A short-term solution is the

The construction in the basement
currently occurring has nothing to
do with relocating the Marist East
classrooms, Sullivan said. A

Marist officials of the violations.
Sullivan said Marist officials

with the fire code when they renew-

given a valid certificate of occupan-

Murphy said, "Somebody pro-

According to the state fire code
board of review, the Marist East
fire wall must be raised through the
second floor. The current fire wall
stands on the first floor between
the area Marist leases and the

their best students.
The Academic Affairs Commit-
tee is accepting proposals from
faculty members for honors pro-
grams • in other divisions, said
Margaret
Calista, chairperson of
the committee.
While
proposals vary, some
faculty members have suggested a
program that would require
students to maintain a certain grade
point average and complete a thesis
or special project.
The committee considered a
standard honors program for all •
• disciplines last year but decided
supplemental programs to each
area of study would better serve the
students' needs, said Calista, who
is also director of the social work
program.
In rejecting the idea of a col-
legewide honors program last
February, the committee also
decided there was a lack of faculty
and administration to oversee the
program.
Since 1974, the college has of-
fered the Science of Man program,
also known as Science of Humani-
ty, which required students to take
special courses and complete a •
.thesis. While never designated an
honors program, Science of Man
was catered to students seeking a
greater academic challenge.

I don't know if he's going to
whip out a knife and kill me."
But many of the players said
they don't take it too seriously,
since the object of the game is
to have fun. They said they
laugh whether they win or lose.
Jennifer
Forbes,
a
sophomore communication
arts
major, said she certainly had
fun the night she followed
freshman Bill Liston to the
cafeteria,
to
Sheahan Hall and
finally, with a tip from his
roommate, to The Library.
Forbes fired her gun, and a
little orange pellet hit its target.
Liston surrendered the name of
his victim to Forbes.
It was the last izame Liston
played, Forbes said.
The review board, which hears
appeals on fire code violations, also
told Marist to fix violations in its
part of the building. According to
Richard Dormeyer, deputy chief of
the Fairview Fire Department, the
corridor must be widened from
four feet to eight feet and the walls
along it must be reinforced to hold
back flames for one hour. That job
would cost about $200,000,
Sullivan said.
Marist is under no obligation to
complete the work in a specific time
frame, Sullivan said. The college's
Iawers are reviewing the case to
determine whether Marist or the
Mid-Hudson Business Corp. is
responsible for those renovations,
he said.
Reluctant to invest more money
in the building, Marist officials and
the landlord have met with the
review board at least three times
since the fall of 1987, most recent-
ly Jan. 24, Dormeyer said, to ob-
tain variances on the regulations.
They will meet the board again

Despite delays of over a year,
Anthony Tarantino, director of of
physical plant, says the patio
behind Champagnat Hall
will
be
completed this spring.
Patio construction began in the
fall of
1987
when the land was
leveled and trees cleared to give a
view of the river. Because of
renovations in Champagnat last
summer and Donnelly Hall this fall
the project has been put off.
The area, which will measure
about 100 feet by 75 feet, will give
students a needed recreation area
and will include picnic tables and
a barbecue, according to Taran-
tino. It will resemble the patio next
to Fontaine Hall.
The project will cost $25,000 to
$30,000, Tarantino said in a Circle
article las( fall. In addition to
renovations, the cold weather has
forced delays.
Warmer weather will soften the
ground and allow workers to plant
"I want to start planting the
(grass) seed by the end of March or
the beginning of April," said
Tarantino. "I hope by May the
patio can be used by all the
students."
. Tarantino said the patio will pro-
vide space for activites such as
barbecues, which were previously
held in front of Campus Center.
Tarantino wants the land to be
used for many activities, but "it is
up to the Student Activities Office
to decide what activities are to take
place," he said.
Bob Lynch, assistant director of
Student Activities, said the sight
has great potential.
"I would like to see the patio us-
ed for different functions," Lynch
said. "There could be an art class
•
held out there in the spring, poetry
readings, theater receptions, lee-
,.
tures and dances on the patio that
would work in conjunction with
the River Room. "
This area behind the Campus Center is the site for the patio,
which is scheduled to be completed in the spring.

aid program
by
Colleen Corcoran
The Marist College Community
Service Program may have to close
to students unless private funds
become available, Phil Koshkin,
coordinator of the program, said.
The program, which provides
financial aid in exchange for service
in the community, is funded by a
U.S. Department of Education
grant and Marist campus employ-
ment funds.
•
The program started in the fall
of 1987 with twelve students, but
there are approximately 36 students
working this semester.
The federal grant which takes
care of operational costs runs out
after this semester, and although
the Marist money is still available
to support the cost of tuition credit,
Koshkin admits the program "is up
in the air for next year."
Koshkin is currently writing
grant proposals to corporations
and private foundations.
Classmates now fashion careers in design
Koshkin has received a $10,000
.grant
from the Gannett founda-
.
tion, but the program still needs
support, he said.

Some say that good things come

In less than a year since their
graduation from Marist the two

determination.

Somma will begin training at the,
popular department store Lord and
Taylor. She is two positions away
from her goal of becoming a
clothing buyer for the store.
Morrissey wants to be a fashion
designer and hopes to have his own
business in about four years. He is
now an assistant to designer Ran-
dolf Duke.
In recent phone interviews both
agreed that they owe their success
to the dedication they developed
under Carmine Porcelli, Marist's
director of fashion design and

Morrissey is faced with a dif-

day on one sketch while other
workers completed 10 and 12 sket-
ches in the same time.
But he was determined to do bet-
ter. Since then he has improved to
seven designs a day.
And for Somma, who graduated
last fall, the hard work paid off.
On Dec. 26 she started working
for Haynes department store in
New Jersey as a trainee in the
children's department. Because

Although the future of the pro-
gram may be uncertain,
the
response from the community has
been great, Koshkin said.
"All (agencies) are very, very
eager and grateful for the help," he
said.
According to Koshkin, the pro-
ject works out well financially for
both the community agency who
cannot afford to pay for help, and
students receiving hands-on ex-
perience while helping
to
pay their
tuition.
The project is a combination
financial aid/student service pro-
gram originally designed to attract
business, computer science and
communication majors
to other,
more
service type careers.
Any student who demonstrates
significant financial need, is iit
good academic standing and is at
least a second semester freshman,
can apply to work part-time with
·
a variety of organizations in the
area, Koshkin said.
However, if the program is to
continue next year with a cut in the
budget, the number of students in
the program would have to be
much lower, Koshkin said.
The fairest way to decide which
applicant should be placed in a job
would be "to rank students by
respective financial needs" he said.

Curtain Call
Of chaos and cosmetics:
A look behind the scene
by Holly Gallo
It
is Sunday, Feb. 26, and the cast and crew of the Marist College Coun-
cil on Theatre Arts are preparing for their last performance of Woody
Allen's farce-laden "Don't Drink the Water."
As the 2: 10 p.m. curtain call approaches, the cast and crew take part
in the facet of play production that audience members never see - life
behind the scenes.
1:30 p.m.:
The smell of paint remover abounds in the backstage prop
room amidst debris of splattered paint, scraps of wood and the stiff paint-
brush that has laid in peace since the play's opening the previous
Thursday.
1:40
p.m.: Thirty minutes until showtime. A cast member walks by
the dressing rooms crooning, "I'm in the mood for toast, butter and
cream cheese, simply because you're near me ... "
1:43 p.m.:
Wes Zahnke, acting in his first MCCTA production, strolls
by sporting an outfit a Ia New Jersey tourist: loud, gold hawaiian shirt
clashing nicely with his equally loud turquoise hawaiian shorts and
mismatched argyle socks. This is a suitable ensemble as his character,
Walter, later boasts that he is, "A caterer from New Jersey ... a dignified
human being with a hernia!"
1:45 p.m.:
25 minutes and counting. The dressing rooms are empty,
except for the piles of clothes, assorted pumps and sneakers and a blonde
wig, which looks like it has been around the block a few times.
1:50 p.m.:
The cast and crew are dressed and putting on the finishing
touches, hairspray, baby powder and the black lines which look like
wrinkles to the audience. This ritual is taking place in the "green room"
- the customary stopover from dressing room to stage. This one is literal-
ly green, mint green.
1:55 p.m.:
Someone yells, "Let's do it!" The cast and crew assemble
in a circle for final instructions from the director, senior Chris Meyer,
who tells them to "close your eyes and think ... get the energy flowing."
They begin to clap and cheer. There seems to be no apprehension or ner-
vousness in this room, only anticipation.
2:00 p.m.: A
voice rings through the theater, "Ten minutes!" Everyone·•·
begins to congregate in their spots behind the curtains. Someone is talk-
ing about how hung-over they are from the cast party the night before.
The props, including a handgun, a feather duster, various hats and a
bar equipped with Bacardi rum, Peachtree schnapps and Gordon's Vodka
-
all replaced with water, of course -
are in order.
2:04 p.m.:
Everyone is milling around. One cast member keeps raiding
the bar.
2:09 p.m.:
The lights go off backstage. "Ready?" "Shhh!" Then quiet
as Bob Higgins becomes Father Drobney, an Irish priest whose monologue
begins the play.
2:10 p.m.:
With the play underway, someone whispers
"It
seems like
a good audience." All eyes are intent on the stage, as the fellow cast
and crew enjoy each other's performances.

