Access for the disabled
improves with prompting
',Fighting bias
by
DANIEL HULL
Staff Writer
Students who use wheelchairs us- '
ed to face a double barrier if they
tried to make a call from a house
phone in a Donnelly Hall corridor.
If the outside doors didn't block
them, the phone itself, which hung
too high on the wall, might have.
Now, automatic doors and a
phone mounted lower on the wall
allow students with disabilities to
lift the receiver on their own.
"These are the things that need
to be pointed out, or they're going
to be overlooked," said Brian
Schmidt, a student with a
disability.
Students with disabilities who at-
tend Marist say they are generally
satisfied with the level of access to
campus facilities, although cons
tinued improvement is necessary
before the campus can fully meet
their needs.
There are currently 115 students
in the special services program, in-
cluding about 60 physically disabl-
ed students, according to Diane
Perreira;director· of the program.
Schmidt, a strong advocate of
the disabled who uses a wheelchair,
said Marist officials have been
cooperative, but problems have to
be pointed out first.
When an outside entrance to the
Bookstore accessible to people with
disabilities was,recently removed,
Schmidt complained that it was the
only easily accessible fire exit.
Plans are now being made to make
the door accessibl~ again.
Schmidt said the administration
could save time and money if it
would consult students with
disabilities in construction projects.
Students with disabilities have
spoken out on the issue strongly
and with result. Recently, Anthony
Maggio, a junior with cerebral
palsy, met with President Dennis
Murray and the Buildings and
Grounds Committee to express
concerns on behalf of disabled
students.
Maggio said the meeting was
closed and would not comment on
it.
One of the concerns both Mag-
gio and Schmidt mentioned was the
installation of automatic doors in
the newly renovated Donnelly Hall
and in construction of The Dyson
Center.
Last summer plans to install .
automatic doors in Donnelly Hall
were eliminated from the b119get,
·
After complaints from Maggio and
Schmidt, the plans were reinstated
and the doors were installed last
fall.

Programs seek
more attention
by
DANIEL HULL
Staff Writer
The Marist College Office of
Special Services is sponsoring a
week of activities beginning
Sunday, to heighten awareness
of disabled persons.
Director of Special Services
Diane Perreira said the goal of
Disability Awareness Week is to
provide people with accurate in-
formation about disabilities and
the capabilities of disabled
people.
"We've had Awareness
Weeks in the past years, but this
is the most elaborate week
because we literally have
something going on everyday,''
Perreira said.
Perreira said the public as
well as the Marist community is
invited to all events.

Soviet Union trip helps students
appreciate freedoms back home
by
KERRIANN REILLY
Staff Writer
The Soviet Union isn't exactly the spot most col-
lege students flock to for their spring breaks.
But that didn't stop Casimir Norkeliunas, director
of Russian studies at Marist,. along with three other
faculty members from gathering 62 Marist students
and alumni and showing them the Soviet Union dur-
ing spring break .•
During !heir stay, students got a glimpse of another
part of the world that most don't. But more impor-
tantly, by witnessing this strict and sometimes oppress-
ed Soviet country, they came to appreciate the
freedoms at home, said Norkeliunas.
On March 8, about 15 Marist students traveled to
Helsinki, then to Finland for two days and on to Len-
ingrad where they met some Marist alumni and started
their 1990 Soviet Educational/Friendship Tour.
Norkeliunas has been directing the Soviet tour since
1969. He recalls trips when his students were met on
the plane in Leningrad by armed Soviet soldiers.
Since 1%9 Norkeliunas has voyaged 10 times to the
Soviet Union, cancelling other trips because of Soviet
and European unrest.
· "The trip is taken every year not to discourage
Soviet relationships because of security, but to
remind
students to appreciate their own country - a country
that will be with us forever," said Norkeliunas.
This year years students were also met by Soviet
soldiers dressed in long and dark colored garb.
As the students walked off the plane they saw a
silent and suppressed Russia, said senior Frank
Benvenuto of Staten Island,
N.Y.
"It was a hard concept to see military men prac-
tically every 10 feet from where we were," Benvenuto
said. "We really couldn't make a move without them
- without being under a constant watchful eye," said
Benvenuto.
The next thing students noticed was the poor
economy and living conditions through the army
surplus department stores and ill-treated grocery stores
they saw in Moscow and Leningrad.
"It is so obvious that most of the country's money
is spent on military
power
because walking along the
streets in Moscow and Leningrad is like stepping back
in time," Benvenuto said.
"It
really was a third world country," said Senior
Mary Polese of Brick N.J. "There were no cash
registers and people waited on line to buy spoiled food.
It
was though they had no concept of food preserva-
tion or modern technology."
Four departments were represented by students, in-
cluding history, business, economics and art.
In Leningrad, the Hermitage Museum showed the
distinction of Russian art. A briefing by an assistant
to the Russian Counsel General provoked political in-
terest, while Lenin's Mausoleum and the Kiev Univer-
sity sparked historical and present interest among the
visiting students. .
Christine Panza, a junior from Holmdel, N.J., felt
uncomfortable when approaching Valdimir Lenin's
tomb.
,She noticed that if she didn't walk fast enough when
people were behind her a soldier encouraged her to
quicken her pace while at the Hermitage Museum.
Kiev University proved to be an interesting venture
for students because they were able to trade stories
and compare countries with Russian students.
"I went with four Ukranian students back to their
"flat" and shared political insights, college stories and·
American ways," said Benvenuto. Students ages rang-
ed from 20-22, and flats resembled American college
apartments, he said.
To lessen that cultural gap, for the first time in 20
years at Marist, Norkeliunas has started an exchange
program with Kiev University where Norkeliunas will
be able to send students abroad to study.
Among other unique experiences, students noticed
how far their money went. They could buy three "big
macs," a couple of hamburgers, fries and a couple
of drinks for about $1.80 in American money.
"Ten dollars and a cartoon of cigarettes could have
gotten you across the country," said Panza.
The Soviet Union's black market along the Russian
streets bombarded the visitors with trading deals and
money exchanges. Students learned first-hand about
the countries struggling economy.

