Marist students helped out at the Special Olympics in Saugerties, N. Y.,

Special athletes
score big points
with ~tudent help
by Julie Cullinane
Playing soccer and softball are lots of fun for many people, but Marist
students found a new meaning for sports when they coached, supported
and cheered on Special Olympics athletes Saturday ..
About 70 Marist students arrived at the New York State Special Olym-
pics, in Saugerties, at 8 a.m. Saturday morning. Waking up at 6 a.m.
was worth the appreciation and excitement they received from both
athletes and organizers.
•
.
"We would be nothing today without the volunteers from Marist,"
said Bernie Carle, host site director of the Special Olympics. "Marist
really came through in a pinch."
At 11 a.m. three soccer fields and four softball fields came alive with
athletes, coaches and students kicking, throwing and catching balls. On
other fields individual competitions for soccer and softball skills took
place, and students forgot about their lack of sleep Friday night.
Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity members made up almost half of the
Marist population at the games. Bob Carino and Brendan McDonald,
both juniors and TKE members-, were looking forward to the day and
found it to be everything they expected and more.
"I was expecting to have fun, but not this much," said Carino, 20,
from Hyde Park, N.Y., between cheers for the athletes that he and his
partner, McDonald, had coached in the morning.
McDonald, 22, from Bethel, Conn., has volunteered for Special Olym-
pics in the past and knew he'd enjoy it, but said he was lucky·to get such
a fun group of athletes.
McDonald and Carino escorted a group of five athletes to the softball
competitions in fielding, throwing and base running. High fives, thumbs
up and hugs followed each run around the bases.
On the soccer field, the competition got very hot as players and coaches
cheered and yelled out plays.
Drug use smolders
among Marist students
Editor's note: The names of the
students interviewed in this story
have been changed or omitted.

• When Chris Spencer came to
Marist to continue his education he
was also continuing something else
-
a cocaine habit that began in
high school.
"At home, cocaine was the drug
.of
choice," he said.
"Here
it
wasn't as popular, but I knew
·about
five or six people who did it
once in a while."
Now an upperclassman, Chris
no longer uses cocaine or any other
illegal drug. "Basfcally it' got too
expensive and then after a while I
didn't feel the urge to do it; too
many people get out of hand with
it," he said.
While most students interviewed
agreed that alcohol is the most
prevalent drug at Marist, they said
illegal drugs, especially marijuana,
and to a lesser degree, acid, cocaine
and mescaline, are used by Marist
students.
Although the number of students
who use drugs cannot be accurate-
ly determined, students themselves
suspect
it's
a considerable
percentage.
Among 30 students asked, most
estimated
the percentage
of
students who use illegal drugs is 25
to 35 percent. Eight students said
they smoke marijuana and one ad-
mitted using mescaline.
Those students who use drugs
said they get them on campus from
other students, and some said they
went off campus to the Main Mall
of Poughkeepsie and New York
City.
"It
seems pretty easy to get pot
on campus," one junior said. "The
harder stuff is probably gotten off
campus."
According to a study
by
the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services, drug· use by' college
students decreased between 1986
and 1988.
Some 37 percent of college
students polled said they had used
marijuana, down from 41 percent
in 1986. Cocaine use decreased
from 17 percent to 13.7 percent, ac-
cording to the poll.
In the five years he has been at
Marist, Steve Sansola, the director
of housing and residence life, said
he believes there has been a
.
downward trend
in
drug use.
"Education has a lot to do with
that," he said. "Students are more

Five years of training paid off

Club
when Jordan

got two goals in the first game and
Ricky Shaw saved a number of
goals.
Some of the student volunteers
played soccer with the team athletes
before the games began, and the
athletes
gave them some stiff com-
petition, said Tom Kavan, 19, a
sophomore from Southington,
Conn.
"More-than
500
athletes, ages
8
and above, from all over New York
State competed in the games, said
Marc Mercadante, field director in
the Schenectady area.
"Volunteers are the grassroots of
the special Olympics," Mercadante
said. "We (New York) lead the
world in the number of athletes
training and competing, and it's all
because of our massive outreach
program."
Affection best suits a description
of the relationships built between
the athletes and students in just one
day.
• At the awards ceremonies after
each divisional competition, the
athletes were called onto a stage
and received ribbons or medals for
their efforts. When the athletes
came off the stage, they proudly
displayed their awards before the
volunteers and coaches.
When it came time to say good-
bye some of the athletes didn't
want to see the Marist students
leave. One athlete invited Ann-
Marie Guarino to attend the dance
being held for the athletes that
evening. When Guarino, 20, a
senior from Marlboro, N.Y., said
she couldn't go because she had to
get back to school, the athlete sad-
ly threw her a kiss and said he'd
miss her.

