play he had written earlier in the
year.
He took the revised script to
Gerard Cox, vice president of stu

Marist College Council on Theater
Arts, for Cox to review over the
summer.
After backpacking across
Europe with a fellow Marist
graduate, Anderson was to return
in September to discuss Cox's
thoughts and suggestions.
Next week, Marist alumni will
present the play, "Constructive
Criticism," in honor of who died
in a car accident during the
summer.

professor of Oral Interpretation,

"I was so happy when we

I
really felt that this was to be

had been through in Uganda, I
thought there would not be
anything to make me go back,"
said Mrs. Kayiira.
But her thoughts were wrong
.
In February of 1986, Kayiira ac-
cepted the post of minister of
energy in the new government
led by Kay

Museveni, who gave him the
post in exchange for his remain-

Kampala. But there was one -
-
problem
.
Kayiira was serving on
a government that did not trust
him, and according
to
Mrs.
Kayiira, he had no real power.
On Oct. 4, 1986 Kayiira was
arrested by gunmen in civilian
clothes and was charged with
plotting to overthrow
·
the
government. On Feb. 24 he was
released from Luzira Prison,
and on March 7, 1987,
Lutakome Andrew Kayiira was
killed by gunmen.
Today, as Mrs. Kayiira sits
behind
·
the security desk in
Lowell Thomas Communica-
tions Center she says she has
much to be thankful for.
"I
have Marist College to
thank, and President Murray,
for all the support they have
given my family. Also for Bar-
bara Lavin and the Criminal
Justice Club for the help in let-
ting

known. To all those who prayed
for us,they changed my life by
giving me strength in my faith
.
"
Although Mrs. Kayiira did
not choose a life of politics, she
said that knows she will never
really be able to escape it. The
people
in
Uganda supported her,
husband ideals so faithfully,
and according to her, she still
makes headlines in Uganda.
"Politically I

while I was in prison. Although
I do not lead a politically active

too," said
Mrs. Kayiira.
Mrs. Kayiira says she has no
plans to return to Uganda due
to the terrible experiences she
and her family endured. First,
when
they were jailed, and then
when her husband was arrested
and eventually assassinated.
"My life is in America now,"
she said. "I just thank God for

Dutchess Coun-

sight around the area as stickers

voters to keep Sheriff Frederick
w.
Scoralick in office for- a fourth
term.
But while the trappings of his
political campaign don't seem out
of the ordinary, the way his cam-
paign is managed is. In fact, a large
portion of his campaign is run out
of the Gartland Commons Apart~
me~ts, where his daughter Lynn, a
semor at Marist, has set up an
unofficial
"campaign
headquarters.''
For Lynn, as well as the rest of
the Scoralick family, campaigning
is nothing new. The sheriff has had
campaign support from his family
in every election since his first suc-
cessful bid in 1978.
"We have to make sure ttiat the
people of Dutchess County know
this is a serious campaign -
and
we'll work until election night to do
that," she said.
Lynn's primary task in the

The family faces a greater
challenge this year as Scoralick,
who has run unopposed in past
elections, faces Democratic can-
didate Wayne Diegel.
In addition to Lynn, her mother
and brother Brian also tackle a
great deal of the campaign work.
The family runs from four or five
functions every week,
in-
cluding picnics, fundraisers,
parades and marches, she said.
One of Lynn's responsibilities is
the distribution of literature to the
public and to school children. This
and her other campaign managing
duties have left her with little time
to study, she said.
"It's affecting my studies a lot
now," she said.

"A lot of news
According to Lynn, watching
other campaigns (Congressional,
senatorial) has helped her with her
father's campaign in knowing what
improvements
·
can be made and
gaining new ideas.
Lynn said that even though she
doesn't always agree with her
father on some things, she's not
just managing his campaign·
because he's her father.
"I
really
respect him," she said.
"I
like his
ideas, his philosophy and his
openness."
Asked what she thinks his
chances of winning a fourth term
are, Lynn gave no hint of uncer-
tainty. "It's going to be a victory "
she said.

