Thanks·
Dear Fellow Students
,
. ,,.,
.
I would like to thank all the
students who showed support for
this
.
school and for students by
·
voting in the campus elections
;
The turn-out was good this year
and will hopefully be even better
next year; On behalf
·
or
the new
Council of Student Leaders, we
·
thank our predecessors for their
.
help. We also pledge our dedica-
.
tion to the students of Marist Col-
lege and to this school to help
make it a great place to be.
.
One thing we needed very much
is studerif input and involvement.
We ask many students to par-
ticipate in the Student Senate and
we ask all of you to atterid the
Student Government meetings. If
you
_
have a problem or an idea
let's work on it together and get
things done.
.
_
I personally would like to thank
all
those people who helped me in
my
election campaign. Many peo-
ple gave-up a lot to help me out
and without their personal sup-
port it would not have been possi-
ble; One of the greatest assets
·
of
Marist are it
'
s people. Friends are
the most important part of
life'
and at Marist you make the
greatest friends. Thank you very
much

"I'm a Queens boy," says Kevin Kelly, a
native from Flushing,. New York. "I like
the Mets and the Jets, and am opposed to a
New york boy who likes the Yankees."
Kelly· is a senior, majoring in business
administration. He hopes to get-a manage-
ment job with a big company upon gradua-
tion from Marist, because, "there is more
chance of advancement with a big com-
pany."
Kevin is one of a handful of seniors who
ha:s lived on campus for all four years of
his college career. He says he, ·"never.had
the desire to move off because it would be
too inconvenient without
a

on campus that Kelly has worked are;
bartender at mixers, and now in the pub,
· and also a student chef for four years.
· Kelly is also a member of the Marist
Marketing Club. The club is running a
-marketing campaign for Nabisco and is
currently·· involved in a competition with
eight other schools. The American Adver-
t!sing Federatio~ is running the competi-
t10n to be held in New York City, and a win
there. would send the· club to Houston,
Texas for the final judging.
.
Kelly says students have more power to
get- things: changed · on campus than they
think. "Our Freshman year we knew how
to get people. involved. There.
was
unity
among the students.· He cites when
1,000
students walked from the cafeteria. to the
president's office
to
protest the poor quali-
ty of food. Kelly also says that, ·"students
are wasting their activities money by not
participating in any events run by
C,u.B.
·
· . Reflecting on the funniest thing Kelly has
seen at Marist lie laughs and says "When
Birdman was hanging out the fourth floor
window. holding on to nothing but a belt."
. When we asked him what he was doing he
.said, "looking at.the sunrise." Kevin· also
_says another funny thing he saw was when
he was a freshman and a floor member ate
22
tacos, withexfra hot saucein one sitting.'
The best .thing to ever happen to Marist.
accoi:_ding to Kelly is the McCann Center.
"It's
a
place where students can go and
work out and. not. take•. their · frustrations
out in the dorms.'
·
Kevin has been involved in almost all in-
tramural sports at Marist: He has been a
member of the Ace Heads for four years.
During' that. time· he. has. won intramural
championships ·: in football; ,>_volleyball,
handball; and softball. His favorite cf-iam~'

"Let's go outside," said Sue Lawrence
as she flipped her. blazer over her shoulder
and headed for the outdoors. "It's too nice
to stay inside,» she added.
.
· Lawrence is a Comunications Arts
teacher here at Marist and teaches mostly
radio and television courses. -
· "I
have real positive feelings-about the
future here at · Marist. · Things · are really
looking up," says Lawrence:
Lawrence is a nativ,e of Independence,
Missouri though her articulation · would
hardly reveal this: She seems glad that her
· accent goes unnoticed and adds with a
chuckle, "not everyone. from the· mid west
talks like a hillbilly."
Lawrence. says she chose to teach at. a
school so far away from home because,· ''I .
wanted
to
try a newlocatiori and a·smaller
schooL Marist is in a process of change and
Ithink that now is a good time to be here."
(This is her first year. at Marist).
"Next yeai: we have plans of. having a
broadcasting club and lots of new equip-
. ment. .We're going to get a port-o-pac,''
Lawrence said as she leaned forward; ex-
.citedly in her seaC,"That way~things
wili
seem more realistic. We can make our own
documentaries and move around. We
won't be· confined to the studio all the
tim·e."
·_ ·
''We've got the students. Commu.nica-
tion Arts is the secorid largest major in the
school. We're.going to add more courses, --

