Professor cooks Up
a
.culinary
delight
by Karen Cicero
Last weekend, Marist math
professor Barbara Van Italie
had a date with the Pillsbury
-
Dough Boy.
As a finalist in the 33rd an-
nual Bake-off·- Cooking and
Baking Contest, the Pillsbury
Company awarded Van Italie
an all-expenses paid trip to San
Diego to compete for mo~e than
$126 000 in cash and prizes.
Alihough she is not pennitt~
to reveal its contents, Van Itahe
said that the recipe, entered in
the Wholesome Alternatives
category of the contest, has
been published
in several
cookbooks.
However,
she
significantly altered the recipe to
add to its nutritional value.
According to contest rules,
participants are required
,to
use
one of the companies products
as ingredients. Van ltalie joked,
"Maybe I'll see my recipe on the
back of a bag of frozen
vegetables."
Even though she considers
the whole matter to be very
light, her family and friends are
proud of her. Her husband,
Phil, said, "It's super. We've all
gotten real excited.
·
Barb has
always been a great cook but
nobody expected this."
_
In fact, Van Italic said that
this is the first recipe that she
•
has ever entered in a cooking
contest. "I
was
astonished when
.
I received the news," she said.
"I've been making this recipe
for years."
Apparently Pillsbury liked
her recipe because it passed
through
several levels of
elimination before reaching the
finals.
After Van Italie submitted
her recipe, Pillsbury officials
reviewed it to see if it complied
with contest rules. The agency's
home economists selected those
recipes which best met ju~ging
criteria. The recipes were sent to
the Pillsbury test kitchens for
further evaluation. Test panels
then submitted their recommen-
dations and a search was began
to insure the originality of the
entry.·
Van ltalie received her award
notification in December and
had three months to prepare f?r
the competition. But, she said
she has been preparing most of
her life.
"Cooking was one of the few
household things that I have
always enjoyed," she said.

Good neighbors to score
points in housing contest
by Steven Murray
-
In an effort to cut down the
amount of money spent on dorm
damages and to make students
more aware of their environment,
the Housing Office has devised a
·
program that will monitor dorm
damage weekly and
'reward
the
house with the least amount of
damage, according to Jim Raimo,
assistant director of housing.
The program, which is called
SCORE -
Students Concerned
about Our Residential Environ-
ment ...:..
will begin as part of En-
vironmental Awareness Week on
Saturday and continue for two
months.
Dorm damage for the spring and
fall semesters of 1987 totalled
39,769. The goal of the housing of-
fice, according tci Raimo, is to cut
dorm damages in half in com-
parison to last year. The SCORE
program, along with the electronic
doors in the dorms, should help
reach that goal, he said.
"The electronic doors have stop-
ped kids who don't belong in the
dorms
from getting
in the
buildings, breaking things and leav-
ing," said Raimo
"The SCORE program is good
because it gives students ·control
over their own destiny," Raimo
said.
"The
program
makes
students aware of both their
general and specific environment
and by cutting down the amount of
dorm damage saves the students
•
money they would have to spend
on damage repairs and fines."
The program divides the campus
into a north section - consisting·
of the Townhouses, North Road
houses, Gartland Commons Apart-
ments and the Canterbury Apart-
ments -
and a south section -
consisting of Sheahan, Leo and
Champagnat halls as well as Benoit

Bollmann said.
Ballmann said her role at the col-
lege is to educate women as well as
discuss birth control. She sees an
average of 10 students a week.
"When a girl leaves here she
knows more about her body, its
functions and herself as a woman,"
said Bollnian, who holds office
hours Tuesday nights. "My job
here is twofold. It is to educate the
women in need of a service and it
is to provide a sense ohesponsibili-
ty for the student: to themselves
and their possible partners."
Arrangements for the services
were made through St. Francis
Hospital, which provides health
care for Marist students. Bollmroµi
said officials at both the college
and the hospital felt having so-
meone on campus part-time would
be less expensive than frequent
hospital visits by students.
Along with taking care of
students' problems, Ballmann said
she does prescribe birth control at
the request of the student but she
said she explains different methods
and their problems before prescrib-
ing them.
"I will not deny a girl the chance
to be responsible to herself," she
said. "The girls are old enough and

Many students praised the ser-

if
they don't know
about it.
"It isn't publicized because
they
don't want to make it apparent that
people at Marist are having sex,"
said Julie Cullinane, a sophomore
from Worcester, Mass. She said
she hadn't known gynecological
services
were available through the
college.
"They should let the students
know
about it in case they have a
problem, even if it's not just for
birth control.
A

said. "This is someplace they can
go

they need help."
Susan Murphy, a sophomore
from Rye,

agreed.
"I

this is a benefit to the students but
how can we take advantage of it if
many of us don't know about it?"
Murphy said.
"The school knows what's going
on," Murphy said. "This is. a
chance for us to take the respon-
sibility to protect ourselves."
Donna Jeannette, a sophomore
from Mineola,

said the ser-
vice
would do more good
if
it were
publicized.
"This is such a benefit to the

