The longer Bello spoke about

was also an opportunity to win $200 by guessing
BeJlo's five favorite songs. Ten people each took home $20,
.out
of Bello's own pocket, by naming four of the songs.
Bello twice jumped off the
stage and once pounded his fist
on the floor to stress how much
he liked
a
song.
The generally enthusiastic
crowd applauded and laughed
at Bello's antics as it tried to
decide which were his favorite
songs.
"It's· great to
see
all these
people come out and promote
college activities," said senior
Mark Rahikka.
Rahikka, one of the ten win-
ners, said the event proves that
college students can_ have fun
without alcohol.
Bello teased the
•
anxious
crowd by first naming his sixth
through tenth favorite songs as
the audience chanted, "We
want the money."
The Theater was mixed with
shouts of excitement and disgust
as Bello finally listed his five
favorite songs.
They were:

Fears, "Til I Loved You," a
duet with Barbra Streisand and
Don Johnson, and "Sara" by
Starship.
Bello, who was visibly ex-
hausted after the contest, said
he was happy with the turnout
and how the show went.

A break in a water main outside
Champagnat Hall early Monday
morning prompted a five-hour
shutdown· of water on the South
End of campus, according to
Charles Hall, Sheahan Hall's
residence director.

went without water from about
9:30
a.m.
to 2:30 p.m. last Mon-

The problem began when a water
main south of Champagnac broke
at about 2:30 a.m., creating a small
geyser, Hall said.
Maintenance workers from the
Office of Physical Plant decided to
wait until later that morning to turn
off the water and fix the pipe, Ball
said.
Students were able to shower at

After Murray, the next three
highest-paid employees of Marist in
1987-88 were as follows, according
to the IRS document:
-Vice President for Academic
Affairs Marc vanderHeyden earn-
ed $75,000 last year, 17 percent
more than the previous year. Chief
academic officers at all four-year
colleges earned an average salary of
$52,513 last year, compare,d to
$80,000 at colleges with budgets
comparable to Marist, according to
CUP A surveys.
-Former Vice President for Ad-
ministration Edward Waters, who
retired from . that . position · last
semester, earned
$69,100
last year,
18
percent more than the previous
year. The
average
salary was
$50,000
for all four-year colleges
and $78,000 for comparable
colleges.
-The vice president for admis-
sions , and enrollment planning,
Harry Wood, earned $68,900 last
year. The average salary for admis-
sions directors at all four-year col-
leges was $34,800 last year. The
average salary for the same job at
colleges comparable to Marist was
unavailable.
•
In addition to his annual salary,
Murray also lives in a home own-
ed
and maintained by the college
and ·drives a college-owned car.
These and other benefits are com-
mon among college presidents, ac-
cording to a CUPA survey.
"I'm not ashamed or embarrass-
ed
of
my salary;
I
think
I
earn
every
penny of it," Murray said. "If peo-
ple want to make what a college
president makes they
can
apply for
the job - or be a Big East basket-
ball coach."
Murray said Marist faculty and
administrators could make much
more in other professions and that
the college has to pay competitive
salaries !O keep good people.

In an attempt to
.
provide
more unity between faculty,
members
and
graduates,
selected faculty will be marching
.
for the first time with students
in their major at the May
20
Commencement, according to
;
.
Edward O'Keefe, commence-,
ment committee member.
The Commencement will be
held in the Lowell Thomas
parking lot, the first time out-
side since 1980, and will include
other changes along with the ad-
dition of the faculty to the
march.
This year, each graduate will
be allowed to invite six seated
guests. Last year only four
guests per graduate could be .
seated.
Also, because graduation will
be outside, additional guests
can
stand during the ceremony. Last
year, attendance was limited to
4,000 people.
If rain is certain, graduation
will be held in Mccann Center,
but it will be a shorter ceramony
with a limited number of guests.
If rain begins during the
ceramony, graduates will be •
acknowledged by major instead
of individually.
Before students pick up their
caps and gowns they will be re-
quired to sign a contract pledg-
ing there will be no alcohol
comsumption
during
the
ceramony and security
will
strictly enforce the policy.
"By not enforcing the policy,
we are really cheating students
that want to have a dignified
commencement," said Donna
Berger, executive assistant to the
.
academic vice president.
Graduates and parents will
receive letters explaining the
policy
prior
to
the
Commencement.
Last year, some graduates
made noise and sprayed cham-
pagne, trying to get the speaker
to finish early. This year college
officials are hoping it will be
different.
•
"The last thing that anybody
wants is a confrontation with
students," said O'Keefe.
Another thing that will be dif-
ferent this year is that there will
not be a Baccalaureate recep-
tion, due to last_year's low at-
tendance. The Baccalaureate
ceramony will held in the Lowell
Thomas parking lot on Friday,
May 19, at 5:00 p.m.
About 700 students will be
graduating along with honorary
degree recipients. Paul Rinn, a
U.S. Naval hero and a 1968
graduate of Marist, will be the
Commencement speaker.

More than 650 people packed the

Graduation usually marks the
last day at Marist
.
for most
students.
But for some recent graduates,
Marist is not only their alma mater,
it is also their employer.
Chris Delgiomo, Jim Norman
and Terrence Michos have all
returned to work at Marist after
graduation and all three agree that
the Marist community made the
transition easier for them.
Delgiorno, a 22-year-old com-
munication arts graduate, began
working as assistant director of ad-
missions two weeks after he
graduated last May and said he was
pleased with the results.
"I jumped right in and I really
love it," Delgiorno said.

