Retail Management was ap-
proved by Dr. H. DuPuy, deputy
commissioner
for
higher
education in New York, early
inJanuary,
according
to
Academic Dean Louis Zuc-
carello.
.
··
The BPS, Marist's first fine
arts major, provides a four year
degree for students in the two
year fashion design program
incorporated here last Sep-
tember. Zuccarello said,
"It
was
built on the Bennett base, but now
it's our program.". It also
provides a two year "capping
program" leading to a BPS for
students of fashion design or
retail management from com-
munity colleges, he said.
The new program offers the
. student a concentration in either
retail management or fashion
design.
Besides
the· core
requirements and electives
necessary .for all majors, the
program offers 36 credits of
professionally related courses.
Twenty-one of those credits are

The snowstorm started early
i1onday morning and when it
apered off Tuesday afternoon
he Poughkeepsie area and
.1arist College was covered with
9 inches of snow. It was the
argest snowfall in the area since
.969. High winds caused more
Jroblems by creating snowdrifts

The snow forced all schools,

and

Because
of
snowdrifts, roads in Dutchess
County were virtually im-
passable, according to police.
Monday afternoon and evening
classes were cancelled when the
snow began to fall heavily about
10:30 a.m. All Tuesday classes
were cancelled by Associate
Academic Gerard Cox Monday
night.
Cox said he madeJtls decisions
based on reports from the Marist
security
and
maintenance
-departments. He explained for
the school to reopen· the campus

Director of Security Joseph
Waters advised Cox that school
Tuesday would have been im-
possible. Waters said his reports
to Cox were based on weather
information he obtains from
various highway agencies in
Dutchess County.
Approximately
20
ad-
ministrators, faculty members,
and other college employees
stayed on campus rather than
face hazardous driving con-
ditions.

Because of the storm, main-

Freshman advisory program
receives mixed reaction
By Kathy Norton
After a semester of· trial, the
freshman advisory program has
met .with mixed reactions ..

started last
fall in an effort to help freshman
better adjust academically,
socially, and environmentally to
college life. Freshman were
divided into approximately 30
groups of about
15.
Each student
was to meet individually with
advisors and as a group a number
of times.
However, some freshman have
voiced dissatisfaction with the
program. Frank Spadora, a
commuter said,
··I
only received
a few letters. The program hasn't
done a thing
for
me." Steve
Porath, a resident, said his group
never met after their initial
meeting. He added,
"I
didn't get
anything out of it."
Other
freshman
blamed
themselves. Sue Berry, resident,
said her advisors were available
but _

just didn't utilize them."
According to Roberta Staples,
Marist Counseler and staff ad-
visor, an all commuter group

As of last semester, women
residents students in their senior
year maintained the highest
cumulative index at Marist
College, while male resident
freshmen earned the lowest,
according to statistics released
by the dean's office.
The figures show that Mari~t's
28 female seniors who . liv.e on
campus earned an average cum
index of
3.05
and that the 212 male
freshmen on campus averaged a
cum index of
1.96.
·· The statistics, . for full-time
students v.:orking for their
bachelor's degree, also showed
the senior class faired better than
other years, and women did
-
slightly better than men. Overall,
women earned a cum index of
2.60 and men 2.35.
· Associate Dean Gerard Cox
said...: 'The pattern has been that
women· who have remained in
college are more likely to be
highly motivated and thus earn a
higher index."
He also said the freshmen male
resident lciw cum could have been
caused by the large amount of
free time in their schedule. The
freshman class always has a
. problem dealing with the free
time they suddenly acquire since
high school, said Cox.
He said the amount of free time
in the schedule allows resident
students to procastinate and
socialize excessively which
causes lower grades .. "The
overall
emphasis
is
on
socialization, the fact that you
are living with a group of peers
the most natural thing to do is to
socialize and de-emphasise the
primacy purpose of why students
are here." However, commuters
and resident students have ap-
proximately the same cum, 2.50

a

But Cox added that the new
schedule to · be adopted next
semester, in itself, would not
result in higher grades. Students
. have to create an atmosphere in
which learning
is
assigned a
higher priority than socialization
he said.