Exhibits at the Marist Library this month are in celebration
of Black
.History
Month.
Black past
on display
by
Peter O'Keefe
To commemorate Black History
Month, the
Marist
College Special
Activities Program has set up
an
exhibition focusing on the history
of slavery in Dutchess County and
a tribute to one of the most power-
ful leaders of the 20th century,
Marcus Garvey.
Garvey was the founder of the
Universal Negro Improvement
Association which became the
largest black organization of its
time. One of his main goals was to
enhance the economic status of
blacks through trade with other
blacks in America, the Caribbean
and Africa.
The exhibit, in the Library, cites
key events that affected slavery in
the area.
One such event was the introduc-
tion of the famous Tallmadge
Amendment, by James Tallmadge,
in Poughkeepsie. Slavery was
started by the Dutch in 1624 and
ended when New York State
abolished it in 1827.
On the one hundredth anniver-
sary of Garvey's birth, Latif Islam,
head of the exhibit said Marist
honors a man who was instrumen-
tal in the black movement for
freedom,justice and equality. Ac-
cording to Islam, a change will be
made later in the month to
acknowledge another distinguished
man, James Baldwin.
Brawley case has Hudson Valley in spotlight
Editor's note: The case of
Tawana Brawley, the Wappingers
Falls teen who was allegedly raped
by at least six white men, has been
in the news for the last four
months. It bas captured national
attention.
This
is a brief
chronology of the events of the
case.
by Tim Besser
Last Friday, the lawyers for
Tawana Brawley, a black 16-year-
old Wappingers Falls girl, met with
New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and
agreed to cooperate with state
'of-
ficials investigating the alleged rape
of Brawley by six white men.
It is the latest event in a saga that
began Nov. 28 of last year when
Brawley was • found in a semi-
conscious state in a plastic bag near
her honie. She was covered with
feces and the words "KKK" and
"nigger" were written on her body.
She told her parents that she had
been abducted by a white man and
taken to the woods where she was
forced to have sex with at least six
white men, one of whom displayed
a badge and claimed to be a police
officer.
Brawley was taken to St. Fran-
cis Hospital in Poughkeepsie and
was treated and released. Her
parents have expressed displeasure
with the treatment she received,
saying she was there for four hours
before the hospital notified them ..

Police still looking
for campus flasher
The writing on the wall:
by
Mark Miller
The Town of Poughkeepsie Police are looking for the man who ex-
posure himself to three Marist students on campus last month.
Jennifer Carrabetta, Brigid Duffy and Andrea Pulver, sophomores,
saw a red Honda Prelude slow as it approached the entrance to the
townhouses' parking lot, near the path to the Lowell Th?mas Com-
munications Center. They wondered why it had stopped.·
.
"It looks like he's playing with himself," joked one of the girls. As
they walked closer to the car, they noticed something quite peculiar; he
was.
On Friday, Jan. 29, the police were notified of the incident and Detec-
tive Tom Mauro began an investigation.
•
"We are actively working with Detective Mauro," said Joseph Wa!er~,
director of safety and security. "Our guards are well aware of the mc1-
dent. We don't want a reoccurrence."
.
The girls, reported to security chat Friday and turned in unofficial
statements to the police.
.
.
Pulver was able to take down the license number: 3796 A VP. This
helped Mauro
a
great deal, according to D~ffr, a~ th_e
owner of the car
has been arrested five times since 1976 for s1m1lar
mc1dents. The last ar-
rest took place in 1982.
.
.
Feb. 4, Carrabetta saw the Prelude agam on the way to her cla~s. m
Marist East. The car sat parked in front of Lowell Thomas. She nouf1ed
the Marist East security guard who relayed the information t? Water~.
According to Duffy, Mauro had not been contacted by Manst Securi-
ty regarding the second sighting. Late~ that afternoon Mauro called the
girls to the police station to get offi

1a~.sta~ements. ..
"If
the car is seen on campus agam, satd Waters, every attempt
to apprehend the suspect will be made."
On that Wednesday, Mauro showed the girls six photographs ~f men
who had been arrested before but the girls were unable to pmpomt the
suspect as his face had been hidden by sunglasses and a beard.

