go
toward salary and fringe benefit in-
creases to all Marist employees,
as
well as repaying the loan for the
Charles Dyson Center, said
An-
thony Campilii, vice president for
business affairs.·
"When we looked at the budget,
we addressed the needs of the en-
tire campus and set priorities for
the following year," Campilii said.
The budget increase comes from
the 8.2 percent rise in tuition,
greater student enrollment and
retention, adult education revenues
and money that was spent to lease
Marist East, Campilii said.
According to Campilii, almost
40
percent of the budget increase
will go to salary and fringe benefit
increases for Marist employees
across the board. He said Marist
Fringe benefits include social
security, medical insurance, pen-
sion program, workers' compensa-
tion, life insurance, total dental in-
surance and payroll truces.
"Marist is a labor intense
organization," Campilii said. "In
order to keep good people, as well
as attract good p~ple, we have to
pay a fair wage. We have to keep
competitive salaries at all levels."
Marist also hired five new full-
time faculty this year.
Almost 30 percent of this year's
budget increase
will
go toward
repaying the college's debt service.
The payments are
20
annual in-
stallments of about $1.2 million to
the New York State Dormitory
Authority, Campilii said.
The debt service includes the
operational costs of the Dyson
Center, as well as the mortgages for
both the Dyson Center and Lowell

"The

Checking out the latest in musi<;, for Woody
Tuesday, August 14, 1982 was
the day I met Woody. During our
six- year friendship, Woody had
never said my name. Still, he was
one of closest companions I could
have hoped to know.
My first job, the paper route I
held the summer preceding seventh
grade, made my friendship with
Woody possible. When I began this
four-block excursion through my
Staten Island neighborhood, my
goal was nothing more than buy;-
ing a parakeet. I was excited at hav-
ing the opportunity to earn
something honestly through my
own labor. Besides, the "sea
monkeys" I got for Christmas
weren't much fun.
As I ran through the route, I
would map out in my head exactly
how my feathered friend would be.
He was to be the coolest of all
parakeets simply because he would
be mine. The moment I saw him,
I knew he was the bird for the
dubious- job of being my uncondi-
tional buddy.
Being the eyes and ears of my
adolesence, the poor little guy
.
put
up with a
·
lot. He saw it all, from,
my first day
.
of high school to the
ultimate culmination of teen angst
- the ever-awkward Junior prom.
Any moment I spent in teenage
self-pity, I blasted music. This was
the Wood-man's favorite part of
knowing me. Music seemed to
amuse him to no end. The radio
was such a life-force for him that
every now and then I felt obligated
to keep on the stereo as I left the
room.
With every song, he would ex-
amine where the beat was going
and then determine what he wanted
to do with it. I personally loved his
swaying dance performed to The
Pretenders' "Brass in Pocket."
· Yet, if something struck
him
as too
basic or repetitive, ·he would sit it
out altogether. This was one bird
who liked music with an edge.
His big favorite was the first
song I played in his presence,
"Black Cofee in Bed" by Squeeze.
One morning when I was in eigth
grade, the Woodster woke me up
by whistling the refrain to this
song. Every time I play it, it's like
a dedication going out to
.
bird
heaven, where my five-inch friend
is still groove'n.
Woody always had ear for things
that seemed to slip past others. So,
in his honor, I'll take this oppor-
tunity to hip-you-up to some new

releases that may otherwise slip
past you. Besides, I need to take a
break from film as I, for the time
being, refuse to acknowledge the
existence of any film that is not
"Goodfellas."
"World Clique", the debut
album by the disco triplet Deee-
Lite, is the dancefloor's finest mo-
ment right now. The act's introduc
-
tion theme alone beams more ex-
citement than most dance singles
out now.
If
you frequently go out
dancing and you haven't heard
either one of this album's lead
tracks, "Groove is in the Heart"
or "What is Love,'; you must find
a new floor to shake it on. In fact.-
if you like dan_cing at all, you are
obligated to adore "Groove is in
the Heart."

