Murray: NCAA decision is due this spring

The NCAA wil

April or May whether institutional
penalties will be levied against
Marist College as a result of viola-
tions

committed during the tenures
of former mens' basketball coaches
Mike Perry and Matt Furjanic,
President Dennis Murray said last
week.

Murray indicated the NCAA's
Committee on Eligibility -
a
separate body from the infractions
.
committee -
has concluded its in-
vestigation into violations involv-
ing Marist players Rik Smits,
Miroslav Pecarski and Rudy
Bourgarel. He also said the NCAA
has sent a report of its findings to
Marist.
"We know for a fact that this
part of the investigation is over,"
Murray said. "They (NCAA) sent
a list of accusations to the college
.
We're dealing with the same viola-
tions now with the infractions com-
mittee and should hear from them
within the next two to three
months."
However, Brian Colleary, Marist
director of athletics, confirmed an
NCAA official visited Marist two
weeks ago.
"He visited to wrap up and go
through the findings of the in-
vestigation," said Colleary last
week
.
"It was a IO-minute visit."
Smits; Pecarski and Bourgarel
were suspended

Nov. 28 by the
NCAA. Upon an appeal by Marist
and its lawyer
,
George Bisacca, the
three suspended players' eligibility
was restored
.
Pecarski and Bourgarel
,
who sat
out four games, were reinstated
Dec. IO. Smits missed nine games
before becoming eligible Jan. I.
Murray confirmed in an inter-
view with The Circle last semester
that violations under Furjanic in
-
cluded the transportation of Smits
and Pecarski to an NCAA-
sanctioned summer league game in
1985 and players using coaches
'
phones.
Murray also did not deny last
December that Perry paid the plane
fare for Smits' trip from Holland
in the summer of 1984
.
Both Murray and Colleary
would not speculate as to the in-
fractions committee's final deci-
sion.
However
,
Murray said Marist
would appeal any institutional
sanctions imposed by the NCAA.
"We will appeal to the full
NCAA council," said Murray
.
"We don't deny that there were
violations, but given the cir-
cumstances of the case we feel that
we handled it as well as possible

CSL seeks more communication
by
Julie Sveda
The Council of Student Leaders sub
-
mitted a proposal to the Board of
Trustees last week, calling for a revamp-
ing of communication on campus.
The proposal, presented to the Board
at its meeting on Saturday, cited examples
of ineffective and insufficient methods of
communication on campus, and noted
that as a result, "campus morale is being
replaced by a groundswell of campus
apathy."
•
"The school population has grown so
much, the things the school used to pro-
vide for us haven't increased," said Peter
Prucnel, student body president. "The
media we have to use is not state of the
art with the college."
Included in the CSL plan is an infor-
mation center to be located in the Cham-
pagnat Hall breezeway, at an estimated
cost of $3,000. The center would be the
main source of all information on
campus.
The proposal named campus radio sta-
tion WMCR, campus television channels
6
and 8, the bulletin boards and The Cir-
cle as all being insufficient in informing
the Marist community of events.

Hirsh to leave Library
by
Bill
DeGennaro
Director of Library Services Barbara
·
Hirsh resigned earlier this month, but will
remain at the library until the end of the
academic year, according to Academic
Vice President Dr
,
Marc vanderHeyden
.
Hirsh's resignation came after library
employees had expressed discontent with
the
library's
management
to
vanderHeyden
.
"There have been complaints in the
library about the effectiveness and effi-
ciency
of
the
management,"
vanderHeyden said, "but that has been
raised since last summer."
Dr. vanderHeyden would not confirm
that the complaints concerned Hirsh.
"It
would be fair to say," he said,
"that there have been complaints from all
sides about the other sides. But that's nor-
mal for any institution."
Hirsh, who said she is leaving for
reasons not related to Marist, said she was
not aware library employees had express-
ed discontent with her leadership.
"I
have no comment on that," Hirsh
said
.
"I
have opted to return to my old
position as a tenured associate professor
at Western Connecticut State Universi-
ty."
Hirsh, who has been director of library
services since last February, would not
discuss changes she felt the library would
require in the future.

N ew mall moves ahead,
but
still faces fight
by Linda Smith
Poughkeepsie's new Galleria
Mall is scheduled to open this sum-
mer -
but not without opposition
from some town residents.
Currently, several adjacent lan-
downers are working with their at-
torneys to form a court case against
the town board based on a town
zoning statute. The statute

owners petition against rezoning
six of the seven members of th;
town board must vote to rezone.
Last

spring, Save Our Town
fil-
ed a petition of 5,000 signatures of
Town of Poughkeepsie residents
opposing construction on the pro-
posed 129-acre site on Route 9,
near the South Hills Mall.
·
The
.
Gaileria's rezoning was ap-
proved by the town board 5-2.
Opposers also said the new mall,
created by Pyramid Developers,
·
will
cause traffic congestion and
destruction of surrounding residen-
tial areas. In addition, local
residents cited poor planning after
the developers decided to lease
space to retail businesses which
already operate in neighboring
shopping areas.
Among the 175 smaller stores in
the the Poughkeepsie Galleria will
be CVS, Kay Bee toys and Wilson's
leather goods and an eight screen
movie theater, which are already
located in the neighboring South
Hills Mall. Developers say the mall
will also feature major department
stores, including Jordan Marsh,
J
.
C. Penny, G.Fox of Hartford
and Lechmere.
However, the Galleria will not
include Bloomingdales, Macy's or
Lord and Taylor, which had been
proposed.
"It was a hoax beginning with
the
name
Galleria,"
said
Rosemarie Emery, consultant to
Save Our Town, an organization of
citizens against the rezoning of pro-
perty on Route 9 for the Galleria
Mall. "People associate the word
Galleria wit~
·
good shopping, like
the Galleria of White Plains."
The Pyramid officials said
Poughkeepsie needed better shop-
ping opportunities. Stillerman
Jones and Company, a marketing
firm hired by Pyramid, conducted
a shopping survey in April 1985.
According to results of the
study, 51 percent of Dutchess
County residents make eight or
more out-of-county shopping trips
per year. "Present Dutchess Coun-
ty retailing does not ~dequately

quirements,"

the mall.
However, Emery_
said
the new
mall will not be the answer.
"Even
after the maU is built people are
still
going to go outside the county to
shop," said Emery. "Shopping has
become a form of entertainment -
an excursion," she said.
Increased traffic congestion
along Route 9 with the opening of
the Galleria has also become a con-
cern of some residents.
Developers of the Galleria say
they
_
are planning to add an extra
·
lane, northbound and southbound
on Route 9, in front of the mall.
Still, Town Planner Roger Ache-
ly says the extra lanes are not a
realistic solution to the long term
problems the new mall will pose.
"Mall traffic will be increasingly
detrimental to Route 9 as a through
route to motorists," said Achely.
Opponents of the mall said the
Galleria could be detrimental to the
exisisting retail businesses
.
However, Bob Ungerer, part
developer and owner of the

