Thomas ce~ter reopens·, but repairs continue
by Mike Grayeb
Marist is working to correct
drainage problems around the·
Lowell Thomas Communications
Center after flooding in the base-
ment forced the building's evacua-
tion and emergency closing last
Friday.
The latest flooding problem in
the center's basement came as a
result of rainwater accumulating
around and flowing into an elec-
trical pipe outside the center.
The pipe is one of at least three
sources of basement flooding since
the building's opening last
January.
In addition, an underground
flow of water running from Fulton
Street (near Marist East) to the
·
Benoit parking lot is causing more
problems than was anticipated
when the building was constructed.
Anthony Tarantino, director of
physical plant, estimated the
cleanup charges of last week's
flood at
$1,000 -
including labor
and materials. The building was
reopened on Monday.
Currently, the Greenspan Con-
struction Company is digging
a
2-foot deep trench around the back
of the building, which is intended
to streani the rain water toward
sewers in the Benoit parking lot. In

"I was prepared for the O.R

and ready to be wheeled in when
I was approached by a recent
Marist graduate," Cox said. "It
was all very
_
vague to me at the

time, since drugs had taken effect
,
but I
can
remember him repeated-
ly asking me, 'Dean Cox, what are
you doing here?' "
Cox, who bad been hospitalized
for open heart surgery and on a
leave of absence from his post at
Marist from late March through
.
the middle of June, said the episode
typified
how Marist has become an
integral part of his life in the last
20 years.
.
"No matter where you go, the
college
is
with you." said Cox.
"It
was
a
very tense and intense
period
for me but
I never felt alone."
The operatio~ and time off have
proved beneficial, said Cox, who
said he now feels better than he has

Cox.

During his leave of absence,

Cox said that he is currently
keeping the same kind of schedule
that he kept prior to his
leave of

NCAA appeal
date extended
Marist officials have infor-
mally asked the NCAA Com-
mittee on Infractions to recon-
sider the penalties it imposed on
the college - thereby obtaining
an
extension of tomorrow's
deadline to officially appeal the
decision.
According to NCAA regula-
tions, Marist has
15
days after
receiving the decision, handed
down Sept. 10, to officially an-
nounce to the NCAA of plans
to appeal. However, the college
·
has telephoned the
.
Committee
on Infractions and asked for
reconsideration, which extends
the deadline, according to Brian
Colleary, athletic director
.
In terms of officially appeal-
ing the decision to the
NCAA,
Colleary said Marist is still
assessing the situation and
awaiting the outcome of the
committee's reconsideration.
If
the committee decides not to
change the penalties, the college
will have the option of appeal
-
ing to the NCAA -
above the
.. Committee on Infractions.

addition, the company is digging a
IS-foot deep
dry
well in the ground
between the building and
Route
9,
which
will
also help channel the
water toward the sewers, according
to Tarantino, who declined to
speculate on costs of the current
construction work.
Last Friday, Marist officials
evacuated and closed the center at
9
a.m. after security officials found
three inches of water on the base-
ment floor and a constant stream
of water flowing over the top of
an
electrical panel, according to the
·
report
filed
by security personnel:
By 8:45 a.m., Tarantino and
Vice President for Academic Af-
fairs Marc vanderHeyden arrived
at the scene and "decided to
evacuate due to the possibility of
explosion," the report read
.
Tarantin'o said workers from
Central Hudson Gas and Electric
Corp., the company that supplies
the electrical power to the building,
concurred that evacuating and clos-
ing the building would be wise.
Tarantino said the water entered
the basement through an electrical
pipe that runs from above the
ground outside the building down
to the basement. "The water built
up alongside the pipe~ got into the
pipe and followed the pipe down to
the disconnect switch in the base-
ment," he said.
Although the pipe through which
the
·
water entered was only a little
more than one inch above the
ground outside the building, Taren-
tino said the height was not
necessarily a construction error.
The pipe was installed according to
the architect's specifications, he
said.
·
Tarentino said he had the elec-
trical firm that originally wired the
building raise the pipe an addi-
~
tional eight inches to prevent a
similar occurence in the future
.

