s¢nsored
by
the.F'actilty ~ecutive
Committee in Donnelly Hall last
Friday.
. .
.
About 80 faculty members· and
administrators, including President·
Dennis Murray and Vice President
for Academic Affairs
Marc
vanderHeyden,
attended
the
meeting.
.
The forum was the first of its
kind for the committee, according
to John Ritschdorff, chairperson.
"In the past we've had a special
proposition to act upon. This was .
much more open-ended," said
Ritschdorff, associate professor of
computer science. _"It went well
and the turnout was good."
Some teachers stressed the im-
portance of faculty: research but
said they lacked the time to study
themselves because they have too
many students.
Marist faculty members gather to discuss academic concerns
at the first in a series of faculty forums.
"Scholars need time to read and
write,"
said Richard Platt,
associate professor of communica-
tions, who added that having a
course load of 120 students limits
a teacher's opportunities to pursue
outside research.
"When I hear that scholarship
and teaching are incompatible, and
when I hear that someone who's
(Photo by Robert Jeannette)
here for three days is less commit-
ted, I get angry," said Peg Birm-
• ingham, instructor of philosophy.
"It
is pure arrogance to think that
we are good teachers and therefore
:\1on't have to do research."
At the meeting, the faculty ex-
pressed mixed views on the quality
. of the student body at Marist.
"Most of our students are good,"
said Judith Saunders, assistant pro-
fessor of English. ''The best ones
are excellent."
"Soine . students

motivated, some· ar,e~motivllied

justto get ·by," saicl' Brian Nagle,
assi~tant "professor of accounting ... '
Dick Williams, from the Divi-
sion of Management Studies, said
the facµlty-student ratio reduces
• the number of choices for students.
"There are a lot _of
required courses
:,vith multiple sections, but at the
upper levels there are • fewer op-
tions," Williams said. "There is a
lack of resources to provide
. options."
WiUiams spoke favorabiy of the
Core/Liberal Studies· program,
however, and added that he would
like the college. to require that
students pass a Core exit exam
before entering a major.
Joseph Belanger. professor of
French, said the coJiege is failing
to
produce students who arc globally
aware. "We've been phenomenal-
ly bureaucracized in recent years,"
said Belanger. "We've been im-
mobilized by committees."

The SUNY New Paltz radio
station WNPR, formerly receiv-

will
begin broad-
casting witliin one to three years
but
will
have to share its
FM
air-
time on frequency 88.9 with
WMHT
of Schnectady.
The merge became necessary
when both stations applied for
a license to broadcast on the
same. frequency:
A time~sharing decision was
approved by the Federal Com-
munications Commission on
. Jan. 17. It comes after more
than a year of negotiating bet-
ween the two stations concern-
ing • who will occupy certain
hours.
"Neither of us wanted to

and national elections Ifa law pro-
posed by Gov. • Mario Cuomo
passes the state'-'legislature.
In his State of the State Message
to the legislature on Jan;4, Cuomo
said • voting procedures
must
become easier for 'college students.
The proposed bill would allow
the state, rather than the county,
to decide who is eligible to vote in
county elections.
Local New York State Depart-
ment officials could not clarify last
week whether the proposal would
include out-of-state students who
. study in New York.
Last year, a similar law was pass-
ed by the Assembly but rejected by
the Senate based mainly on the dif-
ficulty in determining in which
county -
their hometown or
school - the students chose to cast
their vote. The Senate said a pro-
cess must be established to prevent
the students from voting twice.
Currently, college students must
complet~ a 10 question form from
thelocal Board of Elections to try
to prove residency in Dutchess
County.
.
Information
considered for
residency includes:
- The address on the student's
last income tax return
;.....
Where the student expects to
be residing after graduation
-
Where the student spent
his/her summer and winter breaks
-
How much support the stu-
dent receives from his/her parents

he said.

and in a full cast, began his
academic career taking nine credits
in the Fall 1986 semester and six
credits the following semester. His
. schedule for the year also included
surgery five times and physical
therapy three times a week.
"The year after the accident was
hell,'~ said Peggy. Both Norman
and Peggy were apprehensive as the
Fall 1987 semester started and Nor-
man began taking 15 credits - they
were unsure if he could handle a
full academic schedule.
"In the Student Academic Af-
. fairs Office it was our job to put
people oil probation, to dismiss
them, to ·send them warning let-
ters." said Peggy.
"I
lived in fear
that we were going to have to deal
with Norman in academic review."
Peggy's fears were put to rest.
"Instead of sending him proba-
tion letters, ,. I was sending him
dean's list cards," said Peggy.
Norman has been oil the dean's

dent. He plans to graduate this
May with a degree in juvenile

Norman will have to look for a

physically demanding, he said.
Peggy and Norman, who were
married in 1981 and live in
Elizaville, N.Y., have different
reactions to the role reversal that
the past three years brought about.
Peggy said she doesn't think it's
been too hard. But Norman has a
different view .
"It's been hard for me because
I feel I'm not contributing to our
family anymore.'' said Norman.
"I
was used to working all the time
and now I'm not the one making
the money -
bringing home the
bacon." "It bothers me," he add-
ed. "I should be out working."
Both agree that working for their
degrees simultaneously has made
their relationship stronger.

