said Cornette.
While some colleges have one-

requires a full year.
"You need a whole year. You
finally become adjusted after the

Maalouf: "By the second semester
you assimilate into the culture. You

ceremony
by Ilse
Martin
.The Commencement Committee
will study recommendations this
fall to improve graduation-follow-
ing the behavior of a small group
of students
at last spring's
ceremony that some faculty and
students said was embarrassing and
unnecessary.
Donna Berger, executive assis-
tant to the academic vice president
and commencement committee
chairperson, said • she will incor-
• porate the letters she received from
students and faculty who were
disturbed with student behavior
during the May 21 ceremony at
James J. Mccann Recreation
Center.
A
report·wm be submitted
to President Dennis Murray's
Cabinet.
.
• Students and facftlty interttiew-
ed recently ~d corks were popped
and· champagne was sprayed. on
people during the ceremony. •
"I
was surprised' and dissap~
pointed," President Murray said.
"We're going to take steps this year
to make sure that will not.happen
again, even if it means stopping
Commencement and seeing that
they are thrown·out."
Berger said it was difficult ~o
organize the graduates before the
ceremony. The-students were not
seated on the platform in the
planned alphabetical order.
"The students were not involv-
ed in the planning as much as they
were in past years," Berger said.
"The student representation was
poor this year. Their input was just
a few weeks prior to Commence-
ment."
• "I
think it was the lack of respect
to the invited guests of the college
that had most people concerned,"
said Deborah Bell, assistant dean
of student affairs. "Students
should make an effort to·hold off
on the frivolities until after the
ceremony."
Peter Amato, assistant dean of
student affairs, said the actions of
the graduates was rude and
inappropriate.
"Four years of college is no easy
task," said Amato. "And (gradua-
tion) should reflect what this com-
munity is about. It should be about
learning, life-long friendships,
respect and manners, dignity and
pride."
•
Graduates and faculty said some
of the students were trying to coax
the Commencement speaker Thuy
Thanh Vu into ending a lengthy
speech with applause and noise.
The speaker, an editorial assistant
for the San Diego Union, spoke
about her experiences as a refugee
from Vietnam.
Humanities
Chairperson
Richard Atkins said although
graduation should be an occasion
to celebrate, there ought to be
limitations.
"The speaker had a very impor-
tant story to tell and the students
should respect that," Atkins said.
"Enjoy yourself afterwards."
Some graduates said they felt
Commencement was no different
than
any other
graduation
ceremony.
"It
was a little disorgan_ized
and
I couldn't blame the students for
being impatient with the speaker,"
said Tony Sirna, a political science
graduate from Brooklyn, N. Y. "It
wasn't that the students didn't ap-
preciate the trials and tribulations
of this woman. But we were all dy-
ing to get our diplomas and
graduate."
- -
Ann Marie Breslin, a com-
.. munication arts graduate from
Staten Island, said although the
ceremony was too long, it should
have been taken more seriously.
"I
felt embarrassed because
there were parents and faculty there
and on an occasion where we
should be behaving like adults, we
were acting like children," said
Breslin.

Cleary, a defenseman, was a se-

last year after being an honorable

have beeri all-conference his junior
and senior years, said Malet.
"He
was a blue collar-type
player," said Malet. "He was not
a natural athlete but had tremen-
dous work ethic and made himself
an outstanding player. He would
take an opponent who was IO times
better and play him to a draw. He
outsrita,rted the kid. I loved • the
kid."
Cleary was helping a friend in-
stall gutters on the third story of a
build,ng in Long Beach, N.Y.,
whei;{ an 85-foot section of an
aluminum gutter came in contact
with a power line. He received a
shock and fell 30 feet to the
ground.
He was pronounced dead at
Long Beach Memorial Hospital a
half-hour later. Authorities have

Marist, IBM
hook up again
Well, there it is again. The Marist-IBM connection has reared
its head again.
And it's a good thing it did.
In July, Marist and IBM began a joint study that resulted
in the installation of IBM's 3090 model 180 mainframe in the
basement of the Computer Center.
By installing the most powerful computer they manufacture,
IBM has given members of the Marist community a system that
is infinitely more powerful than our previous system.
The plans for this study dictate that this computer will link
the entire campus in a network of fiber optics and computer
terminals by 1990.

