Largest and brightest class enrolled
hyDavidNg
Co-.ditor
The freshmen class is the largest, most
geographically
diversified,
and
academically brightest in
Marist's
history, according to statistics compiled
by the Admissions Office.
Although the total count of matriculated
students at Marist has not been completed,
James Daly, director of admissions, said
applications rose
4-0 percent from last
year. Daly, Director of Admissions for
three years, adds that there has been a
change in the demographic figures and the
college board scores are higher than
previous classes and the national average.
This is the sixth consecutive year Marist
has _registered a record number
534
enrolling here, according. to statistics.
"It's good news for Marist,!' says Daly.
"If
you're investing time and int~rest, and
it would be bad news if we weren't in

go down," he said.
Admissions Cathy O'Neill.
Fewer Islanders
Daly said there are fewer freshmen
from Long Island, traditionally where
most students are recruited from, than in
previous
years.
The· number of students
from New Jersey has increased. He adds
there also have been increases of students
from the upstate area, Connecticut and
aborad.
There are approximately
70
freshmen
from Suffolk and Nassau counties, L.I., as
compared to the
125
in last-year's class,
according to Daly. .
-~ _
Applications from Connecticut rose
38
from last year's
60
to
98
and applications
from the northern counties
in
New Jersey,
Bergen, Essex and Union, ,N.J., have
"New Jersey is a new area that has
never been tapped," says Daly. It's
just
as
far to travel from New Jersey as West Islip
(in Long Island).
"There has · also been an increased
number of foreign students," said Daly.
_ Some ~tudents applied to Marist from
Rhodesia, Greece, Liberia, Canada,
Japan, Panama, and Brazil. Two
Norwegian soccer players from Oslo,
Norway were recruited by
Dr.
Howard
Goldman, the soccer coach.
According to the figures, the freshmen
averaged
450
to
600
on their mathematical
skills and
400
to
650
on their verbal skills on
the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The national
average, Daly said, is 468 for math and 428
for verbal.

Three
loW1ges in Leo Hall were changed
into dormitory rooms and
108
other
freshmen
are
being
housed
in
upperclassmen dormitories because of a
large enrollment of freshmen resident
students
this
semester.
-
. Kelly has · not received any negative
response from students staying
in
lounges.
One student requested not to be housed
with two other students last July and was
placed in another room. Modifications
were made in the lounges in order to house
the students. According to Kelly; a curtain
was put up the length of the patio window
and plywood was placed over the glass at
the lounge entrance.
·
Kelly said the rooms will revert back to
lounges after space becomes available in
other dorms. He said the only shortcoming
students had to deal with was the first floor
lounge, students have to contend with the
traffic of the elevators in o~ er to get to the
bathroom.
According to Kelly, housing was
originally going to assign four students in
the
Leo lounges but because of la& of
space it was impossible.
l
Kelly · said there are 40 freshmen in
Sheehan House, 66 in Champagnat and two
in Benoit House.
These students were selected to live in
upperclassmen dormitories because they
had previous college credits,. were
transfers, or because there was just no
space available anywhere else on campus
for them.
According to Kelly, the freshmen were
placed in a select area on each floor. Kelly
said there are freshmen on second floor
Champagnat west wing, seventh floor west
wing, and ninth floor east wing and more
freshmen are located on . third floor
Sheahan.
According to Kelly the six students
housed in Byrne Residence are there by
their own choice_ because they wanted to
live together.
''As
of now we don't need-the
boathouse," said. Kelly, "And I really
doubt we'll have to use it." ·
.
Kelly said the resident dormitories
including Byrne - Residence have the
capacity of holding 961 students.
"As
of the
moment we have
11
spaces available in the
dorms in female areas," said Kelly. "And
we have eight or nine returning
upperclassmen that still have to be
housed." ·
According to Kelly the same situation
occurred last year when guys had to be
placed· on girls wings because of lack of
space. He said they had no problems last
year, the guys caused no trouble and only
ope girl expressed dislike over the
situation.
According to Kelly the guys are placed
near stair wells on the girls wings in order
to get easy access to the bathrooms. He
said the freshmen
in
upperclassmen
dorms still must follow the freshmen dorm
regulations.
Staff shifts, quits, and hired
hyDavidNg
Co-editor
The appointment of a new president and
an acting Dean of Students lead the list of
25
staff changes in administration that
have taken place over the,summer.
Caused by resignations, promotions, and
the creation of new jobs, the changes
account for
a
29
percent shift for 84
administrative posts. ·
The more notable appointments are Dr.
Dennis Murray as the new president and
former Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald
Cox as the acting Dean of Students.
After a search for· a new president since
last April by the Board · of
Trustees,
Murray succeeds Dr. Linus Foy, president
of Marist for 21 years, and Cox replaces.
Antonio Perez who resigned July to be vice
president of Rhode Island Junior College.
Foy said he leaves office with no regrets
and added, "Sometimes a person becomes
synonymous with an institution. One of my
reasons for leaving here is to prove it isn't
so."
.
Perez; who was Deari of Students for
three y~rs said the move was a promotion
for him and -would . provide more
experience in college administration.
Now promoted to a Level I position, Cox

the
college.

Oneonta College, is· the new financial aid
counselor.
Joe
Nichols, a Marist freshman, from
Na:r.areth High School
in
Brooklyn, scored
a perfect 800 on mathematical skills.
Daly said approximately
25
percent ,of
the freshmen were reached by mailing
them publicity literature. The- names· of
the freshmen were obtained from the
college testing service at $.10 per name.
Estimating the cost of recruiting
freshmen, Daly said the admissions office
spends approximately $146.00 to recruit
one student as compared to
the
national
average
of
$400.00 per student.
According to Daly, 1,200 high schools in
the tri-state
area
were visited by three
interns and four full-time employees in
his
office.