SG
secretary named
By Beth Weaver
Liz McRae has been appointed
Student
Government
(SG)
secretary, replacing Dave Ng.,
who resigned last semester.
McRae said she was officially
ratified by the Policy Board on
Dec. 15.
McRae, a political science
major, has been on the Student
Academic Committee (SAC) and
Sheahan house council. She said
she is ••into talking to people on
what they want,'' (such as the
schedule issue and the new
housing agreement), and that
from being on SAC and house
council she has been getting
student feedback and feels she is
informed.
As
secretary, ~cRae's duties
include taking minutes at SG
meetings and publishing a SG
newsletter, which will come out
regularly
.
Her office hours are on
Friday from 2-4:30 p.m.
McRae said she's very excited
with her new position and with
working with the other officers.
"It's a really good chance to do
something concrete," she added.
Along with a new secretary, SG
still needs a vice
-
president.
There is no official VP, said
McRae. She added, the executive
board has considered people and
suggested one, who will go before
the policy board to be ratified.
New living arrangements
By Jenny Higgons
New living arrangements for
next year are being proposed by
Fred Lambert, assistant dean of
students. Lambert said his
proposal involves encouraging
groups with common interests to
live together on the same floor.
Lambert said, ··It would give
people a sense of identity and
camaraderie. The students take
pride in their individual rooms,
so if they had a floor or a portion
of one, they would care more for
it and take pride in it. Every floor
would have a specific purpose
.
"
He
said
he
has not
decided what
to do for students
-
who wanted to
live in rooms that were taken up
by groups or had no group to join
.
·
·There would probably be people
who would resist the proposal,"
he said, ··but they would have to
sacrifice their niches for
·
the
betterment of the whole system
so people could be productive and
care about their environment - a
place in which they had a vested
interest."
The proposal
will
be for-
mulated, typed and ready for
public view this week. The Inter-
House Council will
.
vote on the
proposal this month

Unknown comic wins
but show causes incident
By Ken Healy
On Tuesday night the stars came out down in the Ratskeller. But one
star shined more brightly than the rest in the second annual "Gong
Show", that of the Unknown Comic, played by Mike Ragusa.
Up until two and a half hours before the show Ragusa, along with
Kevin Roletter and John Boylan, were writing jokes for Peter Nun
-
ziata, who was going to be the Unk:lown Comic. "Kevin brought his
tape recorder for us to practice with", said Ragusa, "I taped a few of
the jokes and we played them back. Everybody thought I did them
pretty well and they talked me into doing it."
So, armed with an original script, some Jack Daniels, Ammeretta,
and a few beers, Ragusa donned his paper bag and took the spot light.
Master of Ceremonies Mike O'Meara introduced Ragusa as, The
prince of pun, the king of comedy, the wizard of whoopie, - the
Unknovm Comic!
After a rousing round of applause the Unknown Comic started his
monologue.
"
My wife got a mud pack the other day, she looked great
for three days until the mud came off. I always say the wrong things. I
· know this leper and when I saw him I asked "What's eating you'!" I
also know a girl with a wooden leg and when I see her I say "Hey
Peg!" I went to Med school for a while, I wanted to be a gynecologist
but I couldn
'
t get into it."
.
·
After a few minutes of alternating success and failure the Unknown
Comic sat down .to scores of 10, 10 and 9. He said later, "I panicked in
the beginning
,
205 people staring at you and you
'
re in front of them
with a paper bag on your head with two little holes to see out of, I'll
never do that again."
Ragusa was awarded $15 for the best act. The worst act was shared
by Jim Dasher, who gave his impressions of life at Marist, and Donald
Duck
.
The judges were John Vander Voort, Finnino Naitza and Crazy

audience arid finally the master·
of ceremonies cleared the stage
for the
next
act.
Later; a second incident oc-
cured. After the Gong Show
'
ended, a rat worker
,
PaulKeenan
argued with "MC" Mike O'Meara
about statements h,~ had made
during the show. Keenan blamed
O'Meara for misrepresenting an
act. The argument grew loud and
broke into a fistfight which was
quickly
stopped
by
other
students
.
One witness, Jerry Scholder,
blamed the disturbances on the
Rathskellar management. Pat
lntintoli, the student manager
who ran the
show, said,
··
Everyone was having a good
time until it got out of hand
.
It's a
shame this happened again, it'll
probably be a long time before
Marist has another Gong Show."

