Marist has been asked to pro-

About
75
Marist students are
heading south to Atlanta this
summer from July
16
to Aug. 4
to help provide security for the
1996
Summer Games.
.
The opportunity was open to
. any interested Marist · students,
but was primarily designed for
criminal justice majors.
Mark LQughran, assistant pro-
fessor of criminal justice and
Marist's faculty contact at the
Olympics, said Borg~ Warner Se-
curity Co'. contacted a number
of schools nationwide with large
criminal justice programs and
asked for students to run secu-
rity at the Olympics.
"It will.be a dose ofreality for
these students," said Loughran.
''They will be in positions of re-
sponsibility."
· As Marist's faculty contact,
Loughran said he will appoint
student leaders to oversee
Marist's security venue.
According to Loughran, if
Marist has a larger group than
other schools, they will get a bet-
ter venue of work. They will
also probably receive passes to
certain events that aren't already
sold out .

FDA reviews RU-486 pill
BY LAURAN NEERGAARD
. Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP)-Ameri-
can women may know by the
end of the year if they can buy
the French abortion drug RU-486.
The Food and Drug Adminis-
tration confirmed Monday that
the nonprofit Population Coun-
cil filed an application last
month seeking to sell RU-486,
based on it'i results of testing
in
2,100 American women.
FDA Commissioner David
Kessler told Congress last year
it would take about six months
to detennine
if
RU-486 is safe
enough, and effective enough,
to sell to Americans. However,
the review could take up to a
year, the time the agency typi-
cally spends on drugs that don't
address life-threatening diseases.
The FDA is expected to ap-
prove the drug, based partly on
records of its use on 150,000
European women, where ithad
about a_ 97 percent success rate.
But the
U.S.
testing als_o would
have to sho'N
the
drilg
worked ..
. The
Population
Coliilcil
would
not· release those results . Mon-
day, be~ause it is awaiting pub-
lication of the data in a medical
journal.
Almost all of the nation's
1.3
million abortions are surgical,
although doctors last year began
publicizing the fact that a drug
already on the market to treat
cancer - methotrexate - also can
be used to induce abortion.
But RU-486, known chemi-
cally as mifepristone, .would be
the first drug specifically. ap-
proved by the FDA for non-sur-
gical abortion.
'Toe
FDA should not be ap-
proving a drug whose sole in-
tention is to kill," said Gracie
Hsu of the· Family_ Research.
Council, which opposes abortion .
Pressure from _abortion oppo-
nents prompted French manu-,
_
facturer Roussel
Uclaf
to_ refuse
· for years to bring RU-486 to this ·
country. Last· year, .the Clinton'
administration: brokered a deal
giving the Population Council
the
U.S.
patent rights to the drug,
so it could seek FDA approval.
RU-486 blocks development
of progesteron~, a natural s_teroid
hormone that is essentiatfor
maintaining pregnancy.
A
doc-
tor administers the pill and two
days later gives th~ ,woman _a
prostaglandin, a hormon_e that
causes contractions to expel the
embryo.
_
·
The process can be painful
and, because it takes several
days, many European women
have opted for surgicaFabor-
tions. Like surgical. abortions,.
there can
be
side effects, includ-
ing heavy bleeding and nausea,
and it can
lie

.··.· .. ;1Bec~us~;Qf,tt.i~ris~ •. f¢e{;ll..
health officials have said
RU-'.
486 won't be an over-tii.e-
counter remedy, and should be
administered only by specially
trained doctors.
The methotrexate that some
doctors already use for non-.sur-
gical abortions also requires a
return trip for a prostaglandin,
but it takes about a week instead
of two days.
· RU-486 also has been consid-
ered
as
a possible treatment for.
breast cancer and as a "morning
after" pill to prevent pregnancy,
and enough will
be
produced for
scientists to research those uses,
said council spc:>keswoman
Sandra Waldman.
Man scales White House fence, -

