Debaters square. off as Election Day nears
by Karen Goettler
The issue of whether the presi-
dent of the United
·states
is above
the law was one that could not be
agreed upori by Republican and
Democratic repres~ntatives, in a
mock· presidential· debate the
.
Political Science
.Club
sponsored
last Wednesday.
The debate had
a
format similar
to the actual presidential debate.
The participants were asked-by
moderator David Mccraw, pro-
fessor of journalism, to make an
opening· statement addressing the
restoration of peace and values in
the world.
.
After the opening statements
they responded to questions posed
by the panel, which consisted of
Myers, Zucarello, Wendy Smith
and Tony Cusa, both two political
science majors.
Dr. Roscoe Balch,
.professor
of
history, and Marc Eisenhauer, a
senior political· science major,
represented the Republican side
while John White, professor of
history, and Michael Buckley, a
junior political science major,
presented
the·
Democratic
viewpoint.
Foreign policy and ethics were
the issues being debated. The ques-
tion of whether a political leader
should be above the law was rais-
ed by Dr. Joanne Myers, professor
of political science and a member
of the four-person panel question-
ing the debaters.
Balch said it would depend on
the law, but some laws may need
to be broken carefully, and he said
the sale of arms to Iran was legal.
Buckley replied that the United
States broke the law in the sale to
Iran, and the president is suppos-
ed to be the "head lawmaker, not
head
.lawhreaker."
During the debate Buckley and
White declared that the Reagan ad-
ministration had kept too many
facts hidden from the public and

that a George Bush administrator
was likely to do the same.
Balch said people who believed
they knew about everything going
on
in
the political arena had too
high an opinion of politicians.
-
Dr. Louis Zucarello, professor
of political science and another
member of the panel, raised the
issue of Michael Dukakis' ability to
deal with leaders from nations like
Great Britain and the Soviet Union.
White responded that Dukakis
would not have any trouble deal-
ing with them while Eisenhauer
said that since Dukakis couldn't
count on support from residents in
his own state of Massachusetts he
wouldn't get support from interna-
tional leaders.
When Cusa raised the question
of how Dan Quayle would react to
a crisis that gave him the presiden-
tial power, Eisenhauer responded
that it wouldn't be a problem
because Quayle has as much ex-
perience in decision-making as
Dukakis' running mate, Lloyd
Bentsen.
The audience cheered White
when he replied. that if Bush
-was
president he
.would
change his
previous stance on a policy and in-
sist on prayer in public schools to
pray for the health of the president,
so Quayle would never gain power.
Four local bars hit

Vassar College professor Mark

in what is believed lo be one of the
largest settlements in New York

Schlessman 's 33-year-old wife,
Dr. Joy Baisinger, was killed in Ju-
ly of 1984
by
Stephen Kane, after
a night of bachelor-party bar hop-
ping. In 1985 Kane was sentenced
to a year in jail.
The bars attended by Kane in-

The Dram Shop Act allows a
tavern.to be held responsible if it
knowingly sells alcohol to an intox-

another person.
Although Kane drank at several
bars during the evening, testimony
in the case revealed he drank the
most at Bertie's. Schlessman is to
receive more than $4 million from
that establishment; $350,000 from
Kane's insurance; $50,000 from

created increased room for student
use in the Library.
John McGinty, the library direc-
tor,
said
even more seats could be
added but including more chairs
could cause more problems. One
problem that could occur, accor-

·is
that space

Thomas office crunch
to be q/leviated soon
by Ilse Martin
To solve the problem of limited
office space in the Lowell Thomas
Communications Center, four new
offices will be constructed to ac-
comodate additional faculty before
the end of the semester, according
to college officials.
The room adjacent to room 210
will be transt"ormed into four
separate offices, three for faculty
and one for post television produc-
tion use, according to Linda Cool,
assistant academic vice president.
The college plans to have Mary
Louise Bopp, assistant professor of
communications, use one of the
new offices. The other two offices
may be used by two new adjunct
faculty, Douglas and Judith Brush,
both communication consultants.
Students may have difficulty
contacting their professors because
of the shifting and relocating of
some faculty.
James Springston, assistant pro-
fessor of communication and direc-
tor of the debate team, moved
from room 214 to room 136. The
second floor office was too small
_
for debate meetings and could not
accomodate all of the team's books
anJ trophies, Springston said.
.
"In the lilt le office upstairs we
were cramming 6 or 7 people in and
the noise was disturbing to other
people down the hall," he said.
"And we have meetings at all hours
of the day and night."
'All,>Jrt
Stridsberg, assistant pro-
fessor of advertising, has moved in-
to Springston's old office.

S.M.
Khatib, associate professor
of communication, had his office
set up in the conference room, 210,
for the first half of the semester.
Since then he has moved into room
215.
•
Douglas Cole, professor of com-
munication, moved from room 215
tp one section of room 2IO.
"It's just been musical chairs,"
said Bopp, who has moved three
times in the last three semesters,
and is currently situated in the
Beirne Media Center.