Largest and brightest class enrolled
hyDavidNg
Co-.ditor
The freshmen class is the largest, most
geographically
diversified,
and
academically brightest in
Marist's
history, according to statistics compiled
by the Admissions Office.
Although the total count of matriculated
students at Marist has not been completed,
James Daly, director of admissions, said
applications rose
4-0 percent from last
year. Daly, Director of Admissions for
three years, adds that there has been a
change in the demographic figures and the
college board scores are higher than
previous classes and the national average.
This is the sixth consecutive year Marist
has _registered a record number
534
enrolling here, according. to statistics.
"It's good news for Marist,!' says Daly.
"If
you're investing time and int~rest, and
it would be bad news if we weren't in

Admissions Cathy O'Neill.
Fewer Islanders
Daly said there are fewer freshmen
from Long Island, traditionally where
most students are recruited from, than in
previous
years.
The· number of students
from New Jersey has increased. He adds
there also have been increases of students
from the upstate area, Connecticut and
aborad.
There are approximately
70
freshmen
from Suffolk and Nassau counties, L.I., as
compared to the
125
in last-year's class,
according to Daly. .

Applications from Connecticut rose
38
from last year's
60
to
98
and applications
from the northern counties

New Jersey,
Bergen, Essex and Union, ,N.J., have
"New Jersey is a new area that has
never been tapped," says Daly. It's
just
as
far to travel from New Jersey as West Islip
(in Long Island).
"There has · also been an increased
number of foreign students," said Daly.
_ Some ~tudents applied to Marist from
Rhodesia, Greece, Liberia, Canada,
Japan, Panama, and Brazil. Two
Norwegian soccer players from Oslo,
Norway were recruited by
Dr.
Howard
Goldman, the soccer coach.
According to the figures, the freshmen
averaged
450
to
600
on their mathematical
skills and
400
to
650
on their verbal skills on
the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The national
average, Daly said, is 468 for math and 428
for verbal.

Three
loW1ges in Leo Hall were changed
into dormitory rooms and
108
other
freshmen
are
being
housed
in
upperclassmen dormitories because of a
large enrollment of freshmen resident
students
this
semester.
-
. Kelly has · not received any negative
response from students staying
in
lounges.
One student requested not to be housed
with two other students last July and was
placed in another room. Modifications
were made in the lounges in order to house
the students. According to Kelly; a curtain
was put up the length of the patio window
and plywood was placed over the glass at
the lounge entrance.
·
Kelly said the rooms will revert back to
lounges after space becomes available in
other dorms. He said the only shortcoming
students had to deal with was the first floor
lounge, students have to contend with the
traffic of the elevators in o~ er to get to the
bathroom.
According to Kelly, housing was
originally going to assign four students in
the
Leo lounges but because of la& of
space it was impossible.
l
Kelly · said there are 40 freshmen in
Sheehan House, 66 in Champagnat and two
in Benoit House.
These students were selected to live in
upperclassmen dormitories because they
had previous college credits,. were
transfers, or because there was just no
space available anywhere else on campus
for them.
According to Kelly, the freshmen were
placed in a select area on each floor. Kelly
said there are freshmen on second floor
Champagnat west wing, seventh floor west
wing, and ninth floor east wing and more
freshmen are located on . third floor
Sheahan.
According to Kelly the six students
housed in Byrne Residence are there by
their own choice_ because they wanted to
live together.
''As
of now we don't need-the
boathouse," said. Kelly, "And I really
doubt we'll have to use it." ·
.
Kelly said the resident dormitories
including Byrne - Residence have the
capacity of holding 961 students.
"As
of the
moment we have
11
spaces available in the
dorms in female areas," said Kelly. "And
we have eight or nine returning
upperclassmen that still have to be
housed." ·
According to Kelly the same situation
occurred last year when guys had to be
placed· on girls wings because of lack of
space. He said they had no problems last
year, the guys caused no trouble and only
ope girl expressed dislike over the
situation.
According to Kelly the guys are placed
near stair wells on the girls wings in order
to get easy access to the bathrooms. He
said the freshmen
in
upperclassmen
dorms still must follow the freshmen dorm
regulations.
Staff shifts, quits, and hired
hyDavidNg
Co-editor
The appointment of a new president and
an acting Dean of Students lead the list of
25
staff changes in administration that
have taken place over the,summer.
Caused by resignations, promotions, and
the creation of new jobs, the changes
account for
a
29
percent shift for 84
administrative posts. ·
The more notable appointments are Dr.
Dennis Murray as the new president and
former Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald
Cox as the acting Dean of Students.
After a search for· a new president since
last April by the Board · of
Trustees,
Murray succeeds Dr. Linus Foy, president
of Marist for 21 years, and Cox replaces.
Antonio Perez who resigned July to be vice
president of Rhode Island Junior College.
Foy said he leaves office with no regrets
and added, "Sometimes a person becomes
synonymous with an institution. One of my
reasons for leaving here is to prove it isn't
so."
.
Perez; who was Deari of Students for
three y~rs said the move was a promotion
for him and -would . provide more

Joe
Nichols, a Marist freshman, from
Na:r.areth High School

Daly said approximately
25
percent ,of
the freshmen were reached by mailing
them publicity literature. The- names· of
the freshmen were obtained from the
college testing service at $.10 per name.
Estimating the cost of recruiting
freshmen, Daly said the admissions office
spends approximately $146.00 to recruit
one student as compared to
the
national
average
of
$400.00 per student.
According to Daly, 1,200 high schools in
the tri-state