Running on empty: Those college car blues
by Michael Decosta
"My grandfather uses it now to
haul cords of wood," said Jim
Mulcahey, a junior from Bar-
ryville, N.Y., regarding the current
status of the 1967 Chevrolet
Chevelle he used to commute from
the Canterbury Garden Apart-
ments to campus for two months
last semester.
The Chev~Ile with spray-painted
racing stripes was one of four cars
Mulcahey has had at Marist. He
had two 1980 Volkswagen Rabbits
which both broke down beyond
repair and he is presently driving
another Chevrolet.
Whether its the old ''family
funster" or what the used car
salesman called "the perfect college
car," many students have surviv-
ed the ups and downs of owning a
second-hand car.
"My first Rabbit was in an acci-
dent that had no other cars involv-
ed and no driver in it," Mulcahey
said.
"It
just rolled down the hill
one day and smashed into a tree."
Rube Cohen, owner of Rube's
and Sons Shell on South Road in
Poughkeepsie, said he services
many students' cars from Vassar
College, the Culinary Institute of
America and Marist on a weekly
basis.
"The kids really run these old
cars into the ground," he said.
"Many
are shocked to find out
their bill is $150 to $200."
Dawn Carroll, a junior from
Selden,
N.Y.,
said she was hor-
rified when she received a $286 bill
for repairs done to the brake
system of her 1982 Pontiac
Phoenix. She had planned to use
the money toward Spring Break in
the Bahamas and she is now work-
ing a second job to pay for the trip.
According to Cohen, most of
these cars have traveled at least
100,000 miles and have seen better
days. If the car makes it to the
desired destination, it's considered
a bonus, he said.
When Jim Donnelly's
dad
bought a brand new 1986 Buick
Century, he decided to make Jim
the proud owner of "the family-
funster green machine," a 1980
Chevrolet Caprice Classic.
Donnelly, a political science ma-
jor from Waterbury, Conn., said
he routinely fits eight to 10 of his
friends into the station wagon for
long-distance trips, including two
to Burlington, Vt., and one
to
Montreal, Canada.
His car was temporarily ground-
ed a few days before Winter In-
tersession last semester with more
than $500 in repairs.
Donnelly insists that the "fami-
ly funster" will be back on the road
some day.
"Despite popular belief, its not
dead," he said. "It was just sick
for a while and I'm nursing it back
to health back home."
The frustrations encountered in
owning these used cars has inspired
some students to name their cars.
Cars such as "The Road Warrior,"
"Bessy," "The Batmobile,"
"It"
and "The Cropduster" can be
found in parking lots throughout
the campus in various states of dis-
repair.
Sue Weiser, a junior from
Rochester,
N.Y.,
said she had lit-
tle hope that her 1980 Pontiac Sun-
bird would last much longer. "I
wish it would just blow up," she
said.
Although this car practically drags down the road and its
driver's door
is
permanently stuck, Steven Murray's 1980 Sun-
bird gets him to his internship every day.

College is facing
its growing pains
Champagnat Hall has undergone a major renovation. Donnelly ,
Hall is beginning one. Marist East will need
its
own renovation
if college officials want to continue using it. Two new buildings,
a dorm and a classroom building, are badly needed; Marist can-
not put them up fast enough.
Signs of growth and their side effects are everywhere. Some
of those effects -
an inaccessible Donnelly front door, trucks
and bulldozers rumbling around campus - result from positive
changes.
. .
Others, including a student population that lives five miles away
in the Canterbury Garden Apartments, are casualties of college
growth that got out of hand.
Marist is struggling to keep pace with its own expansion.
College administrators have tough decisions to make. Faced
1
with losing five classrooms and two art studios in Marist East,
they must decide whether to throw good money after bad by fix-
ing fire code violatipns there or find an alternative site.
While the new dqrmitory has been the top building priority,
the continuing Marist East problem and probable delays in the
construction of the dorm have prompted administrators to con-
sider expediting the classroom building.
In addition, perennial problems such as the cramped Library
and Bookstore, as well as a shortage of faculty office space, re-
mind us that the lack of housing isn't the only deficiency on
campus.
Is the college getting too big? No. Is it growing too quickly?
Probably. All of us who live and work here are now saddled with
the consequences of rapid growth that was not watched closely
enough.
Most colleges suffer space constraints, but Marist should not
continue admitting more students than it can reasonably
accommodate.
In striving toward tommorrow's goals, we should not stifle more
immediate concerns.

Cafeteria responds
To the editor:
In response to the letter in the
Feb. 23 issue of the Circle concer-
ning the Cafeteria, I would like to
answer your concerns.
A. Hairnets or hats are required
by all Food Service staff while ser-
ving food
items.
Plastic gloves are
also required when handling food.
We would appreciate it if you
would let us know if these re-
quirements are not being followed
by any of our staff.
B.
The dirty silverware, salad
bowls, etc. from the dishroom have
been
checked
by
Quality
Restaurant Repair and by Subo
Chemical Co. Both have found
minor problems and have repaired
them. We also have a call in to the
City Water Plant to do a water test
to help us resolve the problem with
the glasses, and have contacted the
manufacturer of the glasses, Carn-
bro Corp. A representative from
the Co. will be here on Monday,
Feb. 27.
C. We have moved the Deli Bar
area away from the dishroom and
hope this will solve the concern you
have.