Sherwin accepts

by
Karen
Cicero
Last Wednesday was a typical
day for Marist sophomore Jim
Sherwin. He had lunch at Skinners
and headed to his College Writing
II class.
In class, this 30 year-old
psychology major offered an ex-
planation relating Steven Kings'
horror movies to Carl Jungs'
model of the human psyche.
Everyone thought that it was a
great analysis but Sherwin ex-
perienced one problem. He
couldn't walk to the chalkboard to
explain his diagram. Sherwin is
quadroplegic.
"PeoP,le are afraid of the
wheelchair that I've been driving
for seven years," he said. "Yes,
l'ni
different. I'm unique. But
doesn't
everyone
consider
themselves unique?
"My
physical
condition
challenges me but I can do great
things with my life as long as I can
reach out to others," he said.
He is doing.just that. Sherwin
has
.
begun counseling work at the
Taconic Resources for In-
dependence Center.
Sherwin also volunteers to speak
at grade schools, high schools, and
reform schools with the intent of
sharing with others the experience
of being disabled.
Still, Sherwin wasn't always this
outgoing. He believes that he has
matured since coming to Marist.
"I was concerned about my self-
image. I was afraid to ask people
to
_
open doors or operate
elevators."
·
He also remembers a time when
he asked someone to push the
elevator button but was too shy to
ask them to wait for the elevator.
He entered, unable to push the but-
ton designating the floor, and
waited 1
S
minutes until ~omeone
else decided to use the el~vator.
,ince that time, Sherwin has
.._realized
the need to
overcome
his
shyness - and he has succeeded in
his pursuit. "I'm not inhibited in
the least," he said. "I feel that I
talk too much in class."
Sherwin even wonders
if
some
people are afraid to counter his opi-
nion. He said some people don't
see beyond the wheelchair and tend
to shy away from him or pretend
that he's not there.
"Peoples' negative attitudes are
not my problem," he said.· "It's
theirs; besides there are many
Marist students who treat me as
their friend -
who trust me."
It isn't only friends that he
credits with his new outlook. Sher-
win said he has also found strength
through a deep belief in God.
"God watched out for me. He
kept my mind in tact which is what
gives me a positive attitude," said
Sherwin
..
"If
you give up on life,
you'll be lost in God's eyes.
"There is so much hope," he
added. "Technology has advanced
in leaps and bounds."
He wishes society would advance
at least half as quickly.
·
"I want to be treated as so-
meone's intellectual equal. Marist
offers me this opportunity," he
said.
Bill Brinnier, counselor for the
office of Special Services at Marist
and one of Sherwin's close friends,
described Sherwin as an optomist.
"This positive attitude enables
him to overcome one of the
greatest
obstacles
of
a
quadroplegic," said Brinnier.
This spirit shined through when
Sherwin recounted his trip to the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
While sitting in the pit of racecar
driver Mario Andretti, crew
members attached huge racing tires
to his wheelchair. Sherwin said he
really loved it.
_
Brinnier stresses that Jim Sher-
win envisions himself on the "crest
of a new wave" that he intends to
ride all the
way.

For over a thousand years, the
Aymata Indian tribe has kept their
language and culture alive. In the
modern
·
world, however, the
Aymata are plagued by poverty
and a lack of technology.
For the past 13 years, Dr. Curt
Cadorette has worked closely with
the Aymata in an effort to help
them prolong their history.
"For me, it's a very real world
with very real issues," said
Cadorette of the world of the
Aymata.
Cadorette, an assistant professor
of religious studies in his first year
at Marist, Jived in Peru from 1974
to 1981 as the head of a research
institute.
"It gives you another way of
looking at American life when you
get back," said Cadorette, a legal
resident of Peru as well as an
American citizen. "You get to
know the strong points and weak
points of your own country."
The Aymata, Cadorette said, are
a tribe of more than 2 million peo-
ple who live in the antiplano, an
area about 1,300 feet above sea
level.
"They've been there for
thousands of years," said
Cadorette, "and have kept their
language and culture all this time."
Cadorette spends part of his time
studying the social patterns,
folklore and religious belief of the
Aymata.
According to Cadorette, the
Aymata are an oppressed people
because of poverty, a lack of heat
and electricity, and a high infant
morality rate.
The Aymata are further disad-
vantaged because they do not speak
Spanish, the national language.
Nonetheless, Cadorette's trips to
Peru are meaningful to him. "I
find it very enriching," he said,
"because the people there know
how precarious life is. They are
struggling all the time to make life
more meaningful."
Cadorette said he did not really
begin to feel welcome by the tribe
until he learned its language. "I
became closer to them when I
learned their language," said
Cadorette.
Cadorette told of a custom call-
ed padrinasco, or becoming a god-
parent
co
an Aymata child.
"It
makes you part of the family,
and involves you in the upbringing
of a child."
Cadorette uses his knowledge of
the Aymata language to help the
people by acting as an interpreter.
"When the Aymata had to go to
a hospital or deal with a state
bureaucracy," he said, "they were
at a tremendous disadvantage."
The Peruvian research institute
where Cadorette works and studies
sponsors radio spots aimed at help-
ing the Aymata deal with situations
such as hospital visits, he said.
"In American culture we have so
much," Cadorette said. "There,
they have so little."
Cadorette said that the Peruvian
government often accuses people
such as himself of left-wing ac-
tivities, and political tension in the
country has posed more problems.
Cadorette, who received his
bachelor's and master's degrees
from·the University of Chicago and
his doctorate from the University
of Toronto, last taught as
Maryknoll School of Theology in
Ossining, N.Y.
PU
b memories come back from past
with semester's first 21 Club gathering
by
Joseph O'Brien
Last Friday night 250 seniors ex-
perienced a night reminiscent of the
"pub nights" of yesteryear.
The first 21 Club, the only
organized function on campus ser-
ving alcohol to students, was held
in the River Room.
The event, which ran from 9
p.m. to 1 a.m., drew positive
responses from the students who
attended.
"The music was great and it
brought a lot of seniors together in
one place. It was also good being
back in the pub," said senior Nora
Miller,
refening to the fact that the
event was held in the same room
where the college pub used to be.
"It brought brought back a lot
of memories," said Kim Keller,
another senior.
·
While Betty Yeaglin and Robert
Lynch of the activities office helped
organize the event, the bulk of the
work
.
was done by seniors Jeff
Nicosia, Sara Perkins and Robert
Palermo.
"It was amazing that we were
able to run a function with minimal
participation form the administra-
tion," said Nicosia, who worked
on the club last year.
The close to $600 ln profits that
were raised will be donated to
charity through the Campus
Ministry.
"Everybody
was willing to help.
We had no trouble finding
volunteers to work. From the time
we opened the doors until clean up
was over everything went
smoothly," said Palermo.
Volunteers worked the front
desk, checking l.D.s, selling tickets
for the beer, and as bouncers. A
staff member for Seiler's, who pro-
vides beer for the event, was
responsible for pouring and serv-
ing the beer.
"I can only see the whole thing
getting more successful," said
Nicosia. "Everyone was dancing
and having a good time. It will
have the snowball effect."

