The· mellO\~ thump of

tone of the evening as old

were•made.
About
32
Marist alumni of
Hispanic and African American
decent met with current Marist
students Oct. 24 for the first
alumnus reception• honoring
minority.· students.
}"he ~oweJl Thomas commu-
nication center room was
crowded · and stuffy as alumni
from• as far back as -1972 and as
far away as Texas converged.
Nadine Lewis, counselor and
tutor · coordinator for the •
Higher Education Opportunity
Program(HEOP) and president
of the Marist Minority Affairs
Professional Organization
(MMAPO), said this was the
first reception bringing to-
gether minority alumni.
"Up until 1968, the only stu-
dents of color that·attended
Marist were brothers from Af-
rica," she said.. "In 1969,
l\:'.1:arist became one of the first
colleges to sponsor HEOP and
with ~pat began the influx of stu-
dents of color."
Lewis said during the old days

back during alumni weekend.
"For a long time we had a con-
cern that alumni leave the col- .
lege and don't come back," she
said. "We wanted to change
that and increase participation
after graduation."
. Speaking to the alumni,
Desmond Murray; affirmative
action officer, said networking
was what the reception was all
about.
"It is important for students
to see where you [alumni] are
now- to guide them even though
you have graduated," Murray
said. "You are still are a part of
the Marist community and we
all have to contribute to each
other's success.
In
here you all
need to network, to talk."
The reception lasted two
hours and included everything
from entertainment to alumnus
speaking about their experi-
ences at Marist.
Jason Murray, Desmond
Murray's brother and a 1983
graduate, said he understood
what current students of color
said, life does not get any easier
. outside of college.
· "Struggle_ is what it's all
about:" he said. "l'veovercome
~
obs~acles. Regardless of your
major, it's your world. We're
here 'to give.you motivation."
Calvin Roberts, a 1986 gradu-
ate, grew up in foster care all
his life, dropped out of high
, school and earned his GED.
Marist's HEOP program pulled
him from what promised to be
a troubled life.
''.When
I
came here,
I
had con-
fidence in myself because of
[HEOP]," he said. "To you stu-
dents and alumni,
I
remember
when
I
came here I was scared."
Because of Marist's HEOP,
he said he was able to move on
to Columbia University, gradu-
ate with a degree i!l social work
and get a job working for the
state as an adoption specialist.
Desmond Murray said he was
pleased with how many turned
out for the reception, and
hoped next year they could get
a larger room.
"We did this fast," he said.
"Word spread real fast in our
community. Next year we can
use the cabaret, but this year we
had to fill this room."

The reception was not spon-
sored by the college, in fact,
Murray said, the college had no
idea MMAPO and the affirma-
tive advisory committee was
holding it.
"Every year the alumni affairs
office sends out a brochure to
come back to alumni weekend,"
Murray said. "How many came
back because of that bro-
chure?"
Four or five people raised
their hands.
"This time we went under-
3
ground," he said. "We didn't go
to the deans, vice presidents. we
didn't ask anybody to do this.
We thought it was a good idea
to do. Next year when you get
that brochure .... we'll be part
of the brochure. This is start-
ing a tradition."
Murray said he "couldn't tell
them too much in advance" for
fear the college would cancel
the event.

