vending machines
by
Rich
Donnelly
In an attempt to educate students
about AIDS and help prevent the
spread of the deadly desease,
SUNY New
Paltz has chosen con-
dom -vending machines
as
a means
to promote safe sex .
.
"We're not encouraging sexual
activity," said Jim Fredericks, ex-
ecutive director of the Campus
Auxilliary Services. "But at the
same time, the surgeon general says
that anyone who is sexually active
should be
using
condoms. We want
.
to make them readily available."
The CAS is
in
charge of the col-
lege's vending machines, food ser-
vices and bookstore. The group's
board of directors - four students
and two members each of the facul-
ty and administration -
sold the
idea of the vending machines to the
administration last spring.
During the summer the school
purchased and installed machines
in dormitory laundry rooms and
the campus health center.
The vending company's research
showed that more condoms were
sold in the women's restrooms than
in
the
men's restroom, but
Fredericks said the college wanted
convenient access for both sexes.
· Of the school's

Fredericks said

"
"They're being used

of the machines are running out of
them," said senior
Mike Escobar,
an activity assistant at the Student
Union Building involved with refill-
.
ing the machines.
"It's an excellent idea," Escobar
said. "By having them so accessi-
ble you don't have to

. them. They're right there for you.
The price is very affordable too.,,
The machines, each of which
dispense
175
condoms for
50
cents
apiece, were bought for about $180
each, according to Fredericks.
While the vended condoms -
Protex and Provend - are not ma-
jor brands, they meet stardard re-
quirements set by the Food and
Drug Administration, Fredericks
said.
Brand name condoms - Trojan
and Sunrise -
can be bought, in

the campus bookstore.
Condoms can also be bought in

price as cigarettes :_ $1.40.

20
cents and profits are
channelled to the health center for

Fredericks said.

Marist fraternity
.
learns to adjust -
-
with just 3
-
members
by Ken Foye
Marist students Charles Fleming,
George
Watts and Julio Colon are
not only fraternity brothers. They
are their fraternity.
Senior Fleming and $ophomores
Watts and Colon are the only
members of the Sigma Phi Rho na-
tional fraternity's Theta Colony,
based at Marist College.
The Theta Colony, started at
Marist on April
28, 1984, has not
been granted chapter status by the
fraternity's headquarters, located
in New York City. Also, because
the colony does not have at least
10
members, it is not chartered by the
Marist Activities Office.
The colony's manpower pro-
·
blem, says Fleming, has many
causes. "The college wants a cer-
tain number of members, but they
don't really help .tis get those
members," said the Central Islip,
N. Y., resident. "The
institution
doesn't really support us."
"The fraternity's having pro-
blems at Marist in that the ad-
ministration is ignorarit to what
we're
all
about," said Watts, of
Brooklyn. "There's a social end of
it, but there's also a serious element
we try to instill in our members."
Fleming said that the fraternity,
born at Wagner College in Staten
Island in
1978, was founded on the
principles of "strong character,
good moral judgment, service to
the community, academic achieve-
ment and a bond of brotherhood."
"The college might think we're
.
an 'Animal House' thing," said
Watts, "but it's a realistic learning
experience you go through that you
never forget."
The six-week pledge period is
-
designed to help a prospective
·
member,
called
a pledge, live aci:or-
ding to the fraternity's principles,
said Fleming.
"The pledge period is the most
important part of being a
member," said Fleming, the colony
president. "We put them
.
(the
pledges) through trials and tribula-
tions. They learn about each other
by doing things with each other.
We push them to be a unit."
No one bas pledged Sigma Phi
Rho
·
yet this semester, said
Fleming.
·
The brothers said they felt that
the pledge period discourages
students from pledging their frater-
nity. "They may come to one of
our functions and see something
they like," said Fleming. "Then
they start asking questions and find
out how difficult it is, and they
don't want that."
Fleming explained that pledges
are prohibited from smoking,
walking on grass, consuming
alcohol and seeing women
·
during
their pledge period.
"We are looking for those
,
qualities upon which our fraterni-
ty is based," said Fleming.