ly feel comfortable because I feel

Tough dorm policy sets·off protests at BU
by Use Martin and Paul O'Sullivan
If you've ever complained about

ty will implement a new policy re-
quiring all guests to leave dor-

The
•widening
of Route 9 in
front of Marist is one project
that would be financed through
a $3 billion transportation bond
issue, which New York voters
will decide Nov. 8.
The four-year, $34.5 million
project would widen three miles .
of Route. 9 to four lanes from
Delafield Street in Poughkeep-
sie to St. Andrew's Road in
Hyde Park.
Despite concern about which
direction the highway expands,
President Dennis Murray said
this week he will vote in favor
of the bond issue.
Describing t~e busy road as
bottlenecked and unsafe, Mur-
ray said: "It's inevitable at some
point that Route 9 in front of
the college is going to have to
be improved. If widened cor-
rectly, we think the Route 9 im-
provement would be a plus for
the college.''
Murray said he favors expan-
sion to the east of the road,
although that may eliminate the

onto the main campus could in-
terfere with the Gatehouse and
the stone wall near it. Murray
said the college has applied to

Opinions about what's righ~ -
•
and more often, what's wrong -
about the events afforded for stu-
dent entertainment at Marist are as
diversified
as
the
student
population.
Attendance is down and admis-
sion prices are up for student ac-
tivities this year, according to Rob
McComiskey, chairperson for the
Social Committee. However, he
said prices arc not expensive com-
pared to what students
pay
elsewhere.
"The students have to change
their attitudes about events," he
said. "They just don't know what
they're missing.''
"I think that the number of stu-
dent activities is good," said John
Halko, a graduate student from
Boonton, N.J., who is in his fifth
year at Marist. "But I think the
cooperation that the students get
from the-college is preuy bad."
Betty Yeaglin, director of Stu

dent Activities, disagrees. "The
College Union Board and other
organizations here at Marist pret-
ty much pick their own events,"
she said. "We don't intervene
unless we feel very strongly that the
event was
.either
inappropriate or
unreasonably expensive."
''Our job here is to coordinate
the activities," said Bob Lynch,
assistant
_
director of Student
Activities.
The student's $50 activities fee is
·divided
among various organiza-
tions. Some 38 percent goes to the
student
government
financial
board which funds clubs and spor-
ting events while CUB receives 21
percent and the McCann Center 20
percent. Some 19 percent is held in
a discretionary fund used for
special programming with the re-
maining 2 percent being going
toward operating costs.
$300,000 is available for student
activities this year which include
sports, movies, dances, live music,
lectures and _magicians. "What's
important is that the students
realize that there is a lot of things
going on here on campus," Lynch
said.
Even with the variety of events,
the turnout
is poor. Walter
Jenkins, a senior from the Bronx,
offered this reason. "There's no
alcoholic beverages," he said.
"It's hard to get people to come
to events without alcohol," said
Mike Dunn, president of CUB.
"We're fighting things like the par-
ties at the river."
Lynch said alcohol used to at-
tract students to the events. "We
know that in the past alcohol was
a big draw," he said, "but that's
not the way anymore."
Because of the large number of
students who are under the legal
drinking age, the college does not
allow alcohol
to
he served at events
other than those specifically geared
to the over-21
crowd.
''So our challenge is to get peo-
ple away from the river,"
said
Dunn, "but also to reach the peo-
ple who are up in their rooms."
The lack of big-name talent on
campus also deters students from
attending events. "We're working
on getting bigger name talent,"
said Dunn "but we have to be
careful. If it turns out to be a bomb
-
and that's what happened -
then we've blown a good part of
the budget."
Yeaglin supports Dunn's cau-
tion. "We're supposed to do a lot
of overall programming. If you get
one big-name talent you can blow
65 percent of the CUB budget. You
can't take and put all your eggs in
one basket," he said.
In order to secure better known
talents and ensure the funding of
other events, larger student turnout
and increased admission prices
would be necessary.
Lynch said he is open to student
suggestion. "If students have an
idea or a program that could affect
the Marist community in a positive
way, we're willing to work with
them," he said.
Upcoming events on campus are
listed in the Weekly Happenings
and the bulJetin boards around

Prof.· Lewis
set to write
art textbook
by
Rod Jubert
For the past Jive years, Richard
Lewis, an ·assistant • professor at
Marist; hasn't been satisfied with •
the current Arts and Values text.
Now he is writing his own. •
"The students have always ex-
pressed a disatisfaction with the
text we used here, and I guess I've
shared their disatisfactioii," said
Lewis.
Lewis and his wife, Susan Ingalls
Lewis, author, artist, and holder of
an art history degree from W elsley
College, were approached by Har-
court, Brace and Yevankovich, a
publishing house based in San
Diego, i'!.
1985
about writing the
book.
Both the Lewises have experience
in publishing, and Richard Lewis
believes this is why the publishers
approached them. "Many would-
be authors are appalled when they
find out what's involved in putting
out a book."
Proposals for the book, which is
to contain 600 illustrations - 200
in color - and approximately 500
pages of manuscript, were submit-
ted by the Lewises in
1987.
They
received the go-ahead from the
publisher last summer.
The Lewises have a December
1990 deadline, with publication ex-
pected in January
1992.
The first
run of the edition will consist of
20,000 copies - an unusually high
number for a book of this type.
The book will be popular and fill
a definite need on college cam-
puses, said Lewis.

The second section will em-
phasize the great themes of art,
such as art and religion and art and
family. This portion of the book is
·designe_d
to offer "a more global
perspective," said Lewis.
The third part will focus on the
history of art and will explain art
in its socio-cultural context. "This
is tile heart of the book," Lewis
said.

