plained of a serious cockroach
problem. "Early this semester we
brought this dilemma to the atten-
tion of the Residen_t Director, the
Housing
Office
and · the
Maintenance staff. Effective ac-
tion has yet to be taken," Kissel
said.
Heywood said that he is aware
of the delays.
"I
want to move to
the point where we are more
responsive to students needs,"
Heywood said.
"I
definitely do
not accept the present system."
According to Tarantino, an ef-
fort
is
made to answer a
maintenance request within a
week. He went on to say that stu-
dent use and a lack of pride seem
to be major problems.
"There is a whole different at-
titude in the townhouse area,"
said Tarantino .. "Studeri.ts are
more· out on their own and should
generally clean
up
after
themselves.
No

is
housekeeping being done -
students mess it up again."
Tarantino also said that the ad-
ditional
$100
that students pay to
live in 'the townhouses helps to
offset the cost of air conditioning
and kitchen utilities. "This ex-·
. pense exceeds
$100
so students
should expect a decrease in ser-
vice," said Tarantino.
Heywood said that he felt
students were getting their
money's worth, because it is a
nicer ar:ea. '.'But that doesn't
dismiss.the fact that there are pro-
blems
in
maintenance,"
Heywood said.
· He · also
said
that
the
changeover in the physical . plant
has been a good one. "Tarantino
has been here only a .short time
arid
we've see
major im-
provements," said Heywood ..
Tarantino agreed that there
have been improvements since he
took over the position. ''Many
· things have gone by for a long
time," Tarantino said. He added
th.at he is in the process of hiring a
new
superintendent for
day
housekeeping operations.
· However, Tarantino said that
he needs more cooperation and
less interference from Housing.
"I
would like a review with Hous-
ing as
to
what they expect in
various areas and to justify it,"
said Tarantino.·
"If
I k'new their
requirements and my obligations,
it would clear the air."

three months ago that she could
not use the McC:ann because of
the IBM dance scheduled for
Saturday, Dec. 17. According to
Quinn, Lapham then tried to

that
weekend, but was told by Yeaglin
that
the students'
Christmas

Quinn said that he believes
Y eaglin knew she could not use
the McCann Center before she
met· with Lapham three fnonths
ago, and had already reserved the
cafeteria for the dance. Then,
according to Quinn, she waited
until just a month prior to the

Yeaglin denies having any prior
knowledge of the IBM dance or
that C.U.R could not use the

·General Manager of WMCR
Robert LaForty

criticized the
current state of broadcasting at
Marist's radio station. He said
that
WMCR
has

a
small
listenership because stud~nt work
at the station is strictly extra-
curricular. If advanced radio
broadcasting
students
were
required to work at the station for
grades, said LaForty, the quality
of broadcasting would go up as'"'
well as the listenership.
"New Paltz promotes
the
college by promoting its station,"
said LaFony. "Vassar has no
communication majors and it has
a better station than we do."
LaForty added that other college
stations receive funding from
their college, but WMCR gets
money only from the Student
Activity Fee.
"A college-wide commitment is
needed," said Norman, in regard
to building his proposed FM

station. He said the station could

4 charged in car vandalism
by Mark Stuart
Four Marist College students
were charged with third-degree
·
criminal mischief, a felony, in
connection with a Dec. 4 incident
in which two cars were damaged
at a local service station.
Stephen J. Davison, 19, of
Woodbury, Conn., and Robert
Man ng, 19, of Merrick, N.J.,
and two 18-year-old students,
whose names were not released
because of their youthful status,
were arraigned before Judge
George Marlow and remanded to
the Dutchess County Jail in lieu
of$100bail.
The four were set to appear in
court last Monday, but the case
was adjourned until Dec. 16.
According
to
Poughkeepsie
Town Police, an officer saw the
youths walking over cars at the
Inspection Store on Delafield
Avenue about 1:50 a.m. Sunday,
Dec. 4. Upon investigation, the
officer
found
that
a
1973
Chevrolet and a 1975 Oldsmobile
were dented and the windshield
wiper from one of the cars was
damaged.