the judges
It'
was the best of times, it was
the worst of times. It all depends
on your point of view.
The Battle of the Bands in this
Lunatic Spring of
1990
was waged
last Saturday night, and I was there
in the thick
of
it. In deep and sink-
ing fast, you could say.
I was joined in the fray by a
band of merry men and women,
singers and players all, and a trio
of unsolicited movers and shakers
who at the very least made our set,
umm ... interesting. We started the
band
(I
think we call it Hot Cross
Bun Monsoon) a few months back
with only four members. It got big-
ger by Saturday night.
By the time we retreated from
the stage
.
(no encore, can you
believe it?); the people onstage out-
numbered the audience at least
three-to-one. The snowball (from
hell) effect.
None of us ever played together
in the same place at the same time
until our fateful moment in the
spotlight, but we had done some
practicing. We might not have been
practicing the same songs, but we
were practicing.
•
As the day approached, we were
anxious. We were psyched up, we
were ready. We were living out our
American rock and roll dream.
We lost.
We didn't even place or show.
The first words out of losers
mouths are very often, "Oh; we
really didn't want to win." Yeah,
whatever. Of course we wanted to
win, we just didn't expect it to
happen.
At least our expectations held
up. Sure, our show was bizarre,
warped, and maybe a bit twisted,
but we had a little fun.
There were difficulties
.
Things
like no two instruments being in
quite the same tune. These cir-
cumstances have a tendency to
make the music sound funny. (Fun-
ny peculiar, not funny ha
·
ha.) Hey,
it was close enough.
Then there was the arrival of the

Features Editor
The :'c•
'
20120·· d~o of Hugh Downs and
Barbara Walters will highlight the Eighth
Annual Lowell Thomas Award Presentation.
•
Walters, who on April 19 will be the first
woman to accept the award, will be joined
by Downs, who will host the event. The
award, which honors the pioneer broadcast
journalist Lowell Thomas, will be given at
a luncheon at the Helmsley Palace in
Manhattan.
The award, which will be presented to
Walte~s by President Dennis J
:
Murray, was
established by the college in 1983 as a salute
to exceptional journalists whose lives mirror
th,e various endeavors of Thomas.
This year's recipient of the Alumni Intern-
ship Achievement Award, which is awarded
during the same ceremony, is Larry Striegel,
.
class of 1979, assistant editor of Newsday.
He also was a reporter and narrator for
numerous NBC News documentaries and
specials, including the Emmy Award-sinning
"The Everglades" (1971).
Downs left the "Today" show in 1971 "to
move on to other things and additional in-
terests," which include teaching, lecturing
.ind private consulting in communications.
More recently, Downs' work on "20/20"
included an interview with the Dalai Lama,
the exiled leader of Tibet, last year.
Striegel was chosen by a nine-member
selection committee which included Robert
Norman, internship coordinator, and Jeptha
Lanning, chairperson of the Division of Arts
and Letters.
Striegel, who was editor of The Circle
while at Marist, interned full-time for the
Associated Press, where he wrote for the
broadcast and newspaper wires. He also in-
terned at the Poughkeepsie Journal
part-time.
Walters; a 14-year veteran of ABC,
celebrated the 50th Barbara Walters Special
in 1~~8, having interviewed such per-
sonaltt1es as Audrey Hepburn, Eddie Mur-
phy and Tom Hanks.
Hugh Downs
Barbara Walters
Criteria for the award include being a
Marist student for at least 2 years,
culminating in graduation; earning at least
12 credit hours at a Marist intern site; receiv-
ing a positive recommendation from the site
supervisor, and a visible understanding of the
experience through a final project.
In addition to delving into the lives of
entertainers, Walters is known for her inter-
.
views with such political elusives as PLO
leader Y asir Arafat, Fidel Castro and Mourn-
mar Quadaffi.
Like Walters, Downs is a veteran of the
broadcast journalism. He hosted the NBC
News "Today" program from 1962 to
1971.
Palm Sunday registration plan
targets problem of absenteeism
by
TOM HANNA
Staff
Reporter
Juniors will not only wait on line
for palms next Sunday, they will
also be waiting on line to register
for classes.
All members of the junior class
will register for classes for the fall
1990 semester on April 8, between
12:30 p.m. and s
·
p.m
.
, as a result
of a decision made by the divisional
chairpersons.
According to Judy lvankovic
registrar, factors influencing
th~
decision were the lack of free slots
in the class schedule and other
scheduling conflicts, such as Easter
vacatio_n.
·
Student and faculty concern
about missed classes due to the pro-
cess, also made Sunday registration
an option that the divisional chairs
decided would be effective.
The junior class had no say in the
decision to hold registration on a
Sunday.
"There are certain decisions that
have to be made," stated
Ivankovic. "We can't satisfy 100
pe.r,cent
-
~f the students, sowe hope
-
to satisfy a majority."
John Campbell, junior class
president, could not be reached for
comment by press time.
The chairs decided to try and get
the students through as quickly
as
possible in an effort to keep the
process from dragging out, said
Ivankovic
.
Therefore, they decided
·
to have
the entire class register in one day
instead of splitting the class in half,
alphabetically, to go on two days,
like the sophomore and freshman
classes will do.
A three-week advisement period
gave students more time to prepare,
particularly for members of the
junior class who may have to rear-
range any weekend commitments,
said lvankovic.
I think the registrar
,s
-
being rea\\y incon-
siderate to
all
the
stuc:4ents because
they don't realize we
have other things to
do
.
on the weekends.
Some juniors are not happy
about having to register on a
Sunday.
,
,
Linda Klemish,
a
business ma-
jor, from Oakdale, N.Y., will be
away for the weekend and will not
be back in time to register.
"I'm not sure what I'll do, but
I
feel it's unfair that juniors have
priority, and some of us will lose
that priority due to other com-
mitments," Klemish said.
"Some juniors won't. get the
priority they deserve for what ever
reason, because the school expects
us to do something on one of two
days where there are no classes
,
" .,
said Lisa Cerniglia, a psychology
major, from Kinnelon, N
.
J
.
"That's when students can relax
and actually get away from the
responsibilities of school.
"
Jim Joseph, a communication
arcs major from Bronx,
N.Y.,
will
be participating in the Marist Col-
lege Council on Theatre Arts pro-
duction of "Alice in Wonderland"
that Sunday from noon to 6 p.m
.
"l
think the registrar is being
really inconsiderate
to
al\
·
the
students because they don't ~ea},-z.e
-
we have other things to do on
weekends," said Joseph. "Now it's
a matter of us being inconvienced,
and we're going to be penalized by
having to register late for being in-
volved in a campus activity
.
"
Josep)l and about
IO
others will
miss the entire junior registration
day and have made other ar-
rangements to register.
Ivankovic also said the new soft-
ware package, purchased by the
Registrar's Office, is on schedule
for installation.
The new system will allow for
use of opti-scan sheets which will
eliminate the need to stand on line,
as students will only have to drop
off their forms, although that
won't happen until fall.
"Things are cin schedule," ac-
cording to Ivnakovic. "People are
putting in lots of hours to get this
system going."
The sophomore class will register
April 9-10, followed by the
freshmen
on
April
11-12.
Add/drop will be held for everyone
on April 17.
When in Ireland, roll with the old punches
Don't try to understand anything
in Ireland. You'll wrack yer brain
too much. T'aint worth it. Not
a'tall.
I can't understand why some of
the Trinity students here complain
about the price of food in the din-
ing room (yes, they
call
it a dining
room here, too, even though it's
just below a cafeteria on
the
totem
pole of eating places) when they
have no qualms about the price of
beer in the pub, or the price of a
movie ticket.
A full meal - on campus, mind
you, on campus -
would cost you
the equivalent of about $2.50, and
two pints of beer would be the
equivalent of about $4. And a film
(a word which the Irish believe has
the letter "u" in it, and therefore
pronounce it "filum ") cost about
$4
as
well.
"I'm
broke," at lunchtime real-
ly means,
"I
only
have four p0unds
.
and
I
reckon I'd much rather have
beans on toast at home so I can see
a filum tonight."
Something has got to be
said
about some of these Irish tradi-
tions, especially in the western
area
of the country.
When
I
asked for a pint once in
a pub in Tralee, the barman said,
"You mean a half-pint, luv."
"No, I mean a pint."
With a strange look, he proceed-
ed to pull my pint from the tap. Yer
man next to me said; "Yer lucky
he sold that ta ya. Usually ladies
only drink from glasses. It's tradi-
tion. Lady-like."
I've got news for ya, Paddy,
when tradition separates the sexes,
it's seitism.
I'm still trying to figure out why
I
was
chased off a field by a cow
-
a cow, mind you, not a bull -
on Bray Head in County Dublin
the other day.