impossible to keep organized dur-

WoUld HE leave women out?
by
Paul O'Sullivan
If Jesus were alive today, and He
saw the painting of Himself that is
hanging in my Catholic grammar
school, He'd probably say, "Who
the heck (Jesus wouldn't say 'hell')
is that?''
I think He would have a similar
reaction
to today's
Roman
Catholic Church.
Last month, the Rev. Barbara C.
Harris was consecrated the first
female bishop in the history of the
Episcopal Church.
•
The Episcopalians are way ahead
of the Catholics, who haven't even
gotten around to ordaining their
first female priest.
.
On Sept. 30
.
of last year, the
Vatican issued th~ apostolic letter,
"Mulieris Dignitatem,. (On the
Dignity and Vocation of Women).
In it, Pope John Paul II reaffirms
the long-held Church doctrine that
only men
can
be priests.
The Pope seems to contradict
himself; at one point, he reminds
his readers that women and men
both are called "to share in the in-
timate life of God."
However, John Paul also rejects
the idea that Jesus chose only male
apostles because that was the social
norm of the day, saying, "In call-
ing only men His apostles, Christ
acted in
a
completely free and
sovereign manner."
Basically, what John Paul seems
to be saying is that the male-only
priesthood is the way Christ intend-
ed it.
I would expect more common
sense from the Catholic Church. If,
-
----
-·
...
thinking
between
the lines
by His actions, Jesus intentionally
meant only men to be priests, how
can we be sure that He did not in-
tend other restrictions as well?
Did Jesus discriminate on the
basis of height? If all the apostles
were between
5
feet 6 inches and 6
feet 1 inch tall, does that mean
Jesus wanted to exclude Manute
Bol and Herve Villechaize from the
priesthood?
Even more importantly, did
Jesus intend that only people of a
certain skin color could be priests?
That would eliminate all of us
palefaces from contention, in-
cluding the present-day pope.
If Jesus had actually had the skin
color that my grammar school's
painting features, He would have
had one heck of a sunburn in the
Middle Eastern sun.
It's kind of hard for me to im-
agine Christ purposely and willfully
excluding anyone from anything,
least of all from administering the
sacraments of the church that He
founded.
John Paul and the rest of the
conservative Catholics have to
realize that sex is just another
distinguishing factor, just like
height and color. A short, black
woman isn't any different from a
tall, white man in the respect that
both are human beings and both
are
entitled
to
the
same
consideration.
We all have roles in life that we
are suited for, but to say that a
woman is not suited to be a priest
is the same as saying that a black
is not suited to be president.
The framers of the U.S. Con-
stitution did not count any blacks
.
among their ranks. Certainly there
were
some available; does that
mean a black cannot be president?
Of course not.
That kind of thinking is archaic,
and that's the same criticism many
people have of the Church - that
many of its teachings are woefully
outdated.
I'm willing to grant the Church
the
issues
of birth control and abor-
tion, because these teachings
can
be
seen as issues of faith. But keeping
women from being priests is a sim-
ple issue of a violation of human
rights.
If the Church wants to
be
a
force
•
against racism and discrimination,
it first has to start with its own
organization. It has to practice
what it preaches
Actually, the Church may be
closer to ordaining women priests
than it thinks. The number of men
entering the priesthood is at an all-
time low, and many American
clergy are calling for changes in
order to increase their ranks.
But it would be nice if the church
allowed women to enter the
priesthood not out of necessity, but
out of choice. Admitting women to
the clergy should not be the last
choice before coin-operated
confessionals.

to make a fast buck.
Sixteen years ago, the Roe vs. Wade deci-
sion legalized abortion.
At the time, I couldn't care less what Roe
or Wade decided. All I cared about was stay-

Scooby Doo lunchbox.
Give women labels as ludicrous as "baby

say there is a simple alternative - adoption.
The only way to help women is by gran-

trol for those who can afford it and free of
charge for those who cannot.
If we deny women the legal right to birth

in the midst of a catastrophe worse than what
pro-lifers consider the current onslaught of
baby killing - a return to the horrifying il-
legal abortion era.
White newborns may be in demand. African-
American newborns are taboo.
More importantly, I care a lot about the
Roe vs. Wade decision and the unfortunate
possibility of it being overturned.
Whether you approve or disapprove of
abortion or whether you don't even bother
to think of it, you must realize that a deci-
sion to reverse Roe vs. Wade would not on-
ly be a mistake, it would be catastrophic.
While Planned Parenthood does provide
abortion services, it also offers counseling
and low-cost birth control to those in need.
Planned Parenthood does not ignore the root
of this problem.
If this happens, pregnant women will suf-
fer more than the fetus. Few respected doc-
tors will risk their jobs to perform an illegal
abortion, and even fewer will be able to pro-
vide safe and sanitary conditions while main-
tinaing ultimate obscurity.
George Bush calls abortion a
tragedy
that
must be stopped. What does George Bush
call racism -
an easy way to get elected?
Illegalization does not equal prevention.
Something
is
very wrong here.
If only we could go to bed at 8 p.m. and
eat Twinkies for lunch, but we can't. Nor can
we ignore the serious repercussions involv-
ed in a reversal of the Roe vs. Wade decision.
Women are going to continue having abor-
tions if abortions become illegal. Doctors will
continue to perform abortions if abortion
becomes illegal.
Instead of trying to close down Planned
Parenthood, we should be helping them
reach the thousands of men and women who
are not using birth control so there won't be
such a demand for abortion services.

As I sit in my living room star-
ing at a hole in the carpeting, I
think to myself, "What more can
I do."
I then look to my left and see the
hallway door which still hangs on
the hinge.
Far across the room sits our
couch, a beautiful luxurious sofa
with torn cushions, a broken back,

and a cracked arm rest that just
loves to bruise elbows. I get up and
walk to the sofa, turn and sit. I am
immediately swallowed up.
I take notice to the other hole in
the carpeting which enjoys catching
a foot and making you look stupid.
I roll out of the couch -

except for the cracked window. I
have to put in another request for
a new one; that makes one ... two ...
oh darn, I must have lost count.
Looking up, I wonder if the wir-
ing for the smoke detector should
be covered.
The sounds of a dripping faucet
can be heard from the hallway
bathroom. Well, at least we know
the water is still running. I walk
down the hall and pass by the stairs
which lead to the basement. I try
not to go down there too often. It
floods,
but then again,
all
basements flood. Right?!?
I make my way upstairs and
enter the hallway. The ceiling
above looks as if it is about to cave
in. Other than that, everything
upstairs is looking good - well, ex-
cept for the missing shades and a
closet without a pole to hang
clothes on.
I leave the second floor and go
back downstairs. I remember from
a past experience that I must be
careful when going down; the
plastic that covers the stairs is loose
and could prove fatal.
The afternoon sun is beginning
to pour into the living room. I do
wish the shades went down all the
way; they are about four inches too
short for the windows. They do
look nice though, not counting the
two that are ripped.
It really is a nice day out. I step
out onto the front porch, which
seems to sink down, and walk
towards Route 9.
Looking back at my house, I
realize the house looks pretty good
from the outside; the grass is in
good shape and one of the tree
shrubs is trimmed. The outside of
the house projects a nice image, but
not one of reality.
I
ask myself,
"Which
is more
important - the image projected, or
the realty that exists?" As a Marist
College student, what more can I
do?
By the way, next time you go
down to the River Room, take
notice of the faucet that runs con-
stantly. After two months of
maintenance requests, it still spews
forth 70 gallons of water per night.
You ::an just imagine how much
water has been wasted.

Let the campus voting begin

The following are personal essays
submitted by this year's candidates
for student body president. The
election begins today and continues
through Friday.
Meet the student body president candidates
First off, I would like to ask all
people reading this to vote for
Michael Wilberton for president of
the student body. Since I am a
relatively new face - I am a
freshman - I'll
introduce
myself
and explain why I am running for
this position.
I am from Fairfield, N.J. I
graduated
from
Seton Hall
Preparatory School where I
was
an
active member of the student coun-
cil. I am a member of the
cheerleading team at Marist, as well
as other activities
including
Students for Students Rights and
the campus radio station. I also
played the tympani for the chorus
in one of their concerts last
semester. I am a part-time model
for West Models and Talent in
Union, N.J., and
I
am an Eagle
Putting the students back into
student government has always
been a problem. Past student body
presidents, student activists, class
leaders, etc., have had to deal with
it, trying to change it, to no avail.
I believe that I have the ideas and
tools to find a way to put the
students
back
into
student
government.
Since I've been at this school for
the past two years, I believe that I
can honestly say that every student
I've come across has had some
comment about the school. I
myself have passed comments as
well. I would like to do something
more than talk about it. I would
like to be able to take action; to see
what can be done to best benefit
the students.
I would like to have a student
government that would best serve
the needs of the student. With the
student body president acting on
For over a semester, you, the
students of Marist College, have
been fighting for your rights, both
as students and as productive
citizens of our society. Now it is the
time to exercise your rights, for
now it is the time for you to elect
the entire new student government
body. I am running for the position
of Student Body President. My one
goal is that of working toward in-
creasing your rights at Marist
College.
During my freshman year, I was
the Vice President of Marian
House Council, as well as the
founder and president of the
Hispanic Club. I as proud to co-
sponsor Cultural-Heritage Week
with the Housing Office. For the
first time, the students of Marist
College received a flavor of the dif-
ferent heritage, including Italian,
Irish, Hispanic, and African-
American.
In my sophomore year, I became
Michael Wilberton
Scout.
The reason for my running for
president of the entire student
body, instead of just my own class,
is because class officers do not have
the total following of the entire
school.
The CSL President can have a
very powerful voice in the running
of the school. The present govern-
ment is not doing as much as I feel
necessary. If one of the up-
perclassmen were elected, he would
possibly become a lame duck and
give up if things were not going his
way, where as I must face three
years more of Marist.
I have more at stake than the
other candidates.
One of my short-term goals are
getting
condoms
into
the
bookstore.
Speaking
of the
bookstore, the prices of books were
looked into and they are legitimate,
but the bookstore ridiculously
overcharge on other necessary
items in stock like toiletries, and
notebooks. Also, its buyback
policy for used books needs to be
looked into. This is a major pro-
blem and must be taken care of.
Possible solutions
include
having
the school exert pressure for the
store to stop the overcharging of
students, or get a new company in
there.
Next is to get more student art
up around campus.
I will let the present food com-
mittee keep hassling Seiler's; the
.
food this semester is a little better
than last.
The proposed schedule must be
discussed in an open forum with
President Dennis Murray and other
school officials.
Pressure must be applied on the
City of Poughkeepsie to repeal its
new laws against more than four
non-family
members
living
together.
This
is a direct
discrimination
against college
students.
Additionally, at some point,
most of the student population will
live off campus for some amount
of time. We must protect our im-
mediate future.
I would like to enact a Senate
consisting of ten students elected by
their peers from each of the up-
perclass grades. It will be used in
assisting me to make decisions, ob-
taining more views, and gathering
added information.
It
will also be
inducted into the constitution of

