Marist slapped with probation, penalties
-----------
by Annie Breslin
and Mike Grayeb
Marist Qfficials have one week to
appeal an NCAA decision handed
down last week -
a decision that
severely penalized the college for
violations dating back to 1984.
Following extensive investiga-
tions by the
NCAA
and Marist of-
ficials, the NCAA Committee on
Infractions' ruling prohibits Marist
from participating in postseason
competition and bans Assistant
Coach Bogdan Jovicic from off-
campus recruiting for two years.
According to
N(;AA
regula-
tions, if Marist chooses to appeal
the decision, it must present
reasons for an appeal to the NCAA
within 15 days after receiving the
penalties. Although the NCAA
decision was handed down last
Thursday, Marist had not an-
nounced plans for an appeal as of
.. press time yesterday.

The list of -violations was six
pages long. Among those listed
were:
- the purchase of approximate-

student athletes by Jovicic.
-
various purchases of meals
and automobile transportation to
New York City for two players'
participation in summer league
games.
-

athletic department telephones for
long-distance calls.
-
the organization and observa-

by coaches before the permissible

Also included in the list of in-
fractions was the organization and
observation of football team prac-
tice activities by an assistant foot-
ball coach last spring (during the
off season).
In. addition, the NCAA report
implicated Jovicic for giving false

.Friends and colleagues last week
remembered the work and dedica-
tion of Evelyn Rimai Fisher, design
consultant and art professor at
Marist, who died last May at the
age of 75.
"For most of her students she
was a mentor and a friend who
could turn people around because
she was willing to believe in them,"
said Anthony Campilii, chief finan-
cial officer at Marist.
Aside from fulfilling her official
job titles at Marist, Mrs. Fisher was
known for her involvement in
many areas of campus life -
in-
cluding the lives of her students.
"She was totally dedicated to the
students," said Richard Lewis, a
professor of art.
"She
never cared
about prestige or her reputation."
Her role was more often as a
counselor and many students v.:ent
to her for personal advice, said
Lewis.
"She was an extraordinary
teacher and had the ·unique ability
of developing hidden talent," said
Brother Joseph Belanger, professor
.,.of French.
She also displayed rare insight
into people, BeJanger said.
Belanger remembered a student
who returned from Madrid the day
after he began to study ~broad.
Upon looking through his files to
discover where the screening pro-
cess had gone wrong, Belanger
found a non-recommendation
from Fisher. In it, she said the stu-
dent was unable to take a risk and
predicted he would not benefit
from the abroad experience.
"She analyzed people to a
T,"
Belanger said.
Fisher had a true spirit and love
forMarist, according to Campilii,
a close friend and colleague of
Fisher.
"She was always trying to make
Marist a better place," said Cam-
pilii.
"Marist would have to go
some to find a ·person with her
stamina and dedication."
Fisher worked on many art
shows, spending nights and
weekends planning details and
making sure that everything
was
in
perfect order, according to
Campilii.
Fisher spent · an entire summer

Lowell Thomas· center floods.;
basement repair work planned
by
Michael Kinane
Repair procedures are underway
to correct the flooding problem in
the basement of the Lowell
Thomas Communications Center,
and the basement space should be
usable within a number of weeks,
according to Louis Greenspan,
Marist construction consultant.
"Exterior foundation drains are
not working right and the flood
basins we've installed are not big
enough to accommodated a large
downpour," said
Louis
Greenspan,
a construction consultant to
Marist. "The elevation of these
drains is very low. When water
comes in, they fill up and the drain
becomes blocked."
Greenspan also noted that the
water table; which changes at cer-
tain times of the year, was also a
contributing factor to the problem.
Sump pumps have been install-
ed and plans to divert some of the
drainage to a flood basin in the
Benoit parking lot have begun.
Once the engineering of these plans
is completed, the problem should
be solved in a few days, according

Marist sets
enrollment
record again
by
Michele Miller
The largest freshman class in
Marist's history entered the college
last week, and overall enrollment
increased by-an equivalent of
141
full-time students, according to
Marist officials.
The size of ..the freshman class
has increased nearly
10
percent
since last fall. This fall, 809
freshmen enrolled, exceeding last
year's record total of 755.
According to Registrar Judith
Ivankovic, the number of full-time
equivalent students as of Sept. 10
was 3,042, exceeding last year's
total of 2,901. In calculating the
full-time equivalent number, the
college includes both full and part-
time students.
Two years ago, the freshman
class
.
numbered 752, and the fall
full-time equivalent count was
2,802.
Harry Wood, vice president for
admissions and enrollment plann-
ing, said the size of the freshman
class was increased to make up for
an expected decline in the number
of returning students.
Wood said the college predicts
the annual rate of returning
s~udents to be 65 percent. But
figures based on last spring's fall
registration and room deposits
showed that only 62 percent would
be returning. The 3 percent dif-
ference was made up by enlarging
the freshman class, according to
Wood.
Wood said this isn't a trend of
growth for the college. "Once a
budget has been established and
.
you end up with less students
you've got to make up for it," he
said. "You can't afford not to
.
have
those
·
numbers."
-
.
According to Wood, .this figure
.
is in accordance
.
with the college's
five-year projected enrollment
plan, which runs from the 1985-86
academic year through 1990-91 and
calls for a target enrollment of
.
2,900 students.

