a fund raiser sponsored by
Tau Kappa Epsilon once known as the annual "Meet Market"· which
ended due to coµiplaints that it was sexist and reminiscent of slavery.
Junior Tony Barosy, a political science inajor and a member of the
Black Student Union since
1991,
feels the "Meet Market" has been one
of the most "taboo" issues at Marist in the
.
past three years.
"To add insult to injury,'' he said, "the 'Meet Market' was being held

have nothing to review this
week.
And so l don'( really have
anything important to say- no wit-
ty prose and no revelatory insight
about the meaning of life.
That doesn't mean I don't have
an excuse to tell you about all of
the stuff I've been wanting to tell
you about for a long time and
haven't told you because I've been
putting it off.
So here it is, so here it is, so here
it is.
We begin with a band called
Jamiroquai, and their record call-
ed Emergency On Planet Earth.
They sound like a really bad '70s
funk band with Stevie Wonder on
vocals, except for some reason I
like them.
Actually, I hate to admit that I
like them, but l do.
I can't help it.
One of the most fresh songs on
the record is.called "Wh.en'·You
Gonna Learn (Digeridoo), '' and
I
mean that in the most freshest way
possible.
In case I forgot to mention it, it's
fresh.
Moving right along, there;s a
band called Flop:
Their record is called Whenever
You're Ready, and it features such·
stellar songs
as
"A. Wylie" and
"The Great Valediction."
Even though they're from Seat-
tle, they're not grunge.
They're more like hard rock.
And they're kind of zesty, but
not like the soap, so that's cool.
Bad Religion has been around
for
a
long time, and they're a
smokin' hardcore band.
Actually, I don't know if they
smoke, but they sound like they do.
Their latest record is Recipe For
Hate and it's really great.
In case you missed it, that last
sentence rhymed.
Bad Religion's lead singer, Greg
Graffin, _has a- PhD in something,
but I can't remember what it is.
Ithink it's
in
zoology, but don't
quote me on that.
So, as well as being a pretty
smart band, they rock.
. Eddie Vedder sings harmonies
on the record, too.
Incidentally, last week I heard he
was missing.
(Don't believe that last sentence-
!
was only fooling.)
The Samples' new record is call-
ed The Last Drag, and it's. pretty
mellow, but pretty good, just the
same.
The best song on The Last Drag
is called "Taxi."
It's
four minutes and
31
seconds
long.

the first big-

about
AIDS.
.
While the HBO original movie
"And the Band Played On" dealt
with the outbreak of AIDS from a
doctor's
point ._ of
view,
"Philadelphia" deals with how
people with the disease are treated
from a patient's point of view ..
Tom Hanks ("Sleepless in Seat-
tle") plays Andrew Beckett, a top-
notch attorney who is given a big·
promotion in a powerful law firm.
Not long after, he is ·diagnosed
with AIDS, and is fired.
He thinks he was fired because
he is sick, but his employers claim
that he is incompetent.
So, he takes them to court.
Beckett goes to nine different at-
torneys before he finds one who
will represent him.
Denzel Washington plays a self-
promoting attorney who advertises
on television and takes personal in-
jury cases.

of of people" realizes that when it
comes right down to it, everyone is
the same, with the same' rights.
He changes his mind about
representing Beckett when he sees
how other people treat him.
Beckett is a person with feelings
who didn't ask to get sick.
All he wants is justice.
So, the trial begins.
Everyone tries to blame everyone
else and the media has a field day.
People supporting both sides line
the streets to make their beliefs
known.
Through the course of this trial
we see that everyone, regardless of
sex, race, age, or sexual preference
can get this deadly disease.
AIDS is something that everyone
has to worry about.
The movie· really makes you
think about who this can happen
to, ~ci,.what the future witl'bring.
Tom Hanks•.· is incredible

