Safety a question
in Hudson water
by
Julie Cullinane
The water of the Hudson River
is
safe for drinking, but its fish are
contaminated
and unsafe for
eating, according to officials of the
Poughkeepsie
Water
Works
Department and Clearwater Sloop
Inc.
Thousands
of pounds
of
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
have have been discharged into the
Hudson by General Electric
manufacturing plants along the up-
per part of the river. The PCBs
settled at the bottom of the river
and have been eaten by non-
migrating
fish, according
to the
.
Department
of Environmental
Conservation.
The dumping of toxics into the
river is not illegal but the DEC
regulates the amount industries
can
discharge, said Haight.
The Department of Health and
Human Services has an advisory
for proportions of safe helpings on
each fish caught in the river. Still,
restaurants
in
the area are safe
because commercial fishing is il-
legal in this area, said Tony
Megargee, of the Hudson River
Maritime Center.
Since the water intake for
Poughkeepsie, located just beyond
the railroad tracks by the boat
houses, extends only 100 feet from
the shoreline and submerges only
40 feet, the PCBs at the bottom of
the river are not a factor in the
drinking water, according to
Ruggiero.
Solids are removed from the
water before it reaches the filtration
•
process at the plant. Chemicals are
added to clump together solid par-
ticles which forces· them.· to settle
out,
said Dennis Fairbanks, senior
operator at Poughkeepsie Water
Works.
Both chlorination and filtration
take place after the solids are sett!~
ed out, and they add hydrated lime
to bring up the pH level of the
water so it will not remove any par-
ticles of lead pipes found in many
homes in Poughkeepsie, Fairbanks.

Determination drives
Marist sophomore·
by
Maureen
Kerr
Sean Kelly has accomplished a
great deal in the past year. It used
to take him two hours to get from
one end of campus to the other,
now it only takes him 20 minutes.
"At first it took me two hours
to get across campus. It gets easier
each time. Pretty soon I'm going
to have to find a new challenge,"
said the sophomore from Monroe,
Conn.
Kelly is one of five students at
Marist with cerebral palsy, a
disease that causes paralysis of
muscle movement due to brain
damage. But he's not sulking - the
disease has only increased his
determination.
"It's just something I wake up
with every morning," said Kelly
who has battled the impaired mus-
cle control of his left side since
birth.
"It's
like having
a
hangover."
According to Diane Perreira,
director
of Special Services,
cerebral palsy affects each in-
dividual differently. Although it
does not interfere with intellectual
functioning, it affects muscle tone
and the ability of an individual to
control how their body works.
Until two years ago, Kelly spent
most of his time in a wheelchair.
Kelly said the urge to walk
began
when a high school friend en-
couraged him to become involved
in school activities.
"As I started to do more, I
discovered that using a wheelchair
was not the best way," he said. "I
was down and out. I called my
friend and told him I wanted to
walk."
This year Kelly said he is trying
to stay on his feet as much as possi-
ble. "I enjoy life more with my
walker," he said.
Kelly gets up extra early for class
to allow himself time to walk across
campus.
Chris Bautista, a sophomore
from Queens, N.Y., said when he
leaves for bis 8:15, he sees Kelly
walking to his 9:50.
•
Kelly said he no longer practices
walking, but is working on building
his muscles.
"I have total use of my legs, I
just use them in a different way,"
he said. "Six legs are better than
two."
Kelly, who applied to live in the
Gartland Commons Apartments,
said living on the North End of
campus keeps his motivation going.
"Champagnat would have made
life easier, but I wanted to be with
my friends," he said. "They're
here,
so
I'm here."
According to Perreira, Kelly's
persistence to be independent has
confused a number of people at
Marist.
"People
see
him walking across
campus and
they want
to know
why we aren't doing something to
help him.
They
think we're ncglec-

ting him, but we're not."
Kelly, who also works as a reader
for Special Services, said it is up to
the individual to. decide if they want
to take advantage of the resources
the office offers.
"They (the counselors) are not
there to spoon feed you," he said.
"Sean's chosen not to take ad-
vantage of a lot of our resources,''
said Perreira. "And he doesn't
want to use an electronic
wheelchair to get to class. He wants
to make his own decisions on how
to conduct his life. It's his right."
Jeff DeZago, a counselor for
Special Services, said Kelly raises a
lot of questions from people
because he doesn't fit society's im-
age of a disabled person.
DeZago said people on campus
need to get to know the students
as
individuals, not just as disabled
people.
"I present myself in the same
way I perceive myself - as a nor-
mal person,"-said Kelly. "I hope
other people feel that way, too.

TKE ''Meet'' Market
mak,es juicy profit
by Holly
·Gallo
F.orget1'hellating Gatne. Nix The Love Connection. Marist's answer
to :loneliness
.came
around for
,the
second time last week.
Amid
·the
pulsating
·beat
of rap music, Tau Kappa Epsilon kicked off
its
-second
.annual
"Meet Market"
.(not
"meat") on Sept. 24.
The "market" featured 21 guys and 20 girls who volunteered to be
auctioned off for a,date to make·money forTKE, said Pat Reilly, presi-
dent of TKE at Marist.
Reilly, a junior from Massapequa Park, N:Y., explained that recruiting
people for the event
was
fairly simple.
"We walked around and got volunteers,"
·he
said. "They were pretty
willing once we explained that it would be in good taste and fun." Reilly
added that most
.of
the volunteers involved had participated in similiar
fundraisers
in
high school.
Not only was the number of participants and audience members im-
pressive, but so was the amount .co11ected
from bids, which was $1,430 .
at press time, according to Reilly.
"This was-more-successful
than last year's," Reilly said. "It's the most
(the turnout) I've seen in my three years here."
The event took place in the cafeteria, which looked more like a movie
studio than the distributor of such cuisine as cornflakes and bologna,
with huge lights shining centerstage.
At 9:30 p.m. a veritable hoard of 540 students lined up outside of the
cafeteria - with the line winding up the stairs and into the Campus Center
breezeway -
to pay the
$1
admission.
•
Inside, members of TKE prepared for the start, organizing cards with
infonnation on each individual, such as names, hobbies and dreams, while
the frenzied masses waited anxiously for
.the
first bid.
The master of ceremonies,
Mike
Martin, a sophomore from Saratoga
Springs, N.Y., vicariously announced the start and introduced Reilly,
who read some general rules of the event, "so that no one gets offended
or doesn't have a good time."
The rules stipulated that anyone sold has "the responsibility to follow
through with the date, which will be just that, a date. Nothing else is
guaranteed by TKE," according to an informal disclaimer.
Also, it's up to the buyers to contact their respective dates.
Attire for those being auctioned off ran the gamut from jackets and
silk ties to day-glow mini skirts -
female participants only -
to tat-
tered sweatshirts.
Junior Joe Faraldi, from Cresskill,
N.J.,
was
sporting a nervous grin.

