-WASHINGJON (AP)-The
Clinton administration'.s education tax
' package was sharply crjtidzed at a
Senate hearing Wednesday, :with Re-'
publicans claiming .it would further
inflate tuition costs and Democrats
saying it would not do enough to help
low income students.
The Senate Finance· Committee
heard a number of horror stories about
rising tuition, with one dental student
saying she will graduate from the State
University of New York at Buffalo
with $90,000 in debts. :
Senate Finance Chairman William
v.·
Roth Jr., R-Del., said tuition at a
four-year coliege i_ncreased 234 per-
cent between 1980 and 1995.
"This is leading to alarming levels
. of debts for our young people," he said.

administration's· education tax pack-

Grant for.join venture linking Marist
tolocalhigh·schools awaits approval
by
BEN AGOES
Asst. News Editor
Bill Nye the
.
Science Guy will have stiff
competition in
area
high schools next year,
thanks to a joint venture by the Arlington
Central School District and Marist Col-
lege.
Science classes all over Dutchess, Or-
ange, and Ulster counties will communi-
cate with each other like never before as
they surf the information superhighway
and chat over Marist's mainframe com-
puter.
According to Andrew Molloy, Marist
dean of science, the hope is to bring area
teens together in one large virtual class-
room where they can share ideas and sci-
entific data.
The program, called "Science on the
Move" is targeting
39,000
public and in-
dependent high school students, and will
be funded primarily by an anticipated
grant from the National Science Founda-
tion.
Molloy said the grant is expected to be
about
$1.2
million over three years, but
Marist has not yet received confirmation
from the NSF.
Yet, Molloy said he is optimistic the
foundation will approve the grant before
the end of the school year.
"We have been working w
_
ith them con-
tinually since [August]," he said, "and the
prospects have been getting brighter and
brighter."
·.
Further funding for the project is com-
ing from IBM
.
and the Dyson Foundation.
Together, they will donate more than
$400,000, Molloy said.
He said it is important for people to real-
ize Marist will not be financing the pro-
gram with tuition money.
"For the college to take tuition money
and invest it in something like this, it is
not the right thing to do," he said.
Instead, the college will participate by
having a computer training session
·
this
summer for the 134 teachers expected to
be involved. Also, a total of
53
high
schools will have access to Marist's main-
frame, and Marist faculty members will co-
teach science classes at participating
schools.
Molloy said each school will be
equipped with computers that are net-
worked to one another. A Marist faculty
member will visit each high school five or
six times a year, bringing 28 laptops for
students to use. Students will use the
computers to conduct experiments, and
to exchange data with other schools.
Schools will have to share the equip-
ment, but Molloy said it will not be a prob-
lem.
"I
hope we can encourage the concept
of sharing resources and talent," he said
.
He said it is important the program tar-
gets high school students because that
is where future scientists start.
"We need a population that has a better
understanding and openness to the sci-
ence age we live in," Molloy said. "It all
begins with good experiences in the high
schools
.
because that is where the inter-
est in science
,
is developed."

Goot prepares to take over as editor-in-chief
byKRISTIN RICHARD
Editor-in-chief
Junior Michael Goot, currently
the managing editor of The
Circle,
will
take over as editor-
in-chief next fall.
Goot, a double major in history
and journalism, said he iseager
to take on the new position be-
cause he is interested in pursu-
ing a career in journalism after
graduation.
"It will give me experience with
newspapers, and also with writ-
ing," he said.
Goot said next year, he hopes
to improve the appearance and