those needs,
I
believe this can be
achieved. However; this can only
be done by creating a stronger,
tighter
.
bond
within
our
community.
A stronger bond in the area of
the education time we receive is
needed.
I believe
that
by
strengthening the bonds between
the faculty, the administration, and
the students, we can elevate the
education to a higher plateau - to
a higher point than where we now
stand. We can achieve this by
drawing on the vast
experience
of
our faculty - experience that they
have garnered through years, and
in some cases, extensive careers in
the work force. We,
as
students,
should be able to have every avenue
open to us, to assist us, to help us
- both in the classroom, and after
our college years are over. The
faculty is perhaps the best, yet least
travelled, avenue for this.
It has been said that the mark of
;.
a
great college is its library.
If
this
is true, then our library needs our
help. We, as students, must take a
stand, to ensure the improvement
of our chief resource center. If this
is not done, not only does the
school lose, but we become the
greatest losers.
It has not gone unnoticed that
the morale around our communi-
ty has dropped. It is my intention
to elevate that morale. This can be
achieved by including all of the
three diverse entities (commuters,
on-campus and "on-campus com-
muters"). Too often, students -
particularly
commuters
and
•
students out at Canterbury
-
feel
isolated. I truly believe that our stu-
dent government
should
be
representative of ALL of its
members, and isolate none
of
them.
What I have just said is not emp-
ty rhetoric, nor are they promises
that cannot be fulfilled by people
who are willing to exent a little ex-
tra effort to make Marist College
that best
that it
can be. I believe
that the argument for the rights of
students has been defined too
vaguely. Yes,
students
have rights,
but when fighting for them, iden-
tification of the goal is more impor-
tant than just the fight.
I believe the power that the
students possess has not been pro-
perly utilized. I am not talking of
power in the liberal sense, but
rather as a figure of speech. The
power I speak of is that of com-
munication. Nothing irks me more
than hearing the students decry
Marist as being far from what they
have wanted. These are the same
students who do nothing about it,
save continue their complaining.
People, there is a way for you to
address your problems. What is
more, is that it has always been
there. Students have a message for
the administration, about this or
Martin Camacho
a Resident Assistant and Vice Pie-
sient of Student Government. As
an RA I was able to bring activities
to my area, such as a football tour-
nament and a rape prevention
class. As Vice President, I was the
chairperson of the Club Presidents
Council. During my tenure, new
clubs and organizations were incor-
porated into Student Government.
I was also in charge of the creation
of the Culinary Committee, which
has produced improvements in the
cafeteria. I am also proud to spon-
sor theme weeks for this semester.
With the help of Campus
Ministry, the Forensics Union and
the Hispanic Club, this year Cen-
tral America Week will be a suc-
,ess. The same will occur during
Heritage Week, because now with
the sponsorship of Housing and the
cooperation from the Gaelic Socie-
ty, Black. Students Union, The
Hispanic Club, and the Interna-
tional Stuents Union, we will be
able to bring a global atmosphere
to Marist College.
Our job does not stop here.
There is still more that needs to be
done. I will work with the Resident
Student Cou,1cil to make sure that
it turns around in order to become
more involved with student govern-
ment. As my first course of action
I will make sure that the local hous;
councils become involved in the
decision-making process.
My second course of action will
be the re-creation of the Class
Council. I want to make sure that
all class presidents work with each
other towards academics, class uni-
ty, graduation, job placement, and
graduate school. Each class can
learn from one another and at the
same time, the Council of Student
Leaders will be able to help them
with their goals.
The third action I will take will
be with the Club Presidents Coun-
cil. We definitely need to look at
all the organizations and make sure
that those are not performing their
duties get back up and become ac-
tive. I will stress theme weeks and
co-sponsorship. Theme weeks are
importants, for they bring out
special topics and events and at the
same time co-sponsorship will
bring unity among clubs and
organizations.
I will also work with the com-
muters. They compose a Iar~e stu-
dent population. I will cooperate
with the commuters union in order
to develop a Student Government
newsletter that should inform them
of issues of importance. I will also
appoint commuters to Student
Government. Such appointments
are sure to keep Student Govern-
ment informed of commuters pro-
blems and at the same time will
have the representation
commuters
deserve.
I
will also address the upperclass
students, because next year there
will probably be a shortage of
housing and something needs to be
done to solve their problems. In the
Class Council I
will also
incor-
the Council of Student Leaders.
I
also want more student en-
thusiasm for sporting events. An
intense orientation program for in-
coming freshman is also needed.
Lastly, a safer way to get across
route nine to Marist East and the
North Road houses is needed.
In a meeting with Dean of Stu-
dent Affairs Gerard Cox, I learn-
ed that the president of CSL is also
involved with what is built on cam-
pus, where it goes and how soon it
goes.

that -
but have no idea how to get
it to them.
A channel for the sender already
exists, and has always been there -
in the form of the Student Body
President.
Let us together overcome the im-
age of the
apathetic
Mari st student.
Tell your Student Body President
what you care about. Let that
President be the channel to the ad-
ministration, to let them know how
the students feel. Have that Presi-
dent come and report back to you.
It is no coincidence that the of-
ficial title is Student Body Presi-
dent. He or she is your president.
Therein lies your power -
utilize

Students, Student Government,
Faculty and Administration, by
working together as a team, can ac-
complish great things. Support this
idea, by electing a candidate who
embodies this ideology. Commit
yourselves to making a difference.
porate such issues in order to ob-
tain feedback from the stuents an
their leaders.
I know there are more problems,
but that is where you come in. I
want you to get to know who we
are and what we do. We in Student
Government cannot solve all the
problems if you do not bring them
to us. There must be a new interest
in the communication between you
and student government. I will
have a ten-to IS-minute open
forum on all meetings to make sure
that we can hear all your problems.
I am a student that firmly
believes in students rights, but at
the same time I am aware that such
rights come with responsibilities.
The first one is your support for
my election and the second one is
to let me know your problems and
how I can help. I am available in
Champagnat 828, Ext. 746 and

