clear the
·stands
at hockey game
by Chris Landry
A Marist student, charged with public lewdness, and two other
teenagers were arrested last Saturday night at a Marist ice hockey game
at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center, causing police to clear the stands·
l:n
a matter of minutes.
.
Upon the request of Civic Center officials, City of Poughkeepsie Police
emptied the stands between the second and third periods of the opening
game between Marist and Wagner College with the score at 4-2. The rest
of the game was played in an empty arena. Marist lost 7-4.
According to a report in Tuesday's Poughkeepsie Journal, Kenneth
O'Connor, 18, a sophomore from Queens, was arrested when he refus-
ed to leave after he was observed with his pants down in front of the
snack bar, said Detective Sgt. Kevin O'Neil, who also serves as a securi-
~
ty guard at the Civic Center when off duty.

...
O'Connor was charged
•
with resisting arrest in addition. to public
lewdness; both are misdemeanors. After O'Connor's arrest, six more
·
police officers were called to the scene when a former Marist student,
Peter Crisafi, 19, of Rutherford, N.J., tried to punch O'Neil.
Crisafi was charged with resisting arrest and obstructing governmen-
tal administration, also misdemeanors. Another teenager, whose identi-
ty was not available at press time, was arrested and charged with disorder-
ly conduct.

Police officials refused to comment when The Circle contacted them

Painter recycles images
as part of 'natural art'
by Kelly Woods
In baggy, paint-splattered p~nts
and a gray canvas army bag slung
over his shoulder, Tom Sarran-
tonio, walked quickly in the cold
drizzle to grab a cup of coffee
before going to his personal
museum.
Hidden down a side street in the
heart of New Paltz, a three-room,
old red barn with no plumbing has
been Sarrantonio's private studio
for two years.
"My studio is like a museum of
•
natural art because I collect a lot
•
of things from the woods like
rocks, sticks and car parts," said
Sarrantonio, visiting assistant pro-
fessor of art, who is both a painter
and a sculptor ..
Because Sarrantonio has a strong
interest in the environment, mak-
ing sculpture out of garbage is his
way of communicating.
and
.
creating a message.
In the upper room of the clut-
tered, musty, cold studio, Sarran-
tonio has a display of 100 coffee
cups, each in indfvidual cubby
holes. Once meaningless pieces of
plastic, are now a work of
art.
Sarrantonio first began using the
coffee cups to clean off his brushes,
but then began painting them black
and gluing on illustrations from a
1959 Boy Scout manual.
Sarrantonio said he wants his
paintings to be aggressive and to af-
fect people's perception of an
object.
"I think they're funny, yet
philosophical and make people
think," said Sarrantonio. "Instead
of making one year's worth of gar-
bage, I recycled it." •
Although creating the unusual
pieces is important to Sarrantonio,
it also acts as a playful release, in
contrast to his more "pretty" land-
scape paintings, which he admitted
can be limiting.
"I'm trying to capture the image
and make the viewer think/' said
Sarrantonio. "My paintings are
obsessive because I focus on one
aspect of landscape and not the
overall atmosphere."
One of Sarrantonio's more re-
cent goals is to do 100 paintings in
the next year since he received a
$10,000 grant from the Pollock
Krasner Foundation this past
Semptember.
The foundation, which
is
located
in New York City, was designed to
help aspiring artists who need ex-
tra financial assistance. Any artist
applying may ask for up to $20,000
to use for rent, art supplies and
medical expenses.
Sarrantonio will now be able to
dedicate himself completely to his
art during winter intersession and
next summer instead of teaching.
He will also have time to arrange
exhibitions.
"Displaying work is important
because art is like a language and
it
can't
communicate if it's locked
up
in
the
studio,"
said
Sarrantonio.

Dr. Ernest Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, spoke to
J_!lculty and students last week about_ the capacity
of
the nation's colleges to effedively serve students.
Tom Sarrantonio
Sarranto.nio had an exhibition
this summer at Mohonk Mountain
House in New Paltz, which includ- •
ed drawings, paintings, coffee cups .
and other objects.
"I try to look for non-
commercial locations because in a
gallery the first question asked is
about the cost and that question
should be secondary because they
are priceless," said Sarrantonio
with a quick burst of laughter.
Although he has sold some pain-
tings, Sarrantonio never counts on
selling any of his works because
painting to sell inhibits thought,
whereas more dedication goes into
paintings he gives away.
"After completing a painting,
it's a sense of release or relief,
almost like purging, because I am
able to unleash visual images," said
Sarrantonio.

Council vote warns
off-campus students
by Holly Gallo
The City of Poughkeepsie's
Common Council passed a resolu-
tion Monday authorizing the Law
Department to institute public
nuisance action against those
residences housing Marist College
students who recently received let-
ters regarding past conduct.
The letters, which were sent to
• individuals in several off-campus
residences, stated that the city has
received complaints on separate oc-
casions of behavior such as loud,
late-night parties, parking pro-
blems and the illegal sale of alcohol
to minors.
According to Steve Giannone,
one of three Marist students who
attended the meeting, many of the
problems outlined in the letter did
not even apply to his house.
"This letter stated many viola-
tions which we aren't responsible
for, but it was in there, and these
letters go to our landlords," he
said.
As a result of the letter, their
landlord is threatening to evict
them, according to Giannone.
Other allegations in the letters
were
garbage
problems, damage
and destruction
to
neighboring
pro-
perties and abusive and threatening
behavior
on
the
part
of
tenants
and
guests.
"We've never had any problems
with any of these," said Ronald
Marchon, 24 Smith St., who also
.
attended the meeting.
Marchon said there was only one
party at his residence early'in the
semester, which was broken up by
the police at 10:50 p.m., ruling out
the charge of late-night parties.
"This letter came based on only
one complaint," Marchon said.
Kieran Fagan, a student residing
on Marilyn Avenue, said he also
received a letter, although there
was only one party at his residence
this semester, which police ap-
• proached but did not break up.
"I
think they're afraid of us,"
Fagan said. "They're trying to
sweep the problem under the rug
and not deal with it, but it doesn't
solve the problem. We have to live
somewhere."
The eight-member
council
•
deliberated in a closed meeting,
prior to making the decision, on
whether to vote that night or to
hold off for two weeks. The coun-
cil voted unanimously to vote that
night.
The proposal, which caine about
as a result of repeated complaints
to the City of Poughkeepsie Police
concerning Marist parties, will not
involve any action unless there are
repeat offenses