Concerns linger over Steinberg TV coverage
by Chris Walsh .
An informal survey done at
Marist College revealed mixed reac-
tions over the media's involvement
in the Joel Steinberg murder case.

former live-in lover, was given im-

her testimony. Portions of her
testimony were broadcast live on
the three major networks in New
York City, and subsequent ratings
soared.
"It
was obscene," said Doug
Cole, professor of communica-
tions, of the media coverage. "It
was offered and perceived as enter-
tainment and had nothing to do
with journalism."
•
The trial, which lasted 13 weeks,
ended when Steinberg was con-
victed of first-degree manslaughter
in the death of his illegally-adopted
daughter, Lisa.
Jaime
Sneddon,
a senior
business major from Brooklyn,
said that live camera coverage was
a good idea and that in this case it

Hoop grads prove
they
can still play
by Gifford Krivak
Although they may have played
in a different era- and for some,
in a different gymnasium -
the
alumni from the Marist basketball
teams of old still love to play the
game.
The score wasn't important.
What was important was that they
were having fun.
"I
had a lot of fun today.'' said
Ray Clarke, who played for
Mari.st
from 1969 to 1972. "But things
sure have changed~
When
I
played,
a guy could get away with being on-
ly six feet tall."
Clarke, who scored 17 points for
the losing White team against the
Red team, credited his teammates
for his scoring. "They kept feeding
, me the ball," said Clarke. "They
wouldn't let me pass."
Drafton Davis, a 1988 graduate,
was the only participating alumnus
who played at Marist since the pro-
gram moved up to Division One in
1982.
Davis, the all-time Marist assist
and steals leader, scored only three
points, but led all players in assists
- just like old times.
After he graduated last
May,
Davis was able to fmd work as a
cameraman on Ryan's Hope, the
ABC daytime· soap
opera.
However, since the show's recent
cancellation, he's been looking for
work.
Despite it all, Davis remains op-
timistic about the situation. "No
matter what," be said, "you can't
giv~. up."
1
n Osika, who played at Marist
between 1971 and 1975, led all
scorers with
19
points.
"I
had my shot working," said
Osika, who also noted how much
things have changed.
"It's nice playing in this gym,"
Osika said. "When I was here, we
played.in Marian Hall."
Amons the alumni who par-
titjpated were Fred Weiss, who
played at Marist from 1962-64;
Bob~.
who donned the Marist
uniform from 1968-71; and Bill
De Winne, who pl~yed for the Red
Foxes from 197S:.81.
For the record,
the
Red team
defeated the White team 58-45 in
front of a sparce crowd of about
100 fans, mostly family and friends
of the alumni who participated.
But at least they had fun.

editorial
Law ignores rights
of student tenants
The already tight housing situations that Marist students face
look as if they will get worse before they get better.
Last Monday, the Poughkeepsie Common Council passed an
ordinance prohibiting four or more people from living together
unless they can prove that they are a functioning family.
In passing the ordinance by a 5-2 vote, the council members
worsened the plight of student tenants. Since Marist guarantees
on-campus housing only to freshmen and returning sophomores,
many juniors, seniors and transfer students have virtually no
choice but to live off campus.
And because of the high costs of rent, food and transporta-
tion, it is often a necessity for these students to Jive in groups of
four or more. Have any of the city council members tried to live
on a typical college student's budget lately?
Page 6 - THE CIRCLE • February 16, 1989
\
The unsanitary habits and loud lifestyles of college students,
some council members have said; made the law necessary. But
is it fair to fit every college student into that stereotypical mold?
The city council apparently believes that it can restrict the rights
of any group of people that it stereotypes as possessing any

The new law, in effect, was aimed at college students in general
because some of them are too loud and messy. This is equivalent
to making a law prohibiting all Irishmen from buying alcqhol
because some of them may drink too much. The city council
members may not realize this, but there are plenty of loud and
unsanitary people in the world - and many of them are not col-
lege students.
The law is not only discriminatory and unconstitutional, but
it is also vague. Just what is a functioning family? The new law
says that four or more people Jiving together must share the cook-
ing, common rooms and all expenses.
But many biological families do not fit this definition. Ap-
parently, an honest-to-goodness family
will
not be able to live
together now unless Mom, Dad and all the kids share the food,
phone and electric bills.

Because the students affected by the law are not city residents
and cannot vote in local elections, passing the law seems to be
a safe political move. Was it politics that prompted the council
to treat college students from out of town like second-class

citizens?
If there are college students who act in a less than civilized man-
ner, they should certainly be held accountable for their actions.
At
the same time, such students should be treated as the ex-
ception, not the rule. The judicial system of this country exists
on the premise that one is innocent until proven guilty. But in
this regard, the city council apparently feels that college students
somehow do not count.
This new law, although it officially applies to everybody, is aim-
ed specifically at college students. It makes one wonder which
group might be the next victim of the city council's stereotypical
and discriminatory attitude.

