Magdeleria Sadowski, better
known as Marge, has been charm-
ing students at· the cafeteria for
four years. She joined the cafeteria
staff after retiring from the sewing
industry as a machine operator.
_Originally,
Marge said she took
the job as a part-time one but she
.
began to work full-time because:5he
enjoyed it so much:

_ _
.
"I'
tried it and I liked it so I
decided to siay full-time," said this
Poughkeepsie native.
Because she enjoys what she is
doing, Marge said· that she looks
forward to work everyday. "These
students are a very nice burich,"
she said. "I have no problems with
ariy of them. The students attitude-
toward me always makes my day."
"The students are all very con-
siderate of me," said Marge.
"Some of the students even excuse
themselves for saying something
they think I might not like."
Aside from checking student JD
numbers, Marge is also involved in
maintence of the cafeteria. After
work on Fridays, Marge can be
found playing bingo at Holy Trini-
ty Catholic church.
Marge, who was selected as
employee
of the month
in
December, was described as a
"super worker" by her boss, Phil
Mason, the director of dining
services.

•
To be chosen for employee of
the month, the person must be in
uniform, be on time, have a
positive attitude and be able
to
work with other employees as a
team, according to Mason.
"Marge is doing great. Her per-
sonaHty is easy to adapt-to and she
always presents herself well,"
Mason said. "Marge sets the tone
for the students meal by her outgo-
ing personality. If Marge is grum-
py the students meal won't be as
delightful as if she was smiling
pleasantly when she greeted them."
When a problem arises or she
hears students discussing their feel-
ings, Marge doesn't hesitate to
speak about it, according to
Mason.

The smaller classes of the 1960's

Gasparovich attributes this
fo
the
age of the members and the smaller

Goodbye Charades. Move over

Quarters. There's a new game on
campus that's drawing attention
nationwide.
The name of the game is Pic-
tionary and it's becoming a popular
form of late-night entertainment
for Marist students.
Once a gathering place for Marist students, Rockwell's bar, now closed, may have a new
look thanks to its new owner.

The game is much like Charades
only the words are portrayed on
paper, not acted out. The game
board, like Trivial Pursuit, has
squares of different colors which
correspond with categories. Depen-
ding on the color of the square a
player lands on, the team draws
words from these catagories which
include: people, objects, places and
actions.

The building on the corner of
Delafield and Spruce streets is quiet
on weekends now .• Windows are
boarded up, spray paint adorns the
walls and the sea of garbage filling
the foyer is almost two feet high.
Three years ago, however, neon
lights flashed in the windows and
the foyer was filled with people
waiting to get into Rockwell's
Tavern.
Fined for noise, disruptive
behavior and serving alcohol to
minors in the fall of 1985, the bar
was closed before the summer of
1986. Most freshmen have never
heard of it. But as graduation ap-
proaches, many seniors can recall
the legend that was Rockwell's;
"lt
was like· a trek there, a
marathon,"
said Jim Huber of
Clifton, N.J. "There was always
about 20· people walking there at
anytime. Even if it was freezing out
it didn't matter."
"We used to get there early and
enjoy it," said Scott O'Leary of
Oakdale,
N.Y.,"A
seat at the bar
was very valuable. The drinks were
dirt cheap there."
But Huber added: "They never
.
tasted the same twice."
Rockwell's was unique because
.it
combined the "hang-out" at-
mosphere of Skinner's with a dance
floor and a pool table, Huber said.
"It
was worth the money you
spent because you used to get buy
backs -
even when it was crowd-
ed," O'Leary said.
"You never get that anymore, no
matter where you go," said Joe
Tucci of Kingston, N.Y.
"They were polite there," said
Chuck Kelly of Norwalk, Conn.
"The disc jockey would play
anything you want, you just had to
go up and ask him."
"Now at some places they get mad
if you just ask for a beer," Tucci
said.
Rockwell's had a reputation as
being a haven for underage people.
"It was easier for us to get into
Rockwell's than it is for underage
people to
•
get into Sidetracked
now," Kelly said, "but that's
because the drinking age is 21 now
rather than 19."
The bar stayed open after New
York state raised its legal drinking
age to 21, and a partition was built
separating the bar from the dance
floor.
"That was a joke, though,
because there was a fight there
every night and as soon
as
the fight
broke out everyone ran from the
dance floor into the bar," Huber
said.
"They started holding ID's
because people used to pass them
outside and you'd have 10 people
using the same proof," Huber said.
"You should have seen some of
-
tient. They also need to be prepared
for frustration and arguments-
and of course, fun.

Islip, N. Y ., used

Future is a question for old span
Railroad _bridge
awaits action
by Stacey McDonnell
Once hailed as a vital link bet-
ween New England and Penn-
sylvania,
the Poughkeepsie
Railroad Bridge lays desolate
and on the brink of destruction.
The 6,767-foot structure, that.
spans to Highland across the
Hudson River, was sold to a
private owner in 1984 for the
sum of one dollar.
Built in· 1889, the bridge serv-
ed as the major railway for the
industries of New England and
the coal mines of Pennsvlvania.
·
President Franklin Roosevelt
•
crossed the bridge to commute
from his Hyde Park home to the
-
White House.
.
•
The structure, included in the
•
National Register of Historic
-Places,
·was
considered an ar-
chitectural wonder.
,
•
The bridge was almost entire-
ly destroyed by a fire in 1974
which twisted its rails and burn-
ed its tie's.
In
1983, the
City
of
Poughkeepsie forced Conrail,
the bridge's owner, to clear off
debris from the bridge after a
loose tie fell on a passing car.
Conrail lost its only source of
income from the bridge when
the Central Hudson Electric and
Gas Company removed their
power lines from the bridge and
ran
them
under
water.
Previously, Central Hudson had
been paying $10 thousand a
month for rent.
The Poughkeepsie train bridge, which was an early-link between New England and western.
New York, now has a future that is in doubt.
(Photo by Alan Tener)
New hope came if_) 1984 as
Conrail announced that it had
sold the structure· to Gordon
Schreiber Miller of St. Davids,
Pa.
.
.
.
.
The Committee to Save the
Bridge saw this acquisition as a
chance to restore the historical
structure.
The new owne·r, however, did
not give any indication of what
he had planned for the bridge's
future.
Miller could not be contacted
by
•
reporters who wanted to
know why he bought the bridge.
The Federal Government had
no record of Miller's company,
Railway
Management
Associates. or any address for
the owner.
It
was later discovered that
the United States Coast Guard
was looking for Miller because
he owed tl)ousands of dollars in
fines.
Many suggestions have been
made as to what to do with the
landmark.
Although many would like to
see the bridge restored to its
original state, the cost, nearly
$60 million, has made this
dream impossible.
Some feel the bridge can be
transformed into a highway to
relieve the rush hour traffic on
the Mid-Hudson Bridge.
One of the most outrageous
plans for the bridge was
developed
by Donald
L.
Pevsner of Miami, Fla. The
lawyer tried to acquire the
bridge,
but couldn't
find
backers to buy into his idea.
Pevsner wanted to build
hotels, restaurants and shops in
the structure of the bridge and
have elevators.
bring
the
customers from boats and a
railway shuttle above to bring
visitors from the top.
None of these ideas seemed
feasible. As a result, the bridge
still stands without hope.
According to a member of
the Poughkeepsie
Planning
Board, one of the reasons the
structure is still intact is because
of the high insurance premiums
that would be charged when
removing the structure.
People are still fighting to
save the bridge, but most of the
people arc praying for an act of
God to permanently remove the
212-foot-high troublemaker.
Perhaps the ease of the game and
its appeal to a wide age range have
added to its popularity. The game
is expected to sell
JO
million units
this year at $30 a game, according
to Tom McGuire of the Games
Gang, which markets Pictionary
and its children's version, Pic-
tionary Junior.
"It's frustrating at times but it's
so
funny to
see
what people draw
and to hear their guesses," said
Riordan.
Sentochnik recalled a game where
he needed to draw the word
"galaxy."
"I drew a Milky Way bar figur-
ing people would figure out the
candy bar and then guess the name
of the galaxy," he said. "No one
got it though-
they kept guessing
Almond Joy and other candy bar
names."
According to Dolli Osborn, a
computer science major from
Milford, Conn., if the game is
played regularly, players can
set
up
certain symbols to make the game
easier and take away some of the
frustration involved.
Osborn,
a
senior, who played the
game a few times a week last
semester, also played the game at
home with her family after they
received ir for Christmas.
"It's a lot like Trivia Pursuit
when ii was a new game, everyone
played it," she said. "We still like
lo play it, but we have to be in in
r
he right mood."
.

