Foy: 'A drinking schedule'
By Larry Striegel
President Linus
R.
Foy called
it "just a drinking schedule"
when he met with 21 student
leaders last February
.
He was referring to the present
schedule which he said was the
cause of some of the problems the
21 · had presented to
him
when
they walked into
.
his office
February 21 while 300 cheering
students stood outside to offer
support.
At the time the 21 gave Foy a
list of seven demandsand warned
of a student strike of classes if
they did not see changes within
the week.
When Foy met with the 21 he
said, "There's a growing feeling
. that alcohol is
to
blame for the
troubles in the dorms." He said
the schedule was partially
responsible.
.
He said many resident students
use free periods on Tuesday to
have parties instead of studying.
"This is just a drinking schedule,
that's the other side of the coin,"
he said.
'Not our Intent'
When asked if the new schedule
was designed to stop students
from having
·
parties on Tuesday
nights, Registrar John Dwyer
said: "That's not the intent. We
have a number of governing
factors. We don't have the luxury
of having an empty building on
Wednesdays," he said.

Registrar John Dwyer.
Dwyer said
in
some ways the
new schedule will be more
flexible than the one used now.
He said students may be able to
schedule classes on certain days
and have others off, or schedule
all classes during the morning or
afternoon in case of a job.
He said he would make sure
there would be no required
classes on Saturdays. He said the
· slot has been proposed for
elective classes for students who
are interested
in
taking a class on
Saturdays.
"I doubt the slot will be used for
much," he said.
"It
would cost us
more to operate the building if
many classes were scheduled

at
that time."
Dwyer said different sections
of required courses would be

students.

The question whether the
Marist College Student Govern-
ment (S.G
.
) should pay the entire
$12,000 expense deficit for the
yearbook will be decided at a
meeting
·
scheduled to be held
sometime this week between S.G.
Treasurer Frank Biscardi,
Assistant Dean of Students Fred
Lambert, and Business Director
Anthony Campilii, according to
S.G. President, Jeff Blanchard.
Although S.G. has agr~d
·
to
gradually pay off the deficit due
to negligence in overseeing how
the Reynard's funds were spent,
Blanchard believes the Business
.
Office, which has the ultimate
say in yearbook expenditures,
should also share the respon-
sibility. For the past 12 years the
Reynard has failed to collect
from advertisers and to sell
enough books to the student body.
"It
seems to be a shame that
the present S.G. budget has to
bear the sins of those who have
gone before
us,"
said Blanchard.
Blanchard
also
believes
student activity fees providing
for campus clubs
-
should not
compensate for past S.G.
mistakes.
"The meeting will hopefully
work out a process that will be '
·
augmentable to both sides that
will not unduly put pressures on
the budgets," he said.

. Ma.tist · loses
court case
By
Alan Jackson
The
$6,000
in back pay is due to
former residence
advisors
(R.A.'s) and residence coor-
dinators (R.C.'s) in a decision
handed down by a N.Y. Federal
District Court judge.
The decision, on June 29th, by
Judge Lawrence Pierce involves
about
30
students from
1971-72,
according to Marist Business
Manager Anthony Campilii.
The Circle reported last April,
· the judge was in the process of
. deciding
if
R.A.'s and R.C.'s are
covered by the Fair Labor Act in
a case brought against Marist by
the N.Y. State Board of Labor.
However,
these
former
students have yet to be paid.
Campilii explained the court has
not yet ordered the college to do
so, and the money has been held
in reserve. When so ordered,
Marist will give the money to the
court and it will be distributed to
those students.
Present students will not be
affected by the ruling.
The main question in the case
was whether R.A.'s and R.C.'s
were 24 hour employees at
Marist. Campilii had earlier
contended they have respon-
sibilities, but are not on duty 24
hours a day. It is not a nine to five
job or an hour and
a quarter
here or there he added. "In
essence, they're student leaders
of underclassmen. Conceptually,
what it's supposed to be. is a
learning experience, a valuable
experience, one cut above other
jobs," he said.
R.A.'s are assigned hours, by
the residence director, in which
they must make themselves
available to other students.
Students get
300G
By Beth Weaver
More than $300,000 is projected
to
be
awarded to Marist students
in the form of Marist - Grants,
according to Mr. Gerald Kelly,
director of financial aid. Ap-
proximately 405 students are
receiving some type of
Marist
scholarship. The amount of
money awarded ranges from
$200
to $5,000, with the average award
being
$850.
Kelly said in the past, there has
been an increase in the amount of
, Marist dollars given out. "You
have to offer a more lucrative
financial aid program," he said.
Kelly said the admissions office
sets the criteria for the
scholarships, which are deter-
mined on the basis of financial
need and - or the student's ex-
pected potential to contribute to
the college.
Students do not have to reapply
each year, unless they are
filing
for more money or for longer
than ilie four year maximum
period. Upperclassmen may
apply for a scholarship, although
few do.
According to
Kelly
up-
perclassmen have received the
same amount of money as last
year. "Scholarships are given out
mainly as "a recruiting tool,"
said Kelly.
There are two requirements
which must
be
met to continue
receiving the grant. One is
to
remain a full-time . student
(taking
12
credits); and the other
is
to maintain a 2.0 cumulative
index,
According to Kelly,
if
a fresh-
man gets lower than a 2.0 his first
semester, the scholarship is not
taken from him, but if the student
has
not
achieved a 2.0 after the
second semester, the student
loses his scholarship.