The "honeymoon" period of
good feelings from press and
legislature that is usually accorded
a new president was cut short for
Bush because of allegations against
Tower, Bush's choice for Secretary
of Defense.
Everyone has skeletons in their
closet, but the numerous rumors

surrounding
Tower's nomination makes one
wonder if Tower's bedroom is

It
started out with the Armed
Services Committee looking into
Tower's activities as a lobbyist for
several defense contractors. Then
things started to get personal;
allegations began to surface that
the twice-divorced Tower had been
seen drunk in public with a woman
other than his wife. Most recently,
rumors have arisen questioning the
financing of Tower's Senate
campaigns.
All these problems have once
again brought up the question that
was asked so often during last
year's presidential race: Are per-
sonal problems and indiscretions
enough to disqualify an individual
from holding an important na-
tional office?
In the case of Joseph Biden and

the case of Dan Quayle and Edwin

the answer was no. It would
seem that each case must be

comparing Tower's situation to
that of Quayle or Biden is both un-

between
the lines
Secretary of Defense, saying
Tower's detractors should stop in-
dulging in "frenzied speculation"
and produce "hard information"
on Tower's supposed problems.
Fair enough. But one should
remember that the people gather-
ing the information on Tower are
not the "liberal media"; but the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
If
we can't trust the FBI to give us ac-
curate information, who should in-
vestigate him?
Tower's alleged drinking pro-
blem has been the focus of the pro-
blems surrounding his confirma-
tion. After Paul M. Weyrich, a
conservative Washington lobbyist,
testified that he had seen Tower in-
toxicated on many occasions,
Tower said that his doctor had ad-
vised him to limit his drinking .
Add the allegations of heavy
drinking to Tower's past as a lob-
byist for defense contractors, his
alleged carousing with women and
the reported discrepancies in cam-
paign funding and you get a
.
As stated before, there does seem
to be a lack of hard evidence to
support these accusations. But it
seems that the Bush administration
is tired of waiting for this evidence.
Last week, Bush appeared to be
turning up the heat on Senator Sam
Nunn, chairman of the Armed Ser-
vices Committee, to call for a vote
on Tower's confirmation.
Nunn, however, is doing the
right thing. Bush is right when he
recognizes that it would be unfor-
tunate if Tower's confirmation was
held up by unsubstantiated rumors.
In delaying the vote, though, Nunn
is recognizing some thing bigger: It
would be disastrous
if
Tower was
confirmed and then failed in office
due to a flaw in his character.
Whether Tower is confirmed or
not though, the big loser in this
whole mess is George Bush's pledge
of "ethics in government." Bush
told the American people during
.the
campaign that he would choose
only the finest people for positions
in his administration.
•
Considering all the allegations
and the fact that the confirmation
hearings have dragged on for
weeks, it would seem that Bush
could have found someone better
than John Tower.

viewpoint
Getting rid of an old furball
b)' Donald Anderson
Quite honestly, I hadn't planned to watch the Bush
inauguration. After the seedy silliness of the campaign,
my assumption leading up to the day of the inaugural
was that I would treat myself to the pretense that it
wasn't happening at all.
• The new semester was a weekend away: there were
seasonings to be done in that area. Or more immediate
avoidances. I could always watch Animal House, with
its crude clarifications.
However, on the morning of January 20, a strange
and terrifying dawn awoke within me: I found myself
wanting - needing, even - to watch what was going
on in Washington.
.
At first it was a peek or two. Then the limos ap-
peared. The west front of the Capitol began to encrust
with dignified bodies. Bushes and Quayles tested the
footings and facings of their own about-to-be-ness.
So I watched: I watched the whole ruddy hour leading
up to the swearing in.
It was high noon. Quayle was sworn -
the
American dream dancing an embarrassed, jittery
dance. The phone rang. It was a friend. A colleague.
"I'm watching the read-my-lips sucker get sworn,"
I told him. "This is the witching moment. I've got to
watch."
The caller was indulgent, but a little surprised.
Bemused might be a better word.
ourselves. He restored American pride.
How you measure something like that, I don't
know. Perhaps the implication is that if you can allow
a somnolent, out-of-touch person with old movie lines
lacing his perceptions to go out of office with the higest
approval rating since people started to worry about
approval ratings -
then we must be feeling good
about ourselves.
Or could it be the opposite? Was Reagan, and will
Bush be a sign of how really poorly we feel about
oursleves? This was, and the political spectrum is again
in agreement that this was a major failure of the
Reagan years, the decade of the cocaine and rack
epidemic - drugs which are taken by those who wish
to feel beter about the fact that they don't feel good.
Nancy told us to "just say no" at a time when we
should have asked "Why?" -
why so much drug
usage? And "What?" - What is it we don't or can't
speak about? And "Where?" - where is it that we
hurt?
There were six years of uninterrupted economic
growth. But it didn't seem to matter to what we were
inside. We didn't seem all that excited by it. Rather,
we acted more like a society that was depressed; that
was stressed out.
Perhaps we were too busy ignoring too much pain:
the pain of fractured families, of hurtful city streets,
of rural disolcation, or the more gener~Iized pain of
not having our questions heard.

