Two weeks before faculty contract
negotiations are to begin, administrators are
discussing a plan to raise employees' salaries
5
to 6 percent across the board next year, ac-
cording to Anthony Campilii, vice president
for business affairs.
While most college employees have been
getting modest salary increases,the salaries
of a few top officials have grown at a much
steeper rate in recent years. President Den-
nis Murray earned $150,000 in fiscal year
1988, up 25 percent from the previous year,
according to Internal Revenue Service
documents obtained by The Circle.
Both Murray and Campilii attribute the
need for the increases to the rising cost of
living in the Northeast region. -Salary in-
creases for all college employees have top
priority in next year's budget, they said.
The Board of Trustees, w.hen if'~pproves·
the annual budget, sets all salaries and
decides whether they
will
rise, and if so, how
much. The board will meet Saturday to
decide the budget for fiscal 1990, which
begins June
1.
William Olson, chairman of the faculty,
said the possible increase in salaries would
not be enough to cover the 6.2 percent rise
in the cost of living that occured from March
1, 1989,
to
February 28, 1990, in this area.
'Ethics' to be taken
•
•
•
Junior, senior year
by
HOLLY GALLO
Features Editor
The faculty voted last week to move the freshman ethics course re-
quirement to the junior or senior year.
The faculty also rejected a proposal for an honors program and ap-
proved a plan to examine and revise the Core/Liberal Studies program
at a meeting last Friday.
The Academic Affairs Committee, which consists of four faculty
members and one student representive, put the three proposals before
a faculty vote. The count was not available.
_
The ethics proposal essentially changes the role of the ethics course
from an introductory subject to a capping course. It was passed with
the notion that students would be more receptive to ideas discussed in
the class once they have more college experience behind them, according
to Richard LaPietra, chairman of the Academic Affairs Committee.
To back up this theory, a study done by the philosophy program at
Marist and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities af-
firmed teachers' belief that students' mastery of the ethics course would
be enhanced by their personal and intellectual maturity, LaPietra said.
The change could take effect as early as next semester, LaPietra said.
The "Introduction to Philosophy" course will still be required of all
students during their freshman year, he said.
The Science of Man program, the unofficial honors program now in
its final semester, still has no replacement, as the faculty rejected a pro-
posal for a new honors program.
In constrast to the Science of Man program, for which students had
to be invited to participate, the proposed honors program would have
been open to all students with at least a 3.25 grade point average, LaPietra
said.
Some of the requirements for participation in the honors program
would have been completion of a foreign language up to the advanced
level, one lab science course and a written· thesis to be presented orally
to faculty and students during the senior year, according to LaPietra.
'!Marist does not have the resources to
keep the professors here," said Olson. "The
professors know that despite any job that
they are doing, they are still going to fall
behind (financially) because the increase
won't cover their expenses."
Murray said the salaries for the'Jower two
ranks of teachers -
instructors and assistant
professors - are low and should have more
money put into them. He said the full pro-
fessors and associate professors are paid well
compared to schools similar to Marist.
According to The Chronicle of Higher
Education, a full professor at colleges com-
parable to Marist earns an average of
$46,830 per year. Marist's full professors
earn an average of $48,439, about 3.3 per-
cent more than the national norm, said
Murray.
"In order to attract top professors and
keep those we have;·we must pay competitive
salaries," said Campilii. "We have to make
sure the faculty is fairly compensated."
The average salary for a president of a
baccalaureate college is $85,675, according
to the College and University Personnel
Association, which compiles the national
statisics. Murray earns about 76 percent
' more than the national norm.

Another proposal, which passed,
will
examine and consider revising
the curriculum, beginning with the Core/Liberal Studies program in order
to "take some manageable pieces and start from there," LaPietra said.

"It's an evolutionary process," LaPietra said. "When the Core was
first established, it was done so with certain objectives and goals; then
it grows in ways you
can
never foresee when conceptualizing."
Worker uses Marist to get back on his feet

If you think you spend more
time in Donnelly Hall than anyone
else, think again.
Long after you have finished
your night
class
and
typed
your last
paper, there still may be one per-
son lingering in the building after
you have left.
Bernard Ford, 44, is there all
night, working for housekeeping.
Ford
was
born and
raised
in New
York City. For many, New York
City is the greatest city
in
the
world. But for others, like Ford, it
is just the opposite.
Ford became an alcoholic while
he grew up in the Big Apple. But
now, Ford has kicked the bottle
and come to Poughkeepsie to start
a new life at Marist.
Ford's path to Marist was a
strange one. His rehabilitation
center sent
him
to Poughkeepsie
and then his halfway house
manager gave him a chance to
work part-time at Marist. Since he
did a good job here, he was hired
as a full-time worker.
Ford appreciates the second
chance he has gotten at Marist,
even though
bis
work may go
unappreciated.
"No matter what the problem is,
nothing is worth drinking," he
said. "I was given a second chance
at life and I'm going to do the right
thing with it."
"It
can
be a thankless·job, but
it makes me feel good to see
that
I
make a difference in keeping up
the college, and I'm proud," Ber-
·nard said. ·

"I
always try to do my

he
added. "Most of
the
time I ~
150
percent, but I do it for me. In A.A.
(Alcoholic's Anonymous) they
teach us to
go
the extra mile."
The most important thing for
him today is to remain sober, Ford
said.
"I've seen
a lot of my friends
Jose
their sobriety and then their
life," he said.
Ford said he started drinking
heavily in grammar school. His
drinking got worse from then on.
'!I-wanted to stop, but I didn't
know bow to stop," he said.
"Three years ago I was a homeless
guy in the gutter.
I

THE CIRCLE, MAY 3, 1990
Recycling program started
by
LENNY KLIE
Staff Writer
A group of students has started
a program that will help the en-
virorunent and save Marist money.
Boxes have been placed recently
in the Adult Education and Admis-
sions offices and all Donnelly Hall
offices as part of a pilot program
to recycle paper. The project is ex-
pected to go campuswide in the
fall.
The program was started by a
group of students in Brian Hill's
"Political Process and En-
vironmental Issues" class. The
group, headed by Leigh Magnolia,
a sophomore from Mountainside,
N.J., was required to find a solu-
tion to an environmental problem.
Magnolia suggested recycling, and
with the help of Andrew Molloy,
a professor of chemistry and en-
viron'!lental ~cience, put the pro-
gram m motion.
The National Recycling Com-
pany, located in Marlboro,
N.Y.,
offered to pick up the paper at its
own cost and shred it for reuse
Magnolia said.
"It
sounded like~
good deal, and
I
had to do
something for the class anyway "
she said.
'
Marist will save money from the
program in the long run, said Hill,
an associate professor of en
-
vironmental science and director of
the environmental science pro-
gram. "Marist pays the Royal Car-
ting Company about $70 a ton
(about $100,000 a year) to take
away its garbage and dispose of
it
.
.,
"A big chunk of the waste
stream at Marist is paper that just
goes into the dumpster
,
" said
MoJloy, who has been recycling
computer paper from offices on
campus for the last two years.
"In those two years, we've
recycled over
8,000
pounds of com-
puter paper alone," Molloy said;
"the proceeds from which have
-
-
gone to purchase environmental
books and journals for the Library.
A law is expected to go into ef-
fect within the next few years man-
dating the recycling of all paper,
glass, metal and plastic, Molloy
said. "Marist is just getting a jump
on everyone else, ~d cutting waste
and saving trees ancl energy in the
process," he said.
By
fall,
recycling of all
newspapers
,
desktop paper and
aluminum cans should begin cam-
puswide, Hill said.
"Furthermore, it makes a good
statement about the social cons-
cienc!! of the school to be able to
say that we recycle at Marist," Hill
added.
Marist East finally up to code
by
DAN
HULL
Staff Writer
The Marist East fire code problems should finally
end today if the Town of Poughkeepsie building in-
spector approves a recent construction project in the
back of the building, according to Paul Maley,
manager of Mid-Hudson Business Park.
The college paid most of the cost of building a wall
consisting of two layers of steel-studded fire-rated
Sheetrock around the corridor and the concrete wall
that separates the warehouse from the Marist offices,
Maley said.
That project should satisfy complicated fire code
regulations that have plagued occupants of the
building because the space is used for different pur
-
poses, according to Executive Vice President Mark
Sullivan.
The wall is designed to meet a one-hour fire rating
regulation, which means that a blaze would take about
an hour to burn through the Sheetrock, said Maley.
Marist paid approximately 60 percent of the $35,000
cost of the renovations, said Sullivan.
.
The
·_
new wall, completed a few weeks ago, covers
the ceiling and the far side of the back corridor,
shielding the front of the building from the warehouse.
The wall connects with a three-hour fire-rated concrete
wall that further protects against a fire in the
warehouse sweeping through the classrooms and
offices.
This is the latest and, administrators hope, the final
chapter in a succession of fire code problems in Marist
East.
Last May, the New York State Code Board of
Review ruled that rooms in the 100 and 200 sections
could no longer hold classes because the main corridor
is too narrow and is not constructed of proper fire-
resistant material.
Marist was able to get around that by turning that
space into offices and relocating classrooms in the
basement of the Lowell Thomas Communications
Center last summer.
"The fire marshall's contention was that (the) cor-
ridor was too narrow to allow classrooms in the 100
and 200 section, but he (allowed) offices because the
population density is much lower,'' said Assistant Vice
President Marc Adin.
To meet fire code regulations, the corridor would
have had to have been widened from four feet to eight
feet and the walls around it made fire resistant for one
hour, costing the college $300,000. Instead, ad-
ministrators invested $400,000 to build nine general
classrooms and
six
faculty offices in the basement of
LoweU Thomas.
·
Marist is planning
to
replace Marist East with The
Dyson Center when its lease expires on July 31. The
Dyson Center is expected to be complete by August
1,
said Adin.
Bookstore's expansion denied
by
TYLER GRONBACH
Staff Writer
The administration has rejected
a proposal to move the Bookstore
into The Dyson Center, according
to Anthony Dangelo, manager of
the Bookstore.
The decision came after
numerous attempts by Dangelo to
show the administration the need
to expanded space and services, he
said.
Administrators could not be
reached for comment.
"I
am here for the students,"
said Dangelo. "They are where
I
get all my ideas from.
If
I can't of-
fer them what they need, I am not
doing my job."
Although President Dennis J.
Murray has spoken in the past
about creating a first-class
bookstore, that idea was shelved
along with the Marist Village.
The Village was proposed two
years ago
as
a shopping center on
the North End of campus that
would have included an expanded
bookstore and other student-
oriented businesses
.
The Village was put on hold in-
definitely in light of more urgent
classroom and housing shortages.
Meantime, Dangelo said he will
continue to lobby for better
facilities.
Dangelo has been in charge of
the store for
26
years. In that time
the store has grown 18 times larger,
he said.
It
makes more than $2
million a year, he said.
Much of this growth has been at-
tributed to the sale of better quali-
ty merchandise such as shirts and
magazines, Dangelo said.
But there is too little space to
stock
an
adequate inventory
,
he
said. The store contains 3,300
square feet, which is too small,
Dangelo said.
"On my free time, I visit
bookstores at other college cam-
puses," said Dangelo. "Our store
is quite lacking compared to other
.
colleges of the same size."
With more space, other aspects
of the Bookstore would improve,
Dangelo said. More check-out
lines,
better display of merchandise
and larger amounts of inventory
are just some areas that would
benefit from more space, he said.

