After Dyson, new dorm is next
by
TOM KELLY
Staff Writer
Remedying the housing shortage
on campus by building a new
residence hall is the admiriistra-
tion 's next construction priority
now that the Charles Dyson Center
is complete, according to college
officials.
However, it may take as long as
six
-months
to one year before con-
struction plans are approved, ac-
cording
.
to Mark Sullivan, executive
vice president.
"It would not be before the fall
of 1992 or the fall of 1993 that the
.
building would be ready," he said.
Sullivan said he expects the pro-
ject to be delayed until an en-
vironmental assessment has been
conducted.
The residence hall project was
temporarily delayed when the ad-
ministrators chose not to renew the
lease for Marist' East and the need
·
for classroom space demanded the
construction of the Dyson Center.
·
"Certainly the need is great and
·
has not changed at all/' said Mark
Sullivan, executive vice president.
"If
anything it has become more
acute."
The proposed residence hall will
be a nine-story building located
behind Champagnat Hall. It is ex-
pected to house from 400 to 450
students
in
suite-type
arrangements.
The cost of the project remains
unclear. But original projections
placed it at $IO.I million. That
figure is expected to increase
because it was projected two years
ago.
The housing shortage has con-
tinued to force many students to
seek off-campus accomodation or
to reside at the Canterbury Garden
Apartments six miles from campus.
Three senior·s investing $25,000
for business independent study
by
JENNIFER MC LAUGHLIN
Staff Writer
Three seniors have been chosen
to participate in an independent
study that entails the investment of
$25,000
in the stock market.
The money, which is part of the
college's endowment, was granted
by President Dennis J. Murray and
the Board of Trustees, and will be
managed and maintained by these
seniors
as
a student/college port-
folio according to Dr. Chet
Ko~s. faculty advisor of the
project.
Kobos,
assistant professor of
business, developed the idea for
this independent study, and chose
seniors John DiPalo, Beth Pres-
tiano and Foster Nostrand
to invest
the $25,000.
The money, over which a broker
has control, is currently in money
market
accounts, and the students
are studying the Wall Street Jour-
nal, Investor's
,
Daily, Barron's,
Value
Line
and annual reports
from different companies to
research the market carefully.
"Right now we are concentrating
on pharmaceutical, environmental
and natural gas common stock;
and General Electric and IBM
long-term stock," said Prestiano,
a native of Jamaica Estates,
N.Y.
"These types of (long-term)
stock are the base of the market,
would show steady growth, and
stay in the portfolio for a long
time," she said.
Although the students meet with
Kobos twice a week, most of the
work is done outside the meetings.
DiPalo, Prestiano, and Nostrand
were chosen by Kobos because of
their involvement in the Finance
Club and their contribution to
cer-
tain finance courses at the college,
Kobos
said.
"The economy is not doing that
well so we have to be extra careful
in what we buy, because there are
no longer any sure things," said
Nostrand, a native of Sea Cliff,
N.Y.
Predicasts, a group of data
bases, is another tool being used in
the analysis and research of dif-
ferent companies. It
is
effective for
researching the project, since the
information it provides is a
max-
imum of three days old, according
to the group.
The group has been using
Predicasts under the instruction of
Katy Silberger, head reference
librarian.
"I feel (the independent study)
is going to help us in the future by
giving us the hands-on experience
of working in the financial in-
dustry," DiPalo, a native of
Bayside,
N.Y.,
said.
The independent research is
worth three credits over the entire
school year.
Off-campus crimes
spur safety concern
by
CINDY DONALDSON
Staff Writer
Marist students living off-
campus in the City of Poughkeep-
sie are becoming increasingly con-
cerned about their safety in the
area, following a number of mug-
gings, burglaries and an assault
since July.
In the last six weeks alone, there
has been one house burglary and
three muggings.
Junior Matt Giaquinto was
mugged on Sept.
5
at I a.m. while
walking home from Sidetracked, a
bar on 103 Parker Ave.
.
Robert Colbert, a junior from
West Warwick,
R.l.,
was mugged
on Sept. 22 at 12:30 a.m. on Mill
Street, while walking to his house
on Roosevelt Avenue.
couldn't believe people just driving
by without coming to my aid,"
Colbert said. "People just don't
want to get involved."
For the six juniors living on
Church Street, four break-ins
meant the loss of a microwave, a
radio, mini refrigerator, plates,
blankets, and beer signs from their
rented house.
A waterbed was also split open,
causing water damage to the first
floor. Dan DelPrete, one of the
residents, said police were con-
tacted, but no one was caught.

Six juniors living on Church
Street have had their house broken
into four times since July, the most
recent in late August.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Giaquinto said he was followed
and then
_
surrounded by four
youths, who made racial comments
as they rummaged through his
pockets in search of his wallet.
Although he was not carrying his
wallet, the youths locked his hands
behind his back, kicked his feet out
from underneath him and slamm-
ed his head on the sidewalk.
Giaquinto suffered three facial
bruises and a broken nose. But he
did not report the incident to the
police because he said they failed
to help him to his satisfaction last
September, when he was mugged
by a man who put a gun to his
stomach.
He
said he doesn't fear for his
safety. "My worst fear was having
my
_
parents find out and pull me
out of college,'' he said.
"I
.
don't feel unsafe or
vulnerable. I'm not worried com-
ing into my apartment late at night
just because
I'm
living off campus.
There are certain areas college
students have to stay aw~ from,"
Giaquinto said.
When Colbert was mugged, he
said one man hit him in the back
of the head, while another held
a
knife to his throat and stomach.
The two men stole $8 and fled
when a resident yelled out his
window.
"It wasn't so much the money
as
the fear for my personal safety. I
DelPrete said he thinks his house
is a target because college students
are living there. "You're a victim.
They know you're college
students," he said.
John Doherty, assistant pro-
fessor in the criminal justice
department, and a retired captain
of investigations for the City Police
Department, said students' safety
is at risk, but that not all areas of
Poughkeepsie are dangerous.
"The city is safe in certain areas,
not in known drug spots -
it's all
relevant to city
life,"
he said.
The city is divided into six posts,
Doherty said, and there is one
patrol
car
for each post, which
doesn't allow every part of the ci-
ty to be patrolled and watched
continuously.
"When cops bust parties, they
are not fighting crime. Instead,
criminals are out committing mug-
gings, robberies and burglaries,
while cops are dealing with
students," Doherty said.
Peter Amato, associate dean for
student affairs, said students have
to use common sense.
"You have to
be
alert, and you
should be sober. Don't put yourself
in a vulnerable position if you can
avoid it," he said.
The City of Poughkeepsie Police
Department and the Office of
Housing and Residential Life were
unavailable for comment at press
time.

YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE TO CRAM ON
YOUR WAY HOME!
RON MARLI
Although I do not possess a
crystal ball, I have distinct visions
of what movie-going
will
be like for
at least the next five weeks.
In fact, at this time of year I
am
always willing to stake my very ex-
istence on what old Mr. Hollywood
will be giving us in the pr_e-
Christmas movie season.
At this time of year, film fare
seems to be geared less towards
average Joe's and Joanne's, as a
shiny bald guy named Oscar takes
precedence over us all.
You
see,
even if we're not in-
terested in a certain film, there's
always a good chance that if Oscar
gives it an Ok, we just might
see
it
anyway.
The fall has always been perceiv-
ed as the time for "serious" films.
Regardless of the inevitable horror
series installments that always rear
an ugly head around this time, Oc-
tober is more the month of Meryl
Streep than Michael Myers.
As
the Academy Award bids
begin this month, ambitious film-
making
will
replace slick ad
cam-
paigns.
Movies with more dialogue
than gun
shots now stand a chance
to reach the audiences that would
otherwise
pass
them up.
Imagine
the
Quincy Jones bio-
pic, "Listen Up," being released
among a flock of summer
blockbusters. This film would have
the same chance at success
as
a
Saturday morning cartoon about
algebra (actually,
the people behind
"Cop
Rock"
might
be
able to
use:
this idea).
The heavy-weights of this fall
season, so far, are "Goodfellas"
Even the fall teen-fare will be
bright with this week's release of
"Roxy Carmichael, Welcome
Home" starring the appealing
Winona Ryder and Jeff Danniels.
This month's most promising
new release looks like the World
War II air force saga "Memphis
Belle."
November has an equally high-
caliber offering with Kevin
Costner's directing debut, the out-
back epic "Dances with Wolves."
Of the season's light-comedy of-
ferings, I'm looking most forward
to the latest from producer John
Hughes, "Home Alone."
This
one
promises to be a ball as a
youngster, who has been acciden-
tally left behind
as
his family leaves
for the holidays, defends himself
against two burglars.
Naturally, the fall gives us the
opportunity to search for bidden
treasures.
My favorite discovery so far is
"Miller's Crossing," a classy
gangster film that plays like .. The
Untouchables" as if it was written
by Hemmingway. Look for poten-
tial Oscar nominations in Joel and
Ethan
Coen's screenplay, as well as
Marcia Gay Harden's impeccable
performance as Verna.
Most of this fall's gems may be
the films that we have to look for.
But afterall, nothing ventured,
nothing gained.

Special Services gaining students,
attention
by
JOHN CAMPBELL
Staff Writer
The Special Services office
received
200
applications for ad-
mission through its office for this
year's freshman class and is an-
ticipating at least 250 for the up-
coming year, breaking last year's
record, according to Dianne Per-
riera, coordinator of the Special
Services Program.
While Marist has gained a
reputation and publicity through its
joint study with IBM and a free
advertisement in The Wall Street
Journal, the program is gaining na-
tionwide attention for its support
to students with learning and
physical disabilities.
."From
July first to today, we
have had
100
inquiries about our
learning disablity program," Per-
reira said. "We're averaging 15
calls per week alone."
Perriera said in this year's
freshman class, 25 students are
eligible for support through the
program. There are
17
learning
disabled students and eight
physically disabled students.
There are also three part-time
learning disabled specialists helping
the students with studying and
organizing, getting right to the
heart of their disability so they can
become better learners.
"There are only 40 to 60 support
services like ours in the country,"
Perreira said. "Of the
200
applica-
tions we received last year, 85 per-
cent were for learning disabled."
A total of 45 students with
disabilities were accepted to Marist.
The program accepted 28 learning
disabled students, of the 28, 17
chose Marist.
"We work on the admission of
those students with learning-
disabilities," Perreira said. "The
admissions office gives acceptance
to those students physically disabl-
ed. They cannot discriminate
against a student who has all of the
qualifications to come to Marist,
just because of a physical disabili-
ty."
There are also eight students
with physical disabilities who are
freshman. They do not have to
work through the office as much as
the learning disabled students but
they know help is available if they
need it.
The total number of students in
the program is 115. While many
may think this is an unusually low
number, Perreira said the quality
of support the students receive is .
extremely high.
·
"We have an 80 percent reten-
tion rate," Perreira said. Marist
overall has a five-year retention
rate (the percentage of students
who graduate in five years or less)
of around 60 percent, according to
the office of institutional research.
"We want students to learn and
succeed. They are students at
Marist first, and students who have
a disability second," said Perriera.
The program, with the aid of a
support service grant, has tape
recorded texts,tape recorders, note-
takers for those who find it dif-
ficult to write what is heard and
written on the board. It also has
counselors, ready to help at any
time.
For those students with a learn-
ing disability, it is suggested they
take only 12 credits
so
the change
of atmospheres from home to
Marist is done easier.
"For some learning disabled
students, one hour of work could
take
4
hours," Perreira said. "Our
students are intelligent and capable
to do the work, they just need to
do it a different way."
Students involved in the program
take their tests outside of the
classroom, in a quiet place to en-
sure concentration. They are also
given extra time.
In order to find a person'
specific learning disability, tests
must be given. Perreira said she
needs to know the student and the
student's particular learning
disability in order to help them.
Perreira said students who are
physically disabled know that sup-
port is available to them if they
want it or need it. All they need to
do is ask for the it.
·iiie
office also acts as an in-
termediary between students and
faculty to give them a better
understanding of each other.
This past Thursday, improvisa-
tional skits were held in Marian
Hall, in an effort to raise awareness
of disabilities. Perreira said she is
hoping that a club or group of
clubs comes forward looking to
promote events bringing disabilities
to an even higher level of social
consciousness.
'Rebirth' of CUB means changes,
•
improvements
by
SCOTT DAL V
Staff Writer
The College Union Board wants
YOU!
Bekinning this year the CUB has
'
changed the way that it attracts,
organizes and runs its events with
the hope of attracting more
students, according to Jean Krokus
CUB president.
.
"This is the rebirth of CUB,"
said Krokus, a senior from Nor-
wood, N.J. "We are starting out
with everything brand new.''
"In the past, CUB was broken
down into committees which head-
ed different types of events."
Krokus said. "Now if a CUB
member wants to run a certain type
of program, they are in charge of
it. It is their job to get others to
help."
Steve Sansola, assistant dean for
student affairs, resedential life and
activities said this concept of large
groups working togethc;r is
challenging -.and'
-allows
th~
-
in-
dividual to experience different
parts of the Union Board.
"This type of cooperation will
make the events run smoother and
will be enjoyed by all," Krokus
said.
The function of CUB is to pro-
vide entertainment in all areas,
such as lectures, concerts, films,
and socials, said Krokus.
"The member will do everything
·
for the program like it was their
baby," said Krokus.
Kevin Desmond, student body
.
president, said that the changes in
CUB should bemore effective and
will be more group oriented.
Sansola said the program change
will help CUB members become
leaders and that hopefully member-
ship will increase.
•
CUB will offer incentives to'
students in order to attract them to
CUB events, as well as calling
students on the telephone, Krokus
said.
CUB will also use different
marketing techniques
·
such as
advertisements and footprints
leading to bulletin boards to attract
more people to attend the events,
she said.
"We are trying to get our own
bulletin board. We will start to put
out a newsletter, and then eventual-
ly, we hope to have some classes
work on special projects for us,"
Krokus said.
Previously, CUB has had a hard
time competing against the bar
scene and parties but Krokus said
she hopes that will change.
By going to CUB events, the
students get to meet the performers
as well as get
to
know other peo-
ple on campus, she said.
"We are trying
to
gear our
events towards things that are hap-
pening on campus as well as in the
world," she said.
Some of the programs that are
coming up that are geared to world
happenings
are
A
IDS lectures and
Black History month next
February.
Students have been brainstorm-
ing and making suggestions for
CUB events.
Steven Schmitt, a senior from
Coram,
N.
Y., said that most of the
students on campus probably do
not know what CUB is or what ac-
tivities they sponsor. He said CUB
needs to publicize their events more
because when they do, the event is
very successful.
"I
think that the club should put
out a survey to see what the
students think
of them and what
the students want," said Chris
Trieste, a senior from Monroe,
N.Y.
Krokus said
.
she would like to see
more underclassmen get involved in
CUB so that
experienced
members
can run the club in the future.
"Marist College believes in the
well-rounded student and so does
C.U.B.," said Krokus. "We want
to get everybody involved in every
aspect of our club."
The flu season is enough
.
to· make you sick.
It's that time of year again - flu
and sick season, or is that flea and
tick season? Anyway, you're either
sick as a dog or sick of the dog.
Right now throats are scrat-
ching, noses are running and
chicken soup is simmering.
Being sick is about as
fun
as
changing a flat tire in the pouring
rain with water dribbling down
your back and into your
underwear.
At least when you're changing a
tire you feel capable.
When
you're
sick, you feel like curling up in a
ball under your covers and wishing
you were dead.
Being sick is a long process too.
Fust,
you start to get the sniffles.
This
becomes most embarrassing in
class when you have
to
suck snot
about every two minutes. Then,
you have to sneeze.
You don't want to sneeze,
because you know that everyone
will
tum
and look at you at the
same time. You can't help it -
Whaaaa-choooo.
After being blessed by half the
class,
you wonder i_f everyone
.
is
still
watching you as you wipe the snot
goo on your pants.
The sniffling nose phase lasts
about a day or two until your run-
ny nose stops dribbling and starts
to clog up.
You can no longer breathe
through your nose. It feels like
so-
meone squeezed a tube of Shoe
Ooo up your nose. You try your
darndest to clear the nasal jam.
You suck as hard
as
you
can
through your nose. Nothing. You
.·
blow as hard as you
can
through
your nose. Zilch. You become so
frustrated that you keep sniffing
and blowing until you get
·
-
something.
Eventually,
you
do
get
something -
a headache.
Your bead becomes cloudy and
you feel it pounding •.• pounding
••• pounding.
Headaches are the clincher. Once
you've reached the headache stage,
it's off to
bed
with box of Kleenex
and a glass of water.
You moan as you crawl under
the cozy covers and start thinking
that the only good thing about be-
ing
sick is that you don't have to
go to class.
As
you lie in bed waiting for the
aspirin to relieve the poun-
ding •.. pounding .•• pounding in
your head, you start to think about
good ol' mom.
No
offense mom.
«Mom would make me feel
bet-
ter," you think. "Yeah,
I
wish
mom
was
here
to make me
a
grilled-cheese sandwich and some
chicken noodle soup."
Of course, you know that the on-
ly cure for being sick is warm, flat
ginger ale.
In a shon time, your
once
warm,
cozy
bed
has now become an oven.
You push some covers aside only