Science of Man is gone.
Why?
Editor's note: The following ar-
ticle was submitted by a Science of
Man alumnus, who
asked
that his
name be withheld.
Two Sundays ago, on the way
home to New York City from a
weekend visit with my parents, my
girlfriend and
I
walked through the
Marist campus. Several years had
passed since
I
graduated.
Some things have changed.
Marist College "East" now ap-
pears across Route
9
in what was
once a book publishing plant. (The
Marist College "East"
I
knew
across Route
9
was known as
Frank's Bar -
now, Skinner's.)
Rows of dorms overlook the park-
ing lot of a bank and a huge cement
block structure.
· As we walked,
I
picked up a
copy of the Oct.
1
issue of
The Cir-
cle.
Now,
as
I
read it,
I
see some
things at Marist remain the same.
Tony Campillii still does riot have
any answers to give to "some very
hard questions." Ed Waters con-
tinues to provide penetrating
analysis of plans for a new dorm
by citing "money and a location"
. as the biggest obstacles. A shortage
of classroom space and student
housing exists.
But as
I
keep reading,
I
learn
that one part of Marist no longer
remains - the Science of Man Pro-
gram.
I
can't believe it. Why?
This program was the determin-
ing factor in my decision to attend
Marist College. The curriculum
was demanding and challenging.
The founder of the program, Dr.
Xavier Ryan, developed _the prin-
ciples that paved the way for the
later development of the Core
curriculum.
The program was marked by the
close relationship fostered among
its students and its faculty
members. Ask any Science of Man
student to describe the program
and each would give you a different
answer. Why? Because the pro-
gram· was truly a individualized
learning experience. Maybe that is
what make evaluations by nonpar-
ticipants
so
difficult
and
questionable.
Yet, the students in the program
shared common experiences
_ together over a three-or four-year
period. They were also fortunate to .
have both, in the program and
recommended to them by the
direc-
tor, the best academicians Marist
had to offer.
Clearly, the program was not for
everyone.

bathrooms, dirtier classrooms, an

increases in tuition, increases in
housing costs, increases in book
costs, increases in any other costs
and a decrease in student freedoms.
One might ask why we came to
Marist if all these things are true?
Well, as incoming freshmen we
were clueless, and after we were
here a while we made friends and
grew to like the faculty. We also
stayed to this our fourth year for
those very same reasons. ,
One might also ask why
I,
a
senior, am bothering to mentioQ
these problems now when it is too
late to do anything about them?
Why should
I
even bother when
I
am
about to graduate out of here?
The reason for my mentioning
these problems of the past and pre-
sent is to refresh the memories of
· those who endured the problems
and those who administered the
problems.
I
just wanted to make
sure some of the problems we
seniors tolerated are fresh in your
minds when you read the rest of
this.
Since arriving here at Marist, I
have often puzzled over the whys
of indoor graduation ceremonies.
Why is it Marist has indoor gradua-
tion ceremonies? And do not tell

me about the possibility of rainy
weather. That's what tents are for.
Also do not tell me how hot it
gets outside in late May. I attend-
ed the steambath ceremonies of
1986
inside McCann Center. Sure,
this can -be eliminated .by cutting
the attendance· tickets dowri to four
per graduating senior, no problem.
Then all
I
have to do is decide
which four of my nine family
members should be privileged
enough to attend.
And please do. not tell me about
the cost of a tent and people to put
it up. The cost of the lights and the
supposed air conditioning in
McCann is not cheap.
Welllll, what about ... ?
Enough is enough. There are no
real reasons why we graduating
seniors cannot have an outdoor
graduation ceremony if we want
-one.
So, seniors, this time the senior
class is not going to wait till March
to ask for an outdoor graduation
ceremony and more guest tickets.
The petitions are out there around
campus right now. Ask around,
find one and sign it.
And no I have not forgotten
you, commuter seniors. There is a
petition in the commuter lounge
also.
If
for some reason you can-
not find one or have concerns
about this matter, call me at
452-6916,
and I will come to you.
Together we will triumph and be
able to enjoy the outdoors on one
of the most important days of our
lives.