One activity Sigma Phi Rho activities, but the Sigma Phi Rho
brothers explained that everything
a pledge is put through serves a
pledges engage in is called "the
line," where they walk in unison,
one behind the other, toward a
common destination such as an
academic building.
"You learn brotherhood prin-
ciples," Watts said of such ac-
tivities, "and also you learn to de-
pend on each other."
In the past the colony has had a
reputation for engaging in hazing
purpose. "We might be tested
physically," said Watts, "but
nobody tries to break heads or
arms or put bruises on anybody.
That's not what the fraternity is
about."
Sigma Phi Rho has 11 chapters
and more than 1,000 members in
New York and New Jersey, accor-
ding to Fleming.
Brothers/Sisters get mixed results
Ghostly
speakers
to return
,
by Stacey McDonnell
"Ghostbusters" Ed and Lor-
raine Warren will be returning to
campus Saturday to discuss their
involvement in the exorcism of the
famous
haunted
house in
Amityville, NY, and to tell stories
about
other
supernatural
adventures.
The Warrens, who have per-
formed to capacity-crowds in the
Marist theater in recent years, will
present photographs and voice
recordings of ghosts from the
house during the presentation,
which begins at 9:30 in the theater.
Ed Warren, a demonologist, said
he lived in a haunted house as a
·
child. Lorraine Warren discovered
that she had clairvoyant powers
when she was a younl!. 2.irl.
"I
could see auras around peo-
ple," she said,
"I
developed my
~
powers by subjecting myself to help
people with their problems.
Everyone has the power of clair-
voyancy, they just have to develop
it."
The Warrens have been lecturing
on the college circuit for
17
years.
They have been nominated for
three consecutive years for the Na-
tional Association of Campus Ac-
tivities Entertainment Awards.
The couple has taught at
Southern Connecticut State
College.
When asked what they thought
of the moive •
'Ghost

Fighting
for honors
THE.CIRCLE- October 15, 1987
It's time to get with the program -
an honors program.
Since the demise of the Science of Man "unofficial" honors
program late last year,
Marist
has been without an essential ele-
ment of a good college curriculum.
The Science of Man program, even with its many shortcom-
ings, offered Marist students something that they so desperately
need - a different and more challenging way to study at Marist.
50UVEN\RS
The longer the college goes without an honors program, the
more damage it is doing to its reputation as a legitimate learning
institution.
And, more importantly, the college is selling students short.
For the first time in more than
a
decade, Marist freshman haven't
been offered an honors program.
The Academic Affairs Committee has taken the better part of
a year now discussing and formulating a new program - out no
proposal has yet been put to the faculty for a vote.
And although the AAC claims it will make its proposal soon,
there can be no more foot-dragging. Assessing propos~s
is
a com-
plex task, and there would be no advantage to rushing in to a
program without complete con~ideration.
But the AAC has taken enough time. Marist students and the
reputation of the coll~ge deserve action.
Marist rieeds an honors program now.

the campaign was designed to ral-
ly support for the Nicaraguan Con-
tras and discredit Americans who
opposed them.
· This action raised questions in
my mind about the lengths this ad-
ministration will go to in order to
win
Nicaragua for democracy. The
Iran-Contra Affair served as an in-
dicator of intentions in the White
House.
While the Reagan Administra-
tion publicly backs a peace in-
itiative in Nicaragua, they have
covertly eliminated that option. In
a letter to Lt. Colonel Oliver North
· in 1986, Robert Owens. (a North
aid) stated that "UNO (the United
Nicaraguan Opposition) is a crea-
tion of the USG (United States
Government) to garner support
_.from Congress."
President Reagan warned in his
speech to the OAS that he would
be requesting additional Contra aid
· from Congress by November of
1987,
if
the Sandinistas government
ignores the White House 21 point
list. This additional aid would
amount to $270 million. Reagan
states that this aid would go
towards
. military
and
"humanitarian" efforts.
The White House list of
demands have been called
"ridiculous" by House Speaker
Jim Wright. The Speaker had been
collaborating with the President on
a Central American peace plan.
However, after President Reagan's
speech to the OAS, Wright stated
that
"it is
becoming increasingly
difficult. to avoid the conclusion
that someone advising the president
is trying to torpedo the peace
process." '
.
.
It is becoming increasingly evi-
dent that the Nicaraguans are ful-
ly capable of attaining peace
without U.S. intervention. In
Nicaragua last week, Miskito ln°
dians agreed to end their long bat~
tle against the Sandinistas; The
Miskito guerilla commander, Uriel
Vanegas said that he would support
the Sandinistas if they "defend In-
dian Rights." The Sandinistas have
· agreed to allow Indians to keep
their weapons . to protect their
villages against Contra rebels. In
return, Indian guerillas
will
join the
national government.
The Sandinistas have urged
others to press. for their demands

military means.

