Marist's budget will be over $9
million next year, said Campilii.
Three percent, about $300,000,
will be subsidized by state and
federal governments. Marist
receives $100,000 from gifts, and
another
'
$100,000
from
miscellaneous income
.
Last year, Marist had a
$240,000 deficit. It is to be paid at
the rate of $60,000 over four
years. Marist may go into deficit
again this year, according to
Waters and Campilii. In order to
save money, plans for the

According
·
to Waters, the
amount has not been determined
yet. He said, "We can't say now,
we're in the process of doing the
projections for next year's
budget
...
We hope to have the
final decision by the end ot the
school year." Waters said that
anything that could be done to
offset costs would be done.
Reasons cited by
·
Campilii and
Waters for the tuition increase
were the escalating costs of heat.
Waters said Ma1i"st was "very
much" afraid of pricing itself out
of the market. He said Marist
compares itself to
··
ten other
colleges. Siena and
·
Iona colleges
have already raised their tuition.
Waters said if Marist wasn't
careful, Fordham, Manhattan,
and Pace colleges coulµ draw
Marist students away.

be dropped.
·
-
Waters is trying
-
to put together
a seven year plan to
·
guide the
schools finances. ·•We can't keep
running the deficit up. Marist
would have to shut its doors, like
Bennett. The school has to be run
in a tough business-like way."

Grade· inflation hitting Mar-ist?
By
Kathy Norton
The number of Marist students
graduating with honors increased
22 percent between 1968 and 1977,
which, according to Academic
Dean Louis Zuccarello, follows a
national trend of "grade in-
flation."
·
"Grade inflation" is a tendency
for grades to increase over a
period of time while .the criteria
for grading and students'
-
ability
remains the same.
A student must maintain a 3.8
cumulative index to graduate
summa cum laude, a 3.5 index to
graduate magna cum laude, and
a 3.0 index to graduate cum
laude.
According to Zuccarello the
national trend started in the late
1960's, became worse in the early
1970's, and is now being curbed.
In 1971 the percent· of Marist
students graduating with honors
began to rise and reached a peak
in 1975 with 45 percent of the
senior class graduating wi~h
honors. He said reasons for this
trend were a wider variety of
students, major changes in
academic structures, a))owing-
students a freer choice in cour-
ses, and new evaluative devices
like the intern programs, which
allow students to show- com-
petence in other ways besides
a
written exam.
Zuccarello said the trend is
being curbed by more academic
structure. The core curriculum is
an example, according to Zuc-
carello.
A
sub-committee has surveyed
the grading practices of Marist's
faculty to determine \_Vhether
they are consistent with stan-
dards recommended by the
1
Marist catalogue. Chairman
Gerard Cox says the survey is
only a tool in analyzing "grade
inflation," and that results will
not be disclosed until a student
survey- can be made.
·
When Dean Cox was questioned
earlier he said that the sub-'
committee had not met to discuss
the results of the survey.
,
However, Dr. Edward Donahue,
·
a member of the sub-committee,
told a class in the beginning of the
fall semester that seven areas of

Remodeling Marist's radio
station has not cost WMCR
anything so far, according to
Vinny Capozzi, general manager,
but he added, "we have not
acquired everything yet." The
remodeling is being done "to
meet the needs of the radio
station," said Alan Hunter, chief
engineer.
Capozzi said wood for last
semester's remodeling was
donated by maintenance and
other places, a piece at a time,
and the work was done as the
wood came in. He said the new
station will have a professional

Capozzi also said,
"Since
we
had to take out the old console
and its backup systems, we
figured we might as well take out
the counter and the walls and
give it a professional two-studio
approach." Capozzi said WMCR
would like to get a drop ceiling in
the studio. The ceiling there now
is too high for broadcasting, for
technical reasons.
Hunter said the remodeled
station will give the disc jockeys
a better atmosphere to work in.
They will be broadcasting for the

