ed as the cause of the fire which
broke out on the fifth floor of Leo
Hall last week, according to Joe
Waters, director ·or safety and
security.
The fire began in room S07 at
approximately 8:39 · p.m. last
Wednesday, while the residents of
the fifth floor were participating in
a floor meeting.
Waters said a Marist security of-
ficer and a fireman from the Fair-
view Volunteer Fire Department
were treated for smoke inhalation_
and later released from Saint Fran- -
cis Hospital. No students were
injured.
Approximately 25 students were
temporarily relocated as a result of
the fire, but, according to Director
of Housing Steve Sanso la, cleaning
crews were called
iJ1
shortly after
the blaze and most of the rooms
were repaired and repainted by
Monday.
"Most of the students made tem-
porary arrangements and stayed ..
with.friends," said Sansola. "And
we did the best we could to find ac-
commodations for the rest."
Daly's position filled within two or
three months. An advertisement
for the position was placed in last
Sunday's New York Times.
However, on the subject of ex-
ecutive vice president, Murray said
he would first have to determine
the needs of the college and the
qualifications of possible can-
didates before deciding whether to
fill that position or eliminate it.
Much of the enrollment pro-
cedures for next September's
freshman class have been com-
pleted and Marist will soon begin
working on enrollment for 1988,
according to Murray. "We are
making the replacement of vice
president for admissions and

Henry explained that since the
walls in the room must be redone,
she is unsure if they will be able-to
return to their original room this
semester.
Sansola added that the·resident
in room 509 will also be relocated
since his room was on the same cir-
cuit switch as room 507.
According to Waters, the fire
was reported to the County Fire
Alarm -Headquarters by Marist
security within three minutes of the
alarms being activated.
Waters explained that for the
past few years, Marist security has
informed the county not to respond
to alarms on the opening day of a
semester unless the alarm head- .

quarters is contacted by Marist.
"Because there are so many peo-
ple, especially children, on the first
day of a semester, we have this
policy to avoid endangering
_
the
lives of the firemen by causing
them to respond to a false alarm,"
Waters explained. He cited an in-
cident from the past when a young
child unknowingly pulled an alarm
while playing in a dormitory open-
ing day.
.
. · ·
Waters added that·under these
circumstances, a security guard is
placed on fire alert in each building
and is instructed to call in if there
is suspicion of a working fire.
In this case, Waters said, both
Henry and the ~ecurity guard on
duty, Derek Sheriff, called to in-
form the dispatcher that there was
a real fire. Both calls were made
within a minute of the initial
alarms.
Waters, Sansola and Henry
noted the cooperation of the
students, housing staff and
security.
"It was a model evacuation,"
said Sansola, "everyone involved
carried out their responsibilities
well and should be commended."
Sansola explained that during
the fire and the subsequent in-
vestigation, Leo Hall residents
stayed in the campus center.
"We (the housing stafO met with
the students in four groups until 2
. a.m.," Sansola said. "I encourag-
ed them to call home so the parents
would hear of the fire first from
their children."

Job hopes dim for '87 grads
by
Susan Skorupa
EAST LANSING, MI (CPS)-
Thanks to the merger mania that
swept through corporate America
in 1986
,
student job prospects for
this spring seem dimmer than last
spring's, two recent national
surveys of company hiring plans
indicate.
Better technology also is making
it easier for companies to increase
productivity without adding staff,
Scheetz noted.
"There's an element of global
competition now so companies are
looking to do more with fewer
employees
.
"
quist agreed.
"Only three percent (of the firms
surveyed) expect a (business)
downturn, but some employers are
·
still cautious about 1987 because of
concerns about the economy, the
continuing
exportation
of
American jobs, the deficits in
foreign trade and our national
debt."