difference because we care. I want
my experience to continue to work

Trenchcoat
tyranny
has to end
by Mary Stricker
Dan Rather wearing a tren-
chcoat in Beijing - it's just not
right.
I realize trenchcoats are not
a hot topic of entertainment,
but I feel it is due time
somebody looked into this mat-
ter and it just so happens that
I would like to be that
somebody.
How can any person,
especially Mr. Reserved Rather,
expect to be taken seriously
while wearing a tight-belted
trench coat?
I'm not talking about the vast
array of long winter coats that
are worn by one of every two
Marist students, because I
myself am one of these two, and
there is no doubt in my mind
that I can be taken seriously.
My coat is designed to keep
me warm. Trenchcoats, the
almost colorless beige rags, are
designed to make people look
suspicious, uncomfortable and
foolish.
If trench coats were meant to
be serious, why would the likes
of Inspector CJouseau, Colum-
bo and all professional flashers
choose it as a trademark? It just
doesn't make sense.
You know, I've learned to
tolerate the blue pin-striped suit,
red tie establishment, but I find
myself determined to overthrow
this trenchcoat tyranny on the
grounds that it's getting much
too close to my personal
environment.
Oh don't try to give me any
of this malarkey about how
practical trenchcoats can be in
a torrential rainstorm. I don't
buy it.
The true trenchcoat crowd
wouldn't
dream of letting
Mother Nature dampen their
brows with a taxi or limo always
within reach.
It is not of this crowd that I
want to express my disgust and
bewilderment,
however,
because these trenchcoat types
have tied one too many knots in
their "trenchbelts" to respond
to any desensitization methods.
Instead, I would like to ad-
dress those up and coming tren-
chcoat Timmys and Tammys
who seem to be not only
oblivious, but overly smug in
their
purely
ridiculous
appearance.
O.K., maybe some of you felt
a little unsure of yourselves
walking into that first internship
donning a stone-washed denim
jacket, but must this lack of
self-confidence lead to tren-
chcoat transgression?
•
Must you trenchcoat wearers
bring your debauchery
into
Skinners? Must you insist on ty-
ing those silly belts so tightly?
I don't understand you people;
Seriously folks, if you feel
you need to wear your tren-
chcoat in a hot and stuffy bar,
you need therapy.
Perhaps all of you troubled
trenchcoat folks could form a
little group to discuss openly
and honestly, your insufferable
difficulties.
Perhaps you could give the
rest of us a break by limiting
your trenchcoat wear to the
privacy of your own homes or
therapy sessions.
I'm not suggesting these poor
souls deserve any kind of grand
punishment, but I do believe it
is time they learn to exercise a
little discretion. Afterall, most
of us do not wear our loosely-
belted bathrobes past the edge
of the driveway to pick up the
paper.

Dr. David C. Reynolds has in-
itiated a series of faculty seminars
throughout the semester designed
so that teachers can receive feed-
back from their peers on research
work
not quite
ready
for
publication.
"These seminars are an attempt
to
increase
communication among
the faculty," said Reynolds, an
assistant professor of history at
Marist since 1986.
Three seminars took place last
semester. Three more
are
planned
for this semester, including the one
held on Feb. 17.
The locations for these seminars
vary. Both Lowell Thomas and the
Faculty Dining Room have been
used.
Reynolds is pleasec,l
with the at-
tendance of these seminars, which
ranges from 5-15 people. He says
the ideal number would be 8-15
people, because the larger the.
group, the harder it would be to
hold a discussion.
"It's very valuable for faculty
members
·to
be talking about their
research,"
said Dr. Milton
Teichman, professor of english.
Teichman, who spoke at the
seminar in February, presented an
introduction to an anthology of
stories he's writing and editing on
the Holocaust. He is very pleased
with the feedback he has received
from his colleagues.
Dr. Roscoe Balch, professor of
history, will present research on the
effects of moral arguments in peace
making on March 17, and Assistant
Professor of Business Ismay Force
will speak on April 14.
The seminars are primarily for
faculty and there are no immediate
plans to open the seminars to the
public.
"The seminars aren't meant to
be exclusive of students," said
Reynolds. "Eventually, resulting
efforts will be reflected in the
classroom."
Reynolds said the aim of the
faculty seminars differs from the
aim of the humanity seminars.
Humanity seminars give a presen-
tation to a large group whereas the
faculty seminars are intimate
discussions on a more academic
level.
So far all the presenters have
been from either the Department of
the Humanities or Arts & Letters,
but Reynolds hopes to extend the
topics to other departments.

They said it: The Circle's great quotations
by Ed McGarry
People say the funniest things -
Marist
people included. Here's a look back at some
of the more memorable quotations from
back issues of The Circle.
Academic affairs have always been a
popular topic at Marist - this is, after all,
a college -
and in 1982 student Matt
Chandler provided new insight into the
subject.
"The students at Marist aren't really con-
cerned with learning; thinking is not really
encouraged here," Chandler said.
Chandler, then a senior, did not say what
exactly was encouraged at Marist.
Dorms have also been a major area of
discussion at Marist.
After a 1981 fire in Champagnat Hall,
then Assistant Resident Director Tony Ashe
was asked about a possible cause.
"We've ruled out spontaneous combus-
tion," Ashe replied. Ashe failed to rule out
any other possible causes.
"Many parents were also impressed that
the walls had much less graffiti on them than
the walls of most state schools," said June
Aguilla, a student tour guide, after a day's
work in 1982.
Whether the walls did have much more
graffiti than the walls of most private schools
remained in question, however.
Probably the most ambitious dorm quota-
tion was given by the assistant dean of
students, the Rev. Richard LaMorte, in 1981.
LaMorte, always ready to put his finger
precisely on a problem, said his major con-
cern was "making the dorms a living area."
LaMorte was also known for his interest in
making the cafeteria an eating area.
In 1983 John Mar was asked to describe
the location of Marist.
"Poughkeepsie's a hell of a town if you
don't go to school here," Mar said. Mar was,
by the way, a student at Marist.
There was an outbreak of vandalism on
campus in 1981, and student Paul Palmer
was asked what should be done about the in-
.
creasing problem.
"I don't know, being that I'm a vandal,"
Palmer replied. Later reoorts that he turned
himself in for the reward money proved
untrue.
In 1981 a controversy arose over whether
students should be forced to leave campus
during holidays.
When asked his opinion. student John
Esposito replied, "Who the hell wants to stay
here is what I want to know."
After a particularly violent River Day in
1982,
Chris Campbell, a senior who helped
organize the event, said,
"If
there were less
casualties, it probably would have been the
best River Day ever."
The 1982 River Day is currently ranked
second-best ever behind the I 979 River Day,
which had only 12 casualties.
Then there's the world of sports.
In 1982 Susan Deer, women's basketball
coach, commented on Marist's move to Divi-
sion I.
"If
we break .500, that's the goal," Deer
said.
And, apparently, if the team finished
below .500, then that would become the goal.
In 1981 Mike Malet, then head football
coach and now an assistant to the athletic
director, offered a penetrating analysis into
why his team lost to Pace.
"We played very well in the first half, but
there are 60 minutes in a football game,"
Malet said.
Describing the 1983 President's· Cup
Regatta, Crew Coach Larry Davis said, "In
order to win first place overall, we would
have to win first place in almost every event
we enter."
Davis was apparently unsure whether
Marist needed to finish second in almost
every event in order to finish second overall.
Finally, despite what many people think,
Marist College is actually a school with na-
tionwide recognition, as explain by a parent
visiting for Parents Weekend in 1982.
"UCLA is known for their basketball
team
and Marist is known for its smell," the
unidentified woman said.

Ex-spy to speak
tonight at Marist
Ex-spy Peter N. James will
discuss his spy adventures, in-
cluding his experiences with
Russian spies, the CIA, the Air
Force and foreign intelligence
agents, in a lecture tonight at 8
p.m. in the Theater.
.
James has made more than
l ,000 college appearances on his
spy lecture series tour. He spoke
at Marist three years ago to a
capacity crowd in the Fireside
Lounge, said Mike Dunn, presi-
dent of the College Union
Board which is sponsoring the
event.
The slide-illustrated proj!famS
"Exposing
the Air Force
Mafia," a true story of foreign
intrigue and corruption and
"How the Russians Spy on the
U.S.," which describes how
Russian KGB and GRU acquire
top-secret U.S. information
highlight James' lectures.
James, a 1962 graduate from
Case Institute of Technology in
Cleveland, has published two
books, "The Air Force Mafia"
and "Soviet Conquest from
Space," dealing with national
security and individual rights.
He has met hundreds of high-
level Russian scientists and spies
and his secret 800-page in-
telligence assessment was the
first to document, in detail, the
existence of a Russian space
shuttle program.