Michael Goot
will
take over next fall as editor-in-chief ofThe Circle.
"I'd like to see some more in-
depth stories. We did some of
that this year," he said. "I'd also
like to see us expand our use of
photographs and graphics."
Goot said he plans to get The
Circle'.'> web page, which was
created this year, up and running
by the fall as another news out-
let. He said he is still searching
for a web editor, however.
According to Goot, The Circle
plays a vital role in informing the
faculty, administration, and stu-
dents of current issues at Marist.
"I'd like to think we're a pro-
active paper, instead of reacting
to things that already hap-
pened," he said.
As for next year's staff, Goot
said he is pleased that many ex-
perienced students are moving
into editorial positions.
"A lot of people have been in
other positions on the paper, so
we should have a smooth transi-
tion," he said.
Next year's staff includes
Stephanie Mercurio (managing
editor), Ben Agoes (news editor),
Gyna Slomcinsky (feature editor),
Tim Manson ( opinion editor), Jim
Dzieiynski ( A&E editor), Steve
Wanczyk (sports editor), Chris
Hogan (business manager), Chris
Thome (focus editor), and Diane
Kolod (photography editor).
. Goot said his staff does plan to
return early again in the fall to
produce a semester preview to
welcome in-corning freshmen.

panies," he said.
Zofia Gagnon, an environmen-
tal science professor, said that
Ehrenfeld's lecture was a helpful
tool in the student'. s understand-
ing of the issues, usually only
discussed in the classroom.
"The necessity of tests and
exams dilutes the importance of
the problem. I wanted the stu-
dents to hear it from someone
who is directly involved with the
problem of overpopulation and
research on the agricultural in-
dustry," Gagnon said.
Aimee Roux,
an
environmen-
tal science major, attended the
lecture with her capping class.
Roux said that Dr. Ehrenfeld's
message _tied in with the topics
covered in class.
"It brought together a lot of
ideas we've already _discussed in
capping, and it reinforced a lot
of the ideas I already had," Roux
said.

Students take their talents
off-campus to perform 1n
_
Gods pell performance
by
EMILY KUCHARCZYK
Staff Writer
A few Marist s
.
tudents are
showing
their community
spirit
in Fishkill.
Sophomore Craig Murray,
along with other Marist students
,
will be perfonning in the musi-
cal Godspell at St. Mary's School
in Fishkill May I, 2, and 3.
.
Murray, who plays a disciple
in the musical, said the show
demonstrates the potential
Marist
students
have to volunteer
in the outside community
.
"One of the things at Marist is
that we very seldomly get in-
volved outside of Marist, and I
think this is just really neat that
a whole group ofMarist students
were all totally unconnected with
Maristjust being involved in the
community," he said. "I think
that's something we really need
to try to do at Marist
,
to reach
out
to
the community."
Godspell is a musical based on
the gospel of Matthew done in
the early 1970s.
Murray said it is basically
about Jesus teaching the dis-
ciples and about the crucifixion
.
Murray heard
about
the show
through a friend who is a mem-
ber of St. Mary's parish.
He said the musical was part
of a program to rekindle faith in
the Catholic church
,
especially
the young.
"They saw a really great need
in the parish for a youth group
and more youth involvement so
they decided to try to form a
group and that didn't work," he
said.
Murray also said the parish
then tried another idea to in-
crease youth involvement.
"They came up with the idea
'well why don't
we
have
a
big
project and from
that start
a
youth
group
and
somebody sug-
gested doing Godspell
,"
he
said.
The need to bring more young
people into the church
is
one of
the reasons Murray said he is
participating in the
show.
"I
saw it as one of my personal
things with the church is that
youth isn't involved enough and
I thought this was a really neat
project with the church that was
trying to reach out to the youth,"
he said
.
Students participating in the
program range in age from
IO
to
20. Murray said one of the best
aspects
about the musical for him
is watching the younger kids
transfonn on the stage.
"It is really neat especially to
see the little girls who are
shy
now standing up on
stage
screaming and belting out their
lines and being self confident,"
he said. "You
'
re seeing the kids
go from really shy and unsure of
themselves to being little drama
queens.
"
Another aspect Murray
said
that makes the show interesting
is its modem
spin
on the gospel.
"It's a different spin on stories
we all know," he said.
"I
mean
we all know the Beatitudes, we
all know Jesus was crucified, but
this is done in a really realistic
and modem way."
Murray said anyone who is in-
terested should attend the musi-
cal because he said people can
learn a great deal from it.
"It's something that I think
can really bring home the mes-
sage of what the gospel is all
about to modern day people,
something that I feel can defi-
nitely affect people in a positive
way," he said. "It's a lot of fun."

