STDs on_ the rise at Marist
Sexually-transmitted
dis-ease poses ·new
dangers for students
by
STACEY MCDONNELL
Managing Editor
Marist students who are sexuals
ly active now face an even more
severe sexually transmitted disease
than Herpes Simplex 2.
The Human Papilloma Virus
(HPV), which affects nearly two
million people nationwide, is a
form of genital warts that can lead
directly to cancer, said Dr. Robert
Stern, M.D., of Vassar Brothers
Hospital.
The number of sexually
transmitted diseases of all types has
grown steadily over the past five
years, said Jane O'Brien, director
of Health Services.
"In the fall of 1985, it was pret-
ty unusual to have someone
diagnosed with an STD,t' she said.
"Now we_are identifying about one
case a week."
And some Marist females have
been diagnosed as specifically hav-
ing
HVP,
said O'Brien. She could
not comment on the exact number
or severity of the cases.
The more severe strains of the
disease could lead to cancer within
one to 10 years after contraction.
The survival time of persons with
this cancer is five years, Stern said.
According to O'Brien, the
disease has no warning symptoms,
- and while there are a variety of
methods to destroy the warts, the
warts and cancer can reappear.
HPV
leads to cancer in one or -
more of all the sexual and
reproductive organs in woman !!J}d
in the partner's penis and testes,
Stem said.
Because the woman's partner(s)
is/are also at risk, the man must be
examined O'Brien said.
Marist offers gynecological care
for women Monday evenings.
Their partners are referred to St.
Francis Hospital if the risk of
venereal disease is present.
An increasing number of men
are being treated for the HPV and
other STDs by gynecologists, Stern
said.
Peter Amato, associate dean of
Student Affairs, said extending
gynecological care to men is an op-
tion the college could consider.
But while the gynecologist at
Marist is identifying so many cases,
O'Brien said the college is not uni-
que in the number of patients be-
ing treated for them.
"Marist is not the center for
STDs," she said. "All colleges
throughout the country have seen
a rise in the number of cases."
Stem said the Human Papilloma
Virus is the leading venereal disease
in the Hudson Valley, and 10 to 30
percent of all sexually active
women are at risk of contracting it.
Although it is the most serious
venereal disease, it has only been
detecte~ within the last. IO-years,
Stem said.
Newly refined pap smears, which
are used to detect cervical cancer in
females, are the only method of ·
detection of the disease in women,
said Stern. And these tests miss the
disease 15 percent of the time, he
said.
"One year a sexually active
woman will have a normal pap
smear," he said. "The next, she
could be in the advance stages of
HPV -
that's how rapidly it
spreads and affects a person." .
O'Brien said sometimes the
warts will be visible on the male,
but they have also been found in
the folds of the penis or under the
skin.
The most effective form of
prevention is abstention; said
Stem. Condoms will provide some
protection, but they are not full-
proof, he said.
Both Amato and O'Brien said
condoms would probably not be
made available on campus.
"$_pme say putting condoms on
campus would act as a statement to
practice safe sex," Amato said.
"But people have to learn to be
responsible for 'all their actions -
their sexual actions included."

Cigarette thrown from window
causes small brush fire
by
MATTHEW WARD
Staff Writer
A small leaf fire outside Cham-
pagnat Hall early Saturday morn-
ing evacuated the building and
caused smoke damage to the game
room in the basement, according to
the Office of Safety and Security.
The smoke from the fire on the
southeast side of the building blew
into the windows and set off the
alarms at 4:25 a.m., but no one
was
injured, security said.
The fire was put out by two
security officers with fire ex-
tinguishers, according to Joseph
Leary,
director of safety and
security. The nine-story building
was evacuated at that time and
students were not allowed back in-
to their rooms until 6 a.in.
The only damage to the building
occured in the game room where
some windows were broken
fighting the fire. Two video games
are out of use because of possible
smoke damage, security said.
The cause of the fire remains
under in,;estigation but it is
suspected that a lit cigarette was
thrown out of a window, igniting
the leaves, security said.
Decking their Halls
Survey says
academics win,
library loses
by
DAN HULL
News Editor
Students
praised
Marist
academics and their fellow
classmates for the second straight
year in an annual survey conducted
during registration last semester.
Meanwhile, the registration process
and the library again received the
worst ratings.
The results of the 85-question
survey were released last week, and
varied little from last year as ex-
pectecl, according to Mark
Sullivan, executive vice president.
The 1,576 students responding to
the survey gave a more positive
than .negative rating in all but five
of the 85 categories. The categories
included 19 areas of student life
such as the bookstore, housing, in-
ternships, student services and
security to name a few.
The survey, started in 1989, is a
mandatory part of the spring
registration process.
Students rated each item by in-
dicating
they were
"satisfied,"
"very satisfied," "dissatisfied" or
· "very dissatisfied." A "not ap-
plicable" response was also
included.

Crisis is just 169 miles away
for freshman's parents, friends
by
CINDY DONALDSON
Staff Writer
"Marhaba."
This is how freshman Kim Kunkle would say hello
if she _was home in Saudi Arabia.
And while the Arabian Peninsula is currently a land
bristling with the weapons of war as a result of the
Kuwaiti crisis, to Kunkle it is a land where people want
to sustain peace.
"It didn't used to be a friendly place, but it is get-
ting better," said Kunkle, an 18-year-old fashion
design major. "The land is very peaceful and they'll
do anything to try to avoid war."
In Leo Hall, her home away from home, Kunkle
spoke with concern about the events in Saudi Arabia.
American troops are stationed near the compound in
which she lives.
Kunkle will be going to Saudi Arabia for her winter
break.
-
"It's pretty nerve racking," said Kunkle. "My
parents are going to stay there and that worries me.
It's close to home now. My father wants to get me
out before January 15 -
before the war breaks out."
January 15 is the deadline the United Nations set
for Saddam Hussein to withdraw his troops from
Kuwait, before military force would be used.
,
The compound, which
is
169 miles from the Kuwaiti
border, houses Americans who work for ARAMCO,
Arabian American Oil Company.
But fear is not why she chose to leave Saudi Arabia
and continue her education at Marist, she said.
Kunkle had to leave Dhahran, which had been her
home since she
was
8,
because
education for foreigners
living there only lasts until ninth grade.
Kunkle, who was born in Lacrosse, Wis., attend-
ed a boarding school in Indiana. After graduation she
began making plans for the future.
With the help of her father, Kunkle found Marist.
She said she felt the college offered her a variety of
academic programs and extra-curricular activities that
attracted her interest. Such interests include
psychology, pre-law and horse back riding.
Kunkle said Saudi Arabia is a place with limited
freedoms for women. She said she does not want to
live in a place where women are not allowed to drive,
eat in certain restaurants or even eat in the same room
as the men.
"Women basically have no rights," said Kunkle,
who said she would like to settle in Europe after
graduation, rather than Saudi Arabia.
Inside the compound, there aren't any malls, bars
or clubs. In Saudi Arabia, alcohol is as illegal
as
drugs
are in the United States.
But here, Kunkle has the choice to go to these
places, when she's not busy with her classes or the
debate team.
She said she is allowed to drive within the com-
pound, which she said is a little smaller than
Poughkeepsie, but cannot drive outside its borders.
Kunkle said even though women have many restric-
tions, they also are well protected. Men assume all
responsibility for their women's actions.
If
a women commits a crime, her father or husband
must face the consequences, she said. That could mean
losing a right hand for stealing or being beheaded for
committing murder, said Kunkle.
Beheadings are common in Dammam, which is
about an hour from Dhahran. They are held every Fri-
day in the town square.
According to Kunkle, the crime rate is low where
she Jives because there is an abundance of money.

