Fantasy Man
convicted
of
ra,pe
By
PmL
WFSr
Associated Press Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)-The
Fantasy Man was convicted of
rape by fraud Thursday after two
women described how he duped
his victims into ~srobing and
agreeing to· blindfolded sex be-
cause they thought he was their
lover.
Raymond ~tchell
m
faces up_
to 30 years in prison for two
counts of rape by fraud and one
count of attempted
rape
by fraud.
His sentencing was scheduled
for March 14.
Police believe Mitchell, 45, has
ca!Jed hundreds of women over
the years. Most hung up on him.
But of the 30 .women who re-
ported Fantasy Man encounters
to police, eight said they had sex
with the caller. ·
·
Each encounter began with an ·
early morning phone call to the
sleeping women, prosecutors
said, Whispering softly, he per-
suaded them he was their boy-
friend and asked them to fulfill
his fantasy of having sex with a
blindfolded woman.
One woman said she had sex
with Fantasy Man twice a week
over two months in 1992, and
only
discovered he wasn't her
boyfriend when her blindfold
slipped off.
·
Charges were brought in. the
cases of two women -a 27-year-
old X-ray technician who testi-
fied she had oral sex and inter-
course with Mitchell, and a 29-
year ~old :flight. attendant who
said she peeked past her blind.,
fold and saw him masturbating
outside her motel window.
The two women gasped and
then sobbed quietly when the
verdict was announced after less
than three hours of deliberation.
''I'm really happy for the vie-.·
tims, '' said·· Deputy . District At-
torney General Tom Thurman.
'They were vindicated: They fi-
nally got a chance for people to
· firid out what happen~."
. Mitchell's lawyer, Ed·fowlkes,
argued that the womep were will-
ing·• participants, and·. that. they
should have realized he wasn't
their boyfriend, particularly
' since he talked with each of them
· for up to an hour.
. 'Thes~ ladies made good wit-
nesses,'' Fowlkes acknowledged
. after the
-
verdict. He said he
would appeal. .· .·
.
. .
The flight· attendant testified·
Wednesday that a caller con-
vinced her in August· 1992 that
he was the man she was to marry
in two weeks, and talked her into
checking into a motel room to
wait for him.

There has been a lot of changes

go, college or national, there will
always be a certain percentage
of the population that doesn't

we try to keep students involved
as much as possible with what's
going on with SGA
.
There have been over
400
people that havejoined resident
student counsels this year and
we try to keep them involved in
what happens with SGA affairs.
So we've been somewhat sue-

cessful. Some things we've tried

Most of the student body has
a very

things. In general, the feeling I
got from this campus is that it's
rnore conservative, obviously;
students are willing to go to a
school where they don't allow
drinking in residents ha11s, where
there
are
no condoms on cam-
pus, where they need to swipe
to get into residents halls.
Students who are willing to put
up with this kind
of
restrictive
measures have to
be
fairly con-
servative.

rights included diverse pro-

of these to heart?

Cryptosporidium in the water supply.
These organisms
are
protozoan, which
are
highly resistant to disinfectants, and
fil-
tration is the only way to treat them.
The organisms
can
produce extreme
stomach and intestinal disorders. Symp-
toms of such disorders include diarrhea,
cramps, nausea,
possibly jaundice, head-
aches and fatigue.
People who have compro~sed immune
systems, such
as
persons who
are
mv
positive, or who have AIDS,
are
highly
susceptible. Those who have cancer,
women who
are
pregnant, children, and
the elderly should also be
wary.
''But everyone is at risk," Glass said.
There were no reports of anyone com-
plaining of symptoms like those relating
to the virus.
'
Unfortunately, it will take a while to de-
termine if these organisms were present
in the drinking water.
"It's very difficult
to test for them," Glass
said
"It
could take one
to
two weeks for
the results of the tests to come back."
Testing
is
difficult because it takes the
water four to five days to pass through
the distribution system.
In
addition, the turbidity (muddiness)
of the water was ten times higher than
normal,
a
result of sediment being stirred
up.
" We're
·
constantly (every two hours)
monitoring the turbidity of the water, as
well as the water entering and leaving the
filtering systems," Glass said.