October 15, 1987- THE CIRCLE - Page 5
Bored? Go for the Greek life
by Ken Foye
On one of my frequent trips to
pick up my brother from the
University of Connecticut, I com-
pared the UConn campus to our
own campus.
Marist has some things on its
campus that UConn doesn't have
-
namely, speed bumps and golf
carts.
Likewise, UConn has some
things on its campus that Marist
lacks. Namely, fraternity and
sorority houses.
.
I've been a student at Marist for
over two years now, and I
.
could
never figure for the life of me why
the school lacks fraternities and
sororities.

story in this issue of The Circle,
plus being a member ofJhe Sigma
Phi Epsilon chapter here on cam-
pus, is what compelled me to write
this viewpoint.
Talking to the three Sigma Phi
Rho members, I learned that my
fraternity and their fraternity have
a few basic things in common.
Each fraternity has a secret motto,
• a secret handshake, a few other
secret things.
·
I also learned that each fraterni-
ty has one basic but important
similarity
a
bond
of
·
brotherhood.
Unfortunately, this is something
which only 16 Maris~ students can
say they are now experiencing
.
It's too bad there isn't much of
a Greek life here. A larger Crater-
nal system here would keep
students on this campus more ac-
tive than they are now.
I
always
hear students say, "There's
nothing to do on this campus,"
and I'm sick of it. There are plen-
ty of things to do here.
If
you are bored, look into
groups' such as Sigma Phi Epsilon
and Sigma Phi Rho. Not only will
you be an active member of a uni-
que group of people, but you will
improve Marist's sad Greek
system.
A larger fraternal system would
also give students a reason to return
instead of dropping out or transfer-
ring. Nationwide,
-
the rate of
freshman fraternity and sorority
members returning to school the
folJowing year is higher than the
overall rate.
It's hard enough to leave one's
friends behind if one decides to
transfer or drop out. It's a lot
harder when those friends are
fraternity brothers or sorority
sisters.
Joining a fraternal organization
would give students certain social
advantages. When I'm with iny
fraternity brothers on a weekend,
we have a good time. I know there
are students out there who don't
think we know how to have a good
time. Those students don't know
what they're missing.
But don't get some "Animal
House" idea in mind when you
think of a group such as Sigma Phi
Epsilon or Sigma Phi Rho. Admit-
tedly, there is work involved. My
fraternity sponsors a blood drive
every semester. We sponsored the
Miss Marist Contest last week. Not
to mention business pertaining to
the fraternity itself. That's why we
have a president-, vice president,
secretary, controller, chaplain,

dress labels in the mail?
silon is one place where one learns
these abilities.
Finally, there is that idea of
brotherhood that I touched on
earlier.
Being in a national fraternity,
such as Sigma Phi Epsilon or
Sigma Phi Rho, one has something
in common with the members of
his chapter and of all chapters
across the nation. My fraternity,
with over
240
chapters nationwide,
has over
160,000
alumni and
undergraduate members.
Every one of those men has gone
through the same initiation, has
sung the same fraternity songs, and
has been joined by the same bond
of brotherhood since our fraterni-
ty's founding in
1901.
To me, this is mind-boggling,
even though I've been in the frater-
nity for a year and a half now.
But for some reason, none of
these things seem to matter on this
campus.
When a Marist student sees
another Marist student wearing a
pledge pin and develops an im-
mediate concern for that student's
health and safety, something is
wrong somewhere. Too many scary
stories going around.
When a member of Sigma Phi
Epsilon hears another Marist stu-
dent ask,
"There's
a fraternity
here?," something is wrong
somewhere. Apathy and ignorance
at their best.
And when Marist gives my
fraternity a house on North Road
but won't let us put our letters on
it, something is wrong somewhere.
Especially since the Barron's Guide
says there's a fraternity house here.
A fraternity house with no letters?
When someone refers to Marist
College
as
less than a "real col-
lege," I think the lack of Greek life
here is one thing they have in mind.
To the Marist administration -
please do something to let prospec-
tive applicants know that there are
two fraternities here, anyway.
Also, let them know that fraterni-
ty men aren't animals, John
Belushi notwithstanding. And
finally, please let us put our letters
on our house.
To Marist students -
please do
something besides sitting around
and saying there
'
s nothing to do
here. Look into Sigma Phi Rho.
Look into us, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
or start your own organization if
you wish.
In any case, if Marist wishes to
grow the way it has been lately, it
needs to put more emphasis on
fraternal organizations.

