River Day
by Ilse Martin
Mud .. If you went to fast Friday's second annual
college-sanctioned River Day, it was
-
unavoidable.
The ingredients for a good time were 450 up-
perclassmen, 26 kegs of Mei.ster Bi-au and mud.
But although most consider the event successful,
River Day organizers said they were
.disappointed
in
the number of faculty who attended.
."We.had
expected more because we even called a
number of faculty and invited them," said sen_ior
Margaret Breslin, a member of t_he River· Day
committee.
•
.
-
Some administrators, professors and other facul-
ty reportedly attended, but Pierce Redmond, a senior
.
committee member. said it seemed to be a relatively
small number .
.
Peter Amato, assistant dean of student affairs, said,
'.'It was by and large an excellent event and I was very
pleased with the way it was organized."
There were a couple of scuffles between students,
but no one was seriously injured, according to Joseph.
Leary, director of safety and security.
Students and faculty said the fights were taken care
of quickly and did not detract from the festivities.
Students were required to show a driver's license and
a Marist I.D., arid 17 security guards surrounded the
field to preverit under,aged students from entering.
The WPDH Boombox provided the music after be-
ing towed across the field early in the day because it
was stuck in the mud. The Boombox left at 3:30 p.m.
because of a previous
.engagement.
Most students were smeared with mud from head
to toe as they left the athletic fields behind the
Gartland Commons Apartments ,vhen the event end-
ed at about 4:30 p.m.
"I don't think (the mud) was a drawback -
students seemed to enjoy it," Leary said.
Bob Lynch, assistant director of student activities,
said:
"It
was interesting to see everyone in mud. It
was an event that the seniors enjoyed, celebrating their
last days at Marist."
In addition to the van service to the Canterbury
Apartments, two vans were available to drive students
home at the end of the day, but only three or four
used 'them, Leary said.
Student, leaders give support

The Council of Student Leaders
decided last week to support the
sale of condoms in the bookstore
as
•
long as imformation about
AIDS and safe sex is also made
available, according to CSL Presi-
dent Jeff Ferony.
The issue, which had been
brought up at a CSL meeting
earlier in the year, was raised again
bv the Students for Students'
Rights group about a month ago,
Ferony said.
Although
CSL
does
not
recognize Students for Students'
Rights as a chartered organization,
CSL members do agree with the
group that there is support for, and
a need for, the sale of condoms on
campus, Ferony said. CSL decid-
ed to support the idea at a meeting
last Friday.
Although some at Marist point
say the sale of condoms would l)rO-
mote promiscuity, Ferony says in-
stead that condom sale accom-
panied with information promotes
responsibility.
"We're not in favor of selling
them in bathrooms for a last
minute type of thing; that would be
promoting sex," Ferony said.
"We're in favor of selling condoms
in the bookstore with additional° in-
formation because we feel it pro•
motes responsibility."
Marlon Hosang, president of the
Resident Student Council, agreed
with Ferony a11d said the condom
issue is a legitimate concern at
Marist,
one that
is widely
supported.
Hosang said now that the issue
has the support of the student
government, he intends to ap-
proach Anthony Campilii, the col-
•
lege's chief finance officer who is
in charge of the bookstore .
.
"I would like to get together
with him and discuss the merits of
selling condoms on campus," he
said. "It's not something that
should be done rebelliously. It has
to
be handled carefully and in an
adult fashion."

New class schedule
to ·upset activities?
by Ann Timmons
• '- !
'
The new schedule for the fall of
1989, which
will replace two activi-
ty periods with a class slot, has left
the leaders of some of. Marist's
clubs and organizations wondering
when they will have time to con-
duct their functions.
The only schedule alteration for
next semester will be the moving of
the free activity slots and adding a
class in its place. Classes in the new
slot 14 will meet Tuesdays at I p.m.
and Fridays at 11 :25 a.m.
According to the Registrar's Of-
fice,
27
classes have already been
scheduled in this new slot for the
fall.
"The number of classes in the
new slot could go as high as
37
because we are in need of extra
classroom space,"
said Marc
vanderHeyden, vice _pr,esident of
. academic affairs.
Marist needs an .expanded
schedule because classroom space
will decrease when the college
removes five classrooms from
Marist East to comply with the fire
code.
The new time slots designated
for activity periods will be moved
to Friday afternoon at 2:35 p.m.
and 4:10 p.m.
Betty Yeaglin, director of Col-
lege Activities ·said she was surpris-
ed she was not notified of· the
definite change, and noted it would
greatly affect programming and ac-
tivity_ planning
by
her
office .
Jeff Ferony, president of student
gqvernment, estimated about 20 or
more groups, including the Coun-
cil of Student Leaders, would be
affected by the change. He said he
has unsuccessfully tried to get some
answers from the administration as
to the reasoning behind the
schedule adjustment.
"Before I heard about this
change, we were thinking of ask-
ing the administration for more ac-
tivity periods," Ferony said. "The
new slots may as well not exist,
because it is coo late in the week to
get things accomplished and no one
wants
to
meet
on
Friday
afternoons.