Raphael memorialized
.
with scholarship
by Rick Hankey
Friends of Raphael Mark, the
late Marist broadcasting instructor
and local radio personality, will be
honoring his memory with a
scholarship, to be funded by a
benefit concert next month.
The concert, which will be held
at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center on
Oct. 7, will feature singers Pete
Seger, Robby Dupre and Nick
Seger.
The scholarship will be offered
to high-school seniors interested in
studying broadcast journalism.
Mark, best known for his talk
show, "Talk Back," on WEOK
·
radio in Poughkeepsie, died in Ju-
ly 1986 after suffering a heart at-
tack at his home in Staatsburg,
N.Y.
John Steffanci, the new host of
"Talk Back" and chairperson of
the scholarship fund, praised Mark
for his dedication to the field of
broadcast journalism and youth
programs.
He referred specifically to
Mark's work in the development of
a drug awareness program later
adopted
by
Congressman
Hamilton Fish of Millbrook, as
well as his position on the advisory
board for the State Education
Commissioner.
"Raph got
involved
in
everything and anything that could
help out the kids," Steffanci said.
It
is because of this dedication,
according to Steffanci, that he and
WEOK began organizing
-the
scholarship.
"After Raph's death," Steffan-
ci said, "people would call the
radio station every day asking us
what they could do. They wanted
to memorialize him somehow."
Ken Gonyea, a close friend of
Mark's
and former colleague, feels
the scholarship is a fitting tribute
to what Raphael stood for.
.C'Raph
believed that broadcast
journalism should be used in such
a way that it could improve the
lives of the youth and the needy.
Maybe Raph is gone now and can't
help them the way he used to but
this scholarship
.
wouldn't exist
without his inspiration." said
.
Gonyea.
Tickets for the concert are
available through Ticketron or can
be charged by calling 454-5865.

ake statement with fashion
by
Mike O'Keeffe
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS)
Campus fashions are changing
radically this fall, but no one is sure
if it means students are becoming
as radical as their clothes.
"I don't know if it's
a
political
.
.
statement," said Valeri~ Cartier of
Minneapolis' Haute Stuff bouti-
que, a shop popular among Univer-
sity of Minnesota students. "But it
is a- statement."
"It's the return of the
'60s,"
asserted Larry Schatzman of the
Unique Clothing Warehouse, a
Greenwich Village store frequented
by New York University students.
Whatever it is, America's college
students are mellowing out their
wardrobes this fall: tie-dyes, jeans
and mini skirts are in, and
'
the
pressed, preppy look is out, various
fashion observers agree.
"Even sorority girls aren't wear-
ing very preppy clothes this fall,"
·
Cartier reported.
"Students are dressing the way
they're living," Cartier said.
"They're not sitting at home·and
planning their outfits for an hour."
"When I was a freshman I real-
ly didn't fit in," recalled
Tun
Lum,
a Boston College senior. "The
campus was really into the preppy
stuff, and I really felt out of place.
.
I feel a lot more comfortable now.
I could never wear those preppy
things."
At NYU, students are "going
crazy over acid-washed jeans. And

way. Leather jackets and pants are

also popular, especially if they have
a distressed look."
Another old style is returning.
"Mini skirts are very big right .
now," explained Nancy C_ooley of
the Ritz, just off the University of
Colorado campus. "Short skirts
are hot."
Also big among college students
are silk skirts and shirts, '40s
pleated pants and slinky dresses.
"Women," Cartier added, "are
wearing big hoop earrings, thick
belts and chunky jewelry. Anyone
\Vho
hung onto that stuff now has
a real treasure."
Owners of stores on or near cam-
puses say things like Army surplus
pants, Guatemalan wrist bands,
oversized sweaters and jackets are
selling quickly, while rich, tradi-
tional colors like plum and forest
green are in. Considered "out" are
torn-neck T-shirts, turquoise and
silver jewelry, stirrup pants,
designer jeans, polyesters and big
tune boxes
.
The mentality also apparently in-
cludes an eye for a bargain, or, as
University of Colorado student
government leader Perry Dino calls
it, "value shoppin '."
Dino foresakes trendy "vintage
clothing" shops for Salvation
Army outlets, Goodwill stores and
Disabled American Veterans shops.
"If
you buy a Polo shirt for $30,
that's huge coin spent on sym-
bolism. Now, if you spend that
much, you better have five or six
items to show for it."

