Gays, Lesbians to
gather quietly in
_support group
by Kelly Woods·
-
Citing student need and interest, several Marist administrators and staff
members· have formed a gay-lesbian support group on campus.
"Students came to campus ministry, mentors and the counseling center
asking for a group to begin," said Barbara Fries, a counselor at the Marist
Counseling Center and one of the coordinators of the group. "There
was a need for the group at this time and for the people to feel protected."
Student inquires last spring prompted Fries to join with Sister Eileen_
Halloran, director of Campus Ministry and Gary Comstock, adjunct in-
structor of philosophy, to create the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Support
Group.
Deborah DiCaprio, assistant dean of student affairs and a counselor
for
,the
group, stressed that
the
group
does
not conflict with
Marist's
Judeo-Christian tradition, since its formation in no way implies that the
college advocates homosexuality.
-
.
''The purpose of the support group is to provide opportunity to get
support in a person's life if they need it," said DiCaprio, "We have many
other support groups on campus dealing with alcohol and drugs, but it
doesn't mean the college condones them (alcohol and drugs)."
Presently, no meetings have been set be.cause the contacts of the sup-
port group are waiting for the response of the students. •
Contacts for the support group are mentors and residence directors
who have volunteered to be committee members and have attended a
workshop on homophobia.
Since meetings will not be made public, the contact members have the
the responsibility of meeting any student who calls and then informing
him or her of future meetings.
"It's not that we want it to be a secretive thing, but students want
safe space and that is what we're respecting," said Comstock,-a Protes-
tant minister.
The
topics for each meeting, at which a committee member will always
be in attendance, will be determined :t,y the students.
Comstock, who is gay, said he will be attending each meeting.
"I have the experience of being gay and can understand the problems,"
he said.
•
Group sponsors formiµly announced formation of the group last week
in a Circle advertisement.
Halloran said the group fits in with the purpose of the Campus
Ministry, since it supports the needs and growth of campus individuals.
"We are not working out of mqral or judgmental view, but suppor-
ting the development of
a
person to the fullest," said Halloran
"We
are dealing with the individual's needs and not the church's beliefs.
"Campus ministry does not cater to just a select few who say they
are Roman Catholic, but to the needs of all the students. It is a non-
denomination, which ministers to
~
people."
Comstock said that the support group should not be taken politically.
"We are not promoting a point of view, but want discussion," Fries
said.
MARIST
COLLEGE COULD TEACH YOU
A THING OR TWO ABOUT HOME OWNERSHIP.
This. picture is part of a ,f~U-page ad that bas-be~n running in several national publications.
Marist meets Madison Avenue:
college. featured in national ads
by Steven Mu.rray
A Marist alumnus arranged an'
advertising opportunity for his
alma mater that "any college in the
country would give its eyeteeth
for," according to Paul Browne,
the vice president for college
advancement.
Peter C. Hanley, a 1964 graduate
and a member of the college's
board of trustees, orchestrated an
advertising campaign featuring
President Dennis Murray and
Marist students that has run full-
page ads in The Wall Street Jour-
nal, The Washington
Post,
Newsweek and Barron's, Browne
said.
The advertisment was taken by
Freddie Mac, a federal Home Mor-
tgage Assistance Corporation
created by Congress in which
Marist invests. The ad pictures

newspaper again today. The adver-
tisement is also scheduled to run in
The Post and Barron's twice each,
in a regional edition of Newsweek
and in some smaller publications.
Browne credited Hanley for get-
ting Marist in the ad. Hanley is a
senior vice president of the J.
Walter Thompson Advertising
Agency, the group that is handling
the campaign for Freddie Mac.
When Freddie Mac executives
said they wanted to use an investor
in their ad, Hanley called Marist to
see if the college is an investor in
the company, Browne said. Hanley
then recommended the school to
Freddie Mac.
Browne said the ad campaign,
In the first paragraph of the ad,
Marist is referred to as being
"among the nation's top liberal
arts schools."
"In a sense, it's better than
anything we could have done,"
Browne said. "Any college would
have wanted this kind of positive
advertisement in one of the na-
tion's most prestigous publications
(The Wall Street Journal)."
It
would have cost Marist
$40,000 to run the ad for one day
in The Journal, which, with a cir-
culation of 2,026,000, is the highest
circulated daily newspaper in the
country.
Views from cafe: there's no place like home
by Christine Marotta
Don Cunney's mom is going to
be really mad.
The sophomore psychology ma-
jor from Bronx,
N.Y.,
complain-
ed that because of his class schedule
he keeps missing breakfast -
the
most important meal of the day.
"My eating habits on campus are
limited, therefore I am compelled
to gorge myself with fast foods late
at
night," Cunney said.
Cunney is just one of the many
Marist students who are forced to
change their eating habits at the
beginning of each semester.
According to Jane O'Brien,
director of health
services,
there are
many reasons for these changes.
Stress, making adjustments and the
overall sense of freedom felt by
resident students can all add up to
newly established eating habits.
"There are a lot of decisions to
make," O'Brien said.
0
When to
eat and what to eat are always a
concern."
Students often skip meals,
replacing them with a candy bar
and order pizza later in the even-
ing, according to O'Brien.
Daniel C.
Lewis,
director of din-
ing and food
services,
said about
75 percent
to
85
percent of the
students on the meal plan have
been consistent about their atten•
dance at
meals.
Those students on the meal plan
are utilizing the deli bar, salad bar
and ice cream bar as well as eating
lots of pasta, hamburgers and
chicken patties, said Lewis.
"Depending on what students
choose to eat, a well balanced meal
is certainly provided at all meals,"
said Lewis.
Many students who are on the
meal plan provided by the Seilers
claim to eat less than they do when
they are living at home.
"I
definitely eat less now," said
Ann Ayotte, a freshman Cham-
pagnat resident from Sharon,
Mass. "At home
I
usually have
a
set
schedule for meals, but at col-
lege
I
eat whenever.
I
really do
miss
Mom's cooking," Ayotte said.
Audra Smith, a freshman social
work major from Stafford Springs,
Conn., said the food served in her
high school cafeteria was better
than the food here.
"I mostly eat salad because I
don't like the food," Smith said.
"And every chance I get I go out
to eat."
The North End students and
those residing at Canterbury
Garden Apartments,
an off.
campus apartment complex located
five miles from the college, are not
exempt
from this change in eating
habits.
"I am
eating less than I did "'·hen
I was
on the meal plan," said
Townhouse resident Jim Joseph, a
junior from Bronx, N. Y.
"I
would gorge myself at meal
times because it was all you can
eat," Joseph said.
He said he is more conscious
now of what he eats because he is
doing his own shopping and cook-
ing his own meals.
Peanut butter and jelly, along
with Fruit Loops were the usual
dinner menu for Canterbury resi-
dent Joanne Brynes, when she was
on the meal plan.
"Since I moved out to Canter-
bury, I started eating prepared
frozen dinners and
I
am more
satisfied," said Brynes, a senior
from New Rochelle, N. Y.