Abortion advocates, foes rally
·Molly
Yard main speaker
at pro-choice march
by Kelly
Woods
. Pro-choice activists rallied in Poughkeep-
sie on Sunday to encourage education on
birth contr.ol and to promote the freedom to
have an abortion.
Molly Yard, the president of the National
Organization for Women, and Lucille Pat-
tison, the Dutchess County executive, were
guest speakers before a crowd of 2,000 pro-
clioice demonstrators.
"It's a national issue," said Yard. "Lin-
coln said that you can't exist as a nation be-
ing half-slave, half-free, and women can't ex-
ist as half-slave, half-free."
Pattison affirmed her stand on abortion
in front of the Poughkeepsie Post Office on
Sunday.
"I
abhor abortion
as
a means of birth con-
trol and
l
don't favor abortion," said Pat-
tison. "I favor choice!"
Pattison told abortion opponents they
have no right to tell others what to do with
their bodies. The pro-life marchers had
gathered behind the pro-choice crowd soft-
ly singing "Amazing Grace" .and h~lding.
signs of bloody aborted fetuses in trash cans. •
"Teach your daughter control of her body
and teach your son he has a legal and moral
obligation,"
said Pattison.
"Promote
women's rights."
When Flo Kennedy, a black civil rights
and feminist activist, began her speech, the
pro-choice crowd cheered. She, too,
acknowledged her -opponents.
"They're over there in the corner and they
call themselves 'operation rescue,' but I call
them 'operation FU,' " said Kennedy.
"They're over there thinking they're hot,
knowing they're not."
The mounting enthusiasm from the after-
noon's activities came to a head when Yard
took the podium. Pro-Choice participants
began
.
chanting, ''What do we· want?
':.
.
.'.Choice!"
before
she
spoke:
•
•
•
"Pro-life's rhetoric is that women are pro-·
miscuous and use abortion
as
a form of birth
control," said Yard. "They are liars and
Up And Away
don't know the truth and we're going to tell
it like it is."
Yard attributed more than one-half of all
abortions performed to bad birth control.
She .said schools should provide better sex
education.
"We're going to be single issue voters for
the first time in our lives," said Yard. "We
are going to be in the '90 elections and we're
going to be in the '92 elections."
As her speech came to an end, the crowd
shouted, "Clap your hands, raise your voice,
New Yorkers are for choice!"
"We're on our way," Yard said. "We will
win!"
Many of the demonstrators were op-
timistic about the success their movement has
had in other parts of the country, particularly
in Virginia. L. Douglas Wilder, the
Democratic candidate for Governor in that
state, pulled ahead of his Republican oppo-
nent because of his pro-choice position on
abortion.
"I
don't want to generalize, but it doesn't
make sense to me that a traditional conser-
vative male can appreciate the situation and
what it means to be a woman," said Casan-
dra Toblin, IBM employee from Beekman,
N.Y.
Joy Wilie, a pro-choice demonstrator from
New Paltz,
N.Y.,
said women need to defend
their freedom to choose while the govern-
ment's position on abortion fluctuates.
Although abortion is 1ega1
in New York
State, an Idaho law would make abortion a
crime there if the Supreme Court overturns
Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in
1973.
•
Although the Supreme Court in July
upheld a Missouri law placing restrictions on
abortion, The House of Representatives
. voted 216 to 206 on Oct. 11 to provide
federal fon4ing .for poor women who need
abortions as a result of tape or incest. The •
House had been an obstacle for abortion
supporters since the Hyde Amendment bann-
ed federal spending for abortion in
1981.
Right-to-life supporters
counter pro-choice move
by
Maureen
Kerr
Pro-life organizers and 1,000 supporters
gathered in Poughkeepsie on Sunday to con-
front abortion advocates with prayers and
pickets.
"They're marching to kill babies," said
Jim Sedlak, director of Stop Planned Paren-
thood. "We couldn't let them come to town
without letting them know people disagree.
We're here to pray for them and to let pro-
life forces know they're not alone."
Sedlak and abortion opponents from all
over New York. State participated in
a
pro-
life rally at Our Lady of Lourdes High
School before marching to the post office,
where pro-choice advocates were scheduled
to -appear.
Rev.
George Lucas, Baptist minister and
executive director of the American Life Lob-
by Political Action Committee, called abor-
tion an "ungodly institution" and urged
onlookers to say no to Molly Yard, president
of the National Organization for Women,
and legislators who support pro-choice.
Lucas condemned the 25 millions abor-
tions that have occurred since the Supreme
Court legalized abortion in the landmark
1973
case "Roe v. Wade." "Life begins at
conception," he said. "You·don't need a
Ph.D to know when life begins."
New York State Assemblyman Glenn
Warner called the rally a few blocks away
a "rally of death."
"All freedom is limited," Warner said.
'.'When my actions affect the freedom of a
living person, it's no longer a freedom."
Frank Zanchelli, president of Dutchess
County Right to Life, said Sunday's rally will
"bolster" the pro-life position in the local
community.
Zanchelli, a 1968 graduate of Marist Col-
lege, urged demonstrators to take action
against abortion in their hometowns. "The
blbod is flowing," he said.
As pro-life supporters marched along Mill
Street to the pro-choice rally, individual
groups chanted, "Jesus loves the little
children," while others waved picket signs
that read, "A woman's choice is before
pregnancy, not after," and "Abortion is
America's holocaust."
The pro-life demonstrators, who lined up
behind police barricades to observe the pro-
choice rally, chanted, "Babies have a right!"
as Dutchess County Executive Lucille Pat-
tison addressed the crowd.
"l
don't favor abortion," said Pattison.
"How I feel about abortion is irrelevant; it's
about rights."
Virginia Sutton, education chairman of
Orange County Right to Life in New York,
, refuted Pattison's statement. "We're talk-
ing about rights too," she said, "the rights
of another human being in the womb."
Grace Abruzzo, a student of Our Lady of
Lourdes High School and a resident of
Millbrook,
N.Y.,
said the pro-choice rally
was designed to show legislative support for
Planned Parenthood to open an abortion
clinic in Poughkeepsie.
•
Abruzzo, who wore a bumper sticker that
read, "Equal rights for unborn women,"
said of the pro-choice advocates: "They feel
-
they're the majority. It's not true. It's im-
portant that we stand up for little babies who
can't stand up for themselves."
John Lynch, head of the voter identifica-
tion project for Dutchess County Right to
Life, said the pro-choice movement does not
reflect the majority of U.S. citizens.
After three years of identifying and recor-
ding the opinions of Poughkeepsie voters
and the surrounding districts, Lynch said he
found most people oppose abortion.
"Americans who are educated on the issue
cannot support abortion," he said. "They
cannot support the taking of a human life."
Lynch said he was discouraged, but not
surprised, by last week's decision by the
Florida State Legis\ature to deny tighter
restrictions on abortion. "lt's a setback, but
it will also he\p motivate pro-life voters," he
said.