Computer time cut
By
Margaret Schubert
Since the spring of 1976 com-
puter terminals and usage time
have been increasingly less
available to Marist students.
Cornell Medical College, whom
Marist rents its computer lines
from, increased the rental fee
during prime time to discourage
student use, said Kevin Carolan,
director of computing and in-
stitutional research.
The cost for the port into the
computer is $400 per month
during prime time
,
$.100 per
month non-prime time. Prime
time is weekdays from 10 a.m. to
4
p
.
m
.
There is a monthly charge
for telephone equipment, the
terminals
,
and a charge for
Central Process Unit during
primt! time.
··we rent the computers 12
months a year, so to get as much
use of the computers as possible
,
prime time is set aside for ad-
ministrative use, and students
have assess to them all other
tiines." Carolan said
.
Introduction to computing is a
required course for math,
psychology, accounting and
business majors and it is
recommended for science and
communication arts majors.
Approximately 300 students per
year take the course. There are
27 declared computer math
majors.
The availability of computer
usage for students has gotten
worse, according to Michael
Goodfellow, senior math major
and monitor of the computer lab.
.. In the fall of 1976 there were five
terminals available to students 24
hours a day, fall '77 there were
four terminals and no student
prime time usage, and this
semseter there are only three
terminals available to students
during
non-prime
time,"
Goodfellow said. "Last semester
was a disaster. There wasn't
enough time for students to use
the terminals," he said.
Computer expenses have in-
creased since 1976, Carolan said.
The '76 computer budget was
$93,000 compared to $139,000 for
this year, he said.
A
source close to the pi:oblem
indicated the decision was made
without the students' needs in
mind. He went on to say "the
decision was made without the
students needs as the highest
priority." He also said "based on
students who have corresponded
with me, there are some who
need to use them during prime
time."
Edward
Waters,
vice
president
,
said, "if an individual
was
really
inconvenienced
because of a job situation we
would try to arrange an alternate
plan for him." Toa t has happened
in the past and it would be
Carolan's responsibility for the
planning, Waters said. Carolan
said
,
··it hasn't come up yet, and I
don't know how we would deal
with it."
Goodfellow said monitors were
told by Carolan to spend less time
than last semester tutoring
because it costs too much
.
Ac-
cording to Goodfellow monitors
had been making themselves
available whenever students
needed help. Now we won't be
available as much, he said.
Carolan said monitors will be
available 15 hours a week.

SG funds delayed
-
,
By Joe Ford
Student Government funds for
the spring semester to Marist
clubs and organizations will be
delayed, according to Student
Government Treasurer Frank
Biscardi.
Biscardi explained, that "the
business office can't tell us how
much in activity fees we can
expect to work with. As of right
now, some students still haven't
paid their activity fees and we're
not sure whether those students
will eventually pay up or whether
we'll never see that money."
Biscardi is chairman of the
financial
board,
which
is
responsible for all allocations of
student government
.
funds. He
said the six-member board "has
been discussing
,
only those
organizations which are in itn,
mediate need of money." These
clubs include intramurals, the
Circle, and the Marist College
Council on Theater Arts (MCC-
TA), according to Biscardi.
These activities are considered
most important and receive the
most money because they are
··service organizations''· which
reach campus wide, he said. The
other school organizations
will
have to wait said Biscardi,
because · the financial board
hasn't set down any figures yet."
Biscardi said Anthony Cam-
pilii, business manager, told him
·
results of activity fee payments
should be in by the week of Feb.
13. The treasurer said that "once
we've received the complete and
final figures, we'll know exactly
where we stand as far as
allocations for
the spring
semester are concerned."
Biscardi predicts the financial
board will have from between
$12,500 and $13,000 allocate for
the
spring
semester,
a p-
proximately the same as last
semester.
Marist College Radio (MWCR)
will not receive any
·
funds this
semester from SG. The radio club
was given its entire annual
allocation last· semester.
Sigma Phi Epsilon, the new
fraternity, has submitted a
budget for this semester.
during that time. Timmins said
one student was to appeal a case.
but charges against him were
dropped before he went before
the board.
The Student Judicial Board
hears all cases involving in-
terpretations of the constitution,
disciplinary matters and helps in
student elections.
Timmins said it is not really
fair to the students
for
him to be

