Students who make dean's list
in the spring are not recognized .
with a.luncheon•in the fall. One
of the biggest factors is that the .

The senior class gift was
started by the graduating class
of 1997 in association with the
Office of College Advancement.
The Class of. 1997 officers
wanted to give back to the
school after they graduated, and
decided donating money to-
wards the new library would
carry the most meaning.
Jeff Schanz, director of alumni
affairs, said he feels alumni sup-
port is very important to the
growth of the college.
''All this couldn't be built with-
out alumni support," he said.
•• A big portion of the money to
build is from alumni."
Tracy Paurowski, class of 1998
treasurer, said she feels the gift·
is a great opportunity for stu-
dents to give back to M_arist ano
help it grow.
.
.
''The gift also bridges seniors
into alumni," she said.
Early last semester, the class
of 1998 officers met with Schanz
to discuss the options for an
effective gift this year. The of-
ficers decided to follow the Class
of 1997 in donating to the library.

The goal for the Class of 1998
is to collect $1,998.

Ralph Fiasco, class of 1998
secretary, said he feels the li-
brary is the best place to donate.
''They can definitely use it,"
he said. ''It's a good enough
amount to make a dent in costs
and [the amount] $1,998 is sig-
nificant also."

Special to The Circle
U.S. Nelv.~ and Wo,·ld Report
has named Marist to be among
the best buys in college educa-
tion for the past few years.
Marist is continuing this tradi-
tion by reducing the tuition for
summer courses in 1998.
The price per credit has been
reduced from $352 to $290, an
18 percent decrease from last
year. For students taking be-
tween one and 11 credit hours,
the average three-credit class
will cost less than $900.
H. Griffin Walling, dean of
Graduate and Continuing Edu-
cation was instrumental in
implementing the cost reduc-
tion. He said he felt it \Vould be
beneficial to students.
''It'll provide an incentive for
students who want to acceler-
ate in their degree programs at
significantly reduced tuition
rate as compared to what would
be charged· over the academic
year," Walling said.
In addition to the fee reduc-
tion, stµdents will no longer be
required to pay a one-third de-
posit to reserve a spot. Instead, .
they wi!) 9nly have to pay a $20
fee at the time of registration and
pay the· additional costs over
time.
· ·· · · · · ·
· ·
Students se~_med pleased with
these ·changes.
Roni Brasen ajuniorcommu-
nications major, said she is glad
about the decision.
''I'm thinking about taking a
summer class, but am not sure
I'll have the funds to do so,"
she said. ''Any cut in cost will
make it a little easier on me."
Some changes in the schedul-
ing of summer classes were also
made to accommodate the need
of students. There \viii now be
· two, three-week mini sessions
•
offered which will run from right
after graduation until the end of
June.· Students will be able to .
. complete two courses by June
.
.
26, freeing .up the rest of the
summer to work.
.·. Holly Giammarella, a senior
commu'nications major, took_ a.
summer class last year, and said
the changes are \velcomed.
· · ''Last year my classes ran so
late into the summer that I had
to schedule my job around my
classes, which was sometimes
difficult," she said. ''At least
now, students can have t\VO full
months of the summer to get a
normal full-time job."
Since the Office of graduate
and Continuing Education
sponsor summer classes, the
tuition reduction will be avail-
able to current undergraduate
-
students as \veil as adult edu-
·cation students.

