A Beacon man who entered three
North End residences last semester
was arrested and charged with
criminal trespassing last Thursday
after entering · a Gartland Com-
mons apartment, according to the
office of safety and security.
Jake Corton, 22, walked into the
unlocked apartment around 5:30
a.m. on Nov. 8, according to
Stanley Still, police chief.
Corton was on probation for a
similar incident at Bard College in
Annandale-on-the-Hudson, and is
also the man who was caught
trespassing in Townhouses C-5 and
B-3, and Garltand apartment G-8
last January, police said.

director of safety and security,
Corton was apprehended after be-
ing seen walking across the grass

front of G-section and detained by
Marist security officers until the
police arrived to arr~t him.
Corton is currently in Dutchess
County jail pending
$500
bail,
police said.

Proposed changes
will prevent
three-day weekends
by
CHRIS LANG
Staff Writer
Three-day weekends and "party nights" during the week may
become a thing of the past due to changes in the new academic calendar
and schedule that will be instituted for the 1991-1992 school year, accor-
ding to Marc vanderHeyden, vice president for academic affairs.
A presidential committee has been formed to create the new calendar
and schedule, and members are currently exploring various possibilities
for the 1991-1992 calendar and schedule, according to vanderHeyden.
Dr. John Ritschdorff, associate professor of mathematics and head
of the committee that is creating the new schedule said the specifics of
the changes in the calendar and schedule are unknown.
But some options being considered are:
- Starting the semester earlier to allow for some sort of a "midterm
break."
-
Starting classes earlier in the day.
-
Reducing the time between classes from 15 to
10
minutes.
-
Creating SO-minute time slots for select courses that would meet
three times a week (i.e. Monday/Wednesday/Friday).
-
Reinstating the former free-time slots, which two years ago were
Tuesday at 1 p.m. and Friday at 11:25 a.m.
---- _Increasing or decreasing ihe number of reading days.
"We must create changes in the current sche.dule. W,e m_!!st· put back
·the free period that we used to have because everyone wants it/' said - -
vanderHeyden.
•
· The final proposal "for the new calendar and schedule will be submit-
ted to President Murray for final approval in late December or early
January.

But, "Right now we are still collecting information and weighing the
various· optiol)s for the new calendar and schedule," said Ritschdorff.

Think twice about throwing out your papers

· "Recycle Now!"
That is the message the coIIege is sending
by installing cardboard boxes on every dor-
mitory floor and public area for depositable
bottles and cans last week as well as boxes
for every office desk for office paper.
"As
active as we are consumers, we should
be just as active to recycle," said Connie
McCaffrey, director of Housekeeping.
"If
we don't start doing something with gusto,
we're not going to have an environment."
In keeping with nation-wide efforts to pro-
tect the environment, the college has increas-
ed
the number of recycling programs to four
over the last year. The programs -
two of
which have started since June -
include
recycling computer paper, office paper, card-
board, and depositable bottles and cans
McCaffrey said.
The college also recycles scrap metal
resulting from renovations,_ such as the
vacating of
Marist East, McCaffrey said. She
said the money received by recycling totally
defrayed the removal cost.
Andrew Molloy, a professor of chemistry
and environmental science, said the scrap
metal
of upcoming renovations in Donnelly
Hall will
also
be
recycled.
Starting Jan. 1, 1991, residents of Dut-
chess County will
be
mandated to recycle
newspapers, paper, g)ass, cans, metal and
plastics and businesses will be mandated to
do the same as of
Sept.

"If
any student would like a desk-side box,
they should let me know and I'll get more
boxes for
them,"
McCaffrey said.
Housekeeping staff will empty the desk-
side boxes daily and store the paper in porter
areas. The National Recycling Company,
located in Marlboro,
N.Y.,
will
eventually
empty the bins every week, she said.
The depositable bottles and cans boxes
will
be emptied weekly by Housekeeping staff
and most likely returned at a local beverage
center, Mccaffrey said.
She said the boxes that were filled last Fri-
day were empty on Monday, indicating that
students may have taken the bottles and
cans.
Although she does not advocate taking the
bottles and cans, she said it was not a pro-
blem because at least the bottles and cans
were taken out of the mainstream of
garbage.
McCaffrey said she anticipates the cost of
recycling to
be
limited.
"The system
can
be
set up so that any
financial benefit goes to defray the cost of
the program," she said. "We hope that each
program will become self-sufficient or at
least cut a major part of the cost."
"We're asking everybody for their par-
ticipation and not to use the boxes for gar-
bage," McCaffrey said. "Anyone who has
a suggestion can also see me in Donnelly
101."
The boxes for depositable
bottles and cans
and office paper
are
the most recent efforts
toward campus-wide recycling.

'When we get the questionnaires back in early December, we will syn-
thesize the responses, see where things stand, and then get serious about
the changes in the new calendar and schedule," Ritschdorff said. "Right
now everything is still wide open."
Ritschdorff said tire committee has even looked at the calendar and
schedule systems used by other schools to get ideas for the "difficult task"
of creating Marist's new calendar and schedule.
"Obviously, the task of creating the new calendar and schedule is very
complex and there are many various interests at stake," said
vanderHeyden. "Everyone has a different opinion of when classes should
be held and what the ideal schedule would be."
"The problem in creating the new calendar and schedule is that we
are dealing with finite space and finite
,
time and we can't stretch that,"
said vanderHeyden.
Ideally, vanderHeyden said he hopes the new calendar

will benefit the Marist Community by advancing good teaching and good
learning, allowing for a better usage of[acilities, and creating more time