A
Day in the Life of a President
. by
Michael McCarthy .
"First of all, there's no such thing as a
typical day for a college president," cited
President Dennis Murray, who then went
on to describe what a normal day would be
. like at Marist for its chief executive.
''6:30 or 7:00, when I wake, -is the time I
spend with my baby daughter. Then it's. off
to the office." Murray goes on to be quite
descriptive about his day. 8:30-9: 15 in-
volves correspondence with his secretary,
and then the work is on. Letters that must
be answered are: acknowledgement of IBM
gift to Marist, a letter to Judge Comerford
with regards to St. Patricks Day parade, a
letter. to Senator Rolison thanking him ·for
his help with commemorative Ma'rist Bros.
arrival in Poughkeepsie, a letter to the
trustees and faculty urging them to write to
legislators, a letter to the alumni who has
. not.received their deposit because of un-
paid bills, and fin;illy, -a. letter of recom-
mendation for a student.
At 9: 15 John Lahey, Executive Assistant
responsible for organization of the Presi-
dent's office,.arrived to review the coming
weeks everits.
.
A quick discussion with a Dean of
. Students candidate follows a review of
evetjts and appointments .of the week·br-
. ingsthe president to 10:00, and the cabinet
. meeting. ·. Level l Executives Dean Zuc-
carello, ·Business Officer Anthony Cam-
pilli; Vice-President Edward Waters, Dean
Cox\ _John Lahey, Tom Wade and. the
president's secretary meet to go over the
agenda. They reviewed enrollqient projects
for
'80-'81,
discussed the Mission state-
ment the college was going to make and the
strategic planning of it. The executives then
reviewed the budget and the possibilities of
funding_ the pep band and choir, Addi-
tional housing for students for next year
became the next topic for discussion, and
insurance benefits for the college closed out
the meeting. Tom Wade,· Director of
Development, stayed on till 11 :50 and
discussed his requests for additional
development funding with the president.
At 11 :50, the President prepared a
speech .he was to give next week, and then
met with another Dean of Students can-
didate till 1:15.
"A college president generally receives
50-75 pieces of mail a day," says Murray,
describing his activities till 2:00. He also
mentioned that about 25-30 of the letters
usually require some type of response.
They usually are invitations
to conferences
· which must be transferred to appropriate
peopl~ (other Level l Executives).
Linda Dickerson met with the president
at 2:00 to discuss five more NBC television
productions with the president until 3:00. ·
The President then met with Ron Zurawick
to· discuss the phoneathon project, and the
alumni annual fund drive. DeanZuccarello