- Ahh, Spring Break. Just writing those t,,,o ,vords. and a sense of peace a11d relax-
ation begin to flood over me. No school, no· teachers. no papers ...
Wait, wait a minute! I always thought that Spring Break 111eant no hon1e,,•ork and no
papers, but every year here at Marist, I have been proven ,vrong.
This year, over my Spring Break \vhere I get to go hon1e and ,vork because I have
no money (I am not bitter, I s,vear), I also have to ,,,rite a
IO
page paper, read two
novels and an analytical film book. Needless to say, this does not sound like a break·
tome.
.
.
Granted, I am a senior and I take senior-level classes, but I am con1pletely burnt out.
I need Spring Break. I need to not have any responsibility, or I fear that I might have -
a nervous breakdown and pull out a shotgun and shoot all my·teachers.
I mean, what do these teachers think when they assign a· 10 page paper for the
Tuesday after spring Break? I can bet that none of them wilfbe doing anything that
has to do with classes over their break. Will they have all of our midte11ns graded the
day we get back from break? I wonder...
.
.
'
I cannot remember a break where I have not had any work to do, except winter
break. Over the past summer I interned, so I did not get a break then; either.
Now, I do not want this to sound like a whiney column, but I wish there had been
one break where I did not have to ,vorry about ,vriting a paper, or reading a novel, or
studying for a test.
_
Teachers wonder why students do not get every single assignment done, could _it
be because we actually might have a life outside school, and might not want to work
on their assignments ALL the time?
I think this is a valid point. I know we are here to learn as much as possible, but I
also think we need a break from that wonderful education process every once and a
while. Spring Break is supposed to be that release (picture MTV down in Cancun). It
is meant to be a time when all of the stress at school is not supposed to be knocking
around in our heads.
I know there is no saving my Spring Break, it is destined to be horrible because for
the first time I am not going away (I said I was not bitter!) and I have homework. I
cannot even be miserable because I am stuck in Westchester County instead of on
a beach somewhere. I get
io
do homework, as well!
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great Spring Break, and as you sit on the beach,
sipping a tropical drink, remember not to spill any on your laptop!

I read your editorial piece in
Tlie Circle.
Thanks for the plug and the promotion
(I'll get my doctorate in May). -I also enjoyed our Ethics class and, after reading your.
editorial, I wanted to share with you a few words concerning my thoughts on the
Marist College core.
_ .
I begin by saying that.I can't speak to your particular experiences in the classes
that met to your dissatisfaction. However, I can say that one of.the ideas of the core,
and that of a Marist liberal arts education, is to introduce students to subjects that
they may know little about, or ones that they even may disdain. The liberal arts -

education seeks.to_teach .to the whole person, and Marist b~lieves that the learning

people have come to associate
with Christmi1s. Christmas is,
sadly, about giving presents.
And I think that at this stage in
life, the presents are not going
to get much better. When we
were young Christmas was the .

wrapping paper in mountain

present. Let me repeat that, one
present. Despite the great food
and the one present, Christmas
(or any ot· the other mentioned
holidays) cannot compare to St.
Patrick's Day because of one all- -
important aspect: personality.
St. Patrick's Day represents
many different things: Saint
Patrick, leprecfi~uns, green beer,
-parades, green rivers, four-

beautiful green wome11 (Well, i1t
least that is what you will prob-
ably think you see.). But the
reason St. Patrick's Day is the
best holiday is because the par-
ties that go on during the ·day
· and night e1nanate a certain per-
sonality. This personality C!ln
be most simply described as the
Irisl1 persona. Everyone is the
happy village drunk t·or a _day.
Whether the person is so drunk
they ca11 barely utter ''un ore
ound, cleeze'' or whetl1er the
person is just casually drinking,
they have the same attitude to-
wards life. This attitude is that
for one day, one short twenty-
four hour period. we are all Irish.
We are all happy. And usually
we are all drunk.
But even without the booze
(orat least with a little less ofit)
the companionship displayed
between men and women ot· all
different backgrounds is with-
out comparison. There may be
ten thousand twelve-yei1r-old
kids drinking forties on the side
of the New York City parade, but
at least they are not fighting.

If all students were· guarari-
. teed a formal explanation of the
structure and function of the
Core/LS Program, their appre-
ciation of a liberal arts experi-
ence would'be greatly en-
hanced.
I do believe, however, that we
should go one step further. I
hear from students that the Core
· needs to be made more relevant
to their lives. They want to
-know how these required
courses and related experiences
are beneficial to them right now
and will be in the future.
As faculty, we claim that a lib-
eral arts education can help im-
prove the quality of life for all
those who are open to its po-
tential. Students,are asking for
evidence, or at least examples,
how this is true.
How do philosophy, literature,
history, science, fine arts, math,
religion, etc. (especially as they
are integrated in the Marist
Core) help students to think
more logically, reason critically,
problem solve better, relate
meaningfully to others, refine
their sensors, achieve their
goals, increase their happiness,
''follow their bliss," improve
their financial status, enhance
their self-esteem, etc.?
--
-
These seem to be reasonable
questions, and answering them
explicitly would go a long way
_ toward making the liberal arts
come alive.
Therefore, in response to stu-
dents' concerns, that each
course in the Core address the
issue of relevance in a straight
forward manner.
·
A discussion on how the
course can improve the quality
of life for students today, as well
as tomorrow, would help them
see ''what's in it for me," and
thereby be motivated to engage
the liberal arts with fervor.
I know it can be argued that
making learning objectives so
concrete and explicit can take
the romance out of the liberal
arts, and thereby trivialize them.
But sincerely doubt that this will
be the perception of most stu-
dents. On the other hand, a little
less mystery when it comes to
the value of a liberal arts educa-
tion may provide students \vith
a little more incentive to regis-
ter for liberal arts courses.
I would welcome reactions to
these observations and propos-
als from anyone, but especially
from students. Please \Vrite me