100 frosh will go
by Jennifer Becker
!he fr~shma~ ~lass will have about 100 less members at the end of
this. ~ear if Mar~st s. curr~nt ~ropout rate of 15 percent holds steady, ac- • •
cording to Manlyn Pons, d1rector of institutional research.
Ab_ol!t
hal_f
of the dropouts are academicly dismissed from Marist. The
remammg cite the following reasons for their departure·
-
Problems with the professors
•
-
Roommate conflicts •
-
Financial difficulties
-
Being cut from a team
But Poris said the re~l !easo_n
students leave is a mystery because what
t~ey report to the admm1~trat1on
may or 11_1ay
not be true. The inability
to make the necessary adJustments and friendships causes freshmen to
withdraw, she said.
"Freshmen are faced with a dramatic change in their Jives when com-
pared to the structured high school and home environment: The students
have a lot more responsibility and are more independent. There is a lot
more ~hey have to be capable of handling," Poris said.
Pons ~rges the ~reshmen with difficulties to talk with professors, men-
t?rs, advisors, residence directors and residence assistants or the profes-
s10nals at the Marist Counseling Center in the Byrne Residence for help.
~or the so~ho11_1or~s
who leave, it's more a matter of choice. Although
their academic d1sm1ssal
rate is lower, many choose to transfer Poris
said. This, she said, keeps the retention rate equal for freshm;n and
sophomores.
Since they've made the adjustments, few juniors and seniors leave
Poris said.
'
She urged the upperclassmen to-share their experiences. "Be aware
and reach out a helping hand," she said. "By reaching out and helping
others, we may all learn something in return."
Summer campus life:
dif Jicult but bearable
by Ann Timmons
While most members of the
Marist community packed up for
summer jobs and tans in
May,
others opted to spend their sum-
mers at Marist -
earning credits
and cash.
_
• According to --Robin - Will;-
secretary in the Office
of
Housing
and Residential Life, anyone
choosing to reside on campus had
to be taking summer credits, work-
ing on campus or partaking in an
area summer internship or co-op.
About 30 students resided on
campus during each of the three
summer sessions, said Will. The
students'had to fill out a registra-
tion form and pay $70 per week,
plus a $50 security deposit.
"This year we chose to condense
the residents into the Gartland
Commons apartments • so they
would all be located in the same
general area:" Will said.
Denise Perreault, a senior from
Burnt Hills, N.Y., spent the past
two summers here selling IBM
computers to Marist students and
faculty.
Perreault said she did not think
it was worth the money she paid
last year to live in Gregory House
because of the lack of maintenance
attention.
"We had rats, we had to empty
our own garbage and steal toilet
paper," she said. "They should
have paid us!"
This summer had a quieter tone
-
almost. too quiet.
"It's very peaceful during the
summer, but the social life is
definitely lacking," Perreault said.
Senior Sue Lozinski agrees that
this summer was a little too serene.
"Sometimes it got very lonely,"
Lozinski said.
Responding to an ad in The Cir-
cle last May, Lozinski landed a
summer job in the housing office.
"I
knew
I
did not want to spend
another summer as a cashier at the
comer drugstore," said the Bristol,
Conn. resident.
•
Since she was on campus, Lozin-
ski decided to take a class in
medieval literature.
As a nightly ritual, she would sit
on the stone wall located adjacent
to Gartland Commons to watch the
sunset.
"During the summer I began to
really appreciate the beauty of this
area more," Lozinski added.
To keep herself busy, she went
to a lot of.movies, read, saw a few
concerts and took advantage of the
area cultural activities, such as
Shakespeare
in the Park in
Croton-on-Hudson.
Her
housemate,
Suzanne
Brogan, was',a few credits shy of-·
graduating in May, so she took
three summer classes to catch up.
Brogan spent her summer nights
with her introduction to logic and
introduction to law textbooks
haunting her.
"Just the fact that it was sum-
mer, gave me an excuse not to
study," said Brogan, a business
major from Yonkers, N.Y.
Brogan said it was hard being
away from family and friends from
home.
•
"It.
wasn't really the way • I
wanted to spend my my last sum-
mer (in college)," she said.
Elizabeth (Libby) Lucido, a
junior from Amsterdam, N.Y.,
agreed that it was tough to be away
from the securities of family and
friends, which accounts for her $50
a month phone
bill.
Each time she
felt lonely, she reached out and
touched someone.
During the summer she worked
in the Registrar's Office and took
a history class at Dutchess Com-
munity College.
"The class was much harder
because we had to condense 14
• weeks of work into seven weeks of
classes," Lucido said, "But the stu-
dying atmosphere was much better,
with less distractions."
Lucido said she got into a
routine. She worked 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., returned home and watched
the nightly news.
"I
got a taste of what life would
be like after school," she said.
Next summer the communica-
tion arts major intends to stay on
campus to take an area summer
internship.
All in all, she said she enjoyed
the summer months at Marist.
"It's not Amsterdam, but it's my
home away from home."
With no radios or televisions
blasting, or students rushing
around, one summer student
pointed out the major differences.
"There were no lines for com-
puters, no lines for books, and no
lines for add/drop - and we had
the
best parking," said Lozinski.

Lack of awareness, participation
hurts MCTV as season opens
by Debra McGrath
As the networks begin their new
fall season lineups, the Marist Col-
lege Television Club is plagued by
. their own lineup troubles.
"The equipment is there, the
studio is there, all we need are the
people," said Theodore Moy,
president of the Marist College
Television Club.
Moy, a junior communications
major from Manhattan attributes
the Jack of participation to poor
advertising. "I think it's pretty bad
that these facilities are offered and
not taken advantage of."
Some students admitted never
!}e~ng of the club.
"I didn't know it existed," said
Bill Cairney, 21, a senior from
Bayshore, Long Island. Van An-
drey, 18
a
freshman from Closter,
N.J.
said, "No one told me about
it when I came here."
Last year the club produced
music, sports and news shows, all
of which were shown on channel 8.
The purpose of the club is to give
students hands on experience with
television equipment and produc-
tion, said Janet Lawler, AV /TV
operations manager of the Byrne
Media Center.
Channel 8 can only be received
by campus and North Road
residents, so it is used to air pro-
grams specifically for the Marist
community, according to Carl
Gerberich, vice president of infor-
mation services.
College Activities is in charge of

~tation. Director of College Ac-
t1V1t1es
Betty Yeaglin said she can
air recently released video rentals

