develop an identity for oneself
and have that self-worth," he
said. "You should be able to
love yourself."
Sullivan, who teaches Mar-
riage and Family, said self-de-
velopment can occur within
family relationships.
"Somebody
might say 'well
I
.
don't even have a relationship
with anybody that's serious, so
·
I'm looking
IO
years down the
line' and
I
think that's a mistake
because we're talking about
things like self-esteem and com-
mitment and unconditional love
and these are practiced and de-
veloped in ourown families," he
said.
"I
don't have to wait
IO
.
years in terms of discussing
these issues in a relationship
with a spouse because I'm in a
relationship with my parents and
siblings."
Sullivan said it is important to
develop family relationships
before having an intim
·
ate rela-
tionship.
·
"I
think it's a matter of imma-
turity or impatience or just a Jack
of emotional balance when
people set aside those relation-
ships, but they look to the
fu-
ture and it's going to be magi~."
he said. "' I'm going to get
along so well with my spouse,
I
can't stand my family, they
don't understand me and
I
don't understand them' they
might think."
Different types of relation-
ships offer different types of
love, according to Sullivan.
"I
think we have a way of lov-
ing and relating to our parents,
to our family members, to our
grandparents," he said. "We
may even have a special best
friend kind oflove."
Sullivan said there are three
important factors in developing
a relationship.
"The first and most important
[factor] is communication " he
sai
_
d. "The second is probably
more important than the most
important, and that's communi-
cation. And the third is prob-
ably the most important of the
other two most important and
that's communication."
Sullivan said communication
results in understanding.
"It's
with communication that
we establish the relationship
with another," he said. "Unless
we are mutually understanding
one another then there can be
no intimacy."
Nadine Simon.junior who will
be celebrating her 2-year anni-
versary on Valentine's Day, said
communication plays an impor-
tant role in her relationship ,vith
her boyfriend.
"Without
communication, a
relationship just falls apart,"
she
said
.
"S?metimes you might say
something and the other person
thinks it means something else
and then you have to talk to that
person and then it all works out
eventually."
Honesty, Sullivan said, is also
important in
a
relationship.
"'I
have to be transparent.
They have to see me as
I
am,"'
he said.
"A
lot of people's rela-
tionships don't go where they
could because they think the
person they pretend to be is
better than who they are."
Sullivan said if people are hon-
est with themselves, he thinks
then they will be capable of hav-
ing a serious relationship.
"I'm very concerned about
people who talk about their in-
abi
I
ity to love or they
'
ll talk
about someone else's inability
and that's a mistake," he said.
"I
think we have to realistically
assess our disabilities and real-
ize that
'I
do have a capability
and these are the changes
I
have to make to be more lov-
able.'"
He said love is taking a chance
in life.
"I think it's
a
balance of head
and heart. I think clearly the re-
lationship needs to make
sense
to the person and that they have
a significant
experience
of feel-
ing love for the other, and they
believe in the relationship" he
said.
"There's
something about
it that makes them know, but it's
never to dismiss the fact it's a
decision one needs to make, one
needs to decide to be in love,
and in
.
that sense it's a risk and
anything can happen depend
-
ing on how people take
care
of
love."
Sullivan said ultimately each
person should come up with his
or her own definition oflove.
"Everybody has to come up
with his or her own definition.
I
think it's something that has to
be done thoughtfully and one
has to be in touch with one's
values," he said.
"And
people
may not all define love exactly
as somebody else might, but the
main thing is that the two people
saying
I
Jove you to each other
ought to have a clear under-
standing of each others' defini-
tions."