Norman, director of alumni af-
fairs, graduated from Marist in
1986 with a degree in communica-
tion arts and had held two other
positions in the area before retur-
ning to Marist four and a half
months ago.
Norman said he was always com-
fortable with his teachers outside of
the classroom so his position on
campus has not changed that
relationship.
"I've found most of them seem
to have no problem seeing me as a
fellow employee rather than a stu-
..
dent," Norman said.

with the March of Dimes and the

tunity to work at Marist and re-

was something he could not pass
up, he said.
Even though he did not live on
campus, Norman involved himself
in campus life as the Marist Col-
lege Red Fox for four years. He
also worked as student ground-
skeeper during the school year and
summers at Marist.
Norman said coming back to
work
at Marist was exciting
experience.
"It
was kind of a kick my first

everybody again, saying 'hello' and
people asking, 'What are you do-

"This is definitely the best

Debbie
gets hers
by Mary Stricker
I don't know why I dislike
Debbie Gibson so much. Is it
her hair? Her clothes? Her
music? Her youth? Yes.
But it has more to do with the
fact that she is Debbie Gibson.
This icky teeny-bopper has
become the symbol for youth -
or electric youth, if she will.
She writes her own songs,
directs her own videos and ob-
viously picks her own wardrobe.
I guess people find these ac-
complishments
worthy of
praise. But her songs, videos
and fashion statements are, at
the least, obscene.
Deb must be mocked or we
will live with a future generation
of giddy girlies who think the
meaning of life is; "Don't
worry, be happy."
Their
lipstick will get brighter, their
hair blonder and their hoop ear-
rings bigger.
These cutesy blondies will
turn our youth into empty-
headed boobs who think saving
the aerosol can is a worthy
cause. The next generation
won't be radical or rebellious -
they'll just be queer.
We don't need to physically
abuse Deb, but she needs to be
put in her place. Why can't she
be like all the other white female
flake heads, do her nails and

CSL honors clubs
at annual ceremony
by Dennis Yusko
·
The Council of Student Leaders
awarded some Marist organizations
for their work on and off campus
at its awards dinner on Sunday.
In the annual event, CSL granted
awards for the club of the year, the
service club of the year and the
•
class of the year. The ceremony
also saw the addition of
a
new
award -
the sports club of the
year. which was awarded to the•
volleyball squad.
The club of the year, awarded to
the Commuter Union, is given to
the club that has produced and held
the most successful events during
the year.
The service club of the year,
given to both the Psycology Club
and the Social Work Club, is given
to the group that has provided the
most services to the Marist and/or
the local community.
This year's class of the year was
given to the class of 1992. This
award is given out to the class that
has done the most work.
"The freshman class held a fun-
draiser, took part
in
the freshmen
olympics and was a very en-
thusiastic bunch. All of this
counts," said Jennifer Peifer, stu-
dent body treasurer. "The senior,
junior and sophmore classes just
did the normal amount of class
activities."
•
Peifer said the addition of the
sports club award was done
because the CSL wanted a special
•
category to recognize the growing
·amounts of some of the sports at
Marist that are recognized as clubs
rather than teams. Groups such as
hockey, wrestling, rugby and rac-
quetball each have club status.
To win an award, you must win
the majority of seven votes. The
presidents of the Resident Student
Council, the Student Academic
Committee, the Commuter Union
and the College Union get one
vote. The vice president of the stu-
dent body, the student body
~
••
treasurer and the student body
secretary also get one vote each. In
a tie, the student body president
would be the deciding vote.
The name of each of the honored
clubs will be placed on a plaque in
the Office of Student Affairs.

Closed meeting
hinders justice
Tomorrow, the Judicial Board
will
meet to
review
the process
by which the Council of Student Leaders voted to punish Tau
Kappa Epsilon for alleged violations.
The board has decided to close the meeting to the public, ac-
cording to board Chairperson Bill Saroka. Saroka also says board
members will decide at the beginning of-the meeting whether to
allow a reporter "from The Circle to be present for the proceedings.
The first of these decisions is wrong; the second
·should
be
unnecessary.
.
First, the board should not expect to satisfy the members of
TKE by deliberating on the appeal
if
it does not allow the frater-
nity to hear the proceedings.
The members of TKE have the right to hear how the final deci-
sion on their appeal is reached.
Throughout the TKE case; CSL has closed its meetings. Now
TKE is charging CSL with bias because five members of the coun-
cil belong to Sigma Phi Epsilon, another fraternity on campus.
The question remains, if TKE was allowed to sit in on these
meetings, would the Judicial Board be hearing the appeal now?
By allowing TKE to sit in on its meetings, CSL may have shown
that the membership of some of the officers in another fraternity
had no bearing on the outcome of the deliberations.
The Judicial Board should learn from this mistake.
Secondly, any viable news media on campus should be allow-
ed to report on the meetings rather than on a brief synopsis of
the proceedings when they are complete.
•
The practice of briefing a repor:ter rather than allowing him
to gather information first-hand only makes his task of understan-
ding and reporting on a subject more difficult.
Also, by allowing a journalist - whether he be from campus
radio station
WMCR,
Marist College Television or The Circle -
access to the meeting, the board could assure the college com-
munity that its decision is impartial, fair and well thought ou_t.
Opening the meeting is the best decision f ~r all concerned;
m
this case, the entire college community is concerned.

