About 30 SGA members and
~obert Lynch, director of stu-
~ent activities, met for three
hours Saturday in the Student
Center's Perfonning Arts Room.
At the center of the "classes
as clubs" debate is that classes
are currently treated as clubs.
This means they receive the
same
$125
operating budget as
a club.
Jacob D' Addario, president of
the class of 2000, said this is a
problem considering each class
has 800 or more members.
He argued strongly that
classes should not be consid-
ered as clubs, and should have
more access to school money
for fondraisers and events.
'.'You all IJelong toaciass and
classes need to be social, but to
be social you need r1lcmey to get
people together," D' Addario
said. "We really aren't a club,
but we are funded like a·club
. [and] it should be easier for
classes to get money."
.
He suggested the process
could
be
simplified if each class
was allotted about
$2;ooo
each
in one lump sum that could be
budgeted by the individual
classes. He also suggested that
operating budgets for classes
be raised to
$225.
John Williams, student body
vice president, disagreed and
argued that throwing money at
the problem would not solve
anything.
"For you to say you need a
Jump sum js preposterous," Wil-
liams said. "We're so hung up

no consensus had been met, but
after the summit,Colleen
McCulloch said finding a solu-

"Now thatthese ideas are sur

Marist will soon be construct-
ing a new academic building on
North End to add
to
its longHst
of projects in the coming
months.
-
Plans are in development for_
the construction of a new 20,000
square-foot building that will
house the Division of Humani-
ties Faculty offices, the Marist
Institute for Public Opinion, ad-
ditional classroom space and
computedabs ..
;The lmilding is proposed to
be located on the grassy area
north of the Dyson Center, just
below the parking lot.
Anthony V. Campilii, vice
president for Business Affairs,
said he hopes for an ambitious
schedule for the project, but
it
is too early in the planning to
be definite.
"We hope to complete it by
the end of the Fall semester next
y~ar," he said-:
iAr<:hit~cts will send out the
first draft of the'pians next ~eek. ·
The Perry Dean Rogers and
Partners architectural firm from
Boston are working on this
project and are al_so building the
library.
The starting date for construc-
tion is temporarily set for March
I, in ·hopes of having a
.
basic
structure up before graduation.
Canipilii said he hopes the mild
weather will continue to coop-
erate.
"If
the weather continues, we
can jump-start consiruction,"
he said.
The project is anticipated to
cost approximately $4.6 million.
Campilii said the financing will
be combined with that of the li-
brary.
"Part will be borrowed from
outside, 75 percent to 80 per-
cent, but it is not decided what
maybe tax-exempt bonds. ·[Th~
other] 25 percent is from inter-
nal reserves," he said.
The anticipated cost will in-

ogy and landscaping. Campilii

Richard Lewis, assistant aca-
demic vice president, said the
plans for the new building were
brought about in Dec. 1997, as·
a result of the pending destruc-
tion of the library and Fontaine
Hallin May.
"The initial plan was to move
Humanities to Donnelly," Lewis
said. "But with the costs of tran-
sition we considered it better to
just create a new building. There
was also the need for more
classrooms."
Lewis said he met in Decem-
ber with the Humanities Depart-
ment chairs and the dean to
come up with a program that re-
flected the needs of the depart-
ment to be given to the archi-
tects to develop plans.
The original plan was to reno-
vate the recently bought
Poughkeepsie Steel Plant and
put the faculty in existing space
in Donnelly Hall.
Campilii said they took into
co,nsideration many options and
dec.ided that <;onstructing a new_
building would be the best pos-
sibility in the long run.

Late night, low lights, deep
discussions about philosophy
and new innovative ideas ex-
changed between professors
and students.
Tuesday night was the first in
what will become an ongoing
series where students will have
the opportunity to take part in a
discussion with professors of
different departments. The Fac-
ulty Discussion Series is a pro-
gram designed to bring profes-
sors into student life.
· Rich Wolcott, assistant direc-
tor of Student Activities, said
the discussion series will be a
good opportunity for profes-
sors and teachers to network.
"It's a chance for professors
to go beyond their standard
syllabus and share their re-
search with students," he said.
"It's much more of a discussion
than a lecture."
Wolcott and Steve Sansola,
assistant dean of Student Ac-
tivities, were instrumental in cre-
ating this program.
"We had heard of other col-
leges doing this, so we followed
up on it, and personalized it for
this campus." Sansola said.
He said it is part of a larger
goal of learning outside the
classroom.
Wolcott said holding the dis-
cussions in the student center
is important.
"It's appropriate that these
discussions are held in the stu-
-
-
comfortable than in a class-
room:•
he said.
These lectures began Tues-
day with Joseph Kirtland. assis-
tant professor of mathematics.
who spoke on "The Earth. The
Universe. and the Fourth Dimen-
sion:·
"The main point that I hope to
get across is that our views of
the universe keep changing with
our evolution." Kirtland said.
··Jt's not a proven theory. but
it's my chance to explain what I
believe to be true, and why this
controversial subject is so in-
teresting. I believe this is a great
opportunity for me to discuss
my ideas with interested stu-
dents outside of the classroom.
while also promoting an aca-
demic environment on campus:·
The program has been well
received by faculty according to
Wolcott, who is already plan-
ning for next semester.
"The schedule is set for this
semester so we are now in the
planning process for next year,
and already many professors
have come to me about partici-
pating next semester." he said.
Wolcott said student reaction
to this program will be measured
in the coming weeks as more
students become informed
about the series.
"The SGA will be giving us
feedback to the disc;-;sio;-_ in
the next coup\e of weeks, .. he
said.