Literary magazine
may go unpublished
Unless the Mosaic, Marist's
literary arts magazine, can find a
staff soon, it might not be publish-
ed for the first time in about 20
years.
Helen Arroyo, the magazine's
editor, said she wasn't prepared for
the job.
Arroyo, a sophomore from New
York City, said last year's senior
staff didn't explain the duties of the
position to her.
The magazine, which accepts
creative writings and photographs
submitted by students, faculty and
staff, must find volunteers soon in
order to survive.
"I want survival
for the
Mosaic," said Robert Lynch, assis-
tant director of college activities.
Lynch said he offered ideas to
get this year's issue started but the

ROTC's ready
for weekend contest
For the first time, the Marist
Reserve' Officer's Training Corps
will represent themselves at the
Ranger Challenge Competition this
weekend.
The ROTC used to join with
Fordham University and the John
Jay School of Law and form a
team under Fordham's name. For
the upcoming competition, the
Marist ROTC put together its own
nine-member team.
The events in the competition,
taking place at Fort Totten in
Queens, include a standard Army
physical fitness test, and a 10
kilometer run which
is
done by the
entire team in full Army uniform
with a 25-pound sack.
According to Capt. Stephen
Whitley of the ROTC, some of the
schools attending the competition
include the host, St. John's Univer-
sity, Hofstra University and St.
Peter's University.

on po/icy statement .for campus
an rea l leS
by Kevin St.Onge
Since taking over as director of
by Ann Timmons
The epidemic number of date
rapes on caµipuses nationwide is
due to the lack of direct and open
communication, a speaker told
students last Tuesday night in the
Fireside Lounge.
"Communicating to your.part-
ner exactly what your intentions are
can help decrease the possibility of
date rape," Alma Howard, teen
life coordinator of the Task Force
for Child Protection, told a most-
ly female group of about 30
students. The lecture was spoQ-
sored by the Social Work Club.
Students
often talk about
everything but their sexual inten-
tions, and this is when mixed
messages are sent; neither partner
knows what the other one wants,
Howard said.
Howard defined date, or ac-
quaintance, rape as "forced inter-
course with someone you know or
are on a date with."
"If
there is no consent, then it
is legally considered rape," she
said. "Consent is an active thing."
Howard quoted figures from a
study done by Dean Kilpatrick,
"Acquaintance versus Stranger
Rape," where he interviewed col-
lege students.
The study said 25 percent of the
women interviewed were legally
raped or victims of an attempted
rape, and
7. 7
percent of the men
had raped or attempted to rape
since age 14.
Approximately 57 percent of the
rapes were by a dating partner and
Alma Howard makes a point during her lecture on date rape
last week. During the lecture, sponsored the Social Work Club,
Howard discussed the problems and myths of date rape.
84
percent by acquaintances.
Howard cited 41 percent of the vic-
tims did not view it as rape and less
than 30 percent of these rapes were
never reported.
Howard
said people have
misconceptions about date rape:
-
Rape takes a lot of physical
force.
-
If you are raped by a
boyfriend or acquaintance, it is not
really considered rape.
- If
a woman is acting or dress-
ing seductively, she is asking to be
raped.
-
When a women says no, she
doesn't really mean it.
-
Nice girls don't get raped.
Howard said women can avoid
date rape by developing their own
personal code of ethics, com-
municating their limitations by
(Photo by Robert Jeannette)
voicing sexual intentions and to
trust gut feelings.
"If
you feel very uncomfortable
or the guy seems to be talking over
your head or invading your per-
sonal space, then maybe you
should get yourself out of that
situation," Howard said.
Howard said she is pleased to see
Marist is addressing the issue
because some colleges hide it, fear-
ing an enrollment decrease.
"Parents will not want to pay for
tuition and students will not want
to attend a college where date rape
is rampant," she said.
Counseling for students who
have been raped is available
through the Personal Development
Center in the Byrne House and at
St. Francis Hospital's Crime Vic-
tim Center.
The Student Affairs Office said
it is continuing to upgrade sexual
awareness programming to educate
students on a growing national pro-
blem -
date rape.
The Office of Housing and
Residential Life and Counseling
Services have been working
together on a series of sexual expec-
tation workshops since last year.
Roberta Amato, coordinator of
Counseling Service, says she hopes
to work out a complete sexual
awareness policy for Marist begin-
ning this spring.
The intent of the policy, accor-
ding to Amato, will be to increase
student awareness of sex crimes.
Rape is defined as forced sexual
intercourse as a result of excessive
alcohol, drugs or threats, according
to a report in the April 1987 issue
of the Journal of Consulting and
Clinical Psychology. Date rape or
acquaintance rape is by a person
known to the victim.
The continuation of current
workshops and possible revisions
to the freshmen one-day orienta-
tion procedure will be reviewed,
said Amato.
"The Student Affairs Office and
my counseling staff are in a state
of information gathering so that
when we are ready, we might in-
stitute a policy that is right for
Marist," said Amato.
security June 1, 1988, Joseph Leary
reports there have been no legal
charges or official reports of rape
or sexual assault at Marist.
But many date
rapes go
unreported because the victim feels
a sense of guilt and responsibility,
according
to the Assembly
Republican Task Force report on
sexual assault in New York state in
1987.
At least one national survey
estimates that 45 percent of all
rapes go unreported.
Racism and rape were discussed
at a recent administration meeting
after Dean of Student Affairs
Gerard Cox circulated material on
both subjects to department heads.
A tentative agenda was set for
developing
policies
for the
problems.
Neither Amato nor Director of
Health Services Jane O'Brien
would disclose the number of date
rape victims that have sought
clinical or counseling help at
Marist.
Both O'Brien and Amato said
they have dealt with rape victims
but they said date rape was not
commonly reported at Marist.
Amato said as long as the
possibility exists, Marist students
might find themselves in com-
promising situations that the school
is responsible
for providing
necessary assistance.

"I'm ·afraid if I was forced to
perform community seryice in ex-
change for financial aid, I wouldn't
have the same feeling about it I
have now," said Timmons, from
Malone, N.Y.
Timmons, one of three children
in her family now in college, said
the national
service plan is
discriminatory because it forces
students who need financial aid for
• college· to make a choice. The
students able to afford a college
education don't have to make the
same choice, she said.
"I
wouldn't mind doing com-
munity service if it was my choice,"
said Nalo Hampton, a sophomore
fashion major.
Hampton relies heavily on finan-
cial aid to support her college
education. She said the plan is un-
fair because some people would be
unable to do national service and
exceptions would have to be made.
Students needing financial aid
would ·have to complete the na-
tional service requirement before
they could start their college
education.
"I wouldn't want to delay my
education.''
said sophomore
business major Yolanda Arm-

Who's
in a
name? Behind Marist's buildings
by Pamela Shewchuk
It's the question that comes up
every time you walk around cam-
pus: Who are these people and
what are their names doing on our
buildings?
Back in 1905 the Marist Brothers
obtained their first piece of land in
the United States: the MacPherson
Estate in Poughkeepsie, where
Marist now stands.
Three buildings from the original
estate still stand today, Greystone,
St. Peter's and the Gatehouse.
While it is not known when
Greystone got its name, the
building was used on the original
estate as a carriage house and later
as a stable for champion race
horses.
St. Peter's was named in honor
of the Brothers who taught at St.
Peter's School in Poughkeepsie.
The majority of the buildings on
campus are named after· Marist
Brothers. Several of the structures
- including Donnelly, Adrian and
Fontaine halls - were constructed
by the Marist Brothers themselves. •
Singers prepare .•
for tour abroad
by Michael Touhey
The Marist Singers' spring
concert schedule will culminate
with a two week tour of
England and Wales, according
to Dorothy Ann Davis, the
group's leader.
Davis, director of music at
Marist, said about 30 of the
Marist Singers will join the tour
which is scheduled to leave on
May 22. The group
will
perform
at cultural halls and colleges -
including one ·or the colleges of
Oxford University, she said.
The Marist Singers are not
unfamiliar :with international
travel. The group toured
Australia ·and',:,lew Zealand in
1987 and Israel and Egypt in
1984.
•
"It
is
a
great opportunity for
a lot of people," said jun!or
Rob Moore of the upcommg
trip .. "Some people may never
go overseas again."
Moore,
who
travelled
overseas with the group in 1987;
believes there's considerable in-
terest abroao in American col-
lege performers. In Australia,
Donnelly Hall was built under
the direction of Brother Nilus Vin-
cent Donnelly, director of con-
struction. Until last year, Donnel-
ly lived in the apartment on top of
Champagnat Hall. He is now
retired and living in Florid~.
Adrian Hall is named for
another brother, Adrian August
Lambert who taught and con-
tributed to the Marist community
for 20 years.
Fontaine Hall, which • now
houses faculty offices but once
was
used as the monastery for the stu-
dent Marist Brothers, honors
Brother Paul Ambrose Fontaine,
who served as college president for
two years. Brother Ambrose played
a significant role in the transforma-
tion of Marist from a two-year
junior college to a four-year liberal
. arts college.
fo
1961 Marist consisted only of
the area around St. Peter's, Don-
nelly, Greystcine and Fontaine. But
in
June of that year· the college·
·received confirmation
of
a
govern-·
ment loan for a dormitory.
That building is now known as
Sheahan Hall and is named after
Monsignor J.F. Sheahan, pastor of
a local church. He was a good
friend of the Marist Brothers and
used his political influence to help
the Brothers pµrchase the land
which today is ·1h~ northern end of
campus.
As enrollment continued to in-
crease, it was necessary to build
another dorm. Leo Hall was
dedicated to the memory of
Brother Leo Brouilette, who was
responsible for securing the original
charter for the Marist Normal
Training School in 1928.
Champagnat Hall was dedicated
in honor of Marcellin Cham-
pagnat, a French priest who was
founder of the Marist Brothers of
the Schools.
Because of its location on the
Hudson, Marist has had many
students involved in sculling and
boating
activities. Because there
was so much interest a boathouse