absence, according to Ainato, the
assistant dean of students.
"The whole department missed
him, but it's great to see
him
return
looking so terrific," said Amato.
"He looks healthy, is in great spirit
and isn't smoking anymore."
Cox shared this optimistic over-
view with Amato. and said that

"It all may end up in a play some

could be broadcasting "over the
air"
to the campus and the sur-
.·
rounding area within six to eight
weeks, according to Station
Manager Derek Simon.
The station, currently heard on-
ly through the campus cable
system,
will
begin
FM
broadcasting
as soon as
an
"exciter" -
a low-
watt transmitter -
arrives at the
college and
is
installed, said Simon.
The exciter, which is about
as
large
as
a stereo receiver,
will cost
.
nearly
$6,000
after it is attatched
to a new broadcast antenna which
will
be
placed on the roof of
Cham•
pagnat Hall, he said.
Funds to cover the costs of the
exciter have
been
obtained from the
1987
budgets of
WMCR
and the
Council of Student Leaders.
Simon placed the purchase order
for the exciter last Thursday, he
said. He expects the equipment
will
arrive within six weeks.
Once the exciter is installed,
WMCR
will
be
broadcasting at low
power -
below
10 watts -
to
avoid regulation by the Federal
Communications Commission, he
said.
.
Broadcasting above
10 watts
without
an
FCC license is illegal.
And obtaining an FCC license
could take years and cost tens of
thousands of dollars, according to
Paul Delcolle, one of the station's
two faculty advisors
.
WMCR,
also known as "New
Rock
92," will continue to broad-
cast from
7
:
30 a.m. to 2 a.m. on
weekdays, and from
11
a.m. to
2
a.m. on weekends, said Simon.
"Few cc,llege radio stations
broadcast
24
hours a day. Besides,
we need those off hours to main-
tain the equipment," he said.

As he told his side of the Iran-
contra story to Congress this sum-
mer, Oliver North was hailed as a
hero by many people across the
nation.
But members of the Marist com-
munity interviewed last week saw
the key figure in the Iran-contra
case unfavorably.
Lt. Col. North, a former Na-
tional Security Council aide, receiv-
ed national attention in July when
he testified before the Congres-
sional committee handling the Iran-
contra case.
North oversaw an operation
begun in 1984 involving the trading
of arms to Iran for money and
hostages being held in the Middle
East. The money from the arms
deal was to be used to aid anti-
government forces in Nicaragua.
Juniors Alice Chahbazian of
Oyster Bay, N. Y., and Mercinth
Brown of Queens, N.Y., agreed
that the media influenced the
public's opinion of North. ·
"It's easy to fool the American ·
people," said Brown, ·a political·
§cience major. "I gjqn!t,apereciale. _
him (North). I woulaii't'want him·
to be a role model for my
children.''
"It's kind of ridiculous that peo-.
pie think he's a hero," said
Chahbazian.
North has admitted to shredding
documents concerning the Iran-
contra case and to misleading Con-
gress when he was questioned
about the case last year.
Others interviewed felt that
North was not a hero, but was on-
ly following the orders of his
superiors.
Vernon Vavrina, professor of
political science, said that there
must be a distinction between

maintenance-
workers,
two
mechanics, a plumber and an elec-
trician worked for approximately
eight hours to clean up the flood.
In addition, Tarantino said he
had maintenance personnel pump-
ing out the 20-foot deep manhole
in the Benoit parking lot on Friday
in an effort to clean out the water
and
dirt that had gathered in it.
"That's why you saw a lot of
water in the Benoit parking lot,"
he said. "We had to get (the water)
out of that manhole faster than it
was going in."
Water levels in the parking lot
rose as high as three feet by Friday
night, as residents attempted to
push their flooded cars out of the
area.
Initially, the land surrounding
the building
was
sloping toward the
center, causing water to collect and
enter at the foundation. The pro-
blem was corrected by adding ad-
ditional soil and regrading the area
so the soil to higher levels, Taran-
tino said.
"Now we are finding the volume
of water is greater than we an-
ticipated and we have to find ad-
ditional sources to dispose of it,

"A lot of people that support
him are no friends of communism,

Nicaragua)," said Vavrina.
But Vavrina added that North's
methods in trying to aid the con-
tras were wrong, and that-North
should not have acted without
Congress' approval.