does. and

The program appears stable.
"We're anticipating an incoming

students, and maybe 15 transfer
students." According to Zuc-
ca rello, Marist has all necessary
faculty and staff to support such
a program.
David Leigh, director of the
fashion design program, said, "I
think it's good because I believe

new program will be more

oriented than the old program.
He added, "It's a very flexible

Zuccarello said the BPS would
help to continue the development
of the arts area. "I think it
represents a good addition to
programs we have." He said
Marist is exploring a fine arts
major and that-it is "presently
being developed at the depart-

Hines, O'Keefe resign
By Judy Norman
Joseph Hines, Marist College's
special services director, and Dr.
Peter O'Keefe, director of the
office of continuing education at
Marist, are both resigning their
positions at the college.
Hines will leave Feb. 24 to work
for the International Business
Machines (IBM
l
as a counsellor
and O'Keefe who will leave in
June 1978, will be teaching
history at Marist.
Hines who was hired in 1976 has
provided
job
placement,
academic advice and personal
counselling services for disabled
students at Marist.
Hines said he recommended
Marist senior Rich Barbara as
his replacement. Hines said
Barbara, a counseJling intern in
the program for two - and - a -
half years, is a "very integral
part of the building proce?s with
innovative ideas such as the
Wheelchair Sports Invitational
initiated Oct. 1977."
Hines said he would like to
remain part of the Marist
community
"
in any way the
school would see fit in advisory
areas."
O
'
Keefe said he will teach three
courses at Marist which include
Ancient Philosophy, 19th Century
Europe and another undecided
course.
O'Keefe supervised Marist
summer programs, evening
division, weekend college
,
winter
intercession and mini-sessions.
He said he also assisted in the
development of new programs
such as the Mount Saint Mary
Cooperative Nursing Program
.
O'Keefe said he will still main-
tain control over the Bridge
Program and School - College
Program run in connection with
the Poughkeepsie, Roosevelt and
Our Lady of Lourdes high
schools.
Bouncing checks
By Mary Yuskevieh
Due to the large number of
checks that have been returned
by banks to Marist because of
insufficient funds or closed ac-
counts, a five dollar per check
penalty
will
be charged to the
student whose checks arc
returned to Marist as un-
collectible, according to Frank

bookstore. and two which were
used to pay tuition, said La Rose.
During the next month, the
problem of returned checks will
be monitored closely, and if the
number of returned checks does
not decrease, the Friday check
cashing service provided by the
business office will be suspended,
according to LaRose.
There have always been a few
checks that are returned to the
business office, according to La
Rose, but last November 50
checks were returned and when
school closed in December, 35
checks had
already
been
returned. Five checks have been
sent back by the bank since

La Rose said the process is
"

In addition to the penalty
charge, a student whose check is
returned by the bank as un-
collectable will lose his check
cashing privileges on campus for
the remainder of the semseter.