Increase in_ law- enforcement
won't stop plague of urban cri,:n,e
MCTV to dive into soaps:
'Hudson Heights' set for spring
by
AMY ANSON
Staff
Writer
Charles Dyson Center, and other
buildings will give the soap a
realistic setting and keep produc-
tion costs down.
by
LISA DAWSON
Staff Writer
More law enforcement of-
ficers cannot solve society's pro-
blems alone, said a New York
City district attorney lecturing
on urban crime last Tuesday.
"We are all too fast becom-
ing a society under siege," said
Charles J. Hynes, Kings Coun-
ty District Attorney who served
as . state prosecutor for the
Howard Beach trial and most
recently the Bensonhurst trials.
Although Hynes said that in
1989, 70'of all New
.
York City
crime
.was
drug related, moi:e
law enforcement does not
necessarily mean
·:
more public
safety.
· ·
" '
·
Hynes blamed the "backed ·
up'• criminal justice:sys°thn
and
'.
not giving priority to criminals
and drug dealers for
society's
crime problems.
Hynes, who last spoke at
Marist in 1988 about racial and
religious polarization, stated
that Brooklyn is the nation's
most violent municipality and
said the crime rate has risen
dramatically in that borough.
Hynes has lived and raised a
family in Brooklyn for 15 years
and he said within the last five
years
.
his home has been
burglarized
.
four times, his
daughter had a chain ripped off
her neck and two of his other
children
were
violently
assaulted.
"My youngest
·
daughter
won't even take public transpor-
tation; she takes a car service,"
he said.
In order to deal with the
public safety crisis in Brooklyn,
three areas must be focused on,
:
he said: the level of violence, a
rational strategy to reduce drug-
related violent crimes and bias-
related hate crimes.
A major offense bureau has
already been established
in
-
Brooklyn where no plea
bargains are granted and stiff
jail sentences are given, he said.
Hynes also said in order to
decrease the number of repeat

offenders a drug diversion pro-
gram was started in October
and it aims to divert one-
hundred drug offenders from
the criminal justice program by
April
I,
1991.
.
The program includes an ear-
ly stage of incarceration with
random drug testing, residential
_
_ .
.
drug treatment and job and
housing placement.
_
Hynes talked about another
step in fighting crime and drugs
which involved educating young
children. Presently a program
caHed "Project Legal Lives" is
taking place in 61 Brooklyn
schools.
The project teams Assistant
District Attorneys or other staff
members with fifth-grade
teachers for ten hours a month
to teach children about "laws,
rules, the criminal justice system
and its relationship to the com-
munity," he said.
"If
the children who are in
schooL today
.
could be taught
that those of us who live in our
city must learn to live in peace
with respect, there'll be no more
incidents of beatings based on
religious hatred or murders fuel-
ed by racism or gay-bashing by
people who hate those who have
a different lifestyle," said
Hynes.
A touch of intrigue, scandal, and
mystery will hit campus when
"Hudson Heights," a soap opera
written, produced and starring
Marist students, comes to MCTV
next semester.
The show will premiere in
February and six shows will appear
on a bi-weekly basis throughout the
semester.
"Hudson Heights"
is
geared
toward Marist students and
features a cast of 17 students of
various personalities -
including
a share of jocks, fraternity
brothers,
a
character with a dark
,
secret, and the kind of people
you'll love to hate.
According to Dawn Matte, chief
writer, the show is based on real life
experiences including issues like
suicide, homosexuality, pregnancy
an~
_
possibly abortion
.
Matte,
a
junior communication
arts major, said the soap opera will
reveal "good people going down
the wrong paths."
The purpose of the show is to of-
fer Marist students a program with
storylines and people with whom
they can relate
.
'.'It's about growing relation-
ships, and characters growing as
people, not only as students," said
Russ Caputo, director of "Hudson
Heights."
"It's everything you'd expect
from college life and some off the
wall stuff
,
" said Matt Corcoran,
the show's producer and MCTV
club president.
The premiere episode, a 68-page
script written by Matte, will debut
in February and Caputo, Corcoran
and Matte say they are optimistic
about "Hudson Height's" future.
"We wouldn't have gotten this
far if it wasn't going to work," said
Corcoran.
He said getting "Hudson
Heights" off the ground was
difficult.
"This wasn't easy to start," he
said. "It's taken a lot of work, and
finding dedicated people was the
hardest part."
Corcoran, Caputo and Matte
have already put a lot of work in-
to publicizing casting calls and wat
-
ching many hours of videotaped
auditions to select the 35 to
40
students who hoped to slar in one
of 17 roles.
The success of "Hudson
Heights"
will
represenr a triumph
for MCTV, according
10
the
show's creators.
It
would increase
the club membership and lead to
the creation of more MCTV pro-
ductions, like a game
show
and a
comedy show, Corcoran said.
Matte said she feels ii would also
benefit MCTV's reputation.
''It
would show the
administra-
tion we are serious about what we
want to do," she said.
"Hudson Heights" will also be
one of the first MCTV projects to
be financed by local businesses,
and Corcoran said he hopes to get
support from Marist hang-outs like
Bertie's and Skinner's
.
"Hudson Heights'.'

spirit,students give to community
by
KEVIN SCATIGNO
&
SCOTT DALY
Staff Writers
Students and other members of
the Marist community gathered
Sunday night at the Seat of
Wisdom Chapel to bring the Giv-
ing Tree project to an end.
.
·
The Giving Tree, a community
service project designed to help
local needy families this holiday
season, brought 300 people to the
tree-lighting ceremony and presen-
tation of gifts at the Chapel.
The project involved five
separate trees located
.
in three
classroom buildings, the Chapel
and the Campus Center. The trees
were decorated with paper or-
naments that participants chose
from the tree.
The participants bought the
items listed on the ornaments,
wrapped them and presented them
at the ceremony. The presents were
then distributed to I
5 local
families.
"We were really pleased with the
response of the students," said Jen
Smith, a member of the Giving
Tree Committee "We got more
than we asked for."
"This
was
the spirit of Christmas
and Marist at its best," said Presi-
dent Dennis
J.
Murray.
"The credit
goes to the students not only for
the
idea but for making it happen."
Sister Eileen Halloran, director
of campus ministry, said she
thought the students showed great
caring and generosity in the
project.
"This is absolutely amazing,"
said Student Body President Kevin
Desmond. "It is an overall display
ot spirit that has not been seen at
Marist in
a
long time, if ever."
-·
"The ornaments said to get a
pair of pants~ and the students
would get a shirt to match," said
Smith. "The students
·
would be
walking in
a
store and see a teddy
bear and say they had to get that,
too. Three students even bought a
crib."
·
Matt Thomson,
-
student body
vice president and organizer of the
Giving Tree project,
said
more than
500
people participated in the pro-
ject
.
His original goal was 250.
Thomson
said
the large response
was a result of widespread campus
publicity and months of plar.ning
by organizers.
He said he was pleasantly sur-
prised with the response. "People
really got into the event," he said.
"I
a111
.
confident that we
\\ill
get
-
.
about 75 to 80 percent comeback
(items actually collected)."
Deborah Dicaprio, assistant
dean for .student affairs, said this
was an idea everyone bought into
and .supported. She also said she
would like to
see
the Giving Tree
become a tradition at Marist.
But while the number of gift~
was
not known at press time, about
250
-
300
people were
in attendence
at the ceremony on Sunday.
Dicaprio said there were three
categories of gifts. The first gifts
were need gifts like clothes, these-
cond gifts were toys and the third
wrer filler gifts like blankets and
food. -
To some students, the
Giving
Tree holds special meanings.
Thomas Kalament, a senior from
Amsterdam
N.Y.,
said:
"Even
.
though I was able to get
almost
·
whatever
I wanted when
I
was
young,
I
know what it
is like to
want, and not get something.
By
giving to needy families, it helps
give them the happiness that
I
receive, and it gives me a warm
feeling inside to know that I am
helping someone out."

Marist's new business fraternity
sets pledge class record
·
Investigating hotspot
by
VICTORIA PEPE
Staff Writer
A new Marist fraternity set a
record this semester with what may
be the largest pledge class in its
history.
Alpha Kappa Psi, Marist's first
business fraternity, was initiated
due to the efforts of seniors Stan
Phelps and Rich Pastor in early
September, attracting the pledge
class of nearly 94 students.
The new fraternity is now
generating a membership of 74
students.