WMCR
ripped off
By Beth Weaver
WMCR, Marist College Radio,
must postpone their projected on-
the-air date, (Monday, Feb. 13)
because equipment was stolen,
said Vinny Capozzi, general
manager.
Capozzi said a reel-to-reel tape
deck, valued at between
$300
and
$400
was noticed missing Wed-
nesday, Feb. 8. He said the Town
of Poughkeepsie Police were
notified, and a formal complaint
was filed on Feb. 9.
Capozzi said, "I am definitely
going to take drastic action
if
myself
or
the
Town
of
Poughkeepsie police ever find out
who did it."
During the Christmas break,
someone
"walked
off with" one of
WMCR's
cassette
players,
Capozzi said. This semester the
shells, cartridges and needles
from the turntables were stolen.
He added the value of these
"depending on the quality" is
$15
to
$30
each.
WMCR could be on the air now
if the equipment had not been
stolen, and they will not
be
able to
go on the air until the equipment
.is returned or replaced.

Contingency
-fund
short
By Maria Troano
This year's $50,000 contingency
fund
which
is
used for
eme;gency
purposes,
is
inadeQuate for Marist's
$9
million
general budget, according to
Business Manager Anthony
Campilii.
·
.
··I personally t~nk
_it
should
_
~~
higher than that, said Campilu,
but added that it was all there
was to work with because of last
year's
$250,000
deficit.
"We've
had more (in the fund)
in the past, but last year we had
to cut back contingency," he
said.
Excess snow removal costs for
the two recent storms will be
covered by this year's fund.
A utility increase was one of the
primary costs which depleted the
fund last year. Boiler, plumbing
and sewer repairs, cafeteria
overruns and dorm maintenance
have all· been expenses covered
bv the fund in the past.
· The contingency fund is used at
the end of the year to cover
departmental budgets which
have deficits as a result of
unanticipated
emergency
spending.

Marist College students
will go to the island of Eleuth~ra
in the Bahamas over the Spring
break, according to Father
LaMorte, director of campus
ministry.
"The purpose of the trip," said_
LaMorte · 'is to help the people on
the isla~d- That's the most im-
portant thing we can ac-
complish."
The students going to the island
are
Anthony
Salvia, Carl
Wassman, Dave Powers, and
Peter Persico. They will be living
and working with the farmers on
the island
.
Most of the work they
will be doing will be hard manual
labor. Eleuthera is primarily an
agricultural society.
The students will be working
with Reverend Robert Ling, a
missionary on the island who is in
charge of a youth program.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hoffler,
of Poughkeepsie, own a home in
Eleuthera and spoke to Father
LaMorte
about
sending
representatives down there to
help the people. "We have sent
educational material, which· has
· consisted· mainly· of religious
material, down there," said .
LaMorte, "but we want to go
beyond that."
The students were chosen for
the trip
by
a random drawing,
according to LaMorte, There
were approximately ten people
who showed interest, three of
whom were women. The women
who wanted to go down to the
island were Carol Veccio, Noreen
Fennell, and Maureen Heiser.
· ·Tuey were eliminated right
away," says LaMorte "because
of the attitude of the island."
According to LaMorte the women
down there are not all liberated
and
are
considered
just
housewives. He felt this was
understandable because of the
island's culture.
The trip, which will cost $800, is
funded by campus ministry. The
money was raised by a cocktail
party held last semester.
"It's
important,"
said
LaMorte, "that our community
have a connection with another
community of people."

