Halloween is coming early to
Marist, and some students are
already starting to tell ghost
stories.
The stories involve the ghost
of a Marist student murdered in
1975 and the spirits of deceas

ed Marist Brothers, buried near
what is now McCann Center.
"I

said freshman Justin Meise of
Fairfield, Corin.,

Meise, who lives in room

"I

"I

said
Meise.
"Then

Shelly Sperling, a freshman
Science of Man student at
Marist, was shot and killed in
the dining hall on Feb.
18, 1975
by a distraught man sht had
befriended, according to
Brother Joseph Belanger.
Stories about the ghost of
Sperling haunting the campus
have been told for several years,
said Belanger. Most accounts
concern the ghost roaming
Leo
Hall, though Sperling lived in
Sheahan while at Marist.
The latest series of ghost
stories reached a climax last
week when
a

after he sawlhemattress on the

Ex-off ender reaches out to others
By
Mike Gra1eb
Abdul Lateef Islam was releas-
ed from a maximum security prison
7 years ago -
but he keeps going
back.
Islam hasn't been convicted of
additional crimes. To the contrary
-
he currently travels to five
prisons in New York State -

preparing ex-offenders nearing the
end of their prison sentences for the
transition they are about to make
to the world outside the facility.

The feelings and frustrations
they feel ..:....: he felt.
Islam remembers very clearly be-
ing an inmate at the age of 21, sit-
ting
in
a prison cell - realizing that
he had wasted his life to that point.
Yet his advice for other ex-
offenders is to put the past behind
them.
''You can't give the guy's life
back or give back the money you
took - it's done," he said. "Now
you have to get on with your life."
When Islam completed an
11-year sentence at the maximum
security Green Haven Correctional
Facility, located about 20 miles east
of Marist, he wanted to help
change the recidivism rates.
"I did a lot of growing up in
.
prison and there were a lot of guys
that helped me and pointed me in
the right direction," Islam said.
"So I left prison with the feeling
Lateef Islam
(Photo
by
Tom Rossini)
that I owed them something - the
guys I left behind. I left with a
desire to somehow find a way to
pay that back.''
Islam, 38, was granted parole in
1980
after he applied for a college
education at Marist. Although he
initially had no real aspirations of
graduating, he gradually developed
a sincere interest in his education.
He graduated in 1984 with a B.S.
in Criminal Justice.
Then, Green Haven officials of-
fered
him
the position of academic
counselor at the facility, and he
accepted.
At first, Islam was concerned
that his friends- the inmates he'd
known for years - would ask him
to bring drugs or other contraband
into the facility.
·
However, none of
his fears were realized.
"They had a certain respect for
me
_
that they wouldn't put me in
that position," he said.
As academic counselor, Islam
showed inmates by example that it
was possible for them to pick up
the pieces of their lives after being
released. But Islam, better known
as "Lateef," wanted to do riiore.
He began to set up workshops
within the facility that would
prepare for release those ex-
offenders who were nearing the end
of their sentences.
Such "pre-release" programs in-
clude financial aid workshops for
those ex-offenders who are in-
terested in attending college and
"transition to street" sessions for
those who would rather go im-
mediately into the job market.
Islam
realizes
there are
numberous problems with the pre-
release programs, and he is trying
to change them.
Most of the pre-release programs
last less than
90
days.
"For a guy that's been in the in-
stitution for 20 years, there are
things in that man's psyche that
you can't even begin to understand
in
90
days," he said.
For that reason, Islam said he is
working to expand the duration of
the programs to at least a year. He
is also working toward forming
programs that include the ex-
offender's family members, so they
too can be prepared.
He
believes
community
awareness programs are essential in
the pre-release process as well.
"People hear that guys in prison
are going to college and they beef
about it," he said. "But this guy
is gonna get back out. Would you
rather meet him in a dark alley with
a degree in his hand, or a gun in
his hand?"
·
However, as quickly as Islam's
enthusiasm and involvement in the
pre-release programs grows, the
recidivism rates of the ex-offenders
in his programs are slow to change.
"It's the most frustrating thing
in the world to see a guy come out
and two weeks later hear that this
guy is back upstate," he said.
"That happens more times than
not."
Still, he remains determined.
He believes that commitment
and sincerity will pay off in the
end.
"Some ex-offenders don't want
to have anything to do with the
penitentary, and that's understan-
dable," he said. "It was a
traumatic experience and some of
those guys can't go anywhere near
a prison after they've been
released.''
Class spreads word on water conserving

Jeff Hunter's homework was to

Hunter, a junior from Herkimer

Molloy would like to see Marist
install washerlike devices in the
showers that could cut down on the
amount of water used per shower
without a noticeable difference.
The installation would save
money and more importantly con-
serve water.
The device itself costs between $2
and
$3.

