MARIST COLLEGE, POUGHKEEPSIE,
N.Y.
Three injured,
student arrested
in campus fight
Security, senior claim self defense
by
CHRIS LANDRY
Senior Editor
A Marist student was arrested
and charged with striking a Securi-
ty guard during a scuffle on cam-
pus last weekend, according to the
Office of Safety and Security.
Town of Poughkeepsie police
Sunday morning arrested senior
Joseph J. Furey 3rd, 22 Jewett
.
Ave.,
Poughkeepsie, for third
degree assault, a misdemeanor.
Furey was released that afternoon
from Dutchess County Jail on $100
bail, according to his attorney,
John J. O'Neill
.
O'Neill said Furey
is fighting the charge.
The incident occurred at about
3:30 a.m. at the gate on the road
behind Marian Hall. Furey was
parked in his
car
with a female
freshman student when Security
·
guard Dan Dorn knocked on his
window and told him to move.
Furey got out of his car, and an
altercation ensued between the two.
During the incident, Dorn struck
Furey with a flashlight. Furey hit
Dorn and knocked him to the
ground.
Each said he struck the other in
self defense
.
·
Student Security guard Jim
0'Toole, who was with Dorn, was
injured trying to break up the fight,
according to Security.
The student who was with Furey
fled during the incident. She has
not been identified.
Dorn and Furey were taken to
separate hospitals to avoid
-
further
trouble, said Director of Safety and
Security Joseph Leary.
Furey said he received nine stit-
ches over his left eye before being
released from St. Francis Hospital
in Poughkeepsie.
According to Leary, Dorn
received three stitches and suffered
lacerations to his head. O'Toole
·
suffered a swollen jaw. Both were
treated and released from Vassar
Brothers Hospital in Poughkeepsie.
Security and Furey gave conflic-
ting accounts of the incident. Each

Bill
to release campus crime statistics
by
JENN JOHANNESSEN
Staff Writer
Prospective and enrolled Marist
students may soon have statistics of
all campus crimes made available
to them,
if
a year-old campus crime
bill passes through the state
legislature.
The bill would will require every
college and university in New York
State to publish a
.
report of the
most recent crimes, numbered by
category, over a three-year period.
The report would also have to
publicize campus security policy
and offer information on its
secmi-
ty measures.
·
"The report would be
part
of the
materials a school would give
students upon admission," said
Assemblyman Steve Saland.
Some of the crimes listed would
include homicide, assault, sexual
offenses, robbery, burglary and
criminal trespassing.
·
The security policy report would
include how much security is
available, ratio of security person-
nel to students, number of full and
part time officers on duty per shift,
nature of training, whether non-
resident guests are required to
register and whether the school has
a policy regarding the use of illicit
drugs on school property, said
Saland.
The bill was introduced Jan. 23,
1989, and is currently in the com-
mittee stage. Both houses are in the
process of discussing amendments
to enhance penalties and make
them severe enough to encourage
compliance, according to Saland.
Fines of up to
$1,000
could
be
issued and the legislature is now
contemplating an amendment that
will levy penalties and
·
fines on a
daily basis after the effective date
of the bill.
The state's attorney general
would determine whether a school
is in violation and fine the school
accordingly.
According to the Nov. 22, 1989
.
publication of The New York
Times, a national bill was introduc-
ed late last year comparable to the
legislation in New York. That
legislation, which would affect all
colleges and universities receiving
federal student aid, has been in-
troduced in the Senate and the
House.
The bill may become a federal
requirement and result in the loss
of federal aid to schools, if not
obeyed, according to Saland.
Pennsylvania last year became
the first state to require that all in-
stitutions of higher learning make
their crime statistics public. Since
then, Tennessee, Florida, and
Louisiana have enacted similar
legislation. Laws are under con-
sideration or bills were introduced
in 21 other states, according to
The
Times.
The prompting for the legislation
in Pennsylvania was an incident at
Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa.,
where a highly publicized rape and
murder occurred in a dormitory
three years ago. According to The
Times, campus officials said Penn-
sylvania's legislation has not
frightened off prospective students.
"I'm fully
in
favor of it," said
Joseph
Leary,
director of safety
and security. "It's one of the
things
that a freshman and
his
or her
parents should be aware of."

Quiet power;·
CSL distant
to most of us
by
DAN HULL
Staff Writer
Who did it?
.
Marist students say they have no
c)ue.
If
they were watching the movie
"Clue" or playing its popular
board-game version, they would
probably lose even when some of
the more obvious clues
-
the new
lights on the basketball court, the
automatic teller machine and copy
cards in the Library -
were
revealed.
That's because most Marist
students say they have absolutely
no idea - either through ignorance
or laziness -
about how much in-
fluence the Council of Student
Leaders has and how students can
contact its various branches.
And even when students have an
opportunity to control CSL by
voting for its leaders, few take
advantage.
"A lot of students couldn't care
less
about
the student govern-
ment," said freshman John Bauer;
"just look at how many people
voted in the elections."
.
:
.
.
.
ln
the election last March, 428
people voted.

Student Body President Kevin
Desmond says this is unfortunate
because CSL has power -
and a
lot of it.
"I
think that we have an im-
mense amount of power, but what
it comes down to is people have to
be willing to pick up the ball and
run with it," he said.
Everytime CSL has submitted a
proposal to the administration, it
has never been denied, Desmond
said.
CSL is also responsible for the
study rooms in Donnelly Hall,
microfilm machines in the Library
and the television in the Commuter
Lounge.
On the slate for future projects
are the installation of picnic tables,
benches and trash cans by the river;
the construction of a sand
volleyball court behind Cham-
pagnat Hall; and making the
schools mainframe accessible to
students living in the Canterbury
Garden Apartments.
Desmond said that he has receiv-

Center aims to change mental illness myths
by
LAURIE AURELIA
Staff Writer
Sue thought she had the job.
After her interview at the Econolodge, a
motel in Poughkeepsie, she was confident the
manager would hire her as a launderer.
"When I went to apply, the manager
.
brought me into his office
and
seemed eager
to hire me," said
Sue, whose last name
has
been
changed for this article.
But that was the last Sue
heard from
the motel's manager. After checking her
references, the manager discovered she had
a history of mental illness, said
Sue, 34,
who now works at a workshop in
Poughkeepsie.
Sue's case may
be
typical
of many
with the
stigma
of mental illness and those
who have been treated at the Hudson River
Psychiatric Center, Marist's North-End
neighbor.
Formally def
med, stigma
is
a "mark of in-
feriority or a brand of shame." Even though
Sue
didn't know exactly
what
the word
meant, her story indicated that she clearly
knew how it felt.
One in five families has a relative who is
mentally ill,said Joseph Towers, director of
public information and community relations
at HRPC, a psychiatric facility serving Ulster
and Dutchess Counties.
And one in four hospital beds in New
York state is occupied by someone with a
mental illness, making the
disease
the leading
cause of admission to at least one hospital
in New York, said Towers.
"With numbers of that magnitude it's
hard to imagine people either trying to ig-
nore the disease or continuing to believe their
own misconceptions about it," said Towers.
"The average age of a first admission is
only 17 and a half years old," Towers said.
"It's about time everyone learned more
about mental illness and came to realize that
those who suffer from it are really no dif-
ferent from you or I - we're just luckier,"
he added.
Popular misconceptions include the idea
that people with a mental illness are violent,
aggressive and unpredictable, Towers said.
"They are no more violent than the
average person, said Sally Clay, a member
of the Ulster County Consumer Action Net-
work, a support group for former patients.
"In fact, they are more likely to
be
depress-
ed and withdrawn, than wild and ag-
gressive," said Clay,
Towers
agreed.
"I feel safer working here
at the hospital than I would walking around
Marist campus at night," Towers said. "The
crime statistics are lower here than they are
outside the hospital."
So how can patients shed the violent
stereotype?
The best way is to ease the public's fears
by educating them about what the mentally
ill
are really like, said Gerry Matusiewicz, a
former psychiatric patient who works at the
Mental Health Association in Dutchess
County.
"This could be accomplished if local
organizations, the State Office of Mental
Health and the advenising industry would
work together in waging anti-stigma
cam-
paigns to educate people and change public
opinion," said Matusiewicz.