)>
By Fr. LaMorte
Local communities of believers are typically
not as healthy as they should be. All of us are
aware of problems and weaknesses in the areas
of prayer, faith, social action and witness. The
contemporary efforts of religion have focused
our attention on our problems and weaknesses in
the flesh and blood local situation, and we find
that, practically speaking, religious beliefs have
been commonly regarded for a· long time as an
individual affairs and an element of our lifes:
that takes care of itself. Communion among
peoples, among dorms, among various
philosopies of life cannot mean as much
.
as it
should if there is not real communion within the
individual - a strong unity that allows for a
healthy variety. Only then will gatherings of
peoples for whatever purposes have a chance of
coming alive.
Because the
situation
of
medieval
"Christendom" and ofmostofwhathas followed
it tended to identify church and Europe, church
and state, church as merely the pious face of
society and religious practice as merely the
support of weak persons, we have allowed
.
our
sense of prophetic mission to become shriveled
up and to be terribly diminished. Christians
suffer quite
generally a
moral
un-
derdevelopment with regard to issues of social
justice and peace and their political and
economic institutions, with regard to periodic
evaluation of personal values and their en-
fleshment. With regard to the scraps of jnitiation
we have kept, we have tended to stress con-
servation rather than transformation. But,
Christianity is a way of life and,
.
therefore, a
moral effort. To affirm God is to see all in-
stitutions and social patterns as creatures,
subject to
God's
judgement and
to
change ... subject to a higher power than oneself.
The human liberation and solidarity proclaimed
by Jesus are profoundly political as well as
private imperatives.
Easter, for the Christian, celebrates the faith
that death itself, like every other creature stands
under the judgement and is subject to the will of
God
.
It
is their key and fundamental
holiday ... the Sunday among Sundays. Lent came
into existence as the climax of a training period
for candidates for church membership. The ·
training period was a process of learning to live
in a Christian group, learning to share prayer,
faith, discipline and mission. At present, for
many Christians, Lent is a void that cries out for
these kinds of experiences.
Toe Christians of the early church moved and
drew so many people largely because of the
strength and
·
support they found in one another
and their sharing and encouraging the variety of
different gifts which they possessed. Their faith
made hard demands and so did their living
together ... in the reahn of prayer, of penitential
practice, and of concern for one another's needs
( especially for those in the community who had
no one to care for them) and, indeed, for the
needs of the larger hwnan family the church
exists to
.
serve. It should not surprise us to.learn
that these churches (communities) for all that
was asked of them, exerted a powerful action
over individuals who did not belong to them.
Outsiders became curious, tried to find out what
explained this unity of purpose, why they cared
for one another so evidently, why their prayer
gatherings exueded such a spirit of elation and
genuine feeling. The contemporary
·
unat-
tractiveness of church communities may be
related to our preoccupation with the cerebral,
the rational, the doctrinal. We need experiences
to match. Every aspect of cnurch renewal has
become aware of the relevance of an ex-
periential introduction to and reflection on our
Christian principles. Since for most of us infant
baptism is our common heritage ... the burden of
a conscious, mature, psycological incorporation
into a living faith community .. .falls on some kind
of adult experience. Once again the stress must
be placed on transformation ... and Lent offers us
that opportunity.

Socio-major
To the Editor,
The fact that Marist should
offer a Sociology major is an
undisputed one, except for the
·
illogical and unyielding positions
of several who thwart efforts to
instate Sociology-SOcial
Work as
a major.
In a survey last year, students
expressed a desire to switch their
major to Sociology in
the
event
that
.
a Sociology-SOcial Work
major were offered at Marist.
The
·proposal
for the Sociology
Jl18.jor for the Fall '78 semester is
pending approval by
·the
S.A.C.
and A.A.C. before it can be sent to
the State Board of Education for
the final decision. Several
teachers have pushed for the
.
Exec board
To the Editors:
.
The single
·
most important
development in campus politics
this semester shall not be the
election of a new executive
board. That event shall, after all,
only have the meaning granted
it
retrospectively next year. The
dominant theme this year shall,
one hopes, be the discussion and
possible adoption of a new
student goverillllent constitution.
This revision may be some

