of student
life.
The extra number of students
on campus has caused singl~s to
be discontinued, and the tripling
of freshmen women in rooms
.
Lambert said the increased
·
acceptance of women by ad-
missions
-..
is
one reason for the
tripling of females in one room.
·
Another reason Lambert said
is
.
the· acceptance
of
former Bennett
students into Marist.
During the first week of school
there were about 12 students
living in the Red Bull, a
·
hotel
located about four miles
,
south on
Route 9. Lambert said the
students living there were either
former Bennett students who
requested they live there t~m-
porarily rather than receive a
room on campus temporarily,
and upperclassmen who had paid
their room deposit only a few
days before the opening of school.
Lambert said
·
these students
were given rooms on campus
after the first week of school.
He also said he has not received
any complaints
.
regarding the
tripling of freshmen girls in one
room. He said some of the
students living in triple rooms
have requested to keep them
.
-
However, three freshmen girls
,
living in room 434 of Champagnat
Hall, said they have complained
to Lambert. Jeannie Langan, one
of the students, said "We never
had any choice in the matter."
Bernadette Keane, another one
of the girls living in the room,
said the room was "disgustingly
dirty" when they moved in.
Lambert said the decision to
discontinue singles was his "last
option."
_
According to Lambert, most of
the complaints have come from
students living on second floor

.
the
floor were singles, for girls, bµt

due to the increase of resident

nursing
program
By Maria Troiano
Marist
College
recently
combined its efforts with Mount
St.
Mary's College of Newburgh
to create a program for a
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in
Nursing.
·
According to Peter O'Keefe,
Director
of
Continuing
Education, Mt. St. Mary's has
relocated its program to the
Marist campus. O'Keefe said
Marist accepted the program
because the "area has been
crying for this for
,
years." He
added that Marist should have
had a nursing program years
ago.
The two-year program, which
was formally announced in
August, began this semester
.
"There is a great need for this
degree in this area. We expect a
strong response," O'Keefe said.
Presently there are about twenty-
five students enrolled with at
least one male in the group. All
students must hold a registered
nurse (R.N.) degree before en-
tering. Upon completion of the
program, they will be awarded a
BS in Nursing from Mt.
st.
Mary's.
According to O'Keefe, most of
the enrolled are part-time
students'. The liberal arts courses
taken by these students will be
regular courses already offered
at Marist. Nursing courses,
although located at Marist, will
be taught by instructors from Mt.
St.
Mary's.
·
All students will deal directly
with Mt. St. Mary's concerning
processing. O'Keefe said they
will pay the standard Mt. St.
Mary's tuition, which is $79 per
credit.

"A minor problem is the weak

Amato now at Bard
By
Gerard Biehner
Peter Amato, the residence
director at Marist College during
the 1976-77 school year, resigned
shortly after the end of the spring
semester due to personal feelings
which made him choose not to
continue
.
Amato, now the director of
residential life at nearby Bard
College, says he left Marist with
mixed feelings.
Amato
submitted
his
resignation to Dean Antonio
Perez on May
_
12, 1977, effective
June 30. Perez said that he knew
of no reasons. for Amato's
resignation_. and accepted the
_
resignation without question.
Amato said the views of other
administrators, in as far as the
approaching and handling of the
many problems which were in his
line of duty, were in conflict with
his own moral and ethical views
.
Because of this conflict of
opinion, Amato experienced a
difficulty to work and thought it
best to leave. Amato refused to
elaborate on who the ad-
ministraters were and which
problems were handled wrong.
He said he left a job he
did not feel comfortable in, but
still has very strong feelings for
Marist. "I still have a close and
·
.
fond feeling for many students
and faculty members at Marist
and I miss being there." Amato
said.

The hours ;t the pool in the

because the bulkheads that

divide the swimming areas were
removed. The bulkheads, which
cost $10,000 apiece, were found to
be rusting just five months after
the facility opened. Because the
pool cannot be seperated from
the diving tank, groups renting
the pool between the hours of 6-9
p.m. have to be given use of the
whole pool.
Athletic Director Ron Petro
said that it was necessary to do
the repair work now before
permanent damage was done to
the bulkheads. He also said that a
similar problem had developed at
Fordham University's new
swimming pool which was built
by the same company.

