, Officials are still searching for
the three men who attempted to
break into a townhouse last
Wednesday, according to
·
Joseph
Leary, director of safety and
security.
Leary said that at approximate~
ly l
:30
a.m. on Oct. 10,
a
student
from Townhouse A-7 called securi-
ty and said three men were attemp-
ting to break in.
Two security vans and two foot-
patrols responded to the call along
with two Town of Poughkeepsie
Police cruisers, Leary said.
When security a

rived at the townhouse, they found
no
.
sign of forced entry and im-
mediately conducted a check for
the men.
A campus search by
security
and
a search of the local area around
the campus by police came up
empty.
The men were each described as
tall, black and ,vearing a baseball
cap.
According to Megan Flanagan,
a resident of Townhouse A-7, she
was awakened shortly before l :30
a.m. on Oct.
10
by her roommate
Cathy Mahland who told her she
heard noises outside their sliding
glass door in the downstairs section
of the townhouse.
When they looked outside, they
observed two men boosting a third
man up onto the balcony of their
townhouse. When the)~ heard the
sliding glass door on the balcony
open, Flanagan called security.
After an outside light was turned
on, the three men fled the area.
While en route to the townhouse,
a security official reported seeing
a
black, Ford Mustang quickly
leaving the townhouse area park-
ing lot
.
Security speculated
that
this
may have been the intruders.
Leary also said that an uniden-
tified passerby observed three men
fitting the description in the
townhouse area approximately 15
minutes prior to when the call
about the incident came ln.
"There have been 110 previous
incidents of this kind this
semester," said Leary. "In most
cases like this, it's a one shot deal."
However, Leary added that
·
Marist has an open campus, so
there is always a possibility that
a
dangerous
element
can come onto
campus. He said if people see
something out of the ordinary, they
should report it to security right
away.
"I
definitely feel threatened by
something like this," said
Flanagan.
"Security should try to patrol
around this area more, especially
the darker wooded areas behind the
Townhouses," she said.
Leary said that security will give
special attention to the area in the
future but that extra patrols can
not be added because security
doesn't have the ne.cessary
manpower.
ROTC gets shut d

own due .. to
_
government cutba_cks
by
JULIE MARTIN

Staff Writer
Marist's Reserve Officer Train-
ing Corps (ROTC) program is
phasing out after four years due to
·
government cutbacks, said Mark
Sullivan, executive vice president.
The phase-out is partially due to
a projection made five years ago by
the nation's Department of
Defense, said Cpt. Stephen Whit-
tey, director of the
·
Marist
company.
Whittey said the government
deci_ded to close 50 schools' pro-
grams across the nation, after the
.
·
projection made exceeded the need
for army officers.
Despite the
.
phase out, the
seniors in the program will be made
commissioned officers at the end of
the school year. Whittey said the
ROTC has a contract with anyone
who reaches their junior year.
Although the juniors will either
be able to have an instructor from
Fordham University come up to
Marist, or will'be able to attend the
program at the university, they
were given the choice to get out of
the program.
·
"The juniors are committed to
the ROTC and they want to keep
·
their scholarship money, so they'll
stick to it,'' said Whittey. "They
were given the option to get out."
.
But since the sophomores and
the freshmen are not under the
same contract, there are
·
no plans
for their
.
continuing under the
ROTC, Whittey said.
Out of the 22 students in the pro-
gram, there are only three
sophomores and two freshmen.
"There is no commitment on
either the government or the
students' part," said Whittey.
"Should anyone want to be in the
ROTC, they can transfer to For-
dham University; but that's not a
realistic option."
Laura Whittle and Tom Fasolo,
sophomores, have dropped out of
the program as
.
a result of the shut
down. Both transferred from other
schools so they could participate in
the ROTC.
"I
dropped out (of the program)
because one year wasn't going to
do me any good and

Managing Editor
Douglas Ed'Yards, the first net-
work television anchorman with
CBS and a Marist College Trustee
-
since 1987, died of cancer Saturday
morning at his home in Sarasota,
Fla. He was 73.
Edwards was also the 1986 reci-
pient of the college's Lowell
Thomas Award for his excellence
in broadcast journalism, and
helped dedicate the Lowell Thomas
Communications Center in 1987.
The award was established to
recognize an individual whose life
and work reflect the imagination,
courage arid humanity of Lowell
Thomas.
"Mr. Edwards was keenly aware
of the large interest in communica-
tions among our undergraduates,
and he wanted them to make
broadcast news better,'' said Presi
7
dent Dennis
J.
Murray. "His ad-
vice and
counsel for Marist College
will
be sorely missed."
Edwards started his 56-year
broadcast career as a World War
II radio
-
correspondent, and had
anchored about 14 different net-
work television news broadcasts
from 1948 until his retirement in
1988.
Besides being the first network
news anchorman, Edwards was
also one of the first to use on-
location cameras for
a
broadcast,
to report on-the-scene from the
chamber of the House of
Represen-
tatives
soon after it was shot-up in
March
1954,
and had an exclusive
eyewitness account of the sinking
of the Italian liner Andrea Doria
off the coast of Nantucket in July
1956.
Edwards also conducted ex-
clusive intervie)vs with Eleanor
Roosevelt,
Adlai
Stevenson, Abba
Eban and
Herbert
Hoover. In
February 1952,
he covered the cor-
·onation
of
Queen Elizabeth II in
London.
"Douglas Edwards was known
the world over for his pioneering
work in
broadcast journalism,"
said
Murray.
"He
remained a
powerful voice for integrity
and
professionalism in reporting the
news for
a half.,century. He loath-