Syracuse U ....
has a home
inside Marist
by Ilse Martin
You don't have to go all the way
to Syracuse, N.Y. to find Syracuse
University. Just take a walk across
Route 9 to Marist East.
A variety of courses are offered
to
engineers
and
scientists
employed in the Poughkeepsie area
through the Syracuse Graduate
Center, locared in room 257 of
Marist East.
According·
to Jose Perini,
academic
chairman
for
the
Poughkeepsie Center and professor
of
electrical
and
computer
engineering
at Syracuse,
the
University began this program
about 30 years ago mainly because
companies like IBM wanted their
employees to obtain advanced
degrees.
The center, one of three in New
York, offers a masters program in
electrical engineering, computer
engineering, and computer science.
The two other centers are located
in Endicott and Rome,
N.Y.
"Usually the interest in the
center is sparked by the interest of
an industry," Perini said. "Our

Two from Marist win Fulbright scholarships
Calista to teach in Japan
by
Ilse Martin
Prestigious awards are hard to
come by But Donald J. Calista has
just received his third.
Calista, director of the master's
of public administration program
at Marist, will spend nine months
in Japan next year on a Fulbright
Fellowship, giving lectures and
holding seminars
at various
universities.
The focus of his program will be
the differences in Japanese and
American public policy making,
"particularly in the way in which
policy making in America is v~ry
decentralized," said Calista.
Calista has been to Japan on two
different fellowships. In 1972, the
Japanese government awarded ·him
a scholarship from the Japanese
Society for the Promotion of
Sciences. And in 1977, he received
one from the National Institute of
Mental Health.
Calista's application was review-
ed by two committees of American
scholars in Washington and two
commillees of Japanese scholars.
"It's a real pat on the back," he
said. "And also I think it's a com-
pliment to the college."

The Fulbright Fellowship was
established after World War II in
an attempt to send American
scholars to foreign countries, ac-
cording to Calista.
Calista's concern with public
policy making stems from the pro-
cess in America. "It's a much more
complicated process in America.
It's harder to pinpoint how the
policy-making decisions are made
in the United States," he said.
"Public policy making in Japan
is very centralized. It is written by
the bureaucrats and very high-level
analysts. They influence policy
making," he said.
Calista has been at Marist for 10
years and has had his research on
Japan and America published.
Calista is also concerned with the
effects of "post-materialism" on
society. "Post-materialism means
that, under the conditions of af-
fluence, society values will change
towards openness and less rigidi-
ty," he said.
One of the questions he intends
to explore next year is whether or
not post-materialism is affecting
Japan as much as it is affecting
Westerners.
•
"In the United States we are
witnessing a decrease in the interest
in political parties. Because of post-
materialism, the younger genera-
tion has a greater interest in issues
Don Calista
(Photo by Bob Davis)
and less interest in the (party) plat-
forms," he said.
Although Calista has not finaliz-
ed his plans for the trip, he expects
to go during spring semester
through to the fall of 1989.
Adjunct philosophy professor plans wor~ in Nigeria
by
Chris Landry
In 1983 John Seiler rented a
Volkswagen and traveled 4,000
miles across Africa. He stopped to
watch a soccer game and saw a
satisfying scene.
As he looked around he noticed
that the stands were integrated with
people from different ethnic and
racial backgrounds.
"The people were simply there to
see a -so~cer ,game;,~•
,Seiler said ..
"WheriTcafeaboiita countcy, it's
things like that that ·'-keep me
caring."
Seiler, an adjunct philosophy
professor
at Marist,
won a
Fulbright Fellowship and will soon
teach politics, philosophy and
business in Africa. He also hopes
to make a "modest contribution"
to solving the ethnic and racial
boundaries in Nigeria.
The William
J. Fulbright
scholarship, established in 1947, is
the U.S. government's interna-
tional education exchange pro-
gram. The scholarship is awarded
to students and teachers to study or
teach outside this country.
Librarian Kathryn Silberger,
Marist's only previous winner, won
it in 1985. Nationwide about 1,000
scholarships are given each year.
Seiler applied to the Council on
the International Exchange of
Scholars last September to teach in
Nigeria.·This organization sends a
list of candidates to the. different
countries in interest. Seiler expects
to know which university he will
teach at in about three months.
Seiler said he wouid be pleased
to teach at any university but he
would prefer·one with students of
ethnic diversity. Nigeria has a
population of 100 million, and at
least. six different languages are
spoken there.
The racial problems go back to
1960 when Seiler became interested
in Africa. Under the political
movement of Nationalism, various
countries
claimed
their
in-
dependence. Since then countries
such as Nigeria still have in-
dependence but are subject to the
white apartheid movement which
rules the south.
Seiler is no stranger to the
African situation. He taught at
Rhodes University in South Africa
in the 1970s and has contributed to
five books and several articles con-
cerning the controversial apartheid
government. He came to Marist
last Fall and currently teaches an
introductory ethics course.
Nigerian politics, the U.S.
presidential campaign and business
will be some of the areas Seiler will
teach. Yet, his main concern will be
to teach about South African
politics.
"Few Nigerians. have visited
South Africa or know what is go-
ing on there," Seiler said.
Beyond his job of teaching,
Seiler said he has a motivation to
help people with different racial
backgrounds
understand
each
other's situation.
He compares himself to people
with liberal attitudes such as pop
singer Paul Simon.
"lam painfully aware that racial·
problems still exist," Seiler said. "I
don't believe in defining people by
race and I think it's important for
whites to understand ·blacks and
vice versa.".
Seiler said he realizes that his
peaceful attitudes are somewhat
unrealistic.
However, he will still try to work
in diverse ethnic situations where
he
can
express his ideas of openness
to others.
"I
have enough faith
in my
values
even if they aren't
working."