· · - · .·.· ·
·
·
For this roie, Hanks lost between
25-~5
pounds and it was scary how
real1st1cally he portrayed an AIDS ·
victim.
·
·
He w9n the Golden Globe ·
Award for his performance and the .
word is that he has the Oscar lock-.
ed up.
Although he does have · some
competition . (namely
Liam
Ne~on), I do not see there being
.a problem.
·
In his second movie ~tit in the .
last
few
months, · Denzel
Washington gave a solid perfor- ·
mance as usual.
His character expresses all of the
feeiings shared by many people 1n ·
America.
. ·
The supporting cast, including
Jason Robards and Antonio
Banderas, is strong as well.
"Philadelphia" is definitely a
multi-tissue movie.

Jonathan Demme
-has
another
hit before he begins shooting these-
quel to "Silence of the Lambs." He
will get an· Oscar nomination, but
I don't see him winning because
Steven Spielberg will win for
"Schindler's
List." The
soundtrack
also has Oscar potential since Bruce
Springsteen won the Golden Globe
for his song "The Streets of
Philadelphia.''
But I will save my Oscar predic-
tions for· anothei: time in another
article.
Jo~ing aside; it's an _excellent
song.·
And if youlike excellent songs,
you might want to hear it
sometime.
Even though The Posies'
Frosting On The.Beater, has been
around.for a while,-it's one of my
recent favorites.
Every song on it is a hit, but
I
like <'Solar Sister," "Flavor Of
The Month," and «Coming Right
Along" the best.
The Posies are awesome because
they
mix
catchy hooks _with lots of
sweet harmonies.
. Frosting On The Beater is a killer
title, too,
And as it suggests, the band is
like frosting, except that even if
you have too much of it; you don't .
get that sick . -feeling in your
stomach like when you eat too
much frosting. ·

.
Anyway, go out
and
buy it,
, cause it tastes terrific. ;
Arid l.ast, but certainly hot least,
is All.
Breaking Things is my favorite
popcore record.
. .
· If
you don't know what popcore
is, it's not something you eat at the
movies, but music that is a com-
bination of pop and hardcore.
"Shreen," "Right," and
· "'Cause" are all songs that have
one word- for a title.
They are also the best songs on
the record that have one word.for
a ·title- not that the songs on' the
record with more than orie word
for a title are bad, because those
three songs are _ equally
as
en-
joyable, just that "Shreen,"
"Right,
,t
and "'Cause" are better.
Plain and simple, I love All ..

The National Rifle Association is one of the most powerful lobbyist organizations
in America.
-
And now, supporters of this interestgroup propose to·make it a part of Marist's culture.
The efforts of students and faculty to peacefully assemble and coordinate clubs should
never be abridged. One has a right to associate with any person or any group that one
chooses.
If
the Marist NRA goes through the correct channels and has the student interest,
then a school-sponsored, SGA-sanctioned club it should become.
But do not be fooled.
Founders of this organization may tell you that both sides will be representedin this
club; that gun control will also be discussed, and groups which oppose the NRA will
also be· given a voice.
Maybe.
However, anyone who has ever visited the NRA or read their literature or met with
their lobbyists (they prefer to be called 'educators'), know that this is one of the most
uncompromising organizations in the American political and social system.
This is an organization which would prefer to
ami
everyone rather than no one.
This is
an
organization which believes that we have a constitutional right to purchase,
own, and yes, use, items such as the popular cop- killer bullets.
Surely this will solve our crime problem.
It.
makes sense - more guns wm obviously
result in less violence.
_

The NRA is also a business, let's not forget. According to the associatjon; in recent
months, it has been adding 1500 new members per day, bringingmembershipto about

And what do they get for their money?
.
_ ._ _
A certain satisfaction, perhaps, in knowing that slick, highly~paid lobbyists are pro-
tecting their rights to· own any type of firearm and ammunition they choose.
Not only that. They are also paying for the fight against
gun
control such as the dreaded
waiting period. . . .
_

