Former CBS News president to appear
Commencement speaker decided
by
PATRICIA DE PAOLO
Staff Writer
Fred W. Friendly, professor
emeritus at the Columbia School of
Journalism and former CBS News
president, will be this year's Com-
mencement speaker, President
Dennis
J. Murray said this week.
"He is concerned with the ethical
values within the field of com-
munication and is known for keep-
ing
the ethical dimension of jour-
nalism in the public eye," said
Shaileen Kopec, acting vice presi-
dent for college advancement.
During more than
50
years in
broadcasting, Friendly produced
award-winning documentaries with
Edward
R. Murrow, later teaching
journalism
and holding seminars
on ethics.
Friendly's broadcasting career
began in 1937 as a newscaster at
a
Providence,
R.I.,
radio station,
where he produced biographies.
A decorated soldier in World
War
II,
Friendly, a master
Wonder-full
sergeant, served as-a correspondent
and signal instructor in parts of
Asia and the European Theatre of
Operations. He was awarded four
.
battle stars, the Legion of Merit
and the Soldier's Medal.
In 1948 Friendly began working
with Murrow, then the foundation
of CBS News. He produced "See
It Now," a weekly news show
hosted by Murrow that aired on
CBS for seven years. The program
received 35 major awards while it
was on and is considered one of
Friendly's greatest achievements.
Friendly
and
Murrow later team-
ed up on "Small World," a short-
lived, public affairs show that aired
weekly. The show served
as
a
springboard to the well-known
"CBS Reports," which Friendly
produced.
"Friendly had an incredible
knack of always throwing hot
Fred W. Friendly
dice," said CBS producer Gene de
Poris in a
1967
interview. "He real-
ly knew the future book -
he was
the one guy who sensed when to do
a show so that it was ready for a
news
break."

. -New
position to open
post office at lunch
by
DAN HULL
Staff Writer
The appointment of a new full-time employee will allow the post of-
fice to stay open during the lunch hour, according to Wendy Duncan,
associate director for Information Services.
The new position comes as an answer to a shortage of full-time workers,
and its addition should have the post office open during lunch by the
end of the year, Duncan said.
The post office currently employs two full-time postal union workers
and 20 pan-time student assistants.
The new position will not cause a decrease in student workers next
year, Duncan said.
The position was made possible through the restructuring of the post
office staff at the beginning of last semester, s~id Duncan.
.
· "A lot of tl}e managem~nt was not working ptoperly (auhe:post of-
fice) and the ~tudents y.,er_e riot being utilized the ·best that they'. could
be," Duncan said. "I don't have 60-some students on 'the payroll that
maybe only 30 are working, I have 20 that I know are working."
The post office is open from· 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but closes from
12:15 to 1 p.m.
The closing allows the two postal union workers their lunch break and
other workers time to catch up on uncompleted work due to the shor-
tage of workers, said Duncan.
The additional full-time positjon would allow staff to overlap their
•
lunch breaks so that the post office would not have to close, said Duncan.
The new person will
be
responsible for servicing students at the post
office window and receiving United Postal Service deliveries, said Duncan.
Vice President for Information Services Carl Gerberich said that the
new position could not
be
filled by a student because the position is full-
time. A student could not be expected to fulfill the job hours due to a
student's studies and final exams, he said.
Party comment raises academic question
by
TYLER GRONBACH
Staff Writer
A recent comment made by a
former Marist student in a New
York newspaper has called the col-
lege's academic atmosphere, a~d
the way it is looked upon by its
students, into question.
Kevin Byrne, a former Marist
student, was quoted in New York
Newsday, the eighth largest paper
in the United States, as saying that
the atmosphere at Marist was "a
24-hour party."
In the article on why students are
returning to Long Island, N. Y., to
go to college, Byrne discussed the
reasons why he left Marist. Besides
not liking the atmosphere, he said
going to school in Long Island was
less expensive.
A memo circulated by the Office
of Student Affairs states that Byrne
was dismissed twice for academic
l-iolations. The extent of the viola-
tions was not mentioned. Byrne
could not
be
reached for comment.
What,
if
anything, the college
plans to do in response to this com-
ment is not yet known. Neither
President Dennis Murray nor
Gerard Cox, vice president for stu-
dent affairs, would comment on
the issue.
Considering the school has done
and intends to do, Harry Wood,
vice president of admissions plan-
ning, said Byrne's comment does
not help the college, but it does not
hurt it either.
"People will read it and know
that one students interpretation of
the college may not
be
a true reflec-
tion of what it is really like. Marist
has made great strides in recent
years to promote dry events and of-
fer alternatives to going out and
drinking every weekend," said
Wood.
He offered a theory as to why
Byrne might make such a
statement.
"He (Byrne) was dismissed twice
for academic problems," Wood
said. "This just proves that he had
difficulty balancing his academics
and his social life. The best excuse
is to blame the school, but not
himself,"
Bob Lynch, assistant director of
student activities, had a similar
reaction.
"No matter what college you go
to, there will
be
unhappy people.
For some reason they find it easier
to criticize than compliment, and
I feel bad for these students," said
Lynch.

