Students march
to protest racism
by Nathan J. Robinson
Amid cries of "Stop the hate, before it's too late," 250 college students,
including a group from Marist, marched through the city of Poughkeepsie
on Sunday to protest racism.
The march followed recent recruitment efforts by the Ku KLux Klan
in Dutchess County.
Members of Marist's Black Student Union, marching with students
from five other colleges, made charges of racism on this campus, but
they refused to comment on specific incidents.
Students from Vassar College, Dutchess Community College, SUNY
New Paltz, Columbia University and Howard University in Washington,
D.C., walked hand-in-hand down the city's streets on a 12-mile "March
Against Hate," beginning and ending at Vassar.
The route took the marchers p st the Dutchess County Jail, where the
grand dragon ·or the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana was held earlier in the week.
Douglas Tuttle, 24, was arrested October 1 in Fishkill, N.Y., on a
weapons charge. Tuttle had been stopped by state police in a routine traf-
fic check, and a loaded handgun and a blackjack
were
alledgedly found
in his car.
•
.
BSU members who attended the march said it was not held to protest
the KKK
in particular, but to protest hatred in general.
"We have racism and we have to fight it until it ends," said BSU Presi-
dent Afena Cobham, a sophomore communication arts major.
Members ·of the Black Students union join students froin five other colleges in a rally against racism
in Poughkeepsie last Sunday night.

Panama policy sends
problems to student
by Paul O'Sullivan
For most Marist students, last
week's coup attempt in Panama
was just another gunfight in a far-
off land.
For Dino Quintero, however, the
fighting really hit home.
Quintero is a native of La Con-
cepcion, Panama, which is about
an eight-hour drive from the coun:-
try's capital, Panama City. When
he first heard about the coup at-
tempt, he was working in the Don-
nelly Hall Computer Center.
"I remember thinking, 'Wow, I
hope everything is all right,' " he
said.
The next day, when he got a
chance to call his parents in La
. Concepcion, he discovered that
everything
was
indeed all right, but
his parents wondered why he was
calling.
"They knew nothing about it
(the coup)," he~~-
"They had to
find out about it from me!"
Quintero, who is living in
Poughkeepsie with his aunt and un-
cle, said the government control of
the media is only one indication of
the total authority of the Panama-
nian dictator, General Manuel An-
tonio Noriega.
Things have been getting hot in
Panama ever since Noriega was in-
dicted on federal drug smuggling
charges in the United States in
February 1988. Events came to a
boil a month later when the U.S.
cut off its supply of money to
Panama, where the American
dollar is the standard form of
currency.
This strategy has not been suc-
cessful in forcing Noriega from
power, but it has succeeded in mak-
ing things difficult for Quintero.
Since there is no supply of
money in Panama, all of the assets

Alcohol--
Co~tinued from page 1
dalism is not as high, he said.
The Office of Safety and Securi-
ty has confiscated 680. cans and
bottles of beer since the beginning
of the semester, according to
Joseph Leary, director of the of-
fice, who said the number reflects
only a small percentage of the
alcohol
actually
present
on
campus.
"There's nothing wrong with
having a drink," Leary said. "To
drink excessively, literally to death,
is crazy!"
While
drinking
problems
sometimes begin on campus, some
students' problems stem from
home.
On the home front
.l\.ccoTdin~ to the NCA., children
of alcoholics have four times the
chance o'f having a drinking pro-
blem than children who do
not
have parents or siblings with drink-
ing problems.
On top of the dsk of becoming
alcoholics themselves, the children
must deal with the emotional
strains of having a parent who is
an alcoholic, said Andrea Raphael,
the commuter mentor.
.
"The three rules of being a child
of an alcoholic are: don't talk,
don't
feel and don't
trust,"
Raphael said. "These children are
conditioned throughout their lives
not to talk about the drinking con-
dition; to turn off their feelings and
not to trust anyone because of the
inconsistencies in their parents'
behavior."
Raphael organized the Adult
Children of Alcoholics group on
campus last semester.
Although attendance fluctuates,
about five students attend the
weekly meetings, she said. Two or
three of the students identified
themselves as being potential
alcoholics, said Raphael.
"The recovery for both the
alcoholic and his or her family can
take a lifetime," she said. "It's an
on-going process where the suc-
cesses are small."
'Yes, I'm an alcoholic'
The road to recovery must start
with admitting there is a problem.
"Most people are reluctant to
take the first step," said Brydon
Fitzgerald, upperclass mentor.
"When there is a disfunction in
your life due to alcohol, then it is
time to take a look at the pro-
blem."
Fitzgerald said, however, that
after the first step, there is no set
prescription for recovery.
For
the anonymous student and
father, recovery meant attending
meetings as a family and having
every family member admit there
was a problem.
"My father's drinking actually
brought
our
family
closer
together," said the student. "He is
now recovering. I'm proud of
him."

The right choice.






