Letters and Management Studies
divisions could work in
the
programming
and
sales
promotion areas.
The process of establishing a
radio station is a long and
complex one. A basic license
application -
Form 301 -
asks
the FCC for a construction permit
to build a station. This form is 30
pages long; it details personal and
financial qualifications and how
local
·
needs and, interest will be
served by programming.
At
this point, the FCC would
hold a hearing to address the
application. If a construction
permit is granted, the holder must
pass
transmitter
performance
tests before applying for a license.
_
The legal fees involved in this
were estimated in 1980 to be
$5,000. According to Norman's
proposal, the cost beyond that
point would be $15,000.
Should a license be granted, the
station can operate for seven
years before it must renew its
license. The FCC will halt license
renewal
if there exists
any
evidence that the station has
failed to serve the public interest;
an example would be a petition
from a citizens group opposing
the station's operation.
There also exists the possibility
that a would-be license might file
a
"mutually exclusive
ap-
plication," which claims that the
would-be licensee can do a better
job of operating the station than
the current owners. In this case,
the FCC would hold a hearing to
make a decision.

"sorry" and "thank you" more often. And
don't forget your professors. They are not
machines designed to blurt out knowledge
and slap you with a final grade; they are
humans with feelings.

Most of all, smile. You may be surprised

According to Waters, the size

squeeze, since they plan to have
various buffet tables and dining
tables set up as well as a large
dance floor in front of the band.
"With all that they are talking
about," Frank Scott, of the
Seiler's Food Service, said; "they
are going to run into some
trouble. It will probably be
packed."
Betty Yeaglin, the coordinator
_
of college activities, said that the
alumni dance held in the cafeteria
in
November had only 600
people, and it was "shoulder-to-
shoulder ." However, the alumni
dance did not use the new dining
room adjacent to the

Yeaglin said that with this room
open, the Christmas dance would
be crowded, but not unbearable.
In addition to the live band
Lovlace, which has played at
several

other Marist events in the

plan joint effort
by Veronica O'Shea
and Cindy Bennedum
A program in Spe'cial and
Elementary Education
to
be
offered by Marist and Vassar
Colleges has been approved by
the Marist College
.
Academic
Affairs Committee
.
The program, approved by the
-
AAC after consultation with the
Faculty Executive Committee, is
now in the process of being
ap-
proved by the entire faculty of
both colleges.
According the
Elizabeth Nolan,
director of
Student Academic Affairs, the
decision on the faculty approval is
expected by Friday.
If the approval is granted by
both colleges, the next step would
be• to submit the proposal to the
State Education department for
its
sanction.
The Marist-Vassar program
will
give students from both
colleges the opportunity to gain
dual teaching
.
certification in
elementary and special education.
Although the existing resources
are strong, both colleges intend to
increase their holdings in the field
of special education in order to
strengthen the program. Com-
puter facilities
will
be
in
-
corporated into the design of the
special
education
·
curriculum by
.
both colleges
.
Marist and Vassar both plan 10
increase their library acquisitions
in special education, and Marist
will add a
full-time faculty
member for the program.
With the approval of the
program,
Marist's
current
sophomore
·
c1ass will be the last
class to graduate with dual
certificaton from
.
Marist and
Mount St. Mary
.
In the new arrangement, Vassar
will
modify some of its existing
courses
to highlight special
education,
while
Marist
will
introduce four new courses as
well as a special education student
teaching program.
Currently,
Marist commits
$28,000
10
the maintenance of its
program with Mount St. Mary.
According to the proposal, the
estimated costs of the Maris1-
Vassar program which includes
the expense of a full-time in-
structor, will amount
10
ap-
proximately $38,000 a year.

