Employee· luncheon kicks off
campus division of Marist fund
by TIM MANSON
Asst. Editor
The campus division of the Marist Fund
kicked off its 1997 campaign Wednesday
with a lunc
_
heon to thank the employees
who contributed last year and give the
goals for the fund this year.
Jenni fer Dubuque, Marist director of
an.nu.ii giving, said the purpose of the
· fund is
to
raise money to cover certain
expen!'>cs that might not be covered by
Marist's _budget.
"_It [lhc fund] is a pool of unrestricted
money that the college can use for what-
ever th1~ need is," said Debuque.
Dubuque said other examples of things
the fund helps support are student ser-
vices, library books and microfilm, build-
ing maintenance and faculty salaries.
"It's the difference between Marist bal-
ancing· the budget and not," said
Dubuque.
A Wide range of faculty, staff and any-
one who previously donated to the Fund
were invited to the luncheon, as well as
new employees and some alumni.
Dubuque said there were about 135 to 140
in attendance.
Linda Pisacano, a clerical worker in the
Registrar's Office, said it was her first time
attending the luncheon.
- "I
enjoyed it," said Pisacano.
''I
had
never gone before and it:was a very posi-
tive experience for me.•~ ·
Sansola said the club would pay
for
the
new equipment by use of funds that were
allocatedfor other purposes.
The radio station is not the only stu-
dent-run media organization at Marist that
is having trouble with its equipment.
According to Michael Onorato, president
ofMCTY, the equipment in the Marist TV
studio is inadequate.
"If
I had to rate our TV program com-
pared with other schools, it's severely lack-
. ing," he said.
Onorato said because of budget limita-
tions, all equipment the station orders must
be very low cost.
Consequently, the programs do not al-
ways look as well on the air as he would
like. He said the station could use better
cameras, lighting, and microphones.
Onorato said the station's approach
. over the last few years is to make the best
use of equipment it has and slowly make
improvements.
"It's piecemeal, but it's a gradual piece-
meal," he said.
Onorato said he wishes the communi-
cations department would do more to ob-
tain equipment. He said perhaps they
could develop a rapport with the local
community to see if other stations are
getting rid of their equipment. Then,
Marist could obtain it.
Onorato said it is sometimes embarrass-
ing when he talks to incoming freshmen
who join the TV station who have come
· from very good TV programs at their
schools.
''They say, hey, I did more and I had
more in high school," he said.
. Guy t.ometti, dean of the school of com-
munications and the arts, said the finan-
cialsituation is shaky right now.
'The bottom-line probiem is that money
is scarce and tight everywhere, not just at
Marist, but in the business world," he said.
Lometti said the communications depart-
ment is having problems trying to main-
tain its own equipment for its classes.
'The problem that the radio station is
facing is similar to the same one we have
faced with the studio equipment in the
[Lowell Thomas] building," he said.
'We're struggling to maintain the equip-
ment that we have in the studios."·
Although the communications school
cannot not offer much in the way of fi-
nancial support, Lometti said they try to
be helpful whenever they can.
"In
general, what the academic programs
do is offer advice and expertise to these
student organizations," he said.
Lometti also said the media clubs should
look at the long-term, rather than the short-
term and allocate money into their budget
for emergency situations like this.
"If
the student clubs take a long-term
focus and they're able to build an element
into their budget for procuring equipment
and maintenance, perhaps these situa-
tions can be avoided," he said.
· Melichar said he is not discouraged by
the numerous problems this year.
"We've faced some problems, but I think
we've made it through," he said.
Melichar said his major goal is to get
back on the air and tum the station over
to another group of dedicated people.
Melichar also said the student activi-
ties office has helped tremendously in this
period of difficulty.
"If
it wasn't funding or something else,
it's they've made it clear that they really
care about the radio station and they want
t9 get it off the ground," he said.
According toDubuque, the fund is split
into seven divisions:
.
trustees, alumni,
parents. husinesses, campus, friends, and

Three womyn sang about rape and
breast cancer on Monday.
Living the Dream and American Program
Bureau presented the choreopoem
Womyn With Wings in the Nelly Galetti
Theateron Feb
.
3.
The choreopoem, which
is a combination of song, dance
,
and
poem, was pe
_
rformed by Anita Davis,
Khieka Jennings and Debra Tucker
.
The
Student Programming Council brought the
group
.
to Marist.
Jennings said if the performance had
covered
all of the topics relative to women,
the
·
show would have lasted much longer
than
-
its two hour duration.