they do intend to graduate from
Marist. They also said they would

said although the shut down does

THE CIRCLE, OCTOBER

Radio station expanding,
'looking forward to big year'
by
CHRIS LANG
Staff Writer
As one of several changes this
year,
WMCR,
Marist College
radio, is offering the sounds of
compact disc for the first time.
The decision to purchase a CD
player for the station was made
because of decreasing popularity of
vinyl records and the large numbers
of new artists who record only on
CD, said Tom Morgan, WMCR
program director and chief
engineer.
With new technology, new per-
sonnel and a modified format,
WMCR general manager John
Campbell is excited about the
changes.
"We are looking forward to a
big year," Campbell said. "We are
trying to make WMCR a radio sta-
tion that everyone can appreciate."
WMCR currently broadcasts via
a cable network on campus, which
means that a radio has to be install-
ed with a cable in order to receive
the station. All of the on-campus
residence facilities except the North
Road Houses are included in the
network.
Campbell said there are no FM
licenses currently available in this
area.
Changes at
WMCR
began last
summer when staff members clean-
ed and re-calibrated instruments
and hooked-up equipment to
assure a better sound for this year.
"This is the first year we have
gone on the air, where all the
equipment works properly," said
Morgan.
Morgan also set up a small pro-
duction studio in a corner of the
station with the equipment
necessary to produce its own
commercials.
Morgan said the CD player will
allow disc jockeys to become
familiar with technology that is
dominant in the radio industry.
The new CD player is a special
studio player which features
automatic first-note cueing and an
extended dynamic sound range.
Another major change at
WMCR
is a more diverse music
format. The management staff is
hoping the new format will be ac-
ceptable to more people and
generate more listenership.
WMCR is including newly
released music in
its
programming
as well as playing more album-
oriented rock, said Morgan.
In addition, there will be weekly
specialty shows broadcast at dif-
ferent times which will feature dif-
ferent types of music.
The variety of shows includes
heavy metal, classic rock, hard-
core, soul/r&b/rap, club/house,
reggae, and a DJ's choice top 30
countdown.
The station format will also in-
clude more news and sports up-
dates in order to keep students
informed.
"We are trying to make WMCR
more than just a club," Morgan
said. "We are trying to get people
involved and enthusiastic in order
to make the station a learning ex-
perience."
Campbell heads a new station
management staff that includes
Program Director and Chief
Engineer Tom Morgan, Music
Director Ron Marli, News Director
Paul Bauer, Sports Director Kevin
St. Onge, and Promotions Direc-
tors,. Jim-.. O'Toole and- Michele
Lulek.
There are 38 upperclassmen
working for WMCR
as
disc jockeys
and dozens of other students in-
volved in the news, sports, and pro-
motions areas.
"Right now, we just want the
administration to look at us and see
that
WMCR
really has something
to offer the Marist community,"
said Campbell. "Hopefully this
would allow us to look into what
would be needed to go AM next
semester."

In a mad rush to get to the
bus in the Champagnat parking

a gray sweatshirt, my Converse
and my black beret. I was ready

I

There was excitement in the
air on the bus ride to Platekill.
There was also rain in the air
which would make for quite a
messy day.
We arrived at what seemed
like an ROTC training camp.
There was a sea of khak!-
clothed guys, wringing their
hands waiting to get their guns.
Some guys standing around
already had their own weapons.
These are the type of guys that
give new meani~g t~,the phrase
"weekend wamor.
These "warrjors" carried
guns bigger than they were.
Something told me that these
guys weren't just here to play
around. They were prepared for
war.
My housemates and I stuck
out like downs at a funeral.
Not only were we not dress-
ed
from
head to toe in khaki,
our faces were not smeared v.ith
black, brown and green war
paint.
We had to compromise.

we gathered our paint pellets
and goggles and were taken to

I

I
was ready to shoot when
my enemy turned around and I
saw that it was my roommate.
"Yo, I was just about to
waste you," I said as I pointed
my gun down.
"Oh yeah. Good because

as
pumped pink paint into my
chest.
My own roomie shot me, and
he enjoyed it. I was dead for
that game, but there would be

I still had a little trouble with
being killed.
· The rules said that you
weren't dead unless the paint
pellet actually exploded on any
part of your body.
Unfortunately, I was raised
to be honest. Honesty is not
always the best policy, especially
when people are shooting at
you.
There I was, lying in the wet
underbrush looking out at
nothing but fog because my
goggles had fogged up, when
from out of nowhere
I'm
shot
in throat.
"Wait,"
I
yelled.
"I
think
I'm dead."
As
I
pulled the paint pellet
out of my shirt, I realized that
it never exploded and that I was
still alive.
Then for some stupid reason,
I decided to let the guy who just.
shot me in on my little secret.
"Oh, keep firing it didn't ex-
plode," I yelled.
I might as well have yelled,
"Hey, shoot me five more
times, I'm not dead yet."

Needless to say, I was pelted
on three different sides by four
paint bullets.
Toward the end of the day,
everyone became rather trigger-
happy, especially during the
final game.

to do some damage.