Club used the Friday time s\ot to

Center in Poughkeepsie, but next

"We have used this free
slot for
many years not only
to hold
meetings but to participate in .
events," said Kristin Siebrecht,
president of the Psychology Club.
Because of the change, Siebrecht
estimated that the club may lose
about one third of its members who
commute and cannot make late Fri-
day or evening meetings. --

by Holly Gallo
At
15,
Robert Watson took a
trip into the Deep South, to Men-
don Hall, Miss. It was to be the
beginning of a journey Watson is
still on.
"We saw a community pull itself
up by.the bootstraps, as opposed
to waiting for any federal aid to
become
available,"
Watson
remembers of the Mississippi trip,
which was ·sponsored by Beulah
Baptist Church of Poughkeepsie.
Shortly afterwards, Watson, a
Poughkeepsie native and 1988
Marist graduate, joined with three
other high school classmates to
fourid a community
service
organization for local youths. He
has been changing the Jives of
young people ever since.·
Watson describes the non-profit
organization-, Harambee, as "not
an organization in its truest sense,
but a spirit, a way of being."

Several Marist alumni, par-
ticipating •in- a communications
seminar, were greeted by a light
turnout of under IO students and
.faculty members . .Jast week fo, a
series of mock job· interviews.
Highlighting the event were John
Mulvey, vice president of Human
Resources at MTV Networks and
a 1974 Marist graduate, and Joe
Hines, senior personnel advisor at
IBM and a 1973 Marist graduate.
A total of seven businessmen and
women from New York City and

Success prompts changes
in Greenpeace's concerns
• by Michael Decosta
Greenpeace, long affiliated with
the cause to save the whales, has .
started its 18th year of existence by
refocusing_ its attention on the
plight of other non-aquatic animal
and environmental issues, accor-
ding to Christopher Childs, the
organization's
unofficial head
speaker.
Childs, presented a two-hour
slide-illustrated lecture last week to
about 45 students and faculty en-
titled "Greenpeace: Past, Present,
and Future."
inexpensive process does not harm
the animals, Childs said.
Many other "less glamorous"
animals such as giant sea turtles,
kangaroos, dolphins, puffins and
wolve~, no'Y require the group's
attention.
Human mistreatment of these
animals, Childs said, put them in
jeopardy prompting Greenpeace to
start world-wide campaigns on
their behalf.
The group has also increasingly
focused on environmental issues
that may effect the world's
ecosystem, according to Childs.
Augustine Nolan, assistant pro-
fessor
of
communications,
monitored the prepared interviews
and asked for student feedback.

to senior Tom Nesbitt at last week's internship seminar.