Insurance policy halts
emergency program
by
JANET RY AN
Staff Writer
A
>
clause in the college's in-
surance policy has delayed the
operation of the Marist Emergen-
cy Medical Service program, said
Heidi Hill, the program's executive
director.
If
the EMS program were in
operation it could respond to
critical calls in three minutes or
less, more quickly than the seven
to nine minutes taken by Fairview
Fire Department, Hill said.
The students involved in the
EMS program have all received
state certification, but a proposal
to officially establish EMS at
Marist has stalled in the Office of
Student Affairs, Hill said.
"
We are at a standstill," she
said
.
"We have not achieved any
of our goals, and the administra-
tion does not seem receptive.
"
There are approximately 50 to 60
people involved, 10 of whom are
active emergency medical techni-
cians. said Hill
.
The cost per EMT for malprac
-
tice coverage is $30 per person, said
Hill.
"We have gotten a lot of en-
thusiasm and support from
students and staff," said Joe Stan-
ford, director of the program.
Marist EMS members plan to go
with Security on calls, Hill said.
She said Security has given them
their own base station.
.
EMS members say Fairview fire
officials support them and are will-
ing to work with them.
"Marist EMS has stumbled on
scenes by themselves and have
made a difference," said Stanford.
"If
it saves one life it is worth it."
An example was during a recent
fire drill in Champagnat Hall. A
student was having a seizure, and
some of the EMS people were there
and were able to help stabilize the
student until the ambulance
arrived.
In the spring of 1991
,
Marist
EMS will be hosting a conference
called the New York State Associa
-
tion of Collegiate Emergency
Services.
The first day will be registration,
the second day consists of training
to further their knowledge and the
third day EMS will be vending their
different
products.
"It's a shame students who give
a damn can't do anything about
it," said Stanford.
New program to give teachers more skills
by
PAUL O'SULLIVAN
Editorial Page Editor
Anticipating a change in the cer-
tification process for teachers in
New York State and an increased
demand for teachers, Marist has
in-
stituted a master of arts degree in
educational psychology.
Mark vanderHeyden, academic
vice
president, said the program,
which
was
approved in Janu_ary
and
will
begin in September, 1s a
response to the growing national
trend of requiring more than a
bachelor's degree for teachers who
obtain cenification.
"We expect that certification in
New
York
will
shift to the post-
baccalaureate
level,"
vanderHeyden said
.
"We are
gambling a little, but all trends in
the country point in that direc-
tion."
In addition to the certification
requirements, vanderHeyden said
another consideration in creating
the program was the anticipated
shortage of teachers in the coming
decade. vanderHeyden cited
Department of Labor statistics that
predict that 1.4 to 1.6 million
teachers will leave the profession in
the
1990s.
William Eidle, chairman of the
division of social and behavioral
sciences, said full-time students
should be able to complete the 30
credits required for the degree in
one
year,
plus some summer work.
Eidle added, however, that he ex-
pects the bulk of students to take
the program on a part-time basis,
while they are teaching with tem-
porary certification.
Eidle expressed his enthusiasm
for the program, stating his belief
that Marist's strong undergraduate
programs in psychology and educa-
tion make it the ideal place for Dut-
chess County's first graduate level
.
program in teacher education.
The program's focus, according
to Eidle, will not
be
the instruction
of teaching methods, but on help-
ing teachers deal with the
challenges of modem teaching,
such
as
teaching in a culturally
diverse society and helping students
develop their own values systems.
Eidle cited statistics from the
Chronicle of Higher Education that
show the country's teacher popula-
tion
as
95 percent white, while 40
percent of their students are
minorities.
"It
is important that teachers
become sensitive to significant
issues that would impact teaching
in a culturally diverse society," Ei-
dle said.
Eidle said the faculty teaching
the program
will
also reflect the
stress on cultural diversity.
Brother
James
Kearney,
the new
programs director and a visiting
professor of teacher education,
said the values emphasis will entail
encouraging teaches to give their
students a pre-set formula of
values. Rather, the focus will be on
how to teach students to make
value choices for themselves.
"We want teachers to become
facilitators in students acquiring
higher values," said Kearney, "not
in teaching them any particular
set."
Both Eidle and Kearney agree
that one of the program's greatest
strengths will be its ability to adapt
as
teaching environments change.
Eidle said this adaptability will
grow out teachers bringing in their
own classroom experiences and
sharing them with others in their
field.
In this way, Eidle said, the pro-
gram will always be updated
because it
will
be dealin2 ""ith the
challenges that teachers are finding
in a real-world teaching environ-
ment

SALARIES
... Continued from page 1
"Our goal is to have every faculty member
and administrator paid just as well or better
than others at comparable institutions," said
Murray. "We have to ask ourselves, 'Are the
faculty being fairly paid? Are administrators
being fairly paid?' "
According to the IRS form 990, which lists
the salaries of the top officers and faculty
administrators, the 1988 salaries of the four
highest-paid officers after Murray were:
-Executive Vice President Mark Sullivan:
$92,500, compared to the national average
of $58,140.
-Marc vanderHeyden, vice president for
academic affairs: $79,750, compared to
$60,674 for the national average.
-Harold Wood, vice president of admis-
sions and enrollment planning: $72,345,
compared to the national average of $38,200.
-Campilii: $70,399, compared to $58,000
for the national average.
The increase in all salaries this year will
cost the college about $900,000. In order to
defray the growing operating expenses,
which include the salaries, student tuition will
increase about 7 percent to 8 percent next
year,
said
Campilii.
Also, many of the existing budgets will be
frozen next year, said Murray.
The Library's budget is one of the excep-
tions, said both Murray and Campilii. Its
budget will increase over last's years figure
of $717,000. Neither Murray nor Campilii
could say how much the Library's budget
will increase next year.
Despite the budget freeze in other areas,
Murray assured that no lay-offs would
occur.
In addition to the increase in salaries and
the additional Library spending, more full-
time faculty art: being sought, said Murray.
Two more administrators will be hired to
help install a new campus telephone network
and a new computer system in the Library,
he said.
"Marist is trying to bring in more full-time
faculty members, but they are also accepting
.
more full-time students," said Olson.
"The
faculty that are on-campus are being placed
in off-campus facilities to teach, which
means more adjuncts will have to fill in the
·
void on-campus."