left,
the first sign of
relaxation for the president appears. Rac-
quetball!
After showering, 5:45 till 6:30 are his of-
fice hours of the day for the students of
Public Policy class that evening. The class
topic was budgeting, and the title of the lec-
ture was, "Politics in Budget Process."
9:30 took the president home, where his
job still was not done. First, the reading of
the
N. Y. Times and the Poughkeepsie
Journal are taken care of, then possibly a
magazine or a profe~ional journal. The
president then reads the mail he received
during the day. Andy Meyn (crew-coach)
writes regarding a possible broadcast of the
President's Cup Regetta. A teacher's re-
quest to teach a course and correspondence
for the HEOP program follows. Some
memos regarding the revision n the colleges
Mission Statement and letter from the
Natural Science foundation regarding a
grant Marist received to apply the physical-
ly handicapped in Science are next up, and
finally a student's letter regarding a per-
sonal problem.
There you have
it,
a typical day with the
president. Tomorrow will be the same.
More meetings, letters, speeches, even
reporters. But one thing is certain, a
Presidents work is never done.
Student Reaction
to Tuition
ln_crease
by
John_
T.
Arnold
"It's a crunch," says junior Marty Smith
of Poughkeepsie. "I don't like it at all, but
that's just the way it is."
These words of reluctant resignation
were representative of students' feeHngs
regarding the recent tuition increase.
The tuition increase; from
$104
to
$116
per credit hour, was generally accepted by
students as justified considering the spiral-
ing inflation rate. That acceptance,
however, was tempered with scattered hints
of cynicism.
"I feel that the tuition increase is needed
with inflation and all, but they should also
improve the quality of courses because
we're not getting much out of them," com-
. mented junior Henry Strain.
"I think the students would like to know
why they were told so late," says Donna
Drumm, . a resident from Westchester.
While not questioning the validity of the in-
crease, she did express disappointment at
the situation's handling. "I would like to
have seen us dealt with more on ·an adult
level," says Drumm .
. A few students.found the increase a little

more difficult to accept. "I think there
should be more help from the school if
they're raising tuition," says
Mike
Wiese, a·
resident · from Rockaway,
N. Y.
"They
should increase the financial aid."
"Personally, I think the tuition is high
enough now," says Taylor Hooks, a com-
muter from Walden,
N.Y. "I think it's
bad, but what can you do about it?"
Lynbrook, Long Island native. Chris
Campbell, a resident student says simply,
"I'll need another job."
The increase came unexpectedly for most
students, but one in particular had almost
anticipated it.
"It
is quite a jump, but it
doesn't surprise me at all," remarked
senior Liz Diggelmann. "All colleges are
raising their tuition."· When asked if she
thought the
$12
hike was justified she said,
"Oh, definitely. I'm surprised it wasn't
more."·
For
most, the increase is a notion of fur-
ther economic adversity, but for some there
is at least a small measure of consolation
concerning the situation. Says Bill Demick,
in a tone of true sincerity, "I'm a seriior.
I'm just glad I won't be here next year to
pay it."
Thank
you
for
your
patronage
and we
hope
to
see
you again

Money and Marist
Phona-thon-80
by Timothy Breuer
The annual phone-a-thon to raise money
for the school has raised close to $45,000 so
far
this
year says Jim Dasher, assistant
alumni director. Dasher says he hopes to
beat last years total of $54,000.
Dasher explained that the money that is
raised is used to help keep the operating
costs down. "Without this money, tuition
would go
·
up that much more," says
Dasher. He added that; "we aren't looking
to push parents, or anyone, to give money
they don't have, but we are appreciative of
those parents who are able and willing to
donate."
In order to get students interested in the
phone-a-thon, Dasher said that a
contest
was held for student groups who could
raise the most money. The women's crew
team wori the $150 first prize.
,
Dasher added that while most of the
parents are willing to contribute anywhere
from five to 100 dollars there are a few who
are "happy to give over $1000 when we
call."