While proposals for honors pro-
grams await what some call a
lengthy approval, honors courses
have been established to stimulate
the school's stronger students, ac-
cording to faculty members.
The current honors course at
Marist, "Studies in Global In-
dependence," began this fall dur-
ing the phase out' period of "The
Science of Man" program that
ends with the class of
1990.
This course was open to first-
semester freshman who met re-
quirements to be successful in that
type of a challenging atmosphere.
To be.a participant in this honors
course, several factors were taken
into consideration. The freshman
were selected out of the top 100
students in their class and the deci-
sion to enroll them was made with
regard to their grade point averages
and class rank.

Brother Joseph Belanger, pro-
fessor of French, submitted a pro-
posal to the Academic Affairs
Committee in November of
1988.
Belanger said he has heard of as
many as four other proposals cur-
rently being reviewed.
'·'The main objective of this one-

Dyson center groundbreaking
scheduled for· tomorrow
by Bill
Johnson
The groundbreaking for the new
North End academic building will
take
place tomorrow, President
Dennis Murray announced last
week.
The building, which will be
located adjacent to the Lowell
Thomas Communications Center
and will house the Division of
Mana~ement Studies, is scheduled
for completion in August, ad-
ministrators said.
The board of trustees voted
recently to name the building The
Dyson Center after Charles H.
Dyson, a Dutchess County philan-
thropist and 1he father of a Marist
trustee.
The Dyson family last summer
awarded a major gift towards the
construction of the building. The
amount has not been released, but
Marist administrators have said the
gift will provide the principal fun-
ding for the
$7
million building.
Administrators are counting on
1he 53,000-square-foot building to
alleviate the classroom crunch on
campus due to the Donnelly Hall
renovation and the closing of part
of Marist East for fire code viola-
tions. The Dyson Center is seen as
the permanent substitute for Marist .
East.
The three-story, gray stone and
brick
building will include
21
classrooms,
55
faculty offices and
six seminar rooms. The building
was designed by the architectural
firm of Einhorn Yaffee Prescott of
Albany and will be built by Piz-
zagalli Construction Company of
Poughkeepsie.
Besides management studies,
The Dyson Center will also house.
the Division of Social and
Behavioral Sciences as well as the
adult education and public ad-
ministration programs.
Administrators say the project is
part of a redesign of the North End
of campus. The Dyson Center will
be built perpendicular to the Lowell
Thomas Communications Center,
and the Lowell Thomas parking lot
will
be moved to the area near the
gas station, according to plans. The
two buildings and the Townhouses·
will
create a quadrangle of grass
and trees.
''I'm expecting to hear about the proposal
somewhere around the year 2000, consider-
ing the way things go around here."
Belanger's proposal ~ncludes
16
faculty members and suggests that
50 students be invited to participate
in the program each year. The
areas of instruction would include
philosophy, science, religion and
art, Belanger said.
Belanger said he was aggravated
by the amount of time it was tak-
ing for the proposal to be reviewed.
"I'm expecting to hear about the
proposal somewhere around the
year 2000, considering the way
things go around here," he said.
Meanwhile, the "Studies in
Global Independence" program is
picking up where the "Science of
Man" program left off.
"There is a broad range of
academic interest at Marist from
to give an understanding of how in-
terdependent
we
are," said Atkins.
While
some
instructors
volunteered
their
time and
knowledge to teach the course,
others were selected.
"I
went over the list of available
instructors to find a diversity of
people to 1each the course," said
Atkins.
Although its outcome may or
may not reflect on the faculty's
decision to enforce the honors pro-
gram, Atkins said he was pleased
with program's start.
"So far it has gone well. I think
the students have enjoyed it. They
talk a lot and say worthwhile
things," said Atkins.

well since there were a number of

Several students said although
they know illegal drugs exist at
Marist, they have never seen
students using them.
"I have never really encountered
it, so I don't believe there is much
of a problem with it at this
school," another sophomore said.
One student said he believes
there is a problem, particularly
with one of his friends.
"I have one friend who gets high
all the time and misses a lot of his
classes; we're really worried about
him," he said.
The counseling center provides a
place for students who have pro-
blems with drugs to speak to a
professional.
Barbara Fries, who has been a
counselor at Marist for three years,
said fewer than 10 students have
come to her to talk about problems
""ith illegal drugs. However, she
said the number of students who
seek counseling for alcohol pro-
blems is much greater.