Marist host site of convention
for I 00 business school deans
by
CINDY DONALDSON
Staff Writer
Accounting students may have to
spend an extra year in school in the
future, business-school deans pro-
posed last week.
At the 40th annual meeting of
Middle Atlantic Association of
Colleges of Business Administra-
tion, Marist hosted more than 100
business-school deans, and among
the issues discussed was the idea of
changing the requirements concer-
ning the accounting program.
The program brought together
college leaders from Mid-Atlantic
states, such as New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware, Washington, D.C. and
Puerto Rico, for a forum on "The
Future:
Informa-
tion
Technologies; Accounting Re-
quirements; Accreditation." The
Bishop of Ireland, a former dean
of St. Joesph's in Philadelphia,
also attended the conference.
Dr. John C. Kelly, chairman of
the Division of Management
Studies at Marist and host chair-
man of the event, said participants
focused on major issues facing
business schools today during the
three-day con- conference. Kelly,
who was named to the board of
association for the next five to six
years, said the conference was a
success.
"The comments made were that
this was the best-run meeting
ever," said Kelly. "The deans were
enthralled with Marist College."
Time was spent debating New
York's position on raising the re-
quirements for the accounting pro-
gram. The proposed change was to
turn it into a five-year program by
increasing the credit requirements
to 150.
Currently, the program is four
years consisting of 130 credits. Kel-
ly said this was still a difficult issue
because if the requirements are in-
creased, then faculty would have to
be increased by 20 percent. Kelly
also said it is questionable whether
the state
will
allow an increase in
student loans for the program.
Kelly said curricular issues, in-
cluding globalization, the use of
technology and the ability to deal
with technological change over the
next ten years were discussed. An
update on the multi-year study on
accreditation was given. This is the
2nd year of the study.
Deans addressed the issue of per-
mitting freshman and sophomore
students to take upper level
business courses that are usually
reserved for juniors and seniors.
Marketing and finance are among
these courses.
Alpha Kappa Psi, the new coed
fraternity at Marist, led tours and
participated
some
of
the
discussions.
"The deans were very impress-
ed with the students in Alpha Kap-
pa Psi," said Kelly.
The conference was held Oct.
10,
11 and 12, both on campus and at
the
Radisson

Poughkeepsie.
Graduate assistant returns
to student life and activities
by
JOHN CAMPBELL
· · · Staff Writer
When Frank Doldo first came
to
Marist as a sophomore transfer stu-
dent, he told himself he was not go-
ing to get involved.
But somewhere along the line,
Doldo changed his mind, taking ~n
the responsibilities of an officer
m
the College Union Board, and suc-
ceeded in getting a number . of
entertainers to perform at Manst.
The 24-year old Doldo has
returned to his alma mater this year
to earn a master's degree in public
administration, and to supervise
weekend events with the office 9f
college activities.
Since his graduation, Doldo had
worked as the director of activities
and a resident director at Keuka
College, a small school in Yates
county,
N. Y.
When he left Keuka
to come back to Marist, there was
a 23 percent rise in attendance to
activities.
"I
was hired (at Keuka) three
days before school started and
there were no events booked,"
Doldo said.
"I
spent one day book-
ing two months of activities."
From January until March
1990,
he
was
also the director of housing.
"When you're at a small school
like Keuka, you wear different
hats " he said. From 8:30 a.m. to
noo~. he worked in the housing of-
fice, and from
I
p.m. to
5 p.m. he
was in the activities office. "And
then
I
was a residence director after
that."
Three years after his graduation,
the former CUB concert chairper~
son film chairperson, and presi-
dent looks back at his college years
with a big smile.
-
'
"When I first came here,
I
lived
in the newly-built Gartland Com-
mons with a group of seniors w~o
were officers in CUB," Doldo said.
"They had a spot open (Concert
Chair) and asked if I wanted to get
involved."
"The drinking age changed when
I got here, and CUB was changing
from alcohol events to non-alcohol
events," Doldo said. "We went
from one dance a month to one
dance a semester."
-
As concert cha'ir, Do~do
put
together
a proposal
for
a "Battle
of the Bands"
to
be held at the
Mid-Hudson Civic Cemer for
SUNY New Paltz, Mt. Saint
Mary's, and Marist
to
perform.
The day before he was to send
the proposal to the Civic Center,
SUNY New Paltz dropped out.
Doldo said that he
was
frustrated
by the turn-of-events, but he call-
ed Mt. Saint Mary, offering them
the chance to come to Marist and
stage the event in the theater, They
brought two busloads of students
and the concert was a great success.
Although his role was limited to
being active in CUB for only one
semester during his junior year,
Doldo, was the first to bring a con-
cert to Marist as a senior.
In the spring of 1988, John Caf-
ferty and the Beaver Brown Band
took the stage in the Mccann
Center, set up through support of
students recruited to make the con-
cert a reality.
It was not an easy task bringing
the first concert to Marist, Doldo
said.
"I
was bound and determined to
bring a concert to Marist. The ad-
ministration resisted the idea of a
concert," Doldo said. "They
wanted it done a certain way and
I
had to figure out how."
"I
had six different groups give
me a verbal agreement to come to
Marist," Doldo said. "Those
groups were The Romantics,
10,000
Maniacs, The Bodeans, The
Replacements, Cheap Trick and
Spyro Gyra."
But they all cancelled out.
He was eventuallv successful in
·signing John Cafferty, and
organized a large group of students
to produce the show.
Doldo said through his work he
proved to himself that he is capable
of many things. He organized a
benefit concert at a camp for
children with cancer, which
featured Beatlemania and made
$1300
for the camp.
Now at Marist, Doldo said he
left Keuka to further educate
himself
in a
familiar atmosphere.

Gartland needs phones
With the implementation of the new telephone
system this semester, the college's communications and
technologies have taken another step forward.
Brought on line in just a few months over the sum-
mer, Marist's office of information services, IBM, New
York Telephone and Rochester Telecom have provid-
ed the community with a faster and more efficient

Right, they don't call it "Taxachusetts"
for nothing.
And you wonder why Michael Dukakis
isn't running for re-election.
To the residents of the Boston area, this
scenario obviously stinks. (pun intended).
It's not that they don't want to clean the har-
bor up, to their credit they do. People of
other cities would do well to take on this
unapathetic attitude. (Are you listening
Poughkeepsie?)
By this mid-term period students and faculty have
adjusted to some of the added features, most notably
the phonemail function. This allows callers to leave
messages on a built-in answering machine service,
eliminating a great deal of ''phone tag.''
Now that the novelty is wearing off, the next step
must be ta~en: hooking up the residence areas. House
phones of the former system in these areas are in bad
shape, and need repair. Student use and abuse over the
years has made a permanent mark, and some phones
may soon be unusable.
Many of us here in Poughkeepsie have our