THE CIRCLE - October 15, 1987
Armored Saint raises fear
----=-------~~-=:i----,
by
Derek Simon
It's against my better judge-
ment to write about Armored
Saint in this week's column.
First off, they're good friends
of mine -
they have been for
years.
Secondly,
they
passed
through town about two weeks
ago. As usual, my timing is
brilliant. Knowing these guys,
though, it won't be long before
they're back.
But greater than either one of
these concerns is my awareness
of how deeply heavy metal is
endeared to the Marist com-
munity. Nevertheless, here we
are.
If
you've ever purchased
anything that resembles a heavy
metal album, or even if you've
ever bought a Ramones album
for that matter, read on. Ar-
mored Saint don't just rock,
they scorch. That, my friends,
is the difference between good
and great in hard rock circles.
Simply put, Armored Saint
are the next band worthy of
metal stardom.
It all started three years. Saint
was touring with WASP and
Dudley's
by
Ken Hommel
The latest graduate from televi-
sion to film, Kirk Cameron of
"Growing Pains," found an
unusual way of taking on
an
adult
role in "Like Father, Like Son."
In the film, he switches minds
with Dudley Moore, who hasn't
had a mind of his own
in
years.
All
of this mindlessness should sound
familiar since "Like Father, Like
· Son" is like many of its role-
reversal predecessors;
As expected, we do get the
lessons that go along with stepping
into another's shoes. The entire
film is a ripoff of the 1970's Disney
movie, "Freaky Friday," where a
mother and daughter switched
places, reminiscent of probably
numerous afterschool specials.
I
don't have to tell you how

killer opening set.
Talk about mayhemic dissi-
dent aggression. However, I was

genial, if a bit sweaty and fun
loving guys. Their intelligence
shocked me.
That seems like light years
ago. Armored Saint is current-
ly embroiled in the half-endless
"Hell on Wheels Tour" with
Grim Reaper and Helloween
supporting their third album,
"Raising Fear."
Quite a bit has gone down
with Saint since our initial
meeting. Their sophomore
album, "Delirious Nomad,"
saw the band slim down io a
four-piece unit with the sacking
of second guitarist Phil
San-
doval. The band failed to
generate the excitement it
deserved and Saint's career was
mildly sidetracked.
The band also amicably and
mutually split with the mogul Q-
Prime Management, who also
handle the likes of Def Leppard,
Dokken, Metallica and Queen:
sryche. Armored Saint was out
on their own.
-
They have always saio they
were going to "make it" their
way. Life certainly hasn't been
a bed of roses for these boys.
But
that's alright - they'd pro-
bably prefer a bed of nails.
Lead vocalist and frontman
John Bush, along with guitarist
Dave Prichard, bassist Joey
Vera and drummer Gonzo,
hope to re-establish Armored
Saint as a positive, progressive
and yet traditional force in
heavy metal.
"We needed to refocus our
music," notes Bush. "We went
through some hard times, but
we pulled together as a band
and I think it sharpened us
as
people. That comes through on
the record."
"Raising Fear" is the album
Armored Saint have always
wanted to make. . While
"March" and "Nomad" were

down
in
front
ing around each other's minds.
It
is
an
Indian spell that is the root of
the problem as Moore accidental-
ly drinks·a mild-transfer potion in
his
Bloody
Mary.
The
-predicaments that follow are often
amusing but it is evident in the
simplistic plot that the target au-
dience is Cameron's "teenybop-
per" followers.
Nevertheless, Moore and
Cameron are very likable in their
roles - and in each other's -
but
that alone couldn't sustain the film.
There is a lack of plot twists that
made "Back to the Future,"
"All
of Me" and "Peggy Sue Got Mar-
ried" superior role-switching
films.
The supporting characters show
promise then leave the audience
high and
dry.
Both
Margaret Col-
in and Catherine Hicks show
romantic interest in Moore but
neither leads to fruition, thereby
abandoning any maturity to the
movie.

as
Cameron -
when possessing
Moore's body- goes out on credit
card shopping sprees, bar hopping
and joy rides while Moore stays
home in Cameron's body. I sup-
pose he had forgotten the father
might regain his body and show
him a piece of his mind.
While this film isn't worth get-
ting into any further, there are
many upcoming films to-expect the
best from television alumni:

Whether a glass holds 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1

ounces of spirits, the alcohol
content is the same. It's important to know this because the size and shape of the glass can give

when you 're out to share some cheer

U.S. ignored Holocaust, Marist speaker says
by
Karen Cicero
The American government and
people had little concern for Euro-
pean Jews victimized
by
the
Holocaust, historian David S.
Wyman told a capacity crowd at
the Marist Theater last week.
·
Wyman, author of the widely ac-
claimed book "The Abandonment
of the Jews," discussed the U.S.
role during the Holocaust
as
part
of the William and Sadie Effron
lecture series.
Wyman exposed the lack of U.S.
support for the Jews,
as
well
as
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's
attempt to keep news of their plight
from the public.
"It
took "14 months for any type
of resoultion to come out of the ad-
ministration," Wyman -said.
"Meanwhile, chances for survivors
were evaporating."
He displayed his four-foot long,
.
small-print "pinnacle of red tape"
that the government required
before the Jews could immigrate to
the United States.
Wyman said that quotas were
left unfilled and that the United
States chose not to save 200,000
Jews over a three-and-a-half-year
period.
He also mentioned that it wasn't

Lemmick said that it was not un-
til approxµnately six months later
that
a
memo was sent out to the

Marist
·
community saying that
Marist College would divest of the
companies that did not follow the
Sullivan Principles.
_
,
"It was not what the memo said
that got us to protest but rather
what they weren't telling us," said
Lemtnick. "We were following the
Sullivan Principles, so that memo
seemed to be sent because they just

Fab Four
are back
in fashion
by Lauren Arthur
By 9 p.m. the line extended from
the Theater to the activities office.
Light chatter laced with laughter
soon buzzed with impatience. Fif-
teen minutes later,
an
apologetic
voice explained that Paul McCart-
ney arrived late from a recording
session with Billy Squier.
After a 45-minute delay, the
small audience saw the curtains
drawn to reveal the Fab Four re-
lived through Beatlemania.
Some of the audience joined in
and mouthed the words to
"I
Want
to Hold Your Hand." Two young
men jumped up and raced down
the aisle to dance and get a closer.
look.
As the song continued, eyes re-
mained glued to the stage, not
seeming to mind the undimmed
houselights. The audience strained
to see the idols of yesteryear in the
faces of the impersonators.
Ears strained to find some detec-
table difference in the music or the
voices but there were none to be
heard.
The song ended, and
this
latest
McCartney apologized for the late
start. Then he decided to get the
place moving.
McCartney threw out dues to see
if anyone could guess the next
selection. Someone shouted out the
correct song and was awarded with ·
the "trivia prize."
"You get to stand in front for
the next song," McCartney said.
The singer
glanced
at
this
new John
Lennon and burst out laughing ...:..
so clid the audience.
Everyone there could have stood
up front.
· There were alumni, students
from both the college and area high
schools, and even a few families
· present. The only thing they seem-
ed to have in common was an in-
terest in having a good time.
Everyone was a Beatie fan
tonight.
· When the curtain opened for the
second set, the audience screamed .
and applauded so loudly that
it
sounded as
if
there was a full
house.
Judging from the almost floures-
cent colors, gaudy buttons and
fringes on their costumes, "Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Band" was next.
When the last bars of "Revolu-
tion," the final song, were com-
pleted, there were shouts and
demands for more. It
was as
if they
were playing
a
private party rather
than a show, and they didn't want
to deny their guests of a few more
tunes.
Although there was no mob
scene, and they knew that the
" original Lennon
is
dead, some ac-
tually remained and asked for
autographs.
It
was like the
1960's
revisited.
Design--
this fall but 42 arrived.
In addition· to Porcelli, the
fashion department has two
full
time faculty members and one ad-
junct to meet the needs of the ma-
jor's 87 students. However:
Porcelli is not the only one with
background in the industry.
Thomas Darby, a full-time faculty
member, worked for Gucci Inter-
national. Michael
Van
Hom, also
a full time faculty.member, is con-
sidered one of America's top ten
il-
lustrators, according to Porcelli.
According to Porcelli, faculty
members from other departments
as well as the administration have
been supportive of his efforts to
develop the department.
"It's not just money. President
Murray and ·academic vice presi-
dent Marc vander Heyden have
in-
sight and a belief that the fashion
department is effective and influen-
tial · with a definite future at
Marist," Porcelli said.