I
will
always be concerned with
the welfare of the Marist student
body but at this time elect not to
proposed Sociology major, but it
appears that it may not pass
because several other faculty
members are steadfastly against
it.
Marist is a unique school in that
a Sociology-SOcial Work major is
not offered. Most colleges offer it
-
as a major field of study. Marist
does not even offer a minor in this
field.

growing academically. This year
has seen the Fashion Design
curriculwn with the influx of
Bennet students and faculty. The
Art Department, before this year

works for Fall '78. It is only
natural that a Sociology major
would both benefit Marist and be

yet only the gleam in some

From whatever source, any
such effort should contain two
features of which all present

It
must give a positive function to
the executive board, which

should be able to act con-
structively for the student body

limited almost completely to the
zero-sum game of budgeting. In
do so as Chief Justice.
This resignation is to be ef-

academic growth.
We feel that Sociology-SOcial
Work should undoubtedly become
a major field of study by the Fall
semester of '78.
Since Marist College should
exist for the benefit of the
students' academic growth, it
would be unfair not to accept this
proposal since it would hinder the
academic growth of those
students interested in this area of
professional study.

Marist College's maintenance
department is operating with a
$1,500 deficit as a result of recent
snowstorms, according to An-
drew Pavelko, director of
maintenance.
As of Dec. 31, maintenance,
which was allotted $19,500 for
general expenses, had spent
$21,000, according to Pavelko. He
added
money
for
future
snowstorms would come from
other maintenance budgets.
However, he said "all (main-
tenance)
departments
are
running high" and could be near
deficit levels.
The general expense budget is,
along with a salaries budget, part
of the maintenance grounds
budget. As of Dec. 31, $44,714 of
an allotted $88,377 was spent for
salaries, said Pavelko.
He also said $2,900 in overtime
and equipment repairs was spent
during the snow storm of Jan. 19.
As of Wednesday, maintenance
was still clearing away snow
from Monday's storm, the worst
in the Mid-Hudson area since
1969. Pavelko said maintenance
still had to clean up the parking
lots, and added they "will con-
tinue to work overtime" until the
campus was completely cleared.
·
Pavelko said two pieces of
snow removal equipment, an
inloader and a payloader, were
rented to cart away the snow
from Monday's storm at a cost of
$35 per hour a piece.
As
of
Wednesday the payloader was
still in use. Marist's equipment,
which includes two pickup trucks
with plows, a Ford tractor and
pay loader, a jeep and dump truck
with an automatic sander, and
two small Bolens tractors, were
used to clear tlfe campus.
The entire grounds crew, which
includes seven workers and a
mechanic, worked all of Tuesday
clearing snow, according to
Pavelko. Pavelko did not know
how many maintenance people
were not able to report to work
Tuesday.

Students replace cooks
By Beth
Weaver
In the cafeteria, business went
on,
despite
the
severe
snowstorm, but not as usual. Al
Abramavich, dining services
manager, along with two
students, Kevin Roletter and
Kevin McCormick, cooked for the
more than 1700 students who
came to the cafeteria Tuesday.
Accor.ding to Joseph Lurenz,
director of dining services, there
were 100 more students at lunch
than usual and 75 more at dinner.
Lurenz said the increase was
because students "probably had
nowhere to go," and the cafeteria
was a
wann place.
Gus Heer, the cafeteria baker
showed up for work at 9:30 a.m.
Pete Rifenburg, stock room
worker, spent Monday night a,.
Marist and went to work on
Tuesday.
Dining services usually has a
crew of five workers to prepare
breakfast and lunch, according to
Ken Healy, student manager.
Only two made it to work on
Tuesday, he said.
According to Healy, five extra
student workers were hired to
take over for the full time em-
ployees who could not show up for
work.
Lurenz said deliveries were
expected which did not come