Dateline:
:
.. Dublin
I
must have taken a wrong turn
somewhere between Killiney Hill
·
and McGurk's Chemist, 'cause I
thought
I
was headed for the beach
front at Greystones.
But of
course,
asking for direc-
tions in Ireland
is
like asking dad
for a wee bit of advice on a history
paper - he'll give you every possi-
ble angle to work from, but by the
time he's done you've forgotten
most
of what
he's
said.
And
"yer man"
with
the direc-
tions
gave
me a local geography
lesson for 8-and-a-half
minutes, so
I ended
up
on a
field.
I plunged
through
a thorn
bush
in the end -
my only escape from
the cow -
and currently
suffer
from minor lacerations.
I
try not
to
think
of
Murphy'.s Law. But,
then again, Murphy
was
Irish
wasn't he?
It took
me two days and about
20 queries in
Trinity Hall
to find
a band-aid -
just one, mind you,
just one.
So I've learned to just let things
happen,
and
let the
road take me
where it will. And always
keep
in
mind the Irish
saying, "May the
road
rise
with
you
and the wind be
always ar your back." ...
There
is a movie
coming out in
the States now that
is
well worth
seeing. It's called "My Left Foot,"
a screen adaptation of the book of
the same name, written by Christy
Brown.
It is a moving film about his life,
and presents a realistic portrayal of
Irish family life in the 1950s. The
opening scenes reveal the front of
Trinity College and parts of
Dublin's city centre ....
Incidentally, on the walls of
Dublin's Olympia Theatre ·on
Dame Street are framed playbills of
past performances, and one of
them is from "Mass Appeal," the
play written by 1974 Marist
graduate
Bill
C.
Davis. The play
was
eventually made into
a
mol-ie
starring Jack Lemmon ....
On Dublin's Leeson Street there
is a Marist Father's Church, and on
Landsdowne Road there is a small
school called Marian College.

I
think it is a combination of stu-

to say is that it is a little of

Nonetheless
(I

there are some infrequent campus

significant participation and
therefore are quite fun.
And there is no better example
of this type of event than our very
own 21 Society.

members of the Marist communi-

stimulate a type of bonding bet-

Not that you can blame them.·
Alcohol has been a contributing
source of violence and turmoil at
Marist's alternate social event for
those under the age of 21, also
known as Sidetracked.

be.
I'm not suggesting that if you do
not go to the 21 Society that there
is something wrong with you. This
is hardly the case. For many peo-

pie this type of event is just not
their niche. There's nothing' wrong
with that.
Nor, am I suggesting an even
worse assumption. Just because
you weren't at the 21 Society
doesn't mean you were at
Sidetracked, I know that. Although
if you were at the latter site it may
be that you were not old enough
for the former event.

back to the 21 Society,
there are many more positive
aspects than negative. Even for
those who do not drink, which is
commendable in and of itself, there
is a good time to be had.
If
you dance well, or as in my
case even if you don't, there is no
reason to hesitate to get out on that
cafeteria floor and cut a mean tile.
No one will laugh at you, at least
not that you know of. But even if
they do, who cares, it is all part of
classmate bonding.
Besides, there is a guy by the
name of Ron Marli spinning tunes.
Ron has a tremendous sound
system and all of the latest dance
music -
you can't go wrong. He
keeps the action flowing and does
a
fine job.
So if you don't drink and you
don't dance you can still come
down and listen to some good
music or just talk to in infinite
number of kindhearted, well-
meaning people just like me.