Jazzmaster Jordan lights up The Chance
Last Sunday nfght I took a
musical journey
to
the Chance and
strayed far from the comfortably
beaten path of rock music that I
usually travel.
I'm not one to avoid the un-
familiar and the unknown, but I
tend to exercise caution when it
comes to ticket prices and a Sun-
day night away from the warm
glow of the tube.
There are reasons to shy away
from "unknown" concerts, not
unlike the reasons to avoid
"unknown" movies: when you go
to
a bad movie, you're out
anywhere from five to ten
simoleons and you've just wasted
two hours of your life.
If
you go to a bad concert,
you're out anywhere from fifteen
to twenty five bucks, you've just
wasted about three hours of you~
life and your head is pounding lik~
.
drums on the Congo. Call.it fea.1;
~
of the unknown, but I'd rather save
the cash.
·
My purpose this week, however,
is not to tell you about a bad con-
cert but an amazing musician who
performed at the Chance on
Sunday.
This being the first jazz concert
I've ever seen, I was naturally a bit
anxious and decided to go only at
the last possible second.
You see, I've wanted to see
Stanley Jordan live ever since
I
picked up his debut album four
years ago. Since I'm no con-
noisseur of jazz, I was always hesi-
tant. How will
I
know what to ap-
preciate at a jazz concert? Will I be
the only one not picking up on the
"hipness" of the show? Will I
snooze?
Those were the terrifying
thoughts in my head. Thank you,
Mr. Jordan, for dispelling my fear
of live jazz. I was thinking too
much, and one does not think
about music. I found a simple key
to
appreciating jazz - all you have
to do is listen.
Listening to Stanley Jordan play
guitar is, for want of a better
phrase, a phenomenal experience.
To call him simply a guitar player
is like calling the Bible just another
book. Come to think of it, his
talents on the instrument are of
near-Biblical proportions.
If you think I'm exaggerating,
then you definitely weren't there.
From his opening notes of Jimi
Hendrix's "Angel" to his final riff
on "Somewhere Over the Rain-
bow," Jordan entranced the
capacity crowd at the Chance.
Now wait a minute... the guy

covers Hendrix and Judy Garland
in one show? Sure, but his eclectic
choice of music isn't half of the
story. Stated simply, no one plays
guitar like Stanley Jordan.
Originally trained in piano, Jor-
dan left the ivories for guitar. Be-
ing a somewhat unconventional
musician, and finding traditional
guitar technique either too constric-
ting or too boring (or both), heap-

his style in words won't do him
justice, but hear him play live and
I guarantee you will be astounded.
Jordan was alone on the stage,
but if you closed your eyes you'd
swear there were two musicians up
there; two extremely talented,
veteran jazz players creating fran-
tic melodies and intricate
harmonies.
Watching him play left me
speechless -
his hands danced all
over the fretboard, not an inch of
wood untouched. They flew past
each other, occasionally tripped
over each other (no, Jordan isn't
note perfect, but he doesn't need
to be) and still I'm wondering: how
does he do that?
One thing I've noticed about jazz
- it really puts to shame the basic
three-chord ro
.
ck I usually listen to.
Jazz might not be as easy to "get
into", but good jazz sure furthers
the argument that rock and roll is
just a lot of noise (although I'll
never give it up).
'
When he played a second guitar
for part of his show, he made me
a believer in guitar synthesizers. It
was during this part where his
background in piano truly came
through.
When the guitar sounded like
(among other things) a harp-
sichord, an organ, a xylophone and
a horn section, you'd have thought
he was playing a synthesized
keyboard. Some mediocre musi-
cians use the synth to make them
sound better than they really are,
Jordan merely uses it as a tool and
a means to explore incredible new
dimensions in sound. He masters
the machine.
I mentioned two songs from his
grab-bag set of originals and
covers. Other highlights included
his interpretations of the Beatles'
"Eleanor Rigby," Thelonious
Monk's "Round Midnight," the
ubiquitous "Stairway
to
Heaven,"
and Jordan's own "A-Flat Pur-
ple."
At times he got so into his im-
provisation that
·
you couldn't tell
where the song went. But he always
got back around to it after fooling
with it for a while.

· So what
if
I missed

the Grammys

ing ticks from the dog next door).
There's no way they could have
stacked up against the music at the

diet. Hey -

Birth control pill given discreetly on campus
by
KAREN CICERO
Managing Editor
For the last four years, students have
received free samples and prescriptions for
the birth control pill as part of a discreet ef-
fort by Health Services to promote safer sex
and responsibility.
Bollmann said she counsels half or the 12
to
15 students she sees on her Monday night
visits about a variety of birth control options,
including the most widely used contraceptive,
the birth control pill.
However, these reasons shouldn't be an
obstacle in providing this service to students,
according to Deborah Bell DiCaprio, assis-
tant dean of Student Services.
But Health Services does not provide con-
doms or sponges because, unlike the pill,
they don't require a prescription and are easi-
ly assessible off campus, according to
DiCaprio.
If
Bollmann can't handle all the cases in
one night, DiCaprio said Marist will look in•
to expanding this service.
Bollmann said the pill enables students to
be responsible.
Although this program is not listed in the
Student Handbook as one that Health Ser-
vices offers, Ann Bollmann, a family nurse
practitioner, says she sees more students -
and distributes more samples -
each year.
When companies that manufacture the pill
send her free samples, she passes them to
students to help defray the pill's monthly $15
to $20 cost, Bollmann said.
Because of Marist's Catholic heritage and
her full-case load, Bollmann said she doesn't
object that the service isn't mentioned in the
student handbook.
Nearby Vassar College has a full-time
nurse practitioner.
Besides, DiCaprio said Bollmann
's
distribution of the free samples makes sense
because of its savings to sexually
active
students who should use birth control.
"Girls need to know that if they're going
to take on the privilege of a one-to-one rela-
tionship, there's a corresponding respon-
sibility to be safe," she said. "If they're not
willing to take on responsibility, it's not fair
to take on the privilege."
Marist 's morning· wakeup call:
Break/ ast 's worth the trip
A Marist cafeteria worker mixes some of the 90 dozen eggs
and 25 gallons of milk that Sailer's goes through weekly.

