There were also complaints of

including the Communication Arts
Advisory Council.
Owens said that Thomas created
the award
.himself
when he was
president of the IPA and each year
chose someone to receive it. After
his death in 1981, only a few
months after givingthe commence-
ment address at Marist's gradua-
tion ceremony, a committee was
formed to deeide on the recipient
each year.
Robert Norman, director of in-
ternships for communication arts,
was involved in establishing
Marist's award but, at the time, did
.
not know that another Lowell
Thomas award existed. Norman
said that he discovered later·about
the award given by the IPA.
Lowell Thomas Jr. was asked
for permission for the school to use
his father's name for the award, ac-
cording to Norman.
"When the award was research-
ed, there was no mention of a
Lowell Thomas award available,"
Norman
-said.
Eric Sevareid of CBS was the
first person to recieve The Lowell
Thomas Award from Marist in
\
1983.
He was also one of the first
persons to recieve The Lowell
.
Thomas award from the IPA in the
mid-1970s. Others who have reciev-
ed both, include Howard K. Smith
and Harry Reasoner, who
will
be
this year's recipient of Marist's
award.
IPA President
Jack
Anderson, a
newspaper
and television in-
vestigative reporter, will present the
IPA
's award during a speaker con-
-
vention at the Mayflower Hotel in
Washington.· Marist will hold its
presentation· at a -banquet at the
Helmsley Palace in New York City.
Although there are two Lowell
Thomas awards, Norman said that
mos~ of the people who recieved
Marist's Lowell Thomas Award
knew Thomas and that it is ap-
propriate for them to be honored
in his name.

by Joseph O'Brien
The Marist Fashion Show will be
held next Thursday at the Wyn-
dham Hotel, in Poughkeepsie.
The show will feature the
original outfits from 14 Marist
fashion majors, with four "silver
needle awards" being presented for
outstanding work.
Silver Needle Awards were
created last year by Carmine
Porcelli, fashion director at Marist.
The awards, which will be an-
nounced prior to the event, will
honor the best designs for each of
the four fashion seasons: spring,
summer, fall and resort.

Porcelli said he expects a good
turn out from others in the fashion
industry, which will help the
program.
"The show should give us the
validation as a viable fashion pro-
gram. We are a school producing
new talent for the fashion in-
dustry," Porcelli said. "Two or
three years ago the industry wasn't
aware of the talent at Marist."

Slow death.
and new
l{fe
By Ken Hommel
After beine. won over bv Dennis
Quaid and Meg Ryan •s· perfor-
mances in .. lnnerspacc" last
sum-
mer,
I anticipated the remak~·of
the 1949 "D.O.A." to be an adven-
turous
.
thriller with two new
favorites. Even aflcr ha\'ing read
Mike Clark's re\'iew in USA Today
which said the film was literally
:'dead on arri\'al,"
I
kept an operi
mind. That's half-a-mi1id more
than the directors had.
The premise, as in the 1949 film,
is a terr\lkone.
A man is poison-
ed and has 24 hours to find his
killer before he himself dies. The
directors, formerly or the short-
li\'ed "Max Headroom" series,
begin the film with Quaid recoun-
ting the case in unglorious black-
antl-whitc. And, before
\'OU
can
say "Usher, I want my· money
back
...
the .\tory unfolds into col-
or, but is crippled by numerous at-
tempts at bizarre camera angles and
uncinema1ic style. Notice
I
don't
even acknowlede.e the directors'
forgettabk· namc.\.
Quaid play.\ a college professor
presumably a few years his senior
and a s1ereotypical literary has-
been. while Ryan plays a co-ed
presumably a few years her junior
and even younger intellec1ually. Ir's
all a mailer of realizing who has the
most to gain by killing Quaid and
watching
_what
characters pop up_
oi"tcl\ Ci\0llgh:Quaid's Dr:'Dcxler·
Cornell runs around lo\,·n like an

probable murderers. Hand-in-hand

atan a hot idea?
by Shelley Smith
Spring Break is over, your tans
are fading and it's just too early in
the season to get a good tan the
natural way, so many are turning
to tanning indoors.
"We went to keep our tans from
Florida," said Melissa Hayes a
21-year-old junior from Valley
Stream, N. Y., who added that a lot
of people from Marist go.
"Everytime I went, ·I've seen so-
meone from Marist."
Melissa Carrigan goes because
she wants to have a tan for her
brother's wedding this weekend.
•~I'm afraid of hurting my skin, but
after the weekend I'll stop going."
Carrigan has reason to worry,
.according to Barbara Dalrymple, a
certified medical assistant and of-
fice manager for Dr. Jeffrey Kezis,
. a dermatologist.
Sun Capsule tanning salon is one of the many such
establishments that has opened its doors in the Hudson Valley.

