Major repairs done;
doors need sanding
By Lark
Landon
.
All
of
last year's residence hall damage
charged to
.
students
has
been repaired
.
except the sanding of doors, according to
Andrew Pavelko, physical plant director,
and Fred Janus, maintenance supervisor.
The
30
-
doors in Champagnat needing
sanding,
at the cost of 27.50 apiece,
totalling
$825
paid by resident students,
.
will
be sanded over the semester recess,
-
said Janus and Pavelko.
·
Janus
·
said the doors had not. been
sanded during the fall semester because it
would require taking doors off binges
which would leave rooms unprotected.
Sanding could not be done in the hallways
because the accumulation of
·
dust and
dalism would decrease only through
student
·
assistance in pressuring in-
dividuals not to vandalize Marist property,
or
.
to pay for the
damage
they
.
cause.
Otherwise; all students living
in
the wing,
house or floor, where the vandalism
oc.;
cu1Ted will continue to split the cost of
repairing the damage.
:
''Whyshould other
students have to tolerate
·
vandalism?
It's
c:riminal,
anti-social, and ·
unfair
that
others have to pay for it," said Kelly.
students who commit acts of vandalism
are charged for the damage and placed on
disciplinary
.
probation, said Kelly, "to
prevent
a
repeated occu1Tence." In some
instances, students work off the charge by
doing custodial labor,
if
an arrangement is
.
reached with the residence director, he
said.
···
usage of
.
chemicals in the process could
damage student possessions. Both Pavelko

Advisors~f rosh program declines during semester
By
Rich Sohanchyk
and Roy Stuts
.
Peer and faculty advisors say they
don't meet with freshmen as much as
they should, but
-
many
of
the
-
~ r ad-
visors
·
say the program's
·
importance
. decreases after the first few weeks of
·
school.
Different reasons were given for the
advisory
.
groups

n~t meeting as often as
they
·
sho
_

Lee
Miringoff,
political
science instructor, said "we should not
have to seek them (freshmen) out, they
should seek
,
us out.''
.
But, peer- ~dvisor
Dave
.
Shaw
'.~
said it's

not really a

'
b~wie "they're

p~tty well

situated
by now" and if the freshmen
have a problem_ "they know where
_
we
.·
'
live:"
·Though both faculty and peer ad-
·
.
visors don't meet with freshmen now as
often as the beginning of the semester,
they said there was a need for efficient
and
·
available counseling during the
.
first few days _of school which many