What's behind graffiti?•
by
Pamela Shewchuk
What is so appealing about
. desks,
bathroom
stalls and
stairwells that causes people to
reveal their fantasies, desires and
innermost
·secrets
for everyone to
see?
•
Throughout
the
campus,
students have taken it upon
themselves to redecorate library
books, cubicles, lavatory walls and
desktops with free advice, illustra-
tions, and as many personal opi-
nions as one can imagine.
Some of the poets at the school
have written out entire poems with
illustrations accompanying them.
Occasionally, a desk is graced with
the beginning of a survey or a
check list.
Sayings like, "who sits here?"
and answers like "who cares,"
adorn desks everywhere. Then a
third party tells that someone
"where to go."
Robert Reisneer, author of the
book Graffiti said graffiti occurs
"when a thought occurs to so-
meone suddenly, or something is
experienced during the day, and
there is a compulsion to express it,
if not to another person, then to
whatever is close at hand: a paper,
wall, rock, tree or door.••-., ·,
Graffiti are "little insights, little
peepholes into the minds· of in-
dividuals who are spokesman not
only for themselves but for others
like them," said Reisneer.
The word graffiti comes from
the Italian graffiare, "to scratch"
and the singular of it is graffito,
said Reisneer.
Ann Haykel, a junior from
Williamsville, N. Y ., said she thinks
people write on desks when they're
bored with a class. She then said
it's a good way to talk to the per-
son who sits next
to
you without
disturbing the teacher.
Haykel said, "On a lot of the
desks people scribble names of rock
groups and their symbols, and how
they feel about the particular
group."
.
In the book The Handwriting on
the Wall,
Author Ernest L. Abel
said, "The anonymity and the
secrecy associated with writing
graffiti on toilet walls suggest that
there is a certain amount of shame
involved in being recognized as the
author of
such
inscriptions."
Melissa Pascal, a junior form
Garden City
N.Y.,
said "people
reveal inner secrets of who they like
or who they don't like on desks and
•
bathroom walls because they know
that they can remain anonymous
unless your roommate knows your
handwriting."
"People
write their names
sometimes just to let other people
know that they have a girlfriend or
boyfriend," said Pascal.
The most popular
graffiti
around campus are.sayings about
how people feel about each other
and who's hot and who's not.
These sayings can be found almost
anywhere on campus in all dif-
ferent colors and forms.
"The inscriptions give a more
rounded picture of a society than
is possible in the deliberately phras-
ed message of the conventional ar-
tist or author. At the very least,
graffiti helps to uncover the more
elusive aspects of a society's
character," said Abel.
Abel said, "Every graffito can
thus be seen and or read as a
miniature autobiography
of a
member of a society in the sense
that the graffitist reveals a part or
himself and his society in all that
he writes."

Poverty work opens

by Chris Landry .
In 1986, Deirdre Phayer entered
Marist thinking she was much bet-
ter than others because she went to
college.
Later that year; through Marist's
Campus Ministry, she went on her
first volunteer experience helping
the poor and homeless.
Today, Phayer says she will
dedicate a year after college to help
the homeless in some way.
"You should experience the dif-
ferent ways of life outside the
Marist bubble,'' Phayer, a com-
munication arts major, said.

vidence Ministries for the Needy in

said Sister Eileen
Ha116ran, director of Campus
Ministry.
Campus Ministry has run eight
trips since 1982. Four involved
building housing for the poor in
Ohio, while the other three involv-
ed working in daycare centers in
Georgia.
Students became a,vare of the
great number of homeless and poor
in this country and especially in
small towns like Holyoke, Sister
Eileen said.
"There are a lot of poor people
everywhere, you just don't know
it," Phayer said. "People don't
choose to see them."
Ed McEneney, a sophomore
from Westchester County, said he
could not believe that there were so
many homeless people in a small
town like Holyoke.
The poor and the homeless are
right under our noses even here in
Poughkeepsie, McEneney said.
This year's volunteer .experience,
which was held in the first week of
January, had seven students work-
ing in three houses in Holyoke.

Campus bands to play Friday
. by Nathalie Feola
The rock bands Krusade and
White Lightning will play at a com-
bination concert and dance spon-
sored by College Activities tomor-
row night at 9:30 p.m. in the
cafeteria.
White Lightning's members are
guitarist Jon Coghill, of Bloom-
field, Conn., bass player Karl
Allweire, of Huntington, Conn.,
and drummer Mike Fields, of
Bristol, R.I. All three members of
the band are Marist freshmen.
The band originated when the
students first met each other in Leo
Hall where the three live.
Fields was practicing with his
drumsticks when he heard someone
playing guitar. He went into
Coghill's room and they agreed to
play together the next day. Fields
and Coghill were practicing when
they heard Allweire playing bass
and asked him to join.
"I'm thinking of this more as a
career. It's something I really like
to do," said Coghill.
White Lightning was recently of-
fered a tentative recording contract
with CBS ~nd may go on tour for
six months, Fields said.
Krusade's lead singer, Garry
Ryan, of Queens, N. Y ., is a Marist
senior, while the band's other
members, bass player Gerard
Wagner, guitarist Omar Fara and
drummer Robert O'Donnell are
not Marist students.
"It's the first time the college has
asked us. It's going to be a big
break," said Ryan.
According to Ryan, some of
Krusade's songs have been played
on radio station 1-95 in Danbury,
Conn. Although Krusade has been
offered recording contracts from
independent labels, they have
decided to wait for offers from ma-
jor label recording companies
before making a decision.
"I would like to have this as a
future career. I think we really have
a good chance," said Ryan.
Krusade (pictured above) and White Lightning will perform