Marist's John Higgens:
On the job for his kids
By
Lauren Arthur
John Higgens came to Marist
with the intention of staying here
for three weeks -
15
years ago.
Higgens, known officially in the
Marist
community
as
a
housekeeper, is much more than
that to the generation of alums who
lives he touched -
to them he is
"Mr. Marist," or the "Mayor of
Marist."
Born "more than a few summers
ago in Brooklyn," Higgens said he
is looking forward to Alumni
weekend because he'll get a chance
to
see
his kids - however many of
the thousands show up.
Over the years he has given a
generation of Marist students
everything from flowers and birth-
day cards to
.
advice and
understanding.
In return, students have express-
ed their appreciation by dedicating
the 1983 Reynard yearbook to him
and, most recently, by inducting
him
into the Alumni Association as
an honorary member.
Until a few years
ago,
Higgens'
territory was Champagnat Hall,
and most would agree that he was
far more than the man who took
care of their dorm.
"I was always impressed by how
he would know when everyone's
birthday was," said Jeanmarie
Magrino, an adjunct professor and
1985
graduate of Marist. "In a
dorm like that, he was never to
busy to take the time to talk to you,
and he still remembers me now. He
really cares about people."
Joan Gasparovic, director of the
annual fund, claims that Higgens
is invited to more weddings and
christenings than anyone she
knows. "When I get calls from
alums they always ask about
him,"
said Gasparovic.
"I get invited to so many that
I
can't go to all of them," Higgens
admits. He then smiles as though
he were the father of every bride
and groom. In a sense, he is.
And like a father, Higgens is
ready to "get tough" with his kids
when they need it. In a stern yet
friendly voice, Higgens admits to
"giving students hell" when they
needed
it.
Lisa Arthur, a 1985 alumnus,
remembered how Higgens con-
tinually yelled at her for riding the
elevator in bare feet. "Once," said
Arthur, "he took me off the
elevator and walked me back to my
room and made me put on my
shoes.''
He spoke of the time he purchas-
ed carnations for all the girls
in
the
block of townhouses he took care
of. One girl cried because it touch-
ed her so much, he said.
Sharon Consentino, a 1985
graduate, referred to Higgens
as
so-
.
meone who always had time for
people, and remembering each
face.
"If
he didn't remember your
name, he'd just
call
you doll,'' said
Consentino, "no matter how busy
he was.''
Outside Adrian Hall a student
passes, and in his best Irish style
greets Higgens, "top of the mor-
nin' to you sir.'' Catching a glimp-
se of his bright orange and white
attire complete with hat, he
returns, "hey there, twinkles." The
student chuckles at the comment
John Higgens
and walks on.
A mentor as well as friend, Hig-
gens reveals insights of students
past and present. He speaks with
the confidence and concern that IS
years of experience has given him.
"I just want you kids to make
me proud of you," he said.
Through hi~ own experiences, he
has come to appreciate education
and insists learning is a "stepping
stone for
bigger
and
better
things."

"I

he said, "that with that lit-
tle certificate,

more doors are
open for you kids."

Breaking the bubble
They're back.
Yes, it's that time of year again; that one weekend ~very fall
when people you thought you had forgotten about burst _mto your
dorm reminiscing about "the good old" da!s at Man~t.
·
Alumni weekend is upon us, and the Mar1st bubble 1s about
to be punctured by hundreds of newly-established citizens of the
"real world."
They'll spend hours with you "remembering" times that may
have happened only last semester as if they hap~ened t~enty years
ago. And some of them will even try to reclaim their old table
at Skinner's.
.
.
But no matter how much they fit back into the Manst scheme
of things this weekend, your likely to notice that something's dif-
ferent about them.
They've changed. They've become ... real world people.
Some of them will have that serious "real world" look about
them. They'll be wearing matching socks and they'll ~onder ho,w

ty" of college life. The won't want to tell you about their Job.
And they won't have a

But no matter what's become of them since th
_
ey graduated,
they'll tell you that there's more to life than Marist College -
something that's too easy to forget after a few years of "after-
noons only" classes, Fridays off, and all night parties.
We may not want to hear that, but they've got a point.
There's a real world out there, and no matter how good or bad
things may seem at Marist, we're all going to have to face it sooner
or later.
·
So instead of turning off your ears when an alum starts telling
you about life on the outside, give them a chance -
!ake some
advice from someone who's lived life outside of the Manst bubble.

