City housing law snags off-campus students

Determined to curb off-campus
parties that disturb the peace or
violate state and local ordinances,

sent letters to several residences oc-

that legal action could be taken
against them.

no signs of forced entry - from Donnelly Hall over the mid-term break,
according to Joseph Leary, director of safety and and security.
Both computers, including keyboards and printers, were taken from
room 105 of the psychology department between 1 a.m. on Saturday Oct.
21 and noon on Sunday Oct. 22, Leary said.
Because there was no damage to the locks, Leary said it is likely the
computers were taken by someone with access to keys. "Whoever took
them (computers) sure knew what they were doing," Leary said.
And the thief or thieves knew exactly what they wanted, Leary said.
Only the two new conputers were taken, nothing was damaged and
an old computer was left behind, Leary said.
Dr. Royce White, assistant professor of psychology, discovered the
computers, one in his office and one in the psychology students' lounge,
missing on the following Monday.
Security and Town of Poughkeepsie Police have no suspects yet but
are continuing an investigation, Leary said.
White said there was no doubt his and the department's door was lock-
ed when he left that Friday. Housekeeping was the last to see the com-
puters when workers were cleaning at I a.m. on Saturday, Leary said .
. The theft prompted Security, under the request of White and other
faculty members, to install new locks last Friday. Before the lock change,
any student or faculty member who had reason to use the room could
get keys or access to them, Leary said.
These Halloween partygoers enjoyed themselves Friday at the Halloween Ball. A trip for two to Florida
during Spring Break was awarded for the best costume.

"In a case like this you try to figure out who has access," Leary said.
"But there were just too many keys out there to boil it down to a few
people."

The center is already conducting a new
survey which will expand the analysis of ran-
dom blood samples from 18 to 26 college
campuses. Results will be available this
spring.
.
Researchers say this survey may confirm
their fears that the worst is yet to come at
college campuses where sexual relations are
the norm rather than the exception.
Stressing education and the protection of
a condom, national and Marist health pro-

breeding ground for the disease.
And. the threat is getting closer to home.
While there are no documented cases at
Marist, AIDS cases have already been
reported at Marist's neighbor, Vassar Col-
lege, according to Bill Arnold, the communi-
ty educator for AIDS-Related Community
Service
(ARCS)
in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
Da'llid Irvine, the administrative director
of Health Services at Vassar, declined com-

AIDS cases -
75 in Dutchess County -
have prompted area agencies to encourage
an all-out effort on the part of college ad-
ministrators to offer an AIDS education
program.
Then, what is Marist doing about it? Not
nearly enough, according to health profes-
sionals and some college personnel.
The Importance of
AIDS·
Education
Arnold rebuked Marist for not incor-
porating an AIDS education program in the
college's curriculum.
He said Marist has a "moral responsibili-
ty" to educate its students about the disease,
which has already claimed 55,000 lives.
"It's like you're giving the students a col-
lege degree and not teaching them how to
read," Arnold said. "Students can't do their
part until the necessary information is
available to them."

fers a one-credit course on

"Trust me, I don't know what

responded.
WINTER
INTERSESSION
That was Feb. 4, 1989. Nearly
nine months later, Mike has ac-
cepted his fate - half of the coun-
try's 110,000 AIDS patients have
died.
But, he's not dwelling on that.
Busier now than he's ever been,
Mike
says he intends to make the
most of his life, mainly through
helping others.
Travelling to various schools
with a message of safe sex and
responsibility,
Mike puts in
16-hour days with AIDS-Related
Community Service (ARCS)
in
the
Mid-Hudson Valley.
"It gives me satisfaction to do
something, a reason to be here,"
Mike said of his involvement with
-"----

May.
"People with AIDS ask: 'What
reasons are keeping me here? Why
don't I just check out?' You can't
have that attitude."
But Mike, who shares an apart-
ment in Rhinebeck, N.Y., with his
18-year-old brother, has to be
careful that he doesn't wear himself
down.
In the ARC stage of the disease,
which means he has AIDS symp-
toms but they haven't
fully
developed yet,
Mike
must try to
balance fatigue with his busy
lifestyle.
"I'm stressed and I'm tired," he
said. "But I'm doing this because
I
want to help people. That makes
me feel good."
Mike also said his parents have
been supportive, but they're not
certain of his needs.
"My family never dealt with this
before," he said. "They don't
know what to do for me.
"My brother was upset for a
long time because he thought I was
going to die. He's more careful
now - he doesn't want to fall in-
to the same trap I did," said Mike,
who says he probably got AIDS
through multiple heterosexual
relationships.
Although m~y

Project
planned. to solve fire code problem
by Bill Johnson
Marist administrators are plan-
ning anot_her
solution to the linger-
ing fire code problems in Marist
East.
Renovations to a corridor in the
back of Marist East will satisfy fire
code regulations so portions of the
front oftbe building won't have to
be closed, according to Executive
Vice President Mark Sullivan.
The corridor which separates the
Marist section of the building from
the warehouse behind it will be
reinforced with sheetrock and
flame-retardant material on the
ceiling,. Sullivan said.
Essentially, the project will fur-
ther close off the
·Marist

section
from the· warehouse, easing fire
code complications. A block wall
which is designed to hold flames
• for three hours already separates
the two sections.
Sullivan said the new plan had
been reached in a meeting with the
building inspector for the Town of
Poughkeepsie, Tom Farruggella.
Farruggella could not be reached
for comment this week.

did not specify

the
timetable of the project. "It'll be
done in the next few months," he
said.
Marist administrators
and
lawyers are negotiating with the
owner of the building, the Mid-
-Hudson
Business Park, over who
will pay how much of the cost,
Sullivan said.
"If
we're lucky,
we're out of there for 20 grand,"
he said.
•
Paul Maley, the manager of the
building, said he could not com-
ment on the current negotiations,
but he said that the owners have
spent "significant amounts of
money" to bring the building up to
code in the past, and that owners
and tenants have negotiated solu-
tions cooperatively.
The fire code violations conern
the width of the corridors and the
material on the walls in the
building, Sullivan said. The rules
vary according to the usage of the
building, he said, and since the
building is used as a warehouse in
the back and an educational facili-
ty in the front, interpreting the
code has been complicated and
time-consumin~.
Sullivan says he hopes the new
plan is the final solution to the fire
code problem.
The administration has been
reluctant to invest money in Marist
East, planning to replace it with
The Dyson Center next year.
"When you add it all up, we've
.been
very responsive," Sullivan
said. "It doesn't seem prudent for
Marist to pay a small fortune to im-
prove space which it's going :o be

a resource center for the communi-
ty, especially college students," she
said.
The group is a clearinghouse for
information on human rights
issues, providing a meeting place
from which local social act1v1st
groups can wage their struggles.
With its strategic location on
Washington
Street,· a major
thoroughfare from Marist College,
into the city, it acts as a reminder
to students on their way into the ci-
ty that outside the shelter of the
classroom society is still wracked
by a variety of ills.
Seven groups share the Connec-
tion which is only open on Satur-
day afternoons. They are the Dut-
chess County Peace Center, The
Dutchess County Committee
Against Racism, The Rainbow
Coalition, The Dutchess County
Mental Health Group, Hudson

Peace Center held meetings in

before making the Connection their

Another goal of "The Connec-

in Dutchess County.
The groups at "The Connec-

when a Poughkeepsie police officer
was suspended from the force for
oneweekwithout pay, due to their
efforts.

racial slurs at a 14-year-old black
boy.
"How can we teach our kids to

don't respect our kids," Deppe

The peace center group plans to
go to every city council meeting un-
til action is taken against the of-
ficer, and the group eventually
hopes to get the officer terminated.
Paraphernalia is sold at the store