Marist by its commitment to

THE CIRCLE - October 22, 1987
Foster and Lloyd find harmony and
thought
by
Derek
Simon
Just one year ago, Radney Foster
and Bill Lloyd were struggling
songwriters at MTM Music, a
Nashville music publishing firm.
There were many other writers at
the company but it didn't take long
for the duo team up.
Lloyd recalls, "My initial reac-
tion to him was the fact that he was
one of the youngest songwriters up
there and the fact that he had a lit-
tle ponytail and these glasses made
me think, 'He looks vaguely hip.
I may end up writing a song with
this guy.' "
The musical diversity of Foster
and Lloyd is obvious in the vocal
approaches that they take in
various songs that make up the
duo's debut album, "Foster and
Lloyd." For instance, in "The Part
I Know By Heart," they trade off
vocals line by line as compared to
"What Do You Want From Me
This Time," where Foster takes the
lead on the verse and Lloyd takes
over on the bridge ..
They also admit that some songs
stem more from one writer than the
other, such as the inspirational
"Texas is 1880," which Foster
wrote, and the bouncy "Token of
Love," a Lloyd composition.
Since Foster claims he has been
fired from every restaurant job in
Nashville, it is fortunate that the
songwriting he started in high
school has begun to pay off.
"Whether it was Merle Haggard,
Neil Young or the Beatles, it was
the songwriter-type singers
·
who im-
pressed me. That's what
I
wanted
to do," said Foster. "I was suppos-
ed to learn some kind of trade so
I could make a living and play
music on the side for fun."
Foster was a student at the
University of the South in Sewanee,
Tenn., when he met his first con-
tact to the recording industry at a
night club where he was
performin.st.
"He said, 'I've got a friend who
is a producer in Nashville who real-
ly needs to hear your stuff,' and I
said yeah, yeah, everybody knows
a producer in Nashville," Foster
said.
It turned out the person really
did know a producer in Nashville,
and that producer told Foster he
had great potential. Foster was en-
of
sound
mind
couraged enough to take a year off
from school and move to
Nashville.
Then, in Nashville, while he was
waiting on tables and pitching
songs
at every opportunity, so-
meone suggested to Foster that he
investigate the MTM Music Group
- a publishing company that was
just forming.
Foster signed on as a staff writer
at
MTM,
and bad been working
there for two months when Bill
Lloyd signed his own publishing
contract.

Lloyd's earliest musical· in-
fluences were spurred by
his
father,
a swing band drummer who mov-
ed the family to Army bases all
over the world.
"At age 13 and 14 your hor-
mones start and you have all these
wild
thoughts. That's when I
started writing," said Lloyd. "You
start to realize ther's more out there
than just what you know about."
By the time he was
15,
Lloyd was
lying about his age and playing
three nights a week in a little club
in Bowling Green, Kentucky,
where bis family finally settled.
In 1980, Lloyd moved to New
York with a songwriting partner to
work with an engineer at the Power
Station, a famous recording studio.
Later, the pair moved back to
Kentucky and put together
a
band
called Sgt. Arms. By the end of
1982, however, the band had
broken up, and Lloyd had made an
important career decision.
''I
figured my strong point was
songwriting and Nashville was the
songwriting capital of the world,"
said Lloyd.
.
Lloyd's diverse musical tastes
soon earned him acclaim from
Nashville's rock community and
led to his frist LP, "Feeling the
Elephant," which was released
earlier this year by the fiesty in-
dependent label Throbbing
Lobster.
·
"Foster and Lloyd," the album,
is a wonderful portrait of Foster
and Lloyd, the songwriting team.
Vivacious melodies dominate the
record. The duo employ strong
vocal harmonies and thoughtful in-
strumentation and arrangements to
provide us with the finest debut
album and country crossover
record of the year.
In describfog their brilliant
debut, Foster comments: "I think
it's an amalgamation of roots rock,
'60s pop and country all meshed
together. How do you explain that
kind of stuff?"
You don't. You listen to it
instead.

Frosh
challenged
by policy
by Rick Hankey
Unless you live in Sheahan Hall,
·
or have him in one of your classes,
you may have never met Rob
Voorhees.
·
You won't bump into him at
Bertie's happy hour and or catch
hiin singing along to "Miss
American Pie" at Side Tracked
because chances are he won't be
here for the weekend.
"I've been home just about
every weekend since I got here,"
Voorhees said. "You can't drink in
your room and the bars are too
tough to get into so I'm never
here."
Voorhees, a freshmen from
Maywood, N.J., is one of many
freshmen who have had to find
alternative ways to spend their
weekends due to Marist's alcohol
policy and New York state laws.
Those inclined to drinking have
found off~campus parties and
.
riverfront gatherings are the
.
most
popular ways for freshmen to
spend their nights off, according to
Joe Esposito, a senior from
Mahopac, N.J. and resident assis-
tant in Sheahan Hall.
Esposito said that he sees a big
change from past years in the
number of freshmen attending
many
of the events sponsored by
the residents staff and the College
Union Board.
"This
is
my third
year as an
R.A.
and my second year with freshmen
and I've never seen so many of
them attending school sponsored
events," said Esposito. "People are
really looking for
·
something to
do."