Soccer fight
To the Editor:
This is in response to Annie
Breslin's article, "Hold the Pun-
ches" which appeared October 1 in
the Thursday Morning Quarter-
back. Miss Breslin seemed mighty
offended at a fight that broke out
during the Marist-St. Francis (NY)
soccer game. I am not trying to
justify the fight but here are some
reasons why it occurred.
First of all, the referee was very
unfair, most of the calls he made
were biased towards St. Francis.
This may have had something to do
with the fact that St. Francis and
the referee both made there trip
from Brooklyn. The frustration
mounts.
Next, a St. Francis player throws
an elbow with the intention of shat-
tering somebody's face. Somehow
the elbow is sidestepped, but the St.
Francis player is determined and
spits on the player he tried to
.
decapitate earlier. Stay calm, it's
only spit.
·
Next, a Marist player finds
himself on the ground next to a St.
Francis player who is standing up.
The Marist player realizes how
dangerous this can be and tries to
stand up but he is now being kick-
ed at like a soccer ball.
Stay calm you say? After all it's
only a body. What would you have
done? Would you have turned over
on the ground and let yourself be
kicked? Would you stand by and
watch as your teammate is being
kicked? No, I don't think so.
That's enough.
There are a myriad of other in-
stances that occurred in the soccer
game, I've named only three. The
point I'm trying to make is that
sometimes you have to fight.
There are certain codes of decen-
cy
that St. Francis didn't follow
that made the "scuffle" inevitable.
As I said earlier, I do not justify
fighting
.
but sometimes you find

yourself in a situation where there
just isn't much of a choice.

"I could use your brain as a fill-

The one-sided battle of wits
began.
The lifeguard dames didn't know
whether to side with him because
he had lots of impressive fat, mus-

with me because I was the lean and
hip co-worker they saw each day.
He looked at his left bicep and
then
his

for confidence.
"How's about we step down on
the beach and I punch you in your
eye
'till

bing my pencil-like neck (I guess
that makes me a pencil-neck?).
I'm six feet, 130 pounds; he is a
fullback for U MASS Amherst.
Enough said.
"Look," I said with cool con-
fidence, "if you beat nie up, which
we both know you can, you'll look
like a real ass to all the skirts oil this
beach.
'Wow, tough guy,' they'd say.
'He
can pick on a little skinny
wimp and display to everyone just
how much character he has.' "
My line worked and the girls
began jeering the steroid blob.
He rolled away.

The advantages of being a

No.
Do skinny guys have a fetish

No.
Do skinny guys sweat a lot? -
No (a big plus for those few, nut-

who have an aversion to offensive
odors.)
Skinny guys take up less space.
From a comfort standpoint, think
of Marist beds.

How many times have skinny

Breaking down the barriers
Interaction between faculty and
students in a college setting has
always been an important aspect of
providing a qµality ed~cation. In
some areas, Marist excels at this.
By keeping class size small, for ex-
ample, faculty and students
can
deal on a more personal level with
each other. However, I feel there
is a genuine need for more
interaction.
Outside of the classroom or an
office, there is really no arena in
which a student can relate with
faculty. Several students have ex-
pressed to me a desire to meet with
professors in other areas. When
was the last time you saw a teacher
in the cafeteria? With the exception
of Dean Cox and Peter Amato;
rarely is a faculty member seen.
The faculty dining room is strict-
ly off-limits to students, even by
in-
vitation. In fact, one professor told
me of an occasion where another
.
professor invited a student to
lunch. This created a mile uproar.
The professor was mocked for
most of the year for allowing a stu-
dent to intrude upon these "sacred
grounds."
I recently asked another faculty
member why
this
was so and the
response was, "I want one place
where the animals can't follow
me." I hope this is not an indica-
tion of how most faculty feel.
For this reason, it was rather im-
. pressive to see Dr. vander Heyden
in the cafeteria during the first
week he served as Academic Vice
President of the school. It is a pity
that more faculty do not follow the
example he set. For even in a noisy

Last year, Dr. Birmingham held
a discussion on a philosophy paper
she had written. The discussion
took place in a very relaxed setting.
There were no classrooms, no of-
fices, and none of the usual for-
malities that separate the two
groups.
No one was required to attend,
tion stems form the lack of interac-
tion between the two.
Maybe through increased in-
teraction, we as a college communi-
ty could break down the barriers
that sometimes seem to exist bet-
ween us. If both students and
faculty are willing to exchange
ideas more freely, both groups
could benefit.

The. Cult finds its sound in· roots of rock
By Derek Simon
The Cult comes from England,
a place where rock has become a
dirty word. A place where most
people prefer to pretend they never
listened to the likes of AC/DC and
Led Zeppelin.
Any rock prior to punk is con-
sidered dinosaur music and those
"in' the know" spend their time
grooving to soul and jazz when, if
truth be told, they would rather be
thrashing about.
The good thing about The Cult
is that they not only admit their in-
fluences, they revel in them.
Bredging up the ghosts of rock's
past is nothing new for this band.
It
started out playing something
called "positive punk;'' then
became a gothic band, and is now
playing metallic riff-rock reminis-
cient of Humble Pie and Cream, as
well as the aforementioned Led
Zeppelin.