Getting priorities
straight
A bevy of bewildered freshman followed the throngs of upperclassmen
past the Lowell Thomas Communications Center and across Route
9
last
week in search of a classroom building some of them had never heard
of: Marist East.
Meanwhile, a shuttle van loaded with upperclassmen arrived on cam-
pus after a IS-minute race across town from the Canterbury Gardens
apartment complex.
In Donnelly Hall, hundreds waited on add/drop lines in search of
courses to replace the ones they had been shut out of by over-crowding.
Many were signing up for low-enrollment classes with "TBA" listed as
the instructor.
·
And in some of the freshman dorms, members of the class of
1991
were recovering from their first night of "buildup," and trying to figure
out why a room built for two people
is
housing three.
It's fall again at the school that likes to think of itself as the "fastest
growing college
in the northeast," and, as has happened every fall in
recent memory, Marist is starting the academic year with its priorities
confused.
In many respects, Marist has grown and improved dramatically over
the last few years. Each year the statistics on the freshman class seem
to improve; today's freshman have better SAT scores and come from
more diverse backgrounds than any class before them. Academic facilities
are improving too, with the communications center and a growing number
of computers on campus.
But with every surface improvement, the basic shortcomings of the
college become more intolerable.
Marist has a multi-million dollar communications center, but a ma-
jority of classes are still held in rented warehouse space in Marist East.
Marist has a large amount of land available for developinent of hous-
ing, but the administration is contemplating building a campus shopp-
ing center on it while 200 upper classmen live in Canterbury Gardens.
Marist offers some excellent courses, but students are forced to register
for classes they don't want because there isn't enough room in these
classes.
And while enrollment continues to creep upward, with applications
to the college taking a dramatic increase in the past few years, freshmen
are forced to make the adjustment to college life in over-crowded dorm
rooms.
It appears that Marist has placed a priority on looking good and has
let some serious shortcomings slip by uncorrected. The quality of the
individual student's education has taken a back seat to accommodate
the continued growth of the "fastest growing college in the northeast."
It's time Marist took a break-from growing.and did a
-
little maturing.

Academics
To the Editor:
After being elected as president
of the Student Academic Commit-
tee,
I found that few students ac-
tually knew what the purpose was
of this group.
SAC is a student organization
that provides student input in
faculty decisions.
Members act
as
representatives
to the different academic divisions,
the
·
Core Committee and the
Academic Affairs Committee.
Socials are also provided by the
SAC to help bring together the
students with the faculty.

;
All
residents who drink should
·
ask themselves the
-
following ques~
tion: ..... how
can
we
drink
with the
least
injury to ourselves?"
I
believe
that it is th
·
e responsibility of every
individual who enters this com-
munity to consider his/her
neighbor's right to a peaceful
environment.
·
Although the drinking age was
raised to
21
in December of
1985,
- 85 percent to 92 percent of those
affected by the law continue to
drink. Apparently; the higher
drinking age is not a sufficient for
the
18
to 20-year-old crowd.
This information may suggest
that an alternate method of deal-
ing with the drinking problem be
devised. qearly, the law was
established to "save lives."
However, equally
as important, the
law was also established to pacify
the teenage crowd that drinks
without moderation.
Teenage drinking is inevitably
associated with other problems on
college campuses.
According to the student hand-
book, Marist College is committed
to assist in the successful adjust-
ment and development of the
.
Freshman members of the College
community. To.promote a positive
·
academic atmosphere; Marist Col-
lege has stated that any possession
or use of alcohol
will
result in a
disciplinary action.
Clearly, the student handbook is
not priority reading for most
students. Hen:ce, the responsibili-
ty to maintain law and order has
been delegated to Resident
Assistants and Unit Coordinators.
The task of the RA/UC is a dual
proposition. These full time
students and para-professionals
often find it difficult to balance
their position of authority and their
role as a student.
The main problem seems to
.
be
that weekends begin a week too
early. Some Thursday nights I find
it difficult to concentrate on the
simplest text because of the gaiety
that persist through the entire
night. This problem could be solv-
ed by the administration insisting
that all students take Friday cl~.
However, some may be angered by
that notion. Those of you who feel
you should not have to suffer for
your peer's indiscretion,
I suggest
that you speak out. Tell those
"party animals" to stop
that noise.
Letter

I
am
sure that;• given some en-

could find

a more constructive way
to release their energies.
You
should
·
not be afraid to
stand up for yourself. Your friends
·
will respect you for your being up
front. Do not complain behind
their back to the Resident Assistant
or Unit Coordinator.
Speak
with
·
them first,
try
and come to some
equitable solution.
I
often get an-
noyed
because
those of you who do
not speak out are always complain-
ing.
If
you wish that your peers
were more respectful, then tell
them.
Who is accountable·for the thin-
ning academic atmosphere in the
residence area? Atmosphere is
.
created by those who set the stan-
dards. Hence, if rules are placed in
writing and never
.
enforced con-
sistently, then those rules will not
be respected.
Obviously, we cannot place all
the burden on the administration.
As
students, we must live wi_tli the
community in mind. Do not get so
caught up in self importance so as
to forget the rights of others. We
ought to

Guys crave Wendy because she
has tons of hair -
more than she
could possibly wash during one
shower.
Though Wendy is not
wildly attractive, guys crave her
because she thinks she's wildly at-
tractive. Wendy laughs at all the
stupid jokes guys like Phil make.
Wendy and Phil are crave
diggers.
"Chicks dig me," says Phil.
"Guys crave me," says Wendy.
Through an almost mystical
twist of fate, crave diggers almost
always find each other at a poorly
lit bar.
While Wendy and Phil admire
themselves and each other the rest
of Marist's men and women meet
in more novel ways. It's a new