Freedom
Brennan, Cronkite
win
FDR
awards
by Karen Cicero
Supreme Court Justice William
Brennan and former CBS News an-
chorman Walter Cronkite were
right next door in Hyde Park last
week.
Cronkite and Brennan were just
two of the five nationally-
recognized Americans who were
honored in a ceremony sponsored
by the Franklin and Eleanor
Roosevelt Institute.
About 250 people, including
Marist students, gathered in St.
James Church to see Brennan and
•
Cronkite receive Four Freedoms
Awards, which are medals given in
memory of Roosevelt's Jan, 6,
1941 speech.
On that day, Roosevelt told
•
Congress that democracy required
the following freedoms: freedom of
speech and
_expression,
freedom of
worship, freedom from want and
freedom from fear.
Since 1951, the institute has been
awarding medals for each of these
freedoms and an overall freedom
medal.
Other
recipients
include:
Dorothy Height; president of the
National
Council
of Negro
Women, J. William Fulbright, a
former Arkansas Senator who
established Fulbright Scholarships
and Raphael Lemkin, a deceased
law professor who engineered a
United Nations convention on
genocide.
Five Marist students escorted the
honorees during their two-day stay
in Hyde Park, and another student
assisted the institute in public rela-
tions for the event..
In addition, President Dennis
Murray serves on the institute's
board.
Susan Roeller Brown, executive
assistant to the president who coor-
dinated Marist's involvement in the
ceremony, said both the institute
and the college benefited from the
arrangement.
"When students helped with the
ceremony in 1987," she said, "they
told me it was the most exciting ex-
perience they had at Marist."
For Paur O'Sullivan, a senior
communications
major
who
escorted Brennan, the event meant
getting a glimpse of the "humani-
ty behind the Supreme Court deci-
sions."
"A person who decided the fate
of major court decisions seemed
genuinely interested in meeting
me,'' O'Sullivan said of Brennan.
Brennan, who received the
overall Four Freedoms
Award,
spoke of the injustices that the legal
s~stem sometimes causes
in
today's
society.
"We must
recognize t1'at past
legislation has only begun to
elirninate legal
inequalities in our
society,"
said the 83-year-old
justice, whose recently
wrote
the
Supreme Court's flag-burning
deci-
sion. "We have to point out how
the system is really working. We
must put real morality into
legal
conscience."
He also
asked the
audience,
which
included 60
Minutes satirist
Andy Rooney, to
reflect on the real
meaning of the U.S. Constitution.
"What
does the Constitution
mean to
us
in our
time?"
he
ask-
ed. "It must cope
with
our
current
problems and needs."
Cronkite,
a
39-year veteran of
CBS news, praised Roosevelt for
his adamant defense of free speech.
"FDR rallied
us to the banner of
free speech," Cronkite, the
reci-
pient
of the Freedom of Speech
Award,
said.
"He was aggressive
.
and diligent in defending our
•
right."
Unfortunately, he noted,· not
everyone
could hear
FDR's
message.
Warning the
audience of the
dangers
of
apathy,
Cronkite said
everyone
should join the fight
against
censorship.
•
Hyman
Bookbinder, assistant
secretary of state at the time the
United Nations
Genocide
Treaty
was signed, accepted the Freedom
•
of Worship Award for Lemkin.
"Young people of
the world
should
learn
from
one
another. If the outlook
for peace is as great
as I think it is, this
generation
should
have a more peaceful
world."
Bookbinder praised Lemkin, a
key figure in the movement to
outlaw genocide, for his persistence
in ensuring the horrors of the
Holocaust will never be repeated.
He said the Freedom of Worship
A ward corrects a "terrible omis-
sion."
Lemkin never received the credit
he deserved until now, Bookbinder
said.
The 58-year-old died 30 years
ago with seven people at his grave.

William Brennan, with William J.

last week.
"The United Nations treaty

"How many lives have been saved?

abhorred silence. She said today's

Let's not kid ourselves. The

Union Suit? You know, the old,

color. A definitive piece that
enhances any wardrobe.
I'm in the Italian sports car, with

I didn't see the gracious guardian
of the road until it was too late.
Immediately pulling
into
the
traveling lane didn't help my cause,
and as those lights glared at me, I
calmly swallowed my heart and
thought that
a
pinch of paprika
would enhance the flavor.
"Do you know why I pulled you
over?"
"Yes, officer. I was speeding.
I'm really sorry about that, but I
was trying to keep pace with my
friends in three cars up ahead. You
see, we're all going to Shea
Stadium tonight to see the Rolling
Stones."
"Hmm. You got anything illegal
like drugs or weapons?"
Well ... Just those 18 kilos of co-
caine and the two crates of
bazookas in the trunk, I coyly
thought to myself as I handed him
my license and registration.
20 minutes and gallons of sweat
go by as I quietly ponder joining
a monastery
high
in the Himalayas,
where speeding tickets don't exist.
"I'm going to let you slide on the
speeding, but I'm going to have to
get you for visual impairment, on
account of those fuzzy dice hang-
ing from your mirror. Have a good
time at the show."
Suppressing laughter, I think:
Wes Zahnke -
Wanted for two
counts of fuzzy dice. I envision the
dogs being turned loose after state
troopers rubbed their noses with
•
similar fuzzy dice.
"Go get him Butch. Let's put
that savage diceman behind bars."
Ultimately, we arrived at Shea
and were witness
to
the greatest
rock & roll show of all time. 1
couldn't help but grin when Mr.
Eric Oapton showed up.for a song.
I guess he got the message I left
on his answering machine.
The dice were removed for the
ride home, but they
will
return.
Because
fugitive fuzzy dice don't
die, 'hey just keep rollin' on.