Governor takes time out.
_to address local issues
by
Maureen McGuinness
Governor Mario Cuomo last
week extended his planned two-
hour visit to Poughkeepsie to four
hours after he found himself in-
volved in an impromteu question-
and-answer period with local
residents.
Cuomo, who came to help
celebrate the 200th anniversary of
the U.S. Constitution, which was
ratified by New York in
Poughkeepsie, addressed the con-
cerns of some of the more than
200
peopl~ who gathered outside the
YMCA
building.
A neatly dressed Poughkeepsie
woman caught Cuomo's eye by
holding up a piece of loose-leaf
paper - that read "Help the
Homeless."
When Cuomo saw the sign, he
asked the woman to show it to the
crowd, and then he listened as she
told her story.
The woman, Sharon Paganelli,
said she is unable to enroll her
daughter in school
because
they are
living in Gannett .House, a tem-
porary shelter for the homeless in
Poughkeepsie.
"My daughter is 9 years old and
can't go to school because I don't
have a home," Paganelli said.
"School authorities told me Gan-
nett House isn't a permanent
residence, so she can't go to
school."
Cuomo took her name and said
he would look into the matter.
Even before Paganelli approach-
ed the microphone, Cuomo spoke
about the plight of the homeless in
his opening remarks at the open
forum he called "Vox Populi," or
"Voice of the People."
"People who have no place to
sleep -
they're not all addicts.
Some of them are mothers with
children," he said.
Throughout his visit, Cuomo
took names of people who express-
ed concern over particular issues.
Some of the topics Cuomo ad-
dressed were: water conservation,
preservation of the Hudson River
and valley, bridge and highway
maintenance, hospital reimburse-
ment, child abuse and garbage
recycling.
When asked if he had any plans
to control New York City's use of
the Hudson River as a water supp-
ly, Cuomo said he would like to
have water meters installed to
measure consumption, but he faces
opposition because people don't
want to be charged for water.
"This is not a resource you can
produce," Cuomo said. "You put
a meter on water and see how peo-
ple conserve!"
··
Cuomo addressed child day-care
problems after a Highland woman
asked about the possibility of tax
credits for businesses and non-
profit organizations that run day-
care centers.
• 'The argument if this is good for
the child is over," Cuomo said.
"We don't know, that is not the
issue."
Cuomo was given several T-
shirts, baseballs, baseball caps, a
copy of the Constitution and a
Hudson Valley apple.
Denying continued speculation
about his White House ambitions,
Cuomo said he would not run for
president.
"When you find a place like
New York state, why would you
leave for a place like Washington?
I like it here, I'm not going
anywhere," Cuomo said.
Sophomore seeks unity as new CSL leader
by Joseph O'Brien
While many Marist students
spent the summer at the beach, in-
terning, or at home working, one
student remained at school to
prepare for his new position.
Jeff Ferony, a sophomore from
Marlborough, Conn., spent his
summer at Marist working in the
College Activities Office to prepare
for the office of president of the
-student body.
"I stayed up here this summer
because I needed the experience to
learn about student government
and how it's coordinated with the
· administration," he said.
Ferony was elected to the office
last spring in an unopposed
election.
Traditionally the office of stu-
dent body president has gone to a
junior. But Ferony said the sum-
mer helped him compensate for his
lack of time at Marist.