end, Pierce saves. the day and
gets Linda as his new love and
everyone is happy. · Except the
audience.
· ··The other ·volcano movie was
cleverly titled Volca110 and
starrecl Tommy Lee Jones and
Ellen's girlfriend. This movie was
particularly interesting because
there was actually no volcano.
Generally when one titles a movie
Volca,10,
the audience might ex-
pect something like, say, a vol-
cano.
But no, in one of
Hollywood's particularly creative
moments, they decided to make
the lava ooze· out of the ground
and somehow manage to kill lots
of people. Between Jones and
Ellen's girlfriend they save tl1e
day, but Los Angeles (that is
right, it is set i11 L.A.) will never
be the same.
This was the second runner-up
in the worst Pay-Per View movie
of the year. Getting back to the
idea of sequels, one movie which
. was not supposed to be a sequel
seemed an awful lot like one.
This, of course, was the movie
Co,z Ai,;
with Nicolas Cage, John
Cusack, John Malcovich, Ying
Rhames, and the guy who played
Bubba in Forest
G11111p
who no
longer looks anything like Bubba.
With a cast like this you would
think that the movie could be at
least somewhat entertaining. But
let me first explain that this is not
· a sequel in te1 ins of plot but a
sequel in terms of stupidity. The
premise behind this movie is that
a decorated-ranger (Cage) is
thrown in jail for defending him-
self and his wife outside of a bar.
As the Parliamentarian for Student Government, Colleen McCulloch has many responsibilities. Her
ain job is to uphold methods of procedure in meetings. She advises Student Body President Frank
. aduri on issues concerning constitutionality and procedure. McCulloch is also responsible for
ducating all Student Government members on procedure methods.
.
''Procedure is only to make sure all meetings run smoothly. Cooperation
efinitely makes the meetings go by much faster," said McCulloch.
. From her work with Student Government, McCulloch has learned to never give
p on things.
.
''If an idea does not work one way, try it again. You have to be willing to
ork with everyone and be willing to compromise," s~id McCulloch.
McCulloch said that her most memorable moment from Student Government was
ummer Session. During Summer Session, the Maduri Administration met to discuss
ssues for the coming academic year.
·
''That weekend was amazing. We were able to fo1111 relationships that have lasted through the
ear," said McCulloch.
. .
McCulloch was recently elected the new Student Body President for the 1998-1999 academic year.
he wants her administration to be very productive.
''I want to lead Student Government into exploring new options. I also want to promote more SGA
ctivities for the students," said McCulloch.
· After graduation, McCulloch would like to work in Political· Communica_tions. She would like to
pecialize in doing Public Relations for a Senator.
McCulloch's favorite aspect of Marist College is her friends.
''l
have very supportive friends," said McCulloch.
In addition to her duties in Student Government, McCulloch is involved in other
ctivities both on campus and off. She is the manager for the Women's Swim Team,
elps out at the Marist Institute for Public Opinion
(MIPO)
and. McCulloch also enjoys
kiing, collecting anything Disney, and driving in her VW Rabbit. McCulloch is also
oing to Georgia with close friends this Spring Break.
After serving somewhere be-
tween seven a11d ten years Cage
is set to fly home on a plane. The
only problem (aside fro111 the
movie) is that this plane is filled
with the worst criminals in the
world and they take over tl1e .
plane and all hack breaks loose.
(Get it, hack, poor one-liners)
The winner of the worst movie
of the year goes to
A11ac.·<111d(1,
starring ... oh well, who cares who
it starred, it was terrible. There
was a huge, huge, snake, not tl1at
these snakes do not exist, but the
famed special effects tl1at were
supposed to make this movie so
great were exactly what made it
so bad. At one point the snake

.
The movie was so bad I have ru11
out 01·1egiti111ate adjectives to de-
scribe it.
The moral ot· this article is to
watch out what you buy. You
might think
C<111tac.·t
is supposed
to be the best movie of the year
but in the words of Mr. Garrison:
''I waited through that v.•hole
movie to see a11 alien and it was
her God-d***ed father."

