Housing cramps remain through 2nd month
by Matt Croke
Eight weeks into the semester,
more than 40 donn rooms still have
extra occupants because of over-
crowding in campus housing.
Housing officials report 43
buildups in the dorms,
a
decrease
of only nine since mid-September.
In most cases, the buildups involve
three freshmen living in a room
designed for two students;
Six fonner buildups contained
sophomores, who can opt to leave
campus housing if the over-
crowding is inconvenient.
Marist took in
809
freshmen this
semester, the largest class in school
history.
Tuning in
to teamwork
by Matt Croke
What was
Dr
Ruth Westheimer's
former occupation before becom-
ing a sex therapist, Stew Schantz
and John Steffanci asked their
listeners last week on WPDH's
morning show.

.
.
This
fall, 11 of the 750 freshmen
who applied for housing left alniost
immediately, said Steve Sansola,
director ofhousing.
Sansola said the delay in
eliminating the buildups cannot be
avoided. However, he said he an-
ticipates more freshmen withdraw-
ing when midterms grades reach
home.
;
"By the spring semester we
should be at normal occupancy
levels, with no buildups on
cam-
.
pus," said Sansola, who added that
overcrowding is a
·
problem faced by
many colleges.
Sansola compared

operation to an airline, which

People use the show as a sort of
alarm
clock for their day, said Stef-
fanci, the producer of the morning
show. We do some segments at the
same time each day to let people
know it's time to get their day go-
ing, he said.

sometimes overbooks its flights in
anticipation of cancellations.
Overcrowding has made the first
semester more difficult for those
freshmen involved, according to
students in buildups. A lack of
privacy, they said, is more of a pro-
blem ~ban a lack of space.
"Sharing a room with two other
people suppresses your ability to do
the things you like to do," said Ben
Fried, a freshman Marian resident.
Students in buildup rooms after
Sept. 28 received a refund of $175;
or
15
percent of their room charge,
unless they refused a chance to be
relocated, said Sansola.
·
The freshmen in buildups were
chosen according to the date on
which they paid their room deposit.
The last ones to pay were put in
buildups. The person with the
earliest date of deposit in a room
is the one given the chance to move
when the opportunity arises, said
Sansola.
Sophomores in buildups were
chosen from those with the lowest
priority points, said Sansola.
Meanwhile, 196, or ten percent
of "campus housed" students, re-
main at Canterbury Gardens, an
apartment complex in Poughkeep-
sie where Marist rents apartments
to accommodate the overflow of

took three and a half months
to get the show moving," said Stef-

period of time." You have to get

Beginning a show like the mor-
ning show is a hit or miss proposi-
tion, said Steffanci.
A
lot of consideration has to be
given to the talents' ability and
compatibility with each other, Stef-
fanci said.
"If
you don't work well
together you can't be number
one,". he said.

College to push public service
by
Ken
Foye
A federal grant received by
.
Marist during the summer
will
soon

earn
tui-

volunteer community service.
The grant, awarded by the Fund
for the

Improvement of Post-
secondary Education (FIPSE) of
the U.S. Department of Education,
will enable Marist to grant

scholarships each semester
·
to
students selected for the program.
The program will address the
problem of rising college tuition
costs, as well as lack of student,
awareness of community and social
affairs, said Philip Koshkin-
Youritzin, who was hired as pro-
ject coordinator by the Office of
Student Affairs.
The Financial Aid Office deter-
mines which students are eligible
for the program. The office has
listed 187 Marist freshmen as eligi-
ble for the program.
·
Marist
will
fund scholarships for
12
of these students next semester.
said Koshkin-Youritzin.
,
In the
future, student participation
is
pro-
jected at 50 students for the spring
1989 semester
;
Marist will seek
funds for the additional students
from corporations and other
private-sector sources.
Students participating
in
the pro-
gram must show financial need,
said Koshkin-Youritzin.
"12
students out of
180
students
is only
a
beginning," said Assistant
Dean of Students Deborah Bell,
who will oversee the program .
"The support we'll give to people
coming in will make the program
succeed."
Bell said the program will
specifically include freshmen
because of their outlook on their
environment. "Most freshmen are
involved on campus in internal
things," she said. "Outside things
·
are very toreign to them."
Students' lack of community
awareness
is
a nationwide problem,
said Gerard A. Cox, vice president
for student affairs. "Students tend
to be focused on careers," he said,
'.'and little atte1;1tion is paid to the
community around them."

students requesting housing. At the
start of the
-
semester, 203 students
were assigned to Canterbury.
The seven that left Canterbury
either requested to be moved on
campus or wfthdrew from housing,
said Sansola.The 196 remaining at
Canterbury did not request to be
moved on campus.
The overcrowding in the
-
dorms
does not violate fire or health
regulations, said Sansola.
Marist requires all freshmen to
live on campus unless they com-
mute or reside with relatives in the

area. Freshmen must remain in
buildups until vacancies occur.
Fire alarm

Sunday after

alarm around 5:30 p.m.
·
.
Also,
Fairview fire officials have
given
the college until this Sunday
to correct more
.
than 20 fire code
violations they found in the
townhouse when responding to the
alarm.
On Monday, Joe Waters, direc-
tor of security, met with Town of
Poughkeepsie Fire Inspector Don
Murphy and Deputy Fire Chief
Dick Dormeyer to discuss why part
of the underground wiring system
connected to the alarms failed to
_
operate.
·
The fire alarm system in all
cam-
pus buildings has two underground
lines that run from each alarm to
Donnelly Hall.
During Sunday's incident, one of
the
lines
automatically triggered an
alarm box in the Marist Security
office to notify Security personnel,
who called the Fairview Fire
Department, said Waters.
The other line, believed by fire
officials to have failed, is suppos-
ed to automatically send an alarm
signal from phone
lines
in
Donnelly
to an alarm control center in Dut-
chess County. There,
a
computer
· is supposed to automatically direct
the signal to the appropriate coun-
ty fire department.
Fire officials say they never
received the automatic alarm
·
from
the control center and instead had
to rely on the phone call from
Marist Security.
However,
officials at Sentry F'rre
Alarms, the company that install-
ed the wiring that runs to the con-
trol center, said they are unsure
whether the system actually failed.
Sentry, based in New City, N.
Y.,
has an automatic daily check of the
system and found no problems
with it before or after the smoke
alarm, according to Kris Skinner,
Sentry office manager. Also, a
company service technician tested
the system on campus Monday and
judged it fully operational, she
said.