Who's a
·
loser?
by
Annie
Breslin
"The football teani
beat
Siena -
isn't that great?"
"Yeah,
they probably paid the
other team off."
Sound familiar?
It
should. A
fellow student told me an exchange
like this one actually took place
between two Marist students.
Well, the Marist football team
did beat Siena 33-0, Saturday but
I
assure you no money changed
hands.
It's sad to say, but that conver-
sation typifies Marist students' at-
titudes toward the football
team,
or
any Marist team that isn't winning.
If
a
team doesn't have a winning
record, it's just a bunch of losers.
I
bet the down responsible for
the remark in that conversation
never set foot in Mccann Center,
except maybe for his Physiology of
Health class.
I
bet he never spent an entire
summer training for one important
race, only to sprain his ankle two
days before it.
Or has he ever spent six or eight
hours of his week lifting weights,
hoping it'll improve his chances of
playing in the next game?
I'm
sure he's
-
never endured the
frustration of watching his
team
lose a game while he sits on the
sidelines with a busted cheekbone.
No, it's not likely he's been
through anything like this. And
that's why he, and most of these
critics, are missing the whole point.
No "loser" has ever made it
through situations like this. But a
lot of Marist athletes have -
and
these are the ones deserving of
respect.
.
There's a lot more to
sports
than
winning and losing. You just have
to get a little closer to see it.
If you look closer, you'll
see
that
what really identifies a team isn't
•
its win-loss record. It's the qualities
within it like determination, self-
sacrifice and pride that hold a team
together. Without them, no team
will exist, let alone win.
The Marist football team has
undergone a frustrating start this
season and the worst may
be
yet to
come
.
The Red.Foxes let Dickinson
squeak by them in a heart-breaking
season opener, then fell to St.
Peter's, St. John's and FDU-
Madison
·
before Saturday's revenge
against Siena. And According to
Head Coach
Mile~
Malet, the teams
left on schedule are as good,
if
not
better
·
than
the ones Marist has
already played.
That kind of season doesn't
sound like a good time to me, but
something draws the players
together every day for
three
hours
of grueling workouts. Something
keeps their heads held high despite
the jokes and wise cracks they hear
.
during
times
-
like these.
Scholarships? No way. Players
.
at Marist pay the same tuition
everyone else does and teachers
don't hand them A's just for hav-
ing a Marist jersey.
In
fact, the
jersey is about all they get, and
they're not even that great.
Oh, they do get their practice
clothes laundered at McCann for
free.
Wow :... that's an incentive.
If
Marist's athletes
didn't
have
the inner strength and conviction
I'm speaking of, there would
be
no
football team this year.
I'm not saying all athletes at
Marist are bound for sainthood.
Many have
quit
and
I
don't know
anyone who plays just for the
honor of representing his school.
They play
because
they love their
sport and care about their team-
mates. They endure the bad times
with the understanding that they
have to work harder if it's to get
better.
Losing takes a lot more
guts
than
winning.

