"Fata]; Vision" goggles·show-Stridents· dangers-of drunken drivin
MOULTONBORO, .N.K
(AP)-
Driver's education students
"in
Moultonboro are. not only being
taught how to steer, tllrn and stop on
a dime, they're also learning to see
the road through a drunk's eyes.
Parents and students at the Red Hill
Driving S_chool strapped on special
goggles that simulate the warped vi-
sion of someone who is drunk in or-
. der to undersfand just' how danger-
ous it i_s to 'drink and 9rivei
New Hampshire State Trooper·
Steve Rowland led the group through
:a series of sobriety_ tests used by
police on the· road to demonstrate the
toll drinking or taking drugs takes on
one's ability to drive.
Rowland said 32 of the drivers in-
volved in the state's 167 motor ve-
hicle fatalities in
1994
were impaired
by drugs or alcohol._
· Looking through the goggles is simi-
lar to looking througn.

Hampshire's legal liriiifis
.OS:
Peter Beznosk;a, who was among the
student drivers who tri~d
the
goggles,
said his vision of realify:was distorted.
"Everything looked wh~re it shouldn't
have been,-" he said.
·
Those wearing the goggles had
trouble navigating ·tl,ie ·series of tests,
which included walki_ng,a straight line,
reaching out to touclf a pen and stand-
ing on one leg.

•
"I feel like I'm on a boat," said student·
driver Molly King as 'she ~tteinpted to
negotiate the line.
Rowland reminded the group that
drinking produces worse effects than
blurry.vision. It also alters the brain's
ability .to function.
. · ''.It all has to do with your brain which
is your main power plant and tells your
body what to do," he said.
Rowland also said alcohol and drugs
slow reaction times.
. "Everyone saw how poorly people
did on the tests wearing the goggles,"
he said. "Imagine how they'd perform
if they were also dealing with the brain
impairment of being-intoxicated or
high."
The lesson hit home with many of
the students.
Student John Joyce said he got a
different perspective from the goggles.
"Everything looked like it was curv-
ing," he said. "Anyone who drives
drunk is a retard."

~arist set
up
the priority point system
.
in thelate 1970s. This year, however, a
change has been made to the system. Stu-
dents
will
be a~le to receive up to 12 points
for their
GPA,
as opposed to the former
eight.
.
.
Another ch~ge that has been proposed
by the Student Government Association
(SGA)
addresses the inclusion of employ-
ment on or off campus in the distribution
··
of priority points. A student can receive
one point for
16 hours a week or two for
20 hours a week.
·
Patrick Mara; student body president
,
said the change to incl tide employment in
the priority point system was done to
make the system more fair .
.
"A person who worked would not get
as many [priority points] as someone who
just received good grades, so there was a
need for a fairer reward system," said Mara.
Mara said
.
the low amount of points one
can receive was done for a reason. The
points are not to be given as an incentive
to work, as opposed to joining and be ac-
tive in campus clubs .

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR
During these last weeks of the Spring Semester,
whether you live off campus or not,
consideration for the good people of the area,
in their homes and in their neighborhood,
is important •
The Marist tradition includes consideration

According to Mara, requiring

a $90per"semester activities fee
.
for full~tiine students is not out-
landish:
.
In fact, he said Marist's
fee
is
now comparable to other
institutions of similar size.
"The increase is sm&ll enough
·
to be competitive with other
schools," he said
.
Mara also said
.
some colleges,
·
including Siena and Providence
College, are researching activities
fee increases, and many ofthem
also receive programming fund-
ing from other areas
:
"We're going to end up being
right in the middle because other
schools are also researching
their activities fees and looking
at an increase," Mara said.
Another factor that should be
taken into consideration, Mara
said, is thatMarist's fee increase
was approved before the tuition
increase was voted on.
Therefore, the activities fee
should be taken into consider-
ation as the tuition increase is
calculated.

Mara continues to work diligently
to fulfill the last of his campaign
promises.
Mara said he took every step
to ensure that each of his goals
was realistic. As a result, he said
he has not encountered any ob-
sta~les significant enough to
prevent him from fulfilling his
campaign promises.
"I was very careful when I cam-
paigned because I didn't want to
not follow through on some-
thing," he said.

commencement or the baccalau-
reate ceremony.
. ·
Mara's list of accomplishments
as student body president so far
includes the chartering of seven
clubs, selecting Susan Molinari
as the commencement speaker,
and gaining student representa-
tion on several committees at
Marist.
Mara said he believes his great-
est achievements were raising

and helping students indi-
vidually with small problems.
''Taking care of all of the things
that nobody really gets to see
and really helping people indi-
-vidually was the best part of it,"
he said.
·
Dealing individually with stu-
dents also allowed Mara to
strengthen the relationship be-
tween SGA and the student
body. He said he was able to
keep the students better informed
and interested about the student
government by providing a bul-
letin board outside the SGA of-
fice, keeping the SGA office door
open for people to walk in, and
by talking with students to find
out their concerns.
"In the fall, I walked around
three different times to the dif-
ferent residence areas to meet
people face to face," he said.
"~veryone usually waits for the
students to come to them, but
you really need to go to the stu-
dents.''