That made it easier to begin
working together on the show, said
Steffanci.
"It's much more exciting to do
-
it this way, and it's much more
work. We made a commitment to
expand the show when we became
a team. I couldn't do what we do,
alone," said Schantz, who is also
and adjunct professor of broad-
casting at at Marist.
What makes a good team on the
air is not something you can ex-
plain, said Steffanci. "It's the most
intangible part of FM radio today.
It doesn't make sense
.
"
It has something to do with the
time of day, the talent and the au-
dience, said Steffanci. It's a goal of
most radio talent to be part of a
team
but it's also a high pressure
position, he added.

Waters, on the other hand, said
be is certain the system did not
work at the time of the alarm.
"We know there was a malfunc-
tion," he said. "County head

quarters did not get the signal."
Regarding the fire code viola-
tions officials found in the
townhouse, Dormeyer listed infrac-
tions including the illegal use of ex-
tension cords, homemade electrical
junction boxes and a severed lamp
cord that was held together with
Scotch tape.
Other violations included ex-
cessive garbage buildup in a barrel,
approximately 200 sq. feet of paper

Rich Sabol, a 20-year-old junior

Blood donors

· Lauren Arthur
Imagine being in a hospital
equipped room with the best
medical technology and staff
available, yet nothing
can
help you.
What is sounding like an episode
of "The Twilight Zone," is actual-
ly reality if there is a blood
shortage.
Recently, Brian Wence), a junior
from Cool Spring, N. Y.
faced
a
similar situation. A family member
was in the hospital and had trou-

about the effects of a blood shor-

The joys of being a ~temp':
It's
a fast way to a fast buck
by Kristine Manning
·
On her first day on the job, Tara Doherty
found herself standing before a Holiday Inn
door with a "do not disturb" sign.
Doherty, a Marist senior, had received a
temporary job assignment
as
an assistant in
a foreign rug auction. But when she arrived
at the designated warehouse, she was met in
. the parking lot by a man who took her name
and informed her that she was to go to the
Holiday Inn.
'
She did get that far, but the door and the
sign were too much.
"I felt like such a Whimp, but I wasn't
about to enter a stranger's room, especially
one with a 'do not disturb' sign on it," she
said.
Like many people who have spent time as
temporary workers -
better known as temps
-
Doherty, a communication
arts
major
from Brentwood,
N.Y.,
found the work to
be
a good way to make some quick money
and pick up experience -
and occasionally
the source of a few adventures.
Temporary agencies hire employees to
work anywhere from one day to one year.
Applicants are required to take tests relating
to the field of their desired employment as
well as pass a screening test.
Doherty's next job proved to
be
much
more rewarding. She was sent to Gull Inc.
where she was hired for one week but ended
up being asked to remain for the rest of the
summer.
Doherty's second experience is not an un-
common one for people hired through tem-
porary agencies. Sharon Chabinca, owner of
Forbes temporary agency in Poughkeepsie,
said that
800!0
of
all
temps get hired to stay
on pennanentiy.
At Forbes, applicants are required to fill
out an application and take tests in typing,
basic math, and vocabulary. Employees can
make anywhere between $4.50 to $6.00 an
hour.
Chabinca said the temporary agencies
compete intensely in the Hudson _Valley. "In
this area there are morejobs than there are
people to fill them," she said. "Most peo-
ple who are .available are working." In
Poughkeepsie alone there are approximate-
ly 12 agencies, she said.
Chabinca said that temporary agencies are
popular because they offer flexible hours and
experience. "A lot of people come to us
because they are not sure what they want to
do," she said. "Moving from job to job
gives them a view of different atmospheres."
Denise Shea is just the type Chabinca is
talking about. Shea, a senior finance major
from Brooklyn, went to Cosmopolitan
Agency because she wasn't sure what she
wanted to do after graduation.
"I wanted to experience what it would be
like doing work in my field," she said. "I
had to rmd out what I wanted to do and what
I didn't want to do."
Shea worked at the American Stock Ex-
change and Dillon and Reed and ended up
spending most of the summer at Solomon
Brothers where she became assistant to an
analyst in the accounting department.
But experience isn't all that temps receive.
Sometimes there is also a feeling of resent-
ment from co-workers. Shea was a victim of
this her first day at Solomon Brothers.
"At nine in the morning someone told me
what I was supposed to do, and then no one
spoke to me the rest of the day, not even a
hello," she said.
Doherty also received the cold shoulder
treatment.
"I
worked at Gull all summer and
they treated the temps like we had a disease,"
she said. "They gav,e us all the menial chores
that they themselves didn't want to do," she
said.
Doherty remembers walking into a bar and
grill for lunch one afternoon and the only
people there were full-time employees from
Gull. When Doherty and the other temps
walked
in
the fellow employees turned and
looked and not one of them said hello.
But Joanne Barone, a Dutchess Temp
working at Marist, didn't have such ex-
periences. "You have to be friendly and out-
going or else everyone is going to treat you
like you're a stone taking up space in a
chair," she said.
Barone, who graduated from SUNY
Binghampton in 1987, has been temping for
only four months but has been to eight
places, five of them at Marist.
She went to the Dutchess Temp Agency
because she wanted to make money fast and
knew that temps are always in demand.
Barone, who said she really liked being a
temp because she met alot of people and
becaµse she gets bored easily, will begin her
permenant job at Morgan Guarantee as
Financial Analyst next week.
But secretarial work is not all that temp
agencies offer. At McCabe Personnel, jobs
range from unskilled labor to professional
accounting. Temps can make anywhere from
$4
to $50
an
hour.
And the temps are not the only ones mak-
ing the
money. Temp agencies
can charge a
company
$12
per
hour and only give
their
temp $6.
Then why go