Speech questions
reform for Jews
by Jennifer Becker
Soviet Jews may or may not be
enjoying actual reform, said
Stephen M. Berk, who has a Ph.D.
in history, while lecturing on "Gor-
bachev and the Jews" last Tuesday
in the Theater.
The lecture, the latest in the
William and Sady Effron series on
Jewish studies, focused on the
reforms Gorbachev is trying to in-
itiate and the effect they will have
on the Soviet Jews.
"These are the good days for
Soviet Jews, but we must temper
our enthusiasm and optimism and
set it in context of general politics,"
said Berk.
What exactly are the changes
abound in the Soviet Union?
Gorba, hev is encouraging
democrac:; and liberalism like no .
one else Las, said Berk.
"This present emigration is a gift
from heaven," said Berk citing the
annual flow of Soviet emigration
reaching 50,0000.
Then Berk gave a brief history of
the Jews in the Soviet Union.
The Jews were not allowed to
show any manifestations of Jewish
rituals and if they continued to
practice their religion, they were
imprisoned or given poor rations.
In the 1920's, the Soviets were
trying to route out Jewish national
consciousness and sensitivity, ac-
cording to Berk. "The Soviets were
subtle and used the Jews themselves
to route out religion and Zionism
from the masses," Berk said.
The young covered their sur-
names, for if they abandoned their
Jewish faith, this was the age of op-
portunity, Berk said.
With the German Invasion into
Russia, the "Golden Age of Jewish
"You cannot blame the Holocaust ex-
clusively on the Germans because there was
a lot of collaboration with them.''
"Gorbachev is prepared to trust
the Soviet population to act in-
dividuaJly and politically," said
Berk. "He is reducing that element,
of pervasive fear and decentraliz-
ing the Soviet economy."
The Jews are now allowed to
band together
in a
.
cultural
organization and establish ties with
Jews in other nations, Berk said.
"It's mind boggling. There are
,
no longer and punitive actions
(punishment) for demonstrations,"
Berk said.
But the optimism must also
make room for reality.
"These actions are not from the
goodness of his heart," said Berk.
"He has very serious classic pro-
blems (with the economy arid
government). He has no choice.but
to institute reform and revolu-
tion . .,
According to Berk, Gorbachev
knows he must gain the support of
·
the people.
Gorbachev needs a favorable im-
age in order to receive credit, grains
and technology. He is also granting
political and economic autonomy
for other Soviet-controlled coun-
tries, said Berk.
To try to gain this (avorable im-
age, Gorbachev has spoken public-
ly to fill in . the· blank pages of
Soviet history, Berk said.
Soviet Jews left in large numbers
in the 70's, but in the early 80's
they were no longer allowed to
leave.
History" came to a halt.
"The German armies killed over
two million people. Half of the
Soviet Jewish population was kill-
ed and 90 percent of the Jews liv-
ing in German occupied areas were
killed," Berk said.
•
"This was the first of many
traumatic experiences that chang-
ed the lives of the Jews," he said.
According to Berk, the. Jews
considered the Soviet Union their
homeland up until World War II.
They believed in Marxism and
socialism and thought that all na- •
tionalities were equal.
"You
cannot
blame
the
Holocaust exclusively on the Ger-
mans because there was a lot of col-
laboration with them;• Berk said.
The Jews were no longer silent
and they organized protests,
demonstrations; and submitted
petitions, Berk said.
Berk asked the audience to grap-
ple with the current situation or·
Jews.
The Jews don't belong because
they are caught between na-
tionalities and are considered out-
siders, Berk said.
"To whom do you belong?" he
asked.
"We must persuade them to
allow the Jews to leave;For decent
people to tum their backs on Soviet
Jews would
·constitute
a terrible
shame, crime and disgrace,''.Berk
said.

Stolen letters
brought back
for
•
a price
by Chris Landry
Only a week after the college of-
fered a $500 reward for it, the miss-
ing Marist College sign was return-
ed to the Office of Safety and
Security last Thursday.
Joseph Leary, director of safety
and security, could not disclose the
identity of who returned the letters.
Leary said Security and Town of
Poughkeepsie police still have no
solid leads to who stole the six let-
ters, which spell "Marist," but will
continue an investigation.
The reward has not been given
yet, but the money -
which will
come from Security's budget - is
guaranteed, Leary said.
The letters, which face North
Road just outside of Donnelly
Hall, had been missing since the
first week of September and, after
two weeks with just the word "col-
lege," on the wall, the Office of the
Physical plant removed the rest of
it.
The theft took place within a
five-hour period on Sept.
5.
The
letters were reported missing at
about 6 a.m. and, after conducting
a neighborhood check, police were
told by local residents that the sign
was there at 1 a.m.

Alums
give Marist
ccc,,
for completion
by Maureen Kramer
The sunny skies on Alumni Weekend brought with it warm memories
as former Marist students crowded on the football field for the picnic
held in their honor.
"I miss the friendships I had at
0
Marist, but after seeing everyone again
it's like I never left," said Dennis D' Amico, a 1969 graduate.
For D' Amico and other 1969 graduates Marist has excelled greatly in
the past years.
But, 20 years has made a difference in the opinions of Marist alumni.
Last year's graduates say the college still has a long way to go and needs
to get its priorities straight.
As the 1969 graduates recalled their college days, they were impressed
by the architectural changes that have taken place on campus.
But, for the earlier graduates who saw the front of Champagnat Hall
as a parking lot, the campus has undergone many transformations.
"When I first came here in I 965, they were just opening Champagnat.
Since then they have added so much. Marist is a growing school. There
are so many schools just hanging on and Marist isn't doing that," said
a 1969 graduate, Jim Conroy.
Although Marist has invested a lot of time and money to improve the
layout and appearance of the campus, some recent graduates disagree
with the administrations priorities for improvement.
Michael Lotaro, who graduated last year, said, "I thought Donnelly
would be done by now. It doesn't do well for the appearance of the
school."

building and dormitories first."

