Marist, Kiev swap

by
STACEY MCDONNELL
Managing Editor
Three Marist students will take
classes and one professor will teach
at the University of Kiev, beginn-
ing next fall, as part of an exchange
program set up with the Soviet
university.
The agreement, signed on March
26 by Marist President Dennis J.
Murray, marks the first time
students and professors from both
schools will learn and teach at one
anothers' school. Unlike the Marist
Abroad Program, there is an actual
exchange of personnel.
John Hartsock, assistant pro-
fessor of communication arts, has
been named the first Marist pro-
fessor to go to Kiev. He will be ex-
changed for a Soviet journalism in-
structor, said Casimir Norkeliunas,
associate professor of Russian.
Hartsock, who travelled exten-
sively throughout the Eastern Bloc
countries, speaks Russian, and his
work on the Baltic States appeared
in the Christian Science Monitor.
The students going to Kie\'.. will
be named at the end of the month,
said Norkeliunas, who initiated the
talks between the two schools while
in Kiev in October.
The participants can be major-
ing in any academic discipline, but
must have a working knowledge of
Russian, he said.
Students may stay for one
semester or a full academic year.
Professors may stay as little as one
month.
Vladimir K. Zabigailo, the
chairperson of the university's
Division of Comparative Law and
the director of its International
Program, travelled to Marist to
sign the agreement.
He, along with Norkeliunas,
created the program in which
students would not be charged
room and board or tuition at the
host school.
According to the agreement,
Marist students will receive a sti-
pend of
200
rubles per month, and
the professors, who must also
know Russian, will be paid 705
rubles per month from the
university.
Marist will give students from
Kiev 10 to 20 hours of campus
employment per week, and Marist
will pay the professors a stipend of
$800
per month in
1991-92.
The number of participants, the
amount of pay, the stipend and the
professors' course load will change
each year. The new conditions will
be set by Feb.
1S
annually.
The purpose of the program
is
to
establish "friendly relations and
mutual understanding in the spirit
of new political thinking."
Marist students annually travel
to the . Soviet Union with
Norkeliunas to tour the countries.
During Winter Intersession this
year, a group took classes at the
university.
The University of Kiev, with
20,000 students was established in
1832,
making it ~he second oldest
university in the Soviet Union.
International business gets
new status set for fall
by
RICHARD NASS
Staff Writer
In the wake of dramatic changes in the European market and the rise
of the Asian market, the Division of Management Studies has created
a new area of study to prepare students for life after graduation.
An international business concentration, designed to give students an
international perspective on the business world, will be offered next fall
for business students.
Students within the concentration must take "International
Marketing," "International Business" and "Trade Management," along
with meeting other department requirements, according to Jack Kelly,
chairperson of the management studies division.
"The more we
can
ingrain in students an international dimension, the
more the students
will
be prepared for the international world," said Kel-
ly, about the concentration which was created with input from many
. faculty members.
Prema Nakra, the chairperson of the International Business Concen-
tration sub-committee, developed the structure of the concentration.
Marist professors, most of which have had teaching and personal in-
ternational experience, helped Nakra develop the program, according to
Kelly.
Management studies administrators are working with professors in the
language and history departments in hopes of creating courses which will
broaden students' international flavor, according to Kelly.
Kelly hopes to
see
more business students studying abroad in the future,
especially in Asian countries like Taiwan, China and Japan, which he
said he considers the strongest market.
"This concentration will give students a better understanding of the
interdependent global business environment, which is definitely needed
today," said Kelly, who has received much positive reception from faculty
and students.
"Marist College has finally become aware that business students have
to recognize the entire world
as
a market and that's great." said Brian
Corbett, a freshman business major.
"I
hope this concentration
will
pro-
vide students with the skills necessary to compete for the few jobs out
in the market."
Corbett, from Ridgewood, N.J., plans to take the three-course con-
centration because he believes it will give him an extra edge when he goes
for
a
job interview.
"This concentration
will
help students
gain
an
entry

an
international firm," said Kelly, who
considers

concentration

Spring is in the air
Codes
may
force closing
of preschool
by
KAREN CICERO
Senior Editor
The Marist Preschool may close
this summer if college officials
decide not to spend the $50,000 to
$100,000
needed for the trailer that
houses
it
to meet Town of
Poughkeepsie safety standards.
The preschool, which faces the
stricter classification of a day care
center under Poughkeepsie or-
dinances, needs a sprinkler system
and improvements in the heating
system, fire alarms and doors, said
Mark Sullivan, executive vice
president.
Town building and fire inspec-
tors will make their final evalua-
tions this week, Sullivan said.
With budget constraints and the
low number of Marist faculty, staff
and administration with children in
the facility, college officials are
questioning the viability of main-
taining the preschool which has
been operating for about
15
years.
'
."At this point, unless . cost
'estimates are reduced, it doesn't
look optimistic (for the preschool
to remain open)," Sullivan said.
"My heart goes out to those who
use the school, but we face a tight
budget."
Nine of the
19
pupils enrolled in
the school are students of Marist
employees. Employees pay a mon-

Charles Kuralt, CBS journalist,
named ninth LT Award winner
by
JEFF SIMONSON
Staff Writer
Charles Kuralt, the anchor for
CBS News Sunday Morning and
host of the "On the Road" features
for the network, has been named
as the ninth recipient of the Lowell
Thomas Award.
The date and location of the
award
presentation have not been
set
said
Shaileen
Kopec,
acting vice
president
for
College
Advancement.
The Lowell
Thomas
award was
established in
1983
and is
given
an-
nually to recognize outstanding
in-
dividuals
in
the
communications in-
dustry whose work reflects the life
and work of Lowell Thomas.
Kopec said Thomas's son,
Lowell Thomas, Jr., considers
Kuralt the journalist who
is
most
like
his
father. Thomas, Jr.
is
a
key
figure in choosing the recipient of
the
award.
She said
Kuralt's work
parallels
Thomas's in
regards
to their travels
and their humanistic approach to
journalism. Kuralt has travelled
more
than
a million miles doing his
"On
the Road" stories. Thomas
travelled more than six
million
miles during his lifetime.