The phone-a-thon,

Zurawick, was more

that one of the reasons

Harriers: Team of the Year
Jim DeLaunay

.
By
Chris Egan
·
The Marist College cross country team,
buoyed by strong performances from ex-
perienced
.
upperclassmen and talented
freshmen, had perhaps its finest season
ever and has been named "Team of the
Year" by the Circle.
·
The Running Red Foxes, under the
leadership of coach Rich Stevens, posted a
season record of
14-6-1. capped off by a se-
cond place finish in the New York State
collegiate cross country championships.
In addition, they barely missed qualify-
ing for the NCAA Diyision II national
championships in
.
~alifornia, although one
runner; Ron Gadziala, did qualify for the
prestigious race of the top Division II cross
country runners in the nation.
Back in September, when the runners
were involved in fall training,
.
Stevens
·
warned people not to expect the same
tremendous regular season record as last
year when they had a
14-3 mark for an .824
.
percentage. Because the schedule had been
made tougher,
·
Stevens said their record
could fall to as low as .500, and the real
purpose of the regular season. was to gain
experience against top competition and still
peak for the more important races at the
e·nd of the year. "You can have a record of
·
16-0
against lesser schools, get
cocky,
and
get killed in important meets, he said.
Sure enough the team started slowly.
With six freshmen ranked in the top ten
ruriners,
Marist opened against
a
powerhouse Providence College team and
_an excellent squad from the University of
Connecticut. Marist came out of the meet
with a
1-2
record, but Stevens saw the
potential in the teain. He knew the runners'
times were
·
bound to get faster and the
depth of t~e team would pay off in the long
·
rl!n.
.
.
•
..
·
.
Marist topped the
.500
mark
in
the
•,
_
.
fourth meet of the year, a home
·
race in
which Paul Welsh set a scho
.
ol record for
•
·
the Marist
·
course
(25:46.1) iri finishing
:first.
Gadiiala finished
third,
Jim
DeLaunay fifth, Jerry Scholder
·
sixth, and
Mark Wickham tenth rounded out the
Marist scoring. That race put the team's
record at 5-4 and it never looked back after
that point.
·
In invitational meets the harriers fared
very well. They finished second in the SMU
Invitational behind the host team, arid won
the Mansfield State Invitational easily as
Gadziala, DeLau
·
nay and Welsh swept the
top three places and five other runners
finished in the top twenty. In the Marist In-
vitational the
"B"
team ran in the varsity
race and finished fourth because the
"A"
team was in Philadelphia where it would
run in the most important race of the year:
the Northeast Regional Qualifying meet.
The
·
ream went into the meet ranked
ninth in that week's NCAA northeast poll
and came out of it as the ifth best in the
region. Receiving a fine race from Gadziala
who finished eight overall, the team
managed a fifth place finish and missed
qualifying for the national championships
by a small
17 point margin. Stevens said
"its too bad that more teams don't qualify.
In the Division Illregionals, five teams are
picked from New York state alone. Here it
was four teams from the whole northeast."
However, by virtue of his eight place -
finish, Gadziala qualified for the national
.
championship held in Riverside, California
·
three weeks later
..
His time of
32:44.4 \vas
only
35.4 seconds slower than the
winning
time,
The next week Marist raced in the very
·
tough University division of the Inter-
collegiate American Amateur Athletic
Association (IC4A) and finished eleventh
in t
_
he final standings. Gadziala again was
the team's top finisher as he ran another·
good race and finished eighth.
The final me·et,of the year was the New
York State cross country championships in
which Marist finished a strong
second,
los-
ing only to tough Fredonia State. Gadziala
finished third overall, Scholder finished
tw~lfth, and DeLaunay finished fourteenth
to
.
pace the Marist effort.

Had his time

been

finished in the top

·
AII-Ainerican.
.
.
Cross country coach Rich Stevens,· who
called it "a fine run,,,_ said Gadziala n;iight
have been somewhat hurt by the layout
.
of
the course in California. "The course was
not really
.
Ron's type because it was pretty
:-
nat and he likes the hills." Gadziala agreed
.
with his coach: "Hills are mcire to my ad-
.·
vantage because I'm more of
an endurance
runner. This was more of
a
speed runner's
course.
·
·
Part of the reason for Gadziala's en-
.durance
was hif progress
in
a
weight train-
.
fog program set
-
up by Stevens.
It
was
"helpful for cutting down on sickness and
building up strength" he said after his run
in the Northeast Regional. "I had a slow