The administration and Seiler's are
discussing a slight increase in board, and the
possibility of cutting the Saturday morning
breakfast, Campilii said.
By cutting the breakfast and making it into
a brunch, like Sunday's, the college
will
save
$50,000 to $60,000 because the college must
pay for 1,200 meals regardless of how many
students attend, he said.
About 70 students attend the Saturday

As far as the Dad Vail itself is

"It has been a tough season,"
Davis said. "We've -had the

Three faculty members set for retirement
by
MATTHEW WARD
Staff Writer
The end of this spring semester
will
bring with it the retirement of
three longtime Marist professors,
each of whom has averaged about
30 years of teaching at Marist.
George Sommer, professor of
,
English; George Hooper, professor
of biology and chairperson of the
Division of Science; and Francoise
Gregg, professor of French, have
spent a combined total of 95 years
at Marist. The teachers have held
prominent positions in their depart-
ments, and for at least the last two
decades, each has played a key role
in the development of the college.
George Sommer
George Sommer began teaching
part-time at Marist in
1945.
Reclin-
ing back in his chair, he remembers
the days when there were only eight
other faculty members, and the stu-
dent body comprised 125 young
Marist Brothers.
At that time, Donnelly Hall,
Fontaine, the Chapel and all of the
dorms were just a dream. Marian
Hall was the gym, which included
one classroom. Another classroom,
as well as the library, were in the
basement of. Greystone.
Sommer came up on weekends
to help out in the construction of
Donnelly from 1958 to 1961.
Marist was a different place then,
when everyone helped to build the
young college. Sommer recalled the
time when the house of a faculty
member burned to the ground and
the students helped rebuild it.
A medievalist, Sommer had a
background in history, French and
English, so that is what he taught.
This was not unusual in a time
when a Spanish teacher would also
teach math.
In Sommer's sixth year he
became a full-time professor. The
English department consisted of
two
.
half-ti~e
.
proJessors at that
time. Now it has grown
to
11 full-
time members and
37
adjuncts.
.
Sommer himself created many of
the English programs still in place
today.
Jeptha Lanning, chairman of the
Division of Arts and Letters, was
a student in Sommer's American
Literature I and II classes in
1952-53.
''Dr. Sommer was very challeng-
ing and very enlightening; he open-
ed up a whole new field of study
to me," Lanning said.
Sommer taught 15 to 18 hours a
week, about six hours more than
most professors teach today.
"In
the evenings I would grade
papers," Sommer said.
Despite the difficult beginning at
Marist, Sommer believes he has
had an easy life. "Teaching," Som-
mer said, "is an offshoot of
scholarship."
Sommer's contributions outside
of Marist include the formulation
George Hooper
George Sommer, George Hooper and
Francoise Gregg have taught for a combin-
ed 95 years at Marist.
of the Mid-Hudson Modern
Language Conference. By 1975,
the conference's last year, Sommer
was editing and publishing a con-
ference journal.
Travelling to the Notre Dame
and Chartres Cathedrals of France,
as well as the rest of the United
States, are among the plans that
Sommer said he has lined up for
retirement. He also mentioned that
he has numerous "Book-like"
things and other writing projects in
mind.
One of Sommer's hobbies is
,making
toys out of wood for
children. In the past he has made
trains and Lincoln Logs. He said
he is
.
now looking forward to
building a doll house for his
granddaughter.
George Hooper
George Hooper smiles as he
thinks back. "It's always been a
nice place to work," he says as he
adjusts his bow tie. "It's a com-
munity."
Hooper has been a professor of
biology at Marist for the past 30
years. He replaced professor Paul
Stokes as the only biology pro-
fessor when he came to Marist out
of graduate school.
Hooper said he feels he "played
a greater role" in the beg1nning of
his career at Marist. After all, he
·
was the biology program. Hooper
said he now feels it is more difficult
to set policy" at Marist.
In 1969, the Division of Science
was established, ten years ahead of
every other division. Hooper
became the chairperson then and
has held the position since all but
three years when he stepped down
to concentrate more on teaching.
The position will be held by An-
drew Molloy next year.
Hooper said he is proud of help-
ing Marist grow and that although
"wealthier institutions can better
direct their destiny," Marist will
adapt in the years to come as it has
in the past.
Hooper said he looks forward to
having more free time in the future
but is uncertain as to how he will
adjust.
.
As for his plans for retirement,
Hooper
said
he hopes
to
do a
lot
of fly fishing,
a
sport he avidly par-
ticipates in. The two framed fishing
lures on his desk support his claim.
"I
am
also
thinking
of
publishing," Hooper said.
Francoise Gregg
Francoise Gregg came to the
United States on a Fulbright
Scholarship for law. After she gain-
ed a second Doctorate degree, in
French literature, Gregg came to
Marist.
The year was 1969, and Gregg
came to teach at Marist partly
because her husband was just
beginning his years as a Russian
teacher at Vassar.
Gregg, who refused an interview,
is known for her near perfect atten-
dance. Brother Joseph Belanger,·
professor of French, said, "She
missed one day of class in 20 years
of teaching; she had to fly to
France for a funeral."
Francoise Gregg
George Sommer
Belanger recalls the French plays
the assistant professor used to
coordinate in the 1970s. "She
directed the whole thing, she even
made the costumes," Belanger
said.
Gregg has directed
the
senior
thesis for the past twenty years and
she also served on the sabbaticals
committee.
"She was
a
very challenging,
demanding teacher,'' Belanger
said, "but she was worth every
minute of your time and every cent
of your tuition."
Belanger said that the "peak
years" of the French department
were in the
I 970s and that Gregg
began teaching half-time two years
ago as the enrollment in her French
courses dropped.
At the end of each year, Gregg
would hold a French dinner at her
house. "It was always just
superb," Belanger recalled.
On May 20, the college will
sponsor a retirement dinner for
Gregg in the Campus Center.
For Belanger, Gregg's departure
will leave
a
void in the French
department that will be tough to
fill.
"We will never get another
teacher like her," he said.
The past comes
·
back as the end pulls near
My mind is a plethora of ideas
cascading down a waterfall of emo-
tions into a tranquil pool of revela-
tion. Yet, still I search. I search for
peace. I search for meaning. I
search for knowledge. I search for
a column with no grammatical er-
rors. And as I search, my thoughts
go afloat, off course to a lost time.
A time never to be regayned.
Quickly, silence permeates the
room. My column lies motionless
in a dark wooden coffin. The
words remain but the meaning is
gone. Memories are all that is left.
It is a sad time, yet a happy time
just as well. It is a time of confu-
sion, and a time of complete
understanding.
Suddenly, one by one, memories
enter the room in an disorderly
fashion. People, places, events all
come to pay me their last respects.
And while I am aware, I cannot
respond, for my column is no
more.
First enters Bill Buckner. He
sports a thick mustache and high-
top spikes. He bends down to grab
one last look at my picture, but
misses. Maybe I'll give him another
chance, four years from now.
Paul Strowe enters. It's so nice
of him to remember. He leaves
quickly only to return again and
again. Finally, we lie to him and
say that calling hours have ended.
He sneaks in through an open win-
dow, anyway.
Jim and Tammy Bakker stop by.
No, please Tammy don't
cry.
But
now powerless, I cannot prevent
her from smudging my words.
Hey look, it's
Leo
1, our reunion
just over. They look amazed that
four years have passed. And now,
it's all over except for the
snoring ... guy.
Next, comes Skinners, the entire
bar.
It
lays a pitcher next to my
coffin. It must be a Wednesday.
It
goes to put on American Pie in my
honor, only to have the CD skip.
Sidetracked follows Skinners,
looking a little confused. "He was
so young," it says. "I remember
Ed McGarry
It's
a
little
known
tact
that
when he was just eighteen. But I
haven't seen him in a couple of
years."
Renny's is next, but is almost too
drunk to comprehend.
Leslie Nielsen comes for a
minute but explains he must leave
to go to the hospital. "The
hospital? What is it?" someone
asks. "A building with patients,"
he replies, "but that's not impor-
tant right now."
Charlie Sheen walks in wearing
old number 99. He looks a little
distraught. He's asked if he's okay.
"Yah,"
he answers.
Champagnat
5
hurries in. They
say it's showtime in 529. I want to
listen but I know that "It's time for
a show, it's time for a show, but
at this time, I just can't go."
The Kids in the Hall enter the
room. In tears, they announce they
are moving Down Under in my
honor.
River Day staggers up to me. At
first I have trouble recognizing it,
but soon it all comes back. Or at
least some of it.
Andrew
"Dice"
Clay is here,
wow, check it out. Laughing he
states, "So the column is dead. So
what. I ran over a cat yesterday.
You don't see me cryin'."
I think I hear .. wait ... yes ... it's
the New Kids on the Block! I think
they're going to sing me a song.
Oh. go figure. They just left to go
to Sidetracked.
"Hey
dude," I hear. Hey, my
man Bart Simpson. Look
,
the
undertaker is tf);ng to stop him
from writing graffiti on my col-
umn.
"Don't
have a cow, dude,"
he says.
Canterbury just passed by the
doorway, but didn't come in.
Matthew Vassar is here. I guess
he wants to thank me for attending
the celebration <;>f Founder's Day.
No problem, Matt, I'm always will-
ing to make a sacrihce. Talk to the
Marist people will ya', Matt?
On Matt's heels is the Village
People
.
They're probably coming
to honor me with a lip sync version
of "Stairway to Heaven" or
something like that.
Oh, how nice, 198 Main Street
is here, and they brought the fire
engines. I guess they will probably
dump :he ashes from the paper off
of the roof in my honor.
Pulaski Park meanders in. It is
nice to have another polack in the
room. He rests a case a beer next
to the coffin along with a
flashlight.
Presumably
the
flashlight is for those going to the

