Sexuai discrimination concerns ::students and.
facultft
.· I
by
MICHAEL GooT .
Managing Editor
Sexual discrimination may not
be
as prevalent today as before,
but it still exists on college cam-.
puses.
·
·
Robin Ros.en, assistant profes-
sor of history; said she believes
women get ideas of what their
role in society is~
"In our culture, men and women
who get certain messages about
what their areas of. expertise
should be might end up being in
that area," she said.
.
.
Statistics from Institutional
Research show some big differ-
ences between the.sexes in cer-
tain majors, Computer science,
for example has mostly men, and
there are many female special
education majors.
·
Rosen said that men and
women seem to be choosing dif-
ferent career paths.
"I think the statistics still show
there's a big discrepancy in the
majors that women and men
choose and although individual
men and women might be break-
. ing out,
I
don't think statistically
that's made an impact," she sai_d.
Rosen said women have faced
difficulty in changing traditional
gender roles because of reluc-
tance on the part of society.
"It
probably has to do with the
ambivalence our society feels
about changing gender roles,"
she said .. "There has been
a
real
conservative backlash against
the accomplishments of the
women's movement, sol think
that's a big part of it."
According to Vicky Ingalls,
as-
sistant professor of biology,
women have had a difficult time
because they want to have full-
time careers and raise families as
well.
-
"Now, if a woman wants to
be
in some position, and raise a fam-
ily, the question is always _who's
goi!'lg to take. care of the kids?"
she said. "We don't have very
many men go into the home."

Greetings student body,
As Resident Senator and head of theSafetyand Security
committee, I would like to inform the student body of our
accomplishments thus far.
·
·
·
Our first accomplishment
has
been
t~
alter tJ:ie rotation of
security guards. Last year, the secunty rotation was once
a week. Thanks to our committee and the efforts of
Jo-
seph Verderame, the rotation is c~ently
-
~i-weeky. ~s
-
means that security gu~ds are now ma resident hall twice
a week, instead of just once.
·
·
The Safety and Security committee has
_
been working dili-
gently towards its g~als.
·
Currently, ~oseph Verderame is
workini on improvmg ow: campus lightmg. Robyn Pe~t
is working on the sex1;1al v1ol~nce task_force. Lastly, Luis
Aiossa is working on Improvmg secunty for the Talmage
section of our campus.
I am supervising each of these individual co~tt~s.
Our central goal 1s to ensure the safe~ of !he entire ¥anst
community. We realize that safety 1s an 1m~rtant issue,
and we hope that our efforts do not
go
unnottct:d.
If you ha';e any co~cems ~r 'Yould like to join the safety
and secunty comnuttee, I mv1te you to call me at X4944.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Student programming council looks to expand membership
Dear Fellow Students;
As a member of student government, as well as a concerned student,
I
have noticed a problem that
I
feel
has a very simple solution. It seems that there are many clubs and councils that would like to have better
activities and membership.
·
One of these
·
groups is th.e Student Programming Council. This is a part of the student government
.
association, and this is the group of people responsible for concerts, comedians and other forms of
entertainment on campus. Now, it would be possible to get more money for organizations like the SPC.
As students, we pay an activity fee as part of our tuition.
If
we were to raise our activity fee by only a
small amount, this would provide more money for clubs and councils to make extracurricular activities
better.
I
am heading up a committee to see if it would be practical and possible to change the activity fee.
If you would like to help and at the same time earn some priority points, call me at extension 2206.
I
would also like to hear your opinions on this subject, since it is you who pays the activity fee.
_
Please
let me know how you feel.
I
can be reached at extension 2206.