viewpoint
Alcohol policy
must be changed
Drunk driving, a major problem
that has been addressed on a na-
tional level for the past decade, has
fatally
struck
the
Marist
community.
I am sure that as friends, room-
mates, faculty, staff and ad-
ministrators, we mourn the loss of
two fine students and human be-
ings. But it is time that we, as a
community, address the issues in-
volving ihe safe transportation of
persons under the influence of
alcohol and the alcohol policies of
this institution.
The safety of our community
members is an important, integral
part of the social responsiveness of
this fine institution. We don't need
the tragic loss to recur in our small
society
that
exists
here
in
Poughkeepsie.
As a student here at Marist for
three years, I have seen how the
Mari.st community has progressed
and regressed. As a person direct-
ly involved in this call for read-
dressment of these issues, I see on-
ly one factor that is the key to the
problem.
The key is not who is responsi-
ble anymore, the key is to save
lives.
As the law states, in summation,
it is illegal for a person under the
age of 21 to purchase alcohol and
it is illegal to distribute alcohol to
a minor. However, the word minor
refers to anyone under the age or
18. Therefore, the consumption of
alcohol. by any person under 18 is
illegal in this state.
'
Now, let's concentrate on some
of the college's views on this issue.
The promotion of alcohol by adop-
ting a closed-door policy increases
attrition
rates,
vandalism,
disciplinary actions taken involving
alcohol and the liability of the in-
stitution for its students health and
welfare. These are very important
topics that need to be looked at
closely.
But are we liable for the con-
sumption of alcohol by our com-
munity? Most certainly, but I have
a problem with that issue.·,
:
We are responsible for the 21
Society members and faculty, staff
and administrators who consume
alcohol at Marist functions. What
about the responsibility of those
persons?
On top of it all, the students pay
for some of the alcohol that is con-
sumed at these functions by dona-
tions or the tuition they pay. What
a contradiction in policies. The
cliche, different strokes for dif-
ferent folks seems to apply.
However what is the real issue?
The real issue lies in saving lives.
My feelings and the feelings of a
majority of the Marist community
are:
A transportation system that not
only supplies transportation for in-
dividuals who may be under the in-
fluence of alcohol,
but also
transportation for students to have
access to the Poughkeepsie area, is
needed or a readdress the policies
set about alcohol in the residence
areas.
I can not stress more, how im-
portant this topic is.
I
urge you to
contact your class officers and
pressure them for an open meeting
to be held about this dilemma that
we are facing.
The education of our communi-
ty is important and the resources
must be available. Those resources
must come from the entire Marist
community. You can institute the
changes in our society if you are
willing to take the little time that
is necessary.
This institution is our school, it's
our community and it's out lives.
We are responsible for them now
and in the future. The time has
come. Let's make Marist College
the socially responsible institution
hat we all are striving to make it.

I want to tell her she has no taste,

I do not.
Instead I say, "They match your

"Wrap 'em up," she says as her

As she exits, a lovely couple

Snow shove
key to winter survival
by Keli Dougherty
All
those people out there who have gotten stuck in any of the
Marist College parking lots know first hand what I am about
to
say: "It's a cruel world out there and hail to those who have their
own snow shovel."
Last semester I bought a snow shovel in the middle of our first
really bad snow storm, it turned out to be the best
$7
that
I
spent
at Jamesw~y. I thought it was a little silly at the time, what would
I use it for? Shoveling the walk in front of our townhouse? Sure,
I
thought, then
I
won't have to do it with a broom anymore.
Actually at the time
I
bought my snow shovel
I
didn't feel so
bad, I went shopping with a friend who was buying an ice scraper
for his car.
As winter progressed I kept my snow shovel in the back seat
of my car (because it wouldn't fit in the trunk) and used it here
and there. With the last few snowstorms it has gotten a lot of use.
I
just remember in which row and how many spaces down
I
left
my car, then the next morning
I
count down and start digging.
One night after returning from being out,
l
couldn't find a park-
ing space that was clean and clear, so
l
just parked,
put
on the
hazard lights and started to dig out a parking space that hadn't
been excavated yet. There is one good point to
not
having front
wheel drive, you only have to dig out half of the parking space,
unless you park your car nose out, but I am just thankful to get
it into a parking space safe and sound.
l
'm not the only one who gets stuck
(1
d hate to be alone in this
joy of college life). Last Monday morning I woke up really early
and after taking a shower and getting dressed, I heard some poor
person's car making stuck-in-the-snow sounds. Throwing on a
jacket I went out to help. I firmly believe that we should help each
other in situations like these, because we never know when we might
get stuck.
(If
you don't own a car please disregard that last
statement.)
I have a plan though (some of the credit should go to my room-
mate). What if Marist organized the townhouse residents so that
one section of the parking lot would move their cars to Lowell
Thomas' parking lot and then maintenance could plow. Then they
move their cars back and another section moves to Lowell Thomas.
Continue until the lot is plowed and we won't get stuck. It seems
simple enough. Doesn't it?
Lately my snow shovel has been showing wear, like for instance
it bends easily and the handle likes to come out just when I have
a heavy shovelful of snow. I have two recourses: buy a new snow
shovel or switch to a bicycle.
I think I'll buy a new snow shovel, my bike doesn't have a heater.

