there has been no feedback from
students regarding the machines'
removal. Students were not con-
sulted when the decision was made
this summer.
•
Students questioned on the issue
admitted they had not noticed the
absence of the machines. Some
smokers, however, were upset at
the move.
•
"I don't think it's right; we're all
of legal age to smoke and we're
also old enough to make our own
decisions," said Dave Cade, a
junior from Amenia, N. Y.
Non-smokers were more in favor
of the decision.
"I think it's a good idea for the
college not to encourage smoking,''

whether or not to sell cigarettes."

charter
A patio behind Champagnat
Hall should be completed this
semester after several projects
delayed its completion over the
summer, according to Anthony
Tarantino, director of facilities.
"We steered away from work on
the patio this summer mainly
because of the Champagnat
renovations," Tarantino said. "We
just could not complete the patio
with all the trailers there." The
patio was scheduled to be ready for
student use this fall.
Tarantino said he estimates the
Sod has been ordered for the
area because it is too late in the year
to plant grass seed.
Another change in plans, Taran-
tino said, is the replacement of the
big rocks with a curb.
"If
students want to play ball or
something back there, l don't want
anyone hitting his head on the
rocks," Tarantino said. "They will
also keep the cars and trucks off
the grass as much as the rocks

·New
teacher recalls Third World
by Karen·
Gorman·
By her junior year at The Col-
lege of New Rochelle Sister Marion
. Boben, the new religio-µs studies
teacher at Marist, decided to join·
the convent and dedicate her life to
helping others.
Boben, at ihe age of 21, went to
Indonesia where for 24 years she •
was involved with education and
religious studies. She spent 15 years
in Jakarta~ the capital of In-
donesia, and earned a bachelor's
degree in religious studies.She also
taught religious studies and english
at Indonesia State University.
Boben and two nuns lived in a
• small house in a Kampung, a low-
income Muslim neighborhood,
where they were involved in com-
munity service.
"In the beginning the residents
. were suspicious that we wanted to
make them Christians," Boben
• said. "After about a year and a
half they accepted us."
Speaking only english, Boben
had to learn the Indonesian
language and customs in a short
time.
"I used elementary school books
to learn the language," said .l;\ohen,
"and I was also learning the
customs of the country from the
books."
•
• According to Boben, the people
of Indonesia were wonderful and
dependent or" other people."
According to Boben, they would
teach the children to buy peanuts,
roast and sell them for profit in-
stead of begging.
Being far away from home for
such a long period of time had its
effect on Boben.
'I had
to
learn to bathe in a river with
no privacy. You have to learn to
laugh at yourself.'
helped her adjust to life in a· foreign
country.
"I had to learn to bathe in a river
with no privacy," said Boben.
"You have to learn to laugh at
yourself. One time I lost a bar of
soap in the water and was furious
with myself. I've bathed in dirty
water - I just take my glasses off."
Aside from teaching, Boben
helped the Indonesians realize the
worth of being people.
"They had to learn their lives are
their own," Bohen said. "We were
helping them to be free and not
"At times of family crisis I
would wish I could be home,"
Boben said.
Boben also spent five years in
Iran where she taught in a pastoral
institute preparing men and women
to be pastors. After her work there
she decided it was time to return
home.
"The shock was coming back,"
Boben said. "Simple things, like
driving a car, writing a check."
According to Boben she kept in
touch with American happenings
as best she could during her 24-year
absence.
"I
would read Time or
Newsweek when I could get it just
to keep up," said Boben.
"I
also
kept in touch with family."
Boben returned to New Rochelle
about a year ago, and while ad-
justing applied for work.
"I
taught a brief course as part
of an adjustment," Boben said. "It
still takes a while for some of the
english words to come back to
me."
Boben has been at Marist for ap-
proximately one month and teaches
four religious classes.
"I'm very impressed with the
open atmosphere, the people are
very accepting here," Boben said.
According to Boben, her ex-
perience in Indonesia was one of
the best times of her life.
<'It was an exchange - they had
to teach me," she said. "I wasn't
going as the giver only. I had to
learn a lot - and I did. I've come
back far richer in an understanding
of the world. I appreciate life much
more."
would."
The patio, which will measure
approximately
JOO
feet by 75 feet,
will have three table and bench
units similar to those on the patio
next to Fontaine Hall. That patio
will receive two more units this
year, Tarantino said.
In addition tc the tables, Taran-
tino said he would like to put a
barbecue grill on: the new patio,
similar to the one behind the
Townhouses.
Students would be able to go out
on the patio on the weekend and
hold a cook-out, Tarantino said.
"Seiler's (the food service com-
pany) could also utilize the space,"
he said. "It's a shame they have to
do their cooking out in front of the
Campus Center. That's like the
front lawn -
the cooking should
be. done in back."