Same old.story right? Big-business makes
And along with that, the initial hook-up of the
Gartland Commons Apartments with its first intra-
college telephone service is of great necessity.
Long overdue is such a service; residents of the
Gartland CoIIlmons Apartments have .been without
intra-college, or house telephones since the completion
of the buildings in 1985. Still, five years later, they are
phoneless. -
_
Typically, residents of those apartments dial Marist' s
main number, and are connected to the proper exten-
. sion. But forthe first few weeks each fall, these students
have a severe lack of communication with the college
since they are without regular phone service until New
York Telephone can install their lines.
These apartments are remote enough, without hav-
ing to be more isolated by lack of communication.
Information services officials say that residence areas
should have the new phone service by next fall. And
there is also the p-ossibility of extending the phone ser-
vice to individual rooms in the future.
But along with replacing the old phones, the
establishment of some intra-college phone system in
the Gartland Commons Apartments must be a priori-
ty. That basic need should have been taken care of a
long time ago.

The Circle
Editor's
Notebook
Ilse Martin
In light of recent letters to the editor, the
need to clarify the difference between a col-
umn, a viewpoint and a news or feature story
demands attention.
Members of the college community seem
confused about these differences when refer-
ring to Circle "writings" in letters to the
editor and in conversation.
A column is, in most cases, a weekly piece
on different topics and is written by the same
person every week. It draws the attention of
the reader to certain events, people, issues
or ideas and it offers opinions about them.
And sometimes it tells a story -
whether it
be fact or fiction.
The Circle has five columns: entertain-
ment, humor, sports, and two political col-
umns. The columnists are identified by their
name and photograph; and a line at the end
of each column identifies their role.
The columnists make their own decisions
about what topics they
.will
expound upon
each week. And while their opinions may not
necessarily mirror the editorial policy of The
Circle or the college community, the columns
are written to promote the exchange of ideas.
Anyone is encouraged-to respond to these
ideas, whether in support of the same opi-
nions or other viewpoints.
A viewpoint by definition is one person's
point of view.
It
is a piece of writing sub-
mitted to The Circle usually by someone
from the college community, whether it be
staff or faculty members, alumni, ad-
minstrators, students or others.
In general, these first-person pieces appear
on the viewpoint page. Occasionally they ap-
pear
on other pages, but are always identified
at the end of the piece with the name of the
author, his or her class and major.
News and feature articles are different
from viewpoints and i:;olumns in that
reporters have talked to a number of sources
on a certain topic, and have written a piece
that is as objective as possible. It should not
express the opinions of the reporter or the
staff of The Circle.

Letters To The Editor
Abortion issue oversimplifi~d
For today's media,
truth is not sole concern
In a world where we've supposedly
matured our collective consciousness, and
have become wise enough to correctly res-
pond to current crises, I've come to the con-
Editor:
I wish to respond to the article by Kevin
St. Onge in a recent issue of The Circle. He
was, after all, gracious enough to solicit
replies.
He spoke of two paths diverging in
a wood, designating one as right and one as
wrong, and placing abortion rights on that
path labeled "wrong."
brings me to my final point.
The only valid argument against abortion
is that it is morally wrong, that it is the tak-
ing of a human life which is sacred in the eyes
· of God. But that argument is only valid
. dusion that we're not nearly as sophisticated
as we claim to be.
are ignored, and we spend our time reading
or watching sensationalized bull. Think
about it. How much do you get out of wat-
ching Live at Five? They spend more time
previewing what you will hear about on the
six o'clock edition, than focusing on substan-
tial hard- core news, so by five-thirty you
know who got shot and where, but little else.
The issue of abortion rights is complex and
multi-faceted, and
I believe Kevin is guilty
of the fault so common these days, that of
reducing complex issues down to bumper
sticker slogans. There are too many counter
arguments to his position for me to mention
here, so I will mention only the most impor-
tant ones.
The real issue of abortion in American
politics is not whether abortion should or
should not be allowed. It is who should be
allowed to have them. Rich women have
always been able to obtain safe abortions (at
least since that became medically possible),
while poor women were forced to choose bet-
ween an unwanted pregnancy and a possibly
fatal back alley job.
Roe v. Wade effectively rectified that
situation.
It
said that a woman has a con-
stitutional right of control over her body,
and this was, initially, interpreted to mean
all women equally. Since then, the courts of
the Reagan era have -
case by case -
in-
terpreted the right to apply only to women
with money.
If
and when Roe v. Wade is
struck down, safe abortions will once again
become an exclusive right of the wealthy.
Making abortions illegal never has and .
never will stop them. Abortion is still illegal
in Mexico, where last year
1
to
2
million
abortions were performed (resulting in
50,000 deaths). While legal, sanitary first
trimester abortions (which account for 9Vof
U.S. abortions) are
13 times safer than
childbirth;'illegal' abortions are·
the' leading
cause of death among women of childbear-
ing age in Latin America. Why aren't "pro-
lif ers" concerned with those lives?
My second argument centers not around
Kevin's contention that life begins at concep-
tion, but that life is the issue at all. You see,
life does not begin at conception. The fer-
tilized zygote is no more (and no less) alive
than the individual egg and sperm cells that
created it. And they are, to be sure, very
much alive. The issue is not when
life begins,
but when human~ness begins, when that·
organism can be considered a person. And
that is still outside the grasp of science, which
within the proper context. The belief (and
it is only a belief) that a human embryo and
fetus are persons. in the eyes of God is a
religious belief, primarily of the Christian
and Muslim faiths. It is by no means univer-
sal.
It is someone's adherence to those
religious beliefs that directs their rejection of
abortion.
That, of course, is well within their rights.
But this country was founded on several very
important and very basic principles, and one
of those is that there will be no state religion.
Citizen~ are free to worship as they choose,
free from governmental (or other) suppres-
sion or persuasion.
In short, you are free to follow the moral
guidelines of your religion, but you may not
force your religious beliefs upon me. And
that is the fundamental point that is so often
missed by anti-abortionists and women's•
rights advocates alike.