John Corrigan, G.Fox represen-

new employees from the store's
temporary headquarters at the
Holiday Inn in Fishkill.
"We've had an extremely large

For Joe Bello, it was a date to remember

to
remember the dates.
''The reason
I
selected bir-

because everybody likes to have

said.
Bello
promised to pay $20 out
of his own pocket to any Cham-
pagnat resident if he missed the
person's birthdate by even one
day. Conceivably, he could have
lost thousands of dollars..
But when all was said and
done -
he hadn't missed a

·
birthday
by Michael Kinane
The ~ity of Poughkeepsie is
preparing for its 300th birthday
celebration this summer, according
to city officials.
.
The celebration will follow the
theme "300 years of people, pride,
and progress," said Barbara Mur-
phy, a planning advisor for the
celebration.
Many of the events will take
place in June, the largest a parade
through Poughkeepsie followed by
a fireworks display on June 7,
Murphy said.
"We're hoping for the biggest
parade the City of Poughkeepsie
has ever had," said Connie Smith,
one of the parade coordinators.
"We've had a good response so
far. We want a mammoth atten-
dance."
One of the groups participating
in the parade is the Creative Clown
Band consisting of clowns playing
toy musical instruments, said
Smith.
Another of the major events be-
ing planned is the Riverfest, said
Murphy. This festival will take
place
in Kaai
Rock, Waryas Parks
and the former De Laval property.
Over 200 community service
groups have responded and will
take part in the festival, said Mur-
phy
.
One group, the Brigade of the
American Revolution, will camp
out at the festival for both days and
fight a mock battle.
The festival will also have booths
with ethnic foods and live enter-
tainment. The list of the enter-
tainers has not been completed, ac-
cording to Mike Harris of local
radio station WPDH.
Concerts and other events in the
community are also being planned
for June.
The land on which Poughkeep-
sie now stands was purchased from
the Wapanis Indians in 1687 by
Myden Mense and Robert Sanders.
"Uppuqui-ipis-ing," which means
"the reed covered lodge by the lit-
tle water place," was the name the
Indians knew the land by. The set-
tlers then decided to keep the uni-
que name, and Poughkeepsie of-
ficially became a village on March
27, 1799.
Since its beginning, Poughkeep-
sie has been the site of many
historical events.
William and Andrew Smith
created cough drops in their
father's restaurant bringing fame
to them as well as the city.
Economic growth came to
Poughkeepsie when IBM moved its
offices here in the
1940s,
and began
to
expand into the surrounding
areas
providing
more
job
opportunities.

AIDS is topic of lecture
by Todd Jesaitis
Deborah
L.
May, a spokesper-
son for the Mid-Hudson Valley
AIDS Task Force, will speak next
week on the issues of of AIDS (Ac-
quired Immune Deficiency Syn-
drome) and its prevention.
The lecture will be held on Tues-
day at 7 p.m. in the Fireside
Lounge.
Scheduled topics for discussion
include: a review of AIDS facts,
methods for risk reduction, social
issues, and
a
video and open floor
period for questions and answers,
according to Jane O'Brien, direc-
tor of health services.
AIDS has taken more than
15,000 lives and U.S. Surgeon
General C. Everett Koop has
predicted that the figures will rise
to nearly
180,000
in the next five
years.

the
Outreach Educator
for the Mid-Hudson Valley AIDS
Task Force, and has made
numerous appearances in colleges,
hospitals and schools since
November 1986.
The Task Force is a private, non-
profit community service program
which deals with AIDS education
in seven counties
·
north of New
York City, according to Lesley
Stein, director of education.
It
is
funded by the New York state
Department of Health.
"This volunteer-based agency
provides AIDS education to client
service support groups, bereave-
ment groups, and help linkage and
advocacy for people who are seek-
ing information,"
said
Stein.
The Maris! Health Service and
Housing Office is
sponsoring
the
AIDS forum.
Marks said, however, that he is
optimistic about the future of the
restaurant and its ability to attract
students.
Betty Yeaglin, director of college
activities, who co-sponsored the
idea for the restaurant, agreed with
Marks, and is optimistic about the
restaurant's future.
The idea behind the restaurant
was to provide something different
for the students. The idea was
discussed for several semesters,
with the hopes that proper facilities
would beome available, according
to Marks.
The Courtyard Restaurant will
be a traditional restaurant in every
aspect. Offering selections such as
prime rib and broiled brook trout,
the restaurant will employee
waiters and waitresses.
Marks said the price is
reasonable for the quality of food
and service, and hopes to serve bet-
ween forty and sixty people a night.
If
interest grows, plans may be
made to have theme nights, such as
New England night or Italian night.
The Courtyard Restaurant is
open every Friday night, and reser-
vations must be made by noon
Thursday in the activities office.
The price is
$7.50 for those on the
meal plan and S8.50 for others.

Judicial Board
Students overhaul the appeals process
by Bill H. Weiss
The Council of Student Leaders
has completed
its
reorganization of
the Student Judicial Board and a
new appeals process has been
implemented.
Previously, if students were
sanctioned for actions contrary to
college policy, they made an appeal
to their individual house council.
Here's how
it operates
by Catherine McHale
Suppose you were found drink-
ing an alcoholic beverage in a
"dry"
section of campus.
Regardless of your age, such ac-
tion is considered illegal by Marist
College regulations (student hand-
book, pages
56 and 70).
At this point, you have two alter-
natives.
If
yoli believe that the
charges are undeserved, or suspect
that due process was not followed
(handbook, page 74), you may ap-
peal through the administration, or
the student judicial board.
If
you choose the administrative
route, you must follow an order of
succession. Resident students must
first
·
bring their cases to their
residence director.
If
you are not
satisfied with
the
results of
this
meeting, the director of housing is
your next step. Following this step
is the assistant dean for student af-
fairs, and finally, the vice president
for student affairs. As a com-
muting student, you would only
need to follow the last two steps.
\f
you choose to a_ppea~
disciplinary action through the stu~
·
.
dent judicial board, the following
are simplified guidelines illustrating
.
the procedure you should take
(handbook, page 74):
-
Within 48 hours of written
notice of sanction, written request
for appeal should be received by
the .Student Judicial Board.
-
The board will then determine
the merit of the appeal and judge
whether an appeal is appropriate.
-
If
decision is made to hear the
appeal, the board will respond to
student with detailed information
on how the appeaf will proceed.
-
Upon notification, the stu-
dent appealing his/her case must be
given at least three days time to
prepare for the hearing.
-
The Student Judicial Board
will set a time and date for hearing
and notify all parties involved
.
- The hearing procedure will be
as follows (handbook, page 74):
a. presentation of case by
.
complainant
b. presentation of case by
defense
c. questioning of both parties by
the Student Judicial Board
d. summation by complainant
e. summation by defense
f. deliberation by Board
g. decision by Board
h. notification of decison
Questions regarding appeal
policies should be directed to a
board member through the Student
Government office in the Campus
Center.
All cases involving disciplinary ap-
peals will now be heard by the Stu-
dent Judicial Board.
"One of my major goals was to
make a revised student judicial-
system," said Student Body Presi-
dent Peter Prucnel. "First we had
to look into the policies of the ap-
peals procedure, the methods of
selecting who sits on the judicial
board, and our third concern was
to evaluate the authority granted to
it by the administration."
"A lot of people aren't aware
that they can go to us, and as a stu-
dent board, it would be a fair deci-
sion," said Cathy McHale, a
member of the Student Judicial
Board from Queens.
The purpose of the Student
Judicial Board is to hear a case that
a student wishes to appeal.
"If
a student feels that a sanc-
tion that has been brought against
him or her is unfair, the judicial
board would review the case," said
Chief Justice of the Student
Judicial Board Rita Ramirez, 21, of
Millbrook,
N.Y.
HYDEPARK.
The board does not exist for the
sole purpose of reviewing
disciplinary sanctions imposed
upon students. lt also reviews pro-
blems that clubs might have.
"If
someone has a budget pro-
blem, they would call an appeal,"
said Tony Sirna, 20, a member of
the judicial board. "We would
have a hearing and then make a
decision."
A legislative body writes policy,
a judicial body interprets policy.
"We interpret policy based on the
rules of the school and weigh each
case separately," Sirna said.
.
The board is comprised of two
elected members, three students ap-
pointed by the Counsel of Student
·
Leaders -
including on~ com-
muter - and one faculty member
appointed by the dean of student
affairs.
"Our goals are to implement
some type of organization within
the judicial board and establish a
working judicial board. We are try-
ing to get something that can be
recognized and organized,"
Ramirez said.