Thieves can work up quiie an
appetite as some Townhouse
residents learned recently .
Someone stole a 20-inch
television from the Townhouse
B-5 common area Oct.
11,
and
two pints of ice cream from
their freezer. This is the third
burglary reported since the end
of ~eptember.
Housemates said the burglary
took place sometime bet..yeen
2:30 and 7:30 a.m., after every-
one had gone to sleep. When ·
one housemate woke up the next
morning, he noticed the miss-
ing television.
.
·
The students filed a report
with Marist security, but B-5
resident, Philip Adams said_ he
did not think it was an on-cam-
pus student who burglarized the
apartment.
"You know whoever stole this
stuff is not on-campus," he
said, " because then you would
see a stock-pile of televisions
in someone's room. Either
that, or the robber must have
pawned
it
already."
Joe Leary, director of safety
and security at Marist, said
these burglaries are getting spe-
cial attention.
When a burglary occurs, one
officer is assigned to investi-
gate, and the _Housing and Resi-
dential Life Office is advised
the items may be around some-
where.
Speaking a9out the thefts that
have plagued North End since
September, Leary sai
_
d he
thought these crimes were
committed by someone o'n
campus.
"None of these instances was
a forced entry," he said, "and
also past experience has· me
tend to believe that these were
performed by someone on cam-
pus."
Leary said he is asking for co-
operation from the campus
community in locking its doors
to discourage thieves.
"These are crimes of oppor-
. tunity," he said. "We must stop
these opportunities."

While· her brothers and sis-
ters played with Barbie dolls
and Tonka to.ys, Christine
G~ldston played with comput-
ers.
. "I was put in front of a com-
puter when I was five years
old;" Goldston said.
This Brooklyn,
N.Y.
native
said she found her niche early
in high school.
· "I knew exactly what I wanted
to do,'' she said. "Sit me in
front of a computer and I'll be
happy."
Twenty-one year old
· Goldston will be graduating in
May with a computer science
.degree.
She recently com-
pleted a three-month internship
with IBM this past summer.
"I wasn't really looking for
one," she said. "I gave Career
. Services my resume and IBM
called me. I wasn't expecting
anything."
Goldston interned as a sys-
tems. management integrator
with IBM Global Services at
the Poughkeepsie site. In other
words, she investigated prod-
',ucts installed and the ISO prod-
uct matrices for IBM and ven-
dor products.
"I also created the MVS Pro.:
gram· Products home page· for
the IBM Intranet," ·Goldston
said.
Goldston said she loved the
people she worked with. Team-
. work was her favorite aspect of
the job..
·
"We were a close-knit team
under a lot of stress," she said.
"But we always pulled together
to meet our deadlines."
Goldston's team consisted
of 20 to 30 people.
Tim Macey, Goldston's man-
ager at IBM," said Goldston's
positive attitude made her stand
apart from other workers.
"Christine is always smiling,"
Macey said. "She isn't afraid
to take on new things."
Goldston said creating
a-
home page for the
IBM
Intranet
was challenging.
"I really didn't know much
about html," she said. "It was a
learning experience and I was
prepared to take on a new envi-
ronment of my field."
Goldston said she admits she
puts a considerable amount of
pressure on herself.
·
"I push myself enough to get
me where I want to be," she safd.
"l love the responsibility and
. the _fact that my team depended
on-me. 1 did a good job.'"
Goldston said she could not
think ofa negative aspect of the
job.
· "I didn't have any problems.''
she said. "I worked long hours·
.in
a relaxed atmosphere with
people I liked. I liked the work
that I was doing.'" .
She is currently working as
a PC support technician in the
Donnelly computer lab.
Batsiarai Kambarami, an in-
. formation center· assistant and
Goldstein's co-worker, de-
scribed Goldston in three
words.
.
_ "Christine is happy, helpful
and hard-working," Kambarami
said.
In addition to working in the
computer lab, Goldston cur-
. rently landed a part-time job
through Career Services at
Community School Networks
in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
Goldston said Career Ser-
vices are very helpful.
"I also received another in-
ternship through Career Ser-
vices during the su~mer of '96
with the Candle Corporation,"
she said. "It's a software devel-
opment company in White
Plains,N.Y."
.