Yeaglin isn't the only one who
can choose what gets on MCTV.
Any Marist student can.
If
a student has an idea for a
show and the workers to back it up
that show will get on channel 8 ac:
cording to Lawler.
'
John Jones the club's treasurer
said, "Any student can use the
equipment, they just have to check
with us first."
Last August, Lawler, an 1985
Marist graduate, took the idea of
studerit experience one step further.
She and two students came up with
Wh~ts Up?, a talk show hosted by
Manst professor, Dr. Mary Louise
Bopp.
"It's a real show shown on chan-
nel 8 and Poughkeepsie cable chan-
nel 32," Lawler said.
Because it is a "real show"
students get real experience from it,
according to Lawler.
Bopp· said she sees What's Up?
as inspirational and motivational
for for the students involved.
Students get to meet celebrities and
people
with
interesting
backgrounds, Bopp said.
Bopp said, "We have many peo-
ple to draw on because of our loca-
tion."
Actress Mary Tyler Moore was
recently on the program with her
husband
01e.
Robe,:t.
Levine.
Moore, a Millbrook resident, spoke
about local enviromental concerns
as well as her career.
•
Experience is not required to join
the club. Jones, who joined the the
club as a freshman last year, said
he has gained extensive knowledge
of the studio and equipment.
If
you are interested in the club
or learning how to use studio
equipment contact Janet Lawler in
the media center.
New international students
add education to college
In a effort to diversify the Marist
College community and enhance
the traditional college experience,
the school has added 21 students to.
its international student body, Dr.
Donald Hester, international stu-
dent advisor and director of admis-
sions, said.
The
new
students,
both
graduates and undergraduates,
come from countries such as
Turkey, South Africa, Columbia,
India and the Republic of China.
In the past, the Marist student
body has been more homogenous
than most liberal arts colleges,
Hester said.
"It's our hope that we will at-
tract enough diversity to enrich the
traditional college experience for
our students," he said,
Life at college may not be the
only experience that may be ef-
fected by the students' awareness
to international cultures, according
to Vernon Vavrina,
faculty
representative for the international
committee and a professor of
political science.
The growing trend toward inter-
nationally orientated jobs in bank-
ing, insurance, transportation, and
telecommunications has made a
knowledge of world relations even
more critical, Vavrina said.
"The
days of isolationalism are
over. It is important to get across
to Marist students the relevance of
global awareness," he said. •
International
students have
already become involved in various
and events. Last year, members of
the International Students Union
sponsored a number of events
centering on international issues
and traditions.
Activities included heritage
week, the sponsoring of lectures on
world affairs, and the participation
of international students as guest
speakers in classrooms on and off
the campus.
"Marist students tend to live in
a bubble," said Martin Comacho,
I.S.U. vice president. "We want
the students to know there is
a
world that exists outside the col-
lege."
According to Inderdip Khorana,
president of I.S. U., The goal of the
club is to "spread the idea of the
world. We want to bring the world
closer together by getting the
students more familiar with our
culture and background."
I.S.U. events this year include
U.S. government week, and United
Nations day in October. The club
will also be conducting a survey
analysis of freshmen to determine
their knowledge of the world.
"The survey is not meant to in-
sult students, but to show the ad-
ministration that there is a dire
need for a world affairs course at
Marist.'' said Comacho.
Seniors will also be tested in
order to discover if they have gain-
ed knowledge of international
issues during their four years at
Marist. "I guarantee that a lot of
people will be shocked," said Com-
acho, "but we won't."
Khonara said international
students are eager to learn about
American culture. "We want to
teach students but we want to know
everything about America also "
he said.
'
According to Comacho, "Every-
day is an experience for us.
Everything is different. We live in
two different worlds. We're not
saying what is good or bad, we just
take it as it comes."
Although it may be difficult for
international students to adjust to
a new country and culture, many
are more aware of American
culture than the county's native
students.
Yolanda Annstrong, who work-
ed for Marist Admissions this sum-
mer and participated in the inter-
national student orientation pro-
gram, said most international
students
know more about
American culture, music, art and
politics American students.
"Marist can learn a great deal
about the world from these
students. But it's not going to hap-
pen by just ha,.ing international
students on ca-.1pus," she said.

After Jast Friday night, Marist College students who frequently drink
alcohol off campus may already be assigning designated driver duties
for this weekend.
An increase in deaths and serious accidents in the northern section of
Poughkeepsie over the last six months have prompted local police to set
up four "sobriety checkpoints," last Saturday morning, according to
Lt. Michael Woods of the Town of Poughkeepsie police.
Police arrested six between about 11 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Saturday.
Woods said he could reveal the names of those arrested. City of
Poughkeepsie police - a separate department with another jurisdiction
- also arrested six after setting up roadblocks on the southern part of
Route 9.
s
"There have been too many serious accidents and fatalities due to
alcohol
involvement,"
Woods, who coordinates the checkpoints and
drunk driving patrols, said. During the last six months, there were 23
alcohol-related accidents, according to Woods.
A major portion of the cars that passed through the roadblocks were
filled with young people who had been drinking - probably many Marist
tudents, Woods said.
But, most had designated drivers, Woods said. "A lot of young peo-
ple came through the checkpoints
with \i.tt\e or nC> alcohol cC>nten\. on
their breath," Woods said.
•

••
•
Police are now concentrating on the North Road area after arrests
reports over the last few months have shown an increase in alcohol-related
accidents, Woods said.
Police set up roadblocks on Route 9 at Water Street, on Route 44 in
the Arlington area and on Washington and Delafield Streets, Woods said.

In addition to sobriety checkpoints, police dispatched a special patrol
car at least four times a week in search of drunk drivers and increased
patrol in areas with high alcohol accidenr rates, Woods said.
Police cannot stop cars randomly at a roadblock, Woods said. Every
car is checked or cars may be stopped intermittently, Woods said.
Alcohol sends soph
to emergency room
by
Chris Landry
A recent experience of one Marist student shows how drinking can
get out of control, causing potentially dangerous results.
Michael Houston, a sophomore Champagnat Hall resident, was ad-
mitted to St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie early Sunday morning
for severe alcohol intoxication, according to the Office of Safety and
Security.
•
Security and Residence Director Susan Kabat assisted Houston to the
hospital and he was released at at about 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Houston said
this week.
Houston said·he received a shot to lessen the alcohol's effects but did
not have to have his stomach pllmped.
•
According to Houston, after friends helped him to Champagnat Hall,
Security and Kabat contacted his parents. Kabat would l}Ot comment
on the incident.
Houston was sent to St. Francis between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., accor-
ding to Security.
Houston said he regained consciousness in the ambulance but had to
be strapped down after refusin¥ t~ go to t~e hospital.
.
Houston said he had been dnnkmg heavily off campus with several
friends before he returned to campus and passed out in front of Leo Hall.
Don't
Drink
And
Drive!
If there is suspicion that a driver has been drinking, police can use
a portable alcohol censor to measure the driver's blood alcohol level or
use tests such as walking a straight line to determine
if
the driver is legal-
ly drunk, Woods said.
Most state laws consider a person with a .10 blood alcohol level as
legally drunk.
Police will continue to set up extra checkpoints until the area's drunk
driving problem has decreased, Woods said.
"We (police) don't set up checkpoints because we like to arrest peo-
ple for drunk driving," Woods said. "It is a better alternative than pull-
ing out mangled bodies of drunk drivers."