Shopping for a bank could save you money
Should the Bank of N. Y.
be the bank
for
you?
by Debra McGrath
Too often, college students and
their money are soon parted. With
the right bank, however, students
could hang on to their money a lit-
tle longer.
.
A comparision of area banks
shows that Beacon Federal Savings
in Hyde Park and Albany Savings
in the Poughkeepsie Galleria offer
some of the best deals on checking
and savings accounts.
Among some of the advantages
of Beacon Feder _'s checking ac-
count, therr are
1 ,
service charges
and the fir
50 checks are free.
And' at I bany Savings, the
passbook s, ings account pays in-
terest on a. counts with balances
over $100 and only charges $1
when the acwunt drops below $50.
Beacon Federal is located just
past the Champion Outlet. In ad-
dition to no service charge and 50
free checks, no. minimum balance
is required. Another type of check-
ing account at Beacon Federal pays
5 percent interest on any account
with more than $300. With this
type of checking, a $5 monthly fee
is charged if the balance falls below
$300.
.
A $100 balance must be main-
tained at Beacon Federal or $2 per
month will be charged. This savings
account at Beacon Federal pays 5.5
percent if the balance is more than
$300.
Like Beacon Federal, Albany
Savings offers two types of check-
ing accounts. There is no interest
on a regular checking account
which must maintain a daily
balance of $250 or $5 per month
will be deducted. There is ·a per
check fee of 15 cents and checks
cost $8. Albany's NOW checking
pays 5.25 percent on accounts that
have over $100 at the end of the
month, but will charge $5 if the
average daily balance falls below
$500.
Albany Savings also has two
types
of savings
accounts.
Passbook gains 5.5 percent in in-
terest. Albany's statement savings
also earns 5.5 percent but, the
minimum balance to avoid a $3 a
month service charge is
$500.
The Poughkeepsie Savings Bank,
in the ShopRite shopping center in
Hyde Park, offers a personal
checking account applicable to
students. For personal checking a
$6 monthly fee will be charged if
the balance is less than $249.99. A
$4
fee will be charged if the balance
is between $250 and $749.99. There
is no monthly charge for a balance
more than $750. Checks cost $8
and there is no per check fee.
The Mid-Hudson savings bank
offers 5.25 percent interest with
their NOW checking account, but
a $5.00 fee will be charged if the
balance is less than $1,000. Like
most banks Mid-Hudson offers an
A TM card. But cardholders who
use ATM machines anywhere other
than at Mid-Hudson, regardless of
Cirrus or Nyce, will be charged $1.
Mid Hudson offers 5.5 percent in-
terest on its savings account which
·must maintain a $100 balance or $2
a month will be charged.
Convenience is important, but it
could be costly. A checking ac-
count at the Bank of New York,
the bank on campus, requires a
minimum balance of $1,000 or a
service of $6 a month will be charg-
ed. Basic
blue
checks cost $12 at the
Bank of New York.
-At the Bank of New York a $200
balance is required to avoid a ser-
vice charge of $1.50 per month.
Statistics may seem cumber-
some, but they can save you
money.

Po 'town, Tinseltown to connect
with help of local dance club
Parents Weekend provides
food, fun for participants
by Ann
Timmons
If you break a leg in Poughkeep-
sie you could end up in Hollywood
as
a movie star.
A Hollywood Calif. production
company, with the help of Berties
nightclub in Poughkeepsie, m~y
give local talents the break they
have been waiting 'for.
. • As part of a nation~wide talent
search, Berties, located on Liberty
Street, is hosting a competition
during the next two months that
will send two local amateurs on an
all-expense paid trip to Hollywood,
Calif. where they will get a shot at
the silver screen.
American Independent Produc-
tions has launched a coast-to-coast
search to cast the major motion
picture "Stardancer,"
which is
scheduled to be filmed at the end
of January 1990 in New York City
and later in Hollywood.
The beauty competition will be
held Thursday nights at Berties
from Oct. 12 to Nov. 16., and the
final beauty competition will be on
Nov. 30. The dance competition
will be every Saturday night from
Oct. 14 through Nov. 18, with the
finals on December 2.
The competition has stretched
across 150 cities, among whi~h
Poughkeepsie and New York City
are the last two stops.
The two winners -
one for
beauty and one for dance - must
be
from Dutchess, Ulster or
Orange County.
Winners could play smaller~
such as a contestant competing
with the main character in the
dance and beauty scenes, or they
could get the lead role.
"Stardancer" is based on a true
story and centers on a small-town •
girl who seeks stardom with the
help of her manager/lover.
Linda Meadows, a wholesome
and attractive 18-year-old, leaves
behind her small, rural southern
town in search of opportunity and
adventure. She meets up with char-
"In our business
we promote fun, and
this was a great op-
portunity that we
wanted to take ad-
vantage of.''
ming, free-spirited and handsome
Tony Corado, who recognizes her
talent and encourages her to pur-
sue dancing.
On her way to the top, Linda
becomes star-struck, cold and
selfish
and
Tony
becomes
alienated, hurt and rejected. They
split up, Linda's career plummets
and Tony's goes nowhere. But, in
the end, they re-unite and try it
again.
Director James
P. Blake chose to
conduct the cross-country search,
"because there is a lot of talent out
there that never has the chance to
make it to Hollywood - and here
is the chance," Blake said, in a
pro-
motional videotape for the movie.
Either Producer/Director James
P. Blake or Choreographer Nancy
Gregory will be present at the final
competitions to make their choices.
Berties
owner,
Albert Stortini
said he
is pleased that Poughkeep-
sie
talent will
be sought and that
Berties
can
pr.ovide the
vehicle.
"In our business we promote
fun,
and this was
a great oppor-
tunity that we wanted to. take
ad-
vantage of,"
said Stortini.
Anyone currently residing
in the
·three counties, including
college
students, are eligible, said Kathy
Ingoglia, a Berties spokesperson.
"I
expect that there is a lot of
talent in the colleges since the
students are from all over," In-
goglia said.
,
lngoglia guessed that the
film
might match the earlier successes of
dance films like "Flashdance" and
"Dirty
Dancing."
"After all, everybody loves to
dance or to watch it," she said.
During the nights of the competi-
tion, Berties will provide closed-
circuit televisions located
in the
nightclub so patrons will be able to
view the competitions held
on the
downstairs dance floor.
Anyone interested in entering the
dance or beauty competition
should call Berties at

It was a special opportunity for students and their parents to get
together and enjoy music, comedy, sports and food at Marist Col-
lege's annual fall Parents Weekend.
The weekend, planned by the Offices of College Activities and Stu-
dent Affairs, began Friday at 9 p.m. with the Brubeck/La~erne
Jazz
Trio providing sophisticated music to 165 students and their parents.
Guitarist Roy Atkinson entertained everyone in the River Room
at
10
p.m. A free reception, in the Fireside Lounge, followed and lasted
until
I
a.m.
A sold-out brunch was held Saturday morning in the River Room.
· Sports enthusiasts watched two women's volleyball games and a
men's soccer game.Saturday afternoon.
The
Marist
women beat Vassar College, but lost to Fordham
University.
' The soccer team beat Oneonta State University 2-1 in overtime on
Marist's Leonidoff Field.
Parents, students, faculty and staff gathered in the Campus Center
Dining Room at 9 p.m. for an evening of music and dancing com-
plete with Viennese food tables.
The Office of College Activities declined comment on the exact
amount of people in attendance ?.,t the dinner or on any other details
about the weekend.
•
Other guests went to the River Room to laugh it up for 90 minutes
during a comedy show.
The weekend came to a close with a Sunday morning liturgy in the
Chapel.
Father Benedict D' Alessandro said attendance for the mass was the
best he had ever seen since the College began holding Parents
Weekend.
The mass was followed by a continental breakfast in the Campus
Center Dining Room.