Rock music prior to 1977 is con-
sidered very "un-hip" over there.
It was sacrilege for The Cult to ad-
mit they liked Led Zeppelin
because the British music press had
burned their Led Zep shirts years
ago.
It
was like digging up an old
skeleton.
But a change in the band's
musical style came as a big surprise
to the legions of somberly garbed
"alternative" fans that bought
their last album, "Love."
The change is that it's sound
came about as a result of the
band's disappointment with an ear-
ly version of their latest album
"Electric." They were looking for
a new direction but were unsure
where to find it.

Then Rick Rubin came along.
"Electric," produced by Rubin, is
as lean and mean as hius work with

release, also had hard-rock
elements, specifically the wailing
guitar playing of Billy Duffy and
the mournful vocals of Ian
Astbury.
These vocals ga_ve the impression
that Jim Morisson had returned
from the grave, but these elements
were submerged in an overall wall
of sound.
Another reason for the change
was the band's desire to reach more

What some critics have seen as
bandwagon jumping is really The

pretensions. Upon coming to

they were, but were being turned
off by the clothes, their imagery

Reflecting on his years at Marist,
Gardner was proud of his service.
"People. come to the Hudson
Valley and they go to the Vander-
bilt estate and to the Roosevelt
estate and see the gardens. I wanted
them to say
'If
you think they are
good you should see Marist.' It
would have been my crowning
achievement," he said. "I didn't
miss by much."
Although Gardner enjoyed his
work at Marist he said he faced
some problems in the beginning.
"When I got here we had four
guys and a working foreman, that's
25-acres-a-person," said Gardner.
"Plus we didn't have very good
equipment."
"They were trying, but having 20
brothers mow the lawn isn't the
same as paying someone a salary,"
he said. "When I came aboard
everything jelled. I was good for
the school and the school was good
for me."
As
well as working with the land,
Gardner also had a chance to work
with the students.
"Sometimes it was
a
good thing
I was there," he said. "There was
one student, who has since
graduated, who was going with a
-girl from the school. He was car-
rying a bottle of booze and scream-·
ing and cursing. I said, 'Marty,
what the hell is wrong with you?'
He said 'These girls, you go with
one for two years and now she dit-
ches me.' Well, I got him calmed
down and took him to his room.
Three days later he saw me and said
he had a new girl. Honest to God,
he married this girl and he is hap-
. PY as a lark."
While in the Army, Gardner
served in the Pacific theater and
was part of the force that liberated
the Philippines. For his actions in
that campaign hew was decorated
with the third highest_ medal the
u;s.
awards, the Bronze Star.
"We did a lot of damage in the
service, it hurt me bad, it hurt me
deeply," he said. "I wasn't proud
of it. I volunteered for it. Maybe
this is my way of paying back."

their lives.
They

Marist alumni who have all shared

Baker and Begley will have plen-

Marist surroundings and spent ten
months studying in Paris, France.
Their husbands, Bill Baker and

Teachers poorer despite raises
(CPS) -
Despite 5 straight years
of salary hikes, college teachers are
a little poorer than their colleagues
of 10 years ago, the Center for
Education Statistics said last week.
Inflation, the center -
the data-
gathering arm of the U.S. Dept. of
Education -
said Sept. 17, has
eaten up the salary gains of all col-
lege faculty members nationwide
except some of those teaching at
private campuses.
Inflation outran faculty salaries
during the 1977-1981 school years
by such a wide margin that college
teachers' buying power in 1986 was
3-to-6 percent lower than it was in
1976-77.