Marist team
gets kicks
behind bars
by Stacey McDonnell
The competition was stiff. The
two teams battled to win the soc-
cer game. The final score was in
favor of the opposing team
(4-0),
but the losing team was richer for
the experience.
Why? The game was a contest
between
a
select group of players
from the Marist College Intramurel
Soccer Team and the State team
from the Fishkill Correctional
Facility.
But the game was not solely
played to determine a winner. It
was played to provide each team
with a learning experience that
neither would forget.
Larry Collins, the assistant
recreational supervisor of the facili-
ty, initiated discussions about such
an event in September, according
to Bob Lynch, assistant director of
activities.
Lynch, who acts as a liason bet-
ween Marist and the prison, along
with
Mateo
Velasquez,
a
sophomore from New York City,
organized the team
to
play
three
games against the inmates.
The program was originally
designed to give the inmates a
chance to work on socialization
skills and to give the community an
idea of what goes on in a prison,
Lynch said.
Outside teams have been coming
into the prison for such contests for
the past 20 years, according to Col-
lins, but this was the first time a
team from Marist went against the
inmates.
Lynch expressed satisfaction
with the way things have worked
out.
"My goal was to show the
students the essence of life outside
of the college community," he
said. "The players fulfilled this
goal and did even more."
According to Lynch, the team-
mates "psyched" themselves for
the game. They were able to forget
about the barbed wire that enclos-
ed the field and put aside their ap-
prehensions about the inmates, he
said.
Even though the members of the
Marist team had never played
together before, Velasquez said,
they
demonstrated
strong
teamwork.
But the team from Fishkill
boasted their talent and skill as
well.
It was not the talent of the in-
mates that impressed Marist the
most, however, but the amount of
respect given to them by the
Fishkill team, according to team
members.
"We were respected as a team,"
Velasquez said, "There was no
hard play and no hard feelings."
"I'm looking foward to going
back," said freshman John Zanni
of Danbury, Conn., "I hope the
program will continue."

OP-inion
House
·
Don't dream it's over.
It's time Marist began taking the housing crisis seriously. With
more than two-thirds of the fall semester behind us, nearly 150
freshmen are still living in "temporary" housing situations.
"Buildups" -
Marist's word for overcrowding -
were first
implimented as a temporary solution to overcrowding in freshman
dorms. Overcrowding occurs when more applicants than expected
decide to enroll in
a
given freshman class.
Th~ coUege also "overbooks" housing, predicting that a cer-
tain percentage of freshmen will drop out before the end of the
first semester.
Best estimates now indicate that the number of buildups won't
decrease significantly until next semester. But there are no
guarantees.
Although predictions can never be 100 percent accurate, the
fact remains that the college, year after year, accepts far more
students than the housing office
can
accomodate.
The result
is
a situation that is completely unacceptable. In most
buildups, three freshmen live in a room built for two. That means
two desks for three people and severly limited living space.
Currently, students in buildups recieve only a
15
percent rebate
of housing costs, a small compensation for a great inconvenience.
There is only one fair solution to the problem: Marist should
refund 100 percent of housing costs to students in buildups until
they are given the option to move into normal rooms.
Such financial compensation may seem harsh - costing the col-
lege $1,130 per-freshman in each buildup -
but it's the least that
should be done for students who have been short-changed.
And the motivation of losing approximately $48,000 this
semester should serve to prevent the recurrance' of the problem
with next year's freshmen.
The solution is not easy to accept. But as the housing crisis
grows every year, so must the severity of preventative measures._
Adjusting to college in freshman year can be tough enough
without having to deal with deplorable housing conditions.

·uncle Ron's legacy:
Th~
Reagan ·Doctrine.
by
Tim
Reisert
As
we
approach the closing years
of the
Reagan
Administration, we
can see that Ronald Reagan and the
conservative movement have
forever altered the landscape of
American political debate. The
landmark achievement of Ronald
Reagan in the field of foreign
policy has been the Reagan
Doctrine.
Following in the footsteps of his
illustrious predecessors, Reagan
.
has promulgated a cogent and
workable thesis
·
which can help
make the world safe for
democracy. It is a logical progres-
sion of history - the Monroe Doc-
trine, the Roosevelt Corrolary, the
Truman Doctrine, the Kennedy
Doctrine, and now the Reagan
Doctrine.
Going beyond the inadequate
policies of containment, which
doomed the people of Hungary and
Czechoslovakia to Leninist slavery,
the Reagan Doctrine seeks to
liberate nations from the bondage
of totalitarian communism by giv-
ing the citizens of these nations the
means to throw off the Communist
yoke.
The American Left and its
spokesman, the Liberal Media,
have chosen the Contras and
Nicaragua as the ideological bat-
tleground most convenient for
trashing the Reagan Doctrine. They
seek to portray
·
Nicaragua as the
ideal example of how the Reagan
Doctrine works.
In fact, the Contras in Nicaragua
are the worst example in today's
world of the Reagan Doctrine.
They just barely qualify as pertain-
ing to the Reagan Doctrine in that
they are staunchly anti-Communist
and willing to fight and die for
freedom regardless of outside sup-

port

Their

less
·
than auspicious
qualities are bases in foreign na-
tions, disunity of command, lack
of organization and fluctuating
support.
.
The main Contra bases are in
Honduras. This
makes
them
vulnerable to the whims of the
Honduran government as well as
separating them from the people
that they must rely on for support.
There are
·
also so
·
many ~fferent
Contra groups that do not
cooperate that the actions of one