editorial
A
matter of honor
As the Science of Man curriculum, the college's unofficial
honors program, comes to an end this year, a replacement pro-
gram still has yet to be developed.
What may fill the void, however, is a new one-credit course
called "Studies in Global Independence." The course could in-
troduce a new honors program, one which would offer courses
in global studies to supplement each area of study.
Meanwhile, this year's freshman class was the third to enter
Marist without the opportunity to enroll in an honors program
since the Science of Man folded.
As the Academic Affairs Com~ittee studies proposals for a
replacement honors program, one of which was submitted near-
ly a year ago, increasing numbers of distinguished students have
to forfeit the experience of a more challenging curriculum.
To their credit, several Marist professors and administrators
have devoted attention to crafting a new and better honors pro-
gram, but progress seems to crawl.
One obstacle to an honors program is the argument that such
a curriculum is unnecessary because many other schools, including
ones with prestigious names, like Vassar, don't have one.
But students who are at a higher academic level than their
classmates need a tailored curriculum that will allow them to reach
their potential just as students with learning disabilities require
additional attention to strengthen their education.
As the college prepares itself for a review of its accreditation,
the development of an official honors program should be made
a priority.
Letters to
The Circle
Racism Response
Editor:
I am writing this letter because
I
am
disturbed by the editorial that
was printed in The Circle on
10/12/89 on page six. The people
in the Black Student Union
recognize t~at there is racism on the
Marist College campus.
The writer of the editorial in The
Circle seems to feel that these peo-
ple who hold prejudice ideas, and
also express them, should all be
named.
This will not
accomplish
anything, unless these people are
also. educated to the reasons why
what they have done is wrong. If
this is not done, then these people
will just continue to be prejudice
because they do not know any
other way of feeling.
I feel that most of the problem
with racism, which I have seen on
campus, is based on the lack of
knowledge about different people's
color, race or religion.
I am a Jewish student and I am
also in a minority on this campus.
•
The racism, in my opinion, is not
based on the fact that these people
are bad. These racist actions are
based upon the college communi-
ty's perception of people and their
differences.
•
The point is not to just come out
and say who is responsible, but the
college community should be
educated to understand that there
are differences in people, and that
people should accept others for
who they are, not what they are.
With the attitude the editor took,
in my opinion, things will just get
worse. People acting in a prejudice
manner will not be any more
educated by being punished, but
will build up hatred because they
are being punished.

s,oviet leader shows
U.S.
how things should be done
Winston Churchill once describ-
ed the Soviet Union as "a riddle in-
side a mystery wrapped around an
enigma."
One can only wonder how Chur-
chill would react to today's Soviet
Union, where the riddle has
become more difficult, the mystery
more perplexing and the enigma
more abstract.
In short, he would probably be
like.the rest ofus: confused and un-
sure of what. to expect next.
When Gorbachev came to power
in the early part of this decade, no
one could have foreseen the
changes he would initiate. Increas-
ed freedom_ of the press, political
opposition, dissent and many other
areas distinguished Gorbachev
from the stone-faced reactionaries
that had preceded him as leader of
the Soviet Union.
But the changes and im-
provements have not come without
a cost. Economically, it would
seem that the Soviet Union must
get worse before it gets b~tter. The
Soviet people are feeling their way
around in the dark, trying to deal
with decisions that the state used to
take care of for them.
And on the international front,
Gorbachev has been achieving un-
paralleled success with his arms
reduction initiatives that are ddgn-
ed to cut the Soviet military budget
so that he and his ministers can
more easily deal with the economic
situation in their country.
All this presents a tremendous
problem for
President Bush.
How should the United States res-
pond? Answers to this question
range from the ultra left
Oet's
em-
brace Gorbachev and give him a
big kiss) to the middle-of-the
road
(trust but verify) to the ultra right
(this glasnost stuff is just a Com-
mie plot to steal our refrigerators
and toaster ovens).
Paul O'Sullivan
Thinking
between
the
lines
Bush is moving cautiously on
this issue, which isn't any big sur-
prise, but ironically it probably is
the best course in this situation.
The United States should take ad-
•
vantage of this situation because
Gorbachev is most likely sincere in
his offers. But, the same time, it
should remember Gorbachev will
not live forever and the situation in
Russia
will
change, for better or for
worse.
Earlier this week, ~retary
of
State James Baker said the United
States may offer to send some of
its economic experts to the Soviet
Union as one of the cautious
methods of helping Gorbachev
with his economic restructuring.
After reading the news from
Wall Street this week, however,
_
Gorbachev might be wise to offer
a
polite "Thanks, but no thanks"
to that one. It would probably
be
a smart move. Although we are
much better off economically than
the Soviets, they are light years
ahead of us
as
far as recognizing
and dealing
with economic
problems.
Gorbachev seems to possess a
quality that is sorely lacking in his
American counterparts: a will-
ingness to face up to and deal with
the ugliness of a situation. While
American leaders, regardless of
their party affiliation, spend their
time convincing people that things
aren't as bad as they seem, Gor-
bachev is workmg to deal with pro-
blems now, instead of waiting for
the painless solution that will never
come.
The argument can be made that
Gorbachev does not have to worry
about being re-elected. This is true.
But since when did holding office
for another term take precedence
over governing for the general
welfare? Furthermore, with more
than 80 percent of incumbent
senators and representatives getting
re-elected, what's the big worry?
In the view of his own coun-
trymen, Gorbachev may be stumbl-
ing; he may be setting loose forces
that he may not be able to control.
But one thing is for certain: he is
not afraid to take responsibility for
leading his nation into rough
waters instead of just telling them
what they want to hear.