The
Bed
to pull them back five minutes
later.
Your bed is now
set
at 350
degrees and you drink the glass of
water
by your bed. You decide that
sleep will make the time pass so
much faster.
You tum over on your left side
and close your eyes.
About 10 minutes later, you
notice something amazjng. The
right side of your nose is no longer
clogged up. By lying on your left
side, all the snot in your nose ooz-
ed over to the left nostril.
Ahh,
you
can
breathe,
somewhat.
Now
you have
an
ad-
vantage over your stuffed honker,
you
can
breathe.
You grab
a Kleenex
and prepare
to blow like the wicked wolf. You
make sure you plug up the clear
nasal passage because for some
reason you think that by doing this
you'll have more blov.;ng power.
You sound your trumpet nose
and lime pudding spurts out. Yuck.
You feel like you've just blown
your brains out through your nose,
and if you're a computer CHAT-
geek, trust me, yo~ have.
Within minutes your nose is
restuffed.
You flop back into bed and
moan some more. You want more
water but you know that if you at-
tempt to get up, no matter how
slow, you'll get a headrush and fall
flat on your face.
Luckily, your roomie comes
home just in time to service your
every
need. The one person you
can
really trust, your confidant and
friend.
"What the beck's wrong with
you?" they say.
.. I think I have Vitas Geralitus.
Please get me a glass of bjomborg,
I don't think we have any warm,
flat ginger ale," you say.
"Vitas Geralitus? Isn't he an
ex-
tennis player," asks your faithful
mate.
"Yeah, but just listen to it. Vitas
Geralitus. It sounds like a fatal
disease. I'm going to die," you
cough.
Your
personal
Florence
Nightingale gets you a glass of
water and tells you not to
fill
the
room with germs.
You're left in your germ-infested
room all alone. The digital clock
becomes your only form of
entertainment.
"Wow," you wonder. "2:02 is
the- same upside down as it is right
side up."
Just watching the numbers
change each minute becomes an ad-
diction. After a while, you feel
stupid that you're getting excited
watching the clock.
You you go back to being
miserable.
You can't breathe, you're bak-
ing under your covers and you have
Shoe Goo in your nose.
You can't take it anymore, so
you ask Florence to get you some
medicine, preferably something
that will
lcnoclc
you out for the next
four days.
The only problem with cough
medicines is that not only do they
relieve you from coughing up your
spleen, but also they
loosen
all the
phlegm in your chest.
For the next few days, you'll be
left to cough up parts of your
lungs. But for now; you
can
just lie
in bed and sweat and feel
miserable.
It
could be worse, though.
I
im-
agine having fleas crawling all over
you isn't very pleasant either.