New Year's Eve argument

lll
by
'
Bill
DeGennaro
Sophomore Brian Keenan was
stabbed once with an 8-inch kitchen
· knife at the Dutch Garden Apart-
ments, Hyde Park, in the first
hours of the New Year.-
Keenan, who lost 24 pints of
blood before the operation was
completed, remained in intensive
care for one week at St. Francis
Hospital, according to Sean
Keenan, Brian's brother. Keenan
-
was released on Jan. 12 and is
resting comfortably
at
his home in
Hopewell Junction.
Charged in the stabbing is Juan
Lugo, 22, a resident of the apart-
ment complex. He and his
girlfriend, Kim Doria, 19, were also
arrested on charges of assaulting a
police officer, and they were taken
to Dutchess County Jail.
Lugo was charged with first and
second-degree assault, felonies, and
criminal use of a dangerous instru-
ment, according to Officer An-
thony LaRocca of the Hyde Park
police. He was arraigned in Hyde
Park court and ordered to jail on
$10,000
bail. Doria, charged with
second-degree assault, was jailed
on $2,500 bail, LaRocca said.
Doria was able to post bail but
Lugo remains incarcerated. Their
case is pending before the Dutchess
County grand jury. which will
decide if there
.
is enough evidence
to warrant a trial before a criminal
jury. The decision on whether to
hold a trial will probably come by
the end of this week, LaRocca said.
At approximately 2 a.m. on New
Year's Eve, Doria told Lugo she
had been harassed outside the
building, police said.
Keenan, who was with another
Marist student, 20-year-old
Christopher Falzarine, had just
finished work and was going to
visit a friend at the apartment
complex.
But before Keenan was able to
see his friend, Lugo appeared and
accused him of harassing Doria.
Although Doria told her boyfriend
Keenan was not the person who
had harassed her, an argument en-
sued and Keenan was stabbed.
Officer William McKay, a City
of Poughkeepsie police officer, ar-
rived at the scene and called for ad-
ditional help. McKay was attack-
ed
by Lugo and Doria when he
tried
to
restrain Lugo.
McKay was then assisted by
several other Hyde Park police of-
ficers and by patrols from the Dut-
chess
County
Sheriff's
Department
.
McKay was treated for scrapes -
and bruises at Vassar Brothers
Hospital, and released.

Marist has received a
$500,000
grant from the United States
Department of Education to assist in the planned renovation of
Donnelly Hall.
.
.
Renovation of the 29-year~old building
will
be extensive/accor-
ding to Edward Waters, vice president for administration and
finance, and will include replacing the outer "skin" of the
,
building,
rebuilding many interior walls and replacing the building's heating
system.
"We looked at a variety of things, and we even considered
demolishing the building and starting from scratch," Waters said.
"But we (decided to do this) to get the most square footage for
the money.''
External renovation
will
consist largely of constructing a shell
.
around the apron of the building. The shell will' be made of panels
and insulated glass, and internal walls will be moved out to meet
it, Waters said.
"A very general estimate of the final cost would be $2 million,"
Waters said. "We haven't done much with the specific plans yet."
Internal plans include replacement of some of the walls con-
.
structed by the Marist Brothers. The walls, made of lamenated sheet
rock, lack support studs and have deteriorated. They ~ill be replac-
ed with more modern sheetrock-and-stud construction.
Replacement of the heating system
will
also be included in the
project. "The old system is obsolete," Waters said. "We can't even
get parts for it any more."
The new system, which will include air conditio~ing, will require
that walls and ceilings be torn down so that air ducts can be
installed.
The
construction will occur in phases, so the building will not

undertones to the trip, the students
stressed

Everyone involved with the Lowell Thomas Center should feel
like a track star these days.
Ironically, as progress is made with construction of the Lowell
Thomas Center, chaos increases.
For those that thought the only tough hurdle to be encountered
was the pool under the building, bet you're amazed right now.
We are too.
And for those who thought the funding for the building or the
allocation of space inside the building would be the last problem
to solve before completion, bet you're stunned. We are too.
Another start to another semester has come and gone.
With it has come another hurdle, the lack of a certificate of
occupancy, the document that is needed to conduct· normal
business in the building. And it is not issued until the building
has passed all of the necessary inspections.
This has been the latest high hurdle.
Upon inspecting the building, Fire Inspector Don Murphy has
found problems that must be corrected before the certificate of
occupancy will be issued.
So, within the past few weeks, work that has been done once,
has had to be done again. More money and time has been wasted,
and faculty and students have been inconvenienced.
Ask the professionals who had to turn their cars into unprofes-
sional, temporary offices over intersession, or the students who
stood outside the Thomas Center waiting for a professor to come
out.
,
Still, when the certificate of occupancy is issued, the major parts
of the building will not be fully operational: And to date, the
building still lacks the final touches.
After this hurdle is overcome, a somewhat complete and semi-
operational Lowell Thomas Center should be ready -
at least
for.the Open House on Feb. 13.
But don't take your sneakers off, yet.