A
Presidential October
On Oct. l, First Lady Hillary
Rodham Clinton came to Hyde
Park
to receive the
Val-Kill medal.
Awarded for her efforts
in
pro-
moting a moral basis for democ-
racy, Hillary Clinton spoke to a
crowd of about
400
guests.
She told people to get in-
.
valved in their community and
pursue their dreams.
Unfortunately, Hillary
Clinton's visit
.
was somewhat
overshadowed by the an-
nouncement, only days before
her arrival, that her husband
would be meeting with Russian
president Boris Yeltsin at the
FDR Library three weeks later.
On Oct. 23, President Clinton
held a mini-summit at the library
.
in Hyde Park with Yeltsin to dis-
cuss affairs in Bosnia.
About 50 Marist volunteers
got the opportunity to work for
The White House in preparation
of Clinton's visit.
And
·
on his way to Marine
One, the President shook hands
with each of the volunteers,
thanking them for their help.
Adding to the historical event,
the Secret Service used Marist's
Student Center as their commu-
nications command center.
If
anyone called The White
House, from Connecticut to
China, a phone would ring at
Marist and a voice would an-
swer, "Hello, The White House."

Heads are Better
Than One
On May 3, SGA held the first
joint session in the club's his-
tory
to decide the fate of the
much debated club cap.
The Executive board and Sen-
ate worked together at the
·
spe-
cial meeting to raise the cap, al-
lowing Alpha Phi Delta to join
the Greek Council.
Prior to the joint session, the
cap was locked at 64, imposed
three years ago by Nella Licari.
A full contigency from APO
filled the room and cheers and
high-fives abou
.
nded when the
Senate voted to raise the cap.
What's a Matrix?
Another piece of legislation
passed at the same joint session
of SGA was the Noccar Disciplin-
ary Matrix. Little has been heard
about this new set of guidelines
the Senate approved wllich im-
pose tougherpenplties on clubs
that fail to complywith SGAmles.
Clubs were briefed on the ma-
trix at the beginning ofthe

will
separate into individual schools

The business department may
lead the way, being renamed the

Wai Kong, a junior information
systems major, said many people
create homepages just for fun.
Kong's page contains links to
_
Calvin and Hobbes, ice skating,
cooking and various other sub-
jects. She describes a link as a
site which once selected con-
nects an individual to further in-
formation about a subject.
Kong, being a Calvin and
Hobbes fan, has received e-mail
from many different locations.
"Once my roommate's aunt

even know who she was until she
asked my roommate if she knew
me," Kong said.
The Netscape program can
bring students to view pages,
and surfing the Net is a fairly
easy process.
Once a homepage is placed on
the Internet anyone can tap into
it through a directory of names

final State of the Un.ion Address
by
Christian Bladt
Last Tuesday, President Clinton delivered what Republicans hope was his final State of the
Union Address.
·
Clinton is in the enviable position of having a free one-hour commercial for his re-electi9n
campaign carried live on multiple broadcast and cable netw_orks.
It was an evening full of surprises.
·
Unfortunately, for the incumbent, most of them had little to do with his presentation. Probably the most
noteworthy event was the coverage of the address by Fox News. Fox News is a concept I had always chalked up
as an oxymoron, considering that this is the network who prides itself on its "6(}.second World News Update".
However, there they were trying to figure out what the speech meant, and just who was the tubby guy with gray
hair everybody was listening to?
The most interesting aspect of these addresses is always watching the camera focus on the members of the
opposing party. New York Senator Al D' Amato found Clinton's call for no further government shutdowns
almost as laughable as many Americans find D' Amato 's appointment to a Senate Ethics Committee.
Meanwhile, 90-year-old Strom Thurmond was just confused by the bright lights; But, thatis understand-
able considering he is almost as old as Bob Dole
.
While Clinton touched on some very important issues, there was very little substance to his speech.
He mostly stuck to safe topics like fighting crime and improving educational standards. Is there really
anybody who supports smoking among children?
.
·
Unfortunately, Clinton came off sounding more like a Republican than ever.
It is painful to hear this man utter phrases like "big government", oppose the entertainment jndustry
and call for school uniforms. On several occasions, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich looked as
surprised as
if
he had just been told to turn down a
$4
million book advance.