Condom story was wrong
To the editor:
This is in response to the story
that appeared in the April 13 issue
of The Circle concerning condoms
and the Students for Student's
Rights group ("Condom policy
tops agenda for meeting").
I
am
upset with the slander and· sensa~
tionalism of the article~ and I want
to
set the record straight about it.
Our group is an informal
organization which meets to discuss
problems facing students. These
problems include prices in the
Bookstore, permission for a stu-
dent mural on campus, the new
Poughkeepsie residency law and
the forum being scheduled for May
1.
·were used.
Having condoms on campus is
one issue on our agenda, but it cer-
tainly isn't the only one - it just
happens to be the most sensational.
The very headline of the article
is "totally misleading. The condom
policy isn't even on the agenda for
the forum. The main concerns
will
be housing and the Library. The ar-
ticle gives the impression that we
are putting condoms ahead of
housing and academics, and I feel
as if my intelligence has been
·insulted.
I realize the very word "con-
dom" draws attention, and has, in
a way, made our group pretty
famous lately, but that's not the
kind of fame I was hoping for. This
group was not formed to create
problems for the administration.
Our goal is. to work with the ad-
minstration to improve com-
munication and to end apathy
among students.
The article said our group "is
organizing an open forum for May

doms on campus ... " Although I

It's bad

-that television
h!lS
always been a' vast wasteland,
but at least it was an original
wasteland. Now all we get is "The
Wasteland: a New Beginning."
But, just like you can't censor
television because of its poor quali-
ty, you should not be able to cen-
sor it because of its poor taste
either.
Unfortunately,
some
mothers and religious
·leaders
seem
to have forgotten about that.
A new wave of censorship
started-a few months ago, when
Terry Rakolta,
a Michigan
homemaker, was offended by the
content of an episode of "Mar-
ried ... With Children." Rakolta
wrote to some of the show's spon-
sors, who subsequently pulled their
•
advertising.
•
It is good that Mrs. Rakolta felt
she could petition a show's spon-
sors and get some action. It is not
good that a Michigan housewife
can have so inuch power that she
can decide what the rest of the
country can watch.
I just happened to
see
that par-
ticular episode of "Married ... With
Children."
Ii
showed men wearing
garter belts and stockings, among
other things. Personally,.! thought
thinking
between
the
lines
'
by turning the channel.
.
If enough people agree
with
her
assessment, no one
will
watch the
show (except bums like me) and it
will be canceled.
The free
marketplace of ideas works, if you
give
it a chance. The Constitution
does not, and should not, judge
what is tasteful and what is not.
It is illegal to yell "fire" in a
crowded theater {unless,-Qf course,
there really is a fire in said theater).
It is not illegal to yell "penis" in
a crowded cathedral. It is in poor
taste, and whoever does it will pro-
.
bably be pelted with crucifixes and
whipped with rosary beads - but
it is not illegal.
But the real thrust of Rakolta's
argument was not so much that the
show offended her taste, but that
she was afraid her children would
see it.
"I'm
·not
a radical. I'm not a
prude," Rakolta said. "I just want
to be able to turn on my TV with
a degree of safety.about what my
children are going to see
.
.,
Is the Federal Communications
Commission a baby-sitting service?
Are we all supposed to watch "Mr.
Rogers" and "Sesame Street" our
.
entire lives?
If Rakolta is concerned with
what her children are seeing at"9;30
.
p.m. on. a Sunday night, I would
• suggest she check out an episode of.

Marist's forgotten -values and 'moral fraud'
by Bro. Joseph L.R. Belanger
Allow me some final reflections
on recent articles in The Circle. •
- .J:irst.of all, congratulations on
parts of the April 13 editorial. You
had the honesty to . state une-
quivocally: there is. open promiscui-
•
ty on campus, and the administra-
tion does not care. It should care
- if not morally, at least financial-
ly! Only 56 percent of the students
who start at Marist graduate! One
of every two coeds who start never
finish.
The causes are complex, but the
moral fraud at Marist surely is a big
reason. Of course, if other paying
animals and humans take their
place, why care?
Surely the most tragic sentiment
in the condom debate is the sense
of defeatism expressed.by many -
"abstention is not
a
viable option.'?
The lack of options is the end of
human development. Would that
these defeatists could spend time
with the thousands of Taize and
Focolare teens

The tour
to end
all-tours
by
Mark
Miller
O.K.; so it was River Day last
Friday. I took part ... but in
quite a special way. I'm sure the
Admissions Office will love me
• for it too.
• You see, early in the morning .
I happened to be over by Don-
nelly where I bumped into a
ratherJost~,lqoking, ~ute yoµng
lady and her mother.
"Excuse me, do you know
where the Admissions Office is?
I'm supposed to
.~
~ing
a_
tour."
..
•
..
.
"A tour? Why, you must be
going
to
meet me," I said (I
lied). "I'm scheduled to give all
tours today." May I burn in
hell.
"Really'?"
"Really. Why don't we start
the tour with a little bus ride
over here."
On the way over to Canter-
bury we discussed with the
driver LL Cool J's new haircut
and the -Yankees' chances of
keeping their manager. for
longer than half a season.
Rather stimulating. .
.
When we got there we
discussed. the special, perks
Marist. offers for Canterbury
residents, the three Cs - _Cold
water, Cold rooms and your
very own Cat.
•
The girl was allergic so we
hung
out
and waited for
another van. It was late.
We arrived back at Marist
and headed down to the
cafeteria. She thought
I
was
.kidding.
However, she was impressed·
that the school had student
paintings on the walls. .One
point for Marist. I pictured one
of the Mccann scoreboards
lighting up ... or is Colleary tak-
ing those with him too?
While in the Campus Center
we stopped at the Bookstore.
The mother really surprised me.
"Do you sell condoms'?"
"Excuse me?"
"Condoms. You know, those
rubbery things."
.
"I KNOW ... but ... uh, well,
no.
The school
doesn't
approve."
"And what happens if my
daughter gets lucky?"
"Well, I guess she better not
get lucky. At least not on this
campus." Which,,of course, is
a rather stupid statement.