Th~ murders of President John F. Ken-
nedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy
were part of conspiracies that were covered
up by the federal government, a speaker told
students last week.
The assassinations were most likely con-
ducted by members of an anti-Fidel Castro
movement, organized crime and lower
ec~elon Central Intelligence Agency officers.
John Gordon, a consultant to the TV net-
works and and member of official assassina-
tion_ committees, spoke to a crowd of 85 peo-
ple m
·
the Theatre last Thursday about the
two assassinations of the Kennedys.
"Both killings were part of a well or-
chestrated assassination plots," said Gordon.
He said the Mafia could have put out the
hit on the President because he was having
an extra-marital affair with the girlfriend of
a major crime boss. Or the Cubans could
have done it out of revenge for the failure
of the Bay of Pigs, or it could even have been
the CIA that initiated the murders.
Gordon said the governments theory of
one gunman could not be true. He said there
was too much evidence to
·
prove that there
is more than one assassin.
Gordon said he believes there were multi-
ple
-
gufiman in JFK's case and at least two
in RFK's case. He said the killers of JFK
were behind him and off to the side, pro-
bably in the now famous, grassy knoll in
Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
Lee Harvey Oswald was not the killer of
JKF. Photographs and testimony even went
so far to speculate that Oswald was not in
the sixth floor window from which, the
government said Kennedy was shot, added
Gordon.
RFK's killer, Sirhan Sirhan, did not act
alone, Gordon said. Sirhan probably did not
fire the fatal shot, but no one will ever know
because a tracking of RFK's wound, (where
the trajectory of the bullet is traced through
the body), was never properly done.
The Warren Commission, headed by
former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
Earl Warren, conducted the official in-
vestigation into JFK's assassination and con-
cluded that it was committed by a single
gunman.
The commission
'
also came up with the
Single bullet theory which said that only one
bullet inflicted all the wounds on the Presi-
dent and also the wounds to Texas Gover-
nor John Connolly.
G9rdon said these theories could not be
true. He said ballistics tests of the bullets
fired, and tests on the degree of injury to the
President's head were not even remotely con-
sistent with the Warren Commission's
findings.
Gordon said the case has been officially
closed on the JFK assassination by the
government and every attempt to reopen it
has failed.
According to Gordon, RFK was shot by
two gunman. The first one was Sirhan Sirhan
and the second one most likely was a securi-
ty guard named Thane Eugene Cesar.
Cesar was walking behind Kennedy after
he made a campaign speech in a Los Angeles
hotel. Gordon speculated that Gordon could
have assassinated RFK on purpose because
Kennedy was waging war on organized crime
and they wanted him dead.
Or, Gordon said, Cesar may have acciden-
tally shot RFK when he raised his gun to
shoot back at Sirhan Sirhan.
Gordon said this man was never inter-
rogated fully and was never mentioned in any
government findings. There could have been
convicting evidence that Cesar shot RFK, but
the government looked the other way he said.
As far as the murder in Dallas, Gordon
said he could not say who exactly killed JFK

possible shooters. One possible killer accor-

relson is seen on film being escorted by police
officers from a railroad box car behind the
grassy knoll. He was never questioned and
is now serving a prison sentence for the
murder of a judge in
.
Illinois.
Gordon said JFK's body was damaged
during the flight from Dallas to Betheseda
Medical Hospital outside of Washington
D.C. and that the ensuing autopsy was done
incorrectly.

Then "Employment Practicum"

The Office of Career Develop-

and
despite a "TBA" listing in the

registrar's course book, one section
has already been filled.
The course ~ill help students in
the search for employment after
graduation, according to Deirdre
Sepp, director of career develop-
.
ment. It will run for two hours, one
day a week for seven weeks, and
students will get one credit.
The effort is just one part of a
program that Student Government
has created to
.
help increase
understanding about the situation
in the Persian Gulf. The larger part
will take place at a forum of
teachers, administrators and
students today in the Campus
Center, where they will voice opi-
nions and discuss the crisis and the
possiblities of war.

"We're teaching this to help
students get a jump on the job
market," said Sepp. "And to get
them geared up for their job sear-
ches."
"We're not saying whether the
crisis is right or wrong,'' said Des-
mond. "But there is a need to build
up a consciousness and understan-
ding that is proactive, rather than
reactive."
"A lot of people don't read the
newspapers and realize what's go-
ing on, but its important," said
Antonella Licari, a public relations
officer for student government.
Licari has been organizing the
ribbon-tying around campus.
"If
we go to war, a lot of our friends
could go," she said.
While President Bush has called
for an increase in the current
number of troops in the Persian
Gulf from more than 230,000 to at
least 400,000 in the next
few
weeks,
a number of Marist students have
been called to active duty, and still
others face the possibility.
"It is important that everyone is
aware of this issue, and the ribbons
and the forum are just a starting
point," Desmond said.
The forum \\-ill be held from
11
a.m. to I p.m. today in the theatre,
but the entire campus center has
been reserved
for the
event
so
smaller groups can break off and

Canterbury lab up and running

JOHN CAMPBELL
Staff Writer
After more than a month of
delays, students living in the
Canterbury Garden Apartments
have a computer lab - saving them
the ten-minute commute to
campus.
Carl Gerberich, vice president
for infonnation services, said the
delays involved waiting for new

replaced computers in Canterbury.
The computers were finally in-
stalled three weelcs ago in apart-
ment 74A, and will most likely be
emulated to the mainframe system
next week, information services
said
.
"We took the five best com-
puters from adult education and
put them (at Canterbury)," said
Gerberich. ..Right now we're
waiting
for emulation cards so the
students
can
get access to the main-
frame from Canterbury."
According to Christine Mulvey,
manager of telecommunications,
the target date for their installation
is November 26.
Gerberich said the lab at Canter-
bury is a learning experience
because for the first time infonna-
tion services will be responsible for
maintaining a lab off the main
campus.
"Last year the mainframes in
Champagnat were vandalized and
we want to see how the computers
are treated by the students,"
Gerberich said
.