"It causes premature wrinkling.
The skin becomes very tough and
• leathery looking,'' said Dalrymple.
"It's like having the rays of the
sun-on you and it's very harmful
and it can cause skin cancer," she
• said. The· tanning salons are
dangerous because people go year-
• round instead of just during the
summer
and therefore increase
their risk of cancer.

(!ltraviolet rays: A, 'the Jight-(tann-

and C, the infrared ray.
"In a tanning unit you get A,
that's·the majority," said Mary
Pauldine, manager of the Neu Day
Beauty Center:
But the indoor tanning process
requires about
0.5
percent of B

to trigger the tanning process.
"The tanning salon is a lot more

For years now, complaints that The Library does not meet the
needs of the Marist community have been heard.
•
Earlier this semester, the New York State Education Depart-
ment sent a review team to study Marist's degree-granti_ng
.
programs.
.
The results of the education department's report have not been
released yet, but the members of the review teani met with some
Marist administrators and faculty members and discussed some
of their findings.·
•
.
'
•.
One of the major criticisms dicussed was the small size of The
Library as well •as the relative inadequacy of its collection.
This is not the first time that Marii;t's library facilities have been
criticized.
.
•
.
.
In 1981, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools,
which evaluates institutions to make sure they meet academic stan-
dards, audited Marist College. From that audit, the Middle States
review team suggested that The Library add 10,000 volumes to
its collection each year.
.
Since the visit from the Middle States Association, steps have
been taken to enlarge The Library's collection -
4,800
volumes
were bought last year and as many as 5,100 volumes are being
sought for this year - but they have not yet met the suggestions
given by the association.
Each year, as more and more students decide
to
enroll at Marist,
the The Library will take on a more important role as the amount
it is used increases.
Take a walk in The Library during mid-term or finals week and
students can be seen sprawled on the floor throughout the building
for lack of space. Surely, a larger, better equipped library would
aid student's in their educational experience.
Hopefully, now that another review team has said that im-
provements are needed in The Library, Marist will begin to make
plans which will allow The Library to be comparable to libraries
at colleges of sjmilar size.

I realized that those responsible for

viewbook is the first true sign of

could learn from this example,
someday - not soon, but someday
- this school could be as finely run

"You love her and sh·e loves him, and he loves
soineone else you just can'_t win. And so it goes till
the day you die, the thing you call love·is gon·na,
make you cry. Love stinks!"
And so does college -
any college.
I'm serious, pick up any school newspaper, talk
to any college student, you will not find people who
like where they are.
·1 had a friend who went to a junior college and
didn't like it. He thought his school experience
would be better if he was at a "real school" like
Marist. Many people at Marist are unhappy with
.
their experience. One friend thinks that it would
•
be different if he went to a "real school" like Ho-
ly Cross.
_
1 bet you can guess what comes next.· My friend
at Holy Cross would rather be at a "real school"
like Princeton. I've talked with a Princeton
graduate and he complained about: housing,
teachers, the library, add/drop lines, the social life,
the administration, to name a few. How can he
complain? He went to a "real school?"
.
I've experienc~d all the bad about Marist. I've
been written up, waited in add/drop lines, ~ad bor~
ing weekends, smelled the Hudson, taken ~: 15 s,
seen my tuition money spent in odd ways, been told
that the library doesn't happen to have the copy
of Time magazine that I needed, I've everi been
erased from the computer and told that I don't ex-
ist. But complain? Me? Never.
_·
.
Actually I complain about a lot of thingst· My
complaint this week is the people who complain
about Marist.
•
It doesn't really_ bother me that Marist i~n't a
name school. I know people at the "real schools" .
and the pressure and competition hasn't really given
my friends an
edge
on me or any other non-name
school graduate. Okay
so
maybe they already have
ulcers and a few gray. hairs.
My friend's chemistry notebook was stolen at
Holy Cross, because her classmates were afraid she
would throw off the curve.
The bureaucratk shuffle that goes on at Marist
has really helped prepare me for the real world.
I recently l;lttempted to get a passpon. I took with
me a photocopy of my birth cenificate, my original
.
baptismal certificate, my drivers license, and a note
from my mother's obstetrician (actually it was a
copy of the medical record where my birth was
recorded). I was told that 1 didn't have valid pro-
of of my existence and my citizenship.
"What more do I need?" I asked.
"You need an original, certified copy of your
birth cerificate," the
·postal
worker said.
"Yes, but if you read the back of the passport
application you can
~e~
th~c
an original baprismal
cenificate is
also acceptable,"
I
said.
"I'm
sorry M'am," the postal worker said. "\Ve
can only accept that if the original certificate was
burned in a fire.''
"Well what if ir