Mccann budget deficit
By
David Potter
The James J. McCann Center
has a projected deficit of ap-
proximately
$124,000
in its first
year of operation, according
to
the center's budget. Ron Petro,
athletic director, said the deficit,
originally projected at
$70,000
for
the year, will be paid by Marist's
general budget.
The budget projected McCann
expenditures to exceed
$215,000
for the year, with
$91,000
in self-
generated income. Originally,
the center projected an income of
$145,000,
but has reduced the
figure to
$105,000
because of its
inability to obtain outside rentals,
said
Petro.
Projections for McCann were
determined by adding actual and
projected expenditures from the
Mc Cann budget together.
Mc Cann
's
largest expense is
$143,655
for personnel salaries,
which include professional.
secretarial, custodial, security
and lifeguard wages. Utilities (oil
and heat), follow with
$7,563
in
service contracts and phones,
$6,487
in janitorial supplies,
$4,046
for pool supplies,
$3,553
for
new equipment,
$3,422
for office
supplies, $1,507 for brochures,
$1,077
in saleable items, and $500
miscellaneous.
Of McCann's generated in-
come, usage fees have con-
tributed
$34,184.
Usage fees in-
clude guest and non-member
fees, family, summer student,
VIP, parttime faculty and
graduate fees, and alumni and
culinary institute fees. The pool
generated
$30,015,
along with
$16,098
in fieldhouse rentals,
$8,000
in basketball receipts, and
$:3,000

To Alter Or To Abolish
A long time ago Sue Breen was elected vice
president of Student Government (SG ). A
long time ago she promised to rewrite a
useless and outdated constitution. She said
this during her campaign and emphasized it
as a top priority. But that was a long time
ago.
A long time ago there was a group of very
brave young men who gr

Gong Show replies
To the Editor:
What has Marist come to?
Whoever set up the plans for the
Gong Show must be the same
person who runs the Financial
planning for Marist Col!ege. This
is the second year in a row that
the Gong Show has produced
"foul mouths," an inconsiderate,
loud-mouthed audience, and a
poor judging panel. The students
at Marist College should be ap-
palled at this type of en-
tertainment.
Here's a review, (of course
only in my opinion) of the Gong
Show.
·
The announcer starts off with a
good sense of humor, but a poor
sense of when he's talked enough.
His foul language of four letter
words, combined with his lack of
talent, made him qualify for the
worst act of the night.

What is Lent?
By
Father Richard LaMorte
The problem with Lent is its glamor.
It
has too many things
going for it. Some we've passed, others we still celebrate -
many have simply been neutralized. The Tuesday before Ash
Wednesday, Shrove Tuesday,
so
called. after the medieval
practice of hearing confessions that day, was pancake day -
the best way to use up all of the animal fat, butter and oils
forbidden by the Lenten fast. Ashes and the veil, first being
outside the church then over the crucifix to remind us of food
limitation. Since meat was totally prescribed in ancient days,
bread dough was rolled snake-like ai1d bent to represent
human arms cro~ed in prayer on ones breast and which has
come down to
us
as the pretzel. Maudy Thursday (that of
Holy Week) takes its name from the Latin word meaning
"Mandatum" - to command (the new commandment of love
at the Last Supper), to "munto" to wash (to remind us of the
feet washing of the same event) to the "maund" - meaning
basket ( of food for the poor.) Good Friday is a contraction for
·•God's Friday" much the same way that good bye is a
contraction of "God be with you." And we can add the three
hour watch ( of Good Friday) dark tenebrae the make believe
Seder meal, the pabn branches and the symbols : of those
last days, thorns, pitcher and bowl, hammer and nail, cross
and inscription, sponge and reed, life and death, tomb and
lily. Lent when you come right down to it, does have a lot of
glamor. Which is unfortunately lost for too many.
Not that the list of things just mentioned who1lv )e_gitimate,
is not enormously helpful in capturing the ~irit of Lent, but
the uneasiness expressed is over the po~ibility and even the
likelihood that we, seduced by the sheer multiplicity and
attractiveness of these customs and activities, are being
deflected from the larger issue. Lent
is
not primarily about
such things, nor even primarily about Jesus' passion, death
and resurrection. Such events are merely the means, not the
end. They aremerely tools designed to attract the eye, move
the heart, catch the imagination - and why?
In
order. to
engage our committment. Lent is not only means to draw
us
to those priceless acts of Jesus and to cause wonderment at
such committment, but it is also meant to provok~ fun-
damental responses from us.
In
a word, Lents labor is about
decision, about conversion. And this point
.
is
crucial - in the
Christian tradition, conversion means just one thing
·
: Bap- ·
tism.
Baptism: for some a sore subject, for others a forgotten
subject, for still others a moment - statement to be reflected
upon, within regard to its present validity.
If
baptism is
synonymous with committment then, such committment
could not take place at infancy, unless one seriously in-
vestigate the elements of said committment here and now.
·
Remember Lent is a journey into the mysteries of the life,
death and resurrection of Jesus. But the end of the journey is
us.
It
is our response, our promise, our decision, our com-
mittment here and now - not eighteen or ten, or five years
ago. The end of the Lenten Pilgrimage is Baptism, or at least
a renewal of the promised committment.