In contrast to the federal govern-

mittment to making higher educa-

At a time when the changing
economy requires more and more
highly educated citizens, we are ap-
palled by the federal government's
short-sighted approach and com-
mend the governor for his vision.
New York state is undergoing the
most difficult and far-reaching
economic restructuring the state
has experienced since the onset of
industrialization. Over the next
decade the number of jobs requir-

Specifically, we are very pleased
with the governor's proposal to
restructure the Tuition Assistance
Program
(TAP). The TAP pro-
gram has historically allowed
financially needy New York state
citizens access to a college educa-
tion. However, because the awards
have not kept pace with inflation,
there has been a continuing erosion
of applicants. To address this pro-
blem the awards for all students
must be increased.

Date rape
a growing problem of the '80s
by
Diane, Pomilla•
Mary is a freshman: She likes
college, is. eager to please, makes
friends easily and enjoys campus
life and the freedom that comes
with it. So, she accepts an invita-
tion from John to go to a party in
one of the local bars. Later that
night, John stays over instead of
driving home, and forces himself
on Mary, despite her refusal.
Mary . has become a victim of
date rape ..
The above situation, although
hypothetical, illustrates the lack of
understanding of a large problem
on college campuses today
~
date
rape.
Barbara Hynes, assistant direc-
tor of housing, said that date rape,
defined as forced sexual intimacy,
is a subject people know little
about.
"The majority of women this
· happens to do not know they have
been raped;" Hynes said.
. Date rape has been defined as an
occurrence that happens during or
after a planned social engagement.
Acquaintance rape occurs between
two people who know each other,
such as a casual friend, an uncle or
a father.
There is a direct link between
starting college and becoming a vic-
tim of date rape, according to
Steven Grundy, a social worker
with· the Crime Victims Assistant
campus
inquirer
Timothy Biskupiak, junior.
Yes, I
believe that the way the news media•'.
handled the racial incidents at:-
Howard Beach was at its best in-
ept and at its worst it was inflam-
matory. The media's handling of
the incident was another example
of their sensationalism-seeking.
Doesn't anything but racial warfare
occur at Howard Beach? I think
the media would rather not have us
think so.
D. McCarthy, security guard. Yes,
people are disturbed by all the
media information given.

helped to bring' out the issue of
racism even more.

don't think there-has.been;a,lot of
racial tension because of the inci-
dent, although there has been a lot
of media coverage.
James
Selby,
senior.
Yes, I feel the
media coverage has affected the
metropolitan community, and
other
areas
of the city, tremendous-
ly. The racial tension resulted in
violent acts among white and black
ethnic groups, as well as economic
and political issues being raised.
'Do you think the
media coverage of the
incident at Howard
Beach has affected
racial tension?'
Mark Sbamley, senior.
Yes, the
media isn't giving a lot of facts and
the city officials aren't helping the
situation at all. They're not giving
both sides of the story.
Ron McCants, senior.
Yes, the
media is printing the facts. The ten-
sion is coming from tha fact that
the court is not doing anything to
correct the problem, and the media
is bringing out the negative publici-
ty about the two blacks involved.
Program at Saint Francis Hospital.
"College students need· to be
aware oftheir new environment,"
· Grundy said. "Students also need
to develop statements about their
own sexuality."
Hynes recently attended a Cam-
pus Crime Workshop in Louisville,
Ky., and is trying to develop a pro-
gram especially geared for
freshmen, who may be more
vulnerable, away from home for
the first time.
"Even if she said yes earlier in
the evening, if a girl says no at the
moment, and the man continues, it
is rape," Hynes said. "Intoxication
is no excuse. Alcohol and drugs are
involved in a large percentage of
date rapes."
Victims are urged to turn to pro-
grams and services designed to help
them; including RA's, counseling
services and the hospital.
"Get medical help, even if you
don't want to report it," said
Grundy.
"If
you do decide to
report the rape, don't bathe or
change your clothes. Seek medical
help no matter what, because you
may have internal injuries."