The building was funded by local
pupils of Brother Joannes Marius
Bergeron. The chairman of the
fund drive, William Martin, a local
insurance agent, died before • the
compietion of the boathouse.
Brother Joannes requested the
boathouse be named in memory of
Martin.
Up the road from the boathouse
are two octagonal buildings known
as Benoit and Gregory houses. The
two structures serve as student dor-
mitories. Benoit was named in
memory of Brother Francis Xavier
Benoit who taught at Marist for 19
years.
Gregory House was named in
memory
of Brother
Joseph'
Gregory Marchessault, who was
chairman of the physics depart-
ment at Marist at the time of his
death in 1969 at age 39.
The Gartland Commons Apart-
upperclassman housing. The apart-
ments were named after attorney
John J. Gartland, Jr.,who has been
involved in the Marist community
since the 1950's, when he served
as
advisor to the founding president.
Gartland still remains . part of
Marist as
a
member of the Board
of Trustees and head of. the
McCann Foundation.
Continuing ·through 'the. sou.th
gate to the left on an acre of land
stands the James J. McCann
Recreation Center. The building
was built in 1977 by gifts from
alumni, faculty and friends of the
college. The McCann Foundation
was set up in honor of James
J.
McCann, a prominent . figure
throughout the Poughkeepsie area.

by Pamela Shewchuk
These have not been easy times for the women's swim-
ming team. In three seasons, the swimmers have had three
different coaches. The beginning of this season, the team
had no coach at all.
That meant last fall seniors Karen Oitzinger and Jackie
Hackett were not just swimmers and co-captains but also
organizers of practices and fund raisers. They also became
something else: better friends.
_
"Karen and I dealt with three diffemet coaches, .. says
Hackett. "Through all the changes, our friendship was
the one stable thing."
Hackett from Orlando, Fla., and Oitzinger from Port
Washington, N.Y., met freshman year when they both
went out for the team. Both swim the 100-and 200-yard
backstrokes. Even though they compete in the same
events, they say they don't feel competitive.
"It
is a given that she will come in first and I'll come
in second or third," says Hackett. She did add if it were
any other event it might be a different story.
The two, now housemates, were not instant friends.
"We knew each other but we were swimming friends and
just that," says Oitzinger.
When junior year came around, the team was all
together and doing well. In fact, they were conference
champions. Oitzinger took first in the 100-and 200-yard
backstroke events in the championship meet. Hackett cap-
tured third in the 100-and 200- yard backstroke events,
just as she predicted. Hackett also took third in the con-
ference in the 100-yard butterfly event.
Riding the high of that season, Hackett and Oitzinger
became good friends. "We got more into swimming and
we had more in common as the season w_ent on," said
Oitzinger. The co-captains became known as the
"backstroke buddies."
Oitzinger said she likes to have her teammate and friend
in the next lane. ''The two of us are a team. I feel alone.
It's not enough support when she's not there."
Being both friends and captains has proven to be a two-
way street. "As captains our friendship grew stronger.
We are like parents. We learned how to work together
in tough conditions," said Oitzinger. "Because we work
well together I think the team is able to relate to us. When
someone has a problem we both try to talk to her. I pro-
bably talk too much. I get more in-depth. Jackie is more
passive but equally involved in her own way."
-
The two take on different roles as captains. Oitzinger
is more the administrative person, organizing the fund-
raisers and getting bathing suits and sweatshirts.
Hackett looks at her position as more of a personnel
director, making sure the team is happy and all together.
Hackett jokes about their positions. ''She gets the sweat-
shirts, and I make sure there's people to wear them."
Friendship has its benefits in competition as well. At
the starting blocks both captains know exactly what to
tell each other. And when it's all over both swimmers tum
to each other and ask how the other felt.
"I always ask Jackie how she felt. It's out of concern
not as just another swimmer, but as a friend," said
Oitzinger.

Diver Lisa Burgbacher finished ninth in both the
1- and 3-meter competitions at the Eastern Women's
Swimming League Championships at Penn State this
past weekend.
Sophomore Kinda Predmore had a little tougher
time, finishing 20th in the 200-meter butter fly in 2
minutes, 10.33 seconds.
Burghbacher tallied 365.95 points off the low board
and 380.45 off the high board. Neither score was a
personal best, according to Coach Rena Patierno.
The women were competing against bigger and
stronger schools and the competition was really tough,
said coach Rena Patierno.
Burgbacher and Predmore had to surpass standard
point totals and times during the regular season to
qualify for the championships.
This weekend, five Marist ·swimmers will compete
in the ECAC Championships. Predmore, Karen Oit-
zinger, Mary Dolan, Jeanne Cleary, and Alicia Sul-
ing will be swimming for the Lady Red Foxes. These
swimmers will be competing individually and in relays,
said Patierno.
"Once again, we will be going up against bigger and
stronger schools. This will be a strictly individual event
for the girls," said Patierno. "They will all swim well
because they have been training hard. It should be a
lot of fun."

The hockey team closed the
regular season Monday night with
a 7-2 thrashing of Manhattan at
West Point's Tate Rink.
The Red Foxes scored four third-
period goals to turn a close game

close, 3-1 after two periods, but
with only IO players dressed for the
game they simply could not stay
with Marist, which held a