AIDS
risk
AIDS is becoming a deadly acquaintance of college students.
Marist students are not immune to this scourge, and they are not
adequately prepared for it.
Studies show that 1 college student in 500 has AIDS; that means
seven Marist students -
at least hypothetically -
could have
AIDS.
•
•
Although there are no documented cases of AIDS at Marist,
the incubation period can last as long as 11 years. Some people
here could have AIDS and not know it.
The uncertain present is alarming enough, but consider the
future. Some people here will get AIDS if more is not done to
prevent it.
Elsewhere, more is being done. Dutchess County Community
College offers a one-credit course on AIDS, and·Vassar College
established an AIDS Task Force four years ago. Mount St. Mary's
College requires freshmen to attend an AIDS seminar as part of
orientation.
Students don't need a college course to alert them to the dangers
of AIDS. And since we don't even know that AIDS is present
on this campus, a task force isn't the solution either.
But a seminar on AIDS and other health risks to students as
part of orientation for freshmen and transfers is a good idea.
Students need mandatory AIDS education and they need it soon.
The longer the administration procrastinates, the greater the
chance students have of acquiring the disease.
Right now, it seems like a covert operation to get AIDS infor-
mation at Marist. While brochures are available in Health Ser-
vices, the recent AIDS presentations on campus were poorly
publicized.
The administration must take a more direct approach to the
AIDS epidemic. Although it generally has been careful not to in-
terfere with the personal Jives of its students, this situation
demands a more effective response.
Realizing that many students aren't going to abstain from sex-
ual relations, the next best step is AIDS education.
We must not wait until it's too late.

Special Olympics
Editor:
Saturday,
Oct. 14, was a
beautiful day. It was warm and
sunny, and the rich spectrum of fall
colors presented a visual feast.
But what made the day really
beautiful was the caring and shar-
ing demonstrated by some Marist
students. That day, approximate-
ly 80 students turned out to assist
at" the New York State Special
Olympic Games.
Their enthusiastic support and
encouragement of the athletes and
their numerous contributions to the
staging of events helped make the
games
a truly
joyful
and
memorable occasion for everyone
involved.
i·.:..-
That evening, at the close of the
games, I was touched and proud to
accept an award presented by the
Special Olympics
_Committee
to
Marist for these student's efforts
and their display of the spirit of
volunteerism. I was also told by the
games coordinator that their par-
ticipation was a critical factor in
making the Oct.
14
event one of the
most successful state games in
years.
I wish to thank all these students
and extend a special note of
gratitude to following, who were
instrumental in mobilizing so many
volunteers: the officers of the class
of 1991; Tau Kappa Epsilon; Tau

•,;Reagan's
big trip
gives···•··
ex-presidents a bad narhe
When Douglas MacArthur ut-
tered the words "old soldiers never
die, they just fade away,'' he did
just that, faded away.
The activities of some of the
former chief executives can't help
but make one wish that some of the
•
United States' old presidents would
heed MacArthur's words and do a
disappearing act.
Last week, former
•
President
Reagan ended nine-day tour of
Japan that was partially financed
by Fujisankei Communications
Group, a Japanese broadcasting
company. In return for giving ex-
clusive interviews to Fujisankei sta-
tions and newspapers, Reagan is
receiving a
$2
million honorarium.
In addition, Reagan came out in
favor of Sony Corporation's
takeover at the same time as his
representatives were discussing a
possible contribution by Sony to
Reagan's presidential library.
Of course, Reagan is a private
citizen riow, he can do whatever he
wants for whomever he wants and
get paid for it.
But while the presidential oath of
office says nothing about what a
chief executive does after he or she
leaves office, are the American
people wrong in asking that former
presidents refrain from behaving
like sitting in the Oval Office was
a stepping stone to the really big
money'!
Some former presidents, such as
Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon,
have chosen to Jive their post-
presidential lives completely as
private citizens. In Nixon's case it's
understandable, considering the
circumstances surrounding his
resignation.
But Ford, while at least not sell-
ing his former title to the highest
bidder, has also chosen for the
most part
not
to use it for the
weight it can carry. Ford seems
content to relax, play golf and
remember the good old days.

of these men could take a
lesson in post-presidential conduct
from Jimmy CarteL Despite the
fact that his administration is often
remembered as inept and bungling,
Carter is proving to the world that
his idealism, while being something
of a hindrance while he was in of-
fice, was not something he picked
up when he was elected and drop-
ped four years later.
Carter has spent his days as a
private citizen overseein~ elections
in Panama and declanng them
fraudulent when Noriega tried to
steal the election; mediating
negotiations to end the civil war in
Ethiopia, building low-cost hous-
ing in the South Bronx and
Philadelphia and educating people
in the Sudan on how to avoid
disease.
Carter has used the fact that he
was president as an opportunity to
walk through doors that normally
would be closed to a private citizen.
Instead of sitting back and recall-
ing past achievements, he is mak-
ing his status as a former president
work for him and the people he
helps.
•
·While
Carter's activity should be
praised, it should not be used
against men like Ford. Gerald Ford
devoted most of his life to serving
in public office and if he wants
a
few years to rest, that is more than
understandable.
.
But comparing the actions of
Carter and Reagan only brings out
all the more the lack of ethical
substance in Reagan's character.
While Carter does good works,
Reagan raises money. Carter is in-
terested in being a great man,
Reagan is interested in being
remembered as a great man. There
is a difference.
One can only wonder the path
George Bush will take when he has
finished his life in the public sec-
tor. We don't know what he will
say when he is standing in the door-
way of the jet that will take him
away from Washington
and
reporters ask him: "What are you
going to do after four (or eight)
years of being president of the
United States?"
Let's just hope it's not "I'm go-
ing to Disney World."

He lives to bust those Canterbury bashes
by Paul Lawrence
Picture this: I'm doing rounds at
about 11:30 p.m. Because Canter-
bury is such a large area, I'm cruis- •
ing around in the army jeep that
Marist has proyided for us, with a
with a mounted machine gun in
case of of trouble.
My sound equipment picks up a
television that is just a bit too loud
by quiet hours standards, so I jump
out of the jeep, kick down the
door, and yell: "Freeze, it's the
UC! You, over there, turn down
that TV! OK, I need to see
everybody's 1.D., now maggots!"
This is usually followed by a string
of obscenities. You just can't beat
all the wonderful abuse you get as
a UC.
Yes, my name is Paul Lawrence
and I'm a unit coordinator at
Canterbury. Whew, that was tough
to admit. I mean, it's not just that
I'm a UC now, but I was last year,
too, and
I
just couldn't stop -.
I
had to do it again.
I know what you're thinking:
"He's crazy, absolute nuts, an in-
credible lunatic; no hope of
recovery." Well, maybe you're
right. Maybe all of us who even
apply for an RA or UC position are
extremely masochistic, especially
those of us who come back for
more. But, is it possible that you're
wrong? Could there be a viable
reason
for
this
strange
phenomenon?
Let's look at the reward you get
from being an RA or UC. To begin
with, we don't get free housing, as
so many of you think; we just col-
Ject one paycheck every two weeks
like every other campus employee.
And it's not as big a paycheck as
you might imagine.
Let's just say that I like being
underpaid and unappreciated. And
that's an important part of our
psychological make-up: If you
don't like getting your friends in
trouble, feeling unappreciated, or
being viewed as an anti-Christ, then
you can't be an RA
or
UC. For-
tunately for me, I love stuff like
that.
For
example, if I tell a student
on opening day that I'm a UC and,
lucky them, he's my neighbor,
there's the inevitable, "Oh no, my
life is ruined!" What a feeling of
satisfaction.
I absolutely love doing rounds,
writing people up and getting them
in trouble. Most of the time I dress
om camouflage and carry hi-tech
sound sensing equipment so I can
nail people who are being quiet
while consuming their alcohol; they
aren't bothering anyone or presen-
ting any problem, but I can still
bust in there and jeopardize their
housing.·
Another enjoyable aspect of the
job is programming. It's a good
feeling to plan and work on a pro-
gram for two or three weeks, put-
ting together
something
the
students will enjoy, and then have
nobody show up for it. I try to do
this in my academic life, too. I
often spend hours researching a
writing a brilliant paper that either
wasn't assigned in class, or is for
a class that I'm not even enrolled
in, then throw it in the trash for the
enjoyment
of some literary
garbage-picker. Quite a feeling of
success.
What was that? Did you realize
that RAs and UCs are students just
like you? That's too bad, because
I
really love when students
·think
that all I'm doing walking across
campus and through academic
buildings is looking for them so I
can listen to their maintenance
problems.
I'd rather miss a class anc\ take
care of a leaky faucet than have a
student try to endure one more
hour with his apartment is such
disrepair. Hey, if it's convenient
for the student, I don't care if it
takes me 17 years to graduate
because of missed classes; I could
be a UC forever.