questioned.
"Then you're out of luck," he replied.
"Then it was burned in a fire,"
1
lied.
"In that case you need to have form XYZ filled
out and. notarized," he said.
Whal is the point of this story? After weeks of
chasing my elusive birth certificate, doubting my
existence, convincing myself my parents found me
in a basket on the front porch, I was sent a
photocopy of my birth certificate stamped
"official
copy.,OThe business office and registrar aren'r even
that messed up.
Yes, there are things about college that are a
pain. Life doesn't get any easier and complaining
doesn't change anything. If you always do what
you've always done, you'll always get what you've
'always
·got.

and said "Miss McGuiniless you come to this col-

I knew there were good points and bad points
to this school -
10 all schools. There is no such
thing as perfect. It
is
a philisophical term. Perfec-
tion is relative. I may consider a perfect school one
that has Friendly's as it's food service. You may
consider a college perfect if it has a bar in each
dorm and no drinking age.
If I complain about the school I chose, I am com-
plaining about myself. In fact, if my philosophy
classes serve me right, my complaining would
• negate my original decision to go to the school.
(The logic goes
·as
follows: This school is dumb.
People who are affiliated with the school are dumb.

If you listen to fellow Maris\ students you would
think that they signed a contract in blood doom-
ing them 10 life at Marist. If Marist is really that
miserable do something about it -
besides com-
plain. If you don't you may find yourself as a
grandparent telling your grandchild of all the things
you could have done if life was fair, if you were
given better opportunites. No ones going to give
you anything, you have to work for everything you
will get, but at least you'll know that you had con-
trol; you made the decisions, you earned everything
you got.

State review is positive,
but Library is concern
by Wayne O'Brien
While the state education depart-
ment will not release its review of
Marist until later this year, the
report will praise Marist, but
criticize the Library, according to
Academic Vice President Marc
vanderHeyden.
The report will also criticize the
close ties between Marist and IBM
and a lack of interaction between
faculty and students, according to
a faculty member who asked not to
be identified.
All
accredited institutions in New
York state are periodically review-
ed to ensure they are qualified to·
grant degrees.
Last month,
an education
department review team studied
Marist for three days. Before leav-
ing, the 3-member group revealed
some of its findings to a group.of
Marist administrators and faculty.
Marist was the first of 12 colleges
to be reviewed by the state this
year.
The Library drew the most
criticism, vanderHeyden said. The
team
.faulted
the Library's small
size and its inadequate collection.
The Library
was similarly
.
criticized in 1981 when Marist was
reviewed by the Middle States
Association
of Colleges and
Schools which evaluates
institu-
tions to ensure that they meet na-
tional academic standards.
Marist has steadily increased the
Library's annual budget from
$40,000 in 1981 to $238,000 in
19&7,
but its collection is still years
behind libraries of most similar size
colleges. vanderHeyden said Marist
will continue to improve the
Library's collection.
vanderHeyden said Marist may
also increase the size of the Library
or build a new one.
"I'm
dreaming
.of
a new
library," he said, but he added that
such a project is still years away.
In an interview last month, John
McGinty, director of the Library,
estimated the cost of a new library
to be $6 million.
The review team also criticized
Marist's reliance on IBM equip-
ment, according to a faculty
member who asked not to be
identified.
Nontypists find the going rough
by Cheryl Sobeski
If Marian Hall resident Jimmy
Kilfeather, a freshman from Long
Island,
N. Y .,
had a 15-page paper
due tomorrow, he would probably
head upstairs to find a girl to type
it.
At $1.50 a page, the usual fee
charged by students who type
papers for other students,
a
15-page
paper
would
cost
Kilfeather $22.50.
Like many Marist students,
Kilfeather never had a typing
course in high school.
And as Kilfeather has found out,
Marist College offers no help to
students who can't type.
Marist has no courses in typing
and has never taught typing in the
past.
"Typing isn't a four-year co\\ege
level course," said Dr. John Kel-
ly,
chairperson of the
Division
of
Management Studies.
clerk.
The average rental rate for an
electric Smith Corona typewriter is
$25 a month, according to J and M
Business
Machines
of
Poughkeepsie.
Students who are determined to
learn how to type can go to Dut-
chess County Community College
for a non-credit course. During any
semester, the cost for a four week
course that meets twice a week is
$32.
The Computerized Learning
Center of Krissler's Business In-
stitute in Poughkeepsie charges $25
for one two-hour typing session.
Each additional session is $25.
The Dutchess County Board of
Co-op Educational Services. offers
a five week non-credit course that
meets twice a week for $55.
Students can also look for
Nathan Levine's "Typing for
Everyone: Learn to Type