Christine Goldston Interned at IBM over the summer, which will
lead to a job after.
Goldston said she feels in-
ternships can direct people to
where they want to go in life.
"They put you right in your
field to help you decide that
· that's what you really want to
do," she said. "You won't get
full experience in your field
until you actually get out there.'''
Her advice to others in her
field is all about dedication.
"It's something you have to
love from the bottom of your
heart," she said. "If you're se-
rious about it- go for it. There ·s
so much to do with a computer
science degree."
Although h~r internship
ended in September, IBM did
not let Goldston go. She was
·offered a full-time job.
'"I thought about it for a couple
of hours and accepted the next
day," she said. ·
Goldston will begin her ca-
reer with IBM on May 25,
1998.

Esposito said RDs try to be-

Resident directors, RDs; are
a support system for students
living on campus. Each section
of campus has an RD. Resident
directors deal with different
types of situations in the dorms,
ranging from a cat in the base-
ment to students locked out of
their rooms; RDs always have
to be prepared to deal with the
unexpected.
"If
you're the RD on duty af-

controversial magazine Hke Higli Times. fligh Times. is an excellent, informa-

more often than not, assumes thatsiudents_ of this school are children and not

It
is very;refreshing Jo .see that the bookstore; at least in
this respect, recognizes that
we
are responsible adults who can-make our clt!ci-
sions about our lifestyle. The war on drugs in this country and. on this campus, is
reprehensible :md is led
by

Sunday morning talk shows
trashing some government pro-

stead, he has been turning up
on Martha Stewart Living,
showing viewers how to make
paper mache animals out of
shredded documents.
·
Someone who has been try-
ing to make amends is Chinese
President Jiang Zemin, making
his first U.S. Tour in over a de-
cade. Jiang's publicist issued a
statement explaining that this
was due to sagging album sales
and a .desire to just
"be
away
from the band".
·
All over the country, people
are wondering why the Chinese
have been away for
s-9
long.
The real reason is that the Chi-
nese were too busy beating
political prisoners and shoot~
ing protestors to even notice.
Most people do notrealize how
much work a police state really
is.
Whatever the reason, China
is back, and better than ever.
There are those that hope that
this sort of a goodwill tour will
_
help to make amends for some
·
of China's prior indiscretions,
which we can just chalk up as
being the result of bad public
relations.

There are many other
reasons that make it this nice
·
,
considering that I live in New
Jersey.
-
_
Foremost could be that
at Marist I can reside happily
in the state of anonymity, or
maybejust ambiguity .
.
Today,) was wandering
.
through the library ancl I picked
.
up
a
copy of J.D. Salinger's
Nine Stories.
I discovered that
it
_
was not about an apartment
building. However obvious
this may seem, consider that for
many years I collected a good
deal of "discarded" library
,
books, and forjust as many
·
years, I thought that "dis-
carded" meant merely tha
_
t the
"Date Due" cards were tom out
of the back cover. As far out in
left field I may have been, I
never thought
The CatcherJn
the Rye
was about a baseball
player.
.
.
.
Unfortunately, my stupidity is
not confined to the library, It
can even be traced
to
several
other public buildings. Just
over the summer, I walked into
what appeared to be a post of-
fice and went up to a window. I
asked the gentleman, who was
clad in a blue uniform, for a
postcard stamp. He looked at
me like I was completely insane.
I returned the favor, until
1
real-
ized that his was glance was
more like that of a police officer
who was completely shocked
that some moron
.
could walk
into a police station
·
under the
impression that·it
'
was a post
office. I then realized that this
moron was me.
Orie instance of what turned
,
out to be st~pidity occurred at
a fair when I was twelve. As
myclassmates and I passed by
the Scrambler, I procJaimed,
"Oh; wow! Who wants to go
.
on?" 'lp.ei:ewas silence. Then,
from
'
the back of the crowd,
there was an "Ooh! Ooh!
i
love
The Scrambler! I'll
go
on!''
It
·
.
was the boy· that I
'
"married"
on the school bus in the sec-
ond grade;
My
consent to go-
ing on
.
the Scrambler raised
doubts about my claim that I
no choice to marry him, be-
cause I HAD to "walk down the
aisle'' to get off the bus.
·
·
I tried to conceal my complete
horror with a smile, despite that
·
.
I boarded the ride a:s though I
was the late Jean Dixon board-
ing the Hindenburg. I didn't
need to be psychic to kno~ that
·
this situation
·
was going
to
blow
up in my fc1.ce. Though, I sup-
pose-1' d have to be alive.
.
.
The boy, seated on the out-
side of our car, slid across the
bench and repeatedly slammed
into me, as the ride spun. He
.
was oblivious to the fact that
though I didn't have motion
sickness, I felt like I was going
to retch.
As the attendant unlocked
our safety bar, the boy ex-
claimed, "Oh! There's still no
line!" He turned toward the at-
tendant, "We'd like to go on
again, but let's switch places .. I
want the inside s
_
o I can be
squished!"
At that moment, I
_
had no in-
tention of sticking around, and
thus lost all tack- er- tact.
-
I
asked to be let off the ride. The
attendant, quite confused at
this point, complied, and I did
my best impersonation of that
·
very ride, as I "scrambled" past
the jeering kids who had con~
gregated at the gate.
_
Perhaps there's a lack of con-
.
tinuity in my description of con-
fusions in the library, and the
subsequent teasing I faced with
the
Scrambler incident.
Though, maybe I have spent
more time in the library in these
past years because no one can
jeer too loudly there
.
Incense
and peppermints are things to
be taken lightly- I meant "in-
sults and compliments," but.
however unrelated, they sound
kind of the same. Kind of like
that Alanis Morrisette lyi-ic-
"That cross I bear that you gave
_
to
,
me," sounds kind of like
"That cross-eyed bear that you
gave to me." Or maybe it's not
like that at all. Maybe you're
not familiar with that line.

