Moisture in cement flooring

\
Js.dministrators on edge

byBENAGOES
News Editor
The doors to the new James J.
Mccann Recreational Center
remain closed because of a
string of complications that
•
have pushed the addition's
opening date nearly eight
months behind schedule.
Tom Daly, director of Physical
Plant, said in a Sept. 19, 1996,
Circle edition that the building
was expected to be completed
in Jan. 1997, but recent problems
with the moisture content in the
cement floor has pushed back
that target to this October, or
even beyond.
"I was expecting to come back
and it would be all done," he
said.
"I
think the students are
·
getting the short end of the stick.
We pay an activities fee and we
can't even work out!"
He said he wants the college
to wait and put the floor in cor-
rectly, but it has taken too long.
"It's good that they are going
to do it right, but they should
have thought about this whole
process and done it right in the
first place," Casperson said.
Sullivan said the building is
going to be dedicated during
homecoming weekend, Oct. 25
and 26, and the college hopes
to have the floor done by then.
But if moisture levels are still
too high. he said, administrators
have been looking into a con-
tingency plan that could include

Sullivan said he was disap-
pointed the building was not
completed by September, but
that will all be forgotten when it
opens.
"I
am disappointed because I
would have liked it at the begin-

ng of the year, but that won't
take away from it when it finally

is going to be the most ad-
vanced facility in the northeast.
In just a recruiting standpoint,
it is going to be fantastic. Rome
wasn't built in a day, and
·nei-
ther was the Mccann Center."
Casperson said he is worried
about future Marist construc-
tion projects. A year and a half
to build McCann was too long,
he said.
"You
have to think, if
it

them this longfor McCann. how
long will it take them to finish

lease is not connected to the
.Marist/IBM Joint Study, or the
proposed Digital Library .
Tim Massie, director of col-
lege"relations, said the lease will
put :Marist
_
above other colleges
in terms of technology.
"These computer lab up-
grades were vital to maintain
Marist's leadership position as
a technologically advanced ~ol-
lege," he said.
·
Massie also said it is hard to
keep up with the changes.
"One of the difficulties with
technology is rapid change. It
is nearly impossible to upgrade
equipment as continuously as
we would like. However, we are
fortunate we can do entire labs
at one time, and we will continue
to look at
.
this each year to meet
the ever-changing demands of
technology."

as nothing intentional."
The recent change in the pri-
rity points system, associated
ith the unexpectedly large re-
uest for on-campus housing,
really affected room assign-
ents 'for upper-class stu-
ents this year.
The averages needed for on-
ampus housing was changed
s a result of the in
.
creased al-
otment of priority points for
PA, and"the Housing office
as unable to predict how
many students to expect
this
year because there was no prior
standard.
The cut-off was set at
27 pri-
ority points which denied
housing to 150 upper-class
students.
There were still too
many people to accommodate
. for even after the cut-off was
determined
.
Some upper-class students
were angered by their unex-
pected arrangements.
"I
think it's ridiculous in
Gartland where there's no room
.
to sufficiently fit two," said
Mike Milby.junior.
"There's
not enough room for the furni-
ture and
I can't even unpack
everything because there is no
room."
Originally 142 build-ups were
assigned, but 22 have already
been broken down in the past
two weeks because of hous-
ing no-shows and withdrawals.
A $400 refund will be granted
to all those students still in a
triple after Sept. 22.
The Housing office will con-
tinue to breakdown the triples
based on the dates of deposit
for first-year students and pri-
ority points for upper-class
students even after that date.
Eriole said the Housing of-
fice is doing its best to break
up all build-ups by the end of
the year.

"Otherwise,

_
According

to

Linda Dunlap,
professor of psychology, the
public
sees
celebriiies
as

they would like to be.
"People
align with the rich and
beautiful so to live vicariously

Dunlap said that this desire to

said.
'It
[celeb-
rity gossip] brings them down

According to Cole, the amount
of and necessity for medit1
scru-
tiny is dependent upon the ce-
lebrity.
"It
depends on the celebrity
and why they are being
hounded
,"
Cole said.
Cole also said that a celebrity
does not buy into the media
scrutiny just because he or
she
became well known.
"It depends on how they be-
came a celebrity.
"
he
said.
"Chelsea Clinton is a celebrity,
but she didn't buy into it."
Arnold said that she will read
about celebrity gossip only
_
when they arc exclusive
stories,
whereas Lieto said he does not
read any of it at all.
"Once in awhile, but not when
it's overly talked about," Arnold
said.