. persons promoted at Marist in the •
. last year were female.
.
According to statistics from the
C_ollege and University· Personnel
Administration,
. nationwide
• private
co-educational
inc
stitutions have
a ·
21 percent
female and 3.S percent minority
participation' rate on their ad-
ministration staffs, whileMarist's
current . figures show a 44.S
percent female and 13.2 percent
minority incidence.
· Despite the national averages,
,· the task force found 'that "the
avaiJabi!ity of members of
protected classes in the labor pool
exceeds · the.· incidence in the
College's workforce." This is
most evident, they reported, "in
the faculty and administrative
staff areas."
In its report to Middle" States,
the task force said that Marist
does have an adequate statement
regarding Affirmative · Action,
but "it is clear to us .that the
results currently being produced
represent only minimal progress
as Marist continues.to grow in the
number of women and minority
students.''
The task force also concluded
that "it is critical that faculty and
total staff provide appropriate
role models for the students."
"Marist has a history of
inertia," the report said. "That
can impede progress unless the
president, in concert with the
entire
Marist
community,
maintains a high Equal Oppor-
tunity
Employment/
Affirmative Action profile.''
Dr. Eugene Best, associate
professor of religious studies, has
been the head of the Affirmative
Action Office- at Marist since
1976. With the changing over of
_the college from an all-male
institution, problems arose as to
how to balance the faculty and
administration, Dr. Best said, "to
. provide the proper role models
for women once the '.women
students
entered
Marist. ''
The vestiges of the all-male
· institution that Marist once was is
evidenced ·in a number of areas.
For example, there are no women
. among thedivision chairpersons.
Until this· year, there were no
female residence directors. Now ·
_Ryan---

never ·duplicate the services that
exist at the hospital.'' .
· LaMorte said that Ryan's
. opinions are global. "The present
health service fulfills the role that
it has been designed to fulfill at
this time," he said.
Another area that Ryan said
needed more attention is the topic
of
human sexuality. "I'm one for
presenting .education of human
sexuality on the vitalissues," he
said. "That gets down to con-
traception."
He said that ~bile employed by
Marist; he was · permitted to
answer questions on the topic, but
the school did not allow him to
take any active part on educating
the campus from a medical
aspect.
"There are people here making
choices every day who have no
knowledge
on
preventing
pregnancies or on · ·venereal
diseases," he said. "I was told
that I was not to approach the
college on either issue.''
Ryan also pointed out that
while- a small health fee has been
proposed for. the last few years,
which would improve the school's
health services, the idea has been
rejected by the school.
.
,
He concluded by saying that
while he was working at Marist,
the students were given adequate
medical care, but that "it could
have been better. I don't think
that it's all it could be."
Ryan is currently working at
Metro North Railroads in
Croughton, where he is opening
and running a medical fadlity.
One· woman's experience
by Caroline Kretz
Tera Jean Thomas is in a unique position.
.
She is a woman, she is black and she works at Marist.
What is
• unique about her is that unlike many of her
female counterparts at Marist, she is not a secretary, nor is she in
a low-ranking faculty position . .And unlike most minority em-
ployees at Marist, she serves in an administrative level position.
Thomas is the director of the Higher Education Opportunity
Program at Marist (H.E.O.P.), which provides support services
for educationally and economically disadvantaged students.
Thomas has been at Marist for six years and has seen a lot in
her years as a Marist administrator. "At the time I came, I was
the only black administrator," she said, "and since that time I
have know only three black instructors.''
"Marist seems to be saying that black people can only run
'black' programs for black people. The black administrators at
Marist are usually in government-funded programs," she said.
She gave as examples H.E.O.P. and the Upward Bound
programs, which are state and federally funded programs
respectively, with black directors.
"I don't believe Marist has a commitment to Affirmative
Action," Thomas said.
"We're missing something at Marist," she said. "Marist, and
colleges like Marist, claim that they cannot lure the professors."
When questioned about the chances for improvement at Marist
in light of the recent Affirmative Action Task Force proposals
and recommendations, Thomas said: "I see it as staying the
same. Marist has put their efforts elsewhere, and if they have to
stick to Affirmative Action guidelines, they are more inclined to
hire white females.''
Thomas said she was concerned about the lack of proper role
models for black students at Marist. "It is important that
minority students have these people at a college like Marist to
whom they can look up to and identify with."
there are two.
Among the
president's cabinet there is only
one female, Julianne Maher, dean
of the School of Adult Education,
and . since 19.79, all ,of the
valedectorians at graduation have
been female while all of the
commencement speakers and
most of the honorary degree
candidates have been fuale.
Another- area in which women
and . minorities are noticeably
absent at Marist is the Board of
Trustees. . Currently, there arc
only two ·female trustees. In the
Crannel St.
spring of last year, five new
appointments. were -made to the
Board of Tr_ustees, none of which
was a woman or a minority.
When President Murray was
questioned about the additions
recently at a faculty meeting, he
said appointments to the board
had "nothing to do with Af-
firmative Action" and were based
solely on the "influence and
affluence'' of those selected. He
did say, however, the board
planned to add female and
minority members.