"When we started, the office
was really an IBM thing. They fur-
nisheJ the office and it was located
near the Homestead (a facility) at
IBM,"
said Perini.
Students not employed by IBM
became interested in the program,
according to Perini. "But it was
not fair that they use IBM facilities.
We decided that the best thing for
our students was to hold our facili-
ty outside the IBM premises," he
said
The professors who teach in the
Poughkeepsie branch are the same
people who teach in Syracuse. They
commute to Poughkeepsie twice a
week by charter flight, train or car,
for at the most, four classes per
day.
This semester, the center offers
14 courses, but can provide as
many as 22. "The only difference
between the office here and the of-
fice at Syracuse is that students
here are part-time with one course
a semester that meets once a week
for three hours," said Perini.
If someone joins IBM with a
bachelor's degree in electrical
engineering, Perini said over a
period of three to five years, he or
she can obtain a masters degree.
Perini, who came to work for
Syracuse in 1%2, said, "My func-
tion here is to take care of all the
academic details: What courses are
to be taught, interviewing students,
and the operation of the center."

The roots go deep
for African pair
by
Stacey McDonnell
, For many the transition from high school to col-
lege is very challenging, however the transition to a
college in· another country is even more traumatic.
While this is true, the change for senior Kudzai
Kambararmi and junior Harold Muvuti was easier
because they had one another.
Both of these computer science majors hail from
Harare, Zimbabwe. They were neighbors in their
na1ive land and now 1hey are roommates while they
are away from home - more than 7,700 miles away.
As slrange as it may seem, there is a Kambarami
tradition at Marist. Kambararmi came to Marist
because his brother was a student here and now his
sister is a freshman.
At first, Muvuti came

A touch of Greece at Marist
by
Ellen Ballou
There is a freshman on campus
who enjoys being in the United
States and being able to go to col-
lege here.
•
That may sound strange to most
Marist students but it is fitting for
Dimosthenis Baroutsos - a native
of Greece.
"I think it's a great country,"
said Baroutsos, who is known to
many as Dimos. "You are free to
do and choose whatever you like
and your country provides the use
of so many things. You have so
many advantages."
Baroutsos has been to many dif-
ferent
countries
such
as
Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France,
England, and Germany, as weJl_as
many states including an extensive
tour of California. When he is not
travelling the globe, he lives in a
villa which he describes as a pen-
thou'se apanment,
ten minutes
from the center of Athens.
"England is for me, let's s~y a
second home, because my sister
was staying there while going to
King's College and l spent much
time there in the summer for a cou-
ple of years," said Baroutsos.
Although he said he considers
England his second home, Barout-
sos admits that the United States is
still his favorite of countries.
Dimos said he knew in high school
that he wanted to go to school
abroad, either in England or the
United States.
"I applied to New York Univer-
sity but my advisor said it was go-
ing to
be
very difficult for me
because it was a very tough school
and a big school," said Baroutsos.
"So he said, the first year you
should go to a school like Marist,
it's a good school, but small. Then
you can transfer to a better school
but you will adjust easier in a
smaller school."
And adjusling is just what he has
been doing. He says Americans are
different
from Europeans or
Greeks in the way that 1hey 1alk,
dress and behave.
Dimos said he understands
English very well and admits that
he only has trouble with reading
and writing it. In high school ne
came to the U.S. as an exchange
student in. order
to
learn English
better.
He has made many friends here,
and even visits a few Greek friends
in New York City, who are also at-
tending college. They are also ex-
change students and Baroutsos said
that their families know each other
back in Greece.
While Baroutsos sometimes gets
to see his friends from home, he
has also made many friends at
Marist.
"I met Dimos in Algebra class
last
semester,'•
said
Greg
Raudelunas, a sophomore from
Plainfield, N.J. "He gave me a
funny look and we started to talk
and became good friends."
''I spent Christmas in New
Jersey with Greg's family because
I wan1ed 10 see a traditional
Christmas," said Baroutsos.
"My mother kind of adop1ed

Raudelunas. "We are kind of like
his second family. He was really
surprised at how many gift there
were and so many for him." He
went on to-say that this summer he
will be visiting Dimos in Greece.
Dimos is a business major and
wants to get his masters from a
prestigious college, He would like
to own his own business but isn't
sure where. He says it is definitely
more competitive in the U.S.

Waldheim's past has been ques-
tioned time and time again.
Recently, six historians· in-
vestigated his involvement. The
·government-commissioned_
panel discovered that Waldheim
knew-about the plans to deport
some 60,000 Greek Jews to Nazi
concentration camps, among
other war crimes:
•
The fact that he knew of
crimes committed
against
humanity
is
clear,
but
Waldheim says that he was on-
ly following orders. Is that true?
Doubtfully.
Why
didn't
Waldheim evade the army?
Escape
the country?
Do
anything? The answer
.is
quite
obvious; he chose to stay
·and
support genocide.
.
_
His assertion that he did not
know the fate that awaited the
Jews is unbelievable. Waldheim
was an intelligence officer, who
asssisted in the connection with
illegal
.
actions and thereby
fascilitated their execution."
A
brief
.
excerpt from . the
·
panel's
.report
says: "In West
•
Bosnia, Waldheim knew about.
•
the practice of deporting Italian
prisoners
to Germany ... In
.
general, a certain degree of guilt
can be incurred from the mere
knowledge of human
·
rights
violations at one's post, if the
person in question - out of lack
.
of courage - violated his human
duty to intervene ... He was
much more than just a second
rank desk officer'."
Waldheim said, "Knowledge
is not a crime." It's not? Then
take, for instance, that you
knew of a murder that was go-
ing to be committed and you did
nothing to stop it. Doesn't the
mere knowledge of the murder
and the fact that you did not
prevent it, make you guilty? It
most certainly does. In our
judicial system, this is a serious ..
punishable offense.
Waldheim tried to keep his
military past a secret: When the
truth was discovered, he quick-
ly tried to make it seem clean
and innocent. If Waldheim had
.
a clear conscience, why would
he go through such efforts to
conceal his military record? The
fact that he tried so hard to
cover his tracks implicates him.
Austrian Chancellor Franz
Vranitzsky has said he will
resign in the near future if the
furor over Waldheim's past
continues to hinder the govern-
ment's ability to effe~tively deal
with it's problems.
It is obvious that the majori-
ty of Austrians want Waldheim
to step down. He should resign
and let a competent official
replace him, so Austria can
finally have a chance to put this
shameful( excuse of a -president
•·
behind them.
Kurt Waldheim was a man
who
-stood
by and watched
brutal war
·crimes
being com-
mitted, lied about his involve-
.
mem and then.brµshed.it
off
by
saying that he only wanted to
survive. Now, 43 years later, he
is the president of a country in-
vaded by Germany in World
War II. My question is: What
next?