advisors

termed "the critical first few

adviso1 i;aid
if
freshmen had met with
their advisors. earlier
.
"it would have
helped them de:velop a better attitude
·
towards
the
college." He also said "the
program never
.
really got off
·
the
ground, we didn't-meet for the first two
weeks."
.
Robert Nonnan, associate
professor of communications, said it
·
was
·
hard to·
·
meet
·
.
with
·
students
sometimes.
·
Like
Miringoff,
·
Norman
said students don't really seek
·
him out
and added he '
.
'still has to contact eight
inore students and it involves
·
a
lot
of
my time."
.·
.·
.
. _
.
·
.
While the faculcy advisors
.
spoke of
infrequent meetings with their
·
ad-
'Vii:iees,
peer advisors
.
agreed the
·
program
·
isn't as necessary as the first
two "critical weeks." Shaw said "it's
·
calmed a bit" and Terry Moore, peer
advisor, said the only time he sees
his
advisees is
·
at dinner
·
and around
campus.
.
.
.
Though faculty
.
and
_
peer advisors
-
agreed it was
·.
important to get fresh-
···
..
inen involved during
the
first two weeks
of school, they said there
·
were
many
reasons why freshmen do not get better
grades with the
ai4
of the program.
"It's
,
always
·
going
-
.
to be tough for
freshnien,11 said Dave
:
Metz, peer
·
ad•
visor. Moore said many freshmen ba
_
ve
.
.
trouble
"because
of core. Some fresh-
men are going
to
be.taking
courses not
in
.
their major
that
-
theY
have
nnt
in-
terest iri, or
in
areas they do poorly in.
This, plus the usual pressures of ad-
justment make - it hard." Norman
agreed but added
the
students can
go to
the learning center to receive tutoring
if
they need help. One peer advisor, not
wishing
to
be
identified; said poor
grades
··
reflected Marist's admissi~n
policies. "They're just not attracting
·
high quality students,•~ he said.
.
·
While
many
.
.
advis9rs
·
pointed to
problems
in
the
advisory program and
·
gave reasons
_
why
freshmen score
·
low
academically, only Augustine Nolan,
assistant professor of english, offered
plans to alleviate some of
the
problems
·
faculty have
in
meeting
.
their advisees
and improving poor grades.
"I
do not
.
get to see some of my
·
advisees that
_
.
much because they are not in any of my
classes,"
said Nolan.
"If
my advisees
were in my classes,
I
would
see
theni at
least once a week." He added he
believes it would be worth the wait to
arrange for his advisees
.
to
.
attend his
classes; Nolan also
·
said
.
mid-tenn
·
grades are not distributed
·
until two
.
thirds
into
the semester which makes it
..
difficult for students
fo
improve
.
their ·
.
grades.
"If
there were a marking
period four weeks
into
the
·
sem~er,
tM.t~d
.
of eight weeks for the
·
stµdent
to
know how he
is
doing, it
.
would
still
give
him a chance to impfQ.Ve
his
grades
even
before
mid-term
grades
are
out,"
·
.
he said.
While-peer advisors said students ca11
come to them
if
they have a problem,
most
faculty members interviewed said
students won't come to them with
problems other than
·
academic, even
though the advisory program
is
meant .
to include social or personal problems.
"The freshmen advisory program
is
to
give students a sense of someone they
·
could
·
go to to straighten out academic
and social problems," said Nolan.
·
.
Dr. Milton Teichman,
.
professor of
.
english, said "some students come
to
Marist with
a
misconception that not
too
much effort is needed to get through
college." He suggested an educational
and cultural program outside of
.
a
.
·
student's courses should
.
be im-
plemented plus more information be
made available at
_
freshmen orien-
tation:He also added that at orjentation
"it
.
should be underscored that
.
we
demand seriousness of purpose
and a
mature attitude.
,
College life
is
not a
continuous party or supporting
Frank's
across the ·street." Miringoff · added
faculty can help• make
.
themselves
accessible by visiting the commuter
lounge, eating in the cafeteria, at-
tending

A lot happens in room 125 in Cbam-
pagnat Hall. According to Larry
Snyder, director of
the
office of Career
Development and Placement, there
is
"a lot that goes on under
the
auspices of
the Office of Career Development and
Placement."
Besides offering job preparation
workshops, creating reference folders
for seniors and alumni, and assisting
students in finding part-time jobs,
additional services provided include:
on-campus recruiting programs, a
libraryofgraduateschoolcatalogues,a
career library and books on careers,
according to Snyder.
The job preparation workshops are
primarily for seniors. Topics include
cover letters, resumes, and techniques
·
for looking for a job, he said. The
·
workshops have been "stressed very
strongly
.
this
semester."
Along with Snyder, who works in the
office full time,
is
Career Counselor Pat

.
is there Tuesdays,

Snyder said the bulk of
his

devoted to the on campus recruiting,
which involves bringing represen-
tatives of companies on

to
interview seniors for jobs after
graduation. For example, on Nov.