Marist singers take
music 'down· under'
by Rich Donnelly
For the 16 members of the
Marist College singers who travel-
ed to Australia and New Zealand
this past spring, the cultural ex-
perience of visiting "down under"
was just as rewarding as their con-
cert performances.
The representatives of the ex-
tracurricular choral group -
12
students, three professors, and one
staff member - sang in four cities
and each had the opportunity to
stay with four different families
during the trip, held May 25
through June 16.
"Most special was staying with
the families (and) getting to know
the inside of different cultures,"
said Peter Conklin, a 24-year-old
senior from Hyde Park.
"It
was in-
teresting to find out what they
know about us and what we don't
know about them."
The trip began with a 32-hour
airline flight from Newark to
Sydney, Australia, with stops in
Chicago, Los Angeles, Honolulu
and New Zealand.
Conklin said the group perform-
ed two concerts in Sydney -
one
of the more memorable taking
place at Martin Plaza which is
Australia's answer to Manhattan's
Rockefeller Center.
From Sydney, the group travel-
ed to Canberra for another concert
before moving on
to
Melbourne
and three more performances.
The next stop on the tour was the
city of Christ Church, New
Zealand. The chorus performed
three times, with the highlight be-
ing a concert of varied repertoire
.in a cathedral.
According to Dr. Richard
LaPietra, professor of chemistry,
another concert came about by
chance when a tour guide brought
the group through what is known
as the deep Silent Caves Aukland,
New Zealand.
LaPietra said one of the largest
rooms in the caves had a ceiling
about four stories in hieght - just
right for good acoustics. The
chorus couldn't pass up this oppor-
tunity, singing in the underground
down under.
The caves, completely dark in
man spots, were lit by Waitomo
glowworms.
"Up there in the darkness, was
the glow of millions of pinpoints of
light," said LaPietra.
"It
looked
like tiny white Christmas lights,
dots of light in the sky turning off
and on.
"The singing during the trip was
great in a number of respects," he
said. "One being the variety of dif-
ferent settings."
The Marist College Singers are
no strangers to taking their show
on the road.

The group traveled to Egypt and
Israel for a concert si;ries in
December of 1984, and gave per-
formances in the spring of 1986 in
Washington, D.C.
"This trip proved once again
that whenever travelers go
to a
1
foreign country, and even though
you don't know the people, if you
share your music with them -
doors and hearts will open up,"
said Dorothyann Davis, assistant
professor of music at Marist.
"The people of Australia and
New Zealand were just fantastic,''
she said. "They put out the red
carpet for us."

College awaits results
of dumping investigation
by
Tim Besser
The State Department of En-
vironmental Conservation is ex-
pected to release results this week
of its an investigation into two in-
stances of chemical dumping on the
Marist campus.
The two dumpings allegedly oc-
curred during the first week of
August and on Sept.
3,
according
to David Slingerland, a technician
speci~lizing in oil spills for DEC.
In both cases, the substance -
a black, tar-like liquid - appeared
in the pond and stream located
south of the Gartland Commons
Apartments. Slingerland declined
to release the exact composition of
. the substance because the results of
the investigation . are not yet
complete.
The DEC is satisfied that the
spill was not due to any inap-
propriate action on the part of
Marist, said Slingerland.
Galleria:
To spend
or to earn
by Maureen McGuinness
The Poughkeepsie Galleria open-
ed on Aug.
4, giving students
a
new
place to spend -
and earn -
money.
"The plan was to bring new.
stores here to Dutchess County for
people to shop," said Kathy Ustas,
marketing director for the mall. ·
"They had been going to New
York City and other places. Now
they can stay h.ome."
Eighty percent of the stores -
125
out of ·a possible
160 -
are
open now, and officials expected
the rest to be leased by spring.
Many need holiday help now, store
officials said'.
The mall caters'to a wide range
of tastes, with stores selling pro-
ducts including jewelry, clothes,
books, records and tapes, elec-
tronic equipment and shoes.
An
8-screen movie house, banks and a
food court are also included. There
are also be three major department
stores - Lechmere, Jordan Marsh
and J.C. Penney .,;._ that will be
joined in November by Filenes.
Fran Farnorotto, personnel
director at J.C. Penney, still has
night and weekend sales positions
open.
"We're looking for people who
are reliable and willing to work,"
Farnorotto said. "We have a com-
mission plan, so a person should
come in, and then we could discuss
·pay."
Although available jobs change
from day to day, most stores are
preparing for the holidays, said
Greg Decenzo of Jordan Marsh.
'. "In the end of October we start
building for Christmas and right
after that comes inventory in
January," Decenzo said;
Decenzo added that a part-time
job can be good for a college stu-
dent's resume.
"It gives a person a good
background to go into retail," he
said.
Jordan Marsh is looking for
employees with "people skills,"
said Decenzo.
· "I'm looking for people who are
able to communicate with me in an
interview and then on the sales
floor," Decenzo said.
He said Jordan Marsh
will pay
five dollars an hour.
The mall had a two-week grand
opening period that included
Disney characters, fashion shows,
bands, soap opera celebrities and
a philharmonic orchestra.
There was also a grand opening
party
for
10,000
the night before
, .tlle official opening ....
"It is nothing we have done; the
DEC
is convinced of that," said
Waters. "There was some conjec-
ture (as to the origin of the waste)
but nothing definite."
The substance entered through a
drain in the parking lot
east
of the
pond, according to Edward
Waters, vice president for ad-
ministration at Marist. The drain
connects to a pipe that runs
underground from Route
9
to the
pond, he said.
Some of the waste material
reached the· Hudson River via a
stream that goes from the pond to
the river, according to Slingerland.
River waste has been contained, he
. said.
A company specializing in the
cleanup of chemical spills was call-
ed in and, as of last Friday, had
cleaned half of the stream, accor-
ding to Slirigerland. The remaining
waste is to be completely removed
this week, he said.
If
the persons responsible for the
spill are found, they wiJJ have to
pay the cost of cleaning the stream
and pond, said S~ngerland.
According to Slingerland, the
substance is not toxic and poses no
danger to anyone.
The water in the pond is for
watering t~e athletic fields behind
the apartments, said Waters. The
pump system for watering the fields
was recently installed and had not
been used as of last Thursday, he
said.
These were the only known in-
cidents of chemical dumping on the
campus, he said. He said the DEC
was called in as soon as the spills
were discovered.
To dispose of the waste, cloths
are placed on the water that allow
the water to filter through but catch
the waste material. They are chang-
ed periodically until clean-up is
complete.