Turnout strong

FRESHMAN CLASS ELECTIONS
Class
of 93 - President Votes Class
of 93 - ·Vice
President Votes
by Paul O'Sullivan
The Class of 1993 elections did
more than provide this year's
freshman class with officers. It saw
the largest turnout for a class elec-
tion in recent memory.
More than 450 of 823 eligible
freshmen voted in an election that
saw Vincent Monteleone of Lin-
coln Park, N.J., beat his nearest
opponent by a 2 to 1 margin to
become president of the Class of
1993.
Kruger and Peter Jones, also a
co-commissioner, gave high marks
to members of Tau Kappa Epsilon
fraternity. Last May, College Ac-
tivities and TKE agreed that the
fraternity would work on the elec-
tions as part of an agreement that
kept TKE on campus.
"They (TKE) did a fantastic
job," said Kruger, a sophomore
political science major. "They ac-
tively got people to vote, instead of
just waiting for people to come to
them."

Monteleone said he took the
large voter turnout as a sign that _
his class is more politically aware
than previous classes. As a result,
he said, he is looking forward to
working
closely
with
his
constituents.

Matt Kruger, co-commissioner

this year's freshman class for be-
ing interested in the selection of
their officers and getting out to
vote.
Monteleone added that he plans
to hold monthly class meetings to
get suggestions from freshmen and
to keep them informed about what
the officers are doing.

College Activities
says students party
too much, care little
by
Anndalena Glaze
Call it a case of apathy. And like
the flu, it has broken out amoung
students, to hear student activities
officials tell it.
"It
seems to me that if fun and
games are not involved students
just don't care, they want im-
meadiate reward,"
said Betty
Yeaglin, director of college ac-
tivities.
"We have had events where
few students attended."
Rob McComiskey, social chair-
man of the College Union Board,
feels students do not attend cam-
pus events because their only in-
terest is drinking.
'' A lot of people think that they
can only have a good time if
alcohol is involved/' McComiskey
said. "Not everyone is into getting
blasted every day of the week so we
try to give students alternatives. We
bring in comedians, musicians, we
offer cultural ev~mts and lectures,
we have performing arts, films, we
offer a lot."
Yeaglin said she feels that

ing in the world around them," she
said.
At a lecture about apartheid
given \ast week b-y the Rev. Uav\d
Toomey, who lived with Ar-
chbishop Desmond Tutu in South
Africa, the student turnout was
about 40 in the theater which seats
350.
In contrast, a lecture on adver-
tising that encourages alcoholic
consumption, an issue that hits
close to home, was attended by
about 150 Marist students.
Y eaglin feels that part of the pro-
blem lies within lack of support
from faculty. "Some professors re-
quire that their students attend lec-
tures and events pertaining to their
class, but many do not."
With support from faculty and
more program
assessments,
Yeaglin feels attendance would
improve.

Fashion program gets glamorous new home
by Maureen Kerr
With a little help from designers
Oscar De La Rente; Bill Blass and
Liz Claiborne, the Marist fashion
program is creating a style and flair
of its own.
Add to that increased enrollment
and recognition, as well as a sleek
new classroom extension, and the
fashion program is one which, its
boosters say, has a promising
future.
"In the next three to five years,
Marist
can
become the most impor-
tant fashion school in America,"
said Carmine Porcelli, director of
the fashion program.
Freshmen registration within the
department has tripled in the last
three years, said Porcelli, who
designed
the wing with architect
Al
Capilli.
"In the next three to five years
Marist
can
become the most impor-
tant fashion school in America,"
Porcelli said.
Mark Sullivan, executive vice
president, said Porcelli's en-
thusiasm and the increased visibili-
ty of the program, both in and
beyond the college community,
have lead to the expansion of the
department as part of the $400,000
renovation in Donnelly Hall.
Porcelli, who has spent 20 years
in the fashion industry, said addi-
tional contributions for the renova-
tions were made by a number of
top designers, including Bill Blass
($1,000),
Oscar De La Rente
($1,000), and Liz Claiborne
($2,500). "The industry
sees
talent
in our students," he said.
Another strong supporter is the
Poughkeepsie Galleria, which -
donated $5,000 to last year's Silver
Needle Award Dinner.
• "The design is aesthetically ap-
pealing and functional,"
said
Sullivan. "It will bring more
distinction within the department
and add to what he's (Porcelli)
done outside."
The new department consists of
a reception area enclosed by
glass
doors outlined in stainless steel.
The interior, painted in gray and
white, is highlighted by recessed
lighting, creating an atmosphere
that Porcelli refers to as "quiet chic
-
natural, not showy."
"The enviomment is inspiring
and it makes you feel like you're
doing something important," said
Stacey Tapinis, a senior from Long
Island.
"It's
a
very professional at-
mosphere," said Sonya Bertoloz-
zi,
a junior from Poughkeepsie.
"We're very grateful that we've
gotten this much."
The new wing includes a con-
ference room where designers can
meet with students, an art illustra-
tion room, junior and senior design
rooms, faculty offices, a graphics
illustration room, lecture room and
eventually, a fashion student
lounge and library.
According to Porcelli, the
renovations are designed to give
fashion students a "home within
their home."
"We put in
a
Jot of hours," he
said. "Last year we were in the hall
cutting fabrics and sewing till 3 or
4
am
for the Silver Needle show.
We live in these rooms. We became
a family."
Porcelli said in the next 10 years
graduates of the Marist fashion
program will affect and change the
way we think, dress and live.
"Our students are getting per-
sonal one-on-one direction from
the top designers in the country,"
said Porcelli. "There's tremendous
potential here."
Hudson Valley Magazine will
dedicate its November issue to the
Marist fashion program, including
a section featuring designs the
students have put together.
"When I came here as an ad-
junct faculty member in 1986, I
never envisioned we'd go this far
in three years," said Porcelli.
"We're recognized now. Two years
ago people would have said
'Marist? Where's that?' "