The group's success in rescuing
the endangered whales prompted
them to refocus its attention,
Childs said. "In a little over a
dozen years," he said, "we have
brought the whaling industry to a
virtual standstill."
Only three countries - Iceland,
Japan and Norway - continue to
hunt the mammals allegedly for
research purposes.
"We like to be very visual when
protesting these issues," he said.
"Publicity is a big way of gaining
support."
If it was publicity that members
were looking for, they found it in
I 987 when
35
'peacers hung from
Williamsburg Bridge over the East
River in New York City to stop the
path of a sludge bar. One
Greenpeace swimmer even went as
far as to grab the bow of a passing
U.S. Naval nuclear-powered war
ship in San Francisco Harbor.
After beginning the seminar by
reading a list of approximately 25
internship opportunities, Nolan
remarked on. the light turnout.
"Hopefully the quality (of the
seminar) doesn't reflect the quan-
tity (of students)," he said.
Mulvey suggested that students .
take an aggressive approach to an
interview. "Don't be afraid to say
'I want your job' to the inter-
viewer, he said. "It's also impor-
tant to do som<; homework on the
company.''
Hines took part in a very unique
interview conducted by Mike
Dvorosik, communications opera-
tions manager at IBM.
Hines is blind, and the mock in-
terview revolved around this han-
dicap. Dvorocsik, repeatedly call-
ed attention to Hines handicap as
possibly hindering his ability to do
the job.
Hines, who was not fazed by the
remarks,constantly referred to his
qualifications and experience in the
type of job he was applying for.
Dvorocsik and Hines were play-
ing out parts that showed not all in-
terviews are conducted in textbook
manner.
Most in attendance agreed being
prepared for an interview should
include having questions ready.
"Have a question that's really
important and shows (the inter-
viewer) that
you did your
homework on the company,"
Mulvey said.
"If
resumes are
basically the same, it's the ques-
tions that they ask, the way that
they look, the research that they've
done that can really make the
difference."
The group is also shifting its at-
tention away from one of its more
noted animals, baby Harp seals,
because of the relative success it has
had in preventing their slaughter,
Childs said.
The baby seals are hunted for
their white fur coats used in mak-
ing winter hats and gloves.
Greenpeace has set out to spray
paint them with green dye to render
the pelts useless to the hunters. The
Childs said Greenpeace is also
forming a group called Student En-
vironmental Action Campaign,
SEAC, on colleges all over the
country. The group will try to get
students more involved with en-
vironmental issues.
Registrar offers tips on avoiding add/ drop blues
by Kathleen Oremus
The good news is students have
received their fall 1989 class
schedules. The bad news is some
students will have to make schedule
adjustments at 1\dd/drop.
To insure priority in the classe_s
they need, students will add/drop
on assigned days determined by
class
(junior,
sophomore,
freshmen),
according
to the
Registrar's Office.
Students
can
add/drop on
April
20, 21, 24 and
25. A
letter
was sent
to all students on April 13 by the
Registrar's Office outlining the
add/drop schedule and procedures.
Registration figures for full-time
students were up despite concern
that some students would not see
their advisers to register. Reports
show that about 200 full-time
students did not register:· Excluding •
expected May graduates, 2,225 full-
time students were eligible to
register,

a successful and more pleasant time
at add/drop:
-
Do see your adviser before
you add/drop. His/her signature is
not required but your adviser can
help you make alternate course
selections so your first visit to
add/ drop is your last.
•
- Do have your add/drop form
filled out completely so you don't
hold up the Jine or run
the
risk of
being sent to the back of the line.
- Do make sure you have com-
pleted any prerequisites necessary
for a course before attempting to
add it. The Registrar's Office staff
is not allowed to accept bribes.
-
Don't try and make your
writing look like an instructor's or
chairperson's on an override card.
You'll get caught.
- Do
make sure any courses you
add can be used to fulfill your
overall requirements. Random
selection
is
not
advised.
- Don't camp out overnight in
front of the add/drop entrance.
This tactic will not guarantee get-
ting the class you need. In fact,
your chances might be better after
there's been some add/drop activi-
ty. Get a good night's sleep instead.
-
Do remember this is the last
chance to make course changes
before classes begin in September.
Studen~s
who did not -cel!,iste-c
during the registration period can
do so at add/drop.
She doesn't expect add/drop ac-
tivity to be too hectic since 600
graduating seniors won't need to
make changes, said lvankovic.