The officers of Alpha Kappa Psi
were not chosen, they just emerg-
ed, Sherman said. It was those who
got involved who took charge, he
said.
Founded in 1904 at New York
University, Alpha Kappa Psi was
the first co-educational profes-
sional business fraternity.
Membership to Alpha Kappa Psi
comes in three forms; student,
faculty and honorary. Some of the
more famous members include
Ronald Reagan and Richard
Nixon.
The fraternity was allocated a
$350
budget from Marist this year,
while the remainder of its funding

the fraternity, pledges had to pass
a national examination, and pay a
membership fee of $25, in addition
to a $10 pledge fee.
Membership to the fraternity is
restricted to business majors with
a grade point average of at least
2.0.
Chapters of Alpha Kappa Psi
conduct service projects each year
for their schools and local
community.
This year, members of the frater-
nity each donated one dollar and
bought a Thanksgiving meal for a
needy family in Poughkeepsie.
"We thought we needed to do
something for the community and
figured what better time than dur-

from Smithtown, N.Y.

As Lieutenant Rich sped in-
to the parking lot, we noticed
our first signs of being in the
Guido Region.
Camaros, Firebirds, Trans-
Ams and Irocs filled the park-
ing lot. The crew laughed as we
realized what we were getting
ourselves into.
Lieutenant Stan passed out
our primary reason for explor-
ing the Guido Region -
three
free passes to a trip through the
past.
As we would discover later,
there's something about "free
stuff" that makes people do
things out of the ordinary and
sometimes behave in a barbaric
nature
.
We entered the unknown
and, after what seemed like an
investigation of the validity of
our passes, made our way to the
bar.
We walked straight and con-
fidently, which is ever-so-
necessary when entering into an
unfamiliar area. Lieutenant
Stan bought the first round, and
to our good fortune, beers were
only a dollar all night.
I belted out a direct order that
we would be staying for a while.
My crew attracted stares from
those around m. I was so used
to screaming in order to carry
on a conversation that I hadn't
noticed that the music was at
just the right volume.
It was then that we realized
we were the only ones under the
age of 25 in the place.
The room was decorated in a
"Christmas meets American

streamers
with Christmas lichts
spanned the ceiling, fake s~ow

and neon stars blinked the night

She was right.
Our jaws free fell to the floor
as a Spandex sweetheart swung
herself around the dance floor.
We all wanted to beam her up.
My crew and I simply stood
around and enjoyed the music
(and the view, nudge-nudge
wink-wink) until the band took
a break. That's when the enter-
tainment started.
The emcee had plenty of gifts
to give away to anyone who
could answer simple Beatles
trivia, or to anyone who need-
ed to be shut up by being given
a T-shirt.

to say,
"If

pact disc, come and get them."
My lieutenants bolted on
stage in a mad rush for
"free
stuff."
Stan tripped a large man
reaching for a Living Color CD.
Rich further undermined him
by grabbing the Allman
Brothers CD that was just out
of the large man's reach.
It was kind of silly. People
grabbing, diving and wrestling
for free stuff. Not just any free
stuff, the Allman Brothers.
The large man was flustered.
He wanted something for free.
He didn't fall on his face for
nothing. But, in the end, he
had.
I played it cool and didn't
rush. After all, I'm the Captain.
The "free for all," except
large men, excitement soon
faded.
We further entertained
ourselves by playing the Age
Game, in which we guessed the
ages of people gyrating on the
dance floor, and the Look-a-
like Game which involved poin-
ting out people who looked like
famous people.
It's amazing how much fun
you can have making fun of
others, especially when they're
unaware of it.
The stumpy, 46ish-year-old
Aqua Velva man with matching
tweed coat and hat took the
brunt of our secret insults.
We stuck around until the
end for more free stuff. Our
total inventory included four
CD's, two T-shirts and a hat.

for some students, but for
Juniors and seniors in the class
"Marriage and the Family " it is
a reality for one semester.'
Each semester,
Professor
Laurence Sullivan puts class
members into groups of six or
seven people and gives them what
he calls "blueprints
.
"
The blueprints are fictional fami-
ly situations, in which groups
members choose family roles and
experience the positive and negative
aspects of family life.
.
Groul?s. ~ngage in such family-
hke act1V1t1es as creating photo
albums and home videos and hav-
ing family dinners. Some groups
even go to counseling sessions as a
family.
"I think it's more about life in
general. Problems come up and
you have to adjust," said Tom
Kalament, a senior from Amster-
dam, N.Y.
Sullivan said he hopes his
studen~s challenge themselves
about their own life situations and
possibly bring what they learn in-
to their own families.
Sµllivan, who has been teaching
the class since the spring semester
of 1969, said he's concerned that
students who don't know the class
think that it is centered around pro-
blems, when
it
is really centered
around life.
Topics include parenthood, mar-
riage, divorce, infidelity and others
that could be a part of a person's
every
day family life, according to
·
Sullivan.
Mike Molloy, a senior from Lit-
tle Falls, N.J., said, "Everything
that goes on in the classroom is
confidential because you're like a
family."
Molloy also said that over the
semester students get a sense of
trust from learning to understand
and deal with others in a group as
if
it were their own family.
bne group this semester dealt
with a family situation in which
two divorced adults, both with
children, were dating and faced the
challenge of bringing their families
together, according to Dean
Mastrangelo, a junior from Farm-
ingville, N. Y.
Mastrangelo also said the groups
are allowed to approach their situa-
tions in any way they want. They
report on their activities in a class
presentation at the end of the term.
Aside from understanding their
own family situations, Sullivan said
he wants his students to understand
their spirituality.
"In understanding their own
spirituality it is a challenge to look
at their own religious roots and
reconnect with them if need be,"
said Sullivan.
The course is offered both as a
Religious Studies and a Com-
munication Arts course.
Mastrangelo said religion does
play an important role in the class
because students learn to unders-
tand how values shape people's
decisions in the group!..
"Marriage and the Family" us-
ed to be known as "Christian Mar-
riage," and was a part of a
12-credit theology requirement, ac-
cording to Sullivan ..
.
"Marriage and the Family can be
just another course for a students
credit requirement, or it can serve
as a snapshot of a new realization,
a glimpse at a new understanding
of yourself and others in relation-
ship," said Molloy.
Kalament said he doesn't think
freshmen and sophomores are
ready to take this kind of course.
He said juniors and seniors are
more ready to go out and deal with
relationships such as marriage.
Mastrangelo said the class helps
students learn about themselves
and others, something that is miss-
ing from a lot of classes.
"Even though we got to be
friends in the class, that's not
where it ends," said Mastrangelo.
Sullivan said that there are myths
about the class such as girlfriends
and boyfriends shouldn't take the
class together, but that's not
necessarily true.
Two former students wrote to
Sullivan to inform him they are get-
ting
.
married. And exen if he
doesn't remember them, they will
always remember him and the
things they learned in his "Mar-
riage and the Family" class,
Sullivan said.

African-American studies
is seen
on
the horizon
by
TERRY GAVALETZ
Staff Writer
African-American studies course
offerings are growing, according to
Syed Khatib, associate professor of
communication arts.
"I think this would be a benefit
to the college.
It
would help pro-
vide a broad liberal arts educa-
tion," said Khatib.
Currently, there is no defined
Afro-American Studies program at
Marist, although several courses
offered are related to the subject.
This semester, Marist offers a
course in Black Political and Social
Thought. Adjunct professor Tony
Hart, who teaches the class, said
the makeup of the class has racial
and gender balance.
Leigh Magnolia, a junior from
Mountainside, N.J., said,
"I
took
the course to learn more about
African-American culture and at-
titudes."
Magnolia said the class often had
lively discussions and she will pro-
·
bably be taking more courses in
African-American Studies in the
future.
Next semester a course will be of-
fered on the Black American
Experience.
Khatib, a former chairman of
the Black Studies program at
SUNY New Paltz, said he would
like the specific courses and the
support that already exists to come
together, and not just for the
African-American students.
Marist has offered a few
African-American Studies classes
in the past, but these courses do not
fulfill core requirements, according
to Khatib .
Hart said he also would like to
see an African-American Studies
program at Marist, citing examples
like SUNY New Paltz and other
colleges which have such programs.
Khatib said some colleges require
students to take ethnic diversity
classes.
Mario Simmons, from Queens,
N.Y., said an African-American
Studies Program is Jong overdue,
but having the classes is a
beginning.
Ronette Ricketts, from the
Bronx,
N.Y.,
said the classes help
to educate whites about the way
African-Americans interact, in ad-
dition
to
educating African-
Americans
about
themselves.
Geraldine Mwangi, a
student
from Kenya, agreed: "If more
students would take these classes,
it would open their minds more."
Both Khatib and Hart
said
hav-
ing a racially-balanced class is im-
portant. Khatib said having white
students in the class is not only
desired, but expected.
Hart said he would "encourage
more students to explore the Black
experience in an academic way,"
which is an opportunity for
diversity.
Khatib said he would like to see
a resource center, with information
regarding the African-American
community, available to all
students.
Registration likely to change next spring
New music in Mass