ed for the beginning of the
semester, when the lab was suppos-
ed
to open.
"Right now we are getting ready
to install a letter-quality printer "
Raimo said. "We're also going to
be installing new chairs and lamps
to make the students more comfor-
table."
Abdul Kamara, a graduate stu-
dent with an assistantship, main-
ta!ns the Jab and helps students
WJth any problems which may
occur.
Kamara lives in the apartment
directly across from the lab and is
accessible during the hours it is
open. He said a suggestion box for
students' comments will help make
the computer lab a better for
students.
.. I'm a student myself and I can
relate to their problems," Kamara
said.
It will help students prepare a
resume and find contacts on the
outside, develop a job search plan
and effective networking skills, and
offer students a realistic look at
what to expect after graduation and
what different companies are look-
ing for, Sepp said.
'' Employment organizations
have different approaches to hiring
people," Sepp said. "And often
students don't understand those
differences."
This is the first time the class is
being offered, and it is unknown
whether it will be offered again
after this semester.
However, one section of the class
has already been filled, Sepp said.
The Monday section, which "ill be
taught by Pam Meeds on Monday
from 2:35 to 4:~5, was filled after
the Monday registration period.
A second section was added and
will be taught by Deidre Sepp on
Tuesday nights from 6:15 to 8:15
p
.
m.
This class "ill only
be
offered to
juniors and seniors. "It
will
help
seniors better cope with the reduc
-
tion going on in the market," Sepp
said.

Kid conference: ,.Higher education
Local children
get a preview
of life at college
by
CHRIS SHEA
Editorial Page Editor
Seven - year-old Sabir Archer
came to college last Friday and he
liked what he saw.
'
"I want to go to Marist when I
get older," he said. "It's my
favorite college."
Archer, along with several other
students attending a unique area
school, went on a tour of the col-
lege in order to be made aware of
opportunities the future holds in
higher education.

said Manuel Mercader, a junior m
the ISU.
"We want them to see what goes
on as far as the lifestyle goes. We
wanted to show them the social at-
mosphere, not just the academic at-
mosphere," he said.
The children saw different parts
of the campus from a freshmen
dorm to the Lowell Thomas Com-
munications Center, where they
·
were given the chance to work a
television studio firsthand, a com-
puter lab and a radio production
room.
According to Koshkin, the
children reacted positively to the
tour.
The event, sponsored by the In-
ternational Student Union and the
Community Service Program, is
one of three similar programs to be
conducted over the next month.
Phil Koshkin, director of the
Community Service Program, said
the purpose of the event was to give
the children an opportunity to view
what college life entails and the dif-
ferent facilities that colleges have
to offer.
Manuel Mercader (center) and Mike Rodia (right) talk with some young students visiting
from the North End Resource Community Center
on
the set of MCTV's show "What's Up?"
"They all seemed happy and ge-
nuinely intrigued as to what hap-
pens on a college campus. Hopeful-
ly seeing how interesting college
can be will be an enticement for
them to do well in school."
The children were of the Islamic
faith and had been pulled out of
public school system by their
parents because the parents felt the
the system did not cater to all of the
children's needs, said Koshkin.
The children, who ranged in age
from seven to 14, are educated at
the North Side Resource Com-
munity Center in Poughkeepsie.
ParentsJeach the children from
6
a.m. to l p.m. The school is head-
ed by Marshall Shamsideem, coor-
dinator of the North Side School
and a leading figure in the Moslem
religion in Poughkeepsie.
The tour involved International

taking the children to all areas of
the campus showing both the social
and academic atmosphere.
"What we tried to do was give
the kids something to strive for,"
Koshkin said the children are of
above-average intelligence and
have a disciplined lifestyle instilled
in them by their parents.
"It's a definite advantage for the
kids," Koshkin said. "Whatever
they learn in class can be reinforc-
ed by the parents at home."

If the Board approves the project, renovations of the Business,
Financial Aid, and Registration Offices would start as soon as
possible to produce the best results over the five-week winter break,
Sullivan said.
He said other renovations would include shifting the cafe and
student academic services, which would most likely occur next
semester.
The cafe would be moved adjacent to the top portion of the
greenhouse, he said. And the Offices of Career Development and
Field Experience, Higher Education Opportunity Program, Lear-
ning Resource Center and Academic Counseling would occupy the
same general area, but include the area where the cafe is currently
located, he said.

I sell subs to drug dealers,

They all like something different.
Nurses like ham and provolone

Marist students like everything

"Huh, uh, no," he said.
After going up to his room and

throu~h the lobby on my way out.
"Is that Subway?" he asked.
"Yeah, didn't you hear me ask
you if you ordered it when I came

"Yeah, I didn't think you were

cough syrup."
Most people aren't as stupid,
they're just unfamiliar v.ith the
Subway menu.
Ne,,ertheless, when you have to
deal with the public all day like l
did at home, you tend to label so-
meone as stupid if they don't know
exactly what they
'
re talking about.
You tend to get annoyed when
someone asks you if you sell hot
dogs or hamburgers; or how long
is six inches; or my personal
favorite, what is wheat bread.
The only real annoying thing
about Subway is that after work-
ing there, I always smell like food.
It took me a few weeks to make
this discovery.
Aft•!r working on Saturday
nights, I would always catch up
with my friends at the bars.
We would be hanging out for
awhile until someone always said,
"Are you hungry? I don't know
why but for some reason I just got
hungry."
So if for some reason you're feel-
ing hungry, give me a call. And if
I'm not busy serving Metal-heads
and drug dealers
,
I'll stop by.