Ron Gadziala
Paul Welsh
·the
-
Year
Marist to a second place finish against the
top teams in New York State.
·
Gadziala has been racing cross country
since he was in high
·
school, which included
"All County'~
-
selections
in
his junior and
senior years. He wasn't heavily recruited
by Stevens, and his decision to attend
Maris! was based partly on the fact that
Jerry Scholder, whom he knew from high
school, had decided to run for Marist the
year previously.
For·the sake of the Marist cross country
team, which can look forward to one more
year with Gadziala, ir was a good choice.
Smith, a freshman forward for the men's
basketball team, broke onto the scene in a
tremendous fashion by leading the team in
scoring and setting a Marist freshman scor-
ing record for a season, eclipsing the mark
set just last year by Todd Hasler.
Smith, from White Plains, New York,
·collected many honors for his rookie per-
formance, most notably being named
Rookie of the Year by the East Coast
Athletic Conference (ECAC), and beinu
named
to
the
Eastern
Basketball
Magazine's freshman all-star team.
He also was named Big Apple Con-
ference Player of the Week and was picked
for the ECAC honor roll four limes durinc
the season
.
-
Once Smith learned that he could
assen
himself on a collegiate basketball court he
began to pile on the points. "I've always
had the confidence that I've neejled. I guess
I've learned that
I
cari really play college
ball," he said.
"I.don't
think
it
was a
mat-
ter of confidence but just getting to know
my way around."
He managed
to
find his
·way
around,
especially against Division I schools that
Marist has added to the schedule. In a
game versus Fordham University Smith
scored
33 points, and he totaled 32 against
.an
outstanding Boston University
squad.
He also scored
31
points against Sacred
Heart, 22 against Pratt, and 21 in a game
with.Dowling. Overall Smith shot a.good
560Jo
from the floor and
750Jo
from the fot1l
line for an
I 8.7
points per game average . .
In a losing seasQn
/
a season .which was
·
one of traf)Sition for the Red Foxes as they
prepared to make the jump to Division I, a
ray of hope
-
shined in the form of Sieve
Smith, ,vho coach Ron Petro called
"the
best freshman ever'-'
.
for.the Marist basket-
ball team

Marist:

A
h]storical perspective
by Karen Flaherty
"Out of a long list of unfamiliar names,
I heard my assignment, called Siberia,"
wrote Marist Brother Kevin Thomas in
1908
to the order's headquarters in France.
"Siberia" was the name of a new project
where Marist Brothers were clearing eight
acres of forest for a hay field. This project
was undertaken at St. Ann's Hermitage,
now a large portion of the Marist College
Campus.
·
According to Adrian Perrault, historian
at the College, Brother Zephriny, vice-
provincial superior of the Marist Brother's
North American province, searcl!ed New
England, Long Island, Westchester County
and New Jersey for a possible site for a
"house of studies" in the United States.

By Rory Fe~guson

'Everything we ever

back on his years at Marist

College.
:
Brothe_r Donnelly has been at Marist since
1952-and was the

school architect until his
retirement, four years ago. He is still-wor

"When

I

firsLcame here I didn't know I
wou,Id be building,» says Donnelly. "I was
brought here asa professor in Physics and
my studen