The epilogue will be a study in
aesthetics designed to help readers
to make their own decisions about

November 3, 1988- THE CIRCLE - Page 5
Marist's Media Day
Politics, career advice
top agenda at conj erence
by Karen Cicero
The media's effect on the elections and
breaking into the communications business
were the topics discussed by panelists and
more than 100 students at The Radio and
Television News Directors Association Con-
ference held Saturday at Marist College.
The day-long event, coordinated by
Robert Norman, an associate professor of
communication, also featured two awards
presentations at a luncheon held that after-
noon in the River Room.
Bill O'Reilly, ABC-TV news correspon-
dent and 1971 graduate, received the Marist
Alumni Award for Excellence in News
Reporting during the luncheon. Senior An-
drea Kines was named the winner of the stu-
dent essay contest which focused on the
media's
involvement
in electing the
president.
A 90-minute discussion on the topic "The
Media and the Election Process" began the
day-long conference. Six panelists address-
ed the issue in front of the more than
200
people who gathered in the Theater for the
morning seminar.
"We grossly exaggerate the importance of
the media to individuals," said David
Mccraw, director of journalism at Marist.
The media covered the
1988
presidential
election well, he said, adding that it's the
public and the candidates who haven't fulfill-
ed their duty.
"The public has not held up their end of
the bargain," he said.
O'Reilly agreed and referred to Americans
as apathetic about this election. "Most peo-
ple would rather watch One Life to Live and
the life they're living doesn't include political
interests," he said.
O'Reilly said people who do vote base
their decision on emotional issues.
Art Athens, managing editor of WCBS
Newsradio in New York City, described his
ideas about people's decisions by saying:
"People like to root. for the underdog, but
they also want to be with the winner."
Dr. Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist
Institute for Public Opinion, cautioned
viewers about the motives of media outlets
that conduct their own polls. •
"The networks are making news instead
of reporting it,''. he said. "This deprives the
media of their role as guardians for the
public."
He referred to the Dukakis Tracking Polls,
which are used on some major network
broadcasts, when he expressed bis concern
about the validity of the polls conducted by
a candidate's staff.
Other panelists were Henry Marcotte,
news director of WTZA-TV in Kingston, and·
David Ng, day city editor of the New York
Post and a 1980 Marist graduate. Rob
Sunde, region 12 chairperson of RTNDA,

student_s have to be flexible, take advantage
. of internship opportunities and join the col-
lege newspaper or radio station.
"You have to be able to know about the
business," Nancy Cozean, executive ,pro-
ducer of "Hudson Valley Weekly" on
WTZA-TV
in Kingston said.
"Communications is the biggest and the
best revolution that happened this century,''
said Cozean, who is also an adjunct pro-
fessor of communication at Marist.
Ernie Arico, day city editor of the
Schenectady Gazette, also stressed the impor-
tance of exposure to the business. "You can't
put a price tag on experience," he said.
As director of personnel on the East coast
for Capital Cities/ ABC, Brendan· Burke,
also a Marist alumnus, said he receives more
than
85,000
applications a year, and he en-
couraged job seekers to look for an edge.
"Sometimes it's not what you know, it's
who you know," said Burke. "Build a net-
work of contacts -
get in and get seen."
John Mulligan, assistant fire commis-
sioner in New York City, who employed
several Marist interns in the Office of Public
Information; said Marist tries to provide
their students with the necessary tools to
break into the business.
"I'm a Fordham guy myself," he said,
"but sometimes I wish I came to Marist."
Other panel members were Gigi Birdas,
editorial director for WCBS Newsradio in
New York City and Ron Lyon, news direc-
tor of WCZX-FM in Poughkeepsie. James
F. O'Grady, Jr., chairperson of the Marist
Advisory Council, moderated the discussion.

Time to nix
Library noise
What's the busiest place on-campus during mid-term week? You
guessed it -
the Library. •
What's the loudest place on-campus during mid-term week?
Right again -
the Library.
. Wi~h
the increased amount of use that the Library receives dur-
mg mid-term week comes an increased amount of noise. A leisure-
ly_ walk _through the facility reveals a large number of students
with their noses entrenched in books trying to block out the noise
of those students who socialize with friends rather than study.
While most students go to the Library to study, there are those
who merely use it as a meeting place. Is this fair for those of us
who need a quiet place to get away from our roommates and
study?
In the past, students have complained that Marist lacked pro-
per library facilities for student use. Whether it be for last-minute
research on a paper or cramming for a test, students have said
that the Library was not adequate.
After years of listening to these complaints, the college's ad-
ministration finally acted. Since the beginning of the I 987-88
academic school year, the Library has been expanded to include
room for an increased _number of books and more desk space -
all for the convenience of students.
Now, we have something else to complain about. Unfortunate-
ly, there is little that the administration can do to alleviate this
problem.
The improvements in the Library were made in an effort to give
students more room to use for their studies. Now that we have
the added room, we need the atmosphere to use it.
If the students who feel the need to engage in open discussion
want to use the Library, it is possible for them to use the con-
ference rooms located in the rear of the facility.

To the editor:
Brotherhood is defined as: an
association for a particular pur-
pose. It seems that a member of the
Marist faculty has forgotten that
this is the number one purpose of
a fraternity.
A certain letter to the editor in
the Oct. 20 issue of The Circle
disappointed me and my fellow
brothers greatly. This faculty
member is greatly distressed over
the fact that Tau Kappa Epsilon
may be recognized as a formal
fraternity here on campus.
I think somewhere along the line
his interpretation of fraternities
became disfigured. It is not his
fault totally though. The press, in
recent times, has painted an
undesirable picture of fraternities.
I am not saying that what happen-
ed wasn't bad, but to assume that
it will happen here is ridiculous.
College students are different at
every campus and to think that
what happened at one college will
happen at another is absurd. I feel
Marist students are different and

which we think will help us grow,

We are greatly insulted by his
relllark "fraternities are primarily
for immature students who need a
herd t~ supply them an identity."
I would like to know where he gets
this idea from. As a matter of fact
1:m.sure President Reagan would
hke to know too, since he is an
alumnus of Teke. I am quite sure
he wasn't immature or needed so-
meone to give him an identity in
college.
.
I feel the creation of a new
fraternity on campus would be
beneficial to Marist. Each year
thousands of dollars are donated to
charitable organizations by frater-
nities. Another Marist F.raternity
Sigma Phi Epsilon, runs an annuai
blood drive. How immature? I
would hope that if we are granted
acknolwedgment by Marist as a.
fraternity that the people who
doubt us can take a look and see
how we can benefit the school.