Crackdown strands
students jn dorms
by Nathan J. Robinson
Where's the party?
.
Students asking that question are
finding that the answer is not the
banks of the Hudson River or a
house off-campus, but rather their
own dorm rooms.
With
the
police/Marist
crackdown on off-campus parties
and Marist Security's authorization·
.
to enforce college rules at the river,
underclassmen are rapidly losing
places to congregate and socialize.
N. Y.,
was
sympathetic towards the
situation underclassmen are facing.
He said things were easier when he
was an underclassman and could
attend keg parties at the river and
"the hill", located next to St. Fran-
cis Hospital.
McEneany said he was disap-
pointed because the number of off-
campus parties has declined since
the first week of school because of
the crackdown by the City of
Poughkeepsie Police.
"Partying is a big part of being at college."
As a result, they are turning to
the dorms as their main "party
spots," and running the risk of
breaking Marist's strict alcohol
policy.
According to freshman Brian
McEneany, a psychology major
from
Madison,
N.J.,
the
underclassmen feel it is easier to
·smuggle
a few beers into the dorms
and drink among a
small
group of
people than risk wasting money on
off-campus or river parties that
might get broken up by the police
or Marist Security.

Although most underclassmen
have been able to get around
Marist's alcohol rules thus far,
McEneany said he does not know
haw long they will be so fortunate.
However, there is hope for the
underclassmen and their declining
social events because partying is a
given at colleges everywhere, Wolfe
said.
Wolfe said no matter what
Marist administration thinks about
its students and their partying
habits, "partying is a big part of
being in college and will continue
to
be a big part of being in col-
lege."

Workshop encourages student.leadership
by Jennifer Becker
A student workshop last Satur-
day told student leaders to take
more responsibility in making the
Marist College community better,
according to Kelly Darcy, one of
the orgaizers of the workshop and
residence director at the Canter-
bury Garden Apartments.
The Resident Students Council
Leadership
Development
Workshop featured guest speakers
who gave advise on leadership,
time management, motivation and
problem solving.
•
"Whenever we're going to pro-
vide some sort of leadership, there
is a need for knowledge," Gerry
Cox, vice president of student af-
fairs, said. "There are three kinds
needed to be effective leaders: self
knowledge, knowledge of fellow
students and knowledge of the en-
vironment," Cox said.
Cox also told students to ask
"who am I" and to believe in the
answers they receive. He urged
students to use and analyze their
experiences· to make qualitative
decisions.
•
Steve Sansola, director of hous-
ing,
urged students to develop both
socially and morally.
"Rise to the challenge and be a
successful leader, have knowledge
of your self, the system and your
constituents,"
Sansola
said;
"Listen to your fellow students and
•
challenge them. Learn how to ad-
vocate for the students."
The Resident Student Council
organizes various activities and
programs and brings about change
in the college community by work-
ing with the administration in a
democratic way.
.
Cox said that students are the
motivating force behind change,
and the administration cannot be
blamed for all problems. The
students must get involved respon-
sibly, according to Cox.
Sansola outlined a method to
achieve goals. "Be organized and
be visible," he said.
"You
are ac-
countable for your actions and you·
must admit and correct mistakes."
According to Sansola, the coun-
cil is here to make a difference
through sensitivity toward the
needs of both the students and
staff.
Peter Ainato, assistant dean of
•
student affairs, concluded the
workshop with his key suggestions
for good leadership. "Be yourself,
be aware of the institution, be pro-
ud and be daring," Amato said.