I'm pretty sharp about some
things, usually things having no
social, cultural or redeeming value.
For instance, though I have no
calendar, I know Spring Break is
in two weeks.
Heck, I guess I'm downright
psychic.
Several external factors con-
tribute to this odd keenness of in-
sight I possess.
Today I noticed four overweight,
out of shape chain smoking Marist
girls jogging past my Townhouse.
They chanted "rice and fruit, rice
and fruit."
They exercise and eat rice and
fruit because they don't want un-
sightly fat and mass to stick, hang
or gyrate out of their $74
Poughkeepsie
Galleria-bought
swimwear.
•
Two weeks of rice and fruit will
not cancel out six months or cheap
beer and pizza.
Keenness of insight tells me the
four overweight, out of shape chain
smokirig Marist girls will pay $50
for 12 visits to a local tanning salon
prior to Spring Break.
A tanning salon is where Marist
students go and pay many dollars
to have ultraviolet, cancer-causing,
gamma radiation
bombarded
against their skin.
This is to prepare them for a
cheap
leisure
suit
whole week of radiation bombard-
ment in Florida.
Wonderkind that
I
am,
I
also
know where Spring Break is.
I
overheard two students careful-
ly weighing the benefits and
drawbacks of certain destinations.
"Daytona."
"No, Lauderdale."
"Dude, Day-ton-a!"
"No Dude! Lauderdale."
As they duded and Dayton-ed I
thought: Taste great-Less filling,
then
I
thought, Golly, these dudes
are articulate.
The dudes
.
had new sunglasses
on. Someone told me (this is true)
sunglasses would be the hip thing
to wear on Spring Break.
Revelation of revelations, im-
agine people wearing sunglasses in
a warm and sunny climate?
Sunglasses are spectacles made
out or smoked glass. Marist peo-
ple wear them· as a shield against
the very same ultraviolet, cancer-
causing gamma rays they pay for
at tanning salons.
I know Spring Break is two
weeks away and not last week.
If spring break was last week
tacky people would wear white or
pastel shorts and miniskirts around
campus -
despite sub-freezing
temperatures. For the annoyingly
vain , a tan must be displayed to
anyone with eyes, regardless of ob-
vious health hazards.
Alcohol consumption increases
and decreases depending upon the
individual.
Some say they want to be in
"good drinking shape" when they
arrive in the Sunshine State.
"Good
drinking shape"
is
synonymous with high alcohol
tolerance. People who
want
to
drink as many 25-cent beers as they
can gel in "good drinking shape".
Others abstain. Others want
10
have low tolerance to alcohol so
they can spend very little money on
very little alcohol and get very
drunk. So drunk in fact, that they
might dance around half naked on
a stage in front of hundred of
viewers who try to pour bee•
them.
Male and female strippers an ..
prostitutes often gel paid for this.
Some people probably even go to
jail for this.
The people who go on Spring
Break don't worry about these
things before the fact. They only
worry
about
fatness, tanning and
beer tolerance.

always right. I am saying neither
office should be criticized when no
one tries to understand and work
to change these problems. The next
time you have a problem with
Maintenance or Housing, find out
why the problem occurred and find
out what you can do to change it.
Miss Falcinelli's article is not the
answer.
Dennis
W
Creagh
To the Editor:
Referring to the "Men In Beige"
article, please be informed that the
maintenance personnel that were
observed in the coffee shop were on
their normal coffee break, a break
that is in their union contract, and
to which the college must adhere.
It must, however, be pointed out
.that most of these people in beige
that are observed at 10 a.m. and
2:30 p.m. having coffee, have been
on duty since 7 a.m., removing gar-
bage, cleaning areas of the dorms,
vacuuming the rugs in the public
areas, waxing the floors in the cor-
ridors and classrooms and cleaning
the bathrooms. Therefore, they
have earned a relief period.
With reference to the campus
blackout article in the Feb. 25 issue
of The Circle, I would like to
clarify my comment of "We were
ready to pitch tents out there."
I
was referrine to the maintenance
personnel cci'ntinuing to work on
the correction of the power outage
problem until it's completion and
not referring to the housing situa-
!ion of the students.
Anthony
Taranlino
Director of Physical Plant
Health Services
To the Editor:
I would like to clarify some of
the falsehoods and misconceptions
that appeared in the Feb. 18 and 25
issues of The Circle.
Gynecological care and counsel-
ing has not been available for only
two years as stated in both the ar-
ticle and the letter. These services
have been available since the crea-
tion of Health Services. The addi-
tion of a gynecological clinic was
made available
through
the
Marist/St. Francis Health Plan
agreement.
Ann Bollmann, the nurse prac-
titioner and physician's assistant
who services this clinic, is employed
through St. Francis Hospital as a
provision of this health plan agree-
ment. The purpose for the creation
of this clinic was to benefit students
by providing for their health care
needs in a relaxed, comfortable and
familiar environment. Appoint-
ments are made on a first-come
basis.
Ms. Bollmann is available one
evening per week for only two
hours. Students not able to be ser-
viced through this clinic are
evaluated through Health ~ervices
and then referred, if necessary, to
either St. Francis Hospital or
another agency, depending on the
nature of the problem. This in-
cludes both male and female
students.
It
is not possible or necessary to
list every service provided by
Health Services in the Student
Handbook. Nowhere in the hand-
book does it specifically ·state that
a student with a cold or sore throat
can come to Health Services, but
students are intelligent enough to
know where to go to seek help.
This present school year, so far
154
student appointinents have
been made for the gynecological
clinic. How did these students-get
wind of this so called
"cover-up?"
So, Mr. McAllister, Health Ser-
vices is there for you if you have
a problem.
Jane O'Brien, R.N.
Director of
Health
Services
To lhe Edilor:
This is in
-respqnse
to
a letter
which appeared
.
in the Feb. 25
issue. Through his letter, Michael
McAllister has done Health Ser-
vices a great injustice. Although it
is true Health Services has not
advertised Ann Hollmann 's work
on a billboard, word h_as
spread. If
you do not believe me, check out
the waiting room Tuesday even-
ings! McAllister makes it sound as
if Nurse Bollmann holds a cloak
and dagger operation.
It is widely known throughout
campus that Health Services does
more·than treat colds (and has for
yeal's). Being a spring semester
trans fer
student,
perhaps
McAllister has not realized this
fact.
McAllister
also made
reference to the- Student Hand-
•
book. He
says
that there is no men-
tion of the gynecological care
Health Services orovides. If
vou
read ii again, Mr. McAllister, you
would also see there is no mention
of other health care provided. In
short, there is no room to
list
all
serv.ices rendered.
Health Services was
created
to
provide medical care for all
students, male or female. If you
have
any
questions regarding what
services are available, call ext. 270.
Don't stay in the dark; it's your
life.

To the Editor:
This is the uneducated frighten-
ed girl responding
to Midge
Schratz's letter that appeared in the
Circle last week,
I am glad she is so sympathetic
and ashamed of us Marist students
who
do
not
know
about
psychology. I feel I owe her and her
fellow "educated people" to in-
form them of all of the incidents
that have occurred in the dorms
and townhouses. People have been
molested,
have
found
area
residents under their beds and have
had streakers appear at their win-
dows. The molester was allowed in
the dorm by the entry officer
because he "appeared
to be
harmless."
Marist
isn't
the
sheltered community that you may
think it is or that it is made out to
be.
I guess I should have shown him
some compassion and invited him
to share the rice that I was eating.
Maybe I should have offered him
a towel and told him to take a bath.
You bet your life I was frightened!
What if he wasn't harmless and
had a knife in his pocket. If I were
a
psychology major instead or an
accounting major, I would have
realized right away that he was
harmless. I guess if he did assault
me it would have been just
"another tragic example" of how
people are so naive and willing to
trust strangers.
i
did not use the term "maniac"
bec~use I thought that he was from
the Psychiatric Center. To tell you
the truth, I thought he was a local
who had too much to drink. I
didn't stop to consider whether the
term maniac was warranted or not.
Thank God it wasn't. If someone
"simply opened your unlocked
front door" would you welcome
them in?
If you want something to com-
plain about, I think you should go
to the psychiatric center and com-
plain about the way it treats its pa-
tients.
Maybe
the
negative
stereotypes come from the way the
patients look. The innocent man
that came in my townhouse wore
dirty clothes, smelled awaful and
hadn't had his hair combed in at
least a week.
,.,.
I agree with you that he and his
family are innocent victims of
negative stereotypes, but these
stereotypes are a direct result of the
neglect on the part
of the
"educated people" who are en-
trusted to care for these patients at
the psychiatric center.