Hammers and
headaches
The letters which spell Marist are still missing.
The hunt continues for the letters that stuck to the stone wall
in the front yard of the campus. The bare spot before "college"
is embarassing and ridiculous. In a broader sense, it seems as
though part of the school's identity is unclear.
Campus facilities have changed so drastically, so quickly, is this
the same Marist College?
A frequent criticism of the college is the usually slow pace at.
which these projects progress. Now there is a new concern: are
we trying to do too much at once?
Few corners of the campus have missed the swath of jackham-
mers and bulldozers.
The Donnelly Hall renovation is the most obvious example. In
·
addition, the basement of the Lowell Thomas Communications
Center is open; the front of Marist East will soon be closed.
They're still fixing Champagnat Hall; other dorms have new
bathrooms and the roads between them are torn up.
And there's more. The most important part of this construc-
tion frenzy is the new classroom building, the future Dyson Center
or something. When that starts next month, supposedly, the
blasting will intensify and the dust will thicken. That's already
happening in Donnelly.
There's no guarantee the environment will calm soon. Summer
was hot and loud around here, and in consideration of those who
had to work through it all,
it
was distracting at best. Even though
the Donnelly project is winding down this fall, more disruption
will take its place.
No ivy walls will muffle this strain. Did this all have to happen
at once?
Distinguish the essential projects from the unnecessary ones and
consider whether we should tackle each plan separately, in order
of priority.
The administration may not have realized when it tore up Don-
nelly that the Marist East fire code problems would restrict the
use of that building. But if the new classroom building will really
be up
in
seven or eight months, and since the Donnelly project
has dragged, why not build the classroom building first to make
provisions for the Donnelly inconvenience and shut the door on
Marist East at the same time?
•
But it's not so simple. President Dennis Murray is taking a
cautious wait-and-se·e attitude on the new building, even though
everyone else says it will go up on schedule.
Another thing to consider is the <;ldministration's strong con-
cern for the college's image. Administrators hail Marist as a liberal
arts college that is preparing for the next decade with advanced
technology and new facilities. That attracts more students and
more donors.
Are we paying fqr our future by compromising the present?

As "Peace with Justice Week"

especially fit to make the following
proposal to the entire Marist com-

and staff form a Jocal chapter of

organization,
Amnesty
International.
In 1977 Amnesty was awarded

Bush misses the point
on a burning issue
Give George Bush a lot of credit.
He knows how to stay popular.
Who else has the political savvy
to find an issue that almost eighty
percent of Americans agree on and
get right out in front of it?
Unfortunately, Bush, along with
most Americans, does not see the
real issue in the flag-burning
controversy.
Last week, the U.S. House of
Representatives voted 380 to 38 in
favor ·of bill that if enacted into
law, would outlaw the desecration
of the U.S. flag. This was in
response to a June Supreme Court
ruling that declared unconstitional
a Texas law forbidding flag
burning.
The Court's 5-4 decision so
enraged the president that he took
the lead in calling for a constitu-
tional amendment banning the
desecration of Old Glory. The bill
recently passed by the House is not
enough for Bush and other sup-
porters of an amendement, who
feel that only changing the Con-
stitution
will
put the flag out of the
Supreme Court's reach.
What Bush is leading here is a
crusade for frivolity and simple-
mindedness,
not unlike his
November campaign. Granted, the
president is a decorated veteran and
it would be difficult to expect any
man who has put his life on the line
for his country to allow :he
desecration of a symbol as power-
ful as the flag.
But we pay Bush to think with
his head, not his medals. His job
is to "uphold and defend the Con-
stitution of the United States" not
lead a charge against a part of it
that he doesn't like.
Where is the George Bush that
so staunchly defended freedom of
expression when the Ayatollah
Khomeini pronounced his death
sentence on Salman Rushdie for
slandering the prophet Mohamm-
ed? Does Bush's belief in freedom
of speech stand
.
only when the
Paul O'Sullivan
Thinking
between
the
lines
speech in question does not offend
him?
Bush and the rest of those play-
ing politics with the flag issue are
missing the entire point of the First
Amendment. The mark of a truly
free society is not that it can
tolerate views that it disagrees with
a little bit. It is that it allows the
extremeists a voice and lets the free
maketplace of ideas determine
whether or not the view is a valid
one.
Justice William J. Brennan put
it best in his ril.;i.jority
opinion:
"If
there is a bedrock principle
underlying the First Amendment,
it is that the government may not
prohibit the expression of an idea
simply because society finds the
idea
itself
offensive
or
disagreeable."
If the Court were to base its deci-
sions their popularity, would there
have been a Brown v. Board of
Education to desegregate the
schools? Isn't the purpose of hav-
ing an appointed Supreme Court
instead of an elected one to insulate
them from shifting opinions and
political maneuvering?
The supporters of the amend-
ment would have the nation believe
that if you are against their cause,
you are unpatriotic. Nothing could
be further from the truth. The flag-
burning issue is one of rights, not
love of country. "America: love it
or leave it" expresses bigotry, not
patriotism.
The decision has not sparked
millions of flag-burning protests
across the country. If it has done
anything, it probably has reduced
them. The ruling brought about
such an outcry that any radical who.
was even thinking of burning a flag
•
would see that doing so would not
promote his or her cause,
it
would
only make it more unpopular.
Those who support the amend-
ment seem to want patriotism to be
easy; pass a law and that takes care
of that. But shouldn't
loving
one's
country require something more?
;
Veterans have given their
time,
limbs and lives to show that they
love. their country, but what of the
rest of us?
How many of us celebrate
Veteran's Day? How many of us
even.know when Veteran's Day is?
The kind of outpouring
of
patriotism that resulted from the
Supreme Court decision should be
the rule, not the exception. Love of
country should not be expressed
only when
it
is threatened.
In the flag burning decision, the
Supreme Court gave Americans a
much-needed kick in the patriotick
butt, as well as reminding us that
the Constitution represents all
viewpoints, not just the ones we
like. Let's forget the amendment
and remember the lesson.
Corrections
Two articles in last week's Cir~le
incorrectly reported the location of
Waryas Park in Poughkeepsie,
where four rowers from the United
States Disabled Rowing Team stop-
ped on their way to New York
from Albany. The Hudson River
waterfront park is 1500 meters
south
of
the
college.
Another article last week incorrect-
ly reported the model of the IBM
mainframe to which the college
converted over the summer. The
computer is the IBM 3090 Model
200E.

