There are no guarantees at Marist.
Housing is only guaranteed for the
first two years. Marist students have ·
heard this statement numerous times
whether it is coming from residence
staff or friends worried about priority
point standings. Priority points are
fretted over every spring and used as
a disciplinary punishment by resident
directors.
But there are some students who
don't have to worry about priority
points; students who live off campus.
Many students, such as senior
Rachel Carter, are not happy with the
l!ousing Marist has to offer upper-
classmen. Carter said that even stu-
dents with high priority points are
moving off campus.
"I had 32 priority points but decided
to· move off campus because Marist
does not provide adequate housing
for upperclassmen," said Carter. "I'm
21 years-old. I'm not going to be stuck
sharing a closet-sized room in
Gartland?"
· Sophomore Chris Laliberte safd he.
agrees with Carter. . .
. . _ .
: .
"I .wanted more space after living in
my tiny dorm room as a freshman," he
said.
· Additional space and room is not
the only benefit to living off campus.
The lack of Marist security and regu-
lations is also attractive. Senior Tom
Hannon said he likes that there are no
RAhassles, or guest polides.
,
"I even just got a dog," he said.
Senior Katie Johnson said she also
moved off campus by choice for more
freedom and a bigger place.
"There are no fire alarms, no restric-
tions and everything still gets done,"
she said. "My apartment even has its
own washer and dryer so I don't have
to pay."
But according to Laliberte, even liv-
ing off campus has not made Marist
security regulations go away.
"Security at Marist is insane. They
make it really tough to coine back.on
campus now that I'm not a resident
student," he said. "There are rules
about where I can park, and when I

can be in certain p~a~es. It's a big
hassle."
. Besides additional· space, Carter
said moving off campus is also cost
effective students claim._
"I figured out that on-campus hous-
ing costs $450 a month," she said.
"That figure includes everything but
the phone. I'm paying only $400 a
month."
Hanon said heJeels there is not much
.
'
of a price difference.
"Paying the bills rs the only real dif-
ference of living off campus," he said.
''Tuition usually deals with all yotir liv-
ing expenses at one time.'"
Johnson said she does not have a
-problem with her bills.
"Sure there are bills to pay, but you
just pay them," she said.
Laliberte said he likes to come home
to his own space. Living quarters are
so much more comfortable, though he
does mi_ss dorm life a little.
"I love having my own space, and
such a bigger place, but I do miss just
walking down the hall _
to see my
friends," he said.

End housing concerns
by JILLGIOCONDO
Staff Writer
The Student Government As-
sociation recently created a
committee to deal exclusively
with North
·
End housing in re-
sponse to students' complaints.
Shabby furniture, malfunc-
tioning appliances, unsecured
locks
·
and problems with fixtures
are just some of the complaints
from North End residents.
The committee will be com-
posed of students from all North
End resident areas. SGA is still
looking for students from Lower
Townhouses and Benoit arid
Gregory House to join.
Blanchette said many of the
problems students complained
about are safety risks in the ar-
eas.
"Our goal is to get problems
taken care of some of which are
a risk to students," he
,
said.
"We want to get the townhouse
locks changed so they lock from
the inside and get some of the
stoves replaced that have been
sparkiIIg."
The number of problems and
complaints has become too
much for Resident Directors,
Resident Assistants and Resi-
dent Student Councils to deal
with, said SGA Resident Sena-
tor, Mike Blanchette.
·
Blanchette, senior, is chair of
the housing committee which
will l;>e in charge of taking care
of these problems.
Once the committee is running
and has gained membership
they want to have meetings with
the Housing and Residential
Life Office to discuss the issues
and see what ideas the housing
office has for dealing with them.
Student
government has recently
formed
a committee to deal with North End housing problems.
Many residents feel things Ike broken sinks and smoke detectors take too long to fix.
"The
committee was formed to
deal with the problems students
had said existed, also to deal
with things that had not beeri
fixed since last year," he said.

lives in Gartland Commons and
said she feels

her apartment is
liveable but has some problems.
She said maintenance's resolu-
tion of her problem took too
long.
"The first week maintenance
came and replaced our sink. The
complaint about the sink had
been filed last winter," she said.
"We also had to have mainte-
nance fix our toilet which took
twelve hours which is way too
long in an apartment with six
girls."
Joe LaPosta and Tom
Gallagher, both seniors, live in•
the old townhouses and said
maintenances response time can
go either way.
"We had desks down in the
basement for a month before
they came and took them away.
Maintenance did respond
quickly though when we filed
complaints about our stove and
washer," LaPosta said.

Marist College or M!lfi_st Uni-
versity?
Administrators said the issue
comes up every year, but there
are no plans to switch to uni-
versity
.
status anytime soon.
TinrMassie, chief college re-
lations officer, said the rumors
are n
·
o more true this year than
in past years.
.
"The
college is doing nothing
to seek university status," he
said.
Massie said Marist would
have to undergo a number of
complex and lengthy
.
steps
.
to
become a university. It would
include becoming a research
university offering doctorates.
"Right now we want to keep
the emphasis on undergraduate
degrees," he said.
This rurrior has been circulat-
ing around campus for quite
some time and it always comes
up at the beginn}ng of each new
school year. This year was, of
course, no exception.
Heather Guldner, executive
secretary of the Student Gov-
ernment Association attended
an alumni meeting where the
idea was discussed.
"[The possibility of a switch]
was just a question brought up
in the alumni meeting," she said.
"It's
not going to happen."
The possibility of Marist as a
university in the future should
not be disregarded .. Some stu-
dents said a status change could
be beneficial.
Freshman Liz Martel said she
liked the idea because it would
bring more prestige to the col~
lege.
.
.
"If Marist were to switch to
university standing it would
probably get a lot more recog-
nition," she said.
.
.
She said, however, but hoped
it
would not change the
.
college's atmosphere'.
·
'
"IfMarist were a university it
might lose some of the intirriacy
that only a college can offer."
Others said a change in
Marist's name would not mean
that Marist itself or the Marist
·
community would also have to
change.
"I think Marist wouldn't
change that much even if it
did become a university,'.'
freshman Karen Santoro said.
"I don't think that anything
could change the great atmo-
sphere and sense of unity
and togetherness here at
Marist, even something as
drastic as a switch to becom-
ing a university," said Karen
Santoro.
Jack Kelly, former dean of the
School of Management, has
been supervising the process
for the last eight years.
"We decided about eight
years ago that to stay competi-
tive, we needed to aggressively
pursue AACSB accreditation,"
.he said. 4'lt's a big step for
Marist, it assures quality stan-
dards, as well ~as an image to
employers .
.
,
Really,
·
ic
·.
will
·
bcn-
efit us
all."
Kelly also said that there have
also been many changes behind
the scenes.
"We've had a large amount of
turnover in teaching faculty
over the last couple of years so
that today almost
I
00 percent
of professors here are doctorally
qualified," he said. "The School
of Management has a dynamite
faculty that is the envy of com-
peting schools."
.
According to Badovick,
AACSB accreditation means
students will have greater assur-
ances that they are receiving "a
current and relevant education."
He said he is sure the school
will achieve accreditation.
"Of course, it will mean extra
money and time will have to be
spent on this ongoing process,
but in the end Marist should
have no problems making it," he
said.
Receiving accreditation could
also play an important role in
student's
futures. Many em-
ployers have reputations for
showing preference to those
graduates who graduate from
schools
with
MCSB accreditation.
Matt Orme, a freshman busi-
ness major, said he thinks that
receiving AACSB accreditation
will have positive benefits for
graduates.
"Anything
that advances the
prestige of the school will help
when I graduate and look for
employment," he said.