noi thinkthis tragedy will seri-

ously affect the press from
~arrying out its day to day op-
erations.
Hardenbergh said she does
not favor legislation to correct
this problem.
"The public may call for leg-
islation," she said.
"I
think it's
up
:
to professional organizations
to convince the public that
th~t's not the right to go about
doing it."
She also said more should be
done to work within existing
systems.
"It seems as if there is a lot
already there to protect indi-
vidualsand we still need to pro-
tect our First Amendment," she
said.
Carol Pauli, assistant profes-
sor
.
of bro~dca
_
st journalism,
'
said ~he thinks there will be a
backlash against tabloid
.
i:iews-
paperslike
':
Th_e Gl(?be

and Jhe
National Bnquirer, who are
known for
•
relentlessly going
aftercelebrities;
.
Pauli said she saw in the news
-
that a

photographer had at~
tempted
io
,
sell photographs of
the injured princess to one of
the tabloids .
.
"The
editor said no," she said.

"That

Pauli said there probably

of a change
in
the way
journalists gather informatio~.
New legislation may be enacted
or courts may
_
be more sympa-
thetic to plaintiffs who claim that
they_ are being harassed.
Pauli, who teaches a class at
Marist about mass communica-
tions law, said it is hard to re-
strain the media from covering
public officials and figures.
"If
you're on a public street,
you have no reasonable expec-
tation of privacy," she said.
She said, however, there can
be
a point were journalist goes
too
far .
.
"To target a person and fol-
low them around relentlessly,
that begins to qualify as harass-
ment," he said.
Pauli cited an example of Jackie
Kennedy Onasis, who got a

However, Pauli said she is not
sure that such
a
policy could
totally change the state of jour-
nalism in this country.
Randy Hayman, assistant pro-
fessor of journalism, said that
although there will be a lot of
reaction to this tragedy initially,
there will be little done over the
longterm.
"I
think they'
II
be a lot of mia
culpa, chest beating, 'We were
wrong,' and that will maybe last
a few weeks, a few months, but
then it will probably go back to
things as usual."
Hayman said there are numer-
ous other examples to support
his theory. ·
"Look at coverage of the O.J.
Simpson trial, coverage of
Wa
_
co, and coverage of Richard
Jewellt he said. "Did anything
change after that? No."
Hayman said the current con-
servative Supreme Court has
protected the First Amendment
concerns on numerous occa
~
sions. He said they would proq-
ably strike down any attempt to
regulate the press.
Rather than legislation,
.
Hayman said he supports the
creation of a press council. This
idea is something that journal-
ist Mike Wallace has pushed
for. Newspapers on the council
would follow common guide-
lines. Any papers on the coun-
cil that did not follow these
guidelines would be ostracized.
Hayman said the role of the
media in the lives of these
people is parl of a disturbing
trend. He said in journalism
schools today, professors teach
ethics, but they do not reflect
what is actually going on in the
real world
.
·
"They're trying to impart in
students' minds to stick with
their value systems," he said.
"But when they go out in the
real world, they find that the
media owners and editors have
a different set of values."
Hayman, who teaches a course
called Press in America, said
journalistic sensationalism goes
back as far as
1835
with James
Gordon Bennett and his paper
The Herald. He said things
seem to have gotten worse to-
day. Hayman said this is a prob-
lem with large media corporations.
Another point is that celebri-
.
ties themselves are somewhat
creatures of the media.
Hardenbergh said the same was
true of Diana.
"People do realize
·
that Prin-
cess Diana needed the mediat
she said.
"
She was very good
at using the media."
Pa.uli also said that celebrities
cannot have it both ways by
using the media to promote
themselves and then complain-
ing if the media is constantly
hounding them.
Melissa Manzella
,
a sopho-
more fashion major, said the
media should not hound celebrities.
"They should not follow the
celebrities
·
or whomever they
'
re
following so closely," she said.
She also
said
there should be
a law that the press has to be a
certain amount of feet away.
Matthew Halicy, a senior crimi-
nal justice major, said he does
not like the fact that Princess
Diana's death has overshad-
owed Mother Teresa's passing.
"Stop putting
it
on TV and
recognize Mother Teresa," he
said. "[The media] make the roy-
als to be something they're not.
They don't recognize other
things. Mother Teresa is on

