Even.as last returns.are filed, people debate ~evisionsto tax·system·
by
RoB WELLS
AP Tax Writer
WASHINGTON (AP)-As millions·
scrambled to meet Tuesday night's tax
deadline, politicians engaged in a re-
lated spring ritual: a lot of ideas for
reform and a little IRS bashing .
. The Clinton administration pro-
posed
a
package of 60 mostly minor
initiatives to simplify the tax code,
such as making tax payments with a
credit card and stkamlining rules for
claiming deductions for dependent
children younger than .19.
Republicans in Congress, mean-
while, geared up
f9r
a.week's worth
of events making a.case for dramatic
tax reform and focusing on allegations
of-mismanagement and computer
problems at the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice.
House Ways and Means Chainnan
Bill Archer,R-Texas, who wants to re-.
· place the tax code with a national sales
tax, said tax reform is overdue._
"I am convinced that if most mem~
hers of Congress did their own taxes,
we would have had tax refonn long
ago," he said.
Meanwhile, the private Tax Foun-
dation estimated that the average
· American will see his entire paycheck
spent in taxes through May 9 the 128th
day of the year.
·
If
taxpayers feel beat tip after fin-
ishing their taxes this year; that's noth-
ing compared to the almost daily drub-
bing of the IRS. Critics portray the

ZAGREB, Croatia (AP)--President
Franjo Tudjman's ruling nationalist
_
party triumphed again in weekend
elections, but there were indications
Tuesday that its grip on power could
be challenged in several key towns.
Tudjman's party voice_d confidence
that it would gain control of the capi-
tal Zagreb, where a quarter of
Croatia's 4.5 million people live.
In the Adriatic port of Split,
· Croatia's second-biggest city, prelimi-
nary results gaye the opposition a
chance to dump the mayor from
Tudjman's Croatian Democratic
Union, known as HDZ.
Final official results from weekend
municipal elections were not expected
before Wednesday or Thursday.
Zagreb analyst Ivari Grdesic linked
the shift toward opposition parties in
some towns to "sociaf dfss~tisfaction in'
the cities."

In the election campaign, ·the HDZ

Serbs voted for the first time in inde-

United Nations officials who super-
vised the elections in the region, known
as eastern Slavonia, said they expect to
validate the election despite; major or-
ganizational problems that led officials
to open polls for an u~scheduled sec-
ond and third day on Monday and Tues-

THE CIRCLE,
April 17, 1997
3
Panelists debate right to die
by
AMANDA
BRADLEY
Staff Writer
Do we have the right to die?
The legalization of physician-assisted
suicide
(PAS);
was the topic of the third
lecture
of
the "Ethics
·
and Society;' series.
..
.
The lecture
•
was entitled "Making
Choices:
,
The Right to Die" and was spon-
sored by the CunneenHackett Charitable
Trust.
.
The
.
division of humanities hosted the
lecture, which was held in the Nelly Goletti
Theater Wednesday, April 9.
The
.
presentation
.
consisted of two
guest speakers, a four-person panel, and
a question and answer period.
Dennis Murray, president ofMarist Col-
lege, had previously asked the academic
departments to hold a panel dealing with
a "hot" topic in society.
"This lecture deals with the mission
.
statement (of the College) of moral eth-
.
ics," Murray said in his welcoming ad-
dress.
·
Gail Presby, assistant professor of phi-
losophy, said she
felt
the lecture series
exposed the community to
a
different kind
of intellectual experience.
"(The lectures) engage the Marist com-
munity in a philosophical debate on this
most pressing topic," said Presby.
The guest speakers for the night were
Dan
W.
Brock and Edmund D. Pellegrino.
Brock is a professor of philosophy and
biomedical ethics at Brown University.
Pellegrino, MD is a professor of medi-
. cine and medical ethics at Georgetown
University Medical Center.
The two men have debated this issue
before, each representing opposing views
on the legalization of
PAS .
.
Broc
.
k expressed to the gathered audi-
ence of students, faculty, and staff, his
views that PAS should be legalized. He
said he believes it should be legal for two
main reasons; to retain human dignity,
and for the reassurance of the majority .
"Human dignity lies in our capacity to
value our life," Brock said.
·
He said he believes dignity is a very im-
portant issue in a person's life.
Brock said when a person reaches the
border between a dignified versus an un-
dignified death, a person would want to
be given the choice of whether or not to
continue life.
According to Brock, if a person wishes
to uphold his or her dignity by ending
life, that person feels he or she keeps the
memory of life maintained for people to
remember that person by.
.
Patients would be assured a more hu-
mane death by their standards that they
may not always receive otherwise.
Brock also said he believes legalizing
PAS, would be a reassuring insurance
policy to people.
He explained this by using the compari-
son of fire insurance on a home. Most
.
people have it, and it is available if needed,
but for the most part, the vast majority
will never utilize it.
It is estimated that, iflegalizeci, only two
to three percent of deaths each year are
the result of physician-assisted suicide.
"It is not a huge number, but it is not