The Marisc College hockey
team is sitting on a 2-5 record
with the first part of the season
ending this week.
"It's inconsistency,"
says
senior

co-captain Jim McDonald.
"The attitudes are there, we just

together."
McDonald
blames
some of this inconsistency with
the lack of ice time for the club.
"We're not a varsity sport so
.
we don't get any scholarships to
give away and we don't have the
money to by ice time. This lack of
ice time affects our team play,"
he said
.

game," he said.
He said he thinks the Foxes can
do well in its upcoming games.
"If
we keep the attitude we have
now," he said, "we should do
alright."
Friday's defeat of Dartmouth's
Green was a 77-66 walkaway. The
Foxes opened up their biggest
lead of the game with 12 and a
half minutes left to play, going up
52-39. While Dartmouth rallied to
pull within seven at 67-60; time
began to run out on the com-
eback.
The going was a little rougher
one day later in a three-point
vic-
tory over Rider, 67-64. Senior
Steve Eggink led Marist with 17
points, followed by Taylor's 14
arid John
Donovan's 10, though
the game was won and lost on the
foul line. Marist shot 17 of 24 to
Rider's 8 of I 9.
Ironically, it was a missed free
throw that helped seal the game
for
the Foxes. With seven seconds
left in the game and Marist ahead
by one, Taylor went to the line to
shoot two. Making one of two
would have almost certainly in-
sured
a
tie
and, had both been
successful, a victory.
However, Taylor
·
missed both
throws. The second miss rebound-
ed over two Rider players and in-
to the hands of Donovan, who
shot the game's final basket from
six feet out to put the tournament
title on ice.
Last Tuesday, the Foxes lost at
Fairleigh Dickinson 98-92 in a
game that included two overtime
periods. Marist hit 43 field goals
against FDU's 30, but was
vic-
timized by the home team's large
quantities of free throws.
FDU went to the line
55
times,
more than Marist opponents had
in the Foxes' first two games com-
bined, and
.
garnered 38
un-
contested points. Marist, on the
other hand,
·
had only 10 free
throws -
fewer than any team in
any Marist game so far this year
-
and managed six points.

