In the-wake of four car break-
ins at the North end of campus,
Security is conducting occasional
stake-outs and patrolling that area
more frequently, said Joseph
Leary, director of safety and
security.
Four cars were broken into at the
Gartland Commons parking lot on
Tuesday, Oct. 4, around 1 a.m.
Stereos were reported missing from
two of the cars, according to the
Office of Safety and Security.
The Town of Poughkeepsie
Police are investigating these thefts,
but as of yet have not been able to
identify those responsible.

on Thursday, Oct. 27 at 7:30
p.m.
Admission to this installment
in the Cunneen-Hackett Lecture
series is free. The topic of the
lecture has yet to be finalized.
•• ·nie author of over 390 books
over a 45-year period, Asimov
is also a member of Mensa~ an
international organization for
people of the highest i~-
telligence. He is best known for
his science fiction works such as
"I, Robot" and "The Bicenten-
nial Man."
Asimov was born on Jan. 2,
1920, in the Soviet Union. In
1923, he and his parents im-
migrated to New York, where
he became, as be puts it,
"Brooklyn-bred." Asimov
was
admitted to Columbia Univer-
sity at the age of 15, where he
earned a Bachelor of Science
degree.
After serving in the U.S.
Navy for three years, Asimov
received his doctorate
in
Chemistry from Columbia
in
1948. He worked as an instruc-
tor of biochemistry at Boston
University from 1948 until 1958,
when he started writing full-
time.
Asimov began writing science
fiction at the age of 11 and had
his first published short story at
the age of 18. In 1950, Double-
day Books published his first
book-length work of science fic-
tion
"Pebble
in
the Sky." Since
then, Asimov has written about
a wide variety of subjects, both
fiction and non-fiction, ranging
from math and science to the
Bible and Shakespeare.
•
The World Science Fiction
Society has honored Asimov
five times with its prestigious
Hugo Award (the Oscar of
science fiction writing). These
include
a
special award honor-
ing his Foundation Trilogy as
the Best All-Time Science Fic-
tion Series. He has also receiv-
ed three Nebula Awards from
the Science Fiction Writers of
America, one designating him a
Grandmaster of Science Fiction.

Parking crunch

by Michael Hayes
Lill)ited parking facilities and an
influx of cars on campus have fore-
.
ed Marist Security to issue as many
as 200 tickets per day and to begin
having cars towed.
Steve Gralton. "I realize that you
can't park in a fire lane or a han-

Security Joseph Leary said he
realizes that there is a problem
because the Marist community in-

are only 1,500 parking spaces on

Under Leary's direction, securi-

greater expense.

"Without warning, we will tow

said Leary. "We towed our first car
this semester. It was parked in a

Leary said that a tow will cost
$45 plus an additional $20 for each
day the car is impounded.
"We're trying to get their
(students') attention, not get rich,''
said Leary.
The problem has been worsened
by the closing of part of the Marist
East parking lot. The lot has been

will be damaged while work is be-

building. Leary said he was told
that the lot will be reopened
in
a
couple of weeks.
"It's never been this bad," said
senior Roger Carmien. "The fact
that Marist East is closed has a lot
to do with the problem, but there
are just too many cars. They real-
ly should restict the number of cars
on campus."
Dispute over
dates spurs
-2nd election
by Nathan Robinson
Freshman elections came to a
halt on Thursday, Oct. 6, only
a few hours after it began, said
Jeff Ferony, student body
president.
Due to a contradiction of
dates on the election guidelines
two hopefuls for office had
been left off the ballots, said
Ferony.
According to Ferony, one
paragraph
of the election
guidelines said the declaration
of petitions for office were due
on Sept. 29, and the following
paragraph said the petitions
were due on Sept. 23.