The best and worst
of
1989-90
If
this were a State of the Union ad-
dress, it would be an optimistic one.
What has been good about Marist this
year seems to outweigh what has been
bad.
The best of the year encompasses
academic strides, improved facilities and
diverse programming to accommodate
students who traditionally have not been
served
as
well by the campus as those
who
fit
typical
demographic
descriptions.
It's a good sign that the most impor-
tant part of the college, its academics,
is improving. Laying the foundation for
its future with rapid expansion over the
last several years -
and boosting enroll-
ment to pay for it -
our focus is turn-
ing back to academics, guided by the vi-
sion, like it or not, that the Strategic
Plan finally supplies.
Meantime, better academic conditions
on campus are being felt. Students now
have 24-hour access to personal com-
puters, the stacks in the Library are
open and more study space is available.
A computer lab is planned for the
Canterbury Garden Apartments. More
students are using the academic support
services at the Learning Center, and
there is more emphasis on strengthen-
ing students' writing
·
skills.
Outside the classroom, there are ad-
vancements toward sensitizing the com-
munity to those who sometimes get
pushed aside. Construction projects on
campus like the Donnelly Hall renova-
tion raised the importance of access for
individuals with disabilities
.
The campus is also trying to make
itself Jess forbidding to students who
traditionally have not had recognition or
representation, including adult children
of alcoholics and gay, lesbian and bisex-
ual students. With student prompting
and staff cooperation, support groups
have formed to address these and other
personal issues.
Marist has not seen success in com-
batting every area of weakness,
however.
There remain
·
s racial divisiveness on
campus. The Black Student Union and
other organizations have been active in
promoting recognition of racial and
ethnic differences, but the community
as a whole has ye(to appreciat~: this
diversity through
'
iiility
;
··
·
·
·
·
Perhaps that's
·
explained by the
counterproductive actions of a few on
this campus who have spent the year
vandalizing computer equipment and
library references.
Some of the year's memorable pro-
blems are not limited to the campus.
Dozens of students, guilty or not, were
bullied in the fall by overzealous city of-
ficials in cooperation with Marist ad-
ministrators, who too often were con-
cerned more with the school's reputa-
tion than with the housing problems
their students faced in a hostile town.
And we still haven't learned how to
make Route
9
a safe passage. It seems
as
though our best defense is to get out
of Marist East,
as
the skywalk to Skin-
ner's is not in the cards.
After all, progress has a limit around
here.
·
It's finally safe
During these nostalgic days, one thing will
soon become a memory for all of us, not just
for graduating seniors. It's Marist East.
We're anxiously waiting for that white
elephant of an academic building to plod to
its graveyard this summer when Marist aban-
dons most of it for The Dyson Center.
The color was all wrong. The decor was
atrocious. It bad to go. Besides, we were
dumping money into it that would be better
invested in a new building on our own pro-
perty, and aJI we were getting out of it were
windowless classrooms and a litany of fire
code problems.
Now there is word that a new wall may
finally satisfy the fire code regulations, which
are particularly complicated over there
because the space
is
split between classrooms
and offices in the front and a warehouse in
the back .
.
Marist paid about $20,000 of the $35,000
project; the landlord paid for the rest. Isn't
it peculiar that after stalling on the fire code
problems for
two
years, we sink that much
Editor's
_
Notebook
Bill Johnson
money into it just
as
we're about to dump it?
Administrators have always tried
to
find
the cheapest way of solving the problems
over there because they knew we wouldn't
be there much longer. It's understandable
that they tried to get the landlord. to take as
much responsibility as possibleforfixing the
building, reluctant to throw good money
after bad.
·
But why would they finally repair fire code
violations, which are presumed safety risks,
just when any danger would have ended?
Feel safe. Barring one more complication,
which can never be ruled out, Marist East
is presumably up to code, at long last. It's
safe for finals.

Living a liberal dream
I had a dream last night.
No, it wasn't anything as inspirational as
Martin Luther Kings's dream. I dreamt that
George Bush, Dan Quayle, Ronald Reagan,
Ed
Meese and other characters featured
regularly in this space were all huddled in the
Oval Office with Lee Atwater and Pat
Buchannan, figuring out the damage control
for 1:00 Thursday, when I take my final
revenge.
Oh well. Maybe in
25
years or so, but un-
til then dreams will have to do. Hopefully
the future
will
hold many more opportunities
to make those fellas' lives difficult, but
I
figure this is my last opportunity to address
issues that are closer to home.
For the past two years, this space has seen:
little about. Marist College and the doings
behind the scenes. That's because the per-
son writing it figured that eyes glanced at this
part of the page to sec one of two things: a
commentary on national and international
affairs or a non-pharmeceutical sleep aid that
works without fail. What you got out of it
depends on your point of view.
But, this being the
.end
and all, this col-
umnist figured that a somewhat detached
view on the affairs of these hallowed scaf-
foldings could be an inducement to either
greater thought to change in the way Marist
does business or the nap of the century,
whichever you prefer.
While all generalizations have some cracks
built in, the past four years have shown that
there are two major misconceptions floating
around here, the one held by the some in the
administration that the majority of students
are beer-guzzling booze bounds and the one
held by some students that the majority of
administrators are Victori~n-age Nazis who
get their greatest pleasure in life by making
sure that Marist students have as little fun
as humanly possible.
As I said, an overgeneralization, but the
undeniable bottom
.
line is that the ad-
ministration does not trust the students, and
the students do not trust the administration.
Pity the poor
·
staff and faculty; they're
caught in the middle of all this.
Some might attribute this Jack
of
trust to
the generation gap, but that's not the answer.
As a matter of fact, where this all began is
meaningless; the point is that this problem
has led to a lack of communication, which
has reached a point where it is beginning to
tear the college apart (you know us liberals,
we looove to paint a gloomy picture).
Students fume about the drinking policy
or being stuck out in Canterbury, but they
don't bother going through channels because
they are convinced that it will do no good.
The administration requires graduates to sign
a pledge that they won't embarrass the col-
lege at Commencement. There is a gap of
understanding there.
This is not to say that these convictions
don't have a basis in fact. I'm sure that more
than one student has been rebuffed in his or
her efforts to change things, and anyone who
viewed the 1988 Commencement debacle
would give at least momentary consideration
to putting the graduates in leg irons.
But things can
be
done
.
There are rational
arguments for changing the drinking policy,
such as that it would cut down on DWI and

we are, with students tearing pages out

Editor's Note
A.'l
article in last week's edition of The Cir-
cle reported the arrest of a Poughkeepsie
man who stole the purse of a freshman stu-
dent and included the name and a descrip-
tion of the mugger. The article should not
have mentioned that he was a black man, as
his race was not pertinent to the story. It is
not the intent or the practice of The Circle
to
perpetuate derogatory stereotypes.

ing Earth Day a huge success.
Special appreciation is extended to Bob
Lynch and Rich Roder for for their dedica-
tion and hard work throughout the weekend.
It is extremely encouraging to see the stu-

its head the other way in search of better
things to occupy their time?
After having made the original decision to
come here my senior year of high school, I
heard that Marist was a "party school." Mr.
Byrne~obviously thought so.J'hat reputation
isn't necessarily right on the money. "Suit-
case College" perhaps, but not a you-know-
what to the wall party school -
a reputa-
tion that both Marist and the City of
Poughkeepsie are seemingly trying to defeat.
Perhaps if the college would relax their ob-
noxious habit of being utterly reputation
conscious and, in turn, relax their ever pre-
sent choke hold on the students, then
perhaps this mysterious apathy would disap-
pear on both sides of the board.
Three times now I have been told by peo-
ple in the administration and housing offices
that, almost verbatim,
if
we don't like it we
can leave. My rebuttal to this is that the
"love it or lump
it,"
"my way or the
highway," rationale just doesn't work too
well. With a majority disagreeing, perhaps
change, or at least the open-mindedness to
consider change ought to be in the works.