Club sports at Marist are still
searching for their own field of
dreams.
Athletes on the men and
women's soccer, rugby and la-
crosse teams as well as the soft-
ball team dream of an additional
field. However, for now they
have to share the North ·Field

hurts the rugby team because
rugby cannot hold full field

"But, most of our practices we

said he was unsure about the
status of the fraternity's na-
tional chapter.
"We don't know what was
going on until August 1," he
said.
Viris said the problems in the
organization have been building
up for a while.
"There were some allegations
of two parties that were never
really confronted," he said.
Viris said he thinks Mari st has
problems with fraternities.
"Marist doesn't give too much
support to Greek life," he said.
He also said Marist does not
help Greeks during investigations.
"Investigations take a while
and they didn't give us too
much information," he said.
Sigma Phi Epsilon also has fi-
nancial problems. They owe
their national organization about
$10,000.
.
Maduri said the fraternity is
also having leadership prob-
lems. They do not have an offi-
cially elected president. He said,
the person who was designated
as president does not really want
to do anything.
SPE has already missed the
leadership conference and ac-
tivities fair, which are grounds
for probation:
· "It's pretty much the last
straw," Maduri said.
Alpha Phi Delta is also having
problems with off-campus inci-
dents including row.dy parties.
Marist has added women's
varsity soccer, lacrosse and
women's rugby within the past
three years. Colin Sullivan, as-
sistant athletics director, said
this resulted in 90 to l 00 new
athletes who need field space.
All the sports, he said, want
prime-time practice time between
4and8p.m.
Soccer player, Matt Sommers
said the North Field is crowded
and he is worried about exces-
sive use damaging the field.
"There's a lot o{peoplethere
at one time," Sommers said.
"We have priorit)' in the.fall. We
get kind of upset when people
abuse and tear up the field be-
cause it's our playing field."
. The college has not come up
with any other resolution to'the
problem other than the present
creative scheduling solution.
Sullivan said the rumor that the
college is looking to increase .
.
field space is just that, ammor.
"They've had two parties in
' the· month' of ·september that
. were broken ·up by the police,"
Maduri said;
. Lacrnsse player, Joe Aniano
said the college could increase
available practice times and re-
duce crowding on the field by
putting up lights.
''We're tapped out with field
space," he said.· "This requires
creative scheduling. We're deal-
ing with a lot of overlapped field
space. Coaches and clubs have
been great working with the cre-
ative scheduling."
Darren McCormack, coordina-
Sommers also said more effi-
cient could be made of the
space.
"Marist could let the rugby
team practice behind McCann

field gets torri up anyway." .

There are also rumors ofother

Al· Tejada; a· senior·. finance
major, who is also the vice presi~
dent•for member development
for Sigma Phi Epsilon, said his
dub is lacking cohesiveness.
"l really don't know what's
going on,"
he
sa_id. ''The rriein-
bers of the chapter don't want
to do it anymore.''
Tejada said the Greeks have
had so many problems because
Marist is a small school and
people are
into
fraternities for
themselves.
Tejada said it would be very
difficult for the fraternity to pay
the back dues that they owe.
The newest organization, Phi
Iota Alpha, is in danger of los-
ing their charter· because they
currently have Jess than ten
members. Six are on academic
probation.- ·;
Maduri said this.club is at risk
becauseit is a new club and its
probationary. period. is almost
over.·
''They're still on that new club
probation," he said. "They're
set to come off that Oct. 8. The
NOCCARsays th~t any time
you fall below ten members, you
automatically revoke the charter."
Maduri said he met with Chris
Jette, vice president for club af-
fairs, and agreed
io
give theclub
a one-month grace period to get
their affairs in order. He also
they had.leadership problems in
the past, but last year's presi-
dent did not do anything.
Je_tte said Phi Iota Alpha's
probiem is. less se~iou·s .. now .
They were represented at the
activiti_es fair.
.
"They are very. active," he
said
. "They have a list of members."
. Jette said many fraternities are
having problems with organization.
'.'If you look across the board,
most of the fraternities are in
trouble because of poor leader-
. ship and financial difficulty," he
said.
Even though there have been
problems with sororities· in the
past, Jette said the incidents
have been relatively minor and
not on the magnitude of the fra-
ternities.
Jette said SGA is often caught
in a tough position between
wanting to be helpful to the
clubs, but having to enforce the
rules.
"They want to help the stu-
dents, but they have to admin-
ister the guidelines," he said.
Jette also said he does not want
to have to be a disciplinarian.
"I don't like to be in the posi-
tion where I have to kick clubs
off campus," he said.
Jette, who has been active in
several clubs on campus and
SGA said he understands· that
the rules have to be in place.
"Now, I have to look at it from
the other side of the fence," he
said. "There's other clubs that
want to come in."
There are some clubs on the
waiting list. Maduri said SGA
will handle that as soon as they
deal with the problems with the
. fraternities.· .

Mad~ri: said that- perhaps
Marist is undergoing a funda-
mental shift from Greek activi-
ties to other clubs.'. He said he
has spoken with Gerard Cox,
vice president and.dean ofstu-
dent affairs, on the matter.
"He thinks,that the wave Of
the future· for Mari st is honor-
ary fraternities," Mad_uri said.
Maduri also said he has ·seen
a change in the type of students
coming to Marist. He said new.
students seem more concerned
with academics,
.;
However, Maduri said he
thinks Greek organizations are
still important on a college campus.
"Greek life is a vital part of the
college social ~xperience," he
said. ''In some, ways, it is very
·
integral in your, experience to
.. grow socially and academically."
Maduri said the key issue is
when fraternities expose stu-
dents tci drugs and underage
drinking. I:Ie said fraternities
that put students at risk will not
be tolerated.
"They are now crossing the
line to endangering our stu-
dents," he said.
Maduri said the problem of
weak leadership is not isolated
to the Greeks.
"This happens in all of our
clubs and organizations;''. he
said. ''I don't want to make it
sound like it just happens to the
Greeks."
Maduri said he is trying to get
SGA to become more of a men-
tor than a watchdog.
· "We're doing as much as we
possibly can to help these or-
ganizations," he said. "I'm very
concerned about the survival of
the clubs.''