Student renters,
not student outlaws
by Tina LaYalla
As stated in The Circle last week, the Poughkeepsie Common Coun-
cil enacted a law that will prohibit four or more "unrelated" people
from living together unless they can prove themselves to be a "func-
tioning family."
Quite obviously, this plan's goal is to make it impossible for col-
lege students to rent apartments that are not close to the Marist col-
lege campus.
.
Although it only applies to the city of Poughkeepsie, and not the
town, many people feel - as I do - that this law is unconstitutional.
Richard Canor, the city's attorney, believes it is not. How so? What
is unlawful about four unrelated adults living together? Where in the
Constitution are they looking when they say that this ludicrous law
can be justified? ls it the same one that gives everyone the right to
live with and where they choose? Better yet, are we even looking at
the same Constitution?
Aside from a few unharmful incidences that some Poughkeepsie
residents may have encountered by living next to college students, is
it really necessary to go to such lengths as to pass a law to remedy
the problem?
If it's the noise, unsanitary habits or any other problem that an-
noys these residents, why can't they confront their neighbors ab<;>ut
it? Are college students not approachable? Is there somethmg
reprehensible about them that would alienate these people enough not
to talk their grievances out?
It
seems to me that these so called "adults" on the Poughkeepsie
Council aren't really adults at all. If they were, they would no doubedt-
ly practice wht they preach: find a compromising solution, instead
of trying to show their power and control over students, who are also
legally adults they would realize and take into considertion that we
only want wh~t we are guaranteed to have - the option of living where
and with who we want.
We need some concrete answers.
If these "adults" are going to pass this law that will affect every
college student in this city without our input, then they had better
be ready to explain the reasoning behind it to each and everyone of us.
So I wonder if they can get away with this hands down, what will
they try to put over on us next?

Books behind bars: Redefini,:ig self-concept
by Woodrow
Collins Jr.
Late 'in the Fall 1988 semester
there was a gathering of students
from the Marist College Campus
and College classes maintained at
Green Haven Correctional Facili-
ty. I had the privilege of observing
a rare phenomenon at that meeting
-
I saw a stereotype disolve!
The stereotype being, of course,
the view that many people have
where prisoners are concerned.
Basically, it is the view that
characterizes
all
convicted
criminals as violent, devious, or
nihilistic personalities.
The stereotype, like most others,
once formed is nearly impossible to
dislodge from the human psyche.
During the meeting a wide range
of subjects were the focal point of
discussion. There were com-
parisons made of many facets of
campus life in contrast to cellblock
life.
Also, a variety of views on local,
national, and international issues
were debated. Not surprisingly, the
two groups shared similar view-
points on many of the issues under
debate.
Among the topics of local in-
terest were rehabilitation
and
resentment. Rehabilitation is a
word that frequently surfaces in
any discussion
of crime or
criminals.
I believe we are all familiar with
its dictionary definition; however,
in this instance I refer to the pro-
cess of rehabilitation. It is the
ostensible purpose for our presence
behind the walls of Green Haven
Correctional Facility.
Resentment is also a word whose
definition we find to be familiar.
How these two interact for Marist
College students - inside and out-
side -
is one of two points this
viewpoint explores.
The major focus of this article
concerns a question posed by one
of the students from the Marist
campus. The question was: "At
what point is the individual con-
sidered rehabilitated?" For the
most part this article is a belated
response
to that question.
'
'
Certainly there are guidelines,
statistics, and other methods
designed to determine that par-
ticular issue. However, in light of
a high recidivism rate they all seem
somehoww to fall short of their
mark.
During a period of incarceration
an individual can' learn to "walk
the walk," and "talk-the talk;"
however, upon release back into
society the facade falls away in the
face of stark reality.
Reality being that the stigma of
being an "ex-con" is usually ac-
companied by a very pronounced
societal rejection. That stamp far
outweighs any of the academic, or
vocational, benefits earned by in-
dustrious individuals during a stay
in prison.
Only the very strong sui:vive a
walk through the very narrow path
which has societal rejection on the
one side and an easy return to old
habits on the other. In many cases,
individuals make it through that
path -
against all odds.
What is it that separates this
group from others? The answer:
"A genuine desire for change."
It is a factor that transcends all
social, ethnic, and cultural delinea-
tions. This is where education plays
a key role.
I see education as a catalyst in
the creation of that desire for
change. It was through education
that the "street level" philosophies
- which had previously guided me
in life - were exposed to a critical
examination.
This desire for change is what
brought me into contact with other
students who share a similar desire.
Notably, we are all aware that
society will not welcome us with
open arms, however, what becomes
more important is that on the "nar-
row
path" we have learned to
recognize other avenues for pursu-
ing success.
The biggest role that education
plays, however, is that it changes
a formerly onerous self-concept.
For the reader of this article you
must first realize that we are not
born with that status. It is through
'"!'
Cums'tanc~~s
that
-we become
what
you call "convicted criminals."
It seems logical to think that if
an individual grows up in a com-
munity filled with others who
possess onerous self-concepts that
90 percent of the time that in-
dividual will possess that same type
of self-concept.
Thus, along with the personal
change brought about by educa-
tion, comes responsibility and op-
portunity.
Responsibility
to
educate others whose lives are still
guided by street-level philosophies.
Opportunity for eventually retur-
ning to the community with a new
outlook on life, as part of the pro-
cess of rebuilding instead of as part
. of a recurring problem, and to have
something to contribute whereas in
days
gone
by
we
stood
open-handed.
Education is an instiller of social
values. Education broadens views,
Education
expands
future
horizons. That is what education
does for those of us wwho attend
classes behind the wall.
Jn the disucssion of rehabilita-
tion, the fact that a number of in-
dividuls resent the idea of "con-
victed criminals" getting a free
education surfaced.
First of all,
I
note that the educa-
tion is by no means "free." It is all
paid for by State and Federal
grants which are availabe to the
general public (in amounts tht vary
according
to socioeconomic
status). The amount of assistance
available decreases as the level of
family income increases.
With that in mind, it is noted
that although minorities represent
less than 25 percent of the state's
resient population, they comprise
75 percent of the state's prison
population. It is my sincere hope
that you will ask yourself why?
The majority of individuals in
the institution have parents who
work and pay taxes, too. Even so,
most live on incomes well below
poverty level and are residents of
tl!e minority community.
For those who resent the idea of
a "free education," what do you
Sketchy Tales of Marist College
propose be done about the question
of rehabilitation?
Should more prisons be built in-
stead of addressing the real root of
the problem? Like many other pro-
blems it lies buried in the harsh
wasteland of stereotypes. To ex-
hume it seems to be an answer that
most reject.
Perhaps continuing to release in-
dividuals who. are ill-equipped to
face societal rejection is the answer.
For those students who "Came,
Saw, and Conquered," I commend
your ability to see through the haze
created by stereotypes. For those
who care to look beyond myths
that men create -
I
ask that you
meet someone personally before
judging them; or, seeing them
through someone else's eyes.
The person's eyes whom you are
"seeing" through may have blur-
red vision.