The way George Bush has tried
to get my vote is an insult to my in-
telligence. I first realized this when
I saw a tape of him giving a-speech
on the Pledge of Allegiance while
standing in front of ari American
flag so big, it would make Patton
slap himself. George Bush was
standing there trying to convince
me that I should vote for him
because he is for the Pledge while
Dukakis is not.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I
don't
think
the people
of
Massachusetts would elect a man
governor who was anti-Pledge of
Allegiance. Besides, who cares? If
Dukakis can eliminate the national
deficit, he can change the Pledge of
Allegiance to "Casey at the Bat"
for all I care.
It may seem unfair to criticize
only Bush for trivializing the cam-

pa1gn. It 1s probably true that the
only ;eason Dukakis is addressing
issues is because he is so far behind.
But thif, is the third campaign in a
row that the Republicans have got-
ten away with using glitz and
glamour politics. If they want my
vote, they are going to have to treat
me like something more intelligent
than a babbling idiot_.
.
The group that should be most
offended by Bush's condescending
attitudes is women. Did Bush real- .
ly think he could get more female
votes if he ran with someone who
supposedly looks Robert Redford?~
Why didn't he go for more male
votes and nominate Carol
.
Alt?
She's almost as qualified as Dan
Quayle anyway.
One .only had to watch the se-
cond presidential debate to see
Bush's. attitude toward women;
"complementing" one the female
questioners saying, "this whole
very sophisticated concept, An-
drea. that I know vou do unders-
tand." ("Newsweek" gave this
quote the "Don Regan award for
most • patronizing
attempt
to
acknowledge that women have
brains.")
Even more dangerous than
Bush's Hollywood politics are his
elitist attitudes. We have had eight
years of the rich getting richer and
the poor getting poorer. Bush's·
proposal to cut the top tax rate on
capital gains income to 15 percent
tells me that he will continue that
trend. Bush's so-called "kinder and
gentler nation'' is only for those
who can afford the admission
price. Those who ·can't afford it
(like America's thousands of
homeless) will simply be left out in --
the cold.
-
I don't feel it's my place to en-
dorse a candidate. There are many
legitimate reasons not to vote for
either of these two men. But as I
said, it is important to vote. When
you go to vote on Tuesday, look
past the first two candidates and
think about the alternative parties
as a protest vote against what has
been a trivialized campaign. But
please do not vote for George
Bush. Even· more than Michael
Dukakis, he has proved himself un-
worthy of the office.

Missing the picture on Marist Housing
by Audrey Rodrigue
Last week
I was called by a
reporter from The Circle to give my
response to an incident which took
place in Leo Hall. I am not able to
respond to questions of the nature
because I need to protect the rights
of those involved. However, out of
curiosity I asked the reporter what
sort of angle this article was going
to take. I was told that people had
a "right to kno~" what was going
on.
I also believe that the students of
Marist have a "right to know"
what is taking place on campus.
The reporting of accurate and per-
tinent facts is the responsibility of
the press. There was a great deal of
misinformation in the article con-
cerning the Leo Hall "Around the
World" party, but as said before,
I cannot comment on that. There
is something
I would like to
challenge people on, however~
When I received my copy of The
Circle, I was frustrated to see the
amount of aggression aimed at the
individuals who work for Housing.
It is because I am tired about hear-
ing complaints that I write this
letter.
I feel no need to defend Hous-
ing, as the comments printed seem-
ed to be motivated by acridity.
However, in response to the com-
ments made about student staff,
I
feel that anyone charging them
with being "power hungry, butt-
kissing morons" is just missing a
very important picture. Also, the
insinuations of the "wild party" in
Leo seemed to be grounded on a
preconceived impression of the
residents of Leo Hall.
It has been a challenging and ex-
tremely rewarding experience for
me to work as a residence director
at Marist College for over a year
now. This has been such a positive
experience for me because of the
quality of students that
I work
with. The student staff has concen-
trated
on maintaining
their
residence faciltiy, providing diverse
program offerings and assisting
fellow students with their adjust-
ment to college.
They are, in the truest sense,
"special"
members
of
I
he
community.
These "Stalin act-alikes" have
planned numerious programs for
the community such as study
socials, house dinners, roommate
workshops, football games and
date-rape workshops, to name a
few. They have also been available
to their residents as friends, to
leterally hold a hand or lend a
shoulder to cry on.
As far as the Leo residents arc
concerned, it is important to look
at the many positive things they
have done this vear. Resident Stu-
dent Council, along with the help
of residents, sponsored a Hawaiian
Dance where more than 200
students had a great time. All
without incident~ They had a
BBQ/football game on the North
End where more than 100 students
took a break from studying for
midterms
to
get together socially.
It has been my experience in Leo
that the residents have taken great
pride in their living environment
and work together to make a
positive impact on those around
them.
I
trulv feei that one incident
should not brand them for the rest
of the year.
Agreeably, if you look for the
bad it
is
definitely there. However,
there arc a lot of positive things
taking place at Marist mid
I
feel
that people have a "'right to know"
this also.