JENN JOHANNESSEN
Staff Writer
Five dozen bagels, six loaves of
bread, 25 gallons of orange juice,
32
loaves of French toast,
90
dozen
eggs and 25 to 30 gallons of milk,
that's the daily menu for about 400
students who eat and can even
order breakfast in the cafeteria.
For the 38.9 percent of the
students who go to breakfast
regularly, the Mari st cafeteria has
real food, a relaxed atmosphere
and reasonably good service.
Breakfast, for some, does not
only provide nutrition, it provides
incentive.
"It's the only way
I
can wake up
in the morning because
I
have to
·go to work and its the only good
meal of the day," said sophomore
Ryan McEntee of Breezy Point,
N.Y., whose favorite dish is the
eggs-to-order.
For others, it is just the thing to
do.
"I'm usually up in the morning
anyway," said J.W. Stewart, a
communication arts major from
Middletown, R.l.
The $996 resident students spend
on the meal plan is divided into
sixths, one-sixth of the daily rate is
used for breakfast, one-third is us-
ed for lunch and one-half is used
for
dinner. Seilers figures in a miss-
ed meal factor which assumes
students may only show up for 50
to 70 percent of their meals. The

Student activism on rise:
Vassar demonstrators
take over main building
by
HOLL V GALLO
Features Editor
Vassar College students staged a
34-hour demonstration last week,
occupying a campus building in
reaction to a speech by Sen. Daniel
Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y ., at
Vassar a month ago.
On Wednesday, at approximate-
ly
6
a.m., about 50 students began
demonstrating against Moynihan's
position as the second recipient of
the Eleanor Roosevelt Chair by
barring the entry of any ad-
ministrators to
Main
Building,
which
houses
offices and
dormitories.
Throughout the course of the
demonstration, the number of par-
ticipants fluctuated, according to
Dixie Sheridan, vice president for
college relations. Over
300
students
turned out for a press conference
on Thursday, she said.
That number fell significantly,
though, after Moynihan's agre~-
ment to step down from the posi-
tion, Sheridan said.
Moynihan was named to the
chair on Jan. 29, at which time he
delivered a lecture to students,
faculty and community residents
on the growing need for t~e
recognition of various ethnic
groups.
However, Moynihan allegedly
made a racial remark following the
lecture in response to a question
posed by Folami Gray, director of
the Dutchess County Youth
Bureau.
Gray, who came to the U.S.
from Jamaica, was said to have
quesitoned the postion of black and
native Americans in this country.
Moynihan's alleged response to this
was that she should, "Pack her
bags and go back where she came
from."
Although response to this by the
students was mostly negative,
Sheridan pointed out that there
were some supporters of the
senator.
"There are lots of different opi-
nions on campus (regarding the
issue)," Sheridan said.
In a letter to students, staff and
administrators this week, Vassar
President Frances Fergusson stress-
ed
that, "As we discuss and assess
the events which occurred, we need
also
to
affirm the values we hold
in common."
"Let
me
state that Vassar Col-
lege, and
I
personally, condemn
racism,"· she wrote. "We are
strongly committed to building and
sustaining a diverse community
free of racism, sexism, and in-
tolerance."
In a letter of resignation to
Fergusson, Moynihan wrote,
"Heavens, what hath one lecture
wrought!"
He wrote on, saying,
"I
gather
the students have asked that I
return -
whatever that means -
the Eleanor Roosevelt Professor-
ship
...
I
know you won't approve
of this, and I'm sure Eleanor
Roosevelt would not have ... The
times, unhappily, have changed."
In addition to the request that
Moynihan resign the chair, the
students asked for a number of
changes to be considered by the
college.
This list of demands included the
hiring of a rabbi, complete campus
accessibility for_ the disabled, a
complete boycott of products of
apartheid, and the creation of a
task force on racism.
According to Sheridan, there \\ill
be a number of negotiations bet-
ween students and administrators
to work out some of the demands.
"(The administration) is willing
to sit and talk," Sheridan
said.
"It
will probably take a little while
before all the issues are resolved."
breakfast and weekend meals.
According to Chief Finance Of-
ficer Anthony Campilii, since not
many students go to breakfast, it's
the most cost efficient meal to
make and that's why Seilers has op-
tions like eggs-to-order, and has
tailor-made the program to suit the
student body.
Some
67
.8 percent of the 1,080
students on the meal plan show up
for lunch and 71.2 percent go to
dinner as compared to the 38.9 per-
cent who stagger into breakfast, ac-
cording
to Seilers.
"We're up, what
else are we going to
do? Besides, it's the
best meal
of
the
day."
These figures rise, however, dur-
ing exam times, according to
Campilii.
"Around
exam time the majori-
ty of the student body shows up for
their meals and the budget is ad-
justed accordingly," said Campilii.
Before Spring Break rolls
around, students are conscious of
how they look. When they start to
shed their layers of clothes and see
how much weight they may have
gained over the winter, they eat
lighter.
Lighter meals that include fruit,
yogurt and salad are more readily
available to Marist students and are
figured into the meal rate, said
Campilii.
Most of the people who show up
for breakfast are the athletes who
have practice early in the morning
and people who have 8:15's.
"We're up, what else are we
gonna do, besides it's the best meal
of day," said freshman Jay Jutkof-
sky, a communication ans major
from Ancram,
N.Y.
"H's the only time of the day
I
can relax, because I never make
lunch, and dinner is too rushed,"
said Jason England, a freshman
computer
information systems ma-
jor from West Hartford, Conn.
"It's
one meal you can go
to
and
everyone looks like hell, sometimes
even worse," said freshman Doug
Lewis Wood.
Stephanie Tanis, a sophomore
communication arts major from
Glen Rock,
N.J.,
said, "We go
because- we're dehydrated, not
because we like the food." She
favors the omelets because they
have
"more protein content."
Sophomore Jennifer Terracino
of Brookfield, Conn. said
breakfast is the best meal by the
process of elimination.
"Breakfast is the best meal of
the day because it's the only one
I
can attend regularly,'' said
Sophomore accounting major Ann
Salasny of Buffalo,

"We were very disappointed in the turnout because of thetiine

Lehman said.
Each question required only a yes or no answer or

The results indicated that Marist students' musical tastes are very

THE CIRCLE, FEBRU~RY

Chess champ challenges
students simultaneously
by
LENNY KLIE
Staff Writer
Chess master Peter Prochasko
played up to 15 Marist s~udenJs
simultaneously, Thursday night,
m
the Fireside Lounge, and by the
end of the evening, was undefeated
in
25
games.
Prochasko claimed his prey as he
jumped from board to board.
After three hours of play, only
four Marist students came close to
threatening the champion by plac-
ing Prochasko's king into check.
"There were several positions
I
was
genuinely concerned about,"
he said. "The students played quite
well."

from North Bellmore,
N.Y.,

the first to put Prochasko

A

act immediately drew the atte*iion
of the almost silent crowd. "'
;
Cerabone was followed by Joe
O'Connor, a sophomore from
Smithtown, N. Y., after about two
hours.
"I
knew
I
would lose, but
I just wanted to make a stand,"
O'Connor said.
Anthony Capozzolo
·
,
a
junior
from Parsippany,N.J., and captain
of the debate team, also threaten-
ed the master's king, but lost the
game.
"What can
I
say,
I
play better
with words than I do with chess
pieces," Capozzolo said.
Prochasko was a professional
player and instructor of chess at the
University of California in
Berkeley from 1974 to 1978. Dur-
ing this time he served as the presi-
dent of the Northern California
Chess Association and director of
the National Telephone Chess
League.
He moved to Dutchess County in
1978.
Since then, he has won the
Dutchess County Chess Champion-
ships twice and led his team to vic-
tory at the Hudson Valley League
Championships. He was the assis-
tant director of the U.S. Chess
Federation, headquartered in New
Windsor, N.Y.
Prochasko gave up professional
chess in 1982 to enter the insurance
and financial advisement business,
and now plays in tournaments
"just for fun."
Prochasko, whose father got him
into the game at age four, is now
ranked in the top two percent of
about 70,000 rated chess players.
"No one gets good without prac-
tice, and that's what this (fhursday
night's challenge) was for me,"
Prochasko said.
The challenge to the students was
sponsored by College Activities and
Craig Fisher, an assistant computer
information systems professor at
Marist, who is president of the
Poughkeepsie Chess Club and
director of the U.S. Chess
Federation.
"It
was wonderful to see that so
many students showed up when
Marist does not have an establish-
ed chess club," Prochasko said.
Fisher is, however, in the process
of establishing a chess club at
Marist, and expects it to begin
soon. This club could host tour-
naments, compete against other
schools or play in intramural chess,
according to Fisher.
"We could have a really good
team," Fisher said. "The students
were very enthusiastic, got great en-
joyment from it, never said die,
and were generally quite im-
pressive."
Prochasko said several of the
students could be champions with
proper guidance.
Nothing to fear from water
"There's a parasite in the
water-." "There's a tapeworm in
the water." "Two Marist students
went to Saint Francis because they
got tapeworm from the water."
Those are some of the rumors
that were flying around Marist for
th~ last couple of weeks. There's no
need to worry, they're not true.
According to Peter Mack, a
Public Health Sanitarian
at
the
Dutchess County Department of
Health, someone in the area appar-
rcnt\y
heard part of a news report
about parasites in drinking water
and assumed it was tapeworm.
The parasite in question is call-
ed giardia,
a
microscopic prot~-
zoan that is commonly found in
small mammals, like the raccoon
and the muskrat. These mammals
excrete into bodies of water which
puts the giardia into the water. One
of the stages of the giardia is call-
ed
a cyst.
When a human ingests the pro-
tozoan or the cyst, it can cause
giardiasis.
While there may be no symp-
toms .of giardiasis, heavy infections
have led to chronic diarrhea, ab-
.
.
dorninal cramps; bloatingdW~rnia,
fatigue and weight loss. According
to Mack, the disease is self-limiting
and the protozoan eventually die.
There is practically no chance of
getting giardiasis in Poughkeepsie,
according to Mack. The local water
supply is taken into the water
works plant from 40 feet deep iii
the Hudson River. Also, if by some
chance the water works plant does
get the parasite from the Hudson,
it is taken out because the plant
uses both a chlorination and a
filtration process to make the water
drinkable.
According to Doug Fairbanks,
Chief Operator at the Poughkeep-
sie Water Works plant, it is not ·
probable the water could be
infected.