Senior. to study Presidency
.
by Molly
Ward
Marist students watching the
republican convention this summer
may have caught a glimpse of one
of their own milling about the
floor.
Bill Corbett,
a
senior at Marist,
was standing right under the
podium as presidential candidate
George Bush and vice presidential
candidate Dan Quayle made their
speeches, he said.
Corbett had the opportunity to
go to the convention as a member
of the Center for the Study of the
Presidency. Corbett has been a
member for four years and was
selected in May as a center fellow.
As one of fifteen center fellows,
Corbett will attend a leadership
conference in Boston in November
and' a student symposium in
Washington, D.C., in -March. He
will attend a day of White House
briefings prior to the symposium.
As a center fellow, Corbett will
also moderate several debates and
act as a leader of the small groups.
Corbett is a political science ma-
jor who hopes to go into politics
after law school. He said he con-
siders the center a great place to
learn about government.
The Center for the Study of the
'Presidency
is a non-partisan group
of about 500 people from arounc\
the country who are interested in
government. Corbett's fath~r,
William Corbett Sr., an act.mg
justice in Horal Park,
N.Y.,
is also
a member and got his son involved.
The center holds symposiums
every year, at which political
leaders debate and give speeches.
At these symposiums Corbett got
the chance to talk to Edwin Meese,
Sandra Day O'Connor,
Con-
gressman Lee Hamilton, and
members of the Democratic and
Republican National Committees.
·
At one symposium, President
Reagan spoke to the group.
•
"I was in the front row when the
president spoke," said Corbett.
After the debates and speeches,
the large group breaks
into
smaller
groups of fifteen or sixteen people
that have hour-long meetings or
luncheons with the speakers.
"When you go to conferences
like this and talk about tough issues
with people that are involved in
them -
when you can have both
sides of an issue like in the debates
- it's amazing how much you can
learn," he said.

and puts it off until the last minute.
"My friends and I can never
decide what we're going to be and
we always end up being something
that was thrown together the mor- •
ning of Halloween," said Crean.
"Last year we took garbage bags,
taped candy to them and went as
trick-or-treat bags. By 11 our
costumes were ruined because
everyone at the party had eaten the
candy off of them.''
"Some costumes are so creative
you wonder where people get their
ideas and others are so played
out," Minogue said. "This year I
want people to wonder where
l
got
the idea for my costume. I promis-

• Edmund Pellegrino, director of the
Kennedy Institute of Ethics and
professor
of
medicine
at
Georgetown University, spoke
about Thursday night in the
cam-
pus theater.
The lecture, "Liberal Education:
Relating Ethics and Science,"
focused on ethical decision-making
in the treatment of mortally-ill pa-
tients based on a liberal arts educa-
tion. It was sponsored by the
Cunneen-Hackett Lecture series
with assistance from the Marist
Division
of
Science
and
Core/Liberal Studies program.
Pellegrino told a group of more
than 400 students and faculty
members that no one can make im-
portant moral and ethical decisions
without a solid liberal arts
background.
The question of whether to con-
tinue life-support treatment is in-
evitable, he said.
"Everyone is going to have to
make a decision on how they want
to be handled," he said.
In these situations, Pellegrino
said the question is not whether life
support can be continued, rather if
it should be.
"The patient cannot ask so-
meone else to do something they
think is immoral," he said. But the
patients decision overrides that of
anyone else, he said.
"No one can make a judgment
about the quality of
.
life about
another human being, unless that
human being has told you other-
wise," he said.
Who should make the decision?
.
If the patient is competent -
that
is,
the person's illness has not
taken away his or her ability to
make a decision - then the patient
decides for his or herself. If the pa-
tient is not competent, either a
designated surrogate decides or the
patient may have made an an-
ticipatory decision, knowing that
his or her life was at risk.
According to Pellegrino, the
sources of conflict of interest in
these situations are philosophical
and religious commitments, deter-
mination of the quality
·or
life,
ethnic value systems, conflict bet-
ween patient, family and doctor,
and conflict between health team
members.
The resolution of these conflicts
is achieved through negotiation and
consultation, the appointment of a
legal guardian if the patient does
not have one, ethics committees,
and court action.
''The courts are not good places
for making moral decisions, but we
may have to go to them," he said.
During a question and answer
period
after the
lecture,
Pellegrino
said he foresees a change in the
position of the medical communi-
ty on this is~ue within the next 15
years.
He said all hospitals will have to
state their positions up front, so in
the event of a life-death situation,
there will not be such a conflict of
interest.

















































Marist through African eyes
by Karen Cicero
.