Charles Kuralt
became a news correspondent in
1959.
In the mid
1960s
he began his
critically acclaimed and awarded
"On the Road" features.
He has been awarded nine Em-
my Awards, the Missouri Honor
Medal for Lifetime Accomplish-
ment in Journalism, and was nam-
ed
Broadcaster of the
Year
in
1983
by the International Radio and
Tel~ision Sc,ciety.
Kuralt
is
the
author of
six
books.
They include "To the Top of the
World," "Dateline: America,"
"On the Road with Charles
Kuralt," "North Carolina Is My
Home," and "A Life
On
the
Road."
Kopec said this year's award
presentation will be later than usual
because most journalists could not
commit to a specific date due to the
Persian Gulf War.
And unlike other years, the lun-
cheon at which the recipient
receives the award, will not be held
at the Helmsley Palace, in New
York City, she said.
The recipient or the
1991
Com-
munication
Arts Alumni Internship
Achievement Award has not yet
been named, said Kopec.
This year's presentation will pro-
bably begin a centennial theme that
will continue through next year's
ceremony, said Kopec. April
6,
1992
marks the centennial of
Thomas's birth.
Thomas is an honorary alumnus
of Marist College. He was the
keynote speaker at the
1981
com-
mencement exercises where he was
awarded an Honorary Doctor of
Law degree. He died on August 29,
J
981, at his home in Pawling, N. Y.
Previous recipients of the award
are
Eric Sevaried, Walter Cronkite,

wards, David Brinkley, Harry

THE CIRCLE; APRIL

Look
around, signs
of
spring are here at last
minute to look at the flowers. Not
only do they smell good, but there's
something about the way they've
been planted.
I knew it was cold, but not that
cold.
It
was tolerable while wading
across, but it's
·
different when
you're totally immersed.
I climbed the three
2
x 4s nailed
to the trees and stepped up onto the
platform to make my spring debut.
We hadn't been to the stream since
September, and I was so eager to
get to there that I didn't even
bother to tie my bathing suit
strings.
l took the rope that was hang-
ing in front of me and looked
around to make sure my friends
were watching. After all, if
I
was
going to swing out and fall
10
feet
into the water, someone had bet-
ter see it.
I took a couple steps back and
rushed forward with the rope clen-
ched in my hands. I floated out
above the water and let go.
I'm not sure if the pain came
from the sheer impact of hitting the
water with my back or from the
fact that my entire body tried to
shrivel up at once because the water
was so cold.
The pain in my head was more
acute than the pain you get when
you eat ice cream too fast.
I
was in
agony, my friends were in hysterics
and my shorts were now
downstream.
Yes trendsetters, spring is here
and with it comes longer days and
shorter skirts. There's a mixture of
excitement and pollen in the air
that brings a tear to most people's
eyes.
As the weather continues to get
warmer, the temptation to blow-off
classes and delay term papers
becomes greater.
It's a little known fact that the
temperature and grades are inverse-
ly proportional.
So what can you do about it?
Go to the river. Go ahead. It's
spring, the year is almost over and
deep down you really, really want
to. Get a bunch of people and a
couple half kegs and find a new
spot further down the railroad
tracks.

It's a phenomenon that's been
becoming more and more popular
on college campuses. In an effort
to arouse school spirit, which is
scarce here, college officials have
tried to tap into our unconscious.
The phenomenon is known as -
subliminal gardening.
Flowers and shrubberies arrang-
ed in the shape of M's
can
be found
almost everywhere. Yellow daf-
fodils have been spray painted red
and white. Even the weedkiller is
spread out to spell Marist.
But subliminal gardening isn't
the most amazing springtime
phenomenon. That honor goes to
the second semester time warp.

Trial drama
makes 'Class'
enjoyable
by
BRIAN
McNELIS
Staff Writer
Movies dealing with courtroom
cases tend to be very bad or very
good; few fall between the two.
The newest one, fortunately,
falls into the latter category. The
movie is "Class Action," which
stars Gene Hackman and Mary
Elizabeth Mastriantonio. It is an
excellent courtroom drama.
The main reason for the movie's
success is the performance of the
two
·
leads.

·
Both
Mastriantonio
and
Hackman are excellent. Hackman,
one of Hollywoods hardest work-
ing actors, can always be depend-
ed upon to give
a
good perfor-
mance. He does not disappoint in
this new film and brings utter con-
viction and feeling to his role.
He plays Jedediah Tucker Ward,
: a fiercely dedicated lawyer who is
prosecuting a car company for a
faulty design which led to his
client's severe injuries. Opposing
him on the defense is his daughter,
Ellanore
Smith
Ward
(Mastriantonio).
Like Hackman, Mastriantonio is
excellent in her role. She is very
convincing and makes you feel for
her character as a dedicat
_
ed lawyer
who believes her side is right.
Although Class Action is a cour-
troom drama, the main focus of
the film is not on the trial. Instead,
the film focuses on the relationship
between Hackman and Mastrian-
tonio, its development and
changes.
At
first,
Hackman
and
Mastriantonio hate each other. She
is angry at him for past indiscre-
tions involving his wife, and he
can
not understand why she will not
leave the past behind her.
But as the movie profresses, a
bond grows between the two, and
eventually they learn to respect
each other.
The plot of "Class Action" is
also handled very well and, unlike
some courtroom dramas, is not
hard to follow. It deals with a man
who wants to sue a
car
company
because he was badly injured in an
automobile accident, and he feels
it wasn't his fault. He is
represented by Hackman. The car
company is represented by
Mastriantonio.
The plot then moves swiftly on
taking some very clever and unex-
pected turns which keep the viewer
engrossed as Hackman and
Mastriantonio try to outsmart each
other. There is some predictability
in "Llass Action," but it does not
deter from its' overall enjoyment.
The performance of the two leads
manage to overcome any rough
spots.