Bensonhurst incites debate·
.
by Helen Arroys
Your remarks (found in Paul
O'Sullivan's column last week) are
founded
on half-truths
and
downright naivety. As a resident of
New York City, I knew it was only
a matter of time before a pebble
was tossed into the water, creating
a disturbance, meaning the Ben-
sonhurst killing. No doubt, it was
a brutal,
senseless
murder,
motivated by the depth, blinding
hatred that has been passed from
each generation to young, white
Americans. In New York City,
minorities are whites live on the
edge, awaiting the slightest inci-
dent, for their true hatred to erupt.
And it has.
•
Why would you suppose that the
alleged killers of Yusef Hawkins
even knew about the March on
Washington? Do you really thing
their parents or even their school
system took more· than thirty
seconds to mention a historical
event encouraging civil rights for
black people? I think not.
You speak ofthe-'60'sand what
Americans have gained; the in-
tegration of school and the destruc-
tion of many of the racial barriers
in the South. This is what Malcolm
X had to say about integration and
the South: "The White Southerner,
you can say one thing - he is
honest. He bares his teeth to the
black man; he tells the black man,
to his face, that Southern whites
never will accept phony integra-
tion." It is a fact that today, in our
modem and "open-minded" times,
Southerners still practice segrega-
tion, maybe not as blatantly, but
it is there. Do you honestly believe
that integration was a blessing in
the eyes of white folk, that they
welcomed minorities with open
arms?
Tell me, Mr. O'Sullivan, if you
broke up with your girlfriend and
she began dating a black man,
wouldn't you feel like that was a
slap in your face? If you are true
to yourself, you would feel that
way and it is just an example of
how modern, white Americans like
yourself, who claim "equality" for
all and swear up and down, "I have
Black friends!", really feel.
What annoyed me the most was
your statement about Malcolm X,
and how whites shudder at him.
The media of the Sixties turned
Malcolm X into a harsh, demonic,
fanatic whose only aim was to
obliterate white people. This is a
•
totally false idea. Malcolm X was
a deeply religious, reighteous man .
who learned from his mistakes, and
attempted to make his own people
aware of themselves. He told the
truth
•
to the white man in those
days and they could not accept it.
So, he is immediately categorized
and filed away in the fanatic file.
When will America realize what it
has done to blacks and all
minorities for hundreds o( years?
I'm afraid time is not the answer
to eliminating prejudices, action is,
and if it takes another strong leader
like Malcolm X, then let it be done.
Helen Arroys is a junior.
Fight the urge to
watch new TV trash
You know, if it weren't for
sports, "Married with Children,"
and "Cheers" reruns, I probably
wouldn't watch TV at all.
The reason for this can easily be
traced to two new TV shows that
I had the fortune or misfortune of
watching this past weekend. The
shows were "Rollergames" and
"American Gladiators."
That
should tell you all you . need to
know.
"Rollergames" is simply a hyped
up, glamourized,
1990s
version of
roller derby. There are a few new
rules but overall it is nothing more
than legalized violence.
Now I know that this is exact_ly
what WWF wrestling is but there
is one major difference with
"Rollergames/' The difference is
that it isn't even as ridiculously
humorous as the WWF. There is
absolutely nothing interesting
about it. Even people who like wat-
ching people beat the hell out of
one another will find this show
stupid. Believe it or not the fights
and violence in "Rollergames" are
staged
worse than
that
of
"GLOW" ("Gorgeous Ladies of
Wrestling")
and that is an
accomplishment.
Ed McGarry
It's
a
little
known
fact
that ...
The thing about
"American
Gladiators"
is
that
I
cannot
figure
out what the point is.
•
In the show, everyday athletic
type people try to gain points by
competing in various events against
bodybuilder-type men and women.
The events include the "Joust"
which is basically two people hit-
ting each other with padded oars
on a two-foot-wide plank 15-feet
off of the ground. The winner is
the first person to knock the other
.
person off of the plank. Inevitably
the winner is the bodybuilder-type
people that are regulars on the
show. Don't worry, the ground is
padded also.
What makes this show even
worse is that it is hosted by Joe
Theismann. How can a guy go
from NFL quarterback to an ABC
Monday Night Football announcer
to the host of this? The money had
better be really, really, good Joe.

Now, more of this weeks ran-
dom, worthless opinions.
I know it is not my area, but if
you ever get a chance to see
Physical Graffiti perform at The
Chance, or anywhere for that mat-
ter, don't pass it up.
"The Wonder Years" is one of
the few areas of this 1960s revival
that is worthwhile in 1989.
Add every Mel Brooks movie to
your "required viewing" list.
The only thing worse than wat-
ching a Red Sox game is watching
a Yankee game. Although I must
admit that watching a Met game
hasn't exactly been a barrel of fun
lately either.
But I would still rather watch the
Red Sox play the Yankees with the
Mets umpiring
than
watch
"Rollergames."
A man that was lost at sea
72
years ago was found floating on a
raft alive the other day. No, real-
ly, its true. I read it in the "Week-
ly World News."
I prefer the index finger and
thumb method, Wes.

-The release of all prisoners of
conscience: those people detained
for their beliefs,
race, sex,
language, religion or ethnic origin,
who have neither used nor ad-
vocated violence.
-Fair and prompt trials for all
political prisoners.
-An
end to torture

We, along with President Mur-
ray believe the establishment of an
Amnesty International Group on
the Marist campus will be yet
another way in which the college
can fulfillpart of its mission state-
ment. The college is dedicated to
preparing students for life in the
global community in the 21st cen-
tury by "exposing them to the
values of particular cultures and to
the values that both transcend and
link particular cultures."
Two and one-half years ago one
of our colleagues, Dr. Andrew
Kayiira of the criminal justice
faculty was brutally murdered
while attempting to improve the
human rights situation in his native
Uganda. Those who knew Andrew
would probably agree that continu-
ing the worldwide struggle for
human rights through the vehicle of
a campus Al group might be an ex-
tremely appropriate memorial for
him.
If you are interested in seeing
Amnesty International come to
Marist and would like to par-
ticipate, please drop us a note in
care of the Division of Humanities.
Your timely response would be
deeply appreciated.

Editor:
As a member of the Commence-
ment Committee, I really ap-
preciated the kind words express-
ed in your 9/14/89 editorial. As
you stated, the graduates also
deserve much of the credit for
deporting themselves in a manner
befitting educated, responsible
adults. They set a standard that will
be difficult to surpass. I wonder if
the Class of 1990 is up to the task?