Kids say the darndest things
on the Marist College tour
by
Roe Bianculli
Daddy, what school is this?
"This is Marist College, Elwood."
How do you know? The sign just
says "college!" "I read the direc-
tions, Elwood. Let's go take a
tour."
I want to go to the bathroom.
"Shut up, Elwood. We're taking
the tour. Look - there's the Cam-
pus Center, and Champagnat, the
sophomore dorm. Turning left ...
"
Daddy, who are those people in
that tiny little space? "That's the
radio station, Elwood." But why
is it so small? "Because that's just
the way it is. There's no room for
the radio station anywhere else."
What a bummer, daddy!
"I
know,
Elwood; it is rather a 'bummer,'
isn't it? Let's tum around, Elwood;
it's too small in here. Walk this
way... look out for the boom
crane!"
Oh, wow, daddy, this building
looks like a warped frisbee! "This
is Donnelly. They're rencvating
it." Wow! So it's going to look bet-
ter· now, right? "That's right,
Elwood! Now look, here's the
computer center!" Gee, that's real-
ly big! How come it's so big, dad-
dy? "Because our school likes com-
puters, Elwood." This is the big-
gest room I've seen so far! What's
downstairs, daddy? "More com-
puters, Elwood." Oh.
What's in those dusty rooms in
the back of Donnelly? "That's
where the Nursing program used to
be." What happened to the nurses,
daddy?
"They
went away,
Elwood." Does that mean they
died? "No, their prqgram did.
Now walk this way, Elwood, let's
go see the communications center!
Here it is ... "
Gee, what goes in here daddy?
''Communications, Elwood, televi-
sion and radio things!" Then what
are all of these computers doing in
here, daddy? "Well, Elwood ... "
Why aren't the computers in the
Computer Center? "Um ... you
see ... " Why don't they put the
radio station with the other radio
stuff? Why is it still in that tiny
space in Champagnat?
"Hush,
now Elwood, you're embarrassing
our tour guide!" But daddy
...
"Be quiet, Elwood. Look, here
are the Townhouses!" These look
like nice places to live! "They are,
Elwood, they are! There's the
Gartland Apartments ... '' Daddy,
how come all of the students here
_ look so ... young? "That's because.
they're sophomores, Elwood."
I
thought the sophomores were in
Champagnat! "Well, they're here,
too."
So where are the juniors and
seniors? "Well, Elwood, they're in
another place." Does that mean
they died, too? "No, Elwood.
They're in a place five miles from
campus called Canterbury."
Is
Canterbury
like hell, daddy?
"Umm ... ask
your
mother,
Elwood." Did they do anything
bad to get sent to Canterbury?
"No, Elwood; there's just no room
for them here."
Gee, daddy, that's really sad.
Are there any juniors or seniors
here at all? "Yes, Elwood, some of
them are still here." They're kink
of like the dinosaurs, aren't they,
daddy? There are so few of them
left around here. Are they going to
die out on campus altogether? "I
sure hope not, Elwood. That would
be really bad." It sure would,
daddy.
Whe·n are we going home?
"I
think we've seen enough of the
school; let's just take a scenic tour
of Poughkeepsie." Oh, daddy!
What arc all those gunmen doing
surrounding that house? "That's
the National Guard, Elwood.
They're just busting a Marist par-
ty." Oh.
Daddy, who's that nice man on
the corner? "What nice man,
Elwood?" The one offering money
to people. "Offering
money,
Elwood?" Yea, daddy, he keeps
asking them if they want a dime
bag! "That's
a drug dealer,
Elwood; put your head back in the
car!"
Well, what's he doing on the cor-
ner, daddy?
I
thought drugs were
bad!
"They
haven't arrested him
yet, Elwood; they're too busy get-
ting the beer away from the college
kids." Why are they getting beer
away from college kids when this
guy is offering drugs to everybody?
"I don't know, Elwood."
What's going on here, daddy?
"Elwood, hush!" Do people real-
ly like it here, daddy?
"I
think they
do, Elwood. Marist tries; they just
get a little unreasonable at times."
Well, why doesn't someone fix
what's going on? "They will,
Elwood, they will. Give them time,
and stop asking so many ques-
tions!"
"But if l
don't, daddy,
who
will?"
Roe Bianculli is a senior major-
ing in communication arts.
Musical copycats detract from
the way oldies should be heard
Since it is midterms, I thought
I'd tackle a rather trivial musical
matter that has been a minor con-
cern of mine lately. Relax your
brain. I'm talking about remakes
(a.k.a. cover tunes).
Have you noticed the tremen-
dous amount of cover tunes being
produced lately? It's not a new
thing for a band to cover someone
else's song on an album, but over
the past few years this phenomenon
has reached epidemic proportions.
I call it "unoriginalitis."
This is not always
a
bad thing,
but there are some who should be
held accountable for taking good
songs and mangling them in order
to tum a fast buck.
Culprit number one: Tiffany. I
can't find anything good to say
about this untalented little disco
queen, but I think my gripe is
legitimate. What she did to the
Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing
There" is inexcusable. For the few
brief seconds that I saw the video,
I was filled with utter contempt.
To satisfy my rage I imagined
John, Paul, George and Ringo
jumping on the stage, beating the
daylights out of her and hurling her
into the crowd of horrified,
prepubescent Tiffany worshippers.
At least Debbie Gibson writes her
own material.
Then there's Samantha Fox. I'm
not sure who originally performed
"I Only Want To Be With You,"
but it wasn't her. Of course, she
stole the tune and had tremendous
success with it. It doesn't hurt to
writhe and wriggle on MTV to
make the top 10, does it?
But Michael
·oarnian
takes first
Kieran Fagan
In
your
ear
prize in the category· of shameless
ripoffs. To those of you who like
his version of "Rock On," I ask:
have you ever heard the original (by
one hit wonder David Essex)? So
this soap star decides he wants to
play rock star?
It isn't hard these days. First, get
a producer. Then buy the rights to
a song that was once a hit. Use the
latest studio tech- nology to make
you sound like a singer. Put it all
in a pretty package, shake well and
you've got an instant hit single.
It's not the poor quality of these
remakes that bothers me. In fact,
they're often very well produced.
What gets me is that these talentless
hucksters are making money off of
songs that someone else perform-
ed, and performed professionally.
It doesn't bother me as much
when they write some "original"
pre-packaged, synthetic pop. At
least that takes a little thought and
creativity. But taking sure-fire hits
into the studio in order to make a
hit of your own is just too easy.
Not all bands have hits
in
mind
when they do cover tunes.
Sometimes a band will remake a
song out of admiration for the
original artist. It's called "paying
homage," not "paying off."
Earlier in their careers, the
Beatles and the Stones played
almost nothing but covers - from
Buddy Holly to Chuck Berry.
These songs re- fleeted the bands'
influences and inspirations. They
weren't always done well, but at
least they had spirit.
There are more recent remakes
that were done out of respect for
the original. An entire album of
Neil Young tunes is out now, all of
which are performed by alternative
bands. And for a real change of
pace you should hear "Stay
Awake." It's an album of Disney
songs done by the likes of George
Clinton, the Replacements, Los
Lobos, and Ringo Starr (to name
just a few).
There are some rare instanc_es
where I find the remake to be bet-
ter than the original. Jimi Hen-
drix's
"All Along the Wat-
chtower" is far superior to Dylan's
version (even Dylan thinks so). I
prefer UB40's "Red, Red Wine" to
Neil
Diamond's original, which
isn't difficult. And, while few peo-
ple have ever agreed with me on
this one, I'd rather hear Power Sta-
tion do "Get It On (Bang a Gong)"
than T-Rex.
But let me say for the record that
no Abba tune has ever been done
better than the glorious original.
Happy midterms.