In
1982,
Abdul Sankoh made the
eight-hour flight to the United
States to continue his education.
Thousands of miles from his
I
hometown of Freetown in Sierra
Leone, Africa, Sankoh found life
much different than his homeland.
A first-year calculus teacher,
Sankoh, 28, heard of Marist for the
first time when ABC news mcn-
tiQned the Marist Institute for
Public Opinion. He had heard
about a job opening a:t the college.
He accepted the position in ear-
ly
June and was curious about
coming to Poughkeepsie.
"I
wanted to see what the Tawana
• Brawley case was al\ about," he
said.
Sankoh graduated from the
University of West Africa with a
bachelor's degree in math educa-
tion and earned a master's degree
in math from the University_ of
Toledoin in 1984. He also did
graduate work at SUNY Buffalo,
and intends to return to Africa
when he completes his studies.

River Brigade
Student volunteers work
to clean up the Hudson
by Michael Kinane
"Stop talking about it and do something
about it!"
With these words, Joanne Myers, an assis-
tant professor of political science, prompted
one of her students into action.
Last Sunday, A. Edward Fludd, the resi-
dent assistant on the fifth floor of Leo Hall,
gathered 16 residents from his floor and two
other students and deaned up approximate-
ly 250 meters of the Hudson River's east
bank.
At the beginning of last summer, Fludd
took a walk to the Marist boathouses along
the river where.he saw the riverbank covered
with beer cans and bottles.
"I
got angry over the condition of the
river," said Fludd "It's such a scenic area,
but then you look down and ... garbage."
Fludd took his concerns to Myers, who
issued her challenge. She suggested that
Fludd join -Greenpeace, an international
- organization whose-policies
call for the clean-
up of the earth's environment.
Fludd, who describes himself as more of
an "activist" than a "legislative type," took
Myers' suggestion one step further.
"Nothing .ever gets-done when you try to
do it the right way,,, said the senior political
science major .. "You have to just do
it."
When school opened in September, Fludd
did.
.
Last Tuesday, Fludd called a meeting of
the fourth, fifth and sixth floors of.Leo
where he told them of his idea. He also show-
ed them a poster by Gareth Williams titled
"Running Out of Time." The poster shows
an hourglass· with a landscape scene in the
top portion that dwindles into a pile of gar-
bage in the lower portion.
"I
asked them if they enjoyed not being
able to go to the beach last summer," said
Fludd, referring to the numerous beach clos-
ings throughout the northeast. "Then I told
that it was time we did something about our
own situation."
Of the 150 people who attended that
meeting, only 18 showed up at 1 p.m. on
Sunday to help with the clean-up. Armed
with rakes and garbage bags, they started at
the Poughkeepsie train bridge and worked
their way north until they reached what the
crew team calls the "500 meter mark" - a
set of decaying stone stairs that overlook the
river.
By 2:30 p.m., numerous bags of garbage
h_ad been collected and the area along the
river had been raked and picked clean of
trash.
"It's our mess. It's the students who go
down there and leave the garbage, so we were
just deaning up our own mess," said
Melanie Winters, a senior communication
arts major who took part in the clean-up.·
"It's about time someone did something."
According to Fludd, the riverbanks were
cleaned up after his walk in early June, but
no one has cleaned up since school began.
"I
just hope the school follows suit and
puts receptacles down there," said Fludd,
who said he thinks placing the receptacles by
the boathouses will not advocate drinking
because students are drinking there already.
Fludd said he hopes ~he··work that was
done will set an example for others on cam-
pus and that people will begin to take better
care of the river front.
"No matter where we live in the world, it's
our environment," said
Fludd.
"We are
screwing up our environment and the time
is running out to help it."
"Think about what a few people did in
such a short time and it makes you wonder,"
said Mike Morrin, a freshman from Wolcott,
Conn., who lives on Leo's fifth floor. "You
looked at it after you were done and you
think about what America could be like if
we just didn't drop our beer cans around."