Founder of the Marist Brothers I
The same old debate
recalled in 200th anniversary
but in a new setting
by Cornelius Russell
The banner that is hanging in
The Library is a reminder that the
Marist Brothers are celebrating
worldwide the bicentennial of the
birth of their founder, Blessed
Marcellin Champagnat.
Marcellin Champagnat was born
near Lyons, France, on May 20,
1789; he was the second xoungest
of 10 children. As a young boy,
Marcellin preferred manual work
to things academic and so grew up
as a peasant, learning to farm and
build. Among his peers he did not
stand out as an exceptionally
religious.person.
.
,
.
.
It.came
as
,i'great surprise to his
father and brothers when; at the
age of 15, and hardly able to read,
he decided to enter the priesthood.
Marcellin had his troubles with
school. The initial years in the
seminary were difficult ones for
him but he was determined to suc-
ceed.
"I
know that God wants me
to be a priest,"
he said.
"Therefore, I shall succeed." It
was this conviction that carried
Marcellin through the hard times.
By late 1813, Marcellin had
transferred to the Major Seminary
at Lyons. There, his vocation to the
priesthood grew on solid ground.
With a group of seminarians,
Marcellin planned the organization
of a society devoted to parish mis-
sion work and to the Christian
education of youth. They placed
this society under the special pro-
tection of the Mother of God and
gave it the name of the Society of
Mary, now known as the Marist
Fathers.
Marcellin's
dream was to
organize a special group of
Brothers, whose main work would
be the Christian education of
youth. He declared himself several
times that it was the difficulties he
such a situation. On Jan. 2, 1817,
he chose two young men, taught
them to read and to catechize; these
men became the first Marist
Brothers.
As their numbers increased from
day to day, Marcellin, together
with them, constructed a larger
house in a retired spot called the
Hermitage, gave them a rule, and
bound them by God by a promise
of fidelity.

Editor:
I'd really like to know whom the
administration is trying to kid with
this Alcohol Awareness Week
slogan of "Party Smart."
Marist is largely a dry campus,
with the possession of alcohol
resulting in a written reprimand
and a fine. The college has been
working with the local ~lice in
busting off-campus parttes. It
seems to me that college officials
don't want us to party smart; they
would rather we not party at all.

running around trying to bust peo-
ple - honestly, they get their kicks
off of it - and with students try- •
ing to hide their alcohol, suc-
ceeding most of the time, I'd like
to offer an alternative.
Since drinking is going to occur
anyway, why not control it instead
of banning it? Campus-sanctioned
parties could control the amount of
alcohol consumed, eliminate the
possibility of students driving back
to campus from a
party
drunk, and
also eliminate the complaints many
residentsgive to the college over
noisy off-campus parties.
All this is not to say that I don't
believe in partying smart. I just
think it is hypocritical to say it and
not let us party at all. People come
to college to party as well as to
study. The administration can't
stop students from drinking, no
matter what it does. The forbidden
fruit is, after all, the sweetest.

With a passport in hand and my
life stuffed into three pieces of lug-
gage, last week and an airplane
plopped me into a foreign city that
will be my home for one year -
Dublin, Ireland.
I hadn't even left the airport
when the culture shock hit me. I
had to find my own way to Trinity
College. After asking directions, I
realized that although the words
spoke here are English, the
language is foreign. Phrases are
different,. and intonations
in
sentences seem completely opposite
from_ American English.
Double-decker buses are the ma-
jor means
of
public transportation
in Dublin and make travelling with
baggage difficult. It was so obvious
to two Irish girls I didn't know
where I was going that they shared
a taxi with me and pointed
me
in
the right direction.
Trinity College stands in the
heart of bustling Dublin; its cob-
blestone squares, stately gray-brick
buildings and green lawns form one
of the oldest universities in Western
Europe.
Thirty or forty tables lined the
College Park this week, beckoning
new students to join clubs and
societies
historical,
philosophical,
academic
and
political (including Marxist and
socialist).
Some societies offered free pints
of Guinness beer, hot Irish whiskey
or shots of Bailey's Irish Cream
just for joining. They're either
smart or desperate.
Newcomers to the college roam-
ed around campus looking at each
department's list of timetables for
class scheduling - quite a different
system than at most American col-
leges. Students can take a few days
to attend classes and decide
whether or not to enroll. The at-
mosphere is much more laid-back.
But among the typical havoc of
students moving into city flats, pro-
blems with limited campus housing
and the confusion of registration,
the college has suddenly become
the source of a controversy hitting

Editor:
The good news was that a small
group of Marist faculty and staff
had been invited to judge a color-
ful and creative horde of costum-
ed students who invaded the din-
ing hall last Friday evening. The
bad news was that we had to make
hard decisions when everyone
deserved a prize.
The dining hall was decorated
v.ith pumpkins and ghosts, and out
in the courtyard the eerie shadow
of a giant v.itch loomed over the
whole company. And what a com-
pany it was!

The High Court of Ireland
recently handed down an iniunc-
tion against tnc 'Tr'mit)' Co\\cgc
Students' Union that prohibits the
distribution of information about
abortion contained in its 1989
Guide for First-Year Students.
Abortion in Ireland is illegal. In
1983, The Society for the Protec-
tion of the Unborn Child, SPUC,
succeeded in getting Ireland to
amend its constitution. The eighth
amendment
says, "The state
acknowledges the right to life of the
unborn and with due regard to the
equal right to life of the mother.''
The Trinity College Students'
Union, part of the larger Union of
Students in Ireland, provides infor-
mation on AIDS and other
sexually-transmitted diseases, rape
and substance abuse, as well as
academic advice. Some of the in-
formation included locations of
clinics in England, where abortion
is legal.
The chatter and conversation in
the two on-campus pubs surround
the abortion issue.
I walk to my first class now

read, "Protect Women's Right to

"SPUC OFF."

best feature is its students, not its
new buildings," said Bastian.
The conscience of rock
continues to roll forward
Once upon a time, in a land
much like the one we live in today,
rock and roll was considered a
form of social protest.
Some would argue that
in
to-
day's climate, where greed is good
and the dollar is god, musicians
have sold out.
If
protest is currently
the fashion, then wise bands will
spout out some vague statements of
a generic rebellion.
These critics say that the anists
care little for the flag they're wav-
ing and more for the "units" they
can sell.
(I
love it when they call
records "units.")
I don't deny the validity behind
these criticisms, but I think they
tend to ignore the bigger picture.
I firmly believe that true protest is
alive and well in rock today.
Then who is carrying the torch?
Please don't say U2, although they
might seem like an obvious choice.
They came closest to genuine
rebellion on I983's "War" album.
After that they shifted more
•
towards the generic rebellion, rein-
forcing the popular sentiments of
the day.
The musicians writing the most
intelligent social criticisms today
aren't usually the ones selling the
most units. (A strange coincidence?