Mayor addresses city registration and crime rates

"We want our students that live in the
city to resolve any problems that come
about," he said. "It is my opinion [the
ordinance] is not going to work."
Lafuente also tackled crime during her
lecture, saying it is the major issue facing
the city of Poughkeepsie.
.
Crime is still prevalent, but the streets
are cleaner than when she took office a
little more than
a
year ago, she said.
"Crime
has gone down, but it has not
been eradicated," Lafuente said, pointing
out there were l

1995,

when she took office.
"You don't see as many [drug dealers]
as you did when I first came to office, but
it is still terrible," she said.
Lafuente also works as a teacher at Ar-
lington High School, and said she pur-
posely drives up Main Street during her
daily commute between school and city
hall.
''There are a lot of businesses on Main
Street that are fronts for drugs," she said.
"[But] merchants on Main Street have told
me that things have gotten better."
She said she attributes this to a new
police contract that changed difficult ro-
tating shifts to patrol shifts. Also, she
said, community patrols have been very
succesful.
Lafuente also discussed her role as
mayor of Poughkeepsie and her long po-
litical history.
She said being mayor is not about de-
bating welfare, abonion, or other hot po-
litical topics. It is about making the city
run smoothly.
"Are the potholes out, what is the crime,
are the streetlights on? Those are our
concerns," she said. "We are there to pro-
vide those basic services to allow people
to
survive their daily lives."
With only a four square mile jurisdic-
tion, she said the job ranges from ex-
tremely difficult, as during Dutchess
County
'
s recent state of emergency, to
very easy.
"If
you only need
15
minutes a day [to
do the job], then you can do it that way,"
she said.
Being mayor cannot be defined as ei-
ther a part- or full-time job, according to
her, which is why she refused to quit her
teaching job at Arlington High School.
It became an issue during the campaign
because both her opponents could have
put 1n
a
full
40
hours. But, Lafuente, who
has 26 years of political experience, said
she felt she could handle both jobs, as
long as she distinguished between them.
"I
keep them separate," she said.
"I
only
call my administrative assistant during
lunch."