FINALLY!
Red Foxes crush Siena
33-0·for initial .victory
by Chris Barry
With just over one minute re-
maining in Saturday's Siena con-
test, Head Coach Mike Malet was
doused with Gatorade -
New
York Giants' style -
and the
Marist College football team began
celebrating its first . win of the
season . .
The Red Foxes livened up
Homecoming festivities by shutting
out Siena 33-0 in front of 2,298
people at Leonidoff Field.
This Saturday, the Red Foxes
will host the U.S. Coast Guard
Academy. in a 2:30 p.m. contest.
"We ran a lot of play-action
passes," Thomas said. "That gives
me more time to throw."
Malet ·atso praised the precision
of the offense.
"It
was the best
we'-ve executed all year," he said.
The Red Foxes dominated on
defense as well, holding Siena to
just 42 yards rushing.
Siena
quarterback
Pete __
Eisenberg · completed 13 of 39
passes for 128 yards but was in-
tercepted three times under severe
pressure from Marist's defensive
line.
THE CIRCLE - October 15, 1987
While his team was celebrating
· last Saturday, Malet was still
think-
ing of one thing -
the shut out.
"They've been playing well all
year," Malet said of his linemen.
"Chris Keenan is having his best
year ever."
Sophomo~ Bill Kelly (32) celebrates his 21-yard touchdown
run
in
the third quarter.
"My biggest concern was saving
the shut out," Malet said. "These
guys worked so hard for it."
Junior Jason Thomas threw for
one touchdown and ran •for
another to lead the Marist offense
which stacked up its highest point
total of the season.
Thomas completed all six of his
passes for 109 yards before giving
way to senior Jon Cannon in the
second half.
Thomas said good execution was
the ·key to the offensive success.
Woodhour
leads rugby
to victory
by Annie Breslin
The Marist College rugby team
split the frrst two matches of its fall
season, defeating Vassar ·21-6 at
h9me Saturday and falling to Drew
15-13 in Madison, N.J., Oct. 3.
The Red Foxes
will
travel to
SUNY New Paltz this Saturday to
_ take on the Hawks at 1 p.m.
Against Vassar, The Red Foxes
were led by the strong offensive
play of freshman Justin Meise and
junior John Woodhour. Meise's
successful try early in the first half
started Marist's scoring marathon.
Woodhour scored just before the
half ended and the ensuing conver-
sion gave the Red Foxes a 10-3
· halftime cushion. Vassar's only
points resulted from a successful
field goal attempt. ·
Woodhour didn't weaken during
second-half play, putting in his se-
cond and third successful tries late
in the game. The Brewers scored
another field goal before it was
over, but the Red Foxes walked
away with the win.
In the season opener Oct. 3
against Drew, Marist wasn't as for-
tunate. Senior John McGurk led
Marist scorers with seven . points
and sophomore Mark lnnaimo
contributed four in ·. the losing
effort.
. Despite the questionable start,
McGurk, the rugby club president;
is optimistic.
"The team really came together
Saturday," he said. "Everyone is
playing really well."
The defense helped set up
Marist's first score.
An interception by Fred
Christensen started a Marist offen-
sive drive which culminated with
Thomas hitting a wide open Eric
Crainich for a 20-yard touchdown
with 7:38 left in the opening period.
The
Red
Foxes
second
touchdown was set up by a 41-yard
pass from Thomas to Michael Cor-
nette, putting Marist inside the
Siena 10-yard-line.
At the 6-yard-line, Thomas pit-
ched the ball to running back Paul
Ronga. Ronga returned the ball to
. Thomas who scampered cleanly in-
to the end zone. Bill Rose kicked
his
second extra point giving Marist
. a 14-0 halftime lead.
·
Two 20-yard touchdown runs by
Dan McElduff and Bill Kelly gave
Marist a 26-0 lead going into the
final quarter.
Marist's last score was again set

Casey. 's_ juggling act
keeping her in line
by Don Reardon
-
Marist College senior Maryanne Casey is a creature of extremes.
By fall, Casey is an intimidating fixture on the Marist women's
volleyball team. By spring, she trades the open court for the Hud- ·
son River and the Marist crew.
·
Away
from the net and scull, Casey is unassuming and good·
humored.
"People tell me I'm in~midating," said _the 6-0 communication
arts major, "but I don't see thing!= that way, l'm a-puppy."
Ac~rding to Head Volleyball Coach Vic VanCarpels, Cas~y•s
front line appearance on the volleyball court serves to intimidate
even the most menacing foes.
"It
doesn't matter who we play, once Casey takes the front line
the other teams won't put the ball near her," said VanC~els.
Casey" said volleyball and crew are two extremes that give her
balance.
"Crew keeps me out of trouble,"_.said the Brentwood;
N.Y.,
native. "It's tough to go out drinking every night if you have to
get up for crew practice every morning at 5:30," she said.
A~rding to Casey, volleyball is not as disciplined.
"I don't put in much preparation for volleyball -
I basically
play to have fun," she said. "The girls on the team are close and
we have a lot of. fun_ traveling to matches_"
The slender red bead said she is not concerned with preconceiv-
ed notions about the two sports.
-.
"In crew you have to lift weights and run five miles every ~fter-
noon, "she said. "Some people think a girl is a real beast if she
does that!'
Does anyone-call Casey a beast?
_
"People don't call me a beast because I'm tall -
I don't think
they would say it to my face."
A graduate of the Academy of St. Joseph, Casey did not row
while in high school,· but played volleyball and basketball. ·
"I was absolutely sick of basketball when I graduated high school
and I wanted to try something a little exotic, like rowing," she said.
Try she did. Casey was named Freshman Athlete of the Year
in 1985 for her exotic endeavor.
Casey hopes her dedication will carry her far after graduation
this· spring.
"I might not row this spring because I want an internship, after
that I guess my goal would be to get off Long Island," she· said.