Latvian VP speaks about Baltic turmoil
Dainis Ivans, the vice president of Latvia told an audience
last Tuesday in the Fireside Lounge that Gorbachev is neither
the answer to the problems of Latvia, nor to the problems of
the entire Soviet Union.
by
CHRIS SHEA
Staff Writer
As American involvement turns
away from the Middle East, a small
Baltic republic battling for its in-
dependence -
and ultimately its
culture -
needs immediate atten-
tion, said Dainis Ivans, vice presi-
dent of Latvia, in a speech given
last week in the Fireside Lounge.
Ivans, a journalist before in-
strumenting a grass-roots, peaceful
revolution against the Soviet Union
in 1986, spoke of the reasons why
Latvia has moved towards
independence.
"Latvians want to escape a
totalitarian regime and integrate
with the civilized world," said
Ivans.
Latvia was an independent coun-
try from 1920 until the Soviet oc-
cupation during World War II.
Speaking of the recent political
events such as the establishment of
the Latvian Popular Front (LPF)
of which Ivans is vice president, he
said that the revolution
"didn't
establish a new state. We re-
established a state that was oc-
cupied by the Soviet Union for over
40 years."
Ivans is visiting the United States
to learn more about the American
educational system and also to raise
the awareness of the turbulent
situation in Latvia.
Ivans detailed how the revolu-
tion began as an ecological move-
ment and then escalated when Lat-
vians realized they had to act in
' '
·11·
t
We are w1 mg o
die 'to save our
culture and traditions.
The world exists only
because there are dif-
ferent cultures.' '
order to protect their culture.
"We are willing
10
die lo save
our culture and tradition. The
world exists only because there are
different cultures," he said.
"We have a 4,000-year-old
culture, language and traditions,"
Ivans said. "The only way to save
these things was independence."
According to Ivans, Soviet Presi-
dent Mikhail Gorbachev is neither
the
answer
to the Latvia question,
nor to the problems facing the
Soviet Union as a whole.
"Gorbachev
is a renovator -
not a democrat. Western people
don't understand that. He wants to
reform the Communist system to
save it. He does not know how to
solve the problem of national rela-
tions. He does not know how to
solve problems in a political
system," he said.
Ivans, who knows Gorbachev
personally, said the problems fac-
ing the Soviet Union cannot be
solved with force.
Boris Yeltsin, president of the
Soviet republic of Russia, is the on-
ly chance for democracy in the
Soviet Union.
"He is more progressive than
Gorbachev and that is why more
people support him than Gor-
bachev," Ivans said.
Latvia is more than capable of
sustaining itself if it were to become
an independent nation, Ivans said.
The Latvian Parliament already
has established economic ties with
several of the other Soviet
republics. The country, on its own,
produces 90 percent of their food
needs, and 70 percent of their in-
dustrial needs, Ivans said.
Key factors in the economic
development of Latvia arc the three
seaports which used to serve as the
import/export point of 60 percent
of all Soviet trade, said Ivans.
When the Soviet Union was in
control of these ports, they did not
pay to use them, he said.
"We have ideas," Ivans said.
"We already have established over
7,000
private
farms.
·
Our
agricultural situation is better than
that of the Soviet Union's."
Plans are in the works for Lat-
via's joining the Baltic Common
Market in 1992 and perhaps the
Scandinavian Market later on, the
vice president added.

Student government
·
elections:
many positions are uncontested
by
TRICIA RIZZUTO
Staff Writer
Today and tomorrow are the last
two days for students to vote for
Student Government officers for
the 1991-92 school year.
Elections are usually held during
the week of April 1, according to
Steve Sansola, assistant dean of ac-
tivities and housing.
Because of Spring Break and
Easter recess, the elections had to
be held a week later, when a five-
day work schedule was resumed,
according to Kevin Desmond,
president of the Council of Student
Leaders.
The elections are for officers of
the CSL, the College Union Board,
Resident Student Council, the Stu-
dent Academic Committee, the
Commuter Union and class
officers.
There will also be elections for
individual club officers for the
1991-92 academic school year held
this
week.
Due to a poor turnout of
can-
didates for the offices available,
many current officers, especially
class officers, are running for re-
election unopposed, according to
Desmond.
The ten candidates running
unopposed include all of the senior
and junior class officers, said
Desmond.
No one is running for the posi-
tion of secretary for the class of
1993.
Someone will be appointed by
the elected president of the class of
1993 to fill this position.
The president of CSL will ap-
point people to any CSL position
not filled in the elections. The posi-
tion of Financial Board Chairper-
son is not an elected position and
will also be appointed by the CSL
president.
.
Besides unopposed candidates,
eligibility was
also
a problem in this
year's elections.
Bob Lynch, coordinator of stu-
dent activities, said after he check-
ed the eligibility of the candidates,
he discovered one person didn't
meet the requirements.
Lynch said all of the candidates
were informed about the re-
quirements of eligibility at infor-
mational meetings about running
for office. Desmond said the
uneligible candidate
was
running
for
a
position in CSL, but could
not release the student's name.
To run for a CSL position, a
candidate needs a 2.5 grade point
average, and for any other office
the requirement is a 2.0.
Desmond said he thinks it is
depressing to see students are not
getting involved with Student
Government.
"It's obviously not a priority and
I think people will regret it," said
Desmond.
Desmond said popularity does
and will play a big part in all stu-
dent elections.
He said Student Government is
in a good position right now with
the school, and the administration
listens to requests made by the
organization.
"The college has been very
receptive to us, but right now what
we need are people to put in the
time and effort," he said.
Speeches were held Tuesday
night in Campus Center so students
could listen to the candidates in
hopes of choosing one who would
best suit the needs of the students.
This year, ballots are being used
instead of voting machines in order
to defray costs, according to
Desmond.
Voting tables have
been
set
up in
the North End, Campus Center
and Donnelly Hall.

'Hudson Heights?'
Campus soap debut delayed
by
SHEILA McLOUGHLIN
Staff Writer
Is "Hudson Heights" history? Is
it on hiatus? Or has it been hexed?
Scheduling problems, filming on
location and the tediousness of
editing have delayed the debut of
the 45-minute student-run soap
opera.
At press time, the Marist College
Television (MCTV) production,
which was supposed to air in
March, is tentatively scheduled for
this month.
Russ Caputo, the show's direc-
tor, said conflicts in filming
schedules present the most pro-
blem. Caputo, a junior, said it's
difficult to get the 20-member cast
and
crew together at the same time.
And the sheer number of hours
it takes to
film -
it can take up to
two hours to get a one-minute
scene right on camera -
has also
delayed the show's debut, Caputo
said.
Also postponing the soap's first
episode are the problems associated
with filming on location.
"When filming on location, we
got exterior forces that get in the
way,"
he said, referring to noise
and weather.
Location shots force the crew to
consider the following: Is it day or
night? Is there too much glare for
the camera? Are uninvolved
students accidentally getting into
scenes or making too much noise?
"It's been a learning experience
to say the least," Caputo said.
In fact, Matt Corcoran, pro-
ducer of "Hudson Heights," said
the soap will not be filmed on loca-
tion next semester.
He said he hopes to build
a
set
in Champagnat Hall. Most of the
indoor filming, Corcoran said, now
takes place in a small room in Leo
Hall, making it difficult
to
film.
Corcoran, a junior, said with the
delay, he's worried people aren't
taking the show serious Iv.
"It's just so much work," he
said.
Freshman Sarah Taney, who
plays Jackie on the soap, said the
first episode contained about
40
scenes which have to be edited.
"I
hope it actually gets on the air
because a lot of people have been
working hard," Taney said.