Food Dude offers Valentine's advice and romantic eatery
TOMNARDI
Food Dude
It
is that time of year again.
Cupid is running around. Con-
gratulations to all those who
·
have beei:i struck
.
by Cupid's
arrow. For those of you who
are single,
I
would liketo apol<>-
gize, for this week's column is
geared towards those with sig-
nificant others. This week my
only food recommendation for
those who are single is to in-
dulge in large quantities of foe
cream and bourbon.
Woinen always complain that
their boyfriends are not roman-
tic enough. So guys,
I
am go-
ing to start off by giving you a
couple of ways to be more ro-
mantic on Valentine's Day. La-
dies please skip ahead to the
section entitled "Dinner for
Two."·
Okay guys, the most important
thing is keeping your girlfriend
happy, especially if you love her.
Flowers are always a sure-fire
way to keep her happy. Sneak
into her room early in the day
and leave her some flowers,
then when you go to take her
out that night, bring over some
more flowers. Chocolate is
.
also
a great idea. Go down to Price
Chopper.and
:
buy some of those
long stem stia:wbenies and choco-
late. (Ideally you should be able
'.
to melt the chocolate and dip the
strawbenies into it. However, if
you do not have access to a stove,
Hershey's syrup will work.)
Another good suggesti!:m is to
write her' a poem telling her how
much you love her. The idea that
it came from your heart
.
is special;
·
itis something she will always re-
member.
In
the event that you are
not feeling particularly creative,
my suggestion would be to go
down to the bookstore and read
through
_some
cards
.-
Piagiarize
Hallmark. Change a word here and
there and you
·
are all set (by the
way this suggestion also works
for birthday
and
Christmas cards.
Actually,
I
made it through an En-
glish literature class doing this.)
Lastly, I would recommend
springing for a hotel room. Noth-
ing
·
is less romantic than having
to come home to a dorm and hav-
ing to deal with roommates.
If
you
do get a hotel (the Best Western
down the road has a couple of
rooms with hot tubs in them) ar-
rive there before her and set some
flowers up. You can also spend
.
the next day in bed ordering room
service.
I
know that it gets expen-
sive but you only live once, and it
can be· charged.
It
is a small
price to pay for love.
Dinner for Two
I know that
I
wasted a lot of
time above so I am going to
get right to it. Caesar's, lo-
cated on Delafield right down
from Noah's, is a great little
restaurant to enjoy an intimate
dinner for two. This Saturday
they are going to have Days
Gone By singing love songs.
I
started iny meal with Shrimp
Martino, this appetizer con-
sists of three shrimp served
over a bed of angel hair pasta
and topped in a creamy blu'
cheese sauce.
The blu'
cheese provided just enough
flavor without overpowering
the delicate taste of
.
the
shrimp. Fired Calamari and
Bruschetta (red peppers, gar-
lic, romano and mozzarella
cheese baked on top of slices
of bread) were two of the other
appetizers that sounded ap-
pealing.
The menu consists of many
different pasta dishes includ-
ing one served with mush-
rooms and prociutto in a to-
mato cream sauce. There were
three or four veal dishes in-
cluding veal saltaimbocca
(which is a veal cutlet topped
with prociutto and mozzarella
cheese and smothered in a dark
sauce), and veal francese.
There
.
are also numerous
chicken, steak,. and seafood
items.
I
opted for the chicken marsala.
·
This consisted of two large
sauteed chicken cutlets in a
marsala wine sauce.
·
One of my
pet peeves when it comes to pre-
paring chicken is that I hate it if
the chef does not take the time
to trim the fat off and to pound
the cutlet so that it is thinner
(cooks argue that pounding the
meat would take too much time,
howev~r thinner meat cooks
quicker so their arguments do
not make much sense.) These
chicken breasts were very thin
and lean. The marsala sauce
was good, but too sweet. The
wine tasted like it had caramel-
ized.
The entree also came with a
salad comprised of mixed greens
and a homemade Caesar dress-
ing, which was very creamy and
smooth; a little more garlic and
it would have been perfect. As
a side dish I was given a side of
pasta with marinara sauce. The
sauce had large chunks of to-
matoes and a nice oregano taste
to it.
They also have a nice selec-
tion of wines.
I
had their house
Chardonnay which was not that
dry. It was very smooth and easy
to drink.
The dessert menu was fairly
limited consisting of cannollis,
tiramisu, cheesecake, one or two
ice cream dishes, and a
cappuccino mousse pie. They
also had an extremely large list-
ing of after dinner cordials and
specialty coffees.
Overall, Caesar's makes an ex-
cellent choice for those who are
looking for something special
here in Poughkeepsie. A com-
plete dinner for two will prob-
ably cost between $80 and $90.
While this is more than most
people would like to
spend
,
re-
member that Valentine's day is

you do make it
a
night to remem-
ber. Just remember to hurry up
and make reservations

soon
as
possible.

Love ~nd relationsltips at Mar~st College
Valentine's Day:
l
think this is one ofthe f!lOSt difficult editorial~) have ever
written. I did riot wantto be over sentimental, but at the same time I had to suppress
my cynicism. I asked everyone what I should write about, and I was given a lot of
advice.

"Write something funny."
"Write something meaningful."