Skateboarding hits Marist
by Christine Marotta
Nathan Robinson pirouettes off
the swimming pool wall in a
graceful carve that sends the blood
rushing through his veins. For a
moment, his head rushes with the
intoxication.
As it does for a few hardcore
skateboarding fanatics at Marist
College. For them, life is at the
edge of control.
"It's that rush of adrenalin when
you get flowin' into a session that
always gets me psyched," said
Robinson, a sophomore from
Glens Falls,
N. Y.
Skateboarding has resurfaced on
the East Coast and students at
Marist are following the trend.
Each enthusiast attested to skating
for personal reasons but all agreed
to one thing -
they're addicted.
Robinson began skateboarding
about two years ago after he broke
his collarbone while racing bikes -
and has been hooked ever since.
"I had skated a little before that, •
but it was then that I really began
using my skateboard," he said.
Sophomore Rob Gage from
Walton,
N.Y.,
got hooked eight
years ago when he traded some
bike parts for an old board.
"I use skateboarding as a way to
relax," Gage said, "it's also a great
way for people to get out a lot of
aggression."
Gage,
as
well as other
skateboard junkies, agree that
skateboarding is a sure means of
transportation.
'' Although
I
don't use my boaTd
to get to classes now, I would if I
were living off-campus. It is con-
venient to take on buses, leave in
the cafeteria and it's twice as fast
as walking," Gage said.
But
transportation
via
skateboard
is limited by the
weather.
"I skateboard to relax and for
the challenge,"
said Michael
Siciliano, a freshman communica-
tion arts major from Valley
• Stream,
N. Y.
"I try to skate as
much as possible but up here it
hasn't been as frequent, because of
the weather," Siciliano said.
Freshman Don Barbour, from
Bayport,
N.Y.,
started skateboar-
ding when he was a high school
sophomore. "I thought it was just
a fad in the beginning but now I
know I'm hooked," he said.
Barbour
and Chris Leach
sometimes
hit the concrete
together.
Leach, a freshman communica-
tion arts major from Riverside,
Conn., began skateboarding when
he was in the eighth-grade. "My
neighbor had this cheesy board and
I cruised on it a little," Leach said,
"I've been addicted ever since."
Although Leach doesn't skate to
classes, he does however, skate as
much as he can. "I skate approx-
imately four days a week, mostly
on weekends," Leach said.
Depending of the type of skating
-
whether it be pools or ramps,
half-pipers or street skating -
some skaters found that more than
just one board is required.
"There are different skateboards
for different terrain," Leach said.
According to Gage, different
skateboard wheels have different
surfaces. "You have to keep trying
different equipment until you find
what you like," Gage said.
"I have two boards -
one for
pools and ramps and the other for
street skating," Robinson said.
"If
I'm skating continuously a deck
will last me a little over a month."
Robinson, Gage, Barbour and
Leach also are actively involved in
what is known as pool skating. All
four skate in a drained-out swim-
ming pool in Poughkeepsie, and if
only for a while, lose themselves in
their skating.
"We skate the pool whenever we
can," Gage said.
The pool in which they perform
their basic carving and slides is 11
feet deep with a 4-foot vertical. All
four need to take extra caution
though, due to the drain in the
center of the pool.
If
their boards
get stuck in it they will get wet and
warped, not to mention the fact
that such an incident will bring the
riders closer to the cement lining
than they would prefer.
Pool skating offers riders a
challenge and diversity from other
riders. "Everybody can draw a dif-
ferent line when they skate pools,"
Robinson said.
Now that the season is changing
and the weather is getting colder,
dedicated skateboarders find ways
to accommodate.
"There are some indoor ramps
for us to use,'' said Robinson,
"you can also street skate when the
snow melts. \ snow board in the
wintet: because \ use a lot of the
same moves as skateboarding."
He,s way too young to be such an old fogey
. Please allow me to apologize for
being serious last week. I don't
know what I was thinking.
I guess I'll just revert to my lame
attempts at humor, always trying
not to offend anyone.
Yeah.
Sometimes I just sit back and say
to myself, "Guy, you are getting
old."
Take this Saturday. Saturday has
always been the day I allow myself
to cut loose and break from the
rigid West Pointish regimen of
structure and order that comprise
my daily routine.
Hey, even God took a rest on the
seventh day. I figure that six days
a week, eight hours a day is just the
right amount of stud)ing.
Time was when a man could
awake on a Saturday, find himself
lying on the floor of the library,
where he passed out from exhaus-
tion, gather his belongings and
head to the parties.
These parties were never in off-
campus houses though; far be it for
any of us cherubims to offend the
pleasant,
decent
people
of
Poughkeepsie.
These parties were usually
located in the high reaches of the
Adirondacks,
far away from
people.
Actually, we all had to hire
Eskimo guides and a fleet of Ski-
Doos just to find these hideaways.
The point of this madness is my
young, spry, vivacious self used to
have the stamina for a marathon
day of socializing.
Time was irrelavent and the
energy level was always there.

A

maintain our sanity during the tur-
bulent years of our youth.
Now, it's a different story.
Waking at noon or beyond,
followed by group therapy sessions
on the front stoop with lots of java
and perhaps the newspaper, are
now the norm.
This takes a chunk out of your
day, and when you realize that you
are awake, it's time to make din-
ner or do something responsible,
like a wash.
That's right campers, a wash.
This past saturday morning I was
attacked on all sides, by my killer
undies and his fellow apparel
assassins.
The clothes literally jumped out
of the laundry basket, broke down
the bedroom door and stunk me
out.
I submitted and scooped up my
clothes with the engine hoist I bor-
rowed from my neighbor, Mr.
Sanford.
The dump truck was quietly
waiting outside my window as I
gingerly lowered the clothes into
the back of the truck.
I then removed my economy 18
gallon drum of Tide from the closet
and was on my way.
The Laundromat on 9G was the
destination, where they have ~ood
machines and beautiful tee shirts
for only $5.
The clientele is the upper crust of
society, and as I pulled my Italian
sports car into the lot, I was soon
surrounded by more European cars
than the eye could behold.
I soon had the wash doing the
cycle, but realized how thirsty I
was.
We headed up to the old Rain-
bow Room where trying to con-
verse with the barkeep was like ex-
tracting the larynx from a mule
with a spatula.
Returning to the Mat, our
clothes were drying and so were we.
Happy with the feeling of ac-
complishment, we headed home to
pop some Geritol and rub in the
Grecian Formula.
Mid-life crisis dead ahead.

A gOod time
without alcohol
It was one of those rare, low-overhead, successful, non-
alcoholic social events on campus, and the credit goes to the
members of Tau Kappa Epsilon.
Last week's "Meet Market" - not "meat," they insist - at-
tracted 540 students, an unusually high number for an on-campus
event. Considering alcohol was not a factor, the success of the
"market" creates bright prospects for more popular events on
campus this year.
With the absence of alcohol, the event was catered to another
popular pastime, dating. Forty-one students volunteered to be auc-
tioned off as dates. The price of admission, $1, allowed shop-
pers to bid for· their dream dates -
or the best substitutes
available.
Despite its tacky premise, the "market" was so well-organized
it did not appear degrading or discriminatory towards anyone.
The auction provided a balanced offering of male and female
volunteers. And the TKE president, Pat Reilly, issued a disclaimer
before the auction warning that nothing more than a date was
guaranteed.
For shoppers, the final analysis may wait upon the success of
their date. For some volunteers, the inability to command the price
they thought they were worth may have been an exercise in
humility.
But for TKE, success can be measured in a $1400 profit and
a good time for those involved.
Still, one thing remains puzzling: high hopes, deep pockets or
desperation, but $68 for a date?

Kelly gets up for his 9:50 class before most of us would bother .-~-------------------------------------'
getting up for an 8:15. We can sprint across campus five minutes
before class - or better yet drive there - but Kelly doesn't have
that \uxucy,
He
can?t run. In fact, he can barely walk.
1
Yet Kelly, who was born with cerebral palsy, refuses to use a
wheelchair. Instead, he travels with six legs - two belong to him
and four to his walker.
We should all think about Kelly when we're tempted to suc-
cumb to adversity. About 50 freshmen leave Marist every year
because they can't take handle their living arrangements or worse
yet -
they're cut from a team.
But Kelly doesn't believe in excuses. He's interested in an educa-
tion -
something about college that we tend to forget.
On Monday, when most of us were dodging the raindrops with
our oversize umbrellas, Kelly was slowly walking to class. He was
soaked by the time he reached his destination. Some call him
crazy, we call him courageous.
.
For Kelly, all this activity is leading toward a final goal that
we take for granted. On his graduation day, Kelly says he wants
to walk unassisted down the aisle to get his dilemma. Talk about
a true accomplishment.