Lisa Pagano, the Civic Center's
marketjrig director, toJd The Cir-
cle in a phone interview yesterday
the the decision to clear the stands
was made because·manyofthe400
estimated fans were intoxicated and
more arrests would have been
made.
The arena
·was
emptied··within
minutes, leaving many fans confus-
ed. And Pagano said she regrets
having to penalize the majority of
the fans because of incidents in-
volving a few.
She said authorities were acting
in the interest of safety.
•
But some fans thought the police
and security went overboard.
Those who arrived just after the in~
cidents occured, said the evacua-
tion was not necessary and that of-
ficials acted unprofessionally.
Senior Steve Veccia said one
security gaurd used profaniti~ to
persuade him and a group of his
'
friends to leave.
"The guy who told us to get out
was more than rude," Veccia said.
"They could of handled it in bet-
ter ways."
The incident has forced Civic
Center officials to examine their
security and. alcohol policies,
Pagano said.
Officials will meet today, but are
reluctant to stop beer sales because
they fear students
will
drink more
before games and
try
to sneak beer
containers in the arena, Pagano
said.
Officials would rather continue
selling alcohol and have the option
to stop it, Pagano said. Sales were
stopped in the first period after of-
ficials realized many fans were in-
toxicated, Pagano said.
"We are reluctant to halt sales
ot'
beer becuase
we
are worried they
will
down a six-pack before the
game - that's a bigger problem,"
Pagano said.
Marist section of the stands was
filled to capacity before the evacua-
tion, and Marist head coach Bob
Mattice said playing to an empty
arena did have a negative effect on
his team's play.
"Whenever
anything
like that

New software package to revamp registration

Marist students will be able to walk out

schedule in hand, this fall, since the college
will be implementing a new software package
to do the job.

The administration has installed the part of

is signed also, the student will not have to
return to their adviser and get back on the
end of the line if one of their classes is closed.
Because the program is not fully install-
ed, the computer cannot check pre-requisites
or the priorities students have. Therefore,
classes are filled on a first come, first served
basis, said Kelly.
successive class.
The student's Social Security numbers will
be usedas the new student identification
numbers. They must bring their social securi-
ty cards with them to register, as well as their
current Marist ID.
However, the package, purchased from
Information Associates in Rochester, N. Y.,
will be more complex and time consuming,
said Dr. Jack Kelly, the Student Information
System Task Force chair.
"We're putting in the bare minimum re-
quired at this time - just what we need for
registration," said Kelly. "It will be more
streamlined in the future."
In the meantime, the burden falls on the
students and the faculty advisers. The ad-
ministration has published newsletters for
both groups informing them of the new pro-
cedures and possible problems to expect.
Originally, freshmen were to register first,
but the upperclassmen did not realize that
freshmen would not be competing for the
same classes. To satisfy student concerns, the
administration revised the schedule, said
Kelly.
The courses have been renumbered to
designate whether a course carries Liberal
Arts credit right in the course number.
According to Kelly, various department
heads will be present on the add/drop days
to help in selecting alternate courses.
The previous system was not expected to
last 10 years, and therefore, must be replac-
ed because it cannot print the "0" in 1990.

18-month installation period, but Marist is

"Our biggest concern is the confusion ol

Kelly said.
Ex-Miss Marist:
'I
want
my MTV!'
by Ann
Timmons
Junior Janel Scarborough has
gone from Miss Marist to Miss
MTV.
As the 1987 Miss Marist winner,
Scarborough has traded in her
crown for daily appearances on na-
tional television.
For the past year, Scarborough,
from Freeport,
N. Y.,
has perfom-
ed with some of the most famed
ceiebrities, worn sequined clothes
and danced to the hottest hits on
Club MTV, a daily music segment
on the 24-hour music television sta-
tion, MTV, from 5:00 to 5:30 p.m.
and Saturday 11 a.m. to noon.
Scarborough got her big break
almost by mistake.
.
She said she was coaxed unwill-
ingly by some friends to audition
for Club MTV at Let's Dance, a
.
Poughkeepsie night club. She was
one of the eight amateurs chosen
to compete again at the Palladium
in New York City. She survived
both auditions, being
·one
of the 10
chosen from the 80 dancers at the
Palladium.
"I
think
I
was chosen because
they were searching for a certain
look, because they were trying to
diversify their dancers. And I can
dance," Scarborough said.
Every six weeks Scarborough
travels to the Palladium to tape 15
shows in two days, dancing up to
10 hours each day. "Dancing is no
longer fun - it's work," she said.

to two sessions. The panei discus-
sion will take olace from 10

11 :30 a.m., whfle the mock inter-
views will be from 2:30 to 4:30

Because the conference will be

shows as being a fashion trendset-
ter because
it is broadcast
nationwide.
"Sometimes l forget that people
from as far away as Hawaii,
Canada and England see the show
-
not
just the people next door,"
she said.
For that reason, Scarborough
said she
carefully plans out her out-
fits when she dances. which have
made her somewhat of a celebritv
herseif.
•
She has collected fans from all
over the country,
some
of whom
write her to praise her fashion
style
as well as her dance. She considers
herself a "hip but classy dresser,"
and even conservative compared to
the rest of the dancers. She does
admit that working long hours
under the intense lights makes it
difficult to wear much.
At each taping Scarborough gets
to meet a different music star. So
far she met Paula Abdul, Sheena

It's all about show biz and look-

"Sometimes we have to dance to
the things we hate the most and
look like we love it," she said.
Scarborough said her favorite
performer was Tone-Loe who pull-
ed her onstage during one of the
tapings to dance with him to his
song,
"Wild

after the taping and met again
backstage when Tone-Loe per-

was also chosen to star as one of
the lead dancers in a music video
on MTV by a new group named the
Drum promoting their new song
"The Swirl."