Local agencies need volunteers
by Jean E. Clements
· You don't have to be a candy
striper.
Many
agencies
in
the
Poughkeepsie area need volunteers
to do a variety of jobs such as driv-
ing trucks, giving tours, tutoring
children, and even repairing 16-mm
films.
The Voluntary Action Center
located on Vassar Street in
Poughkeepsie, can be described as
a clearing house that matches
volunteers with the agencies that
need these people, according to
Professor Gus Nolan, who has
served as a volunteer board
member for the past seven years.
There are over 200 agencies con-
nected with the V AC, and V AC
. volunteers have worked at a varie-
ty of jobs such as identifying trees
for the Park Service, giving tours
at local museums, and helping with
sets and ushering at the Bardavon
theater, said Nolan.
Volunteering gives students a
chance to get some hands-on ex-
perience in fields that they might be
interested in pursuing after
graduation.
"This is an opportunity for
students who want to get out of the
ivory tower and get into the real
world," said Mary Moody, direc-
tor of volunteer services at St.
Francis Hospital.
Moody said that she meets with
l
each volunteer before they begin,
to determine what particular area.
of health care they are interested in.
According to Moody, it is
sometimes difficult to schedule
students to work at St. Francis, but
the hospital has many oppor-
tunities for volunteer work in-
cluding, transporting patients,
helping during meal times, doing
clerical work, and talking to
patients.
Dutchess Outreach, located on
Hamilton Street, is looking for
volunteers who are interested in
working at their "Lunch Box"
soup kitchen program, either help-
ing to prepare and serve food, or
to talk with the program par-
ticipants, said Caroline Morse, ex-
ecutive director of the program.
Morse said that an interested stu-
dent who has access to a truck
could make deliveries for the Dut-
chess Outreach's furniture ex-
change or food bank programs.
The Mental Health Association
in Dutchess County needs a
volunteer in its North Road library
to do shelving, photocopying, and
the processing of new books, ac-
cording to librarian Janet Caruso.
Caruso said that the library is
also looking for a volunteer who is
interested in learning how to fix
and clean 16-mm films because the
library has the necessary equipment
but needs someone to do the
project.

their means - yet they are proud
learned to adapt.
All volunteer experiences require
some training and commitment,
but some are more involved than
others.
Although it might be great for
students to get involved with pro-
grams like Big Brothers/Big
Sisters, Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts, it might not be feasible for
resident students since these are
year-round programs, said Barbara
Horgan, vice president for com-
munity resources at the United
Way.
Horgan said these students might
find it more practical to work with
agencies such as:
-Literacy Volunteers, where
they can work one-to-one tutoring
illiterate adults.
- The Salvation Army, which
needs volunteers at its after school
homework
and
recreation
program.
- The Red Cross, which needs
drivers to transport blood
donations.
-Grace Smith House, where
volunteers are needed for various
programs.
-The
YMCA,
which sponsors
an adopt-a-swimmer program for
the handicapped.
Another agency that is always
looking for volunteers is the
American Heart Association.

An .underdog team
continues winning
by Diane Pasquaretta
One of Marist's most successful
teams travels across the nation and
has defeated some of the top-
ranked schools in the country.
It
is not the basketball team, the
volleyball team or or even the
lacrosse team.
It is the debate team.
The team recently returned from
eight days of tournaments in
California and plans to travel to
South Carolina, Texas and Loui-
siana over the next three weeks.
Although this extensive travel
lends a certain glamour to the
team's image, its performance at
these nationwide tournaments has
been just as notable.
At a University of California
tournament in Los Angeles,
Marist, ranked 53rd out of 322 na-
tionwide, upset first-ranked Cor-
nell and fifth-ranked Oregon.
Marist's ranking in the top 16th
percentile, as well as its victories
over varsity teams such as Cornell
and Oregon, has been unexpected.
Marist, a novice team in
its se-
cond year, consists mostly of
freshmen with no previous ex-
perience. Yet, it has defeated
schools with scholarship students
having as many as eight years of ex-
perience,
said Coach
Jim
Springston.
The success of this inexperienc-
ed team proves that it takes hard
work and dedication rather than
experience or great natural ability,
according to Springston.
In addition to four hours of
practice per week, the students
must be prepared, at the flip of a
coin, to take either the affirmative
or negative position of the chosen
topic, called the resolution.
The resolution is chosen through
a nationwide balloting system in
which coaches from each team vote
for one out of a possible five
topics.
·
The chosen resolution is then
debated at each tournament during
the semester, said Springston.
In order to prepare for the
debates, volunteers and students
gather between 50 and 60 pieces of
evidence per week, said Springston.
Although Springston says he ex-
pects hard work from his students,
his coaching philosophy ensures
that the work is well worth it.
While traveling, Marist shares
hotels with students from across
the nation. "It's great, you make
friends from all over the country,"
Mike Buckley, the captain of the
team, said.
Marist will begin competing in
individual events this semester in
which students prepare speeches or
perform dramatic readings before
a judge, said Springston.