editorial
Frosh punishment a
step toward future?
"The posession and/ or use of alcohol by any student within
freshman and sophomore housing facilities is prohibited."
This is Marjst's policy, as spelled out on page 86 of the student
handbook, towards alcoholic consumption in its dormitories.
Last Friday night, the residents of the third floor of Leo Hall·
broke that policy when they held an "around the world" party
in which each student went from room to room tasting different
and, sometimes, not so different alcoholic beverages.
Of course, this action was in direct violation of college rules.
Rules that each student is made aware of from the time hear-
rives on campus.
In response to the actions of Leo's residents, Housing officials
restricted all visitors from entering the· building from Saturday
until Monday morning.
While some may feel the punishment was unfair, what other
action could the Housing Office take when such a major breach
of the rules occurs?
Due to disturbances within college-owned housing at Boston
University, that college's administration has placed a limitation
on· the time a resident may have visitors in their room. Only
residents of a room are allowed in that room after 11:30 p.m.
Sundays through Thursdays and I :30 a.m. on Fridays and
Saturdays.
How would we feel if we could not have visitors in our rooms
past 11:30 p.m.?
While there is no sign that a ruling such as this may occur at
Marist, events such as Friday night's could prove to be the first
reason cited if such a policy were ever developed.

A_s beer,· togas floW,
RA shouldn't 'rome'
by Bob Higgins
A funny thing happened on the way to the vomitorium a few
weekends ago.
There I was, minding my own business, wearing my own toga
and drinking my own special brand of Greco-Roman beer, when
a resounding knock at the door alerted i:ny roommate and me that
an angry individual was waiting in the stairway. Could it be the
• resident assistant? The crowd hushed momentarily as we opened
the door.
••
There he was, every partier's nightmare: a guy you don't
recognize carrying a clipboard and an angry expression on lµs face.
The rumors were true. This was an RA. But wait a minute - he
did look vaguely familiar. Wasn't this the same guy who had come
by about a half-hour ago and told us to keep the noise down? It
was. Ooops. He had tried to do us a favor and we blew it. (Thus
.
the angry expression.)
Sinner repent, for the end is nigh! It was all over. The 21st bir-
thday gala celebration/Greco-Roman toga party for my roommate
that had started with so much promise (and so JDUCh
beer) now
saw its demise as imminent. Marist College was going to enforce
its· strict alchohol policy in front of all those drunken alumni
parading across campus with open champagne bottles. Marist Col-
lege
was
putting its money where its handbook said its mouth was.
We were going to get "written up."
But noooo, my dear readers, 'twas not the case. Our once-
menacing RA soon gave us a
"can
we talk?" look, and my room-
mate arid
I
exchanged curious glances. After asking us to step out
into the stairway (blackmail doesn't like a lot of attention), our
now-persuasive "friend" had decided to do us a "favor."
And I quote: "Either way, I'm gonna take the beer. Now you
can give the
beer
to me, and I won't write you up. If you don't
give the beer to me,
I'll
write up every person in that room and
give the
beer
to Security."
Mere words
cannot describe how touched we were by his offer.
Is
''blackmail
for personal consumption'' in the_Student Hand-
book?
I mustof
skipped
that page. Had I known RA's were allow~
ed to
confiscate
beer
for their own personal consumption, I would
have signed
up to be one freshman year.

"extortion" rubs me the wrong way, especially when I'm the one
being extorted.
•
Hey, this guy's got a job t~ do and I respect that. However,
I'd rather have him do his job and "bust" us than steal what's
legally ours. I've heard that power corrupts, but this is ridiculous.

l have a
sneaky feeling there's a moral issue involved here
somewhere, but I'm not in any position to play Jerry Falwell and

RA. How many other RA's employ such methods? Not many that
I
know of. But it's the few bozos that give RA's in general a bad
name. These few bozos should be weeded out and weeded out fast.
•
So what happened? Well, it went like this: while mfroomate
and I were haggling for precious time in the stairway; our bed-
sheeted guests (being the true bacchanalian Romans they are) were
•
consuming the last of that hour's supply of beer. (The rest-was
in the car.) Many-of the weak and timid-hearted, sensing·an RA
in the vicinity, fled to Athens.
So when my roomate posed the question, "How much do you
want?" and our friend answered, "Well, let me see what you got/'

we, as students, all in the same proverbial boat? We have enough
hassle dealing with a ridiculous drinking policy and an overzealous

