SECURITY BRIEFS
Friday, February 20, 9:50 p.m. - Security no-
ticed that a screen to one of the windows of a
Gartland E apartment had been tampered with.
When they went to the door to make the mem-
, bers of the house aware that someone may
have tried to break in. they walked into what
was an unauthorized party of 25 to 30 people.
According to security, people started running
out of the doors and windows when they ar-
rived at
the
door. However; one of the mem-
bers of the house says that this wasn't so, and
that the party nor security's presence was not
a big deal.
Saturday, February 21, I :30 a.m. - A male stu-
dent was walking in, the City of Poughkeepsie
waiting for a cab, when an unauthorized ve-
hicle pulled up to_ him and a passenger asked
him if he wanted a.ride; One guy said he had a
· gun 'arid demanded the victim get in the car.
They drove around for a while, and before drop-
~ping him off they took his watch ano cash
totaling $!00. The victim reported the inci-
dent to his RD the next day. and was then
interviewed and transported to the City of
Poughkeepsie Police Dept. where they- are now
handling the case. In reference to any situa-
tion involving a strange car Joe Leary, head of
security states, "Don't get in the car no matter
what the circumstance. What do you do? Run!"
Monday, February 23, 12:00 a.m. - A patrol
responded to a complaint that a window had
broke in Marion Hall. While moving around
the outside of the building he found a metal
grape off of a drain hole, and two stone tops to
benches tossed aside. Security covered the drain
back up and took care of the stone tops. •·some

around campus directly con-

Each of these phones has a
distinct blue light above it mak-
ing it easy to see by any one in

