Artz said he then administered
the Heimlich maneuver to Walsh,

"Finally, I was able to get the

Walsh was choking on a

was choking on .the saliva that
he was unable to swallow.
Walsh was taken to St. Francis

WASHINGTON
(AP)-
Re-
publicans and Democrats on the
House ethics committee have
begun intense negotiations .that
could lead to appointment of a
special counsel to investigate
Speaker Newt Gingrich's con-
duct, congressional sources said
Tuesday night.
The sources said Republicans

plaint says that if the course was

were improper.
The sources were all familiar
with the negotiations but would
not be quoted by name.
• The committee's five Demo-
crats are concerned that the
panel's five Republicans want to
limit the powers of a special
counsel - imposing such a tight
rein that the investigator could
not range beyond the tax ques-
tion.
Democrats want the probe, for
instance, to include whether the
course material - produced with
a taxpayer subsidy - was improp-

BAYTOWN,
Texas (AP) - A
Santa Claus outfit provided a dis-
guise for an armed man to rob a
truck stop restaurant of more
than $5,000 in a "Season's Greet-
ings" bag.
The red suit and white beard
did not make for a successful
getaway.
• The robber, who stole a taxi
as he fled late Monday night, was
chased by restaurant patrons
and eventually captured by po-
lice.

charges Tuesday, detective Gene

Sutton said·the·man dressed
as Santa told a cab driver to wait
for him outside the Country Pride
Restaurant. His costume elicited
smiles from customers as he ap-
proached an office.
He pulled what appeared to be
a handgun from his waistband
and demanded money. from the
restaurant safe, Sutton said. The
employees began to take the man
seriously
when he pistol-

began filling a red gift sack with

Mock task
force
tackles health care
A simulated public hearing by
a mock
•
federal task force on
health care addressed the ques-
tion, "Should health care for eld-
erly people be limited?"
The session, held on Tuesday,
was part of a course on Social
Work with Aging Persons and
•
their Families, taught by Assis-
tant professor of Social work,
Anne Botsford.
"The purpose of this • session
was to increase students' aware-
ness of social policy issues af-
fecting older people," Botsford
said.
Two Marist students took part
in the presentation with medical
ethicists and AARP representa-
tives.
Bianca DeLorenzo and Lynee
Dominick "testified" at the hear-
ing.
Botsford said the session was
conducted in the same manner
.
as a legislative hearing in Albany
or a congressional hearing in
Washington.

"It is a classic play. They had

Despite the musical's somber

with the lively dancing, lightened
the mood.
Dean Cox said he was also en-

Each family will also

Students take the

the ornament to at-

the other half in a drop

The gifts must then

Gallagher said.
Gallagher estimated that the
Giving Tree project would have
between $400 and $450 to spend
this year on gifts.
Although several Marist stu-
dents buy Giving Tree gifts indi-
vidually or with friends, several
campus organizations· also con-
tribute.
According to Giving Tree Com-
mittee member Dyana Santulli,
Sigma Sigma Sigma is sponsor-
ing an entire family this year.
They will collectively buy and
wrap all of the individual and fam-
ily gifts for one family.
The women's lacrosse team will
buy a tricycle, and the Psychol-
ogy Club held a bakesale to raise
funds for a child's bicycle.
Lisa Camagna, the president of
the Italian American Society,
said her club also took a collec-
tion from its members to buy sev-
eral smaller items.
"We decided this would be a
good way to get into the spirit of
the season," Camagna said.
Montipagni also said President
Dennis Murray contributes gen-
erously by sponsoring the recep-
tion for the Giving Tree in Lowell
Thomas.
•
This year's deadline for turn-
ing in gifts is Sunday, Dec. I 0.
After this, the Giving Tree Com-
mittee and about 30 other stu-
dents wilJ·sort and distribute the
gifts.
Although some families or their
social workers are able to pick up
the presents, Gallagher said
many of them must be brought
directly to the houses.
"The best part of it sometimes
is going to the houses because
it makes it seem real," she said.
Although the children some-
times get to see the gifts filtering
into their houses, Gallagher said
the parents often try to keep it a
secret.
I ordered the Italian Sampler. It
was listed as a special, but for
the same price of$5.95. The sam-
pler included a half-dozen stuffed
mushrooms, and two each of
toasted ravioli, mozzarella and
zucchini fritte.
There really was not all that
much "special" about this sam-
pler. I could just as easily have
ordered the stuffed mushrooms
and
ate
a couple
extra
breadsticks, which are included
with the meal.
Soups and
Salads
are
also
available. There is complimen-
tary refills on all soups ..
The restaurant serves a variety
of traditional Italian fare, such as
Lasagna· Classico ($8.50) Egg-
plant ($7.50) and Veal ($10.95)
Pannigiana.
I decided to try one of their
"Classic Entrees," Venetian
Grilled Chicken ($9.50). This was
grilled marinated chicken breasts
served with vegetables and
grilled bruschetta bread.
When the dish arrived, it didn't
look like much. It didn't taste like
much either. The plate was ex-
tremely barren. The only items
on it were two minuscule pieces
of chicken and a tiny dish of
pasta. The chicken was tasty, but
not for nine bucks.
Fortunately, the Olive Garden
has great desserts. I had the
Chocolate Mountain ($3.45),
which is light chocolate mousse
surrounded by two layers of
chocolate cake. It is topped with
chocolate sauce and whipped
cream.
I have been there before and
enjoyed it, but I left disappointed
this time.