live within a five mile radius of a
teenage girl, you oughtta know.

If
the Chinese agree
·
to this, then Mr. Clinton will
-
lift the U.S. bari on nuclear
sales to China. Basically, the
ban will be lifted, despite the
fact that the Chinese govern-
ment is considered to be
"bad", because they are bet-
ter than Iran.
Closer to home, in an inter-
esting tum of events
,
trading
on the floor of The New York
Stock Exchange was halted on
Monday for t~e first time ever.
The Dow sustained incredible
losses as a result to trouble in
the Asian markets. In fact, the
Dow
fell
so far so quickly that
it was legally declared to be

career.
Trading ceased for half an
hour at 2:35pm and then
ended for the day an hour
later. This was a matter of pro-
cedure:
If
the Dow loses
250
points, trading will be sus-
pended for thirty minutes.
If
it then continues to fall below
550, trading will stop for an
hour.
This got me thinking about
.
my personal life,
and
what bet-
ter forum to take care of this
than a political column? La-
dies, due to my

Since this column's sweep

ing theme
_
has
been apology, (
thought that I should first
apologize for that fast bit in ad-
·
vance. Second, I thought that
there would be no better way
to conclude this week's column
by briefly discussing
a
group
·
of people who have a great deal
·
of apologizing to do: The Cleve-
land Indians.
The
1997
World Series will go
down in history as being filled
with drama
,
extra
innings, and
more disinterested sports fans
than any Fall Classic ever.
Even if one was excited about
the Indians making it to these-
ries, they no,v have to retroac-
tively be disinterested in the
game
.
How
else
could they face
their peers, knowing that they
lost to a team that did not even
exist the last time the Indians
won
a
World Series.
On that note,
I
would like to
take this moment to invite any
and all of you to send your
comments regarding this col-
umn to me

as
I
am sure that there is some-
one out there that I need to

to.