MIPO's future: more than just polling
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Staff Writer
You can tell from the name,
what the Marist Institute for Public
Ooinion does best. But MIPO is
about more than just public
opinion.
This upcoming semester, besides
engaging in the usual pre-election
day polling, MIPO will be involv-
ed many other campus activities.
For instance, as a guest lecturer,
the institute brought in the
Brooklyn prosecuting attorney· in
the Howard Beach trial.
"It is going to be a very full year
for us," said MIPO director Dr.
Lee Miringoff. "We have a lot of
different things planned, not only
in terms of the polls, but there will
once again be keynote speakers

Marist . .
Her fashion design portfolio

June, which established an intern-
ship this semester with one of the
top fashion designers in the world:
Carolyne Roehm. It
is
the first time
a Marist student has interned with
a designer at this level.
The internship takes her to 7th
Ave. in New York City two days
every week, where Predmore has
various duties, including coor-
dinating the layouts of Roehm's
press books, sketching accessories,
dressing models for interviews, and
assisting many. members of the
staff.

One of the speakers coming to
Marist will be Joe Hynes, the
Brooklyn District Attorney. Hynes
was the prosecuting attorney in the
Howard Beach trial. He will discuss
current conditions and problems in
New York City, said Miringoff.
In February, there will be a
roundtable discussion of political
reporters discussing campaign
coverage in
1992.
Appearing at the
discussion will be Michael Oreskes
of the New York Times and Bon-
nie Angelo of TIME magazine.
"These events arc for the Marist
community as a whole," said Mir-
ingoff. "They offer students the
opportunity to learn things first
hand from professionals in the
field."
Also new this year is the addition
of an annual newsletter called The
Polling Place.
"The newsletter is just another
way of getting Marist known," said
Miringoff.
"It
is done by the
students and shows their views of
what goes on here."
Despite appearing in the New
York Times five times during a one
week period, publicity is nothing
new to MlPO.
MIPO was on the cover of the
Empire State Report last year and
is frequently listed in many
newspapers and magazines.
"Because we are independent,
we are a premium source of infor-
mation," said Miringoff. "Our
reputation has also made us a
source for the New York area.
When a reporter needs some infor-
mation regarding an election or
particular issues, we get
.a
call."
Miringoff is quick to praise
students for their part in MlPO.
"There are over 300 people involv-
ed," he said. "This wasn't plann-
ed, when this was formed,

New buildings are not the only
things sprouting up on campus.
William T. Perrone, the curator
of the Marist College Campus Ar-
boretum, said the college is pro-
viding a "home for trees" and his
students are helping to preserve
them.
"The Marist College Campus
Arboretum is developing rapidly
and moving forward on several dif-
ferent fronts," said Perrotte,
associate professor of biology.
"We hope it will be an ongoing
process."
Perrotte's botany class is collec-
ting leaf samples of the 40 different
species of trees - oak, maple and
pine the majority -
between the
South Entrance
and
Donnelly Hall.
Once the tree's botanical name
has
been
identified, the students
will do
a weekly
observation of the
changes in the tree, including
measuring the growth and height of
the tree.
The class is also computerizing
their listings and can pinpoint each
tree on a computerized map of the
campus.
"We've never had the students
go out and keep a weekly diary of
the trees (before)," said Perrotte.
"It
takes an enormous amount of
time and organization."
Perrotte said he would like the
campus to have a park-like at-
mosphere where people could walk
around with a brochure of the tree
locations.
The arboretum, began in
1985
by
Perrotte and Thomas Casey, assis-
tant professor of philosophy and
associate curator of the arboretum.
In June 1986, Marist officially
became an institutional membeT of
the American Association of
Botanical Gardens and Arboreta
(AABGA).

