Service Director, Joe Lurenz, is due to
very large numbers of
students showing
up
for meals at one time.
·
Lurenz contends there
is
no over-
crowding problem. The seating capacity of
the hall is approximately 450. Lurenz said
the situation occurs only at the beginning
of the dinner meals, and seating becomes
available as the meal progresses.
-
Lurenz said his staff has been having no
problems producing the meals for the
large rush of students at the beginning of
dinner. He said he has not taken any action
to speak with students concerning the
problem.
Two factors have contributed to the
crowding. The first is the additional 150
living on campus who subscribe to the
plan, and second is thaf "more people are
eating more meals, perceQtage wise,"
according to Lurenz.
.
The director suggested that students will
have to eat later to apportion the amount
at a meal at any time, during the hour and
forty-five minute time slot for the dinner
meal. He said he has not considered

cafeteria crowding.

Alcohol policy set

of students. Beginning thil:
semester only trained and ap-
proved bartenders will be able to
serve alcohol at social functions.
Lambert said this does not
1lrastically change the existing
policy, bu~ gives it a more
meaningful interpretation.
He
said the redefinition came
as a result of problems between
the administration and students
late last semester. Lambert said
after meeting with a represen-
tative group of students, the
general dissatisfaction with the
alcohol situation was given much
thought.
··1
wanted to look clearly
at the environment alcohol had
"reated." says Lambert, and
··My intent was to create a
normal social atmosphere." He
believes the revision in policy will
limit the amount of drinking, and
consequently cease property
damage which has occured after
social events when alcohol was
served
in
past years.
·
Lambert stated, "We are
trying to provide a certain
amount of adult education in the
social world.
If
a student was to
go to a restaurant or nightclub he
would be expected to pay for each
drink. The new policy includes
paying separately for drinks
instead of a general admission
which was the case in previous
years."
Lambert also said after
identifying the problem last
spring he worked on a solution
during the summer. He met with
C.U.B.
members,
and
representatives
of
student
government whom he says of
-
fered no objections. He said the
responsibility • is being placed
with th~ bartenders, this being
the reason for the bartending
course. As far as drinking outside
of campus social functions is
concerned, Lambert asked
students not to litter the grounds.
He added that security has taken
extra measures to insure clean
up.
Although Lambert admits
questioning the monetary value
of the new policy, he said no
money has been lost. He also
said, ·•My attitude is at this point
positive. The feedback I have
received has been optimistic
.
"
He added, "Our concern is with
the tone of the campus." I am
trying lo provide an atmosphere
that is educational and also

Expenditures for the James J.
Mccann Recreation Center have
been projected at $215,000 for this
year, according to Ron Petro,
assistant director of athletics at
Marist.
The center plans to meet this-
cost with a projected income of
$145,000
for the year. This would
leave a difference of $70,000
which would be made up by the
college's budget. The projected
$215,000
does not include an in-
terest payment which pushes the
expenditures up around $300,000.
The interest is for a loan Marist
;;ecured for the center which will
also be covered by Marist's
budget. It is hoped that even-
tually the interest payment will
be reimbursed by fund drives,
according to Petro.
Petro stressed that this was a
··year of trial and error" and that
the figures given were only
projected and were subject to
change. Petro added that a
severe winter could contribute to
a rise in costs for the center.
'The largest single expenditure
for the MeCarm Center is $116,000

benefits, followed by $47,000 for

to the departure of Janet Locke,
Sandy Hirschorn and David

hiring of Himat Batra, Stephen

"With her teaching experience

Although he admits that the
quick change made his head spin
at times, Ritschdorff sees it as a
positive move

fact that these are people that

Maintainence gets a union .. .from page 1
Hennessy said workers began
talking about W1ionizing when the
McCann Recreation Center
opened in April of this year. At
that time five workers who were
stationed in different locations on
campus were relocated to the
McCann Center. The workers
were not replaced and others
wer:-e given increased duties.
Hennessy said another reason
for the union being adopted was
the inability of workers and
management to get along.
Several workers gave off the
record examples of trouble
between them and their bosses.
The union would not have been
adopted if the workers could have
gotten some assurance that their
manual would be followed by
their employers, said Hennessy.