As previously mentionedin
,
durse-
mester preview issue two weeks
ago
and our
.
first regular)ssue ttiday, the
freshmen class have indeed taken the
campus by storm. They are
:
very
easy to spo~. A few have come
·
up
to be asking questions abquthow to
use e-mail or find
·
a certain location
on campus. It will not take them long
to get into the swing of things. Also,
as a friend of mine pointed out, many
of them have an identifying charac-
teristic: the combination ID card'-
key chain hanging around their neck.
I never really understood this con-
cept. This
:
seems to get phased out
as the freshmen progress through the
system. I never wore one my fresh-
men year. I do a lot of walking
around campus. To have had that
thing flopping around my neck would
have become annoying anq bother-
some. In
.
addition, I arn a very clumsy
person. I am afraid I would have
done something like get it caught in
the door of a mqving car, and . and
strangle myself. Or less morbid, I
would simply lose it.
·
·
Yet as I look at these new students,
I remember how disappointed I was,
academically, with my freshmen ye·ar.
lwas doing okay in my classes, but I
did not feel they were

the concept of having a Core cur-

.
a Core curriculum is
essential to ensure that our students
are more well-rounded. I think, h<>w-
ever, that the curriculum .should be
.
more focus~d. More courses should
be created especially for the Core
program, like Origins of Modern
Times. Perhaps there should be more
courses fulfilling Core that are tied
to a student's particular major.
:

But most importantly, I am saying
.
that the freshmen should be facing

challenge
.
right from the get.:.go. I
realize that takes
them
some time to
the college setting, but there is no
· reason why they can't plunge into the
academic waters
·
head first.
Those of you who know me well,
know that I have talked about. this
topic before (even inThe Cirde), so
·
I will stop beating it to death.
In
short,
my advice to freshmen: Get the most
you can out of your first-year cla~ses.

Students should participate in the tenure process
D~Editor:
,
Two years ago the students of Marist gathered outside of the Rotunda to
protest the tenure denial of Even Rivers, assistant professor of English. It
was obvious from the turnout that day that Prof. Rivers was valued by the
student body as a member of the faculty. There were
-
various stories that
circulated around campus to explain why ProLRivers
-
was denied. But basi-
cally everyone knew thi!t was at issue was that Prof. Rivers had never pub-
.

News Flash: It's Okay To Walk On The Grass
·
It's 9:20 on a Monday morn-
ing. You're walking to a class
over in Dyson, struggling
through crowds
'
of people, some
coming out of their 8:00 classes,
others heading to their 9:00
classes. As you hurry on your
way, dodging people along the
narrow concrete walkways, you
begin to notice something pe-
culiar, something that's been
bothering you ever since
you've been going to Marist;
people just don't walk on the
grass!
What is it about Marist stu-
dents that make us feel like our
beautiful lawns are offlimits for
walking? Maybe it's guilt. Ev-
ery other
'
day (it seems)
somebody's out mowing the
grass or fertilizing, or the sprin-
klers are ori. Why should we
step all over it when so much
money is spent on keeping the
"green" in perfect viewing con-
dition?
Is it laziness that keeps the
average student from walking
on the green? That hardly
seems to be the case. Many
times it is shorter to simply walk
across the lawn to get where you
want to be. So, what is it then?
Is
it that people just don't like
to get morning dew on their
shoes?
·
We are lucky as Marist students
to have our campus located in
such an open, natural and pic-
turesque setting (as opposed to
being caged in on all sides by a
stone wall like some other col-
lege we know around here). It
seems
·ironic
that the ilatu.ral
aspects of the campus are not
more openly enjoyed by stu-
dents.
It
is a puzzling issue, re-
ally. Are students being more
respectful of the grass by not
trampling all over it, or have we
become concrete ourselves by
forgetting the great feel of grass
under our shoes?
Everyone is entitled to walk
where they wish. Hey,
I
don't
ALWAYS
walk on the grass.
Sometimes the dew gets to me
too, but
I
always notice the
people who do.
I
think to my-
self,
that person is pretty neat
to break out of the mold of walk-
ing along the common path. So,
this message is for everyone:
IT'S
OKAY TO WALK ON THE
GRASS! Even if you try it once,