APRIL
5, 1990
.
Following the cellophane trail
to the King of Rock 'n' Roll
.
Dear Elvis,
It's been a while since you were
last sighted at the Amarillo, Texas
Holiday Inn. And since I haven't
had time for my daily perusal of
the Weekly World News, I figured
I'd drop you a line to see what
you've been up to.
How are the plans for your
1991
comeback? Last I heard you were
going to choose a backer for your
tour -
either Burger King or
Squibb Pharmaceuticals. That's
some choice to make. Who would
you rather attract to your shows,
obese junk food fanatics or
prescription medicine abusers?
Decisions, decisions.
By now you've no doubt seen the
network show they made of you.
It's not too bad, actually, it's just
hard to
imagine
you as a person
with only one chin. And they
haven't shown any scenes of you
sweating like a pig and writhing on
the floor in a drugged-out stupor.
So much for realism, eh?
Of course, there were the glory
days of the King, that's where the
memory travels nowadays. Per-
sonally, I'd much rather see you
depicted as a· young, ambitious
rock idol wailing on "Blue Suede
Shoes" than as a slobbering bu-
·
foon throwing up in Priscilla's lap.
But Elvis, there's something· I
have been meaning to ask you since
the time my great aunt's second
husband's
best
friend's
housekeeper spotted you at that hot
dog stand in Miami: why the hoax?
Sure you were in bad shape, your
career was at the lowest end of a
20 year downward slope and you'd
ruined not only your life but your
legend. Still, there was no need to
Kieran Fagan
·
In
your
ear
fake
your death
and go
underground.
This would be a good time for
you to return. The Stray Cats seem
to be on vacation so the '50s
market would be yours for the
taking.
And just look at all these old
men having the best times of their
careers: Paul McCartney, Mick
Jagger, Bob Dylan, Mel Torme,
the list is endless. Rock 'n' roll has
gone geriatric, so now's the time to
get back on the wagon.
Oh, a bit of friendly advice: it
does nothing for your credibility to
give interviews exclusively with
psychics and the National En-
quirer. Give Spin or Rolling Stone
a call, they'll love you for it.
Better yet, I'll interview you and
I'll
give Spin or Rolling Stone a
call. You've already got a job.
I can help set up your tour, too
.
For starters, we'll book you in high
school cafeterias and a select few
billiards halls. Then we'll move it
up to Holiday Inn and Taco Bell
parking lots. Some autograph ap-
pearances at local pharmacies
couldn't hurt, either.
Then, if you get corporate back-
ing and I pull a few strings, we can
have you headlining the Marist
Spring Weekend in 1991.
First things first. Let's not get
too carried away.
Not to worry if you're strapped
for cash. Just bring a few of the
more prominent Elvis imper-
sonators to court and sue their
pompadours off. While they're
singing "Jailhouse Rock" in the
cooler you'll be raking in some
primo settlements that'll have you
in donuts and spare ribs up to your
ears.
·
Which reminds me, how's the
weight problem?
I
heard from a
reliable source that you were spot-
ted in a World Gym outside of
Portland last October. Apparent-
ly you weren't there to pump iron.
My source said you had a carton
of Camels in one hand and half a
box
.
of Ho-Hos in the other,
serenading
·
an irate aerobics in-
structor. You're the King of Rock
'n' Roll, have a little pride.
Hey, if you get bored with your
soaps, pick up a few New Kids
poseable dolls, rip their heads off
.
and replace them with Ninja
Turtles' heads. Then whaddya get?
Teenage Mutant New Kids on the
Half shell! Get it? Neither do
I, but
I thought vou might aooreciate it.
Well, your Kingship,
I have to
run and crank out another 500 or
so words for the Marist Happy
Days Gazette. Lay off the
Twinkies, start your situps and give
me a call. I hope this letter reaches
you in Amarillo.
_Come
back soon, big guy, we
miss you.

1,200 students gather for first Marist Expo
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Staff Writer
About 1,200 students gathered in
Campus Center last Wednesday to
find out what it takes to get a job
these days.
The first Marist Employer Expo
was held between 4 p.m. and
·
7
p.m. The Expo's 37 company
representatives discussed career op-
portunities with students and gave
them advise about different job
markets.
Deidre Sepp, director of Marist's
Field Experience, was excited about
the turnout and the students'
reactions.
"It
(the turnout) is tremendous,
it is overwhelming," Sepp said
.
"The students and the employers
really seem to be enjoying
themselves."
But Senior Class President John
Downey was disappointed.
"I felt
it
was a little disorganiz-
ed," Downey said. "Having alum-
ni here is a great idea and this is a
positive experience, but I think
!here could have been a greater
diversity of employers."
Employers offered students in-
formation on how to prepare
themselves for a job in a particular
field and to discuss possible intern-
South Africa-n bishop

Education of the youth in South
Africa
will
shape the country's
future, said Suffragan Bishop
Sigisbert Ndwande last Friday, dur-
irig his lecture on the present state
of apartheid and the changing role
of the youth in South Africa.
Ndwande, bishop of the
Anglican Church in Johannesburg,
South Africa, addressed about
40
people in the Fireside Lounge on
the hopes and fears he said he feels
toward his country's desire for
total liberation, and, specifically,
how the students intend to achieve
it.
"'They want nothing but total
liberation of the whole country,"
said Ndwande. "In 1976,there was
a youth uprising that has continued
until_ ~od~y ir\~C~~,ol~ _and univer-
white ancestry). Each division has
its own education, health care,
entertainment and political beliefs,
he said.
Economically, this system is very
difficult to maintain, and until
these institutions are united, South
Africa cannot be united, Ndwande
said.
·
It
does appear, however, that the
new government, under F. W. de
Klerk, is beginning to respond to
these problems -
if only slightly,
he said.
The government has made pro-
mises to negotiate with the people
and says it recognizes that the
political parties must be united and
political prisoners released, said the
bishop.
"The recent release of Nelson
Mandella was a step in the right
direction," he said.
Because the South African