Progressive Coalition plans
to broaden range of issues
by Raeann Favata
In previous semesters, they mar-
ched and chanted around the cam-
pus; some of them were even
thrown in jail. But now they seem
to have quieted down.
But the members of the Pro-
gressive Coalition say they have not
run out of steam just because IBM,
Coca-Cola and other companies
divested from South Africa last
fall.
"We're not finished with South
Africa; more companies and col-
leges need to divest," said Joe Con-
cra, a senior from Kingston.
"We're not dead," said Alice
Chahbazian, a sophomoce from
Oyster Bay, N.Y. "We're still here
and the issues are still here; apar-
theid is still going on."
Apartheid isn't the only issue the
Progressive Coalition is taking an
interest in, however.
"Now we are also interested in
the situation in Nicaragua and we
have also sent letters to Congress
on Dr. Kayiira's behalf," said
Robert Hatem, a senior from New
York City.
Dr. Andrew Kayiira is a former
Marist professor who is imprison-
ed in Uganda on charges of
treason.
"Some of us in the coalition try
to attend the prayer vigils for Dr.
Kayiira and we keep writing letters
to officials to show that the con-
cern for him hasn't died down,"
said Cindy Lemek, a sophomore
from Tolland, Conn.
According to the members of the
Progressive Coalition, their main
objective is to promote global
awareness and present ideas to the
students at Marist.
"Our organization provides a
pool of information on topics
where Marist is lacking," said
Hatem. ·
The main project of the coali-
tion, according to Chahbazian, is
to organize educational activities
such as lectures and films in order
to show Marist students what is
happening in the world.
"I would like to see us have a
debate on the issue of Nicaragua,"
said Lemek. "That way, the cam-
pus can see what the Sandinistas
are doing and what the Contras are
doing and how they affect the
United States."
"Basically, we are gathering in-
formation
and
organizing
literature," said Concra. "You
have to educate people before you
can do something about an issue."
two rooms.
"I'm kind of proud of it," said
Mrs. Davis. "Visitors think it's
quaint and charming."
Although their life style may
seem unique to the average person,
and the idea of Jiving above a
boathouse 365 days a year a little
crazy, Davis said that this way of
life is common on campuses across
the country.
"It
makes for a better program
when the coach is able to keep an
eye on the equipment and is
available for the students," he said.
Mrs. Davis is content with their
home for now. "We both love the
water, and listening to the ice mov-
ing down the river is Mother
Nature at her best."

Starting from the top
It's not the flyers, the bulletin boards or the radio station. And
a $3,000 communications center shouldn't be the issue at hand.
In the CSL proposal submitted to the Board of Trustees, "unef-
fective and insufficient communication" on campus was cited as
the cause of apathy on campus.
The information center
will
not solve the problem the CSL is
addressing, it would only be an added luxury for the school, one
that may be nice someday -
but after the important things are
attained.
Like a better library. Or another classroom building.
If any given member of the student body wanted to know about
an event, information could be easily attained. The information
is there.
The proposal given to the Board of Trustees
by
the CSL
is
a
plan that falls only slightly short of holding a student's hand. A
hand that may not want to be held.
Has the CSL looked farther into the larger picture? Have they
studied the root of the problem, instead of ignoring it and con-
centrating on equipment?
Ask a marketing major.
You can't sell a product the consumer doesn't want or need
and you can't sell a product that isn't worth the "price." But most
importantly, you can't fool the consumer.
Consumers are smart. They can tell if the salesperson doesn't
believe in the product, or if it was put together with little thought
or planning.

COUEGE PRESS SERVICE
Mandatory meetings were even held, and at one, only
18
clubs
were represented.
The student government, comp9sed of the club presidents,
should be a group of leaders.
Winter blues, weather. blahs
Technically, active clubs are to hold at least two events each
semester, otherwise they do not receive the money in their budget.
According to several student leaders, there are still clubs who
have not planned events.
A good product is not just the material product itself, but comes
together when the time, the effort, and the dedication and com-
mitment to it become a priority.
Writing the proposal took time and dedication, and confron-
ting the
Board of
Trustees with it
shows
the
potential for future
action -
but the work is
far
from finished.
We don't know the answer, either.
But perhaps the strategy should be aimed to begin at the top,
with the student leaders.
Information cannot be force fed.
Elaborate systems are not going to draw the masses.
And we don't need to hold hands, we're adults.
However, excitement and energy are contagious. And en-
thusiasm does sell products.

Editor's note:
In the past, every
time I've written a column about
the
weather,
it's
changed by
the
time the paper came out.
Therefore, this column will be
devoted to that wonderful white
fluffy stuff on the gro_und outside,
.in the hQ'pes that it
will
disappear
from the"face of the earth by the
time you read
this.
·
Frankly, I'm prejudiced. Oh, I
will smile when someone waxes
poetic about the beautiful falling
snow, and
I
have been known to
laugh when. recalling the Great
Snowball Fight of 1983, when Leo
and Sheahan came to death grips
with Champagnat, and once I even
stood, none to steadily mind you,
near the railroad tracks in the mid-
dle of a blizzard counting the
railroad cars go by, but when it
comes right down to it, I'd much
rather be sitting on a beach in
Florida worrying about my tanline
than crossing Route
9 ·
in.
Poughkeepsie worrying about
frostbite. Call me strange.
Actually,
I
have this funny feel-
ing that
I
am not alone in this
peculiar sentiment. It's a little dif-
ficult to understand everything that
people are saying through frozen
lips buried under two wool scarves
while struggling to extricate
themselves from a killer snowbank,
but the gist of it seems to be in
nice,
easy-to-understand four-letter
words So, what are we going to do
about this nonsense called snow?
The easiest solution would
be
to
ignore and hope
it
will go away
(I'm
told
there's this new idea caJl-
ed spring that they will be test-
marketing in about a month. Ac-
tually, they've tried it before, but
it never really caught on, and only
lasted for three months at the most.
This time tlJey are presenting a new
and improved spring, which will
hopefully be more successful.), but
you can only hide