Assistance Program is open Mon-

The scenario: Late in the game,
Drafton Davis steaJs the ball at half
court and tosses an alley-oop pass
which climaxes in a thundering
slam dunk by Miroslav Pecarski.
The crowd roars as Marist races to
a IO-point
.
lead and a victory
despite trailing by nine early in the
second half.
For the first time this season,
that scene, so familiar with last
year's 19-12 NCAA Tournament
team, became a reality.
Last Saturday, before 2,908 fans
at McCann, Marist erased a 33-24
second-half deficit to defeat Robert
Morris 63-52 in an ECAC Metro
Conference game.
The Red Foxes (7-9 overall, 4-1
ECAC Metro), who lost to
Cleveland State 52-49 Jan. 20 at the
Meadowlands, played Fairleigh
Dickinson yesterday in a battle for
the first place in the ECAC Metro.
Results were unavailable at press
time.
Marist will host ECAC Metro
foe St. Francis (Pa.) this Monday
in a game rescheduled from Jan.
22
due to inclement weather. Mon-
mouth will visit McCann for a
Wednesday night matchup. Game
time for both contests is 7:30 p.m.
Last Saturday, the Red Foxes
rekindled thoughts of last year's
squad after they used a comeback,
a trademark of the 1985-86 edition
seemingly absent this year, to
defeat the Colonials.

·
Junior center Rik Smits and
junior point guard Drafton Davis
led Marist's second-half surge
down Memory Lane.
Smits, who has averaged 22.2
points per game since his return to
action Jan. 3, scored a game-high
23 points and snared
11
rebounds,
also a game high. Smits hit seven
of eight free throws in the second
half after missing each of his four
attempts from the charity stripe in
the opening 20 minutes.
Davis returned to vintage form
after being hampered by a hip in-
jury for three weeks. He registered
nine assists, seven in the second
half, and controlled the tempo of
play in the second half, a role he
performed numerous times en
route to Baton Rouge last year.
"Without Drafton we're a dif-
ferent team," said Marist Head
Coach Dave Magarity.
There
was
a different Red Fox
·team on the floor the first half.
The Red Foxes failed to score the
final 7:44 of the first half
as
Robert
Morris raced to
a
29-22 lead at in-
termission. Smits was the sole of-
fensive source in the first half for
Marist, as he tallied 14 points, giv-
ing him 1,001 points in his Marist
career.
Magarity's halftime speech to his
players was anything but docile.
"We were lucky to be down by
only seven at halftime," said
Magarity.
"I
believed we needed to
make adjusiments.
I
told them
if
we can keep them off the boards
and limit them to one shot we can
win the game."
Initially, it appeared Marist did
not heed Magarity's halftime in-
structions. When Robert Morris'
Mike Brunson sank a six-foot
jumper with 16:45 remaining,
Marist trailed 33-24.
The Red Foxes then scored eight
consecutive points. Marist grabb-
ed the lead at the 8: 12 mark when

Krasovec swished his second three-
pointer of the game. Marist did not
trail for the remainder of the
game.
Sophomore forward Miroslav
Pecarski scored 12 of his 15 points
and hauled down eight rebounds in
the second half.
Magarity praised the work of
his
defense in the second half. "Our
defense has reached a higher level
and we're waiting for the offense
to catch up," said Magarity.

The Marist men's and women's
swim teams emerged victorious last
week despite the fatigue of interses-
sion training.
The men moved to a 3-4 overall
record as they easily defeated Fair-
field University 126-71 in Fairfield,
Conn., last Wednesday.
The women traveled to Albany,
N. Y., and swam past the College
of St. Rose 79-54 last Tuesday after
losing to Renssalaer Polytechnic
Institute 148-102 Jan. 14.
The mermen will travel to Jersey
City, N.J. on Tuesday, Feb. 3, to
take on St. Peter's College. The last
home meet for the Red Foxes will
be Tuesday, Feb.
10,
when they
will host SUNY Maritime.
The Lady Red Foxes
will take to

-

ship, which is slated for Feb. 6-8.
Leading the way for the men was
senior Fred Dever, who collected
golds in both the 200-meter
freestyle and butterfly events.
The Red Foxes owned the
200-meter individual medley
as
senior Chris Chludzinski, junior
Will Masi and senior Vincent
Oliveto finished 1-3, respectively.
Chludzinski also added another
victory in the 400-meter freestyle
event with a clocking of 4:40.02.
Oliveto was joined by senior
Gary Schaefer, junior Dave Barrett
and sophomore Rob Fehrenbach in
taking the 400-meter medley relay
in a time of 4:26.36.