Her real dream is to become a
television newscaster, possibly co-
anchoring the Channel 4 (NBC's
New York Affiliate) evening news
with Chuck Scarborough and Janel
Scarborough. She said she knows
she will have to "pay her dues"
first before making it to the top.

and all these things are just the in-
gredients - but to become a televi-
sion newscaster,"

Campus traffic tieups
may create stricter -
parking regulations
by Maureen Kramer
Marist may eventually be converting to a pedestrian- only campus
to combat increasing traffic and parking problems, according to
Joseph Leary, director of safety and security.
Although there are sufficient parking spaces available on campus
to accomodate all residents and faculty members in the Marist com-
munity, the number of students that choose to commute within the
campus is creating a traffic and parking crunch, Leary said.
"Eventually we may temporarily have to assign everyone to a
specific parking lot - this will be done by having a specific colored
or shaped parking permkfor each lot in order to cut down on
P¥k-
ing and traffic problems," said Leary.
-·
The parking regulations enforced by Security will not hold up under
the current construction of the new parking lots and buildings.
"The price of this progress will ultimately lead to grid lock in cer-
tain areas of campus if new rules are not enforced," said Leary.
Minimal efforts already in progress to combat the parking and traf-
fic problems are meant to benefit the pedestrians as well, Leary said.
"Originally we wanted a pedestian phase put on the lights when
leaving the north end of campus so that there would be a short time
where all of the lights would be red so the students could have a chance
to cross the street," Leary said. "That would adversly affect the traf-
fic. Instead, we settled on the 'No turn on red' sign."
Due to incidents where Marist students walking to or from campus
were struck near that entrance, the enforcement of the sign is crucial
although some students choose to ignore it.
'' At times while I was at_ that end pf campus I have seen students
ignoring the 'No turn on red' sign," Leary.said. "This is a properly
ordained sign issued by the state and it must be adhered to for safety.
The police have been advised about it and will be around here to en-
sure that it is not. being violated," said Leary.
Because the north end of campus leads directly to a high traffic
area, plans to ease the problem are being discussed.
"One idea we have is to have the parking lot directly off Route
9
to cut down the amount of travel through campus to get into a park-
ing lot," said Leary.
Champagnat goes-
high-tech,- mainfrarn~,
computers arrive
by Jennifer C. Johannessen
High-tech has hit Champagnat Hall.
Seventeen mainframe computers were installed last week in the study
halls of the dorm, making it easier for students to do work or com-
municate with friends.
"It's so much easier than going to Donnelly, especially if you want
to check mail and you can work late at night with no one to bother you,''
said sophomore Joe Harrington.
While some residents use the terminals for work, others use them for
recreation. "I basically use it for word processing, but I just recently
discovered how to use the BBS (BuJleti11
Board System)," said Mike
Siciliano, a communication arts major from Valley Stream, N.Y. "It's
-a great way to meet people. l have already met someone and hope to
meet more."
Christine Mulvey, manager of telecommunications at Marist, said
Marist is one of the first schools of its size to run fiber optics to residence
areas.
Mulvey hopes to implement this system in the future for the other
residence areas.

Storyteller gives readers
clean breath off ri!sh air
Some people are just exceptional
story tellers.
•
I am certainly not one of them,
but a man by the name of Garrison
Keillor is.
Keillor is an Anoka, Minnesota
native who was born in 1942 and
graduated from the University of
Minnesota in 1966. For thirteen
years from 1974 to 1987 Keillor was
the host of a live radio show entitl-
ed "A Prairie Home Companion."
During this radio show Keillor
simply told very real life stories
about a fictitious town in Min-
nesota. The town is Lake Wobegon
"the town that time forgot, that the
decades cannot improve."
And this is exactly what makes
Keillor so special.
Keillor can tell everyday, mun-
dane stories like no· one else can.
His way with words turns any com-
mon occurrence into the most
fascinating and funny of tails.
Keillor is not a comedian, mind
you, he is a humorist and there is
a world of difference. Just as fun-
ny, but different. He is a man that
you can listen to with your seven-
year-old daughter and not have to
hurry lier out of-the room.
Besides his immensely popular
• radio show, Keillor has also writ-
ten three books. His first, "Jiap-
py to Be Here" was published in
1982. His second, "Lake Wobegon
Days" was published in 1985. His
most recent book, "Leaving
Home"
was
published in 1987.
As usual with me, l screwed up
the process by reading the last book
first. What is worse is that I bought
the book two summers ago and just
got around to picking it up and
Ed
McGarry
It's
a
little
known
fact
that ...
reading it. It was a mistake to wait
so long.
In "Leaving Home" Keillor tells
thirty-six stories, none longer than.
eleven pages, including one entitl-
ed "A Trip to Grand Rapids." In
this story a mother and .father
leaves their teenage daughters· alone
for the first time.
Half way to their destination
they get uneasy and decide to turn
back. When they get back to their
house they see · many unfamiliar
cars and hear loud music. With the
naive parents not sure what is go-
ing on they park the car and sneak
across a muddy field for a better
vantage point.
Upon a closer look they.see two
kegs of beer on the back porch and
witness one daughter taking and
unusually long puff off of a thin
cigarette that a few friends are
generously sharing.
The· parents start to feel guilty
for spying on their daughters and
decide to go -ahead with the_ trip.
However, the car gets stuck in the
mud and the story ends with the
parents embarrassingly having to
ask a friend of their daughtei:s to
pull the car out of the mud with his
truck.
None of the stories in."Leaving
Home" are much more com-
plicated than this one but it is
Keillor's .ability tell
a
story so
smoothly that makes each story so
mesmerizing.
For a quick taste of what Keillor
has to offer, consider this passage
from "Easter"
in which he
describes how parents panic when
it comes to their children: "Some
children love to scream for the
thrill of making immense people
' move fast. I remember that, on a
quiet day my sister and
I
in the
backyard , wondered, . 'Where's
Mom?' Upstairs, we thought. So I
screamed, 'MOM.' She made it
downstairs in two seconds. A good
pair of wheels for
an
old lady." .
"Leaving Home" is filled with
tales that are just as simple and just
as poignant as this. Keillor recalls
all of your fondest memories
without ever having known you.
Keillor is the perfect author for
leisure reading. His light stories are
not challenging, just entertaining.
In fact, the most challenging part
of reading "Leaving Home" is
having the guts to break the idiotic
Marist stereotype that it is "un-
cool" to do any outside reading.
Listen kiddos I wouldn't suggest it
if I didn't think you could handle
it.
Best of all; Marist students
should really appreciate "Leaving
Home" because the words are not
printed·very small and there are few
words longer than seven letters.
Hell, this a ·perfect follow-up to
"The Little Engine That Could."