Some students, however, say
that they are surprised at how
strictly the alcohol policy is
enforced.
"I
knew we weren't allowed to
drink, but I was surprised at how
strict the school actually was about
it," said Nicholle Carretta, a
Sheahan Hall resident from
Brooklyn,
N.Y.
Many freshmen said that
.
they
would be happier with their
weekends if Marist practiced a
"closed door" alcohol policy
where residents
could
consume
alcohol within the confines of their
dorm rooms.
"My friends who go to Siena get
to drink in their room all the time
as long as they don't throw any
wild parties," said Imre Beke Jr.,
a Sheahan Hall resident who lives
in Kerhonkson,
N.Y.
"It's only
a
matter
·
of time before someone
cracks up a car driving to a bar or
gets hit by one crossing the street
to get to Skinners."
"I
had friends come up from
home who commute to school
and
they thought it was really lame that
·
we had to go off campus to go
to
a party," said Jill Reich, a
Brooklyn, N.Y. resident who
makes her Marist home in Leo
Hall.

other
freshmen dorms since they share
their dorm with sophomores, ac-
cording to Jason Suttile, a
freshmen from Hauppage, N.Y.
who lives in Champagnat.
"I usually hang out with
freshmen but I do know some
sophomores," Suttile said. "It's
much easier to know what's going
on
if
you
know
some
upperclassmen."

A smelly image?, Sewage plant
fights back .wit);i open house
by Maureen McGuinness
Andy Paccione's job is a dirty
one, but someone has to do it.
Paccione is one of the 12
• employees of the Poughkeepsie
Water Pollution Control Facility,
located behind Mccann Center on
Water Street, that treats the sewage
before it enters the Hudson.
He was also one of the tour
guides at the Open House at the
plant last weekend who expUlined
the treatment process to fifty
people.
"We want to educate the
public," Paccione said. "They
should know what's happening and
where their tax dollars are going."
The plant, which operates
24-hours-a-day, seven days a week,
treats eight to nine million gallons
of sewage a day and is capable of
treating up to 18 million gallons per
day.
The sewage goes through five
processes, including disinfection,
before it is released into the Hud-
son. The clean up efficiency of the
plant is close to
85
percent.
The sewage is monitored
throughout the process, and the ox-
ygen level is checked to determine
the amount of living organisms in
the final effluent. According to
Mark Crisp, a lab technician at the
plant, the more oxygen present the
more organisms there are,
therefore the lab is looking for a
low oxygen content.
The sludge that is left after the
process is taken to land fills to be
mixed and used as top soil. Up to
six loads, or 18 tons of sludge are
taken to area land fills each week,
at a cost to the plant, according to
Harry Torchio, maintenance chief
at the plant.
According to Paccione, the plant
has an odor control room to cut
down on the smell.
"The city went to a great extent
to build the odor control room,"
Paccione said.
"It
smells pretty
sweet when
it comes out."
Paccione said the odors that can
be :Smelled on parts of the campus
are normal for a sewage treatment
plant, but they do take Marist into
consideration when doing some of
the processes.
"If
Marist is having, let's say, a
parent'::teacher day, we won't run
the process," he said.
The odor problem is a main con-
cern of the workers at the plant, ac-
cording to Torchio.
"We're always working on
odors," Torchio said. "It's our
number- one priority."
The plant is also responsible for
five pumping stations located
throughout the city, one of which
is
in
a residential area. Torchio said
that they keep the area well kept so
it doesn't stand out in the
neighborhood.
Torchio said that it has been
1000 days since the last accident at
the plant and added that there
haven't been any fatalities.
The workers at the plant are sent
to California State University, in
Sacramento after two years of
employment to take classes in
waste-water treatment operations.

honest. How many of you crossed
the border to see his "Born in the

tour?"
"Where I live, it doesn't smell,"
I said in defense.
There are . quite a few N.J:.
residents here at Marist, and I'm
sure some, if not all, have heard
similar insults -
especially from
New Yorkers, since our borders are
so close.
,
When I walk out my front door,
· I don't have to pinch my nose clos-
ed to ward off the smell of rotten
eggs. Where do people get such
ideas?
Anna O'Brien, a senior from
Cherry Hill, N.J. blames the N.J .
. Turnpike,
a
major highway which
passes through many industrial sec-
tions laden with factories that do
produce some rather foul odors.
"I don't like driving on the
Turnpike either," said O'Brien.
"It's disgusting and smelly, but
that's just a small part that
every~>ne sees."
"I get annoyed over generaliza-
tions that are supported by nothing
. except a drive on the Tdrnpike,"
said senior Theresa Verni, of New .
Providence, N.J.
Just -then, her roomates, both
N.Y. residents chime in and add
more proof with a string of insults.
"New Jersey, what exit?"
"I'm from Joisey, you from
Joisey?"
And then in unison, as though -
they planned it, they even mock .
our governor. "New Jersey and
you - . perfect together."
Verni just looks annoyed and
mutters something about ignorant
fools.
We then joined forces. Long
Island's Southern and Northern
state Parkways have exits, N.J. is
the perfect spot for New York Ci-
ty
and Philadelphia commuters and
we don't have taxes on clothes -
an advantage that attracts flocks of
New Yorker's to our shopping
malls.
That settled them down a bit,
and they even admitted that it
wasn't that bad of a place.
And then there's sarcastic
remarks of borrowed sports teams.
Granted, we don't have a football
or baseball team with N.J. in front
of it, but the Giants do play in the
Ghost tales
scare crowd
by Stacey McDonnell
Psychic seekers Ed and Lorraine
Warren once again captivated a
near capacity crowd with their
stories of the supernatural on Oct.
17
in the theater.
For three hours the audience sat
and listened attentively to the
documented proof that the War-
rens exhibited.
·
Photographs, in which images of
ghosts could be seen clearly, and
actual voice recordings of spirits
were among the evidence that the
lecturers offered.
The major topic of discussion
was
the couple's involvement in the
house in 'Amityville, New York.
They spent half of their lecture ex-
plaining their findings and their
feelings about the famed house.
The couple also stressed the
presence of spirits
in
the real world.
Each spirit or demon, they explain-
ed, is just waiting for an invitation
to take human form. .
Such instruments as the ouija
board and tarrot cards are invita-
tions, according to the lecturers.
"If you have a ouija board bury
it.
Do not burn or throw
it away.
Make a cross in the dirt and
sprinkle the site with holy water,''
said Mrs. Warren.
Many skeptics became believers.
Those who were making cat-calls
and finger images on the projection
screen at the outset of the lecture
became silenced as Ed Warren
relayed his tales to the audience.
He didn't put us on the map -
commentary
it's the place to be."
The Meadowlands may be built
on a giant swamp, but, that just
goes to show vou how resourceful
house was radioactive," said
Collins.
He's not glowing yet.
Although I am biased, I can't
leave out one of or perhaps the
most famous N.J. resident -
Bruce Springsteen. It seems that
N.J. and Bruce are synonymous,
but he isn't a saviour, and everyone
from N.J. is not in love with him.