The next morning a cigarette
butt was found still smoldering
.

where a stolen radio was kept.
He said he was angry because
security failed
.
to notice the
drunken man outside the
townhouses.
"If
there's a guy walking
arourid with a six-pack of beer,
you might want to pull up
closer," he said.
Joe Leary, director of safety
and security, said sometimes it
is hard to find those unautho-
rized persons.
"Should our guys have found
him? Sure we should have," he
said. "But if you're not there

Leary said students should
notify security when they see
suspicious people.
"If
the students are there, and
if they would just get on the
phone arid say, 'Hey I see a guy
,
He doesn't belong here,' give
us a location and we'll check it
out," he said.
·
Leary said students typically
do not like to lock their door
which is an invitation to would-
be thieves: Jette said his door

"The door was left unlocked

"All the stuff was mine and I
·
won't be reimbursed for any of
it," Drayer said.
Barrett said the thieves were
smart because they only took
her credit card and left behind
anything that required a per-
sonal identification number.
The credit card company
called her a couple days later
saying the card was used five
times at area gas stations, the
last in Wappingers Falls.
Drayer said security did not
do anything about the situation
after taking statements from
them the day after the theft.
The only lead is neighbor
Jeffery Novakouski's eye wit-
ness account that he saw three
men outside the townhouse at
about
I :30
a.m.
"I
saw three black males be-
tween
18
and 22 enter the place
;·
he said. "They were dressed
like they were going out and
acted like they were surprised
no one was up
.
I
looked again
IO
minutes later and [ one of
them] looked like he was look-
ing to see if anyone was com-
ing."
Novakouski said he did not
think they were Mari st students.
Security questioned Novakouski
the day after about what he saw,
~ut no one has gotten back to
him since.
Drayer said she was disap-
pointed in security's apparent
lack of interest in their case.
"Security didn
'
t do anything
,
"
she said.
Jette said he was also disap-
pointed in security's handling
of the situation.
"Security hasn't followed up,
"
he said. "At this point, nothing
is going to get returned."
Part of the problem, he said, is
that Poughkeepsie police have
not even gotten back to him
about the theft. But Leary said
the police are usually not in-
volved.
"lThe police] seldom actively
pursue this type of crime on
campus
,
" Leary said.
"
They
take what information might be
available. It's nice to have se-
rial numbers and stuff like that
but we don't."
Frank Maduri, student body
president, said he met with Leary
last Thursday to discuss secu-
rity issues on campus. One of
the ideas includes putting se-
curity booths at each entrance.
He said one proposal would
be that the North and South
entrances would be closed at
night, routing all traffic through
the main entrance.
But, Maduri said. he must
still meet with President Dennis
Murray to !ind out his opinion.
For now. Maduri said
,
he
wants to see new locks on all
North End doors that can be
secured from the inside. He also
has a new role for security.
"Instead of checking parking
passes. start getting more
people on the beat:· Maduri
said.

POEMS WANTED FOR NEW CONTEST AND ANTHOLOGY
Sparrowgrass Poetry Forum is offering a grand prize of $500 in its new
Awards
of Poetic
Excellence poetry contest. Thirty-five cash awards are being offered in the contest. The contest is
free to enter and open to everyone. "Although we encourage poets to purchase an anthology to
ensure publication, there is no obligation of any kind in order to be a contest winner," states
Jerome Welch, Publisher.
Poets may enter one poem only, 20 lines or less, on any subject
,
any style. Contest closes
November 30, 1997, but poets are encouraged to send their work
as soon as possible. Poems
entered in the contest also will
be
considered for publication in the Summer 1998 edition of
Poetic Voices of America, a hardcover anthology to
be
published
in
June, 1998. Prize winners
will be notified by January 31, 1998. A winners list is provided with a self-addressed, stamped
··
envelope.
"Our contest is especially
f9r
new and unpublished poets and offers a public
forum that enables
them to share their work," Welch adds. "Sparrowgrass is looking for originality in how a poet
observes and comments on life.
In
our ten years of sponsoring poetry contests, many of our
contest winners have been new poets with new ideas."
Poems should
be sent to Sparrow~ Poetry Forum, Dept. LM, 609 Main St., P.O. Box 193,
Sistersville, WV 26175.
Poets may also submit poems electronically at the Sparrowgrass web site or by e-mail:

or
Sistersv@aol.com
The Marist College chapter of the Society of Professional Journalism is
proposing a trip for communications students to Washington, D.C. in the
spring. Possible visits include trips to The National Press Club and the new
Newseum, a museum of broadcasting history in Arlington, VA.
If
you are
interested in the idea of a trip, please send e-mail to Diane Kolod at KT2C.

THE CIRCLE
ED ITQ RIAL
October 9, 1997
Editorial
Course catalog can be misleading
With course schedules about to be
mailed out to students, I felt it appropri-
ate to make a couple observations about
course scheduling. I am a senior, and
have only one more course schedule to
fill out, and one semester left to take any
classes I have wanted to take.
There is one particular class, which I
have been desiring to take since fresh-
man year, but it has yet to appear in any
course catalog since I have been here. It
has been offered during summer and
winter intercessions, but not during a
spring or fall semester, the only semes-
ters l am here.
The class is supposed to be offered
biennially, yet it has not been offered in
at least three years. And from what I can
gather, it's not going to be offered next
semester; even though I was told it was
supposed to be.
A year and a half ago, I took on an
anthropology minor, feeling that it would
greatly compliment my history major.
However, the courses needed to fulfill
this minor were not being offered, and it
did not look like they were going to be
anytime soon.
As a result, I dropped the min~r. I don't
mean to be offensive, but why have a·
minor, when the courses cannot be and
have not been offered? I know that I am
not the only person who had taken on
an anthropology minor, only to drop it
later.
I am airing out a couple of gripes I have
had concerning course scheduling, and
I will be the first to admit that there are
probably a number of good (probably
very good) reasons why the aforemen-
tioned has occurred.
However, I still feel a need to mention
it, not so much as
a
warning to other
students (though I suppose it is in some
way), but rather as a plea to professors
to try to offer each class at least once .
during the four years each student is here
at Marist, as long as the class is listed in
the course catalog.
I would accept with open arms, any re-
sponse any professors have about my
reactions to course scheduling. And I
would still really like to take History and
Culture of the Mid-Hudson Valley.

used for, is very narrow. . Students are no longer just "Surfing the Web" or
emailing their friends bac:k. home, which you seem to be implying.:· Many .

Even though it seems like the
year hasjust begun, mid-terms
are already only a week away
and people are finally starting
to get in the groove of being in
school. I personally would not
have felt at home at Marist Col-
lege until a particular event oc-
curred. This event, which has
plagued my relationship with my
mother for the past four years,
is the kind of thing that makes
you say "Oh ya, it's great to be
back at good old Marist Col-
lege." The event I'm talking
about is, of course, the receiv-
ing of one's first parking ticket
of the year.
The ticket, which is usually
given while someone is running
into Donnely Hall for a drink of
water, or while someone goes
too slow over one of the three
and a half foot speed bumps, is
not for ten dollars, as the
"crazy" city of Poughkeepsie
charges. The Marist ticket is for
a hefty twenty-five dollars and,
as backup,
will
be charged to the
driver's tuition account should
they have a tough time rational-
izing payment.
I would like to be the first to
publicly say: "Why twenty-five
dollars?" We pay over$