Chapel sacristy will be fixed n~xt year

The college will probably .wait

anniversary in 1978 to rebuild its

fire last Easter, according to
Anthony Campilii, business
manager.

Campilii said the school chose
to not "finalize" the insurance
settlement with Lloyd's of
London, the school's insurance
company, but to wait until the
anniversary to rebuild the
sacristy and renovate the chapel
simultaneously.

He said it would be foolish to

Presently, possible renovations

with the architect hired by the
school, according to the Rev.
Richard LaMorte, the director of
campus ministry and chaplain.
Fr. LaMorte said the old
sacristy was too large and the
school might get more use from a
smaller sacristy but" with an
added Penance room. He said the
chapel might be restructured to
have a staging room to use as a
waiting area before events held

"Bennett girls" say
Marist College compares favorably
·
By
.Joe
Ford
When the students of Bennett
College learned August 12 that
their school was closing, 380 girls
were faced with the following
options: 1) they could go to
Marist College 2) they could go to
Pace University or 3) they could
stay out of school for the year.
Mosiof the girls chose Pace, but
98 percent of Bennett's fashion
majors or approximately 90 girls
decided on Marist as their new
school.
After two weeks here, the
former
Bennett
students
described their adjustment to
Marist. The reviews were mostly
favorable despite some obvious
problems.
Benoit House, which was closed
because of an insufficient
number of students, had to be
reopened tci accommodate the
incoming Bennett students.
The house was in poor condition
from the moment they moved in,
and they still do not have a dryer,
a complete kitchen, or sufficient
furniture or lighting. However,
these incorveniences seem to
have been overlooked by the
former Bennett students when
talking about life at Marist.
"It's not too big," said Kim-
berley Fiterman 18-year-old
sophomore. "Here, you're a
person and not just a number."
Ms. Fiterman said she felt that
the girls in Benoit have been well
accepted by the rest of the
campus.
Lisa DeZalia, an 18-year-old
freshman said "I like the campus
and I like the people." Ms
.
DeZalia said she enjoys the fact
that she can now participate in
such activities as karate.
Sally Roberts, and Pat Van
Tassell, both
19
year old
sophomores and roommates said
they felt there was "a lot more
going on here. Bennett was
basically a suitcase school" they
said.
Delana Adams, a
_
19 year old
sophomore,
·
said she liked
practically everything about
Marist.
"I
like the programs, the
activitie~. and especially the
recreation center
.
"
·
Liz Bennett
a
19 year old
sophomore, said "I like it
(Marist) a lot better than Ben-
nett, because it's larger, there
are more guys, and it's a \ot more
relaxed
.
"
The consensus indicates Marist
College is a hit with the former
Bennett students. However, there
are a couple of minor wrinkles
which still need to be ironed
out.
One of these is the tab
"Bennett
girls" that has been placed on the
newcomers.
As
Cynthia
Youngman, a 17 year old fresh-
man put it,
"some
think we
're
a
bunch of stuck-up snobs."
Whatever people's opinions may
be, one thing is for certain;
Bennett girls have now become
Marist girls.