CHRISTOPHER ANDREWS
Staff
Writer
With the Opscan program, students will meet w1th
their advisors and then fill out a form and drop off
their schedule, Hamburger said.
After registration for the spring 1991 semester, some
Marist students and faculty said they are wondering
whether registration will ever go smoothly.
"Classes will then be assigned based on priority o(
majors and the total number of credits a student has,''
she said.
·
Then there will probably be one day of add/drop
where students can get classes that they still need,
Hamburger said.
Through a
process
that once took only one day,
registering for·classes now takes almost two weeks.
Maurice Bibeau, assistant professor of Spanish, said
he is concerned about the amount of time students
spend registering.

"The On-line system provides immediate verifica-

on credits and takes less time. It is also less time in-
tensive."
Creagh said that the students need to be patient until
Opscan can be utilized again because they are going

technological advances.
Tenth anniversary of John Lennon's death
brings private, but little public, remembrances
by
CHRISTINE MARTORANA
Staff

While locally no special
memorial activities are planned, the
memory of John Lennon on the
tenth anniversary of his tragic
death is still held close to the hearts
of many in the Marist community.
John Lennon was assassinated
outside of his home IO years ago
this Saturday. He was shot by a
mentally imbalanced
rap,
Mark
David Chapman, who felt Lennon
had become phony because he
seemed to
be
more concerned with
business than with the ideals he
sang and wrote about.
John Lennon was 40 years old
when he died. He was survived by
his \\ife Yoko Ono, and two sons,
Julian (from a previous marriage)
and Sean.

makes church a blast
by
JOANNE ALFARONE
Staff Writer
The
_
introduction of new popular
music in the Sunday morning Mass
has increased participation, accor-
ding to Father Luke McCann, the
new Marist chaplain.
A new music group plays
popular melodies such as the
B
7
atle's. hit, "All My Loving,"
with lyncs that are adjusted for the
Mass.
Mccann said the purpose of
these changes is to eliminate the
passive spectator audience that has
evolved over the years. "The
minister and the congregation have
gotten separated," he said.
Jeff Schanz, a freshman and the
leader of the new music group, said
he got the idea to use synthesizers
and drums during Mass from his
church group at home.
Schanz, who classifies the new
music group as contemporary, said
that the use of traditional songs has
not been eliminated from the Mass .
"We still play traditional music,
but it has a faster beat with the use
of drums." Schanz said.
Dan Aunkst, a freshman who
sings in the music group, said
Mccann gives them a lot of
freedom and support when they
choose the songs for the Mass.
The students have grown more
aware of the changes in Mass as the
numbers of people in
the
music
·
group have increased
since
the
beginning of the semester. "We are
starting to get more notice from
our peers," Schanz said.
"The music makes it more of a
celebration
,"
said Farrah Mead, a
sophmore from North Haven
Conn.
"It
shows the church i~
moving with the times."
Virginia Perrone, a sophmore
from Lawrence, Mass., said,
"It
attracts more people to Mass and
adds new life to the church."
This awareness is not limited to
Marist students as older members
of the church have also told the
group how they enjoy the new
energy of the Mass, said Schanz.
Mccann said there 39 eucharistic
ministers or lay people and 29
readers that are available to help
during Mass, said McCann.
McCann said he wants to see
even more participation in the
Mass. "By May, I want to hear
everybody s!nging," he said.
Mccann said that drama and
public speaking club members
could use their speaking talents to
add even more energy to the Mass
that would grab the attention of the
congregation.
Mccann said the main goal with
these changes is to encourage peo-
ple to lose their image of the church
as an "authoritarian gig which is
hollow and fake," he said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Athletics creates pride in Marist
Editor:
This letter is in respQnse to "The Bottom
Line" column in the Nov. 15 issue in which
the author chastises
Mike
O'Farrell for his
opinions concerning the Student Booster
Club and by doing so, downgrades that
organization.
The Student Booster Club's goal is to in-
crease the amount of support for Marist Col-
lege athletes in a pro-active manner. By gain-
ing studem-support for our athletes, it may
help to relinquish the overall school "spirit"
that once existed here at Marist.
Basketball and football have been singled
out because they are the sports that con-
sistently draw the biggest
crowds.
Once more
if people start attending these games, they
might start to realize that Marist athletics is
fun, and they will attend other sporting
events.
Let's face it, if people won't go to watch
the football or basketball teams, they pro-
bablv "'ill not be too interested in soccer,
crew· or volleyball.
Saying that Marist athletes compete only
for personal reasons is a statement that I do
not understand. Of course, wanting to suc-
ceed
in a certain sport on
a
personal level is
important, but it is only part of the reason
why an athlete competes.
By partaking and excelling in Marist
athletics, it not only brings about personal
recognition and pride, but also creates a
sense of pride in our school. When an in-
dividual or team does well, such as our foot-
ball squad this year, it makes people feel
g ~ to say that they were
a
part of it.
Whether they are players, fans, ad-
ministrators, or anybody affiliated with the
team does not matter. Supporting our
athletes is good for the school. By tearing
apart Mike O'Farrell's column, Mr. St.
Onge, you are not only putting him down,
but more importantly, those involved with
the Student Booster Club, whose purpose is
purely positive.
Cuomo for
President in '92?
CHRIS SHEA
Thinking
Between
The
Lines
His state is near bankruptcy with an $824
million budget deficit. Everyday he comes to
work he faces a growing mountain of drug
and crime-related violence. His expected
I~dsllde victory in last November's election
turned out.to be much smaller than expected,
revealing a chink in his political armor.
And yet, he still is looked upon by many
as the savior to the Democratic Party and
perhaps the only man who can successfully
put together a campaign that can defeat an
incumbent George Bush.
·
Introducing New Yor_k's own Mario
Cuomo.
Let's forget, if only for a second, about
the sea of financial red ink facing the state,
or the ever-increasing dem~ds of New York
City in front of Cuomo. Sure he's got some
problems, but this guy's
_
also got charisma.
Many political insiders speculate that;bar-
ring a severe economic downturn or un-
popular military actfon in the Middle East,
Cuomo may be the Democratic Party's best
bet to seize the presidency.
Recent gubernatorial losses by democrats
in Massachusetts and California have left the
party looking for somebody who can become
an influential force in national politics.
Cuomo could be the answer.
Conventional wisdom has the democrats
putting forth a traditional northeast liQeral
up
for president (Cuomo) with a southern
middle-of- the-road candidate added for
balance in the vice-president slot. Senators
Al Gore, Lloyd Bentsen or Governors Bill
Clinton and Douglas Wilder may be the
man.
Incidentally, if you're thinking about Jesse
Jackson, the emer,genc_e of

~ilc!ei: as one

of
the nation's leading black politicians makes
Jackson expendable; His unpredictability
and lack of practical experience will prevent
him from making any political inroads.
Besides, this will be the third presidential
election he is involved with. The glitz may
have worn off.
Getting back to Cuomo, the reason he may
be given first crack at the nomination con-
cerns the tendency of democrats to vote by
race. In
1988,
for instance; Jackson carried
blacks, Al Gore carried white southerners,
and Dukakis carried the immigrant voters

ly as the "Ellis Islanders;''
Unquestionably, were .this trend to con-
tinue in 92', Coumo would come out the big
winner. Bush strategists are anticipating this.
·
The big fear on the part of the Republican
party is Cuomo will be a tough "hard times"
candidate to beat. If times are tough dllring
the election, Cuomo will win. Unlike
Dukakis, when Cuomo is attacked he will
fight back.
The ace-in-the-sleeve for Bush and his
team of advisors will probably
be
to point
at the decay of-New
_York
and say "look at
where his (Cuomo's) liberal policies will get
you."
But after years and years of New York's
street-fighting politics, the race for president
may seem like a four-year vacation for
Cuomo. Cuomo entered public service, after
graduating tied for first in law school, not
by going into politics, but by becoming
a
tough Brooklyn litagator. He always has had
the appearance of being a political outsider
looking in evidenced by his underdog victory
for governor back in 1982.
Will Cuomo
be
the next President of the
United States? It may be too early to tell.