question, Mayor Robert Bleakley
said.
"I hope we don't have to ever
file a nuisance
complaint,"
Bleakley said. "It's there, it's a
weapon. If agreements can be
reached, the problem won't exist."
Bleakley, in response to an in-
quiry at the meeting,said a public
nuisance action is "authorizing the
law department, when they deem it
necessary and have the proper
documentation, and nothing else is
working, to pursue .these com-
plaints."
About eight of the Poughkeep-
sie residents who have had pro-
blems in the past were also at the
meeting to give accounts of
disturbances.
Theresa Newkirk of Taylor
A venue said she has trouble sleep-
ing at night.
"I don't mind if it's up till 11
p.m., but they're going in and out
three or four times," she said. "l
think -they're going to get more
beer, or whatever, or. the
girls
come
in or the guys come in. I've been
taking it for about five years."
Tom
O'Neil,
4th Ward alder-
man, said even in the wake of the
passed resolution, students don't
ha\'.e that much to worry about.
"The city has an obligation to
keep the peace," he said.
"If
there
are no more parties or interference,
then you probably have nothing to
fear from the City of Poughkeep-
sie."
Two of the biggest problems bet-
ween off-campus residents and the
city have been student parties and
a housing ordinance which pro-
hibits more than three unrelated
people from living together unless
they can be defined as a functional
family. Off-campus students were
told in letters from the city to show
that they comply with the
ordinance.
To discuss these· issues, several
off-campus students . met last
Thursday, Nov. 2, with Peter
Amato, assistant dean for student
affairs.
Marchon, who helped organize
the meeting, said the group resolv-
ed to have a representative from
each house meet at a later date to
discuss solutions to the oroblems.
"Some students may have caus-
ed a problem in the community;
however, I think we're taking much
more of the responsibility than we
deserve," Marchan said.
"Poughkeepsie.has many more
problems than Marist College
students having parties," he said.
"I think the students are definite-
ly being singled out in the com-
munity.''

Debate team 5 for 5
.after Wisconsin win
by Maureen Kerr
The Marist debate team collected
its fifth championship in as many
tournaments after travelling last
Friday to Oshkosh, Wis., where
more than 100 colleges competed in
one of the biggest debate tour-
naments in the country.
At
the
University of Wisconsin,
Mike Buckley and Anthony Capoz-
zollo emerged undefeated, winning
12 consecutive judges' decisions in
the varsity division. In the junior
varsity division, April Amonica
and Tom Kavan won first and se-
cond speaker, advancing to the
semi-finals where they lost to
Macaelester University from Min-
nesota. Novice teammates, Greg
Maxim and MaryEllen Rozecki,
won on a 4-2 decision in the
preliminaries, but were defeated by
Northern Illinois University for the
championship.
With 102 national points, coach
Jim Springston said Marist has. a
good jump
on this year's
competition.
"We have more points now.than
we've ever had in five weeks," said
Springsto~. Last year Marist finish-
ed 11th in the nation with 123
points.
Each

coaches
throughout the country vote on a

based on five selections

by the National Debate
Committee. This semester, Maiist
is
•
tackling tQe affirmative and
/
negative positions on "Violence is
a justified response to political op-
pression."
One of Marist's key strategies
is
establishing "ideal partnerships" in
each two person team, Springston
said.
"It's important to fit the right
people together. A good team can
trust each other and read the other
P.Crson's mind," he said.
The team's first championship
win this year came at Northern Il-
linois University where Buckley
and Capozzollo defeated Wheaton
College, last year's third place na-
tional winners.
Marist
picked up its second and
third victories in Cleveland, Ohio,
at John Carroll University. In the
novice division, Greg Maxim and
MaryEllen Rozecki conquered
Richmond Virginia for the cham-
• pionship. Buckley and Capozzollo
were also undefeated, beating
~chigan State in the finals.