By .Judy Norman
The possibilities of building a
communication arts center
a renovated boathouse, and
~
new parking entrance are being
considered by Marist College
following last year's completion
of the Mccann Center.
According
to
Business
Manager Anthony Campilii, the
site of the proposed com-
munication arts center is the old
gymnasium. Campilii said that
the actual building of the center
will
have to wait because Marist
presently lacks funds for con-
struction and maintenance.
Campilii
is
presently concerned
with funding the center itself,
"something that would give us
just the basics."
Although the cost of con-
structing the communication arts
center has not yet been deter-
mined, Campilii said
$25,000
has
been granted by the McCann
Foundation to renovate the old
Cornell University waterfront
property
.

visor Brother Niles Donnelly said
that the boathouse, upon com-
pletion, would
be
shared by
Marist with those local rowing
associations and high school crew
teams
having
no
rowing
facilities.
·
'
The remodelling of the
boathouse will include replacing
its exterior bricks, installing new
windows, and setting in new
launching floats for the crew
teams."
Brother Donnelly also men-
tioned that anchorage pipes for
the floats, sewage facilities, and
stone gabions would be installed.
A gabion is a cylinder filled with
either wood or stone that is sunk
in the water and used to protect
the floats from water erosion.
Built by Cornell University, the
old boathouse was formerly used
by the Intercollegiate Rowing
Association for various in-
tercollegiate crew races held
along the Hudson River
.
Besides the proposed
com-
munication arts center and
boathouse, Campilii also men-
tioned possibly using the filled-in
outdoor pool as the site for a new
north entrance to Marist. Ac-
cording to Campilii, the
$100,000
project will

These
groups were assigned two peer
advisors who would see each
freshman once
a
day for the first
two
weeks
,
and
weekly
thereafter;
a
staff advisor, with
whom the advisees meet once a
n1onth
,
and a faculty advisor, to
be seen between the third and
·
fourth week, after mid-term
grades are published and just
prior to semester exams.
The entire group
will
also meet
once a month to discuss any
problems that have come about,
along with any possible solutions.

LaMorte says,

the program will prevent a

there is something that can be
done if there are any problem-

someone, allows the freshmen to

At Homecoming Weekend this
year, the emphasis is on tradition
and student involvement, ac-
cording to John Carberry of the
Alumni Affairs Office. Carberry,
who has been working with
Bill
Austin, alumni affairs director,
for the past six weeks on the
event, said that with the ten-year
reunion of the class of
1967,
the
first big class to graduate from
Marist, plus the reunions of the
classes of
1962
and
1972,
a "new

of the new Homecoming Weekend
Parade.
The Homecoming Parade,
being held on Saturday, October
8, is open to any students, group.s,
clubs or organizations and a
$50.00 prize isbeing offered to the
group
with
the
best
float. The parade, complete with
marching band, will start at the
boathouse after the Alumn! crew
race and picnic and wind through
·the campus, ending in the Don-
nelly parking lot just before the
f o o t b a l l
game.
Campbell, who is working on
the event with Peter Baudoin,
Jeff Blanchard, Dave Ng, and
Bill Austin and John Carberry of
the Alimni Affairs office, said
"Something like this is relatively

are trying to do too much with too
little."
Lan-y Snyder, also a staff
advisor, is very optimistic about
the program. "It's a great idea,
making people feel at home;
making
it
easier for
the
freshman
to adopt to their new situation,"
Snyder said.
Snyder has spoken to all of his
advisees
and
is now trying to
have coffee with each. He says "I
send them a note
...
and we sit
down in the Rat and talk."
One peer advisor believed the
only problem
with
the program
was the time needed. He said
"It
was alright before classes
started. but once they got un-
derway.

just couldn't find the

responsibility lies with the Circle.

This week a Circle reporter went to

That responsibility, in theory, is the same
for all newspapers whether it be the New

bert asked the reporter to name his "source,"

to remain anonymous. The reporter
rightfully declined. Lambert then raised his
voice and said 'Tm not playing games."
We are not imitating reporters, we are

Neither are we. This is the real world.