Debate team
wins national
championshi
by
L YNAIRE BRUST
Staff Writer
Jim Springston, Marist debate
coach, celebrated when two of his
teams won national championships
in March -
the second time in
three years for Marist.
Then the past came back to
haunt him.
Two years ago, members of the
novice and junior varsity teams
shaved Springston's head when
they won the Pi Kappa Delta Na-
tional Debate Tournament and a
bet with their coach.
Since then there has been a run-
ning bet that if any team won the
nationals, they would again take a
razor to Springston, who never ex-
pected anyone to have the
opportunity.
"There are so many schools that
have never won one, that I never
thought they would have the op-
portunity to collect," he said.
On March 23, however, both the
novice and the junior varsity teams
won and Springston faced the razor
Monday afternoon.

The varsity team came in second

The debate team, as a whole,
finished fifth in the nation, putting
them in the top 10 for the fourth
year in a row, according to
Springston.
The Marist debating program
has been ranked number one in the
· East 24 months in a row.
At the time Marist was winning
at the national level, the novice
team of Michele Bafuma, a
freshman from Southington,
Conn., and James Hocking, a
freshman from Danbury, Conn.,
was hosting and winning the New
York State Championships.

Marist has acceptecl about 15 percent more
students than at this time last year, drawing
the extra acceptances from students who

Six admissions interns were hired this year,
two more than last year, she said.
"We've expanded the geographic area (we
recruit in) and are visiting more high schools

While The Chronicle of Higher Education
reported public colleges are becoming more
popular to students because tuition is tradi-

Phi Sigma Kappa
chartered by CSL
by
BRETT RIOLO
Staff Writer
Marist College has another
fraternity.
The Council of Student Leaders
chartered Phi Sigma Kappa,
thereby bringing the number of ex-
isting fraternities at Marist to five.
The current members of Phi
Sigma Kappa, who now form the
founding fathers of this chapter,
have been working toward the
chartering of the fraternity since
April 1990.
"I see nothing but positive
aspects coming out of the ap-
proval," said Todd Anderson,
Sigma Phi Epsilon's representative
on the Greek Council. "It is
another activity for people to get
involved with on campus."
Phi Sigma Kappa has such pro-
minent members as Frank Gifford
and Don Knotts. Although
originally formed in Epsilon 1873
at the University of Massachusetts,
the fraternity merged with Phi
Sigma Epsilon in
1985
creating the
biggest merger e,.-er in the fraterni-
ty world.

As a production designer, his
responsibilities include set design
and overseeing all visual elements
of a piece.
Mayer also designed commer-
cials
for
Pepsi,
Kodak,
McDonald's, Michelob, Kraft,
Nabisco and many other adver-
tisers, as well as work on scenery
for Disneyland.
Besides the set of
"L.A.

the class will visit Disneyland,
Universal Studios, and the special
effects department of "Star Trek
-
The Next Generation."
Plans to visit the taping of a
situation comedy, a game show, a
soap opera, a music video, a movie
and a commercial will be finalized
by May I.
Brooks said the television com-
edy they visit will probably feature
a child star, as that type of series
must start shooting earlier to abide
by education laws.
Mayer's credits include a Clio,
Most other series, including

Brooks said she and Mayer

door for Marist students on the
West Coast, "where the bulk of the
opportunities are," to allow them
to make contacts, check out their
competition, and hopefully, set up
internships.

Plus, the students will be expos-
ed to a different culture, Brooks
adds.
''They are more than just
geographical miles away, they are
philosophical miles away," Brooks
said. "(It's) a great way to get a
dose of realism that could not be
taught in a class."
Course requirements include
reading articles on the different
facets of the business, a daily jour-
nal, a resume and an outline of a
production plan the student would
like to accomplish.
The cost includes $724 for the
course and about $800 for air fare
and hotel, plus any additional
money for food, tour admissions
and souvenirs."
"Price it as though you were
spending six weeks in Poughkeep-
sie," Brooks said. "And it's really
quite reasonable." Brooks said the
course is filled.
"Some students are visiting the
First National Bank of Mom and
Dad," she said. "Assuming the
financial deal floats, I'll have 10."

When you take a look at the list of big
names which have come to Marist in the past
few months, it's pretty impressive.
Just last Tuesday, the Vice President of
Latvia spoke in the Fireside Lounge. A week
before that, Pulitzer Prize winner Alex Haley
spoke in the Theatre after spending the day
speaking with administrators, faculty and
students. Just before Easter, Joel Benenson,
the Albany Bureau Chief of The Daily News
paid a visit to campus, as did Eliz.abeth Tam-
posi, assistant secretary for Consular Affairs
in Washington, who spoke at a luncheon in
the Lowell Thomas· Communications
.
Pro-
fessor Vladimir K. Zabigailo; the chairper-
son of the University of Kiev's Division of
Comparative Law and director of the univer-
sity's International Department came to sign
the agreement for and discuss the student
and professor exchange between the two
schools. There was even comedian Joe
Piscopo to entertain two sold-out audiences.
Those are just a few of the more recent ones.
The people who asked them to come to
campus, and who secured their speeches and
shows, deserve a lot of credit. Their efforts
gave the Marist community a chance to hear
views and opinions of respected individuals
in literature, the media, politics, interna-
tional
relations,
education
and
entenainment.
These people should be thanked:
-
Marist College Trustee and alumnus
Peter Hanley, for bringing Alex Haley to
speak about his life and his work, and en-
couraging students and faculty to "find the
good and praise it," on April 2.
- Casimir Norkeliunas, professor of Rus-
sian, for inviting Vladimir K. Zabigailo, of
the University of Kiev, to talk about
Perestroika and the politics in the Baltic
states last Tuesday.