Donnelly study rooms open
Students looking for a quiet place to study may now find refuge in
rooms 919 and 920 in Donnelly Hall.
Susan Budney, president of the Student Academic Committee, said
the rooms are needed for study purposes. "Students were complaining
that they could not get any work done in the student lounges in their
dorms and they wanted a place quiet to study in," said Budney.
Prompted by complaints about disorderly students in the Library during
finals last semester, the SAC, the administration and the Council of Stu-
dent Leaders opened the two rooms.
"If
students complain, they have to realize that there are methods in
in which to go about things," Budney said. "That is why we have a stu-
dent government, to help the students out."
.If
the rooms become too noisy, Budney said students should contact

Intern to counsel peers
The office of Career Development and Field Experience will be offer-
ing students internships as peer counselors beginning next semester
.
There will be three or four openings for communication art~ ~nd
English majors, said Pam Meeds, a career counselor who started a sim~lar
program at the State University of New York at Oswego before commg
to Marist two months ago.
.
.
"The program is popular at Oswego. The students learn qmte a bit
and have an opportunity to help their peers," said Meeds.
During the first semester of the year-long internship t~e students will
be trained to critique and help others make career choices.
The focus of the spring semester is on professional development.
"There will be actual doing in the spring. The emphasis is on profes-
sionalism," Meeds said.
The interns may make the students who come in for counseling more
..;omfortable, said Meeds
.
"With interns, students will be able to get an immediate response when
looking for some information. There will be no waiting. Because they
are peers I feel the interns will be able to do more because they may
make students feel more at ease when they first come in," she said.
Meeds recommends this internship for those that are willing to learn.
"We are not looking for experience, we want students that are motivated
to learn, it takes a great deal of initiative," she said ..
"This internship is generic enough for students to gam very valuable
experience no matter what career they decide to pursue," said Meeds.

Trying to improve on last semester's
registration debacle, the staff of the
Registrar's Office is doing something
different this time.
Because registration for the fall
semester is being done during Holy

bachev's hypocracy is as plain as the bir-
thmark on his head, and he is going to have
to field questions about whether or not he
smoked marijuana back in those wild and
crazy Soviet '60s.
What do we
stand for?
Well, unless Roger Ailes makes the move
to Moscow soon, Gorbachev will probably
not have to worry about riding around in a
tank to make him look tough a la Michael
Dukakis. What he does have to worry about,
however, is putting too much authority into
an office that he cannot hold forever.
It's hard to believe that some of the issues
we once watched so closely have faded into
obscurity. Our usually transient concern for
what we describe as important issues of stu-
dent rights could be a sad commentary on
the level of our awareness or the worthiness
of our priorities.
The P'!Ost
recent memorable issue was last
year's rallying cry for condoms on campus
-
not
the most compelling human rights
issue. Debate addressed whether condoms
should
be available here, and if so, under
what conditions.
There
have
been
occasional
cries
for
a bet-
ter library or a more liberal drinking policy,
but the sentiment behind the protests seems
almost as
whimsical as the causes themselves.
We need a better library, and the students
should
be active in promoting that, but many
of the most common complaints sound
juvenile, for as long as they last.
And it is disturbing that even less room is
made for issues with nationwide and global
significance.
But as usual, Marist is a quiet follower of
a broader trend. Student acthism at cam-
puses has
been
at a lull. The last
case
that
stood out
was the protest at Vassar College
earlier this semester about remarks made by
Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y.,
which were interpreted as racist. Students oc-
cupied a building for a few
days,
and
Moynihan resigned a chair he held at the
college.
Interestingly, Vassar
students
used
the
oc-

casion to press for more demands in the areas
of academics and student affairs. Even their
movement, though, seemed to lack the pas-
sion and direction that once guided idealistic
college students whose cause was to make a
campus green the battleground of a war
against injustice elsewhere in the world.
That has changed. Marist students are
fashionable and sophisticated, well ac-
quainted with the mores of a materialistic
society.
If
they were to lodge a protest
against anything, it might
be
with a word
processor or a fax machine, not a shanty or
a flag. That's not their style.
None of these remarks is a law, of course,
but a rule of thumb. Marist students observe,
they seldom react. Fury
and
protest are not
their niches except when something stands
between
them and their
k~.
lf most of us are content not to explore
the
pressing
issues of the day,
it
could
be that
our campus rests in enviable bliss. But how
far does that bubble
stretch"? It is to
be
wondered
"nether
we
have a common cause.
Gorbachev has turned out to be a relatively
trustworthy fellow, as far as Soviet leaders
go. True, guys like Josef Stalin and Yuri
An-
dropov are not exactly hot competition in a
session of "Whom Do You Trust?" but it's
not naive to think that Gorbachev is sincere
in his intentions to liberalize the Soviet
Union.
But, as Richard Nixon and many others
have found out, intentions don't amount to
much in politics. Gorbachev has to be careful
to put only as much power into the Soviet
presidency
as
he would trust to his worst
enemy, because that enemy may very well
succeed him in office.
In installing his new system, Gorbachev
took an end run aound his own rules that
would have made John Madden proud.
While he and the new Soviet Congress
created a popularly elected presidency with
a
five-year term quicker than you can say
glasnost,
Go!"bachev was chosen as president
by Parliament, not by the Soviet people.
The reason given for this was that the
Soviet government is so unstable now that
it needs strong central leadership to guide it
through the rough road to democracy ahead.
Translation: With no food in the stores
and ethnic unrest everywhere, Goirbachev's
popular standing is
so
weak that he might
have lost the election had he let it go to the
people.
This
kind
of schizophrenic democracy
may
be
expedient,
but
it does nothing to promote
a fair system of popular government. Gor-
bachev
has
set
a dangerous precedent: his
new
democracy
is
being
born
by
the notion
Thinking
between
the
lines
that it is
OK
to ignore it
when times get tough in
the political trenches.
Much has been made
in the media lately about
how American Gor-
bachev's new Soviet
government looks. Well,
George Bush simply
would not be able to elect
himself to another term by a wave of his
hand.
Apparently, Gorbachev needs a l_esson in
Soviet history. It was Lenin's need for a
quick fix of calm that pushed him to outlaw
dissent within the Communist Party
in
the
early days of the Russian Revolution. This
rule gave Stalin the authority he needed to
consolidate his power and put in a strong
showing for the Dictator of the Century
award.
Gorbachev has to realize the chance he is
taking by breaking his own rules. Perhaps
he looked at the options he had and decided
that his way was making the best of a bad
situation. He may have reasoned that
without him, his reforms had no chance of
surviving.
If
he didn't bend the rules, so-
meone else would have come up
~ith
new
ones.
History will determine
if
Gorbachev's
gamble pays off; but the new Soviet presi-
dent must realize that the crap game has to
stop with · this roll. The bedrock of
democracy is not a strong leader, but instead,
universal respect for the law and the system.
This is a lesson that most fledgling
democracies have failed to learn, and it
usually ends in a dictatorship.
If
Gorbachev wants to style his presiden-
cy after the American model, he should take
a lesson from American history. George
Washington, with his impeccable character
and respect for law, is the man who made
the U.S. presidency what it is today. All
other presidents gained prestige from hold
the office. Washington gave the office its
prestige by being its first occupant.
If
Gorbachev wants to be remembered in
a similar fashion, he must recognize that the
Constitution (the American or Soviet
ver-
sion) is bigger than any president or politi-
cian. He must
set
the precedent that his
peo-
ple must follow.
Only
then
will
they
know the joys of a free
and open system, the political action com-
mittees, the unkept promises and the Pinoc-
chio campaign ads.
Those lucky
Soviets.