to a
new
Marist
by
JIM SAVARD
Staff Writer
Alumni Weekend brought many
back to their alma mater. Some
came for the football game, others
came to see friends and some just
came to remember.
Joe
Kennedy, of Yonkers,
N.Y.,
was a member of the class of
1966.
He came back to remember.
"I
was here when the bottom of
Donnelly Hall was a dorm and
what a piece of you-know-what it
was," said Kennedy. "And
I
was
also here when they
were
building
and opening Leo, Sheahan and
Champagnat as dorms."
Phillips, a computer science ma-
jor when he attended Marist, said
the changes to the campus are
striking.
"The whole campus looks
great," said Phillips. "I was in
Lowell Thomas and
I
think it is
nicely done. It's about time they
did something to Champagnat and
Donnelly -
I am really impress-
ed."
Phillips said he wished he had
the chance to see the Lowell
Thomas building and the Margaret
M. and Charles H. Dyson :Center
in use.
5
"This is my first time back in
four years, and I have only seen
one face that
I
know," said Ken-
nedy. "And that person was from
the class of 1968."
Tony Phillips, of Chicago,
Ill.,
was a graduate and student body
president of the class of 1985. This
was his first trip back in three
years, he said.
Barbara Krozser-Fleischmann,
from Fairfield, Ct., said she was
impressed with the new look that
Marist had created.
Circle

Marist alums hug at the Alumni Weekend picnic held at the Mccann field on Saturday.
"It was not so highly regarded
for its academics, it was known as
a party school." Fleishnainm, a
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
. 1979 grad, said. "Every Friday
afternoon, every dorm would have
a keg on the front lawn. There
would be pot smoking and the
place.would look like a dump. My
parents would come and get me
and tell me the school looked
awful."
"Every Friday after-
noon, every dorm
would have a keg on
the front lawn ... ''
Sue Weisser, of Rochester, N.Y.,
made her first trip back to Marist
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ since her graduation in May.
"The reason why I came back
was to see my friends, and I have
been walking into quite a few of
them," said Phillips.
"The whole place looks great,
I
can't believe that they finished
Dyson so fast," she said.
"I
wish
that they would have had it done
for when I graduated.>'
While much has happened since
May, a lot more has happened in
20 years. Anthony Romano, of
Morristown,
N.J.,
is a witness to
that.
This was Romano's first trip
back to Marist in three years and
he said he thought the Dyson
Center and the rest of the campus
looked great.
"When I was here, there was
Champagnat, Leo, Donnelly and
Sheahan," he said. "There was
nothing to the left of the library.
There was also no boathouse, ex-
cept for a place to keep the boats,
nothing like the one that is up
now."
Donna Trotto, of Oakdale,
N.Y., said she was happy to be
back at Marist.
"The Lowell Thomas building
was just being built my senior year,
and now they've got Dyson, it
looks great," said Trotto, a 1987
graduate. "It looks a lot nicer than
when I was here.
"Marist was the best four years
of my life," she said.
Duane Smith, of Pleasant
Valley, said he has seen the school
grow and keeps up with all the
sporting events.
"I
pay quite a bit of attention to
what is going on at Marist," Smith
said, a 1978 graduate. "I am im-
pressed with what has happended
in the past 10 years, since Dennis
Murray has taken over. It is impor-
tant for someone who has
graduated to see his or her school
grow. I am pleased with what is go-
ing on here."
Smith said what he thought it
was like to be an alumnist: "When
you are living here day-to-day the
pressures and annoyances hit you
every day. Then when you are out
of here, you look back at it from
a different perspective. You forget
the bad times and remember the
good ones."

CINDY DONALDSON
Staff Writer
In September alone, many Marist
students stated they have been robb-
ed, mugged or involved in incidents
which threatened their personal safe-
ty. One mugging was committed
against this writer as she was prepar-
ing the previous story.
I
am a
junior majoring in com-
munication arts here at Marist. I en-
joyed the two years I lived on campus,
but living off-campus for my last two
years seemed to offer more. I am
beginning to wonder if risking my
safety is worth the benefits of living
with my friends off-campus.
On September 24 around 10 p.m.,
my housemates and I were unloading
the weekly groceries. I had pulled in-
to the driveway and stopped the
car,
so we wouldn't have to carry all the
groceries down our long and dark
driveway.
I
was taking the groceries out of the
trunk when an older man passed
behind me.
I
didn't think much of it;
people are always passing by our
house to go into the park that is
located next to our house.
We finished unloading the trunk
and I went to park my
car
in the back.
My housemates went in the house and
closed the door behind them.
When we rented our house on
Talmadge Street, I
was a
little wary of
the
neighborhood.
I
always
told my
housemates that my worst fear
about
living there was running down the
driveway and having someone
jump
out at me as
I
tum the corner. My
worst fear came true that
night.
I
parked my car and began walking
down the driveway which was pitch
black.
I
hate the dark, so·
I
began to
mn. As I came running around the
comer, I wasn't greeted bv mv smil-
ing housemates. Instead, my ngm
arm
was grabbed by a large hand.
The man who had passed behind my
car ten minutes earlier had come back
and was awaiting my arrival. I threw
his hand off mine and began scream-
ing.
I
was scared to death.
He tried to grab me repeatedly, but
I managed to get away only because
I
think he was drunk or high. He
didn't say anything to me and he only
reacted to my screaming by running ·
down the street as I ran
up
the steps
into the house.
The whole time I was praying that
the door wasn't locked or that so-
meone would help me.
I ran up the stairs and slammed the
door behind me.
It
all happened so
fast.
I
was hysterical. My housemates
couldn't understand
what
I
was trying
to tell them.
My roommate, Jennifer
Lindeman, reacted by calling the
police.
Three cars came to the house in a
matter of
minutes.
They
realJy
responded quickly.
I
had to describe
the man and then a police officer drive·
me
around in the squad car to
try
to
find him.
We didn't, and
I
don't think
I'd be able to identify him anyway,
since it was so dark out that night.
The incident has
really scared me.
When we rented the house,
I
knew
Talmadge Street wasn't
in
the best
area. But
I
wasn't worried about my
safety
or my housemates'
safety
as
much
as
I
am
now.
Marist doesn't offer enough hous-
ing, but
I
know
I
wouldn't have
stayed
on campus all four years either. The
safety of off-campus students is an
issue both the college and the
Poughkeepsie police should address.

Safe and secure?
Incidents threatening the lives of at least nine off-
campus residents in the last six weeks have students
concerned for their safety in off-campus apartments.
Their concerns are well-justified. With the muggings
of three juniors and the break-ins and burglary of at
least one apartment, students living in off-campus
housing need to be wary of their surroundings.
~
,
On-campus residents need to realize they, too, are
not invulnerable to potential crime. They are in the
same risk when walking in the streets off campus as
any of the students_ living in local apartments and
houses.
· ··
Students tend to confuse a greater sense of protec-
tion under the auspices of the college with less secur-
tiy in the general Poughkeepsie area. College security
does not extend outside the boundaries of campus.
Yes, the safety on campus is greater than the safe)y
off campus.
But
that doesn't make residents in any of
the dorms, townhouses or Gartland Commons apart-
ments immune to crime.
Students need to use common sense in locking doors,
and traveling in pairs at odd hours -
whether it be
Marist housing or in the general Poughkeepsie area.
Many on-campus residents frequent off-campus
establishments, whether they be friends' apartments,
convenience stores, bars or restaurants. They must
realize that once off campus, they are as vulnerable as
the next -
if
not more.
Underclassmen may be especially in danger of
becoming victims of such crimes since they are less
familiar with the area, and may not realize how much
more unprotected they become once they pass the
boundaries of the college.
Many upperclassmen are susceptible as well, if they
have adopted the attitude that they know the area well
after living here for three or four years.
Stude-11ts should be cautious and alert when walking
at nigl- , both on campus and off, but particularly for
thos' who are walking between campus· or their local
ap~ cments and bars or restaurants or convenience
stores.
.
If
students have been drinking, they need to be ex-
tra cautious on the walk home. But it is important to
remember they can be victims at any time, not just late
at night.
Let the recent misfortunes be a warning to the en-
tire student population; its safety shouldn't be taken
for granted.