Thinking
Between
The
Lines
It has become very fashionable lately
to
pronounce Mikhail Gorbachev's
political
death sentence.
Many
·
people are saying he's
going
to
be
hold a~untable for his country's desperate
economic woes.
He's contradicting himself,
they say.
He pushed the Soviet Union
toyrard ~e
multiparty system, yet all the
while he
m-
sisted communism was not dead.
With glastnost,
he
opened the
country's
closets exposing past
generations of
skeletons. But now he shrouds his ad-
ministration
in
new laws prohibiting aiticism
of his m:.~idency.
He openly acknowledges it was wrong for
Stalin to annex Lithuania, but
even today,
he refuses to give the republic its freedom.
And that's not all.
Because if somehow he is able to endure
this tenure of contradictions, which many
believe is possible, then the regional ethnic
strife that characterizes the Soviet Union as
a whole, will surely topple his
power.
The problem with these pessimistic predic-
tions
is
that only one political option
remains
in
the Soviet Union - and that's Gorbachev
- so basically it's a take-it or talce-it situa-
tion. (That's compared to
a
talce-it or leave-
it situation.)
These people - meaning scholars, foreign
policy consultants and various other think-
tank types (say that three times fast) - have
been announcing Gorbachev's decline for the
last year and
a
half now.
And for the last
year
and a half now, Mr.
Gorbachev
has
consistently been
pulling
off
political and legislative coups like
he
did
last
week.
In
case
you
missed
it, Gorbachev was
given
a strong
mandate
by
the Soviet
legi.slaturc
to
resurrect
the ailing Soviet
economy.
the
Soviet
parliament
voted
305-36 to give
Gorbachev 18 months to switch from
a
· c e n t r a l ~ economy to a market-
oriented ecpnomy. The catch is, and it's a
big
one,
that
he
gets
to do it his way.
.
These
new
powers
may make Gorbachev
one of the most powerful men on the face
of the
planet.
This
is what
terrifies his political
adversaries.
Boris
Yeltsin, a name everyone should be
familiar
with
(hint: he's the president of the
Russian
republic and arguably the most
popular
politician in the U.S.S.R), called
Gorbacbev's new powers "impermissible."
Yeltsin
is in agreement with Gorbachev
in
that the ·economy·should be switched from
a centralized one to
a
market one, however
he is in disagreement with the way Gor-
bachev is planning to do it.
Yeltsin said, and I hope the economic
jargon doesn't confuse anyone, the
plan
is
like "trying to mate a snake
with
a
hedgehog."
Well put Boris. We shall

It

to bring
70
of the worlds most powerful and
influential leaders together simply to an-
nounce they want to spend MORE money
on insuring minimum standards of life for
the worlds children.
Converging on New York this past
weekend for the United Nations summit on
children, world leaders got together for what
is viewed
as
an important step in fostering
post-Cold War international unity.
Certainly the issue is an important one,
evidenced by the 15 million children age five
or under who die of newborn tetanus,
measles, diarrhea and respiratory infection,
each year.
It is not so important to bring these heads
of state together,
as
a matter of formality,
to announce the long-range goals of the
United Nations Children Fund.
Now, I'm not convinced the U.N. is the
best vehicle to accomplish the stated goals
of UNICEF which include; guaranteeing all
children access to clean water and basic
education, cutting malnutrition in half,
eliminating polio and other preventable
diseases along with cutting infant mortality
and labor deaths,
all
by the end of the cen-
tury. But, political grandstanding by world
leaders is deplorable.
Using U.N. initiatives to further personal
support at home is even worse and President
Bush is guilty on both counts.
The ironies continue.
Mr. Bush came to New York over the
weekend
as
the symbolic keynote speaker to
endorse the international communities most

children.
While 109 countries have agreed to ratify

If life's got you down lately and you could
use a bitter laugh, check out the new college
catalogue Marist has put together. ·
If
you haven't seen it yet, I'm surprised.
It can hardly go unnoticed.
However, you might have mistaken it for
a rerun of the Hollywood
Squares,
consider-
ing the nine pictures are so strategically plac-
ed on the cover. (Personally, I would have
placed
Dr.
Murray's picture in the center
square).
.
Or maybe you thought it was a commer-
cial for Crest due to all the gleaming white
chompers smiling out at you. Now there's
a unique
slogan: "Come to Marist -

through
these
"M's" the readers are sent

messages which cause them to
write out checks to Marist College.
No one in their right inind would give
Marist money, but what if they're mind was
altered
in
some way?
"Your Future is Our Tradition." This
is
the brilliantly introspective motto they've
come up with and placed _on the first page.
To think,