that colleges continue to pay facul-

Professors to .debate quality of education
By Joseph O'Brien
Are your professors closing your
mind?
That question
will
be
at the heart ·
of next week's Dean's Convocation
Day debate when two teams of
Marist professors argue the ques-
tion of whether higher education is
closing the American mind.
The debate ·will begin at 10:45
a.m. Wednesday in the Theater
following a half-hour reception in
the Campus Center.
·
As
in years past, classes will be
canceled from 9:35 to 2:20.
This year's topic is based on the
controversial
new
book
by Allen
Bloom, a University of Chicago
professor who has severely criticiz-
ed America's colleges and univer-
sity. The topic was chosen by Marc
vanderHeyden, vice president for
academic affairs.
"Marc vanderHyden was
reading the book over the summer
and thought it would be a good
topic," said Donna Berger, ex-
ecutive assistant to the vice presi-
dent for academic affairs.
Dean's Convocation Day is a
yearly occurrence at Marist design-
ed to bring the Marist community
together, according to Berger.
In past years the event consisted
of speakers at the McCann Center
and some years attendance for
all
students was mandatory, As stu-
dent interest diminished, organizers
opted for a debate format.
"We thought the debate format
would be of interest to students
and
teachers alike," Berger said.
Last year's debate was a success,
Berger said. "We filled the theater.
We even had overflow into other
rooms with television monitors."
The debate
will
be
moderated by
Jim Springston, assistant professor
of communications, and will
feature the six faculty members
chosen last year by the graduating
class as the Teachers of the Year in
their divisions.
Taking the affirmative position
will
be:
Roscoe Balch, professor of
history; Robert Vivona, assistant
professor of mathematics and com-
puter science; and Robert
Grossman, assistant professor of
marketing.
Joseph Bettencourt, associate
professor of biology; Dorothy
Hill,
assistant professor of social work;
and Jeptha Lanning, chairperson
of the Division of
Arts
and Letters,
will take the opposing side.
After the formal debate, follow-
up questions
will
be asked by four
Marist students: Mike Buckley, a
sophomore and captain of the
d~bate team; Mercinth Brown, a
junior; and Yvette Shabazz and
Dennis Creagh, seniors.
A luncheon in the cafeteria will
follow the debate for all those
attending.
Other groups use Marist computer system
By Rich Donnelly
They're not students., faculty or
administration, but they have the
same right to access the Marist Col-
lege computer center. They're ex-
ternal users -
organizations that
rent computer services from the
college.
-uke
all
users, they can sign-on
to the IBM computer system every-
day from 8 a.m. to midnight. But
unlike.most other users, they don't
have to show up at room 250 in
Donnelly Hall to- operate the
terminals.
"They have their own dedicated
(phone) line to use," said Wendy
Whiteley, the operations manager
at the computer center. "They can
dial into the system and create files.
Some do statisti~ reports, some
run monthly billing. They
can
do
it at any time, whether students are
using the system or not."
Whitely said the number of ex-
ternal users has dwindled over the
last few years. In 1982 there were
about 15. Currently, there are five
external users.
Many of the former external
users have found it convenient and
economical to acquire their own
computer. That's how Marist got
into the business of renting the ser-
vices of its IBM computer.
Marist was a renter, but, due to
increases in user rates, it decided to
buy a computer in 1979. The school
has had external users since.
"It
started out that we needed
some extra revenue. We were small
when it started," said Whiteley.
"The trend has been to get non-
profit organizations involved."
Three of the five external users
are non-profit.
"We haven't pursued it in a long
time. The college administration
has to decide and see if they'd like
to have more external users."
In 1982, external users paid
Marist about $200,000 a year -
nearly enough to pay for the com-
puter hardware that was in use at
the time.
Whiteley declined to speculate
on revenues from current rental
charges.
"We're probably breaking even.
We're basically charging them what
it costs us for paper, printing time,
and the time the system is used."
Dutchess Golf and Country Club
is one of the five current external
users and is satisfied with using the
computer center, she said.
The club uses the computer for
monthly billing, general ledgers
and merging of accounts, accor-
ding to David Shaw, club manager.
"With the investment of a
pririter and everything, it wouldn't
be cost effective for us to own a
computer," Shaw said. "We have
a modem. We call in one day a
month, do the work and pick it up
the next day."
Shaw said the club doesn't use
the computer to calculate han-
dicaps. But it does run a program
that keeps tabs on much money the
members of the club are spending
at the clubhouse.

Plagiarism accusations on the rise
DISCOUNT ADMISSION
WITH MARIST ID
(CPS) - Sen. Joseph Biden
(D;.
Del.) may have been embarrassed
by revelations that, as
a
student in
1965, he cheated on a law school
paper, but cheating remains.
widespread on American campuses
today, various sources say.
Thirty
to
SO
percent of all college
students say they've cheated during
their academic careers, researcher
William Raffetto found in a
Carnegie Commission report in
1985.
Duke, Indiana, Pennsylvania
and Georgia universities, among
others, reported increases in the
number of accusations -
though
not necessarily offenses - from the
1985-86 to the 1986-87 school
years.
At Duke, accusations of cheating
increase when individual professors
take steps to · curb academic
dishonesty, said Dean of Student
Life Sue Wasiolek. Twenty-three
students were charged with
cheating during the 1986-87
academic year, she said; -14 were
charged the previous year and 12
were accused of cheating during
1984-85.
The increase is not due to a cam-
puswide, organized cra~kdown,
Wasiolek said, but because in-
dividual faculty members have
become more aware of the
problem.
On Sept. 17, Biden -
a
can-
didate for the Democratic presiden-,
tial nomination -
admitted that'
he'd turned in a paper as a first-
year law student at Syracuse
University in 1965 that included
S
pages lifted directly from a publish-
ed law review article.