Marist junior is first in comedy contest

Marist junior David Karchmer
capture~ first place in "The Fun-
niest Person on Campus"
.contest
which was held last Friday night at
Bananas Comedy Club.
Karcher and freshman Stan
Phelps qualified for the contest by
winning the preliminary competi-
tion which was held two weeks ago
at Marist.
These students along with four
others from Vassar, the Culinary
Institute of America and SUNY
New Paltz, had three minutes each
to do their act and try to stand out
from the others.
But trying to be funny in front
of 200 people who have just seen
three professional comedians at
Bananas, is nerve-racking.
"I'm a little nervous," said
David Karchmer, a 20-year-old
Marist junior from Poughkeepsie.
"It
doesn't hit you until you're up
there," he said before the show.
Stan Phelps, an 18-year-old
freshman from Shelton, Conn.,
agreed. "I'm a little nervous, but
that's good. You stay on the edge."
Phelps said the competition was
tough· and considered it an ac-
complishment just qualifying to
compete at Bananas. "I'm glad I
got this far, it's my one shot at the
big-time. I'm excited. You don't
get to do this everyday."
However, Bananas is not the on-
ly place Phelps performed. He
opened for Paul Strowe, a guitarist
who played in the River Room on
Feb. 18.
. "When I opened for Paul
Strowe,
·1
got a little more liberal,
not dirty but racy," said Phelps.
But Bananas had already warned
the contestants to keep their acts
clean.
Karchmer, who wrote all· new
material for the show, was reward-
ed for his efforts by the $100 he
received for winning first place.
"I'm surprised,'' said Karchmer
with a smile after the show.

"What kept me here though
was the quality of lffe you ex-

Poughkeepsie," he said.
Most people who live in New
York City vic,v Poughkeepsie as
a place out in the i:ountry. Once
in Poughkeepsie for a while
though, city dwellers find that
1here is a friendly type of
humanism and
a
kind of "'bes!

is offered in Poughkeepsie.

population of about

peo-
ple, is localed about an hour

City.

Manhallan.
said
that 1he thing
he liked
the most about
Poughkeepsie was the friendly
type of communi1y life.
"There's
a humanism here
that you just don't get in the
fast pace life of New York Ci-
ty," Porcelli
said.
"You're not
just a m1mbcr, you don't feel
alone.''
Mi.ke

from
Staten

N.Y .,
agrees·that Poughkeepsie
dqes

offer
a,\<ind of
personable at-
',;_

rnosphere that is not found in
the city.
"People in Poughkeepsie are
a lot more friendly than the peo-
ple at home. No one has an ar-
tilude, they're
a
101 more easy-
going." Cornelle said.
Ano1her
aspecr
of
Poughkeepsie that New York
Ciry residents have come
to
ap-
preciate
is
the kind of "best of
both worlds .. opportunity that
Poughkeepsie offers·.
Because
of
Poughkeepsie's
location in the Hudson Valley
and the fact that it is onlv an
hour and a half awav from the
city,
a pc:rson iiving
in
Poughkeepsie can enjoy the
outdoors and still be able to get
to the
city
wirhout a problem.
Aw'iony Cernera, who mov-
ed 10 Poughkeepsie from the
Bronx five years ago, said he
loves
the
location
of
Poughkeepsie.
"Poughkeepsie
is a great
place to live. We (Cerncra, his
wife and two sons) enjoy the
outdoor fife wi1h the Catskills
and the Hudson, and we're still
close enough to the city for· me
to visit my family every Sun-
day," said Cernera, vice presi-
dent for college advancement at
Marist.
Porcelli agrees that the loca-
_tion
of Poughkeepsie is an
advantage.
"Poughkeepsie doesn't offer
cultural things that New York
City does, but because it's so
close to the city I can go in for
those things and come back to
what I consider a home,"
:-orcelli said.
To a person in the city,
Poughkeepsie can sometimes
seem like a land far away.
Cernera said that one time
when his 8-year-old niece came
to.visit from the city she asked
her uncle if Poughkeepsie was
in a different time zone.

Along with senioritis, the second
semester of senior year brings
another ailment I'll call resumeitis.
To acquire ones rightful place in
lhe "rl!al world''. one has to put
together a one-page summary of
any important accomplishmen1s
thar ll'ill impress a potential
employer.
The resume process requires
students to reflect upon 1hcir col-
lege career. considering its merits
and listing all activities, relevant
classes and clubs they have par-
,
ticipated in, in hopes of presenting
themselves as well-rounded and
well-prepared individuals.
An integral part of 1he resume
experience, to use a David Letter-
man phrase,
is the writer's
embellishment.
The writer's
embellishment allows a part-time

March 3, 1988- THE CIRCLE- Page 9
Special fall course to focus on the
'60s
by Mary Strick_er
It was a time of bitter violence, •
racial strife and emotional uproar.
The Cuban Missile Crisis, the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and
the • Kennedy assassinations, the
Vietnam War, street riots, the hip-
pie culture and Neil Armstrong's
landing on the moon all mark the
tumultuous decade of the '60s.
The '60s scene -
so readily
displayed through films such as
"Easy
Rider,"
"The
Graduate, "and
"Apocalypse
Now,"; literary works of James
Baldwin, Abbie Hoffman and
Gloria Steinem; the Beatles and the
Doors; the production of "Hair"
and Martin Luther King Jr.'s elo-
quent
"I
had a dream" speech -
give today's generation a good look
at what was happening in the '60s
but for those who are still in the
dark, Marist is offering students
another chance to see the light.
A four credit coui:se titled "The
'60s," designated for history, com-
munication
arts
and
inter-
disciplinary studies majors, will be
offered this fall and will be taught
by not oite but three Marist
professors.
The class will meet for two dou-
ble sessions a week and English
professor Donald Anderson said,
"We will all be there all the time.''
The other two professors are com-
munication arts professor Richard
Platt and Vincent Toscano, pro-
fessor of history.
This is the first time that three
professors have "team taught" at
once but each of "The '60s" pro-
fessors do have experience teaching
in pairs.
"I
love doing
it,"
said Platt.
"To work with your colleagues is
the most exciting thing."
Anderson, who was vulnerable
to the draft lottery during the Viet-
nam War, is somewhat younger
than Toscano and Platt allowing
students to gain different perspec-
tives on· the era.
"It's an opportunity for the
generations to talk to each other,"
said Anderson. "We have a lot to
share."
Possible materials for the course
include the novels "One Flew Over
the
Cuckoo's
Nest,"
"Autobiography of Malcolm
X,"
works by Jack Kerouac or Gloria
Steinem and films such as "Easy
Rider," "Putney Swope" and
"The Graduate."
Although each professor has his
distinct expertise, they will work
together in making and grading ex-
ams and papers.
"It
makes us more careful
graders," said Anderson. "For-
tunately we all like each other."
The class is limited
to
50
students, with 20 openings for
communication arts majors and 15
openings for history and inter-
,, Mom says the

disciplinary studies majors but
because there are few students ma-
joring in the latter two fields, other
students should not have a problem
enrolling in the class, according to
Platt.
Just because your Mom
is far awav, doesn't mean
vou can't be close. You can
still share the love and
laughter on AT&T