reprise
by
Derek Simon
I've never particularly cared for
music critics. I've always con-
sidered them opinionated and
somewhat obnoxious. And I've
seldom agreed with anything any of
them ever had to say. But besides
these minor flaws, they're a fairly
respectable lot.
When presented with an oppor-
tunity to vent my jaded ramblings
about music to
a
remotely captive
audience, however, my perspective
on music journalists, shall we say,
underwent a subtle adjustment
.
The summer of
1987
will never
be remembered as a stellar one in
rock 'n' roll history. I sleep soundly
in the knowledge that in ten years,
the Beastie Boys will be nothing
more than the answer to a trivia
question - sort of like the Starland
Vocal Band
.
My better judgment leads me to
believe that Richard Marx hasn't
forever changed the face of rock
music
as we know it. There were,
however, several occurrences wor-
thy of a raised eyebrow or polite
snicker, if not your undivided
musical attention.
Leading off the polite snicker
category, David Bowie's "Glass
Spider Tour" travesty first offend-
ed at Giants Stadium for two even-
ings in early August and then
returned for two equally offensive
shows two w~ks ago at Madison
Square Garden.

transcended its previous
acceptance without any significant

Any doubts of this band's
popularity can be erased by the
gold status
(500,900

their latest album, "Kiss Me, Kiss
Me, Kiss Me," and sold-out per-

Garden and Nassau Coliseum.
Folk artist Suzanne Vega
,
who
just
two
years ago was playing New
York City dives like Folk City, has
also attained her first gold record
with her second release, Solitude

It seemed at one point that
Vega's meek yet delightful voice
and often puzzling lyricism would
forever doom her to a life on the
folk circuit, but her willingness to
commercialize her sound while still
maintaining
her artistic
integrity
on
this latest album has paid off.
Cheers, Suzanne. You're no longer

the release of "Hysteria." Crowd-
ed House made rock 'n' roll fun

And we may sadly have seen

Dorm triples
a
'nuisance'
to students
by Ken Foye
The room appears to be just like
any other dormitory room on the
Marist College campus. There are
two closets, two desks and two
bulletin boards.
But this year, room 318 in Leo
Hall is different from most other
dormitory rooms. It has three
occupants.
In an effort to house the large
number of freshman on campus
this year, many students are being
placed in triples.
For freshmen
Mike
Larkin,
Mike Longo and Patrick Coyne,
lhing in a room intended to house
two students hasn't been a major
problem, but it has been a
nuisance.
"I thought the room would be
bigger," said Larkin, a business
major from West Hanford, Conn.
"We had to di,ide the closets and
the desks into thirds instead of in
half."
To
help make more space on the
two desks, Larkin keeps his books
on the floor under his bed. A
refrigerator, a footlocker, a stereo
and the dressers take up most of
the floor space, leaving room only
for
a
small rug in the middle of the
room.
Finding space · for everything
hasn't been as much of a problem .
as finding quiet time in the room.
With three people living in the
room, chances are good that one of
the three will have company at any
given time, according to Coyne.
"We can't do homework in here
-
no way in hell," said Coyne.
"There are too many people com-
ing in and out."
"(The room) is jus.t a place to
. sleep," said Larkin. "Very rarely
? , .
will'a\l three of us; be in,th1, t;oom .
. at
once.''. .
. ' .
Coyne said there were other
triples on his floor, and this made
it difficult to do homework in the
room because of added noise on
the floor.
· ·
"I'm hardly ever (in my room),"
said Coyne, who does his
homework in Leo's lounge. "I just
come back to get money and then
leave.•.•
According to these roommates,
they have managed because they
get along and realize the need to
tolerate each other.
"I can deal with being in a tri-
ple," said Coyne, •~and we've been
lucky because we get along."
Along with having the ability to
divide closet space efficiently, these
three have the same tastes in music,
and share a common interest in
eating pizza.
"It's kind of hectic," said
Larkin, "but.it'll be okay.''
Each of the three has his opinion
on the housing situation at Marist.
Larkin suggested putting more
residents in Marian Hall rather
than in Leo.
"They have more room in
Marian," said Larkin.
"We need another closet,
another fridge, and another desk,"
said Coyne. "We wish we had
room for one more desk, because
Mike's stuff has been on the
floor."