Commuters, need more information about campus events?
Commuters,
My name is Clifden Kennedy, and lam your representative in Student Government. One of the problems
facing commuters is finding out about events here at Marist. Since we do not have phone-mail to tell us
about things,
I
am in the midst of getting
an
E-mail distribution list for us. In other words, we will find out
about upcoming events on E-Mail. Sound good? Tell me what you think.
Please contact me if you have any concerns or suggestions about being a commuter here at Marist.
I
can be reached at KR5Q on E-Mail, and at X2206 in the SGA Office, or at my office hours in the commuter
lounge. Do you know about the commuter lounge in the Rotunda? Stop by, check it out and meet Sue
Lozinski, the commuter mentor._
I
need
'
input from you, the commuters, so get in touch with me.
Thanks for reading,

Peer support line branchesoutto

-
provide additional services
by
Jacque Simpson
Feature Editor
As inidtenns approach~ many
students begin to feel the stress
from their classes and outside
activities.
When students begin to feel
the stress start to take its toll,
some people exercise, while oth-
ers just sleep. Anything to get
their minds off of classes. But,
there is one more thing that stu-
dents can do if they are really
facing a difficult problem: talk
with their peers.
The Marist Counseling Center
and students involved with the
Peer Support Line are available
to listen. These calls are always
confidential, and the students
involved with the hotline respect
the anonymity of those calling,
and this point is stressed.
The Peer Support Line is the
only anonymous and confiden-
tial hotline on campus.
It is in its third year and is rap-
idly growing in size, has doubled
since last year, enabling the
group to concentrate on activi-
ties outside of the hotline.
In order for students to be a
peer counselor they must go
through ten hours of peer coun-
seling training. Each session
deals with a new topic to help
prepare students for the actual
phone sessions that they will be
encountering.
Students are given a
10
hour
training sessio1_1. Every week, a
different topic _is discussed.
Not only do the students in-
volved receive training
_
from
Brother John Nash and the Coun-
seling Center, but they are re- -
quired to receive a recommen-
dation by a resident director or a
mentor, and submit a statement
as to why they want to become
involved with the Peer Support
Line.
Many of_ the students in-
volved with the Peer Support
Line are psychology majors, but
there
are
also many other majors
involved such as journalism, ad-
vertising and even environmen-
tal
science. The Peer Support _
Line is open to everyone.
The group's goals are to expand
the peer support beyond just the
hotline itself.
Peer Support would like to
branch out to peer alcohol aware-
ness programs which involve
dormitory situations and resolu-
tions.

Junior Jill Dontigney, who has
been involved with the line since
her freshman year, said it is im-
portant to make students aware
of each other.
''It's not only awareness of you,
but also
an
awareness of your
friends, and how to deal with
their drinking problems." .
The Peer Support Line has
branched off into different sec-
-tions. The ftrst of those sections
being the support line itself, the
second branch is the_Peer Alco-
hol Program,_ and the third
branch of the organization is the
Peer Mediation Program'.
The peer Mediation program is
a fairly new program which the
group hopes to begin this spring.
The idea behind the program is
to help solve residential confron-