MCTV: Why you
,:,,ever saw
sports programs on campus
by Doug Bacile
An article in The Circle last
week discussed new leadership
for Marist College Television,
and pointed out some of its
failures of the past. As the
Sports Director for all of last
year,
I want to point out a few
misconceptions in what I read.
The club's new president
stated that she wanted more
coverage of athletic events, and
one club member was quoted as
saying there was "a chronic lack
of competence and devotion"
throughout the club.
Both of these statements, to
me, are off base and unfair.
As sports director last year, I
was personally responsible for
televising four out of six home
football games, missing only the
first week of school, and the
week of mid-term break. We
covered every home basketball
game played while school was in
session, and four out of six
home hockey games in the
spring semester.
This called for a great deal of
competence and devotion on the
,
I
·•
part of our sports staff, who
sometimes were called upon to
cover two events in one night.
The
logical
question,
therefore, is how come nobody -
on campus ever saw any of the
games on TV? The answer lies
n?t with the television club, but
with the Student Activities of-
fice. For each game, I bought
my own videotape, because
nobody saw fit to supply us with
any, and handed the tape in to
Student Activities to be shown.
When
I
saw no games com-
ing on TV, I began questioning
Student Activities each time I
handed in the tapes. None of
these games were ever seen, and
nobody on the staff ever got the
recognition they deserved.
The sports department of
MCTV last year was quite
strong, and it's time that these
people at least got a good men-
tion for all of their work.
This is not to say that the club
hasn't had its share of pro-
blems. The president for the last
three years was Chris Lezny, so-
meoile with no artistic vision.
who kept the club's equipment
(what's left of it) in his house.
The only reason· he was presi-
dent for so long was that, by the
time elections came around,
there was nobody left in the club
except Lezny himself, and a few
of his friends.
Therefore, it took quite a bit
of effort to establish a sports
department last year, and the
people involved did an excellent
job to revive a dying club.
So now there is new leader-
ship in the club, and hopefully
they
will
get things back
!Ogether. The sports department
1s now headed by Dan Garcia
and will be looking to continu;
on its success of last year.
As a former leader in the
club, I felt it was long overdue
to acknowledge and thank the
members of last years sports
staff, and I wish MCTV the best
of luck for the future.

It's not as if they don't have

After all,· their profit margin on

It has always struck me as in-
teresting how they ma,rk up the
price of a $20 book to $40, then
give you back

semester.
It is so reassuring to know that
the students here always have a

stands on drinking in the dorms,
but evidently someone forgot to tell

Students say they miss Marge;
she'll be back in two weeks
by Nancy Bloom
Basketball player Miro Pecar-
ski has been dining in the
cafeteria for four years but says
this year something is different.
Pecarski is only one of the
many students ·who says eating
in the dining room is different
without Magdelin Sadowski
greeting them at the door.
Magdelin Sadowski, better
known as Marge, has been char-
ming students in the cafeteria
for four years.
"I've known Marge for a
long time, and I miss not seeing
her," said Pecarski, a senior
from Yugoslavia.
This year would have been
the Poughkeepsie native's fifth
year working for Seiler's, but
after the first week of school
Marge became ill.
Marge has been gone for
nearly six weeks suffering from
bacterial
endocardipus,
a
bacterial infection in the blood.
"I'm not sure ofthe cause of
it, or where it came from," said
Marge.
"It
Wl;lS
just creeping up
on me."
After
being
in Vassar
Brothers Hospital for three
weeks, Marge was released mto
her daughter's care.
Donna Moran,
Marge's
daughter and assistant to Presi-
dent Dennis Murray, has been
caring for Marge in her home
since her release from the
hospital.
''Thank
God
for
my
daughter," Marge said. "She
has taken good care of me,
given me my medicine and made
me feel much better."
Mary Zempko, Marge's sister
and
co-worker,
said,
"Everybody asks for Marge.
They all ask where she is and
when she's coming back."
Zempko compiled a list of "I
miss Marge" students. The list
contained over 100 names.
"I miss Marge," said Tina
Kemp, a sophomore from West
Point. "She was so bright and
cheery and always remembered
me."
George
Koutsaftes,
a
sophomore from West Orange,
N
.J., says he feels the same way
about Marge.
"I
want her back
so I can see her smiling face,"
he said.
Ed Fludd, a senior
RA
in Leo
Hall, worked with Marge all
summer m Little People's Sum-
mer Workshop, and said the
two couldn't wait for classes to·
begin.
"I miss Marge," said Fludd.
"She promised she'd be here, so
where the heck is she?"
Marge is missed
-
by many
students who liked her for more
than her cheery face.
Jim McGee, a sophomore
from Syosset, N.Y., said
"Marge
is like my third
grandmother.''
Marge has even been missed
by those who didn't know her.
Dan Lewis, director of dining
services,
.
only worked with
Marge for one week.
"Marge
is an excellent
worker,"
said Lewis,. who
began in September. "We can't
wait for her return."
Marge said in a telephone in-
terview she feels much better
and is resting to get the infec-
tion out of her system.
•
u~ith the good Lord's help,
I will be back soon," said
Marge, who plans to return in
two weeks. "Being sick like this
is so
·terrible,
I wouldn't wish·
this on anyone."