·
all.
When a Nicaraguan village is at-
tacked the American media may
say that the "Contras" did it. Who
are they talking about? Was it the
FDN, KISAN, FARN, or CON
which
itself
includes
the
Nicaraguan Private Sector in Exile,
Democratic Nicaraguan Workers'
Solidarity, Union of Nicaraguan
Workers and P~ants, Nicaraguan
Social Christian Party in Exile,
Social Democratic Movement of
Nicaragua, and the Independent
Liberal Party in Exile?
Any one of these groups could
have carried out the operation, but
all the American people get to hear
is that the "Contras" did it.
It
might not even be a Contra group
that the U.S. is funding. The bias
of the Liberal Media contributes to
the general confusion and so
undermines the Contra cause. For
these reasons it can surely be seen
that the Nicaraguan Resistance is
less than an ideal example of how
the Reagan Doctrine works.
There are however countless
good examples of the Reagan Doc-
trine at work. These include Savim-
bi's UNIT A in Angola, RENAMO
in Mozambique, theMujahideen in
Afghanistan, the Karen rebels in
Burma, the EPLF in Ethiopia, and
of course the successful liberation
of Grenada.
All of the aforementioned have

sizable portions
thereof. They are in Savimbi's
words, "one with the people."
Savimbi, like many others at his
time received his revolutionary
training
in the People's Republic of
China.
He says "From Mao and the
Communists, I learned how to
fight and win a guerrilla war. I also
learned how not to run an economy
or a nation." What Savimbi learn-
ed was Mao
.
Tse-tung's own
method of guerrilla war. He
follows Mao's revolutionary ideas
while at the same time rejecting the
Marxist ideology of Mao. UNIT A,
as
well as
many of the aforemens
tioned groups, establishes schools
and hospitals in occupied territory
and attempts to guarantee freedom
of religion and trade.
These
anti-Communist
movements are also doing quite
BLOOM COUNTY
well, considering the Soviets pour
much more cash into the regions
than we do. Why is it then the we
do not hear about these wars of na-
tional liberation? The Contras get
one helluva lot more press
·
than
RENAMO or the EPLF. I'll even
wager that the majority of the peo-
ple reading this don't even know
that there is a civil war going on in
Ethiopia much less know what
EPLF stands for.
Why is this? It is the result of the
American Left subverting the cause
of democracy. They are afraid that
if the U.S. backs an anti-
Communist resistance movement,
the Soviets will escalate their in-
volvement and the U.S. will be
tugged down the slippery slope to
that dreaded fear of all Lefties -
"another Vietnam."
They feel that seriously taking
the Soviets to task on chemical
weapons use in Afghanistan will
ruin the new pseudo-detente and
imperil arms control.
The fact is that the U.S. can no
longer ignore the fate of millions
of oppressed people living in
Gulag-like conditions. The people
of Afghanistan refuse to have their
nation raped by the Soviet occupa-
tion forces and collectivist
totalitarianism.
Despite being ignored by most of
the world as just a minor Soviet
human rights problem the Afghan
people have waged their Islamic
holy war for almost a
·
decade
against the Soviety juggernaut
We can roll back the tide of the
Communist menace - Write your
congressman and tell him that you
won't stand for totalitarianism in
any nation.

I never thought that INXS would
become the household name that
they have over the past couple of
years. But then again, I never
thought they were more than just
slightly cool.

and all that did for our society in

But INXS are indeed a good
bunch. They may not rock with the
conviction of the aforementioned
Gurus, but they do groove, as evi-

This week, we try something
new.
That's right; your column of col-
umns is changing. Instead of
writing about
10
things (music,
food, bars, whatever) that I find
amusing, this week I'm going to list
10
people from Marist and the sur-
rounding free world that I find
remotely interesting. Please note:
These views do not represent those
of the editors of this paper -
in
fact, I try to keep it that way.
1.
Paulina Porizkova - Model:
To
me, she is the perfect woman.
Absolutely stunning. Actually,
she's crazy about me, but I just
can't find the time for her.
2.
Rik Smits -
Marist student:
I call Rik a Marist student for good
reason. Rik is the most famous per-
son to ever attend Marist. But what
I think is unique about him is his
humility. He's not an egotistical
nerd.
3.
Robert Christga·u -
Music
columnist,
The
Village Voice:
It
seems that there is no band this
man hasn't heard of. He writes
very consicely and dosen't mince
words. Plus he likes The Dickies.
4.
Joe O'Brien -
Marist
stu-
dent(?):
The King of Mess. Many
a man has patterned his life after
Joe. What is it about a guy that
dosen't comb his hair that attracts
women?
5. Billy Coleman -
Marist
graduate, part-time D.J.:
When
Billy is in the mood there isn't a
club D.J. in the world that
cim
rival
him. He spins his version of new
wave dance music the third Thurs-
day of every month at Berties.
6. Robert Plant - Singer:
I like
Plant, and not just because I love
Zeppelin. He's a surviver, a man
that has made it through the war
with his originality and energy in-
tact. I wish I could say the same

QUIT TIPS
Hide all ashtrays, matches, etc.
Lay in a supply of sugarless
gum, carrot sticks, etc.
Drink lots of liquids, but pass
up coffee & alcohol.
Tell everyone you're quitting
for the day.
When the urge to smoke hits,
take a deep breath, hold it for
10
seconds,
& release it
slowly.
Exercise to relieve the tension.
Try
the "buddy system," and
ask
a
friend to quit too.