Domestic
violence
is ~arget
by
Matt Croke
Domestic violence is becoming
an increasingly prominent issue
locally as awareness increases that
it exists on a large scale
in
Dutchess
County.
October is Domestic Violence
Awareness Month -
a
national ef-
fort to make people aware of the
problem and some of the solutions
available
.
Domestic violence is characteriz-
ed by physical, mental or emotional
abuse as well as harassment or
menacing language, said the
Direc-
tor of the
YWCA's battered
women's service, Diana Hanson
.
This kind of violence occurs in
one of every four Dutchess Coun-
ty homes according to figures col-
lected by the YWCA. ,
The YWCA program is free and
confidential, said Hanson
.
"We
provide individual and group
counseling, help in the bureaucracy
and courts, shelter for those who
want to
·
get out of potentially
dangerous situations -
or we
can
just be someone who's willing to
listen," she said.
Already the
YMCA has helped
over 9,500 area women and
.
children who were victims of some
form of domestic violence since the
program was instituted in 1979.
Hanson says she thinks the in-
crease is due both to a greater will
-
ingness to seek help as well as a
possible increase in the number of
attacks. "As communities become
more aware that the abuse is a
crime, more women have the
courage to come forward."
The Dutchess County Coalition
on domestic violence sponsored a

Some of the
·
groups that par-
ticipated were the YWCA battered
women's service, the Dutchess
County Department of Family Ser-
vices and the Grace Smith House
-
a shelter for battered women.
A statement was read at the ral-
ly which said that world peace must
begin in the home before we
can
apply it on a global level, said
Hanson.
We need to get through to
everyone from the lawmakers to
the law enforcers, said Hanson
.
''Community agencies need to be
more responsive when
.
women
come for help
.
"
At the battered women's service,
we give women
as
many alter-
natives as possible, said Hanson.
"We are not judgemental of their
situation. They
can
make the ap-
propriate decisions for . their own
lives

"The thing that stands out in my
mind is John's infinite capacity for
laughter," Cox said. "His ability

to argue a point -
and if he
couldn't win the argument, he
could make everyone laugh about
it."
Cox added, however, that
Anderson had much more to share
beyond
a
sense of humor.
"In light of what has come to
pass," Cox said,
"it
is startling to
look back and see how often death
comes through in his comic
situations."