U.S.
law:Jraveling to Iraq
Supply children-'s hospital with medicine
BYWAIEI.FALEH·'
Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP)-Flout-
ing aU.S.travel ban to Iraq, five ·
Americans took medicine to a
children's hospital Sunday and
challenged the U.S. government
to prosecute them. The Ameri-
cans, from the group Voices in
the
Wilderness, delivered four
sacks and three boxes of medi-
cine, plus candy for children at
al-Qadissiya Children's Hospi-
tal. ,
The supplies ranged from an-
tibiotics to aspirin to vitamins,
all in short supply since compre-
hensive United Nations sanc-
tions were imposed in response
to Iraq'sJ990 invasion of Ku-
wait.
"We are doing this in defiance
,of United States law," said the
Rev. Bob Bossie,· a. Catholic
priest ·and spokesman for the
Chicago-based group. ·
The organization c,alled for the
lifting of "the immoral sanctions
against the children and families
oflraq." ·
Food and medicine may be im-
ported to Iraq under the U.N.
sanctions, but Iraq lacks the
money to pay for all it needs.
This year, President Saddam
Hussein agreed to negotiate on ·
a U.N. offer for Iraq to sell $1
billion in oil every three months
to buy_ humanitarian supplies.
Despite its pressing need for
medicine, Iraq previously re-
jected the offer as a violation of
its sovereignty. Each month in
Iraq, about 4,500 children die
from a variety of diseases, com-
pared to
600
a month before the
war.
__
"The children need medical re-
lief supplies and we do not have
what they need," said Shema
Waleed, one of the nurses at
al-
Qadissiya: The United States
imposed a travel ban on Ameri-
cans going to Iraq following the
Iraqi invasion that led to the
1991 GulfWar.
The U.S. Treasury Department
warned the visiting Americans
they could face fines ofup to $1
million and 12 years inprison
when they return. However,
travel penalties are rarely· en-
forced, and U.S. courts have
ruled previously that American
citizens are free to travel to any
country.

send the paper through the
WWW,
and the service will e-
mail the paper back to the stu-
dent. The focus is to help the
student polish-up a paper in a
more efficient time span.
This service is being tested in
two English writing classes and
a CIS graduale cla<;s.
"In order to get the bugs out,
we just need to practice it on
different populations before we
open it to the public," Sarkisian
said. "We hope to open it to a
wider audience in the future."
Another service is the Virtual
Tour of the Learning Center.
This service would familiarize
the user with the employees of
the learning center, with links
providing information to the
user on tutoring services and
lists of other on-line learning
centers.
Other planned services in-
clude an Arithmetic Mentor
(ARM), to help students with
math and an on-line message
delivery system integrated with
electronic mail and appoint-
ment scheduling. Also, they
hope to create an archive of
study skills for core curriculum
courses as well as an on-line
handbook for writers with the
help of a publishing company.
Marranca said he was very
confident that this home page
will help more students make
use of the Learning Center's ser-
vices.

·
"I
think it may help to moti-
vate them or recognize them;" he
said. "I think the parents are
more delighted than the students
to see the name on the list."
Bibeau said in considering
who they should hire, employ-
ers are looking at a college
student's overall record.
;'In tenns of jobs, they're look-
ing a t the types of courses and
programs and overall GPA's," he
said.
·
Being on the dean's list does
not seem to be the principal
means of motivation for many
Marist students.

Touhy said he understood the

Before
I
take off and ride in~q what _will hopef~lly 1'e a very relaxing senior yeii:r,
I
just wanted to let the.junior class know how much
I
enjoyed bei_ng-your_p_res_ident.
Entering the year,
I
had absolutely no idea of what to expect because
I
had never done
anything like this in my
Hfe.
Probably the ·most i_mportant point
t
wanted to stress
during the year was that
I
would always be there for our class.
I
think
I
have realized
that probably
the
best thing about the whole year·was not being ~e head of the class,
but rather just being in it. The past three years have been a pretty wild ride, and
I'm
just
glad
I
could help shape it in sorrie way. The people-I have met atMarist
are
the best
friends I have ever had.
I
really feel at home with this class, and I'm going to miss that
corrifm.t when our years at Marist have come t~ a close. This was my bottom-line
reason for taking .cin this position, and
I
hope that you
feel
I did the best
I
could. The
best closing advice
I
could give is to make the best of the time we· have left together.
Don't let anything go by that you want to do at Marist. Join that club you have always
wanted to join. Take that course· you have always wanted to
take.
Ask the person you
have had
a
crush on since freshman year to do something one night. These years are
very special. Don't let them fly
by! I'll
see you next year.
Looking forward to
an
amesome senior year,