editorial
BSU and
a cry of racism
The presence of the Ku Klux Klan in Dutchess County last week
forces consideration of racism. The presence of racism usually
is not so covert -
it generally hovers subtly over society -
but
occurrences such as the KKK recruitment drive in the area un-
cover hatred's undertones.
Members of the Marist Black Student Union joined students
from five other colleges on Sunday in marching through
Poughkeepsie to protest racism and other forms of hatred.
During the rally, BSU also protested racism at Marist, charg-
ing there is a problem here. But BSU will not substantiate its claim.
Until BSU supports its argument, its credibility suffers.
BSU members have said they cannot trust others on campus,
and that may be why they feel they must go elsewhere to vent
their anger.
But that does little to help any problem with racism on cam-
pus. And there is a problem, although naming it is difficult.
Whatever is causing BSU members to feel alienated represents a
problem, regardless of whether it can be called racism.
BSU members are convinced racism exists at Marist but hesitate
to say the problem is worse here than elsewhere -
a reasonable
assessment. It is here where BSU should tell its story.
Racism, or simply ignorance, may be subtle on campus, but
BSU's accusation was not so subtle. BSU must realize it now has
the responsibility to back up such a claim.
If BSU thinks Marist is racist, if BSU distrusts Marist, then
let it explain why.
If the situation is not so hostile, BSU would
best serve its purpose by educating the rest of the college.

Editor:
I am writing in response to your
editorial of 10/0S/89 entitled
"Portrait of Courage". I realize
that The Circle published it with
the best of intentions; however,
there are a few things that need
some clarification.
The idea that I can "barely
walk" is totally absurd. I would
rather walk bare than be told that
I can barely walk. In fact, the only
thing I can barely do is stomach
this editorial. As for the "luxury of
driving," I don't need it. Anyone
who has two good legs and finds
it necessary to drive everywhere
everyday is just plain lazy.
On
being
described
as
"courageous": I am no more or
less courageous than anyone else.
What exactly constitutes being
courageous anyway? Perhaps a
better word would be "persistent."
If the attribute of courage should
be given to anyone it should be my
friends, who deserve more credit
than they get. They are the ones
that give me courage!

Giving the Garden State
a name it do·esn
't
deserve
It happened again this weekend.
Whenever I meet someone and
tell them I'm from New Jersey, I
hear the inevitable toxic waste
jokes followed by a fit of uncon-
trollable laughter.
•
Normally, I dismiss the ignorant
slobs because they just don't know
what they're talking about. New
Jersey, in case you hadn't heard,
is more than radon dumps and
mafia hideouts.
Unfortunately,
this year's
gubenatorial
•
campaign in the
•
Garden State is doing more to pro-
mote New Jersey's sleazy image
than all the toxic waste in Union
County.
It all started back in June after
James Courter and James Florio
won the nominations of the
Republican and Democratic par-
ties, respectively. Each came out
with Joe Isuzu promises that this
year's campaign would be run
strictly on issues, that personal at-
tacks would have no place in this
campaign.
As you might imagine, that on-
ly lasted as long as it was conve-
nient for the two candidates. When
he started to fall behind, Courter
started digging for dirt against
florio. Where he couldn't find any,
he made some up.
Courter began coming out with
television ads saying that Florio
had accepted campaign contribu-
tions from a labor union that had
been indicted in 1986 for bribery,
racketeering and extortion.
What the ad failed to say was
that the contributions came
before
the the union was investigated and
after the federal government took
control. Another little tidbit that
Courter's advisors left out was that
Thomas
Kean, New Jersey's in-
Paul O'Sullivan
Thinking
between
the
lines
cumbent governor and the point
man for Courter's campaign, ac-
cepted contributions from that very
same union in his 1985 re-election
campaign.
Florio has responded with a
commercial of his own, depicting
Courter as Pinnochio with his nose
getting longer as a voice chants a
littany of times Courter has flip-
flopped on an issue.
What I want to know is, what
does any of this have
t9
do with the
fact
that New Jersey's automobile
insurance rates are the highest in
the nation?
Is this a governor's campaign or
a Don Rickles sound-alike contest?
The Garden State needs this
political mudslinging like it needs
another sanitation strike. From
Rosanne Rosannadanna saying
that New Jersey makes her sick to
the "what e,dt" cracks, New Jersey
has been a national joke for years.
The last thing the state needs is its
candidates for governor broad-
casting their stupidity across the
country via cable t~levision.
And where is our esteemed
leader, Governor Kean, during all
of this? He's campaigning for
Courter,
making
harmless
statements like
"trying
to find out
where Jim F1orio stands is like
try-
ing to find out where Jimmy
Hof-
fa is buried."
Now you don't think the gover-
nor meant to tie Florio's name to
organized crime, now do you? This
guilt by association campaigning -'-
which seemed to start with the
Willie Horton issueduring last
sum-
mer's presidential campaign -
probably won't end until someone
says, "Trying to keep Jim Courter
from raising taxes is like trying to
keep Ghengis Khan from conquer-
ing western Asia;''
What the governor and the can-
didates are forgetting is that winn-
ing the election is not an end in
itself
..
The real challenge is getting
the job done after you've been
elected.
A certain amount of mudsling-
ing is bound to take place in any
campaign, but when. it gets so
prevalent that the other side starts
returr.Jng the attacks, it becomes
imp<
..
sstble to deal with the opposi-
ti~n
10
the legislature.
Not only that, but it makes the
state itself look bad, and New
Jersey needs as little of that as
possible. All the "New Jersey and
You ... Perfect Together" coffee
mugs in the world won't tum
around the state's image with can-
didates who are more interested in
speaking catchy sound b}1es than
solving New Jersey's landfill of
problems.
Let's talk seriously about lower-
ing insurance rates, cleaning up the
beaches, fixing up the cities and
cutting down on pollution.
Maybe then people will stop ask-
ing us what exit we live at.