Snyder it was a "feather in our cap"

to

Modern Language Association Conference
hosted by

and directed by Dr.
George Sommer.

couple· of

were

cancelled
·

because of
.
tlie
weather.
The Modern Language Association
(MLA) was created in 1884 by 20 scholars
who gathered together to discuss language
and literature according to Sommer. The
membership has grown to 35,000
·
and an
aMual conference is scheduled Dec. 2&-31
in a large U.S. city, usually New York. The
MLA also publishes PMLA, a journal on
language and literature.
.
In 1950 Sommer joined
.
the
.
MLA, and
when it was broken into six regions of the
U.S. he says "l was asked to the NEMLA
·
(Northeastern region) in 1967. There were
90 of us and we talked in exactly the same
way as the 20 scholars did in 1884," said
Sommer. The membership grew to 2,500
and in 1975, after attending a regional
conference in Montreal; Sommer says "I
was on the train thinking to myself. There
were 125 sections, three days for 400
papers and I didn't even hear all the
papers in my field. I decided I would
create a local M.L.A. ", Sommer said.
Sommer said MLA was created to be
small, as opposed to
the
growth
of the
national and regional conferences, and to
encourage student involvement. "All other
conventions give lip service to the
students. I absolutely encouraged students
to give papers.'' The youngest student to
participate was a college freshman, says
Sommer.
·She
wrote
the· paper when
·
.she
was a high
,
school
;
senior, says,Sommer.
This year 11 students were involved in
the
program and
-
they received · an-
·
en-
cyclopedia of poetry as a reward for their
achievements, he said.
"Marist College is the home of the Mid-
Hudson MLA because I'm at Marist.
It
is
not a Marist function," he said. But, ac-
cording to Sommer, "there
is
a lot of
prestige when you have 150 professors
from the area and way outside coming to
Marist for academic reasons." The local
conference is the first and only 'local
conference in the country, says Sommer,
who says it is funded by its registration
fees and Marist College. "It's a shoe-string
budget. We do it for less than
$2,000."
Sommer also created a journal two years
ago in which 12 of the best papers in the
conference are published.
"The conference
is
very much a one man
operation," Sommer says, taking
13
to
14
full time weeks and 500 to 600 hours a year.
,He
added, "I've already begun on next
year's program."

The security problem
·
of first floor
Champagnat rear doors left open by rocks
being placed at the base of them, was
discussed by Fred Gainer, residence
director, and Joseph Waters, director of
security. Waters suggested student peer
·
pressure to rectify the pr_oblem. "Students
should tell those students who
wedge_
open
the door
.
that they are jeop
,
ordizing the
safety and property of other students,"
said Waters.
,
Another possibility discussed was the
installation of an alarm system that woul4
go
.
off when the doors
-
are opened.
However, Waters said this would
be
im-
practical because it would require security
guards to leave their desks to
.
respond to
the alarm, leaving the other donns un-
protected.
,,
·
Another- security problem discussed at
the
meeting was the main
doors
of dor-
mitories
·
being open and accessible to
unauthorized individuals during the day.
Gainer suggested locking the main
doors,
which would only
.
unlock by special keys
issued to students,
as a
possible solution.
Gainer said that "its a complex process."
.
and
·added
that he would check into the
cost of it.
Circle Editor Dave Potter, and
Associate Editor, Lark Landon were
,
present at the meeting to discuss an article '
in the Nov. 16 issue of the Circle con-
cerning the Nov.
14
meeting of the food
committee and other inaccuracies of past
stories. According to Diane Digit, chair-
person of the
food
committee, committee
members said the article "didn't express
what happened at
the
meeting," that
quotes "were taken out of context," and
that representatives said the arti~le
misinterpreted them.

David Metz said "there are both
denotative and connotative meanings
to
a
story" and in the choice of certain
words, meaning may