Page 10 - THE CIRCLE - October 8, 1987
Ap~rtheid protest
planned at colleges
By
Mike O'Keeffe
(CPS) -
As a nationwide series
of planned anti-apartheid protests
approaches in October, activists ex-
pect the pressure on campuses to
sell their shares in firms that do
business in segregationist South
Africa will be more intense than
ever.
This, the activists note, is the
first protest season since the Rev.
Leon H. Sullivan called for U.S.
businesses to withdraw from South
Africa
.
As
recently as
1984,
Nessen's
group
_
would piggyback anti-
apartheid rallies with more popular
causes like disarmament in order to
draw crowds.
But in January,
1985,
without
much prodding from Nessen's
group, anti-apartheid sit-ins and
demonstrations suddenly exploded
on dozens of campuses, and the
momentum built to involve as
many
as
100,000
students in April
demonstrations.
In
1977,
Sullivan authored the
Sullivan Principles, a list of civil
rights that companies agreed to
respect among their South African
employees, regardless of color.
Scores of colleges, unwilling to take
the financial losses of selling their
shares in the firms, adopted
policies requiring the companies to
comply with the principles.
Since then, however, the crowds
and intensity of the campus move-
ment gradually have dwindled
as
trustees began to sell their schools'
shares and confrontations with
conservative student groups, who
regularly began to vandalize protest
shanties at Utah, Texas, Dart-
mouth, Johns Hopkins, North
Carolina and other campuses, sap-
ped activists' energies
.

Lounge in Marist East.

Nessen, though, hopes Sullivan's
call will start an anti-apartheid
revival during the weeklong teach-
ins and rallies his group has plann-
ed on during October.
U Mass continues crackdown on racists
Yet in June the Philadelphia
minister and civil rights leader,
frustrated by the South African
government's unwillingness to
dismantle apartheid and its moun-
ting violence, called on firms to
stop trying to make the best of a
bad situation, and to pull out of the
country altogether.
The announcement effectively
left campuses that endorsed the
principles without
an
investment
policy.
Nessen's group was finishing
plans for the October rallies, and
was unable to say how many cam-
puses will be involved
.
Last Oc-
tober, activists on about
60
cam-
puses joined the protest.
Sullivan's
call
for divestment, he
said, "removes another pillar from
the argument of investment. I think
a lot more schools will feel more
pressure. There's less justification
not to divest."

Detroit is superior both offen-
sively, where they were third in the
league
in
batting average

and
first in homers
(224),
and on the
mound, where Tiger pitching col-
lectively gave up close to four runs

run more. Detroit also has a
stronger starting rotation featuring
Jack Morris, veteran lefty Frank
Tanana, ex-Met Walt Terrell and

in September helped Detroit grab
the pennant from the clutches of
Toronto.

The Marist College women's
swim team needs a miracle -
and
it needs it fast
.
Head Coach Jim Billesimo
resigned early this semester to
assume a full
-
time coaching posi-
tion at Montclair State. His new
posiµon is a improvement without
a doubt. Montclair is a reputable
program and compared to the part-
time position he held at Marist, it's
definitely a step up.
Good for Billesimo -
not so
good for the program he left
behind.
Marist is currently advertising a
position available for a part-time
head coach. The trouble is, it is not
easy to fit this bill.
Because it's a low-paying job,
Marist needs someone who already
has a good income and a job that
leaves afternoons from 2-5, and
Saturday mornings free for prac-
tice. He's also got to be a swimm-
ing enthusiast capable of running
a Division One program compris-
ing 18 women -
and all this on
short notice.
The women
will
begin competing
Nov. 4, when they travel to Vassar
for a dual meet. Any coaching
change this close to competition
will hinder their training and their
performance.
In short, Marist is looking for a
miracle.

Ten years from now, when fans
look back to the 1987 Major
·
League Baseball season, they will
see what has been one of the most
uneventful and dare I say boring,
seasons of the past few years. And
unfortunately, the level of excite-
ment brought by this season -
minimal
at best - will
cary
over in-
to baseball's post-season classics,
the playoffs and the World Series.
.
For most, the 1987 baseball
season has been a big disappoint-
.
ment. The Mets, chosen by experts
to win the division for many years
to come, struggled most of the year
and finished a poor second to the
St. Louis Cardinalsin the National
League East. The Cardinals, who
last year finished in fourth place,
started off strong. They overcame
a late season pitching slump and
pulled out a division title with on-
ly four days left in the season. The
Houston Astros, only a half-game
out of first place at the All-Star
break, crumbled in the second half