Shaping up the
academic schedule
The college is weighing the options of changing the
academic calendar and schedule. And while some of the pro-
posed changes are good, others could cause problems.
Here's how some of the propos·ed changes shape up:
- They want to push the beginning of the semester back
to start the year earlier, and allow for a mid-term break.
While a good proportion of colleges do start their semesters
in late August, it cuts the summer short. Many students re-
ly on their summer jobs to supplement tuition, and cutting
the summer short cuts money short, too.
A mid-term break, while not essential, does help take the
pressure of schpol work off the st11de.nts' shpuJders. But,,;
.
in light of the increasing diversity in demographics of the
student body, it is sometimes difficult for those students
who live outside the tri-state area to get home.
It
could work
better if the break included more than just the Monday off,
as it was in the past.
-
Starting classes earlier in the day. This would likely
mean 8 a.m. classes rather than 8:15s. But that extra 15
minutes in the morning is helpful, especially to the faculty
and the commuters, and pushing
it ba
·
ck will be painful.
-
Reducing the time between classes from 15 to 10
minutes. This is not a good idea. Many students rely on that
extra time to talk to their professors after class, as well as
run errands around campus.
And some professors keep students in class longer than
the time alotted. Those students will find it tough to make
it to their next class on time. The academic committee may
want to consider reducing the time between the 4:10 class
slot and night class to a 40-minute gap.
-
Reinstating the.free time slots during the week. This
is a necessity. They should never have been cut and moved
to Friday in the first place. The freetime slots, which used
to be Tuesday at 11 :25 and Friday at 1 p.m., give clubs and
activities more of a place during the day, and don't restrict
events until after 9 p.m. - when most of the activities, lec-
tures and events occur now. They also allow students more
options in seeing their professors during office hours.
-
Creating SO-minute time slots that meet three times
a week. This could work well with core classes at the 100
and 200 level, since those are generally the largest and tend
to have a majority of underclassmen.
The five-day week is traditional. In theory, full-time
students should be going to class five days a week. And
50-minute time slots three days a week may allow faculty
to accomplish more in class. The topic will be fresh in
students' minds, and the attention will be better.
But a minimal instructional week of five days is going
to restrict many students, especially upperclassmen, who
have on- or off-campus jobs, internships, sports, club duties,
and other responsbilities that are typical of most college
students.

NFL steps out of bounds:
.
Arizona loses Super Bowl
CHRIS SHEA
Thinking
Between
The
Lines
In a day where only
35
percent of eligible
.
Americans turn out to vote, I think we pro-
bably should
ask
why the National Football
League has suddenly acted, it seems, to raise
the social consciousness of the entire
country.
Just in case you missed it, the
NFL
an-
nounced plans to move the
1993
Super Bowl
out of Phoenix,
Ariz.
because the voters of
the state rejected a bill to declare Martin
Luther King Jr.'s binhday a state holiday.
The loss of the Super Bowl, if it actually
occurs, would cost the state of Arizona
millions.
·
Now, there are two obvious questions
which arise here.
First, why on earth wouldn't a state want
to declare King's binhday a state holiday?
The man was a hero to millions and one of
the most influential leaders of the twentieth
century.
The second question is, since
when has
the
NFL
had any kind
of
political activism? And
isn't it kind of suspicious they are startine
now?
The first question, concerning the voters,
is
hard to
answer.
While the bill was voted
down by only
a
slim margin
(a
percentage
point or two), it's still difficult to understand
why the holiday
was
voted down. Martin
Luther King
Jr.
's binhday is, after all, a holi-
day in
47
other states.
It's not fair to declare Arizona a state full
of racists. After all, how many of us use
Martin Luther King Jr. Day to think about
and contemplate the brilliant life and tragic
end of a great man?
Not manv.
Which is ·worse: Not ha~ing a holiday or
ha\ing one for the v.Tong reasons?
Don't most of us use
the
day off to sleep
.
late and not give a second thought to the man
who
,
made the holiday possible?
I'm not sure.
But this isn't the sad part.
While it isn't easy to understand why the
Arizona voters sacked Martin Luther King
Jr. Day, it
is
easy to understand why the
NFL
couldn't pass up the chance to make a
political statement.
It's
called free publicity.
It's also called a disgrace.•
Remember, this is coming from a league
that has been around for decades, and yet
until
1989
never had a black head coach, and
still hasn't had a black general manager.
This, even though, the majority of players
in the lea~ue are black.
Now suddenly they are coming off like the
strong
arm
of the NAACP.
I believe this puts the NFL at the top for
the "Hypocrite
of
the
Year"
award. (By the
·
way. George Bush is a close second.) ·
Not that the
NFL
has any business nos-
ing around in politics anyway, especially the
kind of special-interests lobbying it
was
do-
ing before the election. By announcing it
would consider moving the Super Bowl
beforehand, the
NFL
was
tampering
with the
election.
Let's see if we can't straighten things out
a
bit. The
NFL
is a
sports
league. The Super
Bowl
is a
game. (Although usually
not
a
very
close one). The ratification of Martin Luther
King Jr. Day
as
a state holiday, on the other
hand. is a POli~ical device.
Obviously there's a difference.
Now there's rumors starting that the Na
-
tional Collegiate Athletic Association may
be
getting into the act, too.
The
NCAA
holds two football bowl games
in Arizona which now might move elsewhere.
It's a case of an organization (whether it
·
be
the
NFL
or
NCAA)
trying to do the right
thing
for
the
v.Tong reasons.
Both organizations should stay out of
politics and stick to pla:,ing
ball.