·
The NRA feeds the Ameri~ public fear. We do not need it. Americans are already
terrified of the crime and violence in our cities and neighborhoods. The NRA is telling
us that the only way to combatit is to be prepared to. shoot.
·
_ .
.
The NRA has almost convinced the public thatthe only way to be safe is to own a
gun, and possibly use it.
· _ _ · · _.
• _ ·
·
: •
•
This divisive, emotional position only makes the problems worse.
It perpetuates the
fear; it encourages the paranoia.
- .
•
· · · .
·
Of course, this is much easier than really addressingthe issuis of crime and violence
in our society. In traditional American fashion, we_ do·n.ot·want t.o look at the com~
plicated, the ugly, the scary, the reasons why. We want to believe that there is a quicker,
easier method.
•
·
·
·· ·
. . · ·
It is much easier to arm the public than to disarm the' criminals.
It
is much easier to add police officers to the streets and impose harsher penalties
t_han it_is to·understand why crimes are committed, and how·to stop the patternsthat
many people, especiallyjuveniles, seem to fall into.
It is much easier to seek vengeance rather than rehabilitation. ·
Violence has been a part of our society since it was settled. Why are people taking
notice now? Perhaps because it is permeating the suburbs; the schools, the commuter
trains.
You see, people can tqlerate the violence and the gun battles if it is contained to wliere
they believe it belongs.
. _.
. .
.-
... _
.
,
Even at Marist, we have a freedom to speak and to express ourselves and to associate.
Therefore, a chapter of the NRA has a right to be on this campus.
But when they tell you that the "other side~• will be represented, be skeptical, and
hold them to that promise. The national <>rganization would not give its name to a group
which even mentioned gun control in a positive sense.
Editor's Notebook
by
TED HOLMLUND
WTZA, a local television station, did a story last Thursday on The Circle's return to publication.
It
made sense to that this story was covered. It was newsworthy because it is the station's job
to report on local news events.
.
The story also would benefit Marist College and the administration because the newspaper was
back. Everything was back to "normal."
Although some may disagree, a lot has changed after
this
incident but that can
be
discussed at
another time.
However, according to
Cari
Oleskewicz, our managing editor, Ed Hines, director of public rela-
tions, called her up and said that Marist was a "closed campus" and that any outside media had
to go through his office to talk to students.
Then he also told her that he thought he had worked this
all out with WTZA earlier and it was
settled.
It is safe to say that he was upset that the story
was
covered.
If
this
is
a closed campus, then bow come certain messages can
be
broadcast outside this school
and others cannot?
·
How come Hines thought he could control WTZA's news coverage?
Interesting.

The only reason that I can see for such a

people feel they have to say them . to get
elected to office and so they won't be charg-

AU Richard and The Circle had
-
to do was come to a meeting, listen
·
to the Senate present certain stu-
dent complaints and criticisms, and
then go on their way and continue
to print as they saw fit.
The Senate's only hope was that
The Circle would
.
take these into
consideration and act on them.
But the meeting never happened.
Why? Because The Circle would
·
not let it happen.
In addition, The Circle was not
suspended as the editorial states.
No action was ever taken - or
even considered
-
against their
charter.
Yes, The Circle is still on proba-
tion, however,, this is only because
the Senate did not bave ·a chance
to meet to reverse this because of
final exams.
Richard would like to make
everyone think that SGA tried to
dictate The Circle's editorial policy.
This is simply not true, and the
Senate made this point explicit in
our initial letter, and also during
the meeting
·
that Dean Cox called
back in December.
·
The meeting that we did have in
December was not very productive
in my opinion because the original
complaints were not addressed and
no real discussion on alternative
status for The Circle occurred.
But one thing that did happen
was each side explained their ra-
tionale for taking the actions each
·did.
I have said over and over that the
Senate made some mistakes and
things could have been handled
differently.
For instance, the first letter sent
to The Circle concerning this issue
should have had a softer tone so
members of The Circle would not
have felt threatened.
But none of our mistakes
dismisses the fact that the Senate
has a right to call a club in for a
meeting. (The Circle's by-laws state
that they will follow all SGA direc-
tives.)
I think it's time for Richard and
The Circle to admit they too made
some mistakes and that this whole
thing would have been avoided if
they attended a meeting with us.
But, they chose not to and the
Senate was forced to treat them like
any other club on campus, or risk
losing credibility.
I've been criticized-for not fully
.
understanding journalism, and
there is some merit to this
assertion.
But one thing I do know is that
a free press, or free society for that
matter, does not exist
if
there is no
free exchange of
_ideas.
The Circle denied the Student
Senate from expressing legitimate
ideas in an open forum.
As
a result, the students can on-
ly wonder
if
Richard practices what
she preaches.