Bitsh is taxing
our trust
Welcome to a place where the
way to protect rights is to restrict
them, where the way to win a war
is to spend less money than your
opponent and where the way to
help the poor is to give more money
to the rich.
Welcome to George Bush's
mind.
It may seem that I'm picking on
the president, .but hey, with the
flag-burning issue, the pseudo-war
on drugs and now the capit~ gains
tax cut
as
material, how's a colum-
nist to resist?
Yes, last week the House of
Representatives voted 239 to 190 in
favor of a bill that will cut the tax
on capital gains (income from the
sale of stocks, bonds, real estate,
livestock and some other raw
materials) from 33 percent of the
sale to 19.6 percent.
Since people in low income
brackets tend not to own livestock
and real estate, this measure, if
adopted by the Senate, would result
in a windfall of profits for the rich
in this country.
Bush, who made the tax cut one
of the main issues in his November
campaign, apparently thinks that if
he gives more money to the rich,
the poor in this country will
benefit.
Now when
it comes
to
economics, I am a self-declared
amateur. My favorite line has
always been Pat Buchanan's com-
ment that he didn't object to the
tenn "voodoo economics" because
it was inaccurate, but because it
was redundant.
Forgetting for the moment that
Bush was the one who invented the
term "voodoo economics," one
still has
to
see that in the capital
gains tax cut, the president has em-
barked on an economic path that
would make Doug Henning
jealous.
The president's strategy seems to
be that if you give more money
to
the
rich,
they
will
in
tum
invest
that
Paul O'Sullivan
Thinking
between
the
lines
money back into the economy and
keep America healthy.
But the last time I checked, the
Pope was still Catholic and hell had
yet to freeze over. The rich are
bound to be greedy because human
nature dictates it. The poor would
be greedy too, except they have
nothing to be greedy with.
The ugly truth is that the minute
the economy shows signs of
weakening, the wealthy philan-
thropists that Bush is counting will
grab their windfall profits and run
straight to Switzerland.
And the economy will weaken.
What the president seems to be
forgetting is that economics, like
political viewpoints, tend to swing
back and forth. There are good
times and there are bad times. Of
course we shouldn't be defeatist
and work not to have a recession.
By the same token, we should not
delude ourselves that we can
guarantee everlasting economic
prosperity, by allowing the up-
perclass to live on the backs of mid-
dle class taxpayers.
With that in mind, what sense
does it make to line the pockets of
the rich to keep the economy go-
ing when hard times are inevitable?
Does the magic behind voodoo
economics last?
The truth is that the capital gains
tax cut represents yet another at-
tempt to put a smile on America's
economic woes. Bush and his pals
are telling the country that there is
an easy way out, that hard pro-
blems don't necessarily require
hard solutions.
The way things are going, the
next genera_tion
will grow up think-
ing the
"E
Pluribus Unum" on
their money means "Don't Worry,
Be Happy."
To Bush's credit, no one else has
come up with anything better to
help the economy. The Democratic
leaders in Congress couldn't even
keep their party together on the
capital gains tax cut. As a result,
many Democrats voted with Bush
and the Republicans, giving the
president the votes he needed to
push his program through.
It
would seem that there is no
one in government who can
counter Bush's contention that we
can keep prosperity alive with mir-
rors and good intentions. The
Democrats are spinning their
wheels looking for a message. Ap-
parently, it's not enough anymore
to simply say what you mean and
mean what you say.

r, I ~onder when the realization came to them that these par-
ties were

existence to such a degree. In fact, it is my belief that we
naughty children have been enjoying ourselves for quite some time.
I am extremely perplexed at the thought that the police department
gives more attention to Marist students than it does to the narcotics en-
trepreneurs that embellish this city.
Being an off-campus resident last year, I noticed a lovely two-story
house on Noxon Street that entertains a multitude of local residents.
Shows included gun fights, fistfights (with weapons), drug sales and use,
and a variety of dialogues that displayed many creative uses of the English
language. Ail encore performance could always be counted on.
I must say that the police were in the audience every so often. One
of two police cars would arrive to calm the over-zealous participants and
then depart to more pertinent duties (such as college parties).
In contrast, I have seen four, maybe five cars (including a paddy wagon)
arrive at the households of ill-reputed and belligerent college students
who were playing their music too loud and swimming in a river of Meister
Brau.
I do not deny that we have a responsibility to the community and we
should respect the needs and wishes of our neighbors by knowing when
enough is enough. The Marist administrators are right to support the
general concern of the community.
However, I cannot take the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department
serious when their priorities are in a state of confusion. Therefore, I
can-
not respect the manner in which the administration deals with the students,
treating them as though they are babes in the woods.
If you want adults, then treat us as if you believe we are adults and
not just money in the pockets of the college. I require recognition of
my puberty.

Saturday
night
was
a
night
for
laughs
Ed McGarry
It's
a
little
known
fact
that ...
Ya' know, when you have in°
somnia for a week, get so violent-
ly sick that you miss work, sleep
through a Friday night and then to
top the week off your car breaks
down, there is not much that can
make you laugh.
But there was one thing that was
able to make me laugh, as it always
used to.
That thing was the Saturday
Night Live 15th Anniversary
Special.
I missed the show when it
originally aired two Sundays ago
(I'm getting cable this week so get
off my back), but I finally got to
slip into.my little Saturday Night
Live dream world this past
weekend and man, was it worth the
wait.
After not being around Saturday
Night Live for a while, I had
almost forgotten what it was like.
It brought back some real fond
memories.
It has been a long time since I
had Dan Aykroyd try to entice me
into ordering the "Bass-0-Matic"
so I could tum any six-inch bass in-
to a quick and tasty fish shake.
It has also been a while since I've
taken a number at the Samurai
Delicatessen or been forced to eat
a "Cheebuger" instead of eggs for
breakfast.
How I miss hanging out in Mr.
Robinson's
Neighborhood
or
listening to Rosanne Rosannadan-
na tell me about
a
little piece of
broccoli stuck in someone's tooth.
Those were the days.
Or Garrett Moms' singing: "I'm
gonna get me a shotgun and kill all
the whities I see" at the tryouts for
a prison production of "Gigi".
Offensive? No, not if you simp-
ly take it for what it is.
And, oh yes, the memories of
Aykroyd referring to Jane Curtin
as "Jane, you ignorant slut." Or
what about Bill Murray and Gilda
Radner as two nerdy high school
kids laughing hysterically at the
refrigerator repairman (Aykroyd)
as the crack of his butt showed as
he bent over to get a better look at
the fridge.
Immature? Sure, but what's
wrong with that every once in a
while?
And oh, Ed Grimley and I were
so infatuated with Pat Sajak. Still
are as a matter of fact.
I had almost forgotten how
much it hurt when Chevy Chase
and I used to "do the fall" at the
beginning of every show. Still, that
was nothing compared to Billy
Crystal, Christopher Guest and I
sticking
carving knives under each
others fingernails. Oh, I hate when
that happens.
Doug and
Wendy Whiner
and I
haven't
complained about our
restaurant reservations for quite a
while
now.
Boy,
do I miss the how
they
were
always
able
to pick
me
up when
I
was feeling
down.
I
remember all of the times
Con-
nie Conehead and I
used to sneak
back stage so Beldar and Primat
wouldn't see
us
drinking six-packs
and tossing the "senso-rings." We
almost
got caught so many
times.
I
cannot even count the times
Laraine Newman and
I
fell for the
"I'm just a dolphin" trick when it
was actually the "Land Shark."
Gosh, were we dumb.
But still, the "Not Ready for
Prime Time Players" were always
there when
I
needed them.
Like Hanz and Franz who
"pumped me up" when
I
was feel-
ing weak or the "Church Lady"
who helped me "Say No to Satan"
when
I
was tempted. Or even the