"Students shouldn't have
t.J
go
somewhere else to learn· how to
type," said Mark Marino, a junior
from White Plains, N.Y. "We're
paying Marist to learn and get an
education. All the teachers expect
you to type. Marist has the facilities
co teach a typing course and should
teach one."
"Marist
shouldn't
accept
students who can't type," said
Saunders.
"If you can't type, you're in
trouble, both here (at Marist) and
in
the
work force," said Rich Sot-
tile, a junior from Kingston, N. Y.
"With all the computers, you

.
"It
takes me four hours to type
two pages,"
said Ann Marie
Weathers, a sophomore from the
Bronx,
N. Y.
"I
type with two
fingers."
Paul Monty, a freshman from
Long Island,
N. Y.,
says it is not
unusual to find students who
charge up to $3.50 to type a page
for other students, but that also in-
cludes proofreading.
Eric Van Clear, a freshman from
Staten Island, N.Y ., says if you've
got friends who can type, you can
avoid paying the fees, but he
wonders what will happen to peo-
ple who can't type (himself includ-
ed) when they need to know how
to type for their job and can't ask
a friend for help.
"Other colleges, especially state
ones and ones with computers,
teach typing,'; said Marino.
Vassar College, a traditional
liberal arts institution, does not of-
f er typing.
"Marist is more than just liberal
•
arts," said Marino.
Dr. Judith Saunders, director of
the college Curriculum Committee,
which votes on and approves new
courses,
saici,
"A typing course was
never proposed before, but if one
was, we would look into its
feasibility."
ATTENTION STUDENTS:
According to a survey taken by
The Circle last week of 220 Marist
students, 20 percent said they had
not had a typing class in high
school.
•
30 percent said they would be in-
terested in taking a typing course.
The survey was conducted last
Wednesday in nine randomly
chosen 1:00 p.m. classes.
Since Marist has about 2,900
undergraduate students, according
10
the Registrar's Office. The
estimated need for a typing course
would be 870 students, according
to The Circle's survey.
Barbara Carpenter, director of
the Learning Center, said a typing
course would be a good idea
because the center has no program
to teach students how to type.
"We
just tell students to look on
the bulletin boards to find people
who can type for them," said
Carpenter. "We don't even have a
typewriter they can use."
The School of Adult Education
has no help for students who can't
type either. The office usually tells
students to look into other colleges
or business· schools for a typing
program.
The Computer Center does not
have software or programs for typ-
ing, and suggests students take In-
troduction to Computer Systems to
learn how to use
·the
mainframe
and P .C. Although the class does
not teach typing skills.
The Career Resource Center has
no typing tips for students, except
to look outside the college.
The college bookstore once
rented out typewriters for $20 a
week, but stopped doing so three
years ago.
"It was cheaper for the students
to go to a rental company, than to
rent ours," said Malcolm K--.lmer,

Al least that's what the people in

what happened to us on a Tuesday

Sec, my houscmate and friend

horse 1railcr that is parked in the

that takes up two spaces. You have
probably more than once cursed it
and 1he owner. Be nice 10 Jen -
she's not doing it maliciously.)