TERRIBLE
T~ING-
ls politics a lifetime job?
CHRIS SHEA
Politician for life.
Thinking
Between
The
Lines
More and more, the ·state and federal
governments are filling up with these
enigmas.
Coming this November, nearly half of all
United State Senators
will face only token
opposition in their bid for re-election.
And in the House of Representatives, on-
ly one in seven races are competitive.
You can see the problem with this sort of
set up. Just check out your television in the
coming month. Every other commercial is
ended with a small qualifying announcement
saying, "this announcement was paid for by
the Committee to Re-elect ... so-and-so."
It seems politicians are more concerned
about getting re-elected than they are at do-
ing their job.
And because the incumbents are spending
so much money, challengers find it hard to
compete on the air waves and at the polls.
I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you
haven't heard before.
But maybe things are starting to change.
Voters in Oklahoma passed a law limiting the
length of a politician's career in the state
legislature. And it was a landslide.
In similar situations, voters in California
and Colorado are expected to pass similar
acts this election day.
Maybe the good people of South Carolina
will
get the hint and do something to get rid
of their infested state legislature -
calling
an
insect
exterminator might be a good place
to
start.
In
case
you missed it, recently in South
Carolina the state legislators have
been
submerged in a drug-and-money scandal that
could lead to as many as
30
of the state's 170
state legislators being sent off to end their
term in office in the federal penitentiary.
Editor's
Notebook
Ilse Martin
The grass sprouted just in time for the
annual Alumni Weekend, and an abun•
dance of college tours on Columbus
Day.
That's right, the grass. Whatever the
technique, the grass in front of the
townhouses, and in front of the Dyson
and Lowell Thomas Centers seems to
have sprouted up through a layer of hay
practically overnight.
The Democi:atic · chairwoman of the
health-affairs committee is caught with co-
caine. A Republican Party representative
trades his votes for cash. The sordid list goes
on.
Ask the voters in South Carolina, what
happens when you have politicians for life.
Now this column is not a knock on the
competency of all politicians. The sad part
of this affair is that the quality of politicians
in office today, in general, is probably higher
than ever before.
It's just that these people feel trapped in
by the system.
No matter how good a politician he or she
is, nor how honest, nor how reliable, if they
don't play within the system, they don't get
re-elected. And in 1990, unfortunately, the
system says if a legislator wants
to keep .IHs
or her job then they must have glossy
cam-
paign advertisements and legions of
fundraisers.
Meanwhile,
as
everyone in Washington
puts together their campaign brochures and
reads the latest election polls, the federal
deficit is growing at over $7 billion a week,
and the major energy policy developed by
this country seems to revolve around the
United States Marine Corps.
Politicians for life.
The legacy of this problem may not be felt
for generations. Young people who are aspir-
ing politicians cannot get into the field
because all the positions seem to be held by
87-year-old men who have been in office
since
1400
B.C.
Can you say stagnation?
With these roadblocks for new people with
fresh ideas, the quality of thought in
Washington and state capitols around the
country will deteriorate.
And as
a
result, you'll have Congress
pass-
ing absurd protectionist bills like the one just
passed to support the American textile in-
dustry.
Because, most likely, the people who
want to eliminate foreign competition fac-
ing the U.S. textile industry are the same
peo-
ple who make nice hefty contributions to
your friendly neighborhood senator or
representative.

It may have been the unseasonably
warm weather recently, but what were
brown, earthy plots of land at the begin-
ning
of semester, are now (almost) green
lawns.
At times in recent weeks, the grounds
of the college have looked more like a
hay field than a campus the smell of a
farm included. And 'now groun<~s·
- keepers are even mowing the lawns in
front
of
the
townhouses.
Some alumni commented on how
pleas!ng the campus look was. And with
the high schools having Columbus Day
off~
Mo!1day turned out the high school
sem~:,rs m droves -
and the grass was
gettmg ever so green.

Live
-
the life now, because it all changes tomorrow
Ab, to
be
a fifth-year senior during Alum-
ni Weekend, it is a strange yet magical thing.
People buy you beers for they know you,
grew up with you, and know that you are still
a poor college student -
so desperate for
cash, and they are all employed.
One thing they also know is how repressive
their new lifestyle can be. Driving along
Route 9 Saturday afternoon, having slept in
a room with a good number of fellow
graduates, drank beers until five a.m.,
wreaked havoc in a Denny's until six, been
awakened by someone nicknamed Psycho
who keeps throwing water and breaking the
door down, taken a good
4S
minutes to
figure out where we're going to chow away
our hangovers and sleeplessness, decide on
Subway because McDonald's is the same
everywhere and we drive down that Route
9
that brings back oh so many memories,
quiet moments at Vanderbilt, laying under
the stars, stumbling into Handy Harry's and
stealing Eagle Brand honey roasted peanuts
(and being told this the next day because you
don't remember). Being banned from North
Road, grabbing a slice before class. Alumni
weekend brings back the lifestyle of waking
up whenever (or whenever Psycho wishes us
to get up), watching cartoons and scream-
ing about how we had the better ones,
Woody Woodpecker, Bugs, Casper the
Friendly Ghost and today's kids got all the
garbage, Ninja Turtles and Oink, the Little
Dinosaur. And just figuring where we're
gonna go and what is there to do today, who
will we see where tonight and why do we real-
ly care? The actual act of alumni weekend
is a re-creation of the good life we once had.
And driving down Route
9
to the alumni
barbecue where we'll bump into old pond
scum roommates and women that we've lov-
ed and ask the old inevitable "what are you
doing now?"
"I
thought you were moving
to Detroit." "Yeah, well,
I
screwed up,
things fell through, what can I do? Still just
loving life, how 'bout you?" And being in
that five-year plan everyone thinks that you
graduated and let me tell you
I
thought for
sure I had too. But I haven't and I'm still
here to get into those silly small-talk conver-
Letters To The Editor
sations with faded faces and forgotten
names, who I
·
either buy a beer for or pound
this one so
I
can get away - "Well, I'd love
to talk but
I
really_ h~ve to get a beer. Say,
you haven't seen Hob, have you?''
And so you walk away and
1 think of how
I'm still here, still in college. What a life we
lead. And I think of driving in that car pass-
ing by that field between Donnolly and
Lowell Thomas, the one that Gatehouse is
on, and there are a bunch of guys playing
football, t-shirts and baseball hats, illegal
holds and inside jokes and personal rivalries.
The car of graduates looks back at them and
quiets down from our ramblings of what shot
we bought for who and our delightful driver
Dina shouts out what we all feel. "Lord, tell
them how damn lucky they are; let them
realize how good life is now." And we all
muttered our silent Amens.
To be young and in college. To be able to
road-trip on a whim to Graceland, to stay
up all night talking, to walk by
a
riverside,
to
hear some amazing thought that someone
has time to think, to sit and read, to dance
naked on Benoit. College is filled with all
kinds of things, things that need to be. We
all grow up in these days, we change and
learn and sometimes it is very strange but it
is inevitable and we should love these days
for that, for allowing us to just be, to be
awakened by boys named Psycho and to
sleep on stranger's floors. Take it, shake it;
life's what you make it. And shake it now
because eventually you'll end up as I did,
grabbing a slice in Settembre's, getting ready
to binge in Skinner's and turn to the girl next
to you, who you've known for four years,
seen in so many situations, said hi to in the
halls, and she'll say "Well, Mark, have a
good life. l doubt we'll see each other
again." And she'll walk away as you stop
to think "No, it will all happen again. I'll
see here in a bar in Wyoming or buying an
album in Baton Rouge." But it may never
happen again so live it large now while you
can. It's too short a time to just let go. Take
it, shake it.