by Molly Ward
After years of waiting, Trung
Phung's dreain finally came true.
On Sept. 9, 1988, the Marist junior
became an American citizen.
Phung, whose new first name is
Matthew, escaped his native Viet-
nam with his two younger brothers
on Sept. 27, 1982.
It-was not the first time Phung's
family had tried to leave Vietnam.
During the first
two
days,
seasickness
was
common. Phung
survived the trip
on two glasses of

In August 1978 at the age of 14,
Phung spent three weeks in . .jail
after his family was caught trying
to escape.
"After I was in jail, I had to
work in a concentration camp and
do hard labor," he said.
The fishermen who sneak people
out of the country charge $3,000
per person. It wasn't until years
after their first attempt the family
had enough money to get-Phung
and his brothers out.
"Sometimes they would try to
trick you and try to make you get
caught so they can keep the
money," said Phung.
Seventy people were crammed
into the 25-foot boat, said Phung.
The passengers had to sit in a
crouched position, scarcely able to
move for the six days it took to get
to Malaysia.
"The days seemed so long," said
Phung. "We had nothing to do ex-
cept look at each other."
Before people were used to the
waves, seasickness was common.
Phung survived the trip on two
glasses of water a day, because the
food they were given was bad.
Despite the difficulties;' Phung
and his fellow passengers could
consider themselves lucky. Pirates
from Thailand often ransack
refugee boats and leave them
stranded, said Phung. Other boats
have had engine trouble and have
had to wait for days for passing
ships.
Phung and his brothers spent
two months in a Malaysian refugee .
camp, while trying to get accep-
tance into the United States. They
were helped by their older brother
Kenneth, who had escaped fro~
Vietnam in 1979, and was living on
Long Island.
After they left Malaysia, the

The college will step up its efforts

on-campus by offering

The program, proposed last year

For once, Brits
play
it straight at debate
by Chris Landry
When the Marist debate team hosts the
British national debate team for its annual
exhibition, the crowd is usually geared up for
a sarcastic free-for-all.
Debaters can score more QOints by blitz~
ing their opponents with callous· remarks
about physical appearance than by executing
cross-examination.
But Oxford University's-Iain Morley, win-
ner· of last year's World Universities
Debating Championship and the No.
I-ranking debater in the world, did not try,
to imitate Benny Hill last Tuesday night in
the Marist College Theater. Instead, he step-
ped up to to the lectern with flaring red
cheeks -
ready to prove to his Yankee
counterparts that American foreign policy
was not offensive.
The crowd of 250 was surprised to see
Morley and his partner Justine Fosh edge
away from Britain's typical off-the-cuff
parliamentary style, to challenge Marist on
a more serious note.
"They caught us off gµard,"
Mike
Buckley, Marist's top debater, said. "We ex-
pected them to be more humorous."
Buckley's partner for the debate was senior
Tom Nesbitt.
The structure of the British debate also dif-
fers from the American. They give straight
speeches and plan their arguments as the
debate transpires, making general statements
for their position. There are no rebuttals,
Fosh, from Scotland's Strathclyde Univer-
sity, said.
"We keep the issues as broad as possible,"
Fash said, "while the Americans are very
much in-depth."
•
The British said_
they opted for the serious
style only because they thought the Marist
audience expected it.
"They assumed that American audiences
were used to the American style of debate,''
Jim Springston, director of debate, said.
"They thought it would be hostile to use their
style."
In effect, this overseas confrontation,
which is used as a recruiting device for the
Marist team, is the only Marist debate that
draws an audience. The crowd expected the
"Monty Python-like" British humor they
had witnessed in the three previous matches.
Marist was the first stop on a two-month
tour that will take the duo of Morley and
Fosh to 20 American universities and col-
leges. Fash admits that intimidation may
have also influenced her team's decision to
hide its British wit.
"We were a little apprehensive to use our
own style because we were on their home
turf," Fosh said.
"It
was intimidating at the
beginning when all their debaters stood up."
But not all witty remarks were withheld.
Nesbitt used issues like American involve-
ment in the Iran Contra affair and the coun-
try's apathy towards Panama's drug traffick-
ing to support M;uist's position.
Speaking of President Reagan and the na-
tion's drug problem, Nesbitt said: "No
wonder he was elected to a second term -
we were all on drugs."
Fosh began to lighten the mood in her first
negative argument by bringing up foreign
policy issues that she and Nesbitt had discuss-
ed the night before at the popular Marist
nightspot Skinner's.
After Nesbitt asked Fosh to repeat her
resolution that American foreign policy was
used to spread democracy's goodness, Fosh
told him to "pay a bit more attention and
stop drinking so much."
Buckley got in the act by kneeling down
and bowing to Morley, calling him the "best
in the world."
Morley, the most serious debater, reliev-
ed the crowd of the Theater's heat with the
most entertaining line of an otherwise intense
night. He approached the lectern and thank-
ed the "giant ego (Buckley) and the giant
restaurant (Nesbitt) that spoke before him."
But one or two jokes pointed at physical
shortcomings was simply not enough for the
British team to get the win, Springston said.
"It
was real clear that we won,"
Springston said. "You're not going to beat
us playing our game plan."
The British team may not go back to Bri-
tain without capturing
a victory
in
Poughkeepsie. They said they want a
rematch after their American tour ends in
November.