Letters to
Editor:
·
· Recently in Bro. Donald Kelly's statistics
class students were asked to do a statistical
analysis. The topics for these analyses rang-
ed from how many hours a week students
talk on the· phone to how much money
students spend drinking each weekend.
·
If
you are like most and you just received
your mid-terms back, you may be asking
yourself why you didn't do as well as you
thought. Whether it be one class or five, you
know you could have done better somehow.
Perhaps you're one of those students in
the analyses who watches 49 hours of T. V.
. a week, talks on the phone for 10 hours a
week, and spends $70 a weekend on drinks.
Or possibly you're one of those students
who falls in the mean and watches 21 hours
ofT.V. a week, talks on the phone for 3 1/2
hours a week, and spends $22 a weekend on
drinking.
In either case, you are using valuable time
and money on things which don't pertain to
studies at all.
the Editor
Some students at Marist spend $15,000 a
year on their education, but most are getting
a paid vacation. Instead of taking advantage
of the educational opportunities they are
given, many
can
be found babbling profusely
around the unfinished perimeters of campus.
It
students were to redefind their reasons
for being in college, I'd gamble to say that
their priorities would change.
The moral of the story may be found in
the immortal words of Joseph Conrad, who
said, "The mind of man is capable of
everything -
because everythingis in it, all
the past as well as all the future."
.
My hope is that the reader will not only
look at the statistical value of this article, but
that he or she
·
will also engage in an eye-
opening experience.
Richard Angelo
Sophomore
In defense of internships
Editor:
This Jetter is in response to "The Bottom
Line" column in last week's issue on what
Kevin St. Onge called "the exploitation of
Marist students."
The author suggests the
college
demands
that all student interns receive monetary
compensation for their time. What St. Onge
refuses to recognize is the fact that the ex-
periences, networking and hands-on skills
earned at an internship will benefit the s_tu-
dent many times more than any monetary
rewards.
I have participated in two internships in
my school career, one of these currently. In
my first internship, as a senior in high school,
I interned at a real estate hea~quarters in
Westchester County.
Because I was an unpaid intern, I was able
·
to float through five different departments
in 10 weeks. In this way I was able to see all
sides of the business. During these ten weeks ·
I followed many managers
.
and asked endless
questions. I also made numerous contacts
and received a letter of recommendation
from the owner of the agency. Upon conclu-
sion of my internship, l was offered a full-
time summer job in any department I
wanted.
At no time during this internship did I feel
"exploited" or consider myself to be a "cap
-
tive market.'' Because I was unpaid, I could
spend my time in whichever office I chose.
My present internship works in much the
same way
.
I am a senior now, interning as
a peer counselor at the Office of Career
Development and Field Experience. There
are very few things that I am told to do, ex-
cept reasonable reading and writing
assignments to earn my college credits. The
rest of the projects we (there are five of us)
choose according to our interests and/ or ma-
jor. Once again, the experience and network-
ing that I am gaining here greatly outweigh
amy monetary compensation that could be
offered to me.
If I were paid at either of these internships,
my supervisor would have been more inclin-
ed
to tell me what I could do. What would
have been the difference between my intern-
ship (or Co-op) and an entry level position?