In any case, little can be gained
by rehashing the whole affair.
''I'd really like to put it all behind
and get"on with the season," said
Petro, and it's a fair request from
someone in the midst of his
toughest schedule as a coach.
On the other hand, it seems like
a few issues should be addressed
-
for the. record -
before the
whole thing is forgotten like bad
midterm grades.
The decision to split the two
positions -
not necessarily a bad
one - ultimately rested with Den-
nis Murray. Gerard Cox said that
Murray, Petro, himself and the
board of directors were all "in-
volved in the decision," and if he
says so, I believe
it.
But of all those "involved"
people, one had the final say_. The
board . "reviewed" the decision,
but never voted on it. Petro has
said he didn't choose to be only
the athletic director, so his ob-
viously wasn't the voice of
authority.
And Petro says, "That'd -be
great, Gerry. It would sure take
some pressure off me. What do
you think, Den?"
"Anything you guys say is
OK
with me," says Murray, who
pours more brandy to mark the
occasion.
Well, that's not the way it hap-
pened. The dedsion to split the
jobs was made independently of
Petro, who then decided which
job to keep.
Another point: Could Petro
have choosen the coaching posi-
tion, or was it a case of choosing
either one as long as it was
athletic director?
From talking to a few people
who should know, and in my own
opinion, he could have had the
Enough about
that.
What
about the new coach (whomever
he may be)? A selection commit-
tee has yet to be formed, accor-
ding to Cox. The subject makes
for
interesting
conjecture
anyhow.
Cox said that the committee
would not be made up entirely of
administration members, seem-
ingly implying that someone from
the athletic department would be
included. It would certainly seem
logical to include someone from
Mccann.
But Cox also said he didn't
know if Petro would be on the
committee, which raises a ques-
tion: Who else would they want,
if not the athletic director and the
man that knows Marist basketball

Cheering is hard work,
Foxes
say
by John Bakke
Down on the basketball court,
dressed in red and white, they are
a visible part of every game,
. although they never handle a
basketball.
Unlike the players, though, the
cheerleaders carry pompoms and
wear - · with one exception -
skirts rather than shorts.
This year's squad is made up of
10 women and one man. It is a
young group -:-: more than half
are freshmen -
and an active
one. They put in
two-hour·
practice sessions three days a
week and before every game.
Angela Cimorelli is in her third
year as the squad's coach. She has
been involved with cheerleading
for most of her life, and is an
instructor affiliated with the
United States Chcerleading
Association. As such, Cimorelli
teaches
cheerleading
every
summer.
She said she is happy with the
progress and efforts of this year's
members. "I think the girls have
come a long way this year, and
we've gotten more support for the
program," she said, and cited· the
face chat 55 girls auended the first
meeting for tryouts.
The coach said there are still
more things the group could do
with more resources. "It's tough
without our·own band," she said.
"Also, we could really use more
guys -
we could do so much
more with a few
on
the team."
Cimorelli is a tough coach, one
who works her people hard,
according to many in the group,
but her relentless push for per-
fection has its rewards. "The
compliments we get make the
hard work very worthwhile," said
Wendy Pryor, a freshman from
Levittown, Long Island.
That sentiment was echoed by
freshman Pisamai Jaigla, among
others. "It's a-lot of hard work,"
she said, "but it's worth it.
Putting in the time and then
seeing it pay off gives you a sense
of accomplishment."
Pryor was part of che football
cheering group as well, and she
said basketball cheering is very
different. "We only did the home
games in football," she said.
"And mostly, during the football
season, we got ready for the
basketball season."
Both the crowd and the players
play a part in the cheerleaders'
efforts. "We get good crowd
participation," said Cimorelli. "I
chink it's improved 100 percent."
Marist's cheering troupe does a
_ loc of traveling to road games -
more than most college's squads.
They have been at all three road
games so far this year, including
Notre Dame.
If
there's any area where the
group could use more support,
said some, it is from the athletic
department. "We ·get absolutely
no cooperation,"
said one
cheerleader. "We just get shoved
under the carpet sometimes."
Some of that, they said, could
result from the attitude towards
cheerleading at the college. "The
school is indifferent towards us,"
said another.
"There's no
prestige in being a cheerleader
here."
Gai Poe, the squad's manager,
said the contributions to the
basketball team are just as im-
portant as the cheerleaders' i;o!es
in stirring up a crowd. "We're
here
to
cheer them on," she said.
"It's especially good on the
road," said Poe. "There usually
isn't much of a Marist crowd to
support them, and we're a lot
better than having no one to cheer
them on."
Don Kelbick,
one of the
assistant basketball coaches, is
also the cheerleaders' advisor. He
said the team is aware of the
cheering efforts and appreciates
them. "They're great to have
behind you on the road," he said.
«Any support you can get is
appreciated."