Seniors prepare for the real world
a~_graduation repidly approaches

by
KELLY BALSER
Staff Writer
The class of 1997 is at the end
of their college careers and on
the brink of graduation.
Some will go on to graduate
school, some will venture out
into the "real world" to find jobs.
No matter what the path, though,
it seems most will miss life at
Marist.
Nicole Capozza, senior busi-
ness/finance major, said she will
be attending graduate school af-
ter graduation.
"I know I'm ready to leave
Marist, but I'll miss all the
friends I've made here," said
Capozza.
Senior psychology major
. Bridget Kurmay said she will be
working for a year to be able to
pay for graduate school after-
ward.
"I'd like to be a counselor one
day, so I definitely need to go to
graduate school," said Kurmay.
"I'll
be
sad when I leave, but I
think I'm ready to move on now
to new things."
Danielle DiGeronimo said she
will not be doing what she in-
tended after graduation.
'Tm an English major, and
I
thought I'd be going into jour-
nalism after graduation," said
Di Geronimo.
But, jut recently, DiGeronimo
accepted a job offer
to be
a
buyer
for Macy's.
''I'll be in an executive train-
ing program for six months, and
then
I'll
become a buyer."
Even though, for some, mov-
ing on will be difficult, many
agree they are ready to leave .
DiGeronimo said she is very
excited to graduate and is happy
to be starting her career.
'Tm happy to be independent
from my parents and making my
own money," DiGeronimo said.
"But, I am going to miss my
friends and long vacations."
Kristin Shirtz, a senior journal-
ism major, said she is planning
to work at home for the summer
and eventually wants to find a
job in New Jersey where she can
live with her sister.
"I transferred here two years
ago, so it feels like my time here
has been very short," said Shirtz.
· "I'll miss everyone I"ve met
here, but I'm happy to be done
with school."
We would like to congratulate Regina Casey and Willow Lanpher
for winning second place in the Mark of Excellence Awards. Con-
gratulations Regina and Willow!

Editorial
What you stand for in life is more
important_than where you stand
As a graduating senior, my brain has been overloaded with thoughts of where I will
be this time next year, whether it will be working or in graduate school. And, as I
attempt to plan out the next phase of my life the best I can, I have become very
conscious of not losing sight of my values.
I never want to be the type of person who is overly concerned with money and
forgets exactly what makes me happy. Losing site of my values was something that
concerned me for a while when I began to think about taking up my place in the real
world. But, now I realize it would take much more than even a restructuring ofmy life
to make me forget where I came from.
-
After 21 years of my parents instilling values in me, 4 years of listening to Father
Luke's homilies, and
4
years of simply interacting with students and faculty at Marist,
my values are now an integral part of who I am. I am confident they will not just slip
away when I leave this institution for bigger, and hopefully better, things.
People say you learn something new every day, and every so often, what you learn
is worth keeping with you. Over the past four years, I have learned a tremendous
amount from the people I met at Marist.
From my housemates, I learned the values of friendship and acceptance, and from
my best friend, I learned honesty and loyalty. My capping group taught me that you
can accomplish anything
if
you work together as a team, and some of my Circle
friends taught me that you will feel much better about things if you just smile. I
learned from my professors that I should always work to my full potential, and they
gave me much of the self confidence I will need in the future.
As for the values· I hold closest to me, love and compassionfl must say that I
leamed,them in. the comfort of my own home, but they were also_ enforced by my ,
friends and classmates here at Marist.
·: .,, . •
Now, as I prepare
to
leave the campus I have caJled home for the past four years, I
will be carrying with me much more than a diploma. I will take four years of memories,
the lessons I have learned from a countless number of mistakes, and of course, the
value system I have formed over the years.
That way, no matter where I
will be standing in the future, at least I will be sure of
what I am standing for.