Marist is hoping to influence
next year's state and federal bud-
.
gets by urgtng every Marist fac-
ulty, staff, and student to write
their representatives demanding
more financial aid
;
In a recent memorandum to the
Marist community, President
Dennis Murray urged everyone
to write their elected officials in
support of two federal programs
that would make college tuition
tax
deductible and increase Pell
Grant spending in
I 998.
A letter
slated to go out this week will
urge parents, as well as the
Marist community, to protest the
decline in New York State aid.
"I am asking you to contact our
elected officials in Washington
and urge their support of the pro-
posed legislation," Murray said
in the April
8
memorandum.
One proposal included in this
year's federal budget would al-
low taxpayers to deduct tuition
and other college fees from their
incomes.
According to Murray, the de-
duction would be worth $5,000
in
1997
and
1998,
rising to $10,000
in
1999.
Families earning less
than $80,000 a year could claim a
full deduction.
.
.
.
The second proposal being
considered is a
.
$1,7 billion in~
crease
.
in federal Pell
.
Grant
spendi.ng next year. Murray said
the increase would be the larg-
est in 20 years, and it would
mean the maximum award would
rise from $2,700 to $3,000 a year.
Accordfog to Tim Massie,
Mari st chief relations officer, it is
unfortunate the government has
been slashing college student aid
for years.
"How ill-prepared are we going
to allow our students to be to
enter the workplace?" he said.
"It
makes sense to support educa-
tion because you're preparing
people for the work force. You
can't do it with a high school
education."
Murray said he will send a let-
ter this week to the parents of all
.
Marist students to urge the New
York legislature to increase
spending for the Tuition Assis-
tance Program (TAP), Direct In
-
stitutional Aid (DIA), and
.
the
Higher Education Opportunity
Program
(HEOP).
According to the Commission
on Independent Colleges and
Universities, TAP was originally
designed to help New York fami-
lies offset education costs of in-
dependent colleges and univer-
sities. But TAP's influence has

insignificant either," stated
Brock.
On the other .side of the debate
was Pellegrino. He said he be-
lieves it is against ethics and
morals to legalize PAS.
"It is morally, socially and le-:
gaily unacceptable and does not
achieve its goal," Pellegrino said.
He had
IO
reasons as to why,
in his eyes, PAS should not be
legalized.
Two of his main points were
based on how the physician/pa-
tient trusti~g relationship would
be undermined and how the role
of the physician would be ad-
versely affected with regard to
the ability to end a patient's life
upon request.
"(With this ability) the physi-
cian
becomes an instrument of
something other than human,"
Pellegrino said.
Pellegrino said to give a physi-
cian the ability to end a patient's
life on request shows the power
of scientific medicine.
Overa11, he said he feels PAS is
a malevolent act.
"Legalizing PAS would have a
deleterious impact on society by
how it devaluates a whole group
of people by categorizing who
can and who can't participate in
this 'treatment'," said Pellegrino.
The panelists then each briefly
explained
their
personal
thoughts on the topic and how it
has related in their work.

But unlike Brock, Daniels said
he feels the Supreme
Court
will
not allow for legalized physician-
assisted -suicide.
"I
hope that the PAS can stand
on its. own merits of legisfature
and not involve already existing·
laws," Daniels
said.
Michael Felder, founding chair
of the Community Health Plan
Ethical Issues Committee, said he
agrees with Pellegrino.
He pointed out that most
HM Os do not include HOSPICE
care in their provided health ben-
efits.
Felder said this shows how
care plans are shaped by the mon-
etary values of corporations, and
it also shows the boundaries be-
tween quality care and PAS.
Greg
G.
Moses, assistant pr~-
fessor of philosophy, stated his
reaction to responses he had re-
ceived from his students.
He said he noticed students are
more sympathetic to PAS due to
their experiences with elderly rela-
tives looking for a relief from their
pain and suffering.
He noted that a main reason
was that when elderly relatives
could no longer afford to receive
treatment, they needed a relief as
well.
Moses

pointed out how ~e_is-
sue of money was a determmmg
factor for ethical values in soci-
ety today.
The last panelist,

believes PAS is being used to by-
pass poor management on the

not be used as such.