Road trips require music
that drives the beat home
"It
was a beautiful day; the
sun beat down. I had the radio
on. I was driving."
Tom Petty said it, not me. A
simple line from "Running
Down a Dream" that makes me
wonder: what would driving be
without a car stereo? Absolute
misery, that's what .
When it comes to cars, some
people worry about piddly little
things like gas economy, handl-
ing, suspension and an engine.
As long as it's got a decent
stereo, I'll take it.
Music often sets the pace of
my driving, which mighfinterest
those vulture cops lurking in
dark, mysterious speed traps.
I'm not saying that I recklessly
careen out of control into
crowds and stray kittens when
a song like "Running Down a
Dream" comes on the radio,
but my tendency is to drive to
catch up with the beat.
In fact, when I recall the
events that led up to my last two
speeding tickets, I remember I
was listening to "Hallelujah
Here She Comes" by U2 before
one and the Who's "Baba
O'Reily" before the other. I had
a third speeding ticket, but I
can't remember the song I was
listening to at the time. Let's
just
assume
it
wasn't
"Daybreak" by Barry Manilow
or any- thing by Pat Boone.
(They'd have found me snooz-
ing behind the wheel.)
A good song is a good song
no matter where it's played, but
to be a good driving song, it's
got to
be
something more. -To
borrow a word from Creedence
Clearwater Revival, it helps if
the beat is "chooglin' ". You
know the type -
call it the
rhythm of a horse at full gallop.
• Songs like the Kinks' "Vic-
toria" or Canned Heat's prized
"Goin' Up the Country" fit the
mold perfectly. (Be cautious of
pedestrians when you hear these
in residential areas. Nothing
spoils a nice drive more than
vehicular manslaughter. And
stay sober.)
I'm convinced that some
songs were written to be heard
only in cars. Take "Mobile" by
Kieran Fagan
In
your
ear
the Who: it probably shouldn't
be heard at speeds under forty
miles an hour, and should you
ever hear this song while you're
stuck in traffic, shut it off
immediately.
The same goes for the Eagles'
"Life in the Fast Lane" and
Golden Earring's
"Radar
Love." (Which was recently
covered by one of those glam
rock aluminum
hairspray
bands. Motley Poison Boys or
whoever they are. Get real,
guys.) When in heavy traffic, be
sure to blast James Taylor's
"Damn This Traffic Jam" for
all the h.ighway to hear.
Songs about travelling usually
make for solid driving tunes.
The Pretenders' "Thumbelina"
tells you plainly: "What's im-
portant here today/ The broken
line on the highway." This is a
song that has its priorities
straight.
"Born to be Wild" is a must
for any driver. In fact, since it
was heard in "Easy Rider," it
has arguably
become the
ultimate driving tune, for the
"true nature's
child" in a\\
of
us.
And
let's
not forget.Chuck
Berry's "No Particular Place to
Go," which reminds us that seat
belts are a mixed blessing.
For those of you who are a
bit more adventurous (read:
deranged), you may get into the
Sugarcubes' "Motorcrash" or
Dave Edmunds'
"Crawling
From the Wreckage." Just be
sure to have the proper wild-
eyed crazed psychotic stare and
a healthy amount of froth
around your mouth when the
cop pulls you over for doing
eighty in a fifty-five. And for ef-
fect, refuse to turn your radio
down and laugh like a maniac.
By way of a song from the
Screaming Blue Messiahs, I feel
it's my civic duty to remind you
that it's "Fifty-Five: the Law."
There are plenty of great
mellow songs to listen to while
you
slowly
cruise
the
countryside.
Blind Faith's "Can't Find My
Way Home" puts you in a good
mood -
unless the lyrics are
pathetically accurate, in which
case you're probably in a panic
and should consider turning the
stereo off.
Others:
"Kahoutek"
by
R.E.M., Neil Young's "Are
You Ready for the Country"
and "Cinnamon Girl," "Mer-
cy Street" and "Solsbury Hill"
from Peter Gabriel, and "This
Time" from
INXS.
These should keep you within
the speed limit, but during these
quiet times don't listen to Sam-
my Hagar sing "I Can't Drive
Fifty Five." You'll just end up
in trouble.
Finally, there are certain
albums (okay, cassettes) that
I
rarely tire of on long drives.
A partial list of highly recom-
mended driving tapes would in-
clude "American Beauty" by
the Dead, CSN's "Deja Vu,"
U2's "The Joshua Tree," Led
Zeppelin III, and "Introducing
the Hardline According to
Terence Trent D'arby."
But
if
I were stranded on a
desert island with nothing
but
a
car (with stereo) and a few hun-
dred miles of road, and only
allowed to bring one single song
on the end\ess drive, it would
have to be the Pogues' "Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah."
It's that good.
So take that extra drive
around the parking lot to hear
the end of "Brown Eyed Girl,"
or "Rosalita,"
or "Dear
Prudence."
After all, without music,
driving would be just another
deadening,
mind-numbing,
monotonous chore. So keep on
chooglin'.

Rules and restrictions don't
make the grade with students
by
Mark Miller
I had a party Saturday night. It was busted. Oh well.
So we had a
keg,
so we had a few freshman involv-
ed
with
alcohol. It happens everywhere ... but not here
at
Marist.
It wasn't
such a big deal, you
know.
I mean, any
way you look
at it, I got loaded
Saturday
night.
Hav-
ing my keg taken away
didn't
stop my
desire to be in
a drunken stupor.
In fact,
I
was kind of
glad
the party
got busted. Sure
we owe the school
a
little
money and maybe we'll
be
on
probation but
big
deal. We
all had a good time.
And the people who stayed
and came back were our
friends anyway.
We
just snagged a
number of cases,
headed back to the house and drank
ro our
heart's
content, got kicked out of Skinner's and screamed and
hollered as much as our hearts desired at 5:30 in the
morning.
What seems shady to me is that we were louder at
5:30 a.m. then we were when the party got busted.
What's going on here? Anyway, inevitably
I
got load-
ed. We all did.
Sure, Marist can stop the drinking from going on
in one place but it still goes on on campus, only on
a smaller level.
What I'm basically saying here is that there are a
lot of things on campus that the school doesn't like
but are impossible tc, stop. One is drinking. Another
is sex.
Premarital sex is a given it seems at this school, the
proverbial Mattress College. The fact that condoms
are not available on campus is ridiculous. Is it because
we're a good, Catholic oriented school? It seems that
way.
Instead of shunning the student I would think that
Marist would take the opportunity to educate the stu-
dent by giving out pamphlets on safe sex, AIDS and
other diseases when a pack or two are bought at the
bookstore. I mean, why not take in the extra revenue?
Nobody's buying those other silly little things that say
Marist on them.
Back to drinking. It happens. It will continue to
happen. Wouldn't it be great if Marist adopted a clos-
ed door policy where you can drink from cans,
whatever, as long as you're not too rowdy? That way
you wouldn't have to go to off campus parties and
drive home drunk, get into an accident and possibly
die. Wouldn't that be fun?
What I'm proposing here won't happen at Marist
College during my stay or possibly forever. However,
until the school realizes that they must deal with our
stupid little needs such as these, there will continue
to be a great amount of apathy and bad morale. I
mean, you feel like a prison inmate sometimes getting
a little slap on the wrist.
Ah well, l got drunk anyway ... and CVS has con-
doms I guess. Marist, when are you gonna become the
liberal school I thought you were? Marist, I'm
embarrassed.