:::
takes responsibility
KEVIN ST. ONGE
The
Bottom
Line
People have to start taking responsibility
for their actions.
Accountability and responsiblity are being
replaced by pseudo-scientific excuses made
credible by the discipline of psychology.
Alcoholism was once considered a bad
habit before it was upgraded to an addiction
and now a disease.
There may well be scientific evidence
showing a physical dependence on alcohol
but that does not lessen individual respon-
sibility for activity during a drunken stupor.
The old excuse of "society made me do
it" does not wash anymore but, as John Leo
pointed out in U.S. News and World Report
early this summer, several academic
disciplines combined with psychology are fill-
ing the "alibi gap."
People make mistakes in judgment. Peo-
ple do stupid things.
If
we listen to psychologists, there is an ex-
planation for everything from A (abuse) to
Z (zoophilia -
302.90 in the "Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders," presumably a sexual disorder of
some kind that involves animals.)
Pathological gambling, coded 312.31 in
the manual, reportedly-led to the demise of
Pete Rose. Former Washington, D.C. Mayor
Marion Barry supposedly suffers from
alcoholism, (303.90) while telephone
scatologia (302.90) was used to explain the
unusual, most people would say obscene,
phone habits of former American Universi-
ty President Richard Berendzen.
People make mistakes in judgment. Peo-
ple do stupid things.
Why not leave it at that and hold people
responsible for their actions? No excuses.
Leo described a court case in Los Angeles
that essentially allowed Kevin Mitnick to
disassociate himself from his actions. Mit-
nick apparently tapped into a corporate com-
puter system and stole :i
.
n expensive security
system. Note the word
"stole."
The judge, according to Leo, considered
Mitnick the victim of a "new and growing"
impulse disorder -
computer addiction.
What a sorry state of society.
Actor Chevy Chase makes the argument
for personal responsibility when he talks
about the Betty Ford Center, a clinic for
recovering drug and alcohol addicts which
seems convinced, "it's not your fault that
you take dope or you drink, that it's
something beyond your control."
The success of Alcoholics Anonymous cer-
tainly'indicates such disorders are not beyond
control and the first step to recovery is not
to take that next drink. ln other words, ex-
ercise responsibility.
Fortunately the "Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Health" is being revised
for 1993.
Early indications are that 1 out of 4
psychological explanations for unusual ac-
tions will be discarded.
That fact alone indicates an attempt at
over-explanation.
Society should place an emphasis on
responsibility and not look to psychology for
exoneration.
BY THE WAY
. . .
Mike O'Farrell's "Thurday Morning
Quarterback" of Nov. 8, went one step to
far.
It would be nice to have Marist students
at all athletic events cheering their teams on
to victory. RAH, RAH, RAH.
It
is appalling students can't get excited
about how well their teams are doing.
The new Student Booster Club is a
welcome addition to the Marist community
and it should go far towards fostering in-
creased fan participation at athletic events.
(not to mention attendance, writing the
weekend sports schedule on the corners of
all the blackboards was a great idea but so
far only basketball and football have made
the chalkboards)
The problem is Mike O'Farrell is making
the same mistake Chris Baustista did earlier
this semester in a letter to the editor claim-
ing, "Marist athletes deserve our support."
O'Farrell maintains athletes "represent
each of us" when they compete and insists
they are somehow serving the college.
Marist athletes do not deserve our support
simply because they put in long hours of
practice. Despite the noble appeal, they are
not competing for us. They involve
themselves in athletics for personal reasons
that have nothing to do with Marist College.
Scholarship athletes are paid to play.
Those athletes not on scholarship
presumably play out of love for the sport.
Reading into it anymore than that, is doing
everybody a grave disservice.
It really is a shame Mike O'Farrell and the
Student Booster Club are so convinced
athletes somehow "deserve" recognition
solely because they are athletes.
Using that line of argumentation,
Mike
O'Farrell deserves recognition solely because
he is a sports writer, having nothing to do
with whether he's any good or not.
For student military reservists, country comes first
by
TINA LaVALLA
Up until recently, the Middje East crisis
has, for most ofus,
see01ed
relatively distant
and irrelevant to our daily routine. But in
speaking with two Marist students who have
already been called to serve in Saudi Arabia,
the conflict is now beginning to affect our
community directly.
.
Two students have been called to their
respective military bases, and although they
were sent back to await further instructions,
it is highly likely for them to leave at a
moments notice.
Jn discussing the possibility of serving in
Saudi Arabia, the student serving in the Air
National Guard (who wishes not to iden-
tified) said he had already spent time in Saudi
Arabia durine the summer. His attitude
wa~
that it was his duty as a member of the arm-
ed forces to serve his country, and that he
recognized the possibility of v.-ar when he
first joined.
"But what about leaving everything
behind?" I said. "And don't you have se-
cond thoughts now that there's a good
chance that war will break out?"
His answer was that defending America
had to be done by someone, and it was bet-
ter
that a person qualified do
it,
rather than
anyone else.
Likewise, the student in the National
Guard had even gone as far as to have
volunteered for a six months tour. WHY?
was my first thought. It seems crazy to even
think of sacrificing so much for a war that
would accomplish
so
little in
the
scheme of
things.
His response however, was that respon-
ding in the event of a crisis, was one of the
requirements included in exchange for the
rewards the National Guard has provided
him. He already has close friend~ in the ~
-
tid-
dle East and it only seems proper to assist.
I was surprised to learn of such dedicated,
patriotic souls floating around our campus,
because honestly, it is the few and far bet-
ween college student who would be willing
to dedicate themselves to such an important
commitment, not to mention the possibility
of sacrificing their lives to "drawing a line
in the sand."
Of course, this is not to say that as col-
lege students we aren't dedicated ... we are,
but just to different things that seem pale by
comparison.
Before interviewing the reservists, we
agreed that there are two different issues in
the crisis. One: Saddam Hussein is a
dangerous leader, and that the seizure of
Kuwait undermines the stability of the
region.
The second issue being, that all we're
fighting for is oil, and that Hussein's actions
aren't a valid reason to have American lives
lost.
It seems that Bush is trying to "flex our
muscle" to the world, in order to prove that
we are still a superpower amidst a new global
balance. But must we defend every nation
who runs into trouble?
The Bush administration has been calling
up to 180,000 extra troops for "Operation
Desert Shield."
The amount of American troops leaving
for Saudi Arabia is the most amount of U.S.
forces deployed since the Vietnam war, yet,
the Bush administration has failed to an-
nounce what goals will be achieved by being
there.
It
is only with a clearly defined
American position, minus the fiery rhetoric,
that the President should proceed in
diplomatically solving this crisis.
In discussing the two sides of the issue with
the reservists, their commitment, despite the
opposing view, still stands strong. They arc
looking at the impending crisis with the eyes
of an American soldier. A soldier commit-
ted
to
serve and protect the interests of the
United States.
But at ~ome point in time. they may even
question the validity of the cause.

Each year, the college suggests
faculty members take a sabbatical
leave. Approved by the Research
and Sabbatical Committee, a leave
may be taken for study, writing,
research, or any activity con-
tributing significantly to the
enhancement of the faculty
member or the Marist Community.
Here's this year's list of faculty
who took the college's suggestion
for sabbatical:
Donald Anderson, assistant pro-
fessor of English, is working on a
novel, "Bit Players", which he
hopes to complete and have
published by the summer of 1991.
According to Anderson, this work
has been in the makings for the
past 8 years but he's been too busy
to work on it.
Anderson plans to bring the
creative process into the classroom.
"Being away from writing, I've
missed the excitement and frustra-
tion of creating. I'll get back into
it with my students," Anderson
said.
Dr. Anderson will be returning
in the Fall of 1991.
"Computers· will supplement
textbook learning and provide what
can't be found in books. Students
may work more independently
with
the computers and I'll be more of
a mentor when the computers are
use~," LaPietra explained.
LaPietra said the computers will
not substitute for the laboratory
setting, which he feels is necessary
for students to handle the
chemicals and equipment.
Eileen Appleby; assistant pro-
fessor of social work, is completing
her work on her doctoral disserta-
-tion in which she is researching the
connection between self-advocacy
and self-esteem among visually
handicapped students in higher
education. She plans to assess how
other institutions are using this pro~
gram in a college setting.
Marjorie Schratz, assistant pro-
fessor of psychology, plans to write
a graduate-level textbook for use in
the developmental psychology
course she teaches. She intends to
include information on human
at Fordham University. Casey
plans to produce a subject-author
and cross-reference index for these
tapes and the topics discussed.
John Ritchdorff, associate pro-
fessor of mathematics, will use his
Spring sabbatical to do research on
expert systems. He plans to study
computational models of expertise
with emphasis on knowledge
representation, knowledge- acquisi-
tion, learning and instruction.
He plans to address the human
factor and technical aspects of
these systems as they apply to use
by faculty, students and others.
Catherine Newirk, associate pro-
fessor of medical technology, is us-
ing her 1990-91 sabbatical to par-
ticipate in a portion of a three-year
Fellowship program for Physicians
in Bone Marrow Transplantation;
Hematology and Pathology of the
New York Medical College In
Valhalla, New York.
Helen Gengenwarth, assistant
professor of computer science and
math, is completing work on her
doctorate by studying parallel pro-
cessing, a process that allows multi-
ple processors to function both
simultaneously and at a distance
from each other.