Of course, it is hardly surprising th

Some tradition
·
s need
to
be broken
Editor:
We have nothing against tradition
.
We are proud to be a part of
the 50th Commencement of Marist College
.
However, we as
.
womeri, do not like the fact that we do not have a choice in what
we wear for our senior pictures.
We understand the concept of uniformity by all the women being
required to wear the same black drap.
The
men get
to
choose what
they want to wear. Granted, it has to be a dark jacket and tie, but
they still get to express their individuality by choosing a particular
-
jacket
and tie. The women have no choice.
We have nothing against the drape, but we propose that all the
men be required to wear a standard suit or tuxedo or else allow the
women to choose their own proper attire. After more than $80,000
in tuition money, we think we should at least have a choice.
Some traditions are just archaic.

Staff Wri~er
Students who attend basketball
and football games 11tMarist may
have noticed that the band has
gone through an incredible
growth spurt in the past .t\VO
. years: quadrupling
in
size.. . .
'I\vo years ago it consisted of
only 10 members. Now the band
boasts 0\'er
45
student-musi-
cians.
Junior Jennifer Malcarne, presi-
dent of the band, said that she is
amazed at how the group has
changed over the past two
years.
''When I started in the band my
freshman year, it really wasn't
organized at a11," said Ma1carne.
"There were few members and
only one person in charge. Now
we are an actual club with vari-
ous leaders who divide the re-
sponsibilities of the band." .
Senior Kelly Magee, who has.
watched the band play at athletic
events, said she noticed the
changes that they have under-
gone over the past couple years.
''The students seem more en-
thusiastic now than they ever
were and there are a lot more stu-
dents participating."
Conductor
Arthur
Himmelburger, who ·has

since
1983
and
has been involved
with
the Marist band.for ni,ne·years,
saidhe is.imp~se,fby the stu-
dent leadership. ·
. · ..
''Little by little the band grew," .:
said Himmelburger.
"!(stilted,. .
with only tw.o trumpet players .
and myself playing the drums in
1987 .. The greatest growth of the
band occurred in. the past• two
years.
I
attribute that to our out-
standing ·student leadership
making the instrumental music
program
an
integral part of the
music department;"
Makame said that since the
band increased in size it now has
various sections other than the
Pep Band, which plays at athletic
events.
''Now there is a Jazz Band, Flute•·.
Ensemble, Clarinet. Ensemble,
Brass Ensemble,
~lld
Concert
Band," Malcarne said.
Himmelburger noted that with
. the addition of separate secti~ns
of the band came an expansion
of the staff.
"We have been able to expand
our instrumental musical staff,"
Himmelburger said. "Joseph
Mari.any is in· charge of the Jazz

structs the Brass Ensemble. Julie

However, according-to Jessica
Cramer, secretary of the ~and,
they are now giving scholarships
_to ·talented incoming freshman
who audition.
"We give two. band_ scholar-
ships to incoming freshman who
· are music minors," said Cramer.
''The scholarships

two .criteria: need and ability.
They must audition here for
Mark Lawlor; director of the mu--

Himmelburger."
.
,
. Although the band has qua-
. drupled in size, it does not hold .
try-outs.
.
"We accept anyone who. wants .·
to play," Malcame said. ''There-
fore, our band has many differ-
ent levels of playing ability."
· Himmel burger said that . he
· would like to see the band con-
tinue to grow and welcomes new
members;
. "Anyone who wants to join the
band is welcome," Himmelburger
said. "We encourage new mem-
bers."

cani:[)us guide: Ideas for the car-less cro.w;cl
For the first time in four
y...ars,
I
am
forced to do things in an am-
bulatory fashion. For the past
four weeks, I have been a car-
less senior.
The experience
has
humbled me
greatly, reminding me what it is
like to be a freshman with no
transportation. So, I have spent
my time investigating the Marist
campus to find out exactly
what's out there for the campus-
bound student.
The
Marist ~ollege billiard room.
has a great deal to offer students
looking for
a
place to hang out.
Five pool tabies are available for
$1.00perhalfhour.
This fee is per table, rather than
per person, making it very afford-
able for those who suffer from
"Poor College Student Syn-
drome."
Ping-pong tables are available
free of charge. There are also
video and pinball games, air
hockey, and a jukebox.
For those who ultimately want
to spend their evening at home,
board games can
be
signed out
for free and videos can
be
rented
for a dollar
per
night.
The billiard room, located in the
Marist Student Center, is open
Monday through Friday from
11 :30 a.m. until 2:00 a.m., and

