lege, but they did not this time.
"It's common com:tesy to give
us a call,". he said, "but there's
nothing on the books."
Coogan, D' Addario and Steve
Sansola; assistant dean of stu-
dent activities and conferences,
were holding a meeting in the
SGA office around
i
:30 p.m.
when a Marist security guard
came in and asked Coogan to
step outside.
Coogan said town police were
outside waiting and told him to
put his hands on the wall. He
said h~ was searched and placed
under arrest while the police in-
sisted they had the right person.
"At no time did they ask my
name," Coogan said. "I asked
them twice if they had the same
guy."
Coogan was put in a squad car
behind Champagnat, but at the
last minute another security
guard stopped the police ..
"They were ·about to•drive
away, but one of the security
guards stopped them and said
this isn't the guy you need,"
.he said;
Leary said it is unusual that
the polic;e would not ask some-
one their name, ·
"In
all my years of law en-·
forceni~nt, I never locked up a
guy without asking his name,"
Leary said.
·
Police then returned to the
Student Center and arrested
D' Addario, who was taken to
the City of Poughkeepsie Po-
lice Station.
Coogan said he was shook up
by the whole experience.
"I was in shock when they
said I was under arrest," he said.
"I knew I didn't do anything
wrong. It wasn't something
you'd expect. I just sat in my
chair and tried to regain my
composure."
Murray said the salaries are ·
based on the nature
of
the posi-
tion and what the industry pays
professionals in the field. .
·
·
"Most people that worked here
and then go into the private sec- .
tor, would make more money then
they would get at Marist/' he
said.

·
Wow, here we are, the last is-
sue of
The Circle for this aca-
demic year. I have completed
my four year sentence (uh .. .I
mean my four years of learning)
and it is now time for Mari st to
hand over that diploma.
After my two week hiatus I am
back with one last food review.
Now that the year is over I fig-
ure itwould be a great time to
.
look back and pick my favorite
restaurants.
If money were no object,
Caesar's in Poughkeepsie \l{ould
win harids down. Their Italian
food is excellent. With price in
m1nd I would have to say the
Hyde Park Brewery
and
The
Derby have been my two favor-
ite eateries around here. Both
have delicious food at reason-
able prices. Make sure to check
them out before you leave
Poughkeepsie. I know I am go-
ing to spend most of Senior
Week up at the Hyde Park Brew-
ery.
I also suggest checking out the
bars of New Paltz before you
leaveMarist.
i
know it is a
20
minute drive, but it is well worth
it. New Paltz is a real college
town,
·with
·
a
·
half dozen or so
'
,i,;•
bars located
.
right next to each
other. The bars are much cooler
than anything you can find in
Poughkeepsie.
Anyway, on to the last food
review of the year.
Bugaboo Creek. located on
Route 9 just south of the
Poughkeepsie Galleria. is a
steakhouse t~at resembles a
Canadian Ski Lodge. A talking
pine tree greets guests \vheri
they first walk in. The tree is on
a timer. Every
IO
mimttes or so
it comes to life and begins talk-
ing. (Through out my meal this
little boy kept screaming for the
tree to come alive and talk).
There are also a bunch of talk-
ing animals. Over the bar is a
large Moosehead that comes
alive and tells the story of Buga-
boo Creek. The brightly lit res-