senate speaker

The long-awaited fitness center
is part of the major rec_onstruction
being done on the Campus

"It is part of the long-range plan
to provide more opportunities

students and to serve their
health and fitness
·needs,"

said
Assistant Dean of Activities and
Housing Steve Sansola.
According to at least one stu-
dent, the new center's location
makes
.
it more convenient than
trekking to McCann for a workout.
"It doesn't have a lot of equip-
··
ment in it, but it is in a good loca~
tion and it's open seven days a
week," said junior Jason Letendre.
The fitness center is
.
available
to
students only. Students who want'
.
to use the equipment

must go
through a mandatory

orientation
program;
·
·
·
The orientation program is
ilin

by a newly trained

·
The purpose of the program
fs
to
familiarize students with the equip-
ment so they know how to use it
properly.
''Eight of us (who make up the
student staff) were trained by a
professional who came
in
here and

showed us how to use the equip-
ment," Apuzzo said.

Former Red Fox basketball
players returned to the hardwoods
of the McCann Center last Satur-
day to rekindle their glory days of
collegiate competition.
For ·some,. the aggression was
still
evident, but for others, the fire
seemed to be long gone.
The Marist alumni basketball
game was not ·about points, re-
bounds nor assists, it was about
coming home.
.
. . .
.There were . some alumni who
were members of the Class of
1962,
Marist's jnaugurat basketball
season:. One player· even· came. as
far
as
Sacramento; Ca. to partake
in the
day's festivities.
.
The game broughtback the.first
basketball coach in school history,
George Strl,a, who guided the
1962
team to:a
6:s
recor.d.
Strba,
a.
Poughkeepsie resident,
said he vividly remembers hl.s
coaching days at 1\1:arist.

ships to giv~, and played in a box

were
a

kind to coach because they knew
nothing;"
The games brought-back Marist
standouts: Steve Paterno
('91),.Bill"
Dewinne ('81), and Ursula Winter
('85), the women's all time leading
scorer.
"We always get a great response
of players to come back; They love

''This is the second annual

"It is great to get a chance to see

have nothing to review this
week.
And so l don'( really have
anything important to say- no wit-
ty prose and no revelatory insight
about the meaning of life.
That doesn't mean I don't have
an excuse to tell you about all of
the stuff I've been wanting to tell
you about for a long time and
haven't told you because I've been
putting it off.
So here it is, so here it is, so here
it is.
We begin with a band called
Jamiroquai, and their record call-
ed Emergency On Planet Earth.
They sound like a really bad '70s
funk band with Stevie Wonder on
vocals, except for some reason I
like them.
Actually, I hate to admit that I
like them, but l do.
I can't help it.
One of the most fresh songs on
the record is.called "Wh.en'·You
Gonna Learn (Digeridoo), '' and
I
mean that in the most freshest way
possible.
In case I forgot to mention it, it's
fresh.
Moving right along, there;s a
band called Flop:
Their record is called Whenever
You're Ready, and it features such·
stellar songs
as
"A. Wylie" and
"The Great Valediction."
Even though they're from Seat-
tle, they're not grunge.
They're more like hard rock.
And they're kind of zesty, but
not like the soap, so that's cool.
Bad Religion has been around
for
a
long time, and they're a
smokin' hardcore band.
Actually, I don't know if they
smoke, but they sound like they do.
Their latest record is Recipe For
Hate and it's really great.
In case you missed it, that last
sentence rhymed.
Bad Religion's lead singer, Greg
Graffin, _has a- PhD in something,
but I can't remember what it is.
Ithink it's
in
zoology, but don't
quote me on that.
So, as well as being a pretty
smart band, they rock.
. Eddie Vedder sings harmonies
on the record, too.
Incidentally, last week I heard he
was missing.
(Don't believe that last sentence-
!
was only fooling.)
The Samples' new record is call-
ed The Last Drag, and it's. pretty
mellow, but pretty good, just the
same.
The best song on The Last Drag
is called "Taxi."
It's
four minutes and
31
seconds
long.