What a relief it was to find out that my

practices and doctrines which have been so
kindly handed down to me.
I guess this means
I
should spend my
future working for security when I grow up
considering all the grief and parking tickets
they have handed down to me.
Then we come to the president's greeting
and there's a picture of Dennis Murray in a
navy
suit
with a red tie, interacting with some
Marist students.
It
really is quite a touching
picture. It could almost make your
eyes
misty
- yet it doesn't. By the way,
I
heard the out-
fit

designed by
Carmine
Porcelli and ac-
tually won
a ..
Silver Needle Award" for
originality, but you know how rumors get
started.
All
this catalogue shows is that Marist
takes
a good picture. The photographers that
worked on this project sure were lucky;
everyone they snapped looks so happy -
there's not a sign of discontentment or.
frustration anywhere.
Allow me to pose a few question's:
Where were the cameras during registra-
tion when a late-comer walked to the front
- of the line by accident and the savage crowd
started chanting "Crucify him, Crucify
him!?"
Where are the pictures of Donnelly and
all
the workmen (whom
I
now know by first
name cause they've been there
so
long) ham-
mering and drilling while you're trying to
concentrate during literature class?
How about
a
close-up of the senior's face
who just was handed a Mccann parking
sticker after being told that's all there
is
available? Now that would be a poignant
picture.
Where were we?
Ah,
yes. Photography!
I feel like I
am
reading National Geographic
when
I
look at
this
catalogue. Some of the
views are breathtaking, but unless you're
planning to float on
a
raft for the rest of your
life, (No offense
Mr.
Twain, by the way
I
loved your quote on page 2) the river
shouldn't greatly influence your choice of
college, nor should it dominate an institu-
tion's profile.
Marist's bookstore gets a plug by having
all
the latest "fox fashions" displayed on one
full page. On the page directly opposite of
-this, our subliminal "M" friend appears
once again.
One of the best
parts
of the catalogue
reads, "Marist is a leader in the innovative
use
of computer technology." This
is
printed
in big, bold letters.
How come after you have been up all night
writing a massive paper for your
8: 15
class,
and just as you
are
about to print it, you
can
not find a printer that either works, or has
more than a
shred
of paper
in
it?
The glossy paper the catalogue is made of
is quite
nice. It's thick enough so
you don't
have to lick your
fmger
to tum the page.
As
a country of enormous wealth and
resources we can't even take care of our own
people; The same day the New York Times
reported the U.N. events, (last Sunday) it
also reported a reality that strikes closer to
home: The infant mortality rate in Harlem
is the same as Malaysia.
If
we take President Bush's summit
posturing at face value, that is to support
committing funds to the U.N. initiative, how
will he respond to people in Harlem asking
why their own government has a more com-
pelling interest to pump money into
a
pro-
gram that
will
likely benefit Malaysians more
than it will Americans?
It's ironic. It's reality.
BY THE
WAY ...
Last weeks Letter to the Editor by Chris
Bautista brought.up some interesting points
about the relative lack of support by Marist
students for Marist athletes.
He's right. It is sad that few students ac-
tually showed-up for the pep rally Friday,
Sept.
21.
Question: How many students actually
knew about it?
Absent on campus advertising through
posters, the Weekly Happenings bulletin and
The Circle, few people could have possibly
known it was taking place.
To the best of my knowledge, the
cheerleaders were not even told until 48 hours
before the rally.
The efforts to create a "Student Booster
Club" should be applauded and supported
and I hope Mr. Bautista is successful in his
efforts but just because the club exists does
not give it instant credibility.
The surest way to alienate potential sup-
port is to whine about how much you think
you deserve it.
Mr. Bautista said, "How can we (students)
expect them (athletes) to
win
if they don't
even have anyone to cheer them on?" Yet
I have to ask if receiving cheers and admira-
tion is the reason why student- athletes
engage in extracurricular sports. (I'm refer-
ring here to the athlete not on scholarship,
that's a different story.) Does the number of
people in the crowd show up in the victory
and defeat columns?
Yes, of course I realize that having a sup-
portive_ home-crow(J. is a '\)oost, but, the
number of wins on the playing field are not
directly proportional to the number of peo-
ple in the stands.
Ifit were, the men's basketball team would
never lose and the swimming and diving
teams would never win.
Kevin St. Onge is The Circle's political
columnist.
Poster freedom
Editor:
After reading last week's article
on the Phony Flier, and having
been an undergraduate at Marist,
it dawned on me that the owner of
this fickle flier may have had a
more meaningful reason for the
"Approved Posting".
As
an
undergraduate,
.1
was
always wondering what magical
power the "Approved For Posting
- Activities Office" stamp on fliers,
posters and other materials, really
had. Will the staples and thumb
tacks fall out without this stamp?
I
think our phony last week prov-
ed that this is not the case.
Let's face
it,
the Marist Com-
munity is a fine group ot" mature
people who are pursuing higher
education (and maybe a little fun
while we're at it. .. ). The stamp of
the activities office on our adver-
tisements does not l~nd to any lear-
ning experience othertlian p(oving
that cerisorshi{arici bureiticiacy is
something to be avoided.
The activities office would be
wise to give up its magic and rely
on the integrity of the Marist peo-
- pie before more potent posters
appear.
Chris Algozzine - Class of
'89
and currently an MIS Grad
student.
I guess it must not be innovative anymore
to purchase working printers and hook them
up, or refill them with paper -
that's old
stuff now. With the powerful
3090-200E
model, who needs these primitive piles of
junk. Well, I think the students at Marist
need them:
My absolute favorite part of this book is
found in Dennis Murray's opening saluta-
tion. Gosh, what a way with words.
There are two little cards at the end of the
book
that you
can
mail to receive more in-
fonnation about
Marist.
(Typically found in
a college catalogue.)
One for you, and one for your worst
enemy.
Marist even
springs for
the postage.
That's a nice touch.
He says that "there is no other college in
America quite like Marist."
President Murray, you can sure say that
again!