week of August and again on Sept.
year.
The State Department of En-
vironmental Conservation is still
investigating two incidents of
chemical dumping this summer on
_the Marist campus, according to a
department spokesman,
.
Results of the investigation were
to be released last
week, but a DEC
representative said Friday'that the
investigation is continuing.
·
According to David Slingerland,
a DEC technician specializing in oil
spills, a completion date has not yet
been set.
The chemical, a non~toxic, tar-
like substance, was discovered in
the pond. south of_ the Gartland ·
Commons Apartments the first
3, said Slingerland.
The college plans to use the pond
as a source of water for the athletic
fields behind the apartments, ac-
cording to Edward P. Waters, vice
president for administration at
Marist.
The chemical reached the pond
through an underground pipe after
entering a drain in the parking lot
east of the pond, according to
Slingerland.
The party responsible for the
spill, when found,
will have to pay
the cost of the cleanup, said
Slingerland.
These are the only known in-
cidents of chemical dumping on
campus, according to Waters.
"We want to pull it together so
we have a fully organized body of
government," he said. "We want
the students to feel they can ap-
proach us with any problems they
might have."
Although Ferony is excited
about his position he said he didn't
originally want to run for the of-
fice of student body president. He
had intended to run for sophomore
class president until he was ap-
proached by last year's Council of
Student Leaders members.

Anderson, who was last year's elec-
tions commissioner, said: "Last

"The exciter is a portable piece

is wire it to the antenna," he said.
Simon said he was unsure of
where he could obtain the funds to
purchase
the
equipment.
"Everybody wanted us to have the
exciter but nobody wanted to pay ·

said Simon.
Final permission to buy the ex-
citer came from the Board of
Trustees, he said.
·
The Financial Board, which
delegates funds to campus
organizations, and the CSL, which
approves fund distribution, were
both very supportive, said Simon.
"The CSL eventually agreed to pay
half the exciter's cost out of their
own budget," he said.
Simon hopes to obtain a larger
audience when the station begins
over-the-air broadcasting, since
students will no longer have to con-

Getting priorities
straight: Take 2
You could almost feel the earth shake last week when the
NCAA handed down the verdict: The Marist men's basketball
team would be prohibited from participation in post-season play
and Assistant Coach Bogdan Jovicic would be banned from off-
campus recruiting for a period of two years.
The NCAA's bullet struck close to the heart.
More than just a successful team, the Marist men's basketball
program has become an integral part of Marist's identity. Their
success has been our success. And last week, the NCAA decision
stung the college almost as much as it stung the team.
That's not surprising. Over the past few seasons, the team has
put Marist "on the map." From countless post-season successes
to Rik Smits' appearance in Sports Illustrated, Marist has had
good reason to be proud of its hoopsters.
But Marist has done a disservice to the team and to the reputa-
tion of the college itself by allowing the men's basketball pro-
gram to become too large a part of the college's self-image.
The pride was taken too far. Numerous violations that occur-
red under Coach Mike Perry were inexcusable, and re~elations
that violations occurred after Perry -
some by a staff member
who continues to work for the team - only served to worsen the
damage.
Regardless of the actual motivation for the violations, the at-
mosphere and attitude of the college toward its basketball team
only served to encourage such behavior.
Marist had it coming. And now the image of the college - not
to mention the players and coaches who were not involved in the
violations -
must suffer.
Our basketball team is strong enough to endure the penalties
that have been imposed._ But only if we come to the realization
that basketball is not central to this college will they ever be able
to reach their potential.

Correction------
In the Sept. 17 issue of The Circle, a story on a benefit concert for
the Raphael
Mark Scholarship Fund incorrectly listed the date for the
concert as Oct. 7. The concert will be held on Oct. 9.
The Marist College Library is
what I like to refer
to
asthe social
center of the campus. It's the place
,where you stop to catch the action
'or chat with a few friends. You
may even meet the guy of your
dreams here or re-kindle an old
friendship. It isn't, however, the
best place to get a good term paper
written.
The first and most significant
problem with the Library is its size.
It is much too small to facilitate the
growing number of students on
• campus.
Just take mid-term or finals
week for example. You will in-
evitably find yourself searching
hopelessly for room to study while
dodging countless bodies strewn on
the floor. After finding a spot, you
will soon realize that you have
entered a sound box. A symphony
of voices will begin to crescendo to
a loud buzz, and before you know
it you will begin to hum to the
music of your neighbor's
"Walkman."
Eventually, you will realize that
your efforts have become counter-
productive and you
will
leave.
But size is not the only problem
in the Library. We must also con-
sider the problem of inadequate
lighting. prehistoric copy machines
and out-of-date books. But maybe
these are merely selfish concerns on
my part.