Food Dude finds true meaning of St.Patrick's Day
TOMNARDI
Food Dude
Saint Patrick's day is a holi-
day I do not understand (maybe
that is because I am ItaHan.)
Maybe that is because I do not
know what is being celebrated.
Saint Patrick ... what exactly did
he do? Was he the one who
drove the snakes out of Ire-
land? Or was that the Pied
Piper? Or are they one in the
same? I decided I should go to
Smalley's to try and find out
who St. Patrick really was.
Smalley's is located on Route
55, ·near the outskirts of the
town of Poughkeepise. The bar
is very hard to miss since it
looks like a castle. Another land-
mark is the large knight on the
roof.
The inside of Smalley's also
resembles an ancient castle.
Coats of arms adorn the stone
walls. One really gets the feel~
ing of being in the movie
Braveheart. When I was there,
I kept waitiQg for a sword wield-
ing Mel Gibson to show up.
Their menu is fairly extensive.
They have a couple of sand-
wiches that sound very good.
The T-N-T burger ($6.50)
is
· topped with onions and mush-
·rooms. The Town Mess ($6.75)
is ham and Swiss on garlic
bread. The Smalley's Mess
($7 .50) is roast beef and melted
Swiss on garlic bread. The rea-
son they call them "Mess" is
because the meat is piled high
on top of a large wedge of bread.
The sandwiches are too unman-
ageable to pick up with your
hands. A knife and fork are defi-
nitely helpful. One complaint
about the sandwiches is that
french fries do not come with
the meal. If you want them you
have to pay an extra $1.75. This
brings the price of the sand-
wiches up to nearly $10, which
is too much for most college stu-
dents.
In addition to sandwiches,
they have many other items in-
cluding a few vegetarian dishes:
vegetable lasagna ($6.95),
ravioli ($7.25}', and manicotti
($7.25). They also have some
items which are definitely not
vegetarian, including shrimp
scampi ($18), surf and turf ($22)
and Pasta Dorro ($14.50) which
is scallops, shrimp, and
crabmeat in a garlic wine sauce.
For those who are daring you
can order frog legs ($11.25)
sauteed in an onion wine sauce
with cheese, served over spin-
ach. Most of the items are priced
on the high side, especially
since Smalley's is more of a bar
than it is a restaurant.
I was going to start my meal
off with ail appetizer, but there
was nothing on the menu that
sounded interesting, just the
same old wings, stuffed mush-
rooms and fried mozzarella that
you can get anywhere.
For my meal I chose the egg-
plant parrn wedge.
It
was so thick
with eggplant and cheese that I
was glad I skipped the appetizer.
The bread was covered in but-
ter, was greasy and was
Volunteer community service
program lends helping hand
JENMATARAZW
Staff Writer
The Spirit of Champagnat is
alive on campus through the
Volunteer Community Service
Program.
.
F,~th_er ~hampagnat, the
founder of, the Mari~t. brothers,
always saw the real needs of
people. He said if there was a
neeµ, .society should respond.
Stud;nt; ofMarist College have
the opportun.ity to·f~ilow Father
Champagnat's tradition, partici-
pating in community service.
Brother Michael Williams, the
assistant director of Campus
, Ministry, said he believes
people should not be afraid to
get their hands dirty.
"Father Chanipagnat's spirit is
look to th~se · who are
marginalized and you take care
of them," he said. "Because that
is what Jesus came to do."
The Volunteer Community
Service Program falls under the
same umbrella as Campus Min-
istry, but is a separate program.
There are many outlets that are
available to meet the requests
of the students who would like
to participate, within the com-
munity. Some of these outlets
range from working within the
public and private grammar
schools, working in a nursing
home, one-on-one tutoring,
BOCES-special needs, Astor
Head Start (3 to 5-year-olds), St.
Francis_ Hospital, and daycare
centers:
John Sellinger, senior psychol-
ogy major and an administrator
on the community service
board. worked in one of the
public grammar schools, and
said he has had only positive
experiences.
"I come from a rural town and
this gave me the opportunity to
work in an inner-city school,"
he said.
Jessica DeCicco, sophomore
psychology special education
major, also volunteered in a
public grammar school. She
worked with second graders and
said she feels it is an asset for
her career.
"I wanted to experience work-
ing with children because I plan
to be a teacher in the future,"
she said.
-DeCicco said that it is nice to
· get off campus once in a while.
"Just giving two hours of your
time, one day a week, really
makes a difference to the kids,"
she said. "You can see it."
Kathryn Haberman, sopho-
more psychology special edu-
cation major, went for the first
time last week to a school.
"I was nervous at first, but the
kids made me
feel
welcome,"
Haberman said.
According to Brother
Michael, students who cannot
volunteer once a week may par-
ticipate in special one-day
events.
"This applies to students with
busy schedules," Brother
Michael said. "Special one-day
events can involve students
to
give up a few hours of their time
on a certain day when help is
needed."
Another event that falls un-
der Campus Ministry, are the
city plunges. They are held on
weekends around Christmas
and Spring Break. Student<; will
travel to towns or cities that are
in need of help.
Vanessa Tamarra, sophomore
social work major, had the op-
portunity to attend one of the
city plunges, and said she would
do it again in a second.
"It was one of the mosteye-
opening experiences of my life,"
she said.
"I experienced
homelessness for the first time
and I felt good knowing that I
was helping those in need."
Sellinger said they are always
looking for more help.
"There are always openings,"
he said.
The major times to sign-up for
community service are at the
activities fair at the beginning
of each semester. Brother
Michael said he accepts appli-
cants at all times, though.
"If
people would like to get
involved, call extension 2275,"
he said. "We have a wide vari-
ety of outlets to suit people's
needs."
Brother Michael said priority
points are given out based on
attendance.
"Priority points are given out
to recognize the work the stu-
dents have done," he said.
Sellinger said he encourages
students to get involved.
"It is a chance to get away
from school work and do some
service to the community," he
said. "Once you give it a
chance, you'll realize it is defi-
nitely for you."
Brother Michael said he feels
a great majority of the campus
is generously hearted.
"If
you work with the elderly,
you will discover you have an-
other set of grandparents," he
said. "You work with children,
be careful, because they may
steal your heart."'
sprinkled with too much garlic
salt. Other than that, the sand-
wich was pretty good. The
sauce was zesty and sweet.
The sandwich sat in my stom-
ach like lead so I avoided des-
sert (In retrospect it is probably
better not to order Italian food
in an Irish bar.)
If
you are not going to order
the food at Smalley·s what
should you order'? In an Irish
bar ... Guinness, of course ..
Guinness is a rich, creamy dark
beer, almost like a milkshake for
adults. Most people assume
that dark beers have more alco-
hol than regular beers, however,
this is not always true. In fact.
Draught Guinness (the stuff
you get on tap) is only 3.4 per-
cent alcohol. A pint of Guinness
has
IO
less calories than a pint
of orange juice (210 as opposed
to 220.) Guinness is also high
in iron, which is why doctors in
England used to give it to pa-
tients who had lost a lot of
blood.
Drinking a Guinness among
friends is a great' way to bond.
On Friday Feb. 27 Guinness is
sponsoring what they hope will
. be the world's largest simulta-
neous toast in bars across North
America, a pint of Guinness will
be raised at the same moment
(about 11 :00 p.m. in our time
zone.) Smalley"s will join in the
festivities with $2 pints and a T-
shirt give-away.
Overall, I would give Smalley·s
two-and-a-half stars. The food
was okay; service was quick (al-
though I was the only person in
the dining room.) When it
comes to the atmosphere it gets
at least four stars.
It
is one of
those places you must go to
once in your Marist career. But
go forthe medieval environment
and the Guinness, not the food.