Without Catholic schools, education suffers
by
Bro. JOSEPH L.R.
BELANGER, fms
The L.A. police have nothing on Karen
Cicero when it comes to brutalizing
minorities (Catholic high school graduates
are only 29 percent of the Marist College
undergraduate population).
Unions raised a hullabaloo about hiring
the uncertified ("no teacher education
course~") ~nder a_n alternative one-year
supervised mternshtp for certification (NY
Times, Aug. 31, 1986). No doubt, the New
Jersey public schools were jealous of the
sadism and sex-phobia in the Catholic
schools.
ding less. The answer to quality education
is choice, a free market: l~t the students pick
their own school. So long as the public
schools in the United States have a monopoly
on education, they will never improve; com-
petition alone forces improvement.
The Chubb and Moe report is being at-
tacked as furiously as previous reports do-
ing justince to private schools (especially
High School Achievement: Public, Catholic,
and Private Schools Compared, by James S.
Coleman, Thomas Hoffer and Sally Kilgore

Impact of Communities by Coleman and
Hoffer. These studies give very high grades
to private schools, as do Chubb and Moe.
for the Harvard Education Review, New
York Times, AFT, UFT, ACLU and other
secular fortresses. Students be damned! Yet,
Global Studies show that other equally valid
and vibrant democracies subsidize education
for all their citizens, without any so-called
infringement of the seperation of Church
and State. France is as democratic and
secular as the USA, yet it pays all Catholic
school salaries and 90 percent of physical
plant and construction costs.
Her article (Feb. 28, p.3) would have us
believe Catholic schools are predominantly
sadistic and sex-haunted. Facetiousness: B;
justice: F; research: F. Would Ms. Cicero be
preparing her dossier for job-hunting in a
media world which is heavily anti-Catholic?
If Catholic schools are that bad, why do
their inner-city schools nationally enroll over
40 percent non-Catholics? Who else gives
hope to the poor? These schools are to the
inner-city what the Church is to Latin
America: the best hope for human rights.
If
Catholic school are so bad, why did
New Jersey raid dozens of their teachers in
1986 to replace public school teachers who
had flunked a competency exam in the sub-
ject they were teaching? And these terrible
Catholic school teachers were hired, mind
you, uncertified!
Anybody writing about education in
America today knows that the hottest topic
is the Brookings Institution report of June
1990,
Politics, Markets, and America's
Schools by John E. Chubb and Terry M.
Moe. This report has been commented on in
every major newspaper, magazine, and news
medium in the country.
Anything beyond snack-bar research
would have told Ms. Cicero that. The book's
basic thesis is as follows. All major studies
of the past ten years on pre-college public
education in the United States have ascertain-
ed its disastrous situation (most notably
A
Nation at Risk, by the National Commission
on Excellence in Education, 1983). Chubb
and Moe maintain that more money is not
the solution. Private shcools outperform
public schools on the average, while spen-
Seven states, sincerely concerned about
their future, have already implemented the
Brookings Institution report by allowing a
free choice of public schools (NY Times, F27
'91, Bll: 1-4). The Delaware General
Assembley is currently debating tuition
vouchers applicable to all schools, including
denomational. (Ibid.)
Predominantly Protestant countries like
Holland, Scotland, and Canada heavily even
totally subsidize all education: public, private
Catholic, Jewish, etc. There are some State
controls, of course, but the schools have a
choice to be subsidized or not.
Quality education is the only guarantee of
a country's development.
It
is not a matter
of politics or religion.
It
is a matter of sur-
vival in today's global world. And a market
economy is the only road to quality, in
e_ducation, as in manufacturing. U.S. legisla-
tion has been anti-education and anti-family
long enough.
It
is time to change.
The big bugbear, of course, is what know-
nothing Americans call the "seperation of
Church and State." This is the rallying cry

Closing Preschool only teaches hypocrisy
by
MARGUERITE HEFFERON
In 1985 I had two job offers: one
offered $33,000; the other offered
$17,000. I took the $17,000 job.
I am the mother of two young

sometimes have to make difficult
choices. My choice in 1985 was bet-

flexible hours and had a daycare
facility for my then
3
year old. I
turned down the $33,000 job. In re-
jecting the higher paying job, I was
choosing the daycare option and
flexible hours that would allow me
to parent and have a career.
That's how important daycare is,
not only for me, but for literally
lnillions of parents, most of whom
do not have the choice of whether
or not they will work after they
have children. Economic necessity
dictates that they will work. This
is a fact many young people do not
realize. The myth of choosing
whether or not you will work after
you bear children is often precise-
ly that: a myth. And for those peo-
ple who do not have the choice, the
choice becomes an almost impossi-
ble one because society has con-

employers. And what is particular~
ly distressing is the apparent.lack
of a substantial reason for Marist
Preschool's closing.
First, the Preschool is not a
financial burden on the college, as
the directors clearly brought in
more tuition money this year than
the Preschool was budgeted for.
Another of the administration's
concerns is that the Preschool ac-
comodates more non-Marist than
Marist children. But, I ask you, is
that a reason to close the
Preschool, because in any given
year the facility only services

than 10 people retire per year to
make retirement a viable employee

reason why the Preschool was
underenrolled in the past:

of the diligence and business
acumen o( its .current directors, the
Preschool has suffered from an in-
tegrity problem because of the ad-
lninistration's unwillingness to lend
it enough financial support to make
it credible.
All colleges that I know of offer
daycare for their employees, often
at a reduced rate or even free.
Vassar College offers a preschool
program for their employees at the
rate of approximately $3,200 per
year. The Marist Preschool charges
approximately the same tuition.
However, if the Marist employees
had to use the Vassar facility, it
would cost us $5,100 per academic
year for one child's tuition at the
Vassar preschool; $5,100 is about
one-quarter of the after taxes salary
of a starting professor here at
Marist, about what a bank would
allot for that employee's mortgage
payments for one year.

won't even take our children; their
daycare facility is a service design-
ed only for their employees. How
ironic that a local community col-
lege has a daycare facility especially

their Preschool because the powers
that be apparently don't think it is
important enough to find a way to

these mutually exclusive worlds,
and it belittles and resents those

I fear this is what we are teaching
our students. Here at Marist we are
training young women to be pro-
fessionals in the work force, but in
closing the Preschool, the ad-
ministration is not acknowledging
that many of these trained profes-
sionals will be child-bearers.