This week, SGA is proud to present Phi Kappa Sign1a as the ne"
fraternity on campus. Student Body President, Frank Maduri called ·
joint meeting last Thursday to meet with the Fraternity. Their charte
was passed and their BI-laws were accepted .
Tl1ere was a unanimous vote from the E-Board and the Senate had onl)
two votes against .
''We are very happy to have a fraternity involved with Marist. Wear
hoping this will revitalize Greek life (especially male) on campus," sai
Maduri.
Maduri also went on to explain the SGA stance on clubs,
''If you work hard enough for your charter, you will get it," said Maduri
S.GA also passed the MADJET Disciplinary Doctrine for Club Affairs
This will be the guideline for club sanctioning. co-authored by Christo
pher Jette, VP for Club Affairs and Maduri.
''We think this document is easier to understand than the Matrix form
-
It's more thorough," said Maduri.
.
Another major accomplishment has been the rewriting and passing o
the new Student Government Constitution. Senator Charles Leone, wh
was helped by Senate Speaker Kevin Lundy and Mark Urciolo, tackle
this huge undertaking. The new Constitution passed unanimous in bot
the Executive Board and the Senate.
''This was a big accomplishment that is going to help us function bette
so we can serve the students better," said Maduri.
.
This project took five months and a number of Bills for Senator Leon
and his committee to complete.
_
''When I started working on the Constitution there were many craters
Xt's not a perfect document, but right now, it's as close to perfect as it'.
ever been," said L\!one.
Since the Constitution has been finished, Leone reflects on the har
work he and his committee have accomplished.
''We fought through a lot of opposition and through our \vork we gavethe
a document that passed unanimously in both boards. So far it has seen n
opposition from the Judicial Board. I guess my committee did O.K.," sai
Leone.
Best of luck to everyone on Midtenns and have a great Spring Break!

Marist's first winter sports
season completely in the _Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference is
coming to a close, leaving only
the·spring teams left to compete
with the big boys and girls of
the MAAC. Believe it or not,
the Marist programs are doing
- more than just holding their
own.
The MAAC has a nifty little
ratings system that hands out
points to schools based on
their final standings in a par-
ticular sport. For example, if
there are
IO
teams in a sport and
Marist comes in first, they get
10 points. The team in second
would get nine points and so
on, with the team in last getting
· one point. This happens in e,,_
ery sport, and then the MAAC
takes the cumulati,,e points to
fonn the Commissioner's Cup
Standings.
No extra points for the size of
the sport or attention it re-
-ceives. Making it to the NCAA
College Basketball Touman1ent
_ is worth the same amount ot·
points as winning the MAAC ·
Golf Championship.
One problem with the system
· is that not all the schools have
all the sports, such as Marist
and golf, so the school gets no
· points for that specific sport.

· The third time definitely was

session, the Red _Foxes would
never get within ten points of
not the charm. . .
. The Marist women's basket-
ball team faced Rider in their first
ever MAAC Tournament game
-back on February 25. While the
'
'
tournament was a new experi-
ence, being matched up with the
Broncs was not;
Like Marist, Rider came· from
the North East Conference last
season. So in addition to hav-
ing played them twice this year,
the Foxes knew them very well
from years past. But, this famil-
iarity with the opponent did little
to effect the outcome, as Marist
fell 75-56, thus bringing an end
to a 5-22 season.
In what has been a recurring
theme all season long, Marist
dug themselves. a hole right
-away. Five Red Fox turnovers
in the first four minutes led to a
15-4 Bronc advantage. Patrika
Smith· took control· for Rider
early, as she contributed eight
. of those IS.points. · ·.
A S~brina Vallery lay-up at the
12:30 mark brought Marist .
within seven, but Smith an-
swered with a deuce of her own.
Rider woul~ .'the~ go up 30-18

It was a 38-25 ballgame at the
break. In the second, Rider wid-

19, the total they eventually
won by.
Smith led all scorers with 28.
For Marist, Vallery poured

and Cortney Blore chipped in
with 14.
Not only did this game mark
the conclusion of the first sea-
son in a new conference, but it
also brough_t about an end to
the Marist coaching career of
Ken Babineau. · Babineau re-
signed back on Febraury 20 af-