Looking back on freshman
year
with a sophmoric
eye
As a freshman, I was dis-
tressed because I fit in at
Marist like Delta Burke in
Fran Dresher' s drawers. "Not
very well" is an understate-
ment. As an attempt to as-
similate, I'd go out of my way
to say what
I
thought people
wanted me to say. Unfortu-
nately,
I
was often further off
course than the "S.S. Min-
now."
My social blunders never
brought me to an uncharted
desert isle, but to my room.
So,
I
did what any other
lonely self-conscious fresh-
man would do. I'd write
spiffy messages about how
cool I am on the white board
on my door. You, know, like,
"Hey, Tara! You're the best!
Call me tonight." Then I'd
sign an illegible name.
Though slightly pathetic, I
still highly recommend it.
Passer-bys read that stuff and
mistake even the uncoolest
person for being halfway
cool.
Then, I'd sit in my room and
call my friends and family and
whine about how I don't fit
in at school. I found their
opinions to be only slightly
comforting. I usually got
something along the lines of
"Tara, you are eccentric, but
we accepted that years ago.
What could have possibly
made you think you would
fit
in any better.in f:OJlege?"..
Then
they'd sort of laugh,,
and I'd laugh too- but only
because I realized that I was
lucky to be IN college, and
didn't want to let on that my
calling may be in the fast food
services. (I am not ten-ibly ad-
verse to working in a fast food
restaurant- I have. A woman
once asked for a "burger with
no fries:' I thought she said
a "burger with no flies." as
1
was hung up on a pest prob-
lem at the establishment. I'd
like to avoid such confusions
in the future. This does not
mean that I plan to work for
"Terrninix.")
Throughout high school,
I
pictured college as a place
where everyone was just like
me. I now realize that would
be a living hell. I have diffi-
culty enough living with just
one me. Besides, if EVERY-
ONE stole as much silverware
from the cafeteria as me, we'd
all have to eat with our fin-
gers. (Well, no, I have not sto-
len so much as one spoon
from the cafeteria.
It
was
merely an example of a bad
habit that some individuals
have, but if spread to the en-
tire campus, could result in
utter chaos.)
I am not in the least upset
that my stupid quirks, faults.
and general social ineptitude
led me to divide much of my
freshman year between the
Donnelly Computer Lab and
my room, where I sang along
with Art and Paul to the tune
of

Opinion columnists should be held up to different standards
At
Marist, a controversy
surrounding anything that ap-
pears
in
the college newspa-
per probably_ sounds as likely
as being able to purchase
condoms in the bookstore. Af-
ter all, both things are unlikely
to ever happen.
Actually, there was an inci-
dent in 1993 where The Circle
was· forced to cease publica-
tion. There was no student
outcry or discussion of con-
stitutional matters. But, and I
doubt that anyone needs to
have this pointed out to them,
Marist College is not Stanford
University.
Which is a fact that should
come as a relief to people like
me who write a column for The
Circle. Imagine if the Marist
Society for the Advancement
of Apathy was enraged over
a column calling for us to
speak up for ourselves. Or, if
the grounds crew protested a
column calling for us to walk
on the grass.
This is my third year writing
this column, and I have never
had to stand up for what I have
written, or to e.ven verify
whether or not it was even re~
motely based in fact_
I have learned that Mari st stu-
dents do noLget easily en-
raged. Basically, we, as a com-
munity, understand that they
are just words, and, while
words can certainly hurt, it is
certainly not as traumatic as
having a bar bum down.
Of course, the daughter of the
President of these United
States does not go to school
here. That is another reason
that it may be difficult to follow
the recent events at Stanford
University.
For those of you that are not
in the know, a student was fired
from the staff of The Stanford
Daily because he used Chelsea
Clinton's name in a column. The
young man's name is Jesse
Oxfeld, and he was dismissed
because he posed the question
asking if Chelsea's presence at
Stanford would interfere with
everyone else on campus.
As he put it, "First, why, pre-
cisely is it that we're ail ex-
pected to bend over back-
ward to give Chelsea arid her
family a 'normal' Stanford ex-
perience while the first family
itself is under no similar obli-
gation?"
This is hardly the sort of
thing that would inspire book
burning and rioting. It is a per-
fectly logical question to
pose. Oxfeld went on: "And
that raises the frightening
possibility that the efforts
necessary
to
protect
Chelsea's 'normal experience'
will
ensure that no one else
has one."
What he wrote is hardly
scandalous; in fact, it is so
obvious that it almost goes
without saying. The only
problem was that, over the
summer, the paper set the
policy that it would only dis-
cuss Chelsea Clinton if she
did something particularly
newsworthy.
After all, Stanford students
will have unusual access to
what Ms. Clinton does over
the course of the next four
years, and there is certainly
tremendous potential for this
power to be abused. So, the
editorial staff of the paper
should be commended for pre-
venting the paper from turn-
ing into a scandal sheet with
weekly columns of "What
Chelsea had for breakfast",
"This.week's drug experimen-
tation", or "Which fraternity
house she disappeared into at
three in the morning".
However, Mr. Oxfeld was en-
gaging in the most noble of as-
pirations, writing an opinion
column. So, despite his
newspaper's policy towards
not discussing Chelsea, he
commented on the Presidential
motorcade, the swarm of Se-
cret Service agents, and won-
dered if this sort of occasion
will not be a bit intrusive in the
day to day lifestyle of
Stanford.
Nevertheless, he was fired
when he refused to rewrite his
column. Now, as a former edi-
tor of this section, I know that
one of the editor's jobs is to
make sure that nothing libel-
ous or slanderous finds it's
way into the pages. But, to be
fired for not following the stan-
dards set for reporting is be-
yond ludicrous.
As I stated, Opinion writing
is not reporting. There is a de-
gree of fact-finding that must
occur to write any opinion piece.
But, an Opinion Columnist's job
is slimmed up the first word of
the title: to give his or her opin-
ion.
No matter if you think that the
food in the cafeteria leaves
something to be desired, or that
Newt Gingrich is just full of hot
gas, you are giving your opin-
ion.
In any case, a major disrup-
tion like the one created by the
Clinton family's arrival in Cali-
fornia is certainly a newsworthy
event, and even more certainly
something that is worth asking
people how they feel about it.
Obviously, I chose to write
about this topic because
it hits
a little close to home. I have a
vested interest in this for two
reasons. The first, more obvious
reason is that I write an opinion
column. I would be rather an-
noyed if this privilege were to
be taken away from me. The
other is that, if pressed, I would
fight until my dying breath for
my right to write how I feel about
Chelsea Clinton.

Though;I sup~
ever said
·
our administration
was stupid. They
.
know that
99 percent of students will
never write a letter about a
ticket they can pass on to their
parents, so Marist College
makes off with our money again
and takes the students' right
to speak out against something
they consider wrong away from
them.
·
I'm not trying to start a revo-
lution here and have everyone
go nuts and beat up
all
these-
curity
·
guards. (Although it
would be funny to see if they
could actually defend them-
selves without canes.) I'm just
trying to make some valid
points. Who's paying to have
a security guard in all parking
lots at times? Is it really neces-
sary to have a guard in the
McCann lot at
3:00
in the after-
noon to make sure nobody
il-
legally parks? How much to
these men get paid to walk
around and do nothing but
cause us problems (and cost
us money) all day?
I don't mean to insult these
men personally
.
If
I could get
their job I'd take it in a second.
And I am in favor of security
being around to protect stu-
.
dents, especially at night. But
I don't think it's as imperative
as other people seem to think.
·
I have read numerous articles
in this paper about how stu-
dents don't feel safe and there
should be more security
around on campus. Come on,
does anyone really believe
some
crackhead
from
.
Poughkeepsie has been break-
ing into the Townhouses re-
cently? How did he get here,
the public bus system?
The point is that no one ever
asks
these questions. We all
sit back and pay our twenty-
five dollar fine without think-
ing twice about it, even though
we complain to all our friends
about how unfair it really is
.
Marist security is
a
tool for the
recruitment of high school stu-
dents and their parents. After
20 minutes of bragging to the
parents about the number of
officers on campus at all times
and the incredibly fast and
economical patrol vehicles
(which, by the way have just
recently been upgraded to, I
believe, Nissan Pathfinders)
the parents can't help but feel
better about sendin their kids

to Marist. Meanwhile, for all
.
.
the parents and
.
students who
don't
·
decide
·
to come
•
fo
Marist,
_
we still pay more and
more every
·
year to support
this "necessity
:
"
Needless to say I don't think
this article will change much
around here. There's entirely_
too much at
·
stake
·
for some-
one as lowly as myself to
make a dent. But I will give
you a piece of advice. Next
time you pull into Donnely to
grab a quick sandwich to~go
or pull into Lowell Thomas to
·
run in
.

careful.