1997 Yearbook editor responds to
students' criticisms of 1996 Renyard
Editor:
I am writing in response to the letters that appeared in April 17, 1997 issue of
The
Circle. I am tired of the criticism.
How can the yearbook committee of the 1997 Reynard be expected to take the blamefor
anything that went wrong with the 1996 yearbook? We cannot undo the mistakes that
were made in last year's yearbook. Instead, we can only
try
to make this year's year-
book better.
.
The students at Marist have to take into account the fact that the students who are in
the yearbook committee are doing this as a club. Other colleges find their yearbooks so
important that the administration offers it as a separate journalism course. At Marist,
the yearbook committee has to work twice as hard, just so their peers can have some-
thing, anything to remember their college years.
This year's committee was a bit delayed by the production oflast year's book. Still, we
were well into the I 997 yearbook by the end of the first semester. We began taking
pictures of sports, students, and the campus soon after the first meeting had taken
place. Yearbook editors had been picked, and regular meetings kept committee mem-
bers informed about what they were supposed to be doing, and what should have been
· done already. It is a joint effort to make sure things are going the way they should, and
everyone is confidant about the success of this year's yearbook. As students, we are
all
able to relate to the excessive amount of work that"is required of any student in order
to do well.·
On top of class work, members of the yearbook committee are brave enough to take
on the work l9ad ofan extra course (without receiving any class credit). It is a shame
there are not enough people on the campus,who are willing·to.take,on this'challenge

the 1997 graduates about how they.should not waste their money by buying this year's
yearbook and John D. Svare's comment about how 6'the Reynard should show more
competence in producing a potential recruiting tool," greatly angered me.
This is not unlike a lot of the unproductive criticism we have been hearing about the
1996 yearbook. If people believe a better job could be. done, they should react by
joining future yearbook committees. Nothing can be done about the yearbooks of the
past, but productive comments can help us improve future yearbooks.
I believe that with the cooperation of the students, the sports teams, graduates, staff,
faculty, etc. we could actually produce yearbooks of higher quality. A yearbook that
would reflect all the great memories that have beeri made at Marist College, not just one
that reflectsjust how great we think our college is, one that we would be proud to show
our friends in the future.
Olayinka Taylor-Lewis, Editor-In-Chief of the 1997 Reynard
General
Manager
congratulates
WMCR staff on job well done in '96-97
Editor:
Well, the end of the year is upon us and WMCR is now in the hands of the new
management. I just wanted to thank everyone who helped make a potentially disastrous
year into a positive experience.
The Student Activities Office (you know ... Bob, Steve, Renee, Linda, Chiara and all of
the student workers) along with the Student Government Association were incredible.
They were both there to help us out of every jam we got into ... and there were many!
The School of Communications, especially Professor Cole ( our advisor)were there to
give us any guidance or advice that was needed. I hope that the members of WMCR will
always go to these people with questions.
Without MCTV and Jon Gorham we would be an empty station right now. They helped
us get back on the air and _we will not forget that. Jon exemplifies what a student leader
in a good club is. Thanks Jon!
As for the management and members of WMCR, you are all amazing. Every time we
had to go off the air, I thought we would lose you and I was wrong every time. You really
showed great dedication and a true desireto make the club work. You are what WMCR
is all about. As for me .. .I am out of here. Thank you all for a great trip, it has really
been amazing. l wouldn't trade any of the experiences at WMCR for anything ... well,
maybe some of them! Good luck Greg and the rest of you new WMCR people. Make
me proud!

