More than 200 members of the

Their assignment is a continu-
ation of the role they have played
in enforcing the no-fly zone over
the war-torn area for the past 30
months, Lt. Col. Dan Bristol said.
''This is. exactly what we train
for every day," Bristol said. "We

Bristol wpuld not specify how•

the Niagara Falls base: would
make the nine-hour flight over-:-
seas. The planes will not fly into
. Bosnian air space, Bristol said.
Reservists were e<c1ger

safety.

Looking past graduation~ son1e
students prepare to
by BLi'mE MAusoLF
Staff Writer
While many students wonder
what their future holds, some
Marist undergraduates have al-
ready worked out one very impor-
tant detail.
Although most of their peers are
still searching for a love connec-
tion, a small number of students
are engaged.
Kelly Magee,a senior from
Portchester,
NY, has been engaged
since she graduated high school.
She says that she knew that en-
gagement was the right decision
because she wanted to go to col-
lege, so she was not ready for
marriage, but that she felt she
needed something more.
"I wanted to go to school and
finish my education, but I felt that
we needed a stronger commitment
to each other than just being girl-
friend and boyfriend," said
Magee.
•
Freshman Cardi Kramer, of
Pittsburgh, PA, who has been en-
gaged a year arid a month, also
felt that the college years were a
good trial fora relationship.
If we can withstand being in
college and apart. then we have
every right to get married," said
-
Kramer.·
Beth Dooley, a senior. from
Bricktown, NJ, said that being at
college didn't affect her decision
to get engaged a month ago.
"I just think we were both ready
for it, so we went to look at rings
and it happened," said Dooley.
For Karen Landry, a junior of
North Reading, Mass, becoming
engaged was a natural progres-
sion. At first, her fiancee was her
best friend, and engagement was
just part of the evolution of the re-
lationship.
"First we were best friends and
then we solidified that and it
starte~ to move toward, yes, I
want to be with this person for the
rest ofmy life," said Landry.
Junior Beth Torres, of
Middletown, NY, said she has
been through a lot with her fian-
cee. She believes that her engage-
ment in March was the right
choice. She said that they have
spent time apart, but the great
amount of trust, communication
and commitment in their relation-
ship brought them together.
"I just knew I wanted to be with

you just
know,'' said
Kramer.
The engagements have
changed their experience
at Marist. Although it is a
willing sacrifice, it does place
some limits on their li\'es.
"It
definitely linuts your circle
of friends, and there are certain
things that girls
who
are engaged
just shouldn't do," said Kramer.
Torres and Dooley agreed that
they received a chilly reaction
from some of their male peers.
"A l_ot
of guys are more aware.
They don't want to talk, instead
they step back, like 'Uh oh, she's
taken'," said Torres.
"It's like an omen,

Landry said that there was defi-
nitely
a
sacrifice involved.
"It's hardto manage your time
between your friends and the
person you're
.engaged
to," said
Landry.
Kramer said that it is more re-
stricting, because instead of
thinking of herself, there's an-
other person she must always
worry about.
•
"You have to think is this some-
thing that if it were the other way
around
_would
I like it if he did
it?" Kramer said.
Magee, Landry and Torres are
planning on being married in
1997, and Dooley and Kramer in
1998.

Most of the students. wanted
to wait until after they graduate
from either Marist or graduate
school.

However, some Freshmen club
members said they just learned
how much w9rk dancing entails.
Brenda Bertolini said that the
club involves a great deal of
team-work, hard work and prac-
tice.
The audience seemed to appre-
ciate their work, as they clapped
along and screamed for their
friends.
Kerry Peterson, a student who
attended the performance, said she
especially enjoyed the show's va-
riety.
"I
like that there are so many

there is a lot of talent," Peterson
said.

Erin Darmody is one student

"It was

I am so happy to see all the

The Dance Club chose a new
advisor this semester, Nadine
Lewis from the HEOP office. The
club's former advisor, Vicki
Sarkisian from the Academic
Learning Center decided to give
the position to someone else, since
she had it for many years.
Nadine Lewis said she knows

Lewis said she knew

Lewis said she is happy she was
chosen to advise the club.