Condomania: what's the answer?
A minor correction
Editor:
Please permit me to correct an
article quoting me which appeared
in
your March 26, 1991 issue regar-
ding the organization of an
"African (sic) Studies lninor pro-
gram."
First of all, the program of
studies which I and other Marist
faculty members are hoping to in-
troduce as a minor is more ac-
curately designated as an "African-
American Studies," rather than
"African Studies." While Africa
is, of course, a critical concept in
such studies, our proposed focus is
more on issues here in the USA
than on the continent of Africa
itself. The program would thus be
similar to what other colleges and
universities refer to as a "Black
Studies" program. While it
is true
that some institutions have combin-
ed the two (" African Studies" and
.. African-American Studies") and
such a combination has not
been
ruled out in principle, it is far too
ambitious an undertaking for
Marist at the present time.
Secondly, the article tends to give
the impression that I was disturb-
ed by the "delay"
in
the implemen-
tation of the program. This is only
partially true. Like other academi-
cians, I often wish that my own
projects would move faster through
the the academic bureacracy;
however, I am neither disturbed
nor surprised by the delay
associated with our present efforts.
I believe that I convey the feeling
of my interested colleagues when I
suggest that a delay accompanied
by enthusiastic support would, in
the long run,
be
more advan-
tageous than immediacy with luke-
warm support.

The selling of prophylactics
(primarily condoms) on campus
seems to be of great concern
recently.
By no means do I claim to know
what's best for the average college
student, as does the average ad-
ministrator. They are older, wiser
and much more apt in understan-
ding my peers than I am - a mere
fellow student who has been at
Marist four years now.
It's suddenly becoming clearer,
Marist could never sell condoms on
campus. It's just not possible.
It
would cause too many problems.
The first problem would
be
Sabotage. Imagine,
if
at the spring
barbecue, some students bought
every box of condoms at the
bookstore and proceeded to cover
all the hot dogs in sight. Parents
would then bite into the protected
weiners and think that Seiler's food
is
horrible (something we've known
all along) and refuse to sent their
child to a college capable of poison-
ing their little darling. Marist would .
lose a lot of potential revenue. You
know what this would mean; Don-
nelly would never be completed.
Then of course, there's the pro-
blem of students using them to jam
fire alarms or trade them like
baseball cards. I'll give you a glow-
in-the-dark one for two lubricated
ones. Plus, who even knows if con-
doms are recyclable? (There's a
disgusting thought!)
If
Marist sold condoms, we'd be
condoning and encouraging the act
of intercourse between students.
An example, two virginal
students, Suzie and Chip, (names
have been changed due to certain
privacy laws) have been dating for
one year and have never even con-
sidered the thought of getting
physically intimate because both
feel they're not ready yet. One day
they journey to the bookstore to
buy some apple juice and a box of
fig newtons. While on line, they
notice a sign advertising condoms.
"Maybe we should buy some,"
says Suzie.
"Well, we really don't have a
need for them right now, but since
MARIST is selling them, maybe
it's time we did it!" responds Chip.
"Yes, it must be OK. Marist
must want us to do it," agrees
Suzie.
Wow, Marist does have a point.
Look at all the horrible things that
can occur if we were
to
make con-
doms available on campus.
My apologies to the president
and administration for mocking
your policies. By no means should
condoms be sold on this campus.
Of course it's more important to
save the reputation of Seiler's and
prevent lawsuits than it is to help
prolong the life of a human being.
Don't ever lose sight of your
priorities Marist. You're doing a
fine job, don't change a single
thing.

John Dougherty, assistant professor of criminal justice, doesn't mind
giving kids straight talk about the police department -
in
fact he loves it.
Dougherty, class of '69 and a former captain with the City of
Poughkeepsie Police Department, has spoken with local high school
seniors who may be looking for a career in police work.
"I
love police work because it is very gratifying," Dougherty said, "I'd
tell any student to look into it."
Dougherty, who participated in the program sponsored by the Dut-
chess County Chamber of Commerce, said the focus is to reach the un-
common student -
the one who will probably not attend college.
The students attending his lectures, made up of males and "'females,
are generally from lower income families and currently working part time.
His message is simple: "You may not be applying to college today,
but in a few years you may change your mind and criminal justice is an
exciting major."
And, he said, the police department will subsidize an employee's en-
tire college tuition, in fact, he received two masters degrees during his
20 years of service. In addition, one's salary increases as he or she fur-
thers his or her education.
Dougherty said the feedbackfromthe students has been quite•positive.
"Most of the kids were intrigued by the excitement of the job," he
said. "They asked questions like: how many times have you been shot?"
After reading the student evaluations, Dougherty said he was surpris-
ed to find early retirement as an aspect of the job that interested them.
When asked how the recent criticism police departments have receiv-
ed affects his promotion of police work, Dougherty suggested that things
go in cycles.
"Things get so bad that the public demands a change, and this makes
better police departments," he said.
Dougherty said he believed only good can come from the video taped
beating of Rodney King by officers of the Los Angeles Police Depart-
ment because the incident outraged the public and will force departments
nationwide to reassess their hiring and training techniQues.
But will any of the students who participate in the program actually
become Dougherty's students at Marist?
Diane Perreira, director of the Office of Special Services,
presents an 'awareness recognition' award to adjunct professor
of English, Tom Goldpaugh.
"I
guess you can return to the scene of the crime," said Dougherty,
that 20 years ago he never thought he would be back at Marist.

volunteers for their contributions
to students with disabilities.
At the reception in the Faculty
Dining Room, computer center
staff unveiled a vocal screen reader
for blind, visually impaired and
dyslexic students. The device will
enable students to use computers
efficiently, since it can pronounce
letters as they are typed, as well as
read individual words or complete
sentences aloud.
"We're thrilled to have this,"
said Diane Perreira, director of the
· Office of Special Services. "And
for our dyslexic students this is a
miracle" Perreira said there are
about 40 to 50 students at Marist
who have some sort of reading
· difficulty.
After the unveiling, Perreira
presented the 'awareness recogni-
tion' awards to Christa Baumgart-
ner, Joanne Colucci, Eric Dunkel,
Carl Gerberich, Tom Goldpaugh,
Richard Goldstone, John McGin-
ty, Desmond Murray, Audrey
Rodrigue, Marge Sadowski,
Gopalan Sampath, James Sherwin,
Vincent Toscano, Christina Ver-
tullo, and Mary Zampko.