Program helps the dying find dignity
From Vietnam
to Wall Street
by Ken Hommel
Gooooood
Afternoooon,
Poooughkeepsie!
It's time to check out Robin
Williams' latest hit climbing box
office charts all over the coun-
try. A comedy set in Vietnam
. backed up by golden oldies
from
the
'60s.
It's
not
"Popeye's Platoon" or "The
War According to Garp."
Finally, Williams has woken up
and made a film best suited to
his improvisational
talents:
"Good Morning, Vietnam."
Backed up by writer-director
Barry Levinson, Williams rocks·
both soldiers and brass in his
portayal loosely based on disc
jockey Adrian Cronauer. Who
else but Williams could carry on
over the air by ad libbing for
·a
large part of the film while cap-
turing the insanity of war in a
morning talk show?
The real Cronauer faced
more than just the censorship_
and
military
•
regulations
brought to light in the film. The
sort of restrictions that prevent
Williams from reporting about
a tragedy he barely
escaped.
Even though "Good Morning,
Vietnam" is a playground for
Williams' comic skills, it also
wisely displays the battleground
no one in Vietnam could ignore.
It is nevertheless a comedy
and an honestly funny one. In
a year when we've been invad-
ed by Vietnam war movies, it is
a delight to see there are human
dramas and stories that still can

In 1982 Bob Jones, a welfare
recipient
from the city of
Poughkeepsie was told he had ter-
minal cancer. His wife was dead,
his son was an alcoholic and his
daughter was sick with breast
cancer.
Bob Jones' name has been
changed for this article by request
of Hospice of Dutchess County.
Jones did not want to die alone.
He wanted to be taken care of his
last days.
"The dying know what they
want," said Kathy Miller, coor•
dinator of voluteers at Hospice.
Miller admitted Jones to the
Stratsburg Manor nursing home
where she took care of him. Two
weeks later he died -
but not

soldiers.
Bruno Kirby is irritatingly
amusing as the superior officer
who doesn't quite understand
Williams' humor or popularity,
while believing he himself is
funnier. Imagine Frank Burns

you'll get an idea how ridiculous
Kirby's DJ stint is. Let's hope
Williams· continues to ally
himself with talented people and
achieve the film.success he has
long deserved.
Speaking of
:
success, you
don't have to be a member of
the Sheen• Estevez familv to
realize that the theme of "Wall
Street" is greed. If Charlie
Sheen and Michael Douglas' ap•
pearances in the film are any in•
dication, I think combing your
hair all the way back should be
a warning sign.
"Wall Street" powerfully il-
lustrates the corruption of a
young stockbroker
(Sheen)
under the wing of a vicious cor-
porate raider (Douglas). The
terminology of the stock market
may alienate some
at
first but
think of Oliver Stone's latest
writer-director effort as a civiliz•
ed "Platoon" or a white-collar
"Scarface:"
Despite slick direction and an
intriguing account of today's
capitalist society, "Wall Street"
has siature but not enough
drama. The scenes between
Sheen and his blue-collar father
(played by Martin Sheen) was
the only realism straying from
the stereotypes Sheen and
Douglas portray.
I found "Wall Street" to be
well worth the investment of
time and money because of
Douglas and the Sheens but
lacking the depth and emotion
Stone himself criticized in the
business world.