The research in the study by
Dunlap and Canale consisted of
results from a survey conducted
two years ago on career aspirations
among Marist freshmen
and
seniors.
The research reveaied thnt
students feel parental pressure
about career decisions, and Dunlap
said this has made faculty members
aware of the need to reassure
students about their career choices.
She said they can use the data to
improve professional counseling
services at Marist.
Dunlap said that the cooperation
of the faculty and students
throughout the study was wonder-
ful, and the practical aspect of the
data was interesting and exciting.
She added that next year she would
like to follow up with the freshmen
who participated in the last survey
to collect new data.
"It's important to see the stabili-

said.
Dunlap said she
was

Dunlap proudly
said that
students and colleagues have con-

is happy that the research conduct
by Canale and herself has been
recognized, she said, because it is
important for-faculty members to
know about research being done by
their colleagues.
''We've got to start highlighting
what's good about us," she said.

For remaining Brothers,
Marist tradition lives on
ANDROS DINER
RESTAURANT
by Molly Ward
Thirty years after he graduated,
Joe Maura returned to Marist this
fall. He knew right away it was not
the place he had left.
"When I went to school here, it
was much more of an agrarian
scene," recalls Maura, a 1958
graduate and a new member of the
business faculty. "There were
chickens and pigs all over the
place."
More than that, in 1958 the en-
tire student body was composed of
Marist Brothers in training.
Members of the religious order also
filled most of the faculty positions
at what was then known as Marian
College.
Today, only six Brothers remain
on campus. But despite their small
number, the Brothers - all facul-
ty members - say they represent
an important link between the col-
lege and the religious order that
founded it.
They also see themselves keeping
alive a special bond that has Jong
marked the Marist Brothers. "We
have been told-that what makes us
different is a unique family spirit
within the order," said Joseph
Sacino, a business professor who
graduated from Marist in 197 I.
The order was founded in 1817
in France by Marcellin Cham-
pagnat. Primarily a teaching order,
the Brothers opened a training
center on the current site of the col-
lege more than 60 years ago. In the
1960s, lay students were first ad-
mitted to the college, and in 1969
control of the institution was pass-
ed from the Brothers to a board of
trustees.
Brother Donald Kelly, a math in-
stru<:tor and 1965 alumnus, was a
member of one of the first
graduating classes to have lay
students.
"The lay students resented us a
.bit.
All we did was work study and
pray," said Kelly. "They liked to
party."
By the end of the 1960s, student
activism had further transformed
the quiet institution the Brothers
had founded.
"At that time, there were many
more political issues being address-
ed. Students were very concerned
about the war and environmental
issues," Sacino said.
Another major change that the
Marist Brothers have had to accept
is the steady decline of interest in
religious vocations.
"The religious life is not going
to catch on again," said Richard
Rancourt, who graduated in 1953
and teaches mathematics.
"It
had
served a very noble purpose, but
the pendulum never swings all the
way back."
The Brothers also realize that
theirs is a low profile on campus.
"With such a small number of
Marist Brothers left, it is difficult
to see us as a group. It is more like
we are individual teachers," said
Sacino.
Because of their long association
with the college, the Brothers have
had a rare opportunity to chart the
changes in educational standards
and student attitudes.
Of the six Brothers, Professor
Joseph Belanger has been at Marist
the longest. He was a member of
the college's second graduating
class in 1948 (the college was
chartered as a four-year institution
in 1946), and he began· teaching
French in 1959.
• 'Marist is a reflection of the rest
Seiler's
SLICES PLUS WEEKLY SPECIALS
BARGE DELI WEEKLY SPECIALS
of the country,"
he said.
"American high schools have bot-
tomed out. Students are just as
bright, but they are not as prepared
to do consistent, disciplined
work."
Cornelius
Russell,
w~o
graduated in 1950 and became one
of Marist's first business professors
in 1961, agreed that students today
are less prepared.
''Today, there is mote emphasis
on how to interpret literature and
Jess on how to diagram a sentence.
Both are important, but students
are not learning the basics," he .
said.
.
Russell also sees a change in
-
students' goals. "In the '60s and
'70s, students were more concern-
ed with aesthetics, truth and beau-
ty. Now students are more voca-
tional. The idea of a career is para-
mount," he said.
Most of the students in the '60s
were the first of their family to go
to college, said Belanger. Today's
students, he said, come from
backgrounds of greater means.
"With affluence comes ease.
They work for an hour and then
it's 'Boy, I'm tired,' " said
Belanger.
Belanger said today's students
are confused about why they came
to college. "Some students are pay-
ing $12,000 a year for relation-
ships! Relationships are the most
important things in life, but they
can't
be
the primary goal of col-
lege," he said.
Regardless of the ups and
downs, the Brothers (said their
dedication never wanes.