·Learning
to love myself
)
There has always been a deep,
dark secret hidden in my past -
unknown to many.
From 9th grade until just before
I left for college, I struggled with
feelings of wanting to end my life.
In every way possible,
I
appeared
to be the normal teenager. But my
'

turmoil that
I

My withdrawal is best for both of

Suicide shattered my life almost
as much as it did Brian's. Now, it's

cer teams. They said that I had a
bright future. I didn't believe them.
In my mind, no matter how well
·I performed in school, or played in
a game, it was never good enough.
1 set unachievable standards for
myself. I was a perfectionist.
My descent into hell had begun.
I slipped into a constant depres-
sion,
isolating
myself
from
everyone by withdrawing into my
own world. 1 struggled in silence.
One day, I'm not sure why, I
started thinking about suicide.
I
was never happy and it seemed to
be the perfect solution to all of my
problems.
I
felt empty inside as if my life
was void of all meaning.
I
didn't
love myself -
my thoughts and
feelings tortured me as I began to
walk the thin line between life and
death.
At that point,
I
carried a jack-
knife in my purse to remind me
that there was always a way out.
I
had also developed the self-
destructive habit of cutting myself.
It provided me with an outlet for
my anger -
helping me negotiate
between my urge to die and my will
to live.
During this time in m~ life, 1

shatter their image of
me.
After a stable summer before my
sophomore year, my suicidal feel-
ings
reoccurred. My parents and
counselors forced me to seek help
at a private psychiatric hospital, ten
minutes from my house.
I
stayed
there for five months.
When I returned to school, I
tried to resume my life. However,
all was still not well and in January
of my junior year
I
cut myself with
a razor blade, almost hitting the
vein. Six months passed before my
mom noticed the scar.
I
just told
her that
I
hurt myself, not em-
phasizing the seriousness or it. She
expressed her anger and disap-
pointment.
"I
thought that we were
beyond that," she said.
I
didn't fare much better senior
year. As a result,
I
was almost
readmitted
to the psychiatric
hospital. Fortunately, with the help
or
my
psychologist,
I
emerged a
victor in my battle between life and
death.
I
graduated with my class
last
spring
and won a Booster Club
Scholarship.
Although
I
am no longer
suicidal,
I
will never forge! the in-
ner turmoil, the feeling of being
trapped within myself, and the
overwhelming belief that
I
was go-
ing to live forever in a state or
despair and hopelessness.
Instead or being angry about my
past,
I
have chosen to devote my
future to counseling others who arc
living the hell in which
I
spent four
years of my life.

thank God every-
day for helping me to make the
right decision in choosing to live.

It

•
"It
was just like Dr. Zhivago,"
said Marist
Professor
Casimir
Norkeliunas,
•
referring
to the
famous novel. "We were all feel-
ing very high."
But as emotional as that moment
was, the reality of Soviet com-
munism also hit the group, which
toured the Soviet Union during
Spring Break with Norkeliunas as
its leader.

The tension grew when Soviet
officials questioned Mead's worn

"My first moments in Russia
and I already had an encounter
with three goons," said Mead.
The tension
was thickest,
however, for Norkeliunas who was
informed three days before the trip
that he and his son, also going on
the trip, were considered Soviet
citizens under a law passed in 1979.
Norkeliunas, a native Lithuanian,
was born in 1937 when Lithuania
was independent of the Soviet
Union.
"I was so
.angry
that anybody
could impose a law like that,
especially on my son,"
said
Norkeliunas, who kept a low pro-
file throughout the trip.
_
The group traveled to Len-
ingrad, Moscow, Vladimir and
Suzdal over 10 days, seeing the
Kremlin, Red Square and Lenin's
tomb, the Hermitage and St.
Isaac's Cathedral.
The group also witnessed the
changing of the guard at Lenin's
tomb.
•
"It's not like you're watching it
on TV; you're right there," said
Hal Omberg, a junior from Ter-
ryville, Conn. "You almost have to
·
pinch yourself."
With tourist restrictions reduced,
the group was allowed to venture
into the heartland of Russia,
witnessing the ancient wooden
churches and gingerbread houses,
many with no indoor plumbing.