Although the old M remains,
it has gone through many
changes since the class of 1970
put it there.
•
"We got sick of looking at
the same old 70 for three
years," said Joe Finnerty, a
member of the class of 1983, the
first class to repaint the M and
add their class year.
They borrowed a telephone
repairman's belt, bought their
own paint and brushes and at 4
a.m., headed over to start
painting.
Finnerty, a Queens resident,
said the five men involved
planned ahead and did a ~ry run
days before.
In case someone fell, they had
plans to light a flare as a cue to
a security guard they had wat-
ching
to
call for help.
People from the Townhouses
were also watching but they
couldn't actually see the people
painting. They
just
saw the
number slowly appear, Finner-
ty
said.

scaled·the cliff on the Hudson River to leave their mark on the
Marist M.

"Everyone got up one morn-
ing and there was an 83 on it,"
said Finnerty.
Finnerty said they didn't have
any prQblems painting it, but
they. did. get a little nervous
when a train went by. "The
conductor just gave us a toot
and a wave."
Since that time the word
"crew" has been painted down
the side of the M and the 70 and
the 83 have been painted over in
gray paint, with new class years
appearing.
That bothers Finnerty. "We
even thought of going up there
and painting
83 up there
again."

are pioneers in new service program
by
Helen Gardner
Twelve Marist students are
volunteering in the Poughkeepsie
school district this semester in
return for tuition credits, as part of
the Community Service Program
that began this semester.
The program, according to Pro-
ject Coordinator Phillip Koshkin-
Youritzin, not only addresses the
rising cost of tuition but is also
desi;ned
to heighten student
awa1:-cness
of community needs and
the use of their skills to help others.
Both the students and the school
db1rict are satisfied with the pro-
gram's progress in its first month,
according to Deborah Bell, assis-
tam dean of student affairs, who
is the project's director.
In order
to ensure
ideal
pla.:ements for both the student
and the district, a great deal of
groundwork was done by Kosh~in-
Youritzin, Mary Ellen Czerniak,
Marist's director of corporate and
foundation relations, and Karen
Markeloff, the district's director of
special projects..
.
After letters were sent to students
considered eligible for the 500
dollar grant by the Financial Aid
Office, applicants filled out an ap-
plications and took attitudinal
cescs. The J 2 were chosen from 25
applications by Koshkin-Youritzin
and then interviewed by.aboard of
adlJlinistrators representing the
district.
After
the
interview,
the
preferences, special skills ·and in-
cerests of-the students were fitted
to mini job descriptions acquired
by Markeloff from each school's
principal.
The students are working with
the district's public relations office
on a commercial and supervising a
weight-training
program
at
• Poughkeepsie High School.
Michelle Matolla, a freshman
from Ba)"!ihore,
N.Y.,
works six
hours a week with first graders at
Warring Elementary
School's
"Read
to
\Vrite" room.
Matolla, an accounting major, is
anticipating
working
in the pro-
gram next year, not only for the
financial assistance but for the ex-
perience she's gained from the
program.
"It's not only a good feeling
because l'm,hefping someone but
I'm also experiencing what is go-
ing on in the community I'm part
of, especially since I'm working in
an inner
city
school,"
said
Maiolla.
Czerniak and Koshkin-Youritzin
are already·
preparing
for next
year's candidates, whose number
will increase to 25. According .to
Koshkin-Youritzin, several area
human service agencies have been
contacted
to
get an idea of their
specific need and private, corporate
and philanthropic agencies have
been petitioned for financial sup-
port for the program.
Markeloff said the school district
is looking forward
to
a expanding
relationship with Marist and this
program.
"If
the caliber of young
people is comparable to the group
we've dealt with so far, we will
gladly accommodate as many
students
as possible, "she said.

Shelley Smith
Bob Lynch says the M painted
on a cliff across the river from
campus has special significance to
him.
•
"When I first came to Marist, l
remember seeing the M the day I
moved into Champagnat. I can
remember it," said Lynch; a 1975
graduate of Marist who is now the
assistant
director
of college
activities.
.
We've all seen it. Most of us
have probably even wondered
about it, but the class of '70 takes
the credit for
it.
"The M relates to crew more
than anything else," said Ron
Zurawick, the director of develop-
ment for the Boys Club of America
in White Plains and a member of
the class of 1970 who helped the M
become a reality.
"There were other letters of
other schools out on the river,"
said Zurawick, a Hopewell Junc-
tion resident, referring to how the
idea for. the M came about.
The purpose of the letter was to .
intimidate visiting crew teams.
"It
was tradition in crew races that
various teams would paint a large
school letter," said Pete Master-
son, owner of an insurance agency
in East Williston,
N.Y.,
and a
member of the class of 1970.
"Looking at the huge cliff, it
was really inviting," said Bill
McGarr, who also graduated in
1970.
• They started thinking about
painting the M and even got a copy
of the decal and put it on graph
paper to determine the dimensions,
said McGarr, who now works for
Canter-Fitzgerald in New York and
lives in Garden City.
Their goal was to finish the M
for the President's Cup Regatta
that year. The Wednesday- night
be.fcire, the ·race; they had. the.
outline done.

mark on. the columns,"
said
McGarr, and they knotted the
ropes to indicate where the points
in the letter were to be .. They even
borrowed a launch from crew to go
out on the river and see if it look-
ed right.
_
"We were pretty excited," said
McGarr. "Everyone on campus
was talking about it that night."
Although the Brother at Marist
didn't want to know any details
about it, they encouraged them in
subtle ways. "The Brothers knew
what was going on and they kind
of winked at you," said McGarr.
. The actual painting of the letter
was done by the smaller guys who
· hung off the side of the cliff by
ropes, sitting in. a harness design-
ed by Masterson. The bigger guys
were up on top holding the ropes
that were anchored to trees.
The ropes used were "borrow-
ed" from the old waterworks
building and • they were three to
four inches thick.
"I made my first big decision,"
said McGarr as he remembered
looking over the side of the cliff.
"Only the little guys are going off
the side."
Steve
Caiola
and
Donny
Magowski, members of the class of
1970, did most of the painting us-
ing railroad paint Magowski got
from a salvage yard.
"These guys scampered over the
side and loved it," said McGarr.
But after Magowski fell 40 feet,
he didn't love it as much.
McGarr was holding the rope
and thought it was secure enough
around a tree so it wouldn't slip,
but as he reached for a hamburger
someone handed him, he let go of
the rope and ,Magowski went slip-
.ping down the cliff. After that he
refused to go over the side again.
The M ·has become more than a
leuer painted on a cliff. As B~b
Lynch puts
it,
"It's part of our
heritage now, it's· part of the
college."