black masses and unity among the races will

must come."
s1t1es throughout the country,
mainly because students blame
adults for being too docile and not
doing anything in the past to im-
prove conditions."
The students say their more
violent methods are working better
than the nonviolence practiced by
their parents, and that they will
continue, he said.
The bishop targeted the division
among the races as the source of a
lot of-hostility and suspicion bet-
ween the young in South Africa.
''There
is
no
common
understanding among them and
they don't know each other at all,"
he said.
According to the bishop, the en-
tire country functions as four
separate entities; black, white In-
dian and colored (with black and
government is under extreme inter-
nal and external pressure, the
government has a more agreeable
attitude, he said
.
''The only reason they are final-
ly agreeing to some negotiation and
release of prisoners is because of
the internal uprisings and boycot-
ting that get worse every day, com-
bined with economic sanctions
from other countries also trying to
put an end to apartheid,"
Ndwande said.
The bishop also said they youth
will not stop until they have achiev-
ed all the rights they desire, in-
cluding the right for the black
masses to own property, choose
their own religion, and to vote
.
"They know that there is no way
ships with underclassmen. •
Robert Lund, a representative
from the William Floyd school
district Long Island, N.Y., offered
students information about careers
in education
.
"My role is to be more infor-
mative," said Lund. "I'm here to
answer questions the students
might have." "I'm trying to give
them tips on interviews and help
them become aware of what educa-
tional employers look for when hir-
ing."
Lund was impressed with the
success of the Expo.
"lt
is better
than most I have been to," he said.
"The students seem to be using it
as a learning experience."
Dick Novik, general manager of
WKlP radio, said that he wanted
to
direct
students
toward
internships.
"Experience is so necessary in
the communications field that it is
important for students to take part
in an internship," he said.
"Although our primary interest
here is internships, it is possible
that some people will be hired,"
said Novik.
MTV was represented by John
Mulvey,
a
1974 Marist graduate.
Mulvey was impressed with the
way students handled themselves.
"The students were extremely
positive," Mulvey said. "Nothing
was assumed, they asked great
questions and were willing to
listen."
But Mulvey said representatives
should have had more time to talk
to students rather than just passing
on information.
Some students said there was not
enough representatives from the
fields of their interest.
"I
thought there would be more
business related companies," Mike
Cornette said. "l thought there
would be more brokerage firms."

South African Bishop Sigisbert Ndwande spoke last Friday about the role of the nation's
youth in its liberation.
to bring in a new government ex-
cept by voting the old one out," he
said. "Although for many years the
government has been successful at
suppressing most uprisings through
killing, arrests and imprisonment,
it didn't stop the people from hop-
ing and it won't stop them now."
Ndwande said the Educational
Opportunity Council, founded by
Bishop Desmond Tutu, is one way
the youth can improve their lives
and achie_ve some of their goals.
The council provides financial
support for students wishing to go
overseas to prepare for a career in
such fields as science and medicine.
Because of the divided educational
systems in South Africa, many of
the universities cannot provide such
training facilities for the black
masses
.
The churches are helping the
youth hold rallies and lectures, and
inviting the students to attend
meetings to plan for anti-apartheid
demonstrations.
The Dutch Reform Church has
shifted its policy from defending
apartheid to seeing it as a sin. Its
decision, attributed to scripture, is
seen as a positive change by the
bishop.
"If
the church can be seen to be
on the side of the people, there is
hope for the country," he said.
Ndwande also said the recent
events in Eastern Europe have
helped South Africa.
"Communism is waning in
Europe and this is influencing
things," he said. "The South
African government has disband-
ed the South African Communist
party, indicating that they no
longer see
it
as a threat."
South Africa is placing a lot of
its trust in its friends throughout
the world to help the country in its
fight against apartheid, Ndwande
said.
He
called South Africa
a
"nation
divided against itself," and said
continuing pressure from other
countries can help bring about
eventual unity among the races
.
Despite the continued hostility,
and suspicion between the four
,
races, and the continued oppres-
-
sion of the black masses, Ndwande
expressed optimism about his
country's future.
"I
have no doubt that liberation
for the black masses and unity
among the races will come one day,
because it must come," he said.

John J. Griffin Jr., 60, who
taught economics at Marist for 25
years, died of a heart attack early
last Thursday morning at St. Fran-
cis Hospital in Poughkeepsie
.
Griffin, assistant professor of
economics, joined the Marist
facu~-
ty in 1965 and was a 24-year resi-
dent of Hyde Park.
"John had the unique ability to
awake the natural curiosity of his
students and create in them a
lifelong interest in economics,
_
"
said President Dennis J. Murray m
a memo to the Marist community.
"He was active on many faculty
committees and was frequently
called upon to review and advise
colleagues on the quality of their
teaching."
"John Griffin was a positive per-
son who always looked for the best
in others, and always gave the best
he had," said Murray. "He will
fondly remembered and sorely
missed by all of us at Marist."
"I've taken
a
majority of courses
with him by choice," said Rob
Tallaksen, a junior economics ma-
jor from Ridgefield, Conn. "We
lost a great professor."
Griffin was a graduate of St.
Peter's College in Jersey City,
N.J., and received his master's
degree from New York University.
He was a member of Regina
Coeli Roman Catholic Church in
Hyde Park, the Knights of Colum-
bus Council No. 6111 in Hyde
Park, and was a Subway Alumnus
of Notre Dame University.
He served in the Army during
the Korean War.
The son of John J. and Theresa
Kelly Griffin Sr., he was
born
June
10,
1929. He married the former

He said he believes that Byrne's
statement was made in haste, and
that the college has made
a
com-
mitment over the past few years to
offer alternative activities for
students who choose not to drink.
"It
is my job to coordinate
events in which all students attend.
The Battle of the Bands, Lip-Sync,
and Job Expo are just a
few
of the
events that have had overwhelming
responses. Over
1200
students at-
tended the Job Expo," said Lynch.
The school does sponsor alcohol
related events, such as the River
Festival and The 21 Society, but the
majority of the events are dry.
Sue Budney, president of the stu-
dent academic committee, said
students do not take their
academics seriously, because they
are too concerned about their social
plans.
"We have been asking for stu-
dent input about what is wrong
with academics here at the col-
lege," Budney said. "l have receiv-
ed very few responses from the stu-
dent body. Nobody has any com-
plaints, because no one really
cares."
·Tom Mulryan, a freshman from

both Byrne and Budney and said
that there are always students who
make partying more of a priority