The-Class of2000 is the
fourth
class in Marist's honors program.
- fers entering Marist. They take
into account high school tran-
scripts, course loads, including
horior of
AP
classes, and stan-
dardized tests, like the
SAT's.
The honors program began in
the Fall of 1993 at Marist College,
using the Class of 1997 as a pilot
group.
The
purpose was
tQ
ex-
tend public recognition _of the
academically outstanding stu-
dents.
Instead of these students re- _
ceiving only a one-time acknowl-
edgment for achieving Dean's
List status, the honors program
was developed to allow those
elite students to work together
in a clas_sroom setting learning
from each other.
It also allows for the develop-
ment of student-teacher rela-
tions, and extra-curricular activi-
ties are offered once a semester
for all members.
Each semester; various courses
are selected to be offered on_the
honors level. These classes are
not made up of particular topical
groupings. Rather, they offer
variation to the students.
A
stu-
dent entered in the program
chooses one course per semes-
ter to attend. This class counts
toward the
core
requirements, yet
it may not necessarily coincide.
with
a student's major.
Each honors student has the
ability to take four courses dur-
ing the first two years of study
at Marist. These four selections
must include three that
fulfill
core -
requirements, and no more than
two may be in the subject area of
the student's major.
The designers of the program
wanted to make the honors
classes available to all those who
are
eligible to participate. Every
year, the advisors, in conjunction
with admissions,
research
data
on incoming freshmen and trans-
From this background, they in-
vite approximately
50-60
students
a
year into the program. There
are about 130-140 students cur-
rently enrolled in the program,
constituting
7 -
percent of the stu-
dent body.
The honors program was not
designed
to
be a closed, mem-
bers only program. Students
who have not been invited to
participate as freshmen are still
encouraged to enroll in honors
level classes.
Students who have obtained at
least a "B" -average can take an
honors class on a one-time trial
basis with
a
faculty recommen-
dation. Those who do well in the
class may continue their studies
within the honors program. -
• Many students are unaware of
this_ opportunity. Initiative is the
stepping stone into the program.
It is also possible for students to
be invited into the program after
_
their freshmen year, depending
on how well they have done at
Marist.-
Senior Christy Gronlund has
taken nine honors classes. She
said she enjoys the_ cine-on-one
relationships with · the -teachers,
and she said the professors re-
turn
that respect to her
as
a stu~
dent.
Along with enhancing her edu-
cation, Gronlund said she has
developed friendships through
the program.
The program exposes you to
students pursuing a different
major
than
your own most times
allowing you to interact with dif-
ferent people.

Editorial
When Twas about seven years old, I told my parents that when I got married, I would
move into the attic of our house because I did not want to leave them.
Now I am in my last year of college, not living as close to home as I planned fourteen
years ago. yet not too far to return
ifl
need to. In fact, that was one of the main reasons
I chose to attend school only an hour and a half away from home in the first place.
But this is the first year that, because of prior commitments, I am really not able go
home.
Maybe that is the reason why, by Friday, I was ecstatic about my parents coming to
visit.
My mom and dad have come to Marist for every Parents Weekend since I was a
freshman, and it is a weekend I always look forward to. •
It is
not
at
all
the same as going home to see them for the weekend. For one thing,
the atmosphere on campus during-Parents Weekend is great.
Smoking is not nearly as prevalent, or at least as obvigus, on Parents Weekend as it
usually is. I have even noticed that several people whose parents know they smoke,
do
not
do so in front of their friends' parents.
At this point in their lives, I do not think they really fear punishment.
I
just think they
want to leave the parents with an untainted picture of the school.
·
I believe this shows how much pride students take in Marist. Of course, somebody
is
always complaining about the food, parking, or housing. But, when it comes to the
really important thing~. like community, I rarely hear anything negative.
Marist is, for a large portion of the year, our home. The other students and faculty
. are like our family, and when our parents come to visit; we want to show that off.
Students seem to be especially conscious of being friendly and_polite in the com-
pany of parents. No matter where
i
go on campus, I see students I do nofeven know
with their parents. At least
99
percent of the time, they say "hi" or "how are you?" ·
I originally thought that everyone just wanted to look popular in front of ~eir
mothers and fathers. But; Hater

It
seems to me that students here, for the 'most part, really want to make a good
impression on parents and other visitors, and
I
will definitely miss Parents Weekend
when
I
am not here next year.