College fees
are too high,
poll says
(CPS) -
In the great debate
about college costs, a majority of
Americans agree with U.S. Educa-
tion Secretary William Bennett that
schools don't deliver good value
for the dollar.
About 60 percent of the
respondents to a Media General
.
poll released recently said private
colleges, especially, cost much
more than the value of the educa-
tion they deliver.
Students will spend an average of
$10,493
to attend private schools
.
during the
1987-88
school year, ver-
sus an average of
$4,104
for public
colleges and universities, the Col-
lege
Board estimated in August.
Such numbers represent the
severith straight year in which col-
leges have raised "tuition faster than
the inflation rate, a phenomenon
that prompted Bennett to renew his
attack on campus administrators.
.
"The American
·people
have
made a tremendous financial com-
mitment to education," Bennett
said. "It's time we started getting
a much better return on
.
that
investment.''
In all, students, parents, state
legislatures and the federal govern-
ment will spend
$124
billion on
higher education this year, Bennett
figured in his annual back-to-
school report.
"When the cost of tuition is go-
ing up twice as fast as the rate of
inflation,.,
added
Bennett
spokesman Loy Miller, "that's too
much."
The accusation infuriates
educators, who say they must raise
tuition to help compensate for cuts
in the money they get from states
and the federal government, to pay
for
long-delayed
building
maintenance and to raise faculty
salaries, which
·
have been almost
stagnant since
1972.
/
An independent study released
by Research Associates of
Washington the first week of
September, moreover, asserted
that, for the money, colleges are
"one of the best buys in the
country."
.
The study, which examined the
economics of college financing,
noted public campuses have kept
their own costs of educating
students to increases of just
4
per-
cent, a performance "similar to
that of many industries."
The report concluded public col-
leges "remain as productive as
other sectors" of the economy.
A
Research
Associates
spokesman, who asked not to be
named, attributed most of the in-
creases to the need to pay faculty
members more.
"In times of inflation, salaries
don't keep up," the spokesman
said.
"During
periods
of
low infla-
tion, such as now, schools like to
pay back their faculties."

Just as dirty movies on cable
outscore cold toilet seats on the an-
noyance scale, dingleberries might
be less desirable than, say, sitting
next to a sweaty Mediterranean
man
in
one of the Donnelly lecture
rooms.
Experience dictates how we rate
these different "events" in our lives
-
even at Marist.
At the top of the annoyance yard
stick has to be 8: 15 classes and
nausea - though they are related.
Nausea is hell. When some evil
person like Hitler or Gary Coleman
g_oes to hell they are constantly
nauseous. Th.ey are forced to con-
sume Gatorade and chocolate cake
24-hours-a-day, but they can never

And then there are more minor
things.
Searching through a pocket full

is roughly as bothersome as drool-

your head just to create a mini spit-
bridge between cheek and pillow.
Biting the inside of your mouth
equates with having your spleen
freeze dried.
The scale continues
.
One must not try to avoid any
particular hindrance simply
because it's higher on the list than
another
.
One must complete the
path each and every day.
As a general rule,
I try not to
think about these things. People
who constantly complain, to me
anyhow, are tantamount to wild
pitbulls ripping at my gasoline
soaked flesh.
Some
writers
insist
on
highlighting only the depravity in
life -
they are complainers.
If
life was full of only those
things that irritate us, we'd no
doubt go bonkers, nuts, crackers,
and maybe· start killing small
children or something
(I
do, and
I
enjoy it).
When too many curve balls come
my way, I develop this odd fixation
with rusty farm equipment and
male cats. It's almost sensual. It's
as if ... well ... it's another story I
suppose.
There must be another side to
this warped mirror