From the fridge or from the keg, beer is a staple in the diet
of c~llege_ students._ But campus parties are now questioning
the mtegnty of Manst academics.
. Same old social scene leads
to thoughts on a /ligher plane
Looking for that elusive new
twist on the social scene is a cons-
tant search that can take one to
electrifying highs
as
well as earth
shattering lows.
One can only take so much of
the constant, steady and rarely sur-
prising local bar circuit. Sometimes
a change of pace is just what the
doctor ordered.
Last Friday night was one of
those nights when I felt the need to
depart the mainstream and enter
the realm of the slipstream and the
surreal.
I
had gotten wind of a little Sid-
dab Meditation going down in New
Paltz and
I'll
be darned if my
rather intense level of curiosity
didn't get
a:
bit whetted.
Two of my rather cowardly
roomates backed out, citing the
power of the impenetrable Marist
social bubble as being
too
strong a
force to resist.
Alas, I would not be denied my
first taste of Indian culture.
I
gathered up a hearty soul from the
inner clutches of my house and we
quickly sped off into the darkness,
not knowing what was in store and
not really giving an owl's hoot.
For all we knew it was some
backwoods, satanic, flesh-eating,
hemoglobin-imbibing good, old
guys, just waiting for the oppor-
tunity to pounce on two young,
virile,
charasmatic
college
desperados with their backs to the
Wes Zahnke
A
day
in
the
life
sun and their heads hung high.
We didn't know what lay beyond
the friendly confines of the Nissan,
as we peered out over the
dashboard desparately trying to get
some sense of our whereabouts.
We didn't know and we didn't
care. We just clutched to the fact
that there was a distinct possibility
that free refreshments were in the
cards.
Finding this place was no
pleasure cruise, but we pored over
the directions and carefully
navigated our way through the
backwoods of this great state, ever
cautious of any small rodents or
decapitated chickens making their
way in the dark forest.
Upon arriving at the Siddah
Meditation Center, we were
pleasantly surprised to
see
that the
center was an ultra-modern,
perhaps hi-tech dwelling, well-lit,
with a near-capacity crowd on
hand.
We quickly removed our shoes
and snagged two front row seats.
The hall was decked out with
Persian rugs, Indian instruments
and candles. Pictures of the belov-
ed Gurumei adorned the walls.
Gurumei, we found out, was the
next master in the lineage of the
chosen to lead the people in chants
and meditation. In other words,
she
was
the head honcho.
After a quick speech and video
presentation, we cut to the chase
and began a chant.
With the musical accompani-
ment of a bongo drum and a sitar
·and some sort of boxed thingama-
jig, we belted out a solid 15 minutes
of, "Om Nomah Shivirah."
It was moving, and as we segued
into
10
minutes of meditation, my
mind was racing.
Somehow
I
controlled the urge
to get up and cut the rug, though
screaming at the top of my lungs
did serve as a great tension releaser.
Afterwards
as
I
mingled about
with my complimentary hot cider
and assorted finger cakes, I felt
good.
I
had cleared my head, met some
new people and had a darn good
cup of cider.
Hmmmm, maybe next weekend
it'll
be
off to
a
morgue for a crash
course in the art of forensic
medicine.

Party all the time?
Where's the party? According to
Kevin Byrne, it's always at Marist.
Byrne, a former Marist student who
was dismissed for academic reasons, was
quoted in Newsday as saying Marist is
"a 24-hour party" school.
·
Some students, faculty, staff and ad-
ministrators concede there is some truth
in Byrne's statement, that perhaps
Marist students do party a bit too much.
Others point out that this incident will
not tarnish Marist's image. But because
it is so obcessed with public relations,
the administration should confront the
issue.
Do academics at Marist take a back
seat to keg parties?
Regardless of whether this is true, the
college's reputation in the region sug-
gests the Marist name is associated with
parties as much as it is with computers
or liberal_ arts, if not more.
We should decide whether we want
this image to last. Having the reputation
of a party school isn't necessarily a
reprehensible trait. It doesn't mean our
academics aren't solid. However, not
everyone may take it that wav.
Labels like "a 24-hour party;' are dif-
ficult to erase.
If
we can't, or won't,
dispel this image, we better make sure
there is a more positive image that will
stick as strongly in the minds of poten-
tial students, employers and other sup-
porters we need to attract.

The office closed for

said.

Why can't some student employees

ting service.

Down
with the pledge!
Parochial school punishment finds a home
at Marist:
"I
will not drink at
Commencement.
I
will not drink at Com-
mencement .... "
Administrators insist on continuing their
demand that seniors pledge not to drink dur-
ing graduation nor show up drunk and ruin
the May 19 ceremony. They are threatening
to withhold lineup
cards,
which are required
for admittance, from students who do not
sign. They are further threatening to
withhold diplomas for up to one year from
students who do not comply.
Administrators' concern for avoiding the
1988
Commencement brouhaha is
understanda~le, but the pledge is even less
valid and more insulting to graduates than
it was last year.
The pledge, which was drawn last spring
by senior administrators and the Commence-
ment Committee, including the senior class
president, condemns a group that hasn't
caused any harm yet. Normal security
precautions are
a
way of life, but ones that
compromise respect for the individual are
intolerable.

ministrators
say.
But there's more to it than
that and those who are jerking the reins
sho~ldn't think their
writ
of distrust is the
way to guarantee dignity at graduation.
Seniors got what they wanted last year:
outdoor commencement, something that was
denied them for years. Maybe
it's
because
they were allowed to graduate they way they
wanted -
outdoors and with their whole
families joining them -
that they handled
themselves with the dignity worthy of Marist
graduates, not because they had to sign a
pledge.