) But there are singers out
there that beg to be heard.
Billy Bragg is one of them. His
protests range from the obvious
("Help
Save the Youth of
America")
to
the
obscure
("Waiting for the Great leap For-
ward"). He's not a great guitar
player and his voice can be jarring
to the virgin ear, but his lyrics are
keenly in touch with the plight of
the'working man and the many ills
of society- England's, America's,
and the world's.

tempering his venomous words

music a little more accessible to the
average listener.
And I think he can be credited
with coining the term "Statue of

on its poor huddled masses. The
entire album is full of vivid tales of
today's warped society. I only wish
Lou would lighten up occasional-
ly. He's depressing, but he's telling
it like it is.
I recently read
an
article that
cited rap music as being the only
true protest around in music today.
When you take away the juvenile
boasts of L.L. Cool J, the comedy
of DJ Jazzy Jeff, and the junior
high antics of the Beastie Boys, rap
can be seen as a social force. Per-
formers like Public Enemy,
N.W.A. and Ice-T cenainly have
strong opinions on society, racism
and abuse of power.
But occasionally the anger seems
too misdirected, as in N.W.A.'s
song
"F--
Tha Police.'' That's a
little too radical and more than a
bit obvious. Although subtlety
might be more effective, no one
can deny the sheer force of such a
song.

Dancing, singing· and a lot. of.

main activities for more than 180
seniors last Friday night.
The 21 Society held their first on-
campus alcoholic event in the the
New Dining Room in Campus
Center, bringing students from
both on and off campus together.
"It's not very often that we get
to see people from our class and,
this is the perfect opportunity,"
said Meg Brandon, an on-campus
senior.
•
Although it took over a month
for the 21 Society to get off the
ground, there will be at least one
activity a month for the remainder
of the year except for November
when two events will be held.
"We're going to try and have
themes to make it interesting so it
won't lose its novelty," said staff
manager, Jackie O'Brien.
In the future, faculty will be in-
vited to attend the 21 Society which
will give students the opportunity
to see professors outside the
classroom.
"I
hope faculty members come
because it will better relations bet-
ween the students and faculty,"
said senior Kevin Dwyer.
"The administration recognizes
that there are 21-year-olds at
Marist,'' said senior Kathryn Fran-
cis Valentine "F.W." Begin.
The bartenders, who work for
Seiler's, were responsible for serv-
ing the beer and there was a Town

"It's a little too much to take on,
but the school is keeping the
students on campus and off the

·Jay
Stricker, assistant
director and catering manager of
Seiler's."
•
"l
think it's phenomenal that we
have alcohol on campus and there's
no reason that this type of event
can't be held on a regular basis,"
said off-campus
senior Wes
Zahnke. "If Marist has more
events like this, they would
eliminate a lot of the trouble that
is caused off campus."
Even though most students were
enjoying the evening, there were
some who weren't as satisfied.
Some of the complaints includ-
ed waiting on line to purchase beer
tickets, expensive beer prices and
no musical variety.
"I
think we should have specials
and a happy hour from 3 to 7 p.m.
·so
everyone can hang out," said
senior Sue Weisser.
Eventually, the 21 Society will be
moved to the cafeteria and maybe
get bands, said Jeff Ferony, presi-
dent of the 21 Society.
Most of the money is donated to
campus ministry, but hopefully
some of the money will go back to
the Marist students, said Ferony.

Foxes remain optimistic
despite being the hunted
by Mike O'Farrell
When the regular season opens
on November 25 against Mt. St.
Vincent, it will be the first time in
two years that the Marist men's
basketball team does not have a
burden hanging on its shoulders.
As the final buzzer sounded a
year ago, the two-year postseason
tournament ban imposed by the
NCAA was lifted.
The program has survived and
the Red Foxes are ready to play.
Head coach Dave Magarity said
it was a tough road, but the Red
Foxes are ready.
"No one can understand what
we went through," he said. "We
lived through it, though, and now
it is behind us and we are excited
and ready to go."
Last year, Magarity's Red Foxes
finished with a 13-15 record while
posting a 9-7 mark in Northeast
Confrence play.
But gone from last year are
Miroslav Pecarski and John Ki-
jonek who combined averaged
35
points and
14
rebounds a contest.
Also gone from last year is Reg-
gie Chambers. Averaging just
under 8 points a game, the
freshman point guard added spark
to
the
offense.
However,
Chambers withdrew from school
earlier in the year for personal
reasons.
According
to
Magarity,
Chambers does plan to come back
..
to Marist.

ed with the team's injury situation

season -

Yet, the team and its coaches

Marist basketball bas come to be known for
its
foreign connection.
Miro Pearski, who graduated last year, was one of the many the Red
Foxes have seen.
by Chris Shea
There are not too many college
basketball teams that, while on the
road, have had to face chants of
"U-S-A, U-S-A" from comedic
crowds during their pre-game
introductions.
Marist has.
The reason why opposing
crowds tend to become na-
tionalistic concerning Marist is due
to the number of foreign players on
the Red Fox roster.
Last
year, for instance, Marist
regularly started a lineup that was
60 percent foreign-born.
One factor that contributes to
the reason Marist lands the foreign
recruits is the willingness on the
part
of the coaching staff to put in
the time and effon to search for the
talent that is often overlooked by
other programs.
"People don't realize how well-
known Marist is overseas, especial-
ly Holland," said head coach Dave
Magarity.
When Magarity went to the
Netherlands last spring to recruit
Wilbert
Den
Ouden - who is now
a freshman - he said he was over-

because I was always answering questions and

whelmed by the magnitude of the
interest people had in Marist.
"It was difficult to concentrate
on recruiting because I was always
answering questions and even sign-
ing autographs," he said. "It was
a nice feeling though. Obviously,
the
success
of Rik (Smits) had a lot
to do with it."
Smits, who now plays with the
Indiana Pacers in the NBA, seems
to have become the symbol of
Marist basketball and the pinnacle
of overseas recruiting.
Ending his Marist career in 1988
as the all-time leader in numerous
categories, Smits was the second
player drafted overall -
behind
Danny Manning -
in the 1988
NBA draft.
Smits was followed to Marist by
Frenchman Rudy Bougarel and
Yugoslavian Miroslav Pecarski,
both of whom were able to eff
ec-
tively produce for Marist.