Is a warm toilet seat as groovy
as watching wildly pornographic
movies on cable while your parents
are on Cape Cod for the weekend?
Perhaps.
I've been told sex is almost as
good as getting the last Pudding
Pop out of the box.
Again, the comparisons could go
on for eternity.
The daily existence a Marist stu-
dent leads may be filled with some
justice or maybe things that are just
not hip. The key to managing from
day-to-day comes from realizing
you cannot have one side of the
road without the other.

cougar matures
by Derek Simon
I'm convinced that no one in
rock 'n' roll requires more of
himself than John Cougar
Mellencamp.
Never has a rocker done so _much
to
earn
the respect of his audience.
Few have grown so drastically with
every record the way Mellencamp
has. The chip is gone from his
shoulder and his "bad boy" at-
titude has disappeared.
Mellencamp is no longer
a
rebel
for the sake of being a rebel. JCM
has grown up and is taking himself
seriously.
Listening to Mellencamp's latest,
The Lonesome Jubilee, it might be
easy to categorize this as his
Nebraska, though slightly less
pessimistic and certainly more
rhythmic. But upon closer scrutiny,
it's closer to Bob Seger's Night
Moves, the next, and perhaps final
step of John's maturation.
This record contains nothing
as
giddy
as
Scarecrow's
"Rumbleseat."
Three
numbers on
this album, for instance, champion
divorced women. It's a record that
deals with unrealized dreams,
wasted potential and impending
mundanity.
The starkness of "Empty
Hands," both musically and in its
lyrical content, can haunt one into
despair. "Without hope, without
love, you've got nothin' but pain

(CPS) -
After a major controversy, the

ed
to apply its no-drinking-on-
camp!ls .~I~
.
t.9
Il,O!\~!JI4.~n.ts,
t90
,
-
The school's athletic department
recently reversed an earlier deci-
sion, and banned alcohol from the
expensive new stadium sky boxes it
.
leased to corporations and alumni.
Earlier this summer,
as
the lux-
ury stadium boxes were under con-
struction, Tennessee officials said
patrons would be allowed to store
and drink alcohol in the 42 sky
boxes because they are considered
leased property.
Except for a faculty club, they
would be the only places on cam-
pus where people are
.
allowed to
drink liquor, since the board of
trustees barred alcohol from the
campus when the state raised its
legal drinking age to
21.
"There was quite an \lProar,"
Tennessee Student Government
Association President Rusty Gray
said.
"A lot of people felt very unhap-
py about it. Alcohol is not allow-
ed on campus. All of a sudden
there's a designated area for
alcohol, and students felt like that
was unfair."
.
"This showed that they liste~ed
to what we had to say," Gray ex-
plained. "It was
a
good decision."
"The university felt like it was in
its best interests to have a consis-
tent
policy
on alcohol on campus,"
said Tennessee Associate Athletic
Director Mitch Barnhart.
"While the boxes were being
leased," Tennessee Executive Vice
President Joe Johnson said,
"alcohol came up. Since the sky
boxes
provide
a
controlled environ-
ment, and
is
separate from the rest
of the stadium, we felt that what
ever
a
person does, as long as it's
legal and ethical, should
be
a
deci-
sion made by the person who leases
the box."
When students objected and
pressured the trustees to review the
issue, Tennessee's athletic depart
-
ment decided to ban liquor from
the boxes.
"The questions raised by
students were legitimate," Johnson
said. "Since the issues were being
·
raised, we decided we'd go back to
where we were."
damn," he sings.
Mellencamp is no longer looking
at the individual, he's looking into
them.
Mellencamp has perhaps come
Of
sound
mind
up with the finest socially analytical
track of all-time in "Check It
Out." His observations are, to say
the least, insightful. John points
out how one
can
all
too often go
through the motions of living, but
yet "you can't tell your best bud-
dy that you love
him."
He sadly points out that "this is
all that we've learned about hap-
piness." For future generations, he
hopes that "maybe they'll have a
better understanding." If nothing
else, Mellencamp has become
thought provoking.
The key element present
throughout Jubilee is the compas-
sion of the songwriter. It is hard to
envision that
all
of this is not from
Mellencamp's heart.
Even the deepest
criticism
that
John wields on the record is
tempered with pity. He has become
a keen observer of society through
practicality and realization rather
than scorn of those who falter.
Mellencamp can relate and em-
.
pathize with
many -.
not just those
who share his experiences - which
is a rare gift.
Sure, Mellencamp's politics are
a little confused, but so are mine.
Jubilee does have some fairly trite
·
Reaganesque pieces, namely
"Down and Out in Paradise" and
"Hard Times For
An
Honest
Man," but these are forgiveable
because they're well-intentioned.
The aptly-titled "Hard Times
For An Honest Man" is the
biographical
·
sketch of the
frustrated middle-class working
man whose pride has been hurt and
as a result, "takes it out on the ones
he loves."
Perhaps this is just
ai
little too
rerniniscient of another rocker who
champions the working-class, but
once again, it's forgiveable for its
good intentions .
John Cougar Mellencamp
has
delivered one killer album with The
Lonesome Jubilee. He hasn't taken
any of the easy routes available by
writing another Scarecrow. His
daring accordian/fiddle instrumen-
tation with a couple of "soul
sisters" thrown in for authenticity
make this album legitimate, heart-
felt rock 'n' roll.
No more "little ditties" about
chilli dogs for Mr. Mellencamp.
Maturity is no longer around the
corner.