Offensive line a key part
of
gridders success
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
The old adage
says
that the game
is won or lost in the trenches.
Chris Marzo, Tom McKieman,
Kevin McKieman, Jason Menu and
John Higgins agree.
Although they go virtually un-
noticed, the Marist College offen-
sive line has been a key factor in the
early season success of the Red
Foxes.
Marist, which received a bye this
past weekend, is currently
3-1
overall and 2-0 in the Atlantic Col-
legiate Football Conference.
The
work
of the front five has
allowed the Red Foxes to use a
well
-
balanced ball control attack.
Marist has run for over 100 yards
in each of its four games with the
highest total being 220 yards
against Gallaudet University.

Christine Baker who won their
match
1-S.
1-6, 6-3.
Menu, a junior
.
said that condi-
tioning is a big part of the line's
success. "The reason we~ go on
is conditioning. Late in a game, we
are still alive and working real hard
because we know that in order for
the team to win, we have to win,"
he said.
Head coach Rick Pardy agreed
that conditioning is a major part of
success. "They know they have to
prepare
.
They are getting stronger
and faster."
Senior right tackle Tom McKier-
nan said the line itself is a leader.
"
We, as a unit, are the leaders. We
have to bust holes for the backs
and we have to give Danny
(quarterback Dan O'Donnell) time
to throw. The entire offense
revolves around the job we do," he
said.
Menu agreed.

tals. "We work real hard," he said.
'!Coach Palombo puts a lot of em-
phasis on holding our blocks. We
know we aren't the biggest line
around, but we don't let up. We
are very persistent."
Despite not receiving many
public accolades, the line says team
recognition is what they strivefor.

"We owe them one," said Mar-
zo. "This

"We are looking forward.to this
one," said Menu. "Last year. is still
in our minds. The whole trip was
bad. Morally, this is the biggest

"Our

Crew gearing up for Challenge of Hudson
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
Coming off a solid performance
in the Head of the Hudson
.
Regat-
.
ta in Albany. the Ma:rist crew team
·
is preparing for the Challenge of
the Hudson Regatta this Saturday
in Peekskill.
·
The Red Foxes put forward a
solid effort in Albany, said coach
Larry Davis. The women's open
eight captured first place in a field
of five crews. The men's open four
lightweight finished second to local
rival Vassar.
Marist also earned a first and se-
cond place finish in the mixed race.
That is,
a
race in which four men
and four women race in the same
shell.
The men's open lightweight eight
.
finished fourth behind Ithaca, who
captured the first three positions.
Early in September, Marist
earn-
ed two first place and two second
place
·
finishes in the Manchester
(N.H.) Riverfest Regatta.
"We
.
have done fairly well so
·
.
far," said
i
Davis.