Smits closes
out career
at Marist
by Chris Barry
The most exciting chapter of
Marist
College basketball
history will come to an end
when Rik Smits removes his
familiar number 45 for the last
time after tonight's
game
against St. Francis, Pa.
Smits, along with fellow
seniors Drafton Davis and John
McDonough, will be honored
during the traditional "senior
night" ceremony just prior to
the· start of tonight's contest.
Many players have come and
gone in the last four years, all
having taken part in the shap-
ing of the Marist basketball pro-
gram: Miroslav Pecarski, the
1986 ECAC Metro Conference
Rookie-of-the- Year; Alain
Fores tier,
the
versatile
swingman from France; Peter
Krasovec, the sharpshooter
from -
Hungary;
Darryl
McClung,
Tim
Beckwith,
Carlton Wade, Mike Fielder,
Chris Green, the list goes-on.
But through it all, Smits, along
with Davis, has been the foun-
dation of Marist basketball.
Smits is having the best year
of his career._ Last week he was
named ECAC Metro Con-
ference Player-of-the-week for
the third week in a row and
the
fifth time this
season.
Last week he broke Steve
Smith's single-season scoring
record of 592 points. Jle now
has 623 points on the season.
Already having blocked the
most shots by any Marist player
in history, his five blocked shots
against Robert Morris give him
a total of 100 this year. Prior to •
the start of this season, only
nine Division One players in·
NCAA history have blocked
100 or more shots in a single
season.
"I'm excited, but also kind of
sad,"
Smhs
said
about
tonight's game. u1 can't wait
for the game to happen but at
the same time it marks the end
of my career at Marist."
He said his most-exciting mo-
ment playing at Marist was ear-
ning a trip to the
NCAA tour-
nament for ·the first time.
.
His biggest disappointments
were his suspension from the
first nine games last season and
the team's probation from post-
season play this year, he added.
"It's especially tough now,"
he said of the NCAA ruling
against the team. "We're used
to going to the playoffs."
Smits
said he - had • no
preference . as to which team
. picks him in the upcoming NBA
draft. "Where ever
I
go will be
fine," he said. ·He did say he'd
. like to play in the east so he can
come back to visit Marist. "But
I'm sure califomia would be
nice too,'.' he
added.
The loss of Smits and Davis
means • next year will be
a
rebuilding· year for the Red
Foxes.
• •
"They should be fine at'
center, they're trying to recruit
some big ·kids. They've got
Rudy and maybe Miro will
come back." he said.
"(think we've got the players
to step up," he said. "I think
they'll miss Drafton more than
they'll miss me."
.
**********.
Davis drove for a layup with
8:29 remaining after his three-
hundreth career steal, breaking
Bruce Johnson's record of 299.
That steal was his ninth of'the
game -
also a new Marist
record.
Men swimmers and divers
shine at conf erertce champs
by Chris Barr)'
The Marist College men's swim-
ming and diving team enjoyed its
best Metropolitan
Conference
Championship performance ever
last week, finishing third out of 18
teams at the U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy at Ki~gs Point, N.Y.
In the previous nine conference
championships, Marist's best finish
occurred last. year when the team
ended up fourth out of 18 teams.
The best performances by in-
dividual swimmers had been Vin-
ny Olivetto's fourth-place finish in
the 100-yard butterfly and the sixth
place finish of the 4 X 100 medley
relay team, both also last year.
Last week, that all changed.
In addition to the team's highest
finish ever, three swimmers or
. divers were crowned Metropolitan
Conference champions.
Scott
Tummins
won
the
SO-freestyle, Joe Bubel took the
100-butterfly and Paul Barrese cap-
tured both the one- and three-meter
diving titles in addition to being
named the outstanding diver of the
meet.
Entering the meet, Larry Van-
Wagner, head coach of the men's
swimming team, said he was hop-
ing for
l(JO
percent improvement in
all of his swimmers' performances.
Out of the 61 performances, 57
were lifetime P!!rsonal-best times,
he said.
The team had some goals of its
own. The first was to finish among
the top four teams. They did that.
The second team goal was to
match last year's team accomplish-
ment of breaking 10 of 18 school
records. They did that too.
Twelve of 20 school records fell
last week (Two records were add-
ed this year). The new recor-
dholders are: 200-medley relay -
• Mark LeVie, Brian
Charles;Bubel
and Tummins; 50-free -
Bubel;
200-free relay -
Bubel, Charles,
LeVie and Tummins; 100-butterfly
- Bubel; 100-backstroke - LeVie;
200-free - Tummins; 400-medley
relay - LeVie, Charles, Bubel and
Tummins; ·100-free -
Bubel;
200-back
Le Vie;
200-breaststroke - Bubel; 200-fly
-
Bubel; 400-free relay -
Bubel,
Kevin Hannaford,
LeVie and
Tummins.
The performances
of the
200-medley relay team the 400-free
relay team and Bubel in the 50-free
were all good enough for second-
place finishes.
VanWagner praised LeVie's
fifth-place
finish
in
the
100-backstroke. It was his first-ever
appearance in a final round.
Besides LeVie, the coach also
cited senior captain Dave Barrett
who was appearing in his final meet
for Marist. His fourth-place finish
in the 200-breaststroke marked his
first-ever appearance in a final
round as well.
"Dave had to shoulder a lot of
responsibility this year," Van-
Wagner said. "He deserves a lot of
credit for the entire team's perfor-
mance."
Barrett will be the only one leav-
iQg the team when he graduates this
May. And there are currently no
juniors on the team.
With three sophomores and 14
freshmen schedule to return next
year, VanWagner said he is op-
timistic about the future of his
team.
Van Wagner was named swimm-
ing Coach-of-the-Year and diving
coaches Melanie and Rick Bolstad
were named diving Coaches-of-the-
Year
at
the
conference
championships.

working on them for quite some
time. Bob Palermo, a senior from
Locust Valley,
N.Y.,
said,
"I
• started considering my resume my
sophomore year. It takes a lot of
tinkering to get it just right."
This thought scared me.,
Mike Nolan, a senior from Far-
mingdale, N.Y., said: "A resume
is a way to make a first impression
with a perspective employer. It has
to be just right. They look at
resumes all the time so yotirs real-
ly has to stand out. I've revised
mine almost fifty times."
Once a resume is perfected it still
has to go the printer to be typeset
and duplicated. "I've taken my
resume back twice already due to
mistakes in the typesetting,,. Paler-
mo said.
A resume is often the first at-
tempt to actively pursue a position
in the "real wor:ld," and for many
this holds
a
great deal of
possibilities. Others, like myself,
approach the idea of entering the

a

off as long as possible.
I

call:
"Hello·, is Dr. O'Brien home?,"
a very business-Ii.kc
voice inquires.
"Yes," I reluctantly answer.
"This is Eagle International, you

'Men's hoop squad
ends "season tonight
by Dan Pietrafesa
The men's basketball team
will try to match last year's
record of 18 regular season wins
when they host St.Francis, Pa ..
tonight at 7:30 p.m.
The Red Foxes, 17-9 overall
and 12-3 in the ECAC Metro
Conference, are coming off a
52-49 victory over the Robert
Morris Colonials
Tuesday
night.
"St. Francis will spread the
floor out," said Marist Head
Coach Dave Magarity. "They
will shoot the three pointer. and
we will have to go out and play
people."
Tonight is the final game for
Rik Smits and Drafton Davis,
both starters since the middle of
their freshman year. Smits will
enter the game as the school's
number two all-time scorer with
1,900 points while Davis is the
school's all-time assist and steal
leader.
The two will be honored dur-
ing "senior night'' ceremonies.
Also being honored are John
McDonough and manager Nick
Mancuso. Radio announcer
Bob Norman will also be call-
ing his last game.
Tuesday night, Roberc Mor-
ris had a chance to build a big
lead in the first half.
Smits picked
up
his second
foul
with 15:11 remaining and
the Colonials leading 11-4, but
Robert
Morris could not
capitalize.
Marist led by as many as
seven points in the second half
but Robert Morris battled back
to within one with only five
seconds remaining. But two
clutch foul shots by Rudy
Bourgarel with four ticks on the
clock iced the game for the Red
Foxes.
Smits led Marist with 19
points. Bourgarel grabbed 11 re-
bounds and added 11 points.