said.
Although the water
i,i;
safe for
drinking,
there are types of
pollutants other than PCBs that the
DEC is having trouble with.
Shane Mitchell, an assistant
engineer at the DEC in New Paltz,
said the Poughkeepsie Water
Department has a history of
violating water pollution control
laws, however, they are slowly but
surely cleaning up their act.
"The water department dumped
all of its sludge back into the river
once they separated it from the
water and treated it. We penalized
the department and gave them a
scheduled time to build a sewage
treatment plant in 1983'', Mitchell
said.
The DEC issued another
schedule to the water plant in 1985
because they did not meet the first
one, and they have since complied,
Mitchell said.
But, Mitchell added, the plant
still violates DEC's regulation
because a pipe leakage is pouring
into the river just beyond the
underpass
by the treatment
building.
Mitchell said the sewage treat-
ment plant, located on the river,
south. of Marist, is another long-
time violator of state regulations
regarding discharges into the river.
"Poughkeepsie is the only city or
town in Dutchess County that com-
bines its storm water and sewage
sewers," said Mitchell. "When it
rains, the untreated water runs in-
to the river, but in the past
Poughkeepsie's plant would bypass
the treatment plant during dry
weather."
According to John Sansolone,
senior engineer at DEC, in New
Paltz, another problem in the Hud-
son is non-point source pollution.
Non-point sources include storm
run-otf of backyard and golf
course ferti\iz.et, tioot.agricu\ture,
pesticides and poor construction

"I hope someone buys me," he said. "I just broke up with my girlfriend,
so ... "
Barton Steinborn, a sophomore from Manhattan, went for $60 early
in the auction, "a new Meet Market record," according to Martin, which
would be broken later in the evening.
"I
think it's a release, just making noise, kind of like a nightclub,"
Steinborn said.
Bids ran anywhere from about $6 to a $68 pinnacle.
Members of TKE were allowed to bid and be auctioned off along with
the
·rest
of those who participated.
Member Jeff Thibeault, a junior from Goshen, N. Y., was auctioned
off to the sound of The Doors' "People Are Strange." He went for $33.
Money made from the auction will go towards a "Red Carnation Ball,"
according to Reilly. This is a national TKE event which has not been
carried out at the Marist chapter yet, Reilly said.
Reilly came up with the idea of the "market" last year, "to raise funds
with no capital, and cure the sometimes incredible boredom on weeknights
at Marist," Reilly said.

Czech brothers who taught me how
to meet American chicks. We were
just a few wild and crazy guys.
As I awaken from my daydream
I look back on what a long great
trip it's been. SNL is one of the
first television shows I remember
watching and it also one I will never
forget. I grew up with SNL and am
still growing up with
it.
No, it is not
what it used to be, I realize that.
But today's new shows and reruns
and memories of yesterday's old
shows are enough to keep me
laughing forever. And that is all
that counts.
By the way, I read in a magazine
that doctors' research shows that
laughter not only lifts your spirits
but
can
also improve your immune
system. The 15th Anniversary
Special of SNL proved them right.
I
feel much better now.
And if I can borrow one last
thing from Dennis Miller: That's it
for my column, and I am outta
here.

• Rugby sports
by Ted Sharpenter
As they begin their new season,
the Marist College Rugby team is
determined to make some changes.
After losing eight heavy hitting
seniors to graduation, President
Steve Batta said the group is con-
centrating more on fundamentals
and "heads up" play.
"We no longer ·have the heavy
hitters· and power game,•' he said.
"We have to play smart and work
on ot~er aspects of the game."
The new con~epts appear to be
paying ofr: On· Saturday, the A-
team won 15-8, and the B-team
won 10-4 against Hunter College.
Batta scored 11 points and Phil
Frank added four. For the defense,
Tony Damore and Pete Gallo were

major contributors.
The changes continue off the
field. Batta said the team is trying
to improve its "bad boy" image.
"We feel the team needs more
brotherhood," he said. "There
needs to be a change from rebels
and bandits to an organized club."
- Two members were appointed to
take the place of graduated
officers.
Brendan Gallagher,' vice presi-
dent, feels these new appointments
will create a better atmosphere in
the club.
"With the addition· of Shamos
Barnes as treasurer and Frank
Romano as secretary, we should be
able to improve our team even
more," Gallagher said.

when John Gahan picked off a
Rodelbronn pass late in the fourth
quarter.
The tight defenses would not
allow any other sustained offensive
drives. The Red Foxes continued to
stop the opposition on the ground.
After allowing just 3 yards
rushing in its loss to St. Francis
(Pa.) on Sept. 23, Marist held FDU
to only 22 yards rushing.
Marist, however, gained only 37
yards on the· ground.
Rodelbronn gained 180 yards in
the air and O'Donnell threw for.
116 yards - completing 11 passes.
FDU hurt itself, though, by
committing 16 penalties -
11 in
the first half -
for 160 yards.
Pardy called FDU "the toughest
we have seen·- they were big and
physical." •
"The defense rose to the occa-
sion," he said. "When we needed
intensity, we had great intensity."
Pardy said he was optimistic
about his team's performance as he
continues to rebuild the program.
"A tie is better than a loss," he
said. "And we have three non-
losses after four games."