Look to the present
before moving ahead
by Bill Bastian and Ed Fludd
Let's take a look at our investment today, everyone's investment.
Most of the students here at Marist have invested an amount of money
that rolls well into five digits. For most of the faculty and staff, it's time
and dedication that is invested. Let's ask ourselves: what have we in-
vested in? What is our investment turning into? Do we like what we see?
We have been here for some time and it's time
·10
speak up. Marist
College is in the midst of building a· very fine showcase for itself, but
what do we have to display in it? Marist has been doing wonders with
the campus. Future students will be proud.
Marist (and we direct this to the entire college community, not just
the administration) can't neglect what is already here when reaching for
the future. After all, a building won't stand without a good foundation.
You've got to bake the cake before you put the icing on it.
Now we understand that this is just a transition period and it is easy
to to ignore the present problems in the student body. After all, we will
all graduate and move on soon enough, but the problems won't.
For some reason, Marist, you think you will be able to start anew once
all this construction is done. You need substance. You need to invest
in the students of today.
Marist, where do your priorities stem from? We presently have a library
that cannot accommodate the number of students here. When do you
plan to renovate this building? How can you sit so smugly while taking
in a record number of freshmen each year?
The housing situation is absolutely ridiculous. Students find themselves
between a rock and a hard place when the housing office finds fault with
students and evicts them.
Don't you get it Marist? Each time you evict a student, you send him
or her into the community around Marist. Hence, the community does
not get angry with the students, they get angry with Marist College. You
need to educate before you evict. Throwing your problems away does
not solve them.
What can be done to rectify these and other problems? We need to
. get together on this. Stop complaining and do something, faculty, staff,
administration and students. Let's get together as one force working for
the better of Marist.
It is important that we all take a stand on this. Marist has the poten-
tial for greatness. It is that no line is drawn when we look to see the dif-
ferent jobs that the faculty and students have on issues pertaining to the .
school at large.
A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest
in students. Let's get together, Marist, and get things done. We invite
everyone interested to a meeting on this subject (date to be announced),
so
keep an
eye out.

Editor:
All free people have been
heartened by the recent changes
taking place in the Eastern Bloc na-

ing of these changes is the Solidari-
ty government now in place in
Poland. However, this fledging
government is far from steady.
After years of gross fiscal
mismanagement, Poland is faced
with tremendous economic pro-
blems. Approximately $10 billion
is needed over the next three years
to insure for Poland a chance at
economic stability and political
success. To date, the government
of the United States has pledged
$119 million. The
SIO
billion need-
ed by Poland amounts to slightly
more than I percent of our $300

It is obvious that a strong, free
and democratic Poland would
stabilize Eastern Europe and great-
ly reduce the confrontation bet-
ween East and West. Hence, the in-
vestment of 1 percent of our
defense budget would be a very
wise and efficient use of defense
funding.

investment in the future of a free,
democratic Poland and in the peace
of the world be made

Good band struts its
B.A.D .. stuff in Po'town
There was nowhere to run last
weekend. The hordes of alumni
descended upon Poughkeepsie like
plundering Visigoths on a lusty
pillaging spree. Every inch of bar
space was taken. I was forced to
find an alternative to my Saturday
night routine. So I did what anyone
in my position would do - I went
to a concert.
Actually, I knew for weeks that
I'd be going to see Big Audio
Dynamite at the Chance, but it was
a good break from the watering
hole scene. It was crowded. It was
hot. People were drinking and dan-
cing. The music was loud.
What makes that any different
from Skinner's or Bertie's you ask?
Well, the Chance had Big Audio
Dynamite on the stage, which made
for a very interesting evening.
.
Many of you are probably
wondering who (or what) Big
Audio Dynamite is. When I tell you
that the lead singer and guitar
player (Mick Jones) was in the
Clash, that might help a little. But
this band is definitely not the
Clash.
Some of you n:iay recall a tune
from B.A.D. 's first album that got
a bit of airplay four years ago-
"The Bottom Line." It's the one
where they say, "The horses are on
the· track." Does it ring a bell?
Well, it's the only one that got even
mildly popular.