Thoughts on Jewish High Holidays
Rosh Hashanah and Yorn
Kippur
-
the Jewish :"lew Year
and Dav of Atonement - are
unique· among
religious
festivals in all traditions. They
do not recall any
event
or per-
sonality.
nor are they occasions
for thanksgiving at harvest
timr. At the center of these
festivals stands each individual
huntan being, and the ob-
servance aims at achieving
greater
insight into oneself and
at
gaining
greater maturity.
Rosh Hashanah is the
Jewish New Year. The Jewish
vear does not begin with
i1ilarity
and fun. Instead the
mood is solemn
and
earnest. A
new
year
means a ne
_
w unit of
time. Time is the most precious
possession we have, for time is
life. Therefore, when a new
imit of time begins we think of
our life • its quality and
meaning. We think back at the
year past and attempt
as ear-
nestly as we can to confront
our failures and . sins. We are
asked to face them honestly, to
repent ourselves of our tran-
sgressions, and to resolve to
_ become more worthy during
-
the year ahead. The New Year,
therefore, is a time for self-
confrontation
and
self-
improvement. By doing so we
make each year better than the
p
·
ast one
s
we grow, we become
more fully mature, we reach
out ever more to fulfill our own
best potential. And no man has
a moral right to resign himself
to less.
·
The most significant · ritual
of the New Year is the blowing
of the Shofar, a ram's horn,
~
·
reminder of the ra·m which
replaced Isaac on Mt. Moriah.
-The
blasts of the Shofar signify
an alarm, a warning and a
hope.
The Shofar sounds
an
alarm:
there is an emergency
and _an urgency. Life is un-
certain.
Time is running out
for all of us. Do not delay - the
Sholar says - do not try to "cop
out", to escape your inner con-
flicts and
·
contradictions! Get
hold of yourself - face
your
problems - obtain insight into
yourself and learn to master
your weaknesses.
The Shofar sounds a war-
ning: are you choosing the
direction of your life - or are
you drifting? Do you have
a
set
of moral values as
prescribed by the Torah,. or do
you follow the way of ex-
pediency? What is at stake is
your integrity as a person -
_
and
the honesty of.your faith.
The Shofar speaks of hope.
The Torah says the Shofar
shall be blown in
.
the 50th
year, the year of the Jubilee, to
proclaim freedom for all,
masters as well as slaves. Jews
look forward to that time when
the Shofar will proclaim the
ultimate liberation of all
people, and the blessing of
freedom
and
dignity
everywhere. Then God will be
acknowledged as the true and
only ruler, and all people will
be united in serving
Him.
Yorn Kippur is the Day of
Atonement.
It
is judgement
day - th'! time when otir actions
will decide our future. We con-
fess our sins, and we ask for
forgiveness. But it is not to any
human authority that we con-
fess, nor can we obtain
forgiveness from any Rabbi or
other clerical court. The Jew
stands before his God.
It
is to
Him alone that he directs his
plea - it is only from Him that
ultimate forgiveness can flow.
We are human, and as
humans subject to failure; yet,
we· need not be failures. We
can return to the better way, to
God, and renew our life. But
we need more than repentance
to obtain forgiveness. We have
to make good the harm we
have committed wherever we
.
can. And before we have a
right
.
to
ask for God's
forgiveness we must obtain
that of our neighbor
.
whom we
·
have wronged.
Yorn Kippur is a
24
hour
fast and an all day service. We
refrain from all usual activities
and concerns - including eating
and drinking - and concentrate
entirely during this one full
day on our spiritual needs. For
thoughtful Jews it is the most
intense religious experience of
_ the entire
-
year.
Basic to these solemn
Holidays is the Jewish view of
man. He is created in God's
image, endowed with qualities
of intellect and emotion. He is
capable o( choosing
.
between
good and evil, right and wrong.·
Therefore, we are commanded
.
an·d obligated
to
choose wisely
and responsibly so that our life
may be a blessing.

educate as many students and
faculty members as possible with
what's happening in con-
temporary art jn America. He
also said that a " .. .fairness and
openness to all form of art is very
important" and he feels very
strongly that all artist's work are
displayed whether others agree
with it or not." An education
institution has to provide the time ·
and space for-various types of art
to exist, said Werenko. He says
that such a wide ranging
education is "essential to a free
educational institution."
With the growth of the Art
, Department due to the four new
teachersfrom Bennett, Werenko
-optimistically views the chances
of putting his ideals into reality.
He looks forward to a curriculum
featuring more varied art·
courses and possibly in the near
future, leading to a Bachelors
degree in the arts. David _Leigh,
Ron Collier, Ralph Della-volpe
and.Shirley _Kopple are the new
teachers from Bennett.
Werenko has no immediate
plans regarding the outdoor
artwork on campus now. He
intends no additions, and has no
intentions of removing ariy of the
existing sculptures unless the
situation dictates otherwise; Such
a· situation would
be
the con-
struction of the .proposed Com-
munications Arts Center, which
would. neccessitate the removal
of some sculptures.
Werenko has many plans for·
increasing the Marist com-