Park)! They would experience a
world of exhilirating love and joy
and mutual respect, the result of
deep faith and pre-marital sexual
abstention.
_·
•
Unfortunately,', like the poor
children of Lebanon and Northern
Ireland and El Salvador who have
never known peace, the defeatists
have never known anything but
mutual abuse and promiscuity. To
believe in the inevitability of pro-
miscuity is to recede into animality.
It is tliis defeatism, of both the
students and the administration,
which has cynically labeled us Mat-
tress College.
•
Such defeatism has its roots in a
lack of faith and a lack of educa-
tion. Aldous Huxley once defined
an intellectual as a person who
discovered something beyond sex.
Apparently, there are too few in-
tellectuals at Marist.
When I was in college we struggl-
ed with William James' four basic
rules for training the will. Today
students ignore both James and his
. voluntarism. A permissive society
has no truck with education, least
of all education of the will.
Not only education; • but also
religion, is out at Mattress College.
About 10 percent attend Mass
weekly, and some of these regularly
scoot out at Communion. Lent has
lost all meaning even just as a time
to strengthen the will; so have New
Year's• resolutions gone ~by the
board. Campus Ministry struggles
to get a handful • to help the
homeless in January and the
migrant workers in May.
Easter is all about empower-
ment. Christ has given us the power
to do good and resist evil. Try
praying -
morning and evening
and at dinner; try Holy Mass and
Communion, the Rosary and Visits
to the Blessed Sacrament. It could
change your life -
even save it
these days! April 21 - feast of St.
Anselm
of Bee, father
of
Scholasticism, the reconciliation of
Faith and Reason. Education and
religion are only for the mature.
This leads me to note a second
sentiment in this debate, and that
is infantilism - the need for adult
approval.
Students who whored in the
1960s also fought for peace in the
world, for civil rights and equal
rights. And they didn't look for
adult approval.
The animal
students of the 1980s (there are
human students, fortunately), sur-
rounded by massive illiteracy,
homelessness, and ·poverty, are
fighting only f.or their genital rights
and adult approval.
Let's be honest, Council of Stu-
dent Followers -
if you really
want to fight AIDS, you don't sell
condoms in the Bookstore which is
closed most of the week. You in-
stall vending machines or you work
through Health Services. Who's
kidding whom? You want con-
doms in the Bookstore merely as a
symbol of explicit adult approval
for promiscuity .
One Student Follower argued
with me that the Bookstore solu-
tion was primarily for the freshmen
who have rio cars. Is this the
message we give freshmen - calm-
ly pre-meditated date rape? Whor-
ing not through passion and
weakness, but through
cool
calculation'? No, No! Is this South
Africa? Is five percent dictating to
95
percent? No wonder these
animals drive out half the
freshmen! Should not Marist rather
change or drive out the animals?
A third and last sentiment must
be mentioned. That is stupidity.
Every administrator knows that
just plain stupidity is becoming
more of a problem daily. The
refusal and thus the inability to
think. It goes back to will power,
as Pascal said: "The most impor-
tant factor in intelligence is the
will." I believe the Bookstore op-
tion is the result of infantilism, but
it could also be the result of just
plain stupidity.
In any case, it must be clear to
all that in every Fall semester there
must be blunt AIDS and pro-
miscuity discussion mandatory for
all faculty, student services staff,
and students.
Have a good summer. Walk with
God.

CUB needs student cooperation
by Thomas Nesbitt
A
group of
60
students worked for almost 20 hours in preparation
for this year•~ spring concert with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Just
over 500 people attended the show, marking the worst loss ever for a
Marist concert. Yes, the College Union Board had a concert and almost
no one came.
There are several reasons why this concert wasn't as successful as it
should have been. Students were obviously upset at having to pay
$8
for
tickets. The contract for the concert blocked our use of radio adver-
_
ttsemsnts. The ac_lv~rtising_that
we did.:.have was put.µp Jatc;t M~ist .
students are chronic complainers. Air of these reasons being valid, the
last. reason perhaps encompasses all of the rest.
,..- • , ..
. CUB had narrowed its choice down .to four possible
acts.
Contrary
to public!
i>pirifori,•Jaines Taylor
was not even considered as he was way
out
of our price range. Our other three choices: Kansas/Night Ranger,
Meatloaf and Zebra, had all played in the area recently and thus would
not have attracted many people. This led us to choose Joan Jett and the
Blackhearts.
_ .
Every. year students criticize CUB -on their choice for a concert.
However, we allow all students at Marist the right to participate in that
decision-making process. If the individuals who don't exercise that right
spent as much time helping CUB as .they do complaining about it, the
apathy problem at Marist could be considerably lessened.
Sixty students who gave of their time so. that you could have a con-
cert, made me proud to be a member of CUB. After the show was over,
they spent the next three hours cleaning the Mccann Center in prepara-
tion for the next ·morning's Hoop Shoot charity event. That commitment
deserves your respect.
•
With the help of the Concert Committee, this concert ran extremely
well. For the most part, those individuals who watched the show were
very happy with it. To me, then the concert was a success regardless of

Who wanted her here, anyway?