.
The two teams began weight-
training programs and the women
began aerobic workouts Sept. 8, in
preparation for the upcoming
season. On Sept. 25, official
workouts began -
crowded
workouts, but supervised workouts
just the same.
Van Wagner now coaches 36 peo-
ple at one time. He would nor~al-
ly be supervising only 18 men. Cou-
ple this with his administrative
duties and he's really got his hands
full.
Capable hands they may be, but
if
the situation doesn't change
soon, someone is going to suffer
.
There have been reports of
dissension within the team, par-
ticularly among the freshmen, but
VanWagner says attendance has
been good at practice and he
doesn't feel the athletes are at any
great disadvantage.
But the freshmen, most of whom
were recruited by Billesimo, are at
a disadvantage.
They arrived at Marist to find
their coach packing his bags. Then
they're told to share coaches with
the men until something can bear-
ranged. They've been here four
weeks now, and still nothing has
c~ITlmentary
Coming back from a three-and-
a-half game deficit with one week
to play, Detroit capitalized on a
Toronto seven-game losing streak
and took the pennant race into the
·
final weekend, where they swept
the Jays and won the East.
That's not to say that the final
series, Toronto at Detroit, wasn't
exciting. Any time a division isn't
secured until the last day of the
season, there has to be some excite-
ment. But both the Jays and the
Tigers lack the following that a
team like the Yankees, or more
recently, the Mets, would have if
they'd been in contention and go-
ing to the playoffs. This year's
championship series, the Cardinals
vs. the Giants in the National
League and the Tigers against the
Twins in the American League, just
won't have the "punch" that the
previous series have had.
Even though Detroit, St. ·Louis,
been arranged. Doubts are begin-
ning to surface.
It is difficult enough to make the
transition from high school to col-
lege living and training -
this
situation only worsens the blow for
them
.
But, the situation isn't as bleak
as some of the swimmers make it
out to be. Van Wagner has been in-
volved with coaching both sexes for
10 years
.
They're not exactly on
their own.
The inconvenience they suffer
now may pay off later, when a per-
manent coach is hired.
If the team is to endure, a lot of
people will have to get their
priorities straight.
·
Marist has to realize that the
women's swimming program ii; .
recognized
and
deserves
consideration.
Last year's team, the best Marist
has seen since Billesimo initiated
the program in 1983, finished se-
cond in the Metropolitan Swimm-
ing Conference -
with only eight
swimmers.
This year's squad boasts 18
swimmers. Things can only get
better.
The women also need to make
some adjustments in the meantime.
Conditions remain far from
ideal, and nobody is denying it.
If
things don't improve soon, the
team could suffer. But if it over-
comes these obstacles and succeeds
in spite of them, it will reap all the
rewards it deserves.
San Francisco, and Minnesota are
large cities with an obvious interest
in baseball, just how many people
outside of Detroit are Tiger fans -
excluding Tom Selleck? The same
goes forthe Twins and the Giants.
The Cardinals might have a few
fans outside of St. Louis but de-
fiantly not as many as the Dodgers.
or Yankees.
The American League Cham-
pionship Series:
The Detroit Tigers
against the Minnesota Twins. Bor-
ing, at least for everyone outside of
Minnesota, Detroit and the book-
making industry
.
Actually, it's sad
that this year's series will be as dull
as everyone expects, especially after
last year's exciting series in which
the Red Sox came back from a
three-game deficit to beat the
Angels. With four games in the
Metrodome, one would think that
Minnesota has the advantage, but
of the season to finish well below - ~ - - - - - -

San
Francisco Giants,
underdogs from day one, won the
division just one week before the
season ended in the poor National
League West.
The Minnesota Twins, with the
best home record in both leagues,
easily won the even poorer
American League West. However,
the Twins also had the worst record
in the league on the road and were
inferior to their opponents in

other division, including the Na-·
tional League West, the Twins
would be stuck in second place, no
fewer than three games out of first
place.
The only real excitement came
out of the American League East,
where the Toronto Blue Jays and
the Detroit Tigers fought for the
pennant right up until the last day

Edwards' return to play

By Paul Kelly
- Sixteen days ago, the Marist C6l-
lege soccer team's record was a
spotless 4-0. Today, it is 4-2-2.
After a 2-1 overtime loss Satur-
day to SUNY Oneonta and a rare

since a decisive 2-0 victory over
ECAC Metro foe Robert Morris
Sept. 19.
A slide of sorts? No way, says
Marist Head Coach Dr. Howard
Goldman.

"We're playing very good
teams," said Goldman. "Ford;ham

.
Marist will visit Colgate Satur-
day and travel Wednesday
to
the
University of Hartford.
Against SUNY Oneonta Satur-
day, the rough, physi~ nature of
th~ game manifested itself during
Oneonta's winning goal. As an
Oneonta player lofted a corner kick
toward the Marist goal late in the
first overtime, another Oneonta
player grabbed Marist goalkeeper
Joe Madden's shirt, preven,ting
him
from leaping toward the en-
croaching ball.
The ball floated just inside the
crossbar and into the net .
Tom Haggerty scored Marist's
only goal. Despite the loss, the
game marked the return of the Red
Foxes' scoring sensation Mark Ed-
wards, who played during the over-
time session. Edwards missed three
games after fracturing his
cheekbone Sept. 16 against Army.
Goldman gave Edwards explicit
instructions to avoid all contact
against SUNY Oneonta, especial-
ly during situations where the ball
could
be
headed. Edwards was in-
.
jured when an Army player's elbow
struck him during a heading play.
Edwards' return
gave
the team a
welcomed emotional lift, said
Goldman. "They (the team) would
have been more happy to see him
start but I'm not going to take any
chances with him or the rest of the
season," said Goldman.