False alarms
-plague frosh
by Mary Stricker
Residents of Leo Hall have
been introduced to a new course
that was not listed in the course
advisor.
The class begins anywhere
from 11 p.m. to
5
a.m. and re-
quires students to stand outside
in
freezing
temperatures
whether they are wearing a
winter coat, thermal underwear
or a T-shirt and shorts.
The course • could
ap-
propriately be titled Introduc-
tion to False Alarm.
The creators of the course
are, for the most part, intox-
icated students who seem to find
it hilarious or exciting to pull a
fire alarm and watch residents
drag themselves out of bed into
the cold night.
."I _have a friend who .got
frostbite," said Steve Cali, a
L'eo resident
from
Old
Westbury, N.Y., referring to
Nov. 15, at 3:41 a.m., when so-
meone blew baby powder into
, a smoke detector in l;eo Hall
causing_th_e
alarm to sound.
• The students were not allow-
ed back in the building for
almost an hour because there
was a problem with resetting the
alarm, according to Joseph
Waters, director of safety and
security.
"We couldn't put 300 people
·back in the building and have
no fire alarm working," said
Waters.
Many students, however, said
they were kept outside longer
than necessary and were treated
unfairly by Security when they
went to Sheahan Hall to stay
warm.
"There was one kid who on-
ly had on underwear and a T-
shirt and they kicked him out of
Sheahan," said Patrick Coine,
a Leo resident from
Mid-
dletown,
N.Y.
"The fire department had
long gone and they still
wouldn't let us in," said George
Margarites, also a Leo resident
from Dix Hills, N.Y. "They
said
they were trying to fix it but
meanwhile the RDs and securi-
ty are sitting in the lobby talk-
ing to each other."
According to Waters, the
students are allowed to go into
any of the other buildings dur-
ing a fire alarm and that it is the
responsibility of the fire chief to
determine when students should
be allowed back in the building.
Each time an alarm is
tampered with, the building is
fined $150 which is included in
the floor damages fee paid by
the students, according to Steve
Sansola, director of housing.
Of the 35 fire alarms in cam-
pus housing since September
1987, 22 have had reported
malfunctions,
six
were working
alarms and seven were tamper-
ings caused by students pulling
the alarm, lighting a match to
the smoke detector or using
baby powder, according to
Sansola.
The reports are not always ac-
curate becausdf Security can-
not prove that an alarm has
been tampered with they must
list it as a malfunction.
To
reduce
tamperings,
Security has installed coverings
on the alarms, which sound off
only in the building if pulled,
hoping that pranksters will get
scared by the sound and run
away. The sound can be stop-
ped by pushing the cover back
in place and will not alert the
fire department or Security.
Security has also put a dusted
powder on the alarms which
leaves the prankster with purple
hands after pulling the alarm.

It was Sunday night, and as
usual I was staring into my all
knowing computer terminal.
How might I amuse my readers
.
this week? I wondered. I look-
ed back on one of the more bor-
ing weekends in recent history.
It started off slowly-'---the girls
in the Garden Apartments had
canceled their traditional Thurs-
day evening festivities, so I
decided that sleep was the op-
tion
I should exercise.
Friday night looked promis-
ing: Berties Happy Hour, a few
parties, and then Skinner's. Ber-
ties was OK (although there
weren't enough IBMers there-to
mock). The next stop was my
couch, which at the
time,
seem-
ed to be the obvious place to
spend the rest of my evening.
Saturday night was slightly
different -
I
stayed sober.
I
went
to
the Marist Hockey
game to watch my hockey idols;
Mike Medwig (my favorite
blood-thirsty
defenseman/goon), Scott Ken-
dall (a strange cross between
Jerry Garcia
and
Mike Bossy),
and the always exciting Andy
Giberti (a man that does not
know that slamming a player
twice your size is potentially life-
threatcning).
Then there was a choice to be
made: do
l
hit Berries
Late
Night Happy Hour and dance
to loud music, or do
I
go
to
Skinner's and attempt
to
hold
an intelligent conversation while
trying to yell loud enough to
block out "Meatloaf"
and
watch the fights.
J
decided on
Skinner's

5.

cheap pitchers and some good
live bands.
6. Hunan Garden: (Main

priced Chinese food ($3.90
lunch special), in a quiet, com-
fortable place.
i.
Vassar Lake: A cool place
to take a date. "A can of

Sometimes I really enjoy wat-
ching sports on television. A good
championship fight or an exciting
World Series always amuse me.
Put me in front of a television set
with John Madden announcing and
I can probably stay there all day.
Even if he is announcing Tunisian
camel races.

Yeah, sometimes I really enjoy

Last weekend, however, was not
one of those times.
I thought I'd try to watch the

There is a former national cham-
pion walking around the Maris!
campus. Look around -
he may
be standing next to you.
He's watched by thousands of
screaming fans every week. If
you've been to a Maris! College
men's basketball game you've seen
him and cheered for him.
No, his name isn't Rik Smits.
He's Joey O'Connor, a former
Amatuer Athletic Union Junior
Olympics National Champion in
cross country and the one-mile and
two-mile runs. He won national
titles in 1978, 1980 and 1981. In
1980 and 1981 O'Connor was also
the starting point guard on a team
that won the Junior Olympics Na-
tional Basketball Championships
held in Houston, Texas.
O'Connor,
from Elizabeth,
N
.J.,
first started running and
playing basketball in kindergarten.
"My grammar school coach
made it mandatory to run track if
we wanted to play basketball and

be good at it,"
O'Connor said.
He continued to compete in
track and cross-country in high
school, earning First-Team All-
State honors as a freshman and
sophomore at Metuchen High
School in Metuchen, N.J. After his
sophomore year O'Connor felt he
was at a cross-roads and it was
decision-making time.
"I
could see that my rivals were
catching up to me and that it was
going to take year-round dedica-
tion to stay on top,"
.O'Connor
said. "After receiving All-State
honors
my
freshman
and
sophomore years, I felt almost as
if there wasn't anything left for me
to accomplish," he said,
"I
was
looking for a challenge - and that
challenge was in basketball.•·
It's a small wonder that O'Con-
nor would excel on the hardwood
floors of the basketball court
almost as much as he did on the
track
with
his lanky
6'4"
160-pound frame.
During h1s
junior year at Metuchen, he led his
team to the New England Prep
School Championship. He was
ranked among the top 10 point
guards in the East by Eastern
Basketball magazine following that
season.
After transferring to Marist
from the Universitv of Ncvada-
Reno, O'Connor found himself
having to fill the shoes of Ron
McCants -
Marist's
second
leading
scorer
last year.
The sophomore political science
major has already set a career-high