The new technology will allow students to access library

For the faculty members part, the paper can be graded and

Of course, IBM did not
give
away its "supercomputer" pure-
ly out of the goodness of its corporate heart. The company
will collect data on the performance of one of its largest pro-
ducts while. it is used by a small to mid-sized customer.
But it is good to see that, in this corporate America that we call

The first twenty years and two

This didn't please us and left us

By 2 p.m. the mammoth lot was
full and the scene could possibly
have been construed as an indigent
man's version of Woodstock.
The atmosphere was, too say the
absolute least, informal.
This definitely could not have
been mistaken as a dignitary party
at the White House.
The outstanding feature of the
day, in my eyes, had to be all of the
free beer I received from friends
and even total strangers.
Of course, it might have been a
little tacky, but nonetheless effec-
tive, had I wrung out my shirt into
the

to

benefactors.
What killed me was the amount
of people who stayed in the park-
ing lot for the duration.
I figured that either the Ken-
tucky sta(e license of their cousin
Ethel didn't work, or they were
very near on the edge of oblivion
in terms of intoxication.

As Che evening progressed and
the dance floor became more like
Wrestlemania III, I looked around
to try and sum up the magnitude
of this tumultous occasion.
I saw faces smiling, hands clap-
ping, drinks spilling and enormous
lines at the bathroom.
What could possibly put this
happening into perspective?
I thought hard
for9IO
seconds,
not wanting to deviate from my
plan of an anti-thinking summer,
and it hit me that this whole thing
was so great because it proved to
me that when we wanted to be,

great.

Wher~ was Dan?
by
Paul O'Sullivan
When Dan Quayle was nam-
ed George Bush's running mate
at last month's Republican
Convention, the media had
a,
field day examining his record.
They
scrutinized
his
background like he was Gary
Hart and found some events
that led many· to question
whether or not he was a
legitimate
vice-presidential
'
candidate.
•
thinking
between
the lines
The most important of these
events was Quayle's entrance in-
to the Indiana National Guard.
_
This kept him out of the draft
and virtually assured him that
he would not be sent to
Vietnam.
The media wanted to know if
Quayle's influential family and
friends pulled any strings to
help him avoid combat. Quayle
protested that he had served his
country honorably and the
means he used to get into the
National Guard were strictly
legitimate.
•
The issue of Quayle's Na-
tional Guard service is not one
of using family influence as
much as it is a question of
character. While he was in col-
lege, Quayle was a firm believer
and supporter of the American
involvement in Vietnam. My
question is: if Quayle supported
the war in Vietnam, why wasn't
he willing to fight for something
he felt was right?
Admittedly, the Vietnam War
was and is a very controversial
subject. There are many dif-
ferent reasons why some men
chose to fight and why some
tried to avoid the draft. But
Quayle's reasons for entering
the National Guard do not mat-
ter. The fact is that he believed
in and supported America's
policy toward Vietnam, but ap-
parently only so long as so-
meone else was doing the
fighting and the dying.
When it came time to make
a personal
sacrifice
for
something he believed in,
Quayle backed off. When he
peeked out his front window
and saw Uncle Sam walking up
the path, he ran out the back
door. This is not
a,
person that
sno!-Jld-,~e !1,.he~l?ea~.,away
.:
.
from the presidency'.
•
But
-
outside of the media
there has been virtually no sup-
port for removing Dan Quayle
from the Republican ticket. In
fact, many see.him as another
public figure being persecuted
by a biased press. It may be an
unfortunate
truth
that
America's acceptance of Quayle
as a legitimate vice-presidential
candidate is a sign that most
Americans are no longer willing
to give of themselves in order to
help their country.
You will
·not
hear George
Bush or Michael Dukakis start
any of their campaign speeches
with "Ask riot what your coun-
try can do for you, ask what
you can do for your country."
.
If they did, it would be political
suicide because that is simply
not what the American people.
want to hear. Americans would
-
rather take the easy way out in-
stead of making a sacrifice to
stand up for something they
know to be right.
Dan Quayle pulled this same
type of hypocrisy when he ran
off to the National Guard to
stay out of Vietnam. He has en-
joyed all the fruits of A.merican
so'ciety, but apparently he feels
that defending that society
against communism should be
left to the inner-city minorities
who enjoy none of the fruits of
the society.
So, it would seem that
America is willing to accept Dan
Quayle as a vice-presidential
candidate because America sees
itself in him. If this is true, it is
a frightful thing to· consider
what America Tomorrow will
look like.