It was hot.
I
didn't like it.
The Devil met me at

He grabbed me by the hair and
threw me into the back of his 1979
Camaro. The craft had big, pink
fuzzy dice hanging from the rear

I
knew
I
was in hell.
"Who are you?" I badgered.

said. "You

As
Lennie turned around I notic-

I screamed, "Please, oh dear
God, rid me of this hell-born

God answered: "No."
Lennie pulled up to his house.
Again
he dragged me by the hair
into his duplex.

"Lennie, oh Lennie, -

"Oh, sorry- Why am

I
said.
"Murray," he said as he looked
down and

put his hand to my
shoulder, "You're a jerk."
"Oh."
Lennie tied me down to a movie
theater seat in his living room. I
couldn't get comfortable. I could
never get C0\13fortable in movie
theater seats. He knew this.
Lenrue then assumed the shape
of Captain Stubing from the Love

Out of nowhere the whole cast
of the Love Boat came out and
each licked their index finger and
stuck it in my left ear.
"No," I screamed, "I hate wet

willies; I really do ... Ahhhhhh!"
Lennie seemed to know about
everything I hated.
"Now for some real fun," he
said.
I began to sweat. What could
be
worse than wet willies?
Lennie wheeled in a television set
with a VCR. He clicked in a 120
minute cassette of "Murder She

i
cried.
"After this I have three more
cassettes of "Different Strokes" re-

I couldn't close my eyes because

"Murray, why don't we go out

I
was skeptical, but not stupid.
"Lennie, you are the most

I said.

"Well then, lets go," he said in

Against abortion
To the Editor:
I find the stand taken by Mer-
rinth Brown in the Nov. S issue of
The Circle against the California
parental consent law to be
reprehensible, naive and
ill
thought
out.
The
law has nothing to do with
being conservative, liberal, or of
any other political leaning. It is
simply a way of the state insuring
the safety of these girls ..

is
it perh~ps
beeause those advocating abortion
rights are afraid that if these girls
think about this situation rational-
ly, which is what talking to their
parents would force them to do,
they would
see
how wrong abortion
is and Liberal arguments of "the
people" wanting this right would
go do~n the drain.
The nonsense about children of

took
in not judging a group of people?
As
for the American
Civil
Liber-
ties Union, all it has accomplished
since its inception is to erode the
values upon which
.
our Constitu-
tion was based and pervert the in-
tentions of the Founding Fathers in
writing this Constitution, and I
don't give a fig for the statistics
they use to support their distorted
priorities.
I
do agree that the men/teenage
boys should share in the conse-
quences of their actions. Both par-
ties made the decision to engage in
the act, both parties should share
in the result, good or bad. Since it
would be silly to gripe about the
physical consequences and who
should bear them (which is what a
good number of feminists do) the
male should contribute in a greater
proportion
.
to the child's ran:m~ial
and moral support and upbnngang
than the woman; to balance this
situation somewhat.
As
for the constitutionality of
the Jaw, let us
bear
in mind that the
Constitution states that no one
shall be "deprived of life, liberty
or property without due process of
the law."
I
don't see the child be-
ing given a trial by jury, or the
series of appeals all the way to the
Supreme Court being given to
murderers. And the argument of
the fetus not being human just
doesn't wash. A large number of
biologists testified before both

human life, begins at conception.
These are men and women who
have dedicated their entire lives to
the study of lives, and anyone who,
without similar training, seeks to
contradict them must be extreme-
ly arrog~t, or extremely naive.
In conclusion, let me
state that
my beliefs are
based
upon logic~
.

not religion, and
I
would be hap-
py to discuss theni with anyone
who wishes. I live in Sheahan 206,