If
enough seniors refuse to tolerate this
in-
justice, it may not succeed. Write to Presi-
dent Dennis Murray and tell him
an

In dealing with China,
George Bush tried to keep
his foot in the door and
got it chopped off.
There's a lesson to be
learned there. Let's hope
he remembers it as he has
to deal with the Soviet
Union.
Despite the recent cool-
Paul O'Sullivan
ing of the situation in
.
Lithuania,
a
major
Soviet military crackdown is still all too like-
·
ly. If pushed
too far, Mikhail Gorbachev will
·
have to prove to the other nationalities under
his control that no one secedes from the
Soviet Union and gets away with it.
If
and when that happens, George Bush
is going to find himself in a situation strik-
ingly similar
to
the one he was
in
last sum~
mer, when the Chinese decided to use tanks
for crowd control in Tienanmen Square.
In that instance, and in the one that could
occur in Lithuania, the problem for the
United States (as the self-styled bastion of
freedom and self-determination) is how to
deal with the government. of a nation that
uses military force to suppress the will and
demands of its own people.
There are basically two schools of thought
on this. The idealistic, Jimmy Carter style
professes that the United States should tum
its back in revulsion on such a government,
reasoning that by conducting business as
usual, the United States would lend approval
to totalitarianism.
A
good
example
of this method would
be
Carter's reaction to the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan, when the then-president impos-
ed
a
grair. embargo against the Soviets and
annouced the United States would boycott
the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
The other idea, the pragmatic, Henry
IGssenger
style, states that in order to truly
change the policy of a state, you must at
least
be
in contact with that nation. By turning its
back, the United States loses any chance to
have
an
effect on the offensive policies.
Both arguments have some validity, and
each individual situation has its own needs
and circumstances. But when dealing with
the Lithuania
crisis,
Bush should remember
where
rushing
to
kiss the
ring
of a totalitarian
regime got
him
in
China.
Thinking
between
the
lines
When
Bush
sent
Defense Secretary Brent
Scowcroft and Lawrence
Eagleburger on their
"secret mission" to
China
soon
after
Tienan~en Square, he
did exactly what he
should have avoided. He
lent
.
credibility to the
Chinese government's decision to stamp flat
the protests for democracy.
Had this action produced results, it might
have been more justifiable. But with China
refusing to back off its hard line stance, the
Bush administration's response to
Tienanmen Square sounds like nothing more
than a half-hearted, "Gee guys, that wasn't
very nice."
Up
to
now, Bush's ha11dling of the Lithua-
nian situation has been superb. He has let
the world know that the
-
United States sup-
ports Lithuania's right to self-determination,
while avoiding alienating the Soviets.
But if the situation changes and the tanks
roll, Bush must not rep~t the mistake he
made in China. Leaving the door unlocked
to a totalitarian regime is understandable,
even wise. Offering to wipe th~ blood
off
its
hands
for it is disgusting.
The temptation to go easy on
a
China or
a
Soviet Union
is
understandable: Both have
(in China's case, had) made great strides in
softening their communist dogma. It would
be
tragic to see all that progress go for
nothing.
But just because things are better does not
me.;w,
that this
is
where the progress should
stop. The United States does more for op-
pressed peoples in the long run when it is
willing to sacrifice short term goals.
Arms control agreements with the Soviets
are important, to be sure, but no such pact
is going to last unless both sides move closer
together ideologically. This cannot happen
unless the United States retains its hard line
on human rights and other issues.
Bush's recent experiences with China
should prove to him that it does not benefit
the United States to gain
an
ally while
it
loses
its soul.

LETTERS
To
THE
EDITOR
Editor:
Russia
rebuttal
Having been one of the 62
students who accompanied Dr.
Casimir Norkeliunas on his trip to
the Soviet Union,
I
have a few
comments to express concerning
the article in the March
29
issue of
The Circle.
Your article painted our trip in
a dark light, and it led people to
believe that we were under constant
military scrutiny.
We were not.
If we were under observation,
the military officers were in plain
clothes and hiding in the crowds.
Other than the normal street
patrols, there were no obvious
military officers watching our every
move. Our movements throughout
the Soviet Union were free from
harassment of any sort.
The only times we were under
direct suveillance were in the air-
ports, entering and exiting the
country. Even then we were scarce-
ly bothered.
No more than two or three of us
were searched. One of those in-
dividuals was searched due to an
X-
Ray-proof film bag, and this per-
son was also searched for the same
reason in Kennedy Airport before
we left the United States.
This trip was a thoroughly
enlightening experience that I
would recommend to anyone. The
people we met for the most part
were warm and friendly, and the
Soviets who spoke English were
more than willing to talk to us.
Not even five years ago, these
same Soviet citizens would have
been tight-lipped about many of
the topics we discussed.

Once again, student government
· elections are upon us and, as a
Marist sophomore, I would like to
voice a few wortls for Kevin Des-

election as student body.president.
We have all heard the complaint
that students have no say in what
Marist does.
I
have just one argu-
ment against that statement and
his
name is Kevin Desmond.
Desmond promised in
1989
to
"put the students back into student
government.,, Well, after one year
in office, he has more than made
good on this promise.
No, he wasn't responsible for
securing the Dyson contract, but he
was responsible for some of the
changes
that are the ·ac-
complishments
of
the
administration.
These achievements are many,
but just to name a few: the A
TM
in Donnelly, study rooms which are
now available to everyone, and,
scheduled to
begin
construction
im-
mediately, a regulation sand-based
volleyball court on the terrace area
behind Campus Center.
Desmond is a competent, hard-
working and enthusiastic person
with an "attack with persistence"
strategy which has worked well in
representing the needs of us all.
I
ask that, on election day, you
join me in supporting Kevin
Des-