Letters to the· Editor
Security officer handles phone situation well
F.ditor:
I would like to express my gratitude to Marist College security about a situation that
occurred last Saturday night. When I heard the phone rintat
2:00
Sunday morning, I
was not alarmed until my roommate told me security was on the phone. Then, I pan-
icked. The security officer explained that somebody was on the phone who wanted to
speak to me,-and she asked if they could put him through.
I
believe my response was,
"Are
you kidding
me?"
I was too shocked
to
be polite, and I was furious.that once
again this person was trying to contact me, after
I
repeatedly asked him.not to. The
understanding officer calmly said okay and hung up. A few minutes later, she called
back to infonn me that she _told him l was not listed in the directory. This was the
perfect solution to the problem.
.
.
.
. . . . .
.
I
hope this person will.noftry to contact-me again, now that he hasbeen told I have
an unlisted number. Looking back, I
am
very pleased with _the way the whole situation
was handled; especially, the fact that the. call was not put through without m:y pennis-
. sion. _
I do not know if this is the standard procedure in dealing with external calls, or
if I was just lucky that a conscientious officer was working on Saturday night.
What-
ever the reason, I would simply lik~ to say thanks.

_Weare writing this letter.to you to inform thesiudents ofMaristCollege ofthemany
injustices that the Greek Community is c~irently facing. In.tlte past. we have been

__ . .
.
Asqreeks, we are constantly reminded.that we cannot
be
treated
any
differently
from C>therclubs on this campus, yet it seems we are
tretlted
idot- differently. The
current disciplinary matrix followed by i:he Studerit Govenmient Association
seems
to
be biased against Greeks.
: .

. .. ·
_ ... .·. . .. . .
. .
. : · fo
the matrix, it states that an off-campus disturbance involving alcoh_ol is grounds
'foi:
an entire club to lose its charter, depending on whether the event is· seen as
"organizational." However, with a fraternity or
.
sorority, the word "organizaticmal'' is
hard.to define. When a person joins a Greekorganization;·it is not the same-idea
.
as
joining other clubs.
.
.·• ,. .
-
·
. .
. ·. · .. . , . ,·. . ·
The ties that bind Greek organizations· are very strong· and. go beyond an· ordinary
. club meeting. Greeks tend to live in the same houses or apartments. So, is it fair i:osay
that every time four of-age sorority sisters have ·a drink in their house with friends, it is
-grounds for su~pension of charter? .
·
. .
.·
.
It is no secret that the Greeks have off-campus events, but it is also not a seer.et that
many of the other -clubs and_ sports teams also have these events.
·
This is true, and
most of the student body knows that it is true, so why is it that only the Greeks are
disciplined for these events?
How come, in one weekend,. five. different off-campus events can be broken up by
the police, yet only the one of Greekaffiliationis disciplined by the college?
The Greeks have been encouraged time and time· again to practice responsible
drinking and encourage others to do so. Yet, this college will not give us an appropri~
ate outlet for respon_sible drinking, and when we feel we have been as responsible as
we possibly can, we are disciplined on,;e again. Parties involving alcohol exist on
every college campus, and it is ridiculous for the administration of Marist to believe
otherwise. The difference between Marist and
any
other college is that on most
campuses the college provides a means of responsible drinking.
As it is seen, every move that a Greek organization makes is scrutinized by the
administration of this cru:npus. There are a lot of positive things that the Greeks do on
this campus, yet only this negative gets attention. The Greeks are responsible for
almost all of the community service projects done by Marist, and that never receives
· anymeriL
The administration is so busy worrying about the negative effects of Greeks that
they have not encouraged us to continue with the positive. This
wi·n
only add to the
discouragement the Greeks are feeling.
The administration should be doing the
opposite and working with us.