Students resuscitate
Marist literary club
by
TYLER
GRONBACH
Staff Writer
A group of Marist students are breathing new life into a club
that died last year due to lack of interest.
"We are an old club, getting a fresh start," said Janet DeSimone,
president of the revised literary club, The Mind's Eye, which replac-
ed The Literary Society.
The club members are currently working with the administra-
tion to develop a new format for the club. It is a change that is
necessary, said vice president, Jason SuttHe.
_
"The old club lacked student interest," said Suttile. "So we
figured if we came up with some new ideas the club may once again
be popular."
.
Desimone and Suttile said the club needed help. The past presi-
dent was the only member of the club and had trouble meeting
the club's responsibilities. One of which is Marist's literary
magazine, The Mosaic, that features works by students
an~
facult:r.
"When we took over the club we realized that last year s Mosaic
had not been finished yet," said DeSimone, "and now we just
finished that one and are in the process of putting togther the next
one."
-
.
Last year's Mosaic is currently available and the new one 1s ex-
pected on April 21.
Getting out the The Mosaic is not the only responsibility of the
cl~.
.
They plan to have poetry readings, guest speakers, an~ organize
community events. One event in the planning stages 1s set for
Disability Week, April
2-6.
An
art and poetry exposition of disabled
children's works will be displayed in the Campus Center.
"You have to do your homework to pass the test," said
DeSimone. "And by organizing different events we hope to keep
students interested."
-
·
·
Restarting a club can have its peaks, but also its valleys, said
Suttile.
"We have had a limited turnout so far, but the students that
.
have joined are great." said Suttile. "It is really difficult to find
people who will work hard."
"Initially we-had a lot of interest," said DeSimone, "but as soon
as they found out they aren't going to gain any personal benefits,
they never come back."
Ellen Mooney, a junior from Greenlawn,
N.Y.,
said she is serious
about the club.
·
"I
knew they needed help,'~ said Mooney, "and I want to help
build a better program, with more activities."

THE CIRCLE, FEBRUARY 22~
1990
Former Marist brothers:
by
JANET RY AN
Staff Writer
Today Jeptha Lanning is married with
children, but it wasn't always this way.
Lanning, chairman of the Division of Arts
and Letters, was
a
Marist Brother until
1972,
and until then was under the solemn vows
of the order, as outlined by the Vatican.
According to Lanning these vows includ-
ed vows of poverty, chastity (no marriage)
and obedience to the order.
Lanning later receieved dispensation for
vows, allowing him to marry and acquire
property.
Until
1963,
men who entered the
brotherhood were required to stay there.
If
they chose to leave the brotherhood, they
also had to leave the college.
However, in
1963
the Vatican Council
II
gave the brothers a chance to leave the order
and pursue other interests without any hard
feelings from the church
.
The commitments were attested to by the
taking of simple vows as opposed to solemn,
as it was with Lanning.
The modern institutes were often groups
of laymen or laywomen who were making
commitments to a specific type of work
in
the church.
Marist brothers are a religious congrega-
tion which was founded for education. The
Marist brothers took simple vows dedicated
to the education of youth, said Vice Presi-
dent and Dean of Student Affairs Gerard
Cox, who is a former Marist brother himself.
When Vatican Council
II
took place and
new directions were given for all members
of the church, significant changes were call-
ed for.
"Whether or not
I
would work to bring
about these changes as a member of the com-
munity of brothers or
as
an individual
layman was a decision each one had to
make," said Cox.
"I
along with many others chose to work
for these changes as an individual," Cox
said.
Leaving the brotherhood was not a rejec-
tion of anything, it was
a
step in one's per-
sonal growth development, said Cox.
Although
Cox has left the
brotherhood, he has retained close friend-
ships and ties, and is supportive of the
brothers and their works.
"I strongly support the tradition and
heritage of Marist College, especially the
values given to the college by the founding
brothers," said Cox.
"The structures available in religious life
seemed more relevant for a previous era
rather than the era now," said Kevin
Carolan, associate professor.
"I
didn't regret being a brother or leav-
ing the order. The ideals
I
had while in the
order
I
still have and
I
'm happy
I
was ex-
posed to many of the ideals of the Marist
Brothers," said Carolan.
The Vatican
II
caused a great climate of
openness. Earlier it was seen as inappropriate
to leave the brotherhood, according to
Laurence Sullivan, assistant professor.
"I
had no regrets.
I
felt very good about
the way my direction has evolved," said
Sullivan.
.
In Esopus New York, was a high school
in which the students were trained to become
Marist Brothers. When they finished the
training program, they went to Marist
College.
"There was a disintegrations in the Marist
Brothers community life, and
I
decided it
was better not to live this way," said
Augustine
J.
Nolan, professor of
communications.
"I
have no regrets about leaving the
brotherhood, I am still very active with the
Marist Brothers," said Nolan.
There is a newsletter which is sent out to
200
former Marist Brothers to keep updates
on what is happening.
"The relationships between the former
brothers are still very close and continue to
grow stronger each day," said Nolan.
The Marist College organization has
grown bigger. There are different levels and
the administration and the staff is much
larger today.
There is still and effort to maintain the
Marist mission statement which sets the goals

Lunch on the run: Snack

by
MATTHEW WARD
Staff Writer
There's a small crack in
,
the left wind-
shield a hole in the seat and the sweet smell
of lu;ch on the grill.
. ,
This is what it's like at George Newkirk s
mobile restaurant located across from the
Gartland Commons Apartments on Rou~e 9.
This restaurant, which resembles a trailer,
has a menu which includes such fare as
cheesesteaks and hotdogs.
"They (Newkirk's) cheesesteaks ar~ the
best
I've ever
had," said senior Mark Mill~;
"I
used to wake up and ~o for breakfast.
This
is

pos.5ible
as
Newkirk
is
there
from 10:45a.m. to
1 :30
p.m. weekdays, pro-
vided the weather is
good.
.
,
Not all of Marist is aware of Newkirk s
ex- ,
istence, however.
.. Just
before the
college closed last
year'
four
girls
came
over
and
said 'We
just found
out you were here,' " Newkirk said.
Recognition is not Newkirk's main
catalyst, though, but instead just an ap-
preciation of his work.
"I really enjoy it", George says with
a
smile, "not too many people like their job."
This comes from
a
man who wakes up at
five in the morning to get ready for the day.
Newkirk, a 14-year veteran of the trade,
makes his own cheesesteaks, sealing the
cheese in the middle.
"l
boil everything to get the grease out,"
said George. This is a man who takes pride
in his work.
Newkirk is already on his fourth truck.
Before coming to Marist, he parked at the
Bradlees up the road.
Most
of the meals at Newkirk's restaurant
cost about $2, and the portions are
substantial.
So if you happen by the window, don't be
afraid to knock. George is inside with the
kerosene heater, listening
to
the
radio.