It is

worth it to

go to Bugaboo Creek
just for the atmosphere,
,
.
I was disappointed by their lim-
ited menu. The last time I had
been to Bugaboo (which was
over a year ago) I remembered a
much more extensive menu. I
did not see any vegetarian items
listed on the menu. This is very
surpnsmg,
even
for
a
steakhouse. One dish, Trapper
Pete's chicken pasta, can prob-
ably be ordered without the
chicken. For the most p:.trt they
had the usual steakhouse menu
·
fare: a couple of different kinds
of steaks. ribs. pork chops. some
chicken. and shrimp dishes.
Last time I was there I remem-
ber ordering a sampler type ap-
petizer: I would have liked to
order it again. but I did not see
it on the menu. So instead I or-
dered the snowbird chicken
($5.79) which is an overwhelm-
ing plate of chicken strips. The
chicken is deep-fried until it is
golden brown and crispy.
.
Honey mustard and BBQ sauce
are served on the side. The por-
tion is definitely
enough
for a
couple of people to share.
For my entrees I ordered a
blackened trout
($9.99). The
fish was well seasoned. crispy
on the outside and light and
flaky on the inside. The menu
said all entrees come with a
choice of side dishes. My
server did not bother to ask me
what side dish I would like. she
just gave me their garlic mash
potatoes. I probably would
have ordered them anyway. but
she should have asked.
I also had the opportunity to
try the Cariboo chicken
($9.99)
which is a grilled chicken breast
smothered in ham, cheddar and
jack cheese. Next time I go hack
I will prohably go fi.1r lunch. I
want to try their Salmon River
dub
($7.-49). which is a grilled
lilet of salmon served on an
t1versized
roll.
Their
Moosebreath burger
($5.99)
would also make a great choice
for lunch. This burger. served
on an english muflin is topped
with sautccd mushrooms.
If you arc looking for some-
thing lighter you can try their
Steak Caesar
salad
($7 A9). This
Caesar salad consists of romai11c
lettuce and tender strips of
steak.
For dessert I tried the apple
crisp
($3.99) which is served
with a side of vanilla ice cream.
The dessert. made with rnisins.
is very good. Also on the des-
sert menu is a Monster Brownie
pie
($4.99) which is also served
with two scoops of ice cre.1111.

The sexual behavior of young
people has brought the rat

e of
sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) to an an time high, ac-
cording·tci,a study
;
qone by
The

thirds of these are among men
and women under the age of 25.
The Institute cites risky behav-
ior and lack of education as the
causes of the number of STDs
.
among this age group.
Jane O'Brien, direc
_
tor of
Health Services at Marist Col-
lege, said she believes the in-
crease is due to the nonchalant
attitude of young people.

is one methpd that has
shown to have an effect.
According to the Rural Cen-
ter for AIDS/STD
.
Prevention,
young people that received edu-
cation about sex and STDswere
either less likely to engage in
sex, or more likely to have safe
sex if they did have
sex.
"At Marist, we encourage stu-
dents to educate other
students
about STDs. One way that this
is done is through Peer educa-
tion groups," said O'B
_
rien.
Although O'Brien advocates
this approach, some students,
like Jackie Fitzpatrick, disagree.
Fitzpatrick, member of the HIV/
AIDS Peer Educator group, said
this approach is not always
best.
. "A
lot of times, students don· t

tures that we sponsor. This
makes them ineffective," she
said.
·
Seeing the reality in the issue
is a key factor in the
education
process, says O'Brien.
"STDs and HIV don"t seem to
be a reality for students. It only
becomes real when someone
else who actually has a STD or
HIV speak~ to them," she said.
According to Planned Parent-
hood of Poughkeepsie, there are

Some students. such as Heidi

about
STDs available on campus.
"There isn" t any education
available about the topic on
campus that I have seen or
heard. Maybe if there were,
people might change some of
their behaviors," she said.
O'Brien said she feels there is
adequate information given out.
"If
students come to us about
questions about STDs, we will
give them
accurate
and honest
answers," said O'Brien.
Besides one-on-one personal
questions, Health Services also
provides pamphlets in the wait-
ing area for students who may
be too shy to ask questions, said
O'Brien.
According to O'Brien, if a stu-
dent has a more urgent problem
or question, he or she is referred
to St. Francis Hospital, Planned