In the
·
aftl!rnoons; tlley would
_
dig ditches
and pour concrete - we weren'.t getting
much physics done ...
.
So they put me on
full-time as the architect."
The Seat of Wisdom chapel was the first
building Brother Donnelly constructed at
Marist. It was completed in 1953. Back
then everything was much different. The
brothers ran a farm, and even kept a honey
house, with bees. "We grew all our own
fruit and. vegetables, so we needed the bees
for pollination. Grapes were one of our
first crops, because the French brothers
were the first ones over, and they couldn't
live without their wine," remembers Don-
nelly.
The brothers' community was self-
sufficient in the early fifties. They rose ear-
ly and spent their days in studies, prayer,
and working on the property. "Sometimes
the students spent time finding stones and
having_ them crushed at the stonecrusher,
which was between where Leo and Cham-
pagnat Halls are located now.
·
Then the
stones were used to make the campus
roads
.
The first paved road was in front of
the chapel out to the main entrance."
·
I
Hard work and long hours didn't seem
to bother the members of the Marist com-
munity. Brother Donnelly remembers feel~
ing happy here, even without the modern
ccinveniences. "We had no trucks back
then, so when the winter came and it snow-
ed, we would fix two big planks in a
V
and
hitch them up to two horses to clear the
walkways."
The Marist brothers raised almost all
their own meat, too. "We had about a 1000
chickens, 20 cows and 20 or 30 pigs. We
raised them and slaughtered them ourselves
and kept a smoking shed for making
bacon," says Donnelly: "I remember get-
ting called in the middle of the night to
supervise a calving. I had just started at
Marist >and didn't know what to do, but
they told me
·
it
was
part of my
duties." Even the college's water was
supplied through the brothers' efforts.
"There was a brook running through cam-
pus,
·
so a dam was built, with a water
wheel. The brothers dug down through the
rock to an artesian
·
well and, with the
power from the water wheel, the water was
drawn up into a tank for the use of the
community," says Donnelly.
"So many things come back," muses
Brother Donnelly, as he leans' back and
starts to reminisce. "On Saturday morn-
ings we had an hour to
·
darn our socks. No
one darns
·
socks anymore.
All
our laundry
was done in one batch, so we all had name
tags on everything. One of my duties was to
bring all the shoes to the cobbler for resol-
ing. It was very primitive."
"I remember the desserts we had,' says
Brother Donnelly, his ·eyes lighting up.
"They were wonderful. The apple farmers
in the area would make a deal with the col-
lege. If they could use the bees for pollina-
tion, we could gather all the fallen apples.
We had so many apples! We stored them in
a kind of cave by where the maintenance
depar1men1
is
now and we had apple pies
all year long. Sometimes after dinner we
w<Juld all peel apples and make a big batch
of apple cider. Those were happy times.
Everybody helped."
Even though he has spent many years
and completed many buildings at Marjst,
Brother Donnelly remembers his first
building experience. "When I was 17, I
built a log cabin for changing skates by a
lake. There were no nails - it was all fitted
together. The roof was made from
smaller
trees and the cracks were filled with moss
.
"
At Maris!, after the chapel came the
library, which was first a dining hall and
study, then Fontaine, and then Adrian Hall
was built as an Administration building
10
bring outside students in. Construction has
continued through the years - Donnelly
Hall, the dormitories, Mccann and now
the riverfront are being worked on, as well
as the new entrance.
When Champagnat Hall was being com-
pleted, it was found that to build the pen-
thouse on top would cost only $10,000. So
the plans were done, and
·
the penthouse was
occupied in 1965 by Brother Donnelly. He
says, "It was first to be a residence for
visitors, lecturers, etc. I was surprised and
pleased when they offered it to me. I love it
up there - the view is wonderful!"

History cont.
GREGORY HOUSE-
Gregory House and Benoit House were
built simultaneously in 1968 and are iden-
tical in construction. Gregory House was
named in memory of Brother Joseph
Gregory Marchessault who was chairman
of the Physics Department at Marist at the
time of his death in 1969 at age 39.
GREYSTONE-
The
·
oldest structure on campus,
Greystone dates back to 1858 when it was
erected as a carriage house. Originally a
hayloft occupied the
·
top floor, carriages
and ho~ses the middle floor, and a
blacksmith shop the bottom level. Through
remodelling in 1909, 1928 and 1964 the
building has served as a dormitory,
classrooms, science laboratories and
library. Since 1964 the office of ihe college
president has occupied the top floor, and
the admissions office and the academic
dean the bottom levels. The
'
name
Greystone was bestowed on the building in
1928 when the juniorcollege was establish-
ed.
GYMNASIUM/ AUDITORIUM-
When the College
received
its charter as
a four year liberal arts
college
in 1946 the
Brothers embarked on a building plan-. The
first building to be constructed by the
Brothers was the gymnasium/auditorium.
Since
.
the constr
_
uction of the James
J.
Mc-
Cann Recreatio
·
n Center
in
1977, the gym'
has temporarily been
.
turned over to the
maintenance department for workshops
and storage. The western wing in the rear
of the gyll) houses the psychology depart-
ment
-
Child Care Center. Architectural
plans and funding feasibility studies have
been developed to convert the building into
a communications and fine arts center.
LEO HALL-
·
This dormitory, fonded with a federal
.
government loan, was opened in 1963. Cur~
.
rently used as a freshmeri dormitory hous-
.-
ing 300 students, it is dedicated
to
the
MCCANN RECREATION CENTER-
The James J. Mccann Recreation Center
was constructed in 1976-77 as a multipur-
pose physical education and recreational
center. Built on an acre of land, the center