Bush and Congress
must work out budget
Athletes right to privacy
Editor:
In response to
Mike
O'Farrell's column
concerning women
in
the locker room which
app~ed last week,
I
would like to offer my
respo11se;
Mr. O'Farrell, can you honestly say that
women have the constitutional right to enter
men's locker rooms? Or for that matter, do
men have the right to enter women's locker
rooms? As a typical member of the media,
-
you would have us believe the answer is yes.
Are we also to believe that you being a sports
writer has nothing to do with your opinion.
You
claim
the the Constitution guarantees
this right. Does it really? Can you, without
reservation, say that the framers of the Con-
stitution would
.
have agreed with you? Of
course they wouldn't have. As is too often
the case, members of the media, as well as
other organizations, stretch the Constitution
to exceedingly appropriate degrees, in order
to cover themselves and their actions.
Mr. O'Farrell, you too are in the public
eye, as all reporters are. Since you are a
public
_
figure it is conceivable that someone
may wish to interview you. I ask you, will
you allow them to interview you in the
shower? No
I
didn't think so.
As to your inept statement about the
players wearing bath robes, well, it does not
even deserve a response. After all, why
should they have to go through the extra
trouble just so a reporter
can
interview them
in a locker room? The clincher, however, is
your.statement,
"I
just don't see the point
that the boys -
oops,
I
mean men -
are
trying to make."
_If
this is the case, you
should have refrained from writing this col-
umn. Isn't it the responsibility of the media
to present both sides of the issue? In order
to enlighten you, however,
I
will try to make
their point eminently clear.
The athletes want privacy! They do not
want reporters walking around the locker
room while they are undressing and/or
showering.
I
would venture to say that both
female and male athletes want the same
respect. That is probably the key to this
whole issue - respect. Why do media figures
feel they do not have to respect the privacy
of -public figures? Privacy is guaranteed
under the Constitution, unlike a reporters
claim to
.
have the right to enter
a
locker
room. Isn't
it
about time we realized this?
Hey ladies and gentlemen, get out of the
locker room! Leave the athletes alone.

President Bush made the correct call last
week refusing to sign emergency legislation
to maintain the government spending levels
after Congress again failed to pass a
workable budget. While his action created
short term problems it may actually solve
some broader issues.
The Gramm-Rudman deficit reduction
law, which likely would have been enacted
if Bush had signed the stopgap measure, re-
quires federally financed agencies to cut
spending by up to one-third. President Bush
effectively saved many programs by essen-
tially closing the government over the holi-
day weekend.
·
He anticipated a budget agreement could
be reached sometime this week.
Whether it is or not, many social programs
may still face budget cuts, but the president
kept options open for congressional leaders
who now have some extra time to make the
tough decisions of which programs to fund
and at how much.
Viewbook gets support
The fiscal year ended October
1,
meaning
the government technically does not have
money appropriated to fund government
activities.
Editor:
I
would like to respond to Janet
DeSimone's viewpoint in the October
4
issue
about the new Marist viewbook.
It seems to me that
Miss
DeSimone's ideal
viewbook would
be
filled with pictures of
homesick crying girls, angry crowds, "F"
papers and rainy days, along with such
slogans such as "Marist take it or leave it."
Or
perhaps "Marist- better than nothing."
A viewbook
is supposed to initially catch
the eye of an applicant with a favorable view
of the school. After this an applicant looks
over the school's campus, courses, etc .. to
make a decision. Everyone knows that every
college includes some problems. The food
isn't like Mom's, there are cold showers now
and then and there's a lot of hard work in-
volved. Obviously no one sees a viewbook
as real college life.
Miss DeSimone's ideas on the subliminal
"M" for money in the book are ridiculous
and if she knows a college that doesn't
charge
tuition
I'd
like her to get in touch with
me!
If she isn't happy with the way the school's
computer system is run, then she should buy
her own computer as
is
the case in most
colleges.
Finally, I am glad to see Miss DeSimone
is a senior. Thank God she will
be
escaping
the "tortures" of Marist soon.
This is nothing new.
It
happens often
enough and usually quick-fix legislation is
passed to keep federal programs afloat un-
til
the actual budget is passed.
Budget formulation is inherently a no-win
situation. It's impossible to give everything
to everybody but somebody has to get
something.
Two weeks ago a detailed budget com-
promise was reached by executive and c~m-
gressional negotiators which laid out ~pect~c
tax increases and benefits cuts. Hikes m
Medicare premiums and certain provisional
tax increases effecting primarily low and
middle- income Americans however, have
turned lawmakers off to the compromise
budget - possibly "ith an eye to November
.,.,,. beth
Bell"
elections.
c.1iza

Campaign
politics aside, the president has
freshman ·
merely done his job by prodding Congress
to do its jo\> .
.
Two weeks into the new fiscal
year without a budget, Congress simply is
not getting their work done.
Although essential government services
will continue, (like supplying our troops in
Saudi Arabia) others will be temporarily
stopped while Congress decides who gets
what.
Those who blame the president lose
sight
of Constitutional reality. Article
I,
sections
seven and eight speak directly to Congres-
sional responsibility for budget formulation.
Certainly presidents have come to play an
integral part in the process but Congress re-
mains the final arbiter.
The House rejected the $500 million dollar
budget proposal last
week
and it
remains
unclear just how the stalemate will be
broken.
Instead of looking to budget summits bet-
ween Congress and the administration, in-
stead of blaming the president for requiring
Congress to do the dirty work of passing a
budget, we should each demand our Con-
gressmen to the job for which they were
elected.
Tell your Congressmen to find a budget
compromise and pass it.
BY THE WAY- . . . Speaking of money,
it's unfortunate Marist College had to charge
alumni
$5
to attend Saturdays Homecoming
football game.
Granted, gate receipts are necessary to
help defray costs of the event, but, more than
~ne alumnus
was
heard
grumbling about
having to pay to see the alma mater play the
most significant game in the schools history.
Alumni (and alumnae) should be the last
people Marist officials want to upset.
Alumnae (and alumni) are the ones the
college targets for its annual Marist Fund
drive. When they come to campus and get
nickel-and-dimed for things they used to at-
tend for free as students, they are less likely
to open the 'ol wallet when thecoJlegecomes
calling.
Many who attend the weekend festivities
are recent graduates who are likely still pay-
ing off college loans. Others are doing that
family thing and it can get expensive to take
the wife (or husband) and kids out to the
stadium. (uh, field)
In light of recent student efforts to foster
student support for athletics, it seems charg•
ing former students SS to attend the game
is counter-productive_