A shot of static for a college
that turns a deaf ear· to radio
by
SUZANNE FAGEL
Staff
Writer
For those of you who aren't
aware,
WMCR
is the campus radio
station which is run solely by
students. It transmits on a cable
current that
can
only be recieved on
the immediate campus.
This means that all those
students banished to Canterbury
can't recieve the station. Neither
can
those who live on North Road,
and that's just across the street.
Those who are in the right areas to
recieve it get poor reception from
the inadequate cable system that is
being used.
I
guess it's safe to say that the
system is not only unaccomadating
to the student body, but it is also
extremely
inadequate
technologically.
The dedication of the WMCR
staff is appreciated only by the
students involved with the station.
Others ask, "We have a radio sta-
tion?" Can you name any other
group that functions every day,
18
hours a day and is completely stu-
dent run without any faculty
involvement?
I don't think so.
All the members (about 40 of
them) invest at least three hours a
week into the station because of a
few meager priority points and an
interest in radio. WMCR is more ·
like a business• than a club that
meets once a week.
I don't think President Murray
and the rest of the Marist hierachy
understand how frustrating it is to
run a radi_o station that people
can't listen to. The President has
been quoted as saying that a
transmitter is ''glamourous''.
However, without that transmitter
(or at least a better cable system)
motivating people to take part in
the station and educating them on
• how "real" radio works is
impossible.
No one takes a practically non-
functional station seriously. This is
the sole reason for WMCR's low
Iistenership.
Maybe -the president should
come down to the station, (if he
can figure out where it is) and we'll
have a little interview show with
him. People can phone in on the
extension and ask questions.
After we sit there with an hour
of dead silence maybe he'll unders-
tand how frustrating it is to be in
there, talking to yourself, with no
one listening. That's not a practical
exercize in radio, that's an exercize
in futility.
DJ's ask me, "is anyone listen-
ing?"
I
don't know. Could be.
We've hooked more people up to
cable than ever, yet we get no
response to happenings like our
first live basketball broadcast from
Madison Square Garden or our
dozens of ticket giveaways to
almost all Chance Shows.
Tours come through the station
all the time.
I
tell the kids and their
parents, "Marist is wonderful to
make friends, have fun, and the
faculty is filled with nice people."
But when they ask me
if
Marist is
a good place to study radio,
I
flat
out tell them "no".
As far as I'm concerned Marist
should not use the radio station as
an admissions tool if they are not
going to take
WMCR
seriously. I
don't want prospective students to
be misled.
When I was recruited here, they
told me two things: this is a great
communication school, and we
have a radio station. A "great com-
munication school", should have
a real, transmitting radio station.
This is the major reason for
WMCR's absense from last
weekend's Open House.
The bottom line is that the
Marist community isn't going to
take
WMCR
seriously until the ad-
ministration begins taking it
seriously. It's up to the student
body to call the administration's
bluff, and make them see that this
should be a priority.
WMCR
can
be everyone's radio station.
We could program whatever you
wanted to hear
if
we knew you were
out there listening, not just in
Champagnat, but in Canterbury,
and on North Road and in your car
as you go riding through
Pough'town.

Brutality of rape a/
f ects us all

both men and women, to change the social at-
titudes and expectations.
At the age of seven I was raped by someone
I
had known well and looked up to.
I
was
brutally violated and was not able to speak out
about my experience until the age of thirteen.
After years of therapy, and support from my
stepmother, I can look around and realize that
there is a desperate need for action among all
women and men today.
In essence, we are trying to integrate into all
people's minds that rape is not a woman's pro-
blem; it is a man's problem and a woman's con-
sequence, and both groups must come together
to tackle it.
Rape is violent and destructive. The victim
experiences much physical and psychological
trauma that remains with them for the rest of
their life. According to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, one out of four women in college
will be victims of rape or attempted rape.
8th with a studentinitiated "Take Back the
Night" March, at
9
p.m. outside the Lowell
Thomas Communications Center. It will be an
opportunity for all groups to speak out against
fear and choose freedom.
Show that you will not support inequality and
abuse by joining us for the short candlelight
march. This is not just
a
female concern.
Furthermore, Monday through Wednesday
will include information tables and evening
discussions to give everyone an opportunity to
clarify any doubts or que~tions you may have.
For more information on specific times and
dates, please call the Personal Development Of-
fice at extension J 52.
This need is even more apparent on college
campuses, where social relations with members
of the opposite sex are a part of daily life. There
must be programs to increase awareness and
provide information for the student body in
order to prevent date and acquaintance rape.
The implications of this statistic are astoun-
ding and
it is
clear that rape will affect each one
of us directly or indirectly, if it has not already.
Every six minutes a rape is reported in this
country. For every one that is reported, nine
others are not. What does this mean to you?
The Marist College Task Force on Acquain-
tance Rape has attempted to do just that by
sponsoring·a week of interesting and innovative
activities that will motivate college students,
We can no longer remain oblivious to the
threat, simply hoping it
will
not happen to us.
Instead, direct measures must be taken to pre-
vent sexual assault of any kind.
Acquaintance Rape Week will begin on April