READ
To My Dear Frosh: Can You Change The World?
Just when you think you
couldn't possibly read another
article dealing with the fresh-
men, here's one more. The dif-
ference is that this is not some
worrisome article about how the
freshmen are dealing with being
away from home or if they are
eating enough food or whether
or not they get along with their
new roommates. This is essen-
tially a challenge.
For those of you who have
Jived in a cave for the past year,
the freshman class is the smart-
es
·
statistical class ever at
Marist. So
I
would like to ex-
plain, as one of the dumb se-
niors, that there is more to col-
lege than SAT scores.
College, more than anything,
is about learning. That is the
obvious answer and it is the
truth. But that is not the end all
be all of the college experience.
I am not necessarily saying that
you have to go out and join
some club that you won't enjoy
at all to try to fit in. I am also not
saying that partying is the best
answer either.
But whether you want the club
scene or the bar scene or even
the sit around the dorm scene,
do what is going to ensure that
you have a good time. Do not
hold anything back. Spend
money without thinking about
it. Money controls too much of
what we do anyway, so just for-
get about it and go nuts.
If
you
run out of money, there are al-
ways your parents to fall back
on.
I'm going to give you an ex-
ample of what
I
mean. Currently
my housemates from this sum-
mer and
I
are being sued by our
landlord for just over $4,400.
Needless to say
I
am strapped
for cash. So when a Pink Floyd
cover band called The Machine
came to The Chance last Friday
I really did not have the money
to pay twelve dollars for a ticket
plus the always exhorbant
amount it costs at The Chance
for a drink. But
I
decided to go
anyway. I took a chance and it
paid off. Friday was one of the
best nights I have had at Marist.
As
I
looked around the room,
I
saw so many of my peers hav-
ing just as good a time as
I
was.
Many of these students I do not
even know personally, but it did
not matter. We would nod at
each other, or say "what's up."
(It is my opinion that a writer
should not know too many
people anyway or be too popu-
lar because
it
will
change his/
her outlook on society. A writer
should be anonymous, which is
why
I
do not want my picture to
ever go into this paper. Popu-
larity changes quality, just look
at David Letterman.)
Aside from
my
little rant, what
I am trying to say is "What are
you going to do here?" The
paperwork says you are pretty
smart, but what are you going
to do with it?
I
have stressed
the point of having fun at col-
lege and now
I
want to know
how you are going to create an
identity. We
elders
{seniors) are
a generation lost, clinging to the
60's and the 70's or to useless
pop or alternative music with no
meaning. We were left out by
those known as Generation
X,
even though MTV and Pepsi are
still trying to convince us that
we're a part of it.
I
am not too
upset about being left out of a
generation created by the me-
dia and whose only existence
was in the movie
Reality Bites.
The question is: can YOU be
satisfied with being nameless
and faceless?
So what are you going to do,
frosh? It has been about thirty
years since the last revolution
in this country and
I
think it is
about time for another. So get
your smart little brains working
and do something with your-
selves that might someday mean
something.
Nothing personal against
those of you out there who are
broadcast majors, but broad-
casting is not going to change
the world. Neither are most of
the majors at this school.
I
know
this
sounds
ridiculous but in
four years when you get thrust
into the world with an account-
ing major because you did not
have enough time to change
your major without paying an
extra twenty thousand dollars,
you might not be so happy. Do
something that is going to re-
ward you for the rest of your
life.
Sorry about sounding sappy
but the bottom line in life is hap-
piness. So be smart, frosh, and
be different, unless you are
happy being a cog in some larger
machine you'll have nothing to
do with.