The impact may be a bit harder
this year, though.
Two years ago, head coach Dave
Magarity Jost guard Drafton Davis
and center Rik Smits to the cap and
gown.
Smits, who is now playing for
the Indiana Pacers, was the second
player chosen in the 1988 National
Basketball Association draft -
behind Danny Manning.
Gone from last year are center
Miroslav Pecarski and forward
John Kijonek -
both of whom
were standouts who will be missed
by this year's club.
Pecarski averaged 19 points and
nine rebounds per game while Ki-
jonek averaged 15 points and
5
re-
bounds per game. Kijonek also
became a 1,000-point scorer in his
last game for Marist.
Realizing his returning strength
was in the back court, Magarity
and his staff brought in four big
men to help fill the void left by
Pecarski and Kijonek.
But not without complications.
Rod Henderson, Paul Fauber,
Sedric Veazey and Wilbert Den
Ouden were all brought to Marist
by Magarity and his coaching staff.
Both Veazey and Den Ouden,
however, are ineligible to play for
the Red Foxes this year and while
both players concentrate ·_on·
academics this yeart!vfagaritY.f~i~
he feels that they "are two real key
figures in our future."
Meanwhile, Henderson is out
nursing an injury.
Veazey, a 6-foot-8-inch forward
from Bridgeport, Conn., played
for Notre Dame High School where
he averaged 18 points, 15 rebounds
and six blocked shots per game. He
also led his team to the semifinal
round of the state tournament.
Veazey was a preseason
McDonald's All-American prior to
last year as well as a preseason
honorable mention All-American
by Street & Smith's Basketball
Yearbook.
Magarity said he
is
excited about
Veazey and is anxious to have him
ready for next season.
Den Ouden, being from the
Netherlands, is already being com-
pared to Smits even though he has
not played a single game.
At 7 feet
I
inch, it is an obvious
physical comparison, according to
Magarity.
"There are a lot of similarities,"
he said. "But it is unfair to com-
pare him with Rik."
Although he has not played a
great deal of organized basketball,
Den Ouden averaged 12 points, 11
rebounds and four blocked shots
per game in the Dutch Junior Club
League.
"I
am impressed with his desire
and aggressiveness," he said. "He
is also not afraid to get physical."
Although Veazey and Den
Ouden will not play until next
season, Paul Fauber and Rod
Henderson are expected to make
major contributions this year for
the Red Foxes.
Fauber, who also hails from
Holland, will be expected to help
out the untested front court of
Marist.
A 6-foot-9-inch sophomore,
Fauber was discovered almost by
accident, Magarity said.
"I saw Paul while watching
another game and I liked what I
saw," he said. "Paul has good
skills and is a mature player. We
look for him to make major con-
tributions for us this year."
Henderson was discovered on
the junior college level by Magari-
ty and his staff.
The 6-foot-5-inch junior from
Sanford, Fla., was a standout at
Pensacola Junior College following
his high school career.
Last season, while averaging 14
points, five rebounds and three
assists per game, Henderson led his
team to a 27-6 record and a con-
frence championship.
"Rod can score inside and out,
and he has a real feel for the
game," Magarity said. "He can
also shoot the 3-point shot and he
will help us become a better team."
However, due to a broken bone
in his hand, Henderson will be out
for three to four weeks. Henderson
broke the bone during a preseason
practice.
Despite losing Veazey and Den
Ouden for a season, Magarity said
he is excited about Henderson and
Fauber. "Both are solid and will
.help us out this year," he said.

by Mike O'Farrell
Would you buy a car if you knew that you could not drive it?
Would you play Division I basketball if you knew that at-some point
in your career you would not be eligible for post-season play?
The answer to the first question is most likely "no." However, the
second question was answered "yes" by seven Marist College athletes.
For the past two seasons, the Marist men's basketball team has been
ineligible for post-season tournaments due to sanctions handed down by
the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
When the final buzzer sounded last season against Loyola of Macyland,
though, a heavy burden was lifted off of the Marist program.
Head coach Dave Magarity, who inherited the problem, said it was
a rough road to recovery.
"No one can understand what we went through," he said. "It was
a difficult time for the program, but we survived and we are ready to
make a run this year."
Seven players decided they wanted to play basketball at Marist Col-
lege, even though the program was on probation.
Steve Paterno, George Siegrist, Bobby Reasbeck, Reggie Gaut, Andy
Lake, Tom Fitzsimons and John Slattery were all signed· by Magarity
and his staff.
Paterno, Siegrist, Reasbeck and Gaut suffered through two years of
probation while Lake, Fitzsimons and Slattery only had to play one year
under NCAA sanctions.
Paterno, who averaged 10.5 points per game last season as a
sophomore, said the fact that Marist was on probation had no real ef-
fect on his decision.
"Coming out of high school, I just wanted to play everyday," he said.
"At Marist I could do that - the probation really didn't bother me."
Paterno did note that it feels good to be free from the ban.
"The seniors are working real hard, as is everyone else, because we
want to surprise people," he said. "We are looking forward to our chance
at the tournament."
When asked how he initially felt about the probation, Reasbeck said,
"I
felt robbed. Coming here
I
thought about going to the tournament.
However, we then had to set different goals and work real hard. I have
no regrets, I gave my word to play."
"The tournament is all I've been thinking about," he said.
"I
want
us to be competitive and I want the school to be recognized."
Fitzsimons, a sophomore, only had to suffer through one year of
probation.
"I
have no regrets about coming to Marist whatsoever," said the
6-foot-9-inch forward.
"I
love the school and I love the coaching staff.
The probation never really entered my mind."
•
Fitzsimons also agreed that the team is excited about its new beginning.
"We really want the -tournament - we want to surprise everyone,"
he said.
Marist has lived through a tough time and now a burden has been
removed and the program is ready to move on and become successful
in postseason play.
"We survived the probation and now we want to move on to the
future," Magarity said.

10- THE CIRCLE-
November 2,
1989
Lady
Foxes set
to hound
with quick 'O'
by Chris Shea
Ken Babineau is optimistic.
The fourth-year coach of the
women's basketball team said he
sees the 1989-90 season as having
a bright horizon, following last
year's 13-15 finish but including an
impressive 11-5 in the Northeast
conference.
This is in contrast to the fact that
the team won just 16 games in the
previous two years ~ombined.
"I
think we're one of the top two
teams
in the conference,"
Babineau said. "We have an
outstanding chance to win 20
games."
•
Babineau said this is a goal
which he sees as realistic, and
which the team will work hard to
achieve.
"Our players are looking at this
year as being a big challange," he
said.
The key to the
J
989-90 season,
and the reason why Babineau is so
excited, is depth.
Marist will return eight players
from last year's team - including
four starters.
"The last three years we've only
been able to go eight or nine players
deep," he said. "This year we have
13 players and all of them can
play."
As a result of this depth,
Babineau has a lot of freedom in
formulating a game plan.
"Each player on this team has
strengths
and
weaknesses "
Babineau said. "We now have the
luxury of mixing and matching
combinations of players to suit the
game. We can go with a big lineup
or a small, quick lineup."
With so many capable players,
one would think it would be dif-
ficult to integrate playing time for
everyone.
However, Babineau has a plan.
"We plan on putting in a new
system which is really up-tempo,"
he
said.
"We're going to have rapid
substitutions, a lot of running fast
breaks, and pressing on defense.
"We're going to send wave after
wave of players and just wear down
our opponents."
. Returning to the Red Fox lineup
1s
first-team all-conference point
guard Maureen Dowe.
Last year, as a junior, Dowe
averaged more than six points and
three rebounds per game. She also
finished second in the league in
assists.
Dowe will play an important part
in the Red Fox game plan. She,
along with sophomore transfer
Claudia "Woody" Butler will dic-
tate the pace of the "up-tempo"
offense.
Although Dowe is slated to start,
Babineau says she and Butler will
see equal playing time.
"I'm
very impressed with
Woody," Babineau said. "She's
going to push Maureen for the star-
ting spot."
Also returning to the Red Foxes'
lineup are forwards
Monica
O'Halloran
and
Danielle
Galarneau.
O'Halloran,
a 5-foot-8-inch
junior, led Marist in points, field-
goal percentage, free-throw percen-
tage and steals - good enough to
be
named
second
team
all-conference.
For the past two years,
Galarneau, a junior, has been play-
ing center -
out of her natural
position. As a result she has been
unable to play up to her potential.
This year Galarneau is being
shifted to power forward and
Babineau said he thinks she will
explode.
"I
think Danielle is going to have
a fantastic year," he said. "She's
our best low-pose scorer, and this
year she'll have smaller people
defending her. "
To present further proof of how
deep and talented this year's Red
Fox team is -
there is Nancy
Holbrook.
Last year Holbrook finished se-
cond on the team in points - with
12.7
per game -
and was named
second team all-conference -
despite starting just 11 games,
This year, however, Holbrook
faces serious competition to earn
even the starting spot at shooting
guard.
Mary O'Brien and Jennifer
O'NeH are, according to Babineau,
"our purest shooters."
Both are coming off major knee
troubles, but
so
far have respond-
ed well in the preseason.
Having a healthy O'Brien and
O'Neil would be a big boost for
Marist.
O'Brien is Marist's most ac-
curate three-point shooter, and
over the final five games last year
she averaged 10.3 points a game.
O'Neil missed all of last year
with an injury, so, in her final year
at Marist, she hopes to revert back
to her freshman form when she
averaged 15.4 points a game.
Also complicating the shooting
guard picture is senior Laura
Trevisani. Trevisani is a three-time
letter winner who knows the Marist
system, and will ultimately see
playing time.
Whoever ends up at the shooting
guard position, one thing is certain,
they'll put up three-point shots by
the truckload.
Last year Marist led the con-