To the Editor:
While looking through this
semester's first edition of the
informative Circle, I noticed a
photograph of our cafeteria on
the front page.
I
assumed that
this photograph deserved to be
placed on the front page because
of its importance.
It
would seem
that the cafeteria's management
considers the remodeling of the
cafeteria of more importance
than the improvement of the
quality
·
of
meals.
The
management's principal c.:oncern
is to improve the environment of
the cafeteria by beautifying its
walls
and not by what actually
should be considered. According
to the recent article the im-
provement will "save work and
.
eliminate what we are being
fed," but it doesn't mention how
these decorations would benefit
the people who have to eat there.

I think the scheduling

One of the biggest areas of
controversy concerning. limited
student access, is the Mccann
racquetball courts. According to
McCann rules, anyone can
reserve one of four courts for
handball: racquetball, or squash,
up t~ 24 hours in advance, for one
hour at a time. ·

Dr.
Goldman agreed there is a

students are being denied use
because of outsiders. Goldman
explained "there's only four of

diving well, at the south end of
the pool, is open for student use.
Goldman said he wishes the
entire pool could be kept open to
students at all times, but he
explained "it's impossible to
have the pool available for just
those people who want to come
over on a moment's notice."
Until now, said Mitchell, the

February 16, 1978
WMCR waits for decision
Quinn, new
R.C.
By Beth Weaver
Marist College Radio (WMCR)
wants to "go on the air, but sound
like a real radio station," ac-
cording to Alan Hunter, WMCR's
chief engineer. Because of stolen
equipment WMCR has not been
on the air this semester.
WMCR is also waiting on a
decision by the Inter-House
Council (IHC) before they can go
FM stereo through Bruce TV's
lines. The IHC is deciding
whether to make TV-FM con-
nections mandatory in Leo and
Champagnat Hal.ls.
"We will go AM if we have to,
or broadcast through his (Bruce
TV's) or other systems (phone or
electric lines)," said Vinny
Capozzi,
WMCR 's · general
manager.
WMCR and Bruce TV had an
"oral agreement" that Bruce TV
would "provide a coaxial cable
run from the station to the head
ends" in Champagnat and Leo,
said Capozzi. In return, WMCR
personnel were "accepting
payment and transferring the full
amount to Bruce TV."
Few people signed up with
WMCR for the TV-FM con-
nections. Bruce TV decided
they could not turn on the entire
system for only 11 students.
Capozzi added he is in the
"process of returning the money
to the students who signed up."
Fred Gainer, Champagnat
Housemaster, asked Bruce TV
for an estimate for the rental of
the entire system. Bruce TV gave
a figure of
$1
per room-per month
for mandatory connections in
both Leo and Champagnat, ac-
cording to John Oehm, president
of Champagnat house council.
The
IHC
discussed
the
suggestion at their Feb.
14
meeting. They did not vote on the
suggestion because of lack of
student feedback. One problem
brought up was on the collection
of the money this semester for
the connections.
Capozzi added that Bruce TV
wants to know of any deposit
problems from last year.
Students are to send their name,
last year's room number, and
this year's room number to Bruce
TV, and he will get in touch with
the student and try to take care of
the situation.
Blood
drive attracts 173
By Vic Small
Of the
173
pints of blood