The right to • vote
On Sunday night, George Bush and Michael Dukakis squared
off in Winston-Salem, N.C., in a debate to try and impress the
American voting public.
Unfortunately, many of the members of that voting public are
caught in a trend that includes political apathy and a general lack
of interest in their government. Thus, many will not take advan-
tage of their right to choose their political leaders when national
and local elections are held on November 8.
In recent years, the American public has neglected their right
to vote. Voter turnout in many recent elections was less than
SO
percent.
Across the globe, people are being supressed by governments
that have been forced on them; In the United States, each in-
dividual has the ability to pick and choose who we feel will best
represent and lead our nation, but many of us do not.
Rather than take an active part in the election process, many
of us sit back and watch - willing to complain when the time
is right but not willing to do anything about· it.
As college students, we are members of the voting public -
whether we realize it or not. While some of us are registered to
vote and take part
in
the election process, a greater number of
us tend to follow the recent trend. We abapdon our right to vote
and have slowly become the silent majority.
This should change.
.
While we are at school, we tend to forget about many of the
events going on around us. Unfortunately, political elections are
included.
•
Currently, a voter registration drive is taking place on campus
and those of us who are not planning on participating in this year's
election should re-think their positions.
.The United States, as said by members of the British National
Debate Team at last week,s debate in the Theater, is looked up
to by other western nations as the premiere democracy.
What a disappointment it must be for them to see this country
struggle through an election year with low voter registration and
even lower voter turnout.
Let's start reversing the trend.

The only aswer that I could come
up with is that Marist is unknow-

You would think, that since a
number of students fell last
semester and at least one had to be
taken to the hospital, Marist would
try to do something to alleviate this
situation. But I have yet to see
anyone take action to try and solve
the problem.
Seeing that I am one of the many

Siiidents tell tales of learning, fun
overseas
by Carrie Boyle
Saying good-bye is tough.
'~Leavi~g horµe for months upon

thought that coming home would
be }ust as hard?
.
. After being exposed to European
cultures for nine months, the 13
Marist Abroad students return this
year to resume their .American
lifestyles.
"I felt like I belonged," said
MacLellan, a senior from Trum-
bull, Conn. "When· leaving, it felt
like I was going on a trip, and that
I'd be coming back home -
to
England."
•
.Two days after
getting
settled in,
MacLellan went on a five-day trip
from England to Munich, West
Germany to experience the German
way of partying -
Octoberfest.
Reminiscing about his trip to
Germany, MacLellan tells of a rude