I'm sure that everybody is experiencing the same annoying ringing in
-tfie ears from the Joan Jett concert last Friday night. Right.
The attendance was pathetic and could mean a setback for future spring
concerts.
Obviously
no
one gave two turds for Miss Jett.
Why was there no interest? Are we, the Marist community, too
sophisticated for Jett and her leather get-up?
Are we too cheap to spend
$8
for a ticket'? Or is there a lack of com-
munication between the students and the College Union Board?
I'd like to know why CUB decided on Joan Jett and why there wasn't
more input allowed from· the student body.
.
,
~-
It's
pretty rldi~u\ous when
you can't get
a
good crowd
of
students
at
an on-campus concert.
. The proof is right
there - no one wanted to see Joan Jett. Therefore,
someone flubbed.
.
.
I'm not pointing an accusing finger at anyone, but merely suggesting
better ways to enhance the selection process.
Why not make out a list of a few possible acts that would be feasible
to get here, then poll the students and give the job to the winner?
It seems that CUB went for the name brand instead of the best possi-
ble product.
An article last week said Jett was picked because she had three Top
Ten hits and was the best show for the money, according to CUB Presi-
dent Tom Nesbitt. .
I ask, "The best show according
to
whom?" Certainly not the students.
Facts don't lie. The attendance was horrendous.
I'd like to know what our other options were. I think we all want to
know.
Let's bring the power back to the people.

Let the students decide who they want to see, not some board of pro-
grammers in their ivory tower.

Student leaders in a time of questioning
by Gerard A. Cox
In New· York City_ this week,
celebrations will commemorate the
inauguration of our first President,
George Washington. It seems pro-
per that New York City, which
served as our first seat of govern-
ment, should be allowed to recreate
that very special moment in the na-
tion's history and to celebrate the
occasion.
Within this same week, we will
experience a governmental change·
of our own. The students elected to
positions of responsibility in Stu-
dent Government for
1988-1989
leave office and the newly-elected
student leaders assume the same
responsibilities. The process of·
transition is simple; the substance
of transition is great.
lmbedded within the ceremonial
of transition are those symbolic
gestures which spell the principles
and practices of student govern-
ment, which are to be passed on to
the new officers.
It seems especially appropriate to
reflect on what student government
and leadership mean on this cam-
pus. In the process \_Ve
may, I hope,
clear the air of fuzzy ideas about
the ~oilege, which h~ve been ex-
pressed in our campus press under
the rubric of discussing relevant in-
stitutional issues.
The forms of challenge provid-
ed by the establishment of a student
government are many: functions,
financial management, judicial
review, programming and com-
munications networks and systems.
In the broadest of strokes, these are
the primary areas of challenge
given to students elected to office.
Administrative staff and faculty
who work with student leaders
have the responsibility
to
challenge
and support these leaders, just as
the leaders in tum have the respon-
sibility to challenge and suppon
each other and their fellow
students.
It is important to understand the
meaning behind the concept of
"challenge and support." One way
to reach this understanding is to
think about what "challenge and
support" is not. It is not the prac-
tice of searching
for
the least com-
mon denominator, or the line of
least resistance, or the most
popular position.
It is grasping the opportunity to
demonstrate one's understanding
of the context that makes this cam-
pus, this college, different from
many others.
The college has a specific history:
a definite moment in time when it
began,
under
specific
cir-
cumstances, for special reasons. Its
beginning was the fuJfillment of a
dream.
As narrow as the defmition of its
original student body was, the
dreamers' dream was more univer-
sal. In time the student body
became more diverse, establishing
a pattern for diversity which con-
tinues to this day. Although the
college was originally designed for
the training of religious educators,
the later transition to an indepen-
dent, secular institution never in-
cluded a renunciation of either its
educational philosophy or view of
the religious nature of man.
This heritage is an essential ele-
ment of the historical sense that
every student leader must have to
serve well the college and its
students, which includes its alum-
ni as well as its present scholars.
No alteration of the description
of this institution of learning has
ever described the college as
anything but value-based, having a
very specific heritage given to us by
its founders. In short, we persist in
adhering to the finest principles of
this essentially Judea-Christian
heritage. And we admit to the ap-
pearance, now and then, of traces
of the riches bequeathed to us by
the Marist Brothers and the
Catholic Church. The tenets of
Catholicism are not only part of the
history of this college, but are in-
tegral elements in the religious
education of the vast majority of
our students.
It would be dishonest not to ad-
mit freely to this heritage. The
moral code of the college reflects
the college past which persists into
the present. The campus is not a
moral vacuum; the college com-
munity is not amoral.
We might do well to end this
portion of our discussion by reflec-
ting on a few words from the past.
We began by talking about
George Washington. Let's hear
from him. He wrote:
"Let us with caution indulge the
supposition that morality can be
maintained
without religion.
Reason and experience both forbid
us to expect that national morality
can prevail in exclusion of religiou~
principle.''
Therein lies the basis for the stu-
dent leaders' historical orienti\tion;