for so .long. Sooner or later,
Shoprite, or the malls, or maybe
even classes beckon (the last one
being a clear example of what
cabin-fever will do to you.) The
next thing you know, you're play-
ing Nanook of the North End,
complete with snowshoes with bun-
ny ears.
Since we obviously can't ignore
· it,
we have to put it somewhere out
of the way. Somewhere where
it
won't be in anyone's way.
Somewhere where a ton of snow
would not be looked upon as an
oddity,
or
even
noticed.
· Somewhere like Lowell Thomas.
All right,
I
know we all pick on
Lowell Thomas a lot, sometimes
undeservedly, but it really is the
perfect place. Trying to find offices
in there is so confusing no one
would notice the white
stuff;
there's a lot of free space to put it
in, particularly on the stairwells
and in the center part of the front
on the second floor (if you think
the last description is confusing, try
figuring out who's related to who
on a soap sometime. Now there's
a mind-bender.)
U
would also stand
out beautifully against the pur-
ple(?) decor. Last of all, it's so nice
and warm, even hot, in Lowell that
the snow would melt in no time.
Well, if Lowell is, for some
reason, unavailable,
I
suppose the
same trick could be done in Marist
East. There is definitely enough
room there (though you'd never
know it from the classroom size),
and the doors in the new wing are
painted the same attractive shade
of frightened grape that Lowell is,
but the chances of the snow melting
in there are slim. Ever-conscious of
the need to conserve energy, Marist
has shown its support of the
government _by turning .the · air-
conditioners oh-instead bf
thci
heat'~
And your. professors think you're
a lively bunch now! Just wait until
the spring thaw sets in!
Of course we could always try to
return the snow to its liquid state
by immersing it
in
its natural state
in the Mccann swimming pool (all
right, so chlorine isn't part of its
natural state. Picky, picky, picky).
Somehow, I don't think the swim
team would appreciate playing the
Titanic, though.
Well, if we can't fit it anywhere
on campus (though the microfilm
room in the library springs to mind.
No one would notice the water
damage there.), we could always
sell it. AH we have to do is dye it
some fashionable pastel colors,
think up a catchy-slogan ("Think
Snow" is just too old-hat) and then
take it to people who have never
had to dig their cars out of
a
foot
of snow while being plowed in to
their driveway. To people who
have never had to dig out toeholds
in a snowbank to get to class. To
people who have never· slid their
way home on a formerly snowy
path, now trampled to slush. We'll
sell it to Vassar.

Rules
·are
meant to be broken
by
Peter
A.
Prucnel
Last Saturday, I broke one of
my own rules: a rule that
I had
established for myself as president
of the student body.
If most of you can remember
back to last semester and my first
Viewpoint, I was strong advocate
for "working within the Marist
system when one has a problem."
I
am
still a firm believer in this rule,
but the old cliche - RULES ARE
MADE TO BE B_ROKEN - once
again seems to prove true.
_
_
At 9:10
am
on February
8, a full
meeting of the college's board of
trustees came to order in the Cam-
pus Center. As President of
the
Student Body,
I am an "invited
guest" and once a month am ex-
pected to attend these meetings.
This time I brought some guests of
my own - the Council of Student
Leaders.
_
Now this is not exactly a liberty
an invited guest is usually given,
but we had a statement to make.
The council submitted a proposal
to better campus communications
which included sub proposals of
establishing an information center
in
the
Champagnat
Hall
breezeway; a reworking of the
telephone network allowing each
dorm room to have a campus ex-
tension; attaining a transmitting
license for WMCR; improving the
reception for channels
6
and
8;
and
upgrading the use of campus
bulletin boards; establishing a fund
for commuter mailings; and defin-
ing a true Campus Center with
potential to become a student
union building.
The following is an excerpt of
my introduction to the board con-
cerning our proposal:
"This morning we the Council of
Student Leaders present not only a
proposal to strengthen college com-
munications, but also to create a
special awareness of campus con-
cerns on the board of trustees
level...
-
No one other
issue has plagued
our efforts more
than the student
response to a
rapidly growing
campus.
Since our terms of office began
last April, no one other issue has
plagued our efforts more than the
_
student response to a rapidly grow-
ing campus. We have experienced
a decline of student involvement in
and appreciation for the college.
Something we are not proud to
admit.
Our initial evaluating of the pro-
blem and seeking a solution
resulted in the following questions:
What is missing from or wrong
with Marist College? What is miss-
ing from or wrong with Marist
students? And, finally, what is
wrong
with
their
student
government?"
Three very realistic questions.
Also, three very difficult questions.
Questions, perhaps, we were afraid
to answer.
"Yet, how could the root of the
disease lie within the campus when
so many changes were happening
-
and continue to happen -
for
the better of its community: the in-
creasing of the upperclassmen resi-
dent population through the crea-
tion of the Gartland Commons
Apartments; the expanding pro-
grams of internships, co-ops,
career development, and the op-
portunities to study abroad; the
academic advancement of an
undergraduate nursing degree and
a growing School of Adult Educa-
tion program; the continuing ex-
pansion of the library resources
and its availability for student use;
the preparing of 10 acres of new
athletic fields; the much anticipated
opening of the Lowell Thomas
Communication Center; and, at
present, the active efforts to build
a shopping mall to become known
as the Marist Village.
No, the solution to our problem
was not to be found discovering the
many expansions you, the board of
trustees, have authorized.
Nor did we feel the core of the
problem
was
to be discovered from
a student body whose past incom-
ing freshman class proved to be the
highest in Marist College history or
from the statistic of better than
85
percent of the freshman
class
chose
to continue at Marist advancing in-
to their sophomore year.
Finally, we had to determine if
the problem was
in
the workings of
ourselves, the representative stu-
dent government. Yet, beyond any
task we completed successfully, our
presence here this morning
demonstrates that we are fulfilling
our role as defined in the pream-
We have ex-
perienced a de-
cline of student
involvement in
and appreciation
of the college.
ble to our Constitution: 'students
must be believers in themselves,
open to others, and above all ac-
tive pursuers of their own good and
the good of the college.'
And that is why we come before
you today
...
for the good of the col-
lege. We discovered that we had
been asking the wrong questions.
We were separating the Marist
Community when our goal is to aid
in the uniting of the Marist Com-
munity. In short, our concerns are
your concerns; our problems are
your problems ... and this morning
MORNING STAR FORD
Rt. 9W P.O
.
Box 820
Highland, NY 12528
we would like to see our plans for
solutions become your plans for
solutions.
... For almost 42 years, under-
graduate students have benefited
from the dedication, effort, and
work you have contributed to this
institution. So many have achiev-
ed things they might never had
without the concerns you give to
the workings of this college.
This morning it is our desire
to
balance the scales as you consider
our proposal and realize that we are
here to help
..
.lt is our hope that
you will accept our friendship as we
share a firm belief in Marist Col-
lege's commitment to excellence.
Perhaps we have the best of both
worlds at Marist: being students
and government officials. Com-
munications at Marist is an area we
believe has the potential to grow,
like the college
is
doing presently,
and once again will satisfy the
needs of the student body."
Not
something
your average
board of trustees wakes up to on
a Saturday morning now is it? Both
the presentation and the proposal
were gladly accepted making the
meeting very beneficial to both the
board of trustees and the student
body, represented by their govern-
ment. Board members who sit on
the Student Life Committee will
review our proposal and report
back to the board at its March
meeting( ... and your Student Body
President wouldn't miss it for any
class in the Marist curriculum)!