Ra.v.ing_p~nic attacks about your future?!
by
Amie Lemire
A&E Editor
Like most of my fellow se-
niors of the Class of
'97, I often
find myself deep in introspec-
tive thought.
Pondering . the meaning of
life?
Questioning man's existential
relationship with the universe?.
Hell no! More like-Aah
! ! !
What am I going to do with my
life?!?!
For the past sixteen of my
twenty-one years, my
life
has
revolved around school, in one
- way or another.
_
I have been traveling down a
very particular path, from my
first day of kindergarten up to·
right now, and in seven months,
I'll
be at the end of the road,
stepping off into-,.what??
Speaking with others through-
out my daily travels,
I have dis-
covered that
I
am
not alone in
my worries about the future.
I'd be willing to
bet
that the
majority of seniors are suffer-
ing from a bad case of ...
"What
am
I going to do after
graduation?" or ...
.. What if I'm not qualified
enough to get a job in my field?"
and even a bit of...
"What ifl have to live with my
parents and work at Burger
World for the rest of my life?"
-Luckily,
I
am interning at the
Center for Career Services in
Donnelly, which is the best place
to go to find infonnation or seek
•. advice about graduate schools,
resume writing, job searches, or
any other area directly related to
your life after Marist.
There are walk-in hours set
-. aside especially for critiquing
resumes.
Just walk right in, and a staff
member will sit down and go
over your resume and cover
let-
ter on a one-to-one basis.
Or, if you need more advice or
a bit of guidance, appointments
with a career counselor might
be
a better approach to help you
find out what you want to do
af-
ter Marist.
The office is jam-packed with
answers to all your questions,
and I'm not just saying that
be-
cause I work there!
There is information about
·choosing majors,
finding a
ca-
reer, deciding which graduate
school to apply to, or which oc-
cupation is right for you.
Of course,
I realize that under-
classmen might have questions,
also.
Juniors, Sophomores, and
even Freshmen are always wel-
come to come down and look
around.
The point is to get your hands
on these pearls of wisdom-all
the information is here, you just
have to come and get it.
We can't bring it to you,
_
though things like workshops,
the Career and Employer Expo
and our soon-to-be web page
bring our services closer to you,
the students.
So the next time you have a
panic/anxiety attack about what
to do with your
life,
or wake up
in a cold sweat envisioning
yourself in a paper hat standing
over a deep-fat fryer, make
tracks down to the office in
Donnelly
226
and stop in.
Ask questions, and get some
real answers, for a change. Now,
wouldn't that be refreshing?!

the Dave Matthews Band.

Playing to a full crowd on both
Thursday, Oct.

_and Friday,
Oct. 4, their performances were
nothing less than excellent.
As a Dave Matthews fanatic,
I
was easily impressed, but reac-
tions from the rest of the audi-
ence proved I was not alone.
I
bought a ticket for the first
show the day they went on sale
in August.
This show ~as routine; a few
popular hits, including "Ants
Marching" and "Crash Into Me,"
with some lesser known songs
like "Granny" mixed in.
_
An encore of "All Along the
Watchtower" played solo by
Dave caused the crowd to leave
in a state of excitement.
Too bad fans, but th~ show is
over.
On Friciay, the same sort of mix
was played, but with more emo-
tion and intensity:
The cover songs were re-
peated, hut they _left more of an
impact.
Violinist Boyd Timsley and
dmmmer Carter Beauford added
much more depth and feeling to
each song. ·
They opened with "Forty
One," and the crowd became ec-
static.

impressive version of "All Along

As far as entertainment goes, it .
was a wonderful weekend.
- Financially, it was a different
story.
It cost $28.50 for a third level

which was not bad.

The Million Man March: One Year Later
The African American Men's Association of Hudson Valley will sponsor
a "Million Man March:One Year Later" community forum on Tuesday,
October 15, 1996 at 6:30 p.m. at Catherine Street Community Center in
the City Of Poughkeepsie.
Speakers at this program include Lateef Islam, executive director of
Family Partnerships; Peter Johnson, vice-president of the African
American Men's Association; Tina Allen and Lavetta Williams, members of
Razzle Dazzle, a local women's organization that created Hudson Valley
Million Man March tee-shirts; Steven Davis, a Poughkeepsie High school
senior and.member of Against Death and Destmction (ADD); and Earl
Brown, one of the founding members of SIMBA.
The purpose of the forum is to discuss the progress and give an update
of the condition of the African American community since last year's
Million Man March. The Million Man March was held on October 16, 1995
in Washington, D.C.
·The African American Mens' Group was instrumental in sponsoring two
bus loads of men and teenage boys to attend the march. In addition,
the men's group worked in conjunction with a Million Man March
committee from Newburgh, NY, who also sponsored buses to attend the
march.The forum is free and
open to the public.
Men, women and children are
encouraged to attend the program.
For more information contact
Peter Johnson, vice president of African
American Men's Association at (9/4)452-8890. Also, any men wishing to
become a member of the association can contact Johnson. Meetings are
held once per month.