The lighter side I I - - - - - -
High school violence·
.._ _ _ _
by Michael Teitelbaum
My high school was so tough that you couldn't go to the bathroom
unless you had a dollar or a switchblade. You needed the money if you
forgot the knife. You needed a knife if you didn't have any cash.
We had at least two fights a week in my high school. Most of them
ended with one combatant bloody and unable to continue. Classes
emptied to watch and cheer their favorite.
None of the teachers would break up these hallway brawls because
the fighters would've started to beat them up instead.
One of the toughest guys at my high school was Marvin. One day a
friend of mine accidently bumped into him between classes and
Marvin almost broke his jaw with one punch.
But he wasn't THE toughest person in my high school. Joanne was.
She was so tough that the guys were afraid to fight her.
If
she had gone
out for the football team, she would've made all-state.
We ,veren't just tough in school. At our basketball games, the
principal had to call in the state troopers to keep order. During the
!j"ame the
troopers
stood at
attention, watching the game more than
1he crowd. But after the game, when the rock throwing and gang wars
started. the troopers had to call in the National Guard to keep
peace .. .rarely were they effective.
'111e situation at Marist is very docile compared to my high school
,_•11viro11ment. Here, the only thing which compares to my high school
is The
Grabber. He was the one who went after girls on their way home
from
the library. At my high school, there were grabbers all over - in
, he hallways, in classrooms, in doorways and in the back of the
:ibrary.
But the best thing about Marist is I don't have to worry about
,·a1Tyi11g money or a weapon into the bathroom. I never knew it so
tieaceful.

College Bookstore. (photo by Gerry McNulty)
Textbook prices raised
By
Ellen Rakow
The sudden increase of
prices
has made books a major part of
the cost of education. Tony
DeAngelo, who has owned the
Marist College Bookstore for
13
years said,
"in
past years some
books have gone up
25
cents or
50
cents between years, however
this year the minimum increase
was a dollar while some as much
as
$2.00
for
the same edition. I
challenge any group to come in
and check as many books as they
please. They will find the prices
on the· books will match the
manufacturers suggested price.''
Although the bookstore is
allowed to raise the book prices,
he said it was not his policy to do
so.
Mr. DeAngelo also said books
were
70
percent of his business,
but they were a built-in loss. The
bookstore's profit comes from the
other
30
percent of his store,
which is clothes, cards, art
supplies, etc.
With the publishers prices as
high as they are, Mr. DeAngelo
believes there is no room for
mark-up.
Mr.
DeAngelo's
cheapest book was Barons
"Descartes" When he ordered it,
for the fall semester it was
95
cents. When he had to re-order it,
it was
$1.25.
His most expensive
book was
$84.75,
an engineering
book for Syracuse University.
Mr. DeAngelo was formerly the
owner of a bookstore at Niagara
University. Teachers there chose
a book for a given course and it
was~ set standard f9r four years.
Mr. DeAngelo felt: if the same
book were used for several years,
used books would gain in value
and he could order larger
quantities of the same book. This
recycling of books would also cut
the initial cost of books.

idea of a gong show is not a first

"I've heard a lot about last

Because of Marist's small size,

Vikings salvage 14-14 tie
Last minute heroics Sunday
from linebacker Ron Clarke and
quarterback Bob Brannigan
earned Marist a 14-14 tie with
Plattsburg. With two minutes left
in the game Clarke intercepted a
Plattsburg pass and returned it to
their 11 yard line. After doing
nothing in the following two plays
Brannigan hit tight end Jim
Piersa with an
11
yard scoring
pass. The two point conversion,
with half back Steve Maschi
running the ball was good and the
Vikings tied the score.
Marist got the ball back one
more time, moving the ball well
when time ran out.
"The
·
reason we lost was
because the clock ran out on us,"
said
Marist head coach Ron
Levine. "We were driving again

if
we had
another quarter we would have

was the tough Viking defense that
kept them in the game after
Plattsburg held a 14~ half-time
lead.
Mike Ragusa and Ron Clarke
had 15 tackles each and freshman
linebacker Mike Overbye had
nine. Ragusa also made the play
of the game in the first half when
he sacked Plattsburg quar-
terback Jeff Budka on a two point
conversion try. He said after the
game the defense is as tough as
he thought it would be and he
would continue to count on them
to keep the Vikings in the game.
Marist's Mike Ragusa is about to sa~k Plattsburgh· quarterback. Play prevented
a conversion, and helped the Vikings salvage a tie. ·
Levine looked at the tie in a
positive way: He said .he was
happy with the performances of
both quarterbacks - freshman
starter Brannigan and his back-
up Dennis O'Neill. "In my 14
years here this was the first time
I could go with two quarterbacks
when we had to," said Levine,
"And
we did have to. Brannigan
had heat prostration, his pulse
was 120. The doctor

wouldn't let
him play and I wouldn't let him
in."