reek Council plans for long road ahead
As the Spring semester takes off, it becomes more difficult fo,
tudents to concentrate on their work ahead. Soon. the weathe,
ill begin to change and nature will be-reborn. Everyone starts t<
ove outside to enjoy the warm weather, while homework an
apers are put on the back burner. However, some how or som
ay, students always seem to get their work done. The Greek Coun
ii is in the midsts of a rebirth of their own.
With the new semester taking shape, the Greek Council has al
eady begun planning events for the student body to take part in
ewly elected president Summer Haverly, of Alpha Sigma Tau, ha.
·et the wheels in motion to have the Greek Council become a mor
ecognized group on campus. "The Greek Council wants to mak
tudents aware of who we are and what it is we do here on cam
us," said Haverly. "By doing this, we will have a better chance a
rying to recruit new members."
Currently, the Greek Council is made up of five sororities: Sigm,
igma Sigma, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Sigma Tau, Kappa Lamd,
si and Sigma Iota Alpha; as well as three fraternities: Alpha Ph
elta, Phi Iota Alpha and the newest fraternity on campus, Ph
appa Sigma. It is hoped that these fine organizations, awarenes.
fthe Greek Council and Greek life on campus will become a mor

One of the major events which the council is planning for thi.
·emester is a scholarship luncheon for the outstanding academi
ecords acheived by members of Greek organizations. The date
fo
his luncheon is March 4, 1998 and will be held in the Cabaret.
The guest list for the event will be comprised of the members o
he Greek Council, the students receiving the honors, faculty an
-taff members invited by the organizations, as well as a possibl
ppearance by Dennis Murray. In addition, the Council has askec
·ome of the Academic Deans to speak at the luncheon.
All in all, it plans to be a fine example for the fraternities an

·drivers ~ause .greatconcein
Finishing my third year of school _here at Marist, I cari recoimtffiaily shadr°inci-
dents-involving taxicabs in Poughkeepsie. The stories are nothing new; as I am sure
everyone has a story to tell. Looking back on the years.I did not realize how naive
I was in believing ~hat the taxicabs were
a
relatively safe means of transportation.
My naivete was l)Ot°that I thought the drivers were good drivers, but it was because
I thought that 'the 'drivers were actually licensed, monitored, and regulated ..
My assumptions were quickly disproved in the beginning of the school year when
I heard the news of Tina Ball, the
17
year-old City of Poughkeepsie girl, who was
killed in an accident involving
a
taxicab in the beginning of the school year. After
the investigation of the accident, the driver of the cab was discovered to be operat-
ing under a suspended license. Neither the taxi company nor the Poughkeepsie
Police Department had any knowledge of this fact until after it was too late. Unfor-
tunately, this tragic accident exposed an extremely appalling problem in the city of
Poughkeepsie's regulations placed on taxicab owners and operators.
Although the city does not own and operate the taxicabs, it is the duty of the city
to regulate the companies that operate the cabs. It has to be the responsibility of city
officials to enact comprehensive regulation that would ensure a safer system upon
which many people depend upon daily. Taxis have to be held up to the highest
scrutiny in order to guarantee a protection for the general public. The facts sur-
rounding this accident have proved that the city has low, unacceptable procedures
in regulating taxicab operators and owners.
The requirements for a taxi driver license, in the City of Poughkeepsie is a New
York State
Class E (chauffeur's) license. Furthermore, the city requires the applicant to fill out
a form, provide a picture and give fingerprints, to be kept on record. The City.then
issues a one-year license to the driver.
So far, it would seem that the ordinances are adequate enough, but this is where the
effectiveness of the city's regulation ends.

If
i
could have had a say in my choice of <::ore classes, I would have gladly
taken more History, Philosophy, Ethics and of course, English classes.I would
have omitted completely theMath, Science and SocialSciences.There is no
need at an in my life to know about those animal tests, or to take an Intro to
Biology class that I had already taken in high sch_ool. Instead of taking those
classes and wasting my time, I could have been taking classes that would
relate to my life, or that I at least found interesting. I am paying for these
classes, after all.
I will say one thing in defense of the Core-I might not have taken Ethics,
which was one of the best classes I have taken here. I honestly feel it made me
really think about who and what I am and where my values are (a shameless
plug for Dr. Ellard's class). I only wish that all the other Core classes I took
affected me that much.
All in all, I think the Cpre is, as I said before, good in concept, yet poor 1n
practice.
If
students could have more say in the classes they took, there might
be less of the Mari st malaise. Imagine a class where everyone actually wanted
to be there, and cared about the subject. Unfortunately, a Core class is gener-
ally not where this is found.