Crisis in the Middle East Parallels the Past
by
VINCE TOSCANO
The late Carl Becker once remarked that
history is really "The memory of things said
and done in the past." To Becker the genuine
power of history lay in the fact that, as
memory, it is the filter through which we res-
pond to the events of our lives.
I believe Becker could point to the grow-
ing chorus of discussion in this country,
dramatically accelerated by President Bush's
recent decision to double the number of
forces in Saudi Arabia before year's end, as
confirmation of his point.
From the highest levels of Washington of-
ficialdom to the "grass roots" sentiment
across America the power of the past
remembered is reflected in a single word:
Vietnam.
To be sure, President Bush and his chief
spokesmen have tried to sidestep that word
by enlisting the power of other, countervail-
ing memories. Presidential comments
characterize Saddam as a reincarnation of
Adolph Hitler, calling forth the horrors of
fierce agression and genocide together with
the resolve to avoid the error of
appeasement.
In other speeches we are told by the White
House that the crisis involves the preserva-
tion of a nation's sovereignty and the ef-
ficacy of collective security, the same issues
we faced in 1950 with the invasion of South
Korea.
Such parallels have struck a responsive
chord with many Americans and some of our
allies. Yet no amount of official reassurance
has been altogether able to put the collective ·
memories called forth by that word:
Vietnam.
Lately there have been many powerful
reminders. Once again, The Vietnam
Veterans against the War is actively question-
ing the policies of a presidential administra-
tion. There have been scattered marches in
Cartoon was in poor taste
Editor:
Acknowledging certain First Amendment
considerations that typically justify unfor-
tunate media decisions does not dismiss com-
plementary obligations that go along with
this guarantee.
To say that a bad decision was made in
the printing of your most recent cartoon is
a gross understatement. A bad decision can
be justified, the action needed here is an ex-
planation. Why?
ls is the Jack of sensitivity or the blatant
hostile prejudi~e that offends us most, or is
it the simple naivete that can almost be
forgiven? Probably the most dissapointing
feature of your cartoon is simply the lack of
taste. If support can be given to this attempt
at "satire" it is the belief that there is a
population on campus who would find
humor in the drawing and its sentiment.
It
is our hope that we also have on this
campus a significant group ~ho are equally
outraged and offended by the entire spirit of
the artist's work. If journalistic respect is a
goal you are seeking, cartoons such as this
are a tragically inappropriate methodology.
Good luck in life.

Editor's Note: The editorial staff
apologizes for the cartoon published in the

by its insensitivity. It was a poor decision to
run the cartoon and was one of those unfor-

it
slipped through the
editorial screening process. It is The Circle's
policy not

In disagreement with columnist
Interns are compensated for work
Editor:
I am writing this in reply to Kevin St.
Onge's column, "Why do student interns get
short-changed." I am writing from the
perspective of counselor in the Internship
Department at the Fashion Institute of
Technology, State University of New York,
not as an adjunct instructor at Marist.
I must say that I wholeheartedly disagree
with many of Mr. St. Onges's points about
student interns being an exploited work
force. Why make a distinction between
receiving credits for school work as oppos-
ed to receiving credits for work in the work
place? They are both forms of work and ex-
perience: The student is receiving credit for
both and both are learning experiences. The
only difference is the location in which each
experience takes place.
To say that any school
just
tacks on credits
to a student's record truly undermines the
value of this work-related experience.
If
you
don't have more regard for your college, at
least place more value on your own self
worth. (Not monetary, mind you.)
I do not know anything about Marist's
pass/fail system for its interns, but perhaps
it is time to bite the bullet and give grades,
analysis reports and career research papers
as
is
done in many other schools. Would you
then change your mind about being
compensated?
Mr. St. Onge says that assets (the students,
in this case) have worth and so should be
compensated for that worth. They are! They
receive college credit and without it would
not be able to graduate and have that asset
be worth something in monetary terms when
applying for their first full-time position.
Relax -
you'll get there. Perhaps a reali-
ty check is necessary on the student's pan.
Opportunity actually knocks just every so
often and sometimes we must make com-
promises. In this
case,
it is working for
credit. "Nobody works for free these days" .
is as far from the truth as one can get. We
all do things for free. We put out that extra
effort in order to achieve our goals.
If
students want to make a case
fOT
get-
ting paid internships they should take the
tack that business today doesn't fully unders-
tand that many students put themselves
through college. Many need this money just
to survive. So next time students should try
not to be so self-important to prove their
value and worth .first.

It isn't exploitation
Editor:
I
was distressed by the tone of the column
"The Bottom Line" by Kevin St. Onge,
("Why Do Students Get Short Changed?").
The tone was set in the opening sentence
that "Marist students are prostrating
themselves at the feet of the college and in-
dustry is alarming." What is alarming is the
writer's apparent lack of knowledge of how
the communications intern program works.
He came to my office and asked the ques-
tion, "Why doesn't Marist demand that
companies pay all student interns?" I told
him then that some do, but the ones that
don't often offer other advantages to the stu-
dent in a learning situation.
While working and making job contacts
(a number of students have been hired after
and even during their internships), these in-
terns are not part of an "exploitive
workforce"
as
described in the article. The
internship is an opportunity to learn in an
ABC newsroom, a
CBS
radio station, an
ABC-TV news magazine show, a network,
a wire service and a magazine or newspaper.
The exploitation of a student or an intern-
ship site is protected by contracts, weekly
journals, site visitations by college represen-
tatives, imernship instructors, final projects,
final evaluations of students by site super-
visors and exit interviews.
By the way, the intern file is returned to

recalling a level of activist protest unseen in
two decades.
A number of colleges and universities have
experienced student faculty forums and even·
a few "teach-ins" devoted to the crisis in the
Persian Gulf. And each night television
brings us face to face with our sons and
daughters, husbands and wives, friends and
relatives, laden with ammunition and arma-
ment and speaking mostly of a desire for
peace and the chance to come home.
The memory cQmes to us in a variety of
sources as when a national political commen-
tator offers some thoughts on "The Lessons
of History" as Hugh Sidey did recently in
Time magazine (Nov. 20).
Or, when Henry Kissinger and George Ball
both invoke the memory of Vietnam during
their debate on PBS.
Or, when still another member of Con-
gress begins a speech with the phrase ''If the
Vietnam war taught us anything ... " At the
grass roots level (The New York Times, Nov.
15),
the memory lurks as a fear of another
president "hellbent on war," or the concern
that the returning soldiers be spurned by the
public as they were "after Vietnam," or of
the deadly reality of war as opposed to the
expectations of the young "who have never
seen war."
There are some who worry about such
parallels, who wish that the memories spark-
ed by that word could be erased.
In his first presidential campaign, Ronald
Reagan's metaphor for the perceived collapse
of American confidence was "the Vietnam
Syndrome." He struggled mightily (and on
the whole rather successfully) to rid us of the
demons of remembered agonies and bitter
defeat.
His successor in the White House would
dearly love to be able to play to that social
amnesia. That fact that he has not quite been
able to do so is one of the most hopeful
dimensions of the entire Gulf Crisis.