LETTERS To THE EDITOR
Write
and
.
wrong
Editor:
It
is very gratifying to see so
much interest in writing skill at
Marist; the March 8 Circle was in-
deed thorough in its attempt to
convey information concerning the
problems and solutions occurring
in the writing program.
Addressing the editorial in par-
ticular, I would like to clarify some
misconceptions concerning the pro-
cess involved in teaching and lear-
ning "composition." Many people
believe that
"grammar"
is taught
first, and then composition.
However, the cognitive process in-
volved in selecting and arranging
ideas is not that simple, and it is not
a separate activity.
No one ever learned to com-
municate ideas well be learning to
identify nouns and verbs. We all
learn the writing process as part of
one interwoven pattern, and the
writing program addresses this
reality by teaching every skill at
every level, from "Introduction to
College Writing" to
"Advanced
Writing." While essays may be
analyzed for different specifics, the
instructor must begin with the
whole thought, the entire structure
or organization of the idea.
The structure of the writing pro-
gram itself also needs to be
clarified. The placement examina-
tion, written by the student on
campus, measures every skill
taught in the program, and it is far
superior to an essay that might by
sent in from home. This exam is
correlated with various standardiz-
ed scores for placement. Students
satisfy a freshman proficiency re-
quirement (and they cannot
graduate without it), which means
that they are now ready for further
·
practice
in
the
particular
writing/thinking requirements of
the major discipline.
The writing program should be
seen as the first step in a much
larger effort by both faculty and
students to improve skills needed in
today's increasingly competitive
job market. Unfortunately, it has
been much too common to regard
the writing program experience as
the "last word" on the subject.
Many students avoid the writing
task throughout the bulk of their
college careers; many faculty do
not provide opportunity for the
experience.
You should know that their is a
concerted effort being made to
change this situation, and it hoped
that eventually our graduates will
never again be ashamed or embar-
rassed by their inability to clearly
organize and communicate their
thoughts in writing.
Again,
I thank the Circle staff
for their interest in the program
and our efforts to make it fit the
needs of the students we serve.

Editor:
A salute to President Dennis J.
Murray and Marist Minority Af-
fairs Professional Organization for
their till}ely tribute io the honqred
South African visitors and African-
American freedom fighters.
Inherent in the February 27,
1990,
event was a significant
message denouncing apartheid.
Recognition of Bishop Ndwandwe
and Rev. Maleke by presenting
them with President's Awards has
put Marist nearer to the role of a
modern day abolitionist voice.
Hopefully, that .voice will grow
stronger with conscious student ac-
tivity against apartheid abroad and
at home.
In contrast, First Amendment
rights notwithstanding, it is dif-
ficult to understand the motive for
satyrizing the
very
historical and
dangerous event of Nelson
Mandela's release by Circle car-
toonist Bob Higgins (editorial car-
toon, Feb. 8).
The
cartoon
seemed
to
reverberate with mockery and
·
degradation. The suggestion that
there is a vaudeville show being
produced is ludicrous, and the
dialogue is typical of a Eurocentric
script writer.
·
It
poses a question about
stereotypes and· perceptions of
Africans and their descendants
as
relates to this particular cartoonist.
This is not to be confused with a
defense that other leaders or coun-
tries were satyrized; There is a dif-
ference in interpretation of graphic
commentary that projects com-
munism (political) and apartheid
(racial/political). Political cartoon-
ing has its place, but maturity and
context give it integrity, which I feel
was missing in this case.
However, now that Rev. Maleke
and family have returned home, I
do hope the presentations are not
used against them, and I hope
against malicious injury to the
Maleke family in the wave of the
recent violence. In the spirit of
another Marist great step forward,
may the struggle continue for
human rights -
abroad, at home,
on campus.