'Pledge·' unpopular
-
and necessary
Booze, noise and general rowdiness. A New York Ranger game
at Madison Square Garden'? River Day?
Try last year's Commencement ceremony - where many loud,
champagne-toting graduates ruined what was supposed to be a
special and dignified event.
The administration has attempted to save this year's Com-
mencement from such behavior, requiring seniors to sign a pledge
concerning the consumption of alcohol on the day of the
ceremony.
·
In signing the pledge, seniors agree to refrain from drinking
during the pre-ceremony lineup or during the ceremony itself.
Seniors who violate this agreement face expulsion from the
ceremony as well as a delay of up to one year in receiving their
diplomas.
Some seniors say they feel the administration should merely
trust them to remain civil during the ceremony -
a novel, yet
unrealistic idea considering the actions of past graduating classes.
Some seniors say they feel that, by being required to sign the
pledge, they are being treated like they are in high school. Of
course, the behavior at last year's ceremony was reminiscent of
lunchtime in an elementary school cafeteria, so the action seems
justified.
The Commencement ceremony, as the pledge states, "is an im-
portant academic event, which celebrates th_e collective achieve-
ment of the class of 1989." Civilized, respectful behavior
_is
not
too much to ask for this one ceremony out of the entire week of
events planned just for seniors.
Those seniors who wish to act otherwise will have plenty of op-
portunities to do so during Senior Week.
Given the events of Commencements past, the administration
can no longer afford to just hope that seniors will not destroy
the dignity and meaning of the Commencement ceremony.

River-dazed

It was all very blurry to me.
Awakening to the chanting
chorus of, "It's River Day, It's
River Day," at 9:00 a.m.,.
followed
shortly
by the
ceremonius rolling in of the first
keg at 9:30, is probably not an
intellectual endeavor.
Even though River Day has
lost most of its spontaneity and
fallen short of expectations to a
•
degree, it's still River Day.
•
Let's face it -
even though
it's sanctioned by the school, it
still ranks with Boardy Barn and
Alumni Weekend as one of the
most revered and admired
holidays on the calendar;
Although it's now almost an
exclusive party for seniors, in-
stead of the bonding party it
should be, we should all regard
it with high esteem.
I'll bet many of you didn't
know that all Marist grads in the

force are exempt from

It doesn't just end when you
get the piece of paper and walk

The true human cost of the profit game
by Rajnish Manohar
Can we survive with can-
nibalism? In his popular classic
"qrowing
Up Absurd,"
Paui
Ooodman felt the greatest problem
for youth is how to grow up in a
c~lture in which transparent
d1s~o1:1esty
and cynicism blight
their mgenuous faith in concepts
such as "nobility," "community"
and honest "manly" work.
. What was Bob Dylan complain-
mg a_b~ut when he sang, "I've got
nothm , ma, to live
·up
to?"
In the 1980s, disillusionment
does not appear to have gone away.
It has only mutated into an even
more grotesque, angry, wounded
monster on the prowl. Crack ap-
pears to have become the "opium
of the people." The only incentive
for survival is escape to the "gild-
ed cage" of IBM and the other in-
terglobal leeches which survive on
a daily menu of competition - this
competition being the roots
.of
a
capitalistic society based upon free
enterprise.
Where is America going to be
when our fields are barren? In the
closed room of the rat race we call
society, the young are limited to a
small range of choices. Most join
the rat race with little illusion about
their motives and find their natural
talents blunted and their
ideals
blighted.
Others, the "pseudo-hippies,"
the new Dead-heads, the punkers,
or should I say, the "progressive
uncoventionals," see the sell of
modern American life for what it
is and become the "early retired "
dropping down and out into' a
marginal Bohemia, complicated by
drug pushers and moral perverts,
to practice picturesque disaffilia-
tion with "artistic" trappings.
A third group falls into the seem-
ingly last vestiges of "free enter-
prise" -
the drug pushers, the
juvenile delinquents who are the
first to fall out of the rat race.
These are· the ones who see how
slim their chances are for even a
spot in the rat race. They fQrm their
own communities in the guise of
gangs, with a perverse but
nonetheless potent value system
and code of behavior.
Should they earn our disrespect
when we, ourselves, do not respect
our community?
We force our aged to live lone-
ly, hidden lives in their homes and
Condoms on campus:
Let's face the facts
by Ferris Scott Thomas
I believe the following is of con-
cern to the' general Marist College
community ..
"Overlooking the Hudson River
immediately north of Poughkeep-
sie,_ New York, Marist College
is a
'pri~ate,
non-sectarian liberal arts
institution for ... ,;·
•
That's a direct, verbatim quote
from the 87~89 Marist catalogue~
-page
seven, to be exact.
This is in response to the April
6
Viewpoint by Brother Joseph
L;R. Belanger, who "strongly pro-
tests" the inclusion of condoms to
the aggregate of items already sold
here on campus.
Before Brother·. Belanger's af-
.
front
against the condoms,
however, he states that the number
of AIDS