I figured, "Cool, I love hockey,
this should"be great, both Team
USA and the Russians are playing
tonight."
I was wrong. It wasn't great. It
was one of the most annoying
things I've ever experienced while
trying to watch a televised event.
Call me impatient but I got real-
ly annoyed at the 55-minute inte·r-
mission between the first and se-
cond periods. Call me picky but I
got ticked off because the network
kept breaking away to live reports
of an empty Slalom course and a
58-mile drive to the sticks where
some party was going on.
I wasn't at that party. l didn't
care. I was
in
Poughkeepsie wan-
ting to watch some hockey.
And to really throw salt in the
wound, most of the times the net-
work brought us back to the game,
the announcer had a surprise for
us: "Oh we're back. And while we
were away looking at the incredi-
ble olympic pin collection put
together by Calgary farmer Rex
Greely, Team USA scored three
times. This is really quite some
game."
ABC used to be the leader in
sports coverage. I can remember
watching the opening credits for
ABC's "Wide World of Sports" as
a kid -
"The thrill of victory, and
the agony of defeat." Howard
Cosen joking with Muhammed
Ali.
Cosell with Frank Gifford and Don
Meredith on Monday Night
Football.
But
I
should have been tipped
off by the network's coverage of
the New York City marathon last
year. ABC showed the entire race,
then failed to show the winner
breaking the tape.
The marathon thing may have
been a fluke, l thought and this
network deserved another chance.
But come on, give me a break.
PBS could have covered that
hockey game better.
Your College Week in Bermuda is more than just sun, sand and surf.
Right from the first outrageous "College Bash" at Elbow Beach, it's a week of unrelenting
pleasure.
Spectacular
seaside buffet luncheons. A calypso and limbo festival like none other. Smashing dance-til-you-drop
beach parties,
featuring Bermuda's
top rock, steel and calypso bands. Even a "Party Cruise." All compliments
of the Bermuda

of
Tourism.
Bermuda is all of this - and much, much more.
It's touring the island on our breezy mopeds. (Do remember
to keep left!)
It's jogging on quiet country roads - including
an early morning
2-k "Fun Run" from Horseshoe Bay. It's exploring
the treasures
in our international
shops, playing golf on eight great courses, and tennis on over 100 island-wide courts.
But most of all, it's the feeling you get on a tiny, flower:-bedecked

The ones who were "busted"
were the cadets of the U.S. Mer-
chant Marine Academy at Kings
Point. They lost to the Marist
men's swimming and diving team,
115-99.

Entering the meet, Marist was
determined not to be denied a vic-
tory as a final tribute to its
graduating captain, Dave Barrett.
The victory, coupled with a
102-64 victory
over
SUNY
Maritime earlier in the week, ex-
tended the swimming Red Foxes'
win streak to five
-meets,
enabling
them to close out the regular season
just as the banner read - 7-3;
Marist had two incentives to per-
form well against the cadets of
Kings Point. First, they wanted to
send Barrett off on a winning note.
Second, they wanted to prepare for
the upcoming Metropolitan Col-
legiate Championships. These two
incentives were enough to prompt
18 personal records to be set.

place finish in the East division.
Marist placed 2nd overall, behind
winner Trenton State.
Freshman Lisa Burgbacher dove
her way into two first-place finishes
in the
1-
and 3-meter boards and
walked off with the most valuable
diver award. Burbacher scored
417.6 and 464.6 in 1-meier and
3-meter diving while setting new
school and meet records.
Junior Karen Oitzinger placed
first overall in the 200-yard
backstroke and set a new school
record of 2:20.91. Oitzinger took
a conference-first in the 100-back
with a school-record 1:05.41.
Freshman Chrissy Thum took
two conference-firsts in the 100-
and 200-yard freestyle while Jeanne
Cleary won the 50- and finished se-
cond behind Thum in the 100-free.
Karen Schreck was a triple-
winner in tlie conference with first-
place finishes and new school
records in the 200-and 40Q;yard in-
dividual Medley and in the
1650-free.
Personal-best times were swum