does not get involved. Dumb for
thinking The Circle would back the
school's events instead of printing
pointless colu.mns just to "kill
time."
Maybe you thought it was fun-
ny, Mary - but I don't think it's
funny when something that has
taken so long to accomplish is turn-
ed into a joke just to get a laugh.
I guess Joan Jett is a real joke,
right? Really bad, right? Someone
whose album went platinum last
month, with two Top Ten singles
froi:n it. Someone who sold out five
shows on Broadway just before
coming to Marist. Boy, you are
right Mary -
she has no talent,
and is a true definition
of
"repulsive entertainment."
Poodles are ugly and the story of
you blowing smoke rings -- now
that sure is journalism at its best.
To compare the time put into the
show with the time it took you to
write that -
that really is sad!
It is not only to you.that this let-
ter is directed, but also to the The
Circle for running tliat column just
one day before the concert. You
are part of the teason why campus
events turn into expensive jokes!
As a wise person once said,
"If
you don't have anything nice to
say, don't say it." Why ruin
something good for a pointless col-
umn? I think the question should
be, "Are YOU dumb?"

Preparing for an add/ drop campout
by K_evin

Despite low crowd turnout,
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
rocked the Mccann Center last
Friday with its distinctive high
energy rock 'n' roll.
With only 100 tickets sold a
week before the concert, the
College

organizers of the event - an-
ticipated increased sales at the
gate before the show.
Some 467 people were at the
concert, according to CUB
President Tom Nesbitt -

below predictions of 1,200 to
1,500.
The small crowd didn't seem
to bother Jett. She commanded

"It's bogus!" Barton Steinborn,
18, a freshman from New York Ci-
ty, said of his impression of
Marist's add/drop system.
Steinhorn and Jon Schodel, 19,
a freshman from Princeton,
N.J.,
camped out last Sunday night to
jockey for a position in the
freshman add/drop session the
next day.
Steinborn only got two of the.
five classes that he needed for the
this semester after registration
earlier
fo
the year:
Before the ritual - which is like
a huge slumber party - the two
anticipated about what it would be
• like spending the night in Donnel-·
ly Hall. -
"It's like waiting in line for real-
ly great concert tickets, like for The
Cure, only to find out that you're
in the wrong line," said Schodel.
With plenty of room to
dance, the crowd moved to the
sounds of recent hits like "Lit-
tle Liar," "Light of Day" and
"I
Hate Myself for Loving
You."
"She just kicked back and
relaxed," said Nesbitt. "It
showed she was enjoying
herself."
Schodel said the community col-
lege he attended last semester had
a
more organized registration
system than Marist's.
Lines, paperwork and all-night campouts are often synonymous with add/drop. This
semester's
add/drop period,
as this
hallway
scene in Donnelly Hall suggests, was no excep-
tion.