LETTERS
... Continued from page 9
Editor:
I am very disturbed with the ap
parent lack of concern with the pre
sent
military buildup in the Middle
East. The U.S. is presently involv-
ed in the largest military action
since Vietnam and few people have
expressed outrage to the possibili-
ty of the loss of American lives.
Conservative
figures
put
American loss of life close to
1
million over the few weeks alone.
Is anyone afraid?
,
Does anyone
care? Have we become so involv-
ed with ourselves and our own lives
that we will allow Bush to commit
our armed forces to war without
question?
It does not make sense to me, It
would seem that in a place like
Ma:rist that there would be some
opposed to war. There are many
here who have family and friends
serving in the Middle East. Are
they not afraid?
If
so, when will
they express that concern -
hopefully before bodies begin ar-
riving in bags.

Cartoon was offensive
Editor:
aren't interested in who the
"enemy" is, but blindly follow our
leaders who; according to the New
York Times, "have very few Arab
experts in the State Department or
Pentagon" and know next to
nothing of Arabic history and
culture.
The desert war for 18 miles to the
gallon will be a costly one in human
lives, not just of Americans, but of
a huge Iraqi civilian population
which is
not
responsible for what
Saddam Hussein has done.
That is why I found your Nov.

cartoon
offensive. It stereotyped
Arab peoples as carpet-makers,
camel-riders, "Aladdin Lamp"-
makers and bluntly, as imbeciles.
So while we sit here writing in an
alphabet originally cooked up in
the Middle East and count our
blessings in Arabic numerals, I sug-
gest that this time around, we

"l

on everyone's part," said Mattice.
"We didn't stick to fundamentals.
I'm very disappointed, especially
after the way we played last year.
We were outskating teams last
year, we dominated teams."
"When you lose your home
opener, it is disappointing," Mat-
tice said. "The fans got their
money's worth in excitement, but
they didn't get their money's worth
in good hockey."
"This is our first year in the up-
per divison, we really didn't know
what to expect from CCM," said
captain Kevin Walsh. "We knew
that they had a tough team last
year, but we were a little uncer-
tain."

"The defense looked slow and

basic fundamentals," he said.
"I
really think this was an off night
for us because we played real well ·

Southern Connecticut.''
· Walker closed the gap to 6-5
when he scored his second goal on

tice. "Every once and a while, you
have a game like this. They will be
back."
The first line of Sherako; Ken-
dall and Walker drew praise from
Mattice.
"They all played well," he said.
"They scored four of our seven
goals. They did a nice job."
Kendall said that the team needs
to come together.
"We're not a team, we're very
much just a bunch of individuals,"
he said. "That has to change."
"I
don't think we played as well
as
we should have," said Kendall.
"It's not so much the skill, but
more of an attitude problem."

President's regatta
returns to Hudson
by
JIM SAVARD
Staff Writer
After a one-year hiatus, the-
President's Cup Regatta will return
to the banks of the Hudson Satur-
day at
7
a.m.
"Last year, the regatta was
cancelled because we could not get
enough participation from other
schools," said head crew coach
Larry Davis. "Our regatta was
scheduled for the same day as three
other major
-
regattas."
Fifteen teams were invited to
race, and five accepted, said Davis.
Competing with Marist will be For-
dham University, Manhattan Col-
lege,
St. John's University, SUNY
Maritime
and
Renssalaer
Polytechnic Institute.
"This year's regatta is still a lit-
tle bit smaller than we would like
.to
have it to be," said Davis.
"However, we are just happy to
have
it
back
.
"
One reason. for the small turnout
is the Frostbite Regatta in
Philadelphia.
"Our regatta is being held on the
same day as the Frostbite," said
Davis. "That is why we couldn't
getmore teams to participate in the
President's Cup."
"We are looking forward to hav-
· ing the chance to nost the regatta
with all the teams we invite par-
ticipating," said Davis.
Fordham will be the toughest
competition for Marist, according
to Davis.
"They
will certainly be the big-
gest challenge we will face," he
said. "We have seen them in some
races this year, but we have never
raced them head on. We know they
are tough and we are reaay to face
them head on."
The weather will be a factor in
the racing, said Davis.
"If the weather holds up and our
team performs up to our expecta-
tions, we should win," he said.
"If
the
.
weather doesn't hold up, it is
·
hard to predict an outcome because
anything could possibly happen
with lousy weather. The Hudson is
so unpredictable, it is hard to tell
what will happen. Anything can
happen on this river."
Marist will be racing different
,boat combinations
,
said Davis.
"We will be racing our men's
·
and women's varsity and junior
varsity teams and both four and
eight-person boats in the race,"
said Davis.
The President's Cup is the last
race for Marist during the fall
season. The spring season will
begin in March.

Magarity said. "He wasn't able to
finish off shots he normally would
have if he were healthy, but
I
was
pleased with him."
The biggest concern for Magari

ty was on defense.
"Our press is half way there,··
he said. "It's too early to judge it.
I was a little disappointed with the
defense at times. There was some
confusion with th