Please,· remember
by
Tim Besser
It's over.
The men's basketbali team has
completed its sentence and next
season will again b~ eligible
for
postseason play
·and
the NCAA
Tournament.
It will be tough in a couple of
weeks to sit and watch the tourna-
ment seeding show on CBS and
know that the Red Foxes, playing
perhaps their best ball of the
season, won't be mentioned. I have
my doubts as to whether Robert
Morris could have taken a third
game from the Foxes this season,
but the point is moot. Marist will
not be playing in the Northeast
Conference tournament.
I just hope that when Coach
Dave Magarity, Athletic Director
Brian Colleary, President Dennis
Murray and the assistant coaches
watch the seeding show they think
about how they are feeling, and
remember it.
Robert Morris or Fairleigh
Dickinson or another conference
team will have the pleasure of be-
ing blown out by Arizona or
Oklahoma or another Top Ten
team in two weeks. But Morris or
FDU also has a chance to be this
year's Richmond or Austin Peay.
It's great to have a shot isn't it? I'll
never forget the feelin~ when the
Red Foxes led Georgia Tech in the
second half of their opening round
game in 1986. It wasn't even bad
being blown out by Pitt the next
year. There were just 64 teams in
the field and Marist was one of
them. The opportunity is what it is
all about. Please, don't lose that
opportunity again.
Granted, the problems and
subsequent sanctions were not the
fault of Magarity, Colleary and
Murray. But it is their job to make
sure that what happened then never
gets repeated. Please, remember
that.
These last two years have been
tough on the coaches, tough on the
fans and most importantly tough
on the players.
The coaches had to try and
motivate the players this season
when there was nothing to play for
except pride. The fans were
screaming for the team, but knew,
after the second loss to Robert
Morris, there was nothing to
scream for. And the players. They
knew the chances of winning the
conference title, which was all they
could gun for, were all but gone
with that loss. You couldn't say
"We'll get them in the conference
tournament," because for Marist
there is no conference tournament
this year. Please, remember that
feeling of helplessness.
injuries. After sitting out six
games at the beginning of the
season, he never reached the level
of output that was expected.
Celestine will have to become a
key man inside next year to make
the Red Foxes' outside shooting
effective.
Ted Sbarpenter -
B-
As the
physical forward on the Red Foxes,
Sharpenter's role basically was to
come in and crash the boards and
make things happen for Marist.
Sharpenter saw more time this
year than last and played well when
filling in for the injured Celestine.
Reggie Chambers - B When the
Red Foxes needed a spark, this is
where they turned. Chambers made
things happen when he was on the
court - sometimes for the better,
sometimes not.
With the potential to be one of
the best guards to pass through
Marist, Chambers' flashy play was
often unexpected by teammates,
resulting in turnovers. With more
work as a team, the Red Foxes
should be able to adapt to
Chambers' style.
Chambers exciting play could
eventually lead Marist back to the
NCAA tournament.
Bobby Reasbeck - C- Reasbeck
began the season coming off the
bench and putting in quality
minutes. He did not set any scor-
ing records but that was not his
job.
After the West Coast trip,
Reasbeck's minutes became very
limited and his roie diminished
drastically. Reasbeck could be a
strong part of the offense next year
if he gets his chance.
Reggie Gaut -
D
Like
Reasbeck; Gaut played off the
bench at the beginning of the
season. He, too, was exiled to the
bench and saw even less time than
Reasbeck the second half of the
season.
Tom Fitzsimons -
C-
Fitz-
simons was called on early in the
year to fill in for the injured
Celestine and, for a freshman,
answered well. After Celestine's
return, Fitzimons played, it seems.
only when others were in foul trou-
ble. Fitzsimons will be an impor-
-
tant part of next year's game plan.
George Siegrist -
B
Siegrist's
role this year was similar to
Sharpenter's -
except Siegrist
wasn't expected to do a lot of scor-
ing. He came in - picked up a cou-
ple of contact fouls - and came
back out.
Matt
Schoenfeld
C
Schoenfeld completed his career
last Thursday with his first start.
Throughout the season, as well as
his career, he put his time in dur-
ing practice and did what he was
expected to do.
Greg Clarke -
Incomplete
Andy Lake -
Incomplete
John Slattery -
Incomplete
Freshman Clarke saw very
limited time this year but was im-
pressive when he did play. He will
be a useful guard off the bench.
Lake and Slattery will each have
four more years to prove
themselves as they were both red-
shirted this season.

changes to shut down the scoring
threats of Loyola's Lorrie Schen-
ning and Justine Shay.
After using a press at the start of
the game, Marist used a half-court
trap in the second half to shut
down Schenning and limit Shay
four points. The two had combin-
ed for 20 of Loyola's 28 first half
points.
"Monica
(O'Halloran)
and
Maureen (Dowe) did a real nice job
in guarding Schenning," said
Babineau.
One of the keys to the game was
the offensive rebounding, accor-
ding to Babineau.
Marist had only three offensive
rebounds in the first half but pull-
ed down 12 in the second half with
Kim Smith-Bey leading the team
with six.
"We weren't going to the board,
well in the first half and I was kind
of upset with that," said Babineau.
Marist had five players in dou-
ble figures with Nancy Holbrook
leading the team with 14 points,
and senior Jacaklyn O'Neil had a
team-high
IO
rebounds in the final
regular-season home game of her
career.

Granted, not too many people in

Red Foxes
to have a season.much
above .500. The team lived up to
its expectations, finishing with a
13-15 record. The way it·reached
that record
is
what made the season
so strange.
There were a few times during
the season· when
·the

to lack enthusiasm - that turned
out to be a major factor as_

Ladies-tie
for 2nd
in
NEC
by
David Blondin
The Women's basketball team
defeated Northeast Conference
rival Loyola College 62-57 last Fri-
day as the Red Foxes moved past
Monmouth College, into a second
place tie with Robert Morris Col-
lege in the the NEC.
Marist raised its record to 12-12
overall and 10-4 in the. conference
as the it heads into the final week
of play. Marist played Fordham
University on Monday, results were
not available at press time. The
Lady Red Foxes travel to
St.
Fran-
cis (Pa.) tonight and conclude their
season at Robert Morris College on
Saturday.
The win over Loyola marked six
consecutive conference victories for
the Red Foxes, with th~ir last loss
coming against conference leading
Wagner College on Feb. 4.
Marist had its problems with the
sixth-place Greyhounds, finding
itself trailing at -halftime 28-22.
''We
jumpecl out quick 8-2 and
10-4," said Coach Ken Babineau.
"Then Danielle (Galarneau) got in-
to
.early
foul trouble."
Galarneau, who played only
eightminutesin the first half, foul-
ed out in the second half for the
fifth time this season: She is
averaging almost four fouls a
game.
When Galarneau is in foul trou-
ble, aabineau relies on sophomore
Ruth HaUey to fill the gap.
Although she is not the offensive
threat that Galarneau is, she gets
the job down defensively - block-
ing two shots ~gainst Loyola. She
also ranks fouth on the team in re-
bounds': 'this
.season
with 81.·

simply a d~d spot when
Galarneau was on the. bench -

in the f"rrst half.

up the ~epartures of Rik Smits and

think they
are relevant here. Besides the loss
of a rebounding.edge,

"We took shots that we
sho~dn't have taken, we were
rushing the shots to much," said
Babineau.
J
Playing LSU, UConn and
l,oyola Marymount in the first
·~even
games of the season is tough
and it may have set a tone for the
year, but a lot revolves around
those games Marist could have
won. All the blame can't be plac-
ed on the enthusiasm factor or the
officials. An average team had an
average year.

Miro
Pecarski
-
B
From the
outset of the season, Pecarski was
the focus of the team. Not only did
he have to replace the most
dominating
•
center Marist had
known, but he also had the added
pressure of impressing NBA scouts.
The Red Foxes did not control
the conference as in recent years.
.
but Pecarski had a good year
anyway. He scored in double
figures in every game this year and
he established numerous career
highs including points, rebounds
and blocks. Pecarski could have
posted better stats but he couldn't
have worked much harder.
John Kijonek - B The coaches
expected a big year from the senior
forward and for the most part they
got it.
Kijonek scored his 1,000th point
with a 34-point perfonnance last
Thursday - onlv the second time
in his career he has scored more
than 30 (he scored 36 this year at
Loyola Marymount).
Kijonek seemed to abandon his
outside shooting part way through
the year and began to drive to the
basket. If he had been better able
to combine the two, he would have
been even more of a threat.
Joey O'Connor -
c•
O'Connor
showed his athletic ability and great
shooting touch many times this
year. The major drawback to his
season is that he is not a point
guard.
He scored a career-high 2S points
against St. Francis (Pa.) this year
-
including S-for-6 from 3-point
range. With an outside touch like
that, he could be better worked in-
to the offense.
•
Steve Patern,o
- B Speaking of
an outside touch...
•
When Paterno was hot this year,
he was hot. He scored a career-high
26 points against Drexel last week
- including six 3-pointers. In ad-
dition to his scoring, Paterno also
grabbed some key rebounds to
spark the Red Foxes.
If Paterno and O'Connor are us-
ed effectively next year, the Red
Foxes outside game could be a
greater threat than this year.

cond consecutive year, Celestine

To get Qack iµto the flow, the
Lady Fo;,ces
came o_ut
in the second
half using a different offense to
break down Loyola's zone.
"Our normal offense was o,ff, so
at the half we changed," said
Babµieau. "We played 2-1-2 which
is more o_f
a.passing type of game."
The Lady Foxes scored 40 points
in the second half to overcome the
halftime deficit, led by Mary
O'Brien and Kim Smith-Bey.
O'Brien sparked the offense with
10 points while ~mith-Bey grabb-
ed key offensive rebounds and
scored Qn the follow-up shots.