cha~ed by bias.
Potter said that three reporters were
present at the food committee meeting and
that the quotes in the arti~e were ac-
curate, but that the entire quote may not
have been
used
due to lack of space.
Landon said the Circle would print
_
corrections providing there
is
a basis to
claims of the
-
inaccuracy and misquote.
Potter added that he supported the ac-
curacy of the article.
Trust,
and FAO Schwarz. Snyder said
some of the companies coming nexi
semester
will
accept interviews from
seniors of
any
major.
On
top of all this, Snyder said he is
working with organiultions to provide
speakers.
A
representative from the
Success Motivation Institute
will
speak
Feb.
13
on motivation, and be said he
also hopes
to
get a program on in-
-
terviewing for next semester.
Snyder said no placement office can
place all its seniors, but he added the
aim
is
to
help place as many seniors as
is possible. This will work only if
seniors take advantage
of
the services
offered; "they'll
be
educated as to
information on how to go about getting
a
job," he said.
Snyder said he
is
pleased with the
results of the placement office in the
past. He said, based on a survey taken
two years ago,
Marist
had a higher
percentage of "hires" who went
through the recruitment program, than
any other school on the list bad of job
·
offers. This is based on schools ap-
proximately Marist's size,. "The
results are good," he said.
The placement office also keeps an
'
-
'active resume file" and when a job
comes in, resumes of alumni and
seniors who are qualified
will
be
notified of the Job.
Working with Snyder in the office
is
Donna Drumm, who
is
in charge of the
off-campus part-time jobs bulletin
board, located across from the finan-
cial aid office. When a job
comes
in, she
writes down the job d~ption and
other information, and when a student
asks about the job, she screens them to
see
if they are qualified for it, she said.
In
addition she matches qualified
teacher education graduates
to
jobs.
This is her "favorite part and biggest
responsibility," she said.
While most students
will
be home
over the Christmas recess, the
Placement Office
_
will
be
open for any
students, to come in and get in-
formation, said Snyder.
'!be recruiting program for the
spring
semester
will
begin Tues. Feb.
6,
according to Snyder. Bulletins will
be
sent to seniors telling which company is
coming, when, to interview students.
Snyder said many seniors know about
some of the services offered and take
advantage of them, and he said he
welcomes anybody who wishes to
utilize the services.

We stand
by
our story
The Circle has been accused of both inac-
curacies and misrepresentations in its Nov.
16 article headlined "Students voice com-
plaints at food committee meeting." Some
members of the food committee, Interhouse
Council and Peter Gillotte, food production
manager for Marriott, expressed dissatisfac-
tion with the story and charged the Circle
misquoted people at the meeting. Gillotte
contested the editorial headlined "Not Just
in January," calling it a fairy tale.
However, the Circle has been fair, accurate
and unbiased in .is reporting. Three reporters·
were at the food committee meeting, and all
three reporters came away with the same
notes and quotes and impressions. The Circ::le
stands by both the story and the editorial.
Editorials
We maintain the food service should clean
up their act. Marist students should not have
to pay for inferior quality food and service.

To the Editor:
I'm very disappointed with the
way
the gentlemen wrote
the
article in
the
Nov. 16th issue of
the
"Circle" about
the
Food
Committee meeting. I feel that
the
dining
service as well as
the
Food Committee, bas suffered a
great injustice! The article was
laced with misquotes and was
written in such a way · that it
presented. the whole issue
completely out of context!

to
correct the misquotes and tell ~t
Segmentation?
To the editors:
The administration seems
intent upon segmenting- the
housing arrangements.
I
use the
above phrase because
I
am not
entirely sure what else to call
that intention.
Last
year it was
"Common Interest" housing, this
year · "Special Interest" is
preferred.
I
will
leave
unexamined the question of what,
if.
any, changes in motivation·
may be hidden behind the
dif-
ference in terminology. I will .
merely refer to both plans under
the
way it really was. 'lbe
damage
is
done, I cannot change
that. I can only hope that in
the
future more students will take
time to come to a few Food
Committee
meetings and
see
how
and what
the
Food Committee
is
really accomplishing!!!!
In reply to the editorial "Not
Just In January" I have
this
to
say. In my opinion
the
editorial
rates up there with
"Alice
in
Wonderland", "Cinderella" and
"Snow White and The Seven
Dwarfs"!!!!

was
careful not
to
respond to that within an In-

to that nonsense within this

Stop and reflect

the more descriptive term,
"segmentation".
Gregory is empathetically not
a special-interest house, either
~
conception or in fact. There are
no common major, activity,
hobby, degree of academic
prowess, color of hair, team, or
c<1_ndition of physical fitness
which members of Gregory have
in
common,
and
which
distinguishes them from those
who live elsewhere. No part of

of an interest. We hold, and our

papers, and cramming for final exams to

In

and think. What does the holiday season
really mean to you? Is it just one p~rty after

it just watching the Playoffs? Is
it just eating a lot?
Aren't the holidays more a time of
celebration? Time to get together with frien-

Maybe we should

To some people, the holiday season is a time

represent loneliness, and poverty. Some

with;
some people 'don't have the money for the
kind of holiday they would like.

us don_'t think, or don't want to think about
how lucky we are.
Maybe
if
we stopped and gave of ourselves

pleasant.