Malet hopes days ahead are like old days
by Joe Madden
Head Coach Mike Malet hopes
this
year's
lacrosse-team can·rcturn
!.Q
the more wide-open and team-
oriented style of play that the team
exhibited during the 1986 campaign
when it posted a 12-2 record.
Last year's
squad,
which posted
a 6-8 record, was a different team,
according
to
Malet. "We just never
got any rhythm going," he said.
Malet
attributed
last year's
change to three things: the loss of
nine seniors, an upgraded schedule,
and debilitating injuries.
"We dropped the three worst
teams from our
'86
schedule and
picked up three quality Division I
teams," Malet said.
"We
beat the
three teams we dropped by a com-
bined score of 73-3."
Malet, ho,vever, felt that his.
squad started to pick things up for
the last three games of t~e season,
all of which were wins. "We final-
• ly started to play up to our poten-
tial," Malet s~id.
Much of what_ happens this
season
will.rest upon the shoulders
of seniors Bob Cowie, Dan Arnold,
and John Cannon, as well as
juniors Tom Donnelan and Pete
Cleary, according to
Malet.
"I
expect big things from those
guys this year," Malet said. "If
we're going
to
be
successful
a lot's
going to depend upon them."
One thing that's a step in the
right direction for the Red Foxes is
the healthy return of
senior
captain
Cowie. Cowie
suffered
a knee in-
jury that crippled him during much
of last year's campaign.
·"Bob is our mainstay on defense
back there," Malet said. "We have
a pretty
good
'defensive corps with

John Cannon."

Peter

a senior at-
tackman from Yorktown Heights,
N.Y., felt many of last year's pro-

blems derived from a lack of
cohesiveness.
"We simply lacked team unity
last year," Oppenheim said. "This
year seerris
so
different. Everyone's
so much more enthusiastic."
Cowie agreed. "Jf we can keep
up our intensity level I do~•t see

conference championship. "

About 35 Marist students will be
thinking of these things when ~hey
are in Florida during Spring Break,
but not in the same context as the
average college student.
The men's and
women's
varsity
crews will probably be worrying
•
about how to stay cool in the warm
weather while spending most of the
day in their boats.
"We get up at 4:30 in the morn.-
ing," said senior Paul Dottinger,
captain of the men's team. "We·

Training on the Hudson has
many disadvantages because it is a
very wide river that is effected by
the tides and the weather, Davis
said. This causes Marist to miss an
average of 20 percent of their time
on the water, compared to other
teams that miss only about
5
per-
cent, he sai_d.

A proposarfor the creation of a
Division One baseball program will
~be submitted to Marist officials for
the third cci.nsecutive
spring, accor-
ding to Brian Collea~y, director of
athletics.
"At
this point 1 don't know that
it's a necessity to have baseball;"
Colleary said: "The school is do-
ing fine without it."
But Colleary added: "I'm an
athletic
•director.
I happen to like
intercollegiate baseball. That's why
I submit the proposals."
The proposal will be submitted
to Gerard Cox, vice president of
student affairs, Colleary said.
From there it will go to the presi-
dent's cabinet. Determinations for
funding are done on a priority
system, according to Colleary. •
Colleary said the proposed team
would have to start on the Division
One level due to the college's af-
filiation with the
NCAA.
"You don't start Division One
baseball overnight," said Collcary.
"You need a year
to
recruit and
play a modified schedule. The next
year you'd play 75 percent of
a
regular season, then in the third
season you'd
be a Division One
team."
The proposed team would play
in the ECAC Metro Conference,
which Colleary labelled a "good
baseball conference."
According to Colleary, the
school would have to make a few
financial and fiscal commitments.
The proposal would consist of a
"full package", consisting of an
operating budget of
$40,000,
a
salary budget of $15,000 and tui-
tion scholarships of some
$60,000.
Colleary proposed 10 tuition
scholars.hips over four years,
although he said that
•
could be
negotiable, in order to save money.
When asked if sufficient student
interest would be enough,of a driv-
ing force to coax the cabinet's ap-
proval, Colleary said he didn't
think so.
Colleary said there were two pro-
posed sites on campus for playing
fields: the intramural field by
McCann, and the north end fields
behind the Gartland Commons
Apartments
"We could move either one of
the backstops back, on the in-
tramural. field," Colleary said,
"and I think the north end fields
arc an ideal place to play."
..
There was also the po5sibility of
playing
at
an off-campus field, but
according to Collcary,
"Obvious-
ly you'd want
10
play on campus.
There is
a
great feeling when·
something
is going on, on
campus.''
ends season
with big win
b)' Ken Foye
The Marist College hockey
team finished its regular-season
last week with a victory over
Seton Hall University and four
Marist seniors ended their col-
legiate careers in grand
style.
They each scored at least one
goal.
Seniors Mike Med wig
•
and
Steve Metz scored two goals
each, and classmates
Ken
Marasco and Rick Race each
scored once, as the Red Foxes
smeared Seton Hall 16-2 at the
Mid-Hudson Civic Center. The
team closed its season with an
8-6-2 mark in the Metropolitan
Collegiate Hockey·conference.
The Red Foxes will play a
special postseason gaine against
a Marist alumni team.Saturday,
at 10 p.m. at the Mitl-Hudson
Civic Center. Alumni from as
far back
.as
1977 -
when the
Marist hockey club started play-
ing in a local men's league -
will assemble to take on the cur-
.
rent Marist icemen.
Against Seton Hall, the Red
Foxes pumped 38 shots on goal
in the-first period, scoring nine
times, and never looked back as
they beat the· visitors from New
Jersey for the second straight
week. Marist had defeated·
Seton Hall 13-3 in a home game
on the previous Saturday.night;
Steve Murray scored twice
and collected two assists, while
_Melz
scored a goal and assisted
on two others to help Marist
build a
9-2
lead at the end of the
first period. Murray completed
a hat trick by scoring another
goal in the second period. Scott
Kendall also scored three goals
for his second hat trick in as
many games.
Freshman defenseman Kevin
Walsh finished a strong rookie
season nicely, tallying five
assists.
Marist goalies Jim Stanton
and Rich Haag had a rather
boring night, facing a combin-
ed total or only nine
shots.