The Red Flash had another easy
time scoring on their next posses-
sion. After a botched punt attempt,
Marist surrendered the ball on its
own two yard line.
Palumbo only needed one play
to scamper in the endzone. With
virtually an entire fourth quarter
left to play, the game was now
22-13, Marist.
The defense rose to the occasion
when
it
sacked Buchsen three
straight times on the next St. Fran-
cis set of downs.
Despite the win, Marist did have
some problems -
11 penalties. "l
am disappointed with the
penalties," said head coach Rick
Pardy. "However, I am proud of
the win. We made the plays when
we had to and that is the sign of a
good football team.
O'Donnell said he feels that the
offense has yet to have its best
game. "We moved the ball well,
but we hurt ourselves at certain key
points," he said. "We made some
major mistakes, but that will turn
around. We are a 4-1 team, this is
where we should be."
O'Donnell threw for 243 yards
and two touchdowns on the day.
Of those 243 yards, 160 were to
DelPrete who tied a school record
with nine receptions.

Although his college education began with summer

"I didn't like LeMoyne because it reminded me of a
jail, the way the buildings were set up," Champion said.
"Marist has a nice campus, the river, and (it) is strong
in the computer field."
This semester Champion is taking four courses and
plans to take five courses next semester. His workload
is light this semester to ensure a smooth transition to

Champion said he wants to do well this semester so
that he can help other students as a tutor in the future.

.
Coming off two difficult races
this past weekend,-the Marist cross
country teams are anticipating im-
provement as the season begins to
wind down.
·
The women, under the direction
of first-year coach Kim Morison,
placed eighth in th~ IO-team field
at the LeMoyne Invitational.
Sarah Sheehan was the first
Marist runner to complete the
course. Sheehan
·
finished the race
in a time of 22 minutes, nine
seconds.
.
Sophomore Jen VonSuskil was
the next Red Fox runner across the
line:·
Slie finished the
race
in 22:32.
Noel Feehan, also a sophomore,
ran a time of 22:44.
Next to finish for Marist was
Theresa Lawless with
a
time of
25:51.
Carla Angelini and Amie
Dunning also ran for the Red
Fo~es.
Morison was without junior
Megan Bell, one of her top
runners.
"Megan missed the race with an
injury," she said. "She will not
race until she receives medical
clearance."
September 26, the Red Foxes
placed second in the Vassar College
Cross Country meet. Marist finish-
ed one point behind Vassar.
"It was a real close race,"
Morison said. "The girls did a nice
job."
Saturday, the women
will
be
rac-
ing against Hofstra.
"I'm looking for everyone to
im-
prove," said Morison. "This is our
last meet before the
.
conference
meet and we want to do well in
that. That has been one of our
goals."
Also on Saturday, the men's
team competed in
·
the Paul Short
Invitational at LeHigh University
in Pennsylvania.
Finishing first for the Red Foxes
was freshman Dave Swift. Swift
finished the course in 37 minutes
and three seconds. Junior Jason
Vianese was the next Marist runner
to cross the line with a time of
37:15.
Matt Murphy, also a junior,
ran the race in 38:40.
Also running for the Red Foxes
was Marty Feeney, Des Kenneally
and Fred vonBargen.
Vianese said that some of the
times were unusually high because

Booters spring back;
start new win streak
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports

After losing five straight games,
the Marist soccer team has re-
bounded to form its own two game
win streak.
Monday, the Red Foxes down-
ed Pace University
2-0.
"We had
control of the game," said head
coach Dr. Howard Goldman.
"Our passing game is starting to
click and we had more close shots
on e.oal."
Marist jumped out to a
1-0
lead
at the 5:40 mark of the first half on
a goal by sophomore Bob Angrilla.
It
was Angrilla's second goal in as
many games. "He is playing well
right now," Goldman said. "He
has given us some good offensive
opportunities."
Goldman said the Red Foxes
played most of the second half on
the Pace side of the field. "We
played solid, we kept pressure on
them for the entire game, not just
the second half," said Goldman.
Sophomore George Brown
scored an insurance goal at 38:47
of the second half. Morgan Bon-
don got the assist.
Goldman praised the effort of
Mike Kelly who has been bothered
by injuries all year. "He is a very
consistent and intelligent player
who gives us a solid effort every
time he is on the field," he said.
Freshmen Brian Rose and John
Mazzella are also playing strong,
.
said Goldman. "We are starting
five freshmen and they are starting
to come around real well, they are
gaining the experience they need."
On Saturday, the Red Foxes
started their winning streak off
with a 3-0 victory
over
conference
rival St. Francis (PA).
Marist scored all three goals in
the first half with Angrilla scoring
at the 9:32 mark with an assist
from Mazzella.
Bondon made it
2-0
at the
12: 13
mark when he scored on an assist
from Angril\a,
Rose, on an assist from Lou
Schmidt, closed out the scoring at
21
:59
of the first half.
Goldman credits the sudden
change to
a
shift of positions. "We
are keeping the same players on the
field," he
said. "However,
they are
in different places and that has
allowed us to become more effec-
tive on offense and def.:nse. The
guys are more comfortable with it,
they believe in it. Everyone is help-
ing each other and becoming more
active."
Defensively, Goldman is happy
with the past three games. "Even
though we lost to Iona (l-0), we
have been more stingy," he said.
"Ryan
(goaltender Ryan Smith) is
playing well in goal and the entire
defense has become consistent. We
are doing good things as a team
right now."
-"With
the string of bad luck we
had,
I
am real pleased with the ef-
fort the players have made," said
Goldman. "They could have given
un
hut they didn't."
- r
Marist now stands at 4-7 overall
while sporting a 1-4 mark in the
Northeast Conference.