years as they develop character,
good skills and an ability to work

NCAA has chance
to display strength
·
by
Tim Besser
Last week, the NCAA accused
the University of Kentucky men's
basketball program of breaking 17
additional rules.
The· charges included, among
other things:
-
that a recruit was offered a
car, $300 per month in spending
money and another car when he
graduated by a representative of
the institution.
•
--: that the university allowed
visiting perspective players to stay
in Wildcat Lodge, the dorm for the
basketball team, and did not re-
quire payment until October.
therefore don't wield much power
when punished.
By punishing small; insignificant
schools harshly, the NCAA can
point and say "Look, we punish-
ed them. We are trying to clean up
collegiate athletics." The fact is
they are not. Small schools cheat.
But so do large schools and the
large schools are allowed to get
away with it.

Laxmen cop
fall shootout
by Tim Besser
The lacrosse team swept the an-
nual Knickerbocker Shootout last
Sunday at Keane College in Union,
N.J.
Marist, which finished third in
the Knickerbocker Conference last
spring, defeated Keane 6-5 in its
opening game to advance to the
championship game against Mont-
clair, which won the conference ti-
tle last spring. •
In the championship game, the
Red Foxes drubbed Montclair 8-4.
Montclair reached the champion-
ship by defeating SUNY Maritime
in its first game.
In the all-star game, Tom Don-
nellan led the New York squad to
a 7-5 victory over New Jersev.
For his efforts in the all-star
game, Donnellan was nained the
game's MVP for the second
straight year. Mike Malet, head
coach at Marist, said as far as he
knows it is the first time any player
has won the award more than once.
Representing Marist on the all-
star team were: seniors Donnellan,
Jon Blake, Chris Reuss, Pete
. Cleary and Chris Cerwin; juniors
Steve Maloney, Kevin Everson and
Alex Messuri; and sophomores
Rob Naylor and Brian Hanifan.

look to _
engilleer win at RPI
by Jay Reynolds
The Mai-ist football team travels
to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Saturday for the last of five con-
secutive road games before retur-
ning home oil Oct. 29 to face St .
John's Universi!,y.
At RPI, the Red Foxes
will
be
looking to even their record at 3-3
after dropping a 19-0 decis~on at
the U.S. Coast Guard Academy
last Saturday.
RPI has won all six meetings
with the .Red-Foxes, including a
40-
l
4
victory last y~, but is com-
ing offa-27-0loss·at the hands of
Union last Saturday.
The Red Foxes were plague4 by
injuries against Coast.Guard as five
starters had to leave the game.
Linebacker Joe· Hagan left the
with an injured ankle and shoulder,
tight end Joe Nowak left ,vith a
pinched nerve in his shoulder, and
linemen Joe Furey, Michael
Sesselman and Scott Rumsey aU
left the gaine with sprained knees.
Hagan is questionable t"or :Satur-
day, but Nowak, Furey, Sesselman
and Rumsey will all miss the game
at RPI, according to trainer Glenn
Marinelli.
The Red Foxes could not sustain
any offense against the Cadets,
although the defense played well
after allowing a touchdown on the
Cadets' opening drive. The Cadets
drove 65 yards on nine plays in just
three.minutes, 30 seconds to score.
"After the first touchdown, we
came out defensively and played a ·
little better," Coach Mike Malet
said.
""yf
e played excellent defense
- we did not play good offense."
The Red Foxes had only 135
yards of total offense -
just 25
yards in the air.
•
•• Quarterback Jason Thomas led
Marist rushers with 60 yards on 16
carries. Running backs Patrick
Mullaly and Alan Affuso each had
27 yards.
Punter John Woodhour punted
on seven ofMarist's 11 drives for
272 yards.
''Offensively,
we stopped
ourselves," Malet said. "We had
one good drive in the first half that
could have tied the score and we
made a mistake (allowing a sack)
-
and that's got to stop."
After recovering a fumble on its
own 28-yard line, Marist drove to
mid-field on a 22-yard pass from
Thomas to wide receiver Kevin
Cody. However, Marist was forc-
ed to punt after Thomas was sack-
ed for a 5-yard loss and the third
down pass was incomplete.
Leading the defense -for the Red
Foxes was defensive back Fred
Christensen with 14 tackles, I l of
which were unassisted-. Lineman
Chris Pratti and linebacker Stephen
Whelan had 12 tackles and 11
tackles respectively and one sack
each.
Fullback Scott Hoerter led the