Mentors help students navigate through
problems during their college careers
JAIMEANDERSEN
Staff Writer
Mentors at Marist play a role
not only in the personal lives of
students,
but also in the aca-
demic community.
A mentor's goal is to prnvide
a connection between
students
and the college. Mentors sat-
.
isfy this goal by organizing
workshops, meeting with fresh-
men on an individual basis, and
offering themselves as a refer-
ral service for students in need
of help~
·
:
Marybeth Dohernwend, men-
tor for Sheahan Hall, said watch-
ing students grow is an inspir-
ing process.
"It is inspiring to watch people
empower themselves through
education," she said. "Leam-
ing about freedom and respon-
sibility can be intense
.
I like
knowing that I can help stu-
dents with that."
Several of the workshops pro-
vided by the mentors are cen-
tered on the goal of academic
success. Dohernwend pro-
vides programs dealing with
time management skills and test
taking.
Carolyn Fielder, Leo Hall men-
tor, holds workshops specifi-
cally for assessing learning
skills. She talks to students
about learning and studying
habits. During midterms
;
she
provides hot.meals to the
_
stu-
dents in her building
.
Although this is not a job re,-
..
quirement, Fielder said she
thinks it is important to give stu-
dents a break.
"I like to do this because it
gives them a chance to just re-
lax for a while after studying for
so long," she said.
Fielder also coordinates stu-
dent faculty luncheons, and is
the Greek Council advisor.
Sue Lozinski is the commuter
mentor. Her office is located in
the Mid-Rise Commuter
Lounge~ Lozinski shares many
of the same goals as other men-
tors, but she said, in some ways
she may have more of a chal-
lenge. Because she works pri-
marily with commuter students,
Lozinski said it is her job to "pro-
vide a link between life on cam-
pus, and life off campus." It is
difficult, she said, because many
of the club meetings and activi-
ties are held during evening
hours.
Lozinski is a\so involved in the
theater group.
Mentors usually have a ~ack-
ground in either education or
psychology. They are not con-
sidered counselors, rather they
are more of as a resource for
students. If an individual is
looking for some kind of coun-
seling the 1T1entor can refer him
.
to someone, Mentors are avail-
.
able during office hours ifstu~
dents would like to discuss
problems ihey are having adjust-
ing to the college.
Lozinski said the best part of
her job is being able to help stu-
dents.
"I love this job, I l
_
ove helping
people navigate their 'way
through a system that can
sometimes be frustrating," she
said.
Fielder said the most reward-
ing
.
part for her is helping stu-
dents have a fo_cus.
"I like knowing th
_
at students
walk away from here knowing
how to ask th_e right questions.
If
you don't ask the right ques-
tions you won't get the right
answer," she said. "I think
maybe I've given them some
direction, and
.
then they come
back and say 'This worked'. It
makes it all worth it."
Mentors also meet with stu-
dents on academic probation in
order to help them get their
grades up ..
Sophomore Keri Stevenson
said having a mentor made
freshman year more bearable.
.
"I really loved having a men-
tor as a freshman," she said. "I
always knew that there was
someone I could talk to."

Adrian
Dussault
Southbury, Connecticut
Lori O'Connell
From Albany, NY
She came to Marist because she
had a cousin who went here and
liked it. Also, she really liked the
campus. Lori has not declared a
major yet. She is leaning toward
advenising.
Lori said she thought she would
meet new people at college and that
has happened. However, she dis-
1 ikes the amount of security at
Marist.
"It's way too strict definitely," she
said.
·
In her free time, Lori, likes tennis
and doing aerobics. So far at
Marist, she has joined the aerobics
sessions offered at Marist and the
Italian-American society.
She came to Marist because she feel in love
with the campus arid the social work program.
She knew she wanted to be a social work major
since high school.
"I just wanted to do something in which I was
helping people. I ran the soup kitchen in my
high
.
school."
·
Adrian hasjoined Circle K, People Educating
Other People in a Leaming Environment, AIDS-
HIV peer educations and her resident student
council.
Lhe reason why she joined RSC. "I thought it
would be a good wy to meet different people

She decided to come to Marist be-
cause of the advanced technology
it offered.
Jade said
.
she always knew she
wanted to be a psychologist."
So far
,
she has been disappointed
by the quality of food at Marist and
her residence hall-Sheahan
Jade said he is not sure what ac-
tiyities she will be involved in but is
interested in the peer support line
and the Black Student Union.
Jade also said she does not like
the priority point system. "People
join things just to get the points .
It's not like you join this because
you want to do that."
She also said having to worry
about priority points is stressful
because you have to worry about
your grades, having a social life and
on top of that you have to worry
about activities and the number of
points you have. She does not think
housing should be determined this
way
.
In her spare time, she sleeps. 'Tm
constantly tired." She also likes talk-
ing on the phone and going back
and forth from room to room chat-
ting with housemates.
Julie Rubinstein
From Woodbury, Conn.
She decided to come to Mari st because she
liked the campus, and the communications
program. Also
,
the people who gave her the
tour seemed really nice.
"I did the radio program for my old high
school for three years. That sort of got me
interested in radio.
She said some of the regulations seem
strict. "I was just surprised you can't have a
party on campus."
Julie really enjoys playing sports, soccer
and softball. She said she will get involved
with intramural softball, MCTV and the ra-
dio station, also possibly the Communica-
tion Arts Society.