A
Thought
This year provides us with an excellent op-
portunity to
link
the
celebration of
Christmas-
the birth of the Light of the World, with the feast
of Hannukah- the Feast of Lights, for the first
day of Hannukah
is
2.5th December.
Hannukah
which
·
means
dedication,
specifically commemorates the cleansing and
rededication of the·temple in Jerusalem and
more broadly the liberation of the entire Jewish
nation from the dominating presence of
pagans
as recorded in the.Book of
Maccabees.
A
second
emphasis is on light and stems from a tradition
about the sacrificial fire being miraculously
kindled (2Mac 1:19-22). Another tradition states
that when the temple was being rededicated only
one intact and undefiled vial
of
oil was found.
It
was enough to light
the lamp
for one day, yet, it
miraculously lasted for eight days, giving rise to
the eight days of· celebration.
Christmas comes from
the Old English:
Cristes-maesse, meaning:
the sending of Christ.
The feast that christians,call
the Epiphany, (the
coming
to light,
shining
forth, appearance) was
originally ~lled: the Theophany (the ap;.
pearance of God).
It
was a feat to celebrate the
manifestation of God's glory and love in a three-
fold event: the birth of Jesus, the visit of the
Magi, and the
beglnning
of
his
public
ministry
in
his baptism by John. Gradually, these events
came to
be
celebrated · as separate feasts,
primarily because of a historical accident:
the
feast of winter solstice was observed in Rome on
or about "5th December, while in Egypt,
the
same pagan feast was observed on 6th January.
-·
As
the festival of Hannukah stretches for eight
days, so the Christmas event
is
celebrated for
eight days; both proclaiming man being freed
· from a way of slavery and given a new, forever-
burning light for his way.
. .The ritual of Christmas-Hannukah, trees and
lights, kringles and gifts can easily become no ·
. more than pagan festivals as observed in Rome
and Egypt centuries ago. The concepts, the way
of living, the spirit of the original events in
history; we must somehow make real here, at
Marist and in our living together. Perhaps
cleaning house and rededicating our house to a
· more substantive way of living ... freeing our-
selves from a dcminating presence, so that
we
may move toward the future more rooted in our
tradition.
Having moved in this way first, then, perhaps
the
sense
of
0.
Henry's: "Gift
of
the
Magi" can
begin to flourish in our midst. The acts we do to
each other or for ourselves; how we live with
each other; however, can so·
easily
become
meaningless, 'destructive and self-serving. Yet,
we maintain here that we are more-we at
Marist maintain · a strong Judeo-Christian
tradition as part of our personal and corporate
lives. Perhaps it is time that that be called forth
from our
history rather than buried in it.
Perhaps such a spirit can take on fiesh around
here and even be seen .•.. Perbaps we can even
become noted and sought after for, rather than
fled from for lack of
it.
A
gift only we can give
ourselves
if
we but risk what we have.
_
A
thought ...•..
Once the term is adopted one
easily rises above the ob-
fuscatory nature of much of the
discussion of this question. What
is
being asked of us
is
whether or
not we wish to treat persons as
wholes and therefore
as
part
of
a
whole,.· or. as segments and
identified by, .. distinguishing
characteristics, "interests".
H
this
campus wishes to treat itself
as
a diverse but unified system, I
wish to articulate that desire.
H
it
wishes
...at itself as a bundle
of compartmentalized charac-
teristics~
I
want no part of it.
The purpose of this letter,
though, is a specific response to
one argument containing a
hazardous false assumption.
Gregory House is said to already
be a special interest house, and so
. munity", which ideal itself has no
single interpretation among us.
The ideal
of
the segmentors
is
in
no sense upheld thereby, the
unity
of
the campus is in no sense
violated.
Not only
is
there no in-
consistency in the fact that most
or all Gregorians oppose
Lam-
bert's Legacy, there might well
be an inconsistency in anything
else.