ference in three point attempts, arid
this year, according to Babineau,
"you'll see more-'...'.
However, Babineau insists
.the
shot is just one weapon in his
arsenal.
"We won't live and die with it,"
,
he says.
Kim Smith-Bey is also set to
return tor her senior year.
Smith-Bey, at 5-foot-9-inches, is
the team's most tenacious re-
bounder and best defensive for-
ward. She is often assigned the job.
of guarding the opposition's best
scorer.
.
Although she isn't slated to start,
she will see a great deal of playing
time. Babineau has her set as the
backup for both forward positions:
•
The one starting spot that will
not be filled by a returning starter
is that of center.
That job belongs to Ruth Halley,
a 6-foot-3-itlch
junior
from
Ireland.
At the beginning of training
camp, the position was supposed to
be a battle
•
between Halley and
freshman Lisa Chmielewski.
However, Halley improved so
much, she now appears to have
earned the nod ..
Halley has been a standout
defensively, but now she has work-
ed extremely hard to develop her
offensive game, Babineau said.
Alon~ with Chmielewski, two
other freshmen are expected to
contribute to this year's squad.
Charlene Fields and Jennifer
Staton are both considered excep-
tional athletes.
• Fields averaged 23 points in her
senior year of high school and is ex-
pected to play the shooting guard
and small forward positions.
Staton is an extremely versatile
athlete who played at each of the
five positions during her high
school career. Babineau is expected
•
to use her in the shooting guard
role.
"I
really believe we are going to
have a successful year," Babineau
said.
"I
hope the fans come out,
support us, and realize how hard
these girls have worked.
I
guarantee we are going to play an
extremely exciting brand of basket-
ball."
Freshmen give strength to solid team
by
Chris Shea
"I
think this is one of the best recruiting
classes we've ever had," said Ken Babineau,
Marist women's basketball coach.
This statement basically sums up just how
good he believes the· women's 1989-90
recruits are.
The four new faces - three freshmen and
a sophomore transfer - will join an already
talented nucleus of players.
This combination of the new with the old
is what Babineau hopes will bring Marist a
conference title.
Here are some outlines of the new faces
that will be seen on the court this year for
the Lady Red Foxes:
Oaudia Butler -
She is
a
S-foot-6-inch
guard who transfered to Marist from Boston
University but due to NCAA regulations she
was forced to sit out all of last season. She
was a three-year captain and all-conference
player at Rensselaer
(N.Y.)
High School and
also holds her high school's record for most
points in a game with 44. According to
Babineau, she will see a lot of playing time
this year.
Lisa Chmielewski -
As a 6-foot-4-inch
center from St. Catherine Academy in the
Bronx, she is the tallest player ever to come
to Marist. She averaged 24.2 points and 16.1
rebounds in her senior year, and will see a
good deal of pla~
time at back-up center.
Charlene Fields -
A S-foot-9-inch
guard/forward from Notre Dame Gibbons
High School in Schenectady, N. Y. where she
was the all-time leading scorer. Fields was
named ~rrst-team all-conference in her junior
and senior years and she will see most of her
playing time in the shooting guard and small
forward positions.
Jennifer Staton - A 6-foot forward from
Eastlake High in Ohio. She was the teams
MVP
t"!"ice
as she averaged 12.5 points and
5.3 ass1Sts per game in senior year. Those
stats qualified her for an honorable mention
alJ..state
award.
She is definitely a candidate
for
a
starting position in the future.

AIDS ___________

and
Peddle~},

Four years ago, Vassar College
established an AIDS Task Force
whose focus • has shifted from
educating
the community to
counseling students whose behavior
- through homosexuality or multi-
ple sex partners - has put them at
a higher risk, according.to Irvine.
At Marist,
some
information is
discreetly available. Students can
find brochures and posters explain-
ing the AIDS threat in the Office
of Health Services in the Byrne
Residence. Student affairs person-
nel watched the video, "AIDS:
Changing the Rules,"
which
students may borrow.
And about 40 of Marist's 3,500
students attended two low-key
AIDS information workshops that
were offered on campus this
semester.
"The more we (Marist) can do
to get AIDS information out, the
better,"
said Jane O'Brien,
Marist's director of Health Ser-
vices. "Students don't think this is
an issue - they're at an age where
they seem to think they are in-
vulnerable to certain problems.
AIDS is one of them."
A Mattress Campus?
Mattress Marist, that's what
West Point cadets have affec-
tionately dubbed the. college.
Indeed, O'Brien says every week
she sees one to three cases of
sexually-transmitted diseases.
Students, too, agree the label is
not off the mark.
In random conversations with
students last week, men said many
women don't respect the commit-
ment that accompanies sexual
relations.
One Marist freshman, who ask-
ed not to be identified, said he
found his girlfriend in bed with
another guy last week.
"A girl can sleep with one guy
at 8 p.m. and a few hours later
she's hanging out with the kid's
friend," he said. "Girls are no
challenge
here.
Sex is not
something they cherish."
One in six teen-age girls had four
or more sex partners during her
teen years, according to the Train-
ing Center for Health Professionals
in New York City.
At least part of the cause of pro-
miscuity is a double standard men
practice when it· comes to sexual
relations, women said.
"Guys talk about us ifwe won't
sleep with them and they talk about
,us
if we do," said Trisha Coffee,
a sophomore from Long Island.
"Either way, we're trapped."
Coffee said she wouldn't be sur-
prised if students had 10 sex part-
ners during their four years at
Marist.
But O'Brien said Marist students
are not more sexually active than
•
other college students.
Nationwide, 80 percent of males
and 70 percent of females are sex-
ually active by age 20, according to
the Center for Population Options.
"I'm not here to tell students to
be sexually active or not," O'Brien
said. "I'm here to tell them to have
responsibility -
to take
•
the
necessary precautions. Right now,
the only thing that we have to
guard against AIDS (for sexually
active students) is a condom."
'Condom Sense'
Pulling out a condom during her
presentation in the Fireside Lounge
three weeks ago, Gerri Pozzi-
Galuzzi, an ARCS volunteer and
instructor of the AIDS education
course at Dutchess Community
College, urged students to practice
safe sex.
"Condoms should be available
in a fishbowl in Health Services,"
she said. "There should also be
condoms available in every man's
room and in every woman's room.
Having sex with a condom is
magnificent."
Calling her philosophy "condom
sense," she asked if condoms
should be available on campus.
The 25 people present, including
O'Brien, raised their. hands in
agreement.