Student internships allow some
to jump ahead in work world
by
Maureen Kerr
As graduation draws near, the
anxieties and fearful expectations
of frantic job-seeking seniors seem
endless. But some students are
already getting a taste of the "real
world" through the Marist intern-
ship program.
"I wanted to get out of the
classroom and find out what ac-
counting is really about," said Jen-
nifer Matulewich, a senior from
Bethpage,
Long
Island.
Matulewich; an accounting major,
is an intern at. St. Francis Hospital.
"I
realize that everything we
learn in class is a small percentage
of what actually goes on in the
work field," she said. "An intern-
ship helps you to focus on your
career objective, school is so
broad."
.
Rob FJaherty, a senio! from
Woodbury, Ct. said his internship
at IBM has helped him build his
resume. "I wanted an internship
because I couldn't get the job ex~
perience
I needed
in
the
classroom."
Flaherty, a computer science ma-
jor, said his experience has also
developed his programing skills. "I
was a~le to present my program to
the department and they gave me
suggestions and ideas that were
very helpful."
Gail Ziamandanis, assistant
director of field experience, coor-
dinates an average of 120 intern-
ships each year in the local com-
munity. Placements are offered in
a variety of fields including accoun-
ting, business, communication arts,
computer science, fashion design,
paralegal studies, and political
science.
Ziamandanis said that an intern-
ship is important because students
can use their field experience to
determine if they've made the cor-
rect
career
choice
before
graduating.
"An internship gives students a
chance to get their feet wet,,.she
said. "They can find out what
they're interested in and change
their career direction."
Accor.ding to Ziamandanis,
employers are looking for profes-
sional and mature students who are
willing to grow and learn
.
in an
entry-level position.
"Companies call all the time for
students," she said. "The com-
munity is very interested in hiring
Marist interns."
Arianne O'Donnell,
a
senior
from New Canaan, Ct., majoring
in political science, is a paralegal in-
tern at Martin Charwat Esquire, a
bankruptcy
law
firm
in
Poughkeepsie.
"I wanted an internship because
it would help me to gain an
understanding about what I really
wanted to do after graduation,"
said O'Donnell.
While she said she enjoys her in-
ternship and has learned a lot from
working with bankruptcy cases,
O'Donnell said she found some of
the clerical work to be tedious.
"I
decided to pursue an intern-
ship because I wanted to learn
about law, not drafting and
photocopying," she said.·
Kim Calabro, a senior from
Simsbury,
Ct., majoring
in
business and finance, is an intern
at Alex Brown and Sons, a
brokerage firm in Poughkeepsi~ ..
"I do a lot of data entry," said
Calabro. "I've learned a lot about
what goes on in the brokerage
business, but I'm not doing
anything that's making me think."
Ziamandanis said that most
students are happy with their in-
ternships, but students who are not
satisfied should speak to· her or
their faculty advisor.
"I don't want students xeroxing
eight hours a day," she said.
"Students should be open. If I
don't know what's going on, I
can't help."
Matulewich said her internship
has increased her motivation to
succeed.
"I
realize an entry-level
position is kid stuff," she said,
"but when l see the people above
me I can't wait to get there."

Prof hit a few bumps on the way to Marist
by
Janet DiSimone
A nervous 23-year.:.old
walked in-
to a New Paltz fiction class he was
teaching for the first time. When
he put his foot into the garbage
can,
he tripped, hit his head on the
blackboard which swung around
and whacked him in the rear,
knocking him into the other board.
"I
knew at that point
I
would
never have any sense of dignity in
front of any class," recalls 40-year-
old Thomas Goldpaugh, a Marist
English professor.
Goldpaugh's rocky road that led
to Marist four years old took
a
few
turns -
and a lot of detours -
along the way but he says it all has
been
a rewarding experience.
Although
Goldpaugh,
a
Brooklyn native, never thought of
being a teacher while gro~ng up
in New Milford,
N.J.,
reading
was
his passion and teaching
was
a
family affair.
Once Goldpaugh said he C!en
contemplated a religious vocation
but the reality of the overworked
and underpaid job hit home.
"I did, though, consider being_
a
priest but then I realized certam
things,
such as
poverty,
chastity and
obedience, and I thought - wrong
field," Goldpaugh said with a grin.
Then, how did he find the right
one? Goldpaugh's early love of
reading blossomed into a college
major in English.
And college came early for
Goldpaugh. At 17, he arrjved at
SUNY New Paltz. He graduated
with a bachelor's degree in English
in 1972 and earned his master's by
1977.
Through the years, Goldpaugh
taught at St. Cecilia's High School,
Ulster County Community Col-
lege, Orange County Community
College, SUNY New Paltz, New
York University and Eastern Cor-
rectional Prison.
In January,
1980, he left
teaching to start work on his doc-
toral at
NYU,
but
was
suddenly
struck with "writer's block" and
abandoned graduate school.
"It's teuible to feel like you
can't write what you have to. You
just can't seem to get the idea
across clearly," he said ... It had to
be perfect, or else it just wasn't
good enough."
Goldpaugh
went back to
Tom Goldpaugh
teaching but became discouraged
with being an adjunct professor at
three
different
schools
simultaneously. He
questioned
the
purpose
~hind what he was doing.
"I
thought, my God, is this any
way for
an
adult to live his life?"
he said, taking a
long drag from a
Marlboro. "When does the
time
come when
you stop paying your
dues?"
During this period, Goldpaugh
occupied his time with jobs such as
a business writer for a restaurant,
stable cleaner, a waiter and a
"house-husband."
In 1983, Goldpaugh became in-
spired once again and went back to
NYU to work on his doctorate.
After
completing his course load
and his language examinations, he
is
now working
on his dissertation
in critical theory and concentrating
on his job at Marist.
Teaching has its ups and downs,
according
to
Goldpaugh,
but he en-
joys
it
every
minute
of
it.
"Where else are they
going to
pay you to read books
and
talk
about them with intelligent peo-
ple," he exclaims, almost jumping
out of his seat.
In fact,
Goldpaugh, who is
known for
his
high energy and
con-
stant
enthusiasm in
the classroom,
prefers to do most
listening -
rather
than the lecturing.
Goldpaugh said his best day in
a classroom
is
when he walks
in,
asks one question and doesn't get
a word
in until
the end.
.. The most
frustrating kind
of
teaching
is when you're up
there
and the students are containers
which you're just pouring informa-
tion into," he said, clenching his
fist.
.
His energy stems from ner.:
vousness and he admitted there
hasn't been a class he's walked in-
to where he wasn't frightened that
the students already knew all the
information.
"I want my students to be bet-
ter than me," he said. "I want
them to care enough to know their
stuff, master the info so they can
challenge me."
It's the teacher's responsibility to
get the student into a situation
where they want to learn, he said.
Most of good teaching, accor-
ding to Goldpaugh, reflects the
quality of information presented -
not a teacher's style or personality.
Goldpaugh said he taught some
students he'll never forget - three
in particular at Marist.
"You have a student, and you
say to yourself, 'Wow, this one's
going to be someone someday;
they're going to do something, and
you think in some way you're a
part of that,' " he pauses silently.
"It's great; incredible. That's what
it's all about. That's the purpose;
th~t is the reward."