deaths in the
United
-
States
has • reached
astronomical proportions --- that it
-has
surpassed_ the number of
soldiers killed in Vietnam-, and that
it's not only the beginning, but in-
deed a "Black Death' of our time.
In light ofsuch brutally honest
facts (and yes, boys and girls, facts
rarely lie), Brother-Belanger not
only speaks against the on-campus
·sale of the only proven method of
hindering the spread of this newly-
found '-'Black Death," but goes so
far as to say that we have no
'' ... need to distribute them on cam-
pus ... " and that such distribution
" . .is not at all the image Marist
must have of itself nor the image
it must want to project of itself."
I suppose this must not be the
image Marist College wants to cast
of itself - one of an aware institu-
tion that sees lhe dangers of
modem society and is doing all it
can to protect the students it serves
and educates.
And as to one of the other
·obser-
vations - no, Marist is certainly no
New Paltz, (we are
a
private institu-
tion) and
·no,
we're also not a
Vassar; but along the same lines we
are also not a Notre Dame, or a
Yesheva. We are, indeed, Marist
College, and to act in our students'
best interests is to uphold the very
trust that parents put in us.
I'm not trying to "scuttle"
Marist College in any way. What
I am saying isJhat we are a modem
college in ~modem world, and un-
til we ~.

;:•·
:/
~~-
••
...
Belanger calls it, is not being
_
publicly or officially invited and
encouraged by the inclusion of con-
doms in the wares offered by
Marist. Promiscuity, regardless of
the locale, is ever-present. It is a
part of our lives, like it or not.
If
the products offend some of
us, then the offended must, as they
always have in~the past, overlook
the offending thing. With televi-
·sion;
when we come across some of
the (shall we say) more liberal pro-
grams, we must switch channels.
When a song we dislike comes on
the radio, we must turn the dial.
When we see a product we don't
believe in, we must look past it.
Perhaps promiscuity has been
taken from counter-culture to a
more acceptable place today, but
• we have learned to ignore the
evidence to a considerable extent.
The inclusion of condoms is,
rather than enticing promiscuity,
promoting safety, and to some
respect showing that the ad-
ministration is showing some
regard for the students' welfare.
By offering· these items, we
aren't
allowing any "lower
elements," as Brother Belanger so
calls them, to take over and run
.
Marist morally ...:_
as
if it were some
barbarous hoard ursurping some
sovereign's crown. What it is do-
ing is taking some of his own of-
fered advice - to "do all that has
to be done without complain-
ing ... ," to " ... never stop improv-
ing your knowledge and deepening
your perception so that you can
always
recognize what
is best"
(Phillippians 2 and I, respectively).
Making the items available on cam~
pus to students,
who can't
necessarily get off campus to pur~
chase them, is the biggest issue sup-
porters have.
To answer Brother Belanger's
rhetorically-asked question as to
who exactly is running Marist
morally, I can offer no solid
answer. but I can say that I hope
the powers that be remain open-
minded enough to see what is need-
ed in these times -
to be liberal
enough to accept the facts and take
all necessary precautions.
In no way
am
I trying to ruffle
any feathers, or anger anyone or
any group. J am merely stating a
valuable point. True, society today
is the seat of promiscuity; we are
surrounded by it. It is the job,

profit.
Profit, with its power to reduce
citizens
to
the
status
of
"technological idiots," "cheerful
robots" structurally incapable of
escaping the system of thought that
holds them captive. Profit, which
makes us destroy, in the name of
supply of demand, twice the food
needed to feed this planet and, in
the name of thoughtlessness, waste
that much food twice
_over
again.
The 1990s will be the "last best
hope on earth." Much will be
demanded from the new genera-
tion. Youth have to take fright
rather
than pride from the
challenges that lie ahead.
Poverty is no longer a relative
concept. Suffering has moved
closer, away from the far-off pro-
ject ghettoes and cheap hotels, in-
to the prosperous business centers,
residential neighborhoods and
suburbs. The cardboard shack
communities are replacing the rat-
infested bomb shelters.
Apathy and mental breakdown,
the diseases of the previous genera-
tion, are breeding a new disease -
a new kind of helplessness radical-
ly different from the difficulties
faced by the earlier generations of
the disadvantaged.
The crack epidemic is only the
first symptom and is sure to put the
threat of nuclear annihilation to
rest for all of us unless "healthy"
profit replaces "mercenary" profit.
The Age of Aquarius failed to let