minton, handball and raquetball courts,
and a fieldhouse with a seating capacity of
3,500. Also in the center is a natatorium
with a diving well, and an indoor rowing
tank, weight room, combatives room,
dance studio, sauna, classroom, and a
,,
media room for radio and television broad-
·
'
:
casting from the building,
·
among mariy
'.'
other physical education facilities. Con-
struction costs were approximately
.
three
million dollars, supported
.
primarly.
through gifts from
.
alumni, _faculty and
.
friends of the
.
College. The Mccann Foun-
datioi:i of Poughkeepsie provided the im-
.
petus for the construction with a grant of
$1,350,000. The buildin·g is named in
memory of Mr. James J. McCann, a well
known Poughkeepsie philanthropist whose
fortune ,vas used to establish the McCann
Foundation.

Sigma Phi Epsflon:
A new~tradition
By!OANIE MAYONE
Two flags wave in the sky on the far right
of the Marist Campus. One of these is the
Am,erican flag;; th'e other, contains three
Greek letters on
it.
Below these flags is the
. resident house, Benoit; the home of the
Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity.
The general feeling on campus about the
fraternity is; "Oh,
those guys." Most peo-
ple thinkJhis group· of men is different.
"Befog.~
2
Sig-Ep is something_special and
many people don't know that;" stated Jim
Corbett, the fr_aternity president. ·
The fraternity originated at Marist
several years ago.
It
first began at the turn
ofthe century and, "is the same now as it
was then," says
.
Corbett.-At Marist, the
fraternity first_.started as a colony when a
representative of the national · fraternity
house was on campus. "Once
a
tradition
was begun, and an understanding of the
. values -of our fraternity was . received, it
· came.down to working together for a _com-
mon goal,".explains Corbett. Lastspring,
the colony grew to chapter-status.
.
The reasops for joining Sigma Phi Ep-
,silori can be su_mmed up as a positive
answer,
to need. Alf the members were all
lookintJo(something 'more io make their .

freshman, my roommate flunked out after
one semester and I was looking for
something special out of college. I just
didn't want to join some dumb· club that
would take up time. I wanted to belong to
something important and that's when I
chose Sigma Phi Epsilon," stated Corbett.
The pledges explained their chosing of the
fraternity as "the . most magnetic aspect
about Sigma Phi Epsilon is Brotherhood."
During the summer,
the
brothers
get
together and begin "rush." ·"Rush is get-
ting out and telling as many as possible, as
much as possible," said Corbett, "Since
many misconceptions about fraternities in
general exist, .we must take extra time to·
promote ourselves and destroy _ . those
damaging reputations."
.
.
The.pledging for Sigma Phi Epsilon lasts
between six to eight weeks. During this
time, the pledges learn the history of the
national organization and the history of the
chapter at Marist. Each pledge is assigned a
big brother-wffh whom he does everything,
including learning the ideals of the fraterni-
ty. "At the end of this period, there is a
serious,. religious-like, ritual ceremony-that
reveals the secrets and principles we believe
in," explains Corbett, "There are no
ridiculous i:iromises made and none are ex-
pected. The ceremony simply gives each
man a responsibility to himself to be the
best person he can be."
Pledging to the Fraternity is not isolated
to only resident students. There ·are five
commuter members, and two commuter
pledges. A commuter member, Michael
-Mccourt, credits the Fraternity as "the
reason for me staying at this school." A
commuter pledge sees us all as having "a
goal in life which is friendship. Through
this friendship we strive to attain the better-
ment of "self" to the fullest."
In order to better themselves, the
brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon feel,-"we
help ourselve~ when we help others social-
ly, academically, and in the community."
The brothers have been involved in several
functions and activities in the community
including a "Phone-a-thon" and "Blood
Drive." Thursdays, for the Sigma Phi Ep-
silon fraternity, has been designated
"Dress-up Day." They must wear shirts
and ties or their T-shirts with the Greek let-
ters on
it,
and their badges. "This helps us
alot," explains McCourt, "some guys just
won't dress-up otherwise, and more impor-
tantly, it gets us "exposure," we become
more visible on campus."