I had planned to have "Marist College
1991" engraved inside, but I was told "ab-
solutely not" by the administration. Ap-
parently, the ceremony is abou_t blessi~g ~he
college symbol, not about blessmg the 1uruor
as a Marist College student.
I give a lot to this school as a student, as
evidenced by the number of women's swim
team records I hold, not to mention the five
designs I just recently presented in the Silver
Needle Award Fashion Show
.
Not only was I disappointed, but so was_
my family who drove
from Maryland to_
attend the ceremony.
As a result of this policy, I am not bless-
ed as Marist College junior, simply because
I wanted my family ring to represent the col-
lege ring.

Just what is Marist stressing here: the im-
portance of money (by investing- in ri~gs
from Jostens), or the importance of bemg

There's the problem, and I have the solu-

apathy in Marist's great generation of
growth. The college ought to look past its
moment of greatness with the campus-wide
changes going on and take a moment to face
who they often forget they are here for -
the students. Then maybe, just maybe, the
apathy would melt into nothingness.
I have enjoyed my stay at Marist. I have
made friends here that I will remember

Mark Aldrich and John Zbionski
Somewhere between A and Z, in the middle of seniors Mark Aldrich
and John Zboinski, Marist lost more than a few students in the now
defunct Science of Man honors program.
This month, dieh¥ds Aldrich and Zboinski, who stuck
it
out after
about 20 of their classmates abandoned the program, will be the col-
lege's last honors 2raduates.
·
Working on thei~ senior thesis now, Aldrich and Zboinski Iiave seen
the class dwindle from .six students in their sophomore year to three
students last year until the two commuters became the class.
Zboif!ski, a _biology major who plans to go to podiatry school after
graduation, said the program enabled him to take the top Marist courses
and broaden his P,erspective.
"Science of Man allowed me to see the human side of science and how
science canie about from the humanistic view -
how it developed from
the people," he said.
AIJhoug~ the pr~gram provides little recognition for its graduates,
Aldrich said, he enJoyed the experience.
"The things that you learned made it all worthwhile," he said.
2 Janet DiSimone and Jason Suttile
lnfo-tainment is out and poetry is in, at least for the editors of The
Mosaic who are reviving Marist's literary magazine.
Discouraged by the hap-hazard
assembly of last
year's issue, which
sold five copies, Janet DeSimone, a junior.English major, took it upon
herself to breathe new life into this Marist tradition.
With a little prompting from DeSimone, Jason Suttile, also a junior
English major, joined her and together they convinced Bob Lynch to
give the Literary Society the $1,700 needed to cover the magazine's prin-
ting costs.
·
"I
wouldn't be able to handle it if we lost that Marist tradition," Lynch
said. "Not only did Janet and Jason go with it, they got it out and peo-
ple are buying the magazine. They did a great job."
After four trips to the printer and 42 poetry and fiction entries, 35
cents is left in their budget. But the club's 25 members are already gear-
ing up for next year.
And that sometimes means anticipating the problems that the group
may face.
"The hardest thing to do is get people aware that there is a literary
magazine," Suttile said. "The staff we have works great together."
"But next year when we graduate, we don't want to see it end,"
Desimone said.

Tom Goldpaugh
Tom Goldpaugh likes to ask just one question and get an SO-minute
answer.
The 40-year-old English professor throws a question out to his students
and hopes it will spark enough interest to last the entire class.
"I
want to get students to stop looking at the world the way they do,"
Goldpaugh, a Brooklyn native, said.
"After they step back and examine how they view life, they are able
to make decisions, both inside and outside the class. Let's
face
it, once
a student gets out of college, there's not going to be a teacher there to
tell him how to think," Goldpaugh, who taught at Marist for four years,
said.
Many of his students respond well to Goldpaugh's high energy, hands-
on approach.
"I
like his style and the way he encourages us to think for ourselves.
I think he usually gets the most out of his students," said Michael Stec,
a sophomore from Scotia, N. Y.

Phil Koshkin
''He who does not take
part
in the actions of his
times can not
be judged
to have lived," said the late Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
Phil Koshkin first heard Holmes' words in a history classroom in the
eighth grade. He took them to heart.
Koshkin, the director of the community service program at Marist,
has spent the last two years bridging the gap between Marist and ·the
community.
The community
service
program provides a $500 tuition credit for
students who during a semester spend 12 to 14 hours weekly at local
agencies.
During his time at Marist, Koshkin has seen the program grow from
12 to 66 students who do public relations, work with children or senior
citizens at
24
organizations.
"I
feel in my small way that
I
am
making a difference," he said.
"I
think I'm also helping students make a difference. I'm tickled pink when
we
succeed."
Michele Mottola certainly has succeeded with Koshkin's help.
The junior accounting major, who's
been
with the community service
program since its inception in
1988,
received the service award at the ring
ceremony last Saturday.
• 'Phil is very dedicated,'• Mottola said. "Without him, the Community
Service Program wouldn't
be
as successful as it is now. He's interested
in the students and he takes his work personally."
Koshkin also coordinates Marist's involvement with special events
such
as "College for a
Day,"
an
event
that brought 40 kids from the Beacon
Community
Center
to
Marist.

"I feel that the Leaming Center is a very important resource and they

said sophomore Nancy Petrucci, who uses the Learning Center's servi~
regularly.
She's not the only one.
"We estimate that between the review sessions, the proofreaders and

Larry VanWagner
In 1976, when Larry Van Wagner came to Marist, it dldn't have a swim-
ming pool not to mention a men's swim program.
~II that changed_ in the past 14 years though as Van Wagner quietly
built the Red Foxes mto one of the strongest swim teams in its conference
making it Marist's most winning sports team over the last two seasons'.
The list of accomplishments include a 29-2 record in dual meets over
the
pas_t
two rears with a 20-!Deet winning streak and a convincing first
place victory m the Metropohtan Collegiate Swimming and Diving Con-
ference this year.
.
And many people say success in
an
intercollegiate sports program starts
at the top. At the top of Marist's swim program is Vanwagner.
For the second straight year, Van Wagner was named conference Coach
of the Year.
"Commitment is the major word in our program here " said Van-

t~em _to_ realize more of their potential than they ever have before. Win-
mng 1s Just the end result of that commitment. I have been very lucky
the past two years because I have had a very committed group of young
men," he said.
g Laura Trevisani
The crowd at Marist's final women's home basketball game erupted
into a frenzy when Laura Trevisani's last-second shot made it through
the hoop.
But the basket didn't decide the outcome of the game. Marist was
already ahead by 25 points. And all the women knew that when they
pressed, fouled and scrapped St. Francis (N.Y.) it was to get her the ball.
The Coach Ken Babineau knew
it
too when with two minutes left, he
removed all his senior players except Trevisani, a reserve guard, for the
last time.
Babineau wanted Trevisani, a four-time Jetter winner and "one of the
hardest working players that I've ever coached," to have last chance to
make a shot that would end her career with a bang.
Trevisani
was
the team's only non-scholarship player and never really
received as much playing time as more prominent players did, Babineau
said.
"Looking back over my four years, I have to say that my teammates
were all very supportive of me," said Trevisani.
"I
love them all. Even
though I was recruited by other schools,
I
never saw myself at any other
place than Marist."