Registration
Marist students had more abstract reading to do this week -
and it wasn't from their philosophy classes.
Stuffed in all the mailboxes were the three-page instructions
for the new registration procedure. In addition, students were to
pick up their course adviser and academic history outside the
Registrar's Office this week.
Next semester's registration process - which implements a new
policy as well as a software change - is an admirable attempt
to eliminate the add/ drop lines that used to snake through Don-
nelly Hall.
Students will be registered according to their class and their last
initial on a first-come, first-served basis. This will enable student-
sto walk out of registration with their final spring schedule.
Although the instant registration process holds great promise,
1
right now the disadJJantages outweigh the benefits.
The old system was merit-based, considering factors such as
credits and grades when assigning priority to registering students.
Now, the burden of determining who gets which class falls to
faculty advisers, who must approve a student's schedule. This job
belongs to the Registrar's Office.
Worse yet, the new system gives priority to students within a
class whose last initial falls within the first 12 letters of the
alphabet. A junior with a lower grade point average and fewer
credits can get first shot for classes among other juniors just
because his last name begins with E instead of
P.
The new process also prohibits freshmen from changing the sec-
tion of their "College Writing
I"
or "Introduction to Philosophy"
courses, thereby forcing students to take instructors they didn't
like.
•
Perhaps The Registrar's Office can solve these problems in the
future, but Marist students and faculty have to deal with them
now due to the the administration's poor planning.
Administrators are speeding up the installation of the new soft-
ware package from
18
months to nine months because the previous
software cannot print the zero in 1990.
This clumsy process should have been prevented. Why didn't
the administration have the foresight to realize this?
Letter policy
The Circle welcomes letters to the editor. All letters must be typed
and signed and must include the writer's phc;me number and address.
The deadline for letters is. noon Monday. Letters should be sent to

Step back and stay clear
of a rising Iron Curtain
.
The answer to the question,
"How do you get half-a-million
communists into one place at one
•
time?" used to be answered by the
.
phrase, "Scream 'free Levi's' in a
public square."
Last week, however, 500,000
East Germans gave
•
a different
answer to that question and no one
is laughing, least of all the East
German government.
The demonstrations for reform
in West Germany are only the latest
events in a long line of political
upheavals in Eastern Europe in the
past few months. Reforms in East
Germany, the Soviet Union,
Poland,
Hungary
and other
Eastern Bloc nations have the
European continent going through
its most dramatic political changes
since World War
I.
But • while the changes are a
reason to celebrate, there are also
reasons to be concerned. Will the
reforms be allowed to continue un-
•
tit Eastern Europe is truly free, or
will there be a Tiananmen Square-
type crackdown if things get too
out of hand? Also, what role, if
any, should the United States play
in the liberalization of Eastern
Europe?
Soviet President Mikhail Gor-
bachev's new policy of openness
has spread across Eastern Europe
like a computer virus, leaving no
nation untouched. Now that he has
let the pit bull out of the cage,
though, how far \\ill he let it go
before he pulls back on the leash?
It
may not be as far as some peo-
ple think: last week, a poll comis-
sioned by Leonid Abalkin, Gor-
bachev's chief economic adviser,
showed that a majority of the
Soviet people do not have much
faith in Gorbachev's reforms.
The lack of public support, add-
Paul O'Sullivan
Thinking
between
the
lines
ed to the opposition he faces within
the Soviet government, may force
Gorbachev to cut
·down
on the
reforms.
Then again, predicting the shifts
of the political winds in Moscow is
like trying to predict earthquakes,
and the present condition
-of
San
Francisco is testament to how
dangerous it can be to play guess-
ing games and to guess wrong.
That's. exactly why President
George Bush is right to approach
the situation in Eastern Europe
with· caution. The temptation to
welcome the Eastern Bloc's new
liberalism with open arms is so
great that the only way to avoid
mistakes is to take things at a slow
pace.
Those in the U.S. who are
clamoring for huge increases in
economic assistance to Poland are
forgetting a lesson that American
lawmakers seem to learn and forget
constantly: thro\\ing money at a
problem is one of the worst ways
to deal with it.
Domestically this approach has
given us a ruinous welfare system.
Internationally, it has pro1,ided us
\\ith wealthy Latin American dic-
tators and not much else. In this
sense, the U.S.'s recent economic
woes have been a blessing in
disguise, preventing it from using
the dollar diplomacy that has fail-
•
ed so often in the past.
Bush's cautious approach has
drawn fire from some lawmakers,
who fear that the U.S. is falling far '-
behind the Soviet Union in the~
public relations war that Gor-
bachev is waging. They are afraid
.
that other nations will see the
Soviets as the great peacemakers
and the U.S. ~s the gn;at
oppressors.
This fear is valid to a point. But
Gorbachev's meteoric rise in public
relations is perfect evidence that it
is a lot easier to make up ground
in public relations than in military
buildup. Since there is no way the
U.S.
can
know for sure what the
future holds, it is better to err on
the side of caution than on the side
of foolishness.
There is no doubt that the
changes taking place behind the
Iron Curtain have the potential for
changing the political make-up for
the world. But for the U.S. to get
depply involved now would do
more harm than good to both it
and to the countries it seeks to help.
This one is not the U.S.'s
ballgame. The best it can to is lend
some encouragement from the
sidelines.

Correction
Due to a editing error in last
week's Circle, the final paragraph
in the article about the 21 Club was
unclear. It should have said,
"Guests are allowed to attend, but
they must have a guest pass and
proper identification, such as a
driver's license or a passport."