MIPO directors show there's a humorous side to their job
byClfARLOTIE
Partridge
Staff
Writer .
"He was barely older tha~ the
· students he taught when. he first
came to Marist,'.' said Dr. Barbara
Corvallo, Director ofMarist Poll-
ing.
fu
1975,Dr.LeeMiringoffcame
to · Marist as a young, energetic
political science professor. Dr.
Miringoff and Dr. Corvallo are the
founders of the Marist Institute
of Public Opinion
(MIPO).
MIP0 began in 1978 and grew
out of the course called Political
Parties and Pressure Growth
taught by Miringoff.
The Marist pollsters team up
to do polls on a variety of issues.
In the process of taking the
public's pulse on the issues,
Marist becomes more· known
throughout the country.
"Marist's name is reaching into
every media market," Miringoff
said.
Miringoff leans back in. his
chair and twirls a red ball point
pen in his hand as he speaks.
This pollster is often seen on
the local, state and national news
informing the public of the re-
sults of the latest Marisfpoll. He
pointed out what he sarcastically
dubbed "the wall of shame."
On the wall in his office in
Adrian Hall are pictures of fa-
mous journalists and politicians,
mostly pictured with Miringoff.
Miringoff enjoys his job and on ·
some TV. spots he has fun• with
the camera. On one clip from a
· national· network .news. show,
Miringoff pushed his folder on
and off the screen.
. Miringoff laughed and said,
"I'm playing,
'I
know when I'm
on and when I'm not.'"
Corvallo got her B.A. from
Marist and then got her doctor-
ate and came back
to
work with
Miringoff.
Since both have doctorate· de-
grees, "We are a pair of docs"
(paradox) Miringoff joked.
As much as they love to show
their sense of humor, Corvallo
and Miringoff consider accuracy
a very important part· of their
polls.
·
"We are like McDonalds. We
strive for
i
00%
accuracy. And we
have never had to eat our results,
to continue the analogy,"
Miringoff said.
.
Although he enjoys joking, he
takes
MIPO's involvement with
students very seriously. Stu-
dents get a unique experience
working with the founders of
MIPO and polling.
MIP0 student-woker Theresa
Mottola, a senior, said she gets
opportunities like none others by
working at the polling institute.
"I
have a running conversa-
tion with a news director in Ken-
MIPO directors Lee Miringoff (center) and Barbara Corvallo show Peace Corps president
Mark
Gearan
(right) how interviewing wor:ks at the polling institute during his recent visit.
tucky.
I
talk to news directors I
haven't met about their kids,"
Mottola said.
Mottola and senior Melanie
Fester
are
marketing coordinators
for the new MIPO video news
project. Both have unforgettable
moments working for MIPO.
"I
got to meet anchors from
NBC and to see how the insides
of a station work," Fester said.
The two seniors said being
marketing directors for MIP0 is
a
good for their confidence most
of the time.
"It builds your self -esteem.
Some of the news directors treat
you like you are in the profes-
sion," Fester said.
Mottola said she finds it inter-
esting that they are not treated
as college students.
-~-'Most of the people we talk to
don't even know we are stu-
dents," Mottola said.
As serious
as
the institure for
public opinion is, everyone who
comes in contact with Miringoff
has to put up with his Jove of
puns.
Before I left the office,
Miringoff found me as I walked
out the door and said,
"It
was
Partridge and a pair of pollsters."

. ..
This policy is a ridiculous example of how Marist will tty
anything to make a quick buck
.
It is understandable that the college does not want every-
one waitiIJ.g
until
last minute to get their guest pass.
However, the service should be provided free of c:harge
regardless of when a student applies.
·
It is impossible for students to always know well in ad-
vance of when a fiiend may be visiting.
Besides, nothing is more fun that having a surprise visit
from an old high school buddy who you haven't seen or
talked to in months.
How much of an inconvenience is it for housing or security
to approve a
form
that students
fill
out?
And why isn't cash accepted?
Not every student has

policy.

Yet students now

don't have enough advance notice.
There is definitely a need to require
guest
passes, but charg-
ing a fee is unnecessary.