U2 -
the hottest band of the
'80s, the band that beat the Boss
- wrapped up a sold-out U.S. tour
last year, promoting • its latest
album, "The Joshua Tree," which
still has concert-goers mesmerized. •
It has been called a spiritual revela-
tion, an awesome show.
Awesome or spiritual, U2 has
definitely grown to be rock 'n'
roll's savior of the '80s, but why it
took so long for the masses to
realize how extraordinary Bono
and the boys are, is beyond me.
Mullen Jr. 's thunderous drum roll
on "Fire't. from "October" and
Adam Clayton's persistent bass on
"New Year's Day" from "War."
In 1985, we heard Bono's violent
cry of disgust on "Bad," which
was enough for any diehard "Top
40 mongrel" to see the light, and
see it they did, in stadiums and
arenas throughout the country.
However, it was not until last
year, with the release of the ever~
popular "Joshua Tree," that U2
mongrel mania set in. These
mongrels I speak of have the idea
"The Joshua Tree" and U2 are in-

dead wrong.

U2's musical talent is readily ap-

by Karen.
Goettler
Despite plans announced last
year, Marist College radio sta-
tion WMCR will not be broad-
casting over the air for at least
another year, according to sta-
tion leaders.
WMCR
obtained the equip-
ment necessary to go on the air
as a 10-watt station· last year,
unaware that a 1980 Federal
Communications Commission
ruling prevents any station from
going on the air with less than
100
watts.
The station will have to pur-
chase an amplifier in order to
boost its signal to the required
100 watts.
Cindy Lemek, WMCR's
general manager, said students
on campus can still listen to the
station on their stereo with a
cable attachment. Lemek is op-
timistic that the station will
someday make it on the air.
Lemek met with Martha Con-
tee, a consumer specialist from
the FCC, in Washington, D.C.,
this summer to find out what
additional
requirements
WMCR
has to meet.
Contee told Lemek the sta-
tion would also have to pur-
chase emergency broadcast
equipment to transfer listeners
to the primary station of the
area in the event of an
emergency.
Lemek also learned that
paperwork to obtain the license
must be filed and the applic·a-
tion process can take up to one
year due to a backlog at the
FCC.
"I've resigned myself to the
fact that I won't see this station
on the air," said Lemek, a
senior from Tolland, Conn.
Lemek said that the station's
new music format had nothing
to do with the delay in licensing.
She said changes were only
considered when it was thought
the station would have to pro-
ve reasonable need to go on the
air. It was thought that the sta-
tion might affiliate with Na-
tional Public Radio and broad-
cast a public affairs show.
Although
unnecessary,
Lemek is considering doing it
anyway to improve the station.
"I'd like to have it be more
of an educational outlet . on
campus," she said.
Professor
Doug
Cole,
WMCR's
faculty advisor, is not
optimistic that the station will
broadcast on the air any time
soon.
According to Cole, there
would have to be at least a full-
time engineer and possibly a
full-time employee to run the
station.
In addition to this, Cole sug-
gested that legal broadcast con-
sultan ts may have to be
employed to help the station
with the application process and
dealings with the FCC.
Lemek-Said she doesn't think
these problems will have a
negative effect on morale at the
station this year.
She said there was more of a
spirit problem in the spring
when it was first determined
that the station would not be
going on the air. Now she thinks
people are just interested in get-
ting involved with WMCR.
"So far
I
haven't had anyone
say
to
me, 'So when are we go-
ing on the air,' " she said.
"People are just anxious to go
on cable."
Yes, they are good. Four years
ago they were better - seven years
ago, they were phenomenal. Yes,
it's true, U2 has put out more than
one album. In fact, the band has
six, including "Under a Blood Red
Sky," recorded live at Red Rocks,
Colo. Although Bono claims the
first four albums -
"Boy," "Oc-
tober," "War" and "Unforget-
table Firet' - to be experimental,
they reveal the powerful, biting
talent of the band I came to know

Fame and glory are wonderful
things. Loyalty and respect are an

stripped away, as true blue U2 fans
walk away together, singing the
words of their forgotten hero,
"With or without you, we can
live."