New dance video
Editor:
Dancing is an activity enjoyed by many
people, including those with physical
challenges. Those of use who find ourselves
going out on the dance floor with automatic
partners (wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches,
etc.) must invent our own dance moves ac-
cording to how we are able to move our
bodies, because there are no instructional
videos that address the concept of handicap-
ped dancing that
I am aware of.
Recently,
l
was-'givei1tlie opportunity
to
make such a video.
I
am currently looking
for people, both disabled and non-disabled,
who like to dance and have fun. All those
who participate may dance however they
want. For those who say they can't dance,
I offer my definition of dancing: moving
your body to the music so that you feel good:
If
your curiosity has been aroused and you

Specifically, I am speaking of current
events that are first sensationalized in the
news and then forgotten: the genocidal kill-
ings in Cambodia, hunger in the third world,
the "misplaced" Palestinian question and
the ruthless system of apartheid - to name
a few.
It seems that once the media hype dies
down on these temporary problems they
become, more or less, "out of sight, out of
mind."
Like most of us, I can remember seeing
vivid horrifying pictures of starving Ethio-
pians in the desert, news headlines, and songs
like "We are the world" appearing
everywhere - but they seemed to disappear
as soon as they came. What ever happened
to these people? Has the situation gotten
worse?
I
bet you couldn't even find a recent
news article to satisfy your curiosity. In fact,
the last time I can remember hearing about
the problem of hunger was when Con-
gressman Mickey Leland died in a helicopter
crash on a trip in Ethiopia. The story was
short and sweet. He was a popular man on ·
the Hill who was on one of the House com-
mittees on hunger -
end of story.
I'm convinced that today's news caters to
a rushed, hurried society that would rather
hear the "guts and glory" version of a story
than the simple truth. The results: real issues
It's true. Crises come and go too fast in
the media to be accurately reported on. And
perhaps the reason is our short attention
span. Why do we get so bored easily? Ad-
mit it. Aren't you tired of hearing about the
Gulf crisis? The stalemated situation now has
made for a gap in what a few weeks ago was
a media field day. We know what's going on
and will probably get filled in on recent
developments only when something exciting
starts t happen. But our lack of attention is
more detrimental than we think. By not con-
centrating ourtime and energy to investigate
and learn more about the critical issues of
the day only delays in solving the problems.
Thus, effectively dealing with serious
issues, like the explosive tensions mounting
between the Arabs and Israeli's amidst the
Gulf crisis, becomes buried under
monotonous reports about the hot
temperatures in Saudi Arabia.
And sabotage efforts by the Conservative
Party in South Africa aren't reported in
depth to the extent they should.
Addressing the problems are only the first
step.

Speaking up for New York City
Editor:
In response to Chris Shea's September 27,
column on New York City.
New York City isn't asking for your sym-
pathy. New York City isn't asking for your
praise. New York City isn't asking for your
pity. New York City residents, however, ·are
asking for
a
break.
New York City, specifically Brooklyn, has
been my home for the past twenty years and
I am offended at the tone of Chris Shea's
column. The crime rate has escalated and it
is tragic, but lambasting New York with an
-
It'll never get any better, what can you
expect from New York? -
attitude, isn't go-
ing to solve anything.
We residents don't like crime, death and
drugs, but they are a part of any urban set-
ting. For a well-rounded critical article, have
one of the many Marist students from the
city write it. Someone who would be aware
of all the attributes and factors that make
up the New York existence.
New York is the home of many great
things, both entertaining and historic. Peo-
ple come from around the world to see
Broadway, the Stock exchange, the United
Nations, The Statue of Liberty and Macy's.
Growing up, we as residents had these
great things in our backyard.'The
tis!!t knit
communities of the five boroughs give all
New Yorkers a sense of neighborhood and
identity. Most importantly, a childhood in
Brooklyn taught me not to be afraid to walk
down a city street, to be confident and to not
let irrational fear of things unknown stop me
from doing things.
My life, and the lives of other New
Yorkers, has been altered by crime.
Sometimes it does feel that it is a way of life
and h~rd to escape. However, New York Ci-
ty is our home, and as residents we've learn-
ed to live with it and combat it. Can't out-
siders help us do the same?