Students who do not apply for a guest pass before the
weekend should be able to pick one up at an alternate loca-
tion for
free.

To the
Marist basketball fans: tha~ you for your enthusiasm
Editor:
On behalf of the
:Marist
College basketball program,
I
would like to thank the students; faculty and staff
ofMarist College for its loyal support during the 1995-96 basketball season.
As you know, the Red Foxes finished the season with a school best 22-7 record, and their first post-
season bid to the National Invitational Tournament.
In
addition, our women's team compiled a com-
mendable 14-16 mark and an appearance in the Northeast Conference Tournament quarterfinals.
You; our loyal fans, played an integral role in this success by providing the electric atmosphere at the
McCann Center throughout the season. Thank you for being a part of the more· than 50,000 fans who
· gave the Red Foxes an extra spark and the opposing team an extra "player" to contend with all year long.
In addition, many of you supported the team on the road, highlighted by the five busloads of fans who
traveled to Marist's NIT game versus Rhode Island.
I
know
I
speak for our student-athletes and coaches
when
I
say that your support was one of the key reasons why this season was so successful.
We are extremely proud of our hardworking student-athletes and coaches, and are grateful for your
interest and involvement in Marist athletics. Your support will become even more important
as
our
teams begin competition in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) in 1997. Though basket-
ball season has come to a close, we look forward to seeing you soon as our spring sports season gets
underway.

Editor:
The editorial writer for the February 29 issue of

mark when
he
or she talked about the need for speed
bumps on campus.
They are the only reasonable method we can employ in an
attempt to keep traffic moving at a safe speed. And if the speed
bumps installed are
too
high in some locations they should
certaintly be cut down to an appropriate size. Our Physical Plant
staff will look into that issue once the spring thaw is completed and
any heaving caused by icing has subsided.
As to the issue of slow moving emergency vehicles, I want to
assure you that in a real emergency, that will not be a problem.
Security dispatch is in constant radio contact with fire and other
emergency vehicles on campus, even during drills. If there was a
working fire or real medical problem, they would be fully aware ofit
and the speed bumps would not slow them down.

TheMarist wrimeri's track team
enjoy~
a
day of exceptional
hi-
dividual success last Saturday,
atthe'West Point Invitational.
_ Almost every aspec(of the
meet was positive for head coach
Phil Kelly's Red Foxes. The team
received solid contributions from
at
least_ten worneri, five personal
records were set, and lhe weather
finally cooperated- the athletes
enj<;iyed a warm sunny day with
very little wind.
The highlight of the meet for
Marist was the squad's complete
domination of one event- the
5000m. Five Red Foxes placed in
the top seven, led by Kathleen
· · Woodson'. who "ran away with
it, right ff9mthe
g~t
go''. accord-
. ing to Kelly. Woodson set a per-
. sonal record of 19:04, making her
easy
victory even sweeter.
A pack of three runners battled
for second place the whole way,
and Mary McQuillan edged out
two of Binghanitori's
besf
t'o ·
claim second place, with a time
· of 19:·21 · (another personal
record). Karen-Donahue, Mel-
issa Zobel, and Alexis
Bequl!fY
crossed the finish.line 5th, 6th,
and 7th, respectively, completing .
Marist's outstanding effort in the
5000m.
DonahueandZobeleacli
established personal records as
well.
Marist also scored some points·
in the 800m. In one heat, Keri
Redmond and Meredith Halstead
finis\led in a virtual tie for first
place, withatimeof2:32. Allison
Murray ran an even faster time
in her heat (2:25.8), but was beat
by three other girls, in what Kelly
described as a ''very, very tQugh
field." Murray's time was a sea-
son
best
for her.
Halstead was the fifth Red Fox
to set a personal record in the
meet. In the 1500m, she claimed
third place with a time of 5:05.

Murray teamed up for a time of

place.
"It
was good to get Karen·
(Mangum) back," said Kelly.
"She really rari well. Having her
back helps us a lot." Mangum
had been out since the final meet
of the indoor season, with
tendonitis in her left ankle.
Kelly also praised the contri-
bution of Zobel, a senior who
has been busy with an intern-
ship.
"Melissa really doesn't have
much time to train. It was great
to see her do so well."