SG
to rewrite constitution
By Jimmy Perez
The student government
constitution of Marist College will
be rewritten, according to
Student Government President
Jeff Blanchard.
He said the need to review
board and committee functions
are the main reasons the con-
stitution will ,be rewritten.
The S.G. president plans to
have the -constitution rewritten
by the end of February, ap-
proximately one month before SG
elections are held.
;
Blanchard said he wants to
combine the ticket board, which
consists of three students who
reviews parking ticket appeals,
with the judicial board. Blan-
chard said he wants to
fonn
a
Student Senate to share the work
of the policy board. Blanchard
added he also wants to open
communication channels bet-
ween the committees and boards
on campus.
"We intend to do a lot of
research such as comparing our
constitution with city govern-
ments and other schools."

A timely issue
What cou,ld be the biggest issue of the year
is upon us. While it was shot down last year
by student representatives, this year it has
been indicated that the
·
schedule will
probably be accepted.
Student leaders who have spoken in-
formally with The Circle seem to favor the
new schedule proposal.
They say it will make a mature atmosphere
for
·
the college.
Tuesday nights with
everybody at Frank's will probably become a
memory if itgoesthrough.
Really that's the issue here.
Will Marist become a more academic at-
mosphere where students migpt have to see
the same teacher three times a week? Or will
students cry foul and put the proposal away
for next year?
Academic Dean Louis Zuccarello told The
Circle he wants student input although he
will make the final decision.

Phiny the Younger

governor in Asia Minor. His reign was checkered
with unrest. In a letter of explanation to the
Emperor Trajian, he places much of the blame
on a group of people called "Christians." He
wrote: "The m_ethod I have observed those who

restrain its progress."

Nineteen hundred years later small groups
continue to meet and challenge themselves with

Austin, 34, says the increased
emphasis on rowing will make
American oarsmen more com-
petitive with athletes from
Europe where the sport enjoys
much more popularity_
Austin's first experiences with
rowing came at the age of
14
when he was a lifeguard in
his
native Atlantic City. He and other
guards took part
in 26 mile-long
races using the kind of boats most
of us think of when we hear the
word rowing.
Later he joined the Viking
Rowing Club
in
Atlantic City and
got
his
first lessons in the
technique of competitive rowing.
He later enrolled at Trenton
State (N.J.) College where he
was a member of the varsity

swimming and tennis teams, and
in his senior year played on the
school's national championship
soccer team.
In
1965
he graduated with a
B.A. in health and physical
education, and moved on to the
University of Indiana where he
earned his
M.S.
in physical
education a year later.
He came to the Hudson Valley
in the fall of
1966
to teach physical
education at Poughkeepsie High
School and to coach its rowing
and swimming teams
.
Three
year~ later he moved over to
Marist to
teach
physical
education and become head of the
rowing program.
He says he took the post of
alumni director last year at
Marist "because it was a
challenge.
"It
was a lot of work to get
started, but I think I'm used to
working with a challenge.
It
was
a chance to head
_
my own area
and to advance
in
the college." In
June he completed work for his
professional diploma in ad-
ministration from Southern
Connecticut College.
Austin, who lives

with his wife Jane and their
children Kim, 7, and Bill, 4, says
he misses the coaching aspect of

chance during the summer
rowing camp he conducts at

Bruce TV quits contract
By Susan
Stepper
A television antenna service,
which has been renting equip-
ment to resident students during
the past two years, ended its
contract with Marist on Sept. 15
because it has been unable
"to
get cooperation from the
college," according to its owner.
Early in September, employees
of
Bruce
Television,
a
Poughkeepsie based antenna
service, were told to leave
campus by Marist security.
According to Fred Lambert,
assistant dean of students, the
Bruce employees were allegedly
using pass keys to enter dor-
mitory rooms under the guise of
checking- wires.