any one voice. Living in a country that
has a president who used to star in

taken seriously. We need to look at life

laugh at society, otherwise we're going
to die being afraid of

R oo sev el
t
home bounces back from
'82 fire
by
Ben Ramos
It was a disaster few thought
could ever happen.
Every precaution had been taken
-
smoke detectors, fire drills and
a constant watch of the structure.
But on Jan. 23, 1982, it hap-
penened. The historic home of
President
Franklin
Delano
Roosevelt in Hyde Park, N.Y., was
on fire.
Firefighters confined the fire to
the attic and four rooms on the
third
.
floor, and park rangers,
assisted by fire officials, salvaged
the priceless artifacts of the home
by carrying them out to safety. Ob-
jects too large to carry were plac-
ed in the center of the rooms and
covered with plastic sheets to
minimize damage.
As a result of the determination
of the
.
firefighters and park of-
ficials, nearly all the artifacts were
retrieved in restorable condition.
Last month marked the fifth
"anniversary" of the fire and the
third floor of the home is schedul-
ed to reopen to the public soon.
The reopening was made possible
only after painstaking restoration
work.
"We first 'grossly' overcleaned
all the artifacts from the first and
second floor
-
and stored them,"
Duane Pearson, superintendent of
park services, said. "Then we went
to work on the pieces that were on
the third floor."
"We used state-of-the-art pro-
cesses to arrest these kinds of con-
ditions, but they are very tedious,"
Pearson said.
According to Pearson, the pro-
cess is a delicate one, using cotton
swabs, and avoiding abrasives or
other harsh materials. Everything
that is done must be reversible.
"If
there is a loose leg joint, we
use a fish glue that is soluble,"
Pearson said. "This way if we
should need to remove the leg for
some reason the glue breaks and
not the wood."
Paul Ackermann, a museum
technician, assisted in restoring
some of the artifacts.
"We had to treat everything in
the house because of either smoke
or water damage," Ackermann
said. "Luckily none of the pieces
actually burned. Some did have
scorch marks, though."
Information on everything in the
home is well-documented, and
photographs of all items are kept
Fashion is more than fads
by
Stephanie Biear
and Josephine Miluso
"There
is no business like the
fashion business." That's what
the answer would be if you were
to ask retailers, buyers or
designers about their jobs.
Then, they would go on to list
a thousand reasons why it's a
job they wouldn't give up for
the world.
"Why fa&hion," you may
ask, "it's just pretty clothes,
right?" Wrong ... the apprecia-
tion of the fashion industry is
long overdue. The fashion
department has created "F" out
of the desire to inform the
.
Marist community about the
ever-growing and exciting field
of fashion and its influences.
Today, more than ever,
fashion is essential to our every-
day life. With this in mind, we
intend to present the world of
fashion as seen through the eyes
of a fashion design major.
''F''
Fashion is a big, big business
.
It
is
the fifth-largest industry in
the world. Look in your closet;
whether you realize it or not,
you are a contributor to the $90
billion worth of clothing sold
every year.
With this much money in-
volved, it's no wonder designers
are a big part of our lives. From
the moment we get dressed in
the morning to the time when
we splash on perfume or col-
ogne, right until we crawl into
our designer sheets at night,
designer style and fashions are
-
with us every minute of the day.
Fashion is not only how we
dress but how we live.
Additionally, the fashion in-
dustry not only opens doors to
the fashion-oriented person, but
also to the enterprising young
business person. We cannot at-
tribute the success of the
fashion world solely to the
talented people who design the
clothes; we must also give credit
to the sharp business minds who
truly make fashion a success.
In essence, the fashion in-
dustry is team work. Every day,
designers, business people and
entire corporations work
together to enrich our
lives.
Marc Jacobs, a new, young
designer, put it best when he
said, "Designing the product is
only the beginning; you've got
to have a good business man."
In the future, look to "F" for
.
the hottest styles and trends
from the top designers as well
as important information from

At the planetarium

One of my greatest joys as a
child was going on field trips.
When I was in third grade my class
went
to
the
Vanderbilt
Planetarium.
It was in the spring, the par-
ticular day of this field trip. The
early spring because the roads were
wet from the snow while the trees
and roof tops were dry and almost
warm. The school bus had just
been cleansed of the winter's salt
arid sand and my classmates sang,
"If

I overheard her sneering at parents

work done to an item is also
recorded.
"A lot of people think restora-
tion means to bring like new,"
Ackermann said. "But it actually
means to bring to its appropriate
time period. That's where the file
comes in. If there was a corner
missing or a stain is part of the
piece, we can look it up and try to
restore it to the way it was."
Ackermann understands the im-
portance of his work and the
dedication required in restoration.
"Patience is definitely a virtue in
this work," Ackermann said.
"I
like to see the result, but sometimes
it takes a long time. But
I

history and I'm glad to be a part

Valentine's Day ... just the sound
of the two words makes you break
out into a cold sweat. Every Valen-
tine's pay, one of two things hap-
pens. Eicher you are looking for
so-
meone to make the day mean-
ingful, or you have someone to
make the day meaningful and you
don't know what to give them.
Let's take the latter and make a
hypothetical situation; just for
argument's sake, of course.
It's already Thursday, and as
usual, you.'ve

put this thing off till
the last mim
·
te. lt's been a hectic
week and you probably forgot that
today's February 12 already. So,
you put on the proverbial thinking
cap
and pray for the best ... you
want
something
different;
something romantic, something ex-
citing,
something
memorable ... that's
it ...
memorable!
Well, it might take a bit of a
search. If you have to
stay
on cam-
pus, you can consider dinner at the
Courtyard Restaurant. Even
though it's only open on Friday,
it's still a nice dinner at an affor-
dable price. And what better way
to start off a weekend of this nature
than with a good meal?
But, if
you're
a stickler for
details and the event has to take
place on Saturday, there are a few
options open to you.
Again, you could stay on cam-
pus and attend the Student
League's Valentine's Day dance.
The dance is usually one of the
more popular events of the
semester for obvious reasons. This
.
year, as a special added attraction,
there will be an after hours party
and this work allows me to use all
my skills," Ackermann
said.
William Urbin, also a museum
technician, noted the historical
significance of the artifacts.
"The artifacts bring out the
human nature of FDR -
something you can't get out of pic-
tures in a history book," Urbin
said. "Three dimensions give life to
the history. And when you look at
it, every piece has a history all its
own."
Lisa Higgins, tourism promo-
tions assistant at the Dutchess
County Tourism Information
Center, said the FDR home re-
mains one of the most popular at-
tractions in the area.
Last year, 196,318 people visited
the home, according to Marie
Mulvaney, a museum aid.

proper mood

singer and continental breakfast. ..
Hmm ... has potential...
Getting off campus would be
fun, too. There's Let's Dance, Ber-
tie's, and the rest of the clubs in
town.
All
of them are planning to
celebrate the day with special
giveaways
and

But what if you're under 21?
Could be a problem -
but never
fear -
there are still alternatives.
The Chance is not the most
romantic place in town, but if the
Jove of your life is a
Souchside
Johnny fan, you're in great shape.
He and the Jukes will be at the

"Pirates of Penzance," the incredi-
ble Gilbert and Sullivan musical,

starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are$ I 2.
If the price is a bit steep, just
remember, half-price tir!

ets will be
available at the box office on the
day of the show.
Well, that about wraps up what
the area has to offer. It may not be
the most exciting bill of fare, but
with the right person, it could still
lead to
a

My best friend Andie Levy and I
held most of our classmates in
contempt.
Donnie and Owen were the least
.
offensive, but they were plain-
brown-wrapper-no-frills-kind of
kids. We hated Shelley Laughlin,
a big, crustacean-mouthed girl -.yith
too many layers of skin who was
rumored to wear boys underwear.
Eric Soley, a knucklehead ex-
traordinaire, had made the mistake
of perceiving us as nerdy-types.
Out of the confrontations, Andie,
who is now a free-lance Nazi
Hunter, stabbed Eric with a com-
pass and repeatedly rebounded the
business end of a pogo stick off
what would eventually be Eric's
Adam's apple.