_
However,'! was struck with the perfect idea when my housemate as_ked us today.
exactly what we would call the relationship she had with one of her male friends.
Was she seeing him? Dating him? What did it all mean? · ·
If you think about it; there are a myriad of different terms to describe the union of
a male and female here at Mari st, so I decided I would touch on a few of the major
types of relationships one may encounter during the college experience. ·
·•. Hooking up: as in "Oh, Bobby and I are just hooking up." This usually means ~t
is not a serious relationship at all. The two parties involved enjoy indulging in
hedonistic activities, usually after consuming very large amounts of alcohol. This
relationship is not really
a
relationship at all
;
rather a quest for pleasure by the male
and female. This "union" may happen only orice;'and one may hook up with as
_
!Ilany people as sllle chooses, without the burden of guilt. There is no commitment
in this relationship.
.
.
Seeing each other: as in "I have been seeing Bobby for a few weeks." This is
definitely past the hooking up stage, although a few characteristics still pertain.
Thitpleastire·quest is still on, but now there is some talking on the phone, and times
when the two will.hang out without the crutch of a mind~altering substance. The
two begin to take interest in each other, and may start imagining what it would be
like to take a walk down by the river t<>gether, discussing majof life issue!>. Seeing
other people at t~is time cah be very tric~y, especially when there are strong feel-
.
ings invol,ved. Speaking from experience, I would not suggest being in this phase
of a relationship for long. Seeing people who are seeing other people is not_good
for the self-esteem.
·
Girlfriend/B~yfrien~ stage: as in "Bobby is my boyfriend, and he is so gre,at!"
This is a wonderful stage to be in•because_not only is there the whole sensuality
aspect of the relationship, but there is (at least in a healthy relationship) a nice
sense of security. Your significant other should not be with anyone else but you,
and you enjoy such perks as having someone to confide in and trust, who trusts
you back. There is a commitment here, and there is a strong potential for this
person to be a strong fixture in your life for a while.
If
you are lucky, you will move
on to the next stage with this person...
.
Love: as iri "I love Bobby!!!" Congratulations if you have actually.made it to this
point while here at Marist, it is a great place to' be~ Y,ohind your sfgnificant oJher

together. Signs that you may be in the Love stage:) iWhile reading Hallmark cards,
you feel happy inside, and considt::r buying one foryour mate, 2. When you hear
that Celine Dion song from the "Titanic? you envision you and your mate as Jack

your

the case may be.

So, during yoQ_r four years at Marist,-experiment with_ the different relationships
that are out there, and be.careful not to conf~se
a
hooking up situation with Love.
Once again,experience has told me that there is a major difference, And although it
may not seem so great at the time; all of the broken hearts you may suffer actually
do make you stronger.

if I were to be' a c-ritic, I would
bave to dz;op

of my ridicu~
lotis idi<>!;iyncrasies-:- either that
or temporarily abandon them.
After all, I put the "idiot" in id-
iosyncrasy. Yes, well the
"T"
was . ~:lropped; presumably. for
aes.thetic purposes.
When I was thirteen, I
babysat for a television critk's
family on the coast of Maine. It
was my first- time away from
home for a long period of time,
and my conduct was not exactly
worthy of a single thumb up.
If
. anything, it wa~. worthy of a
middle fingerup. My apologies,
however belated, to the family
for that.
_
· I frequently used their video
camera, which was a novelty to
me. One after:noon, I was tap-
ing their two-year-old pick
blackberries in the yard through
the lens of the Handycam. Un-
fortunately, I sat on an anthill
and was brutally attacked by a
colony of red ants. I do have
the attack on tape, complete
with a shot of the ants scurry-
ing through the grass, as I threw
the camera on the ground
screaming.·
Perhaps if that were an iso-
lated incident my antics would
have been acceptable. Note that
I did not put the ''arit" in antics.
However, I . did ask the
childr~n's' ~other to driye to-
ward me as close as possible so
that I could simulate a pedes-
trian accident.
I think I have come a long
way, evenjf merely the geo:-
. graphic mileage between here
and Downeast Maine is the only
distance worthy of consider:-
ation. I have not lostmy knack
for making bad judgements,
· which brings me back to why I
- cannot see myself as a critic.
The last movie that I deemed
worthy of mentioning in this
colu.mn was "Star Wars," only
because I consumed a massive
quantity of Coca-Cola over the
course of the previews and into
the opening credits. That was
a long time ago ...
Anyway, however many times
I have been in disagreement
with critics and friends alike, I
DID like Titanic. However, you
do not know how many times
people gave away the ending in
jest. You know, "It sinks. Oh.
Sorry." After the movie, I found
that I had ripped a pinewood arm
off my chair at the Roosevelt
Theater. I sat, clutching to it as
though the theater was sinking.
I suppose I was rather fortunate
that no one was sitting on that
· side of me. Holding the dismem-
bered arm, I looked around at
the others in the theater. Luck-
ily, everyone was staring at the
screen so intently i:hat they had
not noticed my vandalization of
the old theater. I discreetly re-
placed the arm.
Anyway, on a note that is
slightly off key to the rest of my
tune, it is been said that every-
one is a critic.
If
ever you feel
that someone is a little harsh to-
ward you, just look at the per-
son to. next to you. For every
person you wish you could be,
there is a good many that will
leave you happy you are who
you are. Pleasant thoughts, and
happy V-day.