"Families put up with it," said
Norkeliunas, "because it is far
more preferable than the over-
crowding in the cities."

Gorbachev's "glasnost," or open~
ness policies,

"stalinized" Soviet Union are still

If you plan on voting in New
York's primary Tuesday, you may
find the ballot a little confusing.
There will be four Republican
candidates listed on the ballot in
some congressional districts, but
only Vice President
'George
Bush
and former TV evangelist Pat
Robertson remain in the race. Sen.
Robert Dole of Kansas and Con-
gressman Jack Kemp of western
New York withdrew too late to be
taken off the ballot.
The Democratic primary ballot
will list Massachusetts
Gov.
Michae\ Dukakis, the Rev. Jesse
Jackson, 'Tennessee Seil.
A\
Gore,
\l\inois Sen. Pau\ Simon, Missouri
Congressman Richard Gephardt
and
perennial
conccnder Lyndon
LaRouche
as
candidates.
Gephardt dropped out of the
race last week, but is still listed on
the ballot in most congressional
districts·. Simon suspended active
campaigning last week.
New
York's
primary, with its
prize of 255 delegates, takes on
even more
significance
after last
week's Wisconsin primary failed to
give the Democratic presidential

A Soviet Sojourn
_From
March 1l to March 20,
Marist junior Maureen McGuin-
ness was one of a group of students
and area residents who visited the
Soviet Union with Dr. Casimir
Norkeliunas, professor of German
and Russian. The trip gave the
group a first-hand look at life in
Mikhail Gorbachev's Soviet Union,
where the
.
new openness
of
"glasnost" exists side by
side
with
the deep traditions of Russian
culture. What follows

"The Revolution"
.
We went to the Hermitage to-
day.
h
was exciting to finally see
the places that my high school
history teacher, Brother Deloren-
zo, told me about. I remember lear-·
ning about the Russian Revolution,
but not until today did I fully
understand why it happened.
The Hermitage is tremendous. I
can't believe that people actually
lived there. There is not a mansion-
or estate in our county that is as
elaborate as this one. It has 1,000
•
rooms. Anna told us that if we
were to spend one minute looking
at each piece of art it would take
seven years, non-stop, around the
clock.
Looking at the Hermitage, you
can almost feel the enormous gap
that existed between the elite and
the peasants of Czarist Russia. At
the same time, you're reminded of
the continuing restrictions that
mark the life of common people in
the Soviet Union today.
As I looked around me, I was
reminded of Milan Kundera's
"The Unbearable lightness of Be-
ing." The book tells the story of a
group of people in Czechoslovakia.
They were burdened by the limita-
tions put on them by the. com-
munist system. Because of com-
munism they were not free to make
their own choices, and life became
meaningless for them.
We went to the War Memorial
today. I wasn't going to take any
pictures because I thought ii was
going to be propaganda. Instead it
was a moving tribute to those who
worked to keep Leningrad alive
when it was under siege for 900
days during World War II. There
was a film that showed the people
working and protecting the city.
The people did not have the
same expression that they have to-
day. They looked determined and
proud, but they weren't afraid.
Many of the workers were women
and children. They volunteered to
save the city's artwork, and they
made sure they kept the schools
open ..
These people were Russians and
not Soviets. There is
a
big dif-
ference between the two. I think
that the people are forced to live
two different lives. They are pro-
ud Russians who believe in culture,
family and emotions. They are also
Soviets who are quiet, reserved and
emotionless.
March 16
"The journey to Siberia"
Yesterday we went to the Peter
and Paul Fortress.
It has a
beautiful cathedral.
Ironically,
though,
many
people
were
persecuted there. It was not used
as
a fortress; rather it was a political
prison.
Anna took us into one of the
small, dark, damp prison cells.
While I was standing in the cell, l
realized that Anna had all of our
important documents -
plane
tickets, passports and visas. This
could be a trick, I thought. We
could be kept here as prisoners.
Either we were the finest minds
in the United States, or Marist was
really angry with us. (OK, so
maybe I think-too much. I haven't
watched TV in seven days. I need
some way to entertain myself.) I
While visiting the Soviet Union over Spring Break, Roxanne
Phaneuf took the reins of a horse drawn carriage (above) and
took her commrades Phillip Karpel and Brian Adams for a ride.
In the cut-out, the group's tour guide for the ancient cities of
Vladmir and Suzdal, Natasha, explained some of the historic
sites along the way. The Novodevichi Nunnery (below) in
Moscow was one of the many sites the group visited while they
were in the Russian capital.
(Photos by Shaileen Kopec)
got out of that cell as fast as I
could.
We came to Moscow by train last
night. It was supposed to be a non-
stop trip. Again I had thoughts that
we were real\y being arrested and
sent to Siberia. Many of us were