· ·
·
You get' a great movie about one
of the most controversial topics in
society today.
"Philadelphia" is
·
the first big-
budget, mainstream-motion picture
about
AIDS.
.
While the HBO original movie
"And the Band Played On" dealt
with the outbreak of AIDS from a
doctor's
point ._ of
view,
"Philadelphia" deals with how
people with the disease are treated
from a patient's point of view ..
Tom Hanks ("Sleepless in Seat-
tle") plays Andrew Beckett, a top-
notch attorney who is given a big·
promotion in a powerful law firm.
Not long after, he is ·diagnosed
with AIDS, and is fired.
He thinks he was fired because
he is sick, but his employers claim
that he is incompetent.
So, he takes them to court.
Beckett goes to nine different at-
torneys before he finds one who
will represent him.
Denzel Washington plays a self-
promoting attorney who advertises
on television and takes personal in-
jury cases.
-
Sounds like the best choice for
this case, right?

Afterwards, Beckett's smooth
talking new acquaintance. sees
a
doctor and asks him about allthe
ways a person can catch · the
disease.
·
Washington's character .knows
nothing -about the disease -and
believes all of the popular myths
such as catching it through casual
contact.
He asks his wife "Would you
take a client if you kept thinking,
I don'_t want this guy to touch me
or even breathe on me?"
·
This is a natural reaction at first.
However, there is a difference
between being cautious and being
ridiculous.
:
Finally, the man who thinks of
homosexuals as a "different kind
of of people" realizes that when it
comes right down to it, everyone is
the same, with the same' rights.
He changes his mind about
representing Beckett when he sees
how other people treat him.
Beckett is a person with feelings
who didn't ask to get sick.
All he wants is justice.
So, the trial begins.
Everyone tries to blame everyone
else and the media has a field day.
People supporting both sides line
the streets to make their beliefs
known.
Through the course of this trial
we see that everyone, regardless of
sex, race, age, or sexual preference
can get this deadly disease.
AIDS is something that everyone
has to worry about.
The movie· really makes you
think about who this can happen
to, ~ci,.what the future witl'bring.
Tom Hanks•.· is incredible
as
Beckett.

· · - · .·.· ·
·
·
For this roie, Hanks lost between
25-~5
pounds and it was scary how
real1st1cally he portrayed an AIDS ·
victim.
·
·
He w9n the Golden Globe ·
Award for his performance and the .
word is that he has the Oscar lock-.
ed up.
Although he does have · some
competition . (namely
Liam
Ne~on), I do not see there being
.a problem.
·
In his second movie ~tit in the .
last
few
months, · Denzel
Washington gave a solid perfor- ·
mance as usual.
His character expresses all of the
feeiings shared by many people 1n ·
America.
. ·
The supporting cast, including
Jason Robards and Antonio
Banderas, is strong as well.
"Philadelphia" is definitely a
multi-tissue movie.