Editor bids firialfarewell to'· l\tlarist College
As I sit here to writ_e my, final editorial, I am in shock that·my four years here at
Marist are almost completely over. There are so many memories, ranging from very
good to very bad; I am almost afraid that when I leave here, I might not be able to
take them all with me.
·
I remember coming in as a scared freshmen, so excited, but so nervous; about my
roommate, leaving my friends from home, classes, and wondering about the whole
social life at college, and if I would be able to handle it alL My roommate turned out
to be one of my best friends, I fell into the routine of classes, I kept in touch with the
"important" people from home, and I certainly fell in love with the social life.
My sophomore year, I learned the meaning of true friendship. My mom was very
sick, and I was going through a lot of really hard things. My friends were there for me
through all of it, when I was sobbing hysterically, and when I just did not know if I
could handle what life was dealing me, they were there. I learned one of the most
important lessons of college that year; you need your friends, they are one of the
most important aspects oflife. Even just one good friend can make a major difference
in your life.
My junior year was very fun and s_tressful at the same time. My classes got harder,
but I found my niche at Marist. I became really involved in the paper and in PEOPLE,
and found where my favorite places to hang out. were located (even though The
NiteCap burned down one night...). I started to worry about interning and work, but
kept in mind I had one more year left, so I should not freak out too much.
Now it is the end of my .senior year, which has been great. My friends mean more
to me than anything, [ have been in a solidrelationship for over a year and a half, and
I feel that I have accomplished more than I ever thought I would. However, all of this
excitement is overshadowed by the inevitable; I am about to graduate and face the
REAL WORLD in less than a month. A job, moving out of my house, all of these
things are about to fall upon me so soon, ready or not.
I have to put faith in the education and experience I have learned here, as well as the
faith I have to put in myself. I have to trust that I have learned enough during these
four years that I can make it outside the security guard-protected world of Marist.
The final advice I can give is really to make the most of every moment spent here.
Cherish your friends, your lovers, even your classes. All of the things you may
encounter here will affect you, and make you a stronger person, even if it feels Hke
you are going through hell at the same time. Things will get better, and you will learn
from every experience.
I mean, where else can you eat quality Sodexho food, encounter pleasant entry
officers who demand you swipe a card to enter your home, have your car broken
into, or get to breathe in that clean, crisp "Marist" smell?

"Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs.

your world will at last be built."

To the Editor:
When I opened up the April 23 issue of

I was apalled to see a box at
the bottom of page 6 containing the following message to
Circle
readers:
"Notice to all readers: Since no on has responded to our requests throughout
this school year,
The Circle
is no longer looking for opinion writers. Thanks for
nothing."
If
this newspaper is trying to establish any sort of credibility with the students of
Marist College, as well as any other readers
The Circle
may have, it has failed
miserably.

Hampshire. in a desperate at-

.
Apparently. my parents drew
more parallels between Bob and
me than just that we took public
transportation in the company
of a goldfish.
I called my house recently. and
my sister asked what happened
to my goldfish, Kingsley. I re-
minded her that I did not have
the blighted little thing over
spring break. I was not even
particularly aware of the absence
of Kingsley. However, I did re-
member the absence of commen-
tary from shoeshine guys and
Mid Westerners as I walked from
Grand Central to the Port Au-
thority in regards to
mi
fish, but
that was almost a good thing.
Anyway, I told my sister that
Kingsley was long dead and
asked her why this had not come
up during spring break. She ex-
plained that my parents did not
want to upset me, so she was
told not to mention the fish,
sitice his absence was Qbvi-
ously dlie to his rather timely
death.
She even said that my mother
refrained from purchasing a
goldfish-adorned shower cur-
tain. because she feared that

Maybe the curtain's pi·oximity

there is a perfect issue that I
would like to .discuss.
In the very well put together
Inner Circle, ·there is an article
about.the Mccann fitness cen-
ter, and how John Poitras is not
allowing students to wear any
other college clothing. Poitras
enforces this rule by berating
, students in front of their peers,
and completely embarrasses
them ..
This apparantly is done to pro-
mote school spirit.
Hmmm .. .let us all think ahout
that. W.hen sqme.one belittles
you in front of your friends and
peers, that is really going to
make you love everything they
stand for. In this case, that
would be Marist College.
What if President Murray went
to work out at the gym, and wore
a t-shirt with his college alma
matter on the front. Would
Poitras scream at him and make
him leave?
I doubt
it.
I think that if Poitras came to
me; and demanded
l
leave the
gym because I happened to he
wearing my last clean t-shirt,
which happened to he a SUNY

him to jump off the Mid-Hudson

In conclusion. wear whatever
you want to wear. I have a lot or
love for this school. hut if I have
no clean Marist clothes. I will
wear whatever I want lo. I highly
doubt that screaming and scold-
ing will boost pride and moral in