would really
like
··
to

see us
·
do well this
weekend."
Saturday, Marist will enter three
crews in the first annual Challenge
of the Hudson ·Regatta.
The event is scheduled to attract
over
1,000
rowers from around the
world to compete. More than 30
colleges and 20 rowing clubs
will
be
represented.
The list of schools competing in-
cludes local schools such
as

men,s team dropped a match to
Siena and the women's squad
fell prey to SUNY New Paltz

Also scheduled to race are peren-
nial rowing powers such as Har-

University, from Japan, will also
compete..
.
Also at the regatta
will
be three
national teams from the United
States, some of which will be par-
ticipating in the Olympics.
"It
is nice to have such a big
event locally," said Davis. "This
will be good for the Hudson Valley
and good for the sport of rowing
in general. This event has all the
political and financial backing that
it needs to be a suc~ess."
Marist will be rowing in the New
York State races and Davis said lie
feels the crews have a good oppor-
tunity to place, if not win.
"It
is going to be competitive,"
said Davis. "I would like us to do
well in the New York States, I think
we have a definite possibility of
placing in those events."
One aspect that Davis said he
thinks might be a factor is the
weather. "You never can tell what
.
the Hudson will throw at you," he
said. "The weather can have a
definite effect depending on
whether it is windy or if the water
is rough."

Junior John Cleary, the
number five player, defeated his

Marist's other
win
came
from
the number two doubles tandem
of Jim Cagney and Favazzo.
.
They teamed up to
earn
a 6-1,

victory.
Senior captain Phelps was
disappointed with the loss.
"They arc one of our biggest
rivals," he said. "We were the
better team on paper, but un-
fortunately it didn't work out
that way. It was a tough match
to lose for us."

The Hudson River has a long
history or rowing. Back
in
1839,
Poughkeepsie launched its first
race
.
The Intercollegiate Rowing
Association began holding regattas
here in 1891. The regatta became
an annual event that grew in size
until 1949, the last year of the
regatta in Poughkeepsie.
The
·
regatta

include more
than just rowing. It is a day- long
event highlighting the Hudson

The Marist women's volleyball
team won three matches last week
to increas its record to
8-:S. ·
Sunday, Marist split a tri-match
at Vassar. The Red Foxes dropped
a 3-2 loss Fordham 15-3, 4-15,
15-11, 12-15, 15-5. Following the
Fordham match. Marist bounced
back to
earn
a 3-2 win over
Vassar,
8-15, 16-14, 9-15. 15-11, 15-6.
Despite losing to Fordham,
Marist established two team
records.
Senior
co-captain
Marianne Cenicola notched 34
assists
and
sophomore Robin Gestl
slammed down 18 kills. Terri
Covello,
a
senior, came of the
.
bench and
'
had
IO
kills. "Robin,
Kim and
Terri
played strong," said
assistant coach Tom Hanna.
"Marianne was able to get the ball
outside and
that
really got them in-
volved in the offense."
Against
Vassar,
the Red Foxes
used a total team effort to escape
with the five game victory.
Cenicola led the charge with 32
assists while Gestl added 17 kills
and five
aces.
Covello and
An-
drews combined for
21
kills. and
Karen Wiley added nine kills to
lead the attack.
Last Thursday, Marist scored a
·
3-1
victory over Manhattanville
15-10, 13-15, 15-10, 15-6.
Freshman Carlyn Gianetti
replaced the injured Adrews in the
starting line up and led
.
the Red
Foxes with 10 kills, two aces.
An-
drews did not start because she is
suffering from shin splints and
Gianetti filled in nicely, said
Hanna
.
As
a team,
Marist had
21
serv-
ing aces against Manhattanville, led
by Covello's seven. Hanna says the
serving of the Red Foxes has
.
become a weapon.
"We have real good top spin
servers," he said. "We have a solid
variety of servers that allows the
girls to
try
for points. It is a distinct
advantage that we have."