yards on 24 • carries. Halfbacks
David Brown and Daniel Kenny
gained 58 and 49 yards respectively.
P~oblem with scholarship resolved
Booters, offensive drought
hu.rts shot at winning mark
by Michael Hayes
A misunderstanding in the ad-
ministration of a scholarship fund,
that may have· led to sanctions
against the Marist football pro-
gram, has been cleared up, accor-·
ding to Marist Athletic Director
Brian Colleary.
The scholarship, presented an:-
n ually by the Charles Van
Norstrand Memorial Scholarship
Fund, is available only to students
who played football at either
Poughkeepsie High School or Our
Lady of Lourdes High School, also
in Poughkeepsie, and attend
Marist.
John Herman, the treasurer of
the fund, thought the recipient had
to at least try out for the Marist
football team, thereby making the
award an -athletic scholarship, a
violation of NCAA Division III
rules, said Colleary.
Going under the assumption the
individual must at least try out,
. Herman rescinded the award to last
year's winner, Steve Walsh, after
Walsh failed to at try out for·the
team.
Colleary said he has since spoken
to Herman and that· Walsh will
receive the
$1,000
award, as will
this year's winner, Kevin McKier-
nan, who is not on the team.
The foundation was established
in the memory of the Charles Van
Norstrand who died four years ago
of leukemia at the age of 34. Van
Norstrand was a student and foot-
ball player at Poughkeepsie High
and later played for Marist. He
went on to teach and coach at Our
Lady of Lourdes. The award is
given by the foundation in an ef-
fort to tie the three schools
toget~er.
"Nobody has to try out for foot-
ball at Marist," said Colleary.
"If
nobody tries out we don't have a
team."
If the award wer:e in fact an
athletic grant Colleary points out
that it would not be given to a stu-
dent on the basis of two practices
• as was the case with McKiernan.
The story was originally broken
by the Poughkeepsie Journal,
which contacted the NCAA in
regards to the legality of the
scholarship. Colleary said the col-
lege has had no contact with the
NCAA involving the scholarship.

The men's soccer team was
-shut out for .the third con-
secutive time, 8-0, in a loss to
Northeast
Conference
foe
Loyola College Saturday in
Baltimore, Md.
The loss dropped the Foxes to
3-9 and 0-4 in the conference.
Marist was at Siena on Wednes-
day, results were unavailable at
press time.
The Marist offense continues
to have its problems as it
managed only three shots on
goal in Saturday's game.
.. We're just not shooting
enough," said Coach Howard
Goldman.
"We're
not putting
the ball into the spaces where a
person could take a shot on
goal."
In the past three games the .
Marist offense has had a total
oflO shots on goal while its op-
ponents have netted 13 goals.
Marist players hold onto the
ball to long before they pass,
said Goldman. They are waiting
for things to happen instead of
going out and making them
happen, Goldman he added.
Meanwhile,
Marist
op-
ponents continue to mount
strong attacks against freshmen
goalie Klye Muncy.
Muncy has saved 75 of the
109 shots the opponents have
had in 12 games for a .668 save
percentage.
