Circle Film Critic.
It's tough to·find an actress who
kicks more ass than Sigourney
Weaver.
No one can forget her portrayal
of Ripley in the three "Alien" films,
one of which she was nominated for
an Oscar.
However, Weaver gives one of
the most intense and frighteningly
psychotic performances of her ca-
reer in the intense thriller,· "Death
and the Maiden."
Directed by Roman Polanski, this
film works because of the actors and
. the great deal of tension that is cre-
ated for them.
Based on the 1992 production of
a play by Ariel Dorfman, the story
is set somewhere in South America
and revolves around a woman who
is mentally tortured by a kidnapping
incident that took place in 1977 in
which she. was blindfolded, beaten
and severely raped by the members
of a South American military re-
gime, all the while Schubert's
"Death and the Maiden" was play-
ing in the background.
Paulina Escobar (Weaver) is
completely paranoid, pulling out her
gun whenever the slightest threa!
occurs, leading the • audience to• be~
lieve that she is mentally unstable.
Her husband Gerardo.(a middle-
class styled Stuart Wilson) is works
ing on finding his wife's torturers
while working with the U.S. gov~
emment to help his country's transis
tion to democracy, but is visibly
distressed by Paulina's condition.
On a stormy night, however,
Gerardo gets a ride home from a
doctor (Ben Kingsley) whose voice
Paulina recognizes as the key an-
tagonist who destroyed her life years
before.
Paulina ties him up, beats him,
and attempts to force a confession
out of the unwilling and confused
Dr. Miranda.
Is she just going nuts? Or. has
she by some strange coincidence
bumped into the abductor? Polanski

"It'sjust like, man, you're diggin' this momentandnothing's

Although Gaines thinks that
playing colleges and small venues
is harder, he enjoys the feeling that
the laid-back atmosphere creates.
"Anytime that you can get in
front of a group of people who want
to listen, it's good," Gaines said.
Gaines feels the benefit of an
intimate performance is the "free-
forrn" aspect.
"It's just really relaxed, it's kind
of fun."·
Gaines' second album, "Some-
what Slightly Dazed," (released last
July) encompasses the same style he
employed on his self-titled debut.
His talent as a songwriter is his
ability to be true and honest to him-
self - a quality that appeals to his
audience.
"That's probably what I have the
most experience in," he said. "Hu-
man contact and relations and things
that spur from that."
"A lot of the things that I ad-
dress, I'll speak of in the first per-
"As I've been listening to both
records, the execution vocally, I
think, is much better on the second
. album," Gaines said. "I can hear an
artistic growth. I'm just kind · of
expanding."
One of his goals musically is "to
create space for all the dimensions"
of his personality.
In relation to his debut, "Dazed"
has more of an electric slant to it
that Gaines thinks helps accentuate
the different moods of the songs.
The song
"I
Like You," off
"Dazed," is a pure example of
Gaines' simple, honest style.
"'I Like You' is as simple as I've
ever written a song," he said. "It's

sympathetic.''
With "Dazed," he aspired to cre-
ate a mood that would transcend the
often gloomy sound that the acous-
tic guitar can present.
"I tend to look at music as al-
most real, kind of visual and • cin-
ematic, and
I know there is a sector
of people who have received it that
way."

Gaines hopes when his music is
really working people will feel it and·
respond as they give something back
to you.

said.

to Daly, some things have been left
until the weather gets warmer so that
they can be done properly. - -
Daly said the whole project
should be completed by the middle
of' this summer.

The campus

green is part of a
larger $550,000 renovation which
includes the wall located on the edge
of the green, the temporary stage
area, new walkways, lighting and a
reconstruction of the pathway run-
ning behind the library.
The renovation is being funded
by both state and federal grants,
according to Daly.
.
The idea for the campus green
originated a little more than four
years ago when an
architect
firm
from Albany was drafting plans for
the building of the Dyson Center.
Sullivan said the firm pointed out
the tremendous opportunity Marist
was losing in using the plot of land
adjacent to Champagnat Hall for
nothing more than a parking lot.
"That spot holds one of the most
majestic views of the Hudson River
area and we were using
it
as a park-
ing lot," Sullivan said.