MIKE O'FARRELL
· Sports Editor
The Marist football team won its
first-ever Atlantic Collegiate Foot-
ball Conference championship
. Saturday when
ii
destroyed
Brooklyn College 40--0 in the pour-
ing rain at Leonidoff Field.
The Red Foxes finished the
season with a 7-2-1 mark, the best
Marist record in the school's 13
year history·of Division III foot-
ball. Marist posted a 5-0 record in
conference play.
.
"Winning the conference feels
real good," said second-year coach
Rick Pardy. "The guys worked real
hard for this, they showed a great
deal of character."
Marist wasted no time in getting
points on the board against the
Kingsmen.
·
The Red Foxes forced Brooklyn
to punt on its first possession. The
snap was high and Marist had first
and goal on the Brooklyn four-
yard ·line.
·
Two plays later, junior fullback
Chuck Mullaly scored his eight
. touchdown in ,the last four games
on a one-yard run.
The extra-point failed, arid With
less than three minutes gone,
Marist was on top, 6-0.
The Red Foxes made it 8-0 with
3:53 left in the first quarter when
Brian Minholtz scored a safety off
a blocked Brooklyn punt.
On its next possession, Marist
marched
44
yards before freshman
tailback Donald
D'
Aiuto scored his
first of three touchdowns on the
day. This one came from three
yards out. Brian Mccourt added
the extra-point and the Red Foxes
were on too 15-0.
,· Marist made it three scores on
three" 'possessions:' whefr• 'senior
quarterback Dan O'Donnell
scrambled in from two yards, cap-
ping off a
57
yard drive that lasted
three minutes, 25 seconds.
McCourt's kick was good, giv-
ing the Red Foxes a 22-0 lead at the
half.
In the second half, the teams
played 12 minute quarters due to
the _sloppy conditions.
The conditions did not affect

With only seven seconds gone in
. the third quarter, Marist had in-
creased its lead to 28-0.
D' Aiuto did it again on the next
Red Fox possession. This time, the
tailback · scored on a 76-yard
touchdown run, giving Marist a
34:-0_lead with 7:21 left in the third
auarter.-
D'Aiuto's last touchdown run
_ put him over the 1,000 .yard mark
for the season. It also gave him 232
yards on the day, a new Marist
single-game record.
"Don did a great job," said Par-
dy. "He had help though, the of-
fensive line did a solid job in giv-
ing him the initial holes that he
needed. Once he got those, he did
the rest."

The final Marist touchdown
came at the 10:47 mark of the
fourth quarter.
:Sophomore tailback Christian .
Mosello scored on a seven-yard run
to make the score 40-0, Marist.
Pardy said that Marist wanted to
"finish" this game.
"We've had problems putting
teams away," -he said. "During the
year, the third quarter
was
a pro-
blem for us~

we didn't want that to
happen in this game. We wanted to
shut them out,_ and we did."
The weather played a major role
in the game. Marist gained 309
yards of offense, all on the ground.
The Red Foxes only attempted one
pass play.
Brooklyn could only muster
three yards of offense on 47 plays.
That is an average of just under
three inches per play.
"Defensively, we shut them
down completely," Pardy said.
"They were a one-dimensional
team with good receiver&..
However, we practiced real hard
and were confident that would not
be a problem. Everi if the weather
had not been -so bad, I think the
outcome would have been the
same."
Pardy said that this year's team
was solid as a unit.
"There was camraderie and
family on this team," he said.
"You need that to be successful.
This team was always ready to
play. They were always mentally
prepared and they bounced back
well after letdowns."
"This was a year
in
which we
surprised a bunch of people," said
Pardy. '' After being beaten by
Iona in the first game (56-14), we
had to prove people we were a good
team. This team did that. At times
I think that they overplayed their
abilities.''

The men's basketball team was
defeated by the USA Verich Reps
107-95 Friday night in the Red
Foxes' first exhibition of the 1990
season.
After holding a 52-47 lead at
halftime, Marist was outscored in
the second half, 60-43.
"I saw some good things out
there," said fifth-year coach Dave
Magarity. "We really had no of-
fensive continuity, but that is my
fault because we played 13 guys in
different combinations to give
everyone a look."
Marist started the game leading
by as many as nine points, thanks
in part to Steve Paterno who open-
ed the scoring with three 3-point
baskets. The senior guard finished
. the game with a team-high
IS
points .
"l
was pleased with- the up-
perclassmen," said Magarity.
"They did a nice job, it was tough
having Reggie (Gaut) in foul trou-
ble, but they did a good job and we
got some things going." Gaut, who
fouled out, finished with eight
points.
One question mark before the
game was how well the seven
newcomers would play.
The ne)Vcomers played well in
the first half, but the inexperience
began to show in the second half.
· "The young kids played inex-
perienced ia the second half,"
Magarity said. "They are still lear-
ning ev'erytime on the floor and
they did O.K. Right now, they just
need some time to grow."
Two bright. spots were Fred In-
gles and Izett Buchanan.
Ingles, a junior college transfer,
scored 11 points and grabbed eight
rebounds. "Fred's experience
is
starting to show, he played well,"
said Magarity.
Buchanan, who had missed three
practices prior to the game, tallied
14 points and snared nine rebounds
for the Red Foxes.

On Saturday afternoon, the
football team ended its season
by
winning its first Atlantic Collegiate
Football Conference Champion-
ship, dominating Brooklyn Col-
lege,
40-0.
Friday
night,
the basketball team
debuted its seven new players
to
those that did not attend the
Red/Black scrimmage two weeks
a~o.
These new players began their
careers as Marist athletes. They are
preparing themselves for what lies
ahead. The newcomers may have
lacked confidence,
but that will
come as
they
gain experience. The
rookies are learning a new system,
a new idea.
Saturday afternoon, 14 seniors
played their last football game at
· Marist College. Their career at
Marist is over.
The seniors have improved from
the first game they played four
years
ago. Each game they became
more confident in themselve and in
each other. They have worked hard
for what they have accomplished.
They have had their day in the sun.

How
can
you compare a slam
dunk to an end-around? How
can
you compare a blocked punt to a
free-throw? In reality, it can't be
done.
But in reality, it is possible.
At Marist this year, the com-
parison of basketball to football is
real.
While basketball and football
each have its own unique identity
and style, they also have some in-
teresting factors that relate to each
other.
Sure, they may be far-fetched, or
even a
bit
coincidental, but they
are
reaJ.
This past

proves that.