four conference games left on
their schedule.
The first defeat came at the
hands of a solid
st.
Peter's squad,
where Marist stole the lead early
in the game when Nicole Bruno
scored just two and a half lllin-
utes into the game but could not
hold on ..
"It was a mistake on their de-
.
fense;" Piechocki said .
.
-
Oliver, ajuniorcaptain, was all
over the field trying to keep Holy
Cross from scoring.
The final goal of the day was
scored off of an indirect kick just
before half-time. Holy Cross sent
two attackers from the far post
on a near post run, and as goalie

,
Jennie
Cavanaugh misdirected the ball
off of her head to the far post
where it ended up in the net.
Marist would lose
2-0
to Holy
Cross, who Piechocki believed
was the better team that day.
After looking back on the past
week, Piechocki identified her
team's mistakes as re-occurring.
The

team still needs to produce
some offense, a problem they've
had almost all year.

It was a tough week for the
men's soccer team.
Before lao;t Wednesday's trip to
Manhattan College, the Red
Foxes' record stood at .500, and
they had just made their first ap-
pearance in the New York Re-
gional Soccer Poli, having earned
a respectable #8 ranking.
But after Saturday's trek to
Pennsylvania, where the team
met conference foe St. Francis
(PA), Marist's losing streak had
reached three games; and any ·
_ hopes of maintaining a position
among 1he elite teams in the state
were long gone. .
_
Head coach Bob Herodes'
squad came off a tough but.en-
couraging loss to national power
Robert Morris that evened their
record
at 3-3'on September 29,
and had looked ahead to Man-
hattan ancJ St. Francis_ with vi-
sions of sweeping-both games.
It didn't quite work out that
way.
The Manhattan game featured
a goal each from Matt Day and
Josh Thomas, but the Jaspers
were able to stay with Marist
-through most of the game, and
eventually dealt the · decisive
blow- a third goal that the Red
Foxes couldn't match.
In
a·ganie thatMarist consid-
ered• an easy,_ win, M_anhattan
came a~ay 3-2 winners.
·
''We've been doing this all
year~.we let a t ~ stay in the
game, and they become more and
more confident," Herodes said.
On Saturday, St Francis (PA)
never let Marist get into the
game .. For the third straight time,
the Red Foxes were shut out by
a Northeast Conference rival.
St Francis stymied Marist's
off e11se time and time again en
route to a 1-0 victory.
A problem that has. plagued
Marist all season long was high-
lighted on Saturday- the
offense's inability to finish what
it starts.·
- Freshrrian Matt Day knows his _
team
needs to \vork on eliminat-
ing thi_s problem.
"We'v~ really got to worlc on
finishing this week (in practice),''
he said'. "We have to put the ball
in the net when we get the
chance.''
Herodes _
will . concentrate on
correcting some more tangible
errors, as well as instilling the
killer instinct.
"We need to work on our
speed," he explained. "We're
very slow. I think it will help if
we work on ball movement this
week. .. we'll
try
to eliminate un-
necessary dribbling and' focus
on one-touch passing:.•·
The schedule gets tougher this
week,-as the Red Foxes-remain
on the road. They will travel to
Monmouth and Rider- both
conference foes, and both are
considered strong teams;
"(Last week's games)
are
wins
we counted on,'' Herodes stated.
"They were bad losses, to teams
we should have beat.''
The coach . worries about his
young team's ability to rebound
from the disappointing week.

ul~ before the season starts, you