No way, says Marist head
bartender Joe Mula. "Never be
afraid to ask what's in a drink, or
go back to look at the bartender's
guide ... nobody's expected to
remember everything."
. This information on swallowing
your pride was only part of a
presentation by Mula Monday
night in the New Dining Room
when he showed about 80 students
how to mix some of the drinks
people swallow when they're out
socializing.
Because of a new college
drinking policy only students who
attended the class will be allowed
to act as bartenders at campus
social functions.
During the hour-long lecture,
Mula whose favorite drink is a CC
and Seven, showed students
recipes for the most popular
drinks. Such basics as a Bloody
Mary, Gin and Tonic, Vodka
Collins and a Manhattan were
mixed by volunteers at a
makeshift bar under the direction
of Mula.
Student Bo Mason whipped up a
Screwdriver with no trouble until
Dining Service Manager Joe
Lurenz pointed out that Mason
used the wrong sized glass. Mula
then explained which glass goes
with which drink and why.
After demonstrating and
distributing for a sample about
ten drinks, Mula discussed
mixology with his amply ex-
perienced
audience.
Some
disagreed with the 'tender about
some of his recipes, and he ex-
plained, "A drink isn't always
mixed the
·
same way. I can show
you three different bar books that
do it three different ways."
But aside from the many
'mixes, was the equally important
advice he gave on the etiquette of
bartending.
"If
a _customer asks
.
for a Seagrams and SeveQ, and
you don't have Seagrams, ask
him for another order," said
Mula. "Take good care of people
and they'll take good care of
you," he added, alluding to
generous tips which can be
gained.
Mula said he began bartending
12 years ago while he was in the
Army. Since then it has been his
only profession and he has
worked at several establishments
including a bar called The Wreck
which is part of the well known
chain of Castaway clubs in
Miami, Fla., and the Casablanca,
(formerly The Bachelor) on
South Road in Poughkeepsie.

Save
our
Reynard
There is a sign on the wall in the Reynard-
Circle office in room
268
of the campus cen-
ter which says, ·'Want Future
Memories?
Pick Me Up Today .. ,
'74
Reynard."
It
may be ironic, but the message on that
old sales poster still rings true. Indeed, you
could come into room 268 and pick up a '7 4
Reynard. And while you are at it, you could
get
a copy of the yearbook from all of.the ·
years from
1972
to
1977.
There are cases full
of the over ordered and unsold books.
And now our sister publication finds itself
facing extinction unless they can sell enough
ads for their book and then collect the money
from those ads. But another facet of the mat-
ter is that the staff of the
1978
Reynard must
s
ell their books. The reason nearly 13,000
copies of the book sit dormant brings us back
lo an old nemisis.
·
It's
that word which often makes it's ap-
pearance weekly in this space.
Apathy.
··No. not again ... you
s
ay.
Yeah. again.
The yearbook is a tough piece of work to
eomplete. and it-'s pretty frustrating for the
staff
when they :;ell only
250
or so copies in a
s
chool of 1,500 year after year. It takes a
bunch of time to put it tog~ther, and is truly a
thankless job for the staff members who give
up more nights of sleep than they'd.like to
remember.
The problem with the book is that it
'
s so
expensive. Last year the Reynard cost
$14.
Editorials
That's a lot of money. We won't say
memories are priceless and that you should
buy the book no matter how much it costs.
We say, get on the staff of the Reynard and
help them keep a Marist tradition alive. Help
them sell advertisements for their back pages
and in turn lower the price.

Commuter involvement
With the increased enrollment of students
at Marist this year, there are approximately
1700 full
time students.
Every one of these
s
tudents must pay a
$30
a~iivity fee per semester. This $30 goes
to the McCann Center, student government,
an
-
d
CUB.
Student government funds all clubs on
campus. There are approximately
20
clubs.
WMCR. the Gaelic Society, The Political
Science· club, Accounting Society, and
Children's Theater are only a handful of the
different variety of clubs on campus.
A
club offers a student
_
many advantages.
It goes beyond the

tudent learns the theories of his field.
If
he
joins a club, he has the opportunity to put

Us
To the editors,
The
·
time is now to become
involved in the production of the
1978
Reynard - the Marist
yearbook.
We are making a concerted
effort to involve as many people
as possible including incoming
freshmen and graduating seniors
as well as faculty members and
residents and commuters. We
need you to build this year's book.
We
need
writers, photographers,
sales people, layout people,
typists, advertising represen-
tatives and anyone with any
interest in seeing a quality
.
book
produced this year.
In the past, the staff of the
Reynard has been disappointed.
Why? Because we have only been
able to sell a limited number of
books. This situation has put the
yearbook in a debt of $12,000
incurred over an eleven year
period.
·
We are asking for positive
suggestions,
constructive
.
criticism, and any ideas that