Class of '92 adjusts to college /if estyle-
by
Carrie Boyle
After their first week
and
a half
at Marist, most freshman say that
they have taken the transition to
college life in stride.
More than 800 members of the
class of 1992 are adjusting to the
responsibilities of taking care of
themselves, dorm life and master-
ing the use of their free time.
"So far, it's a lot of fun and
work. It's a big change that we all
have to adjust
.td,
but everyone
makes it a lot easier," said Cathy
Mahland from Woodhaven, N.Y.
"lt's a big change. You have a
lot of time and you don't really
know bow to budget it," said Brian
Flannery from Bethpage, N.Y.
Away from the privacy of their
own rooms, some freshmen have
yet to adjust to living with hordes
of 18-year-olds.
"At first I was looking forward
to live in a co-ed dorm, but now I
don't because the guys are really
obnoxious!," said Mitchell.
"Everyone's nice and friendly,
but it's hard to concentrate because
there's always so·mething going
on." said Erin Monaghan, a
freshman from Albany, N.Y.
"Too strict! There's too much
security," said John Serafin from
Locust Valley, N.Y.
However, others are having less
reservations with the changes they
have made.
"I
liked the location and the
campus. It is an easy transition
from high school," said Jason
Menu,
from East Hampton, N.Y.
"I
have more free time."
"I
feel comfortable coming to
Marist because
I didn't
set
any
high
expectations for myself," said
Kasha Mitchell from Old Forge,
N.Y.
"Everything
is going smooth,"
said Reggie Chambers from Hemp-
stead, N.
Y.
"I.
have no com-
plaints."
While the concern of food, liv-
ing conditions and classes seem to
be plaguing some of the class of
1992, others have taken a keen in-
·
terest in one another.
"The guys are hot," said Nicole
Fleckenstein, ·a freshman from
Stony Brook, N.Y.
But then again there are some
who don't take such a keen interest
in one another.
- "The girls are so cold you need
coffee," said Serafin.

Each time, the question was the
same: "Have you signed yet?"
Each time, the answer was the
same: "No, but we're getting
closer."
•.
Each time, the answer came with
a smile, even the 20th_ time.
Rik Smits has heard that ques-
_tion
thousands of times since being
selected by the Indiana Pacers last
June with
.the
second pick in the
NBA draft. He says answering the
questions goes with the territory.

A lot has changed in the last four

When Smits came to Marist in
the fall of 1984, he had heard of the
NBA, but never dreamed of play-
ing in it. Now, he w_ill

against players like Moses Malone,
Akeem Olajuwon and Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, arguably the three
best centers in the world.
"It's a challenge,'' Smits said
durfog a recent autograph-signing
session.
·"I'm
looking forward to
playing against better players."

Smits'confidence was bolstered
by a recent training session with
Jack Sikma of the

Bucks in Seattle.
Smits and Sikma played several
games of one-on~one, and Smits
said he beat the veteran NBA
player. "at will."
.
The Pacers and many people
around the league have described-
Smits as a "project,'' a label that
the 7-foot-4 native of Holland
doesn't think applies.
"I
feel
I
can contribute right
away," said Smits. "l think I'll get
a lot of playing time."
'l'he Pacers have indicated they
want Smits to do more rebounding,
shot-blocking and start the fast
break, a role far different from his