·womenfinally
make
their mark on rock
Kieran Fagan
In
your
ear
The voice of rock music is
changing dudes, so listen up.
Women are being heard from more
than ever.
•
Now I'm not
counting
the Tif-
fanies or the Jody Whatleys of the
world. Those are the girls who quit
their sales positions at Bennetton
and became millionaires thanks to
slick packaging and a little wiggle.
No, I'm talking about Melissa
Etheridge, Tracy Chapman, Toni
Childs, the Indigo Girls, and other
women who are contributing more
to the music scene than mediocre
bubble gum pop.
It isn't difficult to trace the.
history of women in rock, since
there were never many around
names that quickly come to mind:
Martha and the Vandellas, the
Shirelles, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell,
Mary Travers (of Peter, Paul and
...
), Janis Joplin,
Joan Ar-
matrading, Patti Smith, Debbie
Harry, Pat Bena tar, Patty Smyth
(Scandal). I'm sure that I've miss-
ed a few, but there never were a
whole lot of ladies in the business.
That's definitely changing.
I
think Suzanne Vega did a lot to
pave the way earlier in the
'80s.
Her
unexpected popularity made record
executives open their eyes and say,
"Gee whiz, Girls can make records
too!" Then Tracy Chapman came
in
and proved that not only could
women make records, but they·can
sell millions of them, and they
don't have to be teenage sex kittens
and flash their tattooed butts on
MTV to get noticed.
In fact, many of the women
making good music aren't the most
attractive creatures on the planet,
but who cares? They're for real.
They put their energy into the
music, not into Aqua Net and flesh
strangling jeans. Sure, Samantha
Fox looks great, but is looking
great
a
talent? Let's say it out loud,
kids -
sex sells.
But now there's a shred of justice
in the world because good music is
selling, too. Just last summer it was
hard to escape the sound of
"Closer to Fine" by the Indigo
Girls or Melissa Etheridge's
"Similar Features." Even anal-
retentive stations like New York's
WNEW were playing them (seven-
ty times a day, that's their style).
Maria McKee (of the sadly miss-
ed Lone Justice) and Syd Straw
both put out solo albums over the
summer. I picked up the Syd Straw
disc and, though it has its flaws, it
deserves a listen. Straw's got the
ultimate folk voice but keeps a hard
edge that saves her from getting too
sweet (which she has a tendency to
do). The Best song
is
"Future For-
ties" with R.E.M. front man
Michael Stipe. The album doesn't
reach the level of her stints with the
Golden Palominos, but it's a pro-
mising debut.
I
haven't heard
Maria McKee's record yet, it's sup-
posed to be great (if you believe
record reviews).
Edie Brickell was the only
woman I saw in concert last sum-
.
mer, with New Bohemians. The
•
band surprised me with their
sound. They were more impressive
live than on their album.
I wish I could say the same for
Edie. Performers don't have to
juggle flaming bowling balls or
shoot from a cannon, but a little
stage presence is always a plus.
Edie had all the presence of a can
of tuna. She sang. She swayed her
arms (twice,
I
think)
..
She said
"thanks" after every song. Other
than that, she displayed few vital
signs. A mannequin
with a
voicebox could have done her
show. She's got to get a lot more
into it if New Bohemians are go-
ing to make it as a live band. The
music was fantastic, though.
It's a good time for women in
the rock industry.
{A\\
you gir\s
with guitars take notice.) Thank
God it's not Joan Jett and Madon-
na getting all the attention
anymore. Gimmicks are out and
(although I hate the term) artistic
integrity is in.
If
you're female and
you want to make a record these
days, you don't have to pile up
your cleavage and wear leather
lingerie.
Of course, if that's your scene,
don't let me discourage you.
You've come a long way, baby.
END NOTES: Tracy Chapman
has a new album due out very, very
soon. It's crucially important that
you buy it.

Philosophy
of hot dogs-
and parking
spots
Wes Zahnke
A
day
in
the
life
I think it might have been Plato
that uttered the immortal words,
"Life is a
series
of events in which
you either box out or you are box-
ed out."
Well, I thought it was Plato. I
think that old Plato might have had
the Marist parking scene in mind
when he made that statement.
Let's build a hypothetical case
scenario here. It's 2:25 p.m. and
you're on campus with plenty of
time to spare before your 2:35.
Your class is in the exquisitely
renovated Lowell Thomas base-
ment, and as you're wheeling into
campus, you can't help but get ex-
cited over the Seiller•s· mobile hot
dog cart on the sidewalk.
You smile to yourself and you're
thinking, "Hmm, maybe a quickie
with mustard and kraut and a
coke."
You maneuver into the LT lot
only to find your worst nightmare:
20 other cars circling the lot like
sharks in a feeding frenzy.
There are no spaces.
You now become engulfed with
decisions to be made.

pagnat? Do you go to McCann, or,

I think there is a definite pro-
blem here. When a college student
has to forfeit his/her hot dog in
pursll~~
of a parking space, the pro-
blem then becomes a travesty of
justice.
Just think of those plump little
weiners burnt to a black perfection
in the classic Seillers style, prac-
tically jumping out of their holding
bin, with little tears in their eyes,
perhaps even split down the sides:
the scars of war.
The ramifications go even deeper
than the surface hot dog sales.
If we can't find parking spaces
and therefore
can't
support
Seillers, just think of the jobs that
are in jeopardy. Think of the
heroes and role models that helped
formulate the people many of us
are today!
•
Personally, when I think of
Seillers, I'm not thinking food ser-
vice industry. I think educational
institution. The last thing I think
of is food.
This lack of parking, it's plain to
see,
could ultimately undermine the
very core of one of the most
dynamic corporations the world
has ever seen.
Just think of the manager in
charge of marketing at Seillers who
thought of the brainstorm to have
the hot dog cart out there.
It was a brilliant marketing
scheme, which will all go for
naught if this dilemma isn't solved.
We could label this the "Hot
Dog Hoax", or "Parking for
Dogs."
Let's not be too quick to point
the accusing finger in the direction
of Marist.
Perhaps it's Pete Rose allegedly
vending dogs. He's probably got
his bookie service nestled right bet-
ween the relish and the chili bin.
The man hasn't got a job and
I've seen him on the consumer
value network vending his baseball
memorabilia. Hot dogs are
right
up
his alley.
Being around all those ballparks
for all those years, he should know
what
constitutes a good dog.
Whoever it
is I don't care. I just
want a parking space.
And,
I want
,my
dogs!

Marist students it was an altogether
different experience. •
Chris Russell, a junior 'from New
Milford, N.J., and seniors Tony
Panteleo from Fishkill, N.Y., and
Bill Beseth from Wappingers Falls,
N. Y.
spent three weeks this sum-
mer at the United States Army Air-
borne com:se in Fort Benning, Ga.
•
The course, which ran from June
22nd to July 14th;-was divided in-
to three phases: ground week,
tower week, and jump week.
During ground week, the morn-
ings were reserved for runs, which
the the cadets were rated for, and
various other workouts.
Also during the day they had
time in the classroom, and practic-
ed exiting arid landing postions on
a simulated aircraft on the ground.
The next phase, tower week, had
the cadets practicing mass exit drills
(at one second intervals) from a
simulated-Cl30 jet set 34 feet off
the ground.
•
Also included in that week was
swing landing training or the "slam
dunk,"
which had the cadets
swinging from a 15-foot platform
by a rope attached to their harness.
The "confidence
builder,"
another test in landing techniques,
was a 250 foot drop from a tower
with parachutes attached to a line.
Last came jump week in which
the cadets were required to suc-
cessfully complete five jumps, one
a day.
After safety briefings, pre-jump
reviews, and practice drills,. the
groups were allowed to gear up and
wait to be checked by the Sergeant
Airborne. This is called Jump
Master Inspection.
Before jumps the cadets are
divided into "chalks," groups with
30 cadets. After this they are plac-
•