donated to the blood drive, only
three were from members of the
faculty or administration. Jim
Dasher, president of Sigma Phi
Epsilon - the fraternity that
sponsored the drive, said, · "I'm
disgusted and disappointed. In
a
school where students are blasted
for apathy, the administration
and the teachers have set a prime
example of apathy for the
students to follow."
several reasons for the small
turnout. He said the small tur-
nout from the administration and
teachers, along with the cold and
flu bug, kept the number down.
Dasher also said that the date
change from Wednesday to
Thursday (due to the bad
weather), effected the turnout.
Jean
Yanarella,
Blood
Yanarella said they were turned
away for their own or for the
receivers good.
After being taken, the blood is
processed, tested, typed, and
prepared to be sent to local
hospitals; all in three days. Some
of the blood is made into com-
ponents. Ms. Yanarella said that
since blood is in short supply,
almost all the blood will be used -
either in its whole state, where its
shelf life is only
21
days, or in its
components.
Unofficially, according to Ms.
By Carmen Rivera
Vinnie Quinn, resident coor-
dinator for Champagnat Hall,
hopes to establish better com-
munication between resident
advisors (RA's), students, and
Fred Gainer,
Champagnat
resident director.
"I • also hope
to
make
programming more responsive to
the needs of the students" said
Quinn. In that respect, Quinn is
working closely with John
Campbell, graduate assistant in
College activities.
"I think working with Quinn
should make a significant dif-
ference in the total atmosphere of
the dorm, in that programming
will become more visible" said
Campbell. Due to lack of follow
through in the past, because it
wasn't anyone's specific duty, the
total concept of programming
was lost.
Through various types of
competition within Champagnat
Hall, Quinn is trying to build up
respect for the building students
live in. Although they are still in
the tentative stages, Quinn is
planning a Winter Carnival, a
Talent Show within Champagnat
(and possibly other halls),
various sports, games of skill,
films
in the lounges, lectures,
demonstrations,
and
the
utilization of the barn to greater
extent. Quinn is open to new ideas
from students and "strongly
Vinnie Quinn
encourages students to get in-
volved" in helping him plan these
activities. Quinn is considering
having a complaint-suggestion
box installed on his door for
students.
Quinn is expected to attend
house meetings with the housing
staff, to supervise prearranged
house duty schedules of the RA's,
and is alao responsible for
checking into maintenance
complaints.
According to Gainer, Quinn
does "follow-ups" on main-
tenance requests which have not
been fulfilled by the maintenance
department. Quinn also assists
Gainer in the overall inspection
· of Champagnat hall which ac-
cording to Gainer, "could not be
done alone."
The fraternity had hoped more
than 300 people would give blood
to the drive that lasted from
12
to
5
on Thursday afternoon in the
Campus Center. Dasher cited
Program Director for the Red
Cross of Dutchess County who
worked with the Hudson Valley
Blood Services on the blood drive,
said the fraternity did a good job
of getting volunteers. She said
anytime over 150 people give, it's
a success.
Eighteen people were turned
away
from
giving
blood.
Yanarella, Marist set the record
for eating cookies and jelly beans
which are given out to raise blood
sugar levels.