Scholarly research is supposed to provide a student with a chance
to gain different and exciting experiences, but Victoria Ingalls' story
may be taking things just a little too far
.
Three years ago, she joined a scientific research team -
on an
uninhabited island
300 miles
off the coast of Costa Rica. To get there,
you have to take a three
-
day boat trip. And once you're there, there's
no leaving, not until the boat comes back -
30 days later.
,
There you enter the world of the Cocos Island flycatcher; the bird
that was the focus of Ingalls' scholarly attention.
Ingalls currently spends her days in the more populated realm of
Donnelly Hall - she's an assistant professor of biology at Marist -
but the memories of her month
.
on Cocos Island remain fresh.
Ingalls, who received her Ph.D. in September, at the time was a
teaching assistant at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
A friend at Amherst was going to Cocos Island to study Darwin's
finches. Ingalls' mentor, prominent bird call researcher professor
Donald Kroodsma, asked her to go along to record the songs of the
Cocos Island flycatcher
.
·
·
For the researchers on the island, the boat to Costa Rica was their
one connection to the rest of the world, except for three Costa Rican
naval policemen who were temporarily stationed there. People came
and left with the boat. The mail came and left with the boat
.
Sup-
plies
-
came with
.
the boat.
·.
But the boat came only once a month.
The island lacked electricity, refrigeration and medical facilities.
In fact the only modern day convenience was a gas generator used
to run their radio and the ultra-sonic cleaner for their contact lenses.
"I didn't miss telephones or radio or television or even a toilet -
although a toilet would have been nice," she said
.
"The thing I miss-
ed most was ice
.
"
·
Equipped with a reel-to-reel tape recorder, a parabolic reflector with
a microphone
and
a head lamp, Ingalls would head into the Cocos
Island forest before dawn, ready to capture the flycatcher forever on
tape.
That's not as easy as it sounds.
Flycatchers
can be
recorded well only when they are out in the open.
They sit
in
the top of trees when they sing. Ingalls had difficulty deter-
mining the bird singing at any given moment.
Ingalls found herself trying to outsmart the birds.
.
.
She recorded birds singing, then went back to camp and dubbed ·
the songs from video to cassette tape. She then took
a
Sony walkman
and a small speaker, went back into the woods and started
,
playing
the tape of the birds singing.
The birds, feeling others were invading their territory, would come
out in the open and start singing vigorously. She would then shut off
. her cassette and start recording the birds more
-
clearly.
Even though they were isolated on this uninhabited island, the
research team's work did not take up all of their time.
Ingalls' colleagues, who were on the island for an entire year, would
also encounter situations where fishing boats would come in and some
of the crew members would be cut up, she said
.
.
"So they would end up stitching them up, giving them medicine
and trading for food," she added. "They had a lot of interesting ex~
periences
,
" she said.
The isolation of the island became even more apparent as Ingalls
recalled the day her feet began to swell. By week's end, her feet were
so swollen she could barely walk. She needed to see a doctor.
She soon found herself in a leaky boat being paddled by the three
Costa Rican policemen and a Norwegian-looking American. They were
on their way out to a Swedish schooner to see an American der-
matologist who was collecting seashells.
The dermatologist diagnosed her
as
having had an allergic reac-
tion to mosquito
·
bites, and he suggested a shot of cortizone .. There
was just one catch -
he didn't have any.
That's when they discovered that also on board was the richest
woman in Costa Rica -
whojust happened to be carrying cortizone.
Ingalls got the shot she needed and finished her month of research
.
But the memory of the Cocos Island flycatcher will be with her
forever

Harriers' dreams .shattered
.
at ECAC champs
by Paul Kelly
Somehow; it wasn't supposed to
be this way Saturday at 12:20 p.m.
.
At 11 :45 a.m. Saturday, the
Marist College men's cross coun-
try.
team began a race that was sup-
posed to be its domain, the crown-
ing achievement of its season.
Forget the early-season win at
King's, forget last Saturday's solid
packing performance at Rochester.
This was the first race of Marist's
championship season, and the Red
Foxes were slightly favored to win·.
Saturday's race, the second-
annual ECAC Metro Champion-
ships at Clove Lakes Park
in
Staten
Island, was supposed to have a
special final scenario.
The entire team and Head Coach
Rich Stevens had visions of a post-
race gathering near the finish line.
They would
be
holding the chrome-
plated ECAC Metrp championship
trophy in triumph.
At 12:20 p.m., after a 35-56 Joss
to defending champion Robert
Morris and a second-straight
ECAC Metro runnerup finish,
there was no trophy, no jubliation
on display.
Instead, Marist harriers Bob
Sweeney and Steve Brennan sat on
the ground about three feet· from
each other, staring intently in op-
posite directions,
.
probably at
nothing. Each team member im-
mediately replaced his racing flats
with
training flats, which helped
eradicate the memory of the race,
and quickly jogged away towards
the woods.
In the women's race, which
preceded the men's competition,
Marist finished sixth with 132
points. LIU won its second-
consecutive title with 50 points.
Both Marist teams
will
travel to
SUNY Albany
this weekend for the
Albany State Invitational.
Initially, Marist's men's pro-
spects for victory appeared slim.
The team started slowly, and
stalwart Don Reardon was con-
spicuously absent among the
leaders at the one-half mile mark.
Then, at the two-mile mark,
defending champion Reardon
began to think about his throbbing
knee, which he injured last Satur-
day at Rochester. "I was going to
drop out at two miles, but for the
first time in my life
I
thought about
the team," he said.
Reardon surged toward the
front, and as the race course climb-
ed up a steep hill, Reardon trailed
only Robert Morris' Steve Uhing,
Fairleigh Dickinson's Ally Mongo
and David Swidor of St. Francis,
Pa.
Surprisingly, ReardQn's surge
also inspired the four remaining
Marist scorers who steadily moved
toward the front. As Reardon chas-
.
.
ed the leaders at the two-mile mark,
Scott Kendall and Kevin Brennan
were eighth and ninth and Sweeney
and Steve Brennan were 15th and
17th.
Then,
as the runners crossed a
stone bridge and ascended the steep
·
hill the final time, Marist was lock-
ed in a tight duel with Robert Mor-
ris for first place.
Reardon immediately ac-
celerated, but unlike the initial trip
upwards, the next four Marist run-
ners did not respond.
At the finish, Uhing won, cover-
ing the 5.2-mile course in 26:43.
Reardon finished second in 27:19,
much slower than his 1986 winning
time of
26: 12. Then, a steady
stream of Robert Morris runners
crossed the line, finishing sixth,

Despite strong performances
against Dad

opponents, two
Marist College crews fell
victim
to
a
very competitive field Saturday at
the famed Head of the Charles
Regatta, Boston,
Mass.
·
The men's varsity lightweight

20th
in a field of
37
crews, while the women's

lightweight eight earned a 12th-

race.