Renyard criticized for alcohol content
·
Editor
:
Prospective students should gain a greater appreciation for Marist by reading the
Renyard. Unfortunately, if prospective students look at the 1996 yearbook they will
believe Marist is a bar
,
not a college.
A yearbook can be a great recruiter, if done correctly
.
Unfortunately, the only
students impressed by this yearbook are heavy drinkers and drunk drivers. These
students would be most pleased with the picture and caption on page
118. On the
bottom of the page is a picture which looks from the 1970s. In the photo are students
in a convertible cruising around campus while some appear to be consuming alco-
hol. Specifically, the shot
-
gun passenger is waving a bottle of wine
;
and three
others are drinking from cans.
The caption for the picture reads,
"
THE REAL DEFINITION OF CRUSIN':
Even in the old days, it was great fun to pile as many people into a car and go riding
around
.
These students demonstrate how it should be done."
Are we to assume that drinking and driving is "how it should be done?"
I sincerely hope the Reynard does not tolera
t
e drinking and driving. This page is
highly offensive to anyone who has lost a loved one to a drunk driver. Furthermore,
it condones a practice which kills innocent people. These messages have no place
in any setting, especially an academic one.
The yearbook was also laced with more than 25 pictures ofMarist s!lJdents drink-
ing
.
Student drinking is natural, however it should not be glorified
ht
a yearbook.
Marist's
e
xtraordinarily rigid drinking regulations make these pictures ironic. The
message expressed by these pictures
i
s that policies have changed. However, to
the best of my knowledge, Marist stiU denounces student drinking
.
Thus, the
yearbook pictures refute official MaristCollege policy
..
:
.
•
• .
~

.
'
Hopefully, when I am a senior, I will not be "either drinking to surviving the
past
three
years,
or
drinking
to forget
about the hardest
year
of
all
:
THE SENIOR YEAR.
"
This ludicrous caption is found on page 48 of the Renyard.
In the future, the Renyard should show more competence in producing a potential
recruiting tool like our yearbook.
If this fails to occur, Marist is not on the road to
greater standards, but rather to an intoxicated haze.

It is not every day that you get The Nern and Paco to agree to play. Why don't we go
play on the new courts down at the McCann Center? Oh, ~at's right, those are riot
suppossed to be ready until the Spring of 1997.

guess
it isn't quite Spring yet.

Well
,
the reason I
am
writing this letter is because this has happened to ~e on more
than one occassion. One specific occassion really made me mad
.
I called down there
and found out that there was an indoor soccer tournament until 5pm. So, I asked if the
courts would be open after that. "No," he responded.
.
Apparently, they "couldn't" put the hoops up right after the tournament because it
was going to continue orfSunday morning. Is it really' that hard to wheel those hoops
out? Maybe I should have offered to do it myself
.
It has gotten so difficuluo find a
basketball hoop that last weekend I had to go play at
an
elementary school in Highland,
over the bridge.
I think that a school that has a Division I-A team should have basketball courts open
for the use of its students on the weekends. It is kind of disappointing to see Marist
security driving aroung in new cars when w~ cannot even pay the construction workers
enough to finish on time. But, that is a topic for another tiine. Until then, !guess there
will always be Nerf Hoops.

the UN contributes to New York's economy.
There would, however, be a great decrease in sales of "My Diplo-

Was This Lousy T-shirt" shirts.
The UN has also vowed to take the matter up with the World
Court. Because, after all, that is what the World Court was designed
for: to settle such weighty matters of parking at a meter without
putting any change into it.
"Put off the trial of those Nazi war criminals for another couple of
weeks. The guy from Hondonis made a right on a red!"
Of course, the State Department backed down almost immediately.
Last week, they quietly tried to back away from the
agreement

Instead, they propose that the City merely try to persuade the
various members of the UN to pay their tickets. If backing down on
this scale had occurred during World War II, the US would have

a new source of hatred for Mayor Guliani, who is making sure not to
let this issue die down during an election year.
Some people may say that the problem here lies with the stubborn-
ness of the City.
They might say that the United Nations should be left alone to do
its business. The fact of the matter is that anyone who would say
that is wrong.
The Uniteq Nations should be left alone to go about its business,
that is certainly true. They would be able to do so, if the diplomats
would just bother to pay the fines that have amassed over the years.
Or, better yet, if they would just not break the law of the country
where they are guests.
At the heart of the matter is the fact that the diplomats are just
being rude. And, this time it is not just us. Americans are notorious
for bad behavior when on foreign soil. But, look at the example these
other countries set for us.
While they are certainly doing wonderful work trying to keep the
world away from World War III, they are guests in our country.