crush Maritime
by Ken Foye
The football team rolled for 311
yards of total offense and set a
school single-game scoring record
while defeating SUNY Maritime
44-
7 in last Saturday's season
opener at Leonidoff Field.
The Red Foxes will travel to
Pleasantville, N.Y. Saturday to
play Pace University. Pace shut out
Marist 13-0 last year.
Against Maritime, the Red Foxes
took a slim 14-7 halftime lead but
then scored four touchdowns and
a safety in the second half to set the
record for team scoring in one
game. The previous record was set
in 1982 when the Red Foxes scored
42 points against Brooklyn College.
Running back Kelly Stroman
scored first for Marist, leaping in-
to the end zone from I yard out
following a short Maritime punt.
. Stroman finished the game with
110 yards on 17 carries and two
touchdowns.
• ·Also in the first quarter, quarter-
back Jason Thomas hit receiver
Tom Flavin with a 47-yard scoring
pass for a 14-0 Maristlead.
. Thomas finished the game
7-for-15 with 110 yards, two
touchdowq passes and no intercep-
tions. He also rushed for
44
yards
and one touchdown.
"To the kids~ .credit, we not on-.
ly had to play Maritime, but we·
also had to play against ghosts to-
. day," said coach fylike Malet,
referring. to last_
season's 2-7 won- •
Jost record. "Our. offensive and
• defensive
lines
reasserted
themselves."
Thomas found • receiver Steve
LoCicero for a 4-yard scoring pass
early in the. third quarter to move
ahead 21-7. LoCicero, who caught
only two passes (both
for
touchdowns) last season due to in-
jury, caught four passes for 31
yards_ on Saturday.
Marist took a 30-7third-quarter
lead following a sack by Mike
Sesselman in Maritime's end zone
for a safety and an 11-yard run by
Thomas,.
Stroman scored his second
rushing touchdo)Vn in the fourth
quarter, a 44-yard scoring ·run .
Junior running back Curt Bailey
closed the scoring with -a 7-yard
touchdown run.
On defense; Mark Schatteman
and linebackers Steve Whelan and
Joe Hagan led the way with six
tackles and one fumble recovery
each. Defensive back Brian Cesca,
moved -into the secondary . from
defensive end this season, had two
tackles and an interception.

Olympics
by Tim Besser
Miroslav Pecarski, who gave up
a year of college eligibility last year
to tryout for the Yugoslavian
Olympic basketball team, returned
to • Marist sooner than expected
after a leg injury resulted in his
release from the Olympic team~
The strained muscle in his left leg
did not respond to treatment as
team officials had hoped, and he
was not on the final roster submit-
ted to the International Olympic
Committee on Sept. 2, Pecarski
said.
"I'm obviously very disap-
pointed after coming so close to
achieving one of . my life-long .
dreams,"
said
Pecarski.
"However, I have to get over it,
and I feel the best way for me to
do that is to return to Marist and
have a great senior year and com-
plete my studies." , ·
• Pecarski, who
began
classes Fri-
day,· led Marist in rebounding as a
junior in -1986-87, with an -average
of 8.4 rebounds per game. He
averaged 12.4 points per game .
"It
was bad luck, bad timing,"
said men's basketball coach Dave
Magarity. "Because of the time ele-
ment the injury had a big bearing."
Harriers face obstacles off course
Pecarski was devastated, said
Magarity.
"I just hope he can deal with the
disappointment,'' said Magarity.

men win anyway
• by Tim Besser
The men's· cross country team
got off to a flying start, winning the
Fairfield Invitational last Saturday
in Fairfield, Conn., despite having
only nine completely healthy run-
1wrs, edging St. Peter's 51-54.
Of 21 runners, 13 are either in-
jured or sick, including Joe Sutka
of Hyde Park, the tcip freshman
recruit, who is out for the season
with tendinitis in both knees, said
coach Rich Stevens. Chris Shea has
a knee injury and is out most of the
season.
"Most of the injuries they
brought with them from high
school,"
said • Stevens. "The
outlook is entirely dependent on
the injury situation."
Kendall was the first Marist run-
ner to finisb, placing fourth in
28:22; the fastest time in on that
course in Marist history. Peter
Pazik held the old mark of30:54. 7,
set in 1984. Randy Giaquinto was
second for the Foxes, followed by
• Jason Vianese,. who was running
sick, Kevin Brennan and Matt
Murphy, who ran with a s~re knee.
The team. will travel