8 Joe Stanford
What Joe Stanford and his staff stumble across may
change
t
.
he life
of one of his fellow Marist students.
In fact, it may give life to one of them.
Stanford, a computer science major from nearby Red Hook, founded
Emergency Medical Services, a group of about 50 students who unof-
ficially assist the college in a medical crisis.
The cost of liability insurance is preventing Marist from officially
recognizing the program.
"I
founded Emergency Medical Services because
I
care about people
and I want to help," he said.
"It's
hard when someone says you can't
help."
But Stanford certainly has offered his assistance in other areas.
Stanford's community involvement includes his posts as Northeast
regional representative for the Boy Scouts, national vice president of the
Explorer's, a volunteer fire fighter in Red Hook and a member of the
Dutchess County Disaster Team.
At Marist, Stanford is a member of the Commuter Union, the Com-
puting Society and the graphics research group. He works
as
a systems
operator in the Computer Center and tutors computer science courses
at
IBM.

"He's

Although Diane Perreira, director of Special Services, insists
what she
and her staff do on the first floor of Champagnat in the
Office
of Special
Services is far from special, many people would say otherwise.
"They're al~ays there when you need them," said Sean Kelly, a
sophomore from Monroe, Conn. "There's cooperation on both sides
-
between students and Special Services."
. Kelly is just one of about
115
students, half of whom are physically
disabled, that the office works with, Perreira said. For these students
Special Services arranges such things
as
recording textbooks on audi~
cassette, hiring personal aides to take care of students' everyday needs
and providing academic
and
social counseling.
Special Services provides the remaining students, who are learning
disabled, with tutors
to
help them keep pace in their studies, and they
offer extra suppo~ and counseling.
Last month, the office organized a Disability Awareness Week with
more than five events designed to increase student consciousness about
the obstacles disabled students face on campus.
Student workers in the office regularly
wear
the T-shirt "We make
education posst'ble ••• not special," Perreira's original slogan.

THE CIRCLE, MAY 3, 1990
To understand, you gottaspeak the language
This is it, or so they say. Time
for me to go away. It's been great
and its been fun; but alas, I must
run.
Before
I
go I've something to
say, not to Marist, for I've said
enough.
It's to my housemates those
wonderful blokes, who all reside at
the Talmadge LOC.
From our stoop, we've seen it
all, shootings, stabbings and play-
ing ball.
From shakedowns in the park to
drug deals gone bad, it's all so very,
very sad.
We lived, we learned, we even
developed our own language:
Talmadge Talk.
The guard with his white tee
shirts won't be forgotten. Then
again, neither will little Loyd, fat-
tie and the ugly stick chick.
"Buddy, did you feed the dog?"
"No, man,
I
just gave him a
cookie.''
"W AHH,
I'm driving a Porsche
ain't I? hhhmmmm."
"For Heaven's sakes, keep the
JD away from him he might go on
another bender. We won't see him
for another three weeks."

man it ferments. Then in East
Durham, every year, 10,000
bagpipers come down the moun-
tain for a big celebration."
"Dude,
I
got a little news flash
for you. Mustid is Mustid. Dude,
I ain't so sure I'm into that."
Yes, the quotes could go on
forever. The memories will last.
What we had was real. What we
had was meaningful. What we had
was lewd and disgusting, but all in
good fun.
Will we ever forget the Little Lou
Leglock? The Body, Bra and Lutes
school of liquid output?
How many times did we awake
to hear, "Oh my head, I'm never

again."

gram is a bit more distant, Myers said.
.
The idea for this exchange was conceived this past
March during the Spring Break visit to the Soviet
Union. Myers says she has already received three let-
ters from Soviet students who are interested in the
program.
An exchange program targeted for next year will
allow Marist students to take courses at the Universi-
ty of Kiev in the Soviet Union.
JoAnne Myers, assistant professor of political
science, said that Marist will take at least
20
students
plus faculty to the Soviet Union to take 10-day courses
·
including "Political Thought
III"
with Myers and
"Soviet Union Today" with Casimir Norkeliunas.
Any students interested should talk to both
Norkeliunas and Myers and take "Introduction to
Politics" and one additional philosophy course.
Myers said she is reluctant to put a cost on the trip
but she suggested it will cost at least as much as the
.
.
The brothers of
TAU KAPPA
Myers suggests that students take
a
semester of in-
tensive Russian before the exchange to give them "a
working base."
Only half the courses will be taught in English,
Myers said, expecting that journalism, politics and
language will be offered.
The knowledge gained by being there "is worth
volumes," Myers said. Marist students who have
visited the Soviet Union in the past have called it one
of the best learning experiences.

In Brief
Murray to receive
equal rights award
President Dennis J. Murray will receive the Americanism
Award from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith
this week.
The award recognizes leadership in the area of equal rights
advancement.
John E. Mack Ill, chairman of Central Hudson Gas and
Electric Corporation and chairman of the awards dinner
Saturday at the Radisson Hotel in Poughkeepsie, said Mur-
ray "exemplifies the spirit of Americanism and the spirit of
democratic heritage that the Anti-Defamation League stands
for."
President at Marist for 11 years, Murray has also been
active in the United Way and the American Heart
Association.
The league will award its Lifetime Achievement A ward
posthumously to Rabbi Erwin Zimet, the late Jewish leader
of Dutchess County.
"Thomas Jefferson said that one of his goals for the coun-
try was that we have an aristocracy based on talent and vir-
tue," Murray said. "In this country, people are to be
evaluated for what they are and what they do, and not on
their race, religion or country of origin. It is important that
we reaffirm these ideals."
Two students petition
graduation pledge
Two seniors will meet with President Dennis Murray to
discuss the petition they have circulated throughout the senior
class to remove the graduation pledge.
The pledge, first used last year, states that the seniors will
not consume alcoholic beverages before or during the com-
mencement ceremony.
If
a senior does not sign it, he or she
will not be able to··participate in the ceremony.
Seniors Bill Bastian and Tim Lydon said the petition ex-
presses the students' disappointment of the "administration's
blatant lack of faith in our ability to behave as responsible
adults." ·
"We're not saying that we want to drink there," said Bas-
tian. "That's not what it's all about. But for them to just
assume that the students here would be so rebellious because
of past experience," we're not the past graduating classes."
So far, 75 of the 626 seniors graduating have signed the
petition ..
THE CIRCLE, MAY
3, 1990
Vice President for Academic Affairs Marc A.
vanderHeyden said it is unfortunate the pledge is necessary,
but it is the only way the administration could be assured
students will behave.
Last year's senior class responded positively to the pled¥e
and the graduation ceremony was successful, said
vanderHeyden.
·
"If
there will be continued evidence that such
~
pl.edge
is not necessary in the future, I would love to see
11
disap-
pear " said vanderHeyden. "But we have .to see first some
evid~nce that the students will indeed do that, and we have
very little evidence of that so far."

Security guard dies
For the third time this year, the American flag was flown
at half-staff on campus to observe the death of a Security
worker.
· John George Gomes died of a stroke on Saturday, April
21, at St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie. He was 59.
Gomes, a retired corrections officer for the State of New
York, began work at Marist in 1980 as a van driver. In 1984,
he moved to Marist East, where he worked the security desk
at night.
·
Gomes "was very-well liked and will be greatly missed,"
said Tom McLain, assistant director of safety and security.
Gomes' survivors include a wife, two daughters and a son.

College to implement
digital phones
Administrators are about to pull the plug on the campus
telephone system this summer, replacing
it
with a "highly
integrated digital tele-information system," according to Carl
Gerberich, vice president for information services.
Gerberich said part of the reason for the change is the cur-
rent phone system in place just wouldn't be large enough
to accommodate the new Dyson Center.
"The old system does not have anything near the
capabilities the new system will have," Gerberich said. "The
new phones will be digital as opposed to analog, and the
system will be able to handle computer communications as
well," he said.
The Marist-IBM Joint Study will cover part of the cost,
but the amount has not been determined, Gerberich said.
The first phase of the new system will require replacing
all the phones on campus with digital phones, he said.
This will allow computers to share the same phone lines
instead of having to use separate ones, he said.

A
blackout
struck
the
Poughkeepsie area last Thursday,
leaving about 2,300 customers, in-
cluding Marist, without power.
The blackout occurred from
about 2:45 p.m. to 3:30 p.m ..
Tim Massie, a spokesman for
Central Hudson Gas and Electric
Corp., said a crewman working on
a power line caused an electric arc.
The arc disabled the .two circuits
that lead to the Reynolds Hill
substation, he said.
This substation directs power to
Marist as well as the City of
Poughkeepsie police station,
Massie said.
Freshman John Suzuki, from
Forest Hills,
N.Y.,
lost a JO-page
paper he was typing in the com-
puter lab in the Lowell Thomas
Communications Center.
"First it got dark and the screen
went blank," Suzuki said. "When
I realized what just happened I
went berserk."
Jeff Raymond, a senior from
Bogota,
N.J.,
said, "After five
minutes, the professor just told us
to leave." Power was restored in
time for 4:10 p.m. classes.
The workman, Blaine Kilmer of
Kingston, is in fair condition at
Westchester Medical Center in
Valhalla,
N.Y.,
said Massie.
Kilmer suffered first- and
second-degree flash bums to his
head and neck, Massie said. He
also suffered third-degree bums to
his ears, he said.