ever had in my life."
"I
felt like
I
was in Disneyland,"
said Mark O'Neill, who studied at
Royal Holloway College in Lon-
don. "There's no other building
here . that l can equate Royal
Holloway to."
O'Neill recalls not feeling very
welcome on his firt day in England.
He and
an
American he had met on LM-._....,......,...,
a
train went to get something to eat
in a pub where they met an English
man. After O'Neill told the man
that he was an American, the man
replied, "Oh, I guess that can't be
helped."
After that things started looking
up.
O'Neill played for the college's
basketball team. By his last term he
was coaching the team. "They
don't have much knowledge of the
game," said O'Neill. "They're
good playe:rs, but they're not
technically sound," said O'Neill.
Vinny Cimino, a senior from
Monroe, N.Y., spent his nine
months studying and playing rugby
at St. Patrick's University in
Maynooth, Ireland.
Being an American
in a
classroom with Irish students
didn't seem to phase Cimino in the
least bit.
Above, Josephine Miluso (se-
cond from left) visits St. Mar-
co's Square in Venice, Italy with
friends she met while studying
abroad. Mark O'Neill (right) at
the top of Mount Kenya, 15,700

Mark O'Neill and Kevin MacLellan visit Loch Ness, the home of
Scotland's mythical monster.
"The best way that I found to
meet people," said Cimino~ "was
to go to class five minutes late, and
sit next to someone I didn't know
and start talking to them."

around the classroom saying where
they were from, and Miluso said
that the classed ooohed and aahh-

"I
didn't want to leave.
I
had to

Josephine Miluso, who attended
La Scuola Artisica Per La Moda in
Milano, Italy.
"I
needed another

10
months is not enough. A good two
years of living there really does you
good."

leave my new home," said Kevin
MacLellan, who attended Brighton
Polytechnic in England.
awakening while staying at a Youth
Hostel in Munich. He said that for
$30 a night he and 11 other people
stayed in a five-person room. The
next morning at 7:30 a.m., they
awoke to a German man's voice
screaming over the loud speaker:
"GET UP. GET OUT. YOU.
MUST GO TO BREAKFAST.
GET OUT .. YOlJ MUST GET
OUT.IT IS COLD. IT IS RAIN-
ING. IT 'nOES NOT MA TIER.
YOU MUST GET OUT!"
"Octoberfest was the best trip,"
For Maclellan, it wasn't that
easy.
"In the beginning no one talked
to me. They stared at me. Usually
it was because I was wearing bright
colored clothes, instead of the
dreary black and grey that they
wore. I felt like an outsider. When .
American topics came up in class,
I felt that I should add my input,"
said•Mactellan.

Miluso explained that school
went from nine in the morning to
five in the evening. There were cap-
puchino breaks in the morning plus
a two-hour break for lunch in the
afternoon.
"There was a communication
problem in class," Miluso said.
"Not that I couldn't understand
them, but they couldn't understand
me. My Italian was different from
tneirs," said Miluso.

"You put a lot more work out-

Natalie Merchant.
Although she refuses to imitate
baby talk, pretend to be skinny or
rely solely on sex appeal for suc-
cess,
Merchant
has sung her way to
the top (of my list) through a purely
melodic form of storytelling and
sincerety in her music.

INVESTMENT WHEN WE SEE ONE
.
Merchant, the sole vocalist for
10,000
Maniacs, struggles with the
notions
of ideology and despair
in
the Maniacs second album releas-
ed last year, "In My Tribe." In
songs such as "Cherry Tree" and
"Don't
Talk" Merchant sings of
the
desperate lives of
illiterates
and
alcoholics. In "Peace Train" we
see a sign of hope with lyrics such
-
as, "I've been happy lately think-
ing of the good things to come, and
I believe it could be, something
good has begun."
Interestingly enough, Merchant
borrows these lyrics from Cat
Stevens'.