"Women are so complex,

with," she said.
"If
we· had,
tlle
sho'N
would have lasted a thousand
·
years,
and
.
no one would come to see
it."
The issues the womyn covered included
domestic violence, rape, God, homosexu-
ality and abortion
,
.
among other things.
Davis said she would have liked to in-
clude a few more.
.
"!think many women deal with the is-
sue of external beauty and eating disor-
ders," she said.
"
I think we need to ad-
dres~ that more in our society
.
"
The Womyn expressed a very positive
attitude
.·
towards being a woman, and
standing up for what one believed in.
Eliza-
beth Spagnuolo, senior, said she came to
the performance for a class, but she en-
joyed the show
.
·
"1 think it is good, although I can't re-
late to all of it," she said.
"I
had no idea
what the performance would be like
.
I
thought it would just be a play, instead of
a choreopoem."
The Womyn presented the choreopoem
dressed all in black, using three chairs as
their only props. They used their voices
and bodies to relay their message
.
Chris-
tine Minchak, senior, said the performance
was much different than what she ex-
pected. "It focuses a lot on women as in-
dividuals, without constantly putting men
·
down," she said."! think it's really
good

the show was incredible.
"I felt the show

of
a
person or event Iwan,t to remember .
.
I cannot listen to Billy Joel's ''This
is the Time" without recalling my senior p~om,
'
and every time I hear an Alannis Morisette
song, I think about the members of the last band I played in. .
.
Most people take for
.
granted that music will always be with us. Schools tend to focus
on the "\mportant" aspects of education, such as writing,
.
mathematics, and science,
because these are the skills students will need
fo
the
real
world; While it is
.
true that these
are all tremendously important, we should not overlook other equally-important courses.
For at least
as
long as I have been in school, music has been treated as an extra-curricular
activity that needs only to be cultivated within students on their free time and with their
own money.
'
This limits many students' access to musical education by causing it to
conflict with other extra-curricular activities and by putting the financial burden 9n the
students and their families.
·
Maybe music will always be around, but without funding for music programs, it
will
probably take a tum for the worse. If the trend of cutting music budgets continues, there
will be a decreasing number of trained musicians and ~n increasing number of tone deaf
teenagers grinding on electric guitars, which by the way, is not unlike a few bands I have
played in.

clear language so that everybody can understand .
.
One way to solve the problem is to conduct some of the more mundane
hurem 1c.-:itic tasks by e-mail. Another bureaucratic chore is meetings. Many
times,
it
seems like all that occurs on this campus is meetings of one kind or

millions ofus who grew up in the
late 70s . and the early 80s: The
Star Wars Trilogy.
Ator1e point the first film, "A
New Hope", cmnmonly referred
to
as
simply "Star Wars", was the.
most successful movie of all time.
It has been replaced by films
such
ns
"Jurrasic Park" and "In-
dependC'nce Day", but, these
are
hardly films ·that hold a special
place in the heart of so many
people.
For both of you who. have
never seen the fiim, it is essen-
tially the story of the tyrannical
rule over the galaxy by
an
evil
Empire.An Empire who captures
a spoik-d princess, who in .tum
has to he rescued by an elderly
wizard.
a
hick from a desert farm,
a space pirate, a walking carpet,
and two talking can openers.
Some,,·here in there, they man-
age to quell the Empire's plan of
crushing all who stand in their
way. Ar le.1st until the sequels ...

Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) comforts Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) after the disappearance of
Ben Kenobl in the original 'Star Wars,' which was recently re-released
in
a special edition.
Wars: The Special Edition."
I
am
sure that there are plenty
of you out there 'I/I/ho thought to
themselves "So what? I got the
whole trilogy
for
Christmas last
year. Why should I pay $7 .25 to
see it in the theater?"
The answer to that question is
simple: because it is one of the
most unbelievable experiences
that you can· pay for 'INhile still

··
Seeing tl_le film on the ·big
screen would be more rhan
enough to lure tons of us back
into the theater. Even if they
showed the same cruddy prints
that have been sitting around for
two decades,
it
would still be
worth seeing on the big screen.
But, alas, no. There is more.
For the film's twentieth anniver-
sary, Lucas had the film and
sound remastered, used today's
teclui~Jogy.to improvejipon the
original special effects; and, best
of all, added some new scenes.
Twentieth Century Fox
coughed up
$15
Million for Lucas
to update the three existing films,
$10
Million of which was spent
on the first one. This is to test
the waters for the three prequels
intended for release beginning in
1999.
It
would seem
that
Fox made
a good investment: Opening
weekend grosses were reported
to be $38 Million.
Apparently, none of the $10
Million for Star Wars could have
been eannarked for the develop-
ment of a new countdown se-

· While researching this article,
I interviewed many people. Not
one of them said anything about
marketing.To me, this is the most
important
aspect of
Star Wars:
Special Edition.
They were more
concerned with seeing Luke
make the Death Star run on the
big screen.
I want to see this, but the com:.
mercial nature of the movie is
holding me back.

youth, it has always bothered me
that the time code at the bottom
of the screen does not match with
the audio countdown given. You
would hear "Death Star ap-
proaching rebel base, in nine
minutes" and the time code
would say
"0:03:23".

upset me to no end, as I had this
storybook when
I
was a kid that
had a picture from this scene, and
I had always wanted to see it.
Although, I hear that the scene
slowed down the film, at fifteen
minutes in length, and therefore
would not be worth spending
money on.
Unfortunately, some of the
money was spent to recreate the
scene in the Most Eisley Cantina
where Han encounters Greedo,
Jabba's henchmen. What was
done to this scene undermines
the character of Han Solo as he