Bean town vs~ Big Apple
• How Bostonians look
.
at life in New York ...
-
by Michael DeCosta
Apples - no matter which way you slice
them -
don't go well with beans.
For Bostonians, who affectionately refer
to their hometown as "Beantown," a crock
·
of brown,
·soggy
beans outshines any apple,
including "The Big Apple," in New York
City.,
:
Only about 250 miles separate the two
great cities, but
_ask
any Bostonian or New
Yorker an_d he'll tell you that they're worlds
ap~~re's a iot of local pride involved in the
attitudes that
·residents
have,
-
according to
Steven Murray;
_a
communications major
fr9m &toughton,
Mass.,
about 15 miles south
of Boston. "There is an attitude that both
have that there is nothing outside of Boston,
noth_ing outside
of
New York," he said.
.
''When I cam_e here, people would ask,
'Why did you come all the way here to go
to
school,"' he said. "They have this in-
fatuation with B.C. (Boston College) as the
college to go to."
When Jim Horn came to Boston more
than 25 years ago, he was greeted with that
same narrow-minded attitude. Horn, a
native of Wellesville, N. Y., a town about I 00
miles southeast of Buffalo, said he got tired
of explaining that he was from western New
York.
"When I told people (in Boston) that I was
from New York, they would naturally
assume New York City," he said.
Janice Casey, an assistant English pro-
fessor, came to Dutchess County in 1963
from Winthrop, Mass., a town about IO
miles northeast of Boston. She too knows of
the local pride that Bostonians can have.
"There's a golf course just outside of
•
Boston known as "The Country Club"
which suggests the arrogance we sometimes
have," she said.
Casey often jokes with her students from
-New
York about their dialects and accents.
"They love hearing us say things like "Park
Square,'" he said.
.
Murray said that sports, however, is where
New Yorkers and Bostonians draw the line
between the light-hearted joking about ac-
·
ce_nts and getting into some heated
arguments.
"If
a New Yorker and a Bostonian are
arguing about sports, no one will ever win,;,
•
he said. "I've had some pretty big arguments
with my friends but, they never go beyond
that point."
But Murray saw the argument go beyond
mere words.
•
"I was at a Yankees-Red Sox game at
Yankee Stadium wh~n four kids wearing Red
Sox hats started running through
•
the
bleachers yelling at the Yankee fans," he
said. "They were quickly swamped with fans
throwing stuff and yelling right back at them.
"They were really asking for it though,"
Murray said. "They were lucky when securi..:
ty escorted. them out."
Despite all the rivalry between the two
.cities,
many Bostonians admit that they ab-
solutely love New York City.
"l
think New York is an exciting, wonder-.
ful place," said Casey.
"I
try to make it
down there at least four times a year."
Horn said he loves New York because of
the high concentration of art there. "I
especially enjoy Manhattan,'' he said. "You·
can get anything that exists in the world right
there."
But a few Bostonians beg to differ about
the greatness of The Big Apple.
Sean Murphy, a native of South Boston,
said he has only been to New York City once
to see a basketball game.
"I
hked it,
I
guess," he said. "That was
10 years ago though, and I've never been
back."
.. . And how New Yorkers
feel about 'up north'
by Gifford Krivak
Many great rivalries are waged among
American cities, but none
can
compare to the
,battle between "Beantown" and "The Big
Apple."
.
.
.
For years, inhabitants of the Boston and
New York metropolitan areas have fought
over subjects ranging from which city per-
forms better ballet to which city plays bet-
ter basketball.
"In New York, we have the Statue of
Liberty." Jeff Katz, a junior from Brooklyn,
N.Y.,
said. "In Boston, they have a statue
of a man on a horse."
Sports seems to encourage people's
tempers to get a little out of hand.
"I hate the Boston sports teams," Keith
Mascia, a freshman from Garden City, N.Y.,
said. "Growing up in New York you learn
to despise all of them, but I hate the Celtics
so much that if the Celtics played the Rus-
sians I'd root for' the Russians."
Although hearing cheers from the fans in
Fenway Park or the Boston Garden may be
some New Yorkers' idea of torture, many
have learned to hate and respect Boston fans
at the same time.
"I
hate the Boston teams because they're
rivals with New York's teams," said Joe
Monteleone, a junior from Garrison N. Y.
"But l respect the fans because they are loyal
sports fans. Just as the Rangers pack in the
fans at the Garden even though they haven't
won the Stanley Cup in 50 years, the Red Sox
sell out Fenway and they haven't won the
World Series in more than 70 years."
But they're still a little envious of the win-
ning New York teams.
"When it comes to baseball Red Sox fans
are jealous," said Frank Coleman, a
sophomore from the Bronx, N. Y. "Since
1921, the Yankees have won 22 World Series,
and the Red Sox have won zero. Sure the
Celtics have dominated in basketball, but this
is the Knicks year in the East."
"The people in New England talk as if
•
their teams always beat New York's," said
Dave Paige, a senior from White Plains,
. N. Y. "They seem to forget that the Red Sox
pulled the biggest choke of all time in '86
when they were one out away from beating
the Mets, and they blew it."
Some Bostonians even go as far as rooting
for the New England team just to avoid sup-
porting New York.
"I think New Englanders sometimes root
against New York just for the sake of rooting
against New York," said Coleman. "The
Patriots' fans hate the Giants just as much
as they hate the Jets - and the Patriots rare-
ly play the Giants."
New Yorkers also have their gripes about
the arenas Boston's teams use. "Look at the
Boston Garden, it's falling apart,"
said
Mascia. "New York's stadiums may not be
•
the best, but at least they have air
conditioning."
Sports isn't the only place where New
Yorkers find the Big Apple superior to Bcan-
town. "Boston has the worst pizza
America," said Mascia. "They cut it into lit-
tle squares. How are you supposed to cat a
pizza if you can't hold it by the crust. You
just can't get good pizza outside New York."
Pizza's not the only non-sports area where
.
Boston is lacking - big time.
"You can't see a Broadway play in
Boston, and you can't get a goo pastrami on
rye," said Tom Hess, a senior from Teaneck,
N.J. "Let's face it: New York is the place
to be."

Dreaming,
the dream
of dreams
by
Wes Zahnke
After experiencing post-River
Day shock and withdrawal from
the weekend tailspin, I sat
around with a plastic fork at-
tached to my uvula and began
to ponder.
Always the intrepid thinker
who knows no bounds, I was
searching for truths.
Here I am, practically a
senior, single and eligible, living
with five cohorts in a house on
Talmedge St., wondering what
direction my life is going to
take.
What
is my American
Dream? Being a self-actualized
infant, complete with Mickey
Mouse sheets and a short atten-
tion span, I don't think I'll ever
calculate the proper fuel ratio
for a space shuttle.
After eliminating rocket
science from my list of choices,
l
can
now set my sights on other
goals.
For the record I've also cross-
ed out professional athletics,
lioo-taming and brain surgery.
I'm not in a rush; life's been
good to me so far.
Meals are not being missed,
bills are paid on time, and rare-
ly is a keg tapped that eludes my
reach.
I'm not the best guy in the
world, but I ain't so bad.

I look through the windows

cording to my neighbors.
Because we

Parties all seem to blend

from Wednesday
through Saturday without much

How many times can you
swing from the chandliers and
pour beer over each other's
heads?
I tend to do my best thinking
while eating a can of Finast
Pork & Beans, a panacea for all
the problems in the· world.
They put things into perspec-
tive for me and also provide
entertainment
for
my
housemates.
As the days go on and the
kegs continue, we aU are grow-
ing up.
Sure, we don't want to admit
it, so we drown ourselves in 30
beers or so, but we're all
growing.
Seniors are shedding tears,
and juniors are watching their
reactions, knowing full well that
will be them in one year.
Oh, I'm
not
going soft, just
thinking a bit. HeU, I love
swinging on chandeliers.

But, you know what I mean.
After all, we're only here for
four years, so live it up.