Check all tlie bu

nt when you leave their

your

beware, young stu-

Three German ~tudents attempt to learn about American culture at Marist
EMILYKUCHARCYZK
Ass!. Fea111re Editor
The first impressions ofMarist
for three German exchange stu-
dents were very dark.
Three German exchange stu-
dents, Roland Wolff, Meike
Gruendling,
and
Marc
Bochmann, arrived at Marist on
August
24
at about
11 :30
at
night. These students attend
the Hochschule Bremen Insti-
tute in Bremen, Germany and will
be staying at Marist until the end
of the
fall 1997
semester.
Wolff said because they ar-
rived at such a late hour they
.
did not get to see much of the
campus.
"When we arrived it was the
middle of the night, something
like
11 :30,
and the town looked
kind of impressing and we were
on the road for 25 hours and we
were a little tired so that was our
first impression," he said.
"It
.
looked nice, people were very
helpful here
even
though
-
we
arrived at the middle of the
night."
The students came here
through an exchange program
arranged by Ted Prenting, pro-
fessor of business and Greg
Tully, associate professor of
accounting, in the School of
Managemept and Brian Whalen
in the Office of International
Education. The three students
are living in an apartment in
Poughkeepsie. All three have
full-time internships which were
arranged by Desmond Murray,
assi stantdirector
.
of.field· expe-
rience for the Center
.
for Career
Services.
_
Wolff; who is interning at IBM
in the financial department, said
interning in the United States
might give foreigners an edge
in their native countries.
Roland Wolff, Marc Bochmann and Meike Groendling are hanging out with a group of Marist
students. Wolff, Boehman and Groendling are business students from Hochschule Bremen in
Bremenm, Germany and are spending a year
in
the United States.
"I
think America is still lead-
ing in many business aspects.
You can
see
every trend that
starts up here and comes to Eu-
rope sooner or later," he said.
"And
working in an American
company and
seeing
what their
management style is and the
way they handle their business
,
you can only learn from that so
you're a little
step
ahead."
Bachmann, who interns at JC
Penney, said the American tech-
nology is difficult to get used
to.
"It's very difficult with the dif-
ference in the technical equip-
'
ment," he said.
·
"America
is a
.
big country
and
they have a lot
of American equipment we don't
have in Germany."
Bachmann
said
he works in
just about every department and
finds the amount of pay an in-
teresting
aspect
of working
.
"It's
interesting because
work at JC Penney and they of-
fer low paying jobs and we in
Germany have the same type of
jobs that are better paying," he
said.
Gruendling
said
her internship
at MiCrus, a computer company.
has been informative
so
far.
"They gave me a whole over-
view of how the business is run-
ning and now I'm working in the
·
financial office," she said.
While they are here the stu-
dents are also.taking ~ne MBA
course
.
Bochinann, who
.
is
tak-
ing an internationai industrial
marketing class, said German
classes are more formal than
American classes.
"What is interesting here in
America is that you have these
case studies that you learn and
in Germany you get more of the
theoretical frame," he said.
"What
you do is up to you.''
The German students said the
content of the classes are simi-
lar in both countries.
·
They said
the main difference between the
two schools is the campus. Be-
cause colleges in Germany arc
public and free. there is less
money for the school and there
is not much of
a campus. The
students
said the campus con-
sists of classroom buildings and
the majority of students do not
live on campus.
Living on campus
at.
Maris!
was
somettiing
Wolff and the
others wanted to do to get to
know more students. However
,
they were unable to because of
the lack of on-campus housing.
"When they tell me they're
trying to get Marist more inter-
national, why do they have us
live off campus so we cannot
really meet most of the stu-
dents'?," he
said.
Another difference between
German students and American
students is their age. Wolff.
Gruendling and Bachmann arc
29. 23 and 27. respectively.
Bachmann said German
stu-
dents are generally older than
.American students because
Germans have to do a year of
military service and their high
school
is a year longer
.
Also,
German students have to work
before going there.
The German students said
they think the Marist students
are friendly. However, Wolff
said
he is not used to the casual
relationships between students.
"They seem to be friendly and
helpful and they are always say-
ing 'what's up,'
'take
care· and
how arc you? .... he said.
Wolff said conservations be-
tween American students seem
more superficial.
"In the U.S .. it's just more nor-
mal to
say
hello
.
but sometimes
you want more dialogue and
contact and it doesn · t go very
deep. it's more
small
talk." he
said.
Bachmann said he likes the
casual friendliness.
"I
like that because when
you're in a foreign country and
you sec foreign people or
people you don't know. they
won't talk to you, but here
they're like "hello, how arc
you,"' he said.
"l
like it better