Fraternity hazing gone too far
The hazing process has long been part of the tradition
initiating new members. into fraternities and sororities.
However, hazing can sometimes be taken tooJar. There
are numerous stories circulating out there of college stu-
dents who end up· in the hospital, or even worse have
died, from these acts. I was recently infonned of an im-
pending hazing act at Marist that may endanger not stu-
dents, but animals. The following letter was sent via e-
mail warning theMarist community of a possible hazing
tragedy:
•
"I am a college student at Moravian College in
Bethlehem, PA. Tonight, it has come to my attention
that one 6f the fraternities on your campus is.
involved in hazing activites. I do not know the name
of this fraternity, but
I
know that they have gotten
into trouble-recently for hazing. On Hell Night, they
plan to lock their pledges overnight in
a
closet with a
fork, a knife, and a cat. Over the course of the night,
the pledges have to kill the cat. This is unethical,
disgusting, and undennines the concept of education
and the Greek system. Please do whatever is in your
power to stop this."
l
hope initiating new fraternity members does not have
to require such grotesque measures. This is indeed to
slap in the face to the Greek community at Marist. I do
not want to misrepresent the fraternities that are not in-
volved in such hazing, but
I
hope this letter stops the
ones that are.

We are tired of eating off out floor!'
Editor:
Since the last week in August, the ten residents in Townhouse
A3 have ~n eating our meals at a table that barely seats half of
• us. There 1s, however, another table in our house but unfortu-
nately, it Jacks the fourth leg needed to make use ~fit.' This table •
presents a danger
as
it has fallen many times;_ We have coniacted
the appropriate personnel regarding the situation and have been
told on several occasions that a new table is on the way. However,
four months later, we are still taking turns at the kitchen table and
fighting for a seat. Is this task of getting a kitchen table too big for
Marist to handle?

of the security guards have ever asked what's in my bag. My bag
looks the same today as it has looked the past two years.

I was -offended because I picked to have my bag checked_

Attention procrastinators:
Val-Kill a gr.eat
way to f'kill" a·lazy.stlldy clay
At last.
_There
is finally a place
nearby for procrastinators to
spend a mindless afternoon
away from studying.
Val-Kill, on Route 9G in Hyde
Park was the home of Eleanor
Roosevelt from 1945 until her
death in 1962. In 1977, the home
became open to the public, and
tours are given through the cot-
tage.
The cottage actually
began as a furniture factory, run
by Eleanor and her. friends,
Nancy Cook, Caroline O'Day,
and Marion Dickennan during
early 1920's.
The women were trying to help
fann workers learn manufactur-
ing skills in addition to agricul-
ture,
.
However; the factory
closed during the Great Depres-
sion because people could no
longer afford to buy their goods.
After the business folded,
Eleanor converted the building
into two apartments for herself
and her secretary, as well as sev-
eral guest bedrooms to handle
the
overflow
from
the
Roosevelt's
main
home,
Springwood.
After Franklin Roosevelt's
death in 1945,Eleanormoved into
Val-Kill permanen~y. In the years
prior to her death in 1962, she en-
tertained a variety of guests rang-
ing from Adlai Stevenson to John
F.Kennedy.
•
•
At the beginning of the tour,
there is a very infonnative 20-
minute movie. on the life of
Eleanor Roosevelt. It tells of the
variousroles she played through-
out her life, including wife, politi-
cian and most importantly, hu-
manitarian. This rµovie is defi-
nitely the best pan of the tour.
The tour of the home itself is
rather dry. Due to fire hazards,
only the first floor is open to the
public. So, one winds up only
seeing part of_ the secretary's
apartment, the Jiving and dining
rooms, and the porch.
However, they do have pictures
of her bedroom so that one has
an idea of what it looked like.
Most of the furniture_
pieces in
the house are rep~uctions be-
cause a lot of it was sold after
her death.
. On a niore positive note, the
cottage
is filled with original pho-
tographs, which give visitors a
greater insight to Eleanor's pri-
vate life. Although much of the
tour guide's talk was reiterated
from the movie, he did have some
•
bad thing after all.
•

The Eleanor Roosevelt National
Historic Site is open seven days