Cagers seek playoff berth
by David Blondin
The Marist College women's
basketball team knocked off
ECAC Metro foe Long Island
University 62-60 last Saturday
bringing them one step closer to
making
the
conference
tournament.
"We're sitting in good position,
it's there (a playoff spot) for our
taking," said Coach Ken Babineau
prior to the
LIU
game.
The win over LIU brought
Marist to 7-14 overall, and 4-8 in
the conference as the Lady. Red
Foxes look to grab the fifth or sixth
spot in the conference playoffs.
Marist was led by senior Sue
Blazejewski's
14
points, including
the winning field goal with 20
seconds to play.
•
Danielle Galarneau and Kim
Smith-Bey each had 10 points in
helping Marist to victory.
Marist's major concern going in-
to the game was UU's one-two
punch of Karlene Osborne and
Jeanette Saunders, who combined
for 43 points when Marist lost to
LIU earlier this season.
Marist needed to hold Osborne
and Saunders to less than 35 points,
sajd Babineau prior to the game.
Marist used a variety of defenses
to hold the two to a total of 27
points. Saunders, a center, fouled
out after scoring only nine points.
Another key factor was the in-
side game that saw the Lady Red
Foxes pull down 43 rebounds, in-
cluding 17 on offense.
Jacalyn O'Neil led Marist in re-
bounds with nine and Blazejewski
pulled down eight.
.._ The Lady Red Foxes are playing
their best basketball of the season,
and with the tournament nearing it
couldn't be at a better time, said
Babineau
"We are on a roll," said
Babineau. "We have a very
realistic chance of making the tour-
nament and· we're working very
hard to attain that goal."
Marist's.win over LIU was its se~
cond in a row against a conference
team. The Lady Red Foxes beat St.
Francis, N. Y. 75-69 earlier in the
week as five players scored in dou-
ble figures.
•
Babineau said that the turning
point in that game came when
Marist, down by six late in the se-
cond half, switched to a full-court
press.
Marist was led by Blazejewski
who had the best game of her col-
legiate career scoring 18 points,
pulling down· 10 rebounds, earning
five assists and geting three steals.
Marist got off to a shaky start,
turning the ball over three straight
times in the opening minutes of
play.
"We started in a 3-2 zone," said
Babineau. "We switched to man-
to-rnan to help get back into the
flow
of
the game." Marist closed
to wi1hin five at the end of the first
halL

Saturday, they must face the Hur-
ricanes of the University of Miami
tonight in Miami. TheHurricanes
edged Marist, 79-76 in overtime a
few weeks ago at Madison Square
Garden, after trailing by as many
as 13 points with less than 10
minutes remaining in regulation
time.
New heroes emerged for- both
teams as Miami's Joel Warren and
Marist's Rudy Bourgarel stole the
spotlight from stand-out centers
Tito Horford and Rik Smits.
Warren, who averaged 2.3 points
per game entering the contest,
scored 18 points including all four
3-point shots he tried. Bourgarel
scored a career-high 22 points as
both Smits and Horford played
below expectations

finishing with 19 points and Hor-
ford getting just 10.
The importance of Saturday's
game is nothing new to the ECAC
Metro Conference; Every Marist-
FDU game in February and March
has been important over the past
three years.
Three years ago, the Knights
~t M~t by one point in double-
overtime
to
earn a trip to the
NCAA Tournament.
Two
seasons
ago,
FDU
manhandled
a
shaky Marist team
to clinch the conference title at
Madison Square Garden. Two
weeks later, Marist defeated FDU
by one point in overtime to earn its
first-ever NCAA Tournament bid.
Last season, the Red Foxes
downed the Knights at Marist for
the conference title. A few weeks
later, again at McCann, Marist
beat FDU to earn their second-
straight NCAA Tournament bid.
Earlier this year, the Knights
overcame an early deficit to beat
the Red Foxes, 62-61. Marist had
opportunities to pull the game out,
and FDU had chances to put the
game out of reach. In the final
minute, the Knights· failed to con-
vert on the front-end of two one-
and-one opportunities, but Marist
was unable to capitalize.
The keys will be the same in both
games this week: the battle in the
paint, Marist's ability to handle a
press, and outside shooting.
The second meeting of Horford
and Smits should be a tough bat-
tle. FDU's big man, Damari Rid-
dick, a 6-8 senior, had 24 points
and 13 rebounds last Saturday
against St. Francis, N.Y., and is a
legitimate All-America candidate.
The other big match-ups will be
Marist against the presses of both
FDU and Miami. The Hurricanes
used a press in their comeback
against Marist earlier this month.
Outside shooting could spell
relief if the big men hit foul trou-
ble for both teams in either g~e.
Marist has been hot from the out-
side recently and both Miami and
FDU have respectable outside
shooters.
.
How big are these two games?
If Marist beats Miami, it would
be the first time the Red Foxes have
beaten a team of this quality at the
Division I level.
A
win over FDU
would give Marist a two-game lead
in the loss column with four games
remaining.
•
•
An FDU victory would tie the
two teams in the loss column, but
the Knights would be given first
place because they would have won
both head-to-head meetings.
Last Saturday, Smits led the Red
Foxes past Long Island University,
93-86. The 7-4 All-America can-
didate scored a career-high 41
points, falling just short of Marist's
single-game record of 43 points
scored by Daryl Powell against
Wagner College in the 1981-82
season.
Freshman Steve Paterno had a
strong game for Marist, scoririg 17
points. Drafton Davis also played
well, dishing out 13 assists.