We cannot go back to the ideals
of the past and daydream the

adapt for the future with our own
form of socialized capitalism. We
need to do away with "cutthroat"
capitalism, especially in vital areas
of our community

Mexican youths bring Latin flavor to Marist
by
Vanessa Codomiu
A group of Mexican teenagers
visited · tne Marist- campus last
weekend, and left with a long list
of "pen pals."
'
. The nineteen teens are members
of the musical group Amigo, and
Poughkeepsie was one of the stops
'on their first North American tour.
The group, formed two· years
ago in Mexico City by producer
Jody Kauchick, consists of nine
musicians and ten singers.
Most of the members have been
training in music, dance, voice and
acting all their lives.
"Like most of us, I have always
dreamed of performing. We want
to do our best to represent
Mex-
ico," said Cynthia Torres, a
member of the group.
The· group's
director, Jack
Jackson, said the concept of the
group is "to recruit young·people
from Mexico City and use their
musical talents to build bridges
with other cultures."
"I find it very exciting to travel
and be able to share my love of
music and dance with people of dif-
ferent cultures," said Jose Luis
Palafox.
The group's musical repertoir-e
consists of the ·old and new, in both
American and Mexican music.
Amigo showed its variety of
styles by beginning its 8:00 p.m.
performance with the song "Fiesta
en America.,, Next, the group did
their rendition of the Miami Sound
Machine's song "Conga."
Bright colors, ruffled skirts and
Mexican hats whirled through the
air as Amigo performed "La Barn-
ba" and other songs of Mexican
heritage.
After that session of the show,
the members of the group donned
gold top hats took their places in
a tribute to Broadway that includ-
ed "One" from "A Chorus Line."
Next, Amigo gave a lively rendi-
tion of "I Want To Live In
America"
from "West Side
Story."
In the second half of the show,
the 75 members of the audience
were introduced to Mexican Pop
music.
Some members of the audience
had a more personal introduction
than others.
As Torres sang a Spanish love
song, she pulled Jim Joseph, vice-
i,resident of the Hispanic Club, in-
to her arms for a slow dance. Oscar
Tapia, president of the Hispanic
Club, was next.
Soon after, five couples took the
stage to shake, rattle and roll in a
revival of rock n' roll from the
1950s.
From rock to pop, the per-
formers stepped into high kicks and
spandex
for
"Flashdance,"
"Fame" and "Footloose," title
songs from the respective movies.
As the two hour show drew to an
end, members of the audience mov-
ed toward the stage to meet the
performers.
"Both Spanish-speaking and
English speaking students made me
feel welcome.I had a good feeling
talking and sharing experiences
with them,"
said Guadalupe
Ramirez, who plays piano with the
group.
For most of the performers, this
tour was their first time visiting the
United States.
"I've realized going to school in
the United States is a totallv dif-
ferent experience. The colleges in
Mexico are like American com-
munity colleges, but colleges like
Marist, where one can live, are dif-
ferent," said Alfredo Puentes.
"They
have a different
at•
mosphere, with the dorms and the
cafeteria."
When Jackson calls out; the
members of Amigo say goodbye to
their new American friends and
promise to write.
They say that they have plenty of
pens and paper back home.