at approximately 140 mph, and at
an altitude of about 1,200 to 1,500

New career director wants
to bring back Marist alums·
by Stacey_ Mc Donnell
Under its new director, the office
•
of Career Development and Field
Experience will initiate a new pro-
gram this fall, offering seniors and
juniors a chance to meet one-to-one
.
with Marist" alumni.
Deidre Sepp, the director since
Aug. 1, has held similar positions
at Susquehanna University, in Sus-
quehanna, Pa., SUNY New Paltz
and Mount Saint Mary's College in
Newburgh.
Sepp is a 1975 graduate of Get-
tysburg College in Gettysburg, Pa.,
and has a masters in counseling
from Kutztown University in Kutz-
town, Pa. She also holds a teaching
certificate.
She is the 1989 chair of the
Liberal Arts Network of the Mid-
lantic Placement Committee, an
association that studies the needs of
liberal arts students.
In addition to hiring a new direc-
tor, a new program will begin this
fall to try to bridge the gap between
college life and the real world.
According to Sepp, about IS
alumni, representing various fields,
have agreed to talk with students
for 30 minutes to an hour about the
opportunities and realities of their
fields of interest.
The program, "Alumni Net-
working," was conceived last year
by Ron Zurawik, the career place-
ment chair of the alumni executive
board and Jim Norman, the direc-
tor of alumni affairs.
To set up an interview, the stu-
dent must contact the office and
decide which alumnus they would
like to speak with.
The office will then give the stu-
dent the name and phone number
of the alumnus in order to set up
a convenient time to meet, accor-
ding to Sepp.
The alumni represent the law,
business, communications, non-
profit organizational, psychology
and education fields.
In addition to the program, the
office is planning workshops in
resume writing, interviewing and
job hunting strategies. Sepp has
spoken with Kevin Desmond, stu-
dent body president, to develop
and organize new programs that
would benefit the whole student
body, said Sepp.
"We need to take action," said
Sepp. "There are students who
don't know what they want -
we
can help."
The office assists in finding part-
time employment during the school
year, develops co-op positions and
helps in developing internship
opportunities.
attached from the jet to the
parachutes so the cadets didn't
have to pull the chord themselves,
thus decreasing the chance of an
accident.
.
Upon exiting the jet, the force of
.
bodyweight causes the line to break
and the chute to open. However,
in case of a malfunction, all of the
parachutes are equipped with a
reserve chute.
Only one cadet of the 461 found
it necessary to use the reserve, and
this was because of a minor, non-
threatening problem with the first
chute.
After falling at approximately 18
feet per second, the cadets landed
with a force comparable to a jump
off of an eight to ten foot wall.
"At first I thought, 'this is ab-
solutely nuts!,' but once I was out
and my chute had opened, l
couldn't remember a safer feel-
ing," said Russell of his first jump.
"One of the aspects of leader-
ship is courage, and it takes
a
lot
of courage to jump out of an
airplane," said Russell.

Religion quiet for students
by
Maureen Kramer
Although Marist is becoming
more diverse both ethnically and
culturally, its religous convictio.ns
- Catholicism, specifically - have
remained loyal to the college's
founders.
"Of this years Freshmen who
answered the question pertaining to
religion on their application, 65
percent
indicated
a religous
preference for Catholicism," said
Harry Wood, vice president of ad-
missions and enrollment planning.

"It

And they all add up to one thing
-

Under such circumstances
it becomes difficult to remain trim-
figured people. How can a student
stay in shape?
An informal poll conducted on
campus shows that some of us are
more worried about gaining weight
while others don't mind if they gain
a few pounds.
Some students resort
to
only
twelve-ounce curls in their dorm
rooms to keep in excellent condi-
tion, others are busy pumping iron
in
the Mccann Center weight
room.
Students have already begun to
sign up for a full schedule of in-
tramurel sports.
But others' daily activity give
them enough activity.

Elsie Mula, assistant to the
athletic director of the McCann
Center, said the Mccann Center
offers various opportunities to
keep fit. Open seven days a week,
it has a large swimming pool with
diving area, basketball and raquet-
ball courts and a weight room with
a membership fee of 10 dollars.
The McCann Center is also the
host of several Marist physical .
education courses.including row-
ing, sailing and archery.
In addition, the aerobic kick has
hit Marist. Aerobics classes are
held six days a week at the dance
studio in the McCann Center.
Aerobics classes attracted nearly SO
participants per session during the
first week this semester, said junior
Christie Ingrassia, head of aerobics
department.
According to Ingrassia, classes
swelled to about 100 people short-
ly after spring brec1k last semester.
"Some people come to aerobics
every day, and some just come
when they feel fat," she said.
Although the aerobics classes are
attended
predominantly
by
women, Ingrassia says she has
worked with the Marist lacrosse
team.
Usually, about three or four men
will attend.
lntramurals offered this fall in-
clude co-ed soccer and volleyball,

Laxmen gear up.for spring with.fall season
by Jay Reynolds
On the heels of last year's .500
season, the Marist lacrosse team is
gearing up early for the 1990
season.
Fall practice began Wednesday
and head coach Mike Malet said
the team has upgraded this year's
schedule in order to be ready for
the school's move to the East Coast
Conference next year.
With the tougher schedule, the
fall season now becomes even more
important, according to Malet.
"Normally we didn't start (the
spring schedule) until March 24,"
he said. "This spring our first game
is March 10, so we must get the
work done in the fall.
"Usually, we have the week of
spring break for practice, but (by
spring break this year), we will have
already played three games. That's
why we have to go to the fall - to
try and get things done."
The peak of the fall season
comes Oct. 15 when the Red Foxes
will compete in the Keene Fall In-
vitational tournament -

After another three-game set in
Chicago one week later, the Mets
trailed by three-and-one-half
games.
The Mets were four-and-one-
half games behind the Cubs on July
21, the day Armstrong took his
famous first step.
By Aug. 13, the Mets had drop-
ped to nine-and-one-half games
behind the Cubs -
their biggest
deficit of the season -
and, to
most, looked hopelessly out of the
race.

first time.
Two weeks later, on Sept. 24, the
Mets clinched the first National

The Mets passed the next hurdle
with ease, sweeping the Atlanta
Braves, the National League· West
Division champ, in three straight
games to capture the National
League pennant.
In the World Series, after drop-