CAMBRIDGE, England
{AP)-Stepheri Hawking's uni-
verse is expanding now that he
'
s
plugged into the Internet.
The world's best-known physi-
cist, whose unified theory of the
universe contradicts the big bang
theory, on Thursday showed off
a new computer that plugs him
·
into the 'net,' and allows him to
hold forth on everything from
this morning's headlines to
tomorrow's theorems.
"This computer makes me the
most switched-on person alive,"
Hawking said in an interview
with
The
Associated
Press.
Confined to a wheelchair,
Hawking,
55,
has suffered from
Lou
Gehrig's
disease-,..
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-
since his 20s.
He outlived early predictions
of his imminent death to impress
his peers with a revolutionary
1974 paper on miniature black
hoJes
and
the rest of the world
with his lucid 1988 account of
the mysteries of the universe, A
Brief History of Time.
Voiceless since the removal of
his trachea in
1985,
he pioneered
the use of an electronic synthe-
sizer to keep talking.
His latest model, designed by
Intel~ expands on the synthesizer
by making it Windows-friendly
so he can communicate on the

addition, it includes innova-

lights in
his home, and turn the stereo and
TV on and off.
Were there any glitches?
"It is a bit slow, but I think
·
slowly," he said in the artificial
accent that lands somewhere be-
tween standard American and
Scandinavian.
Intel president Gordon Moore
said the machinery lacked com-
mercial potential
and would probably
be
confined
to Hawking's use alone.
"Just helping him
be
produc-
tive is extremely important,"
Moore said, watching Hawking
use his thumb, one of the few
parts of his body he still controls,
to speed through an on-screen
vocabulary. "He's an outstand-

· Today is March 26, only 52
more days until graduation ... you

I have been a tight bundle of
nerves lately, excited about this
momentous time in my life, but
also extremely .... scared.

a Grade A

driving me nuts! These are the
thoughts that keep me up at
night.
·
- This past weekend,- someone
gave me some sound advice .. I
was, as usual, complaining about
the tunnoil going on in my life.
I discussed all my options, and
then I proceeded to explain why
I thought each one was doomed
Jo failure: In the midst of my car-
rying on, this person interrupted
me and said, "Why are you com-
plaining about what hasn't even
happened yet? Why are you set-
ting yourself up for failure? In-
stead of focusing on what could
happen, get yourself together and· ·
figure out a plan to make
something,one thing, go right. . "
These words went through me
like a shot. I realized how true
they were.- Iristead of actively
pursuing my options and seri-
ously thinking about what to do
with myself and how to go about
it, I was sitting around complain-·
ing and convincing myself I
could never get a job I loved
which paid well, so why bother?
My resume needed some pol-
ishing. I have not even begun to
· think about cover letters, and job
hµnting? Besides some half-
hearted web searches, I was not
even trying.
I realized these past few days
that I really need to get in gear.
Graduation is only
a
blink away,
and if I continue on this way, I
will never go anywhere. So I sat
down and seriously considered
my options. I shaped up my re-
sume and downloaded some
sample cover letters· off the
Internet. Tomorrow, I am going
to ransack the Career Center Of-
fice (which is where I work, so
my lackadaisical, reluctant atti-
tude is even more pathetic) and
seriously do some job searching.
I knew all along that the at least
some of the answers were at my
fingertips, it was just a question
of how badly I wanted to reach.
· And, by the way, that voice of
wisdom? Thanks, Mom.

Editorial
Missed opportunities of a ,would-be college town
As I am rapidly approaching the end of my senior year here at Marist, I am begin-
ning to reflect on the past four years, including a few missed opportunities. One of
these opportunities that never dawned on me untilrecently is that after nearly four
years of living in Poughkeepsie, I have never even met a Vassar or a Bard student,
and only occasionally have-I crossed the path of a CIA or Dutchess Community
College student. . .
It seems to me that with five area
schools,
Poughkeepsie
has
the potential of being
a true college town; but for some ·reason, there is little to no interaction between
schools.
·
I think it would be great if the events at each school were more widely publicized
and students at each college actually felt welcome to attend events at other schools.
I have heard that Vassar has had several interesting lectures
with
well-known speak-
ers, and Bard is constantly hosting poetry readings and concerts, but I have never
felt welcome to go to any of them. Sadly enough, I do not even know how to get to
either of these schools.
By operating.as completely isolated entities, I think all of the schools are missing
out on a lot. Each school has so much to gain by interacting, but it seems nobody
is willing to take the first step.
.
.
.
..
I wish I realized earlier that it would have been a good idea to at least vi.sit the other··
nearby colleges, even if qnly to learn what students there do for fun .. ·
As it is, there is no sense of camaraderie between colleges. There is not even·a ·
healthy rivalry between the schools. There's nothing. AndI think
.
that is a sµame:

So, as if being denied of their rights in the election process, a great

people to do something about their corrupt president. Just like any

,- This is about the time that all Americans were evacuated from the
country. After all, if Americans want to be in a hazardous situation
_where there is a high risk of being shot, they could go to a public
high school.
·
While things are beginning to look a bit more promising for a reso-
lution of the conflict, it does not appear to be coming soon. Presi-
dent Berisha tried to make amends by appointing a Socialist Prime
.
Minister in the way of Bashkim Fino (which will actually get you
triple word score in Scrabble).
Unfortunately, Mr. Berisha soon realized that the gun-toting rebels
will only become happy gun-toting rebels when he resigns. Berisha
has already promised to step down, but it seems to have been an
insincere promise. This really should come as no surprise, though,
as his previous promise was "Read my lips: No new taxes".
Berisha may still be in power, but it is unclear how long he can hold
of the rebels while also maintaining his hold on the government. It
does seem that Berisha is already on his way out, as he has already
been replaced by his eight-year-old understudy in the revival of
Annie.
'f!le bottom line is, though, that whatever happens in Albania, it is
unhkely that we will ever hear much about how everything turns out.
After all, our guys are out of there, and it is not like the revels are
going to try and take on the U.S.
So, this story will probably get put away in the vast "Who Cares?"
file, along_ with the Falkland Islands and Yahoo Serious. Maybe one
-"'='"'t':tt
day we wdl all hear about it when our kids are doing their History
homework, and have to read up on the long-lasting effects of this
conflict. Then, they will tell you all about the drug prevention film
they got to see.

Forget about it: Brasco a must see
by Tim

A&EEditor
Following in the tradition of
The Godfather, Goodfellas
and
Casino
comes a new look inside
the world of organized crime.
This time, though, we are not
shown this world by an actual
gangster.
Donnie Brasco tells the story
of FBI agentJoe Pistone (Johnny
Depp) who infiltrated the orga-
nized crime world of New York
City in the l970's through a man
named · Benjamin (Lefty)
Ruggerio (Al Pacino) Brasco was
based on Pistone's autobio-
graphical account of the under-
cover years in New York where
he played the role of Donnie
Brasco, a jewel broker.
Joe/Donnie meets Lefty in a bar
one afternoon because Lefty is
looking to sell off some diamonds
which have recently come into
his possession. Donnie immedi-
ately realizes that the diamonds
are fugazi (fake) and tells Lefty.

The 1997 Marist College men's
lacrosse team has stumbled out ·
of the starting 'gates. T~o losses
to_ tough non-conference oppo-
nents; and a heartbreaking con-
ference opent:lf against Prov:i-
dence hay_e 4ropped, the Red
Foxes into an early 0-3 hole.
:TheMAAC schedule got un-
derway .. Ia:st _Saturday .when
Marist hosted the Friars of Provi-
dence CoHege. Senior co-captain
Greg Schneider drew first blood
with his first quarter goal- the
only shot that hit.the back of the
net for either team
in the open-
ing stanza.
Providence. tied the game 38
seconds into _the second quar-
ter, establishing a pattern that
would continue for the rest of the
game; every Red Fox goal was
answered by the Friars as Provi-
dence battled from behind time
after time.
· The largest lead of the game for
Marist was three, which was the
margin with 5:33 left in the game.
With the score 12-9, Providence's
Chris McManus s·cored two
quick goa:Is in iess than two min-
utes, and then Ken Leahy knot-
ted the sco.re. at 12 when he

game,"the midfielder said. "We
played hard, though. I don't re-
ally mind losing. one of these
games, because the effort was
there."
...
The season·began with two
non-conference games, a 22-15
loss at the Virginia Military Insti-
tute on the road, and another de-
feat- in the home opener- to
Lafayette, by a 9-6 count.
-
At this point in the season, two
juniors are th_e team's statistical
leaders. Stuart McMiHian, a
midfielder, leads the squad with
nine goals through the first three
games, and attacker Chris Pistello
has racked up eight assists.
The team's strength this year
should be its experience; th~ six
most productive players are all
juniors and seniors, and are ready
to improve on last spring's 7-8
record.
Cameron, a 1995 graduate o_f
Rutgers lJniversity, spent two
years coaching high school la-
crosse on Long Island before
coming to Maristfor his first col-
legiate head coaching job. He is
optimistic about this campaign.
"We've got a great group of
guys here, and we're getting bet-
ter every_ day," the coach said.
'Tm enjoying it so far- we're
just trying to put things together."

... continued from page 16
"Melanie has proven to
be
a
solid player as well as a true
goalie, she helps keep us in the
game making clutch saves in the
final minutes of close games,"
Piechocki said.
On the road this weekend, the
Marist women's lacrosse went 1-
1, defeating Duquesne 16-8, and
losing to Mount St. Mary's 20-5.
Scoring for the Red Foxes in the
win, were Amy Hoey with 6 goals,
Allison Occhicone with 5 goals,
Lindsay Bennet with 2 and Col-
leen McMahon with I.
Next up for Mari st are the Lady
Danes of Albany, at Albany on
Wednesday April 2. The Red
Foxes open their home season