One might think that the 1986-87 season has been
anything but enjoyable for the members of the
Marist College ice hockey team. After all, the
Marist sextet currently owns a dismal 2-9 won-lost
record entering this week.
But one Marist iceman who has played well this
season - and h~ had fun doing it - is sophomore
defenseman Tom "Fridge" Nesbitt.
Nesbitt joined the Marist hockey club halfway
through last season. When several Marist hockey
players left school last January, Nesbitt asked
coach Jim Pcelor for a tryout. He's been a regular
at the Marist blueline ever since.
"I went out on the ice and skated with thein
once," the Plattsburgh,
N.Y., native.said oJ his
first day of practice, "We had a checking drill. I
fit in well with that."
No wonder. Nesbitt, as his nickname suggests,
is bigger than most athletes. A select few hockey
:
.:iyers
weigh more than 200 pounds, but Nesbitt
easily exceeds that total (he asked that his actual
weight not
be
discussed). His hockey jersey, design-
ed to fit loosely to allow freedom of movement,
instead gives him the Jim Burt-on-skates look. And
like the Giants' lineman, Nesbitt plays his game
hard.
Also, Nesbitt skates very well for a big man. For
enemy forwards who ~rry the puck past the Marist
blueline, Nesbitt's mobility is an unpleasant
surprise.
"My size works to my advantage because I can
skate -
that's one thing I can do," Nesbitt said.
"These guys look at me and say, 'Look at him,
he can't skate.' Then I'll go make a nice play on
them and they'll just look at me like, 'Where'd you
get that move?'"
And to top it all off, perhaps Nesbitt's most
positive attribute as a player is his attitude. To him,
hockey is fun. Even with his team's dismal record, .
Nesbitt has enjoyed playing hockey ihis season.
"We're playing club-level hockey; we're having
a good time," Nesbitt said of the Marist- icemen.
"When
J
go out there and play for Marist College,
I have a good time. There's no pressure."
"You always want
to win," he said. "But the
fun aspect is there. There's no pressure."
Besides his hockey commitments, Nesbitt has
played on the Marist football team for the
past
two
seasons, is the College Union Board's concert chair-
man and is a resident assistant in Leo Hall. He is
active in the intramural sports program, and he's
also thinking of pledging ihe Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity this semester.
When the hockey season and the football season
overlapped for a time in November, Nesbitt found
few moments of spare time. Somehow, he
managed.
·
"It took a toll on my grades, so I really had to
buckle down and study," Nesbitt said. "And it
didn't allow me the time that I wanted to keep do-
ing the outside things I wanted to do."
"If
I wasn't doing anything, it wouldn't be col-
lege to me," he said. "I have to
be
busy all the time.
I have to be doing something."
Nesbitt indicated sports-related injuries have
.
helped him develop his "have-fun" attitude toward
athletics.
"In my senior year in high school, I had injuries
that prevented me from finishing my senior year
of football and hockey," Nesbitt said. "It really
showed me that I've got to
·
apprec
_
iate a sport
more."
About hockey in particular, Nesbitt said: "It's
fun -
it's really fun. It's fun for the spectators
it's fun for the players, it's fun for the other team'.
We
have a really jtOOd time."