Food dude has memories of thick juicey burgers at Racoon Saloon, but times have changed
TOMNARDI
Food Dude
How far would you travel for
a good meal'? Would you ever
travel an hour for a burger'?
It
would have to be
a
really impres-
sive burger to travel that far.
Well when I was younger I
used to travel up from Rockland
County to go to the Raccoon
Saloon just to get a hamburger.
(Okay, my family also used to
visit friends who lived near-by,
but still we traveled an hour for
these burgers.)
When I first came to Marist I
.
was excited because the Rac-
coo~
'.
Saloon, (located on Route
9
in
-'
Marlboro, N.Y. approxi-
mat~ly seven and half miles
south of the Mid-Hudson
Bridge.) was only about 15 min-
uteS:away from campus.
The food at the Raccoon Sa-
loon is not limited to hamburg-
ers. The chef. (at
.
least the one
who worked there a couple of
years ago) is a graduate of the
Culinary Institute of America, lo-
cated right up the road from
Marist.
So along with great burgers,
they have ribs, steaks, and fish.
Most of the entrees are at least
fifteen dollars, which does equal
much of a value for impecunious
college students.
The burgers I remember
as
a
kid were huge, mouth-watering,
delicious burgers. On my last
visit to the Saloon, almost two
years ago, I was extremely dis-
appointed. I assumed that my
bad experience was a fluke and
thatthis time the food would be
better. Unfortunately I was
wrong.
I knew I was in trouble when I
asked my waiter to recommend
a beer. The Saloon is as well
known just as well for its beer
selection, as it is for their ham-
burgers. They have over 90 dif-
ferent beers, and the best my
waiter could recommend was
Honey Brown.
I cannot comprehend why
Honey Brown is as popular as it
is.
If
anyone can tell me why
people drink it I would love to
· hear from you. I ended up or-
dering a Dock Street, ($3.25)
which was a light, refreshing
pilsner, with a pleasing after-
taste.
For starters, I order the melted
Brie cheese, over fried leeks.
($6.50) Leeks are members of
the onion family. But unlike tra-
ditional onions they have a mild
less intrusive flavor. The leeks,
which were placed on top of
bread
soaked
in a raspberry
vinaigrette dressing, were fried
and topped with melted Brie
cheese,
and
tomatoes.
This dish was tasty
,
but ex-
tremely greasy. The leeks,
which were sweet and chewy,
were drenched in oil. Brie
cheese is
soft
and oily
to
begin
with, combined with fried leeks
and a raspberry dressing, made
primarily from oil and balsamic
vinegar, proved to be over-
whelmingly greasy.
My hamburger with.sauteed
mushrooms was served unac-
companied. It was a bit pricey
at $8.50. My waiter failed to in-
form me that lettuce and tomato
were extra.
Looking over at a table next to
me I was glad that I did not or-
der the french-fries, which
looked like a poor replica of the
fries served in the Marist caf-
eteria.
The burger, which was ten
ounces, was cooked to my
specification of medium-well. I
would have enjoyed the burger
more had I ordered it medium,
but with all the recent publicity
about E-Coli I wanted to make
sure that it was well cooked.
The burger was decent, just
not
as
good as I remember
as
a
kid
and
definitely not worth
there price. Ten ounces of meat
was more than satisfactory.
The Saloon also had petite
burgers, which consisted of five
ounces of ground beef. These
were only one dollar less than
the regular burger. So from a
value
standpoint
they are not
worth ordering.
The desserts had always been
delicious at the Raccoon Sa-
loon, and fortunately, this visit
was no exception. The dessert
menu included a Black Forest
cake, Tiramisu
,
and
Basil fla-
vored ice cream, yes, basil fla-
vored!
I ordered a tart ($3.95) made
with raspberries, strawberries
and blackberries. This piping
hot fruit blend was
stuffed
into
a buttery, moist crust. This des-
sert was, hands down, the best
part of the meal.
Service \vas acceptable. My
waiter did his job, but did not
go out of his way to make my
meal memorable.
A good server is someone
who makes suggestions and
helps to guide his or her cus-
tomers through the menu. Nor
did he ask if I wanted the tradi-
tional lelluce and tomato with
my burger.
If you do go, I would suggest
going for just beer or for their
desserts. The
rest
of the menu
is
extremely over-priced.
I
would also recommend that
you
go
during the next couple
of
weeks while the fall foliage is
at
its peak. The Raccoon Saloon
has a couple of tables that over-
look the Hudson River. The
view is extraordinary, and unfor-
tunately the food is not.
The Circle is
always look-
ing for dedi-
cated writers.

Staff Writer
Plopping onto her bed,
Anna Hall exerts a unique
calmness. Her soft-spoken
words contradict her out-
going personality.
"I love to talk,'.' she said.
"And meet all different
types of people."
Sensibly choosing pub-
lic relations as her major,
Hall plans to graduate in
May. She hopes to work in
retail or promote television
shows in her future. _
Originally from Bay, St.
Louis, Mississippi, Hall has
made Marist College her
home away from home.
"I liked Marist because of
its internships and it was
fairly small," Hall said.
"I
also wanted to be close to
New York City."
This southern belle has
always had a craving for the
Big Apple.
"New York City has a per-
sonality," she said. "It's
rude and fast but you can
still become aquainted with
it."
Hall spent her junior year
in Egham, a town just out-
side of London.
"Studying abroad ben-
efited me in every aspect
of my life," sbe said. "I
became more confident be-
causeJ was on my own."
Living overseas also made
H
.
all more relaxed. She said she
was once very timid.
Keith Mitchen; a senior politi-
cal science major, admires Hall's
ability of adjusting to new situa-
tions.
"Anna has this amazing qual-
ity of adapting to new environ-
ments," Mitchell said. "She's
really willing to meet new
people."
Hall has advice for anyone go-
ing abroad.
"Be prepared to spend a lot of
money," she said.
Hall studied business c6urses
while in London.
"PR courses weren't really of-
fered," she said. "So I figured
the business courses would
teach me the international as-
pects of PR."
Hall has also experienced
other parts of Europe.
"I've been to Paris and Italy,"
she said.
"i
had the chance to
visit relatives while I was in
France."
One thing you will not see Hall
doing is listening to country
music.
"I
absolutely love Otis
Redding," she said. "I've al-
ways enjoyed the old soul and
funk."
You can also catch Hall listen-
ing to P.J. Harvey.
Hall has played the piano for
six years.
"I learned to appreciate the
music," she said.
"I
used to play
the violin and saxophone too."
Hall's mother has made the
biggest impact on her life ..
"My mom is the most wonder-
ful woman in the world," she
said. "She's my best friend and
would never think of saying
anything bad about her." · ·
Because she lives so far from·
home, Hall goes home once dur-
ing the entire.school year.
"I
see my family during Christ-
mas time and the summer," she
said. "Even though
I
talk to them
every three days; I still
miss
them."
Well, if youstHl do not recog-
nize Anna Hall; you may have
seen her on MCTV (Marist Col-
lege Television). ·
"I was a news anchor during
my freshman and sophomore
years," she· said. "It was neat
and embarrassing at the same
time."
Tom Drag,
a
senior biology
major at Marist said Hall is fun
to be around.
"She has an outgoing person-
ality," Drag said. "And she's
very intelligent."
Mitchell added Hall is a loyal
· friend.
"She's
a
great fz:iend,'' he said.
"And once you penetrate her
shell, she's such an outgoing
person."
Anyone who knows Hall will
agree, she is
a
great person to .
be around.

• On Octobed0, 1997, Marist
College will be hosting another
one of their career expos• in the
McCann Center (you know ... the
big building where the basket-
ball team plays).
, This is
.
where a number of em-
ployers,mainly from the North-
east area; come to give informa-
tion and try to'find future appli-
cants. It is also a chance for stu-
dents to learn more about the
field they are interested in.
I
know for a fact that some of
you rriay be reading this and
saying, "Who cares?'.' or even
"I know everything there· is to
know about my field of study,
why d·o I need to go to this
expo?" I know this becau_se I
have said this for the past three
,
'
-
years.
However, I have realized that
expos like these go a lot further
than getting a bunch of pam-
phlets and filling out applica-
tions.
. It also involves networking.
Meeting people in your field and·
So when th,e time com~sforyour
interview, they• rifready·have a
·name to go with that face:
For juniors and seniors, the
event is very important We're
coming up on the real world
f9lks and
as
much as you don't
want to admit it, we need help
finding jobs.
_Who better ~o h~lp us than the
employers themselves? L_et
them look at your resume and
ask them what they think?
These are going to be the
people hiring you. My guess.is
that they will have a pretty good
idea what would be good for
you.
But wait!! Freshmen and
sophomores may be thinking,
''I'll
go to the next one." Or ".I
clon't need to go to this.
I
have
tons of time." Honestly, you -
don't. I've waited too long to
go to one of these and I am re-
gretting it now.Believe
me,
get
a jump on the competition when
you can.
It doesn't hurt tojustgo down
and talk to people. Just go and
ask questions, or even go to just
look around, but go.