When I hear the Clash's "London
Calling" and even "Give 'Em
Enough Rope," I'd agree with this
idea. There is a heavy dose of reg-
gae in the music, and the image is
made even stronger with two
Rastafarians in the band.
But B.A.D.
is more into
technology (computers, samplers,
tape and drum machines) than the
Clash ever was. And they not only
keep a beat, they kick it, roll it,
create it, redefine it. You get the
idea.
From my perch in the balcony,
about ten feet above the stage,
I
had a great time. The only people
in the entire club who weren't mov-
ing were the zombies to my im-
mediate left.

think they're still
standing there. (Why do sacks of
potatoes go to concerts?
If
you
want to stand around, why not go
to the library, or a parking lot, or
a dark closet? Stay home you
party-pooping slugs!)
END NOTES:
A lot of people
have been asking me, "Are you go-
ing to see the Stones?" No. And
it's nothing personal -
I like the
--------------
Stones. But I thought I'd save the
noises (courtesy of his digital
sampler) and the lifted movie lines
that play a big part in the band's
-sound. All members sing backup,
'with Williams often taking the lead
with his Jamaican-style rap.

wonderful beer
I
see them adver-
tising on
TV.
What's next - Mick
doing Chap-Stik commercials?
Okay, concert tours are expensive.
But no matter how you look at it,
it still spells sell-out.
You can't help but be interested
by a band where one member

(Jones) is frightfully pale, two music columnist.
Life on the big basketball_ court
can make you feel a little dead
I saw him charging.
I was patiently waiting in the
paint, my mind tuned in to his
every move, and when he came in
close, I stood my ground.
He went up for what appeared
to be a shot, and I went up for what
appeared to be a block.
I came down on his foot, and
was confronted by the most ex-
cruciating pain I had ever faced in
my life.
I knew I was done for the night.
The ankle felt as if 10,000 pounds
of steel had dropped on it.
Crazy thoughts danced through
my head like sugar plums.
Was my career over? Being an
option year, would my contract be
renegotiated? Perhaps most impor-
tant, to what degree would my deal
with Nike be affected?
As I fay on my back, writhing in
pain, clutching my ankle, all that
could be heard was: "Hey, you
ready to go? Are you running, or
what?"
Oh, gosh. I forgot about the
game. How rude of me.
What the hell do I care if I never
walk again. Walking is a foolish
luxury anyway.
I'm at Mccann and I figure I'll
hobble over to the trainer's· room
and ask for help.
I casually saunter over, and
politely explain my dilemma to the
man.
"Can you do something for
me'?"
"Are you a varsity athlete?" was
the reply.
Wes Zahnke
A
day
in
the
life
I pondered this and decided to be
honest: "No."
"Sorry. This is only for varsity
athletes."
.
Oh, you mean those programs
that I support with my tuition
money, hey, pighead!
I'm standing there with my bulg-
ing
ankle, an injury sustained some
30 feet from the trainer's room,
and
this bozo is telling me that my
only option is a bag of ice from the
ball room.
Feeling like the Red Badge of
Courage, I
aimlessly walk thinking
of life in Capastrano, with no food
and meager water supplies.
Inevitably, I knew what was
next. I didn't want to think of it,
but logic dictated the progression.
Let's review. An injury leads to
a visit at the infirmary, which leads
to a weekend of sheer agony at St.
Francis.
This occurred last Tuesday
night, so I mentally began to nix
any and all weekend plans.
It has been said "The Far Side"
is a Poughkeepsie-based cartoon -
plenty of talent to chose from.
We had bleeders and police
escorted criminals, and of course,
decent Poughkeepsie folk. Bless
them.
They say that the Meiji Restora-
tion took a while to complete, but
it can't hold a candle to the wait
that I endured.
The doctors here got their start
at Johns Hopkins, but left for the
big time: St. Francis.
After a mere hour and a half
wait the doctor saw me for some
10 seconds, my foot was wrapped,
crutches issued and I was on my
way.
My life then took a tailspin.
Hobbling around campus on crut-
ches and staying home soaking my
foot while my peers were out hav-
ing fun didn't exactly make my
day.
I
decided to forego Alumni
weekend for a little R&R at home,
with some T.L.C. from MOM.
The foot is better, but St. Fran-
cis remains the same.

of Quintero's family are frozen,
making it impossible for him even
to pay his tuition at Marist. Since
he is not a U.S. citizen, the chances
of getting a grant or scholarship are
slim.
Luckily, Marist has made special
arrangements for Quintero, who is
attempting a dual major in math
and computer science.
"Marist is deferring my tuition
semester to semester, until I can
pay it back," said Quintero, who
works as a private tutor in addition
to his job in the computer center.
·'As long as I keep working and
keep my grades up, I can stay."
When he was last in Panama in
the summer of 1988, Quintero
spent a few hours in Panama City
before going to his hometown.
Even then, he said he could
see
that
times were not good in Panama's
capital, which contains about 50
percent of Panama's more than 2
million people.
"Things are going from bad to
worse down there," he said.
Quintero said he fears that the
recent coup attempt may prompt
Noriega to declare martial law,
making conditions in Panama even
worse. Since Noriega controls the
army and all its weaponry, the
Panamanian people have little
choice but to try and get along.
"People are lfving day to day,"
Quintero said. "They
just
adjust
to
the situation and hope things get
better."

touchdowns.
Dan McElduff took an O'Don-
nell pass in from 25 yards for the
score. Douglas' kick made it 10-6.
On the ensuing kick off, Pardy
reached into his bag of tricks.
Peter Haviland came in to kick
the ball deep. However, Haviland
hit a picture-perfect onside kick 11
yards up field where it fell into the
hands of Greg Chavers.
The offense continued to show
balance as the Red Foxes gained
.
136 yards on the ground with their
rushing attack led by Scott Defalco
- gaining 51 yards on 17 carries.
"That was sneaky, but we've
been working on it for along time,"
"
Pardy said.
.
Chavers said he was confident
that
·he
could make the play.
"We needed a little more
momentum," Chavers said.
"I
knew that I could get it."
Rich Oleszczuk blocked a Siena
punt and four plays later Douglas
made it 13-6 with his second field
goal of the day.

day on the Saints' next posession;
After a 20-yard pass from

to Dan DelPrete,
McElduff rambled in. from the 2
for his second score of the day;
Douglas then·made it 20~6 with the
point after.