Health Services has been doing more
than most of us ever knew.
For the last four years, a visiting nurse
practitioner has been visiting the cam-
pus weekly for consultation with female
students. Among other services, she pro-
vides prescriptions for the birth control
pill, and when available, the pill itself.
This practice and the other efforts of
Health Services to promote sexual
responsibility are admirable and
necessary. Too bad it has been virtually
the least known service on campus.
No mention of any gynecological ser-
vice is made in the Student Handbook
ot college catalogue.:
This
·
'
:
significant:
omission makes Student Affairs officials
look like they don't want to admit of-
fe.ring assistance to sexually active
students.
Their concern is understandable, and
discretion is prudent. But it makes no
sense to off er a service that is only
available to students who hear about it
through word of mouth.
According to the Office of Student
Affairs, there isn't enough room in the
handbook to list all the services. That's
an understatement; the concise descrip-
tion of Health Services in the handbook
says practically nothing.
Even a brief mention in the handbook
of the availability of gynecological ser-
vices -
a barely adequate first step -
would do more to promote the goals of
Health Services than is being achieved
now.
Any mention of birth control pills,
condoms or sex and students always ig-
nites controversy. Student Affairs ad-
ministrators know they can't ignore the
subject, but any admission of the sex-
ual activity of Marist students causes the
ground to shake under the statue of
Marcellin Champgnat. Unfortunately,
this campus winces when it has to con-
front the situation.

a proud piece of Marist he chose not to show

that week's edition of The
Circle.
That issue contained a feature on the
debate team, which had moved into second
place in the nation. In the article, Mr.
Springston commented on the supremacy of
the Marist team and its ability to conquer the

LETTERS To THE EDITOR
Commencement concerns
Editor:
In the Feb. 8 issue of.The Cir-
cle, suggestions were made about
the arrangements for. the 1990
Commencement. Some possibilities
included the Champagnat parking
lot or the Mccann lot.
Much concern revolved around
the lack of space that the Dyson
Center construction project would
pose and it appeared that the Com-
mencement Committee would like
to select a place for the ceremonies
that would be permanent.
Therefore, I am taking this op-
portunity to offer some suggestions
both for the upcoming ceremonies
and for my own next May.~_
The Leonidoff Field -
It was
mentioned that this could become
messy in the event of rain. The
solution? Put a tent up over the
selected area. This would keep the
ground dry in the event of rain.
The bleachers on the field would
provide extra space for guests,
while the Mccann Center would
provide more than adequate
facilities.
The Mccann Parking Lot -
Since the lot
is
paved, there would
be no worries about the soaked
ground. Also, the view of the river
and bridge, McCann's facilities and
ample room for the graduates and
their guests.
A drawback to the Mccann lot
might be a lack of parking, but
Champagnat, Donnelly and even
Marist East lots should provide
enough space for cars of guests.
Inside the Mccann Center has
been the location for previous
ceremonies and was even con-
sidered for this year's Commence-
ment. Aside from· providing pro-
tection from the elements, Mccann
has limited space for the graduates
and their guests and has poor ven-
tilation even with the doors open.
The most practical option, it
seems, is to hold the ceremonies
outdoors in some capacity.
These are only some of the
possibilities that might be practical
with the limited availability of out-
door space. I hope that these
recommendations might be of help
in making the decision for the loca-
tion of the ceremonies both for this
year and in the future.

Truth in Advertising
Editor:
I
am a
freshman and
I
would
like to take this opportunity to
voice some serious concerns
I
have
. about the condition of
this
college
and
its
future.
When
I
first came to Marist,
I
at-
tempted to involve myself in a
variety of activities from day one.
I
campaigned for the office of vice
president of the freshman class,
tried out for the fall tennis team
and attempted to get on the staff
of The Circle. To say that I was
hindered from joining these clubs
and organizations would be a
drastic understatement.
After trying
for
two solid weeks
in
the fall to find out about the ten-
nis tryouts and to see
if
I would
need to change my schedule in
order to accommodate practices, I
discovered that the men's team
didn't have a coach and the
woman's coach would conduct the
practices. I don't have a problem
with a woman for a coach; I have
a problem with an intercollegiate
sport that doesn't have its own
coach!
I
attended every meeting the
newspaper held during the fall
semester. After attempting to
become involved and finally being
assigned a story to write in mid-
November, I successfully com-
pleted a story and gave it to the
newspaper's faculty adviser. The
Circle had two separate occasions
to publish this story and didn't;
furthermore, I received no feed-
back whatsoever concerning my
story.
To add to my frustration, I
wanted to write for the sports page
and telephoned the sports editor
and asked The Circle editors
repeatedly to have him contact me.
I
received only one phone call, at
which time
I
was told that
I
would
. be put
'in
charge of covering a
story. Needless to say, this never
occurred.
We have a newspaper that claims
it wants to get freshman writers
started and involved, and yet this
freshman writer got nothing.
My last concern is about the
communication
arts
program. Why
does a school that claims to have
one of the premier communications
programs in the country have a
radio station that only six people
hear and which requires a cable
hookup to receive?
Why do we have a television club
that has had its equipment stolen
-
and then not replaced -
and
which doesn't produce shows that
can
be
seen on local cable television
because of lack of funding?
Now is the time when the college
is increasing its enrollment and at-
tempting to become a major in-
stitution that we, the student body,
should question and constructive-
ly criticize our school and its
apathetic attitude toward its
students and organizations. Marist
would be much better if it gave its
students the kind of college ex-
perience that it advertises.

Gorbachev stands tall
before new troubles
by
TINA LA VALLA
With the revolutionary changes sweeping over the
Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Mikhail Gorbachev
faces an unprecedented challenge that no single leader
has had to face in more than a century. the problems
that Gorbachev will have to solve undoubtedly will
have far-reaching consequences all over the world, but
what everyone is waiting to see is if he can survive.
Gorbachev started transforming the communist
world by first opening up political discussion (better
known as glasnost), initiating internal economic
reforms (perestroika), and announcing intentions to
reduce Soviet troops in the Eastern Bloc.
The results of Gorbachev's loose rein on power have
already been enormous, and far more extensive than
anyone ever imagined. The revolutions in former
Soviet satellites such as Poland, East Germany,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria
have shocked the world in a matter of months.
This tide of change has even prompted the Soviet
Union itself to make plans for a multiparty system.
Who would have ever predicted these historical
changes a_ few years ago? Indeed, even the most op-
timistic outlooks for the communist world could not
have foreseen these events.
But how powerful will Gorbachev become as he
begins to shift the Soviet Union towards democracy?
Some experts claim that he will have to step down as
the chairman of the Communist Party
as
the full
democratic swing gets underway.
In the next couple of weeks, problems such as
creating a presidential type of government and legaliz-
ing the multiparty system will begin.
Obviously, the immediate concerns of the Soviet
citizens are the shortages of consumer goods that have
gotten worse since perestroika got underway. If Gor-
bachev fails to meet their demands, how can he
possibly succeed elsewhere?
In addition, Gorbachev faces ethnic clashes in
several southern republics. The most troublesome of
these national disputes have been in Latvia and
Lithuania, not
to
mention other troubled republics
such as Estonia and Georgia.
The cry for independence in these republics has
seriously challenged Gorbachev's power, and, especial-
ly recently, have show that local -
instead of national
-
authorities, have been the most decisive factors in
negotiations.
A conservative movement in the Soviet Union also
poses a considerable threat to Gorbachev. The leaders
of this movement claim that their support is from a
broad-based circle around the country, and that they
will show their strength in the upcoming March
4
elections.
The conservatives object to the idea of private
pro-
perty, and say that it can only lead to "anarchy and
unemployment."
Gorbachev's enemies and numerous problems
within the communist bloc threaten his survival as one
of the most celebrated figures of the decade. But most
of us want him to succeed, to see him push his revolu-
tionary ideas further and defy the odds against him.
Of all the challenges ever faced by a Soviet leader,
the ones Gorbachev is currently staring at undoubtedly
take the prize.
They predict he will have to step aside, or be swept
away.