HuMarists and the lillle gem that
you are reading right now. I had
such a belier time at this school.
and I felt that I had let the entire
year slip through my fingers. So,
and I know it has been said be-
fore. you really do need to get
involved. Most importantly,
find something that makes you
happy; something you enjoy
doing. If anyone else has ever
enjoyed anything that I have
done with either the HuMarists
or
The Circle, that is a wonder-
ful bonus. Whal mallers to me
is that I have had a blast these
past three years because of the
people involved, and I thank
them for always making time for
my shenanigans. More impor-
tantly, though, I enjoyed my ex-
tra-curricular activities simply
because I had fun with them.
If there is something that you
have really wamed lo do. but
have not. whether it he acting.
singing or helping those less
fortunate than yourself. you
should make an effort lo do
something about it in the fall.
No matter what year you are. it
is never too late to make the
most of your time here. Once
you start getting involved with
the school, you realize just how
much it has to offer.

Opinion editor warmly welcomes writers

Opinion Editor
I was first drawn to the opin-
ion section because

interested in it,- so I would

was a freshman at the time,
and thought that the grass was
more respected by students at
Marist College than the incom- ·
ing class. Now I realize that is
only true if one believes it.
Anyway, I was under the im-
pression that the Opinion Sec-
tion was an underdog of sorts.
Features is neat, News is infor-
mative, Arts and Entertainment
is artsy, and Sports is, well, ath-
letic: B_ut really, who has an
opinion? Everyone.
The Opinion Section is such a
great thing. It involves little re-
search and few sources. It is all
you; the writer. Collectively, the
section is a forum for expression
of the concerns of Marist Col-
lege students.
It has been said that the Marist
student body is apathetic. That
is not entirely true. All students
believe and are concerned about
something. Whether it is their
families, a disturbed friend, mak
~
ipg
happy hour, or saving the
whales, we all have_ priorities .
-Sometimes it may seem like col-
lege is the threshold to our lives.
Sometimes it may seem that this
is our last chance to be kids.
Sometimes it feels like we can
not make a difference. Sharing
concerns that may affect all of
us can make a difference.
We, the students, are Marist
College. That _may sound
cheesy, but Marist is not a con-
centration of buildings, lawns,
and parking lots on the banks
of the Hudson. Okay, so it is,
but it is also students, working
with the faculty and staff that
make Marist whatit is.
The Opinion Section has al-
ways welcomed the concerns of
all students. Maybe I am stat-
ing the obvious. I do not know
about everyone else, but every
so often, I need to be reminded
of the obvious.
- This section is losing two of
its regular writers to graduation.
The Circle
welcomes new and
innova_tive writers. Why not
write a little something? (Note
that our irregular writers were
unable to contribute, primarily
due to the ineffectiveness of
Metamucil).
So, be proud of your school,
the school that you chose, and
respectively chose you, to at-
tend. Everyihing you do is a
reflection of your school. In
turn, everything that Marist
College does is a reflection of
you.
An opinion editor is a bit of a
misnomer. He or she does not
edit opinions. As next year's
Opinion Editor, I plan to make
that my slogan. Well, either that
or something a little like that old
Anchor Bank commercial. You
know, "She's your opinion edi-
tor, she understands." Or maybe
not. It will be tough to shake
off four semesters of being the
humor columnist. Though, my
resignation may be deemed to
be a marvelous act of God to
some, to others, merely a good
thing.