Give recycling a chance
by
KATHERINE SMYTHE
It is time that the Marist com-
munity became environmentally
conscious.
It
is time we learned
how to recycle
.
Besides the fact that
in two years recycling will become
mandatory in New York, it is also
vitally important in terms of energy
and natural resource conservation.
Many people think of recycling
only in terms of aluminum cans,
but paper and glass recycling are
just
as
important. Processing the
Sunday edition of the New York
Times requires 75,000 trees every
week.
.
.
Recycling a single glass bottle
saves enough energy to light a
100
watt light bulb for four hours. As
for aluminum, recycling this metal
uses
95
percent less energy than
producing aluminum products
from raw materials.
It
is not an easy thing to practice
recycling on the Marist campus.
Currently, the students in the
course Political Process and the
Environment, taught by Brian
Hill
are working to incorporate a per-
manent system into the college
where Marist students can recycle
paper, plastics glass and aluminum.
This system includes special
boxes placed
·
in administration
buildings for waste paper and may
include a vending machine that will
immediately give back bottle and
can deposits to the user (much like
the ones in Shop Rite and other
grocery stores.
Until these systems are im-
plemented, there are several steps
you can take to help save the planet
you live on.
-Use
reusable
products
whenever possible, such as coffee
mugs instead of styrofoam cups,
rechargeable batteries, cloth
towels, napkins and diapers instead
of the disposable kind.
-Purchase foods in bulk. This
reduces the amount of packaging
material that accounts for much of
the garbage that is accumulated.
-Recycle as many materials as
possible; separate your garbage in-
to paper, aluminum and glass to
make recycling easier.
-Speak
to
various
ad-
ministrators and let them know you
want to start a recycling program
here at Marist. '{he more people
that voice a concern about this
matter, the sooner a system will get
started.
-Reduce the amount of trash
that you generate. Take only a cou-
ple of napkins as opposed to a
whole handful, which you wind up
throwing away anyway. Share
newspapers. Become more con-
scious of the amount of trash that
you as an individual are responsi-
ble for.
By 1994, half the cities in the
United States will run out of land-
fill
space. Our oceans, rivers, and
lakes are already terribly polluted.
The human race is beginning to
wallow in its own garbage.
By recycling, we are saving
ourselves from our own filth. Other
colleges have pulled together as a
community and have brought
about very successful recycling pro-
grams. Right across the river,
SUNY New Paltz has recently
started a program and it is work-
ing well.
It is vital that Marist starts a pro-
gram of its own now, not only
because it will soon become man-
datory, but also to show that we
too care about the environment.
So, when- you are done reading
this paper, you know what to do
with
it.

joring in English.

Fourth Amendment.
This was a great victory for Constitutional activists
and the American people. After all, the Bill of Rights
was put in place to protect individuals from govern-
ment intrusion and it seemed to be doing just that.
Recently in Tyler v

Iowa, the United States
Supreme Court decided that citizens who utilize cor-
dless telephones have no reasonable expectation to
privacy and are therefore not covered by the Fourth
Amendment.
However, with the advent of rulings such as Tyler

becomes more efficient, and the ability to eavesdrop
becomes easier, will we as a people lose more ground
regarding our rights?

Literally translated, this means that based oitan ar-
bitrary and capricious decision, your right to expect
that your conversations will be yours and not open
to the whole world for examination, depends upon the
type of instrument you use in placing your call.
Idiotic? Maybe, but that is the law.
In 1967, the Court, in Katz v. United States and
Berger v. New York, decided that people who utilize
-
telephones have a reasonable expectation of p_riv~cy.
In fact, in Katz, the Court concluded that this nght
extended to public telephone booths and that our con-
versations, like our persons, were protected by the
While this whole line of thought may seem
Orwellian, the decision in Tyler tends to support it.
To determine that the type of mechanism an individual
utilizes to carry on
a
conversation is the determining
factor as to whether or not that conversation is pro-
tected is ludicrous at best.
We have a right to privacy. Don't let government
officials take away those rights without a fight. Write
your lawmakers today.

Caution
·
the best policy
in Lithuanian standoff
by
TINA LaVALLA
On March 11, Lithuania, the
small Baltic republic annexed by
Stalin's Soviet Union in 1940,
declared its independence from the
U.S
.
S.R.
Amidst the upheaval in Eastern
Europe, the new Lithuanian
legislature has been working hard
these last few weeks to let Gor-
bachev know that they are serious
about restoring its pre-World War
II status as an independent nation,
despite the adamant refusals from
the Kremlin.
Outraged by Lithuar.ia's actions,
Soviet President Mikhail Gor-
bachev sent a telegram last week to
Lithuanian President Vytautas
Landsbergis, stating that Lithuania
has
48
hours to halt the creation of
an independent civil defense force.
The telegram also insisted that
any anti-state activity, including
discussion, be stopped.
Gorbachev then sent a dozen ar-
mored personnel carriers and
military trucks into Vilnius, the
state capitol to make a show of
strength.
By
and large. Lithuania
has
ig-
nored
all
of Moscow's warnings to
quell the move for autonomy and
looks
as
if it
will
stand
firm
in its
quest for independence.
How has the White House
reacted to all of this? Ironically
(and its hard to say, but) the U .S
has actually reacted intelligently.
As someone who is usually the first
person to condemn the gov~r~-
ment's foreign policy,
I
feel 1t 1s
necessary to give credit where credit
is due.
The problem that President Bush
faces with Lithuania and Moscow
is a complex one. Obviously, since
U.S.-Soviet relations relations are
better than they have ever been, it
would be unwise to jeopardize that
progress, especially since Moscow
has not used violence in
Lithuania ... yet
.
Also, if we did align ourselves,
and therefore limit ourselves, to
only one side, we would jeopardize
our foreign relations with not only
the opposite side, but with other
parts of the world.
At this stage of the game, Presi-
dent Bush has done a good job of
handling the situation. He has
publicly stated that the U.S. is will-
ing to mediate between the two
sides and has placed
us
firmly in the
middle.
Even though most of
us
would
love to say that the U.S. should
take a firm stand against the "Evil
Empire" and support Lithuania,
any practical politician would tell
you that our improved relations
with the Soviet Union are too im-
portant to jeopardize, especially
when we
can
take a more intelligent
position on the issue.
By staying in the middle, the
U.S. can reap the benefits of both
relationships -
one with Lithuania
-
which will inevitably become in-
dependent sooner or later, and one
with Moscow, which is becoming
more cooperative with us all the
time.
In his most recent statement on
the issue, Bush has tried to urge
both sides to negotiate, and has
warned the Soviets against using
force.
Bush also said that not only does
he want to continue to work with
Moscow, but that he will not try to
exploit this crisis for any kind of
diplomatic edge over Mikhail
Gorbachev.
So, while Bush has handled
himself astonishingly well in this
situation, one can only hope that
he will make other intelligent
foreign policy decisions in areas
that need them just as much.
South Africa and Israel are only
two of the many examples that
come to mind.