one a student will be proud to

communication as such; the
issue is now selfdetermination.
A
Senate of 38 would be much
less able to make firm decisions
than a Council of 12. Mr. Lambert
not only conceded that point, he
made it a cornerstone of his case.
He does not think that the multi-

may be or become, should have
any right to make decisions. It's
job must then be to apply the

order
to "Save the Reynard" we must
increase sales by a significant
margin.
Sales of the book
will
com-
mence starting Monday Sept.
~rd. Names and room numbers
of those selling books will be
posted in each dorm. Yearbooks
will also be sold outside the
cafeteria .
.
during the dinner hour
each night next week. The
number of copies sold will have a
direct bearing on the fate of this
year's Reynard, as well as future
yearbooks
at Marist.
The editors and staff receive no
monetary compensation for the
tremendous amount of time spent
in an effort to produce
a
publication which represents an
"invaluable investment" in the

memories of your Marist ex-
perience.

Please take time to write your
positive suggestions on a piece of
paper. We urge all students to
help us "Save the Reynard" by
sending their name and room
number with suggestions and
criticism to the Reynard Box

four simple steps to defend their
council so that it. may later
defend them.
1.

dorm they were to represent,
thus creating a vacancy.
The

Hop~fully, although

By
Pat Larkin
Former President Richard M.

.
.
a special guest

Saturday night in the
Marist College theater during the
show put on by John Kolisch,
hypnotist.
The part

by
Jim

he was Nixon pleading his
in-
nocence to the audience.

Kolisch, who calls himself the
world's fastest hypnotist
,
en-
tertained
·
a crowd of more than
300. The show, which lasted
approximately three hours and
forty
five
minutes was divided
in
half. Kalisch said he used extra
sensory perception
in
the first
half while in the second half,
Marist students were hypnotized,
then acted out post hypnotic
suggestions -given
·
to
them by
Kolisch
.
Kolisch demonstrated his ESP
power when he gave the serial
number of a ten dollar bill given
to him by a member of the
audience. He performed this feat
with a blindfold
.
and tape
covering his eyes
.
During the second half of the
show students who were hyp-
notized were asked how they
would spend $100. Some of their
responses were "go to Franks
and do shots of Jack Daniels and
beer chasers all night," "rent a
yacht," "buy a couple of cases of
scotch"
-
-
and "go
-
visit my
boyfriend."
Other highlights included a Mr.
America contest featuring eight
Marist students yYing for the
title, a karate expert giving an
exhibition, singing exhibition by
Diana Ross, and an opera star
performing "Please
give
me
back my bellybutton."

Visitors from Venus were on
stage to give the audience the
sleeping, eating and sexual
habits of creatures from Venus
.
The final scene featured a pair
of imaginary X-ray glasses given
to the hypnotized students. They
looked into the audience, oc-
casionally making a request for a
member of the audience to stand
up so they could get a better look

Grant for
handicapped
By
Margaret Schubert
Marist has been selected by the
Nathional Science Foundation, to
receive a $40,000 grant, enabling
handicapped high school students
to explore the option of a career
in science.
.
Under the leadership of Dr.
Robert Rehwoldt, head of
Marist's
Natural
Science
Department;'Dr. Timothy Ryan,
of the psychology department;
Mr. Joe Hines, director of Special
Services; and with the aid of six
non-handicapped Marist science
majors, who will be trained as
para-professionals, twenty-five
high school juniors and seniors
from the eastern part of .. the
country will be exposed to the
science experience during the
month of July, 1978: The students
will live in the dormitories with
their assistants and their ex-
posure will include an en-
vironmental
science
in-
vestigation.
The Federal Government has
said there ~re not enough han-
dicapped people in the field of
science and Dr. Rehwoldt agrees.
He feels "many handicapped
people are encouraged not to go
into science because it's a ·
laboratory career and a han-
dicapped couldn't handle
it." He
disagrees with this reasoning and
adds "You don't know the extent
of your handicap until you try it."
. Labs-can be equipped to meet the
needs of the handicapped and
there are scientific careers which
are not lab dominated but do
require an understanding of
scientific methodolgy.
The goal of the program is
for'
the students to experience first
hand what science has to offer;
the students are being offered an
experience without_ commiting
themselves. The project is being
designed to serve as a model that
can
be
easily duplicated at other
post secondary institutions.