definitely get off

the list of these goals. The fraternity offers
to its members "an academic committee
with a hard-working chairman setting up
study sessions, checking class schedules,
special tutoring, with scholarships and
academic awards from our national
organization," says Corbett.
On a personality basis, they also strive to
help each other. "All the· guys live
together, eat together, work together and
these basic responsibilities produce the best
people we can be," says Corbett.
"Togetherness" and "unity" are impor-

NBC: An
intern(al)

view
ducer for WNBC-TV), received a letter
from Mr. Silverman congratulating David
for his Emmy Award for th~ program
Buyline: Betty Furness.
But, the letter ar-
rived unsigned and David asked me to go
get Mr. Silverman's signature.
After I finally figured out how to get to
the heavily-secured office
,
I met the recep-
tionist behind beautiful glass doors.
"May I help you?" she asked.
"Yes. I need to get .this leuer signed by
Mr. Silverman,'' I said, trying to appear
very important in my new three-piece suit.
"Well, maybe you'd like to see one of his

By David Shaw
Ever since I started working at NBC, I
always wanted to meet Fred Silverman to
give him some tips on how to bring our
third
-
ranked network up to Number One.
One day I had my chance.
.
My boss, David Ochoa (Executive Pro-
One of his secretaries?
.
Not only could I
·
not
see Mr. SHvermen, but l had-to pick
out which one of his secretaries I wanted to
see. Af
t
er reading
.
the memo· on David's
note, I said, "Yes
;
I'd like to
.
see Ann-
Marie."
So the receptionist made
a
phone call,
then answered. "She's tied up. But you can
leav
e
the letter here and she'll pick it up
later."
So much for my meeting Fred Silverman.
For interest, through
.
my internship I
have met a few TV personalities. Pia Lind-
strom interviewed me on Newscenter 4.
.
Chuck Scarborough nearly tripped over my
big feet in the studio and I nearly tripped
over Gene Shalit stepping out of an
elevator when he bent down for a coin on
the floor. I've met Betty Furness, J~ck Caf-
ferty, Frank Field,- Marv Albert, Sue Sim-
mons and Melba Tolliver .
.
I've seen Rip
Taylor and
.
watched
.
Burt
.
Reynolds, Ann
Murray and
B-52
rehearse for
Saturday
Night Live,
along with others.
This internship has done a lot more for
me than let me see celebrities "close up." It
has given me ·television experience that
J
cannot possibly have goUen
'
in the
classroom. I've learned how WNBC's sta-
tion
.
really works; how employees are
treated, I've learned a lot aboutprogramm-
ing, about management, about business,
and probably most importantly about how
to deal W!th people
.
I really have to thank
David Ochoa for that.
Ever since I met David at my interview
for the internship, he has
·
treated me as a
colleague and as a friend. I have been very
fortunate to have h
i
m as a boss. Besides be
-
·
ing assistant to the executive producer, I
have also been assisting Chuck Larsen,
Program Director for WNBC-TV. Chuck's
finest quality, besides his respectfulness, is
that he is a perfectionist, His profes-
sionalism has helped
.
me tremendously in
my experiences .
I have to admit that I have been very ror-
tunate in being selected as the
·
first Marist
·
intern at WNBC-TV. Because of Dennis
Murray, Bob Norman and especially David ,
Ochoa,
,
my television experience
·
has ·
broadened 10000/o.
·
·
·
NBC isn't third in my ratings~ It's
Number One .