Riccardi recovered his second
fumble of
the
afternoon with just
32 seconds left in the half.
O'Donnell
then found Pat
Mullaly from 8 yards out to round
out the first half scoring. After .
Douglas' kick, Marist led 27-6 at
the mid-way point.
The last points of the
game
came
with 8:56 left in the third quarter
when O'Donnell found DelPrete in
the end zone from
_the
IO-yard line.
Douglas made it 34-6 when he
scored his 10th point of the
afternoon.
After struggling for the past cou-
ple of weeks, O'Donnell got the of-
fense back on track.
"We utilized everything," he
said. "We have been struggling of-

continued from page 12
Thomas Watson Sr.; father of the
student, and Kevin Francis, a
sophomore from Rocky Hill,
Conn., Watson poured a bottle of
champagne over the "Tom Wat-
son."
The Watson family presented all
•
the team members who knew their
son and brother with t-shirts. A red
"M" and the bow of the
"Tom
Watson" are on the front of the
shirt and crossed oars and a pair of
red Converse high-top sneakers
were on the back.
Members· of the novice light-
weight eight boat, in which Watson
rowed, wore red Converse high-top
sneakers to all the races last year.
Senior women's captain, Sarah
Brown, said the ceremony gave the
entire crew team the chance to see
how much the Watson family ap-
preciated the team.
•
"A lot of people'did not unders-
tand why the !;>oat
was being nam-
ed for Tom," she said. "The
christening and the speeches
(by
Watson and Francis) gave everyone
a chance to hear how much crew
meant to Tom."
"Tom loved Marist and he lov-
ed crew," Watson said. "Thank
you for remembering our son."
About 25 of the 40 Marist team
members - including head coach
Larry Davis and assistant coach
Don Seals - were at the funeral in
Wethersfield, Conn.
The "Redline" will be rowed by
the varsity light-weight men and the
"Watson" will be rowed by the
varsity heavy-weight women in the
coming season.
Both boats are eight-person
shells and are manufactured by
Kaschpur Racing Shells of Canada.
Crews have already competed in
the boats - rowing at the Head of
the Hudson in Albany this fall.
The "Redline," which arrived
last spring, was also used during
the 1989 spring season.
The defense continued its strong
play.
Ranked second in rushing
defense and sixth overall in Divi-
sion III, the Foxes limited Siena to
just 130 yards of total offense.
Chavers credits part of the suc-
cess to the team's constant blitzing.
"Blitzing "is the key," he said.
''The offense can't pick it up in
time/'
.
Riccardi led the team in tackles
for the third time this season as the
freshman linebacker recovered two
fumbles and registered 12 tackles
-
eight unassisted:
The starting defensive backfield
-· consisting of Chavers, John
Gahan, Steve Merenda and Bob
Mealia - continued its fine play.

Gridders return
to crush ·Saints
by Mike O'Farrell
Like the alumni who returned to

.
them on, the Red Foxes
returned home to Leonidoff Field
where they demolished the Saints
of Siena 34-6.
"This is just as much our
Homecoming as anyone's," saicl
Marist coach Rick Pardy. "We
have been on the road for two
tough weeks."
Prior to the Siena game, the Red
Foxes suffered a loss and a tie while
playing their last two games on the
road.
With this win, Marist improved
its record to 3-1-1 - including an
Atlantic Collegiate Confrence
record of 2-1 which will keep the
Red Foxes in the running for a con-
frence title because each team in the
league has at least one loss.
Saturday, the Red Foxes host the
United States Coast Guard
Academy at 2 p.m.
The Cadets, who are 3-2 on the
year, are the defending East Coast
Athletic Confrence champions.
Coast Guard defeated Wesleyan
University 21-10 in its game this
past weekend.
Last Saturday, the Red Foxes
combined an explosive offense, a
str<>ng,
stingy defense and the ele-
ment of surprise in their 28-point
thrashing of Siena.
•
The Saints struck early and
things did not look too good for
Marist.
Quarterback Dan O'Donnell was
intercepted and three plays and one
minute later, Dave Renzi scored for
Siena on a 13-yard run.
.
After that score, it was all Marist
-
offensively and defensively -
for the rest of the day.
Kicker Chris Douglas brought
the Red Foxes within three points
when he connected on a 30-yard
field goal to cap off a drive of four
minutes and 13 plays.
Marist took advantage of three
Siena fumbles to blow the game
open in the second quarter.
After Matt Daly recovered the
Saints' first blunder, the Red Foxes
moved 44 yards in 56 seconds to
move ahead 9-6.