Inconsistencies surf acing in student support group
KEVIN ST. ONGE
The
Bottom
Line
There are gay, lesbian and bisexual
students at Marist College. It would
be
naive
to think otherwise.
Because Marist endeavors to be receptive
to student
needs,
the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual
Student Association (GLBSA)
was
begun last
year to serve
as
a forum and sort of refuge
for those Marist students questioning their
sexuality.
Most Marist student have received mail
from the GLBSA at the start of the last two
semesters. On one sheet of pink paper, the
GLBSA lists the names of popular people
who are supposedly gay, lesbian or bisexual,
then goes on to describe the purpose of the
organization as follows: "\Ve are a support
group, not a political group. Our goal is to
provide support for anyone who is gay, les-
bian or questioning ••• We insist on strict
confidentiality for all members."
The GLBSA stretched its credibility last
week
when
it hung posters and flyers
all
over
campus advertising "National Coming Out
Day."
Thursday, October
11, the GLBSA in
a
very visible way indicated a subtle shift from
its role as self-proclaimed "support group"
to advocate group.
This internal inconsistency should be
recognized and Marist administrators should
re-evaluate the role GLBSA will play on
campus.
Recognizing the sensitivity of the issue and
the association's demand of confidentiality,
it was only after lengthy discussions with
various administrators, staff personnel and
students the following history and current
status of the GLBSA could be determined.
In the spring of 1989,
a
male student, then
a freshman, began posting flyers on campus
advertising a support group at Vassar Col-
lege with which Marist students could
participate.
With about six Marist students regularly
attending the Vassar meetings, the same male
student decided to start a similar organiza-
tion on this campus.
The student, who wished to remain
anonymous, contacted Marist personnel and
set about the task of working through the
Marist bureaucracy to establish what is now
the GLBSA.
''.We started as a support group, hoping
to encourage a positive image and positive
attitude," the student said.
One of the staff persons initially involved
with GLBSA, Sister Eileen Halloran, direc-
tor of Campus Ministry,
says
the
original in-
tent of the association was to establish a
forum for discussion and support group for
those students questioning their sexuality.
The association now has a core of eight
students, while attendance at the weekly
meeting fluctuates with new members com-
ing and going, according to the founding stu-
dent, who estimated 50 students participate
in similar forums at Vassar, with Bard Col-
lege, SUNY New Paltz and Dutchess Com-
munity College having similar organizations.
The GLBSA is organized and run by
students while under the auspices of Byrne
House and Student Affairs.
It is certainly important for Maiist to res-
pond to student needs but GLBSA seems to
be violating the spirit of their charter as an
organization on this campus.
Unless the laws have changed, Marist does
not have to provide this confidential forum.
While
it may be in the best interest of those
students participating in the meetings to do
so in private, it is a contradiction for those
same students to then advocate an out-of-
the-closet day.
Some may argue their posters were simp-
ly
part
of
an
on-going effort to foster increas-
ed awareness of issues with which the the
association is concerned.
Fine, but that inherently involves GLBSA
in the campus community in such a way that
goes
beyond being simply a forum for
discussion.
As a group, GLBSA is dangerously close
to crossing the line and becoming political
activists while hiding behind a veil of
confidentiality.
After lengthy discussions with people in-
timately concerned with GLBSA, it is ap-
parent they do not want to alter the original
intent of the group, fearing it would
discourage those students who may be ques-
tioning their sexuality from joining.
If
the GLBSA has a message for Marist
students, they have a right to get it out.
If
GLBSA is simply a support group, they have
a compelling interest to let students know the
group exists.
Advocating "National Coming Out Day,"
however, is not fostering increased awareness
of GLBSA, it is advocating a position.
This internal inconsistency must be ad-
dressed so the GLBSA can define just what
it wants to be - a support group for students
or an advocate forum.
BY THE WAY ... Just so the record is
clear, the Bottom Line does not seek to ex-
pose students sexuality for the sole purpose
of getting them "out of ,.he closet."
The privacy right guaranteed by the Con-
stitution is an essential part of our modern
society.
We may disagree on sexual morality but
the case of the GLBSA has less to do with
matters of sexuality and more to do with in-
stitutional integrity and inconsistency.
The GLBSA mailing read in part: "Our
group meets weekly in a friendly non-
threatening environment."
'
By their own actions, the GLBSA may
be
compromising that principle.

He said because of this rule, the
houses on North Road cannot have
registered parties since they are part
of the community and must adhere
to town laws.
Clark said it is a good idea to
have parties on campus because it
is a relaxed environment and it
keeps people from driving
.
"The parties are a chance for the
senior class to get together and
drink in there own surroundings
with no worries," said Clark.

Mark Allen, of Townhouse B-4,

about their first party, but he was
sure that it would be a success.
"Because our house has a bar-

THE CIRCLE, OCTOBER

Olympics make
for a special weekend
by
CHRISTIE INGRASSIA
Last Friday night I went to a
place where I didn't
care
about
how I dressed, how much makeup
I wore or how my hair looked.
And, would you believe, at this
very same place
I received countless
hugs, lots of kisses and two mar-
riage proposals.
No, I didn't find a new local bar.
I was a volunteer for the opening
ceremonies of the 1990 New York
State Special Olympics.
Through Phil Koshkin's Com-
munity Service Program, my
housemates and I volunteered for
this event that was held Oct. l 2 in
Kingston.
pies are classified as developmen-
tally disabled. This means they
have cognitive delays that cause
them to process information more
slowly than the average person.
Many of them have other physical
handicaps as well.
Upon our arrival we were split
up and assigned to a group that we
would host for the evening. My
group consisted of
11 men and I
woman from the Albany area. Lit-
tle did
I
know that by the end of
the night, these 12 athletes would
have such an impact on my life.
We ate dinner together, walked
through the exciting opening
parade together and sat through the
touching opening ceremony

themselves and poking fun at each
other.
Not only can they laugh at
others, they can laugh at
themselves as well. There was so
much laughing, touching, kissing
and hugging that it made me
.wonder just who in this world real-
ly has the handicap.
By the end of the night,
I
had
realized that each of the athletes in
my group had tugged on my heart
·
in their own way. First there was
Tommy, who called me over to him
while we were in Walgreen's, where
the group had stopped to pick up
some midnight munchies. While his
teammates were spending their
money on Doritos and soda, he
wanted to know what kind of per-
fume he could
·
buy for his mother
with the $5 he had in his pocket.
Then there was Bobby, whose
cerebral palsy hampers his speech
but
.
not his spirit. When I found
out he knew sign language, I ask-
ed him
if
he would teach me some
words. The only two things that he
showed me were how to spell my
name, and how to sign
"I
love
y
·
ou."
·
These athletes participated in the Special Olympics in-Saugerties on Saturday. At least
130 Marist students were volunteers at the event.
Then there was Susan, who, even
though she was the only girl on the
team, was playfully treated like one
of the guys. While she and
I
were
sitting next to each other in the
opening ceremonies, one of my
housemates asked her if she would
pose with me for a picture.
Student arrested for

by
MATTHEW WARD
Staff Writer
A student was arrested and
charged with criminal mischief
after he removed the parking boot
on his truck for parking illegally,
according to Joseph Leary, direc-
tor of safety and security.
The charges against Shannon
Dunn were dropped when he ask-
ed to make restitution for the cost
of the $395 wheel-boot. Dunn is a
student of Syracuse University,
which has a branch at Marist.