Mechanical services tries to respond

Feature Editor
Jeanine Pacheco wants stu-
dents to be patient.
Pacheco is a dispatcher for
Mechanicai Services. She takes
about 90 complaints a day, rang- _
ing from overflowing toi
_
lets to
broken doors,.·from students
and administrators and assigns
them to mechanics to fix.
She said students should have
patience . with, mechanical.- ser-
vices, because the mechanics
have to deal with the whole cam~
pus.
"Some students and adminis-
trators are like 'Oh my God, they
took so long to get here,' but
they have to remember that we
. deal with everything, every light
bulb and every toilet, and it
takes time to get everywhere,"
she said.
As soon as a student or ad-
ministrator calls Pacheco she
_said logs the complaint into the
computer.·_ She. then _issues a
ticket to a mechanic who must
report to her when he starts and
finishes the jo_b, .
Pacheco said, certain jobs,
might have priority over other
jobs.
''Some things are more serious
than others," she said.
"If
some-
one has an overflowing· toilet
and there isn't a mechanic avail-
able then we'll pull one off of
another job that isn't as imme-
diate and have him take care of
it."

who

"There's definitely_ been an

On Oct. 10, 1997, BiGALA will be providing an infor-
mational table relating to bisexual, gay, and lesbian is-
sues. The table will be presented in honor of National
Coming Out Day. (Oct. 11) A day of celebration, and
recognition among bisexuals, gays and lesbians nation-
wide. Also, a fifty-fifty raffle _will be held at the table
which will be located in the Champagnat breezeway.
said the response time for that
was quick.
''A mechanic came over very
quickly within 12 to 13 hours
from the time that
I
called,'' she
said.
Pacheco said if a student or
administrator does not hear from
a mechanic then he should call
again. She said a dispatcher is
there from
7
a.m. to 11 p.m. and
a student can also leave a mes-
sage on the answering machine.
Pacheco said 98 percent of com-
plaints for September were re-
solved.
Pacheco said when
a
student
calls with a complaint he should
be as specific as possible. For
example·, she said if there is a
light out then tell them what
bedroom it is in and on what
side of the room it is on. She
said it is important that the stu-
dent is there when the mechanic
comes so he go in and can fix
the problem
Mechanical Services is staffed
by
20
mechanics,
15
during the
·day and five during the night.
On weekends there is one me-
chanic available.
Pacheco said the reason for
having one mechanic on week-
ends is because there is not
many complaints.
"A lot of people go away on
weekends so it's not worth it to
have the mechanics sit around,''
she said. "It's not like there's
an excessive amount of calls."
Sometimes Pacheco said she
has to deal with rude students
and administrators, according
to her it is all part of the job.
"Sometimes a student will say
'My parents pay
$20,000
to go
to this school and you can't
come over and fix this now,"'

she said, "and
I
feel better that
they take it out on me so that
the next person they see, they
don't take it out on."
She said she understands stu-
dents' and administrators' frus-
tration.
"I know it's hard and if
I
could go and fix it, I would, but
I'm only the dispatcher,'' she
said.
Pacheco said the mechanics
want to do a good job.
"If they get out there with the
tickets and get
it
done, then they
don't have to hear from it in a
while," she said. "The mechan-
ics have a good feeling about it

Dziezynski tackles Mount
Mansfield in the latestpage
fromthe travel scrapbook
by JIMDZIEZYNSKI
.A&E Editor
During my "farewell to sum-
mer" expedition, I spent the last
week of August 1997 climbing
the highest peaks in each of the
New England states. Accompa-
nied by my good friends and
fellow climbers Jody Pratt and
Ryan Sheeler, we set off to stand
on the highest ground in Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, New Hampshire, Ver-
mont, and Maine.
The pace of life on the road
was exciting. An average day
consisted of waking up at the
break of dawn, gearing up,
climbing a mountain of some
sorts, regrouping, and driving
for anywhere between four and
ten hours to get to the next des-
tination. Mount Mansfield in
Stow, Vermont was the fourth
stop on our journey.
Stow is a haven for winter
sports enthusiasts. Vermont's
highest peaks dominate the sky-
line while dozens of expensive
lodges and inns are cramped
together in Stow village. In the
off season, the Green Moun-
tains are a beacon for hikers,
mountain bikers, rock dimbers,
and campers.
Besides having trails and
campgrounds, Stow is the home

season with a hilarious bang as
Main Stage Productions pre-
sents "Moon Over Buffalo" by
Ken Ludwig.
This comedy hosts an experi-
enced director, a wonderful cast
and a skilled crew. Each person
shines in his or her own way in
the 2-act play being presented
this weekend. The director, Jim
. Joseph, a returning ·Marist
graduate, has wonderful visioh
for the stage. His theatre expe-
riences here at Marist lured him
back to direct.
.
This is his fourth show here
since his graduation in 199 L He
now commutes between here
and his real job in New York
City. He is the house manager
at the brand new Victory The-
atre. This special theatre dedi-
cates all of its performances to
children.
Joseph said that he came back
to direct because of his love for
the perfonning arts and because
he enjoys the casts.
"I've always enjoyed giving
back to the students," he said.
Moon Over Buffalo brings to-
gether a talented cast with much
experience.
Joseph said he is extremely
impressed with the level of tal-
ent and dedication that this ca~t
has shown throughout the pro-
duction process.
"It has been a real eye opener,"
round. When we arrived on
August 22, the village looked
like a ghost town. Though the
resorts looked very well kept
there were hardly any cars on
the road and we didn't see many
people. The only place we saw
activity was at the trail heads and
parking areas on the side of the
street.
Our ascent of Mount
Mansfield began from a small
parking area off of Route I 00.
The gradual grade of the terrain
made the hike tiring from the get
go. Double that with tempera-
tures in the high eighties and
we knew we had a bear of a hike
in front of us.
It took a while to get into a
comfortable pace but once we
did the trek to the base of the
Mountain was easy. It is some-
times hard to get the feeling that
you are in the remote wilderness
because the hiking paths con-
tinually intersect with ski trails
· and ski lifts.
The higher in altitude you get,
the less distant you feel. Ski
trails run down the adjacent
mountains like scars. Looking
up to the peak of Mansfield, one
sees a giant complex of radio
towers and communications
equipment.
Though the majesty the Green ·
Mountains in undeniable, one
can't help but notice the ugli- ·
ness man has imposed upon
he said.
The Jen Dressel Scholarship
fund was established to honor
a wonderful person who
touched the Hves of many in the
MCCTA organization.
Jim Joseph remembersforidly
how Dressel's friendship and
· hard work helped him better re-
alize himself.
·
"She's a very important factor
in my theatre life. She showed
me that I could," he said.
Each year the scholarship is

hard as Jen did behind the
scen~s. · ...