Women in the locker room? Patriots say no
Boston Herald reporter Lisa
Olson was interviewing a New
England Patriot in the locker room
two weeks ago when five players
who had just emerged from the
shower gathered around and
sex-
ually harassed her.
According to Olson. the players
were showing their genitals and
were shouting lewd comments to
her.
The only reason why the players
were doing
this
is
because she is a
woman, said Olson.
The only player to be identified
so
far is tight end and former New
York Giant Zeke Mowatt.
Mowatt
earns
$630,000
dollars
a
year.
For his actions he
was
fmed
a whopping $2,000. The charge,
"conduct detrimental to the club."
Wow. That is some deterent.
The immediate reaction
taken
by
Patriot president Victor
Kiam
and
general manager Patrick Sullivan
were inexcusable.
The two acted
as
if
nothing spec-
tacular had happe1_1ed.
Kiam
was
even
quoted as calling Olson "a
classic bitch."
Sullivan
said that
he
really
didn't
think the players
were wrong
in
their
actions and that
it
wasn't
a
big
deal.
Wasn't a big deal?
I
don't think that Sullivan
realizes the seriousness of the mat-
ter. Five professional football
players directly harassed a profes-
sional journalist soley based on the
fact that she is a woman.
What is the name of that thing
that is supposed to stop that from
.
happening?
Oh yeah, the Constitution.
As
the events continue to unfold,
Sullivan
is
lucky that be
still
bas a
job. While issuing an-apology to
Olson on Sunday,
Kiam
told
CBS
commentator Greg Gumbel that
changes would be made. He also
hinted that Sullivan would be
canned.
Kiam
has already made one
change. Robert Morano, a vice
president of fmance for
Kiam's
Re-mington Corporation,
has been
named a new exectutive vice presi-
dent for the Patriots.
What is he going to do?
Kiam
probably hired him to make sure
that
everyone
who comes out of the
shower
is
wrapped in a towel.
Meanwhile, NFL commissioner
Paul Tagliabue has established the
NFL's
first
special
counsel
to in-
vestigate the
matter.
Tagliabue has
also asked
Kiam
not to
suspeDd
Thursday
Morning
Quarterback
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sullivan
until
the investigation
is
co01plete.
Kiam
took out full page ads in
the Sunday editions of the New
York
Tunes
and the Boston Herald
to s.how the public what a nice guy
he
is.
Also
on Sunday, Olson met with
Kiam
for
90
minutes for breakfast.
After this meeting,
Kiam
called her
''a
very
courageous
lady,''
and told
her that he would do is best to
remedy the situation.
~me on Victor, what are you
doing? You wouldn't be trying to
cover your tracks now would you?
Kiam
is
trying to
keep
himself
from
getting
the
ultimate punish-
merit -
suspension.
The National Football League
opened its locker room doors to
women reporters
back
in 198S.
Players say that women should
not be in a locker room because it
is a violation of their privacy. What
·
about the male reporters? Do the
players enjoy being around them
while they are nude?
Like other female reporters,
Olson was doing her job -
or
should I say, trying to do her job.
No one enjoys being in
a
locker
room. They are hot, steamy, swea-
ty,
smelly and loud. Reporters,
both male and female, are just
try-
ing
to
get the infonnation they need
and get out of there.
What I don't understand though
is
why
men
walk
around the room
completely
nalced.
Why not where
a
bathrobe?
I
just
don't
see
the point that the
boys -
oops, I mean
men -
are
trying to malce.
Is it that women cannot write as
good as men? Are they worried
about getting excited in the locker
room?
What is
it?
At
the
U.S.
Open
tennis cham-
pionships last month. the women's
locker room
was
open to all
reporters
after
all
the
matches.
The
same is true for the NCAA
championships.
I
don't recall reading any stories
about Steffi Graf sexually harass-
ing, accept the fact that the Olson
and other female reporters are
try-
ing to do their jobs: They aren't
asking for trouble. Olson was
merely conducting
an
interview
when the five nalced players began
their little act of indecency.
Mowatt
has
since apologized and
denied some of his comments. He
says that he only said, "You aren't
here to write, you are here to
look."
Yeah, Zeke, that makes a real
difference.
Unfortunately, this problem
does not just exist in football.
This summer Detroit Tigers
president Bo
Schcmbechler
and pit-
ching ace Jack Morris were en-
tangled in a similar incident.
A female reporter was awaiting
the arrival of a player and Morris
and Schembechler
alXUSed
her of
watching the naked players.
They said that she was just sit-
ting there and ogling the naked
players as they walked in and out
of the shower. In effect, she
was
just doing her job.
Just like Olson.