I don't see him winning because

also has Oscar potential since Bruce
Springsteen won the Golden Globe
for his song "The Streets of
Philadelphia.''
But I will save my Oscar predic-
tions for· anothei: time in another
article.
Jo~ing aside; it's an _excellent
song.·
And if youlike excellent songs,
you might want to hear it
sometime.
Even though The Posies'
Frosting On The.Beater, has been
around.for a while,-it's one of my
recent favorites.
Every song on it is a hit, but
I
like <'Solar Sister," "Flavor Of

The Posies are awesome because
they

And as it suggests, the band is
like frosting, except that even if

.
Anyway, go out
and
buy it,
, cause it tastes terrific. ;
Arid l.ast, but certainly hot least,
is All.
Breaking Things is my favorite
popcore record.
. .
· If
you don't know what popcore
is, it's not something you eat at the
movies, but music that is a com-
bination of pop and hardcore.
"Shreen," "Right," and
· "'Cause" are all songs that have
one word- for a title.
They are also the best songs on
the record that have one word.for
a ·title- not that the songs on' the
record with more than orie word
for a title are bad, because those
three songs are _ equally
as
en-
joyable, just that "Shreen,"
"Right,

and "'Cause" are better.
Plain and simple, I love All ..
Well, lthink I've confused you
enough for now.

PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY

The National Rifle Association is one of the most powerful lobbyist organizations
in America.
-
And now, supporters of this interestgroup propose to·make it a part of Marist's culture.
The efforts of students and faculty to peacefully assemble and coordinate clubs should
never be abridged. One has a right to associate with any person or any group that one
chooses.
If
the Marist NRA goes through the correct channels and has the student interest,
then a school-sponsored, SGA-sanctioned club it should become.
But do not be fooled.
Founders of this organization may tell you that both sides will be representedin this
club; that gun control will also be discussed, and groups which oppose the NRA will
also be· given a voice.
Maybe.
However, anyone who has ever visited the NRA or read their literature or met with
their lobbyists (they prefer to be called 'educators'), know that this is one of the most
uncompromising organizations in the American political and social system.
This is an organization which would prefer to
ami
everyone rather than no one.
This is
an
organization which believes that we have a constitutional right to purchase,
own, and yes, use, items such as the popular cop- killer bullets.
Surely this will solve our crime problem.
It.
makes sense - more guns wm obviously
result in less violence.
_
.• .. _

The NRA is also a business, let's not forget. According to the associatjon; in recent
months, it has been adding 1500 new members per day, bringingmembershipto about

And what do they get for their money?
.
_ ._ _
A certain satisfaction, perhaps, in knowing that slick, highly~paid lobbyists are pro-
tecting their rights to· own any type of firearm and ammunition they choose.
Not only that. They are also paying for the fight against
gun
control such as the dreaded
waiting period. . . .
_
.
. _ .
_ ..
....
·
The NRA feeds the Ameri~ public fear. We do not need it. Americans are already
terrified of the crime and violence in our cities and neighborhoods. The NRA is telling
us that the only way to combatit is to be prepared to. shoot.
·
_ .
.
The NRA has almost convinced the public thatthe only way to be safe is to own a
gun, and possibly use it.
· _ _ · · _.
• _ ·
·
: •
•
This divisive, emotional position only makes the problems worse.
It perpetuates the
fear; it encourages the paranoia.
- .
•
· · · .
·
Of course, this is much easier than really addressingthe issuis of crime and violence
in our society. In traditional American fashion, we_ do·n.ot·want t.o look at the com~
plicated, the ugly, the scary, the reasons why. We want to believe that there is a quicker,
easier method.
•
·
·
·· ·
. . · ·
It is much easier to arm the public than to disarm the' criminals.
It
is much easier to add police officers to the streets and impose harsher penalties
t_han it_is to·understand why crimes are committed, and how·to stop the patternsthat
many people, especiallyjuveniles, seem to fall into.
It is much easier to seek vengeance rather than rehabilitation. ·
Violence has been a part of our society since it was settled. Why are people taking
notice now? Perhaps because it is permeating the suburbs; the schools, the commuter
trains.
You see, people can tqlerate the violence and the gun battles if it is contained to wliere
they believe it belongs.
. _.
. .
.-
... _
.
,
Even at Marist, we have a freedom to speak and to express ourselves and to associate.
Therefore, a chapter of the NRA has a right to be on this campus.
But when they tell you that the "other side~• will be represented, be skeptical, and
hold them to that promise. The national <>rganization would not give its name to a group
which even mentioned gun control in a positive sense.
Editor's Notebook
by
TED HOLMLUND
WTZA, a local television station, did a story last Thursday on The Circle's return to publication.
It
made sense to that this story was covered. It was newsworthy because it is the station's job
to report on local news events.
.
The story also would benefit Marist College and the administration because the newspaper was
back. Everything was back to "normal."
Although some may disagree, a lot has changed after
this
incident but that can
be
discussed at
another time.
However, according to
Cari
Oleskewicz, our managing editor, Ed Hines, director of public rela-
tions, called her up and said that Marist was a "closed campus" and that any outside media had
to go through his office to talk to students.
Then he also told her that he thought he had worked this
all out with WTZA earlier and it was
settled.
It is safe to say that he was upset that the story
was
covered.
If
this
is
a closed campus, then bow come certain messages can
be
broadcast outside this school
and others cannot?
·
How come Hines thought he could control WTZA's news coverage?