Booters need conference wins
to qualify for postseason play
by Chris Shea
It's crunch time for the Marist
soccer team.
Coming off a solid week with
win and a tie, the Red Foxes now
have
a
must-win situation when
they host conference rival St. Fran-
cis (Pa.) Friday.
Marist is currently 2-3 in Nor-
theast Conference play and accor-
ding to head coach Dr. Howard
Goldman, the team must win its
last two conference games to be
considered for postseason play.
"We don't have a choice," said
Goldman .. '_',Either we win or we
don't -
·there's
no toinmorrow."
This pas\rweek found the Red
Foxes climbmg back up to
.the
.500
mark.
Last Wednsday Marist easily
handled Iona College.
The game was not as close as the
2-1 final score would indicate - as
the Red Foxes dominated every
aspect of the game.
"We missed a lot of oppor-
tunities," said Goldman. "The
score could have easily been 6-1.''
Sophomore Bob Meindl and
freshman Dan Callahan each
scored for the· Red Foxes.
Iona was able to manage its on-
ly goal with a minute and a half left
in the game.
Marist outshot its opponent
15-6, never thoroughly testing Red
Fox goalie Matt Scarano, who was
playing without his contact lenses.
Since back-up goaltender Adam
Brown
was
injured Goldman
said
he
had no coice but to go with
Scarano and hope for the best.
On Saturday Marist played to a
scoreless tie against the Red
Raiders from Colgate. The Red
Foxes were outshot 17-4 by Colgate
-
including 7-2 in the overtime
periods.
"We dodged a bullet," Goldman
said. "Colgate has a very strong
team, and although we played well,
we still could have lost."
Scarano, this time with proper
eye wear, sparkled in goal, accor-
ding to Goldmann. Scarano made
key saves throughout the game to
preserve the tie.
_
"Our whole defense performed
well," said the 26th-year head
coach.
Goldmann also singled out
sophomore Phil O'Hara, from
Flushing, N. Y.,
for
making impor-
tant contributions during the game.
The scoreless tie was Marist's se-
cond of the year -
the only
previous one came on Sept. 5 at
Quinnipiac College.
Crew names boats in ceremony
by St11cey McDonnell
Marist crew members, past and
present, christened two boats and
remembered a friend last Saturday
morning at the Martin Boathouse.
The "Redline" and the "Tom
Watson" were officially named
before the annual alumni race held
at 11:15 a.m.
About 150 crew members, fami-
ly and fri~nds honored Tom Wat-
son, a Marist student and crew
member who died in July, by nam-
ing a new racing shell after him.
Traditionally, crews had named
''Tom loved Marist
and he loved

something to the team whereas the
modem trend is to name a boat for
a
specific rowing term or phrase.
"Redline" is a term which usual-
ly means rowing 10 strokes as hard
as possible.
Marist's team members voted on
both of the names - keeping tradi-
tion and following the wave of the
future.
Senior men's captains Sean
Kaylor and John Andreasen
poured a bottle of champagne over
the bow of the "Redline" at the
beginning of the ceremony.

What can be done about the World Series?
It's that time of the year again.
The time when two baseball
teams from California get together
for the Fall Classic - at least it has
seemed that way lately.
Last year the Oakland Athletics
squeaked by the Boston Red Sox in
four straight games to win the
American League pennant but
choked in the World Series - los-
ing four of five to the Los Angeles
Dodgers - thanks Kirk.
This year, with Ricky Henderson
back in Oakland, the A's tOQk four
of five from tl)e Toronto Blue Jays
to making a repeat appearance in
the Series.
Meanwhile, Will Clark and the
San Francisco Giants did the same
thing to the Chicago Cubs, who
were hot at the end of the season.
The World Series just doesn't
seem
the same, though, when it is
over on the other coast.
The only positive aspect of the
all-California series is
the after-
noon baseball games.
Television contracts have the
games played during the East
Coast's prime-time so they can
maximize the profits. But prime-
time on the East Coast is late after-
noon on the West Coast and that
makes for some good baseball.
Overall, though, when the entire
series is played on the West Coast,
it seems to alienate the rest of the
country.
The Series always seems to be
more interesting when the teams
have to travel across the country -
not just over a bay. There have
been exceptions - last year for ex-
ample when Kirk Gibson gave the
world his impersonation of Roy
Hobbs -
but on the whole, the
Series is much better when one of
the teams is actually "on the
road."
The fans in California must have
felt the same way when - boy, do
I hate to bring this up - the Red
Sox played the Mets and the Series
was
on the East Coast.

The "National League Retire-

and, so with a little work, the Mets
could make an appearance in a year
or two.
The Baltimore Orioles surprised
most people this year by doing so
well - they may have a legitimate
shot next season if they don't choke
again.

but there could be a pro-

The Dodgers and the Yankees

any World Series appearances

Since the teams for the 1989
World Series have been chosen,
they should not be ignored - they
earned their way there.
Of course, there is no way to ig-
nore Henderson anyway. Try as
hard as you like - he will be there
to haunt you along with the rest of
the A's.
Just
try
and
think about wino-
ing when Dave Stewart is on the
mound with Dennis Eckersley is
warm.ing up in the bullpen.
And the hitters? Well, did
anyone see Jose Canseco's poke
last weekend? Enough said.
The Giants have their share of
talent as well -
most of it plays
first base.
Will Clark put on a clinic dur-
ing the National League Cham-
pionship Series and undoubtably
will continue in the World Series.
OK, enough beating around the
bush - the Series starts Saturday
in Oakland. The prediction: the
Giants in six games.
Why? The A's choked last year,
so I don't trust them. They can hit,
but not consistently. The Giants are
peaking at the perfect time and they
look too tough.
It's :iot the Reds but who are you
going with, Pete?