Some McCann microsurgery
by Paul Kelly .
- Ladies and gentlemen,- the
perfect Marist men's basketball
player. And you don't need an
Erector set or bionics.
The Circle's sports staff's crack
team of microsurgeons has stitch-
ed together the ideal Marist
hoopster for the 1986-87 season -
part-by-part.
And for the squeamish, there is
no· blood involved. However,
please don't try this at home.
BEST
HEAD -
Drafton Davis.
Anyone who saw him control the
tempo of last Saturday's victory
against Robert Morris knows the
·
basketball smarts he has. Slice off
the skin on his head and you will
find a pebble-grained leather skull.
BEST NOSE -
Miroslav Pecar•
ski. Get Miro anywhere within
three feet of the basket and he has
the best nose for the hoop, and for-
cibly crunching the ball into the
hoop,
in the the ECAC Metro.
When he dunks, he shows you why
arenas around the country adopted
collapsible rims.
BEST
EYES -
Peter Krasovec.
Pearle Vision Center and Sterling
Optical need not solicit this guy.
When he's hot, the Hungarian
Howitzer can fire the ball up from
nearly unlimited range. The cor-
neas of his eyes are steel rims.
BEST SHOULDERS -
Rudy
Bourgarel. Give him steroids and
a weight set for Christmas, and we
have a potential Mr. Guadeloupe
on our hands.
BEST
CHEST
·
-
Ted
Sharpenter. When he plants his feet
to take a charge, it is the definition
of a roadblock. He listed weightlif-
ting as a hobby on his fact sheet.
No kidding?

BEST
HEART
Matt
Schoenfeld. Would you exhaust
yourself to the point of collapse
each day at practice and be reward-
ed
with
as much yearly playing time
as that of the length of the average
MTV .video? His heart is about as
big as they come.
BEST LEGS -
Ron Mccants.
NASA
is considering using his legs
as
solid rocket boosters on the next
Space Shuttle mission. His leaping
ability must seriously make one
think about ordering one of those
"You Too Can Be a Skywalker"
pamphlets in Basketball Weekly
promising that ordinary stiffs can
dunk in three weeks.
BEST
ARMS
Rudy
Bourgarel. Here's a guy who, in a
pinch, could use his arms as
a
substitute for the Mid-Hudson
Bridge. You wouldn't have to im-
pose a weight limit, either. Every
time he dribbles, the Tartan floor
at Mccann becomes similar to a
golf ball -
dimpled.
BEST HANDS -
Rik Smits.
The ball looks like a Nerf in his
mitts. Shake hands with him and
you will feel a finger scratch your
elbow. Despite their size, they re-
main the most trustworthy source
of Marist points today.
BEST FEET -
Chm Green. He
looks like Fred Astaire or a contes-
tant on Dance Fever when he runs
the offense.

Thomas center after receiving per-
mission to enter the building from
President Dennis Murray.
However, students are not allow-
ed to enter the Thomas center,
Lahey said. Students wishing to
enter the building to see a professor
must first receive approval from
their divisional chairperson, who
will contact the professor, or call
the professor at their new exten-
sion, Lahey said.
Dr. Robert Sadowski, chairper-
son for the division of arts and let-
ters, and Dr. Onkar Sharma,
chairperson for the division of
computer science, had expected to
be moved into their new offices in
the Thomas center for the start of
this semester, but were delayed in
order to accommodate students
looking for professors during add-
_ drop week.
The move of the Beirne Media
Center, which was originally
scheduled to be completed two
weeks after the beginning of this
semester, is on schedule, according
to Lahey ..
Dr. vanderHeyden announced
this week that an open house at the
Thomas center will be held on Fri-
day, Feb. 13.
The official opening of the
Thomas center is scheduled for
March 14, and will be attended by
-Lowell Thomas Jr., son of the
noted· broadcaster.
Student leaders expressed con-
cern last semester over the college's
decision to hold the. official open-
ing of the Thomas center during
spring break.
Thomas, who lives in Alaska and
has donated $300,000 to the
building, will be in New York for
that weekend only, according to
administrators.

20 minutes and trailed at halftime,
35-19.
In the second half, Marist awoke
from its offensive slumber and
scored 31 points but still fell on the
short end of the final score.
Four Robert Morris players
scored in double figures. Joanne
Beatty led the Colonials with 16
points in just 28 minutes of action.
Marist was paced by freshman
guard Jennifer O'Neil, who tallied
12 points.
The Red Foxes parlayed another
strong second half into a victory
Saturday against St. Francis (Pa.).
O'Neil poured in 16 of her game-
high 25 points in the final 20
minutes to offset a 39-33 halftime
deficit.
Another key player in Marist's
second-half surge was freshman
Monica O'Halloran. O'Halloran,
a forward, exited the bench and
proceeded to score 13 points and
snare four rebounds in just 13
minutes.