November 12, 1987- THE CIRCLE- Page 9
Campus leaders: The bashing is getting old
by
.
Mike O'Keeffe
.
(CPS) -
Education-bashing has
become a national fad, and
cam-
pus leaders - while grateful for the
attention -
say they're beginning
to resent it.
Since 1983 - when the Carnegie
Foundation and the U.S.
Depart-
ment
of Education issued separate,
widely ilifluential reports aiticizing
American higher education
.
-
groups, associations and publishers
have been releasing other critiques
at a dizzying rate.
·
The Education Commission of
the States, the American
.
Council
on Education, the Holnies Group,
the National Education Associa-
tion, the National Council on State
Legislatures, among literally
dozens of others,
all
have con-
tributed still more
"reports"
to the
fad in recent' months.
Since 1983, reports have savag-
ed the state of college teaching pro-
grams,
college ethical instruction,
student materialism, disrepair in
campus research labs, ad-
·
ministrative bureaucracies arid vir-
tually every other aspect of
American higher education.
The avalanche of reports,
however, is beginning to strike .
some educators as excessive.
·
'
"The extent of the problem is
vastly overstated," said ProL
Stephen Brookfield of Columbia
University Teachers College.
"We may well need to
im-
prove," added University of
.
California-Santa
Barbara
Chancellor Barbara Uehling, "but
we're not in that bad a shape."
"I
give colleges a good grade
ove~," Robert Hochstein of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching official
said. "But it's a grade that could
be
improved."
.
.
Colleges arc easy targets for
criticism, .Uehling noted. "There's
no tangible output measures, no
bottom line."
·
Most higher education-bashing,
said the American Council on
Education's Elaine
·
El-Khawas,
"has been rhetorical rather than
substantive,
·
image-creating rather
than serious debate. I'm all for a
higher accountability, but some of
the criticisms arc not of value to
educators. They serve a political
agenda."
Many critics, she said, have not
been
paying attention
because
most
campuses already have reviewed
and reformed their curricula.·
"Their efforts may not have led
to a best seller," El-Khawas said,
referring to the success of Allan
Bloom's "The Closing of the
American Mind" and E.D.
Hirsch's "Cultural Literacy,"
which argue that colleges don't
teach students basic knowledge,
"but there's no doubt educators
have been addressing their issues.•'
"Some of the criticisms are un-
justified," agreed Hood College
President Martha Church. "We're
trying to prepare students for the
future, but they're making it dif-
ficult for us to do so."
Indeed, there's some evidence all
the criticism is eroding public sup-
port for higher education. A
Media-General poll conducted in
September, 1987, found a majori-
ty of Americans don't believe col-
leges
are still
a
good value for the
money.
Group Attitudes Corporation, a
research organization, found that
the number of Americans who
think the overall quality of higher
education in the United States is
good or excellent has declined in re-
cent years
.
Such sentiments make it harder
to get funding from Congress and
state legislatures.
Mayor Ko~h fights to
.
keep head above water
by Jonna Spilbor
If New York City Mayor Ed-
ward Koch wants to drink from the
Hudson, he'll have to fight a few
local conservation groups first.
According to a task force ap-
pointed by the mayor, two to three
million gallons of water may have
to
be
taken from the Hudson River
on a regular basis to satisfy the ci-
ty's needs, estimated at nearly
2
billion gallons per day. The city
now uses 1.5 billion daily obtain-
ed from other reservoirs.
Koch has recently
taken
steps
through the Department of En-
vironmental Conservation in hopes
of expanding the Hudson · River
pumping station at Chelsea, about
6 miles south of Poughkeepsie.
Chelsea has previously been used
in
times of emergency draught.
Groups such as the Hudsoli
·
·
River Sloop Clearwater, Scenic
Hudson and the Hudson River
Fishermen Association said they
are opposed to the proposal.
"It WOJ.dd be giving New York
City 'Carte Blanche' to use the
Hudson," said Bridget Barclay, en-
vironmental director of Clear-
water. "We are very much against
it for one simple fact: that they
aren't paying attention to the en-
vironmental regards of the
Hudson:"
Clearwater members including
Barclay have begun pre-hearing
conferences with the Department
of Environmental Conservation to
fight the management strategy
plan.
According to Barclay, using the
Catskill and Delaware reservoir
system in the Hudson Valley could
greatly affect the river's salt
balance.
"The more fresh water removed
could lead to an unacceptable salt

Viewpoint to:
The Circle
level north of the city," said
Barclay. "There's just not enough
information in the DEC's strategy.
The salt front studies are just
beginning."
Officials from Dutchess County
said pumping a large amount of
water from
this
area could draw the
Hudson's salt front north, en-
dangering the water supplies of
Poughkeepsie and Rhinebeck.
According to Barclay, the Hud-
son's salt surplus heads south when
the water level is above average, as
in
the spring. "In
dry
years, the salt
has come to Poughkeepsie," she
said.
This would affect residents in
Poughkeepsie and other
towns
that
alsouse the Hudson as a source of
water, she said. In times of average
·
rainfall and temperature, the salt
front stays evenly dispersed, with
slightly more in the New York Ci-
ty area.
-Another concern,
·
according to
Barclay, is the hllrm that would
come
·
to the fish and necessary
plants in the river.
Barcaly said enstrainment would
occur because of the largcpipes
which would be necessary to pump
the water
.
Fish, larva and vital
planckton would be su
.
cked against
the screens located at the ends of
the pipes, and would die.
The city's water management
plan also revealed that by the year
2030, New York City will need an
additional 800 million gallons of
water per day; a vital statistic
in
the
long range plans for the Hudson
River.
"There's a lot of guess work go-
ing on," Barclay said. She added
that there could be a great possibili-
ty of the greenhouse effect 50 years
from now that should be taken in-
to consideration.
Environmental Director of
Scenic Hudson, Cara Lee, said the
plan displays a strong bias toward
New York City's future needs.
According
·
to
national
-
statistics,the average amount of
water used
per
person daily is about -
60 gallons. For people in the Hud-

Students' ·cars

if~not'
registered
by Tim
Besser
Approximately one-third of
Marist College students have not
yet registered their cars with the
college, according to Joseph J.
Waters, director of safety and
security.
Of the estimated 1,200 cars on
campus, only 800 have been issued
parking permits, despite new·
smaller window stickers, Waters
said.
Residents and commuters who
registered cars in the past, but
haven't this year, will be receiving
letters this week warning them to
register their car or face the
possibilty of having it towed, ac-
cording to Waters.
"I don't make any money on
towing," said Waters. "I don't like
to tow. I'll be very happy ifl don't
tow anybody."
· don't think it is fair to other
students."
-This year the college switched
from the large stickers that went on
the rear bumper to much smaller
ones that go on the window.
Some members of the faculty
and staff thought the large bumper
stickers were too big and that
smaller window stickers would be
more appropriate, Waters said. .
"They didn't like to put a sticker
on the bumper of a new
$16,000
or
$20,000
car."
Now the college is also taking
down the car's registration
number. This enables the college to
make sure that the person is
registering their own car, not so-
meone else's.
"In the past we would have a
few freshman who. would get an
upperclassmen without a car to
register theirs," Waters
said.
"This
way we don't have to tie up a police
computer
to · check
the
registrations.''

began issuing tickets last

largely ineffective,
Waters said, because if tickets are
not paid they are just added to the ·
bill at the end of the semester, and
then most of the time parents end
up paying them.
Waters said a more effective way
to deal with the problem is to put
the large orange stickers on the
windows of illegally parked cars.
"They can't put that off," said
Waters. "They don't usually like to
leave the campus with the sticker
on the car. We have found that that
is effective."