Initial phase
finished in
Donnelly job;
end far off
The first phase of the construc-
tion on Donnelly Hall is finished,
but there is still
a
long way to go
before the building is complete,
said Mark Sullivan, executive vice
president.
The initial phase, which includ-
ed
exterior reconstruction as well as
extensive renovation to the inside
of the building, is complete,
·
he
said.
.
However, bids for the second
phase, which includes more interior
renovations
,
just came in two
weeks ago, said Sullivan.
The final phase includes exten-
sive renovation to those offices not
yet finished, a renovated science
labs and improved electrical,
mechanical
and
fire alarm systems,
according to Sullivan.
Sullivan said he hopes the last
phase of the project won't cost
more than
$2
million. The total
cost of the project was first billed
at
$2
million before construction
began two years ago.
.
The administration and the
Board of Trustees will evaluate all
bids this week, and if one is ac-
cepted construction will begin im-
.
mediately after Commencement
and be finished by next fall,
Sullivan said.

"I
think we played really well,"
Messuri said. "The entire team
worked together -
it
was probably
one of our best games this year."
The high scoring did not roll
over into Sunday, however, as
Stony Brook took a
6-2
lead after
the first period and kept on going
to down the Red Foxes
21-9.
"We were hanging for a while,"
Messuri said. "We knew that
because of their good fast-break of-
fense we had to slow the pace down
and be patient. We tried but it
didn't work."
Steve Maloney led the attack for
the Red Foxes, tallying five points
- three goals and a pair of assists.
Andy Harrington scored twice in
the loss.
Marist was outscored in each of
the four periods which Messuri
.
said
surprised him.

game than last year's when we lost

that Maloney is, did have their
scoring moments
this
season. Tally-
ing 56 offensive points between
them, they accounted for ~ot~er
26 percent of the Red Foxes pomt
total. More importantly, the work
the pair did as captains seemed to
take some of the work off coach
Mike Malet - allowing him to en-
joy what he could of the 6-8 season
thusfar.
Despite being denied national

Finally, credit must

Followmg a 16-6 record this past season -14-4 in the regular season
- Marist hockey coach Bob Mattice was awarded the Metropolitan Col-
legiate Hockey Conference's coach of the year.
Mattice, who had been the coa~h at Our Lady of Lourdes high school
in Pou~hkeepsie, was the m!ssing Unk t~e team needed in order to gel,
accordmg
to
the team's assistant captam Kevin Walsh.
"He made an enormous difference," Walsh said. "He brought the
whole program together."
"Nobody could have done a better job," said senior captain Steven
Murray.
.
·
The hockey team was not the only one sporting a rookie coach this
past season -
the football team had one of
its own.
Rick Pardy, who took over as head coach when Mike Malet took the
position of assistant to the athletic director, led the Red Foxes to a 4-5-1
record -
and renewed hope for the future.
Among the changes Pardy initiated was the upgrading of the condi-
tioning program - making it a year-round process - and the more ef-
ficient use of a passing game.
Marist quarterback Dan O'Donnell set numerous passing records for
the Red Foxes last season - including most passing yards, attempts and
completions.
The women's basketball team completed its season without an NEC
title.
The Lady Red Foxes finished the year at 18-9, losing in the semi-final
round of the NEC tournament to Fairleigh Dickinson University.
One of the major stories to come out of the spring season was the
cancellation of the President's Cup.
The regatta which Marist has traditionally hosted each year was call-
ed off because the crews had to go to Albany to compete
in the New
York State Championships - a qualifying race for the Dad Vail Cham-
pionships held May
11-12.
·
This year marked the third time in six years that the regatta has been
scratched -
in 1985 and 1987 the race had to be cancelled because of
bad weather on the Hudson River.

It's not the _dean's list, but ...
by
The Circle's Sports Staff
There are many times when coaches will refer to a
.
certain situation as "a team effort."
·
·
While we are not trying to promote the idea of in-
dividual competition between teammates, there were
a number
.
of athletes which stood out in their respec-
tive sports -'-- in fact, too many to name - and they
·
deserve the recognition on The Circle's Honor Roll.
Although the success of the men's basketball team
can - and should - be called a team effort, without
juniors
Rod Henderson
and
Steve Paterno
the team
would not have notched a 17-11 record.
Paterno's team-high
14
points per game and the all-
around play of Henderson were important factors in
the success of the club. Both will be key performers
on next year's squad and should be able to contribute
in the same way.
The women's basketball team posted an impressive
18-9
_
record over the winter months, thanks in part to
Danielle Galarneau
and
Kim Smith-Bey.
·
Galarneau Jed the team
in rebounds, minutes and
field-goal percentage this year and without a doubt
she was the team's most consistent inside scoring
threat. Overall, she was also probably the team's most
valuable performer throughout the year. -
At the beginning of the year Smith-Bey was not a
starter. That soon changed, however, as she proved
herself to be the soul of this year's squad. Whether
it be pulling down a gutsy rebound, or shutting down
the opponent's top scorer with some in-your-face
defense, Smith-Bey was the player coach Ken Babineau
looked to.
For the first time ever, the Marist hockey team made
the final four of the Metropolitan Collegiate Hockey
Conference this year - also marking the first time a
team from outside the conference's top division - the
Empire -
has made it to the final four.
· Although much credit must be given to conference
coach of the year
Bob Mattice,
the team leaders
deserve just as much credit for the success.
Captain
Steven Murray,
besides having impressive
on-ice stats (5 goals, 19 assists) and receiving an
honorable mention for the league's scholar athlete
award, was instrumental in keeping the team together
as a unit, Mattice said
.
"At the beginning of the year they were a couple
of different cliques," Mattice said. "By the end of the
year they were a team
.
"
While Murray handled any team problems, it was
assistant captains
Michael DeCosta
and
Kevin Walsh
who did the administrative work
in addition to their
on-ice production .
"When (Mattice) came in as coach last fall, all he
wanted to do was coach," Decosta said. "That's what
he did- we took care of the rest."
Under the direction of first year coach Rick Pardy,
the football Red Foxes finished the year with a 4-5-1
mark, improving their record of a year ago.
It was an aggressive defensive backfield that was the
key ingredient in the success of the Red Foxes this year.
Bob Mealia, Steve Merenda, Jolin Gahan
and
Greg
Chavers
led the charge for Marist as they sparked the
defensive effort with aggressive blitzing and tough
single coverage assignments.
Last year, as the men's tennis team was rounding
out its spring season,
Stan Phelps
was in Australia.
Phelps returned to the squad this year from his year
of studying abroad and gained the number one spot
on this spring's squad. Although it was a tough ad-
justment at first, Phelps played consistent enough dur-
ing the year to win the singles consolation bracket
championship in the Northeast Conference
championships
.
With his graduation this spring, the
Joe Rubel
era
comes to an end for the Marist men's swim team.
Bubel was the most successful swimmer this program
has ever seen, end of discussion. He was named most
valuable swimmer in the conference tournament the
last two years and led the Red Foxes to their first ever
conference championship this year.
Before he went down with a knee injury,
Shawn
Scott
was the soccer team's leading scorer. When he
was in the game, Scott was always a threat to score
even though he played for a team that often had trou-
ble putting points on the board.
When Scott went down with the knee troubles,
many thought Marist's offense might evaporate com-
pletely. It didn't happen though, due in large part to
Mark Edwards'
picking up the slack. For a stretch of
nearly a half-dozen games, Edwards was the most
dangerous scorer on the team. He was the only Marist
player to be named
NEC
player of the week this year.
The lacrosse team still has
a
game
left
to go on its
schedule which gives senior
Steve Maloney
a chance
to add to his team-leading point total before the season
ends. Maloney -
barring any major miracles -
will
finish with the most points for Marist. He has racked
up
40
points so far this season, nine more than his
nearest teammate and nearly
20
percent of the teams
total offensive production this season.

About

alumni will be return-

year's team for a game that usual-

ding to Messuri.

"It's always
-
a fun game," he

said. "They always try to come in

and kill us - but they never do."
Messuri said the game al.so gives
the alumni a chance to check up on
the program.