Singers to converge for Eastern Ellrope tour
by Julie Cullinane
''Do ... re ... me ... fa ... so .. .la ...
Mos-cow.''
That's the tune the Marist Col-
lege Singers are singing these days
as they prepare for Red Square and
points east.
Under the direction of Dorthy
Ann Davis, director of music, up
to 12 of Marist's chosen will visit
the Soviet Union next spring on a
15-day "Voices of the Future"
tour.
Anyone in the Marist communi-
ty, including students, faculty and
Marist employees are eligible, said
Davis. Auditions
will be
today.
The tour, from May 21 through
June 4, will cost $1,685 per person,
which includes - visas, transporta-
tion expenses and tips, she said.
Davis organized the trip through
Arts and Development, an associa-
tion in Kingston, which promotes
education through the arts.
Because the Soviets strongly sup-
port the arts, Davis said she is very
excited about the trip, but said she
was instructed to take precautions
when choosing the repertoire.
"We were cautioned by Arts and
Development to choose any songs
pertaining to the Trinity with great
care," Davis said.
Casimir Norkeliunas, associate
professor of Russian and German,
will be teaching the group a few
Soviet songs and also tutoring them
in Russian, Davis said.
Norkeliunas is planning his own
trip to the Soviet Union in March.
Having sojourned to the Soviet
Union before with Norkeliunas,
Davis said she looks forward to
revisiting some of the cities. The other schools have signed up, Dayis .