help you get more out of
it.
It is much harder to catch com-
muters who didn't register their
cars, Waters said. If they are only
on campus a couple of days a week,
it is nearly impossible to nab them,
unless they get a ticket for
something else.,
According to Waters, letters
were sent to
students in
September
advising them of the new parking
regulations, and an ad was placed
in the Circle describing the winter
parking rules.
"I don't know what else I can
do," he said. "Vassar charges $25
for students to register their cars.
Here there is no expense to
students. Some just like to go

Lynch mentioned the possibility
of opening the program to other
sports.
Marist has been invited to the
.Powerlift Invitational -
a
weightlifting tournament at the
prison -
and to play indoor soc-
cer with the inmates.
The final game of the series will
be held on Sunday, Nov.
15.
Lynch said he's optimistic about
the game.
"The team will have had more
time to work as a whole. They will
build their stamina to be able to
play the longer periods -
25
minutes - and we will be bringing
four more players to use as
substitutes. The team has already
proved its initiative and coopera-
tion, now
it is just a matter of
practice."
He added, "You have to
be
physically in a prison to realize that
these inmates are humans, too.
If
you treat someone kindly, ther can
sometimes
be
paybacks."
Butto Marist team members and
the inmates, the reward was the

Kevin Walsh loves to play
hockey and football, but
it
was
crim
·
e that brought him to
Marisi College.
A freshman defenseman for
. the Marist hockey team, Walsh
was lured to Marist by a strong
criminal justice program - but
the temptation of the ice was
just too great.
·
..
.
·
"You don't go to a school
·
that's club just to play hockey,"
said Walsh.
"I
don't want to
sound ironic, but I wouldn't
have
come to
Marist
if it didn't
have
a
hockey team."
Walsh said he was more in-
terested in finding a quality pro-
·
gram than a successful team.
He found his program right
in his own backyard.
A Wappingers Falls native,
.
Walsh has been making Hudson
Valley hockey news since he was
·
five years old.
Throughout his career at Our
Lady of Lourdes High School in
Poughkeepsie, Walsh was a
constant fixture on the Mid-
Hudson High School League
All-Star team. During his senior
yeai, Walsh contributed four
goals and 14 assists for the War-
riors and was named to the
Poughkeepsie Journal All-Star
'
team.
Walsh's talents aren't limited
to the ice. Back at Lourdes,
Walsh was a major contributer
to the Warrior pigskin success.
!iighlighting
·
his football career,
the Warriors finished with an
unblemished 9-0 record in his
junior year.
His appearance at the Mid-
Hudson Civic Center was
a
suprise to first-year coach John
Lentz. A Marist graduate, Lentz
·
·
said he first heard of Walsh's in-
tentions
to
play for Marist from
the coach of an opposing team.
·
Lentz said he was curious
when the hockey coach at the
University of Scranton said he
was mad at him. "He told me,
'We
drafted him and he wants
to play for you',
I
said, 'Real-
ly?' "
"I was extactic about that,'"
said Lentz.
A<:;cording to Lentz, Marist
head football coach Mike Malet
had his eyes on Walsh too.
·
Lentz said Malet jokingly ex-
pressed anger at Lentz for tak-
ing one of 'his players.'
Walsh said he thought about
playing football at Marist. "I
could have played for (football)
for Marist," he said. "I love
them both, but I couldn't play
both. It'd take up too much
time,"
That dosen't mean Walsh
contributes little time to foot-
ball. Every afternoon,
Walsh
relives his high school football
days as an assistant coach of the
Lourdes varsity football team.
He devoted his Saturdays this
fall to tr!lveling with the team.
His classes are over by 4
p.~ .• then it's off to Lourdes
for practice. He returns to
Marist with a few hours to kill
before hitting th~ ice at 11 or
11:30 p.m., for hockey practice.
"Since there's only
.
one rink
in the area, it's hard to get ice
time," Walsh said. This causes
the Red Foxes to resort to such
unusual hours for practice
sessions.
Walsh said this inconvenince
is one he was unprepared for.
He was also suprised by a
change in this year's team.
"It's
totally different,"
Walsh said. "The key word is
team. Last year there wasn't any
unity from what I saw
.
This
year it's very unified."

Marist spikers serve
·
up victories
by
Don Reardon
The Marist College women's
volleyball team topped off one of
its finest weeks with a sizzling win
over Quinnipiac Friday, according
t
_
o Head Coach Vic VanCarpels.
The squad defeated Queens Col-
lege Nov
2.,
and fell to Seton Hall
Nov 3.
"The Queens College game was
our toughest win this year,'' said
VanCarpels.
"They
had a big crowd at the
match and they were very µnruly,''
he said. "It took aw;ty from our
game and we ended up losing the
first two matches."
VanCarpels said crowd control
is a duty of the home coach.
"I protested
.
with the Queens
coach and the official," he said.
"I
actually asked the Queens coach to
quiet down the crowd and she said
no." ·
·
After losing the first two mat-
ches the Red Foxes came back to
oust Queens 15-5, 15-1
J
and 15-12.
"It was our biggest win this
year," said VanCarpels.
The spikers weren't as lucky
against Seton Hall.
"We played very well," he said.
"Seton Hall is a full scholarship
team with a lot of big people."
"At one point we had.Jean Per-
nice and Kerry Rielly in our front
row -
I think they average about
5-4," said VanCarpels, whose
squad lost close matches at 17-15,
15-12 and 15-12.
"Seton Hall recently hired a pro-
fessional coach from France who's
helped their program tremendous-
ly," he said.
Friday, the Red Foxes thr:ashed
Quinnipiac with scores of 15-8,
15-5,
and 15-2.
"We pretty much knew we could
handle Quinnipiac before the game
even started,'' VanCarpels said.
VanCarpcls said his squad will
face the three toughest matches of
the season next week.
"We're going to play Rutgers,
FDU and Northeastern all nex!
week," said VanCarpels.
The Huskies of Northeastern will
be the best ofthe three, according
to VanCarpels.
"They will be the top seed from
the east at NCAA's," he said.
"I'm
going to scrimmage against the girb
all week so they get used to more
height and velocity."
VanCarpels said his team pro-
bably wouldn't get a bid at
ECAC's even with a triple win
week over the big guns.