in
1971, nearing the end of
the
radical
'60s era. During this time, there
was a great search for peace, love
and freedom. Unfortunately, wars,
assassinations and racism often
prevailed. It seems, however, that
Merchant is appealing to· today's
generation to begin searching again
and indeed, many have predicted
the oncoming '90s to be somewhat
of a reincarnation of the '60s.
In "Hey Jack Kerouac," Mer-
•
chant reminds us of the beatnik
generation such as Kerouac himself
and Allen Ginsberg. In the last line
of the song, Merchant sings,
"You've
gone away without saying
goodbye." Again she seems to be
pleading for the emotion and lust·
•
for life that overwhelmed the '60s
generation. The beatnik boys left
without a goodbye. They didn't
finish the job. Insteati, Merchant
sings; "They sit and rattle their
bones and think of their blood-
stoned days." While they sit and
rattle, perhaps it is time for others
to clean up the mess.
Yes, you're right. Maybe I'm
reading into this
a
bit much. Maybe
I'm using the 10,000 Maniacs as a

Different as
night and
ct·ay
by Tim Besser
Monday at the Summer Olym-
pics was as different as night and
day ..
To begin the day, sprinter Ben
Johnson of Canada was stripped of
his gold medal from the 100 meters
after he tested positive for steroids.
The gold was then awarded to
American Carl Lewis, putting him
back
·on
track to repeat his
four-
gold medal performace of the 1984
games in Los Angeles.
Later that same night we saw the
side of'the Olympics that people
want to remember. American diver
Greg Louganis,
•
who won gold
medals in the springboard and plat-
form at LA, went to the top of the
10 meter tower
for
his final dive
trailing Xiong Mi of China, who
had just completed a spectacular
final dive. Louganis followed with
a dive that is almost indescribable.
Amid all the pressure he nailed on
of the best dives of his career to win
the gold by just over one point.
Two radically different moments
that have come to symbolize
athletic competition.
Johnson had won the 100 meters
in world-record time, reaching the
tape in just 9.87 seconds. He was
the world's fastest human. Now all
that is gone. Like the gold, the
world record was taken off the
books almost before the ink had
dried. The sight of Johnson, sur-
rounded by guards, hurrying to a
plane at Kimpo airport with his
head down is cause for shame.
Shame thai a man
-would
allow
himself to become so obsessed
with
winning a competition
·that
he
would take that risk. He
.was
not
alone.
.
•
The Bulgarian weightlifting
team
left the Games last week after
a
se-
cond lifter was disqualified and his
medal stripped when
a
diuretic was·
discovered in his urine in a post-
competition drug test.
Some of the athletes say drug use
among international competitors is
rampant, that the number-exceeds
even the most wild estimates.
The idea behind competition is
that the best athlete will win. Now,
is it the athlete with the best phar-
micist that wins?
Johnson was caught. That,
among some athletes, is the sin.
Not using performance-enhancing
drugs, but getting caught using
them. Johnson disgraced himself,
his
country and ultimately the
Games.
·
t
•
It is refreshing on a day with
such negative news to see a shining
light like Louganis, a symbol of
what the Olympics are all about.
Louganis, 28 and in his third
-Olympiad,
foot a tough battle with
the China:manduring. the last five
dives of the 10-dive final.
When Louganis climbed the
•
tower for his final dive, you could
feel the pressure. As he walked
to
the edge of the platform you had
a feeling he could do it, somehow
he would do it.
Summoning his years of ex-
perience Louganis stole the gold
from his young competitor. He
cried on his coach's shoulder. The
best athlete had won.
When you think of past Olym-
pics you think of Bob Beamon
soaring over
29
feet in the long
jump at Mexico City in 1968, Mark
Spitz swimming to seven gold
medals in Munich in 1972, Nadia
Comenici capturing the hearts of
the world in Montreal in 1976, the
abomination
of the
U
.S.-led
boycott in Moscow in 1980 and the
Soviet-_led
boycott of the LA games
in 1984.
When the world looks back on
the Seoul games in
1988,
will it
remember the splendor of Greg
Louganis, or the disgrace of Ben
Johnson?