said music is something he has
always grown up with.
"I used to play in every musi-
cal thing in high .school like
band, chorus, jazz band," he
said. "I played trombone, gui-
tar, bass guitar, and sang in cho-
rus, so I've always been a mu-
sical person."
·
Music has also given this
20-
year-old a chance to get to .know
the members of Marcy Play-
ground.
John Wozniak, vocals and
guitar, Dylan Keefe, bass. and
Dan Reiser, drums, make up this
alternative music band. The·
band's first release, "Sex and
Candy," has topped the alterna-
tive charts.
Boyd, the General Manager
of 88.1 WMCR - Marist Col-
lege Radio, first met the band
members on April 19, 1997
when he interviewed them be-
fore the Toad the Wet Sprocket
concert. Marcy Playground was
the opening band for Toad.
Boyd said he got to know the
personal side of the band.
"We talked about fast-food,
songs, and guitars and offbeat
stuff because there wasn't much ·
to talk about at the time because
nobody's heard their music," he
said. "So it was really more of
a personal thing than a musical
thing."
Boyd eventually interviewed
Toad after waiting two hours for
clearance from the band. While
he was waiting, he ended up
hanging out with Marcy Play-
ground.
Boyd said he thought the end
of the show was the end of con-
tact with the band, but last sum-
mer changed that.
"I was really bored over the
summer so· I went on. America
Online and I had Marcy Play-
ground down as a band that I
liked so people kept on e-mail-
i ng me information about
them," he said.
Because of the limited amount
of information on the Internet
about the band, Boyd, who de-
scribes himself as a cortiputer
geek, decided to make
a
:web
page about the band.
.
.· .. · .
"I realized I kne\.V a lofabout
the band so I was fike 'I'll make
a web-site,' so I make up this
internet page ·and people started
looking at it and I was getting
e-mails from those people," he
said.
.
. •.
· Surprisingly, Boyd said,, fre
received email from people
connected with the band. .
. 'This is the weird thing, I just
did this one thing and I got e-
mail from the lead singer's
fa-
ther, the tour manager, their
agent, Capitol Records, and
they told me to keep on doing it
[web-page) because this really
looks good for the band," he ·
said.
The. relationship between
Boyd and the band continued
when he went to a show with
his friends in Massachusetts on
Halloween.
. "We_ went to the show and the
guys remembered me and we
went back to their hotel and
hung out and John gave me a
backstage pass so
.I
can get into
all their shows for free," he said.
"So the week before we came
back this semester I saw five
shows in
a
row."

Mahi rnahi is a lean fish that has

taste to it. Sin

(Personally I would use some

hand only used salt and too
much of it at that. The roll the
sandwich was served on was
also too big. The bread con-
cealed the taste of the fish. They
should have used a smaller

The sandwich came
with a side of french fries which
were extremely crisp and fla-

The entrees come with salad

vegetables, mashed potatoes.

Ov~rall. Red Lobster is an in-

the same quality that you might
rind in a more expensive restau-
rant? No. Their cooks arc not
able to recreate the dishes you
might find in an upscale eatery.

since they arc a large com-
pany and have their reputation
to uphold you can almost be