But, in the end, the whole discussion is really moot, when you
consider the fact that this is a loan to Bob Dole that has to be paid off
in eight year's time.
How likely is it that Dole will be around to break Newt's kneecaps
if
he does not pay up? This is the ultimate proof that all along Newt's
problems have been treated as deserving nothing more than a slap
on the wrist because he is a man who many.including himself, feel is
above the law.
It
is fitting that this is the topic of my last column for the semester,
because it was also the topic of my first column this semester, three
months ago. Newt's all-but nonexistent fines for his ethical impropri-
eties are a prime example of the way that things in Washington work,
or more accurately, how they do not work. These ethical problems
have slowed down the House's legislation to a virtual standstill,
leaving us wondering about that revolution the Republicans were
supposedly bringing to the United States government.
In his statement on the House floor, Newt said that he had "a moral
obligation to pay the
$300,000 out of personal funds, that any other
step would simply be seen as one more politician shirking his duty
and one more example of failing to do the right thing."
This, of course, is exactly what he is doing. He is one more politi-
cian shirking his duty because not only does he think that he could
get away with it, he knows that he can get away with it.
Now, with the matter supposedly resolved, and the House attempts
to get back to work, we can only wonder how effectively Newt will be
able to lead this Congress with his self-styled crown so noticeably
tarnished, and if there is any way that this could possibly do any
good for America .

the harder working
bands in the. music industry to-
day, I'm sure no one is more
aware'of this than their own gui-
tar technicians.
_ During their 90 minute set in
the James J: Mccann Recreation
Center this pastSaturday night,
lead singer Glen Phillips and co.
recorded more than 15 guitar

a drawn-out, lackluster perfor-
mance which would send the
audience away dissatisfied.
In the midst of their technical
melee, however, the band man-
aged to keep their composure _
and even make light of the situ-
ation. Phillips dismissed it all as
"the one night that the gods of
chaos are looking down on
them," and then continued to
entertain just under 1,000 Marist
students and fans.
Once the problems were cor-
rected, the performance took on
an entirelynew appearance. Af-
ter all, this was only the third
show of their first tour in three
years.
In fact, the amount_of techni-
cal mishaps may have lent a side
to the show that most bands in
music today
fail
to produce.
The members of Toad showed
that they were human, and thus
the show took on a very infor-
mal and personal air, something
which can be very refresh_ing to
concert -'goers.
Supporting, their new album,
Coil, which is to be released on
May 20, Toad spent more than
hillf of their.set introducing their
new sound production. .

Come Down, as well as the

They touched all of the bases,
from their socially relevant
Whatever I Fear to their impas-
sioned Throw it all Away.
Of course, Toad did remind the
crowd exactly who they were
before their short hiatus, playing
many of their popular songs, in-
cluding All I Want and Walk on
the Ocean, which the band saved
for their closing number.
The
night was filled with a mixture
of alternative, folk, pop, and rock
influences, handed out in very
even portions, showing that Toad
the Wet Sprocket is a very di-
verse and open-minded band.
Complimenting the perfor-
mance of Toad was Marcy Play-
ground, a threesome from Min-
neapolis via NYC. In a day and
age where most opening bands
are hand picked by management
for soundcheck fodder, Marcy
Playground actually added some
dimension to the evening.
An extremely tight group, they
managed to catch the attention
of the audience with their excel-
lent
musicianship
and
songwriting abilities.
The combination of Toad the
Wet Sprocket and Marcy Play-
ground gave the Marist Campus
a performance worthy of their
admission. Hats off to SPC, the
Student Programming Council,
for on this night they lived up to
their statement on the ticket stub,
"Bringing you exciting entertain-
ment,