The
Bottom
Line
Given the current Persian Gulf crisis, it's
a good thing Marist students are not par-
ti<;ipat~ng. jn, in_ternship~ with the United
States military. .
. .
·
But seriously, like Marist athletes,
American soldiers deserve support solely
because they are soldiers.
Got your attention? Good, now read the
rest of the column and realize the above
paragraphs were being facetious. . .
The United States has two geopolitical
goals in the Persian Gulf: (I) Stop Iraqi ag-
gression, eliminating future military threats
and preventing Hussein from acquiring a
nuclear capability and, (2) set a global prece-
dent that in the post-cold-war era, peace and
democracy are still worth the fight.
August 2, 1990, the Iraqi military
machine, hardened by almost a decade-long
war with neighboring Iran, brutally and
without provocation invaded its oil-rich, but
otherwise peaceful neighbor to the south,
Kuwait.
A sovereign nation, Kuwait was an inter-
national mecca of the oil industry. Corporate
interests predominated in this otherwise bar-
ren area which offers oil and access to the
gulf but little else.
'
Led by the United States, international
reaction was marked by strong denunciation
of both Iraq and its leader for such overt ag-
gression. President Bush committed 250,000
troops to protect Saudi Arabia, fearing Iraq
would continue its hostile adventurism.
With United Nations support, economic
sanctions have been in place for the better
part of three months. And while it remains
unclear just how effective the sanctions are
and will be, the additional 250,000 soldiers
sent to the region Nov.
8
seem to indicate
a renewed commitment to liberating Kuwait.
The additional troops would further seem
to give both policy and military planners ad-
ditional leverage in the informal negotiation
process -
the one being carried on through
the media -
with perception taking
precedence over substance.
Perception became reality last Thursday
however, when the United Nations Security
Council voted
12-2 (in what is hoped to be
the last of
12 resolutions since August aim-
ed at Iraq) to authorize the U.S. and its allies
to use force to remove Iraqi aggressors from
Kuwait, if Hussein does not, before January
15.
Many people seem to be saying
the
resolu-
tion means we remain at
the
status quo
un-
til the
15th,
then declare war the ne~t day.
It isn't that simple.
Negotiations are
still
possible but Iraq
has
to
drop
its
contingent that any peace talks
be linked with the Palestinian issue. That is
Hussein's attempt to galvanize Pan-Arabism
and the U.S. has rightly refused to allow him
to dictate the cotiditions tor negotiation.
Ironically, despite the possibility of war,
the events in the Persian Gulf have actually
brought the world closer together.
Fifty-four nations have pledged financial
or military resources to the joint action op-
posing Iraq. Twenty-six nations have sent
troops or equipment to the region led ob-
viously by the American ground forces with
almost 400,000 personnel. Saudi Arabia has
38,000 troops, Egypt is contributing 20,000,
Britain's initial force of 9,500 is expected to
grow in the coming weeks and Syria has
5,0QO tro9ps in defensive pc;,sitions, not
to
mention the 28,500 other troops from a
several Latin American and Pacific nations.
The Syrian case is most curious. In the
wake of forging an alliance against a com-
mon enemy, both the U.S. and most recent-
ly Britain (late last week) restored diplomatic
ties with
a
nation often linked to terrorist ac-
tivities around the world.
Morton Kondracke, senior editor at "The
New Republic," described U.S. involvement
in the region this way: "The U.S. is not ac-
ting as the world's policeman. We are, if you
will,
like
a
sheriff organizing a posse in the
name of law and order. We are acting, as we
often have before, as the leader of the civiliz-
ed world."
As the leader of the civilized world, the
U.S. has exhibited incredible restraint in the
face of relentless taunting by a bold but
misguided bully.
Despite abstaining from last weeks vote
setting a 47-day timetable for the use of
force, Chinese Foreign Minister Quan
Qichen addressed the U.N. Security Coun-
cil saying, "The United Nations, as the in-
ternational organization for the maintenance
of peace and security, is responsible both to
international security and to history. It
should act with great caution and avoid tak-
ing hasty actions on such a major question
authorizing member states to take military
actions against another member state."
Saddam Hussein should have been so
cautious. By January 15, over five months
will have passed. That is more than enough
restraint.
BY
THE WAY . . .
Politically, the potential of resurrecting the
draft is something few Congressman want to
consider at this point. As college students
though, it is something to keep in the back
of our minds.
Most of the Marist community is within
the age category that would make up the like-
ly group or people called upon should war
in the Gulf become a protracted affair.
Unless you're in medical or law school,
most
young Americans are eligible to serve.
It's interesting to hear friends and family
talk about the possibility of a draft.
Casual conversation among some students
reveals most would rather stay at Marist but
would gladly opt
for
the military not
Montreal.
The rock band Poison sums it up \\ith the
lyrics of their latest tune, " ... just give me
something to believe in ... "

Through the Giving Tree Pro-
ject, over 500 gifts were collected
to be distributed to needy families
in the Poughkeepsie area. Matt's
dream of providing Christmas for
20 families was met and exceeded
by the generosity of all who
participated.
Exploitation? Hardly. So you see
St. Onge's line "Marist is being
paid for doing very little," hardly
applies to learning process as any
classroom, laboratory or an off-
campus student teacher in an off-
campus high school. The internship
site is well equipped and employes
real professionals and, in some
cases, "the very best." (Where can
you learn better newsroom writing
and interviewing than with NBC's
Gabe Pressman?)
The club itself was fine, but
when I left the new dining room
and approached my automobile, it
was not as l had left
it.
My wind-
shield wiper had been snapped off,
likewise my side mirror. I had been
the victim of a vandal.
It isn't so much the expense and
inconvenience of replacing the
parts that upsets me. It's the fact
that to me Marist has always been
a ba'stion df safety in an otherwise
slumlike town and it is disturbing
to
find that this just isn't true.

''Society'' woes
Editor:
On Dec.
J, the
21
Society held
its monthly beer bash. Approx-
imately 200 seniors were present,
enjoying 50-cent drafts and the
newly-added wine spritzers. As
usual, DJ Ron Marli played the
newest and hottest tunes as well as
some of the classics. In addition,
this was the first
21
Society in
which guests were permitted, but
only with a guest pass. Several
guests said that they loved the par-
ty atmosphere at Marist.
The dance floor was packed and
it was clear everyone was having a
fantastic time. Throughout the
night, beer and wine spritzers flow-
ed, people ate and feet moved as
mature behavior of a few would
have negative consequences for the
rest. As a result, in or~e~ to pay f?r
the damages, the adm1ss1on fee will
probably increase from $2 to $3
next semester.

Smith, Tim Owens, Heather Leigh

was successful. Our mission state-
ment says, in part, "Marist's
dedication to academic excellence
and the pursuit of higher values is
disadvantaged as well as to serve
the regional community as a
whole."
Matt and his fellow students are
to be applauded for bringing these
Marist ideals to fruition and for
teaching us all an important lesson
about the spirit of Christmas.

For sc;,me, winter break means staying in Po'town
by
ERIC SYLER
Staff Writer
For most students, winter in-
tersession means going home to
work or maybe even
to go on
vacation.
But for about 330 students each
year, the month-long break is a
time to hit the books.
An
average of 266 Marist
students enrolled in the intersession
classes over the past four years, ac-
cording to enrollment statistics kept
by the Office of Adult Education.
The rest of this student body is
made up mostly of adult students
and
students
from other colleges.
Viewpoint
Reports from Adult Education
indicate that student registration
this year is up from last year.
Juniors and seniors make up the
greatest number of
students
who
take these classes, according to a
survey conducted by Adult
Education.
Students take classes in January
is to finish their degrees, to
graduate on time or to catch up on
classes, according to the survey.
Eleanor Charwat, executive
director of Adult Education, said
the three most popular classes arc
Media Ethics, History and Culture
of the Hudson Valley and Marriage
and the Family.
Besides the course offerings here
at Marist, two more
will be held off
campus.
Psychology courses will once
again be offered in Barbados, and
for the first time, Marist students
will be able to take classes at the
University of Kiev.
Registration for classes will con-
tinue until December
21.
Students
can register for classes at the Adult
Education office in the Dyson
Center, room
127
or at the Fishkill
Center, Dutchess Mall, Route
9
and
1-84.

I'm sure you'll remember them in between verses
of "O Holy Night," while you and your grandchildren
sit around the Christmas tree and sip egg nog.
Webster's New Riverside University Dictionary
defines patriotism as the "love of and devotion to
one's own country."
Just one question: is one's own country required to
reciprocate these same feelings?
I bet they'll think of you too, as they're crouching
in a fox hole, clutching a letter from mom, waiting
for their next command. There's no greater love than
that. Is there?