Giving Tree Project reriiinq.s us all
of the true meaning of Christmas
Year aft~r year, the most notable sign of Christmas' rapid approach·at Marist is the
hundreds of presents piling around the Christmas tree in the LowellThomas building's
lobby.
Piled around this tree
is
the true meaning of the·holiday season - generosity.
The Giving
T~
ProJect, \,1/ilCh
spcms~rs this ~ual gift-giying CC!emony,
is a sign of
what college students can do when working together.
•
Many of tl:le gifts sitting under-~at C:hristmas tree are bought eithefby individual stu-
dents or student clubs.
Everything from a new pair of ice skates to a shiny pink bicycle are aniong the list of
presents that will put
a
smile on hundreds oflocal children's faces come Christmas morn-
ing this year.

Editor's Notebook:
Computer Lab cuts hours at crucial time of the semester
It has come to my attention that the Da Vinci computer lab in Donnelly Hall has been closed to
students from 8:00am to 4:00pm, Dec. 1 through 12, because of Add/Drop registration.
This is totally unacceptable
for students who must use the Da Vinci lab for computer generated art
courses. These courses require a great deal of computer time and the only color-jet printer is located
in the Da Vinci lab. Final art projects are due shortly, leaving insufficient lab time for students to
adequately complete their projects.
.
Perhaps Add/Drop registration could take place in the PC Support Center located in the lower level
of Donnelly computer lab. This would free the Da Vinci room for students needing the color printing
capabilities and still give registration additional computers needed for the registration process.

The most p9pµlar beUef is th~tevecything stems from child-

an indi-

ries of events occurred when someone was six, it was in
tht!ir adulthood that they put a bomb on a bus_

Of course, "it's allyo.ur fault" wouldn't look too good on a
campaign button. That's why politicians feed off of the public
and channefit towards· an institution they already disliked. It
is always easier to protest nothing rather than something. How
can you rally against the caqiage in ~osnia when they are
using dirty words on NYPD Blue?
•
For this problem to go away, human nature would have to
change. People would actually have to start taking the blame
for their own actions, and say phrases like "I'm sorry", with:.
out tacking the word "but" on the end.