THE CIRCLE
. April 17, 1997
CIRCLE SEX SURVEY RESULTS
How the Survey Was Conducted
The Circle mailed a survey about sex to 500 students selected randomly by com-
puter on March 21, 1997. Each survey was accompanied by a letter explaining the
purpose of the survey, how
it
was to be filled out and where
it
was to be returned.
Another envelope was provided so that the students could respond confidentially. A
drop-off box was set up in the Council of Clubs Room, Student Center 368. The last
day that surveys were accepted was April 5, 1997.
The survey itself was comprised of 26 questions, some of which had more than one
part. The students were told that they could skip any question they felt uncomfort-
able answering. All surveys were anonymous. The only personal identification in-
formation asked for was the person's gender, class year and age.
The response were tabulated using the Statistical Program for the Social Sciences.
Forty-six people responded to the survey-about a 10 percent return rate. Although
a small number such as this does not guarantee a scientific result, the responses are
valid none the less.
The results are listed here. Some of the percentages due not add up to
l
00 due to
rounding. Some questions were dependent on the subject having engaging in sexual
intercourse. In those questions, only those students are reflected in the percentages.

"I

he said. "I've heard of one or two indi-

However, according to Layton, al-

No symptoms does not mean no problem with STDs

.
wants students to be
more concerned about sexually transmit-
ted diseases.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
are diseases that are usually passed from
one infected person to another through
sexual.contact. STDs are most prevalent
among teenagers and young adults.
According to the National Institute of
. Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID),
one third of all STD cases involve teen-
agers.
Schaffer, health services' registered
nurse, said people should be more con-
cerned about STDs.
"I think the general population should
be more concerned about STDs," she said.
"It is an issue that is a high priority to
anyone who is sexually active .. People
that are involved in sexual activity have
to be aware of the consequences that
might occur.''
Sophomore Stacey Spina said she thinks
students should be more concerned about
STDs as well.
"Students who are having unprotected
sex should definitely be more concerned
about contracting STDs," she said .
Initially, some STDs cause no symp:-
toms. After symptoms develop, they
sometimes may be confused with other
diseases. Even
if
a person does not have
any symptoms, he or she can still pass the

According to Schaffer, most STDs are
treatable with antibiotics if diagnosed
early. However,
if
a STD is not diagnosed

"Some STDs if undiagnosed or diag-
nosed at a later stage can result in chronic
disease which can lead to other symptoms
which would not be easily treatable, such
as gonorrhea, which can lead to blind-
ness," she said.
Students are encouraged to go to health
services if they suspect they might have
a STD.
If

ally refers the student to Saint Francis
Hospital or the Dutchess County Health
Department, where test results are kept

Schaffer said confidentially is the rea-

tics on the number of students at Marist
who have contracted a STD.
"We don't get the results. That infor-
mation is given directly to the students,"
she said. "It remains confidential between
the medical care worker and the student
involved."

About
45 minutes away from
campus, there is a sleepy town
past

Rhinebeck called

Tivoli
Bays.
Gina, my intern supervisor at
Dutchess County Tourism sug-
gested to go and find this funky
bistro, Cafe Pongo.
,
I had my doubts about finding
a hip place
·
so far away from a
metropolitan, but I spoke to
.
the
owner of the cafe,
.
Valerie, and
her enthusiasm inspired me to
take that long drive.
I took my friend, Ta, on a
Fri-
day night. It was twilight when
we arrived, and
.
the place was
something that one would find
in Soho. Eclectic decor and mar-
tini music from a
.
band called
Combustible Edison. (Yes, I had
to ask what CD was playing.)
The notion that EVERY -
.
THING that was served was
made from scratch intrigued me
to no end. Valerie (who also
served us) described the menu as
'neighborhood cuisine, prepared
with a creative twist.'
They were