director for Leo Hall.
New
album signals 'comeback' for
U2
by Mary Stricker
It's hard to believe that only a lit-
tle more than a year ago, "The
Joshua Tree" was released. It's so
easy to forget that it ever existed.
I'in
almost certain that U2's "The
Joshua Tree" was merely an ensu-
ing nightmare that has at last come
to an end. U2's "Rattle and
Hum," released only weeks ago,
saved me from this nightmare.
"Rattle and Hum" is
an
extraor-
dinary comeback for U2. Bono and
the boys, with a. lot of help from
some friends, have taken the op-
portunity to redee~ themselves
with 17 new, old and almost
forgotten songs: The diversity of
music on the album ranges from
referees, balls, and even gatorade, _
the raucous "All along the Wat-
chtower" cover written by Bob
Dylan but known best for the per-
formance by Hendrix, to the sweet
lullabye "Love Rescue Me" sung
and written by Bono and Dylan.
Probably the most surprising cut
on the album is "Van Diemen's
Land," written and sung by none
other than U2's famed guitarist,
The Edge. While The Edge has
sung back-up vocals on all the
albums, "Van Diemen's Land"
marks his solo debut. Whether or
not the critics will laud his efforts,
I think we can expect to hear The
Edge's voice more often on upcom-
ing albums
as
he seems to be more
than eager to explore his many
talents. -' ·' • ''

Tennis rackets, Guess jeans, Daddy's
credit card and closed minds-preps in the
eighties.
I know it sounds harsh, but I've had it.
• I've had it with people not tolerating others'
opinions. Where did they come from? Why
are they on such a high horse? And who told
them that their opinion is the opinion?
I just can't understand why these un-
talented "journalists"
feel that they can
make value judgements
on an entire
generation.
Ms. Stricker feels it's time
to
fight back
against heavy metal. Perhaps it':; time to
fight back against people with prejudicial
closed minds. If a column on heavy metal
was requested, the author, as an entertain-
ment columnist, journalist, or a human be-
ing, should have realized that an insulting
and condescending attitude such as that in
her column would only alienate a large
percentage of the college's unity. I have
always thought that part of the college ex-
perience was to broaden my horizons, not
narrow my sights.
"Heavy metal is taking over the airwaves
and I'm scared." What is the author scared
of? Is she scared that more people will tune
into music that she doesn't like? That we'll
no longer be clones of each other? That we'll
think for ourselves?
Ms. Stricker not only insults the music,
and its mentality, but also its fans! These
fans of heavy metal music also read her col-
umn. How's that for reader loyalty?
She states in reference to fans watching the
artists preen on stage "The saddest part is
that most of these dimwits do indeed seem
to be nearing an overly excited state
themselves." Dimwits? Did she call heavy
metal fans dimwits? Wait a minute -
Stricker -
when were you appointed legal
guardian of the entire Marist College student
body? Only a parent can call someone a dim-
wit without retaliation. Trust me, my parent-
smight call me dimwit at home for not tak-
ing out the trash, but I don't need to hear
Without leaving any ground uncovered,
Mary Stricker also singles .out the artists
" ... the male head bangers who idolize these
eggheads." Eggheads. Dimwits. The heat is
on. Ten
to
one the author listens to reggae,
10,000 Maniacs, The Cure, Bruce Springs-
teen, or The Dead because they're currently
listened to. There's nothing wrong with these
artists, I listen to them myself. But if I didn't
like them, I wouldn't put it in print and l
certainly wouldn't call them eggheads, or
their fans dimwits. Well, maybe Ms.
Stricker.
No, it's not cool to be narrow-minded and
prejudiced. According to Webster's Dic-
tionary prejudice is defined as "harm likely
to happen to a person or his rights as a result
of other's actions or judgement.'' The harm
involved is insult. I am sure many others feel
insulted at the publication of this article.
Even if one doesn't listen
to
heavv metal
music they should feel infringed upon
because an article making fun of another's
tastes was allowed to be published. what
"movement" will the entertainment column
take up next? Anti taffeta in fashion design
because it makes a scratchy noise? No neon
colors in magazines because it can hurt so-
meone's eyes? Or, maybe no cheering at
football games because it can cause a
headache?
I hope that the entertainment column of
The Circle has learned a lesson. It should not
alienate the very people that read the paper.
As the group Rush says in their song
"Limelight":
"Those who wish to see
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the indignation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation
The underlying dream''

My big b-ball tryout:
A
dream dribbles away
by Wes Zahnke
Someone had to do it.
Smits was somewhere in Indiana
favoring his ankle and the nagging
question of who would fill his shoes
was still staring Coach Maggarity
in the face.
The sign said the team would be
holding tryouts, in search of a few
good men.
I was to be the man.
Granted I'm not 7 feet 4 inches
tall, but I was a real phenom back
in the sixth grade.
It was nothing but my altruistic
nature combined with a strong
sense of school loyalty that dragg-
ed me out of my soft, warm bed
and threw me into the cruel and
painful world that is Division I
basketball.
Sacrifices were plentiful, I had to
report to the gymnasium at 7:30
a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and
6:30
a.m., Monday, October
14,
15, and 16 respectively.
This would be difficult. On
weekends, I tend to stay up real late
watching various religious shows
while simultaneously drinking milk
and reciting Marx's Communist
Manifesto.
Curtailing my
plans
would be
rough, but being a renegade writer:
I quickly overcame this dilemma
and found myself watching basket-
balls fly through the air with the
greatest of ease.
Pulling cobwebs from my eyes