New f acuity off er the 'real world' to Marist
by Ted Sharpenter
A renaissance man, a writer and
a former school superintendent are
just' some of the 13 new faculty
who bring their real world ex-
periences to Marist this year.
Among them, Linda
Dickerson
has temporarily replaced Augustus
Nolan, who is on Sabbatical, as an
instructor of organizational com-
munication and retail advertising
and promotion. Before her full-
time appointment Dickerson had
taught as an adjunct faculty
member.
Dickerson is a 1976 Marist aJum-
na. As one of the first students
through the Marist communication
arts program, she said she wants to
give back to the college what it gave
to her.

Craig Fisher, an IBM employee
for twenty years, said teaching at
the college level has always in-
terested him.
"I've always wanted to teach,"
said the assistant professor of com-
puter science.
"I
taught high school
•
and courses at IBM so when the
opportunity to teach full time at
Marist was presented, I took it."
Visiting instructor and former
adjunct, Thomas Goldpaugh,
returned to the Division of Arts
and Letters, after doing research·at
the National Library in Wales.
Goldpaugh said he returned full
time to Marist because he said he
felt a sense of community and
friendliness among the students
and faculty when he was an
adjunct.
After teaching at Bard College in
.Annandale-on-Hudson,
N.Y.,
Richard Goldstein said he was in-
terested in teaching at a bigger
school and in a more structured
atmosphere.
"The chaotic atmosphere at
Bard proved to be both exhausting
and unproductive," said the assis-
tant
professor
of
computer sciertce.
"It's not that Marist is so struc-
tured, it's that the students know
what is expected of them."
Assistant professor of com-
muni~tions, John Hartsock, was
a professional journalist for 10
years. He wroie for the Democrat
and Chronicle in Rochester, N. Y.,
and the Winchester Star in Win-
chester, Va.
Hartsock, the faculty adviser for
The Circle, was also employed by
the States News Service and United
Press International
(UPI) in
Washington, D.C.
Jan Harrington, assistant pro-
fessor of computer science, wrote
six books, including, A/UX, which
came out last week, and is now-do-
ing research on how much incom-
ing college freshmen know about
computers.
"Marist looked like a good en-
viornment to go where I could
write my books and pursue my
research projects,"
said Harr-
ington, who started her research six
years ago at Bently College in
Massachusetts.
Bro. James Kearney; a member

Page 12 - THE CIRCLE - October 19, 1989

Two of the best defense in Divi-
sion III got together last week and
what resulted was a combined 730
yards in total offense.
The United States Coast Guard
Academy visited Leonidoff Field
last Saturday and handed the Red
Foxes a 35-14 loss -

defeat of the 1989 campaign -

However, the Red Foxes refus-

After Doug Sanders returned the
ensuing kick off 15 yards, Marist
quarterback Dan O'Donnell found
an open Steve LoCicero streaking
up the left sideline for a 58-yard
touchdown reception.
Locicero was able to sustain his
concentration and haul in the catch
dispite the ball being tipped by

The Red Foxes moved the ball 40
yards in 4:30 minutes before losing
posession on downs.
On the first play of .their third
posession, Homer rambled outside
for 66 yards, putting the Bears in
scoring territory again. Two plays
later, Murphy scored his second
touchdown of the day to put the
visitors ahead 20-6.
Marist then took over and the
offense continued to perform ex-
tremely well. It took the Foxes on-
ly 4 play -
three passes - to go
67 yards and cut the lead to 20-12.
LoCicero scored his second
touchdown of the day when he
hauled in a 40-yard strike from
O'Donnell. O'Donnell then found
Walter Cook in the endzone for the
two-point conversion making the
score
20-14
in favor of the Bears.
Ironically, neither team could

half.
Marist had one solid chance,
though, when Thomas Coyne
recovered a Coast Guard fumble.

Booters over
.500 for first
time since
mid-Sept.
by
Chris Shea
For the first time since mid-
September the Marist soccer team
is over the .S00 mark.
Last Friday the Red Foxes roll-
ed easily over St. Francis (Pa.) by
the count of 3-0 to move their
overall record to 5-4-3.
Mark Edwards led· the charge
with two goals. Edwards has been
on a tear lately with seven points
- three goals and one assist - in
his last four games.
Rich Kane rounded out the scor-
ing for Marist with his first goal of
the year. Greg Healy, Tim Finegan
and Eric Ross each had an assist.
Coach Howard Goldman was
impressed with his team's play,
however he downplayed the recent
success.
"We played well, but this game
was not a true test,'' he said. "St.
Francis is struggling right now.
They're trying to build for the
future. I can't worry about what
we've done the last three or four
games, we'll just take it one game
at a time."
The Red Foxes will have to take
it "one game at a time" when con-
sidering the rest of the schedule.
Included in the schedule are the
University of Hartford and Central
Connecticut State University -
two of the top teams in New
England.
Marist also has games at Hofstra
University- 4-1 lifetime versus the
Red Foxes -
and against Long
Island University - a sure bet to
make the Northeast Conference
playoffs.
Goldman said he is also worried
about the timing of his team's
schedule.
"Six games in two weeks is a lot
for a soccer team," he said. "Add
to that the fact of mid-terms being
this week, and there's a lot on these
player's minds. And than there's
our injuries."
Marist currently has three key
players out of the lineup for
medical reasons.
Sophomore Phil O'Hara left the
St. Francis game with a twisted
ankle. He joined leading scorer
Shawn Scott - who has missed the
last three games -
and freshman
Greg Browne on the injured list.
Both have strained knees and are
out indefinitely.