MADE
818,000
FOR COLLEGE ·
BY WORKING WEEKENDS."
· When my friends and I graduated
from high school, we all took part-time
-jobs to pay for college.
_
They ended up in car washes and
hamburger joints, putting in long hours
for little pay.
Not me. My job takes just one
weekend a month and two weeks a year.
Yet, I'm earning $18,000 for college.
Because I joined my local Army
National Guard.
· They're the people who help our
state during emergencies like hurri-
canes and floods. They're also an
important part of our country's military
defense.
·
So, since I'm helping them do such
an~important job, they're helping me
make it through school.
As soon as I finished Advanced
Training, the Guard gave me· a cash
bonus of $2,000. I'm also getting
another $5,000 for tuition and books,
thanks to the New GI Bill.
-
Not to mention my monthly Army
Guard paychecks. They'll add up to
more than $11;000 over the six years
I'm
in the Guard.
_
- · · And
if
I take out a college loan, the
Guard will 1\elp me pay
it
back-up to
$1,500 a year, plus interest.
.
It all adds up to $18,000-or more
-for college for just a little of my time.
And that's a heck of a better deal than
any car wash will give you.

DISABILITY
Continued from page

Mark Sullivan, executive vice
president, said that an oversight
was the reason why the plans were
initially
·
deleted.
Schmidt said that he was under
a different impression.
"I
don't think it was an over-
sight," he said. "Marist College
did
·
not feel it was a priority at the
present time."
The Dyson Center will definite-
ly include automatic doors,
Sullivan said.
Schmidt said that the automatic
doors were not the only im-
provements in handicapped ac-
cessibility since he has been at
Marist.
Other improvements include an
entrance behind the library, no-
turn- on-red signs at the North En-
trance traffic light and accessibili-
ty to Townhouse C-1 for students
with disabilities.
A
water fountain
accessible to disabled individuals is
being planned for the first floor of
Donnelly Hall.
Students who use wheelchairs
would be concerned with the
automatic door and the elevator in
Donnelly, whereas students with vi-
sion impairments would be con~
cerned with the scarce lighting and
markings on stairs, Perreira said.
Individuals who cannot use stairs
.
_
must use a freight elevator in Don-
nellyor the service entrance on the
far side of the building. Stairways
that are poorly lighted or marked
can be
a
dangerous obstacle for in-
di vid ua Is
who
have visual
impairments.
Despite the various needs of
disabled students, Sean Kelly, a
sophomore with cerebral palsy,
said Marist is doing its best to ac-
commodate them.
"I
will
say one thing for Marist,
they have done quite a bit for
disabled individuals," Kelly said.
"Overall,
I
think tney've done
a
lot
more than people may realize."

game. Even with limited time,
Butler showed a great deal of pro-
mise. Her uptempo pace and her
slashing style made her an exciting
player to watch. She also had the
best assist-to-turnover ratio on the
team. This year was sort of a disap-
pointment, but their is potential.
CHARLENE FIELDS -
A-
lf
any one player on this year's
te
.
am showed the potential for
greatness, it's Fields. Fields averag-
ed only four points a game, but she
hit double figures four times .
.
.
Besides she averaged only IO
minutes a game of playing time, so
four points is a decent average.
Fields is an excellent transition
player who makes good use of her
athletic talent. She is above average
in every facet of the game. It is
tough to label someone's potential,
but in the case of this freshman, it
seems promising.
JENNIFER STATON -
B
Staton is the other freshman who
saw a decent amount of playing
time this year. Staton is similar to
Galarneau in that she has a knack
for rebounding, and her scoring is
consistant within 10 feet of the
basket. The more playing time she
gets, the more she'll improve. She
needs to work on her free-throw
shooting.
LISA
CHMIELEWSKI
INCOMPLETE
There is no way to adaquately
grade Chmielewski's performance
this season. She saw only 48
minutes of playing time all season.
This freshman is definitely a pro-
ject for Marist. She has the height
(6 feet 4 inches) to perhaps be a de-
cent center. Only time will tell.
COACHING -
B-
Ken Babineau and staff did a
good job getting 12 talented players
consistent playing time
.
With a
system like Marist's in which there
are rapid substitutions, it's
easy
for
players to get disgruntled. This
usually did not happen. The Lady
Red Fox team did experience some
inconsistencies this year and
whether or not that can
be
directly
attributed to
rhe
coachinsz is
debatable .

Holbrook was this team's lethal
weapon. She led the conference in

her to. Holbrook was second on
the team in assists

two a game.
The only drawback to Holbrook's

her emotions get in the way of her
talent. At times this team, as a
whole, had a small problem with
attitudes. Playing a more mature
style will increase her productivity.