Officer
for
Student
Government(SGA), Coogan has
the responsibility to be available
to the students everyday. On a
daily basis he must be accessible
to answer questions on financial
procedure, process purchase or-
ders, and process check requests.
In addition, Coogan must prepare
allocations and budgets for all
clubs that submit budget requests
to the financial board. Coogan's ··

time with Student Government has
definitely helped him in many
ways. "I have leaned how much I
like to deal with people and
be there
to answer their questions," said
Coogan. He also attributes his ex-
perience with Student Govern-
ment as helping him to be a better
leader. Like many juniors, Coogan
is concentrating on his internship
possibilities. "I would really like
two internships next semester in
the Media," said Coogan. How-
ever, Coogan is presently focus-
ing on finishing this administra-
tion as strong as possible and get-
ting his grades up. He is also in-
terested in being appointed as
CFO next year as well. Majoring
in Radio/fV/Film, Coogan would
like to have a career in some as-
ct of the media. "I was set on
being a Sports Caster. However, I
am expan~ing my horizons:• said
Coogan. On top of his Stude~t Gov-
ernment responsibilities, Coogan is
very involved at Marist. Coogan is
a second year Residence Assistant
in Gartland, works in the sports de-
. partment at MCTV, has a classic
rock show on Tuesday night on
WMCR
and was appoinied to the
Presidential Committee on athletic
spirit at Marist. He is also the Red
Fox, and an Orientation Leader.
Though Coogan regrets that he is
"coping out", he stated Summer
Session as his most memorable mo-
ment from Student Government.
"We got a lot done and had a lot of
fun," said Coogan. Coogan would
also like to say hello to his girlfriend,
Jenn, the boys in E-5, Mark and
Jamie.
To the Marist Community,
I hope that all of you are adjusting to another hecti
semester at Marist College. The spring 1998 semester i.
for myself, and my fellow classmates, the last semeste
for us at Mari st. I thought I would take a break from th
SGA stuff I was doing, and my perpetual job search t
drop you all a line and let you know how busy the SG
has been in trying to meet the needs of the studen
body .
The Executive Board and Senate met informally on Janu
ary 24, 1998 to discuss goals and objectives for thi
semester. We are finishing up the revisions to the SG
Constitution, we are defining the role of the Class Offic
ers in SGA, we are revising the disciplinary matrix fo
club affairs. we are trying to get an ATM machine in th
Student Center, we are working on the cable TV pack
age, and we will be starting a recycling awareness cam
paign.
I wanted to update you on some upcoming activitie,
in SGA. First, the SGA will hold Spring Elections wit
the Speech night on February 17th at 9:30 pm in th
Performing Arts Room. The Student Body Presidentia
candidates will have a Debate on February 18th, at 9:3
pm, which can be seen only on MCTV. The polls wil
open on February 23rd and close on February 25th.
wish all of the candidates the best of luck, and appreci
ate their interest in joining the SGA. Please come ou
and vote, it is your voice .
Finally, the SGA will be sponsoring the first ever Di
versity Day, March 28th, from noon to
5
pm on the Cam
pus Green. The purpose of this event is to raise th
awareness of the diversity of Marist College, promot
· racial harmony, and showcase the talents of our stu
dents and student organizations. If you would like t

Now that was a college bas-

.
A loud crowd, clutch shots,
and a frenzied pace made the
Siena-Marist game last Saturday
night the best at the Mccann
Center this season.
The large group of Saints fans
who made the trip from
Loudonville
to
·
occupy a fair
share of the bleachers made the
game that much more exciting.
Their presence inspired the Red
Fox faithful to get louder than
they have in quite a while. From
the pre-game introductions
straight through to late in the
second half when the Marist
flag was making its way around
the court, all the fans were into
it.
The players were as well.
Siena's full court press and up-
tempo offense led to numerous
big plays for both sides.

Bobby Joe Hatton excelled in

It
was not just about players

playing well-when theyhad to.
Both teams came through with
big shots when they needed to.
Every shot was answered by the
other side as the lead changed
hands fifteen times during the
course of the

game.
Neither team had a lead of

Marist was up by six in the first