This is your last chance

_
your views on campus :issues before
we breakfor a month for
Christmas·
vacation!
Per my boss's instructions,
I
·
drove up to a local automatic
teller machine, and almost
laughed my self silly. As I
reached over to get that receipt
that tells me exactly how patheti-
:cally
broke I am, I found that
the buttons on this particular;
ATM had Braille printedon
'them.
I assumed this was so
people with inadequate vision
could know the difference be-
tween the numbers.
.
Let's think about that for just a
moment.
-That's
right, put down
that copy of I Want To Tell You
by O.J., or pull yourself away
from the
Jan Can Cook show,
and think about how many blind
people drive up to ATM's. Um,
well; I think none is a pretty good
guess!
It's safe to assume that
no blind people drive up to the
automatic teller, not because I'm
prejudiced against blind people
using ATM's, but because
they're blind and they shouldn't
be driving anyway!
Many follcs drive around like
they are blind, and I'm sure that
at some point a grumpy old man
shook his fist at ine and said
"What 're ya blind!J??" But for
the general public's safety, I.hope
there aren't any blind people
cruising around.
Okay, so maybe the Braille is
so blind people can walk up to
the A1M and get their hands on
some cold hard cash. Well thank
goodness for
.the
Braille on the
keypad, now blind folks have the
same advantag~s as we do. But
wait
a
minute, something is still
wrong with this· picture. P·ut
down the "Why We Should Care
About Rich Celebrities That
We'IJ Never Meet" issue of
People. magazine and think
about it for a minute. How are
these visually impaired people
going to know if they have got-
ten the right amount of cash
anyway? Last time I looked
there
·wasn't
any Braille on
money, and call me impressed if
any person can actually tell the
value of a greenback by its
sound! You see a guy with dark
glasses and a cane holding the
bills up lo his ear, "Uh, let's
see .... umm,hmm .... um,hm ... yea,
that sounds like about 60 bucks.
But hold the phone, wait a
minute ... .! wanted three 20's, not
six tens!"
In fact, how do they know if
the cash is there
at
all? I think
this scenario might occur: Blind
guy comes home to wife,
"Here's that money for the cable
TV bill, honey. Hey, wadda'ya
mean these are only blank sheets
of paper with 'Ha, Ha, Ha' writ-
ten on th~m? They must be try-
ing to pull a fast one over on
me! I'm going right back over
there to give that bank a piece
of my mind. Gimmie the car
keys."

back!!L
That's. right, _this powerful
four-piece thrash outfit that
brought the
L.A.
style street
metal style into vogue, is back,.
with "Seeking Refuge,'.'.
on Ma-
licious/Capital Records.
•
Excel defined the West Coast
thrash sound in the late 80's
with 1987's "Split Image;" and
l 989's outstanding "The Joke's
On You." But after failing to get
a decent recording contract and
repeatedly being jerked around
by different·labels, they disap-
peared as the 90's rolled around.
Alone stands Excel with "Seek-
ing Refuge," an undiluted is-
land of sheer power rock, in an
ocean weak outfits who do not
even seem to turn their amps up
all the way. "Seeking Refuge" is
exactly what you should do,
sjnce Excel is kicking buttocks
and tiling names with these 10
songs.
.
(There is
a
secret hidden track
on the
end
of the
CD,
appearing
about ten minutes after the rest
of the songs are over. It's an
older.song recorded live, and is
quite a bonus;)
This certainly ain't no watered
down
sissy
alterna-rock
crap
....
Simply put, Excel pounds!
They do it without relying on
screeching guitar solos or tough
guy attitudes, and they also
avoid falling into that grind-core
mode of"fast part, slow part ... fast
part, slow part," etc., ad nauseum.
It's fast, but not blinding, and
it's heavy, but not too heavy.
•
Buy Excels' "Seeking Refuge"
or steal it or simply tape it from a
friend, eit~er way if you
_like
loud
guitars," then you'll like what
L.A. 's best power outfit has to
offer.

of this policy, guests of students'have

'have
fonned a commi!t~e consisting~f Brerit_Knapp'(Freshman

The first step my committee took was to•write:a proposal stating'a
solution for this problem. Our proposal's resolution required the back-up
resident director
to
be available on Fridays and Saturdays at
the.
ser times of
•
seven p.m. to nine p.m. to issue guest passes.- To ensure that Marist College
students do not take advantage of thi_s
new policy if-passed, a stipulation has.
been added. Students would only
be
able to get five guest-passes forunex- •
peeled guests per
_semester,:
F:or-ex~p_le; supp<;>se.~

Therefore, there should not be a limifori how many.times a s·tuden~
can,have a
guest for the weekend if he or she brings
'in
the, "Marl.st Gu~t Pass Request

pertained to unexpected guests.

Unfortunately, wl)~n. our· proposal· was examined by the resident
director staff/th..e assistant director o( !iousing aio.ng ~ith
~e

·
Currently, my cp~ttee

trying to reach a compromise in which students would
be
abie to obtain week-
end guest passes for unexpected gues~. Ho~fully, we can ~me together for
a solution to this problem by th~ end of this semester.