"When a lot of them played the
program
was
not the size that it is
now," he said. "Since they con-
tribute money for the program,
they want to make sure
it's being
put to good use. They always take
the game more seriously than we
do."
The
Red
Foxes split in their ac-
tion last weekend, dropping Satur-
day's game at the U.S. Merchant
Marine Academy, then rebounding
to defeat Stony Brook at home on
Sunday.
Last Saturday, the
Red
Foxes
outscored the Merchant Marine
Academy 7-1 in the second period
- after
a
scoreless first - on their
way to
a
17-2 win.
Scott
Zalucky led the way for the
Marist offense with five points -

Following the New York ·State

Tu.esday.
Despite the weekend finishes,
Davis said . Marist has a good
chance of pre-qualifying for the

"I think we.are ina·strong posi-

Be/ ore moving forward,
let's take a look back
by
JAY REYNOLDS and MIKE O'FARRELL
Staff Writers
Marist athletics has entered the 90s.
New players, new staff, new decade.
Some teams had seasons to be proud of -
others,
well ...
It was Director of Athletics Gene Doris who said
last fall that Marist's decision to switch from the Nor-
theast Conference to the East Coast Conference was
part of the "foundation work being done" in the
athletic department.
Although the planned move would not be a big one
for the basketball program, it would develop others.
"In
the other sports," Doris said, "I think the ECC
has more of an emphasis on the sports than in some
cases the NEC had - which will help our program."
It was also Doris who said last winter that lack of
credibility, lack of league competitiQn and lack of
league stability led Marist to back out of the ECC and
remain in the more stable NEC.
With teams leaving the ECC at a blistering pace,
Doris said Marist was concerned.
"If
this were business, I think anybody who was
running the business would start to look into the op-
tions Marist had in order to protect itself," he said.
When the NEC voted unanimously to allow Marist
to return -
a requirement for reinstatement in the
NEC - Doris said that was the best route to go ... for
now.
''Right now the NEC provides
us
with a good poten-
tial for growth," he said. "As far as conferences in
general are concerned, I don't think that we've seen-
the end of conference changes,"
. . .... - - -
Doris stepped into the director of athletics job on
July 24, 1989, replacing Brian Colleary- who resign-
ed April 28 to take the director of athletics job at Du-
quesne University.
Doris said one of his main goals is to continue Col-
leary's efforts to concentrate marketing efforts in the
New York area.
"I think it is essential to keep the link in the
metropolitan area,'' he told The Circle last September.
"We have a lot of our alumni working in the city and
they want td have the ability to see a Marist (basket-
ball) game so they can brag''a little bit -
be a little
proud."
Alumni -
as well as students -
could be proud
of the men's basketball season this year.
After losing John Kijonek and Miro Pecarski to
graduation, the top two recruits to academics and
point guard Reggie Chambers for "personal reasons,"
the preseason outlook for the team was not the
greatest.
Many predicted the team would finish near the bot-
tom of the
NEC
but it finished with a respectable 17-11
record and third in the NEC despite not having a pro-
ven scorer.
Marist was the only team in the NEC this season
to defeat each of its conference opponents at least
on~. However, the Red Foxes' offense stalled in the
second half of their frrst-round conference tournament
game against Wagner.
Marist lost at home 69-63.
"(In the second half,) we took some bad shots and
we were unable to C<lme up with the big plays," Marist
coach. Pave Magarity said after the game.

Netters end with .500 week
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Staff Writer
The men's tennis team wrapped
up the spring season last week after
playing four matches in four days.
The Red Foxes were able to win
two of the matches; however, they
dropped the last match of the year
to Mercy College 7-2. The loss
evened the overall record at 7-7
with a 6-5 spring season mark.
Against Mercy, the Red Foxes
had one singles winner and one
doubles winner. Freshman John
Favazzo was the lone singles win-
ner defeating
his
opponent
6-4,
6-3.
Rob Kirk and Jon Petrucci, two
seniors, paired up in the final
match and defeated their doubles
opponents 8-3.
Coach Terry Jackrel said she was
pleased with the team's effort
toward the end of the season but
mentioned that there was a bit of
a let down.
"We had a good year," she said,
"but it was hard to play four mat-
ches in a row at the end of the
season - especially when it was so
hot.
"There was a let down because
of it,· I think we lost our com-
petitive edge."
On
April 25~·the-Red Foxes
earn-
ed-tlieir last victory of the year
when they defeated St.Rose 8-1.
Number one player Stan Phelps
struggled to beat his opponent 7-5,
7-5.
Junior Jim Cagney, playing the
number two spot, won easily 6-1,
6-3. Chris Trieste beat his opponent
6-1,
6-0
while Favazzo continued to
play well knocking off his foe 6-0,
6-0. Jamie Breen won his match
6-2, 6-2 and Tom Arcuri won his
7-6 (7-2), 6-1.
Cagney and Favazzo, and
Petrucci and Don Pingaro teamed
up to form the two successful
Marist doubles squads. The victory
over St. Rose was the final win of
the season for Marist.
On April 24, Marist was handed
a tough
5-4
loss by Quinnipiac
College.
Cagney continued his fine play
in the number two spot to defeat
Steve Eisler 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 -
finishing the season with an 8-3
singles record.
Favazzo was the only other
singles winner for the Red Foxes.
It took Favazzo three sets to
dispose of Lance Dellacroce, 7-5,
4-6,
6-0.
.
Favazzo, just a freshman, finish-
ed his singles season with a 10-2
mark and he also compiled a
doubles mark of 10-1.
. "It
was a good year for us," she
said. "I'm anxious for next year as
the team should be even stronger
and more experienced. We had a
good showing in the conference
tournament and the guys were
pleased with themselves so
I can't
complain."
·
Promises, promises ... and still no baseball
There
I
was, sitting in the
bleachers at Fenway with a couple
of dogs and a hot pretzel while
quickly going to . work on my
fourth frothy lager.
We had taken my Chevy to the
park anq we were ready for the
game to start -
I
d_on't think it
already had -
when the guy
next
to me noticed my Marist sweat-
shirt. Tums out he graduated in
1982.
."Great day for a ball game!" he
said. "You know, when
I
w~ at
Marist,
I
always wished
I
could
watch a Marist
baseball
team play,
but they said the team would be
starting in 1986. How's
this
year's
team?"
Embarrassed,
I informed him
that Marist still does not have a
team and returned to my pretzel
and frothy
lager
(the hot dog dogs
were gone by now) and
began
to
ponder the question of how people
get those
wooden
ships into those
little bottles.
Sorry O faithful readers, I just - - - - - - - - - - - - - - nounced it was leaving the Nor-
la~
into a Wes Zahnke column-
theast·Conference to join the East
writimt mode.
Coast Conference last year.
Four years ago when most of
this
year's graduating_ class was going
through the rigid admission ·pro-
cess,
all indications were that
Marist would have
baseball
by 1988
at least - and definitely before we
graduated in 1990.
Then
thin~
began to become a
little clearer:
The Lowell Thomas Center was
supposed to be opened in the fall
of 1986. Missed that one, didn't
we.
Canterbury was supposed to be
a
ghost town by the time we left -
now they're installing
a
computer
lounge.
And how
about the Marist Mall?
Enough said about that.
With all these goings-on, could
we
have really expected Marist to
go
against
tradition and begin a
baseball team when they said they
were going
to?

Thurs_day
Morning
Quarterback
Imagine some high school senior
trying to decide
between a
school
like Marist, which
says
it will have
baseball in the near future, and a
school like Arizona State, a school
with a highly-respected baseball
program.
That
example
might
be
a little
ex-
treme, but
there
is
something about
the idea of
a
brand new baseball
program that interests people.
A baseball program almost
seemed
a
reality
when
Marist
an-
Baseball was one of the pro-
grams Marist would have had to
start as a result of joining the ECC
and former Director of Athletics
Brian Colleary said the team would
hit the field in the soring of 1991.
Ha ha -
fooled you~
Marist realized the ECC was
basically going nowhere and so
decided to stay in the NEC.
Director of Athletics
Gene
Doris
now
says
the plans
are
still there,
they've
just
been
pushed back a
year
and
the
team
will
take the field
in
1992.
OK -
I
don't want to play
"Doubting Thomas" here, but I'll
believe it when
I
see
it.
For now, though, for a good
game of college baseball, try Dut-
chess Community College.
It's
embarrassing
that
a
two-year
school like that
can
have the
peren-
nial winning teams that it does -
at a good level of competition.
Marist could use a program like
that - and who knows, maybe the
school would even keep the team
in Poughkeepsie for parents'
weekends .