Another look at the other side
from one who -used to be there
by Philip Karpel
Where is Canterbury?
That was my question on August 16th, 1988 when
I read the housing assignment for my junior year. But
I guess, indirectly, I asked for it. Yes, I jumped on
the Marist College bandwagon of apathetic thought.
I wasn't involved with any college activities, clubs,
what have you. So with low priority, I moved from
my luxurious 9th floor Champagnat suite to 58A Janet
Drive.
•
A few good things did arise from this situation. One
is that my parents didn't have to drive as far this year
to drop me off.
I stepped back and looked at my dilemma. I realiz-
ed this wasn't what I wanted, so I got involved. I join-
ed a number of different clubs and organizations. The
big one was that I became a Unit Coordinator, along
with Paul Lawrence (the author of a previous view-
point, "He Lives to Bust ... ", 11/2/89).
We had a fun staff. This isn't saying we didn't take
our jobs seriously, because we did. We just made the
best of it, for both the students and ourselves. We were
an understanding staff, not a ban of camouflaged by-
the-book housing police.
We recognized the fact that different housing areas
require different methods of control and maybe more
liberal (with reference to Canterbury) interpretations
of the handbook. For some, Canterbury is hell. This
doesn't infer that the Housing Staff should be
Lucifer's cohorts.
Even with this method of practice, I found that few
students accepted, respected or took advantage of us
as a resource. This made the job unfulfilling and at
times depressing. Fused with poor pay, few benefits,
and no signs of change in the future, I did not take
the U.C. position again this year.
According to Lawrence's article, things haven't got-
ten better. In fact, they are deteriorating. With some
gung ho thriving-to-bust staff members and poor
management, I'm now sorry that I didn't pull Paul
and the other returning staff members out with me.
It is said that the captain should go down with his
ship, but look guys, RA's and UC's weren't and aren't
the captains, just mere subordinates. If the captain
doesn't want to listen, then grab the closest life raft
and row for land (hopefully you'll take th~ correct 5
items with you).
Canterbury is probably one of the most apathetic
living areas "on campus". These people are instilled
with a feeling of alienation from the rest of campus,
so, it is Housing's duty to restore a sense of "belong-
ingness". But this is difficult when the staff is also
alienated. They are the lowest paid employees with
arguably the most work.
Resolving this problem doesn't mean increasing the
number of staff members, but how about adding more
incentives and rewards? Face it, the expectations
outlined in the U.C. job description ( ... in a position
such that they are perceived as role models and
therefore, have significant, positive influence and im-
pact on students' adjustments and developments) just
don't make the grade out at Canterbury.
In a war, Canterbury would be considered a lose
cause. Efforts would be diverted to other, more
positive areas. This isn't a war, though, it is reality.
Clean up your efforts, Marist. Take care of the Resi-
dent Student Housing Staff.

Cleaning day arrives
as parents come by
It's been a while since Mom
and Dad have seen the campus
and the surrounding area, so
when they suggested a visit last
Saturday,
I
wholeheartedly
agreed.
Much has changed since their
last visit. Champagnat has been
spruced up, Donnelly has
undergone major transforma-
tions and ground was recently
broken for the Dyson Center.
There is a certain element of
nervous tension as one waits for
the parents to show up, especial-
ly when one's parents have a
history of showing up late.
It was nice of Mom to give a
warning call at 11 :30, telling me
that they were just about to
leave. For my parents that sim-
ple phrase can mean anywhere
from five minutes to an hour.
l sprang into action.
I
figured
I had roughly two hours to get
the house and myself into the
presentable mode.
My first reaction as
I
crept
down to the Jiving room was,
"Uh-oh."
Unfortunately, the neighbors,
we suspect, broke into our
house the night before and,
judging by the way the place
looked, had a beer party.
There were cups and cans
strewn about in a manner that
would make Skinners appear to
be the library.
I applied a little elbow grease
to the task and rose to the
challenge
of housekeeper
emeritus.
With the living room and sur-
rounding areas under control,
I
shifted my effort to the front
lawn.
Apparently
these sinister
neighbors were also hanging out
on the front stoop, as many
cups of day old beer and aqua
ashtrays stood stoically, seem-
ingly guarding my house from
evil forces lurking about the
neighborhood.
Within minutes I had the
whole area scoured and ready
for inspection.
I quickly scanned the scenario
and headed upstairs.
My room has always been a
major source of ridicule and
harrassment, just because it
happens to be a little bit messy
once in a while.
Personally I don't think it's
Wes Zahnke

life
half as bad as people say, but
I'm always open for some con-
structive criticism.
Of course, the abuse
I
take is
like pouring a Morton's salt
container on a festering sore,
but I can deal with it.
There are generally a few
garments ·1ying about, but let's
not overreact. Acting hastily
and calling the laundry patrol
won't solve the problem.
My bed might not be made
everyday, but I'm only going to
sleep in it later that night, so
what's the big deal?
Honestly,
some people,
notably
roommates,
have
nothing better to do than gripe
and moan about the most
miniscule problems.
Ok,
I
haven't done the dishes
in some time. Quite frankly,
I
feel guilt when I wash the dirty
dishes that
I
know people in
Tangier will never see.
•
How can
I
justify mopping
the floor, when half of the
world's population has no floor ·
to mop?
It just takes the wind out of
my sails.
The cleaning got done and
Mom and Dad did arrive ... late.
l
showed off the campus.
They were impressed.
I took them to Vanderbilt,
the Ogden Mills Mansion and
Foster's Tavern in Rhinebeck.
The meal, my first semblance
of solid food in weeks, was
outstanding.
We stopped at.the Champion
Outlet,
where I suddenly
became Larry Bird. Arriving
back at the house, they came in
to view my handiwork and the
room from hell.
They were almost impressed.
Because a happy room is a
slightly messy room.

This applies to the fans also. If
U2 says Amnesty is cool, then U2
fans will join. If Michael Jackson
says give money to starving people,
his fans will. If Bon Jovi protested
aerosol hairspray, the ozone layer
would be saved thanks to his
devoted fans.
But this all seems like packaged

concert to raise people's awareness
of world hunger, for example, is
undoubtedly a worthy effort. But

how many are getting the message?
Here's my impression of the
average Live Aid concertgoer after
the show ended: "Gee, people are
starving. Bummer. But how about
the Who, man? And wasn't U2
awesome?" You can lead a kid to
the show, but you can't make him
think.
I'm all for the mega-concerts
that carry a message, but we need
less of them and more proverbial
voices crying out in the darkness.
Less hyped goodwill and more ge-
nuine conscience.
A song like Bob Dylan's
"Blowin' in the Wind" reaches me
more rilan any huge concert ex~

he wrote it doesn't mean the song
is without value.
Like any songwriter, artist, or

is oniy going to come from inside.
Live Aid was a great event, but
people are still starving in Ethiopia.
(Not to mention everywhere else in
the world.) And Johannesburg ob-
viously didn't heed the message of
the "Sun City" project.
We have to fine tune our .ear if