Central Connecticut State Univer-
sity were not available ._at press

The Marist football team earn-
·
ed a piece of history last Saturday
when it increased its winning streak
to four games by defeating St.
Francis (PA) 22-13 in a pivotal
Atlantic Collegiate Football Con-
ference matchup.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary
of Marist College football, Satur-
day marked the first time in the
school's 12 year history of Division
III football that a team has won
four straight games

possession of first place in the
ACFC.
This Saturday, Marist travels to
New London, Conn., to take on
the United States Coast Guard

Crew fares well over weekend
Volleyball splits:
now
9-6
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports
Editor
.
The Marist crew team continued
its fall success winning the New
York State men's eights in the first
annual Challenge of the Hudson
Regatta held in Peekskill on
Saturday.
. The crew of Bob Hunt, Owen
McGovern, Mike Mccaffery, Jay
Jutkofsky, Chip Mead
,
Jason Big-
ger, Mike Longo, Jay Murray and
coxswain Kelly Kolesnik completed
the three-mile
course in
15
minutes
and 50.83 seconds.
Head coach Larry Davis said he
was very happy with the team's
performance.
"I
am very pleased
with the effort," he said. "Not on
-
ly the fact that we won, but the
time indicated that we are making
very good progress and are getting
·
to where we want to be."
Kolesnik said
.
the
.
boat was
strong throughout the race.
"It
felt
good, we rowed really well," she
said. "It's great to win a big race
like this, especially when you come
from the area."
Murray said he was happy with
the performance.
"It
was a really
tough race," he said. "We were
real excited for this race, it was
definitely a big win for us
.
This has
been one of our best starts in the
fall
.
"
Marist was originally scheduled
to compete in two other races; the
New York State men's and
women's fours, but regatta of-
ficials cancelled the races due to
rough waters on the Hudson
.
Davis said the river was calm un-
til around 2 p
.
m. and as it turned
out, it settled down later
.
"It
is
·
a definite disappoint-
ment," he said.
"I
think the fours
would have been able to place also,
or maybe even come away with
another victory. However, the wind
kicked up and a couple boats were
swamped so the decision was made.
As it turned out, the river calmed
·
down but the officials have no way
of knowing that
.
"
Despite the ca,ncellation of the
afternoon races, Davis was pleas-
.
ed with the regatta and said
·
he
would definiteiy return.
"It was a quality regatta," he
said. "The competition was great,
and it was run quite well. We
would have no problem going back
next year even if we didn't win."
Sunday, Marist had one boat
compete in the Head of Connec
-
ticut Regatta in Middletown, Ct.
The
team of Hunt, Longo, Mur-
ray,- John Garrity and coxswain
Steve Somma competed in the
men
'
s four event.
Davis said the team finished the
race in fifteenth place.
"The guys felt they rowed a nice
race," he said. "Three of them had
·
rowed the day before and they were
real tired. However, they wanted to
go to the Connecticut and they did
a
good job considering."
The Challenge was sponsored by
Scenic Hudson Inc., a Poughkeep-
sie based environmental group
specia:lizing in presering the Hud-
son River Valley.

The race attracted over 30 col-
leges and 30 clubs from around the

New appreciation grows out
of
a
'Challenge'
I guess I never really understood
crew.
Prior to Saturday, I not only
questioned the sport of crew, but
I questioned the people that took
part in it.
I could never really comprehend
the point of the sport. Why anyone
would want to row a boat com-
petitively was beyond me. What
was the point? To me, there
couldn't be any excitement involv-
ed. Excitement not only foi: the
spectators, but also for the
participants.
I never really knew why people
would want to be on the crew team.
What is the po
i
nt?
I like to sleep. I could never get
involved in an activity that started
practice at 6 a.m. Now, when I
played high school football, we
sometimes had practice at 7 a.m.,
but at
6
a.m
.
, no way
.
It was just hard for me to com-
prehend that someone would rather
row a boat than stay in
bed.
Then there is the race itself
.
It
can be somewhat confusing. The
terms lightweight, heavyweight,
coxswain and others had no real ef-
fect
on me.
A crew race is quick. Some
peo-
ple ,zet in a
boat, row the course
and go home. That's it. I couldn't
understand why people would want
to do this,
I
was
really confused.
There are certain thrills involv-
ed with sports.
In baseball, there is the thrill of
throwing
a:
no-hitter or hitting a
homerun
.
Basketball players get a
thrill from
a
slam dunk or drain-
ing· a three pointer. In football,
there is the thrill of a quarterback
sack or a last second touchdown
pass. Golfers experience the thrill
of blasting out of the sand or of
draining a 20 foot putt.
I never understood the thrill of
crew.
Saturday, my views changed.
Reluctantly -
very reluctantly
-
I went to my first crew race.
The first annual Challenge of the
Hudso
·
n regatta was held in
Peekskill and I attended
.
I'm not
quite sur-: why
I
went, because I
had to get up at 6:30 a.m. (I think
I
went because
I
had a press pass
and didn't have to pay the $5 ad-
mission fee.)
As
I
waited for the races
to
begin, I began to think about re-
quirements of other sports. These
are requirements that make an
athlete successful.
Thursday
Morning
Quarterback
MIKE O'FARRELL
A football player requires both
strength and finesse. Basketball
players, on the other hand, require
agility and quickness. Baseball
players require
speed
and power.
Golfers require repetition
and deep
concentration.
When the races began, and
I saw
the boats pass me, one by one, I
began
to realize that crew encom
-
passes all the requirements listed
above.
I
discovered the beauty of crew
.
Whether or not it was a singles
race or an eight man race, I slowly
began
to
appreciate something that
I never before found to my liking
.
While I was there,
I
oniy
saw
singles races and eight man races
.
There was something special about
the races, yet each one had its own
identity.
The singles were extrordinary.
Although the literal opponent was
the
·
clock, the real opponent was
the Hudson.
One man, one goal, one river.
There was a will to win. Each
man was alone trying to defeat
nature. There was no one to help.
There is no turning back.
From shore, one could sense the
concentration and determination it
took for the competitors to
succeed.
·
The success
in
this race is not a
medal. It is pride. Self pride.
Knowing that you have conquered
nature alone is what matters.
If
lucky enough to beat
the
clock, the
medal symbolizes the struggle
against the Hudson.
Watching the eight man races
was like watching a fine-tuned
machine
.
Strength, finesse, power,
con-
centration, repetition and unity.
Looking out at the race, each
boat became one. It seemed as
though
I
was watching one man,
not eight
.
The coxswain of the boat has
one goal -
make eight men (or
women) function as one unit in
perpetual motion.
There is more pressure in an
eight person race than in a singles
race. There is pressure on each
rower
to
come together with the
rest of the boat
.
One person can
throw off the performance of the
entire boat.
Seeing a finely tuned crew in ac-
.
tion is pure beauty. The crew
becomes one with the boat.
After
seeing some of the best
crews in the country last Saturday,
I
can
now say that I appreciate the
spon and the athletes
.
There is in-
tense dedication and preparation
that goes into a race.
Crew
may not be the most
glamorous sports in this world, but
it should be one of the most ap-
preciated.
It
is more than just row-
ing a boat, it is a challenge to
become one on the river, to defeat
not only the opponent, but to
defeat nature
.
I guess I never really understood
crew.