Marist locks do
·
ors at 11:00, to the surprise of most
Recently, security has decided that a good way to cut down on crime at Marist is
to lock the doors for the student
_
s in their Gartland apartments.
.
_,
My hous_emates and I were given absolutely n
·
o warning whatsoever of this
·
new
procedure. One of my housemates and
l
came home one evening to find the down-
stairs door to our second floor apartments was
_
locked. Now, for those unfamiliar
with Gartland, the second floor apartment has a doorto let one
·
in to the stairway, and
then a door to each of the two apartments at the top of the stairs. This door has its
own lock.
My housemates and
I
called security in a panic, because we thought something
must be wrong with our downstairs door. Why else would it not open?
A very nice security guard came to our house and explained there was nothing
wrong with the door, but that security was locking all the doors in Gartland, starting
at
I I :00
p.m.
I was in shock. Apparently. I am not old enough to have the capacity to make the
decision to lock my door
,
so someone is going to come and lock it for me every night.
I simply cannot understand the logic in all of this. Being twenty-one
,
I feel that I am
old enough to face reality. Reality is that when you don't lock your door, someone
may find this out. break in and steal all of your stuff. I do not need someone coming
to lock my door for me at I I
:00
p.m. each night.
I have heard that some students do not like the fact
s
ecurity is not a constant
presence in the North End. I am not one that holds that opinion in the least bit. I like
the small i1mount of freedom we are offered living in the North End. Now, even the
no-curfew rule is being taken away, in.a sense. At
11 :00,
the doors are locked.
Of course, I could get in with my key, but it is the principal of the situation. I think
that everyone who lives in the North End, or anywhere on campus for that matter,
has the ability to decide if they want
to
lock their door or not. Sometimes, I do not
.
want to carry my
·
key
,
or I forget
it.
If I am corning home at a certain time
,
my
housemates know this
,
and will keep the door open
.
This is no longer an option.
I am trying to understand security's point of view in trying to eliminate the theft
problems at Mari st
,
but locking us in at night as if we were children is not the answer.
I-also feel that Marist is a place where reality does not always exist. In reality, there
are bad people, who break into your house and steal your stuff. I really do not think
security locking our doors for us is going to help us. We are competent enough to
do that ourselves, and if we are not, we will have to pay the consequences.
Marist is a safe campus. and I am glad it does not have the same atmosphere that
Main Street has. However
,
I also think we are all mature enough on this campus to
have the sense to lock-our own doors.

The past two years, I have be-

State of the Union Address. To
me, it always seemed like an
auspicio!Js way to usher irtthe
new year, with some hopeful
thoughts aboutwhat the com..:

was riot quite how.it played out.

Desert Storm.
This shows us two things: The
tirst is that this country must be
in really great shape for this not
to matter as much as everyone
seemed
to
hope that it would.
The other is that perhaps the
American people have finally
started to take Bill Clinton for
what he is worth.
Instead, .. this year, our
nation's status was dwarfed by
the question of how the Presi-
dent managed to soil the dress
of a former White House In-
tern with whom he had never
had any kind of improper rela-
tionship. The diffe_rences in im-
portance placed on these two

were enough to make an Italian

agd, · the most you
were likely to see of President
Clinton on the news was his
historic Buddy the Dog/ Socks
the Cat summit that was held
on the White House Lawn.
This was not onlythe prover-
bial calm before the storm, it
was a hews director's worst
nightmare.
In the weeks since then, the
tensions in Iraq have conve-
niently increased,just as a slew
of allegations against the presi-
dent have become as irrelevant
as nutrition information on a
bag of Pork Rinds. As a result,
TV News directors are torn be-
tween which graphic to use
more often: 4'CRISIS IN THE
WHITE HOUSE" or "SHOW-
DOWN IN IRAQ".
Of course, you do have to feel
bad for everyone associated
with the new film "Wag The
Dog" where a fictional presi-
dent creates a war to distract his
constituents from his sexual im-
proprieties. After all. why
should we go out and pay $8.50
for a two hour movie when we
can see the same story for free
on every news service known to
mankind?
The biggest question that
I
am
faced with in the wake of all this
discussion is "How does
Clinton do it?" Not the question
of how he manages to get the
most mentally unstable propo-
nents of second desserts to say
that he slept with them, but how
everything manages to slide off
of him.

Once one crosses the Mason-

happens. The inexplicable phe-

"southern

our southern brethren like peni-

of this is the word
"special".

Seagulls are some of the most
annoying birds on the earth.
Therefore, it is only natural that
they inhabit an area populated
by_some of the most annoying
people on earth, a college cam~
pus. It is likely there are close
to five hundred of these feath-
ereclJriends inhabiting the
Maris(qonege environs.
; ·While usuallYshunning bor-
ing areas such as the library and
Donnelly
computer lab,
seagulls are most likely to be
found in dumpsters, outside of
the student center, or frolicking
in or around the Hudson River.
Because of their enthusiasm for

the pittance life has granted
them, it is not surprising that the
seagull is the only creature glad
to be alive in the·Dutchess/Ul-
ster area.
As irritating as seagulls can
be, they are still lovable ani~
mals. All lovable animals en-
joy attention. Seagulls are no
exception. While seagulls hate
to be pet, touchedor even spo-
ken to, theyall love food. Once,
when walking to an eight
o'clock class in twenty-degree
weather, I heard the angry
squawking of a seagull. Upon
further inspection, I found the
gull was angry because there
was some trouble eating a plas-
tic Lifesaver bag. Rather than

so many Mari.st College inhab-

could not eat plastic.
What a pleasant change from
the usual sort of whining one is
usually exposed to at this time
of day.
A fun thing to do, that all
people (and seagulls) love, is to
feed seagulls bread. At first.the
birds are scared because things .
are being thrown at them. This
is a natural response because
people have done mean things
to them and their other bird
friends. However, once it