Though the team is already
heavily populated, and its not likley
to take on new members, Babineau
would still like to see what kind of
talent is out there.
"If

them a good, honest run and see

But he's not proID:ising anything.
"They'll have to really impress
me," he said.
up by the defense.
Siena was in the midst of its best
offensive drive of the day when
Brian Cesca recovered
a
fumble at Marist's 42-yard-line.
Marist drove to the Siena 5:yard-
line where
Cannon scored as
he kept the ball on an option play.
Cannon scored earlier in the game,
but the play was called back
because of a clipping penalty.
Malet is already looking to this
weekend's Coast Guard contest.
Like Marist, Coast Guard uses a
wishbone offense and rushing is
their strength, Malet said .
"It will be their strength against
our strength (defense)," Malet
said.
"We're definitely ready for
another victory," Thomas added.
"Coast Guard is a very physical
team," Malet saiq. "It will be very
difficult_ to move the ball against
them. We'll have to play even bet-
ter than we played against Siena."
Reardon's blunder
pushes X-C to third
by Paul· Kelly
Marist's Don Reardon cruised
through the four-mile mark during
Saturday's three-way meet against
Rochester and Colgate in a swift
time of 20 minutes. When Reardon
crossed the finish line of the
5.0-mile Genesee Valley Park
double-loop circuit, sidelined
Rochester star AI Smith, acting as
timekeeper,
announced·Reardon's
winning time -
24: 11.
The final mile in 4: 11?
Something was drastically wrong.
"The second he (Smith) said it,
I looked at
him
and said DQ (dis-
qualify) me because I took a wrong
turn," said Reardon. ~'There's no
way I ran the final mile in 4: 11."
Unfortunately,
·Reardon's
honesty cost
him
a team title and
the Marist team a victory over rival
Colgate. Without Reardon, the
Red Foxes were nipped 27-29 by
the Red Raiders and swept by host
Rochester 15-49.
Marist's men's and women's.
teams
will
travel Saturday to Staten
Island's Clove Lakes Park for the
ECAC Metro Championships. Last
year, both squads finished second.
At Rochester, Reardon's naviga-
tional difficulties overshadowed a
brilliant "packing" performance
by the team. Junior Bob Sweeney,
Marist's irrst official ilnisher, plac-
ed ninth in 26:56. Dave Blondin,
Marist's fifth and final sco~g run-
ner, placed 20th.
The performance of Reardon
and Marist's "five-pack" will be
vital this Saturday. The Red Foxes
will be challenging Fairleigh
Dickinson and defending cham-
pion Robert Morris for the title.
"We have to have six in the top
15 to
win," said Marist Head
Coach Rich Stevens.
Soccer's super September
gives way to October woes_
by Paul Kelly
Howard Goldman sat in his
McCann office Monday morning,
ailing. Goldman, Marist head soc-
cer coach, was nursing a cold which
was aggravated by a nagging sore
throat.
_ A cold probably wasn't the only
thing bothering
him .
The Marist soccer team, 4-3-2,-is
at a crossroads. The squad, which
lost 1-0 to host Colgate Saturday
is entering the most difficult section
of its schedule as a confused group.
Marist visited the University of
Hartford yesterday. Results were
unavailable at press time. The Red
Foxes will host ECAC Metro rival
Loyola,
Md.,
Saturday in a pivotal
contest.
The Red Foxes need a resurrec-
tion of sorts. "They have to recap-
ture the type of play they had
against Fordham and those other
teams early on," said Goldman.
Against Colgate Saturday,
Marist removed its level of play
further from such stellar games as
Fordham. Marist's defense, which

had difficulty marking opponents
in the midfield. The poor coverage
gave Marist goalkeeper Joe Mad-
den a heavy workload.
"Joe Madden played a good
game but the defense was horri-
ble," said Goldman. "We made
them (Colgate) look like the
Brazilian National team."
A few weeks ago, Goldman saw
potential magic in his team's of-
fense. Now, despite Mark Ed-
wards' return and Tom Haggerty's
solid play, there are problems.
"We're only getting one pass and
then giving the ball up," said
Goldman.
A further shakeup of the
backfield roster will be enacted to
try to cure Marist's defensive in-
fluenza, said Goldman.
Just as there are cold remedies,
Goldman is hoping for a quick fix
to his team's ailments.

"They've got to get their act
together and decide what they want
to do," Goldman said. "They have
the chance to have a super season
but they could let it go down the
tubes. I have faith in their ability."