and mouth, 1 walked through the
doors of McCann, and sensed the
atmospheric change in barometric
pressure that all great ones com-
mand when they enter a gym.
Eight hearty souls had the in-
testinal fortitude required for
showing up this early with such a
slim chance of making the squad.
This was my first time back in
the "House That Smits Built",
since last spring, and visions of my
retired jersey hanging next to old,
number 45 danced in my head.
I thought of all the legends in the
Hall of Fame who got their start as
• walk-ons: Ernest Clarenstein,
Merle Wolenski, Murray Liver-
pool, Hugo Garbatz. We've heard
them all millions of times before.
Here
I
was about to join the
ranks of the elite.
If
truth be told, it was the first
time I had picked up a basketball
in quite a few months.
I figured it would be just like
riding a bike.
Little did I know the bike had
been suped-up to the equivalent of
a Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle.
It felt good, stretching out with
the guys while the coaches explain-
ed exactly what was expected of us.
They said there was no guarantee
anyone would make the squad. I
sat there wondering how I would
look in red and white.
I chuckled to myself, as all the
great ones do, right before ripping
their opponents to shreds.
The shrill whistle of Coach Jeff
Bower woke me from
my
daydreaming, this mere formality
was to commence.
Within minutes after the whistle
sounded, I found myself learning
very quickly what is meant by
"sucking wind."
Ordinarily, I consider myself in
peak physical condition, but it was
very early in the morning.
We were running and passing
and running and shooting so quick-
ly .and with such repetition that it
all oozed together like one bad
dream.
After 15 minutes of sheer torture
and near vomiting, I was question-
ing my sanity.
However, I did some quick soul-
searching and realized that the
needs and wants of the team and
school outweighed my own per-
sonal desires.
I dug down deep into my reserve
tank and let it all hang out.
Did it ever hang out. We soon
went to skins and mine happens to
be filled with various concoctions
resembling beer.
The next two days went a little
smoother, I was psychologically
and physically prepared for the

The highlight of the three day
fling with a dream couldn't have
been scripted better.
We were engaged in a tight three
on three game, when out of the
clear blue I cut across the foul line,
received the pass and sunk the shot.
The capacity crowd on hand
jumped to its feet and proceeded to
give me a rousing ovation to the
tune of five minutes.
I gracefully acknowleged them
and respectfully stepped off the
court before passing out from sheer
exhaustion.
When the time came to an-
nounce who made the squad, my
mind wandered to Ernest, Hugo,
Murray and Merle.
•
I had heard a rumor that they all
didn't make their respective squads
the first time around.
Coach Bower then said that no
one had made the team.
I wasn't bothered by this fact.
I just thought of that jumpshot
right over the middle and the way
the crowd reacted to my emotional
outburst.
Stepping into the shower, chills
ran the length of my back as I
swore I saw the ghost of Merle out
of the corner of my eye.
He smiled and told me not to
worry.
I then knew that my
career wasn't over.
· It was just beginning.

Marist needs. Less parking and
more rock gardens. With the cost
of landscaping as high as it is, I'm
sure that this wonderful rock
garden cost a fortune, and this
when I can hardly ever find a park-
ing spot.
Why did they not come over and
help eat $160 worth of cookies and
Kool-Aid that had been laid out for
them?
Alas, I did not receive an invita-

did not ... and I was sorry about it.

we now have something else which
misrepresents the campus that can

With all that needs to be done on

TV club to produce talk show
by
Nathan Robinson
The Marist College Television
Club plans to air a new talk show
entitled "What's Up?" beginning
this month.
The show will focus on students
opinions regarding campus, local
and national issues, said
MCTV
President
Natalie
Feola,
.
a
sophomore from Fairfield, Conn.
Each show
·will
feature· a dif-
ferent faculty member as host and
will include an audience of six to
10 people, said Janet Lawler, ex-
ecutive producer and operations
manager of the media center.
MCTV decided faculty members.
should host "What's Up?" because
they have experience in controlling
situations that could become quar-
relsome. "We don't want the show
to be like Morton Downey," said
Lawler.
•
The show's audience will include
students and faculty who have an
interest in or are experts on the
topic being discussed, said Lawler.
MCTV is currently looking for
non-communication arts majors to
help out with the show, said Feola.
The club is hoping to find artists
to design the stage set, persons with
knowledge in theatrical make-up
and individuals to design computer
graphics for the beginning of the
show, she said.
According to Feola, MCTV has
already contacted
a
Marist-based
rock'n'roll band to record the
theme song for the talk show.
The show will be broadcast on
closed circuit cable on channel
eight from 11:25 a.m. to 12:45
p.m. on Fridays. A monitor be may
set up for public viewing of the
show in the Lowell Thomas Com-
munications Center, according to
Lawler.
Feola said the talk shows
will
last
around 30 minutes apd a new show
will air every two weeks.
The tentative topic for the first
"Whai's Up?" broadcast is the
plight of students who camp out-
side the Registrar's office during
add/drop week, said Feola.
As "What's
Up?" matures,
MCTV plans to present personali-
ty profiles of faculty members.