Seven Marist runners finished

and Field Association Cross Coun-
try
Championship race in Schenec-
tady,
N.Y.,
yet Marist Men's Cross
Country Coach Stevens observed
the race differently.
"We were running obviously
with five guys this race,'' said
Stevens.
Despite lackluster performances
by freshmen Scott Kendall and
Mike Coakley, the Marist College
men's cross country team finished
its season by placing 10th at the
N.Y.S.T.& F.A. cross country
championships Saturday
.
The Red
Foxes scored 268 points, far behind
victorious Rochester's 32 points.
Senior Don Reardon, bothered
by a nagging patellar tendon in-
jury, led Marist with his 14th-place
finish. Reardon
•
finished the five-
mile course in 26:24, exactly one
minute behind winner Jukka Tarn-
mosuo of St. Lawrence. .
Freshman Kevin Brennan
followed Reardon, finishing 28th in
26:58. "Kevin Brennan ran the best
of anyone," said Stevens.
Bob Sweeney placed 73rd in
28:05, Steve Brennan finished 76th
in 28:09 and Dave Blondin was
79th in 28:14.
Normally, each team's top five
runners dictate the outcome of a
race by scoring the only points. In
Schenectady however, Kendall and
Coakley's subpar performances
may have affected the team's place
in the final standings.
Kendall, hindered by a foot in-
jury, hobbled to a 119-place finish.
Coakley followed him in 121st
place. Their efforts fragmented

Marist's "five-pack" of five
runners.
Before the race, Stevens expected
Sweeney, Steve Brennan, Blondin,
Coakley and Kendall to congregate
and follow Reardon and Kevin
Brennan during the race. The Red
Foxes did have a pack at the finish
-
a "three pack" of Sweeney,
Steve Brennan and Blondin.

The gQal of any veteran sWim -
coach is for his or her team to
produce· a· few outstanding
records as the end of the season
approaches.
Doug Backlund has been
coaching the women's swim
team at Marist for less than a
month.
Doug Backlund's squad shat-
tered six school records in the
first meet of the season Thurs-
day while defeating crosstown-
rival Vassar.
It's time to set new goals,
Doug.
"This was better than
anything
I could possibly ex-
pect," said Backlund.
"For anyone to swim a per-
sonal best in the first meet of the
season is unheard of,"
Backlund· said. "Three of our
school records were broken in
the first two events of the
meet." .
Marist will challenge visiting
SUNY Nevi Paltz Wednesday.
The Red Foxes swam at New
York University yesterday and
competed Saturday in the
Metropolitan Swimming Con-
ference relay carnival at the

Academy. Results were unavail-

Freshman phenom Kinara
Predmore assisted Karen Oitz-
inger, Jackie O'Brien and
Jeanne Cleary with a new
school record of 4:27 .28 in the
400-yard medley relay and
jumped back in the drink
minµtes later to establish a new
school record at
500
yards.
Backlund expected a 500-yaid
record
from
Predmore.
However, Predmore surprised
Backlund by shattering the
500-yard record during her vic-
torious 1,000-yard race.
"She basically
jumped
out of
the water after the relay and
then jumped back in -for the
1,000 without any recovery,"
said Backlund.
However, Predmore wasn't
satisfied,
according
to
Backlund.
"She came back later in the
meet and set a new record of
2:19 for the 200-yard fly,'' said
Backlund.
Cleary, a freshman, also
established herself as one of the
Marist elite with a new school
record of 58.08 for the 100-yard
freestyle.
Marist's individual 200-yard
individual medley, paced by
Karen Schreck of Rhinebeck,
N.Y., set a new school record
with its 2:24.~8 clocking.
"Everybody swam well,"
said Backlund. "Chris Thum
also beat the old 1,000 record
and everybody else -
Sara
Perkins, Julianne Magazeno -
beat some of their personal
records."
Where will Backlund take his
squad from this explosive start?

Skaters skid on the road·,
record drops to 1-2
by Ken Foye
After finishing with a 3-17-1
record a year ago, the Marist Col-
lege ice hockey
team
saw smooth
ice
ahead -after a season-opening
win over Seton Hall last Sunday.
Last
weekend, the ice melted.
The icemen came into this week
with a 1~2 overall record after a
12-5 beating at the hands of the
University of Scranton and a
6-4
loss to New York University Sun-
day. The Red Foxes are
1-1
in
Metropolitan Conference play.
Marist will travel to Long Island
for a conference· game against
Hofstra University tomorrow.
Ken Marasco starred for the Red
Foxes Saturday with two goals,
with Brian Young adding another
score.· Steve Waryas and Charlie
Broe scored their first goals as
Marist players.
Playing against an NCAA Divi-
sion Three team in front of a large
pro-Scranton crowd alone may
have decided the game. "Hockey's
the only sport Scranton has," said
senior defenseman Rick Race. The
Red Foxes are a club team.
With the
long
bus ride to Scran-
ton on Saturday followed by
another trek on Sunday, Race said
the Foxes were bus-lagged prior to
the
NYU
game; "We were just on
the bus too long," said Race, who
scored two goals Sunday. "We
weren't ready for them."
"We skated two speeds below
them," said Marasco, who capped
a strong weekend for himself with
his third goal in the two games.
"We -should have skated two
speeds above them."
Freshman John Sollecito scored
his first collegiate goal Sunday.
Broe and goaltender Chris Daly
join veterans Steve Meli and Jon
Blake on the Foxes• inactive list.
Broe sustained an injury against
NYU, while Daly contracted
mononucleosis.