Research
Conference, held
Dec.- 1, according to John Scileppi,
assistant professor of psychology and.
assistant coordinator of the conference.
Held in the
campus
center, the conference
featured student presentations, films, and
lectures by professionals in the psychology
field ..
· The conference was co-sponsored by the
Marist Psychology Club and -the Marist
Psychology Department, according to
Scileppi.
Invitations were sent to high schools in
the Hudson Valley in October, and
305
responses were received, he ·said.
Although he was a
"a
bit concerned at
first"
about attendance, Scileppi said the
conference was a "big success."
·
Expenses, estimated at
$350
to
$400,
and
were raised by the club with some con-
tributions by the department, according to
Scileppi. Expenses went for refreshments,
publications and materials, he said.
The conference was initiated five years
ago because there was "a need to
recognize student achievement," said
Scileppi.
·
He cited former Department Chairman
Dan Kirk, . and William Eidle, who was
then teaching Experimental Psychology,
as
chief initiators of the conference.
Scileppi said "each year I see it Jthe

Circle
editors named
By Valerie Poleri
Marist junior Lark Landon, and senior
Kathy
Norton, have been named co-editors
ci
the Circle newspaper this spring, ac-
cording to the current editors, Beth
Weaver and Dave Potter.
Landon
said, "I'm looking forward to
being an editor, it
will
be
a
good
ex-
perience." Landon was associate editor
this semester and she said that there is a
lot of work involved. Being an editor for
the Circle involves thinking of stories and
assigning them to the journalism class,
editing all the stories that come in, doing
the layout, writing editorials, plus writing
stories for the Circle.
Landon,
a
communication major said,
"I enjoy writing, and working on the paper
has given me the opportunity to write a
lot." Landon receives three com-
munication credits for this and it involves
working on the paper
20
to
30
hours a week.
She also said, "I hope the coverage will be
as good next semester as it was
th.is
one."
Norton was unavailable for comment
because she is in New York City interning
at
the
Associated
Press.
Weaver said she
will
still write for the
Circle next semester
if
they need her.
Weaver said,
"It
was a lot
of
work being
editor, but it was really rewarding
to
see
the paper come out on Thursday."
Weaver, who said she wants to go into
public relations, added, "This helped me
decide what I wanted to do. I'm going to
miss
working on the paper. I learned
a
lot
about dealing with people and dealing with
the pressures involved with the job."
Potter, the other editor, also said he
would
miss
working on the Circle. "I en-
joyed it. I learned a lot about people and it
increased my ability to cover news," said
Potter. Potter will be interning next
semester at the Poughkeepsie Journal.

By

The Marist College swimming team lost
its
first
varsity
swim
meet at New Paltz
November
2.8
by a score of
69-44.
Coach Larry Van Wagner said New
Paltz bad a top
.
quality
team
''who
will
do
well in the Conference Championships."
New Paltz bad one of its large.st teams
in
years, according to Van Wagner.
Steve Cronin led the Red Foxes winning
three races including
.
the
1000
yard
freestyle,
200
yard butterfly, and the
500
yard
freestyle events. He covered the
distances
in times of
ll:03A, 2:13.1,
and
5:35
respectively.
.

Van Wagner said Cronin had "some of
his
best lifetime performances" at the
.
meet,
and
added
he
will
do very well in the

championships.
Rieb
Conlon also placed first for the Red
Foxes in the
200

distances for the

distances
are "more stressful" than the
ones the swimmers were used to in high
school. "It was a positive experience that
the
swimmers could
swim
these events,"
he said.
Van Wagner said the Red Foxes
