small college campus in Mis-
souri.
Churchill used the
phrase 'iron curtain' for the first
time when at the college.
If Yeltsin were to speak here,
it would give him the c~ance to
say that the iron curtain has
been lifted with the fall of com-
niunism, Massie· said. The his-
toric statement could put Marist
on the map and in the history
books.·
"I· think anything is possible,
and if you don't
try
every way
possible you'll never know if
you'll be able to do it," Massie
said.
There is a good chance that
we'll receive a favorable re-
sponse, Massie said.
Marist students drove vans for
the media and staff and helped
with other necessities during
President Clinton's Hyde Park
visit in 1993.
When Hillary Clinton visited
Val-Kill on Oct. 1, Marist stu-
dents also helped with parking
and ushering.
After his visit two years ago,
President Clinton commented on
the help received from Marist,
expressing how thrilled he was
that so many people helped out.
He also sent thank you let-
ters to many people on campus,
Massie said.
"I believe that we have
proved to President Clinton
and the White House that we
are more than capable of han-
dling it," Massie said.
Most students are excited at
the prospect of so much atten-
tion coming to Marist, Massie
said.
"It would be amazing if he
came," Christine Galicia, a
freshman, said.
Murray and Massie are still
waiting to hear from the White
House and Russian Ambassa-
dor regarding their requests.

The comedy began as an ordi-

to save money, and it turned into
a crazy mess.
People constantly came in and
out of Jon Trachtmand and Leslie
Arthur's apartment at the wrong
time, and they witnessed cross-
dressing, affairs and drunken-
ness. Trachtmand and Arthur
were played by Jef Freydl and
Tom Gallagher.

Hospital Transportation
Concerns
After being an RA in Marian for about one month, one of the
biggest concerns so far has been regarding students getting to the
hospital. Many students have been upset that security is not obli-
gated to transport students over to St. Francis, and they are very
upset that they think that they have to walk over.
Hopefully I can explain. Security just doesn't have the time or
manpower to transport every student over to the hospital. But dur-
ing emergencies, students can get rides by security, and for dire
emergencies, an ambulance will be used.
But for minor trips over to St Francis, the place to go is to Health
Services. Marist has an agreement with one of the taxi companies
that if you go to Health Services, they will call a taxi for you, and the
bill will be charged to the college. After your visit to the hospital,
you can use the phone at the reception desk to make a free call to the
cab company, and they will drive you back to Marist, again for no
charge.
I used this method on Tuesday, and there was no hassle at all, and
I didn't have to pay for my ride to or from the hospital, and more
importantly, I didn't have to bother security about getting a ride
over. They have other concerns that they have to devote their time
to .
I just wanted to clear this up, because many students seemed
unaware on how to get over to the hospital. For more information,
call Health Services, and like always, if you have any other concerns,
call Student Government at x. 2206, or speak to me at x. 4052.
Sincerely,
Todd Lang, Senate Speaker

Powell is
a
dynamic, intelligent, and_incredibly
sincere person'.
·
His military abilities as a General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff are unquestionable.,
_.
.

_
The question is, is he a good preside~tial candidate?
On this
I
would have to say no.
.
While
I
agree with his positions on many issues,
I
still believe that he
does not have what it takes to become President.
._
General Powell would like,ly
be overwhehned in the first week on
the job because the rigid system of quick obedience
that exists in the military does not exist in the
Washington
bureaucracy.
.

That point aside~
should GeneralPowell
dec;ide
to
run, he has two options.

The
whole idea of any kind of liberalism is horrifying
to tile Christian

the far right who tend to come out in large
numbers to voteinRepublican primaries;
•
•
It is for this reason that I believe Powell will not and should not run as a·
Republican.
_
.
.
. .
.
The Republican Party, despite Bob D01~•
s amusing claims of a big tent
feeling in the party, is not prepared to nominate someone who is-pro-
choice, pro-affinnative
action and pro-gun control.
As much as I admire and respect Colin Powell, I feel that he should not
run for President at this time.
•
If he chooses to run, I wish him the very best.
___
_
It
is
sad that the Republican Party feels threatened by hini because he
takes moderate stands on some issues.
.
The Democrats, I feel, are just as threatened by him because we as a
party have not fully accepted conservative
economics.
Maybe our sense of ~ocial justice is getting in the way of that process.
-
Even the African-American
population continues to support President
Clinton.
Perhaps
if
the rest of us f~llowed their lead, the country could re-unify
instead of allowing the tides of conservatism to tear us apart
This country was not founded on division and hatred and we all should
work with the winners of the 1996 elections to ensure that we do not
repeat our past mistakes in the next millennium.