Getting the real
story
behind the Irish
myth
Contrary to popular op101on,
people in Ireland don't really say,
; \
"Top o' the mornin' to ya."
That phrase was started by Barry
Fitzgerald, an Irishman who began '->:.
an acting career at Dublin's Abbey
Theatre and whose characters on
stage represented the Irish people
to many audiences around the
world years ago.
And while we're on the subject,
Ilse
Martin
the Irish race is not one of red-
haired, freckled-faced, or red-nosed people walking
around in fisherman sweaters and wool caps.
Yes, there are a good amount who fit that descrip-
tion,
but the majority are pale-faced, dark-haired and
blue-eyed.
The fisherman sweaters are here, too, but mainly
for sale to the tourists. Supposedly, years ago, a fisher-
man wore the knitted pattern that was unique to his
county, so that
if
he was found drowned at sea, the
authorities would know where he was from.
The red-haired Irish around today might just be
animated proof of the existance of the Vikings, their
anscestors, who invaded Ireland in 795 A.D.
The Vikings brought with them the concepts of
towns and commerce, and in 841 established this ci-
ty, calling it Dubh Linn, the Black Pool.
But there is no mistaking the Irish. They are a peo-
ple of words -
written and spoken -
wit and
fellowship. They have produced the writers of poetry
plays and novels which have characterized and
depicted the stories of Ireland's people and culture.
W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, Shaw, Wilde, O'Casey,
Synge and Sam Beckett, their works tell of the irony
of the country's poverty against a background of a
rich landscape, and of the unique perspective its peo-
ple have on life and their ability to laugh at themselves.
In Ireland you are likely to find yourself in a good
debate with strangers, learn more about the country
and hear plenty of new opinions. The word is impor-
tant. The Irish love a good argument and \\ill say
anything to get you going.
You'd be hard-pressed to win an argument with one
of the Irish. Yes, they are stubborn. And insistent. But
in the end they're always laughing and giving you a
pat on the back.
My cousins are the same. I visited with them last
weekend -
Dub liners of the Stillorgan section. They
Dateline:
Dublin
served the traditional Irish meal:
roast of Iamb with mint jelly,
potatoes, carrots and mushy peas.
After dinner, they took me out
to the local pub, of course, and we
argued about the differences bet-
ween the United States and Ireland,
topics on which I've built up a lot
of ammunition.
Argue may not be the right word
here, for in Ireland's pubs it's a sin
to be serious, my cousin said.
·
Also, an Irish writer, John McCarthy, once said:
"A cardinal Irish rule is that what is said when drink
is taken is never repeated the next day or held against
you. In fact, even in court, the best defense the ac-
cused can offer is, 'Drink was taken."'
He said it;
I
didn't.
Ireland's culture may be in its pubs, but any native
who heard me say that would wince. They wouldn't
want you to think that all the Irish do is drink. It isn't.
O.K.,
so maybe there are over 11,000 pubs in
Ireland. Some say that there is one pub for every 50
people, in theory.
But the pub is the feeding ground for story-telling,
humor, conversation, comraderie and back-slapping.
And the Irish do it well. It's their biggest form of enter-
tainment, the national pasttime, you might say.
They would much rather banter at the pub most of
the time, rather than at films or plays. And even if
they are going to the cinema or theatre, they.go to the
pub beforehand.
Thirty years ago you might have been entertained
by writers Brendan Behan,
Patrick
Kavanaugh, and
Fiann O'Brien at a popular watering hole in the city
center. Ironically, all three died of alcoholism in the
1960's.
That night after the pub with my cousin, after the
publican yelled, "Time, folks, time," at 11:30, my
cousin asked me if I wanted some fish and chips. Fish
and chips! After lamb and potatoes and a few pints
of Guinness?
"No thanks, really," I said.
"Ah, ya'II have some, whether ya like it or not."
Stubborn Irishman.

Leary recalled
an
article in USA
Today a year: ago which stated that
a large university of
25,000

"That's impossible and is not

we're going to do it right. Our

Leary.
Steve Sansola, director of hous-

I think security is very vigilant in

Sansola.
GOVERNMENT
Continued from page 1
mainframe proposal has received a
favorable, yet unofficial, response
from the administration.
Further improvements could be
implemented if more students voic-
ed their opinion to CSL leaders,
Desmond said.
Desmond said that the CSL rela-
tionship with the administration is
one that would allow any
reasonable, justifiable student pro-
posal to be passed. Because so few
students voice their opinions,
however, the power of the CSL to
push proposals through is kept in
check.
"Real power is persuasion,"
Desmond said. "To use power ef-
fectively is to persuade the ad-
ministration that, 'Yes the students
need this.' The more people you get
the more persuasion you have, but
you handcuff yourself when peo-
ple won't come forward."
Desmond does concede that the
ratio of student leaders to students,
1 to 695, may smother the students'
true voice.
He said he would like to increase
the membership of the CSL and
establish a new executive board
which would include the president
of each class and representatives
from major clubs.
Students interviewed seem to
support Desmond's ideas.
"I think that if there was more
student representation in the
government, the government
would be more effective and more
popular," said Jim Porter, a junior
from Long Island.
Despite the currently lopsided
student-to-student-leader ratio,
however,
Desmond insists that
CSL could exercise much more of
its power if everyone on both the
students'
and the
student
govern-
ment's sides worked a little harder.

He suggested that he buy some
drinks; we didn't object.
We spoke of the changes at the
school, the changes on the hoop
team and the changes of the
barometric pressure in the West
Indies.
We told him of our impending
graduation and our future plans.
That segment was relatively
brief.
He couldn't recall who his com-
mencement speaker was, but was
curious to know who ours was.
This was probably done to gauge
the school's apparent growth and
its ability to lure well-known,
highly-regarded individuals.
When I bleakly stated that no
one had yet been selected, my in-
ner brain started whirring with ·
potential ideas.
I mentally exited the Blarney
Stone and found my sub-concious
gazing into a crystal ball.
Who could Marist get that would
be both highly interesting and easi-
ly relatable to both the graduates
as well as family and friends?
I mentally compiled a top 10,

Dorn and O'Toole said Furey's
car was blocking the gate when
they tried to get to Le9 Hall for a
fire alarm. After Dorn tapped on
his car window, Furey got out and
started "flailing" his arms and yell-
ing at Dorn not to touch his car,
they said.
Dorn said he accidentally hit
Furey with his flashlight as he tried
to protect himself. Dorn said Furey
then struck him to the ground,
kicked him several times and also
hit O'Toole as O'Toole tried to
stop him.
Furey said he was dropping off