Sitting in the dark in a round room,
watching the galaxy revolve around
us was stunning. Both of us were
awestruck.
Then there was Frank Blan-
chford. Frank was our token paste-
eating type. Remember, this was
1972 when federal, state and local
funds gave us paste, rubber cement
and non-toxic paint by the gallons
- so even Frank could get his
fill.
Frank really stank and my
classmates, with unmitigated cruel-
ty,
_
had come up with a solution.
As it were, Robin Mason had a
ferret which her parents had taken
,o the vet to be "de-scented," so
my classmates (Andie and I includ-
ed) had collected surplus lunch
money to have a similar operation
done to Frank. Somehow the plan
never got off the ground.
Our teacher was Miss Corcoran.
At the time she seemed normal
enough, but as I recall her tie-dyed
dresses, denim blouses, Cat Stevens
records and use of words like
"groovy," I realize her shortcom-
ings as a person. She was a recent
college graduate who had grand
thoughts of bursting on to the
teaching scene and making the
world a better place with greeting
card ideology like, "Be yourself"
and "Everybody is the most impor

Anyhow, she got hers. After a

anything, he told her to ask her
parents.

10 - THE
CIRCLE- February 1~, 1987--
F oxes dominate Metro play
by Paul Kelly
Upon entering the locker room
following last Mond~y night's
Marist-Loyola, Md., game at the
McCann Center, Marist forward
Miroslav Pecarski sported fresh
crimson scratches under his right
eye and on his right shoulder.
The new contusions gave one the
impression Marist encountered a
difficult
time
.
against
the
Greyhounds.
Looks can be deceiving.
Pecarski scored a career-high 25
points as the Red Foxes thrashed
ECAC Metro foe Loyola, Md.,
89-71 last Monday night. Marist
previously edged the Greyhounds
55-51 in Baltimore Jan. 17.
The win, Marist's sixth straight,
elevated
its
overall record to 12-9
and increased its ECAC Metro-
leading mark to 9-1.
Marist's six consecutive wins
have come against ECAC Metro
opponents. The Red Foxes trounc-
ed Long Island
74-55 last
Saturday
at McCann, and were a rude host
to Monmouth last Monday,
defeating the Hawks, 77-60.
Last night, Marist ended its five-
Garden game
set for
3
p.m.
The time of Marist's men's
basketball game against ECAC
Metro foe Wagner Saturday, Feb.
21,
has been changed, according to
Brian Colleary, Marist director of
athletics.
The game, which is being played
at Madison Square Garden, will
begin
at
3
p.m.
The original
star-
tin& time was
11
:30 a.m.
·
The
time change was facilitated
to accommodate CBS and the
Big East Conference. CBS will na-
tionally televise the preliminary
game between St. John's and Kan-
sas at 1 p.m.

7, The Terriers handed the Red
Foxes their sole conference defeat
this season. Results were not
available at press time.
The Red Foxes will travel to
Monmouth Saturday and return to
Poughkeepsie for a Wednesday
night showdown against second-
place Fairleigh Dickinson.
Last Monday, the introduction
.
of the starting lineups by public ad-
dress announcer Rich Stevens
signalled the commencement a long
night for Loyola. The Red Foxes
possessed nearly an eight-inch
average height advantage per man
in the frontcourt.
When sophomore forward Peter
Krasovec sank a three-point at-
tempt to open the contest's scoring
just 12 seconds after tip-off, the
2,888 spectators at McCann sur-
mised
it
would be one of the few
outside shots they would see from
Red Fox hands all night.
They were right. lt was strictly
an inside show.

Pecarski and
junior center Rik
Smits, who scored

23 points,
.
dominated play in the painted areas
beneath each hoop
.
In the first half, Pecarski and
Smits
·
scored 14 and 12 points,
respectively, to give the Red Foxes
a
comfortable 42-30 halftime lead.
Despite the stellar first half per-
formance, Pecarski indicated it was
not his best 20 minu
.
tes of basket-
ball this season.
"I
had a better first half against
Hofstra i!l the Garden," said
Pecarski. The
6-
11 forward tallied
11 points in the first half of
Marist's 72-71 win against the Fly-
ing Dutchmen in Madison Square
Garden.
Loyola utilized a full-court press
the entire game in an attempt to
offset its height disadvantage. In-
itially, Marist was confused by the
·
trapping setup, but clever use of
outlet and court-length passes by
Drafton Davis, Mark Shamley and
Peter Krasovec resulted in easy
fastbreak baskets for Marist, in-
cluding an acrobatic reverse slam-
dunk by Ron Mccants with 13:43
remaining in the game.
"If
you're Loyola, you've got to
make a decision and Jive and die
with it (the press), and they died
with it," said Marist Head Coach.
Dave Magarity. "We killed them
on it tonight.,.
The extent of Marist's domina-
tion of inside play became evident
in the final
IO
minutes of the game.
Whenever a Greyhound player ven-
tured underneath against Pecarski,
Smits or Rudy Bourgarel, the en-
tire Loyola bench would stand and
cheer.
Repeatedly, their screams would
be answered with a resounding
swat by Smits of a shot or one of
Pecarski's six defensive rebounds.
Another frustrated individual
was Loyola Head Coach Mark
Amatucci.
"When we score
71
points, we
usually win it," Amatucci said.
"They were too much to handle
tonight
.
"
Aubrey Reveley scored 21 points
to pace Loyola.

The Maristwomen'sswim team
finished second in the Metropolitan
Women's Conference Champion-
ships Saturday at SUNY Stony
Brook, while the men set new per-
sonal marks in dual meets last
week.
Every Marist woman contributed
to the team's second place finish by
earning All-Metropolitan swim
honors. This accomplishment is
very uncommon, according to
Women's Head Coach Jim
Billesimo.
"It
is the first time in my seven
years of coaching, that this
has
happened," Billesimo explained.
"It's been a very unique
experience."