Alcohol
Awareness
Week.

When SUNY New Paltz install-
ed condom vending machines near-
ly two years ago, students express-
ed interest in a similar system at
Marist.
However, Peter Amato, assistant
dean of student affairs, said the
college should not provide con-
doms but rather a broader educa-
tion of human sexuality.
Amato said he and Brother
Joseph Belanger, in a conversation
last spring, discussed the possibili-
ty of a college-wide
convocation on
human sexuality. No further plans
were made, he said.
Belanger, a French professor,
said although
Marist
needs
"massive AIDS education," con-
doms aren't the solution.
"Condoms aren't the answer -
they decrease the risk of AIDS but
they're not going to solve your pro-
blems," Belanger said. "Believe
that you can say no."
Amato said if students don't abs-
tain from sexual activity and they
want condoms, they
.
should _be
responsible enough to get them off
campus.
"Our students are certainly
capable of getting alcohol when
they want it," he said. "Condoms
are no different. Our students are
not ignorant about the world of
materialism.''
However, contraception isn't the
issue here. While Marist ad-
ministrators
frown upon the
availability of birth control on
campus, for more than three years
a nurse practitioner has been com-
ing to
Marist
to
provide
gynecological services - including
prescriptions for the birth control
pill which does not guard against
AIDS.
On her Monday night visits to
Marist as part of the college health
plan in conjunction with St. Fran-
cis Hospital, Ann Bollmann says
she discusses birth control options
with students who express interest.
"If
you don't believe there's in-
tercourse on this campus, you're
hiding your head in the sand," she
said. "Condoms are the common
sense thing to make available, but
that's an administrative choice. If
it were my choice, I'd probably
have them here."
O'Brien said condoms should be
distributed on campus, but she's
not certain how.
Nationwide, colleges have tried
a variety of approaches.
Dartmouth College students
have taken their AIDS IOI class -
which includes skits on condom use
and condom distribution -
to
other college campuses throughout
the country. And
in
honor of
Halloween a student group at
Lafayette College distributed can-
dy and condoms to all student
mailboxes.
Ultimately,
Mike,
who says he'
probably acquired the disease
through multiple heterosexual part-
ners, said the issue lies in being
responsible.
"You should know how you can
get AIDS and that you can get it,"
he
said.
"Once you have that in-
formation, be responsible.
If
that
means buying a 36-pack of con-
doms, do it."

'Talking'
u/J
a storm
Ed McGarry
It's
a.
little
known
fact
that ...
I should have gone with my in-
itial instincts, plain and simple.
You see, my initial instincts told
me I was crazy to go see a movie
that starred Kirstie Alley, the voice
of Bruce Willis, and some guy
claiming to be· John Travolta. The
real John Travolta passed away
after "Grease," didn't he?
Well, my initial_ instincts were
right.
But you see, the previews actual-
ly looked fairly promising, so I
said, "What the heck, I'll give it a.
shot."
•
The movie I am.speaking of -
for those of you who have been
watching
WTZA
for too long --- is
"Loo·k Who's Talking" starring
those screen
·legends.
I mentioned
abo·ve
·and
a 'number of cute
-little -
babies.
.
The worst part of this movie is.
that it is a good, semi-original idea
that simply wasn't done well.

Travolta becomes attached to the

accepts and the rest of the movie
is spent with Travolta trying to con~
vince Alley that he would be a good
father for the baby.
We never truly find out whether
or not they actually get married but
the viewer is left with a pretty good
idea. I guess
you can say
that the
movie·ends with a sequel in mind.
You know, something like "Look
Who's Taking Again" or "Look
Who's Still Talking."
So much for the plot,
The babies in

sidering how hard it is to get babies
to do what you want them to. In
fact much of the film includes
scenes that were not written but the
babies did something unexpected
and the director liked it so it.was
included.
Believe
it
or not, though, the
cast
wasn't too bad. Even Alley.was
okay.
•
You see, no matter what Alley
does
she
has
two strikes against her

she screwed up '"Ch~ers:"
Therefore. saying she was okay is
probably a bigger compliment than
I really want to give her.
Even more amazing is that the

Travolta the mo\'ie would have

Griffith will meet with coaches
and players sepatately in order to
keep the pressure at the lectures at
a minimum, Marinelli said.
As
far as drug use goes at Marist,
Marinelli said that steroids are not
the big problem.
.
"We have a minimum steroid
problem here," he said. "It pro-
bably leads more toward other
drugs."
Although the lecture is man-
datory for all varsity athletes;
Marinelli said players on club,
teams such as hockey and·
volleyball have been invited.

When turning on the television
to watch college basketball action,
one of the last things many would
expect to see would ;be· a live
telecast of the Marist Red Foxes.
However, through a contract
abridgment made with Colony
Sports, a U.S. Cablevision Net-
work subsidiary, and Kingston-
based television station WTZA, the
Marist Red Foxes will be broadcast
live during prime-time hours for all
13 home games.
"We started working on the
abridgment to the previous con-
tract in the begining of August,"
said Marist Director of Athletics
Gene Doris. "But the idea of go-
ing live had been talked about
before."
Colony's executive producer Bud
Breheney approached Gene Col-
lins,

Evidence of a "permanent and

The letter warns that unless
students submit a list of their

violations,
holding both the
residents
and the landlord
responsible.

received the letters, this action has •

Pierrette Gavigan, a senior who
lives at 145 Washington St., said
her landlord told her and her three
housemates that: one of them may
have to leave.

face the same fate.
A Dean Place resident, who ·ask-•

"It's jokingly called an 'unholy
alliance' considering that they (the
two stations) are competitors,"
Doris said. "But I think everyone
involved is excited about it," said
Doris.
•
•
The Red Foxes had previously
been televised through Colony
Sports on a tape-delay basis.
But according to Doris the tape-
delay broadcasts had its problems.
"One concern over the tape-
delay broadcasts was getting it out
on time," he said. "Sometimes the
games weren't televised until two
days after the game. With the live
broadcasts, the games will air
around 7:55 p.m. closer to tip-
off."
Another problem with the
previous contract was the large
number of homes that did not
recive the Colony Sports Network
broadcasts.
"Colony is not a part
of
Poughkeepsie cable, so a lot of
homes were not being reached,"
Doris said. "With the abridgment
of the WTZA station, we'll be open
to a bigger market and more than
double the number of home
viewers."
Skepticisim over the live telecasts
hurting spectator turn-out was not
a serious concern to Doris or coach
Dave Magarity.
Magarity said that with the live
telecasts reaching more viewers he
believes crowds will increase.
"We have one of the best crowds
in our league," he said. "They're
going to come see us play. Because
it's going to be live adds to the ex-
citement of the game."
they were excited with the prospect
of the coverage Marist College will
be getting through the telecasts.
'.'More coverage will help
Marist, people will start to realize
who you are,'' Doris said.
The Admissions Office said it is
happy about the exposure as well.
"I'm pleased with the idea," said
Harry Wood, director of admis-
sions, noting that the added ex-
posure will reach more people and
help promote Marist in a positive
way.
Colony plans to air a halftime
program called "Marist College
Profile." The segment will focus
on the various aspects of Marist
and the programs the college
offers.
"If the product is good, the
crowds will come," Doris said.