"He is the best teacher I've ever
played·under," he said. "He is an
excellent teacher and he knows his
stuff."
Mattice said his philosophy
behind coaching is simple.
"I like to work through the
players and use their strengths," he
said. "I like to be a players' coach
- anytime something is fun, don't
ruin it."
Mattice played collegiate hockey
at
RPI,
which he said had been his
boyhood dream.
"Hockey at RPI was much like
basketball here at Marist," he said.
• "It
was the big sport and to be part
.of the hockey team made you a 'big
man on campus' - rather, one of
20 'big men on campus."'
Mattice made the varsity team
his fresman year, the first year
freshmen were eligible to play
NCAA hockey.
"It was a thrill," he said. "I
don't think
I
could tell you about
any of the games -
I
was just
thrilled to be there."
For as exciting as it was, Mattice
said it did hve have its negative
side.
"Overall I had a great time at
RPI," he said. "But my junior year
we got a new head coach and his
basic
philosophy
was that
Americans could not play hockey."
Mattice is not the only change
the team has experienced. The Red
Foxes have moved up a division in
the Metropolitan
Collegiate
Hockey Conference -
which
means a more challenging schedule,
according to Walsh.
"The new division is going to be
much tougher this year," he said.
"People will notice a higher quali-
ty of play -
not the lopsided
games that we've won in the past."
"It's like a parallel to the foot-
ball team," said Steve Waryas.
"They've got their new head coach
and they're getting stronger - now
we've got ours."
Tryouts for this year's team
begin Friday and the Re.d Foxes'
first game is Nov.

for Homecoming
by Mike O'Farrell
For the second week in a row,
the Marist football team did not
win its game.
However, last Friday night the
Red Foxes did not lose either.
In a hard-fought, defensive
struggle, Marist and Fairleigh
Dickenson University (Madison,
N.J.) battled to a 10-10 tie.
The Red Foxes return home to
Leonidoff Field Saturday to face
Siena College after having spent the
last two weeks winless on the road.
Last year, Marist erupted against
the Saints scoring 42 points -
posting an easy 42-10 victory.
According to first-year coach
Rick Pardy, the Foxes are "look-
ing forward to coming home."
And well they should be.
Marist earned its first two wins
of the season at home before suf-
fering a loss and a tie on the road
in the next two games. The Red
Foxes' record now stands at 2-1-1.
Against FDU, the Red Foxes
found themselves up against their
toughest opponent of the year.
Marist and FDU were equally
matched on the defensive side of
the ball and both offenses struggl-
ed to put points up on the board.
The first quarter turned out to be
a foreshadowing of what was to
come as both defenses stalled ear-
ly drives and each team was forc-
ed to punt twice.
However, with 2:45 left in the
first quarter, FDU took over on the
Marist 40-yard line.
Two pass completions • from
Mark Rodelbronn to Dave Stewart
brought the Devils to the 5-yard
line at the end of the first quarter.
On the first play of the second
quarter, Paul Silvermann rambled
in from 3 yards out giving the
Devils a 6-0 · lead. The kick was
good, making it 7-0.
With 3:41 left in the first half,
the Red Foxes started to move.
On a third-and-ten situation,
FDU helped the cause with a 10
yard penalty. Quarterback Dan
O'Donnell then found Walter
Cook for a 12-yard gain.
Two plays later, O'Donnell toss-
ed the ball to freshman Scott
DeFalco for a 3-yard. touchdown
strike. Chris Douglas added the ex-
tra point to tie the. game at 7.
The touchdown ended a first-
half scoring skid for the Red Foxes.
It marked the the first time
Marist had scored in the first half
since the Red Foxes season opener

Hockey names new coach
by Jay
Reynolds
Recent turmoil in the ranks of
the Marist hockey team has
resulted in changes which have the
team looking forward to its upcom-
ing season with a new coach - and
a new direction.
Bob Mattice, a 37~year-old Troy
native, replaced John Lentz as head
coach of the Red Foxes this week
and said he is looking forward to
the new challenge. .
"It
feels good to be involved
with guys who can play this caliber
of hockey," he said.
"It
will be a
challenge, though, because I've
never coached college players -
only high school."
Mattice has spent the last three
years coaching hockey at Our Lady
of Lourdes High School in
Poughkeepsie -
including the
1986-87
season when the team·went
24-0.
Mattice, who said-he seen.many
of the Red Foxes' games over the
past two seasons, saidthe situation
he is entering at Marist_is
much like
the one he entered at Lourdes.
"It's just a matter of the team
coming together," -he said. "(At
Lourdes), the talent was there, it
just needed to gel. The same is true
here - the talent is here and it just
needs to gel."
• The coaching change came about
when Lentz, who had been head
coach for the past two seasons, was
asked to step down.
·The process of finding a new
head coach began at the end of last
season,
according
to junior
defenseman Kevin Walsh.·
"We had things started with
(former Director of Athletics
Brian) Colleary," he said. "But the
athletic department was in limbo
for much of the summer and when
we met with (Doris), he needed to
be convinced that'the entire team
wanted the change.
• 'The general feeling of the team
was that we were being held back,"
Walsh said. "The ability of the
team had surpassed his ability as a
coach."
Lentz could not be reached for
comment.
Walsh, .who played under Mat-
tice at • Lourdes
during the
undefeated season;.said he is look-
. ing forward to playing under him
again.

Booters snap
losing ·streak
by Chris Shea
The Marist soccer team, enjoy-
ing its first home game in three
weeks, snapped a three-game los-
ing streak by defeating Oneonta
State University last Saturday 2-1
in overtime.
Mark Edwards took a pass from
Sean Cullen and scored at 7:43 in
the overtime period.
It was a game characterized by
-mistakes and sloppy play on the
part of both teams.
"It wasn't what I would consider
attractive soccer," said Marist
coach.Dr. Howard Goldman. "It
was exciting from a fan's stand-
point, but that was because there
were so many mistakes - however
a win is a win."
Marist was led by Greg Healy,
·who scored ·the first goal on a
header after receiving a pass from
Shawn Scott.
Sophomore Phil
O'Hara and
freshman Mike Kelly also perform-
ed well, Goldman said. Kelly was·
playing out of position due to an
injury to Glen McSweeney.
McSweeney is out with a bruis-
ed ankle and his status is still listed
as day to day.
On Sept. 26, Marist wrapped up
its five-game road trip in Garden
City, N.Y., losing a 3-1 contest to
Adelphi University. Adelphi had
entered the game ranked 11th in the
country.
Were it not for a lackluster start
against Adelphi, the outcome could
have been different, according to
Goldman.
"We came out really flat in the
first half," he said.
As
a result, Adelphi led at
halftime
2-0.
Marist, however,
came out pumped to start the third
period and Bob Angrilla scored
from Jim McGee at 11:12 into the
second half.
The score remained at 2-1 for
• most of the second half as Marist
matched Adelphi play for play.
The Red Foxes were unable to tie
the game, though, and with ap-
proximately one minute to play
Adelphi scored, and iced the game.
"We have yet to go out and play
90 full minutes," he said. "Once
we do that we'll be a very
dangerous team."
The Red Foxes will find out if
they. can reach peak performance
as they play two non-conference
games this week.
The results of Wednesday's
home game versus Iona College
were unavailable at press time.
Marist is 1-1 lifetime against Iona.
Saturday the Red Foxes travel to
Hamilton, N.Y., to face Colgate
Universtty. The Red Foxes will be
searching for their irrst ever win
against the Red Raiders - having
lost both times the teams have met.