If you do not know by now, I
have some strange ideas float-

Take for example my attitude
about putting stamps on letters.
I do not write many letters be-

Never have, never will. I find it

Karen Goldberg's perfonnance
offered a study break last Thurs-
day. Her humorous music,
backed by acoustic guitar was
accompanied by free food and a
good time for all.
The event was Student Program

teacher turned singer, began her
career when she was a junior at
Towson
State
University.
Goldberg started perfonning at
small bars in Baltimore, Maryland
and after graduation she contin-
ued playing at night while teach-
ing during the day. Soon she dis-
covered that the music gigs were
more fun than teaching, so she
decided to take a year off and try
music full-time.
Twenty-two years later,
Goldberg has perfonned for more
than 200 colleges and universi-
ties, released five CD's, was nomi-

the inn, with
room

just for hiin.
A variety of shops ranging
from bookstores to antique
shops make up the town of
Rhinebeck itself. On Montgom-
ery Street, not far from the
Beekman,
is Workers and
Dream-
ers, a clothing boutique featur-
ing everything from trendy
women's clothing to unusual
men's boxer shorts. Right next
door is Cartouche, an antique
shop with two floors of vintage
items includingjewelry and fur-

elry. Most of their clothing has
an animal theme, including pig
socks and a black-and-white cow

After an afternoon of shopping,
stop in at Samue}'s of Rhinebeck
for a hot cup of java. Located on
Market Street, Samuel's has a
wide selection
of gourmet
coffees,
cappucino,
and
espresso. In addition, it also sells
gourmet chocolates and other
candies that will melt in your
mouth.
If shopping doesn't sound like
an appealing way to spend an
afternoon, Rhinebeck offers
other actiyities as well. Upstate
Films, on Montgomery Street, is
currently
showing
Bryan
Singer's 'The Usual Suspects'.
Upstate Films features foreign

Tate's performance as An-
thony was very good. How-
ever, judging by his young
looks, it's hard to believe that
he's playing a kid in high
school then later, a Vietnam
veteran. With the help of a
strong screenplay by Michael
Henry Brown, the actors, es-
pecially Keith David, capture
the raw and gritty language of
the South Bronx.
,
With music by Danny Elfman,
a terrific soundtrack, and ac-
curate set designs, 'Presidents'
captures the late 60's and early
?O's. The film looks good at
times but doesn't totally sat-
isfy. It doesn't cause the same
moralpondering that
'Menace'
did and fails to provide equally
interesting characters.
Certain scenes in the film were
good but all in all, 'Presidents'
was a disappointment. With
the recent trend in Hollywood
being a shift towards violence,
'Presidents' fulfills this grow-
ing hunger for blood and guns.
However, that's pretty much all
it offers. Ifyou find that re-
motely entertaining and get a
kick out of violence, then go

it.

Baseball Network may go-into extra innings
by
JOHN NELSON
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - . Major
league baseball became fair game
to the highest.TV bidder Tues-
day, touching off what was ex-
pected to be an intense _but brief
period of talks to replace the
short-lived Baseball Network.
Fox and CBS are among those
interested
in stepping
into
baseball's TV void, which could
be filled NFL style, with several
networks carving up the major
leagues.
"We're meeting wit.ti them this
afternoon," CBS sPorts presi-
dent David Keninsaid Tuesday.
"I don't think it will be very com- •

ABC and NBC dissolved The
Baseball Network in disgust last
June 23, leaving baseball with-
out a national broadcast contract
for next season.

LESTINSKY
Staff Writer
It seemed like a differentMarist
women's volleyball team on the
court Wednesday night against
Hartford than it did Saturday
against Wagner.
The Red· Foxes (2-15) played a
near flawless match from start to
finish to come away with a 15-8,
14-16, 15-9, 15-12, non-confer-
ence victory against the Hawks.
Marist's performance marked
only the second time to date the
Foxes have been on the winning
side of the net.
•
According to coach Emily
Ahlquist, Marist's execution of
its game plan was the key to the
victory.
"We took them out of their
game," Ahlquist said. "We
served well so they weren't able
to pass well.''
After winning the.first game,
15-8, Marist lost a tight second
one, 14-16.
But instead of letting up, the
Foxes came back strong to win
the third, 15-9.
Ahlquist said her squad was
more motivated to keep the pres-
sure on Hartford after the sec-
ond game than anything else.
''They (the team) were very
determined after the close sec-
ond game," Ahlquist said. "They
knew they had it and they didn't
let up.''
As a result, the Hawks bowed
out 15-12 in the fourth and in the
process gave Marist a much
needed confidence boost.
Junior outside hitters Mary
Beth Horman and Liz Herzner
played large roles in the victory
with 15 kills and 12 kills respec-
tively.
Also keying the Marist charge
were Tara Damrau with 18 digs
and Ellie Schuerger with 40 as-
sists and
I
5
digs.
Three days later, however, the
Red Foxes were disappointed
again, this time by conference
opponent Wagner.
In the match, Marist was Jet
down by the most successful
facet of their game- its passing
.
and serving.
Because of the lack of precision
passing and serving the Foxes
are accustomed to, they were not
able to run their plays, disrupt-
ing their style of play.
The result was another tough,
five-game loss, 15-8,4-15, 15-12,
6-15, 17-19.
In
the first game for Marist,
Mary Beth Horman tallied seven
kills on eight attempts.
She would end up with a team
high I 3 for the game to go along
with I 3 digs.
Other notable performances
were turned in by freshman out-
side hitter Heather Vir and junior
.
outside hitter Tara Damrau.
Vir
totaled 12 kills while Damrau
collected 15 digs.
Despite the outcome, Ahlquist
said Mari st 's loss to the
Seahawks was good for her team
because it taught them a lesson.
That message, Ahlquist said,
was to "treat every match like a
new match."