eat, drink, and feel comfortable do-
ing· it without a huge crowd. They

can also do this while"getting away
from the noise."
According to Scortini, contrary
to
.
popular belief, the wall was not
constructed to curtail under-age
drinking.
"I'm not plagued with a serious
number of students drinking under-
age," said Scortini. "I haven't had a
whole lot of propblems with Marist
students."
On the bar side, tables run along
side the partition.
A bouncer sits at a stool next to
the door checking arm bands to
ensure under-age drinkers do not
enter the bar.
In order to go from bar to dance
club, one must pass through a white
door, which, when open, reflects the
pulsating lights of the dance club.
Upon making an entrance to the
dance club, one becomes part of a
completely different atmosphere.
Scortini said he based his deci-
.
sion to separate the

bar on the
comments of approximately 100
Marist students.
According to Scortini, the rumor
that Marist
.College
had something
to do with the building of the mas-
sive wall was just a farce.
"I don't have a general feeling,"
he said. "Some say they hate it,
and some say they love it. Every-
thing is different than a mopth ago."
Scortini said he believes the wall
has advantages.
"I
can run two separate functions·
at once," said Sconini. "This week
[after press time] one of the frater-
nities is having a function on one
side, while the bar will be open on
the other."
Marist students said they had
mixed reactions to the new partition.
"It
sucks," said Bruce Weber, a
21-year-old senior. "A lot of my
friends are not 21."

"It's not that bad," said Jay
Johnston, 21."I like the bar scene
with the dancing separate, it is a
different atmosphere."
"I don't like it that well, it's not
free flowing," said Harold Laird, 22.
"We're packed in here. It's too
crowded."
"You used to be able to wander,"
said Mary Fava, sophomore "Now
it's too crowded, no one inter-
mingles."
Ho'Yever, according to Scortini,
all that 1s done may not be a perma-
nent fixture.
"l could possibly switch back,"
said Scortini. "I'm always open to
suggestions, people come by and I
always listen to constructive com-
• ments."

absence of snow this season has
made ski conditions less conducive,
depending on the. resort, compared
to
.
the plentiful amount received in
the winter of
1993-1994.

According to Orville A. Slutzkay
.
of Hunter Mountain Ski Bowl, de~
pending on natural snow for a gocid
season is no longer a wise alterna-
tive.
"Before machine-made snow,
there was, on the average, about 25-
30.ski days available, but with snow
making we could depend on about
168 days," said Slutzkay.
In the long run, big ski resorts or
lodges, like Hunter, which has three
mountains,
41
trails and
13
lifts,
ma'ke out just fine during times of
not-so-heavy snowfall.
"What we do is weigh the ex-
pense of being closed against the cost
of making snow, and staying open
is always more practical," said
Slutzkay. "When we close there is
no profit."
However, the snow making is not
a simple process, nor is it an inex-
pensive one, according to Ingrid
Emerton of Ski Windham. She said
that the weather does not always per-
mit them to make snow.
"There must be very cold tem-
peratures of below freezing, which
is below 32 degrees, and low hu-
midity," said Emerton.
In addition,
according
to
Emerton, sometimes snow making
could cost as much as $1000 an hour.

Ah, breathe in that fresh· air.
Nothing beats the aroma of a new year.
_
.
_
No\Y exhale, because we're only a month into 1995, and it's not shaping
up to be any different than the last year, even if we're halfway through the_
decade, five years from the 21st century.
Each new year begins with a great feeling of promise and change, reso:-
lutions and vows and handshakes and hugs.
But most of this is swept aside when people return to reality.
Marist students returned to the usual good news for the beginning of the
semester.
First, students were shocked to learn of the death of Timothy Kelly, who
died tragically in a fire the day after Christmas in his home in Farmington,
Conn.



.
You can add this to the growing listof tragedies piling up in the 1994-
95 academic year.

On to less significant concerns, many car owning students
in
the north
end of campus woke up on the first day of classes to find that Marist

Some students may be breaking their vow simply by reading The Circle.

this year.

Sorry baseball fans. Spring Training ain't looking so hot.

Apparently, the wrong people saw "Dumb and Dumber" over break.
SPC must be given some credit for getting Jeffrey Gaines to perform on
campus.

Students showed their true knowledge of music as only 15 people showed
up to see Letters to Cleo last semester, and this is a band with a fair amount
of MTV play.

But even creatively, the<>nly impact would
be on its national-programming furid, which
if cut, would still enable the programs to be

not trying to
hamper PBS from doing what it was created
to do. In fact it is only trying to build on that
ideal, by creating a more efficient, creative
force.