Getting the feel for animal rights
by
MATTHEW ZIEM
Staff Writer
Ever since the human brain
evolved enough to construct the
rudimentary concept of the "self,"
we have been man and animal has
been animal. The differences bet-
ween us and them have long been
considered fundamental and ob-
vious: we walk erect, they do not;
we have hands and feet, they have
paws; we have hair; they have fur;
we have nails, they have claws; we
are smart, they are dumb. So, we
are civilized man and they are wild
animal.
· Though we have developed
in in-
tellect and technology, we have also
developed a thoughtless and
dangerous complacency in this kind
of thinking. Our concept of "self"
has mutated into selfishness; our
perception has narrowed and
become selective, and we have
become morally near-sighted.
A unique combination and in-
teraction of intellect and emotion
enables
us
to
curtail other emotions
at will, using them to get us where
we want and then shutting them off
when their presence would be in-
convenient. This desensitization
fortifies our selfishness, and
together they have enabled us to
treat animals
as
we have for cen-
turies. We have pushed away and
separated animals from ourselves,
a
state
so
far away and alien to us
that any idea of relation seems
senseless.
We treat animals as mere ob-
jects, as property, tools, products,
amusements, taking from them not
just what we need to survive but
what we desire
as
well. Sometimes
we take their food, sometimes their
homes, sometimes their mental or
physical health, sometimes just a
small part of their bodies,
sometimes their lives. And
sometimes we take entire species.
When we treat animals in any
way, little thought is given to how
we do so; the means do not really
matter, for _they are justified
as
long as the desired end is achiev-
ed. Animals are bought, sold,
shuttled, hustled, harvested, con-
trolled in manners easiest and
cheapest for us with often no con-
sideration for them.
It's perhaps the most unsettling
but revealing irony of human
nature that we are the only
creatures on Earth capable of so
much tenderness and warmth and
beauty, but also the only ones
capable of so much coldness and
cruelity. We have shut our eyes to
so
much pain and injustice for the
sake of ego and greed and blind
urges.
We must grow up. The concept
of the "selr' is most strong and
pure in childhood. As we mature,
we begin to acknowledge other •
views, other ideas, other feelings
than our own. We learn to reason
that those others are just
as
real
and important as our own.
Sen-
sitivity spreads outside the isolated
"self" like a
coming dawn; a
restricted, contained warmth is
on-
ly
coldness.
We break through the hard shell
of the human ego and release the
tight, inwardly focused feelings,
breaking past that intense subjec-
tivity which restricts the meaning
and application of important
words, like suffering, exploitation,
ethics, compassion and rights.
If
the meanings of these words are
conditional, then they are really
without meaning.
Growing up also means facing
truth. If we are so different from
animals, why do so many species
have four limbs, two eyes, two
ears, skulls, ribs, hearts, blood and
nerves as we do? We and animals,
excluding invertebrates and plants,
are variations of a basic design; like
different makes of cars, each
species
is
a
customized
modification.
Finally, growing up means ac-
cepting responsibility, not only for
ourselves but for the others around
us who depend on us for protection
and supervision. We must learn
discipline so we can best balance
our needs and wants with the needs
of others. We must
be
firm, un-
compromising and in control of
ourselves.
People who are for animal rights
are, for the most part, not people-
haters, or fanatic radicals; they
simply are people who have grown
beyond the natural, cold, self-
centerness of the young conscious
mind, extending that warm and
caring side of the human coin not
only to their own kind, but to all
living creatures. They share that in-
credible gift that is the human mind
at its best: humble, open and
feeling.
Animals probably never will
have the same rights
as
we do; it
will always be a debatable issue.
There are some things to this issue,
however, that are not so uncertain.
Animals deserve better than they
are getting, and we are capable of
doing better than
we
are. We have
got to care, because we are the on-
ly ones capable of caring, and we
better realize this soon while they're
some things left to care about.

Ed McGarry
It's
a
little
known
fact
that ...
Is it me, or is television trying to
insult our collective intelligence?
Maybe I'm a purist but it seems
to me television producers, direc-
tors or computer wizards, whoever,
are going just a tad bit overboard
with the graphics thing.
I think it is great that we have the
technology to place charts and
computer graphics instantly on the
television. Maybe this a very sim-
ple thing, I don't know, but at any
rate I think that there must be very
talented people out there to have
developed such things.
But take ihe NCAA Basketball
Tournament that was just conclud-
ed on Monday. For three weekends
I tried to watch as much college
basketball as I could, and this was
sort of difficult after 10 or 15 Dos
Eques down in Cancun.
Now, I could watch college
hoops all day, and usually do come
tourney time. But I can't help but
think that someone has gone too
far when there is a litlle computer
graphic Duke Blue Devil casting a
spell on a little computer graphic

They say that USA Today is
basically an attempt to make a
newspaper more like television. But
it seems now that television, main-
ly the major networks, are trying
to be more like USA Today.
What I am afraid of is what we
could possibly see next.
I mean, are we going to see a lit-

Tom Watson's tee shot at the 17th

Or can you imagine a computer
graphic Mario Cuomo and a com-
puter graphic Cardinal O'Conner
having a tug-o-war with a com-
puter graphic condom to illustrate
the debate over abortion?
What about a computer graphic
Donald Trump kicking a computer
graphic Ivana Trump out of the
42nd floor of Trump Towers to in-
form the public of the divorce? The
possibilities are endless. And, that
is pretty scary.
I think you get my point.
Television has overdone it with
the graphic stuff and it is insulting
our intelligence. It was interesting
for a while but it is time for a
break.
All I can hope for is that you

Tight schedule
cancels crew's
spring regatta
Concentration
by
JIM _DRESELL Y
Staff Writer
Each spring, the Marist com-
munity looks forward to Spring
Fling Weekend.
Every Spring, one of the
highlights of Spring Fling Weekend
is the President's Cup Regatta -
except except this spring.
For the first time in years, Marist
is not hosting the regatta due to a
scheduling conflict.
The New York State Small Col-
lege Championships are being held
in Albany on the same date that is
reserved for the President's Cup -
the last weekend in April. ·
The championships serve as a
qualifying race for the Dad Vails
Regatta -
a national regatta held
each May.
Crews from around the region
are almost forced to attend if they
hope to be attend the Dad Vails
Regatta, thereby forcing them to
pass up the invitation to row in the
President's Cup.
This year -
for the first time -
the Dad Vails Regatta is requiring
that a team qualify to be able to at-
tend the regatta, instead of allow-
ing all the entrants to attend.
Davis said the addition of
another race on the road is difficult
for both the team and its budget.
"It's nice not to have to travel
and still get good competition,"
said Davis, who also must now deal
with the travelling expenses that ac-
company a road trip.
Davis said that he is trying to
schedule the President's Cup for
the second weekend in April for
next year, enabling the tradition to
continue.
Marist College President Dennis
J. Murray expressed concern that
the President's Cup Regatta does
not die out.
"It's a long-standing tradition
here at Marist that I'd like to see.
continued," said Murray, who said
he is looking forward to seeing it
return next year.