No. 9 Adelphi
'blanks
hooters·
by Ken Foye
T_be Marist College soccer team
is getting a lot of bad bounces
lately.
The Red Foxes, 1-5 overall and
0-3 in the Northeast Conference,
lost a non-conference game to
nationally-ranked Adelphi 2-0 last
Saturday. It was the Red Foxes'
fourth consecutive loss.
The results of Tuesday's game
against Fordham were unavailable
•
at press time. The Red Foxes' next
game is Saturday at Oneonta State
at I p.m.
In North.east Conference news,
St. Francis (N.
Y.)
was declared in-
. eligible for any postseason play
because the college did not field the
required six women's teams during
the past academic year, said Bob
Steitz,. associate
,commisioner
of
the Northeast Conference.
-
Because the Terriers are ineligi-
ble for postseason play', games they
play against conference opponents
will not be included in the con-
ference standings, according to
Steitz. The ruling applies
_to
all
sports, not just soccer.
Since Marist is ineligible for
postseason basketball play, six of
the. seven remaining conference
teams will qualify for the con-
ference tournament in March, to
determine which team will get a bid
to the NCAA tournament.
In the Adelphi garre -
as in
Marist's previous game, a 3-1 loss
to Robert Morris - the Red Foxes
played well, but their opponents
just played better, said coach
Howard Goldman.
"We had a good day, but they·
had a better :me," Goldman said.
"For a while it was anybody's
game, but they scored their first
goal (in the first
•
half) and that
helped their confidence."
Adelphi was ranked ninth in the
country going into the game.
Goldman said
•
that freshman
defender Phil O'Hara was Marist's
standout player against Adc;lphi.
O'Hara, who stands
5
feet, 8 inches
tall and weighs 140 pounds was
outstanding marking Adelphi's top
scorer, Duane Robinson. Robin-
son, however, managed one of
Adelphi's two goals.
Offensively, the Red Foxes con-
tinued their season-long scoring
drought.

.
"We had three or four good op-
portunities," Goldman said. "In
one case their goalkeeper made a
horrendous mistake but we didn't
capitalize."
Marist has scored more than one
goal in a game only once this
season -
in. their only victory of
the season, a 2-1 win over Fairfield
on Sept. 8.
Marist's next conference game
will be against Loyola on Oct. 15.
Loyola earned a berth in the
NCAA tournament last season.
After that game, the Red Foxes'
only other conference game will
be
against Long Island University on
Oct. 26. LIU also made the tour-
nament last season. Both games are
away.
Crew Opens with strong showing· at Head of Hudson
by Tim Besser'
The crew team rowed its way to
first, second and fourth_
.place
finishes at the Head of the Hudson
Regatta last Saturday at Albany.
The mixed eight completed the
3.3 mile
course
in 19:45
to
take first
place
by
more than- two minutes
over Community
Rowing of
Boston, one of the clubs that par-
ticipated in the regatta.
The Red Foxes boat of (bow to
stern) Cathy Fazzino, Mary Beth
Wood, Jesse Valente, Elizabeth
Murphy, Ed Fludd, Mike Longo,
John Andreasen and Jay Murray
fin\shed the c9urse in 21 :56, com-
pared to Community Rowing's
23:57. SUNY Albany's boats plac-
ed third and fourth. Skidmore was
fifth.
The four men in the boat had
.
just finished rowing the men's eight
and did not have
.the
usual break
befo.re the
mixed
race. They did not
·even have a chance to get out of the
boat, something
•.
that concerned
coach Larry Davis.
"They were on the water two
.
hours due to an equipment pro-
blem waiting for the first race,"
said Davis. "They just came to the
dock and the four wom~n got in.
Then they had to wait another hour
to start that race. It is like sitting

University last Saturday. The Red Foxes won 10-4.

on a bleacher for three hours, not
to mention rowing two three-mile
races."
The team started in the back of
the pack and worked its way up to
the lead, winning going away, said
Davis.
•
The
women's eight, composed of
(bow
to stern) Fazzino, Wood,
Murphy, Karen Groves, Yvonne
Hedrick, Kelli Martin, Valente and
Sarah Brown and coxswain Rachel
Farrar, beat all the college teams,
losing only to Community Rowing.
Commu~ity turned_ in a time of
20:42, followed by Marist (21 :06),
Ithaca (21:06), Skidmore (22:18)
and SUNY Albany (23:02).
"It is the first time we beat
Ithaca in the heavyweight eight in
10 years," said Davis. "We·beat
them jn lightweight and
jay.vee
but
hadn't beat
their first boat. We
beat
them
by
a fair margin. Ten •
seconds is three-four boat lengths."
Ithaca won the men's
eight
in
19:45, followed by Skidmore
(20:03), Ithaca (20:04), Marist
(20:18)
and SUNY Albany (20:59).
The team of (bow to stern) Ed
Miller, Ryan Applegate, Rob Jean-
net, Bob Hunt, Fludd, Longo, An-
dreasan and Murray with coxswain
Calabaro is, like the other teams,
inexperienced after losing several
rowers to graduation.
The
teams
began
rowing together
earlier this'inonth. They perform-.
ed a little better than they were
ex-
.
pected to, said Davis.