Shannon
·had·parked
his truck in

Security noticed the boot laying
in the parking
lot,
which appeared
to have been pryed off with a
crowbar, Leary said.
When a security officer noticed
the Dunn's truck parked at Marist
East the next day, he waited for the
student to return and escorted him
to the security office,
Leary
said.
Grad schools gather at Marist
The office of career development
is sponsoring a graduate school
forum
on October
25
from
4
p.m.
to
7
p.m. in the campus center.
The forum, consisting of
representatives from
26 graduate
schools including Marist, is the first
of its kind ar Marist.
Each school
will have its own
table from which they
will
distribute information, catelogues
and applications
as
well
as discuss
various ways of financing graduate
school.
Robert
Collier,
a
pre-
professional counselor in the office
of career development, said that
graduate school is becoming more
important.
"The workplace is becoming
more competetive and
.
if I were a
student, I'd
be
thinking about how
much competition is out there,"
Collier said. "Your bachelor's
degree is becoming more routine.
You almost have to the master's
level."
The results of a career develop-
ment survey revealed that 12 per-
cent Marist seniors in
1889 enroll-
ed in graduate study.
"This definately means that
there
is
a need (for
the
forum.)"
said Collier. "Marist students are
not satisfied with a bachelor's
degree, they're interested in going
on."

Before I knew it, she had thrown
her arms around my neck, buried

I knew she wasn't camera

group of individuals, who

and sometimes it's a constant strug-
gle, but these people don't allow
their lives to become filled with a
great deal of tension or worry.
They don't want anything from

a smile. In return, they give you the
best thing that they have to of-

Volleyball splits: now 11-7
by
TED HOLMLUND
Staff Writer
The Marist women's volleyball
team increased its record to
11-7
last week by winning two out of
three matches.
Sunday, the Red Foxes split a tri-
match with St. Peter's College and
Siena College.
After losing to St. Peters
3-0,
Marist bounced back to defeat
Siena 3-0.
In the 17-15, 15-1, 15-13, loss to
St. Peter's, freshmen Moira Breen
led the Marist charge with
10
assists. Junior Karen Wiley and
freshman Nicole Silenzi each add-
ed five kills.
Marist came back to defeat Siena
15-9, 15-13, 15-6.
Senior co-captain Marianne
Cenicola led the Red Foxes with 17
assists. Silenzi threw down eight
kills and four aces while Wiley not-
ched five kills and three aces to
· balance the attack.
Last Wednesday, the Red Foxes
handed Bard College 15-3, 15-4,
15-3 defeat.
The well-balanced attack was led
by Cenicola and Breen who com-
bined for 23 assists. Silenzi knock-
. ed down
11
kills and served three
aces.
Marist continued its serving
dominance by acing Bard 21 times.
Currently, the Red Foxes · are -
averaging
3.23
serice aces per game
which ranks· them seventh in the
nation. Senior co-captain Kim An-
drews, averaging just under one ace
per game, is ranked fifteenth na-
tionaliy among individual servers.
"It's nice for the team and
myself to be ranked," she said.
"This is the first time this has hap-
pened for our team and it will help
us in the future." .
"Our serving has been a key part
of our success," said assistant
coach Tom Hanna.
"It
is nice to
get the national recognition."
Although the team won two of
its three matches, VanCarpals and
Hanna were disappointed with the
performance.
"We picked up some dirty habits
from the Bard match," he said.
"We played with good intensity but
our execution wasn't as precise as
it usually is.",
"We didn't play ·our ·normal
level in the last three matches,"
said Hanna. "We had hoped to
maintain the level of play we had
in the early part of the season but
we haven't been able to do that."
Saturday, Marist will travel to
Columbia University _to take part
in a tri-match with Columbia and
Dartmouth College.
The Red Foxes will be without
the services of Andrews and
Cenicola who will be attending a
wedding.
"Not having Kim and Marianne
will give us a good chance to look
at what the younger players can
do," said Hanna. "The younger
players will have a good opportuni-
ty to gain experience and develop
their skills."
"The main goal for us for the
rest of the season is to regain our
early season form," Hanna said.
"We need to bounce back and play
the way we a·re capable of."
Results of last night's tri-match
with Skidmore and SUNY New
Paltz were unavailable at press

Tennis team places seventh

Staff Writer
The women's tennis team finish-
ed seventh in the Northeast Con-
ference tournament last weekend,
while the men ended their fall
season with a loss to cross-town
rival Vassar College.
A delayed start and a difficult
draw were part of the problem,
said head coach Terry Jackrel.
"We waited a long time before we
started," she said. "The delay was
tough mentally, it hurt us,
as
did
the draw."
The women were paced by four-
year veteran Renee Foglia, who
·won her opening round match 6-4,
6-J.
However, Foglia was unable to·
move on.
The Red Fcxes also received a
strong performance from the
doubles combination of Christine
Baker
and Jeannie Bacigalupo. The
tandem cruised into the semifinals
before bowing out to one of the top
teams in the conference.
Number one player Megan
Flanagan won her match by
default. However, the Red Foxes
may have finished higher had the
match actually been played.
"Megan has been playing real
well
as
of late," said Jackrel.
"Since a team receives more points
for a win than a default, if the
match had been played and Megan
had won, we would have finished
in fifth place."