concern and has occupied much
of the maintenance crew's time
.
"
Gainer said his main concern in
the lounges has been the study
booths, which were repainted
over the Christmas vacation. He
would like to see new desk tops
installed in many of the study
booths, but knows this is ex-
pensive.
Gainer proposed the committee
to the Interhouse Council because
it would · ·tap the opinions of the
students as to what they would
prefer in their lounges." He
suggests artwork by students or
murals in the lounges for
·
·something creative, to
·
add a
personal touch." The committee
would bring ideas to the council,
which would review them as to
their
economic
feasibility.
Gainer
-
said he would like the
lounge's structured to make
optimum use of.the river view on
the top floors.
Gainer plans to install per-
manent furniture in the lounges,
and plans the installation of
bulletin boards on most floors
within a week. Most of the per-
manent furniture installed near
the end of last year did not last
through the summer.
Gainer. said that both he and
the Resident Coordinator, Vinny
Quinn, are trying to maintain the '
upkeep of lounge furniture. He
offers a plea to the students,
asking their cooperation in not
abusing or stealing lounge fur
-
niture.

Farrell placed second to Ron
Gadziala with a time of
4:49,
Charlie Powers placed fourth
with a time of 4:52, and Ed
Giltenan finished fifth in
4:59.
Chris Hogan rounded off the
scoring in the 60 yard dash by
placing fifth behind Leroy
Reynolds of Wagner.
Fieldmen Mike Dombrowski
and Chris Hogan supplied added
support
in
the shot put and high
jump. Hogan placed third in the
shot with a toss of

Dombrowski finished second in

a
row, shot
somewhat better, making 29 fo
57.
While Oneonta continued their
streak, the Red Foxes saw their
first two game streak come to an
end. The streak started on
Wednes~ay, Feb
.
1,
when Marist
beat Southampton in overtime
77-
75,
and hit its peak when Marist
downed York
52-43
in the opening
game of the Oneonta tour .
.
It was the Hed Foxes first away
victory of the season
,
and it had
Biil DeWinnie play his finest
game of the year, grabbing a
season high
17
rebounds and
adding 1:1 points, second to Mike
Sheldon's
14
.
Petro says that the team
,
led by
the leadership ability of Glynn
·
Berry, is starting to play good
team basketball. Berry returned
to action in January after
academic probation caused him
to miss the first half of the
season, and his play over the last
eight games has to
-
make you
wonder what would have hap-
pened had he been playing all
season
.
I<,or instance, in the game
against Southampton, Berry led
all scorers with 17 points,
followed by
_
Sheldon with 16 an<i
De
Winnie
with
15.
It was the only
time all season that three Marist
players finished with
15
or more
points. And as a team, it was the
Red Foxes best day from the
floor, as they hit on 29 of 53 shots
,
and only the third time to date
that they have shot over
50
percent.
··Berry has been the key to
team playing for us
,
" says Petro,
who earlier designated Berry co-
captain. But while Petro noted
that the addition of Berry has
been a plus factor
,
the coacli also
had praise for the recent play of
DeWinnie and Sheldon.
·
·Bill has been playing very
well.
and has
helped
·
us
tremendously with his reboun-
ding, and Mike has gotten more
confidence in himself. He's not
afraid
to
shoot
the
ball
anymore,·· said Petro.
Petro says, however, one
weakness still outstanding is that
the team needs "more con-
centration in key periods.,. And
hopefully for the Red Foxes, that
too, will fall into place, like
everything else seems to be
doing
.

Freshman hits the boards
By Regina Clarkin
Bill OeWinne has been
selected as athlete of the w~ek
for the week ending Feb.
8.