The teani is tentatively schedul-
ed to compete Oct. 15 at Long
-
Beach, N.Y;, in the Head of the
Long Island Regatta.

Ceriello keeps women running
by Kevin St.Onge
She was sitting on the curb in
front of the McCann Center wear-
ing running shoes and shorts, taik-
ing to members of the women's
cross country team. She could have
passed for a junior or a senior ru·n-
ner, but one thing set her apart
from the other.girls sitting on. the
curb, her son Billy,
2 1/2,
was kick-
ing a soccer ball ar9und in the field
opposite them. "Yeh, he was born
into an athletic family, he loves the
Mets,
especially
(Darryl)
Strawberry but he'll probably be a
runner like his parents." she said.
Billy's mother is Maryanne
Ceriello, the new coach of the Lady
Red- Fox cross country team.
Ceriello came to the team a week
into the season but the late start has
not dampened her enthusiam.
"We have a young team
.with·
three freshman and only one
senior, but the girls know they will
be competing every week so they
can relax and simply perform to the
best of their ability," Ceriello said.
The Ceriello family is quite ac-
tive. Maryanne's husband Ken,
_
was recruited by men's cross coun-
try coach Rich Stevens some 10
years ago. Maryanne is a fitness
supervisor across Rout 9 at All
Sport Health and Fitness. Ceriello
comes to Marist by way of Cor-
tland State, where she ran track
and majored in physical education.
•"In
high school I was more of
a sprinter but
a$
I went through
colJege, I started running longer
distances for the fitness aspect of
the activity and that has carried
over into my everyday life up at
All
Sport," says coach Ceriello.
Pam White, last year's coach
was a co-worker of Ceriello's at
All
Sport. "When Pam had the oppor-
tunity to coach at West Point, and
the Marist posistion opened up I
said, 'why not?' " said Ceriello. "I
coached high school for a couple
of years in the Syracuse area and
the thought of coaching on college
level sounded appealing.
"College runners are fun people
to be around. The girls are here
because they love the sport and
they want to improve themselves.
My position
_as
coach is to provide
them with the proper training to do
just that."
Harriers win· an~ther King's Invitational
by Kevin St.Onge
The running Red Foxes have
sprinted to a 26 and 2 record after
only three meets, defeating i3
teams including St. Peter's College,
while the lady Foxes entered two
runners at the King's Invitational
meet, last Saturday.
Winning the King's Invitational
has become a tradition for Marist
as the Foxes ran away with first
place for the third year nmning.
Plagued by sickness and previous
committments, the women fielded
a team of two runners. Senior,
Trish Webster placed 16th with a
time of 20 minutes, 11 seconds.
Her freshman runningmate, Megan
Bell, covered the 3.1 mile course in
21:32.
•
Women's coach, Maryanne
Ceriello, was pleased with their ef-
fort. "Running without a team is
tough but Trish and Megan im-
pressed me with their determina-
tion, Megan and I set a goal of cut-
ting her time by twenty seconds and
she shaved 22 off her previous
best."
What was expected to be a very
-
close meet against rival St. Peter's
turned out to be a convincing vic-
tory for the men. After exchanging
victories early in the season, the
two teams faced met for the third
time in as many weeks and the
Foxes downed St. Peter's by 41.
Scott ~endall again led a deter-
mined ~arist squad, placing sixth
in 27 :06. Coach Rich Stevens last
week predicted the return of Peter
Antes to the varsity lineup would
impact the race, and he was right
as Antes placed a solid 10th in
27:31.
Freshman Shane Pidgeon's first
effort coming off the injury list was
impressive with
a
17th place show-
ing while sophomore J\,like Coakley
may sti11 be hampered by a sore
ankle as he finished 37th but with
a respectable time of 28:56.
Marist was able to place eight
runners in the top 50 of a 96 run-
ner field. The next meet is October
1st; the Lemoyne Invitational.
Race time is noon .