_
,Producer Shannon M.
McNamara. says/that choice to
do.'.'fyfoon Over Buffalo" came
through. the extensive reading·
·
of several plays. The decision
was ultimately made because
it ·
is a relatively new play and it
was "more contemporary."
McNamara also said that al-
though the cast has had some
problems, everything has gone
fairly smoothly.
"The cast has really pulled
together to get everything
done," he said. ·
The show stars Rob Amodeo
as a 50-year-old stage actor who
is trying to make it in the mov-
ies. Though this is Amodeo's
first appearance in a fall produc-
tion, he is no stranger to the
stage. He has done children's.
theatre and appeared in several
musicals.
He said he was a bit over-
whelmed with the part at first,
but worked hard to make it his
them.
About halfway up the ascent,
we cameacross Taylor Lodge, a
resting area opened year round
to hikers. The· Lodge· offers
bunks and a place to rest your
weary bones, but lacks running
water or facilities. We stopped
to take a few pictures and con-
tinued onward to the summit.
Like many of the higher peaks
in New England, the upper
reaches of Mansfield are classi-
fied as the Alpine Zone, an area
brutally exposed to the ele-
ments and home of rare arctic
vegetation: As we scrambled up
the last few· boulders we came
upon the s·ummit about 4,300
feet above se·a 1e·vel. We were
greeted
hy
a _crowd ofchildreri,
womenilfo' higff heels, over-
weight men, and assorted oth-
ers when we got there.
It is a
strange feeling seeing people
who simply drove up when you
know how hard you worked to
get there. Maybe it's just
climber's. snobbishness, who
knows?
Either way, the views from the
top, in my opinion, are the best

"The Peacemaker,"

EREZ, Gaza Strip (CNN)- Is-
raeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and Palestinian Au-
thority President Yasser Arafat
met face-to-face Wednesday for
the first time in eight months.
The 2 1/2 hour meeting, ar-
ranged late Tuesday by U.S.
envoy Dennis Ross, came at a
time when the peace process
faces total breakdown, with Is-
raelis and Palestinians trading
barbs and accusing the other for
·
disrupting Mideast peace.
After the meeting, which was
held under an unusual cloak of
secrecy, Ross said the two lead-
ers
agreed
to
hold regular meetings to ad-
vance their peacemaking ef-
forts.
'They
agreed that in addition
to the negotiations that have
resumed on the interim commit-
tees that they
should see
this kind of resumption of con-
tacts on all levels between the
two sides, including between
the leaders," Ross said.
"And
indeed they agreed that
the leaders themselves should
meet on a regular basis," Ross
told reporters at the border be-
tween Israel and Gaza where the
early morning summit took
place.
Ross said the two sides still
had many differences to over-
come but he described the
sum-
mit as "a very good meeting."

emphasized that they saw this

Ross did not say if the sides
made progress in disputes that
have hit peacemaking since
March, including Israeli settle-

Which game is the game of
inches?
I
forget.
I
guess it depends on the situ-
ation-
I
could be talking about
baseball, football ... even tennis
or golf. Heck, I suppose cricket
could come down to a matter of
inches.
You know, some guy might
swat the ball with his big ol'
paddle and watch
it
roll excruci-
atingly close to that little stick
thing that they try to hit. And
then the British commentator
would say, with his funny ac-
cent, "Well, that's why they call
it a game of inches."
·
·
Through four games, the
Marist College football team can
blame its 2-2 start on a couple
of inches, and a few seconds.
Entering the I 997
season,
there were three squads that
could legitimately shoot for the
MAAC crown. Duquesne,
Georgetown, and Marist.
Duquesne and Georgetown
still have a chance.
When the Red Foxes looked
at this year's schedule
,
they
must have known that their title
hopes hinged on the first four
games of the year. They must
have known that their collective
future would be decided by the
first week of October.
But they couldn't have known
how those first four weeks
would play out.
The season began with a piv-
otal MAAC contest here at
Leonidoff
Field
versus
Georgetown. The Foxes and the
Hoyas fought for the full sixty
.
minutes, and, as it turned out,
Marist would have benefited
from a sixty-first minute, as a
.
potential gaml! winning drive
stalled inside the Georgetown
25-yard line.
If
backup quarterback Bill
Tramaglini and the offensive line
had managed to get one final
snap off before time ran out,
Dave Parady's team could have
taken one last shot at the end
zone.
And, since we're in the busi-
ness of "could haves," more
appropriate play calling might
have influenced the outcome of
the Hoya game. Mari st seemed
confused during the last minute

team, have been the
dominant team in the MAAC for
the last two years. This game
gave the Red Foxes a great op-
portunity to join Duquesne
as
an elite team.
It looked like Marist would take
advantage
of that opportunity
when, early in the second half,
the team held a 17-0 advantage.
And then the unthinkable hap-
pened.

with a brilliantly executed drive
to regain the lead,

and the

- It would have been the foot-

vantage of sortie missed tackles
and an overall weak defensive
effort by the Red Foxes in the
second half and score 19 unan-

"Our defense was horrible in
the second half," said captain
Brian Coakley. "Our guys
weren't binding or covering and
that allowed them to get back in
the game."
In the second half, Rutgers
Mike Shanski scored on a long
run and then connected on the
two-point kick, cutting the
Marist lead to just 2, 14-12 with
seven minutes ieft in the game.

The Duqu~sne Dukes ar~ not
the two-time defending MAAC
champions. because they give
up easily. Nobody now knows
that better than Marist head
coach Jim Parady
_
and the rest
of his Red F6xes.
The Red Foxes (2-2, 2-2,) lost
two seconcl half leads, inc_lud-
ing· a 17-0 third quarter advan-
tage, to lose 27-24 in about as
painful a loss
a
team can suffer.
With seven seconds remaining,
Duquense wide receiver Joe
Rosato plucked Dave Loya's
pass out of the air with one hand
in the back of the end zone, al-
most surely ending Marist's
chances at a conference title.
Mari st head coach Jim Parady
admitted this game was a little
bit tougher than normal to
handle.
"Anytime you lose a big game
like this it hurts," Parady said.
"But after losing the lead the way
we did, it definitely makes it a
little tougher."

Oddly enough, those

opponents-:-c:- fona, Fairfield,

Marist ( 1-6, 1.-1 MAAC), are
close behind in sixth place, with
seven league games remaining.
However, the

Red Foxes will
have to bring their game to an-
other level if they
are
to move
up the standings.
That level may have been ap-
proached

is the be,st team
the Red Foxes have played so
far.
"Any team in the Big East has
to be solid because it's one of
the best conferences in the
country," Ridni said.
But the second half saw:an-
otherbreakdown with the Wild-
cats scoring three goals in about
13minutes.
Assistant coach Andy
Fleming said despite the break-
. down, there were some positive
signs.
"For 15 minutes, we
ran
out of
gas and we got burned for it,"
he said ."But the first half was
the best half we have played all
season. '
Fleming added the Red Fox
offense was unlucky in hitting
die crossbar twice
along with a
missed call by the: referee. on an
apparent handbaH in the b6x .. ·
Heacl-coach Bobby Herodes
said the inexperience has really
hurt the team.
··
"The:young guys are still try- ..
ing to fig11re out how to focus
for 90:minutes,'' Herodes said,
"You can't just play in spurts."
Fleming said this week in par-
ticular is very important.
"We really feel we have a
chance against Iona and
Fairfield this week. Iona plays
its home games on turf and now
they have to play on grass
which_could give us an advan-
tage." Fleming said.
Toe Red Foxes will want to
represent Herodes well consid-
ering 'Iona was the last school
he coached for.