into overtime with an eight-
foot jump shot at the buzze~.
Marist later won the game,
7 ,-
75.
.
.
DeWinne, a business ma1or
says he was in
a
similar clutch
situation once
.
before, and the
team lost the game.
"
It
was
my second to last game in high
school and we were down by
two points.
I
got the ball and
I
thought someone was there t
_
o
pass to and no one was so 1t
went out of bounds.
I
guess
I
didn't take the shot because I
didn't want to take the
responsibility for
it."
A graduate of Ramapo High
School, Franklin La
_
kes, N.J.,
DeWinne says he wasn't
looking to play that much in
the beginning, but after center
Neil Lajeunesse quit he had to
start and he got used to it.
"
It's a lot more physical than
high school, but I think
anybody could m
_
ake the
adjustment.·•
A full scholarship winner,
De Winne
picked·
·
Marist
because of its location and he
thought he was getting a good
deal.
"I
never thought
l'q
get
monev to come here." He was
high ·rebounder in his high
school and made the second
all county team picked by a
Patterson newspaper.
··I
started
playing
basketball-when
I was in the
seventh grade.'' The
6'7"
center was only 5'10" when he
played basketball in his fresh-
man year of high school. .. I sat
on the bench most of the
time,
so I dido 't try out in my
sophomore year. Then
I
grew
that summer and
l
played
backup center in my junior
year
·
and I started in my
senior year.
I owe mostly
everything to my high school
coach."
DeWinne, who would like a
career with IBM in business
administration, says
his
hobbies are ping pong, cats
and swimming.

A bright future
Aquatic director Larry Van
Wagner is optimistic about the
future of the Marist Swim Club.
He has a right to be - with a
probable go-ahead to join
Division III of the
·
NCAA
Metropolitan Swimming Con-
ference, a new natatorium and a
recruitment program.
Van
Wagner. feels the interest and
quantity of the swimmers will
grow.
··1 will definitely try to recruit
swimmers." But Van Wagner
will have to get interested
swimmers to come here without
giving scholarships. "No doubt
the college won't give out
scholarships until the program
develops
to
the
expected
scholarship level, which it
. eventually
will."
When Van
Wagner says he will recruit
swimmers he doesn't mean
actively going around to schools
and talking. He can't do that,
time doesn't permit it. As aquatic
director and coach of various
AAU area teams and physical
education teacher for the college,
Van Wagner is busy. "Coaches
are known to never have a nine
hour a day job."
With the help of swimmer Ed
Sylvia, Van Wagner makes phone
calls and writes letters to
students with an interest
in
swimming who have applied to
Marist. That's about the extent of
his recruiting.
"I'm looking
·
for interested
people who are willing to learn;
people with excellent attitudes."
Van Wagner would be satisifed
with eight or ten new members.
"There is no doubt in my mind
that the facility will attract in-
terested athletes
.
We have the
best facility in our division." The
division which Marist will
compete in next year includes
such teams as Manhattan, Iona,
Adelphi, Long Island University,
Queens and Seton Hall.
Van Wagner said he's satisfied
with the showing Marist has done
so far this year
.
Marist placed
first in one of its three meets. A.
fourth meet is scheduled for
Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Mccann
Center Natatorium. The final
meet wm be Feb. 22 at Ramapo.
"Since we didn't have the
quantity we couldn't win some of
the close ones. We could've had a
one point meet
if
we could've
entered another re\ay event. A
relay event coul)ts for 28 points.
For example, the Hartwick team
we swam against had 25 mem-
bers, Marist had 9." With such a
small team, you can't enter that
many events, said the coach who
plans on conducting 10 weekly
practices next season.
"This year it was necessary for
me to find out where each person
fit
in the competition and work
with that. So we had a two hour
daily practice
.
"
The resident of Poughkeepsie,
who gi:ew µp in Hyde Park and
was on Roosevelt High School's
football, wrestling and crew
teams said he started swimming
a little late. "But I'm glad I did, I
swam for my last two years of'
high school on a YMCA team."
Van Wagner, who got married
on September 3, graduated from
Springfield College, Ma., where
he earned a bachelor's and a
master's degree in physical
education.
He swam free style for four
years at Springfield. "In terms of
swimming in this area, people
are naive in terms of the com-
petition,
·
but once outside the
area, you get realistic quickly
(about the competition). I never
natl the potential to make it to the
Olympics."
.
Prior to coming to Marist in.the
summer of 1976,
Van Wagner
worked as a coach in the Easton
Md. YMCA.