Students go back to high school;
admissions interns selling Marist
by
DONNAMARIE
D'ANGELICO
and SENAN GORMAN
Staff Writers
Some Marist students are
finishing up a semester back in high
school.
Six seniors interned through the
Office of Admissions this semester,
and
spent most of their days
travelling
throughout
New
England; New Jersey and parts of
Pennsylvania and Delaware, and
the rest of their time visiting high
schools and college fairs.
"They help attract students from
secondary markets that would not
normally be informed about
Marist," said Michelle Erickson,
director of admissions.
To
be
accepted, the students
needed a 2.5 grade point average
and had to interview with admis-
sions staff last semester. Each also
went through a three-week training
program in late August.
Recruiters must be mature, self-
confident, articulate and have a
positive attitude about the college,
Erickson said.
Much has changed since an of-
ficial
internship
program
originated.
According to
a
1971
anicle
printed in the New York Times,
there were six interns,
each
receiv-
ing
six
credits for Admissions work
and six credits for independent
study. They
also
received
a
$500
sti-
pend, an expense account, and
the
use
of a Ford Maverick.
Almost 20
years
later,
each
of
the interns receive a total of
15
credits for the semester-long intern-
ship. In addition, they are allotted
a $2,300 stipend, an expense ac-
count, and the use of either a
1990
Toyota Corolla or a
1990
Chevorlet
Corsica.
They get plenty of use of the new
cars as well, travelling about four
to five hours a day, an average of
1,000
miles per week.
Jamie O'Hara, a senior from
Philadelphia,
Pa., said he has
already logged about
10,000
miles
and one accident on his Corolla.
"I ...
recruited a guardrail
once,"
O'Hara
said.
Visiting
four to five high schools
a day and usually a college fair at
night, interns agree their days begin
- and end - talking to people and
moving from town
to town
spreading the word of Marist
College.
"The area
I
recruit in
has
not
been hit yet by Marist
recruiters. I
not only have to sell Marist, but
I
have to sell myself
as
well,"
said
Elizabeth Masterson, a
senior from
Somers,
Conn.
Meeting
with
prospective
students and their guidance
counselors, recruiters have observ-
ed that their «job"
is
more impor-
tant than the naked eye can see.
"What
I
do reflects not only on
me, but on Marist," said Barbara
Buttacavoli,
a
senior from New Ci-
ty,
N. Y. '' I
take things in stride and
have gaine(rthe ability
to be flexi-
ble at any moment."
Student recruiters are also lear-
ning that the prospective students
want to know first-hand what
it
is
like to be a college student.
"The students seem to
be more
comfortable with asking you non-
standard questions when they
know you are a student too," said
Courtney Black,
a
senior from
Whitesboro,
N.Y.
"Questions like:
'What is the social atmosphere at
Marist like?' They can more or less
relate better to another student
rather than a hired professional."
Spreading the word can be more
exciting than one thinks.
One high school student pulled
a gun out at a recent national col-
lege fair, said O'Hara.
However,
O'Hara said he is
looking forward to taking classes
at
Marist
again, especially after a
semester of being
on the
road. He
also spent his junior
year
abroad in
Austria.
Black
agreed:
"The
worst thing
about the job is
being
away from
school
so
much.
I
love what I'm
doing, but you
just lose touch
sometimes."
She said the best thing about the
process of recruiting is when a stu-
dent comes up to you \\-1th all kinds
of questions and is really en-
thusiastic about Marist, and then
a year later, you see him
or her on
campus.
. ..What a great feeling you get
when you know you made a dif-
ference," she said.
Greg Ordway, a communication
arts major
from
Danbury, Conn.,
referred to the admiss.ions intern
as
"an invaluable work-related ex-
perience
for a communications ma-
jor."
"We were not really sure what
exactly we were getting into until
we had the
keys
in our hands and
started doing what we were train-
ed
to do," Ordway said. "But at
the same time, it ·was mostly leam-
in2 through doing."

THE CIRCLE, DECEMBER

Cagers set for Classic;
to face tough competition
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
The men's basketball team will be looking for
its first win of the season this weekend when it hosts
the fifth annual Pepsi-Marist Classic.
. Marist, which won the tournament last year, will
bring an 0-3 mark into its opening-round game
tomorrow night.
Competing against Marist in this year's Classic
will be Brown University, Canisius College and
Lehigh University.
Marist Head Coach Dave Magarity said this is
the toughest field in the tournament's five-year
history.
"This is going to be a competitive tournament,"
he said. "There are going to be some good basket-
ball teams here. I'm looking forward to us getting
our first win on Friday night -
hopefully."
The opening round game will feature Canisius
against Lehigh. Canisius, which plays out of the
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, posted an
11-18 mark last season.
The Golden Gr:iffins;·'.coached ·by Marty Mar-
bach, are led by .. junior center Ed Book. The
6-foot-11-inch Book averaged 13 points and six re-
bounds per contest last season. Canisius also
returns its starting backcourt of Chuck Giscombe
and Gregg Smith. The two seniors had a combin-
ed average of 20 points per game last year.
"They (Canisius) are playing good ball right
now," said Magarity. "They took Xavier down to
the wire last week; they're a good club."
Playing out of the Patriot League, Lehigh is
coming off an 18-12 mark last season.
The Engineers are led by 6-foot-6-inch forward
Dozie Mbonu. The junior averaged 15 points and
eight rebounds per game for coach David Duke's
club. Also returning for Lehigh is junior forward
Bob Krizansky, who averaged 17 points and eight
rebounds per contest.
The first round foe for the Red Foxes will be
Brown. The Bears, who are coached by Mike-
Cingiser, are members of the Ivy League.
"They are a good basketball team," Magarity
said. "Brown is a tough way for us to start out the
tournament. Hopefully, we will be able to get our
first win under our belts and start to move on."
Leading the Bears will be junior guard Rick
Lloyd. Last season, the 6-foot-l-inch shooting
guard averaged 14 points per game for the 10-16
Bears. Challenging the Marist frontcourt will be
sophomore Carlos Williams. The 6-foot-7-inch for-
ward tallied l I points and eight rebounds per game
last season.
"We need to be optimistic about this weekend,"
said Magarity. "We are struggling right now, no
question. We need to get that first win.
"The Siena game was a step in the right direc-
tion," he said. "We are starting to come along but
we are going
to
have to play some good basketball
to win."
Marist won the Classic last year with wins over
the University of Vermont and Columbia
University.
The Red Foxes defeated Vermont in the open-
ing round 81-58. Marist captured the tournament
with a 82-62 win over Columbia.

With a 59-52 victory over Col-
gate University last Saturday, the
womens' basketball team notched
their first win of the year in the
midst of a tough early season
schedule.
The Lady Red Foxes, now 1-3
overall, had lost their previous two
games to Brown University and
Army.
Sophomore Charlene Fields and
junior Kris Collins paced the team
to a second-place finish in the Lady
Griff
Tournament held Dec. 1-2, at
Canisius University.
Fields was the high-scorer with
16
points, while Collins added 15
and pulled down a game-high 10
rebounds.
Head coach Ken Babineau said
he was relieved the team picked up
its first win.
"This win feels real good right
now. I felt we executed well and
nailed almost all of the key free-
throws down the stretch," he said.
Fields and Collins both were
selected to the all-tournament
team. The play of both these for-
wards has been one of the bright
spots so far in a difficult season.
to be 2-2 instead of 1-3. But in
reality, the Army team was much
better than
I
thought. They were an
outstanding team."
Although the losses are tough to
take in the early season, the strong
competition should help to prepare
the team for the more important
conference schedule, Babineau
said.
The team has been plagued by
bouts of poor-shooting and tur-
novers which have contributed to
the slow start.
As a team, Marist is only
shooting about 36 percent.
Babineau said the squad needs to
shoot somewhere between 40 per-
cent and 45 percent in order to win
games.
"We also have to work on our
rebounding and our turnovers," he
said.
Injuries in the backcourt to
senior Nancy Holbrook and
freshman Janice Awad probably
have contributed to the turnovers.
Holbrook suffers an injured knee,
while Awad has a weak ankle.