Coach Smith was delighted

The success of the MAAC
Championship carried over into
the remainder of the fall sea-

of 5-1. The remaining fourteen
matches

perhaps without the team's star.
"I

Head coach Bobby Herodes
summed up the disappointing
homestand.
"The four games typified the
_season in the fact that we can .
not finish and the freshmen are
not mentally-tough enough for

minutes," he sai'd. . ·
Senior Andy Dolan added
comments similar to those of

The Red Foxes' focus will be

Bierwirth led the team in scor-

by JIMDZIEZYNSKI
A&E Editor
Earlier this year I found the
source of Poland Spring natural
water in Maine. Of course I can't
tell you where it is because a
big angry black bear will ramble
down to.Poughkeepsie and bite
my face off. Nonetheless, the
thrill of seeing the mysterious
origin of America's favorite
bouled water made me feel like
_ a big• man and inspired
ine
to
keep my eyes open when I went
off to hike Mount Marcy, the
highest peak in New York. At
5,320
feet, Marcy is located in
the heart of the high peaks re-
gion of the Adirondack Moun-
tains in Lake Placid, New York.
Once again, the trip proved to
be
as
exciting asthe actual climb.
We left Marist College Satur-
day October 11th with vague
directions and a "Mt. Marcy or
bust" attitude. Along on this
journey were

Devil's Advocate Addr~sses Professional Morality and Showcases·Talerited Actors
by Brian Hill ·
Staff Writer··
· Evil reins supreme when-Sa-
tan is manifest as the head of a
law firm in Taylor Hackford's
The Devil's Advocate.
Grisly in· its portrayal of con-
temporary American life, the film
lets us know what it takes to,
"swim with the sharks."
Keanu Reeves plays· Kevin
Lomax;'a hot shot lawyer from
Florida who's never lost a case.
After successfully defending an
obviously guilty child molester,
he's recruited by an upscale NY
law firm run by a guy named
John Milton (Al Pacino). At first
everything seems to be going
swell. Kevin wins a nearly im-
possible case involving the sac-
rifice of a goat, scores an amaz-
ing company apartment in New
- York City, and is asked to stay
on at the finn full time. What
more could a small-town boy
want?
But noteverything about this·
new job is rosy: Cases begin tq
take over Kevin's life, leaving
his wife Mary Ann (Charlize
Theron) with nothing to do but
sit at their new home and brood
over what,. color to paint the
walls. Why she can't find any-
thing to do in New York City is
confusing, but since her bore-
dom is essen_tial to the plot, it
just sort of fits.
At a company party, Kevin
leaves Mary Ann alone so that
he can go and work on some-
thing. Uncomfortable by herself
amidst all of these swanky
people, Mary Ann finds com-
fort in John Milton. Boldly con-
versing about the beauty of her
neck. Milton tells herthat she· d
look much better with short hair,
which leads her to later cut it.
His flirtations with this married
woman indicate that there is
something shady about him.
Loneliness turns into depres-
sion for Mary Ann. and even-
tually she is hospitalized tis a
result of hallucinating. For some
reason, she sees all of the firm ·s
employees as hideous mon-
sters.
After freeing a man he knew
was guilty of murder. Kevin be-
gins to question the motives of
his employers. Tl}is catapµlts
him into a web of evil more ex-
tensive than he had ever imag-
ined and turns into a battle for
his soul.
As a supernatural thriller. this
film succeeds on the strength
of its acting. The entire cast
takes the subject matter seri-
ously, which translates into a
believable world in which the
devil actually exists. Reeves
gives a surprisingly powerful
performance as Kevin, far re-
moved from his usual stiffness.
Pacino coasts through the film
as Satan, not quite living up to
his potential, but still doing a
solid job.
While at first the plot may
Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves star In Devil's Advocate.
sound a lot like The Firm, The
Devil's Advoca.te is much more
than your typical legal thriller.
It
focuses on 1he ethics of prac-
ticing law, questioning the po-
tential it has for legitimizing evil.
Sure Kevin ·s a good lawyer, but
does all of that razzle-dazzle jus-
tify freeing the guilty"? Maybe
someone should ask O.J.