AU Richard and The Circle had
-
to do was come to a meeting, listen
·
to the Senate present certain stu-
dent complaints and criticisms, and
then go on their way and continue
to print as they saw fit.
The Senate's only hope was that
The Circle would
.
take these into
consideration and act on them.
But the meeting never happened.
Why? Because The Circle would
·
not let it happen.
In addition, The Circle was not
suspended as the editorial states.
No action was ever taken - or
even considered
-
against their
charter.
Yes, The Circle is still on proba-
tion, however,, this is only because
the Senate did not bave ·a chance
to meet to reverse this because of
final exams.
Richard would like to make
everyone think that SGA tried to
dictate The Circle's editorial policy.
This is simply not true, and the
Senate made this point explicit in
our initial letter, and also during
the meeting
·
that Dean Cox called
back in December.
·
The meeting that we did have in
December was not very productive
in my opinion because the original
complaints were not addressed and
no real discussion on alternative
status for The Circle occurred.
But one thing that did happen
was each side explained their ra-
tionale for taking the actions each
·did.
I have said over and over that the
Senate made some mistakes and
things could have been handled
differently.
For instance, the first letter sent
to The Circle concerning this issue
should have had a softer tone so
members of The Circle would not
have felt threatened.
But none of our mistakes
dismisses the fact that the Senate
has a right to call a club in for a
meeting. (The Circle's by-laws state
that they will follow all SGA direc-
tives.)
I think it's time for Richard and
The Circle to admit they too made
some mistakes and that this whole
thing would have been avoided if
they attended a meeting with us.
But, they chose not to and the
Senate was forced to treat them like
any other club on campus, or risk
losing credibility.
I've been criticized-for not fully
.
understanding journalism, and
there is some merit to this
assertion.
But one thing I do know is that
a free press, or free society for that
matter, does not exist
if
there is no
free exchange of
_ideas.
The Circle denied the Student
Senate from expressing legitimate
ideas in an open forum.
As
a result, the students can on-
ly wonder
if
Richard practices what
she preaches.

Former Red Fox basketball
players returned to the hardwoods
of the McCann Center last Satur-
day to rekindle their glory days of
collegiate competition.
For ·some,. the aggression was
still
evident, but for others, the fire
seemed to be long gone.
The Marist alumni basketball
game was not ·about points, re-
bounds nor assists, it was about
coming home.

.There were . some alumni who
were members of the Class of
1962,
Marist's jnaugurat basketball
season:. One player· even· came. as
far
as

in the
day's festivities.