University yesterday. The results of
the game were unavailable

_Cagers crushed;
Showbiz
shines
by
MIKE O'FARRELL
Sports Editor
Three games into the 1990-91 season, the men's basketball team is still
searching for its first victory.
Tuesday night, the Red Foxes fell to the Saints of Siena College, 89-66.
After trailing by just eight points at the half, Marist was outscored
by Siena 45-30 in the second half.
"We ran into a great team," said Head Coach Dave Magarity. ·"We
are coming along. I was most pleased with the fact that we didn't fall
. apart like we did in our first two games."
In its season opener against James Madison University, Marist jumped
out to a 34-20 lead in the first half before losing.82-53.
Last Saturday, against Fairfield University, the Red Foxes could never
really get started. Shooting a mere 34 percent from the floor, Marist fell
91-69 at the hands of the Stags.
"I thought we ran our offense a bit better against Siena," said Magari-
ty. "We got some good shots, but we just ran out of gas against a big-
ger, more experienced team."
Led by All-American candidate Marc "Showbiz" Brown, Siena had
five players score in double figures. Brown, a senior guard, tallied 20
points, seven assists and four steals.
"We played well enough.to win," said Brown. "We are a bigger team
than they are and we tried to take advantage of that. They played hard,
but we are more experienced. I think that was the key to the ball game.''
Despite trailing by as many as 13 in the first half, the Red Foxes had
an opportunity to close within four at the break.
Sophomore guard Andy Lake was fouled intentionally by Siena's Mike
Brown with 30 seconds left in the half. Lake drained the two foul shots.
On the eshuing inbounds play, Doremus Bennerman threw a half-court
bounce pass to Brown who scored an un-contested lay up to give the
Saints an eight point lead.
"That was a big play for us," said Brown. "It gave us some momen-
tum going into the locker room."
The Red Foxes were led by junior forward Fred Ingles. The. transfer
from Allegheny Community College finished the game with 20 points
and six rebounds. Senior forward George Siegrist also added 13 points
and six rebounds;
"Ingles had a real good game for them," said Siena head coach Mike
Dean. "He played strong in the first half and one of the keys for us in
the second half was that we were able to shut him down."
Marist continued to struggle in the outside shooting department. Prior
to the Siena game, the Red Foxes were shooting only 37 percent from
the floor. Against the Saints, Marist shot 38 percent.
Most effected by the cold shooting has been Steve Paterno. Although

· ··
Having sprained an ankle after the James Madison game, the point
guard is yet to return to lOQ percent. Lake was ineffective against Fair-
field and began to play well against the Saints, scoring 10 points.
Lake said that he felt the offense played well Tuesday. "We saw some
good things,'' he said. ''Our offense was better, we executed better. They
hit the boards real hard. Their size was a definite edge."
The key to victory for Siena was tempo and size, according to Dean.
"We used a zone trap to control the tempo," he said. "We wanted
an uptempo game. Marist doesn't have a real big or real physical team
and we were able to take advantage of that~ I was also· happy that we
answered every scoring
run
they started."
Absent from the scoring column against Siena was Reggie Gaut. The
senior, who averaged 1
l
points per game last year, has only scored 23
points so far this year, 18 coming against Fairfield.
"We. aren't getting any production from some key people," said
Magarity after the Fairfield loss. "We aren't gettirig much from oilr
seniors right now."
Tomorrow night, the Red Foxes host Brown University in the open-
ing round of the Pepsi-Marist Classic.
"We need a win right now," said Magarity. "We need to get one under
our belts and play like we are capable of playing."

but future plagued by problems

The Marist hockey team has been.skating on thin
ice .,as of late.
·,oespit!! defeating two opponents earlier in the
season, the Red Foxes earned their first victory Sun-
day-night against Fordham, 10-3.
Although starting the season with a mark of 2-1-1,
Marist was forced to forfeit two victories and a tie
when two players were declared ineligible for academic
reasons.
Sophomore forward Ed Sherako was declared in-
eligible after it was discovered that he is not carrying
enough credits to compete according to conference
rules. Junior backup goaltender Jeff Weaver has also
been sidelined for academic reasons.
To make matters worse;. the only goaltender remain-
ing· on the team, junior starter Mike Rodia, broke his
arm at a post-game party celebrating the team's vic-
tory over Fordham. Rodia will be out indefinitely,
leaving the team without an experienced goaltender.
"I
really don't know what we are going to do yet,"
said head coach Bob Mattice. "We'll just have to make
do."
Without an experienced goaltender, Mattice said the
team must pick up its play in order to win.
"We are going to have to tighten things up on the
defensive side," Mattice said. "I also think that we
are going to have to score eight or nine goals like we
did against Fordham to win. The guys are really go-
ing to, have to step up and take charge."
After falling to Fordham 7-1, on Saturday night,
the Red Foxes bounced back to dominate Sunday's
game.
"We really came together," said Mattice. "All

UNL
V
on the go, about Ty,
1
told you so
The University of Kansas has
every right to be mad.
Last week, the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) reversed a decision it·
made earlier that would prohibit
the University of Nevada-Las
Vegas from defending its national
championship in basketball.
At a special hearing last week,
the NCAA decided to let UNL V
choose its own· punishment. The
school chose to accept.
By doing so, the NCAA has
made itself look unstable.
The reason why Kansas is so
upset is because after it had won
the national championship in 1988,
it was unable
to
defend its title the
following year because the program
was put on suspension for various
violations.
The NCAA had found UNL
V
and head coach Jerry Tarkanian
guilty of several violations and
decided to
ban
the
team from com-
peting in this year's tournament.
However, the two sides met last
week and the NCAA decided it
would allow UNL V to choose its
own punishment.
The Runnin' Rebels decided to
forego the tourrtam~nt next year in
order to have the opportunity to
defend its title this year. Also,
UNL
V
will not appear on television
next year.
The fact that UNL V has the best
college basketball team in the coun-
try might have had something to do
with the decision made by the
NCAA.
The NCAA would look extreme-
ly bad in March when the 64-team
tournament field was announced
and UNL
V
was not part of it.
Knowing that UNL
V
would not
be as strong next season, the
NCAA decided to give the team the
option of choosing its own
punishment.
The NCAA claims that tne case
involving
UNL V is
so unusual, that
this situation could never happen
again.

The recent ruling by the NCAA
says that Tarkanian and the pro-
gram did do something wrong and
they should be punished.
However, recalling the first in-
junction given and then giving the
program the right to choose its own
punishment is a bit rediculous.
Granted, UNLV will be hit hard
next year. However, just because
the Runnin' Rebels are the best

team in the nation does not mean
Back in 1977, Tarkanian
was
ac-
cused of wrong-doings. There was
an investigation into the UNL
V
program. Tarkanian fought the
NCAA and took them to court.
He fought all the way to the
United States Supreme Court
because he claimed that he was not
given a fair trial. The Supreme
Court agreed and issued a ruling
that said he could not be removed
as
coach.
The issue in the courts did not
center around whether or not
Tarkanian did something wrong.
The issue was whether or not he
was given a
fair
trial.
they should
be
exempt from just
punishment.
The NCAA, a normally well-
respected institution, has lowered
its standards so one particular team
can defend its national title. The
University of Kansas is upset
because they were in relatively the
same situation, but they had to
forfeit the opponunity to defend its
title. They were not able to choose
when they could serve their
suspension.
The
NCAA
blew this one.

About
the Heisman Trophy, I
told you so.
Okay, so I was wrong about
Oakland winning the World Series.
However, way back in . issue
number one of The Circle, I told
you that Ty Detmer would win the
coveted award that
is
given annualy
to the best college football player
in America.
Talk before the presentation
centered around Raghib Ismail and
how he was going to win the
trophy. Nothing
can
be
taken away
from Ismail, he is truly an exciting
player.
However, he did not put up
numbers that
can
compare with
Detmer's.
Some critics knocked Detmer
because of the number of intercep-
tions he has thrown. But, hey,
when a guy throws over
50
times
per game, he is going to throw
interceptions.
The Heisman voters definitely
made the right decision by picking
Detmer.
Besides, Ismail
will
win it next
year.