thly fee of $350 - $25 less than the
community is charged.
The college is also explorjng
other options, including IBM's
campaign to help non-profit
organizations finance preschools
and an arrangement with St. Fran-
cis Hospital which provides a
preschool for children of its
employees.
But the parents of the 3- to
5-year-old students aren't the only
ones who would suffer from the
shutdown of the preschool, said
Donna Bibeau, its temporary
director.
Psychology professors often use
the preschool to observe children,
and Marist students in the educa-
tion program work with the kids as
part of their "Preschool Prac-
ticum" course, she said.
The move comes at a bad time
because Marist and Vassar College
are phasing out their cooperative
education program which gave
Marist students the opportunity to
work at the Vassar preschool.
Elizabeth Nolan, coordinator of
teacher education, said the the clos-
ing of the preschool would be a
great loss to parents and students.
"Given the national need for
child care, it seems to me that a col-
lege ought to be reflecting the
highest ideals (in terms of child
care)," Nolan said.

The roots of Roots
Roots author affirms
importance of family
by
STEVEN SCHMITT
Staff Writer
Find the good and praise it.
This is the message on Alex Haley's stationary and
the idea he brought to Marist last week.
Haley, the author of Roots and collaborator on the
Autobiography of Malcolm X, stressed the importance
of family in his 70-minute speech to more than 350
students and community members.
After receiving a standing ovation before he said
a word, Haley gave the audience in the Campus Center
Theater insight into what sparked Roots.
'
'
You should send someone to
visit the oldest person in the fami-
ly. Often there is a common bond
between grandchildren and
grandparents. They perceive a
common enemy -
parents.''
"It
began when I was 6 years old," Haley said.
"After my grandfather died, my grandmother wrote
letters to her five sisters, and they all came to visit.
The house was alive with laughter, and they began to
talk about their girlhood."
Haley listened to the stories they told on the front
porch as he gained interest in
his
family and genealogy.
"It's the genealogical bug," he said. "You look for
anything that might help you track your family. With
Roots, it was nine years of research, three years of
writing -
the book just went wild."
Haley also stressed the value of family, especially
grandparents.
"In
today's
world, we have a tendency to get wrap-
ped up in computers,'' Haley said.
''They
make it so
easy to forget how we got here - the people who made
it possible.
"You should send someone to visit the oldest per-
son in the family," he continued. "Often, there is a
common bond ·between grandchildren and grand-
parents. They perceive a common enemy -
parents."
He also spoke of his involvement with Malcolm
X
who asked him to write his autobiography after Haley
had done a piece on the political activist for Playboy
magazine.
"We met for two years, twice a week, always in the
evening until about 1:30 or
2
a.m," Haley said. "After
a year, I had his life material. After it was completed,
he told me he would not live long enough to see it in
print."
·
On Feb.
21,
1965, a few days before the book's
debut, Malcolm X was assassinated.
But, Haley still finds the good to praise -
especially
the dramatic change in race relations.
"Our forefathers could have
never
fantasized
this
meeting tonight," Haley said. "How marvelous that
these things are made possible."

Workers atop Donnelly Hall
prompted the shut down of the
mainframe computer system Sun-
day, after they turned off the Com-
puter Center's air conditioning unit
Saturday night without telling
anyone, said Carl Gerberich, vice
president for Information Systems.
Temperatures in the center's
machine room, which houses the
·
3090 mainframe system, reached
122
degrees Farenheit at 8:30 a.m.
Sunday, said Wendy Duncan,
associate director for Information
Systems.
The extreme heat could have
damaged the equipment.
The mainframe computer is
equipped with a cooling device,
which prevented damage to the in-
side components, said Gerberich.
"They (the workers) needed to
lift (the air conditioning unit) up to
take out the old roof, and it was
too hot to touch," Duncan said.
Computer Center staff closed the
Donnelly room at
5:30
p.m.
Students using the P.C.s were sent
to the Lowell Thomas Com-
munication Center lab which was
open until

After discovering the unit had

V -ball to compete in nationals
by
TED HOLMLUND
Staff Writer
The men's volleyball club will be
compete in the club national cham-
pionships April 19 and 20 at the
U.S. Air Force Academy in
Colorado.
Competing schools will be divid-
ed into two categories, Division
I
and
II,
said Marist player-coach
Tom Hanna. Competing with
Marist in the Division II bracket
will be the University of Kansas,
Southern Methodist University and
the University of Massachusetts.
The host school, Colorado College,
will also be in the Division
II
bracket.
The Red Foxes' first round op-
ponent is unknown, said Hanna.
The pairings will be announced
next week.
Hanna said he is happy with the
way the tournament has been
organized.
''I
like the format," the senior
and club founder said.
"It
guarantees us six matches."
Although Hanna is excited about
. the tournament, he said the team
must work hard to improve.
"We.can only worry about what
happens on our side of the net,"
he said. "Anything can happen if
we are prepared to play on the na-
tional level. This is a great oppor-
tunity for the program."
Senior Terry Hosmer is also ex-
cited about the chance to play on
the national level.
"This is a great opportunity for
our players that have been with the
program for four years," he said.
"It gives them a chance to perform
on the national level and it gives the
younger guys a chance to gain some
exposure.''
The Red Foxes, who are financ-
ing the club themselves, will only
be sending eight players to the tour-
nament. Brian Corbett and Mark
Balkevich will be unable to make
the trip due to prior committments.
Hanna said tile team will miss
the
services
of Balkevich .
"His absence limits some of the
effectiveness in the plays we run,"
he said. "We are going to have
to
work real hard with only eight
players to make up for loss of the
, two players not coming with us."
Hanna also said the altitude in
Colorado could have some sort of
effect on the team.
"With the altitude being 7,000
feet, it will be tough," he said.
"We will have to go through extra
conditioning to adjust to the
climate."
Although Hosmer is anxious to
play in the championships, he is
worried about one thing.
"It
is a great way to end our
careers," he said. "But we are go-
ing to miss River Day!"