Schatteman ,s recovery reflects character
by
Annie Breslin
When
Mark
Schatteman
destroyed his right knee in an early-
, season· bout with St. John's
University last year, it was the best
thing that could have happened to
Marist football.
As Schatteman jumped to block
a field goal attempt late in the
fourth period a St. John's shoulder
pad met
him
halfway- taking part
of his knee with it.
"We can rebuild him •.•• we have
the technology to make him better,
· stronger, faster."
Those words were surely uttered
by somejoker in the stands.
, The joker wasn't too far off.
After detailed reconstructive
surgery, countless casts, staples;.

of physical therapy, Schatteman

back to the extent that he did - to
be better than ever -
that's a
reflection of his character."
Schatteman said his injury took
its toll on him at first.
"I changed," he said, "I was
totally depressed, there was no lif-
ting, no football, no basketball.
After I got off the crutches, I was
just happy to be walking.''

"If

have doubted it. But he's just not

Cross cou·ntry confusion goes 9n
. Men discouraged
by
Michael
J.
Nolan
Marist senior Don Reardon's
first place finish in a cross country
dual meet with Albany State was
bittersweet - Marist is running on
empty -
without a coach.
Former Head Coach Steve Lurie
failed to renew his contract as the
men's cross country coach after
Marist dropped the winter and
spring track programs.
As_ a result, the Red Foxes will
not be able to compete in the New
York State Scholastic Track and
Field As·sociation Cross Country
Championships held for non-
scholarship schools in New York
State. A college or university must
compete in at least two seasons a
year to be eligible.
"That's the big meet we train for
all year," said senior Steve Bren-
nan.
"It
tells you where you're at
in New York State.''
Over twenty-five players met
with Marist Director of Athletics
Brian Colleary last spring to discuss
their dissatisfaction with Coach
Lurie, but many have been
~disheartened to return
fo
a· season
without a coach and with no winter
or spring track in the future, said
senior• harrier Jeff Ni6osia~
Elsie Mula, assistant to the
athletic director, told the players
that there would be a new coach by
the start of the cross country
season, according to junior Bob
Sweeney.
To date, no men's coach has
been hired.
Mula said Brian Colleary's time
was occupied with the then impen-
ding NCAA basketball violations
and he was unable to meet with
Gerard Cox, vice president for stu-
dent affairs, to make a final
decision.
To add fuel to the fire, only
freshman runners were ·notified
that both winter and spring track
were dropped, according to Mula.
"We were paying for a program
in which noone was participating;''
said Mula. "We'd like to see the
cross country teams be built-up."
When questioned about a 5 per-
cent cut in the cross country
budget, Mula said, "It was not just
a cut in cross country, but rather
it was a cut across the board."
A vehement Nicosia said, "I
think it just shows what a low
priority the track and cross coun-
try teams are to Marist."
Bill McKenna, a senior, said the
season
will
be lost if Marist can't
run
in
the championships at the end'
of the year. "The whole season is
dual meets to prepare . us for the
championships at the end of the
cross country season," he said.
"Now the whole season becomes
bogus.''
Mula said the decision for a cross
country coach will be made in the
next day or two.
Pam White hired
The women's cross country team
has been assigned another coach -
the program's third in its three
year-history.
23-year-old Pam White, of
North Manchester, Indiana, is the
newly appointed assistant women's
basketball coach. White also
assumed command of the seven-
member cross country squad at the
season's onset.
White replaces temporary coach
Deborah Bell, assistant dean of stu-
dent affairs, who coached the Lady
Red Foxes to a second place finish
in the ECAC Metro Conference
Championships in 1986.
White is a 1986 graduate of the
University of Indianapolis with a
B.S. degree in physical education.
A four-sport athlete during her
undergraduate career, she par-
ticipated in basketball, cross coun-
try, tennis and track and field.
W~te earned her master of
arts
degree in coaching behavior· · at
Miami
University
in
Oxford, Ohio,
early in August of this year.
The women's cross country pro-
gram was established in 1985 under
then head cross country and track
coach Steve Lurie.