Colfer reside in one of the
residence halls, according to
Assistant Dean of Students Fred
Lambert. He will reside in room
334
Champagnat, which was
formerly Housemaster Fred
Gainer's office. Gainer is moving
his office to the first floor
Champagnat, room 102.
Colfer received his Masters

personnel

from
Glassboro State College in July
1975.
Before his post at Franconia
College he taught in the Long
Beach Consolidated

system in New Jersey. He is
interested in the outdoors, mainly
cross-country skiing and hiking,
and has hiked · the Appalachian
trail.
"To say they have the flu, is a
broad term. We just don't have
the doctors on campus to sit down
and analyze what the problem
is," said Spaight. Pat Lennahan,
Leo housemaster, believes the
real problem is that students
aren't taking care of themselves.
"No one is taking it seriously,"
Lennahan said. Noreen Fennell,
a Sheahan RA, said "it's hard to
stay healthy. when there are so
many people living so closely
together, the germs are spread so
easily." Two girls on Sheahan's
third floor had to be taken to the
hospital, and treated for acute flu

Fred ·Gainer, Champagnat
hqusemaster; said ''some peoP.le

only about eight Champagnat
residents are "really sick."
Lennahan said in Leo "there are
a couple of people sick on every
floor." He said, "it's not reaching
epidemic proportions, it's just
basically stomach viruses, and
colds which are very con-
tageous." Many of the residents
in Sheahan Hall have been ill

she said. SG is in control of the
other areas now, but with the
proposal it would be incorporated
with those areas, she said.
It
would be hard to say what
other revisions would be made,
"because as I go through it (the
constitution), each area lists
different thin&s," Breen said.
"The job descriptions would be

In compliance with her cam-

The Professional Promise
The recent developments concerning future
professional prospects of Marist athletes has shown that
while some Marist teams have losing records we don't
necessarily have bad athletes.
A 1977 alumnus of Marist, Jay Metzger,. who played on
Doc·Goldman's soccer teamfor four years as goaltender
has been contacted for a tryout by the-Portland (Oregon)
·Timbers of the North American Soccer League.
The Timbers called Metzger at his home in Buffalo-after
hearing about his abilities from Doc _Goldman, who at-
tended a College Bowl night. "Doc must've put in a few
good words about me,"
_
·
A few_ days later, Metzger received a plane ticket to
.Oregon from the Timbers. He will try out for the backup
goalie, behind the number one gatekeeper. The tryout
period will
be
for ten days to two weeks.
"The Timbers don't believe in one or two days
of
practices," said the former resident advisor who has a
degree in-math and business.
Metzger, who played on an undefeated soccer team over
the summer in Buffalo has been working ·construction
jobs. "Come spring (try out time) I decided to quit the
construction job and try out for
a
few teams," said Met-
zger who had seven shutouts and a .79 goals against
average.
·
-
"I wrote to a couple of tea~. but then I got a call from
the Timbers. I was going to"try out for.the Buffalo team.
I'm confident about this tryout, and if I don't make it, well
it's not the end of the world."
· The other athlete _from Marist that is showing·
professional promise is senior Ron Clarke. Clarke played
linebacker and split-end on the Vikings for the past four
years .
.. About a month ago I was invited down to Giants
Stadium for a luncheon with approximately 20 other guys ·
from the northeastern area. They showed us around the
stadium, took our I.Q.'s weighed us in, and introduced us
to the coaches."
"Around the end.of May, they'll have their tryouts for
free agents and training camp starts in July, so I'll wait
until then," said the 6'2" linebacker.
Director of Football Steve Van Buren and Clarke wrote
letters to professional clubs at the end of the season. So far
the Washington Redskins, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Los
Angeles Rams have asked to see his films, He's received
letters from the Cincinnatti Bengals, San Francisco 49'ers
and the Dallas Cowboys.
"I
never really thought about it (going into professional
football) as a career said the resident of Staatsburgh who
made 389. career tackles for the Vikings.
• Clarke said he is staning to get picky.
"I
really wasn't
that impressed with the Giants orga?ization because_ of
their past performances. The one Giant coach that
un-
pressed me the most resigned and went to Detroit a few
days after he talked to me. I'd really like to hear from the
Washington Re<;lskins."
It
must be kept in mind that neither player has signed a
contract with any professional team. However, just the
fact that both players have been contacted shows that the
Marist athletic program can produce players of high
caliber'.