Sports Editor
The men's and women's cross
country teams will be competing in
the Northeast Conference tourna-
ment this Saturday at Mount St.
Mary's College in Emmitsburgh,
Md.
This past weekend, the men's
team took part in the Hartwick In•
vitational and the women were
scheduled to compete in a meet at
Hofstra University. The team did
not race, however, because the
meet was cancelled due to inclimate
weather, said women's head coach
Kim Morison.
Morison said that the lavoff
should not have a big effect
on
the
team's performance. "The girls are
all in good shape at this point in the
season," she said. "They are
ready, this is what we have been
preparing for all season. It is our
biggest meet of the year."
Morison is optimistic that the
team will fare well in the tourna-
ment. "l think we have a good shot
at finishing in the top three
places," she said. "The times have
been improving all year and the
girls are looking forward to it."
In the Hartwick Invitational, the
men's squad finished fourth in the
six team field. Finishing ahead of
Marist was Colgate, Hartwick and
SUNY Oswego.
Marty Feeney, who finished the
race in ninth place, ran the· four-
mile course in a time of

for the Red Foxes was freshman
Dave Swift, who completed the
course with a time of

The next Red Fox
across the line was junior Matt
Murphy who completed the course
in 23:26.
Senior Fred vonBargen finished
the race with a time of 24:23. Rob
Johnson, a sophomore, came in
next at
24:42.
Dan Becker, also a
sophomore, finished the race

24-12
The Marist rugby club continued
its strong play last Saturday when
it defeated
C. W .- Post College
24-12,
for
its·
'third. consecutive
victory.
By downing C. W. Post, the Red
Foxes increased their record to
3-1.
Despite trailing 9-6 at the. half,
Marist came back and took control
in the second half. "We took over
in the second half," said club presi-
dent Stephen Batta.
"It
was a good
effort."
Senior Shamus Barnes led the
Marist attack with 12 points.
Barnes' offensive effort left him
one point shy of the Marist single
game scoring record of 13 points
held by Batta.
Barnes played well and scored all
of his points on kicks, said Batta.
Also putting points on the board
for Marist were senior Matt
Lederer and juniors Brendan
Gallagher and Lou Liggio. Each
scored a try, whkh is worth four
points, said Batta.
Despite not scoring, senior Matt
Notine also played well offensive-
ly, said Batta. "Matt got things go-
ing, although he didn't score, he
had a real solid game," he said.
Batta credited the team's defen-
sive effort in the second half as a
key to the victory.
"Defensively, we played well,"
he said. "Except in the first game
(a 15-0 loss to SUNY New Paltz)
we have done well on defense."
Senior Frank Romano and
sophomore Mike Costell9 were
singled out
by
Batta for their defen-
sive efforts.
"They were the main guys for
us," he said. "They played solid
and were a key for us."
Batta said he is happy with the
team's performance to date. "We
could be
4-0,
but I'm happy with
how we have been playing since the
opening game," he said. "Things
are starting to come together
for us
and we are playing well. We are
happy where we stand right now.''
The 'B' team played to its second
tie of the season as it finished its
game with C. W. Post knotted at
0-0. The 'B' squad now has a mark
of
1-1-2.

Booters drop two more;
streaky season continues
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
The Marist soccer team con-
tinued its streaky play last week by
losing two straight games.
The Red Foxes uropped a 3-0
decision to Central Connecticut
State University and suffered a
2-1
loss at the hands of the University
of Delaware.
Prior to these losses, Marist had
stopped a five game losing streak
by forming its own two game win
streak.
Head coach Dr. Howard
Goldman said that Central Con-
necticut was one of the finest teams
Marist had played all year.
"They were real strong," he
said. "They came out real hot and
we couldn't catch them. They had
some very strong, skillful players."
The Blue Devils scored all three
goals in the first half, and
the game
was more even in the second half,
-
said Goldman.
Central Connecticut outshot the
Red Foxes 13-4.
Although he did not know much
about Delaware prior to the game,
Goldman said that the game was
''winnable.''
"If
we had played well, we could
have beat them," he said. "They
were a_ lot like us, they played a
similar style of ball. They were
beatable, but we had some injuries
and
-
some mistakes that hurt us."

both had to 'leave the game with in-
juries and Goldman was fo(ced to
use his bench.
"We weren't really at full
force," he said. ''We start a young
team and when we had to go to the
·
bench like that, we became even
more inexperienced."
All three goals were scored in the
second half and Goldman said the
first half was played "relatively
even."
Delaware wasted no time getting
on the board
·
in the second half.
The first Delaware goal came at
1 :27 of the second half. Just under
five minutes later, Delaware made
it a 2-0 game at the 6:01 mark.
Senior Bobby Meindel cut the
Delaware lead to 2-1 at the 10:10
mark of the second half.
"We came back and did some
good things, but we were uriable to
get the equalizer,"
-
said Goldman.
Delaware outshot Marist 15-6.
Goldman was pleased with the
effort of goaltender Ryan Smith.
"He played very well in the net;"
he said. "We didn't really give him
the support we could have. He did
a nice job."
Consistency is the main focus for
the rest of the season, Goldman
said.
'
'The guys are still working
real hard, but we need to
_
get on top
of our game," he said. "We are
looking to gain experience and keep
our poise while trying to play our
game."
Marist now has an overall record
of 4-9 and a Northeast Conference
mark of 1-4.
Today, the Red Foxes play host
to conference foe Fairle

son University at 3 p.m. Results of

This Saturday, Marist travels to Troy,
N.Y. to take on Rensselaer Polytechnic In-

said Pardy. "We fpught them off three times

"We did some good things defensively,"
he said. "The defense was on the field quite

he said. "We're a good team, we'll turn it

Against Coast Guard, the Red Foxes were