Spikers to face tough foes
by
Don Reardon
Marist Volleyball Coach Vic
VanCarpels is optimistic that his
team may lose several games this
year.
He's not worried because the
lady spikers have adopted a new
schedule including such nationally
ranked volleyball powers as
Syracuse, Bucknell, Northeastern,
Rutgers and Seton Hall.
"We're playing SO-plus matches
this year, not to mention we've
been added to the ECAC Metro
Conference," said four-year coach
VanCarpels.
The Red Foxes will have a dif-
ficult time improving their 31-17
record of last year (26-5 in con-
ference play), but VanCarpels is
confident the victories will come.
"Our main goal this year is to
win the Vassar Tournament and
possibly the ECAC Metro Tourna-
Marist defeated Vassar 15-12,
15-13 and then cut down Russell
Sage College 15-9, 15-10.
VanCarpels said both teams
played better than expected.
"Patty Billen served very well,
and I think her serve is going to be
a deadly weapon as the season goes
on," he said
VanCarpels also praised the
match-saving efforts of senior
Theresa Gannon, a native of
Brooklyn, N. Y.
With the abundance of returning
starters, VanCarpels doesn't ·see
any frosh slipping into the front
line up as yet.
VanCarpels said his powerful
front lineup will include seniors
Billen, Gannon, Mary Anne Casey
and Jean Pernice. Sophomore
phenom Allison Vallinino, Kim

During Marist soccer games last ·

disbelief and seemingly searching
for answers to a miserable 5-13
season. This season, heads are still
_shaking.
·
The Red Foxes' opponents
heads.
·
Marist opened its season, the
25th in both school history and
Goldman's Marist coaching tenure,
by winning its first three games,
two of those victories coming
against teams which defeated the
Red Foxes last year.
· Tuesday, Marist defeated Anny
2-0 on goals by Kevin Segrue and
scoring machine Mark Edwards.
Army beat Marist 2-0 in 1986. The
_ .Red Foxes nipped Monmouth 2-1
in overtime Saturday, avenging last
season's 3-0 defeat.
Marist opened its season with a
2-0 victory over Fairfield last
·
Thursday.
The Red Foxes will visit ECAC
Metro foe Robert Morris Saturday
and travel Wednesday to play St.
Francis,
N.Y., in another
ECACMetro matchup.
When Goldman scanned for
solutions last year, there were
none. However, this season he has
found panaceas in a player who
wasn't on last year's roster and
another whose ankle was operated
on in June. Not · a likely
combination.
Junior Mark Edwards, the Red
Foxes' second-leading scorer in
1985 with eight goals and four
assists, was
the
frosh phenom that
fall. However, while Edwards scor-
ched soccer nets, he simmered the
books and was ruled ineligible in
1986.
Last year, Edwards overcame his
academic difficulties. He has
returned in searing fashion in 1987,
scoring four of the Red Foxes' six
goals; including the game-winner
against Monmouth in overtime.
"(He's) a tremendous dif-
ference," said Goldman about Ed-
wards. "He can hold the ball while
others are making runs. He's in-
tense about winning and he makes
things happen."
Last June, it didn't look like
senior goalkeeper Joe "Lobster"
Madden would play often this fall.
Doctors removed bone chips from
his ankle in.June, and Goldman ad-
mitted he wasn't planning on Mad-
den's presence in Marist's net last
week.
·
However, · mitigating cir-
cumstances accelerated Madden's
return. John Semple, one.of four
goalies on the 1986 roster, suffered
a career-ending jaw injury and
· Mike Guarino, another backup,
was declared ineligible this season.
The fourth Marist goalie,
sophomore Vincent Aspromonti,
lacked experience, according to
Goldman.
· So, Madden returned to the nets
- in peak form. In the Red Foxes'
first three games, Madden relin-
quished just two goals and record-
ed a shutout against Fairfield.
"He (Madden) knew what he
had to do, and he's capable of it,"
said Goldman.
Goldman also cited the consis-
tent play of senior John Gilmartin,
freshmen Tim Finegan and Glenn
Mcsweeney, and junior Kudzai
Kambarami.
· Despite individual exploits,
Goldman noted one important
discrepancy between this season's
squad and the 1986 edition. "They
want to win," said Goldman.
"It
might sounds like a cliche, but
these guys have a clearer attitude
of what they want to accomplish."
Gridders' late rally not enough
by
Chris Barry
The Marist College football team
suffered a heart-breaking setback
Saturday, dropping the season
opener to Dickinson College 20-19
on rain-soaked Leonidoff Field.
The Red Foxes will travel to
Lyndhurst,
N.J.,
tomorrow for a
7:30 p.m. game against St. Peter's.
Last year, Marist trounced the
Peacocks 24-8.
·
. Last Saturday, after trailing 14-0
at halftime, Marist scored three
straight touchdowns to take the
lead entering the fourth quarter.
Following a fourth-quarter.
touchdown which gave the Red
Devils a 20-19 lead, Marist gained
good field position after Robert
Careaga's 37-yard kickoff return.
But on a fourth-and-five play at the
Dickinson 46-yard line, Red Foxes'
quarterback Jon Cannon was sack-
ed, and as he hit the ground, so did
Marist's comeback hopes.
Howevet:, Cannon had a strong
second half, throwing two
tou_chdown passes while guiding an
offense containing just four retur-
ning starters.
On the Red Foxes' first second-
half drive, Cannon hit wide
receiver Stephen LoCicero, who
was slanting over the middle, for
a 24-yard touchdown. The drive
was kept alive when halfback Paul
Rc,nga ran for 19 yards on a
second-and-thirteen play. The
point-after-attempt failed because
of a low snap.
A fumble on the ensuing kick-off
recovered by John Gahan gave
Marist the ball at the Red Devil
32-yardline. Ronga scored·from 8
yards out aft~r

taking a pitch from
Cannon ori an option play. Again
the Foxes were stopped on the ex-
tra point attempt, this time trying
to run.
Later in the third period, Can-
non again hit LoCicero for a
touchdown, this iime for 18 yards.
The key play of_ the drive was a
26-yard run by halfback Curtis
Bailey. Bill Rose added the extra
point and Marist led 19-14.
Dickinson was led by quarter-
back Sean Maloney, who threw for
221 yards and two touchdowns.