After several lead changes in the
fourth game, Marist grabbed a
14-6
when Hanna took himself out of
the game with the team's last
substitution. Needing just one
point to win, the Red Foxes could
not hold on.
"Balkevich had an incredible
match," Hanna said. "He took
control of the match and kept us
in
it.
He made a great effort to
keep us in it. Unfortunately, we
couldn't hold on."
In the fifth game, the Red Foxes
bounced back from a 6-1 deficit to
a 9-8 lead before losing the match.
"I felt confident that we could
get one point before they get 10,"
said Hanna. "But, when it came to
crunch time, I made some errors
that hurt us. I didn't put out the ef-
fort needed. We should have taken
care of them."
The match marked the last home
appearance for seniors Hanna,
Azarra, Brundage, Terry Hosmer,
and Kevin St. Onge. Hanna,
Azarra, Brundage and Hosmer
have been with the program since
Hanna started the program four
years ago.
Despite the disappointing loss,
Hanna was very pleased with the
play of Balkevich.

Tom Diehl knew his lacrosse
team had the tendency to give up
a lot of goals.
He also knew his team was
capable of scoring a lot of goals.
·
Saturday, the Red Foxes open-
ed the flood gates and downed the
United States Merchant Marine
Academy 25-6.
The.win increases the Red Foxes'
record to 2-7.
"It was nice to score that
many," Diehl said.
Diehl credited the Red Foxes'
fast start as a key to the game. "We
came out and did what we needed
to do," he said. "We were able to
get ahead early and that was impor-
tant."
At the end of the first quarter,
Marist was ahead 7-1.
In the second quarter, the Red
Foxes began to play a bit different,
taking a 12-3 lead into halftime,
said Diehl.
·

"We began to deviate away from
our plan," he said. "But we were

in the
third quarter, taking a 17-3 lead in-
to the final period before scoring
eight goals in the final period.
"I was glad to see that we were
consistent," said Diehl. "We never
really let up offensively and that
was nice to see."
Because key players are suffer-
ing from some nagging injuries,
.
Diehl altered his strategy.
"We started our number two
guys against their number ones
because our number ones were a bit
beat up," he said. "The other kids
stepped up and began to take
over."
Offensively,. four Red Foxes
tallied four goals apiece. Junior at-
tack Chris Feldman led the charge
with four goals and four assists
while Chris Retcho, also a junior,
notched four goals and three
assists.
Freshman attack John O'Brien
also scored four goals and three
assists. Diehl also got four goals
from junior attack Scott Zalucky.
Brett Clifford, a
freshman,

Hanifin, who has been one of
the leading players early on, was
given a chance to rest for much of
the

game. Diehl said that
he was one of the players suffering
from injuries. ''Brian was banged
up and the trainer asked me if we
could rest him and we could," he
said.
Despite the 2-7 mark, Diehl said
that his team is improving with
every game.
"Some of the concepts we have
installed were new to them," the
first-year coach said. "But now,
they are starting to come together
and learn the new concepts."
Although the Red Foxes put 25
.
goals on the board against
USMMA, Diehl said he has been
pleasantly surprised with the offen-
.
sive effort of his team.
"I am
surprised with the way we
move the ball around on offense,"
he said. "We have also done a·
wonderful job on face-offs."
Yesterday, Marist played host to
Quinnipiac College. Results were

Four days into the baseball

National League
East
The Chicago Cubs will prevail in
what could be the most exciting
division in baseball. Needing some
pitching help, the Cubbies went out
and signed starter Danny Jackson
and reliever Dave Smith. Offen-
sively, the Cubs signed free agent
outfielder George Bell, who should
thrive by getting away from Toron-
to. With Ryne Sandberg, Andre
Dawson,
Mark
Grace, Shawon
Dunston, Damon Berryhill and
rookie phenom Gary
Scott,
the
Cubs
will
hold
off
the
Mets and the
Pirates
for
the crown. Newcomers
Hubie Brooks and Vince Coleman
will help the Mets, but they will
be
unable to hold on down the stretch.
With the continuing trade talks sur-
rounding Bobby Bonilla, the
.
Pirates' chemistry will be affected
and they won't be a threat.
If
you
are looking for a sleeper in this
division, take the Expos.
National League West
I
don't care what people say
about the World Champion Cin-
cinnati Reds, they are going
nowhere. The Reds did nothing to
help themselves in the quest to
repeat
as
champions. Although
they probably won't win the divi-
sion, the
San
Francisco Giants went
out and signed free agents Dave
Righetti, Bud Black and Willie
McGee.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, who
acquired Brett Butler, Darryl
Strawberry, Kevin Gross, Gary
Carter and Bob Ojeda, will win the
West in a runaway. Butler,
Strawberry and Kai Daniels com-
bine to
form
the best outfield in
baseball while Eddie Murray will
hold together
the
infield. Gross
and
Ojeda will join Tim Belcher,
Ramon Martinez and possibly Orel
Hershiser to form a solid starting
staff. Despite being a poor defen-
sive team, the Dodgers will again
be
the
champs
of
the
National
League
West.
When the Dodgers meet the
Cubs, Chicago will prevail and
move on to beat the Mariners in the
World Series.
Unlike the American League, the
post-season awards in the senior
circuit
will
be mixed up a bit. Na-
tional League newcomer Fred
McGriff will become a valuable
asset to the Padres as he captures
the Most Valuable Player award.
Leading the way for the Dodgers
will
be
Cy
Young Award winner
Ramon Martinez while Rookie of
the Year Gary Scott
will
anchor
third
base
for the Cubs. The
Padres
won't
be
as
bad as you think -
trust me. That is why I'm picking
Greg Riddoch to win the Manager
of the Year.
Some other things you
can
count
on: Twins' Manager Tom Kelly will
be the
first
field general to be fired.
The American League will win the
All-Star game. Wade Boggs will
bat over .330. Nolan Ryan will con·
tinue to amaze people. Roger
Clemens will throw his first no-
hitter. There will be a new "highest
paid
player in baseball" before the
season is over. You will hear more
· about Jose Canseco's 1-900
number
then
you will about his hit·
ting achievements.