Housing
agreements
By
Margaret Schubert
An
undetermined number of
students have not signed their
housing agreement contracts
because when room reservations
were made the contracts had not
come in yet, or because of the late
arrival of the former Bennett
students.
According to
Ms.
Claire Burke
of the housing department those
who haven't signed their con-
tracts are in no danger of being
evicted from their rooms, "it's
not their fault they haven't
signed," she said.
.
She added the housing ,office
staff is going through the files
t,o
determine which students have
not signed. They also are waiting
for the list of the students'
P.O.
box numbers. When the box
numbers are in, the contracts
will
be forwarded, she said.
"The housing agreement more
or less gives the student the
added knowledge of the norms of
the college - more information for
the students benefit,"
Ms.
Burke
said. She affirmed that it has
nothing to do with room reser-
vations and therefore students
cannot be asked to vacate their
rooms because they hadn't
signed the contract.

week.end
By Ellen Rakow
Approximately 600 alumni are
expected to attend homecoming
weekend beginning tomorrow.
In past years, turnouts have
been dwindling. However, Mr.
John Carberry, of the alumni
affairs association, expects the
largest turnout ever for an
alumni weekend. "The purpose
behind having the weekend on
such a large scale, is to facilitate
the education and recreation of
alumni. It is also an opportunity
for the alumni to help support
their alma mater."
Carberry said a . tennis and
splash party are planned for
Friday from 8-10 p.m. which will
show the alumni the new
facilities available to the present
Marist
students. "Marist has
grown
in
a unique way, within
itself," he said. Carberry
believes the programs have
become modernized and larger
and the student body has evolved
as well. "The students are a part
of the makeup of Marist and
Alumni weekend will allow the
alumni to see in a vicarious way
the· effect the Mccann center and
other programs have had on
Marist," said Carberry. He
believes the improvements at
Marist will create stronger
feelings toward the alumni's
alma-mater. Carberry said he
hopes students will make
themselves open and allow these
past graduates a chance to see
the positive affect the change
Marist has had on life and
education at Marist.

Lambert received a letter from
Bruce Television Sept. 15 saying
the company would no longer
serve the campus effective
Oct.
15. The letter did not give a
reason for notice of termination.
Bruce Yerks, owner of Bruce
Television, told a Circle reporter,
"We have not been able to get
cooperation," from the college.
He denied knowledge of the
security incident. "There is no
truth to it," said Yerks.
Since that time employees of
the company have not returned to
the campus to retrieve their

cludes several large antenna

Lambert said letters and phone
calls to Yerks have gone unan-

received any calls or letters from
the college.
"We have. all of Bruce TV's
equipment," Lambert said. "We
would like to negotiate the
matter."
Yerks said he is also open .to
discussion and said there was no
reason his company wouldn't
return to the campus

the
matter could be resolved.

was given out in financiai aid
during the year.
Mr. Gerald Kelly, director of
financial
aid,
agrees
his
department did go over their
budget, but the funds "were
already committed".
According to Kelly, $303,000
was budgeted to financial aid.
Due to the projected deficit in the
budget, the board of directors
asked all departments to cut back·
15 percent. The financial aid
funds were cut to $?.83,000.
The "revolving contiquing aid
to upperclassmen" came to a
larger amount of money than the
departfnent had. The financial
aid department did not account
for the over expenditures, but
other budgetary matters · also
counted in the deficit, said Kelly.
Even with last year's deficit,
"we will continue to give. out as
much if not more" in financial
. aid, said Kelly. He hopes even-
tually there will be "more eguity
in distribution." Kelly said there
are "too many students getting
nothing" and having to borrow
money.
Kelly said there is a projected
bill in the New York State
legislature which will increase

Niagara starches

Brian Covney kicked a 26-yard
field goal with three minutes and

collegiate football game at
muddy Leonidoff Field on the
North Road campus.
Brannigan at the two-yard line
with 5:30 left in the third quarter
to set up the winner's six-play, 98-

Niagara was forced to punt
after failing to make a first down

an unsportsmanlike penalty on
the punt gave the Purple Knights
a first down on their 24.

The Vikings were penalized 165
yards in the second half and,
coupled with a tired defensive
unit, could not stop Niagara in the
second half.
"We can't win when we get 165
yards in penalties," said Marist
head coach Ron Levine. "They