Fans: Welcome to McCann-imal house
by
Don Reardon
Jeffrey Nicosia is no mere
basketball fan. He is a man with
a mission.
"My goal tonight is to lose
my voice," said Nicosia, a com-
munication ans major, just
prior to the Marist-Monmouth
game last week.
Welcome to the raucous
world of the Mccann Center.
At
every Marist home game,
hundreds of students -
dress-
ed lightly, ready to sweat and
anxious to scream no matter
how vulgar their sentiment -
have shown time and time again
they'll stop at little to annoy
referees, visiting players and op-
posing coaches.
"The ref beats his wife, the
ref beats his wife," screams
junior Sean Noble as the masses
join in his outcry.
"Hey coach, nice doo!
Hair-
cut by weedwacker?!!" screams
another irate fan.
Marist College Basketball
Coach Dave Magarity says the
ruckus from the fans doesn't go
unnoticed -
on either end of
the court.
"I can think of a couple
games where the fans had a lot
to do with the outcome of the
game," said Magarity. "The
people out in the stands really
helped us out during the end of
the Lafayette game when the
game was won at the buzzer."
Then there was the victory
over Robert Morris. "During
the second half of the game
Robert Morris just died, and I
think the people in the stands
had a lot to do with it," Magari-
ty said.
Monmouth Basketball Head
Coach Ron Kray! echoed
Magarity
'
s sentiments. "Marist
has a
·
bigger home advantage
than any other team in the con-
ference," he said. "Some places
will
be
filled, and only have 800
fans present
.
Here you get
about 3,000 if the arena's
packed."
Krayl
labeled the
Marist
fans
the most vocal in the con-
ference, but added the fans
don't really affect how Mon-
mouth plays
.
"We really can't tell whats
being screamed," he said, "and
the players are too busy concen-
trating on the game to listen to
the fans."
Tell that to lone white
member of the Long Island
University bench who gave the
student section the single-finger
salute as he was bombarded
with phrases like "send in
Goldstein" and "hey, coach,
why don't you put your son in

Such taunts don't come by
chance. "Heckling is an art

with the bad call, the opposing

If nothing else, the Marist College ice hockey
team has learned a little math this season.
No defense
+
no offense
=
a losing season.
The Marist sextet finished play last week with
a 2-12-1 Metropolitan Collegiate Hockey Con-
ference record after dropping two conference
games.
Marist lost to host Pace
11-4
last Saturday and
fell 3-2 in a shortened contest at Montclair St. Jan.
31.
With the two losses, the Red Foxes entered this
week with a ten-game winless streak. The team's
only highlight during the current drought was a 5-5
tie against SUNY Maritime on Jan. 28.
Against Pace, sophomore Kevin Haggerty
returned as the Marist goaltender for the first time
since last season's MCHC playoffs. The Setters
were rude hosts, how!!ver, giving the Marist net-
minder fits and scoring eight goals. Freshman
Ralph Casella replaced Haggerty in the second
period and allowed the remaining three Pace scores.
Mike Medwig, Jon Blake, Rick Race and Andy
Giberti scored goals for the Red Foxes.
l
~
.
.
The loss to Pace was indicative of two problems
the Red Foxes have had all
season
long -
a poor
defense, and the lack of firepower to make up for
it.
Last
season's
ream had
a
flashy, come-from-
behind, style -
and
it as evidenced by its 10-6
record, it worked. The 1985-86 Red Foxes allow-
ed an average of nearly
six
goals per game last
season, but scored an average of seven.
This season's squad has tried
10
play the same
kind of
style,
but the results have been disastrous.
The current Marist squad has averaged only four
goals per game on the plus side while
allowing
an
average of nine.
A different problem arose last Sunday night at
Montclair State, though. The Red Foxes, though
trailing 3-2 late in the first period, were outplay-
ing the host team when a fight broke out. When
Marist goalie Greg Whitehead retaliated against
a
Montclair State belligcrcnl and drew a game ejec-
tion, the Red Foxes were left with no netminder
.
The Marist sextet, rather than strap the pads on
the legs of
a
non-goaltender, chose to forfeit the
game and leave.

Rodeo _____
Continued from page 1
whenever he can during school
months.
He competes in two events, steer-
wrestling and steer-roping. Both
events begin with the cowboy on
his horse.
In roping, the horse and rider get
behind the 275- to 500-pound steer
and lasso it with a 28-foot nylon
rope. The rider then gets down
from his horse and ties three of the
steer's legs together.
In wrestling, the cowboy gets in-
to position behind the steer, then
jumps down, grabs the steer by its
horns, and has to get all four feet
from under the steer by throwing
it down or. flipping it.
Rodeo isn't just a hobby, it's a
source of income for Gorham.
"In 1984, I won the champion-
ship and took a profit of about
$7000. The year after, I won the
championship and about $8700.
That's good money considering I
only do it for five months a year,''
he said.
Profits which help with expenses
is a welcomed accomplishment,
Gorham admits. Especially con-
sidering the expenses the rodeo
entails.
"I
bought my horse, Woody, in
1983 for over $4000. Plus,
I got
two other horses for practice,"
Gorham says.
Although having a barn, stable
and practice arena at his home
helps with costs, Gorham points
out that keeping horses in good
shape carries a heavy price.
"Sure, I only compete for five
months a year, but caring and
feeding horses is a year-long thing.
Then you have to pay for help to
train your
_
horses -
plus a million
little other things that pile up to
cost a pretty penny," Gorham says.
"The money is secondary tQ me.
I do it (or the fun, part thrill, too,
I guess. It's an outlet for me,"
Gorham says.
·
Gorham is
·
concentrating on
schoolwork for his.business major
because he's decided fulltime rodeo
isn't for him.
"I
just put things into P.erspec-
tive and thought about my
priorities," he said. "Rodeo is
great, but the traveling gets in the
way of raising a family. So this
summer wil be my last full-fledged
effort, I think."
"It'll be tough to phase out of.
I love it. Rodeo's been my life and
my dream since
I
was a kid. I
always wanted to be a pro,"
Gorham says. "The best pro."
Chip Gorham has ple~ty of
memories and lots of ac-
.
complishments in rodeo. And after
graduation, he'll move on to lasso
a career in the business world.
·
"I've reached a lot of goals and
dreams in rodeo. Now, I've got a
whole new set of goals and dreams
to go after," he said

eraser and Andie bought a map of
the moon. Mrs. Corcoran said the
map would "come in handy when
you guys get there and don't know
your way around." We gravely
agreed.
The experience must have had its
effect on us kids. The ride home
was odd.
Eric Solely, again, made the
mistake of taunting Andie and me.
Lunging over three seats, he snat-
ched my spaceship eraser. To this
day, Eric probably has a dent in his
skull from the metal corner of a
plaid lunch box.

start
together, droning, "Boil that
Dustspeck. Boil that Dustspeck."
Then, after a minute or two, Don-
nie would scream the rejoinder of
the people of Whoville, "We're
here.
WE'RE HERE!"

The fact that many college students are at an age of exploring
their sexuality and possibly abusing intravenous drugs leads
many to believe that they may be the next group "at risk" for
AIDS. Education for this syndrome remains the only
"vaccine."
Come hear Deborah May, Outrearch Educator with the Mid-
Hudson Valley AIDS Task Force address the following issues:
.
1. What is AIDS?
2. Who is at risk?
3. What is "SAFE SEX"?