With one game remaining in the
season and two key wins last week.
the lacrosseteam still has a shot at
a .500 record.
The Red Foxes, 4-5, play host to
Knickerbocker Conference rival
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy
Saturday
after two straight
historical victories last week -
a
19-1 rout of Division II D,ow1ing
and a 15-9 victory over Siena. It
was the first time the Red Foxes
have beaten the Saints.
"We're playing our best lacrosse
right now." said Coach Mike
Malet. "(The Merchant Marine
Academy)
is
a strong opponent and
it is an important game for us. We
will have to play like we did
(against Siena) -
execute the of-
fense, keep our composure and
play str_ong defense."
Against Dowling on Saturday,
senior Peter Cleary set a Matist
record for most career points,
registering his 200th point on an
assist just under three minutes in-
to the second period. It was the
third of his team-high six points in
the game.
Kevin Eversen (one goal, two
assists), Alex Messuri (two goals,
one assist)' and Brian Hanifin (three
goals) each contributed in the win.
Robert Naylor scored in the third
period to give· Marist its first goal
by a defenseman this season.
Eveisen and Messuri each scored
a goal in the first two minutes of
the game and the Red Foxes never

looked back, rolling on to the
. 18-goal victory.
• Cleary broke the record of Lou
Corsetti who played football and
lacrosse
for
Marist
from
1978-1982.
"(Cleary)
has been a great player
for us for four years," said Malet:
"It's a fitting tribute to his ability."
-Marist outshot Dowling despite
stalling the offense so as not to run
up the score. The Red Foxes fired
49 shots on the net to Dowling's 10.
"I've been on the other side,"
said Malet. "There was nothing to
be gained by doing that (running
up the score)."
Del Ross led Dowling's offense,
taking six of his team's lO shots
and scoring its only goal just .1 :23
into the game.
Against Siena last Thursday, the
. Red Foxes came back from a one-
goal deficit and outscored the
Saints 4-2 in the third quarter and
5-0
in the fourth to earn the
victory.
"It
was a great step for the pro-
gram," Malet said. "We knew if
we played a great game we could
beat them.
"The most important thing was
that they (Marist) didn't get
frustrated when we were up by one
and (Siena) came back and went up
by two. We stayed in our offense
and ran it the way we planned."
Despite trailing 7-6 at the half,
Malet said the team kept up its
confidence.
~
"The kids played the game to
perfection," he said. "They ran the
offense patiently and played great
defense:"
The five-goal fourth quarter end-
ed a fourth quarter scoring drought
that had seen Marist score only two
goals in the last quarter this season.
Greg Kavovit and Christian King·
led the offense for the Saints with
four points each in th~ loss.
With a year of NCA:A
eligibility left, former Marist
basketball
player
Rudy
Bourgarel has decided to to
forego his senior year and enter
the NBA draft, according to
Associate
Coach
Bogdan
Jovicic.
.
Bourgarel,
a native , of
France, spent the past year ser-
ving in the French Army a~d
playing with a club team m
• France.
Because no teams have
scouted Bourgarel in France, his
only chance to be seen by the
NBA scouts
will be at a pre-
draft camp in Chicago the week
before the June
26
draft, accor-
~
ding to Jovicic.
"No scouts have seen him,"
Jovicic said. "But they have
received information about how
he has played."
Jovicic said it is hard to tell
how the scouts actually feel
because they tend to mask their
opinions.
"(The scouts) don't like
to
speculate," he said. "Some hide
their cards and play them on
June
26."
The
NBA
draft is only two
rounds long this year which
-means only 54 players will be
drafted. Those not drafted still
have an opportunity to be in-
vited

serious riding in
a safe way. you
might want to check out the
Mid-Hudson Bicycle Club.
The only cycling club in the
immediate area has more than
260 members and is always
looking for more, according to
Ema S. Wilcox who along with
her husband Bill have been in
charge of the club's membership
since 1979.
"We ride all over Dutchess

"and we have weekends away in

- is scheduled for Sept. 17. It
offers rides of
25-, 50-,

SUNY New
Paltz.
The rides may be done on
multiple speed racing cycles or
mountain bikes which have
become increasingly popular
during the past five years.
· The ride leader determines
the difficulty and length of the
ride, and a sag leader brings up
the rear of the group. Helmets,
water bottles and biking gloves
are recommended for all rides.
Paniers, packs that hang over
the rear tire, or backpacks are
suggested if you plan to pack a
lunch.
Rides are held at • various
levels, from A to D, with A be-
ing the fastest and longest and
D the slowest and shortest.
An A ride would cover 100
miles or more. travel at a rate
of 17 to 20 miles per hour, and
have one rest stop at about the
50-mile mark. A B ride covers
anywhere from 30

80 miles,
moves along at 12 to 15 mph
and has rest stops every 20 miles
or so.
AC ride t1sually covers 15 to

President's Cup
this Saturday
by Maureen Kramer
The 27th annual President's Cup
Regatta will be held this Saturday
on the Hudson River with a much
smaller field than in the past.
Previously as many as -12 to 15
schools came to Poughkeepsie for
the raee, but this year only the
University
of
Connecticut,
Lafayette, Lehigh University and
Dowling are coming to town, ac-
cording to crew Coach Larry
Davis.
"In the past four years bad
weather forced two cancellations of
the regatta. This year the Cham-
pionships in Albany are taking a lot
of the competition away," said
Donald Seals, novice women's
head coach.
Although so few will be atten-
ding it will still be a challenging
race, said Rachel Farrar, a member
of the crew team.
"We don't normally race these
teams so it's hard to know what to
expect," said Farrar.
"I think we'll
do pretty well though/'