The·
rugby
romance
by-Annie Breslin
As Fall settles in on the Marist
College campus, the field just
behind the McCann Recreation
Center bustles · with activity ..
Halfbacks. quarterbacks and
defensive linemen cover the beaten
down grass that serves as a prac-
tice football field.
On the field, one voice carries
above the sounds of colliding
plastic equipment. Head Coach
Mike Mallet is shouting mostly
constructive, frequently dishearten-
ing, sometimes just plain nasty
comments at the mud-covered,
quickly-tiring squad.
He is the coach after all - they'll
do it-and they'll improve or they'll
watch the . games from the
· bleachers.
Off to the side, athletic trainer
Glenn Marinelli watches. Football
is a very physical, dangerous sport,
and he'll· put the players back
together if they get broken up.
It's all very methodical, very
organized and very disciplined.
Most people would agree that
this is the way sports should be -
sports should be organized and
athletes should be disciplined.
Most people don't play rugby.
Rugby practice is underway,
North of
McCann,
just across from
the chapel.·
.
29
men are gathered on the
sunken, grassy field. With torn T-
shirts and high school football
jersey's their only protection, they
form a "scrum" and try· to knock
the white, swollen ball out behind
them into the hands of a teammate.
They get knocked around in the
process.
-
_ They're alone on the field. No
co.ach provides
_
_
authority and·
discipline to the training program.
Rugby is a club sport on the col-
lege level and, though many col-
lege's employ rugby coaches, ·
Marist does not. There's also no
athletic trainer standing by with a
first-aid kit.
·
·
The younger players l_isten in-
. tently to senior John McGurk, the
club president.
All
eyes are
fixed
on
McGurk as he explains the ensuing
drills. They run through various
drills -
again and again -
until
they're faster and smoother than
before, not because they have to,
because they want to -
they ac-
tually enjoy this stuff.
And if they get broken up, that's
their problem.
There are no curfews before
matches and no punishments for
missed practices. There's noone to
answer to, yet they're there -
everyday - running, passing, fall-
ing, sweating and occasionally,
bleeding. _
No helmets, no pads, rio taped
wrists or. ankles. Just
15
team
players, a funny-looking white ball
and a common desire to break
bones.
Why? What attracts them to this
reckless disregard for health and
safety?
"You're legally able to hurt so-
meone," said McGurk, explaining
that competitiveness is somewhat
missin2 from the snort.
"It's the roughest team spon
you're allowed to play in school,
said freshman Justin Meise, "that
does it for me."
Gerard
Battista,
another
freshman, had a different view of
the game. "It's a gentleman's
sport," he said.
.
Come on Gerry, Chess is a
gentleman's sport. Do you guys
just love violence?
A closer look reveals a truer
rugby attraction. Etched on the
side of the ball is the word
"Michelob."
McGurk calls out a play:
"Schaefer -
1, Lowenbrau -
2."