.
Furey said after
Dorn struck his car several times,
he got out and was struck unex-
pectedly by Dorn.
Furey said he asked why Dorn
hit him and what he hit him with.
He said Dorn threatened to hit him
again and raised the light. Furey
said he struck Dorn in self defense.
Furey denied kicking Dorn and hit-
ting O'Toole.
O'Neill, Fure~••s attorney, said
the charges should be dropped
because Furey was "struck in the
face with a flashlight without pro-
vocation" and said Furey struck
Dorn because Dorn threatened him
again.
O'Neill
said
the student
who was
with Furey and another student,
who witnessed the incident from
Marian, will back up Furey's
story.
Furey said he will press charges
against Dorn and the college if he
is not acquitted. He is scheduled to
appear

court March

However,
according
to
Matusiewicz, the misconceptions
have influenced the attitudes of
family, friends, and most impor-
tant, those involved in psychiatrk
services.
"Psychiatric professionals, like
the general public, are also guilty
of often forgetting that a patient is
an individual with a unique per-
sonality and unique needs," said
Edward Wilcenski, assistant direc-
tor for consumer and family ad-
vocacy at H.R.P.C.
Instead of relating to patients as
people, many professionals
can
on-
ly view them from a clinical
perspective, Wilcenski said.
A number of patients have also
voiced these concerns, but from a
somewhat different respect.
"Many clients feel they are not
allowed to express
·their
emotions
in a completely human way,"
Wilcenski said.
"If
a patient is
angry and has a very legitimate
reason for that anger, he is often
afraid to display his feelings for
fear they will be misinterpreted as
violent or aggressive behavior, in-
dicative of deteriorating mental
stability.''.
However, most people would be
expected to get angry, said Joan
Hearn, director of support services
at Hudson River. But, despite this
negative evidence, things may tum
for the better, Hearn said.
The consumer advocacy move-
ment, which
began
about five years
ago, has started to exert an in-
fluence on the psychological com-
munity as well as the general
public, Heam said.
The movement views the patient
as a consumer of mental health ser-
vices who deserves the same rights
as any consumer, she said.
Instead of patients reflecting a
dependent role, the goal of the
movement is to put them back in
charge of their ov.n lives, including
their psychiatric treatment and
rehabilitation plan. Hearn added.
Today, the philosophy is that the
mentally ill are just that -
ill.
"They deserve the same respect
and human dienitv that we all
deserve, and if the' consumer ad-
vocacy movement continues
to
grow at the rate it has over the past
couple of years, I have no doubt
they will achieve it,·• said
Wilcenski.

"This was the most intense we've
played in a few games," he said.
"Our defense was a real key and
we were able to create our own
breaks, this was an important win
for us."
Last Thursday, Marist was
defeated by James Madison

"We had

novers killed us," Magarity said.

17
turnovers enroute to losing their
third straight game to the Dukes.

fense with 16 points and Ted

Refering to the game tonight,
Magarity said, "Its a real big ball
game for us -
no doublt about it.
We need to play well before the
tournament, and
I
think we will -
we'll bounce back."
Sharpenter, one of the three
seniors to be honored before tip-
off, agrees with Magarity. -
"This game is a big one now that
we lost this one," he said. "We just
have to come out and do it."
"It
is crunch time and we need
to come out intense and play a full
40 minutes of basketball. We need

Lax gearing up
for tough season
by
JAY REYNOLDS
Sports Editor
With just over two weeks remaining before the start of the lacrosse
season, the team is looking at one of its toughest seasons yet.
Two of the toughest games on the schedule are the opener March
IO
against St. John's and the final game of the season against the Universi-
ty of Maryland-Baltimore County.
UM-BC last just three games last season -
each loss was to a team
ranked in the nation's top 10.
Despite the tough opener against the Redmen, Marist coach Mike Malet
said he is optimistic about the season as a whole.
"We have a Jot of talent this year," he said. "This may be the best
team that Marist has ever had. However, this is also the toughest
schedule."
Marist has matchups against tough non-league opponents like Albany
State, Canisus and Siena as well as games against strong conference rivals
like Keene and Pace.
Although the team has lost some players from last year's team, there
is still some talent left, according to captian Alex Messuri.
"Of course we lost some players to graduation," he said. "But the
nucleus of the team is still strong. I think we are going to surprise a lot
of people.
"We've got experience at every position but the new guys are really
pushing hard which has made the competition in practice much more
intense."
In preparation for the upcoming season, the Red Foxes will scrimmage
Rockland Community College on Tuesday and Oneonta on March
3.
A scrimmage such as the one against Rockland provides an extra
workout for the players, ~ccording to Malet.
.
"It gets everyone on the field and gives them some practice," he said.
", "It's a chance to get out and run against people other than ourselves."

The spring practices have pushed the team into the attitude it needs

Cagers lose key
NEC contest
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Staff
Writer
The men's basketball team ran
into a steamroller Monday night at
the McCann Center.
Robert Morris College came to
town and played a near-perfect
game to hand Marist an 82-68 loss.
The loss is the Red Foxes' fourth
in their last five games and drops
them to 15-10 overall and 8-6 in the
Northeast Conference. Robert
Morris increased their mark to 18-7
with a 10-4 NEC mark. The Col-
onials are in second place behind
Monmouth while Marist is in
fourth place.
For an 18-minute stretch begin-
ing with five minutes remaining in
the first half, Robert Morris
outscored Marist
25-5
and never
looked back.
"They
played a perfect game,"
said Marist coach Dave Magarity.
"We hit a steamroller and just
couldn't recover - they did a great
job."
The Colonials, who shot 67 per-
cent from the floor, were led by
point guard Andre Boyd who
scored 22 points while handing out
four assists.
"Andre did a great job for us,"
said Robert Morris coach Jarrett
Durham. "He was able to open up
the outside with
·
his shooting and
that helped to open things up on
the inside."
Robert Morris was able to break
the Red Foxes' pressure and score
some easy baskets.
"They were prepared for the
pressure and
·
they finished it off
real well," Magarity said.
Anthony Dickens hauled down
10 rebounds for the Colonials and
also handed out five assists.
Marist was led
.
by Curtis
Celestine and Andy Lake who
scored 13 points apiece. Steve
Paterno ancl Ted Sharpenter each
added 10.
"They passed the ball real well,
we couldn't stop them," Magarity
said. "They were better than any
team we have played all year - in-
cluding Georgia Tech."
Saturday night, the Red Foxes
snapped a three-game losing streak
by defeating St. Francis (Pa.) 59-57
at the McCann Center.
"It
was a must win for
us,
it real-
ly was," he said. "After dropping
three in a row, we needed a lift and
we got it tonight."
Despite leading by 1
_
2 points with
10 minutes left in the first half,
Marist found itself trailing by two
at the midway point, 30-28.
"They took us out of the flow
and we started to turn the ball over
and we let
them
get right back in
it," Magarity said.
The Red Foxes fell behind by
four with 11: 12 left in the game
when Magarity called time-out.
"I
could sense something, we
needed to get back on track," he
said.
Following the time out, Paterno
buried his fifth 3-pointer of the
game to bring the Foxes within
one. Henderson then made a con-
ventional
three
point play and put
Marist up by two.

then Paterno hit another trey and
Andy Lake also connected from
long range to put the Red Red
Foxes back up by one, a lead they
would not relinquish.
Curtis Celestine connected on
the front end of
a
one-and-one with
six seconds remaining to keep
Marist up by two. A last second at-
tempt from St. Francis failed.
Paterno led the Red Foxes with
23 points and Celestine added with
11 points while pulling down a
career-high 17 rebounds.
Joey O'Connor handed out
seven assists and also held Red
Flash top scorer Mike luzzolino to
18 points.
''Joey did a great job, he played
solid defense on luzzolino and he
did a good job of running our of-
fense," Magarity said.