Men's. cross· country
season winding down
Decide grid
title on field
not by poll
by
Tim Besser
Notre Dame (8-0) is the new top-
ranked college football team in the
•
country. USC (7-0) is right behind.
Don't forget about No. 3 Miami,
Fla., (6-1) West Virginia (8-0),
Florida State (7-1), UCLA (7-1),
Nebraska (8-1), Oklahoma (7-1),
and Auburn (7-1), all of which are

The men's cross country team
• winds down its season this weekend
in the New York State champion-
ships after two average perfor-
mances at the Northeast Con-
ference and Collegiate Track Con-
ference championships.
Saturday Marist travelled to
Vancortlandt Park for the CTC
championships and finished 12th
out of 28 teams.
"We had hoped for top 15 and
could have placed as high as eighth
but I'm ple~ed with our showing,"
said Coach Rich Stevens. An injury
to Shane Pidgeon before the meet
and Scott Kendall being tripped at
the st!lring line .meant the dif-
ference.between 8th and 12th.
Pidgeon was involved in a car ac-
cident during mid-term break and
the hip injury slowed him down
consiclt-rnhlv.
dropping
two
minutes off his usual performance.
Kendall was a victim of the pack
start, getting tripped by runners
coming out of the gates faster than
he anticipated.
Iona won the meet, folloed by
LaSalle and St. Joseph's. Kevin
Brennan was the top runner for
Marist in 27 minutes, 33 seconds
and placed 46th, with Kendall three
seconds back in 47th.
The Red Foxes placed fourth of
nine teams behind the consistent
running of Scott Kendall, who ran
a time of 27:31.48, good enogh for
sixth place at the Northeast Con-
ference meet, October 22. •
Saturday, the Red Foxes travel
to Binghamton for a noon meet.
"We think a top 10 finish is possi-
ble," says Stevens. ~'The last meet
of the year is a good
·chance
for all
the guys to put it all together and
run their harde~t. ''·

Wc)rrien harriers falter late
It would be nearly impossible .to
pick a national champion that
everyone could agree on. For years,
the NCAA has kicked. around a
..
proposition to create a playoff
system for Division
I
football. Both
Division
.JI
and Division Ill have.
playoff systems to cfown a cham•'
pion. They don't rely on the opi-
nions of sportswriters, few of
whom are able to see all the teams
in the race, to choose
a
cl'lampion
by popular vote.
Before a· team is given the honor
of being. t_i)e national.champion it
should have to earn it. When the
title is decided by the whims of a
sportswriter,
it is easily tainted.
This year is a good example of
the problems that can arise. Notre
Dame is ranked first and. Miami
third because the Hurricanes lost to.
the Irish 31-30, or more accurate-
ly, gave the game away.
Although the same type of thing
.
could happen if there was<! playoff
•
format in· place, at least no one can
complain after the final game.
They all had their shot at winning.
Among the arguments put forth
by opponents is that a playoff for-
mat would cause many of the bowl
games to be abandoned, thereby
taking money out of the pocket of
the
NCAA.
Today, many bowl games don't
sell out (who wants to sec a pair of.
6-5 reams play) and the playoffs
would in facl increase the atten-
dance and importance of the bowl
games. The playoffs ,vould be held
within the bowl structure, with the
more
'important
bowls getting the
games that would occur later in the
tournament.

Despite being routed by SUNY.
Albany in a scrimmage 10-2 last
Saturday, the hockey team is hop-
ing to improve on last season's
8-6-2 record with a balance of
youth and experience.
Thirteen returning players will be
joined by 10 new faces this year.
The Red Foxes will play at home
Saturday night against Seton Hall.
Marist won all three games against
Seton Hall last season, outscoring
the Pirates 37-11. The team open-
ed the season last night. Results
were not available at press time.
Seven
veterans
and
six
newcomers will play forward this
year, led by team captain Rob

Murray. Returnees Scott Kendall,
Brian Young, Andy Giberti, Mike
DeCosta and.Pat Corbett are join-
ed by new arrivals Keith Young,
Jeff Weaver, Scott Doyle, Ron
Marchand, Chris Connors and
Brendan McDonald, whose cousin
.Jim McDonald graduated in 1984
as Mari st 's all-time leading scorer.
The Red Foxes have five

Kevin Walsh and Charlie Broe will
be joined by first-year players Ivan

Reynolds.
Three goaltenders -
returning
senior Rich Haag and newcomers

Opponents also argue a playoff
would extend the football season.
The season runs now from August
to January, but the teams play just
11 games, plus a bowl. Although
the number ofgames may increase
to
14, the length of the season
would not increase. By taking the
top eight teams, three games would
be added to the schedules of the
two teams that would make the
final.
On New Year's Day there would
be one college game, instead of the
six now seen. After that game,
there could be no disputing who is
the No. I team in the country .

Gridders suffering
three-game slicle
by Jay Reynolds

•
The Marist football team will
look to break its three-game losing
streak at home Saturday against St.
John Fisher College after dropping
a 36-20. decision to St.
.
John's
University last Saturday and a 40-0
shutout at Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute Oct. 22.
The Red Foxes (2-5) won their
only meeting with St. John Fisher,
21-7 last year.
•
Against the Redmen, Marist was
held scoreless until the fourth
quarter, however, Coach
.Mike
Malet remains optimistic.
"We hadn't scored in two games·
and we got 20 points (Saturday), so
you can only look at that from a
positive outlook," he said.
The Redmen scored four times
on the first play of a drive.
St. John's quarterback Scott
Scesney hit wide receiver Dennis
McDermot
with
a 60-yard
touchdown pass on the Redmen's
first play of the game. Anthony
Tricario's extra point put the
Redmen ahead 7-0 just under
I
:30
into the game.
After leading 15-0 at halftime,
the Redmen scored 14 points in the
first 49 seconds of the second half
to take a 29-0 lead.
"They
are a big play offense and
that happens with a big play of-
fense,"
said
Malet.