"A quest for pizza"
We saw the Armory in the
Kremlin today. My understanding
of the revolution was reinforced as
I saw the gold-plated, jeweled
Bibles, gowns, carriages and the
Faberge eggs. Please tell me the
purpose of encrusting Bibles with
pearls, emeralds, rubies, sapphires
and other precious stones?
It was on our quest for pizza that
I encountered

citizens.

we were going

Marsha, our lntourist guide in
Moscow, gave us directions.
Somehow we got lost. Fortunate-
ly, we had Roman, Dan Murphy
and George Masson with us. They
have some understanding of the
language and the alphabet.
We walked, took trolleys and
rode the metro.
tr

hungry before we set out, we were
certainly hungry now, and still no
pizza place in sight. Fortunately,
we stumbled across an ice cream
stand and got huge ice cream bars.
(I
suspect the ice cream contained
goat's· milk and the chocolate
coating tasted more like whipped
prune puree than cocoa.) As we
stood on the street corner eating the
"manna from heaven," Mary Ann
Hayes spotted the pizza restaurant
across the street.
We were told that it was closed
until dinner time. We had to get
back to go to the circus so we
couldn't wait.

"In your own apartment, you

.Joyce, who is a criminal justice

Sansola agrees: .. Most students
who move off campus leave at the
end of sophomore year. They want
to experience living on their own,

One problem that Joyce finds
with living off campus is he feels
somewhat excluded from the cain-

to his home in New Jersey, his
mother them to heim and by rhe
time he gets them it's old news.

"Farewell"
It seems the dollar is the official
currency of tourists in the Soviet
Union. We couldn't use our
roubles at any of the stores our
guides took us to. I even saw
French and German tourists using
the dollar: Why do the Soviets
want our money?

The food

was unbelievable. It was the same
type of stuff they have been giving
us all along - bread, fish, meat,
potatoes and ice cream, but this
had flavor and was of a higher
quality. There was even champagne
and vodka.
Marsha's final words to us were

-puts
reins
on May/est
by Shelley Smith
Mayfest at SUNY New Paltz
is not going to be the wild drink•
ing party that it used to be.
The 13-year-old tradition of
loud mu~ic and lots of drinking
which was attended annually by
hundreds of Marist students, is
now being called Spring Fling
and is only open·to New Paltz
students.
"There is no field show,"
said Linda Witter, a spokesman
for SUNY New Paltz. Instead
the Smithereens will play on
May I, in an auditorium with a
capacity
,of
3,000.
"We are not publicizing it
very much," said Witter. The
college administration docs not
want to sponsor an event that
involves so many people and so
much alcohol.
Last year as many as 20,000
fans drank from cans, kegs and
bottles and listened to Joan Jett
and her rock and roll band. The
number of students at New
Paltz ·is only 7,700.

she said.
"Mostly

Betty Yeaglin, director of college
activities, said she was unaware of
Sharpton's visit before his arrival.
She said she didn't know why he
was at the dance or invited.
Peter Amato, assistant dean of
academic affairs, said he was also
surprised at Sharpton's arrival.
When asked how he felt about the
controversial figure appearing at a
college sponsored event Amato
said:

puzzle
Brawley case called
an issue-of sexism
by Bill Johnson
The media and the public regard
the Tawana Brawley case as too
much a racist issue and not enough
as a sexist issue, according to
Roberta Ottaviani, president of the
Dutchess County Council for
Women.
Speaking at a press conference
last week in the Lowell Thomas
Center, Ottavfani blamed the
media for oversight and neglect by
not giving women enough voice in
the Brawley case, conveying the no.
tion that black men are Brawley's
.
principal spokespersons, instead of
women.
While she has no objection to
male lawyers handling the case, Ot•
taviani said she has had to fight to
make her voice heard at various
public rallies spawned by the con.
troversial case of the black Wapp.
ingers Falls teenager who alleges
she was assaulted by six white men
last fall.
The council's purpose, Ottaviani
said, is to identify women's needs
and concerns and provide advocacy
and referral to women in the Mid-
Hudson Valley. Ottaviani said the
5-year-old council was the first
Dutchess County agency
to
call for
a special prosecutor assigned to the·
Brawley case. Now, she said she is
concerned for Brawley's physical
and psychological welfare, while
black activists, led by the Rev.
Al
Sharpton, refuse to allow
the
girl
to cooperate with authorities.
"It's a sexist
issue,"
Ottaviani
said.
"It's
a female victim who
almost had to prnve she. was a
victim."
Maris! seeks replacements
for 4 residence directors
by
Mark Miller
Four of Marist's five residence
directors will leave Marist before
our next school year begins.
Kathleen Flynn, Katie HenrY,,
Susan Dorr and Mike Seider all will
move on at the conclusion of the
semester.
Steve Sansola, director of hous-
ing, said the large number leaving
does not surprise him.
"There is a high turnover rate,"
he said. "The maximum stay for a
resident director is usually three
years."
E_ac'1
of the. RDs scheduled to
leave has worked atMarist for two
years.
"There's nothing else for me to
do. here," said Kathleen Flynn.
"I've received my masters degree.
I've worked in both the North and
the South End. It's time to move
on."
Marist is now conducting a na•
tional and local search for new resi•
dent directors, according to San•
sola. The applications are due April
16, or until the positions are filled.
Marist is advertising in local papers
and the Chronicle for Higher
Education.
A committee will review the ap•
plications, invite the prospects to
visit the campus and then make
recommendations for hiring.
The new RDs will meet with
those leaving to aid the transition.
"The RD position is unique,"
said Sansola, "in that they can
never get away from their jobs."
''In
a Jive-in position like this,
there is a high burnout rate," said
Fly1_1n.
"It's more than a full~time
job. We work holidays and
weekends. We. Jive with people a
few years younger than us."
According to Sansola, it would
be strange for any of the RDs to
stay longer than two years.

Davis said he was pleased with

experience as the heavyweight-four

by David Blondin
The Marist College men's crew
had a strong ouiing and the
~~!Den's freshman open-eight re-
mai!)ed unbeaten last Saturday
agamst Drexel University in
Philadelphia, Pa.
:
The men's yarsity heavyweights

Flood, Paul Dottinger, Marty Ken-
nedy, Jay Murray and Maureen
·casey
-- won by an impressive
23.8-second margin.
.
in the lightweight-eight n~ce,
Marist's varsity crew took first
while the junior varsity finished se-
cond. The varsity lightweight"Cight
also beat Drexel's heavyweight-
eight in another race.
But Marist can;t rest on its
laurels this
week.
On Saturday they
face 'their biggest test yet against
Ithaca College. "It's one of otir
·toughest
races," said Larry Davis;
head crew coach.
Ithaca is a very deep team with
fast crews which should give Marist
challenging races, said Davis. ''We
just barely edged them last year,"
he said.
''Ithaca wilf be eager to row
against us to prove last year was a
fluke," he added. "We'll have to
really bust our butts in every race
we row."
The weather could be a factor as
well, "Hopefuliy the weather will
stabilize," he said. "April usually
has a lot of thunderstorms. and
wind."
While lth;ica
ic;
a tough test, it is
another j>reparc:tion for thl' Dad
Vail Regatta -
the small colleg.!
equivUant of a national champion-
ship
-'-
which
is held in
Philadelphia from May 12 through
May 14.
"We're coming close to our
climax," said Dottinger, captain of
the crew. "Winning and peaking at
the Dad Vail is our goal."
A point which stresses the impor-
tance of last week's races. One of
tlie most important things about
rowing against Drexel, Davis !;aid,
is the crews row the Dad Vail
course and get ·familiar with it.
"We're slower starters than most
teams," said Davis. "We are mov-
ing faster and each week becomes
critical for us now." But, he said,
he feels