Page 10- THE CIRCLE-February 16,.1989
China-bound group to look behind Great Wall
by
Thomas Gallagher
James Kullander, editor of ad-
vancement publications and assis-
tant director of public relations at
Marist, will host a 12-day tour
through China and Hong Kong
that is open to all Marist alumni,
faculty, and students.
The tour, which leaves on May
28 from Kennedy Airport in New
York, will include the Chinese cities
of Shanghai, Beijing, and Xian
before its . end in Hong Kong on
June
8.
Kullander's experience with the
Chinese people and culture is
firsthand. He and his Chinese-
American wife recently lived and
worked in Beijing for nearly two
years. They lived in their Chinese
uncle's home in the heart of the ci-
ty and taught English at a Chinese
university.
Kullander expressed the pro-
found U!lpact that a trip to another
country can have on one's life.
"Living overseas myself, I know
you
cari
learn a great deal about the
culture
you live in,"
said
Kullander. "You're always obser-
ving things that are unusual and
unexpected."
Kullander stressed the impor-
tance of keeping a journal of per-
sonal feelings and impressions of a
trip to another country.
"I always take notes because I
don't trust my memory," said
Kullander. "When you write about
your experiences, you are forced to
make more observations about
things than if you are just floating
through the environment."
In addition to his stay in Beijing,
Kullander has travelled to all the
cities on the tour's itinerary and is
an authority on the special places
to visit, eat, and shop.
"You can expect a look at the
ancient sites - the Great Wall, the
Forbidden City, and the old Im-
perial Palace in Beijing," said
Kullander. "In Xian, we will visit
a huge ~urial ground for Emperor
Qin,
the first emperor to unify
China. We will also visit a number
of ancient Buddhist temples."
Students
can
receive three college
credits under a class, cal{ed
"Reporting on Other Countries,"
during the trip.
•
Requirements for the course in-
clude. class participation in a few
seminars held before the trip and
a feature article on experiences in
China.
"We will take a look at old and
new China,"
said Kullander.
"Discussions of contemporary
_
culture and recent developments
within the country will be held on
the trip."
--·
Kullander has written many
ar-
ticles on his experiences in China,
including articles in The Boston
Globe and Marist Magazine.
Kullander will lecture about life
in contemporary China at Marist
on Feb. 21, and will give another
lecture at SUNY New Paltz later
this winter.
The cost of the trip, including·
airfare, room and meals, is $2,580.
Those interested in the trip can call
Kullander at ext. 278.

Area merchants are up in arms
over proposed tax on alcohol
The College Consortium for International
Studies is composed of 170 American Colleges
and Universities. About 1400 students partici-
pated in CCIS programs in 1987-88.
by
Karen Free
Governor Mario Cuomo's pro-
posed state "sin tax" on alcoholic
beverages and tobacco has left
some local merchants with a feel-
ing of helplessness.
If adopted, the measure would
raise taxes on alcoholic beverages
from between six-tenths of one cent
per bottle for ciders to 30 cents for
liquor over 48 proof. The seven-
part proposal suggests that the in-
crease would vary depending on the
specific type of ~everage.
The proposed tax would also in-
crease the tax on cigarettes from 21
to
28
cents per pack and bring the
tax on other tobacco products up
20
percent over the wholesale price.
Cuomo suggested the tax months
ago with his proposed 1990 state
budget for the new fiscal year
beginning April 1, 1989.
Both Cuomo's proposed tax and
budget may be substantially chang-
ed before the State Legislature
passes them. If passed, the tax
could go into
effect by June
1,
1989.