Tough defense carries
soccer to
4-0
record
by Paul Kelly
A new Marist security force pro-
wled Western Pennsylvania Satur-
day, wearing soccer cleats.
.
Officers Gerry Sentochnik, John
Gilmartin, Bill Kenny and Joe
"Lobster" Madden stalked any in-
truders and rudely expelled them,
bypassing walkie-talkies and vans
for their feet, and in Madden's
case, hands.
What was this newfangled
security force removing? Robert
Morris scoring chances, and in the
process it preserved a 2-0 Marist
lead and maintained The Streak.

intrusion will make the force's job
tougher, much tougher.
·Monday, while the team
prepared for its key matchup
yesterday against St. Francis, N. Y.,
a surgeon . reset the fractured
cheekbone of Marist's star scorer,
Edwards.
Edwards, who has scored five of
the Red Foxes' eight goals this
season, broke the cheekbone dur-
ing last Tuesday's Army game
when he caught an Army player's
elbow in the face while attempting
to head the ball. He will miss two
to three weeks, said Head Coach
Dr. Howard Goldman.
Obviously, the prospect of play-
ing without Edwards for possibly
five games does n~t please
Goldman. When· asked about a
solution, Goldman replied,
"pray." :
However, Goldman does have
· one earthly solution to the dilem-
ma facing the team. The security
force.
T_he defense's performance
against Robert Morris not only
secured the victory, but it gave
Goldman a performance to base his
strategy upon during Edwards'
convalescence. ,
"They (Robert Morris) were
frustrated when we didn't give
them many open shots," said
Goldman. "They had a few, but
Madden took care of those.
"The guys are playing strong
defense," said Goldman about the
basic man-to-man marking system
his team utilizes. "They're tighten-
ing up once a man gets within 20
yards of the goal.
If the defense
pulls their socks up, we'll be all
right."
Potential replacements for Ed-
wards are· Tim Finegan, Kudzai
Kambarami, Charlie Ross and
Dave Sullivan, said Goldman.
Compounding the problems
caused by Edwards' absence is a
small· playmaking puzzle which
Goldman has detected among his
players. "I wantto
see
a little more ·
offensive cohesiveness where we get
a string of four to five passes
together and get the shot off," said
Goldman. "Now we're only getting
two or three passes~!.!..
Despite the team's apparent pro-
blems, Goldman said the team
re-
mains optimistic. "They're
together," he said. "There are no
major problems. It's always more
fun when you win."

"We've.lost

Head Coach Vic

"We were the best team there,"
said VanCarpels, "but the of-
ficiating, especially in the Holy
Cross Gatne, was atrocious -
we
considered filing a complaint with
the
NCAA."
VanCarpels' squad lost to Holy
Cross 3-2, while Columbia and
Lehigh ousted the Red Foxes 3-1.
Fairfield fell prey to the Lady
Spikers 3-0.
"On top of the poor officiating,
one of our top players, Patty
Billen, decided she didn't want a
career in volleyball anymore," said
the three-year coach.
"Fortuna~ely, freshman Kim
Andrews stepped in and did
everything Billen could do," he
said.
Senior, captain Maryanne Casey
echoed VanCarpels sentiments and
said the squad played better than
ever.
"For this early in the season, we
are playing better as a team than
we have since I've been here," she
said. "We should have beat these
teams, I don't know what's holding