Women·g~t-
soccer te.am
by Nathan
J.
Robinson
The Marist womens socc~r team
became a reality for its 25 members
last Thursday when its constitution
was passed by the Council of Stu-
dent Leaders, giving the group club
statis.
• •
• .
According to co-author of the
club's constitution, Jo-Anne Pro-
kopowicz, a junior communication
arts major, the group had original-
ly planned to be a varsity-level
sport but decided to become a club
after Marist would not support a
women's soccer team.
· "A group must have a sustain-
ed interest level to become a varsi-
ty sport and women's soccer does
not have a this yet," said Elsie
Mula, assistant to the athletic
director.
.
There must be enough interest on
a yearly basis so that Marist will
not invest in a team that will disap-
pear as did the field hockey team,
said Mula.
Marist is also in the midst of jug-
gling sport conferences and may
need to add a women's softball
team and men's baseball team in
the next year, said Mula.
Marist will switch from the Nor-
theast conference to the East Coast
Conference - a move which may
require the addition of the extra
sports.
Prokopowicz said Marist should
have a women's varsity soccer
team
instead of a women's softball team
because there is aleady an interest
in soccer and not in softball.
"We just want to play, and I'm
happy we're a club," said club
member Marybeth Burnell, a
sophomore business _major.
The women's soccer club holds
its practices on North Field at 4
p.m. on weekdays and 12 p.m. on
Sundays.

Icemen split in
opening weekend
by Jay Reynolds
Under a new coach and a new
direction, the Marist hockey team
skated at .500 in its first weekend
of action.
After dropping a 7-4 game to
Wagner College last Saturday, the
Red Foxes rebounded to defeat
William Patterson College 8-1 on
Sunday night.
Sunday saw the Red Foxes reach
an 8-0 lead, despite leading just 2-0
after the first two periods.
Junior defenseman Kevin Walsh
put the Red Foxes on the board,
scoring his first goal of the season
with 6:33 left in the first period on
a pass from forward Steve Murray.
Murray then scored a power-play
goal with just under seven minutes
gone by in the second period on a
pass from center Scott Kendall.
The third period saw the Red
Foxes explode for six unanswered
goals.
The Red Foxes added goals for-
wards Brendan McDonald (assisted
by Murray and Kendall), Scott
Brown (unassisted) and Steve
Mueller (assisted by Doyle).
Doyle added two goals of his
own in the period - with Mueller
picking up a pair of assists and
freshman Ed Sharake tallying one.
In Saturday's home opener at the
Mid-Hudson Civic Center, the Red
Foxes could not hold on to the 4-2
lead they had after the· first two.
periods
~
losing to Wagner 7-4.
Freshmen Scott Brown and Dar-
ryl Vallen put Marist in front with
their unassisted goals.
Doyle -
off a pass from Pat
Corbett - and Kendall tallied the
other two Marist goals.
Between the second and third
periods, though, police cleared
most of the stands following an in-
cident involving fans at the game
and an off-duty police officer
working as a security guard at the
arena.
According to reports, three teen-
agers -
two Marist students and
a former Marist student - were ar-
rested in the incident.
About eight city police cars
responded to the Civic Center,
however, the City of Poughkeep-
sie police refused to comment on
the matter.

Cagers optimistic
despite weekend
exhibition loss
by Mike 0'Farrell
"We have to start somewhere."
Those were ·head men's basket-
ball coach Dave Magarity's first
words after his Red Foxes were
defeated in Saturday's scrimmage
by the U.S.A. Verich Reps 100-79.
A reported crowd of 2, 704
gathered in the McCann Center to
get a glimpse of this year's squad.
The exhibition was the first
public appearance of the year for
the injury-hampered Red Foxes.
~n the opening minutes of play,
Marist looked sharp.
The Red Foxes moved the ball
nicely on offense looking for the
open man and throwing crisp
passes. This enabled Marist to take
a 29-25 lead in the first half.
However, the Red Foxes were
dry for five minutes, the Reps -
a team which tied for second place

in last summer's International
Games in South Korea -
pulled
ahead 41-31 and they never look-
ed back.
Magarity, however, was not too
worried.
"I
didn't treat this as a win/loss
situation," he said. "What hap-
pened really didnt suprise me. We
just wanted to evaluate ourselves -
I saw some really good things."
Magarity said one bright spot
was junior forward Reggie Gaut.
"Reggie played really well," said
Magarity.
"I
could not be more
pleased with his performance."
Gaut tallied 14 points, hauled in
·
eight rebounds and dished out four
•
assists.
Tom Fitzsimons was the leading
rebounder -a category the Foxes
must improve on this year - pull-
ing down 11 boards.
•
One area that the fourth-year
coach said the Red Foxes must im-
prove upon is shooting.
The Red Foxes connected on on-
ly 35 percent of their field goals -
a figure that must be higher for
them to be successful, according to
Magarity.
Marist also hit just four of 17
from behind the 3-point line.
"We'll be all right," Magarity
said. "Andy Lake will shoot bet-
ter than one-for-12 and Bobby
Reasbeck will do better than one-
for-nine. We have a good founda-
tion of shooters.'!
Steve Paterno, who could be
considered the cornerstone of that
foundation, missed the game with
lacerations on his hand but will be
ready to practice this week.
"Steve will be a guy that we will
go to in certain situations this
year," Magarity said.
One key aspect according to
Magarity was Joey O'Connor.
The senior point guard scored 17
points -
13 in the second half.
"Joey realized tonight that he
has to take over this team,"
Magarity said. "He
.must
be a
leader."
Turnovers and shot selection
were two major problems for
Magarity.
"Our continuity was off,"
Magarity said. "Turnovers were a
major problem for us.

by Mike 0'Farrell
Any hopes of a confrence title or
a

Red Foxes were put to rest last
Saturday when Gallaudet College

tion's capital.
With the loss, Marist falls to a

Gallaudet, on the other hand,

stands have been drinking and

during the halftime of a 14-10

games want to see some hockey
played - whether or not they drink
is their prerogative.
If they get out of hand, then they
should be dealt with individually.