expected -:--a
$1,000
travel gift cer-
tificate and the life of a six-year-
old girl'.
•
Ingrassia,• a sophomore from
Wayne, N.J., was one of two lucky
blood donors of the bi-annual
blood drive last Wednesday and
Thursday, sponsored by Sigma Phi
Epsilon, in cooperation for the first
time with the Public Relations
Office.
.
Ingrassia and· Matt Notine, a
freshman from Brooklyn,
N.Y.,
were the winners of free trips of
their choice, donated by IBM.
Ingrassia's prize could also be a
reward fol' blood donated when she
was a senior in high school. Dur-
·
ing that blood drive, she learned
she had the rare blood type AB
positive. She was rushed to Mt.
Sinai hospitalin New York City to
supply a young girl's transfusion
before open heart
surgery.
The following year, Ingrassia
received a Christmas card from the
young girl's motlier, thanking her·
for giving her. child the gift of life.
"It was really· beautiful," she
said. "I couldn't stop crying."
..
Since
'then,
Ingrassia has been
donating blood whenever gi_ven
the
chance, wondering if· someday
she'll be the one that needs it, she
said.
Not everyone who wanted to
donate last week was able to do so.
The chicken pox epidemic caus-
ed a refusal of donors who never
had the illness. This made the tur-
nout lower than usual, according to
David Harrigan, a member of
•
Sigma Phi Epsilon.
•
A total. of 113 pints were
donated, and 40 people were refus-
ed because they never had the
chicken.pox or because they had
low iron.

Fan· violence is not new to the
sports world nor is it limited to the
overzealous English soccer fans.
Wherever there are sports and fans
there is, it seems, trouble with fans.
It is easy for Americans to point
fingers and shake their heads at the
inability of English officials to con-
trol fans. But the problem exists in
this country and must be corrected
before it gets out of hand.

Auditorium to set aside a certain
percentage of seats where no
alcohol will be served or consum-
ed. This law came in response to
cries from parents that they could
not take their families to events at
these facilities because drunk fans
made the experience more trouble
than it was worth.
This is not a new problem in this
country. In 1984, the fans of the
Detroit Tigers celebrated the team's
victory in the World Series by over-
turning cars and starting them on
fire and violent acts.
It is time that we the fans take

action. It starts with the individual.
When you are at the stadium
take a look around at the young
faces that surround you. Try and
remember what it was like when
your parents or older brothers or
sisters used to bring you to games
when you were young. Try to
remember the feeling you had the
first time you went to a baseball
stadium and· walked through the
tunnel to the seats and saw the
bright green and orange of the
infield.
Now imagine no one would take
you to the games because of
abusive fans. It is not fair to
children to deny them this part of
their youth by being abusive. It is
the college-age fan that seems to
cause the greatest number of
problems.
Going to a game and having a
couple of beers (if you can afford
them) is great and no one should
be denied that. But, when fans
become abusive something must be
done. In many cases the amount of
profanity that comes out of a fan's
mouth is directly related to the
amount of beer that goes in.
When you take your seat at a
sporting event take a look around.
Do you see the 6-year-old sitting
there? You know, the one wearing
his baseball glove in the upper
deck. Imagine that kid is your
brother or sister or cousin. Now
when you start to scream that
obscenity at the umpire, think if
you would want your little brother,
sister or cousin to hear it.
It
is un-
fair to deny these children, the
future fans, the right to come to the
ballpark because their parents
don't want to expose them to
abusive fans.
It is going to take a long time to
eradicate fan violence from our
stadiums. But, it all starts with the
individual.

Baruch."
"The tournament went very well and it ran
smoother than anticipated," Hanna said.
"We're definitely going to have another
tournament next year. Every team has said
they would love to come back."
Malet said the field conditions, the
weather and the officiating at Fairfield con-
tributed to the loss.

things on our mind than lacrosse," he said.

"This was a very close race in

Davis. "The conditions were tough

The next victory for the Red
Foxes came in the men's varsity
lightweight four when Marist bare-

Lowell finishing third.

a field open, we had two teams and
a referee and we felt we should
have been able tao play," said
Batta.

The men~s tennis team earned a
founh-place finish at the Northeast
Conference tournament this past
weekend.
Jim Cagney, the No. I player for
the Red Foxes, advanced to these-
cond round before being ousted by
the tournament's top seed.
The Red Foxes' No. 2 player,
Rich Restina also advanced to the
second round before being knock-
ed out.
Jim Hayes, the No. 3 man for
the Red Foxes, lost his first-round
match but bounced back to win in
the consolation round.
The No. 4 man, Chris Trieste,
won his first round match by
•
default, but could not get past his
second-round opponent.
The netmen were in action
yesterday against Vassar; results
were not available at press time.
They travel to take on St. Rose this
afternoon. The Red Foxes return to
Marist for home matches tomor-
row and Saturday against Mercy
College and Fairleigh Dickinson
University, respectively.
The team was 2-3 going into the
Vassar match.