"We have an amazing student body; very good people," said Student Body
President; Frank Maduri. " I have made many good friends here."
As Student Body President, Maduri is the door between the students, faculty, and
administration. He is responsible for staying in touch with everything on campus. This
is so he can be aware of issues concerning the student body. To deal with.possible issues,
Maduri must innovate ideas for the improvement of student life.
"I am responsible to represent the student body," said Maduri.
From his time with Student.Government Association (SGA), Maduri said he
learned how to deal with set backs and adverse situations. More importantly, he has
learned.how fo over come the situations and move forward. In addition, Maduri said he
has recognized his role to the students and from this year alone, Maduri has learned stress
management. .
As a Political Science major with a minor in Public Relations, Maduri has no
plans of going to professional politics.
"I want to move to Boston and get an entry-level job in Public Relations," said
Maduri.
He eventually wants to get his masters in Public Administration and possibly
work as a lobbyist or as director of a non-profit agency. A future plan of his is to become
the president of a college.
Maduri chose Summer Session as his most memorable moment from Student
Government.
"It was the first time everyone was together and were able to talk candidly about
many things," said Maduri. " It brought humor to many issues."
Outside his many duties as president, Maduri is a member of the national Political
Science honors society, Pi Sigma Alpha. Since the end of his sophomore year, he has
been involved with the Strategic Planning Committee. In his spare time, Maduri spends
time with his girlfriend and his friends. He also writes poetry and enjoys reading books
about American presidents.
For the remainder of his administration, Maduri would like to finish the last of his
projects. Such plans include defining the role of the class officers and creating a plan of
transition for incoming officers. Maduri is also very excited about this year's Diversity
Day on Saturday, March 28.

The Student Government Association held its first annual Sum-
mit on Saturday, January 31. The day commenced with motiva-
tional speaker, Jack Chambers, who got everyone moving with
his "Jacktivitics".
Throughout the day, many issues were addressed. The up-
coming Diversity Day was one topic that got a lot of attention.
On March 28, Marist College will be celebrating Diversity Day.
This day is to raise awareness of diversity on campus and to
open people's minds on the .subject.
During the day there
will
be many fun and exciting activities.
Such will includeAse, an all female drumming circle from Af-
rica and the Islands, Irish dancing, and Dr. Luske will be dis-
cussing different religions. In addition, the Black Student Union,
Gaelic
Society, Italian-American Society, El Arco Latino, plus numer-
ous other clubs will be represented.
If you are interested in performing or would like more

the word to describe it. What
he did was unbelievably atro-

guard Latrell Sprewell had his
$32

lier this season for physically
attacking his head coach. Days
after the incident, Commis-
sioner David Stem announced
that Sprewell would be banned
from basketball until Decem-
ber
3,
1998.
It
is
the most severe
suspension in league history.
Last week, hearings
began to decide whether or not
the penalty was too severe.
Does Sprewell deserve to be
treated like drug offenders Roy
Tarpley and Richard Dumas,
the only other players to re
-
ceive year-long suspensions?
Or did Sprewell
simply
make
one bad decision, a decision
that does not warrant such a
lengthy absence from the
game?
If
the
situation is

lyzed

it is evident that the lat-

Nobody wants to have

_
:
They only want the good
and not the bad. Life does not
work that way.
.
For example, last yec1r
I was covering one
_
of the less
publicized sports on campus,
but I was taking it seriously
because it was a chance to show
what I could do. So I was
CO\'.-
ering games at the
_
McCann

tendance pretending it \Vas

I did not want
to write an article about how

how well they

when they had t,vo ,vins after
about
12
games.
So after a somewhat de-
rogat~ry article and an even
worse headline that I di9
_
not
write
.
I got a nasty phone call
from one of the players telling
me they_ did not _need to be ridi-
culed in their ciwn college news-
pape
'
r and that they deserved
.
a
little more respect.
.
· ·• . These

spo~ts -want the
acclaim that the football team
gets, but they do not

want
to
take al)y blame the way coach
Jim Parady and his players do.
It cannot be both

.
I would
_

there is enough space
fo
everone to
.
be happy. as you
probably can tell there is_ even
extra space this week. (Did ev-
eryone get an inernship this_ se-

One more thing while I