Marist has

Extra minutes worry Goldman.
"We're not finishing (plays) in

Against Oneonta, poor midfield
play during overtime maligned the
Red Foxes' offense.
Injuries have contributed heavi-
ly to Marist's suspect midfield play.
Haggerty, Greg Healy, Kevin
Segrue, J.B.. Bettencourt and

recently by injuries. Goldman is

The Red Foxes will try for the

have a good offensive game and the
defense is shaky," he said. "Then
the next week it is the other way

"If

Marist's running Brennans redefine 'broth;erly love'
By Paul Kelly
In an upstairs room in
Townhouse C-5, Steve and Kevin
Brennan are discussing a muffler
cap attachment for Steve's MG
sports car. Initially, the banter is
docile.
Steve brushes aside younger
brother Kevin's suggestion that the
muffler cap should be placed on
the MG. Kevin, fervently reading
an auto manual, persists. After an
increasingly heated exchange, the
conversation ends.
Welcome to fraternal challenges,
Brennan-style.
The Brennan brothers, senior
Steve and freshman
Kevin,

team this
season.
The result? Good tidings for the
Marist cross country program.
Eighteen-year-old Kevin has been
the second Marist finisher in two
of three
races
and 21-year-old Steve
was second, third and fifth man.
The competition between the
brothers began in the Brennan's
Mount Kisco,
N.Y. household.
While Steve was earning All-
County <;ross country honors dur-
ing his senior year at John F. Ken-
nedy High School in Somers, N.Y.,
Kevin began running on the
freshman team.

All-Section One honors, and im-
mediately the conflict began.

"During
high
school, he knew all
my PR's (personal records) and
I
knew mine," said Steve. "We
always compared times to see who
was better."
Even Steve and Kevin's parents
got involved.
"As soon

I'd come
back from a race I'd check my
newspaper clippings," said Kevin.
"Mom and Dad would be
laughing."

Brennan were laughing in Mount
Kisco.
''Kevin called to tell about the
race," said Steve. "I'ni the last to
call because I don't want to talk.
It'_s good fun, nothing serious,"
His younger brother's success
hasn't ruffled Steve. "Right now
he's kicking my ass pretty much,"
said Steve.

"I thought it would
bother me more because I was
training and he wasn't but my en-
thusiasm for him overtook my
anguish."
Kevin laughed. "We're closer
because we feel the same pain and
the same workouts," said Kevin.
"We share everything."
However, the brothers didn't

"You never f--ed up in high

Steve shook his head in amaze-

FDU han·cts netters first defeat
By Don
Reardon
The Marist College women's ten-
nis
team
split two matches last
week defeating Western Connec-
ticut State Monday, and falling to
Fairleigh Dickinson on Friday:
The netters serve off against
Fairfield and Vassar at home this
week and travel to Bridgeport
Friday.
"Psychologically, the
girls
didn't
seem like they were up for Friday's
match as much as Monday's," said
Coach Terry Jackrel.
"F.D.U. is probably at or near
the top of our conference, so we
didn't
·
do that poorly," she said.
"We'll take them next time."
For the lady aces the next time will
be October 17, at the E.C.A.C.
Metro Conference tournament at
St. Francis of Pennsylvania.
Despite the F.D.U loss, Jackrel
commended the winning efforts of
sophomore Jennifer Nacif and
freshman phenom Deidre Higgins.
"Deidre and Jennifer each won
their matches quite easily, Their
level of play has improved with
each game," said Jackrel.
Jackrel said the squad hasn'.t
been able to put in adequate court
time due to foul weather.
"Playing indoors on the
McCann surface is iust not
realistic,'' she
said.
Coach Jackrel also said team
captain Joelle Stephenson's play
has been diminished by a recent
hernia operation.
''Joelle normally has
an
excellent
serve; unfortunately in one of her
games she stretched the scar, thus
she's been playing with pain."
Stephenson echoed Jackrel's
sentiments.
"The scar is inflamated," she
said. "I cannot run quite as well as
!'m
_used to, but
I
should be

m
time for the tournament -
I
hope."
,
Jackrel said despite Stephenson's
condition, she continues to be a
dominant player on the local
circuit.