Redmen scalp gridders;
Marist still in losing skid
by Mike O'Farrell
For the third week in a row, the
Marist College football team has
come up empty .
Last Saturday, the Red Foxes
traveled to meet St. John's. The
trip, however, was unsuccessful as
the Redmen handed the Red Foxes
a 34-7 loss.
Two weeks ago, over mid-term
break, the Red Foxes fell to the
Engineers of RPI by a score of
33-10.
RPI had led.· by just ten points
lat_e in the game -
however, two
quick scores put the game out of
reach for Marist in its final home
game of the season.
The Red Foxes also dropped 'a
35-14 contest to Coast ·Guard on
October 14 .
Despite losing three games in a
row, Marist still has a chance to
win the conference championship
because all three defeats were at the
hands of non-confrence foes.
The first step towards the title
comes Saturday when Marist
travels to the nation's capital to
take on Gallaudet University. This
past weekend, Gallaudet downed
Stevens Tech 27-12.
If Marist wins both Saturday and
next Friday night against Brooklyn
College, they will be confrence
champions.
Last week, the high-powered of-
fensive attack of St. John's down-
ed Marist 34-7. The Red Foxes are
now 3-4-1 with just_ the two games
left on the schedule.
•
Marist was hampered by injuries
against .the Redmen -
the entire
starting backfield was out of the
game due to injury, quarterback
Dan O'Donnell missed the game
because of a separated shoulder
and running backs Dan McElduff
and Scott Defalco were also out of
action to nurse injuries.
.
Stepping in for O'Donnell was
freshman Ken Rahn who was mak-
ing his first collegiate start.
Rahn completed 15 of his 39
passes for 209 yards and one
touchdown.
However, he was also in-
tercepted four times by the Redmen
defense.
•
~
"There was pressure on him,"
said Maristcoach Rick Pardy. "He •
will be a really good player - he's
only a freshman."
Averaging 45 points per game,
St. John's is ranked seventh in
Division III.
The Redmen scored first when
Steve Nieves picked off a Rahn
pass and returned it 24 yards for a
touchdown in the first quarter. The
Red Fox defense was tough,
however. St. John's was not able
to gain a first down until the second
quarter.
Quarterback Scott Scesney, who
is being scouted by the pros, hit
Denis McDermott on a 53-yard
touchdown strike at 8:32 of these-
cond quarter -
putting the
Redmen on top 13-0.
Scesney completed 11 of 28
passes for 235 yards and 3
touchdowns on the day. McDer-
mott caught four of those passes
for 145 yards.
St. John's pulled ahead 20-0
when Scesney connected with An-
thony Amalfitano from 15 yards
out.
That was the extent of the scor-
ing in the first half.
The Redmen kept things rolling
in the third quarter. Scesney again
found Amalfitano, this time from
24 yards out to put his team ahead
27-0.
On its very next possession, St.
_John's running back Manny
Tsantes scampered 63 yards on a
draw play to cap the Redmen's
scoring at 34 points. St. John's did
not score in the fourth quarter.
"That was just a great football
team," said Pardy.
The sole Marist score came at
10:51 of the fourth quarter when
Rahn connected with Steven
LoCicer-o
for
an
I I-yard
touchdown strike. Chris Douglas
added the extra point making it
34-7.
The Red Fox defense, which was
in the top
IO
of Division
III
earlier
this season, has now given up over
30 points in each of the last three
games.
Marist athletes required to hear
lecture about drug
awai:eness
With the rash-of drug-related in-
cidents and deaths that have ap-
peared across the nation's sporting
scene in recent times, the Marist
athletic department has decided to
help its own program.
In an effort to promote an
awareness of drugs and their effects
on the body, every Marist varsity
athlete.must attend a lecture being
offered this week on that very
topic ..
Gordon Griffith, a naJionally
reknow~ed speaker on drug issues,
was hired by the departinent _to
deliver his message this week in twc;>
lectures-. one Wednesday and one
·today.
Athletic Trainer Glenn Marinelli
said that the athletes can definite-
ly benefit from a program of this
nature.
"We are trying to bring about an
awareness of what drugs can do to
you," he said.
Griffith has given many lectures
of this type - including one at the
NCAA convention in 1987.
He is involved with the Califor-
nia State Police and is a regular
speaker for the NFL. He has also
spoken at colleges and·universities
such as the University of Nebraska.
and the University, of Colorado.
According to Marinelli, just
because Griffith is coming to_
speak
does not necessarily mean Marist
has a drug problem.
"I don't think we have a drug
problem here," he said. "But we
need the awareness because if we
get into the NCAA (postseason
tournament), everyone gets drug
tested.
"Drug
use here is at a
minimum."
The dynamics of Griffith's lec-
tures often have a lasting effect,
Marinelli said.
"There are times at lectures like
these that he gets five or six people
to· tum tbemselves in," he said.
"~e at least g~ts them thinking."

Goldman said he believes his
team, in realizing the importance of
the LIU game, may have started
looking forward to it too early. As
a result not enough attention was
paid to earlier contests against
Hofstra and Fairfield.
"When we got off the bus we
knew we were better than those

Hey,
Gary
Carter, Keith Her-
nandez, Jim Rice, Lee Mazzilli,
Steve Balboni and Darrell Evens -
the SPBA is calling!
The end of the World Series
us-
ed to mean the end of the national
pastime until spring -
but now
baseball is a year-round sport.
The roster for the West Palm
Beach Tropics, who are the con-
sidered the favorite for the league
title, includes a pitching staff with
such notables
as
Rollie Fingers,
Ray Burris and Tim Stoddard; an
infield with Toby Harrah and Dave
Kingman at the corners; and and
outfield of Lee Lacy, Tito
Lan-
drum and Mickey Rivers.

Lee, the Super Sox sport a roster
This league will fly because the
players and managers in the SPBA
appear to be quite serious about
their undertaking -
and not just
any ex-major leaguer will find a
spot on the roster .
Like the Professional Golfers'
Tour with its Senior To.ur, so
baseball now has its own -
the
Senior Professional
Baseball
Association.
The eight
teams
in the league will
each play a 72-game schedule
which
began
Wednesday night
in
the spring training sites across
Florida. The season runs through
Jan. 31.
There are those who don't think
this league has a chance to get off
the ground - they couldn't be far-
ther from the truth.
Just because the minimum age
for a player in the SPBA is 35 (32
To top it all off, the Tropics are
managed by Dick Williams - the
manager of the Oakland Athletics
the last time they won the Series.
The Tropics are not the only
team with talent, though.
The Gold Coast Suns, for exam-
ple. under the direction of manager
Earl Weaver, present pitchers
Grant Jackson and Louis Tiant -
who have 18 and 19 years of pro
experience, respectively - another
opportunity to play.
The Suns have obtained Bert
Campaneris and Derrel Thomas
for their infield - those two alone
played a combined 34 years of
major-league ball.
And who knows -
the Suns
could also be the vehicle for the
se-
cond coming of Jesus.
Joining 17-year veterans Paul
Blair, Cesar Cedeno and George
Hendrick in the outfield will be
Jesus de la Rosa -
who didn't
quite make it in his only profes-
sional season with the Houston
Astros.
with names quite familiar up north.
Bil_l Campbell,
Ferguson
Jenkins,
John LaRose
Jim
Willoughby and Rick Wise'are all
in Winter Haven to take the mound _
for the Super Sox while Gary
Allenson, Cecil Cooper, Butch
Hobson and Bernie Carbo handle
their respective duties in the field.
. A
glance throughout the league
will
present familiar names from
both last year and 10 years ago and
it seems the league will be good
enough to attract other players
J. R. Richard, who led the Na-
tional League in strikeouts when he
pitched for the Astros, came to the
Orlando Juice's camp saying he
would be the league's best pitcher.
He was cut for weighing more
than 300 pounds.
Who knows - if I start training
now, keep the arm in shape and the
glove oiled ...