Admissions
•
Office, resulting in

increase
in
applications.
•
Harry Wood, vice president of
admissions, said the reforms have
made the program more effective.
"Last year tour guides wouldn't
show up," he said. "We'd have
families and no guides/'
The video, which will. be ready
in a few months, according to
Wood, will depict student life and
explain some of the programs of
study at Marist, such as internships
and the IBM joint study.
Difficulty with the sound track
and filming some necessary shots
have delayed the completion of the
video; Wood said.
Other improvem~nts include new
admissions literature which is be-
ing distributed to a larger mailing
list and the renovations
of
Greystone.
"Public Relations are impor-
tant," Wood said. "We've improv-
ed the impression a student gets of
Marist."
Some 1,705 prospective ap-
plicants have visited Marist - 375
more than last year, according to
Wood.·
As of Jan. I, the college had
received a record number of ap-
plications - 700 more than it did
last year at that time, Wood said.
Early Decision applications,
which were due Dec.
1,
increased
98 percent. Some 290 stUdents were
accepted from the 518 Early Deci-
sion applications received. Some
510 places are available from the
•
regular applications, according to
Wood.
Local merchants say that the
proposed tax increase is not fair
and other solutions should, be
considered.
"He's picking on the same thing
too many times," said Pat Dowl-
ing, owner of the Haviland Liquor
Store in Hyde Park, said. "Why
not tax soda?"
Local liquor store managers say
their chances of stopping the pro-
posal from passing do not look
promising.
"I
don't think we have a
snowball's chance in hell of preven- .
ting it," said Maggie Gethart,
manager of Liquorama in Hyde
Park.
Some say that this "sin tax"
would be just one more kick to an
already troubled industry.
The number of customers is not
the same as it used to be and sales
will be down again if the new
·tax
passes, according to Gethart.
Gethart also said she is already
experiencing the negative effei:ts of
price increases.
•
..
After 10 years of selling a gallon
of wine for
$5,
Gethart recently
raised the price by 50 cents. When
a long-time cu~tomer saw the in-
crease, the woman told Gethardt
she wasn't going to drink any
more.
"I
told her: 'the price of gas
went up - you still drive; the price
of oil went up and you still heat
your house. Don't begrudge me 50
cents,"' Gethart said.
Dowling predicted that alcohoi
sales would be down right after the
tax increase as customers rebel, but
after six months people would
forget about it.
Others point to the big alcohol
tax increase in 1985 along with
other increases of the same taxes
within one year and say that its
doubtful the recent proposal will
pass.
Customers, however, are already
expressing concern over the pro-
posed increase, according to liquor
•
store merchants.
People want to· know when the
tax is coming while others think it
has already begun, said Valerie
Kanting, manager of Arlington
Wine and Liquor in Poughkeepsie.

was very questionable and the
technical was just a culmination of
a series of questionable calls," he
said .•
After Saturday's loss to Mon-
mouth, Magarity ripped the of-
ficiating in the NEC this season.
"In the second half·(of Satur-
day's game), they made totally in-
consistent calls," he said. "I'm fed
up with the officiating in this
league -
I think it stinks!"
Against St. Francis, Marist shot
less than 48 percent from the field
and 65 percent from the free-throw
line.
"We did
not shoot the ball the
way we have been," Magarity
said.
"We're
not getting an offensive
flow. All of a sudden people are
starting to think (whether to take
the shot).
"So
many things have piled up

"It has been a long year-

Chambers said of the late-minute
folds. "I missed the one-and-ones
that could have iced the game.
There's just something about this
year."
Chambers led a 14-0 run early in
the first half to bring the Red Foxes
back from an eight-point deficit.
"Chambers gave the team a
defensive lift," Magarity said ..
"There's not a lot we didn't do
well, just a couple of free throws;"
Four Marist players scored in
double figures, with Pecarski
leading them with 14 points.

dous" and Marist Coach John
Lentz agreed, but said he was
less concerned with the number
of penalties - 20 in all - and
pleased with his teams agressive
style of play.
The game's hard checking
eventually led to a scuffle after
the final buzzer. Referees took
about one minute to restore
order while many of the 100
fans watched from directly
behind the protective glass.
Center Scott Kendall scored
a short-handed goal at 6: 19 of
the first to put Marist on the
scoreboard.
Forward
Jeff
Weaver put fyfarist ahead 2-0 at
3:51 with a 5-on-3 power-play
goal.
Red Fox goalie Mike Rodia
and the Marist defense put
together a strong performance
allowing no second shots or re-
bounds. Rodia thwarted two
NYU breakaway opportunities
-
one at 7:39 of the first, the
other at 6:40 of the third - ef-
fectively coming out of the net
to cut down the shooting angles.
Kendall and forward Brian
Young each received lO minute
misconduct penalties in the se-
cond period for swearing.
Young was apparently giving his
own critical analysis of the NYU
team.
Kevin Walsh scored two se-
cond period goals -
the first
goal assisted by Kendall and the
second by Young.
Defenseman Chris Buss was
creditted with an assist for set-
ting up Young for a short-
handed goal as the Red Foxes
took a 5-0 lead.
NYU tallied two power play
goals in the third period but
never really threatened as
defenseman Mike Lutolf and
Young added insurance goals
for the Foxes.
The Red Foxes will host