Marist was the first member of
the Dad Vail
conference to cross
the finish in the
men's event.
This,
according
to
Head
Coach
Larry
Davis,
was
a
significant
accomplishment.
"It's the
first time
we've beaten
all

seventh, 10th and 11th.
The final hill erased any Marist
victory hopes, any visions of post-
race celebrations involving chrome-
plated objects. Kendall placed
ninth in 28:07. Kevin Brennan
finished 13th in 28:40. Sweeney was
15th in 28:44 and Steve Brennan
placed-17th in 28:51.
"We didn't do any hills this
week and that was a mistake on my
part," said Stevens. "Robert Mor-
ris has a very good team."
Reardon, limping in street
clothes after the race, explained the
possible psychological results of the
race.
"I
don't think the team ran
that bad," he said.
"If
these guys
let this race get them down, the
whole season will be
a downhill
.
slide.
If
you just say you'll improve
every meet, you can't lose."
The women's team, however,
just may be a bit down. Marist
started slowly and never improved
its early position.
Jennifer Fragomeni's 19th-place
finish led the Red Foxes through
the 3.3-mile course in 22:52. Trish
Webster, who removed her.shoes at
the halfway point of the race
because they were falling off,
finished directly behind Fragomeni
in 22:59. Annie Breslin was 24th in
23:42, Pam Shewchuk placed 35th
in 25:30 and Helen Gardner clock-
ed 27:00, in 40th.
After two weeks of preparation,
Marist Head Coach Pam White
said she thought her team was
physically ready to perform well.
Hence, the performance confused
her.
"I'm kind of puzzled," said
White. "It's too bad because
everyone asks how you did at
ECAC's. Just because we were
sixth, we weren't a flop." Marist
placed second last year.
White told her team to maintain
contact with Wagner's team at the
outset of the race. However, the
rapid pace of the race's start foil-
ed that strategy. "Everyone got out
so fast we were lost by the time we
got off the field," said Breslin.

Despite losses,
gridders refuse
to play possum
·
by Chris Barry
It's Tuesday afternoon, one half-
hour before practice, and the
Marist College football team
is
1-5.
With only three games remain-
1ng, a winning record is out of
reach.
Yet, in the weight room on the
top floor of the McCann Center,
Howie Herodes and Mark Schat-
teman are in the midst of an intense
work out.
Why?
They are both
·
seniors. They
aren't trying to win a spot on next
year's team. What do they have to
prove?
"I
just want to win," said the
6-5, 240-pound Herodes.
Hea'd coach Mike Malet praised
his players, saying they are still very
committed -
perhaps even more
than the team of two years ago,
which finished its season with a 6-3
record, the best in Marist history.
One night last week, Malet and
his staff went to
16
bars in the sur-
rounding area. They did not find
a player inside any of them.
"Not one player has backed off
an inch," Malet said.
"Everytime we go out on the
field we have somthing to prove,''
Herodes said. "Everybody was up
for
.
the last game, we just couldn't
put it together."
Last week, the U.S. Coast Guard
Academy shut out the Red Foxes,
13-0, in a game dominated by
defense.
The Coast Guard held Marist to
just 35 yards rushing and six Marist
players reached double figures in
tackles.
.
Two field goals
and
a 28-yard
touchdown run by the Coast Guard
were the extent of the offensive
play.
The rest of the day belonged to
the defenses, as Marist punted
10
times, the Coast Guard
11
times.

_
"It's a different world," said the Wapp-
ingers Falls native. "Every thing is so-com-
petitive at West Point where Marist seems
more laid back."
Webster said members of varsity sports at
West Point enjoy luxuries the other cadets
do not.
"If
you're on varsity you get out of
rnilitarv drills and you're allowed extra time
to train," she said.
Webster,
a
now permanent fixture on
Marist varsity cross country, said she did not
go out for the cross country team at West
Point because she wanted to enjoy running
in a more relaxed atmosphere.
.
Webster's recreational passion hit a detour
after her first year
as
a cadet. She contracted
iron~deficiency anemia and departed from
the academy.

"I kept getting sick and the doctors there
couldn't figure out what was
-
wrong with

me," she said.
-
"Finally,

I found a doctor
near home who diagnosed my problem

correctly."
-
Webster said she originally planned to
return to West Point after a few semesters
atMarist; but her experiences on this side of
the Hudson have changed that.
"The people at Maristare nice - and not
so competitive," she said; "Besides, to get
readmitted I'd have to enter the Point as a
sophomore and it's not worth staying in that
long."
Webster said her schedule at West Point
did not allow her to put in the training time
she now enjoys at Marist.

the veteran of last November's Marine Corps

The Ketcham High School graduate also
credits some of her new found success to

Women's Cross Country Coach Pam White.
"She really works us hard, but we don't
mind doing the work because she's so nice,"
said Webster.

to run another marathon, but might
try
again
sometime next November.
Who knows, Webster might journey down

Corps Marathon and show some
of
her ex-
classmates that she still has the right stuff.