Jim. And Friends Hit the Road:. On Location at Camel'sHumpjh;Waterbury~ Vermont
by
JIMDZIEZ\'NSKI
A&E Editor
''So you'll really do it?"
"Yeah, for five bucks .. "
"Ok brother, you're on!".
·
With that, Mark slid his hand
under the seat, pulled out a pair
of grimy safety goggles and af-
fixed them to his head. He tight-
ened the strap a liule and looked
at me like a loyal solider await-
ing orders. I nodded my ap-
proval, stepped on the gas of
the van and pushed the speed-
ometer to 70 mph. Mark rolled
down the window, held his
breath and stuck his head out.
Interstate 91 through Vermont.
is one of the most scenic rides
available in the Northeast.
In
early spring it also has enough
giant bugs to paint your car a
completely different color. The
soft sporadic clicking of l;mgs
deflecting off the windshield
sounds like hail. I felt anyone
who could survive the on-
slaught of black fly pellets de-
served my five dollars. Mark
took me up on my offer and ifhe
lasted two minutes the money
was his.
.
Welcome to Jim and Friends .
Hit the Road, a new weekly col-
umn in •the· Circle which . can .
. serve as both a travel guide and
cat box liner! This summer I had
the good fortune to embark on
a series of road trips and travels
to places I've never seen before.
This column comes mostly from
my personal journals. In the next
few weeks, you too can feel the
experience of going on the long
road to nowhere with an eccen-
tric cast of characters ranging
from myself and traveling com~
panions to a hitchhiker we
picked up who made his Hveli-
hood making inflatable weiner
dogs.
A lot happens in the time be-
tween leaving your house and'
reaching the peak of a mountain.
Some of the most interesting
people I've met have been so-
journers pausing a rest stop,
AT hikers looking for a ride to
the next lodge, farmers on the
sides of dirt roads in Northern
Maine. To try to ·condense it all
into a single weekly column is
difficult because so many little
things happen along the way.
Nonetheless,
to
the-best of my
memory here isthe slimmer of
1997 thi:ough the eyes of
a
21 ·
year old boy.
After-two minutes
.
of hearing
my good friend win~e" and
shriek,
I
told him time was tip.
Mark slid his head back in and
rolled up the window. Have you
ever seen that part of Silence of
the Lambs where the bad rips
off some other guy's face? This
is kind of what he looked lik~.
only worse.
A mosaic of green,
yellow, black, red, and white
slime covered his face so that
very little skin was visible. In
between his teeth, two yellow
jacket torsos firmly wedged
themselves. Mark took a~towel
and wiped most of the goop on
his face, which only smeared
it.
He slid off the goggles and held
out his hand. He looked like
a
reverse raccoon, but a very
proud reverse raccoon. Not oniy
did he have my five dollars but
he had my respect as well.
We were on our way to Camel's
Hump in Waterbury,Vermont, a
modest peak of about 4,300 ft.
The drive from Connecticut was
about six hours and we had no
i
\
. functioning radio:F~urkrid half
hours. i_nto the trip we. began
to
get a little 'silly .. Anything to
p~ss the.time! Outside of Mark's
endurance test, the. ride was
father peaceful. The day was
May 30th, a few weeks after
school had gotten out. I figured
Camel's Hump was a nice day
hike so off we went.
' The hike itself was a pleasantly
strenuous 8 mile loop. For the
most part, I'd rather not try to
explain the actual ·feeling of the
event itself; that is something
beyond words that must be ex-
perienced for oneself. I will say
the steep ascent led to a icy,
snow filled path up to summit.
It was neat marching through
four feet of snow with shorts on
in the end of May. It was not
neat having our shins sliced up
by the crusty ice edges that bit
into our legs every time one of ·
us fell through the top layer of
snow. The views were incred-
ible and the isolation was beau-
tiful.
As we were within a hundred
vertical feet of the summit, the
entire mountain was engulfed in
ih:!!k_
cloud cover. The tree line
ended and the rare alpine area
began. As anyone who has
been to any of th~ higher New
England peaks knows, the
up-
per reachesare often covered .
with rare alpine vegetati9n
wllich must be avoid~d by any
hikers. The exposed summit of.
Camel's Hump was void of
snow. High winds pushed us
around but we :bouldered
bravely to the pil}nac)e.
This mountain has a unique
.
story to it, one I couldn't push
out of my mind as I stood on
one of the highest points in Ver-
mont.
In
World War two, an
American bomber flying over
Vermont's skies got lost in thick
cloud cover and smashed into
the side of Camel's Hump, a
mere fifty feet below where I
was. For a minute I shut my eyes
and felt the ghosts of the men
whose lives ended on a rock I
had climbed for pleasure. The
difference was I was on foot and
they were in metal. Of the crew
of twelve men one survived. I
took a rock from the crash site
(long since cleaned up) and