Marist also must travel to
Albany if it has any hopes of row-
ing in the Dad Vails.
"(The small college champion-
ship) is almost mandatory if -we
want to row in the Dad Vails," said
Marist coach Larry Davis.
Murray wasn't the only.member
of the Marist Community who
wants the regatta to return.
Despite not hosting the Presi-
dent's Cup, Marist will be racing
at home this weekend when it hosts
St. Joseph's.

Rugby stays
-undefeated

MIKE O'FARRELL
Staff Writer
The Marist rugby team trounc-
ed its third consectutive opponent
last Saturday when it defeated Iona
26-0.
The shutout raises the Red Foxes
record to 3-0 in the Metropolitan
Rugby Union.
Leading the way for the ruggers
was Stephen Batta,who tallied eight
points. Brendan Gallagher, Phil
Frank, Bob Aquino and Carmine
Alanardo all added four points
while Shamus Barnes chipped in
with two points.
Batta, the club president, singl-
ed out the defensive effort of Pete
Gallo and Scott Rumsey.
"Those two guys did a gre~t
job," he said. "They were real
tough on defense," he said.
Brian Hardey also drew praise
from Batta.
"Brian didn't score but he is
more like a quarterback - he real-
ly gets things going in our favor,"
he said.
The Marist defense has been
outstanding so far this spring.
"The defense has been great,"
said Batta, "We have played three
tough games and have only given
up seven points."
The Red Foxes haven't had too
much of a problem with offense,
either, in their first three games as
they have outscored their op-
ponents 67-7.
The "B" team battled Iona to a
OsO
tie. John Molloy and Frank
Romano were singled out by Batta
as giving solid performances.
This Saturday, Marist will travel
Fordham for what ·Batta said will
be a tough match.
"Fordham is supposed to be
strong," he said. "They should
give us a real strong game."
The following week Marist will
be c<>mpeting at the Drew Invita-
tional hosted by Drew University
which Batta said should be a very
competitive tournament.
With the quick 3-0 start, the Red
Foxes have now won 23 of their last
28 matches dating back to last
spring when they posted a 13-3
mark. This past fall, Marist had a
7-2 record.
CBS sends signal with Brent's release
You are looking live at the
unemployment line. -
·
It is here that Brent Musburger
will be collecting his checks, thanks
to CBS.
The network made a bold move
last Sunday when it decided "not
to. renew" Mus burger's contract,
bemg careful not to call it a firing.
When you get right down to it
it looks like it's Brent's fault fo;
working too hard. Then again, he
was getting $2 million a year; why
shouldn't he?
Just a week ago, he was
as
close
to the top of the world
as
someone
gets -
$2 million a year, the best
seat i!1 the house for all the major
sportmg events and he was on na-
tional television every weekend.
At one point of his career, he
was hosting
"NFL
Today," doing
play-by-play at the Final Four, do-
ing play-by-play for college foot-
ball, hosting the Masters golf,
hosting the U.S. Open tennis, do-
ing play-by-play for baseball on
CBS Radio and filling in on NBA
playoff telecasts.
.
Then, in what the ASSOCiated
Press thought was an Apr11 Fools
joke, Musburger's a regular citizen
again.
The situation opens new doors
for anyone who wants to become
a sports telecaster.
No longer do the networks want
a signature voice -
someone that
can do everything.
CBS seems to want someone for
football, someone else for baseball
and still someone else for golf.
After 15 years at CBS,
Musburger knew how to do all of
these and
wanted
to do all of them.
When the sports department at
CBS tried to lessen his work load,
he complained.
Now CBS will have different and
new opportunities for the younger
broadcasters coming up the ladder.
Many are calling CBS' Jim
Nantz "Musburger's heir ap-
parent." That's not true.
He may take over some of
Brent's duties, such
as
host of NFL
Today, but CBS does not want an
heir; that's why it let Musburger
go.
To be honest, I was not looking

baseball coverage for CBS.
Other candidates for the baseball

The major problem lies in the
Jay Reynolds
forward to watching Musburger do
baseball.
·
I lived through his basketball
years and his college football
duties, but once he
was
slated to do
our national pastime we were
all
in
trouble.
The major problem CBS is fac-
ed with now is the absence of a
leading play-by-play announcer for
the baseball season.
There has been much talk of
CBS grabbing Al Michaels to work
the baseball games with color man
Tim McCarver.
fact that they are under long-term
contracts. In Scully's case, he
doesn't figure to work well with
McCarver.
Also, if you're part of the NBC
management, you want to try to
keep your sports division happy.
It
has the best talent of the three net-
works, led by Costas.
As for Musburger, he said
following Monday night's barn-
burner of a national championship
"I'll see you down the road." '
"Do~ the road" makes you
wonder Just where he is going tc
pop up again, thouith.
Some have said Musburger will
show up at ABC while others say
TNT. It has even been suggested
that he will go to WON in Chicago
and broadcast Cubs games on TV
and Bears games on radio.
Aware of the fate of Musburger,
Costas better watch himself at
NBC.
With the networks trying
to
get
away from the "signature voice,"
Costas will have to be careful in
choosing the events he wants to
cover.
He already anchors "NFL
Live," he will most likely receive
a major play-by-play role in NBC's
NBA coverage and he will most
likely be the host for the
1992
Olympics in Barcelona.
Credit must be given to Costas
for staying away from golf and ten-
nis for the most part.