The ECC
the right choice
by
Tim Besser
In 1990-91 the athletic teams will
begin play in the East Coast Con-
ference after nine seasons in the
Northeast Conference.
Great,
two opponents
in
Baltimore and one in Delaware.
Nice road trips in January, huh?
But with the bad comes the good
-
the elimination of the western
Pennsylvania swing.
Marist's decision to align itself
with the ECC seemed a bit bizarre
at first. There had been talk of
joining the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference or the ECAC North
Atlantic, but no mention of the
ECC. Though it came as a bit of
a shock, it appears to be the best
move the college could have made.
The biggest advantage of the
ECC
is that all the :varsity teams .
will be competing in the same con-
ference. Now, the swimming teams
compete in the Metropolitan Con-
ference while the lacrosse team
plays in the Knickerbocker
Conference.
It will be easier for students to
follow the teams and for rivalries
to build when the opponents re-
main constant. It's hard to build a
rivalry against a school like Kean
College, which plays against Marist
once a year in lacrosse.
Athletic Director Brian Colleary
said he hopes to continue playing
some of the teams from the NEC
'

quarterback
to maintain the existing rivalries
while building new ones at the same
time.
Also, the schools in the new con-
ference
are located
in the
geographic areas from which most
of the Marist student body comes.
Hofstra, on Long lsalnd, Central
Connecticut State and Rider Col-
lege in New Jersey are located in
the top three areas from which
Marist
draws students.
The
students' familiarity with these
schools should help build rivalries
equal to those with Fairleigh
Dickinson University and Siena.
The ECC also appears to be a
stable conference, something the
NEC no longer is. Loyola is pull-
ing out after this season and the
future is up in arms, especially
since it appears the conference will
lose its automatic bid to the NCAA
men's basketball tournament after
next season. More importantly, the
conference will Jose the money
from the tournament.
The ECC is a solid conference
that is not in danger of losing its
bid. The automatic bid should help
in recruiting players, now that the

NCAA probation is almost over.
A major obstacle Maris! athletes
faced in the NEC will hopefully
disappear in the ECC, Colleary
said. Marist athletes currently com-
pete against scholarship players in
soccer,
cross
country
and
volleyball. Colleary and President
Dennis Murray both said they hope
to work with officials to limit
scholarships to the same sports at
each institution.
Marist and the schools in the
ECC share similar views on educa-
tion and athletics, according
to
Murray. Coincidentally, Marist
and Loyola were the only NEC
schools to vote for controversial
Propsal 42. The ECC also voted in
favor of it whereas the NEC voted
no on the measure to tighten
academic requirements for shiaent
athletes.
The ECC - it is the right way
to go.
A measles outbreak at Siena Col-
lege has forced the forfeiture of
two basketball games.

Men's
·basketball
team loses shot
.at
winning mark
by Jay Reynolds
All hopes of a winning season
for the men's basketball team are
gone. After Monday's 82s77 loss to
St. Francis (N. Y .) the best the Red
Foxes can finish is 14-14.
One reason for the disappointing
record is the Red Foxes' sudden
vulnerability
at the McCann
Center. Going into last night's
game against visiting Long Island
University, the Red Foxes had lost
four straight games at Mccann to
drop their home mark to 5-4. No
Division I Marist team had ever lost
more than two in a row at McCann
and
last season the Foxes were 10-2
at home. Results of the LIU eame
were unavailable at press tin°le.
Two losses to St. Franc'3 and one
to
Monmouth have
·left
the Red
Foxes 10-14 overall and 7-6 in the
Northeast Conference. Marist
travels to Teanek,
N.J.,
Saturday
to play Fairleigh Dickinson Univer-
sity
before retuning home Monday
to face Drexel University. The
Foxes end the season next Thurs-
day when they host Loyola.
One more loss will give the Red
Foxes their first losing season since
the 1983-84 squad finished 14-15
and
end a string of four straight
winning seasons.
Monday's 82-77 loss to St. Fran-
cis (N.Y.) was Marist's third in a
row and . Red Foxes and the fourth
consecutive home loss.
in a position to win a game in the
last five minutes and not been able
to pull away.
"I thought the game was going
to be won," said senior center Miro
Pecarski after playing Monmouth.
"Then they made some big shots."
"At Flint Hill (Prep, Falls
Church Va.), we had the eye of the
tiger," said freshman guard Reg-
gie Chambers about his high school
team. "We did what it took to win.
In high school, I think we wanted
it more."
,
Against the Terriers, Marist
came back from a 15-point deficit
in the second half to take a two-
point lead with 3:40 left in the
game. However, a 3-point basket
by St. Francis forward Kevin
Mickens with 2:40 left put the Ter-
riers ahead for good.
_
"I was pleased with what we did
to get back into. the game," said
Coach Dave Magarity. "It just
comes down to catching a few
breaks. We needed them to miss
some shots, but they were on a
roll."
Three Marist players scored in
double figures against St. Francis,
including forward John Kijonek
who led all scorers with 24. Pecar-
ski and forward Curtis Celestine
added
17 and
10 points,
respectively.
Leading the five Terriers who
scored in double figures was guard
Rodney Henry with 16 points.