Public relations are essenti~I.
If
something is not presented
correctly, its acceptance is
greatly diminished. Imagine a
pill that cured cancer came out,
but the package said that it
"May cause you to have a huge
ass". People would still take it,
but, they would be happier if it
said "now with flavor crystals".
Today, public relations have
gone crazy. Consider President
Clinton's popularity

At the same time
,
there have
been protesters at a number of
events where members of the
President's cabinet have spo-
ken in favor of taking military
actions against Iraq_ And I
thought this was a country that
liked to fight wars over oil.
Now, we have renewed con-
cerns regarding anthrax, the
hazardous chemical that is fun
anywhere that vomiting blood
and severe diarrhea are party
favors
.
Most troubling is that
anyone would use anthrax,
when an Arby's roast beef
sandwich would more than do
the trick.
Three men in Las Vegas were
found to possess military
grade anthrax (the good stuff,
like you get on the streets). But,
the case seemed to take a good
tum, as the three hillbillies with
bio-chemical weapons in the
trunk of their pickup truck were
conducting legitimate tests.
Not
_
surprising\y, anthrax is
·now more
.
popular than ever.
As an unexpected bonus, the
forgotten heavy metal group of
the same name has experienced
a surge in popularity. A mem-
ber of the band says that he
has never been happier to be
associated with a known con-
taminant. Except for his affair
with Pamela Anderson.
·
Speaking of whom, her hus-
band rommy Lee, who
is
part
of something called Motley
Crue, was seen at the Center
for
Disease Control in Atlanta.
In addition
to
the weekly purge
of his bloodstream, he was pe-
titioning tci have deadly toxin
after HIS band, with the hope
that this would make people
stop laughing at them long
enough to notice that they are
still around.
While anthrax's popularity is
on the rise, the Queen of En-
gland has had to hire a spin
doctor
.
This is not to say that
she hired some worthless pop
band packaged by their record
company to ride on the coat
tails of real musicians.
Instead, Queen Elizabeth has
hired a media consultant in or-
der to improve her public im-
age. Things are bad when your
face is on the money, and yet
people still do not like you.
According to a Times of
um-
don
survey, many Britons feel
the Royals are om of touch
with the people. They are also
viewed as wasteful, and a poor
value, especially when you
consider how inexpensive dic-
tators are these days.
The Queen's new director of
communications, who stands
to earn upwards of $240,000 a
year
,
has already suggested
that Queen Elizabeth buy her-
self a new dog
,
threaten to
bomb the hell out of Iraq, and
have an affair with a
Buckingham Palace intern.
But, it does not stop there for
the royal family. Things are so
bad that they had what was es-
sentially a yard sale over the
weekend. Sure, all of the pro-
ceeds did go to a charity for
Princess Diana
,

probably a public relations
stunt in and of itsett

The definition of "roadtrip"
varies from person to person.
For some it is a 3-hour drive to a
concert, for others it is
a
month
long journey to far away places.
One of the best aspects of road
trips are the tourist traps that
line the backroads in otherwise
isolated locations. Anyone who
has ever driven down south
knows what I mean; those
"South
of the Border" signs
start
I
13 miles ( or something
like that) away and announce
that you are only 84 miles away
from this wonderful, magical,
land of sombreros and neon
lights. When you actually get
to South of Border, it is kind of a
disappointment.
I
am not going
to ruin the surprise for those of
you who haye never been there,
but
I
will say if they t!Verbuilt a
casino out of styro-foam and put
a billion strings of Christmas
lights on it, you would have
South of the Border. I think all
they sell is South of the Border
bumper stickers. But
I
digress.
The roadtrip is an AII-Ameri~
can phenomenon, wherein a
group of filthy young people get
to experience the freedom of the
roads and break down in a far
away state. Along the way, you
get to absorb the local color of
where ever yot• may be. Some
of my favorite local attractions
are:
*Santa's
Village in Vermont
*
The World Famous Boot and·

*Wayne's Hair in Virginia
.
*
Amar's Exotic Dancers and
Bowling Alley Supreme in
West Virginia
*
The Enchanted Mitten in
Massachusetts
These are all real places!
These exciting and wonderful
locations off er an oasis of es-
cape from the tireless hours of
driving. I am sure there are
much better and exotic tourist
traps out there. Perhaps on my
spring break I
will
come across

the jeers emanating from the

for anything that even remotely

nearly barreling over several in-

a
man. A man with no

man that should not be allowed
within 200 feet of a dance floor,
but never the less, a man with a
message.