THE CIRCLE
Booters
will
face tough schedule in 77
By
Ralph Capone
Coming off their most suc-
cessfw fall season of succer in 14
years, the challenge for the 1977
edition of the Red Fox hooters
will be to improve on last years
accomplishments while facing a
tougher schedule than last year.
1976 was the year they won the
Eastern Collegiate Athletic
Conference title.
Marist compiled a powerful 14-
1-1
record, stained only by a
3-3
tie with Siena and a 1-0 setback on
a rain-soaked field in Nyack. And
in the voting to determine the
four teams that would make up
· the
1976
NCAA Division
2
playoffs, Marist turned up fifth.
At the time, some cited bias as
a factor in the outcome, but coach
Howard "Doc" Goldman pointed
to what could have been con-
sidered a somewhat lighter.
schedule for Marist than other
teams vying for the four spots.
PAGE7
So, gone from the
'77'
schedule
are weak teams such as Dowling,
and Bloomfield and gone · is
Marist from the CACC. Thus, the
Red Foxes this year, for the first
time, will be facing NY Tech and
sixth.:ranked powerhouse
Oneonta, with the Oneonta match
serving as the most crucial for
the Marist hooters who are
ranked 12th in the state in pre-
season polls.
"Doc" Goldman, Marist's head soccer coach for 15 years, instructs his players during a pre-season practice.

Gone, also, however, are goalie
Jay Metzger, mid-fielder John
McGraw and fullbacks Jim
Titone and Kevin McGhee.
Replacing these positions which
were vacated by graduation will
be coach Goldman's biggest task,
especially with that of Metzger,
who compiled seven shutouts and
a
0.79
goals-against average.
The netminding job will be
mostly. handled

prospects, returning sophomore
Rich Heffernan and first year
player John Vandervoort who is a
junior. Both have been playing
injured in pre-season .. contests,
and doing a good job save for
some errors that experience and
confidence, coach Goldman
notes, will serve as remedies.
As for the rest of the defense,
Goldman has had the good for-
tui1e of getting "very skilled"
freshman, most notably Gill
Ventoro, who appears to have the
top nod at the vacated sweeper
spot.

Intramural program expanded
By Larry
Striegel -,
Imagine yourself stanqing at
the foul line in front of
2,000
cheering basketball fans. You are
about to sink the crucial basket
which will make you the
champion. That's right, YOU'LL
be the champ, not your team.
This new twist is part of this
year's improved intramural
schedule. The main attraction
will be the finals of three sports
which will be decided during half-
time or preceeding three Varsity
basketball games.
The foul shooting finals will be
held
during
half-time
on
December
7,
when Marist plays
Hartwick College. The cham-
pions of the tug 'o war, an event
just added this year, will be
decided during the Trenton State
game on Feb. 18, which is
homecoming weekend. The two
best
teams
in intramural 5-man
basketball will square off before
the C.W. Post game on Feb.
25.
In addition to the finals at the
Mccann Center, Intramural
Director
Eileen Witt has
scheduled a dozen new sports for
students to
try
their luck at
during both the fall and spring
semesters.
Already in progress is flag
football. The game is different
from the regular touch game
played last year in that each
player has a flag in his belt, and
play is dead when the ball
• carrier's flag is pulled from his
belt.
Other new sports on tap for the
fall include archery, foul
shooting, tennis, racquetball, and

New sports for the spring are
tug 'o war, wrestling, wrist

Ms. Witt says a mechanical
problem has stifled the growth in

teams this fall while last year
there were eight.
Also, only four
men's and two women's teams
got their rosters in on time to
enable them to compete.
Ms. Witt says each student will
be receiving an Intramural
Handbook soon which contains
the year's schedule, and in-
formation on rosters, equipment
and rules for the competition. She
hopes the book will help students
get rosters in on time so a