'Once Upon
A
Mattress'
is
fairy tale
fun
for the entire family
by
Christian Bladt
Opinion Editor·
"Many m9ons ago, in a far_off
place, sat a handsome' prince
with a gloomy facefor he did not
have a bride ... "
_- _ ·
_
So begins "Once Upon
A
Mat;;
tress," a delightfully wacky tell-
ing
of
Hans
Christian
Anderson's "The Princess an the
Pea."
_
"Mattress'' was Mary Rodgers'
first foray into the world of mu-
sical theater. Of course, this was _
no .small ',task, in_ that-Rodgers
had to
try
and
fill the "Very Soft
Shoes" of her father, Richard
Rodgers, one of the legendary
Rodgers and Hammerstein, who
are responsible for the majority
of plays put on by com~unity
theaters and high schools every-
where.
However, "Mattress" began
under less than auspicious cir-
cumstances in the Poconos of all
places. In the summer of 1958,
Marshall Barer and Jay Thomp-
son wrote a play that would
showcase the talents of the ac-
tors that were on staff at the
Tamiment adult summer camp.
As a result, the play ended up
with a delightful range of char-
acters. From the talkative Queen
Aggravain to the King Sextimus
the Silent, "O11ce Upon A Mat-
tress" features ·the most enchant-
ing royal court ever to set foot
on a stage. · ·"-
Written in the space of three
weeks, and intended for only one
week's run at the camp, the play
was revived

professionals. On the strength of
that single performance, the pro-
ducers were offered a Broadway
run, provided that it could t>e ex-
panded into a two act musical.
In May 1959, "Once Upon A
Mattress" went up at the Pho~-
nix Theater, with a charmingly
talented newcomer named Carol
Burnett in the role of Winnifred
the Wobegone. Months later, it
would move to the Alvin The-
ater, The Winter Garden, the
Cort, and then finally at the St.
James. Thus, the show became
known as _"the most moving
musical in town".
·
No matter where "Mattress"
was being put on, it was met with
overly enthusiastic crowds,
if
not ·.
with overly favorable reviews.
Apparently, this goes along
with the territory, as the current
revival of "Once Upon A Mat-
tress" (the first time that it has
been on Broadway in three de-
cades) has been doing quite well,
despite being trashed by USA
Today and local New York tele-
vision.
The current production, at the
Broadhurst Theatre, features the
adorable Sarah Jessica Parker in
the role that made Carol Burnett
famous. Like Burnett, one might
not instantaneously think of
Parker as being the best suited
for the role of a princess in a
musical fairy tale. But, after ac-
tually seeing the show, I cannot
think of anyone else who could
have done such a wonderful job
with the role.
It is astounding how Parker has
made the part of Winnifred her
own, mixing a goofy tomboy
with a stunning princess, and just
a little bit of a ham thrown in.
In her first number, Parker ser-
enades the court, explaining that
. she had always been "Shy", as
she wittily proceeds to upstage
the company of knights that ac-
company her throughout the
song. The frenzied pace of"Shy"
shows the audience that this is
not your average run-of-the-
mill-someday-my-prince-will-
come sort of princess. She can
sing, dance, and do impressions,
but, most importantly, this is the
kind of girl that will swim the
moat to get her man.
The "handsome prince with the
gloomy face" mentioned at the
outset of the show, Prince Daunt-
less the Drab,
is
equal! y as goofy
as the princess, and he is of
course enchanted by this prin-
cess that calls herself "Fred".
This comes a~ross beautifully in
David Aaron Baker's loveably
bumbling portrayal of the prince.
Dauntless is instantly smitten _
with Winnifred, ~s is the audi-
ence and the rest of the cast alike.
Everyone, except for
Dauntless's overly protective
mother; Queen Aggravain, who
would rather keep her son, at the
tender age of 36, at arm's length.
Despite his mother's wishes,
Dauntless cannot help but fall in
love with Winnifred, which is
superbly illustrated in a number
that is new with this revival
"Goodnight, Sweet Princess".
Thus, the queen, assisted by
Merton the court Magician (who
is oddly silent and ominously
shrouded in black for this pro-
duction) devise a test to prove
whether or not Winnifred·is a
real princess. It is at this point
that we realize that this is one
nasty queen. Thanks to a won-
derful performance by Mary Lou
Rosato, this queen is right up
there with the one from Snow
White in terms of sheer nasti-
ness.
Her idea is to test her for sen-
sitivity by placing a small pea
underneath 20 soft mattresses, as

The fact that the history of this

100 years makes it seem like a
big brother always picking on a

the younger boy needs that older

goes for the older brother.