First things first. Yes,
The
Circle does have a new sports
editor this year. But my name is
not Steve Manczyk. It's actu-
ally Steve Wanczyk~with a W,
as
in
"WaJJa Walla, Washing-
ton." Apparently there was
some confusion in the preview
issue put om two weeks ago.
But that's no~really important
to anyone outside my .immedi-
ate family. My job this semes-
ter is to address issues that ~f-
fect more thanjustrriy personal
mailing label. So, here we go._. .
This time around, it's pretty
. easy. For the first time in the
history of the college, every
single Division I athlete at
Marist College will be compet-
ing in the Metro Atlantic _Ath-
letic Conference. If that's not
· important, I don't know what is.
On July ·1, Marist officially
became the tenth full member of
the MAAC, :ioining Canisius,
Fairfield, Iona,Loyola, Manhat-
tan, Niagara, Rider,
St: Peter's,
and Siena. The Red Foxes will
· fight for the MAAC crown in 22
of the league's 23 sports.
Golf is the lone exception.
Why the move1
•:we• d been trying for years
to move to the
MAAC,"
said
Director of Athletics Tim ·
Murray. "As Marist changed
as an institution, we wanted the
athletic program to mirror the.
· academic progress that had
been made."
.
In the years leading up to the
. big move, Marist's overall repu-
tation had begun to "outgrow"
the Northeast Conference.
It
was considered both appropri-
ate and desirable to join a more
academically and athletically
prestigious group (?f schools.
After a long courting period,
the MAAC formally invited
Marist to join its ranks_ in June
of I 995. The required two year
waiting period is now up, and

last spring, the Red Foxes said
good-bye to the NEC.
The move is certainly a step
up for the Red Foxes. For start-
. ers, it will increase Marist's vis-
ibility and credibility in the New
York metropolitan area, since
several of the MAAC's schools
are based in or near the city.
The men's basketball team, for
example, willhave at least three
games televised to a New York
City audience.
·
."The increased exposure from
the basketball teams
will
help
get the college's name out
there," said Murray. "It's simi-,
Jar to MIPO (Marist Institute of
PoHing) in that way."

years ago, the Jaspers cruised
through an impressive _regular
season but were upset i,n · the
MAAC post-season conference

As I wearily stumbled to get
up and shut the window I came·
face to face with a giant black
shadow five· inches from my

wilderness experience would
do; I screamed like. a wgman

rolled off the bed _and yelled fi;,r
Mark. With ·an the grace and
savvy of a blind sloth, he feil
over to the light switch and
turned it on. Sticking in the win-
dow was one of the largest
moose heads I've ever seen in ·
my life. Due to our screaming
he was now in a panic.
"What do we do?" I screamed
to Mark;
"Open the window, man!!" he
yelled back.
Yeah, right! The moose al-
ready had his head stuck and
was not in the mood ~o

about moose being gentle moss
eating creatures? Well, I have
to say no creature gets quite
that big eating moss ( as fellow

the panic on his face made

For the 1997 fall season,

with the MAAC favorite, Iona.
"Our goal is to be the best of

;
-'~l
don't like shooting for second

have a prayer to beat Iona this
year. So second place is a good

It's easy to see why Colaizzo
has an eye towards 1998. Pete
Startz, Steve Palmer (both
sophomores)
,
and junior Chuck
Williams will all return, as will
one of last year's stars, Mike
Melfi, who is redshirting this

.
"You never know what might

head coach Jim Parady is no dif-
ferent.
Parady watched hi steam tum
the ball over five times and miss
. a short field go~I and an extra
point in a 19-J3 loss to the
Georgetown Hoyas ( 1-0, 1-0).
· For Parady and the Red Fo)5.es·
(0-1,0- I), it was. a case of, mak-
ing mistakes against the wrong
team at the wrong:time.
"Any game you play in you
don't want to have mistakes,"
the sixth-year coach said. "But
you always seem to have more
in that first game because you
haven't been on the field in
about eight months." .
That is why the Hoyas, who
Marist hasn't beaten in four
tries, were such a tough draw
for the Red Foxes
in
the opener.