was served witli

virgin olive
oil
and marinara sauce. I could vi-
sualize the CIA graduate chef,
Mark Rizzo, straining the local
tomatoes earlier that morning.
Yes, it was that fresh.
To start, I ordered the blue
cheese salad with caramelized
onions and warm vinaigrette
($6).
Ta had the special appe-
tizer of the day
.
It was a plate of chicken on
skewers and different sauces
that you can dip them in: soy
sauce
and
a
_
Thai peanut sauce
that was truly incredible!

Sports With Smitty
After watching pro golf sensa-
tion Tiger Woods this past week-
end at the Masters, ·
I
started
thinking how important his age
is in considering his triumphs.
Woods is a mere 21 years of age
and has accomplished more hon-
ors and money than most of us
will see in an entire lifetime.
Watching Woods on television
one can see
an
obvious concen-
tration, focus, and mental disci-
pline.
I
find this extremely mo-
tivating since most people at his
age have a million things on their
mind, between school, work, re-
lationships, etc. Woods has been
able to get an extraordinary
handle on everything and focus
all his energy on winning and
possibly being the best golfer in
the world at this time.
Now switching from the na-
tional to the local scene,
I
believe
Woods' attitude can be applied
and compared to college sports
arid the athletes. Collegiate ath-
letes put in a great deal of time
practicing, devote time to stud-
ies, and still manage to have a
social life.
I
think this deserves
commendation.
Student -athletes need to keep ·
the same type ·of focus and con-
centration that Woods had this
weekend. He shot four over par
in his first nine holes and then
proceeded to win the Masters at
18 under par. Student-athletes
overcome problems like these
everyday. Whether it be an in-
jury, missed classes due to
games, or poor grades on tests,.
Student-athletes need to harness
their frustration and excel in all
aspects in their life or people are
disappointed. This is a great deal
of pressure that must
be
endured
as
an
athlete.
·
Student-athletes only help and
enhance Marist's reputation.
They exemplify school spirit,
hard work, and dedication. Stu-
dent-athletes serve as role mod-
els for the entire Marist commu-
nity. They show people that it is
possible to experience. different
aspects. of Hfe. Time manage-
ment and self-confidence
are
key
attributes of student-athletes that
we all can draw on and learn
from to better ourselves and our
school and community.
Women's Track-
... conrinuedfrom page 16
weekend
and the second being
the
10,000. "I
had been hoping
to break this one," Woodson said
of the 5000. When asked about
the 3000, she said, "This week-
end we'll see." Also lingering in
the background is the
I 0,000,
which Kelly believes that
Woodson
can
also break. "Hell,"
Woodson exclaimed when asked
what the
10,000
is like.
"I'm planning to finish
it.
1\venty-five laps can make a per-
son go
crazy."
. A
great deal of pe~ple look up ..
to professi,onal athletes everyday
for their prowess on the field. · I
think
that.we should.all respect
· athletes on the college level here
at Marist for all their achieve-
. ments. Most of them· are play-
ing for the love of the sport and
not for monetary reasons. This
desire and love show that they
are a special breed. All student-
athletes deserve a word of praise .
and congratulations. Good luck
to· all athletes and especially to
the spring athletes for the re-
mainder of the season. Keep
making us proud- Marist is a bet-
ter place because of all of you.
Thanks.

Sports Editor.

Wagner has improved both of-

the smoking bats of Wagner.
Wagner backed up their produc-

wet,
you just wanted to run your race

The high point of the day ea.tne
from senior Pat Casey who
placed second in the 3,000
steeplechase even though the
meet was non-scoring.

The Red Foxes strongest event
in
terms of most
nifiri~fs
was the

run which had sophomore