Rugby program makes great strides at the clublevel
by
CHRIS JETIE
Staff Writer
, .
The women's rugby team fi-
nally achieved their first win in
their young history.
The Red Foxes defeated Drew
15-5 to break out of their winless
streak.
The women were propelled by
the excellent play of Amy
Connelly, who playing at the
"eight man" position, scored
twice in the game.
·
Also contributing to the Red
Foxes' victory was the play of
Alison Rigaud at ScrumHalf.-·
According to Lynn Dethlefsen,
a member of the team, the Red
Foxes showed, "a lot more ag-
gression" in the game against
Drew.
Dethlefsen also added
that the team "started off slow"
in the game, but eventually
pulled themselves together to
notch their first victory.

Alcohol awareness program
_
not effective
according to recent student evaluations
byBenAgoes
Asst. News Editor
Scathing student evaluations
are prompting coordinators of
Marist's alcohol awareness pro-
gram to make broad changes to
the program's curriculum.
Marist has required for the
past three years that students
caught with alcohol attend one
·
alcohol awareness meeting or
be fined $25. But because of
recent criticisms, administrators
reviewed the effectiveness of
the program's activities and
handbook and overhauled
the
cla'-S.
According to Terra Bailey,
Marian Hall resident director
and coordinator of the alcohol
awareness program, the new
program debuted on March 20
but was criticized more than the
old one.
"It was a whole different for-
mat using overhead slides, and
it was a little dry," she said.
She said the slides were too
repetitive and made the class
more like a lecture instead of
promoting interaction between
the students and directors.
Bailey said the slides were
dropped following their disap-
pointing debut, but a new sur-
vey about a person's suscepti-
bility to alcoholism and family
history will be kept.
Sophomores Jessica Benoit
and Lindsey Martelle com-
pleted the program this semes-
ter after they were caught drink-
ing in theirroom in the Mid-Rise.
Martelle said she learned little
at the meeting.
"The most we learned was
that a lot of people get caught
drinking,'' she said. "There was
probably about 30 kids at

According to Benoit, the
meeting contained some good,
but redundant information
:
"There were informational
parts to the meeting, so
·
you
could
.
have learned something
·
·
if you wanted to," she said.
"But most of the kids our age
already knew what they told
us.
"
Senior Dave DeLorey said in
a separate
·
interview he agreed
that the program does not give
students any new information.
.
He said the meeting he at-
tended lacked credibility be-
cause the coordinator seemed
to know so little about students
and alcohol.
. _
''We weren't educated at all
because we seemed to
_
know
more about it then her.
·
She
tried to shock us with statistics,
but we had heard it all before
,
"
DeLorey said.
According to Hem Borromeo,
Champagnat mentor and co-fa-
cilitator of one of the meetings,
it is expected that students will
know more about student-alco-
hol issues than the resident di-
rectors or mentors conducting
the meetings
.
He said it is important to re-
member that the people in-
volved are not professionals in
dealing with alcohol related
problems. Because of this, he
said, he was continually
shocked by the amount students

have had with alcohol.

exciting and adventurous things
to see and do·, none of which I
can afford! Thusly, lturn to the
wonderful world of music to
soothe my need for summer sig-

Multi-media star Henry
Rollinsjust released a power-
ful new album called Come in

to pass time or to relieve those

for Echo tour is one of the best
shows you can ever hope to see.
Rush is one of the greatest
bands of all time and this Cana-
dian trio never lets an audience
down!
As for summer movies, my
suggestion is to check out
smaller, independent films like
those shown at Upstate Films up
the road in Rhinebeck. A couple
good rentals include Stealing
Heaven and Heavy (filmed right
here in Poughkeepsie and Hyde
Park).

Well, there are a few ofthe
things you can do to whittle
away those dreamy, endless
summer days. For the more ad-