This year's expected field in-
cludes host school Keene, Mont-
clair State and SUNY-Maritime.
Malet said one of the main ob-
jectives of the fall season is to allow
the newcomers to learn the plays.
"I'm not concerned about set-
ting the team in the fall," he said.
"Unlike football, where you have
an offense and a defense, in
lacrosse, you can work in 20 peo-
ple with no problem."
Although the Red Foxes lost on-
ly three seniors to graduation from
last year's squad, Malet said the
473-5467
number of returning players does
not guarantee the team will post a
better record than last year's
5-5
mark.
"We've upgraded the schedule
quite a bit - adding games to get
us ready for the move to the
ECC," he said. "We could actually
play our best lacrosse ever and not
improve on last year's record."
Marist has 20 lettermen return-
-ing from last year - including 10
starters and the entire defense -
and had over 15 freshmen turn out
for the first day of practice.
"We had a pretty good idea of
the freshmen coming in and we
want them to learn the plays,"
Malet said.
Malet said the move to the ECC
will be a big step for the lacrosse
program as the ECC was ranked
second in the nation for lacrosse
last year - only the Atlantic Coast
Conference ranked higher.
"Teams
like Hofstra
and
Townsley are nationally ranked
and will bee tough games for us,"
he said. "Drexel was the only team
in the ECC not ranked in the (na-
tion's) top
20
last year.
"The ECC will be
a
tough con-
ference for us to compete in -
it
would be comparable to playing
basketball in the ACC or the Big
East."
The Red Foxes added four
games to last year's 10-game
schedule, including the opener
against St. John's and the last game
of the season against the Universi-
ty of Maryland-Baltimore County.

The Red Foxes' defense came

defense again this week - register-

Atlantic Conference Defensive
Player of the Week last week for
his performance in the Sept. 9
game against St. John Fisher

"We adjusted and didn't give
them anything,'' Mealia said of the
Marist defense following the Set-
ters' first touchdown.
Pardy praised the work of his
defensive backs -
Mealia, Greg
Chavers Steve Merenda and John

"The defensive backs allowed
everyone to play solid defense and

said.

McElduff said the win was a
total team effort that allowed the
Red Foxes to pick up the win.

Gridders equal
historical mark
by Mike O'Farrell
The last time a Marist football
team won its first two games was
1985. That squad went on to post
a 6-3 record, the best ever for a
Marist team on the Division III
level.
Under new coach Rick Pardy,
the Red Foxes became only the
third team in school history to win
its first two games as they scored
a wet, come~from-behind 10-9 vic-
tory over Pace University last
Saturday at Leonid~ff Field.
The next challenge for the Red
Foxes comes Saturday when they
hit the road for the first time this
season - taking their 2-0 record to
Loretto, Pa., where they will bat-
tle the St. Francis ColJege Red
Flash who crushed Brooklyn Col-
lege 42-
7
last Saturday. This will be
the first meeting ever between the
two teams.
Last Saturday - in the pouring
rain - the Red Foxes overcame a
9-0 halftime deficit to defeat Pace
10-9.
The Red Foxes were forced to
fight uphill literally from the start.
On the first play from scrim-
mage, Marist quarterback Dan
O'DonneIJ went to the air and
found Dan DelPrete for a 46-yard
gain over the middle. However,
Def Prete could not hold on and
Pace recovered the fumble on its
own 34-yard line.
Phil Capra then wasted no time
in putting the Setters on the board
with a 66-yard touchdown scamper·
up the left side line on the very next
play. The point after was blocked
- turning out to be the difference
in the game.
Over the course of the after-
noon, the rain would not let up and
neither would the turnovers.
O'Donnell was intercepted on
the next posession and a _ few
moments later Dan McElduff lost
the handle after a hard-fought,
15-yard gain.
Marist then moved the ball 40
yards in 10 plays before fumbling
it away again.
Pace capitalized on the turnover
when Scott Pluschau nailed a
32-yard field goal to give his squad
a 9-0 lead.
Neither team could start any of-
fensive drives for the rest of the
half and Marist ended the first half
with five turnovers -
three
fumbles and two interceptions.

Volleyball s·uf f ers loss
at CCSU tournament
by Denise H. Becker
After defeating Siena College
last Wednesday,
the, Marist
women's volleyball team did not
fare as well in the Central Connec-
ticut State University Tournament.
The team - which placed ninth
out of 12 teams -
defeated Cen-
tral Connecticut State University,
15-11, 15-12, 15-7 in its first match
of the tournament.
However, in subsequent mat-
ches, Marist lost to the University
of Hartford, 9-15, 16-17, 6-15, the
College of Holy Cross, 6-15, 5-15,
15-13, 13-15, and Lehigh Univer-
sity, 10-15, 9-15, 15-0, 4-15.
The CCSU tournament left the
team's record at 3-3.
Saturday the team will face New
York University and Manhattan-
ville College in a trimatch at 1 p.m.
in the Mccann Center.
Although coach Victor Van-
carpels said he anticipates difficul-
ty, he believes that it is possible to
beat both teams.
"The team has really solidified,"
said Vancarpels. "Right now we're
two or three weeks ahead of where
I thought we'd be."

play, Vancarpels said that everyone
played well and he was happy with
the weekend's turn of events.
However, he also said the team
needed some improvement.
• "The real problem we have is
that we don't have a good concept
of ·whete we want to. hit the ball
relative to other defenses," Van-
carpels said. "We have to concen-

first two
road games
by Chris Shea
In the midst
of
an important
early-season road trip, the Marist
men's soccer team, thus far, has
been both up and down.
The five-game road trip -
the
team's longest of the year -
in-
cludes four contests
against
coference opponents.
Marist
coach .. Dr. Howard
Goldman said he feels his team is
definitely headed in the right
direction.
"Our attitude is very good right
now," be said. "Remember, we're
playing a very tough schedule
which includes three of the top 20
teams in the country, and most of
the New York top 10."
The Red Foxes rebounded from
a Northeast conference defeat last
week at Fairleigh Dickenson
University with a solid win at
Robert Morris last Saturday.
Shawn Scott led the Marist at-
tack with a goal and an assist
against Robert Morris. Bob Meindl
also contributed a goal in the of-
fensive attack which outshot
Robert Morris 18-8.
Last Tuesday the Red Foxes ran
into the powerful squad from FDU
which handed the Red Foxes their
first loss of the season.
FDU dominated the entire con-
test -
scoring more goals (three)
than
Marist
could
manage
shots(two).
As a solid favorite to win the
conference, FDU was led by Ahm-
ed Faisal who had two goals.
Goldman was particularly im-
pressed with his opponent's play.
"They're a mature, skillfull team
which had total control of the
game," he said.
"It
could have
been worse if not for (goalie) Matt
Scarano."
The Red Foxes still have two
more games on the road before
returning home to face Oneonta
State University on Saturday, Sept.
30. Marist played at conference
rival St. Fransis College (N.Y.)
yesterday and the results were not
availiable at press time.
Marist travels to Emmitsburg,
Md., Saturday to face conference
foe Mount St. Mary's College and
to Garden City, N. Y., next Tues-
day for a game with Adelphi
University.
The Red Foxes have won only
two of the nine previous meetings
with Adelphi, dropping six. Satur-
day will mark the first meeting with
Mount St. Mary's.
Brace yourselves: Something big is coming

season but already it feels as if
something is not right.