Despite.scoring on itself in the
second half, the soccer team down-

still winless in the Northeast Con-
ference with an 0-5 mark. Manhat-
tan dropped to 7-6-2. Marist played
at St. John's University last night.

·of
the field,"
said Goldman. "We _blew many
opportunities. We should have won
5-0."
One opportunity that got by was.
a missed penalty kick by senior tri-
captain Mark Edwards,
Then there was the one big
mistake by Marist in the second
half by senior tri-captain Tom
Haggerty. He attempted to pass the
ball back to freshman goalie Klye
Muncy, and-instead passed it over
him into Marist's own goal.
In addition to all that, there was
only one officialwhen there should
be three, and the game was played
on a field that looked more like a
World War III battle ground then
•
a soccer field, said Goldman.
"In the-second half Manhattan
came out pushing, shoving, doing
whatever they could to get us out
of our game," said Goldman.
"There were a lot of off the ball in-
cidents, the referee. couldn't see
everything."
.
Marist did all of its scoring in the
first
half,
leading
3-1 at
intermission.
Tri-captain Greg Healy had
Marist's first goal at 14:45, beating
the Manhattan's goalie Kerri Hynes
from-30 yards,
"Greg Healy was bringing the
ball up field and from about 30 yds
shot a nice low line drive t!tat beat

Marist struck again about nine
minutes later when Edwards pick-

ed off a pass by Manhattan and he
and junior Joe Purschke had a
2-on-l break. Edwards brought
it
in on the goalie and passed it to an
ungarded Purschke who had a wide
open net and put Marist on
top
2-0.
Marist rounded out its scoring
on a free kick by junior Paul Sten-
to, with less than five minutes in
the half. The kick bounced in off
.
a -Manhattan player's head for a
goal.
The only goal Manhattan scored
itself was by Joe Colatruglio mid-
way throught the first half.
•
"The first goal wasn't (Muncy's)
fault," said Goldman. "No one
was marking the man. He was all
alone. He beat Klye on a play that
he should have beat Klye on."
Three candidates for the position·
are being interviewed by Babineau
this week, he said. He. hopes to
have an assistant when the team
opens its sche~ule with an exhibi-
tion game against McGill Univer-
sity in the McCanri Center on Sun-
day, Nov. 13.
The team has to have an assis-
tant when the regular season opens
Nov. 26 at home against Brown or
it will be in big trouble, said
Babineau.

Assistant coach Jeff Bower guided
the White.

The Red squad opened a six
point lead, 17-11 at the 13:51 mark
of the first half behind the shooting
of Joey O'Conner, but rhe White
team was fueled by a
.
Reggie
Chambers breakaway, no-look
pass to Ted Sharpenter, closing to
within 2 at 22-20. .
Miro Pecarski
showed his
strength, carrying three Red squad
players with him, en route to a
powerful slam dunk at 6:41, pull-
ing to within 24-23.
With under two minutes to play
in the half, bodies were flying after
loose balls and rebounds as Greg
Clarke and Bobby Reasbeck com-
bined for eight last minute points
to put the Red squad .up 40-36 at
intermission.
-
Pecarski.opened the second half
with a flurry, hitting a 15-foot
jumper,· a turn-around baseline
jumper and blocking a few shots
for. good measure in an awesome
display of athletic versatility.

and fired away, keeping the Red
team in what became a second half
shoot-out.
A· Reasbeck 3-point shot with
2:00 left, put Red on top 67-62 but
a Pecarski bucket and a Ted
Sharpenter 3-pointer closed the gap
to 69-67 with :29 remaining.
Sharpenter then sank both ends of
a one-and-one to knot the game at

69. After a timeout, Paterno's
• baseline jumper was long and Cur-
tis Celestine's follow-up tap miss-
ed at the buzzer.
Pecarski, Chambers and John
Kijonek shot the White squad to a
78-76 lead in the overtime period,
after Steve Paterno nailed an open
3-pointer for the Red squad. Gaut
then played his role as thief, steal-

Red team.
Volleyball team takes second at ~kidmore
by Denise H. Becker
Although coach Victor Van-
carpels admitted the women's
volleyball team is now where he
had hoped they would be in late
September, he said he is pleased the
team placed second in the Skid-
more Tournament last weekend.
Prior to losing to the University
of Vermont in the finals, the team
defeated RusseU Sage in a semi-
final match.
•
"I'm very happy," said Van-
carpels. "They played five straight
matches with no rest, and that
showed guts."
During the tournament Marist
also defeated Union, Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute and College
of St. Rose.
The team will be in Cornell for
the New. York State Champion-
ships this weekend.
Despite overhauling the new of-
fense and defense after the Central
Connecticut
Tournament
two
weeks ago, Vancarpels said he
hopes to return to it next year.
Looking ahead, he said he wants
to rearrange next year's schedule so
the team will face the easier teams
in the beginning of the season to
prepare for the tougher teams later
on.
.
Allison Vallinino was excep-
tional on defense and came up with
good passes during the Skidmore
tournament, said Vancarpels, who
added that Kim Andrews passed
the ball well to the setter Kerri
Reilly.
It was difficult for Reilly to set
the ball in prior matches,
said
Vancarpels.
"She's been practically having to
crawl into the bleachers to receive
the passes," he said.
Terri Covello hit well for the
team, he said.