Head Coach
Mike Malet was en-
couraged by the second-half per-
formance of the team. "Ayear ago
in the third quarter we just packed
it up," he said. "But today we
come down and we score 19 points.
I'm very proud of this football
team," he· said. Last season Dickin-
son beat Marist 31-7.
However, Malet said the team
still needs improvement. "We can't
rest on this," Malet said. "We
can't say, 'well geez, we had a great
second half, that means we can
beat people'. But, I think we have
the capability of becoming a very,
very competitive football team."
Malet dubbed Howard Herodes
as the standout player of the game.
"Howie did a great job punting for
us," he said. Herodes averaged 34
yards per punt while enabling the
Red Foxes to down the ball inside
the Dickinson 20-yard line four
times.
Malet commended Cannon,
LoCicero and backs Bailey, Ronga
and Dan McElduff for their play.
The loss of key players Ed
Christensen, Mark Burlingame,
Jim Fedigan and Sean Duffy ,to
graduation was an area of concern
to the offense. Christensen alone
accounted for 1,296 of Marist's
1,992 rushing yards last season.
Citing defense as the team's
strength, Malet is optimistic the
team might match their 6-3 record
of 1985.

Hoop team adjusts without departed stars
by
Annie Breslin
With stars Miroslav Pecarski and
Peter Krasovec missing from
Marist'sl987-88 starting basketball
lineup, "the tallest team on earth"
has fallen on hard times. Head
Coach Dave Magarity now faces
Marist's toughest schedule ever
with a few tricks up his sleeve; but
l
certainly no hard feelings toward
the departed duo.
Pecarski, a 6-11 forward who led
the Red Foxes in rebounding last .
year with an average of 8.4 per
game, has remained in his native
Yugoslavia to prepare for the 1988
Summer_ Olympics. Krasovec -

year ago -
must fulfill his military
obligations at home in Hungary.
"I feel very badly for a number
of reasons," said Magarity. "They
both are very important parts of
our success -
both great athletes
and great people.•• ''But Miro has
to do what's best for himself and
family and Peter had no control."
Magarity said although Pecarski
was under no obligation to leave
Marist, he and
his
family have
been
under considerable pressure from
the Yugoslavian government.
"It came down to a patriotic
decision," said Magarity, citing
that it would be very difficult for
Pecarski to return after college to
live, work and be accepted in
Yugoslavia.
Currently, Pecarski is training
for the Olympic Trials.
If
he makes
the team - not an
easy
task - his
chances of returning to Marist are
slim. If not, he could be here as
soon as next summer. He would
return to the team as a junior, but
academically, he'll have some
remedial work.
Krasovec, however, has pro-
bably graced the McCann Center's
Tartan court for the last time.
"He'll probably . play .for the
Hungarian Anny team and he has
a very good chance of making the
Olympics,u said Magarity.
Though Magarity was aware of
Krasovec's situation and recruited
to adapt to his absence; he did not
anticipate the gap caused by Pecar-
ski's absence. He said he may then
look within the squad to the· rapidly
improving skills of junior center
Rudy Bourgaret
.
Bourgarel, who saw action in 26
of Marist's 30 games as a reserve
last
season, averaged 3.3 points and
2. 7 rebounds per game. He played
an average of 14 minutes per game
last
season, only having played nine
per game as a freshman.
"Rudy was corisistant during his
sophomore year, improving game
by game," Magarity said. "His
ability to contribute in a starting
role is very possible."
. Magarity can count on transfer
John Kijonek to replace Krasovec
as the Red Foxes' three-point
threat. A junior transfer from Iona
College, Kijonek
will
become eligi-
ble to play in Marist's fifth game
of the season Dec. 22 against Fair-
field
University.
Kijonek shot 46 percent from the
field and 77 percent from the free
throw line during his· final season
at Iona. Starting in 19 of Iona's 29
games that year, he averaged 5.2
points and two rebounds per game.
Joey O'Connor, a sophomore
guard who transferred from the
University of Nevada-Reno last
year, is likely to join senior Draf-
ton Davis in the backcourt when
the season begins. O'Connor's
presence should compensate for the
loss of graduated Ron Mccants,
the team's second- leading scorer in
1986.
While Marist has the starting
lineup settled, · it still has the
. weakest bench in recent memory as
most of the players lack substan-
tial previous playing time. It's a
lack of depth that could slow the
Red Foxes this year -
a depth
Magarity says was key in Marist's
1987_ ECAC Metro Conference
conquest.
"We had an edge,-we had the
ability to bring Rudy in and that
made all the difference " said
Magarity •. ''Our bench wih be in-
experienced and unproven " he
said.