· Another option that the · folks at

anyone wants to start 'paying to

Don't get me wrong, I person-

Well, for one thing, the lack of
seating in the McCann center
overall and for the students· in
general is a major problem. Stu-
dents have to go the game an
hour early to get a seat. Not ev-
eryone has all this extra time to
sit in the stands and watch the
mascot run around the gym. Even
though Mccann officials said
that they are looking into buy-
ing new bleachers for the ends
of the gym to create a stadium
effect, this is in the future. What
are the students to do in the
mean time? There are only three
more regular season home
games
left in the season. As for now, I

to be almost uncontrollable at

fans are turning out in droves but
there is no place to sit. McCann
officials said. that they never

will do whatever they can to ac-

Battle with Mount St.Mary's tested students' emotionstoo
by
JASON FARAGO.,
Special to the Circle
At
6:30
p.m., Saturday, January
27, sections 204 and 206
in the
Mccann Center were practically
filled. A phone-mail message,
such as the one about the water
being contaminated, was not
needed for this game. A red,
blinking light was unnecessary
to alert fans about the soon-to-
be sellout at McCann. But at
an
hour before game time, fans were
still filing in.
Ushers in
red
sweaters were
trying to place students where
there were no longer ample seat-
ing. At 6:45, 204 and 206 were
already fiUed yet they wanted
to
put more in. Maybe a phone mail
message should have been sent:
Standing Room Only.
Was all the enthusiasm over
the
men's basketball team being un-
defeated· in: the conference; or
they werejust piaying -~ell.
Or
could it have been that Mount
St.
Mary's was playing up north.
You remember the Mount.
Af-
ter
a
five hour bus ride
to
Mary-
land, they beat Marist, dashing
the Red Foxes hopes of advanc-
ing to the Northeast Conference
Tournament finaJs last
year.
That
could have· been the reason for
the extensive turnout. · But just
maybe, it got more personal, that
some bad blood had begun to stir,
maybe not among the players.
but the fans; fans that have
watclJed MSM beat Marist four
times in a row.
But this time around, Marist is
in first place (now tied) in the
NEC.
That did not seem
to
phase
MSM guard Chris McGuthrie
who said
afterward that
despite
Even with · all the yelling, chanting, and
bleacher shaking, it was not meant to be.
Marist being atop the conference
and
undefeated in conference
play, that his team was still the
ones being hunted since they
were the defending champs.
Regardless
if
last season's loss
played into the minds of the play-
ers, Marist knew they had their
work cut out for them. And as
the men came out of the tunnel
for
their
warm-ups, the fans were
the first to let MSM know about
iL
The "Basket Cases" were on
their feet. An Israeli flag was
waving
in
honor of Tomer Kami.
At 7:42, both teams met at center
court for
the jump ball.
Fans were
still trickling in. The game
was
underway.
Marist came out early with a lot
of emotion but
as
MSM edged.
out to an early lead, the life that
usually energized the Marist
crowd grew sullen. Even dunks
by Kareem Hill and an open court
block by Chris Grill were not
enough to keep the crowd in it.
But it was early and even though
204
and
206
were there, they did
not show the
life
they had
ear-
. Jier. Those with painted
faces
waited eagerly to emerge, wait-
ing for just the right moment to
erupt and display their artwork.
At the haJf, it was only a seven
point deficit and the Basket
Cases
still
had a
pulse.
And with
10 minutes left in the game, it was
five and the pulse was racing as
the crowd took turns yelling for
''Defense.,. .. They were on their
feet and the· emotion _:was re-
turned. But-five was the.hump
Marist ·never could quite over-
come. Even with all the yellirig,
chanting, · and bleacher shaking,
it was not meant to be as Marist's
valiant comeback came up
a_
couple of jump shots short: It
was after·
9:30
and the crowd
started to leave. Sections 204 and
206 did not want to believe it.
After the game, Alan Tomidy
said that a lot of pride and heart
went into this game. By the at-
mosphere at McCann, that state-
ment was undeniable and that
MSM
are
the
champs until some-
body knocks them off. For now,
DaveMagaritysaid the game has
to be .put in the back of their
mind's.