Streak snapped
Laxmen to face
tough challenge
by
JAY REYNOLDS
Sports Editor
Saying Friday's lacrosse game
against Keene is important could
be
an understatement.
"This is one of the biggest games
of the season for us," said captain
Alex Messuri. "This game will pro-
bably decide the (Knickerbocker
Conference title)."
The Red Foxes (3-3 overall, 2-0
conference) face Keene at home
Friday. Game time is 3:30 p.m.
Marist
will
have to rebound from
Tuesday's game, however - a 17-9
loss to Albany State.
The first quarter did not turn out
to be indicative of the game as the
score was tied at three after the first
15 minutes.
Marist took the lead early when
midfielder Jason Beatrice scored
just 3:30 into the game.
Albany State answered about
l
:30 later -
as it did throughout
the first quarter to bring about the
tie.
Albany State pulled away after
the first quarter and outscored the
Red Foxes in each of the remain-
ing periods.
"We were running with them
goal for goal in the first quarter,"
Messuri said. "Then in the second,
we didn't do anyt_lting."_
The Danes outscored Marist 5-1
in the second quarter and 5-3 in the
third
including
seven
unanswered goals within those
periods.
"We just didn't play well (Tues-
day)," said Marist coach Mike
Malet. "(Against Keene,) we'll just
have to go out and do better."
It
was one of the fundamentals
that hurt the Red Foxes against
Albany State, Malet said.
"We_ just didn't pick up the
ground balls," he said. "It's things
like thaflhat we have to work on
and do better."
Albany State picked up 61
ground balls compared to 36 for
Marist.
Leading the offensive attack for
the Danes was attacker Cort Kim
who scored five goals and added
three assists. Midfielder John Mur-
phy added three goals and· three
assists and midfielder Kevin
Koelsch scored four times.
Attacker Chris Feldman and
midfielders Brian Hannifan and
Beatrice each scored twice for the
Red Foxes. Attackers Kevin
Eversen, Edgar Glascott and
Messuri each added a goal.
The loss to Albany State snap-
ped a three-game winning streak
for the. Red Foxes.

a pass during last Saturday's 13-6 win.
The latest of the three wins was
a 13-6 win over Stockton State at
home last Saturday.
Marist trailed 2-1 following the
first quarter, but outscored
Stockton 4-2 in the second to take
the lead for good.
"We played well after the first
quarter," Malet said.
"I
just don't
think we were ready to go out."
"We seemed to play to their level
in the first half," Messuri said.
"But we got fired up for the second
half -
we realized we couldn't be
screwing around."
"We knew we had to pick up the
tempo in the second half and that's
what we did." Malet said.
The Red· Foxes outscored
Stockton 8-2 in the second half.
After going without a goal for
the first four games of the season,
the Red Foxes' second line ofmid-
fielders took control of the game
as
Glascott and Carl Marinaccio
combined for six of Marist's goals
-
each scoring three to lead the
team.
"The second line really looked
good," Malet said. "They came
through and really got us going."

Broadcasts, not rules, should be changed
Four rounds and
60
games have
passed since March 15 and the field
in the NCAA men's basketball
tournament has been narrowed to
four.
Duke, Arkansas, Georgia Tech
and the University of Nevada-Las
Vegas are not the only ones con-
vening in Denver this weekend.
Amid the hype surrounding the
Final Four will be a meeting of the
NCAA basketball rules committee.
The main concern when the com-
mittee meets will be options
available for speeding up the ends
of games -
particularly the last
two minutes.
The NCAA appears concerned
that all the fouls and timeouts at
the end of the televised game allows
fans to take extra trips to the
refrigerator.
A combined effort between
ESPN, CBS,
USA Today
and stat
crews from some of the schools
represented shows that the average
real time it has taken to play the
last two minutes of the game dur-
ing the tournament has
been
10
minutes, 19 seconds.
It's no surprise to see teams foul-
ing and cal_ling timeouts
in
the last
two minutes of a game, even if the
first 38 minutes have been
run-and-gun.
Even so, the rules committee will
be considering options such ~:
-
Not letting unused first half
timeouts carry over to the second
half
-
Imposing greater penalties for
fouls committed in the final two
minutes
-
Adopting the current interna-
tional rule which gives the fouled
team the option of shooting the
free throws or inbounding the ball
-
Give the fouled team three
chances to make two free throws
It's nice of the rules committee
to think of the burden on the fans
for the marathon endings and when
it comes right to it, the elimination
of the television timeouts would be
the obvious time-cutting move but
the NCAA will choose
TV
dollars
over fan dollars any day.
It seems apparent that the rules
committee would rather change the
nature of the game than disrupt
TV
relations.
Football and baseball are just
two other sports
with
the same pro-
blem at
the
end
of games.

Thursday
Morning
Quarterback
It is not uncommon for a
placekicker to have to wait nearly
five minutes to attempt a field goal
at the end of a football game.
Similarly, how many times have
fans had to wait through pitching
changes and pinch hitters in order
to
see
the final out of the ninth
inning?
There is a lot that can happen in
the final two minutes of a basket-
ball game. There's a lot that can
happen in the final second -
just
ask Tate George of the University
of Connecticut.
Thus, the rules committee should
not put the coaches and players at
a disadvantage
by
implementing
special rules for the final two
minutes. Why. play with one set of
rules for 38 minutes and then
change the rules for the remainder
of the game?
The additions of the 45-second
shot clock and the three-point shot
in recent years have not only
elevated the game's level of excite-
ment but also made the final
minutes of the game much more
crucial.
Tampering with the rules for the
final two minutes could be
disastrous.
No matter how long it took, the
field has
been
narrowed to just four
teams and this weekend will cer-
tainly be an interesting one.
With the exception of Duke
there is no sign of last year's Finai
Four competitors.
Seton Hall admitted this was a
rebuilding year and did not end up
with a record good enough to war-
rant an invitation
to
the tourney.
Michigan fell victim to a team on
a mission as Loyola Marymount -
dedicating its games to the late
Hank Gathers -
ran over the
:Wolverines 149-J 15.
Who knows what happened to
Illinois -
seeded fifth in the
Midwest region, the Illini lost an
88-86 game to 12th-seeded Dayton.
Who?
Anyway, this year it's Duke,
Arkansas, Georgia Tech and
UNLV.
Duke and Arkansas will square
off in the first game Saturday and
although Duke has the better
coaching, Arkansas will win.
Score:
82-77.
One little note -
Arkansas,
Jerry Jones' and Jimmy Johnson's
(Dallas Cowboys owner and coach,
respectively) alma mater, has won
more games this
week
than the
Cowboys did all of last season.
In Saturday's second game,
UNL V will beat Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech will remain ahead,
though, in the graduation of its
basketball players. Score: 91-89.
In Monday's final for the na-
tional championship: UNL V over
Arkansas. Score: 87-86.