The

The Hawks won the

Injured team

able to break records
by
DAVID
McBRIDE
Staff Writer
Short handed
·
seems to
.
be the
·
word around the womens indoor
track team locker room. This word
led to the explanation for the Red
Foxes' loss at their past meet.
This past weekend,
·
the Red
Foxes traveled to Colgate Univer-
sity to compete in the Colgate
University Quad Meet along with
Canisius, Hamilton, and the
hosts
.
The Red Foxes finished
fourth in the meet with a total of
75 points. Finishing first with 203
points was Colgate, followed by
Canisius and Hamilton.
13ut on behalf of the Red Foxes,
they were entering the meet with-
out a number of key performers.
"We were short handed," head
coach Phil Kelly said of his
squad.
For various reasons, team mem-
bers such as Kathleen Woodson,
Meredith Wilson, Sue Kenny,
Mary McQuillan, and Karen
Donahue were unable to com-
pete
.
This was especially pain-
ful for Kelly's squad as the scor-
ing was done through interna-
tional scoring, which meant that
teams could pick up points for
merely participating in events.
Marist could have picked up ad-
ditional points, but wouid have
had to have used personnel who
were inexper~!!nced in those
events.
·
·
\vitfi
the
·
·
snortage
of
Red.Fox
ruimei:s, Marist was unable to
compete in every event. But
stiJJ,
Kelly was proud of his teams ef-
fort.
_
"l
was very happy with the
meet,"
Kelly said.
~
In the meet, both Dominique
~ipo and Alison Murray set both
meet and school records
.
Pino
also broke another Marist record
as
she finished with a timeof27
;
1
inthe200m.
"Dominique Pino had a real
good
.
meet," Kelly said of one of
his best runners.
Pino also finished first in the
55
with a time of7
.21,
breaking her
own Marist record as well as the
meet record .. She was also ham-
pered by a heal injury which
·
.
.
forced her out of any jumping
events.
Competing in the 400, Marist's
Alison_ Murray finished with a
time of 62.2, also breaking her
own record and the meet record.
Murray beat her old time by
.
3 of
a second
.
Running in the 800, Beth
Johnson set a personal best
while finishing in sixth place with
a time of2:30.5.
Johnson is just now beginning
to come back from
an
injury.
Kelly also made reference to the
~rfcmnance of Debra Flanigan
in the 400, saying she ran "very
well." Flanigan finished in third
place as she had also surpassed
the meet's record with a time
of
63.7.
Other strong individual perfor-
mances were
.
turned in by Tara
Quinn in the mile, Karen Mangan,
Flanigan,
and
Murray who each
were part of the l 00, and Karen
Donahue and Jennifer Glover
who ran strong in the 3000.
The relay teams also ran well
with the
4
x 800 teain finishing in
second place. The team, com-
prised of Murray, Mangan,
Johnson, and Flanigan, turned in
a time of
I 0:08.1, with Flanigan
turn
_
ing in a time of2:3
l
.3.
Pino also turned in a time of 65.6
inthe4x400relay. Runningwith
her were Quinn, Jen Delosso, and
Nadine Simon, and the overall
time
was
4:38.4.
Not only was it hard for the Red
Foxes to compete short handed,
bu
_
t it is also
.
har:d to compete
against teams such as Colgate

superiof training
facilities. ·
·
When asked about
the
main dif-
ference between
his
squad and
Colgate, Kelly
was
quick to com-
ply.
''The big
·
differential is (that)
they have the most beautiful field
house," Kelly said.
He made mention of the indoor
jumping pi~ and the luxury of
having the track offices right in-
side the field house .
.
"A
facility like that brings ath-
letes in," Kelly said
.
This next weekend, the team
heads back to Colgate to com-
pete in the Colgate Invitational
Class of 1932 Invitational. The
team will also be back to almost
full strength as a number of its
top runners will be returning to
action.
Men's fmish fourth at Colgate
by
DENNIS Dowo
Staff Writer
Last Saturday at 7:00 a.m., while
most Marist students were
snuggled under the sheets, the
men's track and field team
stumbled onto a coach bus
_
headed to Hamilton,
NY.
Their
·
mission was to compete against
three other teams in the Colgate
·
International Invitational Tour-
nament.
One may think that with a title
like "International"
there
would
~
squads representing the four
comers of the planet, as in the
Olympics, This hardly seemed
possible
with
Canisius,
Hamilton, Marist, and Colgate
not even ranging from the four
·
comers of the Empire State.
·
·
·
"International" is a type of
·
compet
i
tion in which the scores
from the top two members of a
team, competing in an event
,
are
averaged together for the team
score
.
For instance, if one long
distance runner came in first
in
an event, but another member of
your team· finished dead last in
the same event, the chance of
coming in first would
be
less than
finishing second and third.
Regardless, the Red Foxes fin-
ished a disappointing founh out
of
four teams.
"It was the first time we had
competed in a meet like this," said
head coach Pete Colaizzo. "We
went up there for the work and
.
almost everyone on the team
competed in more than one
event."
The t_eam was edged out of
third by' host Colgate, by only
two points. First and second