1n opener
by Tim Besser
The men's volleyball club got off
to a bumby start last weak as both
the A and B teams fell to the War-
ren (N.J.) Volleyball Association
juniors.
The A team lost 15-1, 15-13 and
the B team dropped a 15-4, 15-4
decision.
"The team was very nervous,"
said player-coach Tom Hanna.
"We don't have much court ex-
perience and people were not sure
where they belonged. When we
relaxed we did much better."
The A team was ahead 13-7 in
the second game, before Warren
came back to tie the score at 13.
With the

knotted, Hanna
missed a jump serve and Warren
closed out the match.
"We were a little more reiaxed
when we got up 3-0," said Hanna.
"Their offense wasn't very strong.
We were up 13-7, then they made
a strong comeback."
The crowd of around 50 fans
added to the team's first-game jit-
ters, said Hanna. But, he added, he
would love to see even more peo-
ple at the games.
Ten of the 14 players on the
Warren squad have played in the
Junior Olympics and two of the
players were all-americans, accor-
ding to Hanna.

'Woody' Kendall c~mes of age
by Kevin St. Onge
He used to be called Woody for his long hair,
beads and taste in music reminiscent of the
Woodstock era but more and more people are call-
ing him ·scott these days.
The hair has been cropped to collar length, the
beads are gone and he appears more conscious of
who he is and what he wants to accomplish. He·
seems to be living up to his'senior high school year-
book· quote borrowed from a Billy Joel tune, "You
can get what you want or you can just get old."
The sophomore criminal justice major calls home
Cow-town USA, (Coventry, Conn.) but yearns for
the excitement of being a· big-city police officer.
"He has always wanted to be a cop," said
Sharon Kendall, the proud mother who once drop-
ped a I-year-old snow-suited Scott on his head on
the ice of a local pond. "Most kids just say they
want to wear a badge but Scott really means it."
Constantly reminded of being dropped on his
head, Kendall doesn't appear to let it bother him,
in fact he seems quite at home on the ice. He's cur-
rently the leading the scorer on the Red Fox hockey
club and is the third leading scorer in the Hudson
division of the Metropolitan· Conference.
Kendall's father Greg played semi-pro hockey
and got Scott on skates at a young age. The elder
Kendall even had Scott transfer from the public
high school in Coventry to East Catholic High
where Scott ended up being captain of the hockey,
track and cross country teams.
Kendall is a leader by example according to
Marist hockey teammate Rob Goyda.
"He is the best guy on the team by far because
of his hockl:y sense," said Goyda.
Head Coach John Lentz said he wished he had
25 Scott Kendalls. That Kendall was nominated for
all-Metropolitan Conference honors as a freshman
is a tribute to his unique talent and he should be
all-conference again this year, according to Lentz.
K<!ndall is more than just a hockey player
though. He's also a successfull runner on the Marist
cross countrv team.

Winning trophies in
al,l
put three meets this past
season, Kendall garnered all-Northeast Conference
honors as well as a team-leadership award.
Running at the Division I level is what Kendall
says interested
him in Marist. Turning
down
finan_-
cial aid and scholarship money at other schools,
Kendall says he came to Mai-ist with high
expectations.
Those expectations have changed and Kendall
says he will no longer run for the Red Foxes.
"There are many athletes here that are making
great personal sacrifices and the school is not
recognizing their efforts," said Kendall, whose own
financial aid package was cut drastically, forcing
him to work two jobs in addition to a full course
load.
His parents said they have mixed emotions about
their son not running anymore.
Mr. Kendall was the one who encouraged Scott
to start running but says that under the cir-
cumstances leaving the team is the only thing he
can do.
"We loved going to meets and watch him run.
He is so natural at it, just loping along with a smile
on his face. He reminds us of Pepe Lepew, the car-
toon character," said Mrs. Kendall.
"His views have changed so much in the last
year,"
said Beth_ Prestiano,
a sophomore
business/finance major from Jamaica Estates,·
N. Y., who describes her relationship with Kendall
as i•best friends -
plus.
•
"He still wants to be a cop but he'll probably
end up being some sort of juvenile counselor. He's
even thought of law school."
•
•
'
The most obvious indication of Kendall's com-
passion for people was !Jis work last summer at a
camp for terminally ill children.
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, sponsored by
Paul Newman, ran two-week sessions for children,
most of whom had cancer and had a short-time to
live. The intent of the program was to give the
children the chance to be "normal" kids for at least
two weeks.
Kendall worked as a counselor there and said it
was the most meaningful experience.of his life.
So while he still wears the tie-dye shirts on occa-
sion and listens to Bob Marley and the Dead, Ken-
dall doesn't wear his hair as long as he used to and
he'll take a stand on principle even if it means leav-
ing a sport he enjoys.
"He was Woody because that was how people
saw him but he is Scott because that is how he sees
himself," said Prestiano.