JAY REYNOLDS
Sports
Editor
With just four games left in
the season, the Marist hockey
team is in good position.
The Red Foxes are 7-1 in their
conference (10-3 overall) and in
first place.
·
And last Saturday the Red
Foxes
continued
their
dominance as they came from
behind to down Kingspoint 6-3
at the Mid-Hudson Civic
Center.
Marist took an early lead on
a goal by captain Steve Murray
but fell behind on three
unanswered Kingspoint goals.
Marist assistant captain Kevin
Walsh said it
was
just a matter
of the Red Foxes' needing to get
started.
"We really came out flat," he
said. "But we
·
started to get
moving in the second period
and by late -in the second, we
had gotten it together.
"I
think we tend to play at
the level of our competition,"
he said.
"We
were playing great
in Connecticut."
The Red Foxes lost a 3-2 deci-
sion at Southern Connecticut
University Feb. 11 when
Southern scored a goal with just
two seconds remaining in the
game.
Walsh said he believes one of
the key points of the game
against Kingspoint
was
one of
John Walker's two goals.
Walker beat the defense late
in the second period and then
cut toward the net. When the
Kingspoint defense tried to
compensate for its mistake, a
collision occured in which the
goalie's stick was snapped in
half -
allowing Walker to put
the puck in the net.
"That was definately a turn-
ing point," he said. "That really
got the team going."
The Red Foxes have four
games remaining -
including
two on the road this week.
Although the team must re-
main cautious, Walsh says the
Red Foxes are confident about
finishing well.
"We can't -look ahead of
ourselves," he said. "But we do
have the momentum working
for us."
Marist travels to face New
York University tonight and
Fordham on Saturday.
The Red Foxes then return to
the Mid-Hudson Civic Center to
take on Montclair in the last
home game of the season March
.
3.
The Red Foxes close out the
regular season March
4
at
Wagner -
the only team Marist
has lost to in the conference.
The Red Foxes
.dropped
a 7-4
decision in the first game of the
season after police cleared the
stands between the second and
third periods.
Despite the early-season inci-
-
dent, Walsh creditsthe fans for
their support.
"I
think the fans have been
more into it this year than any
year that I've seen - they're up
there cheering -and getting
chants going," said the junior.
Lady Foxes
split big-lead
NEC games
by
·
CHRIS SHEA
Staff
Writer
This past week saw the Marist
women's basketball team open
20-point leads in consecutive
games.
The main difference in the
games, though, is that the Lady
Red Foxes won only one of them.
Sixteen points and 13 rebounds
by senior Kim Smith-Bey paced the
Lady Red Foxes to an easy 82-61
victory over St. Francis (Pa.).
Along with Smith-Bey, junior
Danielle Galarneau had double
figures in points and rebounds with
14 and 11, respectively.
The game was Galarneau's most
productive since the last time she
faced St. Francis (Pa.) on Jan. 18,
when she had 16 points and 16
rebounds.
Coach Ken Babineau said the
win was a much needed one for the
team.
"This game was a team win," he
said. "We kind of gave away the
last game (against Robert Morris)
-
we needed this one."
The win followed a tough defeat
at the hands of Robert Morris last
Thursday.
Marist jumped out to a 25-4 first
half lead against Robert Morris but
was outplayed for the rest of the
game.
The Lady Red Foxes went over
10 minutes in the first half without
making a field goal as the Lady
Colonials went on a 38-11 run.
Robert Morris held on for a
64-56 victory.
Monica O'Halloran lead the
team with 26 points but no other
Marist player was able to reach
double digits in points.
Foul troubles and turnovers were
two areas which hurt Marist.
Starters Danielle Galarneau and
Kim
Smith-Bey both had four fouls
and had to sit down during crucial
times near the end of the game.
Smith-Bey ended up fouling out
with just two points and Galarneau
was forced to play with restraint.
The team also continued to have
trouble by turning the ball over as
the Lady Foxes committed 21
turnovers.
Marist now stands at 9-3 in the
Northeast Conference -
14-8
overall. The squad is in second
place behind Mt. St. Mary's.
This week will be important for
the Lady Foxes' chances of taking
first place in the NEC as they play
three conference games -
two on
the road.

Fans lose out again with latest baseball saga
Get out your key, thelock is on.
Baseball owners locked their
players out of spring training last
Thursday when neither side could
agree ori a new collective bargain-
ing agreement.
The big issue
is
of course,
money. Now isn't that a surprise.
The owners and players are in
disagreement over money and the
fan
is
going to
be
on the losing end
-
again.
The owners don't want to pay
anyone four million dollars to play
a game. However, if one owner
doesn't give the money, another
one will to try and gain the com-
petitive edge. More importantly,
they don't want to give the Mike
Pagliarulos of the game a $575,000
salary.
Arbitration is another disagree-
ment area where there
is
an oppor-
tunity for the player to try and
earn
more money when in disagreement
with the owners.
If
the
two
sides can't
reach
an
agreement,
an unbiased arbitrator
who knows nothing about baseball
is brought in to make the decision.
The players now want to become
eligible for arbitration after only
playing for two seasons.
The players also say that the
owners are making more than ever
and that there should be a share-
the-wealth attitude.
Wrong.
The owners are trying -
they
really are. By not opening spring
training they are showing that they
are standing firm on their position.
They won't give in this time.
The two sides need to come
together on their own.
An
outside
force, not even the commissioner,
can
settle this one. There is no way
to tell just when an agreement will
be
reached.
Take a look at some of the
figures from last season:
How important is a stolen
base?

man" Henderson, everytime he
stole a base last season, he earned

Quarterback
Wins are of course the most im-
portant thing in baseball. Without
wins, a
team is in the cellar.
Without wins, Bret Saberhagen
is broke. The two-time
Cy Young
A ward winner tallied 23 wins last
season and that translates into
$57,609 for each one.
Of course, without v.ins, there
would
be
no sa,.-es.
Without saves, Royal relief man
extrodinaire Marie Davis would be
out $13,636
per
opportunity.
Using
simple
arithmetic.
something
the
owners are
becom-
ing real good at, if Davis saves a
game for Saberhagen, the Royals
are out a quick $71,345.
Staying with the Royals -
and
the Raiders -
for a moment, Bo
knows money. When playing both
sports, Jackson makes $28,558 per
week!
Where would the game be
without strikeouts?
Without strikeouts, "Rocket"
Roger aemens of the Red
Sox
would be back on the farm.
Clemens deposited $10,000 for
every
"K"
that he recorded.
Jim Rice made $786,583 for each
home run he hit for Boston -
all
three of them.
Enough said.
The Mets have a lot more money
to spend these days.
With the
Joss
of
Gary
Caner and
Keith Hernandez -
and boy
won't they be missed -
M~
management will have an extra
S4,198,S72
to play v.ith.
Maybe
they
can
invest in a
stadium that
doesn't ,;ive
JFK
flight plans inside each game day
program.
Do you remember Scott
McGregor?
I
didn't think so -
the
former Oriole ace was released in
May 1988.
Give McGregor some credit
though -
he signed a guaranteed
contract which paid
him
$1,200,000
last year and he didn't throw a
single pitch.
The same goes for
LaMarr
Hoyt.
The former drug addict and relief
ace of the White Sox, Hoyt was
paid $1,100,000 last year. And peo-
ple wonder how these guys become
addicted to drugs!
If
salaries continue to rise,
I
worry when thinking about the day
my son comes to me and asks:
"Dad, how can
I
get rich real
quick'?"
Baseball, son - that's where the
money is!
